The promo/bumper at the end here reminded me: We haven't seen Spot in a while. Does Tested still have it, and are we going to get any more content with it in the future?

[@theCidisIn]

I'd love to hear a story about how you guys ended up in Washington DC... at what was it? A really for science and a return to civility or something like that? I remember having so much hope at that time. I graduated in 06, so 08 was my first presidential election. I had no idea you guys were gonna be there, doing what? What else... Using the massive crowd to collect data 😂

[@Furiends]

14:20 I feel like with the Jamie story it might be missed that Jamie was agreeing with the *experience* of having science win out which required Jamie to fight for actually building and testing the pneumatics. That is to say to settle the disagreement with APPLIED science. It's like if you're going to have a duel it might be settled the one with obviously superior skill is going to win but the challenge is still there and the science should be carried through. Put another way it might be more the reaction of arguing rather than just going straight to testing that he was disillusioned about.

[@ericsynchrona5495]

I feel like Grant Imahara overdosed on fentanyl and he pulled a Bo Biden when they just covered it up with a 'brain disease' because he's like too big to fail. Am I reading that right?

[@DaniMartVtbr]

Hi Adam, If you or Mythbusters ever get the chance to revisit the bridge, I have a simple suggestion. Take one of those military-grade modular bridge kits, connect them to a point-a and a point-b over any terrain, the point being to see movement of the bridge ends from their original starting positions. It's like putting an electric toothbrush turned to on upon a table. It moves around because of vibration, so why couldn't a small build-anywhere bridge?

[@johnk4608]

RIP Grant. You are dearly missed.

[@ewoodley82]

Grant was great people, and no one will ever convince me otherwise. You can always tell the quality of the person by the stories told after they pass.

[@danielland3767]

I am sad that people in the general public don't care he passed, they miss all the sports and celebrities but not people who really changed this world. Him and Shad Gaspar from the WWE tag team Cryme Tyme are the two most important deaths that hurt me in 2020

[@paulvamos7319]

I had forgotten about it too, 😂 he really is kinda immortal though! ❤😎👍

[@tomsier3051]

I love how Adam lights up whenever Adam gets a chance to remenisce/ reflect on Grant. Seems like it instantly brings him to his happy space. That must be the best legacy to leave behind, when your loved ones immediately feel better just remembering you.

[@StaffordMagnus]

Lights up? Pretty sure he was trying not to choke up.

[@photovincent]

@@StaffordMagnusYes, that too. But those are not mutually exclusive

[@OyvindBjorgo]

I agree with both of you, and I'm pretty sure the fluttering between those emotions is one of the best indicators of how much Adam cared for Grant. I miss that guy, but I love all of the stories.

[@brinnspencer]

This is it. This is the comment that got me.

[@JR-ii4lq]

We don't often recall and reminisce about our loved ones like this when they're still around.

[@mooncaketin]

The image of N'Sync fanboying over Grant fills me with absolute delight 😊

[@EpictheEpicest]

It was always amusing when you and Jamie built a robot to test a myth and if it failed, Grant would come in and re-engineer the whole thing and it would work.

[@gfixler]

I stood in line to meet Jaime, Adam, and Grant at Maker Faire, 2006. I just missed Adam, because he had to take Thing 1 or 2 to the bathroom. Jaime stared gruffly at me as I approached for my photo, and gave me a small nod, but Grant came right up to me, looked me in the eyes so kindly, shook my hand, asked my name - Gary - and said "It's really nice to meet you, Gary!" He said it so warmly and meaningfully that I was a little surprised. He made it seem like he was meeting someone special, instead of the other way around, and I was probably 30+ people back in line, so he'd already been through this dozens of times, and kept up the caring energy the whole time, and I'm sure he'd already been through years of that. Such a good dude.

[@Neopopulas]

I know 'celebrities' do this for a job, and its their JOB to be nice to you and make you feel seen and appreciated when you meet them, but some of them are SO good at it and even if it is their job they seem to genuinely enjoy meeting their fans. I've met a few celebrities like that in the past, and some who were absolutely kinda done with the whole day by then, but when you meet someone you really admire and they seem happy to meet you, it means so much, i don't care why they do it.

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

@@Neopopulas I'm a Z-list local celeb (musician) in my area, so I deal with a fraction of that at shows. To add to what you said, the way I see it, being cordial and friendly with people (almost overly as the OP mentioned) is just part of the performance. That's not to say it's not genuine, because it is. There's 2 things I do, get the person talking about themselves, and then pretend I've known them my entire life. They're a fan of you already, so you're probably pre-disposed to getting along just fine. Then it's easy as can be. Treat them like a friend of yours.

[@YukonWilleh]

Robin Williams and Woody Harrelson stayed at a hotel I worked at when I was 16. I was the resident potthead so when they came in to meet the cooks, Robyn and Woody met me and both asked where to get some. so at the end of my shift I'm out-side smoking a few joints with them and the (most lol) of the staff. Everyone goes back in except me and Robyn and he was still at 110% with just us 2. I just put my hand on his shoulder and said "I watched Alladin probably 1000 times as a kid, you've entertained me enough, relax bud" and I had never heard a sigh like that in my life. we stood there in the alley and we smoked the joint while I did my best to tell him crazy north stories and entertain him. your grant story sorta reminded me of this , definite different set of circumstances, but a similar trait causing it I do believe

[@dabearcub]

That’s a great story. Dude had a real gift for kindness. Something I lack.

[@themightymutt5213]

The way he presented himself on camera, the energy and charisma he always seemed to have, I can absolutely see that as being him all the time. He seemed like such a great guy to be around. The fact that Adam still gets choked up thinking about him really says a lot

That little choke every time Adam reminisces about Grant always gets me, it shows how dear he was to him. Also, talking about a vicious argument with Jamie but not taking the opportunity to throw shade or disrespect shows Adam's character. Their relationship always fascinates me.

[@InsideOfMyOwnMind]

Jamie, a little bit on the spectrum? I'm not educated enough about it to know when somebody's marginally on the spectrum so I wouldn't have known but Adam handled it with I guess about as much grace as one can.

[@ciaheadmechanic0809]

Growing up it was so great to see Grant Imahara, a fellow Asian, on TV using his technical prowess and having so much fun working and Mythbusting with all of you. Definitely helped me solidify my own career path. Now, as a more-or-less fully-realized mechanical engineer, I look back and appreciate his representation all the more.

My Grant story. I was walking to get coffee in the Mission of San Francisco. Grant was walking towards me on the sidewalk. He was with a group of friends. I didn't immediately recognized but I knew he looked familiar. I was racking my brain trying to figure out how I knew him. He must have saw me looking a bit confused. He gave me this huge smile and a nod that communicated, "Yeah, I'm Grant"

[@theothertonydutch]

Pretty grand.

A true gentleman and passionate person, what you see is what you get. Always takes time to make the fans feel special. Wish I could have met Grant too, I think he would have been an amazing person to meet

[@Damann23]

I'm not one who gets broken up about celebrity deaths... I think everyone has different capacities for parasocial relationships... But Grant is the one that genuinely makes me sad when his name comes up. He seemed like such a good dude on every level, and everyone really seemed to love him. He left such a positive impression on the world and I hope I can leave the same positivity in my wake when I leave. You're dearly missed, Grant.

[@Replicant2600]

Grant and Kari were walk through DIA airport, some one was like “yo, myth busters!”. I look up, see Grant and Kari. I asked them if they could say Hi to my daughter who is into science and totally idolize you two. They were so awesome and nice and said “Hi Ariel, it’s Grant and Kari, glad you’re a fan, keep doing science!” My daughter was blown away.

[@darkhoursofday6250]

[@keios]

"I was told his impression of me involves a lot of drumming on the table" I really believe you can tell when someone's deeply missed, because their friends will drop into present tense talking about them without thinking.

I vividly remember the day Grant Imahara’s death was announced and how horribly it hit me. A piece of my childhood as an Asian-American STEM-loving kid. I grew up to become a veterinarian. I cried like a baby watching this video today. Thank you, Adam, for sharing some more memories of one of my idols.

[@TheOptimuspringles]

I'm sorry for any grief or pain these stories bring up Adam. As someone who grew up watching Mythbusters, I really love hearing these stories of Grant Imahara.

[@sazking6106]

What is grief but love persevering? I think Adam would agree.

[@syth9]

My college (NMT) is closely tied with EMRTC and took part in helping blow up the cement mixer. I was so psyched when the school advertised the Mythbusters were going to visit our school for a presentation (I think it was at some point between 2011-2013). Like many of us I grew up on the show and was so pumped thinking we were going to see Adam and Jamie. However, shortly before doors opened I heard that it was actually Grant presenting solo… I honestly felt *bummed*. But it ended up being the best presentation by far that I would ever see at our school. I genuinely left that night being so grateful it was him, he blew us away with how cool he is as a person. His passion and accomplishments brought me so much inspiration in a time I really needed it. I’m bummed I’ll never see him in person again, but I cherish the little piece of my life where I did.

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

I can just imagine Jamie's slightly-dumbstruck expression, upon realizing what Adam had just mentally unpacked for him in that moment... 🤣 It was also probably the shock which prevented an apology, as well as undoubtedly a bit of him thinking an apology was _implied_ through his admission of that being what happened. 😊 And RIP Grant ❤ But, that was a great first story!

[@sendhelp444]

You and your wife are one of my favorite clients. Back in 2008. I helped you with color palettes for the exterior of your house, I remember you working on a pair of boots from the movie Alien, i was so blown away by all the cool stuff you had. We had a mutual friend who was a flight attendant and British Airways that got you into first class. He came to visit, and we got to spend part of the day at M5. We both still talk about that day. Really love this channel.

[@kmodo93]

"I heard Grants impression of me involved a lot of drumming on tables." Yeah, I'd say it would be pretty spot on because even I didn't realize how much you do that until you mentioned this.

[@WARnTEA]

When he drummed I didn’t even register that Adam was doing the impression for the first couple seconds.

[@CharlesRTinsley]

Rest in Peace, Grant. I just found out Grant is no longer with us. Grant inspired me even being in my 60's. I was always impressed with his intelligence, and since of humor, and just a good guy persona. I hope his legacy will carry forward to the STEM program founded by mom, and coworkers. The STEM students should be inspired by his example.

[@behnkarrlsun]

If you want to take a walk down memory lane, they auctioned off a bunch of stuff for the STEM organization made in Grant's honor. Adam shows off a bunch of it from props, to the blueprints, to busted cameras.

[@mandarazlim1677]

I'm tearing up in my office. But I'm glad. Years ago, crying while thinking about Grant meant devastation and disbelief and denial. Now I just... Miss all of the good he did. So so badly. This has helped tremendously.

[@KidarWolf]

It never gets old hearing you speak about Grant Imahara. The love and friendship, is always crystal clear in your voice when you speak about him. Your body language, facial expression, and your eyes in particular, change when you talk about him, and it really shows how deep a respect and friendship the two of you shared. You light up when you speak about him, and that speaks volumes about him - he is someone who sparked joy in you, and so many others, and it is magical to experience him vicariously, both through watching reruns of Mythbusters, and through hearing yourself and the rest of the Mythbusters team reminiscing about him

[@MaraBellJade]

You can hear in Adam's voice how much Grant meant to Adam, and how much of an amazing person he was.

I know nothing of Jamie other than what we have all seen, but one of my fav reactions from Jamie is when he gets nervous and gets that nervous laugh. You just know whatever they are building is producing something crazy.

[@suebob16]

It was so fun watching Jamie in the first Star Wars episode. I'm guessing he wasn't looking forward to physically doing it but probably didn't have much choice since Adam had an injured arm. It was hilarious when Jamie wore the Luke Skywalker costume. When actress Sophia Bush came out dressed as Princess Leia and sweetly asked Jamie to be her Luke, the bashful look on his face was incredible. It may have been the only time we saw him look like that. 😊

I saw Grant at Labyrinth of Jareth years ago, but I hadn’t watched Mythbusters in a while by then. I saw him participating in old timey line /ballroom dancing and he caught my attention because his face looked so familiar but I couldn’t place it. Turns out he caught on to my trying to place him (didnt realize I was staring 🤦🏽‍♀️) so when the lightbulb lit up, I must have made a face like 😮, because I saw him laughing at my reaction while trying to stay in step with the ballroom/line dancing. I laughed back so it was mutual laughter in acknowledgment. I didn’t approach because he was with friends and dancing, but one of my best memories ever. RIP Grant, you’re missed.

I recently started rewatching all the Mythbusters episodes on Max and couldn't wait to get to the Grant episodes. It was sad but rewarding seeing how much he added to an already satisfying program.

We need people like you in our lives Adam. Seriously there absolutely has to be balance. And you provide that balance. ❤

There is only two celebrities whose passing have ever affected me and Grant's was one of them. I grew up watching MythBusters and he was far and away my favorite cast member on the show. It was so inspiring watching the things he'd make and what he'd accomplish with just his brain and engineering skills. He was humble, and easy to like to boot. There is probably a whole generation of engineers who got their first inspiration as a kid watching him.

You could just feel his excitement and love of engineering through the screen everytime he was working on something. And his stuff nearly always worked so well. Such an awesome human.

Love this thank you Adam

Always smiling. He seem to go that extra mile. Not only a star on mythbusters just look up late at night he’s still shining light on us. Rip

Bringing smiles to people is truly noble work and you guys did it while educating us. Thank you. RIP Grant.

Thank you for the stories of Grant. I can't begin to imagine the impact he had on those who worked and lived around him. We were only able to see small moments on the show. I hope you have many more stories of Grant and would be willing to share those with us in the future. Thank you!

We all miss Grant. He was such a great guy and maker. He is sorely missed!

[@SharlzG]

I was fortunate to have met Grant when he was at a convention in Sydney that I was working at, and I remember that he was just such a sweet, lovely person.

I love these Grant stories. His kindness came through on TV.

[@sandravukovic2901]

I love how you celebrate Grant's life in such a wonderful way ❤

It's so wonderful that people have all these stories about Grant. The Backstreet Boys one is so funny! It makes me so happy that Matt created an NPC inspired by him in Critical Role. I love when the party gets to interact with him.

[@toddhazell925]

WOW, I love hearing these lovely stories of friends in our lives that have passed and how you remember him very fondly. They say that imitation is the better form of flattery or something like that. Grant, a brilliant person and great mind gone way to early. RIP Grant.

Never got to meet Grant but the stories about him are just amazing. The clips with Fon Davis are absolutely amazing and really bring a tear to the eye. So happy Grant was immortalized on Mythbusters. Most of us would’ve never known of him otherwise.

Grant is always missed. Jamie is someone who we didn't know we needed in our lives and since he has retreated he is also greatly missed. If he were still part of tested it would be great.

[@NocturnEternal]

Jamie has admitted he’s not the type who likes to be on camera. It makes me wonder if he’s a more “behind the scenes” type of person.

[@hawkgamedev]

wow I was just recently watching your channel and remembering the old days with Myth Busters and Grant. What a great person RIP!

[@ZeFroz3n0ne907]

I also loved his impression of Jamie as a walrus, that had me rolling. 😆

[@kriscerosaurus]

Grant was a true inspiration. Thanks for sharing these stories. ❤
