Let us soak you in for a minute.
- Brought my pompoms.
- Do you see the pompoms on her fingernails?
Look at this.
- I just have to say,
we were planning to talk about your hair.
I can't not talk about your hair, it's so amazing.
- I don't know why my hair has become a thing,
I've always had big hair.
Just this is my hair
- So fabulous.
- Come sit, make yourself comfortable.
- Thank you.
- Is it the bigger the hair, the closer to God?
- Yes.
I just like big things (laughs).
- More is more is more.
- More is more is more, yes.
- Has the hair gotten bigger through the years?
- I don't know, I think it's just different,
my hair's just blonde.
Look at my hair there, it's pretty big.
- [Ross] Oh my gosh (indistinct).
- Oh my God, you and I Theresa had the same hair.
You watch Poison Ivy, this like B movie
I did back when I was 16.
It's the same did hair. - [Theresa] Yes I did.
Yes, exactly.
That's where the inspiration came from.
- It's so long and lustrous as well.
- Well, you gotta do something when you get older,
when you get mature.
- [Drew] By the way you look fantastic.
- Thank you, so do you.
- What is the story behind the dream job with the pompoms?
- Oh, well I've always wanted to be
a Dallas cowgirl cheerleader.
- Yes. (group laughing)
Well you didn't become a Dallas cowboy cheerleader,
but you did become probably the most
famous psychic medium on the planet.
- The most famous.
- Right, yes.
Well hello.
I've seen every episode of "Long Island Medium",
I love how much closure you bring to people and what you do.
And I also love how accessible you are,
you go out on the street and
whether you're in a grocery store or a deli
if you get a message, you just give it to people, right?
- I say that's why I'm good at what I do,
'cause I sense and feel things.
And I learned the years of growing up
with all my anxiety and everything,
it was because I was holding everything in,
I wasn't expressing it.
So it's just easier for me to tell someone something.
And I feel that if spirit shows me enough things
to get me to say something, then I'll say it.
I'm always sensing and feeling things,
but spirit has to show me three things
before I actually will approach someone.
- It's so fascinating to think what could have been
if you didn't listen to this gift.
- I don't know, I honestly, I don't know.
And I always say that I still have the greatest support,
my parents foremost and foremost.
They have supported me with everything that I do,
even though my dad is still really
freaked out about what I do.
- [Ross] Is he really?
- Oh yeah.
I'll come over and he'll be like,
"Just make sure you take the dead people with you."
He's always like, you know?
- How was that though when you were a kid
and you were starting to do that?
How did your parents accept that you were just crazy?
- No one thought I was crazy, that was the thing,
I come from a very spiritual family
and a very strong faith family.
And my mom would always be like, "Oh, that's nice.
That's lovely."
And no one really even made a big deal
about the things that I would say or do.
And it wasn't until it was later in my 20s, early thirties,
that I discovered that not only was I able to
connect with my own departed loved ones,
but everyone else's.
- [Ross] Wow.
- You I heard did a reading at a gynecologist's office.
- Oh. - Is this true?
- There is no boundaries.
- [Ross] Wow. - I feel the same way.
- No boundaries.
- I can see you doing an interview
in a gynecologist's office, of course, yes.
- As long as the camera's pointed the right way,
over the shoulders.
- [Theresa] Exactly, exactly.
Absolutely. - How did this go down?
- I don't even remember,
I don't remember half of the things that I say or do.
'Cause you have to realize they're not my thoughts,
feelings and emotions. - [Ross] Oh.
And this is one of the things that I loved about for years,
'cause I can't explain what happens to me,
it just happens.
I don't know how it works,
all that I know is that spirit just starts to
clear out my own personal thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
And they start to replace them with things
that mean absolutely nothing to me,
but are life changing to the person that I'm speaking to.
- You just step aside and something comes through you,
and then are you are still present?
Are you thinking about laundry or things you have to do,
what is going on in your head?
- No, I can't even tell you,
I don't even remember what happened a half hour ago.
- [Ross] Wow.
- And I actually did something with Dr. Amon
where he actually read my brain as I read somebody.
- [Ross] And? - And it actually showed
that I'm able to access a part of my brain
that we typically don't,
and that my brain shows no activity as I'm reading.
- [Ross] Wow. - Yeah.
- That is so cool. - Wow.
- I just love also that you are both
giving of yourselves right now,
and you're both doing podcasts.
Will you both talk about that really quickly?
- Will we haven't spoken since you've been on my podcast
and since you had the result. - We haven't
- I don't even know how it affected your life,
how it affected you.
- We did a podcast crossover, my podcast Hello Ross,
Theresa came on and I went on hers, Hey Spirit.
And she gave me a reading, and it was so touching.
Because I've talked openly here about losing my parents,
and people very close to me, and it's so tough.
And I think anyone who's lost anybody,
whether you are religious or you're not,
or you believe in afterlife or not,
you just wanna know that they're okay, right?
And that's what you give to people.
- Yes. - And I have to say,
there are even things I saw in this reading you told me
that I didn't get and then
my mom's best friend watched later.
And she was like, "Ross,
that was what she was talking about.
- [Theresa] That's what happens.
- Yes. - By the way, we have a clip,
can I show it? - Oh please.
- I wanna see this.
- Me too.
I literally started to write mimosas.
- Oh my God, yeah, that's so funny.
You have it right there, yeah.
It was wine, she was always, oh God,
if you gave her a glass of pinot grigio
she'd eventually do something.
Can I show you something?
- Sure.
- I don't know if this violates a rule
if I show you her picture, does it?
- No, no.
- She's holding a mimosa.
Shut up.
- I swear right there.
- I see it, it's a mimosa.
- It was so crazy, 'cause my mom didn't drink mimosa,
so I corrected Theresa.
And then I looked up on the shelf in front of me
and there was my mom holding a mimosa,
like dummy, listen to Theresa, I did drink mimosas.
And I didn't even know that.
And that kind of validation,
and that's why I'm so fascinated by what you do,
is because you give those of us who are in such great pain
a little something to hold onto.
- I think also, I heard you're
on the 10th anniversary of your tour,
and you're actually gonna go overseas
now that you are a national treasure.
What is that tour gonna be like?
- Oh, I don't know, I'll find out when I get there.
- I have seen you go live,
and she's in a room full of 2000 people.
Theresa, I don't know how you do it.
- Oh that's right, you came to my live show too.
- Yeah, at The Paramount in Huntington, here in Long Island.
And you're gonna read our audience
coming up here on the show.
Which you don't wanna miss.
- So we're gonna cut to a commercial break,
and when we come back Theresa's gonna read the room,
literally.
- Okay wow.
(joyful music)
