MEET OUR "LATE, LATE SHOW" STAFFERS.
HI, EVERYBODY.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
>> HI JAMES.
>> James: NOW BEANIE, EACH STAFFER HERE IS HOLDING A
MUSICAL INSTRUMENT.
HOWEVER THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART, ONLY THREE OF THEM CAN
ACTUALLY PLAY THE INSTRUMENT THEY ARE HOLDING.
YOUR TASK IS TO IDENTIFY WHICH THREE CAN PLAY, OKAY.
NOW YOU CAN ASK SOME QUESTIONS TO FIND OUT FROM EVERYBODY.
AND BEFORE WE START, I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS, TOM, I DON'T KNOW
HOW YOU ARE MANAGING TO DO THIS, BUT YOU, I SEE YOU ON A ZOOM
CALL EVERY DAY.
AND YOU ARE GETTING BETTER LOOKING WITH EVERY PASSING DAY
AND NOW THE ADDITION OF A GUITAR HAS TAKEN YOU TO QUITE THE HUNK.

THAT IS THE KEY.
YOU GET IT.
I WATCH YOU EVERY DAY.
I HAVE BEEN TAKING NOTES.

WHERE DOES THAT LIKE PUT HIM ON HIS HOT SCALE.
>> James: IN A REGULAR DAY'S WORK, TOM IS LIKE, I AM GOING TO
SAY TOM IS LIKE-- TOM SAY 6.5.
IN LOCKDOWN HE'S JUMPED TO A 7.5.
AND NOW WITH A GUITAR HE'S JUST A SOLID 9.
LIKE IF YOU AND YOUR GIRLFRIEND EVER BREAK UP, TOM, THIS SHOULD
BE YOUR TINDER PROFILE SHOT, I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW.
