Weekly petition for Mrs Tango to be on the podcast, I would love to hear stories about living with a full time content creator and what it's like getting into streaming for herself.
Obligatory petition to have a podcast with your wives. They both sound like extremely interesting people and it would be lovely to know the other side of a few stories.
Right? What if they brought Tango back too for that. I've seen Mrs Tango on her own channel and through "Friday Night Stabby"s, but I am so curious about Mrs Impulse and Mrs Skizz. ♥ I'm sure we'd end up hearing some crazy stories.
I love listening to you both speak about your wives with such deep respect and love. You are both wonderful examples of honorable men. (Two of my three daughters don't trust men and don't want to get married because of the example they grew up with.) I would love to see a podcast with your wives someday. It would be hilarious 😆
If he’s ever in town, I’d love to see an episode with zed on! Or even with tango and zed, imagine a Z.I.T.S. episode! You might need a bigger sofa though lol
@@derrickstorm6976 i saw! realize i didn't make that clear lol, just thought the tango one was so good what if zed was there too, now that's an unstoppable force! thank you though! gosh this community is so nice ^^
One of the many things that I absolutely adore about you two is how much you love your wives. I've heard Skizz talk about his wife and it is always full of respect, admiration, and love. In this episode (which I have paused just now) Impulse physically lights up when talking about his wife. It made my heart so full I actually got choked up. You are both incredible content creators and entertainers, but if I had to pick one thing that was the absolute best about each of you, I would say it is the love you have for your families and each other. It spills over and fills my own heart. No amount of words can thank you enough for sharing that. Love both your faces so very much.
I also went to a trade school. (Though my classmates argue otherwise) It was a tiny art college, my graduating class was 18 people. The lessons were very much self taught. You're learning a skill, a trade, but you can only get better at it by putting in the effort. They can't force you to figure out how to draw, or how to develop your own style, they can only give you the tools. I feel like that's how it would work in most trade schools. Someone can tell you how to do welding, how to code, how to fix diesel engines, but you're only going to figure it out, and get better at it, by actually doing it. Its something I wish I had understood at the time. I really wish I had waited to go to college for a few years, because I had no grasp of how to appricate what I was doing at the time, just coming right out of high school.
Just droppin down here to say. Full honesty I'm in college right now. And it's interesting to hear about other people's college experiences because everyone's experience is just so different and I'm fascinated. But also it took everything I had to not laugh very very loudly at this this morning so thanks for a fantastic thing to wake up to :D
44:44 forgot to censor there BUT it was necessary to punctuate how bad you actually felt for messing this up royally. Great podcast as always! I love the part when you were talking about how your wife just has a vision and can make it happen and doesn’t default to “just buy it”. when it comes to decorating or renovating or interior design. I wish I was like that too. She definitely found her calling.
There's something just so nice about hearing other people my age who also met their spouses decades ago and are still happy together. My husband and I met in '99 and we've been married since '01. And more in love now than ever. 💖
Critical thinking helped me to escape the brain washing from growing up in a cult. And honestly my mother accidently taught me how by telling me that if a teacher at school told me no when I needed to call home or go to the bathroom I had permission to leave and my mom would have my back. That taught me that adults aren't always right. If I'm told to do or not do something I have the right to go against that without facing negative consequences, and if I do get punished I was still in the right. It didn't matter what they did or said to or about me, I made the right decision to follow my gut. So I left the church, and she still wonders where she went wrong with me.
I can say from experience (having just finished a BS and MSc degree in computer science) that it was all on me to learn as well! Yes, the classes taught me a little, but the class material was all tangential to the assignments and projects. I was never taught how to do what I needed to do on those assignments and projects. I had to figure that out. The class material was more supplementary knowledge (like 'learn this yourself for the assignment, and also you should know this as well').
It was really nice to be able to watch such a funny and lighthearted podcast. This has been the first day without my dad as mum kicked him out and I'm unable to live with him until he finds a place of his own. The story about the Java teacher reminded me of my Python teacher in my engineering course who had 0 knowledge of Python, and I knew enough for the entire subject and taught my entire class. I got full marks in the subject
I probably have over 200 hours of college credits in addition to my doctorate degree and I would 100% agree that you don't go to school to learn, but to learn how to learn. College gives you the skills needed to build your own knowledge base. Another great podcast guys. Thank you again.
Great podcast. Until Imp said it, I hadn't realized that there's already 34 episodes. Man, time flies when you're having fun. Best part of Friday when these drop.
I don’t think schools realize how important teaching study skills is. I went to a bad school and never had to study for a single thing and passed as a National honor student. When I went to college I had no idea how to study, I ended up dropping out.
Thanks for another great podcast. I don't think I've ever seen a forum where two men so comfortably share so many honest stories about their lives and their lifelong friendship with each other. I always either listen on Friday nights while I'm exercising on my elliptical or Saturday mornings when I'm drinking coffee. Thanks for the great podcast -- it enriches my weekends. Keep on doing the awesome work that you're doing.
Learning to learn is very important, I tell my kids every time they say they will never use some knowledge in “real life” that they are practicing learning, because learning is a high level skill that not everyone has. And also school is real life!
These stories and the successes you have had is a great example of why trade and tech schools are so under rated. So much pressure is put on young people to go to a traditional collage that they don't realize that this is an equal, and sometimes better, option.
I tried college, but I had a lot of life things go wrong at the same time and I had to drop out because I couldn't handle life and classes at the same time. I haven't gone back and I don't know if I will. Every bit of knowledge that is taught in a class is also readily available, and I prefer learning at my own pace. So that's what I do now. If I want to learn something, I do the research independently.
Yeah, it’s been my experience that the good schools don’t necessarily teach you information, but rather, teach you how to learn information and then let you loose in an Information Rich Environment.
My Senior Science teacher in Year 12 (Australia) was the worst, most incompetent teacher. He literally came in at our end of year english exams for our HSC and said to us "this is the stuff you didn't learn in the last 12 weeks. Your science exam is tomorrow. Good luck" and handed us a wad of paper print outs to study. But I had the best Ancient history teacher! I will remember her forever! So passionate, caring and inclusive to kids who weren't info regurgitators and just wanted to know the history. ❤
Impulse, the more I hear about your parents the more I want to hear from them about parenting teens and adult kids-my first is 18 (youngest 12) and I could sure use some tips! I just love hearing you talk about your wives. They seem pretty incredible and I’d like to think my hubby gushes over my strengths and talents like you 2 do. One of my first Impulse streams was hearing him almost tear-up over his wife making him breakfast on a stressful morning and I’ve just been impressed ever since. Then, of course, I got to know Skizz. You are both amazing men. I truly hope to meet you some day. It gives this momma hope that boys who do crazy things can grow up to be responsible, talented men. 😁
Heya, love your podcast and where you're going with it and I hope you are, too! I love the way you're growing this project and hope you get encouraged by comments more than by numbers. So keep going and growing!
My favourite exercise with early programming actually was teaching the computer how to do maths. Use no numbers, use no mathematical operators or functions using imported code, build them all from scratch. Go. Determining a different way to represent numbers was only the first obstacle, but figuring out how addition, multiplication, division, etc., works really informs a lot of how I think algorithmically day these days.
14:53 I always remember my Object Oriented Programming tutor from when I was at polytechnic, he was literally learning the lesson a few hours before he was teaching it to us…
One of my favorite teachers in college would do a lot of work setting and managing expectations. For example, she would say “in this class we are going to do excellent work” and it was like okay, interesting declaration. I can see how stating it at the onset creates an expected level of result you can measure against. Neat. But then when she’d gotten buy-in to that concept, that “we are going to do excellent work,” she’s say “great. Now what does excellent work look like?” And we’d have to really think through what metrics we’d use to evaluate our own efforts. Very intentional woman.
really loved this episode (and lots of the othres too), as somebody who dropped out of high school to pursue my own company, I always really enjoy hearing college/school stories
I literally said !@&?$ yes! in the middle of class today when my friend told me the topic of today’s podcast episode. I’m starting uni this fall for aerospace engineering and so it’s really great hearing Impulse and Skizz talk on it. Nobody in my life has given me a straight answer of what it’ll be like, and I can’t say they haven’t added a little fear to the pile but also their memories of meeting friends/family, and all the different teachers, has idk, brought some humanity back to the whole thing for me. Also skizz’s leadership skills are so cool aaa
I’d love to hear a podcast on the imprinting (as Skizz called it). It would be interesting to hear how some things can stick with you years down the road. Some good and some bad. Also with the thinking critically, there was something I was taught in my college psych classes: correlation does not equal causation. It’s a great way to think about things critically and understand that life is multifaceted.
I had a math teacher in college who would gather attention by doing something completely absurd and not even mentioning it until class was over. We were all sitting and talking waiting for class to start, he got up from his desk and walked straight into the wall HARD, fell on his back, stood up and started passing out packets 😂 We were all very shocked. After class was over he said that he once walked into the window expecting it to make a loud noise but he ended up breaking the glass and cutting open his head. Apparently he was bleeding from his head and still passed out packets 😅 that guy was wild. He was the only math teacher that I feel like I truly learned from.
Hi, I have a suggestion for a future podcast topic, which is all about your friendship and how, after college/school, youve made it a priority to make time for each other and not loose touch. Especially when people get jobs, start having kids, make friends with colleagues or the parents of their kids friends. What have you learnt in being friends and fostering your friendship for so many years and maybe about what sets your relationship apart from former friends you did loose touch with. Think it would be really interesting
I'm loving the podcasts! Great dynamic between the two of you. Could you please have the master sound up a bit? I like to listen in the car during drives but it's hard to hear even with my Bluetooth and car volume up the whole way.
With regard to the having to go and learn java for yourself. The professor who taught me geochemistry summed it up perfectly in my 3rd year (uk university) paraphrasing as it was a long time ago he said. I'm not here to teach you, you are reading a degree in geology, by now you should all be able to learn for yourselves. I'm here to point you in a direction and answer your questions when you find something you don't understand. We used to have 2 x3hour lectures with him a week and they were like no lecture I'd ever had, he would have no note just him a whiteboard and may 10 students and we would just talk around the subject he'd set in the previous lecture that he expected us to go an read about. He'd give us the subject but wouldn't specify a reading list, he expected us to go to the library and various journals and look for our selves. He could regurgitate from memory everything we would have ever read. He has since passed away and it was a great loss to teaching and research
That's one thing my parents always told me. Once you learn how to learn, you can learn anything. I've enjoyed listening to the different college experiences. I have a tendency to remember the good teachers more than the bad ones. Lol, then again, I actually think I was very fortunate with the teachers I did end up with. One thing I did notice though, is while one teacher teaches in the perfect way for you, that teacher's style might not resonate with a different student. I had started going online to a site where students can rate the different teachers and I saw one teacher that had some complaints on how he taught and I was like... I'm actually okay with that. I got into that class and he was a great teacher for me. I guess some personalities just don't go well together, but others do.
What's funny is my experience was very similar, just in a different school, different state, only I didn't get up to nearly as much fun and shenanigans, but seriously, down to having a teacher so bad they were fired, having teachers not teach anything and just having to teach myself, and having no sports or real on campus life. But being real for a min, to skizz's point about flipping the script and your interest in psych, you could do a really interesting podcast on cognitive biases...
Finally listening to this ep, I had a similar experience with professors.. Java teacher was bad, didn't know anything about the language, every question was answered with "you go figure it out." Visual Basic and COBOL teachers were both great. They both, funny enough, owned businesses and taught part-time. Same era, different schools/states/parts of the country. My networking teacher was fantastic. His wife taught accounting and they were two of my favorite teachers in college. Wife and one of her classes got a lousy tenured professor fired. That was a big deal that she's still proud of :)
...and I think I need to reply/clarify on that first point. I've been successful in the tech industry long enough to understand the importance of learning *how to learn*. There's a difference between "how do I do this?" and "here are the things I've tried and I'm still stuck, can you provide guidance?"
Podcast request: talk about all the youtube series you've both done and your favorites and least favorites! Will certain ones return? If you could change one what would you do? Etc.
I know it's not quite an idiosyncrasy, but I can't stop flinching whenever Skizz says "propensity." Just thought I'd throw that in here! 😅 This was a fun podcast!
TMI impulse lol. I guess that’s one strategy to chase off intruders. I’d love to hear more about your wife and her job. I’m currently in high school and would love to hear more about interior design as I think that’s what I want to do as a future career. As always
I feel like you all would be amazing to be friends with! You're very lucky to have each other. I had a friend who is been friends with since we were 10 so for almost 30 yrs and we parted ways because she was making some bad choices. It's nice to connect with someone but sad when you lose that too.
so, 24h talkathon while you guys play minecraft? Do like a Naked and Scared thing where you have some building objectives while you talk? I'm all for it!
Great podcast, but man the volume was super low. I tried it on my phone, my tv, and my laptop. Love this podcast and really enjoy listening to the two of you just discuss life through stories.
I'm 99 percent sure I know the school you speak of and you're being too kind. I took a tour and immediately thought "nope" and went to a training place with good instructors for my MCSE. There was a life-changing moment during that course when I met a CCIE and decided I wanted to learn Cisco networking. Took many years after, but finally got that network engineer job and never looked back. I love these stories not only because I can relate, but I know the locale and find myself nodding a lot to the stories. Except for Barros. Horrible pizza 😆.
the mnemonic devices to remember names is something a few of my teachers also used, and then there was also a notable teacher in middle school who just gave everyone nickname based on first day vibes, sometimes it was a nickname based on a shortened name, sometimes it was last name, sometimes it was some completely random thing, but regardless, that teacher still knows us by those (nick)names and recognizes us in that way, I use a mix of both when interacting with people to associate name to face, sometimes a good mnemonic device arises, sometimes a nickname arises, sometimes I just somehow remember a name, or other times I have no clue lol also, in terms of idiosyncrasies, I've found that after watching you two (impulse more than skizz tbh) for only a few months, I know some of yours! impulse has some in minecraft specific ones too from what I can tell, I'm similar to skizz in that I find details like that easily
Impulse when u said ..u don't know if u have much to talk about until u get going..I do the same thing...I say my brain is like a computer...there's nothing until u turn it on and type in what ur looking for
as a guano apes afficinado i can fully support this podcast! :D (you might find me on the live-CD cover, as they took the photos when i was there... ;) )
We as the fans NEEEDD at episode with the wives!! We need to hear from them about you guys! and Impulse- Saying your wife is shy and mysterious..... you already know we want to know more too! haha I'd love to hear her first impression of you :)
It’s clear Impulse’s wife has a boundary and we as the fans should respect that. Pressuring Impulse to pressure his wife puts him in an uncomfortable situation.
8:02 I relate to this soo much right now in high school, I have an honors Java class with a math teacher as our teacher. He’s never learned Java that class is basically a study now and everyone just plays games on the computers inside the room. He hasn’t assigned work all year and I don’t think he will 😂
Ayo Idaho?! Although now I am curious where....I feel that though with how parents house was for everyone lol My mom was the band mom that everyone went to, and later used for friends to crash for a few nights during rough times in SoCal
Only half way through this cos...life...anyway can't believe you did similar uni course subjects as me, you could be describing my course but I wad in the UK. We made a calculator in Vb that worked out how much tax you pay on something. I still have it but also have the original 3.5 disk i saved it on in my loft....not like that'll work now 😂 Also love the origins of great question!
I'm still torn on if I should go to College or not the reason I'm against it is I've heard unless you have Scholarships or your rich or something like that, that if you go to College you're guaranteed to go into debt, I've also heard no matter what your degree that they force you to take math and there's no way I could ever pass College level Math I almost failed it in when I was in High School but without going into detail I was in the Hospital the week before graduation and my Teacher felt bad and gave me an A on the final test instead of making me take the test or not counting it at all so I was able to pass. It's not that I hate Math or don't try I really do try but my brain doesn't work that way you can try and explain it for hours and I'll try but never succeed at it makes no sense to me I can barely even do basic addition without writing it down on paper. So I'm kind of afraid to go to College. But on the flip side the Positive of College is that it would make me learn the Career I want because it makes learning a job where as right now learning on my own I'll watch a few videos maybe start reading a book but then it's like my depression hits and I lose motivation and I feel like I'm not good enough or the job I want is unrealistic and I'll never turn it into a career (I want to do Film) and I just struggle to learn but school makes it a job and I'm able to bury my thoughts away for a few hours once something is made into work because I prioritize work over everything else not sure why I just do. I don't know though I'm running out of time to decide I'm 26 and feel like a failure for not already having a career when the vast majority already have careers by my age and aren't stuck in their parents home. I just suck at this whole life thing to be honest
I do not know if I said this before on the livestream I heard some of this story, but I have never known anyone else who spent late teens early 20s at Barro's every day. I know it was most likely not the same one (N Mesa) but I blame this fact for one of the biggest reasons I watch you guys - so many connections even though we have never met.
Weekly petition for Mrs Tango to be on the podcast, I would love to hear stories about living with a full time content creator and what it's like getting into streaming for herself.
Had I known this was a standard weekly event, I’d have hopped on this already.
Thus begins the chant:
📣 *MRS. T! MRS. T! MRS. T! MRS. T!* 📣
All the wives pleaseeee! I'd love to hear the ladies talk about their husbands 😂
Maybe they could also get Mrs Impulse and Mrs Skizz in if they want to (Ofc if they want to stay anonymous, that is totally fine too).
It could even be the 3 Mrs. And just have them off camera if they get shy, but it will be nice to at least get to hear their thoughts ❤😊
I'd LOVE Mrs. T on the podcast! She has such a lovely personality. And I'd love to hear how it is living with a content creator.
Obligatory petition to have a podcast with your wives. They both sound like extremely interesting people and it would be lovely to know the other side of a few stories.
Right? What if they brought Tango back too for that. I've seen Mrs Tango on her own channel and through "Friday Night Stabby"s, but I am so curious about Mrs Impulse and Mrs Skizz. ♥

@@dasffs yeah! If they manage to get all three in an episode I bet it would be the most watched. "Imp and Skizz podcast: Ladies Night ft. Mrs. Tango".
Impulse talking about meeting his wife was so cute. I love that story haha
I love listening to you both speak about your wives with such deep respect and love. You are both wonderful examples of honorable men.

Bro they made a 2-part show with Tango just a week before! :D

you can say up to 3 F words on YT if they didnt change the rules.
There's something just so nice about hearing other people my age who also met their spouses decades ago and are still happy together. My husband and I met in '99 and we've been married since '01. And more in love now than ever. 💖
Same here…not without our struggles, but we made a commitment to each other and put in the effort, so we reap the rewards.
I don't know anyone who's made it over a decade without any struggles. But we also feel like we're reaping the rewards of our hard work. ♥️

i just can't get over how amazing husbands you both are. the way you talk about your wives, you can see the love and respect you have for them.
Please please please can we see a picture of you two during college!?! Would make it so much easier to picture you guys during your stories!!
Yeah and id love to see skizz with long hair LOL
The most important things I got from college:
1) My wife
2) Learning how to learn
3) Learning how to manage 5 "top priority" tasks at the same time.
I had a lot of great professors, but like our hosts, the information I learned didn't stay relevant forever (nobody uses ASP anymore).
I can say from experience (having just finished a BS and MSc degree in computer science) that it was all on me to learn as well! Yes, the classes taught me a little, but the class material was all tangential to the assignments and projects. I was never taught how to do what I needed to do on those assignments and projects. I had to figure that out. The class material was more supplementary knowledge (like 'learn this yourself for the assignment, and also you should know this as well').

I got full marks in the subject
Way to go, Professor Alex! Prayers for your family situation- you’ll get through it and be stronger on the other side.
I probably have over 200 hours of college credits in addition to my doctorate degree and I would 100% agree that you don't go to school to learn, but to learn how to learn. College gives you the skills needed to build your own knowledge base. Another great podcast guys. Thank you again.
“There’s hot girls here!” So funny
Great podcast. Until Imp said it, I hadn't realized that there's already 34 episodes. Man, time flies when you're having fun. Best part of Friday when these drop.
My favorite episode so far. It’s nice to hear you guys getting more comfortable and bringing up some more adult topics.
I don’t think schools realize how important teaching study skills is. I went to a bad school and never had to study for a single thing and passed as a National honor student. When I went to college I had no idea how to study, I ended up dropping out.
You guys and doc just dropped a video at the exact same minute!!
Thanks for another great podcast. I don't think I've ever seen a forum where two men so comfortably share so many honest stories about their lives and their lifelong friendship with each other. I always either listen on Friday nights while I'm exercising on my elliptical or Saturday mornings when I'm drinking coffee. Thanks for the great podcast -- it enriches my weekends. Keep on doing the awesome work that you're doing.
Didn’t we all have a professor who used pneumonic devices to learn their students names? And we all thought it was super freaking smart 😂😂😂
Learning to learn is very important, I tell my kids every time they say they will never use some knowledge in “real life” that they are practicing learning, because learning is a high level skill that not everyone has. And also school is real life!

As a geek of many decades it's great hearing you both talking about coding. I done visual basic, c++ and turbo pascal back in the day.
It was kinda nice hearing impulsesv swear for once lol. I really enjoy listening keep it up guys
Kinda now wondering if you can get Cleo, Pearl, etc into episodes in the coming year
Great stuff as usual ( thank yinz ) simple take-away to share
My Senior Science teacher in Year 12 (Australia) was the worst, most incompetent teacher. He literally came in at our end of year english exams for our HSC and said to us "this is the stuff you didn't learn in the last 12 weeks. Your science exam is tomorrow.

You are two amazing guys, and husbands.. your eyes both light up when you mention them… love each and every podcast…
Thank you guys
Heya, love your podcast and where you're going with it and I hope you are, too! I love the way you're growing this project and hope you get encouraged by comments more than by numbers. So keep going and growing!
Also love how y'all talk so positively about ur wives. 👍💕💕
I enjoyed every minute of this. Especially the last few minutes :D
Man, I love to see Impulse and MsImpulse do some minecraft together.
My favourite exercise with early programming actually was teaching the computer how to do maths. Use no numbers, use no mathematical operators or functions using imported code, build them all from scratch. Go. Determining a different way to represent numbers was only the first obstacle, but figuring out how addition, multiplication, division, etc., works really informs a lot of how I think algorithmically day these days.
14:53 I always remember my Object Oriented Programming tutor from when I was at polytechnic, he was literally learning the lesson a few hours before he was teaching it to us…
Inlook forward to this weekly podcast. It makes my Friday!
One of my favorite teachers in college would do a lot of work setting and managing expectations.
For example, she would say “in this class we are going to do excellent work” and it was like okay, interesting declaration. I can see how stating it at the onset creates an expected level of result you can measure against. Neat.
But then when she’d gotten buy-in to that concept, that “we are going to do excellent work,” she’s say “great. Now what does excellent work look like?” And we’d have to really think through what metrics we’d use to evaluate our own efforts.
Very intentional woman.
Ah... the college days....
Another great podcast guys!
really loved this episode (and lots of the othres too), as somebody who dropped out of high school to pursue my own company, I always really enjoy hearing college/school stories
I literally said !@&?$ yes! in the middle of class today when my friend told me the topic of today’s podcast episode. I’m starting uni this fall for aerospace engineering and so it’s really great hearing Impulse and Skizz talk on it. Nobody in my life has given me a straight answer of what it’ll be like, and I can’t say they haven’t added a little fear to the pile but also their memories of meeting friends/family, and all the different teachers, has idk, brought some humanity back to the whole thing for me. Also skizz’s leadership skills are so cool aaa
I’d love to hear a podcast on the imprinting (as Skizz called it). It would be interesting to hear how some things can stick with you years down the road. Some good and some bad.
Also with the thinking critically, there was something I was taught in my college psych classes: correlation does not equal causation. It’s a great way to think about things critically and understand that life is multifaceted.
I had a math teacher in college who would gather attention by doing something completely absurd and not even mentioning it until class was over. We were all sitting and talking waiting for class to start, he got up from his desk and walked straight into the wall HARD, fell on his back, stood up and started passing out packets 😂
We were all very shocked.
After class was over he said that he once walked into the window expecting it to make a loud noise but he ended up breaking the glass and cutting open his head. Apparently he was bleeding from his head and still passed out packets 😅 that guy was wild. He was the only math teacher that I feel like I truly learned from.
Hi, I have a suggestion for a future podcast topic, which is all about your friendship and how, after college/school, youve made it a priority to make time for each other and not loose touch. Especially when people get jobs, start having kids, make friends with colleagues or the parents of their kids friends. What have you learnt in being friends and fostering your friendship for so many years and maybe about what sets your relationship apart from former friends you did loose touch with. Think it would be really interesting
I'm loving the podcasts! Great dynamic between the two of you. Could you please have the master sound up a bit? I like to listen in the car during drives but it's hard to hear even with my Bluetooth and car volume up the whole way.
IMPULSE DID A SWEAR!!!!! About damn time.
Timestamp please?
@@shanesunil 44:43
@@arinaloginova Thank you. But I think Shit is fine. At least it's not the F word.
I keep picturing college age Skizz as a more muscular John Crist.
Thanks for that, now I’ll never be able to unsee it lol
Another great podcast today.
With regard to the having to go and learn java for yourself. The professor who taught me geochemistry summed it up perfectly in my 3rd year (uk university) paraphrasing as it was a long time ago he said.
I'm not here to teach you, you are reading a degree in geology, by now you should all be able to learn for yourselves. I'm here to point you in a direction and answer your questions when you find something you don't understand.
We used to have 2 x3hour lectures with him a week and they were like no lecture I'd ever had, he would have no note just him a whiteboard and may 10 students and we would just talk around the subject he'd set in the previous lecture that he expected us to go an read about. He'd give us the subject but wouldn't specify a reading list, he expected us to go to the library and various journals and look for our selves. He could regurgitate from memory everything we would have ever read.
He has since passed away and it was a great loss to teaching and research
Great podcast as always both of you.
That's one thing my parents always told me. Once you learn how to learn, you can learn anything.
I've enjoyed listening to the different college experiences. I have a tendency to remember the good teachers more than the bad ones. Lol, then again, I actually think I was very fortunate with the teachers I did end up with. One thing I did notice though, is while one teacher teaches in the perfect way for you, that teacher's style might not resonate with a different student. I had started going online to a site where students can rate the different teachers and I saw one teacher that had some complaints on how he taught and I was like... I'm actually okay with that. I got into that class and he was a great teacher for me. I guess some personalities just don't go well together, but others do.
one of the best episodes so far
What's funny is my experience was very similar, just in a different school, different state, only I didn't get up to nearly as much fun and shenanigans, but seriously, down to having a teacher so bad they were fired, having teachers not teach anything and just having to teach myself, and having no sports or real on campus life.
But being real for a min, to skizz's point about flipping the script and your interest in psych, you could do a really interesting podcast on cognitive biases...
Finally listening to this ep, I had a similar experience with professors.. Java teacher was bad, didn't know anything about the language, every question was answered with "you go figure it out." Visual Basic and COBOL teachers were both great. They both, funny enough, owned businesses and taught part-time. Same era, different schools/states/parts of the country. My networking teacher was fantastic. His wife taught accounting and they were two of my favorite teachers in college.
Wife and one of her classes got a lousy tenured professor fired. That was a big deal that she's still proud of :)
...and I think I need to reply/clarify on that first point. I've been successful in the tech industry long enough to understand the importance of learning *how to learn*. There's a difference between "how do I do this?" and "here are the things I've tried and I'm still stuck, can you provide guidance?"
The story of imp and how he met his wife was adorable
Podcast request: talk about all the youtube series you've both done and your favorites and least favorites! Will certain ones return? If you could change one what would you do? Etc.
I know it's not quite an idiosyncrasy, but I can't stop flinching whenever Skizz says "propensity." Just thought I'd throw that in here! 😅 This was a fun podcast!
I nearly lost my Hardcore world watching this trying to fight 3 skeletons at once
Love these podcasts.
TMI impulse lol. I guess that’s one strategy to chase off intruders.
I’d love to hear more about your wife and her job. I’m currently in high school and would love to hear more about interior design as I think that’s what I want to do as a future career.
As always
I was not ready for the Guano Apes reference! Cracking band
Great one as always
I feel like you all would be amazing to be friends with! You're very lucky to have each other. I had a friend who is been friends with since we were 10 so for almost 30 yrs and we parted ways because she was making some bad choices. It's nice to connect with someone but sad when you lose that too.
Mad props for mentioning Guano Apes! As a german I never thought they were a thing in the US too.
You guys should pick a topic that you disagree on. These are so good! Thank you so much!
It’s been over 5 months already??? Keep it up!
I really enjoyed this one
I love the Imp and Skizz Podcasts!!!! but i also have to make my weekly Request for more "S.I.T. and CHAT" Podcasts...please:)
so, 24h talkathon while you guys play minecraft? Do like a Naked and Scared thing where you have some building objectives while you talk? I'm all for it!
Just want you both to know that your editing for limited life is spectacular
Great podcast, but man the volume was super low. I tried it on my phone, my tv, and my laptop. Love this podcast and really enjoy listening to the two of you just discuss life through stories.
Imp swore! :O
I'm 99 percent sure I know the school you speak of and you're being too kind. I took a tour and immediately thought "nope" and went to a training place with good instructors for my MCSE. There was a life-changing moment during that course when I met a CCIE and decided I wanted to learn Cisco networking. Took many years after, but finally got that network engineer job and never looked back. I love these stories not only because I can relate, but I know the locale and find myself nodding a lot to the stories. Except for Barros. Horrible pizza 😆.
the mnemonic devices to remember names is something a few of my teachers also used, and then there was also a notable teacher in middle school who just gave everyone nickname based on first day vibes, sometimes it was a nickname based on a shortened name, sometimes it was last name, sometimes it was some completely random thing, but regardless, that teacher still knows us by those (nick)names and recognizes us in that way, I use a mix of both when interacting with people to associate name to face, sometimes a good mnemonic device arises, sometimes a nickname arises, sometimes I just somehow remember a name, or other times I have no clue lol
also, in terms of idiosyncrasies, I've found that after watching you two (impulse more than skizz tbh) for only a few months, I know some of yours! impulse has some in minecraft specific ones too from what I can tell, I'm similar to skizz in that I find details like that easily
Impulse when u said ..u don't know if u have much to talk about until u get going..I do the same thing...I say my brain is like a computer...there's nothing until u turn it on and type in what ur looking for
If y'all haven't done it already, it would be neat to hear a FULL podcast on critical thinking. :3
I can see, things are bad enough for you hahahahah
A place full of geeks behold: Marching Band the sport for geeks flip a flag around or memorize music learning inside and outside of school
as a guano apes afficinado i can fully support this podcast! :D
(you might find me on the live-CD cover, as they took the photos when i was there... ;) )
We as the fans NEEEDD at episode with the wives!! We need to hear from them about you guys! and Impulse- Saying your wife is shy and mysterious..... you already know we want to know more too! haha I'd love to hear her first impression of you :)
Maybe they would agree to be behind the cameras someday, maybe asking you both questions. I don’t know that I would feel comfortable on camera either.
It’s clear Impulse’s wife has a boundary and we as the fans should respect that. Pressuring Impulse to pressure his wife puts him in an uncomfortable situation.
On the programming stuff, I get most things extremely fast but when I started trying to learn UE5 I could not understand, it seems so overwhelming.
4:54 Wow impulse, so you took the big bedroom and make Skizz move in to the little one huh? :P
The skipping class was in the leadership episode, because Skizz was the leader of the miscreants 😂
44:44 Narrator-He did not in fact, bleep it out for youtube
8:02 I relate to this soo much right now in high school, I have an honors Java class with a math teacher as our teacher. He’s never learned Java that class is basically a study now and everyone just plays games on the computers inside the room. He hasn’t assigned work all year and I don’t think he will 😂
What instruments did y'all playing in band? Any fun marching band competition memories?
Ayo Idaho?! Although now I am curious where....I feel that though with how parents house was for everyone lol My mom was the band mom that everyone went to, and later used for friends to crash for a few nights during rough times in SoCal
Only half way through this cos...life...anyway can't believe you did similar uni course subjects as me, you could be describing my course but I wad in the UK. We made a calculator in Vb that worked out how much tax you pay on something. I still have it but also have the original 3.5 disk i saved it on in my loft....not like that'll work now 😂
Also love the origins of great question!
Nise I wil for ever have a naced impuls charging me from his bed lol
My computer science teacher at school was so evil I wouldn’t have been surprised if he asked us to code maths on our first lesson.
18:59
I'm still torn on if I should go to College or not the reason I'm against it is I've heard unless you have Scholarships or your rich or something like that, that if you go to College you're guaranteed to go into debt, I've also heard no matter what your degree that they force you to take math and there's no way I could ever pass College level Math I almost failed it in when I was in High School but without going into detail I was in the Hospital the week before graduation and my Teacher felt bad and gave me an A on the final test instead of making me take the test or not counting it at all so I was able to pass. It's not that I hate Math or don't try I really do try but my brain doesn't work that way you can try and explain it for hours and I'll try but never succeed at it makes no sense to me I can barely even do basic addition without writing it down on paper. So I'm kind of afraid to go to College.
But on the flip side the Positive of College is that it would make me learn the Career I want because it makes learning a job where as right now learning on my own I'll watch a few videos maybe start reading a book but then it's like my depression hits and I lose motivation and I feel like I'm not good enough or the job I want is unrealistic and I'll never turn it into a career (I want to do Film) and I just struggle to learn but school makes it a job and I'm able to bury my thoughts away for a few hours once something is made into work because I prioritize work over everything else not sure why I just do.
I don't know though I'm running out of time to decide I'm 26 and feel like a failure for not already having a career when the vast majority already have careers by my age and aren't stuck in their parents home. I just suck at this whole life thing to be honest
I do not know if I said this before on the livestream I heard some of this story, but I have never known anyone else who spent late teens early 20s at Barro's every day. I know it was most likely not the same one (N Mesa) but I blame this fact for one of the biggest reasons I watch you guys - so many connections even though we have never met.
