The Daily Show: Ears Edition - Trump Launches War on Drug Traffickers… Unless They’re Also Honduran Ex-Presidents | Asi Wind

Episode Date: December 4, 2025

Josh Johnson tracks Trump's flimsy war on narco-terrorism, from threatening more war-crimey attacks on suspected Venezuelan drug traffickers to pardoning the Honduran ex-president who smuggled enough ...cocaine to get the whole world high, and Troy Iwata just wants a clear answer: drugs good or drugs bad? Is the AI bubble at risk of popping? Ronny Chieng sits down with Peter Wildeford of the Institute for AI Policy and Strategy to investigate the risks of AI taking our jobs and tanking our economy as the “circle jerk” of AI companies goes all-in on robots. Award-winning magician and mentalist Asi Wind talks to Josh Johnson about his “More Than Magic” U.S. and Australia tour, the trick that (literally) sparked his passion for the craft, and why he sees magic as a collaboration with his audience. Plus, Wind treats Josh Johnson to a few mind-blowing tricks. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This is The Daily Show with your host, Josh Johnson. Welcome to The Daily Show. I'm Josh Johnson. We've got so much to talk about tonight. The War on Drugs continues, and this time we're on the side of drugs. We break down the latest tips to kiss Trump's ass and bad news. AI might kill us soon, but good news, AI might kill us soon.
Starting point is 00:01:37 So let's get into the headlines. Let's begin with President Trump. He started his second term in January, promising to keep America out of foreign wars. Now it's December, and he almost made it a year. President Trump hinting at land strikes in Venezuela as backlash on the controversy. boat strikes deepens. We're going to start doing those strikes on land, too. You know, the land is much easier.
Starting point is 00:02:05 It's much easier. And we know the routes they take. We know everything about them. We know where they live. We know where the bad ones live. We know where they live. We know if they've been good or bad. What is he, drone strikes, Santa?
Starting point is 00:02:22 So, yeah, Trump is launching a war on narco-terrorists, which, by the way, I get why he calls them narco-terrorists, because Americans know to feel about terrorists. We hate those guys. But if you just say it's a war on drug dealers, that's a person we invited to bring us drugs
Starting point is 00:02:39 that we wanted. That's like if they told you to start hating your Amazon delivery guy. Like, that's your guy. He's bringing your blender. But hey, this war in Venezuela just shows how serious Donald Trump is about going after these
Starting point is 00:02:55 drug traffickers. If there's even one guy on a little fishing boat, Trump's taken him out. So drug dealers, watch your back. President Trump has issued a full and unconditional pardon for the former president of Honduras. Juan Orlando Hernandez was serving a 45-year sentence
Starting point is 00:03:11 after he was convicted on major drug trafficking charges in the U.S. last year. Like I just said, drug dealers, watch your back because Trump is about to give you a nice massage. I don't even know
Starting point is 00:03:28 what's crazier that President Trump is pardoning the president of Honduras for selling drugs, or that the president of Honduras was selling drugs. People work their whole lives just to become president, so for you to get there and say to yourself, now I get to do my dream. It's crazy. At least Walter White had a teacher salary.
Starting point is 00:03:50 You're the president, and not only are you selling drugs, you're so bad at it, you get arrested in a whole different country. But maybe I'm missing something about this pardon. Maybe he's not some kingpin. I mean, this is America, the country that locks people up for years just because they happen to have a little baggy of drugs. How do we know this marginalized president deserved 45 years? I'm sure whatever this guy did, it wasn't that bad.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Juan Orlando Hernandez helped smuggle 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S. I'm sorry, 400 tons of cocaine? First of all, how do you even shove all that up your ass? I didn't even know you could measure cocaine in tons. It's like if someone told you they weighed 48 degrees Fahrenheit. Like, the fucking talking about? 400 tons of cocaine, that sounds like all the colors. like all the cocaine in the world.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Give me another unit based on not all the cocaine in the world. More than 400 tons, which is about 4.5 billion, individual doses of cocaine. Doses? Is that the term? Hey man, I'm going to head to the bathroom and do a couple of recommended serving sizes. You can tell this this is someone who doesn't know about cocaine because you don't measure it in doses.
Starting point is 00:05:30 You measure it in half-written screenplays. That's like saying, hey, do you mind if I get another dollop of meth? But the point is, But the point is, in the middle of an active war against drug traffickers, Donald Trump has pardoned a man who smuggled in enough cocaine to give every American resting Cash Patel face. It's confusing to say the least, but if I know Donald Trump,
Starting point is 00:06:18 he'll have a very coherent and well-thought-out explanation. for this pardon. You've made so clear how you want to keep drugs out of the U.S. Can you explain more about why you would pardon a notorious drug trafficker? Well, I don't know who you're talking about. You know you've been pardoning too many people when you're like, I'm sorry, which notorious drug lord are we talking about? At least give me the first letter and we'll be here all night.
Starting point is 00:06:46 It's wild how Trump always talks to the media like he's in court. He's like, I don't know who you're talking about. I wasn't there. I'm not even here. But after they reminded Trump who this guy was, he did have some semblance of an explanation. Well, you take a look. I mean, they could say that you take any country you want.
Starting point is 00:07:04 If somebody sells drugs in that country, that doesn't mean you arrest the president and put him in jail for the rest of his life. And that includes this country, okay? To be honest, I mean, if somebody does something wrong, do you put the president of the country in jail? Clearly Trump is worried about a slippery slope here. It's like that classic poem.
Starting point is 00:07:36 First they came for the wildly corrupt presidents, and I said nothing because that would be admissible in court. But I'll be honest, I don't think Trump pardoned another president so that he could get pardoned later. That's just too smart for Trump. It's like seeing a monkey draw a cube. There's no way he knew. that's what he was drawing.
Starting point is 00:07:55 There had to be another dumber reason why Trump pardoned Hernandez. The ex-president of Honduras wrote a letter to President Trump back in October, calling Trump your excellency and praising Trump's resilience in what he called the face of political persecution,
Starting point is 00:08:13 writing in part, just as you, President Trump, I have suffered political persecution, targeted by the Biden-Harris administration. it was that easy all you have to do is write Trump a letter saying that Biden framed you for something you definitely did had a trial for and were convicted of
Starting point is 00:08:32 you are the most did it because if it really is that easy you know what this means I don't think Diddy can read or write For more on the pardoning of the former Honduran president we turn to our very own Troy Awada. Troy, what's the latest?
Starting point is 00:09:03 Josh, Josh, I am here in the jungles talking to the drug cartels and they are ecstatic about the pardon. Mr. Trump, they read you loud and clear. The war on drugs is over, and the drugs won, all right? Let's fill these baggies, okay? Josh, Josh, does this look like a gram to you? No.
Starting point is 00:09:23 No, okay. Well, it's close enough. So stand by, Mr. President. The drugs are on their way. Hold on, man. Trump only pardoned one person. He is still blowing up all those boats in Venezuela. Is that right?
Starting point is 00:09:36 Is that right? Is that right? That's right. All right. All right. War on drugs is back on, all right? Padres, we gotta, we gotta get rid of this stuff. We got to get rid of it now, okay?
Starting point is 00:09:45 Cancelen la cacaina, Los Gringos Los Van a drone attack, okay? Oh, go on. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Dude, don't do cocaine on TV. Oh, calm down, you noob. It's just like one dose. Okay, look, we just, we gotta get underground
Starting point is 00:10:02 before Trump locks us up for life, right? Well, he'll probably let you go free if you just blame it on Joe Biden. Oh, ha, ha, ha, ha, okay. Chikas, we are back in business. All right. So as long as we suck up to Trump, we're golden. All right?
Starting point is 00:10:17 This is amazing. Josh, I feel like I have an eye for this. Do you feel like I have an eye for this, Josh? What do you think, Josh? Josh. Are you there, Josh? Wait, wait. Troy, Troy, Troy.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Sucking up doesn't always work. Venezuela is doing it now, but Trump's still about to bomb them. Okay, well, God damn it. I mean, make up your mind, America. Do you want drugs or not? God, God, I feel like I'm back in high school again when I couldn't tell who was wearing the dare. shirts ironically or not.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Just like, tell me what the policy is. I mean, I think the policy is whatever the president wants to do at the time. Okay. Well, that's f***ed up. Why do you keep doing that? I don't know. I'm starting to think this stuff is addictive.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Troy Al-Wad, everyone. When we come back, we find out if AI is going to put us on the street, so don't go away. Welcome back to the Daily Show. Artificial intelligence might enslave the entire human race, but what if it did something even worse? Ronnie Chang has more.
Starting point is 00:11:40 America is spending hundreds of billions of dollars on AI infrastructure. Wait, why are we spending hundreds of billions of dollars on AI infrastructure? Ah, damn it, I'm going to have to talk to some nerd about this, aren't I? Like Peter Wilderford, of the Institute for AI Policy and Strategy. I've used AI. Did I ejaculate? Yes. Was it the best sex thing ever? Not really. So what's the big deal about it? The big deal is what AI might be able to do in the future.
Starting point is 00:12:10 The level of investments actually now even exceeding the Manhattan Project. That's right, the Manhattan Project. The four-year program where the U.S. spend the equivalent of 37 billion in today's dollars to build a working nuclear bomb, all in an attempt to finally defeat Barbie once and for all. So why is the AI infrastructure build-out costing 10 times that? It is essentially a big bet that AI will generate a lot of profit in the future, and that we will get AGI before the money runs out. Obviously, I know what AGI is,
Starting point is 00:12:43 but for dumb asses like Michael Costa, who might be watching this, could you please explain it to them? AGI stands for artificial, general intelligence. It's a hypothetical future form of AI that can do anything a human can do. Current AI systems have narrow intelligence, which means they're great at simple tasks, but when it comes to complex actions in the real world,
Starting point is 00:13:04 they... Holy shit! It's fucking head fell off! But these AI companies are betting billions that their systems will improve to be as capable as a human at most tasks, also known as AGI. My character Megan, was that killed by AI or was that AGI? Megan was, I think, probably a form of AGI.
Starting point is 00:13:26 I thought it was a great movie kind of showing what could happen with an AGI system that they didn't know how to control. Yeah, I'm glad you liked my movie. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Wait, you said you watched it. You didn't see me in there? No.
Starting point is 00:13:41 How did you miss one-third of the movie? I was the main villain. I kind of thought Megan was the villain. Yeah, but I was the secondary antagonist. What you look at your phone? I was on the airplane. Well, that's not the optimal experience. But as Billion's porn to AI, some pundits are starting to use the B word.
Starting point is 00:13:58 We are in a bubble. We're in a bubble of some sort that will pop at some time. Or read in the AI bubble. Of course. That preview best an old man is. It's not a bubble. All that's happening is the three biggest players in the AI world have created a circular flow of deals
Starting point is 00:14:15 worth billions. Nvidia invest in Open AI, who turns around and invest in cloud computing from Oracle, who then reaches around to Nvidia to buy chips. These contracts jack up their stock prices and... Oh, wait, now I see it. So this is the most expensive circle joke of all time. Yes, 25% of the stock market is a bet on AI.
Starting point is 00:14:41 The f***. If these deals don't work out, there could be a stock market crash and the public would be the ones left holding the bag. All right, well, I mean, I guess that sucks for the public. Well, you're part... Wait, am I part of the public? I think we're all part of the public. It would affect basically the entire stock market in the entire economy. You could potentially even get a recession.
Starting point is 00:15:03 I can't be poor. But Peter says if AI actually delivers on his promises, things could get even worse. If the bet pays off, AGI could potentially take all our jobs and we would have mass unemployment. Okay, I don't know, I don't care about any of this. Right, capitalism is killing us. I mean, I don't think that it's necessarily capitalism killing us. The CEOs, the companies themselves are saying there's a one in five chance their own technology might wipe out all of humanity. Would you fly in a plane that had a one in five chance of crashing?
Starting point is 00:15:35 Well, are you on the plane watching my movie and not remembering I was in it? Because then, yes, I would like that plane to crash. There could be immense concentration of power, or we could even fight, like, World War III over this technology. So we'll all die, but at least we'll be rich. Yes, until the death part. Right, that's fine. I can live with that.
Starting point is 00:15:57 Man, you scared me for a second. Whether it crashes the markets, takes out jobs, or starts World War III, AI is changing the world, just like the Manhattan Project. As a visionary genius once said, there shouldn't be any ambiguity over what a historic occasion this is. Just one of many great lines
Starting point is 00:16:17 from my unforgettable character in Megan. Hint, hit, Peter. Thank you, Ronnie. When we come back, Aston Winn will be joining me on the show, so don't go away. You, and the Per Noelle, the pro of the embellage caduce. But Riesce's, the demand,
Starting point is 00:16:43 Cote of deballage, is who the maillard? The mull Reese, on beard-arachid, met your art of the deballage of the de brad-racheet, and chocolate fondant by packet, you have to what to train? To find, again, and again, this pleasure, sucre, saline, and again.
Starting point is 00:17:02 And again, the Pern-N-Hell has his biscuits, you, Tarrice. And there's nothing like Rees's. Welcome back to The Daily Show. My guest tonight is an award-winning magician and mentalist who's more than Magic Tour returns in January. Please welcome, Asi Wind. Thank you so much for being here.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Thanks for having me. Yeah, I, okay, so I love magic a lot. I'm happy you do. I am a huge fan. And I think that out of all the magicians that I've watched, especially because I really fell in love with it young, so I would watch it on VHS tapes and just be like so engaged with,
Starting point is 00:18:02 with everyone, and you're, like, the only magician that really looks like a normal person. I'm not true it's a compliment. No, no, it's just, I'm just saying there's like, I feel like so many people are trying to be, like, extra, extra, like, out there, mysterious and everything, and you have a presence and just a general demeanor that's very inviting, and I'm wondering if that's on purpose, like, if you are, if that's your approach
Starting point is 00:18:31 to magic. It's because I'm just not naturally cool. Should I go with the flow? You know, it's, yeah, here's a real answer. I really think that people take themselves a little too seriously, and magicians especially, they try to look really cool. Let's face it, we are nerds. We do car tricks.
Starting point is 00:18:52 So I'm honest about my... Take it from here. You know what I mean? No, I'm with you. Do you remember the first trick that you ever saw? I do. I don't know if it's the first one, but it's the one that got me. Someone had a lit cigarette.
Starting point is 00:19:11 He would make a fist, and he would push a lit cigarette into his face like that, open his hand, and it's gone. And I learned it, and that's the only trick I wanted to do. I became a human ashtray. My parents were heavy smokers, you know, and I would, Mom, give me, and I admitted, I also wanted to help their health. but it really that's the first trick that kind of comes to mind
Starting point is 00:19:35 then would you do it as soon as they lit up you're like I gotta show you something yes yes yes yes yes yes yes it's a double purpose it's amazing and it saves life yeah absolutely and so your approach to magic
Starting point is 00:19:50 I feel like is a bit different because like I said you're very inviting and everything but you also have you have an openness about what is going on that I think is unique. Because like you said with other magicians,
Starting point is 00:20:05 trying to be super mysterious and everything, I think a lot of other magicians want you to think that they have powers, like actual superpowers. And I feel like you're very much like, we're going to make something together. Absolutely. First of all, I feel like I'm in therapy. But no, and I like it.
Starting point is 00:20:24 I really do like it. It's like I'm reflecting. But here's a deal. Yeah, it probably manifests my. opinions in life, in general, that, you know, people ask me, like, what art do you like? You go to a museum, you see a piece of art or whatever. Which art am I attracted to? It's the one that feels sincere.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Meaning, if I see a painting with splashes of paint and this, every stick, every gimmick there is on a canvas, I go, this guy is trying to impress me. And when I see, like, Lucy and Freud, who I really love, the painting looks sincere. It looks like he meant every brush. stroke. That's the one I like. So it's, I'm sharing my passion. I, something I thought, I was lucky. I was young, 13. I was young and
Starting point is 00:21:09 stupid. I said, yeah, I can do this, you know, and I follow the dream because, and I'm sharing with, with the audience, hey, look, I love this. I hope you do too, you know, and I, let me show what I, yeah, that's my approach in life for a lot of things. So, yeah. Yeah, and not to put
Starting point is 00:21:25 you on the spot. Oh, no, also, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Wow. I don't need to do magic. I'm just going to say these things. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:41 I don't want to put you on the spot, but do you have anything for us? You're going to put me on the spot. Yeah. But you don't want to. I don't want to. But you will. But I have to. Is it cool if I put you off?
Starting point is 00:21:52 Okay, got you. So let me show you something. This is, again, I wanted to do something that I have not done in a long time. And I'm going to show you what I mean. If you were just randomly to place her finger quickly, quickly on a piece, on a knee card, quickly, go, go, go, go, go, go. You're going for five of diamonds. Can we see this?
Starting point is 00:22:10 Five of diamonds. Now, I did it with the cards face up. It's a deliberate choice you made. Do you have a reason why you touch this and not this or this or this or that? Why five of diamonds? I don't have the best aim. I didn't want to poke your thumb. Okay, so this was a convenient choice.
Starting point is 00:22:25 No, so forget that. Five of diamonds is nice, but what if you were to name a card, any card you want? What would name what? King of spades. King of spades. Okay, king of spades. Right there. You don't want the five of clubs. You want king of spades. Sure? Yes? Yes.
Starting point is 00:22:42 Yeah. Yes. Okay. This is not a quiz. But look, on the back of these cards, if you look, I drew a little figure stick. You see this? Yeah? Stick figure is supposed to say. Stick figure. And it's like a movie. You see this? It kind of moves. You see? It's so cool, right?
Starting point is 00:23:00 Huh? That's a teaser. But listen, he knew how you think. He knew you first going to touch, which one, you tie five diamonds first. So look at this. He goes behind a curtain, and he keeps one card, and it happens to be the five of diamonds. Ah! But hold on, hold on. He did not, no, he did not stop there.
Starting point is 00:23:28 He knew we have five of diamonds, right? He drops it to the ground and he keeps one extra card in the hat just in case. He goes inside and he pulls out one other card. It happens to be the king of spades. And then we have the five of diamonds and the king of spades. That's dope. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:55 Okay. You want to do this? Okay. We'll do this. Okay. But here's the thing that I think when I when I see how you do magic and how even like, you know, online there's people who go viral for magic tricks they do and everything, I think that your approach is so human that it is timeless because it will be, it will, it will last as long as people last. You know what I mean? Whereas I think very, I mean, not long. 20 minutes, but like, but I think that in that timelessness, is that also being factored in into your approach? Do you think of tricks, or do you want to do tricks
Starting point is 00:24:38 that feel very, like, in the moment that's a great memory? Or do you look at them as things that should last? Absolutely. I mean, I want to do work that if I look back at it, I go, I still love it, I still like it. Here's the deal. We live in a world where technology is a real threat magic, right? We look at AI. We look at all the things. Magicians were always afraid
Starting point is 00:25:00 of technology. There's a magician, David Devon, many years ago, was asked by a reporter, are you afraid of the new technology being a threat to magic? He goes, yes. And they were talking about the telegraph back then. They were scared then. But here's the deal. I'm not scared because technology cannot compete with one thing. People come to the theater, come to my show, and flatter by it. They buy a ticket, right, to see magic. Not. because I do magic. Because they want to see it. People have a desire to see magic. I'm only there to help them. So I think that's, they're the co-authors of the show. Without them, there is no magic. If some people say, ah, slide of hand, ah, they can dismiss it in a second
Starting point is 00:25:42 and they see nothing. Some people say, I want to believe, I want to see it. So for an hour and a half, I'm there to help them. No, I understand. Yeah, it's very true as well, because it's like, even as a magician and a very accomplished one at that, you're not sitting in your room by yourself like, I can't believe I did it. You know what I mean? Like you're... Sometimes, but...
Starting point is 00:26:10 No, no, no, never, never. I say, this is going to... That's not going to fool anyone. You know, and it's... So magic is... The way we go about it, it starts with a dream, right? My dream is to... Like, let's say, this thing I did with the card, which is a classic, that's a modern...
Starting point is 00:26:25 and this is my take on it. I wanted the idea that the little figure would be able to guess two cards. How do you do this? And you start and you think and you make a million versions until you get to a place, okay, this looks good. But it's a lot of work, and our job is to make it look effortless, of course, but it's not. It's really a lot of work.
Starting point is 00:26:46 And can you tell me about your show? You're going to be in the U.S. and Australia. Yes, we're doing that. Nine shows at the Sydney Opera House? Yes, and I'm very excited about it. So we're continuing our East Coast more than Magic Tour. We're going to have a bunch of dates in Florida. And after that early February, we're going to go to the Sydney Opera House.
Starting point is 00:27:08 And I'm very excited. Very excited. Congratulations. It's going to be special. Have you been? Have you been? I have been to Sydney, but not the Opera House. So thanks for rubbing it in.
Starting point is 00:27:21 I believe you can. No, but I believe you should. Let's do it together. You want to do it together? Yes. That would be crazy. Are you being serious? Sure.
Starting point is 00:27:29 Okay. You could just have me up there the whole time being like, oh, oh. That will help the show a lot. That would really help. Usually people have like a beautiful assistant. I'll just be a scared one. You'll be a both. You'll be both.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Can I put you on the spot one more time? Okay. Okay. So I have a map of the United States. okay and I would like you to think of a random place a city and a state
Starting point is 00:28:01 in the United States it has to be in the United States you cannot choose Canada I mean soon you'll be able to but as of now no I'm saying it's within you know and we're going to do something crazy
Starting point is 00:28:13 if I find you already have a place a random place in mind if I find it right now and I say oh you're thinking of blah blah blah not impressive you will find it not me okay and here
Starting point is 00:28:24 Here's how we do this. We just like this, okay? It's an instance stick, I think, yeah? Is that what you call it? Okay, and hold it by the corner. And as I move over the map, whenever you call stop, I will poke a little hole with your eyes closed.
Starting point is 00:28:42 You say stop, let's say Montana, it will be the state. But I will not be able to, you'll guess it by yourself. So close your eyes, and think about first the state. Think about the state, and you say the word stop. second I'm just trying not to sneeze stop okay do I open you can open your eyes okay and we already know the the state is a Wyoming right and he stopped me and I stopped exactly it's the state is Wyoming no okay but it's close to Wyoming like if you took an Uber no no no it's fine you can say no no no no it's fine
Starting point is 00:29:23 You can say no. No, it's fine. No. Okay, it's a new, I have an idea. What if I poke a bigger hole, it's going to keep burning, you know, and eventually it will get to your place. No? Okay, we'll try this.
Starting point is 00:29:36 So, here, I'll burn a little, like, try to make a little bigger hole here. Okay, yeah, there we go. It's cold, yeah. Now, is your place east or west? Just tell me that. It is east. East. So think east, and maybe the burn will go to the east.
Starting point is 00:29:52 Okay? Yeah, yeah. It's kind of favoring. It's favoring east. It's favoring east, right? Oh. Yeah, yeah, it's a favoring east. Is it, don't say, just think south or north, okay? Just think it. Okay. I can tell you right now, yeah, it seems to me that it's slowly making its way up north towards Canada, obviously, towards Iowa, Minnesota. Yes. Is it your place is more north? No. You're saying no? Okay. So let's see. focus then south okay okay so if you focus south yeah it's going north are you thinking south
Starting point is 00:30:29 no no so i'm i'm trying to i'm trying to think things you have to think oh i'm sorry maybe you say say say south south south south south oh oh look it's making new turn it's making you turn yeah it's it's pivoting down it's going towards uh missouri arkansas louisne is that the right direction uh yeah close your eyes close your eyes close right i want you to think now about The city, the city in the state you're thinking of. Are you thinking? It's going towards Missouri. Are we in the right state, Missouri?
Starting point is 00:31:03 Yes. Okay, good, good, good. It's going to, let's zoom on. Yeah, we see it. It's going down and down. Whenever you want, take your time, say the word, stop. Oh, I thought something touched me. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:14 Say stop whenever you want. Stop? Stop? Yeah. Okay, let's see if it stops by itself. Do I open my eyes? Oh, it stopped. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:21 It stopped. Don't look. Don't look, don't look, don't. Can you tell us the place you're thinking of? Springfield, Missouri. Look where it stopped right there. Open your eyes. We stopped on Springfield, Missouri.
Starting point is 00:31:48 And by the way, if you ever find yourself, in Wyoming and you're lost. This will guide you all the way. And you can, please. Oh, thank you. Y'all, okay. So this leads me to my next question. You know, you do great tricks and stuff,
Starting point is 00:32:10 but there's got to be some people who don't love it after it's done where they're like, does anybody freak out and run away? There's some people who freak out, runaway hate me, but, yes, some people don't love magic because they take it as a challenge to, an intellectual challenge, and I'm not there to do that. I'm there, I spend many hours just to figure out this magic, but some people take it too personal and they say, oh, this is offending, you know, offending me in some way. So, yeah, it happens. My job is with the humor and all that
Starting point is 00:32:48 and presentation, and there's lots of audience participation in my show, is to tell, hey, we're here together to do this, you know, to have fun. Yeah. No, this is fun. This is very fun. And even though I have been more freaked out that I thought
Starting point is 00:33:06 I was going to be when I asked you to come on, I am having a good time. I want you to think I'm not having fun. It looks. Yeah, yeah. Like, this is amazing. It's just taking a second to process. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:33:21 It's like I imagine what you do is like the first time somebody saw somebody dunk, where they were like, I didn't even know you could. Wow. I promise not to freak out. Can you show me one more thing? Sure. So now we're going into improv land. I have no idea what I'm going to do, but I'm going to try.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Okay. So maybe we can get a shot from above. Can we see it from above? So you verify to the audience all different. all mixed up. It's not the same card repeated, right? Uh-huh. So here's a question. If I just base some, let's say, here, okay?
Starting point is 00:33:57 Name any car that pops into your head right this second. Remember, the deck is here. I can't lose anything. Seven hearts. You don't know where the seven hearts. The seven hearts could be literally, it could be here, right? It could be there. It could be right where I cut it. That is wild.
Starting point is 00:34:11 In my country, that's considered amazing. Yeah. No, no, I'm just saying. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. They did not respond to. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:21 No, I'm with you. Here. Name a different card. Name a different card. Whichever you want. Anyone. King of Spades. King of Spades.
Starting point is 00:34:30 Remember, you chose before. Are you sure you want to still go to the King of Spades? Who? No. Okay. That changed in everything. Yeah, King of Spades. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:41 Now, you don't know where it is, right? Can you pick one? Take one out? Okay. One, one, one out. Oh, okay. One, not to. This or this, you're changing.
Starting point is 00:34:49 You want to change. You're good with this? I'm okay. You're sticking to this. Yes. And you wanted to be king of spades. And you could have named any one of these cards. Take a look what you chose.
Starting point is 00:34:58 Take a look. The, uh. This is crazy. Yeah. Right. Not to be confused by you, a second to open your hand. You chose king of spades. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:13 But you also chose seven of hearts before. So if you switched it and you chose seven, chose seven of hearts first it would be this then I will change it again you know what I mean yeah I'm just saying if we're mm-hmm it's yeah and by the way it's just for backup okay I'm so I'm so glad you haven't started a cult thank you so much for be in here.
