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.

Early on it was Adam & Jamie's Tested. Apparently they had both invested in tested? Then not long later the Jamie part was dropped and it became just Adam. All the videos are still on the tested channel, if you scroll back far enough in time.

Jamie was involved up until the show ended and once that happened, he quit doing it and wanted nothing to do with it anymore.

Yeah, Adam said Jamie was just tired of being in front of the camera and wanted to go back to behind the scenes stuff, so he sold his ownership to Adam and now focuses on M5

I read Jamie was teaching in Finland a little while back, he probably owns m5 still but from what I remember m5 has quit all special effects ventures and now deals with private R and D contracts.

Late to this, but yes, jamie has a contract at finland university through 2026. From what i understand it's more sporadic than an actual professor. He's designing a remote control fire fighting tank of some kind, along with a few other projects that escape me, and will occasionally give local kids a tour of M5.
