203: Barrel of Bricks / Pissing on the Third Rail / Eel Skin Wallet

Sometimes Mythbusters is mostly about weird ways to die – and this week Adam and Jamie have two (count 'em) two strange tales about shuffling off the mortal coil. But as we know, they don't just tell the myths, they... Pee on the third rail themselves?!

First up, it's a dive into cartoon physics as the guys test the myth of the killer barrel of bricks. Then it's time to get electric (boogie woogie woogie) when high voltage meets low class in two myths about the power of the zap. And somehow wallets have something to do with it? Cliff and Harrison break down a strangely memorable episode in Mythbusting history on this week's Try This at Home!

NOTE: The audio lists this episode as season 1, which is wrong. It's confusing and we're sorry. For a full explanation, listen to episode 301: Myths Revisited.
