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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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?
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?
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,
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.
Whoever's promoting this right now.
To Bitcoin.

Ticker symbol.
So right now I'm in something called the CNBC Celebrity Stock Draft,
where it's like,
I don't know,
they get 10, you know,
celebs or whatever.
And we're picking,
and I'm in number two.
I was in number one.
And I've done it twice before.
And I never won.
I always at the last minute got eeked out.
But I said to buy Carvana.
And Carvana pop by over 60% a week later.
Like crazy.
I should have put more money into it.
And I also put Bitcoin.
So those are the two bets I have this year.
Okay.
Bet at your risk.
At your risk, folks.
Don't know.
I kind of want to take everything.
There's a big like 50-50 me right now where part of me,
trust you,
0%.
And the other part of me trust you 100%.
110%.
Yeah.
Start in a cult.
Yeah, dude, I really feel like...
I told Taylor to shave his mustache right now.
He's like, I'll just shave half of it.
Just to mess with you.
Just to mess with you because I don't trust 100%.
Just the edges.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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,
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?
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?
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
That's a five.
Show them and I thought
it'd be the five of spades.
No way, dude.

That is a five when you really look at it.
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.
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. Rod right here. We got Jared right here. We got Jared.
We got Sherman.
I'll never forget you, Sherman.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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...
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.
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?
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
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
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
So,
what are we doing here guys? Yeah.
How are you?
Great. Hey, bro.
Living the dream. What's that?
Double girl dads here. Well, you did a,
You did you have you have four kids four kids girls boys two boys you son of a bitch
How'd you do how'd you have boys did you mentalize your life at a time of day position uh no uh i don't
you know there is actual literature on that right which i have looked up in a very that it
yeah going for three yeah how'd you don't have two kids i see two girl dads i said it you said it okay
they coming in yeah just let's just stuff all the boys and the boys steven coming on boys
So we had
Those some aggressively short shorts, huh?
He'll go and scoot it on.
Coup's King at the Sleeper Build.
Built for radio.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
And I want you to think of the first number in your head.
Trying to react.
One, two, three,
four,
five,
six,
seven,
eight,
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
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
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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,
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.

Go get a buck.
Oh, you ain't got on.
You know what?
Give those a mix.
You did a good job before.
I'm, dude, I'm fucking...
What's the birthday?
All right.
What do you got cash?
Why you have to do it like that?
You can just grab...
What does this guy have right here?
Hey, hey, hey, he just throws the bag on the thing.
Like, why do you got to do it like that?
Zero cash on.
Oh, there's money on here.
Yeah.
All right.
Let's look.
Let's make a busing with the boys.
Grab out a bill.
Oh, we had to do is grab one.
We have one bill.
He comes up.
Boom.
He's got money and his wallet.
Bam.
Not mine.
I want to touch it.
All right.
I want you take.
Take it.
I don't want to touch it.
I want to see it nothing.
Take it over there.
Take the bill.
I don't want to touch it to be around it.
Hide it.
And I want you to take and write busting with the boys on it.
Don't look.
Do it over there somewhere.
I don't want to see a bill.
I don't see it.
All right.
You mix these up?
Yeah.
All right.
Graham.
All right.
Let's do this.
All right.
Who has their phone readily access?
Do I fold it?
Fold it in half.
Fold it in half.
And I want you to take it and how many pockets you got?
What did you just do right there?
Nothing.
Nothing at all.
Four pockets?
Put it in one of them.
Look.
Pull up your calculator.
This is like the calculator thing is when I text it Bach.
Ready?
Yep.
How many people's birthday?
Birthdays do you know in this room?
I like the fact I don't we saw this that he just threw his browser history.
You see that?
That was a front move right there.
Good word, Jack.
It could work.
How many people's birthdays do you know in this room?
Anybody?
Garrett's.
Garrett, you know, that's cute.
You know his birthday?
Okay, that's good.
All right.
Tell me, tell me, you know what?
Don't even say it.
What month is he born in?
February.
Okay, so put in two and then hold it up so I can't see it,
so I don't know the day.
And if it's less than 10,
if it's the third, do 03.
But if it's the 28 through 28,
so put in two more digits for his birthday.
Okay.
I'm not adding anything.
No, just put in like a three digit number.
You good?
You did it?
Now, Garrett, think of somebody whose birthday you know.
You got somebody?
Take the phone from him.
And I want you to hit times.
You did it?
And now the month and the day.
Now, here, Matt, the month was like December due 12.
01 or 12.31.
You get it to try to make the number be either three or four digits.
You already hit times.
Put in that three or four digit month.
month and year.
Let me know you've done it.
Do you do it?
You need a year?
No, no, no, my bad.
Like just a month.
So you've got this times this
and hand it to one more person
you decide.
Anybody out there, who are you going to hand it to?
Did you keep up?
Hold on.
So if it's like January, it would be 01.
Yep.
You already did it, right?
You did three or four years your number.
Okay.
Who do you want to hand it to?
Who hasn't helped yet?
I got to make sure I'm on Mike.
Who hasn't helped yet in the room?
I don't know if you see this.
But right now, Steve is changing his bank
pin code as we speak.
He's on the,
He's on the phone with Wells Fargo being like,
I don't know what the hell happened.
It's a mentalist.
Just change it.
Who's got it?
All right.
Here's what you do.
Should we go through everybody's name again?
Because you don't believe me that I know everybody.
All right.
Jared,
think of someone's birthday.
You got somebody?
Yeah.
Okay, three or four digit number.
Here's what you do.
One last time.
Hit, hit times.
Big number pops up on the screen, doesn't it?
Yep.
Type in that three or four digit number.
So if it's a month.
Yeah, yeah, you do it three or four digits.
Doesn't matter.
I'm gonna let you do it.
You are, you psycho.
You did it?
Yeah.
100 times 100 times 100 is 1 million.
Fact check me later.
Taylor's mind is blown.
So if you right now...
It can't be.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
What's the next number?
Three.
A three?
Four.
Four.
One.
Ain't no one in the deck.
So how about an ace?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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?
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?
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.
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.
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?
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?
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Good stuff, gentlemen.
Hey, it's been incredible.
Who's been your favorite person to perform for?
I don't know.
It's a tough one.
Maybe President Obama.
That was pretty cool.
Yeah.
So you've had Shaq, Mark Cuban.
Yeah, those are good guys, too.
Not to knock either one of them.
Shaq is a big guy.
Have you ever?
revealed any secrecy
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.
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.
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.
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.
That was so far.
We got J.P.
Stephen.
We got Mitch in the back with the headphones.
We got Sherman.
We got Jared.
J. Rod, as I like to call them, right there.
We obviously have Jack, Garrett, R, R, T.
We never actually met for the first time.
So, no, you never told me your name.
I only got Steven thing.
What's your name?
No, I would have remembered.
Cooper.
I was never told this.
So that's a party foul right there.
Dude, thank you, man.
I'm so blown away right now.
