Tory really wore those bras with confidence. what a guy
15:35 That screw repeatedly not going in properly is a pain we've all felt, and it's just there as a filler shot and goes unacknowledged.
About 3 years later, enter Barney Ross (Stallone) as an action hero with a beret and moustache in the Expendables.

The fact there is a whole cartridge flying out of the gun😂 2:07
That was the best explosion we've ever donnnnnnneeeeee (every episode)
Gasoline on a cool metal plate vs on a hot, black road surface should make quite a bit of difference to how much vapor there is available for flame propagation.

Good point!
I think you should've tested with a thick line of black powder because in the shop it made a huge difference
It's always funny when they poke fun at Jamie's age, but he's actually younger than my parents.

The joke isn't about his actual physical age, it's about the old fashioned nature of his mannerisms and personality traits.

9:22 Did the voice-over guy just refer to a defibrillator as a "heart starter"? I thought this was a science show. A defibrillator STOPS the heart, it does not restart it.

bruh the show was marketed to children to get them excited about STEM fields. there is a bunch of shit in this show that isn't 'science'. It's just fun. Also a defibrillator *is* meant to restart your heart. The narrator isn't trying to spread misinformation lmfao
out of all of them im surprised at which one died. rip

Which country? 67 countries have English as an official language, and that’s not counting those who have English as the ubiquitous language so it doesn’t need to be made official. (lol sorry to be pedantic but it’s the internet, right? I agree though, what a language!) Oh, edit to give this context: I’m from a non-American, English-speaking country where English is not an official language. Yet.

The look on Jamie's face at 17:06
that black poweder line is way to carefully placed. a western bandit wouldnt be that careful.
I clearly remember watching this on TV and they had the powder barrel on a robot and drove it down the boards as a finale, you can even see it in the background when they do the summary.
Should've tried mixing the gasoline with the Black powder
We got the movie car explosion just from leaving a 4x2 on the accelerator after blowing the gearbox, caught on fire then kaboom just like the movies.
Damn Jamie, I didn't know you were built like that xD 18:22
27:29 sry...but did he ment it?! that he was driving so slow, that the speedometer didn't catched how slow?! I mean...at least in europe, they even show walking speed... (I'm neuro-atypical, so please, I'm serious xD )
The making of sum of the best arsonists😂....or worst
It would really surprise me in the kegg did not explode…. How else would a canon go of ?
I think if they had a thicker line of gunpowder they wouldn't be able to catch up

If you think you’ll have any clothing on during a code blue you’re crazy (at least in the US). The code team has to be 100% sure there’s not an unseen injury.

I would really doubt that, the vapour would blow away and be less flammable like the initial experiments.
