The Mumbo Jumbo Way! | Imp And Skizz Podcast (Ep57) 

Mumbo is the jerk who got me back into Minecraft after dismissing it as a stupid kid's game (I'm in my 50s) for years. And via Mumbo, I got introduced to Hermitcraft. I blame him for countless hours of laughter, learning and just plain ol' fun. I mean... I could have found a better way to spend my time, but why? Thanks Mumbo. And Thank you Imp & Skizz, for bring him on the PCast. Y'all are the best,

Imp & Skizz: tell us all your secrets, also how are you such an amazing human? Mumbo: it's actually quite simple.

Mumbo: "I love humans." Imagine what our world could be if we all had that perspective.

That Mumbo short was genius for sure.

seeing Mumbo be his charming, goofy self, Really makes me want a Bdubs appearance. Being one of the O.G. minecrafter's I'm sure you guys could talk forever.

Love that Scar and Mumbo both started with CoD videos on RU-vid

I love how Mumbo can't stand still in Minecraft, and over here too he's waving his hands around so much

To Ollie's Mum: You, Ma'am, have raised a stellar young man! The way that he cares about each person who wants to meet him and treats them as equals... That says a lot.

2:45 That instantly brings me back to watching the NASA space launch live online, and someone in the chat shouting out of nowhere: "MUMBO FOR MAJOR." That was the moment I realised how big your channel was.

"Just me and my mum" I think that little line provides quite an insight to where the wonderful character came from

Love that Impulse mentioned that editing a 20 minute video well can mean it doesn't feel like 20 minutes. Saw his 1 hour, 45 minute video last week and it definitely felt much faster.

Mumbo you did great on the podcast.

Mumbo today and decked out tomorrow can't ask for a better weekend line up!

Skizz commending Mumbo on his effort and energy for his fans made me cry. That hit me right in the feels. These three are just such amazing and wholesome people. I hope to meet them some day so I can thank them for lifting my spirit every single day in person.

Guys if either of y’all see this pass along to Mumbo that his last short is reminiscent of my all time favourite Looney Tunes short, Duck Amuck, where Daffy finds himself in a battle with the animator of his own cartoon. It’s absolutely hilarious.

I am currently a teacher in Japan and I remember one day a couple of years ago one of my 2nd graders suddenly burst out in class "I want to go home and watch Mumbo Jumbo redstone videos" and I thought that was so awesome how widespread his reach was. Across age, culture, and geography he's done a great job of reaching a wide audience.

I was hoping you would interview Mumbo… Next one I hope for is Grian.

42:43 "Sometimes full commitment to a stupid idea comes out with some of the very best videos." -- Mumbo Jumbo

5:30 Well, that settles it. Keralis needs to be invited to the podcast so he can explain himself! LOL

Now I really want to see him in a suit.

I clicked faster than I've ever clicked in my life

Wow, really didn't expect you guys to actually podcast with MJ for real. Would be cool if you got Pearl or Etho on the podcast too, even tho they're pretty shy xD

Listening to mumbo talk about himself makes me smile. He is such a humble dude, its really crazy.

That short when I first saw it I was actually confused by what was going on. It was pure genius tbh. Mumbo was my first hermit. I started watching his vids back in lockdown during 2020 purely for his redstone contraptions even though I'd never be able to build em in a million years, then one day I decided to start watching the Hermitcraft stuff starting at the beginning of season 7 and never regretted it for a moment. This of course lead to me watching Grian (podcast with him when?), Scar, Bdubs, and on and on it went. I think an hour was just not long enough to hear Mumbo's stuff. I loved every minute of it. ❤

Skizzleman and Impulse, you guys are wonderful interviewers! I might not have hit every episode of your podcast, but I've hit EVERY interview! Thanks for being such kind and wonderful folks!

Best episode by far is the Fast and Furious Donkeys. Specifically the intro. The editing, the MUSIC, the humor. All of it.

I've been a Mumbo fan but this episode made me a fan of the human Oli and to find out that there's a part two and it's the Oli side, I'm excited! Well done you three! 🎉

I absolutely love Mumbo Jumbo! He was literally my introduction into all things Minecraft, including Hermitcraft itself! I am loving hearing this side of it. I very much connect with the many, many notebooks of creative ideas either executed, ignored, or in the wings.

I think that the whole personal experience at Minecon thing is really cool because to me, Mumbo is so entertaining because of how human his content is. I know less than nothing about redstone, but I almost religiously watch his stuff because it always brings a smile to my face how genuine the interactions are and his humor. He's relatable, clever, and fun to watch, which is enough to make all that he produces worth watching. Y'all are awesome!! Stay safe out there :D

Didn't expect this, but am veru happy it happened! Mumbo is the only guest so far that I don't regularly see content with a facecam from them, mostly as he doesn't stream anymore, and it was really interesting watching him, as well as having an hour of content from you guys! I didn't expect a part 2, because this video wasn't labeled Pt. 1, so when the end was coming up and you guys asked him to stay another hour, I got so excited! I cannot wait for next week, especially as someone who loves photography and editing videos, and is possibly thinking of going into movie making, I think next week will be super interesting. Thank you!!

Absolutely love seeing the hermits on the podcast, give this comment a like if you wanna see the 🐐 Docm77!!!

Ah you all have such great chemistry. I had this on while I was working and I had one of the most enjoyable and productive hours ever. Thank you for this and I can't wait for the next one! As always top notch content. Also, I find it so weird to hear Mumbo's irl name said so many times haha Not only years of watching him only as mumbo, but inside jokes with my wife about moments, my kids have worn a 'mumbo for mayor' shirt as they grew up, and my 4 year old and I even sing the Mumbo AFK song all the time. He is such a great community leader, so thank you guys for having him on!

Fun fact: this “painting” on jumbo wall is actually an vinyl of popular jazz rock British artist called King Krule. The record itself is called “space heavy”

Another Mumbo podcast next week? Lovely!

Who’s this unsuited, unmustached man who sounds exactly like Mumbo?

Such a real person all the time. Love Mumbo. I'd love to see him join you guys on Phasmo some day!

I still can’t believe Mumbo doesn’t actually have a mustache, it feels like betrayal.

Man i needed this today, Been having a rough few weeks and finally got a chance to catch up with the podcast!

Bring back "spoon!" It's a common word in my house now, usually directed at my kids😆

If Mumbo was a dog he'd be a Great Dane. The gentle giant that loves humans. 😂

imagine many years from now someone auctioning off Mumbo's idea journals

I think they should bring in Oli the OrionSound... we're talking mastery of editing? Oli is THE master of editing, his episodes (when there are episodes lol) are absolutely incredible, every last one of them, and he's also an insanely talented singer and musician

Mumbo is just pure wholesomeness

Yes! Mumbo, Impulse and Skizz together talking for an hour! Made me so happy to see the video pop up made me so happy. Thanks for all your podcasts, Imp and Skizz =D

Man, now I wish mumbo would hop on the phasmo team.

OMG!!! THISSSS!!!! Mumbo upclose and personal!

I can't believe how down to the ground Ollie is! I love his content and humor! Yo Skizz and Impulse, great video!

I love seeing such creative people talking about their creative fields! This was such a joy to watch!

My favorite quote is one attributed to Mozart: "The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between." And that's a quote that really stands out to me. I'm a fellow percussionist, 5 years in marching band, 4 of them as front ensemble, one year in drumline but still drummed in pep band, then a year of indoor drumline for Audio Theater. As a percussionist around the whole marching band and drum corps scene, I'm sure you can agree that most drummers, when they want to look flashy, they will play something fast. They learned a lick from a DCI group and now they play it 10bpm over what it should be played and that's impressive, it's got hi-moms, backsticks, crossovers out the wazoo... and, yes, it's fast... and sure, it's clean... but you're also showing it to other percussionists. Show it to someone who knows nothing of drumming and rudiments and hybrid rudiments and out of context from the music, and they'll just think you're making a lot of noise! Sure, it's hard to make a snare drum sound emotive on its own, and that's when dynamics and pacing come in to place. Tying that back into RU-vid, I never liked Pewdiepie. I know, shocking and now everyone hates me. But I've tried watching him quite a few times actually, and I don't know if he's changed his style since then, but when I watched his videos, there was sooo much stuff going on visually, too many effects, like zoom-ins, camera twisting, shaking, flashing, text flashing on screen - it wasn't MLG level, but it was enough to deter me from watching more. As opposed to someone like Markiplier, especially when his editor LixianTV started and Marcus and Rachel carried it on. There are effects, but they're usually there to punctuate a joke or emphasize a moment. In the interstitial, it's just Mark playing a game, talking to himself or the camera. And it may be their humor that adds to it, but not every effect is a sudden flash in your face. Some of my favorite jokes are like the ones Mumbo mentioned where you look at the waveform and there's a long silence, and while editing you'd probably cut that out... but like in Mark's video [I believe titled] "Hunting The Goatman", Bob asks Wade a question and I think at that moment Wade was muted thanking his subs or whatever, completely tuning Bob out, and Bob and Mark are waiting for a response, so in this like 3 to 5 seconds of silence, there's a long zoom in on Mark's webcam heightening the moment only for the silence to be immediately shattered by Wade unmuting and talking about something completely unrelated to Bob's question. This... ran on longer than I intended, I apologize; it's a problem I have and can't seem to ever avoid, but in short: I agree. That Mozart quote. 😅 Silence is just as, if not, more important than constant noise or action.

Couldn't stop smiling listening to this episode. All such great people chatting about being great people. I couldn't agree more with everything said. Mad respect for all of you.

That Mumbo short really was the best, and so clever.

What an incredibly humble,inspiring, young man! ❤

Petition to get Etho on the podcast ↓

I've always wanted to see a sit down interview with mumbo and get a peek into his creative process. Do ethoslab next! It would be hilarious if the video feed was just him in his minecraft world rather than a camera

Mumbo is such a good person, can't think of anyone better to have such an Audience

I really enjoy the way you interview! You're naturally very appreciative and supportive, your questions set your guests up for success in the sense of giving them an opportunity to give an interesting answer or insight. I like how you take yourselves back in these episodes but not out of the video, it still is very much an imp&skizz podcast. I love how far you've come with this, research, sound, editing, and energy - you give it your all and it shows. Hope this comment puts a smile on your face, because your videos have done that a hundred times over for me

Hearing what Mumbo was like at Minecon 2016 was quite inspiring. Be more like Mumbo everyone.

I really want to see a keyboard cam at some point when Mumbo is playing minecraft or any other game for that matter. I need to see just how he does that in a Gameplay Situation

Mumbo was my first Hermit (a la Doctor Who) followed by Grian, BDubs, and then Impulse. I'm still absolutely stunned by the amount of skill these guys have but watching them has really made my builds infinitely better. Great interview, guys. Thanks.

I hope you’ll be able to make a interview with Grian. His brain and wild imagination will be one of the most interesting things to talk to about in the Minecraft community. From being probably the worst survival player in his 1st season of hermitcraft to becoming one of the most interesting hermit and a former MCU champion.

Wonder if X would agree to intreview. It would be fun to interview him in his minecraft world or something like that.

Thank you for selecting the most amazing people for your podcast :) listened to the entire episode while driving and had to have a watch here to have the full experience :) Love it!

Great video! Love Mumbo, and glad you got him on the show. Looking forward to Part 2!

mumbo's short films are such an inspiration for me !! they've reinvigorated my love for film :)

Top guy. I've spent and continue to spend many happy years and hours watching Mumbo videos with my daughter and it's always the first one of the Hermits to watch when a new video appears. At nearly 50 it's one of the few things I actually enjoy watching (along with other Hermits!). Thanks a bunch.

This was a SPICY guest appearance! Gotta love good ol mumbo!

This episode reminds me how I started watching Hermitcraft and came to learning who Skizz was. A friend directed me to RU-vid when I was asking how to make some redstone device (I think it was an item sorter) and found Impulse's tutorial. I would go on to look up how to make various doors, farms, and contraptions. Looking for a potion brewing wall I found a tutorial by Mumbo and one by Tango. At this time both of them were on Hermitcraft but I didn't know what Hermitcraft was. I didn't watch "Let's Play"s, I was looking up tutorials. Then one day in my recommended videos was this Build Swap with Grian and Mumbo where they each built a house (Mumbo a redstone cabin and Grian a big mansion) and then the other person tweaked it (Grian making Mumbo's cabin look nicer and fancier while Mumbo added redstone stuff to Grian's mansion). Watched a few more Grian and Mumbo swaps and contests, watched more Build Swaps that Grian had with other people. Then I saw a video where Grian joined Hermitcraft. This was the first time I heard of Hermitcraft. Eventually I see a video for Naked and Scared. It was the skyblock season. I have played skyblock and I was interested in how it would go. I wanted to see if skyblock newbies would make the mistake of leaving spawnable blocks unlit or if someone would be careless with an early resource. I would go on to watch other Naked and Scared seasons and some Hardcore Skizz. And it was Skizz who gave me the courage to try playing Minecraft in something other than Peaceful (I am still terrified of creepers and spiders, Minecraft spiders are way too big but I wouldn't want them smaller either).

Mumbo of the Jumbo… hard to believe the sheer amount of followers and he still appears all humble and not impacted by the stardom. Good interview, Imp&Skiz.

Inverted Y was normal when we were kids. I swear it was the default in anything from flight sims to fps games.

I can't thumbs up this enough!! Keep up the great work gentlemen!! I look forward to fridays even more now because of this podcast.

Another spectacular guest!!! So glad you guys got him!

This was great. I’ve been following Mumbo for a few years now and am seriously inspired by his take on life, topped by the fact that he is so humble and human. Total respect for the guy. Despite being nearly 20 years his senior, he is someone I look up to (& I don’t just mean that literally!)

Another good episode!! I always am at an awe seeing those notebooks Mumbo has for all his ideas especially for redstone. It's very inspiring! Definitely cannot wait for part 2 on the other side of Mumbo Jumbo! The filmaker/videographer !

Love seeing the creators Imp and Skizz have featured on this podcast. Especially their fellow Minecrafters. Mumbo was a delight to listen to and I can't wait for part 2! :)

Love watching the other hermits come on! I wonder if Docm77 would be interested in doing one

Yes! I’m so excited! This is gonna be so good!

I've had this in my to-watch list for like a month, finally got around to it...and it was worth it! What a great episode, can't wait to watch part two.

What a pleasure to watch... err- listen. Mumbo is just the best, thanks team!

i’ve always said mumbo would be great doing a podcast and this video is proof. all i could ask for♥️

The legendary moustache man

IMHO, Mumbo's answer on how he got his yt voice and cadence about imitating others, then getting back to your own with bits of the person imitated being a small part of the new style can also be found in a persons personality as they age, statt imitating your parents, then a certain family member, then certain friends, people on t.v. and as you grow, you maintain bits and pieces of all those people in your life that you admire enough to imitate. Yes, Skizz, if we ever had a conversation, it would get really deep, not sure Impulse with his super shovel shuffle could dig that deep.

i invert mouse, i think it's definitely an older person thing, those of us that grew up with old PCs and joystick controls playing space games

Still thinking about how Keralis uses the keyboard 5:31

I love this. Mumbo is so down to earth and wholesome.

Just saw part 2 drop so I am here to watch them back-to-back.

I love the thumbnail of Oli as Mumbo, to make up for not dressing up as Mumbo.... Love the podcast as always, hate waiting for the next ones to come out....

Yes!!!!! I always make time for guest episodes!! You all are fabulous interviewers!

What an amazing human Oli is. Just in absolute awe of him. Talents, humble & just 1 pure human. No wonder many many people love Mumbo.

Love that you've got Mumbo on this week (and next)! Mumbo's videos have been such an inspiration for me. I'm no redstoner but to see the amazing things possible with redstone, from cool vault doors to walking slime creatures, combination locks, elevators, and all sorts, is always entertaining and has led to me actually trying redstone more than I might have. When redstone was first added to the game I gave it a go, watched a couple of videos, decided it wasn't for me and stuck with building. But now I do incorporate redstone machines into my builds, and though it's nowhere near as complicated as Mumbo's, I've caught myself saying "it's quite simple really" to servermates who think I'm some sort of redstone wizard! (I'm not, I'm copying Mumbo, Impulse or Ilmango 99% of the time)

Once again this Podcasts delivers!!! I cannot wait for next week to gear about the man behind mumbo.

Finally we get to see mumbos face well whilst he talks all excited

Almost fell out of my seat when I saw this week’s podcast featured Mumbo! Absolutely LOVED every second and can’t wait for part 2!! Such an amazing and inspiring episode!

As a heavily creative individual who thrives most when being creative, this podcast resonated with me so heavily, as I’m sure it did to many others. The messages within, were desperately needed to here

Mumbo, I've been subscribed since 2013, and wow it's been so awesome seeing you grow. I'm proud of you man

this was unexpected to be one for mumbo!

Oh man, CraftedMovie mentioned, that takes me way back to when I played on their community server in 2012

Can’t believe im just seeing this now. I love Mumbo, i found him through cars and photography and later finding he played minecraft. Mumbo and hermitcraft led me to the impulse. Amazing how far you all have come love you guys!!! ♥️

Loved this interview! Thank you Mumbo for coming this amazing show!

Finally! I have been hoping for an episode with Mumbo!!
