“the life series is a couple tech dudes hanging out with a bunch of theater kids” i had to pause the video to cackle at this cause it’s SO TRUE

[@shaunacall4685]

Yes! But that what makes theater WORK, you have to have both!

[@NickGreyden]

God that got me. I had to pause it too cause I couldn't hear over my own laughter. Very on point.

[@pinnvfx]

I need the time stamp

[@pinnvfx]

@@NickGreyden what’s the timestamp?

[@arkachallo5628]

Me too. I laughed so hard my side hurt 😆

[@marieleelee]

Even if Tango never offically released a game with a gaming company, I think the games he has made on Minecraft have 100% left a mark on the community and with his name and brand on it. I think it would have been way different if he'd released a game with a company since so many devs often go unnoticed or unthanked. Tango is a great content creator and game creator, what a talent!

[@SnowshoeProductions]

Agreed. Decked Out has inspired a family member of mine to make a gaming district in one of our worlds. Every time we watch Tangos videos my family member gets inspired to keep working on his own projects in the gaming district.

[@timgilbert460]

I would totally buy his game just because of what I've seen him do already.

[@gageloard415]

For sure I still think about the multuple iterations of the Tangler that he used to make.

[@NedJeffery]

You know that's a very interesting idea. Gaming companies should look at bringing in design consultants with a little bit of star power. Kinda like what Hideo Kojima does for a game. There's room for indi or mid teir game companies doing the same thing.

[@cannotfigureoutaname]

I think they released some games from what he said, but he wasn't happy with them as the development always took a bad turn .

[@Laxmi13]

Me, "The Tango episode!" My husband, "that's not Tango. He's got the wrong cup in his hand." 🤣

[@SolitaryGrave143]

Hahaha!

[@enderkakker6999]

😂

[@Rivi_Styx]

The ultimate podcast goal? To have every hermit in person. ( Even if X and Ethos were behind a curtain, I'd take it). That would be amazing!

[@nelsonbrum8496]

X was a "head" at Minecon, why not have X and Etho as "heads" sitting in the chair, it's 2023, we have the technology!

[@SolitaryGrave143]

Maybe other members of the Life series as well. The ones who aren't hermits like Joel, Scott, Martyn ect.

[@dee2007]

X and Etho could just be audio like a call in show

[@shaunaisazombie]

Get X and Etho some Vtuber models. 😂

[@grayire]

​@@SolitaryGrave143 Joel and lizzie together would be amazing

[@tammy_bee1732]

Tech dudes and theater kids! That was perfect. I can’t imagine how great Skizz and Martyn would be if they were just let loose.

[@Hufflepuff_cookie]

Haha! As a theatre kid hanging out with my tech friends, this made me laugh.

[@SenorEscaso]

Skizz is a natural host. He really knows the questions to ask to get conversations going.

[@NedJeffery]

It's a skill very few people have. You have to be constantly thinking about what is coming next, while also paying attention to the conversation so you can anticipate the dead air and jump in to keep things moving.

[@aserta]

He's a good actor, he knows to listen and interject. Actors have to know the natural flow. I truly believe he'd make an amazing classical actor.

[@catherineliu06]

Every time I hear Tango talk about stuff I think he's so charismatic. He's got just the right mix of silly and serious

[@flapadapacouscous]

Perfectly put 👏

[@fhtraveler]

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous...

[@justinm3476]

Tango is very humble and far from self absorbed. I believe he is the funniest hermit. Saying alot there, the bar is very high on hermitcraft.

[@sandiz83]

Bdubs would be a great guest on your show! would like him to be more integrated with your group.

[@undead890]

Heck yeah! Get the Boomers together!

[@darthraiden8740]

Bdubs is hilarious, I would love this.

[@ajbeew2257]

Totally!!

[@ThatGingercosplayer]

He’ll need a booster seat

[@catmus1506]

100% Bdubs on this podcast would be absolutely legendary.

[@potato_opinion]

First impressions... Sad that Tango wasn't sitting on Skizz's lap due to lack of space. Thank you for another podcast!

[@flapadapacouscous]

The success of the Life series for me is the balance of tech dudes and theatre kids. Impulse, Tango and Etho all ground the crazier shenanigans because they witness it like we do as the audience but they get to respond or just enjoy it how most of us would. We're not all witty either so it's relatable to be sometimes bemused at some the theatrical antics. This was discussed better on the always sunny pod with their discussion of having a side character play it straight to juxtapose the nonsense of the main characters.

[@metalnut92]

Yeah, it's kinda hard to hear Tango and Impulse say that they don't feel as 'natural' as Grian or Scar - because as much as I love Grian and Scar, those guys can be loud and talkative, and the 'Life' series absolutely would not work if everyone on the server was constantly competing to suck all the air out of the room. I think Grian gets that and has been very smart about the mix of people he's invited.

[@iammeandthatshowiam]

I gotta say, Impulse, even if you didn’t feel very comfortable when you were grouped with the Southerners, you created some of my favorite moments in that series (and this is coming from someone who mainly watched Grian’s perspective back then). When you walked in on Mumbo complimenting Grian’s back and said something like “uhhh, that was a weird thing to walk into” I died of laughter, and when you hunted down the last wither skull for Grian, I was on the edge of my seat. It may not “come naturally” to you, but your content is amazing.

[@RaysWorks]

So cool to hear Tango's thought process!

[@Frostshokula]

My dude

[@ArtWithMazzyKidsShow]

RAY❤

[@ArtWithMazzyKidsShow]

Im the 100th like on rays comment

[@myrandamiller91]

Tango is my favorite KZbinr/Streamer because he really doesn't notice his own natural charisma, and it's great. He has everything that the bigger Hermits do, but he doesn't utilize it because he doesn't recognize it in himself. He's just naturally hilarious. Impulse is my very close second favorite for some of the same reasons, but also because he throws 110% into everything he does and it's a LOT! Skizz is absolutely comfortable in his own skin and definitely the most outward about his personality, and I love that about him. You put all three of these guys in the same room (literally or virtually) and magic happens. It's a perfect combination of hilarity and quick wit that I just absolutely love.

[@SolitaryGrave143]

Taking the words right out of my mouth

[@christela.4252]

Those 3 are dynamite together, I love everything they do.

[@justinm3476]

Definitely the dream team.

[@lulubaumgartner2077]

Agree! They all 3 derserve the best!

[@TheBookOfLife7]

Skizz doesn’t give himself enough credit. He’s so humble. The moment you start praising his talent, it gets uncomfortable for him and he wants to move the conversation off himself. He is truly awesome!

[@Recabilly]

Honestly I think it's uncomfortable for him because he is friends with so many people who do this for a living but he hasn't quite reached that point himself. It seems like he doubts he can actually do it. I think he can, he just needs to find something to make himself stand out. He's more than capable. I just hope he doesn't feel stuck in the shadow of his peers. He's a wonderful guy and great entertainer. ❤

[@twizack22]

@@Recabilly Skizz totally has that voice and character that just draws you in. I think it's what give balance to this podcast. It truly is something that you either have it or you don't. He totally has IT.

[@noatmealcookie02]

I think all of them are but only Skizz can just say 'NOPE moving on--' lol

[@piorfino]

I'm gonna need an episode with Scar. If I have to start the GoFundMe so help me I will. And here's my weekly petition for Mrs. Tango to be a guest on the show as well.

[@teenieesperanto2]

Definitely wish Scar could do it in person. Even if Impulse and Skizz had to go to him. Who wouldn't want to leave the desert to get rained on every day?

[@KristenABales]

@@teenieesperanto2 The truth of the rain comment made me spit my tea. As a fellow Oregonian, living on the coast, I feel Scar's pain every time he mentions the endless rain. It would be so fun to see the two of them come to him, and get a taste of the Pacific Northwest. But, I feel like it may be more of a remote podcast episode for Scar, either way, getting him on would be amazing!

[@RedisFun2]

Where's that fund link!! This needs to happen! Oh and MrsT.... Her laugh alone is worth gold!!

[@Hufflepuff_cookie]

​@@KristenABales haha same, but I'm in BC, mostly as SW you can get in the coast

[@jonmayer]

Very much so, yes. I would say travel out to him to make it easier on his parents.

[@that1fangrl]

1:09:50 hearing Skizz talk about Martyn's freeze frames and then seeing Impulse use the same concept in his latest vid, I can see the inspiration! It worked out so well for Impulse, I'm so glad the technique got mentioned here. "THEIR BACKS ARE _TURNED_!!" was so funny Impulse's dramatic editing in general this season has been insanely good, adds such a nice flavor to the episodes. I also just like when silly minecraft videos get super intense editing, I think it's hilarious!

[@roze706]

1:04:20, Impulse you still had the BEST aha bit, the one that Martyn left in his video. Makes me giggle to this day when I think about it.

[@Ry67570]

do u remeber what his AHA was?

[@MissGVS]

I'll be honest I can't understand a word of the Redstone skadoodle language Tango speaks but his humor, personality, and genuine joy keep me coming back for more. Cheers Tango ☕️

[@RedisFun2]

Skadoodle, crunchificate, dumb w/extra dumb sauce.... These are very technical terms! Like doohickey, thingamajig we old tech ppl use to use! Hehehe

[@justinm3476]

Genuine joy. Very accurate. I've always thought you can hear the joy in tangos videos.

[@ArtWithMazzyKidsShow]

I understand nothing. My brain goes insane.

[@milliesmith4865]

the way tango talks about mrs t is so incredibly heart warming 💓

[@smash_bro_757]

4:20 this cracked me up so much "I just figured out how to do clank" 😂

[@EvesterBee]

Something I found interesting is how you spoke about people like Mumbo and Grian just being a natural. I’d be really interested in a conversation with them about that, as I don’t know how true that would feel to them? They’ve both spoken about struggling with either content or anxiety, so it would be interesting to hear what they attribute to being so successful Brilliant and interesting episode!

[@qocket]

Coming back to this one, I need to appreciate how rare it was to see tango out of his dungeon.

[@bensonjarvis5025]

The Dungeon Master graced us with his presence

[@junoantaresofficial]

Phasmo dev: yay, people playing my game! Tango: this game needs load outs 🙄🙄 Phasmo dev: Write that down! WRITE THAT DOWN!

[@derrickstorm6976]

Whats a load out?

[@tristamussetter3015]

Lol funny

[@KathyClysm]

I think a really great guest to have for a lot of these conversations would be Beef or Bdubs - who were part of this big community in Mindcrack that essentially ended, yet life goes on and things change. I'm sure they'd have a lot of stories and insights about what it means to adapt to the changing times, algorythms, etc.

[@deborahsheets2604]

“What is this foreign thing!?” Referring to a pen and paper has me cracking up but it is SO accurate 😂

[@KristenABales]

The just deciding this is your job, is kind of like starting your own small business. I one day decided to start a sticker business, and it snow balled into me making pet portraits, and now I support my family financially making stickers of peoples pets. I get so many eye rolls, laughs, and disbelief from every day people when I talk about it. But you as content creators and other small business owners like me, need to be proud of how far we've come. It isn't easy, and takes dedication to keep going.

[@StarNanny]

word. amen. totally. truth. whichever affirmation works. yes.

[@emeraldrain9403]

That's awesome! I love when people find something super cool, they fall in love with and good a good job at to the point they can support their lives with. Love the life you live! 💚

[@morosis82]

You found your niche. I think that's where a lot of people fail thinking they need to go too broad. Focus on what you do well and execute. Good on ya!

[@KristenABales]

@@emeraldrain9403 awe! Thank you!! It's been a tough journey with many fails but lots of wins. You have to just keep going.

[@KristenABales]

@@morosis82 very true! Finding you niche is super important! Once you've found it, then you have to figure out how to keep making things for them. 😊

[@kristenaluckinbill]

The resume conversation was so interesting to me. You talked about the resume gaps like they are a unique and new occurrence. I speak from experience as an accountant who decided to stay home and raise my children, I have not "worked" for 8 years. When I reenter the workforce, I will have a 16 year gap and will be 42 years old. That is terrifying.

[@spinthepickle1244]

Yup, definitely a part of many, many women's lives.

[@martijn9568]

That kinda surprises me. Where I'm living, many people start working part-time and / or get their kids into daycare. It still happens that mothers quit their jobs a few years when having children, but much less so and a lot shorter 6 than when I was young in the early 2000s. I guess it's something heavily dependent on culture.

[@galateah1]

Personal favourite quote: "I can't go back to programming, I don't know anything anymore." I totally feel that.

[@cameronswanepoel9462]

I'm 20 and when Skizz said go easy on yourself it hit deep.sometimes we put ourselves under constant pressure because we know what we should be able to do,but we let the idea of that get ahead of actually doing it, enjoying it and appreciating the progress

[@twizack22]

That's pretty cool you are able to recognize that within yourself. I hope you have given yourself the permission needed just do it! I wish you a great journey!

[@liamengram6326]

Everyone is their own harshest critic. You see yourself in the mirror every day. You know every thought you have and every action you take. You know the worst of yourself, but never recognize the best of yourself. Whatever your self-image is, imagine that most of the people you meet will see you as 10x that person or more. I've led an incredibly successful life yet most of my closest friends who I have known for 30+ years are the only ones who could tell you how full of self-doubt and self-hate I am. I've called them absolutely beside myself in tears because I didn't think I was worthy of speaking at some national convention in my industry. I've written them lengthy messages about how I don't deserve their honest friendship because I myself have been a bad friend to them. I've sent them and their families on all expenses paid vacations for their birthdays because I felt like I didn't make their Christmas gift thoughtful enough. And yet every time I talk to them about how I feel that I am of no value, offer little to the lives of our friend group, behave way too selfishly, and as a whole don't deserve anything I have - they set me straight and remind me that I am worth something well beyond my money and that I DO deserve to be in the position I am in. Many times they remind me that if they were in my position they don't think they would do the kinds of things I do and that of our friend group that grew up together since we were 3-5 years old they are glad I was the one who ended up being wildly successful because they don't know that they would provide for everyone the way I have and make sure that everyone and their family is comfortable. It's all perspective at the end of the day. I see myself as a piece of shit that got lucky. They see me as a person they're lucky to know.

[@sarahchiste7654]

Tango’s genuine reactions in limited life are my favourite part of the series! I couldn’t stop laughing when he realized the tower was crooked

[@bondsmatthew]

". . .AND PUT IT ON FILM!" From everyone here we would enjoy this. "That's not gonna happen" dang

[@friendlyplayer7]

I love how relaxed and close the three of them look just hanging out in the same place. Clearly they are all great friends, and it’s so nice to see!

[@jc81s]

I actually am the office manager for a pest control company in Phoenix. As an older guy it really is weird to tell people that I enjoy playing Minecraft. It’s seen as a kids game and people don’t see the depth and technical skills that people have in this game. All in all love your guys content and it’s awesome to see how chill you all are.

[@morosis82]

40yo software tech lead for a billion dollar company. Love playing with my kids.

[@meganblankenship2409]

I just want to make sure that Tango and Impulse know that introverted people can command attention too! Because they're absolutely worth listening to. Everyone has their strengths and should be loved and admired for them. I loved this podcast. Good work gentlemen.

[@silentstephi]

Also, woooo! Tango being a New England transplant! 🎉

[@disturbed_puppy]

I totally understand the whole sensory aspect of writing. I've actually started trying to write just for the feeling of it. Even started trying to take my time with it and make my handwriting look nice.

[@SolitaryGrave143]

Same. I am legally blind and I write very slowly. But it's so calming to just sit down with a pencil and paper and relax. In case you don't know, legally blind means I have some vision, but not a lot.

[@KingArthurDent]

@@SolitaryGrave143 Would be bad if it suddenly was illegal to be blind. Suddenly you'd have blind gangs sticking together against the police, leading to blind violence... it'd be a mess, and they wouldn't even be there to see it.

[@SolitaryGrave143]

@@KingArthurDent This comment honestly made my day 🤣

[@KingArthurDent]

@@SolitaryGrave143 I'm glad :D While blindness is no laughing matter, if we humans can't have a little fun with our misery things would be even worse.

[@IcestarRiver]

Just wanted to say that Impulse and Tango's POVs are always my favorite in the Life series, and the ones I watch first. Something doesn't need to be overblown, or intense, or super fancy to be interesting; I like your how POVs skew more to just, yourselves in the world. Sure, it's fun when people are causing chaos everywhere, and those people do end up becoming the 'main characters' in the fanbase, because they're part of a dramatic story, but personally, I really love examining the quieter characters; the dedication to one's team, the fun, genuine games (everyone feared that You Bet Your Life would be a scam for Tango to steal lives, but at least to me, it was obvious that it was just what Tango seems to like; an honest game for everyone to have fun playing), the storylines that play out (Impulse is always, always very dedicated to his team; you stayed with the Crastle, the Southlands, Bdubs, until the end, and always did your utmost to make sure everyone could do what they wanted, whether it's set a trap, summon the Wither, have a clock, etc); I absolutely love your POVs, and find them most enjoyable, because I'm /not/ having to always worry about "oh, they're going to go attack/threaten someone for no reason because they think it's funny and dramatic, right?" And I appreciate that. Of course I know that not everyone has the same perspective; there's a reason that Ren and Martyn, and Grian and Scar, are such prominent figures in fanwork. But I wanted to say that your POVs are not ignored. They are not boring, and I love how your own style and flavor of playing Minecraft and being with others factors into how you engage with the Life series. Thank you.

[@LessaIsLief]

Honestly, you guys are entertaining because you don't aim to entertain firstly. Like Tango sort of said: by getting comfortable being you on screen something happens that makes your content entertaining on top of being informative, inspiring, competitive, ambitious, creative or whatever else. It really is a gift you guys have and it is what makes you successful at what you're doing. I really hope you guys will continue to flourish the way you have. I really enjoy seeing what you come up with over and over. It's always fun and fresh and inspiring. (And it makes me not see Minecraft as a guilty pleasure but as something that creates sunshine in my life :)

[@QuibieGG]

Tango & Impulse being "tech dudes hanging out with the theater kids." Yeah. I can relate. Thank you for all you do. (You, too, Skizz.)

[@StarNanny]

😂 Sizz IS drama people! ❤

[@kaylasolomon9578]

1:00:00 impulse saying that he and tango are kind of just “also there” is almost a little funny to me bc they’re genuinely my favorite povs to watch in life series

[@tamira1060]

I usually listen on spotify on the way to uni, but for this one I figured I just *had* to watch. You guys being so comfortable around eachother is super relaxing to see and Tango seems like the perfect first guest. While doing a bachelor in product design right now, Tango's eye for game mechanics has introduced me to game design to the point where it will be my minor next year. The three of you always make me laugh, thank you so much.

[@notchpoodles5864]

These guys have no idea how relatable they are to people with ADHD. I️ know it’s a coincidence but they still might have some tips for us.

[@JG.Fierstar]

Yes, definitely.

[@k0ffein0verd0s]

Tango needs to make a game. He can create content from developing it. Get on it man!

[@grayire]

I would love to see him colab with Iskall to make a decked out type vault for vault hunters

[@leovaldez6280]

He kinda made a devlog while developing mods for minecraft. Tektopia was an awesome mod that overshadows the village and pillage update

[@fortunefable2717]

Just want to say a big heart felt thank you to imp and skizz for sticking with this podcast venture. The respect for you is un-measurable. Also tango is the best sport and I would love to see him as a full time member. Keep it up .

You 3 deserve the world. I was all smiles through this entire podcast.

[@Melanie_M]

What goes on a resume as content creator? So many more things than anyone in a corporate job would be able to put on their CV for just doing their own job. You guys through your youtube careers have experience for years as: - Media producers - Entrepreneurs - Video editors - Graphic designers - Producers - Social media managers - Sound designers - Content Creators - Creative talent - Community managers - Sales managers - CEOs - and many other things

[@KingArthurDent]

Yeah, it's genuinely a crazy amount of work. Of course, they're probably not as good at editing videos as a professional editor doing lots of different kinds of projects, but still, it's not like they wouldn't have a massive advantage if they ever wanted to pursue that in particular. Same goes for the other things you mentioned, they can't specialize fully right now but it does mean they have so much experience in a lot of fields.

[@silentstephi]

"The tech nerds hanging with the theater kids." This is why I love hermitcraft/the life series - nostalgia xD (says the former choir nerd)

[@stickyboy8533]

The pest control guy 🤣

[@GussyToYou]

Skizz: Ok its just Jimmy, I'll never forget. Skizz: So anyway Timmy -

[@LtKernelPanic]

Wow that was a fast 75 minutes! I've had the chance to meet Impy, Tango (and Mrs. T who was a hoot!), Sizz and Zed at the TitanCraft meetup back in 2018 and Guude, Bdubs, Paul Soares Jr., and Coestar at Minecon in Las Vegas and one thing that really struck me is how humble and nice they all were. During Minecon Mindcrack was *huge* and they stood around with fans talking for as long as they could. Same with the ZITS crew at the TC meetup. I'm glad they've stayed humble and keep producing awesome content.

[@junoantaresofficial]

1:03:30 You can see Skizz scheming how to use what tango is saying "I feel like I am just here to point a camera at you in in a good way, I want to see what you're doing and saying." His eyes just get so far away and he's just quiet for that split moment that you can see he is scheming how to use that to get tango looped into a scene more. Now he knows that Tango watches him so much Skizz knows he can draw Tango in more. And Impulse too, it's going to be fun to see that happen in real time because Skizz is darn good at what he does not just improv, but intentional improv where he knows what he is going to do, he just doesn't know how until the moment happens.

[@Darlypants]

Skizz has a super expressive voice, and in-game he can deliver a line like "that's my pork chop" in a way that's just.. funny. Or "I was killed by JERKS" with a dramatic head movement. Y'all know what I'm taking about. He's bossy too. Not bossy.. boss-ish. He's got "I have a number of direct reports" boss energy. He often takes command of a conversation. Delegates tasks. And boy does he start a lot of meetings. And it's all tied together with a "this is how it is, and I'm not expecting any debate" bow. You know? "My philosophy is the only philosophy. You will cherish every moment of your life, even if you have to come in on the weekend to get it done."

[@angry4rtichoke646]

I love how genuine and thankful Tango is while streaming, makes time for both stream and talking to co-streamers, it’s really great :)

[@pencils7351]

I know this isn't the first time Skizz has talked about his handwriting, but every time i think of my mom's handwriting bc they actually taught her that in college when she was studying to be an architectural engineer. My mom has different handwriting styles, and the all caps is one of them. I've never had the patience to adjust my handwriting much beyond elementary school, besides my edited cursive i came up with to get a decent signature that felt natural

[@learning2bfrugal]

I really love how you all complement each other in very specific ways, showing you genuinely feel that way.

[@HeatherKraafter]

as a former content creator, I totally resonated with the concerns regarding "what do you put on your resume?" HOWEVER! I will say this...the most absurd thing happened to me a month ago. I applied for a job, it was random - I thought I would take a shot at it - I did not get that job, but because I DID put my content creation background on my resume, I was offered a totally different job that the owner CREATED for me to utilize my skills. It has been an awesome job!!!!! BTW - I love the podcast. Listening, rarely commenting. Thank you for uploading.

[@emilybarner3440]

Oh my goodness. Tango. As someone who was diagnosed in the last year with previously undiagnosed adult ADHD, a lot of the life experience you're describing really resonates with my own. The suite of experiences you're describing -- struggling to disengage and relax and watch TV, having lots of creative ideas, deeply analytical and aware of complex structures, even having 'bad' handwriting -- are quite emblematic of the ADHD experience, and it may be something to ask your doctor about. Starting to grapple with it was scary, but actually getting that diagnosis was really empowering, and helped me identify new tools to add to my arsenal. I'm not a medical professional, but it might be something to turn your mind to, assuming you haven't already. :) ANYWAYS, I paused the podcast to type all that out, so while I'm here I'll add that I am really enjoying it!! It is the second of the Imp and Skizz podcast that I've ever consumed, and the pace of this episode has been fast-paced and dense enough that I've had to pause it a few times to let my mind chew into a thought or concept before starting it again, which I consider a very high and positive compliment. I started watching/listening to the series the other day because of recognizing Skizz from Empires S1, but getting to know everyone showcased so far has been really nice! :) Take care, and thank you for making this episode and sharing it!

[@birdiegirl5493]

we get it Tango, Imp, and Skizz, and I'm your age (actually older....by a lot) and I get what you do. but yes, it does indeed take a certain breed (gamer) to know what ya'll do for a living. for myself, I am thankful that ya'll do what you do. it is a major portion of my entertainment. My family is like, do you watch TV, news?? i'm like, nope i watch minecraft videos for my entertainment. so keep up the good works all of you!

[@Sami-wu1ng]

Me to !

[@7BlackMamba7]

Tango is so easy to listen to. He's so charismatic and engaging. Certainly meant to be a content creator

[@deganjeffery1640]

I like how chillaxed, comfortable and in control Skizz presents himself. It really makes the podcast run so smoothly.

[@taytaythehufflepuff8532]

I'm just so so happy to see this!!! Finally!!! He's ON THE SHOW!!! You three have like, the best dynamic, seriously. The life series has been a spectacular showcase of that. And may I be the first to say that Tango is like the most relatable human being. ever. As a creative myself I find new sparkly ideas (as I call them) to be infuriating --- I just want to finish ONE project PLEASE instead of get sidetracked on a sidequest of mini projects. I'm incredibly excited to see that this is a multi-part episode, but I'm not sure if I can wait a whole week. And if this doesn't prove that you need to get all your minecraft-buddies on for the show, I don't know what does.

I'm so excited there's a Part 2!

[@austinpatrick2682]

Me too!!

[@wildsymposiums]

Can I just say how wonderful it is to hear you guys talking about how it took you all some time to find your passion and get into content creation, and make a career out of it? I'm turning 30 this year and I've only just gone back to school to learn programing formally. It's something I've absolutely found a passion for, but I've kept feeling so late to the game, as if I should have known this coming out of high school and gone straight into uni for a bachelors in IT. That you guys are doing something I admire and find inspiring, that you're making a comfortable living out of it, and you're saying it's something you had to find your way into rather than hitting it right in your early 20s? It makes me feel a lot more confident in myself and my ability to succeed, so thank you for that.

1:01:48 my favorite way I’ve seen creators address this is by adding subtitles above the persons head. It immediately draws my attention to it as it isn’t normal when they do it haha

[@miladylaughalot]

I saw this on my podcast audio, but I wanted to see it on video because I love the trio of the SIT Gang!!

[@Onelostcrow]

Talking about people who are absolutely hilarious without trying is something i know all of my friends need to realize "oh I'm not funny" girl you're the funniest person here I'm only funny because you set me up perfectly because my humour relies on others. You're independently funny.

[@taytaythehufflepuff8532]

Honestly, everyone has an amazing sense of humor in their own regard. Mine is to reference stupid memes/vines like "Weedeater" (a veggietales "why did the chicken cross the road" joke) and the duck song, the best piece of animation, music video, and storytelling to exist. But like, that's okay. And I love referencing stuff, niche or not.

[@benfoshee1899]

I am a professional ttrpg gm and I resonate heavily with the "so what do you do for work" question, because people just think that things that can be considered hobbies can't be work, and they just don't understand the level of attention and energy thats needed to be put into something to allow others who do watch or play as a hobby be able to have a super great experience.

[@mignonhagemeijer3726]

The talk about hocky is so recognisable. I started rock climbing last year. It also has a high barrier of entry because of the gear, but also the classes you need. But it is so good for both my physical and mental health it really is great

[@Kiwimarauder]

Okay, first of - Tango being there with you is great! Cant wait for Part 2! Secondly, what he said about the quality of the podcast I totally agree with, though I really hope you're also happy with it at each stage its at, because you put 130% into everything and I dont want you to burn out. This needs to continue

[@79awinkler]

I hate that KZbin doesn’t ad this to my notifications even though I have all notifications on for this channel.

[@Frostshokula]

28:31 Impulse turns red soooo fast 😂

[@beachybird1251]

I like Tango and Impulse's approach towards Limited Life. Each episode needs some type of goal to advance the story. Glad Impulse was okay with something dumb happening. A few more dumb things couldn't hurt. The more maniacal, the better.😊

[@bandnerdmama7896]

OMG it took me 21 minutes to realize that you guys are in the same general location that I live in. New goal unlocked: Meet Tango, Imp and Skizz...

[@Raymond_Girini]

As a guy who doesn't know how to write a single line of code I can relate to a game developer hearing tango criticize their game I've worked construction jobs my whole life and I have been the guy who did to work and then the homeowner criticize the work

[@justcallmeness]

The difference is that Tango was a game dev as well. That homeowner probably never touched a sheet of drywall in their lives.

[@aetherseeker3624]

Love that Tango's in the house! Been waiting for this since they started the podcast.

[@teenieesperanto2]

It's annoying how as we get older the humility and self doubt really gets us when it comes to career changes. When we're young we're like we can do Anything. I'm fairly certain if we just re-adopt the learning mindset that we could transition perfectly fine especially with a big picture boss/leader.

[@Annabrownmedia_]

27:31 I am currently in college for Journalism and actually this ENTIRE semester is about content creation and social media history and how to get a job in that space. It's a super big space, with tons of options for income, topics, and lifestyles. I am both concerned and excited for the future of the media business.

[@kaisen2684]

The whole thing about what advice you would give your 18 year old self really made me think. And I think my advice would be "You're allowed to say No." It's something that I only recently started to learn, and learn to do. Wish I would have been able to/known this before. Edited for spelling.

[@d3v1lman]

Dude, the Decked Out 2 Frost Castle (I am sorry I don't remember the name) is the COOLEST build I have ever seen! The amount of preparation and time to just build is crazy! Tango is the first Hermit that I found and I loved his ability to build huge crazy things and explain what he was doing. Then I loved his interactions with Impulse and started watching his videos. Skizz is a new Hermit that my first interaction with him has been the current season of Limited Life and he getting killed multiple times in the first episode! He's hilarious and a ton of fun to watch! Thanks to all three of you!

[@sleepypercy]

“To shoot arrows with” was genuinely so funny I had to rewind and rewatch that part of the video like three or four times as I watched it 😂 You guys (all three of you!!) dont give yourselves enough credit. You three are so funny and I and so many others enjoy watching your videos for YOU!! Keep doing what you’re doing 💜 (also Skizz for hermitcraft s10 pls 🥺)

[@TimHoppen]

So, I'm a senior developer and now a manager, and I don't think I actually do work these days. I forward emails and do code reviews and other such things. On multiple occasions, I have done so on the couch with just my phone. It's a weird way to make a living.

[@ankhayratv]

26:25 I think most people watching at least understand you do something we like to watch. Some may even have made a video or streamed once upon a time, and may understand the creation part of it.

[@GeekofManyTopics]

Joe was talking about his trip to the UK on stream yesterday and got asked what he did for a living at a comedy club and I can't imagine the amount of embarrassment about that being laid out to people who don't understand

[@ankhayratv]

31:45 Antje is a first name in Dutch speaking regions. You know how to say "ant" then add the "y" from "Kanye" and then the last "e" in "recorder".

[@adababs]

55:15 Impulse LITERALLY described my college roommate playing WoW… only it was our college dorm, not her parents basement. Pizza boxes and (code red) Mountain Dew cans included. 😂

[@scruffybearpaws]

I've been hyped for this since the idea of Tango coming on was first thrown out, and it was everything I wanted and more. Having all 3 of you together was just wonderful and so so entertaining. Very excited for part 2!!

[@nelsonbrum8496]

I love the dynamic you three have together! I started watching Impulse and Tango back in season 4, and between S4 episodes I went back to watch S3 episodes. I still have my D.E.R.P. t-shirt (and ALL the giggles associated therewith), the first MC related merch I bought. I really want to see Skizz become part of Hermitcraft in S10. I love the shenanigans on all the "Life" SMP episodes, and HC can only benefit from a liberal dousing of a libation named Skizz. Now, onto binging the current Limited Life content while I "watch" my CNC machine make chips...

[@slumericanslickrickybobby8487]

Taaaango. Great content fellas. You guys are a great example of friendship.

[@nintendosuperFreak-gv7sw]

this is....inspirational, clear cut. im a university student second year, currently i have 2 games on the go both im trying my best to get them to be noticed and awarded at the end of the year AND at insomnia. Understanding tangos choices and reflecting (even though he took a programming path and i am on a art one) ive woken up in my room after going to bed at like 3am and up for a 7h day of class its like.....what am i doing here....why. i wanted to be a chef before i learnt this was a thing. would i ever give it up, nope, i love it. i love the stress and the feeling of relief when you hit that deadline and the feeling of determination when you miss one. the biggest inspiration for me in this is learning that getting something to show by 20s - 30s is a thing you might want. and being in uni i have that now, i have a portfolio of....stuff..XD things that prove me to myself. i dont know, but hearing this and me being me i just had this moment of reflection and understanding of myself and it was just, a moment, where i was like. this is it. regardless of mistakes ive made im here and even though im not the best by far with my companions, i have a sense of belonging in my career. i know this is cheesy but if tango dose see this, thanks

[@StarNanny]

Personally, I think the world would be a cold, sad place without cheese.😉 Its, at least, honest. Being comfortable with honesty needs to be a good thing.

[@Judymoe]

I would, without question, Kickstart/whatever a Tango game. I am chomping at the bit, waiting for Decked Out II.

[@aserta]

30:33 CHALLENGE: each Hermit has to swap with another Hermit to edit their videos from raw footage whilst trying to make it as close to OG as possible. The fans and Hermits will then vote on the videos to elect the one that scored the best and closest rendition. Not only would this be a great challenge on a personal level, testing the Hermit's skills, but it's also a funny one, cause for sure some personal glam will leak into another Hermit's video. Imagine Bdubs with Etho's editing. :)

[@MoonyFBM]

Mumbo did smth like that in a hermitcraft ep actually

[@RebeccaDresen]

Three very handsome guys and good conversations what's not to love 😂. Also the first question... you all are literally describing ADHD...

[@c0niferal]

I thought exactly the same, it's difficult seeing people who'd benefit so much from knowing but not being able to let them know 😅

[@ej558]

I’m sure they all know… Impulse even jokes in the beginning “sometimes we have to self medicate “ I believe he was referring to ADHD and possibly anxiety

[@mot1215]

This is so good, you guys! Thank you for another wonderful episode!

[@ryah7501]

Hey! I just wanted to say that I love watching your povs for the life series! As an active member of the fandom, you have no idea how well you are feeding us, even if you think you only provide crumbs. Keep up the great work

[@taytaythehufflepuff8532]

Yeah, every detail and person matters. And us fanartist... and fanwriters... take literally all the bread crumbs we can get.

[@riuphane]

Good Lord I needed this so bad, this was great! It's him enough when you guys shoot the breeze in game, but watching and listening to you guys doing it like this was next level and I need more of this

[@Hashtag__Taco]

Another awesome episode guys! Super cool to have Tango on with you. I really loved the Limited Life recap! Cant wait until part 2!

[@twobats]

can't wait for part 2! love listening to you guys talk, i almost forget I'm listening to a podcast!

[@ElleKT]

Loved this so much! I can't wait for the second part.

[@x0Kirby]

This was so amazing. I was so excited for it too! I could honestly listen to you guys talk all day. Hype for part 2!!
