What if we looked at life's toughest questions through the lens of the scientific method — question, hypothesize, experiment, analyze, conclude? Over the years, Kari Byron learned how to apply this in her role as a host on the hit show "MythBusters." With so much experience in the scientific method, Kari wanted to write a book about her life both on and off the set. She's called it, "Crash Test Girl" and you can find it on Amazon.

RTM Hosts Join The Show With Some 'Mythbusting' Friends

It's always fun when our RTM hosts surprise us, but this time they surprised each other. Nick, Christian, and Oli all went to the live tour of The White Rabbit Project featuring Kari Byron, Grant Imahara, and Tory Belleci (also formally of "Mythbusters"). During the show, Oli and Christian competed in an ice water challenge live on stage! It's probably safe to say the hosts of both shows should team up more often. Maybe with their experience, the White Rabbit crew can help us bust videos on "Real or Fake?" View Now
