Why don’t Jamie and Adam like each other?

They seem like they would be the perfect ASD 🤝 ADHD friendship duo!

Is this an actual thing?? Have you hung out with many folks with autism?? I personally think they compliment each other well.. Jamie isn’t ur typical tv personality sure but the show doesn’t put pressure on him to change him which I appreciate…he is a science explosions experimentation guy… I assume he hates the cameras, so having Adam as a bit of a performer probably reduces heaps of stress. I reckon they’d be great friends, you have to know someone really well working with someone that closely for years.

No actually based on the responses I got here, it’s more of a rumor! I really appreciate everyone giving me more info on the situation

Did you ever work with someone you respected but didn't want to hang out with?
Neat-Illustrator7303@reddit (OP)
Totally! I’ve always heard that they hate each other though
jamjamason@reddit
I have never heard that.
Neat-Illustrator7303@reddit (OP)
I don’t know why it’s a “rumor” because apparently they don’t hate each other

That's a misconception. I don't know why people are getting upset, I've heard people say that as well
Neat-Illustrator7303@reddit (OP)
Haha thanks! I didn’t come up with it lol

Jamie is ten years older than Adam and was his boss before the show. It’s not that they don’t like each other, their relationship is just professional rather than personal.

This make sense!
Present_Ad6723@reddit
Right, it isn’t dislike, they just aren’t close and don’t hang out.

Some people just don't click.
(I think Adam just ties Jamie out on a day to day thing...)
Longjumping_Key_5008@reddit
Absolutely. They have very different personalities
Neat-Illustrator7303@reddit (OP)
I get that impression too haha

I wondered this when I was a kid and heard this little fun fact. I’m in the work force now and I get it. I tolerate these people as long as the check clears. And I certainly wouldn’t be doing it off the clock without financial compensation.
Neat-Illustrator7303@reddit (OP)
Jamie always seems like he’s there for the paycheck and the explosions and nothing else lol
SixSixWithTrample@reddit
And that’s fine. I’m at my work for the paycheck and the explosions too.

It's not that they don't like each other, they respect each other and can have a professional relationship; however they're two very different people. Adam seems like a extrovert while Jamie strikes me as extremely introverted. Hence their on screen chemistry likely doesn't translate into real life.

They do like each other. Friendship, liking working together, respecting each other, and ease of working together should all be thought of as separate things. We combine them when we find a friend at work because they are gonna probably have them all.
But you can like someone at work just fine. Respect the way they do things. Have some trouble working the way you do things with their way. And still like them.
Jamie’s disposition to work alone was in no way limited to Adam. Adam wanting maybe something different than that was not just him wanting it. I wouldn’t say what is between them is kinda a universal struggle and not something that wrecked them. They both wanted to continue the work together for over a decade. They both strived together. Some friends we only say hi to every ten years but they are still important friends.

They don't dislike each other either. They just have different personalities and would rather do different things outside of work. You can like and respect people as coworkers but not necessarily as friends
