Yeah, we'll see what happens when any is confronted with it all. Well, that kind don't like the other kind, if you know what I mean. So is that kind? They don't. This kind and the other kind, they don't go. well together, historically. Oil and water. Yeah, black people and magic tricks don't go well together. But it's always fun because you always know you're going to get a someone to stand up, turn around, scream, throw their hands in the air and say, fuck this shit. It's always fun. I really

enjoy it. They don't like it. They think it's any, well, let me ask you, do you think it's witchcraft? Why is that cultural? Why is that a cultural thing? I mean, it's probably not, but I mean, it is. It is. Well, I guess, you know, to speak for myself, Let me mute the voice of God real quick. Speak for myself. Yeah, you know, it's the devil. It's the devil. It's Satan.

There you go. He's behind everything fun. It's because the real magic, you know, we got the voodoo and the hoodoo. Like, we'd be doing that shit. You know what I'm saying? You're just a liar. Wait, he's got a good point. Like, black Bahamians do voodoo.

Why is voodoo acceptable? Because you guys are in control of that magic? Is this because it's the white man's magic? No, it's because that shit's real. Yeah. That should really be. Yeah. It's not easy.

Yeah. Magic is not mentalism. It's not easy. Not easy. You're a professional liar. Like, wait, wait, wait, hold on. But so is acting? Hmm.

Actors are professional liars. Do you hate all actings? I don't know if that's a liar. They're lying. They're professional liars. They're pretending. Yeah, you're pretending. But it's like the goal isn't to trick you, though.

Yes, it is. And to evoke feelings. Tom's a professional liar. They manipulate you. It's manipulation. Yeah. I don't think so because then you're saying that musicians are fucking liars too because they just be you know they'd be manipulating you to be

feeling things but i don't think so mentalists and magicians specifically they they just yeah it's it's like okay if i take a wallet out your pocket it's it's theft i go to jail if you do it's magic me nigga fuck you like yeah wow cheating ass thieving ass maybe fucking he's not gonna like today's episode at all man no man let me tell you my pockets are empty all right ain't nothing to take yeah they're going in there with it man we're gonna keep the motherfuckers out yeah yeah yeah I cannot wait oh me too now now yeah are you gonna do all that any are you gonna are you gonna oh hell no I mean it depends we'll see what the fuck we'll see we'll see what lines he crosses we'll see yeah boy that's the longest one ever

Welcome. Welcome to your mom's house with Tom Segura. Mom Seguera. And Christina. He has shit. Welcome to your mom's house. Look at these tits. Nice.

Very nice. Welcome. You're looking good today. Miam. Miam. You know what's crazy about this clip? Like the thing, obviously it stands out that, you know, the way he speaks. And then you go, this guy's made it to like whatever he is, 60 something.

And he owns a vehicle. With a bunch of wires and stuff. Yeah, but he's like, he's survived with that level of communication. Oh, wow. It's pretty wild. It is pretty wild. And I also think this video was taken a block away from this studio, don't you feel like? It could be, yeah.

It's very Texan. It's very, yeah, very possible. This could be in a lot of places. This could be in Georgia, Bama, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee. Like, I don't know where, well, maybe we have it here. Let's hear it again. Oh, the comments believe this is either Tennessee or Oklahoma. Deep.

We have a translation. No, fucking why. Most liked and agreed upon this translation. You want to hear it again? Yeah. All right, here, this is what we got. Don't pull up around here, I'll catch you all that we'll get you all the ass for. It ain't nothing to huff a man.

Okay, don't pull around here and going to get your ass whipped. It ain't nothing for me to whip a man. He's joking, though, right? Yeah, he's joking. He's joking. He's joking. He's just. He says, you do all that there, there, there, there's something in the under there, pop-pole patching.

No clue. He says, you do all that there, there, stop that yelling as I pull past you, and you acting crazy. Oh man, that's not what I heard. What did you? I heard something else. What'd you hear? Well, we play it again. There's definitely some hard ars if that's what you're saying. Okay, that's what you were hearing. You heard hard ours. That's what I heard. You know, in that accent. I've heard that. But I mean, what did you have an actual sentence? Like, do you think he said something? I thought he just said, you know, I thought he just said, you know, all that new, shit.

You know, I'm like, oh, okay. It ain't that frame of a man. He ain't all that in there, there was something in the under there, pop-ball pack. Y'all going fishing? Y'all going fishing? You going fishing? Yeah. You got a boat?

Yeah. Hell he is. We got four and five of them. He's that, so then the guy says, you got, we're going fishing. He goes, we go on fishing. And then he says something at the end, they're like, we got, you got a boat? Yeah. Oh, is it you got a boat?

all got a boat. Oh, apparently he said, Oh, you got a pole. Oh, yeah. And then the guy goes, we got four or five of them. Oh, okay. You got a fish? You got a boat? Yeah, you got a pole. We got four or five of them. Yeah, you got a pole. We got four or five of them. Let's see if the mentalist can solve this one. Could you imagine, though, having to fish next to this guy, and he's like, ding on, ding, ding, no, ding on. Well, the whole time I'd be like, what? Yeah. What did you say? Who do you think's harder to understand? This guy or the Killarney drunk?

Calarney. Calarney, right? To us, to our ears. Yeah. I think maybe an Irish person would choose Calarney. This is fucking bananas, though. This guy is out of his man. This is our Calarney guy.

Yeah, he is. He's the Calarney of the South. He's probably like 30 years younger than Calarney guy, too. I feel like Calarney guy is like 90. Here it is. Okay. Okay. Yeah.

Okay. Do you think this is just drinking too much? Oh, hold on. Oh, I don't know. Is it alcohol and no teeth? Yeah, that's a good combo. Right? I mean, Clarnie Guy

is never. more than a few moments without alcohol in his system. You realize it's like 50 years of 25 pints a day. This guy has not known a sober feeling in decades. Probably beer, too. Yeah, of course it is. Just so dense. Maybe Irish whiskey, too, but lots of beer.

Here. This guy is drinking. I hear in Clarenney, because we've been invited by a very special character. I hear he's a local legend, and his name is Shammon. He's got a pint. God, how are you? We're here in Killarney today. Nice to meet you.

It's great, isn't it? Great, give you a dog away. Great, give your dog away? Is that what he said? Great, give your dog away. Right, give your dog away. Okay. This sweet little soul in the purple sweater.

He's a sweet man. Jimmy Carter from Chattelden. My bad is, Jimmy Connor. My dad is. Good player. If I sat next to this guy, I would be like, oh, I don't speak Lithuanian. So I don't, sorry. I know.

You moved around a lot. I mean, I'd say to up. I'd tell you this is my nightmare. somebody messaged also recently that they're like oh yeah he's alive oh yeah there was a report that someone said he died and we were like yeah of course and then they're like no no he's not dead we've been emailed people that have taken pilgrimage just to just to visit this guy and guess what he'll be at the pub when we show yeah oh yeah you don't have to be like will he be in today they're like yeah he opens and closes it's fine is where is calarney he's a rope dropper in in relation to like double closer. Kilarney. There's Kallani.

Just like most civilized people, I've been wearing underwear all my life. I haven't really strayed from the same brands and fit I usually go for until I tried skims. Now, I was skeptical because I was like, I had no idea they were doing this. Then I tried them on. And oh my God, the material, the fit, my boys have never been happier. The Skim's Stretch Boxer Brief has completely changed my view on men's underwear. The stretch material might be the softest material I've ever put on my body. They're everything I love about my classic boxer briefs with an unreal quality.

They don't ride up or lose their shape. Christina has been using Skim's Women's Shapewear for a while now and is always raving about how great the quality is. And now I understand the hype. There's no sagging, bunching or rolling up on the thighs. So long gone are the days of awkward adjustments. Trust me, it's time to give your top drawer a refresh. Shop skimsmen's at skims.com.

But I want to know how far is it from like Dublin? Oh, fuck.

It's way out there. Yeah, where is Calarney? It's right next to the park. Oh, boy. Fuck. Yeah, that is nowhere. Oh, there's Dublin. Okay, up in the right corner. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah, so that's. Yeah. That's a good. How long is that track, though? I can't really tell because. So if you're going to Ireland, you go to Dublin and then you head on over to, So, Calarney. Three hour and 47 minutes drive.

That's a good long drive. It's worth it. To have a pint with that guy? Train in three hours. Yeah, that's worth it. That would be so, we should do a YMH pilgrimage. A whole company pilgrimage. We're going to Calarney.

Just to visit. And then we just go out there and he's just like, and he throws up and we're like, okay. That was cool. But can't you see yourself becoming that guy? No. No, not at all. Totally can.

What? Me, not you. How? I just think, like, you know how it is. Like, we're aging, and there's so many things you do to slow that process down and to stay on top of it. But I could see myself just giving up. Oh, giving up. And being like, I don't need to go to a dentist.

I can just drink beer all day. I can just gain weight. Who cares? Who cares? Like, if you die tomorrow, like, I'm not remarrying. Like, this is going to go to shit. This is done. I don't care.

You know, I'm going to be honest, I know this is not very, you know, PC or whatever, but I maintain this, like, mostly for your gaze, for you, so that you don't go like my wife is a pig and she's disgusting. I don't want to have sex with her anymore. Like, you know, I do it for me, obvi, but also because I have an obligation to my husband. It's very sweet to you. Yes, you're doing a great job, by the way. Thank you.

You don't look anything like the Killarney guy. But I could become him. You could become him. Well, just remember. like wait till they get out of the house though right let's say i die tomorrow just raise my kids oh no yeah and then like the moment they leave yeah just go back to become alcoholic for sure um i just want to quick quick plug for my new lipstick which i'm wearing today thank you this is called uh ever more liquid lipstick the shade is nocturn wow and um i put over it my whimsy kiss gloss

ship there's any hotties out there oh let me know we'll make a daytime dry let me know okay i'll let you know but he wants to go with another guy to look for hotties yeah but it's not i think he would respond under that lipstick. You think if I was like, I'll go with you. Mm-hmm. Yeah? For sure. Yeah. Yeah. What's at a frying pan under his head? What is that? That's a cast iron skillet. What an interesting background choice. It is interesting. It almost makes me wonder if the cast iron's on the floor. But that also looks like insulation that is between sheet rock. Yes. Yes. Yes. Insulation. Not to mention the very unique build that this man has. well we were I wasn't gonna even go and it kind of reminds me you know I've been training a lot more

I'm neglecting my neck I need to do more neck work there's I have this thing called the iron neck where you put it like it's like a halo goes around your head and then you can do like neck oh that's what he does that's how he has such a thick neck oh for sure yeah he's definitely in there yeah so yeah we don't have to promote them but that's fine um that's really cool So he just needs to tone down the neck work. Or ramp it up. Let's see how big it can get. Why not?

You know, if you're strong, you're strong. Did he? So the skillet hanging is really perplexing. Again, is it hanging? Or is he like sitting, is he like this? You know? I know. It's hard to tell.

Okay, I'll tell you why he's not laying. Because the face meat would be more gravity on the face meat. Huh, it looks pretty gravity heavy here. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. It's funny, we've lately, these videos of cool guys, they have an aversion to finishing the walls in their living environment.

Remember that last guy just had like the framework? All he has to do is, by the way, all he needs is the, you just need to close the wall now. Like, you've insulated it, which is great. Yes. For the cold. You need it. Yeah. Yeah.

Sound. Heat me. even too yeah but then you're like oh i forgot to cover it up i know but whatever a nice walk on a baloxy beach looking at hotties might solve that's true this is why men need women we make things pretty yeah they sure do and men are cool that's one of the things that we've discovered doing this show dudes are always cool you know like here's a pretty cool thing you like what the hell but why did you say that to me you in the store and i'm asking you you for a charger and instead of asking me that but why would you ask me what's my coochie

way oh but why did you say that to me so now you didn't say it to me so you didn't say that this man i'm at wild greens and i spit water on myself uh-uh and your disrespect for ass excuse me sir your disrespectful ass going to ask me is my coochie wet and guarantee i will send this to corporate because you full of shit. I did not. You full of shit. No, I don't want no goddamn charge from you. Go find me another worker.

Good day. Go find me another worker with your disrespect for ass. Yep. Hey, Chris. Chris. Your coworker asks me, was my coochie wet? That's what y'all do at Walgreens. Y'all ex women is they coochie wet?

That's me. Apologize for asking me. Don't lie. Apologize for asking me. No. Why did you ask me was my coachy wet? I took it the wrong way, dumb bitch. You ought to get your ass beat.

Yeah. He took it the wrong way. In the beginning, he was like, I apologize. Before she turned the camera, he was like, I apologize. That is also a bold move. Like, can I get a charger? He's like, what's up with that pussy right now? Yeah.

He was like, is that coochie wet? Because she spilled water on herself. Yeah. He was trying to, like, segue into it. I see you. Water spills. Speaking of wet things. Did it drip down to your pussy by chance?

Yeah. He's like, is it just me? Like, you're hanging out here? Walgreens or Walmart. But also, like, lady, doesn't it feel good to be flirted with? Seriously, this fucking bitch? I know. So uptight. Guy can't ask you a simple question without you getting all fired up and wanting to send it to corporate. Oh, my feelings are hurt. This guy asked me if my pussy was wet. I will say the blessing in the skies about the cameras is that now like women can stand up to these. It's so

nice because seriously you do get, I mean, people say crazy things to you like all the time. sure it's good and you can actually record it document it dude what are you what are you doing to me what are you doing talking about my pussy right now are you doing this especially because you know that like when you when you want a charger you know you're not having the best day no your battery's low maybe phone's dead or about to die I know stress and then you're going to be like I'm trying to fuck your pussy wet no I want to get my charger man and not only that like she is younger and more way more attractive than him he's old is he old yeah he's not in her league it's so offensive yeah well i just think like you know what he could use probably some time with mystery like i was gonna say

so mystery is back um if you guys don't know years ago there was a reality show i think it was on vh1 of course it was on vh1 had the golden they had a real good run and mystery was is a pickup artist him and that was his name and the whole idea behind a name like that i remember this from the show was that if he would say his name you as a he's a pickup artist so the whole idea is you say you give yourself a name like that and then that prompts questions so if you introduce yourself to somebody as mystery they're going to be like your name is mystery and then you just go from there it was like step one so then he kind of faded out right hold on but you forgot step two the most important part of mystery's whole thing yeah it's not mr e by the way

one of our younger staffers who never saw the show, not her fault, it's not Mr. E. No, it's the word. Like a mystery novel. Right, mystery. Another thing he was really adamant about was peacocking. Yeah. And that men have some flair.

Flair. So he would wear like a feather hat, a feather boa or like goggles. Crazy attire. Like sand dune goggle, Burning Man stuff. And then that gives you, that makes you stand out of the pack. And then women go, oh, I love you. your hat or I love your scarf and then it gets you into conversation right so both of those are prompting questions and negging that was huge too he would go up to the woman and then you have to put

them down so it's a very it's a good system yeah it's like well you know you'd be a lot better if you pulled your hair up yes so and then the girl's like wait what yeah yeah yeah you put them down a little bit real cool tactics starting something new is almost always stressful before we launched this podcast, there were so many questions to be answered.

is that there was like he was you know people knew about it the show was popular everybody kind of and I feel like it was kind of pre social media it feels like it was a while ago right like when we got married the show was on like 08 oh 9 long time ago um okay

so we have a couple of his here I missed him so much well I totally like like um like you just kind of forgot about him. And then I was scrolling recently and I was like, no, he's back. He's back and he's offering seminars. So Walgreens guy, no neck, you know, whomever. Cool guys, all the cool guys. Could maybe learn. Here's like kind of the stuff that he does. Just if you want to know

more about mystery. So you want girls chasing you? You want to be the big man and have girls chasing you? Well, you've got to open two sets and merge them. Right. If I go up to this one set, I have no social proof. It's hard. If I work this one set, I have no social proof. It's hard. But if I meet her and say, let me introduce you to some new friends I've met and introduce her to this girl that I've just met that night and merge the two together, they get to meet each other and they get to fight for me. You want girls fighting for you? How can you? Unless you logistically handle two separate sets merging together. Now, I've got to say, that's not bad fucking math, man. Well, so Mysteries now had another 20 years to...

Of perfecting his craft. Yeah. And this guy is spot on. And look, he still got his flare. He's got some corks in his ears. He's got the librette piercing. He's got some wacky little hair on his chin. And it's fair to say, look, most socially adept people, I don't think they think this way, right?

No. But he is guiding you solely for the idea of picking up women. So if you're in a club, And he's like, you meet this girl, and you meet this other girl. What he's advocating for here is you introduce them. So you're like, this is my friend Sarah, is my friend Elizabeth. And then they're both like, oh, like, oh, yeah, I like him. I like him.

You're creating like a little almost game. Of course, because you know it's the most attractive thing to a woman is when the guy's already taken. Guys taken or you, and when you see another woman eyeing this guy. Yep. Like it's creating. So many. I'm telling you, women to look to their friends to approve of their choices in men.

Yes. We do. We go, do you think so-and-so is this and that? Yeah. Okay, good. Like, we need social approval. Right. Otherwise, the relationship's going to be really hard for you to carry on.

If everybody is like... This guy's fucking horrible. Yes. But if the tribe approves, and he's right, you get two broads that are on to you? Yeah. Here's another one of his. A1, open, A2, demonstrate higher values. value. Neg to prime her to want to qualify.

There you go. N. A3, qualify her and then move her into a sit down situation where you can then build comfort with her and C1. That happens over and over and over and over again. And every set is different because people are different. Your material may be the same, but the sequence that you run them will be different. The reactions to your gambits will always be different. So it always feels new. Annie, I feel like you could do something like this. What do you feel like his, do you like his advice? You think it's worthwhile at all? I'm still stuck on A1 and A2 and then you're moving to C1. He's seminars.

He's teaching seminars. He is brilliant now. It's so masterful now at this point. It's really good. I've like, I completely blacked out. Played again. Played again. Because I have to hear the con.

A1. A2. Demonstrate higher value. Neg to primer to want to qualify. A3, qualify her. And then move her into a sit down situation where you can then build comfort with her in C1. that happens over and over and over and over again and every set is different because people are different your material may be the same but the sequence that you run them will be different the

reactions to your gambits will always be different so it always feels new he wants to demonstrate that he is of a higher value a higher caliber than anyone else in the room and then you isolate her right you get her sit down but she has to feel like she's won some great prize by talking to you That's the secret. And that's the nagging bit. If you're like, I mean, you're cute, but you're not the prettiest I've seen or whatever it is he's saying. And then she has to go, I'm not the prettiest you've seen. Like if she falls for that horseshit.

And then she's like, well, I can show you who's a ball sucker or whatever it is. The only time this doesn't work is if it's a woman who's got it together. I was going to say. Like this won't work on a really confident, secure, you know, put, like if you get the insecure girl, like this is going to work. It's going to work. Here's a deal, though. It might work on a secure girl if you don't come with the librette and the black nail polish. Let's say you're like a Wall Street douchebag type stockbrokery guy and you're in the suit and you're looking good and you're handsome.

You could put the girl down and then have her done. You could do that. Your whole aesthetic for how you do this can vary. You don't have to be with things like, you know. But as a woman who's not completely, like I wouldn't fall for this. just because of the aesthetic. I'd be like, this guy's a little too. But the right aesthetic could get you.

I don't know. I'm a genuine kind of gal. You know why I liked you? I'll tell you what always got me. A guy who looked put together, his outfit wasn't completely unhinged or messy or dirty. Hygiene.

Does he smell nice? Does he look clean? Yeah. And also not too eager. Oh, right. I think over-eager is such a posy shrinker. It's such a dryer. You're like, I don't.

Trying too hard. Trying too hard. And you were always very aloof and mysterious, like Jackie Onassis. Like mystery. Yeah. That was the name I was going to use until I found out he was using it. Fucking really? Yeah.

Wow. Yeah. All right, but Annie, what do you think? I'm curious. About this mentalist. No, no. About this guy. No, yeah, the mentalist.

Yeah, he's another professional liar. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm sure it works. You know, if you look like that, you've got to have some sort of crazy strategy. But, yeah, I think the key, you kind of just said it, it's disinterest. This interest is the move. It's the key. It's really, you know, be cool with yourself as a man.

That's all you need. Fuck all these strats, man, that's stupid. I think dissent, not, yeah, dissent or detachment. Yeah, just like, you know, like, listen, like, bitch, I'm doing my own shit. You know, like, yeah, you could be here, you can not. Yeah, it is what it is. I don't care either way. Yeah.

But here's a deal. I got me, so. But any, you have to be an attractive man to have that. Yeah, well. And Tom is attractive. You're attractive. Like, we're all attractive. Oh, thank you.

You got to be cute to do that shit. But he's, yeah, like you said, though, he's for, like, boys who are a little less fair. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Why are you bad to say, why? Why?

Why is it? Why are you hunting that deep? Like, it's not, what do you think you even going to get? Like you said, you're only going to get broken bitches. Yeah, but you understand, too, that the person, the guys that are really signing up for this. Broken. My dad. No, he's right.

My dad does the same shit to women. But the guys that are like sincerely following. Well, they're guys that are not getting chicks. Yeah. So for them, it's a revelation. Yes. Right? They're like, whatever I'm doing isn't working.

Yes. Like whatever it is. So you are looking for a new, you're like, I'm not having any success. Yes. So can you help me have? And it'll build your confidence once you've had success with women, and then you'll learn your way of getting women. You don't have to probably use his technique forever and ever. But you need confidence. That's big with chicks. Yeah, but it's hard to manufacture confidence, right? Sure is. Tom. That's why this guy's like, hey, you know, learn these tactics. Maybe that'll give you confidence.

I know. Ultimately, they're all kind of going for the same goal. It's just different tactics, you know. I know. And I'm curious to see how mystery has adapted to the social media age. the app's age and to now women being like don't talk to me in public because I think now it's considered no it's true there's like I'm I think to come up to a girl and talk to her now is a little more like whoa right that's what I don't know I'm getting well I guess the thing is less people engage in real life socially than 30 years ago because everything's on your phone so you know less people are like hi like they just don't do that well that's why now mystery might be more valuable than ever right because if a guy has the cajones now to like just talk to you talk to me yes you're probably like oh my gosh this guy is really yeah yeah exactly oh there he yeah that's how we

learned that's how we discovered him with that look yeah with his big dumb fucking hat yeah and the goggles yeah but that shit worked it worked dude you had the you had the year down perfectly. It was 0-7-08. Because I remember we were watching this and we just got married. You loved him. We were so into this guy's show. It really is. What's up, bitch? Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break. And we'll be right back. And we are back.

Where am I? Am I at your mom's house? You are at your mom's house. Is this for real? This is for real. Thank you for coming in. I was going to fanboy when I met Tom earlier because I have watched one of his specials so many times that I have absorbed it within my skin. Which one? Completely normal. The hotels bit. Because it hits home about, I don't get, just like you, one-nighters.

So I don't get upgraded. I don't buy first class. I get upgraded. The part where you said, I will put my hand on your chest, bro, if you try to piss in the front. Yes. I will watch that and I will laugh just as hard the first time as the hundredth time. Well, we're always wondering. Community genius, my friend.

No, that's very, that's very nice of you. We're always wondering, where is the flight attendant telling the regulars to like it's okay like no close the curtain and send them back what are we doing here whatever pig trough you got back there but some of those animals will bypass the curtain I've seen them and then they'll still slither up fast track in unbelievable it's wrong fucking balls you know I gotta tell you this is a unpopular opinion but me is a I like to say my wife will say petite I will say European in build that sounds a little less you know kind of hurtful you look great thank you thank you by the time you're very fit you're

is that 27F is a seat that is little known if you don't want to take first class, but it's you have full access at the window. I just ruined. Everyone's going to take the seat instead of me to the bathroom. 27F on any? On Delta, I think it's the air buses. I don't know enough. I'm not deep cuts enough to know this.

Okay. But you have all the same access and better than first class. I don't eat or drink on plane. So maybe that's a thing that ever. Not really. Why not drink? Water even? Yeah, I'll drink water.

But I quit drinking alcohol last year. Such, you know, life of the party would happen. to me. Bert did not like that when I told him that. 27F. Look at that. Look at the leg room. You can fully lay down. Wow. And then you don't need. If you're the window in first class and someone's sleeping and snore next to me, I got to get around them and wake them up that light guilt trip. The worst. Where I'm like, oh, hard hit. Love me out of here. But hold on. Here I have access to the bathroom. Is this the emergency exit row? Emergency exit. I'll save you. Christina P. I'll save you, Tom. If shit goes down. Yeah,

I believe you. I'm a good guy. I really have a lot. So I drink water and coffee. coffee all, you know, all day. Yes. And on flights, man, when I get the window, I immediately get anxiety of like, I'm going to have to ask this person to stand up six times. Right. That's why I love the aisle because you just get up as you choose. That you tell them I'm pregnant right now.

This is totally acceptable. Yeah. It's really crazy. Wait, I want to get this out of the way so people don't forget that we can pre-order your book, read your mind right now. Thank you. I'm assuming it's all the places you can buy books. Everywhere, everywhere.

Yes. It's just like a labor of love. This is years in the making. God, how hard is to write a book? I know you have. This is a big to do, much more. Can I ask you because I know, like, I think people, if you don't know, you're, you're a mentalist, you know, we see that you are able to almost like solve these puzzles that people are blown away by, but you worked in finance before. So, but to make that pivot to change, were you already very into the, like, this is not something that you're like, I'll just try to do this later. Like you're already into it, right?

It was like hanging out one day on the toilet and said, you know what? I want to be a mentalist. So I was doing magic. So it's really important to understand because most people don't know what a mentalist is. I'm happy to tell you about the book because I am not going to teach you

to be a mentalist in this book because that's almost nobody. Like nobody really wants to be a mentalist. You could learn right now. Google it. You'll figure out some tricks. I think that the key to what I do that's actually useful to people

isn't the tricks. The tricks is kind of the packaging is what's important. The skills surrounding knowing how to read people. how to walk into a room and captivate people, how to be memorable, how to win them over. All of these other little tertiary skills, how to know if people are lying to you.

When's the right moment to approach somebody to influence them? Your boss, your spouse, your best friend, right? Those are skills that elevate you because there are other mentalists in the world that do what I do. What allowed me to kind of jump the line and get to the top of the pack

where I'm doing this on the biggest stages on the world? It has nothing to do with the tricks. Other people do them too. It's these core skills that I want to teach people. And the skills. skills are in the book. That's it. The book is about the skills. Break you down exactly that. I mean, how to supercharge your confidence, how to get rid of fear of rejection. Oh, that's great. All these different, how to have a memory. Like most people's memory, they don't realize your memory can be your

superpower. It's what I do all the time. Clearly, your memory is like, I mean, just from having seen some of the things you've done, like obviously you have a great memory. And then you're, I think part of the trick, if I may say so. Yeah, trick. Um, is that your question might seem, like a, oh, this is just something, but you know where your question is going to get you. Like, you're in the information gathering kind of skill set, right? And information planting. Planting as well.

But I'm also the director of my movie. So that's the most important thing, which is I get to point the camera. Interesting. Where I want and I get to avoid the things I don't want. So it's really important to understand. That's why my skills don't generalize. Because if you watch what I do, the obvious question is like, you, man, why don't you just go to the poker table and win a million dollars right now?

And if I'm being honest and I can do these things, why couldn't I do that? Because you seem to think that because I'm able to guess a card in a certain context, I could guess it anywhere. And it's not true. It's contextual. It's contextual. Because I control the procedure when I'm doing it. Should we give you just a great example? Should we have some fun show and tell?

Yeah, of course. Okay. How long have you been married? 30,000. 70 years. What is it? He's counting the days. Oh, eight?

We married in a eight? What's the math? 17 years? Well played, well played. You met her when she was nine years old. You're a bad boy, Tom. You're so sweet. It's actually gross.

So you've known her for that long. Let me ask you a question. Do you remember the name of your first grade teacher? Yes. Have I ever asked you about that before this moment? No. Do you know the name of his first grade teacher? Of his first grade teacher?

No. See? So 18 years, she doesn't know that. How would I know that? Are you blown away? way, if I can guess that right now. Yeah, for sure. But think about it right now.

Think about it. All the information I had coming in, information gathering. You literally said it. Your name, what if I looked you up? What if we did a deep dive before I got here? We ran a real in-depth, you know, fact check, background check. What if we knew where you grew up? It's in your Wikipedia.

Found out where you grew up, found a yearbook. I could have done it. Yeah. It's creepy, though. That's really creepy. So if I do that, haters are going to look through and they're going to find it themselves online, sleuthing. There's chat GPT.

And your first grade teacher also knew they were your teacher. They probably brag about you. Tom Seguer, you've made a big name for yourself. All the other kids in your class probably remember too. So I want to make this impossible. How about this? Something she won't know, but nobody would know.

I'm going to put you on the spot. Close your eyes. Same time period, elementary school. Can you try to picture the face of the first girl you had a big crush on? Yes. Let me ask you a question. Open your eyes. Same way.

First grade teacher popped in your head. You knew it really quick, too, about the first grade teacher for not have been asked before. Yeah. Your first crush before today, when was the last time you had thought of her? Would it have been days, months, or years prior to today? Years. Years.

Yeah. Think of the first name. Count the letters to yourself, just to yourself. Of the first name. Her first name? Her first name. I'm having anxiety. Watch it.

Okay. Look, Tom needed some time with it. He needed to sit on it. It wasn't instant. Yeah. I mean, I used my fingers to count. I was looking for him. I was looking for him.

I was looking for him. He did. Yeah. It felt like, it felt like you did on one hand, but you jumped to the other hand. The other hand, you flex both biceps. Ooh. You've been working out. You've been working out.

I can tell the water cleanse. I've been doing my homework. I've been listening to the show. You did the second hand, which means it was long. It's six letters, isn't it? It's six letters. Yeah. Hang man.

Hang man, six letters. I hate this already. Sorry, I made that one. I made that one too small. Why do you think that all black people react the way, the way baking soda and vinegar do when an illusion is cultural yeah but why i love it i know it's the best i love it there's different ethnicities there different countries that do better yeah uh british people are very funny there's extremes they either hate you or they love you so that's a tough

oh okay yeah scandinavians very under understated but still impressed and they're just like trying to solve it basically some people are germans as well why do men hate magic okay go Men love magic. Think of any one of those six letters. Don't tell me which one. Think of one. God. Okay. You got it? Yes. You didn't do the first letter, did you?

I did. You did, because you looked over, you glanced and you glanced at me real fast. But then you know what you did? You jumped to the last letter. You dirty dog, Tom. Close your eyes, Tom. You literally gave it up. This was going to be a lot harder, just so you know.

He knew it? He got you right? No, but what he did is he gave it away because of the same reaction. Close your eyes. Are your eyes closed? No, no. Close your eyes. Can I just turn this right?

I don't know which cameras showed to, but see there was the same two letters. Open your eyes. You haven't thought of her in years. Yes. What was him your first crush? Andrea. Andrea. Any?

What? That, but so, okay, can I say something? I mean, that's very, very impressive. Yeah. Like, hearing you be, like, the hyper observation of it is the fascinating thing to me, right? Like, the fact that you, like, you saw the arm thing and you're like, it's six because you jumped arms. And then seeing my eyes dart from first to last. And then he has to go through the Rolodex of names that start with the same letter and end in the same letter.

Yes. Right? And there's what a handful of those maybe in the line. Maybe Angela too. Oh, that could have been. And then that's not six. She was in seventh grade. Angela.

Now what made, now that's the part that is that the roll of the dice? Where you're like, is it Angela? Or no. No. No. Because Angela. Oh, too many letters. Yes.

So it's six spaces. Is there another name that could have dropped in there? Like, would you have been like, could it be one of... Two names, Aunt Jemima. I thought you ever had a thing for syrup. That was a phase you went through. But if he hadn't gone first and then last, there's a rolydex of... It's going to get crazier.

This was the worst thing I'm going to do. That was the worst thing I'm going to do. That was my opener, not my closer. Wow. Bam. Coming in hot. Okay. It's very impressive.

I'm sweating. I love it. It's very impressive. You know, who do you have in here? I came in here today. Full transparency. I want them to understand. Walked in.

And one of your producers, I believe Ryan, came in fanboying, told me, can I reveal this? Wish me a Shana Tova. Oh, happy, Rosh Hashanah. Thank you. Yeah, like not overly religious, but, you know, it was very nice of him. Can I reveal this? I don't know if I can. He says, I'm going to a Rosh Hashanah dinner, or I'm going to a service, but I want to come see this thing.

And he said, I'm a big fan of yours. And I said, I want you to make this tough. I want you to make this tough. Is he around here? Yeah. And I said, I want you to think of somebody just, man, think of somebody absolutely around. random. He goes random. I go random. And I said, you know, don't, don't tell anyone. I don't want to write this on a piece of paper. I don't want, I want this in your head in the vault. Is he

around here somewhere? Yes, he is. And he didn't know if you get a shot, but we give him a shot. Is he in the booth? Yes, he is. You can talk to him right in the booth. Yeah, he's right there he is. There he is. Look at that handsome man. Yeah. So well dressed. Let's let's walk through this, Ryan. We can see him in the booth and me. Is that correct? Ryan, you thought of anybody on the spot in the moment you said, who am I going to go with? And you didn't know. Is that correct? Now, I don't know what you've done between now and then. So, did you share this information with anybody? Does this information exist anywhere in the world, but in your mind at this very moment? Okay. Let's try the same thing we did before. But now, here's where this gets

interesting. Now that I did it the first time, you have a tactical advantage. It's like watching somebody run an obstacle course first. Right. You kind of know where the slipups are. The more people you can watch, do it. Now you'd be like, well, you did the thing with the two hands. So I'm not going to count that way. So now he knows reverse psychology on me. So now I got to, watch this. Count the number of letters in this person's first name just to yourself. See, he nodded too fast. It was too fast. That name can't be Mitchell. Everyone struggles with the double else. That was a lightning fast. You have young kids. Do you know what sight words are in first grade? Those are words you don't how to read yet. You look at them. You know them because you know how to

the site. That was a four or five letter word, maybe three, four letters, isn't it? This guy's got the worst poker face in the world. All right. Uh, man, man, man, let's look at, let's look at you. Pick, I think it's a guy. Is it a guy? Because he mentioned he was dating someone. So this is like a fresh relationship. If he thinks of a girl right now, he's in trouble. This is going to be on the podcast. This guy's hedging, hedging, smart. Senior leadership for a reason. Yeah, there's true. Not just all looks. Right. There's brains up there. Yeah, but yes. Ryan, pick any one of the four letters in the name, don't tell me which one. And just imagine that you look down, you wrote it, well, you didn't write anything. But I want to clarify, like, if you had written this on a big

piece of paper and you reach down and you circle a letter in the name, if you got one letter you're focused on. Now, here again, I want to explain to you something. You did the first letter. He won't do the first letter. He won't. It just, it's like a psychological thing. I also said in the word. As soon as you say, in the word, people don't do bookends. They go inside. You didn't do the first or last letter, did you? Which one? Ooh, I'll be damned. Listen. Wow.

Got me. Like you said, man. Got me good. Lots of brains up there. Lots of brains up there. I'm flexing too, by the way. That's good. You look good. I need to work out. All right. Last letter. Can you stand up just a bit? Because I can't see your mouth right now. Let's see what he's whispering over there. I put him on the TV if that makes it easier.

The last letter of this guy's name is I feel as if Ryan didn't want me to screw this up. So he's feeling a little bad right now. He's going down this path of, oh, am I going to be the guy that got him? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right? He's like, oh, no.

So he feels bad for me. But at the same time, he's rethinking his choice. And I'm going to tell you why. When people pick vowels, they kind of get mad because there's only five of them. And it's like kind of in Wheel of Fortune. That's the giveaway. And so now he's going like, God, why did I do a vowel?

And that was too easy. And then they go A, E, I, oh, you? It's an I, isn't it? What the fuck? I think that I put this guy in your head. I think I put this guy in your head. We talked about Rosh Hashanah. You said Shana Tova, said Shana Tova,

flexed a little bit on the Jew card. And then you thought yourself, I've known this guy and had something to do. Israeli name Omri. Is his name Omri? No way. I haven't thought this guy in a second. What if you called Omri right now on the phone?

What if you called Omri right now on the phone? call him? Don't really call him. What if you called him right now on the phone? And he gets on the phone. Ryan's about to faint. Do we have an EMS? We have one of those de-fibs? He's really rethinking dating a Jewish girl right now. He's like, what the fuck are they up to, man? Great decision. You'll never have to make another decision in your life. It's perfect. Listen to me. If you called Omri right now and he goes, and you just told him right on the moment, you said, I got an inside joke or I've got a phrase or I got a word or I got a few words. I'm just going to say something to Omri right now that he's going to go, oh man, I remember that. I remember that. I'm putting

you on the spot, a phrase, a word, number of words, like, imagine yourself saying something to him. Can you see, you're saying something to him right now. Can you see it? Two, three, four, five. It felt like, I don't know how many. Two, three, four. One, two, three. Is it two words, three words? Something like that. Is it three words? Okay, it feels like maybe two of the words are important. I don't know what. Um, yo, come on. I'm watching this right now. Yeah. I know you guys. I'm a big. fan of a big, is this set up? Is this stage? Did we, is there any way in the world I could know this? No, not at all. That he'd be put on the spot that he'd think of somebody and

pick up an inside joke. I wasn't even supposed to be here today. Shouldn't have been here. God is watching. And he doesn't like it. Second word. Does start with an eye? No. Okay, okay. Can you see, can you see what I'm writing? I don't want to make sure in the control booth. I don't know what the second word is. I don't know. Whatever. I'm gonna go with this. Close your eyes. Gang, can you see what I wrote? Yes. You can see? They can see real quick, blah, blah, blah.

I'm gonna guess. If I get this part right, that was just a guess in the middle. So don't give me credit. Open your eyes. Omri calls you. He goes, Ryan, Manishma, what's going on, buddy? And you say to him, boom, three words. What is this story? What did you say to him? It's a music video. The first thing I ever produced in LA, the very last part of the music video was paint on a beach. Come on, dude.

How the fuck? What the fuck? Dude. Wait, how, what? What? You're a sorcerer. Come on, man. This is witchcraft.

Wait, what's the guiding principle to getting you there? I don't understand at all. This is crazy. No, the book won't teach you that one. How the fuck did you do that? Ryan will not sleep tonight, by the way. How did you do this? When he gets home?

There will be paint on the beach under his pillow. I'm gonna puke. I'm like, I want to puke right now. If you puke this video go viral, I suggest it. Can we please do that? Can we get any insight into this?

Like any? How the mentalist tricks work? Well, like that in particular. Like that was fucking bananas. That one is not good for my job security. It's not. Okay.

All right. There's some secrets I retain. That was really insane. Thank you. Yeah. What do you? Okay. That's just so crazy.

He is going to be all fucked up over this. We're going to have to get any at some point. Oh. Yeah. Who's the handsome. with the pseudo-jerry curl in the middle right there. That is... That's Tyler.

No, Josh, sorry. Those are healthy curls, my friend. Thank you. And a stash. Jewish curls. Yep. Right now, I'm serious. Ryan's probably like,

is this what they do on Rush or Shard? That's the first one. That's really crazy. You dip apples and honey and Omri helps you. I mean, the specificity, and it's not even a phrase. It ain't on B. It's like, it's not even a thing.

Can we... How the fuck? Briefly, I think before we saw a... recording, you made reference to mystery. Yes. And when we were playing his clips earlier, it kind of like hit us. We're like, well, that's like of like, you know, adjacent to men. Super adjacent. There's a huge overlap. I don't want to say there's an ick factor to the pickup artist community. Whatever. But so some of the same things they do and they're called indicators of interest.

There's body language reads. There's the way you approach a group and how that are included in my book that have a real Venn diagram overlap, but they're not designed for picking up, you You know, women in this case, they're for establishing deeper relationships with people, be it friends, family. I came up as a strolling magician at restaurants. When I was 14 years old, my mom's like, you know, oh, you got to make money because I was like 13 when I started doing this and folks were divorced and I, there's no money.

I didn't have like cash grown up. So she's like, if you want to buy more tricks, go work, buddy. So I somehow sweet talked to my way into a restaurant gig, half a mile from my house and learn the hard way how much people detest you walking up to them at a restaurant. But when you're like a 14-year-old kid. Hello. Hey, you want to see some tricks?

It's like, no, I want you out of my table. And I learned so much about human dynamics and call it sales 101 at a young age. I bet you'd be an incredible salesperson. So I am a sales person. Right. But I mean like what I'm selling is a very unique product. In traditional sales, you would be amazing. I've been made very lucrative offers at companies that I performed for, corporate events.

And they go, we want you as a salesperson. And I go, man, I'm having way more fun than doing this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. than that, but 100%. The overlap is the exact same thing as sales. Can you give us, like, I know, I mean, I want people to get the book. Sure, sure.

In the book, will you give us, like, a little introduction into one of the things that I think is interesting for people is a lot of people struggle with confidence, right? Like, what's a introductory level confidence boosting exercise that people can do? Or better for, like, you know, meeting people. Absolutely. So one of the biggest mistakes you make, okay, one of them is the same thing from the pickup arts world is confidence is something that's a muscle. The moment you get over,

it's the dread of the dread of the walking up to somebody and going for it eats you alive and the more you wait in that moment, the more dreadful it gets. So true. So it's one of those things where you challenge yourself and you say, tonight, I see a person, I'm going up to them within three seconds and I'm giving it a go and walk up with a question that is not yes or no. Yes or no questions can be shot down. Right. So as soon as you ask a yes or no question, so I learned early on. Let me give you a great example from my world and then we'll see how we adapt it. I'd walk up to a table say, hey, want to see some magic? No. And then right, that's, you nailed it. So right then what I started learning is intro to mentalism, but real life mentalism. What is that person thinking about me when

they meet me? Be brutally honest. So I learned that there was a bunch of questions. When I walked up to you, the first thing you do is your personal space is being imposed upon. People don't like that. You're not the waiter or waitress. Who are you? So who is this person? Then they see you're doing something like, what's there, what is he about to do? Oh my God, he's doing magic. Is he any good? Do they know he's doing this or is he just like walking around? Oh my God, do I have to tip him? Do I have any cash? Like all these thoughts, is he going to stay? Is he going to leave soon? Oh my God. Like all these thoughts race into your mind instantly. So I started learning. I need to take all of those moments of resistance, all of those things they're thinking and I have to attack them quickly and answer them

in the shortest amount of time possible and hopefully flip the dynamic. Now, what do I mean by the dynamic. I want instead of me to be selling them, I want them to be selling me. I want to completely switch it where they want me more than I want them. So I learned that if I walked up to you head on, it's very intimidating. You walk up to somebody at a party like this, right in their face, it's intimidating. But if I walk up to you an angle, and this is from that world, and I say, hey, I'm one foot in, one foot out the door. It's much less scary to someone. And then I say, hey, I've only got a minute, right there. I've only got a minute. So I'm not staying long. That's a great way to do it. I don't need you. You need me. I only got a minute, but did you hear it's your

lucky night tonight? No one ever says it's your lucky night to, I don't want a lucky night. They go, what's going on? Yeah, yeah. So you've hit the dopamine. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding of what's going on tonight? I'm interested. I'm intrigued, right? They're leaning forward. And I'd say, the owner brought me in as a special treat for you guys. And I have something incredible to show you. There's been no question asked at any point in time. Yeah. There's been only indicators of fun, exciting things. The owner brought me in as a treat. So those few words instantly put you at ease. Oh, I have the social currency. This person brought me in as a special treat. Treat. You don't owe me money right now, which is a lot of people's awkward feeling. Oh, God. And that's going to weigh on

you. That weighs on you the whole time. If you're sitting there watching, you don't have money, and you're like, you have tip money. You have two. Oh, God. Right? That's like it ruins the experience. So those exact things that I thought through made it so that within five to 10 seconds are you meeting me at a restaurant, you are at ease, and now I can win you over. Now, that still means I better deliver the goods at that moment, but see yourself at a party or at an event. You're going to go up to somebody who you've been wanting to meet. This person is potentially going to get you a job or might recommend you to someone else

or maybe you're trying to get into some tennis club. I don't know. And at the end of the day, you meet people for certain reasons. And I'm not calling it transactional, but the more people like you, the more they'll want to help you. That's the rule of life. Nobody likes assholes. I don't want to do something for you

if you're a jerk to me. So know what makes them tick and try to be interested in them. I can tell you something from my own personal life that you can apply, which is I've been on all different TV networks. I do stuff constantly

for ESPN and football teams. Not a lot of people do that. For CNBC and Fox business, which are financial networks that typically do not have human interests, they don't have mentalists or magicians. I'm on 60 minutes this season. The last time they had a mentalist,

was on was 20 years ago. There's only been one other one. Why do they have me on? Because what I do is I hold up a mirror on someone else and I make them shine. So when I go on CNBC, I've been on dozens of times because I do stuff about the markets, interest rates, stocks, bonds, things that people watching are interested in. So the more you can make it about the other person, that can be your superpower. Be interested in them. Learn about them. And inherently, that makes you more interesting. And then this is great information. I think it applies like to life. So for the guy who is like watching the pickup artist,

but wants to apply this to like maybe doing something like that without that type of charade, it seems like go up to somebody, like you just got to go for it. Maybe don't approach head on because that could be like a lot like you're saying. And then don't ask yes or no, which I think is a, that's a great piece of advice, right?

Because that can be shut down so quick, like something that you have to expand upon more. And then the next thing seems to be try to make the conversation about the person, like find something. Absolutely. If you can do your homework, if you know anything about this person, if it's fully fresh, then that's a different thing. We have to do a little ad lib. And that's our exercise, right? That's our muscle that we've done comedians, mental appeal that do crowd work. For others, they're not comfortable. But if you can do your homework, do your homework. And let's say you read something. Or in Tom's case, I've just watched a bunch of his content. So it's not something I have to fake. I enjoy what he does. So if you walk in there showing interest. and saying, oh my God, you know, I saw that you guys put out this new product. I love this feature. What made you choose that? I'm so curious.

Wow. Now you've shown that I care about you. I've taken the time, which nowadays nobody does. Yeah. And then you're asking them something that might be of interest to them. And then listen. Yeah. The number one thing people don't do, they don't listen.

Right. They just sit there. And that's your superpower. I think that's a whole chapter in the book. Yeah. It's just what people give me and they don't realize they're giving me active listening. This is something. I see all the time in conversations wherever, like when, you know, we meet people, obviously

everywhere. You're on the road. You're traveling. You talk to people and you realize as you're talking to them, you're like, this person is not listening to anything. Zero. They're just waiting to talk. They're waiting for their turn and thinking the wheels are turning because your brain can't read and write at the same time. It's very difficult. It's kind of like that trick where if you're rubbing this and rubbing this and your leg, your leg goes the other way. It's a, it's your autonomic system. You cannot control. If you were tested this, if you start padding your, you're, your head and rubbing your stomach

and twirling your leg do the opposite your leg will switch directions from clockwise to counterclockwise interesting the gummies just hit right now

I mean to practice on you I mean I hate to like try it later in the bedroom do I practice with you no no no I don't want to practice with you I'm wondering so that is

lipstick come off when it's used appropriately oh I'm gonna throw up I saw the guy with no neck and he says he likes that lipstick I'm working my neck

I'm working my neck so that's honestly one of the chapters in the book is watching people and I've had the good fortune of meeting some of my heroes just one of the amazing things met some of the most successful

influential like call it rich whatever you want I met Steven Spielberg I did his dad's birthday party when he turned 90 I know awesome I get in that room

now I'm going in there to kill it right first and foremost is I want to put my best foot forward but I'm also for the month before I got booked thinking what am I going to ask Steven Spielberg right

I don't know how much face time I'll get but I'm loaded up I'm loaded Jaws question Close Encounters, third kind. E.T. questions. Maybe a Schindler's list, but that's going to bring the mood down. But I've just got some questions. Kind of a bummer.

A little bit. Hey, nice to meet you. So when the Jews were being stacked up. Yeah. So I was geared up to be a little bit of a fan. Like, what can I tell you? That's like my child on him from the 80s. Yeah.

At the end of the show, I didn't expect, you know, Stephen's with his family. It's like intimate affair. He comes up to me, B-Lines for me. And I'm like, hey, you don't play cool. What's up? Yeah, what's your name about? Oh, yes, Stephen. Stephen.

Yeah, I heard you. No. So I go, Stephen. And he just starts bombarding me with questions. Like, boom, boom, all these questions. And we all know the questions we get. I call them the 20 questions. The questions everyone asks you. How did you start? How did you get in? Now, I'm not judging you because that's an FAQ for a reason. Yes. But you also go into autopilot when you hear those because you've answered those questions a thousand times before. I don't fault the people. If you're sitting next to me on a plane, you find out a mentalist, WTF. Also, I'm going to lie to you because I don't want to read your mind for the next three. hours. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he asked me questions. Nobody asks. And he wouldn't, he was naturally curious. And this is somebody who could have flexed a million times over, right? And he could have been like, look what I've done. Look, he at the end of it, there's a chapter in my book. I talked to him for 20 minutes. I was like, at some point I'm like, dude, do you need to go, Steve? He's like, no, no, I'm locked in. I asked him zero questions. I wanted to exchange those digits. I'm like, can I text you later, bro? I got nothing in. And that's when I realized there was a life lesson. That's why he's Steven Spielberg.

Because he is a naturally curious person. And I don't think he just does that to me. He does that to everyone. And his superpower is absorbing those stories from others. And that's why his films are so incredibly authentic. Because he makes real characters. And he finds out what makes you tick and what's interesting about you.

And he probably takes it and silos it for some other time later. But it was like this master class where in the moment I was pissed. But over time, I'm like, that's what this guy does. And also knowing that that moment I will talk about for the rest of my life. Most people he meets will mention this forever. Can I ask you what was one of the unusual questions

that he asked you? You know what I mean? You said that it's not like your standard questions. Absolutely. So like things that just when you were doing this 10 years ago, did you see yourself being where you are now? And it's like one of those those types of questions that are introspective

that make you think of who you were before and where you've gotten to now. But it wasn't based on success or money. like what, you know, this is, it was more of just like, are you doing the things you thought you would do? I'm like, no, I'm trying to do new things. And he goes, why is that exciting to you? Like, just, they were very well formed and thought out questions that made me question my own motives and what I was doing. And when people can do that for you, it's a, it's a blessing. It's a gift. When someone comes up to you and cuts through all your BS and goes through all your

external layers and gets in the middle and starts to figure out who you really are and like, they ask you something that you were like, never thought about that. And it stays with you, Yeah. You remember that person. Yes. You want to be that person. Yes. That's really great.

I'm going to argue that a lot of people don't know how to answer those questions. I guess, but that's, I don't think that that's a bad thing. So for me, I believe that being memorable is the most important thing I do in my career. And I mean, it's not fooling you. Like, when I do a show, like, I'm here. I have a show tomorrow. I don't know, 800 people tomorrow, corporate event. I have another one the same day, back to back.

And I have another one to ask for the next day, going to be crazy. And that one's going to be very high profile. Pretty much the CEO of Ed. every top 50 companies in the world. You name the name, they are there. So it's going to be big pressure. But in that room, I don't care if I don't fool you. Some things you hopefully come up with because that means you're engaged.

Entertaining you is a byproduct. Because a popcorn movie you eat and leave and forget about is entertaining. Doesn't mean you remember it. I want to be remembered. I want you to tell this story the way Ryan will in three years, five years, 10 years, and be like, man, I saw this mental school. Oh, my God. Let me tell you what I.

saw on your mom's house. That's your goal for every show. That's my goal in life. In life. So then, like, will you approach the two-show day and the, and the Aspen day? Okay. The same way. I knew she was thinking number one for the record.

You did? I knew. Will you approach those shows the same way? Like, just, I'm going to do my, but like, or do you have to, like. One of them is a little more high profile, so I'm thinking of what I can do in the room that would be like a crazy challenge. Yeah. where with the room of people

that are such alpha like apex predators within the apex predators of this planet they have to call the shots and they call the shots so rather than me ask him I say stand up I go

let's get somebody in here I don't want to say the names yet because I don't want to it's off the record but just think of the most famous CEO and what if they stood up and said I want to ask you a question

you couldn't know and I go let's go and then we would start to dissect every way it's possible where it's like okay well have you looked this up? Well, no, don't write it down because maybe that's a trick pen. Or, you know, don't get out your phone because maybe your phone is hacked. Maybe every possible way you could do it, I want to get rid of until we get to the moment where I just guess it and they're blown away and I then start telling them the story that

they're going to tell others. And that's very important. That's the chapter in the book, which is memory is malleable. And that's why as a good comedian, your opener and your closer are the most important parts of your set, I would argue. Because your closer, is the way you leave them feeling. Yes. You could have the best set ever. If your closers a dud, we just went off on like such a,

oh. Yeah, and you could have a mediocre set and have a monster closer and everyone's like, and everyone that's all they remember. And the opener sets the tone for the set. Even though sometimes you walk in and I've seen drop-ins where I'm at the cellar

and some monster comes in. You know, Rock is in there. Dave Chappelle, somebody you weren't expecting. And then the person who follows them, you're still riding that high. And they've got to have the right thing that diffuses the tension to bring you back to them.

And I've seen it. I'm going to shout up Mike Vecione, who I love and I know since. And Mike one time, he was on after Seinfeld and Seinfeld crushed it. And Mike got up and I kid you not absolutely destroyed Seinfeld that night. And that's not a testament because I love Seinfeld. They're both like, you know, on my Mount Rushmore. And I've seen Mike for 20 plus years because I'm a comedy fan. And I used to go to the cellar like once or twice a week. But he just brought it back so strong and the self deprecating and the way he played off like, well, Oh, it was not sightful. And just, just you didn't expect it. And when you don't expect, and it just goes through the roof, destroy that room. Yeah. Because, I mean, that's like a seasoned, like, experience pro. Of course. Of course.

This is an open micer. Of course. But I'm saying to come in there where you don't know how it's going to go, that, that's the skill. That's, yeah. Well, the observation you made that I immediately go like, oh, this is like, this speaks to, like, intelligence and experience is, like, the fact that you. you lead with that you know these guys are used to calling the shots yep this is the same thing that you don't have to be the type of person that's going to perform for them that if you make that

observation you also know what what to kind of expect in engaging these guys in other words if you were just walking in the room invited to have a drink going on d and d here i don't know who keeps calling it what's going on here bam bam done if you were just going there to socialize yes it's also important to note these are the types of guys you're going to be talking to and this is the type of person out, like this is what they're used to. Absolutely. Because then you can gauge how you will entertain them or, you know, meet them because that's an important detail about this.

I will up the ante. So if somebody's seen it all before, we need to show them something they haven't seen before. Yeah. And that's, again, I don't want to keep like referencing the book, but if you're going to do something, you need to set the goal of doing something either different than everybody else, better than everybody else, or both. Yeah.

Or you need to set yourself. apart in this world. And lucky for us, we can all do it because we all have phones. Almost everybody listening to this has a phone. And your phone is your platform. We're 20 years ago, good luck getting the message out. Now, there's no excuse. Yeah. You want to learn to do something? YouTube. You can literally learn anything in the palm of your hand. That easy. You want to be a mentalist? I learned. I didn't get bit by like a spider and become Spider-Man. This has been 30 years of training and practice. Really training. You got to commit yourself. Do I get to keep that book? Why not? Full transparency? Fake book. They didn't print it yet.

So it's just the cover. Can I keep that one? No, because I need it for more press. No, I know, I know. Well, I'll order one. I'll do that. I'm going to sign one for both of you. Okay.

All right. And then the cover. This is my boy right here. David Goggins. Oh, yeah. Learn to master the most powerful weapon, your mind. Zoom in on that.

That is the quote I want you to know because that is it. And on the back, we got Mark Cuban. We got Jay Shetty, Katie Kirk and Adam Grant. All genius level people that I don't deserve to have in my book.

That's awesome, dude. All really good folks. Congratulations on that. I'm looking forward to reading this. Or audio book it if you're too ADD like me and you're on the go. Can we do something with Christina here? Let's do it. Let's do it.

Hold on. Can you guess something in another language? Ooh. Have you ever done that before? I have. I have. How many languages do you speak? I don't really very well, but Hungarian.

So I tasked you upon arrival with, with I said to you, because we met right before and I said, what could we ask? What could be a challenge? challenging question that we could ask your husband. Oh, right, right, right. And I said, but good, you don't remember because I think it was percolating your mind. And I said, come up with a couple questions that we could ask him. You don't think he'll know the answer to.

If you were to ask the question out loud right now, which is, you know, if you ask the question, could I know the answer just from you asking the question? Because some of you go, well, what's my favorite flavor of ice cream? Like if you said that, then I could maybe ascertain. Just by you asking the question, is there any way I could know the answer? No. Okay. Okay. I said a couple to me always means two, but some people will interpret that elsewhere, but you nodded. So it's two questions. The first question, ask me the first question that came to mind. Say it out loud. Don't say the answer, but ask him that question. Say it out loud.

What's the question? Best burper I've ever heard. Okay, don't say, do you think you know who that is? I do think I know who that is. Okay, don't do it. Did you have another question? Yeah. Nice, in the chamber. Second question. First babysitter in America.

Ooh, he's struggling. Don't, do you know that person? She's saying who is... She's giving two different questions. Unless your babysitter was the best burper. No. In which case, multi-talented, hope you held out of that person. But you're saying who was your first babysitter?

In America. When you were a child. Yeah. Oh, wow. Do you know that? I don't know who that is. Oh. You don't even know it.

No. Okay, okay. Maybe she's mentioned it. it before, but I don't recall it. Do you have a pen and paper? Yeah. Okay. Do you know that babysitter's first and last name? Not the last name. Okay, so first name only. The burper, do you know first and last name? Of course. But you know the first and last name. Well, here's the thing. Can I, can I comment on something? Don't give away the answer to comment. Yeah. So I think when it comes to the best burper, there is one from our personal life. And then there is one that is notable, like,

more famous. Oh, there's, it's a, it's the, can I tell them, can I give them? No, no, no, no, don't give anything. Is it the notable social famous person or is it the one that we've interacted with on a personal level? Neither. Oh, damn, way to, wait a, way to fail this one. All right, I mean, that's, all right, take.

What she's doing is she's throwing fucking curveballs. Take, do you have a pen? I want your pen, your paper, nothing of mine. And I want to write down the initials of the burper. Can't be in front of me. Hold on, Tom. Will you cover my eyes? Don't do it yet.

Don't do it. Cover my eyes. I hate you. Can you reach over? Wait, I'm covered. I'm looking away. Is there any mirrors or anywhere I could see it? Just their first and last initial.

Did you do it? Let me see it. Yes. You're showing Tom. Don't show a camera. Okay. I already saw it. I already saw it.

You can put it down now. Put it down this way. Okay. All right. Initials. I hate you so much. I hate this. My wife says that to me very frequently.

I'm like sweating. Why are you hate it? I just like, it's witchcraft. Now I feel like I'm a black person. I don't like. Now I'm getting it, any? It's like. All right, think of the first initial.

Yes. And I want you to say the alphabet, like, as if you were doing a sobriety check. You just got pulled over, and they say, say the alphabet forwards. Go. You could do it as a sing song, but say the alphabet. Go. A, B, C, D, F, H, I, J, K, L, M, O, K, K, K, R, T, U V, W, X, Y, and Z. Pacing was good.

It was good. It was, it was, there was a momentary lapse. Then there was the eye open at a certain point. Oh, wow. I think you try to throw me a false. Like you try to throw, you try to chum the water. And I think maybe, it's 25% that I think the letter, but I think you did a fake one.

The first initial is not a T, is it? See, that's where you try to fake me. That's where I try to fake me. Now, think of the last initial. Yeah. And now do the alphabet. Okay. Backwards.

Can you do it? No, I can't do that. Z-Y-X-W-V-U-T-S-R-T-O-N-M-L-K-K-H-G-E-F-E-C-E-C-A. Do I can't fucking do that in the book. Do you learn how to do it in five minutes. You can do it for the rest of your life. Really? I can't do backwards.

Just do it forward again, but go faster. Lightning fast. All right, ready, ready? Go. M-A-C-D-H-H-K-L-L-A-K-K-K. Okay, second letter's an S, isn't it? Oh, fuck it got you dialed in. Second letter was an S.

Definitely an S on that one. Because she tried to do the T, she threw me off, And this time I got it. First one's like weird. It's like weird. Where did you do? It was right on the JK where you tried. But you did it on the J to throw me off is the K.

Is it a K? Did you write KS on that paper? I hate you so much. Can you show them? Can you show that? KS. KS is what she wrote down. I fucking hate you.

I hate you. And now the person you thought of, the person you thought of first babysitter growing up and you were like, can you do this in a different language? Now I think it's not an American name. Now I think this is an American name. Now I think that's something weird. In Hungarian, there might not even be vowels.

It's just like Polish. It's just Z's and C's and S's. The name is Z, S, C, S, S, S, W, S, W, S, W, S, W, S. Yeah. That's what it sounds like. All right, think of her name. Pick any letter in her first name. Go fast.

Pick any letter in her first name in your head. Think of an interesting letter. Get in your head. Don't say. Got it, got it, got it, got it. Yeah. You did, you did a vowel, he did a vowel. You didn't do a vowel.

You didn't do a vowel. You, again, again, so boring. Change, do a different letter. Okay. You did one? Yeah. Change again. No.

She's like, I ran out of letters. It's too short of a name. Okay, I have another one. Go back. Jay, you thought of it, Jay. How the fuck? And I think she had like heavy makeup. How the fuck?

But it sounds like it's with an eye, Naja. Wow, you are turning black. This is fantastic. How the fuck? How the fuck? bro. She was Armenian. Nadia, my first fucking babysitter I'm like shaking. How the fuck

dude? Nadia. Armenian. Bro. That's wild, bro. Okay. I just recognize something too. What? I'm not saying we'll just hold on. Time just got very excited. Jay, how

did you fucking know? I just fucking hold on dude. Just keep going. God damn it. I'm so upset now. We have time for one more? Are we going to do mine? Two more? Are we going to do the other one we did? No, I got to cue up the crew over here.

Any, have we had any interaction? No. Have I asked you to think of a thing before this moment? No, you said think of nothing. Nothing. He walked up to me and he did this. He's like, get out of my head. I was like, I don't want to do anything.

I don't want to even plant thoughts in advance. But did I already plant a thought in his mind? Of course you fucking do. Already. Of course you fucking do. already. So you're over there. Here's what I want to try. Can we get any to come in the room? Yeah, I guess so. Is that all right? Is that impossible?

Come on, Annie, get in the room. I need to lay eyes on him. Have a seat for me, wherever you're comfortable. He needs a mic. Well, it's okay. We can... Should we do a duet here? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can take the fart mic. Oh, take the fart mic. Here you go. Oh, great. Oh. Any... Think of someone. famous.

It could be somebody dead or alive. Dead or alive. Past or present. Some people do movie stars. Some people do athletes, singers, politicians, historical figures, right? Comedians. Take a moment and I want you to see all different

people's faces going through your head and I want you to change your mind a bunch of times. So later on when you rethink this through you'll be like I didn't even go with my first thought. Change your mind as many times you feel like and when you feel like you're good snap your fingers say i'm good i hate this man i hate this there's no there's no fucking way dude there's no way fingers snapped but you're locked in on someone yeah you locked in yeah there's no way this it's impossible i ask you to think of

literally anybody that's ever lived dead or alive how many people went through your head before you ended up on this person. Three. Three. You went this one to this one to this one. All guys, am I right? There was never a female in there. Female?

You would have seen him scratch the beard. And finally, where did we end up? This flannel. Reping a little bit of 90s grunge. It was Kirk Cobain, wasn't it? Shut the front door. Fuck that, man. That's fucking crazy, dude.

Yo, you're the devil, dog. What the go, man? That's crazy, man. That's, I don't want to sit here. That's uncomfortable, man. Why? Why can you do that? Yeah.

Why did you do that? Okay, who's the other? That's it for me, man. I can't top that. I'll leave you wanting more. Showbiz. Unbelievable. Wow.

So, wait, was Kurt his one that he, that's his last minute, that's his last second change? But was the, was Kurt his consideration before, not his final. Final answer? Or was Kurt his final?

Okay. Imagine that when you walked in this room, someone from your life, someone you care about. I don't know where this family member, friend, personal, other, walks in the room right after you. Can you picture as if that person walks in the room right now? Yeah. And rather than me, ask everyone in the room a question, what if you asked me? I say to you, give me a question about that person that I couldn't possibly know, right? A question not about you, because I might have researched you, but how in the world?

Could I know something about somebody else that you just picked at random? Ask me about this person. What's a question about them? what's their date of birth what's their date of birth that'd be nuts right that would be nuts yes if I could do that

and everyone's been thinking of vowels today. Yeah. So did Josh do the same thing as you guys? And I thought maybe he did. You didn't do the first letter, did you? No. You thought that would give it away. And then you pursed your lips.

Watch, we did. Hmm. Maybe the name starts with an M. No, it doesn't. It sounds like M. Emma. Emily. Is her name Emily?

Mm-hmm. Shut the fuck. Are you for real? Yeah. You just thought of Emily. I did. Watch this. Her date of birth.

You ready? I just won the bet. Do you believe me? I actually do. Could you have thought of anybody? Literally, you could have picked anybody. This was anybody in your family, in your life? Sure, yeah.

And then the question was random as well. You know Emily's date of birth? I do. Tell it to us, please. May 30th, 1998. So one more time, if I could just say that. May 30th, could you say that for me again? May 30th, 1990.

I would call that 05. 30 1998. Would you agree? Mm-hmm. He could have thought of anybody. He could have thought of any question. Fuck your mother. He's not going to do that.

Open up the bill. What bill did you have in your hand? Tell us all. You took out, what was it? A $1 bill? Open it up. That came out of your wallet. Can you read us?

And just so you guys know, Tom did not, you did not touch Tom's wallet. Before you've had no contact with Tom's money. Okay, but let me, I know you're not going to tell us how to this. I made it, I might have luckily cupped a buttock when we hugged earlier, but Is that weird? I mean, he's a handsome man. This is so wild.

Can I ask you this though? I know I'm not like, but this is high level, right? High level. Like this is like, this took, how long does it take you to be able to pull off what you just did? I thought of it a week ago. Stop. Yeah.

I think of stuff while I'm running. I run like marathons, ultra-marathons, my side hustle. So I thought it's something fun. I've never done that before. He's gonna be shook up. He's like, I was about to pick my aunt too. He's like, what the hell would you have done if you had. picked my aunt. How the fuck? It's literally, yeah, E 05301-998D. How the fuck did you? Can I say

Jesus Christ, dude. Get out of here. Do you, do you, do you remember the other question you asked me? Yeah, I always leave things hanging. I never know. That's a hanger.

You never know what I'm doing. That's right. Yeah, sure. Decoys. It was all fascinating. Thank you. That was awesome. Thanks guys.

You hold up the book again for everybody? Yeah, absolutely. Pick this bad boy up. I honestly, this was just a lot of years of work and finally me coming to terms of the fact that I have a lot to share and people have been asking me for so many years, how do you do it, how do it, and I want to teach you the real part of how I do it, the part that you can apply to your life. Yes.

And that's it because I want to know, it's not tricks, it's called proven habits for success from the world's greatest mentalist and that's what this book is all about. It's in the self-help motivational space where I want to get you fired up and I want to get you earning more, finding the love of your life, doing things that will actually improve your life using the skills of a mentalist and learn how to think like a mentalist. I'm going to read this. I'm very excited for it. Me too.

And there's good stories in there. Also, it's kind of funny because in like some types of like shows, let's call it like a show, you leave and you go, it's fucking great. I leave this going, I don't know what's going on in my life and I don't know if the laws of the universe apply here. That is fucking crazy, man. I know. And like, you know what?

Your goal of being memorable, you know, also maybe the end of this production company kind of, everyone might go, I don't want to come back in here anymore. So thanks for that.
