Seriously, I am a 42 year old Mom who watches Hermitcraft and the Life serious and this guy so hard, but in the best possible way. Love can get you through anything and BDubs shows that.
56 year old Grandma here! I have a chronic pain disorder, so I spend a lot of time in bed watching RUclips. I stumbled upon the life series one day. Now I am here, lol. Love these guys! I even started playing minecraft!
I really didn't expect Bdubs to talk about his 3rd daughter, but I'm glad he still dedicates and will continue to dedicate the happiness he brings to other people to her memory.
From the guy who comments “we want bdubs!” every week: thank you!! I already listened this morning on Spotify at the gym. If any of the three of you see this, again, thank you and keep up the great work!
And at the camera we're looking out of too, I get the feeling that he worked on that before with them, maybe even putting stickers or something on where the different things he wanted to look at were. Unless Bdubs has some sort of ultrawide monitor where it's wide enough for that.
Oh god yes! I'm glad somebody commented this It was sooo good I thought they're making it look like so they provided him his mike even tho it's vid call xD
And well staged with bDubs looking like he's looking at them even while on screen and then also looking to our, the audience's camera while still on screen. Even pointing with the cliffhanger line at the end. Well done on the set up. Really adds to it.
Bdubs has such a story. He’s the silliest goofiest man with such a depth of sincerity. I cry every time I hear his story. As a mom who was told I have a high chance of my baby having Trisomy 18, I know a bit about how that feels. I got lucky, but there was a week I didn’t know. Thank you for talking about that. It just shows how huge your heart is.
I had totally forgotten about his daughter. Wow that story hit like a ton of bricks. Had to take a 10 min break. How strong he became. Something on God and family could help him through. Extremely beautiful showing of love.
I just have to say that I'm not bothered at all when you guys split the guest appearances into two episodes. It's the opposite. When I'm sad that the episode is about to end and you say that there will be more it's the best thing ever. Yay, more Bdubs next week!
Exactly! I also love that the two episodes usually show two different sides of the guest because I like learning more about the person in general rather than just the RUclips side of them!
I had no idea how much we should be thanking bdub’s wife for giving him the push to take RUclips seriously. How awesome it must be to have support from her!
I watched bdubs for a long time, and when he told us about ivy, I was sobbing at my computer. Just had my own daughter, I think she was like 8 months old at the time. I couldn't imagine as a father going through that then, and still can't. When his first video came out after, i cried again. I knew hed made it through, and found a reason to keep going. He's always been such an amazing man, and he's someone whom I've tried to be more like. Love you man. Hell, all three of you are amazing. Thank you for consistent inspiration, even as a 36 year old.
Bdubs is the best. I remember the video he released about his daughter when they found out and I cried. Not gonna lie, I just cried again. One of the best things about creators like Bdubs or Scar or TFC or any of the other peeps, you all are part of the family even if you don't know us, we feel like we know you. We all appreciate you for being part of our lives.
The strongest people are those who turn adversity into drive. The Bdubs' and Scar's of the world who are faced with such tremendous adversity and see it not as an obstacle but as a motivator to put as much good into the world as possible. It is beyond inspiring to me to see someone like Bdubs turn what for some would be the most devastating tragedy into a life defining mission to keep moving forward. I cannot express enough how grateful and lucky I am to have role models like Bdubs. @Skizz you said you are seeing a new side of Bdubs today and I want to challenge that a bit. I think the fire that this trauma instilled in him is very evident in every recording. I think it's clear that his passion and drive show through every time he sits down to make content. Now we just have the privilege to see the source of that passion.
This comment is for BDubs. I've watched you as a hermit crafter/youtuber for several years. I have a living son with Trisomy 13. Your story brought me to tears and touched my heart so deeply because I know exactly what it is to be on the receiving end of those conversations. Thank you so very much for sharing. I am so happy that you've found a way through the grief to bring so much joy to your videos and community is a really beautiful legacy. From one T13 family to another, I wish for continued strength to you and your family even as the years continue to go by.
It’s kinda strange but I almost view Bdubs as a father figure in my life. I watched him through some very dark times and his advice during building with Bdubs planted seeds for getting out of em. He’s one of the goats of Minecraft let’s plays. And his cities skylines series I’ve rewatched twice or three times. He’s a king and his view on family really inspires me.
Damn. Wasn't expecting something this deep. Especially the daughter part really moved me since I hadn't heard that before. Just makes me respect Bdubs even more.
Best interview yet. As a mother, I can’t tell you how much respect I have for BDubds. I knew about Ivy, but wasn’t sure he would mention her….his strength and ability to turn that pain into a tribute in her honour is one of the most admirable qualities in him. His character and strength are why I will always be a loyal viewer! Looking forward to part 2!
I know it's a very long shot but.... an Etho interview?? Nothing about his personal life obviously but i would be curious to hear his thoughts about content creation and how he started.
Look how Anthony Padilla deals with it for his faceless interviewees. I'm sure they could do something similar. Even if it's just Etho's MC skin sitting in a room lol
Oh, BDubs. I, too, have lost a child. I feel ya, man. And thank you for the way you honor your daughter's memory, because we get to SEE it in the content you create and share with us. ❤
By far the best and most personal interview yet. I'm 55 and i cried with Bdubs. So proud of you for giving your daughter every chance for success. Thank you Imp and Skiz, I love you Bdubs.
This title did not mention a part 1, so I was worried there wouldn't be a part 2! I'm so glad that we get to hear more of Bdubs next week and this is, in fact, only part 1 of 2! ❤🎉
This is my first Imp and Skizz Podcast to watch, but I'm so very glad I did. I'm a 46 year old woman who has felt lost my entire life. I'm single, no kids, and unable to work for a variety of reasons. But just at the end of last year I was finally given a solid diagnosis of ADHD, and put on ADHD meds for the first time in my life. As my Mother has said, I just never found my feet, so to speak. But now I finally feel like maybe I can figure out what to do with my life. I've also been a lifelong PC gamer. Or rather, lifelong if you consider I didn't have access to a computer until I was a teenager. 😅 Gaming has always been my escape from reality. I've done a bit of streaming and video making in the past. But now I'm trying to take up streaming more often. Dunno if I'll ever gain any kind of an audience, but it gives me something to do, and a platform to talk to people. I guess what I'm saying is I can relate to so many of the things you guys talked about, especially as you're close to my age. I love all three of you guys, and have watched a lot of your content. But now I love all you guys even more. Thanks for sharing your stories, and giving someone like me some insight and inspiration for where I might want to take my own path. 💜
I still remember when Bdubs posted the "Pray for BDubs" video about his daughter. I watched it immediately, and I cried almost throughout the entire thing. Listening to BDubs recount part of that story today brought back those memories (and some of those tears), and it serves as a good reminder to me of how the most tragic things we can go through can help to make us stronger if we just keep going and come out the other side. I especially loved today how he said that he didn't want the memory of his daughter to be the reason he quit doing this... I've looked up to him and now I look up to him even more. Thank you Imp & Skizz for giving him somewhere to tell his story again.
I'm 31 years old with a 13 year old daughter (Yes, we were young) Whenever bdubs talks about losing their daughter its brings tears to my eyes, i couldnt imagine losing a child. Much love and respect for you bdubs, love your content and your ability/motivation to push forward.
I took the ‘suck it up’ mentality a bit too much to heart, to the point where I am no longer me, I have been lost in a shell of my former self through trauma. I HAD to put on a happy face through my depression a few years back. Now, I’m having to do that masking again, no one knows, apart from you who reads this comment. Much Love
I was fourteen when i started watching this man, i'm 24 now, can't say it enough he's an awesome, great person. And here i am crying again hearing his story.
As a creator who just finished their first “official” year as a RUclipsr- this hits. Hard. Every word from Bdubs, Imp, and Skizz was like listening to the tape that’s been on a loop in my head for the past 12 months. And it just further increases my respect for creators that burn bright while not burning out. Thank you 3 for this episode, I look forward to more like it. Subscribed :)
I really appreciate this podcast. Especially when things got deep and sad and reflective. I had a really tough 2023 losing my job my father, my daughter having brain surgery, and my wife losing her grandmother. Sometimes it's difficult to roll with the valleys that come. But hearing that other people have also existed in those valleys makes it more manageable especially when it's people that you have watched for some time and feel connected to. Thank you for doing these.
I had to pause and say thank you to Bdubs for being so raw and open with us. When you started talking about your 3rd daughter it broke my heart and ive heard you talking about it before. Im sure there are people struggling who can find this helpful and we really appreciate you. ❤❤
I’m good with the splitting up! It means we get 2+ hours of Bdubs instead of 1! I wouldn’t expect you guys to break up how your content works in terms of length just so I get get all of it now. Now I get more next week!
I love watching Bdubs, his energy and positivity is always so infectious. Even when he's talking about the more candid parts of his life. Thank you so much for this, it was a fantastic episode. I'm a pretty new listener to this podcast. Not sure if you've had him on, but I'd love to see one with Rendog
I very nearly started crying at work listening to Bdubs talk about that horrible loss again. I suspected it might come up, and I thought I was ready for it, but every time I hear it, I just feel so much empathy for Bdubs. It's so hard to even relive that as a viewer, I can't imagine how much harder it is for Bdubs to recount that.
I love the set-up that BDubs had, he was making eye contact with both Imp and Skizz when speaking to them and also eye contact with the camera. That is true craftsmanship.
I've been a BDubs subscriber for a while and I have to say that after watching this "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for watching. I love ya to death and we'll see you in the next episode." hits on a much deeper level. Thank you for your vulenerablility and all the fun stories. Thank you Imp and Skizz for giving us a more personal look at the other Hermits.
Bdubs is one of the sweetest RUclipsrs I know. His audience is insanely diverse and it brings people together I feel. I'm 14 myself, and I'll see people older than me and younger sharing a wholesome moment.
The way bdubs is angled towards them on the couch and impulse’s mic arm makes it seem like it’s attached to bdubs’ mic as well. It makes it seem like he’s really there. I appreciate the effort ❤
I’ve commented on the video in the past about when you lost your daughter Bdubs but just wanted to say again watching this video here. Earlier that year my wife and I had a miscarriage and lost a child ourselves and it was incredibly hard, and I mean I loved watching your vlogs and seeing you be dad and a husband and I admired you for that but when you shared that story back then it helped me see that my struggles I was having wasn’t unwarranted, like Skizz said people want us to man up and get back to work keep going etc. and you really helped me through those emotions and that struggle and I felt connected to one of my favourite people that I really looked up to. Thank you for everything you do and I am grateful for you and what you do.
I already knew Bdubs' wife was cool from her participation in his advertising bits, but today I learned she's a friggin HERO and we wouldn't have tall funny voice man without her. Rock on queen Doubleo. 👑
I remember when Bdubs posted the video about Miss Ivy. It was the first time I sob cried for someone I didn't really know. I knew intimately all the pain and loss, 7 years prior.. it's still difficult at times. I'm glad you didn't throw in the towel, bdubs. We strive to make our parents proud, until we have to make life successful to honor of our children. So their too short life wasn't in vain. ❤️ Great podcast guys. Much needed today.
Oh, and yes, I think anyone who is self-employed, tinkering about with entrepreneurship can relate to the "my brain doesn't stop" problem, and learning how to relax. I ran my own little company for a while and it never really was enough to pay the bills, but I still had to keep at it. I still can't relax, since I work contract work and I'm never sure when that will stop working and I get stuck with a few months that we have to live off of savings. It's just part of being a provider.
Wow I didn’t expect to cry clicking onto this podcast. My respect for Bdubs I thought was maxed but it just reached a new level. You are doing your sweet baby girl justice 🤍 she would be so proud of how happy her daddy makes the world in her honor
Thank you Bdubs for the open and vulnerable discussion! Some people seem like they would rather die than actually just talk about what is real to their experience but I think it's so important especially in the social media world where it seems like everyone puts on a facade of the life highlight reel.
July 7th 2017 I lost my 6 mth old son Bowen this podcast spoke to me in such a meaningful way I love what bdubs does and who he is and what this has made him into because it is so easy to just give up. But we as fathers need to keep loving and living. Thank you for the vulnerability and just being you.
Wow... I'm that 14 year old that turns 26 on the 9th of Jan 2024, I haven't got kids or my own family but I've just started making my own videos primarily because of Bdubs. I have so much respect for that man. Thanks for the podcast Imp and Skizz, this was a great one!
Oh man. Discovering Hermits only a few months ago feels like such a personal crime! I'm so glad I know about them now because every one of them is so unique. Bdubs, thank you for being so kind and sharing some of your story.
Well, this is the first episode I absolutely sobbed. Even knowing that story before now, seeing his emotion was heartbreaking and inspirational. I miscarried my 2nd child so this hit home.
It's so easy to love BDubs because he is so relatable. Millions adore him yet he sees himself as just another person the same way many of us see ourselves. And I can relate so hard about receiving a gift or even smallest of accolades makes me highly uncomfortable. But enjoy acting a fool to keep people entertained and to make others laugh. I very much adore this man 😊 Edit: bdubs wife I know will never read this but from one mother to another I think you're an amazing woman and an amazing mother ❤
What I love about Bdubs. He pulls others up with himself. He puts so much energy into helping others shine, I can't help but admire that. The way he backs up jokes and bits, just so cool, and a nice show of his character
I have always been blown away by Bdubs and Mrs Bdubs being willing to share that vulnerable part of their lives. I always cry, but it's so inspiring to see someone who is on the other side of a very dark time. The hurt may always be there, but it doesn't have to rule your life.
As a now 25 year old, with 2 children it is very surreal to me that I started watching Bdubs when he was still relatively small. Minecraft was my favorite thing at the time but I'm also grateful to him because he introduced me to the NBA through his old NBA 2K playthroughs. The way he brought his energy to every game he played, just remembering it feels like it was yesterday watching them but it was nearly 8 years ago at this point. He truly is a generational talent and I'm so glad to be a fan of his
You know I think I love this man even more now. Absolutely privileged to hear these stories and if there is ever a irl minecon I'm getting a hug off skizz, the greatest high five off impulse and I'm giving bdubs a hug! This was an amazing episode and I cant/have to wait for part 2!
Bdubs's voice is top notch! "You'll speak when spoken to" that was an instant classic. Even the in video ads that Bdubs produces are a joy to watch and have classic phrases that come up from time to time "she gaming"
I had started playing Minecraft around the end of Season 6, and as I settled into Hermitcraft as very relatable content, remember Bdubs' vid where he talked about his daughter. It compelled me to dig back farther, and I discovered he had uploaded all these nutty IRL fam vids. The one that sticks the most is him trimming back facial growth into multiple shapes while polling the missus on the look. Holy crap that was hilarious.
Watching this video made me think of a moment from Hermitcraft Season 6. During the Civil War, in the middle of the final battle, Bdubs left to go pick up his daughter from school. Not being anywhere close enough to have kids of my own, I remember thinking “Wow, this guy chose to do something incredibly mundane he probably did every day for his kids over an extremely important moment for his job? Weird.” Now I realize that that moment was him putting his kids above his work, and always ensuring that they come first no matter what. What a genuinely great dude
Thank you, BDubs, for opening up, making yourself so vulnerable & sharing your family's story with us. Didn't expect to cry in the gym today, but grateful for it. Been where you are.
That fact that Bdubs brought up GenyB is amazing because half the time, I feel like the Hermits don't really acknowledge him at all. I am not sure what happened between the Hermits and him, but i'm really happy to hear that Bdubs still talks to him and such. Very cool.
I don't think anything really happened between them. Truth of the matter is, Genny left very early on in the real development of Hermitcraft. He set up the server, invited the other people who would lay the groundwork, and moved on to Mindcrack. The server was slightly in disarray, lots of people joining and leaving, and it was Xisuma who took that and made it into Hermitcraft as it is now. Most of the people from the GenerikB era have moved on from Hermitcraft, I believe you can count the active members from that era on one hand, so the Hermits just don't have much of a close connection to him in that way
Being fairly newer to the Hermitcraft community in general(since season 8), I never knew about this part of Bdubs’ story. I always had a deep admiration for Bdubs ever since I started watching his content, now it has grown so much more ❤
I remember watching b-dubs video about their daughter and it broke my heart I had a three year old at the time and couldn’t imagine what they were going through.
came in here for the laughs but leaving with so much tears 😭 the way he talks about his struggles juggling content creation and his family was something I never expected of him being one of the funniest youtuber out there. Bdubs is such an admirable family guy, huge respect to this man. 🙌
The first time I saw Bdubs was him falling down to Iskall, then they collabed together with Iskall building a home in his village base with a yes or no question that Bdubs failed, sending him down a pit to die from fall damage. I was an immediate fan and have been ever since. I watched that S6 episode where Bdubs talked about his youngest and eventually the algorithm put “Why Pray for Bdubs” in front of me. I bought the Ivy Rose white sweater in support. Yet I still cried and cried hearing him talk about it again, all the way to the end of the video. One of the things I respect so much about Bdubs is his true partnership and respect given to his wife. He is such a stand up guy and a truly great role model. Looking forward to part 2.
Amazing start of the year with Bdubs. He took us on a journey, opened up about hard parts of his life gave us life lessons, career insights and laughter. He's such a humble guy but has this "I am perfect" humor that clearly is self-deprecating, so funny. He's very entertaining and not just his personality but also his editing and content. His builds are awe-inspiring... I should add more praise to make him more uncomfortable lol. Excited for part 2
Bdubs, I teared up during this. Not because of what happened, but because of how you looked like you were about to cry the entire time. I REALLY wanted to go across the country and give him the BIGGEST HUG he’s ever had!❤❤❤🥺🥺🥺
I recently stumbled across the "Why Pray for Bdubs?" video he posted about the tragic circumstances with his third daughter. Having two children myself, I can't even imagine how hard that time was for him. It's incredible that he was able to find his way back, and after learning about that part of his life I came to appreciate his content even more. A new Bdubs video is an event for me.
The fact Bdubs makes contact still for us today in memory of his daughter is a gut punch and I’m proud to say this man is my role model and idol. He is what I want to strive for I want to be the man he is today. I’m also currently crying cus like my god that story man
What a gem of an episode. I already had great respect for bdubs, but after watching, that has only grown. God bless the three of you! You bring so much joy to all of us.
Always love when you have guests - and THRILLED you had Bdubs on, been waiting for that one!!! It's great to see the "human" side of our favorite creators. I have always admired Bdubs and his family centered-ness, it comes through so clearly. And takes courage to talk about/share these types of things. We all were so sad when this had happened to he and his family, and so blessed to have him return to creation when the time came. Also he's just hilarious. We even love his in-video commercials 😂 Keep the podcasts coming guys!
Bdubs is incredibly artistic and entertaining to watch and worth subbing to for his creativity and unique humor, but the wild thing is hes also such a genuine dude and role model when hes outside of playing a character especially with what hes been through- truly deserves a lot of subs but also a lot of genuine respect
I am 24 now and started my own RUclips channel when I was just 14 and eventually lost the courage to make videos due stress, watching your podcasts with Bdubs, Etho and Mumbo have really helped me rediscovered the courage to get back into making videos after years of struggling to get started on any projects Thank you and all the amazing people you continue to bring on here, you may not know it but what you do here really makes a difference for small creators, even outside the minecraft space!
That's my best buddy right there! Great interview guys, really enjoyed it!
I'd love to see you on here Genny. Bring back the b team they got work to do
Generikb, luv you!
Genny :)
Awesome to see you still supporting your friends Genny! Hope everything goes well for you
Fancy to see you here GenerikB!

Hi old people
you guys are so cute and wholesome
Never thought this 36 year old dad would be sat here crying to an Imp and Skizz podcast. Thank you for sharing your story, BDub
Hard same!
Seriously, I am a 42 year old Mom who watches Hermitcraft and the Life serious and this guy so hard, but in the best possible way. Love can get you through anything and BDubs shows that.

45 year old dad and has introduced my 8 year old to hermitcraft... love Bdubs
I am 40 and have watched Bdubs from the beginning and enjoyed every second of it.
I really didn't expect Bdubs to talk about his 3rd daughter, but I'm glad he still dedicates and will continue to dedicate the happiness he brings to other people to her memory.
From the guy who comments “we want bdubs!” every week: thank you!! I already listened this morning on Spotify at the gym. If any of the three of you see this, again, thank you and keep up the great work!
It was a great suggestion; bdub’s smile is so contagious! ❤❤
i love how we all went from soft minecraft fanboys to hard working gym-going men
not just you, I did that too lol
I absolutely love Bdubs’ camera angle it looks like he’s actually looking at skizz and impulse ☺️🥳🎉
And at the camera we're looking out of too, I get the feeling that he worked on that before with them, maybe even putting stickers or something on where the different things he wanted to look at were. Unless Bdubs has some sort of ultrawide monitor where it's wide enough for that.
it even looks like his mic is on the other end of Impulses mic arm
Same. The attention to detail was super impressive here.
Makes Bdubs look taller than them lol 😂
@@MichiZlogs"IM NOT SHORT!!!!"
Bdubs' mic matches up with the end of Impulse's stand so well it played a mind trick on me
Wow thanks for pointing that out. It's actually kinda cool.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's brain made that connection.
I thought he was in the room for a second!
Oh god yes! I'm glad somebody commented this It was sooo good I thought they're making it look like so they provided him his mike even tho it's vid call xD
And well staged with bDubs looking like he's looking at them even while on screen and then also looking to our, the audience's camera while still on screen. Even pointing with the cliffhanger line at the end. Well done on the set up. Really adds to it.
"In part two, I'll tell em a bit about my OF."
Bdubs is such a trip 😂
I can’t believe he went there! That was hilarious!!
What's OF?

@teentraveler1790 Only Fans, BDubs teases us with it right at the end.
@@teentraveler1790Its onlyfans, a page where people post… explicit pictures of themselves and make people pay for them. Pretty messed up stuff
I loved how Bdubs would zoom past random players on his horse and he would just say "NYAAaaoooooow"
Bdubs has such a story. He’s the silliest goofiest man with such a depth of sincerity. I cry every time I hear his story. As a mom who was told I have a high chance of my baby having Trisomy 18, I know a bit about how that feels. I got lucky, but there was a week I didn’t know. Thank you for talking about that. It just shows how huge your heart is.
I had totally forgotten about his daughter. Wow that story hit like a ton of bricks. Had to take a 10 min break. How strong he became. Something on God and family could help him through. Extremely beautiful showing of love.
Favorite B-Dubs line ever, "You'll speak when spoken to!"
I just have to say that I'm not bothered at all when you guys split the guest appearances into two episodes. It's the opposite. When I'm sad that the episode is about to end and you say that there will be more it's the best thing ever. Yay, more Bdubs next week!
Ditto…we just have to practice patience knowing the episode is already been recorded but we have to wait a week! LOL
agreed!
I came to see this comment and agree!!
Exactly! I also love that the two episodes usually show two different sides of the guest because I like learning more about the person in general rather than just the RUclips side of them!
Same here. I like to listen when I'm doing chores.
I had no idea how much we should be thanking bdub’s wife for giving him the push to take RUclips seriously. How awesome it must be to have support from her!
They used to do vlogs, and she was always so great.
I watched bdubs for a long time, and when he told us about ivy, I was sobbing at my computer. Just had my own daughter, I think she was like 8 months old at the time. I couldn't imagine as a father going through that then, and still can't. When his first video came out after, i cried again. I knew hed made it through, and found a reason to keep going. He's always been such an amazing man, and he's someone whom I've tried to be more like.
Love you man. Hell, all three of you are amazing. Thank you for consistent inspiration, even as a 36 year old.
Well said!
Hermitcraft has put together a group of amazing humans, they are just good humans and I love them all.
Epic. Bdubs isn't just an entertainer, he's a genuine role model.
Hearing bdubs sing. Just further pushes my thoughts that the hermits need to make a band.
At least more colab songs that the amazing fans can "play" whit!
(Make animation for, remake and mix)
Xisuma bass, bdubs guitar and vocals, impulse on drums? Then Joe can do his haiku reading sessions too! Am I missing anyone?
@@TiffaniDuttonFalse plays the Bass too iirc. And X on the guitar feels more fitting somehow. I think there’s more but I can’t really remember haha
@TiffaniDutton wells knight can rap.
Grian mite say he can't sing, but I'll put him on vocal backups anyway
Bdubs is the best. I remember the video he released about his daughter when they found out and I cried. Not gonna lie, I just cried again. One of the best things about creators like Bdubs or Scar or TFC or any of the other peeps, you all are part of the family even if you don't know us, we feel like we know you. We all appreciate you for being part of our lives.

The strongest people are those who turn adversity into drive. The Bdubs' and Scar's of the world who are faced with such tremendous adversity and see it not as an obstacle but as a motivator to put as much good into the world as possible. It is beyond inspiring to me to see someone like Bdubs turn what for some would be the most devastating tragedy into a life defining mission to keep moving forward. I cannot express enough how grateful and lucky I am to have role models like Bdubs. @Skizz you said you are seeing a new side of Bdubs today and I want to challenge that a bit. I think the fire that this trauma instilled in him is very evident in every recording. I think it's clear that his passion and drive show through every time he sits down to make content. Now we just have the privilege to see the source of that passion.
This comment is for BDubs.
I've watched you as a hermit crafter/youtuber for several years. I have a living son with Trisomy 13. Your story brought me to tears and touched my heart so deeply because I know exactly what it is to be on the receiving end of those conversations. Thank you so very much for sharing. I am so happy that you've found a way through the grief to bring so much joy to your videos and community is a really beautiful legacy. From one T13 family to another, I wish for continued strength to you and your family even as the years continue to go by.
It’s kinda strange but I almost view Bdubs as a father figure in my life. I watched him through some very dark times and his advice during building with Bdubs planted seeds for getting out of em. He’s one of the goats of Minecraft let’s plays. And his cities skylines series I’ve rewatched twice or three times. He’s a king and his view on family really inspires me.
That's exactly how I feel about impy and skizz
Same on all parties. They are bloody goals.
Skizz is right. The pedestal for bdubs just raised even higher. His willingness to be so vulnerable and raw. Thank you gentlemen.
I’d really like to see Jimmy on the podcast next
YES💯
yes for sure
YESSS!!! I hope they see this 💯💯
It could be interesting one. See serious side of Jimmy
Hard agree
100%
Damn. Wasn't expecting something this deep. Especially the daughter part really moved me since I hadn't heard that before. Just makes me respect Bdubs even more.
10:59-Right? Like when Impulse volunteered as tribute and BDubs was like....to be a horse? Loved that
Hi Which episode was 11:25 this during the Life Series cause I don't recall this 🤔
Best interview yet. As a mother, I can’t tell you how much respect I have for BDubds. I knew about Ivy, but wasn’t sure he would mention her….his strength and ability to turn that pain into a tribute in her honour is one of the most admirable qualities in him. His character and strength are why I will always be a loyal viewer! Looking forward to part 2!
I know it's a very long shot but.... an Etho interview?? Nothing about his personal life obviously but i would be curious to hear his thoughts about content creation and how he started.
as a long time etho fan, that would be amazing, but it will never happen:/
@@beamshooter why do you say that?
I could very much see Etho doing a faceless interview!
Look how Anthony Padilla deals with it for his faceless interviewees. I'm sure they could do something similar. Even if it's just Etho's MC skin sitting in a room lol
X was on here
Oh, BDubs. I, too, have lost a child. I feel ya, man.
And thank you for the way you honor your daughter's memory, because we get to SEE it in the content you create and share with us. ❤
❤
By far the best and most personal interview yet. I'm 55 and i cried with Bdubs. So proud of you for giving your daughter every chance for success. Thank you Imp and Skiz, I love you Bdubs.
I’m so excited! Having this as the first podcast of 2024 is a good start
This title did not mention a part 1, so I was worried there wouldn't be a part 2! I'm so glad that we get to hear more of Bdubs next week and this is, in fact, only part 1 of 2! ❤🎉
This is my first Imp and Skizz Podcast to watch, but I'm so very glad I did. I'm a 46 year old woman who has felt lost my entire life. I'm single, no kids, and unable to work for a variety of reasons. But just at the end of last year I was finally given a solid diagnosis of ADHD, and put on ADHD meds for the first time in my life.
As my Mother has said, I just never found my feet, so to speak. But now I finally feel like maybe I can figure out what to do with my life.
I've also been a lifelong PC gamer. Or rather, lifelong if you consider I didn't have access to a computer until I was a teenager. 😅 Gaming has always been my escape from reality. I've done a bit of streaming and video making in the past. But now I'm trying to take up streaming more often. Dunno if I'll ever gain any kind of an audience, but it gives me something to do, and a platform to talk to people.
I guess what I'm saying is I can relate to so many of the things you guys talked about, especially as you're close to my age. I love all three of you guys, and have watched a lot of your content. But now I love all you guys even more. Thanks for sharing your stories, and giving someone like me some insight and inspiration for where I might want to take my own path. 💜
2 months in the future i hope youre settling and doing well!
5 month check in, hope you are continuing to thrive! Warm wishes to you and yours.
I still remember when Bdubs posted the "Pray for BDubs" video about his daughter. I watched it immediately, and I cried almost throughout the entire thing. Listening to BDubs recount part of that story today brought back those memories (and some of those tears), and it serves as a good reminder to me of how the most tragic things we can go through can help to make us stronger if we just keep going and come out the other side. I especially loved today how he said that he didn't want the memory of his daughter to be the reason he quit doing this...
I've looked up to him and now I look up to him even more. Thank you Imp & Skizz for giving him somewhere to tell his story again.
I'm 31 years old with a 13 year old daughter (Yes, we were young) Whenever bdubs talks about losing their daughter its brings tears to my eyes, i couldnt imagine losing a child. Much love and respect for you bdubs, love your content and your ability/motivation to push forward.
I laughed, I cried and I said thank you BDubs for having the strength to carry on and thank you for showing us your heart.
I took the ‘suck it up’ mentality a bit too much to heart, to the point where I am no longer me, I have been lost in a shell of my former self through trauma. I HAD to put on a happy face through my depression a few years back. Now, I’m having to do that masking again, no one knows, apart from you who reads this comment. Much Love
bdubs has matured so much since starting out on youtube and he's so wise, what a good listen!
Realizing most of the hermits are above 30 feels unreal and seeing their growth since they started youtube feels so amazing to watch.
I love the Hermit's community they have. It truly is a family.
I totally agree, a bunch of totally amazing people who each have their own meaningful story, it would be impossible to hate any of them
I was fourteen when i started watching this man, i'm 24 now, can't say it enough he's an awesome, great person. And here i am crying again hearing his story.
1:00:32 i went back about a year ago and watched the video of Bdubbs explaining this story and i cried like a baby.
As a creator who just finished their first “official” year as a RUclipsr- this hits. Hard. Every word from Bdubs, Imp, and Skizz was like listening to the tape that’s been on a loop in my head for the past 12 months. And it just further increases my respect for creators that burn bright while not burning out. Thank you 3 for this episode, I look forward to more like it. Subscribed :)
We are blessed with the Minecraft Bob Ross himself
I really appreciate this podcast. Especially when things got deep and sad and reflective. I had a really tough 2023 losing my job my father, my daughter having brain surgery, and my wife losing her grandmother. Sometimes it's difficult to roll with the valleys that come. But hearing that other people have also existed in those valleys makes it more manageable especially when it's people that you have watched for some time and feel connected to. Thank you for doing these.
❤❤❤
My condolences and best wishes to you and your family. 💜
Much love to your family. Sending you strength to push forward.
Can relate. 2023 just wasn't my year either, also due to familial loss.
I had to pause and say thank you to Bdubs for being so raw and open with us. When you started talking about your 3rd daughter it broke my heart and ive heard you talking about it before. Im sure there are people struggling who can find this helpful and we really appreciate you. ❤❤
I didn’t know I needed a singing Bdubs playing guitar. I need to hear his music!! He sounds so good!
I cried back then with B dubs and his daughters passing, and did again today with him.
I’m good with the splitting up! It means we get 2+ hours of Bdubs instead of 1! I wouldn’t expect you guys to break up how your content works in terms of length just so I get get all of it now. Now I get more next week!
I love watching Bdubs, his energy and positivity is always so infectious. Even when he's talking about the more candid parts of his life. Thank you so much for this, it was a fantastic episode.
I'm a pretty new listener to this podcast. Not sure if you've had him on, but I'd love to see one with Rendog
I very nearly started crying at work listening to Bdubs talk about that horrible loss again. I suspected it might come up, and I thought I was ready for it, but every time I hear it, I just feel so much empathy for Bdubs. It's so hard to even relive that as a viewer, I can't imagine how much harder it is for Bdubs to recount that.
I love the set-up that BDubs had, he was making eye contact with both Imp and Skizz when speaking to them and also eye contact with the camera. That is true craftsmanship.
I've been a BDubs subscriber for a while and I have to say that after watching this "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for watching. I love ya to death and we'll see you in the next episode." hits on a much deeper level. Thank you for your vulenerablility and all the fun stories. Thank you Imp and Skizz for giving us a more personal look at the other Hermits.
Bdubs is one of the sweetest RUclipsrs I know. His audience is insanely diverse and it brings people together I feel. I'm 14 myself, and I'll see people older than me and younger sharing a wholesome moment.
The way bdubs is angled towards them on the couch and impulse’s mic arm makes it seem like it’s attached to bdubs’ mic as well. It makes it seem like he’s really there. I appreciate the effort ❤
I’ve commented on the video in the past about when you lost your daughter Bdubs but just wanted to say again watching this video here.
Earlier that year my wife and I had a miscarriage and lost a child ourselves and it was incredibly hard, and I mean I loved watching your vlogs and seeing you be dad and a husband and I admired you for that but when you shared that story back then it helped me see that my struggles I was having wasn’t unwarranted, like Skizz said people want us to man up and get back to work keep going etc. and you really helped me through those emotions and that struggle and I felt connected to one of my favourite people that I really looked up to.
Thank you for everything you do and I am grateful for you and what you do.
❤️
All the laughs that bdubs give me mean so much. Remembering Ivy Rose 🌹❤
I already knew Bdubs' wife was cool from her participation in his advertising bits, but today I learned she's a friggin HERO and we wouldn't have tall funny voice man without her. Rock on queen Doubleo. 👑
I remember when Bdubs posted the video about Miss Ivy. It was the first time I sob cried for someone I didn't really know. I knew intimately all the pain and loss, 7 years prior.. it's still difficult at times. I'm glad you didn't throw in the towel, bdubs. We strive to make our parents proud, until we have to make life successful to honor of our children. So their too short life wasn't in vain. ❤️ Great podcast guys. Much needed today.
Yessss, I can sense Jerry Lewis and Looney Toons in those iconic BDubs moments. Great interview, thank you for working this out!
Oh, and yes, I think anyone who is self-employed, tinkering about with entrepreneurship can relate to the "my brain doesn't stop" problem, and learning how to relax. I ran my own little company for a while and it never really was enough to pay the bills, but I still had to keep at it. I still can't relax, since I work contract work and I'm never sure when that will stop working and I get stuck with a few months that we have to live off of savings. It's just part of being a provider.
Wow I didn’t expect to cry clicking onto this podcast. My respect for Bdubs I thought was maxed but it just reached a new level. You are doing your sweet baby girl justice 🤍 she would be so proud of how happy her daddy makes the world in her honor
Yup, I cried again over Bdubs' daughter's story. Yes, Bdubs, you are bringing joy to lives. We love you ❤
you made WHAT?! 19:50 lol
LMAO I love that whenever anyone mentions "circle in Minecraft" Mysty will appear like some kinda Minecraft Bloody Mary" :D
Thank you Bdubs for the open and vulnerable discussion! Some people seem like they would rather die than actually just talk about what is real to their experience but I think it's so important especially in the social media world where it seems like everyone puts on a facade of the life highlight reel.
July 7th 2017 I lost my 6 mth old son Bowen this podcast spoke to me in such a meaningful way I love what bdubs does and who he is and what this has made him into because it is so easy to just give up. But we as fathers need to keep loving and living. Thank you for the vulnerability and just being you.
Wow... I'm that 14 year old that turns 26 on the 9th of Jan 2024, I haven't got kids or my own family but I've just started making my own videos primarily because of Bdubs. I have so much respect for that man. Thanks for the podcast Imp and Skizz, this was a great one!
My heart broke for Bdubs in this episode , as a dad of 4 it really hit home 😢
Oh man. Discovering Hermits only a few months ago feels like such a personal crime! I'm so glad I know about them now because every one of them is so unique. Bdubs, thank you for being so kind and sharing some of your story.
Well, this is the first episode I absolutely sobbed. Even knowing that story before now, seeing his emotion was heartbreaking and inspirational. I miscarried my 2nd child so this hit home.
It's so easy to love BDubs because he is so relatable. Millions adore him yet he sees himself as just another person the same way many of us see ourselves. And I can relate so hard about receiving a gift or even smallest of accolades makes me highly uncomfortable. But enjoy acting a fool to keep people entertained and to make others laugh. I very much adore this man 😊
Edit: bdubs wife I know will never read this but from one mother to another I think you're an amazing woman and an amazing mother ❤
Every time I hear bdubs talk, it gives me more respect for the man. Made a grown man cry today! I really appreciate that guy
I love that they have a genuine friendship. I think that is why their endeavors are successful.
What I love about Bdubs. He pulls others up with himself. He puts so much energy into helping others shine, I can't help but admire that.
The way he backs up jokes and bits, just so cool, and a nice show of his character
I have always been blown away by Bdubs and Mrs Bdubs being willing to share that vulnerable part of their lives. I always cry, but it's so inspiring to see someone who is on the other side of a very dark time. The hurt may always be there, but it doesn't have to rule your life.
As a now 25 year old, with 2 children it is very surreal to me that I started watching Bdubs when he was still relatively small. Minecraft was my favorite thing at the time but I'm also grateful to him because he introduced me to the NBA through his old NBA 2K playthroughs. The way he brought his energy to every game he played, just remembering it feels like it was yesterday watching them but it was nearly 8 years ago at this point. He truly is a generational talent and I'm so glad to be a fan of his
You know I think I love this man even more now. Absolutely privileged to hear these stories and if there is ever a irl minecon I'm getting a hug off skizz, the greatest high five off impulse and I'm giving bdubs a hug! This was an amazing episode and I cant/have to wait for part 2!
Bdubs's voice is top notch! "You'll speak when spoken to" that was an instant classic.
Even the in video ads that Bdubs produces are a joy to watch and have classic phrases that come up from time to time "she gaming"
I had started playing Minecraft around the end of Season 6, and as I settled into Hermitcraft as very relatable content, remember Bdubs' vid where he talked about his daughter.
It compelled me to dig back farther, and I discovered he had uploaded all these nutty IRL fam vids. The one that sticks the most is him trimming back facial growth into multiple shapes while polling the missus on the look. Holy crap that was hilarious.
Watching this video made me think of a moment from Hermitcraft Season 6.
During the Civil War, in the middle of the final battle, Bdubs left to go pick up his daughter from school. Not being anywhere close enough to have kids of my own, I remember thinking “Wow, this guy chose to do something incredibly mundane he probably did every day for his kids over an extremely important moment for his job? Weird.” Now I realize that that moment was him putting his kids above his work, and always ensuring that they come first no matter what. What a genuinely great dude
Thank you, BDubs, for opening up, making yourself so vulnerable & sharing your family's story with us. Didn't expect to cry in the gym today, but grateful for it. Been where you are.
That fact that Bdubs brought up GenyB is amazing because half the time, I feel like the Hermits don't really acknowledge him at all. I am not sure what happened between the Hermits and him, but i'm really happy to hear that Bdubs still talks to him and such. Very cool.
I don't think anything really happened between them. Truth of the matter is, Genny left very early on in the real development of Hermitcraft. He set up the server, invited the other people who would lay the groundwork, and moved on to Mindcrack. The server was slightly in disarray, lots of people joining and leaving, and it was Xisuma who took that and made it into Hermitcraft as it is now. Most of the people from the GenerikB era have moved on from Hermitcraft, I believe you can count the active members from that era on one hand, so the Hermits just don't have much of a close connection to him in that way
Being fairly newer to the Hermitcraft community in general(since season 8), I never knew about this part of Bdubs’ story. I always had a deep admiration for Bdubs ever since I started watching his content, now it has grown so much more ❤
I remember watching b-dubs video about their daughter and it broke my heart I had a three year old at the time and couldn’t imagine what they were going through.
If people are curious about the video bdubs mentions, it’s called “Why Pray for Bdubs” 6 years ago.
Bdubz is such a beautiful human being in literally every way. Iskall next??
came in here for the laughs but leaving with so much tears 😭 the way he talks about his struggles juggling content creation and his family was something I never expected of him being one of the funniest youtuber out there. Bdubs is such an admirable family guy, huge respect to this man. 🙌
The first time I saw Bdubs was him falling down to Iskall, then they collabed together with Iskall building a home in his village base with a yes or no question that Bdubs failed, sending him down a pit to die from fall damage.
I was an immediate fan and have been ever since. I watched that S6 episode where Bdubs talked about his youngest and eventually the algorithm put “Why Pray for Bdubs” in front of me.
I bought the Ivy Rose white sweater in support. Yet I still cried and cried hearing him talk about it again, all the way to the end of the video.
One of the things I respect so much about Bdubs is his true partnership and respect given to his wife. He is such a stand up guy and a truly great role model.
Looking forward to part 2.
Amazing start of the year with Bdubs. He took us on a journey, opened up about hard parts of his life gave us life lessons, career insights and laughter.
He's such a humble guy but has this "I am perfect" humor that clearly is self-deprecating, so funny. He's very entertaining and not just his personality but also his editing and content. His builds are awe-inspiring... I should add more praise to make him more uncomfortable lol. Excited for part 2
Bdubs, I teared up during this. Not because of what happened, but because of how you looked like you were about to cry the entire time. I REALLY wanted to go across the country and give him the BIGGEST HUG he’s ever had!❤❤❤🥺🥺🥺
I recently stumbled across the "Why Pray for Bdubs?" video he posted about the tragic circumstances with his third daughter. Having two children myself, I can't even imagine how hard that time was for him. It's incredible that he was able to find his way back, and after learning about that part of his life I came to appreciate his content even more. A new Bdubs video is an event for me.
The fact Bdubs makes contact still for us today in memory of his daughter is a gut punch and I’m proud to say this man is my role model and idol. He is what I want to strive for I want to be the man he is today. I’m also currently crying cus like my god that story man
What a gem of an episode. I already had great respect for bdubs, but after watching, that has only grown. God bless the three of you! You bring so much joy to all of us.
Always love when you have guests - and THRILLED you had Bdubs on, been waiting for that one!!!
It's great to see the "human" side of our favorite creators. I have always admired Bdubs and his family centered-ness, it comes through so clearly. And takes courage to talk about/share these types of things. We all were so sad when this had happened to he and his family, and so blessed to have him return to creation when the time came.
Also he's just hilarious. We even love his in-video commercials 😂
Keep the podcasts coming guys!
Bdubs is incredibly artistic and entertaining to watch and worth subbing to for his creativity and unique humor, but the wild thing is hes also such a genuine dude and role model when hes outside of playing a character especially with what hes been through- truly deserves a lot of subs but also a lot of genuine respect
Bdubs, you’ve pieced your heart back together more beautifully than anything you’ve built in Minecraft, and it shows in everything you do
I cried so hard learning about Bdubs loosing a child im only 13 but its sad to having to hear someone go through that
I was 11-12, now I’m 22, graduated, job, and Bdubs still inspires!
I honestly view when Etho and Bdubs left Minecrack as the Beatles breaking up lol
I am 24 now and started my own RUclips channel when I was just 14 and eventually lost the courage to make videos due stress, watching your podcasts with Bdubs, Etho and Mumbo have really helped me rediscovered the courage to get back into making videos after years of struggling to get started on any projects
Thank you and all the amazing people you continue to bring on here, you may not know it but what you do here really makes a difference for small creators, even outside the minecraft space!
