- That is the coolest thing ever!
- (upbeat music)
- Good morning, everyone.
- Today we're in Chicago!
- And we're super excited 'cause today
we're going to the Museum of Science and Industry.
(upbeat music)
- There's a ball and it goes down and does stuff.
- We found the coolest plant!
Yeah, come on, let's go.
- Wow. - Isn't this awesome?
- [Bailey] Yeah!
- Where are we?
- [Jessica] I don't even know, we're back in time!
- Isn't this cool?
It looks like you're outside but you're actually inside.
This is inside the museum.
See, there's the roof, but if you look down here,
it's like we're back in time on the road.
How do you it would feel to ride in a cart on those roads?
- [Jacob and Parker] Bumpy.
- Pretty bumpy?
Probably pretty bumpy.
- (energetic music)
- (calm music)
- [Bailey] (gasps) It's coming, it's coming!
(chatter)
It's almost there!
(gasps) It's almost there!
Look, look!
(family cheering)
(children shouting)
- Baby chicks were so cute.
I really loved them and they were really cute.
I saw them hatch from their eggs and it was really cute
and I saw one walk its first steps.
- Are you gonna figure out the maze?
Are you gonna figure out how to go through it?
We're about to go through a number mirror maze.
- And Parker's feeling a little uneasy.
- [Chris] He's feeling uneasy?
- Yeah.
- [Chris] What's wrong?
- I'm scared.
- [Chris] Oh, don't be scared.
We're just gonna walk through this thing.
It's no big deal.
- Bailey's the most excited ever
and wants to do it all by herself.
(mystical orchestral music)
- What do you think of this, Duncan?
Do you know the right way?
You don't know?
You don't know the right way!
We've lost Bailey and Jacob
and we have no idea where they are.
We've found you!
(Bailey groans)
Do you know how to get outta here?
- No!
- [Jessica] Can you find your way out, buddy?
No? (laughs)
Little noggins.
Hey!
- Yes, we made it!
- [Jessica] You made it!
- Parker! (Parker shouting)
Oh, I guess he liked it.
What are you so excited about?
- Going on the boat.
- [Chris] You're excited about going on the boat?
What kind of boat is it?
- It's...
It's a real boat!
It's from, uh...
What was that called?
- [Parker and Chris] World War II.
- [Chris] Yeah, good job.
- And it's super tiny!
(adventurous music)
- [Chris] Is it bigger than you expected?
- Yeah.
- [Parker] Yeah!
- [Chris] It's bigger than you expected?
- Yeah!
I thought it was gonna be in the water.
- [Chris] It used to be in the water
but then they put it in here.
They actually brought it in here and then--
- How did they bring it in here?
- [Jessica] How did they bring it in here?
- [Chris] I heard that they parked it here
and this was all outside
and then they built all this around it
so that it would be inside and protected in the museum.
- But how do they put it in the museum?
- They didn't put it in the museum.
They put the museum around it.
This U-boat was captured in 1944 by the American Navy
and in it were a bunch of secrets.
That means that the Allies got a bunch of secrets
that the Germans didn't know that they had
which helped them stay a step ahead
and ultimately win the war.
- That is the coolest thing ever!
- [Chris] You wanna go inside it?
- Yeah, yeah!
- [Guide] This is where a little bit
higher ranking then would sleep.
They had the privilege of their own bunk
and a little privacy curtain.
- Don't really fit in a German U-boat.
- [Guide] That is a very tiny kitchen over there.
- Is that how you would get on?
- [Chris] Yeah.
- [Guide] This is where you'd always have someone listening
with hydrophones for sounds underwater.
Captain slept there.
He was very tall and so he'd have to sleep
with his boots hanging over the side of that.
So if you guys would like to see what this is like...
Just wanna be careful not to get with that handle.
The two positions here would be for the plainsmen.
Controller the boat in a downward spiral
and if they reach 755 feet they would have been crushed.
So the captain ordered them back to the surface,
then some of his men went outside
and saw that they were completely surrounded
by the five American destroyers and an aircraft carrier.
(engines running)
(classical music)
- [Chris] These machines were used to send secret codes,
secret messages back and forth
and you couldn't read the message
unless you had a machine that matched the other machine
and so what they did was once they got one of these
off of the boat, they used it to figure out
what the Germans' plans were
'cause they could hear the radio signals.
They could hear the messages but they were all jumbled up,
they didn't make any sense and so they found out
that if you take out one of these wheels and you put it in
and you type in the code, it'll spit out the message,
the secret message.
- That's really cool.
- But where's the secret?
- [Chris] It would be like, "Okay, we're gonna attack
this city at this time."
So then all the German forces could figure out
where they were gonna be and to be there, they could plan,
but since we had one, we could hear what their plans were
before they happen and we could be ready for them.
This machine here was found inside the U-boat
along with 900 pounds of codebooks.
(piano riff)
- Okay, so Duncan very seriously went to the bathroom,
very seriously.
Anyway, we're gonna need to go track down a store
where we can buy clothes for him
and I don't know, we're gonna have to burn his stroller
or something but looking for the store.
(playful music)
- [Chris] Did you get a new outfit?
Aw, I like it.
Are you a train conductor?
Are you looking for trains?
Where's your hat?
Can you put your hat on?
Put your hat on.
And now presenting the circus clowns!
Horatio, the pouty,
(Jacob laughs)
Jacob, the Headless,
Max, the Whimsy,
Parker, the Bewildered,
Sam, the Unamused,
and Bailey, the Silly.
- They made it look like night-time.
- [Boy] Where's Dun?
There he is!
(Duncan laughs)
Where he is?
There he is!
Where is, there he is!
- [Girl] Mommy, I wanted to tell you to go, where it is?
"There he is!" - Where it is?
There he is!
Where it is?
Dun!
There he is!
Where it is?
Dun!
There he is!
- [Chris] Did you have fun today?
- Yeah, I was a little scared at the mirror maze.
- [Chris] At the mirror maze?
- Yeah. - [Chris] But then you had fun
with it, right?
- Well, yeah and then I was scared.
- Oh, I see.
We had so much fun at the museum today.
Thanks for joining us and we'll see you next time.
(Duncan laughs)
- We are at Lou Malnati's in Chicago
trying our first deep-dish pizza.
Yeah yo!
Worth all the effort?
Do you like thin or deep-dish better?
Chicago or New York?
- [Chris] No, don't do that
Don't do that! (Jessica laughs)
