I always wanted to know if Kari and Tory really did ride the bus all the way back to the Bay Area for not beating the lie detector test? I remember Grant being so happy when it was shown that he did.
There were shots in the episode of them getting on the bus and of their tickets. Guessing it's not practical or really ethical to put the camera crew on the bus and film on there
I was totally confused what myths there could be about M5 and M7 nuts and bolts... should've realised you wouldn't get questions about metric sized bolts...
@@cenciende9401 Why the animosity? It's just a measuring system, you act like it killed your father and had its way with your mother. I would guess based on the tone of your post that you think the US doesn't adopt metric out of some sort of obstinate national pride, that isn't at all the case. There's very good practical reas mon why the US still uses imperial for everyday use, it would cost trillions to reconfigure the entire country for metric, just changing all the signs on the tens of thousands of miles of Interstate would have an astronomical price tag, let alone all of industry, all the factories, machines etc. Almost everything that requires or benefits from using metric in the US does so anyways, mainly scientific fields. Even the imperial units are based on metric standards as well. But for things like construction it's just not enough of a benefit to offset the massive costs of reconfiguring an entire industry.
@@cenciende9401 First "Americidumb Units" is Insulting. Stop talking your intelligence is showing. Your are a hater. The English imperial system is a more accurate and less confusing then the metric system. There are plenty of examples of this. You are just not used to it and probably not smart enough to know a good thing when you see it. You drink a cup of coffee, not a liter of coffee. not .35L of coffee either. That is a dumb measurement system. A cup is 8 Oz. 1 Ounce is the average volume of liquid a person can swallow in one gulp. Didn't know that did you. Lastly you sound like a bigot that hates Americans. "B I G O T" Look it up. America is a Enormous country. It well NEVER be metric. The metric system used to be defined by the imperial English system when is was invented in France. Unfortunately Metric lovers got it reversed and now defined by the metric system, So The imperial system is really self defined by the imperial system. Both systems are arbitrary and not absolute. Only the Kelvin scale is absolute and makes sense but it has too few graduations and stops at a weird prime number 273. Should of been a 0 to 1000 degree scale..
And we're happy to see him! He's got a really awesome personality. Especially seeing him reminisce about these things is just amazing; you can FEEL his joy.
Oh the lie detector test.... Q: "Mr Imahara, have you ever had sexual relations with a female robot?" A: *Grant's nervous laugh "What kind of a question is that?" Narrator: "He says no, but his body says yes, YES, YES!"
I love hearing you talk about the metodology and problem solving abilities involved in every single episode. This show was a very aproachable dive into a laboratory.
The myth of a functional lie detector test is really the power that it has. If you believe someone knows if you are telling the truth or not, it influences you and makes it harder for you to be as good of a liar as you might otherwise be I think.
It also elicits false confessions by gaslighting innocent people into thinking they are lying, especially when police are allowed to do it for hours on end. Advice to take home: Shut the hell up and don't speak to cops. You demand a lawyer and then shut up until your lawyer says to speak.
They're really good at measuring physiological stress response. If you can lie without stress, then you can beat it. And if you're super stressed even telling the truth under polygraph, which I probably would be, then that could complicate things somewhat.
Fun story about the time I got a lie detector test for a job. It was for driving an armored car and as you can imagine we would be handling a lot of money so they had this test done. During the test the administrator repeatedly asked me if I had ever been arrested. He asked me other questions like had I stolen things and I ever done drugs and I ever driven drunk? The answer is unequivocally no but he kept asking me if I had ever been arrested. For the record I have never even come close. When he finished the test and un- hooked everything, he asked; " I have your background check right here and it doesn't show anything but have you ever been arrested?" I told him no, why? He said that every time he asked me that question my heart rate would jump. I'm not going to lie I'm a pretty upstanding person I work in security now, And I told him that even the thought of that was terrifying to me. But, It occurred to me to ask if the mere thought of one of the things he was asking is enough to make your heart rate spike out of fear, Couldn't that happen to anyone for any question based on personal fears and wouldn't that basically invalidate the test? He gave me a really dirty look and never said another word to me as he left. Tl;dr Adam is completely correct the tests are shite.
Just watched this. It's so great to hear you talk about the show. I think why the show was so good was the personalities of everyone envolved . Also you can tell how much passion and real reactions everyone had toward each project. I always loved how Jamie would be pleased with the results and you Adam were just full blown enthusiastic of the result. Two very different personalities that was interesting to see how you guys would react to the outcome of a myth. Oh also Adam can you have on tested like Tori or Kerri (hoped I spelled the names correct) for one episode each. It doesn't matter what it is we will watch. And can talk about things that were on the show.
I am a Blind artist. I've been losing my vision, incrementally, for two years. Friends have suggested tech. I can SEE my huge-assed computer screen (31") in a Dark room, but grocery shopping, even walking around my neighborhood, is getting dangerous. A friend suggested using a motorcycle helmet, and installing a 100degree HUD. YOU are the Only person I know of, who would even look into it. Cheers.
For me I enjoyed the two myths in season 7 involving Dumpster Diving and Deep Sea Diving. But between the two myths, I enjoyed the myth where an air supply failure could result in a body getting sucked up into the helmet. That was the myth Kari, Grant, and Tori did
It's funny that he talked so much about the shirt, because I just came here from a later video where I was thinking, "Damn, that's a nice looking shirt."
I would definitely be interested to hear Adam elaborate more on how they decided which team gets which myth. Also, I wonder if he ever showed up to their shop or on location just to watch the results of a test in person.
Toilet paper escape is also one of my favorites. The one I never forget about because of how mind blowing it was. I'll never forget about the hair rope either.
i remember grant being the only one who beat the lie detector in that myth and got a first class air ticket home for a prize. the other two had a 3 day ish bus trip back. god i miss that show.
I remember when they did the episode about beating a brain scanner that was used for lie detection, the stakes were that the people who didn't beat it had to go back to SF on a bus. The lab that they were shooting in was (I think) in Florida, or at least on the east coast.
That was part of the lie detector episode. Part 1 was beating a conventional lie detector. Part 2 was beating a Functional Magnetic Resonance Imager (FMRI). Part 1's stakes were 1st class tickets for the next MB air travel or having to wash, wax and polish the MB production crew's cars while Part 2's stakes were 1000$ cash or a 3,077 mile bus trip back to SF.
I took a polygraph once and I think your your own worst enemy when it comes to them they way they ask you questions and the long pauses between questions is if you lie you start getting in your own head and that's where they get you. If you tell the truth then you don't worry about if they find out
I'm remember too, Grant beating "YES YES YES" the CT scan and going back to California in first class and 1000 dolars, of course Kari and Tory on bus 3000 miles LOL
Thank you for these videos. Thank you for the show. Very awesome watching these memoirs and getting back the emotions brought out when the episodes first came out. Excellent!
Aw man, this brings so much nostalgia. I grew up with Mythbusters and I love to come back to it every now and then. Edit: Also to add to the lie detector thing, I wouldn't be surprised if their job was more intimidating people into telling the truth rather than actually checking the truth.
There is a reason that in a lot of (most) other countries lie detectors are not allowed to be used in an official court case. That's not a matter of not believing in it, just hard science.
A good way to add emotional weight to a lie-detector test would be, whatever You're afraid of... Heights, sharks, poodles... If you fail the test, You get an experience with that thing!
Oh Adam I LOve it when you swear/curse... and you do it so well the right words at the right time which just emphasizes the emotion...Just Great... Thank you.
I would like to see sponsored builds from Tested. Just like mythbusters.... sorta. 1. Do a crowdfund or a kickstarter to so sponsor a build. 2. set a dollar amount for materials and ect to had a build done. 3. get ideas for build from Patrons.
I passed 99.9% of all my polygraphs over 16 years. How I did this was to focus on keeping my internal systems of my body stable and non-reactive. I focused on a pattern and kept my breathing even. The hardest job was keeping the focus on one area.
I think the right way to do it would be to get participants invested in a fictional situation. You watch a movie where a sympathetic character is accused of a crime that you would probably forgive, and you know whether they're guilty or not. You get interrogated, and the lie detector operator tries to determine if you saw the person commit the crime or pass up the opportunity. Then you watch the rest of the movie where the character is freed or executed. You know it's fictional, but you're really determining the canon ending for your experience, and have the real emotions you get from a movie. You know the whole experiment beforehand and the bad ending isn't outside the range of mainstream movie scenes.
For the lie detector emotional component, I would have had a series of questions in which one person (possibly you) would know the answers. Their goal was to lie about some of them that you select. For every lie they could not get away with, they would have to hold their hand in a box. Inside that box...something creepy that they are terrified of. That way, they know if they don't succeed in that lie, they will have to do something they absolutely are terrified of.
I had a good friend who was a guard at Statesville Prison in IL. He told us about a toilet paper rope they found during a cell search that they tested. This was back in the early 1990’s. They looped it over a bar and swung on it. So when it was being tested on Mythbusters I knew it was going to work. Miss the show.
Absolutely loved myth busters growing up, eventually ended up buying one of my first cars 2 blocks away from m5 industries off of ceaser chavez Blvd wouldnt be surprised if a lot of the junk cars in the show came from that junkyard
Kari painted the Louis Vuitton style logo's on the leather cannon along with putting on the 'gold' emblems in that style too on it. Of course instead of 'LV' it was 'MB'.
I have one, too. It's like a layer of plastic wrap made of neoprene... it's weird. (driving school instructor's shirt. most tracks require long sleeves, and we do this shit on 100F days -- of course, we race in fire suits in similar conditions.)
Yes it was great to see their response with the blue ice. But the response for the engineers that the Mythbusters performed that experiment to prove how and could make that blue ice hail stone. That was outstanding.
It has been a while since Mythbusters .. You should do a 60 min site down youtube live interview over drinks with Jamie about what He & M5 have been doing & want to be doing. That would be cool!
Regarding the tinfoil ball: It takes way longer than anyone realizes, and you always think you're so close to being done, until you realize you aren't. I've made 2 of them successfully so far, and each one took 15+ hours over the course of weeks.
Mr Savage, this is the first and only time I have heard an American say the word "shite" as a man from the Merseyside area, my chest swells with pride 😄
My experience with lie detectors; I had to be tested for a job, my father worked for a government agency that did an experiment to see if they would submit to tests for court. Through their methodology they determined lie detectors were useless, the operator was the top rated guy in the area that most people relied on. The operator asked (pleaded) that the results not be made public because it would ruin him. Some years later I had to be tested to work for a job, the day of the test the operator told me to ensure an accurate outcome the test would be repeated three times. After the first test the operator asked if I was any relation to the other person he had given the test to with the same last name, I said yes, he said you failed test over.
As someone in Scotland who uses "Sh**e" as a regular curse, I have to say I don't think I've ever heard it said by an American. Its a great curse and really encapsulates my thoughts on a lot of the regular company diktats or ideas that often come my way.
in a way i'm lucky because all the science teachers i've had were so cool science and art are the only classes that i'm really excited to got to i remember one day my science teacher was going to set up some kind of experiment and he ask me to come early to help him i skipped lunch for that and i don't regret it the guy even showed us random magic tricks unfortunately he's now a principal and doesn't teach anymore but i'm happy for him and all my science teacher also they're the ones i learned about mythbusters from i didn't know it was a thing untill we watched it class it was cool.
Lie detectors are pretty solid with the right operator. Their primary job is measuring a few vital quantifiable levels, but their secondary function is more important. People don’t get attached to those machines by accident. The lie detector is a device meant to suss out things that are less quantifiable, which they often do at a stellar degree.
No, they aren't. They are a lie and a device meant to manipulate based on pseudoscience that even the inventor of the polygraph actively worked against them publicly because he didn't expect law enforcement to use his device maliciously and abusively like they do. Lie detectors aren't real, they don't exist, get over it and stop shilling for them. You are either an ignorant shill or just a bootlicker if you think they actually work. They aren't admissible in court for a reason. They are stellar at getting false confessions out of people that police borderline torture with their interrogation methods though.
I remember that episode and I remember thinking the same thing. I thought the easiest thing would be genuine, painful punishment- if they get caught, they get tased!
Set up a test in which if you fail the lie detector examination, you have to do something you're phobic about--touch a spider, rappel the side of a tall building, etc.
A friend of mine didn't get a federal law enforcement job because his polygraph said he was deceptive when asked if he knew or was in contact with any foreign agents. We joked about that forever accusing everyone we knew of being foreign agents.
I haven't seen that myth so I don't know what their methodology was but something like if they fail the test the crew gets to use a stun gun on them. Right at the end of the test or maybe to be administered at the time of their choosing. Maybe a cattle prod instead of a stun gun.
Reminds me of the time Adam actually got pissed off at the other three when they were testing some kind of divine intervention if you placed your hands on two golden statues but they rigged it to send a small electric shock and asked Adam to test it out. Adam was not impressed lol. One of the few times you saw him genuinely angry on the show.

So yeah, definitely some emotional stakes generated if you smeared _poo_ on his monitor.
And people wonder why they had a personality conflict lol. Then people think its Jamie just being a stick in the mud/uptight. Hearing Adam say that definitely makes me think he was a bit of agitator as well lol.
@@AaronSmith-kr5yf I think it's mor that Adam is a strong cup of coffee. He seems like a great guy but whenever I've met people who are way more extroverted than me, they exhaust me and aren't people I like to hang out with. Adam for me seems the right level of extrovert for my level of introvert but he seems way too much for Jamie, which is fine.
I will forever admire this man's boundless enthusiasm and joie de vivre. Thank you for all that you do.
Edit: Syntax.
I love that--even this many years out--Adam just won't stop poking at Jamie.
I find it funny too. But even though those two didn't always get along, I found that since they were so different from each other they were perfect for each other.
I find his nipples poking out of his shirt funnier
It's all in good fun. Damn I miss Mythbusters. The perfect blend of science, mayhem and a good team having genuine fun. We're blessed it lasted so many years.
@@mr.roboto8324 they may not have gotten along but they had a great respect for each other’s work and ideas and were a good pair for busting myths they had two very different thought processes and problem solving very good at getting to the bottom of something is to have a good look from both sides.
I love him cracking himself up with the Jamie's update card joke.
I always wanted to know if Kari and Tory really did ride the bus all the way back to the Bay Area for not beating the lie detector test? I remember Grant being so happy when it was shown that he did.
There were shots in the episode of them getting on the bus and of their tickets. Guessing it's not practical or really ethical to put the camera crew on the bus and film on there

I was totally confused what myths there could be about M5 and M7 nuts and bolts... should've realised you wouldn't get questions about metric sized bolts...
You talking crossbows or linen there, bud?
Why wouldn't they? Mythbusters was shown all around the world, you know that place where they don't use ameridumb units?
@@cenciende9401 Why the animosity? It's just a measuring system, you act like it killed your father and had its way with your mother.
I would guess based on the tone of your post that you think the US doesn't adopt metric out of some sort of obstinate national pride, that isn't at all the case. There's very good practical reas mon why the US still uses imperial for everyday use, it would cost trillions to reconfigure the entire country for metric, just changing all the signs on the tens of thousands of miles of Interstate would have an astronomical price tag, let alone all of industry, all the factories, machines etc.
Almost everything that requires or benefits from using metric in the US does so anyways, mainly scientific fields. Even the imperial units are based on metric standards as well. But for things like construction it's just not enough of a benefit to offset the massive costs of reconfiguring an entire industry.
@@cenciende9401 First "Americidumb Units" is Insulting. Stop talking your intelligence is showing. Your are a hater.
The English imperial system is a more accurate and less confusing then the metric system. There are plenty of examples of this. You are just not used to it and probably not smart enough to know a good thing when you see it.
You drink a cup of coffee, not a liter of coffee. not .35L of coffee either. That is a dumb measurement system. A cup is 8 Oz. 1 Ounce is the average volume of liquid a person can swallow in one gulp. Didn't know that did you.
Lastly you sound like a bigot that hates Americans. "B I G O T" Look it up.
America is a Enormous country. It well NEVER be metric.
The metric system used to be defined by the imperial English system when is was invented in France.
Unfortunately Metric lovers got it reversed and now defined by the metric system, So The imperial system is really self defined by the imperial system.
Both systems are arbitrary and not absolute. Only the Kelvin scale is absolute and makes sense but it has too few graduations and stops at a weird prime number 273. Should of been a 0 to 1000 degree scale..

It was Mythbusters logos that she styled after the Louis Viton logo on the leather cannon.
I love hearing you talk about the metodology and problem solving abilities involved in every single episode.
This show was a very aproachable dive into a laboratory.
Not going to lie, before the intro story about the shirt, I was thinking to myself, "Pretty minimalist shirt, but it's a good look."
The myth of a functional lie detector test is really the power that it has. If you believe someone knows if you are telling the truth or not, it influences you and makes it harder for you to be as good of a liar as you might otherwise be I think.
It also elicits false confessions by gaslighting innocent people into thinking they are lying, especially when police are allowed to do it for hours on end. Advice to take home: Shut the hell up and don't speak to cops. You demand a lawyer and then shut up until your lawyer says to speak.
The inventor of the polygraph literally said it was “shite”
@Cindy Klenk A proper poly relies on the other person being tense. It's off more than it's accurate.
probably for normal people its effective
@@johnlau8461 Statistically, not much better than chance. And they aren't legally binding and good no weight under trial, in the US, at least.
@Cindy Klenk lol they're crap keep your gestapo none sense.
They're really good at measuring physiological stress response. If you can lie without stress, then you can beat it. And if you're super stressed even telling the truth under polygraph, which I probably would be, then that could complicate things somewhat.
Fun story about the time I got a lie detector test for a job.
It was for driving an armored car and as you can imagine we would be handling a lot of money so they had this test done. During the test the administrator repeatedly asked me if I had ever been arrested. He asked me other questions like had I stolen things and I ever done drugs and I ever driven drunk? The answer is unequivocally no but he kept asking me if I had ever been arrested. For the record I have never even come close. When he finished the test and un- hooked everything, he asked; " I have your background check right here and it doesn't show anything but have you ever been arrested?" I told him no, why? He said that every time he asked me that question my heart rate would jump. I'm not going to lie I'm a pretty upstanding person I work in security now, And I told him that even the thought of that was terrifying to me. But, It occurred to me to ask if the mere thought of one of the things he was asking is enough to make your heart rate spike out of fear, Couldn't that happen to anyone for any question based on personal fears and wouldn't that basically invalidate the test?
He gave me a really dirty look and never said another word to me as he left. Tl;dr Adam is completely correct the tests are shite.
Mythbusters will always hold a dear place in my heart.
Thank you so much
Happy Xmas & new year x
Just watched this. It's so great to hear you talk about the show. I think why the show was so good was the personalities of everyone envolved . Also you can tell how much passion and real reactions everyone had toward each project.
I always loved how Jamie would be pleased with the results and you Adam were just full blown enthusiastic of the result. Two very different personalities that was interesting to see how you guys would react to the outcome of a myth.
Oh also Adam can you have on tested like Tori or Kerri (hoped I spelled the names correct) for one episode each. It doesn't matter what it is we will watch. And can talk about things that were on the show.
I have to say, Neptunic is the BEST name for an underwater clothing (well, armor technically) company
That subtle Jamie roast had me dead 💀
They very idea of a "lie detecting MACHINE" is just so dystopian to me.
I really loved the build team's chemistry
I am a Blind artist. I've been losing my vision, incrementally, for two years. Friends have suggested tech. I can SEE my huge-assed computer screen (31") in a Dark room, but grocery shopping, even walking around my neighborhood, is getting dangerous. A friend suggested using a motorcycle helmet, and installing a 100degree HUD. YOU are the Only person I know of, who would even look into it. Cheers.
For me I enjoyed the two myths in season 7 involving Dumpster Diving and Deep Sea Diving. But between the two myths, I enjoyed the myth where an air supply failure could result in a body getting sucked up into the helmet. That was the myth Kari, Grant, and Tori did
Adam is such a great genuine guy, I have so much admiration for him. Keep being amazing adam!
It's funny that he talked so much about the shirt, because I just came here from a later video where I was thinking, "Damn, that's a nice looking shirt."
all these years later and the jokes about Jamie being a robot make me smile :)
I would definitely be interested to hear Adam elaborate more on how they decided which team gets which myth. Also, I wonder if he ever showed up to their shop or on location just to watch the results of a test in person.
Toilet paper escape is also one of my favorites. The one I never forget about because of how mind blowing it was.
I'll never forget about the hair rope either.
One of if not my favorite scenes on the show "Barney Miller" is where Dietrich takes a lie detector test.
Didnt he say he was from outer space, and the machine said he telling the truth?
i remember grant being the only one who beat the lie detector in that myth and got a first class air ticket home for a prize. the other two had a 3 day ish bus trip back. god i miss that show.
I remember when they did the episode about beating a brain scanner that was used for lie detection, the stakes were that the people who didn't beat it had to go back to SF on a bus. The lab that they were shooting in was (I think) in Florida, or at least on the east coast.
That was part of the lie detector episode. Part 1 was beating a conventional lie detector. Part 2 was beating a Functional Magnetic Resonance Imager (FMRI). Part 1's stakes were 1st class tickets for the next MB air travel or having to wash, wax and polish the MB production crew's cars while Part 2's stakes were 1000$ cash or a 3,077 mile bus trip back to SF.
I took a polygraph once and I think your your own worst enemy when it comes to them they way they ask you questions and the long pauses between questions is if you lie you start getting in your own head and that's where they get you. If you tell the truth then you don't worry about if they find out
I'm remember too, Grant beating "YES YES YES" the CT scan and going back to California in first class and 1000 dolars, of course Kari and Tory on bus 3000 miles LOL
Good old M5 industries, I miss the old days. Oh and Adam do you ever visit M5, and does Jamie still own it?
Jaime does still own it and He was building a fire fighting tank last time I heard.
Thank you for these videos. Thank you for the show. Very awesome watching these memoirs and getting back the emotions brought out when the episodes first came out. Excellent!
Aw man, this brings so much nostalgia. I grew up with Mythbusters and I love to come back to it every now and then.
Edit: Also to add to the lie detector thing, I wouldn't be surprised if their job was more intimidating people into telling the truth rather than actually checking the truth.
There is a reason that in a lot of (most) other countries lie detectors are not allowed to be used in an official court case.
That's not a matter of not believing in it, just hard science.
The amount of raw energy in this man is enough to power a medium sized city.
A good way to add emotional weight to a lie-detector test would be, whatever You're afraid of... Heights, sharks, poodles... If you fail the test, You get an experience with that thing!
Exactly what I was thinking as I watched the video
Oh Adam I LOve it when you swear/curse... and you do it so well the right words at the right time which just emphasizes the emotion...Just Great... Thank you.
I would like to see sponsored builds from Tested. Just like mythbusters.... sorta.
1. Do a crowdfund or a kickstarter to so sponsor a build.
2. set a dollar amount for materials and ect to had a build done.
3. get ideas for build from Patrons.
This is easily one of the coolest channels on youtube. Every episode is just a joy to watch
I love how insanely happy he is at the end of the vid, he's glowing.
I passed 99.9% of all my polygraphs over 16 years. How I did this was to focus on keeping my internal systems of my body stable and non-reactive. I focused on a pattern and kept my breathing even. The hardest job was keeping the focus on one area.
I think the right way to do it would be to get participants invested in a fictional situation. You watch a movie where a sympathetic character is accused of a crime that you would probably forgive, and you know whether they're guilty or not. You get interrogated, and the lie detector operator tries to determine if you saw the person commit the crime or pass up the opportunity. Then you watch the rest of the movie where the character is freed or executed. You know it's fictional, but you're really determining the canon ending for your experience, and have the real emotions you get from a movie. You know the whole experiment beforehand and the bad ending isn't outside the range of mainstream movie scenes.
For the lie detector emotional component, I would have had a series of questions in which one person (possibly you) would know the answers. Their goal was to lie about some of them that you select. For every lie they could not get away with, they would have to hold their hand in a box. Inside that box...something creepy that they are terrified of.
That way, they know if they don't succeed in that lie, they will have to do something they absolutely are terrified of.
Adam really is like a child, "OMG! WAIT! LET ME GO GET SOMETHING!" ZOOM! He's gone.
Most intelligent child I've ever heard
At 3:00 I thought my compressor just went off.. now I am waiting for Adam to say that is my compressor...
I was more often that not bored by M7's myths, I always just wanted to see Adam and Jamie. Didn't help that Scottie left.
I had a good friend who was a guard at Statesville Prison in IL. He told us about a toilet paper rope they found during a cell search that they tested. This was back in the early 1990’s. They looped it over a bar and swung on it. So when it was being tested on Mythbusters I knew it was going to work. Miss the show.
Watching Adam remember these stories from the show is just great! Merry Christmas.
Absolutely loved myth busters growing up, eventually ended up buying one of my first cars 2 blocks away from m5 industries off of ceaser chavez Blvd wouldnt be surprised if a lot of the junk cars in the show came from that junkyard
So cool to end with a story about Grant 🙏 2020 has been a hard year and it’s nice to remember Grant with a big smile! 😄
Anyone else appreciate the perfect timing of that compressor or whatever it was shutting off @4:40
Kari painted the Louis Vuitton style logo's on the leather cannon along with putting on the 'gold' emblems in that style too on it. Of course instead of 'LV' it was 'MB'.
I have a shirt made of that same material, I call it the "nipple" shirt. It's a high performance material that wicks away moisture or something.
I have one, too. It's like a layer of plastic wrap made of neoprene... it's weird. (driving school instructor's shirt. most tracks require long sleeves, and we do this shit on 100F days -- of course, we race in fire suits in similar conditions.)
Thanks for commenting, Boyle
Thanks for helping to make this year a little more bearable.
Merry Christmas
Safe and Happy New Year
Yes it was great to see their response with the blue ice. But the response for the engineers that the Mythbusters performed that experiment to prove how and could make that blue ice hail stone. That was outstanding.
It has been a while since Mythbusters .. You should do a 60 min site down youtube live interview over drinks with Jamie about what He & M5 have been doing & want to be doing. That would be cool!
No Adam, Thank you and the rest of the cast from that wonderful show, for all the memories it provided.. and Merry Christmas!
Regarding the tinfoil ball: It takes way longer than anyone realizes, and you always think you're so close to being done, until you realize you aren't. I've made 2 of them successfully so far, and each one took 15+ hours over the course of weeks.
It was Louis Vuitton. I knew that from pure memory. I miss MythBusters so much. It was the best of TV. Adam, thank YOU for the memories.
Mr Savage, this is the first and only time I have heard an American say the word "shite" as a man from the Merseyside area, my chest swells with pride 😄
thank you , Adam. I really miss MythBusters. RIP Grant. I never missed an episode or even a rerun of any of them.
My experience with lie detectors; I had to be tested for a job, my father worked for a government agency that did an experiment to see if they would submit to tests for court. Through their methodology they determined lie detectors were useless, the operator was the top rated guy in the area that most people relied on. The operator asked (pleaded) that the results not be made public because it would ruin him. Some years later I had to be tested to work for a job, the day of the test the operator told me to ensure an accurate outcome the test would be repeated three times. After the first test the operator asked if I was any relation to the other person he had given the test to with the same last name, I said yes, he said you failed test over.
As someone in Scotland who uses "Sh**e" as a regular curse, I have to say I don't think I've ever heard it said by an American. Its a great curse and really encapsulates my thoughts on a lot of the regular company diktats or ideas that often come my way.
in a way i'm lucky because all the science teachers i've had were so cool science and art are the only classes that i'm really excited to got to i remember one day my science teacher was going to set up some kind of experiment and he ask me to come early to help him i skipped lunch for that and i don't regret it the guy even showed us random magic tricks unfortunately he's now a principal and doesn't teach anymore but i'm happy for him and all my science teacher also they're the ones i learned about mythbusters from i didn't know it was a thing untill we watched it class it was cool.
Lie detectors are pretty solid with the right operator. Their primary job is measuring a few vital quantifiable levels, but their secondary function is more important. People don’t get attached to those machines by accident. The lie detector is a device meant to suss out things that are less quantifiable, which they often do at a stellar degree.
No, they aren't. They are a lie and a device meant to manipulate based on pseudoscience that even the inventor of the polygraph actively worked against them publicly because he didn't expect law enforcement to use his device maliciously and abusively like they do. Lie detectors aren't real, they don't exist, get over it and stop shilling for them. You are either an ignorant shill or just a bootlicker if you think they actually work. They aren't admissible in court for a reason. They are stellar at getting false confessions out of people that police borderline torture with their interrogation methods though.

I remember that episode and I remember thinking the same thing. I thought the easiest thing would be genuine, painful punishment- if they get caught, they get tased!
Adam is a consummate storyteller. If you pause his videos at almost any moment you can feel the emotion behind how he is feeling.
My Neptunic hat (from Stuart Cove's) is my go-to dive day hat. Such a great logo!
4:40 nice demonstration of the force, jedi Savage
Yeah, blue ice was awesome. And yeah, Grant and Tory's reaction to the test succeeding was hilarious.
RIP, Grant. We miss ya.
Funny, I saw the blue ice episode again, just a few days ago.
Set up a test in which if you fail the lie detector examination, you have to do something you're phobic about--touch a spider, rappel the side of a tall building, etc.
Adam is a national treasure.
A friend of mine didn't get a federal law enforcement job because his polygraph said he was deceptive when asked if he knew or was in contact with any foreign agents. We joked about that forever accusing everyone we knew of being foreign agents.
turkey falling on zombie dog was the greatest thing i ever seen on TV
I haven't seen that myth so I don't know what their methodology was but something like if they fail the test the crew gets to use a stun gun on them. Right at the end of the test or maybe to be administered at the time of their choosing. Maybe a cattle prod instead of a stun gun.
Reminds me of the time Adam actually got pissed off at the other three when they were testing some kind of divine intervention if you placed your hands on two golden statues but they rigged it to send a small electric shock and asked Adam to test it out. Adam was not impressed lol. One of the few times you saw him genuinely angry on the show.
