Penn & Teller: Bull! 1x1

1. HARRY, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

2. IS CONTINUING,

3. A RESURGENCE.

4. SEE? ANYONE CAN TALK TO THE DEAD.

5. GETTING AN ANSWER,

6. THAT'S THE HARD PART.

7. BULLSHIT.

8. I'M PENN, THIS IS MY PARTNER TELLER,

9. AND THIS IS BULLSHIT.

10. THAT'S THE NAME OF OUR SHOW.

11. WE'RE GOING TO HUNT DOWN

12. OF BULLSHIT AS WE CAN.

13. SURE, WE LIE, CHEAT, AND SWINDLE.

14. WE'VE BEEN KNOWN TO DEAL IN A BIT OF BULLSHIT OURSELVES.

15. SO SOME OF YOU MAY ASK,

16. "WHY PEE ON SOMEONE ELSE'S PARADE?"

17. WE TELL YOU WE'RE LYING.

18. YOU'LL NOTICE MORE OBSCENITY THAN WE USUALLY USE.

19. THAT'S NOT JUST BECAUSE IT'S ON SHOWTIME,

20. SOME ATTENTION.

21. IT'S ALSO A LEGAL MATTER.

22. LIARS AND QUACKS,

23. AND LOSE A LOT OF ONE'S MONEY.

24. BUT "MOTHERFUCKERS" AND "ASSHOLES" IS PRETTY SAFE.

25. IF WE SAID IT WAS ALL SCAMS, WE COULD ALSO BE IN TROUBLE.

26. BUT BULLSHIT, ODDLY,

27. IS SAFE.

28. THE BULLSHIT LANGUAGE.

29. WE'RE TRYING TO TALK

30. MOTHERFUCKERS.

31. TONIGHT, WE START WITH

32. WITH THE DEAD.

33. HOW MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE.

34. WOW!

35. IS THAT TRUE? YES.

36. IT'S THE HOTTEST THING IN AMERICA.

37. COMMUNICATE WITH THE DEAD.

38. I FEEL I'M— I GOT YOUR MOTHER HERE TRYING TO COMMUNICATE.

39. WHY DO I GET AN "O" AND A "G" LIKE GEORGIA?

40. MY UNCLE. HIS NAME WAS GEORGE.

41. ROSEMARY ALTEA...

42. ARE 2 OF THE BIGGEST

43. IN THE PSYCHIC WORLD.

44. TO YOU IN SOME WAY.

45. SOMEBODY CLOSE TO YOU?

46. A VERY GOOD FRIEND.

47. SO, I KEEP CATCHING GLIMPSES...

48. OF A YOUNG GIRL.

49. YES.

50. AROUND A LOT.

51. YEAH, HE WAS ALWAYS DRIVING.

52. VERY SIMPLY, "SON,

53. "YOU MUSTN'T CRY FOR ME.

54. WITH YOUR LIFE."

55. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

56. TO DEPARTED LOVED ONES.

57. THAT WAS AMAZING FOR ME.

58. INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE, ACTUALLY.

59. TOTALLY AMAZED. REALLY AMAZED.

60. AND WHEN THERE'S THIS MUCH POWERFUL EMOTION,

61. YOU CAN BET THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY TO BE MADE,

62. WITH BOOKS, TAPES, PERSONAL APPEARANCES,

63. AND NOW, 2 HIT TV SHOWS,

64. JOHN EDWARD...

65. AND JAMES VAN PRAAGH.

66. THEIR MASSIVE INCOMES A WELL-GUARDED SECRET,

67. THESE 2 SELF-PROCLAIMED MEDIUMS INSIST THAT THEY'RE PLYING THEIR TRADE

68. THEIR FELLOW MAN.

69. John Edward: I DON'T SEE MYSELF AS BEING A CELEBRITY AT ALL.

70. I SEE MYSELF AS A SERVANT.

71. I PROVIDE A SERVICE.

72. THAT'S HOW I SEE MYSELF.

73. IS NO DEATH,

74. IS ELIMINATED.

75. WOULDN'T IT BE A SIN

76. WITH PEOPLE?

77. BUT WOULDN'T IT BE AN EVEN BIGGER SIN IF IT WERE ALL FAKE?

78. AND DECEPTION.

79. I'M JOE NICKELL.

80. I'M A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR.

81. IF WE'RE VOTING, UH,

82. TO BELIEVE THAT WE CAN TALK TO THE DEAD?

83. I VOTE YES. I'M FOR IT.

84. IS IT REALLY SO,

85. WHETHER YOU'RE REALLY TALKING TO THE DEAD,

86. IS SIMPLY PRETENDING TO TALK TO THE DEAD?

87. LET'S START OUT

88. THEIR STUFF.

89. TO MY RIGHT SIDE,

90. THAT SHE'S REALLY...

91. AND OUT THERE.

92. YES. BUT...

93. IT'S A—IT'S A MOTHER-SON CONNECTION HERE.

94. AND IT'S SUCH

95. TO GET IT RIGHT.

96. SO I FEEL I'M—

97. TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU.

98. OK? YES.

99. NOW SHE'S MOVING INTO

100. SHE'S-UPSET-WITH-YOU MODE BECAUSE...

101. YOU'RE AT A STANDSTILL

102. CAN'T SEEM TO MOVE ON AND TO MOVE FORWARD,

103. AND SHE'S REALLY, REALLY UPSET ABOUT THIS.

104. YES.

105. VERY SIMPLY,

106. "SON, YOU MUSTN'T CRY FOR ME.

107. WITH YOUR LIFE."

108. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

109. WOW.

110. AND DEAD MOTHER.

111. HI. I'M MARK. NICE TO MEET YOU.

112. HOW MARK EDWARD,

113. TO JOHN EDWARD,

114. OF THIS WOMAN'S LATE FATHER-IN-LAW.

115. YOU KNOW, I—I—I DO PICK UP THIS PERSON.

116. TO DO WITH WATER?

117. UH, HE LIKED THE WATER.

118. BUT DID HE FISH?

119. YEAH, HE FISHED.

120. HE FISHED. 'CAUSE I FEEL LIKE...

121. HE FELT CLOSEST TO GOD.

122. YEP. IS THAT TRUE?

123. THAT'S THE TRUTH.

124. SO THERE YOU GO.

125. COULD YOU STAND UP PLEASE?

126. PICK UP ON 2 SETS OF PARENTS

127. DIED TRAGICALLY.

128. GLIMPSES OF...

129. A YOUNG GIRL.

130. YES.

131. I DON'T SEE HER CLEARLY YET AT ALL,

132. A YOUNG LADY, AND, UM...

133. SHE TOOK HER OWN LIFE.

134. ONE MINUTE, SHE WAS THERE—

135. YES.

136. AND...

137. THEN SHE WAS GONE.

138. HAVE DONE ANYTHING TO PREVENT THIS.

139. THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU'RE VERY WELCOME.

140. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

141. WOW. THESE PSYCHICS

142. AMAZING TALENTS.

143. THIS PARTY,

144. AND GODDAMN IT, WE'RE GOING TO BUST IT UP,

145. VERY CLEAR WHERE OUR HEARTS ARE.

146. OF THE DEATH OF A LOVED ONE.

147. THAT GUY WHO LOST HIS MOM...

148. RIPS MY HEART OUT.

149. I'M A MOMMA'S BOY WHOSE MOM DIED A COUPLE YEARS AGO,

150. AND I'LL—I'LL NEVER GET OVER IT.

151. AT AROUND THE SAME TIME,

152. TO BOTH OF THEM.

153. I LOVED THEM SO MUCH,

154. THERE ISN'T A MOMENT THAT GOES BY THAT I DON'T MISS THEM.

155. HOUDINI DIDN'T

156. UNTIL HE LOST HIS MOM.

157. ONCE YOU'VE FELT THAT PURE GRIEF,

158. CAN...

159. YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR.

160. ONCE A LOVED ONE HAS DIED,

161. OUR MEMORIES OF THEM.

162. THERE'S NOTHING MORE

163. OF MY MOM AND DAD.

164. WE DON'T GIVE A RAT'S ASS

165. FROM THE GRIEF-STRICKEN.

166. OF MEMORIES.

167. ARE, IN A VERY REAL SENSE,

168. MOTHERFUCKERS.

169. THAT POOR GUY'S

170. BY SOMEBODY ELSE'S IMAGES.

171. HAVE LEFT OF HIS MOM ARE MEMORIES,

172. PISSED ON THOSE FOR A BUCK AND A LITTLE UNEARNED FAME.

173. I'M SURE THESE LAME FUCKS

174. THEY'RE EASING THE GRIEF,

175. REPLACE LOVING MEMORIES.

176. TO EXPLOIT SOMEONE'S TRUE GRIEF TO SELL SOME BULLSHIT BOOK?

177. FORTUNATELY, THERE ARE REPUTABLE ORGANIZATIONS,

178. CENTER FOR INQUIRY,

179. SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIONS OF PARANORMAL CLAIMS.

180. I'M JAMES UNDERDOWN,

181. OF THE CENTER FOR INQUIRY WEST.

182. TO PSYCHIC ABILITY.

183. EVERY SINGLE THING THEY DO.

184. TONY ORTEGA, A JOURNALIST FOR THE LOS ANGELES NEW TIMES,

185. OF PSYCHICS AND THEIR SO-CALLED GIFT.

186. REQUIRE ANY KIND OF SUPERNATURAL ELEMENT.

187. IT'S JUST A SKILL THAT USES, UH,

188. UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT YOUR SUBJECTS WANT,

189. AND GIVING IT TO THEM.

190. IN ORDER TO FOOL PEOPLE,

191. OF PROVEN TECHNIQUES.

192. CALLED "COLD READING."

193. IT'S AN ARTFUL METHOD

194. THAT YOU'RE GETTING

195. SUPERNATURAL SOURCE,

196. TALKING.

197. AGAIN, I HATE TO SAY THIS, SOMEBODY COACHED HIM.

198. HE'S TALKING ABOUT BEING COACHED.

199. THEY PSYCHIC INVARIABLY MAKES A LOT OF GUESSES.

200. THE MORE GUESSES YOU MAKE,

201. OF MAKING ACCURATE GUESSES.

202. AND A BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE.

203. IN COLD READING, YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW

204. THE PERSON.

205. THEY COME IN COLD. YOU DON'T KNOW THEM FROM ADAM.

206. THE HOT READING IS, OF COURSE, WHEN YOU CHEAT.

207. INSTANCES,

208. EXTREMELY ACCURATE, EXTREMELY SPECIFIC GUESSES,

209. UM, OUR ANTENNAE GO UP A LITTLE BIT MORE FOR THAT,

210. THAT THEY'RE DOING A HOT READING,

211. WHICH IS THAT THEY'VE DONE

212. ON THE PERSON IN ADVANCE,

213. WITH THEIR FRIEND FOR 10 MINUTES,

214. SOME INFORMATION THERE.

215. SO THAT'S BEEN KNOWN TO HAPPEN AS WELL.

216. IT'S EITHER "ALEC" OR "ALAN."

217. IS THE SO-CALLED SHOTGUN APPROACH.

218. WITH A LARGER AUDIENCE.

219. WHO'S EDDIE? ED, EDWARD, OR EDDIE?

220. ASK QUESTIONS. THE QUESTION TRICK, I CALL IT.

221. WITH SOMETHING—LOOK VERY KNOWING AND SAY,

222. "WHO'S MARY?"

223. "WHO'S MARY?"

224. MAY VOLUNTEER THEN AND LATER SAY,

225. "YOU KNOW, HE TOLD ME MY MOTHER'S NAME WAS MARY."

226. NO, NO. IT WAS A QUESTION.

227. MAKE SURE THAT HE GETS THE MOST POSSIBLE HITS,

228. ATTENDING ONE OF HIS TAPINGS.

229. HE WAS ALWAYS THE TEACHER, NO MATTER HOW SICK HE WAS.

230. ALWAYS THE TEACHER.

231. ALWAYS THE TEACHER.

232. THAT P.T. BARNUM MADE FAMOUS IN THE 1800s—

233. PEOPLE WANT TO BE FOOLED.

234. AN INITIAL—"I'M GETTING A J SOUNDING NAME LIKE JAMES OR JOHN,"

235. WHO ARE BELIEVERS WILL PICK THAT UP,

236. SUPPLY THE INFORMATION, FILL IN THE BLANKS,

237. BY IT.

238. THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE CORRECT ABOUT,

239. BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY'VE COME FOR.

240. THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR.

241. MAKE A LOT MORE MISSES THAN HITS,

242. DON'T SEEM TO WORRY ABOUT THESE MISSES.

243. THEY FORGET THE MISSES.

244. AND EXAGGERATE THE HITS,

245. SO IT'S A SURE-FIRE TECHNIQUE.

246. YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE MISSES

247. ARE NOT MISSES.

248. TO SAY I AM NOT 100% ACCURATE.

249. I'LL COME OUT HERE AND SAY IT ALL THE TIME.

250. I'LL BE LIKE, THIS IS HOW I GET IT.

251. I SEE IT, HEAR IT, FEEL IT.

252. I'M GONNA DO MY BEST JOB I POSSIBLY CAN TO INTERPRET IT FOR YOU.

253. SOMETIMES I GET IT RIGHT,

254. SOMETIMES I GET IT WRONG,

255. BUT I GET IT.

256. OH, YEAH, WE GET IT.

257. LIKE YOU'RE WRONG,

258. IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT

259. ARE TOO STUPID TO FIGURE IT OUT.

260. EVER WRONG?

261. TALKING TO THE DEAD,

262. GET IT EVEN SLIGHTLY WRONG?

263. WHILE THEY'RE COMMUNICATING

264. THEY CAN'T FOLLOW THE CONVERSATION?

265. WHEN THEY GET TO THE DETAILS?

266. TO BE SURE...

267. WHY WOULDN'T MOM REMEMBER HER MIDDLE NAME?

268. MOM, WHO WAS LUCID, SMART, AND FUNNY

269. OF HER OWN NAME?

270. SOMEHOW PLAYING CHARADES?

271. WHAT'S THAT, GRANDPA? MOVIE! MOVIE!

272. "PULL YOUR EAR"!

273. SOUNDS LIKE "EAR"! SOUNDS LIKE "EAR"!

274. DUCK, DUCK, DUCK, SHOE!

275. PSYCHE! FUCK! FUCK YOU!

276. GRANDPA!

277. SO MUCH, WE HAVE TO SPIT.

278. PTOOEY!

279. I GOT SOME ON HERE.

280. HER HANDS UP.

281. THESE OTHER GUYS ON TV,

282. AND I GET PISSED.

283. YOU KNOW, THEY'RE EXPLOITING

284. AND FRIENDS.

285. THEY'RE MAKING A TON OF MONEY AT IT,

286. AND IT'S ALL BULLSHIT,

287. SO I GET PISSED OFF, AND I WANT TO GO OUT AN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

288. OF JAMES VAN PRAAGH'S SHOW.

289. IT'S MORE THAN WE COULD DO.

290. THAN THE PENTAGON.

291. WITH PEOPLE,

292. FROM THEM.

293. WELL, HE DID COME BACK

294. BEEN ESTABLISHED EARLIER IN A CONVERSATION.

295. Van Praagh, on tape: I WILL TELL YOU THIS...

296. EVEN SO, ACCORDING TO OUR EYEWITNESSES,

297. ONCE THE TAPING BEGAN, THINGS DIDN'T GO SO WELL.

298. I WAS VERY UNIMPRESSED.

299. VERY POOR AT DOING HIS READINGS.

300. IT WAS FAIRLY COMICAL.

301. I COULDN'T SEE HOW THEY

302. HE WAS DOING.

303. WAS SO BAD.

304. THE AIRED VERSIONS OF THE SHOWS WE OBSERVED,

305. WE ALL SAT AROUND AND SAID,

306. "WHOA, WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS WHOLE SECTION?

307. "WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT WHOLE SECTION?

308. AND THAT WHOLE PART."

309. SITTING IN THE AUDIENCE.

310. SHOW'S LIKE JOHN EDWARD'S ARE USUALLY DONE FOR ABOUT,

311. SAY, THEY TAPE TWO HOURS AND EDIT DOWN TO LESS THAN ONE HOUR.

312. SO YOU JUST, ALL THAT STUFF ENDS UP ON THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR.

313. OF THE SHOWS?

314. HAVE TO SIGN.

315. VAN PRAAGH'S RELEASE FORM IS GIGANTIC.

316. I HAVE EVER SEEN.

317. THIS NONDISCLOSURE CLAUSE.

318. WHAT ARE THEY SO AFRAID OF?

319. IT'S UNUSUAL IN THAT WAY,

320. INSIDE OF THAT STUDIO.

321. TO ATTEND ONE OF JOHN EDWARD'S

322. HOW THESE GUYS OPERATE.

323. EXCUSE ME, SIR, I'M SORRY.

324. TO BE VIDEOTAPED, SIR.

325. MAY YOU LEAVE THE PREMISES?

326. UNFORTUNATELY, HIS PEOPLE WEREN'T INTERESTED

327. SEE WHAT WENT ON INSIDE.

328. THE GROUP DOESN'T WANT.

329. THEY DON'T WANT IT TO BE VIDEOTAPED.

330. HOWEVER, SINCE THIS AUDIENCE DIDN'T SIGN RELEASES,

331. FIRST-HAND ACCOUNTS OF WHAT REALLY HAPPENED.

332. COULD APPLY TO MANY, MANY, MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

333. IT'S ALMOST THE SAME STORY OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

334. ANYBODY COULD DO IT.

335. I'M A SKEPTIC GOING IN,

336. AND I'M STILL A SKEPTIC GOING OUT.

337. LET'S TAKE

338. PULL OFF THEIR BULLSHIT.

339. ABOUT THIS WOMAN'S FATHER-IN-LAW?

340. WELL, YOU KNOW, I DO PICK UP THIS PERSON.

341. TO DO WITH WATER?

342. UH, HE LIKED THE WATER.

343. DID HE FISH?

344. YEAH, HE FISHED.

345. HE FISHED.

346. REALLY DID.

347. ANYTHING LIKE THAT?

348. WATER?

349. UH, HE LIKED THE WATER.

350. IT WASN'T HIS MAIN INTEREST, BUT HE LIKED IT.

351. WHOA! HE STRUCK OUT ON SHIPS,

352. AND WATER WASN'T THE GUY'S MAIN INTEREST,

353. BUT MARK'S GOT HIS FOOT IN THE DOOR WITH THE WATER ANGLE.

354. NOW WATCH HIM GO FOR IT.

355. OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT?

356. NO.

357. OH, TOO BAD. THAT'S A MISS.

358. BUT DID HE FISH?

359. YEAH, HE FISHED.

360. HE FISHED, 'CAUSE...

361. HOW ABOUT THAT? THE GUY LIKED TO FISH!

362. AROUND ENOUGH FOR AN ANSWER,

363. YOU'RE BOUND TO GET SOMETHING RIGHT.

364. BUT GUESS WHAT?

365. I HAVE, AS FAR AS I KNOW,

366. WHATSOEVER.

367. MARK'S ACTUALLY ON OUR SIDE.

368. HE'S A REFORMED CON ARTIST WHO USED TO WORK AS A PSYCHIC.

369. Mark Edward: IT'S ALL SHOWBIZ.

370. IT'S ALL CARNIVAL KNOWLEDGE.

371. PEOPLE'S WHOLE LIFE

372. THE SIMPLEST MAGIC TRICK.

373. ROSEMARY ALTEA.

374. WHO THOUGHT HE HAD CONTACTED HIS LATE MOTHER?

375. WHO IS STANDING TO MY RIGHT SIDE,

376. THAT SHE'S REALLY TALKATIVE AND PUSHY

377. AND OUT THERE.

378. YES.

379. BUT IT'S A MOTHER-SON CONNECTION HERE,

380. AND IT'S

381. TO GET IT RIGHT.

382. SO I FEEL I'VE GOT

383. WITH YOU, OK?

384. YES.

385. HMM, HOW'D SHE KNOW THAT THIS POOR GUY'S MOTHER

386. WAS GONNA COME THROUGH?

387. WELL, I THINK THAT IF WE LOOK AT THE TAPE AGAIN,

388. IN THE AUDIENCE,

389. STARTS IMMEDIATELY.

390. WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME,

391. WHO DO YOU WANT TO CONNECT WITH?

392. WHO DO YOU WANT TO CONNECT WITH?

393. YOUR MOTHER?

394. YEP, SHE GATHERED ALL THE INFORMATION SHE NEEDED,

395. SO WHEN SHOWTIME ARRIVED, SHE WAS READY FOR ACTION.

396. SO I FEEL I'VE GOT

397. WITH YOU, OK?

398. YES.

399. TRIES TO DESCRIBE THE MOTHER'S PERSONALITY,

400. A MISS INTO A HIT.

401. THAT SHE'S, FOR SOME REASON OR ANOTHER, A LITTLE NERVOUS.

402. UM...

403. DOESN'T RESPOND TO "NERVOUS,"

404. TURNS IT AROUND.

405. YES. WHICH IS SO NOT LIKE HER BECAUSE SHE'S REALLY...

406. AND OUT THERE.

407. YES.

408. NICE SAVE!

409. AND SHORT, TOO?

410. NOW LET'S TAKE ANOTHER LOOK

411. THEIR YOUNG DAUGHTERS.

412. ONE MINUTE SHE WAS THERE...

413. YES.

414. AND THEN SHE WAS GONE.

415. SHE TOOK HER OWN LIFE.

416. WITH THE DAUGHTER WHO COMMITTED SUICIDE.

417. VERY SAD STORY.

418. IT WAS A SUICIDE?

419. 'CAUSE SUICIDE

420. YOU WANT TO, UH, BE WRONG ABOUT.

421. AN EXPLANATION,

422. AND THERE WAS.

423. OF OUR BEING HERE.

424. AND WHO'S JONI?

425. ROSEMARY'S LITERARY AGENT.

426. THAT'S RIGHT. SHE WORKS FOR ROSEMARY.

427. COULD BRING PEOPLE TO THE TAPING.

428. SUSPECTING A SETUP, WE AGREED.

429. Mark Edward: IT TURNS OUT, YOU KNOW,

430. HER LITERARY AGENT'S BEST FRIENDS.

431. SO, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THAT TOOK THE AIR OUT OF THAT ONE.

432. THE OTHER BEREAVED PARENTS?

433. WELL, WHAT DO YOU KNOW?

434. BROUGHT THEM TO THE EVENT, TOO.

435. SUPPLIES THE CLIENTS.

436. SHE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT.

437. SHE DID?

438. AS I'M TALKING TO YOU LIKE THIS,

439. I'M SEEING A MAN WHO IS STANDING BY YOUR SIDE.

440. UM...

441. QUITE BROAD SET, BIG, VERY BLACK, VERY BIG,

442. ON HIS FACE AS I'M TALKING TO YOU.

443. BIT OF A TUMMY. NICE TUMMY ON HIM.

444. HE DOESN'T HAVE NEARLY AS MUCH HAIR AS YOU HAVE.

445. BACK FROM HIS HEAD.

446. PRIOR TO HIS PASSING.

447. HE JUST WENT BANG, JUST LIKE THAT, OVER AND DONE WITH.

448. ON YOUR SHOULDER AS I'M TALKING TO YOU.

449. WHEN YOU WERE A BOY,

450. AS HIS BOY, OK?

451. CONFUSING YOU?

452. YEAH.

453. WELL, HE'S RIGHT HERE.

454. LET'S JUST KEEP GOING.

455. YEAH, ROSEMARY,

456. SOMEHOW IT'S HIS FAULT,

457. WITH ANOTHER DISEASE.

458. WHO'S STANDING BETWEEN US

459. TO MY LEFT SIDE HERE.

460. HE'S JUST STANDING THERE LOOKING AT ME.

461. HE PASSED WITH CANCER.

462. HE WAS VERY, VERY SICK BEFORE HE DIED.

463. HIS ILLNESS, HE TELLS ME, WAS VERY SLOW.

464. IT SEEMED TO GET BETTER.

465. HE SEEMED TO BE OK,

466. RECOVERING FROM HIS CANCER,

467. AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT CAME UP AGAIN,

468. AND THEN, HE TELLS ME, IT WAS VERY FAST.

469. VERY SPEEDY.

470. WHAT I'M SAYING, DON'T YOU?

471. YEAH, I UNDERSTAND,

472. BUT I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT COULD BE.

473. OK. WELL, HE'S JUST...

474. WELL, OBVIOUSLY, PSYCHICS ARE, WILL BE,

475. BULLSHIT!

476. THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS.

477. ALL THEY'VE DONE

478. AND SKULLS,

479. AND THEY'VE DONE IT, AND THEY'RE DOING IT IN STAGE LIGHT NOW

480. AND ON TELEVISION.

481. WELL, IT MAY HAVE HIT THE BIG TIME,

482. BUT IT'S STILL A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT.

483. CONTINUE TO BELIEVE IN THESE PSYCHIC SCUMBAGS?

484. WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO

485. WHO IS NOW DECEASED?

486. THAT'S A VERY ATTRACTIVE IDEA,

487. AND IF YOU'RE NOT THINKING TOO CRITICALLY ABOUT IT,

488. TO SUCCEED.

489. FOR ME, EMOTIONALLY, SPIRITUALLY.

490. IT'S BENEFICIAL,

491. AND, HOPEFULLY, IT'LL HELP US IN THE FUTURE.

492. IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE FOR ME TODAY.

493. ALWAYS GULLIBLE.

494. THEY'VE NEVER BEEN ANYTHING OTHER THAN GULLIBLE.

495. WANT ANSWERS,

496. THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEONE WHO IS WILLING TO SELL THEM ONE.

497. THEIR OWN BULLSHIT.

498. THEIR OWN MISSES,

499. OR AS JOHN EDWARD,

500. IN THE UNIVERSE, DOES,

501. THAT WE'RE JUST NOT ABLE TO RECOGNIZE.

502. ACCIDENTALLY.

503. THAT DOESN'T MEAN THE PSYCHIC IS A BETTER PERSON.

504. DOES NOT MAKE LYING TO OTHERS OK.

505. AND DANGEROUS.

506. KNOW THEY'RE JUST MAKING THIS SHIT UP

507. PEOPLE'S BUTTONS, THEY TELL THEMSELVES,

508. "AT LEAST I'M COMFORTING THE BEREAVED."

509. IS WHAT THE BEREAVED NEEDS?

510. THAT'S CONDESCENDING BULLSHIT!

511. THERE'S A VERY GOOD REASON

512. THEY'VE GOT TO STOP THESE VICTIMS FROM TALKING AFTER THEY GET OFF THE SHOW.

513. GETS A CHANCE TO THINK,

514. SOME OF THEM FIGURE IT OUT.

515. TO THINK ABOUT IT,

516. PRETTY EASY TO FIGURE.

517. THE ROSEMARY ALTEA BIT FOR THIS SHOW,

518. A GREAT E-MAIL.

519. AS ROSEMARY CLAIMED TO CONTACT HIS MOTHER?

520. TO OUR P&T WEB PAGE.

521. OF PAPER.

522. I'M GONNA READ IT OFF THE PROMPTER.

523. HE DOESN'T NEED TO HEAR WHAT P&T HAVE TO SAY.

524. FROM HIS WIFE,

525. HE'S THERE.

526. HEAR THAT, JOHN EDWARD?

527. YO, VAN PRAAGH!

528. TO SHUT UP THE PEOPLE.

529. WE'RE ALL VULNERABLE,

530. BUT, NO, WE'RE NOT ALL SUCKERS.

531. THE PAIN CAN BE GREAT.

532. WE CAN WANT TO BELIEVE,

533. BUT THERE'S HOPE

534. SOME OF OUR HUMANITY.

535. YOU DON'T HEAL

536. IT'S NOT BROKEN.
