The Foretelling
We watch "America's Got Talent." I offer no excuses. We do, however, skip all the personal interest fluff and just watch the performances.There's something in AGT called "The Golden Buzzer", and it lets a contestant skip rounds and qualify for the live show. In show terms, it's a huge deal.
The golden buzzer never gets pressed more than once an episode, and they always show it last.
There are a few prototypes that generally get the golden buzzer. We like to speculate.
"Guy in his late twenties, with a beard, singer," Eli 16.10 said.
"Singer, thirteen-year-old girl," I said.
The contestant emerges. She's tall, but young.
"Oh, no," Eli said.
"How old are you?" a judge asked.
"Here it comes," I said.
"I'm thir--"
"HOW DO YOU DO THAT?" Eli shouted, and then he burst out laughing and couldn't stop. Then I started laughing so hard I was crying, and I couldn't stop, either.
