- Can I be hypnotized to like tomatoes?
- Let's talk about that.
(funky electronic music)
(fire crackles)
Good Mythical Morning.
- True change comes from within
but sometimes realizing that change is like putting
a fitted sheet on your bed.
It's virtually impossible without the help of someone else.
So we decided to hire a hypnotist
to help us change our sheets.
- Figuratively.
If you're not familiar, hypnotherapy is a thing
and we tried it.
I've decided to change the fact that I hate cats,
even though I still think that they're evil,
unaffectionate hairy devils who would eat the meat
off your bones the second you die.
I know that you Mythical Beasts are very tired
of hearing me talk about how much I hate cats.
- Mm-hmm. - I get that.
- And the change I wanted to make was getting over
my hate for tomatoes and our plan was for me
to go first with Stevie there as moral support
instead of Rhett so as not to spoil
the hypnotist's techniques for him
and then Rhett went second with me there with him.
- We did this because the plan was to show my hypnosis now
and then Link's hypnosis on LTAT this Saturday
which is why Stevie was there with him,
but it turns out that Link was way more susceptible
to hypnosis than I was so we switched things around
and neither Link nor I have seen what happened
in his hypnotist session.
- Yeah, I have no memory of what happened at all.
- So we're going to watch-- - Seriously.
- Back this session right now along with you.
It's time for
♪ Linky, Linky, Linky, can't you see ♪
♪ A hypnotist gonna hypnotize you ♪
- So first, let's talk about hypnosis, all right?
It's not in my control.
You're aware of everything I'm saying.
The truth is if you don't wanna be hypnotized,
there's nothing I can do.
This is nothing.
There's no magic power in my hand.
I have no psychic power, this doesn't do anything.
- Should I inspect it more closely?
- [Hypnotist] You can inspect it more closely.
- Okay nothing in there.
Everything makes her uncomfortable when I'm involved.
- That's good.
- Stevie's here to hold my hand.
- I'm more nervous than you are.
- Am I already hypnotized? - No.
You just wanna be-- - I do wanna be.
- So I understand you don't like tomatoes.
- That's right.
- You wanna enjoy 'em, right?
- I think I would like to enjoy tomatoes.
- Okay. - I feel like it's a barrier
in my friendship with Rhett.
- Okay. - He seems to be very annoyed
by me not liking tomatoes. - Does he really?
- And if I can snap my fingers (snaps fingers),
and like tomatoes just to get you off my back,
I would do that.
- You'll be closer to Rhett 'cause you'll love tomatoes.
All right let's switch and so--
- We're switching.
- So here's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna start with just a couple
deep breaths in and out.
Breathe in.
And breathe out, focusing on that exhale.
You're doing great.
Notice maybe your right foot or your left foot
feels a little heavier than the other.
And also notice that right hand is starting to feel
just a little bit lighter.
Imagine now there's 300 balloons tied to that wrist,
feeling lighter and lighter.
Good, and it wants to sit up just like that.
And that right hand is now feeling even lighter,
and as it rises up, it's gonna come towards your cheek
and it's actually gonna wanna make contact with your face.
When that hand rises higher and higher,
you'll enter your peak of suggestibility
into a deep, relaxing, hypnotic sleep.
In fact, your whole arm may wanna just rise up
into the air as your shoulder lifts it.
Maybe it's even suspended from a cable.
As that cable rises, your hand rises,
coming closer and closer towards your head.
And as it rises, it makes contact with your skin.
When it makes contact with your skin you just deep sleep
and relax, you start to let go even more now.
Look at me Link, you can look directly at me,
feeling relaxed, how you feeling?
- Good. - You feel good and relaxed.
See how loose you are.
This shows how well you concentrate.
Now breathe in.
Breathe out and sleep down even deeper than before,
letting it go.
Down five, down four, down three, two, one.
Now sit up in the chair with your eyes closed.
Deeper, deeper.
I'm gonna give you a drink just to kind of refresh you.
It's gonna make you feel so much better.
And when you take a sip,
it's actually gonna be really funny.
Go ahead and just, you can open your eyes
and you can just take a sip and it's gonna be delicious
and really, really funny.
Take a sip, how funny is that juice?
Is that the funniest thing you've ever tasted?
Take another sip, it's even funnier the second time.
That's twice as funny as before.
That is, it's 10 times, no it's ridiculous how funny it is,
and when I touch you it's three times funnier.
Take another sip.
The more you sip, the funnier it is.
It's hysterical.
(both chuckling)
One more sip and it's 10 times funnier than before.
Oh my gosh, it's so good, it's so good. (chuckles)
(Link chuckles)
That's great.
Now sleep down deeper, letting go even more.
Now you're doing such a great job.
So Link I'm gonna give you a suggestion
that is gonna stay with you for the rest of today.
Up until midnight tonight, for the rest of the day,
up until midnight tonight,
any time I say the word red tomato,
you are gonna scream out loud in your highest pitch voice
that I love tomatoes.
Go ahead and give that a try.
Red tomato.
(Link coughs)
- I love tomatoes.
- That's right.
Sleep down now, even better.
Good.
You share that again, did somebody say red tomato?
- I love tomatoes.
- That's awesome, now sleep down.
You're applying so much effort that I think now
you need to nourish your body 'cause you're feeling hungry.
So I'm gonna have you eat the most delicious peach
you've ever had 'cause I understand you like peaches.
Right, nod your head if you love peaches.
This is gonna be the sweetest peach you've ever had
in your life, so go ahead and hold out your hand
and take just an awesome bite of that peach.
You are gonna love every minute of it.
How good is that peach?
- Sweet.
- [Hypnotist] It is super sweet, right?
It is amazingly sweet.
- Sweet. - So sweet.
In fact in a minute I'm gonna try to take it from you
but you're not gonna give it to me.
Can I just, can I borrow that?
No, can I have it?
No.
Well take another bite 'cause it's yours to enjoy.
It's yours to have a great time with, enjoy that peach.
I'm thinking about a red tomato right now.
- I love tomatoes.
- I love tomatoes too.
All right sleep down, close your eyes.
I'll give this back to you later to enjoy it.
That peach has given you magical powers.
The magic powers you have is you can look around the room,
point people out.
You're gonna know exactly what their problem is.
And you're gonna tell 'em exactly how to fix it.
So when you open your eyes, I want you to call people out,
tell 'em what's wrong with them
and tell 'em what they need to do to fix it.
Go ahead and open your eyes
and do some healing with the room.
Start with her, what's going on?
(soft music)
- You know (clears throat).
You don't need makeup.
- [Hypnotist] She doesn't need makeup.
- You need to let your hair grow out.
- So his hair go out, all right.
How 'bout this character over here?
He looks like he needs some help.
- You need to relax. - You need to relax.
This guy with a hat on, he's got some kind of red hat.
What's up with him?
- You need to be sad.
- Okay.
What's up with that?
A pen?
Good job, now sleep, let it go down even deeper.
As you're sitting there,
I want you to focus on your fingers.
'Cause you realized when you ate that peach
that it left a really sweet, sweet flavor on your fingers.
So go ahead and taste them.
See what that tastes like.
How good is that?
How good does that taste?
All right, now close your eyes and sleep back down,
'cause now you are twice as hungry as before,
and when you open your eyes,
you are gonna wanna order yourself a pizza.
It's gonna be a tomato pizza, you want no crust,
you want no cheese, no toppings, so when you open your eyes,
you're gonna look across to this girl sitting
in the chair, you're not gonna recognize her
'cause you have no idea who she is, however,
she is not going to take that order for you,
and you're gonna convince her that she has to make you
an all-tomato pizza, no crust or no cheese.
So go ahead and open your eyes and order that pizza.
- I'll take a tomato pizza.
- Okay, so the crust and tomatoes--
- Tomatoes. - And some cheese and sauce
and then the pano on top.
- I want, I want a tomato, tomato pizza.
Tomato.
- Double the tomato topping?
- No, I want a tomato cheese, no cheese.
- Tomato cheese, no cheese.
- Tomatoes for crust.
- Sorry, I'm having a hard time understanding what you want.
You want the crust-- - The crust--
- [Stevie] To be tomatoes.
- Yeah.
- But it needs to have like the bread part of the pizza
and then you put the tomatoes on top.
- I want like a tomato...
Only tomato pizza.
- Just double tomato topping?
- You told her 10 times already.
- I don't understand.
- I want it all to be tomatoes.
- Ask her what's wrong with you.
- What's wrong with you?
- You're not hearing me. - Are you not hearing me?
- I just, that's not how pizza is made.
- Just make it with all the tomatoes.
- I can't, I can't do it. - Just stack it.
- I can't. - Get even madder now
than before. - Just stack it.
- I can't stack the tomatoes. - Stack the tomatoes!
- Well just telL her. - What do you not understand?
- I wanna help you out here.
Sing to her in your rootin' tootin' cowboy voice
and I think she'll understand cowboy language.
♪ I want a pizza with everything that's tomatoes ♪
- [Hypnotist] Try your opera voice.
♪ Ah ♪
♪ Want a tomato ♪
♪ And I only want the tomato ♪
♪ On the pizza ♪
- Just sleep back down deeper now, good.
We're gonna make a transformation in your mind.
In a moment, I'm gonna count from zero up to five.
And we're gonna take you out of the hypnotic state.
Your mind will remember that you now like tomatoes,
however, your mind will remember nothing else.
You will not remember that you were hypnotized
and until 10 o'clock tonight,
anytime you hear the word red tomato,
you will scream I love tomatoes.
Zero, shutting the door to the subconscious mind.
One, coming back up out of a state of hypnosis.
Two, three, four, five, eyes open,
wide awake, feeling great.
How you feelin'?
Welcome back, take a minute.
Take a minute.
So what do you remember?
(mysterious music)
- I don't remember.
- You don't remember?
- Did we do it?
- Oh we did it.
- Did, we did it.
(laughing)
- Can you imagine you would ever enjoy
eating a tomato?
- No.
- Now your mind's wondering what just happened, isn't it?
- Yeah.
(hypnotist chuckles)
- Good thing we don't have it on tape or anything.
(hypnotist laughs)
(Link laughs)
You did great, man. - What the crap.
- You did great.
- Wow.
Wow, well Link.
This finally came.
- If, I feel just as weird now as I felt then.
Okay. (chuckles)
Oh Stevie, you finally figured it out, huh?
- Yeah, it's stacked.
It's tomatoes stacked on each other.
What don't you understand about that?
- The thing I don't understand is how I don't remember it.
- Yeah to clarify, you weren't faking.
- No and I don't remember it.
- It's so mind-blowing.
- The magic is real.
- Okay and we're gonna talk, there's a lot to talk about
both with the way Link feels right now about tomatoes
and then what happened with me
in my hypnosis session, we're gonna unpack all that
this week on LTAT.
- Right, if you wanna find out if I still like tomatoes
or, yeah, there's a lot to talk about.
- You're shaking. - We'll do it this Saturday.
- You're really shaking. - Yeah.
Yeah, it's weird, okay.
- We're gonna give Link time to recover.
