IN NEWARK, NEW JERSEY. MOST PEOPLE THINK THAT NEWARK'S
JUST INDUSTRIAL. BUT THERE'S A LOT OF OLD HOMES,
SO I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SOME GOOD ROOMS OVER HERE.
IT'S BEEN RAINING ALL MORNING, BUT NOTHING'S GONNA DAMPEN MY
DESIRE FOR MY FAVORITE JERSEY KNISH.
MAN, THAT'S A LOT OF POTATO. I'M GLAD I DIDN'T PAY BY
THE OUNCE. >> I'M GOING TO STORAGE KING
TODAY, NEWARK, NEW JERSEY. NOWADAYS, THESE ARE THE PLACES
YOU GOTTA GO. SOME PEOPLE CALL 'EM
"BRIDGE AND TUNNEL TOWNS." BUT I CALL 'EM "OPPORTUNITY."
THE LOCALS, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT GOOD STUFF IS.
THAT'S WHERE I STEP IN. I JUST GRAB IT UP.
OUT HERE, IT'S FRESH MEAT. >> I'M COMING HERE FOR WHAT
NEWARK IS KNOWN FOR. YOU GOT THE SHIPPING PORT.
YOU HAVE A LOT OF FACTORIES AROUND HERE.
SO TODAY, I BUY ONLY BIG-TIME INDUSTRIAL OR COMMERCIAL--
NOTHING ELSE. NO POTS AND PANS IN JERSEY FOR
ME TODAY. >> WE DO HAVE A LOT OF MONEY
TODAY. >> YEAH, WE'RE BRINGING ONE OF
OUR BIGGEST BANKS. WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOME CLEAN
ROOMS WITH GOOD STUFF. >> WE NEED MERCH, BIG-TIME.
>> COURTNEY AND I HAVE BEEN ON SUCH A ROLL LATELY THAT
THE BANANA VAN IS LIKE OUR SECOND HOME.
IT'S BEEN VERY GOOD TO US. >> IT HAS.
WE LOVE YOU. >> WE DO EVERYTHING IN IT.
WAIT. [record scratch]
NOT EVERYTHING. >> I HAVEN'T SHAGGED IN IT, HAVE
YOU? >> THAT'S DISGUSTING.
>> RIGHT? I'M LIKE, "UM, HOLD ON.
LET ME GET OUT A MOVING BLANKET."
[both laugh] >> "AND SORRY IF YOU GET RUG
BURN ON YOUR KNEES." >> "ON YOUR KNEES," WOW.
>> YEAH, YOU KNOW. HAVE YOU NEVER GOTTEN THAT?
I THINK I JUST EMBARRASSED MYSELF.
>> NEWARK. WHOA, NEWARK.
>> RIGHT IN OUR BACKYARD. >> [scoffs]
>> TODAY, WE HAVE MAJOR HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE.
>> IT TAKES US TEN MINUTES TO GET HERE, SO BUY WHATEVER YOU
WANT, TAD. WE GOT THIS TOWN WIRED.
WE KNOW EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY. OOH.
>> WHAT? >> WAIT.
IT'S A RIGHT, ISN'T IT? >> DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU'RE
GOING? >> OOH, I CAN GO THIS WAY,
RIGHT? >> YEAH.
>> NO RIGHT TURN. >> NO, YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
>> AAH. [horn honks]
THIS GUY'S GETTING PISSED OFF AT ME.
>> YEAH. THIS IS CLASSIC CHRIS, DRIVING
AROUND IN CIRCLES, DRIVING AROUND IN CIRCLES.
>> UGH. >> WINNING THE BEST ROOMS ISN'T
ABOUT LUCK. IT'S ABOUT HARD WORK AND
A LITTLE INSIDE INFORMATION. WHAT DO YOU GOT TODAY FOR ME?
ANYTHING GOOD? GIVE ME A LITTLE INSIDE INFO.
>> I CAN'T. >> WHICH ONE SHOULD I LOOK FOR?
>> ALL OF 'EM. THEY'RE ALL GREAT.
>> IT'LL BE OUR SECRET. >> NO, THAT'S FINE.
>> I THOUGHT THIS WAS NEWARK. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE--
I DON'T KNOW. >> DAMN, THIS BAG IS HEAVY.
IT'S FULL OF SO MUCH MONEY. >> I KNOW.
WE'RE PACKING IT. >> YEAH.
>> UH-OH. HERE COMES TROUBLE.
>> HOW'S IT GOING? >> DON'T LOOK, DON'T LOOK.
>> WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR TODAY?
>> MIKE IS ALWAYS SO NOSEY. TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO TELL HIM
MORE THAN HE ASKED FOR. PICK A CARD, PICK A CARD.
LET'S LOOK IT UP. >> YOU NEED A BOOK TO DO THIS?
>> both: YEAH. >> OH, IT'S A WOMAN, BOUND.
>> OH, YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. THE WOMEN ARE GONNA PAY TODAY.
>> IT MEANS BAD NEWS. [laughs]
>> DOES IT? SORRY, MIKE.
THAT'S THE WAY THE FORTUNE COOKIE CRUMBLES.
[cookie cracks open] >> LET ME SEE IT.
GET THAT BOOK OUT OF HERE, WITH YOUR VOODOO [bleep].
>> ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY, LISTEN UP FOR THE RULES OF THE AUCTION.
WE'RE GONNA CUT THE LOCKS. WE'RE GONNA OPEN THE DOOR.
WE'RE GONNA GIVE YOU A COUPLE MINUTES TO INSPECT THE ROOM.
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT GOING IN THE ROOM.
THIS IS GONNA BE A CASH-ONLY SALE.
AND THE ROOM WILL BE SOLD TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER.
EVERYBODY GOT IT? >> all: YEAH!
>> GOOD, LET'S GO. COME ON.
>> OOH. >> NICE.
>> THEY GOT EVERYTHING IN HERE, THE WHOLE HOUSE.
PROBABLY A CLEAN BED. LOOKS LIKE A QUALITY PIECE, NOT
A CHEAP REBUILT-- ALL THE COMFORTERS WERE KEPT
NICE AND CLEAN. WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?
THIS COULD BE A SCULPTURE OR SOMETHING.
THERE'S SOME KIND OF METAL. METAL MEANS MONEY.
THIS IS THE KIND OF NEWARK ROOM THAT LOOKS SMALL, BUT COULD PAY
OFF BIG. I GOTTA GO FOR THIS ONE.
>> HERE'S ONE OF THESE CHEAP BIG BOX SOFAS.
DOWN HERE, IT LOOKS LIKE POSSIBLY A HOPE CHEST.
BUT EVEN THAT ONE, IT'S GOT VENEER ALL OVER IT.
IT'S NOT WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR. >> OKAY.
>> NO, NOT FOR ME. >> GOT A NICE BIG AIR
CONDITIONER, 10,000 BTUs. THAT'S A COUPLE BUCKS.
ANY OTHER DAY, THIS ROOM IS CLASSIC MIKE B.
BUT TODAY, I'M STICKING TO MY PLAN--
INDUSTRIAL STUFF ONLY. >> WE'VE SEEN COOL BASKETS BACK
THERE. THERE'S A FEMININE FEELING
TO THIS ROOM. >> ARE THOSE END TABLES?
>> THEY ARE. >> IMAGINE THEM WHITE, WITH
THE ENDS IN PINK OR SOMETHING. >> OOH, I LOVE THAT.
>> YEAH. AND IT'S PACKED NICELY.
>> ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO FOR IT.
NEAT AND WELL KEPT, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

>> THAT WAS AWESOME. >> THAT WAS AWFUL.
AWESOME, I MEAN. AWESOMELY AWFUL.
>> WHOO-HOO! >> THE BOYS CAN SQUAWK ALL THEY
WANT. WE JUST TOOK DOWN JOE P, AND WE
GOT A FANTASTIC ROOM. >> I WANTED THAT ROOM.
I LIKED THAT ROOM THAT THE GIRLS GOT.
I'M BITTERSWEET OVER IT. YOU KNOW, BUT 1800'S JUST TOO
MUCH, A LITTLE TOO MUCH. I SHOULD'VE WENT MAYBE ANOTHER
BID OR TWO ON IT. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
[both scoff] >> HEY, COURT, GREAT JOB.
>> THANKS. >> HE'S BEEN SARCASTIC.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT? MAYBE YOU GUYS SHOULD BUY
SOMETHING ONCE IN A WHILE. >> WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT,
WE WILL. >> THE TIME JUST NEVER SEEMS TO
BE RIGHT. >> IF DOTTIE B DOESN'T SAY IT'S
GOOD, THEN WE DON'T BUY IT. [Dottie barks]
>> OPEN IT UP AND GET OUT OF THE WAY.
THANK YOU. >> WHOA.
>> OOH. >> NICE.
>> YOU GOT PRESSBOARD STUFF HERE, DIRTY REFRIGERATOR THERE,
REGULAR CHEAP FURNITURE THERE. THIS IS ALL LOW-END STUFF.
THE ONLY TRUCK THIS SHOULD BE LOWERED INTO WAKES ME UP EVERY
WEDNESDAY AT 6:00 A.M. NO MONEY FOR ME TO MAKE HERE.
>> YOU GOT SOME BEAT-UP OLD APPLIANCES, SOME REALLY OLD
DRESSERS. IT'S NOT COMMERCIAL.
IT'S NOT HIGH-END. IT'S NOT FOR MIKE, THAT'S FOR
SURE. >> IT'S CLOSER TO WHAT WE'RE
LOOKING FOR. I MEAN, THE DRESSER'S GOT SOME
HISTORY TO IT. THERE'S SOME PIECES IN THERE
THAT WE CAN DEFINITELY WORK WITH.
WHAT'S THE ADVANTAGE OF AN ADVANTAGE IF WE DON'T TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF OUR HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE?
>> I REALLY LIKE THE DRESSER. >> I DO TOO.
I ACTUALLY LIKE THAT FILE CONTAINER.
>> THIS IS AN OLDER ROOM, WHICH IS KIND OF COOL.
>> YEAH. WE SPENT MOST OF OUR CASH ON OUR
FIRST LOCKER, BUT WE STILL HAVE ENOUGH TO RATTLE CHRIS AND TAD.
>> REAL BIDDERS COMING THROUGH. >> LITTLE SPENDER.
>> ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO. $200 FOR THE ROOM TO START.

I HAVE 475. GIVE ME 500. >> THEY ALWAYS DO THAT.
>> THE BEST PART ABOUT BIDDING AGAINST CHRIS AND TAD, YOU CAN
STOP. THEY DON'T.
>> THAT'S WHAT THEY DO. THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE GOOD AT.
ALL RIGHT, BID. BID, BID, BID, HURRY UP.
>> 500. ANYBODY 525? >> GET IN THERE.
>> 500 GOING ONCE. >> WE GOT IT.
>> GOING TWICE. SOLD 500, TAD AND CHRIS.
THANK YOU. >> WHOO!
>> YAY! >> CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT PILE
OF TRASH. >> YOU DIDN'T BID AGAINST
YOURSELF ENOUGH. >> $1,800.
>> 1,800 BIG ONES. PAYING 1,800 FOR THIS LOCKER WAS
A LITTLE DANGEROUS. BUT, OF COURSE, DANGER IS OUR
MIDDLE NAME. THESE CHAIRS ARE CUTE.
>> THEY ARE GREAT. >> I THINK WE COULD SELL THEM
AS IS FOR 20 BUCKS APIECE. >> YEAH, WE COULD.
>> THIS IS INTERESTING. IT MUST BE THE TOP OF A TABLE,
YEAH. >> IT COULD BE $200.
[gasps] OH, MY GOODNESS.
IT'S AN OLD REMINGTON TYPEWRITER.
>> YOU CAN GET 200 BUCKS FOR IT. THIS JEWELRY--
>> IT'S COSTUME JEWELRY. I'M GONNA TAKE A NAP WHILE YOU
RECOVER THE REST OF OUR MONEY. >> OKAY, THERE'S, LIKE,
200 BUCKS IN HERE. [gasps] LOOK AT THIS.
THIS IS SO <i>SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK.</i>
>> YEAH, IT IS. >> SHE WORE THIS.
SHE'S LIKE, "AY, YAY, YAY." >> [grunts]
LOOK AT THIS BAD BOY. THIS IS AN AWESOME PIECE.
IT'S VERY UNIQUE. I THINK WE COULD PROBABLY GET
300 FOR IT. HAS DANGLY PIECES THOUGH, THAT
PROBABLY UPS THE VALUE OF IT. >> 150?
>> YEAH. >> WHAT IS IT?
>> I THINK IT'S JUST MEANT TO DISTRACT YOU FROM THE DAY'S
WORK. >> OH, MY GOD.
I COULD, LIKE, LOOK AT IT FOR HOURS.
I...LOVE THIS THING. >> EARTH TO CANDY.
COME IN, CANDY. >> both: TUPPERWARE.
>> WHOA, THIS IS WEIRD. >> WHAT IS THAT?
>> [grunts] >> both: TUPPERWARE.
>> WHOA, THIS IS WEIRD. >> WHAT IS THAT?
>> [grunts] >> MAYBE IT'S A LAMP BASE?
>> A COFFEE GRINDER? OH.
MAYBE IT'S JUST A SALT AND PEPPER SHAKER.
SEEMS UNLIKELY, THOUGH. [both laugh]
COFFEEMAKER, NUCLEAR DEVICE? WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT
THIS THING, EXCEPT THAT IT LOOKS EXPENSIVE.
>> WE SHOULD GET IT CHECKED OUT. YEAH, MAYBE IT HOLDS AN EGG.
>> MAYBE. >> WOW, LOOK AT THE SIZE OF
THIS ROOM. BAM.
>> AH. >> WOW.
>> WOW. HELLO. [imitates echo]
>> GOOD LORD. >> IT'S HUGE.
OLD SERVERS, OFFICE CHAIRS, CUBICLES.
IT LOOKS LIKE AN OLD INSURANCE OFFICE THAT CLOSED UP.
NOTHING IN HERE IS FOR ME. >> I'D MAKE ONE TRIP TO
THE DUMP. >> THIS IS A BIG OFFICE.
THE THING IS, WITH OFFICES NOWADAYS, A LOT OF THIS BIG
STUFF IS HARD TO MOVE. THE METAL STUFF DOESN'T HAVE
A VALUE. I'M GONNA GET ON THE PHONE AND
CALL SOMEBODY THOUGH, SEE IF THEY WANT IT.
>> OH! >> THIS BUSINESS WAS WAY BIGGER
THAN C & C POP-UP SHOP. >> [laughs] YEAH.
WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A PRINTER. I GUESS WE COULD USE ONE, BUT
WE CAN'T USE 20. MM-MM.
NO, NO. >> THAT'S A LOT OF COMPUTERS
STACKED UP ON THE RIGHT. YOU GOT A BIG CONFERENCE TABLE
IN THE BACK. EXACTLY THE ROOM I'VE BEEN
LOOKING FOR. NO ONE'S GONNA STAND IN MY WAY.
I'M IN ON IT. >> IT'S A BIG OFFICE ROOM.
IT'S GOT ALL THE STUFF IN IT. IT'S GOT THE DESK.
THERE'S MONEY THERE. >> WELL, ALMOST NO ONE.
>> CALL ME. SOUNDS LIKE THEY WANT IT, BUT
THEY NEED TO CALL ME BACK WITH THE GREEN LIGHT.
[cash register rings] >> ALL RIGHT, STARTING AT $200
FOR THE ROOM. >> YEAH.
>> I GOT 200. GIVE ME 250. I HAVE 250. NOW GIVE ME 300.
>> YEAH. >> NOW 350?
>> YEAH. >> I HAVE 350. 400?
>> YEAH. >> 450. GIVE ME 500.

>> YEAH. >> I HAVE 500 NOW. 550?
>> YEP. >> GIVE ME 600?
>> YEAH. >> 600 ONCE.
TWICE. SOLD, 600.
MIKE B, THANK YOU. >> STEAL OF THE DAY.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
>> YOU'RE WELCOME. >> THANK ALL OF YOU.
KNOW WHAT IT IS? EVERYBODY'S SCARED OF A LITTLE
HARD WORK. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR
COMING. WE'RE OUT THE DOOR.
LET'S GO. >> OUT OF ALL THESE ROOMS TODAY,
YOU KNOW, I KIND OF WANTED THAT ROOM.
WOULD'VE BEEN A QUICK SCORE, BUT THE PHONE CALL NEVER CAME.
[cell phone ringing] YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING.
>> HOW DID WE SPEND ON THIS LOCKER?
>> 500 BUCKS. >> WE PAID A LITTLE MORE FOR
THIS LOCKER THAN WE WANTED TO, BUT IF YOU'RE NOT IN IT,
YOU CAN'T WIN IT. HERE'S AN END TABLE.
>> OKAY. >> THERE'S ANOTHER ONE THERE.
150 BUCKS, RIGHT? BAD TV.
CRAPPY TOASTER. >> WHAT IS THAT?
>> A HAIR DRYER, SEE? LOOK, YOU GO LIKE THAT.
THAT'S $10. BOX OF SHOES.
>> THAT'S WHAT THAT SMELL IS. HEY, THIS IS A NICE LITTLE
JACKET HERE. THAT'S AT LEAST 20 BUCKS THERE.
>> 20 BUCKS, YEAH. >> [intercom] HELLO.
[Dottie barks] >> WHAT IS THAT, DOTTIE B?
>> HELLO, HELLO. [gibberish]
>> WHO'S THERE? >> OOH.
>> I'M SORRY? >> NO, I COULD HEAR SOMEBODY
SCREAMING THROUGH THE INTERCOM. >> I CAN'T HEAR YOU, MA'AM.
[both laugh] >> NO COMMENT.
>> WE GOT TWO DRESSERS. THERE'S THE LONG ONE.
THERE'S THE HIGH BOARD. >> IT'S 300 EACH.
>> THAT'S 600 BUCKS RIGHT THERE. AND YOU GOT TWO WINGBACKS RIGHT
THERE FOR 250 EACH. >> YEAH, SHOW ME THE MONEY.
>> ALL RIGHT, LOOK. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS?
>> YES. >> WHAT?
>> THEY'RE BUMPERS ON A BOAT. THEY'RE BOAT BUMPERS.
>> THAT'S NOT A [bleep] BOAT BUMPER, TAD.
IT'S A BOWLING SET. >> OKAY, IT'S A YARD BOWLING
SET. >> IS IT VINTAGE?
IF IT'S VINTAGE, IT MIGHT BE WORTH SOMETHING.
>> MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE IT LOOKED AT.
>> SO FAR, THIS ROOM HAS BEEN RIGHT DOWN OUR ALLEY.
MAYBE THIS BOWLING SET WILL GIVE US MONEY TO SPARE.
[chuckles] GET IT?
BOWLING--ALLEY--SPARE? >> $600 ROOM.
AND AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, IT WAS THE BEST ONE OF THE DAY.
ALL THE OTHER BIDDERS CHICKENED OUT, SO NOW I'M HOLDING
THE GOLDEN GOOSE AND ANY OTHER BIRD THAT SAYS MONEY.
I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS ONE. THIS IS MONEY.
ALL RIGHT, YOU GOT YOUR TIME CLOCKS HERE WITH THE FINGERPRINT
HAND SCANNER. IT'LL CALCULATE, YOU KNOW,
YOUR TIME IN AND TIME OUT, WHICH IS PRETTY MUCH WHY I DON'T WORK
A 9:00 TO 5:00 JOB. THESE RIGHT HERE, THEY GO FOR
ABOUT 500 APIECE. AND THERE'S TWO OF 'EM IN HERE.
ALL KINDS OF MONEY TODAY. WE GOT ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR,
FIVE, SIX FLAT SCREEN MONITORS. I'LL SELL 'EM FOR $40 APIECE.
ALL RIGHT, LOOK, ANOTHER BOX FULL OF MONITORS.
AND LOOK, THERE'S ANOTHER BOX OF MONITORS.
ANOTHER BOX OF MONITORS. THERE ARE SO MANY MONITORS IN
HERE, IT'S LIKE MISSION CONTROL AND A COUNTDOWN TO EASY STREET.
YOU GOT A NICE EXECUTIVE DESK. THAT'S A 500 PIECE ALONE.
SO THESE COMPUTERS RIGHT HERE, WE GOT 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12.
ALL RIGHT, WITH THE ONES IN THE HALLWAY, THOSE, TWO, YOU'RE
LOOKING AT 40 COMPUTERS AT 40 APIECE, THAT'S $1,600 ALONE.
MORE, MORE MONITORS. TEN OF 'EM IN THIS BOX.
WAIT A SECOND. HOLY [bleep], I'M WRONG.
THESE ARE ACTUALLY COMPUTERS BUILT INTO THE MONITOR.
YOU'RE LOOKING AT $3,00. YOU HAVE AT LEAST 100 PIECES OF
CUBICLE HERE. THEY GO, ON AVERAGE, FOR ABOUT
$100 USED. I'LL CUT THAT IN HALF, DO 'EM
FOR 50. YOU'RE LOOKING AT $5,000 IN
CUBICLE BOARD ALONE. WHAT DO WE GOT?
MORE HEADSETS. LET ME SEE WHAT THIS IS.
>> WHAT DO WE GOT? LET ME SEE WHAT THIS IS.
WHAT IS THIS? OH, I KNOW WHAT THIS IS.
I'VE BEEN TO COURT A FEW TIMES. STENOGRAPH--THAT LITTLE LADY IN
THE BACKGROUND PUNCHING AWAY. UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT
SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS WORTH. I WANNA GO GET THIS CHECKED OUT.
AFTER ALL, I NEED A LITTLE ICING ON THIS CAKE.
LOVE NEWARK. THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!
>> IT TURNS OUT OUR BOWLING SET IS ACTUALLY MADE OF CANDLEPINS.
SO WE'VE TURNED TO A BOWLING CHAMPION...
AHH! TO SEE IF YOU CAN LIGHT UP SOME
CASH. WE WANNA KNOW--WHAT ARE THEY?
WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT? >> WELL, YOU'RE IN THE CANDLEPIN
COUNTRY. THIS IS A GAME THAT'S PRETTY
TOUGH. WHEN THIS PIN GETS KNOCKED DOWN,
IT'S STILL PLAYABLE. WHEREAS TENPIN, WHEN YOU KNOCK
'EM DOWN, THE PINSETTER COMES COMES DOWN, RESETS THE BALL.
THE CANDLEPIN LAYS THERE. AND IT'S A DETRIMENT TO WHETHER
YOU CAN KNOCK DOWN A STANDING PIN OR NOT.
IT REALLY IS A GAME OF EXCITEMENT.
>> I SAW THEM, I THOUGHT, "WELL, MAYBE THEY'RE VINTAGE."
>> THESE PINS HERE PROBABLY, I WOULD SAY, MAYBE ARE TEN YEARS
OLD AT THE MOST. >> WHAT WOULD YOU SAY THIS
COMPLETE SET OF CANDLEPINS AND THE BALLS ARE WORTH?
>> I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE WORTH REALLY A LOT.
I'D SAY 100 BUCKS. [Dottie whimpers]
>> 100 BUCKS? IS THAT BEFORE OR AFTER TAXES?
I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS, DAD. >> I HAD TO RIDE IN THE CAR
WITH YOU. [yells]
>> NO, WAIT, WAIT. I WANT A REMATCH.
WAIT A SECOND, WAIT, WAIT. >> [laughs]
>> MY ROOM IN NEWARK WAS A SLAM DUNK.
NOW I'M TAKING THIS STENOGRAPHER MACHINE TO COURT, WHERE
THE VERDICT WILL BE PURE PROFIT. [gavel bangs]
>> HI, MIKE, NICE TO SEE YOU. YOU LOOK FAMILIAR.
>> IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE BEEN IN COURT.
>> OH, WELL, MAYBE THAT'S WHERE WE MET.
>> ONLY PROBLEM-- COURTROOMS MAKE ME NERVOUS.
WAY TOO MANY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES. WHAT IS SHE WRITING?
>> SHE'S TAKING EVERYTHING DOWN THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
THAT'S WHAT WE DO, IS-- >> THIS IS ALL ON THE RECORD?
>> THIS IS ALL ON THE RECORD. >> SEE, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING
ABOUT. THE ONE THING THAT I WAS ALWAYS
CURIOUS ABOUT-- I MEAN, THERE'S NO LETTERS
WHATSOEVER ON THIS. >> RIGHT.
>> HOW DO YOU TELL WHAT YOU'RE DOING?
>> THESE ARE ACTUALLY DESIGNED WITH MINIMAL KEYS, BECAUSE YOU
TYPE EVERYTHING PHONETICALLY-- MEANING IT'S HOW IT SOUNDS,
VERSUS ACTUALLY USING A SINGLE KEY PER LETTER.
>> SO STENO WRITERS ARE BASICALLY HOOKED ON PHONICS?
SHE'S NOT GONNA LOCK ME UP FOR THAT ONE...IS SHE?
>> THIS UNIT IN PARTICULAR IS A STUDENT VERSION.
SO IT DOESN'T HAVE ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES, BUT IT REALLY
ALLOWS A COURT REPORTER IN TRAINING THE SKILLS TO BE ABLE
TO TYPE UP TO 225 WORDS A MINUTE.
>> I MIGHT BE ABLE TO TALK 225 WORDS A MINUTE, BUT NO WAY
AM I TYPING IT. >> RIGHT.
DO YOU WANNA SEE THIS IN ACTION? >> SURE.
>> ALL RIGHT. YOU NEED TO GET UP ON THE STAND.
DO YOU SWEAR AND AFFIRM THAT THE TESTIMONY THAT YOU'RE ABOUT
TO GIVE IS THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT
THE TRUTH? >> YES.
>> WHY WERE YOU IN NEWARK? BECAUSE OF THE STORAGE UNIT?
>> YES. >> HOW MUCH DID YOU SPEND ON
THE STORAGE UNIT? >> $600.
>> WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WITH ALL THIS STUFF THAT YOU FOUND
IN THE STORAGE UNIT? >> WELL, THERE'S A FEW PEOPLE
I CAN CALL. >> MM.
HOW MANY TATTOOS DO YOU HAVE? >> I OBJECT TO THIS LINE OF
QUESTIONING. NOW, IT'S MY TURN.
I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS TO ASK YOU.
AND YOU HAVE TO BE HONEST. YOU'RE UNDER OATH.
>> SURE. >> BUT I REALLY NEED TO KNOW--
WHAT'S IT WORTH? >> $1,200.
>> YOU'RE UNDER OATH. >> I KNOW THAT.
>> YOU'RE FREE TO GO. I'M DONE WITH HER.
MAKE SURE YOU GET THAT DOWN. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF
THE JURY, THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND THIS DEFENDANT...
RICH. BUT JUST DON'T TELL THE IRS
ABOUT IT, ALL RIGHT? >> YOU'RE UNDER OATH.
NOW THEY KNOW. >> [whispers] CUT THE TAPE.
CUT THE TAPE. >> ALL THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO
LEARN ABOUT OUR OBJECT IS THAT IT PROBABLY INVOLVES ICE.
SO WE'VE TURNED TO A TOP NEW YORK ICE SUPPLIER FOR
ANSWERS, AND HOPEFULLY A COOL PROFIT.
>> MAY I SEE? THIS IS AN ICE BALL MOLD.
IT'S USED IN THE COCKTAIL INDUSTRY FOR MAKING PERFECT ICE
BALLS FOR ROCK GLASSES. >> THAT'S COOL.
TO SAY THAT I ALREADY LOVE WHERE THIS IS GOING, WOULD BE A HUGE
UNDERSTATEMENT. >> IF YOU OPEN THESE UP, YOU'LL
SEE A MOLD SHAPE. IT'S A HALF SPHERE.
THE OTHER HALF SPHERE ON THE OTHER SIDE.
SO YOU START WITH THESE CUBES. AND IT FITS SNUGLY IN HERE.
AND THEN YOU ALIGN THE PINS. >> OH, MY GOD.
>> IT'S MELTING SO QUICKLY. >> YEAH, IS THAT BECAUSE OF
THE ALUMINUM? >> IT'S REALLY A COMBINATION OF
THE CORE TEMPERATURE OF THE MIDDLE BEING SO MUCH HIGHER, AND
ALSO THE SHEER WEIGHT OF THIS MATERIAL.
>> I NEED THIS IN MY KITCHEN. [both laughing]
[both gasp] >> SO YOU CAN SEE HERE--
THE BALL'S PRETTY SNUG IN HERE, SO BY PUSHING THIS LEVER, IT
REALLY POPS IT OPEN. >> THAT IS AMAZING.
>> OH, MY GOD. >> SO HERE IT IS.
>> [gasps] >> YOU GOT A PERFECT BALL HERE.
>> THAT'S AMAZING. IS IT JUST ME, OR IS THE ICE MAN
KIND OF HOT? >> SHINTARO, HOW MUCH IS THIS
GOLDEN GEM WORTH? >> YOU CAN SEE LITTLE NICKS HERE
AND THERE, BUT IT'S IN GREAT CONDITION NONETHELESS.
I WOULD SAY... ABOUT $800.
>> THAT'S AWESOME. >> YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL PIECE
THERE. >> THANKS.
>> $800 FOR AN ICE CUBE-MAKER? THAT ROCKS.
AAH! >> [bleep] YEAH.
THAT'S AWESOME. >> WELL DONE.
>> narrator: MIKE B WAS FOUND GUILTY OF MAKING A HUGE PROFIT,
EARNING OVER 12 1/2 GRAND IN LEGAL TENDER.
CHRIS AND TAD WENT BOWLING FOR DOLLARS AND MADE NEARLY
900 LARGE ON THEIR CANDLEPINS. CANDY AND COURTNEY APPEARED ON
THIN ICE, BUT STILL EKED OUT A COOL $110 IN PROFIT.
WHILE JOE P NEVER GOT THE CALL AND WAS LEFT HANGING.
>> HOW THAT? >> IT'S GORGEOUS.
>> I LOVE IT! >> I HOPE YOU'LL TAKE IT HOME.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> BYE, LADIES.
>> BYE. >> THAT WAS--
>> AAH! >> CANDY!
[both laugh] >> I'M SORRY.
DON'T LET SHINTARO SEE. WE HAVE ONE "C" LEFT.
YOU CAN HAVE THIS ONE. I'M SORRY.
