[@Prophias]

Can't believe you got to slap Adam freaking Savage

[@ggarber4763]

I enjoy your work. Just wondering if the slowmo files are video or one file per frame. If per frame and a compressed file, I wonder if you can just look for a change in file size to see when the action starts. Also can the cameras detect changes from frame to frame and flag them somehow?

[@DHBat]

Jamie watching Gavin throw the slap: That’s my job! Dan watching Adam receive the slap: That’s my job!

Ha!

Oh it was Jamie, I thought Ive seen this before

Honestly, can't say how happy I am that Gavin is getting to work with Adam as much as he is lately. I know that was a dream of his for a long time.

could you imagine what the show would have looked like with the camera tech we have now ohhh please make a special mythbusters episode with all these new fancy cameras ... the cement truck in 8k slowmo uurrgghhhh i need it

[@spacepiratecaptainrush1237]

I feel like one of the biggest contributions to the world Adam and folks like him have done is the enthusiasm. not just about science but that is a big part of it. it's "This thing is so cool!" It is both infectious and it gives people permission to be enthusiastic about their interests.

[@tested]

Lovely comment - thank you!

[@ktgame2640]

You are the biggest personality engineering has ever seen!

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

I agree and have said similar in multiple occasions! 🍻 Here's a real brain melter for you/everyone... Try and imagine a world where Mythbusters never happened, and as such, Adam was never in our lives, nor would he be now. 🫠🤯 It's nigh impossible! The knock-on effect of Mythbusters would've meant so much in the world would not have happened. So many people wouldn't be in the fields they are in all because that inspiration wouldn't have existed. It's basically a very real and public example of The Butterfly Effect... I'm *very* grateful we DO live in this universe, which _did_ have Mythbusters and now Adam on KZbin.

[@corbingarrett1206]

Adam is an international treasure. He reminds us daily that we shouldn't be ashamed or embarrassed about the things we find interesting or that we want to learn more about. We should pursue those things with enthusiasm just because it's what we want to do.

[@worldslargestnerd]

I wonder if anyone has ever looked through the data to see if there was a marked increase in the number of professionals/college graduates working in fields that Mythbusters would highlight, say STEM related or what have you.

[@zoddmark5873]

It's really fun to see people like Gavin and Nerdforge guest appear in the shop because you can see the conflict on their faces of wanting to fanboy and fangirl, but also want to come off as being professional and it's really cute 😄

[@tested]

We absolutely love having our colleagues and new friends over as well.

[@cchapman7478]

I 100% agree on this! And as fantastic as each channel is, the sum of their parts is greater than the whole...

This has my vote. I think Adam would have a blast playing Kentucky Roulette ​@@captainnerd6452

If you go watch gavys video on slowmo2 you will see adam light up in the opening when gavin talks about mythbusters and what it was to him. I love seeing it goes both ways.

[@mpbx3003]

There is genuinely nothing I love more than two people with expertise in a subject speak at length about their specialist subject[s], so this is delightful. Seeing exactly how much Gav and Adam have learned in their years of working is inspiring, too. They're not just entertainers, but actual experts.

[@kylaina]

I must admit when Jamie slapped Adam years ago on Mythbusters, it was funny. Now, part of my brain is screaming, “be careful, you’re going to hurt him!”

[@tested]

Aw. So sweet!

[@nizzurtmontalgizzert6462]

Now that I think about it, I would much rather "have to" watch someone slap Jaimie than Adam.

@@nizzurtmontalgizzert6462 The mustache movement would be awesome

[@makesthingsxyz]

I enjoy watching the amazing builds Adam has made, and watching his process. But I think this solidifies for me that his interviews are the best. Just seeing someone who has had such a wide range of wild experiences (often involved in the process with some contraption or another) lovingly geek out with an expert in a particular field, and get into both the technical detail of how a thing works, and the personal detail of how an expert found the field and developed their craft, is just so uplifting and encouraging. When it is hard to feel good about the world, seeing Adam's boundless enthusiasm and love for the human experience as a whole, never ceases to comfort me.

[@tested]

Lovely comment - thanks so much

We agree!

[@soulreapermagnum]

@@tested mythbusters 2.0 with gav, dan, and adam as hosts?

[@The_Keeper]

Agreed. I'd py good money for something like that. Myths might not be the best thing though (they ended the show because they had basically "done it all".) but just Adam, Gavin, and Dan working together on something and filming for no other eason than they find it interesting, or simply just for "shits & giggles"... That'd be a kickstarter I'd back for sure.

[@FellerofTrees]

I love watching all of the KZbin nerds meet Adam. Most people don't expect to meet their childhood heroes and even fewer can expect them to actually be same the person you grew up admiring. Thanks for what you do for the nerd community Adam. You're one of the greats.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

2 of my favorite creators. Tested and the Slow Mo Guys helped me through the beginnings of the pandemic, my early retirement, and my deep dive into KZbin.

[@chellnz]

Its always interesting to watch Gav (and Dan) go from fun guys to ultra professional and back again. In those professional moments their whole posture and voice changes and you know that now is not the time to mess around.

[@blackbearnh]

Same as with Mythbusters, it's all fun and games until the firearms or high explosives come out, and then it's all business. If you ever watch Cletus McFarland, his persona doing s**t with cars and how he acts as a pilot are two very different things.

[@TehFrenchy29]

Particularly given the flip isn't just "okay we're going to shoot the thing now it's serious time" and then minutes of being more professional before the moment and then winding down to relaxed again -- it's laughing and goofing and being silly until maybe a few seconds prior to the real thing is done fully serious and an immediate return to goofs the second it's clear everyone's okay and nothing has gone wrong. Joking asides to camera one second, the thing they're there to film next second, confirming Adam's alright second 3, back to joking and laughing by the time 5 total seconds have passed.

[@Dreamspade1]

@@blackbearnh Hell Yeah Brother! I like your comparison! It is the old: 'AH/RT Gav Vs SMG Gav' difference and so very true about Cleetus - always messing around on the ground - always serious in the sky! Although; the new car's setups are getting very serious and it seems Cleet and crew are being more appropriate in that regard now as well! :)

Legendary collaboration 🙌

[@ElMoonLite]

There is something truly magical about having two grown man giggle like little schoolgirls, as they embark on something so incredibly silly yet satisfying, and probably also giggling in star struck but mutual respect and awe and friendship to each other as the realization sinks in what they are about to do to each other, and yes I think Adam is very conscious of the mental agony Gav has to go through to slap him, as proven by the immediate and heartfelt hug right after. And that was just the emotional magic. The high detail perfectly set and lighted and all that end result is absolutely magical to watch, take in, and makes you wonder at details like how momentum and energy is passed on from the hand and seems to magically send water drops flying off at an incredible rate. And you see something else to wonder about or just enjoy every time you watch it again. Absolute magic. Thanks for having so much fun together.

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

I can't get enough of these and I'm so happy for Gav since he's told us how much an inspiration Mythbusters was... Genuinely, I think Adam is one of the few exceptions to _"Never Meet Your Heroes"._ You definitely want to meet this hero! 🥰 _edit: haha So this _*_one time,_*_ I managed to get the watching process wrong and should've watched Gav's first! Usually Adam's (Tested's) video lays the groundwork, sets the stage, and does the test/execution; Gav's then is the filming and footage review... NOT HERE!_ 🥴 _His vid immediately starts out saying exactly what my comment does... (and also perfectly set this vid up by mentioning the iconic MB's slap)_ 🤦‍♂️😅
