yeah, scottie owned, and i pretty much stopped watching when she left the show


um... *googles "mythbusters rocket car death"*

:stare:

That wasn't Scottie, it was Jessie who blew up. Scottie did show up on...monster garage, monster house, orange city choppers? Some drat show or another just as a regular employee for awhile. e: Google says she went to school and is now a dental hygienist.

Jessi was only on Mythbusters for a little bit, while Kari was on maternity leave i think.

Was Kari just eye candy? I dont remember her background. I know grant was an engineer from ILM and Tori worked for Jamie at some point as well and the other girls were metal fabricators and stuff, did Kari have any like, "skills" before joining the show?

Kari was an artist I think, she did physical art installations like sculptures and stuff. So she did have some translatable skills, not that you would realize this from watching the show.

When I was working nights Mythbusters was one of my go-to shows for background noise while I was trying to sleep during the day. The narration and formulaic structure were perfect for gently knocking me down and invading my dreams.

That show looked like the most fun job in the world. Here’s some kind of mechanical problem. Here’s a workshop. Design something and see how it works, tweak it if it doesn’t, and also, there’s a bunch of C4 and detcord sometimes.

Someone tried to make a new show called crash labs or something I think, it was basically the not-cast of Myth Busters and the entire premise of the show was 'let's get a myth and make poo poo explode for some reason'

ah it was smash lab and has a healthy 3.3/10 on imdb

Often they would earnestly test completely bonkers myths, then when they didn't work (as expected) they'd add as many asinine contrivances to the situation to make them work (and as you said, usually adding copious amounts of explosives). Those were always my favorites.

Yep, typically when something was busted they would try to find a bizarre setup where it would actually work. And, well, there’s no problem in the human condition that can’t be solved with the proper application of high explosives.

Yeah, I liked that they earnestly tried to find a solution but then when either it failed to work or just wasn't spectacular enough, they'd say so then blow it up anyway.
Smash Lab also just reminds me of the show Brainiac, which was like the british version of MythBusters. It wasn't very good either.

He has a lot. Just search for his name on Youtube. One of the things I like most about watching Adam build stuff/talk about things rather than other people on Youtube is that the video doesn't cut after each sentence when he talks. He's a good public speaker and can just naturally talk for longer periods of time without boring you.

loving knows. kids are literally tiny widdle sociopaths and i'm not sure what a pre-pubescent 9 year old would even do or think. i don't even think they have a concept of calling themselves a rapist or what it even means, especially not being in the 70s. 9 year olds are certainly capable of doing weird rear end poo poo though but they're also so underdeveloped you can't really hashtag cancel a 9 year old.

Their mother says she has severe mental health issues so I mean, we can't really completely know if that happened. Seems pretty dramatic either way.

She could be having mental issues because of all the raping. Hopefully not but in either case this sucks.
