- 1:57Speaker 4: I didn't even get the cut. I didn't make a cut.
- 2:00Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 2:01Speaker 3: And didn't you tell us? Before we went on that
- 2:04Speaker 3: your husband wasn't impressed with your audition.
- 2:07Speaker 4: I was doing the audition in the living room and
- 2:09Speaker 4: he kept stopping me and making me rerecord like he was,
- 2:12Speaker 4: you know, Mama Rose. He's a stage mom in the
- 2:16Speaker 4: other room going.
- 2:17Speaker 3: Do it again.
- 2:18Speaker 4: And that's my impression of my husband's voice. He sounds
- 2:20Speaker 4: like he sells newspapers in 1920. He's like, do it again.
- 2:24Speaker 3: You're better than that. He's like, drop the R's. Drop
- 2:28Speaker 3: all of the R's.
- 2:29Speaker 4: I expected more from you. I was like, oh, my God.
- 2:34Speaker 3: Lay off. We weren't able to get a hold of
- 2:39Speaker 3: your audition.
- 2:40Speaker 4: Of course not.
- 2:41Speaker 3: But we will give you a live audition right now.
- 2:45Speaker 3: I think you've got the script in front of you,
- 2:47Speaker 3: so don't disappoint your husband, okay?
- 2:50Speaker 4: Look, I'm going to do my best not to let
- 2:52Speaker 4: him down because he's very abusive.

- 3:08Speaker 4: you ready?
- 3:08Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:09Speaker 4: This is actually an impression of my aunt. Welcome to
- 3:12Speaker 4: Boston Logan International Airport, kid. Front door to the capital
- 3:16Speaker 4: of heart, hustle, and home proud. I already messed it up.
- 3:21Speaker 4: Hometown pride hunt. This city runs on iced coffee, raw ambition.
- 3:25Speaker 4: You got to add the R onto the end. And
- 3:28Speaker 4: unbeatable team spirit.
- 3:30Speaker 8: So let's go!
- 3:31Speaker 4: Whether you're grabbing a lobster roll by the harbor, waiting
- 3:34Speaker 4: in line for a cannoli in the North End, Mike
- 3:36Speaker 4: says crap, heading out to Gloucester for a little salt air,
- 3:40Speaker 4: or paying your respects to the Green Monster like it's
- 3:42Speaker 4: a sacred landmark, because it is, we're wicked glad you're here, kid.
- 3:48Speaker 4: Boston Logan International Airport.
- 3:51Speaker 3: I got to tell you, I don't know how your
- 3:54Speaker 3: audition got lost in the show.
- 3:55Speaker 4: I don't know. I need to speak to someone.
- 3:57Speaker 3: She kind of sounds like Bill's ex-wife. Billy's a son
- 3:59Speaker 3: of a bitch. A little bit.
- 4:02Speaker 9: A little bit.
- 4:03Speaker 5: Not far off. I wonder if she auditioned. I don't know.
- 4:07Speaker 3: She probably did, though. We should give her a call.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Wait.
- 4:10Speaker 3: Do not call anymore.
- 4:12Speaker 10: Thank you.
- 4:14Speaker 4: You need a salty broad, you know?
- 4:20Speaker 3: By the way, we haven't even said yet that Aaron
- 4:22Speaker 3: McGuire is at Giggles this weekend. Is it tonight and
- 4:26Speaker 3: tomorrow night?
- 4:27Speaker 4: Tonight and tomorrow.
- 4:28Speaker 3: Two shows.
- 4:28Speaker 4: Friday, Saturday. One show Friday, one show Saturday. Come and
- 4:32Speaker 4: see me. Be supportive. Eat some pizza.
- 4:35Speaker 3: Laugh.
- 4:36Speaker 4: We want to pack the room. I'm good people. I'm
- 4:38Speaker 4: a good entertaining time. If you saw me last year
- 4:42Speaker 4: at Comics Come Home in the Boston Garden.
- 4:44Speaker 3: We did.
- 4:45Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
- 4:45Speaker 4: Some of you did.
- 4:46Speaker 3: Rave reviews.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Yes.
- 4:48Speaker 4: I'm very proud of the work I did. So come
- 4:51Speaker 4: back and see me. You were so good.
- 4:53Speaker 3: You're at Giggles on Route 1 and Saugus, and they
- 4:56Speaker 3: share the space with Prince Pizza. And We're supposed to
- 4:59Speaker 3: be having some Prince Pizza delivered in your honor. I'm
- 5:02Speaker 3: not making this up. Steve Castroberti, who owns Prince Pizza,
- 5:06Speaker 3: the guy's a legend, as is Prince Pizza.
- 5:08Speaker 2: As is.
- 5:08Speaker 3: He said, yeah, because Aaron's coming on the show and
- 5:11Speaker 3: Giggles is in Prince, we're going to send you guys
- 5:13Speaker 3: some pizza.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Oh.
- 5:14Speaker 4: Are you going to make me eat carbs at 9 a.m.? Well,
- 5:17Speaker 4: here's the problem.
- 5:18Speaker 5: Oh, no.
- 5:18Speaker 4: It's not here yet?
- 5:19Speaker 3: They may have forgotten. I don't see pizza.
- 5:22Speaker 4: Where's the Prince Pizza, everybody? Welcome to Boston Logan International Airport.
- 5:29Speaker 3: Imagine in one moment you failed the audition and they
- 5:33Speaker 3: didn't come with your pizza. This is not going well.
- 5:35Speaker 4: This is a rough Friday.
- 5:36Speaker 5: It's kind of sad.
- 5:37Speaker 11: I just looked out on the table and there's just
- 5:39Speaker 11: some paper plates and napkins that we put out.
- 5:41Speaker 9: Oh, no.
- 5:43Speaker 3: Well, I saw Margaret, Margaret, Marvin leave the studio over there.
- 5:48Speaker 3: There's a possibility he got word the pizza's here.
- 5:50Speaker 4: Maybe they're looking for Margaret. Maybe that's the problem. Look,
- 5:55Speaker 4: I love the Prince pizza so much. Whenever I go,
- 5:58Speaker 4: Mike gives me three pizzas. Prince pizzas to bring home
- 6:01Speaker 4: to my mother because she's addicted to the Prince pizza.
- 6:04Speaker 4: And she didn't want to, like, ask me to bring
- 6:06Speaker 4: any home last time. And whenever I show up in
- 6:09Speaker 4: the front door with three Prince pizzas for her, she's like, oh,
- 6:12Speaker 4: my God.
- 6:13Speaker 3: That's Mike Clark, Lenny Clark's brother. Yes. Runs giggles.
- 6:16Speaker 4: He's an awesome guy. The Clark brothers are part of
- 6:20Speaker 4: Boston history, baby.
- 6:22Speaker 3: Love the auditions over. You gave it your best shot.
- 6:27Speaker 4: I'm just going to keep trying. Chris Denise, he could
- 6:30Speaker 4: not win.
- 6:31Speaker 5: Okay.
- 6:31Speaker 12: Okay.
- 6:32Speaker 3: You may find out, you know him very well.
- 6:34Speaker 4: I won't be surprised. Honestly, when I looked at the
- 6:36Speaker 4: list of people, when, cause I looked and I'm like,
- 6:38Speaker 4: did I make the cut? Clearly I did not. But
- 6:41Speaker 4: then I said, I know that name and I don't
- 6:43Speaker 4: know how. So I'm going to find out. I went
- 6:45Speaker 4: to high school with him or something.
- 6:47Speaker 3: You know, it's sad that You're not going to make it.
- 6:50Speaker 3: And yet it was featured on Good Morning America this morning.
- 6:52Speaker 3: I mean, Voice of Logan has gone national.
- 6:55Speaker 5: Of course it is.
- 6:56Speaker 3: It should.
- 6:56Speaker 4: This is a big deal.
- 6:58Speaker 3: The nightly news. And these are all you could have just.
- 7:02Speaker 4: I could have been a star.
- 7:03Speaker 3: I think your husband might have been right.
- 7:07Speaker 4: Don't ever say that on radio waves for him to hear.
- 7:11Speaker 4: Do you understand?
- 7:13Speaker 3: You have an Instagram segment, Old School Boston. We're going
- 7:16Speaker 3: to run a clip right here.
- 7:17Speaker 13: I love all things old school Boston, and today I'm
- 7:20Speaker 13: talking about frugal fannies, fashion, and shoe warehouse. You were
- 7:26Speaker 13: a gal in Boston in the suburbs, ages 14 to 473,
- 7:29Speaker 13: and you needed a dress for your wedding or your
- 7:32Speaker 13: christening or your quinceanera or your own wake.
- 7:35Speaker 4: You got your fanny to frugal's. Boston's ultimate designer discount warehouse.
- 7:41Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think they're. They're not open anymore. That
- 7:46Speaker 3: was a sad story.
- 7:46Speaker 4: Rip frugal fannies. I think it just sold its last shoe,
- 7:51Speaker 4: I think, in September. It really did. And let me
- 7:54Speaker 4: tell you, if you watch that video to the end,
- 7:56Speaker 4: I say, and women in Boston over the age of
- 7:59Speaker 4: 60 are losing their ever-loving minds over frugal fannies going down.
- 8:04Speaker 4: It is like their tragedy of their Vietnam, you know?
- 8:07Speaker 10: Big time.
- 8:08Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 8:09Speaker 4: They're devastated. There's like these interviews with women and they're
- 8:12Speaker 4: crying in the aisles at frugal fannies being like, where
- 8:15Speaker 4: am I going to get a dress for my funeral now?
- 8:17Speaker 14: I went to frugal fannies.
- 8:20Speaker 3: I went everywhere. Yeah. See, if you were a frugal
- 8:24Speaker 3: fannies person, like, where do you go now?
- 8:26Speaker 4: Well, my aunt was the most frugal of all the fannies.
- 8:30Speaker 4: And I don't know. She's got to go to Burlington now?
- 8:32Speaker 1: Come on.
- 8:33Speaker 8: You know?
- 8:34Speaker 4: I mean, once Building 19 went down, my family's been
- 8:37Speaker 4: falling apart ever since.
- 8:38Speaker 5: Oh, Building 19.
- 8:39Speaker 3: I forgot about Building 19.
- 8:40Speaker 4: Oh, I have a clip about Building 19, a tribute
- 8:42Speaker 4: to them on my old school Boston. Erin McGuire official
- 8:46Speaker 4: on Instagram.
- 8:46Speaker 2: We had so many amazing moments this week.
- 8:49Speaker 1: Normally, this one would be number one, but it has
- 8:51Speaker 1: to go here.
- 8:52Speaker 2: I actually split it up into two parts because the
- 8:55Speaker 2: Voice of Logan finalists came into the studio, all eight
- 8:58Speaker 2: of them. This was a massive, massive deal. And it
- 9:02Speaker 2: was such a long segment that I had to cut
- 9:04Speaker 2: it into two. So this is the first part of
- 9:06Speaker 2: Voice of Logan, the.
- 9:07Speaker 5: Number four moment.
- 9:08Speaker 3: The eight finalists out of close to 6,000 auditions. We've
- 9:13Speaker 3: got the final eight, much like the game show. They're
- 9:15Speaker 3: being secluded in a soundproof studio. At least I think
- 9:19Speaker 3: it's soundproof. We hope so. And the principals are in place.
- 9:22Speaker 3: We have Rich Davies, the CEO over at Massport. We
- 9:25Speaker 3: have the governor, Mara Healy, in studio with us. So,
- 9:30Speaker 3: Governor Healy, welcome. Great to see you here.
- 9:32Speaker 8: Great to be here.
- 9:33Speaker 3: And Rich, I got to ask you.
- 9:35Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 9:36Speaker 3: Close to 6,000 auditions. I mean, this thing went national.
- 9:39Speaker 3: It exploded. What, at the outset, what were you guys
- 9:44Speaker 3: looking for from these contestants?
- 9:46Speaker 5: Authentic Boston, right?
- 9:47Speaker 15: I think one thing we've heard from our customers at
- 9:49Speaker 15: Logan is make Logan Airport more authentically Boston. And one
- 9:52Speaker 15: way to do that is obviously our accents, right? So
- 9:55Speaker 15: we decided to roll out this contest. And here we
- 9:58Speaker 15: are with eight finalists. And you said, Billy, almost six
- 10:01Speaker 15: thousand auditions.
- 10:02Speaker 3: I'm nervous. Are you nervous, Rich? I'm a little nervous.
- 10:05Speaker 3: I'm sitting next to the governor. That makes me more nervous. Yes.
- 10:10Speaker 3: Governor Haley, welcome to the Billy and Melissa morning show.
- 10:13Speaker 3: You and I have spent some time together in TV.
- 10:15Speaker 3: First time in radio, though.
- 10:16Speaker 8: That's right. Lucky me.
- 10:18Speaker 3: Good to know. Lucky me. Lucky us. And Lisa, your
- 10:21Speaker 3: first time meeting the governor, which is very cool.
- 10:23Speaker 8: Very exciting.
- 10:24Speaker 3: So you've been paying attention all along to Voice of Logan, right?
- 10:27Speaker 8: Absolutely.
- 10:28Speaker 16: I think people are so damn sick and tired of
- 10:30Speaker 16: hearing my voice at Logan when I welcome everybody.
- 10:32Speaker 8: And I think Rich is like, we got to do something.
- 10:34Speaker 8: So let's have a contest.
- 10:36Speaker 3: So you're not worried about the competition at Logan because
- 10:38Speaker 3: they'll still be hearing your voice.
- 10:40Speaker 8: You know, in places, right? You're not taking me down.
- 10:43Speaker 8: You're not canceling me entirely, are you?
- 10:45Speaker 3: No, not at all. Not at all. So what do
- 10:49Speaker 3: you think so far? This is kind of a magical
- 10:51Speaker 3: moment for these eight people. This is going to be
- 10:53Speaker 3: gigantic when this thing happens.
- 10:55Speaker 8: I just met them and I said, you guys are awesome.
- 10:57Speaker 3: You're winners.
- 10:58Speaker 16: I mean, you know, thank you for first off stepping forward.
- 11:00Speaker 16: That takes courage to put yourself out there.
- 11:02Speaker 3: And your voice.
- 11:03Speaker 16: And also thank you for marketing Massachusetts. Like we had
- 11:06Speaker 16: an awesome summer world cup, tall ships, two 50 people
- 11:10Speaker 16: came from all.
- 11:10Speaker 8: Over, you know, it was awesome. And we showed who
- 11:13Speaker 8: we really are to the country.
- 11:15Speaker 16: And I think this is another example at an extension
- 11:18Speaker 16: of that.
- 11:18Speaker 8: I'm totally pumped for it.
- 11:19Speaker 3: All right, Justin, let's go. Massport CEO Rich Davies, who
- 11:25Speaker 3: was our first contestant? All right, Billy.

- 15:13Speaker 4: And you've got your Celtics jersey on.
- 15:15Speaker 5: Yes.
- 15:17Speaker 3: And what happened to your voice? Just practicing probably over

- 15:38Speaker 3: She's got some points there. Bonus points.
- 15:41Speaker 5: Exactly.
- 15:41Speaker 3: Just throwing out there. Just saying. What's this been like
- 15:44Speaker 3: for you, this competition, this ordeal?
- 15:46Speaker 10: This is so awesome. I never expected to be sitting here.
- 15:50Speaker 10: I'm from here. There's no reason why I shouldn't be. But,
- 15:54Speaker 10: I mean, a lot of people tried out for this.
- 15:57Speaker 3: And a lot of people are going to be voting
- 15:58Speaker 3: before you know it.
- 15:59Speaker 10: I'm excited.
- 16:00Speaker 3: Do you have a village out there supporting you?
- 16:02Speaker 10: I think so.
- 16:03Speaker 2: Okay.
- 16:03Speaker 3: Cab drivers, unions?
- 16:05Speaker 10: Do you have to be 18 plus to vote? Because
- 16:07Speaker 10: I have a lot of students at school.
- 16:09Speaker 15: Well, you do, I think. But it would be hard
- 16:11Speaker 15: for us to see if they're really 18 or not,
- 16:13Speaker 15: I think.
- 16:13Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 16:15Speaker 3: Well, thanks for participating, and good luck. Thank you so much.
- 16:20Speaker 3: And take care of that voice. Thank you so much.

- 16:59Speaker 3: And you get to meet the governor. I get to
- 17:00Speaker 3: meet the governor, which is pretty cool. Masshole. Big deal
- 17:04Speaker 3: with you.
- 17:04Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 17:05Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 17:06Speaker 3: Born and bred. Is it okay to say Mass Hall

- 17:58Speaker 8: Let's welcome Kristen and Gala.
- 18:00Speaker 12: Whether you're grabbing a lobster roll by the harbor, waiting
- 18:03Speaker 12: in line for a cannoli in the north end, heading
- 18:05Speaker 12: out to Glossa for a little salt air, or paying
- 18:08Speaker 12: your respects to the green monster like it's a sacred landmark,
- 18:11Speaker 12: because it is, we're wicked glad you're here.
- 18:15Speaker 3: Justin, I know you're in a separate studio, and you
- 18:17Speaker 3: probably cannot see Kristen, but I'm going to tell you
- 18:19Speaker 3: right now, she could take me and you down in

- 18:46Speaker 12: of the night, it wasn't working out.
- 18:47Speaker 19: Wow.
- 18:47Speaker 3: How long ago did you lose the voice?
- 18:50Speaker 2: On Saturday.
- 18:50Speaker 3: I rested at all yesterday. It didn't help. Well, you're here,
- 18:54Speaker 3: and that's all that counts.
- 18:55Speaker 10: I did.
- 18:55Speaker 3: I pulled through.
- 18:56Speaker 4: Why should you be the voice of Logan?
- 19:00Speaker 12: I live down on the Cape now, but I'm known
- 19:02Speaker 12: as that Boston bartender.
- 19:04Speaker 4: And, like, you can take the girl out of the.

- 20:07Speaker 3: How's everything in Eastie? Eastie's good.
- 20:09Speaker 17: I'm not there anymore, but I was telling Governor Healy earlier,
- 20:12Speaker 17: the last of our family is pretty much gone, but
- 20:14Speaker 17: we had three generations on Marion Street, Jeffries Point. So,
- 20:17Speaker 17: you know, heavily involved in East Boston for a while
- 20:19Speaker 17: throughout our family.
- 20:20Speaker 3: East Boston's great. They finally did the waterfront over. They've

- 20:25Speaker 3: looking good.
- 20:26Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 20:27Speaker 4: How much fun has this been for you?
- 20:28Speaker 17: It's been a blast, especially because it was just kind
- 20:30Speaker 17: of done on a whim. I didn't even tell my
- 20:32Speaker 17: fiance until I made it to the finals.
- 20:34Speaker 3: And she's like, you're going where? I'm like, I got
- 20:36Speaker 3: to go to the radio. It's my birthday.

- 20:46Speaker 3: And what's her name? Her name is Sarah.
- 20:48Speaker 5: Happy birthday, Sarah.
- 20:50Speaker 1: It doesn't get any better than this.
- 20:51Speaker 3: Wow. Has this been fun for you, though? It's been
- 20:53Speaker 3: a blast. Yeah, this is a cool thing, and who knows?
- 20:56Speaker 3: We might have to do it again. I'd like to
- 20:57Speaker 3: know how he's going to make it up to his girlfriend.
- 20:59Speaker 5: Do you have plans for tonight?
- 21:01Speaker 17: Who we celebrated yesterday, we're going to celebrate today, and
- 21:03Speaker 17: then through the duration of the month, and then we're
- 21:05Speaker 17: going to talk about how awesome it was the months following,
- 21:07Speaker 17: and then we'll get to Christmas from there.
- 21:10Speaker 5: He's going to be fine.
- 21:11Speaker 3: He's ready to celebrate for a month. I like this guy. Honey,
- 21:14Speaker 3: a whole month when I get home. Okay, good to
- 21:17Speaker 3: see you, buddy.
- 21:17Speaker 17: You as well.
- 21:18Speaker 10: Thank you.
- 21:18Speaker 3: And good luck.
- 21:19Speaker 17: Thank you very much.
- 21:20Speaker 3: All right, Governor, who's up next? Last one.
- 21:22Speaker 16: And now our last finalist. She's from Boston and says
- 21:26Speaker 16: she knows the history of her city. Her father even
- 21:28Speaker 16: helped build the Sumner Tunnel. She can't be here today
- 21:32Speaker 16: with us in person, but.
- 21:33Speaker 8: She's joining us by phone. Let's meet Phyllis Thibodeau-Beach.
- 21:37Speaker 19: Welcome to Boston Logan International Airport, front door to the
- 21:41Speaker 19: capital of heart, hustle, and hometown pride.
- 21:46Speaker 3: Phyllis is sounding good. We got her on the phone, though. Phyllis,
- 21:48Speaker 3: you there?
- 21:50Speaker 14: I am.
- 21:50Speaker 19: How are you this morning?
- 21:52Speaker 3: We're great. First of all, thank you for entering The
- 21:54Speaker 3: Voice of Logan. We appreciate that. And how are you
- 21:57Speaker 3: feeling about now? Oh, my goodness.
- 22:00Speaker 19: I'm so excited. This is just a wonderful experience.
- 22:04Speaker 4: Has it been fun for your family, too, knowing that
- 22:06Speaker 4: you're a finalist?
- 22:07Speaker 19: Well, I didn't tell anyone. You know, I kept this
- 22:10Speaker 19: really close to my chest. And then finally I had
- 22:14Speaker 19: to tell my daughter because she would have been my
- 22:16Speaker 19: Uber driver. If I were able to make it to Medford,
- 22:20Speaker 19: but due to circumstances beyond my control with my husband's health,
- 22:26Speaker 19: I wasn't able to do that. So I'm thankful that
- 22:28Speaker 19: I'm able to come on the radio this way.
- 22:31Speaker 3: Now, do you make it a point to travel through
- 22:33Speaker 3: the Sumner Tunnel as often as you can since somebody
- 22:35Speaker 3: in your family actually.
- 22:36Speaker 5: Helped build it?
- 22:38Speaker 19: Well, they absolutely helped work on it. My father came
- 22:41Speaker 19: here in 1948. He helped build the Callahan Tunnel. He
- 22:44Speaker 19: worked on the Peru Tunnel. John Hancock, and actually Mystic
- 22:49Speaker 19: River Bridge. I don't have any apprehension about going through
- 22:53Speaker 19: the tunnel from the story that he told us, but
- 22:55Speaker 19: it made my sister claustrophobic. He talked about how they
- 23:00Speaker 19: used compressed air, and they actually had to decompress like
- 23:04Speaker 19: deep-sea divers when they came out because of how they.
- 23:07Speaker 3: Were doing with the water.
- 23:09Speaker 4: It's a history lesson.
- 23:10Speaker 3: Every time any of us is driving through the city,
- 23:13Speaker 3: we have to thank you and your family. All right, well,
- 23:17Speaker 3: we'll see what happens. The voting is about to begin,
- 23:19Speaker 3: but Phyllis, thank you so much for joining the competition.
- 23:23Speaker 8: Oh, you're very welcome.
- 23:24Speaker 3: It's my pleasure. Okay.
- 23:27Speaker 5: Wow.
- 23:27Speaker 3: So Rich Davies, now what happens?
- 23:29Speaker 5: Well, you've got eight tough ones, right?
- 23:31Speaker 15: So we, of almost 6,000 folks, here are our finalists.
- 23:36Speaker 15: We're going to be putting this out to a public
- 23:37Speaker 15: vote starting on.
- 23:38Speaker 3: The 24th through the 28th of October.
- 23:41Speaker 15: And we will be back in studio with you in
- 23:43Speaker 15: early November, I think the 5th, to announce the winner.
- 23:48Speaker 15: And then we will immediately be recording and you'll hear
- 23:50Speaker 15: a voice, one of these voices at Logan come the holidays.
- 23:54Speaker 2: Wow.
- 23:55Speaker 4: That's a quick turnaround.
- 23:56Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 23:56Speaker 3: Boy, you guys work fast.
- 23:58Speaker 5: We try.
- 23:58Speaker 3: I'm still trying to imagine you sitting around going through 6,000.
- 24:01Speaker 3: Did you divide them up or something?
- 24:03Speaker 15: Yeah, we had about 35 folks listening to them. I
- 24:06Speaker 15: have to be truthful. I maybe listened to the top 20,
- 24:09Speaker 15: so I didn't break a sweat. But there were a
- 24:11Speaker 15: few folks in my team who did.
- 24:12Speaker 3: Madam Governor, I have to have you talk to us
- 24:15Speaker 3: about this past summer and what it was like to
- 24:17Speaker 3: be in the state of Massachusetts and the city of
- 24:19Speaker 3: Boston with everything that was going on with the tall
- 24:21Speaker 3: ships and the World Cup and everything else. It was
- 24:23Speaker 3: a magic time.
- 24:24Speaker 8: It was the best. And Massport gave us the world
- 24:27Speaker 8: record soccer ball. I want to thank you, Rich, for that.
- 24:29Speaker 8: That was a hit.
- 24:30Speaker 3: Oh, the giant soccer ball.
- 24:31Speaker 8: That was Massport. That was Rich D.
- 24:33Speaker 11: OK.
- 24:33Speaker 8: And you outdid yourself with this.
- 24:36Speaker 16: I think, you know, as I was saying, I was
- 24:38Speaker 16: so proud of Massachusetts. I was so proud to be
- 24:41Speaker 16: from Massachusetts, right? And we're just in a moment where
- 24:44Speaker 16: I think people are looking for joy, right? A little joy,
- 24:46Speaker 16: a little happiness.
- 24:47Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
- 24:48Speaker 8: To have people all come together. It was great to
- 24:50Speaker 8: have the bars open late.
- 24:51Speaker 16: It was great to have open spaces where people could
- 24:53Speaker 16: hang out and party and watch these games and celebrate.
- 24:56Speaker 16: And that's the vibe I want to continue, not just
- 24:59Speaker 16: in Boston, but across Massachusetts. That's You know, people need
- 25:02Speaker 16: that right now, and I'm totally, totally supportive. So, look,
- 25:05Speaker 16: whoever doesn't make it, I'm thinking I want them doing
- 25:08Speaker 16: my press conferences.
- 25:08Speaker 8: Wouldn't that be great?
- 25:10Speaker 3: Okay, so there's a chance for another career.
- 25:12Speaker 5: That's right.
- 25:13Speaker 3: You just heard it from the governor. Governor Haley, we
- 25:14Speaker 3: can't thank you enough for coming in and being a
- 25:16Speaker 3: part of this.
- 25:17Speaker 8: Thanks for having us. This is great.
- 25:18Speaker 3: And Rich, we'll be seeing you again. But thanks to
- 25:20Speaker 3: everybody at Massport. Again, when's the voting start and how?

- 25:54Speaker 2: I'm producer Riley counting down the top five moments of
- 25:56Speaker 2: the week with you. Let's get into the number two moment. Because, again,
- 26:00Speaker 2: I had to split something into two parts. We had
- 26:04Speaker 2: Christopher Wayne in studio. He is a mentalist and a magician,
- 26:08Speaker 2: but he's also a comedian. We had so much fun
- 26:11Speaker 2: with him. We talked to him for like, I'm not
- 26:12Speaker 2: even kidding, 15 minutes. And I want you to hear
- 26:14Speaker 2: the whole thing. So this is Christopher Wayne's part one.
- 26:17Speaker 3: Oh, my God. This is so cool. So Christopher Wayne
- 26:20Speaker 3: is a magician slash mentalist, and he's hosting Halloween themed
- 26:24Speaker 3: magic shows at the Fabulous House. Liberty Hotel, the entire
- 26:29Speaker 3: month of October. I'm excited because, Christopher, I just want
- 26:33Speaker 3: to tell you, we've had a magician in studio. Magicians, plural.
- 26:37Speaker 3: We've had a mentalist in studio. We've never had both
- 26:40Speaker 3: in one.
- 26:40Speaker 5: Were any of them from Australia? And none from Australia.
- 26:43Speaker 3: And I don't want to hear.
- 26:44Speaker 5: Their names spoken in this studio.
- 26:45Speaker 7: Okay.
- 26:46Speaker 3: Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.
- 26:47Speaker 5: Christopher Wayne from the Theatre of Magic has arrived.
- 26:50Speaker 3: Oi, oi, oi. I forgot.
- 26:51Speaker 5: It's been so long. I've been living here so long.
- 26:53Speaker 3: That was like you left my high five hanging right there.
- 26:56Speaker 5: I'm so sorry. It's like my dad on my birthday.
- 26:58Speaker 5: Just out the door.
- 26:59Speaker 3: I apologize. Well, God, there's nothing I like more than
- 27:03Speaker 3: the Australian accent. I could talk to you all day.
- 27:06Speaker 3: Thank you. Not in a weird way or anything. It's fake.
- 27:09Speaker 3: I'm from Denver. You live around here now?
- 27:13Speaker 5: I live in Boston. I'm a professional magician of 22 years.
- 27:16Speaker 5: I live down above TD Garden.
- 27:19Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 27:19Speaker 5: And I've been doing magic shows at the Liberty every
- 27:22Speaker 5: week for the last year and a half now. Theater
- 27:25Speaker 5: of Magic is the show that I opened here.
- 27:26Speaker 3: Okay.
- 27:27Speaker 5: But I'm a Boston guy now.
- 27:28Speaker 3: Okay. We're going to get to the magic. We're going
- 27:30Speaker 3: to get to the mandolin stuff.
- 27:31Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 27:31Speaker 3: Because we all get very nervous around you the minute
- 27:33Speaker 3: you walked in.
- 27:34Speaker 5: Don't be nervous. Is it because I came in naked?
- 27:36Speaker 3: No, it's because upon meeting you, you started telling us
- 27:40Speaker 3: that you were obsessing about having sex with Martha Stewart.
- 27:43Speaker 5: No, it wasn't just the lovemaking. It just came out
- 27:45Speaker 5: of nowhere. Lovemaking, passionate, okay, firstly. But it wasn't just that.
- 27:50Speaker 5: It was just getting, I want to know Martha. Like,
- 27:54Speaker 5: it's not just the end game. That's not what you said.
- 27:57Speaker 4: No, he said he wanted to slide into her DMs
- 28:00Speaker 4: because she recently started following him.
- 28:02Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 28:03Speaker 5: And I just want to say hi. Why did you
- 28:05Speaker 5: follow me and would you like to give me a
- 28:07Speaker 5: green card?
- 28:08Speaker 3: It's just a normal conversation.
- 28:10Speaker 5: Because I think I'm scared of the no. Actually, I'm
- 28:13Speaker 5: scared of being left on read by Martha. That's worse
- 28:15Speaker 5: than the no. Why did you nod? It's like you
- 28:18Speaker 5: know it's going to happen.
- 28:19Speaker 3: That's what it's around.
- 28:20Speaker 15: It's like.
- 28:21Speaker 1: I'm not putting that in the universe for you.
- 28:23Speaker 5: Why did you nod so? Yeah, she's going to leave him.
- 28:25Speaker 4: No, I get it.
- 28:26Speaker 1: That would be my fear too.
- 28:27Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 28:28Speaker 5: And then there's no coming back from that.
- 28:29Speaker 3: Right now I'm winning.
- 28:30Speaker 4: But as a mentalist, you might want to like read
- 28:33Speaker 4: her mind.
- 28:34Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. Not bad.
- 28:36Speaker 19: Right?
- 28:36Speaker 3: That hadn't crossed your mind, Christopher? No, I don't.
- 28:40Speaker 5: Like, I'm single, but I don't normally use magic to
- 28:42Speaker 5: hit on girls. Maybe I should start.
- 28:44Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 28:45Speaker 5: I've just been leaning on that.
- 28:46Speaker 3: You haven't even used it yet? It's just a fake
- 28:47Speaker 3: accent that I use. Oh, if I were you, I'd
- 28:49Speaker 3: use it everywhere. Yeah, maybe. I don't know. I don't know.
- 28:53Speaker 5: I think magic's an ick in the dating world.
- 28:56Speaker 3: I'm not sure. Well, you're going to find out and
- 28:58Speaker 3: get back to us. Yeah, all right.
- 29:00Speaker 5: If I come back on the show with a plate
- 29:02Speaker 5: full of muffins or brownies, it means things.
- 29:04Speaker 3: Went well with Martha. Beautifully wrapped. Yeah. Yes. Okay, so
- 29:10Speaker 3: you've been in the room with us now for long enough.
- 29:14Speaker 3: As a mentalist, I thought it was weird when I
- 29:16Speaker 3: met you outside the studio. You immediately started staring into
- 29:20Speaker 3: my eyes. Are you reading stuff from us all the time?
- 29:23Speaker 5: No, I was shaking your hand and looking you in
- 29:25Speaker 5: the eyes when I did it because I'm an old
- 29:27Speaker 5: school fella.
- 29:27Speaker 3: You're doing that thing again.
- 29:29Speaker 5: I promise I'm very normal offstage. When I'm on stage
- 29:33Speaker 5: at the Theatre of Magic, we are doing the impossible
- 29:36Speaker 5: live in a 60-seat theatre.
- 29:38Speaker 3: But, like, no, right now I'm just looking at you normally.
- 29:40Speaker 5: These are my normal eyes.
- 29:41Speaker 4: You're staring them.
- 29:42Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Well, I'll look at you instead. Hello. Hi. Yeah,
- 29:45Speaker 3: I'll just stare back. This is good.
- 29:47Speaker 5: You're like an East Coast Martha.
- 29:48Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 29:52Speaker 3: I could be. He's doing that thing. He's staring in
- 29:55Speaker 3: your eyes.
- 29:55Speaker 5: Guys, it's my face. It's how I look at people.
- 29:57Speaker 3: I don't know. Okay, so what do you have on
- 29:58Speaker 3: us so far? Mentalist-wise, what do you have on us
- 30:02Speaker 3: so far?
- 30:03Speaker 5: I don't know. I mean, only the things we talked about, really.
- 30:06Speaker 5: I know that you like reading and you have a
- 30:08Speaker 5: book club.
- 30:08Speaker 19: Yes.
- 30:10Speaker 5: And I think you're married, right?
- 30:12Speaker 3: Yes, I am.
- 30:12Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 30:13Speaker 3: I'm not sure you are. I'm divorced. I did ring
- 30:16Speaker 3: check when I came in.
- 30:16Speaker 5: On both of you.
- 30:17Speaker 19: Yeah.
- 30:18Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 30:18Speaker 5: And that's like all I've got. I think you're like 5'11.
- 30:21Speaker 5: We talked about that. But I haven't read anything about
- 30:23Speaker 5: you on the deep side.
- 30:24Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
- 30:25Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 30:25Speaker 3: Or maybe I haven't.
- 30:26Speaker 5: I'm just keeping it under my shirt until it's magic time.
- 30:29Speaker 5: You never know.
- 30:29Speaker 3: Are you saying I'm a blank space? Yeah.
- 30:32Speaker 5: I tried to get inside your head and it sounded like,
- 30:34Speaker 5: do you remember old school radios when you go between
- 30:36Speaker 5: the stations?
- 30:37Speaker 3: Static.
- 30:38Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 30:39Speaker 5: And the theme song for the Flintstones was just whistling
- 30:42Speaker 5: in there.
- 30:42Speaker 3: It was weird. Okay.
- 30:43Speaker 2: All right.
- 30:44Speaker 3: Are you spending the whole month at the Liberty Hotel?
- 30:46Speaker 5: No, I do three shows there a week, every week
- 30:49Speaker 5: for a year and a half.
- 30:51Speaker 3: What?
- 30:52Speaker 5: Yeah, it's the number one magic experience on the East Coast.
- 30:55Speaker 3: Oh, I thought it was the month of October. So
- 30:57Speaker 3: October is just.
- 30:57Speaker 5: The Halloween theme. It's the Halloween theme for the month
- 31:00Speaker 5: of October. But Boston's Theater of Magic is now the
- 31:04Speaker 5: biggest magic experience in the world. The show that we've
- 31:07Speaker 5: got in Boston, we've opened 20 across the United States
- 31:10Speaker 5: in the last year. Yeah, doing intimate magic in five-star hotels.
- 31:14Speaker 5: But the number one, the flagship, is here at the
- 31:16Speaker 5: Liberty Hotel with me, Christopher White.
- 31:18Speaker 3: God, you're the new Blue Man Group.
- 31:20Speaker 5: This could go on for years with you.
- 31:24Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe.
- 31:25Speaker 5: I look good in a bald cap, I've been told. Yeah,
- 31:29Speaker 5: but right now I think you get cancelled for wearing
- 31:31Speaker 5: blue face on the East Coast.
- 31:33Speaker 10: I don't know.
- 31:34Speaker 3: I wasn't aware of that. Do we? No, I'm kidding.
- 31:37Speaker 3: It's a joke. I have to cancel my plans for tonight.
- 31:40Speaker 5: I'm very nervous. Yeah, that's the quietest I've heard a
- 31:43Speaker 5: radio station in a while.
- 31:45Speaker 3: You're safe. It's fine. Okay.
- 31:47Speaker 12: I'll see.
- 31:47Speaker 3: I'll see. I'll see. Oh, yeah. Good day, mate.
- 31:52Speaker 5: My culture is not your holiday.
- 31:54Speaker 3: Whoever played that. We won't believe this.
- 31:56Speaker 11: You know who's on the phone right now? Martha Stewart.
- 31:59Speaker 4: Oy, oy, oy.
- 31:59Speaker 8: I really don't care what you're talking about.
- 32:03Speaker 10: I just want to hear you talk.
- 32:05Speaker 3: That Australian accent. I don't think that's Martha.
- 32:08Speaker 14: Yummy.
- 32:09Speaker 5: And I know that's not Martha because I spent too
- 32:11Speaker 5: long looking at her Instagram.
- 32:12Speaker 3: But she said yummy.
- 32:14Speaker 5: Yeah, she did. That's a start. Yeah, it is a start.
- 32:16Speaker 5: But I don't think the she was the she.
- 32:17Speaker 3: That we wanted. No, it's not Martha.
- 32:20Speaker 5: I think that was a Brooklyn cab driver.
- 32:21Speaker 3: What do you think is really going on with Martha
- 32:23Speaker 3: and Snoop Dogg? This interview. I don't know.
- 32:28Speaker 5: But I think if it was like a did they,
- 32:31Speaker 5: didn't they hook up, they surely would have.
- 32:33Speaker 4: Well, they get high together, right?
- 32:35Speaker 5: Yeah, allegedly. And if they get high together, I feel
- 32:38Speaker 5: like it just makes sense. It makes sense on paper.
- 32:42Speaker 5: If I was at a roulette wheel, all in on
- 32:44Speaker 5: Snoop and Martha.
- 32:45Speaker 3: Do you know that? I know this is a strange interview,
- 32:47Speaker 3: but do you? No, it's not. What are you talking about?
- 32:51Speaker 3: Do you know that Snoop Dogg just didn't confirm this
- 32:53Speaker 3: for me. Snoop Dogg has a guy that is paid
- 32:58Speaker 3: full-time 24 hours a day just for rolling his joints
- 33:03Speaker 3: all day. And it's a lot of money. Isn't it $ 150, 000?
- 33:06Speaker 3: That's $ 50, 000 a year.
- 33:09Speaker 5: That's not an ambitious job.
- 33:13Speaker 3: I don't know. That's not chasing the American dream.
- 33:15Speaker 5: Or maybe it is.
- 33:16Speaker 3: But I just feel like.
- 33:17Speaker 5: There's no room for growth in a job like that.
- 33:19Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 33:20Speaker 5: One guy has the joints.
- 33:21Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe he likes it.
- 33:22Speaker 2: It's the best Billy and Lisa in the morning. So
- 33:24Speaker 2: here is the number one moment. Christopher Wayans was in studio.
- 33:29Speaker 2: He is a mentalist, a magician and a comedian. We
- 33:32Speaker 2: had so much fun with him. Just a couple minutes ago,
- 33:35Speaker 2: we played part one of this interview because it was
- 33:37Speaker 2: so long and I wanted you to hear the whole thing.
- 33:39Speaker 1: So this is part two. And this is when the
- 33:42Speaker 1: magic happens.
- 33:43Speaker 9: Literally.
- 33:43Speaker 3: Can you give us a magic trick for our listeners?
- 33:46Speaker 3: Will it work on radio?
- 33:47Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll give you guys one, actually. I brought in
- 33:49Speaker 5: a really interesting mentalist trick to do on air. I'd
- 33:53Speaker 5: love you both just to think of any number between
- 33:55Speaker 5: 1 and 100. We're only going to use one of them,
- 33:57Speaker 5: but presumably if you think of a number and you
- 33:59Speaker 5: think of a number, I'm going to get two different
- 34:01Speaker 5: numbers here. So who's going to be the person that
- 34:03Speaker 5: decides on what number we use?
- 34:06Speaker 3: Um, Lisa, I've already got one in my head, but Lisa,
- 34:08Speaker 3: do you have one? Okay. Okay.
- 34:10Speaker 5: Look, this is a trick that I've made just for
- 34:11Speaker 5: you guys today. I'm not going to give too much away,
- 34:14Speaker 5: but I've got a list on my phone of 100 things, Boston,
- 34:17Speaker 5: the places, people, the foods, things that just iconic with
- 34:21Speaker 5: this city. If we were to have any number between
- 34:23Speaker 5: one and 100, what would you say?
- 34:25Speaker 4: I have to give you my number. Yeah.
- 34:27Speaker 5: I'm not that good. I'm not guessing your number.
- 34:33Speaker 3: Don't worry.
- 34:33Speaker 5: That would be such a boring trick. We're going to
- 34:35Speaker 5: go better than that.
- 34:35Speaker 4: All right.
- 34:36Speaker 1: So my number was 50.
- 34:37Speaker 3: Do you want to keep 50 or change it to another?
- 34:39Speaker 4: I'm going to keep 50.
- 34:40Speaker 5: I'm going to open my phone here and I'm going
- 34:43Speaker 5: to hand you my phone. Can you open my notes
- 34:45Speaker 5: app there? If that's okay. It's right there on the screen.
- 34:48Speaker 5: The second list down, there's one called Boston.
- 34:50Speaker 2: Yes.
- 34:50Speaker 5: Can you open that? And it's 100 Boston things numbered
- 34:53Speaker 5: 1 to 100. Yes.
- 34:54Speaker 3: As you scroll through, can you read out some of
- 34:56Speaker 3: them randomly?
- 34:57Speaker 19: Oh, yeah.
- 34:58Speaker 5: Just so we know they're all different.
- 34:59Speaker 16: Sam Adams, Castle Island, Roxbury, The Hatshell, Boston Cream Pie,
- 35:03Speaker 16: Boston Tea Party.
- 35:05Speaker 5: All these different Boston things.
- 35:06Speaker 3: Sure. What number did you say?
- 35:07Speaker 5: 50?
- 35:08Speaker 3: 50.
- 35:08Speaker 5: What's 50? Masshole. That's one of my favorite terms here.
- 35:12Speaker 5: And it describes, like, I love America and Boston so much.
- 35:16Speaker 5: Are either of you guys massholes?
- 35:18Speaker 3: Um, I don't know.
- 35:20Speaker 10: Am I?
- 35:21Speaker 3: Um, yeah, a little bit. I guess we all are. Yeah.
- 35:24Speaker 3: So obviously some people call me the other one.
- 35:26Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 35:26Speaker 3: Oh dear.
- 35:27Speaker 5: That's not the trick, but I told you guys before
- 35:29Speaker 5: that maybe I had the magic under my shirt.
- 35:31Speaker 3: You said mass.
- 35:32Speaker 5: All right.
- 35:32Speaker 7: Yes.
- 35:32Speaker 3: Okay.
- 35:33Speaker 5: I'm wearing a sweater right now. I'll let you guys
- 35:35Speaker 5: describe what's happening. I'm going to stand up, take my
- 35:37Speaker 5: headphones off and take my jumper off my sweater off. Okay.
- 35:41Speaker 3: Taking this too bad.
- 35:43Speaker 4: It's a sweatshirt.
- 35:45Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
- 35:46Speaker 2: Okay.
- 35:47Speaker 3: I'm wearing a T-shirt.
- 35:48Speaker 8: Okay.
- 35:49Speaker 5: And the T-shirt says one thing.
- 35:50Speaker 3: It says Masshole on it. Oh, man. No, no, no. Okay. No, no, no, no, no.
- 35:56Speaker 8: This is crazy.
- 35:57Speaker 4: Lisa, you can't even look at them.
- 36:00Speaker 1: This is freakish.
- 36:01Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 36:03Speaker 5: My underpants say Boston Cream Pie in case.
- 36:06Speaker 3: You picked that one. That's the comical stylings, by the way,
- 36:12Speaker 3: of Christopher Wayne.
- 36:12Speaker 5: My Sam Adams socks.
- 36:14Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 36:14Speaker 5: I need to remind everybody.
- 36:15Speaker 3: We're talking with Christopher Wayne, and he's at the Liberty
- 36:18Speaker 3: Hotel for the year?
- 36:20Speaker 5: Permanently. Boston's Theater of Magic, yeah. Wow. BostonTheaterOfMagic.com. World-class magic,
- 36:25Speaker 5: five-star hospitality. And when are the shows this week? This week, Thursday, Friday,
- 36:29Speaker 5: two shows Saturday. Oh, you're just speechless.
- 36:33Speaker 8: I can't believe it.
- 36:34Speaker 5: And I want you guys, when you think back about
- 36:35Speaker 5: this later, there are a hundred things to choose from.
- 36:37Speaker 5: We could have had, we chosen a different number.
- 36:40Speaker 3: Oh, do you want my number?
- 36:42Speaker 5: Sure.
- 36:43Speaker 3: Your cell number. Let's go. You, me, and Martha.
- 36:47Speaker 14: Oh, boy.
- 36:48Speaker 3: Martha's got herself a party now, boy. You really want
- 36:51Speaker 3: the number I had in mind?
- 36:53Speaker 9: Sure.
- 36:54Speaker 14: Like.
- 36:54Speaker 3: Yeah, 69.
- 36:56Speaker 5: Oh, wow.
- 36:56Speaker 3: Oh, my God. Are you serious? It's what came to mind.
- 36:59Speaker 3: That was the number? What is wrong with that? It's
- 37:02Speaker 3: a number like any other. Chris, I apologize. It's a
- 37:04Speaker 3: judgment-free zone.
- 37:06Speaker 5: I don't do crude and crass American humor.
- 37:08Speaker 3: I can't believe it. That's not what I'm doing. It's
- 37:10Speaker 3: a family show, bud. You know what?
- 37:12Speaker 5: At least you didn't say 6-7.
- 37:14Speaker 3: You would have been out the door.
- 37:15Speaker 5: Out the door so fast. So fast.
- 37:18Speaker 10: This is insane.
- 37:19Speaker 3: Yeah, so mentalist-wise. Is there a favorite thing, the thing
- 37:24Speaker 3: you're known for the most in the mentalist world, so
- 37:27Speaker 3: to speak? Not really.
- 37:29Speaker 5: Actually, that's a lie. The thing I'm actually known for
- 37:31Speaker 5: is comedy mentalism. So I've spent the last 22 years
- 37:34Speaker 5: taking traditional magic tricks and making them as funny as
- 37:37Speaker 5: I possibly can on stage. So like anything you see
- 37:39Speaker 5: in my show that doesn't amaze you is comedy. And
- 37:43Speaker 5: that's what I'd remind the audience at the start of
- 37:45Speaker 5: every show. But I think magicians and mentalists are too serious,
- 37:49Speaker 5: and I just love making my audience laugh. It's the
- 37:52Speaker 5: thing that I can do better than most magicians working
- 37:54Speaker 5: right now. So I combine the mentalism with the magic.
- 37:57Speaker 5: So I'm inside your head, but you're laughing as well,
- 37:59Speaker 5: and we've got the whole room in tears for 90
- 38:01Speaker 5: minutes straight. It's the coolest thing ever.
- 38:04Speaker 3: Okay, so pretend this is your closing number.
- 38:06Speaker 7: Okay?
- 38:07Speaker 3: This is the big show tonight. This is the last thing.
- 38:10Speaker 3: You're going to knock them out of their shoes with
- 38:12Speaker 3: the closing number, and here it comes. What is it?
- 38:15Speaker 5: Are you making me do something else right now on
- 38:17Speaker 5: the spot? Okay, no, I'll do it. I'll do it.
- 38:19Speaker 3: I'll do it.
- 38:20Speaker 5: I'll do it.
- 38:20Speaker 3: I'll do it. Okay, he's got the cards ready.
- 38:21Speaker 5: Really quickly, here's what I got. Can you guys see
- 38:24Speaker 5: that these playing cards are all different? And that's going
- 38:26Speaker 5: to be really important. They're not all just the same.
- 38:28Speaker 3: Yeah, okay.
- 38:30Speaker 5: As I just roll through, can you just say the
- 38:31Speaker 5: word stop as I run my thumb down the side?
- 38:32Speaker 5: Are you going to pick a random card? I'll look
- 38:34Speaker 5: this way.
- 38:34Speaker 3: He's looking the other way. Okay, stop.
- 38:37Speaker 5: Okay, fantastic. Can you look at that card? Can you
- 38:41Speaker 5: remember it for me?
- 38:42Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 38:42Speaker 3: Stick it straight back in the deck. You're still looking
- 38:44Speaker 3: the other way.
- 38:44Speaker 2: Okay.
- 38:44Speaker 3: Watch this. All right. All I'm going to do, can
- 38:46Speaker 3: you think of your card really quick?
- 38:48Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 38:48Speaker 5: Okay. I'm going to say it's a red card. Was
- 38:51Speaker 5: your card the Queen of.
- 38:56Speaker 3: Hearts?
- 38:57Speaker 5: It's the Queen of Hearts.
- 38:58Speaker 3: No.
- 38:59Speaker 5: Was it really not?
- 38:59Speaker 3: Not even close. Is this live or pre-recorded? Live, baby. Okay.
- 39:05Speaker 5: Did you guys like the thing where I took off
- 39:06Speaker 5: my shirt and had the mass hole?
- 39:07Speaker 3: You're going to have a tattoo of the card.
- 39:12Speaker 5: I will keep my hands above the table.
- 39:14Speaker 3: He's not done.
- 39:15Speaker 5: I'm not even going to ask what your card was yet.
- 39:17Speaker 3: Okay.
- 39:17Speaker 5: I'm just going to stand up now. In my back pocket,
- 39:21Speaker 5: I've got one pocket that's zippered. I'm just going to
- 39:23Speaker 5: undo the zipper. I know you've got a boyfriend, but
- 39:25Speaker 5: would you mind reaching into my back pocket there?
- 39:27Speaker 3: Sure.
- 39:28Speaker 5: Wait.
- 39:29Speaker 3: This is all good. one playing card inside.
- 39:31Speaker 8: Yeah, this is it.
- 39:33Speaker 3: That's your card?
- 39:33Speaker 5: Is that it in my back pocket?
- 39:34Speaker 3: In his pocket?
- 39:35Speaker 2: What?
