God as he was naming episodes I could remember watching them, the room the TV and then the next day discussing them with friends at school about ways “we would do it better” because that’s the kind of confidence you have when you’re in middle school and have no engineering knowledge. Thanks for the trip it was fun man.
Well, remember. Except for Grant, NONE of them had an engineering or science background. They were all artists, model makers, and prop designers. What engineering knowledge they acquired was through trial and error.
"Dude, just make it faster, sturdier and better!" - me at 15 years of age "I'm amazed they did so much stuff in such little time. Damn, they're master builders" - me at 26 years of age.
Seriously tearing up through watching these. It's like the show is ending again. This show was so fundamental to how I think as I became an adult. I was 11 when the show debuted.
Listening to Adam talk takes me back to what seemed like a simpler time when Mythbusters' was as complicated as the world needed to be. Thank you Adam for the memories!
@@TheBigburcie Ah, alas, we had only a few hours at Prop Store, and a lot to film. But great suggestion. Perhaps we could prompt stories a different way, though. Stay tuned on that, and thanks for getting us thinking!
Adam, take some pics of the blueprints and make a nice glossy coffee table book with backstories about the myths! I would buy for myself and many as gifts.
Sounds like a good idea. Though i have to ask if discovery has a copyright on them first. If not all you need to do is talk to the furniture makers to find someone interested. Or put it out there for the people who can make their own tabletop.
Devout watcher of Mythbusters and the water heater experiments were always my favorite ones. I recall how speechless Adam was when it exploded and went skyward. I remember the addition of multiple floors in an attempt to see if that would stop if from exiting the 'house' but those water heaters were merciless in getting through the ceilings and roof. Absolutely classic Mythbusters.
Hearing you talk about these things is a trip through my childhood. My 6th grade science teacher introduced me to the show in 2006, and I was instantly addicted. I never missed a new episode on Wednesday(the new episode day at that time). I love to learn and experiment, and I also have a TON of questions about the possibility of some of the things I see in TV and movies. I had a rough childhood, and Mythbusters was a release for me. I escaped everything watching that show. I'm 26 now and doing fine, but I want to thank you guys for making my childhood better. Talking about the show with Mr. Bergdall was a highlight of my days in middle school. 👍👍
Some of my favorite things all through Mythbusters history was simply Adam and Jamie's reactions to the experiments. When the hot water heater exploded the look of sheer shock and joy all at once is forever ingrained in my brain. The reaction to the rockets in Compact Compact is still one of my all time favorites.
When Adam imitated Jaime (as he does so so well) did anyone else expect him to use his fingers for whiskers? It's one of the funniest things I've ever seen Adam do.
@@RGC-gn2nm I was laughing SO hard when I read your comment! I have a Star Wars related (professional) past too and my wife keeps bugging me about when I'm going to sell my prototypes...
Man, looking at these old blueprints is so cool, sometimes it feels especially good walking down memory lane, and I think we can all agree that Mythbusters was very special to every one of us and was an integral part of our life and growing up. It completely caught me off guard for a second when I saw Jamie's handwritten numbers on the Cola blueprint because the numbers themselves appear perfectly identical to how I write and form mine. I know it's silly because it's just handwritten numbers, but it's often those little idiosyncratic things that I find most fascinating.
Adam, I will gladly listen to you talk about absolutely anything, but I _love_ listening to you talk about things you love and when you talk about your fond memories.
So cool that all the old blueprints were kept, and in such great condition that years later they can be auctioned off for a worthy cause. Also, since that's the Prop Store's warehouse, it is effectively the warehouse from the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Or Warehouse 13, to go all TV on ya. I'd love to explore that place for a few days.
This being as simple and entertaining as it is to me, I absolutely regret not ever taking the chance to go see them live. But I admire all of those who did! Freaking awesome!
It would be sooooo cool to see small clips of the show while Adam is talking about them. I understand that’s probably very difficult and time consuming, but it would be rad. Hah
Yeah there is copyright issues I believe - same reason he never shows pictures or clips from the show in his viewer questions videos, except in the thumbnail. I remember him addressing this at some point, but I don't remember where :(
@@sebastianmoore5175 I totally understand and get it. It would just be such a treat to see them. I grew up watching mythbusters and now I’m an adult watching Adam go through all this nostalgia!
@@luciferspal yeah totally - maybe some sort of reunion episode in collaboration with Discovery might be the best way, but I fear that it would be too cut down and sanitized
We TOTALLY agree, but for copyright reasons, we can't. Our channel would get dinged for violating Discovery's copyright, which we discovered even after once working WITH the Discovery digital platforms person to get permissions. It's too hard to manually override the automatic copyright crawler, so we had to give up or risk our channel.
Worked at mouser at a time after grant had worked with them for a marketing campaign. Such a trip to see what an engineer I grew up on and undouble inspired by posted around my workplace at the time. Hope Grants fund is able to inspire many more for years to come. Much love @Adam, Keep it up and continue passing the torch forward!!!
I'm from uruguay, we had mythbusters around noon. Our schools either start at 1 or end at 1. Whenever i had a school year be it primary, middle or highschool, which left me enough time to catch an episode before going to school i would religiously watch it before heading off. I remember sitting there glued to my tv watching you guys do so many amazing things and work through the scientific process in a fun and interesting way! I believe hammer jump was the first episode i watched from mythbusters and it hooked me in. I remember having learned about surface tension not too much before that (i always did a lot of reading about science even in primary school) so seeing that principle tested to the extreme was fascinating and it hooked me. Seeing how you truly enjoyed your work made me remember those times even more fondly. Thank you for so many interesting and captivating lunches.
love seeing that you are so happy about having these in your possession and you can just see the passion from the memories coming out. I actually remember watching a good sum of those episodes in my younger years. If only i could afford to bid on one. Thanks for this trip down memory lane!
Adam you were a major inspiration to me starting my engineering career. Im honored to see you keeping the game strong. America needs all the engineers it can get.
In the best way possible, this is painful to watch. You can feel so much from Adam every time he opens a new item. There is so much nostalgia for us, as well as him. So much pleasure, wonder, discovery and enjoyment. You can feel his delight as each item he brings out takes us all RIGHT back to that. But there is that bittersweet pain, knowing it is only a moment. And the sharp reminder that Grant isn't with us. You know it is killing Adam to part with each of these things, while also passing along and building hope, in a new way, to do just that. I would love to pick up one of these items and leave it with Adam and the team, in recognition of so much they gave us.
The man is awesome. After all these years... So much nostalgia. Mythbusters was THE show. The show had both fed and sparked my curiousity. In part thanks to that show I am still the curious youngster I was when the show was in its heyday. Thanks to the entire crew of Mythbusters for that, and Adam in particular for keeping the spirit of the show alive.
You know, I smiled way too much at this. I miss you guys, I remember just sitting down and watching Mythbusters every day especially when a new episode came out and I loved watching the blueprint parts.
Adam is mostly responsible for me being interested in metallurgy and contraptions and Grant was a big drive for me wanting to study Computer Science. What may seem like TV personalities in some people's eyes can be massive influencers in others...I've always thought that was neat and hopefully one day I can own one of these blueprints
Still so sad that the original show ended. I always watched it together with my parents. My younger brother would often join too. But in the end there's only so many myths you can test for entertainment. At least the original show "died a hero" instead of "becoming the villain".
I think they used to do this on the Discovery website, but maybe they don't have merch-rights any more. I suspect the rights issue might also keep Tested or anyone else besides maybe Beyond Television Production to issue posters of the actual episode blueprints. Maybe Adam could redraw some of his favourites to benefit the Imahara foundation.
Having the blueprint from the levitation machine episode would be so cool, as it was the first Mythbusters episode I saw and made me fall in love with the show. Always wanted the team to return to that one with more experience, better budget and access to new technology.
This show is what made me fall in love with engineering when I was in the third grade. I’m proud to say I started my first engineering job this week! Thank you Adam and the rest of the mythbusters family :)
Mythbusters was always one of my favorite shows, it really helped with my depression. I would always be excited to see the newest episode. When I heard Mythbusters was ending it was hard to accept because of how amazing of a show it was. But being able to see Adam doing these videos helps keep the show alive, I love your attitude toward everything Adam, you are a great and wonderful person. Thank you so much Adam for everything you have done, and everything you are doing, and everything you are going to do. I wish you the best and again thank you for everything you have done.
I've watched all of those episodes over and over and seeing these retrospectives makes me feel so happy. I can only imagine the memories of working on the show and creating all of that. I appreciate these videos and the back stories very much!
Miss him dearly even though I never met any of you in person beside going to a live show I feel as if I’ve known you my whole life and everything I think of something myth busters should test I have to stop and remember it doesn’t air anymore.
That would be amazing. Just listening to them discuss the memories that stand out to them and various shenanigans that might have been cut would be delightful. Grant's projects might be a bit too hard to watch or discuss, though. So I wouldn't want to force them to cover those if they weren't ready.
I have wanted one of those blueprints since I started watching the show, and its amazing that such amazing history and work is being auctioned for such a great cause. Sadly, I likely won't be able to afford the bids that these and the other items will go for, but I am sure they will be treasured, and Grant would have been honoured. You and the Mythbusters crew are a HUGE part of why I am interested in all things STEM, and I thank you for that.
I was the fan who suggested the episode for “Can a tornado put a straw in a tree. I was so excited when Adam respond on the old Mythbusters forums”. I’m going to bid on those blueprints
I'll be interested to see how the hammer prices for items you're featuring on here will compare to similar items that you didn't specifically talk about. I have a hunch they'll fare significantly better.. Can't wait to see if there's anything I can even afford... :) And as an aside - I can't believe you stole that poor otter's joy! :D
when i was 15 ( 45 yrs ago) i bought a used compressor from some guy . it included a tank which was separate from the pumper. being 15 i was not yet aware of what is a compressor tank and what is a water tank. well i rigged it up on the ground horizontaly and it was running. i bent over the tank for some reason and exactly then the base , which was on the side ,prolapsed and blew off at 170 psi. my ears were ringing for a day. lucky i had the big double garage door open so the sound and explosion wasn't contained inside or i might be deaf. that was a wakeup call.
I'm an engineer professionally, and when doing quick sketches, I use blue paper and silver sharpies only because of this show. I think only one person has noticed the connection. Its like my own little joke
I recently watched the old SYFY show called Eureka and was surprised when suddenly Grant walked in to the shot and said something to one of the main characters, it almost brought me to tears.
so many amazing memories comming back from these blueprints, you guys where amazing, thanks for all the seasons of busting myths and doing it in a entertaining way
I think I’ve heard Adam say before that when Mythbusters went to a location, they always ensured that the left it in the exact same condition the found it in, or better, which as you have to admire must have been an incredible feat.
I think it's pretty funny that none of these are really blueprints, but it was very clever to use blue paper and silver sharpie. It would have looked a lot less sophisticated looking to use ordinary white paper and black sharpies.
This is crazy, I remember watching the first episode on its first airing in Australia. It was such an awesome show, unlike anything before and while the whole show was great, the early days were the best before it became over produced. It seems like yesterday, to think they've been in storage for so long, where did the time go????
I'm glad that I got to meet you after a Brain Candy show AND also lived in a city where the Mythbusters exhibit came to. I actually learned how to throw a playing card and stick it into the target thanks to the mini exhibit in that glorious fun house!
Watching this brings back memories I was 8 when the show cam out and I did not miss a single episode and enjoyed every episode I miss this show alot and often watch reruns when I can thank you for the good show and knowledge and laughter wish yall the best
I squealed when I saw the Hammer Jump blueprint. That was the first episode of MythBusters I ever watched and I immediately fell in love with the show.
Thanks to Discovery + I’m able to rewatch and finish mythbusters in its entirety with my wife for the first time. Seeing the show as an adult, it’s very obvious how influential it was for me and a kid/teen, and how crazy some of the projects actually are.
To me, Mythbusters was, and still is, the greatest, most satisfying television show of all time. Adam’s unrestrained enthusiasm and Jamie’s mustache (as well as his charmingly pragmatic and taciturn approach to problem solving) was a winning combination. I stopped paying for television after original Top Gear and MB went away. Thank goodness for RUclips.
@@jonathanluis4966 They got along. Professionally. Personally, not as much. It wasn’t like they hated each other. They just didn’t hang out together outside the show.
@@PaulMcElligott Indeed, on a professional standpoint, they have immense respect for each other. However, on the personal level, they were too different personality wise to hang out without things getting tense. I think it is mature and reasonable on their part to admit that and work in that sense. You can be civil and be professional at work, but it doesn't mean you have to be friends outside of work, just be respectful and civil.
Just watching you talk about these blueprints brought me so much joy. Mythbusters was, and is, everything to me. I signed up for the auction but I already know I'm too poor to be able to afford anything. 😅
Every bid will start at $0, so it's really a matter of how many other people register and bid. The idea of the auction was to make it as accessible as possible to everyone, but it's hard to know how it'll go!
The blueprints were a fundamental part of the show. They always reminded me of wile e coyote, which actually seems like a good comparison. Much of the first season could have been sponsored by Acme. Edit: I will admit that I have not watched all of these videos to see everything they are putting up for auction, but if they have what remains of one of the water heaters turned rockets, I think that would be a huge hit. Pieces would be neat, but the body crumpled like a smashed soda can? That would be a great centerpiece to someone's collection.
I never realized the blueprints were actually hand drawn! I always assumed it was clever CGI…awesome to learn so much about the show so long after it began!
I remember watching my first episode during season 1. I don't even need to tell you how I felt because if you're here, you felt it too in your own special way. But I will anyway. I felt like this show was made for me. That this is a show that I will watch with my kids and it will be with us our whole lives. If you didn't watch it with your kids, or didn't have kids, I'm sure that it was like watching it with your "kid self." It was perfectly made in the sense that we were on their journey of discovery. You could say, "Nah, that's not going to work." and it would, or it wouldn't, but it always really pushed you to think, be surprised, and learn. I just know that I never use the phrase, "bull in a china shop," and always use the phrase "we're making popcorn with lasers."
I wasnt on the video but was listening & soon as you said Hammer Jump, I instantly remembered the drawing & episiode lol. I loved MythBusters so damn much lol. good times
I really love the videos and the insight into what happened behind the scenes on Mythbusters. Always wondered how they got Buster's leg back after it went missing on Hammer Drop, and now I know!
I wonder if there would be a way to have reproduction prints made of these. Like, pick a few and take high-res photos of them for printing. I'd love to have some poster sized ones since many of us can't afford to bid on the real ones.
These need to be archived before selling them off (if this has not already been done). A coffee table book with the blueprints and their story/history detailed would be fantastic. Posters or 8x10 copies to frame and hang up. A deck of baseball like cards of all the blueprints. So many ways to market these and even make profits go to Grant's charity.
I still vividly remember that 1st water heater episode and when it launched trying to count the seconds of hang time it got the whole while repeating "Holy shit!" Over and over.
Really interesting to see Adam treating props from other shows and movies with awe and revelry and with these he's just smacking them and tapping on them with a pen.

I've started watching mythbusters all the way through again. We need to bring it back
Tory is starring in the newest iteration, which launched this week: www.motortrend.com/news/motor-mythbusters-series-premiere/
when i was 15 ( 45 yrs ago) i bought a used compressor from some guy . it included a tank which was separate from the pumper. being 15 i was not yet aware of what is a compressor tank and what is a water tank. well i rigged it up on the ground horizontaly and it was running. i bent over the tank for some reason and exactly then the base , which was on the side ,prolapsed and blew off at 170 psi. my ears were ringing for a day. lucky i had the big double garage door open so the sound and explosion wasn't contained inside or i might be deaf. that was a wakeup call.
i remember in 2003 seeing previews for mythbusters and now in 2021, this is giving me mad nostalgia
I'm an engineer professionally, and when doing quick sketches, I use blue paper and silver sharpies only because of this show. I think only one person has noticed the connection. Its like my own little joke
That's an incredible memory!!
I'm not sure who else would be able to remember this kind of detail after so many years.
I recently watched the old SYFY show called Eureka and was surprised when suddenly Grant walked in to the shot and said something to one of the main characters, it almost brought me to tears.
Always great to see Adam being enthusiastic about things. He cares and shows excitement at a level I am frankly envious of.
Oh man, I am not someone who collects things but thinking about hanging one of those blueprints on my wall tickles me pink.
so many amazing memories comming back from these blueprints, you guys where amazing, thanks for all the seasons of busting myths and doing it in a entertaining way
I love Adam's Mythbusters stories! I wish I could immediately watch every episode mentioned!
I think I’ve heard Adam say before that when Mythbusters went to a location, they always ensured that the left it in the exact same condition the found it in, or better, which as you have to admire must have been an incredible feat.
I think it's pretty funny that none of these are really blueprints, but it was very clever to use blue paper and silver sharpie.
It would have looked a lot less sophisticated looking to use ordinary white paper and black sharpies.
This is crazy, I remember watching the first episode on its first airing in Australia. It was such an awesome show, unlike anything before and while the whole show was great, the early days were the best before it became over produced. It seems like yesterday, to think they've been in storage for so long, where did the time go????
The boat myth...."went swimmingly" ....nice =P
I'm glad that I got to meet you after a Brain Candy show AND also lived in a city where the Mythbusters exhibit came to.
I actually learned how to throw a playing card and stick it into the target thanks to the mini exhibit in that glorious fun house!
It was amazing seeing Adam being surprised by the blueprints he was finding, and seeing/hearing the memories coming back to him in the moment. :)
Watching this brings back memories I was 8 when the show cam out and I did not miss a single episode and enjoyed every episode I miss this show alot and often watch reruns when I can thank you for the good show and knowledge and laughter wish yall the best
I squealed when I saw the Hammer Jump blueprint. That was the first episode of MythBusters I ever watched and I immediately fell in love with the show.
Crazy how such simple drawings of random things have such deep meanings and can bring you back to when it was
Thanks to Discovery + I’m able to rewatch and finish mythbusters in its entirety with my wife for the first time. Seeing the show as an adult, it’s very obvious how influential it was for me and a kid/teen, and how crazy some of the projects actually are.
To me, Mythbusters was, and still is, the greatest, most satisfying television show of all time. Adam’s unrestrained enthusiasm and Jamie’s mustache (as well as his charmingly pragmatic and taciturn approach to problem solving) was a winning combination. I stopped paying for television after original Top Gear and MB went away. Thank goodness for RUclips.
Man if i had the scratch the blueprints are honestly the best part for me. I grew up with this show so hardcore and loved every episode.
Would be so cool having a blueprint from this show and picture framing it! I grew up on mythbusters. Love everyone on the show
the story about the otter stealing ping pong balls gave me a good chuckle
Wish Jamie could join him in talking about this stuff and his memories about the show and stuff 😞
That would be awesome!
Would be cool, but Jamie and adam supposedly never got a long so may not be worth.
@@jonathanluis4966 They got along. Professionally. Personally, not as much. It wasn’t like they hated each other. They just didn’t hang out together outside the show.
Also he was never really comfortable in front of a camera.
@@PaulMcElligott Indeed, on a professional standpoint, they have immense respect for each other. However, on the personal level, they were too different personality wise to hang out without things getting tense. I think it is mature and reasonable on their part to admit that and work in that sense.
You can be civil and be professional at work, but it doesn't mean you have to be friends outside of work, just be respectful and civil.
Wow! What a great segment. I wish you could take the time and tell us about ALL of the blueprints.
Just watching you talk about these blueprints brought me so much joy. Mythbusters was, and is, everything to me. I signed up for the auction but I already know I'm too poor to be able to afford anything. 😅
Every bid will start at $0, so it's really a matter of how many other people register and bid. The idea of the auction was to make it as accessible as possible to everyone, but it's hard to know how it'll go!
Can we talk about how satisfying these blueprints sound
The blueprints were a fundamental part of the show. They always reminded me of wile e coyote, which actually seems like a good comparison. Much of the first season could have been sponsored by Acme.
Edit: I will admit that I have not watched all of these videos to see everything they are putting up for auction, but if they have what remains of one of the water heaters turned rockets, I think that would be a huge hit. Pieces would be neat, but the body crumpled like a smashed soda can? That would be a great centerpiece to someone's collection.
7:02 Indeed you did slap a t-bone steak right on that spot.
I can watch this all day just Adam talking about mithbusters and how they made it just keep doing this type of videos
Okay, I still rewatch the water heater episode every once in a while!!! WONDERFUL!
Such a great show. We watched it faithfully and LOVED IT! Thanks for the memories.
Gutted not to have had a chance to visit the exhibition but it’s great to know its all being auctioned for a good cause. 👍🏽♥️
I never realized the blueprints were actually hand drawn! I always assumed it was clever CGI…awesome to learn so much about the show so long after it began!
I remember watching my first episode during season 1. I don't even need to tell you how I felt because if you're here, you felt it too in your own special way. But I will anyway. I felt like this show was made for me. That this is a show that I will watch with my kids and it will be with us our whole lives. If you didn't watch it with your kids, or didn't have kids, I'm sure that it was like watching it with your "kid self." It was perfectly made in the sense that we were on their journey of discovery. You could say, "Nah, that's not going to work." and it would, or it wouldn't, but it always really pushed you to think, be surprised, and learn.
I just know that I never use the phrase, "bull in a china shop," and always use the phrase "we're making popcorn with lasers."
I wasnt on the video but was listening & soon as you said Hammer Jump, I instantly remembered the drawing & episiode lol. I loved MythBusters so damn much lol. good times
I really love the videos and the insight into what happened behind the scenes on Mythbusters. Always wondered how they got Buster's leg back after it went missing on Hammer Drop, and now I know!
Seeing all these blueprints brings back so many memories of time spent watching the show in Discovery Channel. Amazing times!
Big, big thumbs up! Brings back a lot of memories.
I have so many happy memories of the past years. Such love for the show.
Love hearing Grant's name being brought up and I'm glad the proceeds are going to a good cause.
Adam, you are like a fine wine. Every day, better. Absolutely love your work!
I wonder if there would be a way to have reproduction prints made of these. Like, pick a few and take high-res photos of them for printing. I'd love to have some poster sized ones since many of us can't afford to bid on the real ones.
These need to be archived before selling them off (if this has not already been done). A coffee table book with the blueprints and their story/history detailed would be fantastic. Posters or 8x10 copies to frame and hang up. A deck of baseball like cards of all the blueprints. So many ways to market these and even make profits go to Grant's charity.
Honestly, I could not think of a better thing to have framed and hanging on a wall than one of those blueprints.
R.I.P. Grant & Jessie..........😔
I still vividly remember that 1st water heater episode and when it launched trying to count the seconds of hang time it got the whole while repeating "Holy shit!" Over and over.
Really interesting to see Adam treating props from other shows and movies with awe and revelry and with these he's just smacking them and tapping on them with a pen.
When he hopped up on Roboshark some of us had an anxiety attack.
I love it when you talk about your time on Mythbusters.
Thank you Adam for sharing this. I always wondered who sketched the blueprints.
hahaha I absolutely LOVE Adam's impression of Jamie! Reminds me of when he'd use his hand as Jamie's mustache XD
I’m so mad, I never knew the mythbusters exhibit existed till it’s no more
