209: Explosive Decompression / Frog Giggin' / Rear Axle

NOTE: The audio lists this episode as season 1, which is wrong. It's confusing and we're sorry. For a full explanation, listen to episode 301: Myths Revisited.
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).
Plus: Cliff and Harrison debate how Jamie Hyneman is going to cause the end of the world. Robots?! Piles of scavenged parts?! Robots made out of piles of scavenged parts?! Nothing would surprise us after this week's episode of Try This at Home!

208: Escape From Alcatraz / Duck Quack / Stud Finder

It's time for a legendary season one episode as Adam and Jamie go behind bars (and into rain coat life rafts) to find out if it's really possible to escape from Alcatraz. 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. We can't even hide it, this episode is a classic. Relive every moment on this week's Try This at Home!

207: Stinky Car / Raccoon Rocket

Weak stomachs be warned: The grossest episode in Mythbusters history has arrived. It's a gut-wrenching journey into the world of porcine decomposition when Adam and Jamie test the myth of the stinky car, and we meet one of the greatest one-off characters we've seen all season. Then it's good ol' southern-fried fun when the guys see whether or not a blocked drain pipe can become a deadly racoon cannon – y'know, that old chestnut. Listen to Cliff and Harrison break down every moment on this week's Try This at Home!

206: Lighting Strikes Tongue Piercing / Tree Cannon / Beat the Breath Test

Lightning may not strike twice, but if you've got a door knob on your face you probably shouldn't be surprised when the electricity comes knocking. That's what's on the (blueprint) table this week as Adam and Jamie tackle the myth of whether facial piercings can attract a deadly lightning strike. 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. It's day drinking, but for science!
Still reeling from last week's case of the buried alive ick, Cliff and Harrison look for signs of life with three new myths – and the biggest explosion we've seen yet. Can season 1 come back from beyond the grave? Find out on this week's Try This at Home!

205: Hammer Bridge Drop / Buried Alive / Cola

Well, it had to happen eventually. This week, Cliff and Harrison dive into what might be the first miss in an otherwise dead-on first season of Mythbusters, as the trio of myths leave our hosts shaking their heads – and fearing for Jamie's life.
From six feet below to hundreds of feet up, this episode really has it all. And by all, we mean lots of weird soda myths. It's an odd (and oddly memorable) journey on this week's Try This at Home!

204: Penny Drop / Deadly Microwaves / Radio Tooth Fillings

Adam and Jamie have some 'splaining to do when they tackle a myth from the Queen of Comedy herself, Lucille Ball! Can tooth fillings pick up radio broadcasts? And what does a World War have to do with it?!
Plus, Cliff and Harrison go to new heights as they break down a legendary story about deadly pennies launched from the Empire State Building and get worried about Jamie's future as a super villain when he makes a horrifying mega-microwave. What could be more Mythbusters than that? Join the guys for a deep dive into it all on this week's Try This at Home!

203: Barrel of Bricks / Pissing on the Third Rail / Eel Skin Wallet

Sometimes Mythbusters is mostly about weird ways to die – and this week Adam and Jamie have two (count 'em) two strange tales about shuffling off the mortal coil. But as we know, they don't just tell the myths, they... Pee on the third rail themselves?!
First up, it's a dive into cartoon physics as the guys test the myth of the killer barrel of bricks. Then it's time to get electric (boogie woogie woogie) when high voltage meets low class in two myths about the power of the zap. And somehow wallets have something to do with it? Cliff and Harrison break down a strangely memorable episode in Mythbusting history on this week's Try This at Home!

202: Cell Phone Destruction / Silicone Breasts / CD-ROM Shattering

Adam and Jamie are back in their element this week with kabooms aplenty. Cellphones, implants and CDs are all put through the ringer as the boys try to dispel some of the most pervasive myths around random explosions. Join Cliff and Harrison as they giggle their way through every mention of exploding chests and fiery gas stations on this week's Try This at Home!
