Speaker 1 (00:08):
Hello, it's me Artsimone.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I had this grand idea to speak with the most regular,
very normal, and painfully ordinary people. Boring that's what they
seem like from first glance or first listen. But really
they are concealing something from us. It might be a
naughty secret, the most bizarre profession you've ever heard of,
or a hobby that will make you go, how the
bloody hell did they get into that? And it gets
(00:33):
even better because I have no idea who these people
are or what they're keeping concealed. I've got to do
a bit of detective work to figure it out for us.
Welcome to Concealed with Art Simone. Oh that's the guest,
get that type rolling.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Hey, I'm Anthony. I am from the Gold Coast and
I used to be a carpenter, so outside of my work,
I am a very keen surfer. Keen not necessarily good,
but I am keening and also proud father to two wonderful,
wonderful little girls. But there is a secret that I
don't think Art Simone's going to get about me because
(01:10):
it's not the kind of thing that you would hear
in everyday conversation.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
How are you going, Anthony, very good.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
How are you.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I'm doing very well. That would love you to meet you.
Where are you streaming in from today?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I am on the sunny Gold Coast.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Oh, I'm so jealous.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I love the Gold Coast only because it's just so
disgustingly tacky and so am I.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I love every single bit of it.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Get me down Cavil Avenue with all the drunk bitches
hanging out in front of the McDonald's, or you know,
just Oh, I love it.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I love it. I've got a star casino, spend lots
of money.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
That's pretty humid. Now that's gonna play havoc with your hair.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Well, the good news for you is my hair is plastic,
so it'll survive. I'm going to describe you are very
clean cut, good looking guy. You're in a nice at
the moment. You're well kept, but slightly generic.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Maybe I've done this on purpose. Maybe I'm trying to
throw you off the same.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Well, I'm just I'm just trying to say there's nothing
like strange or like interesting to describe about you. You're
just like a nice looking person. Let me throw the
ball back in your court. There's a lot more to
describe on your screen. What you're looking at, isn't this?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
There's glits and glamour and shiny stuff and hair and makeup.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Everywhere exactly, so please, I'm not being rude. I'm just
calling it as I sees it, all right, all right,
So yeah, surfing.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
You'd like to say, so you'd like to keep fit?
Is that your like exercise?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Yeah? That is my main form of back side be
a very active person, like to be like to be
out and about, like to be doing stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I'm running busy bee down all right, busy bee. Okay,
all right, you've got two kids. That's lovely. And you
used to be a carpenter, so you're good with wood.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I I am good with the wood.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I'm just I'm just checking, okay. And how long did
you carpenter for the carp and teer?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
What's the word?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
How long did I mess around with wood for? Is
the question? Yes? Ask So I started my own business
when I was twenty one back in the UK. So
had the business for about six or seven years, and
then then that I went belly up.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Oh okay, so it didn't go well, Okay, failed business.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Writing that down as well.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Okay, I'm going to ask you three questions, and from
the answers to those three questions, I have to try
and work out what it is you're concealing from me.
So question number one, do you speak any other languages?
Speaker 3 (03:41):
So? I kind of do so. When I was at school,
I learned German, so I speak a very small amount
of German. If you know any German, don't start speaking
to me in German because I won't be able to
interpret what you say. There is another language that I understand. However,
if I tell you, it might give a little bit
too much away, so I'm still going to keep it
a secret.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I reckon you can talk Simlish. I reckon, that's what
it is. That's what you're hiding from me. Simlish. Yeah,
it's what they speak on the sims the video game.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I reckon.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You're like, oh what Similish, no idea, But secretly you're
like habadu badabad sababat okay. Question number two are you
skeptical about anything?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yes, I am skeptical about some things, one of them
specifically being I'm quite skeptical of I suppose the psychic realm.
But I like to say I'm curiously skeptical, So I'm
not a hard skeptic, whereas I'm curiously skeptical, so I'd
say no way, but show me some proof and I
might go along with it.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Your psychic world, okay, well, I've met a lot of
psychos in my life so and I've had no problem.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
With them, So slightly different world. But the.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Third question I have for you is what would your
superpower be?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Am I only allowed one? Or can I have two? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
You can have two, that's all right.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah. One of them would be to be able to
read people's minds, and then the other one would be
I reckon, be really cool if you could stop time?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Stop it? Do you want the day to be any longer?
Can you please?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
You're just going to look older quicker than other people.
We don't want that, all right.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Let's can I let me put a tweak on my superpart. Yes,
I can freeze time and freeze aging without the use
of any botox.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
That's agreed.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
All right, that's fun then, Okay, as long as I'm
happy to get wiser, just not older visually. Okay, I
think I've hit my peak and it's all downhill from now. Okay,
let's recap failed business.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Let's recap nothing interesting about this guy visually wonderful picture
of him on this podcast.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Actually this is the joy of the podcast.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Okay, you just you know, you never know what's going
to come out of my mouth. So no see from
the Gold Coast former carpenter went tits up.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Two kids like to serve. So you're active, good for you,
busybody like that.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
You can almost speak a bit of German, but then
you can also understand another language that you can't tell
me simlish clearly. Okay, you're skeptical of the psychic realm,
yet you want to read people's minds. I'm just you
are just really challenging me today, aren't you, Anthony.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Okay, so.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I'm going to say that you have actually you've put
up a few of these things to like throw me
off the sand. But I reckon you are the inventor
of the SIMS. I reckon you like work in computer computers.
That's why, like your setup's really nice today, and you
you're like actually a secret computer nerd and you invented
the SIMS and simlish, am I right?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
No? And I'm a friend. You put me down, and
you've now even referred to me as a.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Nerd computer nerd it's a difference.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
But you're wrong. I'm a mentalist, which means that I
read people's minds for a living. So I've been a
mentalist for or just over twenty years. Got into it
through doing magic and got more interested in the human
mind and the way that it works. A mentalist indeed,
a mentalist?
Speaker 1 (07:09):
What the facts are? Mentalist? Ah?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
So Anthony is not the inventor of simlish. No, he
is a mentalist, and I have no idea what the
hell that is. It just sounds like something my mum
would call me, Mom.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Are you listening? All right? We have just met Anthony
and I found out he is a mentalist.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Anthony, what the fuck is a mentalist? Please tell me?
I want to know. I want to know.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
I describe it as I lie for a living, and
I lie by pretending to be psychic. Can'ce the reason
why I'm skeptical about the psychic industry because I give
the illusion of being able to possess psychic powers when
I know that there's a method behind what I'm doing.
The way that I like to say is you've got
magic and hypnosis, and mentalism sort of lives in the
middle of those two things. So no one goes to sleep,
and well, at least I hope no one goes to
(08:07):
sleep in my show. So it's not a hypnosis show,
but it's not so much a sleight of hand show.
It's more of using the people as the props. And
this is the reason why I say that I'm not psychickers,
because there is a method to everything that I do. Yes,
it's just the fun that is trying to work out
what that method is. Is it misdirection, is it some
sort of linguistic thing that I've said, Is it that
I'm reading the other person. There's all these different things
(08:29):
going on, and I think that's what makes it so
interesting for an audience because they don't ever quite know.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
So what do you exactly do?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
So if I'm at a conference and Anthony you come
out and go, hello, I'm your mentalist today, what happens?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
It depends on what I'm doing, So it'd either be
doing a show or a keynote. So if I'm doing
a show, I would come out and then perform demonstrations
of apparently reading people's minds, well while the entire time
saying I'm not actually reading your mind. If I'm doing
a keynote, then what I would do is I'll come
out and I will use my demonstrations of mentalism to
share one of my other skills, which was the other
language that I understand, which is body language. Ah.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I see, yeah, it almost sounds like a sideshow thing.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yees. So it's pretty much an act that was very
popular back in the vaudeville days, where you would have
the mentalist stand on stage and apparently read the minds
of everybody in the audience. So it's been around for years.
I think it's made quite popular by the TV show
The Mentalist with Simon Baker, where he used mentalism powers
to go around and solve crimes. I don't solve many crimes.
(09:29):
I just stand on stage and be entertainings.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah, so it's er a performer essentially.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I am former, not a computer nerd.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
So why do you like to go like to essentially
be honest and say I'm a mentalist and I'm actually
not reading your mind?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Like why do you do that? Instead of being.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Like, ooh, I'm a psychic and look at me, go like,
why did you choose that instead of the other.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
For exactly the reason as to the way that you
you've just described it. Of waving your arms and going, oh,
look at me, now, that's not me as as a performer,
as you've already pointed out, I'm very I'm very plain.
There is nothing special about me. Wow.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
You're really holding on to it now, aren't.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
You, Anthony, I've been emotionally scarred.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Oh my goodness, they've got a bruised ego here everyone,
I'm bruis ego. Nah, you're fine. So you like that
style of it. How did you get into it then? Like,
were you a performer before any of this? No, because
it's like a big jump to go from being a
former carpenter to now standing on a stage in front
of people.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
I suppose in a way you could look at it
as I've gone from doing carpentry to performing miracles. It's
quite biblical in some sort of senses. But I'm not
a natural performer. If you had asked me when I
was eighteen, if I had stood up on stage in
front of a group of people, you would have got
a very quick answer. If not really nervous, really nervous,
socially awkward. When I was younger, it's one of the
reasons why I got into magic. Having magic was a
way to cheap, being interesting if you were down the
(10:54):
pub because it run and have a conversation. It can
we are to cook card any card.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
No, I totally get it.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
It means yeah, you can be like, hey, don't look
at me, look at the magic trick. I'm doing it
for the same reason I'm covered in glittering makeup and
here because it's fun, and it can be like.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Don't look at me, look at this.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
So how did you go from doing magic at the
pub to making it your full time job?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
So when I had the carpentry business back in the UK,
one of my clients used to run a cabaret night
once a month and he heard that I did a
bit of magic and asked if I'd go along and
do a few tricks at his cabaret night. Now, this
was the first time that I'd ever been asked to
do it in what I would call it professional setting,
actually being asked to do magic at an event rather
than doing it at a pub because I'm trying to
(11:35):
impress somebody. And I was that nervous in the lead
up to the first gig that I had night sweats
for about a week and the lead up to the event,
you could run your hands down my body and you
would got sweat come flying off it. Terrible. It was,
It was terrible. I was really nervous, like that whole
horrible brain that starts to kick in inside your mind
that tells you that you don't know what you're doing,
that fight out. This was a thing. On the night
(11:57):
of the event, I arrived early, and I've been used
to having a couple of couple of drinks to give
me a bit of Dutch courage before getting out. I
drank two bottles of white wine before I got up
to do the first trip.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Ever.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Mother, I'm going to be making this third bottle of
wine disappear.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
That's what I'd do.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah, but I got pulled back for the next about
year and a half, so I couldn't have done too
bad a job in that first one. And then that
one thing led to another. Obviously, It's like anything in
this entertainment. Well, do you have to do those really
shit gigs?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Tell me about it.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I've had my fair share of shit gigs where absolutely
everything goes wrong.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
But do you ever get it wrong? What's the worst
thing that's happened?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
I don't know. Okay, this was the worst gig that
I ever been booked for. So this was back in
the back in the early days of my performing careers.
This was I wasn't that comfortable on stage At this
point in tom I used to do a lot of roving,
and an agent had booked me for a wedding in Sydney,
and I did do my due diligence and ask enough questions. Now,
(13:03):
mentalism involves a lot of spoken word. There's a lot
of you having to understand what it is that I'm saying.
I was booked for a Vietnamese wedding for four hundred people,
and only about fifty of them spoke fluent English. It
was the longest half an hour of my.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
That would have seemed like eternity. You'd be like, oh,
do I get out of here.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
The other story which I have, there's a picture behind
me of a routine which I do. It's it's kind
of the thing that I've been known for, which is
playing Russian Roulette with nail guns. So four nail guns,
one of them gets loaded, I read the person's mind,
and then three of the nail guns are fired at me.
What the fuck?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
What's this got to do with reading minds? Why are
you playing with guns? Now? What is this nail guns on?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
You should know theeter. That's what it's all about. It's
my moment.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I'm trying to just bridge the How do you go
from reading someone's mind to them being like, actually, I
could get four nail guns and like almost like stabbed
myself with one, Like what hell ha.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
So this piece, this Russi Roulette piece, came about because
I was doing a TV piece and I needed something
big and good and something that would be memorable. So
I've always liked the idea of Russian Roulette type of effect.
Me being a carpenter in my former life obviously lends
itself to nail guns. The whole thing kind of worked out.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
See that's clever though, because if you had started this
interview with a nail gun next to you, I would
have thought you were very remarkable, just saying so, I
can understand why you wouldn't want to use it for
like a big TV gig, etc.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
So you know you should have brought the nail gun.
Maybe I would have had a different opinion.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Well, okay, I'm sorry for not bringing her ol guns.
So these nail guns, they're all fired into me. Some
of the three of them are empty. One of them
is loaded. I had one of them fired into me. Now,
these nail guns have gone a little pin that pushes
the nails. When the nail comes out, it's got a pin. Now,
even the empty ones have still got the pin inside them.
So the person fired the gun into my stomach, but
the gun had been bent, so the firing pin pierced
(15:02):
my skin and I started bleeding. On stage. Everyone thought
I'd been shot. I was no, I haven't been shot.
I haven't been shot.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
It wasn't the one with the nail. I haven't flicked
up yet. Don't worry. So have you stopped using a
nail gun or no?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
I still use a nail gun.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
How do you even come up with the idea to
use a nail gun? Like, how do these tricks start?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Do you just sit down and try to work out
some tricks and test out to see if they'll work.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
In a way. Yes, So I would just I would
sort of think in my head what would make a
really good show piece. I would take a collection of
all the techniques that I know in order to achieve
a certain outcome. Now, there are some mentalism effects out
there that the other mentalists have shared, so they could
be their routines. But then then I'll put my spin
on it. I'll put my personality that average nothing extraordinary personality.
(15:48):
I'll then put into the trick.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Oh really, never upset a mentalist. This is this is
probably a mentalist game. Now, this is the game now
trying to wear me down, make me feel guilty.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
An't you you would drop it? Now I will drop it.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I'm still confused how this works. So you don't read
people's minds, but you kind of do. Are you just
manipulating people? Then it is a mixture of different things.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
There will be some things where I'm using linguistic deception
to make you say certain things. Other times I might
be using hypnotic suggestion, so the words hypnotist produced but
without putting you to sleep. Yeah. Other times it's down
to statistics. It's a blend of all those different techniques
woven together and understanding how humans behave that then allows
me to create that illusion that I might be in
(16:37):
control of your thoughts or being able to pluck thoughts
out of your mind, which is the reason why I
find it's so interesting because makes me quite irritating.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
To be honest, what is the magic and mentalism community? Like,
are they all right or are they all like a
bunch of like protective people that are like, no, don't
talk to me, you might steal my trick.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
It is a strange world. It is a strange world.
I do think that a lot of people who get
into magic were probably similar to me in that they
might have been slightly socially nervous, socially awkward. So I
think there's a lot of that in the magic world.
You've also got to remember it's a world of secrets.
We try to hide everything. So as you get into
the magic world and you start to build a reputation,
(17:18):
that's when you will start to have that really supportive
community that are helping each other. But at the initial
stages there is this Yep, you're welcome into the community,
but don't expect to find out lots of secrets straight away.
You've got to show us that you're worthy of having
the secrets. It is a really strange world.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
No, I mean that sounds like the drag community too.
It's like you start as a drag queen, you go, oh,
how do I do my makeup? And everyone's like, you'll
work it out. Yourself, go on, get out of here, love,
because that's a very secretive thing. You know, we all
have special application techniques.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
So is there a lot of rivalry in your world?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Dalling.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Of course there is in terms of like being accused
of stealing other people's ideas and pagiarism and all this
kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Oh, there's a scandal at the moment because someone's stolen
my specific mix of a show that I do and
they're performing it at the moment, and I am very
upset about it. They're going around doing my custom Kylie
Minogue Medali and it's mine because I paid for it
and I organized it. So yes, there's lots of stealing
that happens.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Ah, So what can you do if somebody is stealing
other people's material? Does everyone gang up with their wigs
and makeup on and chase them with pitchfork? So what happens?
Or did they get outsted on the internet? What happens?
Speaker 1 (18:34):
No, you just get over it.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
You just get over it because you know what, you
can take my mix, but you can't take my personality.
So it's fine, you can have it, Love, I needed
a new one anyway.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
That's what sets you apart. From it from everybody else
is having that point of difference because it's you who's
doing it. Yeah, anybody could do the trick, but could
they do it like you?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I think it's time that you did one on me.
Do you want to do? You want to do? You
want to be mental on me? Be mental on me?
Speaker 3 (19:07):
All right? I have got here four bags. I put
some numbers in front of them. What's inside each one
of these bags is a block of wood with a
hole in it.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Not a fucking nail again, lead have it?
Speaker 3 (19:21):
You learn aad the dear and a nail.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
So you've got four paper bags. Each of them are
sitting behind a number from one to four. All of
them have blocks of wood in them, but one has
a nail sticking up out of the wood.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I like where this is going.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to
take them. I'm going to mix them around a little bit.
And one I promise you is I'm not doing any
weird dodgy stuff, not like you'll be doing.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
So I'm paying so much attention.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Okay, Now, be honest. You don't actually know where about
the nail is at all? Do you? No?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
But I think it's number three.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
You think it's number three. Yeah, Well, this is either
going to be the end of the podcast very very
very quickly, or it's gonna be a moment of amazement
for you. This is what's gonna happen. Art. You're gonna
say any one of these numbers. The number that you say,
I'm gonna slam my hand as hard as I can
onto the bag. So my hand is literally down to.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Your choices, all right, Jesus if it goes wrong, Okay,
I will feel a bit of a prick.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yeah, that's an applaud to that one. I like that one.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
That was good. So choose one of the bags one, two, three,
or four. We're gonna slam my hand on whichever one
you say, which one you want.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
To go for?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Art Three, Number three. That's when you thought that the
nail was in though, wasn't it. Yeah? Okay, I thought
that you and I had built some rapport. I thought
that we had almost become friends. However, you're now asking
me to slam my hand down on the very bag
that you think has a nail in it.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yeah, but when you put the block in there, you
could have taken the nail. Lad I didn't say what
happened on the inside.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
You are so skeptical. Here we go, number three, There
we go, one, two go. That is one out of
the way. We left with three dogs. Were left with
three bags.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
So you've just smashed your hand against it. You don't
have a hole in your hand. The nail wasn't your fire.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
No blood.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Okay, we've got three bags left. Okay, forget the numbers
of the bags. Now the brown bags now have colors
assigned to them.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
We've got red, blue, yellow, red, blue, yellow. I'm trying
to influence your choices. This is red, this is blue,
this is yellow. Which color would you like me to squash? Red?
Blue or yellow?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yellow?
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Red? Blue? Yellow? This one here? One, two, three?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Oh my god, are you bleeding?
Speaker 3 (21:42):
No? No, no blood, trust me, blood no blood. If
that goes wrong, you will know audibly because I will screen.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
You should do a Halloween version where everything goes wrong?
Would that be fun?
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Well, because I could probably only do it once a
year because for the rest of you I'll be trying
to recover.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
No, it could be fake.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
You should do like one trick where you've got like
blood capsules in one of the bags, Like, oh, trick,
char it was just tomato sauce.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
We could collab, We could collab. I think I feel
a collab coming on.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Okay, we're left with two bags. I want you to
name two two famous people. Name two famous people for me.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Oh, Sonny and share.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
A good choice? Good choice. So this one's Sonny, This
one's Share.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Kill Sonny, kill Sunny. Same share? Keep share, yeah, keep sharing? Okay,
so wait, now there's two bags left.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
You have a fifty to fifty chance of smashing your
hand down onto the nail and butchering your hand.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Ha ha, do it? Do it?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
One? Two? There we go? Sonny, is God leaving us
just one used before I have taken If I reach
in and grab out the nail. There it is, there,
the block of wood with Oh you managed to avoid
me getting stabbed. Well done you. I'm not covered or
surrounded by sandwich bags. There we go. Were you impressed
(22:57):
with that one after?
Speaker 1 (22:58):
You know?
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I wasn't until the last one. Until the end, I
was like, all right, just gonna smash them all. What's
the point of that?
Speaker 3 (23:04):
What?
Speaker 1 (23:05):
So you've just you didn't smash the last bag.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
You saved share that would be stupid.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
And you opened up Share and there was the woodblock
with the nail. Indeed, I don't know. I don't know
what happened.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Now, I just messed with your head, didn't even mess
up your hair to do it.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
So Anthony isn't the inventor of simlish. He is actually
a mentalist. Oh wow, that was really impressive actually, but
I kind of.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Wanted to see him get nailed.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
You've been listening to an iHeart Australia and Kiss production
Concealed with artsimone. Listen to free on the iHeart app
and listen to your arts content. Oh and be sure
to check out the socials to see Anthony's wood Yes
Hello, it's me Artsimone.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I had this grand idea to speak with the most regular,
very normal, and painfully ordinary people. Boring that's what they
seem like from first glance or first listen. But really
they are concealing something from us. It might be a
naughty secret, the most bizarre profession you've ever heard of,
or a hobby that will make you go, how the
bloody hell did they get into that? And it gets
(00:33):
even better because I have no idea who these people
are or what they're keeping concealed. I've got to do
a bit of detective work to figure it out for us.
Welcome to Concealed with Art Simone. Oh that's the guest,
get that type rolling.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Hey, I'm Anthony. I am from the Gold Coast and
I used to be a carpenter, so outside of my work,
I am a very keen surfer. Keen not necessarily good,
but I am keening and also proud father to two wonderful,
wonderful little girls. But there is a secret that I
don't think Art Simone's going to get about me because
(01:10):
it's not the kind of thing that you would hear
in everyday conversation.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
How are you going, Anthony, very good.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
How are you.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I'm doing very well. That would love you to meet you.
Where are you streaming in from today?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I am on the sunny Gold Coast.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Oh, I'm so jealous.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I love the Gold Coast only because it's just so
disgustingly tacky and so am I.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I love every single bit of it.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Get me down Cavil Avenue with all the drunk bitches
hanging out in front of the McDonald's, or you know,
just Oh, I love it.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I love it. I've got a star casino, spend lots
of money.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
That's pretty humid. Now that's gonna play havoc with your hair.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Well, the good news for you is my hair is plastic,
so it'll survive. I'm going to describe you are very
clean cut, good looking guy. You're in a nice at
the moment. You're well kept, but slightly generic.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Maybe I've done this on purpose. Maybe I'm trying to
throw you off the same.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Well, I'm just I'm just trying to say there's nothing
like strange or like interesting to describe about you. You're
just like a nice looking person. Let me throw the
ball back in your court. There's a lot more to
describe on your screen. What you're looking at, isn't this?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
There's glits and glamour and shiny stuff and hair and makeup.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Everywhere exactly, so please, I'm not being rude. I'm just
calling it as I sees it, all right, all right,
So yeah, surfing.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
You'd like to say, so you'd like to keep fit?
Is that your like exercise?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Yeah? That is my main form of back side be
a very active person, like to be like to be
out and about, like to be doing stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I'm running busy bee down all right, busy bee. Okay,
all right, you've got two kids. That's lovely. And you
used to be a carpenter, so you're good with wood.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I I am good with the wood.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I'm just I'm just checking, okay. And how long did
you carpenter for the carp and teer?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
What's the word?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
How long did I mess around with wood for? Is
the question? Yes? Ask So I started my own business
when I was twenty one back in the UK. So
had the business for about six or seven years, and
then then that I went belly up.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Oh okay, so it didn't go well, Okay, failed business.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Writing that down as well.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Okay, I'm going to ask you three questions, and from
the answers to those three questions, I have to try
and work out what it is you're concealing from me.
So question number one, do you speak any other languages?
Speaker 3 (03:41):
So? I kind of do so. When I was at school,
I learned German, so I speak a very small amount
of German. If you know any German, don't start speaking
to me in German because I won't be able to
interpret what you say. There is another language that I understand. However,
if I tell you, it might give a little bit
too much away, so I'm still going to keep it
a secret.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I reckon you can talk Simlish. I reckon, that's what
it is. That's what you're hiding from me. Simlish. Yeah,
it's what they speak on the sims the video game.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I reckon.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You're like, oh what Similish, no idea, But secretly you're
like habadu badabad sababat okay. Question number two are you
skeptical about anything?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yes, I am skeptical about some things, one of them
specifically being I'm quite skeptical of I suppose the psychic realm.
But I like to say I'm curiously skeptical, So I'm
not a hard skeptic, whereas I'm curiously skeptical, so I'd
say no way, but show me some proof and I
might go along with it.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Your psychic world, okay, well, I've met a lot of
psychos in my life so and I've had no problem.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
With them, So slightly different world. But the.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Third question I have for you is what would your
superpower be?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Am I only allowed one? Or can I have two? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
You can have two, that's all right.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah. One of them would be to be able to
read people's minds, and then the other one would be
I reckon, be really cool if you could stop time?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Stop it? Do you want the day to be any longer?
Can you please?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
You're just going to look older quicker than other people.
We don't want that, all right.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Let's can I let me put a tweak on my superpart. Yes,
I can freeze time and freeze aging without the use
of any botox.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
That's agreed.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
All right, that's fun then, Okay, as long as I'm
happy to get wiser, just not older visually. Okay, I
think I've hit my peak and it's all downhill from now. Okay,
let's recap failed business.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Let's recap nothing interesting about this guy visually wonderful picture
of him on this podcast.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Actually this is the joy of the podcast.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Okay, you just you know, you never know what's going
to come out of my mouth. So no see from
the Gold Coast former carpenter went tits up.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Two kids like to serve. So you're active, good for you,
busybody like that.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
You can almost speak a bit of German, but then
you can also understand another language that you can't tell
me simlish clearly. Okay, you're skeptical of the psychic realm,
yet you want to read people's minds. I'm just you
are just really challenging me today, aren't you, Anthony.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Okay, so.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I'm going to say that you have actually you've put
up a few of these things to like throw me
off the sand. But I reckon you are the inventor
of the SIMS. I reckon you like work in computer computers.
That's why, like your setup's really nice today, and you
you're like actually a secret computer nerd and you invented
the SIMS and simlish, am I right?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
No? And I'm a friend. You put me down, and
you've now even referred to me as a.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Nerd computer nerd it's a difference.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
But you're wrong. I'm a mentalist, which means that I
read people's minds for a living. So I've been a
mentalist for or just over twenty years. Got into it
through doing magic and got more interested in the human
mind and the way that it works. A mentalist indeed,
a mentalist?
Speaker 1 (07:09):
What the facts are? Mentalist? Ah?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
So Anthony is not the inventor of simlish. No, he
is a mentalist, and I have no idea what the
hell that is. It just sounds like something my mum
would call me, Mom.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Are you listening? All right? We have just met Anthony
and I found out he is a mentalist.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Anthony, what the fuck is a mentalist? Please tell me?
I want to know. I want to know.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
I describe it as I lie for a living, and
I lie by pretending to be psychic. Can'ce the reason
why I'm skeptical about the psychic industry because I give
the illusion of being able to possess psychic powers when
I know that there's a method behind what I'm doing.
The way that I like to say is you've got
magic and hypnosis, and mentalism sort of lives in the
middle of those two things. So no one goes to sleep,
and well, at least I hope no one goes to
(08:07):
sleep in my show. So it's not a hypnosis show,
but it's not so much a sleight of hand show.
It's more of using the people as the props. And
this is the reason why I say that I'm not psychickers,
because there is a method to everything that I do. Yes,
it's just the fun that is trying to work out
what that method is. Is it misdirection, is it some
sort of linguistic thing that I've said, Is it that
I'm reading the other person. There's all these different things
(08:29):
going on, and I think that's what makes it so
interesting for an audience because they don't ever quite know.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
So what do you exactly do?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
So if I'm at a conference and Anthony you come
out and go, hello, I'm your mentalist today, what happens?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
It depends on what I'm doing, So it'd either be
doing a show or a keynote. So if I'm doing
a show, I would come out and then perform demonstrations
of apparently reading people's minds, well while the entire time
saying I'm not actually reading your mind. If I'm doing
a keynote, then what I would do is I'll come
out and I will use my demonstrations of mentalism to
share one of my other skills, which was the other
language that I understand, which is body language. Ah.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I see, yeah, it almost sounds like a sideshow thing.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yees. So it's pretty much an act that was very
popular back in the vaudeville days, where you would have
the mentalist stand on stage and apparently read the minds
of everybody in the audience. So it's been around for years.
I think it's made quite popular by the TV show
The Mentalist with Simon Baker, where he used mentalism powers
to go around and solve crimes. I don't solve many crimes.
(09:29):
I just stand on stage and be entertainings.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah, so it's er a performer essentially.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I am former, not a computer nerd.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
So why do you like to go like to essentially
be honest and say I'm a mentalist and I'm actually
not reading your mind?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Like why do you do that? Instead of being.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Like, ooh, I'm a psychic and look at me, go like,
why did you choose that instead of the other.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
For exactly the reason as to the way that you
you've just described it. Of waving your arms and going, oh,
look at me, now, that's not me as as a performer,
as you've already pointed out, I'm very I'm very plain.
There is nothing special about me. Wow.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
You're really holding on to it now, aren't.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
You, Anthony, I've been emotionally scarred.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Oh my goodness, they've got a bruised ego here everyone,
I'm bruis ego. Nah, you're fine. So you like that
style of it. How did you get into it then? Like,
were you a performer before any of this? No, because
it's like a big jump to go from being a
former carpenter to now standing on a stage in front
of people.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
I suppose in a way you could look at it
as I've gone from doing carpentry to performing miracles. It's
quite biblical in some sort of senses. But I'm not
a natural performer. If you had asked me when I
was eighteen, if I had stood up on stage in
front of a group of people, you would have got
a very quick answer. If not really nervous, really nervous,
socially awkward. When I was younger, it's one of the
reasons why I got into magic. Having magic was a
way to cheap, being interesting if you were down the
(10:54):
pub because it run and have a conversation. It can
we are to cook card any card.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
No, I totally get it.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
It means yeah, you can be like, hey, don't look
at me, look at the magic trick. I'm doing it
for the same reason I'm covered in glittering makeup and
here because it's fun, and it can be like.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Don't look at me, look at this.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
So how did you go from doing magic at the
pub to making it your full time job?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
So when I had the carpentry business back in the UK,
one of my clients used to run a cabaret night
once a month and he heard that I did a
bit of magic and asked if I'd go along and
do a few tricks at his cabaret night. Now, this
was the first time that I'd ever been asked to
do it in what I would call it professional setting,
actually being asked to do magic at an event rather
than doing it at a pub because I'm trying to
(11:35):
impress somebody. And I was that nervous in the lead
up to the first gig that I had night sweats
for about a week and the lead up to the event,
you could run your hands down my body and you
would got sweat come flying off it. Terrible. It was,
It was terrible. I was really nervous, like that whole
horrible brain that starts to kick in inside your mind
that tells you that you don't know what you're doing,
that fight out. This was a thing. On the night
(11:57):
of the event, I arrived early, and I've been used
to having a couple of couple of drinks to give
me a bit of Dutch courage before getting out. I
drank two bottles of white wine before I got up
to do the first trip.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Ever.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Mother, I'm going to be making this third bottle of
wine disappear.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
That's what I'd do.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah, but I got pulled back for the next about
year and a half, so I couldn't have done too
bad a job in that first one. And then that
one thing led to another. Obviously, It's like anything in
this entertainment. Well, do you have to do those really
shit gigs?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Tell me about it.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I've had my fair share of shit gigs where absolutely
everything goes wrong.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
But do you ever get it wrong? What's the worst
thing that's happened?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
I don't know. Okay, this was the worst gig that
I ever been booked for. So this was back in
the back in the early days of my performing careers.
This was I wasn't that comfortable on stage At this
point in tom I used to do a lot of roving,
and an agent had booked me for a wedding in Sydney,
and I did do my due diligence and ask enough questions. Now,
(13:03):
mentalism involves a lot of spoken word. There's a lot
of you having to understand what it is that I'm saying.
I was booked for a Vietnamese wedding for four hundred people,
and only about fifty of them spoke fluent English. It
was the longest half an hour of my.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
That would have seemed like eternity. You'd be like, oh,
do I get out of here.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
The other story which I have, there's a picture behind
me of a routine which I do. It's it's kind
of the thing that I've been known for, which is
playing Russian Roulette with nail guns. So four nail guns,
one of them gets loaded, I read the person's mind,
and then three of the nail guns are fired at me.
What the fuck?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
What's this got to do with reading minds? Why are
you playing with guns? Now? What is this nail guns on?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
You should know theeter. That's what it's all about. It's
my moment.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I'm trying to just bridge the How do you go
from reading someone's mind to them being like, actually, I
could get four nail guns and like almost like stabbed
myself with one, Like what hell ha.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
So this piece, this Russi Roulette piece, came about because
I was doing a TV piece and I needed something
big and good and something that would be memorable. So
I've always liked the idea of Russian Roulette type of effect.
Me being a carpenter in my former life obviously lends
itself to nail guns. The whole thing kind of worked out.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
See that's clever though, because if you had started this
interview with a nail gun next to you, I would
have thought you were very remarkable, just saying so, I
can understand why you wouldn't want to use it for
like a big TV gig, etc.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
So you know you should have brought the nail gun.
Maybe I would have had a different opinion.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Well, okay, I'm sorry for not bringing her ol guns.
So these nail guns, they're all fired into me. Some
of the three of them are empty. One of them
is loaded. I had one of them fired into me. Now,
these nail guns have gone a little pin that pushes
the nails. When the nail comes out, it's got a pin. Now,
even the empty ones have still got the pin inside them.
So the person fired the gun into my stomach, but
the gun had been bent, so the firing pin pierced
(15:02):
my skin and I started bleeding. On stage. Everyone thought
I'd been shot. I was no, I haven't been shot.
I haven't been shot.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
It wasn't the one with the nail. I haven't flicked
up yet. Don't worry. So have you stopped using a
nail gun or no?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
I still use a nail gun.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
How do you even come up with the idea to
use a nail gun? Like, how do these tricks start?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Do you just sit down and try to work out
some tricks and test out to see if they'll work.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
In a way. Yes, So I would just I would
sort of think in my head what would make a
really good show piece. I would take a collection of
all the techniques that I know in order to achieve
a certain outcome. Now, there are some mentalism effects out
there that the other mentalists have shared, so they could
be their routines. But then then I'll put my spin
on it. I'll put my personality that average nothing extraordinary personality.
(15:48):
I'll then put into the trick.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Oh really, never upset a mentalist. This is this is
probably a mentalist game. Now, this is the game now
trying to wear me down, make me feel guilty.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
An't you you would drop it? Now I will drop it.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I'm still confused how this works. So you don't read
people's minds, but you kind of do. Are you just
manipulating people? Then it is a mixture of different things.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
There will be some things where I'm using linguistic deception
to make you say certain things. Other times I might
be using hypnotic suggestion, so the words hypnotist produced but
without putting you to sleep. Yeah. Other times it's down
to statistics. It's a blend of all those different techniques
woven together and understanding how humans behave that then allows
me to create that illusion that I might be in
(16:37):
control of your thoughts or being able to pluck thoughts
out of your mind, which is the reason why I
find it's so interesting because makes me quite irritating.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
To be honest, what is the magic and mentalism community? Like,
are they all right or are they all like a
bunch of like protective people that are like, no, don't
talk to me, you might steal my trick.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
It is a strange world. It is a strange world.
I do think that a lot of people who get
into magic were probably similar to me in that they
might have been slightly socially nervous, socially awkward. So I
think there's a lot of that in the magic world.
You've also got to remember it's a world of secrets.
We try to hide everything. So as you get into
the magic world and you start to build a reputation,
(17:18):
that's when you will start to have that really supportive
community that are helping each other. But at the initial
stages there is this Yep, you're welcome into the community,
but don't expect to find out lots of secrets straight away.
You've got to show us that you're worthy of having
the secrets. It is a really strange world.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
No, I mean that sounds like the drag community too.
It's like you start as a drag queen, you go, oh,
how do I do my makeup? And everyone's like, you'll
work it out. Yourself, go on, get out of here, love,
because that's a very secretive thing. You know, we all
have special application techniques.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
So is there a lot of rivalry in your world?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Dalling.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Of course there is in terms of like being accused
of stealing other people's ideas and pagiarism and all this
kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Oh, there's a scandal at the moment because someone's stolen
my specific mix of a show that I do and
they're performing it at the moment, and I am very
upset about it. They're going around doing my custom Kylie
Minogue Medali and it's mine because I paid for it
and I organized it. So yes, there's lots of stealing
that happens.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Ah, So what can you do if somebody is stealing
other people's material? Does everyone gang up with their wigs
and makeup on and chase them with pitchfork? So what happens?
Or did they get outsted on the internet? What happens?
Speaker 1 (18:34):
No, you just get over it.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
You just get over it because you know what, you
can take my mix, but you can't take my personality.
So it's fine, you can have it, Love, I needed
a new one anyway.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
That's what sets you apart. From it from everybody else
is having that point of difference because it's you who's
doing it. Yeah, anybody could do the trick, but could
they do it like you?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I think it's time that you did one on me.
Do you want to do? You want to do? You
want to be mental on me? Be mental on me?
Speaker 3 (19:07):
All right? I have got here four bags. I put
some numbers in front of them. What's inside each one
of these bags is a block of wood with a
hole in it.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Not a fucking nail again, lead have it?
Speaker 3 (19:21):
You learn aad the dear and a nail.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
So you've got four paper bags. Each of them are
sitting behind a number from one to four. All of
them have blocks of wood in them, but one has
a nail sticking up out of the wood.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I like where this is going.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to
take them. I'm going to mix them around a little bit.
And one I promise you is I'm not doing any
weird dodgy stuff, not like you'll be doing.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
So I'm paying so much attention.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Okay, Now, be honest. You don't actually know where about
the nail is at all? Do you? No?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
But I think it's number three.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
You think it's number three. Yeah, Well, this is either
going to be the end of the podcast very very
very quickly, or it's gonna be a moment of amazement
for you. This is what's gonna happen. Art. You're gonna
say any one of these numbers. The number that you say,
I'm gonna slam my hand as hard as I can
onto the bag. So my hand is literally down to.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Your choices, all right, Jesus if it goes wrong, Okay,
I will feel a bit of a prick.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yeah, that's an applaud to that one. I like that one.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
That was good. So choose one of the bags one, two, three,
or four. We're gonna slam my hand on whichever one
you say, which one you want.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
To go for?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Art Three, Number three. That's when you thought that the
nail was in though, wasn't it. Yeah? Okay, I thought
that you and I had built some rapport. I thought
that we had almost become friends. However, you're now asking
me to slam my hand down on the very bag
that you think has a nail in it.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yeah, but when you put the block in there, you
could have taken the nail. Lad I didn't say what
happened on the inside.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
You are so skeptical. Here we go, number three, There
we go, one, two go. That is one out of
the way. We left with three dogs. Were left with
three bags.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
So you've just smashed your hand against it. You don't
have a hole in your hand. The nail wasn't your fire.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
No blood.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Okay, we've got three bags left. Okay, forget the numbers
of the bags. Now the brown bags now have colors
assigned to them.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
We've got red, blue, yellow, red, blue, yellow. I'm trying
to influence your choices. This is red, this is blue,
this is yellow. Which color would you like me to squash? Red?
Blue or yellow?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yellow?
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Red? Blue? Yellow? This one here? One, two, three?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Oh my god, are you bleeding?
Speaker 3 (21:42):
No? No, no blood, trust me, blood no blood. If
that goes wrong, you will know audibly because I will screen.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
You should do a Halloween version where everything goes wrong?
Would that be fun?
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Well, because I could probably only do it once a
year because for the rest of you I'll be trying
to recover.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
No, it could be fake.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
You should do like one trick where you've got like
blood capsules in one of the bags, Like, oh, trick,
char it was just tomato sauce.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
We could collab, We could collab. I think I feel
a collab coming on.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Okay, we're left with two bags. I want you to
name two two famous people. Name two famous people for me.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Oh, Sonny and share.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
A good choice? Good choice. So this one's Sonny, This
one's Share.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Kill Sonny, kill Sunny. Same share? Keep share, yeah, keep sharing? Okay,
so wait, now there's two bags left.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
You have a fifty to fifty chance of smashing your
hand down onto the nail and butchering your hand.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Ha ha, do it? Do it?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
One? Two? There we go? Sonny, is God leaving us
just one used before I have taken If I reach
in and grab out the nail. There it is, there,
the block of wood with Oh you managed to avoid
me getting stabbed. Well done you. I'm not covered or
surrounded by sandwich bags. There we go. Were you impressed
(22:57):
with that one after?
Speaker 1 (22:58):
You know?
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I wasn't until the last one. Until the end, I
was like, all right, just gonna smash them all. What's
the point of that?
Speaker 3 (23:04):
What?
Speaker 1 (23:05):
So you've just you didn't smash the last bag.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
You saved share that would be stupid.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
And you opened up Share and there was the woodblock
with the nail. Indeed, I don't know. I don't know
what happened.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Now, I just messed with your head, didn't even mess
up your hair to do it.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
So Anthony isn't the inventor of simlish. He is actually
a mentalist. Oh wow, that was really impressive actually, but
