    The guy behind Mythbusters' blueprints – with Producer & Cartoonist Eric Haven

    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 Media Hosted by Cliff Bumgardner and Harrison Stewart Music by the Mysterious Breakmaster Cylinder Cover art by Barbour Shop Creative Services

    326: Chinese Invasion Alarm / The Five Second Rule

    325: Mythbusters Revisited

    Give your commenting fingers a rest, because this week the Mythbusters are back to tackle the fans' complains and requests with another Myths Revisited episode! Seven myths return to the testing ground as Adam, Jamie, and the Build Team walk in the rain, go flying with plywood, and... get cars hot in a parking lot? (We don't get that one either.)  Plus, Cliff and Harrison debate whether the fans really ever wrote in with such silly complaints or if it was a clever bit of storytelling from our favorite explosive crew. It's a jam-packed episode for this week's Try This at Home!   Produced by Slug Line Media Hosted by Cliff Bumgardner and Harrison Stewart Music by the Mysterious Breakmaster Cylinder Cover art by Barbour Shop Creative Services

    324: Escape Slide Parachute / Exploding Hair Cream

    Can an airplane escape slide be used as a parachute? And can hair cream cause jets to explode? It's aviation absurdity as the Mythbusters tackle two sky-high myths destined to destroy Buster in ways we never imagined.  Plus: A special bonus myth sends Cliff and Harrison down a Research Hole on the incredibly true story of the flight attendant who survived the longest fall in human history. Plop til you drop on this week's new Try This at Home!    Produced by Slug Line Media Hosted by Cliff Bumgardner and Harrison Stewart Music by the Mysterious Breakmaster Cylinder Cover art by Barbour Shop Creative Services

    323: Killer Tissue Box / Splitting an Arrow

    Can a tissue box become deadly? And is it really possible to split an arrow down the middle just like Robin Hood? This week the Mythbusters tackle two myths about unlikely aerodynamics – and Cliff and Harrison struggle to keep the show flying straight.  Our intrepid hosts battle the weather to bring you a laugh-out-loud episode that travels from the cutting edge all the way back to the Ye Olde days and leaves us wondering how Mythbusters ever existed without Grant Imahara. Don't miss a second on this week's new Try This at Home!    Produced by Slug Line Media Hosted by Cliff Bumgardner and Harrison Stewart Music by the Mysterious Breakmaster Cylinder Cover art by Barbour Shop Creative Services

    9 JULY

    322: Border Slingshot

    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. Yes, Canada.  In a rare twist, the episode focuses on just one myth, which has Cliff and Harrison debating whether less is more when it comes to MythBusters mayhem. Plus, we take a detour into the surprisingly real world of professional slingshotting (yes, that's a thing). Tune in for human launch physics, airborne awkwardness, and a whole lot of confusion on this week’s new Try This at Home!   Produced by Slug Line Media Hosted by Cliff Bumgardner and Harrison Stewart Music by the Mysterious Breakmaster Cylinder Cover art by Barbour Shop Creative Services

    2 JULY

    321: Bulletproof Water / 360 Degree Swing Set

    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. Plus, what really happens when you fire a shotgun into a giant tank of water? The result is loud, wet, and probably not OSHA-approved. Whether you’re a longtime MythBusters fan or just here for the explosions, you won’t want to miss this wild ride through one of the show’s most memorable episodes!
