True. I mean look at the airplane conveyor belt episode. Busted left right and centre, yet there are *still* comments saying that they didn't do the test right, or their results should be considered invalid. Hell, there are even comments calling Adam & Jamie morons for calling the myth busted. Yet none of these armchair scientists can't get it through their heads that the movement of the ground and the thrust created by the propeller are not connected to each other, thus the conveyor will have *no effect on the plane!* It's insane, but you can't force someone to change their mind
Lol the rat nonchalantly poops as Jamie holds it 4:24. Thanks for the upload, minor audio flaws aside, at least the music isn't weirdly cranked up on this one.

indeed. They could literally test any thing. O wait, they could not. You can find the video where Adam is on stage in front of an audience explaining they were not allowed to touch certain myths.
As a merchadiser for a certain beverage company that uses aluminum cans, I HIGHLY recommend wiping or rinsing the tops of your cans before drinking it Source: I seen some shit 👍
as shown in the show. fecal or any other mater lose their "contaminating properties" at some point.. Shit happens, but it doesn't necessarily kill you :D
@@reinmarandi6174 That's very true. But my point was that you're unaware of the last time a can was "contaminated". I'm not nessecarily talking about death, that's a bit extreme lol. You should still clean them as a precaution.
Never done it, never gotten any illness from a can. I am either only lucky when it comes to not drinking from a poop covered can, or this would be another one of those "theoretical" things that has very little real world impact.
@@Power5 I'd imagine it's pretty low risk, yeah. I'll put it this way though. I'm used to seeing moldy cans, dirty cans, cans with dead bugs on them etc. Some of these cans just get wiped down and put back up on the shelf depending on the store you go to. So you can't blame me for making it a habit to clean the tops and also recommending others to do the same lol Also, I'm sure if you saw me clean off any of the above mentioned things and then offered you that same can, I would think most people would decline because that's gross af😂
@@Gatitasecsiiit may be mid engine but the way the countach is built its heavier in in the rear still yk what i mean? I just feel like they went about that myth wrong
@@Meatball856 43/57 for the fiero 41/59 for the countach Idk I think they did a good job honestly. And they did make it skip in the end, just not like in the movie They're not gonna crash a Countach. As much as it pains me that they ruined two Fieros...
This and Psych were the only shows both my wife and kids would watch with me. My children must have seen 100 episodes of MB growing up. What an incredible way to have exposed their young minds to critical thinking, science, even what healthy work relationships look like.
Actually tried skipping a car when I was younger. Had a friend with me. The water was similar in length of more. I also llearned that 50 mph (was actually going around 60) wasn't quite enough to make it.
25:00 who didn’t know, just saying, kitchen sponge after washing dishes has to be soaked and soaked with washing up liquid again and left. That’s how bacteria will be killed :)
Only the Mythbusters can make something like cataloging look interesting 😂... I learned more on this show than highschool I'm glad they are now on TH-cam
Wait until you see the ladies gaslight Tori into bunny hopping over a red wagon on an old bicycle. Spoiler alert: He fails spectacularly. So many more injuries Tori accumulated… all for science.
The first one looked a little crusty tbh. The second one may not have been a nice later one, but it looked absolutely mint. I guess the show was made when these things were worth absolutely nothing.
In the Petri dish germ segment it was nice to hear them completely describe their chemistry process. I’ve watched too many explosion episodes with all the “Ingredient X” and “Mystery Procedure” 😊
The first episode I’ve watched in years and I hear Jessi “you know me and cars”… damn. She really was “bout that life”, as they say. Much respect for her. Although she didn’t do much for the stereotype of women drivers.
Didn’t give that first fiero a long enough take off ramp. The suspension didn’t have any time to settle so as soon as the front wheels left the ramp the wheels were rebounding downward sending it forward as well the rear suspension doing the same as the weight transfers and pushing it even harder into a front flip. I think with a longer, less steep take off ramp it would be plausible without a submerged platform
Yeah, it's annoying. To make it bearable you can switch to mono sound on your OS. On Windows: click the start button, start typing (search will automatically appear) "turn on mono audio", open the dialogue, and toggle it on On OSX: settings->accessibility->audio toggle "play stereo audio as mono" If you are on any other *nix you probably know how to do it. Don't forget to turn it off once you're finished.
It’s a little bit surreal to be watching them having a great time, knowing she’s not going to see forty and he’s not going to make it to fifty. I guess they packed a lot into the time they had, though, so that’s good.
@@seth1371yeah she passed away trying to beat her previous land speed record from blunt force trauma in a 500mph crash. She still beat her record at the top speed of 522mph and was posthumously awarded the award for the new record.
I think that having a car with a rear engine would have helped skipping since the weight distribution is more toward the back, naturally pitching the car up
43:12 Oooooh, really bad thing to do! If that remote controlled steering happens to move, that right arm is not going to like it! In fact, it could easily break it, depending on the torque of the motor.
They need a lip to pop off of.... just enough to lift the front end just a hair. That would get it out further before coming in contact with the water and keep the nose up
@@krawdaddy33 use the long gradual ramp instead of a short kicker that forced the front up way too much. If it was a long, gradual ramp, the vehicle would eventually level off almost
This show is timeless and always relevant... well, right until "cellphone" and they pull out this ancient thing with actual physical buttons that was certainly modern for the time. Decades, and it still holds up. That's good TV.
That car skip was awesome…still not as awesome as the Cement Mixer Truck Explosion or at the end of the penultimate episode when they strapped Buster to the rocket sled and disintegrated him xD
I know this is way late, but the Countach is mid engine. The first car they used was a front engine. That's why it dipped its nose when going off the ramp. I feel that's quite the oversight. Note: I haven't finished the episode while making this comment.
I'm super glad I've been habitually washing EVERY CAN, including food cans, with soap and very hot water for no less than 30 seconds for the last 20 years. It just always seemed like a good idea and never thought about rat contamination. Also, "we need this little engine to go as fast as we can make it go. So we gave it nitrous." Yup! That will definitely help!
A late uncle of mine worked in a biscuit/cookie factory, he worked nights on maintenance of the factories machinery. He turned me off biscuit/cookie for life after he informed me the factory was plagued by both rats and mice in large numbers. Their droppings of solid waste was just brushed of the biscuit/cookie but he never mentioned their water wate production. Many food factories are plagued by rodents and flies when there's no staff on site and we get to consume these products daily.
MB ramp was about 3 degrees too high that's why the nose of the fiero pointed at a sharper angle than the lambo in the movie. There are tons of videos on how that scene was filmed...
Yeah they totally fucked up that jump, and hearing him talk about the weight of the car and everything was ridiculous lol, like its their fault the car didn't skip yet they give any reason for it not working they can. I've seen side by sides hydroplane all the way across a huge pond/oasis in Glamis dunes, so I know for a fact this is possible!
Actually, the MB ramp was 3.4 degrees too high. Also, the color was wrong. It had to be red (obviously). Like the lambo in the movie. No wonder it didn't work!
Also I'm wondering about airfoil on the fiero, which the lambo SX crew may have also tweaked and optimized for the movie. That would not only weigh down the rear properly but keep it down after launch so it could touch down nicely at the rear. All told, there were many ways they could have better approximated the movie setup. That said, this episode really brought home to me what I never fully appreciated when I saw the originals: the mad skills of the MB team. Jessie's NOx mod was bordering on rocket-science.
It's bad they didn't notice that,in the movie the car goes down a bit before jumping the pond so it means the ramp was kind of inverted sort of. Sort of like downhill with a bump but close to the water,that's why the car lands with the rear wheels on the water and it acts like a flat rock skipped
I contend that the Fiero flipped because the ramp was way too short, kicking the back end up and over. had the ramp been longer, that MIGHT not have happened.
19:50: I think the movie maker added wheight to the back of the car, because it's likly to flip forward if the driver is at the front than at the back,(wich is what insane people do.) and the character probaly knew that, so I think plausible, not busted
As a kid it looked cooled as hell. As an adult now, its painful to see the cars get ruined. Prayers the frame didn't get fucked and they could be rebuilt.
@@Thezaza054 It's a Pontiac Fiero - a first mass produced American mid-engine car. These two in the episode were the facelifted models produced between 1986 to 1988.
They probably cut off the throttle at the first jump of the car.. If they'd watched Colin McRae Rally Lectures, they'd know that to let the car not nose-dive, you gotta use throttle for the wheels to keep rotating in order to use gyroscopic effect.
I unintentionally jumped one of my Fieros years ago. Misjudged the road conditions. Lol. Small jump, but it landed fine. Kept the throttle pegged. No major nose dive.

19:50: I think the movie maker added wheight to the back of the car, because it's likly to flip forward if the driver is at the front than at the back,(wich is what insane people do.) and the character probaly knew that, so I think plausible, not busted
No, the car actually had the engine in the back so it has by default way more weight in the back compared to the test vehicle
20:23 it’s rear engine car Grant. RIP I hope you have a lot of robots in heaven 👌
as a car enthusiast it really hurts to see that second fiero get waster like that. thing looked mint.
As a kid it looked cooled as hell. As an adult now, its painful to see the cars get ruined. Prayers the frame didn't get fucked and they could be rebuilt.
All Fieros were junk
What are the 2 used cars? Thanks in advance
@@Thezaza054 It's a Pontiac Fiero - a first mass produced American mid-engine car. These two in the episode were the facelifted models produced between 1986 to 1988.
They probably cut off the throttle at the first jump of the car..
If they'd watched Colin McRae Rally Lectures, they'd know that to let the car not nose-dive, you gotta use throttle for the wheels to keep rotating in order to use gyroscopic effect.
I unintentionally jumped one of my Fieros years ago. Misjudged the road conditions. Lol. Small jump, but it landed fine. Kept the throttle pegged. No major nose dive.
