    This episode showed us exactly why ryan is scared of ghosts. He’s actually just been scared of wind the whole time.
  • @Bellis17
    If you're wondering how 80 million trees could be flattened like that, imagine 80 million jars of peanut butter being slammed into the ground.
  • @ars_moriendi
    My roommate once said that it's absolutely wild to them that Shane and Ryan only met for the first time as adults because they have the vibe of two friends who grew up together into one of those shared braincell friendships.
  • @elgil06
    ryan going “you missed” and then immediately switching to “no you hit me” when shane started to aim the blast wave thing again is such peak sibling energy
  • @bibongka981
    ryan presents like a detective while shane presents like a professor fr its a vibe
  • @HeisenbergFam
    Watcher's quality over quantity format is something I wholeheartedly respect
  • @PanzerMan332
    Love that Ryan and Shane casually forgot that after World War I, the was an entire revolution and upheaval of the Russian government, meaning that a government funded expedition into a remote and sparsely inhabited area was MAYBE not a top priority for a while.
  • @roseaesthetic7969
    If Shane was a college professor and his lectures were like this, I'd never skip class.
  • @erik-fv7id
    it’s hard to imagine an asteroid traveling at 33,500 mph, but thank god Shane told us to imagine a jar of peanut butter traveling at 33,500 mph. really puts things into perspective
  • @LizzianaJones
    The constant acknowledgment of Ryan’s betrayal of the Professor across shows is just amazing every time
  • @RaeNapier64
    Ryan begging for his life over a light breeze is everything I needed
  • @gracesw9906
    when shane stands in front of the projector around 21:44 the light makes it look like he’s wearing teeny tiny shorts
  • Shane's repeated reuse of the peanut butter analogy in spite of it reliably and clearly not working is a mood.
  • @hogey989
    I don't know why I thought Ryan would be presenting a mystery every time but I'm thrilled to be wrong. This will absolutely be my favourite series.
  • @kennedidrake2289
    How Shane's first mystery wasn't the dancing plague of 1518 will always astound me
  • @pendingauthor2536
    I was a bit confused on how big the astroid was, but when Shane compared it to peanut butter jars, it made complete sense.
  • @seraphimhotker691
    I didn’t quite understand the maths until Shane turned it into the peanut butter thing and honestly that helped a lot
  • @Boba_tea23
    Shane needs to do all the science mysteries and Ryan needs to do all the true crime, it’s a working dynamic and I aM HERE FOR IT. ALL OF IT.
  • @cannibalcuti3
    Shane: IMAGINE a jar of peanut butter going 33,500mph Ryan: okay- Shane: now the asteroid is heavy, now IMAGINE 220million of those JARS- Ryan: okay that’s even harder to imagine- Shane: NOW IMAGINE THE PEANUT BUTTER BEING 44,500 DEGREES- Ryan: uh sounds tasty ig-
