"From the *** of the lahalamalagoola, watch what we're gonna do now." "We're gonna whirl you away." "Freaks, wonders, curiosities, strange, bizarre, everything that's advertised out here we have on the inside." "We do it every day just the way you did it your whole career." "I don't care what anybody says, curiosity will never die." "Well mother nature knows no right, mother nature knows no wrong when she brings these unusual children into the world." "Folks, today you will witness the strangest creatures on earth." "The living wonders of the world and the most amazing people on the planet, they're all inside." "What you thought was a myth, you will see with your own eyes." "Welcome to the "Freakshow."" "Let's go... come on, baby." "Come on, pink..." "let's go." "[Whistles] Come on, pink." "I'm really excited about this road trip we're about to take." "I'm going after the rarest specimen in sideshow." "Bobby Reynolds, the king of the sideshow, his two-headed babies preserved in a jar like this." "Umhmm." "Prettiest little boys with two heads and one body." "That's cool." "I have the largest collection of two-headed animals in history." "But the one thing that I've never had, and could never find, was a real human two-headed baby." "These represent a real transition from the old era to the new." "From the king of the sideshow to our show." "Do you think he'll sell it to ya?" "If it's possible I'll get it, but we're talking about Bobby and Anita." "We're gonna be dealing with two of the toughest negotiators in the world." "Anyone that knows Bobby has tried to get these babies." " Hmm..." " And he's never let go of them." "But for some reason, I just feel like this is the time." " We'll see what happens." " I know, right?" " Mmm-hmm." " The other thing, son, is that, I'm going to get the lobster boys son to go to Bobby's house with us." " Really?" " Yeah... grady stiles the third." "His dad was probably the most famous human oddity in the history of sideshow." "Really?" "And he's got the same lobster claws like his dad." "Two big fingers that he would clap-clap, like that... like a lobster claw." "One reason I'm bringing grady with us is," "I really wanna bring the freakshow to Bobby." "I think if he sees grady working with us he'll understand we're true to the old tradition." "That era is dead except for our show." "Now, are ya ready?" " I'm excited." " Let's do it." " Hey, hey." " Hi." "What's going on?" " Good to meet you, man." " You too." "Good to finally be out here." "I actually got these out to show you." "Haha-I know that one." "Wow, I was so little." "Yeah, dude." "When was the last time you saw that?" "I'd say about 15-16 years ago." "That brings back memories." "Isn't that amazing?" "The guy we're gonna go see, uh, today is Bobby Reynolds." "Bobby was kinda like the o..." "west coast king of sideshows." " Yeah." " It'll be fun." "We'll talk sideshow with 'em." " Yeah." " You know, he's an old school guy." "We're gonna bring a little bit of sideshow back to Mr. Bobby Reynolds." "And that's a big reason we're bringing grady, the lobster boy with us." "Bobby worked with his father." "He's got a two-headed baby in a jar." " Oh, wow!" " And they're beautiful." "They're really cute." "Okay." "And we'll see if we can come home with that." "You wouldn't mind holding the baby on the way home, would ya?" "[Laughing]" " Of course not!" " Bye, have fun." " You got it grady?" " Yeah, I got this." " It was nice meeting you." " You, too." "Nice, nice." " Let's do it." " All right, here we go." "Hey listen, let's don't bring up the babies." "I'll bring 'em up at a certain point." "Yeah, you don't want to bombard him with it." "Yeah, I don't wanna, like, we walked in the door and started talking about the babies." " Babies." " Yeah." "I'm surprised he's not more excited about the idea of selling it knowing it'd be on display, you know." "Well, to be honest, I think it's kinda his last and most special piece." "Even though he's so much older, you know he's not gonna go on the road, inside he still feels like next season he might go out." "The only chance I've got is to speak to them from my heart." "I wanna just tell 'em how it is and see where I land." "Hey, so since we have the day off, are you guys in the mood to do something?" "Yes." "I'ml'm older than ya'll." "Ya'll take the day off and I'm gonna rest and take it easy, okay?" "What's going on?" "What do you do for fun, morgue?" "Yeah, what do you do for fun?" " On your off time?" " On my off days?" "Seriously, what do you do?" "I don't leave-I don't leave my apartment." "I stay... no, seriously." "On my off days, I just stay at home." "We should go roller skating." "Freak skate..." "freak skate, yeah." "That'd be fun..." "a freak skate." "Freak skate, freak skate." "You want to go to a roller rink." "Yeah!" "You should come." "Um, outside of the freak show, okay, I don't do this kind of stuff." "I-I-I don't leave..." "seriously, all right?" "I got issues going on." "It'll put me in a very weird state." "Just see what happens." "We'll make it fun, we'll make it fun." " We're gonna kidnap you." " All right, all right." "I like you guys." "I respect you guys, so, yeah." "Don't take that lightly because I-I-I choose my friends very carefully." "Wait, who's driving?" "I can drive but my car is really, really tiny, like me?" "Really..." "are you being serious?" " I'm just kidding." " Oh, I thought... [laughing] It's a normal car." " So, are we good?" " Yeah, let's go." " All right, let's go!" " All right, cool, let's do it." " I'm so excited." " Me too." "I'll meet you, right." "I'm gonna hung out with grady." " $4.95... out of $5." " Here ya go." "Now, I was noticing your hands." " Yeah." " Yes." "I'm actually known as the lobster boy." " Okay." " Because of course this." "It's actually called ectrodactyly which means that it was... that bones fused while in the womb." "It's a birth defect type thing." " Oh, okay." " Yeah." "Is double jointed a birth defect?" "You know, I think it actually is, technically." "I can do some cool things, too." "Yeah." "You need to come down to the "venice beach freakshow."" " I know." " I was gonna say." "Come check it out." "Bend my fingers weird ways." "Awesome... have a great afternoon." "Bye." "What was it like in the old days, when you were a kid?" " Being at gib town?" " Yeah." "Oh, man, I used to love going over there." "Gibsonton has always been known as where all the carnies go at the end of the season and grady grew up in that." "Any day I could walk outta my house and go directly across the street and there was a guy that had big cats." " Wow." " You mean, like tigers?" "Yeah, not like big house cats." " Yeah-yeah-yeah." " Wow!" "Lions and tigers, and not bears, but oh my." "[Laughing]" "Any other people that you remember from that time?" "Percilla actually used to babysit me." "No way!" "Wait, percilla the monkey girl?" "Right... yes." "That's who we're talking about, right?" " Yes, I am." " Wow." " What was that like?" " Being a freak myself..." " Yeah." " Um, we were just people." " Yeah." "So it was just like your neighbor babysitting for you." "Well, that's just like, for history, it's just so cool, like history-wise." "Yep." "To be like, "oh yeah, she was my babysitter."" "Yeah." " I need about a size nine." " How 'bout you?" "You know, I'm good right now but I might get 'em later." "Is that all right?" "So you're gonna sit out for now?" "Yeah, I might go later." "Maybe." "Let me soak up the atmosphere." "Morgue, I haven't really seen you outside of the freakshow too often... - well, I don't really go out." "We want you to skate, morgue." "That's what that meant." "You should get some." " I might." " Please, please." "With a cherry on top?" "I'll think about it, Asia." "I mean, I'll think about this." " Nope, do it... do it." " Gimme a sec." "How do you do that?" "I got that swerve on 'em." "Do you think morgue's okay?" "I don't know." "He looks like he's having fun?" "I don't really leave my apartment." "I feel very uncomfortable in these situations." "It makes me nauseous." "It makes me claustrophobic." "It does really upset me, so I just need to get out and sort of compose myself, so I can put on a happy face." "This is one of those days that I'm never gonna forget." "The one thing that I've never had, and could never find, was a real human two-headed baby." "And Mr. Bobby Reynolds has always had one." "I've got a black bag full of cash money, $20,000." "And I don't know how anybody could turn down $20,000." "But I've seen it happen." " Hey." " Hi, hey, ho." " Good to see you." " Yeah." " Hey Bobby." " How ya doing?" " How ya been?" " One day at a time." " Nice to see ya." "Well, ya know, I actually brought a special friend with me today, Bobby." "Who?" "You might remember his father, the lobster boy." "Well, this is his son, from the lobster family." "Hey, grady stiles..." "how 'bout that." "He wanted to meet ya today too, Bobby." "How ya doin' young man?" "Do you remember... of course you remember his father." "I worked with him." "Any stories from those days?" " None I can tell." " Oh!" "Tell 'em where you started, in the flea circus." "The first opening I ever made on a show was a flea circus." "That's awesome." "Hubert's museum proudly presents, none other than Professor heckler's trained flea circus." "Fleas that juggle, jump through hoops, play football." "The strange, the weird, the bizarre, the macabre, and the unusual." "Wow." "We used to make openings on the... to get an extra quarter, once you were in the sideshow you got another quarter because that was called the blow off." "A blow off, what is that?" "A blow off is inside when you try to collect more money." "And you put up some kind of side wall or if nothing else you hang a sheet up and hide something behind." "This is something that wasn't advertised on the banners outside." "That's right." "Folks you haven't paid for this... for only one dollar you are going to see something... if I didn't tell you about this you wouldn't even know it was here." "Yeah." "You wanna go and get what's hidden under that, uh, chair back there?" "And that- that stuff like this, that's the extra dollar, sometimes." " Wow." " Wow." "Well here-here's my big question, this is the big one... no, you can't buy it." " Well, here's my big question..." " No, you can't buy it." "Lemme ask the question." "No, we-we don't sell 'em." " Yeah." " I know, Bobby." "But let me just..." "lemme get..." "lemme get it out to ya." "Okay." " We've got a show..." " No [Deleted]." "As you know, and it is... it is the last show of it's type that's really representing the way, like, you guys did it." "Get to the point." "The point is, is that, I think we really do represent what y'all represent." "We're not like a lot of other people that have come here before and just want... you sound like 'em." "Nono, he sounds different." "Ah, in our museum we can actually have a display where we talk about your show." "And where we have it on display as your babies, not as my babies but as, from your show." "Well, how do I get paid?" "I want 50%." "Ah, well... well, that's a good question." "But I think the way... - you want 'em outright." "I wanna buy 'em, but I wanna buy 'em at a price that makes you feel like it's worth it for you." "And I do really wanna preserve your history and present them in a way, so that they're seen with you're history." "This bag I've been carryin'..." " with the money in it." " All day." "I feel like... - so how many piles you putting on the table?" "Yeah." "Well, how many would it take?" " Just keep piling' up." " Keep goin'." "I'm gonna count money tonight." "Throw it in." "Thank you." "Son, make sure you've got them because you can always make a living with these." "Mmhmm, I won't let them go." "That's your brother." " Brother from another mother." " Treat 'em like that." "II will." "I feel like we're keeping it in the family." " Thank you so much." " Thank you, Bobby." "You've made my husband's dream me true." "These little boys are so iconic that everyone in sideshow knows who they are." "And for him to hand them to us, it's a dream come true." "Congratulations." "Are you okay?" "Yeah, I appreciate you coming out though, I do." "You have this issue with anxiety like, does this happen every time you go in a public place?" "I just have issues, in the past and," "I don't know, it just brings back bad memories." "Why don't you just let the past be the past and create better memories?" "It's about being pressured to put myself in situations that I don't enjoy being in." "But, right now what you're doing is clearly not productive." "So why don't you try to redirect your energy in a better way?" "I don't know about skating at the moment." "It's not about the skating." "Even if you don't like skating, just try to have fun with people that you like." "Life lesson right here." "Hahaha." "I'm giving you a life lesson, morgue." "Ah, come on." "Come on." "Okay whoa!" " Let's go inside." " Okay, good." "Whoo!" "[Giggling]" "I know it's not really your thing." "I was thinkin' about maybe challenging you on the bubble bobble." "Me and you, what d'you say, man?" " All right!" " Bubble bobble battle." "Let's go play." "Go git 'em bro... go get 'em." "Oh, my boys a champ already." "Don't let 'em get you." "Playing the game with creature kind of helps me get to know him a little better." "Make a connection with creature." "I mean, he's a fun guy and I think they're interesting people and it's worth getting to know them better." "So if I focus more on that, yeah, it's not a total waste of time." "Oh!" "[Laughter]" "Oh, [indistinct]." " Get that "m."" " M, where's the m's?" "Where are the m's?" "Glitch." "I couldn't believe, we're on the road, and I see Bakersfield, and all of a sudden it hit me, you've been talking to a guy in Bakersfield for three years about a six-legged cow" "and you're about to go through that town right now." "Nice to meet ya, I'm Todd ray." "Nice to meet you." "I talked to you on the phone a few tis." "Hey, pretty girl." "She is pretty." "Is this the first one you ever had born like this?" "Oh, yeah, I never... in 22 years I never had six-legged." "The six-legged cow is incredible." "You can't leave a six-legged cow just sittin' on some farm somewhere... it's impossible." "Well, here's the big question, how much you want to get for her?" "Well that one's big..." "twelve hundred." "Well, I tell you what, if I can find a place to keep her, I'll give you $1,500." " Okay, you got a deal." " Okay." " All right." " Wait-wait... what?" "[Laughing]" "This is my wife, of course." "[Laughter]" " Wait, what?" " Hey, they're back." " Hey!" " What's up." "Everybody let's do it..." "let's get this going." "It's show time, once again." "Grabhat hypnotic wheel right there." "[Giggling]" "Perfect." "I got it." "Here, set it down for a second." " Hey, grady." " Hey." "Actually, grady, one of the things I wanna give you since you told me you didn't have it, is this pitch card." " Oh, awesome." " Of your dad, you and your sister in the old days." "Very cool..." "thank you very much, man." "I want you to know, you've got a new family here." " Thank you, man." " We love you, brother." "We love you." " Love you t, man." " All right, man." "So I'm gonna get it started." "All right, boys and girls, folks, it is showtime here at the world famous freakshow." "Are you folks ready?" "[Cheering]" "All right, well listen, inside you're going to see the strangest show on earth, the living wonders of the world." "You're gonna see the sword swallower, the female fire-eater, the human blockhead." "They're all right through those curtains." "And wait 'til you see our special guest." "Here comes the lobster boy now." "Give 'im a round of applause, folks." "This is one of the most famous circus sideshow performers in history." "So come on up, it is show time, folks." "Bring the kids, bring the cameras." "The show's about to begin here at the world famous freakshow." "Hey, come on in." "Enjoy the show." "Wow." "[Cheering]" "Well, grady comes from many generations in the sideshow." "This condition runs through his family." "Yep." "You guys can show that around if you want to." "That's me, my dad, and my sister." "So ladies, why don't y'all go shake has hand." " How ya doing?" " Nice to meet you." "If you got any questions, feel free, don't be nervous." "That's what this is about." "How is it writing?" "Can you write?" "Because of the fact that I was born this way, it wasn't like I was in an accident and had to go through rehabilitation, it's how I grew up, so I just adapted." "Does it bother you when people refer to you as lobster boy?" "No, I refer to me as the lobster boy." "This planet is a world of wonder." "You've seen two-headed animals." "You've seen strange performers." "You've met the lobster boy." "But in this part of the show, you're gonna get a chance to see what hasn't been seen for 30 years, a real human two-headed baby." "[Gasping]" "While you're looking at them, ask yourself this, do they have two souls?" "Take your time 'cause this is once in a lifetime." "The two-headed baby will be a piece of tradition" "it's not just a hopainting on a banner." "It's real." "It's alive." "And when you walk inside this show, you'll see it all." "This is the world famous freakshow." "It's the strangest show on earth." "And you'll talk about it for the rest of your life." "Here ya go." "All right, get ready." "Hold on." "Yeehaw." "[Laughing]" "Hop in the back, Phoenix... hop in the back." " Yeah." " I'm like, nervous." "Aww... too bad!" "All right, just make a funny face." "You too, Phoenix." " Whoo!" " Ah, that's great." "[Laughing]"
