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 work with someone you don't get along with.
"[Our relationship has] radically changed, but it's also stayed the same. Jamie and I make no bones about the fact that we're not friends," Savage told Business Insider recently, as the Discovery and Science Channel show approaches its series finale.
"We don't get along very well 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 hang out if we don't have to be in proximity, and yet, there's a couple of things that happened, and they're pretty remarkable."
Savage said there are several ways he and his cohost have made it work. Some ways came quite naturally, while others took some work.
Here's how Savage said he and Hyneman survived 14 seasons of "Mythbusters," although they don't get along:

That's a bit of a bummer to hear... but sounds like they are both good with it.
I have worked with several people who have my respect as colleagues but it would not occur to me to hang out with them outside of work. Decent people, but nothing in common outside of work.
I got it in the first season. No problem. Sometimes those with differing views interact the best when there's a common cause.
Who cares? I only watch it for the smoking hot red headed girl.
I wish that they would smoke and dispel some myths, if you know what I mean.
