Adam Savage on MythBusters Reboot, Keren Ann, and His New Laguna Table Saw

MythBusters Reboot Considerations

• 🚫 Adam Savage states he is content with the MythBusters chapter of his life being over and would not consider a reboot.
• 📺 He cites the significant decrease in television budgets and production resources as a major factor, noting his MythBusters budget was around $750,000 per episode, while a later show had less than a tenth of that.
• ⏳ The aging process makes performing stunts more difficult, and his memory recall for past builds has diminished, making a return less appealing.
• ✨ He expresses gratitude for the nearly 300 hours of television made over 13.5 years with a great crew and is currently having as much or more fun with his current projects.

The Story Behind Keren Ann's Song

• 🎶 Adam and his wife do not have a specific song but discovered the artist Keren Ann while watching Grey's Anatomy.
• 🎵 The song "I'm Not Going Anywhere" by Keren Ann became a significant part of their early courtship, leading them to become obsessive fans.
• 🎤 They attended her intimate concert at Cafe Dord in San Francisco and later met her backstage, discovering they were both traveling to Chicago and staying at the same hotel.
• 🤝 This led to further interactions, including attending a concert in Chicago and being invited to dinner with Keren Ann and her band, fostering a lasting friendship.
• 🎸 Years later, Keren Ann spent time playing guitar with Adam's sons, who were young musicians at the time.

Laguna Table Saw and Band Saw

• 🛠️ Adam is happy with his new Laguna band saw, though it requires a minor adjustment for squareness.
• 💡 He explains why he opted against a SawStop table saw, preferring a traditional one due to his frequent cutting of aluminum and fast-paced work, which would likely trigger the safety mechanism too often.
• 🌲 His previous Powermatic table saw, used for nearly 40 years, has been passed on to a new home.
• ⚙️ The new Laguna table saw is quieter than its predecessor, and he is working on optimizing its dust retrieval system.
