I love Jamie's giggle at 5:53.

[@zsoltbartus169]

"I'm not sure what but something tells me there is a problem with that." I love Jamie's dry deadpan humour! 😂

[@jojolafrite90]

What Mythbusters tells us is that getting the perfect conditions so an explosion or other disaster occurs is hard, like getting the right mix of a given products like oxygen and gasoline in a given volume. But entropy and big numbers will make so that after a while, it always happens somewhere that perfect conditions for catastrophe occur and disaster always happens in a completely unforeseen manner. Like the well known explosions caused by wood dust, for example.

27:28 lol bulls just see the world with 90s nostalgia vision

I completely missed 90% of the adult jokes when I was watching this as a child lol

[@bazzacorps]

Same

[@thrillerdill]

I guess that’s why they call them ‘adult’ jokes

[@rollingmetal949]

I can admit that Kari has been one of my longest time celeb crushes. Starting to watch in my early teens

[@Damaged7]

In my early teens when Kari did the FHM magazine shoot... wow, such a gift lol.

[@scottrichard342]

Yup

[@ignaciomercadovillagra9119]

Early 2000's TV was something else, the best even

[@Yvolve]

The worst thing to throw into a fire is a jeu de boule/petanque ball. They're concrete cores with a metal layer cast on top. It is essentially a perfectly sealed pressure vessel with the shear lines already cut in. The concrete, and the remaining water, heats up until the metal skin can't take the pressure and it explodes like a frag grenade. In the Netherlands, this killed someone last summer. Someone had thrown one of those balls into a fire, it exploded and a chunk hit a guy in the head. He died on the spot.

[@GOAT_GOATERSON]

Wtf? Serieus? Duurt het niet super lang voordat een jeu de boules bal opwarmt? Heb je een linkje? Ben nu wel nieuwsgierig

[@Yvolve]

@@GOAT_GOATERSON YT laat geen links toe, maar als je op "jeu de boules bal dodelijk ongeluk" zoekt vind je meerdere artikelen. Het was in een vuurkorf gegooid, dus mensen zaten er langere tijd omheen. Een beetje volle vuurkorf wordt heel heet in het midden, als de bal daar terecht komt kan het snel gaan. Het grootste probleem zijn de groeven die het nummer aangeven. Perfecte plek voor het metaal om te scheuren en te fragmenteren. Net als een handgranaat, maar dan gevuld met beton. Het zal niet altijd gebeuren, maar het risico is groot genoeg om het vooral niet te doen. Zelfde met stenen in het vuur gooien. Die kunnen ook veel water bevatten en uit elkaar klappen. Gebeurt niet vaak, maar als het gebeurt heb je echt een probleem. Niet alleen de steen vliegt in het rond, maar ook brandende stukken hout. Het beste is niks dan brandhout in een vuur te gooien, komt alleen maar ellende van.

[@Kiki-cs8xv]

Our neighbors once made the mistake of burning some household garbage in their backyard. An aerosol can shot up out of the fire, hit a tree by their house and ended up setting the house on fire. Stupid games = stupid prizes.

[@borntoclimb7116]

The red flag bull test was pretty interesting. I remember see this Episode years ago in tv and i was happy because a question i have since my childhood got a answer.

[@kuunib7325]

Only in the U.S. would people store guns and ammo in an oven and then turn it on.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

I would expect people to store the gun with the barrel towards the back of the oven. Not for safety reasons, someone putting it in the oven clearly doesn't care about that. But just for ease of access.

[@calumhughes2778]

Can’t believe they went with “Dr FrankenGrant” instead of “Dr Grantenstein”

[@ichiroutakashima4503]

5:30 Moments like this are why I love Mythbusters. They may not get along with each other but they make a very good show.

[@salland12]

This is the first scene that came to my mind when i clicked on this episode.

[@Brinta3]

I think their arguments were always in the preparation of tests, when they couldn’t agree what to build or how to build it. They seemed to have genuine fun together while executing the tests.

[@GOAT_GOATERSON]

From what I've heard they could get along fine when they were working but nothing more than that, they were just colleagues

[@norbertszekeres867]

Adam has a yt channel, and he said it was great to work with Jamie, they had disagrements , but who doesn't, they respect each other.

[@mrheisenberg83]

This rumor that they did not get along needs to die already. They just were not friends but colleagues. They obviously got along.

[@Hammermongo]

people storing ammo and guns in a stove are one of the many reasons why people should have to do an IQ test before being allowed to buy a gun XD

Episodes like this one always make me wonder how much is Tory's insurance policy.

[@cezarcatalin1406]

Tory intimidated the bull with his sigma male aura.

[@KassNotInTheTrash]

Ah yes bull myths, my favorite type of myth

[@SNN95]

Aerosol can maybe not that dangerous, but not the one insect killing type, mostly for cockroach or mosquito. My uncle died one day after got blast by the burried insect killing can while he was burning the garden trash. He was burned and poisoned to death.

[@yrtracingteam106]

4:00 Adam slapping balistic friends never gets old! 😅 And how funny 39:40 styrofoam shelf’s cuz they don’t wanne hurt the bulls, but the glass and china.. porcelain shards..don’t matter 🤷🏻‍♂️😉

In Germany it's not a bull in a China shop... we put an elephant in there 😁

I've never seen those "Warning: Science Content!" bits before. I guess Discovery always cut them for time.

At 18:27 I'm pretty sure Jamie loaded that with the gun pointed at him.

And elephants would have issues just with their size alone.

Shortly after our wedding, I once spent an entire afternoon looking for the teapot and not finding it anywhere. When my wife came home I asked her where it was. She 'It's in the oven', with a look that added an unspoken 'of course'.

[@chidoritv284]

funny. we in germany say like a elephant in a chinashop

[@mentalpasient6823]

Me and some friends broke in to a construction site and took everything that had warning signs on it and lit a fire. The fire ball was the biggest iv seen and we ran home and watched police and firefigthers rush out.. nothing was on fire or damaged, we where stupid but not morons. And it was almost 30 years ago

[@allanshpeley4284]

"We were stupid but not morons" - I agree with the former, but beg to differ on the latter.

[@leckmich8169]

A big Salute to Grant Imahara🙏❤

[@TheMono25]

Well the bullet is heavier than the shell So it makes sense that the shell is going to go flying more than the bullet 😮

[@RundFyrkant]

07:00 sometimes i imagine Kari without clothes. can't help it

[@geoffcunningham6896]

my prob with the red flag to a bull is there testing conditions the saying comes from bull fighting and they fail to test the fact that the guy with the red flag inside the arena has been stabbing the bull with swords for the last hour putting on a show im pretty sure the bull isnt pissed at the red flag

on fire worst is glass bottle my dog had one explode and sever part her leg

or... check with big animal vets to see if Bulls can even see the color red? Cuz uh... news flash? They are colorblind, and in fact, red specifically is a color they can't see.

[@themoonsevilsister1561]

using Grant for the ballistics jell model hasn't aged well (rest in peace)

[@DragonbIaze052]

Grant agreed to be the ballistic gel head. He agreed to it enough that he sat still for like an hour while unable to move nor speak. Unless the myth being tested is about an aneurysm, there's absolutely nothing about the ballistics gel head being his that could possibly age poorly. It's a reminder of his love for what he did more than anything.

[@themoonsevilsister1561]

@@DragonbIaze052 I know it wasn't actually any disrespect to him, quite the opposite, I just think it's an interesting coincidence looking back on it now
