Hi Adam, it's Doug Graham (aka KB7RKY) from the MythBusters Fan Club (MBFC), and the First Church Of Buster (FCOB) at this end. I'm honored to have had a small part in shaping the Mythbusters legacy; to have taken part in your one and only Mailbag Special (I'm going to be forever known as the “Here I am! HI!” guy, catapulting paintball fill at the model boat), and especially honored to count you and the entire MB cast and crew among my many friends. It was especially great to have seen you and Jamie in Spokane, WA, last December. I was beyond thrilled when you said you remembered who I was :D

I do have a few questions, and I hope you can answer them, but first, I hope you're feeling better...I know you were initially sick when you first announced this AMA.

Now, my questions:

1. What were your thoughts when Mythbusters, in general, was just getting started? Did you ever think the show would be as popular as it has been?

2. What were your thoughts when Mythbusters started to gain in popularity, ie: Was there ever a time, in the entire 14-year run, when you thought, “Okay, this is it. We're done, we've tested every myth we can think of/the fans have”?

3. What were your thoughts when you and Jamie stared down the inevitable end of Mythbusters, and, now that the final episode is mere hours away, what are your thoughts now?

Finally, after seeing “Buster's Last Ride” on the Discovery site, I need to ask...just how many whacks did it take for you to break the champagne bottle over Buster's head on the rocket sled? And, was that a ballistics gel fist he had?

And now, for my promised farewell speech:

...well, I really can't think of anything poignant to say, except to quote Shakespeare, who is a far better wordsmith than I am:

"And whether we shall meet again I know not. Therefore our everlasting farewell take: For ever, and for ever, farewell, friends! If we do meet again, why, we shall smile; If not, why, then this parting was well made. "

It is with a very heavy heart that I say, "Fare thee well, Mythbusters, and thank you...until we meet again"

Your friend:

Doug Graham

Smile and nod...I have no idea what that Redditor is talking about, either...

Hi guys...it's Doug from the Mythbusters Fan Club here. Glad to see you're all still active in some fashion or another. Would you be open to doing college lectures again (like Kari and Grant did some years ago at my old alma mater, the University of Idaho)? Caveat...you have to bring Tory along this time ;)
