When Adam talked about communicating across species boundaries, i turned around to where one of our cats. She heard me turning around, we slow blinked each other, assuring us everything is fine and she went back to sleep. Yup. Totally agree.

I can't help but feel like in that moment when you look the octopus in the eye and it squirts water at you, it feels like it's trying to communicate something along the lines of "I see you friend, I know you see me too" and that's just an incredible feeling

I was incredibly jealous of you for getting to fly the U2, if I recall you and Jamie were gonna flip for it but he saw how excited you were and just gave it to you which says plenty about his character. I'm glad you enjoyed the F-18 flight because you seemed to spend a lot of it puking!

This was one of my favorite answers yet. This was a fun ride down memory lane.

Fun fact: the U2 plane Wikipedia says the ceiling is 70,000 feet showing how classified it really is.

I can listen to Adam talk about things all day. The level of passion he speaks about everything with is so awesome!

I highly recommend the documentary "My Octopus Teacher" on Netflix. It's about a marine biologist who befriended an octopus while studying a kelp forest.

Man this is just beautiful. As an aircraft mechanic I would have said the U 2 flight but you got me with the octopus storyline. I love nature too. Just amazing.

Connection is a beautiful thing, especially when it's unexpected.

It was fun hearing Adam's experience with sharks. I've been fascinated by sharks since I was a young kid and it's one of my life long dreams to swim with them. I find them to be one of the most beautiful and misunderstood creatures there is. They're also surprisingly smart for a fish.

Anyone remotely interested in these amazing creatures should watch “my octopus teacher” a beautiful film that (deservedly) won the academy award for best documentary.

New bucket list item! love Octopods!

Correct. Alumnus, alumni. That's Latin. The octopus has Greek origins, octo- meaning 8 and -pus meaning foot. The plural is indeed octopodes. I'd pronounce it ok-to-poh-deez but we have no idea what they would have said.

I love this video

That octopus story was so captivating that after the video I scrolled down to the comments and only then remembered that there was something about a U-2 in the beginning as well.

Reminds me of visiting a zoo, walked up to a tiger enclosure and this one tiger just locked eyes with me, came to the front of the enclosure and just started pacing up and down, never breaking eye contact. Never has a double-chain link fence looked so flimsy. Seeing a tiger on TV is one thing, having one stare you down from about 8 feet away gave me a whole new appreciation of the words "Apex Predator". Then it pressed it's ass against the fence and sprayed me with wee-wee. Not the most majestic end to an incredible encounter... but very few people can say they've been peed on by an Albino Tiger.

Adam: "I've always loved octopuses." Me: [Looking at my octopus necklace, octopus keychain, two octopus dresses, and 4 plush octopuses on my bed] "Yes, me too."

Hearing Adam talk about all this experiences feels like talking with a friend about good old times. I am 40 years now and i think i saw every episode of MB over the years and i realy can say i enjoyed them all. Thx Adam for the good times. I cant imagine how it must have been to do all these exiting and weird stuff, but it was always entertaining (and not at least edjucating) to watch you doing them. 😎👍

Envy....... Adam and Jamie has done so many incredible things. I absolutely will always love this show. Such unbelievable experiences! Hmmm, maybe someday, I’ll try to feed a octopus......😅

The flights of fantasy episode is my uncompromised favorite. I'll never forget the moment the U2 rolled for take off, and blessed be your sound engineer for using Ninja Tracks song Eon.... was just surreal. And the chase cars being Pontiac G8s, which I own, just made the episode that much more special.

I'm super jelly of u going on the U-2

Always cool seeing video of what looks like a rock underwater, and then it pops up and swims away because it was an Octopus in full camouflage mode trying to hide in plain sight. They can change their skin texture, not just color… that’s so weird, and so cool!

Introverts - I love your Octopi discussion. Your enthusiasm is great (from someone your age). I will get the plural correct eventually, but the language I am learning does not have plurals

@@jeremiahmason6127 Because launches to orbit can be detected and, once detected, can be easily tracked and times identified when they will be over sensitive areas. The U2 (and SR-71) have the advantage of taking off without notice and being over specific areas of interest without being detected. Any knowledge of the capabilities of such planes (max altitude, speed, time aloft, etc.) would degrade this advantage.

I was able to hand feed a baby octopus at the Seattle Aquarium when I was younger and it is one of my favorite things I've done as well. I would love to meet an adult octopus.

your story about interacting with an "alien" consciousness in the form of an octopus gives me hope for humanity, I struggle daily with interacting with coworkers, whose view of reality is so alien to my perception that I sometimes lose hope for our species, maybe, if you can connect with a different species I can find a way to connect with my own species no matter how alien their view of reality. thanks Adam as always you inspire in ways you don't foresee.

When you're Alt is classified . Basically means you're in space. The sr71 was above 70k all the time. And most Lockheed products all go above 70k .. too the moon.

This whole video, Adam's conclusions and the story about the octopus, brought tears to my eyes. Faith in humanity is restored when feeling like this.

FYI, "octopodes" is pronounced "OC-to-poads", to rhyme with "toads", not "oc-TI-po-dees", to rhyme with "knees". The pronunciation comes from the Greek root word "pous" meaning "foot", which pluralises to "podes" for feet, pronounced "PO-th-es" with a short "o" and "e" sound, to rhyme with "yes". Having said that, "octopuses" is perfectly fine in general conversation, it's certainly more correct than "octopi" which unaccountably mixes a Greek root word with a Latin suffix (although again, it's a perfectly fine word to use in general conversation.)

Adam sticks his arm in the Pacific octopus tank. Keep in mind there are no native gingers in the Pacific. Octopus be like, oh that's a new flavor of human, DELICIOUS!!!!!

Damn savage: octopus approved.

I said do you speak ah my language. He smiled and just tested my hand yeah.

He's absolutely right about the plural of octopus. Octopus is a Greek word and 'i' is a Latin suffix and you never append a Latin suffix to a Greek root. So yes it's either octopuses or octopodes (oc-top-o-dees) never octopi. 😂(sorry I'm autistic and love octies, they're totes amazeballs!)

This is probably the Adam Savagiest answer ever.

I love this story. Reminds me when I use to scuba in North Vancouver, BC. More often than not I'd find a Octopus hiding in between rocks... just look for the broken shells was the trick. Such an odd feeling when the touch you. The tentacle is like one large muscle pulling you in closer. I only took one opportunity to touch it, as I was told it can be stressfull on these creatures. Thanks for sharing Adam :)

As far as the octopus issue goes, the origin of the word is Greek, and some people applied latin rules to pluralize it, hence octopi. To avoid mixing grammars inappropriately, one should use the Greek plural, octopode, or the English plural, octopuses.

@@ApocolypseZombie Octopus isn't really from either - it's a bit of medieval English fanfiction, where they made up a name based on a mixture of Latin and Greek. In Greek, the word for octopus was polypous (πολύπους), with two accepted plurals: polypodes, and polypoi (cognate with Latin polypi and, going with the more modern octo- prefix, English octopi). Not only is there a point where the correct answer is to stop being pedantic, but both versions are perfectly acceptable from a historic standpoint. Add to that, language isn't a thing that's set in stone and defined by ISO standards, so if most people say and write octopi, that's the correct plural form.
