Speaker 1 (00:00):
We have to talk to O's about being at the
Correspondence dinner. He was in the middle of it. He
was giving the punchline to a trick and then shots
rang out. You know, this wacko with his gun. God,
can we get rid of these wackos anyway? But it
ruined his trick. So I don't mean to laugh, but
(00:21):
I mean this was his his starring role at the
Correspondence dinner doing this trick. Okay, Can we talk about
how before he left and he was talking about the
Correspondent centner, he was like, if everything goes away, I
think it's going to go This is going to be
talked about for quite some time. He's right, he was right.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
He was right.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
But you know that trick again, I don't know. I'd
rather you not. That trick's not bringing good luck, good
luck to anyone? Is he coming to energy eating the pizza?
Ohs TikTok TikTok doing a show. But I want to
(00:59):
go to his filming at Brooklyn Paramount a new TV special.
Oh's peerman is he is such a superstar? Do you
think he'll get us in if I just get him
in the room. There's O's I'm so glad you're here today,
and I'm dang see you one hundred in the house. Yes,
we are, you're in the Z one hundred house. Yeah,
(01:20):
welcome to the show. We have so much to talk about.
A lot has happened since last time, No kitty, last
time you were here, it was you were so excited,
you were packed, your bags were packed to go to Washington,
d C. For the correspondence dinner. Yes, and then shots
rang out as we saw. That was the scariest moment
in my life, let me tell you. And thank god
everyone's okay. Yes, you know. But another travesty that happened
(01:44):
there was you were giving the punchline to a great trick,
trick and the shots rang out and ruin the whole thing. Yeah,
it means it's it's been a blessing and a curse.
The blessing is nobody got hurt, thank god. Yeah, police washing,
you see, police, secret Service acted fast. Everyone was safe.
But I am now cursed for the rest of my life.
(02:04):
People being like, you're a mentalist. Why didn't you see
that coming? Oh? I thought it, Yes, everyone thought it.
The memes of the world's note But here's my favorite
photo of ohs, he's standing between the President of the
United States and the first lady. Yes, and he has
the card written and on the card is written like
the thing that's supposed to make everyone go, oh my god,
(02:26):
you read our minds, but instead there's shot stringing out.
There's secret service like jumping on the president and you're like, well,
when he jumped on me for the record, They're like
he is not worth protecting it.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Also, so many people thought, oh, that guy brought him
a note before it all happened, right, they thought you
were the note guy.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Do you know what that note was? So Carolyn Levitt,
who the press secretary, when we were backstage, they have
us in a line to go out, and she challenges
me and goes, we were actually talking about kids and
I have five children. She's having her second, and she goes,
can you guess what I'm gonna name my baby? And
I go ooh, I sense a challenge, and then we
(03:07):
were brought out. So at that moment, we're coming out,
and I said, I'm gonna come back over. I'm I'm
not gonna forget about you, and so I walked over.
After the Pledge of allegiance, there was a band that played.
They were amazing, and I kind of made a bee
line over because we had this hanging thread, and she
introduced me. I met the first lady briefly. I'm at
the president for a moment, and I said, let me
see if I can get this, and so I'm looking
at her the way I kind of figure stuff out
(03:28):
how many letters it is dissected the name, and then
right at that moment where I rip it off to
show her the name of her baby, right as it
rips off is the moment when the shots ring out
in the room. I don't know time shots ring out,
because if you actually look at it, it's the moment
that the Secret Service stormed the room and that we
the commotion overtook us on stage of like what is
going on right now? And it's not a medical emergency
(03:50):
and it's something serious that it's crazy. But out of
such a horrifying event, there were so many funny things
that happened right for instance, your triquent flat, yes, but
also people were running to get out of the room,
(04:11):
but some people just stayed and ate their salads. I
saw all the memes afterwards, and it's kind of like
there was a gallows humor. Once we realized we were safe,
which was a while because phones didn't work because you've
got twenty four hundred journalists or twenty six hundred urmis.
Everyone's trying to call someone else. I couldn't get a
hold of My wife was in the room to make sure.
Once we were safe, I'm like, my wife's in the room,
(04:31):
what's going on? And then we had thought that there
was more than one shooter. Was there like, it was
just chaos for upwards of twenty minutes. I would say,
good god, that's a long time. Yeah, did you get
the name right? I did get the name right?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
WHOA.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
So that's the craziest part about it. Did you finish
your salad? I didn't eat anything? Oh my gosh. And
then we couldn't leave the building because they had it
under lockdown. So then you can't get new breaths and
they never serve food. It is it is like Hash said, problem,
We're like, are we going to eat something? Someone tried
to assassinate the president of the United States and you're
(05:07):
sitting there going my bellies rub is not a true
elements that is I was fine adrenaline dump until like
four am. I couldn't sleep. I have never gotten more
text messages in my life ever because people that somebody
sat next me on a plane twelve years ago. Are
you the guy next to the president? You know, it
was like my face was everywhere. Well, I'm so happy
that everyone got out of there. Okay, me too, that's all. Yeah,
(05:30):
we all are. It's rescheduled, so it's it's happening. Oh
that's cool. Okay, I get the chance, you're going back.
I'm back if I see if I was President Trump, Like, no,
I don't want this guy. He brought me some one
month from today, July twenty four. All right, all right,
now on July sixteenth, a few days before that, you're
(05:50):
doing your filming for your TV special sum at Brooklyn Paramount.
I are we invited? Can we go to? Come on?
Are you joking? Honored? Please come Glynn Paramount. We are
filming my Netflix special. This is a dream. Comes you've
been there, It's stunning, it's beautiful. It is stunning. If
you haven't been there before, I walked in, took my
breath away, and I performed Radio City Musical. I've formed
(06:13):
some incredible rooms. Brooklyn Paramount is an amazing grande. No
shooting's allowed. We want to get to the Let's get
to the ends of the tracks. All right? Ohs we
have so much going on with pizza on the way,
but no one's pizza. It's seven sixteen am. This is
award winning pizza from a good friend of ours. It's
(06:34):
the best. You'll love it. Uh. Anyway, what do you
want to do? I'm afraid talk a little, then I'll
do a little I'm afraid tricks because last time Scary
almost had a heart attack? Can we can we talk
about the fact that Scary had a near aneurysm in
the room. Kim I started touching you and you were like,
please don't touch me. He touches me touching? All right,
So what do you want to do? Let's do something?
(06:56):
What do we like? I like when you do the
phone taps? Yes, you know what you do. It's interesting
with the phone taps. Is you kind of do a
version of mentalism where you lie believably? Am I right?
Lie believably? People have to believe the lie or else
it goes flat. Who do you think is the best
liar in the room? Oh, oh god, We're all a
bunch of liars. Honestly, it's like the one as far
(07:19):
as the phone taps go, and Danielle's she was very
good at the phone taps. But yeah, Gary is a
great liar. Goney Gandhi was a great liar in the
one phone tap. She did that one time. One phone tap.
Froggy is Froggy is great at phone taps. All right,
here's what I want you to do. So when I
walked in here, we had been a moment together and
you can get it. Get in here. Yeah, And I said,
(07:40):
who is? I asked you guys this question. I want
them to know what happened before, which is very momentary.
I said, who likes to talk on the phone the most?
Daniel you unanimously told me it was Danielle likes to talk.
Good God. I like personal talking. You're the opposite of
my wife. I like talking on the phone. She's like,
just text me. I don't even talk to you. I
know all your stories. So if I go, who could
(08:01):
you call on the phone? And I go, this is
a question, who could you call on a phone? That
would answer? Because that's a very unique human being. Somebody
you go, you call on the phone, they would answer.
The frame. Now I know the time zone right now,
that it could be somebody you never know who. But
I want you to imagine you're not actually gonna call,
but you call this person and maybe they'd answer, maybe
(08:22):
they wouldn't. But let me look into your eyes. She's
looking at she's bouncing, Folks. Bouncing is like shifty eyes.
It's when somebody's not sure their choice yet. I think
I think you're like, I've got one person, but maybe
they won't answer, maybe they're sleep, but I've got another person.
Is that right? Are you debating two people? I am
you are first person? Percentage wise if we text them
(08:45):
right now, if we call, what do you think they
percent why they'd answer? Second person? What percent?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I'm gonna say fifty percent?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Fifty percent? Yes, I feel like I feel like I
don't know true. Okay, think of the person who's less
likely to answer, and if we texted them, you know what,
Grab your phone. Make sure there's no cameras, nothing where
I could see this. Is there any way I could
possibly see what you're doing? I don't think Scooch the
(09:15):
chair back even Scooch Scooch Okay, text text both people
and say, just you know, new phone? Who is no.
Is it a group text? Do they know each other?
Have you? Daniel? Everyone always says to me when I
leave there, you set this up? You stays Is there
(09:35):
any way in the world I could possibly know any
of these people or who this would be, or any
of this. I mean, Danielle doesn't even know. No, she's
a little slow. All right, you already you texted one.
I could see you're doing. You texted one already, but
you haven't gotten a Has there been a response? No response?
You did? Are you getting three dots? How quick are
these people? I love it? I love it. Who responded
(09:58):
the second person or the first? The first? I think
it's a female. Is that a female? Guys? They're terrible, okay,
terrible human beings. All right, watch, I want you to
count in your mind, in your mind, in your mind,
the number of letters in her first name, just to yourself.
(10:20):
See how people who says, how do you do this?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Now?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
On the radio? You can't see what I saw, But
I saw Daniel's eyes move up, down, up, down, up down,
and she did it in a certain way where you
know it wasn't a long name like Alexandra. It's very
hard to count that much under pressure. It felt like
but it's it's it's a beats. It's just like music.
Five letters, this is the first name, five letters, Yeah, yeah, right,
(10:44):
it's it's like watching poker. It's like watching poker. Okay,
by the way, here goes O's perlman about to freak us.
All out right, all right, I want you? Is there
how many people's phone numbers do you know by heart? Memorized? Dude,
nobody's nobody knows any means but not. You don't know
this person his phone number? Do you never call somebody? Okay,
think of the first letter of her name, and then
(11:08):
jumped to the last letter. Last letters, A vowel, isn't
it Yah? Yeah, Sea, she's Italian. I mean, oh, it's
really call her, call her, call her, call her. Don't
let me. Don't put it to your put it to
your ear, though, please hold on. Put it on this
(11:29):
side where I can't see the phone. I can't see anything.
You can't see it. I can't see it. She's sucking.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Hey, hi, hold on, I have no idea what we're doing.
It's some kind of a mind trick. And I was
supposed to call to see if you would answer, and
you answered and you texted back, and now he's trying
to figure out who you are on the phone. He
has no idea, But I picked your name from all
my contacts.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Literally, is that correct? Not before, not after? You could
have picked anybody. You change your mind in the middle. Uh,
ask her to think of atm pin code. She just
got to call it seven fifteen in the morning. That
was in your life. Have an idea. I have an idea.
Tell her to make up a fake pin code. But
let's do this something that if we reveal uh, you know,
(12:13):
do you know her phone number?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Heart?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Okay, So ask her let's change it, because if I
really reveal her pin copeople really pissed off. Uh. Tell
her to imagine the bank calls her, says, change your
pin code, and instead we're going to do like the
last four digits of her phone number or her new
pin code.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
The bank calls you and tells you that you have
to change your pin code. So do the last four
digits of your phone number? Which was to do with that?
Think of it.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I don't know unless you want, but millions of people
are going to hear it's a logical question. Okay, Yeah,
put her on speaker again. Make sure your phone never
shows me a name or that I could see anything,
and then put her close to the phone.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I'm the microphone.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Hello, don't curse. Okay, go ahead, Hello are you there? Yes? Okay,
nice to meet you. I'm trying to assess from her voice,
we don't know who you are. You sound delightful. I'm
os by the way, I told Daniel, think of anyone.
You were actually your second choice, which is really mean.
(13:18):
I said, change your mind. A couple of times. She
changed her mind. She has called you. I want you
to think, what does she sound like? Say hello again? Hello? Like?
Does that sound like a Lauren and Michelle? No? No,
I feel like it's a unique name. You know. Think
of any letter in your first name. Think of any
of the letters in your first name right now? Can
(13:39):
you do that for me? Yeah? Okay, you didn't think
of the first letter? Did you?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I did?
Speaker 1 (13:47):
You did because you felt But then you then you
were hesitant because you're like, will that give away my name?
Because if I know the first letter, I could figure
out the B. Does your name start with a B?
Is this set up? Did we do anything? The world?
I could have known? Who you have just texted? Or called.
Oh okay, I want you right now to imagine, like
(14:08):
I said, it's your pin code, not now your real
pincod because I don't want ruin your life, but that
you've made up a fake pin code. Is that correct?
A mystery person name B. Yes, okay, so you've made
up a fake pin code. Daniell's called you out of
the blue. Think of the four digits, and I want
you to think of just the first digit of this
made up code. And I want you to say one, two, three, four, five, six,
(14:30):
seventy nine zero. Say it out loud, just like that,
Just say the digits of my made up cord. No, no,
I'm sorry, Just go one, two, three, four like say
all ten digits one two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight nine ten. Okay. She was about to say that accidentally.
Did you guys hear it when I said, should I
say the actual pinchuits? The pin code you just made
(14:54):
up starts the seven, doesn't it? Yes?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
How does this very is late?
Speaker 1 (15:00):
You went to the ATM, you swipe the card. You're
doing the seven is the first code. Think to yourself,
where do you go next? What's the next digit? Then
you do the third digit? Then you do the fourth digit.
Say it one more time one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven eight nine zero. Go say all the digits one
more time for me, one last time, seven eight nine ten.
(15:22):
Why did you say ten instead of zero? Your ATM
pin code? It's seven seven seven zero, isn't it? Yes?
I thought your name it's not Brandy? Are you Brady?
Is your name Brady? Yes? From Brady because no one
(15:43):
else has my name nobody and I don't know any.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Other Brady's but her Brady Harrison.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Oh my god, how funny, hie, Brady? Are you Brady? Brady?
Change your ATM pin code right now? This isn't a
phone tap. Your life is ending as we speak. Change everything.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
That's happy, Jacks.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
That's so funny. Brady, Alright, that's crazy. I hang up
with her now. I just talk to the next level.
We didn't even do it in the room. You called
someone and I guess their atmpan.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
That is insane. I can't ay I recognize her voice.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
That's Brady. That's I'm like, really, Oh, oh's O? My
name is a nightmare that it's going to be in
the special we're going to discuss why was it O's
and not Oz do I have to wait for the
special So it's an interesting thing. So my name I
was born in Israel. I moved to the US when
I was three years old, and so I've talked to
doctor Oz about this at length because we both He's
(16:38):
Turkish and so his name was also the same pronunciation.
But when I got here my family, so I was
born a twin and my the other twin died at
birth right, and so my name was supposed to be
a different name. I could have been Bill, you know,
it would have been like Bill the magic. I don't
know what happened, but my name means brave and strong.
It's like a biblical name. So because I survived, that
was the meaning of the name was they switched it,
(16:59):
and so in Hebrew the pronunciation is different. And when
my family got here, I think they were not familiar
with the Wizard of Oz. And what difficulties I would
have to overcome saying my name the wrong way for
the next forty three years of my life. The Wizard
of O's the Wizard of Ost great and powerful. So
I and then became a magician slash mentalist. So really
this went against me. You know, every time someone hears
(17:20):
you on our show, They're like, where can I see
O's Perlman? And now you get too, so where can
we see fri State area? So I have so many
shows coming up. There's an amazing venue in the city
called the Stand West. It's incredible comedy club, new location.

(18:02):
live in the city, right I do. How are you
going to get to West Hampton? Are you running? I'm
running there. You've done it before, did you know? Oh's
Peerlman has run from from what the tip of Long Island?
On Talk to Manhattan. Oh wow, hottest day of the summer,
one hundred and thirty miles. Why why so that anytime
my children ever complain on the l I e. About
how long it's taking, I can say I ran this
(18:25):
in a snow boat. I swear to guy, ran it
in twenty one hours. What do you think about when
you run for twenty one hours? When is this over?
When will this be over? Think about where am I
going to pee next? No, honestly, I mean where do
you peek? You just want yourself? Do you want to
know the truth? Yes? Am I going to get arrested
on the way? So I this is pretty gross. I
will sometimes stop to be but I don't want to stop.
(18:46):
So I can pee while running, not myself, but sideways.
I'm not impressed. Can you demonstrate this? I'm thinking I'm
peeing right now. I'm peeing right now as well. I
actually turned to the side and I side skip while peeing.
Not in a marathon, but in an ultra Think about it,
if you're running for twenty one hours, Yeah, it's just
too much time. I'm trying to break a record here, folks.
(19:06):
Okay number two does require a stop as one. Oh
thank God, can we see the interview with Alex Honold
who does this the climbing Hassen Minaj's good friend interviewed
him and asked the question that we all want to know,
how do you poop while on the mountain? And I
was just on the edge of my seat and he goes,
I just poop, And I'm like, what do you mean
by that? He goes, I just poop? Imagine watching Alex
Honold and then hitting getting hit by his crack car
(19:30):
walking down the street as they go. We were talking
about this the other day. I wish we could be
like cows and horses just walk down the street and
it just falls out. Is that where you wish? That's
my number one wish. All right, by the way, would
you stick around and be on our podcast today because
we have to do the pause? Sure, let's do it. Wait,
do we have time for one more trick? Can I?

to who these ten people are? Is it a surprise
birthday or was expected? Probably my birthday? Yeah, it's expected. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

all right, somebody walks up. First person walks up, gives
you a big old hug, and look see the I say,
happy birthday, Nate. You look at this person. If that
person at a birthday party, would you attend? Yes? Absolute?

We have to talk to O's about being at the
Correspondence dinner. He was in the middle of it. He
was giving the punchline to a trick and then shots
rang out. You know, this wacko with his gun. God,
can we get rid of these wackos anyway? But it
ruined his trick. So I don't mean to laugh, but
(00:21):
I mean this was his his starring role at the
Correspondence dinner doing this trick. Okay, Can we talk about
how before he left and he was talking about the
Correspondent centner, he was like, if everything goes away, I
think it's going to go This is going to be
talked about for quite some time. He's right, he was right.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
He was right.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
But you know that trick again, I don't know. I'd
rather you not. That trick's not bringing good luck, good
luck to anyone? Is he coming to energy eating the pizza?
Ohs TikTok TikTok doing a show. But I want to
(00:59):
go to his filming at Brooklyn Paramount a new TV special.
Oh's peerman is he is such a superstar? Do you
think he'll get us in if I just get him
in the room. There's O's I'm so glad you're here today,
and I'm dang see you one hundred in the house. Yes,
we are, you're in the Z one hundred house. Yeah,
(01:20):
welcome to the show. We have so much to talk about.
A lot has happened since last time, No kitty, last
time you were here, it was you were so excited,
you were packed, your bags were packed to go to Washington,
d C. For the correspondence dinner. Yes, and then shots
rang out as we saw. That was the scariest moment
in my life, let me tell you. And thank god
everyone's okay. Yes, you know. But another travesty that happened
(01:44):
there was you were giving the punchline to a great trick,
trick and the shots rang out and ruin the whole thing. Yeah,
it means it's it's been a blessing and a curse.
The blessing is nobody got hurt, thank god. Yeah, police washing,
you see, police, secret Service acted fast. Everyone was safe.
But I am now cursed for the rest of my life.
(02:04):
People being like, you're a mentalist. Why didn't you see
that coming? Oh? I thought it, Yes, everyone thought it.
The memes of the world's note But here's my favorite
photo of ohs, he's standing between the President of the
United States and the first lady. Yes, and he has
the card written and on the card is written like
the thing that's supposed to make everyone go, oh my god,
(02:26):
you read our minds, but instead there's shot stringing out.
There's secret service like jumping on the president and you're like, well,
when he jumped on me for the record, They're like
he is not worth protecting it.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Also, so many people thought, oh, that guy brought him
a note before it all happened, right, they thought you
were the note guy.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Do you know what that note was? So Carolyn Levitt,
who the press secretary, when we were backstage, they have
us in a line to go out, and she challenges
me and goes, we were actually talking about kids and
I have five children. She's having her second, and she goes,
can you guess what I'm gonna name my baby? And
I go ooh, I sense a challenge, and then we
(03:07):
were brought out. So at that moment, we're coming out,
and I said, I'm gonna come back over. I'm I'm
not gonna forget about you, and so I walked over.
After the Pledge of allegiance, there was a band that played.
They were amazing, and I kind of made a bee
line over because we had this hanging thread, and she
introduced me. I met the first lady briefly. I'm at
the president for a moment, and I said, let me
see if I can get this, and so I'm looking
at her the way I kind of figure stuff out
(03:28):
how many letters it is dissected the name, and then
right at that moment where I rip it off to
show her the name of her baby, right as it
rips off is the moment when the shots ring out
in the room. I don't know time shots ring out,
because if you actually look at it, it's the moment
that the Secret Service stormed the room and that we
the commotion overtook us on stage of like what is
going on right now? And it's not a medical emergency
(03:50):
and it's something serious that it's crazy. But out of
such a horrifying event, there were so many funny things
that happened right for instance, your triquent flat, yes, but
also people were running to get out of the room,
(04:11):
but some people just stayed and ate their salads. I
saw all the memes afterwards, and it's kind of like
there was a gallows humor. Once we realized we were safe,
which was a while because phones didn't work because you've
got twenty four hundred journalists or twenty six hundred urmis.
Everyone's trying to call someone else. I couldn't get a
hold of My wife was in the room to make sure.
Once we were safe, I'm like, my wife's in the room,
(04:31):
what's going on? And then we had thought that there
was more than one shooter. Was there like, it was
just chaos for upwards of twenty minutes. I would say,
good god, that's a long time. Yeah, did you get
the name right? I did get the name right?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
WHOA.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
So that's the craziest part about it. Did you finish
your salad? I didn't eat anything? Oh my gosh. And
then we couldn't leave the building because they had it
under lockdown. So then you can't get new breaths and
they never serve food. It is it is like Hash said, problem,
We're like, are we going to eat something? Someone tried
to assassinate the president of the United States and you're
(05:07):
sitting there going my bellies rub is not a true
elements that is I was fine adrenaline dump until like
four am. I couldn't sleep. I have never gotten more
text messages in my life ever because people that somebody
sat next me on a plane twelve years ago. Are
you the guy next to the president? You know, it
was like my face was everywhere. Well, I'm so happy
that everyone got out of there. Okay, me too, that's all. Yeah,
(05:30):
we all are. It's rescheduled, so it's it's happening. Oh
that's cool. Okay, I get the chance, you're going back.
I'm back if I see if I was President Trump, Like, no,
I don't want this guy. He brought me some one
month from today, July twenty four. All right, all right,
now on July sixteenth, a few days before that, you're
(05:50):
doing your filming for your TV special sum at Brooklyn Paramount.
I are we invited? Can we go to? Come on?
Are you joking? Honored? Please come Glynn Paramount. We are
filming my Netflix special. This is a dream. Comes you've
been there, It's stunning, it's beautiful. It is stunning. If
you haven't been there before, I walked in, took my
breath away, and I performed Radio City Musical. I've formed
(06:13):
some incredible rooms. Brooklyn Paramount is an amazing grande. No
shooting's allowed. We want to get to the Let's get
to the ends of the tracks. All right? Ohs we
have so much going on with pizza on the way,
but no one's pizza. It's seven sixteen am. This is
award winning pizza from a good friend of ours. It's
(06:34):
the best. You'll love it. Uh. Anyway, what do you
want to do? I'm afraid talk a little, then I'll
do a little I'm afraid tricks because last time Scary
almost had a heart attack? Can we can we talk
about the fact that Scary had a near aneurysm in
the room. Kim I started touching you and you were like,
please don't touch me. He touches me touching? All right,
So what do you want to do? Let's do something?
(06:56):
What do we like? I like when you do the
phone taps? Yes, you know what you do. It's interesting
with the phone taps. Is you kind of do a
version of mentalism where you lie believably? Am I right?
Lie believably? People have to believe the lie or else
it goes flat. Who do you think is the best
liar in the room? Oh, oh god, We're all a
bunch of liars. Honestly, it's like the one as far
(07:19):
as the phone taps go, and Danielle's she was very
good at the phone taps. But yeah, Gary is a
great liar. Goney Gandhi was a great liar in the
one phone tap. She did that one time. One phone tap.
Froggy is Froggy is great at phone taps. All right,
here's what I want you to do. So when I
walked in here, we had been a moment together and
you can get it. Get in here. Yeah, And I said,
(07:40):
who is? I asked you guys this question. I want
them to know what happened before, which is very momentary.
I said, who likes to talk on the phone the most?
Daniel you unanimously told me it was Danielle likes to talk.
Good God. I like personal talking. You're the opposite of
my wife. I like talking on the phone. She's like,
just text me. I don't even talk to you. I
know all your stories. So if I go, who could
(08:01):
you call on the phone? And I go, this is
a question, who could you call on a phone? That
would answer? Because that's a very unique human being. Somebody
you go, you call on the phone, they would answer.
The frame. Now I know the time zone right now,
that it could be somebody you never know who. But
I want you to imagine you're not actually gonna call,
but you call this person and maybe they'd answer, maybe
(08:22):
they wouldn't. But let me look into your eyes. She's
looking at she's bouncing, Folks. Bouncing is like shifty eyes.
It's when somebody's not sure their choice yet. I think
I think you're like, I've got one person, but maybe
they won't answer, maybe they're sleep, but I've got another person.
Is that right? Are you debating two people? I am
you are first person? Percentage wise if we text them
(08:45):
right now, if we call, what do you think they
percent why they'd answer? Second person? What percent?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I'm gonna say fifty percent?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Fifty percent? Yes, I feel like I feel like I
don't know true. Okay, think of the person who's less
likely to answer, and if we texted them, you know what,
Grab your phone. Make sure there's no cameras, nothing where
I could see this. Is there any way I could
possibly see what you're doing? I don't think Scooch the
(09:15):
chair back even Scooch Scooch Okay, text text both people
and say, just you know, new phone? Who is no.
Is it a group text? Do they know each other?
Have you? Daniel? Everyone always says to me when I
leave there, you set this up? You stays Is there
(09:35):
any way in the world I could possibly know any
of these people or who this would be, or any
of this. I mean, Danielle doesn't even know. No, she's
a little slow. All right, you already you texted one.
I could see you're doing. You texted one already, but
you haven't gotten a Has there been a response? No response?
You did? Are you getting three dots? How quick are
these people? I love it? I love it. Who responded
(09:58):
the second person or the first? The first? I think
it's a female. Is that a female? Guys? They're terrible, okay,
terrible human beings. All right, watch, I want you to
count in your mind, in your mind, in your mind,
the number of letters in her first name, just to yourself.
(10:20):
See how people who says, how do you do this?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Now?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
On the radio? You can't see what I saw, But
I saw Daniel's eyes move up, down, up, down, up down,
and she did it in a certain way where you
know it wasn't a long name like Alexandra. It's very
hard to count that much under pressure. It felt like
but it's it's it's a beats. It's just like music.
Five letters, this is the first name, five letters, Yeah, yeah, right,
(10:44):
it's it's like watching poker. It's like watching poker. Okay,
by the way, here goes O's perlman about to freak us.
All out right, all right, I want you? Is there
how many people's phone numbers do you know by heart? Memorized? Dude,
nobody's nobody knows any means but not. You don't know
this person his phone number? Do you never call somebody? Okay,
think of the first letter of her name, and then
(11:08):
jumped to the last letter. Last letters, A vowel, isn't
it Yah? Yeah, Sea, she's Italian. I mean, oh, it's
really call her, call her, call her, call her. Don't
let me. Don't put it to your put it to
your ear, though, please hold on. Put it on this
(11:29):
side where I can't see the phone. I can't see anything.
You can't see it. I can't see it. She's sucking.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Hey, hi, hold on, I have no idea what we're doing.
It's some kind of a mind trick. And I was
supposed to call to see if you would answer, and
you answered and you texted back, and now he's trying
to figure out who you are on the phone. He
has no idea, But I picked your name from all
my contacts.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Literally, is that correct? Not before, not after? You could
have picked anybody. You change your mind in the middle. Uh,
ask her to think of atm pin code. She just
got to call it seven fifteen in the morning. That
was in your life. Have an idea. I have an idea.
Tell her to make up a fake pin code. But
let's do this something that if we reveal uh, you know,
(12:13):
do you know her phone number?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Heart?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Okay, So ask her let's change it, because if I
really reveal her pin copeople really pissed off. Uh. Tell
her to imagine the bank calls her, says, change your
pin code, and instead we're going to do like the
last four digits of her phone number or her new
pin code.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
The bank calls you and tells you that you have
to change your pin code. So do the last four
digits of your phone number? Which was to do with that?
Think of it.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I don't know unless you want, but millions of people
are going to hear it's a logical question. Okay, Yeah,
put her on speaker again. Make sure your phone never
shows me a name or that I could see anything,
and then put her close to the phone.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I'm the microphone.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Hello, don't curse. Okay, go ahead, Hello are you there? Yes? Okay,
nice to meet you. I'm trying to assess from her voice,
we don't know who you are. You sound delightful. I'm
os by the way, I told Daniel, think of anyone.
You were actually your second choice, which is really mean.
(13:18):
I said, change your mind. A couple of times. She
changed her mind. She has called you. I want you
to think, what does she sound like? Say hello again? Hello? Like?
Does that sound like a Lauren and Michelle? No? No,
I feel like it's a unique name. You know. Think
of any letter in your first name. Think of any
of the letters in your first name right now? Can
(13:39):
you do that for me? Yeah? Okay, you didn't think
of the first letter? Did you?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I did?
Speaker 1 (13:47):
You did because you felt But then you then you
were hesitant because you're like, will that give away my name?
Because if I know the first letter, I could figure
out the B. Does your name start with a B?
Is this set up? Did we do anything? The world?
I could have known? Who you have just texted? Or called.
Oh okay, I want you right now to imagine, like
(14:08):
I said, it's your pin code, not now your real
pincod because I don't want ruin your life, but that
you've made up a fake pin code. Is that correct?
A mystery person name B. Yes, okay, so you've made
up a fake pin code. Daniell's called you out of
the blue. Think of the four digits, and I want
you to think of just the first digit of this
made up code. And I want you to say one, two, three, four, five, six,
(14:30):
seventy nine zero. Say it out loud, just like that,
Just say the digits of my made up cord. No, no,
I'm sorry, Just go one, two, three, four like say
all ten digits one two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight nine ten. Okay. She was about to say that accidentally.
Did you guys hear it when I said, should I
say the actual pinchuits? The pin code you just made
(14:54):
up starts the seven, doesn't it? Yes?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
How does this very is late?
Speaker 1 (15:00):
You went to the ATM, you swipe the card. You're
doing the seven is the first code. Think to yourself,
where do you go next? What's the next digit? Then
you do the third digit? Then you do the fourth digit.
Say it one more time one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven eight nine zero. Go say all the digits one
more time for me, one last time, seven eight nine ten.
(15:22):
Why did you say ten instead of zero? Your ATM
pin code? It's seven seven seven zero, isn't it? Yes?
I thought your name it's not Brandy? Are you Brady?
Is your name Brady? Yes? From Brady because no one
(15:43):
else has my name nobody and I don't know any.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Other Brady's but her Brady Harrison.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Oh my god, how funny, hie, Brady? Are you Brady? Brady?
Change your ATM pin code right now? This isn't a
phone tap. Your life is ending as we speak. Change everything.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
That's happy, Jacks.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
That's so funny. Brady, Alright, that's crazy. I hang up
with her now. I just talk to the next level.
We didn't even do it in the room. You called
someone and I guess their atmpan.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
That is insane. I can't ay I recognize her voice.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
That's Brady. That's I'm like, really, Oh, oh's O? My
name is a nightmare that it's going to be in
the special we're going to discuss why was it O's
and not Oz do I have to wait for the
special So it's an interesting thing. So my name I
was born in Israel. I moved to the US when
I was three years old, and so I've talked to
doctor Oz about this at length because we both He's
(16:38):
Turkish and so his name was also the same pronunciation.
But when I got here my family, so I was
born a twin and my the other twin died at
birth right, and so my name was supposed to be
a different name. I could have been Bill, you know,
it would have been like Bill the magic. I don't
know what happened, but my name means brave and strong.
It's like a biblical name. So because I survived, that
was the meaning of the name was they switched it,
(16:59):
and so in Hebrew the pronunciation is different. And when
my family got here, I think they were not familiar
with the Wizard of Oz. And what difficulties I would
have to overcome saying my name the wrong way for
the next forty three years of my life. The Wizard
of O's the Wizard of Ost great and powerful. So
I and then became a magician slash mentalist. So really
this went against me. You know, every time someone hears
(17:20):
you on our show, They're like, where can I see
O's Perlman? And now you get too, so where can
we see fri State area? So I have so many
shows coming up. There's an amazing venue in the city
called the Stand West. It's incredible comedy club, new location.

going to get to West Hampton? Are you running? I'm
running there. You've done it before, did you know? Oh's
Peerlman has run from from what the tip of Long Island?
On Talk to Manhattan. Oh wow, hottest day of the summer,
one hundred and thirty miles. Why why so that anytime
my children ever complain on the l I e. About
how long it's taking, I can say I ran this
(18:25):
in a snow boat. I swear to guy, ran it
in twenty one hours. What do you think about when
you run for twenty one hours? When is this over?
When will this be over? Think about where am I
going to pee next? No, honestly, I mean where do
you peek? You just want yourself? Do you want to
know the truth? Yes? Am I going to get arrested
on the way? So I this is pretty gross. I
will sometimes stop to be but I don't want to stop.
(18:46):
So I can pee while running, not myself, but sideways.
I'm not impressed. Can you demonstrate this? I'm thinking I'm
peeing right now. I'm peeing right now as well. I
actually turned to the side and I side skip while peeing.
Not in a marathon, but in an ultra Think about it,
if you're running for twenty one hours, Yeah, it's just
too much time. I'm trying to break a record here, folks.
(19:06):
Okay number two does require a stop as one. Oh
thank God, can we see the interview with Alex Honold
who does this the climbing Hassen Minaj's good friend interviewed
him and asked the question that we all want to know,
how do you poop while on the mountain? And I
was just on the edge of my seat and he goes,
I just poop, And I'm like, what do you mean
by that? He goes, I just poop? Imagine watching Alex
Honold and then hitting getting hit by his crack car
(19:30):
walking down the street as they go. We were talking
about this the other day. I wish we could be
like cows and horses just walk down the street and
it just falls out. Is that where you wish? That's
my number one wish. All right, by the way, would
