Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The ONE Thing Tory REFUSED to Do on MythBusters
Q: Which myth would you have loved to tackle that Jaime and Adam did, or vice versa?
They discuss crossovers of myths they'd hoped to attempt, including a crossbow machine gun concept and the fascination with Jaime's treacherous high-bridge route, highlighting what each felt were the most challenging or intriguing possibilities.
The ONE Thing Tory REFUSED to Do on MythBusters
Q: How linear was filming? Did you record intros before testing or after? And did you go back to the field if something went wrong?
Filming varied by episode; intros and narration were often added after testing to glue the story, but if problems arose on location they would return to the shop to fix and reconfigure rather than repeating extensive fieldwork.
The ONE Thing Tory REFUSED to Do on MythBusters
Q: I was watching the Head in the Freezer episode and Kari got covered in Goop. What crazy things did you get asked to do? and what did you refuse to do?
Kari describes the ice-carving and head-smasher scene, pregnancy on set, and the challenges around filming the sequence, including a failed attempt at a pig head and the decision not to use certain footage due to the pregnancy and violence concerns.
Can We REALLY Control the Sun? with Ben Nowack
Q: What are the practical limits and safety considerations when thinking about lighting large areas from space?
The system is designed to light small, precise areas with a full moon–like brightness, avoiding glare and excessive melatonin suppression, and it must be deployed incrementally with consideration for weather, cloud cover, and ecological impact, all while ensuring deorbiting and space sustainability are managed responsibly.
Can We REALLY Control the Sun? with Ben Nowack
Q: How did you land investment from Sequoia Capital and why was that pivotal?
We combined a strong technical plan with a compelling, cinema-like video that showcased the concept, which helped Sequoia recognize the viability and scale of the business, leading to a strategic partnership that validated the project and opened major funding opportunities.
