Adam is so on point when he describes successful people in the industry as "people who enjoy solving problems under constant shifting parameters". As a TV news camera person, I went into work every day not knowing what my job was going to be. Some days I would get paired with a reporter, others I would be on my own. I might cover the weather, or a candlelight vigil, or a basketball game, or 10 completely different stories spread out between 5 or 6 counties. Some days I would just be a live truck operator which had its own completely different set of problems. Every day was different and the only constants were my tools and my abilities to think quickly on my feet to meet the demands of the day.

I used to work a job (Crisis Support Counselor / dual diagnosis specialist) where when you walked in on a Monday morning and you had to deal with only 3 suicide attempts, that was a good start to the week. If it was three or less you could get in contact with the client's family, doctor, insurance, the care facility they were housed, and anyone else before lunch. Then in the afternoon, you headed out to the different, usually hospitals they were being discharged from to counsel and take them home. Them before you called it a day you made sure there was another worker that could follow up, and scheduled the appropriate aftercare plan and meetings for the rest of the week. In those moments you have to learn to compartmentalize your emotional response, freaking out, crying, thinking that you failed them to some degree, none of that is helpful. At that moment my client had been driven to such an emotional state that they attempted their own life, you need to keep it together for them. Your wasting time cycling through your emotional process instead of taking care of them. You can sob uncontrollably into your 40 piece nugget crate while your driving to the next hospital. I did this for 3 years. As a sponge, I absorbed a tremendous amount of other people's pain. But there are other professions that have had to endure even more. So next time you see someone in scrubs or dressed like a guidance counselor with multiple hospital badges on them, pay for their chicken nuggets and/or coffee, they are most likely having a very rough day.

I keep thinking about this in the context of university. When I got in, I was so naive, coming out of what I would later learn was a traumatic and abusive situation...and then I was STILL naive when I decided I wanted to be an artist. It's only been this term that I've not only learned what the degree is really preparing me for, and getting really serious about meeting that goal. One of the best things I have done this term has been to buy a small black book that will hold my artistic notes and narratives outside of class. So now I have a way to record the journey and create a resource for later in my life. There are times that I question even attending university, and then there are terms like this that remind me why I'm doing it. That's so invaluable.

Hearing you describe the realities of working on-set, and the camaraderie that binds the industry is something that I had never really considered, yet as a career cook, am immediately intimately familiar with. Excessive hours in tough circumstances, under-prepared, with frightening potential hazards, and constantly-shifting problem solving circumstances in an environment where failure is not an option bonds people in a way that's difficult to make relatable to anyone who's never experienced it for themselves. When asked what it's like to work in a "real" kitchen full-time (read: not flush with cash, space, or staff), I find the only relatable way to describe it is to direct people to the ending of "The Hurt Locker" where Jeremy Renner's character is back in the US, shopping with his infant son in a grocery aisle, trying to decide between breakfast cereals, and the film hard cuts to him stepping out of a helicopter, back to do another tour as an EOD Tech. There are certain vocations that I would never wish on anyone; and yet, for those of us who work them, nothing else will do, as nothing can relationships and friendships quite like working in the trenches of life, be they literal or metaphorical.

I get a genuine sense that, to Adam, every question is valuable to him and worth exploring and elaborating on further. No question is considered too dumb or too insignificant, they are all treated with respect and he always allows himself as much time as *he needs* in order to give the best answer he can possibly put into words. He never tries to rush it or hurry things along. I could listen to him talk about 'stuff' for hours.

Jamie's practicality is awesome. On a tested podcast episode not too long ago someone was saying how they watched something that they didn't like and they didn't have an angry emotional response. They had compared not having an emotion reaction to having a mental illness. I personally thought that not letting thier emotions guide thier way of thinking was very practical, it was interesting. I think a lot more people would rather let thier thought and reactions be guided by thier emotions then having a practical approach. It kind of scares me. Emotions are great but they hinder a lot of people. I guess balance is the key

I have a long-winded question. I'm currently a realist painter making portraits of Cosplayers, but I didn't start painting until about tens years ago, but I did draw anime and Sci-Fi stuff when I was young. Between then and now I've been a physiotherapist, a house and landscape designer and an illustrator. When I started painting I pursued all these different avenues of what I thought would be considered serious art (because I wanted to build a career out of it.) However I've come to realise the most honest expression of what I do is steeped in the things that brought joy as a young person and so I've come full circle. I wonder if there are things, pursuits or even ways of thinking where you've found you've come full circle, but perhaps richer for the experience?

It would seem to me Construction and the film industry are similar. Every plan something goes wrong. The perimeters and goalposts change constantly. Your going to fix 60 problems a day, fix them and move on. Managing a large construction site is no joke. Your best ones are calm and calculating. I was once told im only to explain how bad a problem is by how much time it takes to redo or cost. Literally nothing is a problem if you can throw some money at it to make it go away. I'm sure the film guys understand this.

It's not just time passing/age equalling wisdom for that Mythbusters "knowing" expansion. I experienced something similar when I was the campus editor for the school paper. There's something about the act of doing a thing that shows you opportunities to push beyond the "edge of the map" in your knowledge. And the stories you end up with from the failures/learning opportunities are the best part.

We used to do the foil ball thing with the wrappers from certain high school lunch items over one lunch period and just the lunch table back before social media.

Adam, I just let you know that foil being used to make into solid balls is not a new pursuit. Kids in my public school, low those 45 years ago, used the foil from cigarette packages to make shiny solid balls. They may not have known about "Dorodongo", but they were doing it. Love your content, and thanks for your contribution to my sanity in these uncertain times.

working on my R2D2 right now. I spent the entire day trying to fit the motor assembly I built out of Lego parts in the foot. I finally concluded that Im going to have to model and 3d print custom motor mounts to make it fit. Had I started with that I could have saved myself a day.

This actually answered a nagging question I’ve had about myself. I’m a decent model builder and my friend Andy Myers is an incredibly skilled artist and makes his own model kits specialopsmodels.com for y’all interested. His background was TV and film doing stuff for speed and Budweiser commercials. I’ve always wondered if I should have gone to school to learn how to do that stuff like you and him do. That’s a hearty no now. I can do anything if you tell me what you need but that ability to say “well I just spent a week designing and making this and now you want me to change it, sure” I do not have. I need a clear idea to work off of so thank you for providing that clarity.

OK so 20 seconds in the engine from ecto 1 moves slightly to the left as Adam walks out frame, was there somebody filming that? Did somebody move the motor from Ecto 1? Is there a poltergeist in the cave?

I know it definitely influenced mine. I've kept some 1" square tubing stock in every shop I've had for over a decade now in case I need a new work surface or whatever and need to weld a quick frame together. And I use the super glue tricks i've learned from watching Adam over the years in my own hobbies as a luthier.

The prop which moves at around 00:18 is the guy behind the camera moving it. Adam confirmed it on twitter.

As others have pointed out, the irony of the Ecto-1 Engine moving on its own at 0:18 although i think it was probably Maggie poking her nose at it, or Norm somehow moving it, because it didn't look like a random movement, there was force behind it, and i'm NOT talking about the Force. EDIT: Hmm.. just rewinded it and i forgot that it was a snippet from a Live stream, this was the one where he had a guest around offcam, and seeing how they switch cam angles, the answer is in the angle that came after the movement, so, probably another person, with privacy. Because if it was Maggie, they'd most likely show her poking around.
