- "What was an aspect of creating MythBusters that wasn't suitable to be on-screen, but you wish more people knew about?" "How did you develop such a good relationship with the people at the bomb range, fire department and other governmental agencies?" and "How many different myths were you working on at the same time?" Tested Patron members Grovespaz, Andrew Myren and Fix It Tony asked these questions during our Nov. 9 live stream, and we thank them for their support and great questions!

What was delivered during the taping of this episode?
A legend of our time Adam and the team, just a huge thankyou for one of the best shows that helped shape a generation ;-)
Love your show but you pronounce Louisville Kentucky wrong and I think you know that. I will be expecting a correction in your pronunciation of Louisville next video. Thank you. ....its lou-a-vull, ky.
I know I thought the, I forget what was called, like synthetic telepathy was an episode I'm guessing more can be detailed... though was controversial. Similar the the brown note episode. There is more to the details to perform the wireless sound, body and mind control effects that unfortunately are assault weapons like being disclosed more in the main stream media as "health attacks" the last few years again... post 1980's disclosures where straight up wireless mind control without implants was demonstrated by Dr. Jose Delgado. Guessing an insurgency using didn't want disclosed in the 80's and makes sense since more international ownership in the U.S. started to happen around then. Profanic Ministries I feel I did on some days man... I know the feeling.
It is good to hear what all processes need to be taken to protect life and property,,,
As we had neighbors here when the show was on the air making explosives setting them off and making small earth quakes and filling the ground move from the explosions here !! Nearly 1500 feet a way , It often scared me that shrapnel may fall on my head when hearing and filling explosions peoples was doing here !!!
"Left every location better than we found it" This comment brings back memories of all those run-ins with the fence at the runway...
yeah, how many times did they have to fix that fence? lol
And the cannon ball ;)
@@jaysomdahl8707 lol, I forgot about that x3
My first thought was Scouts
Happened like 3 times then became like an inside gag and then happened several more times after lmao
"I wish we did this...but I'm the reason we didn't." 😂
As soon as he said that I understood why.
I must have missed that bit...
I would have pictured Jamie to be more of the swear like a sailor type ... but no engineering gets done without a healthy dose of invective, the more creative the better.
@@-MrFozzy- not a direct quote. He's referring to the "story meeting" filming comments
@@mattvs5286 thank you sir, you’re a good human
Adam: "I had a tendency to go way off topic with tangential anecdotes"
Also Adam: "Next question is from Fix It Tony - by the way, when you're talkikng about two-seater sports cars-"
Yes, without even realising it, he just gave us an insight to those planning meetings.
up next: Exhibit A
This what I love about Adam though he makes every story interesting by adding his only little thoughts into everything
I saw this comment before that moment and expected like 30 or 40 seconds of tangent... it was like three or four minutes! 😂
I relate... lol
A high school buddy of mine was Italian and had a Fiat we joked with him about...my Dad goes by Tony and he was a self-taught handyman-yeah my handle is sort of homage to him and the stuff he taught me.
That reminds me of a time we were building his current house and the framer (Italian himself including accent) responded to one of my Dad’s comments saying, “Tony, we do it right because we do it twice!”
Great video! Thank you for all you do!
Can the man get a pin for his reply? Adam answered Tony's question, and Tony obliges to answer Adam's question. It's beautiful.
Glad I read the comments, just for this answer!
Haha!! Nice!
Very surprised this isn't pinned 😂
Fix It Again Tony
I could literally watch a whole tv series with the title "Making a TV Show with Adam Savage"
And I say this as someone who works on set.
I would watch a show called "Adam Savage's Thought Process"
"Welcome to _Making a TV Show with Adam Savage_ . In this episode, we are following Adam in making an episode of [insert any mythbuster/Adam Builds/Dangerous Toys or similar] from beginning to end."
I always wanted Mike Rowe to do a Dirty Jobs episode cleaning up after a Myth Busters shoot.
That would have been epic. And hilarious.
The pig corvette
The Mythbusters have questioned the truth of that age-old expression, "You can't polish a turd!" What do I have to do with this? You guessed it. We're going to the zoo, to collect some poo! Please join us, for another episode of Dirty Jobs!
The crossover i never even knew i needed. 11 year old me woulda been so hyped
@@buddyclem7328 this would have been legendary
Having been a member of the "Bomb Squad" for years, I can tell you that every bomb tech will run at the opportunity to use explosives, especially if we can do something grand an learn from others.
Sweet. What's your favorite thing you've blown up
well it is fun. and destroying things has it own appeal. and if someone else is paying the bill even better.
a bomb is designed to explode. thats its meaning. thats its purpose. your life is empty because you spend it trying to prevent the bomb from becoming.
Would imagine a relationship with bomb squads, FDs, and PDs was enhanced by listening to them in all things concerning safety.
Yes. It is fun to use explosives and learn from it and others.
I remember the Jaws myth (shooting a dive cylinder to make it explode), and how the FBI sent someone to watch and learn, since someone could conceivably use something like that for terrorist purposes. I totally get how law enforcement would take a keen interest in these types of episode, and want to help make them happen.
Lol as if the FBI didn’t already know about the idea of blowing up pressured canisters
@@jamesbizs Probably not often that they can get a TV crew to pay for a day filled with repeated experiments to determine best trigger method and potential damage capabilities. That's the sort of budget request that the FBI boss will stamp "REJECTED" every time, up until someone does it as a crime.
@@johnladuke6475 well it's free data... Plus it gonna be in public knowledge... Might as well get the information first ...
@@PrograError that could also make suggestions if they’re on location
@@davidlane256 I doubt they would for some of the stuff... Tho the explosive stuff... Everyone's a kid inside with that...
I love Adam's reactions to little random interruptions, like "oh, I'm getting a package" to "quiet you". Don't know why, but I find it endearing and charming. 😄
Who is surprised that his doorbell is the "Close encounters" tune?
@@christopherdean1326 Nah, just the Westminster chime
@@myitbos1335 Sounded more like "CE3" to me....
Adam is a good example of someone who has harnessed his ADD powers for good--I mean that in a positive sense. Some people are consumed by scattered thoughts, branching what-if scenarios, or inability to sort the wheat from the chaff, mentally speaking. Adam seems to have lots of scattered thoughts, but is able to categorize and prioritize those thoughts and use them to his benefit. You can see that in the way his workshop is organized. Where some people just have one pile of junk in a big pile, Adam has the same amount of 'stuff', but it's organized and sorted in a way that makes sense to him.
@@robot_spider I couldn't agree more! He's definitely a role model for the ADHD community. ❤
Fun fact: There's a german version of that FIAT joke, which is "Fehler in allen Teilen" (failure in all parts)
Oder: Ferrari in außergewöhnlicher Tarnung
In Brazil we used to say "Fui iludido, agora é tarde" (I got cheated, now it´s too late). But that was old FIAT cars, now they are great.
Für Italiener Ausreichende Technik (Technology (only) sufficient for Italians).
The Dutch versions are:
"Fiasco In Auto Techniek".......(Fiasco/Failure In Car Engineering)
"Ford In Afgedankte Toestand".....(Ford In A Disused Condition)
in poland we have a "3x F rule", which describes which cars not to buy. the 3 F's are:
Fiat, Ford, French.
and my parents were always breaking those rules ever since i remember, and thus far, i break it too.
I always figured the bomb squad bros loved you so much was the same reason I loved the show so much. If it doesn't blow up...then you _make_ it blow up.
So true. They didn't let us down! I wonder just how many tons of explosives were detonated over the production of Mythbusters?
@@SplendidFellow You should mention that on his twitter, or some other platform. That would be really cool to find out!
@@SplendidFellow i think they could probably do a few more anfo cement truck explosion while packing it to the top with the amount of explosives... That probably would be the largest non-nuke explosion if put together... (IIRC the largest non-nuke explosion in military was the one in WWII Britain in this munition dump/ storage)
@@PrograErrorI thought the largest was the Halifax harbour explosion in WWI.
This trip down memory lane has me missing Mr. Grant Imahara. Still a happy memory just not as happy.
"arise my son" 😔😥
Ya Grant had a big role on that team..... Don't think it could have been the same with out him.. Tho all the main cast had key roles.. The new faces just never seamed to have the same click...
The way Adam's eyes light up as he starts talking about Mythbusters. What a genuine soul
My wife and I went to MythBusters Live in Portland, and really enjoyed it. At one point Adam laid on a bed on names and pretty much immediately yelled "SHIT!" and then looked shocked and said "This is a family show!", easily the funniest part of the show.
I like how he proceeds to go on a tangent about FIATs after explaining his tendency to go on tangents in discussions
Thanks for the shoutout, Adam! We appreciate the love.
If you guys don't hook the man up with one of the new(er) 124 Spiders so we can watch him take delivery of it, you're doing it wrong!
Actually, just send it to me. I'll make sure it gets to him, after a nice cross-country shakedown drive ; )
I thought he was going to mention “does a rolling stone collect moss” episode. That was like 6 months wasted...... if I’m remembering correctly.
You´d think you would be able to interview like a dozen people in less time, musicians or not.
Yeah, if I recall that was more Grant, Kari, Tori project
@@nilsschenkel7149 God.. damn.
@@Seruphin you’re 100% right about it being Danielle Tori and Grant’s project, but I remember being really shocked cause Adam looked genuinely upset with them about it not being correct. Lol Do you remember what they did wrong?
Can someone fill me in on what happened?
Even though as a young adult I curse like a sailor, I appreciate you keeping it clean on TV because I was one of those kids who watched Mythbusters (and my parents were semi strict with swear words). It was my favorite show growing up.
"Left every location better than we found it"
An action often overlooked and undervalued by many members of society. This goes a long way in terms of respect and I'm sure every location host was very appreciated of this mindset.
Would absolutely love to see an episode of Tested with Jamie or Kari or even Tory. Not sure what you would do with them, just really enjoyed seeing the mesh of personalities together.
in another video I forget one he said he doubted he'd ever work with Jamie again
"When kids curse, it's just gross, I don't wanna hear it."
*This man speaks the truth, let us all follow his wise words.*
Fuck that.
@@mikelovvorn2222 Same. I've got no problem with kids cursing, given that, like Adam, I do so in normal conversations, too.
Just weird and a bit hypocritical
I wish my 9yr old listened to his wise words
Idk thinking that kids can’t use words that we call swears I hope becomes a thing of the past at some point.
Swearing is a really good tool to express emotion and if you teach kids how and when to use it instead of just saying “don’t swear” you make you kids smarter and you respect the fact that kids aren’t innocent beings. They are people and there is no studies saying that kids swearing is something bad psychologically other than adults that have themselves to blame for cringing when kids swear.
All this talk of MythBusters made me remember the passing of Grant. RIP Grant
Rip grant, he was taken far too soon
ouch....indeed
I've cried during every episode of the last season of Mythbusters, culminating in watching the last episode through tears in my eyes almost the entire time. Granted, I've had a smile on my face too. Thank you, you've made my childhood amazing, you've taught me to understand and not to fear. Finding this channel, years ago, even Jamie was still making appearances, made me squee with joy, I can have your enthusiasm and knowledge on demand any time I want. The whole team of Mythbusters and Tested is doing a great service to so many lives around the world, thank you!
Mythbusters was probably one of the most uniquely brilliant and inspiring TV shows that has ever and will ever be brought to audiences.
Can you imagine the impact you had if 5 years later people still ask you questions about it.
This reminds me of something my grandpa has always engrained into my brain while growing up: “A job’s never done until everything’s cleaned up.”
Adam could easily sub in for Christopher Lloyd in a remake of the back to the future trilogy.
I remember the Jaws myth (shooting a dive cylinder to make it explode), and how the FBI sent someone to watch and learn, since someone could conceivably use something like that for terrorist purposes. I totally get how law enforcement would take a keen interest in these types of episode, and want to help make them happen.
Adam as Doc Brown and Tom Holland as Marty Mc Fly
Bttf 4 have we finally go to far 4 $ lol
@@AlarahCA No remake. Please do not ever mention it again. To speak of such things is a curse.
When I see how Adam talks about Mythbusters, I can tell that he really does miss doing that show. I know they say they will never work together again, but I think Adam would be the most likely one to be interested in doing something with Jame, even if it was just a "one time" deal. I really don't know if Jamie would be up to it though. I have only seen a handful of videos from after Mythbusters ended where he even mentions the show, but he is hard to read and I can not tell if that is something he might enjoy doing even if it is only a "one time thing" .One thing is for certain, if they did, I'd watch it.
Because they have such similar experience and profession, but the disagree in a normally very mature way, I've thought it would be cool to pit their problem solving skills against eachother in fun ways. They sort of did this on the show, they would each focus on a different route to solve the same problem, and mash something together at the end.
Maybe they could each direct seperate teams of guests, competing in some engineering challenge. Like each episode a different challenge. Example, build a combat robot in 1 day, using only hammers as bot weapons, and clear acrylic for armor/structure.
Or, which team can build the best human powered water pumping device.
Or human powered electrical generator.
Most seaworthy duct tape boat.
Most indestructible briefcase.
Longest Rube Goldberg machine.
Which team can build the best robot arm out of only wood and rope, to perform tasks.
Losing creations are sent off cement truck style at the end of each episode.
I've heard Adam said once that the two of them, Adam and Jamie, don't like each other very much, but they still work together very well. I feel that describes a maturity in both of them which managed to come through when the show was being presented.
I could listen to Adam for hours.
I NEED a complete series dvd or bluray of mythbusters! I dont have money for premium pizza, but i would buy that!
You are not alone at wanting a blu-ray set of the complete show
With commentaries!
YES I WOULD BUY FOR LIKE $500
I want it on DVD, but for reasons unknown Discovery won't take our money!
I believe Hulu has the complete series but I still want them on bluray to
"Am I missing a eye brow" Adam Savage
"Let me just put my mouth into this vaccum motor" also Adam Savage
He eventually married the woman he was dating that night, so they really did leave every location better than they found it.
@@1FatLittleMonkey We like to blow stuff up, but fix stuff... that would be an extra show they could do, taking broken things and just put everything into making them work again.
"My dignity and good television will never meet." - Adam
@@SplendidFellow Umm that's not true.
"Left every location better than we found it" I feel a Purple Teifling is smiling down on Adam at this time.
Bidet!
One word I would use to describe Adam based on this channel: personable.
savage :P
When in doubt, C-4!
Yos
The most serious of putty varieties
I love two things about this. One is that it's pretty cool hearing about the production process like this. Lots of shows do bonus episodes and specials where they show some behind the scenes stuff, but it's cool to hear about some of the stuff that goes on without any cameras at all, especially because a lot of these things will vary from show to show.
The other thing is that I just think it's a bit interesting that Asam is one of the few people to turn a TV career into a CZcams career, when most people go the other way. Even other celebrities that have delved into CZcams don't usually seem to approach it like him/you (depending on who's reading). For most it's like Twitter or Facebook, an additional way to interact with their fans and stay relevant, but Adam had basically gone full CZcamsr. At the same time though, I feel like if I were to predict ten years ago which TV names would wind up being big on CZcams, Adam Savage would definitely be high on the list. He's always seemed like someone who would really flourish under this kind of platform, with more creative freedom and fewer limitations than network TV.
I also appreciate the effort to keep your content kid friendly.
I was an army engineer and in AIT we were introduced to time fuse with bodily injury risk. The DI would burn a length of fuse from a spool and time it for all of us to witness. Then cut the fuse lengths depending on an assigned position on the explosive range. The DI would individually supervise everyone crimping blasting caps, inverting it into a stick of tnt and once everyone was set, each of us ignited our fuse and set the tent at our feet. We weren’t allowed to move until everyone ignited their fuse then we orderly walked off the range. Within 10 minutes each stick blew up within moments of each other
I can't imagine Adam cursing. Just suddenly tossing out an F-bomb. Funniest thing I can think about right now lol
Makes me wish for a "Mythbusters: After-hours!"
11:20 You also very memorably rebuked any attempt at manufactured drama.
Which was very inspiring to see and hear about not too long after.
As a video pro, I want to complain about your focus but Adam, your persona and amazing stories draw me in to the extent that I could care less about your autofocus. I'm beyond happy that you make these videos and please don't stop until you die. And damn it, never die.
I was at the same convention here in Louisville when you guys were there. Good times were had by all!!!
Adam Savage could give a master class on how to construct a TV show - over and above the actual engineering that might go into the segments, the though process on how to create and the perspective he shared here is truly amazing to listen to. Thanks so much for posting!
Adam's unending, yet endlessly interesting tangents, keep reminding me of when my grandpa told me stories about the aftermath of the Civil War and how life was back in his age... like, he would start telling you about how his father cared for his cows, and end up telling you about how he'd have lunch with the Romanis whenever they'd set up camp nearby xD
Who else wants to see a video where Adam recites some of his favorite dirty jokes?
Likely never happen, prison material
Yes I'd like to hear that.
@@kendarr or HR problem...
I would pay to hear his version of The Aristocrats...
not really
I believe there are no bad words just words used badly.
Agreed. A word is a word, context is everything.
Like the F word?
Either a verb for a "one night stand" or descriptive for someone mucking it up... I prefer to think the latter...
That's nonsense.lol.
@@nealsterling8151 Who decided it was a bad word then? What specifically makes a word bad? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.
@@jeremyowen1 reference George Carlin’s 7 words you can’t say on tv.
dun dun...."Quiet you" (Adam scolds an interrupting shop creation)
Pretty sure that was an Alexa. The sound plays not long after an Amazon package is delivered to inform the buyer.
Dear Adam, my son (29) and I (64) miss the M.B. very very very much!! It was a so amazing 'series' that you always made, we just beyond loved it!! Thanks for that XXXXXX Pinkie
Some of the best tv memories I have are from watching Mythbusters with my family. Every episode, every laugh, every failed myth, they were all great no matter what happened. You and Jamie, Grant, Tory and Kari had such a great working relationship from what we could see every week. It was the most magical hour of television to ever grace the screen.
I just imagine how fun for you must have been the collaborations with Simone Giertz! Apart for her fantastic building skills she swears so creatively!
mythbusters was my favorite show growing and shaped so much about how i view the world and who i am as a person.
I spent my summers off from school watching every episode!
It's unlikely that you'll ever see this, but I just want you to know that, more than two years after posting, fans are still finding and loving these videos. Thanks for sharing: It's really interesting stuff.
Bomb squads don't usually launch hot water heaters, I bet. Still my favorite.
Lol for me it is and will always be the cement truck 😂 the noise was just *chef kisses* so perfect and memorable
My dad, a safety engineer before he retired, used the hot water heater episode in some of his training sessions (and with some of his more stubborn clients) after I made him watch it. It managed to surprise people every single time. Good memories.
@@AmethystRS-id1tm "and that's why you're paying the big bucks"
@@fallensway855 I wished that they had the super slo mo camera before that scene. I still can’t believe how fast the truck disappeared. Good memories.
No but, given the chance they sure would!😂
I love that he tells us that he wishes he could have let us see the writers room process... then proceeds to go full "writers room anecdote" at Fixit Tony's user name.
“...doing something as simple as dumping ten gallons of vegetable oil on the ground...”
You know, something we all do on a weekly, if not daily, basis. :P. Love you Adam, never change.
I'm trying to remember, which episode did they do this?
@@davidshi451 I don't recall either, but I have a suspicion that the flaming cooking oil myth had quite a lot of potential spillage.
@David Shi I suspect it was the James Bond car episode. They subbed in vegetable oil for the more traditional oil slick to see if it could make a car spin out.
Honestly, I do “get” you after watching this. Inventing more than a program and dealing with people. Listening. Learning. Doing.
Wow. Best show you’ve ever done.
Adam , lets be real for a minute. You gotta bring mythbusters back. I understand it wont be exactly the way it was but the show was SO good in SO many ways and I don't know why it ended but it needs to come back. I miss it. You miss it. Everyone here misses it. What are we doing if were not doing what we love?
In Germany we call FIAT "Fehler in allen Teilen" which transnlates to "mistakes in every part"
Stolen
Adam I really love how humble you are about the experiences you had with Discovery and your production team. Also, as a fellow curser I commiserate in the struggle of communication in a public setting.
Yup... I miss the explosions. If a little C-4 is good, more must be better.
What you said about the relationship with the bomb squad, cops, property owners and the other... that rings so true with independent film makers as well. Just showing up and gorilla style filming can make you enemies and not welcome to other locations. Building those relationships makes the difference between being a nuisance and being welcome back. I know some adults who need to learn that lesson because it's not just the high school creators and film school kids making that mistake and making it harder for the rest of us to work.
Man, Adam. The energy you bring to the things you care about is so genuine and so infectiously delightful. It's a joy to see you do what you do and to hear how you've done it, and you make the days of the world better just by being in them. Thank you for everything.
Adam Savage, I'd like to know how well you got along with Discovery's legal team and insurance rep.
Didn't he say on an episode of the show that they chewed him out for trying some dangerous stunt himself? That could have been Tori, though
I guess you've been in television too long when you said story meetings...
I understood exactly what you meant, and exactly why those meetings are *never* recorded before you even laid it out on camera!
The sequence around 14:00 reminds me of an old show biz cliche I learned in college: "Don't want it now, want it Thursday. Don't want it good, want it Thursday." Usually produces results "good enough." And a useful guideline for anybody who HAS TO meet a deadline.
It is a pleasure to see the independent content from someone who is so successful with a similar mind and social mannerisms that I have and many people don't understand.
I accidentally take over the meetings too and for some reason it consistently leads to promotions but less friends.
Anyway.
I hope you remember coming to Loveland Colorado, you said that it was the largest crowd you've had on your tour. I spent all of the money I had left to get good seats. I had nothing less than a smile on my face from ear to ear as you jogged past me to get a volunteer. I don't remember what you said exactly so I'm paraphrasing here, as you jogged past you said something like, "let's get someone from the cheap seats, they paid to be here too" and you physically lifted someone out of the stands at the very end of the building. My smile turned into tears of joy.
I would give almost anything to share caves with you and do a one day build.
One thing Adam didn't mention about getting along with bomb squads... Bomb techs love to make things go boom in a safe environment. Failing making things go boom, they love to watch other people make things go boom when done safely. Asking the bomb squad to be present and supervise would be icing on the cake. As a former bomb tech, I would equate that to a Physicist being invited to Cern.
I miss Mythbusters. I'd love to see Jamie and Adam just chatting about it on this channel sometime, though I fear Jamie has no interest in it. Thanks for the wonderful answers and all the fun and knowledge you've pass on Adam!
I miss seeing your MB show. I loved seeing Buster dropped at Mare Island. It brought back many memories since I was stationed there back in 1976 in the Navy.
Being in CT my wife bought me tickets to your show in Hartford CT and my 2 boys went, because they loved your show as well. Because of your show my 2 boys love engineering. My oldest is a mechanical engineer working in the aerospace industry and my younger son is a freshman and wants to be a mechanical engineer as well.
I too was into Broadcasting for the major sports broadcast company in CT being an Electrical/Broadcasting engineer and still mentor Robotics for our local high school, now that I'm retired. Your show was awesome and a blast!
I miss it and remembered your demonstration of serial and parallel data transfer with your Mona Lisa painting on stage. That is none forgettable. Be well and stay safe.
Another reason Cops and Firefighters loved you guys...boredom. Most careers are 20-25 years of routine boredom spiced up by a (hopefully) few moments of terror and heartbreak. Having an interesting production visit and invite you, however tangentially, to participate is an antidote to boredom and greatly appreciated.
Mythbusters made learning and being smart cool. When I was a kid in the 70's and 80's, smart was nerdy and got me beat up and ridiculed.
"Get yourself a Fiat Spiderman!"
I have been watching you sense I was 12. I am now 28. You basically supplied my education outside of school, and provided me with an edge of knowledge that I believe help make me who I am today. Thank you ! Mr savage.
Myth Busters was a blessed show. It's so good to hear stuff about the behind the scenes and hear it felt that way to you, too.
You will notice his nature he is talking about when Simone pulls a dirty joke or a curse word. Adam doesn't show a trace of a negative reaction while some people around are shocked.
As a fellow person who paces around the room waving arms and shouting/cussing about new exciting ideas during brainstorming sessions; I knew exactly what you meant by, "I was the reason."
Man do I miss the Mythbusters. I’m so glad that Adam does this...that enthusiasm never goes away!
The mental joy of recognizing and solving things as they arise is sublime . It exists in so many forms including, I can report, driver instructing. Probably small-acre farming. Sports. Etc....
.
This episode definitely explains why you would show up to projects on episodes half way through and have a whole new outlook and energy, lol
Also, it's nice to see someone explain science like an art
I could literally listen to these myth busters stories all day.
I grew up on Mythbusters. Thank you for all the memories Adam! I miss you Jamie and all the gang making me laugh and teaching me all kinds of cool and wacky things, and most of all, the explosions.
Myth Busters did something that is sad absent in our public school system; Your crews showed inquiring minds how to think through the details of whatever caught our attention. You taught us how to to "think". And you, Adam continue to do so on the social media you release. Thank You.
Adam’s description of his way of thinking and talking during their meetings is the most ADHD thing I’ve heard in a while, I can relate with it immensely. 😂
I’ve got a question, is it true that a Mythbusters episode was erased entirely, footage destroyed, crew paid off, because you accidentally found out a very harmful mix of common ingredients? Not asking what it is I just have doubts as to whether it happened or not.
I think you are correct, I think I heard it in a live Q&A, also there's another myth about bypassing credit card security that was not aired by request of the credit card companies.
Here it is:

hey Adam my name is Wyatt I've been living in California all my life i'm 21 years old now and i still love what you did and what you do. the hours of entertainment and inspiration I've gotten from watching you guys is amazing and I'm grateful for it. thank you Adam and Jamie ... and RIP grant i cried my eyes out when i heard what happen. ♥
Thank you Adam, for making this year a bit more bearable for us.

Working the last 30 years for a large(est) municipality in the Bay Area, the last 12 years in a department that issues certain types of permits, the relationship you had to acquire these permits in short order, while going through proper procedures, those aforementioned hoops, is astounding. Kudos to producer Linda cuz that aint easy...Its not out of the question, and strong relationships that usually take a while to cultivate and harvest are KEY! You were blessed.
Glad to hear you talk! I love the content y'all created and I grew up learning from and watching Myth Busters.
HI Adam. I just wanted to say, that while Mythbusters was great, I have watched far more screen time of you since discovering Tested than I ever did of MB.
What a perfect description of ADHD.
It's amazing how these videos are just as fun to watch as the actual mythbusters episodes.
Thanks for graciously answering questions about "your former job". The show was big and important, and folks like to hear the details from off-camera.
Very Interesting. I didn't even know this was considered to be filmed.
I reject your reality and substitute my own, even with one eyebrow.
"Career ending terrible terrible jokes" would be the subtitle of my memoir "Joseph and his time on Hollywood"
Man I wonder what if Jamie was amused at Adam finding himself unable to talk during that one story meeting that they tried to film hahahaha.
On another note I really appreciate Adam's candor - in every vid but in regards to the story meeting in particular. It's refreshing to see a famous person not try to paint themselves to be an angelic perfect speaking wonder but rather a real person. Sounds silly but I appreciate the honesty.
I wonder how long it took to "leave the area better" when they blew up the cement truck
One of the best if not THE best episode ever.
Adam:"I hope kids watch what I do so I don't curse"
Me, who has been raised by mythbusters throughout my conscious years of life
Loved this show and the entire team! Sooo much fun to watch. Miss it.
