Looks like he finally got gastric bypass. He doesn't believe in exercise or eating right, so there's no way he lost the weight the right way.

I'll bet Penn is a stealth goon, and that thread where everyone was calling him fat, and creating magic tricks that end with him eating a dunk tank full of chocolate pudding gave him an eating disorder.

He's flipping off the camera because he knew a goon would be following the Jamie & Adam twitter and couldn't resist posting a picture of him as a skinny turkeyman.

Next he's going to show up at the OP's door and present the 3 of clubs from out of his neck flap.

So much this. The interns should have just been there on occasion, as needed. Or just as assistants. Lettings them run around doing whatever really was to the detriment of the show.

I think you are remembering it wrong. He said that he and Teller could live like monks, workout everyday and eat right, and still never look like Jack LaLanne, which is true. When it came to weight loss they basically said eat less dummy!

It's only true in as such as they're both ugly. But they could have crazy ripped bodies like Jack LaLanne if they actually dedicated themselves to that goal

The story about Adam almost getting electrocuted is pretty sad and hilarious, in part because it's a good reminder of how this poo poo could have actually killed or maimed someone even though TV often seems massively overproduced and safe

They claimed that fat people can't change into really thin people and that thin people can't become huge muscular people, which is false. I'm pretty sure Penn Jillette was just making those claims to justify his fatness.

Anyone can put on muscle, lose fat, and become more athletic. Anyone can also get "ripped" though for a lot of people being ripped isn't very healthy either. Even if everyone was ripped most people are not going to look like Jack LaLanne, because bodies wear and put on muscle differently.

OK, but I on't think anyone was ever arguing that they could literally work out and diet enough to physically turn into Jack LaLane.

That's not an argument that needs to be refuted.

Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

the new mythbusters is tight. way less announcer guy, pop up motion graphics for higher information density, really nice cinematography with peppered with artsy depth of field shots. only two myths an episode now so not only do they do a more thorough job, they can spend lots of time devoted to the process of building the rigs, just totally covered with loving lingering shots. basically, they dialled down the cheese factor enormously, growing it into something that feels a bit more personal. the personalities of adam and jamie shine through better. so you get a much better sense of their motivations, methods, challenges and reasoning.

still some downsides: so far every single episode has been a 'special', which of course removes all meaning from the term. they occasionally still get jamie to read lines which is an awful idea, they should only ever shoot him real, in situ, straight up answering questions and let adam be the talking to the camera guy, which he's way better at and seems to get a genuine kick out of it. and the myths themselves are mostly pretty contrived, even if they have lead to some really specular and surprising results.

so yeah i like it

There's this post-apocalyptic move about 200 or so people living in San Francisco after everyone else died, trying to figure out how to raise their kids in this new world and deal with problems and stuff, and halfway through Adam Savage shows up, as himself. Like, he, Adam Savage, is one of the survivors, and apparently spends most of his time keeping people's solar panels working.

I thought the point they were making is that some people are more genetically disposed to looking like Jack LaLane (perfect V torso big arms legs) where as others even with the same amount of work and diet might look more like Bruce Lee, or Richard Simmons.

OK I guess the easiest examples would be high level athletes competing in the same field. Go look at pictures of Frank Bruno then look at a prime Larry Holmes. They are roughly the same height, and weight both were workout warriors in their prime. Yet Holmes looks stringy and even a bit doughy around the middle where as Frank Bruno has always looked like he was chiseled from a piece of black granite.
