Miles Flannery - he's a beast. Very talented, but a brute. He's one of three guys who help us keep the shop maintained, help us set up on location and assist in building something if time is short.

Both Adam and I come from a practical effects background.

Arachnophobia' was one of the first films I did major effects for.

As far as I'm concerned, raising the bar or encouraging kids in large numbers to be interested in science, I can't think of anything I'd rather see happen.

We're fond of pointing out that we've known each other for over 25 years now and not once sat down alone to have dinner together. We pretty much avoid spending whatever time together that we can.

Adam's impulsive and energetic, and I'm calm and methodical.

Neither Adam or I are scientists, we're not engineers or anything of the sort. We just have a lot of fun and the thing is, fun for us happens to involve science and satisfying our curiosity.

Occasionally, you know, a myth is specific with a certain model of car, you know, like a Corvette or whatever. And so we end up spending some cash on those.

If you get the question right, if you really define it, then the answers are just sitting there waiting for you. And it's something a little different than people usually think.

One of the main reasons for success on the show is that we're not a demonstration show. We're an experimentation show.

If we knew what we were doing we wouldn't be entertaining.

It's the results that are surprising, even results where we've totally screwed up, and then learned something in the process, are the ones that stand out. Having our preconceptions overturned is actually thrilling for us.

I don't see that we're any different than many, many people that are out there. And it's hard to kind of accept something like we're larger than life, super-people or something like that.

I have to say that we're not actors, at least on 'Mythbusters' or any of the other television projects that we've done.

Some of the most important discoveries that scientists have made were not what they were seeking at the time.

We've done a zombie episode - only one - and the way we look at it as is we understand that there probably aren't zombies out there for real, but there's a lot of interesting stuff we can test about them. We've tested how bodies of zombies pressing against a gate, would they push it through and things like that.

Well, one of the myths early on that I think is one of the funnier things we've done is airline toilet seats. That one was about a large woman that sat down on a seat in an airline and flushed the toilet and got stuck on it.

The core of what we're doing is, we're playing with the world. And our curiosity in doing that is what we are most proud of and what we like to put out there.

In my case you can pretty well figure that you can put a beret and a mustache on just about anything you want and it looks like me.

I think 'MythBusters' is a step up from special effects because we not only have to make things look like they work, they actually do have to work. It's more challenging and even transcendental.

There are things that you would think were not possible, and yet they are.

I've ended up water skiing behind the Stanford rowing team as well as water skiing behind an excavator while it swung around in a circle.

I work out regularly because I don't see the mind and body as that separate.

Duct tape is like that. It's a building block. You can make a rope out of it, you can make a cloth out of it. And because it sticks to stuff it's even more powerful. It's like an uber-material because of the versatility of a sticky fiber.
