>> working on your car in your garage, a manly thing to do. you might as well admit it. this is sean prince. a mazda body with a chevy 350 engine. he's trying to turn this thing over. it's not working. you can see spark come out there. then watch what comes next. now we have a full on fire here. you notice that sean is trying to continue to turn the engine over because he figured if he could get it to start, it would suck the fire back in and extinguish the flames. this poor kid is watching his project go up in flames in front of him in the garage. he pulls what looks like the fuel line. here is where things get really bad.

2:03 pm
looks like this other world. >> you hope your buddies aren't on top of this jumping up and down or something. >> as he exits, his camera hits an icicle. i'm about to show you two of my least favorite videos on the show. this surveillance video from a grocery store in houston, texas. you can see the woman behind the register casually talking to the other girl next to her. then pay attention to this guy that walks up to the counter casually and sets something on the counter, pretending to buy it. when the clerk walks up to the register, listen to what he shows her from under his jacket. >> oh, boy. >> yeah, he shows her a gun. he starts demanding the money. she complies as other people are going about their business around them. someone else just walks in. there's a girl in the back doing something else. the clerk proceeds to take the
2:04 pm
money out of the register, puts it on the counter. she goes to the other register, does the same thing and he casually walks autothe door. >> he was calm about it and it's very contained. >> police are still looking for this man. this happened at an expresso stand in washington. they jump in, they pick up the cash register, the drawer falls out. believe it or not, the only thing that was reported stolen was two cans of red bull. >> yeah. they don't leave a register full of money in there after hours. >> they ended up jumping back out. they fled in a white pick-up truck. there's a shot of that, too. >> great. they picked up the register. didn't even try, really. it was a really poor effort. an

2:06 pm
okay. here you can see the stern of that boat sinking into the water. the bow straight up out of the water. other boats gathering around to help out. they are fortunate because these boats are moving 180 miles per hour and they are close by each other. when this wrecked, there could be been another boat behind them. this is the northern hems fooer. >> it's a little experiment. which way will the water swirl? see what they are trying to prove. and guys get ready to learn how to lather up and shave. >> like your grandpa. >> with short, easy strokes and with the grain. >> this is totally different than h
