I must say, Adam is an inspiration of a human being. I haven't had to the pleasure to meet him personally but have watched Mythbusters since I was a child and after coming upon your channel a year and a bit ago he seems like such a pleasant person to be around and with the amount of knowledge that he has it must be fascinating to talk to him. This is not to say that Norm and Will are peasants in comparison but it is obvious that all 3 of them truly have a passion for what they do.
dacasman I was really confused when I started hearing that story. Am I watching an episode Ive seen before? and nope Adam is just telling it for the third time lol. I wonder how many times he has told in irl
No one stops an enthusiastic conversation dead in its tracks quite like Will. A: "I was being heckled by my childhood heroes, it was awesome!" W: "Okay......."
Jesus, it can't be that hard to check these podcasts before they are uploaded, I know it's not a huge deal, but you are meant to be somewhat professional Tested
On the note of Adam signing autographs, at SDCC 2014, my friend and I meandered over to the signing lines to get a friend of his an autograph from the Night Vale guys. We passed by Adam and Jamie who are at the very top of my heroes list. There were less than 10 people left in line so I figured the line had been cut off. On the off-chance, I asked the volunteers managing the line "So, I assume the line is closed" and got the absolutely unexpected response, "You two are the last ones." I got giddy beyond belief. When I got up to the table, face to face with two of the people that shaped my teenage inquisitive mind, I froze. I seized. The only words I could muster, "You have got to be kidding me" and suddenly I realized, my hand extended, hovering in air, recently shaken by Adam, I hadn't yet addressed Jamie. I shook myself back to this world and shook his hand. Almost walked away without getting a picture. Sadly, I wasn't allowed to get the only thing I had on me that I, myself, had made(a Monobox speaker) signed. Being 23-24, you'd think I'd hold better composure, but honestly, meeting your heroes is always surreal. Holy long comment.
Still haven't received a Tested Premium notice about the toolbox posters and can't find anything about them on the site/forums. The suspense is killing me!
Man, I haven't heard Chautauqua since I was a kid (and I'm almost 50) and my grandfather was telling me about them and minstrel shows when he was introducing an LP of a complete minstrel show to me. Talk about nostalgia. Very cool.
I had the same juggling book. I got it in fourth grade and never made it past two balls. I can still do that but never revisited the book to learn three. Maybe I will now. It's only been 25 years.
I personally don't know the relationship between Norm and Will but there is just somethings you don't say even if it is in confidential but definitely you have to take consideration on a public platform like TH-cam with 50+ thousand people watching. Feel sorry for you Norm.
A little story....I drove to maker faire with my assistant on wednesday dropped off robots, continued on in my car with tiny robot sculpture, dropped that off at e.g. then drove back to oakland, the following day I drove three loads to maker faire then drove to e.g. stayed the night at the Monterrey Marriott did my presentation (talked about my robots), stayed for the rest of Fridays presentations and the night at the hotel then hauled ass back up the pch to do Saturday and Sundays maker faire. Adam I a very bummed I missed you and Jaimie, I crashed out on friday night exhausted very sad to missed Saturdays presentations. woot. there ya go.
Stop teasing us and show the ZF-1 ffs ! I have been waiting for nearly 1 year to see that icon, I know it will be awesome but please please please show it soon !
Heya I am a huge fan of Adam and the guys but as a Dutchman can I please correct Adam's pronounciation of Strandbeest? He pronounces strand correctly but beest is pronounced baste as in baste a turkey. Sorry to be "that" guy but I felt it needed saying. Thank you for the many hours of fabulous geekdom!
That drinking game would be DANGEROUS! Lol To make it up to him, (and to justify future actions) you should change the name of this podcast to "Norm Interupted".
Am I loosing my mind? Is this the third time Adam has brought up the "you are 10 year old you's hero."? I am so confused, am I imagining things? Is Adam going senile? Has anyone else noticed this?
I know maybe this is the wrong video to post it on but what's happening with the content? There's been so few tech stuff lately, modelling, coffee, replicas, even cooking? I'm a relatively new follower but I thought this channel was mostly about tech? Also you can stop showing us 1 part of something we'll never watch, supposing that watching people building replicas will ever be entertaining.. Maybe this is what Tested is, and I know you can't make everyone happy, anyway, I'll just wait for tech related videos and ignore the others.
***** That's it. There are always slow times throughout the year, and the late spring/early summer is always one of them. We've always used this time to explore new stuff and other topics we're interested in.
Theodore Bagwell Remember just because you feel a certain way doesn't mean everyone feels the same. I could watch them build replicas all day and still hunger for more...
It is not a racially insensitive comment, its a girlfriend getting in the middle of the group dynamic joke. Christ people we gotta stop being so touchy and for the love of God stop with the wheres racism/waldo game.

Adam has told that story about being the hero of his ten-year-old self at least three times on recent podcasts. It's becoming a feature.
Props for how Norm dealt with that comment.
Adam has told that bedside table story 3 times now xD
But each time he pretends that it happens for the first time with that new gun that he's just made
dacasman I was really confused when I started hearing that story. Am I watching an episode Ive seen before? and nope Adam is just telling it for the third time lol. I wonder how many times he has told in irl
dacasman Haha I think the age changed from 8 to 10 years old, maybe his wife says it every week but slightly varied
dacasman Once you hit 50 your brain turns to mush!
I'm sure he has said it more then that but i love hearing it every time. lol
No one stops an enthusiastic conversation dead in its tracks quite like Will.
A: "I was being heckled by my childhood heroes, it was awesome!"
W: "Okay......."
It took me 30 seconds to get over the 'our little Yoko' comment. Norm did not look impressed.
The Bright Pixel he looked like he would kill will
Thaddeus Howe He often has that look lol
The Bright Pixel Can someone explain who is Yoko and why it was an inappropriate comment
Lol am I that old?
Bevin Holder yes
I fucking love Will and his inappropriate jokes
The first minute is blank!
That first minute.
Martin Ganev I've been doing this for 20 YEARS NORM (c) Will Smith 2015
Martin Ganev reminds me of those intermission days.

"Hey Norm, Hey Will" the plugs make me laugh everytime
Great as always. Also I really enjoy sound quality and yours rhetoric. I think that it make my English better.
Now that you said that every single person wearing a Storm Trooper costume at MakreFaire is going to get stopped repeatedly with the question "Adam?"
Still haven't received a Tested Premium notice about the toolbox posters and can't find anything about them on the site/forums. The suspense is killing me!

this is the best way to start a day
The videos are automatically uploaded, it's 4am in SF, not surprised nobody noticed the blank space...
I like Norm's facial expressions in reaction to the stupid shit that is said...
I think it should be everyones life goal to become their ten year old self's hero.
I had the same juggling book. I got it in fourth grade and never made it past two balls. I can still do that but never revisited the book to learn three. Maybe I will now. It's only been 25 years.
so 1 minute of blank screen at the start? nice work.
permeus2nd its either fixed now, or it was on your side.
yep its fixed now, it went right into their intro.
The 'its a doozy' guy is also in Spaceballs.
Samael The Destroyer And Thelma and Louise
Samael The Destroyer where? i know that movie better then i care to admit...
Every video i watch with will, I lose a little more respect for him.
Ez Pez i do that with norm
I wondered if the poster of the toolboxes are for sale? Already being a member, I wasn't able to find it on the website.
0.0 do you remember coming out of the black void to a ad. I do, I wear this ebony ribbon to remember.
Yes, come to NY makerfaire! I'll be there.
Will the arcade cabinet ever be finished?
Will still untitled ever get a title? At this point I feel like it's a staple of the channel.
hahaha norm's "wow"...
My favorite "battling robot" movie is still Robot Jox from 1989 with Gary Graham, great cult classic!!!
0:57 - You're welcome.
I personally don't know the relationship between Norm and Will but there is just somethings you don't say even if it is in confidential but definitely you have to take consideration on a public platform like TH-cam with 50+ thousand people watching. Feel sorry for you Norm.
Was the color shifting between white and yellow for anyone else?
11:45 Fly safe? Sounds like Scott Manley :D
A little story....I drove to maker faire with my assistant on wednesday dropped off robots, continued on in my car with tiny robot sculpture, dropped that off at e.g. then drove back to oakland, the following day I drove three loads to maker faire then drove to e.g. stayed the night at the Monterrey Marriott did my presentation (talked about my robots), stayed for the rest of Fridays presentations and the night at the hotel then hauled ass back up the pch to do Saturday and Sundays maker faire. Adam I a very bummed I missed you and Jaimie, I crashed out on friday night exhausted very sad to missed Saturdays presentations. woot. there ya go.
No way! I learned how to juggle with 'Juggling for the Complete Klutz' too!
You know you can skip the first minute, right ?
Stop teasing us and show the ZF-1 ffs !
I have been waiting for nearly 1 year to see that icon, I know it will be awesome but please please please show it soon !
whats the fire sword!
The Tobolowsky Files podcast over at slasfilm is great!
Heya I am a huge fan of Adam and the guys but as a Dutchman can I please correct Adam's pronounciation of Strandbeest? He pronounces strand correctly but beest is pronounced baste as in baste a turkey. Sorry to be "that" guy but I felt it needed saying. Thank you for the many hours of fabulous geekdom!
Will has brought much shame and embarrassment to our shared name. If Norm ever quits tested I'm jumping ship with him.
In the future you should lower Norm's mic so we can see his face.
That drinking game would be DANGEROUS! Lol
To make it up to him, (and to justify future actions) you should change the name of this podcast to "Norm Interupted".
sound is way off,
Has anyone found norms website?
Stephen Tobolowsky is in the new Comedy Central show "Big Time in Hollywood, FL"
Featuring charming comedic blood and gore.
I thing the beside table story changes a little. Wasn't the age 8 and now it's 10?
Make Adam do that juggling act for Tested :)
Shots fired!!!
Come on Chautauqua next year!
Adam shooting in the Bahamas, sounds shark week related maybe.
"That knife game" is called mumblety-peg (there's a dozen variants of the spelling). It's a name that sticks with you.
Norms face at the Yoko comment lol
Will gonna get f**ked up !
Am I loosing my mind? Is this the third time Adam has brought up the "you are 10 year old you's hero."? I am so confused, am I imagining things? Is Adam going senile? Has anyone else noticed this?
I must not have paid enough attention. When's the "Yoko" comment?
Ground hog day, the actors characters name was "Needle Nose Ned" not needle hose ned. Just saying.
Actual start at 1:40
Norm, that microphone is blocking your beautiful face!
Norm, you want to find it ? Try the internet time machine
I know maybe this is the wrong video to post it on but what's happening with the content? There's been so few tech stuff lately, modelling, coffee, replicas, even cooking?

Matthew Cotton I think I made it clear enough that it was just my opinion.
Your all a bit in the dark, could do with some more lights, otherwise enjoyed it

Spooky
NOT FIRST
