Let's try something fun. We'll do a little performance later, but this is what I want Flip to do, because he's freaked out at me. Is... I could go... I'm glad that you know he's freaked out. I could go get a deck of cards, right? I'm not going to do that. I'm not doing that again. But picture this in your hands. Pretend you're holding a deck of cards, right? And do some fancy moves for the listeners. Pretend you're shuffling them. See, some acting.
Flip, know what he's doing right there? That look, a little suspect. Making pizza though, he's got the AR intelligent hand. Interesting. Imagine that. You know what? You just drop a few on the ground. A few just dropped. Oh, you're making a little mess. It doesn't matter. Don't mess up the mic. And you dropped a few more. And then we look down at the deck, all these cards, and we count them. And I count the deck. And you know how many cards are in a deck? 52. But when I count, cheater, he's only got 51, because Flip put one in his pocket, right? You know what I'm saying? He's got one in his... Hold up, hold up. I want you to watch.
Don't tell me that card that's in your pocket. You imagine right now. Think in your mind: red, black. Don't say anything. Red, black. Think: hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades. Hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades. If you have a card in your pocket, I'm punching you in your face. I'm telling you right now, invisible, it's invisible. You're dead in your face. Swear to God I am. I want to see that. I want to see that. You better not have a card in your pocket. Chill out. I'm gonna clunk you with this. Chill out. You'll be honest, right? If I guess it right, look this way. Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King. Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King. You imagined one card. You took it out. You put it in your pocket. You didn't really put it in your pocket, but you pretended to. That's what I told you to do.
Black card, spades. It was a King of Spades, wasn't it? You can't hear him right now, but he's freaking out. King of Spades. King of Spades. Yes, it was a King of Spades. Don't hold the reaction in right now. I feel like I'm selling you. Think King... What the [__] is wrong with you? Because that was a card he gave me. I didn't give it to you. That was the card he picked from earlier. It was a King of Spades. King of Spades. What he put in his pocket. Oh my God. Yo, he did a trick to me. Hey, did that. Yo, Ian gave you some money outside. Set up. It was the King of Spades. It was. Swear to God. Ice, yes.
Don't let him beat the whole room. It's impossible. Let's say he's... imagine a card. Okay, we got an empty chair right there. Do you see it? Listener can't see. We got Park right here, right? But right there's an empty chair, and you get to fill in that chair. Okay, now you're going to do your mind. I was going to tell you take your phone out, get a photo, but no, no, I don't even want it. I want it in your head. You could... somebody's sitting right there, and you know what you're doing? You're on the edge of your seat. You got questions lined up, and I make this exciting because normally I would think of somebody alive, but dead or alive, man, woman, whatever, somebody that you have not... have the... Hold on. If you look over there, and don't put you in the spot, okay, do you know what question you would ask this person, or you're not even sure yet? I'm not even sure the question yet. Okay, not even sure the person. All right, hold on, hold on. Big, I think I got to be under pressure. You think you know his person? Yeah, I think I... Don't say, don't say. I... W... Oh [__], come on. He put my books. Come here's what I do. Here's what I do. I got a pad of paper and a marker. Don't say the name that you think it is, because you know him. We just met. What, when I walked in the door, how many letters are in this person's first name that you think he picked? That I think that you think he picked. Just tell me the number of letters. Well, don't say. See, I just watch his face. No, no, I don't want you to say. I could tell just by looking right there at Ice's face that he was wrong. It's not six letters, is it? No, it's not six. It's not six. You got it wrong. Good try though. Look at... help me stick to your day job. Uh, no, he just got back to that.
The listener, who you know, the person that comments, going to stay scripted. Did before I walked in this room, had we ever spoken a word in our life? Is there any... did I tell you who you would have to pick? That I some way say you got to go, come on, do this. I'll slip you 100. Nothing, right? He could have thought of anybody. Down, all right. He going to get it wrong. We got, we got this. No, look how he's got his arms locked around. No body language. No, no, the body language is clear. You got hands crossed and legs crossed. That's 100% a dude vibe. It's a guy. I know you picked a guy. If it was a woman, you got to spread him out a little more. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? You can't be that tight. Can't be that tight. You got to give him room to breathe. Can't be that tight. That's a guy pelvic. That's a guy with the pelvis. Hey, loosen up in your hips. Yeah. All right. All right. When you said six to him, you know what I saw? It's too much. Name's shorter. Ice, close your eyes. Mhm. Yeah. Don't close your eyes when a dude... Tell... No, no, I want to show everybody in the room. I don't want to show you. Are your eyes closed, folks? Don't say this out loud. Don't say this out loud. Everyone in the room get a peek. If you guys saw it, say yeah. That better not be... All right. No way. I will fight this [__] out of free. So everybody knows. Has everyone, all of you, say yeah if you just saw what I wrote down. I can't change my mind. Ice, Ice, open your eyes. Someone sitting right in that chair. Only in your brain, you're seeing him right there in that chair. Anyone? Anyone? Ex said who's sitting in that chair? Tell us. I don't want to say it. Y... Hey, yo, Chris Brown. Chris Brown. Chris Brown. That was an easy one. That's an easy one. I'm not blown away by that. Get the [__] out of... Sensational. Hey, yo, dog. Yo, why the [__] you at work thinking about BR? Yo, no, no, no. He said, he said somebody that we would... I would love to have on the podcast. Yeah. But throw a curve ball over the... I thought it was Nip. God damn. That's why I said I thought it was Nip. I was... Yo, who I thought it was... Jesus. I was saying either him, I was... Allen Iverson or Chris B. I was... That's exactly... My God. Yo, see, good thing I don't have this gift, boy. You [__] are be in trouble. I have your ass. Look at Park's all nervous over there now. Look at this guy. Crazy. I'm not... Hold up. Yo, I ain't spoke to dude. That was the easy one. I don't... I don't think it was that hard neither. If he picked mine... Well, you was wrong, Parks. But how much history you got with Joe? How long you known Joe? Uh, since what, '07, '08, something like that. P us down, Park. Coming up on almost 20 years, right? Not quite. So you know, you lose your bank card. Uh, they call you up and they go, 'Parks, how do we know you're really you and not the guy who stole the card?' Right? So they say, 'What's your mom's maiden name?' But hear me out. Mom's maiden name. They don't say that anymore because my mom's on Facebook. You want to know who my mom is? She likes every photo. She comments. Yeah, that's this my number one fan. So that's not a good question. What I like to ask people is ask me a question that nobody would know. Even your boy from 17 years, he's not going to know this. True. Okay, so when I walked in this room, full transparency, I walked up to Parks. I said, 'Come up with a question. Don't say it to anybody. Don't write this question down. Don't nothing. Think of a question that none of us would know.' Yeah. There is no way in the world that could know what that question is. Could I? No, not a chance. No one in this room would know what the question is. Forget the answer. Forget the answer. Po answer. I'm talking about. I'm talking about even what question you're going to... It's not mother's name, is it? No. Okay, so of course not. If you ask the question out loud, you put it out in the universe. Could any of us know the answer? No. Okay, what's the question? Uh, when we were teenagers, a couple of my friends, when we get real [__] up, would say a phrase to each other. Okay, okay. No more. Don't say anything more. Imagine you're in front of a keyboard. Mhm. But with computer, different than thumbs is texting. Put your hands like on a keyboard right now in front of you. You got uncross your legs. See, I feel like now you're cheating. I want you to imagine that you type the answer. You don't actually move your fingers. You just got to think about it. Okay. All right. Look what he did. I saw it. See, why did I position him like that? I like how Flip is still shook up from before. You see this? He's like, how shook up now? How'd you know it was a King of Spades? All right. You tapped your thumb once. Uh-huh. What's on a keyboard? Everyone, take a moment. Space. Space bar. Space bar is boom. You did that in between two words. It's two words, isn't it? The answer is two words. It is two words. Yeah. What, what are you going... Yeah, two words. How would I known that? He act like that was normal. All right, hold on. Yeah, he's sleeping. And that was, of course, it's two words. Yeah, that was easy. All right, don't handle your bre... Which word is more interesting to you? The first one or the second one? Or you don't care? Don't care. Don't care. Don't care. Right. Think of either word. You do it. Okay. You thought a second word. No, no. Yeah. Oh, good. I like he moving around. See, but he's the opposite. He does the opposite. He looks this way when he looks that way. He's kind of... Watch. Now we'll figure him out. You're thinking of the first word. Then pick any letter in the first word. Don't tell me which one. All the letters in front of you. Boom. You grab one out and you take that letter like it's a Scrabble tile and you can hold it in your hand. Can you see that letter? Yes. So what he did is he looked at the first letter because his eyes went to the left. That's the first letter. We read left to right. But he does the opposite. You didn't think the first letter, did you? No. See, he did that to look to throw me off. Come on. Who are you talking to right now? Yeah, that's what he did at the little secret meeting. I think you jumped and then you grabbed one and I thought it was like right near the middle. It wasn't in the middle. It's not the last letter, is it? Either. No. N. Are you thinking of an N? I am. You are. Holy [__], Park. See that? That's real talk right there. He just thought of a letter. I knew it was an N. It sounded like an M in my mind. Is there on a scale of 1 to 10, you've seen all the stuff I've done, but this is for you. You called me out. Where on a 1, 10 is impossible? Impossible. Where does this fall for you? Eight. How do we make it a 10? Hold on. I got it. I got the second word. Yo, Parks, if you let him make it a 10 right now, he said I have the second word. Yeah, you had Nate for the first word. But when I go right there and I wrote this, you better not... You want me to show you or you want me to just say it to you? Say it. Yeah. Yeah. Your boy's here. You see them? You're 9 years old. You're high-fiving. Chow. How the [__] did you get that? No, wait, wait. Is it Bing Chow? Bing. Is that right? Holy... Yo, what the [__] is going on? What [__] is this? That was a good way to... I see what you tried to do though. What in terms of the throw off? Like, yeah, that was a great... That's a good whatever you thought. Yeah. And he came up with this [__], this little Peter Parker looking [__]. This guy is [__] great. You like a time traveler or something like you? That's what Pat McAfee calls me, his pen and his little pad to write on. You know, no pens, no pads, no nothing. You got them, Joe. You got me good, Joe. Have you written down a thing? Have you written down anything? Have you whispered something to somebody? Have you said anything to anyone in this room? Uh, no. So when I walked in here again, we had like one minute before I came on, and I... you, we mentioned something interesting, which is the fact that yesterday I had somebody think of someone that had passed away, and I shared that. You was like it was a weird thing at a show, and they said this person, are they alive and dead? I'm like I think they're dead because it's just their body language. And you told me you had thought of someone a few days ago. You were going through your phone and they popped up, and it was someone who passed away. Is that right? Yeah. I'm not guessing that person. Nothing to do. You shared that information with me, so I don't want people think later, oh, he told him, so he's using it. But that's something weird which just popped in your head. Something just popped in your head that you weren't expecting. Yeah. And I said to you, think of someone in your phone that you have not talked to in a while. That you've literally... you've not talked to this person in a while. Hasn't been the last day or two, otherwise too recent. You might have just said their name on the podcast, guy or girl. And I want you to think of that person. And then what if we called them right now? What if we call them right now? Put them on air. Everyone heard it. And you said to them a word, two words, three words, like something, a phrase, something that they would understand and none of us would get, like Bing Chow. Can you close your eyes? Close your eyes. And... and pucking up. Think of what you say. A man tell you close your eyes. Your first thought is to pucker up. Just the cheek. Was it? Tell me it was two words, right? Oh yeah, two words. Open your eyes. Notice your body language earlier. Ice was tight. You went open. I think it's a female. You were thinking of a female. Am I right? Uh, yeah, yeah. Come on, that's easy. Yeah, that is easy. You know, was like I'm not any guys met my girl. All right. My girl do this every night. I'm in a trainer. She like, look at him, Joe. You think of another girl? I tried to make it a guy. Get in. I'm sorry, baby. What do you do? You call her by her name or a nickname? A good... That's a good question. That's a good question. I don't know the answer to that. Perfect. That's good. That's good. All right. I don't know if this is her real name or fake name. [__]. You just think they call her mother named her. Heaven. [__]. Are you talking about? Sorry. That was solid. Solid. Pick a letter. You know what? Same thing I did, Parks. Pick a letter. Here's her, her name or her nickname, god-given name maybe. Her. Pick the letter already, bro. I'm not him. I'm him. I'm not him. I'm him. Like, know who you dealing with here. Yeah. You see that? Yeah. Felt like more than one. Felt like more than one [__]. The letter, the letter you just thought of, there's more than one of it in the name, isn't there? There's more than one. There's more than one. It's like Michelle with two L's. I saw it. You looked at two of them. Probability. You're doing it. Probability. I'm not doing probability. Okay, I'm with you. And you're thinking of me. My name is a weird one. Oz. O-Z-Z. You thought of a Z, didn't you? I did think of a Z, and it sounds like the word Jasma. Jaz. Is that her name? What the [__]. No way. No way. Get... Oh, you [__]. Y... What the [__]. And I would have gotten away with it [__]. Hey, that was [__] impressive. Wait, wait. He was going to call her on the phone. He was going to call her on the phone, and he said he was going to tell her two words. Oh [__]. Yeah, it's words. Two words. Oh, you about to get mad. I was holding trouble now. I'll turn it up. Do it. Do it. Let's [__] go. Was he going to say a place? That was my first... my first instinct was he's going to tell her a place. Why was it a place? But now he's looking away. No, it's not a place. I'm view [__]. Do they know Jasma? Y'all know Jasma? I don't know name. I don't think so. I think he knows her through someone. I think it's not a place. I think he knows her through someone. Somebody connected. Somebody. You don't talk to her. You, you know her through someone else. Something's up. Something up. Two words. Two words. You know what? I'm about to go block you. My girl page. I... That Joe. How about this? Took some chick in another room. In another room. Timestamp all this [__]. You know what? You said it's my pen. This is a pen. I don't care what. I don't want to write it because people can't hear when we're on there. What if, what if you write this down somewhere? Or you don't want to write it? I wrote it. Oh no, no. You not write anything. There's nothing here. Here. How could I reveal this? I don't want to show anything visual. I don't want to just say it. Think of the first word. It's a guy. Somebody knows two of you. Two words. Is it first and last name? Common ones. Yo, Michael. Paul. You took MP work again. No, no. It's a joke. Yo, it's... is a right. Holy [__]. No, J [Music].
