Last night after the LSU basketball game I was looking to see what was on TV and there was an episode of Last Week Tonight With John Oliver. I am sure some of you don't like him for some political reason or whatever, but he is pretty funny and I like how he calls out frauds like televangelist, etc.

Anyway, last night he had a segment on psychics, show how they work and how much money people spend a year on psychics..

It's a long segment, but you can watch just the first 5 mins or so and get the general idea.

Penn and Teller had a bit on this. They would throw books into the audience and tell the the people who caught them to open to a random page then tell jokes for 10 or so minutes. Based on the people's reactions to what he said, Penn could tell them what page they opened to.

I knew before I opened this thread it was going to suck. Does that make me psychic?

How has that worked out for you this far with the ladies?


Other than my mom of course (since that is your auto reply).

I have to say, you sound like a socially inept keyboard badass nerd but I wouldn't pass up the opportunity to meet and hang out with you in person. We all give you a hard time on here but you're probably some multi-millionaire with hot chicks hanging all over you.

It was a pretty good episode, and I was unaware that Physic readings were a billion dollar industry.

Do I believe in them? Yes, they're real people. Do I believe that they have real psychic abilities? No.

Every time I see a middle aged honkey in a wheelchair I think to myself, "I wonder if that's Chris?"

Then I go about my day.

Great video. Oliver is a national treasure.

I put predatory psychics up there with pedophiles on the list of people that I hate.

You should start pushing them down stairs. You know, just in case.
