Speaker 1 (00:00):
Our next guest, who is one of early two thousands
TV's most famous personalities thanks to the worldwide success of
his show, crossing over with John Edward, author and psychic
medium John Edward. Thanks for coming on.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Thanks for having you guys. I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
I sometimes wonder if Clark Kent kept his identity secret
because he didn't want people knowing about his X ray vision.
You know, you're having a conversation with him. You don't
need to be distracted and thinking about that. The problem
when people, I imagine, have a conversation with you and you
tell me, do you get the impression that they feel

(00:38):
like you're looking into their soul?

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Some people do. I've had that experience, and I remember
when I first started doing my television show when I
met some of the producers for the first time, and
I had like two or three people confess things to me.
Is the best way I could say it? And they
would do it in the same way. They'd be like, well,
you probably already know so, and then they would tell

(01:01):
me stuff. I would laugh and be like, Okay, well
it doesn't it doesn't work like that, but I will
keep your secret.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Does it get really annoying? Though on the street or
at dinner parties or at Christmas with the family when
people are asking you to do readings and you just
want to have a good time. I imagine it's like
a doctor when they're at a dinner party and they
just get people going, hey, can you tell me what
this rash is? Like, I'm sure that happens to you
all the time.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yeah, it kind of does. And my rule is like,
once I get there, I say I have ninety minutes
on the clock before I have to leave any function,
and people like ninety minutes, and I said, yep, it
takes ninety minutes for the alcohol to hit people's system
in order for them to get brazen and silly. So
I was like, I got ninety minutes and then I'm

(01:47):
out smart.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
I imagine it's look, it's more of a blessing than
a curse. But in the next breath, have you ever
found yourself in a position where someone hasn't necessarily asked
for something, but you feel like you need to tell
them thing you can feel and see something coming.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
You know, There's been moments where I've seen stuff where
if it's in my circle of friends and family, I
may try to lately engage in a conversation that could
be helpful for them, so that if they want to
talk about something, they can. But I really have to
be respectful from an ethics standpoint. If nobody's asking me,
it's really not appropriate for me to enter into that

(02:25):
kind of conversation because they're not asking, So I can't
really overstep from an ethical standpoint.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Well on that. There are a lot of skeptics out there,
people who don't necessarily believe that you're able to talk
to people who have passed. But is it important to
have those skeptics out there? Is that something that you
know it's always it's inevitable, But is that something that
you actually enjoy dealing with?

Speaker 2 (02:52):
You know? I do, And let me explain to you why,
because there's where I want most people to weigh in on,
and I want them to be skeptical. People to be skeptical.
I want them to be skeptical everywhere in their lives.
And that's called critical thinking. You want to look for
information and validation about whatever it is, whether it be
from your doctor, your lawyer, your psychic, or your whomever.

(03:12):
And then there's cynicism. So I think cynicism is negative,
and cynicism gets in the way of people progressing in
their lives because it's not going to make them a
seeker or an explorer. And if you're not seeking and exploring,
then that's not going to lead to discovery and you're
going to get stuck and stagnant. So I think cynicism
is bad, but I think skepticism is healthy. So I

(03:33):
kind of differentiate it that way. And I'm skeptical, like
I don't just meet other people in the field and
be like, oh, yay, we're part of the same, you know,
kind of circle, unless I see somebody's validation. And I've
seen by the way, I've seen people who have tremendous
success and big followings on social media who I think
are full of it when it comes to being able

(03:55):
to deliver what they say they can deliver. And I
always want people to not be impressed by somebody who's
got three million followers on social media. Not be impressed
because somebody writes the book. Don't be impressed because they're
on TV. Be impressed when you see them actually do
what they say they can do. And it's not performative,
it's not emotional, but it's factual. Wow.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Skeptic or believer, there is no debating that what you've
achieved is extraordinary and rare, and we're lucky to have
you coming to can. We're playing the Erindale Theater Tuesday,
