OK, they end each segment with Confirmed, Plausible or Busted. Do Jaime and Adam ever disagree? Like one sez “Confirmed” but the other “Plausible”?😕 ---

Yes, they do sometimes. ---

I don’t think you’d ever get confirmed + plausible. I’m pretty there was one of the Hollywood myths that was just baaaaarely plausible to the point that it was nearly busted. The net result was that Adam wanted to call it Plausible because there was a slim chance it could happen and Jaime was for Busted because it was astronomically unlikely. Can’t remember what myth it was, though. ---

The myth about a bullet falling out of the sky and killing someone was all three. ---

One “Hollywood” myth that I remember having a very fuzzy resolution was “Can a cigarette light a pool of gasoline on fire?” They found cigarettes are only (_just barely_) hot enough to ignite gasoline if they are being actively smoked, so plausible, but only in the most perfect of conditions (and not the usual Hollywood style of flicking a lit cigarette into gasoline). But I don’t remember if that was what **JSexton** was thinking where Adam and Jamie argued Plausible/Busted to a draw. ---

I’ve never seen them disagree on myths that were clearly busted. Theres been a few times where the myth was plausible only in the most extreme and unique set of circumstances. One mythbuster says failed and the other says plausible. One example is the true story of Serbian flight attendant Vesna Vulovic. > **[JAT Flight 367](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAT_Flight_367)** > > JAT Yugoslav Airlines Flight 367 was a McDonnell Douglas DC-9-32 aircraft (registration YU-AHT) which exploded shortly after overflying NDB Hermsdorf (located in or around Hinterhermsdorf, in the present-day municipality of Sebnitz), East Germany, while en route from Stockholm to Belgrade on 26 January 1972. The aircraft, piloted by captain Ludvik Razdrih and first officer Ratko Mihić, broke into three pieces and spun out of control, crashing near the village of Srbská Kamenice in Czechoslovaki... The MB’s couldn’t recreate a scenario where she survived.\*\* I think\*\* that resulted in a split vote. Can’t recall for sure. ---

> [@boffking](#): > > The myth about a bullet falling out of the sky and killing someone was all three. Well, that was because there were three different versions of the myth. it wouldn’t happen if you shot straight up, due to the terminal velocity of the bullet. But no one shoots perfectly straight up, meaning it now has horizontal velocity. But, of course, that means it’s unlikely to kill the shooter. ---

Rise, My Zombie, Riiiise! (cue evil laugh) OK, the Science Channel is re-running all of these again, Fun times! So, can anyone point to a \*exact episode \*where Jamie said Busted and Adam said Plausible or some such combo? ---

It’s not formatted to easily glance and see the results. You have to click episode by episode. a PITA Jamie never seemed that invested in the Plausible/Busted segment of the show. I’d guess he acquiesced and agreed with Adam most of the time. Feeling it wasn’t worth arguing about. But who knows, there might have been a time or two that Jamie wouldn’t change his vote.
