Isn't television glamourous?

In the summer of 2002, we had spent six weeks shooting the three pilots of Mythbusters, and Jamie[Hyneman] called me up afterward - well, first he called me up to tell me to clear my crap back out of his shop - and he said, "Well, that was kind of fun, wasn't it? I mean, I don't see where this could go, because we pretty much did everything. But it was fun."

Bigger is always better.

I think the whole thing that Jamie [Hyneman] and I have in working together is that we are constantly simplifying each other's designs, and we both appreciate that the quickest and the dirtiest solution is usually the most elegant, the least expensive, and the fastest.

This is the point in the show where we say, 'Oh, what else do we have in the van that's flammable?'

We're allowed to explore the world at large on these things; the urban-legend aspect of it is just kind of an excuse.

Being a geek is all about learning the inventories of things.
