After a 13-year run, the final episode of MythBusters' final season aired this weekend, and a reunion special featured a goodbye from a few special guests. President Barack Obama himself recorded a farewell to the show's hosts, sharing some memories and thanking them for "inspiring so many of our young people to ask the big questions about our world, and to seek the answers through math, science, and engineering."

This isn't the first time Obama has made an appearance with the team. He previously asked them to the White House for an episode, which the president alluded to in his goodbye. After thanking the MythBusters, he added that "the Secret Service will rest easier without you around on our south lawn."
