The Majestic Guys, if you ever doubted psychic magical was real, check me out Here!
At Central Park! [Ethan Klein Cough ™] ♫ intro ♫ [Michelle Obama]
Wow, Ethan. Great Moves. Keep it Up. Proud of you. I have always been fascinated by psychics and gurus But not because I'm interested in mysticism or magic or anything like that I just happen to find these people so interesting They are the goofiest looking people that have ever walked this earth Somehow, they all came together and said,
"Hey. You know what?" "Let's put a carpet on my head." "Let's look like I belong in Ghostbusters 5" "And guess what?
I am the ghost." "Let's look like Fabio got his knees chopped off and ate a couple too many cheeseburgers." "That's the look we're going for." "That's what attracts people to us and builds cults." "That's what mysticism is all about." So, without further ado, guys, let me enter the world with you of Gurus, Psychics and Mediums. I'm Gary Spivey and I entertain people [crowd cheering] First and one of my favorites is Gary Spivey The literal rotting orange I mean this guy's tan is so slick it looks like he's about to go It looks like he's about to go and start a 90s boys band The reason I turned my psychic abilities into entertainment was simple because it works! Oh yeah, and did I mention that he wears a literal poodle's asshole on his head? This time it looks like it was knit from
his grandmother's pubic hairs And people still take him seriously This guy has followers.
People pay to go watch this guy give psychic readings. Oftentimes I have people come to me and they have chronic depression. I can get rid of it as about quick as I do this. There is something very special about
being a psychic and looking as goofy as possible And nobody personifies that better than the human golf ball; Gary Spivey Here's what I say to the nay-sayers that don't believe a thing about what I do Hey, I hope I entertained you Oh, you've definitely entertained us. Thank you, Gary, you giant, human, Q-Tip. (TV medium) Who has the issue with brain?
Aneurysm, brain tumor, Alzheimer or dementia.
Who's that? Next up, is the Long Island Medium who
looks like she's from a Sopranos parody No-
who died with the brain-, the issue with the brain? 'cause I might be piggybacking.
Somebody might have the same meaning She does this typical cold reader thing, where she'll ask a million questions to a room of 500 people and everyone who gets cried and shocked once you finally figure out that this one lady's Uncle Bob had an aneurysm 20 years ago When you sit with mom you would feel the presence of other loved ones that have departed, is that correct? The fact that this woman is given any screen time at all and even has her own show is nothing short of a national tragedy I mean, it's cool that you can speak to the dead and all but frankly I'm more impressed and scared, to be honest of that fucking hair-do Is that her wedding ring? (man) no, it's my mother's ring Oh, it's your Mother's ring.
Oh, 'cause I heard some- -the wedding ring Does the Humane Society know that you have a rodent living on your head? But next up is by far my favorite
[♫ piano string music getting louder ♫] spiritual being known only as BRACO ♫ BRACO-OOOO ♫♫ BRACO-OOOO ♫ Braco is a spiritual leader known for having "The Gaze of Miracles" what that means is that he literally stares at people and heals them "The Gaze of Miracles" BRIACO-OOOO He even does this thing
