Wish I could just drop in to the tested workshop some day...and sit down for a nice beer and a good old interesting chat with yourself Adam...I have always enjoyed the level of enthusiasm you inject into your work
I've been binge watching old episodes of Mythbusters, lately, and counting the number of times where you must have thought:
It doesn't get any better than this.
A few examples:
Rocket car
Whip-onto-a-log-crossing across a chasm, Indiana Jones style
Slip and Sliding onto a ramp, and flying through the air into water
Blowing up a cement truck
Driving up a ramp onto a truck, ala Knight Rider
Free Fall Elevator
Car ejection seat
Civil war rocket
Drifting
McGuyver Escape room
I could keep going for a day, and not even come close to Blue Angels or Dragon Lady. Or the experience of upside down car.
Hi Adam
@@Mortarman0341
I just watched a part of the U2 spyplane episode. Just before the plane took off, Jamie said something about how Adam had to be beaming 'right about now'.
You see, Jamie understood that sometimes, you give an opportunity to someone else who might like it way, way, way more than you would. And that gave Jamie - a guy who doesn't outwardly express joy a lot - joy.
You could learn from that.
Please look out for emily the engineer at ur silicon valley comicon..she does some good work with her ironman suit builds nd I think she could learn a lot more from u 😁
"My highest altitude I've been to is classified." Man that's the coolest shit you've ever said.
but why would it even need to be classified? we have people in space and had people on the moon, why would this matter?
@jeremiah mason, because the military doesn't like other militaries to know exactly what they are capable of, or not.
@@jeremiahmason6127 it's not about the altitude that Adam went to, it's about the altitude that the U2 went to. It's still an active US military spy plane with classified capabilities.
IIRC, 70,000 feet is the official altitude the SR-71 flew at and that is widely known so it makes sense that they'd use that as a reference.
@@jeremiahmason6127 because the U2 is surprising still in use and so they want to protect its exact specs and ability
it's so fun watching Adam flex how tasty his skin is to octopuses
But you could posit that this may not be a good thing. Is the octopus thinking, "This biped really tastes good. If he gets a little closer...lunch!" Maybe its the same as humans smelling some of the foods at the market.
Just wondering....
Yep... Seeya Adam, it was nice knowing you.
“That’s a tasty man”- octopus
Off topic but it feels so weird to see someone else with the same duck as a profile pic, i even remade it to fit better as a pfp
@@duckytheduck3127 wtf
Adam's enthusiasm for life makes me so happy. His joy is absolutely infectious
no kidding, i had a grin through the whole video
"He likes the taste of your skin"
Filed in "phrases you want to hear about an octopus", or "phrases you don't want to hear about a serial killer".
Little of column A and a little of column B.
The line that came to my brain was "I hope you brought it dinner first".. but then I suppose Adam 'was' dinner, in this case
The line 10:08 "seeing my wife['s face] drenched but with just pure joy on her face" also sounds very different out of context. But actually a very nice story in context.
getting some "Whose Line is it Anyway" vibes
I cared for giant octopus at the national zoo for 10 years, and never lost my fascination with them. My favorite thing was when I sprayed them with water and they would worl their arms together to shed their suckers. I can never really know what they were thinking, but their behavior made you think that it felt good.
Amazing!
@@tested I actually started volunteering to learn what I needed to know to keep an octopus to do behavioral research. I never did the research, but wouldn't trade the experience for anything. After 10 years, they still seemed alien.
@@tested I haven't interacted with an octopus, but I did get in the water with stingrays and feed them and that was pretty cool. I'd definitely do it again.
@@tested he likes your taste, and I like his squid cousins taste
I still remember him saying “no, honey, those are octopus hickies.”
My dad just passed away 2 days ago and I find myself watching Adam a lot because he reminds me of him. Stay as happy and curious as always, Adam. You help people in ways you don't even realize
Condolences. May your father Live in Memory.
We're so sorry for your loss. We'll pass your message on to Adam.
Sorry for your loss buddy. Stay strong and live your life to the fullest
My left 8 months ago and one of the best things for my mind was to re-watch all of Mythbusters. God speed my friend
Good thoughts to you and your loved ones. Take care
"...scuba diver had swallowed some octopus eggs and they grew inside the scuba diver's stomach."
*cut to advertisement*
"Let's talk about your poop. It shouldn't be hard like uncracked walnuts."
But those are the best!
Everything else feels unhealthy.
I usually think these are fake but I can tell this one isn’t because I know that ad
When Adam talked about communicating across species boundaries, i turned around to where one of our cats. She heard me turning around, we slow blinked each other, assuring us everything is fine and she went back to sleep. Yup. Totally agree.
I can't help but feel like in that moment when you look the octopus in the eye and it squirts water at you, it feels like it's trying to communicate something along the lines of "I see you friend, I know you see me too" and that's just an incredible feeling
I was incredibly jealous of you for getting to fly the U2, if I recall you and Jamie were gonna flip for it but he saw how excited you were and just gave it to you which says plenty about his character. I'm glad you enjoyed the F-18 flight because you seemed to spend a lot of it puking!
Adam: "I've always loved octopuses."
Me: [Looking at my octopus necklace, octopus keychain, two octopus dresses, and 4 plush octopuses on my bed] "Yes, me too."
Man this is just beautiful. As an aircraft mechanic I would have said the U 2 flight but you got me with the octopus storyline. I love nature too. Just amazing.
I can listen to Adam talk about things all day. The level of passion he speaks about everything with is so awesome!
I highly recommend the documentary "My Octopus Teacher" on Netflix. It's about a marine biologist who befriended an octopus while studying a kelp forest.
Reminds me of visiting a zoo, walked up to a tiger enclosure and this one tiger just locked eyes with me, came to the front of the enclosure and just started pacing up and down, never breaking eye contact. Never has a double-chain link fence looked so flimsy. Seeing a tiger on TV is one thing, having one stare you down from about 8 feet away gave me a whole new appreciation of the words "Apex Predator".
Then it pressed it's ass against the fence and sprayed me with wee-wee.
Not the most majestic end to an incredible encounter... but very few people can say they've been peed on by an Albino Tiger.
Anyone remotely interested in these amazing creatures should watch “my octopus teacher” a beautiful film that (deservedly) won the academy award for best documentary.
Envy....... Adam and Jamie has done so many incredible things. I absolutely will always love this show. Such unbelievable experiences!
Hmmm, maybe someday, I’ll try to feed a octopus......😅
Always cool seeing video of what looks like a rock underwater, and then it pops up and swims away because it was an Octopus in full camouflage mode trying to hide in plain sight. They can change their skin texture, not just color… that’s so weird, and so cool!
Hearing Adam talk about all this experiences feels like talking with a friend about good old times. I am 40 years now and i think i saw every episode of MB over the years and i realy can say i enjoyed them all. Thx Adam for the good times. I cant imagine how it must have been to do all these exiting and weird stuff, but it was always entertaining (and not at least edjucating) to watch you doing them. 😎👍
Connection is a beautiful thing, especially when it's unexpected.
The flights of fantasy episode is my uncompromised favorite. I'll never forget the moment the U2 rolled for take off, and blessed be your sound engineer for using Ninja Tracks song Eon.... was just surreal. And the chase cars being Pontiac G8s, which I own, just made the episode that much more special.
Watching Adam talk about the wonder and joy of Octopuses is giving me real Hank Green energy 🥰
Great stories!
Wow! When worlds collide! Never thought I'd see you here!
I believe at 1:03, Adam almost said how much of California he could see (all of it or from X to Y?) and quickly caught himself, realizing that given that info, one could calculate a good guesstimate of his classified altitude. Quick thinking there, Adam. :-)
but why would it even need to be classified? we have people in space and had people on the moon, why would this matter?
@@jeremiahmason6127 Because launches to orbit can be detected and, once detected, can be easily tracked and times identified when they will be over sensitive areas. The U2 (and SR-71) have the advantage of taking off without notice and being over specific areas of interest without being detected. Any knowledge of the capabilities of such planes (max altitude, speed, time aloft, etc.) would degrade this advantage.
White shirts hanging up, is Jamie visiting Adams cave 🤣
I believe it’s only 1 shirt, that’s a mirror in the middle of the rack.
@@joermnyc you're right. I was convinced it was 2 shirts until you pointed that out.
It just means Jamie is out shirtless in public.
Adam sticks his arm in the Pacific octopus tank. Keep in mind there are no native gingers in the Pacific. Octopus be like, oh that's a new flavor of human, DELICIOUS!!!!!
Carl Sagan said we're all made of star stuff. To that extent we're connected by that single bond. I loved your story about the octopus; wish more people could see all creatures the way you saw that those octopuses.
your story about interacting with an "alien" consciousness in the form of an octopus gives me hope for humanity, I struggle daily with interacting with coworkers, whose view of reality is so alien to my perception that I sometimes lose hope for our species, maybe, if you can connect with a different species I can find a way to connect with my own species no matter how alien their view of reality. thanks Adam as always you inspire in ways you don't foresee.
Offer them a shrimp, let them taste your skin.
When the cephalopod revolution comes… they’ll find you. Maybe to say ‘Hi.”, maybe to have a feast. ;-)
I was able to hand feed a baby octopus at the Seattle Aquarium when I was younger and it is one of my favorite things I've done as well. I would love to meet an adult octopus.
Too bad Mythbusters ended before Dragon Crew flew… Adam and Jamie in space!
So astroturf is kryptonite for octopuses? Thanks for that information; you just inspired me to have a fever dream of angry octopuses taking over Earth and the last safe hold for humanity is the Brady Bunch house. "Don't worry Cindy, they can't reach us in here."
Watching you gestate while speaking about how much you appreciate the little things in life really helps me out. Every time I watch one of your videos it makes me appreciate the little things.
Beale AFB was one of my favorite places I went in the BSA. We went there once for Scout Expo and it was so great and all the people were so kind.
Have you seen the film "My Octopus Teacher"? It's awesome.
Came here to say this.
This was one of my favorite answers yet. This was a fun ride down memory lane.
Man what I would give to sit down and have a beer with Adam one day...
It would take way, way too much of his time, so it would probably never happen, but I would *love* a series where Adam watches through Mythbusters and does commentary over each episode, talking about all the behind-the-scenes stories for every episode.
Fun fact: the U2 plane Wikipedia says the ceiling is 70,000 feet showing how classified it really is.
It was fun hearing Adam's experience with sharks. I've been fascinated by sharks since I was a young kid and it's one of my life long dreams to swim with them. I find them to be one of the most beautiful and misunderstood creatures there is. They're also surprisingly smart for a fish.
Imagine how hard it must have been not to play danger zone (the top gun song)
That octopus story was so captivating that after the video I scrolled down to the comments and only then remembered that there was something about a U-2 in the beginning as well.
I like when the videos are closer to the current date. I can scour the background for what builds we may get to see coming up!
I love this story. Reminds me when I use to scuba in North Vancouver, BC. More often than not I'd find a Octopus hiding in between rocks... just look for the broken shells was the trick. Such an odd feeling when the touch you. The tentacle is like one large muscle pulling you in closer. I only took one opportunity to touch it, as I was told it can be stressfull on these creatures. Thanks for sharing Adam :)
This whole video, Adam's conclusions and the story about the octopus, brought tears to my eyes. Faith in humanity is restored when feeling like this.
The end regarding the understanding across species was downright poetic.
Adam, it's such a delight to listen to your recollections. You're a wonderful story teller...
I hope you and Micheal Stevens do another tour and visit South Australia one day !!
At it's highest, the U2 has about a 10 mph window between stalling and breaking the sound barrier.
damn
Thanks, Adam. I agree about swimming with sharks. It's an unbelievable, fun, and surprisingly calm thing to do. What a neat experience with the octopus. I appreciate you sharing with us.
Correct. Alumnus, alumni. That's Latin.
The octopus has Greek origins, octo- meaning 8 and -pus meaning foot.
The plural is indeed octopodes. I'd pronounce it ok-to-poh-deez but we have no idea what they would have said.
Thanks for sharing the octopus story that was really nice.😊
This is testament to the power of looking deep into the eyes of an alien (meaning non-human) creature which still conveys intelligence and thus an almost mystical form of connection and shared understanding. In all the incredible experiences that Adam has had, it is this moment of connection which stands out. There is something deeply moving and profound about this, and it also demonstrates the incredible empathy which helps make Adam a person worthy of utmost respect, for a thousand amazing moments it is a moment of empathy which is treasured most dearly. Thank you for reminding me that the world is amazing, but the creatures we share it with are even more so.
Wonderful, eloquent, uplifting. As always. Thank you Adam. Brightened my day.
Octopus... definitely something you want to consult the wife about before adopting as a pet. :D
I love your enthusiasm! Thanks for sharing those great stories with us!
Introverts - I love your Octopi discussion. Your enthusiasm is great (from someone your age). I will get the plural correct eventually, but the language I am learning does not have plurals
These posts on MB, just prove to me MB can EASILY come back, and would still have a huge, and loyal fan base!
If it came back with Adam. If they started it back up with two new people, I'm sure a lot of people would check it out but there's a good chance they wouldn't stay.
@@HariSeldon913 they did try to bring it back with new people, they held a contest to find the new hosts and everything. I watched the new season once, and then went back to just watching old episodes, it just wasn't the same without Adam and Jamie.
About 15 years ago I did some work with the Birch Aquarium. We were working around the octopus tanks and I had a very similar experience. It was amazing.
Adam is the biggest flex ever
He is in over 3 TV shows and a podcast, as well as a TH-cam channel with 5 and a half million subscribers
He has gone over the speed of sound 7 times
He has flown a blue angel flight (at classified speeds)
He has experience 7 Gs 3 times
He has experienced over 700 explosions
Octopuses like his skin
Edit: fact check
Physics says nothing can exceed light speed. Now I might believe he's gone faster than the speed of sound.
Super fun projects every time.
I had an experience with an octopus in the wild like this. It’s mind-blowing and humbling and amazing.
Agree about the hammerhead shark. Seeing them in the wild is a very strange experience. You don’t know what you are looking at for a while, especially from the side.
I love this guy
Me, a millennial with depression and a severe lack of hope for the future, watching the angel that is Adam Savage: "I wonder what that's like. Just.. Happiness."
I've only got to interact with an octopus once, at the Newport Aquarium in Oregon. I believe it was a giant pacific, but it was so long ago I can't be sure, it's mantle was bigger than my torso at the time though and I can't imagine how long it would've truly been outstretched, but at the time they had the top of the tank off and you could put your hand near the top of the tank and it would reach out and just sort of feel each person that came past, right against the glass watching everyone. Even that small experience was incredible because, like you say...man, it's weird but you when you look an octopus in the eye you KNOW it's thinking about you. Just how curious they are and how much personality they have. It's absolutely uncanny.
Adam Savage is guilty as charged, with the stories...... I could listen all day haha
2:28 Adam does his Jeff Goldblum impression.
Adam here making me feel guilty for enjoying takoyaki.
I've got... a fear... almost a phobia of octopus and squid. It was all I could do to listen to it, and yet, I'm glad it was so awesome for you.
I was taught that "octopi" is the singular form, and "octopus" is the plural.
I had been taught incorrectly about "dice" versus "die". I'm still not sure which is correct. I'm glad I can refer to the singular case by number of sides, i.e D20.
As far as the octopus issue goes, the origin of the word is Greek, and some people applied latin rules to pluralize it, hence octopi. To avoid mixing grammars inappropriately, one should use the Greek plural, octopode, or the English plural, octopuses.
@@josephhutch4911 Die is singular, dice is plural. A mnemonic could be to think of it as the word with more letters is the one about more objects. Or, dice has an S sound, and often an S sound at the end of a word indicates a plural form.
That's how Latin works, and since many English words are originally came from Latin, that's where the idea comes from.
But "Octopus" isn't derived from Latin, it's derived from Greek, and the Greek plural form is "Octopodes". There comes a point though where the correct answer is "stop being pedantic about the correct form".
www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/the-many-plurals-of-octopus-octopi-octopuses-octopodes
@@ApocolypseZombie Octopus isn't really from either - it's a bit of medieval English fanfiction, where they made up a name based on a mixture of Latin and Greek. In Greek, the word for octopus was polypous (πολύπους), with two accepted plurals: polypodes, and polypoi (cognate with Latin polypi and, going with the more modern octo- prefix, English octopi). Not only is there a point where the correct answer is to stop being pedantic, but both versions are perfectly acceptable from a historic standpoint. Add to that, language isn't a thing that's set in stone and defined by ISO standards, so if most people say and write octopi, that's the correct plural form.
Fun tidbits of information in this one. Thanks for sharing.
Of the things I ever thought I'd be jealous of, I wouldn't have thought it'd be feeding an octopus.
4:50 something about the delivery of this line and the whole monologue reminded me of the movie "Tusk". Maybe its time to remake the movie but with an octopus, eh adam?
finally the patrons are actually asking more about mythbusters.
Awesome video as always. Definitely connected with you on thoughts on people and animals and there relationships with us,very nice.
I now want to get my arm snogged by a giant octopus.
I'm super jelly of u going on the U-2
Ok Adam!!!....how many times in a super hornet or other air craft have you tossed your cookies!? And how many time through out MYTHBUSTERS have you tossed out the cookies!?!? Just for fun!! I loved MYTHBUSTERS am still a super fan!!! Thank you for your work on MYTHBUSTERS and to Jamie H. Loved the show!!!
I'm ment to be going to work.. but can't till iv heard about the octopus 🐙 . I'll tell them the traffic was bad 😬
The octopus wants to know what dry rub you used to taste so good.
Great video! I’ve always particularly like the term octopods even though it has broader definition.
Oh! But apparently, a group of octopuses is called a consortium!
AstroTurf, that’s really really funny 😄. Thanks for sharing that information. I love knowing that 🙂🐿
New bucket list item! love Octopods!
that was riveting, thanks Adam!
@Adam Savage's Tested: Why not build a encounter vehicle for the occtopus? Little rover with with aaquarium on top, so they can explore our world?
Mrs don't try this... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for sharing your diving experience. My most relaxing time is underwater. Sharks are under appreciated and overly vilified. I enjoy seeing your pure love of octopuses. Had to edit this I used the incorrect term. Lol. Stay safe.
4:12am. Maybe I should go to sleep soon😂
Adam has the best answers.
Anybody else hear in their brain "No, really honey those are OCTOPUS hickeys"?
Well that alone was worth a couple years of patron membership. Thank you.
I love how he whispered "Octipitties"
I can't afford to become a patron at the moment, but I've always wondered if Jamie got miffed that Adam always got to do these flights (U2, F18, etc.) or if he was in agreement that Adam should do them.
if I recall, jamie didn't like heights, but I bet he was disappointed
Having that connection with another creature, and knowing people eat them... any thoughts?
"I broke the speed of sound seven times; I pulled seven and a half G's three times; and I only passed out twice!"
Adam doesn't mention how many times he puked...
(There is one shot of him using a barf bag, but was it the only one? Were there more that we weren't shown?)
"New octopus food! Now Adam flavored!"
What a great story, thanks Adam! 😁
I said do you speak ah my language. He smiled and just tested my hand yeah.
