That's another underrated talent: it's rare for someone to, like Nick, not only detect, but correctly assess and subsequently address in an effective manner, the mood, headspace, feelings, or what have you, of people around them... and/or the way the different moods and modes of different people in a crew are working (or *not* working) together, and finding the right words or actions to optimize the team. I've always had a sixth sense for that stuff, and it took me until my 30s to understand that isn't just a thing everyone can do. Now that I know that, I'm all the more impressed by actions such as those taken by Nick, with his Gipper speech to get Adam in the most productive and most safe headspace. Who knows, he could have saved Adam from another harrowing tale of someone who, focused on just being finally done, isn't concentrating and gets injured or causes some other fiasco.

Had a close call going downhill on a longboard as well, thou it was my friends who almost ate it and not me. I, being the slightly more experienced rider, decided to sit on the board and break with both feet going down the hill. Once I got down I had just about time to turn around and see both of them starting to go down it, standing up. Mind you only one of them had (very little) experience with foot breaking while the other started riding like two-three days ago. The one who had a little experience in foot to breaking over did it and fucked up his foot for a while while the other went head first into long grass at the side of the road. Neither one broke anything or got any permanent damages by sheer luck. No helmets or protective gear on any of us. Nowadays I keep to eboarding instead, breaks are invaluable hah~

Wow. First time caller, LONG time listener. Shout out to 2002, I remember WAITING to watch Mythbusters on Discovery, in Canada, on a 3.5m dish. Adam, you look GREAT! Keep it up, you now preach to my children; inspiring two generations of science nerds is your mantle now, although we take so warmly to Kyle as well, having watched him grow from Nerdist. I remember that particular episode, the decor of my parent's basement. Such great memories. The mystery of the anonymous nature of the internet is that it breeds such an awkward, unilateral familiarity. You don't know us, but we would recognize you anywhere. Bless you, Bless your work, Bless your life. Thank you for your positive contribution to ours. -M

That is an awesome story. Cool insight. Heartwarming inspiration. The "and they did it anyway" all awesome. When Adam gets "sidetracked" it is almost always because he went and answered a question we didn't know to ask or told a story we didn't even know we wanted to hear.

I thought I "had it down" when I did a hanging flip off a horizontal bar. I made sure my head cleared the ground, and did some slow spins around the bar and thought it was fine. Doing it for real, I released my legs and they drove right into the ground and I snapped my femur just below my hip. I taught my niece and nephew a good lesson that day.
