0:00:57 MythBusters clearly took its cues from scientific methods. But was there ever an instance when the outcome of your testing resulted in some branch of the scientific community reevaluating its findings?
0:11:14 In your opinion, would it have been considered fair play to employ manufactured paint balls in the painting with explosives build? Due to the semi-uniform container, trajectory, and splatter diameter, the variables would be more controlled and calculated. With enough barrels and the right explosive force, I hypothesize that it could have been possible to achieve an almost satisfactory coating.
0:18:25 You told us once how Jamie was upset with your impatient and rapid builds because he wanted to plan and check everything multiple times. But how did the crew got along with your way of working?
0:22:41 You often talk about how your time on Mythbusters made you an expert in some very specific skill sets like, for example, slow-motion videography. Over the years I always noticed that the graphical scales you made for the backgrounds of slow mo shots got more complex and more colorful/vibrant. Was this solely an artistic choice, or are there some hard-learned lessons you would like to share?
0:30:20 Do you remember what the sensations are in the artificial water whirlpool ? Can you share them with us please Adam ?
0:30:20 What is the most frustrating myth you have ever buster or confirmed
0:35:30 ​​I've read that today's cars windshields are too strong for breaking in emergencies. Do you think this is true compared to the episode of the car in the pool?
0:39:09 When shootingMythbusters, how would you decide which custom rigs/ setups you would save for future episodes?Having worked in SFX myself I've seen many SFX rigs be parted out or thrown away
0:41:25 ​​Chinese water torture was clearly uncomfortable for Kari, do you have any ideas how hard it was for people filming it, watching it unfold in front of them?
0:44:40 I would like to ask about materials. Beyond the Mythbusters’ “bread-and-butter” material(s) and the “weirdest” material you utilized for a show solution, what was perhaps an unexpected or surprising material that proved to be the precise solution you needed at the time?
0:49:52 During an episode, the entire team combined to help find a remedy for your and Grant's seasickness. A remedy was found, but why was it never used afterward? Or did the producers ban the two of you from using it in favor of good television?
