Hi.
Oh, awesome.
How are you?
How are you feeling?
Oh, man, great day to be alive, huh?
It is.
Yes.
Wonderful.
You look good.
Thank you.
You look amazing, as always.
Thank you so much.
I don't like to know what's going to happen.
So what kind of trick are you going to do?
It's going to be great.
Because here's the deal.
tWitch, I need you.
And Andy, I need you, too.
And Ellen, I need you three.
So we're going to use all you guys.
So come on up here.
All right.
Yes, come on up.
And also, this is the best part.
You guys stand right here.
Wait.
I need somebody from the audience who's going to help out.
Come on.
All right.
Oh, shh.
Take this pen.
And I want you to initial.
This is a brand new deck.
Just write your initials real big back there.
All right?
All right, just as we can get a close-up on this
so everybody can see, we got the initials A-J right there.
OK?
Now, you hold this.
We're going to get back to you in a second.
Make sure nothing happens to this.
But you have a seat.
We're good.
All right, here we go.
Oh, this is going to be great.
All right.
I got to travel the country playing football.
I got to see all over.
So guess what I have?
I have a giant map right here.
Da-da-da-da.
There it is.
And guess what?
We're going to throw footballs in select states.
Now, check this out.
There's numbers.
The states are numbered.
We're going to add up the numbers.
And I got some money here in the chest.
Hopefully, those numbers make sense to the money
here in the chest.
And Andy, you get to hold the key.
Yeah, buddy.
And Andy, you're going first.
Are you ready?
Come on up.
You guys can see.
Now you guys can watch and see how this goes.
Grab a football.
You can snap it or you can throw it at any one you want.
I'm going to throw it.
Go.
Oh, this is great.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
We got Colorado.
That's number 38.
That was a great job.
You guys can feel free to clap on a great throw.
tWitch, you're up next, tWitch.
Now, check this out, man.
You can snap it.
You can throw it.
You can underhand it.
You can place it.
Whatever you want.
OK, cool.
I think the crowd would like to see you long snap one.
But it's your call.
Yeah, I mean, I'm going to.
Oh, you're going to underhand it.
I'm just going to underhand it.
OK, yeah.
I like that.
That's slow pitch to underhand.
You know, just to give it a chance.
Yeah, yeah, I got you.
I got you.
You know what I'm saying?
Oh, they're OK.
The point is at 44.
You want Wyoming?
Yeah.
OK, Wyoming.
That's 44.
So we're going to add 38 plus 44.
And that's Wyoming.
So tWitch, we got Wyoming.
Andy, we got Colorado.
Ellen, guess what?
You're up.
OK.
All right.
Come on up.
Oh, she's in the game.
Yes!
She's proud.
Yeah!
And Ellen, Ellen, you have hit Nebraska.
That's 37.
So we're going to add up all these numbers.
Here's what's great.
We've got 44, Wyoming, plus 38, Colorado, plus 37, Nebraska.
That gives us a number of what?
119.
Andy, you got a key to that chest.
OK.
Hand me the key.
I'll open it just to make this easy.
I'm saying that there's actually $1.19 in this chest.
How great would that be?
It'd be amazing.
Amazing.
Ellen, you can open it up.
It doesn't matter.
Like I said, we have 44, 38, 17.
Open up all that money.
Count the money.
You should actually count out to $1.17.
Count that out.
Nope.
No, we mean $1.19.
Wait, count that out.
That's $0.75, $0.85, $0.97.
$0.97.
Wait a minute.
First of all, it's $0.92.
It happens.
You know what?
Hold on.
I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.
I was getting closer to the number.
Here's where I think we went wrong.
In the United States, we actually
print the states on the backs of quarters.
Right.
There's a state.
The three states we landed on, Wyoming,
was it Colorado, and Nebraska.
Why don't we turn over the quarters and see what states?
My eyes aren't that good.
I can't even count.
OK, over here we have, wow, Nebraska.
Nebraska.
That was hit by, I believe, Ellen.
There you go.
Put it there?
Yeah, leave it right there.
OK, this one says Colorado.
Colorado.
Was it Twitch?
Did you hit Colorado?
One of you guys did.
And the last one?
Give it to me.
Wyoming.
Wyoming, put it right there so they can see.
Now hold on.
Hold on.
Before we started, what did we do?
Honey, come here.
Are you ready?
What did we do here?
We initialed this.
But you've been holding this deck the entire time.
Yeah.
Yeah?
Here's the deal.
Twitch, I'm going to need your help, Twitch.
All right.
Yeah, here.
All right, here, look.
This deck's been sealed the entire time.
What initials do you see?
AJ.
Put it right here.
Put it right where?
Yeah.
And then check this out.
We're going to cut this open like this.
And then do you want to cut this open, or do you want me to?
You open it.
Check out.
Yeah, open up the box.
Yeah, rip it, and then open the top.
The sticker's still on there.
OK.
I know it's the hardest part, Twitch.
I know.
OK.
OK, good.
Now watch, watch.
I'm just going to dump these out to make this quick.
Look.
If I take these cards out, in the center here,
check this out, we actually got a few cards
in the middle right here.
And we've got some words written.
We have three names.
We have Andy, we have Twitch, and we have Ellen.
And Andy, I had a hunch that you were going to Colorado.
Wow.
I tell you what, Twitch, I had a hunch
that you were going to Wyoming.
And Ellen, we love you so much.
Ellen, we knew you were going to Nebraska right there.
Give these three a big hand.
We love them.
Twitch, my man.
Man, that was a good team.
That was amazing, bro.
Love you.
Hey, how about this long snapper right here, huh?
You said there was going to be $1.19 in there.
I kind of thought the states on the backs of the quarters
was kind of better than that.
That's pretty amazing.
The old bait and switch, baby.
We're back with the wonderful John Doran, boss.
And you have one more trick for us, John?
I do, I do.
All right, here we go.
You can reach in here, pull out whatever card you want.
This one.
Yep, and then I'm going to turn away, show the camera.
OK.
OK, and when you guys all got it, let me know.
We good?
Yep.
OK, put it in the center.
Perfect.
Leave it sticking out.
That's it, right?
OK, this isn't really a trick.
It's more like a move.
And I'm like a kid in a candy store,
so I'm just going to show you this.
So it can go in the center.
And then you just do this, and your card
will jump to the top without really doing anything.
It was the ace of diamonds, so it
goes from the middle to the top with a dribble.
No.
Right.
Anytime a card acts up, you always get rid of it.
I tell you what, what was it?
The king of clubs.
OK, got it.
Are you sure it wasn't that ace of diamonds?
Pretty sure.
You sure?
If I flick the king, I can get that ace back in one piece.
Now the card you picked, name it out loud one more time for me.
King of clubs.
Check out.
Turn over the pieces one by one on the mat.
Oh my god.
Turn them over one by one.
Oh my god.
Now hold on.
There it is.
But hold on, hold on.
Here's the deal.
Now here's the deal.
It's this, is that we can't leave like this.
And the reason we can't leave like this
is because these guys are actually in pieces.
So we can't do that.
And when we leave your show, we feel whole.
We feel good about ourselves.
So let me see your hand.
Put your other hand on top.
Check this out.
Here's the move.
Watch.
Did you feel that?
Yeah, I did.
Pick your hand up.
Just like you make us feel every day, we come together.
We feel whole.
And we feel like new just because of you.
We love you.
The greatest woman in the world right here.
Great day to be alive.
You're amazing.
