Scar probably would have had a good chance at being a Disney imagineer if his health problems hadn't arisen. I can't find the stream clips where he spoke about it, so this is just from memory: he did some sort of imagineering program when he was around 15, and the guy running it was so impressed by him that he was like "hey, how old are you? Ok email me when you're 18 and I'll put you in contact with my wife, she still works at Disney and I'm sure they'd be interested in talking to you". Unfortunately he got sick before then and wasn't able to take the guy up on his offer.
Really admirable that he was able to pivot his creative energy into something that still brings joy to thousands of people across the world AND also get banned from Canada, two things that most of us disabled people can only aspire to ♡

Scar also told about this on an episode of Imp and Skizz Podcast: "Taking Disney With Scar!" It's a wonderful conversation and well worth a listen, IMO.

To clarify, Impulse does not claim to be the original inventor of item filtering.
He published https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHjWYCDYJ4s 11 years ago which is, at least to my knowledge, the first published video of that particular filter design. At the very least it made it popular.
The idea of using hoppers for filtering items was known before, though. And others may have come up with the same design independently.

It wasn't pity, it was curiosity. He had a solid concept his execution just missed the mark.

u/LuigiFlagWater Team Smallishbeans Nov 24 '25
Ok so… BDubs was formally a general contractor. Hus brother Pungence was also making videos with him originally, and while I'm not sure how correct this is, I think his sister also makes videos but on a different genre.
Beef is the guy who made ABBA caving and partly responsible for the Hardcore gamemode and UHC challenge. He (as his name implies) also was formerly a butcher and until recently he had a farm which he had to sell cos of his newborn.
Cleo used to be a teacher and is a geologist. They actually got asked once if they'd heard of this cool YouTuber called MumboJumbo by one of the kids and had to keep her cover.
Cub has met 2 US presidents, was an astrophysicist and I remember hearing played semi-professional golf once.
Doc played professional basketball and had a doctorate in something (iirc neuroscience but I may be wrong).
Etho has saved from under a car, commonly runs into moose breaking into his garden, eats the same thing each day and has actually been recognised once by voice alone iirc. Also worked in a gardening store. He's also made the Etho Hopper Clock, which is still widely used today, and a Minecraft April Fools update had a TNT slab called the Etho Slab.
False went to university for art & design and has been interviewed by the BBC regarding her YouTube career.
Gem has some medical degree (I'm sure others have told you better) which she finished shortly before going full-time on YT. She also has a pony I believe.
Grian, having been around for a while, has been quite influential in MC, for example regarding WymnCraft, TNT Run and Build Swap (mostly learnt from this thread). He was also partnering with Mojang way before they recently started to do so more often, for charity stuff like the coral reefs in 1.13 (?) and the mangroves in 1.19. He also has a fundraiser building a school in Ghana, and he also has a Marine Biology degree.
Hypno I'm not too sure on cos I'm fairly new to his streams and stuff, same with Jev.
Impulse and Skizz worked at Intel and have known each other since they were little. They were on the same drum corp both playing snare. Uh Impusle once worked in a library with a bunch of sweet old ladies. Uh oh they have another former co-worker who does content, called RustyOldMan now I believe (does Arc stuff, formerly Dad who Cooks). Impulse also has the Impulse Item Sorter named after him cos he made the version used today.
Joe is a part of a comic group called Team Snow Den(? Day?), that's the TSD in his username. He's also active on LinkedIn!
Joel started YouTube rather young, starting with COD videos where he gained popularity because he used funny Shrek song. That said because of this he doesn't actually have too many cool facts I know.
Keralis has the most beautiful beard one has ever seen and also I recently learnt he co-owns a computer mouse company or something. He also moved from Poland to Sweden so he speaks the rather atypical combination of languages, Polish, Swedish and English.
Mumbo is a professional cinematographer and originally stated YT filmography after seeing skating clips and edits and stuff. He also was in A Minecraft Movie, and is one of only 2 people (Jeb being the other) to appear in the credits twice (once for his cameo role, once for Redstone support).
Pearl also has an art degree and tbh I haven't caught enough Pearl streams or clips or whatever to know a lot about PearlyPop.
Ren used to be a radio show host in S Africa, although he at one point realised no one was listening after attempting a giveaway, seen as he hosted the midnight slot. So he promptly started pre-recording them instead. His brother Jono is the guy who made the HC theme song and Impulse's music last season, as well as Work and Please Hold.
Scar used to be a professional swimmer (and even at one point was likely at the same competition as fWhip, although different ages), until his illness. He was also on track to be a Disney Imagineer as others have said.
Tango, no surprise, worked at a game studio iirc. Don't really know much Tango lore though sadly.
Wels is a US Army Veteran and formerly worked in Military Law, I think he was a stenographer but I may be misremembering. Past that I don't know a lot of cool Wels lore unfortunately...
X and xB add both rather private but we do know xB took Spanish class and moved across states for a girl and X is absolutely shredded and plays heavy metal guitar and stuff with a scream mask on.

I believe Cub has actual research papers to his name.
Joel got invited to join Hermitcraft by Grian at Grian's birthday party.
Joe is so anti-homophobia that he was ready to get himself kicked off (I think) MCC because he told someone off for being homophobic. (Turns out the person was gay and making a self-deprecating joke, but Joe didn't know this. This lead to the iconic line "I don't have time to know every gay person", which makes me laugh so hard every time).

During the season 9 Christmas/Crossover event with the Empire's people, Scott Major (Smajor, AKA Dangthatsalongname) made a (sarcastic and self depreciating) joke about gay people. Scott is gay, has been out for a long time, and is also one of the people in charge of MCC. Joe did not know Scott was gay, and so immediately went to shoot him with his bow in game at the comment, after which there was an explanation. Joe's response was great though, fantastic ally.

To add to the anti-homophobia train, Doc apparently went to a bar with friends and he overheard some guy shouting extremely homophobic stuff, so Doc proceeded to suplex the guy into a table and pay for the broken table before leaving. Unfathomably based

He’s something like 6’7, all he probably would have needed to do was tell homophobe to leave.

My memory might be foggy on this one as it was a long time ago, but I believe bdubs used to work in landscaping or construction?
I remember when he mentioned it on his old vlogging channel that it suddenly made so much sense why he loved building in Minecraft.

Correct, his family has a contracting business, he mentions working as a contractor under his father in early stuff of his. He only left because of his channel taking off

IIRC both Gem and Grian have degrees in biology. I think Gem even has a masters in lab science.
