it's funny how it takes being strapped to a moving car roof and flung around to bring jamie to the energy level of a normal person

[@satanswolf]

Watching these old episodes, especially the revisited myths, made me think that no matter how scientific and bullet proof the experiments were conducted, if the myth was busted there was going to be some viewers pointing the finger screaming "Gno you got it all wrong"

[@furistasTedis]

Always that one isn’t it 😂

[@SKAPT80082]

Jamie being able to hold over 300lbs is actually quite impressive, he couldve been a great armwrestler

[@grahamsong4585]

He mentioned casually he can deadlift 450pounds..... That's not easy either

[@HeavyMetalorRockfan9]

@@grahamsong4585 i had to rewind when i heard that, thats crazy

[@zachj7676]

That sounds like it could be another story about Jamie’s mysterious past. “Yeah I was actually a professional arm wrestler back when I was 23”

[@gabrielv.4358]

Agreed

[@furistasTedis]

Well, Jammie body looks that he was doing some crazy stuff when he was young. And if you all remember Alaska cabin fever, Adam went sleeping while Jammie was exercising, so it is a little give away that he might’ve been doing some exercising before :)

[@ephemeralstardom]

this is one of my favorite myths, the strapped on top of a car one. the rig is so technical and fun (and hot pink!). jamie looks like he's just having a good time really. watching him slamming into the rig on that hard brake made my jaw drop as a kid.

[@frizzlethecat2084]

For the next time I go clinging to a car-roof, I'll definitely choose a car with a roof-rail. (which my car has, so clingers are welcome to try it)

[@tristindurocher-batley4780]

Considering how long it takes to flow through one prison bar you’re better off getting out for good behaviour in the time it take to floss your way to freedom and that’s provided no one notices you flossing one Bar in half

[@Azzameen99AZ]

Wouldn't fly in the car wash in my town. For one, the car is stationary. You park it, get out, activate the car wash program from the outside, wait until you can drive it out. And even with the car washes that pull your car through like in this episode, there's a brush roll cleaning the top of the car that would run over you. Plus the dryer moves over the contours of the car, blasting hot air and being a general risk of sqishing a finger or a limb.

[@Sareth94]

both the roller and the dryer work by using distance sensors scanning the contour of the car - including the person on top. Otherwise they'd constantly crash into differently shaped cars. It's unpleasant as hell for sure, but you're not getting decapitated by the traverse of the dryer. More likely getting flayed by the brush...

[@furistasTedis]

@@Sareth94you mean fluffed by the brushes ?😂😂😂😂

[@tally_]

At 28:35 I lost it. Why did the narrator say "no no no" like that?

[@Shakes-Off-Fear]

What are you talking about? He didn’t say ‘no no no’

[@tally_]

@@Shakes-Off-Fear My mistake, it is actually at 28:35 . I typed it wrong

[@gummansgubbe6225]

LOL We say it like that here in Norway as well. "It is so obvious that this is stupid and we should stop, but no, no, no...". Mostly to people you know and in a funny setting.

[@mrheisenberg83]

You know the blast shields are not necessary for a test when the camera men just don't bother hiding behind it. Funny, when you spot it.

[@mobiusZero2]

The first appearance of the myth cannon. After the accident, I think it was scrap for safety and gain the community trust back

[@dawnmcauley6411]

"Flossing Robot" hits different in 2024.

[@charangohabsburg1]

Where in this carwash ist the horizontal rotating brush that goes over the top of the car?

[@gabrielv.4358]

THe car wash was hilarious

[@juankfuentesr]

Fixed the audio? 😅

[@lunatic-unicorn]

Only for this episode. The next three have f@#% up audio again 😅

[@ToTheGAMES]

Woo, good audio!~

[@abe-danger]

woo! stereo! :D

[@n0bl3hunt3r]

I think you can see the muzzle lift when they rip buster’s leg off

[@MadHax-wt5tl]

Well that ball and chain one worked on the Goodies, and that show was totally based in reality.....!?

[@danielk9316]

using a cannon to launche the ball chained to the own foot sounds so ridiculously dumb :'D who invented this myth?

[@gosie-z]

Cartoon myth probably?

[@minimumwage2169]

Bars? Flossible

[@MYwinters1945]

Is this the same cannon that shoot into the house later?

[@dyingspark4668]

You could break the windows open 🤷‍♂️

[@gredausvemiru6236]

Might be very hard, car windows are pretty remarkable

[@gabrielv.4358]

@@gredausvemiru6236 AND there's also the risk of at the first 5 seconds he turns and you are off

[@bng0072]

They are trying hard in this episode to hide Kari’s pregnancy

[@haroldcruz8550]

I think it's more for Kari's privacy than anything. There's nothing wrong with a woman being pregnant.

[@gabrielv.4358]

lololo
