- 0:00Speaker 1: Renowned psychic medium John Edward is coming back to town.
- 0:03Speaker 1: He's going to be at the Regal Theater on Tuesday,
- 0:05Speaker 1: November the twenty fourth. Tickets are available through ticket Tech.
- 0:09Speaker 1: He's joining us this morning. Good morning, John.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Oh, John, Good morning guys. How are you good?
- 0:14Speaker 1: Well, believe it or not, it has been twenty five
- 0:18Speaker 1: years since you burst onto our TV screens in Crossing Over,
- 0:23Speaker 1: a show that certainly made an impact. How old were
- 0:28Speaker 1: you John, when you first realized you had your gift
- 0:32Speaker 1: of communicating with people who well, they've they've died.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Yeah, other way, I was actually fifteen years old when
- 0:41Speaker 2: I had a reading and a psychic book.
- 0:43Speaker 1: On my path, Right, So you before that you had
- 0:48Speaker 1: a bit. Do you have this sort of family that
- 0:51Speaker 1: also had this gift? Aren't they? Well?
- 0:54Speaker 2: I think everybody has it, and I think, you know,
- 0:56Speaker 2: my family are interested. Yeah, my mom's out of the
- 0:58Speaker 2: family step psych it comes to the house, so they
- 1:00Speaker 2: were very much into it. But my dad was a
- 1:03Speaker 2: very anti anything psychic, and I wasn't allowed to be
- 1:07Speaker 2: around the subject matter growing up. But when my parents split,
- 1:10Speaker 2: we wound up moving into my grandmother's house, which is
- 1:12Speaker 2: kind of like the paranormal hub where all this stuff
- 1:14Speaker 2: took place, and that's where I met the that's where
- 1:17Speaker 2: I met the woman who did the reading for me.
- 1:18Speaker 1: It's interesting that you say you think everyone has a
- 1:21Speaker 1: little bit of it, because you know, you hear stories
- 1:23Speaker 1: about how kids, when they're little, they see things and
- 1:26Speaker 1: that you know, excuse me, are inexplicable, but we kind
- 1:30Speaker 1: of talk them out of it, you know, of what
- 1:33Speaker 1: they saw. Oh no, you didn't really see that in
- 1:34Speaker 1: the corner of the room, and so that you sort
- 1:36Speaker 1: of do you block it out.
- 1:40Speaker 2: Yeah, So I actually try to get people to recognize
- 1:43Speaker 2: that they're Yeah, they're young. The young people in the
- 1:45Speaker 2: family are amazing little intuitives that are picking up and
- 1:49Speaker 2: seeing energy and experiencing things, and sometimes it's a great
- 1:53Speaker 2: help for them to know that they're not crazy. And
- 1:56Speaker 2: unless they're actually afraid of what they're experiencing, I think
- 1:58Speaker 2: it's it's great to kind of treat it like in
- 2:00Speaker 2: a nonchalant kind of way, like it's natural and normal,
- 2:03Speaker 2: and not make a big deal about it.
- 2:04Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, John, Is it always there or do you
- 2:07Speaker 3: find sometimes you just can't get a sense there's it,
- 2:13Speaker 3: like a brick wall there or do you always find
- 2:15Speaker 3: that you're able to pick up something?
- 2:19Speaker 2: So I think it's always there, meaning like the energies
- 2:22Speaker 2: are always around us. But me as the medium and
- 2:25Speaker 2: the conduit, I think, you know, there are moments where
- 2:27Speaker 2: I could sit with somebody and I can't connect with them,
- 2:30Speaker 2: so therefore I can't connect with who's around them. But
- 2:32Speaker 2: it doesn't mean that their loved ones and friends aren't around.
- 2:35Speaker 2: But that's usually like a in a private setting, yeah,
- 2:38Speaker 2: like a one on one. But if I'm in front
- 2:39Speaker 2: of a group of people, like I'll be in birth
- 2:41Speaker 2: like that, that's not that's not gonna happen when because
- 2:44Speaker 2: you have people in front of it, it's going to
- 2:46Speaker 2: be the opposite. It's going to be how many people
- 2:48Speaker 2: can actually get to do.
- 2:49Speaker 1: People sometimes confuse what you do with being able to
- 2:52Speaker 1: tell the future. Do they say, Hey, John, what Lotto two?
- 2:54Speaker 1: Because numbers should I play this weekend?
- 2:57Speaker 2: Well, it actually kind of goes hand in hands. Have
- 3:00Speaker 2: to be a psychic first in order to be able
- 3:02Speaker 2: to do the medium show it. So it's kind of
- 3:04Speaker 2: like a doctor first, where you could specialize in a
- 3:06Speaker 2: field in a you know, be like a cardiologist. You
- 3:09Speaker 2: got to be a regular doctor first and then you Yeah,
- 3:12Speaker 2: it's kind of like that, like every every medium is
- 3:14Speaker 2: a psych chic first, and is a medium?
- 3:18Speaker 3: John, you've been married for about thirty years. Does you
- 3:20Speaker 3: give to sten to knowing what your wife is thinking
- 3:22Speaker 3: or at least your kids?
- 3:24Speaker 2: Well, it doesn't make fighting fair. I'll leave you, but
- 3:26Speaker 2: I'll leave you with that little nugget.
- 3:29Speaker 1: Now, you are performing at the Regal Theater, John, it
- 3:33Speaker 1: is famously haunted. It's a beautiful old theater. I imagine this
- 3:38Speaker 1: would come up a bit where you know, you do
- 3:41Speaker 1: these shows in some gorgeous old theaters. Have you had
- 3:43Speaker 1: any experiences in places that you've performed?
- 3:47Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually did. I was in California in a
- 3:50Speaker 2: place called Fresno and there was an old movie theater
- 3:53Speaker 2: that they converted into an event space and I wound
- 3:56Speaker 2: up getting pulled to the projection room. And I thought
- 3:59Speaker 2: that there were people that you know, were working at
- 4:02Speaker 2: the venue that were just watching the event from that room.
- 4:05Speaker 2: And I kept saying, I need to go to Sam.
- 4:07Speaker 2: I need to go to Sam. Can somebody just get
- 4:08Speaker 2: a microphone to Sam that's in the projection room? And
- 4:12Speaker 2: long story short, it took a moment and then they
- 4:15Speaker 2: went and got the manager of the venue and he
- 4:17Speaker 2: came out and he said, mister Edwards, Sam was our projectionist.
- 4:21Speaker 2: He was there for like fifty years and he passed
- 4:23Speaker 2: away quite a few years ago. Oh my gosh, Well
- 4:25Speaker 2: I got here. Sam's here tonight.
- 4:28Speaker 3: Well he's still keeping an eye on the projector at
- 4:30Speaker 3: the Regal.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Lookout for Paddy. He was the former manager who passed
- 4:34Speaker 1: away in the building. And that's why the bar is
- 4:37Speaker 1: called Patty's Bar. So, wow, John, before we let you
