      David Caruso's First Movie is Rambo:First Blood(1982) which was released as simply First Blood until it was release on VHS by which time the Sequel had been green lit.
      Jade was in 1995 during hyatis from NYPD Blue shooting schedule and he returned for season three.
      He quietly retired from acting early in 2017 and has not done anything in film, TV or entertainment as an actor.
      Though he has two secessful production companies, an art studio and is Co owner of a secessful restaurant.

    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.

      someone will get this like an inside joke and find it amusing. I went to the same San Francisco hippie school as one of his kids. The building used to be a mortuary. The art room was where they did the autopsies and it still has the original sinks. There were lots of ghost stories and urban legend mythology when I was there including a poltergeist named "Otis" or "Otz" who haunts the elevator and traps kids who ride it without permission. that was a good one because the elevator often got stuck between floors. I wonder if the current students still have those urban legends.

      The show was massive in my personal life, and there was, and never will be, anything like it again. The unique chemistry and personalities behind it, the HONESTY and character that Adam and Jamie had going into it, it was just too important. It will never be replicated.
      I've seen the newer, more recent attempts to do the same thing, and the newer guys just don't have that spark at all. You could tell with Adam and Jamie that they were really invested in the concepts and ideas. They were genuine scientists in their approach. In contrast, you can tell when someone is phoning it in. I think it is an age/experience thing. Even though I wouldn't call either of them "Old" when the show started, I think they were old enough/mature enough, experienced enough and held the right mindset and natural inclination toward the scientific, that when given these challenges, they were genuinely excited to figure them out and it really, really showed.
      The newer guys were even younger, had no real chemistry, and didn't seem an eighth as passionate.
      Adam/Jamie Mythbusters was truly lightning in a bottle.

      That's because the rest of us see their public persona, at distance and occasionally. Their wives and children see them every day, no makeup, no wardrobe, and unscripted. It tends to quickly erode the awe with which the rest of us regard that person and emphasize their underlying normalcy.
      A similar phenomenon exists in corporations and, especially, the uniformed services. One tends to regard high-ranking individuals with an awe that often gets in the way of clear thought. The advice of "Remember, he puts his pants on every morning, just like the rest of us." (or less printable versions) is very common - and good - advice when meeting a chairman, Chief, or general.

      It helps that Adam is an engineer first, so apart from being kind of eccentric and high-energy he seems like he would be just a normal dad. Some people, when they get famous, that fame gets to their head and they get drunk on being the center of attention, but I really don't think Adam is that guy. I think he's just a dude who has a lot of big toys to play with and he likes sharing the fun with others, and that's a great father figure for kids to have, especially boys.

Turns out the workers who were staying in the room had just dropped their boots on the floor and the happened to land just right to look like a body lying on the floor.
      But, in fairness, it is a hotel and we have had people pass away while staying before so her alarm wasn't completely unjustified.

    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.

      That's so interesting! My problem with social anxiety is that for me, I can speak to people perfectly fine and perfectly clear. I'm a great conversationalist, and I'm quick and witty and I always know what to say. Like a social beast. But I'm anxious because I literally do not want to be social lol. I hate talking to people, I hate having to open my mouth and form words and communicate. I hate talking so much. Knowing I have to talk to people constantly in order to keep friends is so anxiety inducing. It's why I talk to nobody during the summer 😂 It's like "finally, my break is here!" and I don't talk to a soul for months, but they get the drill by now.
      Point is, I love how different social anxiety is for everybody. We all feel anxious sometimes when we speak around other people, but HOW we feel anxious is so different. Isn't that fascinating? I am so glad it got easier for you to handle, it can be really hard to work through that type of anxiety. Just know that strangers who didn't like you aren't gonna be thinking about you, and the people who like your company will think of you fondly. You really do get used to dealing with people!

    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." :)

Saw you once with the wife and kids at the Container Store, but kept my distance because everybody deserves their own space. My sense of life and humor is just about halfway between yours and Jaimie's, so the show almost always worked for me. The body cracked me up.

    I didn't realize how much that creepy guy had stuck in my child brain till this video popped up in my feed. But _yeah_ , incredibly memorable visual for a science loving 7yo. I don't think i was particularly scared of it, but it was certainly fascinating, and looking back i definitely was unconsciously looking for him in the background going forward. I believe he's made more cameos than just season 2?

    @tested Adam, I love the stories you tell about Jamie in part because they're good... but also in part because of the joy you display when telling them.
    As someone who's got "no skin in the game", as nothing but a long time viewer, it honestly bothers me when people say/claim that you two didn't like each other. To me even from the days watching Mythbusters the fact that you two could argue as much as you did, neither wanting to give ground on what you thought was right, but seemingly acknowledged the others process as valid (even if you still disagreed which was BEST, and both wanted to PROVE it to the other) made it extremely clear to me that the mutual respect in your working relationship more than made up for any lack of buddy-buddy friendship.

    I couldn't agree more about hearing your own voice, as someone who did all the audio editing for a podcast some friends and I were doing just for fun, it really is funny how you can separate your own (heard by yourself) voice from the voice you hear in your head as basically a different person. Hearing my own voice on any kind of recording just doesn't bother, after many hours of editing. It's just another audio file.

    Jade, along with Kiss of Death, was David Caruso's first post-NYPD Blue film (he was actually nominated for Razzies for both movies in 1995)...but he'd previously appeared in a number of films, including An Officer and a Gentleman, First Blood, Twins, and King of New York.

    Adam! idea for tested: have people submit makers from websites or youtube that make things themselves that are unique, beautiful or complex or very cheap but interesting, from all age groups and then showcase them and how they made it. the goal would be to showcase makers that START and don't let themselves be intimidated "because it's expensive to make". there are people that make their own tools (ex microscopes) or objects from movies they like or simply D&D sets, etc. that would be great to have, like 10 or so people?

    Oh yea, I always wondered about that guy too! It seemed so bizarrely out of place for the tone of Mythbusters and there was never an explanation - initially I assumed it was a "trophy" from a previous myth that either I missed on TV or was never aired (as most of the things in that room were) but the true origin is so much better!
    I do feel bad for the kids that were scared of him, though... If I'd seen that when I was a kid it would have scared the crap out of me too.

    The old studio is getting cleared out and all the left over props are in the garbage, there's a huge storm. Buster gets struck by lightning and comes to life and seeks revenge on the Mythbusters for all the tests they did on him. He starts killing off the cast and crew with traps made by using famous memorable rigs from the show (sword rig, chicken canon, rocket car etc) until Jamie and Adam have a final showdown in the old studio

      I'm pretty that there's some kind of bad AI audio enhancement going on.

      Same as AI tools for photos sometimes making nightmare fuel, because it thinks an object is a face.

  • @ArsenicDrone

    I don't think I like the audio processing being applied to these videos. It creates weird artifacts like 2:48 3:27 4:56 6:18, and really the vocal sound is not that great. It might sound a bit richer and cleaner than the raw audio, but it also sounds wrong for the space in which Adam's sitting, and it also somehow makes the high end sound sort of tinny in a way.

    I wanted to do prosthetic makeup effects, and I learned real quick, your sense of humor changes. Things that other people think are horrific become entirely too amusing... partially because you made it. You use a dismembered head as a paperweight. You toss a fake eye into the air repeatedly as you think. Then someone walks in and sees these things and screams. At first you're apologetic, but later you laugh over it. When I saw the show, I knew these guys were special effects artists. Anything weird in the background just became part of their workshop, either something left over or something they purposefully held onto because they found it amusing.
