Starting point is 00:02:30 and at TikTok podcast network on TikTok. Which, are we rolling right now? Yes. Okay, before. Oz. Yeah, of course. Let me do one thing. Let me make sure I'm danded here.
Starting point is 00:02:44 What does the name? Do not disturb. I just feel like he's up to someone. I just feel like he's up to something. Let me just paint a picture real quick. So is it, there's a lot of speculation on your name. Is it owes or Oz?
Starting point is 00:02:55 Dude, blame my parents. It's like somebody owes you money. That's cool. So it's not a stage name. It's not like I made this. this thing up. It's Israeli. So it's in Israel, if you ask somebody their name, it's Oz. And so that's how my parents kind of like said, that's how we're going to say it here.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Gotcha. Now, I should have been Oz. Should be Oz. If you say it that way, you're right, I'm wrong. Blame my folks. Do you hate when people think you're Dr. Oz? No. I'll get paid like that. Dr. Oz. I actually know Dr. Oz really well. Do you? We've talked about how he's like, it's like, I'm the OG version. I'm like, I'm the new version. Yeah. I've done gigs where I get brought up and people think I'm going to be Dr. Oz because they wrote my name is Dr. Oz and I present. I'm like, I'm not Dr. Oz. There's no PhD.
Starting point is 00:03:32 You have no PhD behind your name? No. You said you brought up making as much money as him. You were in Wall Street for a little bit, right? That's true. And I'm sure this gift you have probably helped you out quite a bit. Is that cheating? Is that technically?
Starting point is 00:03:45 Are you in the IRS? No, I'm kidding. This guy, SEC, are you wearing a wire? You're wearing a wire, Taylor? See it? When you have gifts like this, it's like, why do you live Wall Street? It definitely is useful. It's very good for negotiations.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Negotiating real estate. People are like, ah, he won't go any higher. I'm like, he will. really how how do you secrets i feel like that's too vague so far i think such an early vague question no but you you truly are because he clearly reads people yeah you're one of what am i thinking right now that i'm full of crap and that you're scared and that you're not wearing underwear when you walked in so when we set this whole thing up of you coming on we were obviously very
Starting point is 00:04:18 excited will's a big big magic fan when i don't know if magic is a district it's kind of like magic it's like a version it's a subset of magic got you it's not like supernatural i don't pretend to be psychic or have like, you know, superhero powers. Yeah. This is a learnable skill. But the same way that I'm never playing linebacker, you know what I'm saying? Like, I'm not built for it. Certain people aren't built to be good at this.
Starting point is 00:04:40 They can learn a trick or two, but they're never going to advance beyond a certain ceiling. I have a knack for this that I've kind of been working on for like 25 years. When did you discover that this was a possibility? Like for me, yeah. I never even knew you could become a mentalist. I didn't know. I thought that was like some Houdini stuff. Like you go and you see these shows and people.
Starting point is 00:04:57 people are incredible. It's like, oh, they must just been born with that. Right. When were you like, I have this ability to learn this skill? So I started with magic. So when you think of magic tricks, you think slight a hand, right? Like card tricks, how do you do those moves? And you know there's a trick. When some dude cuts a woman in half in a box, you know that's not really her getting cut in half, right? You know, it's like an illusion. So the same thing applies. I started doing this when I was a teenager, learning how to kind of manipulate people's minds. And with magic, you're doing slight a hand. I'm tricking your eyes, right? My hands move it.
Starting point is 00:05:27 in such a way that I'm deceiving your eyes. What mentalism is, is I start to just skip the props. I am able to just think of how you think and not need the cards or the props. Does that make sense? Yeah, it makes sense, but how do you, sorry. How did I learn it? No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:05:43 If you're using cards, you're now in control of the entire situation. But if you're meeting me for the first time, which we have met for the first time. Just now. How do you know the way I think? Well, I could have looked you up. I could, once I meet you.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Also, it's a chicken or egg question, which is you think, how do I think, but I think how do I guide you to go where I want you to go? True manipulation. If you could quantify into a few skills of what it would take to be in a position that you're in, like what would those skills be? Like when you're a teenager, when you're going through Wall Street, you mentioned negotiation, that's a skill.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Like body language, like, what skills would you quantify in your line of work? One of my great skills was not being able to pick up any girls. So at age 14, this became a very handy skill. I was like, what can I use to accentuate my four-foot shrimp frame? and I'm like, I'm not a good singer, but girls love magic tricks. So that was one good thing. I also like just getting attention and learning how there's that, that, I mean, you had a comedian here yesterday.
Starting point is 00:06:37 We're talking about Samaril, amazing. I don't want to timestamp this, but like great comedians, man, that feeling with the audience where you get instant responses, right? Like a movie star, you make a movie two years later, you see the movie in a theater. With what I do, I'm getting that feedback from the audience every second. Like I came right from a corporate event. I would not have normally dressed in suit and tie. And in the corporate event, I never know what's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:06:58 I'm getting a feel from the audience. It's very exciting because you don't know what's going to happen every time. It's not, I don't just phone it in. I try to kind of do things that I'm not sure if they'll work. He seems like he seems like he be very good at the game, Werewolf. Yeah. Familiar?
Starting point is 00:07:12 No. Have you played a game called Mafia? Oh, a mafia? It's like a group saying like a game night situation where people are dished out cards. And the idea is to identify who the bad guys are with a group of good guys and try to kill off those people. People are trying to lie and do all this stuff. It's a big man. Yeah, it would be fun with that.
Starting point is 00:07:27 It would be awful for everybody else. We should get a game in though. We should have to get a game. We, yeah. I might have a deck of cards. I might have a card set in my backpack. We've been looking for a deck of cards for an hour. Now we got a little card set the werewolf game.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Yeah. We'll have to hit it after. Let's check that out. That should be so much fun for all of us to play one game of werewolf. Let's go. So where'd you grow up? I grew up in Michigan. You grew up in Michigan.
Starting point is 00:07:47 You grew up in Michigan. You went to Farmington Hills, so North Farmington High School. Got you. And then went from there in state to Ann Arbor. Was there ever a different choice? I didn't get into two other schools. Okay, that's not what I wanted to hear. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:59 So I wanted to hear that was the only choice for you. It should have been my only choice. But I think even if I had gotten in, I wouldn't have gone to those schools. And you did engineering? I did electro engineering. Electrical engineering. And from there, you went to Wall Street. Merrill Lynch.
Starting point is 00:08:11 So what was the transition there for you in college going to engineering? I'm sure there's a passion behind that and then ending up on Wall Street and Merrill Lynch. Oh, blue. I kind of didn't know what I wanted to do. So I wouldn't say fell into a path, but I was very good at math. So I've always been really good at math since I was a kid, kind of like a almost a math genius. And so math came easily. It's not that I love math.
Starting point is 00:08:34 I was really good at it. So it's kind of a lucky blessing. So I could do math very easily. So when I started doing computer engineering, I hated it, just not for me. And at that point, my sophomore year, I'm like, what can I switch into without losing all my credits? So again, not the sexiest thing, but I'm like, I can do electrical engineering. And I liked it. And it was kind of interesting.
Starting point is 00:08:52 And it seemed like it'd be a good potential for the future for getting a job, which it was. But it was not my passion. This was not like my trajectory. And if you ask my wife right now, she'll be like, he can't even change a light bulb. Really? Yeah. Getting into mentalism, what was like the first experience that you had like in college or Wallier or whatever would be like, hey, I'm going to start to carve out a lane.
Starting point is 00:09:11 So I was doing this. This was my side hustle because I graduated high school when I was 16. My folks had gotten divorced. They moved back to Israel. So I, and I was kind of out with my dad and stuff. It was like pretty messy situation, but I had to pay for all of my schooling myself. So I had to, when you asked me like why, it was like necessity is the mother of all invention. I was doing magic shows to pay my tuition and then I had another business.
Starting point is 00:09:33 But I was like my side hustle became my real hustle where at Michigan I was performing. There was a place called BD's Mongolian barbecue. Do you remember that one? Yep. And so it's gone now, RIP, but I used to perform there every Friday for all the time I was at college. Like a lot of people who were my years would have seen me. And then I'm doing all different events. I'm doing birthday parties.
Starting point is 00:09:52 I'm trying to pay tuition. I was doing this the whole time, always hustling. You're working 24-7. I was working somewhat. I had like a side business in the summer. Me and a buddy installed and removed boat docks. Wolverine Spartan boat dock company. He went to Michigan State.
Starting point is 00:10:08 We cornered the market. Yeah. Everybody wanted, we knocked on their door. They're like, who's the Wolverine? Who's the Spartan? They're like, I'm not doing business with him. And he's like, yeah, screw this guy. So we had a very fun dynamic there.
Starting point is 00:10:17 but I was always doing this, but not with the trajectory of, oh, this will be my profession, more because I had to, and then later, I don't call it later in life, but in my 20s, when I quit my job, I decided to go after it and see if I could do this full time. What was your first breakthrough moment? It's hard to say. I mean, my big breakthrough was I was on a show called America's Got Talent. I got third place on there, and that just, like, juiced up my whole career, that rocket fuel. And then since then, there's been some big things since, you know, I kept it going.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Who are the other two sons of bitches that took you down? I know, dead to me. No, they were great. Honestly, that show, like, I say this fully and I'm a competitive SOB. Like, I like to win in general. I don't mind that I not win that show. I don't even know if winning that show helps your career more than if you, it's all how you use it. Right?
Starting point is 00:11:05 Like, you both play football. Look what you're doing now. Certain things equip you for the future in a different way. If you win that show, the contract is much more like it kind of owns you for a few years. Really? Well, yeah, it's a different thing than if you just use the show and use it as a launchback. What do you mean by ONG for a few years? You just, you have to contract your obligations.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Okay. Right? So, like, you got to do stuff for the show. I'm not saying anything bad, but if you win, you have a lot more responsibilities going forward that if you're a singer might be great. If you're like a different, I'm a variety act. So I have a very different business model than somebody who goes and sells out theaters. Okay. It's almost it almost feels like you could have a really good performance on Shark Tank and leave with nothing.
Starting point is 00:11:44 But then your phone's blowing up. brother opportunities outside of it. Totally. Or some people don't get a deal on Shark Tank and then they're a billion dollar company. Yeah. I mean, that's happened a few times. Yeah. No doubt. So you go from Michigan, you go to Wall Street. Yep. While you're at Wall Street, obviously, this is helping you helping you out quite a bit. When did you go Wall Street to America's Got Talent? What was it? Ten years later. Ten years to be an overnight success. You stopped doing Wall Street and then 10 years after that. Really? What'd you do in the meantime? Just made money. Just like getting in those reps, like doing
Starting point is 00:12:13 barn bat mitzvahs birthday parties you know bridal showers i was like mr bridal shower for like six years every sunday afternoon i'm hitting bridal showers 14 year old you is fired up finally got it in with the ladies that's not bad i had just a couple years of being single between college sweetheart and current wife uh and well my only wife there's not that sounded weird yes that was going to be the next question honey uh no uh wife four kids very happy a very busy home life but um Yeah, I guess that was the only time where actually between all of those times, I was just the ultimate wingman. My friends would just use me. It wasn't even like a pretend.
Starting point is 00:12:50 They'd be like, quick, do some stuff to her and then leave. I'm like, what? So I'd be the guy because I could just go up to any group and just, you know, I know what you're thinking. I know your ATM pin code and now meet my friends. And they're like, yes. And then you just ninja smoking your eyes. Just like boom, you nailed it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:04 You bring up your one of four wives. Like in these conversations, when you get into argument with your one of one wife. Yes. When you get into argument, like that's got to be an unfair. battle. It's an unfair battle because she's a woman. She's smarter and wiser in every regard. So I'm always wrong no matter what. So it's still the same plane. He's still the same plane, baby. He's quick. Very quick. Cools apply. Does she, is there ever like a manipulation within the house? And I don't
Starting point is 00:13:28 say manipulation in a bad way. I literally just telling her yesterday this joke and this trick that I thought was so great. And she's like, yeah, just tell your magician buddies. Like, she is not, she is not the good sounding board. No offense. She's amazing and everything else. But she's so over mentalism and magic. Yeah, she's done with it. She's been around 15 years. She's like, I'm over it. What was the experience like on Wall Street? You hear, you know, you hear the stories not ever being on Wall Street. Cutthroat, the types of people you mean.
Starting point is 00:13:50 You watched the movie Wolf of Wall Street once and you think that's how it is for everybody. To me, you did a lot of cocaine and owned a yacht. And jerked off a lot. All, everything had been so far. Matthew McConaughey was your. There were quailudes, even though it was in the 2000s. They were, you know, banned. But no, that's a topical joke.
Starting point is 00:14:05 You need to know your history. No question. But I didn't mind my job. So I wasn't in like a situation of every day I'm punching the clock and miserable. I just simply knew, and I think a lot of people that might listen to this or in that position of this isn't my future. Like, do you know what I mean? This is a stepping stone where I wasn't going to climb the corporate ladder. And it took time for me to end up believing in myself that I could quit because, you know, you're getting a paycheck.
Starting point is 00:14:27 Things are good. It's very hard to tiptoe out of it. A lot of people, once you get into a lane, you just get that structure and it's very easy to stay in it. And even if it's miserable, if you can kind of coast. So for me, it was mostly, it took some bravery and some realizations and a few moments that were like kind of, whoa. aha moments to decide I'm going to quit my job and go for it. What gig did you have at Wall Street? So I wasn't really, I was, I supported the investment bankers.
Starting point is 00:14:51 So I worked in tech because I was an engineer, but I would create like the apps. Honestly, what I was was a pain in the ass for the people who I worked with were internally after 9-11, they made data centers that were like mirror images so that they can never have another 9-11 and destroy like the infrastructure of our country. So they would have to have these things called contingency recovery centers. a little bit boring. So when some really smart 45-year-old engineer would be like, I need all of these servers and to spend $10 million,
Starting point is 00:15:18 me, some 22-year-old idiot twerp was like, we can give you $3 million. Everyone in my company hated me who I worked with. I was like a punching bag of bureaucracy. So when we would then go out to happy hours, they'd be like, oh my God, that's the kid who I hate on the phone. And I do magic tricks. And they're like, ah, you're not so bad, bro.
Starting point is 00:15:33 And so it was a great way to win people over and create kind of camaraderie amongst people that otherwise would not have liked me. because I was like a project manager and that built up where I started doing shows within the company higher and higher level shows where they'd hire me to the point
Starting point is 00:15:49 where at one point the CFO of the company who's like my boss is boss is 20 leagues up had me doing stuff for him and I did a magic trick where I turned a dollar into a $100 bill and he goes oh it's like dude we got to get you working here and I'm like I do work here and he's like I thought I was joking I'm like no seriously I work at 95 Green Street
Starting point is 00:16:04 and this guy looked at me and it's a flippant remark and he goes what are you doing working here that for him was like he doesn't even remember it and for me it changed my life. Yeah. About a month later I quit. I'm like, what am I doing working here? What year was the year you quit?
Starting point is 00:16:16 2005. 2005, three years before the big crash. Yep. You knew. Timing, man, everything in life. Was there anything? I just watched the big short. Were you able to anticipate that?
Starting point is 00:16:25 Yeah, I just watched a big short a couple of days, a couple of days ago. And it is a very interesting, great movie. The guy who's the, but in 2005 is essentially when they started to figure out. Dude, I knew it full on. It's like certain Ponzi schemes. Like the Wii work, I knew about that one way early, but it was, what of my friends was Merrill Lynch guy who was trading derivatives and CDOs, these collateralized debt obligations and explaining it to me. And I'm like, this is total. Like, right now,
Starting point is 00:16:50 I know for a fact, this is going downhill at some point. So really? You actually knew. I mean, I knew what's something to look out for currently? Um, I'd be buying Bitcoin still. I still am very bullish on Bitcoin. Really? Yes. What's a, uh, what's a, uh, it scares me. I think in 10 years, you'll be happy you did, but yeah. What, uh, what company out there in the stock market? Bitcoin. He's just casually. You'll be really sad you didn't. Taylor's like on his phone out and he's on Coinbase or Gemini.

Starting point is 00:22:33 What... Just the edges. We were talking before this. We didn't really talk about how this whole situation came up. We were obviously very excited to have you on. And we didn't know what to expect. We know you, obviously, you've been doing a big act for a long time. So you're going to come here and talk a whole bunch.
Starting point is 00:22:48 When you walked into the room, it took you five seconds to start playing with our heads. Start sizing everybody up. Sizing everybody up. You had Will do a few things. You had me write down a card and a question. And then I actually ripped it up and put it in two separate pockets. Nice. You're messing with my boy Jackie over here in the corner.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Anybody else? Everybody. Get ozed? No, nobody's been ozed yet. Yeah. We're just planting. You've already done it because you've come in with such a presence. You self-deprecating.
Starting point is 00:23:15 I shouldn't be wearing a suit. Ha-ha. This is big dummy. And then all of a sudden, you're just coming at us like of seven layers of smoke. Right. And it's very like nerve-wracking. It's very nerve-wracking.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Do you get that a lot with when you go to these like different NFL places, these colleges and do these kinds of things? What's funny is, season one was very funny because nobody really knew who I was. So the first season we went in. Big shout out to ESPN and my boy Adam Schaefter, who helped put all of this together initially. And then now it's gotten momentum where I think the teams see the value. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:44 So, and you could speak to it yourself, but in a lot of these settings, there's more and more shows now like quarterback, receiver, like a lot of these shows that highlight some of the players, but you get to see who they really are. You know, we take the helmet off and not outside of press interviews and stuff. And I think you get to see them act like real people. Like Micah Parsons right here, great moment where he gets to just be,
Starting point is 00:24:03 we're watching this on video. So it just popped up. But like, you get to see them at like kids again. Yeah. And I think for fans, that's an amazing thing. Like Joe Burrow, you don't really get the real Joe Burrow. I got him smiling, laughing, freaking out. Like, those moments are, I think, very good for the team and for the fans.
Starting point is 00:24:18 And so they've seen a value in it. So season one, we did it. None of the teams knew what was going on. I had to win them over. When we came back last season, I mean, every single room we went into, like, dude, we know you. We know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Well, fired up and slightly nervous. But also just, you know, you come in with that exact mentality of either total skepticism or you're bought in or you're on the fence and my job is to kind of make you a believer or make it make it fun and it's perfect timing too in the in the middle of training camp it's like you have somebody like owes come in in the middle of training camp like that is a dog day yeah you want to boost morale and a lot of these guys don't know they're on edge you know it's the start of a season you don't know if you're playing if you're not you know number one in the depth chart and you don't know people and you want to create that cohesion in the
Starting point is 00:24:58 room yeah the joe burrow one is my favorite the joe burrow one is i remember texting uh David Bactiari immediately, like when you did the Packers and just being like, bro, how real, like, this had to be some theatrics in there. The coach asked Jordan Love when Aaron Jones stood up in the middle of my show and asked me a question. He's like, I got a question for you, buddy. I was like, okay, what do you got?
Starting point is 00:25:18 Yeah, the Matt Lafleur was great. The Packers were awesome. Yeah. Really good, really down-to-earth team. You talk about the two different crowds, like one crowd you're walking into to win them over. Now you're walking into crowds that they already know who are and they expect you to perform at a super high level.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Right. From a mental standpoint for you, like nervousness, you seem like you've done the 10,000 hours, like you're the outlier in your craft. What's more nerve-wracking for you? earning the crowd's trust or having to deliver for the crowd that expects so much out of you? I think it's upping the ante every time, right? You can't like, you can't hit status quo. You can't like just, oh, you were better last time. No, I want to, I'm doing grand slam home runs.
Starting point is 00:25:56 Like this season, I'm going to try and up the ante where it's even crazier things than I've done before, just things that are going to blow your mind. and that are unexpected, like twists and turns, kind of take mentalism to another level. How do you figure out how to up the any? Like at times, are you ever just exhausted or kind of over being the mentalist guy? You remember who are any? Every room you walk into, it's like, hey, do something.
Starting point is 00:26:16 It's shockingly no, because I'm like Superman Clark Kent vibes. When I walk in in no suit, people don't even know who I am. Like, are you an accountant? The parents at my school, very rarely does anybody know my kid's school, and then they find out, like, seeing you. One guy who I'm on a WhatsApp group with, because we carpool, like, half a, Halfway through the school year goes, sends me a clip of me on Joe Burr.
Starting point is 00:26:35 He goes, I just got sent this by six years. Is this you? He's like, I thought you were just like a finance guy. He's like, is this really you? He's like, how do you do this? I can't tell you, bro. That is wild. What is the pinnacle for a mentalist?
Starting point is 00:26:45 Like what is the overall goal like at the end of the day? Like you're laying down, your loved ones are all around you. What is the major accomplishment that you want? Like in hindsight? And this and everything. I live in the dream. So right now I am like the high Marrower Market is here, but I'm competitive and ambitious. So I think just continuing to
Starting point is 00:27:02 up it where you're seeing this more and more like next year I've got a book coming out hopefully a TV show more stuff with NFL I think I've aligned myself with sports and finance because those are my interests and also those are things growing like live sports is the only thing growing on linear TV and streaming so that's where I like to be aligned with things that are interesting I like to get people fired up I think sports and what I do go hand in hand because it's exhilarating because you never know what's going to happen live you don't know like you see this clip right now that you're watching you in that room nobody knows how That's going to play out.
Starting point is 00:27:33 There's no way to know what's going to happen. It's not fake. You could call every one of these players, call Tom Brady. Tom Brady not know me before I walked in that room. What is your book going to cover? Like, are you going to give any kind of practical ideas? 100%. So it's how to apply my craft, how to apply the principles of mentalism to your everyday life.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Like at work, at home, in your relationships, how could you read people more effectively? How could your memory be stronger? All different ways that you can take my skills. And you're not going to be a mentalist probably tomorrow. you know, most people don't want to. If you wanted to learn, you can do that from a different book. But what are the skills I have that are transferable to you?
Starting point is 00:28:07 Like, how do you become memorable? How do you know if somebody's really lying to you or telling the truth? Like stuff like that is very useful. So it's a mass market book. It's not designed. What's something? Hold on this book come out.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Not next year. I'm going to have to give myself a copy of that. Signed copy. I don't have to probably come back on. Yeah, go blue, Taylor. No question.
Starting point is 00:28:26 What's something simple and practical that you could give? Well, a lot of the stuff that I give is not, We have to get into, like, to teach how to lie detect and things like that are going to take more time than what I can explain now. It's why it's like a chapter. But how to improve your memory is just one of the biggest ones that I can tell you, if you're in different lines of work where you meet somebody and you're had the feeling where three seconds after you meet them, you're like, I just totally forgot their name. And now you can't even have a conversation because you're just like, oh, God, what was her name? What was his name?
Starting point is 00:28:54 And you're just like, so I have a tried and true way to, for that in five minutes around never to happen again. So the key is you're not really hearing the name. You don't want to shampoo bottle, how it says lather, rinse, repeat. You know, those three instructions, every shampoo bottle. So I call it listen, repeat, reply. So most of the time when you're hearing somebody's name, simple trick, you're not hearing it. You're actually never taking it in. You're thinking about what you're going to say next or what you're having for dinner tonight or,
Starting point is 00:29:22 oh my God, my wife just called me and I'm forgetting this for the kids. You never heard their name. So if you can make your mind a total blank and either look them in the eyes, look them in the forehead, head like do a trick right when you look at them you're totally quiet and right when they say their name like what was it taylor do you spell that t a y l-or oh got it taylor if you can say their name three times within 10 seconds even just like that casual respeller say oh i got a buddy name taylor that's so funny great to me you taylor you will now remember that name three to 10 times more and then if you can even pay them a compliment be like taylor man love that western show hat
Starting point is 00:29:53 now in your head you attach taylor to the hat or you see what i'm saying you create a hook so it's listen, repeat, I repeat the name, and then a reply with something that connects the name. Three times within 10 seconds. Easy. To put you on the spot, are you able to recall everybody's name of the bed of the bus? Everyone that I've met.
Starting point is 00:30:09 So I haven't met everyone in there. So if I had met everybody 100% I'd know their names. But I've only met like, I met Jack, Steve. I haven't met everybody. Okay. Is the test, should we do this? Yeah, I know, right? Hard to remember.
Starting point is 00:30:22 It's all dudes with moustaches in a van. I told him I walked in. I'm like, are we shooting a porno? I don't know where I'm at right now. Yeah. Boys go with names. Obviously, Jack, who's next? Say your name out loud.
Starting point is 00:30:32 Garrett, two R's, two T's. Like the way this guy rolls. Garrett with double R, double T, power mustache. I'm Garrett. Power mustache. It's strong. He's got the best facial hair in the game. And behind, behind Garrett?
Starting point is 00:30:43 Mitch. Mitchell. But we're at the Mitch stage. Like that. We've broken through that ice, Mitch. See that? We got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Sherman. No way. Are you lying to me right now? You're sorry. It's my first name. Bro, that's my Starbucks name from now on. I'm walking up, I'm going, I'm Sherman. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Jared. Jared? Yeah. One R, one D. Yes. Best friend third grade kid named Jared. Spell with two R's and O and a D. Who does that to their child?
Starting point is 00:31:14 Okay, not as bad. Sorry to offend you. People do that. JP. JP. All right, I think we got everybody. Okay. Well, at the end of the episode.
Starting point is 00:31:21 What are you leaving? Yeah, yeah. We'll come back. We'll come back to that. Check out bus scenes to figure out if you got it all right. Right? If they move around, though, it's very jarring because they all look the same and they're in the dark.
Starting point is 00:31:30 I wish the camera could catch this. Except for Sherman. I'll remember him for the rest of my life. No question. Sherms dialed in, bro. I feel like this. Wait, wait, let this is a key moment. Jack, here, here, let's go over this.
Starting point is 00:31:43 Because I want to, Jack, I had met earlier for a brief moment, right? And if I, right now this is top of mind. So when I say top of mind is you heard those names, you know these people. And so I heard their names. But I want to dig deep where if I say right in this moment, Jack, right now, Think of one of your best friends. Can you do that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Right. That boom. How could I possibly know that? Are we an understanding? Yeah. Oh, yeah. But look over here. Will Compton is going, man, maybe he knew we'd be here.
Starting point is 00:32:11 Maybe he looked up the crew. Maybe if it's your best friend, he could have gone on Instagram and see you just tagged in a photo. There's all these ways. So I don't want the front of your mind. I don't want something that could have been looked up. So I'm going in the back of your head. Where you got an name in the back of your head that's picked absolutely at random.
Starting point is 00:32:24 And it's a guy. Is that right? Correct. And I want to make sure that everybody knows. that you have not written anything down, you have not said this a word to anybody, literally random as can be. You picked one person
Starting point is 00:32:35 that isn't even one of your best friends, I assume, and you got his name in the back of your head right this second. Is that right? Yes. Okay. Let's watch. Think, is it a first and last name, I'm assuming?
Starting point is 00:32:45 Yes. All right. This is not written down. This is nowhere. This is in his brain. Is that true? I want to make sure. For everybody watching,
Starting point is 00:32:51 I swear to God, this is random. I want you to count the number of letters in this person's name. just to yourself. Please don't use your fingers or something. Can we see him right now?
Starting point is 00:33:01 I don't know what the situation in the bus. I'm trying to read his body language just like you. Are people listening to this on a podcast a lot of the time? Spotify, Apple, YouTube, Rumble. I'm going to narrate what I'm thinking. So if you're not watching this and seeing this beautiful mustache and me in a suit, I'll tell you what's going on. So I watched Jack while he was thinking of this name when he thought of somebody in the front of mind and then changed his mind to somebody else, went to the back of his head and he's seen this guy. And I watched your eyes and it took you a little while to count, right?
Starting point is 00:33:26 If that name is quick, that name was. Doug or Ben, it would have been fast. But if it's Sherman, that's a struggle right there. That takes longer to count. And I watched your eyes and you went like this, and then you did it. You broke it into two pieces. And it felt like the two pieces were almost equal.
Starting point is 00:33:43 I watched you. Did it do, was it seven letters? Yeah. Yeah. No. Oh, eight. You just counted the second time and it's eight, isn't it? Eight actually.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Don't say, don't say, don't say it. Not saying anything. He was about to say six, but he counted seven. He miscounted the first time because two. Two of the letters are the same. And so he wasn't sure and they were at the end and it's an L, but you thought it was
Starting point is 00:34:02 one or two. Russell, is his name Russell? Okay. Is it Russell, Jack? He's off. Okay, so. Well, hold on, stop. Was that the guy you picked?
Starting point is 00:34:14 Was it Russell was the first guy you picked? Am I right? Incorrect, but I don't know how we go about this because I don't want to spoil anything else. Hold on, hold on. Don't tell me the other name. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:24 You looked at somebody and you changed and you went to the last one were you thinking of Russell? Was there a point at which you thought of Russell? Russell Smith, is that his last name too? No, but wait. Wait. Dude, hold on.
Starting point is 00:34:43 Oh my God. What the fuck is happening right now? Is Russell Smith the last person you talked to and you were thinking of? Show the camera. Show the camera. The first fucking name on the top of my contacts is Russell Smith. I'm not bullshitting. This is what was pulled up my phone earlier. This is the top contact on my contact. my phone. When he's telling you to scroll and stop? Yes. I haven't
Starting point is 00:35:06 touched it. It's Russell Smith. It's Russell Smith. And there's only one else. Now in your brain was that the end result or are you being like how did I miss this? I didn't miss anything. That's who he just told me he thought of. I don't even know what's
Starting point is 00:35:23 going on. I don't know who he changed his mind too. Because I said don't do your best friend. He thought of Russell Smith and then he said, I don't know this guy well enough so he was trying to think of someone else. But he knows that was who you're thinking of. That's why freaking out. Who the hell is Russell Smith? We can call him. He's a guy with him to college if I haven't talked to it like three years.
Starting point is 00:35:40 That is fucking wild. You know what? I told you if I, if we you asked me about magic, right? So magic here. Check these cards out. Yours. I don't know. Check them out. Are they mixed up? Are they shuffled up a little bit? Yeah. Shuffle them up. I don't want to mess around. Shuffle them up. Now here's the
Starting point is 00:35:58 expectation where a magic trick is if I say pick one out right now, right Will and then he picks one out and then he puts it back and then I find it. No, no, we're not. We're not doing that. Come on, that's below my pay grade. I love doing that though. It's good.
Starting point is 00:36:10 It's fun. I'm not knocking it, but I could do that. So I want to do something unexpected. Are they shuffled up? Are they mixed up? Yeah, they're your cards. Make sure. I'm kind of nervous.
Starting point is 00:36:20 I'm going to do. If you want, I don't care. They're not in some sort of order. Here, put them down on table somewhere and push down and kind of like spread them out a little bit. Everybody should be watching on YouTube and subscribe. And this is all you. He's got a deck card, subscribe, and he shuffled them up. It's your cards.
Starting point is 00:36:35 And what I want you do is take. and and you're not going to look but you're going to move your finger across and whenever you get an urge you you like stop on one okay okay like kind of go across and it's got nothing do with me if you feel good about it you stop on one and it's got to feel right to you you got one i don't where it is i don't you take this card what i want you just take it bring close to you i want to see it i want to see very close to you make sure make sure it's here we can't see it just for you oh you got it yeah do you know what it is will yes do you have a pocket or somewhere you could sneak it to or there's just no way we could see.
Starting point is 00:37:07 Yeah. And then cheeks. Okay. Now, yours, I'm not going to hang a deck of cards. You know, you get a special deck of cards, special when I told you about this. It's an invisible deck of cards. Grab it. And shuffle it up.
Starting point is 00:37:21 Right? Look at the acting. Even though you know what? Shuffling doesn't matter, right? You know what I'm saying? So, shuffle them up. Look at that. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:37:29 That wrist action. Okay. Stop. And now you take, and this is what's funny, right? I told you that this deck of cards is. special. It's unique because shelf on doesn't matter. It's invisible. But they're all, and I want you to just reach in the middle and just grab one out and look at it because that's your card, right? You could have grabbed the top one, the middle, and the bottom. It didn't matter,
Starting point is 00:37:48 did it? Now, this is what's different. There is no way in the world that it could all know what it is. I forgot to tell you, here, I'm going to try to read your mind, but you didn't even know this, is that my goal was for you to read my mind. Okay. This is the weirdest thing. So I want I want to show it to read that. And I'm going to fold that up. So this is not reading your mind. I'm just to let you know. Can you show the camera again?
Starting point is 00:38:16 Yeah. But, oh, I don't want you to see it. Got it. Okay. I should have done before you even did it because that's the card. I'm thinking about one card. You got that card?
Starting point is 00:38:31 Right here. Yeah, not in the pocket. It's right there. Imagine it in your hand. And I want you to just close your eyes. My heart rates at 91. Think red black. Hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Shuffled them up. It's not even a real deck It's invisible Keep your eyes closed Lean forward for me a little bit Taylor lean forward for me a little bit Keep that mic in front of you Pull your hand closer to my
Starting point is 00:38:51 My voice bring your hand out out out out out And I want you to go ahead and close your eyes Close your eyes close your eyes Keep them closed And don't open them don't open them I want to open it so bad Invisible deck Had you think of any card
Starting point is 00:39:05 Random just random Shuffle them up plucked it out of the middle Don't open your eyes But tell us What is the invisible card You're imagine your hand it. Seven clubs.
Starting point is 00:39:14 Now let me ask you a question. I love this. I love this moment. Because it's exactly what I did with Jack where he changed mine in the middle and he wasn't sure. And I can always get the thought in the front of your head.
Starting point is 00:39:24 But the one in the back, what was that first card? And you go, no one's going to get this one. There's no one. What was it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tell us, yes.
Starting point is 00:39:33 Queen of diamonds. Turn around. Take a look. Turn around. Take a look at it. Get the fucking out of here, dude. Shut up. And then,
Starting point is 00:39:41 and then I wanted you to see if you could read my mind. I want you to see if you read my mind. You wanted to see if you can read my mind. You hold this. Look, I wrote this down before we even started. Before we even started. Take out your card.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Was that, was that, was that, look at this. Are these all different? And did you shuffle these up and you could take any word? I'll tell the audience again. I swear to God. I don't think. Show everybody. What was that card that you took out and tell us what it is?
Starting point is 00:40:06 Can you see? Open the note at the same time. Yeah, you can show everybody. Open that note up and read it and turn your card around. What did I say? What was I, what was I think? thinking of. Jack of Spades.
Starting point is 00:40:15 No. Oh, sorry. Can you guys not see that's really sloppy hand range? You guys see it's a five of spades. Sorry about that.
Starting point is 00:40:20 That's a five. Show them and I thought it'd be the five of spades. No way, dude. Hey, I'm Ruby Carr, the host of the podcast, Encore. Check out our brand new episodes

Yeah, sorry about my sloppy handwriting. Yeah. Even though, quite frankly, if you wanted, worst case scenario, I don't know if you guys can see it, but if you want it, if you were really sticking the mud, I would take the five of spades, give it a shake and chain it into the jack if you really.
Starting point is 00:44:20 needed me to. You know what I'm saying? We could do that just in case. Just in case. Five of spades is right here in the middle of the deck. Wait, seven, right? Five. No, five. Five spades. What are you saying? He just took the five of spades, shook his hand a couple of times, and turned it into the jack of spades, and then it was in the middle of the deck. How do you do that? What are we doing? We're busing with the boys. Oh my God. You're worth every, you're worth every penny. I can't wait. Jack, Garrett, Mitch, short for Mitchell. We got J.

Starting point is 00:45:10 And you know what? Here's what you do. I want you to think of somebody. This is the most insane shit I've ever been a part of. Wait, wait, wait, hold on, hold on. Wait, wait. Will, we got unfinished business, okay? I want to know how your mental process work.
Starting point is 00:45:24 Did you know when you were picking the five of spades? That's what I was thinking of because I had written that down. You had no idea, but you just had a feeling to go on that card. It was a five of spades. Sorry, my handwriting is bad. I didn't even think that could look like a jack. Did that not look like a five? That's weird when you said that because,
Starting point is 00:45:36 I see what you're saying, but it was meant to be five. How many, how many teams are there? 32 teams in the NFL. Yeah. Is that right? Yep. And if I ask you, right, if I were to ask you to pick any player and you go through this, how the decision happens is fascinating to me.
Starting point is 00:45:53 Let me ask you a question. I say to you, pick any player in the NFL, 32 teams, 53 players, right? And you close your eyes. Visualize his face. Can you see this player as if he's sitting in the bus with you right now? Now, yes. Okay, open your eyes. I think that you started
Starting point is 00:46:12 with the player's position. Is that how you did it? Yes. Knowing Willis probably skin color. I think it's skin color? He laughed at that. Now you gave me a hint. That was good.
Starting point is 00:46:23 I think he started with position. Then you went to team. Then you went to player. 32 teams. All right, I'm going to give this a go. Think AFC. Think NFC. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:36 Look at that. I know. Oh, fuck. Oh, my God. I got to say something. I'm so nervous right now. I think something's up. Something's up.
Starting point is 00:46:55 Close your eyes. Okay. Hold up. No? Hold up. I thought the same thing. For those of you who are listening, he's writing. Keyword.
Starting point is 00:47:12 Look at that. Now it's coming into perspective. I want to show you this. All right. Open your eyes. Think offense. Think defense. Think offense. Think defense. Hmm. You know what? Best offense is a good defense. He went defense. Right. Yo, no, I'm trying to say just sturdy. Do you see what's on this table? Look down. Do you see everything on this table? Look down. Cards. We've got drinks. We got everything. When I say the number
Starting point is 00:47:55 four, what does that make you think of? Do I say it out loud? Yeah. Does four make you think of something when I said the table? Right here. Do you see it? corner you're thinking of a cornerback aren't you do I answer yeah no it wasn't a cornerback corner back
Starting point is 00:48:14 corner back did this person switch teams in the last year I don't think so okay I got to preface this because I think we have confusion here are you thinking the same person you've got one person throughout
Starting point is 00:48:30 you just pick a new person I'm thinking of the cat you used to get me on across over the I had you think it's him him he's not a cornerback not a corner played for the Jets last year Yes
Starting point is 00:48:44 Just switch Did you not know that Just switch of the Buccaneers Bryce Hall isn't it Breece Hall yeah Is that not right He's on the jet still Is on the jet still
Starting point is 00:48:57 I think he just traded The last day of the bucks Or look him up I think he's on Breece Hall And I did misspell And put Bryce Hall first In the Google search
Starting point is 00:49:13 Is he jets or bucks? I mean, my heart is pounding. Just type in Breece Hall. It should be on... It's a prece Hall team. Team. Typing... Looks like he's...
Starting point is 00:49:31 All right. He's still with the Jets. Good enough for me. I didn't know if it was a trade. I'll take it. That means Breece Hall might be getting traded. Hmm. I heard it here first.
Starting point is 00:49:41 I didn't mean that. Was that really... Was that your person? Yeah. And I switched. Who was before? Don't know that one. Who was it before?
Starting point is 00:49:51 I'm sweating in here It was Christian McCaffrey Oh that was too easy I know that's what I thought was happening So I immediately was going to like a versatile Went from running back Yeah running back I thought you were going to go Roberts Blaine
Starting point is 00:50:03 That's funny I thought you were going to go to Roberts Blaine But he was talking fantasy draft I thought he was setting me up to pick Christian McCaffrey But I went a little more versatile Somebody you'd get in a Maybe second third round
Starting point is 00:50:14 Do you want to do some predictions What predictions are you going for NFL? NFL I think we might see a three Pete here The Chiefs Are you able in any capacity to tip off how you knew that? Well, I didn't know perfectly. So I'm telling you that's why I say it's,
Starting point is 00:50:28 you never know what's going to happen because it was close. I misspelled it. Sorry about that. I'm having rough spelling day. But why do I think bucks? I don't know who you thought of on the bucks now. It's killing me. Is we going to plan the bucks this year?
Starting point is 00:50:40 I think so. Will's coming back out of retirement. Year 10 for real. I mean, my mind's blown even though he got the use. Were you being serious? You thought I was thinking of a cornerback? I thought, were you thinking another cornerback? I wasn't thinking corner.
Starting point is 00:50:52 I was always thinking running back. You were. But the fact that you landed on Bryceaw, Breece Hall. And I mistyped and put Bryceaw first in my search bar. And then landed on Brise Hall. And I told JP, I was like, I switched my player. I don't think he's going to get it right. That is wild.
Starting point is 00:51:06 Are you in any capacity able to explain? No, I got to leave some mystery, man. I got to keep exciting. Can you teach us a small thing? You taught us learning names three times 10 seconds. Find a word play in that. Jared, double R. double O, double D, whatever it was.
Starting point is 00:51:22 Right. Is there anything you can teach us in the mentalist world? I got to think. That's a small little... That's going to take longer than you expect. That's the problem. Okay.
Starting point is 00:51:31 Okay. I'll wait for the book. I know. I'll wait for the book. Otherwise, I teach you a cool little trick to do it for the kids. What does the stat that I had to look up? No, I don't know the stat. I was just trying to see this.
Starting point is 00:51:41 I kind of move you around. Do you watch his fingers? I'm watching everything. Yeah, because you asked me a question. I want to know if he thought of because he changed me. mine like three times because he was with Russell Smith but he's like I don't know this kid as well so he switched to the other guy he knew better that was the
Starting point is 00:51:56 that was the fascinating part about that one in fact let's get JP he had that Russell JP think of somebody right now that pops in your head somebody that pops in your do you got somebody? Is it somebody they would know
Starting point is 00:52:12 they would not they would not know everything's miced up in here here's what you do I'm going to jot this down here's get a scrap of paper and show the boys behind you you guys are going to watch me like a hawk just this person's first name bryce hall okay this is their first name and show the guy behind you make sure there's no way we can see this over here on this side right now jp is using a sharpie you're writing and again just to bring up my last it was my last search like i didn't close it out that's impressive that isn't
Starting point is 00:52:39 miss you got that you good jp we're good who saw it just the back of the bus hold it in half hold it again eat it no i'm totally kidding you would have done it no Garrett would have done it. That's commitment right there. Marks, go to take. They saw it. Shred this sucker. I'm staring at you. Jack, hard-eye cocking. Is that thing ripped up? Hold out your hand. Rip.
Starting point is 00:53:02 Rip. Are there any pieces left in my fingers? No. All right. Do you have any idea who we might have just thought of? No. No. I will guarantee you 100% just based on the body language, based on the quickness. It's a guy. Is it a guy? Yeah, it is. Yeah, it's a guy for sure. A lot of dude talking here. A lot of dude. A lot of dude thoughts.
Starting point is 00:53:18 A lot of dudes. When you thought of that person, it was funny. how I caught six letters. So watch the same thing. Think of your person. And get rid of that in your hands. You're comfortable. Think of this person right now.
Starting point is 00:53:32 I'm not comfortable. Yeah. Right? It's scary. And I want you to mix up the letters in his first name and just grab one out in your head. You got a letter in your head? Yeah. Now, they know who you're thinking of.
Starting point is 00:53:42 So I wonder how many of you did the same letter. I don't think everyone did. I think people did different letters. People are different. Most people, when they're thinking of the name of them, which I do it. And they don't want to do the first letter because they think that my give away the name. And so I don't think you did that.
Starting point is 00:53:54 You didn't do the first letter, did you? You thought it's too obvious. So you jumped in there and then you know what he did? Somebody cuts you off in traffic, Taylor. Your better self, you don't want to be like you, you, you, you, you know, you, you, you don't say anything. You can't say it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:07 You could feel it. Yeah. I didn't even say the word, but in context, you know, you, you, like, I didn't even say, but you saw me bite my lip. F. Are you the letter F? Yes. And then there's two of them.
Starting point is 00:54:17 It's Jeff, isn't it? It is. God his ass! Oh no And I was thinking like man I did pick an easy name That's crazy Man
Starting point is 00:54:33 It's unbelievable man It's nuts It really is Made me work Does it is it exhaustive Five of Spades Not exhausting But sometimes you know
Starting point is 00:54:46 You gotta really focus And by the way I'm still so blown away Because my first search was Bryce Hall Who's Bryce Hall And I was like And then I miss belt it. I go forward, Breece Hall.
Starting point is 00:54:55 We'll do that again, one. Sorry. Because he had me, he had me type out my own stuff on my own search bar. I wasn't showing him. And I was thinking of the player and I misspelled it first and put Bryce Hall. And then, obviously that was the player.
Starting point is 00:55:09 I landed on. I don't know, man. It is crazy, huh? I'm still skeptical. Taylor and I thought of three numbers before you came in. Lottery numbers? No, no, no. Just three numbers. We were like, you know. Who has the envelope? Yeah, we have an
Starting point is 00:55:25 envelope where we had three numbers and our thought was like you'd be able to guess what our numbers. Who's not in this? I got an idea. Who's not even in this room right now? That's associated with the show. Stephen and Alex. Yeah. Bring them in. Coop. Coop. Coop. Yeah. You want me get them? One or two of them. Don't leave me alone. Don't leave me alone.

Starting point is 00:56:36 You asked me another question too. Yeah, yeah. Hold on. Hold on. You're going to ask me a question. Steve. Yes, sir. I think of Jersey numbers right now. Jersey numbers. Jersey numbers. Got it. Well, you don't got it. We haven't done one yet. Okay. So I thought we were. No, no. So even just relax. Sorry. Yeah. We're all in the same mental. I'm very nervous.
Starting point is 00:56:52 I'm very nervous. We're all in the same mental place as you. Okay. we've been doing football thought of Breece Hall I said Jets but then I switched over to bucks I wonder why
Starting point is 00:57:00 how about this imagine a football player right now actually boring I already did that I already did that let's do something good you said when I worked on Wall Street
Starting point is 00:57:09 what would I do how could you use this to monetize do you have any siblings I do okay why do he takes so long to answer that because he's scared he feels the same way
Starting point is 00:57:19 we all do would anybody know your social security number my mom would maybe maybe and also that's not really good to reveal on here because you can't change that Steve's like I might want to get out of the bus would anybody know your ATM pin code no is there any way in the world anybody could possibly know that if you've written that down you or he told anybody if you were like I don't know did you even make up your ATM pin code I did you made it up yeah all right watch this think it's four digits it's yeah for nice guess how'd you
Starting point is 00:57:53 Will with the jokes. Will with the jokes. Holy shit. That's going to be our clip to promo him too. You guys good? That's the money shot. Okay. Think of your ATM bank pin code.
Starting point is 00:58:07 And I want you to think of the first number in your head. Trying to react. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
Starting point is 00:58:16 nine zero. I already knew what it was, but I just wanted to see his face after you. I was trying to hold still. Yeah. Now, do you think this? guy did something silly like a 6666 or like an 888 like doing something ridiculous I don't
Starting point is 00:58:29 think so no not no shot no glasses maybe jack at 5 o'clock shadow this is a man who does a little bit of work hard a little bit of play hard a little bit of play hard yeah so I think you did the first number and you like patterns I don't think it's a birthday I don't think it's somebody's birthday is it don't say anything more I'm wondering what it is first number the second number gets bigger than the first number
Starting point is 00:58:59 you move down that's true I know think of the third number think if it gets bigger or smaller think this way or that way are you going to be mad if everybody now knows your 18 no that's fine because I'm going to have to go change it immediately after this think of the last number
Starting point is 00:59:15 yeah nine eight seven six five four three two one to clarify, you have never written this down, you've never posted this publicly, you've never said this anywhere. Literally, there is no way anybody in the world, including your mom, knows your ATM pin. Is that correct?
Starting point is 00:59:28 That is correct. Did the first number, trying to think where you went, because it felt like muscle memory. You went back. You didn't go, close your eyes. I might have missed this.
Starting point is 00:59:41 I want to make sure I write that number clear so you don't think it's a J again. I might have missed one number. It's kind of like the briefs hall thing. You ask me, what do I do? I never know if it's going to work 100%. You just never know. I'm going to ask you one last clue, but I'm already committed. I think one of the numbers repeats in your code, doesn't it, Stephen? It does. Open your eyes. You had never met me before I walked through this door, minutes before I arrive before getting on this bus. True? True. What is your
Starting point is 01:00:14 ATM pin code, one digit at a time? One, five, two, five. That's insane That's insane, bro. There's no way. Yo. Get Portnoy in here next. I want his ATM pincode also. I'll split.
Starting point is 01:00:39 I'll throw a piece to everybody. We might have to put you down, man. There's no way. I might not be leaving this bus. You're a danger to society. Oh my God. CIA just called. they need me to solve some crimes.
Starting point is 01:00:55 What the fuck? That is insane. Why don't you work for the government? Maybe my next iteration. Right now I'm having too much fun entertaining. Yeah? Being on the good side. I wonder how that.
Starting point is 01:01:06 What do you have like a good hacker or something like that? Because when I'm watching you, there's a lot of fluff, not fluff, but like you're putting on a show as well. Like you know answers you're already and then you're planning on. Oh, don't say anything else. Don't do this. Not always. Was there any game in that? Yeah, a little bit.
Starting point is 01:01:22 Yeah. It wasn't certain at all. God. I really thought I missed one. So, Stephen, I was staring your ass down when he was counting one through,
Starting point is 01:01:28 one through, or one nine to zero. Him just playing around. Did I give anything? Did I tip anything? Taylor? Dude, I didn't, I did not,
Starting point is 01:01:35 you literally were like this the whole time. All right, good. I just one, two, three, because I thought the first number was three. Which makes it even crazy that he just nailed it,
Starting point is 01:01:40 which I got to go, I need to get off the bus and go change my bin go to right now. So how did you even identify when he just stared in. You've heard the chaos. Now you can see it. Hello.

Starting point is 01:10:17 It can't be, right? Stacks. 100 times 110,000, 10,000, 100 is a million. Hit equals. You have to be over a million right now. And you were February and that birthday. I bet you're over 10 million. Is it over 10 mil?
Starting point is 01:10:30 Do you want to tell you? I mean, you don't have to tell me, but it's like a guess. It's like just numbers. Am I over 10 million? Yes. Okay. Here's what you do. You shuffle these up.
Starting point is 01:10:38 Whenever you want, I'm going to kind of have you yell out the word. Stop. Do you see what I'm saying? I'm going to let them fall and I want you to say stop whenever you want. Stop. Right there? Try to hit it right at that moment. Right there.
Starting point is 01:10:50 A little bit more. You know what? I have a better idea. Take and I want you do it while it's in your hands. You see what I'm saying? Take. I want you to feel it. I want you to be able to feel so you lift exactly where I'm not.
Starting point is 01:11:00 Take the cards in your hands and listen to me. You can lift a little or a lot, but I want you to feel like it's the right amount. Lift a chunk. No, no, in your hands. You're in charge. I can't do something for you. But you got to do at least like a few cards. You have like some oomf.
Starting point is 01:11:13 Does that feel right? Feels good. Are you sure? Yes. Put them down on the table wherever you cut. Like put, no, no, no. Like put the top half. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:20 Like wherever chunk you take off, put it on the table. Take a chunk. And then take the other half, turn it sideways and mark the cut. Get it? Boom. Now watch this. Is it overfing? 50 million.
Starting point is 01:11:33 No. Okay, so it wasn't December. All right, all right. Because then December would have been 12. Anyway, Taylor's blind is still blown about a million. Math. All right. I let the cards fall.
Starting point is 01:11:42 You shuffled them like crazy. And you cut. You said, I don't want you to do it. You do it. And now if you had cut one more card, it'd be different here. Do you agree? One more card different here. Every single place would have been different.
Starting point is 01:11:55 So I want to see exactly in the middle where you cut. And what I want you do is one digit at a time. Is it seven or seven or seven? eight digits that number eight digits 10 million something yeah yeah okay so let's do this one at a time i'm gonna let you do it right at the exact point you cut tell us what's the first digit on the like the biggest number yeah the whole thing what's what's it start with two two two what's the next number two nine a nine what's the next number six a six okay is that right this is getting too weird what's the next number seven seven what's the next number four a four
Starting point is 01:12:32 What's the next number? Three. A three? Four. Four. One. Ain't no one in the deck. So how about an ace?
Starting point is 01:12:40 An ace? Oh my. Dude. Now, that would have been a card trick. But you know what? Money, right? You're in the NFL. You make money.
Starting point is 01:12:50 Everybody likes to make money, but money can never buy you more time. You can be the richest person in the world, right? You only got so much time. So what's worth more than money? What did you say? Bustin with the boys? You signed 100? I don't even know what it was.
Starting point is 01:13:01 Was it was 100? It's still in your pocket? Yeah. It's gone. Check your pocket. Do you feel when I see? No, it's not the same one. Yeah, it's the same one.
Starting point is 01:13:13 Check, check if you signed it. Yeah, it's the time. You know who else signed it? Who? The government. Do me a favor. Read us the serial number of that bill on the other side, one digit at a time. No.
Starting point is 01:13:25 Hold the calculator up. Read the seal number. Mitch. Do you want to? Seriously. Go ahead, one at a time. Jack, you want me to hold it? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:42 2, 9, 6, 7, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 1. And there's a 0 at the end, but that's an 0 for O's. Oh! That's the moment! The most, hey. O's, man. That's it, boys. Hey, that's the most incredible thing I've ever seen.
Starting point is 01:14:23 We leave on a high note. We leave on a high note. Brother, that was, thank you. And look behind you, Breece Hall's walking in. No, I'm kidding. Totally. That was unbelievable. Thanks, guys.
Starting point is 01:14:35 Thanks for having me. You've been awesome. Seriously, I just... This is what they teach you at University of Michigan. You know what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying. Were you part of the cheating scandal? I was brought in immediately after the cheating scandal.
Starting point is 01:14:47 My episode aired the day after. And people said, are you really O's Perlman? You know all the signs. Yeah, Conner's down. Conner's down. I'm available defensive coordinators who need to know what the other team's actually going to do. Where are you going at this training camp? So I might be a secret.
Starting point is 01:15:06 I don't know. Oh, because you know. Yeah, you're right. Even if you could, we want the boys to be surprised. I want the boys to be surprised. That's the reason. Absolutely. How many stops do you get to go on?
Starting point is 01:15:15 A lot of teams. Really? A couple handfuls of teams. So, pro and college. So I'm super psyched. The college, you know what? I did Michigan last year, my alma mater. So that was really a special thing.
Starting point is 01:15:26 I told those guys, you're going to win it all this year. I was their good luck charm. I'm saying they did it. But I said at that moment, I said, we're going all the way. We had a 15-no season. This year, I'm excited. I think the team that I'm going to go see
Starting point is 01:15:35 is also going to win the national championship. Predict Michigan's schedule this year. Yeah, I don't know about that. I move. I wish. Because you got what, The first, how many draft pick did you get right in a row? 13, including Pennix.
Starting point is 01:15:47 Which is the craziest pick. Now, are you a massive football fan? I keep track of football. I don't know if I'm massive. I have four kids, so I can't watch as much football as I would like. Mine is getting in trouble. But I, I would say I've, in the last few years, with all stuff I do for NFL,
Starting point is 01:16:04 I have to watch so much game footage and know who the guys are, that I've transitioned more to NFL, but it used to be much more college. I will cut this part But are you going to Titans? I'm not going to Titans Not in the budget I get it
Starting point is 01:16:17 Not in the budget for the Titans Tell them for next year They'll cheat I don't think they reached out Really? I don't think so A lot of teams have Yeah
Starting point is 01:16:25 This was an insane Like look at we have This is the first way of every guy Interesting too Because he went to the Bengals Yeah And you also went to the Jets I did Jets
Starting point is 01:16:36 And you had a guy go up And you said McCull Hardman He's going to win this number of headlines. It's insane. Then the score that was predicting in the game, 3121 became the number one most bet score
Starting point is 01:16:46 on all on Draft Kings and Fanduels. That score from that went viral. Look it up. It's crazy. And it was the number one most bet score. Wait, what did you say? I had McColl Hartman come up. You got to watch the clip. I almost think you should put the clip up.
Starting point is 01:16:59 And I had puzzle. I had a puzzle piece, like a big puzzle that we dumped and there were hundreds of puzzle pieces all over the table that were different. And I said, McCole, you know, it's muscle memory. Like, so I had to put his arm down
Starting point is 01:17:09 and sweeps them off. sweeps them off until he only got like 10 pieces left. And I go, look at them and just pick any two pieces up. That's what he did. And there's behind him as like an easel. And I said, look at those two pieces and go time, baby. It's like, you don't have time to respond. Last 10 seconds of regulation, drop one piece on the floor.
Starting point is 01:17:25 And he comes over and I say, come on over with me. And we take it out. And that one piece fit perfectly in the puzzle. The center is the only piece that worked. All the rest of the pieces you could check. It was of the Jets logo. Do you understand it was a puzzle. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:38 And then I said to him, if you make it to the super. Bowl this year. I know you're going to be in the Super Bowl, McColl. That was the part that was crazy. So you end up being in the Super Bowl with not with the Jets. And I go, who are you going to play? And he goes to 49ers. And then I said, what's the score going to be? And he goes 3121. And on the back printed, I printed 49ers. You and the Super Bowl, the 49ers, 31, 21. So I guess the score that he did. So when he predicted that and he got sent back to the chiefs, people were like, we're going to start betting the score because we think it might actually be that. Yeah. So it was just a weird life mimics reality or like
Starting point is 01:18:09 just art mimics life it was crazy was that your greatest prediction it was I mean it wasn't the prediction I didn't get right but I did actually tell him that I thought he'd win the Super Bowl winning pass which was posted later because I DMed it to him a week before
Starting point is 01:18:21 so it was like we were DMing and he's like dude I don't even know what to say this is so insane God that's nuts do we have any questions what kind of prediction
Starting point is 01:18:29 can we get out of them what kind of prediction I mean I'm saying that the chiefs are going to win three years in a row are you in Kansas City fan? I mean, I like Kansas City, but I just think they're going to, I think they're going to pull it out again. Who are they going to beat?
Starting point is 01:18:43 I got to do my research before I say that. I don't know. Who's going to go to the, give us your college football playoff. Foof. I mean, Georgia's going far this year. Who? Georgia. Who's going to be in the final four of the college bowl playoff? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:19:01 Yeah, you put me on the spot too early in the day. Too early? Too early. Is Michigan going to make the college football playoff? For sure. Is Nebraska? I don't think so. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:19:13 Bastards. Before we've met, before we let Dr. O's leave, does anybody have any questions back there? Anything. Steve, Steve just asked me why did all of his money leave his bank account in the last three minutes?
Starting point is 01:19:27 There was one thing that we said, so mine was you wanted me to do the card, which you paid. Hold on. Stop right there. Let's do this. Right. He wants the challenge.
Starting point is 01:19:36 He wants the challenge. I'm saying, if you're that good, then what? So if you're that good, then how about this? Hit me. What's your question that nobody here would know? Say it. What's the question?
Starting point is 01:19:46 Say what's a question in your mind? Not the answer. I won't know any answer. What's your question? What was the name of my brother's first dog? Jesus. I mean, that was really, this guy, should have left before he said that.
Starting point is 01:20:01 No. Yo. Steve, I need to be. You do me a favor. You ready? No. I want you to go outside of the bus. There is a silver briefcase.
Starting point is 01:20:15 Silver briefcase looks like it has $3 million cash. Okay. Looks like it should be handcuffed like a nuclear football. Yep. Go bring it to me, please. You got it. Is that that question you said, that's what you wrote down on the... Hold on no more, no more answers, no more nothing.
Starting point is 01:20:29 I want to hear one word, your brother's dog's name. Yeah. My brother's first dog. First dog. It's not your dog. No. That's weird. It was not a family dog.
Starting point is 01:20:39 Family dog but it's your brother's okay Still live? Inside of yours an urn with the ashes of No I'm totally kidding that was super creepy Okay Avert your eyes for a moment as I bring out something very unique This lets you know everybody listening or watching that this wasn't set up and I had no idea what was about to happen
Starting point is 01:21:06 or when I had something prepared but now I'm coming in hot Open your eyes. I mean, I said coming in hot for a reason. You'll see what I mean. My business card is right here. That's it. Bam. O's Perlman, mentalist.
Starting point is 01:21:21 If I turn this thing around and the letters that spell your brother's dog's first name are on here, are you going to be absolutely blown away. Yes. Yes. I'm going to ask you one question here. Okay. Is it a math question? No. Oh, you know what?
Starting point is 01:21:43 A math question. count how many letters are in that dog's name. Don't tell me. Just thinking of the first letter, keep going all the way to the end. See what you did? No, he did a great job. What do you do, Will, when you whistle?
Starting point is 01:21:56 What do you do when you whistle? That's it. Look at that. Look at those lips. You whistle. You go like this. Right? Do you know what that noise sounds like?
Starting point is 01:22:03 That sounds just like air escaping. I guarantee you. I don't know when you did it, but you did this. That's an S. There's an S in this name, isn't there? No. There's no S.
Starting point is 01:22:14 No. There's no S. No. I'm going to turn this around. Think of all the letters. Why did he whistle? Is it because you whistle to the dog in your mind to come over? You son of a bitch, I was.
Starting point is 01:22:27 Try it one more time. Think of the first letter? Okay. Keep going until you get the last letter. Did it differ at that time. Rolled your tongue. R. Last letter's an R, isn't it?
Starting point is 01:22:36 Yes. Yeah. See that? You tried to whistle, throw me off. If I turn this around, I guarantee your dog's name is on there. Your brother's dog. Do you want to bet? What do you want to bet?
Starting point is 01:22:46 What do you want to bet? You know, I'm 100% going to win this bet. You know how I know the letters are on there? All of them are on there. I wrote every single letter in the alphabet, my friends. That's called a power move, busting with the boys. That is a power move. What do you want to bet?
Starting point is 01:23:02 You betting with me? Don't you bring a knife to a gun fight again? My fault, dude. You know what I said? I said, I'm coming in hot. Hold out your hand. Whole alphabet's on here. I didn't put a Z or an X.
Starting point is 01:23:11 Be honest, is there a Z or an X in there because that'd be a weird dog. Max? All right. Hold up. your hand right over here. I don't know if you guys can see this. I'm going to bring this in close to a camera. So you can see that the whole alphabet was written on here before we even started. Can you see all the letters? Will, come on over. Can you see them? Can you see my hand? Imagine that my hand goes on top and all the letters start to melt away, melt away, melt away, until forget the bad joke.
Starting point is 01:23:33 All it says is that dog's name. You ready? Yeah. That would have been so sick though, right? Oh, my God. Look at the blue balls on Taylor after that. Oh, my God. That would have been. been good. You ready? But I said I'm coming in hot. Look at this. Come over. I think you should get a camera closer if you want to see this. Come on in. I keep thinking it's over. I don't know which one's going to zoom in, but look, look it looks like some of the letters are starting to melt away. It looks like more of those letters starting to melt away until only thing left. What does that say?
Starting point is 01:24:10 Flower. That's the name of the dog. That's the name of the dog. That's the name of the dog and I wrote it down. Flower. Keep it. Are you serious? Dude, look at this. Oh. It's a way more rip than I expected it to be.
Starting point is 01:24:29 We're going to have to do a little puzzle here, but I swear to God. It's okay. He's got a puzzle joke. You said to rip it up so many times. I don't care, man. You keep it, rip it up. How did you do that? You swear to God.
Starting point is 01:24:44 I swear to God. The dog's name was flower. We got to figure this out. We have to. Here's a corner. All right, boys, I got to hop on a plane. I'm going to leave you to not sleep for the rest of the night. Hey, man.

Starting point is 01:25:23 to any to any single individual. My wife knows a lot of stuff. She knows a lot of stuff. Would she know this stuff? Not all of it, but most of it. She's been around me for enough time. Dollar shit.
Starting point is 01:25:36 You shuffled. You took the cards out of my hand and you said, no, I'm cutting. That's the most insane thing I've ever seen. He took out a bag of cash in the corner of the bus, if I remember correctly too. Not even a wallet, a bag, okay.
Starting point is 01:25:50 You know, for the record, I don't even know if anybody can read his handwriting right now. It is a disaster. Oh, yeah. I see flow right there. I don't see anything. Are you writing in Korean? I can't tell. Keep this card.
Starting point is 01:26:08 Keep the flower card. That's a keeper right there. Yeah. That's incredible. Once we get this puzzle done, we're going to take a photo of it and put it on the episode. Dude, thank you so much. Thanks, guys. Unbelievable.
