1 Right now, on "Freakshow.
" We are celebrating the true living giant.
[Cheering.]
Wow! Seven hundred blades.
There's no way you're gonna be able to do this without getting some cuts.
- [Gasps.]
- Oh, my God! You could've killed yourself.
If something's gonna happen, I might as well do it on the stage.
A bed of razor blades.
Wow! 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.
" Did you know he worked on "aliens?" I know that that's when I knew he was the man.
Yeah, that's one of my favorite movies.
- Yeah.
- That's crazy.
This week, we're celebrating the history of giants in the circus sideshow.
Here at "The Freakshow," we always have to have the strange creatures, the amazing people, and the unbelievable stunts, and that's where Morgue comes in.
Whoa this place is cool.
Whoa look at this.
- Wow! - Oh, my goodness! That's crazy.
- Hey, Rick.
- Hey.
- Well, nice to see ya.
- Hey.
- Todd, right? - Todd yep, Todd.
- Hey, Rick.
- Morgue.
- Yeah, how you doing? - Hi Asia.
I kinda have a specialty item that I'm getting built, and it needs to be really precise.
And I think, with your background and everything, you're probably the only guy I would feel comfortable doing it.
- Okay, cool.
- But, um, it's a, uh, a bed of razor blades.
And, uh, that you're gonna do what with? Uh, lay on them.
And if I can accomplish this stunt, it'll move me forward as an artist.
And I think it would be nice, if my mother could come out and see this part of my life.
It's a part of my life that she's not familiar with.
She hasn't seen me perform before.
It's actually gonna be sorta like these - Okay.
- Old bed of nails.
- Right.
- But, uh, with razor blades.
The bed of nails has always been a staple of the circus sideshow.
It goes back thousands of years to the fakirs of India.
These mystical men, who could control pain using only their mind.
Okay, now it's getting even crazier.
That's like a box cutter blade.
- Ooh.
- These, right? Yeah, yeah.
How would you line those up, so they could be so perfect? 'Cause if his flesh goes over that corner - Right.
- It's a instant cut - and and a serious one.
- This is a nice challenge.
Um, but I should say, I have I have a reservation.
I'll do it, but on one condition, and that is, you don't hold me responsible for injury, death.
Would you be willing to sign a waiver? Oh, yeah, yeah no problem whatsoever.
- Let's get it going.
- Yeah, yeah, sounds good.
All right, let's do it.
If Morgue can pull off this bed of razor blades, it's gonna be amazing, 'cause any mistake could mean life or death for Morgue.
When I moved to California, I broke up with my ex-girlfriend, Diane, back home in Virginia.
Maybe we need to take a break.
If we take a break, you know it's gonna end.
Okay.
It was a tough decision.
You know, because I really, truly have great love for Diane.
Even though I miss Diane dearly, but, uh, by relocating here in California, I'm gonna try some online dating and see where that leads to.
- George? - Yes.
- How are you? - I'm fine how ya doing? I'm well wow! You said you were tall, but wow you're really tall.
Yes, I am.
I stand 7 foot 8.
That's almost three feet taller than me.
Well, hey well, yeah.
- You ready to get started? - Yeah.
- I did it.
- Oh, you you did it before.
Oh! I think this one's rigged.
So, tell me, uh, what's your choice of music? I think that, uh, Katy Perry's new album - is really fun.
- Oh.
So, you are country-western or what? Lizzy, she is a very, very nice young lady.
But, right now, she's a little bit too young for myself, and pretty short.
I'd prefer a tall woman, for one thing, we see eye to eye.
- [Chuckling.]
- Ah, I got it.
- A low five and a high five.
- And high five.
All right sweet.
- Hey, Todd you wanna grab these curtains? - Hey! - I don't wanna slice 'em up.
Ooh, wow! - Oh, sh hey, Rick.
- Hey, how's it going, Todd? - Wow that looks cool! - Doesn't it look good? Oh, man, you actually did it.
Seven hundred and something blades.
Wow! Now, you just gotta lay on it.
- Yeah, that's the, uh - That's the fun part.
That's the fun part that's right.
Thank you.
You definitely did a hell of a job.
Yeah, thank you very much for making this.
- Ow s! - You okay? - Did you just get cut? - Yes.
I hate to say it, Morgue.
There's no way you're gonna be able to do this without getting some cuts.
Well, we'll see and save it for the show.
This is a very difficult stunt.
I have to have complete focus, and my body weight has to be distributed across the blades evenly.
And if I slide even just a little bit, uh, things are gonna get bloody really fast.
Well, I'm glad I got my waiver.
- [Laughter.]
- You did get that, right? Hey, mom.
So, do you think you can make it? You sure you can't come? So then, there's no way? Yeah, I get it I I understand.
Okay, mom.
All right, love you, too.
Yeah, it sounds cool.
- Hey.
- Hey, man.
- Hi.
- What's going on? - Talking about the event.
- Oh, nice.
You're not you're not having second thoughts, - are ya? - No, no.
Oh, okay.
I was, uh, just on the phone with my mom, you know, 'cause I wanted her to actually come down.
- Really? - But yeah.
It doesn't really look like that's gonna happen, - which is too bad.
- Really? I was hoping she would, but Has she ever seen you perform? Um, no.
Not, like, in front of a crowd or anything.
- She doesn't like crowds.
- 'Cause she doesn't like She doesn't like crowds no, no.
Well, I grew up in Montana, and, you know, it was it was pretty isolated.
We were about 20 minutes outside of any town.
And then, we spent a large amount of time in our cabin, which was, uh, in the woods, in a mountain, really.
It was just a lot of isolation 'cause, you know, I We lived there, and I was also home schooled.
- You were home-schooled? - Yeah, my my entire life.
- Wow! - So but, yeah.
Growing up, there was a lot of censorship 'cause she's a very, very, very, very intensely religious person.
You know, movies, only, like, G-rated movies, and even sometimes tho-those would have to be edited out.
- Wow that's hardcore.
- You know, she just doesn't really like being around people, and I can't really say that I blame her.
Uh, I don't, either.
I'm a little disappointed that my mother isn't going to come out.
I would like my family to be able to understand why I've made the choices that I've made, why I've chosen to become who I really am.
So, that's why I moved out, uh, just so I could, uh, just work on my stuff.
You know, just figure stuff out.
Sometimes, the way I look at it is, sometimes things like that happen in your life, and it ends up giving you a great perspective - on the world.
- Right, yeah.
So, sometimes, you go through those things in life, and you end up in a good place, instead of a bad place.
- Somebody else is coming? - Yeah.
We've got a special performer coming for this event.
- Aah.
- It's gonna be fun! Well, George went out um a date with a smaller woman.
So now, I've set up a little dinner date, with a giantess.
She'll amaze the audience at our giant event, and I thought it would be great to see if she and George might make a love connection.

Folks, you've seen this, but wait 'til you see what's gonna happen inside.
Come um up here it's showtime! Yeah! Now, folks, this next stunt involves razor blades, and I want you to watch.
This is a blade from a box cutter, and what Morgue has decided to create, is this right here A bed of razor blades.
[Collective gasps.]
Now, folks, this next stunt involves razor blades.
[Collective gasps.]
The danger here is that, if he slides this way or that way, he will have all these slices across his entire back.
His spine is in jeopardy.
His nerves, everything.
Morgue? Once I lay um this bed of razors I'm going to have a mirror placed across my chest.
I'm gonna raise a brick, and drop it, and shatter the mirror.
This mirror is a metaphor for me and destroying a part of myself that I don't believe should be there.
This is about destroying past, about destroying an upbringing.
This is about a new beginning.
[Collective gasps.]
Ow! [Cheering.]
Today, we accomplished a great deal.
I've always looked at the old Barnum and Bailey pitch cards, when they would have two, maybe three giants.
But today, we had four giants.
And then, Morgue performed a stunt that was really a piece of art.
The man released his emotions from the past, while he risked his life on a bed of razor blades.
Ow! It was the show they'll talk about forever, and it happened right here, at "The Freakshow.
" [Cheering.]
George the giant, he's got the world record for the most weight on a man while laying on a bed of nails.
Go! [Cheering.]
[Cheering.]
[Indistinct.]
Yeah!
