[@Dangthatsalongname]

I do give really good hugs ❤️

[@noatmealcookie02]

i know Scott's been to a podcast before but it would be nice if he eventually ended up as a guest here

[@randomentertainment3302]

I can imagine

[@randomentertainment3302]

…I won’t imagine it too hard…

[@Rohanadarilin]

You also organise the best events, and have the best clothes in Minecraft, and the best hats! You rock.

[@hannayoung9657]

Time to put that on your CV

[@kierianiis]

I was so worried about Scar during MCC because of the concussion - I’m glad you’d all already agreed to just have fun so there wasn’t a lot of pressure on him.

[@Idran]

Oh geez what? I hadn't heard about that, oh no Edit: oh no i just got to that part of the podcast, wow :(

[@tinathena17]

I feel worried for scar too! Im glad he had best people around him that can help him

[@GTWScar_Edits]

The Twitch staff was so amazing with making sure everyone got an autograph during mcc, and they were so apologetic for the long waiting times. But props to all the creators who stayed to sign for everyone! I was in the last batch of people to queue and it was definitely worth the wait. I was also one of the girls that came up to Tango and Skizz for an autograph while they were seating haha... Thank you, guys! It was amazing meeting you, but that was definitely a long day for all. I remember the Red Bull cans and snacks on the signing desk lol -Ayyzee

[@skyeshxde9675]

Thank you for displaying my art on screen ❤️ I appreciate everything you two do 😊❤️

[@aidanbyrne8267]

It looked awesome, you're super talented ♥️

[@brandonjones4408]

Absolutely awesome art ! Keep it up

[@SquirrelySloth]

That was an awesome looking design!

[@Rohanadarilin]

This looks so cute! And also really accurate and covering all of the passion those guys have :) Well done.

[@ScuttleBerry]

Such a cute design idea! Love how you incorporated everything

[@cassodembreankia2076]

It’d kinda be fun to have Smajor on the podcast at some point to talk about all this too. If Skizz has a bone to pick they should do it on the show over vid chat! (I am of course joking around) Also would anyone else find it fun to have a TIES Reunited episode where Etho voice calls in and Tango goes over and they talk for two hours about whatever? That’s not just me right?

[@kittenmayhem2399]

Both of those would be incredible

[@rachelkim4457]

Antfrost’s pov was so funny. He placed that tnt without realizing yall were in there. He just wanted to make the ground less stable for other players. But then he got a bunch of kill messages and he was like ?????

[@StarNanny]

😂

[@ManateeGag]

Ejected....Now I'm just picturing Scar getting loaded into a giant slingshot and yeeted out of the building.

[@StarNanny]

😂 me, too!

[@mrmxypltk]

That does not sound ScarSafe™

[@pyrosymphonyfireworksdesig5690]

And you just hear his usual howl/scream while being launched from the building 🤣

[@kumori_77]

this comment made me laugh out loud

[@CloudFuel]

It was an honor to help orchestrate MCC Live and the meet-and-greet afterwards! Bummed that I couldn't make it out to TCLV to meet y'all, but glad to hear that y'all had such a good time! 💙 Tool! 🤘🔥🤘

[@impandskizzpodcast]

It was a fantastic event! Would love to do that again in the future 😉

[@godgivenformula]

I watched Gems video, and I absolutely loved the description of you guys and Tango as "three dads that made me feel safe". I really wish there was something like TwitchCon or MineCon in Europe, I would totally go to whatever European country to meet three dads!

[@monatae9725]

There is, TwitchCon was in Paris earlier this year as well

[@godgivenformula]

@@monatae9725 THE HECK well I didn't have money back then anyways

[@shawnheidingsfelder8179]

It's cool that Scar's peers hold him in such high esteem not only for his skills as a builder, but just for being Scar: a guy that struggles just to live a normal life but puts a happy face on for everyone and cares more about how others are than he cares for himself. Gets a concussion and shakes it off because he's there for the fans. Such a good dude. He deserves all the good things that come his way, for as long as he's able to enjoy them.

[@laurenwatt3124]

I've only started listening to this, but I saw Gem's VLOG, I just wanted to say thanks SO much for being safe and amazing friends for a young lady. You guys ROCK.

[@IdoesDoodles]

The biggest showdown of the year!! Scott Smajor and Skizzleman!! HUG OFF!!!

[@piorfino]

This could be a 4 part discussion and i would love all of it.

[@Fynchfire]

SAME

[@SquirrelySloth]

Came to the comments to say the exact same thing!

[@HATitus]

LOL at Skizz complaining that Scott gives better hugs than him! 😂 I think it’s just a ‘guys over 6 feet tall’ ability. My husband and his brothers are all that height and they have the most comforting hugs ever!

[@itsghostking]

Timestamp?

[@benchangwhat]

​@@itsghostking 56:38

[@BlahCraft1]

I like how Skizz's biggest gripe (not spoiling), because it's exactly the kind of thing Skizz would have a "problem" with.

[@shadowanderson2004]

I miss Techno being in MCC. He was always the wild card to worry about. Rest in Peace.

[@ItsDesca]

Yeah when they were talking about being able to combine technical skill and being entertaining, techno immediately came to mind. Absolute legend of a dude, Technoblade never dies!

[@davarrashayde]

Scar is amazing. I love his up-beat personality and how much he lives each and every day to its fullest. I think there's a saying that i have heard and found describes the "how / why" that people don't seem to understand about those who have hard lives and being as bright as they are. "The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they do not wish to see anyone else suffer the way they do.''-Anonymous This quote makes so much sense, i wish i knew the original person who said it, because it's true. Those who've been through hell or are going through it, want to be happy and friendly because they know how bad it can get and they want to be there so that it doesn't get that bad for other people, or so that they are able to help other people out of it if things do get that bad. This is where i see Scar and others like him coming from, i'm not sure if i'm right, i'm not them, but they are amazing people, and they shine like guiding lights through the dark. Beacons of hope, joy, and kindness. That is how i see them anyway. Hopefully others see it too, if everyone tried a little bit to be more like those kind helpful happy souls, i think the world would be a much better place for it. That being said, it's not just Scar who is a happy helpful person in the HermitCraft team, there are a lot of you, and in my honest opinion. Impulse, and Skizzleman, you both are just as bright of beacons as Scar is. ^_^

[@lilnintendo]

I love that the final 5 minutes of this podcasts was just talking about Scott's great hugs

[@piorfino]

Would have loved for Gem to be a part of this episode. To get to hear her story about the event would have been awesome as well

[@Idran]

If it helps, she did put up a vlog of her experience :D

[@piorfino]

@@Idran yeah I did watch through that as well but it would have been cool to get discussion as well.

[@426shelby426]

I am late but they did a 2 part with her

[@aaishaismail5717]

Loved watched Gems vlog of this!! Excited to hear more. Been having a really, really rough day, I’ll play this while I do my homework tonight. Earlier, if I had to burn the midnight candle, I used to put on MCC vods from impulse or scar. Or Grians old videos. This time I’ll try using the podcast as a background! I really love the topics you guys cover, and I’ve learned a lot… just the day before, I’d listened to the “cmon man!” One (yes, I’m far behind, I’m not very regular with updates) and after it, I replaced anything at the store to their correct place, except one… I felt bad about that but I did what was feasible without having ti have left the trolley at the counter alone. But little things like that, I think it’s really important that is as the younger generations learn. They’re small and no one thinks about them unless they’ve been in the shoes of the people that are affected. So Thanks for your work You guys do a lot ❤️ And these are really, really fun, and we learn at the same time somehow So thank you, guys!

[@BlahCraft1]

I hope you two know how much being with you two (and Tango, and everyone else) meant to Gem, she talked a lot about it in her streams.

[@mistymane52]

I tried looking up gem’s twitch con video.. I couldn’t find one.. do you know how I find the video? Or if I could only watch it live?

[@BlahCraft1]

@mistymane52 On her second channel, GeminiTwo, there is a video that's the vlog, and it has a bunch of clips from her streams when she talked about it. I don't remember when exactly on the actual streams.

[@snotrajohnson]

@@mistymane52It’s on her 2nd channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGaamZWheL5_bpIsi=pTKNKWndbH5-Aqwg

[@BuzzyB11]

@@mistymane52if you’re still wondering, it’s on her second channel titled ‘my twitch con experience’ from my memory

[@bina2246]

Skizzleman's care and thoughtfulness when speaking of other is so heartwarming

[@LiaTanith]

*Sigh* I vote for the occasional rare multi hour podcast. This is cruel and unusual punishment. =P

[@Laxmi13]

My husband and I had Scar's, impulse's, and cub's streams on. It was really funny how behind the main stream and the crowd were through the whole event!

[@TT-fy6hk]

Now I wanna get hugged by Scott and Skizz! Can't wait for the rest of the story :)

[@Trauma284]

Impulse has always nailed terraswoop in tgttos

[@dasffs]

As much as I loved Gem's vlog of twitch con, I really appreciate your perspectives on this. Thanks for your insiders' perspective and your entire podcast.

[@enkays_den]

Of course Impulse likes Tool. I'm not even surprised, he's such a drummer 😊

[@NJCoffeeJunkie]

Can confirm. Skizz you are a damn good hugger. :)

[@1randomperson15]

I feel like I need to add some context for the mcc stuff. So, as they mentioned, the teams were set up in rows and most people chose seats in front of the team they supported. What this meant is that many of the hc fans (and particularly fans of impulse and prob skizz & tango too) were concentrated in that area. That's why they got like two people recognizing them before and when they went in front of impulse's team they got a giant line. Also the line for the meet & greet was done in thirds (or fourths?) and the last group included aqua's section so I would guess the final group were probably the most enthusiastic to meet impulse. And as someone who was part of that final group - thank you for keeping up that energy (or just leaving which would've been fair at that pointl

[@Zora_TheSideCharacter]

Now we need to see a competition between scott smajor and skizz on who can give better hugs lol

[@ItsJustJesterr]

That is one sick Tool shirt. 10,000 Days is fantastic. Thank you, gentlemen, for pulling back the curtain and sharing the Twitchcon experience with us!

[@ssegrub]

It's funny that you said WWE. When I was watching, my wife thought I was watching wrestling. Then you were announced she asked, "what are they doing in WWE?" I laughed so hard.

[@hannahdozier384]

It was so cute seeing skizz be so proud of impulse when he got over excited about hik doing so well on tgttos, he's just so proud of his best friend 🥹

[@mr13igh]

😂😂😂 loved this. After watching Gems Vlog it gives even more back story to what must have been an amazing weekend. Also Skizz love you left that bit in at the end 😉

[@SynchroniSydney]

Seeing mcc live really did something to me. I guess I hadn’t realized that online events and connections could turn into a real life thing, much less one that was so professional. I had such a good time watching aqua axolotls, so glad you all decided to not let ranks get you down and go for GREAT vibes instead. 🎉

[@Corvinwhite]

I was so proud when you guys walked out in star House as wheelchair is such an inspiration I also have a wheelchair I’m just a teenager and I’m disabled and he makes me feel better and has a very big inspiration to me love you guys as content keep it up

[@Vinaco1]

It was such an amazing experience to be there to eatch mcc in person and meet so many creators. I had taken a page out of Skizz's book during the meet and greet and attempted to give each person a super quick affirmation which held up the line a bit and gave me a few dirty looks from twitch staff and other fans in line I imagine. My only regret was not meeting Skizz and Tang but it was still a great time!

[@cappared]

You're right about that Stier + charisma magic. I think Technoblade had that something special 👑 🐷

[@mrmxypltk]

As long as we remember him, Technoblade Never Dies!

[@prasadbhalerao8556]

Technoblade never dies !

[@CMinorOp67]

0:55: I bet that car ride to Vegas was filled with one-liners.

[@MetalMonkey]

3:12 Vegas is "Just a 5 hour drive".......that's the difference between the US and European countries. 5 hours is a long drive to most of us

[@marstrooms]

As someone from the caribbean 5 hours is insane

[@Zellada]

To give some perspective concerning the size of states in America. To drive from the northern border of Texas to the furthest southern tip in the Gulf of Mexico... Is a 12-hour drive. The country of England would fit in the state of California alone.

[@MetalMonkey]

@@Zellada I think the whole UK would fit in California (among other states) not just England. Either Google Maps is messed up or Irelands roads are useless.... From the Northernmost Co. Donegal to the southernmost Co Cork (excluding Cape Clear Island) takes 8 hours

[@naomibuckingham4046]

Canada works the same way. While a five hour drive is considered long, to go to something like that it's not too bad.

[@Kiwimarauder]

MCC was sooo much fun to watch, I loved your guys' team vibing. TGTTOS was amazing and the last event - I laughed my head off seeing you guys huddled in the middle. Such a great time! Watched Gems vlog on it too. Cant wait for Part 2!

[@Laxmi13]

Finally here!! Been waiting all morning!

[@enkays_den]

This episode flew by in a flash! I can't wait till next week to hear about Cub's Vegas sweep 😭

[@thenarrator9204]

I'm so glad you all got to have a great time! I look forward to part 2!!!

[@Hellaia]

It was so great to hear all about your experiences and the behind the scenes!

[@ultimatewager]

Can't tell you how glad I am that you guys shared this.

[@Fuzzyyeti3954]

This is perfect timing. gonna play this while i work.

[@RxDoc2010]

So glad you guys had a good time. The mental exhaustion of dealing with that many people would have done me in early. You all sound like such a fun crowd to hang out with.

[@myrandamiller91]

Woo! Love you guys!

[@mrmelon4355]

These are so great! I love to just sit down on a Friday and listen whilst I play Minecraft!

[@annbernadette8]

Just watching one of your videos feels like a hug.

[@purplejellytotPJT]

Loved this episode and glad it was a good time at Twitchcon :D

[@niesson9456]

Impy Skiizzy, hi guys! Love your content, and also very much love and appreciate the podcast! I empathize with Impulse on how just being live makes anything stressful worse... It's so cute that Skizzy is so excited for you and everyone else... T__T Love to see how great of a friendship you guys, dissing each other, but also supporting each other --Skizz telling Tango "No, that means he did well.." -Was such an anime moment LOL like the super analytical dude watching the event in every sports, action, cooking anime xD The solidarity among you youtubers/streamers and gamers is just so... heartwarming... And while the world may think this isn't a "real job" and that gaming isn't "a real hobby" I think everyone just... got on so well... It's like, if twitch/notch had an event to get you guys volunteering, your audience, fans and the whole community would just follow and help out too. Which is just something... so miraculous the world we live in right now, that seems to go real fast, too busy, or advocates indifference and numbness as something better than sensitivity and kindness. I've never watched MCC because I feel really nervous about competition --the more official it is, the scarier it is for me. Same for PVP. But my support has been with you and everyone in spirit. The stories were so interesting and fun... There's so much love and consideration that you guys have, and the ability you two, and other adjacent youtubers/streamers that I watch, have to just... make things fun, or hilarious, interesting, or a way to bond... is something I am trying to adopt into myself to become a healthier happier person. The speed into a deathbox at death-o-clock sharp waiting for all the grim-reapers to get to you sounds so hilarious! I'm about to rewatch, coz I was listening to the podcast in the shower xD. Love you guys, and love that this immortalized here for future MCC documentarists to findxD

[@bunk57]

I love the dynamic of topics this podcast covers so much, anything from interviews to philosophy, life events or general entertainment. Thank you both sincerely for the work, insight, wisdom and joy that you guys provide. You guys make my week every time a podcast drops, I am so glad to live in a world that provides the circumstances which enable you guys to do what you do. And by extension of that, creating the loving and human community that follows. Your words and work is very appreciated by all of us, You are both such interesting and real people

[@2shabbs]

It was such a great con, wish I could've been at MCC Live but I got in late. Was great meeting you two at the Minecraft Meetup, and can't wait to hear how the rest of your con went!

[@nasiskahn]

I'm so sad I couldn't go to Twitch Con! It is was Super Cool to see it on Twitch the way they did it! You guys did Amazing! I love that JITS all got to meet each other! Yay Joker! I'm happy all the fans got to meet you and they didn't cut off the line!

[@andrewholland2763]

I have said it before, and I will say it again. I look forward to the Podcast every Friday morning. I love it.

[@Kiwimarauder]

Ive just watched an hour and I want more. Cant wait for next week. Its Friday evening, Im too exhausted to watch TV, this is all the entertainment I want and need. Love you guys, love the sign out banter right at the end. This podcast is gold.

[@peacesax]

I was so glad I was ablento watch most of MCC after work. It sounds like you guys had a great time. I can't wait for part two of the podcast. Also, discharged is the proper word for being able to leave the hospital.

[@ollieweir5913]

I have loved watching you both for a while now, but this may have been the best yet. I'm glad you focused on fun! I worry about Scar a lot, and to know how much you both care, it brought a tear. Guess it's partially a parent thing

[@naomibuckingham4046]

I love hearing these stories about how people I watch interact with others in real life, and it makes me even more certain that it would be amazing to hang out with any of the people that are there. A lot of stuff in this world is blared in your face and fake. Not these people. Can't wait to watch part two!

[@samlindauer6705]

Great podcast guys! Also, Skizz, I liked the little cub impression. So typical: 'thank you, thank you.'

[@lfcps7945]

Love the podcast and you guys ❤

Tool is my fav band!!! going to see them in a few days.

[@laineywright2696]

I loved this video. Imp aka the Screamer and Skizz aka the Hug Man great job guys.

[@qocket]

Waiting for part 2 was the longest week of last year.

[@SenSamaShoran]

You know, as much respect as you have for Scar, I do for you skizz. People don't need to have a tragic background (Don't get me wrong, I love Scar to bits), to be inspiring and motivating. You inspire me. I just can't describe how much I appreciate the way you think and especially the way you put your thoughts into words.

[@purplejellytotPJT]

Oh man I can't wait for part 2!!

[@purplejellytotPJT]

Also loool that last bit about the wink 😂 glad you guys kept that very end bit in, skizz's laugh always makes my day

[@friendlyplayer7]

This was so cool to watch after watching Impulse in Twitch Rivals MCC!!

[@xadmarblackoak6140]

Great video guys. Fun to hear if the experience. Would be interesting if they could put a monitor behind the MCC monitor facing the crowd with a camera on the player.

[@lisaholland1962]

You really going to make us wait a week to hear the rest??!!? Dying for the "rest of the story". Love it!

[@2015id]

This was fun to watch :)

[@LBanogon]

Aaaa the cut 🥹 i hate but love both of you because of that!! The scot hug was very funny skizz. Hopefully I could hug you someday!

[@felizzz976]

32:44 this is my favorite part in the game and when impulse place first place in that Electra course❤. Had a great laugh 😂 thanks you

[@arengierng552]

Hello imp and skizz i love listening your podcasts on my way to work every day it helps me to move on especially the podcast about hard work was big push for me to still keep going and try to find job i would actually enjoy and not look only on the money... rn i really struggle with depression and anxiety, i would love to hear podcast about dealing with normal life with depression and burnout especially if u guys have inside about broken heart and moving on. If there is already one with this topic im sorry i had to miss somehow that one. :)

[@cherrypie_84]

Oh the cliff hanger..... You guys!!!!

[@karimcconkey1192]

It's amazing to see the change in Impulse's experience at MCC because previous podcasts show how scoring high used to bother you and this one was only about having fun and the difference in your tone of voice talking about this MCC versus previous ones is night and day and I love to see it 💜

[@ozelhassan8576]

I Love you Guys, You’re Awesome

[@grutarg2938]

I hope part 2 includes more about meeting Gem. Impulse and Gem have played together so much this season, it must have been wild to meet in person.

[@hannahdozier384]

Also knowing impulse sometimes struggles with insecurity or imposter syndrome, it was so great to see him being proud of himself and his team

[@ChosenBC]

@MCSkizzleman @ImpulseSV As someone with a similar age, and as the last person in the line to see you all (Hermits), I appreciated you all. You were all very patient as well, and you really did give all of the energy you had you meet all of us. Thank you! Of course seeing you all the next day to finally meet and greet Skizz and Tango was also a blessing. Thanks for the memories! btw, there was a almost 10 second delay in the Convention Center vs your (Impulse's) stream. I ended up watching your stream vs the live feed in the center.

[@llammaindabahamasdrew405]

Love the T-Shirt Impulse. \m/

[@xxibjrosek]

The fact thay y'all and Tango know each other IRL, blows my mind. I am new to the Minecraft/Hermitcraft community, so I'm still learning about all the connections y'all have.

[@JamesOfEarth]
