I'm not sure they're gonna work out.

What is that?

Oh, these are those government cheese snacks.

They're, like, MREs.

There was the ones made by NASA,

and I think air got in some of them,

and that's why they're not...

-Really? -Yeah.

How is that floating?

They're baked inside of a compression chamber.

They're, like, anti-gravity snacks.

See, and if air doesn't -- yeah.

See, once air gets inside the snack,

that will -- There it goes.

Wow!

Yeah, and then you can eat it like...

Damn.

I'm like an astronaut.

-[ Laughs ] -Mm-hmm.

That's why I was like,

"Is it me or it was floating before."

-Yeah. -It was.

Yeah. I'm like,

"There's no string."

No. Yeah. Yeah, they do it that way

so you can get a real simulated test.

It's got, like, a negative charge.

A negative charge.

They're baked with a higher atmospheric pressure.

-Uh-huh. -So when you open it,

they lift up on our -- woop.

Yeah, even the bag -- Did it run out of --

Oh. Yeah, I think it's...

-gone. -It ran out.

Stay, stay.

Yeah, don't let him open it.

I'm glad you opened that

There was supposed to be Rhinestones.

Oh, my gosh. I'm sorry. Yeah.

We -- I'm sorry about that. That's my fault.

I got in late today.

We customize them here for the dance.

Maybe just get the pink ones off the shoulder, right?

Get the pink ones off, but you'll be fine.

-Good idea. -[ Laughs ]

This was a difficult location to shoot in

because everyone's in a rush to get to their movie.

So I ended up either

hurrying the tricks along before the movies began,

or relying on those few people

who step out of the theater to get snacks.

Luckily, we got some great stuff.

Michael: You're smelling that popcorn, right?

Yeah, why does he send me down here?

Oh, because I'm doing the fresh popcorn today.

He wants to get you the good kind.

-That's good. -Okay.

Here's your bucket.

And I got your little kernels here.

No. We make our own?

Oh, no. It'll make itself.

I'm gonna give you the heat coil to use in the theater.

-Okay? -And it's microwave.

I hate the new things.

It's not microwave.

Have you not had shadow corn before?

-I have not. -Oh, it's great.

It comes with... -Teach me.

-...the little kernels. -That's a small amount.

Right. A little bit of kernels in the bottom.

And this is the heat coil, right?

And it's a little sticker,

and it goes at the bottom of the bucket.

-Keep teaching me. -I'll teach you.

'Cause I can't do it here, 'cause it's too bright in here.

But I'll make a cover for it so it will be in the darkness.

If it gets covered in the darkness,

the kernels are activated.

Hold on to that like that.

Yeah, and just push that down.

So, when it's dark,

the lights go out in the theater...

[ Popping ]

It'll make it for you.

You go sit in there?

-And it'll pop. -What an inconvenience.

People are gonna be making noise all over.

Well, it's just during the previews.

It's just during the previews.

You'll hear everybody pop their popcorn.

The whole theater smells delicious.

And, this way,

you don't end up eating all your popcorn

before the movie starts.

Yeah, but what about your butter?

Did it work?

-That's enough? -Yeah.

-I don't think it finished.

You got it.

I don't like this.

-You don't? -No, this is too new age.

Well, it's the freshest popcorn you can have.

Boy, life is moving faster than I even want it to.

Now, sweetie pie, I'm gonna go get me butter,

all that I want on here

so we can get nice and big and plump.

You got it. All right.

You enjoy that.

All right, so you know we shot an entire day

at the movie theater's candy counter,

but what you didn't know is that I tried another trick

in the lobby that never aired.

So for the first time, I'll give you a sneak peak

at the latest technology in cardboard movie displays.

The print the pieces polarized. -Okay, yeah.

So it's like, um...

like, you know how solar power works?

-All right. -And then turn the light on.

Any light or...

Oh, yeah. It's those two switches.

-Oh. -Yeah, you got it.

-Yeah, and then... -Okay.

Then I move the whole thing?

Yeah, kind of toggle it a little bit.

Incrementally.

And then I have a reflector to bounce the light into it.

So if I can pick up...

Like, you're gonna want to aim the umbrella

so it's facing towards me.

Like, is it okay if I move it like this?

-Yeah, that good. -Forward and stuff?

That's good right there.

Yeah, if put it here and angle it down,

like this, can you see?

Is it shining back into your eyes?

I think it's at the top of it.

-The top? -Should it be, like, full?

Yeah, bounce it with me,

and then I'll kind of hit it...

-Whoa! -Yeah?

This way?

If I come to the other side of the pole,

if I aim this this way...

Wait, wasn't it just, like, a cardboard.

It's like a flat polarized piece.

And it should reflect back so it looks more solid.

Yeah! I was -- I was freaked out.

Okay, good. You were great.

Can I interest you in a popcorn, drink?

Small diet Coke with a lot of ice.

Okay. I'm gonna -- Let me...

My machine's been funky.

The lines in this machine get mixed up between the reg...

Oh, really?

...between the regular and the diet.

Huh.

So we have to strain them, okay?

Just to make sure that it's actually diet.

Let me get another glass here. -Do you want me to taste it?

Oh, how do you test it?

I mean, I have a strainer.

We just strain it to make sure.

Do you know what I mean? -No, I don't.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

So, because this is a titanium strainer...

-So...? -...so it's magnetized.

So when I pour this way,

I can make sure I strain anything out.

And this way, everybody knows they're getting real diet.

What is it straining out?

The sugar.

-How can titanium... -Look.

It strains the sugar out of it.

You're kidding. That's amazing.

Yeah, it'll strain it out.

Oh, it's a...

Titanium.

But titanium won't do that.

There must be something that gets it out.

Yeah, like, they put it in, like, an ultra-centrifuge

or something, the screen, so that it has, like,

a static-electricity charge that grabs the sugar.

That's amazing.

Yeah.

-And it's self-rising. -Okay.

All right, probiotic sounds good.

-Probiotic is really good. -What time is it?

Because our movie starts in like five minutes.

Oh, yeah, no. It takes 15 seconds.

And this is the actual dog base, the meat base.

[ Both laugh ]

-You've got to be kidding. -No, it's great.

It actually is really good.

Because a lot of people were, you know, complaining that foods

are processed, and they come from a factory.

So we just make them with the processed stuff here.

Oh, so it's still processed.

-Well, yeah, but it's pro-- -And that's it?

Yeah, but there's no preservatives.

All right, we have an old-school gold watch.

Uh-huh, and just an appraisal you want?

-Mm-hmm. -Wow.

Oh, that's nice.

That's what I thought, too.

I don't know if it's real gold, though.

You know, it looks like it could have been old,

but someone -- -Either cleaned it or --

Yeah, cleaned it too much, really.

-Mm-hmm. -Yeah.

Oh, you know what? The crystal there?

Uh-huh? That looks like

it's been replaced.

-Oh, okay. -So...

You know, a lot of times, it's actually better

to leave the original parts on antique stuff.

You know, people, like -- They get antiques,

and they think like, "You know what I should do?"

Clean it up.

Clean it up, make it look great.

But, you know, stuff that has its old,

vintage look is better.

Like, this chain hasn't been replaced.

It's just been polished. So, I'm gonna --

I'll probably do a little

reverse cleaning on it, you know?

We're re-antiquing.

And I use Pot O' Old.

-[ Chuckles ] -It's good stuff.

So, just a little bit of that. Get that on that chain there.

I'll use a little cloth.

Have you ever heard of that stuff before?

Unh-unh. Never heard of it.

Never heard of Pot O' Old? Yeah.

-Pretty interesting, though. -Yeah.

I'm just gonna get a little slab of that right there

and just give it a little rub. -How long you been working here?

Wow. -Yeah.

See? That looks better.

-See that? -Yeah.

That's interesting how you do --

So, basically, you just --

That's how it was before they cleaned it,

and you took off the polish that quick.

It's restoring the patina and the oxidation.

That is awesome. I've never seen that.

You've never seen that?

You know, over 80 years of time,

it collects all of that rust and scratches.

And this glass was replaced, so what I'll do is --

I'll put just a big wad of it in there

and hopefully age the face of the watch.

-Right. -I'll put a little bit here.

And I'm just gonna give it a little rub.

And look at that.

Just beautiful.

-Wow. -Yeah.

Oh, that is just beautiful.

Oh, look at that. -Wow.

Yeah, see -- Did this break?

No, it's restoring it to its original glass,

before it was replaced with the new glass.

Was there glass over it, though?

Well, yeah, there was a replacement glass.

And you just took that replacement glass off

just that quick? -Well, I didn't.

-I mean, the -- -That.

Yeah. It reversed it back.

Now, if you wanted to put the glass back on,

then what would we have to do?

They'd have to re-- You'd have to restore it again.

-Wow. -Right.

-But you don't want it restored. -Yeah.

You know, you want this --

This is the original glass now.

Wow.

With all of its age and oxidation on it,

this one would probably be worth about...

Like this? $1,500.

You can probably get $2,500, if you go to the right place.

Pretty amazing, right?

Do you want to put that in your little bag there?

-Put it back in here. -Sure.

It's great stuff. Look at this.

'Cause I was doing this drawing here before.

You know, it'll age paper, as well,

'cause, you know, like, when you see something,

and it's too brand-new? -Mm-hmm.

You know, so I use this antiquing cream here,

and I'm gonna rub it on the paper,

and watch what it does.

Wow! Look at her.

Her hair turned.

Her hair was Brown.

Oh.

I wasn't even paying attention.

That's amazing. It just aged her.

Yeah, I definitely want to wash my hands.
