[@Zedaph]

And what a pleasure it was chatting with you guys! Gracious hosts who couldn't have said kinder things about my silly videos! ♥

[@OliviaDoesThings]

Hi zed

[@jlane1473]

Zed your season 9 Zedvancements is one of the greatest things I've watched on Hermitcraft, keep it up!!

[@chubbyanimalenthusiast70]

Was very fun seeing you here

[@TiffaniDutton]

woop woop runescape!

[@mathw5389]

Zed, you know we think your videos are very silly but that's why we love them!!

[@LostColtmusic]

Zed is incredibly underrated. His collabs in Hermitcraft Season 9 have consistently been high points, from taking Tango on a Weekend at Bernie’s arc to a symphony orchestra performance with Etho, to the Pulled Pork Parade. Great interview.

[@grutarg2938]

And speed dangling the cow with Xisuma after the arrow machine killed Zed's cow... twice.

[@the1fortheages]

Lmao... how did I not think of weekend at Bernie's when watching zed and grian move afk Tango? That fits so perfect

[@LostColtmusic]

@@the1fortheages That was ALL I could think about and my 10 yr old, who is usually ahead of the curve when it comes to catching the funny stuff in Hermitcraft, could not understand why I was laughing so hard. Not like I’d never seen an AFK prank before but it went on soooo long and there were so many horrifying near-misses.

[@ArthurChiusano-fr9qw]

Whenever zed has a new video, you know it’s gonna be some super interesting and creative collaboration/ machine/ build. Hermitcraft in general has been amazing in which creators are invited to the smp.

[@neurospicypisces]

Zed was one of the later hermits I caught onto during his cave of curiosities and bam he's got the coolest base ideas. The kids wanna binge watch a hermit season, but we've seen so many of them, but we haven't watched the entire science lab Zedaph season and I'm hoping they'll wanna watch that one!

[@MJDENTON]

The way Zedaph uses the alternate definition of "play" is what makes him so entertaining. Docm77 likes to break the rules of the game, Zedaph plays with them. Love his stuff. Thanks so much for the interview, can't wait till next Friday!

[@katiemiller8313]

Love that description!

[@hglbrg]

One of my favourite quotes from Zedaph from the shorter season was "Please stop enjoying the darkness" when he did science on Tango.

[@zombeef3074]

Zed deserves so much more exposure. He’s one of those creators that I think could entertain and pull in people that don’t play or know anything about Minecraft at all, he’s just that funny and creative!

[@Evil_Anvil]

Minecraft is a sandbox game that you can play any way you want. Yet somehow, it still feels like Zedaph found a way to play it incorrectly. Just to be clear, that's supposed to be a compliment. Zed is amazing.

[@hatkid3093]

Love your music

[@MoonyFBM]

so true haha

[@kaj661]

Zed is just as underrated as Skizz in my opinion Both so funny

[@didi81_]

Zedaph is horribly underrated. I've never understood how he doesn't have more subscribers

[@thehotwheelsreviews]

its probably because he never really tried to do youtube

[@didi81_]

@@thehotwheelsreviews what

[@thehotwheelsreviews]

@@didi81_ i mean he never asks for subs, or does whatever the youtube algorithm wants

[@xanadian9]

INORITE!??

[@danaellison3216]

Skizz saying how Impulse is the back up best friend, absolutely adorable and funny😂😂

[@justcallmeness]

I love it! This may not have been touched on during the podcast because we all see Zed's "outside the box" approach as his biggest draw... ...but the man knows his redstone. I've said this before, but you've surely seen the second Combrewter in season 8. What impressed me even more was his Minecraft timekeeper back in ZSMA. It kept track of years, months with the variable amount of days, gave him cake on his birthday and a present at Christmas, and even accounted for Leap day in February every four years. Accompanied by a moon-phase clock in the upper part of the building, it was one of the coolest things I saw at the time.

[@ca-ke9493]

Zed also is incredible at explaining his redstone builds. Nothing against other creators but the way that he explains and tests each section of his redstone in-world/sometimes in creative instead of just building the entire thing from scratch via time lapse makes redstone so much more approachable! Despite the complexity of coming up with a disc farm or a combrewter I feel like I can understand the entire build and makes me want to delve into redstone!

[@miniciominiciominicio]

An unexpected Zedaph interview?! omggggg A delightful surprise! Edit: I have never heard how Zedaph came up with his name. That’s so cool!

[@MilesJR13]

I love when Skizzle says "I'm doing this for my favorite people in the whole world." Dude is such a sweety

[@pierceferrier4088]

i became a fan of Zed because of the big base swap of season 7. (i found HC from Mumbo mid S6 and when season 7 started i started trying to keep up with more then just mumbo) I very much appreciate the very unique humor.

[@elijanzen4015]

Yeah, that’s when I started watching Zedaph too. I knew he existed before then, but he just seemed like some weird guy off in his own corner of the server and nothing really drew me to give him a chance. Then he got custody of Grian’s base, which I cared about because I watch Grian’s videos, and I very quickly learned just how delightful Zedaph’s videos are!

[@maltrisky2966]

Realising that Zedaph is making great content without being the best redstoner or builder makes me even more confident that slizzleman will be on Hermitcraft making the funniest videos in collaboration with the rest of the hermits! Slizzleman has a truly perfect ability to collaborate and make hilarious content so he needs to be on hermitcraft, living in impulse's base and causing havoc! Nod to tango who also is the missing link to you all. Much love to all three of you, all your content is great!

[@lordmord8378]

Zed downplays his technical/redstone capabilities. He is extremely good because he forces himself to solve problems people don’t normally try to solve. Sure, he doesn’t compact his redstone like some players do. Sure he doesn’t optimise his redstone like some players do. But his technical skills are excellent. The Combrewter stands out in my mind.

[@didi81_]

Zed is a pretty good redstoner though

[@StayedBoot7207]

Good guess

[@SuperJgil]

I will always remember the "HELP ME TANGO" bit . It still makes me laugh

[@TheDertyFerd]

Zed is one of the best hermitcraft creators. He's so underrated. He always puts a smile on my face

[@tamstertx63]

One of my fave seasons watching Zedaph was his Cave of Contraptions. The creative lengths he went to to perform some of the most mundane tasks. His redstone skills were outstanding (and still are)

[@liquidsuspect2469]

Zed is by far the most underrated hermit, he deserves all the love in the world

[@ashleyserraglio5548]

So excited to see Zed on the podcast! If Zed does come back to the US I'd love to see a ZITS pod episode with everyone in person, maybe talking about the experience of prior visits and the streams y'all did together back then.

[@liamengram6326]

22:40 Ironically Skizzle's "DANG IT!" is my text alert for when any of my employees text me.

[@funkystickmanmc6230]

Zed is a delight to watch, he's genuinely funny and original.

[@colleenlavigne2196]

Omg Zed is named after Zaphod Beeblebrox?!? I thought I couldn’t love him more! Great interview Imp and Skizz!

[@Questerer]

I really hope we get Etho some time in the future on the podcast.

[@WritingsOfQuill]

That's the dream!

[@TarnsYT]

props to skizz for the stabilization on zed's full cam

[@BlueaxeReproductions]

We never miss a Zedaph episode, because they have such a strong direction and concept and are so different. Sometimes we get obsessed with other storylines or content creators, but Zedaph is a constant high bar and not to be missed, I cannot think of a 'phone it in' episode.

[@namedhuman5870]

Zedaph has the most consistent way of crafting his videos. There are almost no lows and it all comes from his choice on what story to tell each season. Always a good watch, never a dull episode.

[@bizzybeans9833]

I've been hoping for this episode forever!! I've been happy dancing and wiggling for the past 47 minutes XD I could write an essay on the accolades upon accolades myself and others have for Zed. He is an absolute delight to experience and i'm glad yall feel the same. Can't wait for next week

[@stringcheese4108]

These are the truest words

[@IceMetalPunk]

47 minutes of Skizz trying to emphasize a bromance with his platonic soul mate Zed 😂

[@fusiliefusi1606]

Hitchhikers Guide through the Galaxy by Douglas Adams - incredible books! 42 and World-Towel-Day! Nice Origin, Zedaph!

[@naomibuckingham4046]

The answer to the world, life, and everything, is 42.

[@lulubaumgartner2077]

ZED!!! LETS GO!! also I just want to say I have anxiety and PTSD and these podcasts help keep me calm imp and Skizz are truly life savers for me

[@levilukeskytrekker]

+.

[@Judymoe]

Knowing where he got his name makes me adore Zed even more (platonically, of course).

[@stengele13]

my favorite zedvancement so far has been the Creeper Orchestra. Everytime I watch it I get goosebumps. :D

[@WendyNyxi]

I love how guests get 2 parts instead of rushing things ❤

[@dbass9544]

Doing interviews is definitely a good direction for this show. There are about 25 active Hermits plus Life series guys which is 50 weeks of podcasts if you do 2 parters. That’s-a whole lotta content!

[@mysticalmaid]

I only found Zedaph (and most other Hermits last year, I love how silly Zed is, the content is so light-hearted and unique.

[@sanautin]

Absolutely love Zed. There are only a few Hermits that I watch all of their Hermitcraft content as well as all of their non-Hermitcraft content. Zedaph is one of those few. Completely entertaining and likable.

[@SmerkyRandomised]

Oh my gosh, the levels of excitement when i saw this pop up in my notifications!! And yes, i am a bit late to the party on this, but that's because i was catching up on all the podcasts up to this point, and also waiting to be able to watch this and give it my full attention instead of listening while doing something else Zed is such an awesome creator in everything he does, and he definitely deserves a place on the guest list of this podcast, and now the full team ZITS podcast appearances have been fulfilled too! Both this podcast and A World Without have such value and humor to be able to rewatch/listen to them over and over, which I'm super glad of because they are my absolute favourites and almost the only podcasts i engage in It's so interesting to hear Zed talk behind-the-scenes like this, especially on his minecraft creations, since there's some to see on his films (only reason I'm glad the Kris and Jack channel stopped is being able to see the Patreon content) (but I'll save that talk for podcast part 2!), especially as i want to start livestreaming mc hardcore, i think my personality and large amount of game knowledge would make it entertaining, but I'm getting a lot of pushback from the people around me who think it would be a waste of my time when i don't have a "real" job at the moment, despite looking for one for so long and no longer feeling any passion for the job type i thought i wanted to do Anyway, Zed definitely makes things i always want to come back to, there's a reason why all 3 of his channels are at the top of my sub list, and i really need to comment to show my appreciation more, especially when the comment section is a bit lackluster for the level of quality and commitment clearly made to every video!

[@lraihly]

I feel like there’s not just builders and redstoners. There’s another class like you described: storytellers.

[@riuphane]

I love you two riffing with just each other, but every one of your guest episodes have been such a delight!

[@ImTerasHD]

One of the best podcasts out there! The conversations are really chill, feels less like interviews and more like dinnertable conversations between mates. Keep them coming! Also, Zed looks like the love child of Mumbo and Impulse 😮 handsome guy

[@lelilaplays]

I LOVE hearing how Zed's mind works with videos! Encore, encore!

[@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369]

I was always thinking getting Zed and Skizz energy in the same room would be too powerful lol

[@duvalfamily4605]

You guys interviewed Zed?! That's awesome!

[@MrBrianxero]

There isnt many Podcasts I listen too, but this is one of my favorite... I love the chemistry you two have together... Both are so different ppl, both share the love... Cant wait to see the future for you both...

[@NerdPodcastRadio]

Zed is a secret genius. When my wife and i first started watching Hermitcraft videos we were very guilty of overlooking Zedaph thinking his content was too silly for us. Over time, we realized that Zed is actually just as brilliant as any of the smartest hermits. The trick is Zedaph uses creativity and genius together to develop wild ideas to keep the game fresh. We went from overlooking Zedaph to looking forward to each new video with rapt anticipation.

[@brawlercazy1407]

"The Best Worst Pickaxe" ep2 is one I will not forget ever because it is an eye opener.

[@StarNanny]

I love that these guys show you can be silly and quirky and have fun. Even more, you don’t need to imbibe in any substances to have that enjoyment.

[@MSGsTreasures]

Can we just appreciate the fact that Zed pronounced Lego correctly 😅

[@bobsthejunk88]

Zedaph has some of the best hermitcraft content out there! Glad you guys had him on

[@Nom_Alex]

Had to wait until the end of the episode to learn Zed restarted his podcast! That's amazing!!

[@ye3623]

I'll change the Etho request. Put fanart of Kakashi on the screen when you eventually have him on But also, Zed is always a joy to watch. He's just a treasure.

[@nerdyfox5544]

This interview had me go searching for the tango comment on the zedaph video😂 And then I got trapped in watching Zedaph's old content.

[@snaperslab0218]

As a fan of both runescape and hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, am honestly amazed that zedaph is also a fan of it too!

[@purpleandwhatever7191]

OH MY GOD ZEDAPHHH

[@whimzera]

I have not been a long time fan of Zed, as I only found him at the beginning of season 9. However, he very quickly became one of my absolute favorites. I've loved every episode I've watched and this podcast had me smiling every second. In regards to being unique, my thought it always to embrace it. How boring would the world be if we were all the same, enjoyed the same type of humor, or liked the same things and so on? Being unique is what makes you, you.

[@saffral]

The hermits who make a point to do things in such different and creative ways are always great fun to watch. Zedaph, Cub, Etho, Joe, and Tango are the ones I think of first, but so many of the folks I watch do that (in Hermitcraft and beyond) and it always gives me inspiration for my own creations. It both shows great knowledge of the game and non-linear thinking. Zed is great fun.

[@DanielVisOneCade]

Ha ha ha I love that Skiz who clearly shows neurodivergent thinking can't help but be drawn to Zed another person who also is thinking outside the box it's like the odd ducks are drawn together. I've seen it all throughout my life hospitality is just full of characters with these lived experiences that don't fit the standard model but when you get them together they make incredible teams, creativity is the norm, Chaos abounds but the quality is just top notch because they are getting the best out of each other. Love it! ❤

[@lamarckleland5731]

That talk about Proximity made me want a short creative-mode season of Hermitcraft. If the hermits are already incredible playing survival, you have to wonder what they could do in creative.

[@bakamouto]

zed and tango making a game together would be absolutely unstoppable

[@jessicadurn276]

I love Zedaph and I absolutely adore all of Kris and Jack's content. Very happy to see a video dedicated to both :)

[@1st1anarkissed]

Zedaph just rose 100% higher in my esteem, which was already high, for being a towel carrier. Keep calm and don't interrupt the Vogon poet.

[@ankhayratv]

Somehow, I don't seem to ever have heard an origin story of the "Skizzleman" name?

[@shawnheidingsfelder8179]

Zed's content is special compared to the other Hermits' because most things he comes up with for season themes or off the cuff stuff seems to involve as many of the other hermits as possible. He's like a break from the grind for a lot of the hermits that would otherwise be down in a mine somewhere or building the 8th floor of their mega base, or doing yet another redstone farm. He's like the Music Man. He rolls into town, and you just know you're going to have some fun with him no matter what he has you doing, and then you can go back to your work. He also undersells his MC skills. We just don't always get to see them because his content is so different, but something like Zedvancements means you know the game in and out in order to come up with them. I really wish the Create mod were something all the Hermits would want to use for a season, just to see what they'd come up with. Give that tool to Zed, and he'd still be the zaniest hermit on the server, only times ten.

[@Judymoe]

I loved Zeds advice; you have totry to be true to yourself, because you will never be happy just blending in if it's not you. It is hard, though, but you will find your tribe. I love these guys. Thanks for the lovely, thought-provoking conversation.

[@tj_bad_one]

I love Zed, so glad he hung with y’all

[@kyasuriin413]

I'm so excited for the second half! Those short films with Jack are actually how I found Zed originally!

[@owenbegowin9335]

I love the guest podcasts! Learning more about great creators is fun, and it makes an hour long video seem so short

[@miniciominiciominicio]

Whew, I was worried about the time duration when you hadn’t gotten into Kris&Jack at all!! I’m looking forward to hearing more behind the scenes. I loved the skits and with Mumbo filming some of them we got a little more BTS but I want more!

[@thenarrator9204]

The amazing guests and behind-the-scenes of the creative minds involved (hosts included) always brings a feeling of being so centered and natural to life. It's one of the reasons I've incorporated listening to every podcast somewhere throughout my work week. Great work all! Love the silliness and editing style of Zedaph too!

[@fahimanjumchowdhury8789]

Zedaph is soooo underrated! He's undoubtedly one of the best minecrafter in this platform

[@antjer.1377]

Your one hour podcasts are always perfect for the weekend. I need exactly that time to clean my bathrooms and you help me be motivated to do it 😅

[@RandomHuman91]

Didn’t expect Zed to be on! Im so glad he is here!

[@KathyClysm]

Zed just plays Minecraft... differently. Like, it is very hard to pin-point what his "style" is. It's wacky, and silly, and unexpected. Every episode is like a present on Christmas morning!

[@CraftZ08]

I absolutely love Zed’s videos, both on the main channel and Kris and Jack. The subtle “A World Without” poster in the background kept making me think of both the podcast and the really funny sketches. Zed, if you’re reading this, I want you to know how much I love the videos on Kris and Jack and how glad I am the podcast is back! 👍

[@aidanb.9423]

the quality of the set up keeps getting better!!! love this

[@Dorench]

Zedaph is a comedy gold. I'd love to watch Zedaph in the Life series.

[@Ombby]

I've been waiting for this for so long!!!

[@jamesistooloud2669]

At about 36 mins, you ask Zed if he's gone back and watched his previous videos. I would say that if you don't feel that you from a year or two ago was an idiot, you've not developed and grown enough! Learning by doing and experimenting is sort of Zeds vibe. I am absolutely sure skizz has said something like 'you're either getting better, or you're getting worse, nothing stays the same'. I would love to see a Zed and Skizz collab series that embodies this!

[@akagif-y]

GOSH i've been wanting this for ages!! this episode has me so hyped and excited and all around happy!! thank you for making my entire week

[@LightningAussie]

Chris is an amazing creative creator who inspires me. Its 1am and looking forward to this podcast.

[@Shaun_Tait]

Zedaph on this podcast ... Bloody Brilliant !!! Looking forward tow part two

[@StuartdeHaro]

I had a smile on my face the entire time I was watching this interview!

[@dobeedeux]

Awesome! Zed is one of the funniest and most creative Minecrafters ever. You guys get all the best guests! ;) So excited for part 2.

[@7BlackMamba7]

I love watching Zedaph's videos. Super creative! He definitely is underrated 😊

[@CarlyDigsItMC]

Zed you inspire me so much as a creator. What a pleasure to watch 3 of my favorite people have such an entertaining chat 😊

[@lilpixie25]

ZED!!!! Yaaaaay!!!!! I love Zed, loved the podcast! Thanks

[@kektics3074]

What a cast! zits -1

[@jofawe]

Really interesting and good interview with Zed! Cant wait for part two! And let me just say this again, I really like this podcast!

[@sapphicgal3245]

Yesss I've been hoping for zed as guest!!! Episode came out just in time for me to listen to during a 12 hour journey, and next weeks episode will come out perfectly for my journey back haha :)

[@Monarchsfan02]

Amazing podcast this week.. zeds videos are so entertaining..thanks for this podcast guys

[@lruddy8820]

man tango is the master at making adult friends, i should be taking notes

[@QuicksilverFox85]

The way my face lit up seeing this notification! Amazing episode as always.

[@langaumann]

What an awesome episode! Three of my favorite creators and general supporters of people. Keep up the great work, Imp and Skizz! Not that you are taking requests, but would you guys ever think about having an old drum mate on? Not sure how plausible that would be, but just a different type of guest idea!

[@nikopotry]

I can't wait the next episode because I love Kris and Jack

[@IlakkiyaVenkatc2n3y]

This podcast is the gift that keeps on giving! When I started watching Naked and Scared, I never sped up the videos because your banter was so perfect! I still don't listen to podcasts other than this one. You are always so reassuring, helpful, and fun! This episode with Zedaph was pretty awesome, I'm such a fan of his style of videos too on Hermitcraft! Thank you all for this collaboration, I'm looking forward to Part 2!

[@FairyRay]

Zedaph is one of the most creative minecraft youtubers that should have way more recognition!

[@andrewholland2763]

An amazing guest with Zedaph. I started hearing about Zedeph on Tango’s Create Mod Minecraft series. I started watching Zed last season of Hermitcraft.

[@AncientDebra]

This was a great episode, very inspirational! I loved learning about the maturity of touch. I also loved the plant in Zed's background, very lush! We have enjoyed the Zedvancements this season! The 1812 Overture with Etho was amazing!

[@joerimommers]

Yeah, that ZedGraph series is going to get a spike in views, mine included! Can confirm, the scream is glorious!!

[@EvesterBee]

I loved what Zed said about how if he’s enjoying what he’s doing, then others will enjoy watching. It is so true! Sometimes it doesn’t matter for me if a content creator is playing a game I like or not, if they’re having fun so will I. Very excited for part 2!
