Happy Monday and welcome to Perez Chats and an extra special episode. Joining me today

is somebody that I used to have beef with. But we have both grown up squashed that silliness

0:20.0

and had a really wonderful heartfelt sincere, fun chat. Chris Angel has been headlining

0:28.9

and lost Vegas for a very long time. He's one of the most famous magicians in the world.

I can't thank him enough for his time and you for your time for listening. Enjoy it.

You've got a new TV show which I want to talk about. But first I want to start off by

2:06.1

as people professionally and personally, then we're like dead. For me, it's all about

2:12.7

A decade is a long time ago. That was 2008. That was more than a decade ago. It was a long

2:25.5

time ago. With a child and you have children now that had pediatric cancer, it puts everything

2:34.8

in perspective. You see life in a very different way. I believe in the man upstairs. I believe
