He's an interesting fellow. Jerry Kuns is his full name. He initially had limited sight but went fully blind early on in life. He'd give tours of San Francisco to sighted people and they would describe what they saw and he'd give his insights into how he perceived the city. Even does a bit of art making tactile sculptures and such.
Especially with the spiked side facing his butt, that probably left some imprints. It cracked me up though, i thought i had seen all of Tory's mishaps, but apparently not, this one is a favorite right away, also because of all the people in the background, adding to the embarassment, haha
Trees are 90% air in 3D, but you should see the tree as 2D. In 2D, the tree is definitely not 90% air. So you need to think about it as a surface and then it is more likely to be 25% air. But hey, golf causes people to become desperate, so having some hope keeps you going.
Looking back on this blind driving experiment after all these years, I'm frustrated that it seems like they didn't try to strategize at all. They are smart enough to know that yelling "left left left" or "right right right" isn't going to yield useful results. I think they probably did it this way because it makes for more entertaining TV.. but they could have gotten much much better results with a defined direction calling strategy, perhaps something like what rally teams use. Perhaps the top of the steering wheel pointing straight up is "zero". Then you choose how many "steps" you want to use in either direction. But basically assign numbers to the rough amount of turn. 0 is straight ahead. Right 1 is the smallest amount of right turn. Right 5 is a 90 degree right turn. Left 3 is a 45 degree left turn. The beauty of this system is that it can be used with no objective reference point. If you're navigating for someone, you can indicate roughly how much to turn and in which direction. If they're turning too much, lower the number. If they're not turning enough, raise the number. Say you ask for left 3, and the driver does what feels like left 3, but its actually closer to left 2, you can call left 4 to make the adjustment. This way they have a sense of scale in their head that is more concrete than "more left" or "right right right right". I'd bet that with 10-15 minutes of practice, Adam and Jaime could have driven through that neighborhood even better than jerry did (though jerry could have done better than that with this strategy as well).
Actually, this is not that the metal spikes under the shoes could attract a thunderbolt directly onto you, it's more about whether those spike could act as a conductor of electricity coming from a lightning bold striking a nearby tree, or just the ground, en beeing discharged all around into the ground. And that, could much happen, as it has been reported numerous time around the globe during soccer events. Guess what the players were wearing ? And even if you had plastic spikes, a lightning bolt is so powerful that it can break through literrally any shoes if coming from the air, or the ground. You don't have to be struck directly to suffer damages from a lightning bolt.
I'd pay to watch "compressed air golf", where the contestants each have their own air gun thingy and have to keep adjusting their pressure as they progress on each hole🙂
I don't get the golfer myth, it's just being outside doesn't add anything anyway if it's a golfer with spiked shoes. Also with the club in hand.. this obviously has more to do with how golfers see the world than how the world treats golfers.
I see that differently! If 90% of the tree is air, 90% of the ball's flying passage is free and 10% is obstructed. That means it has a 100% chance to hit an obstacle on its travel!
If Kari had asked for Jack Nicklaus instead of Tiger Woods, they might actually have gotten a professional golfer to help them. The old man would probably have thought it was fun and he is still a phenomenal golfer.
... before it was 6 (plast) lightning strikes to 4 (metal), then they added some bling, some metal and it became 2 (plast) strikes to 8 (metal) ... their conclusion? "More metal doesn't increase the chances". And now I wonder - if they don't even trust their own tests for being too small scale a number to be of empirical value, then why even bother doing them in the first place? It *clearly* increased the chance, it just doesn't ramp it up to 100%, but that wasn't the wording of the thesis tested there.
In order for the myth to be true (metal cleats attract lighting) then the outcome should be that the lightning should not hit the plastic dummy at all. Electricity always takes the path of least resistance (more conductivity). So with the lighting striking the plastic dummy, the difference between the two is negligible.
How is positive reinforcement a negative thing if he was doing well exactly?? A lot of this shit is clearly scripted to line up with a narrative and it kind of ruins some of the things they do in my opinion (just my opinion)
It made Jerry uncomfortable and I can relate with that. Have you seen Jerries face while driving? the guy was already in over his head, just doing the whole thing. The last thing you want in a high stress and high stakes situation like that, is someone being a drunk goober in the back of the car telling you how awesome you are, while you are trying not to get everyone involved into the afterlife
Jerry is a legend. One of Mythbuster's bet guest stars.
They made his year I’m sure ❤
drunk guy getting his blind friend to drive is the most finish thing I've heard in a while.
Guy putting his foot down on a mark waiting for a flag is the most starting thing I've seen
I love Jerry! He was one of the best ever guests!

@Drakith90 That's awesome! Fun guy👍
My dumb ass thought they were talking about hitting through the trunk of the tree lmao. I’m here thinking there is no way a tree trunk is 90% air 😂
ME TOO BRO
SAME. I was like man were fans really that dumb and then my dense brain caught up
10:37 aw hecc that had to hurt, Tori fell right on his ankle
he should be used to that
Especially with the spiked side facing his butt, that probably left some imprints.
It cracked me up though, i thought i had seen all of Tory's mishaps, but apparently not, this one is a favorite right away, also because of all the people in the background, adding to the embarassment, haha
"Don't worry, we won't be killing any gophers. They have already been killed."
Voice over guy just casually continues like he didn't just say that
Lol beware of the Revenge, the night of the gophers.
😪😪😪
39:17 The way Frank patted the the Kari made me think he was fond of her in a mentoring type of way. It seems to me that they worked well together.
42:34 It’s a missed opportunity to test how close an explosion needed to be to sink the putt
The fall at 10:40. I thought her snapped his leg as it twisted under him.

Yeah man i get it. But the myth is about the movie right? So they have to do it like the movie
@navindunethmina9351 mythbusters formula was always to do it like the movie shows, then see what it takes to replicate the myth.
@@williamdowling7718 i mean they confirmed the myth with the blind dude right? So they don't have to replicate it coz it's already plausible that way
Hell yeah Jerry, hell yeah.

With that tree golf one my personal experience is you will hit the tree 100% of the time lmao
Those houses remind me of the base in goose creek lol.
nnptc?
@ that’s it

Putting would be a nightmare.
It's called artillery golf and people already do that with little PVC air mortars. I've even seen slingshots.
They should have tried with the blind guy drunk and Jamie sober.
I think the whole point of the joke is to have a sober driver
With the building boom going in California, how is that an abandoned military base like Cypress Knolls has been sold to a developer?
Not surprised
Tell me you are drinking Maker's Mark without telling me you're drinking Maker's Mark.
You're mistaken, that's Mythbusters brand whisky. It's my favorite brand of whisky.
17:49 the inconsistency of a human helps the myth. If you pick a bad spot to aim the canon, it hits the same bad spot in the tree every time
i wana have a drink with Jamee
he looks like a jolly fellow :D
best episode ever
"We're not gonna be cruel to any animals, we've done that already." Good Lord.
Oh, so good the gophers were already EXTERMINATED
God bless Jerry!
Top gear did that around a whole track before this. If you saw that..
The redhead reminds me of olive oil!😅
28:13
They dont either
What would happen if you wear ESD shoes though?
10:38 jajajajajajajaja
Talking about Grant retiring hurts a little.
You don't use c4 you use carbide a bucket of water and that's it. 🤷
Okay ... whomst tf is this Will, and what did he do to piss everyone off that they're always firing at him?

Thats a foam rod not a cylinder
15:49 Grant
KUWABARA KUWABARA KUWABARA!
hehe, blue balls, hehe
From working with Kari.
@@bghoody5665 😼😼😼😼😼
If Kari had asked for Jack Nicklaus instead of Tiger Woods, they might actually have gotten a professional golfer to help them. The old man would probably have thought it was fun and he is still a phenomenal golfer.
As you can tell from her facial expression she was more interested in Tigers wood than Tiger Woods
Grant was clearly left-handed, he swung from the wrong side like a 7-year old girl with severe fine motor issues.
😂

I never noticed it when I was a kid but now as an adult Grant acts GAY AF along with all his body movements and mannerisms.
