Mumbo is the jerk who got me back into Minecraft after dismissing it as a stupid kid's game (I'm in my 50s) for years. And via Mumbo, I got introduced to Hermitcraft. I blame him for countless hours of laughter, learning and just plain ol' fun. I mean... I could have found a better way to spend my time, but why? Thanks Mumbo. And Thank you Imp & Skizz, for bring him on the PCast. Y'all are the best,

[dekmar]

Imp & Skizz: tell us all your secrets, also how are you such an amazing human?
Mumbo: it's actually quite simple.

[aliceinwonderland]

I love how Mumbo can't stand still in Minecraft, and over here too he's waving his hands around so much

[lyvaellaevans]

Mumbo: "I love humans." Imagine what our world could be if we all had that perspective.

[myndfields]

seeing Mumbo be his charming, goofy self, Really makes me want a Bdubs appearance. Being one of the O.G. minecrafter's I'm sure you guys could talk forever.

"Just me and my mum"

I think that little line provides quite an insight to where the wonderful character came from

[eledatowle]

To Ollie's Mum: You, Ma'am, have raised a stellar young man! The way that he cares about each person who wants to meet him and treats them as equals... That says a lot.

[laartje]

2:45 That instantly brings me back to watching the NASA space launch live online, and someone in the chat shouting out of nowhere: "MUMBO FOR MAJOR." That was the moment I realised how big your channel was.

[forevercrypticshadow]

I am currently a teacher in Japan and I remember one day a couple of years ago one of my 2nd graders suddenly burst out in class "I want to go home and watch Mumbo Jumbo redstone videos" and I thought that was so awesome how widespread his reach was. Across age, culture, and geography he's done a great job of reaching a wide audience.

[epicthief]

Love that Scar and Mumbo both started with CoD videos on YouTube

[Araoz]

42:43 "Sometimes full commitment to a stupid idea comes out with some of the very best videos."
-- Mumbo Jumbo

[ElenHalls]

Skizz commending Mumbo on his effort and energy for his fans made me cry. That hit me right in the feels. These three are just such amazing and wholesome people. I hope to meet them some day so I can thank them for lifting my spirit every single day in person.

[Facesofthestranger]

Love that Impulse mentioned that editing a 20 minute video well can mean it doesn't feel like 20 minutes. Saw his 1 hour, 45 minute video last week and it definitely felt much faster.

[duwang]

Him being good at call of duty really makes his 6 kills as a zombie make more sense, given the chance to revive he’s more willing to make bold decisions and strategic manuvers

[Geographus]

28:30 I just have this image in my head of Mumbo talking to his mom about his YT-channel like someone who is comming out to his parents.

Like "Mom, I have a confession to make, I don't think I can hide it for much longer and I just want to be honest with you ... I am a Youtuber"

[LostColtmusic]

Guys if either of y’all see this pass along to Mumbo that his last short is reminiscent of my all time favourite Looney Tunes short, Duck Amuck, where Daffy finds himself in a battle with the animator of his own cartoon. It’s absolutely hilarious.

[bloodreign]

Mumbo today and decked out tomorrow can't ask for a better weekend line up!

[infinitevanguard]

Listening to mumbo talk about himself makes me smile. He is such a humble dude, its really crazy.

That short when I first saw it I was actually confused by what was going on. It was pure genius tbh.
Mumbo was my first hermit. I started watching his vids back in lockdown during 2020 purely for his redstone contraptions even though I'd never be able to build em in a million years, then one day I decided to start watching the Hermitcraft stuff starting at the beginning of season 7 and never regretted it for a moment.
This of course lead to me watching Grian (podcast with him when?), Scar, Bdubs, and on and on it went.

I think an hour was just not long enough to hear Mumbo's stuff. I loved every minute of it. ❤
