0:00Hey, it's Matt Shicker, we're the epicenter of Toronto, the epicenter of Canada, young and Dundas Square. We have 10 tickets to Rihanna's sold out, I guess. Extremely impossible to get into show as we learn less like Mexican City, or 777 tour. What we're going to do is I have my ukulele in my hand. I'm either going to, oh my God. So we got some, okay, that worked really well. What's your name? John. John, thank you for your time. I'm Nate. I'm Matt. So you're here for what reason? Umbrella. Umbrella. I think that means Rihanna's weird. So there's two up. I believe everybody, ukulele, Rihanna's on the other side. I guess in four, Rihanna's on her 777 tour, you can guess what number I have had to put my arm in. Okay. What do you think the number is? Should we give it to him? He said, 777. The number I have is just the 7.
0:53So I think we'll do it anyway though. Give it so good. Congratulations. Thank you for your honor. That was amazing. We already get, I couldn't even finish my speech. So what I was going to say was I have the ukulele or you can guess the number tattooed on your arm, but you already learned that. So it looks like someone's already running up again. What's your name? Hi, I'm Salema. Are you from Toronto? Yes, I am. And why are you running up to me? Because I think you have Rihanna tickets for me. I just might. What do you want to do? So we have the ukulele or you can guess what number I have tattooed on my arm. I'll guess the number. What do you think the number is? I think it's a 7. She's correct! Yes, thank you! So go see Heather and Bryn and you got yourself two tickets. Actually before I let you do that, what song are you most excited to hear tonight? Today. Oh, I want to hear her new one, Diamond.
1:39Can you sing her hum a little bit for us? No, no, no, no. Do you want these tickets? You're going to sing her humbles. You and I will like Diamond in the sky. You were awesome, thank you. Come here. Is there any more? Look at that. You get that? Is there any more? Alright, look at this. This is working on so much. Alright, dude. So here's how this works. So you're here for what reason? You want to go see Rihanna? Yes. Do you? Who do you want to take to this Rihanna ship? All my girlfriend. What song is she going to be most excited to hear? Diamond. Diamond. Diamond. That's what we were just singing. I love it. So you have two options. You can either guess the Rihanna tune on the ukulele or you can guess what number I have tattooed on my arm considering she's on her. 777 World Tour. What are you tattooing the arm? The tattoo and the arm. Hang on a second here. Let me wiggle off my jacket and the freezing cold downtown Toronto.
2:27What number do you think it is? 7. Oh wait? Yes! Alright. Oh, alright. There it is. There it is. I love this guy. What's your name, man? Hostway. Hostway. Two pairs of tickets left to give away. I think what I'm going to do is go to the Danford music called Little Early and try and give a pair of tickets away at the venue because people in Mexico City last night were begging and screaming for tickets and I'd like to make someone stay come true. Just when they think last second they're not going to get in, we're going to help them out because that's what we do here in Mexico. We help people out and make their dreams come true. What we do. But my dreams still is yet to come true. I really want to play ukulele for someone ever who gets guessing my tattoo which is fine. Like showing up biceps and all. But this would be fun. So pair of tickets, young enough to wear. Please let me play ukulele for you. What's your name? Carlos, nice to meet you. How are you doing? So I guess you're here for ukulele for something. Everyone always wants something from me.
3:18You know when we just come to see me just to say hi. Yeah, who's that I kind of help love you? Yeah, I love that you're going to be honest. Sorry. Take it. But I think you're here for something a little bit other than my name. Yeah, super bad Rihanna. Rihanna's love. I wish I could have two sometimes. You want Rihanna's love. Maybe I could help you over that in the sense that I would like to go to the show tonight. It's pretty good. Yeah, I know. That's where it's running around. I was trying to figure out where. And I was following your tweets. And I was like, who's the girl with the blue lady? It was like, you wouldn't have helped with the little bit. You know, it was a big figure. Well, so ukulele, ukulele is kind of big? It would be a tart. I can't bring guitar and airplane as a problem. So here's your deal. So I got the ukulele. I've also got a number tattoo to my arm. You have the choice.
4:04Either guess the Rihanna song on the ukulele or guess the number for her 777 tour that I may have tattooed over my arm. What do you want to do? I go to the song. The song? All right. Can you hold the mic in front of the ukulele? Yeah, man. Congrats. Yes, it works, finally! Wooo! The stirvia is correct. How bad was that? You can be honest with it. Pretty bad with it. Yeah, there it is. It took you time. It took you time. It took time to get there, right? All right, cool man. What are you going to see at Rihanna tonight, the day for the musical?
4:50No. Yeah. Shock. Shock is what I'm seeing here on the ukulele. We're at the Danforth musical in Toronto. Rihanna's in town tonight. You guys excited for Rihanna? We're at this young lady, uh, shooting at me. I want tickets. I want tickets. I want tickets. It's your name? Rheem? It's supposed to Rihanna. Rheem on? So I've got one ticket left to give away to the show tonight here that sold out for the song. It's extremely impossible to get into Danforth's musical. I've got a skill test for me if I support you. She played two songs on Saturday Night Live last night. One was Diamonds, and she also gave me the brand new song, what is that song called? Correct! You're going to the end! Stop! She won! Here you go! She's going to the end of the night.
5:36She's going to get her poster. I'm going to get her poster. I'm going to get her poster. That's a sweetie. That's a sweetie.
