320: Killer Brace Position / Cell Phone vs. Drunk Driving

Episode 42

Wednesday, June 25, 2025 • Duration 58:16

Is the airline "brace position" secretly a plot to kill you faster? Or is that just mile-high nonsense? Either way, it’s exactly the kind of wacky conspiracy the MythBusters were born to bust–and we’re strapping in for the ride. Even better? This episode marks the legendary debut of Grant Imahara! He’s a fan favorite now, but how did his first day on the job go?

Plus: Is talking on the phone in your car as dangerous as driving drunk? Cliff and Harrison put their hands-free mythbusting helmets on and dive in.

All that, plus a big announcement: This Friday, June 27th, we’re dropping a special bonus episode celebrating the life and work of Grant Imahara, featuring his longtime friend and fellow effects wizard, Fon Davis. Don’t miss it!

319: Jet Pack / Pyramid Power

Episode 41

Wednesday, June 18, 2025 • Duration 01:02:01

Do pyramids have magical mathematical protective properties? No seriously, that's the question. It's a detour into "oogy boogy" territory as the Mythbusters tackle the legend of pyramid power. Plus: we get the biggest build in Mythbusters history (so far) as Adam and Jamie see if they can build their very own jet pack!

Cliff and Harrison break it all down and find out why copper is a "real cool" metal on this week's new Try This at Home!

Episode 32

Wednesday, April 9, 2025 • Duration 01:05:28

This week Buster's going up up and... Well, mostly sideways into the ground as the Mythbusters test the story of the Ming Dynasty Astronaut! Plus, is it possible to create truly free energy – and can your ceiling fan kill you?

Cliff and Harrison break down three new myths – and question how well some of them have aged – on this week's Try This at Home!

310: Exploding House / Talking to Plants / Needle in a Haystack

Episode 31

Wednesday, April 2, 2025 • Duration 01:05:02

When the episode is called Exploding House, you know you're in for some good old fashioned Mythbusting! This week the guys break down three awesome myths that may just be the show at its Bustin' best as Adam, Jamie, and the Build Team look for the truth behind explosive bug bombs, test whether talking to plants helps them grow, and tackle an age old idiom by finding a needle in a haystack.

All that plus a new (old) name on the writing staff gives the guys plenty to dig into on this week's Try This at Home!

309: Boom Lift Catapult / Windows Down vs. Air Conditioning

Episode 30

Wednesday, March 26, 2025 • Duration 58:48

It's a contraption that would make Wile E. Coyote proud: this week the Mythbusters test the catapulting abilities of a boom lift – if, that is, they can get the "Gremlins" out first. This episode takes Buster to new highs (and lows) and proves why you should never feed a boom lift after midnight.

Plus! Does driving with your windows down save on gas? We don't know, but Adam, Jamie, and a giant bag of slop are here to find out. The first episode written AND directed by previous guests of the pod, it's a perfect combo for this week's new Try This at Home!

308: Pingpong Rescue / Carried Away

Episode 29

Wednesday, March 19, 2025 • Duration 59:43

It's time to get carried away as the Mythbusters test two tall tales about unlikely buoyancy. First up, it's the rebirth of the infamous Mythtanic (also known as the jalapeño) as Adam and Jamie see whether you can salvage a ship using nothing but (tens of thousands of) ping pong balls!

Then it's the Build Team's turn to fly as they test how many balloons it takes to float a child into the air. Sound ridiculous? It is! But that's why we love Mythbusters. Don't miss a moment of this week's new Try This at Home!

307: Exploding Jawbreaker / Static Cannon / Killer Playing Card

Episode 28

Wednesday, March 12, 2025 • Duration 01:02:00

Open wide and put on your bomb suit, because this week the Mythbusters are taking on the science of exploding jawbreakers! It's a harrowing episode which leaves two Mythbusters scarred – and our hosts wondering what is even the point of giant sugar death orb candies in the first place.

Then it's a new top-tier cameo when legendary magician and actor Ricky Jay joins Adam and Jamie to test whether playing cards can become deadly weapons. And things get electric in the myth of the static cannon. Cliff and Harrison break it all down in this week's Try This at Home!

306: Killer Quicksand / Bathtub Electrocution / Exploding Tattoos

Episode 27

Wednesday, March 5, 2025 • Duration 55:47

You know it's a classic episode when one of our hosts declares it his all time favorite – but can he convince his partner in podcasting to agree? That's what's at stake this week as Adam and Jamie test whether quicksand is really as dangerous as the movies would have you believe.

And while we're talking about dangerous depths, the Mythbusters take a dive with some household electronics to see if a slip up in the bathtub can cause a shocking end. Then it's over to the Build Team for a myth about MRI's and tattoos. Don't miss a single magnetized minute on this week's Try This at Home!

Episode 25

Wednesday, February 19, 2025 • Duration 57:35

This week the Mythbusters go from falling to flying as they test whether jumping in a plummeting elevator can save your life – and if you can make a leviation machine from nothing but household parts (and an entire machine shop full of experts).

Plus, stay tuned for the show-within-the-show known as Adam Hurts Himself! This episode, Adam hurts himself on a vacuum motor AND a hovercraft! Thankfully he laughs about it, so we can too. Okay, we would've laughed anyway. It's a stellar episode that gives one of our hosts all the joy, and the other all the... feels? Find out why on this week's Try This at Home!
