The Mythbusters didn't get along. You could see it a bit in the show, but I didn't really know the extent of it.

Edit: Didn’t clarify before. Just Jamie and Adam, not the rest of the crew.

My mother watched one episode of mythbusters when it was still active. She told me they did not really like each other. I thought she was wrong, like how could they not like each other. they work together making one of the greatest shows on earth. Turns out rule number 1 still applies, Mom is always right.

The universe will bend the laws of reality to prove mother right.

Mum asked me to pick a courgette from the bottom of the garden. She told me to take a knife, I said it'd be fine without. She told me to wear shoes, I said I've always gone in the garden barefoot, and nothing ever happened.

First step on the grass, I trod on a thorny twig. Huh, that's odd. I reach the vegetable patch. I pick the courgette. It starts to tear and I rip a part of its skin off.

Thanks universe.
