We're about to make this amazing check presentation to St. Joseph's Hospital Foundation and I'm not supposed to technically disclose where we are right now....should we tell them Nick? Jeff Thomas: I have a drum roll. Nick: Are you sure you want to tell them? MJ: Ah Man, what do you think? Nick: I don't know, I'm kind a contemplating right now. MJ: Oh man....there's a lot of cars around us...a lot of FORD cars around us. Nick: Oh no MJ: Did I just give it away? Brandon and FORD. Brandon FORD? (laughs) Nick: That's it.

Could you believe the amount of money raised? Nick: I can't believe it. I'm- I'm still shocked. MJ: How about the items? Now the most amazing thing is is that the backstage passes to your concert last night at Tropicana Field went for $12,500. Nick: That was amazing..I mean I....it's just that I think it's just that they realized it was a good thing and it was for charity, especially for something for Tampa. You know? I'm willing to do anything for Tampa and I think all the other people in Tampa are willing to do anything they can to help people. MJ: So the backstage passes went for $12,500. You had a personal Blues jersey. That went for $851. Nick: (gasps) Oh my God! (laughs) MJ: Tell me, tell me, tell me about the pillowcases. Now where--now did you actually sleep on these pillowcases? Nick: I think- weren't they 93.3 pillowcases? 93.3 pillowcases? Yeah, I didn't sleep, I didn't actually sleep on them. I don't know what they said to- to sell them or what happened but nah... MJ: You signed them so now your fans can sleep on the pillowcases. Nick: Yup MJ: There you go. We also gave away some boxer shorts, uh with the auction. We also had a bunch of autographed cds which went for amazing prices. Total....$13,703.62. Nick Carter from the BSB. Let's make the presentation right now to the folks from St. Joseph's Hospital. Nick: Let's do it MJ: Now let's go. This is pretty easy. Michael...Michael's with us.
