Try This at Home: A Mythbusters Rewatch

313: Salsa Escape / Cement Mix Up

The headline might say Salsa Escape, but the true story is right below the fold: It's the cement truck explosion episode! This week Cliff and Harrison break down another legendary piece of Mythbusting history with iconic faces, moments, and catchphrases galore.
Plus! Come back this Friday for a special bonus episode with someone who was there as we interview Mythbusters cameraman Peter Heap!

312: Brown Note / Blown Away / Water Torture

Grab your adult diapers and some earplugs, because it's time for the infamous Brown Note! This week, Adam and Jamie (well, mostly Adam) find out if there's a subsonic frequency that can make your bowels release involuntarily... Which is the most polite way we'll describe that all episode. 
Then it's movie myth time as the team tests whether a gunshot can actually blow you off your feet – and an uncomfortable myth about the effects of torture leaves our hosts wondering how to feel about what they've just watched. All on this week's new Try This at Home!

311: Ming Dynasty Astronaut / Free Energy / Killer Ceiling Fan

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

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

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

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

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

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!
