In case you are:
a) a fan (or foe) of The Discovery Channel’s hit show Mythbusters
and
b) looking for something amusing and interesting to occupy some free reading time
then Steve over at The Sneeze can hook you up with the first part of a really great intervew with Adam Savage that he recently did. It is an entertaining read which gives some background on how they got together, details about sexual orientation (admit it, you’re dying to know), the price of fame, moustache impressions, etc. I’m really anxious for part 2.
Here’s a couple teaser clips to arouse your interest:
You’ve been working with Jamie a long time, what was your first impression of him the day you met?
Oh, that he was gay. I couldn’t believe he wasn’t gay. (LAUGHING)
And we heard word from Discovery on Saturday, and that what they said was, “These are just the geeks we were looking for!” But apparently among themselves they wondered if they could do a show with a couple of homosexuals from San Francisco.
When the show first started airing, Jamie and I both got a lot of gay fan mail. He got a little upset at first, and his wife pointed out “Jamie, take the compliment! Someone thinks you’re really hot! It’s okay if it’s a man.” And he was cool with that, and relaxed about it.
At some point in there, he got an email that said “I want to suck that mustache right off your face!” (LAUGHING)
Most of what was talked about wasn’t related to homosexuality, I swear. I don’t know what it says about me that everything I excerpted
was.
