    L.A. Law's Michele Greene, Author Tom Askman, and the Marrow Marxman with Dr. Robert E. Marx and Eric Papenfus

    L.A. Law's Michele Greene, Author Tom Askman, and the Marrow Marxman with Dr. Robert E. Marx and Eric Papenfus This edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with a Caregiver Dave celebrity segment, co-hosted by caregiver advocate Dave Nassaney, welcoming actress, singer, songwriter, and author Michele Greene, best known as attorney Abby Perkins on L.A. Law, a role that earned her a 1989 Primetime Emmy nomination and which she reprised in the 2002 reunion film. Greene shared the warmth of reconnecting with her castmates, recounting how nearly the entire cast reunited on The Talk, the first time they had all been together since the show ended, and marveled at how emotional it proved, with Michael Tucker admitting he was unprepared for how deeply it affected him. She said the group even headed out to an impromptu dinner that night, and previewed an upcoming fan signing event drawing familiar faces like Susan Ruttan and Harry Hamlin, with hopes that others, perhaps Corbin Bernsen, might turn up too. Beyond acting, Greene, raised in a bilingual Mexican and Central American household in Los Angeles, spoke to her parallel life as a bilingual singer-songwriter and author, and, over the yelps of her puppy in the background, came across as gracious and grateful for the affection fans still hold for the show. Neil then welcomed author Tom Askman to discuss his book The Way Back to Being: Tools for Returning Home. Askman explained that he never expected to become an author, having spent fifty-four years as a studio art professor, and that the book grew out of his own long journey through alcoholism and, ultimately, sobriety and a spiritual awakening. Teaching one-on-one, he said, he watched more and more students grow disillusioned, conditioned to chase happiness somewhere out in the world, and he came to believe, echoing Emerson and Wayne Dyer, that people are born connected to their authentic selves and lose that connection to overthinking and cultural programming. The book, he said, offers the practical tools that helped him reconnect, get free of addiction, and live more fully and lovingly, a message that grew out of a class he taught and that his students urged him to put into writing. The program closes with a Dr. Robert E. Marx Show and Million Dollar Minutes simulcast, produced by Michael Aguas, spotlighting the newly FDA-cleared Marrow Marxman, a device developed over years by oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Robert E. Marx and engineer Eric Papenfus, chief engineer and CEO of Medimetrix. Marx explained that the device harvests a patient's own adult stem cells from bone marrow at higher concentration, allowing surgeons to regenerate bone, even rebuild a jaw, without taking bone from the hip or leg, a minimally invasive alternative to older grafting surgery with a published track record dating to 2022. Papenfus walked through the patented flexible shaft and cutting head and the years of studies and rigorous review behind it. Both emphasized benefits they see for patients, no general anesthesia and little swelling, and framed it as their own account of the technology and its clearance rather than medical advice.

    Punky Brewster's Soleil Moon Frye and Retired Chief John Matthews

    Punky Brewster's Soleil Moon Frye and Retired Chief John Matthews This edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with a Total Celebrity conversation with Soleil Moon Frye, beloved as the star of the 1980s classic Punky Brewster. Frye, an unabashed lover of the era herself, reflected on how deeply the show still moves people decades later, saying Punky was never just a show but a way of life, and that her castmate Cherie felt like a true best friend and the set like family. She pointed viewers to her Hulu documentary Kid 90, a decades-in-the-making project that began as a film about everyone else and became a personal coming-of-age story of both the teen and adult her, spanning college, marriage, four children, and years of transformation, and she hinted a new book could be next. The heart of the conversation was her work with the Ask to Be Sure campaign, raising awareness of meningitis B, a rare but fast-moving and potentially deadly infection that especially affects teens and young adults roughly sixteen to twenty-three. Frye said she had not realized the childhood meningitis vaccine does not cover meningitis B until a friend told her, and, after hearing from survivors and grieving families, she spoke with her own daughter's pediatrician. Framed as awareness rather than medical advice, her message was simple: do not be shy about asking your doctor, pharmacist, or care provider to be sure. She noted that a striking share of seventeen-year-olds had not received a single dose, and that families often assume the shots kids get for school already cover it, a gap she hopes the campaign closes by keeping the conversation going between parents, teens, and providers. Neil then joined a Storehouse Media Group simulcast welcoming retired police chief John Matthews, who blended two very different passions into one memorable brand. A four-decade veteran of law enforcement who began with the Dallas Police Department and is known for the investigation and arrest of the city's first serial killer, Matthews went on to spend about thirty years training police nationwide, more than a hundred thousand officers, specializing in serial killers, mass shooters, and school safety, work he has also done alongside federal agencies. Rather than slow down, he founded the well-rated Casara Winery and Vineyards, focusing on Italian dry reds like Sangiovese and Montepulciano, and created True Crime and Wine, a live event and podcast in which audiences sip wine while he walks them through real cases, his own and others from around the world. He described more than a hundred sellout nights at wineries across the country and a new national tour ahead, noting his crowds are overwhelmingly women drawn to the how and the why behind these crimes. Born, almost literally, into a law enforcement family, Matthews said the most satisfying part of the career has always been helping put dangerous people behind bars and bringing families some measure of closure. He and Neil's co-host connected over shared roots in Virginia and Georgia, both stops on his upcoming tour, and he traced the surge of interest to appearances at CrimeCon, where audiences kept asking how someone could commit such acts, a question he tries to help ordinary, good-hearted people begin to understand.

    Author Steven Jay Rubin, Crime Watch Daily's Chris Hansen, Author Tracy Emerick, and GildaGram with Dr. Gilda Carle

    Author Steven Jay Rubin, Crime Watch Daily's Chris Hansen, Author Tracy Emerick, and GildaGram with Dr. Gilda Carle This edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with a Total Celebrity conversation with Steven Jay Rubin, author of The Twilight Zone Encyclopedia. Rubin, a film historian who spent over three years on the project, said he set out to honor not just Rod Serling but the hundreds of actors and behind-the-scenes people across the show's 156 episodes who might otherwise be lost to history, gathering rare photos and untold stories. He described Serling as a genius who came out of live television determined to tell morality plays about the common man, and who, blocked at every turn by nervous networks and sponsors, learned to cloak real-world issues in science fiction and fantasy, wanting to dramatize the Emmett Till case and being told to change the victim's identity before turning to allegory like Eye of the Beholder. Rubin argued Serling was among the first to grasp television's power to reach more people in twenty minutes than all the authors in history, and pointed fans to his daily Twilight Zone history feature on Facebook. The book is available at bookstores and on Amazon. Neil then welcomed veteran journalist Chris Hansen of Crime Watch Daily. Hansen described a daily program unlike anything else on daytime television, spanning murder mysteries, investigations, the latest Hansen versus Predator work, and breaking news, all guided by his longtime mission: to get into the mind of the criminal, hear the voice of the victim, and help prevent others from becoming victims. He spoke about the show's Badge of Honor segment saluting law enforcement, sharing the story of an Oregon state trooper shot twelve times who survived and returned to duty, and of NYPD officers who drove a suspected bomb to a less populated area to save lives. Noting the show reaches hundreds of cities, he previewed an exclusive interview in a self-defense case and pointed viewers to crimewatchdaily.com to find local listings. The hour continued with author Tracy Emerick, Ph.D., about his book Nifty Neighbors: Mister Rogers and Jesus Christ. Emerick explained that the book is part of a series he writes as bridges for people who are not necessarily believers, pairing well-known figures, Steve Jobs, Martin Luther King Jr., Bill Belichick, Oprah Winfrey, and others, with Jesus Christ, telling stories rather than lectures. He described Fred Rogers, a Presbyterian minister, as a masterful storyteller whose on-air transformation into sweater and sneakers made him a comforting neighbor, and drew parallels to Jesus welcoming the little children and meeting people, like the woman at the well, where they were. Both, he argued, were gentle but never pushovers, holding high expectations while leading with kindness, and his hope is simply to hold up a mirror that prompts readers to reflect. The program closes with GildaGram, where Dr. Gilda Carle explored what success can cost at home, warning that when two partners compete to climb, jealousy can replace partnership, and urging couples to set clear roles and boundaries and to give each other room to decompress after demanding days. In a heavier segment, she responded to backlash over a remark about male fragility, clarifying that she was pointing to the disproportionately high rate of suicide among men and boys and calling on listeners to mentor and support struggling young men rather than dismiss the issue.

    Black-ish Star Marcus Scribner, Dr. Robert E. Marx on AI, and a Faith Testimony from Owen Wilson

    Black-ish Star Marcus Scribner, Dr. Robert E. Marx on AI, and a Faith Testimony from Owen Wilson This edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with a Total Celebrity conversation with actor Marcus Scribner of ABC's Black-ish, a show Neil and his wife catch up on every weekend. Scribner, who has grown up on the series, reflected on auditioning as a naive newcomer who assumed the show would simply run thirty years, only to learn how quickly most pilots come and go, making a run like Black-ish all the more special. He praised the series for telling a fresh story every week and reflecting the diaspora of cultures across the country, and marveled at how it can tackle prickly subjects and poke at every group without leaving audiences feeling attacked. He spoke about his character reaching the milestone of graduation, an honor he called super special, and about weighing his own next steps, from college classes to what comes after a childhood spent on set. Warm and grateful for a role that shaped his coming of age, he clearly relishes being part of a show he believes tells the story of the American people. Neil then hosted a Dr. Robert E. Marx Show simulcast in which the veteran oral and maxillofacial surgeon, once a skeptic, came on as an enthusiastic new convert to artificial intelligence. Marx said his early wariness came mostly from unfamiliarity, but that the more he looked, the more he saw enormous potential with minimal drawbacks, and that the technology is a juggernaut no one can afford to ignore. He and Neil talked through the debate over AI data centers and their demand on resources like water, and made the case, as their own opinion, that the United States and its allies cannot afford to slow down while other nations race ahead, arguing the country should embrace the tools rather than fall behind out of fear. Both framed AI as most powerful when it augments human work rather than replaces it, and Neil, who had earlier helped introduce Marx to the tools, noted how far the doctor's enthusiasm had come in a matter of months. They offered the political dimensions of the debate as their own views rather than settled fact. The program closes with a faith testimony from Owen Wilson, a New Zealand aircraft mechanic and pilot, not the actor, featured in Daniel Fasina's book and set to appear at the Power of Testimony event at Shelter Rock Church in Syosset, New York, on September 12th. Wilson recounted a gorgeous late-autumn afternoon flight he took to celebrate a friend's birthday in a small aero-club plane he had flown and trusted for years over the rugged, ocean-lined Marlborough region. Partway through, he said, the engine fell silent with nowhere to land, and as he and his passenger prayed, it sputtered back to life in just enough bursts to clear a ridge, revealing a hidden airfield below where he set the plane down safely, a spot he had never once seen in years of flying that coastline. Having marked every possible emergency landing spot on his maps over four years, he had never known that airfield existed, and he credits the whole chain of events, and the tricky landing that followed, to divine intervention. Tickets for the September 12th event are at events.artoheaven.com, and Marcus Scribner can be seen on Black-ish.

    Leeza Gibbons, Walking Miracles' Brett Wilson, and GildaGram with Dr. Gilda Carle

    Leeza Gibbons, Walking Miracles' Brett Wilson, and GildaGram with Dr. Gilda Carle This edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with a Total Celebrity conversation with Emmy winner, New York Times bestselling author, and Celebrity Apprentice champion Leeza Gibbons about her passion for seniors and their caregivers. Gibbons said too few people pay attention to an aging population, and that she wants to shine a light on how adult children can honor the senior loved ones who deserve it. She traced her advocacy back to caring for her own mother through Alzheimer's, and described how her mission has broadened beyond that one disease to seniors more generally. Gibbons spoke about her work with Senior Helpers, whose in-home caregivers are specially trained to work with cognitive impairments and to educate families on what to expect, and stressed how much easier the road becomes when a family has a plan in place before a crisis hits rather than scrambling afterward. She framed it as awareness for families rather than one-size-fits-all advice, encouraging loved ones to start the conversation early. Warm and grateful, she framed the whole effort as making sure our elders are seen and valued, and reflected on how winning Celebrity Apprentice let her pour a spotlight, and real resources, onto a cause the culture too often overlooks. Neil then welcomed Brett Wilson, CEO of The Unspoken Cost of Cancer and founder of the Walking Miracles Family Foundation, to launch a new podcast the two are producing together. Wilson, a two-time childhood cancer survivor who has spent years building the resources she and her mother never had, explained that after their first interview she and Neil hit it off and decided to join forces, with Neil lending his media network and contacts to grow her foundation and her patient-education work. The Unspoken Cost of Cancer, she said, addresses the toll cancer takes not only on patients but on the caregivers, families, and communities around them, a burden she believes goes largely unspoken. She recounted how she and her mother faced her own childhood cancers with little guidance in rural West Virginia, the experience that fuels the mission, and said the new show is a way to reach far more families than she ever could alone. She continues to give overlooked cancer families navigation, resources, and a voice. The program closes with a series of GildaGram simulcasts featuring Dr. Gilda Carle. In one, she returned to the backlash she gets whenever she calls men fragile, clarifying that she is not insulting men but pointing to real warning signs, from a widening gap in which women now outpace men in earning college degrees to the disproportionately high rate of male suicide, and urging support and mentorship over defensiveness. In another, aimed at her professional audience, she warned about over-functioning, the trap of overpromising and burning yourself out to impress higher-ups, and the toll it quietly takes. In a lighter final segment, she reacted to a proposed United Kingdom law that could grant a long-term cohabiting partner rights to a person's assets even without marriage, using it to talk through the modern anxieties reshaping how people approach dating and commitment, and cautioning listeners against letting resentment harden into writing off an entire gender.

    Author Susan Hall, Real Estate Star Ryan Serhant, Author Daniel Fazzina, and a Testimony from Owen Wilson

    Author Susan Hall, Real Estate Star Ryan Serhant, Author Daniel Fazzina, and a Testimony from Owen Wilson This edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with a lively cross-continental simulcast, joining Fernando and Sergio Bravo of InfoRadio in Madrid, live from Callao Square during their marathon World Radio Challenge, before turning to author Susan Hall, sister of the late Los Angeles Lakers owner Dr. Jerry Buss. Calling in from Phoenix, Hall discussed her book, I Laugh in the Face of Cancer, a title Neil and the Spanish hosts loved. She explained that she wrote it because there is so much fear around cancer, much of it understandable, and she wanted to hand people a more hopeful, resilient way to face a diagnosis, drawing on her own family's experience. Warm and upbeat across the language barrier, she made the case that courage, faith, and even humor can be powerful medicine, and thanked the Spanish hosts for staying up through their overnight marathon to include her. She framed the book as encouragement for anyone walking that frightening road, or loving someone who is. Neil then joined a Caregiver Dave celebrity segment, co-hosted by caregiver advocate Dave Nassaney, welcoming Ryan Serhant of Bravo's Million Dollar Listing New York. Serhant discussed the honor of being named the American Cancer Society's 2021 National Ambassador for the Real Men Wear Pink program, part of his family's and his company's commitment to giving back. He said he was moved to act after reading that a large share of Americans, some forty-one percent, delayed medical care in 2020 amid the pandemic out of fear of doctors and hospitals, and used his platform to urge people, especially men, not to put off screenings and checkups. His message, offered as encouragement rather than medical advice, was simple: showing up matters, and early detection saves lives, so book the appointment you have been avoiding. Neil praised the philanthropic streak behind a career better known for luxury listings. The hour continued with a Mike Vilardi Show simulcast featuring award-winning author, broadcaster, and media professional Daniel Fazzina, host of Divine Intervention Radio. A native New Yorker now living in Virginia, Fazzina traced a Long Island Lutheran upbringing and a media career spanning radio, music videos, and film before sharing the testimony that changed his path: healings he attributes to God, from a chronic back condition in 2001 and a massive cancerous tumor in 2002. Those experiences, he said, inspired him to launch Divine Intervention Radio in 2007 and a book series collecting firsthand accounts of people who believe they have witnessed the hand of God, from healings to transformed lives, all offered, in his telling, as encouragement for believers and skeptics alike. He is gathering many of those voices for the Power of Testimony event at Shelter Rock Church in Syosset, New York, on September 12th. The program closes with a return testimony from Owen Wilson, a New Zealand aircraft mechanic and pilot, not the actor, also featured in Fazzina's work. Wilson recounted a birthday flight over the rugged Marlborough coast in a small plane he had flown for years when the engine fell silent with nowhere to land; as he and his passenger prayed, it sputtered back to life just long enough to clear a ridge and reveal a hidden airfield he had never known existed, where he landed safely, a rescue he credits to divine intervention.

    AI Office Hours with Pat Riley, Author J. Len Sciuto, and GildaGram with Dr. Gilda Carle

    This edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with an AI Office Hours simulcast, where Neil and co-host Pat Riley traded their weekly love-hate notes on artificial intelligence, the tools that dazzle one minute and frustrate the next. Riley, juggling a packed weekend of work, described the grind of the end of the month and his ongoing struggle to funnel feedback to a ghostwriting team that keeps sending material through scattered channels, some by email, some posted to a shared site, with several contacts instead of one, a reminder of how much a single point of contact matters. He recounted riding out a multi-day outage when one assistant tool went down for an update, forcing him to back everything up and lean on another, and the pair returned to their steady theme that these systems are powerful when a human stays in charge and organized, and maddening when workflows get tangled. Neil admitted he can swing from hating AI five minutes in to praising it for the next three hours, and the two agreed the real skill now is building clean, repeatable systems, then keeping a person watching over them, so a stray glitch or an update does not derail a whole week. They read a few listener comments and encouraged people to keep experimenting while guarding their time and budget. Neil then turned to a J. Len Sciuto Show simulcast, where the retired Coast Guard officer and thriller author opened, as always, with a disclaimer that his remarks are opinion and discussion drawn from public reporting, with certain claims disputed or unverified. Sciuto noted his novel Hades Crypt has now spent forty-one weeks on the Kindle bestseller list, thanking readers, then offered his own high-level geopolitical assessment of ongoing tensions abroad, framing the range of scenarios he sees strictly as personal speculation rather than settled fact. He was careful to keep the discussion at the level of broad strategy and possibility rather than operational specifics, presenting the whole of it as one veteran's informed opinion. He again reminded listeners that a portion of his book proceeds supports junior enlisted service members, the reason, he said, he writes at all. The program closes with two GildaGram simulcasts featuring Dr. Gilda Carle. In the first, aimed at her professional audience, she spotlighted what she called the cost nobody puts on the balance sheet, arguing that as layoffs mount, whether from AI, mergers, or shrinking need, companies overlook the hidden price of turnover, absenteeism, and unresolved conflict, and the toll all of it takes on the morale and productivity of the people who remain. In the second, drawing on her background as a former celebrity gossip columnist, she reflected with compassion on Kate Beckinsale, who has spoken publicly about the grief and trauma of losing her mother and, years earlier, the stepfather she adored, a reminder, Carle said, that all that glitters is not gold and that we never truly know what someone is carrying beneath a polished surface.

    Horror Star Bill Moseley, Entrepreneur Ed Chaffin, Walking Miracles' Brett Wilson, and Cheryl Lovell of Vassia Care

    Horror Star Bill Moseley, Entrepreneur Ed Chaffin, Walking Miracles' Brett Wilson, and Cheryl Lovell of Vassia Care This edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with a Total Celebrity conversation with horror icon Bill Moseley of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and much more. A lifelong horror fan spooked as a young man by the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Moseley recounted the delightfully unlikely break that made his career: while working on a Wyoming ranch, a coworker's random outburst inspired him to write and film a short spoof called The Texas Chainsaw Manicure, in which he also appeared. He got a copy to director Tobe Hooper, who was so tickled that he cast Moseley as the unforgettable Chop Top in the sequel, launching a run that would later include Otis in Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects. Moseley, who lives in Los Angeles, spoke warmly about Halloween as a celebration of monsters, admitting that he happily stays in on the big night, calling it amateur hour, and stocks up on the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups he loves. His affection for the genre and its fans was unmistakable. Neil then welcomed entrepreneur, author, and executive coach Ed Chaffin for a Storehouse Media Group simulcast about his remarkable business journey. Chaffin clarified that the company was publicly traded rather than his own, but that he ran its largest division, some 1,200 employees and roughly 150 million dollars in revenue, part of an operation built through a dozen acquisitions from five million to three hundred million and sold for 1.4 billion dollars in 2007. In 2008 he reinvented himself as an international leadership consultant and executive coach, and, a storyteller at heart, he described printing out the flood of farewell emails he received at retirement, tucking them in a folder, and using them as the seed for the next chapter of his work helping leaders grow. He drew a sharp line between the many self-styled gurus who have never actually built or sold anything and the hard-won credibility of having done it, a distinction Neil underscored in introducing him. The hour continued with a moving conversation with Brett Wilson, CEO and survivorship navigator of the Walking Miracles Family Foundation. A two-time childhood cancer survivor, diagnosed with leukemia as a toddler and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at nine, Wilson has spent fourteen years building the resources she and her mother never had. She explained that because she and her family faced the disease in rural West Virginia with little guidance, often driving two to three hours each way for treatment, she vowed as a child to create a center so others would not have to navigate cancer alone. Through Walking Miracles she connects families with patient navigation, travel help, counseling, and survivorship plans that link people to specialists who watch for the long-term effects of treatment, effects she still lives with today. Her book, I Am A Walking Miracle, carries the same mission, and the foundation can be found at walkingmiracles.org. The program closes with a Storehouse Media Group simulcast hosted by Sherrie Price Clark, welcoming returning guest Cheryl Lovell to announce the launch of Vassia Care. Drawing on a background in health consulting, Lovell explained that the venture came together after she connected with an entrepreneur from a healthcare-technology background who wanted to bring real innovation to the way care is actually delivered. Together, she said, they are building Vassia Care to modernize the provider space and bring technology-driven innovation to the actual delivery of care, a story she had been eager to share since her first appearance.
