1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
And so the fun begins.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,000
In 2003...

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,000
...the mythbusters embarked on an epic journey.

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000
I reject your reality and substitute my own.

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Watch out!

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,000
It is in gentlemen 70,000 feet.

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,000
And with the tsunami of science done and dusted...

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,000
This is it. This is the end.

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000
The team is back for one final intimate episode.

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,000
You ready for the reunion?

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000
All five hosts reunite.

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Beautiful!

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,000
It is awesome to sit around this table with you guys.

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,000
To look back...

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Oh-ho!

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,000
...and reminisce.

17
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,000
It has been a wild ride and we wouldn't have missed it.

18
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
They'll discuss the secrets of their success.

19
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000
It's like science bait.

20
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Ew!

21
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Formulas for failure.

22
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,000
We did a lot of it.

23
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
And as they walk away for the last time...

24
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,000
What the show meant to them.

25
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,000
It has fundamentally changed all of us...

26
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
In really significant ways.

27
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000
It's destiny.

28
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
It is awesome to sit around this table with you guys.

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000
And it's kind of weird.

30
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
It's like we've never actually done this.

31
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Yeah, no, I know. We have never actually done this.

32
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,000
To start this off, I want to talk about how we became a team.

33
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000
I mean, the four of us, we have all worked together,

34
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
but long before, myth busters.

35
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Yeah, industrial light and magic.

36
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
I wanted to be you guys when I grew up.

37
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
That's the whole reason I got the job from Jamie

38
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
or came in here to do this.

39
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
I'm not going to be a part of this.

40
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
I'm not going to be a part of this.

41
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
I'm not going to be Jamie or came in here and asked to be an intern.

42
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Because I wanted to do what you guys do.

43
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Well, and I knew you from industrial light and magic,

44
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000
but you had actually worked for Jamie long before that.

45
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Yeah, Jamie gave me my first job right out of college.

46
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000
I used to just go over to the model shop

47
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,000
and harass him all the time, and then finally he gave me a job.

48
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
We've got to build a rig that simulates an electric fence.

49
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Okay. I was so nervous.

50
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,000
It's like, oh, it's like, stop pointing that camera at me.

51
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
How was your first day? Was it freaky?

52
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000
It was weird.

53
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000
You look so innocent, Grant.

54
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,000
I know.

55
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Thank you, dude. Thanks.

56
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Everybody is watching you all the time.

57
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Their camera's all over it.

58
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,000
I remember what you said.

59
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
There is no dignity in television.

60
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Once you accept that, it gets a lot more fun.

61
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Don't say anything.

62
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:53,000
My first on-screen appearance was when you guys did a 3D model of my butt.

63
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Oh, God!

64
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,000
I remember thinking, oh, just some silly cable show.

65
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Nobody's ever going to see this.

66
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Nobody thought it was going to be the first thing you Google.

67
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,000
But you also came out on the very first episode, Jato Rocket.

68
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000
You drove yourself down to Mojave to be on that crew, right?

69
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Well, I was working for Jamie, doing toy prototyping,

70
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,000
and learning a lot during the day, but I also needed a night job,

71
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,000
so I had to go work waitressing.

72
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,000
My shift ended at 11.

73
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,000
You guys were already in the Mojave, and I was like, this job's awesome.

74
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,000
I'm going to be a part of it.

75
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
So I drove all the way to the Mojave.

76
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000
I get to the hotel where you guys are staying at like 4 in the morning.

77
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Your call time's 5 a.m.

78
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
So I sleep in the car for an hour,

79
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,000
and I'm woken up by the truck lights and the caravan coming by,

80
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,000
and I jump out of the car.

81
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,000
I'm coming!

82
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000
And I just got picked up by the other interns

83
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000
and went out to the desert to help you guys.

84
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000
And so began the greatest adventure of their lives.

85
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000
I'm going to have to have a green egg to me.

86
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000
In the magnificent Mojave Desert.

87
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000
If you do see something coming out.

88
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Oh, God, that's me.

89
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Yeehaw!

90
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000
14 long years ago.

91
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Oh, it makes me nervous.

92
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Look at how young Jamie is.

93
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:06,000
The team hit the Jato jackpot, and mythbusters took off.

94
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Fire!

95
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
God, I remember that moment.

96
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000
That's so awesome.

97
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,000
This really is like the...

98
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000
We stumbled on the formula for the show.

99
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
When in doubt, it makes up the explode.

100
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
That was beautiful.

101
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Seeing that thing take off like that,

102
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000
it was like seeing some kind of wild animal

103
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000
taking off across a savannah.

104
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,000
That'll be burned in my brain forever.

105
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
One of the things that I really like about the show

106
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,000
is how it captures the glee and the gleam in your eyes.

107
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Oh, that's significant.

108
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000
They squeak when I walk.

109
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000
Because it's like, you guys can't believe

110
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
that you're getting paid to do this.

111
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Whoa!

112
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
This is the thing, I think, is the formula.

113
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,000
It's like, you can say it's about these bills

114
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000
and not knowing exactly what's going to happen.

115
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000
But this is the primary narrative of enthusiasm.

116
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,000
And it was infectious, because in the beginning

117
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,000
it was so hard to get permission to do anything.

118
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,000
But then, as the show got more and more popular,

119
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000
people were like, yeah, I got a car, blow it up.

120
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
No more car!

121
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
I think I'm going to have to ask the question,

122
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,000
because this is the reunion, the question that we always get.

123
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,000
What's your favorite myth?

124
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Oh, that's hard.

125
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000
There's so many categories, right?

126
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000
There's stuff that was ridiculously fun for us to do.

127
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:55,000
I predict that I'll be dancing on Jaime's intestines in minutes.

128
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Then there's episodes that, like, the science was really awesome.

129
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Wake up! Time for science!

130
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,000
And the result was really cool.

131
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,000
Wow, there's no pig.

132
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,000
What pig?

133
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,000
I don't even want to think about no pig.

134
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,000
And then there's final cuts that are your favorite to watch again.

135
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Here comes chaos!

136
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Yeah!

137
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,000
When anybody would ever ask me that,

138
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000
it was always the last thing we had just done.

139
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Right.

140
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,000
It was like, what's your favorite myth?

141
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000
And it was like, well, just yesterday we blew this thing up.

142
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,000
It was the craziest thing I've ever done.

143
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,000
That was awesome!

144
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000
And that would, like, happen after every single myth.

145
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,000
Whoa!

146
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Well, what was your favorite?

147
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Each of these episodes have something that are memorable or special about them.

148
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Things like the lead balloon, which, in an intellectual level,

149
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
I think that's one of the best things that we've done.

150
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:03,000
It was also such a wonderful exercise in internalizing

151
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,000
and understanding contingencies.

152
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000
That is a lead balloon.

153
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,000
And then there are other things like the ping-pong boat coming up with solutions

154
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:19,000
that are so diabolically simple to address a complex problem

155
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,000
and then just sitting back and watching it work.

156
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Yes!

157
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,000
Woo!

158
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,000
Woo!

159
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Woo!

160
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Yeah!

161
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Woo!

162
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:34,000
We've made a career out of making what seems impossible, possible.

163
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,000
That's why I love lead balloon as well.

164
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,000
It was like the pointless exercise, and yet there's something thrilling in the storytelling.

165
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,000
That you got it to work.

166
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Yeah, exactly.

167
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,000
That's awesome.

168
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000
You know, for me, I think it was wakeboarding behind the cruise ship.

169
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,000
Well, that was insane!

170
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,000
It was just such a weird thing to do.

171
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,000
The ship just kept getting further and further out to sea,

172
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,000
so it was like at some point we had to stop.

173
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,000
So it wasn't like, is this myth possible?

174
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Is it possible for you to do it?

175
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Woo!

176
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Woo!

177
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Woo!

178
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,000
And then we found out later that sharks follow those pre-shows.

179
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,000
Mm-hmm.

180
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Yeah.

181
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Something just touched me!

182
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:17,000
For the two of you, I personally think Blue Ice is one of the best things that has ever been filmed.

183
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,000
That was actually one of my favorites because of the fact that I've heard that myth so many times.

184
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
But we've been getting on the list since the very beginning.

185
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,000
Yeah.

186
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000
And I just remember all these rocket scientists looking around going,

187
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,000
it's not going to work.

188
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,000
This isn't going to work.

189
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,000
And they just kept going, we're like, we don't know, we're just going to try it.

190
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Grant, coming up is one of my favorite things I've ever seen happen to Blue.

191
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Oh!

192
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000
I mean, what do you see?

193
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,000
That giant chunk of Blue Ice.

194
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000
That's genuine surprise on our faces.

195
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,000
And what you didn't see behind us, behind the cameras,

196
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:00,000
were all the rocket scientists going, oh my god, like they were more excited than we were.

197
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:06,000
All right, well, you alluded to this earlier, but it's not just the best myths,

198
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,000
but we've had some of the best days on set.

199
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000
I mean, I feel like I've grown up on this show.

200
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000
And for me, what was super duper memorable,

201
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,000
because not only was one of my favorite myths, but when we did car drop,

202
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,000
where we dropped a car from a helicopter and you remote controlled a car from another helicopter.

203
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Only one of mine!

204
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Oh!

205
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:32,000
I know this is the best of the best, coming up, my idea, my game!

206
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,000
I remember just being really, really emotional about this myth,

207
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,000
and like, I was so, I was like running around, just like hugging you guys, because it went well.

208
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000
He did it!

209
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,000
When I found out when I got home, is that I was pregnant on that shoot,

210
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,000
so it was extremely hormone, actually, hormone, it's amazing.

211
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,000
I was less excited after my first kiss.

212
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:00,000
But it wasn't only unexpected hormones that caused the high notes to be hit.

213
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:07,000
More than a decade of adrenaline-fueled science forged a poignant on-screen bomb.

214
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,000
That's all group hug.

215
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:20,000
I remember feeling really emotional when we were all standing on the third rocket car site in the desert, all five of us.

216
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Well, I think our work here is done.

217
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000
That was, it was really, really intense.

218
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,000
I started to cry.

219
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Yeah, that was an emotional feeling.

220
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Coming up, congratulations on an amazing 14-year-run science!

221
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,000
It hasn't all been accolades and warm hugs.

222
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Stop whining, go have a cookie.

223
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Because the good days have come at a cost.

224
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Thanks for 15 great seasons, Mythbusters.

225
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
I've said it before, I'll say it again.

226
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,000
You made the scientific method feel like a guilty pleasure.

227
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Wherever your J. Doe rocket car takes you, you'll always be blowing stuff up.

228
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,000
In here.

229
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,000
The Mythbusters touched hearts and minds from the very beginning.

230
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,000
Mmm, it's a delicious memory.

231
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000
In its weird and wonderful way...

232
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,000
I can answer that.

233
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,000
You're tying a pig's stomach into a skeleton.

234
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,000
The show became part of the pop culture conversation.

235
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Tonight, we take on the classic myth that a cat will always land on its feet.

236
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,000
But this is one reality show reunion.

237
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Stop whining.

238
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,000
You're such a f***.

239
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,000
Where the final analysis is going to be objective.

240
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Yeah, well, you know, we've patted ourselves on the back enough, I think.

241
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000
A little more comfort in your design.

242
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,000
The good days have come at a cost.

243
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Dude, we've never used the blue rugs.

244
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Seems that Adam needs another cookie.

245
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,000
We always use the blue rugs.

246
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,000
I actually don't want to do this test right now.

247
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:07,000
The times that I've been the most upset have been in the early days in particular,

248
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:12,000
where they put us in situations, you know, that were unwise as far as getting hurt.

249
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Ow!

250
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,000
You did hook up the real thing.

251
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Yeah.

252
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,000
No, just leave me alone.

253
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:32,000
And stuff like a Star Wars episode, because there's like no reason to test lightsabers on higher ground.

254
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Oh, I hit myself in the groin.

255
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,000
Oh, no.

256
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Sorry.

257
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,000
Well, at least you got to build something.

258
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,000
It wasn't as bad as like pyramid power or primary perception.

259
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,000
You hear it screaming?

260
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,000
The boogie boogie stories from the early days.

261
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Mind control.

262
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Oh, the crystal!

263
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Double espresso?

264
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Potato?

265
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Juice, please.

266
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,000
I think pyramid power is absolutely the lowest.

267
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,000
That was pretty bad.

268
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000
I'm reading your thoughts right now.

269
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,000
We gave it our best shot.

270
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:13,000
I mean, you know, you have this thing that you have to test, you have to treat it as seriously as you would any other math.

271
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Real free energy.

272
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:20,000
If we're going to talk about worst days, I think we all have the same worst possible day ever, and it's going to be cannonball.

273
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Let's go.

274
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Alright, use his lift.

275
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,000
He's going to be soon.

276
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,000
Oh, yeah.

277
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,000
It's cannonball.

278
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Absolutely.

279
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,000
That was probably one of the most terrifying days on the show.

280
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,000
The popular Mythbusters TV show had an accident, shall we say.

281
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,000
The crew fired a cannonball.

282
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:50,000
It smashed all the way through a nearby house and then through the window of a minivan outside.

283
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,000
We were at the bomb range, took the shot with the cannonball, which we'd been doing all day.

284
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Every other cannonball went into our catcher and our hill, and then the fire department showed up about 20 minutes later after this last shot.

285
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000
And they're like, are you guys shooting cannonballs?

286
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
And we're like, oh, yeah?

287
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,000
They're like, has one landed in a neighborhood and we were like, half a mile away.

288
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,000
The news chopper showed up and we were like, what is happening?

289
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000
They were camped out out front here too.

290
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Luckily, no one was hurt.

291
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:27,000
As nasty as it could have potentially have been, who knows what it saved us from doing later on.

292
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Well, it radically altered our entire safety procedure and our approach and a mental approach to safety from the ground up.

293
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:38,000
To move from things that are potentially deadly to things that are merely awful.

294
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000
They're already giving me nightmares.

295
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000
Answer all over my head, man.

296
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,000
What's your most uncomfortable day, Carrie?

297
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,000
There was a time where I had to try to extract methane from your poop.

298
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,000
Sorry.

299
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,000
And I had to handle that in a bag, but I mean, the one that was the most...

300
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Oh boo-hoo, I pooped in a bag.

301
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:12,000
The most traumatizing by far was the scorpions.

302
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:25,000
They put like 40 scorpions on me and I happened to paint my fingernails the color of their food.

303
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,000
So they started biting my fingers.

304
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Because of that, when I get for real scared, I uncontrollably either shake my hands or feet.

305
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,000
I can't stop shaking my foot. I can't stop shaking my foot. Stop it. I can't stop it.

306
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,000
That was the worst.

307
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,000
I think for me, probably every time I get injured on the show.

308
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,000
You are a little accident.

309
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Oh, the time.

310
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,000
Oh, my God.

311
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,000
How did you not get horribly hurt?

312
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,000
I'm okay.

313
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,000
You slid across the runway on your face.

314
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,000
If it had been a BMX bike, I would have made that easily.

315
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,000
Bam!

316
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,000
My balls seem to be a magnet for injury.

317
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,000
God, I hate that one.

318
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,000
I hate more than anything else.

319
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,000
That one's still...

320
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,000
I felt that one coming.

321
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000
That's the first time I went to the emergency room.

322
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Oh God! Why would you do that?

323
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,000
You guys were tasing each other every morning for a few months, right?

324
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,000
It was like a coffee.

325
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,000
Yeah, that's not a good sign.

326
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000
It's a sign that there are deeper issues in the day.

327
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,000
They were.

328
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:39,000
And you and I have the proclivity to refund whatever we've eaten recently.

329
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Yeah, vomit agents.

330
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,000
What's your worst vomit?

331
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,000
That was, yeah, that was mixing your types of alcohol.

332
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:56,000
It's like a reflex when I sit in that chair, the motion sickness chair.

333
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,000
I just sat down and she said, okay, it's time for the chair.

334
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:08,000
I actually vomited the most in a single day while flying in the back of an F-18 Hornet with the Blue Angels.

335
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,000
I'm with you.

336
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,000
I have phone calls.

337
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,000
Probably passed out there every second.

338
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,000
And shockingly...

339
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,000
There we go.

340
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:38,000
It is the only time that vomiting repeatedly did not detract from my enjoyment of the actual event.

341
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,000
It was so awesome.

342
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,000
And that's why those flight suits have so many pockets.

343
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,000
There's one for each barf bag.

344
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Ewww!

345
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Well, you think that those days are bad.

346
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,000
Nobody's had a worse day than Buster.

347
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,000
I think we should call him Buster.

348
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Buster sounds pretty good to me.

349
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,000
Every day is the worst day for Buster.

350
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,000
And the best part is, what he's designed for is car crashes.

351
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000
And that's rarely what we use him for.

352
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Everything we use him for is worse than that.

353
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:09,000
You know, there's an international church of Buster because he's been resurrected so many times for your knowledge.

354
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Is that for real?

355
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Yeah.

356
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,000
Rise, my son.

357
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,000
His head's gone.

358
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Nice work, Buster!

359
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Wow!

360
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,000
That was crazy.

361
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Now, we collected as much as we could find.

362
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:40,000
And I have for each of you a gift, a ruined camera, and chunks of Buster.

363
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,000
And a superhero costume from Buster's finale.

364
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000
It's hilarious.

365
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,000
All I know is I'm glad this isn't how I'm going out on the streets.

366
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,000
It's kind of like Buster's ashes.

367
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Wow.

368
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,000
Thanks, buddy.

369
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Guys, I'm heartbroken that you're going off the air.

370
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:08,000
A whole generation has grown up with this show to be good, skeptical, critical thinkers

371
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,000
who will go out and prove things for themselves.

372
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:19,000
You've taught to an entire generation to be skeptics, to think it through, to analyze it,

373
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,000
and to know that the only truth that we really get from the world

374
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,000
is what we can go out and test and make happen.

375
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,000
Is that beautiful or what?

376
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,000
It's this little thing I like to call a scientific method.

377
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,000
So you've performed a great public service. Thank you for that.

378
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,000
So let's talk about the science.

379
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000
I know it's part of the DNA of the show,

380
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:48,000
but I think one of the things that blows people's minds is that none of us are actually scientists.

381
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000
You have a degree in science.

382
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,000
I have a degree in engineering, which is adjacent to me.

383
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,000
Closer than any of us.

384
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000
Way more qualified than we are.

385
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,000
What's your degree in?

386
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Setting things on fire.

387
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,000
We're popping popcorn with lasers.

388
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,000
I'm partial to exponential curves myself.

389
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,000
High explosives in electricity. Woo!

390
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Sometimes you just need a little extra lubrication.

391
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,000
The only difference between screwing around and science is writing it down.

392
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,000
I think one of my favorite science stories that we've done is Red Flag to a Bowl.

393
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Beauty's going for it.

394
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Well, I remember when we pitched that idea in the room,

395
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,000
and there was two producers that went,

396
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,000
oh, everybody knows that's not true.

397
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,000
And the rest of the room was like, no, actually I don't know.

398
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,000
Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.

399
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Pleasure answer.

400
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000
It was just so cool to go through each of the elements

401
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,000
and find out exactly what causes it both to charge you.

402
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,000
You're looking at color, looking at motion,

403
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,000
looking at whether it's actually having a person there.

404
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,000
It's starting to feel like a bad idea.

405
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Culminating with actually Tori in a ring with Bulls.

406
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Good job, dude. Good job.

407
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,000
You're looking right at it.

408
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,000
I know, I know.

409
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,000
Early on we had a story called Bullets Fired Up.

410
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,000
Will a bullet fired into the air kill you when it comes back down to the ground?

411
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,000
And in the research we found, the most extensive study done on this

412
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:20,000
was written about in a book called Hatcher's Notebook, a famous ballistics textbook.

413
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,000
And the US Army had fired something like 2,000 rounds into the air,

414
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,000
and out of all of those rounds they heard one and saw one.

415
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,000
We went out to the desert with a methodology.

416
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,000
It's gone that way.

417
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Fired a handgun 11 times into the air.

418
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,000
We knew roughly how long it would take to come back down to the ground.

419
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,000
I was searching across the desert for a pencil-sized hole.

420
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,000
And we found six out of our 11 bullets.

421
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,000
There she blows. That's nine millimeter round.

422
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,000
Woo, we found it!

423
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:56,000
And so in this one story, we substantively tripled the amount of information

424
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:01,000
known at that point about the aerodynamics of bullets falling out of the air.

425
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,000
I'm really, really proud of that episode.

426
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,000
It's science in action.

427
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:10,000
One example of our work getting into the literature also was drain disaster.

428
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Where we replicated an explosion and a sewer due to methane.

429
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,000
And it was really fascinating for me that the burn of this gas

430
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,000
in the right conditions could go supersonic.

431
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,000
No!

432
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:33,000
We consulted with experts on it and we were able to do an experiment

433
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:38,000
that was a significant step further than anything they could actually do in the university.

434
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,000
I think that's a standout.

435
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,000
We're co-authors of that paper.

436
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Yeah.

437
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Along those lines, I've got this letter that I'd like to read.

438
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,000
Dear Mythbusters, after hearing your show's ending,

439
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,000
I wanted to write you to thank all five of you from the bottom of my heart

440
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,000
because you literally turned my life around.

441
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:01,000
When I was at school, I was basically on the road to nowhere until I found Mythbusters.

442
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:07,000
Your show inspired my teenage self to care deeply about science and engineering.

443
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:13,000
Six years after I saw my first episode, I became the first girl in my family to go to university.

444
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:18,000
And now, four years after that, I'm about to start a master's in chemical engineering.

445
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,000
You've been fantastic role models and I cannot thank you enough.

446
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,000
Your show literally changed my life.

447
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,000
It's a- it's really dusty in here.

448
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,000
That's incredibly sweet.

449
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,000
It's very humbling.

450
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:39,000
Congratulations and thank you for the difference you have made to young scientific minds all around the world.

451
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,000
One in doubt, C4.

452
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,000
Oh, my favorite myth was the original astronaut.

453
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,000
Juan Hu.

454
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:52,000
I think Buster, aka Juan Hu, is ready for his launch.

455
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Who did not do enough testing in the lab.

456
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,000
Boom.

457
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:06,000
So clearly we're famous for more than just blowing crap up,

458
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,000
but we're pretty much famous for blowing crap up.

459
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:14,000
When it comes to favorite explosions, my favorite is the detonating water heater.

460
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:25,000
And the main reason is that they feel like what my Wiley Coyote Bugs Bunny inner child wants an explosion to feel like.

461
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,000
Like it's slow and I have time to savor it.

462
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,000
I like the fuel ones.

463
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,000
Like the air fuel mixtures.

464
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,000
The air fuel mixtures.

465
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,000
The throw paint tank.

466
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,000
Yeah.

467
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,000
It looks like the movies like it's supposed to look big, fiery, pooky, loud.

468
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Terrifying.

469
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:50,000
One of my favorite things to do is to try to actually control what happens and make it do something productive.

470
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,000
To blast canceling each other out, maybe.

471
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Taking this destructive power and chaos.

472
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:07,000
Being able to mold it and shape it and form it into something that has an end result.

473
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:13,000
I love that about MythBusters is we're not blowing things up just for the sake of gratuitous explosions.

474
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,000
It's a tool.

475
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Like we are using explosives as a tool to push this experiment.

476
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,000
It's either a tool of experimentation or a tool of storytelling.

477
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,000
Yeah.

478
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Jamie and I got introduced on an Australian radio show and they said MythBusters is a Trojan horse of reason hiding behind a thin veil of explosives.

479
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,000
It's like science bait instead of jail bait.

480
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
That's another interesting thing.

481
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,000
That is a... I think we should stop right there.

482
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Alright, let's cut to a montage.

483
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,000
Okay.

484
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Everybody say it with me.

485
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000
Jamie wants big boom.

486
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,000
Big boom. Big boom. Big boom.

487
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Everybody okay?

488
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,000
That's what we do on MythBusters. We blow crap up.

489
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Look, we're here reminiscing about the whole history of MythBusters.

490
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,000
Jamie wants big boom.

491
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:59,000
And we are done making this as a show, but it's important to let the viewers know that MythBusters is not done being aired.

492
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,000
That doesn't get old.

493
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,000
It is moving from Discovery to the Science Channel.

494
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:09,000
The entire catalog, 250 plus episodes are moving over to the Science Channel.

495
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,000
Oh, yeah.

496
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,000
Wow.

497
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,000
I heard there might even be a lost episode.

498
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,000
There is.

499
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Yeah, it's the sh** special.

500
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,000
I'm pretty sure they just bleeped that because we're not allowed to actually say it.

501
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000
It's a lost surprise.

502
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,000
What?

503
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,000
Yes.

504
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Yeah, like Egyptians.

505
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,000
This might actually be happening.

506
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,000
Yep, strap in and countdown.

507
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,000
In three.

508
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:39,000
Because the MythBusters new home, two, has one final premiere to launch.

509
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,000
Beautiful.

510
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,000
What's this I hear you're not making MythBusters anymore?

511
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,000
No, I have none of it.

512
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,000
You just began the show 14 years ago.

513
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,000
So, no, get back to work.

514
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:05,000
I can't even fathom a world without MythBusters.

515
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,000
You know why?

516
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:16,000
Because you help bring civilization to a state of rational thought of how to analyze claims about what is and is not true in this world.

517
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,000
But I'm expecting you go on to greater things.

518
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:25,000
If there is such a thing that's greater than MythBusters.

519
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,000
Wow.

520
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,000
Yeah.

521
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,000
That was amazing.

522
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,000
That is really cool.

523
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:37,000
One of the cool things about us all getting back together again is that we can talk about things that only we can talk about with each other.

524
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Like the doors that have been opened from this little scrappy cable show, all of a sudden we're getting into places that are amazing.

525
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,000
It's a portable hug.

526
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Okay, talking about access, we went to the White House.

527
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,000
Good to see you.

528
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,000
Welcome to the White House.

529
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:09,000
And as Jamie likes to point out, we were testing poop hitting a fan the day before.

530
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,000
And then...

531
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:16,000
The next day we were shaking hands with the president.

532
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Did you wash those hands?

533
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,000
We did.

534
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Actually, we're there loading our equipment in and the Secret Services running the Sniffer Dogs past and Jamie turns to me and he goes,

535
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,000
we were at the bomb mines two days ago, how are we not lighting them up like Christmas?

536
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,000
And I'm like, shut up.

537
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,000
Don't talk to me.

538
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,000
Just be quiet.

539
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Southgate needs a little more security, everybody.

540
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:39,000
My personal favorite is getting to fly in the U-2.

541
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Wow, we're already lifting.

542
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,000
That's crazy.

543
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,000
Whoa.

544
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,000
Wow.

545
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,000
That BLF were space, invited us in.

546
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,000
They only let one civilian take that ride every couple of years.

547
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,000
Holy cow.

548
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:59,000
The men and women that run that program and have been running it for decades are super dedicated.

549
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,000
They were totally amazing.

550
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,000
And now we just passed the top of Mount Everest.

551
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:07,000
And they gave me and us our viewers an experience that very few people ever get.

552
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,000
The sky has gotten to be a very, very dark blue.

553
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,000
What an unbelievably beautiful day.

554
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,000
Yeah.

555
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:22,000
Aside from these six astronauts on the space station, we are the two highest humans off of planet Earth.

556
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,000
This is not a bad way to spend your day.

557
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,000
I mean, for you, it was that ride.

558
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,000
But I have learned so much, especially from you, Jamie.

559
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000
I have learned so much about building from you.

560
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,000
We've gotten to do some really cool stuff.

561
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,000
Decapitation hazard, everybody.

562
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,000
This is going to kill you.

563
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,000
Yeah.

564
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,000
It's all about the build.

565
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,000
Come on.

566
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,000
I like it.

567
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,000
It allows you to internalize what you're doing when you get physical with things.

568
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,000
It's not like you're just designing stuff on paper or you're just thinking about it.

569
00:30:53,000 --> 00:31:03,000
It's a different experience when you've got your own blood smeared over your tools instead of somebody that's, you know, typing away on an CAD or something like that.

570
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,000
It's like a clown's head exploded.

571
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,000
We built an earthquake table that rivaled the earthquake table.

572
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,000
I had been to it museums.

573
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,000
That was beautiful.

574
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,000
It was a great build.

575
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,000
It was a huge build.

576
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,000
Huge.

577
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,000
That was some heavis steel.

578
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,000
And we knocked down a few buildings with it.

579
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,000
I mean, like, how cool is that?

580
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,000
Oh, look at that!

581
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,000
I mean, that's a cornerstone of the show.

582
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:35,000
From the beginning, we are not only figuring out the myths, but we're also making all the things that go into it.

583
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,000
I know exactly what it feels like to be Michelangelo.

584
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:41,000
Do not try anything you're about to see at home.

585
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,000
Don't try this at home.

586
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,000
Whoa!

587
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,000
Whoo!

588
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,000
Whoo!

589
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,000
There are plenty of times when we're doing stuff that's scary,

590
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,000
but what about stuff where you genuinely feared for your life?

591
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,000
Oh, creamer cannon.

592
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,000
Absolutely.

593
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:02,000
We had an entire pallet of creamer, five flares, a giant air cannon.

594
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,000
What?!

595
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,000
Fire this thing off and initially nothing happened.

596
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,000
And then it roared to life.

597
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Whoa!

598
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,000
Oh, my God!

599
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,000
So we're standing not quite far enough back when it just started.

600
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:21,000
Coming at us, making that roar, a physical roar.

601
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,000
What about the time when we tried to raise the little kid with helium balloons?

602
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,000
That wasn't dangerous, but it happened.

603
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,000
No, that part was the save part.

604
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,000
Right.

605
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,000
Oh, my God!

606
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,000
It worked!

607
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,000
So if balloons got up into the rafter, its solution was to shoot them down with the BB gun.

608
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,000
It's a fine solution.

609
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,000
The problem was a lady heard somebody was shooting guns.

610
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,000
Two cop cars pulled in and instead of dropping the gun,

611
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,000
our safety officer starts running towards them going,

612
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,000
it's a BB gun, it's a BB gun, don't worry.

613
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,000
And then that's when they drew the guns on all of us and we all had to get danged.

614
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,000
Including the little girl, we're all face down on the ground.

615
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,000
That's twice on the show that I've had a gun drawn on me.

616
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,000
Right, the other time is when we had the fake bomb,

617
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,000
it looked like it was a cartoon bomb, right?

618
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,000
Candy Graham.

619
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:17,000
So I'm literally standing outside the door, waiting for them to call action,

620
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,000
and I hear, put your hands up.

621
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,000
And I thought it was the owner of the house, so I turned around smiling,

622
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,000
and there I am holding a bundle of a random mic.

623
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,000
And there's two cops with their guns drawn on me,

624
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,000
and I was like, we're on mitfusters making a show,

625
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,000
and I dropped the thing and I'm like, the producer's in there.

626
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,000
I was just like, oh, my God, don't shoot, please don't shoot.

627
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:39,000
My scariest moment ever is underwater car, the second one.

628
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Absolutely terrifying.

629
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,000
Here we go.

630
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,000
It was terrifying watching you go through that.

631
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,000
What Adam didn't know is that as frightening as his experience was,

632
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,000
it had an astonishing real-world impact.

633
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,000
Well, it was a typical day.

634
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:09,000
It was right before Easter, and I got up and got Emily up and got her ready to go.

635
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,000
I left about 4.30 in the morning,

636
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,000
and I got about three miles down the road,

637
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:24,000
and I hit a patch of slushy snow and went off into the water.

638
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,000
And I looked and their car was filling up with water.

639
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,000
It was so happening so fast.

640
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:37,000
I crawled through the vehicle, got into the back seat with Emily,

641
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:41,000
unstrapped her from her car's seat, and I tried the driver's side door.

642
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,000
That door went open.

643
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,000
I had Emily in my arms trying to keep her out of the water,

644
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,000
and I'm going, oh, my gosh.

645
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,000
I need to get us out of here, and then, you know, the mitfusters thing came to mind.

646
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,000
And it was like, okay, I have to wait.

647
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:04,000
Even though I didn't want to, I had to wait until the pressure equalized in the vehicle so I could get the door open.

648
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:09,000
I waited until that moment pushed the door open, and it opened like nothing.

649
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:17,000
And I kind of swam, walked, and I kind of held Emily above my head to keep her out of the water and got onto the road.

650
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:31,000
I still get emotional. I still, every year on April 3rd, I still kind of go,

651
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:35,000
yeah, this could have been the day me and her weren't here, you know.

652
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:42,000
Wow. I don't know what to say to that. That's intense.

653
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,000
We're not just blowing things up here, people.

654
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,000
Bye-bye.

655
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:02,000
Okay, so we all got into this as a job. You know, it's a TV show. It's entertainment.

656
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:08,000
But on the other hand, we've been on air for so long for a reason,

657
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:14,000
and we've had quite an impact on popular culture in some way.

658
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,000
What do you guys think about that?

659
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:23,000
I think that it brought about a renaissance of making science fun again.

660
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Am I missing an eyebrow?

661
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Breasts are expanding. Repeat, breasts are expanding.

662
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,000
Making it narratively interesting.

663
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Crack, damn you.

664
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,000
Yeah, something that people could relate to.

665
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,000
My toes always land but aside.

666
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:42,000
I'm saying, oh, science isn't boring. It's explosions.

667
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,000
Car crashes.

668
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,000
It's really a fun world to open up to.

669
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,000
That is messed up.

670
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:54,000
And I think we hit kind of our stride right when the Internet was hitting its stride,

671
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:58,000
and you know, there was all these urban legends and viral stories.

672
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,000
All of a sudden, everyone was like, wait a minute, is that true or is it not?

673
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,000
So we kind of came in at the perfect time.

674
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,000
We came along just when Geek started being cool.

675
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,000
I wouldn't say Jamie's an evil genius.

676
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,000
Say hello to our little friend.

677
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,000
Go get a boy.

678
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,000
And we got to really be a part of that evolution.

679
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,000
It's almost too exciting.

680
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,000
All of that stuff was a wave that we're surfing.

681
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:24,000
We were able to ride it at the right time and the right place,

682
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:30,000
and take that ride in a way that at times was really pretty inspired.

683
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,000
I definitely like science better when it's got a view.

684
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:44,000
Absolutely, Carrie, you have done so much to inspire girls and women to realize

685
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,000
that they can follow the thing that they're interested in.

686
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,000
You know, people ask us all the time, how do we get girls interested in science?

687
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,000
And my response is, stop asking me.

688
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,000
Go ask a little girl.

689
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,000
They're the most natural scientists you'll ever meet.

690
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,000
We also have the most amazing fan base.

691
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:04,000
They have really supported us and they are an above average group of people.

692
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,000
And they are the reason why our show lasted so long,

693
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:12,000
because in the beginning there was just a small group and it just got bigger and bigger.

694
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:17,000
Well, speaking of Mythbusters resonating with fans, we have a video that bears directly on that.

695
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,000
Let's take a look.

696
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,000
I am a big fan of the Mythbusters.

697
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,000
I've even had them over at the White House a few times.

698
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,000
Now come to think of it, they never let me blow anything up,

699
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,000
but I'm still going to miss them.

700
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:34,000
I'm grateful for the time they proved that, yes, America did actually land on the moon.

701
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:39,000
And for the time they came to the White House to debunk the Archimedes solar ray.

702
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,000
That was fun.

703
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:45,000
So after more than a thousand myths tested, after more than 900 explosions,

704
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:52,000
after 83 miles of duct tape, I just want to say thank you to Adam, Jamie, Carrie,

705
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:57,000
Tori, Grant, and all of the Mythbusters team for entertaining us these 14 years.

706
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:03,000
More importantly, thank you for inspiring so many of our young people to ask the big questions about our world

707
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,000
and to seek the answers through math, science, and engineering.

708
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:10,000
It's going to make a real difference to America's future, I promise.

709
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,000
We'll be better off because of you.

710
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:18,000
But the Secret Service will rest easier without you around on our south lawn.

711
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,000
Congratulations on a great run.

712
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,000
Wow.

713
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,000
Wow.

714
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,000
That's cool.

715
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,000
That is kind of intense.

716
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,000
Yeah.

717
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:36,000
I got to say, it means so much that you guys came back to sit at this table to help us say goodbye to this show.

718
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:42,000
Mythbusters would not be Mythbusters without the three of you, without the five of us,

719
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,000
and it's vital that you came back to say goodbye, and I really appreciate that.

720
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,000
Well, it has been a wild ride, and we wouldn't have missed it.

721
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:59,000
You know, and some things a part of your life are so long, it's hard to say goodbye, so thanks for the chance to say goodbye.

722
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000
Jamie, thanks for giving me a job.

723
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,000
You were right, it did change my life.

724
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,000
Absolutely.

725
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:10,000
It has fundamentally changed all of us in really significant ways.

726
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:18,000
And to the fans, we would not have been able to make this show without your enthusiasm, your support, your encouragement, your ideas,

727
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:26,000
your criticism and your comments have all made this show what it is, and it would not be here without you, so we thank you as well.

728
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:27,000
Thank you.

729
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,000
Thanks, everybody.

730
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:32,000
I'm Jamie Heineman.

731
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,000
And I'm Adam Savage.

732
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:37,000
We're going to find out what happens when you strap a rocket to a 67 Chevy.

733
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,000
Oh, yeah.

734
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:44,000
I see trees and green, red roses too.

735
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:53,000
I see them blue, purple and purple and yellow, and I see them to myself.

736
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:59,000
Oh, wonderful.

737
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,000
Oh, wow.

738
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,000
Oh.

739
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,000
Oh.

740
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,000
Oh.

741
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:05,000
Oh.

742
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,000
Oh.

743
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,000
Oh.

744
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,000
Oh.

745
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,000
Oh.

746
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:10,000
Oh.

747
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,000
Oh.

748
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:12,000
Oh.

749
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,000
Oh.

750
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,000
Oh.

751
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,000
Oh.

752
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,000
Oh.

753
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,000
Oh.

754
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,000
Oh.

755
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:19,000
Oh.

756
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,000
Oh.

757
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,000
Oh.

758
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:22,000
Oh.

759
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,000
Oh.

760
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:24,000
Oh.

761
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,000
Oh.

762
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Oh.

763
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,000
Oh.

764
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:28,000
Oh.

765
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,000
Oh.

766
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:31,000
Oh.

767
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,000
Beautiful.

768
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,000
Beautiful.

769
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,000
Shake it head and sail.

770
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,000
How do you do?

771
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,000
Thank you.

772
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:43,000
I really say I'm ready for any sport.

773
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,000
I'm ready for any sport.

774
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,000
That was beautiful.

775
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,000
That was beautiful.

776
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:49,000
Yeah.

777
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,000
That was beautiful.

778
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,000
That was beautiful.

779
00:41:54,000 --> 00:42:03,520
