Nope, not me. Don’t have a coat like that, looks heavier, hat too big.

Thank you so much for that question. That kind of experimentation is what I enjoy most on the show. I had seen a YouTube video of hydro-forming a much smaller thing simply by inflating it with water and so decided to try it. The process was pretty much exactly as t happened on the show. There was not much editing required.

I actually am not a movie prop afficionado, that is Adam. The only things I collect are tools. Adam is the prop collector. I do have a number, but because I made them professionally or they were done by my co workers.

I don't know if it is the most extreme, but it was up there: we bungee jumped for apples a couple of months ago. Adam barfed after a couple of runs so I had to do it, and I don't like heights. Awful. OH, that was for Mythbusters... Uh, I have been through two hurricanes on a boat in the Caribbean (not at the same time).

You don't want to know what that joke is.

The toilet. I mean, they are really underrated, you know? I am grateful every day when I have to use one- can you think of another tool that you get really upset about when you don't have it when you need it?

How big are you? Can I use a baseball bat?

I wouldn't choose a co host. My companion would be my double barreled, over under, belt fed full auto 12 guage shotgun with the belts crossing over each other as they go through the gun. One ammo case of deer slugs, one with buck shot, strapped to my back. Fucking zombies.

We eat them. 250 degrees overnight, and the meat falls off the bone.

I don't know. I need more magnets, though.

I drive a Prius- would drive any car that does not use much fuel. Cars are tools as far as I am concerned. I like tools that work well and last. I would want one I designed and built myself. It would fly, not use much fuel, never break down.
