Episode Details

What happens when YouTube's "Queen of Sh*tty Robots", Simone Giertz, gets diagnosed with a golf ball-sized brain tumor? Which of Simone's inventions has a striking resemblance to one of the MythBusters crew? Simone Giertz joins Kari and Tori to share her incredible journey from building hilarious useless robots (like the face-slapping alarm clock) to facing a life-changing diagnosis and brain surgery. Plus, Simone reveals the MythBusters inspiration that made her want to be a builder in the first place.
