Doing things "the MythBusters way" usually spells trouble... on a titanic scale.
S1 E15Unfinished Business
It's audacious. It's ludicrous. It's... MythBusters.
I think it's about a 10% chance of the whole thing falling down, about a 40% chance of Buster actually flying any distance, and the other 50% is Buster going "FOOM!" right in front of the thing.
[commenting on the amount of destruction] Hey Adam, would you say it's safe to say that there won't be a second shot?
Myth totally failed. Completely busted. Totally, completely busted.
And Buster: busted. And boomlift: busted.
And everything's busted.
Ground:
busted.
MythBusters.
Breaking big things for science, every day.
[One of the crew members' phone rings; cast and crew crack up]
NASA can put a man on the moon.
But can the MythBusters find a needle in a haystack?
That means the first stop is a hay store.
Uh, otherwise known as a farm.
Ah, the hay store.
Its funny, because if you asked me to pick out what you would think of as your traditional, y'know, "movie-type" hay, I would point to the straw.
Traditional "movie hay?"
Yeah, y'know, like the people are always getting stuck in a hay bale or rolling in the hay, or whatever they do in the movies? Thats what I would think of as hay.
Having a roll in the hay with your girlfriend?
Yeah... don't get all red-faced.
Do you see his [Jamie's] machine working? It's like Dante's Inferno over there!
I can see the cut now, "Hey! We'll be drinking mimosas in an hour or two."...
[in a flashback clip] We'll be, like, sipping mimosas on the beach...
...Cut to, "6 hours later, Adam's team is still going at it."
6 hours later, Adam's team is still going at it.
"They've found two needles..."
They've found two needles...
"But still have the smallest needle and the bone needle to go."
But still have the smallest needle and the bone needle to go.
This is adding some magnets to the front end of our feed trough. These are super strong neodymium magnets. And see if we can't pick the needle out at the very beginning.
You just had your finger on it!
Good idea. Jamie thought of it ages ago.
All right, so I think my faulty wiring of the faulty wiring is no longer faulty, so that it's correctly faulty.
Yet again we're blowing things up in front of my shop. And not only that but there are noxious chemicals involved which will probably leave a residue over the whole block and, um... I guess it's okay. I'm getting used to it. So are the neighbors.
Time to take stock. Model house — check. Potentially explosive bug bomb — check. Various open flames and electrical sparks — check. What could possibly go wrong?
