Okay.
Come on in, Zamora Welcome to "The Freakshow.
" Thank you.
Here's our stage that you'll be performing on.
Oh, okay.
For years, we've showcased amazing stunts here at the world famous "Freakshow.
" But there's still those skeptics who doubt that what we do is real.
So, I called my friend, Zamora the Torture King, to perform a stunt that science says is impossible, and I'm gonna bring in an expert, a skeptic, and he's gonna witness it with his own eyes, and then he can decide whether it's real or not.
So, this week, we're gonna prove the impossible is possible.
Zamora, it's a real honor, man.
It's just great to have you here at "The Freakshow.
" This should be fun.
I'm known as Zamora the Torture King.
My act is all about, uh, resisting pain.
Overcoming pain and injury.
Fakir acts are are real acts.
They're based on things which would happen in other cultures and other countries.
One of the reasons I do my acts I want people to know there are things out there which are Seem incredible, seem miraculous, that are possible.
I hope to show them something they'll talk about and remember for the rest of their lives.
I wanna talk to you about what you plan on doing.
Yes, it's probably the most scary thing I've ever done.
I intend to heat metal plates, glowing hot, and walk on them barefoot.
It's a hot metal fire walk.
- Wow that's crazy.
- That's crazy.
And how hot will those plates be? Between probably 1,400 to 1,600 degrees.
- Wow! - That's nuts.
Just a few hundred more degrees up is gonna liquefy.
Molten lava is something that that is at 2,000 degrees.
- Are you hearing this, Morgue? - Yeah, that's crazy.
Hopefully, I'll be unscathed at the end of it, but I am making an incredible risk.
Fire walking is an old fakir act.
It goes back thousands of years, and has been used in dozens of cultures.
Modern medicine says it's not a legitimate threat when done with wood coals, but Zamora is gonna be walking on hot metal.
And are you sure you can pull this off? I'm sure enough that I'll that I'll do it.
Wow that will be crazy! Let's hope it's not a scary show.
- [Lela crying.]
- Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.
Okay, you want a bottle or something? Biggest challenges of a baby is their wants and needs.
You know, you gotta be constantly on your toes.
Oh, Lela, you're spilling your lunch, honey.
Okay, okay oh, crap.
Oh, crap.
Yeah, make sure everything's out of her reach.
If you turn your head that one second, bam.
- Oh! - Oh! She found the toilet paper.
- Oh, no! - Okay.
Like, you really have to watch them.
I know I know.
She kinda, you know, turned our bedroom into what looked like a major party had happened.
- [Lela crying.]
- She was - Oh, oh, oh.
- Oh, my goodness.
Watching Lela is a lot.
Aw, I want this.
Ali, I want the family style.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
I wanna be super dad.
Yeah, super dad.
Matt definitely wants to have children.
If he could do it today, he would.
But, I just don't necessarily know if that's for me.
I want the genes.
I wanna know what my nationality and your nationality, us colors mix.
- Our colors mix? - Yeah.
I definitely can see where he would make, uh, an excellent dad.
- You got that side? - Yep, I got this side, yep.
Don't wanna deprive him of anything.
So, I don't know we'll see.
- [Lela crying.]
- It's okay.
Oh, man! Are you ready for "The World Famous" "Venice Beach Freakshow?" [Cheers and applause.]
Hey, you guys, check out Tony two tails down there.
The iguana with two tails.
I want you to meet the smallest man in America.
This is Gabriel Pimentel say, "hello," everyone.
[Collective.]
Hi.
And believe it or not, this is his son, Princeton.
There you go there you go.
Yeah, we can do it, too.
Folks, y'all don't be nervous.
Y'all come on over this way.
We're about to get the live show started.
Everyone, this way, if you would.
I'd like to bring up a man known as the most dangerous sideshow performer in the world.
What he does, would kill most men.
Y'all give it up for him here he is now.
[Cheers and applause.]
Morgue.
Well, folks, today, I'm gonna be performing for you one the very first acts that I ever learned.
It's also one of the most dangerous acts that I do.
I've been to the emergency room, uh, performing this act before.
[Collective gasps.]
[Cheers and applause.]
Yeah! Now, folks, the next man you're gonna meet is world famous.
He's known as the Torture King.
Make sure you come back tomorrow.
He's gonna do what no other man I know has ever done in history.
I won't tell you exactly what he's gonna do, but it involves steel plates heated to 1,600 degrees.
His body coming in contact with them.
So, please, give a big round of applause - for Zamora the Torture King! - [Cheers and applause.]
Supposedly, scientifically, this is not possible.
I want him to prove that it's possible for a man to walk on steel plates that are heated to over 1,500 degrees.
So, I was thinking, you know, um, we need to get a bigger place, you know, if we're gonna start having a baby.
You know, a baby needs its own room.
You need to slow down on the baby stuff.
I'm ready.
I wanna, you know, get these little generations, little rugrats going, and build that family foundation up.
This is what I want.
We have to both want it.
So, what do you mean? I mean, are you just You don't wanna, you know, uh, have a family in the future? Well, I'm not saying that, but I'm just saying, you want it, like, right now, and I never said that I'm gonna have a baby with you tomorrow.
I never said that.
I don't know what to do I mean, I want a baby now.
You know, I mean, what's the point of this marriage, you know, if we're not gonna have a baby? You know, what do I have to do? Go look for someone else? I can't believe I'm hearing this! Wait, wait did you just say that? Did you did you really just say that to me? If Ali doesn't want kids right now, that's a big problem for me because, you know, marriage, to me, is like, you know, building that foundation up into a family.
Why would you say that? That is, like, the opposite thing of what you should say.
- Is that what you call love? - Ali, I just meant Oh, I love someone so much, I'm gonna tell them that I should go find someone else.
I'm sorry.
Sometimes, I handle being upset the wrong way, and I should handle it the right way.
- You think? - Yeah.
And I need help on that, okay? I'm sorry.
All right, folks, give it up for this amazing man, known as Zamora the Torture King.
- [Cheers and applause.]
- Come on! In India, they do something to clean themselves from the inside out.
Gonna do my own unique version.
First, I'm gonna take the string, swallow it down into the stomach.
Scalpel, hemostat.
Gonna cut into myself, into the stomach, try to reach inside, retrieve that string.
Okay, I'm inside.
I think I got it.
[Collective.]
Oh! That's what I'm talking about! That is awesome! We're gonna decorate this, so we'll all know when it's completely out From inside me.
That is awesome! [Cheers and applause.]
- Yeah! - Are you ready? - Yep, I'm ready.
See what's up with our seeds and eggs.
Matt made a comment that definitely really hurt my feelings, but I know he loves me.
I do know that he's really stressed out, and he wants to have kids.
Perfect okay, I'll let Dr.
Kumar know you're here, - okay? - Oh, my gosh.
Sometimes, I think it would be great to have kids.
I definitely love children.
I'm open to exploring what our options are, as far as possibly being parents.
So, each one of those represents an egg.
Each one of those little, dark circles.
Oh, wow that's cool! We see it over here, on the left side.
Do you guys see the dark circles? - Yeah.
- We see one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
That's actually wonderful.
- That's really good news.
- Oh, right on.
That was all the torture for today.
Oh, that's it that was easy.
Let's, uh, check the sperm and see where you stand.
All right, thanks.
All right, thank you again, doctor.
- You're welcome.
- All right, honey.
- Enjoy.
- Take care.
All right.
You know, her eggs are fine.
She's basically fertile myrtle.
Now, it's all about me.
I hope I ain't shooting blanks.
I shoot it in there? Yeah, you'll shoot this guy in here.
All right, awesome cool! I'm just gonna lock this door behind you, okay? All right, great thanks! - All right, see ya later! - See ya.
All right, gotta get ready for Gi Joe action.
So, Jim, I'm glad you came over.
Yeah, I'm glad, too.
What a cool place you have here.
- Thank you.
- My name is Jim underdown.
I'm the executive director of the "center for inquiry," in Los Angeles, and I'm the chair of the independent investigations group.
We look into strange and wild claims, and that's what I'm doing here today, to see if this novel, new fire walking claim is really what it seems to be.
Zamora's told me he wants to heat these metal plates to 1,400 to 1,600 degrees.
I can't imagine him not getting burnt.
- That's the scary part.
- Yeah.
To be honest, I'm I'm kinda scared for this guy.
Scientifically, somebody walking across orange, hot plates of metal, I'll be very surprised if he can walk across them without some damage to his feet.
There's no faking the physics involved here.
Steel plates are very conductive of heat.
So, if you're saying that you need some special state of mind to do this, or that you have some supernatural ability to withstand whatever, I don't think so.
This is the first time that someone's attempting something here that I almost don't want him to try.
- I'm so nervous.
- You are nervous? Yeah, I'm nervous.
Today, we're getting results from the fertility clinic.
I just hope Matt understands that, if it is a good reading, he can maybe ease up a little bit and know that it is good, and we possibly have an option of being parents.
Hi, Ali this is Fawn, calling from Dr.
Kumar's office.
Just wanted to go ahead and give you the test results.
Uh, the AMH level was excellent.
Um, so it's very favorable for treatment.
Um, and Matt's, uh, semen analysis is excellent, as well.
If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call back at the office.
Have a wonderful day bye-bye.
- Wow.
- Yes! - Yes, yes! - Wow.
My sperm's a-okay they're swimming.
Yeah! - And you said you're good.
- Yeah.
Yeah! Oh, so relieved.
- Wow! - We can become parents.
- If we decide to.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, my gosh what a reliever.
I know that was the news that you were looking for.
But, I have to tell you something, or I wanna talk to you about something.
You know, honey, I, you know, I just got done recovering from my hip surgery.
I'm feeling better.
I feel energized.
You know, there's just, um - Yeah.
- You know, things that II wanna do I wanna live.
- I don't want - You're not ready? - No, I I'm not ready.
- Yeah.
I don't even know if I wanna have children.
[Sighs.]
I don't even know if I wanna have children.
Well, I love you so very much, and I wanna be a a father really bad.
I know how much you wanna be a dad.
I I get it.
And I never wanna, you know, keep you from being able to be a dad.
But, I'm just not ready I'm sorry.
I'm just I'm not there, you know? - I'm sorry.
- I can't be selfish and pressuring you into having a baby, and it's something that you're not ready for.
- Yeah.
- And I love you so much.
I just wanna make sure you're happy.
My marriage is more important to me right now than having children.
And all I want is just for me and you to love each other, and to grow more and more, each day.
That means a lot.
It really does it means a lot.
- I love you so much.
- I love you, too.
Okay, baby.
Come here.
The people have been waiting to see this stunt.
The sun's about to set.
It is time.
Sixteen hundred, seventy-one.
The metal plates have reached the temperature, and I can't express to you how scared I am for this man.
He could be, literally, crippled.
Hey, Zamora, if you don't mind, he'd like to just examine your feet, quickly.
Yep, no problem.
There's no anything on there.
It looks like a regular foot.
I've been watching the whole set-up of what's gonna happen here, and, as far as I can tell, it's all legitimate.
There's real heat on those real steel plates.
- Whoa.
- It busted right off.
That's how hot it is.
I don't think this is fake, in any way.
Okay, folks, what you're about to witness, is a man that's gonna demonstrate the impossible.
In each one of these grills, is a solid steel plate that has been heated to orange hot.
There's a huge risk here that, when he steps on them, his feet will melt to the bone.
[Collective.]
Ooh! If you would, folks, y'all make as much noise as you can for Zamora the Torture King! [Cheers and applause.]
Yeah! Look at that it's cooking right there.
Okay, get out of the way! Here it comes be ready.
[Indistinct.]
[Cheers and applause.]
Y'all give it up for Zamora the Torture King! Give it up for this man right here! Yes, give it up! - Are you okay? - Yeah, I think I'm good.
There's my feet some discoloration.
I did suffer a little bit more than I usually do.
I think Jim was surprised by the outcome.
It might make him reconsider some aspects of fire walking.
- It is okay? - Yes, ma'am, it is okay.
[Cheers and applause.]
This was an amazing week here at "The Freakshow.
" Matt and Ali learned that it's possible for them to have children.
Whether they will or not, remains a dream for the future.
And then, we saw Zamora the Torture King prove the experts wrong, when he did what no other man in history has ever done, and showed the impossible is actually possible, right here, at "The Freakshow.
" - Y'all give this man one big round of applause! - [Cheers and applause.]
I'm kinda surprised you're standing up, - at this point.
- Yeah, I'm a little damaged, but not incredibly damaged.
I smelled a little burn on there, but that you could even be walking away from that is pretty amazing.
And everything that I saw was real, that he was not faked This foot was not faked.
That was not faked either.
Yeah.
Zamora, you are the man.
- Thank you.
- I'm just glad you are ok.
I was about to have a nervous breakdown.
