  1. 4:49Unbelievable. How's he doing it, Sal?
  2. 6:54The name starts with Z, doesn't it?
  3. 8:11Oh my god. What's going on with you?
Oz Pearlman 0:00 ↗
Oh. Okay. He's right. How the could he do that? Honey, I'm going to tell you something. You are Satan himself. This is unfucking... This is unbelievable.
Howard Stern 0:12 ↗
Oz Pearlman. Met him on America's Got Talent when I was a judge and he always amazes everybody. Oz, take over. Tell us what you want us to do.
Oz Pearlman 0:19 ↗
I spoke to Gary before this and I asked Gary two questions. I said, Gary, you've been with the show over 40 years. Is that correct?
Gary Dell'Abate 0:25 ↗
42.
Oz Pearlman 0:26 ↗
How many interviews do you think you've seen? I have a thousand at least. So, I told you that when you come into this room, I would have you pick somebody that maybe has been on the show or maybe hasn't. I told you you would not pick until you got into this room.
Gary Dell'Abate 0:38 ↗
True story.
Oz Pearlman 0:39 ↗
JD, your phone rings right now in your pocket. Yes. Pretend. [clears throat] I want you to do this in the moment. And right when I snap my fingers, you're going to look down. But Gary, you both make your choice. When I snap my fingers, JD, you look down. It's a friend. You see that person in there? Oh my god, look who's calling me. And right now, Gary, you choose. Bam. Can you visualize the person's face that in this moment you decided is going to be the guest?
Gary Dell'Abate 1:03 ↗
Yes.
Oz Pearlman 1:04 ↗
Okay, Richard, I want you to imagine that you take a dart, you throw a dart through the air at the United States, and bam, you watch it land on one state. [music] Can you see that?
Richard 1:14 ↗
Yes.
Oz Pearlman 1:15 ↗
Beth, cover my eyes so I can't see. Richard, write down the state.
Richard 1:19 ↗
Okay, I'm writing it down.
Oz Pearlman 1:23 ↗
Gary and [music] JD, you're going to write down any letter from either their first or last name. Cover my eyes. Hide what you've written down. Can I open my eyes? Open your eyes. Right when I look without a question. Richard was too quick on the draw. He let it sail. And he was too impulsive. We're in New York. He did New York. You wrote New York, didn't you? Turn it around. Did you write New York? You wrote New York. You wrote New York. I told you it was too obvious.
Howard Stern 1:47 ↗
Unbelievable.
Oz Pearlman 1:47 ↗
He was too quick on the draw if he was going to do South Dakota. You could tell. Even Robin could tell. Robin's like, 'Come on, get it together.' Robin's a genius. Gary got very... Do you see how he got tense? Very erect with his back. Not to use that word in a weird way. I think you were debating a guy and a girl.
Gary Dell'Abate 2:03 ↗
I was debating a guy and a girl.
Oz Pearlman 2:05 ↗
You thought of a guy. JD. Yes. Think of the first letter. You definitely did a guy. Am I right? I don't think this guy knows any women. Okay. Uh, he only has three friends.
Good guess. Good guess. [laughter]
Oz Pearlman 2:15 ↗
Come on, Oz. Count the number of letters in this guy's first name. Just in his first name. Count it to yourself. Uh-huh. See how quick he said that? If he had to count your name, H-O-W-A-R-D, you can't do it. Right. Right. And if the name is long and he knew it right away. He knew right away that's a three or four letter name. I'm telling you how it works. And the three... He even got angry when I said the three. He dipped for it. It's a three-letter name. Something I don't even want to see. Don't turn around what you wrote down. Look at me. It's a nickname. His name is longer. You call him by short. Vic. Is it Vic?
Gary Dell'Abate 2:44 ↗
My god. Jesus Christ. Don't... [laughter] Wow.
Oz Pearlman 2:48 ↗
Don't show. Don't show. Hold it right there. Hold it right there. And then he hasn't been on the show. You want him on the show. You've admired him. Something funny. Something. Think of the first name. See, he nodded. Quick. Think of the last name. Oh, struggle. Longer name. He's an interviewer, too. Zach Galifianakis. Is that who you thought of?
Gary Dell'Abate 3:05 ↗
Yes.
Oz Pearlman 3:06 ↗
Wow. Out of here. How do you do that? Z. Is there anyone that would know your pin code?
Sal 3:12 ↗
My wife would know my pin code.
Oz Pearlman 3:14 ↗
If I reveal this code, are you okay with it?
Sal 3:16 ↗
Yeah. I have nothing in my bank account.
Oz Pearlman 3:17 ↗
Okay. All right, think of the first digit. Okay. Second digit. Third digit, fourth digit. Mhm. Go back and forth. Look at me again. First digit, second digit, third digit, fourth digit. The way you say the numbers and letters are different. Watch me. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. Six and a seven sound the same because they're six and seven. Do you see how you make the words? But certain letters... 6 7. Six seven. But there's one number when I get to the last number. It's the only one that starts with the T. The last number is a two, isn't it?
Sal 3:50 ↗
Yes.
Oz Pearlman 3:52 ↗
The... I'm making sure that you are okay if I reveal this. Is that correct? Like, 'cause I had this recent incident.
Sal 4:00 ↗
There's no money.
Oz Pearlman 4:01 ↗
Um, close your eyes. Can you see that, Beth? I'm going to show the guys. Keep your eyes closed. Eyes are closed. Howard, just to make sure. So every... Can you see what I wrote down? Can you see the four digits? And we're showing a camera. Open your eyes. Tell us all one digit at a time. What's the pin code?
Sal 4:17 ↗
6.
Oz Pearlman 4:18 ↗
Yeah.
Sal 4:18 ↗
0.
Oz Pearlman 4:19 ↗
Yeah.
Sal 4:20 ↗
4. [laughter] Two.
Oz Pearlman 4:22 ↗
Close enough. I'll take it. 6... 6402. I'm off by one. He's a little dyslexic in his mind. I'm fine with it.
