*I don't think I have to tell you how much this conversation meant to me.* Adam is a font of wisdom, and I'm honored and delighted to call him a friend. Make sure to watch the other half of our collab! ua-cam.com/video/3qOJakmE7Pk/v-deo.html
I don't think we have to tell you how much this meant to us. Felt like I was sitting there with a lot of what you said. You asked and discussed pretty much everything I'd have wanted to, and the depth of his responses were amazing.
Keep it up Kyle, if nothing else you have the same infectious enthusiasm for learning that Adam has. Do what comes naturally and you're sure to make an impact.
i know you dont like hugs normally. how did you feel with THE Adam Savage?
Mate, I love this so much. I enjoy you both so thoroughly, and to watch you both ruminate on your careers and relationships, and so much more, is such a pleasure and is incredibly insightful. Thank you for sharing your skills, insight, and gifts with us, and for sharing your story. Who am I to say this, but it makes me so happy to see you do so well in this life, and I wish you continued success and joy.
speaking of branching out in new directions, I'm growing mycelium parts for a quarter-scale Gundam come spring time, y'all want in?
This was an amazing day. Thanks for coming up to SF to play, Kyle!
I've got 4000 miles on my Pint. I have you to thank for that because I first heard of the onewheel from you! Thank you!
2 of my Science heroes, together once again. Beautiful
Amazing conversations and I basically feel like Kyle does when he talks about being affected by someone. I also work on my own art (or try to when I have time and the luxury and the space) and feel the same excitement way you say you mentioned about discovering something new when doing project after project. Unfortunately the industry I feel I would love to just do project after project like you do isn't very friendly to accepting requests from unknowns to have remixes of their original music. My first one that I tried to do was rejected and that hit pretty hard, so I did kinda put that passion on the back burner because of it.
Regardless, thank you for having this conversation and for your previous recent videos where you mention your excitement for learning new things! You both are my inspiration for always wanting to learn something new even if I won't every get to do it myself
I thank you for your sharing your sharing with Kyle, you are decidedly different, and yet so much the same... I have a "chicken or egg" question for you both: What comes first... doing or learning?
I had always wondered how Jamie got on television as he is not the traditional television tv personality. He had a shop that was ready to go and that was the reason he got on TV. Fascinating.
"you should never meet your heros" unless it's Adam Savage because he's a gift to humanity.
I'm not quite so sure this saying covers such a vast expanse as it once did. These days a lot of "our heroes" engage _a lot_ in bidirectional audience dialog, and with screentime not being so incredibly finite and costly, they engage and tell their stories far more off the cuff. And there's so much more view into their person and mind through reflection and banter.
All this to say, there's of course some truth to the idea still - but overall, I think today we usually have a much fuller and neuanced picture of who and what our heroes really are. So meeting them is not nearly as high risk. This is an area in which the age of general public internet access, online /digital publication and social media has truly enabled great changes.
Or Mr Hill.
My response to this saying these days is as always "Pick better heroes" if that is truly how someone feels. I love both these guys and everything they stand for ❤
@@pr0xZen plus the same technology that makes celebrities visible to us also makes celebrity accessible to so many people. You can become famous from YT or any of these social media. So you have a lot more options, and many of them are rdgular down to Earth people.
Haha couldn't of said it better!
I'm seeing how much older Adam looks and its setting in how long he has been in the public eye as a science communicator, he has brought so much to this community.
💙
About 20 years, I grew up with this man's career as a science communicator
Edit: Kyle is almost the same age Adam was when Mythbusters started
Not to be mean, but you can't compare the two. Kyle seems more of a follower and fanboy. Infact he even admitted it himself that he's so generic he needs a woman's hairstyle to stand out.
@@flyingfrog7847 of yt science communicators kyle is fairly unique, even without the hair
@@flyingfrog7847 Kyle has his own style of educating. It's different from Adam, but that doesn't make it worse. Adam has his own gimmicks, too. The gimmicks GRAB the attention, but the content KEEPS it.
As far as impact goes, Adam has had a significant impact on my younger years, but Kyle you had an impact on my choice of switching from a desk job to a science teacher! I am grateful to you for reintroducing purpose into my life 😊
Best praise I can possibly get -- I'm sure Adam would agree. Thank you for sharing that with me.
UA-cam isn't known for its quality comments but this one is amazing. In fact, Kyle, your comments feeds are remarkably civil and I'd chalk that up to your simply doing good work and attracting the right people. Best of luck Sabine. I'm sure you'll deliver the same great passion to your students.
Teaching is one of the most rewarding and difficult things you can do. Bravo man! I dont have the patience for it but both my parents are teachers and I hope to one day get my PhD and teach engineering at the college level after some lab experience (currently just starting my career at a desk 😴)
Wow ❤
Man, what I love about Adam is how very much he is in the moment, for every single person he talks to. He never gives you the same spiel twice, so very time there's an interview with him, it's something new and interesting. Great video Kyle.
Grant's passing was a real kick in the butt for Adam.
Dude this... the genuine nature of him as a person not just a pubic figure is awesome.
In a few videos on Tested, he's talked about when and why this changed for him.
Basically, though he loved meeting fans, the meet and greets after the Mythbusters tour were completely exhausting. He figured out that by not pulling back and trying to distance himself from the people, if he gave into it, not only did it make the experience better for them, it made it better for him, too. The time flew by, and it stopped being exhausting. So he's just absorbed it into his being now.
Hey kyle I just wanted to let you know that you help keep pushing forward when I feel like my autism holds me back. You help me remember that despite the issues I can face I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you for the inspiration.☺️
Very much same.
Autism doesn’t have to hold you back, it just makes you worse at some things but you are so much more than your LDs, and if anything it makes you better then those darn nerotypicals
Hope all the best for you Keeper. Never give up, never give in.
As an autistic person myself I'm curious to know if you identified with Amos, too?
@@DaveDoingDaveThings no way. I'm way too sensitive. If you asked my friend who is also on the spectrum, he would give you a different answer. The guy looks at people in the same way Amos does.
In 2014 a friend of mine called me up and asked me if I could build a catapult. My first thought was "no, if course not." Then she told me that she was hosting a planning party for a cub scout day camp and asked me to come join in to see if there was anything I could do to help them. At the meeting she showed me a blueprint for a small 24" catapult that she wanted the webelos to make and it was such a simple design that I thought "yeah, I can do that." Then she said that she needed 30 of them and i started laughing out of fear because it was a bigger job than I thought I could handle but she assured me that she just needed them measured and cut and that the boys would be doing the assembly with my supervision. I messed up a few of the cuts and I miscalculated the structural integrity and had to replace one of the pieces with a stronger support but after the boys finished assembling then and had their firing competition they were so happy they wanted to skip their pool time and come play with the catapults they built. All the parents came up to me after camp and told me that I was their kids' favorite part of camp and they couldn't wait for next year's camp. I swear I was high for 6 months after that. The next year I was so excited I told her not to even ask if I was helping again, just tell me when the meetings start. We had an avengers themed camp and I built a captain America shield, angry angry hulk hands and secret boxes and never once thought I couldn't do it.
This is a wonderful story.
Science Thor and Science Odin will always have a special place in my Nerd Pantheon. Thank you, sirs, for enriching our lives by regaling us with science and also through the systematic victimization of many crash test dummies.
Okay, I love this comment, because it speaks to my nerd heart.
But then there is the mythology nerd in me that immediatelly asks "Why Science Odin? I get Science Thor, because Kyle looks a bit like MCU Thor. But what makes them equate Adam with Odin?"
Oh man this is insane, Adam and Kyle is seriously a heavy hitting collab
By far the best discussion between two people on the internet! The sincerity, cumulative knowledge, maturity, and respect make this not only wholesome, but also impactful! Thanks for this collaboration, it was the best 40 minutes I've spent in a while!
To see Adam's eyes getting teary near the end of their conversation was so wholesome. I love this guy!
The chemistry here definitely feels like a podcast of sorts is in order…
I don't know that either of them could ever find the time but I would certainly listen if they did make one.
I’ve met him at the bare minimum, at an event by tested in San Francisco at the Castro Theater, 2016 still one of the best moments of my life lol, the myth-busters was a legit ungodly amazing show
I met him at the Behind the Myths Tour in Brisbane Australia!
I still have a T-shirt from the event to this day even though it doesn't fit me anymore lol
I may have actually been in that audience with you, no joke
I grew up watching Mythbusters, and later, as an adult I started watching Kyle's videos. It's really awesome seeing these two meet!
When Adam said he was an artist, I feel that. Art is subjective and I'm one of those who feel anything could be art if you put your heart into it.
Kyle, one thing that really surprised me on your conversation of how you wanted to make an impact.
And I always imagine that 'making an impact' is not something you could measure or be aware of.
You have no idea how how much impact you made in MY life, someone you don't know. And you only know NOW because I am telling you.
And all I wish for u, is to keep being awesome and curious, and keep cultivating an exploration mindset to people of all ages. :)
Kyle, what Bill Nye and Adam did for our age group, you are doing for the Kids in my daughter’s age group. Keep it up man, you’re making a difference in the world.
The amount of people Adam has inspired with his craft is simply staggering, me included. I love seeing two of the people that get my brain juices flowing and give me the drive to make my own stuff talk and these 40 minutes FLEW by. What a great and heartwarming video.
The Dynamic Duo, Kyle and Adam, seriously you guys are awesome together!
I met Adam once in the pantheon in Rome while on vacation. I didn't talk with him very much because I was scared to bother him but my god he seemed like such a nice guy. His smile is so genuine and you could I could really tell how much he admired the beauty of the building.
One of my favorite things about Adam is some contrast that he has to other famous people. I've heard of so many other people, when talking about the experience that made them famous, they always say how much they hated that thing. They hate that it's the only thing that people want to talk about, they talk about how every day of that experience was miserable, etc. But when Adam talks about MythBusters, it's always about how grateful he is that he had the opportunity, and how even though there were challenges and bad days, he loved every minute of it.
You two are a hell of a pair! I'd love to see more collaborations from you guys
Adam is the Bob Ross of engineering and you can't change my mind.
Thor the Engineer is getting more and more fit with every episode.
Dude Kyle is Thor and Adam does the Cap Cosplay.. Add the Hacksmith and we got the Avengers
I’ve been watching you for awhile and you’re one of the people who inspired me to go to college for engineering
You're the reason I do what I do
@@kylehill OH MY GOD I LOVE IT!!!!
@@kylehill that is profound compliment and much deserved.
I am glad to see healthy self esteem Kyle has to accept the compliment.
The first thing you think when seeing the thumbnail is "Wait.. WHAT?" but then you realise how surprisingly normal it actually is for two public figures like them to finally meet.
To Adam's Coda, the author and UA-camr, John Green, often talks about how a novel is only his until it is released into the world, at that point it becomes a part of a community who will ascribe new and different meanings to the work and will even build off of or transform the work in new ways. That is both the most scary, but also the most wonderful part about releasing your art into the world.
You are really good at asking fascinating interview questions! “It is inherently interesting to watch someone do something they’re interested in” Adam couldn’t have said it better
2 life changing legends on the same screen just wins the internet. Thank you both so much for everything you do
You two are some of my favourite persons. Thank you both for all the knowledge and passion you have given me
In the middle of our lives is mostly triage
I'm so using this.
Thank you Kyle and Adam for this.
'I reject your reality and substitute my own'.. one of the greatest quotes of my childhood.
Adam Savage influenced the course of my life. Love you man.
The amount of feels I have from this video. Adam inspired me much like he did Kyle. Thank you both for influencing generations of Makers.
Adam hit the head right on the nail with his statement; "I'm not just witnessing you talking at me... I'm hearing your discovery of this too," this is true to 99% of the videos I finish on UA-cam. You two are a great inspiration, thank you!
Also, Kyle does look like the Physics Girl from behind ;)
It really speaks volumes how loving and authentic Adam is when you bring up how significant he has been in your life. You are speaking for alot of people Kyle when you talk about how much Adam and the mythbusters shaped our lives.
Can't wait to see what you have in store next
There is a lot to chew on from this conversation. Thank you for sharing it! I was able to take a moment and think of my own goals as a Father (1st) and as a creator (2nd). And yes they often overlap. My kids are my audience.
Adam is truly genuine. It really reminds me that similarly, I recently read Dave Grohl's Auto-Biography. My big take away from it is, it really does seem that the dude just loves everything about all music and making it. He's not making (and never has) made decisions about how to optimize his path to success metric, he just follows his passion and the rest falls in line. I think that quality is what makes the greatest communicators and artists into legends.
It's long been my opinion that someone doing something they truly love is objectively beautiful. I can tell that you both love science and that's what draws me to both of you.
This is amazing to see both of my favorite contributors to entertaining science shows, get together. I have watched both of yours, and Adam's content since the beginning, and will continue as long as you both have a platform to do so!
The mutual respect and admiration you two share for one another is genuinely heart warming. Nice to see two cool dudes can be such good friends in these times...
Watching mythbusters made me enjoy science so much more. And after mythbusters ended, I have spent a lot of time watching Adams videos, learning how to make things, and dare to try new things. Its all to the work Adam have put into encouraging the maker community.
I loved this conversation, you can tell how much meaning and passion both you and Adam put into what you do. The last bit Adam was talking about was a great piece and I love you added it in, not everyone can be famous but that doesn’t mean they aren’t great. Keep up the amazing work.
It's so wonderful to see Kyle, despite everything he has done, to still be so humble and starstruck with his hero. And Adam is just a guy, who loves what he's doing and appreciates other doing the same.
These guys are bros!
always watched adam as a kid and love tested and ive been a fan of kyle for a good couple years now really cool to see such creative and inserational dudes chillin
I can't put words to how perfect the timing of this video is in my life. I could watch this conversation lasting all day. Thank you Kyle and Adam.
This video proves ”don’t meet your hero’s” wrong, Adam seems like just such a wondrous person that spending any amount of time with would be a joy and it is great to know someone who has changed so many lives is someone who truly loves what they do, and has worked so hard. So great to see these 2 wondrous people interact.
Mythbusters will forever be my favorite show ever and adam always was my favorite. Hes such an awesome dude.
Love this ❤
The worst part about about needing to, "play the game", on YT is the fact that there is a balance between what both of you represent. Stick to who you are no matter what, but we also must change to suit our social, financial, ect, goals. Balance, like everything else in life I suppose.
I should never be surprised when two UA-camrs I love know each other and work together like this, but it definitely makes the channels I follow feel even more like "community."
Also, where do I sign up for the Savage Army? I don't want to miss any call to action there might be... Bat signal type thing?
Indeed....can I put my name on that list too. 😊
Mythbusters was a big part of my childhood, I watched every single episode I could and because of that I got into making stuff. Not just that but it got me interested in engineering and motivated me to pursue it. Now I am going to a college that I never thought I would get into pursuing a career I'd never thought that I could and doing things that I never thought I would do. Who knows if my life would have changed without Mythbusters but I can definitely say it was made better by it.
1. Compliments to Mr.Savage one the craftsmanship of that Samaritan. Just wow.
2. Compliments to the mic for picking up all that actuation and.
3. Compliments to Mr.Savage for making it sound like a studio produced those sounds.
👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Anytime I catch Adam with other brilliant youtubers its a great day!
I honestly loved watching this conversation. Listening to two people whom I respect, open up to each other (in gratitude to Adam) is very refreshing. You can honestly feel the respect between the two of you. It has provided me with some inspiration on the stages of life. You both took the skills that you had developed, and then took a leap of faith to see where you would land. You took something comfortable then made it scary. That is one of the hardest things to do, because as Adam said, you never know if what you do will land. Thank you for sharing your leap.
The crossover I wanted and wasn’t expecting. Love to both of you!
Yes, lovely! We need more of these honest and deep and loving conversations. There has to be room for breathing and afterthought. And so true, the importance of knowing what you can control and what you cannot. Love you two.
I was really looking forward to this interview and you guys never disappoint. Thank you
So good! Thank you both for your continued excellence in content creation.
Adam perfectly encapsulated something I resonate with but never thought about. I love your content not just because I love science, but because how you deliver it is passionate and carries that euphoria
Man, that was so memorable and rewarding. Thank you, Kyle. Thank you so very much.
Thank you for sharing your time with Adam with us. This was wonderful to listen, such a kindhearted and inspiring duo, you two.
I am absolutely psyched to see Adam and you together in the same physical space. Awesome achievement, Kyle! This is so amazing and I am so proud of you, of us and this community on how far we have all come.
This video is such a pleasure to watch. Thank you both for sharing it with us :)
man, I loved listening to the both of you talk. Thank you for this video!
This nothing short of magic! Watching you two interact gives me goosebumps!
I've already shared this with two people, and I haven't even finished watching
Ahhhhh! This is SO freakin' amazing! Thanks SO much you two, for having this conversation, and sharing it with us!
Man... Everything from this discussion resonates so deep with me... Thank you for your wisdom.
This is so cool. Made me realize how much Adam shaped mine, and a lot of nerd's ideas of what kind of man or adult they wanted to be.
So wholesome
Kyle, bro. The envy in all of this knows no bounds for me. I love you and Adam both. Both of you are reasons I enjoy what I do so much. Discovery and understanding are so amazing. Hair or no hair, love you bud. Keep doing what you do. I am going to enjoy it. I may not watch every single video but I still enjoy just hearing you speak.
This is one of the most awesome and inspiring videos on the Internet. Thank you Adam and Kyle, for putting this together. You guys are larger than life and the impact you have on people is larger than you guys will ever know.
So jealous to see you two icons hanging out. You are both major inspirations for me, and I hope for my son. Thank you Kyle, Thank you Adam.
This made me smile so much, absolutely love both of you!
It's hard to articulate how emotionally charged and powerful these two videos have been - for several reasons, some obvious and some not so. Thank you guys for sharing this with us. It means so much to me!
This is so wholesome! I could listen to these two all day!
Absolutely cannot get over how cool these two interacting is . All legends .
29:13 The most beautiful statement I've personally ever heard Adam say. I appreciate both of you and what you both do for the world with live in. Thank you for everything you two do.
The coda is why I love Adam. He is never not reflective and curious about the way he moves in life. It's admirable and a way of being I hope to cultivate in myself.
Absolutely fantastic insight into two of my heroes thoughts and feelings...thank you both so much
I'm glad we have all had such fulfilling lives. A good, thoughtful video.
Damn, the epic, science crossover!!!!
Two of the best science dudes out there. You guys are an inspiration and a treasure.
Kyle, I love your video essays and never can wait for the next one.
However, I DO also want you to continue the other content! It's all good here! And even if there isn't a topic or piece of content that I know I won't want to watch because it isn't particularly interesting to me at that time, I do know that others WILL want to see it and it will be interesting to them.
This is all to say, keep doing what you're doing, as you've got a lot to share and it's all incredibly interesting to watch and have a conversation with someone about whether here or out in the world.
Omg Kyle this was so amazing I kept audibly making noises during this interview like yelling omg I do that too. Lol thank you for being a science educator and teaching us new things you, Adam, and Alton have honestly changed my life. Alton taught me how to cook with science and rethink everything. Adam taught me to have a systematic approach to fixing or testing anything. You my friend taught me how to tie science and my interest like pop culture, comics, movies and bridge gaps in people's understanding. Thank you all.
Loved watching this; Adam is phenomenal and someone I've grown up watching. Kyle, you've been on my Radar since the birth of Because Science. As a youtuber myself, at lot of this hits home and helps me wrap my head around this profession that I've found myself a part of for the last 6 years or so. Man, what a ride!
This first episode of your new podcast is amazing looking forward to episode 2
I have been waiting for this video ever since he mentioned that this video might be a thing. Love you Kyle
Can't wait for the part two where you're Adam's age, and are answering similar questions from the next generation.
this is awesome!! really loved seeing the thought process that goes into developing good sci-comm media
I love everything about this. Thanks for sharing this experience.
Absolutely the best video I’ve seen in a while, Kyle thanks for this.
This has to be one of the most wholesome videos on UA-cam. Thank you both for all the positivity you give to people.
Adam is a giant in the eyes so many people and is so wholesome, whenever he speaks with people. Love the video on his channel of you two building the frame. It's an odd chemistry that just works
Thank you for this Kyle! Seeing Adam at Rose City Comic Con this year was my highlight and I'm so glad to see two of my favorite science educators in one place!
@ 19:10 " -Jamie doesn't care that the camera's on " I laughed out loud. 😄
What an amazing conversation! I'm with you Kyle on not having an exact person you are talking to but more of an idea or concept (which may translate to talking to yourself). It's crazy to see two ppl who inspire me and see a lot of myself in your conversation.
Thanks to you both and keep doing what you do!
Thank you to the both of yall.
Oh man I didn't even know how much I needed this. Living the dream Mr Hill.
Watching this late (put it in my watch later and forgot about it lol), but I still love it. Adam, Kyle. Two of my favorite minds and people on this platform. From the wide catalogs of gaming to the vast canyons of channels like Kyle's and Adam's, I can't name many content creators who are as amazing as these two. Much love, спасибо (thanks), and keep it up.
Dude this is awesome!!!! This fills me with so much joy !!!!
So great to watch y'all work together!
