Joel calling Etho a "stupid little Canadian man" made me laugh so much 😆

[@UnOfficalHostOfTPOT]

timestamp?

[@ScarlettWasMaroon]

He’s just quirky, he said it himself!

[@pat-pat8793]

​@@UnOfficalHostOfTPOT around 30:47 !

[@pikum2272]

Despite his egotistical persona on yt(which I love), Joel is so aware and humble. The amount of times he said “I’m lucky” and “I’m privileged” was so real of him. But when skizz kinda said that he does deserve this and put in the work made me tear up. 2/3

[@AdrianaHoffmanisthebest]

Love Joel live laugh love Joel

[@tyrsia]

I’d love to see an interview with Lizzie! ❤ She is the reason I play Minecraft. She taught me that girls can be gamers without trying to pretend to be “one of the boys”. Just be yourself and have fun in your own way.

[@Hope_B-68742]

Yes, we want Lizzie on now!!!

[@tomtom7350]

Yes! I was just about to comment this.

[@catsandcrafts171]

I'd love to see LIzzie, she is so much fun and such a bright, clever lady.

[@qubit0000]

I'm willing to bet this is already in the pipeline. We don't even have to ask. It would be beneficial, and for balance, to interview more women, to see content creation from a woman's perspective. How do they juggle video production and laundry? Not only an interview with Lizzie, but with FalseSymmetry, StressMonster, and ZombieCleo. This will be a challenge for "the boys", no doubt. But worth the experience.

[@miniciominiciominicio]

@@qubit0000 I'm glad you brought up False, Stress, and Cleo as I've been hoping for Cleo for the longest time after Impulse and Skizz dropped the ball with Gem. But I'd rather see each of them get their own podcasts than shoved into a "girl gamer" special episode.

[@appelflap420]

I would love to see Pearl on the podcast!! ❤️

[@Larry16214]

Or LDshadowlady🙏

[@ellisharelasky3905]

Yea ❤

[@natasha.r.m]

Me too!

[@Nocthena]

I was just thinking this earlier!!

[@someonewhocantmakeuptheirm2671]

yesss omg, i wanna hear more insight about her

[@Nylaria24]

Joel is literally designed for creating. His interest in learning the tricks keeps him hooked and his charisma even out of character is entertaining

[@Flora__Rose]

Joel is literally such an idol in my life, I am so happy for him to be on this podcast:) I have been waiting all week for pt 2

[@heartportals]

real

[@ShamIsClueless]

YES!!!

FR!!

[@ameliaartgirl]

Same!

[@nikmendoza6500]

YUPPP :)

[@nomekuni1307]

Impulse saying seeing fans in the wild like they’re pokemons 😂😂

[@noatmealcookie02]

pretty accurate gotta say

[@susantummon3463]

It's true. I'm a psyduck. ;-)

[@rtg4094]

If I’m being honest I feel like Joel is one of the nicest people you can meet

[@Hope_B-68742]

Even tho he calls all of his viewers stupid idiots on a regular basis! 🤣🤣

[@Trauma284]

​@@Hope_B-68742 smallishbeans does that. Joel doesn't

[@rtg4094]

It’s his way of showing us love 😂

[@Trauma284]

@rtg4094 facts. It's the roastmaster law. If you don't like/friends with the people, you don't get to roast them.

[@rtg4094]

@Trauma284 I’m laughing cause that’s how I treat all my good friends. We just take playful jabs at each other 😂

[@pikum2272]

The fact that he openly said that he is socially awkward was so cool. As someone who is also socially awkward, watching some of his interactions in videos is so relatable, which is kinda hard to find in other creators. I love him so much even more and Loved the podcast ❤ Keep up the great work guys 3/3

[@cloudyysage]

As a usually non podcast person, I absolutely love this podcast

[@Nylaria24]

100% with you here. Normally zone out but happily listening along here

[@Kiwimarauder]

Imp and Skizz is the only podcast I regularly watch. Not much interested in podcasts otherwise. They're special

[@Chriscsg89]

100% agree. This is the only podcast I care about. Impulse and Skizzleman are not only some of my favorite creators, but as a man in my mid 30's they're very relatable as well.

[@Nylaria24]

@@Kiwimarauder honestly can say this is the first podcast I’ve ever actually watched. There is some elements I still don’t particularly love so won’t be a huge follower, but I will say they clearly have a talent for interviewing! I enjoy watching them interview the hermits and other KZbinrs because they let us get to know the person behind the persona

[@nmgg6928]

Lol same only podcast I ever watched until very recently discovered smosh has a podcast so I've been trying to check it but time is seriously an issue lol

[@Laxmi13]

I was totally not stalking the channel... 😅

[@Missmori]

It always posts while Im on my first break. So I know I can listen immediately lol

[@TabbiKat47]

I've had notifications on for ages for this exact reason lol!

[@pomfrid_pom]

Same I was just waiting on the vidio like checking every hour or so

[@Laxmi13]

I know it's always gonna be ready at 10am my time. And I'm usually getting ready for my teen's 11am appt. It's much nicer getting ready with imp and Skizz in my ear! But I'm impatient about it! 😅

[@Xbros03]

PearlescentMoon would be an absolute awesome guest to invite to the podcast! Y’all could discuss her brilliant capacity to visualize and bring builds to life, her unique style composed of complex organics, her friendly personality, how she’s found her voice and feels so incredibly confident and natural in conversing, how drastically she contributes to the positive and exciting atmosphere of whatever SMP she finds herself in, her experiences in participating in MCC, her views in regards to the KZbin platform, as well as a little bit about her life leading up to such an illustrious career. Impulse and Skittleman, you should definitely consider it… please? 😊

[@user-kk4by7bx1s]

FR FR Pearl is one of my favorite hermits

[@heatherreadsreddit8579]

Also, how she is Queen of Decked Out, and has embraced being awesome at so many things!

[@sakarifernandez9105]

Absolutely not. I can't imagine having to look at her face for an hour straight. yuck!

[@thejonbmc]

There are very few KZbinrs who I will drop everything I'm doing and instantly watch their videos when they come out, and Joel is one of those.

[@klosux]

righttt and i dont even watch alot of mc youtubers mainly just him and lizzie

[@hellomelisaaa]

haha, for me i save the good videos to watch when i can really focus on it, maybe have some food with it too.

[@klosux]

@@hellomelisaaa me too i love to watch long videos while eating food

[@pikum2272]

I was genuinely sad when the podcast ended because I could’ve watched for hours. One of my favorite podcast episodes ever including the previous one with Joel. I feel like there was so much room for him to speak which was so lovely 1/3

[@Lililouvre]

Watching Joel on a podcast is so therapeutic! It's so crazy to think that I started watching him and lizzie when I was 8 and I'm 19 now 😭

[@triciapgh]

It says a lot about Joel that he had the drive and self discipline to do this without other job experience. Talent on multiple levels and a charming and humble personality. His parents must be so proud, kudos to them for encouraging him when he was first inspired and provided evidence that he could do it. Another great interview.🎉

[@sunnytabby]

15:55 i heard 'flirt with everybody' and i nodded,that was very joel coded

[@evaaaaaaaaa13]

49:49 i swear this is the most relatable thing ever i LOVE travel (like physically being on a train, plane etc) because i feel so devoid of responsibility. i’ve never heard anyone else say it before joel is so real for this

[@isabellaweaver7941]

As soon as Joel said that he gets sea sick and motion sickness I got instant flashbacks to real life 😂

[@missjacquelineo]

As someone who just discovered Hermitcraft last year, it’s has never been about the game but more about the personalities. Maybe it’s my older age as I’m in my forties

[@savannahrogers1462]

Same! I just started playing again and have to ask my teenager for help! Hermitcraft has given me so many ideas.

[@lea.charbonneau]

I've been following since i was about 12 years old and I'm now 19 but I can say 100% it has always been the same for me

[@miningmama7379]

I'm in my 60s started watching hermit craft in season 7 when my kids got me playing Minecraft it's been during COVID and after that enjoyable content and fun watching the Hermits ..It's a family of friends that play and have a blast,and it helps me with ideas in my own little world of Minecraft..It's ageless!

[@EvesterBee]

Sometimes you just get a good vibe from someone and Joel 100% gives that off. Such a great episode, I had a smile on my face the whole time!

[@Charlie08326]

Love to see Grain on the podcast

[@Safnite07]

Who is this grain character???

[@Charlie08326]

@@Safnite07 he seems like a pesky bird

[@mollyfite6394]

​@@TheVampireFreddo grain giran who are these people 😂😂

[@Nalu-pz6fq]

Joel’s comment about coming back to Minecraft to watch Etho is me, got me watching season 10

[@jasonolson7966]

26:49 I think when Minecraft dies and Hermitcraft ends, there will still be a place for remaining active hermits to put on story lines with friends. But honestly Minecraft may be around for another 10+ years. It definitely has the legs to continue fostering a creative atmosphere that will continue to generate interest.

[@ninjasuperman9538]

It still baffles me that we had backpack mods back when Notch was the only dev and because he said “I don’t want to add functionality that is already made with mods” we have been stuck with a bad inventory ever since

[@Idran]

I don't think you can really blame that for it, there's been tons of content added since he made that comment that was already covered by mods. Heck, horses literally came from hiring a mod developer who had made a mod that included horses.

[@holtster3797]

Impulse and his bunker. Love that Joel was like"well if you prank me, I'll just prank your bunker." Such a wholesome group of people. Love how humble he is in real life. his funny, angry beans skit that he does. ❤

[@mirakunzin9535]

I’ve been watching Joel since I was little him and Lizzie have been huge inspirations to me to just go out and have fun and always be yourself. They are both such great people to watch and I love the feeling of getting to know more about Joel and others on your podcast so special thanks to impulse and skizz whom I also love for making that happen ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@xiaverjames1142]

I have watched all these podcast episodes, and one thing I am starting to realize, everyone needs a friend like Skizz.

[@ObviousPachyderm]

The world would be a decidedly better place if it had more people like him

[@mitchtunicliffe1007]

Absolutely. Skizz is an amazing person

[@TuneRMX323]

Omg next episode will be the 100th

[@PeanutbutterChurro]

Yupp

[@emily_elizabeth1654]

01:03 joel's story has made me admire him even more icl. i had the same injury at 12 years old, 3 surgeries down, and almost 10 years later, im still dealing with the damage from it. it's great that he's been able to build an amazing platform from such a debilitating injury 👏

[@SegundoArmendariz]

Joel has become one of my favorite Hermits. What a great addition to the server! I&S! You have to get Lizzie on here too.

[@Ghoulzzzzzzzz]

Doctors: That's a career ending injury. Joel 20-30 yrs later: That injury is probably the reason I have the career I have now

[@AdamMansbridge]

A career starting injury

[@catsumc]

45:37 Joel just validated all of my spending habits /j

[@Techychello]

Episode 100 next week! Either they’ll interview Grian or have an episode where they look back on the podcast’s journey.

[@tofftiggy]

I agree

[@RagingViking901]

As someone who is both older and fairly new to Minecraft, I can say that I am a new Etho fan myself. He was probably the third or fourth Minecrafter I started watching on KZbin. Impulse, you were the first! 😁

[@Shaun_Paetsch]

I will always watch Joel as long as he is posting

[@nonbinarymermaid]

it is amusing hearing Joel talk about how the viewers that have been around for 10+ years are pretty rare these days, speaking as one of those viewers who’s been watching Etho, then the redstoners, then eventually hermitcraft and beyond since 2011

[@splendidflavors5808]

It's been genuinely amazing to hear more about Joel's journey on KZbin and his dedication and perseverance to both his viewers and videos! He has been and continues to be an icon in the Minecraft content creation space! Here's to hoping Joel builds a roller-coaster/rail cart system in Hermitcraft after the many roller-coaster conversations in the podcast XD

[@garlicmint]

Love this chat! It's frustrating to feel like you're doing 'everyhing right' in the content sphere and still not getting more than ~100 views. The auditorium analogy at 58:16 made me self-check big time: that's 2 auditoriums for my last video! 😵‍💫

[@amelie8603]

I really want to see Lizzie on the podcast some time now that Joel has been on.

[@anpan_sparking]

Listened to this one already on spotify earlier but still wanna watch the whole thing 😂 Would love Lizzie as a guest in the podcast as well ♡

[@trixxiemc4366]

23:43 No but it’s crazy to think about minecraft ending someday.. but all good things must come to an end

[@Rohanadarilin]

Just so yall know : I had my day changed for the better watching this and listening to yall. Thank you.

[@kaitiemarie9572]

I just realized I think we need larger stacks of items! That could help with the inventory.

[@saorsa6442]

loved this podcast - love Joel. I discovered him through Empires, watching Pix (new to minecraft and his series really helped this *40 year old learn!) and found Joel - he is now one of the few I always cheer and try and watch asap, when I see an upload! Such a lovely lad 🥰 Also really like you guys, this is my first season watching Hermitcraft and tbh it's because of Joel & Skizz and the others from the Live series!

[@mtaylo26]

Joel is so awesome. One of the best Minecrafters out there. He always makes me laugh.

[@Q_theMisanthrope]

I love Joel! He and lizzy were the first Minecraft KZbinrs I watched (besides Grian’s build tutorials). ❤❤❤

[@CoyoteLovelyLV]

I could literally watch you guys build and hangout no matter what Mojang does with Minecraft.

[@megtvedt6120]

It would be interesting to have Fwhip as guest on the podcast, he have mentioned on stream he would like too.

[@nether2227]

Im a Joel and Lizzie OG found them in 2014/15 when I was a lonely pre-teen. Found Grian in 2015/16 doing biuld swaps and build schools, then he joined Hermitcraft and ive been a viewer of probably 75% if not more of the Hermits sinse. But what really blew up my Imp and Skizz love was a mixture of the life series and Impulse joining the botem hole crew. I definetly watched lots of Impulse during season 6, I remember the creation of iTrade and biulding in that little pirate cove and I was soo blown away with everything

[@emily-tw7rv]

I rewatch that video where the game updates every day every couple of months, I love it its such a fun idea

[@waknbakn420]

I'd love to see Joel and Lizzie on the podcast, i know to got Joel now both of them

[@Mssailormoonfan22]

I would love to see Grian on the Podcast!😊

[@jacobkaczor8633]

The bleep out 😂 45:05

[@cappared]

I didn't pick up Minecraft until I was a full grown adult during COVID lock down, so I'm still in my honeymoon period with Minecraft KZbin. I love all the content out there and consume it on the daily. I agree that a new audience comes up all the time

[@fallacrobat]

Hearing Joel say he is socially awkward makes me relate to him so much

[@heatherstiara8033]

I’m the 10 year+ viewer lol. I’m 34 now. And started watching back in the Crazy Craft days. Me and my husband watch these videos together. I don’t play Minecraft much anymore. But I still love watching it. 😊

[@cappared]

Re: Hytale I just saw a video the other day that was an interview with Noxy talking about the power of a single player in relation to how Technoblade impacted both hypixel and the trajectory of Hytale and he talks about the development and has some updates. So it's still a thing!

[@chaseashley6775]

3:28 he was firteen

[@Van-dq4sw]

Love every time Impulse talks about rationalizing the number of people enjoying your work - the world can feel so Big online, but when you tie it down to what an actual roomful of that number of people feels like, it helps make it easier to see how many people you're actually reaching.

[@miridium121]

I really like the spacing of a few duo episodes inbetween these guest episodes! Keeps both fresh!

[@sibhusky8667]

I have been watching Joel for as long as I can remember, I am a long time viewer. Same as like Lizzie, and all the ogs

[@amylynne92485]

I tore my ACL at 15 playing tag. 😅 stepped in a hole and my knee twisted. Joel isn't alone doing it at a young age lol

[@static_panick]

I just wanna say thank you for getting Joel. I discovered him in the second life series when he died like 4x in his second episode and saw it in others and HAD to know what happened and fell in love with his content. Love hearing his story and everything!!! I’ve waited for this one for a while since part 1 lol

[@hcfan109]

If or when youtube is done, tell us where you go next. We will follow you to whatever platform! The end of youtube will not mean the end of Hermitcraft or minecraft content. We just have to find a new place if that happens.

[@Mizo-Creeping]

I really really enjoyed myself during these two episodes with our man Joel , probably one of my all time favourite episodes ( am I biased cus Joel ? Yes very much

[@LEMON392-lo9kh]

The moment I saw part two was out I listened to the whole thing! Who’s next?

[@MuffinKat-ve2qe]

Attention to detail and community collaboration makes Minecraft rare

[@AnyKeyLady]

Really enjoyed this 2 part podcast guys! Very interesting discussion and love how grounded Joel is. I think that is what i like about the hermits in general, is how humble they are and how they are doing this as they enjoy it, whether it be playing minecraft or the creative side of YT.

[@CreeperIzzy2210]

this is literally the only podcast ive fully listened to

[@trash__queen]

At the end of the day we watch for the people, not the game. Whatever happens to Minecraft happens to Minecraft, the audience will still be around awaiting what you guys will do next

[@one__soul3]

Been waiting for this for a whole week!!!! Love the podcast so so so much ❤❤❤

[@riuphane]

As someone who follows all of you but has never taken the time to meet you in person, i can confirm that a lot of your videos, especially Skizz's videos, improve my life. These podcasts have also had a pretty profound impact on tons of us. Between the comments here and during streams, it's quite evident. Thank you all.

[@cenedraleaheldra5275]

I am loving the hermits being close together and interacting.. So many laughs

[@carlylex]

Joel was my internet crush😂now I just enjoy the heck out of the cuteness between him and Lizzie ❤👏

[@Noosh610]

I am literally building Lego as skiz said it

[@Chillychive]

I found this at the perfect time. I struggle with insomnia and tonight was one of those nights where i just cant sleep. This gives me something to do other than just make myself miserable trying. Thank you Impulse and Skizz & Joel! Have been looking forward to this podcast forever

[@miningmama7379]

Its timeless and ageless for families to play together..🌟

[@overpower3382]

Doc said in a recent Hermitcraft episode that he was going to be on the podcast so I'm really looking forward to that!

[@andrewholland2763]

I have watched every episode (some multiple times). It makes my Friday morning. I cannot believe that next week is episode 100!!!

[@riuphane]

Yeah, coming up on 2 years!!! Can't believe it's been going that long already

[@iver7473]

It’s nice to hear Joel talk about RuneScape. I played it as a kid too and I just picked it up again 20 years after I first played! It’s really fun and has gotten me into gaming where before I felt like there wasn’t a point cause I wasn’t good at it. Great chats all around ❤️ love this podcast

[@safehavendot]

As a small content creator that is currently at a low point "end of the rollercoaster" analogy is such a great motivator. Thank you for the amazing podcasts

[@catsumc]

In ten years I hope that Joel's still very happy doing what he loves and I hope that I'm still watching the videos of the man that I have first watched back when I was in 6th grade. I'm graduating college next year and I'm still watching Joel (man time flies). It's been so fun knowing more about this man who I consider a childhood hero through this podcast so I'm very thankful and I just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it!! 🤍🫂

[@pat-pat8793]

I WAS LITERALLY WAITING FOR THIS

[@auntypuds99]

Joel is a great role model for humility. Minecraft is therapeutic except for creepers….

[@LaGrenouille09]

I LOVE Joel, I’m so glad to see him on the podcast. I also love how the guys have ability to relate to everyone they’ve had on

[@hazelflwrs]

was such a good time listening to you all 🫶🏼 i’ve loved these joel episodes so much, it feels like such a gift to hear the insight from someone i have been watching for so long!! i hope you bring on lizzie, pearl or cleo next! would love to hear more about their experiences in the male-dominated minecraft scene ☺️

[@user-ye9xd1sv3y]

You should have grian on the podcast!

[@pricilamuller4356]

You all are amazing, I have so much fun watching. I send lots of good energy to you from the South of Brazil, big hug.

[@rachelkim4457]

Maybe etho feels that way because he doesn’t play the algorithm. I’m not saying it’s bad or anything. But etho stays true to who he is and doesn’t really force himself to be dragged by the algorithm. Which might mean that youtube doesn’t push him to new audiences. I am a relatively new mc yt watcher. I watched etho because everybody else that showed up on my feed said etho was so amazing. Not cos etho popped on my feed. When you first start watching minecraft, it depends on where u start I suppose. But for me just getting into minecraft for the first time, Grian got pushed on me by the algorithm. And once u get into grian, the algo started showing me scar. The other hermits I only found because I actively wanted to complete my hermit viewership Etho is often seen as like a celebrity within mc yt. Like how mcc players reacted to etho’s first appearance on mcc or meeting him for the first time. So he has cult following a bit and like he’s seen as a classic and almost revered? By fans. But for newcomers to this content side, may miss etho on their feed I don’t think he has to change because he still has a large and loyal viewership. But if he feels discontent about new viewers, that may be why Xisuma talks about how etho not playing the algorithm could be a drawback or a strength to him because there are people that LOVE etho for exactly that reason

[@thezeronerd9708]

You three are true inspirations on what hard work brings.

[@MishkaDuSpectre]

I just want to say, this podcast is one of my favorites of all time! And I really appreciate the both of you for doing this. We may never see eachother, but you guys do make a big impact on the world. Honestly, this podcast helps me feel grounded seeing how similar and disimilar we all are as people

[@kristoffosaurus]

Joel, you havent been lucky, you are GOOD at what you do, and dont downplay that

[@vinny_6285]

Listened to the last one and thrilled to continue now!! ❤❤❤

[@GamewithJess]

Freshman year in high school so around the same age as Joel, I tore my ACL playing soccer and had to have reconstructive surgery- so a year recovery with the hamstring graft. They had to drill through my growth plate and had a very similar injury/ recovery. However, I went onto university to play. It's a lot of hard work- but it's doable! But range of motion isn't all there and now being 10 years out of it, I still have inflammation and aches and runners' knees by the age of 25. Now 30, I don't do much contact- just coach.

[@thalia3453]

i would love for you to have an episode with lizzie. she raised so many people and as one of the ogs, it would be great to hear a bit more about her

[@Sakana_Ren]

Same, the End needs a major overhaul. And, yes, I remember the season where ZombieCleo created a build in the End that was mind-boggling. mhm. Keep up the awesome work. And, take care. /o

[@depthstrider6434]

would you ever consider inviting Pixelriffs and Joel Duggen on the podcast from the Spawn Chunks so you could both talk about podcasts

[@PickledDude]

Was waiting for this episode ❤ Longest week of my life 😂

[@elizabethavictorianor]

Good to see Joel on the podcast! I decided to watch Etho because other hermits would explore his wacky season 7 base and I wanted to see how his creative process worked. His chill vibes, beautiful builds, and unique sense of humor got me hooked.
