    For me, it was: you need to think critically, but you also need to employ proper experts. They did a lot of cringe ‘science’ early.

      I hate the trombone episode they did For context I play the trombone

      So the myth was that there was this performer who put a firework in his trombone mute and it ended up launching the slide off

      They used a crappy pawn shop trombone with no oil to test it

      The slide should be so smooth that if you simply hold it upside down and let go of the slide it should fall with near zero resistance

      But if your trombone isn’t properly maintained All it takes is one tiny dent to mess that up and significantly increasing the drag

      Hell all it would of took is one of the producers to drop it or bump into it to dent it ruining the whole experiment

        would of took

        would have taken. Even without took/taken. would have, could have. never of. The confusion comes from would’ve could’ve.
