This week is Shark Week on Discovery and one of our favorite shows, Mythbusters is going all out. If you’re a Mythbusters fan, you’ve GOT to see the shows this week.
Let me tell you, I’m a SCUBA diver from way back, and some of the stuff they’re doing – well, I wouldn’t do it. One of the myths they had was that lights make sharks more aggressive while diving at night. Grant, Tory, and Kari were in the water at night with a bunch of (blue?) sharks and they were getting pretty aggressive. I had to imagine myself in that same situation feeling the panic instinct starting to kick in. No thank you!
Adam, on the other hand, had a much more enjoyable time testing a myth about sharks being repelled by hot chili peppers. I won’t tell you the outcome, but Adam found the whole thing very enjoyable safely from within a steel cage.
There were several more tests all done with the same skill and entertainment value that you’ve come to expect from the Mythbusters. Go and check them all out!
If you haven’t caught our previous interviews with Grant Imahara and Adam Savage. Several years later and they’re still fun to listen to!
