      It’s not one you guys got to test but blows my mind that you didn’t at all test, and that was the myth that a penny or other coin on a railroad track could de-rail a train! But knowing you guys, even if it didn’t work which it doesn’t I don’t think, you would’ve derailed it anyway for the shot and I can see why the studio and everyone could’ve said pass ! Haha

    There was a silly simple myth that always bothered me: earwax candles. When MythBusters finds a myth to be untrue, the next step is usually to figure out how to MAKE it work. With earwax candle they scraped the wax, smushed it together, it didn't burn, and they declared you can't make an earwax candle. Why didn't you guys render the fat? Boil the wax in some water to separate the impurities and get pure earwax, then try to make a candle out of that.

Now AvE on the other hand, is very particular about not showing his face. I'm not aware of any time he's done that on purpose. In fact, I think he's actually edited old videos to blur reflections out. LockPickingLawyer also is particular about not showing his face. He's been at live events where he does (and the attendees know it's him), but he won't on RUclips, partially for privacy concerns (there's alot of weirdo stalker types).

      Looking at old work teaches you so much. Every failure is a new starting point. There are somethings I have done in failed projects that I will definitely be doing again. Ideas that didn't quite work, but this time I have the extra knowledge and skill set to do it better and make it work. A failure is not a learning opportunity. Recently, I went through and organized my computers files, and oh man, some of my attempts at projects were bad and fundamentally flawed, but they were the first step to developing that skill set.
      Also documenting your process and thoughts on a project helps so much when returning to it. First you remember more than you otherwise would. Second you can look and see where you went wrong and what you can improve. Optimizing your workflow and constantly improving and increasing that skill set. The final thing I will say is have a common repository for yourself and stay organized with your projects. It makes things so much easier. I had to hunt down cad, data sheets and what ever other unsorted crap past me lazily pit in my home directory, documents, downloads, and thrown about my main folder. It was a mess.

      This is a true story. In the early 1970's, after I graduated high school, I, like any teenage boy, wanted to attract women. I worked a job and ended up buying my own clothes. But there was a place in nearby Waukegan that sold clothes that were a bit over_the_top and I started buying and wearing them. A normal look for me was me in a long red coat with a very long scarf and a hat. I just made that look up myself. I later dressed up like that and went to a coffee house and people started asking me if I was a Doctor Who fan. I had NEVER heard of Doctor Who but I looked into it and found I that I was accidently dressing like Tom Baker!

      Look for Streamlined Mythbusters or "smyths". Take a Mythbusters episode and cut out all the repetition and going back and forth between myths so that it's re-arranged to present the essentials of each myth and experiment in a linear fashion. Some "smyth" editors do get a bit over zealous in their trimming, like the one about the office worker who smashed through an "unbreakable" window and fell to his death while demonstrating how it was unbreakable. The person who edited that one cut out all but the final test that worked and the part about the person who went through the window by ramming it with a shoulder, applying the force to too small of an area.

    MythBusters was one of my favorite shows. You and Jamie did an awesome job. One question for you, though. Is that shirt from the film Outland with Sean Connery & Peter Boyle or Alien with Tom Skeritt & Sigourney Weaver? The uniforms in both were very similar & it's been so long since I've watched Outland, it reminded me of those shirts. Thanks.

    I wholeheartedly agree with Adams note on notes, it’s amazing what taking photos of your project or writing down details can do for later problem solving or having references in other projects. I do a lot of restoration work on cars and motorcycles, as well as construction, woodwork, etc. and I started taking notes, videos, and photos during the process and it’s proved immensely helpful to myself but also to my friends and family for their own projects or when I’m explaining something I did that they don’t quite understand.

    I too would love to see a collaboration between yourself and Ricky Jay. I became aware of Mr. Jay in a very weird way - one of only two freakish things that have ever happened in my life. One night when I was a kid I saw Ricky on a TV show, like The Tonight Show or whatever, and he demonstrated his incredible card-throwing skills. If I recall correctly, he threw an entire deck high into the air above the studio audience's heads, and had the entire deck in the air by the time the first one fell to the ground. I thought that was amazing and I wished I could learn how to do that. Here's the freakish part - not long after, I am walking around my apartment complex where we lived, and I see a book laying there. I go to it and pick it up, and the title is "Cards as Weapons", by Ricky Jay himself. Reading this book taught me how to throw cards, although I can barely make it sting against bare skin. I cannot penetrate a watermelon or cut (or even HIT) string cheese or any of his other stunts. But I can get them to go pretty far, so I still love to buy an occasional deck of cards and make sure that one of my neighbors a couple houses away wakes up in the morning and wonders "Who the hell spilled a deck of cards in my back yard last night???"

    The jumping off a building into any random type or style of dumpster as a way of escape etc in the world of tv or movies does look awesome, but here in the real world 99.99% of the time it would be the stupidest idea a person could have. Being I haul dumpsters for a living ang knowing all the things I see and don't see in them, if I made a move like that, my luck the dumpster would look to be filled with soft stuff, but 2 inches under that would be pallets, scrap metal, etc I'd land on and with my luck there'd be that random broken broom or mop handle I'd land on turning me into a Jeff Dunham character, Mikey on a Steek. 😳🤕

    Maybe instead of square wheels, you guys should have gone with something like a dodecahedron wheel, and slowly work your way to the square wheels and find a good middle ground where the shape is optimized for just about everything.
    A good quote. “Start with what you know, and work your way to the objective idea that is in question”
    And often this methodology is what lead to big advances in technology. Look at the old ironclads from the late age of sail and how they evolved into the modern day ship as an example.
    Also, not sure I got the quote 100% correct. But it is something along those lines.
