How did an animal handler get bit by a snake on the set of MythBusters? How did Kari pioneer cyborg cockroach technology a decade before the military started weaponizing it? Special guest Owen from East Bay Vivarium reveals the chaos behind the "Smell of Fear" experiment that left Kari covered in scorpions and still traumatized to this day. Plus: Grant's brutal Megalodon injury caught on never-before-seen footage.
