NOTE: Apologies for the audio quality of this episode. Somebody put Buster in charge of Harrison's Internet connection, and it didn't go well. We've got our best robots on it and will have it fixed for next time.  This week, Cliff and Harrison dive into the slop-tastic AI language pool that is ChatGPT, asking everyone's favorite robot overlord to write an episode of Mythbusters. How does it stack up? And what version of the show do we prefer? (Spoiler: Definitely the real deal.) Try This at Home will return with new rewatches soon, but in the meantime join us for special bonus episodes posted every two weeks!    Produced by Slug Line MediaHosted by Cliff Bumgardner and Harrison StewartMusic by the Mysterious Breakmaster CylinderCover art by Barbour Shop Creative Services

When you think of Mythbusters, a few things come to mind: epic explosions, wild experiments… and rectal probes. But one of the most iconic elements of the show? Those unforgettable blueprint drawings. This week, Cliff and Harrison are joined by Eric Haven — cartoonist, producer, and the mastermind behind many of those legendary sketches. An Industrial Light & Magic alum, Eric joined MythBusters alongside the Build Team (and past guest Peter Heap!) and transformed the show's storytelling with nothing more than a silver Sharpie and serious artistic chops. Over the years, he created hundreds of blueprint sequences that became a signature of the series. This week, Eric shares how he got involved with the Mythbusters team and what it was liking shaping the show's visual identity – even if he didn't realize it at the time.   Produced by Slug Line MediaHosted by Cliff Bumgardner and Harrison StewartMusic by the Mysterious Breakmaster CylinderCover art by Barbour Shop Creative Services

Can 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.

Can jumping into water really stop a speeding bullet? And what happens if you try to pull off a full 360-degree loop on a swing set? Spoiler: it involves rockets, questionable physics, and a lot of yelling. Sounds like a classic MythBusters episode—and that's exactly what Cliff and Harrison are diving into this week on Try This at Home. We’re talking high-speed chaos, indoor explosions (sorry, M5!), and the moment the Build Team strapped a rocket to a playground swing... because science.

Grant 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 talent and empower historically marginalized youth in science, technology, engineering, art, and math education. This week, we're celebrating the life and work of Grant Imahara with his longtime friend, foundation board member, and fellow effects artist, Fon Davis.
