Mythfits

Could you build and fly your own airplane? Engineer, inventor, pilot, and YouTuber Xyla Foxlin joins Kari Byron and Tory Belleci to talk about building a real airplane from scratch, launching rockets, and testing wild engineering ideas that feel straight out of MythBusters. Along the way, Kari and Tori dig into some of their wildest MythBusters memories - including the episode where they used a 747 to flip a bus, the Fire Dragons rocket myth that had all three of them losing their minds on camera, and the giant pumpkin experiment that may or may not have made it past sprouts.

What's the one myth Kari and Tory always wanted to test on MythBusters but never could? Can a Formula One car generate enough downforce to actually drive upside down? Former professional racing driver Scott Mansell joins Kari and Tory to answer that exact question, break down the wild physics behind Project Inversion, and why he's volunteering to be the one strapped in for the attempt.

Disclaimer: This episode contains educational discussions of animal mating behaviors and includes anatomical terms.

Why do female praying mantises eat the male’s head after mating? Why did Australia go to war with an emu? Kari and Tory celebrate Valentine's Day with award-winning environmentalist Natalie Kyriacou, as she teaches the absolute weirdest and most intriguing mating rituals and facts in the animal kingdom. Natalie also reveals the conservation science behind these bizarre behaviors and how nature's strangest love stories connect to extinction. And fair warning: don't take dating advice from the animal kingdom.

What happens when a 140-pound chimp you raised like family decides you're no longer the alpha? Animal trainer Keith Bauer reunites with Kari and Tory to reveal why chimps - not grizzly bears - are the most dangerous animals he's ever worked with. How did a routine drive turn into a horror movie with his ear in the cup holder? And the most shocking part: what did the chimp do when it saw Keith a month later? Plus: the bear survival tricks that actually work, and why the animals from your favorite movies are vanishing from Hollywood forever.

How did MythBusters inspire the Slow Mo Guys to create one of YouTube's biggest channels? Gav and Dan reveal how watching MythBusters' high-speed explosion shots changed everything, why old high-speed cameras were terrible compared to today's technology and Dan's brutal 15-foot drop in front of Tony Hawk that nearly broke his pelvis. Plus, the one MythBusters experiment Gav and Dan desperately want to retest with modern cameras, and a fan submission that might finally prove arrow-splitting is possible.
