Announcer: This is...
"The Carbonaro Effect."
**
[ Clattering ]
This is how I cook at home.
Just make a lot of noise in the kitchen
and then just put, like, a microwave meal in.
That's not true. I can make omelets.
All right. Hey, Danny.
Maybe you can help me out over here for a second.
All right. We're gonna be doing
just some platters of raw oysters and stuff --
uh, clams and oysters.
Uh, they have shrimp out there right now, and these are, um --
Oh, well, they laid them out, but we want them to be, like,
you know, open on the half shell.
Okay.
So, uh, maybe shout-shuck them and, uh --
That'd probably be better, anyway, you know?
Okay.
Just -- No, not your fingers.
Just do a shout-shucking,
because that's gonna be, you know, a lot more tender inside.
Shout-shucking?
Yeah. If they're all closed, you can do this.
You, uh, you know, cover them up,
and you want to make, like, a-a loud noise, really.
Ha! Ho! Ho!
Right. You hear how it echoes in that?
Like, doing it in increments?
Yeah, you can do it in increments.
Open it there.
There you go. See that?
Okay. Yeah.
This one didn't go, so I'm gonna do that one with a little, uh --
Ho!
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Ho-ho-ho! No.
Maybe you can give that one a try.
Bring out my inner thespian or whatever. I don't know.
Yeah. Ha!
There you go.
Ha!
Hello! Little! Thing!
Ho! Okay.
Oh, nothing, huh?
I don't know. Yeah.
It's being difficult. It is difficult.
Come out of your shell. It's literally clamming up.
[ Chuckles ]
If they don't go,
we'll just put the ones that don't work to the side.
Okay. Just, like, rearrange --
Oh, wait, wait. Now I just felt it move.
Yeah, I know. I was saying. It's twitching a little bit.
Say something again.
* Hello, little oyster
Maybe a lower pitch.
[ Deep voice ] Hello, oyster.
There you go.
Do that again.
* Come on, little buddy
Yeah.
Some of them have a --
* Give us your delicious meat *
Yeah, they have, like, more of a --
Some of them need a more gentle approach.
* Twinkle, twinkle, little star *
Oh, there it -- there it --
* How I wonder what you are
Oh, look!
It was just protecting.
Oh!
That's what I was saying. A pearl.
[ Chuckles ]
Some of them need a more gentle approach.
Yeah.
Let me take him aside,
and I'm gonna put the pearl somewhere safe.
And then just -- You can -- You can shout those
right in the bowl, and then we'll lay them out.
Okay.
Okay. All right.
I'll be right back.
[ Chuckles ]
Ha!
Hello, little buddy!
It's me!
There you go!
Come on!
Oh!
Ah!
Shouting them open.
I didn't even know this was a thing.
The oven just went on the fritz. [ Chuckles ]
So, I got a guy who's gonna come in and fix it,
so until then, we're just gonna get
some potatoes prepped for baking them.
Okay. All right?
So just, uh, grab me a potato there.
All right. Pull off a piece of the foil.
And, uh, it's got to be the shiny side in,
and I'll show you why.
Okay. All right.
And roll it just like that.
And this is warming foil.
Okay.
So, you can feel it kind of, like --
Yeah, I see.
'Cause once it coils in on itself, it'll activate it.
And I usually use this part of my palm to just feel that.
Just put your palm over the top of that and see if you can feel.
Mm-hmm.
Feels a little warm, right? Yeah.
It's that same stuff that's on the inside of gloves.
You know those little packs that make gloves warm.
Oh, I know. Yeah, the heating packs.
Exactly. You put it inside.
It's that same technology
that's threaded throughout the foil here.
So, once it folds over, you know, on itself,
you can feel that kind of thing.
And you got to be careful, too, because it's got, you know --
For foil, it's a tremendous amount of warnings
that you have to watch out for.
It's not just one thing you have to be careful about, so --
Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Sorry. [ Blows ] Yeah.
Whoa. That's a warming foil all right [bleep]
Yeah. It's kind of like a strike-anywhere match
when it folds over on itself.
So, be careful with that, okay?
That's something to be careful about.
Yeah. You have to be very careful about how you fold it.
So I'm gonna let you use that, but be --
Oh, uh, timing, too, is the other thing.
Shoot.
Oh, man. Look at that.
Damn!
Did it just cook it like that that fast?
Yeah. Shoot. And it's -- You --
[ Sighs ] It's burnt.
Damn!
It's only supposed to be in there for a few seconds.
I can't believe that happened that fast.
Okay, I just learned something new today.
Yeah, uh, this -- I'm not feeling this.
This is a little [Chuckles]
Maybe a little too dangerous for us.
Whoa! [Bleep]
Okay. My bad. Whoo!
Here, here, here.
Whoo!
Okay, good. Not a problem.
My eyebrows kind of got that a little bit there.
Let's, uh -- I say we wait for the guy to fix the oven.
Okay. That works. [ Chuckles ]
That works. Okay. That works.
Let me see if he's on his way.
You hang tight right there. All right.
All right?
The, uh, oven guy is...
This is amazing.
Whoo! Hot fryer. Okay.
There you go.
Actually, come on over to this side of the table. Sure.
I'm gonna show you how we're gonna garnish these up, okay?
Okay. Yeah.
So, here's how we do this, all right?
Okay. Ooh.
All right, so, with each one of these, what I'd like to do,
'cause it's a new company. They're super-fresh.
It's fish sticks but, you know, high-end fish sticks,
they're telling us. Nice.
Just be very careful, 'cause we like
to get them out super, super hot, okay?
Cool.
Each one, I just put on
and just pat out a little more grease
than comes out from the basic splash after it's dipped.
You want to put a little dollop on that guy?
Let's do it.
That's right. Good. Whoa.
Is that one still alive?
[ Laughs ]
No, I think if it's moving around,
we don't want to be serving him, okay?
Understood. Understood.
All right, so, they said it's a real fresh --
Yeah, so, it's --
Okay.
[ Gasps ] Shut the [bleep] up, man.
Come on.
Are you [bleep] kidding me?
Come on!
Is that -- That thing is freakin' alive.
I think that's a catfish.
I mean, do you think -- I mean,
with all of these fish coming in,
there's got to be little baby fish that get in the way.
But how the hell did he survive all that?
That's amazing.
Yeah, I mean, this is --
this is a cooked fillet of fish, right,
that you're just putting in oil.
Yeah.
How -- Mnh-mnh. No way.
I mean, can you imagine, honestly, if you served that?
No. I -- No. Oh, my God.
If someone bites into it?
Can you imagine? Oh, my God.
That would be, like, the greatest/worst day
in history of food service ever.
Okay. Let me call the supplier. Hang tight.
You do what you need to do. You hang tight right there.
I'm gonna be right here with Miracle.
Oh, my God.
You got a buddy in here?
A little stowaway?
Nope.
Nope. Just you, bud. Just you.
There's a landscaper over there talking to himself.
Somebody send somebody.
Oh, did they tell you about the little situation
we were having with the bird feeders?
Woman: What happened?
Like, all last year during, you know, high, peak season,
when the people come to love to watch the birds
and we fill the feeders,
there was some animal was coming in,
like, eating all the feed.
Stop it. How in the world?
It was like we'd fill it up at night,
and then, in the morning, they'd be empty.
Oh, my God. That's creepy.
Then they tried to lower it, you know, to figure it out.
And now this is -- This is, I think --
This is working? Yeah?
I think. Yeah. All right.
All right. You want to unclasp that?
Of course. Sure. I'll bring the...
This will be good. It's because, you know --
And people love coming to the park for that reason --
to watch birds.
Yeah. This park is absolutely amazing.
Tons of them. Love it.
I think we've got our --
We've got our solution now.
'Cause that is -- That's gonna be really sealed.
It's got the tiniest little bit. Uh-huh.
But that's something the birds would know that, hopefully --
Okay, the other animal, the creature can't figure out.
Exactly. So, let's keep that perfectly --
Okay.
All right. Good. Looks like this.
That should work, right?
Yeah, I think we'll be good.
You think so? I think we're good.
No way they're gonna be able to get down from there.
No. You know what?
At that point, I think that it's a person.
You know what? I never even thought about that.
It could be a person that's been doing it.
It could be. It could be.
See if I'm hanging this up straight.
Okay.
All right. Wait.
It's funny. We do get a lot of bird watchers.
So, I mean --
Yeah, 'cause there's no way
something's gonna be able to get to that.
It's straight. The rails are a little leaning.
Yeah, but it'll stay, right?
Yeah, it'll stay.
And if something tries to climb up it --
It's gonna lean.
It's funny, 'cause we used to fill them,
and then, like, right on the end of here,
you would, like, literally see them all,
like, lining up, getting ready to --
Oh, my gosh! I would love that!
I know. It's crazy.
That sounds beautiful.
So, I'll get the bucket.
What do you need me to grab?
Um, let's see.
Oh, my God. It's in the box.
That freakin' quick.
How did this just happen?
Oh, my freakin' God.
How did that get in there... Oh, man!
Oh! ...that freakin' quick?
I can't believe it.
I cannot take this right now.
I just saw you hang that up, and there was nothing in there.
[ Gasps ] And it's sealed!
This is the freakiest thing I've ever saw!
I know. You, like, didn't believe me before.
I'm telling you. Every time I fill it --
No, it wasn't even that. It just sounded --
Like, we heard the noise...
and turned, and then I looked, and this is looking at me.
Oh, my God!
How did it get in there?
Yeah.
You should take a picture and show it to whoever
you've been talking to about this situation.
Yeah, I think -- And you'll tell them that, too.
I can vouch for you right now.
I would take this to someone and show them,
like, "Look, they're smart. They're waiting until this."
Literally, he was -- He had to have been sitting here, like --
Yep.
This is the creepiest, because that --
that's a whole big animal inside of there.
If I hadn't just seen this myself --
Like, sincerely, that was insane.
Hi.
Hi, you smart baby.
Hi, little possum.
Hi.
Hi. How did you get in there?
How did you do this?
Wait, wait. So, you're saying Pluto's not really a planet?
Pluto is no longer a planet.
Now they're only teaching kids at school
that there are eight planets from the sun.
Remember, when I was in elementary school,
it was nine planets from the sun.
Oh, yeah. We don't know what's going on.
We don't even know why we here.
All we know is we came from a glob of nothing
and it's been transformed into alligators,
to monkeys, to turtles,
and I'm still trying to figure out
how the human being came to be.
Look at this.
What is that? Is that an egg?
It's not an egg. It's breaking too easy.
It is an egg!
Oh, yeah.
You know, we got to clean up leaves,
and if we see a nest, we got to get it out of the tree.
What?
Because it attracts, you know, other animals.
-Will you hold this side? -Yes, I will.
Uh, okay.
Hope no more eggs falling.
Oh, my gosh.
What's going on? What's on it?
Look at that.
It was an egg!
And a big-ass egg.
Oh, it is. Yeah.
What type of bird was this?
Here. Will you hold that.
Just careful. They're fragile.
Let me see.
I would have never suspected that size of egg.
Yeah.
I'm gonna take a picture.
That's kind of -- Is it like a -- from, like, a hawk?
That came out of something's body?
Oh, lookit. Yeah. It's got a crack on the side here.
Oh, man. Might as well go ahead and open it.
What we gonna find?
[ Chuckles ]
What we gonna find?
Yeah, it's like --
I feel it --
I see the beak!
Yeah. Looks like it's breathing.
I see the eyes! I see the eyes is open!
Yeah.
It's coming out.
It's coming out!
Don't leave me. Oh, it's so cute.
It's coming out!
It's a hamster!
A hamster?!
I think this is a wood-- It's a woodland guinea.
It's a guinea pig?
Uh, it's a woodland guinea.
Wow!
Yeah. You see him? Come here.
Wow!
Hey.
This is like that thing, you know --
The survival of the -- of the fittest.
Yes.
They've adapted to start laying their young in eggs.
Yes, so they disguise them.
They disguise their babies by --
As birds.
That's right. In a nest.
Yes.
To save them.
I don't know, man.
Maybe it's -- Maybe it's like you were saying
with, like, Pluto or something.
And now, basically, life is changing.
Yeah.
The whole universe is changing.
That's right. Things are shifting around.
This is what he was born out of.
Yeah.
Oh, my God. I'm lost. Me too.
I'm lost. I-I never suspected a mammal coming out of an egg.
No. Me neither.
**
Okay. This was kind of a-a dare.
And I'm gonna try -- I'm gonna do it.
I know it seems so wrong. It's not.
It's gonna be funny.
-Gabe. -Gabe, how are you?
-Hi. Good. Nice to meet you. -Okay. Yeah.
I actually don't know too much of what's going on.
It's always so weird when they have food at a wake.
-I wouldn't be able to eat. -No. I know.
Some -- Some -- -Is there someone in there?
Not yet. The body's coming in an hour.
All right. Let me get this done.
Yeah, I know. Seriously. I'm like you. Yeah.
And I think the flowers are supposed to be yellow,
but we're gonna maybe work around that.
I know that these are gonna be --
So, they brought the wrong flowers.
I think it was something like -- And he --
Rick's sort of eccentric, so he's like --
He -- I-I don't know
whether the family had asked for it or he did.
He wanted a different color.
-Oh, okay. -So, all right.
I'm gonna see if I can get him on the phone,
because we shouldn't really do too much of anything...
Without him --
Yeah. Without him telling us what to do.
Uh, thanks, man. I'll be right out.
No problem.
[ Door closes ]
-Hello. -Hey. Good afternoon.
Hey. I'm Gabe. Nice to meet you.
Gabe.
Hey, what -- what's going on here?
This -- This is, uh --
I'm just helping out. [ Chuckles ]
Well, this is nice. This is nice.
Food coming?
Um, I don't want to answer any wrong question.
That -- That came out good.
I'm not sure about this.
This one -- I'm not --
I don't know if this was what was expected.
Hmm.
-Hey. -He's in there.
Sorry?
He's in there.
Not yet. In an hour or something.
-No, I mean -- -You freaked out, man?
No, no.
[ Whispering ] There's a guy in there.
He came in in a suit.
Say again?
I think your boss or somebody came in.
-Rick came in? -Yeah, I think.
He's in the casket. -[ Chuckles ]
He climbed in. He's in there, for real.
In it? Mm-hmm.
Open it up.
I don't think that's funny, man.
I'm serious.
I just watched him get in.
Somebody got in there?
He's in there.
What are you talking about?
[ Chuckles ]
Where'd they --
He was just --
Yeah, he got in.
Did somebody come in and say
they were gonna bring the body or something?
Yeah. It was a guy in a suit.
And he had, um --
That would be Rick, maybe.
Yeah, and he had, like, a white beard.
Tall, black hair?
Short, and he had a white beard.
And he had white hair.
Came in this room?
He came -- He just walked in here.
I just talked to him.
He came in, and he goes, "Hmm. This is gonna be weird.
How are we gonna do this?"
And then he walked up here.
[ Chuckling ] This dude climbed in here,
shut the [bleep] dude.
I think you're, like --
No, I'm serious. I just --
Dude, I just talked to somebody.
I'm not crazy. What the hell? [ Chuckles ]
That would be so creepy if that was some [bleep] like --
I mean, I've been spooked out before.
Is there any other way out of here? No. Uh, no.
That's storage, table storage,
and that -- That's -- There's that right here.
-Oh, my God. -What?
Were you, like, spooked out? Did you see something?
Yes.
Like, real? Like for real?
It was --
Oh, my God. You're, like, telling me the truth.
It was -- It was flesh, dude. It was a person.
And it was that person.
Are you serious?
I promise you on everything.
I'm not crazy, dude. No, I know.
You're, like, a serious-looking guy.
I'm -- I don't play around with this [bleep]
I thought you were like -- Actually, I was mad, 'cause --
That's disrespectful. Yeah.
So, wait. What -- What happened? I walked out.
[ Exhales sharply ] That was crazy, dude.
Oh, my God. Like, that --
that's got to be somebody who works in here,
but it -- that looks -- that looked exactly like him, dude.
That -- I was right here.
Dude walks right in this door.
Dude walks right in this door, right by me,
and then I go like this to shake his hand.
That was the first part that was weird as [bleep]
Like, excuse my language, but I-I was --
I'm a little creeped out.
I went like this, and I'm like,
"Hey, nice to meet you," and then the dude kept walking.
He's, like, staring at the thing.
He's like, "Oh, this looks nice."
And I'm like, "[ Chuckles ] Okay." Dickhead.
You know? Like, he was rude. Like, you know what I mean?
And I reached out to -- to grab his hand,
and the dude didn't even acknowledge
that I was reaching -- I was like --
but he was talking to me.
That is odd.
You know, I heard a --
Oh, my God. See?!
-Dude. -That's who it was.
Bro, we -- we need to get out this room, my dude.
Wait a minute.
See, now you know I'm not lying, right?
I -- Well, no. I knew you weren't lying.
Wait a minute.
[ Clicking ]
Yeah, he was a member here.
Holy [bleep]
Okay, I -- Honestly, I actually wasn't believ--
I was kind of half-believing you.
Dude, I mean, you just saw that [bleep] happen.
I saw that happen. Okay, so now you know I'm not lying.
No, I know.
I didn't think you were telling me -- I thought you --
I'm not -- This guy was a person.
I hope you're real. [ Chuckles ]
No, I am. [Bleep] dude.
I know. I think we're -- we're both going through that --
you know, the Carbonaro effect.
What is that?
Yeah, it's the name of a hidden-camera magic TV show.
My name's Michael Carbonaro.
Hi. I'm a magician.
This is my TV show right now, "The Carbonaro Effect."
Holy crap.
What do you think? What do you think?
Dude, you were awesome.
Dude, oh, my God! [ Laughs ]
Don't leave. Don't leave, dude.
Wow. [ Laughs ]
-That was crazy. -Yeah.
You have to put that part in.
Do not edit that part out when you air this.
Do not edit out the part where I was like, "Okay.
I tried to shake the guy's hand, and he was a dick."
I love that. I love that.
"Excuse my language," you said.
Oh, my God. Gabe, you were awesome.
