I remember this mythbusters episode. They basically detected that plants “might “ scream or signal to other plants. They got some weird outliers too.

You misremember it a bit. They saw "activity" when the thing was connected to the plant. Then they moved the plant into a steel container and the readings stopped. They hypothesized that they detected something like vibrations from a busy street etc, not a plant "screaming".

It’s been years since I’ve seen it, so yeah that’s probably right

Mythbusters episodes are all over YouTube free for everyone. Just a little FYI in case you feel nostalgic

Huh, for me, that link redirects to https://www.youtube.com/MythBusters, which displays this:

Maybe it's not available in Canada?

Could be geoblocked. There's another channel too somewhere. Cold try googling it. Or setting VPN to somewhere in EU
