This is a YouTube video titled "Randy Charach on TV Talk Show VIA MIA" (created 2015-10-09) containing an on-air hypnosis demonstration led by Randy Charach. The excerpt captures a live TV segment with Randy, the show's host (labeled SPEAKER A), and the producer Eric Vallian (named in the dialogue). The segment shows a hypnotic induction where the producer briefly cannot recall his name and a guided visualization (skywriting the word "cuddle") is used; the tone is demonstrative and conversational.
We are back with Randy Charach. Let's try our producer, Eric Vallian. He said he's never been hypnotized. Never been hypnotized.
Nice to meet you. No, I haven't. Okay. 1, 2, 3, eyes open and sleep. Deeper and deeper, deeper and deeper, more and more relaxed. On the count of 3, you will no longer remember your name. 1, 2, 3, sitting up, eyes open. Fully alert. What was your name? Cat got your tongue?
You forgot. You can't remember your name.
Oh my gosh!
But don't worry, not that sad.
That's okay. Yeah. Oh no. Oh, this is interesting. You're good. You're good. Tell you what, I want you just to close your eyes and relax. Relax and let it go. That's right, just let it go. But that sure is proof that this is real, isn't it? My God. I don't know if, uh, if the people at home were able to see, uh, that his eyes teared up.
I saw part of it on your show, but people were like, oh, they didn't know their names, but they've never seen this.
Usually it's more fun. I don't know why. We're gonna make him feel good and feel happy. What I want you to do, I'm gonna try something with you. I won't hypnotize you.
No.
I'd like you to imagine in your mind, as I did with Rick earlier, imagine a blue sky. Okay, in that blue sky, I'd like you to spell out a word just in your mind. Don't say it out loud. Just spell it out as if you have a skywriting plane. Yeah.
Yeah?
Rick, I'd like you to picture in your mind a blue sky, the blue sky that was so relaxing and comforting before. I'd like you to see a skywriting plane come in and write a word. 1, feeling good. 2, fully awake. 3, feeling happy. Eyes open. What word do you see on the sky? Cuddle? Cuddle. What was the word that you thought of?
Cuddle.
Let's see for the camera at home. I think we just did something that's never done before where we connected your subconscious mind—
How did you do that?
With your conscious mind. That's what— that was my word. More importantly, are you feeling— how are you feeling? Good. You feel good? You feel happy? Mm-hmm. Okay, good.
