0:03:20 You often wear a shirt that says "Kindness, Empathy, Respect", and you regularly go out of your way to spread a message of kindness towards everyone. I know you also stay out of politics, but can you offer any advice for weathering uncertain hostile times?
0:06:22 If you were given the opportunity to change something in your past, would you?
0:07:02 You often refer to a "scarcity model.” Apologies if you have explained this in the past, but could you please go into a bit of detail about what you mean by this?
0:10:14 I love this format but sometimes miss the old podcast. What are some media that you have encountered recently that you love and/or want to recommend? Books, TV, movies, live theatre?
0:17:58 I make Youtube videos as a small side hustle and have always been proud that I make the content I want to, and people naturally gravitate toward it. However, with overall views dropping lately I'm debating making content that I think will get more views even if it's not my first choice. How have you grappled with making the things you want to vs. the things you think will be most profitable?
0:21:44 ​​Did America's love for Mythbusters put a unnecessary strain on your relationship with Jamie that in the end pushed you each further apart than what may naturally have happened.
0:23:47 I’m planning on dressing up as No-Face for Halloween this year, and your incognito version is a huge inspiration. I want to set mine up so the weight sits on my shoulders, but I’m not totally sure how to start. Do you have any tips on how to pull that off?
0:25:11 My 9 year old child spent hours working on a creative project, and excitedly took it to school. During the day some kids destroyed it and my child is heartbroken. Do you have any advice for growing up as a maker? Thank you
0:28:00 Do you have a good method for helping retain your different skills? Or do you just go back to reference material and manuals to brush up on them as needed?
0:29:26 Are there any particular materials you have had a bad experience working with, and now are hesitant to use again? I recently broke a glass cup while washing it. It cut my hand pretty good, and now I am extremely cautious around glass (a recent viewing of Final Destination around my accident didn't help).
0:34:00 I have noticed 3D printed parts for an OG Alien flashlight in several videos you’ve posted. How is it coming along and will you be carrying it around any cons in your Moebius suit?
0:35:25 I understand that there is an anti-flathead screw lobby. Do you know why this is? Also, what is your position on flathead screws?
0:40:00 When trying to get your name out there as a freelancer (I'm a woodworker and scenic designer), what's a better idea? Focus on doing one thing a lot and really showing it off or doing a wider variety of things and showing basic range of interests and skills?
0:41:57 I’m setting up a new shop in a new house and I have a whole room for my office. Is segmentation of tools in one area, and stock in another, a good idea for flow?
0:44:10 ​​I'm going in for my hip replacement next week and I'm wondering if it would be weird if I ask for the piece of bone back to make something out of?
0:46:49 ​​Would you draw a distinction between gatekeeping and asking people to “pay their dues”
0:51:30 Been a maker for quite some time (Never knew it until Tested, and you conveyed that I indeed am a maker) Recently obsessed with using magnets in my builds. Do u have a fav build or cool solution for build using magnets??
0:55:09 Back in the 1970s when I was a kid, my Uncle George had a workshop and said that he thought the most dangerous tool there was the band saw. I was there once when the blade broke and spun around the room, doing what George called the dance of the seven veils. What is the most dangerous tool in your cave?
