>> this came about because vince gilligan, the creator and show runner of "breaking bad" was doing an interview last year. they asked him as a fan of lots of other tv shows, is there one in particular that he would want to do a crossover show with, and he said "myth busters" and we had had a the "breaking bad" -- we had this episode on our books for a long time and it was just -- we had to bring them together. >> it's funny because i've often wondered how much they, like, if they have a chemistry consultant an the show or how much they are thinking about particularly in the earlier seasons how much they're thinking about whether the chemistry that they're putting on the show is actually true. do you guys have a judgment to render on how fictional this is? >> well, they did get the fact that the acid they chose to dispose of a body in a bathtub was very dangerous. they did not get the fact right about -- >> the way in which it's dangerous. >> why it's dangerous. >> yeah, that's something that keeps happening. it's like all these bodies keep getting dissolved. i keep thinking if it were
