    Oh fine rate me down for being right (Just watch an Apple video that has the same slide style). Added: I think Adam needs to take a chill pill sometimes when he thinks of this stuff XD. (ForaTV thee available in GarageBand)

    Bullshit imo. I know people who are extremely interesting and will never be famous. Adam would have a folllowing but not like this. in any event he’s a cool guy, but i KNOW that Mythbusters gave him that coolness

    @jkeller2008
    If this were in People mag, maybe, but not here on the intertubes.
    Consider the possibility that he’s famous because he’s interesting…

    I’ve heard only 1 story on / from “The Moth” (NY storytelling group w/shows available thru iTunes) — the one by NYT bestseller / New Yorker writer Malcolm Gladwell. But it had this exact same hyperdrive-on-coke-yet-perfectly-rational pace / tone / sound to it.
    Up til now, I woulda guessed it to be a mostly New York thing. Sounds like the manic side of bi-polar. If it could be packaged, it would sell for $billions.
    Beyond brilliant.
    The subject matter’s almost a bonus…

    you can tell how excitied he is to share his obsessions and tell the stories behind them. he talks so fast and runs out of breath because he has so much to say. i envy mr savage

    this video makes me look at adam savage in a whole new light. See how his obsessions just take over his life. He is such an interesting person becuase he is so human. And I know we all can say those falcon and dodo sculptures were truly amazing. Excellent job Mr. Savage!

    He is such an interesting guy, i would love to meet him. Obsessions are very interesting, for him i bet that falcon is worth more than the real thing, only he trully understands the effort and work required to create that so close to the original. Trully magnificent.
