"Listen, we clearly admonish viewers to 'not try this at home.'"
I doubt it. I haven’t seen to much of them lately since their cannonball escapade remodeled a few homes and rebuilt a minivan. I figure the lawyers are trying to work out a settlement with the affected parties.
FWIW a few years ago I had a interaction with one of the principles. I believe it was Jamie the one with the beret and bushy mustache. It was sort of benign but basically I was driving to fencing class down in the Mission district during the early evening. I approached a intersection with no stop sign and I glanced to my left and saw group of people on the sidewalk approaching the intersection from my left.
As I approached they were all talking and laughing together and apparently not paying real close attention to the traffic. They then without hesitation stepped off the curb into the crosswalk right into my path. I hit my brakes and they all glanced toward me for a second, sort of surprised that a car had stopped abruptly. Jamie was at the tail end of the group. I just watched as they crossed my front and shook my head. Technically they had the right of way when they entered the crosswalk but that would have been small consolation if I had plowed into them and hurt or killed one of them.
They were just tempting fate as a lot of pedestrians do in San Francisco and I would have been labeled the bad guy who messed up one of the Mythbusters. Thank God for small miracles I guess.
