You look sharp, man.
It's good to meet you.
How are you?
I'm good.
The last time you were here, I heard Ellen gave you a gift.
She gave you a really expensive element.
Is that right?
Yeah.
What was that?
It was platinum.
She gave you solid platinum?
Yeah.
Yeah, it was about this big.
If you haven't watched the previous time I was on, then
this is what it looked.
Then it looked like--
then it was a size about this.
What do you suppose something like that is worth?
Oh, last time I--
well, when I-- it said $1,800, but I've had it for a year now,
so it probably got more valuable.
So valuable things.
You keep them in a safe place, I hope.
Yeah.
Where do you keep them?
I keep them in a safe.
In a safe.
It's under one of the laundry bins in my room, and the key--
[LAUGHTER]
And the key is under this mug of markers I have.
OK.
Where's the mug of markers in reference to the-- if I were
to go find the--
It's on my shelf.
Up high.
So I would have to look up high.
Yeah.
OK.
And then if I were to find the safe,
would I want to get in there, or what have you done?
I heard you put something on the safe
to keep people from opening it.
Is that true?
Yes.
I put on a label that said even more cheap crap.
[LAUGHTER]
So we know what's inside.
And it said "maggot cheese inside."
Well, who wants that, right?
So even if I do find the key and I do know where your safe is,
I'm not going to want to go in there anyway.
Yeah.
No platinum in there.
Yeah.
I figured that I should repel thieves--
OK.
--or at least make them think twice.
That's right.
I want to take that note.
So are you still interested in the periodic table?
I mean, I'm partly over it, but I still remember it.
OK.
I have pretty good short-term memory,
but excellent long-term memory, and I might keep it
for 10 more years.
Is it possible for me to quiz you on it
to see how much you remember?
Is that cool?
Yeah.
OK.
Because I got my own right here.
If I gave you a number, would you
be able to tell me what the element was?
Yeah.
All right.
How about 20?
Oh, that would be calcium.
48?
Cadmium.
Wow.
And what exactly is the--
what are the letters?
What do you call them?
What do you call--
The atomic symbol.
What's the atomic symbol?
For which one?
For 48, cadmium.
Cadmium.
Cadmium, sorry.
How do you spell cadmium?
C-A-D-M-I-U-M.
Wow.
Amazing.
And what is the usage--
[APPLAUSE]
What is the usage for that particular element?
I'm not even sure I've ever heard of it.
It's pretty toxic, so it doesn't have much.
And it's probably-- it's primary use would be NiCd batteries.
Oh, I know what that is.
How did you get so interested in this, by the way?
Are you just-- you're fascinating to me.
What made you look at this and be
like, I got to learn everything there is to know about this?
Because I would like to have that brain.
I used to be interested in math.
Not anymore, though?
You'll just use that later too?
I'm very good at math, actually, and I'm still
pretty interested in it.
OK.
All right.
And then I learned that chemistry
had a lot of math, so--
OK.
Let's do one more.
Number 9.
Number 9 is fluorine.
Its symbol is F, and it's used in your everyday toothpaste.
[LAUGHTER]
All right.
That's great.
But you have other interests, right?
Yeah.
Isn't that right?
I heard something about--
you created your own board game.
Is that true?
Yeah.
It's a possible casino game.
Really?
Yeah.
That's amazing.
And you've been you're interested in anagrams,
is that right?
Yes.
And what is that?
What is an anagram?
Explain that.
An anagram is when--
a word that can make another word--
Got it-- from the same letters.
--when you change the position of the letters.
So in other words, words you can make by using the same letters.
So if I gave you a few, you'd be able to do it, you think?
Yeah.
OK.
I got a few for you.
How about the word listen?
Silent.
OK.
Is that in order, or is that--
How about fried?
Fired.
Wow.
This is incredible.
We want to help you build your board game collection here--
Yeah.
--so we brought something out for you.
OK.
Ready for this?
Yeah.
All right.
Let's do it.
Come on.
See what we got.
[APPLAUSE]
This is for you.
This is cool.
What do you think?
[APPLAUSE]
Yeah.
[CHEERING]
Yay!
What do you think?
Good.
Good stuff?
Yeah.
All right.
Which one is your favorite over there, you think?
Scrabble.
There we go.
All right.
Well, here we go.
We got a happy kid.
We'll be right back.
OK.
