00:00 Start
02:26 What has the experience been like having a part on the new Ghostbusters set? Driving the Ecto-1? Seeing all the props?
7:21 You have mentioned many times how grueling the production schedule of Mythbusters was over the 14 year run of the show. During that time how did the whole production team stay resilient and keep up their morale? Given your experience in tv/film/production etc. what lessons about team morale and resilience have you brought forward into your work today?
15:45 Have you ever worked with or wanted to work with Walt Disney Imagineering? Having what they do be tangible in the real world seems to line up with how you prefer to make stuff.
17:16 Have you ever accepted a job (movie, commercial, theater) for prop building and instantly regretted it?
24:45 Did you think of myth busters as a job, or a fun hobby that you conveniently got paid for?
28:18 I know that you traveled extensively with MythBusters and touring what were some of the places that stand out or that you never could have imagined going to? Where would you go back to?
35:41 I'm rewatching MythBusters and in Season 1, you guys had a snake moving around during the blue print portion. I'm curious: whose snake was it?
37:40 Was there anything you filmed that did not make it to air?
42:46 How did it feel being in the water with sharks on the repellent myth?
47:40 How did you refocus in a quick turnaround after coming up with a system and methodology that looked great on paper but when in practice you had to scrap it and completely rework it especially when you're working under time crunches to get the episode wrapped.
51:44 What was working with Billy Joel like?
55:51 What was the most theoretically difficult myth to test? I mean physics, chemistry, the stuff usually done by PhDs in research.
1:01:30 Did you ever suffer from creativity burn out? What did you do to get un-stuck or get back your motivated?
1:04:31 Did your background working BTS in theatre and film influence how you interacted with the crews once you became on-screen talent?
1:08:42 People often ask about what myth did you wish you did but never could get done...I would love to know what myth you DID do that you wish you had just left alone.
1:11:50 What was your favorite movie to cover that had the best myths for Mythbusters?
1:17:10 What was the most memorable MythBusters project you worked on with Grant?
1:18:50 What was the most uncomfortable day on MythBusters?
