So what is the difference on a Premium membership and Channel membership, why would I want to purchase another one? Also the premium have been a bit of let down this year with almost no content.
you all probably dont give a shit but does someone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost my login password. I would love any tips you can give me.
When I learned of Grant's passing, it was a gut punch. Even as just a devoted Myth- busters fan, it was: "No, not Grant! He's too alive to be gone." I too, could feel Adam's flinch. It's comforting to know the persona we saw on the show was truly Grant. Thanks so much for sharing this anecdote, Adam.
Yes, "visceral" is the word. Someone I never met personally, that I knew so little about. And still, when I learned of his passing had a very real tightening of the chest. Some people are just that special. They leave their mark not only in our fleeting bit of history, but also in our hearts.
My heart broke when I heard he died. Grant, Tory, Kari, Jamie and Adam were a huge part of my childhood, so to see one of them go, and go so early... It was the first celebrity death that I really felt something.
@@ryanespinoza7297 I heard about that just recently, actually. I went to go watch an old episode from around that time and saw people commenting about it. That was really rough, as well.
I didn't know him outside of shows he was in such as Myth busters, the Netflix series he was in, and Star Trek continues fan series on youtube. If any of you are trekkies might want to check it out as he did a really great Sulu, I think he was one of the best sulus ever. He alone would have made the kelvin timeline trek worth watching.
@@DrMonty-ng5fo Also, even before they joined Mythbusters, various members of the crew had kind of been colleagues--Grant went up against Adam and Jamie on BattleBots a few times, for example.
@@dannijo1772 There's a picture I love in a behind the scenes Star Wars artbook I read as I kid that I can't remember the name of, that shows Adam and Tory together working on the Jedi Temple, and it's always stuck with me to see two of my heroes working on a thing I love from a film I have great nostalgic memories of. I believe the same book had a picture of Grant and Tory tweaking something on Artoo.
@@Oddman1980 Better yet, invest in some insulation and sound proofing. When you work/live in a place where everybody can hear everybody elses conversations it's a pretty miserable experience for all involved.
Hearing that grant died made half our service department stop for a minute. Hearing that it wasn't an army of robots that killed him.... truly surprised us. He was a genius and is missed.
"I love thinking about that guy. I miss him." I felt that in my soul. That's exactly how I feel when I think about my best friend, who passed over ten years ago. I'll always be sad that he's gone, but remembering him and all the good times we had together is always a pleasure. May Grant's memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved him.
Thanks for that Grant Imahara story, I know the way I feel when I hear his name isn't... what you feel, when you remember your friend. But I miss him, and thank you for reminiscing with such joy.
3:00 If it's not answered later in the Q&A... it's Boiled Linseed Oil that generates heat as it dries and will spontaneously combust if the rags are put in a confined space (like a trashcan).
all linseed oil, I'm an oil painter and We were taught that our oily rag needed to be disposed of in a special fireproof container made for oil rags or in a jar submerged in water. Not that I worry about that because my paint rags are never saturated with paint and I tend to let them dry flat so I can reuse them during my next painting session.
RIP Jessi Combs and Grant Imahara. I remember watching Jessi on extreme 4x4 . Fastest woman on 4 wheels. I'll never forget growing up and watching them during my highschool years.
"I miss him" I do, too. And in the Battlebots universe, and everywhere else. Rest in Peace, Mr. Imahara. You were a brilliant light, and gone far too soon.
I know I only knew Grant by the Mythbusters, but growing up as a kid the show, and Grant the electrical engineer, meant a huge deal to me as I was also aspiring to be one. I was rewatching old mythbusters when the news broke that Grant sadly passed away, and this is the first thing I have been able to watch since that has mentioned him in any way. The impact of Grant and all the MB team will be lasting for decades to come.
I sometimes find it hard to think about people who have passed and I intentionally avoid the subject of people who have passed in the lives of others. But Adam very strongly reminds me of the idea that you don't die until people stop saying your name and telling your stories. I don't know if I'll ever change but I do know that I'd like to take part in keeping good people alive.
The way Adam takes a drink, looks off to the side in a way all of us who have lost someone special viscerally understand, and then collects himself to tell a story about a dear friend. It’s beautiful…
I honestly cried when I heard the news. I think he's the first celebrity I heard about where it was a shock and made me emotional when it happened. I'm happy there's good stories out there about him.
Mythbusters suddenly popped into my head and within moments I was crying like a baby about Grant, he left a huge impression on me in my formative years I just can't believe he's gone
I used to see Grant on Mythbusters and always think that he was a true genius, be a kid on those days and watch on tv people so talented was really inspirational.
As both a consummate creator and ingenuous person, Grant represented the understated very best of what humanity is capable of and his absence is an indescribable loss and I can't imagine how his family and close friends must feel about his passing.
The Rally in DC was so fun! I remember when you and Jamie tried to have us all jump at the same time to see if we could be measured on the Richter scale. We didn't, as I recall, but it was still fun to participate in. What a cool event.
The question about projects that made your neighbors hate you... I am reminded right away of the Mythbusters episode where you guys were putting ball bearings in the dryer to try to tenderize steaks. 🤣
All of these are good examples, but the steak tenderizing episode was worst in my mind cuz they let the dryer run all night. The other episodes at least happened during business hours 😅
Aside from you being my favorite mythbuster because your personality matched my own, I loved your goofiness, Grant was always a close second as I always had a fascination for robotics. I will never forget the impact Mythbusters had on my life, and for that I say thank you, and Rest in Peace Grant, you absolute madlad. Edit: I was almost bawling my eyes out as I wrote this.
With the utmost respect to the friends, family, and loved ones of both Jessi and Grant, I think given the circumstances of the death of both, Grant's was a bit more tragic. With Jessi, even it sounds pithy or like a platitude, she at least went doing what she loved, and that hopefully brought some, no matter how small, amount of comfort to those she left behind. With Grant, it's such a random, unpredictable, largely unavoidable event that there's little you can even say about it. There's no lesson to be learned from his passing, if that makes any sense.
I have been sampling the artists that Adam spit out at around the 2 minute mark and I’m loving it. It makes me want an Adam Savage makers play list. Please do an Adam Savage Makers play list. PLEASE!
Adam you inspire me. Not just to think critically and be a good scientist, but also to stay humble and kind. The way you speak about other people reminds me that its not just what we do that matters, but also who we befriend whilst we get there.
It's sad that my favorite show of all time, Mythbusters, had two of its stars die. I didn't know him personally like you did, Adam, but when Grant Imahara passed away it was sad. A great man, a maker, and a great thinker .... he's gone. No one can ever replace him.
The Oil and the towel is Linseed oil and a cotton towel. I know it as "Masurian Towel", a way to start a delayed fire. You drench a cotton towel in a 50/50 mix of Linseed and turpentine, roll it up tightly and leave it to harden/dry out. It will oxidize itself to a temperature above 55°C, which is the flaming point of the oil mix, thus ignighting itself. Definitely never do this to anyone anywhere!
You guys got me into science. Grant turned me into a geek in the best kind of way. I just got my dream job at a lab in an Ivy League college. They’re really happy to have me and I have a lot if opportunity to move up. I say this because I barely graduated high school and never went to college. I’m able to do this job because i learning about science from people like you and grant. You guys are so important
As important as everyone was to the show, it’s just so clear to me that when Grant joined MB his talent and personality helped the show find it’s rhythm and episodes got really good for next several years
The Mythbusters were such a great collection of characters. The programme was a big part of most of our lives and I personally miss it greatly. Grant was such a tragic loss.
The streaming service I have shows Grant, Jessi, and Tory as the still for season six. Grant and Jessi look so relaxed and confident and happy in their work and the sun.
Thank you for sharing a fun Grant story. I think we will all miss him he brought such joy into the lives of so many people. I actually went and started rewatching all of Mythbusters recently and you can tell he must have been an absolute joy to work with. Thanks again for sharing another fun moment from him!!
I clicked on this video to leave a massage for myself, because I don’t feel I’ll be able to watch this video without tearing up, or just flat out ugly crying yet. At some point, some time from now, this will pop up in my suggested video, as it has for 3 months now, and I will try and brave it. But it is not that day today.
Can totally see Grant doing the scuba diving Jamie and I cant stop laughing! Thank you for not being afraid to share about him and letting us see people feeling grief, I feel this is just hidden topic in the world!
the more "ask"s i binge, the more i realize how full of love you always speak about people. everyone is on your eye level. you admire and appreciate everyone and it seems to me like completely natural unscripted love of yours towards people. i so much enjoy how you think and speak about people.
Its amazingly heart warming while overwhelmingly heart breaking hearing you talk about grant. I like many others grew up with you guys in our lives. He will always be missed and thank you for sharing. I know its not easy.
I always thought he would have been a ton of fun to work with. He could make friggin anything work, and had a kinda wholesome but maniacal thing going on that was just so entertaining
2:55 Any drying oil, such as linseed oil, perhaps also tung oil can make rags spontaniously combust. Though other light oils are also a risk. They may not do it spontaniously, but they need only a very little push to start burning.
My dad sold Adam a painting done by his father, Whitney Savage, awhile back: someone's "Ghost" if I remember correctly. Adam, perhaps you've already done this, but It would be really cool to reflect on your dad's work!
Listening to songs all repeat for hours at end while hyperfocusing on a task all day and al night long? One of the most distinct adhd things, you’re an inspiration!
I had a Japanese teacher who claimed they were Grant’s adoptive sister or something. They only told the story once and I never did a follow up. If it’s true I hope she is okay rn.
May we all be so lucky, when we pass, to have someone remember such a wonderful quality about us and re-tell it with such... glee. That others understand a part of who we were.
I miss Grant so much I wish I could turn back time to the myth busters days we lost a great human being the day he beamed up! May your journey be as good as the memories you have left this world you are greatly missed sir!
I remember an episode of Mythbusters about the 'fastest gun' involving rapid revolver firing. Your team's rig was firing outside to the point that your neighbours came out to vocally complain... The oil is linseed oil on cotten/linen rags... Last thing, it appears you and I share similar music tastes.... keep on playing.... :)
Being a naturally good listener is a rare and beautiful trait. I often catch myself not actually listening but rather thinking about my own next response. Really paying attention to what someone is saying and then taking a bit of time to mull it over before responding is so important.
Haha I was in the crowd at the Royal Albert Hall and remember you walking off and having to come back on stage to do the introductions. You covered it up well! I just assumed it was a mis cue by the production crew. I don’t remember your jokes, but I do remember the crowd thinking.”who is this guy?!?” When you came out into the stage in your first of many cos plays!
Anytime you want to bring in old Mythbuster stories, please feel free. Everyone who follows you is happy to reminisce with you and remember those days where you first came into our homes and we fell in love with the crew. Rest In Peace Grant- you are loved and you are missed.
We all miss him. I know it's weird but I wish we could have seen all that he had left to come! I only have my TV memories. You are blessed with personal memories.
I only ever knew Grant in that weird parasocial way, but I miss him too. I wish I could have met him because he was one of my inspirations for getting into robotics.
I'm in my 20s. My family was entirely obsessed with science. I later went on in life to study and work in politics. But doing everything through experimentation and the scientific method was instilled in me before I ever stepped onto a university campus. Mythbusters and obviously Grant Imahara were a huge part of that process. I distinctly remember in junior high-school they asked "who are your heroes?" And I literally drew pictures of the Mythbusters cast. Today the word hero is a huge word for me and its hard to put anyone in that category. But I'm glad my younger self saw the Myth Busters as heroes. Grant was a hero of comedy and creation and science for me. Still is. And it's devastating to realize that in life, there will come days that you will have to go on even without your heroes.
That blinking fast before because the eyes start burning. Then saying, "I miss him". Oof. I never truly knew Grant, but we shared many of the same passions. I felt like he was a kindred spirit. He touched my life and many others. I miss him too. 🥺
Still so hard to believe that out of the 6 of them, 2 are already gone :( Even Jamie and Adam are way too young to even be close, let alone the build team that’s already lost half its roster
STILL TOO HARD TO SMILE, I KNOW WE SHOULD CELEBRATE HIS AMAZING LIFE, I JUST MISS HIM AND ALL THE AWESOME THINGS HE WAS CAPABLE OF. R.I.P. GRANT YOU'RE TRULY MISSED AND WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
They tested firearms and explosives on a number of occasions, so yeah, the neighbors weren't very happy with them. There was a scene where Tory got yelled at because supposedly no one told the neighbor that they would be testing firearms.
RIP Grant. Hurt so much when he passed, mythbusters was my entire childhood. Reason why I chose to peruse electrical engineering. Thanks grant for the memories
The additional Jamie Mustache movements have me crying over here, lol! I can just imagine Grant doing that. An entire world of nerds miss that amazing fellow.
Thank you for sharing such emotional memories with us. Finding out about Grant's passing was a horrible moment, but it's comforting to know he is remembered so fondly by his friends and coworkers.
Grant is a beloved person that that brought life and laughter to eve try thing he has done and people he’s worked with. You will be missed, but always remembered fondly.
I was there in the crowd at DC for that show. You wouldn’t have known your teleprompter failed, given how great the performance was. Best crowd I’ve ever seen on the Mall.
I recently found this channel. I have been binge-watching for two days. What stands out to me is seeing the passion in Adam's in his eyes. And that statement towards the end that others here have mentioned really tugged at my heart.

Man, when Adam said “I miss him” I felt that viscerally.

Other than kobe and prince yes It was one the few childhood idols that passed recently. I know prince was a few years ago but still.

"Grant *was* hilarious." It never sets in until the past tense comes up.
I agree 100%. It's still jarring and heartbreaking when Adam says, "Grant was..."
Right? I literally had to google to understand why the past tense.... I had no idea :(
The past tense gets me every time too.
Yep...same. The *was* hits you with a couple of secs of delay...
I didn't know him outside of shows he was in such as Myth busters, the Netflix series he was in, and Star Trek continues fan series on youtube.
If any of you are trekkies might want to check it out as he did a really great Sulu, I think he was one of the best sulus ever.
He alone would have made the kelvin timeline trek worth watching.

I actually went and started rewatching all of Mythbusters recently and you can tell he must have been an absolute joy to work with. Thanks again for sharing another fun moment from him!!
RIP, he was one of my inspirations and is a part of why I'm in engineering today. The last line of the video hit pretty hard
I clicked on this video to leave a massage for myself, because I don’t feel I’ll be able to watch this video without tearing up, or just flat out ugly crying yet. At some point, some time from now, this will pop up in my suggested video, as it has for 3 months now, and I will try and brave it. But it is not that day today.
I don't know if you've watched this yet, but I found it cathartic. No pressure, but listening to someone who misses Grant is kinda beautiful.
@@josephfuller272 I haven’t, but I think it’s time. Thank you for your earnest reply, and for the gentle reminder.
We all miss Grant. If there was ever anyone taken too soon, its most absolutely definitely Grant Imahara.
Jessi Combs too.
Can totally see Grant doing the scuba diving Jamie and I cant stop laughing! Thank you for not being afraid to share about him and letting us see people feeling grief, I feel this is just hidden topic in the world!
the more "ask"s i binge, the more i realize how full of love you always speak about people. everyone is on your eye level. you admire and appreciate everyone and it seems to me like completely natural unscripted love of yours towards people. i so much enjoy how you think and speak about people.
Its amazingly heart warming while overwhelmingly heart breaking hearing you talk about grant. I like many others grew up with you guys in our lives. He will always be missed and thank you for sharing. I know its not easy.
I always thought he would have been a ton of fun to work with. He could make friggin anything work, and had a kinda wholesome but maniacal thing going on that was just so entertaining
2:55 Any drying oil, such as linseed oil, perhaps also tung oil can make rags spontaniously combust.
Though other light oils are also a risk. They may not do it spontaniously, but they need only a very little push to start burning.
Loved it when Jamie was in the fire suit, and says I like it in here kinda private!!
I miss him to Adam you will be sorely missed and grieved and loved Grant was always a light to all of us
My dad sold Adam a painting done by his father, Whitney Savage, awhile back: someone's "Ghost" if I remember correctly. Adam, perhaps you've already done this, but It would be really cool to reflect on your dad's work!
I loved that on Craig Ferguson's late night talk show his mechanical sidekick Geoff was created by Grant!
I had to hold my tears by the end... with a smile.
One of my favorites ones was the Tory impression: "I have to weld something" xD
Listening to songs all repeat for hours at end while hyperfocusing on a task all day and al night long? One of the most distinct adhd things, you’re an inspiration!
I had a Japanese teacher who claimed they were Grant’s adoptive sister or something. They only told the story once and I never did a follow up. If it’s true I hope she is okay rn.
May we all be so lucky, when we pass, to have someone remember such a wonderful quality about us and re-tell it with such... glee. That others understand a part of who we were.
"You're just gonna reply to him? Like he's a person?"
xD
I miss Grant so much I wish I could turn back time to the myth busters days we lost a great human being the day he beamed up! May your journey be as good as the memories you have left this world you are greatly missed sir!
Thanks for the smile about Grant, makes me laugh thinking about him doing the scuba
Grant Imahara is sorely missed. Gone way too soon. Not even 50 years old. Absolutely terrible and incredibly tragic. RIP Grant
I remember an episode of Mythbusters about the 'fastest gun' involving rapid revolver firing. Your team's rig was firing outside to the point that your neighbours came out to vocally complain...
The oil is linseed oil on cotten/linen rags...
Last thing, it appears you and I share similar music tastes.... keep on playing.... :)
Being a naturally good listener is a rare and beautiful trait. I often catch myself not actually listening but rather thinking about my own next response. Really paying attention to what someone is saying and then taking a bit of time to mull it over before responding is so important.
Haha I was in the crowd at the Royal Albert Hall and remember you walking off and having to come back on stage to do the introductions. You covered it up well! I just assumed it was a mis cue by the production crew.
I don’t remember your jokes, but I do remember the crowd thinking.”who is this guy?!?” When you came out into the stage in your first of many cos plays!
Anytime you want to bring in old Mythbuster stories, please feel free. Everyone who follows you is happy to reminisce with you and remember those days where you first came into our homes and we fell in love with the crew.
Rest In Peace Grant- you are loved and you are missed.
"i miss him"
we all do buddy, we all do.
We all miss him. I know it's weird but I wish we could have seen all that he had left to come! I only have my TV memories. You are blessed with personal memories.
I only ever knew Grant in that weird parasocial way, but I miss him too. I wish I could have met him because he was one of my inspirations for getting into robotics.
I'm in my 20s. My family was entirely obsessed with science. I later went on in life to study and work in politics. But doing everything through experimentation and the scientific method was instilled in me before I ever stepped onto a university campus. Mythbusters and obviously Grant Imahara were a huge part of that process. I distinctly remember in junior high-school they asked "who are your heroes?" And I literally drew pictures of the Mythbusters cast. Today the word hero is a huge word for me and its hard to put anyone in that category. But I'm glad my younger self saw the Myth Busters as heroes. Grant was a hero of comedy and creation and science for me. Still is. And it's devastating to realize that in life, there will come days that you will have to go on even without your heroes.
I never would've thought that Grant came up with the finger mustache.
Idk if that's you in your avatar but I just wanna say your really pretty
@@shaneclyde8694 Simp
@@HOTD108_ were dating so who's the simp now loser
That blinking fast before because the eyes start burning. Then saying, "I miss him". Oof.
I never truly knew Grant, but we shared many of the same passions. I felt like he was a kindred spirit. He touched my life and many others. I miss him too. 🥺
Still so hard to believe that out of the 6 of them, 2 are already gone :( Even Jamie and Adam are way too young to even be close, let alone the build team that’s already lost half its roster
STILL TOO HARD TO SMILE, I KNOW WE SHOULD CELEBRATE HIS AMAZING LIFE, I JUST MISS HIM AND ALL THE AWESOME THINGS HE WAS CAPABLE OF. R.I.P. GRANT YOU'RE TRULY MISSED AND WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
For the first question, the episode of Mythbusters that had the dead pigs in the car had to disturb the neighbors.
They tested firearms and explosives on a number of occasions, so yeah, the neighbors weren't very happy with them. There was a scene where Tory got yelled at because supposedly no one told the neighbor that they would be testing firearms.
RIP Grant. Hurt so much when he passed, mythbusters was my entire childhood. Reason why I chose to peruse electrical engineering. Thanks grant for the memories
The additional Jamie Mustache movements have me crying over here, lol! I can just imagine Grant doing that. An entire world of nerds miss that amazing fellow.
Thank you for sharing such emotional memories with us. Finding out about Grant's passing was a horrible moment, but it's comforting to know he is remembered so fondly by his friends and coworkers.
Boiled linseed oil can self combust which has burned down quite a few workshops and houses over the years.
Grant is a beloved person that that brought life and laughter to eve try thing he has done and people he’s worked with. You will be missed, but always remembered fondly.
Time seams to move by quicker when there are less big events in your life.
I was there in the crowd at DC for that show. You wouldn’t have known your teleprompter failed, given how great the performance was. Best crowd I’ve ever seen on the Mall.
Absolutely pumping out the uploads. Keep it up please mr savage:)
I recently found this channel. I have been binge-watching for two days. What stands out to me is seeing the passion in Adam's in his eyes. And that statement towards the end that others here have mentioned really tugged at my heart.
We love you Adam my kid will definitely be watching every episode of myth busters you guys made my childhood.
Adam Savage is just one of the most loveable guys ever he's so simple happy like
