Jamie watching Gavin throw the slap: That’s my job!

One of my favourite days ever. Thanks so much for having me. ❤

Honestly, can't say how happy I am that Gavin is getting to work with Adam as much as he is lately. I know that was a dream of his for a long time.

Gav liked Red vs Blue, he got to direct it. He liked movies, he ended up working on them. He liked video games, he ended playing them for money and featuring in a bunch. He liked The Inbetweeners, he got to be friends with Jay. He liked Mythbusters, here he is. This man just manifests his dreams

I feel like one of the biggest contributions to the world Adam and folks like him have done is the enthusiasm. not just about science but that is a big part of it. it's "This thing is so cool!" It is both infectious and it gives people permission to be enthusiastic about their interests.

It's really fun to see people like Gavin and Nerdforge guest appear in the shop because you can see the conflict on their faces of wanting to fanboy and fangirl, but also want to come off as being professional and it's really cute 😄

I must admit when Jamie slapped Adam years ago on Mythbusters, it was funny. Now, part of my brain is screaming, “be careful, you’re going to hurt him!”

More collab with slowmoguys please

Not sure why Dan wasn't on this trip, but I'm confident he's really mad he missed slapping Adam across the face!

@chrysshart 1 year ago

I really love how Adam made a point of physically reaffirming that there were no hard feelings with Gavin. You can say "we're good" and mean it and it won't have the reassuring effect of a good, hearty bro-hug.

Jamie wouldn't hesitate with the slap

0:16 best part of the whole video.

Damn, getting permission to slap a legend. Gav can brag about that for the rest of his life.
SlowMo Guys and Adam Savage's Tested is always a guarantee for good content.

Its always interesting to watch Gav (and Dan) go from fun guys to ultra professional and back again. In those professional moments their whole posture and voice changes and you know that now is not the time to mess around.

There is genuinely nothing I love more than two people with expertise in a subject speak at length about their specialist subject[s], so this is delightful. Seeing exactly how much Gav and Adam have learned in their years of working is inspiring, too. They're not just entertainers, but actual experts.

@FellerofTrees 1 year ago

I love watching all of the YouTube nerds meet Adam. Most people don't expect to meet their childhood heroes and even fewer can expect them to actually be same the person you grew up admiring. Thanks for what you do for the nerd community Adam. You're one of the greats.

"Hey Gav, you get to slap Adam Savage today."
Gav, "Cool. Wait, no. Wait, yes please. Wait...."

2 of my favorite creators. Tested and the Slow Mo Guys helped me through the beginnings of the pandemic, my early retirement, and my deep dive into YouTube.

I enjoy watching the amazing builds Adam has made, and watching his process. But I think this solidifies for me that his interviews are the best. Just seeing someone who has had such a wide range of wild experiences (often involved in the process with some contraption or another) lovingly geek out with an expert in a particular field, and get into both the technical detail of how a thing works, and the personal detail of how an expert found the field and developed their craft, is just so uplifting and encouraging. When it is hard to feel good about the world, seeing Adam's boundless enthusiasm and love for the human experience as a whole, never ceases to comfort me.
