  • How to Survive a CHIMP ATTACK?! w/ MythBusters Animal Trainer Keith Bauer
    Jan 26 2026

    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.

  • The Slow Mo Guys React to MythBuster's BEST High-Speed Clips
    Jan 12 2026

    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.
