Let's do something cool. All right. Logan, we get in here, right? And here's the thing, the sum total. What... Do you remember elementary school or middle school? Would you describe that you had a favorite teacher?
Elementary school or middle school?
Or your most hated teacher. Does either... to pick either a favorite or hated? Do you have either? Or do you... Which one do you have? A hated or a favorite?
Okay, so... But that's a strong emotion and if she's still alive, she's going to... Well, actually... [laughter] If she got under the skin, I bet she talks about you like glowingly.
Yeah, cuz I'm famous as [__] now. [laughter]
So, if I guess that, if I guess that, right? Are you blown away? Yeah. So, here's why... Bro, there's absolutely no way that you could guess her name.
I'm going to tell you this right now. I'm going to tell you right now because I've read the comments and I know exactly what happens. At this point we have ChatGPT and Anthropic. Listen to me. You cannot possibly remember everything you've said given the fact that you've literally spent thousands of hours on here in a flippant remark on somebody's phone on anyway, there's no way you would know.
If you could go through that and get a transcript of everything, have it processed by AI and say, 'Did he ever mention a teacher?' I get 17 teachers spit out. Or what if I literally went to Ohio, hooked up yearbooks? Is that creepy? Pretty creepy. But there's no way, there's no way because it's defined. There were other people in that class with you, probably 22 other students who might have known you would hate her.
So, here's something undefined. You ready? This is way better. Something that you pick today here and now since we've arrived at the stadium is if I said you close your eyes and I say instead I set a challenge where I say you go back in time and you think and you visualize the face of a kid who if I said to you, it's exactly my phrasing, I go, if I had your mom, Pam, if I had Greg in here, if I had Jake in here and I said could they guess who this kid is that you have not thought of literally in years before today and you'd be like, 'Dude, there's just no freaking way you could know this kid.' That you have not thought of in years and ideally not an easy name.
If I said you might to do this right now in the moment pick something. Most people pick somebody with an easy name right away. And then when I guess it they're like, 'Ah, it's kind of easy.' Logan, how old were you? Just a sec. How old, what grade when you first met this kid? What grade were you in? It's a guy, right? It's a guy. What grade or roughly when in your life would this have been? Open your eyes. Tell me the... Give me a timestamp. When, what year roughly?
Okay. Do you have something to write with? That's going to be too thick. I'm going to give you something smaller. I'm going to give you a Sharpie but that's going to be too big for your hand. Can I have a Sharpie? Can I have a pen and write? While you find it, can I ask one quick question or you're... Okay. No. Here we go. Take a Sharpie. I want you to take... You're right-handed? Yeah. I'm a mind reader, I know. And I want you to write this person's first name in the palm of your left hand.
I want you to do it so close to you. There's no way there's a camera behind you. There's no way I could see anything. Mike, you're going to come around, you're going to cover my eyes. Okay. Their first name and Jeff, do it. I don't want you to... Yeah, Jeff, come on over. Don't let Mike see it. Make sure there's no cameras behind you. Jeff, come on over cover my eyes. I know there's no cameras behind him for sure. Is there anybody behind him that could see it? Cover my eyes, Jeff. Put your hands. Man, [snorts] his hands smell great. That's what I was scared of.
Have you written this person's first name on your left hand? Yeah. Mike's not supposed to see either. Nope. Logan, is there any way I could have done any research, talked to anyone, found this out? Did you have any idea what I was going to do before I showed up here today? No. Right? Zero. Zero. Have you even thought of this person in years? Before today had you thought of them ever? Like when was the last time this person even popped in your head? Has it been months or years?
It's been a while. It's been a year.
Okay. Put your hand against your heart. Have you done it? I have a white shirt and... Okay, so no, put it on your chest or on your pants. Right. Yep. Can I have my eyes? Yep. All right. Boom. Here we go. Let's go. His brain is temperature-wise very... Jeff's saying he's got a hot brain. Would you agree this is absolutely impossible? Let me grab the marker.
I like how he's going through his head and saying, 'How in the world...' I'm going to close my eyes. I'm going to close my eyes. Bring your hand in to shake. My eyes are closed. Bring your hand in close. There's no way I could see your hand. Cuz the ink, the ink could bleed off on his... Look at my hands. Look at my hands. What if my hand is... cuz I'm sweating now cuz he's doing the tricks. Yep, bring it right against my hand. Right against my hand. Right there. Closing hands. Man, Alex had a way stronger grip than you. [laughter]
Count the letters in your head. Okay. No, don't use your fingers. Don't toe tap like that. Five. It's five letters. You should have known better. [laughter] See each letter as you are writing it. The vowels first. There's more than one. E. A. It's not Andrew. R D N, Nader. The kid's name is Nader, isn't it? [laughter] [sighs] Open your hand. Show them. [laughter]
