Fun
Transcript
00:00:40I mean, wow.
00:00:45You guys, magicians don't normally get this kind of respect in show business.
00:00:50We're the chiropractors of the entertainment industry.
00:00:53Not tonight, though.
00:00:56My goodness.
00:01:01You know, I've been doing magic a long time, and I've learned there are two kinds of people
00:01:05who come to a magic show.
00:01:06First group of people, people who like magic.
00:01:09They like the way it makes them feel.
00:01:11They don't want to know the secrets.
00:01:12They just want to experience wonder.
00:01:14I call them magic lovers.
00:01:15Any here?
00:01:16Thanks for coming.
00:01:21The second group of people are the people the first group brought with them.
00:01:31The plus ones.
00:01:35Plus ones, they don't like magic.
00:01:37They don't like watching it.
00:01:39They don't like the way it makes them feel.
00:01:41It irritates them.
00:01:45Because they think they need to know the secret if they're going to move on with their life.
00:01:49Where's my plus ones at?
00:01:50Are you here?
00:01:51Wow.
00:01:53Thank you for coming.
00:01:54Wow.
00:01:55Right up front.
00:01:55Great.
00:01:56Thanks for you.
00:01:57No, thank you.
00:01:58But you should know.
00:01:58Plus ones.
00:01:59I know you think you want to know the secret, but you don't.
00:02:02Think of it this way.
00:02:03Magic is like hot dogs.
00:02:06The more you know, the harder it is to swallow.
00:02:17You remember the day you found out how hot dogs were made?
00:02:20It was a sad day.
00:02:22Same with magic.
00:02:23And to prove my point, I'm going to do something you don't see at a magic show.
00:02:26I'm going to show you a trick, and then I'm going to tell you how I do it.
00:02:30All right?
00:02:31Just so you can feel how that feels.
00:02:32Sounds fun, right?
00:02:34I have a box.
00:02:36I put something in this box earlier tonight.
00:02:38It'll be important in a second, so take note of the box.
00:02:41What's in the box?
00:02:43I also need somebody to help me out.
00:02:46So I'm going to toss this frisbee out.
00:02:47Heads up.
00:02:49If you catch it, stand up.
00:02:51Hello.
00:02:53You just robbed that guy of that frisbee.
00:02:55He wanted it.
00:02:57How are you?
00:02:58So excited.
00:02:59You're so excited?
00:03:00Here, we're going to hand you a microphone so we can hear that excitement.
00:03:04Here we go.
00:03:05Hi.
00:03:05Hello.
00:03:06What's your name?
00:03:07Larissa.
00:03:08Hi, Larissa.
00:03:08Hello.
00:03:09Justin, nice to meet you.
00:03:10Nice to meet you.
00:03:11Can I ask you a personal question?
00:03:13Okay.
00:03:13Remember your first crush?
00:03:15Yes.
00:03:16Who was it?
00:03:17Spencer.
00:03:18Spencer.
00:03:18Spencer.
00:03:19What was his last name?
00:03:23Do you remember his last name?
00:03:24No.
00:03:25Oh, yes.
00:03:29Yes, yes, I do.
00:03:30Oh, you do?
00:03:30I do.
00:03:31Spencer what?
00:03:32Kuzna.
00:03:34How do you spell that?
00:03:36K-U-Z-N-I-A.
00:03:38K-U-Z-N-I-A.
00:03:40Okay.
00:03:40Spencer Kuzna.
00:03:42Correct.
00:03:42Great.
00:03:43And who are you here with tonight?
00:03:45Not Spencer.
00:03:46Not Spencer.
00:03:47Okay.
00:03:50Larissa, is there any way I could have known about Spencer Kuzna?
00:03:53No.
00:03:53All right, take a seat.
00:03:54You'll enjoy this.
00:03:57Ladies and gentlemen, it's the first trick of the special.
00:04:00It better be good.
00:04:01That is why tonight, we have a very special guest with us.
00:04:08Please welcome to the stage, Spencer Kuzna, everybody.
00:04:15Now, that would have been fun.
00:04:16Wouldn't that have been fun?
00:04:21Not for Larissa.
00:04:23Spencer's not here.
00:04:28Don't worry.
00:04:29The box is here, though.
00:04:31What's in the box?
00:04:33It's not Spencer's head, okay?
00:04:36That would be a great way to start the show, though.
00:04:38I'm just saying.
00:04:40Inside the box before the show, I placed a prediction.
00:04:44A piece of paper.
00:04:45On that piece of paper, I wrote down a name I couldn't have known before the show.
00:04:49Yet here we are, one sheet of paper that happens to say,
00:04:53Spencer Kuzna.
00:05:02I mean...
00:05:03I'll give that to him to burn.
00:05:11Now, that's what the magic lovers came to see.
00:05:17I know.
00:05:17But I can feel it.
00:05:19The plus ones are irritated right now.
00:05:22Wheels are turning.
00:05:23They're like, ah, it happened already.
00:05:25Ah, magic.
00:05:27So I'm going to do something...
00:05:28Listen, I'm going to do something magicians don't normally like.
00:05:30Ah, if there's a plus one here who has a theory as to how I got Spencer Kuzna out of the box,
00:05:35throw your hand up in the air.
00:05:37You got a theory?
00:05:39White hat guy?
00:05:40Stand up.
00:05:40We're going to give you a mic.
00:05:41Listen, here's what I'm going to do.
00:05:43What's your name?
00:05:44Nick.
00:05:44Nick.
00:05:45I'm going to let you take a guess.
00:05:46If you guess correctly as to how I got Spencer Kuzna out of the box, I'll tell you.
00:05:49Nick, how'd I do it?
00:05:50There's a printer in there.
00:05:53Connected to, like, Wi-Fi.
00:06:03You could take his mic back.
00:06:10That's a good guess.
00:06:13Okay.
00:06:15By the applause, I can tell that's what everyone thinks.
00:06:20Uh, yeah.
00:06:23Uh, there's a printer in the box.
00:06:32Ta-da!
00:06:33Thanks for ruining Christmas, Nick.
00:06:36How's that hot dog taste, huh?
00:06:40Kind of sad, right?
00:06:42A moment ago, I was this cool magician with supernatural powers,
00:06:45and I'm just a regular dude with a little printer.
00:06:47You paid to see a guy print stuff.
00:06:54Could have done that at work for free.
00:06:57Now we're all sad.
00:06:58Okay.
00:06:59You know what?
00:07:00I'm not going to reveal any more secrets.
00:07:02Here's what I ask.
00:07:03Tonight, let's not be two kinds of people.
00:07:05There's enough out there in the world to divide us.
00:07:08Magic should not be one of those things.
00:07:10Tonight, let's let magic bring us together.
00:07:14All right.
00:07:23Let's start the show.
00:07:24How you doing now, Nick?
00:07:51You okay?
00:07:55Oh, man.
00:07:57Let me tell you a little bit about me.
00:07:59I'm married.
00:08:00We have two kids.
00:08:01We've got a daughter, Rosie.
00:08:02She's two.
00:08:03Super cute.
00:08:04Our son, Jack, is six.
00:08:05I love being a dad.
00:08:06I do.
00:08:07I love it.
00:08:07I like to think it's the most important job I'll ever have.
00:08:09And I can say that because I am a magician.
00:08:18One of the perks.
00:08:20Sometimes I get to combine being a magician and being a dad.
00:08:23I love it when that happens.
00:08:25One day, my son asked me what inflation was.
00:08:29Smart kid.
00:08:30And I know a lot of money tricks, so I had the perfect trick to explain to him the concept of inflation.
00:08:36Does anybody have like a $1 bill?
00:08:40You have a $2 bill?
00:08:42All right.
00:08:45You must be a fun aunt.
00:08:47I can tell.
00:08:49Right here.
00:08:50Hello.
00:08:51Hello.
00:08:51What's your name?
00:08:52Lauren.
00:08:53Lauren.
00:08:54Thank you for being one of the few people around you to even reach and check if you have a $1 bill.
00:08:58Can you hand me Lauren's $1 bill there?
00:09:01Thank you, Lauren.
00:09:02Appreciate it.
00:09:04Oh, it's been in circulation for a little while.
00:09:08Okay.
00:09:09So here's how I broke it down for Jack.
00:09:13I said, hey, buddy.
00:09:19You can't buy a lot for a dollar these days.
00:09:22You can't even buy a can of Coke, which is crazy.
00:09:25But 100 years ago, you could buy a lot for a dollar.
00:09:28A can of Coke was only five cents.
00:09:30A dollar would buy you an entire case.
00:09:32And that's back when it was the original recipe, by the way.
00:09:44The good stuff.
00:09:47Today, that costs much more.
00:09:48In fact, 100 years ago, what only cost $1 today to buy that very same thing, you might
00:09:57end up spending as much as $20.
00:10:03And I said, that is what inflation is.
00:10:19And he got it.
00:10:24Could have been you.
00:10:33Could have been you.
00:10:34You got to reach.
00:10:35I got a Honda.
00:10:40You have a Honda?
00:10:44I'll figure something out.
00:10:45Okay.
00:10:48Bless you.
00:10:49All right.
00:10:50So while he wants to see it again, what's your name?
00:10:56Andy.
00:10:57Andy.
00:10:59Let's do a little follow-up lesson for Andy.
00:11:01Hey, buddy.
00:11:17Watch your $100 bill.
00:11:20Watch it close.
00:11:22You sweet, trusting man.
00:11:24Watch as that $100 bill slowly transforms itself.
00:11:31All the way into, oh, boy.
00:11:47And that is what a recession is.
00:11:52Thank you, Andy.
00:11:59Thank you for coming.
00:12:01Moving on.
00:12:07Thank you guys for not being on your phones.
00:12:10I mean, it feels good to not be on the phone.
00:12:12I use my phone too much.
00:12:14I checked my screen time once.
00:12:15It was a bad idea.
00:12:16It said my daily average was 27 hours.
00:12:20However, I have recently come up with a solution to the screen time problem.
00:12:24Anyone else like me uses their phone more than they want?
00:12:26Yeah?
00:12:26What kind of phone do you use?
00:12:30New iPhone one.
00:12:3116?
00:12:32The new one.
00:12:32Yeah, those are designed to be addictive.
00:12:36How about you?
00:12:37Do you use your phone too much?
00:12:38What's your name?
00:12:39Rachel.
00:12:40Rachel.
00:12:41I'll help you with your screen time problem.
00:12:42Come on.
00:12:43Give it up for Rachel.
00:12:45Rachel, bring your phone.
00:12:47We'll put a microphone on you.
00:12:48Rachel, everybody.
00:12:59Do you want to stand right here?
00:13:01Okay.
00:13:02How's it going?
00:13:03Thanks for coming.
00:13:04Who are you here with?
00:13:05Nick, the guy who knew you had a printer.
00:13:11How long have you guys been together?
00:13:13Almost 20 years.
00:13:14Wow.
00:13:15Okay.
00:13:16Wow.
00:13:1920 years of mansplaining.
00:13:21That's, um...
00:13:22Give this woman a medal.
00:13:26Where are you from?
00:13:27Don't tell me, actually.
00:13:27Don't tell me where you're from.
00:13:28What's your zip code where you're from?
00:13:3155016?
00:13:32Oh, 55016 is Cottage Grove, Minnesota.
00:13:35Yeah.
00:13:36Yeah, right.
00:13:37I've been there.
00:13:37I mean, I'll do one better.
00:13:44Four blocks from your house, there's Starbucks.
00:13:47Yeah, okay.
00:13:54You use your phone a lot.
00:13:55Can I see it?
00:13:56Mm-hmm.
00:13:57Okay.
00:13:58Wow.
00:13:58All right.
00:13:59It's not too old.
00:14:00This is good.
00:14:00You got a Target notification.
00:14:02Can I swipe that away?
00:14:03Yeah.
00:14:03Look at that.
00:14:03Where is this?
00:14:04Can we see that?
00:14:05Uh, that's Tybee Island in Georgia.
00:14:08Beautiful photo.
00:14:09Great.
00:14:10Let's see what your screen time is here.
00:14:11Let's see.
00:14:12Screen time is...
00:14:14There we go.
00:14:14Your daily average, four hours and 34 minutes.
00:14:20Oh, that's impressive?
00:14:24That's a part-time job.
00:14:25Guys.
00:14:28Rachel, what are you doing on your phone?
00:14:31Well, lately I thought my dog was dying,
00:14:33so I was researching a lot of stuff.
00:14:36But...
00:14:37But...
00:14:37But...
00:14:38But...
00:14:39Today the vet said that maybe she just fractured her hip.
00:14:44Yay!
00:14:49That's great news.
00:14:53But I'm a nurse, so I always assume the worst.
00:14:56That's your job.
00:14:57Yeah, so then I was, like, Googling a lot of stuff.
00:15:00I see.
00:15:00So that's why your screen time's up.
00:15:02I'll help you with your screen time problem.
00:15:04Okay.
00:15:04But first, let's play a little game.
00:15:06Okay.
00:15:06Can I take the phone out of the case?
00:15:08Yeah.
00:15:08Okay.
00:15:09Wouldn't want anything bad to happen to the case.
00:15:13We're going to play a game called Where's My Phone?
00:15:16Oh.
00:15:16You ever play Where's My Phone?
00:15:17No.
00:15:19Okay.
00:15:19Well, you will as you get older.
00:15:22Here's how it goes.
00:15:23We take Rachel's phone.
00:15:25It goes inside of an envelope here.
00:15:27So we can't see it.
00:15:27But I'm going to seal it.
00:15:29So that we...
00:15:29So that we can't...
00:15:32Tamper-proof?
00:15:35Okay.
00:15:35So it's in there, but we can't see it.
00:15:37All right?
00:15:37You got to keep an eye on it.
00:15:38Okay.
00:15:39Rachel, where's your phone?
00:15:40It's right there.
00:15:41You're doing great.
00:15:41Okay.
00:15:42Now here's where it gets a little tricky.
00:15:43I have another phone.
00:15:45Now this is an old broken iPhone 8.
00:15:47It is...
00:15:48It's been smashed.
00:15:49Long story.
00:15:50But if I put this old broken phone into an identical envelope, Rachel, what's fun is
00:15:54that they look kind of similar.
00:15:56All right?
00:15:56So this is not your phone.
00:15:58Okay?
00:15:58That is your phone.
00:15:59Don't let me confuse you.
00:16:01Okay?
00:16:01Okay?
00:16:01Were you paying attention?
00:16:05No, I wasn't.
00:16:08Do you know where your phone is?
00:16:09Left or right?
00:16:11I don't, to be honest.
00:16:12Okay.
00:16:12It's on the left.
00:16:13It's right.
00:16:13Yes.
00:16:13Okay, good.
00:16:14Standing in front of a crowd.
00:16:15I'm all overwhelmed.
00:16:15Okay.
00:16:15Focus.
00:16:16Focus.
00:16:16This is the easy part of the game, to build your confidence, and it's not going well.
00:16:20So, Rachel.
00:16:22I told you I thought my dog was dying.
00:16:24Yeah, I know.
00:16:25I know.
00:16:25Great fodder for a comedy show.
00:16:28I know, but...
00:16:29Dog's fine.
00:16:31Just a broken hip.
00:16:32We should all be so lucky.
00:16:33That's your phone.
00:16:34Keep an eye on it.
00:16:36Okay.
00:16:37Okay, got it.
00:16:38Where is it?
00:16:38Left or right?
00:16:38It's that one.
00:16:39Great.
00:16:39Okay.
00:16:39I have another broken phone.
00:16:41Already in an envelope.
00:16:45Rachel, left, middle, or right?
00:16:46Yeah, you're doing great.
00:16:47Okay.
00:16:47Just one more time.
00:16:48I have three more broken phones.
00:16:50Already in an envelope.
00:16:52Oh, God.
00:16:53I love...
00:16:54You guys were cocky.
00:16:56Clearly.
00:17:01Someone's been to Vegas.
00:17:05All right.
00:17:06So, Rachel, you want to cut the deck?
00:17:08Just cut.
00:17:10Great.
00:17:10Okay, good.
00:17:11So, Rachel, so one of these envelopes has your phone.
00:17:14Five of them do not.
00:17:14Now, you don't need to guess anymore.
00:17:16Okay, listen.
00:17:16Here's what I want you to do.
00:17:18Would you number the envelopes, one through six, using this marker, which is fantastic?
00:17:21Calm down.
00:17:28One, two, three, four, five, six.
00:17:30Do you play Wordle?
00:17:31Yeah, I do.
00:17:32How'd you know?
00:17:35Same way I knew about the Starbucks.
00:17:47Wordle drives my screen time up.
00:17:48So, I actually...
00:17:49I know, me too.
00:17:50I have a phone-free Wordle version.
00:17:53This is low-tech, so it doesn't bring up your screen time.
00:17:55Here, you toss me.
00:17:57Fantastic.
00:17:58Everybody here, think of a five-letter word.
00:18:00Okay?
00:18:00Think of a five-letter word.
00:18:01I'm going to throw this out to a random...
00:18:04Oh, wow.
00:18:05Nice catch.
00:18:06Stand up.
00:18:08What's your name?
00:18:10Cesar.
00:18:11You're thinking of a five-letter word?
00:18:12Look at me.
00:18:13I'm going to try to guess it.
00:18:15Was it magic?
00:18:18Okay, sit down.
00:18:19You can sit down.
00:18:22I was just thinking he's in a magic show.
00:18:24It would have been he's in a magic show.
00:18:25Okay, but not Cesar.
00:18:26All right.
00:18:27Just killing time.
00:18:28All right, here we go.
00:18:29Rachel.
00:18:31Great font.
00:18:32Look at this.
00:18:33Six, five, four, three, two, one.
00:18:35So, listen.
00:18:35One of these envelopes has your phone.
00:18:37Five of them do not.
00:18:38We're not going to rely on statistics and odds.
00:18:42We are going to rely on your luck.
00:18:43Do you have good luck?
00:18:45Usually not.
00:18:46Okay, well.
00:18:48See if we can turn that around.
00:18:49I have a luck detector.
00:18:50A six-sided die.
00:18:51One, two, three, four, five, six.
00:18:52Come a little closer.
00:18:53Okay.
00:18:54Warm that up in your hands.
00:18:56Rachel, you're going to roll the die inside this bottle so it doesn't go all over the place.
00:19:02Pop it in there.
00:19:03Okay.
00:19:06There we go.
00:19:07Great.
00:19:08You're just going to give the die a shake, whatever number you roll you say.
00:19:10So, three, two, but just roll it once.
00:19:15Be gentle.
00:19:15Don't break the bottle.
00:19:16Just little gentle shakes.
00:19:18She's going to love this game.
00:19:19Five.
00:19:20Five.
00:19:21Okay.
00:19:23Okay.
00:19:24Okay.
00:19:26Oh, God!
00:19:33Did I not mention the hammer?
00:19:36I apologize.
00:19:37Sorry.
00:19:40The hammer's the original handheld device, if you think about it.
00:19:45Irony.
00:19:46Irony, Cesar.
00:19:47Was the word all irony?
00:19:50Okay, fine.
00:19:52Don't be a jerk about it.
00:19:56Here's what's going to happen.
00:19:57We're going to keep rolling and smashing until there's one envelope left.
00:20:01And, Rachel, if the last envelope has your phone, you win.
00:20:04I'm scared.
00:20:07It's a game of phones.
00:20:09Shake it.
00:20:12Four.
00:20:12Four.
00:20:17Kids, try this at home.
00:20:21Roll again.
00:20:22One, two, three, or six.
00:20:25Two.
00:20:25Two.
00:20:26Okay.
00:20:31The envelopes are padded.
00:20:33Don't worry.
00:20:35Roll again.
00:20:36One, three, or six.
00:20:37One, three, or six.
00:20:38Gentle.
00:20:38Gentle.
00:20:40Two.
00:20:41One, three, or six.
00:20:42Six.
00:20:43Six.
00:20:43Oh, wow.
00:20:46That one sounded different.
00:20:51It's cool.
00:20:52We're left with one or three.
00:20:53One or three, Rachel.
00:20:55Two.
00:20:57Two.
00:20:59Two.
00:21:01Four.
00:21:02This is statistically unlikely.
00:21:04One.
00:21:05What?
00:21:05I got one.
00:21:11Should I roll again?
00:21:12No.
00:21:16I mean, I could.
00:21:17No, it's fine.
00:21:17You were right.
00:21:18You are not a very lucky person.
00:21:21It's cool.
00:21:24You do this one.
00:21:25You do this one.
00:21:26I don't want to.
00:21:27It's cathartic.
00:21:28You really deserve it.
00:21:29You deserve it.
00:21:31Come on.
00:21:32Really?
00:21:34Okay.
00:21:35That's good.
00:21:36Oh, one more.
00:21:40I don't want to.
00:21:43Hey, funny story.
00:21:46Do you guys want to know how I got all these broken phones?
00:21:58I'll tell you later.
00:21:59I'll tell you later.
00:22:03Rachel.
00:22:04Yeah.
00:22:05Listen.
00:22:08You can open up envelope number three.
00:22:10Oh, okay.
00:22:12And we can all see what's inside right now.
00:22:15Or you can keep that envelope sealed until you get home tonight.
00:22:21Open it up now.
00:22:22Or live in the moment until this evening.
00:22:24Wait.
00:22:26Okay.
00:22:26What if I gave you $100?
00:22:32I have cash on me at the moment.
00:22:37It's a different bill.
00:22:38What do you want to do?
00:22:39Now or later?
00:22:41I mean, I might as well do now and show the audience.
00:22:43Okay.
00:22:44Open it up, Rachel.
00:22:47Reach in.
00:22:48Make the screen light up.
00:22:49Show us that island.
00:22:50You did it.
00:22:59Rachel.
00:22:59I promised you I'd help you with your screen time.
00:23:02Yeah.
00:23:02So, here.
00:23:05Would you have Nick's name, right?
00:23:07Yeah.
00:23:08Would you call her phone?
00:23:11Yeah.
00:23:12Get ready.
00:23:14Call her when I say go.
00:23:15Okay?
00:23:19I'm going to let you have this bottle.
00:23:21Can I borrow your phone?
00:23:29What?
00:23:30You calling?
00:23:32Call her up.
00:23:33Go, go, go.
00:23:35Calling?
00:23:36Calling?
00:23:37Call from Nick.
00:23:38Call from Nick.
00:23:40What?
00:23:40What?
00:23:45Screen time is no longer an issue for Rachel.
00:23:59Rachel, everybody.
00:24:01That's for you.
00:24:02Thank you so much.
00:24:03Nice to meet you.
00:24:04Nice to meet you.
00:24:05Careful here.
00:24:06Careful here.
00:24:10Living in the moment.
00:24:13Moving on.
00:24:14My son recently asked me when he's allowed to get an iPhone.
00:24:19And he's six, I mean.
00:24:22I said, Jack, you can get an iPhone when you're as old as I was when I got an iPhone.
00:24:29Which is 27.
00:24:32Because when I was six, I did not get an iPhone.
00:24:34I got something quite different.
00:24:36When I turned six, I got one of these.
00:24:38A Rubik's Cube.
00:24:41Yeah.
00:24:42Yeah.
00:24:44Best selling toy of all time.
00:24:47Can you believe that?
00:24:47Yeah.
00:24:48Blew my mind.
00:24:49Because I hated this thing.
00:24:50I hated it.
00:24:51It is very similar to an iPhone.
00:24:52It also wastes your time.
00:24:53Makes you feel bad about yourself.
00:24:54It's very similar.
00:24:56I got a Rubik's Cube when I was six.
00:24:58And that was before the internet and before YouTube.
00:25:02So I couldn't look up how to solve it.
00:25:04It was just me in my room.
00:25:06Justin versus Cube.
00:25:07I started out going like this.
00:25:10Just, I did it.
00:25:14But eventually I would get cocky.
00:25:17And I would take this thing and I would scramble it up.
00:25:20And I would not be able to solve it.
00:25:22And it was extremely frustrating.
00:25:24I didn't have the attention span for it.
00:25:25So I would throw it in the trash.
00:25:27I didn't want my parents to know that.
00:25:29So I would lie and tell them I lost it.
00:25:30I was like, oh, I'm so sad.
00:25:32I just solved it too.
00:25:35And my mom, being the awesome mom that she was, would feel bad.
00:25:38And she'd buy me another one.
00:25:40Again and again.
00:25:41That's why it's the best selling toy of all time.
00:25:45That's my theory.
00:25:47Then I became a magician.
00:25:48When you're a magician, you don't need to know how to solve a Rubik's Cube to solve it.
00:25:52All you need is a paper bag.
00:25:54A mixed up cube.
00:25:58And boom.
00:26:02You need a second cube as well.
00:26:06You also need a second cube.
00:26:08Anyone like me, never been able to solve a Rubik's Cube, always wanted to learn?
00:26:12Oh, wow.
00:26:14Hat guy.
00:26:15Stand up.
00:26:17What's your name?
00:26:19Kyle.
00:26:19How's it going, Kyle?
00:26:20Fantastic.
00:26:21You can't solve a Rubik's Cube?
00:26:22No.
00:26:23Let's talk about it.
00:26:23Come on up here.
00:26:24They'll put a microphone on you.
00:26:25Kyle, everybody.
00:26:26Woo!
00:26:27Woo!
00:26:27Woo!
00:26:27Woo!
00:26:28Woo!
00:26:28Woo!
00:26:28Woo!
00:26:29Woo!
00:26:29Woo!
00:26:30Woo!
00:26:30Woo!
00:26:31Woo!
00:26:32Woo!
00:26:32Hello, Kyle.
00:26:40How's it going?
00:26:41Fantastic.
00:26:42Justin.
00:26:43Good to meet you, sir.
00:26:44Nice to meet you.
00:26:44Thanks for coming.
00:26:45Absolutely.
00:26:46Who are you here with?
00:26:47I got my wife and my daughter.
00:26:49Oh, wow.
00:26:49It's a family affair.
00:26:50Hi.
00:26:51Kyle, where are you from?
00:26:52Well, what's your zip code?
00:26:54Let me think.
00:26:5855092.
00:26:5955092.
00:27:00You are from Wyoming, Minnesota, I believe.
00:27:03You got it.
00:27:03Yeah.
00:27:04You got it.
00:27:06I mean, four blocks from your house.
00:27:14There's no Starbucks.
00:27:15No.
00:27:15No, there isn't.
00:27:18A little more rural.
00:27:19All right.
00:27:20Kyle, what do you do for a living?
00:27:21I own a small business, tree service work.
00:27:27Oh, fantastic.
00:27:28Yes.
00:27:31Hey.
00:27:32Wow.
00:27:33All right.
00:27:34Only in Minnesota.
00:27:37Everyone's like, thank you for your service, Kyle.
00:27:41There's so many trees.
00:27:42It's a hard job, I bet.
00:27:46Can be.
00:27:47What do you do to them?
00:27:48Uh-huh.
00:27:50Get rid of them.
00:27:52Okay.
00:27:54The opposite of conservation.
00:27:56Yes.
00:27:56Yes.
00:27:57You're a tree exterminator.
00:27:58That's right.
00:27:59For residential?
00:28:02Actually, I only do stump grinding.
00:28:04I work with tree service companies, and I do all their stumps.
00:28:08So you're a stump grinder.
00:28:09Yes.
00:28:10And what does that entail?
00:28:10Uh, grinding the stump.
00:28:12Yeah.
00:28:17Sorry.
00:28:19You ever bring your work home with you?
00:28:21Uh, actually, yeah.
00:28:24You do?
00:28:25Yeah, the stump grindings come home with me.
00:28:26The grindings?
00:28:27Yes.
00:28:28What do you do with them?
00:28:29Uh, well, I dump them, and I'm making a wall at my house with it.
00:28:38Your wife is proud.
00:28:39Yeah.
00:28:40Yeah?
00:28:42But, Kyle, you can't solve one of these.
00:28:44No.
00:28:45What if I told you that you will solve that Rubik's Cube tonight in front of 1,000 people
00:28:49in under a minute?
00:28:53Let's go.
00:28:54Can't be harder than grinding a stump, right?
00:28:58Go ahead and mix it up.
00:29:00You know how to do that well.
00:29:01Look at that.
00:29:02Yeah.
00:29:02Look at me go.
00:29:03Uh, Kyle, do you know how many, do you know how many Rubik's Cube combinations are possible?
00:29:07No.
00:29:07Um, guess.
00:29:1212,807.
00:29:17I know, uh, I know someone who knows.
00:29:23Hey, Siri.
00:29:24How many Rubik's Cube combinations are there?
00:29:29A Rubik's Cube has 43 quintillion different possible configurations.
00:29:35You were so close.
00:29:3643 quintillion.
00:29:41Yeah.
00:29:42You ever heard of that?
00:29:43That's a number.
00:29:44No.
00:29:44It's such a big number.
00:29:46Let me give you context.
00:29:48Hey, Siri.
00:29:49How many grains of sand are on planet Earth?
00:29:52There are an estimated seven quintillion grains of sand on Earth.
00:29:59Wow.
00:30:01Wow.
00:30:03Take that in for a second.
00:30:05Wow.
00:30:06I know you've got questions.
00:30:08I've got questions.
00:30:08First off, who counts the sand?
00:30:17That job sucks.
00:30:18If you're having a hard day, be glad you're not a sand counter.
00:30:23Okay?
00:30:24I bet they also bring their work home with them.
00:30:30In their shoes.
00:30:35Shoes.
00:30:36Shoes.
00:30:36Was the wordle shoes?
00:30:37Shoes.
00:30:39Okay.
00:30:42Listen, the reason I tell you all this information is so you know that the cube you just mixed
00:30:46up may be the only cube that's ever existed like that.
00:30:49The odds of there being another cube that looks exactly like that one are one in 43 quintillion.
00:30:55Impossible, right?
00:30:56Impossible.
00:30:58Don't move.
00:31:04Don't move.
00:31:07No way.
00:31:11No way.
00:31:14Yeah.
00:31:32Wow.
00:31:33Wow.
00:31:36Wow.
00:31:38Go in.
00:31:42Wow.
00:31:44That's not even why you came up here.
00:31:46You came up here to solve a Rubik's Cube.
00:31:48Nothing's impossible.
00:31:50Kyle, stand next to me.
00:31:51Okay.
00:31:52Kyle, here's the thing.
00:31:53You can look up how to solve a Rubik's Cube.
00:31:55Anybody can, right?
00:31:56It's on YouTube.
00:31:57There's tutorials.
00:31:57They're taught by children, so it's a little humbling.
00:32:00They're so good.
00:32:01Their little fingers are just moving so quick, and they're trying to focus on speed.
00:32:05We're not going to do that.
00:32:07Kyle, for a guy like us, how old are we?
00:32:1037.
00:32:11Right.
00:32:13Instead, Kyle, you're going to take it, and you're going to twist it behind your back like this.
00:32:17Okay.
00:32:17Okay?
00:32:18You're not going to try to solve it in your hands.
00:32:20You're going to solve it with your imagination.
00:32:23Okay.
00:32:24Face forward.
00:32:25Yep.
00:32:26Do you have a good imagination?
00:32:28Excellent.
00:32:29Okay, good.
00:32:29Yes.
00:32:31Let's find out.
00:32:33Here, behind the back.
00:32:35Just practice, nice and slow.
00:32:36Nice and slow.
00:32:38What are you thinking about?
00:32:43Thinking about my wife right now, actually.
00:32:48She's so proud.
00:32:49She's...
00:32:50Stop.
00:32:55Stop.
00:32:55Stop.
00:32:56All right.
00:32:57Don't think about your wife.
00:32:58No offense, but...
00:32:59That doesn't work.
00:33:00The stakes are too high.
00:33:02Okay?
00:33:02Don't think about your wife.
00:33:04Don't think about me.
00:33:05Don't think about the thousand people here judging you.
00:33:08Don't think about the millions more at home.
00:33:12Think about colors.
00:33:13You're going to think about colors.
00:33:14I'm going to say a color.
00:33:15You think of things that are that color.
00:33:17Okay?
00:33:18All right.
00:33:18Face the people.
00:33:19Behind the back.
00:33:23All right.
00:33:24Just twist.
00:33:25Twist.
00:33:26Think of orange things.
00:33:27What's orange, Kyle?
00:33:28Pumpkin.
00:33:30All right.
00:33:30Good.
00:33:31Good.
00:33:32See?
00:33:33See?
00:33:34Pumpkins.
00:33:34Maybe there's pumpkins.
00:33:36Are they in the wild or are they at a store?
00:33:37Both.
00:33:41All right.
00:33:42We're standing on the edge of a pumpkin.
00:33:44We're at a farmer's market.
00:33:46It's a wild store.
00:33:47Okay.
00:33:48Pumpkins.
00:33:48Big pumpkins.
00:33:49Little pumpkins.
00:33:50Medium pumpkins.
00:33:50It's wonderful.
00:33:51Pumpkins.
00:33:51You're doing great with orange.
00:33:52Yellow.
00:33:52What's yellow?
00:33:54School bus.
00:33:55Okay.
00:33:56We left the farmer's market.
00:33:57We are at...
00:33:58We're out of school.
00:34:01We're at the corner.
00:34:02It's school bus time.
00:34:03The school bus pulls up.
00:34:05It's dropping off the kids.
00:34:06It's a beautiful yellow school bus.
00:34:07Yellow.
00:34:08You're marveling at the yellow.
00:34:09Blue.
00:34:09What's blue?
00:34:10The sky.
00:34:12Okay.
00:34:12We're looking up.
00:34:13We're looking up at the sky.
00:34:14Ignoring the school bus.
00:34:15We're looking at the beautiful blue sky.
00:34:17It's beautiful.
00:34:18It's blue.
00:34:19Green.
00:34:20Trees.
00:34:21Leaves.
00:34:22Great.
00:34:22Leaves.
00:34:23All right.
00:34:23So you're at work.
00:34:24You're at work.
00:34:26That's fine.
00:34:27You're marveling at the beautiful trees that you are going to just disintegrate with your
00:34:31machine.
00:34:33You're going to pulverize them into nothingness.
00:34:36Red.
00:34:37What's red?
00:34:40Balloons.
00:34:42Okay.
00:34:45We're at your retirement party.
00:34:48You did a good job pulverizing roots.
00:34:52Beautiful red balloons.
00:34:54Now white things.
00:34:55What's white?
00:34:57Wedding dress.
00:34:58Oh, wow.
00:34:59Okay.
00:35:01Well, you're redoing your vows because your wife is so proud of you.
00:35:06She's so proud of how good you were with your colors and your imagination.
00:35:12You were such a good boy thinking of things that were every color.
00:35:16You were so good.
00:35:17Do you know what you just did, Kyle?
00:35:18For a brief second, you forgot about the cube.
00:35:20You forgot about me.
00:35:21I did.
00:35:21You forgot about them.
00:35:24When you feel like it's time to stop, just freeze.
00:35:28Huh?
00:35:28Show them what you did.
00:35:31Show them what you did.
00:35:32Wow.
00:35:43That's awesome.
00:35:44That's a souvenir.
00:35:49Kyle!
00:35:53Man.
00:36:02That's the power of the imagination right there.
00:36:07Power.
00:36:08Was the word of power.
00:36:11Screw you.
00:36:13No.
00:36:15Oh, hey.
00:36:16Does anybody happen to have a $1 bill that I can borrow?
00:36:20One dollar bill.
00:36:21Oh, hello.
00:36:21Hey.
00:36:24Have we met?
00:36:26What's your name, sir?
00:36:27Andy.
00:36:28Andy.
00:36:28You happen to have...
00:36:29Hi.
00:36:29Hi.
00:36:29You happen to have...
00:36:30Yeah.
00:36:32I didn't know if you were...
00:36:36You're going to pull me down there.
00:36:39Thank you for giving this.
00:36:40What do you got to lose?
00:36:41Hey, buddy.
00:36:52Hey, buddy.
00:36:59Andy, you know the phrase, fool me once?
00:37:08Fool me twice.
00:37:09Now, Andy, don't worry.
00:37:15Andy.
00:37:16Andy.
00:37:16Watch close.
00:37:17I'm not only going to restore that $1 bill back into one piece, but I'm going to transform it all the way into...
00:37:27Wait.
00:37:34What was once worth something is now worth nothing.
00:37:39And that's how NFTs work.
00:37:54Moving on.
00:37:59What's your zip code, by the way?
00:38:01Five, five, three, three, zero.
00:38:02Five, five, three, three, zero.
00:38:05Elk River, Minnesota.
00:38:06Four blocks from your house.
00:38:13Two blocks.
00:38:14No, there's two.
00:38:15There's two Starbucks?
00:38:17I've been there.
00:38:20I haven't been there, actually.
00:38:21Let me tell you what's going on.
00:38:23When I was 12, I spent one summer memorizing every zip code in America.
00:38:27I don't want to say I was unpopular.
00:38:30I had a lot of free time on my hands.
00:38:32This was before the internet.
00:38:33This is what we did.
00:38:34I got a gift when I was 12.
00:38:36I'll never forget it.
00:38:38I was gifted the zip code directory.
00:38:43Yeah, that's how I learned there are 46,000 zip codes in America.
00:38:47This book, not a fun read.
00:38:51Audiobook, even worse.
00:38:54Let's see if I still got it.
00:38:55If you've got a good zip code, let's venture outside of Minnesota.
00:38:58If you've got a good zip code, put your hand up in the air.
00:39:00I'll try to tell you where you're from.
00:39:04Balcony, hello.

00:39:43Let me take this microphone off my head here.
00:39:45Okay.
00:39:48I'm going to switch to this one.
00:39:51Hey, Nick.
00:39:54Would you do me a favor?
00:39:54Would you check my ears?
00:39:55Make sure there's no tiny Wi-Fi printers in there.
00:39:59You can stick your fingers in there if you want.
00:40:00No one's talking to me like a news anchor.
00:40:02Do you want to give me a wet willy?
00:40:05Nah.
00:40:06You sure?
00:40:06Take your word.
00:40:07Okay.

00:40:45My brain works the zip code first, then the...

00:42:37Wausau, Oklahoma.
00:42:38That's a hard one to say.
00:42:40Yes.
00:42:40Okay.
00:42:41Okay.
00:42:42Here we go.
00:42:42Yo.
00:42:43What do you got?
00:42:4463124.
00:42:45Oh, St. Louis, Missouri.
00:42:46What's up?
00:42:47Did we go to high school together?
00:42:48The Dewhorton Walkman.
00:42:49What year did you graduate?
00:42:5095.
00:42:5195?
00:42:52Well, I'm 37, so...
00:42:55It's good to see you.
00:43:00You got one?

00:43:19Stand up.
00:43:20Oh, no pressure.
00:43:22What's yours?
00:43:2389511.
00:43:2589511.
00:43:26What is your name?
00:43:27Tiffany.
00:43:27Tiffany from Reno, Nevada.
00:43:29Are you not entertained?
00:43:30Are you not entertained?
00:43:41Would everyone who set a zip code stand back up for me?
00:43:44Okay, great.
00:43:46Good.
00:43:47Hastings, you can stand up too.
00:43:53Be nice.
00:43:56Well, you've been through enough.
00:43:58You can take a seat.
00:44:02I'm going to try to recite your zip codes back at you.
00:44:06I'm going to try to do it in the order you gave it to me.
00:44:07So, listen for your five digits when you hear your zip code.
00:44:11Take a seat.
00:44:12Okay?
00:44:14Okay, that was a lot.
00:44:18Bless you.
00:44:21We had 45251.
00:44:28Cincinnati.
00:44:29Oh, up there.
00:44:30Then we had 54601.
00:44:35Then we had 33323.
00:44:39Then was Hastings, Florida in the house.
00:44:43All right, then we picked up some gas.
00:44:44We had 54481.
00:44:45There was 55434.
00:44:48We had 55011.
00:44:51There was 19128.
00:44:53We had 54703.
00:44:55We had 49230, 54016, 540701, out in the lobby there.
00:45:0574055, 63124, 44720, 99701, and 89511.
00:45:13That's it.
00:45:14Hey, Andy.
00:45:35If you had to put a dollar amount on how much fun you've had so far,
00:45:42I bet I know what it'd be.
00:45:44You've been a good sport.
00:45:46I have a prize for you, actually.
00:45:48Andy.
00:45:49I actually have six potential prizes.
00:45:55Whatever number you pick, you get that prize.
00:45:57So you have a choice to make.
00:45:591, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
00:46:00Andy, what do you want?
00:46:02Four.
00:46:03Four.
00:46:04This one right here.
00:46:05Okay.
00:46:06Who are you here with?
00:46:07My wife.
00:46:08Your wife.
00:46:08Hey.
00:46:09Do you want to ask her what her thoughts are?
00:46:14She said, I don't know, man.
00:46:18You support four?
00:46:20Yeah.
00:46:21Okay.
00:46:22Final answer is?
00:46:23Four.
00:46:24Okay.
00:46:24It's a good one.
00:46:32It's a selfie.
00:46:36What could be better than that?
00:46:37I'm going to come down there.
00:46:56Andy, we're going to take a $100 selfie right now.
00:47:00Come here.
00:47:00Stand next to me here.
00:47:02You want to take it or you want me to take it?
00:47:04Either way.
00:47:04I'm pretty good at it.
00:47:06Okay.
00:47:06Are you?
00:47:07Yeah, let's see.
00:47:16Come here.
00:47:16Come here.
00:47:17Is it okay if I tag DJ Khaled when I post that on Instagram?
00:47:20I can't leave it like this.
00:47:29You're very sweet.
00:47:31But these people are going to get asked tomorrow, hey, how was the Justin Willman show?
00:47:35And they're going to say, it was fun, but he did rob a guy.
00:47:41That's bad press.
00:47:42I'll be outside.
00:47:43Oh, yeah, there's that too.
00:47:53And I'd love to see you outside for another, I'm sure, another friendly selfie.
00:48:00I got one more offer for you.
00:48:02I have my wallet.
00:48:06Actually, I have both my wallets.
00:48:08I have two wallets.
00:48:10Andy, one of these wallets has a $100 bill in it.
00:48:15You get to pick one wallet.
00:48:18You get what's in that wallet.
00:48:20So do you want this one or this one?
00:48:23This one?
00:48:27You sure?
00:48:28That's the one.
00:48:29Do you want to ask your wife?
00:48:31No, you can't be trusted.
00:48:33It's the other one.
00:48:34Okay.
00:48:34It's the other one?
00:48:35Yeah.
00:48:37Go with your hand.
00:48:39Go with your gut?
00:48:41This was your gut.
00:48:42Go with your gut.
00:48:43Who the hell are you?
00:48:44I think he wants to meet you outside.
00:48:55All right, Andy.
00:48:58I wouldn't want to be you right now, okay?
00:49:0050-50 shot.
00:49:01These are good odds.
00:49:02These are the best odds anyone's had all night, okay?
00:49:05Rachel's odds were one in six.
00:49:07And her phone's in a bottle.
00:49:09So it's a bad example, actually.
00:49:12Do you want to go with your gut?
00:49:14Or your wife's gut?
00:49:19You're going to go with...
00:49:21Go ahead and open it up.
00:49:27Take a peek up top there.
00:49:29Show them.
00:49:31100 bucks!
00:49:35I'll take that, yeah.
00:49:40Am I done?
00:49:40Yeah, you're done.
00:49:42Hey, in the future, always trust your wife.
00:49:55I got lucky.
00:49:56You know, my son stumped me the other day.
00:50:04He asked me what serendipity was.
00:50:06He watches a lot of rom-coms.
00:50:10No, I love...
00:50:11I say serendipity a lot.
00:50:12I love serendipity.
00:50:13I love the concept of serendipity.
00:50:15I love pointing it out when it happens.
00:50:16But it is a hard concept to explain to a kid.
00:50:19Serendipity is something you have to experience, I think,
00:50:22to really understand.
00:50:23And there aren't any magic tricks that explain serendipity.
00:50:26So, I thought, tonight, we could make one together.
00:50:33In a moment, five people are going to come on stage,
00:50:38and they are each going to spin this prize wheel
00:50:41in order to win one of these 12 stuffed animals.
00:50:44Behold, Timu's finest array.
00:50:52After they win a stuffed animal,
00:50:54they are going to choose one of these five colorful seats to sit in.
00:50:58Now, here's the thing.
00:51:00Since this is something I'm trying to use
00:51:02to explain something to my kids,
00:51:04I think it's only right that the five people
00:51:06who come on stage are kids.
00:51:08Do we have any kids here tonight?
00:51:14Oh, we do.
00:51:15We're going to choose our five kids
00:51:17by throwing out five Frisbees.
00:51:21All right.
00:51:22I'm going to hurl these into the audience.
00:51:23Okay.
00:51:24If you catch it and you're not a kid,
00:51:25give it to the nearest kid.
00:51:26That kid should mow your lawn.
00:51:28All right?
00:51:30Frisbees coming out.
00:51:31All right.
00:51:38Five kids.
00:51:45Come on up.
00:51:46Hold on to those Frisbees.
00:51:49Wait at the bottom of the stairs here.
00:51:50We're going to put a little microphone on you.
00:51:53Now, here's the thing.
00:51:54The dictionary defines serendipity
00:51:55as an unexpected fortunate discovery.
00:51:59Happy accident.
00:52:00I think it's something much deeper than that.
00:52:02And I'll show you what I mean.
00:52:03Let's welcome our kids.
00:52:05Kids, come to the stage.
00:52:08Hello.
00:52:10Can you stand here in the line?
00:52:17Join me a little this way.
00:52:18Hello, kids.
00:52:19How's it going?
00:52:20Okay.
00:52:20You caught the Frisbee.
00:52:21You did it.
00:52:22On your Frisbees,
00:52:23will you turn it so the black dot side
00:52:25is facing the audience?
00:52:26Yeah.
00:52:27So that black dot is a sticker,
00:52:29and under that sticker is a number.
00:52:30So if everyone would pull the tab
00:52:32on that black dot,
00:52:33show everybody what number you have.
00:52:35Great.
00:52:36That number determines the order
00:52:38that you spin for a prize.
00:52:40So I'll take those stickers back.
00:52:42And everybody here can wait
00:52:43while number one joins me at the wheel.
00:52:47Come on over here.
00:52:52Hi.
00:52:53Hi.
00:52:55What's your name?
00:52:56Amelia.
00:52:56Amelia.
00:52:58Give the wheel a spin.
00:52:59How old are you, Amelia?
00:53:01I'm 13.
00:53:0213.
00:53:04What's it like being 13?
00:53:06It's really great.
00:53:08We're just living in the moment.
00:53:09What do you want to be in the future?
00:53:10Do you know?
00:53:11Um, no idea.
00:53:13No idea?
00:53:13Maybe a stump grinder.
00:53:15Maybe.
00:53:17You've won an inchworm.
00:53:21Yay.
00:53:21So, Amelia,
00:53:30you caught a frisbee randomly.
00:53:32You have now won a random stuffy.
00:53:34Now, you get to take a seat
00:53:36in any one of these chairs.
00:53:38There are five colors.
00:53:38Red, orange, yellow, green, and blue.
00:53:42Go ahead and pick a seat.
00:53:43Okay.
00:53:47Who's number two?
00:53:49Join me number two.
00:53:50Come on over here.
00:53:51Number two.
00:53:52What's up?
00:53:56How you doing?
00:53:57Let's face the people here.
00:53:59What's your name?
00:54:00Uh, Frederick.
00:54:01Frederick.
00:54:01Nice to meet you, Frederick.
00:54:02Give the wheel a spin.
00:54:05Frederick, how old are you?
00:54:06Eight.
00:54:07Eight.
00:54:08What do you want to be in the future?
00:54:11I don't know.
00:54:12You don't know.
00:54:12You don't have to set it in stone
00:54:13until you're 14.
00:54:18Real quick,
00:54:19what are your thoughts on AI
00:54:20and its implications on humanity?
00:54:23I have no idea.
00:54:24You've won a horse.
00:54:26A horse for Frederick, everybody.
00:54:28There it is.
00:54:34Go ahead and choose a seat.
00:54:40Satisfied customer.
00:54:41Number three.
00:54:44Join me at the wheel.
00:54:48Hi.
00:54:50What's your name?
00:54:52Louisa.
00:54:52Louisa.
00:54:53Give the wheel a spin.
00:54:55Louisa, how old are you?
00:54:57Eleven.
00:54:57Eleven.
00:54:58I was eleven when I was your age.
00:55:02Do you know what you want to be in the future?
00:55:04Not really.
00:55:05Let's figure it out right now.
00:55:06What do you enjoy?
00:55:08Um.
00:55:10I like drawing and dance.
00:55:13You should be a dance sketch artist or something.
00:55:18You've won a sloth.
00:55:20All right.
00:55:23That's cute.
00:55:25Go ahead and pick a chair.
00:55:28Number four.
00:55:30Hello.
00:55:30What's your name?
00:55:36Lily.
00:55:36Lily?
00:55:37Yeah.
00:55:38Spin the wheel, Lily.
00:55:40Oh, we're going to be chatting for a while.
00:55:45Lily, your sweatshirt says Bear Island Lake.
00:55:47Where is that?
00:55:48Minnesota.
00:55:49Do you know how many lakes are in Minnesota?
00:55:51Eleven thousand eight hundred and forty-two.
00:55:53Quintillion.
00:55:53Quintillion.
00:55:53Well, you have won yourself a narwhal.
00:56:06That's lake related.
00:56:08A narwhal.
00:56:10All right.
00:56:11Pick any chair.
00:56:12Number five.
00:56:13Hello.
00:56:14Hi.
00:56:18What's your name?
00:56:19Simon.
00:56:20Simon.
00:56:21Give the wheel a spin.
00:56:22Simon, how old are you?
00:56:23Um, thirteen.
00:56:24Thirteen.
00:56:25What are your thoughts on AI and its implications on humanity?
00:56:27Uh, tons of children in my grade use it to cheat on math tests.
00:56:31You know, there's five.
00:56:35How many other names can you say right now?
00:56:39Who?
00:56:39Uh, Ava, Sarah's.
00:56:42I don't know.
00:56:44Who's going to find out?
00:56:48You've won a sloth, but it's already been won, so spin it again and spit out some names,
00:56:52bro.
00:56:52Uh, Blake, Joey, Emmett, Owen.
00:56:57Oh, yeah.
00:56:58Um.
00:56:59It's going down.
00:57:01Sam, Caleb, Ethan, Jameson, Cohen.
00:57:05That's right.
00:57:06Uh.
00:57:07Do you do it?
00:57:09Hmm.
00:57:13You've won an eagle.
00:57:14Our time is up.
00:57:15All right.
00:57:15All right.
00:57:16That is for you.
00:57:18Choose any chair.
00:57:27Look at the joy these stuffies have brought these children.
00:57:30I'm sure you're wondering what any of this has to do with serendipity.
00:57:36Listen, dictionary definition, I don't think, does it justice.
00:57:40I think serendipity is the universe letting you know that you are in the right place at
00:57:45the right time.
00:57:47Five strangers in the same room at the same time, probably for the first time ever.
00:57:51You're in the same room at the same time, probably the last time ever.
00:57:55Yet somehow, they are exactly where they're supposed to be.
00:57:59All because they caught a frisbee.
00:58:01Would you show your numbers to the audience so we can see?
00:58:04I'm going to write this down, if that's cool here.
00:58:09Just rotate it a little bit.
00:58:10That one, the two is a little.
00:58:11You have created, let's see, three, two, one, four, five.
00:58:37Three, two, one, four, five.
00:58:38If any of them had chosen to sit in a different seat, we would have created a different five-digit
00:58:43number, but we created this five-digit number, three, two, one, four, five, which happens
00:58:53to be a zip code.
00:58:55You had a phone?
00:58:57Would you open it up to Google Maps?
00:59:00Google Maps?
00:59:01Okay, good.
00:59:01Three, two, one, four, five.
00:59:03I'm just going to type three, two, one, four, five, zip.
00:59:09Zip.
00:59:11Would you tell them what city that's the zip code for?
00:59:16Hashtings, Florida.
00:59:18Hastings, Florida.
00:59:22No joke.
00:59:24No joke, bro.
00:59:26Hastings, Florida.
00:59:29Hastings, Florida.
00:59:31You didn't even know that.
00:59:32You're welcome.
00:59:38That's what I'm talking about.
00:59:46Why did you choose the red chair?
00:59:49Because my favorite color is red.
00:59:50That's what I'm talking about.
00:59:52Why did you choose the green chair?
00:59:54One of my favorite colors.
00:59:55One of them.
00:59:56You guys are up here because you caught a Frisbee.
00:59:58You spun the wheel.
00:59:59You got paired with a stuffy.
01:00:01Would you show them what you won?
01:00:03Show them.
01:00:04This beautiful sloth.
01:00:05All because you caught Frisbee number three,
01:00:07which I don't refer to as Frisbee number three.
01:00:09To me, it will always be the sloth Frisbee.
01:00:16Interesting.
01:00:19Show them what you got.
01:00:20You won a horse because of Frisbee number two,
01:00:22which just so happens to be the horse Frisbee.
01:00:28You won the most portable stuffy of all,
01:00:32the inchworm.
01:00:34The inchworm Frisbee.
01:00:39Narwhal?
01:00:42Narwhal.
01:00:45Eagle?
01:00:48You're darn right it's an eagle.
01:00:51Would the five of you stand up, step to the right?
01:00:54You won an eagle, you chose to sit in the blue chair,
01:01:00which just so happens to be where the eagle is.
01:01:05You won a narwhal, you chose to sit exactly where the narwhal is.
01:01:11Inchworm?
01:01:12H-word.
01:01:14H-word.
01:01:14H-word.
01:01:14H-word.
01:01:15Horse?
01:01:16Of course.
01:01:17Of course.
01:01:18And of course, such love!
01:01:28Take a bow.
01:01:29Give it up for the kids!
01:01:32You can head back.
01:01:36Head on back.
01:01:40Giddy up!
01:01:43And that is what serendipity is!
01:01:50Oh!
01:01:52Kill the music.
01:01:53Sorry.
01:01:53Kill the music.
01:01:54Kill the music.
01:01:56Kill the music.
01:01:57Kill the animals.
01:01:58No.
01:01:58You know what I meant.
01:02:05The wordle.
01:02:06It's going to bug me.
01:02:08Stand up.
01:02:08Would you just tell me what it is?
01:02:10Shine.
01:02:11Shine.
01:02:14Of course it's shine.
01:02:15Of course it's shine.
01:02:18Because shine is spelled S as in sloth.
01:02:25H as in horse.
01:02:28I as in inchworm.
01:02:33N as in narwhal.
01:02:34And E as in eagle.
01:02:37S-H-I-N-E.
01:02:40S-H-I-N-E.
01:02:40S-H-I-N-E.
01:02:44S-H-I-N-E.
01:03:06Thank you, St. Paul.
