When impules talked about learning to gift wrap and being amazing at it, all that rang in my head was gem saying "impules' love language is gift giving" thats so cute :)
Fired for being too sick to call in sick... It's an important lesson to learn young, being good to the company when they need you does not guarantee they will be good to you when you need them.
Staying level headed when things get serious is one of Skizz's superpowers. It's why people gravitate to him as a leader. It's also why it's so entertaining to see him let loose when he's having fun, the screams when stuff goes awry in non-serious situations are a hilarious contrast
when impulse is talking around the 40 minute mark, there's a small piece of the insulating wall covering that's hanging down and like flapping around in the wind over his left shoulder. i couldn't look at anything else from that point onwards. adhd is fun. EDIT: SKIZZ ON THE BALL!!
I didn't notice it I even rewinded back a few times after he grabbed it to see what it was because I didn't see it, looked like he was holding nothing I don't think my eye sight is good enough to see whatever it was
When Skizz mentioned the Forklift Certification for Costco, as a current forklift operator for Costco, it is 40 hours in training outside the store with a trainer present before you can enter the store with the machine, then another 40 hours inside/outside the store driving before you can be evaluated for the final sign off. So he went through 80+ hours of training just to ensure the correct items were dropped for his peeps to stock. Which solves problems that shows up once or twice a week.
When I was going to school in AZ I actually got fired from my pizza delivery job because my car got stolen. 😂 When the police found my car a couple days later, I called my boss and he just said “don’t come back” I think he thought I was lying! 😅
I'm currently in a completely dead-end job, just trying to save up money for medical bills and moving. It's a nice reminder that everyone has to work sh*tty jobs occasionally, and it always gets better. 😅 Just gotta stay sane for a little longer
Let's see if YT allows this- For medical bills try: The PAN Foundation or Dollar For. For moving expenses try Modest Needs, Move, The Housing Industry Foundation, Salvation Army, and maybe Rural Housing Service. I've tried to make this comment about 5 times, and, if this goes through, this is the maximum amount of info that YT will allow me to put in order to help you find these places. Sorry.
I honestly missed these episodes when it's only you two just sitting and talking after having so many podcasts with other people- this one was a banger, loved every minute
1 hour 7 minutes in and you guys make me cry, Impulse and Skizz, if it wasn't for you and your content I don't think I would have made it through the last couple of really rough years. I am so glad you are both in such a great place, you deserve every bit of it, you are both such sweeties! x
28:35 can we please get a podcast on this 🙏 Genuinely so intrigued now. (Hopefully I don't sound like a complete freak for wanting to know more about it lol)
Guests are great and definitely keep doing that, but never under value the episodes of just the two of you. Just love to hear you chat, so relaxed and chill and always offering up little wisdoms. Great episode guys 👍
You had a hand in Meditech!!?? Of the three EMRs I've used, Meditech is my favorite. This is a very unpopular opinion, but it's all about the build and having a good informatics team. Thank you! (I also might be a little biased because I have a background in comp sci before going back to school for nursing)
I'm on my way down to college right now, and these episodes have been a big comfort as I prepare to move away from my family for the first time. So i just wanted to say thank you Imp&Skizz for all the advice and laughs you've given me ❤
currently working part time at a minimum wage job, hoping one day to turn my art talents into a full time career… or whatever path life takes me down, hopefully ill end up at a job that makes me just as happy. what a great episode!
Being entertained or making others laugh doesn't have to be just for bad times or bad days. Most of the times it's just comforting in general and everyone needs something to feel happy about. Regardless of their previous mood. I just think you mention it a whole lot and it feels like it's a requirement to need cheering up in order to watch and enjoy happy videos.
Awww. Don’t feel like that. Everyone is welcome to enjoy, of course! But the fact that their form of entertainment actually does help peeps balance the bad times gives them added incentive to continue. Like, its not “just” fun, its helpful, too. Everyone in the community learned how important they are during the pandemic, and it was an epiphany. They’re still trying to get used to the idea, really. ❤
Oh my goodness... YOU guys worked for Perot systems too!! Yes, it definitely wasn't the best, but I was assigned to the particular location so it was easier to get used to the applications. Yeah, that was around the time doctors were forced/required to digitized everything they did.
I had the same job Impulse had! Mine was at a standalone Pizza Hut though. He's right the pizza disks were just like cardboard. You would put oil on the pans ( like a ton of oil ) and then the pizza then put it in the proofer (the big hot closet basically) and then when they're done you would make the pizza itself. My favorite part of the job was making the pizza boxes and cutting the pizza. On my last day at that job I sprained my wrist taking a pizza out of the roller oven though because they would make us take out the pizza using these weird types of tongs and if the pizza was large then they were pretty heavy. Anyway, good times!
I’ve had such a rollercoaster of a relationship with my father and maybe the reason I’m such a big fan of y’all is that you have been consistent and “good” men in my life. Thank you for that
My roommates and I used to roll a d20 for each topping (2-3 toppings per pizza) and would try different pizza combos that way. We've had some interesting pizzas!
Thank you. As someone with insane job anxiety, I really needed this as encouragement as I start looking for my next job soon. Thank you for showing me, no matter how obvious it is, that the world doesn’t end at this one job.
I’ve been jobhunting for a couple of months now. I can’t tell you how many jobs I’ve applied for. It’s been rough to say the least. But I really enjoyed the podcast and feel reinvigorated to keep doing my best and work hard.
Remember there are sooo many job boards, if you’re only using one you’re not seeing all the jobs available. Get out, drive around, see what businesses are around you, write names. Even go into reception, there, and ask how to apply, and at least find out where they post their jobs. Go on the company websites for those you are interested in to find out what they’re looking for, maybe links to click directly to whatever board they are using. All the best of luck to you. ❤
My first job was at a craft store and I befriended the old ladies who worked there to pay for their shopping addiction. One of them (Cathy) was kinda scary at first, but eventually she warmed up to me. On my last day of the job, my manager was being rude about me leaving, even though I had repeatedly told him I needed to end at that time. I was on the brink of tears. Then Cathy came over and scolded him. It was still a hard day, but it felt good to have someone like Cathy stand up for me.
I'd say this is another one of your best podcasts yet. Utterly fascinating to hear you talk about all these old jobs! And it's so satisfyingly sweet because we already know how the story ends
38:20 i did something similar at my first real job and it's how i got out of support and into dev (which is what i went to college for), but i never got that kind of recognition. That's awesome!!
this was such a cool podcast to listen to! i just started my first full-time/post-college job a few weeks ago, and getting to hear about your own journeys is really nice
The idea of a job has always haunted me. I've never felt ready, I still don't, but this podcast always has a way of calming my anxieties. It also gives me the inspiration to start my photography business, which has been my dream. I tried content creation for a while but burnt out. You guys have given me inspiration and motivation as always!
I swear, I have gone through this exact job journey! From Knott's Berry farm to Verizon call center to Christie Digital tech support.... Wow! A walk down memory lane!
When I tell people about all the different jobs I have had they are shocked. Also, I have had way too many awful managers in those jobs. But with all of it I have a really amazing perspective.
Great episode and loved hearing your journies through the professional world. I'm currently in my mid-20's (graduated college at the beginning of the pandemic) and a year after lockdown I was able to land a respectable job in my industry about 8 years earlier than I should have, bypassing a lot of climbing. Unfortunately, the pay was still not good (issue of the industry itself), but the job itself was VERY satisfying and self-fulfilling. While I'd be happy there forever, I need an income I can survive on. So I actually started talking to my boss about doing more, earning more, and showing them that I can do more with my degree. I am now in training to start a new position (same job but new WFH responsibilities) with the same company with a significant payrise, and things are looking positive and my name is being passed around the industry in good light. Hearing stories like yours really helps me understand you don't know where life will lead, but the best you can do is work with what you have and climb from there. No one knows where they'll be in 20 years, but best make the most of it.
My first job was doing a Sunday paper round when I was 13. Most of the papers were really thick and I could hardly post them through the letterbox. Well I fell ill with german measles and my mum called the shop and I ended being off for 3 weeks but still got fired. Did not miss it.
You guys are genuinely good role models in many ways. While nobody is perfect, I would still say that you're both good role models. I respect you for even things such as "There is some cursing in this episode". You are recognizing your viewers, putting that warning front and center, and put it in bold. You care.
Omg. The last few seconds were pure gold 👌. Impulse, “It’s a little late for the warning.” I just wasn’t expecting it. 😂 Love you guys, who y’all choose to be and the content y’all create and present to the world.
As a 20 yr old who is struggling finding a passion in life and just working a job I hate everyday this episode was a nice relief and gave me hope that it will all work out hopefully
My big show was jumping from a vanilla inventory control career, to becoming a corporate representative in an 800,000 square foot automated distribution facility to insure that seasonal and non-basic product made it into 1,250 stores. The learning curve was brutal, the pressure from corporate and facility management was a constant from both sides, and it was nice to see that after years of heat and pressure, I became a small diamond there. Like every other manager in that facility, I eventually moved on. Oh the jobs we've had.
Love the conversation, love seeing you guys get to connect about these lifelong paths, and where you were, and where you are, and it’s so uplifting to hear you guys talk about these lifelong paths path life’s taken you, and the gratitude you’ve met this point of your lives with. It’s awesome to think “there exists a path which could lead me to making a living talking about life with my best buddy”
Skizz I cannot thank you enough for having Impulse remove that spinning piece of nightmare fluff from the wall, I was worried it would simply taunt me forever.
Thank you, Skizz; that little fluttering piece on the wall was driving me up one! And how can you just casually drop "i was holding this stabbing victim's guts in" into the middle of a conversation and then move on like it was nothing? I'm like, "What!" And third, YES! for that quick echo you slipped in there. ON POINT! Impulse, we NEED to see some "professionally wrapped" packages on here for the holidays or something. I would never have guessed, but it makes so much sense. I'm impressed with anyone who has the eye for detail and artistic flair to wrap a damn perfect gift. It's a small thing, but says a whole lot!
I finally was able to watch the podcast today. I've only held two paying jobs, the second one being my current one. Not the job I want but the people have been good to me and it offers the flexibility I need with the health issues plaguing my family.
46:24 gotta push buttons. You have no idea how many electrician services calls we would get just because someone didn't try the reset button on thier GFCI outlets
It made me tear up when Impulse said that him and Skizz are finally working on the same thing together. This episode kinda felt like watching a movie about two friends and how their respective lives led up to where they both find their happy place together awwww 🥺🥺🥺
I listen/watch these everytime I get home from my riding lesson which can be really tiring. It's like a comfort to listen to afterwards, so thank you for these podcasts and keep doing what you're doing ❤
skizz, your story about spinning the little kid too fast gives me an opportunity to thank someone from a long time ago. i went to the exhibition and got on the Rotor where they spin you very fast, sucking you into the wall and then drop the floor. i was wearing a suede coat and it got stuck to the wall and didn't slide down at all. my neck was getting bent at a painfully uncomfortable angle and i was really scared it was gonna break. i caught the operator's eye and, after s few seconds, he decided i was really scared and stopped the ride early. i was relieved and just stumbled out of there without thanking him - i've often wished i had. so... dear rotor operator - thank you so much for seeing the fear in my eye and stopping the machine. ps) love hearing about both of your comp sci jobs :)
Having different jobs builds yourself an archive of knowledge. I started working at the age of 11, on different farms, worked on an agriculture farm, worked as a mailman, moving company, guitar store, and more. I ran through close to 30 jobs before I landed where I am today. "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one."
@@theoriginalkimerli I started working in agriculture, so I could get my degree, but that company literally screwed me and I left. I got a degree in 2016 in logistics, thnx to my current work place. Yet never needed any degree. I was let go of so many times due to downsizing and company bankrupt. Don't waste time you don't have.
25:58 funny story when I was little, my mom kept buying and returning vacuums from Costco so much that they eventually banned her from buying vacuums there 🤣🤣🤣
I would love to see a podcast episode about your wives, if they are comfortable being talked about. Whenever you mention them I like sensing the vibe about how you appreciate them, and I would 100% watch you guys (and Tango) talk about all the reasons your wife is your Person, what you love about them, find interesting about them, how they're similar to you, how they challenge you, what your approach to relationships is, when you met, what attracted you to them, what your goals are in your relationship at the moment, what your philosophies on relationships and family are generally. I think you'd have some interesting things to say!
I’m glad were back to the duo (imp and skizz)! I love the guest but I feel like recently the podcast has leaned more heavily into always having new guest. It’s the imp and skizz podcast but it’s felt like the imp and skizz + guest podcast. With our without guest this podcast is great and i hope we get more of this duo back.
i really really love these podcasts like seriously these two are some of my biggest inspirations and its so much fun listening to these podcasts every week!!
34:36 story of my life! Working customer service where the whole world is angry at you. You either become the duck and let it run off your back like water. Or end up in therapy.
I fir a longbtime was embarrassed by my first job , at 16. My second job was thrown into the deep end. Other jobs well..yeah best job in the world i feel is being a dad you learn so much , have so much fun & laughs too. But the memories us as parents and our lids make r the best forever
Another great podcast, thanks you two. So crazy to hear so many parallels with work history. By the way, we called the "warm closet" a "proofer" at my pizza hut. Anyways, have a wonderful day everyone reading this!
Job satisfaction is priceless. I'm running on the warehouse floor with guys half my age because a desk job with a slightly higher pay and a boatload more stress just doesn't cut it for me.
Myself and my husband could totally relate to your times in tech support, was laughing my head off at swizzle telling the nurse to throw the computer out the window 😂😂😂😂
Skizz being a certified forklift operator is not talked about enough. I bet you can leverage that in some ways on the hermitcraft server 😂😂
Skizz is the most forklift certified man ever, I am not surprised
The real reason he uses inverted mouse controls.
He’s bringing the Big Energy!
YOU'RE TOO LATE [insert generic videogame hero and/or villain here], I'M ALREADY FORKLIFT CERTIFIED
Since I know you read comments... This holiday, we NEED an Impulse Christmas Eve photo with your professionally wrapped gifts under the tree!
Yesssss
YES
oOoOO yes!!!
Yes please
When impules talked about learning to gift wrap and being amazing at it, all that rang in my head was gem saying "impules' love language is gift giving" thats so cute :)
i think its impulse, not impules !
@@y0yle_st4rz..27 impulse’s that’s what she meant to say
That small echo on Skizz voice when he jokes about the echo in the room was a nice touch. Thanks editor skizz.
I love how skizz is wearing more casual clothing. Really shows how he's getting into content creation as his full time job
He also looks good...like really relaxed and healthy.
@@rachelkubacki1642Ikr!? He looks less stressed and he's looking great
I noticed this too! I’m SO happy for him :D
Fired for being too sick to call in sick... It's an important lesson to learn young, being good to the company when they need you does not guarantee they will be good to you when you need them.
Ok that briefly mentioned stabbing story was so unexpected, yet Skizz holding an open stab wound closed... that must've taken a damn level-head
Me having not seen it yet and having 0 context:
WHAT?!
There are plenty of people, myself included, who actually have a natural tendency to stay calm and capable during emergencies.
Staying level headed when things get serious is one of Skizz's superpowers. It's why people gravitate to him as a leader. It's also why it's so entertaining to see him let loose when he's having fun, the screams when stuff goes awry in non-serious situations are a hilarious contrast
I'm sorry!? I shouldn't read the comments before the ep. It's always my downfall 😂 I'm sure I'll get context later
28:35 EXCUSE ME?! You better do a podcast where you cover this in more depth, cuz I'm INTRIGUED!
Right!
EXACTLY!!!! you can’t just drop that lore and NOT cover it
Exactly! That’s a story we wanna hear
Yes please, tell us more
@@Cinnabar39 they did in the most recent podcast! Go check it out!
only skizz could casually say "remember when i helped that stabbing victim" and it just tracks
It would be believable coming from Etho too 😂
Where is this from…
when impulse is talking around the 40 minute mark, there's a small piece of the insulating wall covering that's hanging down and like flapping around in the wind over his left shoulder. i couldn't look at anything else from that point onwards. adhd is fun.
EDIT: SKIZZ ON THE BALL!!
same! I patrolled the comments to see if anyone else had noticed
I didn't notice it I even rewinded back a few times after he grabbed it to see what it was because I didn't see it, looked like he was holding nothing I don't think my eye sight is good enough to see whatever it was

Good luck on your journey! It does get better!
I have a huge list of links to non-profits that could help you, but YT won't let me post anything about it. 😢

@@QuivaRPG You are amazing!! I'll do more research and check these out ❤
I honestly missed these episodes when it's only you two just sitting and talking after having so many podcasts with other people- this one was a banger, loved every minute
I love that Skizz wears more T-Shirts. It feels much more relaxed than with the button-ups.
That closet is called a "Proofer" where its about 200F to activate the yeast and rise.
“When i helped that stabbing victim”
That came out of nowhere
I looking for this comment, why is nobody talking about it?!?
1 hour 7 minutes in and you guys make me cry, Impulse and Skizz, if it wasn't for you and your content I don't think I would have made it through the last couple of really rough years. I am so glad you are both in such a great place, you deserve every bit of it, you are both such sweeties! x
Every one of these podcasts get better and better, funnier and funnier
23:00 "Impulse is.. a bit of a genius!"
Edit: 40:50 as well
And 50:29
28:35 can we please get a podcast on this 🙏
Genuinely so intrigued now. (Hopefully I don't sound like a complete freak for wanting to know more about it lol)
28:48 okay yes we need this story
God we’re ghouls
Guests are great and definitely keep doing that, but never under value the episodes of just the two of you. Just love to hear you chat, so relaxed and chill and always offering up little wisdoms. Great episode guys 👍
Skizz, you should brag about being a certified forklift operator more often.

Impulse swearing early on was not what i expected going in haha. It's fine though that just caught me off guard
ayy FIFTY MINUTES AGO!!
JCP corporate about to call up impulse for exploiting the catalog coupons 😂😂😂
But seriously, i used to make my christmas list out of that catalog!
always so comforting to see the weekly video pop up on my recommended :) perfect for a friday night
I love this podcast!! It makes my Friday! I love how you give personal examples that everyone can relate to. Please keep doing what you do.

The pizza crust oil machine guy - SO RELATABLE! I feel like we've all been or seen "that guy"😂
Thank you Skizz! I noticed that piece during the last podcast just lightly swaying there menacingly!

I moved my way into a 6 figure job, if all the pay was the same I would totally make pizza at Pizza Hut again. It truly was the best job in the world.

Jungle Playland still exists. I used to take my daughter ( who is now 20) when we lived in Mount Vernon, WA. And I have seen them here in Texas
This whole episode was a blast but I loved the echo effect Skizz threw in when Impulse removed the piece of foam from the wall! Was a nice touch!
This might be one of the funniest podcast episodes ever
Skizz I cannot thank you enough for having Impulse remove that spinning piece of nightmare fluff from the wall, I was worried it would simply taunt me forever.
About the pizza dough - the equipment you were using is called a "proofer". It's common in baking, you put the dough in it to warm it and let it rise
Thank you, Skizz, for having Impulse rip that dangly thing off the wall, it was driving me nuts! 🤪
Thank you, Skizz; that little fluttering piece on the wall was driving me up one!
And how can you just casually drop "i was holding this stabbing victim's guts in" into the middle of a conversation and then move on like it was nothing? I'm like, "What!"
And third, YES! for that quick echo you slipped in there. ON POINT!
Impulse, we NEED to see some "professionally wrapped" packages on here for the holidays or something. I would never have guessed, but it makes so much sense. I'm impressed with anyone who has the eye for detail and artistic flair to wrap a damn perfect gift. It's a small thing, but says a whole lot!
I finally was able to watch the podcast today. I've only held two paying jobs, the second one being my current one. Not the job I want but the people have been good to me and it offers the flexibility I need with the health issues plaguing my family.
I see so much of my own personality in Skizz 🤣 the "throw the computer out the window" has me dying, I say the same kind of thing daily!!
46:24 gotta push buttons. You have no idea how many electrician services calls we would get just because someone didn't try the reset button on thier GFCI outlets
It made me tear up when Impulse said that him and Skizz are finally working on the same thing together. This episode kinda felt like watching a movie about two friends and how their respective lives led up to where they both find their happy place together awwww 🥺🥺🥺
Thank you, I was watching that little piece of fuzz for the entire podcast. :)
Listening to Impulse talking about the process at Pizza Hut cracked me up and took me right back to my teenage days at the hut 🍕
I listen/watch these everytime I get home from my riding lesson which can be really tiring. It's like a comfort to listen to afterwards, so thank you for these podcasts and keep doing what you're doing ❤
skizz, your story about spinning the little kid too fast gives me an opportunity to thank someone from a long time ago. i went to the exhibition and got on the Rotor where they spin you very fast, sucking you into the wall and then drop the floor. i was wearing a suede coat and it got stuck to the wall and didn't slide down at all. my neck was getting bent at a painfully uncomfortable angle and i was really scared it was gonna break. i caught the operator's eye and, after s few seconds, he decided i was really scared and stopped the ride early. i was relieved and just stumbled out of there without thanking him - i've often wished i had.
so... dear rotor operator - thank you so much for seeing the fear in my eye and stopping the machine.
ps) love hearing about both of your comp sci jobs :)
Having different jobs builds yourself an archive of knowledge. I started working at the age of 11, on different farms, worked on an agriculture farm, worked as a mailman, moving company, guitar store, and more. I ran through close to 30 jobs before I landed where I am today. "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one."
My greatest regret is focusing on grades and not trying for a job until after college. Zero stamina
@@theoriginalkimerli I started working in agriculture, so I could get my degree, but that company literally screwed me and I left. I got a degree in 2016 in logistics, thnx to my current work place. Yet never needed any degree. I was let go of so many times due to downsizing and company bankrupt. Don't waste time you don't have.
Skizz thank god that little flickering piece of the soundproofing was driving me nuts 😂😂
"that was not a good job, but it gave us memories" 😂
The subtle echo edit was a nice touch haha
Thank you Skizz! That little piece of foam was driving me nuts too! 😂🤣 Great podcast guys ❤️❤️❤️
25:58 funny story when I was little, my mom kept buying and returning vacuums from Costco so much that they eventually banned her from buying vacuums there 🤣🤣🤣
I would love to see a podcast episode about your wives, if they are comfortable being talked about. Whenever you mention them I like sensing the vibe about how you appreciate them, and I would 100% watch you guys (and Tango) talk about all the reasons your wife is your Person, what you love about them, find interesting about them, how they're similar to you, how they challenge you, what your approach to relationships is, when you met, what attracted you to them, what your goals are in your relationship at the moment, what your philosophies on relationships and family are generally. I think you'd have some interesting things to say!
I’m glad were back to the duo (imp and skizz)! I love the guest but I feel like recently the podcast has leaned more heavily into always having new guest. It’s the imp and skizz podcast but it’s felt like the imp and skizz + guest podcast. With our without guest this podcast is great and i hope we get more of this duo back.
“HR’s worst nightmare” lol love it Skizz. ❤
The timing on this episode is wild to me, I’m just about to start my first job in a few days lol.
i really really love these podcasts like seriously these two are some of my biggest inspirations and its so much fun listening to these podcasts every week!!
"Thank you for calling IT, have you turned it off and back on again?"
That ending tho “it’s a lil late for the warning” that really got me! 😂
Skizz with an Tee... Oooh he's comfy
Those help desk stories remind me of the “Twelve o’clock blinker” story.
1:09:23 thank you Skizz! That was bothering me the whole time XD
34:36 story of my life! Working customer service where the whole world is angry at you. You either become the duck and let it run off your back like water. Or end up in therapy.
This one is so relatable! Everyone's had that one job 😂
Skizz I'm so glad you took off that dangly bit on the wall. I've seen that there for weeks now
I fir a longbtime was embarrassed by my first job , at 16. My second job was thrown into the deep end. Other jobs well..yeah best job in the world i feel is being a dad you learn so much , have so much fun & laughs too. But the memories us as parents and our lids make r the best forever
Kids not lids lol
Another great podcast, thanks you two. So crazy to hear so many parallels with work history. By the way, we called the "warm closet" a "proofer" at my pizza hut. Anyways, have a wonderful day everyone reading this!
Job satisfaction is priceless. I'm running on the warehouse floor with guys half my age because a desk job with a slightly higher pay and a boatload more stress just doesn't cut it for me.
50:09 déjà vu moment. I swear they had this exact exchange on an old podcast episode.
Myself and my husband could totally relate to your times in tech support, was laughing my head off at swizzle telling the nurse to throw the computer out the window 😂😂😂😂
