Pawn Stars

Chum follows his gut instinct and forgoes expert advice while acquiring a hazardous purchase, trusting his own judgement. At the same time, Rick takes a close look at a 1965 service medal that was issued for the Panama Canal, assessing its details.

Crossing Chum is an episode‑style programme that follows the titular character through a series of unusual encounters. The show presents each segment as a self‑contained vignette, allowing viewers to see how Chum navigates the odd situations he stumbles into. Its format keeps the focus tightly on the immediate actions of the characters. In this instalment, Chum decides to rely on his own instincts rather than seeking advice from a specialist when he purchases a high‑risk item. By trusting his gut feeling, he bypasses the usual precaution of consulting an expert, opting instead to go ahead based solely on his personal judgement in the end. Meanwhile, Rick turns his attention to a historical artefact: a service medal dated 1965 that originated from the Panama Canal. He examines the piece closely, taking note of its age and provenance. The focus remains on his inspection of the medal and the details that can be gleaned from its appearance. The episode juxtaposes Chum's intuitive gamble with Rick's methodical scrutiny of the Panama Canal medal. Both moments highlight contrasting approaches to dealing with uncertainty—one driven by instinct, the other by careful observation. Together they form the core of the episode’s narrative, in this particular scene, illustrating the varied ways the characters handle potentially risky situations.
