Who has the talent to hide their hidden talent?
Let's talk about that.
( music playing )
Good mythical morning.
Today we're going to be guessing
what disgusting airplane behavior
was caught on camera.
Plus, we'll be explaining in depth
how a coffee table can kill you.
But first, we all have a secret hidden talent.
Mine is singing all the words to "Shake It Off" wrong.
Mine is eating a whole pizza, then going to sleep.
And perhaps you can tell those talents just by looking at us,
but is it always so obvious?
We are enlisting the help of Rob Riggle
to see if we can guess the hidden talents of strangers.
It's time for...
Welcome to the Clandestine Talent Annex,
name subject to change,
and please welcome, from the podcast "Riggle's Picks,"
Rob Riggle.
Welcome to the show, Rob.
Thank you. Glad to be here.
What's your hidden talent?
Blaming farts on other people.
Oh, yes, that's special.
Conveniently right here.
( imitates passing gas ) Oh, Link!
What is...
He comes with sound effects, too.
- Oh, terrible. - It wasn't me. It was...
Everybody saw it, right? Everybody heard it.
It was the dog. It was the dog.
All right, here's how this is gonna work.
We're gonna meet five strangers for the very first time,
and they're gonna tell us their names but nothing else,
and then in each round, Stevie will announce a hidden talent,
and then we have to guess which person of the five
is hiding this hidden talent,
and we will indicate our answers
on these white boards.
Now, along the way
we can each pick one panelist
and either ask him or her a question
or give him or her a physical assignment
in order to then
maybe ascertain what their hidden talent is.
We can each do that twice
over the course of the entire game.
And then once we're done,
the real person will reveal themselves
by demonstrating their hidden talent.
- All right. - All right.
When this thing is over,
the person who wins
gets their pick of Riggle's Picks.
Oh, yes, and they are fine picks, my friends.
What do we have?
Well, we have an ice pick, a hair pick, toothpicks,
and, of course, guitar picks.
- Wow. - Electric and acoustic.
I don't think that's how it works, Rob.
Pretty sure.
Let's do it.
Stevie:
Please introduce yourselves.
Hi, I'm J.C.
Aloha, Tyrone.
Hi, I'm Jack.
Hi, I'm Gabriel.
Hi, I'm Nakia.
One of these people can do vertical pushups.
Which one is it?
So that's when you stand on your head and do a push up?
Yeah.
When you stand on your hands and do a pushup.
Yeah, yeah, right. Yeah, yeah. Vertical.
- Like this. Like a handstand? - Yes.
I mean, this is technically a vertical pushup.
It's also a raise the roof, but it's also--
Vertical pushup. You've heard that in the rap songs.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, I'm gonna ask a question.
- Fire away. - Go for it.
- Jack. - Hi.
I'd like to ask you,
what you got in your pockets?
- Uh, I got-- - Got any loose change in there?
No, I got my keys and my Chapstick. That's it.
I know where you're going with that, and I like it.
Can you prove it?
Link: Let me see those keys.
Oh, there-- Oh, we got some lip balm.
Anybody who's upside down doing pushups
doesn't probably load up their pockets. Am I right?
Not a lot in there. There's no loose change.
No loose change. That's the key.
- Nobody puts change in their pockets anymore, guys. - Pretty tight pockets.
When was the last time you had just, like, a quarter in your pocket?
- I can't even-- - Cannot remember. Right.
But the key and the Chapstick, though.
That would be a problem. That could go right in your mouth.
Yep. Take an eye out.
Okay. That helped me.
I've got my guess.
All right.
Okay.
I've got mine.
Stevie:
I think Gabriel can do a vertical pushup.
-
I still think Jack is the man.
- Link: You think it's Jack? - I think it's Jack.
-
I can see the veins bulging out
of, like that spot on the backside of his elbow.
I'm glad you specified where you saw the veins.
Will the real person who can do this hidden talent
please step forward and demonstrate it?
Yeah!
That's right. All right, good, man.
Wow, he doesn't even need a wall.
Do you need a spotter? Oh, my goodness.
Oh, goodness gracious.
What?
- Whoa. - Two, three...
- four, five... - That's sick.
...six, seven...
Don't kill yourself.
- Dang, man. - Is this a personal best?
Whoa, he did ten.
Rob: Well done, sir. Well done.
That is the most talent that has ever been demonstrated
on this set.
Will our new person please introduce herself?
Hi, I'm Hayley.
- Hello, Hayley. - Hello, Hayley.
Which one of these people
can spin a pillow on their finger?
What?
This is a special talent?
We're talking pillow spinnin'.
Yeah, it's a thing. It's a thing.
Maybe it's more impressive than I'm picturing.
Okay.
Um, should I ask?
- Go for it. - Rhett: Go for it, Rob.
- Hello, Hayley. - Hello.
You think she can spin a pillow.
- Are you a carny? - No.
Okay, thank you very much.
Have you ev--
have you ever thought about it?
Now he's taking notes.
All she said was she's not a carny.
You didn't even write anything.
Okay, whose hands have spun pillows?
Rob: Yeah.
Rhett: Okay, I got a guess.
You got a guess? I got a guess.
Okay.
Okay, Rob, let's see your guess.
Rhett: J.C.
What are you thinking about?
I'm trying to figure out if J.C. means Jesus Christ.
( laughter )
That's gonna have to be your second question.
We'll get there. We'll get there.
All things will be revealed.
-
He's got a pillow-spinnin' face.
Total compliment, Jack. Total compliment.
Then Rhett?
I said Nakia
because when I began to poke fun at pillow spinning,
- she seemed offended. -
will the real pillow spinner please step forward?
Yeah! It's in the face.
I don't know. It's just-- he was happy.
Do it, man. You can do it with any pillow?
You didn't bring your own pillow?
He just grabbed a random pillow.
- Rob: There it is. - Link: Oh, yeah--
Oh! Oh!
- ( together ) Oh! - Link: What?
- Okay. - ( screams )
I take it all back.
- That was-- - Witch! Witch! Witch!
Will our new, possibly talented friend please introduce herself?
Hi, I'm Krystal.
- Hi, Krystal. - Hello, Krystal.
In this round you're looking for the person
who can put their head
on their own butt.
I'm sorry?
Uh, I'll ask a question here.
Nakia, if you were to run out of toilet paper,
would you use the back of your head?
- No. - Man, what a waste.
But would you be able to?
- No. -
( laughs ) Hey, quit policing me.
What part of the body needs to hinge the most
in order to get...
You have to... That's just k--
You think it's that way. I think it's this way.
- I think it's this-- - I think it's--
Lay her head-- or his head.
I think it's hand stand
and the the legs come over the top.
Oh, that's exactly what it is.
- Yeah. - Yep, you nailed it.
And therefore I know the answer.
Okay.
Okay, Link, let's see it.
Write down your answer, man.
I am saying with complete confidence, Krystal?
- Okay, Rhett? - Nakia.
Oh, yeah, it's Nakia.
Oh, you guys are in agreement, huh?
- We're not even... - In cahoots over there.
Well, let's see somebody
touch their head to their butt.
Will the real person step forward
and demonstrate their talent?
- Yeah! - Yeah!
- I'm on the board! - Yeah.
All right, now, what do we need to do to get ready?
Just watch. Be amazed.
Yeah, I think we just take it in, Link.
Okay?
Oh... oh, my goodness.
That's amazing.
Oh.
- Are you okay? - I'm great.
I hate to do this again, but witch!
Will our new person please introduce himself?
- I'm Danny. - Danny.
Which one of the people in front of you
can make a small cat disappear?
A small cat.
Small cat?
Not a big cat.
Is a small cat the same thing as a kitten?
No.
Oh, okay, so a pygmy cat.
Okay, Danny,
would you please name three magicians
besides David Blaine and David Copperfield?
- Uh, f... - Yep.
Great question, Link.
Doug Henning. Um...
- Who? - Oh, I know Doug. Doug Henning.
Everything's magical.
Blackstone.
And Lennart Green.
Did you make that name up?
No.
Never heard of Lennart Green.
...Green, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But that's not a well known magician.
- No, it's not. - He produced it.
It took a second, but he knew some magicians I did not.
'Cause I would've said Criss Angel, Penn & Teller,
as all three.
That's what I would've done. You know?
Because I got nothing after that.
Danny look into cats, though?
He looks like a guy who makes cats go away.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, right.
Okay, I got my answer.
Okay, Rhett, who can make that small cat disappear?
The deep cut from Danny.
That's what pushed me over the edge. Danny.
Young man his age shouldn't know Doug Henning's name,
and yet he does.
( chuckles ) Yeah.
And I agree.
Just look at those tassels hanging from his shirt.
That's magician territory.
He's got a cat in there.
He's got a cat behind him right now.
We all agree,
so, Danny, let's see that magic.
Yeah!
That's a tiny kitty.
Oh, that is a little cat.
Yeah, very, very small.
Tiny kitty.
You know, now I remember.
I've seen that one place before.
Lennart Green.
And for this, the final round,
we have two new people joining us.
Will you gentlemen please introduce yourselves?
Hi, I'm Chris.
Well, it says Christopher on your...
I go by Chris, but you can call me Christopher if you like.
- Okay. - You go by Chris, but you write Christopher.
- Yeah. - The deception's already begun.
I like his style.
- I'm Daniel. - Hi, Daniel.
- Hi there. - Great nametag work there.
Yeah it was kind of easy, but...
Which one of these people can swallow a sword?
- Whoa. - Yes.
Link: That's a hard talent to hide, you know?
Once you start swallowing a sword,
people tend to notice.
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm out of questions. You both have one.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I got a question.
Daniel, tell me how much you like the taste of metal
even if you don't.
I don't really know.
Maybe I've never tried any metal.
You learn anything?
I went this way and that way.
Um, all right-- can I ask a question?
Yes, please do.
Chris...topher,
which is mightier, the pen or the sword?
Oh, no.
I'm gonna go with my gut and say the pen.
Your gut, huh?
( laughter )
Yeah!
You got me.
- All right. - Man.
Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Okay. Got it.
Okay, Rob, let's see your answer.
Well, it was down to two, but I had to choose,
and I went with my gut. What?
-
And Rhett?
Wild card, Hayley.
All right, will the real sword swallower please step forward?
- Oh! - Oh, no!
I had it narrowed down to those two.
I thought it was one of the ladies. Dang it.
Link: Krystal, are you gonna swallow that sword?
Rob: Focus. Do what you gotta do.
Oh, she gotta lube it up.
Rob: Good Lord.
Oh!
Get that sword on the table.
( tings )
Yeah, that's a real sword.
It's real saliva, too.
Yep, okay.
Okay, well, it looks like Link--
Krystal with a K!
Hiding the sword.
Well done. Well done.
Link, we tied. That means--
- We each get to pick. - Rob, we get the picks.
Oh, hey, good deal. And there's a lot of them--
( screams )
He was a witch!
Witch!
That's where the cat-- He had a cat.
Hold on. He didn't even move.
Oh, my gosh.
I'm gonna take this.
I'm gonna take one of these electric guitar picks.
You know how I roll.
All right, thanks again to Rob Riggle.
