Guys: Episode 88 - Psychic Guys with Kath Barbadaro

Welcome to guys,

a podcast about guys.

I'm Brian, and you already know why I'm here because it's Psychic Guys.

Hi, Chris.

How are you?

I knew you were going to be late before you were even late.

chris Chris, i told you a lot lately

well you don't need to tell people that almost every record and it's not i just want to be clear

yeah it's like today i was two minutes late and i still showed up before the guest and i'm not trying to throw her under the bus at all and now i realize that i've done that now this is

but i

a couple of a couple of times only i have been a few minutes late and i don't talk about it that much but i have a new i have a newborn child.

It does, I'm sorry, I try to get here, but sometimes my life is very fucking busy right now.

Here's a text he sent me that says, I just use my baby as a way to get out of trouble and stuff like that.

Well, I did say that to you, but that's a

situation.

And that seems really unfair what you're doing right now because you know that it is very, you've had, you had, you have a child.

You know.

Yeah, it's no problem.

She doesn't bother me at all.

Well, she's 20 years old.

She doesn't even live there anymore.

We got to get our guests on here.

I haven't had her on yet, which is crazy.

Kath Barbadaro.

Hey, Kath.

Hi.

I'm so happy to be on.

And wow, that was a real roller coaster of emotions for me just a minute ago, because I was about to call Chris a fucking coward for throwing me under the bus.

Just real spineless shit.

But you can't say that to a new father.

That's yeah, that's what they all say that.

That's they all, they have a kid, then they run around saying they can't do anything.

Yeah, I really don't,

even the childless post-menopausal cat lady guest was late.

No kids.

What's her excuse?

I didn't even know that.

I promise you that as soon as I said it, I was like, oh, no, that's not fair.

I was only trying to say that it wasn't an issue that I was late.

It was not a problem.

It was not a problem.

But, you know, like I said, I have never been late because of my daughter, but

you know, I mean, do we want to get into some of the, I I mean, I think one time you were late because you were taking a shit that was too big.

I mean,

true.

That's, you know, you're lying about that.

Number one.

And number two,

I was late one time.

My daughter had a seizure and I had to go to the emergency room with her.

Oh, yeah.

What the hell is that all about?

Can you imagine?

Podcast over.

Yeah.

So we are talking about psychics, something that I'm not familiar with.

Chris, do you, do you like psychics?

Do you believe in that crap?

That horse shit?

Okay.

No, I don't.

Personally,

no, I don't.

I think that I actually don't like those people.

The people who are doing it and monetizing it, I have a really big problem with.

I think it's really fiendish behavior.

The people who are like, I can talk to your dead relatives or whatever.

I don't know if that's the same type of people we're talking about.

Okay.

Yeah.

Those to me are like the scum of the earth.

They're just absolutely the worst fucking people trying to capitalize off of people's desperation.

And yeah, so I hate their guts.

We've been on a monster run lately, not all in a row, because there have been some goofs over the past few weeks too, but we did real estate guys.

And I was like, listen to me.

Nobody's more evil than an Airbnb.

owner in the world.

They're the most evil people on the planet.

I've been telling other people that I think I went on another podcast and said it recently.

It's like, do you guys know how bad Airbnb hosts are?

Like, you know how much they hate you?

Oh my God.

They hate you so much.

Like not, they're like ruining a neighborhood for people that they fucking hate.

There's no,

yeah.

And they're very mad that they can't film you all the time.

Yeah.

And that you.

Ask a single anything you could ask them.

It's like, oh, come on.

Yeah.

is there things to do around your neighborhood for my kid?

Hey, you didn't pay for that.

You paid for a house.

Okay.

I'm staying in an Airbnb like next month.

And like, it, yeah, I booked it before

the episode.

And then my eyes are open.

But as I've said, too, you can't get an Airbnb around the national or you can't get a hotel around national parks.

There's just no hotels around.

So I just want to clarify that I, I don't know where I read it, but I guess some people maybe in the Discord, looked it up and there

definitely is a hotel that you can get in the area.

They figured that out pretty quickly.

It's hard though, like depending on the situation, because

depending on where I'm going, I hate having to rent a car if I go somewhere on vacation or like to do a show or something.

And sometimes if you

like...

In order to not rent a car, sometimes you can't stay in a hotel because all the hotels are like outside the city in a strip mall or something or like by the airport.

And sometimes I got to suck it up and do Airbnb in that situation.

And listen, I'm not staying in some sub-four-star hotel.

And that's all that's around the national parks.

I look, there are no.

How are you going to get your fan, your electric fan that you need?

I'm already planning to buy two fans on this trip.

I've budgeted $40 to buy a fan when I get to Vancouver.

And then

when I jump on the Amtrak and go to

Seattle, I'm gonna grab a fan there, too.

And it's just on a borrow, you don't want to borrow, you can borrow a fan from

the right kind of fan.

How do you know?

You gotta, I'm psychic,

gotcha.

Motherfucker just remembered what the episode was.

You have a Lasco Box fan?

No, I don't.

You're right.

You have a porch

piece of crap.

So I was looking at our psychic a lot of the time, and Pimp Forrest

is asking a question that I found very interesting.

He goes, accurate reader, but talks to demons.

That's a real trade-off.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't have any context.

What does this, any of this mean?

Pimp Forrest has a reader that is great.

Oh, a reader.

Okay, like a psychic person is a reader.

Yeah, that's maybe that's like the more respectful term that they provide.

That's like the interm or whatever that they use to sort of show that they know what's up.

It's important to have those, We've learned there's more than that, Chris, that I didn't look up, like Claire Cognissant and Claire.

There's like different kinds of clairvoyants that are okay, yeah.

I guess they're like, I know a little bit about psychics because I uh have a podcast where we talk about scams.

Oh, yeah, there's my plug, lie, cheat, and steal.

We've done a couple episodes about psychics, which ones famous, like, um, oh, it's been a while.

We did one about um, that guy who has the he has like a TV show where he likes

the new one or or he's the new one this is like

john edward yeah we did one about edward okay tyler hill's the newest one and i gotta tell you if a 19 20 year old guy says he can talk to my dead relatives i'm like off dude you know all you have to even say to them yeah you're not gonna

i'm not gonna get taken in on a scam from a 19 year old do i look like a fucking dummy yeah and if you claim to be able to talk to dead people you have to be like kind of old yeah i can't even explain why but you just like have to be kind of old you have to be close to the other side yeah the male has to be thin i totally get that but no what we learned from doing this this podcast about psychics is that there are like they're the kind there are some that uh claim to be able to sort of like see the future there are some that claim to be able to contact the dead like there are all sort of a mix of of different powers that they say that they have so this person goes i get regular readings from a tarot reader who claims to talk to demons.

She's by far the most accurate reader I've ever met, but the demon shit scares me.

It hasn't had a major effect on me behind a greater fear of the dark and sleep paralysis, which that is, those are two very sleep paralysis.

Isn't that like one of the scariest things where you like wake up?

It's pretty fucking scary.

You can't move or anything.

You feel parallel.

Like, that's, I'm, that to me is whenever I heard about it, I was always like, well, that sounds like one of the scariest things.

Yeah, I'm afraid of the dark now, but it hasn't been a huge deal.

You're a grown-up who's afraid of the dark now, like that's kind of a big deal.

It's dark in a lot of places, it's dark like half the time, yeah.

Exactly.

At night, it's like places that weren't even dark before become dark, yeah.

That's a big deal.

She goes, Talking to her has enhanced my own abilities.

I have a lot of pre-cognitive dreams, six senses that turn out to be somewhat accurate.

That being said,

isn't that like every person?

Like, isn't that just like anybody who's like, you sort of have intuition and every now and then it turns out to come true, you know, like just being a human being.

Life is like fairly predictable overall.

Yeah, exactly.

And you can, yeah, you can draw comparisons between things and you can definitely predict things that may happen with some accuracy.

And if you're just doing it with some accuracy, and yeah, that's definitely possible.

I'll say that one of the things that I noticed the most is like, there are a lot of people who are like, I'm on the low end of psychic powers

because I can only read my husband or my wife's mind.

It's like you fucking live with them.

I can't read them, really.

I don't even know them.

You just remember all this stuff about them.

That's called intimacy.

That's what that is.

Yeah.

I can also, I guess, read my wife's mind because I can look at her and be like, oh, you seem annoyed.

Yeah,

I can pick up on things with Ariel.

It's like, God, it's unspoken things.

And it's like, holy crap, how did I realize she was angry there?

Yeah, this seems like a little bit of an offshoot of like empaths.

You should do an episode on empath guides.

That's, I feel like a similar, like, I can just tell what other people are feeling.

It must be a power that I have.

It's a weird thing to say.

Because that being said, are demons real?

What's their nature if they provide people with guidance similar to a seemingly benevolent spirit?

So the

Reddit is, it's a hot night

real if this lady's so good.

Yeah,

she's the one who's getting it all right, and then she's also saying there's demons.

I tend to believe there might be demons, then she's talking to them, and like that's the other thing.

Why is this guy like unquestionably believe this lady who's like, I talk to demons and they tell me the future, and they're like, But are demons real?

For real, like, he's asking strangers if demons are real,

yeah, trust a lady that knows everything.

I, yeah, I would say, keep he got to keep although giving him sleep paralysis and stuff.

I don't know, it's tough to say i would say maybe change a lot of things in in your life maybe yeah this person says i'm biased but as an akashic records reader anyone telling you demons are good or working with them is okay does not have your best interests especially someone who is working with demons knowingly for profit it's such a huge problem in the new age community this is a huge problem that they're dealing with people are working with demons yeah it's been a huge problem lately there's been people working with demons all the time People are like, Oh, I'm talking to demons, and it's like, Well, are they friendly conversations or like, are you telling them that they're not good?

Because

I wish I knew what they were saying to the demons.

Like, I wish I knew more about what the demons get up to, but we will learn a little bit more.

It's such a

what type of what did they say?

They said, like, a name there I didn't recognize.

They said a kashic records reader.

I don't know what you know what that is, Kath?

Um, vaguely, I feel like I've because I like to look at like new agey freak shows online like like we all do I'm sure and like I've heard that come up I think it has to do with like it might be aliens or like some uh sort of

oh my god I just figured it out it has to do with like out of body experience right do you have it oh never mind I thought it was an anime

because I wrote it and it said akashic records is an anime no they uh it's it's just psychics it says uh it's like the sum of all like universal knowledge or something that they can like tap into it it is a dimension of consciousness that tells the story of your soul's journey through space and time as a human being okay yeah

okay that's helped you

so that is yeah that's totally cool and sounds very normal but And so they're saying basically that, hey, if this person's talking to demons,

if they're saying anything positive about him, be weary because

they could be working with demons.

Is there like a religious element to this?

Or no, yes, no, not it's weird because some of them I think do believe in God and that's why they're worried about demons.

Yeah, because that's that's a religious thing to be worried about demons, I feel like, maybe.

Yeah, they're like, I feel like there are like um wiccans and stuff.

Like, I don't think you have to believe in like the Christian God to be worried about demons.

Yeah, I see, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're gonna hear a lot here.

It goes, she goes, even people who don't realize they're channeling demons, for example, Archangel Metatron.

He's clever as fuck.

Who is that?

Is that like somebody from the Bible?

That's the mod of the Reddit.

Honestly, Archangel Metatron sounds like a Transformer.

Oh, Metatron.

Okay, so it's not from the Bible.

If it's Metatron, I didn't hear the second.

Well, maybe.

Can someone look it up?

This is all so confusing.

This is one of these things where I'm just getting lost so quickly.

We're 14 minutes in, and I'm just completely, I feel like I'm walking in just like the middle of nowhere.

I think some of it is made up, Chris.

I mean, Metatron is the greatest of

angels.

Angels.

In Jewish myths and legends.

Metatron is not a figure of the Hebrew Bible, but his name appears briefly in several passages of the Talmud.

So it's just, this is a biblical figure.

And he's, he's, he's, yeah, and he's,

he says he's a clever as fuck demon slash fallen angel that's infiltrated very well-intentioned and high-vibrational people in a new age community.

Archangel Metatron?

That's fucking badass, to be honest.

I've had so many opportunities to use my connections to the astral plane for a dark agenda, even if it's just giving people psychic information that's going to facilitate repeat business.

But yes, demons are very powerful, but consenting to a little bit of evil is still making a deal with the dark.

If you want accurate information from a place of light and love, the Akashic Records are where it's at.

Oh, the thing I do is where it's at.

Right.

Trying to sell you on the Akashic Record thing.

Do you think this guy would feel more at ease if his tarot reader was like, look, I'm getting this from demons, but I'm always telling them to leave me alone.

I'm like very vexed.

Yeah.

I wish the demons would stop telling me this stuff, but I'm just passing it along.

Like now that I know.

Sneak up on me when I'm like, I'm like in the at a bathroom stall or whatever.

And they're just like, I don't even, I don't hang out with the demons.

Right.

But they give me the information.

Well, this guy goes, depend on what kind of demons, demons from which mythologies.

Judeo-Christian demons are fallen angels typically.

In the book of Enoch, it's fallen angels that teach people forbidden knowledge, such as, such as divinatory arts.

Other kinds of demons have their own history baggage.

Before assuming they're dangerous, you'd need more information.

Demons aren't always evil or even malicious, but they're not exactly, quote, safe either.

I put them in a similar category as working with the Fae.

Now, this, I believe, are fairies.

yes that is right

the weird way they spell fairies like that's how i figured it out it was like context goes f-a-e-l

they smell fairies weird are they watching tv or movies or reading these in books or where where do they think they're talking to fairies i'm really really confused by this i don't either know where they think

in their mind they're talking to fairies like or do they are they seeing them it seems that they're seeing them or feeling them you know what i mean i feel fairies Yeah.

I think it's like feeling a presence and then thinking something in your own mind and being like, the presence put this in my brain.

This line.

I think it's the vibe.

This might be one of my favorite lines.

They aren't evil, but not safe.

And it's best to be aware and guarded around them.

If your practitioner is the one making the deals or otherwise has the relationship, any blowback would be at them, not you.

Yeah, there we go.

Not my problem.

They don't sweat it.

You just drop your bomb and you walk out and you let your fucking, the other person deal with the demon backlash.

Is that what they're saying?

Not my circus, not my monkeys.

These are not my demons.

It's sort of like, is there any blessing if you talk to a psychic who speaks with angels?

Not really.

The blessing would be for the person who has developed rapport and relationship with the angels, not the client of the person.

But I don't know.

You wouldn't listen.

And I don't even know why I'm talking.

I'm talking more like it's a serious thing.

You wouldn't want to, you wouldn't just want to, if you're afraid of the demons, you wouldn't want to associate with them or be anywhere near them or just get into their orbit.

You know what I mean?

And that would, I feel like, you know, associating with somebody who is speaking directly to the demons is getting you closer to the demons.

And I think you just want to stay away from them.

Well, Ghost 404 does say, you're fine.

Not every demon is out to get people.

It's an unfair stereotype about demons.

It is.

It is.

They're really demonized, honestly.

He goes, it's a malicious spirit, not necessarily a demon.

Demons are real.

Their nature can be good or bad, and they can also be a guide to people.

Then, up soon, sun, moon, and earth goes, no such thing as good-natured demons.

That's just cringy new age revisionism.

Or a bad thing.

Are you talking?

I hate that's the worst part of it.

When the people come in and be like, That's absolute hooey.

That part of it that you're saying is absolute hogwash.

You know, let's stick to the

stay grounded in reality here with the demons and fairies, please.

Stick to the demon facts.

Stop this.

Come on, stop it.

This is

we all know demons listen you're a bunch of gullible people you believe these demons are helping people yeah you believe that you gullible idiots believe that these demons are good you know because if they just seem good nature they're just better liars or actors than other ones

what do you think demons are exactly you don't think they're clever you know what i mean that like in horror movies that's something that like scares the out of me when there's like a demon that's pretending to be good that's like the scariest thing that can happen in a horror movie to me.

I would love to work with a good demon, like a bad deal.

I always was like, I was always like, if I was in the horror movie and the demons were like, hey, you're going to be our, you're going to be our human bad guy.

I was like, fine, fuck yeah.

Yeah, why not?

What the hell?

It's not going to hurt anybody.

Well, you are going to hurt a bunch of people, but I'll be the one not getting hurt.

Yeah,

you don't have it.

We already established.

You have no problem with that.

You once roamed the streets in a violence game in your neighborhood.

Stop it.

I haven't roamed the streets in a violence game.

It wasn't a game.

You were really.

It was real.

It was real for those people that were being brutally.

I'm just, I'm trying to float this thing.

It's like, he was like a kid, you know, it was like child.

Yeah, in a violence game.

And I'm floating it as if he was like, you know, doing stranger attacks in a violence gang, just sort of roaming around.

He goes, of course, some demons help people, but it's for Machiavellian reasons.

They want something in return or to take something.

Spirit guides are also a higher vibrational beings, not lower ones like demons.

Demons don't guide.

They misguide.

So he's like, you know, you got to do better and get a real spirit guide.

Okay.

And then Ghost 404 says, not been the case with me, though everyone's situation is different.

We're both biased when it comes to demons, and it's fine.

It's agree to disagree about demons.

But then this guy gets pissed.

Oh, yeah.

He's like, demons are just better at offering people what they want or telling them what they want to hear than most realize they always stab their followers in the back sooner or later commonly misfortune befalls a person if they neglect offerings or worship and it goes away once offerings and worship are resumed their followers then their followers thank the very same patron who made the mess for clean it up and are usually none the wiser so well there's a built-in solution to that problem keep the offerings coming yeah yeah just don't stop worshiping you'll be fine yeah yeah so i i also checked in he just imagined all that stuff oh yeah yeah yeah yes okay i just want to this is all this is all yes just made up brains of the red okay yeah yeah yeah this person says i avoid the demonic and those who dabble in it personally for my own safety So, I mean, that's how I would feel if I was a lunatic who believed this.

That is how I would feel too.

I would say right away from the demons, you know,

oh, I'm a good demon.

Oh, yeah.

Well, that's what the bad demons would say as well, of course.

Oh, listen to this guy.

I used to do a lot of work with demons.

At their best, they're informative, and at their worst, they're very annoying.

The most they can do to you is leave physical scratches on your body akin to what is left behind by an excited puppy.

The only way they can exert any power over you is if you allow it.

I have also met more than one incarnated demon, and they're a bit more potentially hazardous.

Oh, fuck that.

That's not this.

This guy's ranging.

This guy's going over into the the scary zone.

Oh, I'm seeing incarnated demons.

Like, that's a real serious, scary thing.

Yeah, that's a real serious, scary thing.

He goes, most demons are simply annoying pests to be ignored or avoided.

So, hey, and this person goes, How can you tell someone's an incarnated demon?

Now, I don't think they should be talking about this.

Yeah, they shouldn't be.

This is like we can't have them talking.

This has got to be, this has got to be reported to the authorities.

These people are definitely,

I think about that Andy Daly character on comedy Bang Bang who would see all the Draculas or whatever.

And they ended up always being kind of like, you know, the guy who was sleeping with his wife or whatever.

Turns out this guy was a, where, I forget what it was, maybe not a Dracula or whatever, a vampire.

I think it was vampire.

But yeah, that's what I'm thinking when I hear these.

I feel like we're about like, I, because it's, it's Reddit, so I can see this going in a direction of immediately getting racial of like yes incarnated demons are gonna be I can see like they're they're people who weren't born here that's what the incarnated demons are we just don't want anybody thinking there's incarnated demons because they become a problem for all society at that point he goes they how can you tell if someone's an incarnated demon i'd assume they would look like everyone else though probably their energy would feel off how did those encounters go and the person replies he goes goes, They appear outwardly normal, but their energy is anything but.

I have the gift of astral sight, so I can examine their energetic form.

It's rather easy for me to tell.

I've met three of them so far.

They work and pay taxes just like everyone else.

Also, their energy is simply not human.

So the demons are paying taxes.

Very cool.

That's cool to know.

There's people just kind of wandering around out there who are like, I can sense that you're a demon.

Yeah.

This person replies and goes,

real sense.

You have

it, it is kind of exciting to think, like when you just sort of encounter someone in the world, that there is a small chance that they think you're a demon.

That is cool, that's kind of exciting, yeah.

Yes, I don't know.

I think this is, can we get away from the demon?

Please, I gotta get me this one, but can we steer away from this?

I don't like to make these tell you this type of stuff ever on the podcast, but these people are scary mental illness people to me.

And I'm kind of, it kind of bumps me out.

It says no one can escape taxes and bureaucracy.

It seems not even demons.

Not even demons.

And a person replies and goes, just wait till you see the staggering bureaucracy on the other side of things after you die.

Both demons and angels have desks.

Whoa.

What the fuck?

The afterlife is just a DMV.

That's you just go and you wait.

That's what happens in Beetlejuice.

That's true.

That's what this person is seeing.

They're confusing the second sight with Betelgeuse.

Do you think that might happen to some of them that they'll watch a film a number of times and then they'll start sort of just thinking?

Cause that'll happen to me.

You know, we've discussed it.

I, you know, pretend I thought I was the dude from the big Lebowski for about three weeks.

You know, I just really thought I was him.

And so I think that can happen to you sometimes.

Well, let's go to a more guys-centric.

post masturbation and astral projection yes

uh sorry if this isn't the place to ask this type of question.

I also posted it to astral projection, but I was wondering if masturbation affects my ability to astral project or just my psychic abilities in general.

Sorry for such a weird question.

I just don't know where else to ask.

What is, what is, and everyone probably knows so I sound stupid here, but what is astral projection?

What does it like actually mean?

I think it's just.

talking to the stars.

It's like

it's basically

dreaming.

It's like the idea that you leave your, you can leave your body when you're asleep and like go do stuff,

fly around and stuff.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And like talk to aliens and access the Akashic records, that kind of stuff.

It's like lucid dreaming, but like a step further.

It's kind of a soul journey or like soul wandering.

Yeah.

Spiritual journey or spiritual journey.

This is kind of an embarrassing thing as well from when I was younger.

Like you guys, when you were younger, you found out about lucid dreaming, right?

Yeah.

And I found out about it and I tried so hard to do it because I was like about 13 or 14 years old or something, you know, and I tried so hard to do it because I just wanted to go into a dream and have

I wanted to have sex with Britney Spears.

I just,

that was what I thought in my like 14 year old mind was I was just like, this is, this is the best thing that I can do.

And I tried, I tried for a couple of weeks to do it.

Like I tried all the things, but it wasn't in the cards for me.

That sucks.

This person says masturbation for males and females raises the vibration i've seen spiritual groups do masturbation meditations to help raise their vibration and unblock their third eye i know a place where you can go and just go crazy masturbating and uh uh

It's called hedonism 2.

And you could go there and everybody's fucking masturbating and maybe they're all astral projecting.

Multiple good friends who are mediums have told me they communicate a lot better with spirits after masturbating.

This is from males and females.

A girl I know that frequently astral projects multiple times a week, sometimes masturbates before astral projecting because it raises her vibration and helps her AP quicker.

So,

I really like the idea of someone using this to convince people to jerk off with them.

It's like, no, we're raising our vibration.

Don't you want to see your dead grandma again?

Or whatever?

Well, this person goes, I've been abstaining lately, and I'd like to know the answer to this as well.

Please, God, tell me it's okay.

Please tell me.

Please.

Person goes, I can create an energy surge by abstaining and then directing the pent up energy, or you can create an energy surge by masturbating or having sex.

Your sexual energy is just something you can learn to direct and use as you please.

I feel like it would make sense if any of this were real, which we've established it is not.

It would sort of make sense that it would be easier to do after you masturbate because then, like, you're not distracted by, it'd be like, you know, get your needs met before you try to direct your energy to that.

Yeah, totally.

Got a meal.

You know, exactly.

Unfortunately, Decent Mango says my psychic experiences got a lot more vivid and dense when I stopped masturbating for a month.

When I ejaculated again, it went away.

Fuck.

So that's like horniness, though.

That's just exactly like being horny.

Yeah, it's just your last thoughts.

You're

basically saying you can get so horny that you can physically leave your body.

Hey, you know, I wouldn't know that because I have a normal sex drive.

Like, energy exists and stuff, you know what I mean?

I feel like in some way, like, like, not in that way, but like, you know, you can kind of like sense some, like, that's more body language, I guess.

I'm just trying to like understand if there's any, like, sort of any grounding in reality, or if this is just complete.

like, I know

complete nonsense, but do you know what I mean?

Like, sort of reading energy and stuff like that.

And is there people who are like more effective at that and understanding sort of, you know, not obviously talking to a dead person, but they're able to like pick up on things more intuitively and stuff.

Well, yeah, I mean, I think, like, most monastic people, like monks and nuns and stuff, they, you know, like Buddhist monks don't jack off.

And it's supposed to be so they can, like, because they've sort of put their bodily needs needs aside to focus on, you know, the wheel of samsara or whatever and enlightenment.

So, like, it's not like this was totally made up on Reddit.

I feel like there's, there is a grounding in this in some way.

I don't know if it's like real.

I, it's not something I'm interested in trying, but it's the cold reading that it's that it's just a carnival trick.

Like a lot of people.

A lot of the psychic shit.

Yeah.

Yeah, the psychic shit.

I just mean like, yeah, that I think maybe more in

Eastern culture and stuff right or versus Western culture that it does exist where there's like yeah people like that who are seen and like respected in that way but yeah they're not talking like this no they're not on Reddit talking about yeah

I think I'm psychic says why don't psychics go to casinos I've been playing a lot of casinos.

Check me, motherfucker.

That is the question,

man.

If you're really psychic, I mean, there's so many.

What's that guy's name?

Randy.

Something Randy.

James Randy.

Yeah, yeah, the skeptic guy.

The The skeptic guy who would go and just prove them wrong, right?

Because it's so easy to prove them wrong.

He has like a standing, like anyone who proves definitive, like

sort of extrasensory powers gets like, I don't know, like $50,000.

A million.

A million.

It's a million now.

It was a million.

I think he might be dead now.

Oh, yeah, you might be right.

I was going to talk to a demon.

But he definitely, I used to watch his videos.

I went on a big run of watching.

There's like a couple of the famous guys from the 80s that he you know called it was the one guy who was just blowing on the thing do you

he said he was he said he was moving like uh something moving the pages on uh on a um white on like the phone book yeah and he was just blowing yeah

so he just put a bunch of uh all all james ranny did was put a bunch of little like uh foam peanut little things you know like just put a bunch of little pieces of foam on there and then he just as soon as he did it he just blew all the foam away and he's like why is that happening?

I had to move those first.

I had to get them out of the way.

I moved them.

I've been playing a lot of casino games lately, and I've been winning a lot, although it's not real money.

But I definitely feel if I'm, I feel if I'm going to win or not, and it's like cheating.

Why don't more psychics just play at casinos and use their ESP to win?

This guy has, this is three years ago.

This guy has probably lost a lot of money.

We've probably seen some more of his reviews.

His reviews.

We read a lot of casino reviews.

They're some of our favorite reviews to read.

People who are one-star reviews for the casino.

Yeah, I bet he's made some of those.

It's fixed, obviously, because I'm psychic.

And I

wouldn't have winning when I didn't.

And I knew I was going to win, and yet I did not win.

Like talking to the manager.

Could I please speak to somebody else?

My intuition said I was going to win, and I did not.

Chris, some of these guys are like your, you're,

here's one.

Well, I'm not saying they don't, but there's a line you don't cross.

Oh, so the psychics are simply too ethical.

They'll just think it's an honor thing.

So you're saying like somebody like John Edwards, who is again bilking people out of money.

Taking money from grieving people.

Grieving people who have lost their loved ones is

he's a little above using it against the casinos because yeah, the casinos, we don't want to fuck with the casinos.

No, why would you?

That could hurt the business of the casino right and the casino is like just a bunch of honest hardworking people is never well not all i guess there's you know the mafia is involved in a lot of them but still you know

yeah chris they're just trying to let you come in with fifty dollars and play for three to five hours and then

money what's so wrong about that that's all it is I sometimes have a telepathy kind of thing that goes on with me.

People or thoughts flash into my mind and then they're calling or showing up shortly after, but never any insight or telepathic moments when it comes to games of chance.

Oh, though.

Well, okay.

This guy goes, it's an interesting one.

And you see it amongst many in the quote psychic fields.

For example, you often find astral projectors can't read numbers or secret information whilst projecting.

I love that.

Many people struggle.

Yeah, because it's like, well, I can see the entire future.

I cannot see numbers, though.

If you find numbers, because like

the thing you would do is win the fucking lottery.

Like, all these guys are bending themselves into pretzels to say why they haven't won the lottery.

Like, so many of these guys are just like, well, I haven't won because it's unethical.

It's like, come on.

I can tell you that you're going to get into a car accident, but I can't tell you what time because when I look at the clock, it's just a blank clock.

It's pictures of of like cows and ducks and stuff.

It's just be careful in your car.

Many people struggle to practice reading numbers.

It's almost as if, and it might sound mad that something actively blocks it.

Perhaps if your intent

isn't pure, then you can't access the information.

That's a good answer.

That makes sense.

That is a good answer.

Yeah.

It's funny to me, though, that they're like, oh, if you're astral projecting, you can't access secret information.

And it's like, hmm, it's almost like you do not have any knowledge beyond what already exists in your own mind, and yet somehow you're going beyond it.

You can't get any information that would be useful.

It's almost like if you astral project, you get a bunch of useless information that you already thought of one time or read.

Yeah, like everybody in their dreams and stuff, you know, like you just get re-fed this kind of weird information that's like similar to things that have happened and an amalgamation of all these different events and stuff and i guess yeah if you were i guess like kind of a wacky kind of person you might be like well what the does that mean i was like it was like that when i went to the mall but then i was at my aunt's place afterwards does my aunt want to move to the mall like you know

it's like it's like yeah i think that that's all that's happening here comes an issue that is like the the fun so like you said like some of these people clearly have like a problem uh a brain problem but the ones that aren't are really funny to me because it's like you're what you what they're describing as like extra sensory powers are just sensory powers yes those are the people that i really

dig digging my hooks into and i really appreciate yeah are the people who are like and then i was like remembering this it's like yo you were just doing a regular human thing and they don't realize that everyone else can do that yeah i was at the store and i bought peanut butter but it wasn't on the list but then when i got home there was no peanut butter.

Like that's kind of a psychic story.

That's one of these guys' stories.

I want to know what happened.

I went to the, this is actually a thing that happened to me at the grocery store today.

I was, I, I was like, oh, shit, I fucking forgot sour cream.

And then I went to go get the sour cream from the till.

And when I went back, I passed by and realized I also forgot the butter.

Oh,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That was Jesus pushing you there.

The OP comes back.

This is where you know the OP is in big trouble.

I don't think so.

I'm planning to play poker competitively once I travel because I feel like I always win.

It's a bit hard to use ESP, but it's possible.

And I feel like I can literally get very rich just by playing at casinos.

That's a cool sentence.

That's a cool sentence.

I feel like I can get very rich just by playing at casinos.

I feel like somebody on this call said that one time when he left Las Vegas.

Yeah, that was

$80.

That was brian brian tried no big deal i could just win he tried to make a living at the casino after winning 80 in las vegas and

i mean that yeah i mean that you're not well no you're you're missing the part where i was up 800 so he lost 700 and then he lost 700

yeah yeah yeah but i started thinking like my rent at the time was 960 a month so if i go to do that a couple more times and not lose 90% of it again.

It's hard though, because I was playing roulette and only betting on red or black.

So yeah, see, this is gonna take you a while.

This is just the wildest part about it, right?

Because like if you count cards or whatever, right?

You know what I mean?

If you, if you're, if they're playing one deck blackjack and you can count cards, or if you are playing poker where they're just taking like, uh, you know, part of the pot and you're playing against other human beings and you can use skill and things like that, then yeah, you can, you definitely can but the way brian was doing it rouette i'm gonna make a living at rouette i thought i could i thought i was like there's no way i can lose and then i lost i took my wife to the casino we had eighty dollars we each had forty dollars and we had no money we're talking about like a time where I was making probably $36,000 a year at that time.

And I was like, let's just take this 80 bucks.

We're going to turn it into some money.

Both of us lost.

Well, first of all, I lost all of my money in like 10 minutes.

And then I went up to her and was like, Should we get some more money out?

Or do you want to give me some of your money?

And then, so she gave me 10 more of her dollars.

I lost that immediately.

And she was like, We should leave.

And we just left.

We were only there for like 20 minutes.

That kind of sums up their relationship a little bit.

It's a pretty good microcosm of what I know about their relationship right there.

This person says, Moral obligations, plus, never been a fan personally.

This person says, too many negative energies, not worth opening opening myself up to that.

That's true.

The vibes, if you're a vibe sensitive person, like these people obviously are, casino vibes are brutal intense.

If you can't read, like I have been in a casino and felt a profound sense of darkness too.

Yeah.

And that is because at the casino, it's profoundly dark.

It's the darkest parts of the human spirit.

That's my like, my stance on gambling is like, I don't think it should be illegal, but I think you should have to go somewhere really sad to do it.

I don't think you should get to do it on your phone.

You should have to go to like the most depressing off-track betting place.

Yeah.

And then, but then you're allowed.

Like, have at it.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, if you're able to deal with that, then a rogue mercenary says, because that's not how it works.

And then Master Thaddeus says, I always wanted to break a casino soon.

A threat.

The OP says, I've been feeling like I will, actually.

And then Master Thaddeus says, oh, I know I will soon.

I'll be there until I get thrown out.

I'm sure I'll make the news.

Oh, okay.

That's another guy who

I don't think he's talking about psychic shit.

I don't think he's going to get the money with psychic powers.

I think he might be using different means.

Well, Yal Wright says, check your ego.

So somebody is in here being like, Come on, call me.

Let's not go crazy.

You're not that psychic.

Like, I love that.

Like, yo, listen, man, hey, we're all psychic around here, but listen, we don't need to be crazy with it.

All right.

You're not that psychic, bro.

Well, master thaddeus replies and goes you don't know me check yours go jerk off or on or off

it's like go jerk off on of

okay you just told him to go jerk off i think i think he meant to say go jerk off so the on of is just sort of added by accident like maybe he said that he was like dictated it dictated afterwards you know like

the guy replies and goes did your guides tell you to say that toxic nah it was your ego but i bet you can't tell the difference at this point and then master thaddeus says oh roulette is how i'll do it so that's a smart guy are you master thaddeus

he does posts like that too just like he tries to pretend he doesn't but we've seen some of his reviews and stuff oh god my reviews are the nicest person reviews that have ever existed i've never given a bad review Yeah, no, they're absolutely just, they're real spineless little, little worm reviews.

Mineral I like that too, because the only time I write them is if they're going to give me like a coupon or something if I do.

So they've never wormy.

They're wormy as hell.

They fucking make you, they fucking go like this.

Hey, the guy you rented this Airbnb from, he reviewed you.

The only way to see it is to write a review.

And it's like, I kind of got to know what the review is now.

Like, did I

know?

Now, when I understand, I would just, I would just write like, it was fine and then go through, you know what I mean?

Unless there's like a, you just don't have a change in the world, Chris.

That guy had a fucking washer that I couldn't use.

I know there for four days.

I know, I know, probably

fix the

guy that just sits by and lets injustices happen.

Ryan, we know everybody listening knows that you aren't allowed to use the washer unless you stayed there for longer.

Okay,

I'm sorry, and I'm on your side.

I'm listed on the thing as having a washer.

I know, yeah, no, that's injustice.

That's injustice.

No, I know, but he's he talks about it a lot.

That's all.

And I get, I get a lot of people.

I'm a little psychic.

I've sensed this has come up before.

Yeah, I know it has definitely.

And off this podcast as well, he just talks about it a lot.

He's very bring it up a lot.

He brings it up.

This guy, Cosmic Al says, I do, but when you win a significant amount, the casino starts sending you these next-level cocktails and shots, lighting them on fire and bullshit like that.

If you refuse the drinks, food are sent next.

I'm easily tipsy and highly distractible, like a person who's just versed on gambling.

The casino will identify you and it will distract you, unless it's like a cruise ship or a tiny casino then you can sometimes clean up

so so that basically they'll like because casinos can just ask you to leave by the way like they can just refute they can just say that they're really drunk No,

if they think you're counting cards or whatever, you're just like winning too much, they can just ask you to leave.

Like it's really hard.

Yeah, they're not going to be like, this person is causing a disturbance.

Let's get them really drunk.

Yeah.

Like, all right, let's, let's start a like sit calm like series of events here in order to get rid of these people versus just asking them to leave and having the security escort them out.

It's funny to think that anybody at any business would want to get somebody fucking hammered in their business.

I think the least, like I, if I owned anything, I'd be like, nope, no, don't get them drunk.

It's bad.

Get them aggressively drunk and then kick them out and tell them they have to leave.

Finally, the OP says, I'm playing with, I play with playing money and i win 80 of the time especially if i focus it's just easy to know the winning hands and if my bluffs are going to work or not and i'm not going to talk about roulette eloa it's basically a free bank in my opinion for psychics

well

i mean if he's that would be the game you know what i mean if you were a psychic you're trying to prove your psychicness yeah and you're not okay

you could you could just like because

I mean, if you were a psychic, you just go and put all as much as you're allowed to put down on the number and then you'd see what's going to come up.

I know it doesn't work exactly like that, but for some of them, it's got to work like that, right?

Yeah.

You want to hear some psychics who get bad energy off of celebrities?

Yes.

What?

Celebrity?

So much.

Oh, yes.

And

can we play a game where you, we, we just, Kath and I say if we agree or disagree, like we say if we like their energy.

Here, I'll even, I'll read you one and you can tell me who the person is.

I'll read you a reason.

Oh, this is good.

Sacred Ham of Power says, you don't need to be psychic psychic to see she writes songs that humiliate her past boyfriends and how terrible that is.

She wants to be mean.

Well,

at least there's that.

Oh, Taylor Swift is getting it.

It is.

It is.

Adele?

It's Taylor Swift.

Because Adele obviously had that one song, but yeah, Taylor Swift famously does it.

I really did think that it was Adele.

I was completely wrong.

So she doesn't, she gets benefiting.

They get benefiting off Taylor Swift.

That makes sense.

Well, Sacred Ham of Power brings her up a few times for writing songs about her ex-boyfriend.

So A, he's an ex-boyfriend of Taylor Swift.

Right.

This is John Mayer's alt or something.

Or B, he got dumped by a woman who likes Taylor Swift, which is more likely.

Occam's racer.

She's very popular.

So I do feel like that's quite possible.

This person goes, she doesn't humiliate anybody.

She is gay.

Oh, hell yeah.

I love that conspiracy theory.

She doesn't.

Sorry, what was

she doesn't humiliate anyone?

She's, what does that mean?

She's gay.

Well, this person says, if you're gay, that doesn't mean you can't humiliate someone.

Thank you.

Those are not related.

That's what I was going to say.

Yeah.

What does that do with that?

If I was gay, I could humiliate tons of people.

It's all I would do.

One, you know, closeted married guys.

Yeah, there you go.

Her sexuality has nothing to do with all the shade she's throwing at everyone in a past relationship with her.

That sacred ham of power again.

He's just very mad.

And this person goes, I fainted at a concert of hers because I couldn't really take the energy.

Also, I ate pot.

So I don't know if he's joking or if the energy.

I think that person might be doing a bit of a joke.

Here's one.

It's funny because everyone hates Kim Kardashian, but I find her harmless.

Also, I've always really liked Gwyneth Paltrow while other people hate her.

So this person thinks Gwyneth Paltrow has good energy.

I don't, I heard, I heard she doesn't, right?

I mean, I don't know.

Isn't she like, oh, I guess they would think that, though, because she's all into that kind of stuff.

I was going to say, I think she's helping their economy.

Yes.

You know, so like they like her because of that.

Yeah, she's, she's really sort of like

bringing it to the mainstream a little bit.

Like, what, what's her thing called?

What's her goop?

Goop.

You know, I feel like a lot of the products that they would have in where they would be like weird crystals bullshit.

She's like going to the Akashic Records and shit, I think.

Oh, yeah.

Here's a great one for Chris

from what we talked about earlier with them.

This guy goes, Well, I always felt Kevin Spacey was creepy or had a strange vibe to him.

Oh, you always felt that way, huh?

That's the classic fucking like old Twitter thing, you know?

I always kind of had a bad feeling about this guy.

Never liked him or or said anything about it or stood up in any way until it all came to.

Well, then this guy goes, it's his eyes.

Yeah.

And there's one of them.

I think it's the allegations.

Yeah, mainly.

Well, then Emily Heather responds and goes, he always played creepy characters, though.

So she's still like,

maybe you're reading the wrong kind of energy.

He is an actor.

Maybe he's just a very good actor.

Yeah.

I mean, he is a good actor.

I'm sorry, but he's a good actor.

That's something Chris is always messaging me.

He's like, I love Spacey.

I don't

know.

I don't know what I hate.

I think he's awful.

And I don't, but you guys can't sit here and act like he doesn't, the guy doesn't know how to act.

I mean, that's wild.

You know, you like Baby Driver a lot.

I mean, it was okay.

Always.

I can't ever get you to admit movie sucks.

I'll tell you some movie.

I told you there's the one that James Franco made.

It's called Zeroville.

It's his movie, and it's the worst film that's ever been made everyone who's listening go and watch that if you want to see the absolute worst piece of

art

film from a high school student you'll ever watch it's brutal well i popped into quora guys

popped in to take a look um this person asked is it possible for people to have psychic powers such as mind reading or predicting the future are there any documented cases of this happening to real individuals yes cases

uh fox goes like this i'm sick of explaining the science behind it.

So I'm just going to come out and rudely say no, no.

Can you apologize?

Can you read?

You said cashes.

And I

is it possible for people to have psychic powers, such as mind reading or predicting the future?

Are there any documented cases of this happening?

Because I got distracted.

I'm not trying to call you out on a flub.

I didn't even say flub.

I never even said the word flub.

I just got distracted by cashes.

And then I didn't hear.

I was, it was, I was thinking, started thinking of quiche, like the food quiche.

Chris, this is your guy this is your new character this fox guy that answered the question that you were talking about on the mafia episode he goes i'm sick of explaining the science behind it so i'm just going to come out and rudely say no no no no no and everyone out there claiming they do it's a scam and i'm not going to explain the science anymore because i've done it with too many of these questions get a high school education and learn some basic science so you know that special powers are impossible you know what i'll leave you with this question the special powers are possible why don't you ever see any bad bad guys using it?

End of story.

If it was possible, there would be bad guys using it all the time, but we don't see that ever.

End of discussion.

That is a crazy, like, of all the things to use as proof.

Right.

Who are the bad guys?

What are you talking about?

And Marvel movies.

Right.

Are thinking of Marvel movies?

He's like, well, there's no Mr.

Freeze, so psychics aren't real.

Like, what is he talking about?

This, this, this, I do love this, though, person refusing to, yeah, that's my new character.

It really upsets all the radio hosts is you just call and you kind of ask them a question, then they say, and then you say, you kind of got it like a little bit, but like, you're not more or less, you understand, but you're not getting the whole picture, and then you just refuse to ever explain what it is.

I'm really tired of explaining this.

It drives them crazy.

Like, honestly, like,

yeah, and it's just like, you guys are more surface-level thinkers.

That's a good thing to say.

But yeah, we found now on two episodes here that there's these people just doing this in real life where they're like out there saying,

I'm just, you guys are all stupid and wrong, and I'm not going to tell you why.

Oh, yeah.

This person, are psychics real?

Charles goes, of course they are.

You can literally reach out and shake hands with them.

The question should be, does what they tell you have any value?

Item.

Now, this is his, his, his style of posting.

Okay.

To be extremely literal, and then

he goes, item.

After JP Morgan made a last-minute decision not to take the Titanic back to the U.S., a rumor spread that he had been

warned not to by a clairvoyant.

When he was finally collared by reporters, he said, I questioned.

And he said, the millionaires would never.

Okay, so he was asked, this is crazy.

He goes,

and they said, do millionaires,

he said, millionaires never use astrologers.

And when Morgan replied, no, millionaires don't, but billionaires do.

Ooh.

Okay.

I really think if that psychic knew that the Titanic was going down, they should have done more than tell JP Morgan not to give money to it.

It's the last guy that I would tell.

I have to protect JP Morgan.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Obviously,

you know.

in the rich vein of

stealing money from people.

It was really smart of them to pick the rich person

as much money off of this as possible.

Well, he goes, item, Nancy Reagan famously relied on an astrologer and was told there will be an incident on March 30th.

That was in 1981, the year and date John Hinckley Jr.

would attempt to assassinate her husband, our President Ronald.

There will be an incident.

Doesn't sound particularly clairvoyant when it was learned that Miss Reagan was deep into astrology on behalf of her husband.

A media brouhaha ensued.

This This reminds me, and no one's going to, so see, if I was, I was clairvoyant in my life when I was younger.

I had like a real moment that I made real money off of.

This is not a joke.

I'm not joking when I say this.

So if I really believed in this stuff, I would have become a psychic because in 2001, the World Series, I've said this on podcasts before, in the World Series between New York Yankees and Arizona Diamondbacks, I had a dream that Craig Counsel, the second baseman for the Arizona Diamondbacks, was going to hit a home run run in the first game.

And he only had five home runs in 162 games all year.

And I bet my friend based on the dream $20 straight up, my friend Adam.

And then he hit a home run in the first inning of the first game.

And he didn't have any other home runs in the rest of the World Series.

And so.

That's clairvoyance.

Like, I saw it in a dream, and then I like bet him, and I knew it was going to happen.

But I don't know.

I never really thought much more of it after that.

I was like, oh, that was kind of weird.

That was kind of weird weird how I saw that in the dream.

And then I believed it, you know, but I never thought of it after.

I had a friend who had a lot of people who had a lot of people.

Yeah, I think that's the difference.

Sorry, what, Brian?

I had a friend named Porno Sean, and he noticed that there weren't enough adult bookstores in the neighborhood.

So he was like, I'm going to go purchase a bunch of porno movies so that I can open an adult bookstore.

That was kind of a psychic thing he did.

He was just a friend of Brian's who gathered pornography because he was extremely horny.

And Brian's like, what an enterprising young man, my friend.

He turned his horniness into entrepreneurship.

No, but he didn't, dude.

He never opened the porno store.

The store never opened.

He just jacked off to the porno.

The porno store never opened, but he had an astounding porno collection right at the end of collecting porno.

Like, right

overnight, his collection became worthless.

I recently on a bonus episode, Brian showed me a picture of porno Sean current day,

and he looks exactly how I imagined him.

And like, once again, making me think I'm maybe

you saw him in your mind's eye.

I mean, truly, though,

if you heard the stories about him, it's like you kind of know what he's going to look like.

I don't know.

I can't really explain it.

Blonde goatee.

You know what I mean?

Like blonde mustache.

Short brown hair.

Like, you can, you know, a guy who looks like him.

You grew up with a guy who looks like him, and he was very very similar.

He would have a lot of porno.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, he loved porno.

So Playo says, are psychic readings a scam?

There are many posing as psychics.

The only thing they can predict is how much money they'll be scamming from you.

I went to one who said I was athletic, LMAO.

I was still dressed in my walk clothes, but very far from being athletic.

Walk clothes.

Yeah.

My walk clothes.

I think that they're saying like they were in, they went out for a walk.

So they were in their like lead, you know, their jogging outfit or whatever, and then, but they're not actually athletic.

So the person was using real surface level stuff.

Like just being like, you know, you meet somebody with a baseball hat on and you're like, a bit of a baseball fan, I guess.

Right.

Oh, this really jacked guy.

My psychic powers are telling me he's athletic.

Yes.

And I wear a baseball hat.

And of course, I'm a huge baseball fan.

You love it.

I go to baseball games almost every week.

I'm going to baseball game tomorrow.

Now, baseball season will be over by the time this comes out, but I will be going to a baseball game tomorrow.

I will be getting vanilla ice cream and a baseball helmet.

That's good.

That is.

Thank you.

A different one said he probably cares about.

He doesn't even watch it.

That's the only good part.

He doesn't watch the game.

He doesn't know who.

I'm not going to say it again.

He's disgraceful.

He behaves disgracefully at the baseball game.

Do you know how badly you have to behave at a baseball game for it to be a disgrace to the baseball game?

He cheers for the other team when they hit a home run.

Both teams.

You got to cheer for both teams.

It's fun to cheer.

That's me at wrestling.

I'm cheering for everybody.

He goes to different ones.

Wrestling's different.

You can cheer for everyone at wrestling.

It's not real.

It's real.

By the way,

yeah.

Are you, you, you like wrestling, right, Kath?

Oh, God.

Are you, do you, are you a fan of like the real deal stuff?

The real, like, the old school shit, or what are you?

Do you mean real deal is in like not pro wrestling?

Or do you think that's a real deal?

No, no, no.

I mean like the old school territory shit when they used to really do it, when the headlocks were allowed to breathe, you know, and you could let them breathe for a while, right?

It was just two, two, uh, barrel-chested fathers kind of tussling.

Exactly.

Tussling is a great, there's not enough tussling in modern wrestling,

agreed, brother.

I agree with that.

And do you hate?

Do you hate this garbage AEW shit?

How do you feel about that?

I feel like this is a leading question.

I can't imagine what you feel about it.

I like it.

I like it.

I like all of it i think it's better it's the best company well wwe is still the best obviously it's not um a different one said she felt a sadness around me yeah i'd been crying after my divorce was granted

yeah idiot um my life just fell apart

you doofus

through tears castigating the psychic you

dumbass

i'm carrying my divorce papers in my hands

i just recently had a tattoo removed of my exes

absolutely wild night out for this lady though you know she's like out for a walk

after getting a divorce and goes by the clairvoyance you know like uh i saw one who told me that i prayed to the holy mother spot on only a real psychic would know that as i had told no one about my prayer oh i see my mother's read then a friend of my mother's read coffee granules.

She told mom to tell my father to be careful.

He died a few weeks later.

She gave me an in-depth reading that totally floored me.

So in the end, this person did find a real psychic.

Yeah.

So basically

you just got to look and find it's like, it's like a mechanic.

You know what I mean?

It's like, yeah, you got to go wait till you got to find the right one.

You know, it's not going to be a problem.

The wrong one will rinse you, but the right one's going to.

What you need to do is like when you go to the mechanic, you need to bring your friend who looks like they know a lot about psychics with you.

Yeah,

like a guy with a turtleneck, a black turtleneck on and like round little glasses.

And he's have him kind of like looking around a lot at things, you know, like at the ceiling and stuff.

I think that would help.

I've gone to the mechanic with people in the past because I look like a guy that would

know.

That would know something.

Yeah, you do.

I was going to say, I was confused there because I thought you meant you brought somebody with you.

Oh, yeah, you are the guy.

You're the guy who looks like you would do it.

They're wrong.

They're so wrong, dude.

I'm the guy.

I'm like

getting the oil change.

They're like, you should get a, here's your cabin air filter.

It's pretty dirty.

You probably need one.

I'm like, I know the scam.

No, I don't want a new cabin air filter.

And then they just leave me alone with that.

And then last week, they tried to say, hey, we want to do a gas flush on your car.

And I was like, you're not doing a gas flush on my car.

And so,

you know, I'm a guy.

I get a group on.

I go to the oil change place.

Boom, $70 and I'm out of there.

I don't get any of the upgrades.

Jerry Frederick was asked, do people with psychic abilities like astral projection and mind reading actually exist?

Here you go.

This is a good one, guys.

Have you been living your whole life in a cave?

Robert Monroe created the Monroe Institute.

He's written multiple books on astral projection and has taught his students at his institute how to soul travel.

Have you been living in a cave?

I genuinely, I feel, I didn't know that.

I did not really know that.

So he's, okay, okay.

You didn't know about Robert Monroe?

I actually listened.

In his institute, I had no idea about his institute.

It's funny.

I read this after I listened to a guy say,

yes, I studied with Robert Monroe, and I tend to go to, I win slots.

I can just win any slot machine.

I can change the slots.

And it's like he learned that from Robert Monroe.

He goes, regarding mind reading, yes, there's been a few people who've developed their minds to read other people's minds.

This year, on the TV show, America's Got Talent, there was a mind reader on that, even Simon Cowell, the hardest critic on the show, was so impressed with this man.

Please note that only a handful of people have ever been able to develop this psychic power.

Can I just say I looked up a picture of Robert Monroe, and he's he looks like one of the shadiest individuals I've ever seen in my life.

Can you please pull the, just, just, just put in Robert Monroe.

It's the, it's the

Robert Monroe.

Oh, is this a different guy?

Is this a different guy?

Oh, no, this is the same guy.

He was

shady to me.

He was an American radio broadcasting executive.

So he was like some radio agent.

He's like Art Bell or something.

But look at Robert Monroe.

Look at him.

Look at what he does.

Oh, yeah.

This guy is not trustworthy.

This guy is working with the demons.

He's working with the demons.

This guy is working with the demons.

Everybody who's listening, just go look him up.

Robert Monroe, M-O-N-R-O-E, and you'll see the photo.

It's the first photo of him.

And tell me if you would trust this guy in any way with anything.

It's the episode.

Finally, we're going to check in on some books on Amazon.com, some reviews of How to Be a Psychic: A Practical Guide, How to Be a Psychic, written by Michael R.

Hathaway, DCH.

It's got 3.8 stars.

It is a $40

video,

$40,

but the book that is on the machine.

E-book.

It is a $40 e-book.

The book that's on the machine.

The book that's on the machine.

By the way, I think DCH, I was looking up what DCH is.

I think it's chiropractor.

I think that's chiropractor, I believe.

Is Robert Monroe as a chiropractor too?

No, no.

No, just the thing, the author you said.

The author, the author one.

this author is a chiropractor.

Okay, so that's cool.

Kyle says, disclaimer for entertainment purposes only.

First off, should have a disclaimer for entertainment purposes only.

He went for that twice.

He needs people to know.

Yeah, a cardinal sin was committed this day and age on page 20 when the author assumed every reader was or identified as a female.

Her is not an acceptable way to refer to a reader who identifies or actually is a male.

Wow.

On the mirroring page, 21, the author speaks of soul leaving its physical body at death and unconscious memories of what it's like to exist in pure thought form as if it were proven scientific facts with all educated, intelligent, and reasonable people know they're not.

I like that these are two equivalent errors to this guy.

First of all, you used a pronoun that I personally do not identify with.

Second of all, the premise of the book is incorrect and impossible.

And these are my only two problems otherwise great book how great is it that the pronoun is her right like for the first time in the history of the world

like what's the context of that i don't even understand like is there a chance he's also just misunderstanding and and he's like telling a story about a person well he goes by page 37 when the board certified past life regression therapist dr hathaway offered such a profound and insightful insightful statement as a negative reaction can can increase your self-doubt.

I was definitely having a negative reaction to this book, but my doubt was placed more in the author than myself, to be honest.

That's kind of nice.

He read us part of the book so that he could do his little joke about it.

Well, on page 42.

on page 42.

So I love that he's got

that was this was the last straw.

The author demonstrated his ignorance by appealing to those grounded in a Christian faith, emphasizing the centermost, a surely intentionally chosen deceptive term that just means middle and has no significance in the importance of it, verse in the Bible.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

He's mad because he said centermost instead of middle.

Yeah.

Is that a Christian thing?

He goes, it's however, having 31 and 31, 102 verses, an even number, there's no singular centermost verse in that particular volume of sacred law.

With the two verses in the center being Psalm 103, 12, not Psalm 11, 118, 8, quote, doctor, more on that momentarily.

Hathaway apparently is not familiar with the term research.

Whoa.

Absolute garbage designed to swindle the weak-minded and easily manipulated out of their hard-earned money.

As an alternative,

we got an alternative.

Okay.

That's an alternative.

Grab a cheap notebook.

Visit your nearest dairy farm.

Ask for a fecal sample of an adult male cow and smear it on the pages.

Damn.

You now have a book full of that particular substance or a fraction of the price.

The doctor has multiple certifications, including an unaccredited degree at an unregulated field that grants him the title.

He also has completed a grueling 100-hour training course.

Knowledge is power, but

this author is a level one wizard at best.

I feel like he's not factoring in gas that it would cost to go to the farm.

He's not.

In order to get the, and then you got to talk to a farmer and make sure, you know what I mean?

Like that it's okay.

You're allowed to go and do that even.

Well, he's got to ask for a sample, a fecal sample.

So you go and knock on the farmer's door and say, can I have a big hunk of dog of cow shit?

Yeah, true.

I mean, he probably will give it to you.

I don't think he'd mind.

Chances are,

who's to say?

I'm curious about how this guy even got this book.

I don't know, but then we move to the complete idiot's guide to being psychic.

Oh, hell yeah.

You would think wouldn't exist.

But let me tell you.

I think it's easier for them.

They shouldn't have named it that.

I'm just going to tell you in

the reviews.

The exist it says idiots and psychics just don't mix.

If a book is marketed for idiots and aimed at idiots,

what would make anyone of average intelligence buy it?

This book tries to redefine

zombies.

You know, it's just kind of like, it's a different way of saying kind of like a, it's a tongue-in-cheek kind of way of saying beginners, people with zero knowledge on a, on a subject.

It's not, they're not actually calling you an idiot.

I wouldn't buy it.

I wouldn't buy it because I'm not an idiot.

It's insulting.

Yeah, it's disrespectful.

But they're not calling him an idiot.

Four idiots.

Yeah, but again, I think you guys are familiar with it as well.

You know, the four dummies series was very popular in culture for a long time, you know.

I don't care for it.

I don't care for it.

It's disrespectful.

He goes, this book tries to redefine being psychic as being a good guesser.

That's what it is.

And says the traditional mind-reading view of a psychic is unrealistic.

I had to put this book down after the first few chapters because it was just too hard to stomach all that garbage in one sitting.

I eventually read the rest of the book.

I love it.

I put it down halfway through because I couldn't stand it, but then I finished.

It was making me feel physically sick.

But also, like, it is kind of weird.

Why would you read this if you weren't, if you had the knowledge?

Like, if you knew the stuff, it's clearly marketed for different people.

Right.

This person is basically saying, like,

this book is talking down to me by saying that magic isn't real.

How dare it?

Yeah.

He goes,

this book is for the complete beginner.

Anyone who's ever read any other book on being psychic need not even try to get anything out of this one.

Yeah, that's exactly.

yes

it's it's it's what it means it's what it's for

all i would recommend it for is a good reference book that has lots of subjects crammed into one book but not much information on any of them plus the whole book has this underlying tone of peace love happiness and god

that i just don't think mixes with the general attitude i have a psychic I have as a psychic.

Most of the methods involve the stereotypical envision the soothing white light surrounding you advice and promote the idea that one cannot develop psychic powers without a spirit guide and love for all things.

If you're serious about wanting to be psychic, this book will only give you bad habits and worse ideas about what to do.

And this isn't to mention the shameless plugs of other books in the idiot series they work into the text and the fact that most of the web links in the reference section are outdated or moved.

They went for the reference links in it.

Yeah, they type that shit in manually.

And again, this is like you're telling, you're saying you are a psychic and you bought this idiot's guide beginner's psychic book and you are like

you are like reading the references and going online and searching every single that's this this person just is uh has a lot way too much time

you'd have a better chance of developing psychic abilities if you stood in the field holding a golf club and waiting for lightning to hit you Probably.

No, you're right.

You are right about that.

That's the truest thing you said.

That would at least get you more likely to post on r/slash psychic for sure.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

This is a very old review from 1999, but this is from, I can read, I'm reading the email address because dmurphy at hamptons.com is like the name on it.

And he goes, this book is loaded with enthusiastic endorsements for topics ranging from the highly dubious to the abjectly false.

The authors offer us their uncritical acceptance of firewalking, Carillion photography as proof of auras, therapeutic touch, and a host of other such frivolities as genuine paranormal phenomena.

Praise is also given to obvious charlatans such as Yuri Geller, Gene Dixon.

Yuri Geller.

Sorry, he's one of the guys who was that famously found out by Randy.

Randy exposed his ass.

Is Yuri Geller the one with the crazy hair?

Yeah, I think so.

He's the one who's the one that Bennington was.

messed with.

Yeah,

he was like one of those guys who would, you know, do the thing of talking to your dead relatives or whatever.

I think he was one of the first ones who did that one.

Because what can we expect next from these authors?

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Purchasing the Brooklyn Bridge?

That's funny.

That's pretty good.

And

to end the show, Snobbert gives it three stars.

Snobbert?

In it, Snobbert.

When I first read the reviews about this book, I figured I would achieve an abundance of information out of it.

After purchasing and reading the book, I found that it does contain contain some basic information about the subject of psychic phenomena.

However, reading this book would feel more like reading a children's book to those who prefer intellectual reading.

I guess this is why the series is called The Complete Idiot's Guide.

For all those who know little or nothing about psychic phenomena and have trouble understanding other books that cover it, I would recommend this book.

So he just said, if you're an idiot,

this is incredible that like these people seem to have more of like the psychic stuff is not like the obstacle for them.

It's the idiot part.

Like, that's what they're stuck on.

They're so obsessed with the, it's the complete, it would be like buying a four dummies book and then getting insulted by it.

Yeah, that's the exact same, of course.

I mean, it's the exact same.

This is for idiots now.

Like, they're just totally not understanding the concept.

It's like, has to be a really easy concept to understand because it's for idiots, you know?

Do you think they don't understand it?

I think they don't really understand.

I mean, that one person definitely didn't.

The person who's like, why would they say it's a book for idiots?

You're only going to get idiots who are reading it.

Like, that person definitely didn't understand it.

Yeah.

I get it.

All right.

Well, that is psychic, guys.

Kath, tell people where to find you.

I accidentally deleted my Twitter, so you should follow me again because I got back on there with no followers because I'm a dumbass at Kath Barbadoro.

Brian knows my pain.

I have two podcasts.

One of them is called What a Time to Be Alive.

It comes out every Monday.

The other one is called Lie, Cheat, and Steal.

It comes out every Thursday.

And I do stand-up comedy in New York City.

If you're around, you should come.

I don't know when this is coming out.

Go to my social media and you will see my shows.

I believe October 6th.

Okay.

Yeah, I'm not sure what I'm going to have then, but probably some great stuff.

That's cool.

You do stand-up.

You want to chop it up for 25 or 20 years?

No, I'm going to go.

No, it's October 8th, I think, is when it comes, or wait, maybe the first.

Yeah, uh, uh, so yeah, we, you know, Chris has done stand-up once or twice in his life, and I don't talk about it.

How did it go?

You don't like to talk about it?

How did it go?

I mean, whatever.

It was okay.

But I, I, no, I did stand up.

I used to do a couple things.

So I do like to sort of chop it up with fellow stand-ups who have tread the board.

Yeah, we could talk riffs or whatever, callbacks, or whatever you want to do.

But or Brian, you got to go somewhere.

I got to go read the chive.

Ah, good call.

See you all next week with.

Oh, you know what next week is, Chris?

No, bird guys.

Oh,

with

should we say it?

Yeah, say it.

Joe Parra.

He will be on guide.

Hell yeah.

We'll talk about bird guys.

So we'll see you all next week.

And it's October when this comes out.

So have fun with that.

Goodbye.

Bye-bye.
