I love that.
Oh my gosh.
Welcome.
And last season's drama was just the tip of the iceberg.
You're recording us?
I am disgusted.
Never in a million years after everything we've been through
did I think that you would reach out to our sworn enemy.
We were friends.
How could you do this to me?
I don't trust her.

On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, five-year-old Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez was found off the coast of Florida.
And the question was, should the boy go back to his father in Cuba?
Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home, and he wanted to take his son with him. Or stay with his father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him.
Or stay with his relatives in Miami.
Imagine that your mother died
trying to get you to freedom.

Trust me, you won't want to miss this one.
Hi, it's Bowen.
And it's Matt too.
And this is a really fun episode.
We're about to get into it, but wanted to just say up top,
this is with Tyler Henry, Hollywood medium.
And we had such a great time with him.
And part of the setup for the episode is that he gave us a reading that was captured on audio and video.
So once the YouTube comes out, check that out on video.
But we're going to put that audio portion at the beginning of this episode.
Yeah. And then we start the episode with Tyler.
So we walked in.
We really didn't like say much to him.
We sat down.
We started the reading.
That's what we were told to do.
And here are our readings followed by the episode with Tyler.
Enjoy.
Now, the less I know, the better generally going into all of these things, because I
never want to have bias kind of impede what I do.
So with two people, I'll kind of go back and forth.
Scribbling is just kind of my way of turning on.
And I aim for about 80% to connect,
but there might be a 20% portion we check with other friends or family.
I want to go, I'm going to go back and forth.
I got to highlight this guy that's coming through.
I'm already starting to swim. That's good.
I'm going to start with you and then I'll kind of jump back and forth.
So when we talk with you, I want to kind of, oddly enough, go back decades.
I want to bring up this guy that's coming through who's hitting me on a grandfather level.
And this guy is coming in and I can tell that he would have been passed for decades.
This is not a recent passing, something that would have been kind of long ago.
They show me this dichotomy between a death and then shortly thereafter, like a birth. So if somebody wasn't able to meet a grandparent or meet grandpa within family,
it kind of reminds me of what I myself went through with my own grandfather. He died in the
80s and I was born in the 90s. And we were never able to meet in a physical sense. There is an
aspect there that does come through within family and it would have been quite some time ago.
Without giving anything away,
do you know of any men on like mom's side of family
who would have gone kind of prematurely?
The way I would describe this with this guy
is he gives me this feeling of working, working, working,
and then I stop working and then I die.
And I don't mean to laugh,
but there's kind of a joke about this
in family of people either saying like, yeah, you worked your whole life only to just pass away.
And that comes in over and over again.
This guy comes across and is striking me with this feeling of feeling a lot older than I actually was when I passed.
That basically indicates that someone's physicality felt older than they actually were when they went.
This guy strikes me as kind of
a little past middle age, if I had to say, just in the realm that it's kind of hitting me.
But physically, I feel kind of yucky. I feel like even if I'm in my 50s, I feel like I'm in my 70s
is kind of the only way to describe it in the sense of just not wanting to complain,
but feeling ran down in some kind of larger way. So that guy pops in really, really clearly. There's a
funniness around a confusion of, you know, when you list everybody's name in the family, except
the person you're intending to say. So it'd be like, Carol, Kristen. And then I ended up saying
the person's name and I'm like, whichever one I go down the whole list of family members until I
get to the one they're wanting me to joke about that in some capacity, in some way, I have to
highlight two similar, one different. They're bringing up mom, mom's side. And I get to the one. They're wanting me to joke about that in some capacity, in some way. I have to highlight two similar, one different. They're bringing up mom, mom's side. And I have
to highlight, we're going to get into specifics here and I'm going to jump back and forth.
I have to bring up a situation for some reason on mom's side of family. And this is good to look
into where someone would have dealt with a cancer that kind of started lower and then went higher.
So if we talk about something that starts kind of in our physical body
in a lower area and then spreads
and essentially causes me to become overwhelmed with cancer
and goes into a secondary bout,
they're kind of having me bring up that.
But then they're also having me highlight
an acknowledgement around your mother's sister, I think.
Does your mother have a sister?
Yeah.
Okay.
At the time that grandpa
passed,
oh,
you have an uncle.
Do you have an uncle on
mom's side of family?
Yes. Don't give away too much with
this one, but there's an interesting thing in the way this
comes across. At the time in which grandpa
passed, there's this feeling of
not being resolved with
my son yeah and the way that i would word this is they're having me highlight grandpa's namesake
this is his name being passed on but this feeling of the girls have a different interpretation of
father relationship than the son in this equation so if like the mom and sister feel certain way
and it's different than perhaps how their brother had initially felt.
They're kind of separating this into a bit of a dichotomy.
All of that to say, there's this feeling that comes through related to this older woman who would be like a grandmother that I want to bring up.
And she's just kind of on the sidelines the way this comes through.
But grandchildren would not have been able to fully say goodbye or have the send-off.
And that's kind of what's interesting for me
around her situation,
is if she wasn't able to have her grandkids
by her side when she passed,
just kind of this feeling like, it's all good.
I don't need people to see me
or be there physically to kind of do that.
But it definitely comes in as a feeling
of wanting to bring up both of them.
I need to highlight,
this is good to keep in mind for you, Bowen. Within family, keep in mind, they do put an emphasis on living people,
which is, it's a mixed bag. Remember that I'm saying this with older family members?
I have older parents myself. I'm an only child. My parents are kind of closer to
over 60 now. And they're having me talk about conversations around parents getting older and health and wellbeing. And in the way this
comes across, just remember that I'm saying, if anyone in your family, particularly on dad's side,
runs the risk of any filtration related problems, that to me usually goes like liver, kidney,
pancreas, even if it's more digestive.
Remember that I'm saying that?
I kind of feel like there's going to be a situation there.
Nothing related to you directly, but I'm kind of going back more.
There's an acknowledgement of a guy who was born with something on his face or a distinct birthmark.
There's an acknowledgement of a baby that was born with a full head of hair that I have to joke about or talk about.
And some of these things might like immediately connect,
some might not and they're worth looking into.
Yeah.
But they're having me bring up
just overall health, cognizance, awareness.
It wouldn't surprise me within your family
if we see any living family members
who kind of start going through some changes,
particularly one family member
that might cognitively
just start going through some changes, particularly one family member that might cognitively just start going through some shifts.
The way I would word this is it doesn't seem like a large concern, but it's just kind of almost like keep an eye on this,
keep an eye on this because there is this dynamic of people coming together.
There's acknowledgement of geographical travel.
I have to talk about like trips.
They're bringing up heavy conversations.
There's a lot here.
One thing to keep in mind for the next two years for you,
if you have any opportunities regarding publishing a book or writing a book
and in a collaborative way,
they're bringing that up in a very, very positive, hopeful sense.
There is kind of an odd element that comes through in the long run,
which might be interesting, of you. and then i'm saying funny but history so if there's any
historical figures that you end up being able to like cover in a funny way historical events in a
funny way i'm putting like teaching tool history but funny and this is binding insane yeah so i
know so a lot of the kind of process but that part does come in there is an acknowledgement
um do you have a sister i do okay so just keeping in mind fertility based stuff for her I know it's a lot to kind of process, but that part does come in. There is an acknowledgement.
Do you have a sister?
I do.
Okay.
So just keeping in mind fertility-based stuff for her,
there might be a decision of stop having babies or I'm slowing it down.
I'm slowing the roll.
I don't know if I can handle.
So regardless of the decision that is made there,
as far as logistically future children,
they're just kind of putting an emphasis on fertility stuff,
pregnancy stuff, and just kind of as I get older, some of the natural changes that happen in that system.
But just keeping that in mind for her, she might run the risk of ovarian cysts, uterine
cysts.
Just kind of good to keep that in mind in the long run, particularly if there's any
interest in having more babies.
I'm just kind of going to just keep that in mind.
I do want to bring up also an acknowledgement around, this is
kind of, I can draw a parallel with myself here. If there are any conversations recently around
obsessive compulsive disorder, OCD, it keeps coming through. And I'm somebody who's diagnosed
with this myself. So it's a pretty clear symbol. I find things I can relate to come through a
little bit more clearly, but putting an emphasis on that almost as something to consider if it comes up in conversation
as far as our proclivities to obsessive, compulsive, cyclical thinking, they kind of are acknowledging
that.
And sometimes that can help provide an answer to a question, sometimes can provide clarification,
but it's just good to keep in mind that that kind of is around in the way this comes through.
And that would pop in there.
For you, I have to talk about your grandpa's namesake and how his name was continued on.
This is weird.
There, there.
How that was continued on.
This is so crazy.
All good. This is so crazy. Oh, God. These two come through together.
And it's interesting when we talk about, like, Grandpa a long time ago.
Did Grandma pass more recently?
More recently.
More recently.
I want to highlight that situation.
She has me feeling thin, like I got thin and thin and thin,
or I'm talking about weight fluctuation,
my ability to basically take nutrients from my food.
She needed it to be known that
she was not starving at the end. There's
this feeling of kind of like, I no longer
want to eat, I don't
feel hungry, it's very much that.
This would be something that would be more gradual
or progressive. This is not instant with grandma,
but it would have been something that would have
essentially informed how this happened. There is not instant with grandma, but it would have been something that would have essentially informed how this
happened. There is an acknowledgement of
favoring one sister more than the other.
It starts bringing one up more than the other.
And
the way I would word this is they're just acknowledging
equity, equality. It's usually
their way of trying to say like, hey,
there was not a favorite.
There might have been a favorite, but it's
more of them on the other side saying,
look, in hindsight, I love you both in different ways.
Okay.
And that's important.
But it's like something that's pre-established
when it came to these two.
And there's like kind of cute rivalry
or I wanted to talk about it,
kind of like if you do it, I can do it.
If you do it, I can do it.
And it's kind of cute in the way it comes across.
So every sibling family stuff has different dynamics,
but it comes through as a sense of peace.
I very much feel a feeling of,
with this grandmother figure, it's actually interesting.
She brings up this feeling of passing
and then thereafter,
kind of everything taking off in a big way.
So if someone noticed that the timing
was a little serendipitous,
where like she passed right as someone's life is just taken off in a big way.
There's a feeling of, I see it.
I see it from where I'm at now.
And an awareness in the way this comes through kind of the far reaching aspect.
There is, Bowen, there's a very strong emphasis.
That's really, really interesting. When we look into family lore in your family,
as far as history goes, details might be a little back and forth. One interesting thing that comes
through for you is actually discovering a lot about family later on in life than we were ever
actually able to access earlier on. And so that may provide an opportunity to kind of fill in the
blanks with parents, their
history, family, what happened, what informed getting people here to there. But there's very
much this feeling of going back to move forward and being able to own truths and own things that
happened that might have been, to be honest, traumatic in some kind of larger way and being
able to kind of reframe that through the power of owning our story and communication and transparency.
I know it might sound a little odd,
but in doing such,
it feels like you heal previous generations of family
that were silent,
that weren't able to express themselves.
There's some kind of tragic ladies in your family.
And this is good to keep in mind,
situations involving women
who just did not get a fair shot.
And culturally sometimes that can contribute.
But there's definitely this feeling of you do not walk alone.
You might also, funny enough, find that you have a gay relative.
So that's kind of funny.
Again, it just comes in as things to be aware of.
And then, yeah, that history thing keeps coming through in a very comedic way.
History, comedy, and crossover with that.
So I can apply it for several different arenas ultimately,
but for you, by and large, I'm really excited.
Wow.
It feels really, really, really positive.
Give me one sec.
I'm just going to scribble really fast just to make sure I've got that just there.
For you, just keep in mind tummy health.
When we go to stomach digestive, kind of that arena,
just remember that I'm saying that there is a little bit of an emphasis on inflammatory stuff.
So not a problem unless you end up noticing it.
In which case,
you know,
we go to a doctor,
no big deal.
But like stomach might respond to stress as far as like
when we're going about
our day-to-day life.
Just remember that
that might be kind of
a litmus test
for overall health.
And that's kind of
good to consider.
For you,
it's good to keep in mind
any air travel that you do,
like getting in a plane
or whatever,
they are bringing up
ear, nose, and throat.
And that comes through very strongly.
That runs the risk every single time you fly of in some capacity kind of going south or dealing with congestion in the long term.
So just being mindful of that.
It's almost like if you plan these long flights, there's this feeling of we're going to have to prepare and kind of put in our calendar some time to heal and to kind of just deal with the inevitable, like, that comes from this in a way that would be more than your average person.
So just being mindful of that is good.
I feel really, really positive, you know, by and large with that aspect.
Okay, cool.
And just remember that I'm saying this because these things sometimes will just pop in randomly.
Your mom is still alive?
Yes.
Okay.
Keep in mind, they're bringing me to one of her eyes.
And this is kind of strange, but they are bringing me to eye health, clarity.
And sometimes if people end up getting a discharge in the eye or dealing with an eye problem,
I'm kind of putting that around her.
So it's just something to keep in mind.
And just if we notice, you know, it just kind of further validates in the long run.
But for the most part, a lot of your stuff seems to be about like taking family history and coming
to certain conclusions and talking about things that people would not be willing to talk about,
owning them, and then kind of reframing certain things in a way that actually is empowering
versus discouraging. Shame is a very powerful emotion.
And I think in so many ways in this lifetime,
there's the sense of you being able to kind of,
the buck stops with you,
end it with you in a big way.
And as you do that,
I feel like those who came before you
also heal through your openness,
through your vulnerability
and the courage that that takes.
Wow.
That is very resonant.
Thank you.
There's a lot there.
I know it's kind of all across the board, but what I want to do is I want to make sure
that we each all have time one-on-one in the long run.
And so I'm going to give you guys the scribble and I will give you my contact info.
We get the scribble?
Yes, you get the scribble.
Oh my God.
And then you and your friend or your friend and you as well, please contact Heather,
and we will set up a private one-on-one reading.
Yeah.
And we will do it.
We'll do it with you, you, and then the friend.
Yes.
And we can delve in, get into specifics, all of the goods.
Wow.
But I like to just kind of demonstrate, as I'm sweating.
No, absolutely.
No, that was really powerful.
Thank you so much.
Yes, of course.
So it just kind of like, I don't know how much there lands, how much doesn't.
But what I can say is, you know, I always kind of go in skeptically.
I think it's important to never lose sight of critical thinking and common sense.
But my goal when I meet with people is really just to relay actual information,
details that can kind of help people make connections that they wouldn't ordinarily make.
And as a result, kind of hopefully move forward a little bit lighter.
You might be able to deliver some messages to mom.
There's the sense of, you know, dealing with that brother situation at the time that grandpa passed did not look easy and kind of added more pain to an already difficult situation.
Okay.
So if you feel good, we can start and bring you in and talk about this because there's so much to talk about.
Look, man.
Oh, I see.
Wow.
Bowen, look over there.
Wow.
Is that culture?
Yes.
Oh, my goodness.
Wow.
Las Culturistas.
Ding dong.
Las Culturistas calling.
Breathless vibes.
We just had a moment.
Yeah, we did.
We just had an experience.
And I'm not terribly shocked either.
Me neither, but I am surprised by what came through. I was really manifesting something else. Me too. yeah we did we just had an experience and I'm not terribly shocked either me neither
but I am surprised
by what came through
I was really manifesting
something else
me too
very pleasantly surprised
yes me as well
and it's even
there's something very
I would say
healing about our guest
I've always thought this
I've always thought
wow he seems really
like when he's
with these people
at least the people
we've seen on TV
there is such a,
he has like an ASMR tone to his timbre
a little bit. Yes. You know what I mean?
First of all, I could sit, and luckily
E! makes it very
available. I could sit and watch YouTube videos
of our guests. Oh.
We've done it for years at this point. For years.
You introduced me to our guests and I was like,
this guy is special.
Well, just watching a series of people in a moment realize that what's happening is
really happening.
And we just had that experience.
I mean, this gets said a lot on the show and in various YouTube clips that you can again
can watch and the show on Netflix, et cetera.
There's so much to consume about our guests, including a tour.
But I just want to say everyone always has that thing like, where you start to realize that it's real.
And like, how could it have been known before?
Yeah, that sentence, like,
there's no way he could have known that.
There was a few things in there.
Yeah.
And I am really shook by yours
because I feel like what was said to you
was very poignant.
It was very poignant,
very resonant as of late.
Yeah.
Just the words family lore were brought up.
Family lore. And about how that's been a little, I'veant as of late. Yeah. Just the words family lore were brought up. Family lore.
And about how that's been a little,
I've sort of misaligned it.
And when I tell other people about it,
the story kind of is amorphous and unwieldy.
And like, this is an opportunity to really
get down to the anchor points of what the story is
and to own it and to move forward.
And that's been a lifelong thing, a narrative for me.
Talk about how you're feeling, because I could feel the impact. Well that's been a lifelong thing, a narrative for me. Talk about how you're feeling
because I could feel the impact.
Well, to be honest with you,
like it's a little bit of a blur
because there was so much there
in terms of specificity.
And I want to get into it
because like there was a lot of acknowledgement.
And I think that acknowledgement
will really help members of my family.
And also he said something health-wise
about really both of us,
but I'll be watching.
I'll be watching.
Going forward.
And that's why you need this experience.
Get on the thousands of people long waiting list,
maybe a million at this point,
or just tune into everything
and get this experience
when Tyler Henry hits the road.
Because this is very special.
He's an author.
He's a television star.
He's incredible at what he does. We're going to get into it. Yeah. He's just launched The Collective. He's going on. He's an author. He's a television star. He's incredible at what he does.
We're going to get into it.
Yeah.
He's just launched The Collective.
He's going on tour.
Yes.
We're going to talk about all of it.
Everyone, please welcome Tyler Henry.
Oh, my goodness.
I saw this coming.
I did.
You really are good.
How was that for you?
Oh, fascinating.
It's so interesting going into it because you never know what's going to come through.
You know, I aim when I do a reading to be able to connect to timely information,
stuff that's going on either in the here and the now or never got dealt with. And just those
moments of affirmation, or as you said, acknowledgement, I find can really act as
a catalyst in a person's life. And that transcends belief. Yeah. Yes. You were saying that you view
what you do as coincidence making. Yes. Am I phrasing that correctly? Absolutely. And I feel like I completely understand that.
Yeah.
You know, there's something,
a phrase that was coined by
one of the leading psychotherapists, Carl Jung.
And he referred to meaningful coincidences as synchronicity,
moments in which life seems to synchronize.
And those moments I find are a huge part of this work.
You're bringing certain things to people's attention
as a way for them to kind of make connections
or have a sense of affirmation. I mean, I'm kind of struck by like, as it's coming
to you, I mean, it was very surreal to see the scribbles in real life and you are so semantically
like engaged. And I wonder, obviously it's visual with the scribbles, but like, what are you
seeing? Can you describe in whatever terms you want,
like what that is like for you to sort of go there? Yeah. Like what happens? Yeah. Well,
you know, it's not like Otome Brown, my head doesn't spin around and the spirits are in my
ear, but it is one of those things where I get into an altered state of consciousness,
where I basically just actively daydream. And it's what a lot of people do in high school
when they're sitting there and the teachers. But in my case, I've learned how to kind of refine it paired with scribbling. And that allows me to
kind of pick up on subtle nuances, things that I think we all are exposed to, but often miss
because of our own implicit biases. So when I get in that state, I oftentimes will get parallels
between my own life and the person I'm reading. And if, for example, someone has a Henry and my
name's Tyler Henry, sometimes I'll see myself
as an image.
Did you just see that?
Yeah, it's weird.
Oh my God.
I've got a Henry.
A Henry.
Important.
And it's funny
because of that name
and the way it comes through
is just like,
right there, right there.
But they use me
as a way to kind of
communicate their message.
So my own lived experiences,
things I've gone through,
they draw parallels
and it reflects
that consciousness is so much more than just one thing.
Yeah.
I have to say, like, just to speak about the reading right now, like, I don't know if this
is something that you like to have after the reading, but I do want to let you know that
my grandfather's name was John.
So was his son.
So was his son.
So when you talked about the namesake being passed down, that really resonated.
And also my grandfather did pass away of a heart attack
when my mother was 27, the year before I was born.
And actually as a result of that tragedy happening,
it was actually my parents had broken up
and they got back together
because I think they realized that like life was too short
and they were in love.
And so you spoke a little bit
about the grandmother. They were divorced and it was like a tougher family situation because my
uncle was, he had many problems. He's also deceased. And it was a tough relationship with
my grandfather who I didn't know. But when you talk about the passing down of the name and that
toughness down the patriarchal line and on my mother's side of the
family, it is really, really hard. And my mother has a sister, Katrina and Christina, you know,
like, so I think that the duality kind of like thing and that rang true as well. And to hear
that she's on the other side, feeling chill and especially wanting them to know that she was not
in pain at the end of her life because she did kind of waste away.
I mean, dementia got very, very bad for her.
So to hear that she wasn't hungry and suffering is really going to help because I think that obviously she couldn't communicate what she was feeling.
So that's all really, really interesting.
And you also said I watch my stomach and I will watch that.
Yes.
But I have to say,
I was really struck by what you received.
Yeah.
I got some pretty, pretty pointed stuff.
Are you, I mean, as it's coming to you,
I think extemporaneously,
you are saying very sophisticated,
you're expressing very sophisticated ideas.
And I wonder if there is a lag
between what you're receiving
and how you put it into words.
Do you feel that?
Yeah.
I kind of liken my job to that of like a mailman in the sense that I don't write the letters.
I just kind of deliver the message.
I also draw parallels kind of between ASL interpreters, right?
So there's an interpretive element for sure.
And when I do my job correctly, the message gets delivered.
But there is a period of kind of having to assess, you know, do I deliver it exactly as I'm receiving it?
Do I keep in mind
a bedside manner?
You know,
and this job has made me
very diplomatic
in my ability to relay
sometimes really tough things
in ways where
I understand what's being said,
the person I'm reading
understands what's being said,
but maybe
everyone else watching doesn't.
How is it to like,
I feel like people direct
a lot of emotion at you
in the physical world
not to mention everything beyond that
but like is that a little
is there a stress test that you've sort of like
familiarized yourself with
there has to be a point where that kind of
buckles a bit
it's intense
I think by nature what I do is pretty ambiguous
it exists out of
really this quantifiable thing.
It's not scientifically proven as of yet.
And I don't even think it's necessarily a scientific claim.
For me, this exists more in the realm of creativity than it does science.
Now, I have had my brain scanned during a reading by scientists who have acknowledged that there's something weird going on in this noggin. As I scribbled, I, in essence, go into a sleep state,
and it was covered in the actual last episode of my show, Hollywood Medium.
So I've been kind of put to the test, in essence.
I've shown a willingness to go to a laboratory, get hooked up, see if anything's happening.
But I really view it more subjective.
It's like a piece of art in that if I paint you a picture,
it's going to have more meaning because it's for you.
And if someone else sees that picture, they might go, oh, I could paint that or, oh,
that's not a very great picture. But if it means something to the person I'm reading,
then that for me is the point. Would you remember the first time that you felt something was
different about the way you were perceiving the world and the beyond? Like, do you remember the
first time that that happened? You know, I found that when I really was 10 years old in April of
2006, I had my first premonition of my grandmother's death. But there were so many moments as a kid,
as an only child who very much was a loner and very much kept to myself that I found that I
would just so often see myself in other people. And it's kind of a hard thing to explain, but I
never truly felt alone despite spending a lot of time alone. And it's kind of a hard thing to explain, but I never truly felt
alone despite spending a lot of time alone. And when I would sit with people, we'd oftentimes go
into these really deep conversations, even when I was a kid and even when talking to adults that I
could just tell was not normal. And so I found that often what I was guided to discuss with people,
they would acknowledge as being timely or maybe important or maybe something on their heart. And
then I kind of learned, okay, there's something to this. There's an intuition behind why I'm bringing up
the things I bring up. Yes. Now on that topic of like guidance or being guided, how much of
what your reception is, is like your own intuition, something in the form of a guide,
something in the form of what is kind of like kinetically happening through the scribbles.
Like, how does that all come together for you?
Sure.
Well, the scribbles just kind of act as a process
that allows me to open up and kind of turn on
so that when I'm not scribbling,
I can kind of turn off and maintain a conversation.
But when I open up, you know,
it's basically a process in which
there are a lot of impressions that I have to navigate
and then deliver.
And very oftentimes, you know, it'll be very clear.
And then other times I have to make inferences
based off of the symbology that comes through.
So it gets kind of convoluted sometimes in certain explanations.
I think there's an aspect of intuitive pull
that one might have sometimes just to say things.
And even if you don't know where it's coming from,
if it makes sense, you know, it has to.
I wonder too, like, so when,
this is when you were very young
that you first realized this, what, nine, 10?
10 years old, yes.
So that's usually the age too,
when you start realizing a lot of things about yourself.
So there's a lot to reconcile.
You're becoming yourself
and you're stepping into your identity.
And also there's this other thing.
I wonder like when you were younger,
did you experience like overwhelm
and anxiety about this stuff?
And like, you know, your mother figures into your show.
But I wonder like how difficult was that to have not only the burden of growing up and everything that comes with that, no matter who you are, but also this other thing.
And how did that manifest itself in your life? Yeah, you know I think in many ways I'm thankful for being gay
because I feel like it helped me from
a very early age understand that
there are going to be people who inherently don't
like you for being different and
coming to that conclusion was a tough pill to swallow
especially as someone who was sensitive and
still very sensitive
but I learned to kind of reframe it, to view it
as something that was worth having courage
for and that individuality and that self-sacrifice ultimately was But I learned to kind of reframe it, to view it as something that was worth having courage for. Yeah.
And that individuality and that self-sacrifice ultimately was worth it.
And I think it's worth it for anybody who can live and be true to who they are.
You know, the world responds.
But, you know, it was a challenge.
I grew up in a very conservative household who a lot of Christians, in particular, of the denomination I came from, you into mediums. Felt that it was the devil.
And being villainized in that way,
I think a lot of gay people can't relate to.
Being told, there's something wrong with you.
But to be able to then take a step back
and realize that what makes us unique
is our superpower. That it's one of the greatest
gifts we can give to the world
is that courage to be true to who we are
and what makes us different.
And that's the lesson I learned.
You grew up in California?
I did, Central California.
It's a lot of agriculture.
We got cows, we got prisons.
We got cows and prisons.
We got cows and prisons.
If you get in trouble, you just walk across the street
and they just put you in the prison.
Oh my God.
I mean, like growing up there,
do you feel this like directional pull
to the cities in the state?
Like, right?
Like, was that always like
a target you were calling? Like if I had my druthers, once I get them, I'm going to,
I'm going to skip town. Yes. Well, you know, I was lucky enough. Hanford had a train station
and they would take us to LA when I was but a munchkin. I was a, I don't know if that's
politically correct. I was little, I was a child. I was under 18, I was around 16, 17. I would hop
on the train and go to LA. And sometimes I'd tell my parents,
sometimes I wouldn't.
I'd be like, later.
And that allowed me to both have an identity,
have some individuality, have some freedom.
I've never gotten in any trouble,
short of a couple of things.
But that allowed me to really put it to the test
and be able to see that I can rely on myself,
that there is hope,
and that if you stick around,
life generally does get better.
Yeah.
And so at what point,
like you talk about growing up in California, you know, you're drawn to L.A.
Eventually you do move there and we have Tyler Henry Hollywood Medium, which is really the show that puts you on the map.
So the conceit of that show is Tyler doesn't know celebrities.
Like he doesn't know who these people are.
He's coming in blind.
I wonder like now clear of that show, like how true was that?
And also when someone walked in and you did know them, does that change your process?
Totally.
So when it came to that, I genuinely was never told where I was going or who I was reading.
And especially in season one, I was a baby.
I came from this little town that really just wasn't very interested in pop culture or even really television.
And so naturally, as my career started being oriented around celebrities, it became one of the more frustrating aspects of my job,
reading people who have everything about them on the internet,
and even fans of them who oftentimes know their entire history.
And then by genuinely not knowing who they were,
I wouldn't know what they discussed in an interview,
or what was public, or what was even obvious sometimes.
And that was one of the downsides of actually not knowing what I was going into.
And I guess that would feed like a skepticism on the audience's part where,
you know,
Khloe Kardashian comes in and sits down and then there's you like,
and the conceit is he doesn't know who that is,
but I believe that.
Yeah.
Well,
there was one of you recognizing Megan Fox though.
And that was very adorable.
And I totally,
and I love,
and to be fair too,
I came on,
you know,
the Kardashians as one of my first gigs ever.
So I definitely knew them, knew Khloe
and all of that.
But by and large, there were a lot of instances
where people would come and answer the door
and they'd look like an older version of themselves.
I remember Bobby Brown answered the door.
But he was dressed in sweatpants and a t-shirt
and the Bobby Brown of the 80s
is very different in appearance than the Bobby Brown
who answered the door.
And Whitney came through. And Whitney came through.
And Whitney came through.
So it just reflects to me this idea
that we're all human.
We're all looking for the same things.
And what I always found so substantiating
in those readings
was the things that couldn't be Googled,
couldn't have been pulled from an interview
that someone gave.
And that, you know, they know
celebrities are oftentimes the first
to look themselves up
and see what's out there.
So I always had to kind of go for those things that were largely unknown.
What happened in the space between you moving to LA?
And I might be getting the order of events wrong, but you make a name for yourself as Medium.
How does that turn into the show?
It was a work in progress.
My first celebrity client was with Sarah Paulson.
I read her and that came through a phone call one day.
She called me up and said, hey, I heard that you're a medium.
Wow. I like reading.
And so I gave her one. My hand was shaking and
she asked if I had any love life advice for Jessica Lange
and then I about pooped my pants. Oh my
God. I was like, oh my God, am I going into gay
purgatory? This is amazing. I was like transitioning.
Oh my God. That was the first celebrity
thing was like Sarah Paulson asking
about Jessica Lange's love life.
It was so funny.
I was so iconic.
And then from there, you know, it just kind of evolved.
I ended up getting interest from the e-network,
which being a celebrity-based platform,
they only wanted a show about me reading celebrities.
Correct, yeah.
Which for me wasn't really my passion or my goal from the beginning.
Of course.
But it allowed for good exposure.
It allowed me to ultimately connect with demographics of people
that would have never even known what a medium was.
Yeah. I mean, I was so proud
to be able to sit with Lil' Kim.
And Biggie. Yes, and Biggie
and Lil' John. And there were just
so many different
groups of people that we were able to
tap into, but in a way that reflected a universal
need. Everybody has these questions.
I remember watching that Lil' Kim
interview and I was like, is Tyler Henry
going to solve Biggie's murder right now?
Yeah, he might have.
They cut to commercial on her being like,
well, I think everyone would want to know who killed him.
I was like, yeah, this is how we get there.
Can you imagine?
Honestly, but then you did say a lot of things
like it was definitely somebody he knew.
And that is, you know,
I think as time goes by,
I'm not going to gonna say anything but it becomes
clearer that that may have been the case i feel like it's gotta be kind of surreal when it becomes
like a really big question or when it comes to fruition and you were correct in such an alarming
way like for example when you mentioned to alan thick that he needed to watch his heart. That had to be very
sobering to realize what had happened for you. And I wonder, do you ever hedge when you're telling
someone what is really going on? You don't want to tell Alan Thicke that you see a massive heart
attack coming his way. Right. All I can really do is deliver the information. And it's been one of
the most challenging parts of my job because there isn't a school you can go to to become a medium, right?
Or read a book and understand the ins and outs of the complexities of that job.
So when I sit with someone, I view it as a responsibility to impart with them something valuable, something they can take and apply in a practical way in their life.
And in that case with Alan, it was, you need to go get your heart checked.
But I went on about it for about two to three minutes. And even I saw the unedited clip thereafter they'd sent it
and I just was railing on him about going and doing this.
And he just laughed it off and said, oh, thanks, Dr. Tyler.
Yeah, he did not take it seriously.
And it was frustrating because the bottom line is
all older men should keep in mind their heart.
Everyone at the bottom line should get a checkup
if you have health insurance.
Like, you know, be on top of your health
if you can.
You need to book the ENT.
I need to book the ENT.
I literally got off a plane
the other day
and my throat is sore.
He has not been well.
I have not been well.
It's so funny.
And like, you know,
he often does need more rest
after a flight.
Oh my gosh.
You do.
He flies a lot.
And he travels a lot.
I'm saying,
that is the thing.
Him mentioning air travel
and needing to rest.
Oh my God god I love it
you're Mr. Worldwide
you're all over
he is Mr. Worldwide
we're trying to make it
so that he can be
less Mr. Worldwide
but
that was crazy
I mean like
and I will be watching
my stomach now
because my stomach
has changed
I mean I'm a 34 year old man
but like
it is
I will say
if you see something
really dark with my stomach
you can tell me
no nothing there.
Just, you know, just watch the inflammation.
That's not what you want to be, the thing that's wrong with your stomach.
That is so uncomfortable.
That is true.
No hemorrhoids here.
Yeah, no thank you.
No, no.
Do you ever see this stuff for yourself?
Sometimes.
Yeah.
Yeah, there has been times that actually life or death situations I find are able to kind of bypass that inherent bias that I have about myself.
So I'm a bit of like a hypochondriac. I'm always worried that something's wrong with me.
But there have been times where my intuition superseded that. I remember I was in the car
with my mom one day and I was like, mom, I think my brain's swelling. I think I have water on the
brain. And she was like, okay, drama queen, whatever. And I ended up actually a couple
weeks later getting hospitalized with hydrocephalus, which is water on the brain.
And I'd had a brain cyst near my brain stem that was cutting off cerebral spinal fluid from flowing.
Went into emergency brain surgery, still have the scar and still actually have the cyst, which has grown a little bit since.
But yeah, that awareness was bizarre and clearly something else was looking out for me at a very integral time.
Is anyone else in your family touched with this gift?
How do you explain it?
Like, what do you say, touched with a gift?
Like, what do you say?
Just like.
I consider it an ability, just like anything else.
Right.
And we all have instincts.
Right.
We all can shake someone's hand and get a feeling or you give someone a hug and you kind of
pull back and you get a fleeting moment of a sense of something.
And I think people just don't really take it beyond that. I I think we all could. Oh, interesting. Yeah. Totally. But you
were so attuned to this moment with your grandmother as a child that it kind of was undeniable. Yeah.
And being an only child and being a loner actually helped me, I think, in some ways. It allowed me to
not be influenced by other people's ideas of what is okay and what's not okay and what's appropriate and what's inappropriate.
And so I would, you know, sometimes tell my teachers things about themselves.
My algebra teacher in ninth grade, I shared with her a message from her former mother-in-law and got into descriptions of what led to her divorce and various things.
And it was very humbling because, you know, in a certain way, she had tears in her eyes and the tables kind of turned from a kind of power dynamic of, you know, you're there with
your teacher. But I realized in that moment that it was something that when applied in the right
way could really have an impact on someone's life. And this was someone who did not have a biological
mother of her own who really loved her. So when she got into this family and got into this marriage,
you know, she thought she'd finally got that mom that she always wanted. And she did.
That didn't end just because the divorce.
Right.
I mean, this is the thing that I think
kind of transcends any skepticism
around this idea of clairvoyance, right?
It's like, well,
and not to make this comparison,
it's such a gross comparison,
but like with astrology,
it's like it is in ways pseudoscientific,
but it is giving
meaning to people. It's giving people a way to model themselves and their behavior and examine
parts of their life. I feel like you having this impact on people the world over and on such a
large scale is so meaningful. The Real Housewives of New York City are back for another bite of the Big Apple.

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty
and I'm the host of On Purpose.
My latest episode is with Jelly Roll.
This episode is one of the most honest
and raw interviews I've ever had.
We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story from being in and out of prison from the age of 13 to being one of today's biggest artists.
We talk about guilt, shame, body image, and huge life transformations.
I was a desperate, delusional dreamer, and the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble.
I encourage delusional dreamers.
Be a delusional dreamer.
Just don't be a desperate, delusional dreamer. I just had such an anger. I was just soional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate delusional dreamer.
I just had such an anger.
I was just so mad at life.
Everything that wasn't right was everybody's fault but mine.
I had such a victim mentality.
I took zero accountability for anything in my life.
I was the kid that if you asked what happened,
I immediately started with everything but me.
It took years for me to break that, like years of work.

to miss this one. On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean.
He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba.
He looked like a little angel.
I mean, he looked so fresh.
And his name, Elian Gonzalez,
will make headlines everywhere.
Elian Gonzalez.
Elian Gonzalez.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian Gonzalez.
At the heart of the story
is a young boy
and the question of who he belongs with.
His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzales wanted to go home
and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother
died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation.
Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network,

Talk about what you're excited
about with this tour. What's the run of show going to be?
What's that going to look like?
Absolutely.
Well, there's a lot.
We have 32 cities across the U.S. in the next year.
Wow, you're going to be busy.
Yes, but basically it's a show.
It generally goes 90 to an hour and a half.
Let's see.
I'm bad with math.
No, no, no.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We go, you know, an hour and a half to two hours.
You have other gifts.
There's other gifts.
Math is not one of them.
I'm there all day.
But I get to travel and basically read audience members.
And, you know, sometimes there's 2,000 people, sometimes there's 5,000.
And the big crux of that is going and figuring out where I'm at in the audience,
delivering the message in a timely way, and then moving on.
You know, it's almost like the clock is ticking when you're on stage for any performer.
You know, you can relate.
And so with my job, I have to be able to kind of go to the clearest line of connection,
generally the path of least resistance.
Yes.
And I have a whole bunch of ways that I kind of do that mentally.
But it ultimately allows us to have a shared experience where whether you're read or not,
seeing the process live, unedited, can be really cathartic and really interesting because
you see how many similarities people have, both with the people being read and oftentimes
the experiences that are informing it.
The amount of people who have had an experience with a ghost
but don't believe in ghosts is huge, right?
There's a famous quote of everybody has a ghost story,
not everybody believes in ghosts.
And you find that to kind of be exemplified in these readings
that people just don't feel comfortable talking about
sometimes these anomalous things,
but you realize they are universal
and they do
apply and can be comforting. Well on that, so like you describe the way that you're communicating as
sensory, but do you believe in the type of ghost that people talk about seeing? Like, do you think
that like it's possible or have you experienced these things that you sense physicalizing in the world?
I think it's certainly possible.
There's those kind of ideas of hauntings and ghosts and things that go bump in the night.
And for me, I take a more human approach in the sense that when I connect with an individual or I have someone come through and say, I tried to communicate with my loved one.
I tell people to remember these departed people are our brothers, our sisters, our family, our grandparents.
They're not things that go bump in the night.
And so when we have an experience, as far as our inclination might be to be afraid, you know, I encourage people to appreciate the ambiguity.
We don't have to understand something for it to have meaning.
And that's been a big lesson.
To your point about astrology too, I think there's this idea of causal versus correlative.
And I do not believe that the stars
cause things to happen here.
What I do think is that there are certain correlations
that have been made archetypally.
The way that things are
seem to often reflect a deeper pattern.
And for me, that's what a lot of metaphysics
kind of revolves around
is the underlying patterns of reality,
but not in a causal sense, more of a correlative sense. Sure. I have to say like a recent theme on this podcast is we
went to a psychic in New York and the experience ended up being one where I'm very sensitive and
susceptible as well. Bowen is more discerning than me, especially in this situation, but I ended up losing a lot of money because someone kind of ran me around. And I think that what I so appreciate about what you
do and what you've done for us is that you've given us helpful healing information and you've
sort of pointed us, but you're not scaring us. You know, I think that's, I, that's what I was
dealing with is I was kind of put in a position where essentially I had to pay this person in order for her to do spiritual work.
And I would say, I guess my question to you is.
And it was predictive.
It was predictive.
It was like, he's going to do, this person's going to do this.
And like, that leaves you in a terrible position of waiting for that thing to happen.
Right.
I mean, I was basically told I would get back together with my ex-boyfriend if I allowed her
to do what she was going to do
and there was a price tag on it.
Yes.
And I fell for that.
And so there's a lot of people
that are falling for that.
Yeah.
And so I guess,
what would you say
are the warning signs
or things to avoid holistically
when it comes to people
who, yes, may experience
things like you
and have a gift similar to yours,
but are going about it in like nefarious ways.
Sure.
Well, I think by and large,
there should never be a hook, right?
When you sit with someone,
it's true whether we are going to a doctor
or a therapist or a psychic or any practitioner,
you know, it's important that there not be a hook
like a chiropractor, you know,
oh, you need 10 more back adjustments, right?
I'm just like, so, and to be fair, you know, it is such a subjective field.
Anybody can claim to be a psychic, right?
There is no better business bureau for psychics.
And because of that, it leads to a whole menagerie of different personalities.
But I find with people, generally good advice is to go through a recommendation of someone that has been seen by someone that you know.
That's usually a good angle to go. And then also, and this is going to be funny because my name is Tyler Henry. And so it
is technically a stage name, but actually avoiding people who you can't figure out their last name.
That's a bad sign in the psychic industry. So if it's like, if I'm Maria Jade, well,
Maria Jade can't be Googled and we can't look at Maria Jade's, you know, criminal history.
So generally go with people who at the very least
aren't concealing their real name.
My last name is Coolwine, but that's on Wikipedia.
So you can find that.
Coolwine?
Coolwine. Too many vowels.
It's K-O-E-L-E-W-Y-N.
That rocks.
That looks nice on the page.
Yeah, that looks really good.
It feels really good.
Look, I'm sensing it in my head right now.
This psychic had one name and it was a very psychic-y name.
Yeah.
What was it again?
Oh, we can't name it.
Blink this out.
That is the most psychic name out there.
It was literally the most psychic name.
Yes.
That is so funny.
That is funny.
Leading into the question that's like the central question of this podcast,
there's so much media about psychics.
We have Medium, which starred Patricia Arquette,
which was based on Alison Dubois.
Yes.
We've got, you know, lots of things out there,
such as The Sixth Sense.
Yes.
Obviously by M. Night Shyamalan.
That was kind of like a huge pop culture moment.
I wonder, is there a piece of media
that is related to what you do
that you feel you really identify with?
Oh God, I have a horrible answer for this. What is it? I don't feel you really identify with? Oh God,
I have a horrible answer for this.
What is it?
I don't know if I identify with it,
but I think that
the dinner party from hell
with Beverly Hills housewives.
Oh, yes, of course.
With Alison Duvall
with the e-cigarette.
Yes.
You're never emotionally fulfilling.
You recognize that.
Fascinating.
I think that's such a good demonstration
that conveys the fact
that mediums are people
and they can get drunk just like everybody else.
And they aren't these infallible creatures who are like these mythical saints that deserve to be revered.
Mediums and the people who have this ability genuinely are usually tortured people.
And Allison herself in her books has talked about alcohol and how as a medium it's very easy to self-medicate.
And so I felt that despite the fact that it was handled all wrong,
years later, we find that the message
that she had did indeed end up being
true. It was
not done in the right way, nor at the right time
or place, but they also pushed her.
And so I think it was so interesting
just to see that almost like a cornered animal,
what they do, how they respond,
and she responded. And I
think it really created a broader conversation
about ethics, what's right, what's wrong in that setting.
But it was just a fascinating piece of entertainment
right there.
Right.
There is a danger to it.
I'm sure you felt,
and you don't have to bring up an example,
but I'm sure you have felt somewhat
endangered in that situation.
What I was saying earlier,
people are coming at you with so much expectation
and baggage,
and they want you to be this infallible person. Right. And I think it's so important to remind people this work is humbling.
And every single day I'm reminded of any inclination of an answer that I seem to get
only brings up a million more questions. And it is so humbling to realize that I don't have to
have all the answers. I don't even have to have a semblance of them to feel that joy that is
brought through, you know, from those on the other side and to know that there's more to life than what we see. And there's a certain
self-assuredness there. I'm willing to deal with being criticized and deal with skepticism up the
kazoo since I was a teenager because I know that inherently what I'm doing is real. And when you
know that, when you close your eyes at night and go to bed and you're like, I know that was real,
even if no one else believed in it, there's a certain confidence that comes from that, that has allowed me to keep going.
Yeah. That's real self-knowledge. That is self-knowledge that is not defined by other
people. Yes. And pretty amazing that you were able to have that self-knowledge and be confident
at a young age, because it was something, like I said, you know, when you are so convinced
you're a freak, no matter who you are
when you're 10, 11 years old, it's really kind of impressive that you were able to be like,
no, I'm standing here with my own two feet. This is my truth. And not that I can prove it,
but I will prove it. And you have, obviously. That's a fork in the road. It's an inflection
point where either you go full tilt into being whatever
freak you think you are or you start to
correct quote unquote that
thing and that is kind of... Yeah, which would be
a total shame. Right.
Absolutely. So the central question
of our podcast is, Tyler Henry,
what was the culture
that made you say culture was
for you? So this is basically that
formative pop culture
that now Tyler now knows
that's how Tyler now started from Tyler then.
Yeah.
You know, I will actually say the Amanda show.
Oh, timely.
Amanda Bynes.
Oh my God.
Extraordinarily timely.
Supernatural gift over there too.
You know, I think it's actually extremely timely
because it shows how she was able to
both go through so much as a child star, as so many do, but also to be able to carry a big way treat children as human beings worthy of being
entertained worthy of having you know intellectual jokes and i felt that that was really a big pop
culture shift where we started empowering younger people to be able to carry shows on their own and
if we could get her on snl can you imagine amanda bides on snl absolutely i mean and i think i think
in another world like she she could have taken over
the entire universe.
She could have taken over
the entire industry.
Absolutely.
You're so right.
She was able to,
I think watching her as kids,
my thought was like,
how is someone my age
doing this?
In a way that was like
just totally,
literally incredible.
Like, I don't believe this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There was something too
about like the way
I remember the adults
in my life reacting to her like she was John Belushi. Right. Like. There was something too about like the way I remember the adults in my
life reacting to her. Like she was John Belushi, right? Like I remember my dad being like, this
girl is the sketch where she was on the pillows. I think it was all that. This wasn't the Amanda
show. It was like, she was like a little girl at a sleepover or something, hosting some show from
her bedroom. And she was just crushing it. And my dad was like, this girl is so funny.
My dad was in love with, not in love with, my dad loved Amanda Bynes and Raven-Symoné.
Oh, great.
Talk about having the gift.
There you go.
But there was this ability she had to ground herself in character that, again, I make a joke about her having like a gift like a supernatural gift but there is something so intuitive
about anyone that does like really
good character work or sketch comedy and she
was doing it at
nine. Insane.
It's so funny to your note about charisma
you know historically charisma used
to be viewed as a psychic ability.
Charisma? Charisma.
The ability for people to speak and people to listen
in the early 1900s
was viewed more as a psychic ability
than just a personality trait
and so it even relates to psychic stuff
like people wondering why am I drawn to this person
yes, and why is it
that when some people speak we listen
and then other times some people speak and they could have
a perfectly great message but they just
don't have that connective factor
it's fascinating.
It's energetic.
It is energetic.
Yeah.
There was cable in the house, even in this highly conservative household.
Oh, yes.
We did have a TV.
We weren't just massaging the cows all day.
We did.
We were massaging the cows.
Title of app, massaging the cows.
That's right.
You had to massage the cows today.
I had a bull, actually, and it used to chase me.
And it was, yeah, no, it was not great.
The bull would chase you. The bull would chase you?
The bull would chase me.
His name was T-Bone
which was very apt for a bull
and then he ended up getting turned into a T-Bone.
But I'm a vegetarian so I worked out.
It wasn't me. I didn't kill the dung.
This is going to be a bizarre question but do you believe
that your ability to connect
informs your vegetarianism?
Somewhat.
I try not to overthink it when I'm eating.
Like, you know, if I'm at, well, maybe not
trick-or-treating, but if I'm eating, you know,
I try to, like, I'm selectively,
to be honest, vegetarian.
Got it.
Yeah, no.
I guess what we're asking is, do you think there is a connection there
with your ability?
Yeah, I think for sure. I think when it comes to just, like,
putting things in your body generally, like, if there's a lot of
trauma behind that, behind that organism went through to get into your body.
Like, I don't know how I feel as far as the consensus goes, but I try to avoid just like chowing down on too much.
Of course.
I feel like the hypochondria that you are diagnosing yourself with is mostly you being extremely thoughtful about just bodies and health.
Because it seems like that is an anchor for a lot of your readings.
It is. And it just kind of speaks to the fact
that we all have a physicality, we all have
susceptibilities, but knowledge is power
and we can avoid things.
Would you have been in the medical
profession? So I graduated high school when I was
16 to try to become a hospice nurse.
Wow. The phrase
to kill two birds with one stone comes to mind.
Just not both that. I was able just not about that I thought to do medium readings
and then perhaps go down that route
but I read the dean of my college of all things
and I know it doesn't sound real, it sounds insane
but he indeed, he told me
he was like, you know, you did this for me
this is very powerful, maybe you should consider doing it
for other people
and so I kind of had to, at that point in life
between Sarah Paulson calling me within a very short proximity
and being like, okay, am I going to be there for the elderly and the dying?
Or am I going to go to Hollywood?
It was a very, very weird position.
But I ultimately was able to achieve through this work what I always wanted to do,
which was just to validate that there's more.
How do you release this stuff?
Because I would imagine that carrying all of this
is incredibly taxing
and can in its own way be traumatic
if you were to read someone
who has been through something traumatic.
Like I wonder what you experienced
when you were telling me
that you were feeling someone was alive, alive, alive,
felt very old and then died.
Like how do you experience that and then release that?
I find that the release comes from delivering the message.
So very often when I say it,
it will kind of get alleviated in some way.
If I don't say something though,
it oftentimes will feel like it's building up.
And that's one of the most frustrating things
is when I leave and if something was still coming through
and I couldn't say it, it'll just kind of sit with me.
So you kind of learn how to blow off that necessary steam
and then reallocate one's energy.
Right.
And once you're done scribbling,
that is kind of your parameter of like, okay, we're done.
Yes.
Which is not a release necessarily,
but it is a demarcation of this is finished.
Exactly.
It's a demarcation.
It's an excellent way of kind of bifurcating
and saying I'm on and now I'm off.
Now, is that your choice?
Or when you say,
because we probably did that for about 15, 20 minutes, but I would imagine that like,
if there were, I don't know, spirits that really needed to keep talking, would you still do that?
Or do you end it? You know, I used to just kind of go for as long as I could. And I always have
to be mindful of time and other people's time. But I remember with Carmen Electra,
I read her on Hollywood Medium and we sat for, I want to say,
like close to six to eight hours together. It was one of the longest readings we've ever done
on Hollywood Medium. And it wasn't because she had an exceptional amount of people coming through.
It was just, there was a lot to work with in her personal life. And it all, you know, kind of led
to further questions and then further answers. And then, of course, more questions.
And six hours later, we were like, all right, I'm moving in, Carmen.
Yeah.
You're like, I'm sweating a lot.
Yeah.
I'm completely drained.
I'm like a potato chip.
Potato chip.
Yes.
This fall on Bravo.
It's time to turn up.
Think you've seen it all?
I don't think you've been a good friend to me lately. We're friends like that, who needs enemies?
You ain't seen nothing yet.

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty
and I'm the host
of On Purpose.
My latest episode
is with Jelly Roll.
This episode is one
of the most honest
and raw interviews
I've ever had.
We go deep
into Jelly Roll's
life story
from being in and out
of prison
from the age of 13
to being
one of today's biggest artists. We talk about guilt, shame, body image, and huge life transformations.
I was a desperate, delusional dreamer. And the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble. I
encourage delusional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate, delusional
dreamer. I just had such an anger. I was just so mad at life. Everything that wasn't right was everybody's fault but mine. I had such a victim mentality. I took zero
accountability for anything in my life. I was the kid that if you asked what happened, I immediately
started with everything but me. It took years for me to break that, like years of work.

Trust me, you won't want to miss this one.
On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean.
He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba.
He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh.
And his name, Elian Gonzalez,
will make headlines everywhere.
Elian Gonzalez.
Elian Gonzalez.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian Gonzalez.
At the heart of the story is a young boy
and the question of who he belongs with.
His father in Cuba.
Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home
and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him.
Or his relatives in Miami.
Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom.
At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation.
Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well.

Favorite house you went to on your
time? Favorite house? You know,
Boy George, funny enough. Wow. And he was one of the
hardest clients of the 200 that I read
just because, you know, he came, he was wearing
his makeup. Was he very skeptical too?
Yes. And he had what I call his war paint on.
You know, he very much was
Boy George the persona. And so
trying to get past that was a challenge with
a lot of celebrities. Trying to kind of penetrate
the public image, right?
And get into the human side.
And ultimately I was able to,
but that house was fascinating.
I mean, it was very clear
how hard of a worker he was.
His manager was there.
It might have been his manager's house.
So manager's a hard worker.
Oh, you mean Paul Kemsley?
PK.
PK!
He interrupted the reading
and actually validated a bunch on camera.
If you haven't seen it,
you should check it out.
It was hilarious.
PK literally comes in.
PK literally interrupts and is like,
no, no, no.
George, why aren't you validating? You know who this is, who he's talking about. It was hilarious. PK literally interrupts and is like, no, no, no. George, why aren't you validating? You know who this is, who he's talking about.
It was hilarious. Wait, I think I remember that
episode. Yes. Wow. I think this was even pre
or maybe it was like right when Doreen became
a thing. Yes. So
do you watch the Housewives? Oh, you know.
Do you ever feel like
you, so when you were watching
the Kyle Richards thing happen, were you like, oh my god,
Allison, did you text her?
Yeah.
You know what?
A lot of the mediums don't really care for each other.
That's a funny thing too.
I was wondering.
I will tell you, because I think it's a career that requires, for one, it's more than a career.
It's a calling.
And it's a calling that requires people to have confidence in who they are and what they feel.
And like performers, that can sometimes lead to personalities that are very intense, very centered around themselves.
And that, you know, doesn't always allow people to play well with others.
Yeah.
There are these emotional barriers where someone might feel perturbed or destabilized by being in the presence of another medium.
Where they're like, oh, I, you know, like I imagine insecurity comes into play.
Yeah, definitely can.
But I feel like you seem so secure in what you do.
Thank you.
I try my best.
You know, we all have our stuff,
but I just try to kind of own the vulnerability.
Yeah.
Is there a medium that you looked up to?
Yeah, there's a British medium named Lisa Williams.
She's not as well known,
but she's had a show on Lifetime.
And I really liked her approach.
She would sit with people and just kind of ramble.
And I love that.
It wasn't, you know, a thousand questions.
It was very much just let me sit and let me talk and get it all out.
And it would have very powerful effects on people.
So I find that the less the person has to say, the better as far as the client being read.
You want the medium to do the majority of the talking.
Well, with some people, that's not a problem.
Like Teresa Caputo will just go off.
Oh, yeah.
She'll bulldoze.
She'll bulldoze you.
Absolutely.
She will bulldoze.
But, you know, different people resonate with different mediums.
Yeah.
And so some people need, you know, the East Coast auntie with the big hair.
Right?
And some people want the, you know, quieter gay brother.
And that's okay.
It's like a therapist.
Right.
Everyone resonates with different sources.
Yeah.
Does this make dating difficult for you? I've been with my partner for going on eight years now. Right. Everyone resonates with different sources. Yeah. Does this make dating difficult for you?
I've been with my partner for going on eight years
now. Amazing. Yes, and I'm 28
myself, so it's been since then.
If anything, it really helped me
I think something we all can do with intuition
is really to go with those
first impressions. So often
we are inclined
and I want to say this. It's important that we
give people the benefit of the doubt, right?
But there are times when we know better.
When we meet someone and we know this person isn't right for us, right?
There are times when we know better.
And then we kick ourselves later on going, gee, why didn't I just listen to that gut feeling, right?
And that's something that helped me in my love life.
It allowed me to meet someone who I immediately knew the second I saw his photo.
I said out loud, oh, F, I'm going to marry this person.
I have to tell you, I think this is, I have the gift too.
I've had three boyfriends.
Have you?
The first time I saw a picture of each one of them, I said, that's my boyfriend.
Wow.
I swear to God.
Yeah.
Like three months before each of them, I met each of them.
I had seen a picture of them.
And the second I saw a picture of them,
I was like,
I know that's going to be my boyfriend.
Wow.
That's powerful.
Cause it just goes to show,
you know,
you know what's for you.
Yeah.
And like two of them,
I was friends with for a while before we started dating.
And I kind of knew the whole time that it was going to become that.
And I don't know if I was talking myself into it,
but you have competition is all I'm saying.
I love to get this man a TV show.
Hollywood medium.
We could take it together.
Honestly, people would fill out stadiums.
Can you imagine?
To see me be like, I felt that too.
Yeah, you just stand back.
Same.
I just want to say same.
I was 100% on board with this the whole time.
Bet.
Bet.
Now you see the photo of your partner.
The intuition floods in.
Yes.
This extends into you meeting him in person.
That's right.
Yeah, so it was one of those things
where I was already in a relationship
with someone who was much older than me
when I was 19.
Oh, damn.
And yeah, it was one of those things.
And I had gotten a dog with him
and we were like,
oh, living a little gay life.
And then,
I see this picture of,
plan two is my age.
And just the moment I saw that, I knew, okay, my life's a little gay life. And then I see this picture of, Clint, who is my age. And just the moment I saw that,
I knew, okay,
my life's going to change radically.
This relationship isn't right for me.
I'm going to have to give up the dog.
I'm going to have to end up living somewhere else.
But it's all worth it for this person.
And that might sound completely illogical and irrational,
but it was a knowingness
that ultimately proved to be true.
I was able to get out of that situation
that didn't work for me and, you know, happily ever after.
Wow. A third of your life almost.
Yeah.
It's been amazing.
What I love about him so much is, you know, even as interesting as the medium stuff is,
it's really more just two human beings who really love each other.
Oh, that's so beautiful.
Really lucky to be able to have him.
That's amazing.
And it also must be quite grounding.
Yeah.
But I would imagine that you probably hedge with like how much you put on his plate too.
Yeah. Because that's got to be really, that's an interesting walk. It's like you want to be
able to talk about your day at the office, but oftentimes that's obviously extremely personal.
You must operate in some way like a therapist where there is some like,
you know, clinical distance or medium client, what would you call it? Like privilege.
Yeah. And you know, there's something to be said about compassion fatigue too,
which a lot of practitioners of both therapy
and I think even just interviewing people,
you can get compassion fatigue.
It's something that definitely applies
and is a part of it.
I remember I unloaded on my boyfriend one day
about my work, I might add.
I unloaded all these...
Oh, jeez.
Oh, jeez. You are the all these. Oh, jeez. Talk about gutter mind.
And that concludes the interview.
You are the gutter.
Gutter mind.
Oh, jeez.
The gutter's coming through.
The gutter's coming through.
I unloaded.
Maybe that's the title of that.
A message that I had given to someone that day.
And it was really heavy.
And Clint went to his therapist and told his therapist,
oh, Tyler told me about his work day.
And the therapist said, well, tell him to stop.
You know, that's interesting.
Yeah, interesting.
So I had to learn boundaries and kind of barriers
and understanding that, you know,
I don't want to put other people's stuff on him.
For me, you know, it's just my day-to-day job.
I'm able to let it go,
but it's not always the same for those around me.
And what does he do?
He basically is my assistant, photographer,
jack of all trades.
Love it.
I don't drive, so he drives me everywhere.
Still?
Still.
28 years old, I know.
But hey, it's scary.
Those highways, you are.
They definitely are scary.
Look, there are a lot of people around our age who just never caught on with them.
It's one of those things, too.
It's like, I ain't never going skiing.
Same here.
I'm never going skiing
because I know what'll happen.
I know what spirits are telling me.
Don't do it.
For sure.
Sunny Bono,
don't do that.
That's just one.
That's just one of many.
So if you don't want to drive,
don't drive.
Exactly.
If you have your boyfriend driving you,
if he's busy,
we know your mom famously drove you.
Exactly.
She still does.
She's outside down the street.
Is she actually? She is actually down the street. Oh my God. She loves you and she loves you. If he's busy, we know your mom famously drove you. Exactly. She still does. She's outside down the street. Is she actually?
She is actually down the street. Oh my god.
She loves you and she loves you.
Oh my god. Tell her we say hello.
Honestly, that is... I'm ahead with the mom.
Four quadrant over here.
Wait, that's incredible.
I have to say, it's just like
I wonder how much of me was
skeptical coming in. I will say I was on the phone with my
mother before this and she goes well you know
like you guys are on Instagram
and I'm sure you've talked about things and I was like I mean
look in a world where this is the way it works
because we didn't know you we know that you're
on television where a lot of shit is fake
and so I was prepared
for honestly either thing but
you brought things up
and I'm sure for you too because
that was very personal and specific.
Literally, the side of my family I wasn't even thinking about.
I actually was, I have a friend from high school I was hoping would come through.
But like this side of my family, I think is what needed to come through.
And I think it's the things that I literally had probably more questions about, but they weren't top of mind.
Just because my mother is very, she's very private.
She doesn't share a lot about her history.
She very much wanted to be like my mom.
And she didn't want really me to know much about like her growing up.
But I always knew it was tough.
Like she describes her life and I'm like, on paper, that sounds like that would have been really hard.
So that's what I mean when I say I think what needed to come through for me did. And I feel like, I don like on paper that sounds like that would have been really hard so that's what I mean
when I say I think
what needed to come through
for me did
and I feel like
I don't know if you feel like that
I felt that way
definitely
thank you
I'm excited to talk
one on one
more in depth
but we really do find
that very often
the person being read
ends up kind of being
a medium themselves
in the session
because they go
and tell family members
information that can also
kind of secondarily
help them
talk about the collective
how is this working?
How do people find out about it?
So the collective is basically like a live show, but virtual.
And I paired with Mark Cuban's company.
Oh, Mark.
So, you know, I'm going to get some free medication.
But no, he created this platform.
It's basically like a podcast, basically.
Also though, very akin to kind of like a live show
where you can bring people up virtually.
They can be in Oshkosh or
South Africa and they get to
interact and everyone gets to watch and
have an experience and I basically do
readings on that platform. So I do reading
giveaways every week. I do group readings
twice a month and it's just a really great
opportunity if people can't come to a live show to get
to see that process and people can
unsubscribe anytime. So whether
they're for 12 months
or a month,
it's just an opportunity
to be able to connect
and really see the essence
of what I do.
See, there's no hook there.
Exactly.
You can unsubscribe.
You can unsubscribe.
You can fuck off
as far as he can care.
And the interesting thing too,
sometimes people will leave,
come back,
leave, come back.
And people don't always
need to tune in
every single group reading.
But we have people
leave sometimes for six months and say,
hey, I need a little Tyler time.
I'd just like to maybe see what happens.
And then they get something out of it.
Because I can imagine that this is also something that would really scare people.
I feel like we both came in and we were like, we'll see what happens.
But if you have someone that is really close to you that you've lost,
or if you're in a really difficult situation,
or you were in a very confusing situation,
I can imagine that interacting with someone like you
can feel very vulnerable and revealing.
Yes, and it's intense.
You never know what the medium is going to say.
There's an element of ambiguity.
Is it real? Is it fake?
Is it objective? Is it subjective?
And that creates a very liminal space
for the person being read.
The person being read kind of gets
into a state of transition internally where, you know, things have melted away previously and they don't know where things are going to go.
And that's a very almost perfect place for a person to be in when they're getting read.
That liminality actually helps the process.
What's the count on the number of readings you do in a week, in a month, in a year?
Like, do you have that number?
It's hard to say because it fluctuates, but I do, I mean,
countless giveaways as far
as usually six private one-on-ones
virtually in a week.
And then I have group readings both in person,
virtual group readings every two
weeks, which sometimes will go up to like 10 to 15
people. So it's a lot, but it's like a muscle
and one I constantly, you know,
kind of have to refine and work on
or else I get kind of constipated.
I get that.
Constipated spiritually.
Maybe that's the title of that.
That's right.
Constipated comma spiritually.
Pretty good.
Would that be right grammar?
Sure.
You don't even need the comma necessarily.
Constipated spiritually.
See, constipated spiritually
with the comma kind of like feels like
Oh, if the adverb
is coming
if the adverb is coming
after the adjective.
He's been very
on his grammar shit.
Oh, I love
this is going to be
a Gwyneth Paltrow candle
what you guys are describing.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
No, definitely.
Oh, my gosh.
What do you see
for Taylor Swift?
Oh, my God.
She's everywhere.
She's everywhere.
She's everywhere.
I see her constantly.
Does she ever come through
when someone's reading
and she's like,
hey, Fortnite drops

Can you imagine?
I'm like,
I'm seeing friendship bracelets.
Oh, jeez.
No, it is.
She's everywhere.
It'll be very interesting
to see if she ends up
marrying Travis Kelsey.
Do you see that for her?
It's very possible.
Very, very possible.
I see that for her too.
Yeah, yeah.
They're both stand-up people. I mean, who are they to ignore the alchemy? As the song says. That, very possible. I support it. They're both stand-up people.
I mean, who are they to ignore the alchemy?
As the song says.
That was not perfect, but don't get mad at me, Swifties. for another bite of the Big Apple. Look who it is. Joined by elite new friends.
Rebecca Minkoff.
Have you ever heard of her?
But things could change in a New York Minute.
She had this wild night and ended up getting pregnant by some other guy.
What?
You told her?
Not today, Satan.

On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean.
He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba.
He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh.
And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere.
Elian Gonzalez.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian Gonzalez.
At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with.
His father in Cuba.
Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him.
Or his relatives in Miami.
Imagine that your mother
died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation.
Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story,

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, and I'm the host of On Purpose.
My latest episode is with Jelly Roll.
This episode is one of the most honest
and raw interviews I've ever had.
We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story
from being in and out of prison from the age of 13
to being one of today's biggest artists.
We talk about guilt, shame, body image, and huge life transformations.
I was a desperate, delusional dreamer.
And the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble.
I encourage delusional dreamers.
Be a delusional dreamer.
Just don't be a desperate, delusional dreamer.
I just had such an anger.
I was just so mad at life.
Everything that wasn't right was everybody's fault but mine.
I had such a victim mentality.
I took zero accountability for anything in my life.
I was the kid that if you asked what happened,
I immediately started with everything but me.
It took years for me to break that, like years of work.

I feel like it's time for I Don't Think So, Honey.
Yes.
This is our segment on this podcast
that we do every single god-d-week.
So I have something.
I actually don't know if it exists in the world,
but if it does, it shouldn't.
Okay.
And this just came up today,
and I need to talk about it.
It's kind of theoretical.
I don't think so, honey.
This is Matt Rogers.
I don't think so, honey.
As time starts.
I don't think so, honey.
Meth gators.
Apparently, like the cocaine bear,
gators can get into meth and become a meth gator.
Oh, no.
Again, I don't know if I read this on a website.
That's not true.
But apparently, in Florida, if you flush your drugs down the toilet Again, I don't know if I read this on a website. That's not true. But apparently in Florida,
if you flush your drugs down the toilet
so the cops don't find them,
where they're going is the swamps
and the meth gets eaten by the gators.
And can I just tell you,
think in your mind's eye what a meth gator is.
And if you're not saying, I don't think so, honey,
I don't think so, honey.
We have to, we have a problem with drugs in this country.
We really do.
We have to get into Florida, get the drugs out of country. We really do. We have to get into Florida,
get the drugs out of the homes. And the gators.
And get the drugs out the gators.
Because unless it's a film directed
by Elizabeth Banks, I do
not want to see Meth Gator.
Did I see Cocaine Bear? Not yet.
I thought maybe it wasn't a good thing
for the theaters because I thought it would be really loud
and, I don't know, Cocaine Bear-ish.
And I can't really bear-ish that type of film in the theaters because I thought it would be really loud and like, I don't know, cocaine bearish. And I can't really bearish
that type of film
in the theaters.
But at home,
I can do it.
Elizabeth,
I'm going to rent it.
Meth Gator,
Elizabeth Banks,
come on.
I do think so, honey.
And that's one minute.
Where did you find out
about this?
Patrick House,
our friend,
House.
We have a best friend.
We have a matching tattoo.
That's a house.
We have the same last name.
So we call it
House of Rogers.
House of Rogers.
Precious.
So he sent
us a, because Florida is on mind
right now because Taylor Swift has a song called
Florida. And so he sent us a screenshot
of an article and it said,
Meth Gator is becoming a problem. And he said,
what did Taylor know?
Florida, hell of a drug. I just found out
about sheep's head fish. What's that?
It is a fish with
human teeth. That's my ex It is a fish with human teeth.
Oh, that's my ex.
How did they get that teeth?
That's your ex?
That's my ex.
Look at that.
No.
Look at that.
Those are all over Florida.
That is horrid.
Isn't that awful?
That's one of the worst things
I've ever seen.
How?
How?
You know what?
Furthermore,
I think that's where
my copper wire went
was that alligator.
Not the meth gator.
Meth gators.
Can you imagine?
And now I kind of love it as a film.
I do.
Yeah.
Well, talk to Elizabeth.
Set that meeting up.
I might.
I might set a meeting.
Set a meeting.
Like, I might set a meeting with Elizabeth.
She's a big production company.
Huge director.
You know she produces all the Pitch Perfects.
Oh, there you go.
And I believe she directs them.
So to think she couldn't get
No, absolutely.
Meth Gator off the ground.
Oh, yeah.
I think Cocaine Bear was a hit.
It was.
It was.
It was everywhere.
It just has some choreography
to Alligator.
Yes.
I think it could be good.
Yes.
It's the Taylor Swift of movies.
It's everywhere.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There you go.
Okay.
Okay, so now it's going to be
Bowen's turn.
I have something and it's
Is it spicy?
It's spicy. It might rub people the wrong way. That's okay. But it's going to be Bowen's turn. I have something and it's... Is it spicy? It's spicy.
It might rub people the wrong way.
That's okay.
But it's okay.
All right.
Well, this is Bowen Young's I Don't Think So Honey.
His time starts now.
I Don't Think So Honey, Santa Monica.
I just came from you.
Do you live there?
Malibu.
Malibu.
Oh, good for you.
I'm happy for you, Tyler.
Thank you.
Santa Monica, what are you even still doing?
I hadn't been to you in over a decade and I had to go there for a work event today,
and I thought, there's nothing here.
Fucking freaks are on the boardwalk every day,
screaming, yelling.
The roller coaster ate shit.
I don't think so, honey.
There's nothing there.
Why would I ever go to the West Side?
I'm sorry.
Since private practice, you have not had a moment, Santa Monica.
You have not had a culturally significant moment.
And I don't know.
I think for the Olympics in LA in
2028, we better be
doing something with that area
where... Knock it down, put up a parking lot.
It's already mostly parking lot, girl. Period.
I think you really
build a lot of housing there for people
because no one cool is
living there. I'm sorry if you live in Santa Monica,
but this is my opinion. And I
think we build a lot of affordable housing in Santa Monica and then
that'll actually make it a worthwhile place. That's one
minute. I think that you've never
been so dead on. It's almost like you have the
gift. I have the gift. Because you know what we need
to do is knock down Santa Monica
and put up apartments.
Maybe a couple of sports venues for the Olympics
if it adds to the community. 100%.
If it adds to the community.
I'll tell you what Santa Monica is.
It's a good picture.
It's a postcard.
One picture.
One picture.
One, that's it.
And you're right.
That roller coaster ain't shit.
That Ferris wheel?
Mm-mm.
I've seen bigger.
One thousand percent.
First of all,
let me tell you something.
It goes Malibu,
Venice.
Yes.
Because I'm a Venice bitch
now in my Lana day.
There you go.
I'm in my Lana Del Rey era.
Fabulous.
What do you see for her?
Tunnels under Sunset Boulevard.
You're right.
You're right.
Right now she'd be like,
no one could have known that.
But then,
yeah,
fucking Santa Monica
is down there.
Yes.
It's down there.
Ugh, Malibu's so cheap.
Oh, well,
it's kind of going down Santa Monica.
But I have a rant against Priuses, Prius drivers, just generally.
Okay, for today?
No, yeah, I'm here.
For today?
All right, this is Tyler Henry.
We're working on a tight schedule.
Yes, we're on a tight schedule.
We got it, we got it.
No, I'm just kidding.
Let's do it.
Okay, this is Tyler Henry.
I don't think so, and his time starts now.
I don't think so.
Prius drivers are the absolute worst.
I'm calling out every single listener who has a Prius, particularly a gray Prius.
I'm going to throw that out there.
Oh, he sees it.
It is driven by cranberry juice and a dream.
It is motivated down that little highway by the farts of environmentalists.
It is powered by pure carbon emissions.
In a great feat of irony, and this only goes 30 seconds, Prius drivers are on my poop list.
Oh, and that's 30 seconds.
That's 30 seconds. That's 30 seconds.
He got it out.
He got it out.
That was concise.
Can I tell you, I think that a lot of the readers, Katie's Pablos assistant finalists
might be driving a Prius and they are going to drive off the road.
And I would just say, if you've driven off the road, call for help.
Now hit the on star.
We're sorry to have shaken you so.
They don't go fast enough to go over a cliff.
Oh my God, Tyler.
They really don't.
They're just going to come to a very gentle stop in the middle of the road.
So you're saying Priuses, they are a thing of the past and should remain in the past.
Oh, absolutely.
We need to quit making them.
Just walk.
Just walk.
Just walk.
We're thankful for Priuses for everything they've done to create the model for a hybrid car.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I had a mean dean in high school who drove a Prius.
She was out to get me
well there was a lot of adults
a lot of adults at my high school who really did not know what to do with me
I mean this is true
he had a theater teacher who refused to acknowledge
his star quality
and here's the thing when you meet Bowen
it's immediately evident
and so she was jealous
I think a lot of the adults were jealous of you
I will shout out one adult who was
amazing. Adrian Holngin. He's retiring
after years and years of working as
one of the best math teachers in the country.
And he was my improv coach. There you go.
And he gave me my path, which was
to do frivolous comedy
on stage. And while we're doing this, I want
to shout out my fourth grade teacher, Ted Dumagard.
At the end of the year, he looked me in
the eyes and he said,
you need to take life less seriously because your essence is fun
and you take yourself too seriously.
And then I never took myself seriously a single day in my life ever.
That's beautiful.
I don't take myself seriously.
And that is why we love you.
Tyler, any adults you want to shout out?
Oh, you know what?
I want to shout out to my mom and dad, Tristan David Coleman.
He exists.
People are like, where's your dad?
Is he just, is he gone?
Is he in the ether?
No, he's just shy.
He's just shy.
He's a shy guy.
You know, the greatest gift you can give your child
is to love them unconditionally.
And when you do so,
you become foundational to their self-esteem.
And that's the gift that my parents gave me.
Beautiful.
Word up.
Word up.
Beautifully put.
This has been such a great experience and what an amazing time getting to know you and get to talk to you. I can't wait to follow up. Word up. Beautifully put. This has been such a great experience
and what an amazing time getting to know you
and get to talk to you.
I can't wait to follow up.
I know we both can.
Yes, I'm very excited.
And you have to go see Tyler on tour.
Is there a website where they can get tickets?
Yeah, the tylerhenryhollywoodmedium.com.
There you go.
Yep.
tylerhenryhollywoodmedium.com.
Very on brand, right?
The other domain was taken, tylerhenry.com.
tylerhenry.com.
Don't go to that one.

Tyler's very good at the wordplay.
Thank you. You're very good at that.
Very good.
You can see the joke coming.
You can see the word.
It's the end of the episode.
We end every episode with a song.
Yes.
I can see you.
I can see you.
What are the words to that song?
I don't know.
I just know the chorus.
Well, now we're all tortured poets pilled.
So we don't, we totally forgot to speak now.
Sorry.
Sorry, Taylor.
Bye.
