Try This at Home: A Mythbusters Rewatch322: Border SlingshotCan you really build a human-sized slingshot to launch yourself across the border? And more importantly… should you? This week on MythBusters, Adam and Jamie take on one of the show’s weirdest myths yet: the tale of immigrants supposedly flinging themselves from the Canada into the United States. Yes, Canada.
In a rare twist, the episode focuses on just one myth, which has Cliff and Harrison debating whether less is more when it comes to MythBusters mayhem. Plus, we take a detour into the surprisingly real world of professional slingshotting (yes, that's a thing).

Try This at Home: A Mythbusters RewatchRemembering Grant Imahara - with Fon DavisGrant Imahara was an electrical engineer and roboticist who joined Mythbusters in 2005 as part of the Build Team and would go on to appear in more than two hundred episodes. Remembered for his robot building, Jamie impersonating, and always immaculate black dress shirts, Grant was a beloved presence whose skills as a builder took Mythbusters’ experiments to a whole other level – and whose abilities as a communicator further established the show as a tool for science education.
After his passing in 2020, Grant's friends and family established the Grant Imahara Steam Foundation with a mission to inspire emerging talen...2025-06-2741 min

He’s a fan favorite now, but how did his first day on the job go?

It's a dream come true for our hosts as they pick Adam's brain on the origins of Mythbusters, how the show evolved, and what he thinks made it so special.

We're talking of course about Mythbusters' iconic narrator, Robert Lee. A professional voice artist for decades, he's the voice in your head anytime you hear the phrase "Busted," and having leant his inimitable (though it hasn't stopped us from trying) style to every single episode of the show, plus the spin off series, commercials, clips specials, and more, he's the longest serving ca...2024-12-1143 minTry This at Home: A Mythbusters RewatchThe Best of Mythbusters (so far) - with Writer Andrew FarrellSeason 2 of Try This at Home is just around the corner, but before they move ahead in the rewatch Cliff and Harrison wanted to take one more look back at the show they've seen so far – and they've brought along some very special guests to help! This week, the guys cast their votes for the best Mythbusters Side Character, Best Explosion, and overall Best Myth from season 1. Then they chat with writer and producer Andrew Farrell about his time on the show, how he approached crafting an episode, and his memories of the legendary Stinky Car myth.

And outside of Adam and Jamie, no one was more crucial to that mix than the show's resident folklorist, Dr. Heather Joseph-Witham.

It's a jam-packed episode seemingly designed to make our hosts squirm as Adam and Jamie tackle the myth of Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa's final resting place. Is he at the 50 yard line in giants stadium? Do we need to leave rotting pigs in front of M5 for two months to answer that question? The answers may surprise you! (No, we definitely didn't need the dead pigs...)

Then it's into the fish tank and off to the orchestra for two silly myths which might be light on science but heavy on pure WTF – Wacky Testing Fun.

It's the most explosive episode of Mythbusters yet as Adam and Jamie find out what it takes to make an airplane decompress in spectactular Hollywood fashion (hint: it's high explosives). Then it's into the swamp for a myth that has less to do with frogs than the name might imply and go back to the Golden Age with a story based on a legendary George Lucas film (no, not that one).

The fan-favorite myth is Mythbusters at its mid-2000's best – but a piece of modern-day research might just change everything.
And if that wasn't enough, it's time to "Quack, damn you!" for a surprisingly complex and technology-filled myth about barnyard reverberations, and Cliff and Harrison marvel at the conspiratorial half-life of a different sort of quackery.

Then it's off to the forest and into the clink as the guys see if you make a cannon out of nothing more than a tree trunk (and lots of high-powered tools), then see whether or not it's possible to beat the breathalyzer.
