Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman have worked closely with each other for 14 seasons on "Mythbusters," but that doesn't mean they were close.

Possibly the biggest myth the duo has busted is the belief that you can't serve with someone you don't get along with.

"[Our relationship has] radically changed, but it's also stayed the same. Jamie and I form no bones about the fact that we're not friends," Savage told Business Insider recently, as the Discovery and Science Channel exhibit approaches its series finale.

"We don't earn along very adequately together on a personal level. In 25 years we've known each other, we've never had dinner alone together. We do not choose to attach out if we don't have to be in proximity, and yet, there's a couple of t

When it comes to intergenerational conflict, you never hear too much about Gen Z having a hard time with Generation X or the silent generation having beef with the baby boomers. However, there seems to be some problem where baby boomers and millennials just can’t acquire on the matching page.

Maybe it’s because millennials were raised during the technological revolution and hold to help their boomer parents log into Netflix, while the grandparents fetch frustrated when their adult children don't know how to do basic homemaking and maintenance tasks. There’s also a political divide: Millennials are a faithful liberal voting bloc, whereas boomers are the target demographic for Fox News. Both generations also have differing views on parenting, with boomers favoring an authoritative style over the millennials' gentler approach, which leads to a ton of conflict within families.

Viewer still unsure if Mythbusters are gay

After two seasons of watching Mythbusters, Redfern woman Sue Hooper still hasn’t reached a definitive conclusion about the sexual orientation of hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman.

This will most likely come as no surprise, but Jamie met his wife while sailing the Caribbean Sea as a boat captain in the 1980s. Can't you just see Jamie at the helm of a sailboat, barking orders to fire on adversary ships? Okay, so he wasn't that kind of boat captain. "I was diving and sailing every day," he told Mental Floss in 2013. But he still saw his fair divide of action. "I've been through two hurricanes down there, both of them on the boat," he said. And he also made a generator out of old parts he found on a shipwreck when he was stranded. Clearly the guy was destined to host MythBusters.

Destiny also apparently had love in store for Jamie. According to Wikidaddy, the nerdy couple met in 1984 while he was sailing around the Caribbean. They're a terrific match — they both have a deep love for science. Eileen is actually a math teacher and a member of the California Science Teachers Association.
