70.147 - 73.493 Unknown

Can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car?

73.693 - 77.78 Jose

When you look at your car, you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings.

77.881 - 99.163 Unknown

Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you? I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused. Can you get someone to join your cult? NLP was used on me to access my subconscious. Mind Games, a new podcast exploring NLP, a.k.a. Neurolinguistic Programming. Is it a self-help miracle, a shady hypnosis scam, or both?

99.484 - 113.092 Unknown

Listen to Mind Games on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 1969, Malcolm and Martin are gone. America is in crisis. At a Morehouse College, the students make their move.

113.332 - 129.109 Jose

These students, including a young Samuel L. Jackson, locked up the members of the Board of Trustees, including Martin Luther King Sr. It's the true story of protest and rebellion in Black American history that you'll never forget. I'm Hans Charles. I'm Menelik Lumumba.

Chapter 2: How did the listener react to the name change proposal?

626.951 - 654.686 Jeff

Thursday. Phone call. Tina Fey, Brad Pitt, Rihanna. Wow. All people who decided to publicly go by their middle names. And look where they are now. That's a good point. Washed up has-beens who will do anything desperately trying to stay in the spotlight. Rihanna's like a billionaire. Yeah. Yeah, literally. Self-made. Only a billionaire. Yikes. Sad story.

0

654.706 - 666.208 Jeff

And I think we learned from all those examples that going with the middle is a terrible idea. And our listener Erin wants to make sure her boyfriend doesn't end up as the next Brad Pitt.

0

666.689 - 668.952 Unknown

Oh. That sounds so weird.

0

668.992 - 689.199 Jeff

Doesn't want it because his name's Paul. But he wants to start going by his middle name, Aaron. Which, yes, is the exact same as his girlfriend, just slightly different spelling. And our listener, Aaron, doesn't want that to happen. Because it's strange. Yeah. And luckily he hasn't done it officially yet. But I do want to just get a little clarification.

0

689.78 - 716.232 Jeff

Aaron, is he legally wanting to change his name to Aaron Aaron or what? Oh, yeah. Okay, no. So he basically, he just wants to swap his first and middle name legally. Okay. So instead of being Paul Aaron. He wants to be Aaron Paul. Like the guy from Breaking Bad. Yeah. Right. Yeah. His career has not gone well since the end of Breaking Bad. If his last name is Heisenberg, he missed the window.

716.252 - 729.128 Jeff

Exactly. So again, Aaron needs advice on how to stop her boyfriend from changing his name. Jose, what do you have for her? A person's name is a big thing, right? It's not their identity, but it can be your personality. Oh, for sure. I feel Brooke.

729.148 - 730.369 Unknown

Yes, exactly.

730.389 - 734.353 Jeff

Like, in my soul. So just tell him, like, things are going so good right now.

Chapter 3: What awkward questions arise in new relationships?

734.513 - 762.809 Jeff

If you change major things like this, you're worried it's going to hurt the relationship. Oh, okay. It's going to affect him. Okay, that's good. Threaten him with a bad future. Brooke, what's your advice? Okay, well, I'm all about, you know me, compromise in a relationship. Wow, that is Brooke to a T. So, Aaron, how would you feel about just calling him Aaron in private? Oh, like a dirty secret.

0

762.829 - 776.184 Jeff

Kind of, yeah. Like proposing, like, listen, honey, you just keep Paul and then I'll call you Aaron and that can be our thing. Because it's weird to tell your friends and family. That's the weird part.

0

776.204 - 776.364 Unknown

Exactly.

0

776.724 - 791.366 Jeff

By the way he's been talking about it, I honestly doubt that he'll go for that. I think he wants it to be, like, universal. But I'll definitely pitch it. Okay. Well, okay. I mean, I would just be careful because if you don't start calling him Aaron in private, one of his coworkers might.

0

792.107 - 794.17 Unknown

Uh-oh. You know what that means.

794.19 - 797.956 Jeff

And you're into a whole new area of weirdness. We have the advice out there for you.

Chapter 4: What is the listener's main concern about the name change?

798.216 - 836.204 Jeff

You can use it if you like to, but it's really up to you. I'm going to dial Paul, at least for now, your boyfriend, and we'll see if he picks up. Here we go. Hello? Hi, Paul. Yeah, I'm sorry. I think you got the wrong number. This is Aaron. Okay. Yeah, it's me, Aaron. Hey. Oh, hey, babe. How's it going? Hey. So, you know how I was going to come over after work tonight?

0

836.324 - 841.713 Jeff

I don't... I don't think I should come by anymore, actually. Oh.

0

844.438 - 845.359 Jose

Why not, sugar bear?

0

847.844 - 862.167 Jeff

Uh... To be honest, I feel like things have really been going well in our relationship recently, but lately I've just been kind of frustrated, and I don't know how to talk to you about it exactly.

0

863.008 - 876.227 Jose

Oh, I mean, I think it's going well, too. Look, whatever's on your mind, you can tell me, because... I'm your sugar bear, all right? I'll listen to you. Aaron to Aaron, I'm here. I'm here for you.

876.287 - 881.314 Jeff

Okay, that right there, that is what is not sitting well with me.

881.955 - 884.379 Jose

Wait, what's not sitting? Me being here for you?

885.721 - 890.207 Jeff

No, no, just you using my name as your name.

890.828 - 904.278 Unknown

Okay, well, first of all, it's not the same name because you're Aaron with an E, and I'm Aaron with an A, with two A's, and technically I'm older than you, though I actually had the name first, and if anyone should be changed the name, it's probably you.
