Good afternoon Adam and crew. I just had a funny thought, when was the last time you have calibrated your arm ?😊😢😊

[@tnwhitley]

I have and love that you’re out here talking about your life story especially MythBusters & still working on things. I love seeing your workshop. PS: It still hurts my heart thinking about losing Grant. He was such a great/smart/funny man. You had the best crew any show could've hoped for ever.

Adam, you _are_ "that guy from MythBusters". You always will be. That's both unavoidable and a good thing; MythBusters was the most important TV science show of this century. Oh, and "the funny-looking one" is also you. Jamie looks like a perfectly ordinary walrus.

[@TheNathanJasper]

Yeah I think maybe he doesn't realize what a big deal the show was. Because there's a big difference between "being that guy from Mythbusters," and being "That guy from Mad Men."

[@deezkhajiit184]

Ya I get people don't want to be typecast as a certain person, but the Mythbusters are singlehandedly responsible for inspiring a lot of kids to become engineers. From other interviews you can tell he's proud of it now, but at the time I could see being hesitant about being shoehorned into that role for his career.

[@JoshuaTootell]

I was just chatting with a friend the other day and I was making a reference to something about Adam, and she didn't get the reference. So I tried to remind her that he was on Mythbusters, and she didn't know what I was talking about. I found that interesting.

[@jubuttib]

Oof, I get what you mean, really I do, but calling it "the most important TV science show of this century" when there's still 75+ years of it left just seems wrong on a fundamental level... I struggle to imagine what could be more important, but still, there's way too much century left to say anything for certain. Absolutely the most important TV science show of the turn of the millennium and at least a few decades since.

[@aserta]

Every time i remember Grant, i get a smile. Fella had a special sight of our world. An amazing fellow.

[@dreambrother16]

That 2 or 3 second pause after Adam says the words "it's an origin story of respect" speaks volumes about their relationship. Over 4 years since Grant passed and talking about him can still have Adam fighting back tears. May we all be fortunate enough to forge such strong friendships.

You can't pass away to soon. There is no "normal" and "official" way we are supposed to die. The larger a species numbers gets the more ways to die there are. I get so tired of people telling themselves that sweet lie that someone died to soon. You can only die when and how you were always going to. We don't have a say in the matter. Life happens without us having any input. All the events in ones life only lead to our end.

One of my friends has a special needs son who loves Mythbusters and Grant in particular. They went to an event with Grant and his team(years ago, obviously), and Grant was incredibly kind and understanding of his special quirks. Grant's team was very accommodating, and went well out of their way, above and beyond, to make sure it was a special day for my friend's son. They didn't have to do that at all, it was purely because they wanted to make a little boy happy. Made a huge impact in that boy's life, and speaks to the kind of people Grant surrounded himself with. Grant, you're missed.

The look in Adam's eyes when he started to recall the Grant story made me teary-eyed 😢 you can tell how special their relationship was, and for me, just as a fan and viewer, I have such fond memories of Grant on the show, interacting with Adam. He was amazing.

[@saywhatnz]

When 'Zoob' first came out, I was the primary toy-tester and reviewer for their NZ importer. The Zoob toys helped me to reconnect with my Aspie sons and also really lit-up my Inner Engineer as I looked at all the little details that came together to make such an awesome 'construction toy'. I never knew you had a hand in it, but hearing that you did was no big surprise after seeing all the crazy but amazing contractions you and the MB team built. I want to say THANK YOU for creating such an amazing 'toy' - it literally helped me to save my relationship with my sons.

[@noitallmanaz]

I think most actors/talent would give anything to be "the guy from that show" because it means you actually did something that lots of people liked.

[@Alfonso162008]

Being known as "that guy from that show" is a form of typecasting, which is something I think most actors don't like. If time goes by, and you're still "that guy from that show", it usually means that you couldn't advance with your career, that you got stuck (of course, I'm talking about an acting career, I can't extrapolate that reasoning to other artistic endeavours)

[@ThatWhichObserves]

@@Alfonso162008 From an external side, 'That guy from that show' is usually an endearing point of reference to some degree.. I know Tori especially did other work, particularly notable is 'The explosion show' though I don't recall a considerable amount of it. In a sense I can understand the 'This is my magnum opus, and that saddens me' mindset because it being a 'peak' of one's career. At the same time I had a hard time remembering the name of the explosion show. I still however remembered that Tori was a co-host for it.. It's imminent downturn was not a result of Tori, but of the show and the show runners to some degree. Mythbusters at this point is so engrained that it's hard to not use it as a point of reference.

[@andreaskeltwolfe6176]

@@ThatWhichObserves its also different from saying something like "the guy from fresh prince of belair" thats just entertainment. the crew of the mythbusters actually inspired people and set some people on a course that would change their life and the world forever an entire generation of engineers and scientists was born from this show. and thats a legacy worth having

[@techno1561]

@@Alfonso162008 I think it kind of varies. Some actors wouldn't like it because of type-casting (or that they just didn't see the role as being all that important/bad memories associated with it, like with Star Trek Deep Space Nine's Avery Brooks, and Doctor Who's Christopher Ecclestone), and others might not mind it because it was a mark of honour to be that influential.

Mr. Adam Savage. As somebody who always had to watch every new episode that came out when I was a kid, you, Jamie, Grant, Tory, and Kari were never "Just those guys from Mythbusters". You were THE Mythbusters. I mean it with all my heart that you, as well as Jamie, Tory, Grant and Karie, were huge roll models in my life growing up. You showed how fun it is to literally play with science, and to never stop looking for new and amazing things to lean about. Now, as a 30 year old man, I am still finding excitement when I see crazy experiments people do. I know this post might sound a bit mushy, but I just hope that you know just how big of an impact you guys made in children's lives when you signed up to help host a crazy idea somebody had for a show called Mythbusters.

It was great, unfortunately some years ago Littlefield passed away and a large selection of the collection was sent to the American Heritage Museum in Massachusetts. Fortunately though for any Californians, some pieces of it still exist. Along Highway 99 just south of Madera, there's National Equipment LLC which has kept an AMX-13, YPR-765, M44 HMC, and an civilian(ized?) half-track on display. Edit: I forgot to add that a large part of the MVTF/Littlefield Collection were basically archived on KZbin by a guy known as The_Chieftain who works for a video game company called Wargaming. Just search "Inside the Chieftains Hatch," and a lot of the older videos will take you down memory lane of the MVTF.

The story about Adam and Grant greeting each other as 'Doctor' immediately made me think of the scene from Spies Like Us, Chevy Chase and Dan Akroyd are being introduced to a group of doctors, and the greeting is pretty much everyone saying "Doctor" to each other. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqDIY2eXiNt_qtk And Grant is gone way, way, to soon. I got to meet him once when he gave a talk at a local college campus. The talk was free to the community, my eldest (a teen at the time) and I went. Somewhere I have a picture of us with Grant. The world lost a truly great individual when Grant passed.

I don't know if my words can explain my tears but I will try. It rips the scabs from the open would of my heart that we still talk about Grant using present tense. His greatness has eclipsed his mortality and IMHO proves that a person is not gone when they are remembered in the hearts of those that lived them. I do not lament the stories but the pain remains even though I never had the gift of meeting him. It tears me up to think others may feel stronger in their loss than I as my experience was televisual only. May God bless those that mourn the loss and may comfort find you.

Intrigued by your Matrix/Treasure Island comment, I looked up when it was no longer a military base. 1997, apparently. My wife and I lived there on Sturgeon street for nearly 4 years while in the navy. We were there for the Loma Prieta earthquake in '89 - had to ride a tug boat to work in Alameda for a month due to the bridge collapse. We also were there for the Oakland Firestorm in '91. I was working on hobby stuff in the garage when the light through the door seemed to dim. Outside, the smoke was rising and began to block the sun. Crazy. We were the first tenants in our apartment, so it was all fresh and new at the time. I looked at Google street view just now. It looks sadly old and worn. I suppose I do too.

I never saw that as a base, but close timing. I was stationed at Coast Guard Island at the end of '99 and lived in base housing near the gate of NAS Alameda. I was there when they were filming the Matrix movies.

[@JennaGetsCreative]

I miss Grant! Myth Busters started airing when I was in high school and already super interested in electronics and engineering. I tried twice to earn an engineering degree, but through the work experience engineering students do I found that the degree holders usually aren't doing what I wanted to do, and I didn't want to have to keep up with courses and ongoing quotas of seminars to maintain a piece of paper that would make me overqualified for what I thought was fun. Fast forward two decades and somehow I've ended up in finance? But I got my current role because the CFO was looking for someone who can persuade NetSuite to do whatever he wants, which is possible if you're a confident JavaScript developer, and that's one of the many things I am... 😅 I constantly feel underqualified for my actual job because I did the education for it so late compared to my coworkers and my "this one time back when I was 20" stories are from unrelated work, but I've done a LOT of things getting to where I am.

One year at Salt Lake comic con we had a few Doctor Who guests. So there were lots of doctors in cosplay. Anytime we came across each other we greeted each other in the same “Doctor “fashion.

Great video sir 😊❤

I was watching a Mythbusters episode earlier and the topic was “perception”. Grant was a test subject and Adam was disguised as Jamie. Grant’s sudden realization - when Adam removes his mask - results in the best hysterical laughter and he involuntarily hops around 😂. What a legend! 🙌🏼

The doctor bit is something ive actually carried into my adult life at 26 years old from watching the show. I lovingly greet some friends as doctor and they return it

Nice story. I had assumed you both were quoting "Spies like us" but nice to see it was more personal.

I figured the Doctor thing was a gag from the movie Spies Like Us.

Pretty sure our purpose in life is to be remembered by someone like Adam remembers Grant.

[@hanslain9729]

I love seeing Adam talk about Grant with a big smile. 😊❤

Doctor, doctor was a gag from spies like us. Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase greeted each other with that phrase.

11:19 Anyone else think of Muppets in Space when Adam repeated "Doctor." like that?

[@SpontaneousIntrospections]

Love Righteous Robot and LOVE Grant stories!!!
