Adam LOVED this interview, and he's a HUGE FAN of We Rate Dogs (and now We Walk Dogs)! Thank you so much for including him!

[@dog_rates]

it was our pleasure! he and Maggie were amazing 🤗

[@TrevorHigginsDustysqueak]

We have a new little golden and I love Adam's insight. This was a delight. Thanks all.

[@tekvax01]

What a delightful 20 minutes well spent!

[@gayleklein7243]

Adam and Maggie have the same facial hair. So stinking cute.

[@daveco1270]

Do you know (or can you find out) what brand jacket Adam was wearing during this interview? I've been looking for a jacket like that. : )

[@stressbakingyoutube]

This is going to be the new Hot Ones, but instead of celebrities melting their own faces while being thrown interview questions by a delightful host, we're going to get celebrities walking adorable dogs... while being thrown interview questions by a delightful host. I loved every second of this.

[@modularcuriosity]

Yes! I love that idea. This certainly has that potential.

[@NMC21887]

I just came to say this! Here’s why. Because just like suffering from spicy food is a universal state, so is walking a dog.

[@AleksandrMotsjonov]

funny. That was my thoughts exactly, came to comments to read if someone said it. And someone did!

[@jonathanloh1634]

And it's surprisingly comforting

[@MakerCuisine]

I want this to happen so much

[@CptPatch]

This format has as much potential as Hot Ones for getting unconventional answers in interviews, but with wholesomeness instead of shared pain. I look forward to seeing more of your work!

[@sylvangroth4074]

I absolutely love that Adam made no fus of picking up Maggie's poop and was visibly surprised that someone would take it for him.

[@tested]

Adam was truly surprised and with the first poop, disposed of the bag himself.

[@leespeed91]

This has potential to be the greatest series ever

[@Laurel99]

This is the collab I didn't know I needed till now

[@RicardoJunqueira]

Adam is one of my favorite people in the entire world. Although I never met or talked to him, I have a deep feeling of gratitude to the universe for be able to share time alive with him. He's such a good soul. Kind, energetic, super intelligent and a great communicator. Thank you for having him on the show.

[@Jasmine-gw1uw]

You probably will if you go to a con

[@gohawks3571]

I feel the same way. In existing on this planet, sharing space with people from sweet to jerky, it is nice to know there are properly cool people out there who are nice, smart, and respectable. I'm not this cool for sure😂

[@Jasmine-gw1uw]

@@gohawks3571 seriously

[@twitte0king]

I used to think that way. Adam is a great maker, but a overrated”educator,science communicator” . I have been thru phases, idolising, doubting, envying, indifference,withdrawal, back to respect as a normal human

[@gohawks3571]

@@twitte0king I get you. We certainly shouldn't be over-obsessed with people. The thing is, most of the people I've me in my life were not as kind and respectful as Adam. And on top of that we have celebraties that are absolutely insane humans. It is nice to have a famous person who is genuine and kind for once. I am enjoying the time he exists on this planet. Many people just aren't like this, but mean and rude.

[@stu3379]

Who knew this is exactly what I needed. A slow walk, conversation about dogs, and the background music was perfect. To watch someone wax poetic about their pet, and give a voice to them is fantastic. Giving a celebrity a chance to talk about something other than themselves, especially someone that is in their life 24/7.... so therapeutic. No wonder Adam enjoyed himself so immensely. I look forward to more! Subbed!

[@cathe8282]

You consistently keep getting better. I look forward every day to your content. From "they're good dogs, Brent" to the 15/10s, the LGBTQ+ allies, to the dogs you showcase on Fridays, to your year end collections and now this. I love the peace and love you bring to the world. Thank you.

[@csilla924]

What a wonderful comment. My thoughts exactly.

[@dmohninger]

Finally able to sit down with a coffee and enjoy this video. As someone who said goodbye to their furry friend last year, it was so cathartic to hear the relationship between human and dog put into words in this interview. I certainly hope you are able to make more, and Maggie and Adam were the perfect start. Thank you!

[@simmer_jay]

How did I not know WeRateDogs has a channel?! This was so lovely to watch. It felt like two old friends going for a long walk and sharing deep personal stories. Thank you for this.

[@Avioto]

This is wholesome as heck...14/10

[@megletable]

Please watch your language 🤗

[@colinbradbury]

I know for a fact that Chris Evans LOVES his dog Dodger and would have an amazing time spending the day talking about him.

[@headzsets4337]

MAKE THIS A FULL SERIES! Ingenious idea.

[@TheAccidentalViking]

My son grew up on Mythbusters. He knew early on what he wanted to do. Coding, automation, building stuff that measures scientific experiments. (We joked when he was a child that I was 'Empirical Girl' and he was 'Question Everything Boy.' ) This past year, at 17, he started at the local university, beating out 20 other candidates, to start his 2 year apprenticeship and he has an enthusiastic mentor he admires and enjoys spending time with. He works with professors and post graduate students to maintain and create new equipment for classrooms and experimental labs. (Metrologist technical assistant) He's been so inspired by the professors and his mentor that he is now making plans to get a MSc. Thank you, Adam. And to keep it dog related, when my son was little he once declared, 'There are two universal truths. When a baby smiles at you, you smile back and when a dog stops on the street and asks for a pat, you greet it and pat it.' I don't think he was wrong.

[@monikanagyova8834]

All dogs are maybe not equally intelligent but they are definitely 100% all equally good boys and good girls ❤

[@unclewilco]

Brilliant - I may cry a little for each new video - if the rest of the owners love their dogs as much as Adam

[@Jennyninja68]

Bears are very friend shaped and I want to hug so bad 😩

[@Jasmine-gw1uw]

Adam is a profoundly loving man he’s always making his wife gifts and talking about how much he loves hos dog,family friends etc

[@TheLaughingBurger]

Never thought I'd see the day that I'd see a great man, a cute dog and Adam Savage going for a nice walk and chat. So wholesome.

[@amandajenkins5210]

Walk Dinero with Sir Patrick Stewart!

[@VideoByPandy]

Had a blast working on this

[@lilfleischie]

I rang Adam up once back in the day when I worked retail, he was so nice, a real mensch and Maggie is so cute, Hi Maggie! I think Chris Evans and Dodger would be a good get, if you ever see his Buzzfeed interview, it's clear how deeply he loves dogs

[@Zanesku]

Mike Rowe and Freddy next!

[@sandralassman6229]

I've always been a big fan of Adam Savage, and seeing this walking interview with him and Maggie, it was fantastic! You did a great job, questions were really good. Can't wait to see who's next? Norman Reedus, perhaps? ;)

[@ArwenAngel1]

Does Norman have a dog? I thought he had cats.

[@chaddouglas2136]

Mike Rowe.

[@seradhe1389]

Sometimes the Algorithm drops gold in my lap. First was Hot Ones series, now this. Instant subscribe and I sincerely hope this takes off

[@TiffanyFahy]

I love how you guys are just ambling along and Maggie is perfectly content at this pace. Definitely the opposite of a walk with my 3 year old cocker 😂

[@vixengypsy]

I came for Adam, stayed for Maggie. I really hope this becomes a full series, very well done.

[@ErwinFT]

I love and admire Adam since I was a kid. What a great idea to start this with him and the beautiful Maggie

[@wako29]

PLEASE continue with more of these. It is so amazing and beautiful and we all could use more happiness like this in our lives

[@markgrudzinski914]

Adam Savage is someone I'd love to sit next to on a long overseas flight.

[@elliot_grooves]

This is something I didn’t know I needed until I saw it posted

[@bj5843]

Adam Savage is one of my favorite creators on this earth, and this is now my favorite thing he’s done.

[@NitaKerns]

Adam and Maggie have the same facial hair and its adorable 🥰 That is 100% a compliment! I love finding similarities between humans and their pets, especially physical traits. Maggie is so stinkin' cute! I spent many years working at a grooming shop and became enamored with wire-coated breeds- they were fun to work on, as they dry quicker and they look cute scruffy or trimmed tight. I also noticed it was usually the wirey ones who seemed to have an attitude on the grooming table. 🤣

[@idowallach6476]

not only did i not expect this show to be THAT good. i did not expect crying several time during this. absolutely amazing!

[@howHumam]

Adam Savage is a saint.

[@ValkoorMoonblood]

Really loved this! Adam Savage is such a down to earth genuine dude, and Maggie is absolutely lovely.

[@chafedvader]

What a lovely show. Came across the video because it was shared via Tested. I certainly hope it continues and you can find other people to be a part of it. I'd recommend reaching out to Wil Wheaton. He and his wife are dog lovers as well.

[@arcie3716]

I’ve already fallen in love with this series. Can’t wait for more videos in the future ❤

[@SyntheticFuture]

I wish we could clone Adam. The world needs more Adam Savage's.

[@SoirEkim]

Adam Savage is a soul who will always be welcome.

[@oliviadunn2229]

This was so wonderful! I’d love to see Jen from the golden ratio, Olivia Munn and her dogs, Lindsay Vonn, and Kristen bell!

[@MakerCuisine]

Adam savage is one of my maker icons and its so great to see him interviewed this way and to get to see maggie. Just reaffirmed how much i like him as a person.

[@ruthcrowley8691]

What a terrific idea for a show... Matt and We Rate Dogs have done it again! You gave us a nice relaxed intimacy or peek into a celeb's personal life but you kept it light and funny! I love Adam Savage and his work from Myth Busters and how you threaded excerpts of his creative work into this episode. Great job!

[@peterjmarkham]

I loved this video. I'm a huge WeRateDogs fan and a huge Adam Savage fan. What a great first episode. My suggestion for another episode: Will and Anne Wheaton and their dog Marlowe.

[@freya002YT]

Yes!

[@bbbrossett]

What a great idea! Seinfeld has his cars and coffee shops and you have dogs and important people. You know, this is the exact dog I always pictured tis guy having lol

[@caitlinjoy2828]

Thank you for thanking him on behalf of all of us who grew up on mythbusters!!

[@Meggish62]

Oh my, I love this new Dog Rates WeWalkDogs already. The last thing I do before bed - & to purge the ugliness of experiencing Twitter - is to read the most recent Dog Rates. It truly feeds my soul. I go to sleep smiling. WeWalkDogs clearly provides the same sweetness and wholesomeness. 🥰

[@jamesb3557]

I’m firmly convinced that Adam savage is our generations “Mr Rogers” or “Bob Ross”. A national treasure that I hope lasts for a long time to come

[@corgiw7281]

Liam O'Brien, the voice actor who's behind Vax in 'The Legend of Vox Machina', several Marvel animated characters, miscellaneous characters in the Star Wars 'The Bad Bunch' characters etc etc etc has a young black&tan long-haired dachshund named Sprigg. He and Sprigg bike together, Sprigg's done cosplay, and Liam's a real Dog Person. He's also a fun interview!

[@MajorScarlet]

I have to say, Adam hit this right on the head with his description of making. Around 30 years ago I found out that the Commerce Department regarded physical encyclopaedias as manufacturing, but when the same information went out on a CD-ROM that was classified as a service. I thought that was idiocy of supreme degree and came up with my own primary economic sectors based on their relationship to entropy. 1. Making - when you're done, there's more "stuff." This is housing, manufacturing, artwork, software, all of it. 2. Fixing - car repairs, lawn mowing, anything that defeats entropy to preserve the "stuff" made by making. Preserves wealth. 3. Doing - the real service sector: walking the dog, serving food, distributing goods. This doesn't create or preserve "stuff," but it gives makers and fixers time to make and fix and distributes the wealth created by makers to doers. I'm working to start my own channel to talk about things like this, but thank you Adam for presenting "Making" so well!

[@mediocrates5233]

The bears thing at the end? Exactly!!😀

[@qtpi9228]

I am so proud of you for doing this. What an amazing opportunity and success for you and your brand!!! I’d love to see more!! Dr. Mine has Bear (a Newfie) in New York and Zach from the TryGuys has a dog (Bowie, Aussie) but also has health issues!

[@andrewlovegrove6442]

That was a beautiful commentary and revelation, its why we love Adam and why we love dogs! Your conversation was awesome, so natural and insightful. Thank you 😊

[@xarvous]

That's a great point about bears being friend-shaped

[@laurentaylor8191]

Love this! You should definitely walk with Simone Giertz and her dog Scraps

[@MariaFrancaSerrau]

I love this episode with Adam Savage and Maggie❤and I'd love to see Mark Hamill and Molly!!

[@BaileyB1011]

How is this getting me teary eyed this Monday morning 😭 dogs are just the best

[@usmntclips4028]

Definitely made me late for my doctor’s appointment but it was worth it 😊

[@lisajoseph5817]

The sound of Adam Savage puttering around his shop helped keep me sane during the solitary months of Covid lockdown. Obviously Maggie is the bestest girl. #alldogsarebestdogs

[@daveco1270]

This is a great idea for an interview series. People love their dogs.

[@janesmith4617]

I loved this interview. When Adam was talking about interspecies communication I wondered if he's seen the KZbin channel BilliSpeaks, where a cat called Billi uses sound buttons to communicate with. She's very expressive, and her favourite word is "mad"--very feline!

[@mnchls]

New favorite series!!! Ryan Gosling and whatever pup he surely has these days would be an awesome get.

[@kpool694]

I absolutely love his view on dogs. I agree. I’m down to one dog out of three. I don’t know what I’ll do without her

[@GuntherVonB]

I sure do appreciate Adam now more than ever.

[@suzymiller3275]

Please walk with Alton Brown and his dog Scabigail and Andrew Cotter with Olive & Mabel - I think my heart would simply explode with joy! This is what the internet should be for!

[@MichaelDuntz]

100% this should be a series.

[@BeverleyButterfly]

This is amazing I'd love to see you interview Chris Evans and his rescue dog I love when he shares pictures of him

[@dmhogan4239]

What a lovely and articulate man! This is my favourite interview from WeWalkDogs.

[@michaellopour7409]

This was raw and honest and beautiful and I loved it and Maggie looks JUST like my beautiful girl I lost at 14 a few years ago. DON'T YOU EVER GET SO BIG YOU CUT THE POOPING HAHA!!!!

[@RebeccaStJean-ye9tp]

Matt, loved the KZbin interview!! Maybe interview Jennifer Garner since she is a fellow Charlestonian and dog lover! As always, a huge fan and so glad you are rocking it!!

[@chadmartens7226]

I had no idea this existed until I saw it pop up on my feed, and now it may be one of my favorite things ever. Adam is just such a warm and well spoken and wholesome human, and seeing him wax poetic about dogs and his wonderful dog Maggie. Thank you, this is just delightful! And I agree, it is rude that bears are so friend-shaped but can't be our friends...

[@charlesm.1638]

The hard part is when they grow old is realizing they soon will be gone. My two dogs are old and it is sad to see them this way. My wife and I love them so much. They make our bad days better and they are for us when one of us is sick.

[@krejados1]

TIL that when dogs roll onto their backs, they feel totally at ease with whomever they roll over in front of. As an animal shelter volunteer who occasionally has the dogs showing her their bellies, that's incredibly gratifying. Awesome presentation! Thanks so much!

[@goodun2974]

I have a 90 pound female Anatolian Shepherd mix that we rescued and nursed back to health 3 months ago; she'll lean up against complete strangers, slowly slide to the ground, pinning their feet down, and roll onto her back in hopes of getting a belly rub. Unusually long-limbed and tall, she is the fastest dog at the dog park; people ask what she's crossed with, and I reply "cheetah, or antelope". I don't think she's made of flesh and bone, more like Slinkies and Flubber. Meanwhile, our large old male Anatolian (shown here) plods around in slo-mo like a lion, and only deigns to grace you with his presence if you have dog treats, or pizza....

[@matthewkapfer2464]

Dogs are just the kindest thing in the world.

[@MaggieD]

Loved this interview and have subscribed in the hopes of seeing more. Also, my dog Ketchup is not often a "watching the dog in the screen" dog, but he stopped and stared at Maggie every time she had a close up on screen. All relaxed body language, so I think he liked her. Very cute.

[@fzone331]

Loved it! I know Whitney Cummings, Amanda Seyfried & Keisten Chenowith all have dogs they adore.

[@kendrariddle6175]

Agree! I have been with my boys for 15 and 19 years. I know what they need/want. It feels telepathic sometimes. And my big boy also gives me the " B it's time to go to bed" look and I know 100 when its that lol

[@lauralake7430]

His thoughts on cloning are so important. We just need to enjoy what we have, now, while we have it.

[@alexsilva-vn7jc]

Adam is a wise, wise man. Great interview!

[@MsCanuck1970]

I suggest walking with The Golden Ratio, GR Mom and GR Dad! I loved this video, thanks 😁

[@blazegirl74]

This episode had me equally smiling and tearing up. Wonderful interview! ❤

[@MelTheFruitFly]

I so want this to be a series. This was lovely.

[@glenncrider2566]

Thanks Matt and Adam. This was great! I suggest Josh Campbell and his dog Pico for the next video.

[@cherylharmon9311]

THIS IS FANTASTIC! I can’t wait for more episodes. I think you had a wonderful balance of focus between the interviewee and the dog. Don’t change a thing. 😍🤩

[@nicolelourensz5222]

That's a subscribe, with alerts, from me. Looking forward to future dog walks!

[@lydiayorkie]

This is the absolutely best content I've seen in a long time. I can so relate to the dog telling me it's nearing bedtime as my fur baby does the same. Thank you so much for this!!!

The fastest I've ever subscribed to a channel. You've struck gold here, enjoy the ride to the top!

[@TheCarpDM]

This series has great potential, and I can't think of a better way to start it! Adam and Maggie were lovely, and everything felt very relaxed and comfortable. (Also, the last line was perfect!)

[@BarnhartPhil]

One of the best interviews with a much beloved soul. Adam and Matt are ok too I guess!

[@briancanterbury9054]

I've been waiting so long for this.

[@johnricciii4365]

these guys should become a Baby Disney!

[@johnbogle6475]

As much as I appreciate your engineering acumen, I see you as an artist first. There is a saying amongst musicians (which probably rings true for most art forms) that says "Musicians don't pass away like most people, they only expire when the music runs out". As to being a builder/creator I suspect the same will propel you through your life. I say YEA!!! Stay passionate and keep the music going :). Thanks

[@gibberishname]

Omg 2 of my favorite internet people. Together at last!!!!!

[@Echoingencouragement]

I have loved the sharpwriter for decades! Thanks!

[@tekvax01]

What a delightful 20 minutes well spent!

[@acatnamedm4529]

What a delightful interview & what a chill interview format. Adam appreciating the skill of the crew made me smile. He seems like a genuinely nice person. Loved it.

[@allochthonplays2978]

Two of my fave things combining their awesomeness powers! This is a good day.

Aww this film made me so happy. You three are all wonderful beings. What good boys and girls.
