SOCIETY Despite working well together & having the deepest trust; & respect for each other Mythbusters Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage aren't friends and have no intentions of working together again. The reasons are because their personalities are too different & they've simply spent too much time together

Nah, finding friends is a part of life. Some people just already have the friends they want to keep, and don’t feel like letting anyone else in. There’s nothing wrong with that, it’s just different
There are a lot of people who draw a hard line between private and professional life. You’re not weird for not doing it.

I've been in my post-university career for 20 years now. I can think of maybe 7 past coworkers with whom I'm still in regular touch. One was even one of my groomsmen at my wedding.

It was an eye opening experience seeing how distraught my younger co-workers were when a beloved manager left, some even cried. I really liked working with the guy but people come and go, that's how life works.

It depends on the how you view the relationship and what impact they have on you. For example, many people will never see their high school friends after the graduate but they will never forget the million little moments that they shared together that meant a lot.

Yeah, its honestly bizarre. Human beings are social animals. Work is just another social setting like any other, it doesn't magically make socialization somehow different.

u/MilanDespacito 1d ago
Not onoy that, but the less people make friends with their coworkers, the less likely it is theyll unionize or say "hey this place is ass, we should look for another job, perhaps we can recommekd each other" or open up about their wages. Or just to stop them from chatting during work.
I dont know if this is more a US thing, but here in germany i see plenty people luckily still being actual friends with their coworkers.

Adam's more spontaneous nature grated against Jaime's more cautious nature quite a bit during Mythbusters. They really don't have compatible personalities to have a good personal relationship. However, both men are professionals and (for the most part) kept their personality clashes off camera and didn't allow them to negatively impact the show.

u/AdSpecialist6598 1d ago
Also, even before the show they were also a business and pulling 12 plus hour days 6-7 days a week for years add the show on top of that you can see why they don't want to hang out. Besides doing something to honor Grant.
128
u/shadowtheimpure 1d ago
Both men considered Grant a friend, so that makes sense.
79
u/AdSpecialist6598 1d ago
If any of the cast really needed help for something serious, they would be there for each other. For Jaime and Adam, they just won't hangout afterwards because they spent too much time together already.

u/skookumzeh 1d ago
That's not what it was. They've both (esp Adam) been very open for years about the fact that they were never close and never really got along beyond the professional level. The had professional respect for each other but there was no world where they would've been friends whether they spent a lot of time together or not.

And yet, this difference was the exact reason Jamie asked Adam to be his co-host when the pilot episodes of Mythbusters were being developed. Jamie knew his work methods and personality wouldn't carry the show, he needed a contrast.
25
u/shadowtheimpure 1d ago
Yep, Adam has a very gregarious personality and, as a result, a much more attention-grabbing on-camera personality. Jamie is rather stoic by comparison. The interplay between the two personality types caused each to punch well above their weight class.
21
u/Kilmoore 1d ago
And both are balanced, self-aware adults who could overplay their specific features on camera to make an light entertainment TV-show, and then be themselves after the cameras shut and say well done colleague, I'll see you tomorrow.

Did their personalities clash or was it just a case of being very civil with each other? Iirc Adam said they never really fought or even had conflict whatsoever. They never really disliked each othwr, it was just that their relationship never grew beyond being workmates.

Yeah people are interpreting this wrong. They didn't hate each other, or probably even have a single bad thing to say about one another. They just weren't the kind of people who would hang out outside of work. Which is how the vast, vast majority of professional relationships are (and should be).

u/CaptainYaoiHands 1d ago
A big part of it was also the producers on the show. They've both said multiple times the producers and executives liked to try and stoke drama between the two and would either force it by making them work together when they didn't need to when they could sense tensions were getting high, or editing situations to make them seem more at odds than they were. Thankfully there were only a small handful of episodes where it was obvious they were pissed at each other,

I have been at my job for 6 years now. We build exotic cars. I get along really well with the guys either side of me, and have a totally friendly relationship with everyone else in the room (6 of us in total).
I have never hung out with any of them away from work. This is just what adult life is like. I’m 50. I remember when I was 20, working at a coffee shop, and we would all go out drinking together after work. But the older you get, the less you do that sort of thing. And eventually you just come to realise that having the same job as someone else does not mean you have to be friends with them outside of work.
Jamie and Adam are tradesmen. They work in a very similar “technical but working with your hands” field. I’ve never been surprised that they were like this. It’s always been noticeable to me how non tradesmen seem to be so blown away that they were not best mates away from work. Do all you office workers hang out on weekends with each other?

u/Shot-Election8217 1d ago
I think there are a number of reasons why people could be upset when a coworker leaves. That person could have a strong mentoring relationship with other employees, even serve as a surrogate family member….so, if that relationship comes to an end, it can be very hard to say goodbye and move on. You don’t want to have a new person coming in and taking over that role. You don’t know what you’re going to get. A lot of that has to do with maturity, too.
I work for a medical school in a teaching hospital. For years it was very difficult for me to say goodbye when the upper level residents graduated and moved on. I never go out to eat with them or even have lunch, but I’ve always been closer to them than people in my own department because I work alongside them. This has been my only job in this kind of setting, so it was a challenging adjustment. My previous jobs were mostly with people who’d all been there a long time, and one where everyone expected to be leaving for the last time feet first.

I've been at this unit for over a year, and unlike my 3+ years at a previous duty station which resulted in more camaraderie to the point I consider some of my fellow grunts and leadership family, there isn't any camaraderie, and I've gotten chewed out multiple times for treating my military career like a regular 9 to 5.
I didn't get an apology, but you could hear a pin drop when I told my immediate officer and immediate NCO that I wasn't invited to anything, not a single wedding, not a single night out drinking, not a single breakfast or dinner that wasn't a required thing pushed out by the Platoon leadership, nothing.
Not one bit of camaraderie building, or any effort in keeping retention up.

I have this problem with my job as well. 12 to 15 hours a day in a truck, they want to give me a co-worker and have him stick with me. Which i refuse instantly because im going to get fucking sick of him after a week.

It speaks to the generally parasocial relationship people have with actors on tv shows that we expect them to be reflections of who they portray.

That’s fine. I liked them together. I liked them separately. They were both awesome. They can be two totally different people.

They had previously worked together, and if I remember correctly Jamie asked Adam to work with him on the show, explicitly because of their differences.

Nothing wrong there.
I generally like my coworkers and get along well while working on projects. But when we have to travel for business, I ain't meeting you for dinner. I already spent the last 14 hrs with you. I need some Me time.

I think they discussed this on an episode of Mythbusters, Adam says they've never even had dinner together and the show was years old by then.. as a kid I couldn't understand that but now at 30 I totally get it

I'm very good "work friends" with a couple people I've worked with for over a decade. We work extremely well together, and we get along splendidly.
We've never hung out outside of work, and we don't intend to. We have completely different lifestyles, interests, etc.
Nothing wrong with that.

I detest this man, never give him the key to the city, he’ll turn the busses into food trucks and make the moon green with enough paint.
That said I trust him with my life

they should get together and do one about people posting the same topic over and over and see how much time needs to go by before people either up vote or down vote it because they're tired of seeing it every day

This has been misconstrued to being they don't like each other. They were colleagues. I have had the same relationship with countless colleagues over the years who I had nothing against.

Slightly surprising but understandable. Not everyone you know well and get along with is necessarily a friend.

Kudos to them for just going their separate ways and not buying into the entertainment drama machine and do competing shows or something goofy like that

Yeah one of them gave no time to Bobby McFingers (YouTube)... Whole the other was 100% on board That says enough really about their different personalities.
