## Resource

Why did Discovery send a cease and desist and how close did it get to a million dollar lawsuit? Kari and Tory sit down with Allen Pan, the genius YouTuber, inventor, and engineer who almost became a MythBuster, to unpack the wild, never-before-told chaos behind MythBusters: The Search as well as the controversy behind the Warner/Discovery cease and desist, MythBusters trademark, and the fallout that followed.
