Wayde: On this episode of "Tanked"...

Brett: What a beautiful campus.

Our mascot's the devil.

Shape of the devil, Maybe some flames or something.

We could definitely Do something with flames.

Both: ohh!

I want it Just like a top hat.

He can do it. I like to Challenge them, you know?

Wayde: how long will it take To do another one of these?

We're not gonna have the time To rebuild this.

Oh, man. We're in trouble.

That is great!

What do you guys think?

[ cheers and applause ]

Hot, hot, hot, baby!

Wayde: I'm wayde king.

Brett: I'm brett raymer.

We're two new yorkers Who moved to las vegas

To follow our dreams...

To create underwater worlds Like no one's ever seen.

We build aquariums.

We're the number-one Aquarium builders in the world.

It's a family business, For sure.

[ indistinct shouting ]

I was forced Into this relationship.

I married brett's sister.

Brett: And my dad runs operations.

We call him "The general."

[ laughs ]

We may fight, But somehow we make it work.

If you can dream it, We can build it.

You can come by and look at it.

[ telephone ringing ]

Heather usually handles The billing for atm,

But for some reason, The general took it upon himself

To manage this one account, So I had to look into it.

Something Wasn't adding up right.

I just got off the phone with This client that owed us $1,000.

The guy said that he worked A payment plan out with you,

That he took care of it With you.

Yeah, I took care of it. He's all right.

How did he pay you?

Payment can be done In many, many different ways.

Did he pay Or didn't he pay?

It depends on how you want To look at it, okay?

In this case -- whoa.

In this case, He paid it in trade.

In trade.

What did he pay you in -- Sweat suits?

No, no.

He said he could get me 10 tickets for celine dion --

Backstage passes --

And I figured everybody else Would like that!

I don't even like Celine dion!

Did you ever see celine dion? It's the hottest ticket!

I got $250 tickets!

That's $2,500 for $1,000!

That's not good enough In trade?!

Not when I don't like Celine dion.

I don't have any time To argue right now.

I got a consult. I help, I help, I help.

Whatever I do, It's never any good.

My dad is always Full of surprises.

Yeah, I would've never pegged Him for a celine dion fan.

No, I meant the barter system That he's got going on.

We better have heather Double-check the books.

We're heading to fairleigh Dickinson university

In madison, new jersey.

Every year, the graduating Seniors leave a gift

For future classes To remember them by.

This year, The senior class

Wants to top Every class before them

By presenting an aquarium To the university.

Yeah, this class Has got some class.

We're meeting With the dean of students

And the class Gift committee.

Hey! Brett: what's up, guys?

How are you doing? All right?

Doing well. I'm brett. This is wayde.

So, this is The student center.

This is where, like, All the action happens.

This is the hub of all activity On this campus.

So, tell us What you guys want.

Well, the senior class -- They always give

A traditional gift -- A bench, a clock.

We have a lot of beautiful Grounds around the campus.

But we don't have a lake. We don't have a pond.

And they thought Of an aquarium.

Past gifts to the school Were a clock and a bench.

This aquarium will kick The clock and bench's butts.

Why don't you guys show us Where you want the aquarium?

Our campus pub. We think It'll be a great place.

Beautiful. That's right up my alley, too.

This room is more than just a Pub. It's a multipurpose room.

So, do you guys actually Serve alcohol in here?

Right here on campus. Keeps them safe.

Have a beer And walk home.

Safety first. I like This school's philosophy.

You just like the pub.

Wayde: you guys have A lot of space here.

We can build Anything you guys want.

We're thinking of something more Of, like, a little showpiece --

You know, maybe something, Like, behind the bar.

Maybe something By the bar?

Wayde: getting it back here Could be an issue.

Then the tap should definitely Have to come out of there.

Can't really have a pub Without beer taps.

Maybe you put it, like, In the dead-center

So everybody in the room Can enjoy it at the same time.

Yeah, this is A good spot.

Matter of fact, you've got Something pretty much outlined

On the floor right here Like a big rectangle.

Something like that, everybody Would be able to see it.

Everything in here's already Square -- the tables, the bar.

What about maybe, Like, round, or...?

Know what would be great Right here?

What's that? A racetrack.

What's that?

Racetrack is basically Where both ends of the tank

Instead of being flat like this Are round like this,

So when you look at it From the top,

It actually looks like A racetrack.

That'd be great.

What about theming? What Did you guys have in mind?

Our mascot's the devil,

So maybe we could have The shape of the devil,

Maybe some flames Or something like that.

Anything maybe inside With flames we can do?

Fire? Acrylic? Water? Inside?

That's a no-no, brett.

Yeah, I usually like to say Yes to anything, but --

I'm not saying no.

We could definitely Do something with flames.

On the inside? Outside, 100%.

Inside might be difficult.

But you know what? These guys can figure it out.

You can figure it out!

Kenzi: okay.

We'll get this fdu devils tank Reflecting school spirit

With one massive, Red-hot showpiece.

Before you guys go, I got a favor to ask.

When you come back For the install,

Would you mind speaking To one or two

Of my entrepreneurial Studies classes?

You want us to speak? Oh, definitely!

I'd love to speak! Can't you Tell I don't like to shut up?

[ scoffs ] That's for sure.

That's gonna be great. I can teach the kids.

I can tell them The whole story.

Brett: what do you mean, You're gonna teach them?

I'm a much better speaker Than you.

Who do you think they're gonna Want to listen to -- you or me?

This isn't cooking class. Do you think it's sports 101?

I'm gonna start writing My speech now.

Okay, well, whatever. I'm gonna type my speech.

Brett: Back in vegas, we're meeting With david, raphael, and janet

Of d bar j hat company.

Wayde: How are you doing?

Brett: D bar j handcrafts custom hats

Of all shapes and sizes.

They've had some big clients

Like clint black And tony curtis.

Are we underdressed Or something?

You guys are really dressed Really nice.

No, you're good. We're going out dancing

After we get through Chatting with you, so...

Beautiful. All right. I feel a little better.

These guys look like they just Stepped out of a time machine.

Well, why don't you guys show us Where you want the aquarium?

That'd be great. Back here.

Brett: d bar j just moved Into a newly renovated studio

Which will serve All sorts of purposes --

Entertainment, dance lessons,

And, most importantly,

A workshop where They can make their hats.

They want a tank to act

As a centerpiece For their new facility.

Wayde: Wow. Look at this place.

Brett: it's pretty cool Back here, too, huh?

Let me ask you a question -- How'd you get dancing, hats?

Hats, dancing -- How'd that come about?

I was on a country-western Dance team,

And all our hats Were getting messed up,

So I started repairing them, And it turned into a business.

There you go. Cool.

I see you guys Have an aquarium.

We need a bigger aquarium. [ laughs ]

We want an indoor koi pond, Basically -- big tank.

We moved into This great facility,

And we need a tank That matches this facility.

Brett: so, you want to Step it up with a new fish tank.

Janet: exactly. Sounds good to me.

I want it Just like a top hat.

Take the sunglasses off.

Don't stretch her hat out. [ laughs ] There we go.

Wayde: dude, in that top hat, I look like fred astaire.

More like fred accini. Who?

Fred accini? Alfredo?

Wayde: this hat Goes straight on the side.

I don't want it like this. I want it to be flare-topped.

You want the top to flare out A little bit all the way around.

Raphael: since we entertain here Quite a bit,

We'd like the brim flat

So we can put chairs around it So you can sit.

So you want this part to be like A bar going around the tank.

Janet: we need some hats In there, of course.

Brett: hats inside the tank? Yes.

We can't just stick hats In the tank.

The material can break down, and That can be toxic for the fish.

There's one more Little catch.

We just moved Into our new facility.

We were thinking about having Our grand opening.

We'd really like to celebrate The tank and the building.

We need it in two weeks.

That's not too bad.

You guys are here in vegas, So we don't have to ship it.

So it gives us two full weeks Of working time, so --

I like to challenge them, You know?

All right, guys, we'll get some Drawings and some renderings,

And once we get your approval, We'll get things moving.

We'll see you guys In a couple of weeks.

We can do that. Sounds good?

Brett: back at the shop, It's morning-meeting time.

All right, guys. We got two Challenging tanks this week.

First tank is fdu. They want flames in this tank.

Fire? Fire in fish tanks? Well, something like that.

It's gonna be difficult. We're gonna discuss that.

The second challenge job That we're gonna have

Is the tank itself Is gonna be a hat,

And then when you look In the tank,

There's gonna be multiple hats Inside the tank.

You can't put hats In the tank

Because they're Gonna break down.

He knows. He's the hat expert.

How am I the hat expert?

Look at everybody. Who's The only one with a hat on?

That makes me a hat expert, 'cause I wear a hat?

At least you're an expert At something.

A little decorum. A little decorum.

Let's get the meeting on.

"Decorum"? From a guy That lets paying customers

Off the hook For concert tickets?

That's rich.

All right, Next order of business --

There are some clients That owe us money.

I want you to use some Of your collection skills,

So I had helen Print out a list.

So, I want you to go over The list, read it out,

And find out Whose clients they are.

There's a lot of money on That list. We need to collect.

Well, the first one owes $7,500. It's anita bath.

$4,376 --

Out of dallas, texas, Mya buttreeks.

One more time -- What was the customer's name?

Mya buttreeks.

[ laughter ]

We got almost $80,000 That's outstanding,

And you guys Are all laughing.

I don't think it's funny. What's the next one?

From dallas, texas -- Drew p. Wiener.

[ laughter ]

I mean, you want me to collect This stuff or not?

Are you -- wait a minute.

You guys were trying to make A fool out of me, weren't you?!

You know, That's [bleep]

Mya buttreeks -- Line two!

[ laughter ]

Once our meeting was over,

We finished our rendering Of the top-hat tank.

Our top-hat tank Will be a cylindrical tank

With 360-degree views.

We'll flare out the canopy On top to disguise the lighting

And wrap a bar around the bottom Of the tank to create the brim,

Finishing it all off With a beautiful ribbon.

Instead of pulling a rabbit Out of the hat,

We're gonna place Exotic koi fish inside

Along with various other hats.

My dad was feeling bad About trading money owed to atm

For celine dion tickets Without checking with us first.

So, to make him feel better, We told him if he did

Some extra work around the shop, He can pay off his bill.

Hey, you missed A spot.

And he better get a hose And a real big mop

'cause redneck is about to Show us a fire experiment

For the fdu aquarium.

Flames and water Don't go together,

So I got to put a tube in This tank so there's a dry area,

But now I got to figure out

How to keep flames going In this tube.

We're trying a little propellant To see how it reacts.

You're doing what?

Trying some propellant.

This can't be good.

How much you think? Keep going!

Keep going? Yeah. Why not?

You might want Some safety glasses.

I'm gonna Lower the can in here,

And then I'm gonna take a match

And light a match And drop it in.

Hey, what do you think is Gonna happen to the acrylic?

Honestly, I don't know Exactly what it's gonna do.

I've never tried it yet.

Brett: oh, boy.

You ready? Let's go.

I'll send you Some pictures.

Oh [bleep] What?

Oh, man. We're in trouble.

She wants the top To flare out.

We're not gonna have the time To rebuild this.

Brett: we're making a tank for Fairleigh dickinson university,

And their mascot is the devil.

The students -- They want flames in the tank.

I don't know How to make this happen,

But redneck -- He jumped right into it.

We've already put Some propellant in the can.

That's flammable, right? Yes.

Both: ohh!

All right. All right.

That's definitely Not gonna work.

It ain't going To the customer, dude.

They're not pouring stuff in, Flames shooting.

Real flames Ain't cutting it.

We need a constant flame

That you hit with a switch Or something.

How are we gonna do Flames, then?

What about -- I'm thinking, like, a fake --

You ever see those things With the fake flames with,

Like, a fan up underneath it, And it kind of blows upward?

It has a light underneath it With a fan,

And as it moves, It looks like fire.

That's what I think We should put in there.

We're still a little hazy

On how we're gonna get flames Inside the tank,

But one way or another, we're Gonna build a red-hot aquarium.

A custom-made steel stand

Will hide the plumbing And filtration.

A 5-foot-tall flame facade Will wrap around the stand.

A seamless, 8-foot-long Racetrack tank

Will look smoking-hot

With flames we'll somehow Put inside the tank.

We'll keep the fdu devils theme Going with flame-colored fish,

And to keep the freshwater fish

From being freaked out By the fire,

We'll add Some comforting elements

Found in a natural environment, Like live plants.

We're off to segrest farms In florida.

Segrest is one Of the world's largest

Wholesale fish distributors

And our go-to For anything freshwater.

First up, Koi for the hat tank.

Mike: these are 7- and 8-inch Butterfly koi.

They call them butterfly fins 'cause their pectoral fins

Are all stretched out like That -- long and flowing.

These guys are only About six months,

Even though They're pretty big.

We import our koi From the far east.

Out there the ponds are really Warm, so they grow real fast.

Wayde: these guys have been bred For centuries

To get their colors And markings.

We have dog shows Here in the united states.

They got koi shows over there. It's true.

The second tank That we have

Is for fairleigh dickinson University.

They're called the devils, so We're gonna make it a fire theme

And it's gonna be All freshwater.

There's actually a fish Called the red devil,

But they're very aggressive.

We're gonna look For the hybrid red devil

Because they play A little nicer.

The rose queens And the king kong parrots --

Those guys are both hybrids With red devil in their blood.

As long as they got Some kind of red devil in it,

Those guys are gonna Fit in perfect.

I love these flower ones. Look at this guy right here.

Yeah, that's 'cause he's got A head the size of yours.

Yeah, he's got A big brain in it.

So, we got another one here That I think

Would be pretty cool For your tank -- red hooks.

Kind of fits in With the devil theme.

A devil and the horn, The red hook.

Right. There you go.

Those guys come From the amazon, right?

Yeah, These are south american,

And, actually, you can see The tanks are kind of brown.

They're tinted. Right.

We keep the water with A low ph -- really soft.

And we tint it to make it More like their home,

And it makes them Acclimate better

When they come in From the wild.

That way, by the time You get them to a tank,

They're ready to go.

I got a perfect fish for you -- Fire eels.

Wow! Look at the size Of these guys! They're huge!

These are about as big as You're ever gonna see this fish.

I've never really seen them That big.

Yeah, they're pretty gigantic For a fire eel.

Those guys get about 2 feet long, max, right?

And they get real fat. Yeah.

And they're also nocturnal.

It's gonna fit in perfect With the bar at the restaurant.

They come out at night. Perfect. Can't beat that.

Yo, what's going on? No, what are you doing?

What are you doing? I'm doing research, dude.

What are you researching? The fairleigh dickinson job.

I'm trying to figure out the Eels, you know -- how many.

I'm doing A little education here.

I'm trying to get Some information.

Dude, you don't ever read. Dude, I read more than you.

All right, easy, dr. Seuss. You don't ever read.

When was the last time You read something?

Dude, I read books. Trust me.

My favorite author Is stuart woods.

Your favorite author Is sports.

I think you got that book out Just so when people walk by, It makes you look smart.

I know what this sudden show Of smarts is about --

The fdu lecture.

What? I can't read a book?

Face the facts -- I'm smarter than you.

Just 'cause I don't work As hard as you doesn't mean You're smarter than me.

Who's the smart one Not working that hard?

Oh, here we go. Uh-huh.

Who's the smart one That's working not that hard?

I work with my brain, Not with my brawn.

Could you build the tank?

It doesn't make you smart or Not smart. It makes you handy.

Oh. Why don't we do this? Let's have a test.

Yeah, let's get a test. I don't trust you, though.

So we need to have Somebody judge this.

So, let's get agnes In here.

Agnes!

Agnes: yeah? Come here.

You know what "I.Q." stands for?

Yeah. What's it stand for?

Intelligence. Intelligence what?

Quote? It's made from germany.

Intelligent quotient.

Quotient from an original Germany word?

"The original germany word"?! How about "German word"?

Let me give you a united states Word -- "Challenge."

I say the winner of the I.Q. Test gets to give the lecture

At the fairleigh dickinson Business class.

It's a deal. Yeah, done.

Listen to me -- I need you to proctor

An I.Q. Exam Between me and wayde.

Dummy over here thinks He's smarter than me,

And he thinks he's "Miss tootie-too" over here.

[ laughs ] You guys are worked up.

We're gonna prove once And for all who's smarter.

General: Oh, this is getting in my eyes.

Ugh! I get no respect.

Thank you for not peeing On the floor. Unbelievable.

Brett: this week, my dad is Doing odd jobs around the shop

Because he thought It was a good idea

To trade celine dion tickets For money that was owed.

Celine has the voice Of an angel.

[ chuckles ] I hope it was worth it.

Aw, this soot Is getting in my eyes.

Ugh!

The treatment that I receive. I get no respect.

Thank you For not peeing on the floor.

Unbelievable.

This needs to be washed. Good job.

You should be ashamed Of yourself!

We sent out our go-for, The general,

To get a variety of hats For the inside of the hat tank.

Oh! [ laughter ]

That's good.

So, I saw you pull up And park your broom.

Really? This is perfect for you.

You've been with several animals In your lifetime.

Oh!

[ laughter ]

What we want to do Is we want to make some hats

That reflect What the company makes.

We need something stiffer

So we can put the polygem On both sides.

Like, this hat -- This is actually a good hat.

Polygem is a non-toxic putty That we can use in our tanks.

We're gonna cover these hats With it to make it fish-safe.

This one's no good.

The polygem will bend this.

It won't hold its shape.

What about this?

The derby hat's a great hat.

That might work.

That might, but this one Will definitely work.

Okay, that's two.

This one, I think, Will work, too.

These are good, But we have another problem.

What? What are we missing?

Cowboy hat. There you go.

That only leaves one thing.

[ sing-song ] Cowboy hat!

Come on, dude.

No.

What you mean no?! Come on!

You got to give one For the team!

You got 50 of them!

Robert, you'll be immortalized In the tank.

A piece of you will actually be In the tank.

So?

A real redneck would not Sacrifice his hat.

Dude, we need that hat.

It's, like, stiff and rigid.

Kind of like Your personality.

So, you know, Stiff and rigid.

Redneck! Redneck!

Redneck! Redneck!

Redneck! Redneck!

[ cheers and applause ]

Redneck! Yeah!

Let's coat all of these With the polygem,

Make them strong enough, They'll sink to the bottom,

We'll be good.

We got to work prepping and Coating the hats with polygem.

I need to make sure This is done properly

So the hats don't become toxic To the fish.

Look at the shapes of these.

Wow.

How are you gonna get The texture now?

With the felt.

After it gets wet, you're gonna Put the felt on there

To give it texture Of a real hat.

It'll lift the impression.

I like that.

I see this original hat here.

I don't really want to see Any of this.

We won't.

Okay, because if water gets In there and seeps,

It can swell and then ruin it.

Absolutely. Okay?

The next coat Should seal it in.

Where's the tank?

Tank's right here.

You finished off the hats

And get all that insert stuff Ready for this.

Aaron, Let's get this plumbing set up.

Drill the holes. Let's get moving on this.

And, redneck, when they get Close to doing all this,

I want to call stage house

And make sure everything fits Like a glove --

Or fits like a hat.

We're back to work on the Fairleigh dickinson flame tank.

The acrylic came Out of the oven,

But chuy still has The difficult task

Of putting it together Seamlessly.

And we're still having A huge challenge

Figuring out how to put fire Inside the tank.

Put it on. Let me see.

That's not bad.

What happens If you shut the fan off.

Find out.

That's gonna get caught In the fan, dude.

Poof!

It's a test.

Well, what happens When you turn it back on?

Oh! Whoa, shut it down!

Yeah, shut it down!

You shredded it!

What a simulation!

Wayde and I are going Back to college to do a tank

For fairleigh dickinson University.

They've asked us to give A speech

In their entrepreneur class,

So we've agreed that the smarter One gets to give the speech.

So, agnes is gonna give us An I.Q. Test.

Hello, professor raymer!

All right. Hey, hey.

You guys ready to do this?

Ready. Let's do this.

All right, here we go.

I got a standard I.Q. Test Online.

It's designed for 4th graders.

Tests.

You have 30 minutes.

Hey, when you told the teacher That the dog ate your homework,

It was really you, Right?

Hey, stop talking. You're taking a test.

When I was a kid, Cheating in school was an art,

And I was good.

And I'm still good.

I know where agnes downloaded That test from,

So I got to do A little "Prep work."

I know.

Huh?

Huh? Oh, nothing.

Duh! Huh?

Huh? Nothing.

Done.

You're done? Mm-hmm.

That's what happens When you're a genius.

Just call me einstein.

Wayde, you still have 10.

Einstein, newton, Hawking, charlie sheen --

After this test, they'll be Adding raymer to the list!

All right, wayde, you're done. Time's up.

Dude, I aced this thing.

How about you?

Feel great.

Okay.

Moment of truth.

Okay, guys. Here we go.

The highest I.Q. Goes to...

Brett: and now it's time For a quick fish fact.

Find out after the break.

Brett: Some people will pay top dollar

If the flowerhorn's markings Resemble chinese characters.

These fish are believed To bring their owners

Good luck and harmony,

But they can be rare And extremely expensive.

We're building a tank

For fairleigh dickinson University in new jersey.

Wayde always thinks He's smarter than me,

So we're gonna prove that point Wrong once and for all

By taking an I.Q. Test

And the winner gets to give A lecture

To the fdu business class.

Okay, guys. Here we go.

The highest I.Q. Goes to...

[ drumroll ]

Wayde. Ha!

That's impossible.

I'm smarter than you.

Agnes, that's impossible.

You need to re-grade Those tests.

It's not impossible. It's right here on paper.

You need to re-grade.

No, I'm telling you It's impossible.

It's right here On paper.

You know what? You and you are cheating.

You and you Are cheating me!

That's messed up, guys. You're cheating around here.

He actually did better than you, I just didn't want him to win.

He cheated. He cheated.

He got them all right?

So he cheated.

You know he cheated.

[ laughing ] Yeah.

That sneaky little... Unbelievable.

Dumb. They're both dumb.

Listen, bro -- I don't Want to see you get upset

Over my superior intelligence.

We're a team.

So, let's give this speech Together.

Whatever. Look -- you need me,

So let's give the speech Together

Because two big heads Are better than one.

Mm.

Fdu devils' fire tank Is cooking away at the shop.

Chuy and the guys Have their hands full

Prepping for the tubes That will hold the flames.

The bottom of the acrylic Has to be perfectly fitted

For the cylinders.

That way, no water can leak Into the tubes

And snuff out our flames.

Now we need to head To stage house.

They're making An amazing flame facade

For the fdu devils' aquarium.

The layer of flames Are built in sections

That will wrap around the steel Stand when we install the tank,

But the hat tank Will be installed first,

So I'm anxious To actually see robin

'cause he's building the round Canopy to top off our top hat.

Nice, look at this.

This is gonna match the tank Now?

It's gonna match the tank.

It's gonna match The color they picked.

We got a lid for it. We just prepped it out.

We're gonna be sending this off To paint tonight.

I'll send you Some pictures.

Oh [bleep]

I knew this was going Too smoothly.

What?

Oh, man. We're in trouble.

What?

I totally forgot.

Dude, She wants the top to flare out.

She wants it to be like A top hat.

All the way?

This isn't a problem That we can fix.

This thing basically needs to be Rebuilt from scratch.

I forgot to tell you, dude. I am so sorry.

How long will it take To do another one of these?

I have to do it, dude.

We're not gonna have the time To rebuild this.

Maybe we could modify This one.

How long is it gonna take To curve that wood out?

The problem with that is a piece Of wood will bend this way.

A piece of wood Will bend this way.

It's not gonna bend That way.

We're not gonna be able To get that.

Oh, my god! I told her we can do it.

Maybe we could carve it Out of foam.

What do you mean, foam?

Well, we could take some One-pound foam that we get --

Blocks of foam.

We'll cut it, We'll glue it to here,

And then I've got a guy With my scenic guy here, tom --

He does all our carving.

I can get him to carve That radius in it.

Will we have it done in time, You think?

I'll talk to him And see what he says.

We went from ahead of schedule To behind schedule.

Dude, we got to get it done.

We will.

If they don't get it done In time,

This grand opening's Gonna be like a bland opening.

Love stage house. They always hook me up, bro.

We try.

Robin's guy totally saved us

By curving out The top hat's radius.

It looks amazing.

Let's get the stand off first And get that in place.

We'll line it all up.

We're back at d bar j hats To install the hat tank.

Watch the corner. It's wood.

It can chip. So be careful.

Hey, guys. How are you doing?

Oh, boy.

You guys working hard For a change?

I figured maybe I'll come down And see if I could do some help.

The general took concert tickets As payment for a job,

So he stopped down At our install

To help pay back his debt To atm.

[ scoffs ] You're gonna be Paying me back

For dealing with him On the job site.

Up, pull.

Why don't you grab it, too, Instead of opening your mouth?

I'm not grabbing it. That's not part of my job.

Come on. Ah, you got it.

My dad always thinks He's in charge,

Hence the nickname "The general."

You don't get paid For supervisory roles.

Well, Then why'd I show up then?!

I have no idea! I didn't invite you!

He shows up to work, and then He sits down right away.

This is gonna be fun.

Irwin, you all right?

You want a cup of water Or anything?

Some geritol?

He makes suggestions

That have nothing to do With what we're doing.

It's got to be centered A little bit.

Oh, shut up over there And leave me alone.

You did very well In pushing that tank into place.

I can use my body Pretty good.

You did very well. I'm very proud of you.

Thank you.

It's the general.

The general of his own army. That's the problem.

He finally got off his ass

And started working off Some of his debt.

I'll take the box away.

Yeah, you can put it On the trailer.

That's another $6 Off my bill.

How about I give you $20, And you go home?

[ laughs ]

I tell you what, give me The $20, and I'll go home!

Nature's ocean sent this over.

Wheel this whole thing out. Let's get it rinsed.

We're using pure water pebbles At the bottom of our tank

Because along with making The floor look great,

It helps with water filtering.

Nice. Look at the colors In these guys.

The green stuff in here Is called hypno.

It slows down their metabolism

So they're actually not Speeding around

And using a lot of oxygen When they ship them.

We don't want to mix this In our tank.

We float the koi In the shipping bags in the tank

So this way they become Accustomed to the temperature.

Temperature's about right now, So let's take the koi out,

We'll put them In the bucket here,

And then we'll scoop them out, Okay,

Without any of the water mixing Into the tank.

There he goes.

Wow.

Oh!

That's not cool!

The fish did it.

Oh, he's a little feisty.

With the fish in, there's still A few things left to do.

We'll put our hats That we're using for theming

Inside the tank.

The bubblers Will make them rise and fall.

You definitely made these hats Look pretty good.

Rise.

Rise!

Blurp!

It's gonna do that all day.

All the d bar j guests Just arrived

For the grand opening Dressed for dancing.

Maybe we should teach them A new dance --

The wayde watusi.

Are you on?

Yeah, we're on.

Hey, this thing's pretty big, This skirt.

Are you sure this wasn't yours In a past lifetime?

Dude, I got this From your ex-girlfriend.

Where's the ribbon?

I don't know Where the ribbon is.

Cover it.

Dude, we need that piece.

We're putting the facade on,

And there's a space Where this ribbon goes.

Did you leave it At the shop?

Dude, I had nothing to do with it.

Redneck, Where's the ribbon?

How would I know Where the ribbon is?

The ribbon -- it's gone.

No one knows where it is, So I have to run out, go to atm,

And try to find the ribbon.

Man, brett better get back here Soon.

Come on! Let's go! [ car honks ]

Hey, I'm looking For a black, plastic bag

That has a ribbon in it For the hat tank.

Look at that.

Thank you.

Chuy.

Yeah?

Hey, I'm looking For a plastic bag.

A black bag. I don't know.

You didn't see it nowhere? Nope.

We cannot reveal this tank Without this ribbon.

It looks ridiculous.

This may be the first time that I showed a client their tank,

And they were so happy That they started dancing.

Talk about a hat trick.

We're building a hat-shaped tank For a company here in vegas.

The hat was coming along nicely, But we've hit a huge snag.

We're missing the ribbon That completes the hat.

We have a room full of people

Waiting to see This finished tank.

Hey, dude.

I'm looking for the black bag That the ribbon came in.

Stage house said It was in here.

Oh.

It's for the wrap.

I think there's a black bag Right over here.

Over here? Where?

Yes! This is it!

Okay, great. Thank you, brother.

[ sighs ]

Yo!

You wanted koi fish, so we got You a whole bunch of koi.

These koi actually came From asia.

Fedora And there's a top hat.

They're not as pretty As your hats

Since your hats are beautiful.

And, actually, redneck donated One of his custom hats

For you guys.

Thank you. We appreciate that.

This was another job Well done.

Brett: This may be the first time that I showed a client their tank,

And they were so happy That they started dancing.

Now they can dance, drink, And socialize

Around their new aquarium.

Talk about a hat trick.

[ laughter ]

One tank down, And one left to go.

So, we're off to light up A student center

On the east coast.

We're back in new jersey at Fairleigh dickinson university

To install the devils' Red-hot flame aquarium.

The only issue I see here, Which is a big issue,

Is that their power In the middle of the floor --

Is gonna hit the pump?

Yeah, it's right there.

It's looking like it's gonna.

Is there any way we can cut A hole right there

And get the electrical Through?

Not right here. The pumps in the way.

We need to figure out a way Not to move the plumbing

And to cut a hole somewhere

So we can get the electrical To fit inside the aquarium.

So, let's swing The whole entire stand around.

Let's see if We can line it up there,

And if it lines up, We'll drill a hole.

It's a race track, So it won't matter.

All right, we'll spin it. It doesn't matter, really.

Yeah. Good. Spin it.

That pipe can come up, The power can sit right here.

Brett: we have to drill a hole

And then slide the stand Over the electrical.

Ready to lift this And put it in place.

We're going. Oh, oh. All right.

Watch your foot.

The power outlet fits.

It's time to get the tank On top.

All right, hold up.

A little higher.

[ strained ] Come on, a little more.

There we go. Keep it on the stand.

Bring it to me, guys.

On the whole campus? On the whole campus.

What's really, really important Is your mental attitude

Is what drives everything.

You're so dead, brett.

All right, guys. Come on in.

Whoa!

[ cheers and applause ]

Wayde and I were asked to Talk to an entrepreneur class

While installing the aquarium at Fairleigh dickinson university.

The winner of the I.Q. Test Was gonna give the lecture,

But wayde cheated me out of it,

So when it was time to talk,

I told wayde to meet me At morris hall for the class.

No morris hall.

Oops. I meant the mansion.

Don't ever quit.

You know, if you quit,

You'll never be successful At what you do.

You're so dead, brett.

So, I'm giving this speech,

And I see wayde popping his head In and out of the window.

I think at this point, It's time to wrap it up.

I just want to thank you guys For having me today.

I hope you guys learned A little bit, and thank you.

Wayde: really, brett?

You sent me On a wild goose chase

While you're giving Our lecture?

I wrote that entire speech On the plane ride over here.

I know!

Thanks for doing All the hard work.

Your speech -- It got a pretty good response.

So you cheated On the speech,

And you cheated On the I.Q. Test.

How'd you know that?

No, no. I didn't cheat. Huh-uh.

While I was running Around on campus

Looking for the spotlight hog,

Our guys were back At the student's center

Getting the water and the plants Ready in the tank,

And now the fish just arrived.

Segrest hooked us up, huh?

There's a lot of fish here.

We'll take the water From the aquarium

And put it in the buckets To acclimate the fish.

We let the fish sit In the mixed water

And test the ph levels Until it's perfect.

So the fish are acclimated.

We're ready to put them in.

Beautiful red king kong parrot.

They're gonna love that color For the devils.

I see one flowerhorn And red texas cichlids.

Yeah. It's moving like fire, huh?

Beautiful. Fits right in with the theme.

These fire eels Will be right at home.

That's freddy the eel.

I'm right here, buddy. I'm your friend.

Let's get the flames.

Beautiful.

We have a fan rigged up Underneath the tank

To keep the flames going.

A plastic screen Will keep the fabric

From falling Into the fan blades.

It's almost there.

Perfect. Look at that.

Now, that's a fire!

Hey, buddy.

How you doing?

Look how pretty you are.

Come on, buddy.

Love it.

Let's get this facade on, And let's show off the tank.

The first thing you see Is this spectacular fish tank.

It just screams School spirit.

You got your fire.

I know. I'm all about the fire.

Let me tell you, It wasn't that easy.

It took multiple tests.

It's great.

Who else can say That they have a fish tank

With flames On the inside?

I like the way That the flames

Sort of reflect The color of the fish.

In between all the rocks Is actually four fire eels.

We also have the flagtails.

Put a lot of live plants In here,

Which, you know, will help Create a lot of oxygen

Inside the aquarium,

And it's gonna help keep An overall healthy aquarium.

Kenzi: it's wonderful. Thank you so much.

We hope you enjoy it. Absolutely.

The students -- They absolutely love this tank,

And I know it was Very important to them

Because it was their gift

That they were giving Back to the school.

We had the flames. We had the fish.

Most of all, It represented school spirit.

Yeah, even that mascot, The devil --

He was smiling, too!

Not that often That the devil really smiles.

[ laughs ]

And to next year's Senior class,

We wish you good luck Trying to top this one.

[ cheers and applause ]

All: let's go, devils!

Whoo!

Brett: We're getting blazing reactions

To our latest Fresh-water aquariums.

You've got to say "Hats off" To the top-hat tank we built

For d bar j hat company.

Can take 600 gallons Of fresh water

And weighs over two tons.

The tank is teaming With 35 koi fish,

And with five different Hat choices inside the tank,

These koi fish will have Plenty of options

When they dress to impress.
