Using Your Strengths For Others | Imp And Skizz Podcast (Ep126)

Taking “there’s no telling where we’ll go” literally

[@blinkoncebuddiesreveluv6961]

You beat me to it

[@VagueCastle649]

LOL

[@IvoryDoesSnarl]

Love that 😭🤚🏻

[@squibkanotty99]

To the gym apparently ????

[@hanakosaaaaaaaaan6396]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHA SO TRUE

[@afiott]

Impulse in a long sleeved shirt that isn't a hoodie is crazy. He looks so sophisticated

[@spacecadet0]

That shirt is driving me insane... you can see every twitch in it!

[@melmac15]

I could tell something was off, but I couldn’t tell what it was. Thanks🎉

[@jayaplin2691]

And not shorts

[@glassbirdfeather]

... the bar for men's fashion is so low, huh.

[@Wodfamchocsod4]

@@glassbirdfeather It is.

We gotta have BigB on the podcast at some point 🙏🙏

Something that has always had an impact with me throughout every episode is probably something that Imp and Skizz don't even realize: that they are a true example of a healthy and thriving friendship. They're honest with each other, love each other, and respect each other so purely... They're fantastic role models to their viewers for what that looks like from a truly humble source and honestly, I think that is fed from their desire to learn and tempered by their years of friendship. We are getting a rare look at a relationship that has overcome great obstacles and weathered storms to become what it is today. Unfortunately, that isn't super typical in this society today and I always find myself so incredibly grateful to be able to "see it to believe it" in a way. Seeing them and how they interact with each other allowed me to take a look at my own actions in how I treated people and decide I didn't like it, that I wanted to be better. Thank you for all your wisdom, laughs, reality checks, and encouragement Imp and Skizz. Keep being your authentic selves both in front of and behind the camera. ♡

[@rachelkubacki1642]

My bestie and I both love them and template our friendship on their example

[@bitterbytes3925]

@rachelkubacki1642 That makes me happy to hear. Yall are wise for it!

[@jujub32]

22:38 skizz: “bro… some people have rhythm and some people dont…” impulse: “happy feet!😃”

[@mtn_linda364]

First thing I noticed was Impulse looking thinner and then he mentioned how Clare got him on a new health journey. Keep it up, Scot!

[@emeraldrain9403]

Me too! We see you, Impulse!!!

[@Geographyisextremelycool]

I noticed too!

[@thetwilightpug8778]

Yeah I thought so too

[@Frugthereal]

You're right! I was wondering what was different about him this episode.

[@linal427]

he said in a recent stream he is doing 75 hard

[@asacavanagh]

Hey Impulse, you may never see this comment, but I just have to say you've done really well with the health kick! I've been watching you for a while and seen your progress but in this episode especially for whatever reason it is really noticeable how much you've slimmed down man! So I just wanted to say a massive congratulations on your progress mate! I've just started my own sort of weightloss journey in the last month or so and I can say without a doubt seeing and hearing what a difference it's made to you is a genuine inspiration.

[@alyssiasmith9207]

Skizz losing it over the Happy Feet reference is doing something for my soul! 😂🥲

[@paradigm8559]

Was not expecting Impulse to say he's a masochist less then a minute into the video. 😭

[@erinnstreeter]

Have you heard his piercing story? I was not surprised by the statement. 😆

[@4mmie]

​@@erinnstreeter the what?...

[@glassbirdfeather]

That's what makes Impulse and Skizz such good friends. The Masochism and Sadism Duo.

[@discotheunicorn447]

​@erinnstreeter No, I have not. Where can I find this?

[@TactiDM]

14:16 i love these moments where Imp and Skizz say the same thing at the same time. It shows just how long they've been best friends

[@carlthecactus1513]

Today the roles have switched. We have Impulse being all silly and goofy while Skizz is trying to act all professional and sort things out and I love it

[@mtn_linda364]

Impulse regretting his orange lighting in an early episode. Goes in the field to Orange Theory and REALLY goes orange. 40:58

[@MyNameIsBhex]

I just noticed the backdrop being a "stone tile" made out of cut foam tiles. Thats smart as hell and looks so good. Sounds great

[@Jadondigital]

Yup, impulse’s wife is an interior designer! Very clever.

[@JonsMG]

It's such a good look, Tango said on a recent stream that he's doing the same for his backdrop

[@NalroosKilana]

You can still be self actualised and set boundaries that you know may be trampled. Saying “don’t tell others I can do this” is just protecting your own peace. Y’all are just aware of what you’re emotionally capable of and that is okay! ❤ Can’t take care of others if you are left on empty. Taking care of your own peace counts as taking care of someone, because you ARE someone. Also cannot stop laughing at the “don’t zoom in… don’t zoom out.” 😂

[@nattherat44]

44:12 Impulse is like the uncontrollable child and skizz is the embarrassed mother trying to keep him in check 😂😂

[@mad_maddie]

Oh my goodness! I can't stop laughing. 🤣 When you guys walked in and the first thing Skizz does is turning the camera almost upside down I just lost it. Such a pro vlogger. And then you guys put the camera down so you can start setting up... with the camera facing a wall... and all the setup happening behind the camera... well it's nice that the video viewers get the same experience as the audio only people once in a while, I guess. 🤣 Please know that I love you guys, and this isn't meant as any form of negativity towards what you do. As you said, this was a learning experience, and after you have done a couple more vlog videos you will facepalm over this one so hard. Also, the audio sounded really good, so good job on the mics! ❤

[@Densema]

20 seconds in, and I'm just AMAZED by Impulse's look. You look AWESOME in that sweater, kudos to you!

[@lemonlous]

love that impulse wore his podcast merch to the seminar

[@Req-46_PW]

Impulse, thank you for the advice on the stream the other day regarding the audio interface and better voice quality. I picked up the RodeCaster Duo, paired with my Shure MV7x it sounds amazing. You should do a video series on streaming/recording setup. I think it would do well! Thank you again!

[@emoore06905]

20:00: I went through Army ROTC with a guy like this - zero rhythm. Could not lead a march to save his life. "Left , left , left , right , ." Great show! Thanks for taking new risks!

[@hyperwater47]

Imp and Skizz on the go! That was so fun, seeing y'all "in the field" 😁

[@MoonyFBM]

These podcasts are my only source of continuity, and I really appreciate having something constant to look forward to. ✨ And it's really entertaining in many ways, haha! (of course there are exceptions bc people get sick or have issues that gotta get resolved, all understandable)

[@Serenity_Craft]

I don't feel like I have a lot of strengths to share with others, however; I do believe I can be helpful at this moment. Next time you are setting up on set somewhere with bad lighting, I recommend using reflectors and defusers for your lights. It helps more than you would think. A reflector can be as simple as a piece of cardboard wrapped in foil, Imp has wrapping experience :) and a defuser can be as simple as a white sheet to soften light. If you don't understand what I am saying, cause I am bad at words, ask Mumbo please. He is great at photography/videography.

[@Karimiles3238]

I don't know very many people who are truly at the top of the pyramid. I honestly think it's a big step to realize what capacity you have to get your work done and how much time you reasonably can take to dedicate to another person's goals. So being able to, up front, set the boundary with someone of "don't tell others because I can't do this for everyone who would want me to" is a step too many don't take. It's way too easy to get ahead of yourself and go down a rabbit hole of helping people and then you realize your cup is bone dry and you've poured everything out and can't take care of yourself or even what your immediate family needs. I enjoy baking for people and I'm self-taught so I have a hard time pricing my work because I feel bad because I downplay what I do because I have no formal training. Then when I do it for free, something turns into a huge chunk of time that I didn't expect because I'm a perfectionist. So there always seems to be a catch 22 when leveraging skills to help someone and being able to stay within the parameters you're comfortable with BEFORE you end up drowning, it huge. I want to get better about that for myself!

[@trash__queen]

You guys are darling. This is my favorite tv show episode i look forward to each week. Go dads!

[@MommaSheep13]

I love how you never know what you're going to get with a podcast. But you know you will always be entertained. Thank you guys so much. I learned a lot about what goes into these and it was really neat to see.

[@yanzdonaldo3435]

Anybody want a Techno Dad podcast?!!! I Do!!!!!

[@kayleerabadan4215]

I really hope they do one day!

[@graciewilliams90]

I want one so bad, I think it'd be a really good one

[@jasmindisney8787]

I bet he'd do it too, attach a charity to the episode?

[@estherclawson6876]

Sounds like a thing. Could be good.

[@ThreeAndAHalfOfDiamonds]

22:45 i never expected you guys to mention one of my favorite movies when i was younger 👏😆

[@Lia._.Limeade]

Genuinely this inspired me to start going back to the gym and taking care of myself better! I appreciate this podcast so much and it’s taught me so many things that I can use in life. Keep it up because you guys are changing lives.

[@Macke0]

Love the evolution of your guys podcast room, truly has grown and I’m all for it.

[@oscar6540-b7c]

22:44 Impulse: Happy feet... *Skizz ded*

[@AkselBredahl]

Hi, I just wanna say that I love the podcast, have watched a bunch of these over the last year or so. The whats stopping you (both of them) meant a lot to me, and also the podcast with gem. They inspired me to become better at just doing things, since then I have worked myself closer to my dream in the film world by becoming a volunteer on indie film sets, which was a pretty big leap of faith for me :) So thanks for being a big inspiration! :)

[@noowwwi]

Hey guys, I hope you read this. I've only started to listen the podcasts recently, and I might be one amongst many for you guys to tell you this, but you guys are getting go through a pretty rough period in my life. I wanted to express my gratitude for the smiles you gave me.

[@ashcocchiarella9676]

I always love the podcast notification coming across my screen! Amazing work as always! ❤

[@EvesterBee]

23:00 I love this moment so much, Impulse saying something hilarious but keeping a straight face and Skizz laughing is a classic. Idk why just makes me laugh every time!

[@pixiepowder4322]

That was a *really* abrupt ending… the next video started & I genuinely thought YT had glitched or smth 🤔 Having said that, love the episode 🥰 I really appreciate all of the hard work you guys put into doing this podcast. My partner & I look forward to podcast day every week!! We love you guys so much, and watch literally EVERYTHING - Hermitcraft, Life series, Guess the Build, Impossible MC (that one has been a blast!), can’t forget Naked & Scared! all of yalls single player series, name it (ha ha) If you’ve recorded it we’ve watched it together as a family w our little boy bc we’re all MC nerds & we all love you guys. Thanks for creating the content for us to all cuddle up w together w on the couch every night 🥰 Yall are amazing 🫶🏻

[@IdoesDoodles]

This one was so cool!! I get asked for my skill sets a lot by family and friends and it does take quite a bit of my time, but I enjoy it so much

[@SiejeCraft]

Thank you guys for another fun and interesting podcast! I liked the whole thing including the field trip at the end! A little chaos, a little learning, a lot of good friends hanging out together energy -- what's not to love! Awesome!

[@nasiskahn]

What a fun and different experience! You are learning a lot! I bet she appreciated that for her website.

[@mkbean]

Great stuff giving back to her and her business.

[@mcircuitlogic]

I just did the Marcus Buckingham StandOut test and found it very helpful to organize my thoughts because I like gaining skills but struggled with choosing a direction in life that I am good at but also enjoy. If you are both able (I don't know all the YT & copyright stuff) and willing to share your results, I feel a conversation about them and experiences that relate would be a very enlightening episode for those of us that are still learning how to sort all the things I enjoy vs all the skills I have to find the sweet spot.

[@josepass2563]

Happy new year! Already know its gonna be another great episode!

[@brownkids6076]

I always look forward to the podcast, you guys are literally the best and I love everything you guys do please don't stop ❤

[@StarNanny]

Umbrella ☂️ lights next on Impulse’s list. 🤭 (Talk to Mumbo.) Or just check out his vids about video creation? edit: Mumbo: Lighting for Documentaries He actually recommends something much more portable!

[@bobspruce]

I love this vlogging type vit at the end, petition to start an imp and skizz vlogging channel!

[@ssgc]

You two are such lovely human beings. Thanks so much for sharing your work and yourselves with us with this podcast and your Hermitcraft work and other fun games. So glad to spend time listening to you :D

[@bromberry]

happy new year to all of u :D i‘m so happy to listen to this imp&skizz episode now!! :3

[@gyixtao]

I am one of those guys like your uncle. I can literally do anything with just a few hours of practice or research. I've gone from Mc Donalds cashier to store manager, skip to Maintenance tech then electrician, now Woodworker and DIY Auto mechanic. If you put a machine in front of me (including a robot) working, or not, I will figure out its purpose, flaws, and potential improvements within hours to days, depending on complexity. Like impy said, it's a love of learning, or maybe an obsession. I get BORED if I am not learning. One of these days, i'm going to make something in the wood shop in honor of my favorite creators

[@DustyPie57367]

Whoos the man with the plannn SKIIZZLEEMAANNN

[@TactiDM]

[@Indubitible_E]

[@Rohanadarilin]

Happy New Year everyone.

[@carsonmontano7116]

WOOOOOOOOO IMP AND SKIZZ

[@fuyahanabi1304]

Your audio setting for the recording session outside was immaculate. All of you sound exactly like how you did in your usual podcast setup.

[@tocon23]

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS

[@kalibrown1289]

Wonderful podcast! What a difference from day one!!

[@jacobticer1798]

Skizz you hitting the cymbal when take me to church was on literally made me tear up from how much I love you I've been drumming since I was two so 25 years at least I caught that I fucking love you

[@tracefreeman3015]

I love how awesome y’alls cameras are very clear picture

[@TrishAKAEminemFan97]

I forgot it was Friday ❤️ such a happy notification

[@EnnDraws-j7f]

23:03 i love happy feet😭 whenever im excited Ive just said that I have “happy feet” because my legs just move uncontrollably 😭

[@qocket]

Impulse I had no idea you'd worked with Technodad, thats so cool!

[@vinshoken]

so excited for this!!! thumbnail looks epic!!

[@benandashley15]

I enjoyed this so much

[@PhilandSofia]

They are going places… maybe not vlogger places… but for sure places

[@figmint77]

Maybe Mumbo could give you some lighting recommendations? And maybe a gimble if you're going to do more filming on the go.

[@ParallaxOfTheVoid]

Hopefully Keralis will be on the podcast soon

[@arafpv9530]

This makes me miss living in PHX so much. It’s so pretty there and not freakin freezing all Year. Great podcast as always guys!! I love the risks yall take on here and it always really pays off! Now I gotta go lift today .-.

[@mijetboi]

although it wasn't the topic of this episode, the conan o'brien mention put a big stupid smile on my face. that man is national treasure.

[@Questerer]

For some reason, Clare’s episode put me deeper in a negative spiral. No idea why and I didn’t want to comment it on her episode. I’m still not better and I am waiting far to long for mental help. I feel lonely. But thank you Imp and Skizz for bringing a little bit of that positive energy over from the screen. It really helps me to distract myself from negativity.

[@lithiumqueen]

Please find a friend or loved one to talk to and spend time with- when you're feeling down, it's so easy to isolate yourself, but it's better to be with people you love than it is to isolate.

[@Questerer]

@ I know and I’m often with my parents. But I sometimes cannot handle being with others too. Then I’m socially overwhelmed I guess.

[@balthiersgirl2658]

Utterly amazing work gentlemen ❤❤

[@MizuMiss]

Impulse, your progress on diet is so visible! Congrats and good job! 🎉😉

[@theturquoisecoveredunicorn9443]

Hello? 😅 I would llove to see Imp and Skizz do more vlog-type content!!! 😮😮😮 Imagine like a road trip or something, I would tune in for hours!!! Love you guys and well done ❤❤❤

[@yosrahamza]

Love you guys , watching feom Egypt ❤

[@scotchramune]

I would actually love to see Skizzes uncle on the pod! Sounds like a cool guy I would love to learn from. Also love the vlog part, it was super fun and I definitely wouldn’t mind seeing more

[@trash__queen]

36:33 the dads go outside

[@starterjam2201]

Gonna save this for later!

[@Vansanna07]

The amount of us excited about the mention of Happy Feet has me smiling.

[@mcwheesus]

at 12:58 I learned I am not good at reading lips.

[@SierraNight]

I've had to learn to be sometimes. I even catch myself looking at where their Minecraft character's mouths are when they start talking It's funny, weird, but understandable when you have hearing aids lol Note: I'm also not good at it either. I use both visual and audio, even though I am also visually impaired :3

[@taytaythehufflepuff8532]

I am pretty sure I know what they're getting at, but for the sake of not spoiling it for anyone else / not wanting to be wrong, I'm not going to make any statements about it.

[@RecoveryCat]

I love that the guys tried this out!

[@bIitzobuckzo]

IMP N SKIZZ TIME!!!!!

[@Sprokets5]

"Did we even hit record?" got me laughin so hard!

[@monatae9725]

Seeing y'all in the wild was fun!

[@sandin67]

Has a mechanic, I needed to tell my wife to stop telling everyone I'm a mechanic lol alot of people become your new best friend when they find that out

[@capedkat]

This was so cool!!!!! ♥

[@Missmori]

your talk about the sadness of having to say no is something i understand. and also saw you two have to put into action when you retired birthday You Yo-s. it made me sad, but i completely understood why, as your whole stream would have been taken up by them. another podcast i watch actually had to appologize that they couldn't read out all the random silly superchats at the end of their live stream because the superchats would be 3 hours, after a 1 hour podcast, and their girlfriends want them home for dinner and bed before midnight. So they're sticking with only reading the relevant ones to the topic. I lost a lot of friends when i had to start telling people no. but i found the people who actually care about me, and not just what i could do for them. and that means a lot to me.

[@S_s_s_Steph]

Loved this episode. Please could we get some Vlogs in the future. Maybe when you're visiting events? 😇

[@El-io]

I can't not laugh when I hear the name Claire because that's litteraly my name!! In a way I'm honored that someone with my name was on the podcast. Y'all for the best 🙏

[@-why-do-you-ask-]

22:46 bro I literally love that movie, fun fact that movie is why I wanted to start drumming don't ask why

[@Extex_]

why

[@floschy_1]

Skizz: Talks about how he made promotional videos at least twice Also Skizz: * struggles to understand how to operate a cameras auto-focus * Impluse: * doesnt trust skizz to start recording *

[@silverwinterwolf2064]

The health journey has def been working wonders, Ya look great there Impulse!

[@thepogona2391]

That vlog was so good !!

[@Xanoron19]

Yay!!!!!! They posted!!!!!!

[@sunnyreads_8]

The hangout vibe was fun...silly and teasing.

[@bravehearticus]

*looks around* *leans in* *whispers* Happy new year you legends *winks* *pats shoulder* *walks off*

[@zero5559]

37:51 I didnt know some places still had the newspaper dispenser outside, been a few min since i seen one

[@shillanna]

Very cool vid, I love me a road trip! 😄

[@sorreladams256]

I feel the "overused skill set" thing. I work in a very tech based school/academy with a lot of staff that don't know even the basics of some things, so when a task like "set your emails to out of office for Christmas" comes round, I have a line of people with laptops on the last day of term asking for help. I don't mind helping with small tasks when I have time but it can very quickly follow with the "could you just..." questions.

[@sbalget]

Yeah, I made the mistake Skizz didn't... I helped out and made a video essay for my grandmother's history group... I had the priest from my church at my door the next day saying that my gm had said I'd be able to do an advert for them... Like, I did this for gm because she's awesome and she's family... And as much as I hate being rude to a church; This is my job. I didn't want to decline them because that would be rude, rude... So I just told them my day rate. They didn't contact me after that. But they didn't even email me... They just showed up at my front door assuming I'd do this for them... I don't do freebies anymore. I'll do significant discounts, but I need people to understand that this is something I do for work, or they end up like gm and will tell people I did {project} for free.
