Big New York audition.
The buzz around here has been incredible.
I'm expecting that we're gonna see something spectacular.
New York City, bring it on.
We're ready.
And here we go to the auditions.
You know, my reputation's on the line today.

We are an acrobatic dunk team.
The Flight Crew! We combine gymnastic skills and dangerous stunts with high-flying basketball slam dunks.
Whoo! Yeah, baby.
Timing is everything.
We have to rehearse every single bounce, every single glass pass.
If anybody misses, somebody could get injured, or that dunk is gonna miss and the whole show is ruined.
The front of the stage is, like, two more feet, but don't go down there.
We've had people fall off.
You don't have to be a to be on a trampoline dunk team.
That's the advantage of trampolines.
You can get 15, 16 feet in the air.
And we do.
Go get 'em, man.
Hey, boys.
What's the name of your group? We are The Flight Crew! So are these dangerous stunts? Anybody ever been injured? This is incredibly dangerous.
We have had so many injuries.
Broken ankles, broken fingers, hitting our necks on the rim, putting our feet inside the rim.
It's worth the risk, though, 'cause we love what we do.
All right, Flight Crew, give it to us, baby.

Big you are fabulous.

Howie, what do you think? I think what you do is very good.
That being said, it's also I'm looking for originality, and this is something I've seen before, so I don't think they're original, and I don't think they were that slick, so I'm gonna say no.
You know, fellas, look, I too go to basketball games occasionally.
I do see this kind of thing, but I do think you're a step above.
I'll give you another chance.

That made you a little sad when Howard buzzed you, right? Robin, radio is for me.
I made a mistake.
This is not for me.
Oh Holy mackerel.
I think he don't understand that Philly flow.
He don't understand that you was on pocket all the way through.
You got the crowd on their feet.
Everybody was cheering.
So you feel good? Oh, my God, Sharon.
I can't I mean poor kid.
That kid was destroyed.
Oh, my God.
Okay, officially, you do need to vote.
- Is it a yes or no? - It's a yes.
- Is it yes or no? - He's cried once.
Let him now get over this experience.
- It's a no for me.
- And it's a no for me.
Just because we don't want to prolong this.
No, it just breaks your heart.
You don't think I should've gotten up there? No, you should've, absolutely I mean, I felt horrible.
You did good.
The crowd was on their feet.
Mir Money! Commas and zeros! That was horrible, that was my worst nightmare.
A seven-year-old you know, seven years old.
I hit the buzzer on him because I have to be fair to everyone.
I mean, whoever gets up on that stage runs that risk.
I hated that.
I really, truly did.
I turn to mush, I see a kid cry.
Sharon, baby, it's a cold business.
What's the name of the act? - Olate Dogs.
- All right.
And you guys are olate, and they are the dogs.
- Father and son, yeah.
- Father and son.
My dad started when he was 12.
He was from South America.
They're so fluffy.
He got one dog, and that dog got pregnant, got more dogs, and slowly formed his own little dog crew.
And what are they gonna do for us today? Stuff you've never seen before.
You guys aren't nervous, are you? When the dogs get onstage, hopefully they do what we did in practice.
Loca, come here.
Of course, our dogs always do what we say, but Vinnie, hey, come here.
Got my fingers crossed.
Hopefully everything goes well.
Go get 'em.
Oh! Oh! - Hello.
- Hello.
Who are you? The Olate Dogs.
- Wow.
- What kind of dogs are they? These ones are labradoodles.
Wow, and so you do this for a living? Yes.
Show us your wares.
Let's see it.
Okay, thank you.
Yay! Oh, my Oh! Yes! Whoo! Wow.
- That's wrong.
- Aah! I want those dogs! That's a dog act! Aah! That dog jumps rope better than me.
Aww! - Yeah! - Whoa! The dog did a backflip! That's amazing.
Oh, my God.
That's amazing.
- Amazing.
- Amazing.
Your brothers and sisters just killed it.
I've never seen dogs do backflips.
I've never seen anything like this.
This is the most amazing, best animal act I have ever seen in here.
Thank you.
It's this guy right here, man.
Oh, my goodness me, it's the best.
I mean, just amazing.
I don't know how you've trained these dogs.
- It's all him, actually.
- It's your dada? He puts a lot of effort into it, yeah, so Where do you get your dogs from? Rescues? Most of them are rescues, yeah.
- Oh.
- Wow.
- Just amazing, I - thank you very much.
You know, I'm I'm thinking of bringing you guys to my house, my dog does nothing.
- Let's go, man.
- It's unbelievable.
I tell the dog, "come to this room, come to that.
" I'm not asking for much, I'm not asking for backflips.
I just want the dog to follow me, and he won't do it.
I don't let any animal acts through, hardly any, because they've been awful.
I mean, every nudnik who has a pet comes out on my stage.
You guys are probably gonna get to be on my stage - for a very long time.
- Thank you very much.
You bet.
All right, let's vote.
I'd just like to say thank you so much for being on my stage tonight.
It's not your stage.
I would like to say a yes from me.
- Thank you.
- Howie? Welcome to my stage, and if it's up to me, you're going on to my next stage in Vegas.
Which is a yes.
- Two yeses.
- Gentlemen The truth is I'm the judge America listens to.
- Whose stage is this? - Howard's! I am gonna see you in Vegas.
It's a yes for me.
Oh! Oh! Gosh That's why I always say to you don't let just any animal act through.
Howard, not everything's a lesson.
Howie, let me teach.
- You got to - Get off my desk.
I've never, ever seen anything like that in my life.
Welcome back to America's Got Talent, the New York auditions! We got the Empire State of mind, baby.
Welcome to the Big Apple! What a beautiful day for an audition, boys and girls.
If your number is 0 to but wait by the door.
I'll take you downstairs as soon as possible.
I'm Horse, I'm from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
I'm 25 years old, and I think I got a talent that nobody else has.
My talent is so unique, nobody else in the world would even try what I do.
If they don't like it, they don't like it.
I'm here today to shock the shock jock with what I do.
What's your name? Uh, I'm Horse.
Horse.
A man called Horse.
Do you feel confident? Uh, I feel like I have a talent that nobody else in the world has, so yes.
Something we've never seen before.
Correct.
I want it to be known that I got two little beautiful girls at home, and I'm doing this for them.
Good luck.
- Thank you.
- All right.
Oh, my God.
Please do not try this at home.
Oh! Last one.
No! No! Oh! Oh, my nuts.
Oh Oh! At first I said to myself, "aw, the guy's wearing a cup.
" You know, but clearly, you are not wearing a cup.
Cups are for cheaters.
I guess the only thing people would even say about this act, that maybe your friends were taking it easy on you.
Would you think it was weird if I had Nick Cannon come out and just smash you in the nuts? - Yeah.
- Would you be honored? - Yeah.
- Do it properly.
Come out here.
- Oh! - Harder, harder! Harder! Oh, wow, ooh! Yeah! I think I might have busted it never mind.
Horse I heard something pop on that one.
You have come up with an act that I can get behind.
I'm a fan of the Three Stooges.
I'm a fan of Jackass.
I love those guys.
And one thing about the Jackass guys they always leave you laughing.
We were laughing though that whole thing.
- Thank you, thank you.
- Uh, Sharon.
What's the longest time that you have been kicked - in the balls? - Uh, I did 63 in a row - in 20 minutes.
- Wow.
- Hard ones, though.
- Yeah.
- It's absolutely amazing.
- Howie? First of all, you know, I think the question is Yes, he has two little girls at home there is not gonna be a third.
And how did you realize that you can do this? When I was growing up, I'd fight with my little brother, and I was a lot bigger than him, and he kicked me in the nuts, and I realized, you know, it just didn't do anything.
All right, we're gonna vote, and I am proud to say Horse and friends, it's a yes from me.
- Howie? - It's a yes for me.
- Sharon.
- It's a yes from me.
Awesome, thank you.
I crown you the king of the nut-shot.
Whoo! I love it.
- Nick really got him, though.
- He got him good.
He doubled over.
Yeah, he did.
That last kick I gave you? - It was a nice kick.
- Yeah.
We'll be back with more America's Got Talent right after this.
Oh! So far, there's been lots of auditions that have popped for the judges.
I want those dogs! Whoa, the dog did a backflip! This is the most amazing animal act I have ever seen in here.
Thank you.
No! And there are still plenty more to come.
You blew the roof off the place.
Let's get an encore.
There it is.
What key is it on? Your mission from day one is to find a group? Because it did really strike me odd that when I watch the show, there's no bands? Yo, you nervous? Yeah, a little bit, man.
I've been saying so far in every city, "I want a great band.
" Is this a million dollar act? Yes, yes.
Bring it up, bring it up.
It was kind of, like, all out of key, and it was just a bit messy.
It's a no.
- Horrible.
- Horrible.
That was awful.
If we do get buzzed, we're gonna just keep on going, you dig it? It's on.
I can't wait.
I just want to get out there.
I'm just I'm dying to get on that stage.
Oh, God, no.
Let's blow the roof off this place.
I don't know what they're talking about I'm making my own decisions - Did you just what was that? - Did you just hear that? - That was a buzzer.
- No.
That was a buzzer.
Off! Off! Off! Off! You can't be a band with just two.
I don't get it.
- Wow.
- What was it? My name's Wordspit the Illest.
This right here is the Illest.
We're a band from New York City.
The music that we create is called backpack pop-culture arena rap.
It's it's built for your life.
It's an experience, so you got to experience this.
We come from tough streets, tough neighborhoods.
But when we put out that music, all that is pushed to the side.
I've been through this, or I've been through that.
It's hard, and if it wasn't for music, I'd probably be doing something stupid right now.
The chance to actually perform in front of people is the reason I wake up every morning.
I dream big, and this band dreams big.
We're more than just a band, we're like a family.
And I put my heart and my soul into my music because at the end of the day, this is all I have.
All right, well, go get that million dollars.
- Y'all ready? - Yeah, let's do it.
Let's get it.
What's your name? Wordspit, and this is the Illest.
Gentleman on the end, looks like he kidnapped you guys.
Which guy? This guy right here? Who is that? You know what I mean? He's freaking me out, man.
He's freaking me out.
Who is that? That is Mr.
Reed.
Mr.
Reed.
What are you, the math teacher or something? I get it.
All right, guys, good luck, go ahead.
his infatuation started with music real fluent hearing lyrics and rewriting it rewriting it off a tape stop and play till he memorizes it in the mirror spitting it at least 20 times a day audience his toothpaste feeling it like he'd written it but at that age he was fourth-grade literate verbal marionette couldn't string his sentences so his voice, somebody talks like a ventriloquist minor insignificance 15, was articulate 16, he had scripted it school, he had quitted by 17 yeah, 18, he was sick with it hustle this trip a bit 21, reverbing his genesis 22, resented it requiem for a lyricist behind, yeah behind, yeah behind the voice of his pen ad-libbing it live I can feel it coming in the air tonight oh, lord hands up! I've been waiting for this moment for all my life oh, lord I can feel it coming in the air tonight oh, lord oh, lord Uh, guys, you came out here, I didn't know what you were gonna do.
I saw violins, guitars, your math teacher.
I didn't know what was going on.
And lo and behold, you blew the roof off the place.
You were great.
It gives me joy.
And I love this job so much when I can see young talent like this.
It's made my day, and I thank you.
- Thank you.
- Howie? This sounded to me like Jay-Z fused with Pink Floyd.
It was the best of the best mixed together, and they don't sound like they would mix together, but when I heard you, when I heard your voice, sir, when I heard the violin, when I heard it's just, this hodgepodge of confusion came together in one of the most glorious moments we have had this season on America's Got Talent.
Well said.
All right, time to vote.
And, uh, I am honored to be the first one to vote to say I'm looking forward to seeing you in Vegas, and it's a big yes for me, well done.
- Howie? - Well no surprise, it's a yes for me.
And Sharon Osbourne, America's sweetheart.
It makes me tearful, 'cause I loved it, I love these moments.
You are crying now.
I am, and, um it's a yes for me.

Timing is everything.
We have to rehearse every single bounce, every single glass pass.
If anybody misses, somebody could get injured, or that dunk is gonna miss and the whole show is ruined.
The front of the stage is, like, two more feet, but don't go down there.
We've had people fall off.
You don't have to be a to be on a trampoline dunk team.
That's the advantage of trampolines.
You can get 15, 16 feet in the air.
And we do.
Go get 'em, man.
Hey, boys.
What's the name of your group? We are The Flight Crew! So are these dangerous stunts? Anybody ever been injured? This is incredibly dangerous.
We have had so many injuries.
Broken ankles, broken fingers, hitting our necks on the rim, putting our feet inside the rim.
It's worth the risk, though, 'cause we love what we do.
All right, Flight Crew, give it to us, baby.
This is your big million-dollar chance.

You did some pretty amazing things up there.
Mr.
Big you are fabulous.
What a fabulous young man you are.
Howie, what do you think? I think what you do is very good.
That being said, it's also I'm looking for originality, and this is something I've seen before, so I don't think they're original, and I don't think they were that slick, so I'm gonna say no.
You know, fellas, look, I too go to basketball games occasionally.
I do see this kind of thing, but I do think you're a step above.
I'll give you another chance.
I'll give you a yes.

That made you a little sad when Howard buzzed you, right? Robin, radio is for me.
I made a mistake.
This is not for me.
Oh Holy mackerel.
I think he don't understand that Philly flow.
He don't understand that you was on pocket all the way through.
You got the crowd on their feet.
Everybody was cheering.
So you feel good? Oh, my God, Sharon.
I can't I mean poor kid.
That kid was destroyed.
Oh, my God.
Okay, officially, you do need to vote.
- Is it a yes or no? - It's a yes.
- Is it yes or no? - He's cried once.
Let him now get over this experience.
- It's a no for me.
- And it's a no for me.
Just because we don't want to prolong this.
No, it just breaks your heart.
You don't think I should've gotten up there? No, you should've, absolutely I mean, I felt horrible.
You did good.
The crowd was on their feet.
Mir Money! Commas and zeros! That was horrible, that was my worst nightmare.
A seven-year-old you know, seven years old.
I hit the buzzer on him because I have to be fair to everyone.
I mean, whoever gets up on that stage runs that risk.
I hated that.
I really, truly did.
I turn to mush, I see a kid cry.
Sharon, baby, it's a cold business.
What's the name of the act? - Olate Dogs.
- All right.
And you guys are olate, and they are the dogs.
- Father and son, yeah.
- Father and son.
My dad started when he was 12.
He was from South America.
They're so fluffy.
He got one dog, and that dog got pregnant, got more dogs, and slowly formed his own little dog crew.
And what are they gonna do for us today? Stuff you've never seen before.
You guys aren't nervous, are you? When the dogs get onstage, hopefully they do what we did in practice.
Loca, come here.
Of course, our dogs always do what we say, but Vinnie, hey, come here.
Got my fingers crossed.
Hopefully everything goes well.
Go get 'em.
Oh! Oh! - Hello.
- Hello.
Who are you? The Olate Dogs.
- Wow.
- What kind of dogs are they? These ones are labradoodles.
Wow, and so you do this for a living? Yes.
Show us your wares.
Let's see it.
Okay, thank you.
Yay! Oh, my Oh! Yes! Whoo! Wow.
- That's wrong.
- Aah! I want those dogs! That's a dog act! Aah! That dog jumps rope better than me.
Aww! - Yeah! - Whoa! The dog did a backflip! That's amazing.
Oh, my God.
That's amazing.
- Amazing.
- Amazing.
Your brothers and sisters just killed it.
I've never seen dogs do backflips.
I've never seen anything like this.
This is the most amazing, best animal act I have ever seen in here.
Thank you.
It's this guy right here, man.
Oh, my goodness me, it's the best.
I mean, just amazing.
I don't know how you've trained these dogs.
- It's all him, actually.
- It's your dada? He puts a lot of effort into it, yeah, so Where do you get your dogs from? Rescues? Most of them are rescues, yeah.
- Oh.
- Wow.
- Just amazing, I - thank you very much.
You know, I'm I'm thinking of bringing you guys to my house, my dog does nothing.
- Let's go, man.
- It's unbelievable.
I tell the dog, "come to this room, come to that.
" I'm not asking for much, I'm not asking for backflips.
I just want the dog to follow me, and he won't do it.
I don't let any animal acts through, hardly any, because they've been awful.
I mean, every nudnik who has a pet comes out on my stage.
You guys are probably gonna get to be on my stage - for a very long time.
- Thank you very much.
You bet.
All right, let's vote.
I'd just like to say thank you so much for being on my stage tonight.
It's not your stage.
I would like to say a yes from me.
- Thank you.
- Howie? Welcome to my stage, and if it's up to me, you're going on to my next stage in Vegas.
Which is a yes.
- Two yeses.
- Gentlemen The truth is I'm the judge America listens to.
- Whose stage is this? - Howard's! I am gonna see you in Vegas.
It's a yes for me.
Oh! Oh! Gosh That's why I always say to you don't let just any animal act through.
Howard, not everything's a lesson.
Howie, let me teach.
- You got to - Get off my desk.
I've never, ever seen anything like that in my life.
Welcome back to America's Got Talent, the New York auditions! We got the Empire State of mind, baby.
Welcome to the Big Apple! What a beautiful day for an audition, boys and girls.
If your number is 0 to but wait by the door.
I'll take you downstairs as soon as possible.
I'm Horse, I'm from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
I'm 25 years old, and I think I got a talent that nobody else has.
My talent is so unique, nobody else in the world would even try what I do.
If they don't like it, they don't like it.
I'm here today to shock the shock jock with what I do.
What's your name? Uh, I'm Horse.
Horse.
A man called Horse.
Do you feel confident? Uh, I feel like I have a talent that nobody else in the world has, so yes.
Something we've never seen before.
Correct.
I want it to be known that I got two little beautiful girls at home, and I'm doing this for them.
Good luck.
- Thank you.
- All right.
Oh, my God.
Please do not try this at home.
Oh! Last one.
No! No! Oh! Oh, my nuts.
Oh Oh! At first I said to myself, "aw, the guy's wearing a cup.
" You know, but clearly, you are not wearing a cup.
Cups are for cheaters.
I guess the only thing people would even say about this act, that maybe your friends were taking it easy on you.
Would you think it was weird if I had Nick Cannon come out and just smash you in the nuts? - Yeah.
- Would you be honored? - Yeah.
- Do it properly.
Come out here.
- Oh! - Harder, harder! Harder! Oh, wow, ooh! Yeah! I think I might have busted it never mind.
Horse I heard something pop on that one.
You have come up with an act that I can get behind.
I'm a fan of the Three Stooges.
I'm a fan of Jackass.
I love those guys.
And one thing about the Jackass guys they always leave you laughing.
We were laughing though that whole thing.
- Thank you, thank you.
- Uh, Sharon.
What's the longest time that you have been kicked - in the balls? - Uh, I did 63 in a row - in 20 minutes.
- Wow.
- Hard ones, though.
- Yeah.
- It's absolutely amazing.
- Howie? First of all, you know, I think the question is Yes, he has two little girls at home there is not gonna be a third.
And how did you realize that you can do this? When I was growing up, I'd fight with my little brother, and I was a lot bigger than him, and he kicked me in the nuts, and I realized, you know, it just didn't do anything.
All right, we're gonna vote, and I am proud to say Horse and friends, it's a yes from me.
- Howie? - It's a yes for me.
- Sharon.
- It's a yes from me.
Awesome, thank you.
I crown you the king of the nut-shot.
Whoo! I love it.
- Nick really got him, though.
- He got him good.
He doubled over.
Yeah, he did.
That last kick I gave you? - It was a nice kick.
- Yeah.
We'll be back with more America's Got Talent right after this.
Oh! So far, there's been lots of auditions that have popped for the judges.
I want those dogs! Whoa, the dog did a backflip! This is the most amazing animal act I have ever seen in here.
Thank you.
No! And there are still plenty more to come.
You blew the roof off the place.
Let's get an encore.
There it is.
What key is it on? Your mission from day one is to find a group? Because it did really strike me odd that when I watch the show, there's no bands? Yo, you nervous? Yeah, a little bit, man.
I've been saying so far in every city, "I want a great band.
" Is this a million dollar act? Yes, yes.
Bring it up, bring it up.
It was kind of, like, all out of key, and it was just a bit messy.
It's a no.
- Horrible.
- Horrible.
That was awful.
If we do get buzzed, we're gonna just keep on going, you dig it? It's on.
I can't wait.
I just want to get out there.
I'm just I'm dying to get on that stage.
Oh, God, no.
Let's blow the roof off this place.
I don't know what they're talking about I'm making my own decisions - Did you just what was that? - Did you just hear that? - That was a buzzer.
- No.
That was a buzzer.
Off! Off! Off! Off! You can't be a band with just two.
I don't get it.
- Wow.
- What was it? My name's Wordspit the Illest.
This right here is the Illest.
We're a band from New York City.
The music that we create is called backpack pop-culture arena rap.
It's it's built for your life.
It's an experience, so you got to experience this.
We come from tough streets, tough neighborhoods.
But when we put out that music, all that is pushed to the side.
I've been through this, or I've been through that.
It's hard, and if it wasn't for music, I'd probably be doing something stupid right now.
The chance to actually perform in front of people is the reason I wake up every morning.
I dream big, and this band dreams big.
We're more than just a band, we're like a family.
And I put my heart and my soul into my music because at the end of the day, this is all I have.
All right, well, go get that million dollars.
- Y'all ready? - Yeah, let's do it.
Let's get it.
What's your name? Wordspit, and this is the Illest.
Gentleman on the end, looks like he kidnapped you guys.
Which guy? This guy right here? Who is that? You know what I mean? He's freaking me out, man.
He's freaking me out.
Who is that? That is Mr.
Reed.
Mr.
Reed.
What are you, the math teacher or something? I get it.
All right, guys, good luck, go ahead.
his infatuation started with music real fluent hearing lyrics and rewriting it rewriting it off a tape stop and play till he memorizes it in the mirror spitting it at least 20 times a day audience his toothpaste feeling it like he'd written it but at that age he was fourth-grade literate verbal marionette couldn't string his sentences so his voice, somebody talks like a ventriloquist minor insignificance 15, was articulate 16, he had scripted it school, he had quitted by 17 yeah, 18, he was sick with it hustle this trip a bit 21, reverbing his genesis 22, resented it requiem for a lyricist behind, yeah behind, yeah behind the voice of his pen ad-libbing it live I can feel it coming in the air tonight oh, lord hands up! I've been waiting for this moment for all my life oh, lord I can feel it coming in the air tonight oh, lord oh, lord Uh, guys, you came out here, I didn't know what you were gonna do.
I saw violins, guitars, your math teacher.
I didn't know what was going on.
And lo and behold, you blew the roof off the place.
You were great.
It gives me joy.
And I love this job so much when I can see young talent like this.
It's made my day, and I thank you.
- Thank you.
- Howie? This sounded to me like Jay-Z fused with Pink Floyd.
It was the best of the best mixed together, and they don't sound like they would mix together, but when I heard you, when I heard your voice, sir, when I heard the violin, when I heard it's just, this hodgepodge of confusion came together in one of the most glorious moments we have had this season on America's Got Talent.
Well said.
All right, time to vote.
And, uh, I am honored to be the first one to vote to say I'm looking forward to seeing you in Vegas, and it's a big yes for me, well done.
- Howie? - Well no surprise, it's a yes for me.
And Sharon Osbourne, America's sweetheart.
It makes me tearful, 'cause I loved it, I love these moments.
You are crying now.
I am, and, um it's a yes for me.
