    Anyone else really think Jess should have been credited as a host/'main cast' member? I know she doesn't have the 'role' of a host contractually or in terms of speaking to camera, but she's directly involved a lot in this season especially. It really feels like she's often on the level of the "B-team" in terms of helping, and those guys are all credited

    • @maxxus0923
      @maxxus0923 Před 2 měsíci +9

      it had a hangtime thats why the splashdown squashed the bus top, if it simply rolled over, it would last 2 rolls before it crumples, most of the time it would only tumble on its side due to center of gravity. Your buses are designed with safety in mind, not being jetwashed by a turbofan engine

    @drakio404 Před měsícem +7

    sorry to ruin the dolphin story, but one of the real reasons why sharks don't mess with dolphins is: 1 dolphins and sharks' prey are somewhat similar when talking about fish (meaning less food for sharks, more food for dolphins)
    2 dolphins hunt in pods while sharks hunt solo
    3 dolphins can cause REAL damage to sharks if they fight with their noses
    4 Orcas the apex predators of the sea hunt sharks and sometimes only eat the liver of sharks, and dolphins while related they can also hunt sharks but is rare
    5 DOLPHINS HAVE A GREAT PR TEAM, dolphins since they are intelligent they can also do some really messed up things, believe me, dolphins are jerks and Hollywood makes them look like nice angels

      I think that the Whites are not scared of dolphins or people. I think that a defensive dolphin increases the likely energy output in eating the sailor, plus clothed humans in life jackets are not natural prey. The shark judges the situation to be too costly in energy and does some simple math before deciding to find more optimal hunting/feeding conditions.

      @@ryanbuckley3314 I think there's definitely an element of "too much effort" in it, but I wouldn't discount the possibility even great whites simply aren't willing to risk a fight with dolphins. since dolphins hunt in pods, if a shark sees one, there's likely to be more, and dolphins absolutely can do real damage to sharks. dolphins are not pushovers, they are top predators in their own right.

    What a waste of a beautiful car. Could’ve just made a body of the impala on another car like the scale test.

    49:34 - Imagine the number of failures with Kim Jong Un's exploading and out of control rockets and missiles; maybe one day the gyros and guidance computers will fail and crash right back into him: that will be an extra big inferno if you know what I mean with all that extra energy inside his body xD

    Funny, it looks like the shark was first checking, if the seal was a baby dolphin. Nope, a seal! Yep, breakfast! Nope, it was toasted far too long. What a Myth Bummer!

    So I'm not done with the video/ episode. However, at about 3/4, way through, I come to the conclusion that sharks don't mess with dolphins or anything near then bc of how fearlessness dolphins are. From my understanding, sharks are so used to everything running away from in fear that when something or someone stands their ground, it puts a sense of fear(I feel like "fear" the right word to use but all I can think of) I could be totally wrong but I myself find that that it makes sense that you should be afraid of something that isn't a afraid of you

    I get really sad seeing Jessie and the rocket car. She didn’t need to die :(

      That was Scottie working on the rocket car. Jessie wasn't brought on for another 2-3 seasons.
      The last part is true, though.

    Why does this sound like it's been recorded through a long cardboard tube?
