> Speaking of the B team, their was one episode called “Do pretty girls fart?” where they had this model wear some sort of fart detecting underwear and the B team girl asked why she had not been selected to be the test subject and Adam and Ryan refused to answer.

That is the opposite of what happened. Kari wore the fart microphone, went almost all day without farting and then when prompted, finally did fart wearing the device. There was no model and no awkward confrontation, unless you saw a different episode than I did.

Also, who is Ryan?

> They did a good scientific analysis and figured out how much weight each balloon could carry and then made up a bundle strong enough to life a child but then figured out the problem was the strings wouldn’t handle the stress or something so they said yes, it could work but no, they doubt it was practical.

No, it would just require a massive number of balloons.

They actually did lift a little girl, but the balloon bundle was hugely massive and clearly no one would ever accidentally hand something like that to a little girl. An adult has a hard enough time  
wrangling the thing around as it is.
