1
00:00:19.460 --> 00:00:22.100
Hi everyone, I am Jeff and welcome to History and

2
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:26.379
Factoids About Today. Today is October the 13th. Now, I

3
00:00:26.420 --> 00:00:29.219
have a really cool guy out here today as my co-host.

4
00:00:29.460 --> 00:00:31.640
I know he's cool because he goes by the Trance Master.

5
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:35.570
That's right, he's a hypnotist, he's a comedian, an entertainer.

6
00:00:36.130 --> 00:00:37.990
I'll let him explain himself to you. John, why don't

7
00:00:38.009 --> 00:00:39.770
you say hi and tell everybody who you are.

8
00:00:41.630 --> 00:00:46.390
My name is John Serbon. I am a professional hypnotist, entertainer, author,

9
00:00:46.509 --> 00:00:51.600
educator in the field. I have done thousands and thousands

10
00:00:51.649 --> 00:00:56.450
of private sessions in clinical hypnosis. I have trained thousands

11
00:00:56.490 --> 00:01:00.429
and thousands of people in various workshops and programs I offered.

12
00:01:01.250 --> 00:01:04.829
And I've done thousands and thousands of shows. So far,

13
00:01:04.829 --> 00:01:09.109
34 states in America, Canada, Europe. If you speak English

14
00:01:09.170 --> 00:01:11.510
in your country and want me to come, let's make

15
00:01:11.569 --> 00:01:15.069
it happen. I invented technique when I was three years old.

16
00:01:15.109 --> 00:01:17.810
My dad was a New York City policeman. He used

17
00:01:17.829 --> 00:01:19.439
to come home yelling about the things that he saw.

18
00:01:19.459 --> 00:01:22.319
You know, police see terrible things during the day or

19
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:25.500
night whenever they're working. And after hearing a lot of

20
00:01:25.540 --> 00:01:28.319
loud noises in the house at three years old, I

21
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:30.590
went upstairs and invented what turned out to be my

22
00:01:30.650 --> 00:01:37.430
first self-hypnosis technique. Just zoning out, putting myself intentionally someplace

23
00:01:37.469 --> 00:01:40.689
happier and less noisy. And by five, my parents said,

24
00:01:40.780 --> 00:01:42.319
teach us how to do that. It seems to work

25
00:01:42.379 --> 00:01:44.840
for you. So by five years old, I was teaching

26
00:01:44.859 --> 00:01:47.000
my parents self-hypnosis. I didn't even know it was called

27
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:50.879
hypnosis then. It was just something I did. So throughout

28
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:54.939
grammar school, high school, and college, there were kids that

29
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:57.159
were coming up to me, not right next to me,

30
00:01:57.180 --> 00:02:00.269
but kids off to the sides in the class someplace,

31
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:02.549
that said to me, I feel like you can help me.

32
00:02:02.569 --> 00:02:05.150
I'm going to run away from home. In the later schools,

33
00:02:05.170 --> 00:02:08.389
high school and college, sometimes it was thinking about suicide

34
00:02:08.409 --> 00:02:11.189
and different things. And I'd ask them to close their eyes,

35
00:02:11.229 --> 00:02:13.569
and I would talk to them. And when they opened

36
00:02:13.590 --> 00:02:15.689
their eyes, they didn't want to run away from home

37
00:02:15.750 --> 00:02:18.310
or commit suicide anymore. Had I known, I could have

38
00:02:18.330 --> 00:02:21.189
gotten paid for some of that stuff. Back then, it

39
00:02:21.229 --> 00:02:23.280
would have saved me from working a few dozen dirty

40
00:02:23.310 --> 00:02:25.199
jobs that I had to pay for college and high

41
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:27.340
school out of my own pocket. I went to a

42
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:31.159
private high school, which is out of business now. And

43
00:02:31.180 --> 00:02:32.680
people say to me all the time, how does a

44
00:02:32.699 --> 00:02:36.060
high school go out of business? Well, mine did. Demographic

45
00:02:36.099 --> 00:02:39.580
change and that kind of thing. And life went on.

46
00:02:40.219 --> 00:02:44.849
But I love absolutely hypnotizing people. I'm the inventor, creator

47
00:02:44.889 --> 00:02:49.509
and developer of the SpeedTrans system. To date, I've developed

48
00:02:49.569 --> 00:02:55.060
over 150 speed inductions, literally that fast. I've been clocked

49
00:02:55.139 --> 00:02:57.500
as fast as two tenths of a second, dropping somebody

50
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:01.400
in a chair from a sitting straight up position, shoulders

51
00:03:01.419 --> 00:03:07.069
to knees, ice cold. And I love inventing and being

52
00:03:07.129 --> 00:03:10.580
creative in this field. I'm currently writing new books. I

53
00:03:10.580 --> 00:03:13.780
have four books that are currently on the market. And

54
00:03:13.810 --> 00:03:16.509
I have a bunch of other books I'm working on simultaneously.

55
00:03:16.530 --> 00:03:19.069
With a mind like mine, I always do many things

56
00:03:19.090 --> 00:03:22.490
at once because this creative idea comes in, that creative

57
00:03:22.550 --> 00:03:25.689
idea comes in. And with the advent of AI, you

58
00:03:25.710 --> 00:03:28.860
can use the AI like a copy editor. So I'm

59
00:03:28.900 --> 00:03:31.060
producing a bunch of books that should be out hopefully

60
00:03:31.819 --> 00:03:35.199
by the end of next year and more to follow

61
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:39.669
after that. And I love performing. I love doing demonstrations.

62
00:03:39.789 --> 00:03:42.629
I love doing what I do. My favorite, though, is

63
00:03:42.650 --> 00:03:45.370
doing the entertainment shows. I love walking out on the

64
00:03:45.409 --> 00:03:50.180
stage and ripping it up. There's a whole technique of

65
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:53.419
how I've created that within me to make that work better.

66
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.960
The shows now are over 35 years of entertainment. I've

67
00:03:57.979 --> 00:04:01.810
headlined the casino hotels in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Times Square,

68
00:04:01.849 --> 00:04:03.449
Broadway area as well.

69
00:04:04.460 --> 00:04:06.439
So once you got into it, did you end up

70
00:04:06.460 --> 00:04:08.419
taking classes or you totally all self-taught?

71
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:13.659
Somewhere along the line in the late eighties, I was

72
00:04:13.699 --> 00:04:18.100
hosting workshops back in the new agey era era, you know,

73
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:19.560
when it was places you could go in and do

74
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:23.699
that stuff. And I was getting anything from a handful

75
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:27.379
of people, five, seven, 10, 12 in a room and

76
00:04:27.459 --> 00:04:32.060
other places getting hundreds of people showing up for meditation classes.

77
00:04:33.180 --> 00:04:36.800
The technique basically I started off with was calling it

78
00:04:36.860 --> 00:04:41.860
meditation or empowerment meditation. And then healing circles and other

79
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:46.370
things I was doing. And after a workshop, this fellow

80
00:04:46.410 --> 00:04:48.550
walked up to me and said, you're one heck of

81
00:04:48.589 --> 00:04:51.610
a hypnotist. And I went, really? And a hypno what?

82
00:04:51.689 --> 00:04:54.129
Making a joke. And he said, no, no, no. I'm

83
00:04:54.149 --> 00:04:56.750
teaching a class and I want to comp you in

84
00:04:57.209 --> 00:05:00.860
because you have a big following and come get certified.

85
00:05:01.379 --> 00:05:05.240
And that was the first of literally dozens and dozens

86
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:08.259
of certifications that I've taken over the years. And at

87
00:05:08.300 --> 00:05:12.430
this point, I either create it myself or I upgrade it.

88
00:05:12.740 --> 00:05:16.230
It's another technique that's old, for example. So it's like

89
00:05:16.250 --> 00:05:19.529
the old BASF commercials. We don't make the surfboard. We

90
00:05:19.550 --> 00:05:21.629
make it go fast. But my question always was, what

91
00:05:21.649 --> 00:05:25.310
are you selling on this commercial? But the bottom line

92
00:05:25.449 --> 00:05:28.529
is that most of the stuff I do is stuff

93
00:05:28.569 --> 00:05:33.269
I create on my own. And now with the advent

94
00:05:33.370 --> 00:05:35.629
of the cell phones and the rest of it, any

95
00:05:35.670 --> 00:05:38.750
idea that pops into my head that's fresh and intuitive

96
00:05:39.029 --> 00:05:42.300
and groundbreaking is something I can dictate into the phone

97
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:46.339
and peruse later on when I can get to it

98
00:05:46.420 --> 00:05:50.139
and develop it and fine tune it more. But in

99
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.699
the world of the shows that I do, I would

100
00:05:53.740 --> 00:05:55.560
say at least 80% of the show I do is

101
00:05:55.579 --> 00:05:58.740
stuff that I've written myself. Certainly, I didn't invent hot

102
00:05:58.779 --> 00:06:01.370
and cold or laughing at something funny. But a lot

103
00:06:01.379 --> 00:06:03.810
of the stuff that I do is stuff that I wrote.

104
00:06:04.410 --> 00:06:06.709
And if something really touches my heart from, say, somebody

105
00:06:06.750 --> 00:06:09.730
that's deceased, that was a friend of mine who I've

106
00:06:09.769 --> 00:06:11.970
done shows, I'll take what they've done and I'll make

107
00:06:12.009 --> 00:06:16.589
it my own. So I'm out there working this stuff morning, noon,

108
00:06:16.649 --> 00:06:18.810
and night. I kind of feel like anybody in any

109
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:22.180
profession you're in, whether you're a hypnotist or you're a

110
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:26.029
magician or any other kind of entertainer, You need to

111
00:06:26.069 --> 00:06:29.209
be a goodwill ambassador for your work and your profession.

112
00:06:30.110 --> 00:06:32.189
So a lot of times I'm out there talking hypnosis

113
00:06:32.230 --> 00:06:35.550
in restaurants and in public places when people strike up

114
00:06:35.589 --> 00:06:38.550
conversations with me. One of the first questions you normally

115
00:06:38.589 --> 00:06:40.610
get beside your name is what do you do for

116
00:06:40.629 --> 00:06:43.589
a living? And I tell people I'm a professional hypnotist

117
00:06:43.629 --> 00:06:45.389
and they laugh and they say, no, no, no. What

118
00:06:45.410 --> 00:06:46.829
do you really do for a living? You know?

119
00:06:47.050 --> 00:06:47.389
Right.

120
00:06:47.470 --> 00:06:49.509
And I'm like, what do I do for a living? No, no,

121
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:51.120
tell me the truth. I'm like, I am telling you

122
00:06:51.139 --> 00:06:53.199
the truth. And that goes back and forth quite a

123
00:06:53.220 --> 00:06:54.199
bit as well, you know?

124
00:06:54.620 --> 00:06:58.300
Right. That's amazing how you were able to dial in

125
00:06:58.339 --> 00:06:59.800
so early just because you had a mean dad.

126
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:03.339
Yeah, well, he would come home yelling about his day.

127
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.689
You know, police see dead kids, dead adults, you know.

128
00:07:06.529 --> 00:07:08.389
And I guess the stress levels for him on certain

129
00:07:08.410 --> 00:07:10.949
days were a bit much. He wasn't screaming every single

130
00:07:10.990 --> 00:07:12.269
day of the week, but there were some days he

131
00:07:12.310 --> 00:07:16.689
came home, you know, very upset. So I just kind

132
00:07:16.740 --> 00:07:19.000
of zoned out. I taught himself hypnosis and my mother

133
00:07:19.060 --> 00:07:23.610
as well. So the entire temperature range, Let's say temperature

134
00:07:23.670 --> 00:07:25.529
of the room, but temperature of the household kind of

135
00:07:25.550 --> 00:07:28.879
lowered from me teaching them hypnosis at five years old.

136
00:07:29.579 --> 00:07:31.779
You know, that was a blessing, too, that your parents,

137
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:34.259
I mean, they didn't think our kids weird. They thought, hey,

138
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:37.240
our kid's special. He's got a gift. Let's follow it.

139
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:40.990
You know, my mother said to me when she recanted

140
00:07:41.029 --> 00:07:42.670
this story, you know, a couple of years before she

141
00:07:42.709 --> 00:07:45.029
passed away, she said to me, we thought it was

142
00:07:45.050 --> 00:07:46.569
a little strange when you were doing it. So we

143
00:07:46.589 --> 00:07:48.949
saw how well it worked. And then we thought to ourselves,

144
00:07:48.970 --> 00:07:50.350
how do we get in on this? How do we

145
00:07:50.370 --> 00:07:52.980
get in on what he's doing? So show us some

146
00:07:53.019 --> 00:07:54.949
of that stuff. And I'm like, great, let's do it.

147
00:07:55.579 --> 00:07:57.740
And I guess it's where the teacher in me developed

148
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:02.649
because it's always been about me demonstrating something and then

149
00:08:02.709 --> 00:08:06.110
somebody saying, show us how to do that. And generally

150
00:08:06.170 --> 00:08:08.910
I have. If it's something I can figure that's teachable,

151
00:08:09.889 --> 00:08:10.800
I'm willing to teach it.

152
00:08:12.149 --> 00:08:16.040
Cool deal. Well, before we get too silly or anything today,

153
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:19.819
today is October the 13th. So the national day is?

154
00:08:21.129 --> 00:08:25.389
Breaking up with you is like taking my bra off.

155
00:08:25.670 --> 00:08:26.589
Feeling free and.

156
00:08:26.569 --> 00:08:29.839
Loose like this t-shirt I got on.

157
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:34.399
Yeah, I should be crying, dreaming some kind of loss.

158
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:42.769
But it's like taking this pink and lacy, suffocating bra off.

159
00:08:43.870 --> 00:08:46.850
Sure, two guys sitting around talking about National No Bra Day.

160
00:08:46.870 --> 00:08:47.570
Nope.

161
00:08:47.980 --> 00:08:50.899
It's actually a serious day. Today is to promote breast

162
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:54.500
cancer awareness. The no bra aspect, yeah, that comes in

163
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:59.419
from breast reinjection surgery. So they want to basically support

164
00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:02.799
women who are currently or have fought breast cancer. So yeah,

165
00:09:02.980 --> 00:09:06.059
and especially the ones who have gone through mastectomies. So yeah,

166
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:09.470
going braless is to support their fellow women. I probably

167
00:09:09.490 --> 00:09:12.190
should have worded that different. Sorry about that. That's kind

168
00:09:12.210 --> 00:09:13.860
of common. That's actually kind of funny.

169
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.740
Most days I go brawless too, but that's just a joke.

170
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:19.679
But very seriously, I've done a lot of work in

171
00:09:20.379 --> 00:09:24.750
fundraiser events for helping raise money for people with cancer

172
00:09:25.250 --> 00:09:28.730
from the Cancer Society to helping children and their families

173
00:09:28.769 --> 00:09:33.830
survive what they're going through, you know, and battling that

174
00:09:33.950 --> 00:09:36.240
horrible disease. My father died of it. My mother died

175
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:41.000
of it. Other members of the family have had it. And,

176
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.610
you know, it's a matter of pushing past what's going on.

177
00:09:45.620 --> 00:09:49.259
I've helped people also in private sessions with that last

178
00:09:49.299 --> 00:09:55.389
remark I just made, push past the chemotherapy, push past

179
00:09:56.110 --> 00:10:01.509
the diagnosis, push past the you know, my world is

180
00:10:01.549 --> 00:10:03.269
coming to an end so you can live another day.

181
00:10:03.289 --> 00:10:08.169
And I've seen amazing things happen with these people, you know,

182
00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:13.220
complete 180 degree turns from severe upsetment about it and

183
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:16.539
sadness and despair to like, I'm going to get mighty

184
00:10:16.580 --> 00:10:17.909
and beat this. And a lot of them do.

185
00:10:19.509 --> 00:10:21.480
That's what we're hoping for today. We hope they get

186
00:10:21.509 --> 00:10:24.259
that inside them. And now it's not only just to,

187
00:10:25.779 --> 00:10:28.600
it's basically to support the women, but it's also to

188
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:31.500
actually remind the women to do the self-exams every month too.

189
00:10:31.580 --> 00:10:34.899
That's kind of important. Now this is an interesting bra note.

190
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:40.309
According to experts, worldwide, 80% of all women, they wear

191
00:10:40.330 --> 00:10:44.250
the wrong size bra. It's usually too small. So do

192
00:10:44.269 --> 00:10:46.429
you have a bunch of jockstrap jokes now, like spinning

193
00:10:46.450 --> 00:10:46.809
through your head?

194
00:10:46.830 --> 00:10:47.149
Yeah.

195
00:10:47.909 --> 00:10:51.710
Yeah, well, this is a family-friendly podcast. I'd rather not

196
00:10:51.730 --> 00:10:54.509
go down that road. But, you know, there are certainly

197
00:10:54.529 --> 00:10:56.830
some jokes in my mind as well. You know, yes,

198
00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:59.940
the jockstrap apparently is the male equivalent. It's funny how

199
00:10:59.980 --> 00:11:01.440
you brought that up. I never really quite put it

200
00:11:01.740 --> 00:11:04.399
two and two together like that. But thanks for the enlightenment.

201
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:05.759
I appreciate that very much.

202
00:11:06.700 --> 00:11:08.840
All right, ladies out there. So make sure you do

203
00:11:08.860 --> 00:11:11.250
your checks every month. And for all you who have

204
00:11:11.299 --> 00:11:13.590
or haven't or love somebody who's going through it, yeah,

205
00:11:13.769 --> 00:11:17.019
today's For all you women going through cancer, definitely our

206
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:20.179
hearts go out for you today. So does your comedy

207
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:23.700
act have actually some, a lot of innuendo and kind

208
00:11:23.740 --> 00:11:24.519
of double entendre?

209
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:29.090
Yeah, like sometimes I've been pushed into places in Vegas

210
00:11:29.620 --> 00:11:31.519
where they want me to do a naughtier show. And

211
00:11:31.590 --> 00:11:38.370
in that case, it's innuendo, it's suggestible, but I don't

212
00:11:38.409 --> 00:11:41.629
go down the dirty road. There's no point in me

213
00:11:41.649 --> 00:11:45.399
doing something Dirty for the Sake of Dirty. Jerry Seinfeld

214
00:11:45.419 --> 00:11:48.070
said years ago that, you know, Dirty for the Sake

215
00:11:48.090 --> 00:11:50.879
of Dirty is not necessarily funny to paraphrase exactly what

216
00:11:50.929 --> 00:11:53.490
he said. I don't recall exactly word for word what

217
00:11:53.529 --> 00:11:58.070
he said, but it's along that line. And the idea

218
00:11:58.090 --> 00:12:02.649
with the way I perform comes from living in New

219
00:12:02.690 --> 00:12:06.990
York City all these years and having been to rock

220
00:12:07.029 --> 00:12:11.700
concerts at Madison Square Garden and the Meadowlands. and watching

221
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:16.759
how rock performers perform their show. I've seen other entertainers

222
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:19.649
that do an adequate show, but they're just going step

223
00:12:19.690 --> 00:12:22.809
by step. If your audience, in my view, is not

224
00:12:22.889 --> 00:12:26.149
exhausted at the end of your show, if the volunteers

225
00:12:26.190 --> 00:12:28.690
for my hypnosis show are not exhausted from jumping around,

226
00:12:29.450 --> 00:12:32.590
I'm not exhausted from working, doing that show, then I

227
00:12:32.629 --> 00:12:36.309
think I'm missing something. So I'm not in competition with

228
00:12:36.330 --> 00:12:39.720
other hypnotists. I'm only in competition with me. And I

229
00:12:39.779 --> 00:12:41.779
work as hard as I can to do every show,

230
00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:44.080
every next show I do better than the previous shows

231
00:12:44.139 --> 00:12:46.620
I've ever done. Do I always accomplish that?

232
00:12:46.710 --> 00:12:46.879
No.

233
00:12:46.990 --> 00:12:51.309
Sometimes it's crazy situations. People who don't speak English, for example,

234
00:12:51.549 --> 00:12:54.769
and I'm working to a translator and still pulling off

235
00:12:54.830 --> 00:12:59.549
a hit. Or outdoors in a rainstorm or it starts

236
00:12:59.610 --> 00:13:02.389
snowing or something outdoors. I did a show years ago

237
00:13:02.429 --> 00:13:05.250
in New England in a football field and the temperature

238
00:13:05.269 --> 00:13:07.889
was in the high 50s when I got started. in

239
00:13:07.909 --> 00:13:09.730
the late afternoon. And then the sun went down and

240
00:13:09.750 --> 00:13:13.250
it started to snow. And these kids in the high school,

241
00:13:13.429 --> 00:13:17.220
boys and girls, were wearing long-sleeved T-shirts, cotton, you know?

242
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:20.519
And I kept telling them, it's really warm. It's like

243
00:13:20.580 --> 00:13:22.940
equator hot here. It's so hot. You know, it's like

244
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.039
you're in the Mojave Desert or something. Until at the end,

245
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:28.100
I said, 10, right away, go open your eyes. And

246
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:30.720
they were like, ah! Went running for hot chocolate and coats,

247
00:13:31.179 --> 00:13:33.070
you know? But I had to get the show finished.

248
00:13:33.110 --> 00:13:35.590
What was I going to do? I've done shows outdoors

249
00:13:35.629 --> 00:13:38.700
a couple of times where, It was so cold that

250
00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:41.700
I had to go back to my pockets and my

251
00:13:41.740 --> 00:13:44.120
coat and look for my gloves. My hand was half

252
00:13:44.259 --> 00:13:46.919
frozen open and half frozen closed. It was hard to

253
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:49.919
hold the microphone because it was so cold. And other

254
00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:51.620
times when I'm done a show outdoors in that kind

255
00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:54.159
of cold where I'm starting to burn a lot of

256
00:13:54.259 --> 00:13:57.250
energy and I can't wear my coat anymore. So I'm

257
00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:00.649
working the show and talking up the next bit, whatever

258
00:14:00.669 --> 00:14:02.649
I'm doing. I'm setting up the next sketch in the show.

259
00:14:02.669 --> 00:14:07.649
I just take off my winter jacket and just fling it. somewhere,

260
00:14:08.570 --> 00:14:10.690
you know, to get it off me because at that

261
00:14:10.750 --> 00:14:14.200
point I'm moving around so much. It's like doing construction

262
00:14:14.220 --> 00:14:16.379
work or something outdoors in the winter or shoveling snow,

263
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:18.799
for example, is a good example. You know, if you're

264
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:21.120
shoveling snow in the northern part of the country or

265
00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:24.000
any place where it does snow globally, you know, you

266
00:14:24.019 --> 00:14:25.600
get dressed up for the cold and you're out there

267
00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:27.860
for five or ten minutes and it's way too warm

268
00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:30.950
wearing that coat. So you take it off and you're perspiring.

269
00:14:30.990 --> 00:14:32.250
As soon as it's over, you've got to run to

270
00:14:32.269 --> 00:14:34.929
the house because otherwise you're soaking wet from the work

271
00:14:34.970 --> 00:14:37.190
you did out in the cold. So I've been through

272
00:14:37.210 --> 00:14:40.389
a lot of crazy stuff, you know, and I did

273
00:14:40.429 --> 00:14:42.500
a show for a media mogul one time who recently

274
00:14:42.549 --> 00:14:45.539
passed away. He had hired me for a series of

275
00:14:45.580 --> 00:14:49.120
private parties over the course of maybe 12 years. I

276
00:14:49.139 --> 00:14:52.740
did three shows for him. And I had in one

277
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:55.850
show a small amount of volunteers. I had one man

278
00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:58.090
on one side, one man on the other side, and

279
00:14:58.169 --> 00:15:01.769
a supermodel in the middle. And I said, on the

280
00:15:01.789 --> 00:15:03.649
count of three, you start flirting heavily with the most

281
00:15:03.690 --> 00:15:06.899
attractive person in the room. Stay seated. Well, she decided

282
00:15:06.970 --> 00:15:09.690
not to stay seated. She jumped up and she wrapped

283
00:15:09.730 --> 00:15:12.450
her legs around my calves, wrapped her arms around me

284
00:15:12.470 --> 00:15:14.090
in a bear hug and started sticking her tongue in

285
00:15:14.110 --> 00:15:16.610
and out of my right ear. And I was laughing

286
00:15:16.669 --> 00:15:19.289
so hard there was tears running down my face. And

287
00:15:19.309 --> 00:15:22.389
the audience was screaming, laughing too. And it took about

288
00:15:22.389 --> 00:15:24.450
40 seconds, which in front of an audience is a

289
00:15:24.490 --> 00:15:27.269
long time. 40 seconds doesn't seem like a long time

290
00:15:27.309 --> 00:15:30.149
if you're sitting here listening to us, obviously, or doing

291
00:15:30.210 --> 00:15:32.750
something else. But in front of an audience, 40 seconds

292
00:15:32.809 --> 00:15:35.070
is quite a while. But the audience was laughing so hard,

293
00:15:35.110 --> 00:15:37.389
I couldn't get any words out of my mouth. And

294
00:15:37.429 --> 00:15:39.230
for a moment, honestly, I just thought to myself, this

295
00:15:39.289 --> 00:15:42.649
is not so terrible. So, you know, like this doesn't

296
00:15:42.669 --> 00:15:44.889
happen exactly every day of my life. Maybe every other

297
00:15:44.909 --> 00:15:47.370
day I get attacked by a supermodel or something. I'm

298
00:15:47.389 --> 00:15:51.049
just joking. But, you know, there are certain memories like

299
00:15:51.110 --> 00:15:53.860
that that just stay with you. And they're memories that

300
00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:55.919
you treasure and you hold near and dear to your heart,

301
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:59.159
you know. To me, it's about loving the audience, loving

302
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:01.820
what you do, loving the people up on the stage.

303
00:16:02.580 --> 00:16:04.059
And at the end of my shows, I do a

304
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:07.860
lot of personal empowerment suggestion stuff as a gift to

305
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:10.620
the volunteers and to the people in the audience that

306
00:16:10.820 --> 00:16:17.230
can absorb it as a subconscious suggestion. So it's about

307
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:18.679
loving what you do. If you love what you do,

308
00:16:19.629 --> 00:16:20.870
people will be safe. If you love what you do,

309
00:16:20.889 --> 00:16:23.710
you never work a day in your life. That's not

310
00:16:23.970 --> 00:16:29.529
counting emails, phone calls, people who host you, AI these days.

311
00:16:30.629 --> 00:16:33.129
you know, writing books, all the other stuff. I love

312
00:16:33.149 --> 00:16:34.809
what I do, but there's a lot of work involved

313
00:16:34.850 --> 00:16:37.519
in it, you know? So when I'm on stage though,

314
00:16:37.539 --> 00:16:40.039
it's one of the only professions I know where you

315
00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:42.779
can walk out on stage, magicians too, for example, you

316
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:46.059
can walk out on stage as a hero, do what

317
00:16:46.100 --> 00:16:48.679
you do, get a lot of applause, walk off a

318
00:16:48.710 --> 00:16:52.009
bigger hero and get paid for it. You know, and

319
00:16:52.029 --> 00:16:54.629
in the course of my shows, there's always something that

320
00:16:54.649 --> 00:16:56.779
somebody kind of goes off and left field and does it.

321
00:16:56.809 --> 00:16:59.639
I've never seen before, at least once a show. And

322
00:16:59.659 --> 00:17:01.379
it cracks me up. So I get to laugh while

323
00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:04.039
I'm working. And I just love that part of it.

324
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:07.069
Well, let's just stay in entertainment. Let's see what's going

325
00:17:07.130 --> 00:17:09.309
on on October 13th. We're going to go back to 1982.

326
00:17:09.309 --> 00:17:13.089
You remember that? That's when Reagan was president. Gas was $ 1.

327
00:17:12.990 --> 00:17:13.309
28 a gallon.

328
00:17:13.349 --> 00:17:17.809
That would be the equivalent of $ 4. 44 today. The number

329
00:17:17.910 --> 00:17:20.450
one album was American Fool by John Cougar. He had

330
00:17:20.470 --> 00:17:23.730
the number one song with Jack and Diane. Long after

331
00:17:23.769 --> 00:17:26.049
the thrill of living.

332
00:17:29.069 --> 00:17:34.470
They say life goes on Long after the thread of

333
00:17:34.549 --> 00:17:37.369
living is gone A.

334
00:17:37.329 --> 00:17:43.410
Little ditty about Jack and Diane Two American kids doing

335
00:17:43.470 --> 00:17:44.789
the best they.

336
00:17:44.569 --> 00:17:48.559
Can Dolly Parton. She had the number one country song

337
00:17:48.579 --> 00:17:49.700
with I Will Always Love You.

338
00:17:51.019 --> 00:17:57.839
But I know I'll think of you each step.

339
00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:14.990
For those of you who are too young, yes, Dolly

340
00:18:15.029 --> 00:18:17.109
did write that, not Whitney. Whitney just made it a

341
00:18:17.109 --> 00:18:19.809
lot bigger. You like Dolly?

342
00:18:21.829 --> 00:18:23.509
Yeah, and it's a shame that we lost her. She

343
00:18:23.549 --> 00:18:26.759
was such a wonderful spirit of a person. You know,

344
00:18:26.779 --> 00:18:29.839
such joy every time you saw her on television, whether

345
00:18:29.900 --> 00:18:32.400
it was an interview or anything like that on audio.

346
00:18:32.420 --> 00:18:34.900
You know, just such joy she came from in the

347
00:18:34.940 --> 00:18:38.380
work that she did. I'm so glad she was this

348
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:39.660
whole success that she was.

349
00:18:41.069 --> 00:18:44.640
Yeah, some people you just... They're just good. You know,

350
00:18:44.660 --> 00:18:48.160
just to their core, they're just good. And they exude it.

351
00:18:50.539 --> 00:18:53.940
All right. It's loving the audience. It's loving your audience.

352
00:18:54.019 --> 00:18:56.619
It's putting that love out there. Like, it's kind of weird.

353
00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:58.690
It's like the love comes in, you channel it through yourself,

354
00:18:58.710 --> 00:18:59.809
you put it back out there again.

355
00:19:00.250 --> 00:19:04.289
Yeah, exactly. The number one book was Space by James Michener.

356
00:19:04.609 --> 00:19:07.670
The top movie was E.T. You're an alien, you get

357
00:19:07.730 --> 00:19:09.950
stuck on Earth, and a group of nerdy kids have

358
00:19:09.970 --> 00:19:12.960
to try and help him get back home. stars Henry Thomas,

359
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:15.380
Drew Barrymore, and Peter Coyote. I think I was the

360
00:19:15.460 --> 00:19:17.099
only person or still am the only person who did

361
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:19.650
not like that movie. I didn't get into it.

362
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:25.220
Well, all I remember is, you know, besides seeing the

363
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:29.569
movie when it came out, I remember Universal in Florida

364
00:19:29.609 --> 00:19:33.230
had an E.T. extravaganza or something where you sit in

365
00:19:33.269 --> 00:19:35.890
this car thing and you're flying through the air on

366
00:19:35.910 --> 00:19:39.529
the bicycle with the kid. You know, so that always

367
00:19:39.549 --> 00:19:40.529
puts a smile on my face.

368
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:44.640
Yeah, I guess so. And we got Reese's Pieces. That's

369
00:19:44.700 --> 00:19:45.730
probably the best part of it.

370
00:19:47.130 --> 00:19:50.299
Yeah, well, I'm more of a chocolate purist, but that's... okay.

371
00:19:51.859 --> 00:19:56.319
That's true. So, your audience, there's got to be nights,

372
00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:58.420
as much as you love it, that the audience kind

373
00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:01.000
of hurts you. They don't want to really play. Do

374
00:20:01.019 --> 00:20:01.619
you run into that?

375
00:20:02.700 --> 00:20:05.180
Yeah, but you have to overwhelm that. You can't sit

376
00:20:05.220 --> 00:20:08.509
by and let that happen. You've got to decide One

377
00:20:08.549 --> 00:20:10.910
of my core philosophies, which is something I'm writing into

378
00:20:10.970 --> 00:20:14.990
books that I'm putting together now, one book's about 70% complete,

379
00:20:17.730 --> 00:20:21.200
is about being mightier than the situation in front of you.

380
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:24.440
And most audiences, if I come out the way I've

381
00:20:24.980 --> 00:20:28.799
been doing for the last 35 plus years, that I'm

382
00:20:28.819 --> 00:20:30.759
bigger than the audience and I'm just sharing a lot

383
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:32.279
of love and a lot of humor and let's have

384
00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:35.119
some fun. Who are the fun people in the room

385
00:20:35.140 --> 00:20:36.380
who wants to come up here and have the best

386
00:20:36.420 --> 00:20:38.829
time ever? in the best seats in the house or

387
00:20:38.869 --> 00:20:41.619
up on the stage or about half the shows I'm

388
00:20:41.630 --> 00:20:43.880
doing lately are floor shows, you know, in these chairs.

389
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:48.180
Not on any stage. I prefer the stage, frankly, but

390
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:49.700
if it's a floor show, whatever you got to do

391
00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:54.200
is what you got to do. You know, all of

392
00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:56.680
a sudden, when the laughter starts, the whole thing turns around.

393
00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:00.400
You know, and I've done some amazingly bizarre places to

394
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:06.579
do shows. I've done shows in manufacturing places, factories, for example.

395
00:21:07.250 --> 00:21:13.109
I've done shows in warehouses, you know, strange places where,

396
00:21:13.130 --> 00:21:15.869
you know, I did a show one time and by

397
00:21:15.910 --> 00:21:17.869
day it was a Sylvan Learning Center. By night it

398
00:21:17.910 --> 00:21:20.789
was a Veterans Hall. There was something kind of fluky

399
00:21:20.809 --> 00:21:22.730
about that place. Like it's this by day and that

400
00:21:22.789 --> 00:21:24.950
by night. It didn't kind of add up. I don't

401
00:21:24.970 --> 00:21:26.819
know who was running that place or what that was,

402
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:29.720
but I've been through some stuff with some of the audiences,

403
00:21:29.819 --> 00:21:32.500
some of the smaller groups that, you know, it's a

404
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:34.299
floor show. They think they can kind of walk into

405
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:37.720
the show and intervene and And I'm extremely protective of

406
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:40.920
the people who volunteer because they're in hypnosis. So a

407
00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:42.900
lot of times they'll start sneaking up, trying to deliver

408
00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:44.599
their own suggestions on a floor show.

409
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:45.440
Not a lot.

410
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:47.779
That's probably the wrong way to put it. I would

411
00:21:47.819 --> 00:21:51.009
say sometimes it's happened. And all of a sudden I

412
00:21:51.049 --> 00:21:55.029
put the back of my wrists on my hips, Superman pose,

413
00:21:55.150 --> 00:21:57.430
and they kind of bounce off my chest because they're

414
00:21:57.450 --> 00:21:59.329
looking at the person they're trying to approach, not me.

415
00:21:59.349 --> 00:22:03.089
And I'm like, sit down. The old David Lee wrote,

416
00:22:03.109 --> 00:22:06.339
sit down, Waldo, you know, that thing. from Hot Fatigia.

417
00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:08.839
So they sit down and we go on and a

418
00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:11.339
lot of laughs and then the only problem I have

419
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:13.420
is getting out of the room. I've actually had a

420
00:22:13.460 --> 00:22:15.539
few shows where people try to tear my clothing off.

421
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:18.579
If it's an old Beatles or Rolling Stones video or

422
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:21.359
something or a movie from years ago, that looks pretty

423
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:23.460
cool until you're in the middle of it. And then

424
00:22:23.509 --> 00:22:26.089
it's like 50 people in 100 hands trying to rip

425
00:22:26.109 --> 00:22:29.109
your clothes off like a zombie movie. There's a whole

426
00:22:29.150 --> 00:22:30.950
different vibe when you're on the receiving end of that.

427
00:22:31.809 --> 00:22:35.839
So one time I was in this group of young

428
00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:40.079
people i would say probably late teens early 20s and

429
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:43.400
um i didn't know what to do because i had

430
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:46.660
never really encountered it to that degree before and in

431
00:22:46.700 --> 00:22:48.880
front of me there was this like you know one

432
00:22:48.900 --> 00:22:50.799
of those bathrooms you kind of just walk into there's

433
00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:54.960
no door and um you know for the size room

434
00:22:55.019 --> 00:22:56.440
i was in had a ladies room in the men's

435
00:22:56.460 --> 00:22:58.220
room and i threw my hands over my head i

436
00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:00.779
said enough and a hole opened up and i shot

437
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:03.200
through like like that hole like a rabbit I ran

438
00:23:03.220 --> 00:23:05.299
it to the men's room. I figured that eliminates the females.

439
00:23:05.819 --> 00:23:08.700
At least I had 50% more fighting chance in the

440
00:23:08.740 --> 00:23:11.240
bathroom than I did in the other place. But I

441
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:14.460
have a lot of those particular stories with crazy moments.

442
00:23:16.420 --> 00:23:17.660
Can anybody be hypnotized?

443
00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:19.220
I'm sorry?

444
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:22.160
Can anybody be hypnotized?

445
00:23:23.220 --> 00:23:25.500
The average person is in and out of hypnosis naturally

446
00:23:25.539 --> 00:23:28.660
without my help a minimum of seven times a day.

447
00:23:29.220 --> 00:23:31.519
When you zone out driving the car, when you zoned

448
00:23:31.579 --> 00:23:35.509
out in class... When you zoned out in your parents'

449
00:23:35.930 --> 00:23:38.450
house and they were asking you questions, you weren't paying attention.

450
00:23:39.049 --> 00:23:42.650
When you zoned out in business or any other time

451
00:23:42.670 --> 00:23:46.660
when you zone out, watching television, watching the computer, YouTube,

452
00:23:46.700 --> 00:23:51.819
whatever you're doing, it's all hypnosis states. So because people already,

453
00:23:51.859 --> 00:23:55.539
to some greater or lesser extent, already hypnotized, and once

454
00:23:55.579 --> 00:23:58.589
a hypnotist realizes that, your job gets a little bit

455
00:23:58.690 --> 00:24:02.230
easier because you're just bringing them into sort of in

456
00:24:02.269 --> 00:24:05.549
a way of putting this your hypnosis or your hypnotic field,

457
00:24:05.589 --> 00:24:07.170
if you want to call it that it's not so

458
00:24:07.210 --> 00:24:09.099
much about energy fields, but you can kind of apply

459
00:24:09.130 --> 00:24:12.700
it that way from explaining it. And in that place,

460
00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:15.940
you know, it's kind of like there, you've got them

461
00:24:16.119 --> 00:24:19.819
into a place of hypnosis where the suggestions are working.

462
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:23.960
You know, there's a term people kick around hypnotherapy and

463
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:27.000
hypnotherapy is not the correct term for what we're doing. Technically,

464
00:24:27.019 --> 00:24:30.539
if you're doing a private session, for example, it's, um,

465
00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:33.980
If you had to equate hypnotherapy, the hypnosis would be

466
00:24:34.019 --> 00:24:38.019
like a hypodermic needle. And the therapeutic aspect of it

467
00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:41.599
would be the medicine is the suggestion. If you're doing,

468
00:24:42.420 --> 00:24:45.220
you know, clinical work with somebody. And if it's a show,

469
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:48.880
the suggestions are, you know, milk a cow, dance around,

470
00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:53.069
dance to this other song, whatever it might be. You know,

471
00:24:53.130 --> 00:24:55.009
swim in the ocean while you're seated in the chair.

472
00:24:55.369 --> 00:24:58.569
Whatever pops into my head. I was doing a series

473
00:24:58.609 --> 00:25:00.869
of shows out in the Midwest at a comedy club.

474
00:25:01.769 --> 00:25:03.349
And I was on the final appearance of the man

475
00:25:03.369 --> 00:25:09.460
who ran the comedy club's radio program. And he said

476
00:25:09.500 --> 00:25:11.500
to me, it was the fourth appearance I was making.

477
00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:14.099
And he said to me, what are you doing tonight?

478
00:25:14.140 --> 00:25:15.259
I said, I have no idea. What do you mean

479
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:17.700
you have no idea? I said, at this point, me

480
00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:20.670
doing a show is organic. It's part of who I am.

481
00:25:21.549 --> 00:25:23.190
So I just walk out there and I just go

482
00:25:23.230 --> 00:25:26.369
into my own hypnosis. And the show just flows through me.

483
00:25:26.369 --> 00:25:28.329
I'm in a flow state. Whatever comes out comes through.

484
00:25:29.329 --> 00:25:31.450
And it's based on where my vibe is, what the

485
00:25:31.470 --> 00:25:33.930
vibe of the audience is, and what I think they're

486
00:25:33.950 --> 00:25:36.750
going to like better than anything else. And as long

487
00:25:36.769 --> 00:25:39.349
as I'm working in that frame, it's smooth sailing.

488
00:25:40.109 --> 00:25:40.609
Cool deal.

489
00:25:41.450 --> 00:25:41.650
All right.

490
00:25:41.690 --> 00:25:43.750
Let's see some of the stuff that happened in history

491
00:25:43.809 --> 00:25:47.829
on October the 13th. 1307 over in France. Now, King

492
00:25:47.869 --> 00:25:50.480
Philip IV, he was in deep, deep debt, man. He

493
00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:52.180
had no way he was ever going to get out

494
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:54.079
of it. There was this group of Christians. They were

495
00:25:54.099 --> 00:25:56.680
called the Knights Templar. They had a lot, a lot

496
00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:58.519
of money. In fact, King Philip, yeah, he owed them

497
00:25:58.559 --> 00:26:00.769
a lot of money. So the king, he went and

498
00:26:00.789 --> 00:26:04.250
made up a whole bunch of outrageous allegations against the Templar.

499
00:26:04.670 --> 00:26:06.299
Then he went and got with Pope Clement V. Yeah,

500
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:08.740
that was all it took. Yep, they were able to

501
00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:12.440
get the Knights Templar. Basically, most of them got arrested

502
00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:14.200
and all that kind of stuff. And he was going

503
00:26:14.220 --> 00:26:17.140
to seize all their assets and take all their money. Yeah,

504
00:26:17.180 --> 00:26:20.609
even their grandmaster, Jacques de Monet and all those guys. Yeah,

505
00:26:20.619 --> 00:26:22.849
they were all thrown in prison. But there were a

506
00:26:22.869 --> 00:26:24.930
few knights that got away. And they were able to

507
00:26:24.990 --> 00:26:27.029
take all their wealth. No one ever knows what happened

508
00:26:27.069 --> 00:26:28.710
to it. You know, if they do, they're not talking

509
00:26:28.750 --> 00:26:30.549
about it. Now, King Philip, he got nothing.

510
00:26:30.630 --> 00:26:32.630
It was really terrible back in the day when they

511
00:26:32.650 --> 00:26:36.369
did that. It was awful. I remember the newspapers were outraged.

512
00:26:36.589 --> 00:26:37.230
Go ahead. I'm sorry.

513
00:26:37.589 --> 00:26:42.410
Oh, no, that's good. Now, King got nothing. So October

514
00:26:42.430 --> 00:26:45.880
13th in 1307, that was on a Friday. Yeah, that's

515
00:26:45.890 --> 00:26:49.700
why Friday the 13th began a bad day of bad luck.

516
00:26:49.859 --> 00:26:52.200
That's how it started from the Knights Templar and King Philip.

517
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:56.400
That's funny. I never put that together. That's great.

518
00:26:56.900 --> 00:26:57.880
See, you do cruise ships.

519
00:27:00.339 --> 00:27:04.369
Yeah, a little bit. It's tough because the agencies switch

520
00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:06.930
up a lot, you know, but yeah, I've worked, I've

521
00:27:06.950 --> 00:27:11.250
worked cruises, dinner cruises. I've done Vegas, Atlantic city, Broadway,

522
00:27:12.130 --> 00:27:14.269
and lots of other places around the country, you know,

523
00:27:14.849 --> 00:27:17.690
everything from junior high schools to high schools, to colleges,

524
00:27:18.329 --> 00:27:24.380
to corporate events, lots of corporate events. And, you know,

525
00:27:24.930 --> 00:27:27.430
Religious groups. In New York City, a lot of the

526
00:27:27.470 --> 00:27:30.559
Jewish groups hire me because they love live entertainment. So

527
00:27:30.579 --> 00:27:32.720
I've done a lot of shows. At each show, if

528
00:27:32.819 --> 00:27:36.519
it's something where it's a different cultural background or vibe,

529
00:27:36.579 --> 00:27:38.680
I have to tailor it to meet the needs of

530
00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:42.400
who I'm playing to. So sometimes it's different music. Sometimes

531
00:27:42.420 --> 00:27:44.940
there's no music allowed at all in the very strict

532
00:27:44.980 --> 00:27:48.259
religious groups that are Jewish. They don't want any secular

533
00:27:48.299 --> 00:27:50.849
music of any kind, nothing with words in it in English.

534
00:27:51.769 --> 00:27:54.269
So I have different shows I've developed over these years.

535
00:27:55.230 --> 00:27:58.440
Based on that. But yeah, I work. You know, a

536
00:27:58.700 --> 00:28:01.940
friend of mine who's retired from this says, with your

537
00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:04.559
money and my time, all things are possible. So I'll

538
00:28:04.599 --> 00:28:05.299
always make it work.

539
00:28:06.019 --> 00:28:07.809
I've never been on a cruise, but I think if

540
00:28:07.869 --> 00:28:09.329
I was on a cruise, this would be going through

541
00:28:09.349 --> 00:28:33.259
my head a lot. am i wrong did that go

542
00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:35.809
through your head when you're on a cruise not so.

543
00:28:35.710 --> 00:28:40.490
Much but i remember that have used that song you

544
00:28:40.509 --> 00:28:42.930
know on the kind of three of the village people

545
00:28:43.019 --> 00:28:47.279
you know An older hypnotist gave me that over the

546
00:28:47.339 --> 00:28:49.940
phone a couple of years ago. Here's something I used

547
00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:52.640
to do 30 years ago. Don't tell anybody. It's top secret.

548
00:28:52.700 --> 00:28:54.859
I'm like, the whole world has been doing this. I

549
00:28:54.880 --> 00:28:56.519
was like, that's very nice of you to share that.

550
00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:58.369
I'll keep that in mind next time I need to

551
00:28:58.440 --> 00:29:01.170
use it. Thank you. You know? Well, happy birthday, U.S.

552
00:29:01.250 --> 00:29:03.230
Navy. It was in 1775, the Continental Congress created the

553
00:29:03.250 --> 00:29:10.099
United States Navy. Now, of course, Congress, they were all

554
00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:12.960
proud of themselves. They were slapping each other on the back,

555
00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:15.140
and they were feeling really good. And then the reality

556
00:29:15.180 --> 00:29:16.680
set in. They were like, hey, we don't have any ships.

557
00:29:17.619 --> 00:29:20.450
So the first U.S. Navy ship was the Alfred. It

558
00:29:20.470 --> 00:29:22.750
was just a merchant ship. They put on 24 cannons

559
00:29:22.849 --> 00:29:24.670
on it. Then they sent the Alfred out to go

560
00:29:24.710 --> 00:29:27.109
after the British. They attacked the British off of Bermuda. Yeah,

561
00:29:27.150 --> 00:29:30.589
the British, they captured the Alfred. The first U.S. Navy

562
00:29:30.609 --> 00:29:34.420
ship that was actually built was called the USS United States,

563
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:34.890
not until 1797.

564
00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:34.950
So.

565
00:29:39.390 --> 00:29:41.420
All of you who have served or are serving in

566
00:29:41.460 --> 00:29:46.240
the U.S. Navy, we sure appreciate you. Okay, some presidents

567
00:29:46.700 --> 00:29:50.759
who were in the United States Navy were Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter,

568
00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:56.549
and H.W. Bush. Some entertainers, some pretty big ones. Humphrey Bogart,

569
00:29:56.670 --> 00:30:01.490
Henry Fonda, Paul Newman, Kirk Douglas, Johnny Carson, Bill Cosby,

570
00:30:01.630 --> 00:30:04.130
and MC Hammer. They'll surprise you.

571
00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:09.420
MC Hammer, yeah. The other ones I believe I heard about.

572
00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:10.900
I had two uncles that were in the Navy in

573
00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:14.160
World War II. One of them was stationed in the Atlantic,

574
00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:18.589
and he told me they were chasing submarines, and you

575
00:30:18.609 --> 00:30:21.089
were not allowed to go below deck unless you had permission.

576
00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:24.220
So they slept and ate on that deck for like

577
00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:27.059
a couple of years before he finally was moved off

578
00:30:27.099 --> 00:30:31.400
that ship. And the other uncle was in the Pacific

579
00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:38.589
and they were delivering tanks or something. And a Japanese

580
00:30:40.569 --> 00:30:43.390
submarine hit their ship. And the only two people who

581
00:30:43.450 --> 00:30:45.529
survived was my uncle and the guy he saved who

582
00:30:45.549 --> 00:30:48.230
lasted a couple of months and then he died. Everybody

583
00:30:48.269 --> 00:30:51.289
else in that ship Just passed away. There was sharks

584
00:30:51.329 --> 00:30:55.609
in the water and from exposure. So without my uncle surviving,

585
00:30:55.670 --> 00:30:59.259
I wouldn't have those cousins. So hats off to the

586
00:30:59.299 --> 00:31:00.920
Navy and all that they've done for America.

587
00:31:02.039 --> 00:31:03.240
You ever do any USO shows?

588
00:31:05.140 --> 00:31:07.420
I've reached out and so far I have not had

589
00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:10.259
any success reaching out. But if anybody is of the

590
00:31:10.339 --> 00:31:13.460
USO and they're listening to this, knock on my door.

591
00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:14.480
I'd be happy to.

592
00:31:14.299 --> 00:31:17.900
Talk to you. That's for sure. With 1792, the only

593
00:31:17.940 --> 00:31:20.630
president not to live on the White House. George Washington?

594
00:31:20.869 --> 00:31:22.890
He actually laid the cornerstone today. George should have known

595
00:31:22.910 --> 00:31:26.829
what he was doing. He was a Freemason. 1902, coal

596
00:31:26.849 --> 00:31:29.390
miners across the United States. They'd been on strike since

597
00:31:29.430 --> 00:31:33.089
May the 12th. Well, with winter coming, President Teddy Roosevelt,

598
00:31:33.369 --> 00:31:35.390
he'd had enough. So he said he was sending in U.S.

599
00:31:35.430 --> 00:31:37.470
soldiers to go work at the coal mines. He wasn't

600
00:31:37.490 --> 00:31:39.539
going to let his country freeze. Well, that did it.

601
00:31:39.930 --> 00:31:42.019
Coal miners, they went back to work. Soldiers never had

602
00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:44.000
to pick up a shovel or a pick or anything

603
00:31:44.039 --> 00:31:47.059
like that. Been in New York? Are you rooting for

604
00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:48.160
the Yankees for the World Series?

605
00:31:50.690 --> 00:31:53.069
Yeah, I mean, anything that's New York, you have to

606
00:31:53.089 --> 00:31:54.410
go out of route for them if you live here.

607
00:31:54.630 --> 00:31:56.759
You haven't got much of a choice. It's like a

608
00:31:57.079 --> 00:32:00.880
localized almost religion on some level, yeah. So, you know,

609
00:32:01.460 --> 00:32:02.920
I grew up watching a lot of the Mets and

610
00:32:02.940 --> 00:32:05.160
the Yankees because wherever my father or mother was able

611
00:32:05.180 --> 00:32:07.789
to get some tickets, we'd go and see that, you know,

612
00:32:07.940 --> 00:32:12.109
see them play. And, you know, again, a lot of

613
00:32:12.150 --> 00:32:13.769
hard work. You know, if you get down by field

614
00:32:13.809 --> 00:32:16.980
level at any game, You can actually see how hard

615
00:32:17.019 --> 00:32:19.099
these people work. I got to do a show for

616
00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:22.920
the Brooklyn Cyclones years ago on Coney Island on the field.

617
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:27.869
And I did two in-between inning segments and a 45-minute

618
00:32:27.900 --> 00:32:31.990
postgame game closer. And I give a lot of credit

619
00:32:32.009 --> 00:32:35.569
to those ballplayers because the field I was on doing

620
00:32:35.589 --> 00:32:38.549
my show in those two short segments and then the

621
00:32:38.569 --> 00:32:41.750
game closer had the sun beating on that field all

622
00:32:41.809 --> 00:32:44.349
day in that heat. It had to be 120 degrees

623
00:32:44.410 --> 00:32:46.920
Fahrenheit down there. I don't know how those guys play

624
00:32:46.940 --> 00:32:48.779
ball in that level of heat. It's mind blowing.

625
00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:51.079
It's basically the minor leaguers. I mean, they don't have,

626
00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:53.180
I mean, at least the major leaguers, I'm sure those

627
00:32:53.220 --> 00:32:55.750
dugouts are pretty lush, but in those minor leaguers, they're

628
00:32:55.769 --> 00:32:56.710
just stuck in a box.

629
00:32:58.029 --> 00:32:58.269
Yeah.

630
00:32:58.529 --> 00:33:01.470
And I got to hypnotize these people like inside the

631
00:33:01.490 --> 00:33:05.009
stadium and then bring them out on the field. And, um, I,

632
00:33:05.529 --> 00:33:07.730
there was no chairs obviously to do a hypnosis show.

633
00:33:08.650 --> 00:33:11.890
So I had them sit between home and third and,

634
00:33:12.500 --> 00:33:14.259
You know, I pre-hypnotized them. We went to sleep, and

635
00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:17.779
they kind of toppled over like dominoes towards the outfield.

636
00:33:18.059 --> 00:33:20.819
And 8,000-plus people simultaneously made a noise I'll never forget.

637
00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:24.930
I'll always remember this noise. It was this giant gasping sound.

638
00:33:24.970 --> 00:33:28.289
It was this giant, oh! You know, if I was

639
00:33:28.309 --> 00:33:31.529
a famous movie director, I could never get 8,000-plus people

640
00:33:31.549 --> 00:33:34.329
to make that noise simultaneously. But they did it because

641
00:33:34.349 --> 00:33:37.049
it was a natural reaction. And I was so overwhelmed

642
00:33:37.069 --> 00:33:38.690
with happiness, I looked over to the left, and there

643
00:33:38.710 --> 00:33:42.789
was the Jumbotron with me on it. And I'm like, Okay, 8,000 plus.

644
00:33:42.829 --> 00:33:44.950
How big is the Budokan in Japan? How big are

645
00:33:44.970 --> 00:33:47.750
these soccer fields in Brazil? Let's really see what a

646
00:33:47.750 --> 00:33:51.630
stadium show can do. Right. I'm at this step. Let's

647
00:33:51.650 --> 00:33:53.289
go two steps higher and see what I can pull

648
00:33:53.390 --> 00:33:57.039
off here. So, again, a lot of respect for the

649
00:33:57.059 --> 00:33:59.299
amount of work and effort that they do in terms

650
00:33:59.359 --> 00:34:02.259
of training and working with injuries and all the rest

651
00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:03.180
of the stuff they go through.

652
00:34:03.460 --> 00:34:05.440
You ever work with athletes to try and make them like,

653
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:08.969
I don't know, they want to– I guess you could

654
00:34:08.989 --> 00:34:11.480
probably help him with stress or something like that, maybe,

655
00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:12.719
under pressure.

656
00:34:14.059 --> 00:34:15.599
I had a guy come to see me who was

657
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:17.800
a pitcher in a major league team one time years ago,

658
00:34:19.179 --> 00:34:21.639
and his game slumped. He had two houses, three cars,

659
00:34:21.659 --> 00:34:24.760
a lot of payments going out to those places, and

660
00:34:24.780 --> 00:34:26.380
they dumped him back in the minor leagues, and his

661
00:34:26.420 --> 00:34:29.460
money dropped off drastically because he wasn't playing in the

662
00:34:29.500 --> 00:34:32.739
major leagues anymore. And his mom of all people reached

663
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:34.119
out and said, I heard you do a great thing

664
00:34:34.139 --> 00:34:38.159
with hypnosis. Work with my son. So I worked with

665
00:34:38.199 --> 00:34:41.579
her son. I did one session. And back in those days,

666
00:34:41.599 --> 00:34:44.639
it was audio cassettes. So we're talking a while back before,

667
00:34:44.659 --> 00:34:46.550
you know, CDs, which were a pain in the neck

668
00:34:46.590 --> 00:34:49.210
to burn. And then now it's all MP3s, which are

669
00:34:49.230 --> 00:34:54.429
really easy to work with. And within a week or two,

670
00:34:54.469 --> 00:34:57.820
he was back in the major leagues again. And then

671
00:34:58.300 --> 00:35:00.599
one of his teammates found out what his secret was,

672
00:35:00.619 --> 00:35:02.820
and they were having an argument. And through his tape

673
00:35:02.860 --> 00:35:05.849
down an incinerator, So his mother called, they were all upset.

674
00:35:05.889 --> 00:35:08.090
Do you have a backup copy? Oh my goodness. I said, no,

675
00:35:08.110 --> 00:35:10.610
but I have notes. I'll record you a new one,

676
00:35:10.650 --> 00:35:13.070
which I did. So I kept a copy for me.

677
00:35:13.110 --> 00:35:14.730
I sent one to her. I sent one to him.

678
00:35:15.349 --> 00:35:16.989
And last I heard from him, he was a pitching coach.

679
00:35:17.909 --> 00:35:22.300
So he stayed in baseball after he stopped pitching. And

680
00:35:24.019 --> 00:35:26.079
his entire life was turned around by the work we

681
00:35:26.099 --> 00:35:29.059
did together. And I love on the clinical end, when

682
00:35:29.099 --> 00:35:32.599
a person's entire life changes. Like if I get somebody cigarettes,

683
00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:36.030
for example, And they're in their twenties or thirties and,

684
00:35:36.130 --> 00:35:38.730
you know, 25, 30 years later, they can go dance

685
00:35:38.769 --> 00:35:43.090
at their child or grandchild's way. You know, that's something miraculous.

686
00:35:43.139 --> 00:35:44.550
You can't even put a price on what I did

687
00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:46.480
in terms of working with them or what they did

688
00:35:46.500 --> 00:35:48.780
for themselves through me working with them. It's probably a

689
00:35:48.800 --> 00:35:49.420
better way to put it.

690
00:35:49.619 --> 00:35:53.780
Well, exactly. Well, it was 1903 today. The Boston Americans

691
00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:56.619
beat the Pittsburgh pirates to win that very first world series.

692
00:35:57.260 --> 00:35:59.219
Boston won five games to three. It was actually a

693
00:35:59.260 --> 00:36:02.059
best of nine. You're wondering, Boston, they changed their name

694
00:36:02.079 --> 00:36:07.250
from the Americans to the Red Sox in 1907. 1976,

695
00:36:07.250 --> 00:36:10.110
a cargo jet crashed on takeoff in Santa Cruz, Bolivia.

696
00:36:10.550 --> 00:36:13.250
Killed all three on the cargo jet. Killed 97 people

697
00:36:13.289 --> 00:36:15.710
on the ground. Sadly, it crashed into a school. Yeah,

698
00:36:15.730 --> 00:36:16.949
most of those that were killed were kids.

699
00:36:18.179 --> 00:36:19.360
Wow.

700
00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:22.400
You ever head down to South America at all?

701
00:36:23.179 --> 00:36:25.480
Not yet, but I've worked with people online that way.

702
00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:26.579
I just haven't gotten on a plane.

703
00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:28.800
Well, you'll remember this story. It was in 2010 in Chile.

704
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:32.739
33 miners were brought to the surface one at a time.

705
00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:35.780
They'd been trapped in that mine below ground for 69 days.

706
00:36:36.460 --> 00:36:37.099
Remember that story?

707
00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:38.659
I remember that.

708
00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:40.420
Okay.

709
00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:42.170
We were so happy to be alive coming out of

710
00:36:42.190 --> 00:36:43.230
that mine, you know?

711
00:36:43.369 --> 00:36:46.570
Right. Okay. Now, you're going to remember this, and I'm

712
00:36:46.590 --> 00:36:50.150
going to remember this, and most everybody probably over 45

713
00:36:50.150 --> 00:36:53.579
or so will remember that. But you know how comedy

714
00:36:53.619 --> 00:36:55.260
has changed, and you've had to adapt and all that.

715
00:36:55.650 --> 00:36:57.769
I remember back in like the 80s, there were just

716
00:36:57.909 --> 00:37:02.349
jokes about everybody. It didn't matter whether you were black, white, Polish, Italian,

717
00:37:02.389 --> 00:37:04.510
Puerto Rican. If it was somebody, they just made a

718
00:37:04.530 --> 00:37:06.409
joke about it and nobody really got offended by it.

719
00:37:06.409 --> 00:37:08.750
Do you remember those days?

720
00:37:09.869 --> 00:37:12.530
I went to a grammar school that was like that.

721
00:37:13.010 --> 00:37:14.489
We moved around a lot and they kept putting me

722
00:37:14.510 --> 00:37:17.239
in Catholic school. So I was in five grammar schools.

723
00:37:17.300 --> 00:37:20.280
I was always the new kid, which is tough because

724
00:37:20.300 --> 00:37:21.960
you got part of the clique. You got to fight

725
00:37:21.980 --> 00:37:25.219
your way through it, whatever it was. But, you know,

726
00:37:25.420 --> 00:37:27.820
there were a lot of ethnic jokes in that last school,

727
00:37:27.940 --> 00:37:31.329
you know, and insults and the rest of it. But

728
00:37:31.369 --> 00:37:33.489
nobody took it so big. You know, I'm wondering how

729
00:37:33.530 --> 00:37:35.030
we got so thin-skinned. Right.

730
00:37:35.349 --> 00:37:39.750
Well, if you remember those days, then this story, it's

731
00:37:39.849 --> 00:37:43.199
actually a little funny. Okay, it was in 2018. The

732
00:37:43.280 --> 00:37:45.760
oldest human remains that have ever been found in the

733
00:37:46.099 --> 00:37:50.260
country of Poland, they were dug up. They date back 115,000 years.

734
00:37:50.920 --> 00:37:53.340
Scientists say the remains are of a Neanderthal child who

735
00:37:53.360 --> 00:37:57.449
was eaten by a big bird. I find that humorous.

736
00:37:57.469 --> 00:37:58.949
I hate when that happens.

737
00:37:59.170 --> 00:38:02.909
Exactly. Now, you were talking about stopping with smoking and

738
00:38:02.929 --> 00:38:05.760
helping the ballplayers and that kind of stuff. You don't

739
00:38:05.780 --> 00:38:07.059
have to name a name or anything, but do you

740
00:38:07.099 --> 00:38:11.320
have anybody who saw your biggest transformation after you worked

741
00:38:11.360 --> 00:38:11.579
with them?

742
00:38:13.639 --> 00:38:16.420
I've had all kinds of amazing things happen in private sessions.

743
00:38:17.039 --> 00:38:19.960
And a lot of times, they don't tell me for

744
00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:22.679
a while. Recently, a couple of months ago, a lady

745
00:38:22.699 --> 00:38:25.079
brought her husband over here. And I had worked with

746
00:38:25.099 --> 00:38:29.989
her 17 years ago. but public speaking. She got promoted

747
00:38:30.219 --> 00:38:32.530
to a vice president level in a job someplace, I

748
00:38:32.570 --> 00:38:35.090
think it was. And they told her she had to

749
00:38:35.150 --> 00:38:38.449
run meetings in front of groups of people, peers in

750
00:38:38.489 --> 00:38:42.780
her company, that she was actually outranking in terms of

751
00:38:42.820 --> 00:38:47.599
her title and position. And she was terrified to give speeches.

752
00:38:48.559 --> 00:38:50.059
And she gets a hold of me on a phone

753
00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:51.420
call and said, I want to bring my husband to

754
00:38:51.480 --> 00:38:55.309
see you. And I've been meaning to thank you. I've

755
00:38:55.409 --> 00:38:58.219
been meaning to make this phone call 17 years for

756
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:01.219
me to make a phone call. I wonder how she

757
00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:03.679
pays her phone bill, you know? 17 years old. I

758
00:39:03.699 --> 00:39:05.960
might have sent you that check 17 years ago, you know?

759
00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:08.579
But very nice lady and wrote me a nice Google

760
00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:11.380
review about how her life was turned around by the

761
00:39:11.420 --> 00:39:16.449
work we did. And some miraculous things happened, too. I've seen, like,

762
00:39:16.489 --> 00:39:20.070
people have a particular illness, and the doctors call me

763
00:39:20.110 --> 00:39:23.349
up yelling, this illness went into remission. Like, how did

764
00:39:23.389 --> 00:39:25.829
that happen? Well, I talked to their immune system subconsciously.

765
00:39:25.869 --> 00:39:27.880
Maybe that was enough to make a change. Maybe it's

766
00:39:27.900 --> 00:39:30.380
the work you did and the suggestions I get, who

767
00:39:30.409 --> 00:39:34.840
knows i'm just happy the transmission of my words was

768
00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:37.800
possibly something to do with this person feeling better well.

769
00:39:37.699 --> 00:39:40.440
What do you tell people who uh are afraid of

770
00:39:41.159 --> 00:39:43.500
being hypnotized for the fact they feel like they're going

771
00:39:43.519 --> 00:39:46.679
to lose up control you know That scares me.

772
00:39:46.679 --> 00:39:49.019
There's no loss of control. After this many decades of

773
00:39:49.059 --> 00:39:51.699
hypnotizing people, nobody's robbed a bank and broken all the money.

774
00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:55.920
One can hope, but that's illegal. We don't do that.

775
00:39:56.500 --> 00:40:01.360
But there's no loss of control. There's scientific proof about that, too.

776
00:40:01.380 --> 00:40:06.340
There's been research studies about asking people to do something illicit.

777
00:40:06.380 --> 00:40:09.510
I'm not part of those studies, you should understand. But

778
00:40:10.010 --> 00:40:13.269
I've read the research, and there's a built-in safety mechanism

779
00:40:13.309 --> 00:40:15.789
in everybody's mind. So if I told somebody to leap

780
00:40:15.849 --> 00:40:18.289
off the roof because they could grow wings and fly,

781
00:40:18.309 --> 00:40:23.050
they're not going to do it. So there's no loss

782
00:40:23.110 --> 00:40:25.539
of control. And people are really afraid of that. You know,

783
00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:28.440
that got started back in the turn of the previous

784
00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:32.840
last century, not the most recent one, where the top

785
00:40:32.860 --> 00:40:38.110
books were Dracula and Zingali and Trilby about this evil

786
00:40:38.170 --> 00:40:42.130
show business guy hypnotizing this opera singer. It's based on P.T.

787
00:40:42.170 --> 00:40:45.510
Barnum and Jenny Lynn. the Swedish Nightingale, which I did

788
00:40:45.550 --> 00:40:48.329
a performance piece for in Battery Park years ago called

789
00:40:48.349 --> 00:40:51.489
The Pervasive Echo, where I actually hypnotized an opera singer.

790
00:40:51.510 --> 00:40:53.469
And she said, when I get big and I really

791
00:40:53.510 --> 00:40:55.010
make it, I want you to follow me. You'll be

792
00:40:55.030 --> 00:40:58.719
my professional hypnotist. I sing so much better when I'm

793
00:40:58.760 --> 00:41:02.579
in hypnosis than I normally do because it's easier. And

794
00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:04.639
I said, yeah, you're in a purely subconscious flow state.

795
00:41:04.679 --> 00:41:07.300
Of course, it's going to work better for you. So

796
00:41:08.360 --> 00:41:10.880
the fear stuff is silly. I mean, my first exposure

797
00:41:10.900 --> 00:41:14.329
to hypnosis was in terms of it actually being something

798
00:41:14.349 --> 00:41:17.369
you could see, was Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudge shooting

799
00:41:17.429 --> 00:41:19.610
laser beams out of their eyes at each other, you know?

800
00:41:19.690 --> 00:41:20.030
Right.

801
00:41:21.030 --> 00:41:23.010
And that sort of thing. That's what the public seems

802
00:41:23.030 --> 00:41:26.440
to think this is. And it's just not that at all.

803
00:41:26.460 --> 00:41:27.940
I mean, if I could make red laser beams come

804
00:41:27.960 --> 00:41:29.960
out of my eyes, I'd be doing that on the

805
00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:32.340
Super Bowl or something, you know? Like, here's a laser

806
00:41:32.360 --> 00:41:35.000
beam guy, you know, and sit there the rest of

807
00:41:35.019 --> 00:41:38.280
the year just, you know, enjoying myself or something. But.

808
00:41:39.949 --> 00:41:42.650
The bottom line is that people have a lot of misconceptions.

809
00:41:42.690 --> 00:41:44.829
And part of, again, going back to what I said earlier,

810
00:41:45.590 --> 00:41:47.829
is being a goodwill ambassador. You know, let people know

811
00:41:47.889 --> 00:41:50.590
what this stuff is. I've done a lot of demonstrations

812
00:41:50.630 --> 00:41:56.090
with speed hypnosis techniques I've created in restaurants, in public places, hotels,

813
00:41:56.449 --> 00:41:59.940
airports sometimes. I've hypnotized people next to me on planes

814
00:41:59.960 --> 00:42:03.039
who are white knuckle flyers. If you're a hypnotist, please, please,

815
00:42:03.079 --> 00:42:06.019
I'm terrified. Do something. I put them right out. Before

816
00:42:06.059 --> 00:42:07.119
I put them out, I say, is it okay to

817
00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:08.500
keep you in hypnosis until we land?

818
00:42:08.559 --> 00:42:08.699
Yep.

819
00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:15.019
Put them out, we land, open your eyes, and they

820
00:42:15.059 --> 00:42:18.840
missed the entire flight. They're there, they're at the location,

821
00:42:18.860 --> 00:42:21.679
and they're thanking me profusely, you know?

822
00:42:23.320 --> 00:42:24.320
Yeah, that would be cool.

823
00:42:25.239 --> 00:42:30.000
All right we're gonna see who was born on.

824
00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:33.969
October the 13th before we do because these are kind

825
00:42:34.170 --> 00:42:36.670
of big names you don't have to name.

826
00:42:36.230 --> 00:42:39.309
Drop or anything but if you've done any big celebrities.

827
00:42:52.380 --> 00:42:58.530
I've hypnotized some, some, some libraries. Yeah. Again, I can't

828
00:42:58.590 --> 00:43:00.010
name drop these private sessions.

829
00:43:00.289 --> 00:43:00.590
Right.

830
00:43:00.630 --> 00:43:03.269
And some of them I've actually trained to do clinical hypnosis.

831
00:43:03.909 --> 00:43:06.329
One of them I trained the clinical hypnosis, speed hypnosis

832
00:43:06.389 --> 00:43:07.010
and stage work.

833
00:43:07.710 --> 00:43:12.489
Oh, okay. Actress Melinda Dillon. She was born in Arkansas.

834
00:43:13.159 --> 00:43:16.039
I guess it was hope same with Bill Clinton in 1939.

835
00:43:16.039 --> 00:43:18.360
Best known, I guess for playing Ralphie's mom in the movie,

836
00:43:18.380 --> 00:43:21.849
a Christmas story. She was nominated for Oscars twice. I

837
00:43:21.869 --> 00:43:23.769
forgot about her in Close Encounters of the Third Kind

838
00:43:23.809 --> 00:43:26.590
and Absence of Malice. She was also in Slapshot and

839
00:43:26.610 --> 00:43:28.789
Harry and the Henderson. I love Slapshot. That was funny.

840
00:43:28.829 --> 00:43:31.250
I was a little kid, but it was funny. She

841
00:43:31.269 --> 00:43:34.070
married once for 15 years and had one son from it. Melinda,

842
00:43:34.090 --> 00:43:35.030
she died in 2023 at 83 years old. 50 Ways

843
00:43:35.070 --> 00:43:35.670
to Leave Your Lover.

844
00:43:41.340 --> 00:43:42.900
Paul Simon, he's 85.

845
00:43:42.900 --> 00:43:45.239
Is he in one of those people you've seen in

846
00:43:45.460 --> 00:43:47.380
all those shows back there?

847
00:43:47.579 --> 00:43:48.360
It's funny.

848
00:43:48.420 --> 00:43:48.579
He's 85.

849
00:43:48.559 --> 00:43:51.210
You know, it's amazing how time goes by, you.

850
00:43:51.130 --> 00:44:10.630
Know, It's like going to a high school reunion and

851
00:44:10.710 --> 00:44:13.309
seeing people that in your mind are still high school

852
00:44:13.389 --> 00:44:15.449
age from when you remember them back in those days.

853
00:44:15.489 --> 00:44:18.690
And suddenly they've put on weight and they've lost hair

854
00:44:18.809 --> 00:44:21.530
or something has happened to them. And it's like, oh

855
00:44:21.570 --> 00:44:24.469
my goodness, what happened to you? A lot of people

856
00:44:24.510 --> 00:44:26.510
who know me say, you don't seem to age much.

857
00:44:26.530 --> 00:44:31.500
I'm like, yeah, it's just my mindset. But it's amazing

858
00:44:31.519 --> 00:44:34.559
to me because I recently ran into a friend who

859
00:44:34.579 --> 00:44:38.320
I hadn't seen since my teenage years. he reached out

860
00:44:38.340 --> 00:44:41.420
to me online. We got together and I remember he

861
00:44:41.440 --> 00:44:44.659
was this tall, willowy guy with long hair and he's

862
00:44:44.679 --> 00:44:46.820
put on some weight and his hair is pretty much gone.

863
00:44:46.940 --> 00:44:49.360
And like, if I was to walk past him in

864
00:44:49.409 --> 00:44:51.849
the street and not having remet him, I wouldn't know

865
00:44:51.869 --> 00:44:55.590
who he is. So it's amazing when you play something

866
00:44:55.610 --> 00:44:57.769
from a long time ago. Like I think of like

867
00:44:57.809 --> 00:44:59.769
Paul Simon on Saturday Night Live when I was a

868
00:44:59.789 --> 00:45:03.289
kid myself, you know, and I'm sure it doesn't look

869
00:45:03.309 --> 00:45:04.869
like that anymore. Right.

870
00:45:05.849 --> 00:45:08.170
Now, He was born in Newark, New Jersey. Now he

871
00:45:08.190 --> 00:45:11.380
started performing with Art Garfunkel in 1956. They were both

872
00:45:11.389 --> 00:45:14.260
still in high school. So Simon and Garfunkel, some of

873
00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:17.340
their hits are The Sound of Silence, Mrs. Robinson, Bridge

874
00:45:17.440 --> 00:45:20.679
Over Troubled Water, Cecilia. They broke up in 1970, but

875
00:45:20.699 --> 00:45:22.440
they did reunion shows for a long time. I think

876
00:45:22.460 --> 00:45:25.960
they called it completely off in like 2010. Now somehow

877
00:45:26.019 --> 00:45:29.679
those guys, they've sold over a hundred million records. Solo, Paul,

878
00:45:29.719 --> 00:45:32.659
he sold over 35 million. He had a son from

879
00:45:32.699 --> 00:45:34.949
his first wife. Then he married actress Carrie Fisher for

880
00:45:35.030 --> 00:45:38.550
one year. Then he married Edie Bickel in 1992, and

881
00:45:38.590 --> 00:45:40.650
they have three kids. I don't know how he pulled

882
00:45:40.670 --> 00:45:45.969
that one off. Mon Wilson, he died just in January

883
00:45:46.010 --> 00:45:49.320
this last year. He was 79. He was born in Valdosta, Georgia.

884
00:45:49.860 --> 00:45:52.820
He was the son in Sanford and Son. Red Fox

885
00:45:52.860 --> 00:45:56.840
played his dad. Now, Don, he was on Broadway when

886
00:45:56.880 --> 00:45:59.400
he was four. He danced at the Apollo when he

887
00:45:59.440 --> 00:46:01.380
was 12. And when he was 21, he was wounded

888
00:46:01.420 --> 00:46:04.039
fighting over in Vietnam. And he came home and got

889
00:46:04.059 --> 00:46:06.659
the role of Lamont on Sanford and Son. The last

890
00:46:06.659 --> 00:46:12.409
20 years or so, yeah, he wrote books for Christian publishers,

891
00:46:12.449 --> 00:46:15.530
and he was really popular on Christian TV. He married

892
00:46:15.570 --> 00:46:18.789
back in 1974, and they had six kids. Were you

893
00:46:18.809 --> 00:46:22.010
a Red Fox fan? I.

894
00:46:22.030 --> 00:46:25.489
Yeah, I used to like that show. I've seen reruns

895
00:46:25.550 --> 00:46:28.599
of that show a lot on cable and on streaming,

896
00:46:29.059 --> 00:46:33.219
and it's a funny show. And I had friends that

897
00:46:33.260 --> 00:46:38.849
used to steal their... father or mother's naughty versions of

898
00:46:38.949 --> 00:46:44.210
Red Fox stand-up, you know, with the five-letter words in there. And,

899
00:46:44.250 --> 00:46:46.210
you know, apparently the parents used to play that stuff.

900
00:46:46.230 --> 00:46:53.789
The kids went to bed and left themselves to sleep. So, yeah.

901
00:46:53.829 --> 00:46:56.690
Listen back to him now. I mean, granted, he couldn't

902
00:46:56.710 --> 00:47:00.050
get away with it. I mean, not just the F-bombs,

903
00:47:00.070 --> 00:47:03.179
but his whole, you know, everything about him. He was

904
00:47:03.199 --> 00:47:06.000
so politically incorrect, but... if you grew up in that time,

905
00:47:06.019 --> 00:47:07.159
he was just funny as hell.

906
00:47:09.400 --> 00:47:11.360
Yeah. I, I, you know, one of the things is

907
00:47:11.380 --> 00:47:14.940
that like, I've seen shows that I've done sometimes at universities,

908
00:47:14.980 --> 00:47:16.500
but they want to go through what I'm doing. And

909
00:47:16.539 --> 00:47:18.880
I'm like, well, here's a script from like 10 or

910
00:47:18.880 --> 00:47:21.260
15 years ago. That's still in the computer. I can

911
00:47:21.280 --> 00:47:23.679
print you one, but it's not the show I'm doing now.

912
00:47:24.300 --> 00:47:27.980
You know, I'm not intentionally offending anybody, but on the

913
00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:31.909
other hand, being offended is a very subjective thing. You know, like,

914
00:47:33.440 --> 00:47:37.219
There's certain hand gestures, like the okay hand gesture, you know,

915
00:47:37.239 --> 00:47:40.000
with the fingers up in the air. Every pizza box

916
00:47:40.039 --> 00:47:42.000
in America has an Italian guy on it, or at

917
00:47:42.039 --> 00:47:44.230
least half of them do, with a mustache, and he's

918
00:47:44.250 --> 00:47:47.530
got the okay sign. And the okay sign in some

919
00:47:47.570 --> 00:47:50.670
places now is considered offensive because it means something else

920
00:47:50.710 --> 00:47:55.389
that somebody cooked up a meaning to. I never heard that. Yeah,

921
00:47:55.469 --> 00:47:57.650
so I always ask, is there anything that just came

922
00:47:57.690 --> 00:47:59.909
down the road I'm not aware of that's politically offensive?

923
00:48:00.679 --> 00:48:02.860
If I'm working in a college someplace or a high school,

924
00:48:04.059 --> 00:48:06.480
And if somebody says, well, don't do this, then I won't.

925
00:48:06.500 --> 00:48:07.199
Right.

926
00:48:07.460 --> 00:48:09.159
You know? I do this thing.

927
00:48:09.199 --> 00:48:26.269
There's only one way. There's only one way around.

928
00:48:30.630 --> 00:48:32.289
I didn't mean to cut you off there, but it

929
00:48:32.329 --> 00:48:34.610
was for the Red Rocker, Sammy Hagar. He's 79. He

930
00:48:34.769 --> 00:48:39.269
was born in Salinas, California. Now he started in the

931
00:48:39.289 --> 00:48:43.130
band Montrose. He went solo in 1976. Your love is

932
00:48:43.179 --> 00:48:47.000
driving me crazy. Three lockbox. I can't drive 55. Heavy metal.

933
00:48:47.039 --> 00:48:52.039
Those are some big Sammy Hagar hits. Or Sammy. Oh, yeah. Anyway,

934
00:48:52.059 --> 00:48:53.139
because I'm getting to 1985 to 1996 with Van Halen.

935
00:48:53.159 --> 00:48:54.130
Were you a Hagar or Van Halen fan?

936
00:49:01.050 --> 00:49:02.989
I'm just a general Van Halen fan. I've seen them

937
00:49:03.030 --> 00:49:07.300
in numerous incarnations. I even drove to Saratoga, which is

938
00:49:07.340 --> 00:49:09.639
like five hours from where I live, to see the

939
00:49:09.679 --> 00:49:12.139
Sammy and Dave show, or the Dave and Sammy show,

940
00:49:12.159 --> 00:49:15.050
depending upon which one of those people is talking about

941
00:49:15.269 --> 00:49:19.750
being on that stage. I've seen Van Halen probably seven

942
00:49:20.050 --> 00:49:23.010
or eight times in various incarnations. I even saw one

943
00:49:23.050 --> 00:49:26.420
incarnation with Gary Cherone. So if it's Van Halen, I

944
00:49:26.780 --> 00:49:29.960
have it in my phone. I have it in my heart.

945
00:49:31.159 --> 00:49:33.699
We've recently, just like yesterday, the day before, it was

946
00:49:33.719 --> 00:49:35.599
the anniversary of Eddie Van Halen's passing.

947
00:49:35.619 --> 00:49:35.840
Mm-hmm.

948
00:49:36.719 --> 00:49:38.960
And I even met Valerie Bertinelli in the elevator in

949
00:49:38.980 --> 00:49:43.780
Madison Square Garden one time. And I think in 2012,

950
00:49:43.780 --> 00:49:46.550
I was going to leave the building and it was

951
00:49:46.570 --> 00:49:50.670
a mad rush to run out. And, you know, Sammy

952
00:49:50.710 --> 00:49:53.230
wasn't with them. It was Dave at that point, again, reunited.

953
00:49:53.250 --> 00:49:55.829
And I walked on the elevator with this couple I

954
00:49:55.869 --> 00:49:57.989
was with. My friend at the time was able to

955
00:49:58.030 --> 00:50:00.110
get the tickets. I didn't get them. I tried to

956
00:50:00.159 --> 00:50:01.800
get them, but it was that phone call, make a

957
00:50:01.800 --> 00:50:04.800
phone call, get a ticket. And somehow he got through.

958
00:50:04.820 --> 00:50:08.050
And I got onto the elevator being in show business

959
00:50:08.090 --> 00:50:10.829
myself and I went, whoa, it's Valerie Bertinelli. How you doing?

960
00:50:11.449 --> 00:50:14.039
I said, there's some wolf on stage who's doing great.

961
00:50:14.099 --> 00:50:15.820
I'm saying you should be so proud of him and

962
00:50:16.400 --> 00:50:18.460
whatever you did to hold this band together and stuff,

963
00:50:18.480 --> 00:50:20.500
been a fan of yours and stuff. And she's a

964
00:50:20.619 --> 00:50:24.909
very wonderful, pretty lady. She just blushed really like pink, red, purple.

965
00:50:24.969 --> 00:50:28.110
And she's like, thank you very much. And my friend's

966
00:50:28.190 --> 00:50:30.409
wife was on the elevator and she wanted to get

967
00:50:30.449 --> 00:50:32.389
her two cents in, but she was a bit starstruck.

968
00:50:33.150 --> 00:50:37.219
So she kind of, in a very robotic way, parroted

969
00:50:37.239 --> 00:50:39.719
some of the stuff I said, kind of like for

970
00:50:39.760 --> 00:50:41.280
the older people in the audience, because in New York

971
00:50:41.320 --> 00:50:44.440
we play these clips all the time, these shows, kind

972
00:50:44.460 --> 00:50:46.980
of did like a Ralph Crandon. It was like, sung good,

973
00:50:47.079 --> 00:50:50.449
do great, enjoy, nice. And I'm like, we've got to

974
00:50:50.469 --> 00:50:52.690
get back to the home now. They locked the door soon.

975
00:50:53.090 --> 00:50:54.130
We don't get her in there. We're going to be

976
00:50:54.150 --> 00:50:56.849
in trouble. And like everybody in the elevator laughed. And

977
00:50:57.070 --> 00:50:59.670
she was just a very sweet lady, Valerie. So yeah,

978
00:50:59.809 --> 00:51:04.030
I'm a huge, huge, huge Van Halen fan. My favorite band.

979
00:51:04.639 --> 00:51:06.699
Used to be the Stones. Stones were number two at

980
00:51:06.719 --> 00:51:10.400
this point, but very, very, very much of Van Halen, Finn,

981
00:51:10.440 --> 00:51:11.280
and only carnations.

982
00:51:11.820 --> 00:51:14.320
Sam, he's a big, big, big-time businessman. He owns four

983
00:51:14.389 --> 00:51:17.710
different types of alcohol brands, and he owns 13 restaurants.

984
00:51:18.969 --> 00:51:21.409
His first wife, they got divorced after 26 years. They

985
00:51:21.449 --> 00:51:24.250
had two sons. Married his second wife in 1995, and

986
00:51:24.269 --> 00:51:29.829
they have two daughters. Now, you obviously, like me, remember

987
00:51:30.150 --> 00:51:32.889
MTV when they actually were on the air and actually

988
00:51:32.909 --> 00:51:36.239
had videos and that kind of thing. Sammy on that video,

989
00:51:36.300 --> 00:51:39.320
I Can't Drive 55, he still owns that red Ferrari

990
00:51:39.340 --> 00:51:40.260
that he drove in the video.

991
00:51:42.280 --> 00:51:46.860
I realize the way your.

992
00:51:46.239 --> 00:51:56.619
Eyes deceive me With tender looks that I mistook for

993
00:51:57.059 --> 00:52:02.579
love So take away the flowers.

994
00:52:01.900 --> 00:52:04.599
You have any idea who that was?

995
00:52:06.400 --> 00:52:07.840
No, it came in kind of gobbled on my head.

996
00:52:07.929 --> 00:52:08.360
I didn't hear it.

997
00:52:08.510 --> 00:52:11.469
Oh, it didn't? Oh, that was 14-year-old Marie Osmond. Yeah,

998
00:52:11.489 --> 00:52:13.710
that was her song, Paper Roses. It was the first

999
00:52:13.750 --> 00:52:16.570
song Marie ever released. It was her first number one song, too.

1000
00:52:16.590 --> 00:52:19.309
It went to number one. Marie, she was born in Ogden,

1001
00:52:19.409 --> 00:52:23.090
Utah in 1959. She's 67 today. Now, she was the

1002
00:52:23.190 --> 00:52:26.409
seventh of the eight Osmond kids, the only girl. Now,

1003
00:52:26.469 --> 00:52:28.250
she had a lot of success in country music in

1004
00:52:28.269 --> 00:52:30.780
the 1980s, but her biggest success has always been when

1005
00:52:30.820 --> 00:52:33.360
she teamed up with her brother Donnie. You remember Donnie

1006
00:52:33.400 --> 00:52:35.800
and Marie? They had their own TV variety show, made

1007
00:52:35.820 --> 00:52:37.849
some movies. From 2008. What's that?

1008
00:52:37.949 --> 00:52:39.989
She was a little bit country. He was a little

1009
00:52:40.030 --> 00:52:40.750
bit rock and roll.

1010
00:52:40.809 --> 00:52:44.340
Exactly. From 2008 to 2019, they had one of the

1011
00:52:44.380 --> 00:52:48.119
biggest residencies out there in Las Vegas. I remember like

1012
00:52:48.119 --> 00:52:50.159
2011 or 2012. I had my choice, Blue Man or

1013
00:52:50.199 --> 00:52:52.159
Donnie Murray. And I thought, I'll go Donnie Murray. We

1014
00:52:52.199 --> 00:52:58.179
couldn't get in. It was sold out. You ever run

1015
00:52:58.219 --> 00:53:00.039
into Murray when you were in Vegas doing all your shows?

1016
00:53:01.199 --> 00:53:03.239
No, but you mentioned MTV a couple of seconds ago

1017
00:53:03.389 --> 00:53:06.619
and I'm a former MTV host. I had my own

1018
00:53:06.659 --> 00:53:09.840
show on MTV called Hypnotize My Roommate. We did some

1019
00:53:09.880 --> 00:53:12.440
pilot episodes, and the last time I saw them, I

1020
00:53:12.480 --> 00:53:15.599
did seven or eight hours hypnotizing couples. And they were

1021
00:53:15.619 --> 00:53:17.239
going to revamp the show, and I kept saying to them,

1022
00:53:17.670 --> 00:53:21.170
let's do some funny stuff, not just hypnotize people and

1023
00:53:21.210 --> 00:53:24.449
pretend it's a lie detector or something. No, no, we

1024
00:53:24.510 --> 00:53:28.690
have our own ideas. But not a lot of people

1025
00:53:28.710 --> 00:53:30.570
you're going to run into, a former MTV host.

1026
00:53:30.800 --> 00:53:33.159
No, you've got that. That's pretty cool. I didn't even

1027
00:53:33.179 --> 00:53:35.900
know that. Stumbled on that by accident. Too bad you

1028
00:53:35.940 --> 00:53:37.099
didn't get a red Ferrari for.

1029
00:53:37.019 --> 00:53:40.369
It, though. I should have lived so long.

1030
00:53:40.409 --> 00:53:46.769
I think Marie, one of her biggest, as a solo artist,

1031
00:53:46.809 --> 00:53:48.250
one of her favorite things all the time, she got

1032
00:53:48.289 --> 00:53:50.489
third place on Dancing in the Stars in 2007. So

1033
00:53:51.809 --> 00:53:54.170
she had that. She lost to Helio Castaneves, the race

1034
00:53:54.190 --> 00:53:58.739
car driver. Now, Marie's personal life. She had one son

1035
00:53:58.760 --> 00:54:02.079
from her first husband. She married her second husband for

1036
00:54:02.079 --> 00:54:05.280
21 years, and they had seven kids. They divorced. She

1037
00:54:05.300 --> 00:54:07.030
went back and married that first guy all over again

1038
00:54:07.050 --> 00:54:10.489
in 2011. Do you kind of get the point that

1039
00:54:10.510 --> 00:54:13.110
maybe that first guy didn't like how Marie was under pregnancy?

1040
00:54:13.170 --> 00:54:14.969
So he said, Hey, get that out of your system

1041
00:54:15.050 --> 00:54:15.809
and I'll take you back.

1042
00:54:17.730 --> 00:54:20.690
I don't know. It's like an old disco song, second

1043
00:54:20.730 --> 00:54:23.050
time around or something. Wasn't it, you know, back in

1044
00:54:23.090 --> 00:54:25.269
the day kind of reminds me of that, you know?

1045
00:54:48.090 --> 00:54:51.570
Joey Belladonna. He sings lead for the thrash metal band Anthrax.

1046
00:54:52.110 --> 00:54:54.940
Joey was born in Oswego, New York. He's 66 today.

1047
00:54:55.079 --> 00:54:58.719
He joined Anthrax in 1985. They've sold over 20 million albums,

1048
00:54:58.739 --> 00:55:01.750
which is huge for thrash metal. And Thrax, he's best

1049
00:55:01.809 --> 00:55:04.510
known for playing live. Yeah, they're really famous for their

1050
00:55:04.530 --> 00:55:06.929
live shows. But Joey, he just loves music, man. He

1051
00:55:06.949 --> 00:55:09.989
just loves it. He loves music. He's in two cover bands.

1052
00:55:10.369 --> 00:55:12.610
One of the cover bands that Thrash Metal guy is in, yeah,

1053
00:55:12.630 --> 00:55:17.170
it's for Journey. Now, get this. This isn't about Joey.

1054
00:55:17.469 --> 00:55:24.139
But the experts, they've done the IQs. And wouldn't you

1055
00:55:24.179 --> 00:55:27.320
imagine the highest IQs are like classical music and that

1056
00:55:27.360 --> 00:55:30.269
kind of stuff? They have the same IQ as people

1057
00:55:30.289 --> 00:55:34.909
who are in heavy metal and thrash metal. Is that surprising?

1058
00:55:36.429 --> 00:55:38.349
Well, I do know about something to do with music

1059
00:55:38.369 --> 00:55:41.300
and IQs. They said in the band, the highest IQ

1060
00:55:41.489 --> 00:55:43.380
in any band is normally the drummer. I've been playing

1061
00:55:43.400 --> 00:55:46.679
drums since I'm three years old also. So the hypnosis

1062
00:55:46.699 --> 00:55:49.739
started at three and there's a eight millimeter film my

1063
00:55:49.780 --> 00:55:52.000
father had, which has been converted to video. And I

1064
00:55:52.059 --> 00:55:55.800
have it privately on my YouTube page. with me playing

1065
00:55:55.840 --> 00:55:58.000
drums under the Christmas tree. No sound. I really wish

1066
00:55:58.039 --> 00:56:00.219
I had known what that beat was. I was playing

1067
00:56:00.260 --> 00:56:03.519
back then, but no sound. But there I am under

1068
00:56:03.539 --> 00:56:06.760
the Christmas tree playing drums. So somewhere towards late grammar

1069
00:56:06.780 --> 00:56:09.280
school years, my parents thought, how about a guitar instead

1070
00:56:09.300 --> 00:56:12.440
of him beating on things constantly? And when I got

1071
00:56:12.460 --> 00:56:14.199
into high school, it was like they put you in

1072
00:56:14.239 --> 00:56:20.389
this band, this music class. And first he gave me

1073
00:56:20.409 --> 00:56:21.690
a trumpet, and my mother said, I don't want you

1074
00:56:21.710 --> 00:56:24.150
playing the trumpet. You'll have a bump on your lip.

1075
00:56:25.130 --> 00:56:26.670
So I went back to the music teacher and said,

1076
00:56:26.690 --> 00:56:28.150
what do you want to do? I said, how about drums?

1077
00:56:28.369 --> 00:56:31.630
Because there was no guitar. He said, fine, here's the drumsticks.

1078
00:56:31.670 --> 00:56:33.289
I haven't looked back. So I played drums, too.

1079
00:56:35.590 --> 00:56:38.880
And you said you still do once in a while?

1080
00:56:40.780 --> 00:56:42.099
I still play drums once in a while, but I'm

1081
00:56:42.219 --> 00:56:45.099
constantly tapping on stuff. And in my show, if I

1082
00:56:45.139 --> 00:56:47.099
have them playing Rockstar, which is one of the bits

1083
00:56:47.119 --> 00:56:50.570
that I do, I have drumsticks on stage with me,

1084
00:56:50.570 --> 00:56:52.889
and I'm rapping on the drumsticks constantly. on what we

1085
00:56:52.909 --> 00:56:54.550
call a prop table. There's not too many props in

1086
00:56:54.570 --> 00:56:57.170
there normally. It's normally like a sippy cup of water.

1087
00:56:57.949 --> 00:57:00.679
And I'm wailing away and, you know, between the music

1088
00:57:00.969 --> 00:57:04.139
and me playing the drums, they really get into it. Occasionally,

1089
00:57:04.159 --> 00:57:07.000
I've been lucky enough in a stage show, at a school,

1090
00:57:07.039 --> 00:57:09.380
for example, you know, the night before, they've had something

1091
00:57:09.420 --> 00:57:10.880
there and they leave a full drum kit up on

1092
00:57:10.900 --> 00:57:13.340
the stage. I'm like, I kind of threw you playing

1093
00:57:13.360 --> 00:57:16.409
drums and I always keep drumsticks in my bag. And

1094
00:57:16.449 --> 00:57:17.789
I sit down at the drum kit and I'll have

1095
00:57:17.849 --> 00:57:19.650
a female assistant on stage and we'll keep an eye

1096
00:57:19.710 --> 00:57:22.130
on them. And the kind of three play drums. One, two,

1097
00:57:22.139 --> 00:57:25.039
and I start wailing. I'm playing like some kind of

1098
00:57:25.079 --> 00:57:28.019
drum solo, similar to Hot for Teacher or something. And

1099
00:57:28.059 --> 00:57:30.929
they're going nuts playing cymbals and wailing away. And the

1100
00:57:30.969 --> 00:57:33.550
audience is screaming, woo! And it's a giant rock concert

1101
00:57:34.289 --> 00:57:36.369
right in the show, right in the middle. Just thrown

1102
00:57:36.449 --> 00:57:39.869
in there. And kids love it. I love it.

1103
00:57:39.869 --> 00:57:41.829
Do you remember actress Kelly Preston?

1104
00:57:42.750 --> 00:57:42.909
Yeah.

1105
00:57:42.949 --> 00:57:45.010
She was born in Honolulu in 1962. Now, she first

1106
00:57:45.050 --> 00:57:49.849
got known for the movie Secret Admire, then Space Camp, Twins.

1107
00:57:50.289 --> 00:57:52.670
What a Girl Wants. She did marry a guy for

1108
00:57:52.710 --> 00:57:55.710
two years. Then she got engaged to Charlie Sheen. But

1109
00:57:55.769 --> 00:57:58.389
when Charlie got her shot in the arm, she called

1110
00:57:58.409 --> 00:58:02.250
that man a joff. And she married John Travolta in 1991.

1111
00:58:02.250 --> 00:58:05.159
They had two sons and one daughter. She died in 2020,

1112
00:58:05.159 --> 00:58:08.599
a 57-year-old from breast cancer. You hear the story about

1113
00:58:08.619 --> 00:58:09.179
her and Charlie?

1114
00:58:11.059 --> 00:58:11.280
No.

1115
00:58:12.619 --> 00:58:15.019
Well, they were engaged. And apparently Charlie decided to just

1116
00:58:15.039 --> 00:58:19.880
take his pants off in the bathroom. And he had left...

1117
00:58:20.980 --> 00:58:24.320
loaded handgun in his pocket. She went, she went and

1118
00:58:24.360 --> 00:58:26.659
picked his jeans up and the gun fell out, hit

1119
00:58:26.679 --> 00:58:28.260
the floor, shot the toilet and hit her in the arm.

1120
00:58:28.300 --> 00:58:29.909
And she said, I'm not going up for this for

1121
00:58:29.929 --> 00:58:30.949
the rest of my life. I'm out of here.

1122
00:58:33.170 --> 00:58:33.550
Yeah.

1123
00:58:33.650 --> 00:58:36.210
I've met people who have been involved with celebrities. They

1124
00:58:36.230 --> 00:58:39.710
tell me terrible things that go on with the drugs

1125
00:58:39.929 --> 00:58:43.750
and other things and the drunkenness and whatever it is,

1126
00:58:44.469 --> 00:58:46.909
you know, people say to me, you're coming to do

1127
00:58:46.969 --> 00:58:49.179
a show. And one of the things, If they've had

1128
00:58:49.219 --> 00:58:52.579
bad experiences with hiring other entertainers, I don't drink smoke

1129
00:58:52.659 --> 00:58:54.260
or do drugs. You have nothing to worry about with me.

1130
00:58:54.280 --> 00:58:57.199
I'm a cheap kid. I drink water. Mainly all day,

1131
00:58:57.239 --> 00:58:57.920
all night is water.

1132
00:58:59.179 --> 00:59:02.869
Can people be hypnotized if they're drunk?

1133
00:59:04.630 --> 00:59:09.090
Yeah, they can be, but they're sloppy responders It's never

1134
00:59:09.130 --> 00:59:11.239
happened to me, but the old timers that I train

1135
00:59:11.280 --> 00:59:14.239
with who are now deceased would say to me, if

1136
00:59:14.320 --> 00:59:16.719
they have a full bladder and their body relaxes, so

1137
00:59:16.780 --> 00:59:18.780
too may their bladder while the show is going on.

1138
00:59:20.239 --> 00:59:26.039
While that hasn't happened to me, mercifully, I have had people,

1139
00:59:26.079 --> 00:59:28.679
especially high school shows, You get a young lady raising

1140
00:59:28.719 --> 00:59:32.909
her hand, fully hypnotized. May I go to the ladies' room?

1141
00:59:32.989 --> 00:59:34.750
I'm like, go ahead, come back, and I'll put you

1142
00:59:34.769 --> 00:59:37.610
back out again. So they go and they use the bathroom.

1143
00:59:37.630 --> 00:59:39.170
They come back up on stage. Out they go, and

1144
00:59:39.210 --> 00:59:40.090
back in the show they are.

1145
00:59:41.849 --> 00:59:44.789
That's very interesting. That's pretty cool.

1146
00:59:44.809 --> 00:59:47.239
I did a show years ago for Georgetown University. I

1147
00:59:47.659 --> 00:59:50.800
had 38 chairs, no assistant, and 48 people run up

1148
00:59:50.880 --> 00:59:54.260
on stage for their freshman orientation. And I was like,

1149
00:59:54.280 --> 00:59:57.000
I'm 10 chairs too shy. I can't have all these

1150
00:59:57.019 --> 00:59:59.300
people up here. I need people on the floor. I said,

1151
00:59:59.340 --> 01:00:02.360
we're not leaving. So I call it my Woodstock show.

1152
01:00:02.380 --> 01:00:04.300
Cause I had like these people laying on the dirty floor,

1153
01:00:04.719 --> 01:00:06.679
like Woodstock, they laid on the dirt, you know, you know,

1154
01:00:06.760 --> 01:00:09.820
on that console. And as people had to go to

1155
01:00:09.840 --> 01:00:11.360
the bathroom, I threw them out of the show and

1156
01:00:11.380 --> 01:00:12.840
I just picked up the people on the floor and

1157
01:00:12.860 --> 01:00:14.719
put them in the chairs. And by the end I

1158
01:00:14.739 --> 01:00:16.940
had 38 and I was happy. And the show was

1159
01:00:16.960 --> 01:00:17.159
a hit.

1160
01:00:18.059 --> 01:00:22.559
Well, cool deal. Actress, Tricia Campbell's 58. She was born

1161
01:00:22.579 --> 01:00:25.039
in Oklahoma city. She grew up in New York, New

1162
01:00:25.099 --> 01:00:28.980
New York, New Jersey. Our first movie was Little Shop

1163
01:00:29.019 --> 01:00:32.449
of Horrors, then School Days, another 48 Hours, the House

1164
01:00:32.489 --> 01:00:35.610
Party movies. On TV, she starred on Martin and My

1165
01:00:35.650 --> 01:00:38.550
Life with Kids. She was married for over 20 years

1166
01:00:38.610 --> 01:00:40.750
when they divorced, and they had two sons. Who do

1167
01:00:40.769 --> 01:00:42.829
you think was funnier back in the day on stand-up,

1168
01:00:43.050 --> 01:00:44.489
Martin Lawrence or Damon Wayans?

1169
01:00:47.929 --> 01:00:49.699
That's a hard nut to crack. I like both of them.

1170
01:00:52.179 --> 01:00:52.679
What do you think?

1171
01:00:54.340 --> 01:00:59.170
I'm thinking Damon, um, Just for, I don't know, Martin

1172
01:00:59.190 --> 01:01:00.710
was pretty damn funny too. I don't know, they were

1173
01:01:00.750 --> 01:01:03.010
both pretty good. It's pretty hard. I think maybe Damon,

1174
01:01:03.050 --> 01:01:06.590
just because I kind of like his work after his

1175
01:01:06.630 --> 01:01:08.840
TV show and movies a little better than Martin.

1176
01:01:10.659 --> 01:01:14.139
I think Damon Wayans also helped Eddie Murphy in the

1177
01:01:14.179 --> 01:01:17.659
writing of Delirious and Raw. I believe he had a

1178
01:01:17.699 --> 01:01:20.239
credit like as one of the writers in that. And

1179
01:01:20.400 --> 01:01:22.860
that's really, you know, not politically correct, but it is

1180
01:01:22.920 --> 01:01:26.300
classic comedy. Those two standups that Eddie Murphy did years ago.

1181
01:01:26.900 --> 01:01:29.300
Back in the day, I was there for the second

1182
01:01:31.659 --> 01:01:34.440
thing that he recorded, which was raw. They had Panavision

1183
01:01:34.460 --> 01:01:38.179
cameras in the audience in the Meadowlands in New Jersey.

1184
01:01:38.719 --> 01:01:40.289
And then he was leaving there to go to Manhattan.

1185
01:01:40.349 --> 01:01:42.190
So most of it, they claim, was shot in Manhattan.

1186
01:01:42.230 --> 01:01:44.809
But I was there when they were filming in Panavision.

1187
01:01:45.869 --> 01:01:48.110
And because it says it right on the camera on

1188
01:01:48.150 --> 01:01:50.530
the top, like pushing that branding, you know?

1189
01:01:50.550 --> 01:01:51.050
Right.

1190
01:01:51.489 --> 01:01:55.909
And hilarious. Unforgettably hilarious. Eddie Murphy. Cool.

1191
01:01:57.719 --> 01:02:03.179
Well, with Van Halen and the Stones.

1192
01:02:04.239 --> 01:02:07.000
Being your favorite.

1193
01:02:06.440 --> 01:02:11.960
Bands, you probably don't know Rhett.

1194
01:02:11.820 --> 01:02:14.030
Atkins, I'm assuming.

1195
01:02:26.239 --> 01:02:27.280
The country singer.

1196
01:02:27.440 --> 01:02:30.079
I heard the name. I don't know anything about it.

1197
01:02:30.539 --> 01:02:33.880
He was born in Valdosta, Georgia. He's 57. Now, he

1198
01:02:33.920 --> 01:02:36.260
hit really big in the 90s. He had some of

1199
01:02:36.280 --> 01:02:38.969
the big hits like, That Ain't My Truck, She Said Yes,

1200
01:02:39.030 --> 01:02:41.769
Don't Get Me Started, I Break for Brunettes. Now, he

1201
01:02:41.809 --> 01:02:43.329
still sings and all that kind of stuff, but he

1202
01:02:43.429 --> 01:02:46.789
is the number one country songwriter out there in Nashville.

1203
01:02:47.570 --> 01:02:50.510
In this century, he has written 34 number one songs

1204
01:02:50.530 --> 01:02:53.630
for other artists. All big names. Now, he had a

1205
01:02:53.670 --> 01:02:56.019
son and a daughter from his first wife. His son

1206
01:02:56.239 --> 01:02:59.440
is country singer Thomas Rhett, who's just as big as

1207
01:02:59.960 --> 01:03:02.960
his dad was. He married his second wife in 2017,

1208
01:03:02.960 --> 01:03:07.199
and they have a son. Actor Sacha Baron Cohen, he's 55.

1209
01:03:07.199 --> 01:03:10.949
He was born in London, England. He first got known

1210
01:03:10.969 --> 01:03:13.110
for playing Borat, and then he voiced Julian in the

1211
01:03:13.150 --> 01:03:17.449
Madagascar movies. Also in Talladega Nights and The Dictator. He

1212
01:03:17.489 --> 01:03:20.670
married actress Izola Fisher in 2010, and they divorced in 2024,

1213
01:03:20.670 --> 01:03:24.880
and they have two daughters together and one son. I

1214
01:03:24.920 --> 01:03:27.280
wonder how that works out because Izola converted to Judaism

1215
01:03:27.320 --> 01:03:29.599
for the wedding. I think she stays with it.

1216
01:03:34.650 --> 01:03:38.090
It's amazing because when people see the character that some

1217
01:03:38.210 --> 01:03:41.909
actor or somebody plays as a comedian or whatever role

1218
01:03:41.949 --> 01:03:43.199
they're in, you kind of think that's who they are

1219
01:03:43.239 --> 01:03:45.840
as a person. But I know what I'm working on

1220
01:03:45.900 --> 01:03:48.780
stage in front of an audience, I'm not in that

1221
01:03:50.639 --> 01:03:54.440
performer mode 24 hours a day. Maybe 23 hours a day.

1222
01:03:54.539 --> 01:03:54.940
I don't know.

1223
01:03:55.000 --> 01:04:01.300
Certain days. But, you know, because they're wacky on stage

1224
01:04:01.320 --> 01:04:04.820
doesn't necessarily mean they're wacky, you know, when they're having

1225
01:04:04.889 --> 01:04:07.909
dinner with their spouse. But sometimes it kind of makes

1226
01:04:07.949 --> 01:04:09.429
me wonder, like, if you go back in history to

1227
01:04:09.449 --> 01:04:13.710
the Three Stooges, like, I think Curly has, like, five wives, possibly,

1228
01:04:13.769 --> 01:04:15.750
over the course of his life. And it kind of

1229
01:04:15.769 --> 01:04:18.130
makes you wonder, like, how anybody, some woman can marry

1230
01:04:18.150 --> 01:04:21.719
a guy like him and I cannot be like zany,

1231
01:04:21.760 --> 01:04:24.469
like he was on camera at various points throughout the day.

1232
01:04:24.489 --> 01:04:25.789
And like what it took to put up with that,

1233
01:04:25.849 --> 01:04:26.530
you know? Right.

1234
01:04:28.989 --> 01:04:32.909
Baby, I don't know why you're treating me so bad.

1235
01:04:32.989 --> 01:04:36.110
You said you love me, no one above me.

1236
01:04:36.150 --> 01:04:37.420
And I was all you had.

1237
01:04:38.530 --> 01:04:41.639
And all my heart is eating for you.

1238
01:04:41.889 --> 01:04:43.599
I can't stop crying.

1239
01:04:43.719 --> 01:04:46.780
I don't know how I allow you.

1240
01:04:46.619 --> 01:04:49.619
To treat me this way. And still I stay.

1241
01:04:50.670 --> 01:04:53.369
She's so big, she just goes by Ashante. She's 46.

1242
01:04:53.369 --> 01:04:56.469
She was born in Glen Cove, New York. Foolish, rock

1243
01:04:56.489 --> 01:04:59.690
with you, rain on me, always on time. That was

1244
01:04:59.730 --> 01:05:02.510
with Ja Rule. That's one of her biggest hits. Now,

1245
01:05:02.610 --> 01:05:06.110
she dated Nelly for 11 years. They broke up in 2014,

1246
01:05:06.110 --> 01:05:09.090
got back together in 2023. Now they're married and have

1247
01:05:09.110 --> 01:05:13.260
a son. Okay, now what's the best way? We'll put

1248
01:05:13.320 --> 01:05:16.059
links and stuff for you. How can people come see

1249
01:05:16.079 --> 01:05:18.519
you or follow you and all that good stuff?

1250
01:05:19.659 --> 01:05:20.400
Or get me hired.

1251
01:05:20.420 --> 01:05:21.519
Yeah, exactly.

1252
01:05:21.699 --> 01:05:28.150
You can go to my master website, which is hypnosisstageshow.com.

1253
01:05:28.769 --> 01:05:34.949
That's hypnosisstageshow.com. One word. And it links into my clinical

1254
01:05:34.989 --> 01:05:40.650
site as well, which is hypnotistpro.com. And there's just so

1255
01:05:40.690 --> 01:05:43.730
much stuff on there. From my store with the MP3s

1256
01:05:44.409 --> 01:05:45.769
to ways to reach me if you need to get

1257
01:05:45.789 --> 01:05:46.989
a hold of me or would like to have me

1258
01:05:47.030 --> 01:05:49.679
work and do some stuff for you. From my view,

1259
01:05:50.000 --> 01:05:54.000
I have basically reinvented how stage hypnosis shows take place

1260
01:05:54.679 --> 01:05:56.909
because I'm working on that rock star vibe in my

1261
01:05:56.969 --> 01:06:00.130
head that you go out there bigger and mightier than

1262
01:06:00.170 --> 01:06:03.530
the audience and rip it up. And that's where I'm

1263
01:06:03.550 --> 01:06:06.110
coming from. So if you're interested in anything you've heard

1264
01:06:06.150 --> 01:06:09.030
me say or anything I've done on this podcast or

1265
01:06:09.050 --> 01:06:12.789
anywhere else, just reach out to me on hypnosis, stage show.com.

1266
01:06:13.659 --> 01:06:13.800
Okay.

1267
01:06:13.840 --> 01:06:15.639
That's for the entertainment. What if they want to like,

1268
01:06:17.030 --> 01:06:18.710
Do you do like one-on-one coaching if they want to

1269
01:06:18.949 --> 01:06:20.389
get you to make them quit smoking?

1270
01:06:22.190 --> 01:06:25.130
Yeah, that's it. It's pro.com. That's my clinical site. And

1271
01:06:25.210 --> 01:06:28.230
they're connected. There's a link from one to the other

1272
01:06:28.269 --> 01:06:31.960
and vice versa. And there's ways to reach me. So

1273
01:06:31.980 --> 01:06:34.039
just go on there and listen. Don't look for me

1274
01:06:34.079 --> 01:06:35.699
on the internet, whatever you do. You'll never find me

1275
01:06:35.760 --> 01:06:43.159
on that. I'm everywhere. Facebook, X, LinkedIn. And apparently you

1276
01:06:43.179 --> 01:06:45.400
have to post things to your Google profile. I've been

1277
01:06:45.420 --> 01:06:49.380
doing that. I got all kinds of YouTube videos, although

1278
01:06:50.000 --> 01:06:51.480
some of the stuff I'm putting up lately, I've left

1279
01:06:51.539 --> 01:06:54.880
it on private because it's for people I'm sending things to. But,

1280
01:06:55.559 --> 01:06:58.619
you know, agents, different things like that. But yeah, I'm

1281
01:06:58.659 --> 01:07:01.340
all over the place. There's like 800 or something videos,

1282
01:07:01.420 --> 01:07:04.110
I think, on YouTube to look at. People are like,

1283
01:07:04.139 --> 01:07:06.030
why aren't you posting anything new? How about you look

1284
01:07:06.050 --> 01:07:07.610
at the first 800 first and I'll see what I

1285
01:07:07.619 --> 01:07:08.909
can come up with after that, you know?

1286
01:07:09.869 --> 01:07:13.030
Exactly. It's like, I'll just look at the first 100,

1287
01:07:13.030 --> 01:07:15.860
then I'll post something new. Oh, right, man. It's been

1288
01:07:15.880 --> 01:07:16.159
really fun.

1289
01:07:16.179 --> 01:07:17.920
I'm the one who looks at your YouTube. I'm like, thanks.

1290
01:07:17.940 --> 01:07:19.960
You're the one who watched me. I appreciate that. Thank you.

1291
01:07:20.760 --> 01:07:22.739
Man, you've been really fun to talk to. I'm glad.

1292
01:07:22.800 --> 01:07:24.949
And we learned a lot, too. You've been an awesome

1293
01:07:25.210 --> 01:07:25.849
co-host with me.

1294
01:07:26.969 --> 01:07:28.489
This was a trip. I really appreciate it. I had

1295
01:07:28.530 --> 01:07:30.849
a great time with you as well. This was easy.

1296
01:07:30.869 --> 01:07:32.409
I can't believe the time flew by this quick.

1297
01:07:32.610 --> 01:07:32.949
I know.

1298
01:07:32.969 --> 01:07:36.219
Our quote of the day comes from the chocolate man,

1299
01:07:36.260 --> 01:07:39.260
Milton Hershey. He died today in 1945. He was 88

1300
01:07:39.260 --> 01:07:43.420
years old. Milton said, be honest, train yourself for useful work,

1301
01:07:43.460 --> 01:07:47.869
and love God. Well, thank you all for listening. Now,

1302
01:07:47.929 --> 01:07:50.719
our Country Underground Radio Artist of the Day comes from

1303
01:07:50.780 --> 01:07:53.820
Tim up in North Dakota. So, sorry, John, you're going

1304
01:07:53.840 --> 01:07:57.619
to have to hear a country song as we fade out.

1305
01:07:57.840 --> 01:08:00.159
It's Brad Howard's song, I'll Let the Bottle Kill Me.

1306
01:08:00.679 --> 01:08:02.550
You guys have an awesome day, and we'll talk tomorrow.

1307
01:08:04.289 --> 01:08:09.969
As I drink this shot of whiskey I feel it burning,

1308
01:08:09.989 --> 01:08:13.309
going down.

1309
01:08:15.489 --> 01:08:22.109
Girl, I'd rather feel that burn Than let your memory

1310
01:08:22.180 --> 01:08:31.359
come around.

1311
01:08:27.420 --> 01:08:33.119
Cause it takes me back to yesterday When we were

1312
01:08:33.239 --> 01:08:45.609
so deep in love.

1313
01:08:40.430 --> 01:08:48.460
So I'll let the bottle kill me Before your memory does.

1314
01:08:49.000 --> 01:08:55.029
I'll let the fire kill me.

1315
01:08:55.670 --> 01:08:59.949
Even though I need to stop. I'll drain the cave.

1316
01:09:00.260 --> 01:09:07.119
Thinking that we're through girl don't feel sorry for me

1317
01:09:07.619 --> 01:09:11.569
it's the only thing i've got to help me.

1318
01:09:11.510 --> 01:09:24.039
With It's 1 a.m.

1319
01:09:24.100 --> 01:09:35.449
And I'm still here shooting doubles and one more. Knowing

1320
01:09:35.489 --> 01:09:42.489
that tomorrow I'll end up crawling across the floor.

1321
01:09:46.619 --> 01:09:48.819
I know I need.

1322
01:09:48.300 --> 01:09:52.920
To sober up And get this poison from my

1323
01:09:52.939 --> 01:10:03.170
Blood But I'll let the bottle kill me Before your

1324
01:10:03.270 --> 01:10:06.899
memory does
