This week, I’m giving you more psychics, lots of old-timey bluegrass music, and some CONNIE! Enjoy.
This week, our clips are from a BBC series. I decided to go against my instincts and assume you all are not fully aware and therefore bored with the events in this show. Enjoy The Amazing Randi, Uri Geller, a young Richard Dawkins and an orgasmic medium.
