"I finally found a separation between that character and me, and there is very little separation..." - it's that kind of honesty that draws the audience into Mythbusters, and to Tested!

I know Jamie and Adam do not consider each other friends, but they always talk about each other with a huge amount of respect and clearly knew each other pretty well. I always love that.

That thing reminded me of when the fire alarm rang in the middle of the night at Effets Spéciaux Twins F X (they were in the neighboring city). It was a false alarm but when the firemen broke-in, they immediately called the police to investigate the gruesome scene they had discovered... the guys specialized in horror movie props. Lets just say it scared the s*** out of some people and the local paper had a blast with this. 😂

I really love how Adam continues to respect his kids’ privacy by referring to them as “Thing 1 & Thing 2.” I’m sure if they wanted publicity, they would seek it out. I know nothing more about them than that they exist and there are at least 2 of them. Protecting the privacy of others is an act of love.

Watching yourself on camera sounds like working retail cash as someone who has social anxiety growing up. When I first started as a cashier I couldn't look at people, I mumbled a lot. After 3 months I could talk to people, after another 3 I could look them in the eye. After a couple years most of my anxiety disappeared. You just get used to it. It doesn't go away, but it becomes a lot more bearable.

Maybe we recover from our parents, but in a lot of ways we also discover (often to our dismay) that we have become them. I realized I had become my father a few years ago, when I saw a print ad for one of those outdoor hot tubs. In the ad, it's set up on the deck behind a house on a snowy winter night, and a couple are enjoying some champagne surrounded by steam and soft lighting. Younger me would have seen that as intensely aspirational, but middle-aged me who has become his father instantly thought, "Oh God, their electric bill." :)

Jamie did the prop work for Arachnophobia? Confirmed....he is an evil genius. I still get spooked by that movie!

What was it that determined whether You and Jamie tackled a myth, or Kari, Grant, and Tori?

It is in the nature of kids of famous parents to not be particularly impressed by them as far as I can tell, but Adam also just seems like a good and present dad.

It makes me kinda sad to know that Adam's kids didn't watch Mythbusters but at the same time it makes a lot of sense.

Title question is at 4:43

The 'scary man's trip is similar to a flight to Canada I experienced. I was going on a backpack/climbing trip. I packed my helmet at one end of a haul sack, then backpack,then boots at the other end. Along side the pack a pair of trekking poles. It was stopped at the X-ray check because it looked, on X-ray, like a body.

The show deserved its growing popularity over time. Probably the best show ever to communicate science and make it fun.

"I'm just another dad" literally just like Rick Moranis. Just another dad, doing dad things in between being cool.

I'm suddenly terrified of seemingly sweet Heinemann

I would like to know how you guys got onto CSI. When I saw the show it made me smile.

Good questions and great answers in the first half. If there is any famous person I'd love to sit down with and talk to for a while, it's Adam.

I remember Caruso on NYPD Blue because I rewatched it last year. I thought his character was only OK+ there, because he always had this smug know-it-all demure, with that Caruso-patented head-tilt at every suspect interview. But him leaving meant Jimmy Smits got his shot, and he really made that show A+ for me.

I love your content! Thanks for the share! Im getting a tattoo today, super nervous! Thanks for the confidence boost! 🎉🎉😊😊
