MAN 1 [ON TV] :

You push it in, you slide the food in.

It pops right out, okay?

I'm gonna take this device.

I've done it 3 times already, inside.

I'm gonna show the folks

how to put it on the spit rod.

It's so darn easy.

I take the meat, and all I'm gonna do

is just center it like this.

It goes down.

I'll put the wheel on.

It's as simple as this.

This is about a 7-pound

pork loin roast.

I'll put it in the machine, I'll slide it back,

put up the window.

- You set it, and...?

AUDIENCE:
Forget it!

MAN 1:
Right. I'm gonna go over

to the pork loin roast over here now...

and I'm gonna take this one out.

This has been done--

Nothing.

The septic tank is acting up.

I'm sorry, Em. Wait, wait. Not yet.
