0:02:10 Do you decorate your home or the Tested office for Halloween? Are there any haunted builds you would like to do?
0:03:42 You talk a lot about your curiosity in crafts outside of your own. As a tattooer, I’d love to know if you have any take-aways from your tattoo experience. Was there anything that you found particularly interesting or inspiring about the craft, tools, environment, etc.?
0:10:32 What is a simple yet effective way of organizing Legos
0:10:49 Thank you, Adam, Kristen, and all of Tested for keeping this community connected as well as entertained. Do you see your entertainment skills as stemming from the maker side of you, or did they emerge separately?
0:17:03 Any advice on being a generalist in a world where self-branding and specialization seems to be the currency? How have you managed being someone who is pulled in so many different creative directions? Has it ever created indecision or difficulty? Have you ever felt like you needed to focus more on one area only to feel bored after some time?
0:20:51 Serious Halloween question: should we put out full size candy bars, or are you locked into being the "full size" house forever after that?
0:21:15 This is a super basic question, but what is a "thou" (said with the unvoiced dental fricative)? I just realized that when you say it, I just accept it as "a unit," but I'm not actually sure what unit it is. I'm guessing it's a thousandth of something?
0:27:12 Do you believe that perpetual motion is possible or impossible?
0:28:00 What is it like to have people be able to reference your earlier work (both on this channel and over years of television) and ask questions/make comparisons?
0:30:17 Do you have a film that you regret not being a part of? Also, do you have a film project you regret being a part of? 
0:33:36 Over the last few years I've started to learn more about woodworking, and the first thing I learned is that hoooo boy, I don't know as much about CLAMPS as I thought I did. What clamps do you keep and why?
0:36:52 I am an Old Paramedic from London and had to have a lot of my own equipment in my car as I worked all over the town. A lot of it was specialized, including my blood pressure machine and stethoscope (pre-digital). What pieces of equipment did you or do you constantly go back to in your daily work?
0:40:45 Is there a piece of Henson history that you want to replicate?
