Bennett Madison, the early years.

From The Bennett Madison Experience:

The three of us got a minimal amount of psychic training. First of all, they gave us a script to read. That was not much help because it was only a paragraph long. Second, they gave us a computer program that simulated tarot card readings. Back to hanging out under the bedsheet. Finally, they told us what to do when people called asking for Miss Cleo. What you were supposed to do was say that she was really busy but that you'd go see if she was available. Then you were supposed to put the phone down and wander around the room going "Miss Cleo? Miss Cleo, are you there? Miss Cleo, are you available?" The idea was to keep it up for as long as possible, with the person hanging on the line and the meter running. Then you'd come back and say she was busy. I felt shady about doing all of this so I would just skip the tomfoolery annd tell people that Miss Cleo was in the bathroom. Speaking of shady, that reminds me-- the other thing we were supposed to do was get people's home addresses so that The Network could send them scary tarot cards in the mail with foreboding, handwritten messages urging them to call to get important guidance regarding an impending personal tragedy. Evil.

He says Evil, I say Awesome.  I wish I received threatening tarot cards in the mail.
