So what is the difference on a Premium membership and Channel membership, why would I want to purchase another one? Also the premium have been a bit of let down this year with almost no content.
you all probably dont give a shit but does someone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost my login password. I would love any tips you can give me.
When I learned of Grant's passing, it was a gut punch. Even as just a devoted Myth- busters fan, it was: "No, not Grant! He's too alive to be gone." I too, could feel Adam's flinch. It's comforting to know the persona we saw on the show was truly Grant. Thanks so much for sharing this anecdote, Adam.
Yes, "visceral" is the word. Someone I never met personally, that I knew so little about. And still, when I learned of his passing had a very real tightening of the chest. Some people are just that special. They leave their mark not only in our fleeting bit of history, but also in our hearts.
I didn't know him outside of shows he was in such as Myth busters, the Netflix series he was in, and Star Trek continues fan series on youtube. If any of you are trekkies might want to check it out as he did a really great Sulu, I think he was one of the best sulus ever. He alone would have made the kelvin timeline trek worth watching.
My heart broke when I heard he died. Grant, Tory, Kari, Jamie and Adam were a huge part of my childhood, so to see one of them go, and go so early... It was the first celebrity death that I really felt something.
@@ryanespinoza7297 I heard about that just recently, actually. I went to go watch an old episode from around that time and saw people commenting about it. That was really rough, as well.
@@DrMonty-ng5fo Also, even before they joined Mythbusters, various members of the crew had kind of been colleagues--Grant went up against Adam and Jamie on BattleBots a few times, for example.
@@dannijo1772 There's a picture I love in a behind the scenes Star Wars artbook I read as I kid that I can't remember the name of, that shows Adam and Tory together working on the Jedi Temple, and it's always stuck with me to see two of my heroes working on a thing I love from a film I have great nostalgic memories of. I believe the same book had a picture of Grant and Tory tweaking something on Artoo.
@@Oddman1980 Better yet, invest in some insulation and sound proofing. When you work/live in a place where everybody can hear everybody elses conversations it's a pretty miserable experience for all involved.
Hearing that grant died made half our service department stop for a minute. Hearing that it wasn't an army of robots that killed him.... truly surprised us. He was a genius and is missed.
"I love thinking about that guy. I miss him." I felt that in my soul. That's exactly how I feel when I think about my best friend, who passed over ten years ago. I'll always be sad that he's gone, but remembering him and all the good times we had together is always a pleasure. May Grant's memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved him.
3:00 If it's not answered later in the Q&A... it's Boiled Linseed Oil that generates heat as it dries and will spontaneously combust if the rags are put in a confined space (like a trashcan).
all linseed oil, I'm an oil painter and We were taught that our oily rag needed to be disposed of in a special fireproof container made for oil rags or in a jar submerged in water. Not that I worry about that because my paint rags are never saturated with paint and I tend to let them dry flat so I can reuse them during my next painting session.
Thanks for that Grant Imahara story, I know the way I feel when I hear his name isn't... what you feel, when you remember your friend. But I miss him, and thank you for reminiscing with such joy.
"I miss him" I do, too. And in the Battlebots universe, and everywhere else. Rest in Peace, Mr. Imahara. You were a brilliant light, and gone far too soon.
RIP Jessi Combs and Grant Imahara. I remember watching Jessi on extreme 4x4 . Fastest woman on 4 wheels. I'll never forget growing up and watching them during my highschool years.
The question about projects that made your neighbors hate you... I am reminded right away of the Mythbusters episode where you guys were putting ball bearings in the dryer to try to tenderize steaks. 🤣
All of these are good examples, but the steak tenderizing episode was worst in my mind cuz they let the dryer run all night. The other episodes at least happened during business hours 😅
I know I only knew Grant by the Mythbusters, but growing up as a kid the show, and Grant the electrical engineer, meant a huge deal to me as I was also aspiring to be one. I was rewatching old mythbusters when the news broke that Grant sadly passed away, and this is the first thing I have been able to watch since that has mentioned him in any way. The impact of Grant and all the MB team will be lasting for decades to come.
The way Adam takes a drink, looks off to the side in a way all of us who have lost someone special viscerally understand, and then collects himself to tell a story about a dear friend. It’s beautiful…
I sometimes find it hard to think about people who have passed and I intentionally avoid the subject of people who have passed in the lives of others. But Adam very strongly reminds me of the idea that you don't die until people stop saying your name and telling your stories. I don't know if I'll ever change but I do know that I'd like to take part in keeping good people alive.
I honestly cried when I heard the news. I think he's the first celebrity I heard about where it was a shock and made me emotional when it happened. I'm happy there's good stories out there about him.
The Rally in DC was so fun! I remember when you and Jamie tried to have us all jump at the same time to see if we could be measured on the Richter scale. We didn't, as I recall, but it was still fun to participate in. What a cool event.
I used to see Grant on Mythbusters and always think that he was a true genius, be a kid on those days and watch on tv people so talented was really inspirational.
Mythbusters suddenly popped into my head and within moments I was crying like a baby about Grant, he left a huge impression on me in my formative years I just can't believe he's gone
I have been sampling the artists that Adam spit out at around the 2 minute mark and I’m loving it. It makes me want an Adam Savage makers play list. Please do an Adam Savage Makers play list. PLEASE!
Aside from you being my favorite mythbuster because your personality matched my own, I loved your goofiness, Grant was always a close second as I always had a fascination for robotics. I will never forget the impact Mythbusters had on my life, and for that I say thank you, and Rest in Peace Grant, you absolute madlad. Edit: I was almost bawling my eyes out as I wrote this.
You guys got me into science. Grant turned me into a geek in the best kind of way. I just got my dream job at a lab in an Ivy League college. They’re really happy to have me and I have a lot if opportunity to move up. I say this because I barely graduated high school and never went to college. I’m able to do this job because i learning about science from people like you and grant. You guys are so important
Can totally see Grant doing the scuba diving Jamie and I cant stop laughing! Thank you for not being afraid to share about him and letting us see people feeling grief, I feel this is just hidden topic in the world!
As both a consummate creator and ingenuous person, Grant represented the understated very best of what humanity is capable of and his absence is an indescribable loss and I can't imagine how his family and close friends must feel about his passing.
Adam you inspire me. Not just to think critically and be a good scientist, but also to stay humble and kind. The way you speak about other people reminds me that its not just what we do that matters, but also who we befriend whilst we get there.
2:55 Any drying oil, such as linseed oil, perhaps also tung oil can make rags spontaniously combust. Though other light oils are also a risk. They may not do it spontaniously, but they need only a very little push to start burning.
Its amazingly heart warming while overwhelmingly heart breaking hearing you talk about grant. I like many others grew up with you guys in our lives. He will always be missed and thank you for sharing. I know its not easy.
the more "ask"s i binge, the more i realize how full of love you always speak about people. everyone is on your eye level. you admire and appreciate everyone and it seems to me like completely natural unscripted love of yours towards people. i so much enjoy how you think and speak about people.
It's sad that my favorite show of all time, Mythbusters, had two of its stars die. I didn't know him personally like you did, Adam, but when Grant Imahara passed away it was sad. A great man, a maker, and a great thinker .... he's gone. No one can ever replace him.
I always thought he would have been a ton of fun to work with. He could make friggin anything work, and had a kinda wholesome but maniacal thing going on that was just so entertaining
Thank you for sharing a fun Grant story. I think we will all miss him he brought such joy into the lives of so many people. I actually went and started rewatching all of Mythbusters recently and you can tell he must have been an absolute joy to work with. Thanks again for sharing another fun moment from him!!
Listening to songs all repeat for hours at end while hyperfocusing on a task all day and al night long? One of the most distinct adhd things, you’re an inspiration!
Being a naturally good listener is a rare and beautiful trait. I often catch myself not actually listening but rather thinking about my own next response. Really paying attention to what someone is saying and then taking a bit of time to mull it over before responding is so important.
13:50 that finishing oil that will spontaneously combust if left in a soaked rag is Linseed oil...it cures exothermally and if present in large enough quantities (say in a soaked rag) it will get so hot it will ignite itself...
I clicked on this video to leave a massage for myself, because I don’t feel I’ll be able to watch this video without tearing up, or just flat out ugly crying yet. At some point, some time from now, this will pop up in my suggested video, as it has for 3 months now, and I will try and brave it. But it is not that day today.
May we all be so lucky, when we pass, to have someone remember such a wonderful quality about us and re-tell it with such... glee. That others understand a part of who we were.
Haha I was in the crowd at the Royal Albert Hall and remember you walking off and having to come back on stage to do the introductions. You covered it up well! I just assumed it was a mis cue by the production crew. I don’t remember your jokes, but I do remember the crowd thinking.”who is this guy?!?” When you came out into the stage in your first of many cos plays!
As important as everyone was to the show, it’s just so clear to me that when Grant joined MB his talent and personality helped the show find it’s rhythm and episodes got really good for next several years
I miss Grant so much I wish I could turn back time to the myth busters days we lost a great human being the day he beamed up! May your journey be as good as the memories you have left this world you are greatly missed sir!
Thank you for sharing such emotional memories with us. Finding out about Grant's passing was a horrible moment, but it's comforting to know he is remembered so fondly by his friends and coworkers.
I remember an episode of Mythbusters about the 'fastest gun' involving rapid revolver firing. Your team's rig was firing outside to the point that your neighbours came out to vocally complain... The oil is linseed oil on cotten/linen rags... Last thing, it appears you and I share similar music tastes.... keep on playing.... :)
Grant is a beloved person that that brought life and laughter to eve try thing he has done and people he’s worked with. You will be missed, but always remembered fondly.
With the utmost respect to the friends, family, and loved ones of both Jessi and Grant, I think given the circumstances of the death of both, Grant's was a bit more tragic. With Jessi, even it sounds pithy or like a platitude, she at least went doing what she loved, and that hopefully brought some, no matter how small, amount of comfort to those she left behind. With Grant, it's such a random, unpredictable, largely unavoidable event that there's little you can even say about it. There's no lesson to be learned from his passing, if that makes any sense.
I recently found this channel. I have been binge-watching for two days. What stands out to me is seeing the passion in Adam's in his eyes. And that statement towards the end that others here have mentioned really tugged at my heart.
My dad sold Adam a painting done by his father, Whitney Savage, awhile back: someone's "Ghost" if I remember correctly. Adam, perhaps you've already done this, but It would be really cool to reflect on your dad's work!
The Oil and the towel is Linseed oil and a cotton towel. I know it as "Masurian Towel", a way to start a delayed fire. You drench a cotton towel in a 50/50 mix of Linseed and turpentine, roll it up tightly and leave it to harden/dry out. It will oxidize itself to a temperature above 55°C, which is the flaming point of the oil mix, thus ignighting itself. Definitely never do this to anyone anywhere!
We all miss him. I know it's weird but I wish we could have seen all that he had left to come! I only have my TV memories. You are blessed with personal memories.
I only ever knew Grant in that weird parasocial way, but I miss him too. I wish I could have met him because he was one of my inspirations for getting into robotics.
STILL TOO HARD TO SMILE, I KNOW WE SHOULD CELEBRATE HIS AMAZING LIFE, I JUST MISS HIM AND ALL THE AWESOME THINGS HE WAS CAPABLE OF. R.I.P. GRANT YOU'RE TRULY MISSED AND WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
The additional Jamie Mustache movements have me crying over here, lol! I can just imagine Grant doing that. An entire world of nerds miss that amazing fellow.
The Mythbusters were such a great collection of characters. The programme was a big part of most of our lives and I personally miss it greatly. Grant was such a tragic loss.
The streaming service I have shows Grant, Jessi, and Tory as the still for season six. Grant and Jessi look so relaxed and confident and happy in their work and the sun.
I had a Japanese teacher who claimed they were Grant’s adoptive sister or something. They only told the story once and I never did a follow up. If it’s true I hope she is okay rn.
That blinking fast before because the eyes start burning. Then saying, "I miss him". Oof. I never truly knew Grant, but we shared many of the same passions. I felt like he was a kindred spirit. He touched my life and many others. I miss him too. 🥺
I love this side of you man I never sought on the show I saw you being crazy but I didn’t know you’re an artist man and now I just absolutely love it dude get you a maniac like me
I was there in the crowd at DC for that show. You wouldn’t have known your teleprompter failed, given how great the performance was. Best crowd I’ve ever seen on the Mall.

Man, when Adam said “I miss him” I felt that viscerally.

Gone but not forgotten
When it said it, no joke, a tear fell.

"Grant *was* hilarious." It never sets in until the past tense comes up.
I agree 100%. It's still jarring and heartbreaking when Adam says, "Grant was..."
Right? I literally had to google to understand why the past tense.... I had no idea :(
The past tense gets me every time too.
Yep...same. The *was* hits you with a couple of secs of delay...
I didn't know him outside of shows he was in such as Myth busters, the Netflix series he was in, and Star Trek continues fan series on youtube.

Ah, the sweet sweet smell of BLO
Thats why I keep TWO fire extinguishers in my garage. One near each entrance.
And my trash can is a retired ammo can... For very large ammo.
Raw linseed oil will as well. I've also heard of fires starting from bad mixes of polyester resin after cleanups.
Linseed/flax oil in general, it's not specific to the boiled variant. Worth keeping in mind.
all linseed oil, I'm an oil painter and We were taught that our oily rag needed to be disposed of in a special fireproof container made for oil rags or in a jar submerged in water. Not that I worry about that because my paint rags are never saturated with paint and I tend to let them dry flat so I can reuse them during my next painting session.

It will be painful for a long time
The question about projects that made your neighbors hate you... I am reminded right away of the Mythbusters episode where you guys were putting ball bearings in the dryer to try to tenderize steaks. 🤣
I was reminded of the one where they shot a cannon through someone's roof. >_>

What about the soldiers marching across a bridge in the first season?
Esparto? Knock your socks off?
All of these are good examples, but the steak tenderizing episode was worst in my mind cuz they let the dryer run all night. The other episodes at least happened during business hours 😅

May we all be so lucky, when we pass, to have someone remember such a wonderful quality about us and re-tell it with such... glee. That others understand a part of who we were.
Haha I was in the crowd at the Royal Albert Hall and remember you walking off and having to come back on stage to do the introductions. You covered it up well! I just assumed it was a mis cue by the production crew.
I don’t remember your jokes, but I do remember the crowd thinking.”who is this guy?!?” When you came out into the stage in your first of many cos plays!
Your videos from tested are really helping stay sane in these strange times. Love your stuff.
As important as everyone was to the show, it’s just so clear to me that when Grant joined MB his talent and personality helped the show find it’s rhythm and episodes got really good for next several years
I miss Grant so much I wish I could turn back time to the myth busters days we lost a great human being the day he beamed up! May your journey be as good as the memories you have left this world you are greatly missed sir!
We all miss Grant. If there was ever anyone taken too soon, its most absolutely definitely Grant Imahara.
Jessi Combs too.
Thank you for sharing such emotional memories with us. Finding out about Grant's passing was a horrible moment, but it's comforting to know he is remembered so fondly by his friends and coworkers.
I remember an episode of Mythbusters about the 'fastest gun' involving rapid revolver firing. Your team's rig was firing outside to the point that your neighbours came out to vocally complain...
The oil is linseed oil on cotten/linen rags...
Last thing, it appears you and I share similar music tastes.... keep on playing.... :)
Grant is a beloved person that that brought life and laughter to eve try thing he has done and people he’s worked with. You will be missed, but always remembered fondly.
Grant is a missed character in so many people's lives even if we didn't know him personally... just like Jessi Combs
That was a rough one too when Jessi went. The world is so much worse off without the talents and personalities of those two awesome human beings
With the utmost respect to the friends, family, and loved ones of both Jessi and Grant, I think given the circumstances of the death of both, Grant's was a bit more tragic. With Jessi, even it sounds pithy or like a platitude, she at least went doing what she loved, and that hopefully brought some, no matter how small, amount of comfort to those she left behind. With Grant, it's such a random, unpredictable, largely unavoidable event that there's little you can even say about it. There's no lesson to be learned from his passing, if that makes any sense.
I recently found this channel. I have been binge-watching for two days. What stands out to me is seeing the passion in Adam's in his eyes. And that statement towards the end that others here have mentioned really tugged at my heart.
My dad sold Adam a painting done by his father, Whitney Savage, awhile back: someone's "Ghost" if I remember correctly. Adam, perhaps you've already done this, but It would be really cool to reflect on your dad's work!
The Oil and the towel is Linseed oil and a cotton towel. I know it as "Masurian Towel", a way to start a delayed fire. You drench a cotton towel in a 50/50 mix of Linseed and turpentine, roll it up tightly and leave it to harden/dry out. It will oxidize itself to a temperature above 55°C, which is the flaming point of the oil mix, thus ignighting itself.
Definitely never do this to anyone anywhere!
Jamies kelp forest has me on the floor laughing liturarly 🤣
We all miss him. I know it's weird but I wish we could have seen all that he had left to come! I only have my TV memories. You are blessed with personal memories.
Absolutely pumping out the uploads. Keep it up please mr savage:)
LOL. The walrus was Grant’s 😀😀 that’s brilliant. Thanks for sharing Adam.We miss him too.
I never would've thought that Grant came up with the finger mustache.
Idk if that's you in your avatar but I just wanna say your really pretty

Wow, didn't expect that story about Michael Giacchino. He's my favorite contemporary composer, very cool to hear!
I only ever knew Grant in that weird parasocial way, but I miss him too. I wish I could have met him because he was one of my inspirations for getting into robotics.
STILL TOO HARD TO SMILE, I KNOW WE SHOULD CELEBRATE HIS AMAZING LIFE, I JUST MISS HIM AND ALL THE AWESOME THINGS HE WAS CAPABLE OF. R.I.P. GRANT YOU'RE TRULY MISSED AND WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
The additional Jamie Mustache movements have me crying over here, lol! I can just imagine Grant doing that. An entire world of nerds miss that amazing fellow.
The Mythbusters were such a great collection of characters. The programme was a big part of most of our lives and I personally miss it greatly. Grant was such a tragic loss.
The streaming service I have shows Grant, Jessi, and Tory as the still for season six. Grant and Jessi look so relaxed and confident and happy in their work and the sun.
I had a Japanese teacher who claimed they were Grant’s adoptive sister or something. They only told the story once and I never did a follow up. If it’s true I hope she is okay rn.
That blinking fast before because the eyes start burning. Then saying, "I miss him". Oof.
I never truly knew Grant, but we shared many of the same passions. I felt like he was a kindred spirit. He touched my life and many others. I miss him too. 🥺
Boiled linseed oil can self combust which has burned down quite a few workshops and houses over the years.
We miss Grant very much as well. Thanks for the stories Adam
"i miss him"
we all do buddy, we all do.
I love this side of you man I never sought on the show I saw you being crazy but I didn’t know you’re an artist man and now I just absolutely love it dude get you a maniac like me
We love you Adam my kid will definitely be watching every episode of myth busters you guys made my childhood.
I was there in the crowd at DC for that show. You wouldn’t have known your teleprompter failed, given how great the performance was. Best crowd I’ve ever seen on the Mall.
Adam hid his subtle sob and tears well at 10:30.. such a loss.
RIP Grant, Godspeed on your trip through the universe.
