Honestly, I like this more than the assumption they are friends. They like each other enough to respect one another, they are skeptical enough to question each other, but despite having wildly different thought processes and not calling each other friends as a result, they still communicate as effectively as any friend might. Yeah, it'll ruin a few childhoods learning they aren't friends, but I respect them all the more for having a professional relationship as quality as they did.

What does sadden me is that they don’t seem to talk with each other any longer now that the show’s over. The common goal that they both worked so hard to achieve together is now gone.

Decades working with someone.... but not one semblance of appreciation, friendship, or basic professional respect.... the two are clearly completely incompatible. That is not "healthy", it is a petty and toxic relationship. Co-workers challenging each others ideas/input/theories is natural/healthy/beneficial but turning it into an anti-social arrangement? That is a very, very unhealthy 'professional' relationship'. Put these two together outside of a 'fake' TV show environment and they'd be a complete unworkable mess.

It makes sense that their personalities would clash. For one, Jamie is eleven years older than Adam, so there's a slight generation gap. Also, Adam grew up near New York City, while Jamie grew up in rural Indiana. Adam's first passion was acting. While he hasn't acted professionally in years, he still has a flair for the dramatic, while Jamie is calm, no nonsense sort. It was two different upbringings and personalities at work, but it made for a great show.

The most interesting thing about Jamie and Adam's relationship is that even though they're not "friends" in a sort of "hang out together" sense, they clearly trust each other a great deal. This really comes through in the Underwater Car episode where Adam essentially trusts Jamie with his life to give him a scuba regulator if he can't get out of the car before it fills with water. I don't know if I couldn't trust someone who I didn't know on a buddy buddy level to do that. The fact Mythbusters lasted 14 years is really amazing to me, and is really a testament to their working relationship.

I visceraly know what Adam is talking about here. I used to work at a manufacturer providing aerospace parts, a colleague and I were tasked with mounting hardware on a plane's (Airbus 320) main landing gear door. It's a well defined process we both have done hundreds of times, we'd do it alone or together depending on how our shifts fell together. Every time we worked together there'd be a weird non-verbal communication taking place because each of us knew precisely what the other was thinking at every single step of the process (and we liked each other so each did our best to help the other). You would think "I'd need a sharper drill bit" and give it a doubtfull look, and the other would disappear and reappear with a sharp one. He'd hand me the precisely exact tool at the same split second I'd have thought of reaching for it facing the exact direction I'd want it to face, and I'd be able to do the same for him. Doing a step and preparing the next would happen simultaneously, and you'd have infinite trust in the preparation without even thinking of checking it. You expected a fitting to lie there prepared exactly as it needs to be and you'd reach for it and slap it into place without even looking. We'd read cues the other was not bothering to give, listen to how the drill whines, judging how easily a fitting slides in, judging by eye how much shim will be needed etc., and just act accordingly. We were reading each other's minds. It was strangely pleasurable working with that guy, it felt sychronised, like two ice skaters performing together, or ballet performers, or jugglers doing an act throwing each other stuff and catching it without even deigning to give it a look. It just felt right.

I've heard stories about this same phenomenon going on with two man navy crews. (The A-6 Intruder in particular.) The pilot and BN get to a point of communication where little is spoken, but each one knows what the other was doing. The same people always end up as flying partners just so they don't have to learn to read someone else.

Don't get me wrong though, there are definitely people that would stab you in the back to get ahead out there. Those people you have to look out for.

Honestly I think this is why Mythbusters worked so well. Rather than a bunch of 'old chapping' they always came at things from their colliding points of view which created good myths to test, and the tests were always very entertaining and came at the problems from a variety of angles. Am I bummed that my happy tvland place in my head no longer contains Adam and Jamie skipping through fields of flowers together? A bit. I'm much happier though knowing that their awesome symbiotic relationship gave us 20 years of the best TV ever. If they're good I'm good.

I have watched this piece a couple of times and thought long and hard about it. I remember my total disappointment years ago when I first read an article in the (Australian) Melbourne Age newspaper on the Jamie & Adam relationship. The article compared it to the partnerships of Abbott & Costello, Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis. I too wanted to believe that they were mates (buddies). Alas, it was not the case and explained the on air tension I had noticed at times. Soon after, I stopped watching the show. I returned to the show a season or two later and I believe that the on screen interaction had greatly improved (or was it just editing?). I think that the message that Adam gives in this video is an important one and one that especially younger people should note - and that is, it is a fallacy that you will like every one and that they will like you in life and this can present particular problems in the workplace. However, the ability to work with someone that you would not necessarily have a beer with outside of work and yet still respect their abilities, their knowledge and experience is very important as is the ability to work as a team to achieve the common goal. This is what being "professional" is all about. Adam and Jamie are such professionals. They may not socialise together, but together they can rely on each other to mutually achieve out comes. Well spoken Adam... Thank you for your candid response.

I have often found that it's best to work with someone that has different ideas about how to do something. When you work toward a common goal, but have different ideas on how to get there you wind up with a better end product because you wind up combining the strengths of both ideas and you wind up pointing out flaws in each other's ideas that you both might not have seen otherwise.

You don't just make a suggestion and they go, "Sure." It's constantly a back and forth that makes a great final product, but makes the process of getting there extremely arduous.

I adore Mythbusters and Adam and Jamie, so much so that on several occasions I found myself writing emails to them about some of the myths. I loved and still love both of them, their different personalities, their chemistry on set, their different approaches and different sets of proficiency and skills. To me (and many others probably considering how many times I have seen this and similar questions asked), for some reason it was IMPORTANT to me for them to be friends. I WANTED them to be friends, I wanted them to be the Ratchet and Clank, the Starsky and Hutch, Picard and Riker, etc. And part of my heart, I must admit, crumbled a bit when I learned that not only they aren't friends, but pretty much drive each other insane and not in a strictly positive way. As an adult I fully understand why and how, I get it and that over the decades they worked together they still built a bond, but there is still a part of me that wishes they were more to each other. A kind of "anime moment" if you will. I sometimes wonder if the two of them truly grasp how much of an impact they made on some of us, to the extent that some of us would keep asking them "are you guys friends" over and over and not because of genuine interest but out of simple undying wish they would say "yes".

That's not enough to base a personal friendship off, but it is enough to base a professional relationship off, if they respect each other, which they do. I've worked with co-workers for years who were not "friends" but were great to work with, had mutual respect for each other, achieved a lot together, but never spent any time outside of work together. I also had a co-worker who was an absolute bitch with no respect for others, and in the end it cost her her job.

Jamie and Adam is like Penn and Teller. They are workmates, not friends. This statement is exaggerated yes, but that's the best way to show why they work together so well.

Penn said teller was his best friend and akin to Uncle for his children. they just didn't start as friends, or become friends out of affection.

Not true Penn and Teller are very good friends. Teller is Penn's daughters godfather.

I find it so impressive how Jamie and Adam worked together. They are two totally different personalities, didn't like each other and yet still made one of the greatest science shows ever.

Adam seems like he matured and grew so much by having to work with Jamie for so many years, while Jamie didn't grow much at all and is pretty much the same he was 20 years ago.

I imagine that Jaime was born as a middle aged man.
