"At some point after he bought the radio, Mezrich decided it possessed the genielike ability to grant him three wishes, so long as he kissed it when the lights were turned off and 'The Crystal Ship' was playing."
"The first thing he wished for was to meet his future wife: 'I asked the radio for Tonya. I just described her exactly. Well, not exactly, but, like, I wished for a beautiful, model-y, smart girl.'"
"Mezrich wanted a movie studio to greenlight an adaptation of one of his books, didn't matter which, into a feature film. And not a TV movie, which he'd already gotten.”
"His book Bringing Down the House, about a card-counting MIT blackjack team, to become a New York Times bestseller was a pivotal desire he asked the radio to fulfill."
