Hello, and good evening.

My name is Stevie Babes,

and I am the people's psychic.

[audience clap and cheer]

My friends, I was at an event like this last week.

A young man came to me,

in spirit.

My friends, this young man

had hung himself.

[crowd gasping]

Because he was being bullied.

[audience mutter]

His parents were in the audience,

hoping for a message.

Indeed, their son was there.

Because he's always there with them.

He never leaves their side.

And this young man told me

since being in the spirit world,

he'd never been happier.

Whereas the bullies

were miserable...

and consumed with guilt.

I asked his parents if anything nice had happened to them recently.

And then his mum said,

"We recently got double glazing."

I said, "Your son sent you that double glazing."

My friends,

there is no such thing as death.

Only transformation.

You've had your struggles too, haven't you, Mama?

There's a big, beautiful, fluffy white cat

that's on your lap.

That cat has chosen you,

because you have an infinite amount of love to give.

Let it flow, my love.

Let it flow.

And feed that cat.

[applause]

You made out like we were boyfriend and girlfriend,

and then you...

You treat me like shit.

I didn't mean to.

Sorry.

She was ringing me all weekend.

-I didn't answer. -Oh, she's coming.

Hi, babes.

I've been trying to get a hold of you all weekend.

Oh, sorry babes.

words and language evolve.

Can anyone give me a recent example?

Yeah, Keller?

Okay, thank you. Anyone else?

Yes, Keely.

Frenemy.

When you're, like, friends with someone,

but really, you hate them.

[teacher] Yeah, good.

So I want five different words from everyone.

And I don't want to see you with the same answers

as the person next to you, okay?

Go.

Sent them where?
