116: Buried in Concrete / Daddy Longlegs / Jet Taxi

It's the final episode of season one, but the Mythbusters – and Try This at Home – still have a few surprises up their sleeves. 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 we meet what may become the Mythbusters' greatest villain when the insurance company shuts down an experiment to test weather a jet engine can blow a taxi off the road. And finally it's off to the Lair of the Hyneman where the creepy crawlies run wild and Cliff and Harrison scream to find out if the Daddy Longlegs is really the most dangerous spider in the world.

Try This at Home will return for season two in January of 2025, but in the meantime don't miss the special bonus episodes featuring the best of the show so far and some very special guests, starting next week when the guys sit down with Mythbusters resident folklorist, Dr. Heather Joseph-Witham!
