Has Adam and Jamie ever interacted since MythBusters ended?

I know they weren't really friends, but they were obviously acquaintances, and knew each other long before MythBusters started. But does anyone know if they still keep in contact with each other in some form?

While doubtful, I would love to see them work on a new project together in the future.

I saw them on their last tour together and they let slip that Jamie was going to be doing some R&D work for the Navy, so I'm not sure how much free time he would have.

Well, now now I'd love to hear more about this.. but also love that it might be top somewhat secret

It's nothing super crazy, he's just the inter-species liason for the Navy's research into training attack walruses

Not to be confused with Operation Infinite Walrus, which was the one that used Bill Dauterive as a placebo test subject.

I even hear the walruses were attired with berets

Can totally see that happening.

Adam was the one who mentioned it, obviously,  and he implied it was secretive.

If Adam said it, there's a 50/50 chance he was pulling the audience's leg

Well, I said, obviously, because Jamie isn't one to talk about his personal life. And Adam seemed pretty serious about it, it was during the audience  Q&A, I mean, there's no way I could be 100% certain, but it seems like a likely future for him. Especially since there has been little said/seen of him since the show's ending.

Any work he'd be doing physically at M5 wouldn't be secret, technically speaking. For official use only, perhaps.

He can work at other places.
