If I ask you to hold me here and just lift me up.
Really?
I'm Lior Suchard, and I'm a mentalist,
which means I can read your minds and influence your thoughts.
Imagine you're temporarily losing your strength.
Today's guest is the greatest tight end in the history of football.
I'm talking about Rob Gronkowski.
And try to lift me up.
[groans] Oh.
Try it again! You can do it. - [laughter]
LIOR: So I'm going to meet with Rob and his friends
and we'll see if I can mess with their minds.
[groans, laughs] - Come on. Go, go! Try it again!
You all know this guy?
[applause, cheering]
Hi, guys. - [whistles]
Okay, so here's the game. Look over there. You see two question marks.
GRONKOWSKI: Yes, I do.
LIOR: One is on your left, and one is on your right.
GRONKOWSKI: Yes. - So, you're gonna take the ball
and you're gonna run...
through one of those doors. GRONKOWSKI: All right.
There's one little thing that I forgot to mention.
I'm gonna be standing behind one of those doors. [chuckles]
And I hope I know which one you're gonna run through.
No way!
So, how fast am I running? Full, full speed?
Full speed, but I don't want you to see where I'm standing.
All right. So what do I? LIOR: So, turn around.
Turn around. - All right, turn around.
All three of you, turn around. GRONKOWSKI: All right.
LIOR: Turn around, all three of you. Okay? Okay?
GRONKOWSKI: Okay.
GOON: Okay. - Okay.
I'm not cheating. LIOR: Don't cheat.
I'm not either. LIOR: Good.
[Lior on walkie-talkie] All right, guys. Turn around.
Okay.
Rob, you gotta do a countdown. - Come on. Come on.
From three. CROWD: Three, two, one!
Oh, he's going! He's going!
Oh! [screams] - [applause]
CROWD: Oh!
God! Oh, my God.
No way! Where's Lior? No way!
That was awesome. Yes!
That was fun, but that's just the first 50:50, right?
Yes. - Let's do it again.
You guys are ready?
Oh, we're ready. - We're ready.
GRONKOWSKI: We're ready. I'm warmed up.
Lior, is there an ambulance standing by?
LIOR: Okay, let's do it.
CROWD: Three, two, one!
Oh, he's going! [screams] - [cheering]
Go, go, go, go! - [applause]
LIOR: Oh! - [laughter]
Oh! Pow! - [cheering]
Touchdown, baby! Two TDs today. Yes!
You chose the same one. - Yes, I did.
We're gonna do it one more time.
One more time? - One more time?
Okay, we're ready. - Okay, we're ready.
GRONKOWSKI: You want us to turn around? - Okay, we're ready.
[Lior on walkie-talkie] One, two...
three, four. Okay, do it.
All right. - All right.
Oh! Oh! - [applause, cheering]
GRONKOWSKI: [distorted] Yeah!
PENZI: Oh! GOON: Oh!
GRONKOWSKI: Wow! Incredible, incredible!
Just incredible! - [cheering]
Okay, so I think I've got about 50 people here,
and you're noticing something interesting about them?
GRONKOWSKI: Yes. GOON: They're all wearing white.
LIOR: They're all wearing white. They all look the same.
So, you're gonna take the ball, throw it to anyone you want.
It may seem random to you,
but some things are not as random as you think they are.
Look at me. [inhales deeply]
[exhales sharply]
Do it.
Oh, pump fake! He's coming across. - [applause]
Guy at the end, right there.
Oh, what a catch. LIOR: Boom. Excellent!
Second choice.
Back row, with the Afro.
Whoo! LIOR: Okay. Ready?
Lady with the ponytail in the back.
Oh. Whoo! LIOR: Hey!
Completion. LIOR: Come here, come here, come here.
Target right in front of me,
right there with the sunglasses on. Whoo! LIOR: Ah!
PENZI: Oh, yeah!
My man in the front row with the glasses. Right there, baby, right there.
Oh, yeah! - [applause]
There we go.
[applause continues]
All right. So, you randomly selected five people from all those people
that their dream is to throw a ball with you.
But the truth is that maybe I influenced you.
Let me show you what I mean.
I want you to think about a character,
famous character, dead, alive, real, not real
that you would love to throw a football with.
All right. All right. - Your choice.
You got the character? - Yes, I do.
Is it famous? - In a way.
I want you to imagine both of you,
you see the name and visualize it in your mind,
and you start to visualize that thing. Don't say it to me.
You got it? PENZI: Hmm.
You got it? And you got it?
Okay. On the count of three you're gonna shout the character...
GRONKOWSKI: Yes. - ...the imaginary character. You ready?
One, two, three.
PENZI, GOON: T. rex! - T. rex dinosaur!
T. rex? - What the...
What the... [laughs]
T. Rex. [laughs]
GOON: Wait, what?
I can't believe it. - What the heck?
How? - I'll see you later. I gotta go.
But you know what? I just-- - Wow.
Come here. Come here. GRONKOWSKI: Incredible.
You know what's crazier than this?
It says NFL over there, right? NFL? Official?
Yes, it does say that.
It does? - NFL.
What does it say on the other side?
Uh... "Dinosaur."
GOON: Get out of here! Wow! PENZI: Wow. No way!
Has it been saying that the whole time? LIOR: Yes.
Rob! - I don't know what to say. Look at it.
LIOR: Rob! GRONKOWSKI: I'm just speechless.
LIOR: Rob! GOON: That's crazy.
There are 50 people here with white T-shirts.
You randomly selected those five. - No way. All right. Yes.
Whoever was not selected,
which means all of you guys, turn around, please.
It's a T-shirt. You selected random people from 50 people.
Turn around, please.
GRONKOWSKI: No way. PENZI: No way!
GOON: T. rex. PENZI: That is crazy.
Are you kidding me?
T. rex. GOON: I can't-- I can't get over this.
GRONKOWSKI: It's incredible. PENZI: You are amazing.
You are an incredible talent, man. - Thank you very much.
Yes, very nice to meet you. - Thanks a lot. Thanks a lot.
One day you'll take me to a football game and teach me the rules.
Yes. - Yeah.
