How do we see the original video this came from? Is there another channel? Paid access? Thx

I would argue that MythBusters is the most famous of all.. But in a Good way.. As in people are not hopping for romance, or other such stuff. As they sometimes do with other stars.. Yet unlike those famous people, Adam's fame is know by almost all! However, I do wonder if people sometimes go up to you and ask if such and such is true or not.. How to put it.. You and your cast, is viewed the way people view teachers! (So higher than normal expectations. I would guess!) Have a happy new year!

So, is it STEAM or STREAM now? I'm seeing toy packaging that adds Robotics as a category. How long until they find something for the letter N and make it SMARTEN (Or Y for MASTERY, U for Matures, etc).

I didn’t know that much about Grant Imahara before his passing. After I heard about it, I learned more and more of what he had done and my respect for him has grown so much since then.

Right on the money. Sad to see it destroy some who you'd think would excel. Thanks!

I think he caught himself about to use some very strong language 😆

@@Shandrunn I saw the word half-formed on his lips.

Totally. There's not enough introspective silence on KZfaq, and this was completely appropriate for it.

He does that often where he's just silent for a second before talking, as he actually thinks before saying something unlike many people do on the internet.

I think most people might have imagined how cool it would be to be famous, as a child or even a teenager. But with getting older and to see how social media had buried famous people, I rather just have a famous person money, but not the fame. You can spend your money in peace, not having the worlds eyes on you, judgeing every little step you make.

Adam making stuff up again. Everyone knows Jamie arrived in Cali in 1849 in a barrel carried by one of the first gold rush wagon trains. He was mislabelled as Parts, Mechanical, Sundry.

Friendly? They don’t like each other.

@@alfredohurtado7229 I wouldn't say that. I'd say that they don't get along. Adam frequently shows great respect to Jamie, and has acknowledged that they don't do things together anymore because they don't have to.

@@alfredohurtado7229 I thought that was a myth 😉

​@@alfredohurtado7229You can have friends that you can't stay/work around with (especially for long periods of time). If you are not forced to do that they can be friends for a lifetime. There is more than one type of friendship.

For a good example of what happens when nobody tells you "no", look at Donald Trump. After a lifetime of that he discovered that, contrary to his expectations, the Presidency was not a dictatorship and there are lots of people and organisations who were willing (and, in some cases, required) to tell him "no". His refusal to accept the "no" from the electorate in 2020 was just the most obvious manifestation of his problem.

Or be mature enough to tell ourselves, "no." I tell myself no all the time. There are things i would LOVE to do or buy, but don't make any sense in the real world. So i let myself dream, but i never fall into the trap that dreams are reality. For instance i would LOVE to own an Aston Martin, but that car makes no sense in my life. It won't make me happy, it'd make me nervous and worried. So i told myself no, even though i could afford one (used of course, i'm not rich). I even said No to a BMW, and bought a Honda instead. Why? Because a Honda makes more sense for me, and a BMW (or an Aston Martin) would not add anything other than bragging rights. And i don't need to impress other people, i just need a reliable vehicle that gets me around in comfort. And a Honda does that just fine, thank you very much!

You'll also avoid a lot of legal trouble once you're out of office.

did elton john also not say that, nobody said no to him when he was 25, got all money and glitter in world and tought the world would end if he was dead, so he tried to kill himself when nobody cared for him on a party he was hosting. im glad he saw later in 1990s how destructive he was to people around him

I know the light version of that. Being the transition from feeling like and intern to realizing: **** that was written with the self perception of being an intern. (Which was objectively not true anymore for several years at that point. But that's what getting old feels like: "3/5/10 years don't matter." Well, they do matter to people 3/5/10 years younger then you.) But the recipient sees me as a senior.

What a truly beautiful insight.

Agreed. This little video contains somewhat oddly *succinct* sage perspective from Adam, who can sometimes be verbose. This is an insightful share from his wild and multifarious life.

Car building shows , where are those now ... almost everyone is gone under .

Do you remember if he was upset about it? I assume you were no older than a teen, so I imagine that he would not show it too much, even if you were annoying lol.

Anyone can get starstruck about someone they're a big fan of and make a butt of themselves. You acknowledge your mistake which is better than many I'm sure. Peace mang

You probably have no idea how, as annoying you think you were, your story is quite common. Don’t feel bad, most of us family members of someone “famous” understand it. From the perspective of my particular family member, he enjoyed sending the table of the particular person desert with our compliments. There is the person you are, and the person “fame” makes people think you are. Those two are so very rarely the same. As the guy who had a few birthdays interrupted by the random autograph seeker, believe me, I was happy for my particular family member. Cheers, and don’t beat yourself up!

It is a cultural thing. A native Swede (not immigrants) would never do that. They would notice him sitting there but pretend they don't care. It is a combination of not wanting to disturb and being a bit shy.

I believe you're overblowing the incident a bit. Doesn't sound like that big of an issue at all. Meeting a hero is a big deal for someone, and only a *potential* and very minor 30 second inconvenience for a celeb. And while we should be respectful to celebrities, let's not forget they *chose* the celebrity life.

I'm just a youngling at 50 and on the other side of the pond. I didn't get to see Mythbusters until it was over but I was massively impressed by the way it was done. Raised by a Mech Eng and a Nurse, studied Chem/Biochem and ended up in IT. Seeing a wholesome team that uses a proper, methodical approach while still remaining fun? Utterly glorious. I'm actually, in a way, glad it stopped when it did as I don't like what popular "science" stuff looks like nowadays :(

What a lovely thing to say. I agree %100.

My daughter was obsessed with the show. She is now going to the number one engineering school in the country studying engineering design. This show taught so much more than the science it taught you. How to problem solve how to reverse engineer things. Made such an incredible impact on her. I can't thank them enough

Remember Mister Wizard?

!!!

This also applies to the guy who invented television itself (Philo Farnsworth). He passed away in 1971, and yet, he only made a single appearance on TV in his entire life -- on a 1950s game show called "I've got a secret". Of course nobody recognized him, and he successfully stumped the panel, who were tasked with guessing what his "secret" was. In an interview, his widow later told the story of how she and Philo had watched the moon landing in 1969: "We were watching it, and, when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, Phil turned to me and said, 'Pem, this has made it all worthwhile.' Before then, he wasn't too sure."

Do you remember in 2021 when the Suez Canal got blocked, and there was one guy willing to operate the excavator, carefully moving earth to help get it free and literally save billions of dollars for the global economy? He's the kind of person that I think of. 28-year-old Abdullah Abdul-Gawad, just doing an honest, risky job very carefully and making a massive impact in the process. I also think of people where I work. I work in quantum computing, which is so hot right now, but looking at the people who are really contributing to that... there are so many who are completely unknown outside the company, but they're the best of the best. There's dozens of scientists and engineers that I could point to who are absolutely critical and that nobody will ever hear of.

100%. My daughter is an engineer because of this show. An interestingly she chose engineering design because she wanted to solve actual problem sitting in front of her like they did on mythbusters

Agreed. He IS a modern day philosopher !!! Have you read his book ? It is awesome !

"going away"... That's certainly one way to put it

Same here. Happened occasionally when I lived in LA, happens once in a great while where I am now. It's one thing to cross paths on the street, and another to see them at a Con or elsewhere where they are specifically "making an appearance." Want to see funky fans? Go to a Hollywood Collector Show. Wow.

@@ArtamStudio Yeah, I was wondering about that show....

Here here. We'll said! Forever grateful to the people that helped push my thirst for knowledge and also satisfy the desire to learn and the encouragement to TRY.

I think it's quite variable based on the target audience. Adam is famous among the DIY, Tech & Science community. If he was a K-Pop star it would be VERY different. ... LoL

Too easy to loose touch with reality!

@@stephenbaxter3369 not such a bad thing considering how most experience reality. Perhaps you lose touch but only in the best of ways.

And Jamie is still in his late 90s. Does that man age?

​@@stevenbergom3415His mustache is as bristly as ever! 😂 He is starting to gray a little though. 😅These guys and gals make learning fun!

@@paulvamos7319 Has he made any public appearance at all since Mythbusters wrapped? The latest public footage is likely 7-8 years old. From what I understand, he's pretty much a recluse.

​@@mytube001Adam has talked about this a few times. Jamie is happiest when he's quietly working away from any public attention, and he often goes out of his way to avoid attention.

@@mytube001 I think the last time he was live was hosting the Makers Fair or sum such with Adam here. I think it's 2018 so, you're right, it's been 6 years! 😲

Adam has achieved something that is not for all. He has become wise or at the very least is firmly on the path to wisdom.

How arrogant to think there are not others much smarter or more talented than you, in many aspects, just because you have not seen nor experienced that talent. Among many talents, I have heard people on the internet whose singing can put many popular singers to shame. Imagine those with other important talents they don’t use for fame or money. This is why most people in the entertainment world are detestable.

I walked by Mick Jagger once. He's the lead singer of a huge rock band. I certainly knew instantly who he was too. You should see the entourage that's around that guy. Like a circus. We came up out of the Path station on the corner of 9th St and 6th Ave and he was right there on the sidewalk. I was literally right next to him. Thinking, that's Mick Jagger. He was walking one way and I was going the other. It being NYC I didn't say anything to him, of course.

Great choices

Those shows are always popping up on my YT list of things to watch.
