0:00.0	Today there's a big story on Twitter about this magician comedian. I think his name is Andy
0:08.9	Gross or Alex Gross. Okay. And he was doing a show at Purdue and he was doing this very cheesy,
0:18.0	suggestive kind of magic act. Oh, you saw the clip? No. But it was like, I need to volunteer
0:25.7	in a woman to get up and he's like, all right, stand back to back and like, oh, that feels good.
0:30.0	That kind of stuff goes in the little college crowd. The college crowd's waiting. The college crowd
0:36.5	was not happy. Oh, my God. And they walked out. Oh, dear. But it was so cheesy and like,
0:43.8	what year is this dude? Well, but that does sound like the kind of shows that get done
0:48.2	by the USO for the troops. Big time. Big time. Big time. Did you see any of that footage

1:53.6	the magician panel before we approved you. I understand. That's what happens. Yeah.
1:59.8	Now, I've seen your act and the magic in it's great. Thank you. I want to say that the illusions
2:06.4	are top-notch. Thank you so much. I've been working really hard. Really cutting-edge stuff. Like,
2:11.5	I almost thought, is this magic sometimes? Oh, oh god. I'm sorry. I'm later. We're
