That ball drop is just magic... Couldn't be more perfect!

Jamie: “ I’m all oiled up and ready to go “ not a sentence I thought I’d be hearing today

[@espenstoro]

A sentence you generally hear under slightly different circumstances.... if at all.

[@kemaniyoung725]

I said “Ayoo”🤣🤣

[@binhho2532]

I remember this one, it helped me got a good grade on a physic test a week after. They were basically my science teachers back then!

[@mrroboshadow]

Which particular myth?

[@buttznstuff6510]

You remember the exact grade you got?

[@ryancairns2099]

Thank goodness it wasn't an English test.

[@binhho2532]

@@mrroboshadow it's the first law of Newton. I know this doesn't prove the first law. But my dumb ass back then thought it was, and it he;ped me to visualize it.

[@JayMaverick]

Sorry you were let down by the education system.

[@BassFlapper]

Jamie really looks like he's in his element designing death traps launched from cars. Honestly should have gotten his own show doing that!

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

In a different timeline he became a supervillain taking over the world with his mad scientist inventions.

[@antonioscendrategattico2302]

Damn, Jamie's devices are literally miniature anti-tank barricades. Man's hardcore.

[@KamikazeDigital]

They retested the caltrops with hollow tubes in the later seasons and they blew out the tires in like 5 seconds flat.

[@antonioscendrategattico2302]

@@KamikazeDigital That makes sense, like they said the problem with the caltrops was that they plugged the hole they made. What episode did they re-test them? Cause I don't remember it. Was it the reboot wiht the new hosts or were Adam and Jamie still there?

[@borntoclimb7116]

Spy car myths are awesome.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

The kind of stuff where I so wish we had a Mythbusters + Top Gear crossover. Both had multiple occasions where they added all kinds of gadgets to cars, with varying effect.

[@dolby8551]

Jamie is oiled up

[@disguisedmango1105]

I thought about clipping that for a soundboard

[@mrorigen]

And ready to go too 😈 🥵

[@Pitgrindable]

How the hell did they ever think dropping Tory from a treadmill from a moving car was a good idea?

[@fanghur]

I highly doubt they actually did. I’m pretty sure that segment was purely just for the lulz.

[@veryblocky]

@@fanghurJamie did a Q&A about things he wishes he could’ve done, and he spoke about this one. He, very seriously, said “I want to be the ball”, but the insurers wouldn’t allow it

[@wingerding]

They like hurting him it seems

[@mncdssctn9110]

Just because it’s a bad idea doesn’t mean it won’t be a good time.

[@ShockingPikachu]

Was probably just really cheap lol

[@wingerding]

​@@ShockingPikachu undoubtedly...

[@bethaapple2102]

Ball drop was legendary footage. It’s basically played everywhere’s

[@Matthew-h6e]

If the caltrops were made of hollow tubing, then they eould be effective. I'm not sure sbout modern police spikebelts, but when they were first were developed, the spikes were hollow to that they would punch out small circles of rubber. This was to prevent a devestating blowout, but presumably also to ensure thay the tires would flatten quickly.

[@somedude3443]

They actually retested the myth doing just that. Spoiler warning: it worked

[@4Curses]

About the tacks, couldn't you simply make ones that empty a tire quicker? Like making them from tubes to allow the air to flow out faster once the tire is punctured?

[@wingerding]

Of course.

[@giwake]

IIRC they did cover that in another episode and it worked rather well!

[@blankfrankie3747]

Absolutely. Proper caltrops are hollow for that exact reason.

[@FrostMonolith]

@@giwake Do you remember which season and episode it is? I'm interested too.

[@junrenong8576]

Proper spike strips that are used by the law enforcement are actually hollow, to allow air to flow out of the wheel at a controlled rate. Also to prevent sudden burst of the wheel and create a massive accident.

[@sagrud]

Maybe hollow roadspikes/tacks made from some small, robust tubing would help to deflate the tires

[@ERMediaOfficial]

I got a Robert Lee in my left ear XD

[@ShockingPikachu]

Weird how mixing for TV changes stuff huh

[@georgekostaras]

I love when Jamie's car fills with smoke and he has a close shave

[@TooMuchCarbs]

my left ear feels all the love

[@wingerding]

Can you not switch to mono rather than stereo?

[@TooMuchCarbs]

@@wingerding ill try

[@telefonbarmann4514]

But strangely enough its only the narrators VO that is on the left channel alone. The normal footage is fine. I think something went wrong in the encoding.

[@MrMarinus18]

24:10 One thing with air cannons is that they work on psi so the size of the valve is just as important as the pressure in the tank. A large valve can give a massive amount of power even with very little pressure. The famous nitrogen cannon actually was only as powerful as the chicken gun as it needed to be small enough to fit into a car. Therefore to get enough power the pressure had to be huge.

[@Grand-Massive]

You could make the spikes out of steel tubing instead of solid steel so the air can bleed out

[@zhabiboss]

Needle, you mean needle

[@zsoltbartus169]

Wasn't there an ep when they (probably Jamie) did indeed made hollow tacks?

[@SuperUltimateLP]

yes!

[@grahamnombit3024]

The caltrops would have worked if thet were holow

[@codeyourlife8714]

43:29 anyone know the name of this banjo tune? KZbinrs use it a lot.

[@yuzeles]

just modify the road spikes to have 4 sides with tiny cut off or sanded straights to let the air faster

[@ztyy8185]

I got angry that Tory was selected to be thrown at first. Good that safety guys stopped that.

[@acmelka]

The caltrops just needed to be hallow. Just litte metal tubee, air would come out of the tire near instantly. Police use the solid ones like Myth busters for the express purpose of not causing blow outs and rapid deflation which will cause a crash.

[@connorriddell6764]

roadspike tacks are like hypodermic needles with holes to let the air out id be interested to see how the test went if they used those

[@mato219]

The spikes should be considered plausible in an ideal scenario

[@them0leisback]

29:38 was unexpected XD

[@Megoover]

I really thought the whole time this was the real Jamie

[@MarakamiSG]

The timing with the insurance company is too comedic to be true

[@The-Zer0th-Law]

I wonder if with the road spikes the use of hollow spikes would have drained the air faster.

[@Mindinvasion]

in a later episode they do that and it works instantly

[@The-Zer0th-Law]

@@Mindinvasion Well, my suspicions confirmed, I'm satisfied. Thanks.

[@MrEsphoenix]

@@Mindinvasion Don't suppose you know which episode that is, so I can watch it? No problem if not.

[@Mindinvasion]

@@MrEsphoenix Its one of the revisited ones where fans said they did stuff wrong, Ill try to look it up.

[@Mindinvasion]

@@MrEsphoenix 234 12 "Unfinished Business"[39] August 22, 2015 255 Myths tested: Can a video game that simulates a skill lead to real-world improvement in that skill? Are hollow road spikes more effective in stopping a car than solid ones? Is it difficult to hold on to a live grenade once the pin is pulled? Can you fire and reload a pistol as quickly as in a Hollywood action movie?

[@Joey_Shepard]

There are hollow versions of these spikes available that drain the tires in no time

[@Lagbeard]

The Spiketacks technically work, but realistically don't... They plug the hole and so the air gets out too slow, and the car's weight completely flattens them so they can't even add extra bumps on the tires to mess with turning.

[@TheDb884]

They revisited this myth in later episodes, and made the tacks from hollow tubes rather than solid steel. The hollow spikes were much more effective at quickly deflating tyres.

[@mrorigen]

The narrator is like a little bee in my ear

make the tacks more effective by making them out of stainless tubing.

[@jessebarbier1661]

Real plugs are hollow letting the air out

[@ShockingPikachu]

The fact the insurers were okay with everything else Tory has done but not that is really funny

[@wingerding]

Makes me wonder how many times they would have tried to stop him but couldn't make the phone call on time.

[@ShockingPikachu]

@@wingerding FR tho like a 10 mph drop (technically 0 because physics) is quite literally one of the least dangerous things he would have done. How many times were phones turned off lol

[@wingerding]

Surely vegetable oil was the least effective oil they could have used.

[@MichaelKingsfordGray]

Car speedos under-read, by law! Also: the caltrops are usually hollow.

[@jarrodbright5231]

While the caltrops are hollow they quickly create a flat tyre not a tyre blowout. They make a car perform worse, not instantly take them out of action (with an experienced driver anyway)

Too bad they locked the narrator behind bulletproof glass.

[@harlyquin]

41:28 I'm guessing this was before GPS was invented

[@suicidalbanananana]

Ehhhhhhhm no? 🤣 Do you think when GPS was invented it came with 1000's of satellites magically popping into existence in orbit? all up to current day precision standards? 🤔😉It has taken several decades (~5) to get to a point where a GPS speedometer is actually (somewhat) viable. And even today a professional GPS speedometer isn't going to give you better data then a laser timing the actual wheel 😂 Thanks for the chuckle & not meaning to be rude here or anything, just thought your conclusion is pretty funny, have a good day champ 👍😁

[@uknownhero2764]

Fast... and in their budget.

[@TrackLab]

Why is the narrator in the left ear all the time? Almost all episodes have this problem.

[@Archer690Channel]

they didnt expected people to listen with headphones so on the tv it wasn't a big deal and usually mono microphones are on the left side but then centered, the microphone probably didnt do this automatically and they forgot to do it manually

[@Peak_Aussieman]

There's probably a whole bunch of episodes from back in the day I never watched and I think this might be one of them. I remember watching this show as a kid.

[@Ryan_the_dawg]

That whole insurance thing seemed a bit scripted especially considering all the other silly shit they are allowed to do lol it seems a bit suss

[@bigfan10-gaming79]

From what I understand the Build Teams Health Insurance Meant the only one allowed to do the Rough Stuff was Tori considering all the danger he get's into

half the myths felt like they already did the maths but just want to do the experiment like they didn't already did teh maths just for good television 🤣 the only time the fall time would be different would be if the object can generate some sort of lift when moving through the air like wings

[@wingerding]

Tory got saved by the bell and thank goodness. That would have been brutal...

[@JAKOB1977]

Wicked to see how much this show got neutered down over the years.. and its always these "make believe lies" look everybody , we really wanted to do it, but in the last second our insurance called and said, no way but one aspect that really nailed it for me, and just got cringeworthy for the last handful of years, were the reactions from Tori, Grant, Kari. that often were so fake & corny, overdramatic acting, and I know they likely dont do it on purpose, and perhaps down to some producer pushing them "to act excited" in the way to elevate the effect.

[@exasperated]

The B Team are my absolute least favourite part of the whole thing. And yeah, I don't think they're the gawking morons they appear to be - It's got to be the poduction team pushing for them to act that way.

[@arnostmatejka]

Spikes which they are using is wrong, you need to have them hollow, this way when they go to tyre it deflate it nearly instantly, not plugging the hole which it made. Plus for oil, it should sprinkle not just dump it, it would cover more space at track thus the car behind will for sure in that curve go out like on ice.

[@charleediaven6278]

Testing the smoke grenades and bombs is silly. I mean that is what they were designed to do. In quantity you can land choppers, and tanks. LOL.

[@gathorall9136]

I think that it was more about whether they are reasonably deployable at speed. as shown, there are some considerations using them attached to your car. There is also the fact that smoke grenades are grenades, if you are able to get masses of weapons trough customs or to wherever you are spying keep it simple and replace the puppies jamie is throwing with hand grenades.multi use and I guarantee that even if you do not hit only an insane pursuer will just continue. In that respect I think the oil was the most promising as spy gear. Simple, easily conceable rig can be loaded and reloaded cheaply without suspicion almost anywhere. It could not quite cut it regular driver escapee against world class specialist. But that skill gap is very unrealistic, and the chaser is prepared.

[@Matthew-h6e]

Adam has always been a sore loser.

[@Tuberesu]

No they do not share thirty year's experience if they have worked the same number of years and that number adds up to thirty they SHARE fifteen years of experience. If I spent twenty years in my profession and met someone who had the same number of years, it would not give me forty year's experience, we would share twenty years!

[@breel75]

Thats only if they had the same level of experience. Which I'm pretty sure isn't the case here. Adam only had 10 years or so at the point Mythbusters started, while Jamie owned the special effects shop the show was filmed in. So Shared 30 Years is correct.
