The next episode of the Commercial Break starts now. Oh yeah, Kitten and Kittens, welcome back to the Commercial Break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co-host of this incredibly ad-lib-y-er podcast. Chris, enjoy. All the best to you, Chris. Best to you, Brian.

Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Thanks for joining us. That's my favorite sound. Yeah. I love it. I love it. I do too. Every time I hear that noise, it reminds me of the podcast panel on someone's father

dying while this guy's outside. So bad. It was so bad. All right, so here we are. It's a Friday. So we are going to pick up where we left off with James von Prawe. Who is Prawe? Is it Prawe? Prahg? Oh, maybe it's Prahg. I thought the GH was silent. James Prahg is a telepsychic. That's what he does. He does just like Teresa Caputo. We reviewed some of his cold reading last week.

We're going to finish it up this week. As it is Friday, we do like to break down videos on Friday. So super excited about that. Also like to remind you that it does appear Chrissy and I will be making our way to South Florida central and South Florida in September September 25th and 26th Orlando and Tampa Orlando first then Tampa if you're gonna be in the area if you live in the area if you want to Come to the show. Please do let us know. 212-4333-TCB. Text us and let us know you'll be there. And we're going to have more information on how to get those tickets very soon.

Um, so I just wanted to shout that out. We'll probably be saying that ad nauseam until we actually get there, because if we can sell just six tickets, Chrissy, we're going to fill half the place. Yes. Yeah. We're going to start off small. Yeah. We're going to start off small and then we'll see how many people we can actually get in the place. Yes. Yeah. We're gonna start off small. It's exciting.

Yeah, we're gonna start off small and then we'll see how many people we can actually get in the room. Yeah. It's exciting. It's exciting. It's a whole new experiment. It's a whole new thing for the commercial break

and I don't know exactly how it's gonna go, what we're gonna do or how we'll get there. That's kind of the exciting part. I agree. We are definitely flying without a net on this one. I mean, that is for sure. We'll put something together. We will. Yeah, what are we going to do? I don't feel like this is the right event to invite any special guests, but I have this dream that we're going to be playing like, I don't know,

Madison Square Garden, and we're going to get Frankie B to come out and do a little number for us. Teach us how to make those tuna eggs'll work our way up. Tuna eggs he's so famous for. That'd be awesome. We'll do a cooking demonstration. I would love it, I would love it. Make a smoothie for us, Frank. Take up an hour of our time and make a smoothie for us. Put as much shit as possible into your smoothie.

So anyway, 25th, 26th, Orlando and then Tampa, if you're interested in coming, let us know. And because we'd love to meet you. If you're one of our listeners and we communicate with you, we'd love to meet you, but we have to let security know. So, we'd let security know so that you could get access to us. Right. We'll probably be the two people at the bar drinking, wondering what exactly just happened. Do they give us a tab at those places?

I hope so. Is that negotiated in the contract? I don't know. We need to look back at that. Well, the good news is, like in some instances, they give you a piece of the bar, right? They'll say, okay, you can take 20% of the bar or 30% of the bar. I say we just negotiate 50% of the bar, which essentially means we'll just be drinking at 50% off.

Yes. That's what I say. That sounds like a good deal. I like it. Don't worry about paying us anything. Just give us half-price drinks all night long. We promise it'll be entertaining. For who, I don't know. Probably more for us than them, but that's okay. So, I wanted to shout out to a few of our listeners who have been writing in and calling in, and we just don't do this enough, I feel like, and I wanted to say hello to a couple people out there in the podcast universe who actually have been communicating

pretty frequently, and I do appreciate it. I want to say hi to Sean Morris. We've seen S. Morris on our reviews here and there. I think he changes his review every once in a while and they're always pretty funny. So say hi to Sean here in Georgia, actually. He's down in Georgia. Kirsten Oh, hello Sean. Sean I want to say hello to someone like Darren. Darren and I assume his wife, they were flying through Atlanta. So they let us know that they were coming to Atlanta. It wasn't going to work out that I would actually be able to go and meet them right down at the airport

because Darren may not be aware, but getting to the airport is like an act of Congress. It doesn't matter if it's Saturday at 3 a.m. in the morning, it's going to take you seven hours to get to the airport and it's a big ordeal. And since 9-11, they don't let you actually go into the airport and do anything. Right. But Darren was here and he was kind enough to let us know. Oh. Darren from St. Louis. I want to say hello to Tiffany, who actually found that our possum hatred goes much deeper than the episode just a month ago. She found another episode where we were

talking about possums and our dislike for them. I'm not gonna play that content because I'm getting a little sick and tired at the possum thing, but I did want to say hi to Tiffany. I think I had a dream last night about a possum. Did you really?

Now that I think about it, yeah. Did you really? Now that you brought it up. I saw one when I was walking to Starbucks, I saw one on the side of the road, it was dead, but. Yeah, that's the way you usually see them really. Well, yeah, because they scurry around in the corners and stuff. They walk up against fences.

They're like in the shadows. That's the thing I think that bothers me maybe more than anything is that you never quite know when the possums around. You know what I'm saying? They kind of sneak up on you. They do like the little baby. Yeah, you know, the first thing that you see and the thing that freaks you out the most is those beady little eyes.

Yeah. And they're blind. Yeah, I think.. And they're, aren't they blind? Yeah, I think- I think they're blind, like mostly blind or something like that? Partially. Yeah, evolution hasn't kept up with their, evolution and their eyeballs haven't, you know, married each other. So anyway, want to say hi to Tiffany. And then of course, our good friend Caitlin is always

writing in, love me some Caitlin. And then someone wrote in Spanish to friend, Kaitlyn, is always writing in, love me some Kaitlyn. And then someone wrote in Spanish to us, which I thought was very nice. And I want to make sure I get their name right. Nicole Soule-Nagant They knew that Astrid could translate. Jared Soule-Nagant What's that? Nicole Soule-Nagant They knew that Astrid could translate. Or I guess your phone.

Jared Soule-Nagant Yeah, okay. I want to say hi to Jennifer they knew that Astrid could translate. Or I guess your phone. They knew that Astrid could translate, yeah. Okay, I wanna say hi to Jennifer from Wyoming. I wanna say hi to Bill, Bob, and Darren, another Darren from Chicago. Bill, Bob, and Darren. Thanks for listening, Bill, Bob, and Darren.

Nice. There's three guys from Chicago who keep on texting me. And then a bunch of people from New York are texting me. We have Julia, we have Synth, his name is Synth. Synth, what is your parents' name? You after a 1983 Casio keyboard? Yeah, that's okay. That's kind of weird, huh? There's Karen. Hey Karen, she's from New York. Want to say hi to Ryan and then Ryan from New York and then Ryan Brewster. All these people texting in and saying hello. So I want to just shout out. I don't feel we do that enough. Yeah. I mean, we talk to everybody on the text message, but I don't feel that they get enough

on air love. So I'm going to do that. We have an Ask TCB that I put together. We'll do that next week. And then I think my mom is coming in the first week in July. She'll be on, we'll be on vacation, but we'll run an episode. I can't wait for that vacation. Yeah, mom's doing, you know, mom had an accident, she fell and because of her age and some other things, she ended up in one of these like long-term rehabilitation facilities, which is very nice, it's a lovely place, I mean, lovely-ish, you know, as lovely as it can be.

As a rehab facility is gonna get. And she's doing fine, she's well taken care of, she's fed, roof over her head, the people there are very nice, but it's been a long, slow recovery. She's got a care of. She's fed, roof over her head, the people there are very nice, but it's been a long, slow recovery. She's got a bunch of pins in her leg. I don't have any metal.

Do you have any metal in your body? I don't. You don't have any metal in your body? Okay. I'm getting to that age where I fear I'm going to need some metal in my body. Do you know what I'm saying? Mainly in my penis, but if it goes somewhere else. Penis rod.

They got to have something. I know that people that transition, they can get like one of those balloons inserted where they can pump it up. It's kind of like... The people that transition. People that transition. Like to death? To from female to male.

Oh, I thought you meant transition like out of this world. No, the transition out of this world and then you can... I was confused. As you can see. No, but they have like, I've heard, I haven't seen, but I've heard that they can like, you have a mechanism by which you can pump up the new penis to then get hard. So I imagine I'll get one of those inserted any day now or a metal rod that works on a little servo

That just goes up and down would that be cool? Get on that who's a urologist out there who can help us out with that venture. Oh my god, Chrissy I just heard the noise again. I have to tell you Last night. I was dead asleep. It's like to I was dead asleep. It's like two, hear that? Yep, there it is. It's the smoke detector. It's the fucking smoke detector.

That sneaky noise of the smoke detector is really very, very sneaky. It's sneaky, it's obnoxious. Because it's just beep. And then it's a weirdly long time again before it does it again. It's like you forget about it and then it does it again. Beep.

So here I am, I'm asleep at like 2, 2, 30 in the morning. The whole house is asleep, right? And I wake up and I got my phone pillow and my, and you know, I'm watching something. So, I turn off, like, you know how you wake up sometime and you think you woke up because you heard something, but you, but now you're awake, so you don't know if you heard it or if it's just in your dreams. Well, I wake up and I thought I hear something, but I don't really know what it is. So I turn off the phone and then I just kind of sit there laying down listening. And I'm like, what, what is that? I know you forget about it. Yes. And then it starts accelerating. It's right outside the baby's room.

Baby is dead asleep. Never wake a sleeping baby. And I'm like, oh my God, it's 2 30 in the morning. I have 10 foot ceilings. What am I going to do? Get out a fucking ladder at 2 30 in the morning. Turn on all the lights in the house to figure out what's going on with the alarm Because I know for a fact that if I touch that alarm and I press the test button Oh, yeah, there it is again. It just did it again. I know for a fact if I touch that alarm It's gonna go off and it's gonna go off for like at least a minute, right? Anytime you touch those alarms they go off by default

That's what they're supposed to do. They do. So I'm like, holy fuck. What do I do now? So after a couple more beeps, and now I know it's accelerating, it's letting me know that the battery is low, right? Of course. And so it's accelerating. And so I'm like, oh fuck, I guess the baby's going to wake up. Everybody's going to wake up if I don't do this because it's really fucking loud.

And annoying. And annoying. 2.30 in the morning, Brian in his underwear, gets up, goes into the storage closet, pulls out the ladder, sets it up, turns on as few lights as possible, which is every light in the fucking house, and now this thing is really going. Does it accelerate? It accelerates. Okay.

So now I'm like, fuck. I get up on that ladder and then the second that I touch the button to turn it, to make, to take it off so I can see if I can undo the batteries. Yeah. Oh no. I'm like, oh no, please don't wake up the baby. Your heart starts beating fast. My heart starts beating fast. You're sweating. Yeah, now I'm trying to do all this stuff. And finally, I get the thing, I noticed that there's a button. When I twist it, there's a button and the button says, test silence. So I'm like, okay, that's the thing that I need to, that I need to test. Silence! Silence! So now it's just going off, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da Silence has been pressed. Your monitor will be muted for 12 hours.

In 12 hours your monitor will alert once more. Silence has been pressed. Thank you. Go back to bed now. Give me this whole fucking like shmuel for like a minute and I'm like I'm like standing in front of the baby's room trying to protect her from the sound wave. I'm like no no no no no no no Don't even try it because silence has been pressed In 12 hours, I will bother you again.

And there it was. And there it was. There it goes again. It's your ride on time, about 2.15. That's right. There it is. Look at that. 12 hours later, it starts going. And I knew it. The second I heard it, I was like, yep, she warned me.

In 12 hours, you dumbass, I will say this again. Great. Did anybody wake up? What Oh great, did anybody wake up? What's that? Did anybody wake up? No, nobody woke up. No, luckily nobody woke up. You got away with it. I did, I got away with it.

It only took me about 15 minutes for this whole thing. And then of course I can't go back to fucking sleep because now my mind's going about what am I going to talk about on the show and you know, who's going to call me tomorrow that I owe money to and you know, what's next? What's next? I feel like the older you get, it's just a series of just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I really do feel that way sometimes. I'm like, as you get older, you realize that life does not always roll in your direction. As a matter of fact, it's about 50-50 if you're fucking lucky. And so all I know is I'm just waiting for the other 50%.

If I had like a kind of a good day, I'm like, well, it's gonna be shitty tomorrow, so just break up. No, no. You can't think like that. No, I don't think like that. But when you get woken up at 2 30 in the morning, Your mind just goes there. Your mind goes there because you're like, yep, it starts with the fire alarm. That's where it all starts. Now I just silenced it. The house is going to set on fire in an hour. Right.

It's going to go, there's a fire, but I can't tell you about it because silence has been pressed. Exactly. Oh my God, we had a whole fire alarm situation too. While we were at Jeff's last festival, all of a sudden we're like, I mean, he's in the middle of working, we're in the middle of talking to some people,

all of a sudden he's getting phone calls that the smoke alarm is going off and our daughter was there at the house. Oh really? She didn't know how to turn it off. She's freaking out. She was cooking something, you know, that smoked up. And I mean, we were freaking out.

Did the fire department show up? No, we were able to not get them to show up. But then at like six o'clock in the morning, I started getting a phone call again from the security company. There was the, saying we're gonna send the fire truck. And I'm like, no, don't.

No, yeah. I think everything's okay. No, no, no, no. And they're like, so, but you're telling me you want us to silence it? Yeah. Yes, I'm telling you I want you to silence it. Same thing, but I'm talking to a live person. Silence has been primed.

I'll fix it during the break. Can you listen to what she says? She has this whole announcement. It's crazy. It's insane. All right. So let's do that. Why don't we take a break and when we come back, we're going to finish what

we started last week with James Prawl. There are two A's. Yeah, there are two A's. So it makes you feel like maybe the GAs. Von Prawl. Von Bullshit. Okay. So we're going to do that and then we'll be back.

And now we're getting ready for live appearances here at the commercial break. And if you're anything like me, you start thinking about vacation, you start thinking about what you're gonna wear, you need new clothes, you need new threads. To impress all those people who have no idea who you are and will never see you again, it's baked into my brain.

I want new clothes when I go somewhere new. Well over the last couple of weeks, I've found out about and shopped at quince.com. Quince partners directly with top factories to cut out the middleman and bring the savings right to you. Example, I got a pair of European drawstring shorts. I love them, they're so comfortable.

It is hard to believe that half the year is gone and each year seems to go by faster and faster but at this halfway point I think it's a good time to stop look at some of the accomplishments and of course it's also important to check in and see what kind of progress I can make for the other half of the year. One of the people who's been instrumental in helping me do this and stay focused on the tasks that feel important in my life is my therapist. We talk about therapy a lot here on the show. Chrissy and I are big proponents of it. We do not shy away from sharing our excitement around therapy because it really does work. Therapy can help you

smooth out the rough spots in your life, but it can also be a place where you can stop for an hour and think about the things that you are doing right. I've said it before and I'll say it again, therapy is awesome in the bad times, it is awesome in the good times, and everything in between. And so if you're thinking about starting therapy or you've had therapy in the past and maybe you're thinking about re-engaging a therapist, might I suggest you try our sponsor BetterHelp?

I had been getting a lot of, not a lot of, but I had been getting some people who had

been writing in saying, you know, Teresa Caputo may not be, you know, the psychic that does it the best, or you might not believe her, yeah, she might be a fraud, but there are certainly other people who do do this, you know, they do it well. And I asked for some examples and I got a couple of responses. None of them were James Van Praagh, but James Van Praagh, but I'm telling you right now, why I wanted to bring this video out is because I'm telling you right now that this cold reading bullshit is a circus trick. It's a parlor trick. That's all it is.

It's like magic. It's sleight of hand. It is right beneath your nose. We've talked about this at Nausium, right beneath your nose. These people just- Yeah, if you go broad enough, you're going to hit something. Talk fast enough. Don't allow people to respond in a way that makes you seem like you're faking it.

If you just roll them over and keep going, keep going, keep going, eventually you're going to hit on something. Like, did your mother go to church? I mean, how many mothers went to church? Almost all of them, right? I got to imagine a lot of them went to church. And this guy last week, he did the same thing and he's not doing it very well because unconvincing, unconvinced, excuse me, these people are. Most of these people who he's talked to so far are just looking at him like he's got four eyes. They don't know what the fuck he's talking about. Yeah, I mean, he's hitting on a couple of things that are right, but they're so general. He's also making generalized, like kind of sneaky, racist conversations with people based

on their color. Like you have two fathers. Yeah, you have two fathers. And the lady was like, no, that doesn't resonate. And he's like, okay, okay, we won't talk about that. Yeah, then we won't talk about that. Did you have a father that was out of the picture? And he's talking to a black lady.

It just all feels like grimy and greasy and weird. Anyway, so we're going to repeat it and we're going to go and lady. It just all feels like grimy and greasy and weird. Anyway, so we're gonna repeat it and we're gonna go and listen to more conversation from James Von Brock. Here he is. All right. Well, I guess I should press play.

Oh, maybe I did and I just, it's silenced. There we go. Bend a little, not an accent, but a little problem with the car. Oh, okay. I wanna say this. So James is at a local television station in Chicago doing a cold reading for about 10 people who have quote unquote been randomly selected from the audience, even though they are all dressed very nicely, like they wore their best outfits.

So it's clear to me they knew exactly what was going on before they stepped on this stage. So we're going to listen to the end of this lady that we were hearing last week and then we'll listen to him do some more. You be careful, you can't trust everybody. Now which one of you had a car park, a park, a car problem or a bend or a little... Which one of you ever had a car problem? I just got hit by one. Yeah.

Not an accident, but a little problem with the car. I just got hit by one. Yeah. Not an accident, but a little problem with the car. Your sister. Your sister. My sister. Does anybody ever know anybody that's had any car issues? He's talking to me right now. This is amazing.

He's coming through loud and clear. He says he had a car issue. He had to get the oil change. Anybody ever done an oil change? Yes? No? Okay. Your sister's sister did? Oh, that's wonderful. Well, I'm on fire today. Bye, golly, I'm hot today. Your son, that's what I want to go to. That's okay. That's where I want to go. That's where I want to go to. That's the bullshit I want to dive into. I want to talk about the boy, the boy here. So your name is? Naomi.

Naomi. So your person passed very quickly. I want to say that when he comes in here, he comes right from, your mother brought him through. Your mother brought him through. So I don't know if you guys know each other. Your mother brought him through. He's talking to another woman, the woman he was just talking to, saying your mother brought

him through. Yeah. So now he's asking, do you two know each other? And they're both like, no. This lady, she helped to bring him through. Your boy is helping me through. I feel you have his jacket, you have his shirts. He said you were just looking at my shirt, my t-shirts. You have his clothing. She's his mother. I know.

What do you think? Did you think he would, what was she going to do with it? He took them with him? I mean, come on. Clothes, my jeans, yeah, my jeans. There's something to have that big, big clothes. Some baggy clothes or bigger clothes. That's him.

Right? Oh my God, Chrissy. Baggy clothes. This is like, this is bordering on completely insensitive. Actually, it's not bordering on, it is. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? They're like bigger clothes, bigger clothes.

But that's the sort of thing. And I want to say you have my caps, you have my hats, and you have them all there, and you collect them all. You understand that? And you have like a shrine to him he's talking about. You have my shrine. And I know that if I go in there, I have a photo. Because no one has ever put memorabilia in a small place about someone that has passed

that's close to them. Especially a son. A son. And she's not that old. So it had to be a younger son. Yeah. God. I could do this. I feel like I could do this. I could make a million dollars a year too. A photo.

Career change. It's now called the psychic break. We'll put it in the notebook. Then I have several other little photos. Do you understand that? Yes. And I know you like to also do a little thing with the stuffed animals. Right? Yes. Right? Am I right? You're a little creepy, a little freak in the sheets. Am I right? You've done anal? Huh? Huh? That's what your son is telling me. Stuffed animals, show me stuffed animals all around. Now, if I go into the house in the hallway, there's either like a little cupboard there

or a little, you know, a little table there. And would you have lace, a lace cover on that? You wouldn't, wouldn't you? Lace covers? Chris You would, wouldn't you? She's like, no, no, yeah. A table in the hallway. Well no one ever grew up with a table in the hallway, Chrissy.

This guy's on fire. Chrissy I'm confused why he's seen, like, going into her house. He can't. He's full of shit. Because he claims he's clairvoyant, like he can travel into people's homes. And there's a main, a big photo of him, but then little photos around that. I also see a candle there as well, see? And I see also on the wall, you have some of his things as well. Yeah.

And would you want to? Yeah. And she goes, eh. Stan, sweetheart, about the jersey, a sports jersey or something about him in sports at one point. And when you had a memorial service for him, didn't you have photos of him all over? Yes. Because, yeah, that is what you do. That's a memorial. That's what a memorial is.

You remember people. Whoa, that's loud. You should have had either a sports jersey or something about that. That's significant. Yeah. OK. OK.

She's lying. She's like, yeah, OK, I just want this guy to get away from me. Yeah. I understand that. I want to say, sweetheart, that he's always with you. He's your shining star, and you know it. And I know that you're going to, and I get the initial J. I just get this J. I that he's always with you. He's your shining star, and you know it. And I know that you're going to, and I get the initial J, I just get this J, I don't

know what that means, maybe not him, but a J. I want to tell you that shit because I don't know. I love it. He's taking, he feels responsibility. He takes full responsibility, and sometimes in life he didn't take responsibility. But he wants you to be proud of his, I'm proud of my boy because he takes responsibility. That's a big step for him. He's finishing school. He wants to tell you about school. Is that a big deal? He's finishing school in the afterlife. Again, like he said that with the other woman too. Yeah, this is the second time that he said this. They've gone back to

school. What is going on up there? They're getting their master's. I didn't know you could get an education in heaven. I'm really looking forward to finishing out my college years in school. Do you want to push him, push him, push him through school? He's finishing school. Isn't that lovely to hear that? That is. That is lovely to hear that. So, I want to sell it.

That is lovely to hear that. Yes, he agrees with himself. That's lovely. He's finishing school. Praise him. I want to say June is very significant as well. The month of June will be significant. It's either passing or a death day, something with June. And I also want to say to you, you have his…

Pete Slauson Something with June. Pete Slauson Man, she didn't confirm that. Pete Slauson I know. That's why he goes, something with June. Pete Slauson Yeah. Jared Seiferman Still there? Pete Slauson No. Jared Seiferman No. But you have photographs of his room. He said he was watching these photographs and I'm looking at, like, photograph album, looking at these photographs. And I

also see you have his writing, he's telling me, writing. Pete Slauson Yeah. Jared, writing. So, his hand. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, she probably saved a card that he had given her. Chrissy, this guy is like, he's even worse than Teresa. Yeah, he is. Yeah. Yeah.

And I also want to go, do you have a cell phone that belonged to him? Do you understand that? I had it, I had one. You had one. You had photos on there. And I know that you still have either some social media, Facebook or something with his memorial to him. Isn't that right? And he wants me to say thank you. Our producers found it. Yeah, our producers found it and they're looking at it right now. And they see you with his cell phone and they see pictures of the memorial service where you put pictures of him. They also see your

hallway where you took a picture of your little shrine to your son. Yeah. Mama, he's calling you mama. Yeah. Mama, not mom, mama. He's mama. And he said, I'm still very much alive. Don't believe in death. It's not real. This is real. And our love is real. And that's what carries a song. And he doesn't want you worrying about him. And is there a little sister, by the way, is there a sister of his? Yes, a sister. Because he doesn't want a sister to worry about him either. She's got to take care of herself. What you put in your mind comes into your body. So be very careful, he says. Okay?

He loves you very much. Wow! Here come the hosts to blow more smoke up his ass. It is Windy City Live. It is Windy City Live. Nothing like a little Windy City Live. Cheers, everyone. Thank you so much for being here today, of course.

Thank you so much for being here today, of course. Thank you. Thank you very much. I remember the first time I ever saw you was on the Oprah show. Same with you, probably, Val. You've done so many shows all around the world. You have this amazing talent. When did this talent start?

When I was a little child, when I was three years old, I remember my grandfather used to be over the crib or whatever that bed was, and he was deceased at the time. I remember he used to hold his like- No one remembers anything from when they're three years old, by the way. That's complete horse shit. Try and think back to when you were three years old. Tell me if you remember anything. And this guy is probably 20 years older than I am, maybe 25 years older than I am.

Puppet thing. And I'd asked my grandmother, years later, I saw my grandmother had a photograph album and she was going through pages, and I said, who's that man? She said, that's your grandfather who died before you were born. I said, he used to visit me every night. And that was the very first time. Wow, that's advanced conversation for a three-year-old, don't you think? Many, many times I've seen Spirit. It runs in my family, mother has it, my grandmother had it, my grandfather the other side. So, yeah.

Kirsten Yeah, so we're all… Bethany Yeah, it gets passed down through the genes. Jared Yeah, we've all been lying for money for a long time. Bethany For instance, between a psychic and a medium. Chris Everybody's psychic. So, everybody has that intuition, that gut feeling. Jared Okay. Jared That's good news for us, Chrissy. And we're psychic.

Chris You know something and also it happens, you think of someone, the phone rings, it's that person. And so, that's the psychic. Everybody has intuition. It's the soul's language. A medium is someone who's very, very psychic, but also able to open up frequencies of a higher energy, go through higher realms, if you will, dimensions, and hear, see, or feel spirit on a higher level. Spirit. Spirit. Oh, spirit's telling me to come on down. I love the spirit. I'm in spirit. Every medium is a psychic. Not every psychic is a medium.

Ah, very good. So, as you're sitting here right now, are you feeling this? Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, yeah. I want a bet. I want a workplace bet. I said, can every psychic be a medium or is every medium a psychic? And you just answer, ah, ah, ah, ah. That's why they pay me $300,000 a year and do my hair in the morning. Are you seeing spirits? When I begin, I will. Not right now, but I will. You can turn it on and off. Yeah, you have to be able to do that. In development, you learn how to open yourself up and close yourself down. In development? Yeah. Development for a TV deal?

What kind of development do you go through as a psychic? He's different, though, too, from Teresa, who normally says, they're all the time. They're all the time. I can't control it. They come in, they come out. But I'm always, it's just friendly conversation. Nothing bad. Can't say anything bad. There's only walking around just being crazed with a lot of spirits. It doesn't work that way. We see some of those people on State Street.

I noticed that coming in. Yeah, sure. What do you say to the skeptics and the naysayers who say your abilities just aren't real? I say to them that they have the right to their opinion and they should come to see the work being done. Buy a ticket. They have the right to their opinion and for $126 you can see me at the Chicago Coliseum next Tuesday. I sat with these skeptics who were picketing my show and I invited them into the show

and afterwards they looked at me and said, okay, well, okay, we're leaving now. We kind of believe this. I kind of made this. I find that absolute horseshit video or it didn't happen. Pics or it didn't happen. You're telling me that a bunch of critics showed up to your show, a bunch of people who didn't believe you like Brian and Chrissy showed up, picketed your show, you invited them in and they all converted. Yep. There's no way. There is no way. So they accepted your invitation. Yeah, they did.

Good. And I said, no other medium ever did that. And I said, well, this is a smart newscaster. She knows that he's full of fucking shit. I mean, you should, you know, you can't really make judgment on something unless you've had the experience of it. So I invite them in. I was skeptical when I first began as well, but I had to have the experience. I was skeptical. I was skeptical was skeptical when I first began as well, but I had to have the experience. Jared Sussman I was skeptical. I was skeptical of myself when I first began.

Beth Dombkowski That I could get on the show. Jared Sussman But I learned how to lie. Beth Dombkowski Yeah. Jared Sussman And they did. And everyone's, you know, it's entitled to their opinion. Beth Dombkowski Do you ever not want the gift? Jared Sussman No. I think it's the greatest thing in the world to help other people, to help people realize there is no death, that death is the only thing that's living. Beth Dombkowski Yeah, like to help Barbara Walters know that

she has cancer and then not, then she doesn't. Yeah. In case you missed the first episode of this, it was last Friday's episode, so you can go take a listen to it, which I think is 549, no, 548. The scuttlebutt on this guy is that he's been offered a million dollars to prove in any scientific way, shape, or form that he is indeed clairvoyant, psychic, medium, whatever. He has never, ever responded to that call. If I had a million dollar offer, I would try. If I got embarrassed, I got embarrassed, but a million dollars- Exactly. If you believed it, what you had was real.

That's right. That's life-changing money. But then there's other controversy around this gentleman because one of the most notable things that he did that caused controversy in his career is that he went to a private reading with Barbara Walters where he told her that he was seeing, hearing, someone was telling him that she had a very high white blood cell count and it was likely cancer. She needed to get it checked out. She went to multiple doctors, got multiple tests done to find out that her white blood cell count was not elevated. And I don't believe that's what she died from. Was it?

I don't think so. I don't think so. The people that pass over, there's no death, it's only life. And once you have that, you fear it's taken away from death, you can live life. Right, you know, sometimes I ask guests, who would you want to play you fear it's taken away from death, you can live life. Right. Sometimes I ask guests, who would you want to play you in a movie?

But Ted Danson actually played you in a movie. Of course he did. Did you get to pick Ted? It was a really weird thing. Wait, hold on. Ted Danson played him in a movie? What? What?

OK. All right. All right. Wait, and now they're showing a picture of Ted Danson, and it has a little thing that says, living with the dead that was on CBS. OK. All right, all right. Wait, and now they're showing a picture of Ted Danson and it has a little thing that says, Living With The Dead that was on CBS. Okay, all right, you know Brian's on top of that, kids. Don't worry, I'm on it.

Looks like Brian's watching a movie of the week on CBS. What is that, Living With The Dead? Living With The Dead. Okay, let me write that down. Living With The Dead on CBS? Yes. Okay, am I gonna have to get like Paramount Plus or some out. I think I actually gave you my login already. Oh yeah, you might have. Yeah. Because it's real-

I'll need it again. Okay. I was doing a reading for Ted and Mary Steenburgen at their house two weeks beforehand and Ted's father came through and with incredible detail about a herringbone jacket he was wearing before he passed over, he died from a fireplace with a glass of whiskey, and Ted goes, how did you know that? I said, he's telling me that. And really, about two weeks later, CBS called up and said, we can't find anyone to play

you in this movie, but we might go to Ted Danson because he's, we know him. And they- We know him. We know him because we know him. And they said- Jared Sussman We know him. We know him because we know him. No one's agreeing to play you in this movie, but Ted Danson, we know him. Danielle Pletka We know him. Jared Sussman And because you told him his dad had a herringbone jacket, he's fully on board. Danielle Pletka Like a glass of whiskey.

Jared Sussman I can guarantee you can find probably a lot of information about Ted Danson's dad online. Danielle Pletka Yes. I said a reading for him. I said, well, can you ask him? I said, I can't do that. I can't ask him because that's crossing the line. So it's about CBS to get to him because he had that experience with me. I think he said yes to the pledge and the movie did very, very well. I think he said yes because they gave him $2 million to play you in a movie.

I think that's why he said yes. Yeah. I mean, I don't know Ted Danson, but he seems like a rather sharp guy, right? And I just have a feeling that Ted Danson, A, probably did not believe a word that you said, and B, got offered a lot of money to play you in a movie because they couldn't find anybody to play him in a movie. So, they said, if we're going to do this, we got to pay somebody. And it was Ted Danson. Jared Sussman For CBS. And because of that series, that

mini-series that did so well, it created Ghost Whisper with Jennifer Love-Hughett. Jennifer Love-Hughett Yes. Jared Sussman So, then I was kind of played by Jennifer Love Hewitt. Danielle Pletka Oh, come on. Really? Jennifer Love Hewitt. I was played by Jennifer Love Hewitt. Slay, queen, slay. I was played by Jennifer Love Hewitt. Who do you want to play you when you die? Jennifer Love Hewitt. Jennifer Love Hewitt. Your real life experiences. It's an experience of mine. I was the creator of that and I helped produce it.

Oh yeah, very exciting stuff. I helped put together this fictional show. I helped put together this completely fictional show. I got a picture on set with Jennifer Love Hewitt. Check me out. We also have several volunteers from our audience here. Okay. All right. So that particular video has ended.

I do have another clip of James Prog. You want to watch that? Yeah, let's do it. We'll take a break and then we can watch it. Okay. Let's take a break. I know we're turning this one around quickly, but we'll take a break and when we come back, we'll watch more James Fong Prog.

We'll be back. What? Oh, hi, it's Christina again, here to remind you to go to tcbpodcast.com for all things audio, video, and TCBDO. Give us a follow on Instagram at the commercial break and on TikTok at TCB Podcast. And guess what? We have a new phone number. I know what you're thinking, but I promise this is the last TCB phone number you will

ever have to remember! So call us and leave us a voicemail or text us at 212-433-3TCB. Once more for the people in the back, that's 212-433-3TCB. Oh, and check out our YouTube channel at youtube.com slash the commercial break. That's all for now. Let's listen to our sponsors and get back to the show. All right, we're back. We're doing a deep dive into James von Prague, who is our new Teresa Caputo, quite frankly, we're enjoying this so much because he's so fucking full of shit. And he's just a grimy, slimy motherfucker.

That's my take on him so far, from what I've read, from what I see, from the way he talks, from the way he carries himself. He is really scuzzy. That's my opinion. What do you think, Chrissy? Yeah, I agree. Well, I don't like how he's, well, obviously it's-

Stereotyping. And I don't like the stereotyping, yes. I hate the... Stereotyping. And I don't like the stereotyping. I hate the stereotyping. That drives me crazy. Teresa Caputo does it too. She makes assumptions based on people's color or what they're wearing. It's just a shitty, shitty thing to do. But when you're playing this game, you have to go on broad generalizations. That is what you do. I don't like where he's taking it, but it's not unique to James. Teresa does this also. Okay, I found an older clip where he's doing a cold reading and we'll be watching this for the first time together. This is from some show called The Circle. The Circle.

I think everybody's trying to be the view. And so, The Circle, the women, the channel, the thing. Oh, but I do like the music. I do too. I wish we had that kind of transition music. Well, we're back with medium James Van Praagh, who has had his fascinating all morning about the world of ghosts and the unknown. For anybody that's wondering, this is is rated PG as they put it right on Not Good Channel. Is this a plugin from Australia? Yeah, I am assuming this is in Australia. Yeah, and here's a much younger James Progg

So it's probably 15 years old. To you with our studio audience now. Take it away and see what you can see. Okay sweetheart, great I'd like to start with this lady right here who's sitting right in the first row I have a mother figure very strong coming around you. okay? And with the name of you, the Mary Margaret, does that fit her name? Jared Sussman Mary Margaret Karen Kathy. Beth Dombkowski Well, also, he picked out, like, a pretty old woman. Jared Sussman Yes. Beth Dombkowski So, yes, her mother is probably gone.

Jared Sussman Of course. This lady is clearly in her 70s, maybe older, and, you know, if her mother's still around, God bless her mother. Beth Dombkowski Margaret Mary. Jared Sussman Margaret Mary, okay, Margaret Mary. And I got to tell you that I feel before she passes over, though, there's a lot of, it's a hard time to walk or a hard time to get up and get things going. Do you understand that? And also- No, she shook her head, no. A hard time. Did medicines before she passed?

I mean- No, no one takes medicine at her older age. She was on medication, but she didn't have any painkillers. Right, but there were medications she took because I feel this very, very much before when she's coming in here. And I feel some arthritis. You feel her medications? You feel her medications.

This is brilliant. Wow. This is brilliant. There's a lot of arthritis and there's a bone problem. There's also something with the back. So I don't know if she sees us sitting with a pillow with the back of her or is that you? No.

No. Nope. Again, he was trying with the broad because I mean, who in their older age doesn't maybe have a back problem and maybe sits with a pillow. Yeah, sits with a pillow. I sit with a pillow. I'm nowhere close to being old and I sit with a pillow

No, that doesn't make sense to you. Okay, and what about trouble legs? What about legs legs back Vagina did you did you ever get checked? Do you have a vagina checked by a doctor? That's it. That's it That's what she's telling me. This is crazy This lady is not buying. No, she's like now. Okay. I who has trouble with the legs now I'm a father said it to hip replacements to the replacement. So you cannot walk as well as he used to Okay I love it. I love this. This is my favorite thing ever. Oh my God.

Who has had leg trouble? I mean, now he just throws it out there. My father had hip replacements and he's having trouble walking. No, he walks quite well. This looks great now. He's taking a jog right now. Okay. Right. Oh, he is struggling here. Oh, this is a rare, this is a rare moment in television psychic history where the psychic is definitely off beat now. He doesn't know what to do.

Was your mother buried? Yes. Oh, come on. Was your mother buried? He went to the most broad question you could ever ask of a dead person. Was your mother buried? 75% of people, I believe I read, are buried. 25 get cremated. David. Because she's talking about being buried and awake, or a funeral rather. Jared Oh, is she? Beth She's talking about that. Jared She's dead. She's talking about that? She's talking about the funeral that happened when she

died? Okay. All right. David She knows about it. She was very surprised by it all. And who's Kathy? Jared She was surprised by it all? She thought it was a surprise party for her? Surprise! You're dead! Kathy? Is that Katherine or Kathy? Kathy? Katherine or Kathy? Nope.

He picked the wrong bitch to fuck with. Yeah. She is not at all impressed. Bad. Kate? You know about this name? Well, Kate. Kate. Katie. Who's that?

I have a cousin now that's just um, at surgery. Right now? Come with me today, but um, she just had to have surgery. Let's talk about her, and she's praying with her, okay? I also know who's Catholic. Oh, there he is. I have a cousin named Kate. I have a cousin named, not Kathy, Kate.

Oh, she passed? No, she's having surgery right now? No. Oh, your brother's praying with her. My brother's praying with her. Someone who has a Catholic background. Can we all laugh? You all laugh, okay.

So, there was a mass that for instance, she wants to thank you for a mass that was said, and there are prayer cards that are said. There's a picture of Mother Mary somewhere. Oh, now he's just going to go down the whole Catholic thing. Oh, now he's just going to go down the whole Catholic thing. She wants to thank Jesus Christ for dying for our sins? Yeah, yeah. Picture of Mother Mary, would you know about this?

We know about this. We'll have Mother Mary run some way. That's what I was saying. He's just going down the Catholic checklist. There was a mass, there were prayer cards, there were candles. And she responded appropriately. She said, we're Catholics. All Catholics believe in Mother Mary. That's kind of an important figure in the church. These two human beings are my favorite human beings ever.

You know. Of course, that was years ago. But Nola's mother's name is Mary and Nola's mother died when Nola was only six. Ah, okay. That was in 1950. Do you go backwards? I do go backwards. Do you have a time machine?

Can you just go back to 1950? Is this a DVD player? Do you go backwards? Do you do rewind? Backwards. I go backwards and sideways also. So I want to talk about something else with you though. Music, music, music. I don't know why, music. Did you not do music? Were you going to do music when you were younger and you stopped doing music? No. Fail, fail, fail, fail, fail. He gets to talk out every time. And these are extraordinarily

broad questions he's asking. And these ladies are absolutely keeping their head on their shoulders by saying, no, you're wrong. This is not me. I have nothing to do with this. To play the piano? No. Okay.

Who was that one to play the piano? Or music? Don't know. Okay. And that's music. Once again, he threw out the piano, just as he did in the other show we were just watching. Because it's such a broad thing. A lot of kids take piano lessons when you're young and you maybe don't finish them.

And what I noticed also about the last reading that he did that we did last Friday and then today is that he asked only, except for one guy, he asked four women questions, he brought up that there were two males in every situation he brought up there were two males. As if, you know, it's like he just keeps repeating himself over and over again. Not only is he so broad and still getting it wrong, but then on top of that, he just repeats himself. Yeah.

Did he hear your husband's passed over? Or your father's passed over, rather? I saw the list. Father passed over. I don't know if he liked cars. Don't think about cars, but there's something about cars with him. I mean, told me about this, okay? Did he drive a car? She said no. She goes, no. What if she says he never even had a license? How? Did he got a car? Or there was talk about getting a car?

There was talk about getting a license. Oh wow. They got a car, or they was talking about getting a car. There was talk about getting a car. Having a car. He saw a car once. He told you there was a car. A car passed you at some point. I'm getting a car. Is there a car anywhere? Have you ever seen a car?

You think you're dead. Do you understand? Do you understand what the car is? No. No. No. This is amazing. This is the fourth woman he's talked to and all of them have said no to every question. No.

He is bombing Down Under. This is what it's going to feel like in Orlando on September 20th. Does anybody find us funny? Does anybody know about the commercial break? Have you ever heard us funny? Does anybody know about the commercial break? Have you ever heard something funny? Yeah, have you ever heard something funny? Ever heard the term the commercial break? Yes, okay, now we're on somewhere.

I should do a cold reading. We should do a cold reading of the audience. We should totally do it. Oh, we're going to practice this. I'm going to get good at it. Okay, okay, okay. Who had the heart problem? Possibly my mom. Okay, okay, okay, okay who had the heart problem?

Possibly my mom okay, okay, she's passed over as well mm-hmm. There was heart the situation before she passes Yeah, okay, and there was a situation that she was going to either get an operation as a procedure done something before that okay? So I don't know if you know that, that she didn't get that. I don't know if you know that. I don't know if you know that, but she had other illnesses she died from that she didn't get treated. That's what a fucking shithead man. I want to ask who I'm with with Teresa or Terry, but I am. Okay? I got to tell you that. Sorry, what was she saying? Teresa or Terry. Teresa?

Teresa or Terry. And was there a voice? She said no. Teresa or Terry. Or Terry. a voice? She said no. Teresa or Terry. Or Terry. Anything with a T. Yeah. So far, he said Janet or Janice, Kate or Kathy, Michelle or Michaela. He's going through all of the letters just trying to get something. Never. You never married?

No. Okay. I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised because I want you to love yourself more. I'm not surprised you never'm not surprised because I want you to love yourself more. I'm not surprised you never married. Oh my God. Wow. Whoa, wow. I know this is like 15 years ago, 10 or 15 years ago, but still, is that something you should ever say to someone?

No. No. Don't, I need you to love yourself more, okay? I need you to love yourself more? What are you fucking Dr. Phil? You went from psychic to Dr. Phil in two seconds. Jared Slauson I also want you, there's something about the car here with your father. I don't know what I'm talking about a car here. I don't know what it means. If you're just getting a new car, you got a new car.

Danielle Pletka Look, the host is getting it back. She's like, this is going bad. Jared Slauson Yeah, the host is ready. Yeah, this is going badly. We got to stop this right now. This is live fucking TV. I have an assumption this is live TV. Danielle Pletka Okay. I have an assumption this is live TV. Okay. I got to tell you that. I'm going to come over here to this lady. Are we almost closed? Nearly there. Just to see if you can feel anyone. Your husband passed out, right?

If you think you can just get it right. We just want to see if you can actually say something that actually resonates with anybody in the audience and then we'll move on without you here.
