I despise gambling but when Skizz talks about it i listen.
I think if it's done extremely responsibly, it's okay. what i despise are casinos cuz theyre just out to take all your money. poker night kinda thing with the guys is always fun. also...
Skizz: "I don't have a gambling addiction, I have a gambling PROBLEM" paraphrased from secret life lol.
I think it's because Skizz talks about it in a very cautious, responsible way. He acknowledges that gambling is addictive and that it can get dangerous very fast and self control is essential for playing. He doesn't play to win money, he plays for the fun of it, the social aspect of reading people and being able to understand what he is reading and being able to act on those reads. I think that makes an enormous difference between him and the more typical gambler.
I'm audio only but I've come here to say that you guys are doing such a good job! This is by far my favourite podcast
Same with me
I am audio only but i do come to the comments to say something from time to time
Advice for an Alaskan cruise from one who lives there: ignore the seasonal jewelry stores and poke around in the locally owned shops, they are super fun. The White Pass Railroad train ride in Skagway is stunning and fascinating and awesome. When you’re in Juneau, if the clouds are above the mountain peaks, the Mt. Robert’s Tram downtown is totally worth it and the hiking up there is glorious. You guys are the best!
yo Skagway is such a cool, unique name :O
Ironically, this podcast came out merely hours before I have to leave for my vacation. I will be listening to this on Spotify on my way to London :p
Haha I am also leaving for vacation today
Ooh a tip for London from a British gal, Tate modern is awesome and free and in my opinion their cafe has on one of the best views in London
@Ashleylikesbunnies Looks awesome but unfortunately it's out of the way and our few days are fully stacked. Thanks for the suggestion though. I love london so definitely will be coming back in the future and will be on my list
@@afiott i hope you have a wonderful time! and that the weather is forgiving lol it’s a tad windy here at the moment
I was not expecting a Rhett and Link - I'm on Vacation reference but it's kinda awesome to know Imp and Skizz are fans haha
I work at a church. December is literally the busiest month of the year. Not only do I have to program my services but I also have events, prep and Bible study set ups. From 6:15am to 8:00pm every day. I’m just glad my vacation is in a week.
Lol that opening cliff hanger edit was amazing. I'm ready!
I've been on one cruise in my time and I really enjoyed it. My family always does a trip every year to SoCal and stay camping on the state beach with tons of other families that we are friends with. Group trips are a great time with the right people!
Impulse being completely relatable for a whole podcast lol. I moved to the ocean and found it extremely healing so hiking along the ocean cliffs is my relaxation and meditation, and being at the beach of course, but I am terrified of being on boats. I took the ferry to this island a few times and when we were kids my sister coaxed me onto the deck in the middle of the night in the rain and told me to smell the ocean, look over the edge... She came up behind me and did the fake out push/shake you and I wanted to cry 😭😂 lol being the youngest means you're always getting trolled as a kid hahaha. It was so nice, but the ocean is so immense it should be feared
I feel you
20:33 😂😂 -$17 and your dignity 😂😂 oh no skizz.
and some blood
40:25 I think Skizz experienced humid heat. I’ve lived in Florida most of my life and I can tell u humid heat is way worse than dry heat (which is what Arizona has)
dry heat requires add more water, but humid heat is like. i need water and fresh air and a towel and a shower in that order
Oh man, that Rhett and Link vacation song instantly took me back. You guys would be so cool on Last Meal from Mythical Kitchen
Nothing beats the Pink Dolphin. So many great memories there.
14:40 THATS RHETT AND LINK!! LMAO I adore them. Fan for over 10 yrs ❤😂 that's awesome lmfao
I can agree with beach house (3:40), but for me I wouldn’t want sand. Having visited the rocky shores of Maine many times, I have found them to be enchanting in a way that sandy beaches don’t usually provide. Somehow I’m more drawn to the cold and harsh more than the sunny and inviting
I wouldn’t ever be able to afford to rent a beach house though, those things are expensive lol
i like vacationing on lake michigan. same reason. haaaaaaate sand. they have some sandy beaches but a lot of them are rocks, with a narrow strip of sand. and lake sand doesnt stick as much as beach sand... plus i get out of the lake and my hair feels like i used 50$ product on it.
official sighting of skizz"owl"man at 31:25
Loved hearing your vacation stories but the most important advice I heard was “live life” - don’t let opportunities to make memories get away. Another good show! ❤
Falling from a cruise ship isn't about being rescued, it's surviving the fall. And if you survive the fall, it's not drowning in the ship's wake.
Man, now I wanna go back to Disney World and Universal. So good and so much fun.
Skizz reminds me alot of my dad . Especially with his attitude of "What others think... Who cares"? A few years ago, he told me and my siblings to pack bare necessities and meet him in the car in thirty minutes. A few days later we were at Disney World. No prior planning, no mention of Disney or anything. Whenever we would ask about packing certain items, he would say verbatim, "Its not the Oregon Trail. There are Walmarts in Florida."
Thank you Impluse and Skizz for everything you do!
The best vacation, to me, is relaxing at home. I also like going for hikes.
staycation. though it would be nice to have a "vacation" at some point. change of scenery for a few days. but im usually a staycation person too.
The best "vacation" I ever went on (in quotes because I was actually volunteering for ADA disability accommodations, so theoretically it wasn't just a vacation) was Planet Comicon KC in 2022.
I got to meet Adam Savage from Mythbusters (and get a photo with him, and get it signed! It's framed on my wall). He is a genuine, kind, and very hilarious person and I absolutely loved getting to chat with him. You guys should see if he'd want to be on the Podcast!
I also had the absolute pleasure of escorting a lovely blind lady and her sighted guide (also her best friend) through the convention. It was a very memorable experience and I absolutely loved doing it. I'd volunteer again in a heartbeat, and plan to.
There were some not so great experiences on that trip as well (spent way too much money on some absolute garbage food, for one) but honestly I don't even care. It was worth it.
Kauai is awesome. Everyone should go once! Hanalei Bay nothing like it. My family lives on the Northshore and it's so beautiful. I get to go in August for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. Already got my list of places to go and food to eat.
Impulse - I was born in AK, June won’t be too bad. Won’t be as warm as AZ, but it will be comfortable. I think you will love that cruise. Princess tours knocks it out of the park.
This episode was great to listen to.
(Me most likely when I finished listening to the entire thing)
lol
lmao same. Me: sees the thumbnail. Also me: "This episode was AMAZING" *proceeds to watch it*
I would love to hear you both host a roundtable discussion on how viewer negativity impacts the content creation that some seem to love (and live) to hate.
I would like to see that too. Also how they deal with the contstant stream of information, the attention from people, all the stuff comes with becoming a bigger contentcreator..
WIVES holiday special!!!! we want the wives!
i came straight here as soon as i saw this posted! i really really enjoy every episode you guys put out, it's so fun to watch or just have in the background to listen to, so thank you for doing this. a weirdly fitting episode for me as this year my family has decided to go light on the presents and do a trip sometime in jan or feb! it's been a while since we had a proper vacation so it should be fun
Memories really are what matter most. It's not important whether you're on a 2 week European ski vacation or 2 hours at your local park.
We went on an Alaskan cruise last summer. Impulse, you absolutely HAVE to go whale watching as well. It was one of the most memorable for me. Well that and the glacier and the killer whales and the beautiful mountains and the forest hike and the train ride and the everything! I also had a couple pretty good Alaskan beers.
If it's an Alaskan Carnival cruise, you need to hang out at the Alchemy Bar. The 3 guys we had were really great! I kinda miss those guys and I only knew them for like 5 days. Lol! I'm not calling out their names on the Internet, but I really want too! I hope they are doing well.
Finally caught up! Just binged the entire podcast. You guys are doing great!
I’m more relaxed just to listen about your vacations! Another great podcast guys!
As a child: camping with my parents and playing cards on a rainy day inside the tent 10/10
Thanks for reminding me to go out there and experience stuff. Usually I get too caught in worrying about how expensive things are and that keeps me from experiencing things. Of course, I'm not planning on going crazy and spending all my money on a cruise I can't comfortably afford, but I'm tired of not having stories to tell. I appreciate ya guys.
Thanks again guys❤
If you're going to Europe, I know some very obscure places in the balkans (near greece). Sunken churches, a certain cave I totally didn't break into (the guard dog strays didn't really do their job), an ancient observatory, an abandoned hotel that was burned down in the eighties that you can sleep on the roof of if you so desire, one of the worst zoos to ever exist, an ancient roman aqueduct, a lake with one-of-a-kind pearls, a fun mountain to climb that sits right next to a canyon with a cave, and just a bunch of random ruins you can climb around on. This is all just in North Macedonia and its all free, by the way. If you're interested in ideas you can let me know, but I've also been to 27 different countries and can give you some ideas and tips free of charge :). Europe is an amazing place, but being a tourist can also be pretty dangerous.
As a kid in England, a 5-hour drive to the beachfront in Wales always felt sooo far away! My family and i would go almost every year to a caravan park where my granddad owned two, it's like a mini hit of nostalgia every time you go back, and so interesting to make so many different memories at different times in very similar places. Sandy beaches are definitely fun, but i also love rocky and pebbly beaches, especially when the rocks are big enough to climb up. Little me also had one of his first great tastes of independence then, being able to run along the beach pretty much as far as i wanted, my parents knowing i was gonna be alright, such fun!
I appreciate skizz alot ngl he seems like such a nice dude he's fantastic at managing chaos and that's a pretty impressive skill to have I'm literally shocked by how good of a leader he is
So awesome to hear about all your wonderful holidays! I remember when impulse came back from his cruise and spent most of a stream telling us about it, it brought back all the happy memories for me from 13 years ago when my husband and I went on the same ship around the canary islands for our honeymoon! We loved the pizza place too! Being able to go grab a slice of pizza or two whenever we wanted was awesome, and I could so imagine lil miss impulse bringing back her red pizza shaped plate with the slice of pizza on it! (We loved those plates so much that a few might have made their way off the ship with us! 🤫🙈) I'd love to be able to take my kids on a cruise one day, but really not sure my worsening motionsickness could handle it, even 13 years ago I spent most of the week feeling woozy from the background engine buzz and motion (the only place I didn't experience any motion was in the hottubs!) But it would still be something utterly amazing to do!
Great podcast! Love the stories!
My wife loves the beach (probably because she grew up less than an hour from one), and I love walking the beach at sunrise or late in the evening, but I have no desire to hang out in the sun, getting burnt, splashing in the waves. I only go because she loves it. My ideal spot is the mountains -- especially in the fall, when the leaves are changing. And the whole family loves picking fresh mountain apples. We make a point to visit both beach and mountains every year.
EDIT: You mentioned an Alaska Cruise. Wife and I went this past summer (without the kids) and had a wonderful time. Hope you enjoy your trip!
the alaska cruise is one of the few cruises i really want to do. my mother did it, and her eyes light up every time she talks about it. its AMAZING. you're gonna love it.
They are called Stewards. My wife and I love cruises.
Cruises are truly the best. keep up the amazing content!
Phenomenal hook this week Skizz
Puerto Vallarta has the best ZIP LINING EVER! and the hiking is gorgeous. Maui is also beauuttifuulll. Black Rock Beach was the best part of Maui!
Also loved hearing about ur stories.
Hope this comment helps the algorithem
I feel ya Skizz! Love y’all! Skizz I cannot WAIT to see you celebrate being able to transition to full time content creation. Praying for you both! I love that your vid’s and streams are so family friendly but love that you have been able to loosen up a bit in these streams!!! Really fun to watch you all!
I listen to you guys just on Spotify when i am driving to work. I wanted to tell you both that the Imp and Skizz podcast was on number 1 podcasts with 4000 min.
Keep up the good work! And thanks for the awesome 4000 min. ❤
I need you guys to take a vacation!! And then tell us about it on a podcast. ❤❤
I'm getting my merch today, and it's the hoodie y'all are wearing. Love the podcast guys! ❤
Germany at Christmas time is my favourite place on earth. It's absolutely gorgeous, the night time christmas markets glowing with warm light and their wooden stalls. So beautiful. And while you're in the area take a trip to Neushwanstein Castle because that is also breathtaking.
I'm in a long distance relationship so my vacations at the moment are the only time I get to see her, but there's so many places I want to take her and she wants to take me. It's exciting just to think and talk about it.
The time I went to Washington was the best time ever. Stayed a week in Seattle, went to Bainbridge Island, up into the rainforest it was SO awesome
my favorite vacation was a weeklong road trip down route 66 with my mother. we started by Chicago and going through Springfield, Missouri then to Cave-in-rock Illinois.
Yeah, I've went on a Carnival cruise a few times, Carnivals a pretty good cruise line
I went on an Alaskan Cruise in 2019. One of the best trips ever! Absolutely loved it! You will enjoy it immensely.
Those pullovers look amazing
Havent listened yet. Will as I make dinner...i never do this its just that this podcast keeps me waiting for fridays...literally the best. You guys are incredible.❤❤
You can be grateful but it doesn’t mean you’re not working too much you need a break man you’re doing good work keep it up and make sure you’re in good mental and physical health❤
I was just waiting for the "Tahiti - It's a magical place."
I love going to the mountains. Rocky Mountain national park and Glacier national park are amazing!
Good listen, thanks fellas I appreciate your time
Ever tried something more in-land/ nature oriented (weird way to phrase it) like a national park?
I listen on Spotify but when I have something to say I jump here on UA-cam! I also went on a carnival cruise to the Cayman Islands and Cozumel. It was so amazing I got to go on a submarine and the water was so clear! I’m glad I’m not the only one surprised at how friendly the staff is! It’s incredible how excited and kind they are to you! I was supposed to go on a cruise to Bermuda recently but because of weather we ended up in the Bahamas. It was still nice, not as many things to do but I’m with ya. It doesn’t really matter where you go, as long as you make memories with those you love.
Another great podcast. I also look forward to them! ❤
Loved this podcast!! & the merch!!! Eee can’t wait for mine!!
This episode gave me so much deja vu cuz im sure ive heard you guys talk about like 75% of this in other videos. But still enjoyed it.
So many fancy vacations! I may never get to any of those places or get to do any of those things but it is so much fun to hear about all the fun people have.
Vacation for me has mostly been just not having to work for a few days. I've never been able to take my son on a proper vacation. Maybe someday!
I never have been on one to. Hope you will be able to make a nice trip one day.😊
Fan cruise!!! Porter. I used to love standing on the fantail of the aircraft carrier and watching the water behind the ship.
My husband and I LOVE cruising! I recommend New Zealand...it's simply breathtaking!
Loved this
I'm with you Impulse, beach house all the way! Everyone gets to enjoy it their own way, super easy for families. My friends and I flip-flop between beach and lake houses each year. Love these stories!! (and the hoodies!
ooof. haven't had a vacation in 4 years. I miss 2019 so much.
Loved this podcast guys!🙃Brought back many memories from vacations in my past. My best vacation experience so far is definitely the West Highland Way in Scotland. This was my first multi-day hiking trip and just the pure freedom of having only three important things to care about each day (eat, sleep, walk) and walking wherever you feel like walking and sleeping wherever you feel like sleeping is exhilarating. Cannot recommend anything more than a trip like that. You can do them almost (wildcamping is the bottleneck) everywhere in the world😆
Recently went and did a white water rafting trip on the New River Gorge in West Virginia and it was an experience I won't soon forget! Also did some ziplining and hikes, such a beautiful state!
You make me think about asking my folks about all the moments on vacation with my sister and I that left a lingering imprint
Hey guys, loved the podcast as usual 😀. Saving for a special, once in a lifetime, trip is such a good idea. My partner and I saved GBP 45.00 per week since September 2013 for a month long trip to New Zealand. We went on the trip in September, it was incredible. The best bit for me was it has bought us closer together again ❤
My brother, sister, and my mom went on an Alaskan Cruise last year, my brother, mom, and I are doing Caribbean in January. This will be my first ever cruise. After this podcast I'm getting even more excited.
The best podcast
Favorite type of family vacation so far has been renting a log cabin house in the woods of minnesota for a week (log cabin resort type and not just a random one out in the middle of nowhere) and taking the time to see all the different little hole in the wall places that are unique to that area. My family made it a yearly thing and we made it a tradition to go to those same places every year
I've missed the last few episodes due to my father having a heart attack and 4 artery bypass, its good to get back in the groove of working and having time to listen to this podcast after a few weeks of distress and chaos. Thanks for the stability and positivity you guys provide, it mans a lot. Also, the obligatory YOU GUYS NEED TO INTERVIEW ETHO comment c:
The Rhett and Link Vacation song! I love it!
My husband and I watch every video put out by both of you on every channel and we love your content! You're both doing amazing work and you're such a big inspiration! I was listening to your podcast on the flight to our honeymoon last month where we got to tour Amsterdam, London and Paris for a handful of days each! Now we're playing catch up on all the phasmo streams ♥️ keep up the awesome work!
honestly my favourite vacation i've ever been on was christmas 2020. i went with two of my cousins, their dad, and his mom [aka our grandma]. we flew from texas to tennessee. that was the second time my cousins and i saw snow. we threw snowballs at each other, my cousin lost her phone in the snow, i got hit in the face with an ice ball by my younger cousin, it was great! our cabin wasn't ready by that night so we got a hotel room for one night; my grandma and i in one room and my cousins and their dad in another. my grandma, cousins, and i got into a bread fight where we would knock on each other's doors, throw bread in, then run. i'm surprised we didn't get kicked out
an alakan cruise is my husband and I's dream honeymoon! I hope you guys really enjoy it
My wife and I did an Alaskan cruise for our honeymoon. Absolutely loved it! We enjoyed it much more than the tropical cruises we tried later.
one thing to consider... CRUISE MEET-UP ... if 20-30 couples join then not only would the group might get a small discount, but Imp & Skizz could likely get free cruise... (not sure what is usual for cruises but group hotel "conventions" can comp one room for as small a group as 8-12 so about 10%)
THUMB UP ONLY IF YOU'D BOOK A MEET-UP CRUISE (assume adults only cruise for I&S family security)
Ok guys! Here me out here..... a Disney Cruise. If you think you have had good food and good service, just you wait. Disney goes above and beyond. My husband and I( no kids) went on for our Honeymoon 12 years ago and we were hooked! We have been on 12 total and #13 is booked for February. My absolute favorite way to vacation!!
Thank you for this at just the right time. My youngest is on the dance team and going to Disney World next June and then I found out recently my other kiddo has the chance to go to NY with her music program at school. It is hurting the pocketbook but oh the memories I will make with my youngest and my oldest will make with her Grandma in NY. Trips they will remember forever. Times will be tight but it is worth it. Thanks for validating that.
Cool things from Alaska from someone who lives there:
-realllly good ice cream shops in Anchorage and Fairbanks
-impeccable Japanese and Thai food
-lots of very good local breweries and meaderies (I don't drink, but they are very popular)
-Alaska Native Heritage Center in Anchorage has great history and craft demonstrations
-Denali National Park (overnight camping at Savage River = excellent)
-Exit Glacier and Mt. Marathon hikes in Seward are intense but worth the views (but don't eat the local taffy in town >_
These guys are much wealthier than I thought. Good for them! Makes you wish you were a youtuber
Love the Rhett and Link reference 😂
I've been to Puerto Villarta!! It absolutely beautiful!! The water was so nice and the sand was like powder. I had the opportunity to go parasailing and it was breathtaking. It was so peaceful. Just you and the your thoughts and the cool ocean breeze. one of my favorite vacations so far
This podcast was so funny :)
It might be because I live about an hour away from one of the most popular beaches in the US, but the beach has never really been a big thing for me. I'm very glad that there are people that enjoy it a lot (my dad included lol) but it's not for me
The entertainment director told us about one of his worst stories where someone jumped off and apparently if you're about 12 stories up you're done on impact but also the boat stays in place for up to 24 hours and the coast guard comes in. After 24 hours the boat is free to go.
I of course immediately googled the pink dolphin and all I find is pink dolphins 🤣
14:43 LITERALY thinking of the EXACT same song at that moment
my family just did our second trip to Florence, Italy this year (based on east coast US) and it has been incredible both times! We're definitely planning on going back because nothing beats that vacation feeling :D
Vacation idea: upper peninsula Michigan, lake Superior, Taquanamon falls and pictured rocks....
You're going to Love Alaska!! Im so glad you're going to get to come up North!! Haines is one of our favourite places to visit and fish! 😊 and seeing the cruise ships go by to Skagway is pretty cool.
Oh my gosh! If you stop in Skagway and get to do an excursion to Carcross?! Do it do it do it!!
I went to Spain for a high school trip over 16 years ago, I took my parents along as chaperones and they fell in love with Benalmedina, a city on the coast of the Mediterranean. They went back a few times in the years afterwards, but this year I got to join them. Returning back to that city was incredible, it was like it never changed, but at the same time it did. The weather is beautiful and so many things to do that's just a short drive or walk away. Highly recommend, try going in the off season, or just before/after the vacation seasons start (June-Oct) We went in May and it was *perfect*
Best vacation I ever took was to Zao in Japan. It’s an exploded volcano that the inside has become a kind of lake. It’s a big climb up, but once you get up there, you hike along the rim of this massive thing and one misstep could have you sliding for a while. But it’s beautiful if you can see it right as the clouds part and you can actually look down into the basin.
After that was the waterfalls and hot springs you can go to. My wife and I stayed in a small bed and breakfast with a small coed hot spring that we could both enjoy together while looking out the window at this beautiful endless forest.
I went on that Alaska cruise with family years ago; rode a train and saw the dogsleds too- it was fun. I hope you have an awesome time! I've heard that when the cruise ship passes the glaciers, the exercise / treadmill room is an awesome place to be: cool view while exercising and not many people crowding around :) (Thanks for sharing your silly stories!)
I like to listen to these when i skate so I often dont get tk them right away. Ive been on a couple cruises and loved each one! However my favorite vacation spot is Idaho/Wyoming. My family and husband have gone camping out there many times. Its a couple days drive but everytime the scenery and memories are worth it! Jackson hole, square icecream, huckleberries, and the tetons are just a few things I'll never forget. Its so nice to just disconnect from everything and explore and enjoy it ^-^
