Statistically speaking,

more people tend to believe in my tricks

if they involve some sort of new technology,

so manning a checkout register at Fry's Electronics

was a dream come true.

Michael: I can help you over here.

How you doing today? Doing all right?

Okay. Cables, cables, cables.

I didn't know they had 10-footers.

That's great. Yeah, it's cool, right?

Soon, they're gonna be making those wireless, too.

Right. So you won't have

to get the cables at all.

They'll be out of business, but the dudes

who are making the sticker speakers --

They're taking over the whole market,

so everything will be wireless.

Yeah. You seen those things work?

No, I haven't.

Oh, my gosh, we sold them out yesterday like crazy.

It's like a -- You know, people who like to listen to music

on an auxiliary speaker --

you know, like a Bluetooth speaker.

Right. Right. Where there's

no wire connection.

It's the same thing, but it's just on a --

I don't know how they do it, actually.

It's just on a sticker.

Like, the whole component is just, like, a --

That's the speaker. That's the speaker?

Yeah, and it will pick up the closest, like, playing --

How's the quality? Uh, it's like this.

[ Rock music plays softly ]

Yeah?

You can amp it up with something, though,

if you put it on something like...

[ Loud rock music plays ] It'll, like, pick up

the resonance or something.

That's a big difference. It is a big difference.

You know.

[ Muffled music plays ] Right?

[ Loud rock music plays ] Are these for sale now?

Huh? Are these for sale now?

Yeah. How much are they?

They're 25 cents each. You're kidding me.

No. [ Laughs ]

Yeah. I want to buy some.

You want to buy them? Yeah.

Okay, so, just a couple things to tell you.

Pressing it once will catch the closest signal,

whether it's Bluetooth, Wi-Fi,

or FM radio or Internet radio --

whatever is the closest.

So if you want to play something specific,

keep it closer to the sticker.

Anything you put it on will amp the sound,

so it'll just play like this...

[ Rock music plays softly ] Right?

But it can pick up, like,

even if you put it on the cabinet here...

[ Loud rock music plays ] That'll pick up that whole --

It'll resonate with the cabinet.

That's awesome. It's good, right?

I mean, that's a good sound from a sticker.

That is awesome.

[ Music stops ]

And then it'll stop it. Okay?

Now, where is it picking up from right now?

Uh, it's picking up -- Uh, I don't even know --

whatever the close-- I don't have anything playing,

so whoever has Internet radio playing

or Wi-Fi. That is badass.

Yeah. It's cool, right? I mean, that's --

I can't believe -- This --

It uses this as a speaker cabinet.

Right, anything it touches will resonate the sound from here,

and it's just a really...

That's -- That's really amazing.

Yeah.

What are you gonna use them for?

I don't know. I'll figure something out.

Yeah.

I mean, that's pretty -- That's pretty badass.

It's pretty cool, right? Yeah.

In addition to this, I'll take 10 bucks' worth.

10 bucks' worth. You got it.

Okay. Excellent.

Don't put them on anything too big,

so don't put it on -- Did I tell you?

Don't put it on the windshield...

No.

...in the car, 'cause it'll vibrate that.

You can stick them on the skin, so you can jog with them.

And don't put them on, like, a metal trailer

or, you know, the outside of a car,

'cause it can combust, the inside pressure.

Okay. Okay? Yeah.

One press starts it on, one press starts it off.

Michael: Oh.

Yeah, you're trying to extend the, um,

the range of your Wi-Fi? Mm-hmm.

Oh, it just doesn't reach all the way to my bedroom.

Yeah, sure, sure, sure.

'Cause this one is still trying to be wireless.

But if you get the one that has two that connect

to each other on a wire... Oh.

The only thing is, you have to put the wire through the wall.

The best thing to use is, like, a little, um,

a home-theater wire extender.

Oh. They're, um...

I don't know. I don't know.

This is a home-theater wire threader.

Uh-huh.

This way, if you're ever trying to get something

from one end of the house to the other on a wire...

Uh-huh.

...you could do it through the wall, and it's simple.

It just uses this little wire threader.

Yeah? Have you seen those work?

No. People use them for,

actually, like, in sweatpants

or something -- you know, when you pull the cord.

Oh, I have, like -- Like, look. Watch.

If I pull this out... Uh-huh.

That ever happen to you?

Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

It's the same kind of thing, that it will thread

as long as there's a channel.

Oh. Here, I'll take

my pin off here.

If you get the static electricity going on it,

because it already has a static charge

on that little piece of metal inside,

and you line it right up with the grommet.

And it'll just go through just like that.

And it throws it through.

Yeah.

Oh, my God!

Yeah, 'cause there's a channel, so this...

Yeah. This will

go through with static.

I've never seen anything like that.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

I'm glad to know that they have it.

Here, take one of those.

Oh, no. You better keep that.

Oh, come on, take -- This is my personal.

Oh, you have earbuds? Let me see them,

'cause we're giving away a little earbud giveaway.

Why? Do you... Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're giving away the rest of a, uh,

new product that just got discontinued,

so we're not gonna be selling it anymore.

Do you ever -- Do you, like, exercise or jog with these or...

Sometimes. Yeah. Yeah.

'Cause a lot of people

were having trouble with the length of them.

Yeah. So they want them longer...

Yeah. ...for some instances.

Sometimes they don't stay in. They pull out.

Exactly. So, there's this stuff right here.

This is called, uh, Bud Long's Extension Putty.

And you can use this for your headphones

if you want to make the cord longer...

or if you want have it, like, on your nightstand.

How do you do that? It looks like putty.

Yeah, it's like a conductive putty.

Like, they used to insulate wires with this stuff.

But it's, like, a goopy stuff that...

You can feel it's got, like, a soft...

Yeah. ...texture to it.

You put that right on the end of your headphones.

And you sort of just, like, make a little blob with it.

And then, if you want to...

Just a little bit.

Sometimes people need it just to be a little longer.

It'll pull that...

Are you kidding me? ...insulation, yeah.

Yeah, like that. It gets a little goopy.

So, we -- People were liking it.

Everyone wanted just, like, a few more inches on...

Wait. ...on their cords.

You just made that longer?

Yeah. Well, I didn't. It does, yeah.

How do you do that?

Looks like you just fold it.

Yeah, the putty pulls the wire,

'cause it's made of the same substance.

So the wire inside gets a little bit thinner.

And then, to retract it, you just pull it.

Like, kind of give it a pull, and it'll go back.

Hold on. It's supposed to go back.

It's like a blind. You know, you got to

give it a little -- Er.

Oops. Unh-unh-unh-unh.

Oh, that's not going.

Sorry. You just made

that thing super-long.

Oh, yeah. That's...

Hold on a minute.

There's a way to, like, make it retract.

Yeah, these are gonna be... Are you kidding me?

No. I'm sorry. Look how long this thing is.

Wait. I think if you coil it up...

like this.

You wouldn't want it to stay this long, right?

No, I don't think so. Okay.

Yeah, it coils up like this.

If it works like that, why are they discontinuing it,

if people are so crazy about it?

Oh, I don't know. That...

I can't get it to go back.

Just feed that inside.

You can feel it going back into the ball.

Just like that.

And then... No, no, no.

Look, look, look. No.

Yeah, this is too small.

I'm sorry.

That is not possible.

Yeah. Maybe that's why they're not selling it. I don't know.

that,
