"Jess assembles Buster for the "Big Rig" show, specifically, to test the tire-blowout myth. Poor guy's been abused by the MythBusters for many a day, helping them bust many a myth, and he always arrives in pieces. Luckily for him, Jess knows her way around a dummy, and how to make them useful. Plus, it's a really nice, sunny spring day."

"Jamie cuts away a piece of the pickup truck that will be the power source to spin the wheel of the big rig – it's not easy figuring out how to get a semi tire to spin at highway speeds and blow up. We're testing the myth that a flying piece of tire will decapitate and kill a motorist in proximity to such a serious event. Jamie goes old school with the oxyacetylene torch to make sure the wheel of the pickup truck will spin freely."

"Adam works the excavator to dig the holes so the truck tires will spin free. There's nothing more fun than some serious hydraulic power, joysticks and a shovel at the end of it all."

"Adam, don't look now, but there's a giant truck hanging over your head! No, really, he knows. And what the powerful excavator can't do is fine-tune the holes to fit the tires of the pickup so they'll spin, so we can see what happens when a big rig tire blows up."

"Ahhh -- now I can just chill until it's time for my close-up. I wonder what I'll have to do today?"

"Don't even think about trying on my hat while I weld this piece of metal in place on the truck so it doesn't jump around once we lower this giant trailer on top of it."

"What? You've never done this before? What could go wrong? What? Poor Buster? That's his job. He likes it, really. That's what he told Jess."

"Jamie had his turn with the oxyacetylene torch and now I get to play with it. And since I'm cutting, and now welding, my hat should be safe."
