What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorJohn Mayer has added more Las Vegas Sphere dates, bringing the total to twenty-one shows next spring, and I have a source on the line who says he knows how.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHe is speaking anonymously from a parking garage. Sir, are you safe?
Ignatius BooneDefine safe. I'm on level three, the lights flicker, and I can't say how I know any of this. I read it online.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe dates were announced publicly, with a link to buy tickets. Why are you hiding?
Ignatius BooneBecause once you've seen the dates, they know you've seen them. I'm holding my parking ticket as proof of clearance.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorClearance from whom?
Ignatius BooneThe garage. The booth guy. I can't say how I know, but he nodded when I said Gravity.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have been asked to leave three embassies for asking fewer questions than this. Did anyone tell you the show count?
Ignatius BooneTwenty-one. I counted. Twice. I can't say how I know, it was in a banner ad with a button that said get tickets.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA banner ad.
Ignatius BooneA very discreet one. Please don't tell anyone I have two tabs open.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorStill ahead: what if you could switch your algorithm off, and who would be most scared? Now, for the record, your name?
Ignatius BooneSection one-twelve, row F, two seats together. I mean, no comment.
