“Okay, and I said, Tony, I just want to thank you for all your years of encouragement. You were hard on me. You were divisive at times. But people respect you because you knew the real work and you could do the real work. And because you pushed me hard, you've made me better. And I wanted to thank you for that. And he goes, why thank you, Richard.”

“In 2001, I just finished my show at the castle, and there's Tony. And he and I battled each other for twenty years, twenty-five years. And they said, Richard, Tony's here to see you. And there's what's called the Vernon Seeds, where Vernon had one core, and that's where Tony was seated because Vernon had passed away nine years, ten years before. And they had one seat across waiting for me to sit down. All these top card guys were sitting there waiting. They won another battle between Giorgio Antonio, Giorgio Onturno, Giorgio Onturna. They always have these showdowns, like gunfighters. And so I didn't want to have any part of it. And I said, no, I'll just stand there.

Tony was mean and hard on me, but I have to credit at least half of my accomplishments to him being my antagonist. And I thought.”

“And if you watch on the show, and I'm told this afterwards, he was staring, staring at what I'm doing, and he's trying to signal, bring down the trophy now. And over the headpiece, they're being told, don't bring down the trophy. We want me to do his entire act. And then beforehand, they said, Richie, you got to tell us how you do this so we can make a judgment. This is their judges, Johnny Thompson and Michael Close. I said, well, you know, Vernon and I are the only ones that really know this stuff. We know that we got to make some judgment. I said, okay, watch. I showed him in slow motion. What I was doing, I showed him. They go, my God, it really is impossible. And so then what Pen hails over his head, this is what I was told, is he stood up. They were supposed to, I was supposed to have a six-minute interview with Allison while they discussed how to do it. And then, of course, they had it down to one minute broadcast. And they go, they said over the head, don't ask us. We don't know how Allie did it. And so then Penn turns around and says,”

“Penn and Teller? Lincoln Andrew said, You'll come back from a fourth season. Don't worry about it right now. Take care of your thumb. It literally took to the day before my thumbnail came back because they didn't know if it was going to take or I'll go out another one or I was going to end up with no thumbnail at all. Unfortunately, I grew out a new one and it was literally Friday before that my manicures finally got the last part of the wiggly waggly looking thumbnail to be matched up. And I went on and I started filming on the following Monday. So it took almost a year to the day. And so I got on the show and had a blast. And I fooled him faster than anybody in the history of their show. And it was really fun. And Penn and Teller are just amazing performers. They are just top notch. And Teller is so funny. And people don't realize.”

“Feature and crust dealing thumb. One is the short version, one is longer. It's on YouTube Crush Dealing Thumb is what you'd look it up. But after one, it's graphic because he takes a spoon and pops my thumb open like a hood of a car. Then he takes it, he cuts it open, and he's squeezing the button. We're talking the whole time back and forth, and I'm shuffling cards and they go back and forth, shuffle in the thumb, and we're talking about all this. And I said, man, this is so cool. And he goes, why don't people want to do this? He says, they go schizoid. People go schizophrenic when they see go through something like this.

“And tell her and about whatever they were going to ask them only to find out that I just got crushed and instead they're filming me showing my thumb that's every shade of black and blue, but the color is supposed to be. Anyway, so I ended up in surgery and I thought, okay, if this is the end of my life, I don't want to be, I told the surgeon, do not, I don't want to be out. I want to be, I want fully conscious. I've went through multiple surgeries and I'll just shuffle the cards with my other hand while you work on this one. And that'll be my anesthetic. And so he thought, I was nuts. And you can watch it. And I said, I want to film it too. So if this is into my career, I want footage. And so they said, okay, well, you just put our anesthesiologist out of business. He can film it. And you can go on YouTube. It's crush dealing.”

“Oh my gosh, my thumb was as big as my big toe. I go, I ran upstairs, grabbed my cards, and went, oh my gosh, I can't feel it. So I called the producers Lincoln and Andrew. They were the executive producers of the show. I said, Mike, I had a little trouble. A bench crushed my thumb. I think I could do the first and third part of what we rehearsed, but I don't think I'd do the second. He said, get down here. He says, you're going to the emergency room. And they sent me to the emergency room and they got in there. And first thing they did is they poked a hole in it. They said a fountain of blood shot out. I ended up having to go into surgery. And because I thought this may be the end of my career. And Luke and the boys were flying in to get some footage with Ben and Teller for Delt. And they were in air when this happened. So they land thinking they're coming in to film pen.”

And then I find out the 6-7-J4 and they were the match.

I took a shot here, roundhouse kick here, and at first I did surgery and finally had to be replaced in just, you know, millions of kicks just finally did them in. I've had five hernia surgeries. I've had, I did a backflip off my front porch, landed on my fifth disc on my back, on the brick, drove it out my belly button. I've had three back surgeries. And then fortunately, that's so complicated. Doctors, it's just, they have a hard time with backs.”

And I never have many times I didn't know if the cameras were on or off. And he would say, well, let's chill, which I found out his word for relaxing. And chill, I don't want to chill. What is this chill? Not fun. And I said, relaxing for me, relaxing is not fun. Relaxing is like when I was a kid and I was being punished by my parents as a pleasure, I'd have to stand in the quarter for an hour and just stare at the corner. To me, chilling is not fun. Chilling, relaxing is not fun. To me, relaxing is adventure. I would tell people and I would tell Luke, I'd say, don't worry about the end result. When the film is done, it's going to be a piece.

So there are some times that it will be a bit on the distracting side.”
