Adam saying he "doesn't really get sea sick" at 24:45 is pretty jokes considering his history in later episodes😂
Scottie's one of the best members of Mythbusters and somehow forgotten along the lines, lol. Along with Christine.

I had a crush on Christine in my childhood
24:49 Adam; “I don’t get carsick. I don’t really get seasick.” Adam, you were either lying or you had no idea just how untrue that would turn out to be.
1:17 Nice of Jamie and Christine to pop into the shot.
After a little research I discovered that Gerald Gray passed away in 2020, after a lifetime caring for and advocating for the victims of torture. Rest well big guy, you did good while you were here.
Kari is INSANE for doing water torture while being restrained, I'm actually a little shocked that Adam was the one who was able to sit freely in his chair while Kari did the whole wooden board, chains, and helmet setup. Even more crazy that she wanted to KEEP DOING IT... Thank god the paramedics noticed her body language before she let herself get to a point of literal mental breaking. That woman deserves a medal of honor for going through what she does in this show

37:29 as soon as Kari says she doesn’t want to do it, Tori says to get her out, he doesn’t even hesitate. I think he and Scottie were both feeling very concerned by this stage.
Blown away is a running gag in the Hollywood hocuspocus factorys. Nice episode.

“Factorys”?
In a bit of trivia, Adam's said they later got a nameless e-mail stating that the sender(s) had successfully induced a psychotic break with water torture after 20 hours by randomizing the drop pace to make it impossible to predict. Understandably he was very creeped out about it.
im looking away and hear "the M4 is loaded with a 9mm bullet" and im like what? so i had to look incase is one of those cali conversions and realize thats not M4 but a MP5 xD so who ever wrote that script to the narrator has no clue about the guns they used xD

I really thought in the beginning Adam pointed the gun to his head.. and I think Jamie thought so too. 😂
I've been waiting for this one!
I've been wanting to watch this one for so long
Hot take: Scottie really added something to the team. They should've kept her for the later seasons team too.

M4 9mm exists, but this is the strangest looking M4 ive ever seen
get a 4 bore and the target with a 1 inch AR500 plate. there you got your flying backwards.kinda for more you need a canon
Testing water torture might have been one of the stupidest things they ever did. I mean for gods sake its TORTURE. They should have outright refused to test it.
9:56 up to this time, the Pig Position got me Triggered, they havent show it yet, but im pretty sure is not mounted right
why use water to simulate bugs when you can torture with bugs?

I’m still wondering what a “physic” is.
While the Hollywood fly backs are pure fiction and physical laws are obeyed, the shooter might not experience the same backward motion than the one being shot. Usually, the shooter does not shoot with a stiff arm or shoulder. The handgun will flip the arm up, dissipating part or the energy. The shoulder will be shoved back by the recoil. Guns also can be designed to take some of the recoil, having shock-absorbing parts build in, using that power to cycle the bullets, blowing out gases via the muzzle break, etc. To get a (more or less) full transfer of power, the target has to be unable to dissipate that power. You would need a ballistic vest with padding and hard layers to get as much force into the person. Too soft and it will go into the padding, too hard and it will just go into the exploding projectile. It seem like they did a poor job fastening the vest to Buster. There is a lot of space between the vest and Busters chest, thus a lot of power is lost and not transferred to Buster. It would have been fun to see them step it up. A .50cal has a lot of power when stopped by a vest. Or bigger, heavier bullets. Elephant guns with a brass solid, or even a 4bore. But all that transfer would not happen when it is used on an unprotected person. As seen in the first experiments, it would "just" penetrate or even go through. You will not be thrown back, you will just die standing there, crumpling, bleeding out, not able to breath. For all the fun you can have with guns when used safely, they are still weapons meant to kill other humans.
Tory, buster lost brother
Whenever i'm at a party i don't like staying near the speakers because when i eat and the speakers are playing loud music it upsets my stomache
9:26 How can the two "range supervisors" allow people to stand like this and shoot? Just a flinch or loss of balance and she shoots jamie in the neck or arm.

Huh? Are you serious? Due you not know how perspective works? They're standing in a straight line and it only seems like Scottie's rifle barrel is right next to Jamie's hand/neck due to the camera position.
32:46 And it is this awareness that makes this experiment pointless
I don't like this episode, because Kari was actually pretty upset

Vegetarians are different from vegans. Vegetarians usually are just averse from the meat of the animal, they generally still eat eggs and dairy and by extension still use other non food animal products. Vegans on the other hand are completely repulsed from the consumption of any animal products. In short: Vegetarian is a dietary choice while vegan is a lifestyle.

@@harlequinems seeing how she reacts to raw meat, it might be things like texture issues or historical cause (both can cause physical nausea). Even outside that as most of the leather produced comes from animals slaughtered for meat or those that got too old for milking there are a lot of vegetarians that rationalise it as a byproduct thing. Even within eating meat there are some people who consider themselves vegetarians however will try dishes that have meat in them, just don't purchase it for their own consumption or go out of their way for it when they have other options (trying a friends' meal at a restaurant, or taste testing cooking in the role of a chef)

Seriously 😂😂 kari is a bit of a drama queen, she's a celebrity and getting shit tons of money and fully knows she's in no danger and still turned the tears on??!! Well I suppose she's an actress for a reason, if this was being done to you by people that have no concern for your well-being and in fact want to hurt you and you weren't on a TV show but hidden in some dungeon away from help and weren't getting payed big bucks yeah I can see how this would get to someone but seriously I would be like Adam in this situation and would find it hard to be upset while thinking about my rad life and all the awesome shit I'm gonna buy 😂

Adam was in no discomfort at all. For her the restraints and discomfort were real. Being in a constant state of physical strain and not being able to move or scratch an itch or do a single thing is an important factor to how effective it is. People have cried for far less, so nah fam you're just a clown.

Oh man, you get soo many things wrong!! First. Kari it´s not an actress. She is a builder and a model maker. We are in season two, and if you have a look to the videos of season one you can find her pulling a rope o wielding a brush in the background. Second, she was not a celebrity at this point (that would change in former seasons), she was a nobody in her first contract, so most probably she was paid peanuts.

even having arms restrained above your head can have that effect on people. Not to mention that being unable to move for prolonged periods of time can be very bad for health. strangest things can cause panic in individuals and many fears are illogical. She clearly had a panic attack. Doesn't make anyone a drama queen.
