@@Jacob-Ironside Probably not - he did say in another interview that he turned vegetarian for about three months after that myth though. But honestly can you blame him.
It's a pitty that Karri wasn't part of the team at this stage - her reaction would have been *PRICELESS!* 🤣
x2 💀🐷 + 🚘 x3 months = 🤢🤮
I remember when I saw the 'stuff' I was pretty disgusted as well.
Many years ago I work in a car wash and was brought a classic car. How ever it was a completely striped of the interior. and was a death car. We were offered a really great bonus if we could get the odor out of the car. at this point was just bare metal inside. We failed to get the smell out after a week of cleaning. Found out later the car was sent to the crusher.
Not a fan of these misleading thumbnails. If you are going to use screens from MB you have to show a clip at least.
"He did not sit on the pig, because on was no longer an option. It was more like...among."
Oh...oh no...
"Pig shaped mounds of hairy, boney, pudding."
Good lord lol
Almost lost my dinner hearing that. I know what that smells like
That part had me laughing so hard!
@@microbuilder Good lord, bad lard.
kinda sus, votes waffle.
The phrase "They were no longer... Pigs. They were pig-shaped mounds of hairy, bony pudding" is the most lovecraftian thing I ever heard in real life
In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only pig-shaped mounds of hairy, bony pudding.
@@VeryDeathlyShiny "that is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die" and produce an undescribable stench.
“Upon the bed, before that whole company, there lay a nearly liquid mass of loathsome - of detestable putrescence.”

up until adam said that i was ok but that description made me nausious
I retched @@luckyphill3605 and I was fine up till then
You know it's gonna be a good one if someone looks at their watch and says: "Yeah, I got time to tell this story"
Even better when they say, "You know what, I'll *make* time to tell this story!"
The fact that Neil was 50 feet away cracking up is the best visual.
It's in the episode if you can find it. I just watched it recently, he was a funny and weird dude. Someone asked him how bad it was and he just kinda shrugs and says "yeah that's the general death smell" like it was the most common thing in the world to know what death smells like.
neil: HOly shit thats fucked up
also neil: 5 thousand bucks if you lick the corpse
@@theshuman100 To be in the crime scene clean up job you really do need a sense of humor keep yourself sane due to some of things you'd see...
@@MegaRazorbackDefinitely. That kind of job basically requires a good deal of disconnection to do effectively.
My buddy is in restoration. He cleans up places after floods and fires. A few times he has cleaned up after a shooting or similar. Not even the bodies, or blood. Just demoing the place afterwards. But even that left an impression on him. He was visibly shaken for a good week or two after. I don't think people realize how much our bodies are hardwired to actively avoid this type of thing. It can really mess with you.
@@OsaculnenolajO Yeah, my dad lost a work mate during one of his night shifts in the mine he worked at, it was him, his work mate and a member from change over going over the status of things for day shift...Mine "forgot" (They never bothered to let the crews do it but the crew that was supposed to do it HAD marked that they'd done it even though it wasn't done so something between that crew and the mine owners got looked into) to shore up that tunnel with the wire after blasting it 3 months prior and while they were walking back to topside a 2m long, 10 ton hunk of rock fell from the ceiling in between the three of them, only the front 20cm of it hit that worker on the head but even just that was enough...My dad and change over had to carry him back topside and my dad was a mess for 2 months.
I swear I could smell it in my living room when it aired. I was surprised the episode even aired at all. I learned later that the episode didn't actually "air", it outgassed.
Ba-Dum Tsss! Take your like and get out of here you punny bastard.
you are not clever or funny
What do you mean?
@@Ethan-pr6pk it means that the air within the thing escaped leaving the thing air free much like the 'air' inside the car no longer had oxygen in breathable concentrations. Its what bodies do and the reason that drowning victims pop back up and then sink again about a week later.
I swear it was an early season too. As soon as I saw the title I thought, “it’s the pig episode”. It was shockingly gross. You would think in like, 13 years of the show, *something* would be worse, but it set the bar super high.
I absolutely love the "Stinky Car" episode, and the fact you kept the Corvette seller's reaction to the horrors you were about to inflict upon this iconic model of muscle car. I'll watch that whole episode just to see that gentleman's expression change from "Sweet, I got paid in cash AND it's going to be on TV? Nice!" to "I cannot mentally process what you guys are going to do to this vehicle... ..."
Yeah, but that was probably the ugliest body style of Corvette ever built. So no real loss.
@@oxide9679 Matter of opinion. To me, it's the least ugly Corvette ever designed.
@@AiOinc1 To me, it just looks like a doorstop wedge made out if scrap lumber.
My favorite part of the episode was after sealing the car a fly landed on the roof and Adam said "He missed all the fun"
To quote a line from Comming to America, "it's a damn shame what they did to that car"
For anyone wondering what the result was from that episode, they were NOT able to get the smell out mostly because the rotting pig soup caused the seats to start decomposing too.
They removed the interior before selling the car. *It STILL had some smell to it even after that.*
@@101Volts I was thinking about the Seinfeld episode with the smell in the car.
Using a car with an absorbent body didn’t help either-fiberglass
why i’m Gods name would they use a corvette bro
Is there a episode of this?
I am continually impressed with how well Adam remembers names
Except poor Marvin.

@@jeremiahbachmann3901 Yep. The next words out of my mouth would have been "show me the money". I mean, the worst thing that's going to happen is you're going to puke a lot and drink a large amount of alcohol to wash the taste off. I've done both all of that for free before. :-)
My favorite statement was "I dont remember if we put clothes on them or not"
These guys live some weird lives.
"I don't think we put them in clothing"*
Literally read your comment as he said it, coincidentally.
When you're loading dead pigs into a car just to see how they rot,putting clothes on them has to be lower on the list of weird things done to make that happen lol
This shit literally gave me "I know where this is going, and I do not like it" the entire time.
I just imagine
Guy: you have any dead pigs will pay you
Farmer: yeah i gut one
Guy: ok well we actually need 2
Farmer: did i say 1 i meant 2.. I definitely have 2 dead pigs
Funny I thought the same. Knowing there’s a ready market, they probably off the problem pigs and call Hollywood whenever they are a little short on cash.
@@microdesigns2000 live pigs are obviously worth much more than dead pigs
@@niko1ndex Don't most farm pigs end up dead?
@@microdesigns2000 yes but they said that they didnt want to waste meat, so it must have been pigs that weren't fit for butchering. Hence they wuld we worth less than live ones.
@@niko1ndex So then, you aren't understanding the joke in this thread.
"First Dead Animal Myth" So many implications, so little time.
Which is harder? Falling on water or falling on concrete? Dropping the dead pigs from the helicopter to text the myth.
I the wrong context, it could me them sound like budding serial killers. Lol
The way he describes it you can tell he still sees what was left of the pigs whenever he thinks about this myth
Edit: Thanks RovingTroll

That is one of those things that must burn in your memory😬

@@RovingTroll You know what, fair enough
@@effen_aey_man I just watched this again, and the story still cracks me up. They traumatized that poor Production Aide.
"You would hate your tongue for the rest of your life!"
Potentially, for the rest of your very short and infected life
You would probably vomit instantly, multiple times so the tasty vomit (in relation to the rotting pig) would coat your tongue. Even still, 5k is too little. Far, far too little
Thats why you gotta spit, not swallow
@@TryingMyWorst Spitters are quitters
Yeah one of the advantages to expensive healthcare, you can genuinely avoid dumb dares like that out of pure economic necessity.
@@KairuHakubi Truth. A mere $5k would barely cover the ambulance ride to the hospital, especially in a city like San Fransisco.
The pigs in the car myth was exactly the one that first came to mind when I saw the title. That episode has stuck in my mind for years. The most impressive bit for me was the fact they were able to find a company that specialized in cleaning that kind of mess. I would not have even known how to find this kind of company.
The crazy thing, is to imagine a company that can run this kind of busques and be wealth, as he mention.
I haven't seen the episode - did they get the smell out?
@@draakonikihv Nope... Even the profissional. Also the deterioration in the rubber and the fabrics, because of the gases of the dead big, makes the smell never goes aways.
@@dandalo Thank you!
My aunt shot herself in her car (before I was born). My stepmom had to clean it up. Trust me, if she could afford to hire a company like this at the time, she would have. There is definitely a market.

Which one is it?
I bet the memory of that smell flooded back to him while telling that story. Smells like that stick with you....literally
Smells have such a weird impact on the brain. I had the occasion to "clean up" a dead raccoon near my house. The smell was ... unique, to say the least. Now, every time I return to the location the smell appears again in my brain.
The human brain is hard wired to regard crying babies as the most annoying sound, and rotting meat as the most horrible smell. Both are situations that require urgent response for the continued survival of the species.
I once tried to find something I didn't mean to throw away at an apartment complex pulled out a clear plastic bag which contained the scull and bones of what looked like a dog and I will never forget the unmistakable smell of death. smells like shit would have been an upgrade, puss rotten beef and vinegar.
I got paid to pick up roadkill in the dead heat of summer once. The smell of rotten, decayed flesh really, *really* stays with you forever. It also makes it hard to read war stories where they describe what the smell of battlefields is like, because it reminds you of the smell of roadkill.
Wouldn't know, can barely smell.
I remember first hearing this urban myth when I was in 8th grade in 1971. The myth was: "An old guy in the next county bought a brand new Corvette in June drove home, parked in his garage and had a fatal heart attack and no one found him until Sep. The Corvette only had 33 miles, the whole interior was replaced, but the smell made the car unsellable."
"I don't think we put them in clothing"-2:58 only on myth buster can you see two dead pig dressed up slowly decomposing in a car
They should have put them in cops' uniforms.
I bet Jamie pulled that handbrake, or he is just a really nice guy.
@i don't believe in the sun if Jamie pulled it initially then he's the one who had to unpull it. Otherwise you find the guy who initially pulled it and tell them to do it. Unless you're a nice guy and just pull it so no one else has to suffer
I could also imagine that he was just like "Screw it, I'm not waiting around for someone else to do this."
Beware the quiet ones
I'm honestly still stunned they didnt realise they could just cut the e-brake cable. From outside the car
@@mycosys yeah, but that'll ruin the resale value... 😛😂
I probably should not have watched this one while eating dinner.
I almost did!!! Until I saw the thumbnail and knew exactly what episode he was going to talk about. And I thought, probably should save this until after I eat. Hahaha
I just watched this before I was going to make dinner - suddenly I'm not hungry anymore.

Hairy pudding for dinner?
I have some similar stories.
I worked on a turkey farm for 4 years. During my time there, another turkey farmer had passed away and we offered his family to take care of his livestock and the entire operation.
This guy regularly butchered some of his turkeys to sell in his wife's shop. Apparently, 2 weeks before he passed, he had slaughtered 8 birds but found something suspicious which the vet was supposed to take a look at.
The vet didn't show up in time, the farmer passed away and everyone forgot about that room with the decomposing birds in it.
We discovered this room only because of the stench that came from it. The carcasses were 6-7 weeks old by then.
It wasn't meant for storing meat so there was no refrigeration or cooling.
I wanted to take care of this situation so I put on a hazmat suit and a respirator mask (which I used when handling pesticides) and went in.
The entire room was full of insects and maggots. The floor was covered with blood that had turned brown and sticky and smeary. Body parts (from turkeys) were scattered everywhere. I'm not even going to try to describe the smell...
Fortunately, the floor and walls were tiled, which made the cleaning much easier. I got rid of the larger "chunks" first, used some strong cleaning-acid on all surfaces and cleaned out the rest with a pressure washer.
I was quite successful. This room is now used to store chemicals and pesticides (because of the tiled floor and walls) and no one knows what it used to look/smell like and what I had to go through. 😄
Ohh no that sounds so gross..
Lucky the other turkeys didnt get diseased and have to be killed and have the land quarantined
you’re a stronger man than me dude.
I cant add too much detail, but me and a couple friends were in the woods once just getting drunk, and one of my friends spotted a garbage bag. In a drunken fluster he ran and kicked it, field goal style. The bag made a deep thud/squish sound, and *the smell* hit us. Walked up with a flashlight out out curiosity and saw a CLEAR femur bone sticking out the side. I still smell that scent sometimes
@@davidn5770
Oof! Sounds creepy...
I'm assuming you reported that to the police, right?
Did they tell you anything about it afterwards?
I could relate to this story 100%. I used to do body removals in the funeral industry and I've done coroner's calls where the deceased had been dead for three months or so. Everything Adam says is SO accurate.
0:43 My brain is like, "Did Adam Savage just say 'Obvi'?" Yes. Yes he did.
obvio
Natch
He totes did!
What a sad day
So did the rental place notice any lingering odors when you returned the container?
This right here. I felt there would be an additional story with regards to his emphasizing that the container was rented.
Edit: Realistically, sandblasting, repainting, replacing floor boards.. would probably be enough. Maybe replacing the weather stripping.
@@trashpanda8437 shipping containers are corrugated steel with wood flooring. strip and repaint and install new floorboards like neoacario said and there'd be nothing left that could smell.
@@trashpanda8437 if the putrid is in a crack or something like that, pressurized steam should get rid of it. The actual metal physically cannot smell, so it's a matter of removing whatever contaminants are causing it from on and between the steel parts. Paint also acts as a barrier to any remnant odor. It might get through over time, but I think anyone renting a seacan during a hot summer should expect foul odors.
After pearl harbour they had exactly this situation abord multiple battleships, all but one of which were fixed up, cleaned of months of rotting human and food (the gasses from which actually killed a few men upon opening the meat freezer), and continued to operate for years. If the smell of death permeated those vessels (especially the galley) they wouldn't have kept using them for so long, even if only for crew moral.
@@wyattroncin941 In addition, if they had thought about it, they could have used a refrigerated container. Not for the refrigeration itself, but because those are used to transport, among other things, meat, and so are designed to be seriously hosed out and cleaned so that they can be re-used, even if there is blood from the mean involved.
@@rogerw5299 Would you buy meat from a truck that smells like Deaths camper van?
"Than to make a dead animal"
That sounds so weird in so many levels
I thought he meant "out of latex and wood" and now I realize he meant "by buying a farm animal and killing it"
"Nobody wants to die. People don’t mind being dead, being dead is great! But _getting_ dead... nobody wants to get dead."

BTW There's a German comedy series called "Der Tatortreiniger" (literally: "The crime scene cleaner"), which is outright hilarious. Don't know if it's available in English, but I guess there's a common theme among crime scene cleaners.
I think there's going to be a british remake with greg davies, let's hope it'll at least come close to the original
The was an Australian comedy about crime scene cleaners too.
Mr and Mrs Murder.
They tried to solve the crimes behind while they cleaned it up.
"there's a common theme among crime scene cleaners" .... So.... most of them were inspired by Pulp Fiction?
Reminds me of the game "Viscera Cleanup Detail"
@@revenevan11 Came here to say just that (even though I've not played it).
Am not disappointed to have been beaten to the punch..... _regardless_ of whether it was 9mos ago! lol
Oh man, I remember that episode. Two things stuck with me about that one that I think didn’t get mentioned here.
I remember someone mentioning that it was “raining” inside that car, my assumption being piggy condensation dripping back into the interior which is already horrifying on its own.
The second thing being how it ended, with a stressed out Jamie saying how he’d remember that experience for the rest of his life followed by the sound of a ghostly pig wail edited in right after he finished speaking.
And to think, this was EARLY Mythbusters. What a nice trip down memory lane (though I’ll bet not so much when it comes to remembering smells for everyone that was present there).
The 'rain' was the ammonia that condensed into a liquid on the roof. Once the cars door was open & cooler air got into the vehicle. Kind of like steam hitting the glass lid of a pot on the stove boiling.
It's a pitty that Karri wasn't part of the team at this stage - her reaction would have been *PRICELESS!* 🤣

Do you remember what season and episode it was
@@ogland6482 I believe these are listed by calendar year rather than seasons, so if it helps, it was Year 2003, Episode 7 “Stinky Car”.
Wow, as I type that, I can’t believe it’s been 17 years and this episode is still fresh in my mind. Time really does fly.
"What myth grossed you out the most?"
*Vietnam Flashbacks*
Its stories of these that makes me really wanna be cremated. Thinking about my dead body rotting (obviously I won't care by then) bothers me to think about now.
Same. That and it's waYYYYY less expensive. Embalming and coffins is such a scam
I read a while back about a service where they put your body in a sack full of fertilizer and a tree seed so that after you're buried you become an oak or an elm. Then a hundred or so years later you can become a table or a chest of drawers. That sounds nice. Continuity.
There's a big difference between rotting in the dirt and rotting in a sealed container. The latter is done in dry climates where there's no choice, you simply won't rot otherwise, you'll dry out into jerky and inevitably get dug up by scavengers.. and it aint pretty. but slowly returning to dirt? there's something poetic about that.
When I'm dead just throw me in the trash.
@@Dwayne_Bearup
Yup, I want to be a tree and have a bench next to it.
This episode was the very first Mythbusters I had ever watched and haven't seen it since then, but listening to Adam describe this with such great detail really amazes me with the memory he has. It brought back good memories of my first Mythbusters experience. Like all of you reading this, I've been a lifelong fan since my first episode.
now, come on, if you were there, experiencing THAT, you would never be able to forget it either, I am convinced.
Even as he was retelling it you could tell he was getting vivid flashbacks.
Somehow I don’t think anyone could ever forget the minutiae of a situation like that.
0:04 you can see the the memories flood back into his head.
You can see the wave of disgust running through his face. It's *palpable.*
The lot where that ‘Vette was cleaned out is now someone’s ground floor apartment. Wonder if they have any clue?
Probably not.
Don't forget about the pigs buried in the sidewalk, too ;-)
@Nedd Flanders it would be the worst thing In the world to bring up when selling land. "Oh by the way, under the pavement are two dead pigs."
Lord knows there's no chance that there's a strip mall on a Native American cemetery...

"Now, what will it take to get you into that bad boy right here?" *slaps seat, releasing dead pig smell*
This reminds me of my forensics class in high school. One part of the class was determining how long dead animals had been decomposing based off the state of decomposition and most importantly how the maggots/larvae developed. 10/10 good class

One of my favorite episodes! "Myth Confirmed" as I remember because the ammonia destroyed every electric and interior component on the Vette and only the engine was salvaged!
I remember sitting on the couch with my wife the night that episode aired. I told her no corvette is worth dealing with that smell. Especially a C4
C4 might be the best solution to the Mythbusters corvette.
@@FLPhotoCatcher I think it would have violated California's EPA laws. Not the blowing up of the car - pretty sure they would have been fine with that one. But blowing up the dead pigs inside the car - yah I don't think they'd have allowed that one.
Well as Jaime would say
"when in doubt, C4"
Give's new meaning to Adam's opening words of Myth Busters "Do not try any of the experiments you are about to see at home."
I remember that “died in the car” story going around when I was in high school, and the word was it was a Corvette. We talked about it for weeks.
“You would hate your tongue forever!” 😂
ROTFLMAO! 🤣 It's a pitty that Karri wasn't part of the team at this stage - her reaction would have been *PRICELESS!* 🤣

Yeah, I think Adam's right. I would need a life changing amount of money for a life changing parting with a sensory organ.
Cutting off the tongue probably would never get off the table :(.
That guy was nuts! Adam could die from that🤢 Gross gross eeewww eeewww eeewww!
"Jamie was sitting among the pigs" is the most hilarious and dubious statement I've heard all month ! That killed me :')
lol 😂
There was an old man, in my home town, that died in his house. Nobody noticed until they smelled him ... across the road. They later sold the house to a friend of mine. He had to remodel the living room to get the old man out of the floor.
Heh. I bet the old man didn't actually die on the floor, but he uhhhh eventually _became_ the floor.
That episode was one of the three or four things that literally put me on the floor laughing. It still makes me laugh to think about it. Everyone's reactions to the smell were priceless because they were real. I became a loyal MythBuster viewer with that episode. Just glad I wasn't there for the filming.

I've recently started watching the show from the beginning thanks to a friend saving all the episodes after they first aired. I had seen the occasional episode before, but now I'm watching in order without missing one. This was the most recent episode I watched so it's fresh in my mind. All I can say is that I'm glad I was nowhere within ten blocks of this as it was happening.
I REALLY REALLY REALLY just love how i stop by this channel and get to GORGE on new information that I didnt know, or think i needed to know, of definitely did NOT need to know. Its like the best parts of books that, aint nobody got time for, in short form. Just excellent. Thanks GOODNESS for Adam and Tested.🔥🤯🔥
Adam describing why they couldn't pull the car back out of the truck: "and then we pulled the emergency break". Queue hysterical laughter from me
Of course, that also says something about their supposed problem solving skills if they couldn't remove a car from a shipping container without having to climb inside and pull the emergency brake (not 'break')...
@@jakeblanton6853 - The thing is, it is by far the easiest solution.
@@petlahk4119 no, no it really really isnt. Theres a cable hanging under the car you can just cut to release the e-brake.
@@KunoMochi What is wrong with getting one or two trolley jacks and raising the rear wheels up clear of the container floor? Once the car is near the end of the floor you now have extra room under the car to cut the cable if you still want to.

"You would hate your tongue for the rest of your life."
Best line ever!!!
3:25 "We further hid the car inside a 20 foot truck container that we rented....we RENTED it."
I kind of feel like, with the emphasis, there's more to the story at THAT exact point, and it was glossed over.
OMG, I remember that episode so vividly!!!! When I saw the title of this episode I already knew the answer... So when you said it my friends were like "you watched this video already!" I had NOT. As you were telling the story I was literally crying I was laughing so hard!!!! Thank you for these..I love them!!!!! MB was my all time favorite TV show. I hated that it ended and have watched everything you have done since then!!! I hope you never stop!

We would hook a chain around the head and drag it to an area in one of the fields behind some trees that was far enough away that even if the wind was blowing directly from there towards the house, we could not smell it -- probably around 1500 ft. It didn't seem to take all that long for there just to be bones left on the ground and even those tended to have been scattered at bit from the various scavengers...
"You asked!"

& now we wish that you hadn't!
I want to make viewing this video my holiday tradition from now on.
I absolutely love this. The episode was great too. As Adam was describing it I could literally see the episode in my Mind.
I didn't know what I expected, but this story is equally hilarious and disgusting. Thank you so much for sharing these precious moments with us!!
That episode was aired when I was a young kid and at the time I found it hilarious. I remember you guys wearing gas masks and still trying your best not to hurl. By far one if not the most rememberable episodes of myth busters.
I love hearing these stories so long after i watched the episode back when I was a child.
I would have thought The Mythbusters would have thought to just cut the emergency brake cable UNDER the car.
They were gonna have to get in the car anyway, to clean it out....
Well they had to see if they could seel the car and nobody wants a car with a cut emergency brake cable
@@Dwayne_Bearup They wouldn't have to sit in the pigs if they could remove them first.
@@thenewseorarek9625 If the Mythbusters can't arrange to have a cut emergency brake cable replaced, something is terribly wrong.
Wow! I seen all the episodes, I can't remember, I will have to search for this one. Thanks
Adam is such a good storyteller. Being able to make something as gruesome as this so funny I'm in tears is pure magic. I think doing a book where he gathers all the questions from these lockdown ask Adam videos (and maybe additional FAQs and his own or friends/family members questions) would be an absolute gem of a book! Maybe we all should e-mail the Tested team just to get the idea out there. I really think it could make a fantastic (audio)book.
As soon as I saw the title I knew it was gonna be the pigs 😂
I was the same. I remember that episode and had vivid memories of watching it and laughing at their reactions.
classic
Yah I saw the thumbnail & my mind instantly replayed the entire myth in my head. & it was all I could do not to hurl. 🤢🤮
I knew it would be the pigs or the earwax candle episode
Reminds me of when my uncle used to go around salvage yards, he found an old Corvette of the same body style that had been in a bad wreck. There was a decent amount of blood still staining the interior, but the best find in the car was a Rolex stuffed between the seats that still had a bit of flesh in the band from when it got ripped off the guy's wrist. Nothing a bit of 90% iso won't fix.
As terrible as it sounds, I can relate. One of the strongest memories from my youth was working in a state trauma center as a 21 year old where one of my many unpleasant responsibilities was to move expired patients down to Clinical Eval (i.e. the morgue). We had an active helipad at this facility and I can't tell you how many bad car accidents came off the roads that prospective patients were in so poor a condition that we had to have someone follow us with a mop, and this was about as far as you could travel within the public areas of the facility, as the pad was on the roof and the ER on the ground floor through a labyrinth of hallways and corridors.
Anyway, one particularly hot summer, an elderly woman had gone to the grocery store at the far end of the facility's grounds that shared a parking lot to get her medications. She ended up parking on a side of the building least traversed as it was near the dumpster and loading dock area. It had been in the upper 90s/low 100s for a few weeks, high humidity, etc., so I suspect no one noticed the aroma coming from a particular green Lincoln until visible signs began to form on the windshield.
I'll leave out the graphic details as I'm sure your imagination will fill in the gaps, but I assure you, that is one smell that will forever remain in memory, as no amount of seals between the door and a body cooler will contain it.
Ah, what an amazing, yet oh so wrong episode that was! I distinctly remember the expert turning down any kind of respirator, while everyone else was struggling to avoid the foulness in full protective gear. XD
he knew it wouldn't help lol
I already knew the answer but still watched because I love me some Adam savage
Amazingly this is making me want to rewatch this episode in full right now.
Literally just started to re-watch MythBusters and I just love something that happened in the first Season to this day still has an effect on you!
Absolutely delightful! I love hearing the stories of all the crazy things you have seen and done. I could listen all day. 💕
One of if not the best testimonial I've ever seen 😅
I did not see the episode, but I had a good laugh listening to you tell the story. Thanks!
Adam often makes me laugh on his videos, but this is hands down the absolute hardest I have ever laughed at an Adam story. Thank you for sharing this.
I liked Adam when he always say "The myth is...". I feel like I'm still in college back in 2007.
As a forensics osteology focused human I cannot describe what it’s like to first see decomp for the first time. Also when I first started volunteering labeling in the dermestid beetle lab, my advisor took my into a separate shed in the back, shut the door, amd asked how are you feeling. I said I felt fine and he said good, this should be the worst enclosed smell you deal with. Then he started pulling full cougars and snakes out of a freezer to show what the backlog was like. I loved that place
I honestly feel bad for that Corvette.
This is literally the funniest thing ever.
That was a great story.
hmm
You should watch more comedy. This is a good story but it's got nothing on the greats of stand up.
As opposed to the figuratively funniest thing ever?
wife just came down the hall to find out why I was laughing hysterically
Adam is SUCH a good story teller!
I'm 33 Years old, I watched this episode as a teen, and remember it clearly. Adams explanation of the episodes has me in stitches Oh My Goodness!!!
Hey Jamie, for future projects (although I hope you do not find yourself in a similar situation) a parking brake can be released from under the car, provided it has a handle. newer cars have a system with a electronic motor. but if it has a traditional handle or a pedal (like many trucks) you can crawl under the car and release the brake
$5 says _someone_ present that day knew this useful little fact, but chose to keep quiet!
That was a great episode. And spoiler.... They managed to sell the car.
well,, they sold some of the car...
i need to see this episode! I knew I must have missed some. used to watch it as a kid when it was on tv
Barely!
Yes, and it still smelled, probably it is still today or whatever spare parts they got from it.
I think it was Jamie who was able to sell it for parts
The worst thing I ever experienced at work was the sewer lines backing up through the store's floor drains. I'm pretty sure that can't even come close to comparing to these pigs, and it was still too much for me. I lasted for 45 minutes, maybe an hour of my shift before I was done. I found my boss and I didn't ask to go home, I told them I was going home.
Holy crap that is the funniest story ive heard in a long time! Thank you so much for sharing that! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was the episode that hooked me on Mythbusters. High as hell in a college dorm.
I really wish that they hadn't censored the scene. I was really curious to see it.
Americans can't handle that kind of stuff!! Our government daddy protects us and would rather have us watch Snooky and the Situation smash!!
I can't believe he forgot it was a Corvette. It's one of the most memorable episodes.
I miss watching the show love your videos. I would love to work on myths and crazy things you guys do. Love the channel I’m glad I found it. It’s currently 2:05 am here in upstate NY. I wish the show was still on. I grew up watching myth busters
Who else watched that episode when it aired 17 years ago. It was fantastic.
My favorite show to watch in my 20s
I'll always remember the image of Adam tearing the pine-tree car deodorizer off of the rear-view mirror, furiously complaining. "This is completely useless!"
Neil from crime scene cleaners is still very active and very popular on Instagram, one of my favourites!
I love you man! Totally enjoying these.
Every time this shows up in my feed I have to watch it again.
I remember almost wetting myself laughing watching that episode, with all the retching and gagging it was hilarious. By the way they couldn't get the smell out of the car.
Personally I want to know if they managed to get the smell out of the container.
it would probably be possible to get the smell out at some point.. but that could take a while..
@@TheUltimateRare an ozone generator would do the trick. But you might need to let it run long enough it'll start making plastic, leather, etc discoloured and maybe brittle.
@@Marc83Aus that sounds correct.
My favorite part of that episode was when they were told that the smell could, in fact, be removed, but it would require near complete disassembly and would be more cost effective to just buy a new car...

Best quote ever.
I reject your reality and substitute my own.
@@chosela2488 Am I missing an eyebrow?
Adam, I have spent 23 years of my life in law enforcement. Your story give me flashbacks... as awful as it is, us cops/firefighters/medics/coroner investigators have dealt with worse. Give us in the industry a prayer or three - there is a reason why society's heros are the most broken and in need of help.
That was the first episode of Mythbusters I'd ever seen; it got me interested in watching more. I miss that show.
OMG!!! I haven't laughed this hard since Mythbusters was still on the air!
