Psychic Chris Medina Predicts CJ’s Future! Mar 21, 2025

Show notes

Psychic Chris Medina gives Chris Jericho a very interesting reading about his immediate future, and what may be coming in the next year! Chris also shares how he discovered, embraced, and developed his abilities, why he refuses to disclose or predict death events or get involved in criminal cases including murder, and how his own near-death experience as a child impacted his psychic path. He talks about the difference between a psychic and a medium, his abilities relative to world events like COVID and the recent LA firestorm, whether he can read himself and his own future, and how his psychic ability led to a chance alien encounter! And then there’s that story about the Freddie Kruger fan club!
