About this episode

Kari and Tory discuss the biggest conflicts on the set of MythBusters with showrunner Tod Mesirow.

What was the BIGGEST fight on the set of MythBusters? Kari and Tory sit down with Tod Mesirow - one of the amazing showrunners behind MythBusters - and the stories that come out are ones you've never heard. The arguments, the pressure from the network, and the moments that almost derailed everything. Plus a cruise ship, a capsized boat in the Bahamas, and one very bad decision involving a water gun and a pregnant co-host.
