00:00 Introduction
03:40 You love esoteric and super specific tools/machines. Which one tool/machine have you used in your career that's most made you go "it does one job, and it does it REALLY well!!"
10:38 You’ve mentioned you go to garage sales. Do you get recognized when you are out and about, or are folks chill and let you be? How difficult is it to maneuver around in your off-camera life?
12:36 My making rarely uses power tools beyond a drill. Something I am curious about is what are the various saws (table saw, band saw, chop saw, circular saw, and the like) used for besides the obvious of cutting stuff up? Why would you use one over another?
17:31 Formula 1 is racing in Las Vegas this weekend. The technology is truly amazing. Have you had any interest in auto racing? I know MythBusters did a show with Indycar.
19:50 If you were a billionaire, would you continue to make these videos and these works?
20:39 After two decades in front of a camera, you act like you're talking to an actual person instead of a camera lens. Was it awkward to do that when you started Mythbusters, or did having someone standing there holding the camera help make it feel more natural? Now, fast forward to the pandemic when you were filming alone in your cave without anyone to "talk to.” Was it an easy transition from a cameraman to just a camera in the room?
30:26 Ghostbusters Frozen Empire, how excited are you? And did you make any props?
31:49 Is the impetus to "make" and "be creative" a habit or something else?
35:25 I’ve noticed you often use various subtle but very well placed British turn of phrase. Have you had many British influences in your work over the years?
39:15 About the myth of fused two bullets together, normally the probability is canceled with several different types of collision, but I think that the two bullets in your case are manipulated with an automaton during the shot. Could you explain to me perhaps if you consider that the myth is still plausible or busted or confirmed?
42:16 About a year ago I added a daily hot tea to my routine as a of ritual mental oasis of sorts. Is it possible to have a good restful break in the middle of a noisy workshop?
44:41 I was recently watching the season 3 episode "Mythbusters Revealed" and in the behind-the-scenes interviews it didn't quite seem like Jamie was enjoying doing the show. Was there ever a point in Mythbusters run where there was a worry he (or you) might leave the show?
47:07 Is there a question you have for an A-level celebrity – especially someone getting on in years with unpredictable time left – that you’ve been carrying around for a while on the basis that if you ever “happen” to get the chance to meet them, you’d love to ask, but you’re not optimistic that you’ll ever get that opportunity?
54:15 What part of creating is your personal favorite? The design side or the 'making it ' side ?
57:56 Have you ever struggled with anxiety about scary tools? If so, how did you overcome that? I want to do more wood work, but I'm terrified of powered saws
