Plot twist: Your mother is double trolling, and your brother is the only one not fathered by the mailman.
Oh my 😮 this is it!

ISKALL THIS FEELS LIKE WALKING INTO THE MIDDLE OF A 3 HOUR LONG PODCAST WITH NO CONTEXT.
Also if you are genuinely curious, you and your brother could do a 23 and me and through related family he will show up as a half brother if that is correct!
This was like within the first hour of the stream
23 and me is a terrible idea at least in the us where it looks like insurance companies will start denying coverage if someone in your family did one and is at higher risk for problems
# msorry not sorry?
Yes, his third brother could do a DNA relatedness test with one (or more) of his brothers to determine whether they are full or half siblings. Many companies/organisations provide this service (so no need to use 23 And Me if worried about their privacy policy).
Also many countries outside the USA (particularly EU or Commonwealth) have laws that prohibit insurance companies from using/acting on data from DNA testing organisations.
In some euro countries i know that DNA testing is illegal and to get one you must go through a judge at least in France and Switzerland due to the large amount of cheating and the gov not wanting families being broken up over it.
these videos are getting more and more random and it's really hilarious
Bro the mr mailman story had me dying. 🤣🤣
Momskall was tipsy off the truth serum and spilled the beans.
And then being a year younger than Iskall, the talk about getting older really hit home and was so accurate.
It’s why live streams are the best thing sometimes 😂
Good session, I think we made a lot of progress. You'll see the $250 charge on your card in the next 3-5 business days, but I really think we should build on this next week.
This comment is criminally underrated, we need to get this pinned
Seriously 😂
My brain: "Mailman? Iskall must get an epic package delivered while live on strem" lolnope
Tbh I thought it was about the hermmitcraft mail system, and that it was about either Tango or Etho giving him something, or something to that regard in minecraft.
my grandmother was the daughter of a literal portuguese peasant in central portugal. Somehow she bougth sea front 4 bedroom apartment with priviledged view of the Tagus, while being an hairdresser. She retired at 40 because, and I quote, "a storm removed my sign and I just did not care and retired". She spent the rest of her life enjoying herself and is, technically, a millionaire in real estate.
I'm like "how...?!"
In Poland we say "mailman always knock twice"
i think there's a book with that title, regardless, i've heard that in canada too so not just poland
Same thing in Germany, only we say, "when the mailman rings the bell twice" 🙂
I don't know if I should be laughing at this or if I should be confused 😭😭😭😭
Parents OFTEN choose to not remember things that they may perceive as a negative on their image.
I was on a ladder, drilling a hole with a cordless. I was like 8, and my weak little noodle arms dropped the drill right on his face. So he gets kinda frustrated and instead of just reacting in pain, he slaps me backhanded in the Nethers. I'm 35 now and any time I've brought it up in the past he has vehemently denied that this ever happened. He is a man who can recall things perfectly (most of the time) that he ENJOYS recalling. But say something he did that was bad? Never. Ever. Happened. EVER. But doesn't just deny it happened, gets MAD if I bring it up, saying he could never have been so mean over an accident.
It is a proven phenomenon with older people (50+ years). So I 1000% believe Iskall's mom did this thing and is either choosing to, or unable to believe it happened. So, depending on which it is, that's a very interesting, if annoyingly frustrating, mental disorder called Dissociative Amnesia. Your body is constantly changing. You may stop "growing" but your body is always replacing cells, and your biology alters (which is why some people can eat shrimp for years and years and years, and then SUDDENLY develop an allergy to shellfish) and we also know that as you grow older your mind starts to fail more often. So to wrap up this ramble, yeah very likely it probably happened. I just don't understand the bit where old people get ANGRY that they forgot something BAD happening and have to get defensive about it. Ok? It happened dude, accept that you mucked up in the past, no one is perfect. But defending yourself and saying it NEVER happened really says to me anyways that you do remember and you're just denying it. So _Why_. *WHY*.
Anyways, not trying to bring any negativity, this is just an observation I've had many times over the years and thought it was interesting that this seems to be yet another shared experience I have with people around my age! I can't wait for MY mind to start falling apart lol 😬
Especially when 4 people independently remember it
That would suck - not being able to have a laugh about being backhanded in the nethers with him!
13:45 as my dad says " money may not by happiness but it is easier to be happy with a full belly then an empty one"
Money doesn’t buy happiness but prevents stress and frustration
‘Money doesn’t buy happiness, but you can rent it for a while’
Sir Terry Pratchett 🤘🏻
cant you take a dna test to prove if it was a troll or not?
This happened to me too... After my mom got divorced when I was 8 we met with a man I never saw in my life and she introduces him to me as "look this is your real dad" . When I asked her about this she said this never hapened and i was only misremebering but I know for a fact this happened. I look very difrent to my siblings and there was always a discussion I was not a full brother. I never met that man ever again...
Knew exactly what this video was about once i read the title. that stream was a gem 😂
I started balding when I was 16,shaved it all off when I was 18. I couldn't even imagine having hair now. Also, in over 30 yrs of shaving my head I've saved a lot of money on haircuts, shampoos and whatever other crap people put on their heads, lol.
I started balding at 18. One of my grandfathers, according to my mother (because he died when she was a teenager), had no hair left when he was 30. And otherwise I look almost identical to my other grandfather, who lived his entire life with a full head of hair. I tried some products to keep my hair for a while, then said screw it and now I shave my entire head every morning.
I love being bald, but the thing that still frustrates me is that my hair was GORGEOUS. Very tight curls, that when done up right, would look like the hair on a Greek statue. I still feel like I lost something really special, even though I like what I have now.
my initials are MM I think I'm your stepdad
"My best time is NOW" 🙂
I like these episodes Iskall. Variants of life storys, funny, thinkfull and entertaining.
And your approach on HCS10 is awesome.
"I don't think so Mr mother" 😂
what a revelation THAT must have been for your brother tho, like, holy dayum... thats probaly still haunting him to this day
at 9 year old too ? MAN thats a core memory
10 years your junior and never talked about money in the family so hearing that even after inflation my pay being normal is reassuring, but being broke throughout my 20s was extremely depressing as everyone else's lives progressed
Regarding aging, I know that as you age your body takes longer to recover and it becomes easier to get certain injuries, but I am looking forward to getting older. I have relatively recently entered my 30s and am looking forward to turning 40, 50 etc. Part of this may be that a lot of my friends didn't think they would live past their early 20s, but I am thankful that they are still with us and are thriving in ways they never could have predicted.
Something we all have in common is that we age and at some point we will die, may as well enjoy what we can while we can.
Well put. From someone who is soon to turn 50. 🤘🏻
I went to college a first time between 16 and 20 y.o. Later, I wanted to get a new career and went back to college. I was shocked when I realized the other students could be my children and thus... that 23 years had passed by. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that I'm mid forties. lol
Iskaall I’m drunk but I think you’re mother is a super trole
For what I give her 100% props
Now we know where Iskall got his humor!!
therapy with iskall
Iskall discovers the reverse mortgage.
Therapist here- I think your bro has a different dad based on what you said about you and your bros all remembering.
I’m 41 now and believe what you do is very important. Your job makes a difference to me.
"My best time is now" I feel that
I saw the title and the very first thing i thought is "yeah, mine came to my house too, in fact he does it 6 days a week."
I have had multiple similar experiences with my parents. They've discussed disowning me and even told me they've discussed it on one occasion and another occasion they've told me why they didn't but don't acknowledge they've said it later on.
Well, well well, who i see in recommendations? Is that iskall? I think yes.
I am 25 but when you talked about money and stuff, man that's too relatable. Always struggling, always from paycheck to paycheck, nothing saved... but I m trying to get finally some job that would make me happy, but even if that's a good motivation (like having better life, spare cash etc.) on some days (quite a lot of days) the motivation is lacking and it's so frustrating, because I m not happy with how I live and yet here I am ... always on copium I guess
Well, that did not go where I expected XD
I'm no expert, but i think when you're drawing circles in a family tree, something is seriously not ok... 😂😂
you're definetily no expert thanks
He meant it as in encircling the entries for people, i.e., encircling Iskall, and not delineating the relation.
@@Max-zo6rvwhoosh. Also learn to spell definitely
British royal families be like
Kentucky families be like that.
8yo me had things already so clear, I knew I should stay put in my age so responsabilities could never catch up to me, atlast, they did and I keep waiting for my good times to come, but hearing other people happy always gives me hope
As someone who turns 39 next month, most of this hits home.
Stop it 😂😂😂
1:13 Luckskall85 of doom
Iskall mother is iconic for this, ngl
I would 100% decide to get my genes sequenced to find out. Id be way too curious.
"My best time is now" I like that quote
I’m early 40’s and had a reunion with friends we hadn’t seen in 20 years. Grey hair, baldness, hearing aids. Granted some of us are 50’s, but man….
It doesn't matter if he is full or half he is still your brother, and your great iskall what you have done is extremely brave and if she doesn't see that , that feels like a her problem not a you one.
Iskall! You're churning out these videos like butter! No complaints though, I'm glad to have some good old Iskall content 😄❤
So iskall got his gaslighting talent from his mother, i see.
lol, moms do love to troll, like 'oh? my kids are drawing a family tree, lets mess with them and make 'em think the odd kid out is from another parent, --sits back and watches-- this is golden' moms love doing that
It would be hilarious if you all got ancestry tests for christmas, and then found out she was totally trolling.
"I don't remember how I got so old so quickly".... I turned 35 a couple of days ago and rarely could I relate more to a statement :D
time feeling faster as you get older is a very much real and explainable thing, its just perspective. as a kid the first 20 years felt like forever, its all the only reference you have for experiencing time, the more years go by the less % of time in your overall life that year is. 1 year for a 10yr is a whole 10% of that kids life, 1 yr for a 40yo is 2.5% of that person's life.
What a therapy session!
The "Oh my god" horn fits in
iskall's real life stories never fail to surprise and amuse xD
A great man told me when I was young "bald is beautiful" ~Tommy Pickles
The buying of pensioner homes is an interesting idea. The buyer would need to take out a loan/mortgage, but rent would pay for that month to month. Definitely not a get rich quick scheme.
However, I think for the pensioner it would make more sense to get a reverse mortgage or line of credit (take out a mortgage on a fully owned property). This would let them continue to own while getting cash in hand. If they have kids to inherit after they die, they can either take on the loan payments, or sell for the presumably even higher market value, pay off the loan, and still make some money from it.
this was a scam in canada a couple decades ago. ya it sounds good but it doesn't do the pensioner any good in the long run
Money does not make you happy it makes life a little easier
"M best time is now"...love it!
Thank you Iskall, i haven't been able to explain it better
Gigamom: Write MM, refuse to elaborate.
I haven't been able to catch Iskall's streams of late so clips like this are just so great. I love hearing the stories Iskall tells about Mumskall and the rest of the skall family.
Iskall will become eligible to be a Yakuza protagonist next year!
In Belgium the minimum pension you get is about 100 or 200 (like a pretty substantial amount) euros less than what retirement homes ask. So if you are older and perhaps in need of some aid in living, you have to find 200 euros a month at least. And that gets you the most basic stuff.
"Money can't buy you happiness," like so many similar platitudes was an admonition to the rich.
I'm 60. I figure another 48 yrs ahead. Thats an entire lifetime for some. I figure I am having two lives in one. Old is just the changing parameters. If this was a game we would call call it vertical growth.
M brother doesnt look anything like my parents and when I was 9 I convinced him that he was adopted.
Turns out he got looks from both our grandmothers.
We have the mail men in usa too but here in az we call him the pool boy.
It's like when my mother gaslit me for like until I was 6-7 or something telling me that I had an elder brother who lives in Arkansas.
"30 year old balding teenager"
Aah Sir Iskall, i too feel this at 36... i know im older, i can feel it lol, but i refuse to "grow up"... ill still Adult when i need to Adult but the rest of the time im still in my late teens just having fun gaming it up with friends.
Of course this could simply be a Man thing, we never truly grow up but our toys just get bigger and more dangerous.
Money can't buy you happiness but it CAN pay for your medical bills...
I'm in the same boat as you. Glad you're having fun! Thanks for the good commentary. Aging like a tasty cheese :D
green and fuzzy. lol :)
That talk about not feeling your age is so real. I am now 32. Do you think I feel a day older than 20? Hell nah. I genuinly do not.
When you are younger you can feel it, see it, experiene it. Things change so much. Once you hit 20 its all the same stuff every single day.
I feel back in the day it was very different to how it was now which is why older folk may not experience it the same way. Cause back then things were on the rise, stuff was discovered, the world largely unknown. Nowadays its all just interconnected, global, we see everything everywhere at the same time as the rest of the world.
Bro what, your mother cheated? 😭
This explains Iskall-Man
Oh geez this is hilarious iskall! 😆
It's definitely true that money can buy happiness, up until you can cover your costs of living and leisure, and live the life you want to with minimal stress. After that it has diminishing returns, and if you keep chasing the money regardless you are now costing your happiness.
Thank you to whoever mentioned this in a different episode. I like the existential discussion. I thought this would just be Iskall and another hermit failing to rp for 10 minutes. Very cool
Relateskall gg. I am 31 and most of the things you are saying are perfectly relatable . Like hate thinking about saving money but its necessity of the age you are in .
Its interesting to hear other people's experiences with being a teen, for me 17 was the absolute worst time, my mom died, i already had trauma from earlier events. I was often bullied in school and very depressed
6:30 Sorry to hear that but I'm glad you have come to terms with it.
Reverse mortgage is what you’re describing
This hits, im also losing my beautiful curls but my brother was not swapped at birth by the nurse sorry.
I've seen people feel horrible because their friends all seem to be "doing better them" but it always turns out their family are footing the bills. Its brutal but there's a clear difference between those with support and those on their own.
Understand that all too well. I’m 36 and I don’t know how that happened 😂😂
Im 19 and iskall is scarring me
Saying something isn’t a “real job” is so silly. If someone’s willing to pay for something, who cares?
Theres a different way to think about that whole 17 again question...
If it was to go back to WHEN i was 17, absolutely not...
If it was to BE 17 physically and mentally, absolutely not...
Now if it was to physically be 17 again but retain my "knowledge and wisdom" and adult freedoms then hell yeah sign me up! My back didnt hurt nearly as bad back then as it does now after some physical labor. XD
From a 24 year old who saves money every month its sometimes a combo of anxiety, luck, and a good deal of gaslighting employers
WHAT?
Thanks for Sharing 👍👍✌
Generational wealth is real. Most people that are crushing it didn't start in the same place as the general or low income public. It's not a knock, it's just real. My grandmother has a reverse mortgage, she got help when she needed it most and when she dies, her house is already owned by a company. She's not rich, she doesn't have anything to inherit anyway, but now she was able to use her equity before death. It can be a good thing.
I definitely have a favorite brother. He's also my only brother but even so he'll never be my least favorite brother.
19:04 most people at that age aren't able to travel, not financially but physically.
To the people who say "money cant fix everything"
Money can fix every pressing problem i have at the moment
Sure that might be true, but you will never be satisfied. There will always be some higher place you could get to, I think that's what they really mean by that saying is that it won’t satisfy you. You could have all the money in the world and, sure, you might not have to worry about things like bills, but you'll always have that craving for social validation, however little, it's human nature. And what you will end up realizing is that there is no earthly thing that can satisfy us completely, you could always have a bigger house, or a newer car, or a better degree, but those things will never make you forever happy. Why do you think there are so many celebrities that just go downhill after becoming famous? Think of all the depressing songs by popular artist about how they thought that once they became famous, it would be fulfilling only to realize it was never enough? It happens over and over again until people become bitter and start blaming money. it's where the saying 'money is the root of all evil' comes from, but that's actually not true it's the LOVE of money that is the root of the problem. The paper itself is not evil, but the lines people will cross to get it are.
@@theBumblingBudgieyeah but I will be free to search for whatever satisfies me mentally and spiritually, rather than searching for food in my stomach or heat in the house or putting every penny I earn in a landlord's pocket. If I don't have to worry about those things I can focus on what actually makes me happy. Rather than risk deteriorating mental and physical health due to stress over food and homelessness.
@Flanneryschickens yes and that is a huge blessing for the people who can afford to live whithout that worry, but most people will always be struggling financially, and the hard part is, alot live their whole lives like that, and so that's why we need to give thanks for what we have now, even if it would be so much easier if we didn't have that stress, but the truth is we do, so we still have to make the most of the little things or we will end up living our whole lives wanting more and not being thankful for what we already have
I think being 16 years old would've been a good time for me if i didn't live in a tiny village where none of my friends live and being dependent on eighter sleeping over at my friends house to do stupid stuff with them or always being driven around by my parents to get anywhere out of the village.
Yeah, 16 could've been great
Iskall never heard of DNA tests
This was good , some good life experiences, and advices , thanks iskall , this was good
i'm the same age as you, and i totally feel the same way you do about it.
🤣🤣 Mr Mail Man! Hahaha oh dear
Edit: when Iskall says he is an enjoyer of trolling…. It’s clearly genetic 😂
Also. I’m 46 and can relate to this feeling of how did this happen?!
At the end of the day, you’re an adult, you are paying your bills, independent and enjoying your life. That should be the goal of every parent when it comes to their kids x
I don’t want to say it’s nice but listening to you being brokeskall (in the sense you’re being frugal, that family vacation was priceless for sure!) but I’m kinda feeling the dollar stress off an avg US income it’s really insane because I know I’m doing so much better than most but I’m still struggling
Never do equity release in your home. A lady across the street did it and they can demand you to pay for things in your home like a new heating system. By the time she died she had nothing left because they’d had her spending it on the house. Haha. It’s a common joke in nothern England to say about a kid being fathered by the post man or the milk man. My grandma says “it’s a rare child in our village that knows its father”. Ancestry/23andme is your friend.
Love your vids mate! Big inspiration of mine :)
