What if mind control is real? If you could control the behavior of anybody around you, what kind of life would you have? Can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car? When you look at your car, you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings. 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? Listen to Mind Games on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is Dr. Jesse Mills, host of the Mailroom Podcast.
Each January, men promise to get stronger, work harder, and fix what's broken. But what if the real work isn't physical at all? I sat down with psychologist Dr. Steve Poulter to unpack shame, anxiety, and the emotional pain men were never taught how to name.
Part of the way through the valley of despair is realizing this has happened, and you have to make a choice whether you're going to stay in it or move forward. Our two-part conversation is available now. Listen to The Mailroom on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows.
A new year doesn't ask us to become someone new. It invites us back home to ourselves. I'm Mike Della Rocha, host of Sacred Lessons, a space for men to pause, reflect, and heal. This year we're talking honestly about mental health, relationships, and the patterns we're ready to release.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of military school for kids?
I just had so many flashbacks. But she killed it. This movie was hers top to bottom.
100% agree with you. I had obviously heard of this movie because Christy's a friend. I'd worked with her. We've talked about it. So everybody needs to hide their favorite blanket from home because it's time for the synopsis. A fashion-obsessed teen is forced to attend a strict military academy where her free-spirited attitude clashes with rigid discipline.
But as she struggles to fit in, she finds confidence, friendship, and a new sense of purpose. So you liked it. This is early thoughts. You did.
Yes, I it was an easy watch for me. It was I think, honestly, I'm one of those fans out there that listens to our podcast and I don't care about the flaws of this movie. It's nostalgia all the way. I know. And it's not that I don't see him. It's not that I don't. You just don't care. I just don't care. I literally just this movie was.
And of course, even like watching the movement, I cringed at watching some of the movement. I know you're going to ask me that later. We'll get into it later. But even that still I did back then and I still just didn't care. Like I love I love them as a duo. They were on the two biggest shows of the channel at that time to see them together. I was like in all in and I was again watching it.
Yeah. Christy was great. She was. Christie was great. And Gary Cole, you can never go wrong with Gary Cole. He's one of my favorite actors ever. He's awesome in this role. So yeah, I mean, there was a lot of very, the woman who played the mom, we'll get into that. A lot of the cast, very good. Some of the story, no sense at all. Yes. But anyway.
That I didn't remember.
Yeah. Cadet Kelly was directed by Larry Shaw. He is a veteran TV director with credits on 21 Jump Street. Great show. Parker Lewis Can't Lose, another great show and an important TV show for this movie, Disney Channel's Lizzie McGuire. He was also an executive producer and director of the smash hit Desperate Housewives. And the movie stars a Disney Channel homegrown superstar, Hilary Duff.
She plays Cadet Kelly, and her big break was the show Lizzie McGuire, a juggernaut for the studio that would eventually become its own DCOM, a movie we already recapped where I was like, oh, so the whole show is about her being a pop star. And you're like, nope, never sang a note before the movie. Okay, great.

Chapter 3: How does Cadet Kelly's character develop throughout the movie?
Okay, cool. And then we've got my pal and former Magical Rewind guest, Christy Carlson Romano as Jennifer. At the time, Christy was a Disney Channel star on the show Even Stevens, another sitcom that morphed into a DCOM. She also voiced Kim Possible, Kim, on Disney alongside myself and some other people, I guess. Christie is returning to a Disney adjacent project in production right now.
It is the first ever Hallmark Disney collaboration holiday ever after a Disney wish come true. And it's nice to know that I was snubbed by both Disney and Hallmark at the same time. It is currently filming at the park in Florida and starring Lacey Chabert. And this will be fun. And we have already committed to recapping it.
Oh, for sure.
Definitely. Linda Cash plays Samantha. That's Kelly's mom. We know her from the DCOM Full Court Miracle, a movie we recapped. Cash is also part of Christopher Guest's acting company, appearing in Best in Show and Waiting for Guffman. She's awesome. Canadian local Andrea Lewis plays Carl's. This is her first Disney DCOM.
She is most recognizable for her time on the TV series Degrassi, The Next Generation, which I think is the only show they actually make in Canada. Every Canadian has been on some version of Degrassi. And then Amy Garcia is Sergeant Gloria. She's been on a lot of TV shows, including George Lopez and Dexter, but is known as the star of Lucifer.
And though I don't think we can officially put him in the Dabney Reynolds chair, but I think we can. We have Gary Cole, credited as Sir. Cole is a premier character actor, best known as the smug boss Bill Lumberg in the cult hit Office Space. Yeah, that's not going to work for me. and Mike Brady in the hilariously Brady movies of the 90s, which were so much better than they had any right to be.
But you've also seen him in Talladega Nights. Okay, just listen to this list.
Yes, please. This list is just like... It's crazy.
Awesome. And this isn't the whole... This is just some. I'm sure. Talladega Nights, Dodgeball, Veep, Entourage, Pineapple Express, and Win a Date with Tad Hamilton. If that's not enough, he's also a prominent voice actor and another star of Kim Possible. He voiced Dr. James Timothy Possible, but could also be heard on Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, Scooby-Doo, and the movie Hop, just to name a few.

Chapter 4: What are the key themes in Cadet Kelly's story?
Fans say it's like finally getting a user manual for your brain. It's about engineering consciousness. Mind Games is the story of NLP, its crazy cast of disciples, and the fake doctor who invented it at a New Age commune and sold it to guys in suits. He stood trial for murder and got acquitted. The biggest mind game of all? NLP might actually work. This is wild.
Listen to Mind Games on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey there, this is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the Men's Clinic at UCLA Health and host of the Mailroom podcast. Each January, guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix what's broken. But what if the real work isn't physical at all?
To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Poulter, a psychologist with over 30 years experience helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught to name. In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others.
Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy and compassion. Bye. Bye. Bye. Hey, what's up, y'all? This is Questlove. Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with A$AP Rocky ahead of his album release, Don't Be Dumb.
He reflects on his journey from his Harlem roots to global icon status, discovering the hip-hop origin of his name. The ledge was on the TV. Rakim had the bucket hat Kangol joint on. My pops was like, that's Rakim. That's who you named after. I just was like, damn, that got swag. Rocky offers a window into not only
A boundary-breaking artist, but as a man committed to fusing creative ideas, community, and remaining unapologetically himself. Have you ever gotten roasted for any of your outfits? For sure. Some people don't be getting the vision. Look, they can roast me, they can cook me, they can deep fry me, they can saute, whatever they want.
There's nobody who can f*** with my fashion sense and my taste is impeccable. I'm just like, I impress myself a lot. It's an amazing conversation, one you definitely don't want to miss. So listen to The Questlove Show on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
And now it's time for a cinematic obstacle course. We're recapping Cadet Kelly. We start off in the busy streets of New York City, landing in the New York Middle School of Arts. And I was like, oh, wow, they're all 20 in middle school. Students are all over the quad. Did you think they looked middle school age? No. Do you think that she looks middle school age? No.
These are clearly high schoolers.

Chapter 5: What responsibilities does Kelly feel in her family dynamics?
I have to keep him in line, keep him organized or whatever it is. Like she has to like maintenance her dad and his life. She's already got that. She has to keep her mom happy with the new life that she's doing. She's got all these things, which I guess is kind of what kids sort of feel like when they're coming of age, like they're taking on these responsibilities.
Some, but I don't know if most 12-year-olds are like, I have to keep my family together and I have to do this and I have to have my new stepdad.
I think a lot of families. I mean, again, you and I couldn't relate because we didn't grow up with any kind of tear within the family household.
But you think it's on the 12 year old kids. They feel like they have to keep the family together.
I think that a lot of kids out there when, when they're like, this is like a, like, it's not like the beginning of the divorce. The divorce has happened.

Chapter 6: How does Kelly's relationship with her stepdad develop?
It's been a while. The parents are co-parenting very well. But this is a change. And when change happens, kids take a lot of that change on to themselves.
You could be 100% right. You're right. You and I don't know what that's like. So it could 100% be that. I don't know. But it just seemed like from a storytelling standpoint.
From a writing point, like where are we going? What is the goal? What's the mission? I need a mission. What's the movie about? I need a captain mission.
Chapter 7: What challenges does Kelly face during cadet court?
What is the movie about? But anyway, so yes.
New year, new goals, and in this economy, a better money plan is more necessary than ever. I am Matt. And I'm Joel. We are from the How to Money podcast, and every week we help you to spend smarter, save more, and make sense of what's going on out there.

Chapter 8: What is the significance of the final competition for Kelly and her team?
Thank you. Thank you. Hey, what's up, y'all? This is Questlove. Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with A$AP Rocky ahead of his album release, Don't Be Dumb. He reflects on his journey from his Harlem roots to global icon status, discovering the hip-hop origin of his name. The ledge was on the TV. Rakim had the bucket hat Kangol joint on. My pops was like, that's Rakim.
That's who you named after. I just was like, damn. Rocky offers a window into not only a boundary-breaking artist, but as a man committed to fusing creative ideas, community, and remaining unapologetically himself.

The next morning, she's woken by the trumpet once again. And though she's at attention for Captain Stone this time, her rainbow blanket is still peeking out of the bed. As punishment, Captain Stone rips it into pieces and you'll be shocked to hear with tears in Kelly's eyes, she calls her a maggot. That night, Kelly can't sleep. She's not going to just let somebody bully her.
So she decides to pull out her paints and sneak into Captain Stone's bedroom. And now the next morning, Captain Stone enters the barracks while the entire back of her head somehow got painted in the middle of the night without waking her up. It's rock hard and everyone's laughing. The captain screams. And it's more, again, like Carrie, if you ask me. We are now back on the obstacle course.
Cadet Kelly is showing some progress. She repels down this time, but unfortunately Captain Stone is waiting for her with court martial papers. She knows Kelly painted her hair and now she's going to pay for it. Back at home, Sir breaks the news to his wife. Kelly will appear in cadet court. The students will decide if she's guilty and then Sir will decide the punishment.
This puts him in a very difficult position. He wanted this job his entire life and he's not just going to lose it by taking it easy on his stepdaughter. Kelly overhears the conversation and cries. Her mom suggests apologizing in court. Kelly reminds her she's never asked to move here and then runs off crying again.
When now we're in cadet court, Stone is listing off infractions to the jury, which is run by hot bread. She exposes the painted hair and Kelly's lawyer, Carla, pulls out that the paint will wash out. And once arguments are done, the jury deliberates before Kelly can even apologize. And within seconds, she's found guilty. And so now she's off to Sir's office for a punishment.
He then sentences her to murder. The drill team. She'll become equipment manager, and this is Cadet Kelly's worst case scenario. She oversees not only the uniforms and the boots, also the rifles starting Monday. I was impressed by the decision. However, it now becomes another movie. Again.
