We NEED Etho on the podcast!

[@appIegaiI]

I SECOND THIS!!!

[@Sami-wu1ng]

Yassssssssss!!!!!!!😊

[@silverfeigner]

I'm definitely in favor of this

[@devanylonestar7008]

Yesssss!!

[@SebonClawfang]

I could second this.

petition for future guests: - etho (mc youtube history and his legacy) - grian (life series and mcc) - scott (same as grian / mcc organizer behind the scenes stuff) - joel (youtube history and life series) - joker (bc more people need to be introduced and i think it’d be a great episode

[@BellyriaGames]

agree with all yours. I've seen Scott has done interviews as well and would fit amazing for this style. Probally the most out of the entire list but that doesn't detract from the rest. I love your other choices as well.

[@rain596]

agreed!! i would love to see him in a slightly more formal/serious setting, since he's such an interesting and inspiring person, but i only ever see him when he's streaming or making content

[@silentstephi]

See if you can get Pearl on the podcast! She's such a creative!

[@prateekkalle2474]

It would be super early though

[@ImaginaryMdA]

I'm here for the content of Pearl's and Skizz's completely different styles bouncing off of eachother.

[@The_Grin_Reaper_]

I agree wholeheartedly with this statement

[@MayvieYoutube]

i 🤍 pearlo

[@memryse]

agreed! creative genius aside i feel like pearl would also have some really interesting insights with her being a content creator from australia, i’d love to hear her talk more about how she’s had to tailor her schedule to fit in recordings with americans/europeans (and how that manifests as stuff like 5am pearl)

[@piorfino]

I would love for Mrs Tango to be a guest on the podcast. I think she would have an interesting perspective on the world of content creation as the wife of a full time content creator. Plus now that she has been streaming more herself I think it would be cool to hear how she got into streaming.

[@miniciominiciominicio]

This is very obvious a copypasta at this point. (MrsTango hasn’t streamed in a very long time now.) Though I don’t disagree! MrsTango would be a wonderful guest. I’d like to hear her thoughts on the Among Us nights and what it was like to play with a bunch of famous people and be able to keep up with them.

[@dillonthompson3520]

I whole heartedly believe THE MOST undervalued part of this podcast fell in the last 3 minutes. When Martyn talks about how he just started therapy recently and how open talk and dialogue can be so self healing and helpful to others as well is such a missed part of conversation and Martyn thank you for being so open about that because not enough people are willing to make a statement like that! What an awesome podcast and such an excellent addition from Martyn! Thank you guys!

[@craigcampbell195]

I know you guys have just wrapped with Martyn, But I would love to see him on again in the future. He has such an amazing insight and vision for what he does, I feel there is so much more there to talk about with him that the surface has only just been sratched. So I would love to see you guys bring him back again someday. :D

[@memryse]

I loved the part where Martyn mentioned becoming an advisor for other creators! In 2021 when MCC Rising happened, I remember Martyn was one of the few creators to really throw himself in with that event, involving himself with the participants and getting to know them and mentoring them - that’s something about him that really stuck with me. It was through that event that he got to meet creators like Owen, who then after his success in Rising went on to make Rats SMP which was such a wonderfully creative and unique concept that involved people like Martyn and Scott - his kindness has really been repaid and I think he’s already setting a great example for the ‘new generation’ of creators just by being there and willing to hang out.

[@pikum2272]

I think Joel would be such a great guest but honestly it’d be hard to convince him ngl. He is such an interesting character and it would be cool to learn how he transitioned from COD to MC Also he rarely streams because it’s just not his thing to rly talk to a camera a lot, so I think it’d be rly cool to see on this. The perfect guest imo

[@teewhyTHA]

I’m thinking that when the new Life Series starts, Imp & Skizz need to start a “Talking Dead” style podcast/KZbin show for the day of the episode release. That would be awesome. Run it on this channel, and invite 2-3 creators each week to talk with. I’d love that

[@rosesaysmeow8358]

I think they need to have their POV of Ghost after death in life series to show the live reaction from those not still living react to the winner. Like maybe if Skizz is watching as a ghost next life series if for example it plays out in live time that Impulse wins. I want Skizz's pov

[@Phil4000]

If Etho was on here that would be incredible! Even though he wouldn't show his face I think it would be awesome

[@diannapoulin3921]

My favorite thing about Martyn the way he acts is like he is a fan first and a creator second. So when he says he goes for quality over quantity, he's putting out the kind of content that he would enjoy consuming. And that results in a passion that can't be matched and a high quality standard.

[@hannieslays3751]

I always enjoy authenticity. I know it's tough on the internet, but its much appreciated. Life is messy. Watching others overcome failure is always inspiring to me. Failure isn't fatal......

[@rowanrooks]

I can't believe that this was over an hour long. It was such a good listen. Martyn has a very comforting worldview, and Imp&Skizz are good at creating a conversational space where their guests want to share more of themselves. I didn't really watch Martyn before NewLife SMP, but I am happy to have finally discovered his content. The streams have been a lot of fun.

[@ye3623]

about the discussion at 35:00 about losing subs after life series. I think that's just people that are temporairly subbed for the life seiries and then when the series is over and see an episode they are reminded that their plan was to temporairly sub. Think of it like Life series giving the channel a huge boost and then it tapering off after, but not losing the boost completely because some people will stick around. So in the end it should be a net positive compared to before and after the life series. The comparison just has to be something like right before life series and about a month after. Just saying this as a way to handle that mind goblin.

[@sanautin]

Was a fan of Martyn before, even more so now. Thanks so much for having him on!

[@rosesaysmeow8358]

my sister doesn't like Martyn and i think it's because she doesn't understand role playing. Martyn is one of the people that can role play as a villian

[@sanautin]

@@rosesaysmeow8358 I can understand that. I mean, for example, I love Scar, and I've been watching him for years. There are only 2 Hermits that I NEVER miss an episode of, ever......Scar and Cub. But in the Life series.....I just want Scar to be taken out.....because he's that freaking convincing. In the Life series Scar is the villain I love to hate, and Martyn is.....well, he's not a villain to me, he's justice.

Elybeatmaker! Close!

[@jeanmanguy7900]

The IRL camaderie between the Life series creators really shows on screen and that's a huge part of the success of the series imho. It is so fun to binge all the videos at each release to get the multicam experience, even if we know some of what is going to happen, the chaotic and randomness of people on different trajectories colliding and having fun interactions.

[@OminousWo1f]

Hey Impulse! If it makes you feel any better, I had never seen anything of Martyn's before this episode and I have now watched several of his videos. So it's not a total waste for him!

[@riuphane]

So glad he did this. Just like with Scar and Tango, he's been a favorite of mine for a while and this conversation, even in 2 parts, felt way too short, would love to have him back (but if everyone i wanted came in and came back, it would be years before we got back to just the 2 of you, so don't listen to me)

[@jezedwards8021]

The 'life' series introduced me to Jimmy(Solidarity), which in turn made me a fan of the Empires SMP. Also, Martyn starting the AHA! is possibly one of the funniest ongoing improv skits I've seen. It's so good to see him in a colab as I've always enjoyed his Minecraft content - Screw the Nether, is often sung by my friends when we start a new server, and have to go to the Nether for quartz.

[@teddybeerlepel1]

You gotta see Martyn as the old sheriff on Empires Season 2. That's some acting talent!

[@PantherophisG]

"Why would you go to that party knowing you're going to die?" See 3rd life, week 7.....

[@sarahjensen9409]

I watched Martyn's Ni No Kuni Let's Play all the way through (all 60 episodes) maybe ten times in high school -- it really became my comfort series (and/or procrastination method, a lot of those watch-throughs did start during finals week). I didn't even watch Minecraft back then; I just found the series through my sisters who were Yogscast fans. I got SO excited when he mentioned it in the podcast; it brought back such fond memories :)

Thank you Impulse and Skizz for bringing Martyn on and allowing that space for “real honesty” to happen. Thank you Martyn so much for being honest about your personal struggles; I am still struggling with that desperate approval from people and lately I’ve been run dry. I literally had to pause the video to allow myself to register and take in what you said, and what you said totally resonates with what I’m struggling with. I hope that over time I can come to a place where I can be myself and be okay with that, while loving other people genuinely again. Thank you so much for your honesty Martyn and thank you Impulse and Skizz for your wonderful Podcasts!!

@mcskizzleman I have to say, Skizz's perspective on the bread bridge destruction was the ONLY one out of EVERYONE that captured the drama I felt the incident deserved.

I didn't even try to help and explain myself, I just sat back and watched the chaos unfold.

im kinda biased but i would love to see Jimmy in the podcast i think hes such a cool and underappriciated creator and he has been in so many different smps and has many connections to other different kind of ccs and it would be fun to have someone on the empires smp side! Hes talked a little about mental health and his journey with youtube before on his stream and i would love to hear him talk about it more.

[@Fishingbowl]

Also hes silly

[@RealityDisco]

I loved this episode! Martyn's perspective on things is so interesting and fun. I love how open he was and how it is to see the man behind the great characters he makes!

[@tiekeidee]

Martyn and Skizz act pretty different from the way I do, but in watching these past 2 podcasts I still saw a lot of similarities in our way of thinking, that amount of honesty and some of the ways Martyn thinks really makes me feel, if more people were like this in the world I think it could be a lot more of an accepting place. Not everyone is fortunate enough to grow up around knowledge that can change their life for the better. That amount of selflessness with consideration for others is a truly rare, and the way Martyn executes it with his actions is an admirable thing. I’m super thankful for this to hear how his thought process and experiences were it’s a really inspiring story. It also feels super motivating as someone else who is also selfless to go out of their way and try to learn how others think for the sake of good communication, that I’m not the only one. With how “loud” some of the people on the internet (meaning the things that get the most attention) are it can make me lose motivation sometimes, but hearing life experiences like these are a big reason of why I continue this road, remembering the fulfilment of just “i tried, and I have good intentions and if others can’t see that it’s a pity” is so important. I think I’ll try something new today, been meaning to try get a feel for anime journaling so I’ll go do that. (edit: i wrote a podcast in the comments oops)

[@QuibieGG]

When Martin said, "Lean into your USP. Nobody can be you other than you. Don't try to be a comedian and like everybody else in the group. Be you and be unapologetically you," lights fired off in my brain. Phrasing it this way makes so much more sense to me than the often-used phrase, "Live your authentic self." I've often thought, "What is my authentic self???" I've had that thought because, from an early age, I wanted to be more like others around me who had a quicker wit or were funnier or whatever. Not that I'm not either of those, but I never saw it. But, "Be unapologetically you" is something I've been striving for without having the words for it. Thank you Martin, and thanks Imp & Skiaa.

[@pikum2272]

JIZZIE

[@tom_stephen]

Skizz, about your "I can envision, but something has control over my hand so I can't do it": it's a matter of learned skill. This feeling is very common whenever you start something you don't have much knowledge on, or very surface level knowledge. I can say that from experience, as I started several things in my life in last year (thanks to this podcast, yes :>) and that feeling was very much the same. I persisted mostly because of my ambitions, but if I were to just persist from feedback that work would give me, I'd give up. Unfortunately gathering skill is a bit invisible, since it is a process, you won't feel improvement - you can see it judging your work over time, but that's it. But believe me, if you are curious enough (and I know you are! I can't think of someone more embracing that than you, to be honest!), you will be there. Just collect knowledge, ask those builders how they look at things, and very slowly, this change of mind builds up. Just like, in my example, every programming abstraction slowly "fits" into place like great puzzle, but it's impossible to understand deep abstractions without finding out meaning behind simpler ones ^^

[@cariba6555]

I petition for Joel. His sense of humor is perfect for my funny bone. He is so hard working and you can tell that he is working hard to find a family/life/work balance. He seems like such a calm, even tempered tolerant joyful person but plays this hysterical egomaniac on Minecraft. He is very interesting. Lizzie has really been a trend setter and female leader in Minecraft and her sense of humor is also great. Together they are adorable but I bet they have a lot of interesting things to talk about. I see the other comments for other guest and honestly every single Hermit and Empires character would be interesting. You two are doing a fantastic job!

[@victornoname7269]

Skizz, you and I have the same problem when it comes to drawing. I can see all these cool things in my head, but I can't get them down on the dang paper! I hope if I keep working at it long enough I'll get there some day, but for now the struggle is real.

So positive. Don't ever stop being who you are. You guys are authentic and you've given this sad heart a real pick me up with your laughter and genuine love for one another. Thank you.

[@junoantaresofficial]

The Vtuber talk gave me an idea! What if you commissioned a vtuber artist/designer to make an avatar for Etho? That way it can look any way he wants it to. It would maintain his privacy, but be a bit more personable and emotive than his minecraft character or a static image. Again only if he is comfortable and if you ever mention that you've talked to him and he's not up for it I'll stop asking for him to be invited.

T___T I can definitely relate with Martyn in the sense of trying to fit in and then acquiring skills that may help in other areas of life. I'm aware people could gun for class clown or joker for some traumas... The learning to be honest also happened to me where I just got sick of doing things in the unwritten rules of society -like the good example of corporate politeness -- so I just went for honesty. It doesn't always work out...like some outcomes still feel like I've done wrong or the worst doing so... But it's good to know someone who's been down that path and can tell me that it CAN be okay... or WILL be. Love the helpfulness... Not just from Martyn, not just hermicraft.... But a lot of the minecraft creators I follow and watch and admire tend to have this good sense of community have this in common. During the cross-over, and during the life-series, it's just been demonstrated over and over again, that you all look after each other. With Hermitcraft, I know it's more established due to its history, everyone has to be on board, and everyone has to be compatible, everyone has to adapt, and it's done for the good of the server. You'll hear Docm77 say that the Grian/Xisuma/hermit effect is when people bring in their viewers and are opened up to a whole new other worlds with other hermits. Things as simple as showing other people's builds as a tour. And I am so glad and relieved it's spreading as well! Having pulled along Martyn back into MC, then I got to know Empires too! Through the life series! It's the kind of community that doesn't shy away from interactions, but doesn't force it (you'll see other channels trying to stick close to the one with the most subs... and that can seem so...cringily forced... it's so uncomfortable... and just not fun --probably not for everyone in that video collab too..). And you guys mean the world to me... because you're such great human beings... it's a world I wanted to live in, but I feel is so hard to come by or so artificial in the real world... If you guys are raising kids in your pg channels.. there's hope for the world... I didn't make it through uni coz of crab-mentality... there's none of this helpfulness you guys talk about... by the time I was in college, everything just piled up and I just gave up... You guys aren't afraid to go busting through those figurative doors even while not being sure what's behind it... But honestly, just knowing each other I think your odds of something amazing... are so high... I hope you ride for however long you enjoy it... It's demonstrated the most in the life series where origin from hermitcraft or evo or empires or any other channel or smp doesn't matter... And I love moments like that where Skizz dropped the F bomb... and everyone just laughed... xD It is good to hear good heart laughter/imagine it... just shows how open and accepting people are in the series and where they came from. It's so true about authenticity... It's sad that I think it's because it feels so rare in the wild/IRL... as people become influenced or even pressured into certain ways of living or behaving... Though I have to say, there are also loads of people that tend to pretend in this authenticity in order to rake in views... I'll see that a lot with animal videos, or rescue videos, or kindness and generosity ones... It takesa lot of time and skill to even discern.. Some channels I watch are psychology related to help myself and others -to understand people better... But have had to recently unsubscribe when I realize where that off-putting feeling comes from... Some people in it for money and fame and nothing else... and that's when being desperate for those things or feeling entitled seems to just.. saturate youtube with a lot of awful and harmful content in the guise of authentic, altruistic, candid moments caught on camera or even just obs for games... Thank you for being who you are. There's no doubt it's hard living in the world where you literally need money to just survive and have time and afford a house to sleep in. But the effort you guys go through to be considerate and to be honest about those needs as a human being, even the emotional ones about needing validation or reassurances... just that you make it worth for you as a meaningful, if not just entertaining, content. Congrats to Martyn for going to therapy! I'm so glad you find it cathertic to talk and to be heard, and to know that even the unpleasant things you went through could help others! Lean into your USP -- make sense. But I don't know what mine is other than I enjoy talking to people and learning things... but can't master them. I'm still catching up on the podcast episodes, but THIS has been so cathertic so far... to feel so humanly connected to other people.... So thank you... so much...
