>>> ALL RIGHT.
AND WELCOME BACK TO A VERY
SPOOKY "HOUSTON LIFE."
ARE YOU RAZA FOR A SPOOKTACULAR
EVENT?
>> ABSOLUTEL
HERE TO TALK ABOUT WHERE YOU CAN
TAKE YOUR KIDS FROM LOADS OF
SPOOKTACULAR FUN.
WE HAVE KEITH FROM THE
CHILDREN'S MUSEUM OF HOUSTON.
>> WELCOME, KEITH.
AND WELCOME TO ALL OF OUR
ADORABLE LITTLE MONSTERS AND --
[OVERLAPPING SPEAKERS]
>> GUYS, LOOK AT THIS ONE.
THIS IS CLARK KENT TURNING INTO
SUPER BOWL.
>> OR SUPERMAN TURNING BACK INTO
CLARK KENT.
>> THAT'S TRUE.
THE KIDDOS WILL LOVE WHAT YOU
HAVE TO SHOW.
>> OF COURSE, HALLOWEEN IS THE
COOLEST TIME OF YEAR.
SO WE BROUGHT LIQUID MY FRO JEN.
WE'RE TALKING NEGATIVE 321
DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.
>> I SHOULD NOT PUT MY HANDS IN.
>> YOU SHOULD PROBABLY NOT.
I RECOMMEND AGAINST THAT
PERSONALLY.
THAT'S JUST ME.
BUT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT,
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT STUFF THAT
IS ABOUT EIGHT TIMES COLDER.
IF YOU COMPARE ROOM TEMPERATURE,
IT'S KIND OF WARM, BUT ROOM
TEMPERATURE COMPARED TO ICE,
THIS IS ABOUT NINE TIMES COLDER.
WHICH MEANS THAT THINGS CHANGE.
>> WOW!
>> WHEN THINGS GET THIS COLD.
>> HOW COOL IS THAT?
>> WE HAVE ALSO HOT WATER IN
HERE AND WE ADD SOME LIQUID
NITROGEN.
WE'RE GOING FREEZE THAT WATER
VAPOR.
SO THIS LOOKS LIKE WHAT?
WHAT DOES THAT REMIND YOU OF?
>> LIKE A WITCH'S BREW.
>> WITCH'S BREW.
THIS IS ACTUALLY CLOUDS.
THIS IS THE SAME STUFF THAT
CLOUDS -- THESE ARE TINY, TINY
ICE CRYSTALS.
>> THAT'S SO COOL!
>> ISN'T IT?
>> WOW.
>> I'M GOING TO POUR A LITTLE
BIT INTO THIS BOWL HERE, BECAUSE
BEEN, WE'RE TALKING THINGS ARE
REALLY, REALLY COLD.
AND WHEN THINGS GET THIS COLD,
THEY START TO BEHAVE
DIFFERENTLY.
FOR EXAMPLE, IF I TAKE A LITTLE
PARSLEY HERE, AND I DIP IT IN,
YOU NOTICE I'M WEARING GLOVES --
>> PARSLEY.
>> THE MOST EVIL OF ALL EARTHS
BECAUSE IT'S GREEN.
>> NO, WE LOVE PARSLEY.
>> WE LOVE PARSLEY.
BUT IF WE JUST DIP IT IN HERE.
PARSLEY IS PLANT.
THAT MEANS IT HAS A LOT OF WATER
IN IT.
SO IT WILL --
>> WHOA!
>> THAT'S COOL!
>> NOW, GUMMY WORMS --
>> NOW, THEY'RE BENDABLE, RIGHT?
>> VERY FLEXIBLE.
AND I'M GOING TO KEEP MY FINGERS
FAR AWAY FROM THIS, BECAUSE IT'S
HALLOWEEN TIME, WE GOT TO SPEND
A COUPLE WORMS HERE.
SO WE FREEZE THAT IN HERE.
AND AGAIN, WE HAVE NICE FLEXIBLE
WORMS.
WE HAVE A LOT SO WE CAN DO A
COMPARISON CHECK.
>> WOW.
>> AND THESE WILL ACTUALLY SNAP.
>> SNAP RIGHT IN HALF.
>> AND THEN OF COURSE, WE HAVE A
LITTLE BROCCOLI HERE, THE MOST
EVIL OF ALL VEGETABLES.
WE'RE GOING TO PUT IN THERE AND
WE'LL GET BACK TO THAT.
>> YOU GO GUMMY WORMS AND JOLLY
RANCHER.
>> WHO LIKES BROCCOLI?
>> ME.
>> NOT IN MY KITCHEN.
>> BECAUSE YOU FREEZE IT ALL THE
TIME.
>> AND THEN --
>> WOW!
>> FROZENOKLY.
-- FROZEN BROCCOLI.
YOU WANT FRESH BROCCOLI, NOT
FROZEN.
>> WHEN YOU STICK SOMETHING IN
LIQUID NITROGEN.
>> IT FREEZES VERY, VERY
QUICKLY, BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT STUFF THAT IS NEGATIVE
221.
SO ALL THAT WATER FREEZES LIKE
THAT.
SO ALL THE CELLS THAT MAKE THIS
UP, AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE
FROST WORMING.
WE HAVE SO MUCH HUMIDITY IN THE
AIR, LOVELY HOUSTON, THAT YOU
GET FROST FORMING ON THE
OUTSIDE.
THIS IS VERY FROZEN.
BUT THAT ALLOWS US TO DO ONE
MORE RAUL COLORADO THING.
>> I'VE NOTICED YOU'RE WEARING
SAFETY GOGGLES.
>> I AM.
>> WHERE ARE OURS?
>> ALL OF OURS?
>> WE'RE FINE.
TOTALLY REPLACEABLE.
IT WILL WORK OUT.
>> SO WE'RE GOING TO ADD A
LITTLE LIQUID NITROGEN.
WE'RE GOING TO MAKE ICE CREAM.
THIS IS MY LIQUID -- MY SPECIAL
MIX.
IT'S MOSTLY MILK, HEAVY CREAM,
SUGAR, GOT ALSO VANILLA, A
LITTLE MINT AND CHOCOLATE CHIPS
BECAUSE YOU CAN'T HAVE MINT
CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM WITHOUT
CHIPS.
TO MAKE ICE CREAM USUALLY TAKES
A FEW HOURS OF CHURNING BECAUSE
IF YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE ICE
CREAM, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LOT OF
AIR AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LOT
OF COLD.
BUT WONDERS OF LIQUID
NITROGEN --
>> WOW.
>> THE KIDS ARE LOVING THIS.
>> I KNOW.
>> THIS IS THE BEST PART.
THE NITROGEN ITSELF IS ALMOST
80% OF OUR ATMOSPHERE.
SO WE'VE GOT A LOT OF AIR IN
THERE.
AND THEN WE ADD IN EVERYTHING
ELSE.
AND JUST LIKE THAT, YOU CAN, IN
THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT WOULD TAKE
ME TO EXPLAIN, YOU SHOULD GO TO
THE MUSEUM OF HOUSTON, THIS WEEK
FROM 4:00 TO 6:00.
SATURDAY EVERY DAY, EVERY HOUR,
FROM 10:00 TO 6:00, NOON TO 6:00
AND THEN OPENING SPECIAL ON
HALLOWEEN FROM 3:00 TO 8:00 P.M.
AND WE'VE GOT A MONSTER MASH
BASH.
>> THAT SOUNDS LIKE FUN!
>> YOU CAN DANCE WITH US AND ALL
SORT OF COOL ACTIVITIES.
AND JUST LIKE THAT, WE HAVE --
>> ICE CREAM!
>> WOW, WHO WANTS TO TRY SOME?
>> THAT BIG SCOO
[LAUGHTER]
>> ADD SOME BROCCOLI IN IT.
>> NO, WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE
BROCCOLI IN OUR ICE CREAM.
>> THAT'S VERY ICY I CREAM.
>> TELL US ABOUT THE HALLOWEEN
MONSTER MAYHEM.
SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE A LOT OF
STUFF GOING ON.
>> SO WE'VE GOT THIS GUY BEHIND
ME WHO FORTUNATELY IS NOT A
FIGMENT OF MY MANUALS.
BUT WE GOT MO.
HIS OWN MONSTER MASH BASH.
SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE MO COMES
OUT AND YOU WANT TO COME OUT AND
DANCE WITH MO.
WE'VE GOT SOME.
GOOD ACTIVITIES GOING ON.
-- SOME REALLY COOL ACTIVITIES
GOING ON.
>> YOU HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE
WAITING FOR ICE CREAM.
>> WE HAVE TRICK OR
TRICK-OR-TREATING EVERY DAY.
