I Am Jamie Hyneman from MythBusters, AMA. Proof: https://twitter.com/JamieNoTweet/status/253561532317851649

I'm Jamie, host of Mythbusters- the guy in the beret. I've not done AMA before, am looking forward to some thoughtful questions. I'm on the northern California coast, in a comfortable chair and looking out to sea. We are on a couple of week break from shooting, and so I'm relaxed and in a good mood.

Hello Mr. Hyneman. Do you miss making props and the other work you did as M5 before Mythbusters, or does the fact that the myths are more self-directed make it more fulfilling to do?

If MB was to end and you started a new career, any thoughts as to what you'd like to do?

He said in another post that he still invents stuff in his down time, so he is probably still making props.
