All right?

Speaker 6 (05:11):
The war in Iran is continuing, and with it, a
growing sense of unease is building across the entire Middle East.
It's been about a week now since the US and
Israel attacked Iran, killing the Ayatola and leaving the country
to face a powervoid. President Trump is saying he wants
to personally play a role in the selection of Iran's
next supreme leader. In the meantime, he says, the US
and Israel continue to demolish the country, destroying many of

(05:34):
its missile and drone launchers. All of that military activity
has likely already cost American taxpayers more than five billion dollars,
according to some estimates. President Trump's cabinet seeing its first
major shakeup of his second term. Christoum is out as
Homeland Security Secretary. Picked to replace her is Oklahoma Republican
Senator Mark Wayne Mullen. He still needs to be confirmed

(05:56):
by the Senate, but Mullen says his plan is to
build off of things didn't quite go as planned at DHS.
Trump fired Noam on Thursday, saying she'll become Special Envoy
for this Shield of the America's, a new initiative in
the Western Hemisphere. He didn't provide an exact reason for
the move, but multiple reports say the President was upset
after she told Congress that he signed off on a
two hundred and twenty million dollar DHS AD campaign prominently

(06:19):
featuring her. And finally, we didn't talk about this much yesterday,
but Britney Spears is now out of jail following her
arrest or allegedly driving under the influence in California. She
was picked up Wednesday night in Venture County. Her manager
told the outlet the incident is completely inexcusable and Spears
will take the right steps in what is a long
overdue change that she needs in her life. And those

(06:41):
are your three things.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
All right, everyone do your job today. Make sure you
don't do any make bad decisions, or spend money needlessly,
that is, otherwise you two will be sent to the
Shield of Americas.

Speaker 6 (06:55):
It's like out of a Marvel movie.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
I don't know. It sounds like a great little brunt
having brunch there Americas. Hey, well, welcome to the day. Yes,

what it means.

a special report today. Did you hear about all this stuff?
I can put something together if you'd like. Me to

the day. One of the most amazing, if not arguably

(07:31):
the most amazing magicians in the world, is going to
be in this room performing magic and talking about his story.

I like it. You could stop someone and.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
You know, before the day is over, I will.

Speaker 6 (09:09):
I hear a rainbow jacket.

Speaker 12 (09:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
And I'm loving the hair really so this is the
same wig I wore as Queen Elizabeth. Oh, I don't
know why.

Speaker 6 (09:19):
That hair is what I picture Danielle's hair to be
when she's like nine.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Why wait, Danielle, Hey, so Diamond, you wanted to do
disco Friday? Is this what you wanted? I am loving this.
We gotta get photos, okay, we have to get photos
a S A T. Because people need to see what
this is.

Speaker 10 (09:39):
Yes, and we should do what is it called? Oh man,
what do they do? Soul trained down?

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Like all right, all right, we gotta get into it.
So this sparkly black shirt layered underneath this rainbow jacket
that's shiny as well. Yeah, I stole this out of
my husband Alex's closet, and I'm wondering why does he
have these?

Speaker 6 (10:02):
Right? Why do you think he did?

Speaker 1 (10:03):
I don't know, but they paid off today because I
needed an announce Yeah, I didn't know.

Speaker 6 (10:07):
The seventies were so itchy.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
Yeah, but you were. So there's that noise?

Speaker 16 (10:13):
What is that?

Speaker 1 (10:15):
The seventies were so itchy because no one noticed because
it was they were high.

Speaker 6 (10:19):
Yeah okay, like god synthetic fibers and glitter.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Yeah, hold on, hello, hello, hello, hello. We're unfair where
that noise is coming from?

Speaker 8 (10:28):
They thought it was my wire. They replaced my wire.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
It may not be you, It may be my wire anyway.
Well no, I don't think anyway. So, yeah, the seventies,
no one was itchy. The only reason they were itchy
is because of the pills they were taking.

Speaker 8 (10:39):
Oh okay, wait, did they wear a lot of polyester?

Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yeah, yeah, that's the seventies. You didn't wear any natural cotton.
It was all man made materials. Okay, yes, it would
catch on fire immediately.

Speaker 6 (10:51):
This thing on my neck that's causing a lot of it.
What is this material? Like mohair? What is that's?

Speaker 1 (10:55):
It's okay? Who's is it? Is it? It's me to it?

Speaker 6 (11:00):
I think it is to you. But you're not touching anything.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
No, I can go home. I can go home. Then fine,
I think it's this microphone. Here's my gold micro Hello.
All right, god, we have so much going on. We're
celebrating a new Harry Styles album. We're doing disco day,
and we're trying to figure out why my microphone's making.

Speaker 6 (11:18):
An annoying we're troubleshooting.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
All right, well, try a new mic whatever. So so
we decided to dress up. If we can get photos
up online a sap, that would be a good idea.

Speaker 8 (11:27):
Yeah, all right.

Speaker 9 (11:28):
See, I'm like Dianna is the biggest Harry Styles fan.
I'm surprised she's not here, Like, first thing in the morning,
where is she, Deanna?

Speaker 1 (11:35):
It's probably on their responsibility the producer saying, Hi, who
do you want to do your horse goes with.

Speaker 6 (11:41):
Oh, with you in that outfit? Please?

Speaker 1 (11:45):
All right, let's see if we can get through this.

You want to hop on this mine?

Speaker 1 (11:53):

Okay, so life on six inch heels is kind of nice. Yeah,
I mean, because look, I'm a short guy, so today

Speaker 8 (13:38):
Height doesn't make you feel sexy.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
No, on the verge of falling over. No, no, try
to balance. No, no sexy here.

Speaker 6 (13:49):
It makes you look thinner when you're taller and the
same weight.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Oh gosh, I'm gonna get one of those bone lengthening
of surgeries.

Speaker 6 (13:56):
Oh that looks like a bad idea.

We've got lots to do in Turkey's gonna have a
huge year.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
We can't do the show. Well, I have the wrong microphone.

Speaker 9 (14:29):
Oh I truly, just before listening to each one of
your voices, every.

Speaker 14 (14:34):
Single Elvis Duran in the Morning Show. This is Elvis
Duran in the Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
This is oh yeah, okay, they put a new wire
on my microphone. Maybe this will sound good. Fresh your
cans in the way. Hey, welcome to just Go Friday.
I just got my disco bagel. The bagels are here, Nate.
Yay yy bagels. I told you that's the number one
word today. Yay yay. Fun, fun, yay fun. So you
know I was. I just met up with Jim Kerr

(15:08):
in the hallways. As you know, Jim Kerr is a
radio legend here in New York City and he's been
working gosh, he's been working radio since the seventies. Nineteen seventies.
He said, we were all dressed up like you're ready
to go to the gay bars. Yeah, he said, you know,
Sunday nights for the big gay bar. Gay bar nights
here in New York City. I used to go. When
I used to do afternoons on Z one hundred, we
would go to the Roxy and we would get there

(15:31):
like at one in the morning. Oh you didn't, You
didn't roll up before one. Even one was kind of early.
And we would go till the sun came up.

Speaker 8 (15:39):
That's awesome.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yeah, then I get it. I get into the Z
one hundred, do I show it three in the afternoon?
Those were the hours.

Speaker 6 (15:44):
Oh yeah, afternoon, Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah, that was great.

Speaker 8 (15:47):
You were like wide awake, you were fine.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Yeah, for some reason, we were like wide away.

Speaker 6 (15:51):
For some reason.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
I wondered what that was, because we were amped up, man,
we were vibing.

Speaker 6 (16:00):
We still bring back all those things though, Like disco
fries are great, disco naps.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
I still take disco naps and I enjoyed disco fries.
They're important, but the rest of the aramon I cannot
get into otherwise Daddy will have a heart attack. I'm
surprised I still have a septum in my nose. Anyway,
those were the days. But that was nineteen eighties. I mean,
how many fifty years ago, forty years ago, I don't know.
So the reason why Diamond wanted to do Disco Friday

(16:27):
is because, well, we're it's the release of Harry Styles album.
I'm trying to see the connection.

Speaker 10 (16:31):
Here the disco occasionally.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah, exactly. But we were listening to some of the
songs off the album. There's some great songs on there,
but I can't find anything very disco ish.

Speaker 5 (16:44):
I know.

Speaker 10 (16:44):
I was listening to it earlier and I was like, Okay,
it's good though, yeah, no, it's really good. But I'm like,
I thought we were going to get down, like the
get down.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Yeah. These dark sunglasses make it where I can't read
my screen. Oh lord, what this is a Harry Styles song?

Speaker 7 (16:59):
Yeah, it's cool. The taste back.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah, I don't know if we have time to play that,
because we do have Steve Cohen the Magician on the way,
and Nate says we have to conserve time. Yes, we do.

Speaker 6 (17:08):
Do you think he's using the term disco as like
the verb like two disco, like have a good time,
go party versus actual disco music? Probably?

Speaker 9 (17:15):
Yeah, Okay, maybe we should have dressed up like lips
kiss all the time, well kiss the band members.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
I don't know if somebody tells me we have theme
days all the way, today is a disco day. I've
got a place we can all meet up. I just
thought it was kind of appropriate for the day we
are kind of gathering here at the Pink Pony Club. Okay,
come on in West Hollywood? Why not, Danielle? You ready
to go?

Speaker 3 (17:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (17:40):
Hold on, I gotta put my glasses on top of
my glass.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Yeah, your disco glasses.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
All right.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
We do need to post a photo at some point.
Let me know when it's posted.

Speaker 6 (17:46):
We're coming your way. Right now for you to post.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Okay, I'll post during the Danielle report, not that I'm
not listening.

Speaker 8 (17:51):
Okay, fine, I.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Okay, okay, here we go.

Speaker 8 (17:55):
Can I read this?

Speaker 13 (17:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (17:56):
Take them off if you want to do.

Speaker 9 (17:57):
I put my real glasses underneath these glasses should be
all right, Harry Styles, it's all about Harry today, right,
He released his sports studio album Kiss All the Time
Disco Occasionally. The release is co produced by Harry's longtime
collaborator and follows up his critically acclaimed twenty twenty two
album Harry's House. The new record has twelve songs, including

(18:19):
of course a bunch that we've already heard, a bunch
that you haven't heard. And this weekend he is going
to be giving us one Night in Manchester, his first
concert for the new album, which will prepare Sunday at
three pm Eastern time. And there is a trailer for
it if you would like to check it out. So, yes,
it's all about Harry and that's why we are all

(18:39):
sparkly today.

Speaker 5 (18:40):
So there you go.

Speaker 8 (18:41):
Let's see what else do we have going on.

Speaker 9 (18:44):
So this weekend, Ryan Goslin will be hosting SNL with

Speaker 8 (18:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (18:59):
Wait, let's see Zendea. So more about Zendeia and whether
or not they're married her and Tom Holland. First we
heard that they were married. Then we've heard that they
aren't married. Well now they're here, we're hearing again that
they are married. So don't I wish they would just
say what is the big deal whether they're married or not.

Speaker 8 (19:16):
I don't know, but why don't they just say we're married?

Speaker 7 (19:18):
Are you married?

Speaker 10 (19:19):
I'm married? Yeah?

Speaker 9 (19:20):
Okay, say yeah I thought so, but okay. The California
Highway Patrol arrested Britney Spears for suspected drunk driving. They
pulled her over in her black BMW four thirty I
and of course it was an unfortunate incident. Her family,
we're hearing maybe getting involved now to step in and
just make sure that she does what she needs to do.

(19:43):
And they're hoping that instead of staying in jail or
going to jail for this, that they'll actually get her
into a program that gets her some help. So we're
hoping for the best there. And of course we are
watching that story for you and we'll let you know
what happens.

Speaker 6 (19:56):
Queen Latifa posted.

Speaker 9 (19:57):
A video online this week and a lot of people
are like, did she die? To Queen Latifa die, She's saying,
good morning, it's me Latifa. I'm one hundred percent okay.
She said, do not trust everything you read on the internet. Really,
I thought everything you read on the internet was one
hundred percent true.

Speaker 6 (20:16):

Brand New Harry Styles Friday, Brand New Harry Styles. Its
Taste Back, which is one of the many songs you'll

(26:21):
hear us play today. Excellent. Hey, yeah, Steve Cohen, this magician.
What a story he has. He will be on with
us in less than an hour, a little less than
an hour, and we're trying to conserve time because we
want to spend more time with him than we typically
would spend with any other guests. The story behind a
guy who does magic for a living. Oh, it's got
to be a simple story. You learned a couple of

(26:42):
tricks and does your show no way toill we hear
his story. It's pretty great. Also, a phone taps on
the way in a few minutes, says, hang on, I
want to hear all about the weird, wild stories you
didn't learn in school. Let my best friend Patty Steele
and her podcast The Backstory with Patty Steele be your guide.
What are you working on, Patty?

Speaker 18 (26:58):
Just imagine living the life if you're an ex Olympic
athlete with tons of money. But it's all from selling
billions of dollars worth of cocaine. This was Ryan wedding,
So why did he just surrender to the FBI pleading
not guilty.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
It's The Backstory with Patty Steele. New episodes every Tuesday
and Friday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.

Speaker 5 (27:20):
Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
All right, let's talk about a couple of trends going on,
shall we Hey? Smoking I was reading about this a
couple of days ago. More and more people are picking
up cigarettes and smoking them again because people just don't
give it whatever.

Speaker 6 (27:35):
Yeah, I've seen it so much cigarettes. I'm like, that
are smoking a cigarette?

Speaker 12 (27:40):
Wow?

Speaker 6 (27:40):
But apparently, you know, things have gotten so crazy in
the world that people are like, f it, this is
the least bad thing that can happen.

Speaker 8 (27:46):
It's probably stress relief to yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Absolutely, yeah, but you are seeing more of it. My
friends who only smoke when they're drinking are now smoking
when they're not drinking. Oh lord, They're like, you know,
drinking's kind of out. Do you have a light?

Speaker 8 (28:03):
Oh jeez?

Speaker 1 (28:04):
All right, look, you know, who are we to judge,
but don't do it. Smoking is really, really really bad
for you. Also, another another trend for talking about Gandi
was saying she heard this on ten ten wins on
the way it ends today about gen Z in marriage
in women and men go.

Speaker 6 (28:25):
So apparently gen Z a lot of the men who
were surveyed as to what they want as in a
woman is old traditional like nineteen fifties, stay at home
and cook and be the little lady in the house
type of thing. They're very quote unquote traditional gen Z
women most are so opposite of that. Now they're working,
they're going to school, they're doing their own thing, they're traveling,

(28:48):
they're very independent. So there's this split as far as
what a gen Z mail wants and what is available
for a gen Z mail.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
The pool has shrunk, yes, gentlemen, so you're going to
find less people. And I'm sure there are some women
out there that they do want to do that first,
you know, but the pool of women to do want
you to do that is less than ever.

Speaker 9 (29:08):
So the battle is on, Well, they can marry a
robot then, I think, you know, nowadays they're gonna work.
That's going to be an option at one point, and
a robot and you can make the woman whatever.

Speaker 8 (29:18):
You want, and then she comes to the house there.

Speaker 6 (29:20):
Yeah, I watch a movie about that. Yeah, it went
really well for them.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
I'm thinking, God, I wish I was a gen Z woman. Yeah,
that's all. I just want to be a little wifey
in the house.

Speaker 6 (29:31):
Yeah, and there's nothing wrong if that's what you want
to do. But that pool is just much smaller than
I used to be.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
And me to the pool. Yeah, Nate, I will be
the wifey for you at the house. I wanted to
be the wifey.

Speaker 15 (29:40):
I thought you would go bring home the bacon and
I'd just be in curlers and barefoot in the kitchen.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
I will That's not what I want in my kitchen.
Now do you want your kit I want you to
look nice when I get home. I will already be
home because we're see at this point, all we could
do is bump each other because we want we both
want the same thing. Hmm, what's that scary? Well, now
I'm scratching my head because of the wig. Maybe, well maybe,

(30:06):
but because but as gen xers and millennial guys, we're
taught to do the opposite of our our parent boomer
parents and have those values. And now the gen Z
kids boys are going back to that because.

Speaker 6 (30:20):
They're doing the opposite of their parents.

Speaker 7 (30:22):
But that makes no sense, and I feel like we've gone.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Backwards in time. She just told you why. It does
make sense because because their parents are the ones that
were like, live fancy free, I mean, don't worry about it,
don't don't have a wifey at home, So they're living
the opposite.

Speaker 15 (30:37):
I know.

Speaker 7 (30:37):
But that's like a caveman attitude.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
I can't.

Speaker 6 (30:39):
Well, there's a lot of a lot that goes into
the caveman attitude thing too.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yes, it is.

Speaker 6 (30:43):
Yeah, a lot of these, you know, the podcasters that
are zeroing in on this specific type of man because
that's a business model for them. The more unhappy these
guys are, the more they're going to listen to these
other unhappy guys telling them how everything is. You know.
The fault of women this text.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
In today's day and age, it's hard for the women
to stay home and have one dollery support the house
and all the bills. Realistic. As a working mom myself,
I would love to be able to stay home and
raise my kid, but today's day, no, it's hard to do.
So there are women who do want to do it
and some men who want to do it and can
and some that can't. You know, well, you know, just

(31:17):
kind of bringing up some things we've heard along the way.

Speaker 6 (31:20):
Interesting stuff going on.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
You know, someone Center text they're bored.

Speaker 6 (31:26):
Entertain them? Shall we find out and then just do that?

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Well, let's just go Friday. You're bored, Okay, let's just
go Friday. Have you gone to our Instagram pages to
see what we're addressed like today? I need a shiny
disco ball.

Speaker 12 (31:48):

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Whoever wrote this song?

Speaker 7 (31:50):
Brilliant?

Speaker 1 (31:54):
They're kicking in here we go. It's one of those
songs we were swinging on the swing at Roxy one night.
We were at the Roxy dancing and then some draggoo was
on the swing and her heel went into the side

(32:15):
of my head. I thought I was shot. I thought
was trying to assassinate me at Rocks.

Speaker 6 (32:19):
How did that go?

Speaker 5 (32:20):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
I felt like there's a school depository in Dallas.

Speaker 6 (32:23):
Oh God, what happened?

Speaker 9 (32:27):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (32:29):
Barbaras triysand I don't think we have time to play this?

Speaker 6 (32:33):
Oh god.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
I never really liked this song, did you?

Speaker 6 (32:36):
I don't know it?

Speaker 1 (32:37):
What is by Duck Sauce?

Speaker 9 (32:38):
Barbaras trisand I don't think I know by Duck Sauce.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
By Duck Sauce, Let's give it a shot. Whoever wrote
the lyrics to this, it's just fantastic. Barbara streis Head
all right, all right, you know what, that didn't get

(33:03):
me any disco music.

Speaker 6 (33:05):
It's like I Feel Love by Sam Smith or Donna Summer.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
We're up against a time wall, so we have to
go to a straight and eight our senior executive producer
to give us some consultation. You gotta go to break
right now.

Speaker 6 (33:15):
It's got to give it up by Marvin Gaye Disco.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
No, it really isn't. It's a great song, though. It
is a great song.

Speaker 6 (33:25):
Oh the song so long.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
We can't play this. We have a guest coming on
and we will screw up the entire name. He's going
to kill you all, I'm telling you now. He's had
enough face. All right, we're gonna get it. That was good.
That felt good, That feel.

Speaker 8 (33:45):
Good, It felt like love.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
We look a little mini stroke. It was all nice.

Duran's phone tap.

Speaker 13 (39:27):
This phone tab was pre recorded with permission granted by
All Party Space the.

Speaker 14 (39:31):
Elvis Duran phone tap only on Elvis Duran in the
Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
welcome bags. Prom seasons here, so be it. Macy's March seventh.

Speaker 5 (39:55):
He is Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
The Millionaire's Magician Steve Cohen. Yeah, Now, why do they
call you the Millionaire's Magician?

Speaker 13 (40:06):
Well, I don't. I don't check people's bank balances at
the door. But a lot of my audiences over the
years have been wealthy New Yorkers and a media outlet
called me that one time and it just stuck.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
By the way, if you go see Steve's performance, it
is a formal event. Why do you find that's important
for an evening of magic?

Speaker 13 (40:27):
Okay, so I dressed in a black tie and tails,
but it's really just like cocktail attire. We want people
to have a very festive evening. It's in this really
beautiful old Victorian style Gilded Age mansion, and so if
you come there dressed up in flip flops and shorts,
you know you're going to really feel out of place.
So what people like to do is they can make

(40:48):
it a whole evening. There's it's you're in a Gilded
Age mansion. People get dressed up, women wear evening attired
gowns sometimes, but you know, really it's not again, we're
not going to turn people away if you're wearing just
casual clothes, but you would feel on comfortable.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
So it sounds like it's a show and a show
and you're setting you're setting the pace for this magical evening.
I'm assuming there's some candles involved. It's you've got this
beautiful set. You're taking us so a different time, yea,
it really is a ton of a step back in time.
I have to think of the the shows at the Lote,
New York, Palace Hotel. So it's like, like I said,

(41:21):
it's a Gilded Age mansion. Is the first Gilded Age
mansion in New York City to have electric power. It
was built in the eighteen nineties, right, so you know
you've got the wires were hand installed by Thomas Edison. Right.

Speaker 13 (41:33):
So this is the type of building that you're in,
and if you ever walk past it, you might just not. Actually,
the best way to put it is, if you ever
saw the TV show gossip Girl, they film gossip Girl
in that hotel. Oh well, so do you guys Maybe
you guys watched I never watched gossip Girl, so I
couldn't tell you. But so it's it's really it's a
special place to visit, and it's not just a magic show,
which you know, of course that's what I'm putting on,

(41:55):
But it's the whole experience of walking into this step
back in time.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
Love that I'm sure ghosts are involved in that dwelling
as well.

Speaker 13 (42:02):
I even include one of the ghosts in my show.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
Oh well, yeah, are you are you going to show
us a trick with a ghost because this building doesn't
have any ghosts?

Speaker 13 (42:09):
Yeah, you know, magic is best performed after dark.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
So Steve Cohen, the Millionaire's magician, is about to perform
something for us, a very special something just for us.
But I mean, you've been in New Yorker for your
entire life.

Speaker 13 (42:25):
Yeah, yeah, So I grew up in Westchester. I went
to school in Chappaquah. And actually I've got a great
story which is about Z one hundred. Oh where we
are right now? Yeah, we are right now the haunted
radio station. And maybe it's only haunted because you're here.

Speaker 1 (42:36):
When they can meet, my ghost will continue to come
into a show.

Speaker 13 (42:41):
So basically, like I said, I grew up in Westchester.
When I was a kid, just going back over forty years,
I was driving to school one morning and my brother
and I used to listen to Z one hundred every morning. Right,
who is the host back then? And the Scott Shannon
Scot sh It was definitely Scott shann I remember his name.
And so so he or one of the people in
the crew that day had announced a contest and the

(43:03):
contest was if we name your birthday and you're the
first caller, then call us in and we'll give you
one thousand dollars in cash. So my brother and I
are driving along wondering, you know, maybe they'll call our birthday.
So Scott Shannon or whoever it was, said, okay, if
your birthday is February first, be the first caller and
we'll give you a thousand dollars. And my brother and
I went, holy crap, that's my birthday. My birthday is

(43:24):
February the first, right. And so again, this is forty
years ago. No one has cell phones, right, they hadn't
been invented yet.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
What did you do?

Speaker 13 (43:31):
So I pulled over, screeched to a halt, ran up
to someone's house. Okay in Westchester. I ran through their yard,
tripped on some gravel and scraped up my elbow. I'm bleeding.
I got to their front door and I'm knocking furiously.
Let me in, Let me in. They're like, what do
you need? And I'm like, can I use your phone?
Who do you have to call? And they looked at
my elbow. They thought I needed to call a hospital
because I was bleeding, and they said no. I said no,

(43:52):
I need to call Z one hundred. Okay, And so
the people let me in. I've called up Z one hundred.
They let you in, They let me in. Yeah, you
know kind of like calm looking person, not going to like,
you know, rob them or anything. So so they let
me in. I called you one hundred, and I was
not the first call, so I didn't end up with
the money, but I did end up with a bloody elbow.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
You a thousand dollars.

Speaker 13 (44:16):
The reason I'm here today is to collect but plus interest.

Speaker 6 (44:21):
Because that was he said forty years ago. What would
that be?

Speaker 7 (44:23):
Relied?

Speaker 13 (44:24):
Oh my god, you're going to put us on a
business Exist.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
This ten can isn't worth that much money.

Speaker 13 (44:28):
That's like a library book that's been overdue for a
really long time.

Speaker 12 (44:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
Well, look, I've been in many an assistant in mini
magic shows and I've had to hand over a dollar
bill or one hundred. I've never had to hand over
like forty five thousand dollars.

Speaker 13 (44:39):
Yeah exactly.

Speaker 1 (44:39):
Well we'll have to get to that later, no problem.
How did you started?

Speaker 13 (44:42):
That's why I'm called the Millionaire's Major because I just
I just catch it in all the shake down radium.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
Exactly how did you decide magic was your life? I'm
assuming it started when you were a child.

Speaker 13 (44:53):
Yes, I'm I started when I was six. And did
you ever try any magic tricks when I'm the worst.
Did you ever try when you're a little boy?

Speaker 1 (44:59):
Yeah, I was the best thing. Okay.

Speaker 13 (45:01):
Yeah. So I think that a lot of kids start
off doing magic, you know, at around age six seventy eight,
when they get a magic kit or something that their
parents say, hey, you know, my kid probably learn something fun.
It stuck with me. My uncle was an amateur magician,
and he was a really good one. He was very
serious about it. So when I was a kid, I thought, okay,
you know, I'll just do what my uncle showed me.
And the way he taught me was an interesting kind

(45:22):
of progress. See, he said, if you learn this trick,
then I'll teach you the next one. It wasn't like
he gave me all the tricks at once and said here,
here's all the secrets. He said, if you're good at
this one, then we'll teach you the next one. And
I had to prove to him by performing it the
next time we had a family gathering. So the way
I like to think of it as kind of like
a like a drug dealer, you know, like he was
like stringing me along, like if you want to learn
the next one, you have to be really good at

(45:43):
the first one. So it's like I kept at it
and I got pretty good. And you know, certain people
have certain aptitudes for things, like you know, like I'll
have a good ear for languages, so you know, I'm
able to I speak Japanese. I was able to gloss
passord yah. Yeah. Yeah, Well I learned Japanese when I
was seventeen and became fluent and became a translator and

(46:04):
interpreter for the government, which government Japanese Jean. I was
doing the Japanese patent translation in Japan in Tokyo.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
So you go to Tokyo, but it's the time. I'm
assuming you're an aspiring magician as well, or you were
an officially.

Speaker 13 (46:18):
I did both. I did both.

Speaker 1 (46:19):
So you do interpretations during the day in Japan and
at night you do magic shows.

Speaker 13 (46:24):
That's right, what a life? This is a movie a
movies grab, Yes, So I was. When I was in Tokyo,
I was working at the Park Hyatt Tokyo, very nice
hotel at the time, it was the most luxurious hotel
in Asia. And I did shows there for about a
year and a half, almost two years, and it was
my entree into Tokyo society to get a chance to
do magic for the high society there.

Speaker 6 (46:45):
Wow, this is crazy, truly. I have so many questions
about magician stuff in Okay. Is there really a magician's guild?

Speaker 13 (46:54):
I've never heard of that, but there are magic organizations,
and I wouldn't call them a guild. I think you're
thinking of of Joe Bluth from Arrested Development.

Speaker 6 (47:03):
That's exactly yeah.

Speaker 13 (47:06):
So yeah, So what I what I can tell you
is real is there's the Magic Castle in Los Angeles,
which I'm a member of. Fact there, Well, you have
to know a magician to get in, and now you know,
now you know me, and I know they gave me
a special lifetime. Uh. It's called a performance Fellowship, which
is basically kind of like an academy award from the
Magic Castle. Wow, it's a really high level thing and

(47:28):
they give it out to you know, like very handful
of people.

Speaker 8 (47:31):
Aren't you in Like the Inner Magic Circle.

Speaker 13 (47:34):
That's the other one. I was gonna tell you this
is the devil stuff. There's no pentagon, there's no pentagrams involved.

Speaker 6 (47:39):
I'm picturing people in robes with hoods.

Speaker 13 (47:41):
It's not like that at all. It's all a bunch
of like you know, like ordinary looking people who know
some really cool tricks. No Jeffrey Epstein connection, no no, no,
no babies, and there's not Okay, don't don't get me started.

Speaker 6 (47:51):
So okay, yeah started.

Speaker 13 (47:54):
So that's so. In l A, you've got the Magic Castle,
which is a great magic private clubhouse, which again, as
I said, you need to know a member to get in.
And if you need to get in, because I know
you and you know me, you just tell me and
it's be my pleasure to let you in there. Wow.
Now that doesn't go to all of your listeners because
with requests.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
So so far with Steve Cohen, the Millionaire's Magician, we
have lost forty three thousand dollars in cash and we
can now go see a magic show exactly correct.

Speaker 13 (48:21):
And then in London, like you mentioned, there's this wonderful organization.
It's called the Magic Circle. It's right near Houston Station
in London, and that's the one of the oldest magic
societies in the world and it's been running consecutively I
think for like like one hundred and twenty five years
or something like this, and to two hundred something. I
forget exactly the number of years. But the point being

(48:43):
it has magicians who who meet in a private clubhouse
and teach each other tricks to get better.

Speaker 8 (48:50):
Oh, how do you get into like a club like that.
You have to be invited.

Speaker 13 (48:54):
You have to for both of these clubs, the Magic
Circle and the Magic Castle. You have to audition. You
have to that you're not just a lookie loo, right,
that you really care about the craft and you will
actually get better and improve magic for everyone and not
just be like a secret stealer a grifter. Yeah, yeah,
because that's the honest, that's kind of what it is.

Speaker 4 (49:11):
Like.

Speaker 13 (49:11):
People may want to get into magic just that they
learn the secrets and then blab it to their friends.

Speaker 6 (49:15):
Yes, right, so you can you get to be.

Speaker 13 (49:18):
A real My feeling is that you're not really You're
not able to keep a secret if you even tell
it to one other person. So, like a lot of
my secrets that are in my show, could I do
a show that's called Chamber Metric and the secrets are
not available publicly to anyone. I don't put them out there.
No one knows these secrets, nor should you and exactly
and so so you might think, okay, we can go
on the internet and find any secret we want. But

(49:38):
that's not true. There are certainly secrets. You can go
on YouTube and find tons of magic tutorials. It'll teach
you how to do some great card tricks and coin
tricks and rubber band tricks and whatnot. But like the
real secrets, I think that there are magicians such as
myself who care about them so deeply that we just
don't blab them for anyone verys one person knows it,
that person dies, the secrets are lost.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
With There's nothing that drives me more nuts deve then
someone who has to sit there and go crazy trying
to figure out how it was done. I just you
do a trick. I just wanted to live with it
as Wow, that was great. I don't want to think
about how you did it, or you should we think
about it?

Speaker 13 (50:15):
Do you do you know the trick that I'm most
known for.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
No, I don't.

Speaker 13 (50:17):
Okay, So I know that Skiy came came to the show.
Do you remember the trick a drink?

Speaker 12 (50:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (50:24):
Okay, I tried to unpop that for three hours.

Speaker 13 (50:26):
You have to yeah, yeah, I guess just natural to
do that, you and everybody else, you and everybody else.

Speaker 14 (50:32):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 13 (50:32):
So basically in the show, I've got this silver tea kettle.
It's an old teapot, and I asked people around the
room to ask to name their favorite drinks, and so
someone might call out that they want to have a
ginger ale. So I pick up the tea kettle and
pour them immediately from that spout a ginger ale.

Speaker 1 (50:47):
They drink it.

Speaker 13 (50:47):
It's real, and I say, okay, what does someone else want?
Someone else says, oh, I want to have a Gin
and tonic. So I pick up the kettle and pull
out a Gin and tonic from the same stop and
give it to the second guy.

Speaker 7 (50:56):
On hours someone called out McCallen.

Speaker 17 (50:58):
Eighteen, okay, and you literally pulled out the cant eighteen
and then you let him try it.

Speaker 7 (51:03):
He goes, this is definitely maclid eighteen.

Speaker 13 (51:05):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's crazy. And just like
if not taxed anything, and I'm in the middle of
a room attached no spo someone.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
Just chocolate milk or something stupid like that.

Speaker 13 (51:15):
People have asked for chocolate milk. They've asked for you
who here's a guy who asked for There was one
guy who asked for a a chocolate egg cream right,
you know, yes, and we put it with the you
bet chocolate syrup, which is no. I bet Gandhi can
totally stump you.

Speaker 6 (51:31):
I don't know. Could you do a mango LUSSI.

Speaker 13 (51:33):
I've done MANGOLOSSI stop.

Speaker 6 (51:37):
Yes, of course this is wild?

Speaker 13 (51:39):
Yeah yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 9 (51:40):
So doesn't it taste like if I look, the last
person had a yuku and then I want a margariteat
it tastes nothing.

Speaker 13 (51:46):
No, there's no overlap.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
But wait, Steve, I want my deceased mother's breast milk.

Speaker 13 (51:53):
People have asked for breast milk before. Oh god, I
know someone even asked for peptobysmal. I can't put my case.
Would like to see a magic trick.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
Okay, so you're using your hands for a magic trick?
My neck? Before you do this? Are your hands insured?

Speaker 13 (52:11):
They are not insured. And I have I have friends
who are musicians who play the violin, who have every
finger is insured individually. But I've never I've never gone
that route.

Speaker 1 (52:20):
Man, move your bottle because we're gonna is it? Okay?
Are we catching this on camera? Sure?

Speaker 13 (52:23):
Do you did whatever?

Speaker 1 (52:23):
You're like? Sure? Okay, okay, you approve the angle. Yeah, yeaheah,
I will give the water bag at all. If you amaze,
you'll get your birthday.

Speaker 8 (52:31):
Have a birthday coming, I do this month.

Speaker 13 (52:32):
Oh wonderful. Okay, here we go. So this is the
trick for you then, okay, And I've got a black hanky,
and can you rub my hand just to make sure
that it's empty.

Speaker 15 (52:39):
It's empty.

Speaker 13 (52:40):
Now it's my birthday. I probably should have covered at first.
That would have been a lot more like your left fingers.
This time left fingers. I want you to touch the
base of my palm, and I want you to rub
slowly towards my fingertips all the way down and press
my hand as you go. You keep going all the
way down to the very end. So you felt all
the way across my whole hand. Great, okay, So for
those of you that didn't feel what she was feeling,

(53:01):
she was feeling this my empty hand. And I watched.
This is where the magic begins, right there in that
very center spot. Can you see, yes, make a circle
right there? Good, Look, it's forming, it's rising, The circle
is filling. I hope that you're thirsty because it's time
for a single malt scotch.

Speaker 6 (53:25):
And it's gotten.

Speaker 1 (53:30):
This is crazy out from under the handkerchief, the black
handkerchief on his hand. Oun't know where this malt scotch
and a shot glass comes out. That is awesome.

Speaker 8 (53:45):
That tastes good.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
Yeah. And if you're a drunkard me, this is the
show you gotta go see, my god. Awesome.

Speaker 13 (53:52):
Yeah, it's all about cocktails with this guy. Oh yeah,
it's what's up?

Speaker 1 (53:57):
Nate?

Speaker 7 (53:57):
You are the most fascinating.

Speaker 1 (53:58):
I love you.

Speaker 7 (53:59):
I'm sorry we got to have you back on, like,
you know, next week.

Speaker 15 (54:02):
Where do you get some of the ideas for these
I don't want to say tricks, like these illusions, like
where do.

Speaker 1 (54:08):
You where they come from? Right?

Speaker 4 (54:10):
Right?

Speaker 13 (54:10):
So, so almost everything I do is it's dated back
to hundreds of years ago. And there's a library. There's
actually a wonderful library called the Conjuring Arts or Research Center,
which sounds like something you'd find in Hogwarts, right, it
sounds like, yeah, it can't even be real. But it's
a library for magicians. And I wouldn't say you need
to know a secret handshake to get in, but they wouldn't.
They won't let the ordinary, you know, public, just walk in.

(54:31):
You have to either know the librarians. You have to
know the organization to have access. And in that library
they have books that date back to the fifteen hundreds,
the fourteen hundreds, secrets that have been preserved for centuries,
like old thousand year old recipes. Yeah, yeah, kind of
like that. It's like that, and the point being that
these books have to be preserved in climate controlled vaults

(54:51):
because otherwise the pages will crumble and the secrets would disappear.
So now this is like howarts it kind of is, right, Yeah,
And so I research a lot of my magic tricks
based on these old secrets and try to make them
feel fresh for a modern audience.

Speaker 8 (55:05):
Wow, fascinating, you know, it's amazing.

Speaker 1 (55:09):
Magic is just teeming, and the richness of the history,
I mean it does take you back. It takes you back.
To give me an example of a series on Netflix.
I mean, I think of.

Speaker 13 (55:23):
Well, the Gilded Age. I mean, like, if you watch
The Gilded Age, that's like exactly what I'm getting at
as far as the ambiance of the show, Like you know,
when people come, it's like a festive event, but when
you get there, you're like already in an altered state
of mind because you're thinking Why did I have to
get dressed up to see a magic show?

Speaker 4 (55:39):
Right?

Speaker 13 (55:39):
Is this is not a dinner, you know, a state dinner, Like,
why do I have to get dressed up for? But
by putting yourself into that mindset, you're actually making yourself
invest yours. You're invested in the experience.

Speaker 4 (55:49):
You know.

Speaker 1 (55:49):
We had an incredible chef Mario Carbone on the other day,
and when you go to one of his Carbone restaurants,
it's not just going into this Italian restaurant you're eating.
It's a show. Wow. And we're talking about his restaurant's
got he goes to the one in Miami, we go
to the ones here in New York. It's a show.
I mean it's they take you to a different place
with the decoration of the room and the way you

(56:12):
communicate with your server and the captain. It's not just
an eating experience. It is a show. Sure, So your
is like I said before, yours is a show in
the show.

Speaker 13 (56:21):
It is it is. I mean way I like to
think of it is that you're going through many frames
like picture frames, and frame number one is at your
own home when you're picking out what am I going
to where to go to this magic show, right, and
you're thinking about it for like a couple of weeks
or days before you even leave your house. And then
the next frame is walking into this beautiful hotel that
I mean, I don't know if you've been to the
Lotate New York Palace, but it's it's stunning. I used

(56:42):
to do this show at the Waldorf Astoria. I was
at the Waldorf Astoria hotel for seventeen years before they
closed for renovations. But like both of those places, like
walking in is the first big, big frame, and you
realize they're kind of walking into a movie set. You are,
you know, And then you walk down this gilded hallway
and then there's like chandeliers and gold ceilings, and you're like,
he really doesn't feel like you're in modern New York anymore.

Speaker 1 (57:02):
So it's not street magic. It is opulent.

Speaker 13 (57:05):
It's age exactly.

Speaker 6 (57:08):
Okay, So of course you were saying that to get
into some of these organizations, they really test you and
they make sure that you're not a grifter or somebody
who's just trying to steal from people. How many magicians
actually fall into that category versus what you're doing? And
can you get kicked out of these organizations once you're in.

Speaker 13 (57:23):
Oh, the good question. So I'll answer the last question. So,
so magicians have gotten kicked out of organizations like the
Society of American Magicians, International Brotherhood of Magicians, the Magic
Circle for exposing secrets to the public.

Speaker 8 (57:37):
Like the Mathe Magician when he had that show.

Speaker 6 (57:40):
Do you know who that was?

Speaker 1 (57:41):
We do? Everyone knows who he was?

Speaker 13 (57:42):
Yeah, is he still alive?

Speaker 6 (57:44):
Wants a man?

Speaker 13 (57:46):
Well, he moved actually his name was Valentino, Valve Valentino.
He actually moved to South America. There was a big
article about him, I think in Bloomberg or in the
Wall Street Journal or something recently, and he's actually flourishing
in South America with a whole career there. He did
get black balled, you know, and blacklisted by magicians everywhere
else because he is exposing secrets. And so that's that's

(58:06):
the one Anatholte. You cannot you cannot expose secrets as
that's like the basic level yourself. But here's but here's
an interesting story that that the Magic Circle in London.
The very first president was a guy named David devant Okay.
He was one of the founders of the organization. He
exposed some secrets, they kicked him out of his own organization.

Speaker 6 (58:25):
Oh whoa, that would be insulting.

Speaker 8 (58:27):
Yeah, is he right?

Speaker 1 (58:28):
Yeah, happened to me here probably please.

Speaker 6 (58:31):
So, how many of the other magicians that we see
are actually just kind of swindlers and not necessarily actual magicians?

Speaker 13 (58:36):
I don't, I don't know. I mean, I don't. I
don't interact with people like that. I kind of stay
away from many magicians. I don't. I get involved in
things that are the kind of on a bigger scale. So,
for instance, there's a big exhibition going on at the
New York Public Library this this month and actually running
through the middle of I think June or July. Yeah,
And it's in league with the one hundredth anniversary of

(58:57):
Harry Houdini's death.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
Wow.

Speaker 13 (58:58):
So Hudini died in nineteen twenty six in this year
is twenty twenty six. So in league with that, there's
a big magic exhibition that's being held right now at
the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, right
behind Lincoln Center. And so I align myself with organizations
like that, like I'm working with like bigger on bigger level.
I'm not trying to win money off of people on
the streets or you know, like I do three Carmonti
and like the put your finger in the chain, like, yes,

(59:21):
I'm not doing the eternal chain. So yeah, this stuff
I'm doing is like at a higher levels. I don't
really know much about what those guys are doing.

Speaker 6 (59:27):
Okay, to be honest, So you've never used it for bad,
You've never used the powers.

Speaker 1 (59:31):
I've ever used match.

Speaker 13 (59:32):
I'll tell you. The only time I've ever used magic
to my advantage outside of a show was I was
doing I was on jury duty. Okay. I was called
for jury duty and it was a point blank gun
shot case in the Lower East Side, And during the
jury selection, they asked, do you have any experience with handguns? Now,
I have actually on my on my show, I've done

(59:52):
the bullet catch where I caught a bullet in my mouth,
my god, from a clock nineteen. So this is like
a real trick. I had a bullet which was shot
at my I catched the bullet in my teeth, okay.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
And not impressed Steve and I did.

Speaker 13 (01:00:06):
I did it from the History Channel. You can watch
it on my website. You can watch it online so anyways,
so I did the bullet catch and it traumatized me.
I ended up with a with a blood blister like
a hematoma from shattered glass. And I ended up with
a blood blister on my chest that kept on growing
a nerve damage. Anyhow, So when they were doing the
jury selection, the judge said, Okay, have you ever had
any experience with handguns? I said yes, I had a

(01:00:27):
gun pointed at my face and fired and I caught
the bullet in my mouth, and the jake says, get
out of my court.

Speaker 1 (01:00:36):
No follow up, no questions asked, Whether it's just turning
is on to Steve Cohen, of course, the Millionaire's Magician
performing here in New York City. You've heard how beautiful
the evening should be for you, and will be make
sure if you can get some ticket it. I've heard
it's very difficult to get tickets to your show.

Speaker 13 (01:00:52):
Yeah, so you know, the show's been running for twenty
five going on twenty six years now. I've done nearly
seven thousand performances, so that's a lot of momentum, right
of people. Over the years, over half a million people
have come to see the show. And the way I
like to think of its kind of like edging up
on Phantom of the Opera Leme miserob territory with the
number of performances. But with those shows, they've got a

(01:01:13):
rotating cast, you know, of like different actors and singers
and dancers and whatnot. I'm a solo act so I've
done myself public shows for in New York City for
you know, going on seven thousand shows now wow. Yeah,
so people can buy tickets, but you know, depending on
the time of the year, it gets sold out.

Speaker 8 (01:01:31):
From I'm picturing in my head, but I'm going to
wear when I go. Yeah, people get.

Speaker 13 (01:01:34):
All dolled up.

Speaker 1 (01:01:35):
It's great.

Speaker 4 (01:01:36):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
You know, I'm getting called up just stee.

Speaker 8 (01:01:39):
Do you know exactly how many tricks you can perform?

Speaker 4 (01:01:42):
Like?

Speaker 8 (01:01:42):
Do you do you know exactly how many?

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
You know?

Speaker 13 (01:01:45):
I do twelve tricks?

Speaker 8 (01:01:46):
Twelve, But over all the years, you've known more than
twelve tricks.

Speaker 13 (01:01:49):
Oh, I mean, this is my livelihood. So yeah, I
mean it's like if you asked you know, if you
ask the guitarist you know, to play, they know thousands
of songs, right, I know thousands of magic tricks, but
I performed twelve them.

Speaker 6 (01:02:00):
Okay, okay, last question. Well, I don't know if it's
the last question, but I have one more question, another question.
What has doing this for as long as you've been
doing it taught you about people?

Speaker 13 (01:02:10):
So so that's a really good question. I like to
think of people often mention that there's misdirection, right, that
you make someone look over here when they should be
looking over there, and you know, trying to. I don't
like to think of it as misdirection. I have to
think of it as direction that in order to get
in order to make a successful magic trick, and also
any sort of an interview or any sort of work

(01:02:32):
that you're doing, you have to direct people's attentions that
they're always you always have control over where their attention
is at in each moment. So rather than saying, well,
here's a good example, if you have a piece of wood, right,
a piece of paneling, let's say, and there's an there's
a knot in the middle of the wood, your eye
is drawn to that spot, right, and there's all the
lines around that would that kind of draw your attention there.

(01:02:55):
That's what a magician's doing, is we're drawing your attention
to one point. And so I mean, I don't know
this answering your question. It's kind of an esoteric way
of answering it. But rather than trying to lead people
away from what they should be looking at, I'm always
trying to lead people toward what they're should be looking at.
And that's you know, that's the job of a director.
So I'm directing people's attention as opposed to want this
directing man.

Speaker 1 (01:03:14):
You know, I'm assuming being a student of magic as
you are, I'm sure you could see a magician, illusions whatever,
doing a trick and figuring it out if you just
think it through, or figuring out maybe three different ways
they could do it. Have you steve ever seen someone
perform and you are so baffled you almost get a

(01:03:37):
tear in your eye, and you know, like that was
for sure beautiful?

Speaker 13 (01:03:40):
Sure can you recall one of those hundred percent? So
the problem with being a magician is that you have
the curse of knowledge. You know too much, and then
it's therefore you become dead into it all. But every
once in a while I'll meet someone who's considered what's
known as a magician's magician. Now you've heard of comedians,
comedian like someone who makes comedians laugh, and you know
someone who, like the average public will listen to that comedian, Ah,

(01:04:01):
that's not that funny, but other comedians go, this guy
is a genius. Right. So there's people like that magic
where they don't really perform for the public, but they
baffle other magicians. They'll work at a convention just for
the trade and make people tear their hair out. It's
hits hilarious. So there was an act I flew across
the country to see in Los Angeles. It was a

(01:04:23):
recreation of what's known as the Hooker Rising Cards. Now
has nothing to do with the Hooker. The name the
name of the magician who came up with his name,
doctor Samuel Hooker, worst name ever, But he came up
with a metric trick, which is a card deck where
you name any card and that card floats out of
the deck into the air and he plucks it out

(01:04:44):
of the air and it's miraculous. And magicians throughout this
like the past one hundred and fifty years have not
known how this trick is done. So when this one
magician named John Gonne found the original props from the family,
he had no idea how they were put together. He
had to reverse engineer the whole trick, and after several

(01:05:05):
years of figuring it out, put on a show doing
that trick, the hook a Rising Cards, and it's basically
twenty minutes of the same trick over and over again.
You name a card, it floats up. You name a card,
it floats up, and different different iterations of it. I
don't want to go into it. But anyway, even as magicians,
we're all watching this going and by the way, the
audience is full of magicians. There's not a single layperson there.
None of us know how it's done.

Speaker 1 (01:05:26):
Wow. Wow.

Speaker 6 (01:05:28):
So when he dies, it dies with.

Speaker 13 (01:05:29):
Him pretty much, Yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 1 (01:05:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (01:05:33):
And that's the beauty of it all, isn't it. It's
very ephemeral, you know. It's like, why why do we
need to all have access to it? I think is
better when we don't, and they need to. We need
to have that mystery and real secrets that are left
in the world for us to have for the next generation.

Speaker 1 (01:05:47):
When you're not in your tucks and your tails and
your hat and doing your show, you just walk through
let's say Central Park in New York City, which you've
done hundreds of times probably in your life, maybe more.
What do you see in real time? To you is magic.

Speaker 13 (01:06:02):
Well, I'm a runner, so I actually run marathons, so
I'm in Central Park much more than most you know.
I run about you know, forty sometimes up to fifty
miles a week, and so, you know, just I like
watching children laugh. Like that's very magical to me, is
seeing a little kid. And I like to make little

(01:06:22):
kids laugh. And sometimes I'll just you know, do something
silly and make them make them smile, or I'll do
something magical, like you know, like make a coin come
out behind their ear. As old and hoary as that sounds,
and still it still makes it still makes a little
chill children happy. And then you see them afterwards reaching
for their own ear. I think that's a door of ooid,
you know, like making a coin, just making a coin
appear from their ear and then walking away and looking

(01:06:42):
back over my shoulder and seeing them reach up there
to see if they could find more. For you is
always I just love that.

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):
I love hearing that because you know what, if we
stop down and just look around, as we see magic
every day, but Steve, Steve Cohen, to see you do
this show would be just an honor. And so I'm
going to pay full retail and show up as a
surprise one night, and it's going to be just an
amazing night. Thank you so much for.

Speaker 12 (01:07:10):
Hi.

Speaker 5 (01:07:10):
This is Ariana Grande.

Speaker 4 (01:07:12):
Aren't doing Hi?

Speaker 1 (01:07:13):
This is Harry Styles.

Speaker 5 (01:07:14):
You're listening to Elvis Duran and the Morning Show. Elvis
Duran at the Morning.

Speaker 3 (01:07:27):
Show, all right?

Speaker 1 (01:07:29):
You know they always say this is the morning show
that eats. That's why we have chefs, that we have
more chefs than any other show known to man. Today,
Josh Capon is here.

Speaker 13 (01:07:38):
Hi, Josh Morning.

Speaker 1 (01:07:40):
Everybody Here he goes. I love him Josh. Actually, if
you've ever seen him in action on TV or in
one of his restaurants or at a burger bash at
the Food Festival, Wine Festival, Josh is boom, he's on.

Speaker 13 (01:07:53):
But when he walks into the room, he's a little
more quiet.

Speaker 2 (01:07:55):
Oh I'm not so sure about that. I mean, come on,
I'm not a morning guy. But this is pretty cool
and we're here bright and early. Already had a cup
of coffee. I had one of your pop up bagels
over there to get the day starts. Goldberg, No no
better bagel on the entire we go down.

Speaker 9 (01:08:08):
He said he would dress up with us for Harry
Styles Day and he got all disco attired and everything
and he played.

Speaker 8 (01:08:13):
It was great.

Speaker 1 (01:08:14):
Nice Paul, Yeah, yeah, we dragged you. So the guys
you used to do on some seventies garb. But I'm
ready to rock. So Josh grew up here in the
New York area, Rockland County, and so you've decided to
stay here even though you have you have you have
a restaurant in Vegas, right, we have our.

Speaker 2 (01:08:31):
First location of Cape Bon's Burgers in the beautiful, brand
new Fatin Blue in Las Vegas.

Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
Wow, that's not bad.

Speaker 2 (01:08:36):
If you have not been to Vegas in a while,
I strongly suggest you pay that hotel visit because there's
a brand new, four billion dollar property and everything about
the place is absolutely spectacular. The culinary collection is second
to none. The spa, the pool, the gym, everything about burgers.

Speaker 1 (01:08:51):
The burgers. Yeah, Capeon's Burgers, award winning burgers.

Speaker 2 (01:08:53):
It's pretty cool to have my name in lights in Vegas.
Never thought that would happen, but it's really really something special.
And I was just talking to Jim Kurkr and if
you if you haven't been to the Sphere. You must
go see any show we haven't maybe beene yet. I
am insisting that you guys take a group trip, a
group outing to go to the Sphere. We'll set you
up at the Fountain Blue. There really is the Eighth

(01:09:14):
Wonder of the World. I don't care what you listen seriously,
that's next on my list because the movies are great too.
It is an incredible immersive experience. It's something that everybody
must experience, and I think you should go out there
for the Wizard of Us.

Speaker 1 (01:09:27):
You know, josh as a lot of things in Vegas
do they wear with time. At some point, maybe twenty
thirty forty years from now, this sphere will be like
it'll be like gay porn. I'm not so sure sphere
you'll see these big naked gay guys slapping each other around.

Speaker 2 (01:09:43):
Not so sure that's gonna ever happen with the Sphere,
But I've seen I've seen every show happened circus. I've
seen every show the Sphere so far, and everyone gets
better and better because they're all learning how to use
the technology from each other. That's the one I haven't seen,
but I really want to go see it because again
it's it's just a fun it's fun.

Speaker 6 (01:10:01):
I love fun.

Speaker 1 (01:10:04):
For me, I'm a dead guy. So dennen Coe was
probably my favorite.

Speaker 2 (01:10:07):
But I will tell you I was really pleasantly surprised
with the Eagles because I went because I wanted to.
It was really, uh it was you know, every song,
they put on a great show, the visuals are great,
and I was really that was probably my uh most surprised.

Speaker 13 (01:10:22):
So we gotta we got to pump it up a
little bit at the Sphere.

Speaker 1 (01:10:24):
But you know what we need. Who do we need
is the sphere?

Speaker 6 (01:10:28):
Bad Bunny, Bad Bunny, I would bad buddy.

Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
It's okay. So here's Josh Capon.

Speaker 5 (01:10:34):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:10:35):
He has got this energy unlike anyone else I've ever
met in this business. For instance, when we've done uh
some of the some of the the events for you know,
raising money for kids cancer, this and that. He's the
shift that makes the loudest noise. Who's the most I'm
gonna I'm gonna use the word obnoxious, but in a
positive way. You always let people know you're there. Have
you been like that since you were a kid. You

(01:10:56):
always think loud mouthed kid, you know, they never shut up.

Speaker 2 (01:10:59):
The first complement was on my energy, and I take
that very sincerely and I really appreciate that because because
I get that a lot, and I think it's a
very very very sweet thing to say about somebody, because
I think in the world we're living and especially these days, like.

Speaker 1 (01:11:12):
You gotta just show up. You gotta show up. You
got to bring some.

Speaker 2 (01:11:14):
Positive vibes wherever you go. The obnoxious part, yeah, I
get that. You know, my wife tells me ninety nine
percent of the world loves me, and there is one
percent that can't stand me.

Speaker 1 (01:11:23):
But you know, well, but.

Speaker 13 (01:11:24):
Let me be very obnoxious.

Speaker 1 (01:11:27):
No. No is great, and it means you have a
presence and you have that's your thing. Josh shows up
and you know he's there, and when you eat his food,
even if it is if he isn't in the restaurant,
you can taste that loud Josh in everybody. Your food's fantastic.
I appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:41):
What makes a great burger list is a great burger
starts with it's a sum apart some of all the parts.
I think most importantly, you start with obviously a great patty.
You know, my meat from Palafreda. You know, I have
a signature capeon blend chuck short rib and brisket.

Speaker 1 (01:11:55):
So I slow down the capeon blind cape part it's
short ribbon brisket.

Speaker 2 (01:11:59):
Chuck short and brisket usually about eighty twenty percent meaning
eighty percent twenty percent fat ground fresh daily. I think
that that obviously is where it starts. I think second
is the bun at Cape Bon's Burgers at the Found Blue,
we're baking buns daily. It's a cross between a bre
Ocean potato bun and the bun itself spectacular.

Speaker 1 (01:12:18):
And then what you do with it. You want to
make sure you treat it respectfully.

Speaker 2 (01:12:21):
I say, cook your burger's like a steak, you know,
make sure you get that nice calmalization that my art
effect that you're looking for, nice and golden brown. God,
don't want a burger. Don't play with your meat while
it's on the grill. Right, Let the thing cook, Let
it chart on right.

Speaker 8 (01:12:34):
You have to suppress it down.

Speaker 2 (01:12:36):
No, if I see you, if I go in your
backyard and you're smashing that burger in the grill like
fifteen times, I'm gonna take the spatula out of your hand.
And probably smack in the face. I mean, by the way,
even if you like it well done or cooked more,
just let it cook. It doesn't mean you have to
squeeze all the love juice out of there. You know,
well done doesn't mean they have to be dry. And
I think that's what people get.

Speaker 1 (01:12:55):
Make it notes you're going so fast, Okay, don't play
with the meat, and it's love juice. Okay, you see
where I'm going there. But but what to see this
it's a fear one, yes, But what I'm getting to
is is just cook with love.

Speaker 2 (01:13:07):
Like I think one of my reasons I was so
successful at the Burger Bash is, yes, we put out
a great burger every time, and I had the same
team involved in every everyone that we won. It's timing,
it's coordination, it's making sure every You know, you can
walk up someplace and there's like fifty burgers just sitting there.
We were literally cooking to order. I mean, you were
getting a hot, fresh, juicy burger every time. We cut
them into quarters. So like when you got that quarter burger,

(01:13:28):
you got that money bite first bite. You know you're
not eating around the outside. But I think whatever you do,
and especially when it comes to cooking, is put your
heart and soul into everything. Cook with a lot of passion,
cook with a lot of love. It's like that movie
like Water for Chocolate, where you tasted every emotion that
she was cooking with it. That's not my favorite movie,
you know, but but but I mean it very sincerely

(01:13:49):
when I say put your heart and soul, put your passion,
and make people appreciate how much effort you put into it.

Speaker 1 (01:13:55):
When you take that bite of a burger, of a
steak or whatever it may be, Oh you canna taste it?
You know, food is such an emotional heart. It's such
an emotional piece of the heart. And I bring this
up there. I don't know if you saw the video.
It was out the other day. There was an American
serviceman serving overseas and his mom sent him a care package.

(01:14:16):
I'm assuming, but I don't know. Definitely a Latin family,
Latino family, because she sent these enchiladas amazing and you
saw him open it up there in you know, the
Middle East wherever he is, and he started eating it
and he could taste the taste that he grew up with,
the taste that he had on his mom's table. Every

(01:14:37):
day and he just lost it. This man was crying
because it was love in there. And so if Josh
Capon says put love in your food, You're like, well,
how do I do that? There is a way to
do it. I'm literally getting emotional as you say that.

Speaker 2 (01:14:51):
I'll send me the video. I think that's the power
of food and one of the reasons why I absolutely
love what I do. I mean, I think you can
really nurture somebody's soul by cooking. I mean, send your
boy in the army, send your boy Salami in the army.

Speaker 1 (01:15:02):
Right, the cats as raised.

Speaker 2 (01:15:05):
But there's something about food that, like, really, it just
hits like nothing else. And I think in the world
will living in and I say food is the final frontier.
One of the reasons why I love cooking is is
it just brings people together. I don't care what nationality are,
where you're from. I think everybody celebrates more. And just
just when you bring people around at dinner table and
you're drinking and you're eating, like good things happen, man,

(01:15:26):
people are smiling. I love being in the restaurant every
night because I got a great I got a great
crew with all my kitchens My job is no longer
to oversee the kitchens. My job is to just make
sure everybody that comes to that restaurant is feeling the vibes, feeling,
is having a good time. I touch guests in a
way that I don't think anybody else does. I see
everything I know how to enhance their experience and most important,

(01:15:49):
to give them my reason to come back for more.

Speaker 1 (01:15:51):
Look at that. You know, Josh's capon talking about that,
and I know it's true because I've been in his restaurants.
Then you know, we have Mario Carbone here the other day.
He talks about his show that his restaurant to put
one of the best. It's but it's all it rolls
into the same vibe. So you take Gandhi out for dinner,
she of course of Indian descent, she's Indian. You know,
we go out to like Tamarind or some great Indian

(01:16:11):
restaurant in town, and you can see as she's chewing,
she's tasting, she's tasting.

Speaker 6 (01:16:18):
Oh, she's to me, it's a love language in itself.
I love food, and I think that there's so much
you learn about a culture through their food that it's
so important to try food from other places because you
will learn about the people through that.

Speaker 1 (01:16:30):
You're crazy Danielle from the Bronx Italian American. Yep, you
don't call it gravy.

Speaker 3 (01:16:36):
Do you know?

Speaker 1 (01:16:37):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:16:38):
One of my one of my biggest gifts is the
chef that you just mentioned is I have a big influence,
especially on younger kids that don't like to eat like
the you know, the pizza, bagels of cream, cheese, hot dogs.
I have a way to encourage or get kids to
taste things that they normally wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (01:16:51):
The parents are in all of.

Speaker 2 (01:16:52):
It because I think, like you said, food is part
of how do you do a living?

Speaker 1 (01:16:56):
How do you do that?

Speaker 2 (01:16:57):
I'm a chef, so I think I say, you know, listen,
this is what I do living like trust me, and
I get kids to tastings that they normally wouldn't and
break down some barriers because my mom and dad tell
you to taste it's like this, they're not gonna listen
to them. And I think a lot of kids who
are going overseas now for broad programs like I'm like,
immerse yourself in the culture, like taste of food, because
wherever you go, food is such an important part of it,

(01:17:18):
I traveled. One of my biggest, you know, culinary educations
came when I traveled abroad when I was younger. My
dad encouraged me to leave the nest, so to speak,
and I got into cooking to travel and I traveled
through Germany, Italy, Spain and France for a year and
a half. I learned a lot about myself, but I
also learned a lot about food and and just ingredients
and culture.

Speaker 1 (01:17:38):
And I think it's one of the greatest things we
have to offer.

Speaker 8 (01:17:40):
What made you fall in love with it? Like in
the first place, like with cooking and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (01:17:45):
How did you get the fever, Josh, I got the
fever for the flavor of them. Bring now listen. First
of all, I like to eat. I'm not gonna hide it.
I grew up a husky kid like I just like
to eat. My I like to eat good food, and
I used to play around the kitchen and I complained
about my mom's school lunch is one too many times
and she pretty much said, if you kids, make your

(01:18:05):
own lunch. And you know, all my early jobs, I
worked in a bakery where I gained twenty pounds I
never lost really not a great job for a husky
kid to take. In high school, I was a bus boy,
it was a line cook, I was a dishwasher. But
I just think there's something very, very genuine about it. Again,
you give somebody a plate of food, there's no way
you're not going to put a smile on there, whether

(01:18:26):
it's a burger or something fancy.

Speaker 1 (01:18:28):
How okay?

Speaker 2 (01:18:29):
Scary Jones everybody five Mix club member, one of my
favorite people on the face of the earth.

Speaker 4 (01:18:33):
Do I need me? Hell?

Speaker 1 (01:18:34):
I get a membership to Uh you did Elvis? Elvis?

Speaker 3 (01:18:37):
You just did?

Speaker 1 (01:18:38):
Oh my god, I'll tell you what Elvis Elvis. You

If I was you, i'd start calling right now. Yeah, yeah, don't.
I mean, go ahead, break a finger, just get it done.
Shall we do it? Ask a chef, Josh Capean, he's
been chefing officially for thirty something years. Oh, ask a
chef straight in eight Oh, I got a good one. Okay,

(01:22:40):
what is it? Okay?

Speaker 15 (01:22:41):
So you're constantly back there slicing, dicing, mincing. You've got
sharp knives right right. Yes, he's a piece of you.
Ever made it into a dish?

Speaker 6 (01:22:50):
Good question?

Speaker 1 (01:22:51):
I plete the fifth on that one. The answer is no.

Speaker 2 (01:22:55):
But you know what's worse than that has a piece
of a band aid ever made in the answer is
new my friend.

Speaker 1 (01:23:04):
Talk to me after the show. In spring Cape, Ponsberger
is opening a beautiful premise. Hey, ask a chef, Danielle.

Speaker 6 (01:23:12):
Okay, so do.

Speaker 9 (01:23:13):
Chefs really get upset if we alter what we're ordering
from the men? You like, I say all the time,
hold the sauce or hold the mail.

Speaker 1 (01:23:24):
No cilantro.

Speaker 2 (01:23:24):
Yeah, do you go the other chefs? Other chefs would
not like to answer, are about to give you. But
I'll do whatever you want. I just want them eighting
to please and make you happy at the same time,
at the same time trust the chef.

Speaker 1 (01:23:35):
Like one of my biggest pet peeves is when somebody orders.

Speaker 2 (01:23:37):
A salad no dressing, and then they sit there and
they take every piece of lettuce and dip it into
the dressing. I understand you don't might not want a
lot of dressing, so maybe light dressing. But there's something
magical when you toss the greens in a bowl with
the dressing and they're all just perfectly coated.

Speaker 1 (01:23:51):
That's why you go to a restaurant.

Speaker 2 (01:23:52):
I had a woman the other day that brought in
her own bottle of some some skinny version of a dressing,
and I said, Listen, She's like, well, there's no sugar
in here. That there's no sugar in my dressing. There's
also eighty five ingredients that I can't read on your dressing.
So I do stay trust a chef. I understand maybe
you don't want my wife. No gluten, no dairy, no butter.
I respect those things, but I will work with you

(01:24:13):
to make whatever you want, how you want it, absolutely delicious.

Speaker 1 (01:24:16):
That's so.

Speaker 2 (01:24:17):
Yes, I am a very listen, I'm a very accommodating chef,
and not many people, a lot of people with their
way of the highway.

Speaker 1 (01:24:24):
I do not believe in that philosophy at all. Like
Scotti Bee for instance. He sometimes you order a steak
and order a ketchup. By the way, I like stick
on my ketchup. Yeah, I said it on live radio alone. Yeah,
always ketchup on meat. Yeah, all right, all right, hey,
ask a chef. Gandhi.

Speaker 6 (01:24:40):
Okay, you earlier talked about respecting a burger and the
things that you need to do to respect a burger.
How do you disrespect a burger?

Speaker 2 (01:24:48):
Peapple on it? Listen, I think you don't want again,
you don't want to kill it?

Speaker 1 (01:24:54):
You do, you don't want to. You know, I don't
want dry.

Speaker 2 (01:24:57):
I think sometimes the top things can get a little
too crazy. But you know, there's no wrong way to
eat a burger.

Speaker 1 (01:25:02):
As far as I'm okay, I like that. You know,
when I eat a burger, I just turn it upside
down because the taste hit your tongue differently from the
condiments from the top versus the bottom. Just a little
screwed up. It's usually when I'm stone supposed eat sushi.
When you eating the geary pieces, you're supposed to turn
it upside I do ate sushi with fingers, and people
are just going no, you're supposed to, so you're supposed to.

Speaker 2 (01:25:21):
That's why we give you a live You come to Eto,
which is our Omakazi spot in Tarbecca, one of the
greatest Omo spots Omakazi spots in the city of not
the world.

Speaker 1 (01:25:27):
You get little finger wise where you clean your fingers.

Speaker 2 (01:25:29):
It's meant when you pick up a piece in the geary,
which is the fish served over the rice. If you
try and pick it up with chopsticks, more often than not,
it's gonna break and fall apart.

Speaker 1 (01:25:37):
It's meant to be eaten with your fingers. If you
want it and then in your mouth? What always do
I use the chopsticks to when I go to the
bathroom to put my thing in and out of my pants?
Scary ask a chef with Josh Kpo have you.

Speaker 17 (01:25:51):
Ever been out to eat at a restaurant and said,
oh my god, this is so good, I'm mistealus for
myself and put it on one of your menus?

Speaker 1 (01:25:58):
Why doesn't Scary get this own microphone because of questions
like that.

Speaker 4 (01:26:04):
Answer?

Speaker 2 (01:26:05):
The answer is a thousand percent yes, and imitation is
the biggest form of flattery. Listen, noble, come on, who
doesn't have creamy spicy rocks up on the menu or
the yellow to alipin Like, if you're gonna do it,
obviously show a little respect to make sure you do
it as good, if not better than the original.

Speaker 1 (01:26:21):
One more question, ask a chef, have you ever done
it in the kitchen? Oh, we're not at home. We're
not at home at the restaurant to plead the fifth?
The fifth here, I enjoy that saying is gonna win something.
Hold on, it's our friend, Chris, Chris, Hey, Chris west Milford.
You know what you could roll on into? Uh, have

(01:26:43):
dinner over at Josh Capon's restaurant. You're not far.

Speaker 4 (01:26:49):
Are there every every Monday?

Speaker 1 (01:26:51):
Wait? Wait wait wait, you were every Monday.

Speaker 4 (01:26:53):
I mean like down by the Riverside Square, the.

Speaker 1 (01:26:58):
Shops Riverside, You're there every Monday.

Speaker 2 (01:27:00):
Chris, I want you to tell me the next that
we're gonna We're gonna give you a two hundred and
fifty dollars certificate to enjoy yourself at capeon Shot pals
and and to go along with that certificate, there's more
limited edition. Yes, I have a limited edition capeon Shot
Pause baseball cap. Hopefully, hopefully we're gonna connect offline. We're

(01:27:22):
gonna make this reservation through myself, and I'm gonna hopefully
be there to take you on a culinary journey of
a lifetime. Durancho's gonna become a regular, and we got
hats for everybody about it.

Speaker 6 (01:27:33):
Oh my god.

Speaker 9 (01:27:34):
We have a rule.

Speaker 2 (01:27:35):
We have a rule of capeon shopouse. You don't get
a hat unless you come to the chop house. But
here at the Elvis durantcho that Elvis your first book color?

Speaker 1 (01:27:43):
Do you want? Yes, I'm going for green.

Speaker 2 (01:27:45):
I love that might say that you're slogan on the back,
What did you say, a lot of times when people
give me.

Speaker 1 (01:27:51):
A compliment, I always say, what did you say? Scary? Hey, Chris,
you're eating you when you're having it makes you ask
for a chef Capon to show you where he did
it in the kitchen. Let's make sure we get her
hold on. Congratulations, Congratulations. I love the hats. You say
love with hats hats.

Speaker 2 (01:28:12):
Hats. Hats are one of the greatest advertising promotions of
all time because people love a good baseball hat. Everybody's
on vacation this past winter and everybody's sending me pictures
of their hats by the ocean.

Speaker 1 (01:28:22):
It's great hat, it's great branding. You'll see me in
a Capon's hat very soon. I always believe.

Speaker 2 (01:28:26):
I believe a kitchen and a and a kitchen crew
was similar to a sports team. And I think it's
really nice when everybody's wearing the same cap back there
and part of a team.

Speaker 1 (01:28:35):
I like that.

Speaker 15 (01:28:35):
So you know another reason we love Capon's Yes, straight in,
he's got great energy. I think the next time you're sick,
we should just have him fill in. Okay, maybe like
the next ten minutes. I think, you know again, we
touched on that earlier.

Speaker 2 (01:28:47):
I think everybody needs to wake up in the morning
and say, you know what, I'm going to give out
some really good positive energy today because I think the
world needs more of it.

Speaker 1 (01:28:54):
And just show up.

Speaker 2 (01:28:55):
I always say you're either an asset or a liability
in life. Everybody should be an asset. Bring something to
the table, no pun intended. Bring something to the table,
but show up, greet people with a smile on your face.

Speaker 1 (01:29:04):
Hey how were you today?

Speaker 2 (01:29:05):
And don't just ask the question for the sake of
asking you look them in the eye and say, hey,
how are you doing today?

Speaker 1 (01:29:10):
Because see you gotta check it in on your don't
be an asked and pole I be appreciative what he
just said. That is Josh Capon on a cracker. I
like that. I'm gonna ask you one more question than
we got to get it. Get out of you round.
I'm not leaving. I had a lot of fun. I'm
got me at it bed at eight o'clock in the morning.
I'm not leaving. Here's my question. What is is there
or has there ever been a meal? You sat down

(01:29:31):
and started eating and you actually got a tear in
your eye and you actually almost wept because it just
hit you so hard in the heart and it was
just perfect for that moment where you were, oh.

Speaker 2 (01:29:45):
Tough one I would I would probably say one of
the greatest, most memorable meals I've ever had in my
entire life.

Speaker 1 (01:29:50):
And it's not about the quality.

Speaker 2 (01:29:51):
Of the food of what you're eating, it's where you are,
It's that surroundings, it's the people you're with. When I
traveled abroad, uh, my dad would come visit me a
couple times and take me on these little like little voyages.
And we went to Lake Como, Logcomo, and there was
a restaurant in the middle of the lake on an
island called Isla Deacomonici, and it was the same menu
for one hundred years, and I could take you the

(01:30:12):
whole menu it did. It's a six course menu. It's
it's immaculate and I was fortunate to have that meal
my dad, which one of the greatest dining memories of
my life. And he's along with me, which is great
because I have so many memories to keep me going.
But I took my wife there when we got married
on her honeymoon, and I remember saying, I'm gonna start crying.
In the second, I remember sitting down my wife and
just having flashbacks of being in the same place with

(01:30:32):
my dad. Wow, and it was like just it just
came full circle and I'm a mess over here right now.
To me, it's again, it's what food. It's how powerful
food can be. And it's not about it could be
a burger, it doesn't have to be fine dining, it
doesn't have to be fancy. But here I am sitting
here at my wife and I have pictures of both
occasions with the same staff that was there before.

Speaker 12 (01:30:53):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:30:53):
And to me, it was magical.

Speaker 2 (01:30:54):
And unfortunately that restaurant's not there anymore. But when people
used to ask me one of my favorite dining experiences
is that one.

Speaker 1 (01:31:00):
We all have a favorite one. But you're right, it
could be okay food, but it's the people you're with
and what it's all about. That's what it's all about.
Josh Capon, excellent. Thank you so much for being here today.
Is it really over?

Speaker 12 (01:31:13):
Do I have to leave?

Speaker 1 (01:31:15):
First of all, thank you for having me. And I
gotta tell you, guys have a wonderful thing going over here.

his restaurants and they're fabulous. So go check him out,
Josh Capon. Chop out soon, say Elvis de Ran.

Speaker 2 (01:31:36):
When you walk on the door and something special will happen,
you'll kick your ass right out.

Speaker 1 (01:31:42):
Quite the contrary, we will take it.

Speaker 3 (01:31:43):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:31:44):
Josh.

Speaker 14 (01:31:46):
Oh, there goes Elvis, Elvis Ran in the Morning Show.
This is Elvis in the Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (01:32:00):
It must be juju.

Speaker 6 (01:32:01):
Yeah, hey, it ain't jujo now, yeah juju.

Speaker 1 (01:32:05):
We don't go to the theater. We don't even turn
on Netflix or Hulu or name them all until we
talk to you first about what we should be watching.
Are you guys ready for some juju?

Speaker 4 (01:32:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:32:15):
All right? Where do you want to go?

Speaker 12 (01:32:17):
All right? So we'll start with two things that are
in the theaters right now, because you guys know, I
love the theater, right, I love going And we have
a Pixar movie out. Guys. I don't know how much
you guys love Pixar, but I am a Pixar nut,
and we have Hoppers is out this weekend, and I'm
really excited for everyone to see this one because people

(01:32:37):
are saying that this is Pixar back in rare form.

Speaker 4 (01:32:40):
I saw it.

Speaker 12 (01:32:41):
I went to the premiere last week, and it actually
feels like Pixar is back in rare form. This is
probably the funniest movie that Pixar has ever done. The comedy,
it's it's I'm not even joking with you, guys. The
comedy is so unhinged and it's so unpredictable and it's
so dang funny that me and my daughter were like
racking up the entire freaking time. I'm not gonna spoil it,

(01:33:03):
but there are moments where I literally was like they
did that, like you know, so it's great if you
don't know what if you have For the listeners who
don't know what it's about. Hoppers follows a girl named
Mabel who's really into the environment, really into nature, and
she finds out that a glade is in danger of

(01:33:25):
going like instinct for favor of a highway. So she
pulls an avatar, puts her mind in the body of
a robot beaver to talk to the animals, to convince
them to basically save their own glade. And there's a
lot more that goes into it. It goes really unhinged,
and I was really surprised at all the turns that
it took. But it's really good. I really enjoyed Hoppers.

Speaker 1 (01:33:47):
I just love the thought of putting my body into
a robot beaver on this is this is a film
for me. This sounds like it would be a lot
of fun.

Speaker 12 (01:33:57):
It is a lot of fun.

Speaker 1 (01:33:58):
I love the people who cannot only bring it to
life through the magic of Pixar in their animation, but
the storyline like that is like, that's fabulous.

Speaker 4 (01:34:06):
I love that.

Speaker 12 (01:34:07):
Yeah, all right, this next one we have. You guys
have probably heard of the director, a little known woman
named Maggie Jillenhall. She is directing her second feature debut,
The Bride, which is a new take slash continuation on
the Bride of Frankenstein's story. It's very interesting. It's a
it's a very interesting movie. It's shot interesting. Interesting usually

(01:34:31):
means what right. Interesting In this case, usually usually means
it's it's a divisive movie. And you guys know me
whenever a movie is very divisive. This is where I'm like,
everyone needs to see it because I'm very curious to
see their thoughts on it. As for my thoughts on it,
I enjoyed it. I do think there is some messaging

(01:34:53):
that gets a little loss. I feel like Maggie does
have things she wants to say. I don't know if
all of them will crumb across for a different Answers about.

Speaker 9 (01:35:01):
Arguing Frankenstein purest like I am and I love that
we never knew this about you?

Speaker 12 (01:35:07):
Yes?

Speaker 8 (01:35:07):
Yes?

Speaker 9 (01:35:08):
Do you think somebody who really loves the Bride of
Frankenstein and the story and all that would enjoy it?

Speaker 12 (01:35:15):
I mean answering your question with a question, do you
mind if the Bride of Frankenstein story crossed over with
Bonnie and Clyde.

Speaker 4 (01:35:26):
No?

Speaker 8 (01:35:27):
Not, that might be interesting. I could see I could
do that.

Speaker 12 (01:35:30):
Then I think you'll dig it.

Speaker 1 (01:35:31):
I think you one.

Speaker 12 (01:35:32):
It's also shot in iMac There is a sequence in
the movie that has to do with a ballroom that
I think is amazing. It's beautifully shot, It's awesome. It
literally sticks in your brain. And I do think Jesse
Buckley does put in a really really good performance. I
think Tristian Beale is great in it. But again, it
is a lot to take in, and I do think
it's something that costs a lot of discourse. It makes

(01:35:52):
me excited because I get to like kind of like
break these things down on my TikTok and my podcast
as well, so I'm a little bit closer to the
movie in her thought process, whereas like the average person
may don't have that benefit. So listen to the get
reck with Strigofy podcast if you want a companion piece.
After seeing the movie Shameless Plug.

Speaker 1 (01:36:09):
I've seen it trashed here and there. But you know,
there have been so many movies in the past where
I've seen them trashed and I ended up loving them.

Speaker 12 (01:36:15):
Myself told me exactly. And I'm the guy who tells you, like,
watch watch what you watch him figure it out for
up to say if you didn't want us to see it.
So there is exactly all right. This next one is
a pirate movie. How often do we get a pirate
movie that doesn't have Johnny Depp in it? Yeah, it's
not often, not often. The last and the last one.

(01:36:36):
I think we Guy had Geena Davis, and that one
didn't end well for anybody. This one, this one, guys,
it's called The Bluff, but yes, The Bluff is just
flat out awesome, pirate goodness. I had a lot of
fun with this one. It has Carl Urban, Priyanka Chropra's
in it, and it's just swatchbuckling fun on Prime Video.

(01:36:56):
I think it's one of those movies. I'm starting to
have this thing where sometimes I think it's good for
movies to go to the theater, but then other movies
feel great just to watch it home. And The Bluff
is great just to watch it home.

Speaker 6 (01:37:09):
You told us you were going to start watching more documentaries,
and I am a documentary leave, so I was hoping
you have.

Speaker 1 (01:37:14):
Something for me, or do you have something?

Speaker 12 (01:37:15):
Yes, I do have something. I did watch a documentary.
I held to that promise. However, however, I don't know
when this documentary comes out, so it's not necessarily something
to watch right now, but something to keep your eye on.
It's called What's AI How I became an Apocalyoptimist. Yes, okay,

(01:37:37):
it is a very fascinating look. I believe it's made
by Daniel Mower, And it's literally a documentary that he
made because he was so stressful about where AI is
going and he's about to have a baby, that he
just starts asking a lot of AI experts, a bunch
of them that really like are afraid of AI, then
a bunch who are very positive about AI. Then he

(01:37:59):
got really top and act some people in the middle.
Then he got really depressed and said, I'm gonna talk
to the actual CEOs just short of Mark Zuckerberg and
Elon Musk. And it's a it's a really fascinating like
if you don't know how serious AI is and what
it can do, it's eye opening. But if you want
them to learn the potential of AI and white people
are so obsessed with it, it's a great watch. But
if you want to just go from the perspective of

(01:38:21):
a father who's afraid to bring a child into the
world that he doesn't know, it's it just has all
of these interesting things working with it. So I found
a very eye opening, also very scary, but also kind
of hopeful at the same time. Can I can I
say one more thing, like I just did think of
a It's it's not a documentary but it's a mockumentary,
but that feels very much like a documentary that I

(01:38:43):
think everyone should watch. It's called American Vandal. Has anybody
watched this? Yes? American Van. American Vandal absolutely great. It's
the story. It's the story about a teenager who gets
accused of spray painting phallic things on the school parking
lot cars. But it's played so seriously as like a

(01:39:03):
true crime documentary and these I don't know who wrote this,
I don't know how smart. This person must have went
to Harvard or something. But the dots that are connected
to figure out who's the real culprit of this crime.
I was so locked in and I was like, who
drew the phola?

Speaker 3 (01:39:20):
Thanks?

Speaker 1 (01:39:21):
Who drew it?

Speaker 12 (01:39:23):
I need to know it? Suck you in, I need
the answers. Season one deals with that. Season two deals
with this thing called the browning where someone put laxative
and the water supply and so now they're trying to
figure out who's the culprit who made all the students poop?

Speaker 1 (01:39:37):
Like you follow the vandals American American Vandal, I'm in
Where is this playing?

Speaker 12 (01:39:44):
This is on Netflix? It is on Netflix, And again
it's so funny, but it's but the comedy comes from
the fact that it's played so seriously, like it is
like so straight.

Speaker 1 (01:39:55):
It's great, all right, Juju, we started in the theater.
Pictar is back with something called and you love it.
