The Neil Haley Show Featuring Kenny Anderson and David Hayes Cox

The Neil Haley Show Featuring Dr. Conrad Murray and Pat Riley

Neil opened Hour 2 with Dr. Conrad Murray, the cardiologist who served as Michael Jackson's personal physician, calling in to discuss his memoir This Is It!: The Secret Lives of Dr. Conrad Murray and Michael Jackson. Born in Grenada and raised in Trinidad and Tobago (no shoes until age seven), Dr. Murray walked through his 16 years of postgraduate training (Texas Southern, Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Loma Linda for internal medicine, Arizona for cardiology, and UCSD for interventional cardiology), his decision to stay in Nevada after patients begged him not to leave a factory-style group practice, and the unforgettable night he made a treatment call for Mother Teresa without realizing who she was until he saw her on CNN the next evening after dozing off on his couch. He recounted being first called to the Jackson home to treat the three children for an upper-respiratory bug, then earning Michael's trust by smoothly hydrating him with a banana bag (Michael had never felt an IV go in so cleanly), and eventually getting him to allow a male podiatrist near his cracked, calloused, fungus-ridden feet so he could finally dance without pain. Dr. Murray detailed the Demerol addiction he says he never knew about (a Beverly Hills dermatologist, Dr. Arnold Klein, allegedly administered the drug 51 times in Michael's final 60 days, with single-day doses reaching 975mg against a 50mg ER norm), the courtroom evidence he disputes (a propofol concentration of 0.04 mcg/mL in the back of Michael's eye, 65 times below the threshold needed to stop breathing, and no measurable level ever found in the brain), the prosecutor's mid-trial alteration of evidence that he believes should have triggered a mistrial, and the contrast between his 2,000-square-foot master suite and the seven-by-five-foot aluminum-fixture cell where he spent two weeks behind bars. With his California, Nevada, and Texas licenses suspended or revoked, Dr. Murray now serves international patients as an advocate from his international licensure, recently helping reduce one uninsured patient's cardiothoracic bypass bill at the University of Miami from $160,000 to $31,000. His parting message: stop complaining about burnt toast and an overdone breakfast, stand up, dust yourself off, and determine your own destiny. Pick up the book on Amazon, BookBaby, or DrConradMurray.com. Neil then welcomed Office Hours co-host Pat Riley for the weekly AI consulting segment. Pat detailed building a brand-new mobile app concept in about 26 hours: he spotted a truck bumper on his commute, dictated a full business plan to Manus, who returned cost estimates, target segments (consumers, plus credit unions for financing), a website, and a Base44-built prototype priced at $49.99 for a 30-day subscription. Neil pushed back on Base44's credit-burn rate, and Pat had his own AI agent Rich pull a live side-by-side comparison: Base44 is best for non-technical founders building fast prototypes and MVPs, while Claude Code is best for developers, real products, and complex custom logic. They also dug into Claude Cowork's new struggle to surface old conversation threads, Perplexity's credit burn versus Manus at $40 a month, the arrival of Opus 4.8, and Neil's continued AI movie-making workflow using ChatGPT's improved image generation alongside Gemini. Pat also shared meeting Cubs catcher and former manager David Ross at a Morgan Wallen concert and promoted Ross's podcast The Lovable Reunion with Anthony Rizzo, built around the 2016 World Series team's 10-year reunion. Pat's audiobook Deception Underway is on Spotify; visit UnderwayBooks.com.

The Neil Haley Show Featuring Kate Flannery, Wendy Kronick, Jody Corbet, and Dr. Gilda Carle

Neil opened with Total Celebrity favorite Kate Flannery, Meredith Palmer of The Office, to discuss the new Hulu comedy series All Night, in which she plays high-school principal Saperstein on grad-night lockdown (phones surrendered, leave and you can't come back). Kate revealed that the show's young cast is stacked with former Disney and Nickelodeon talent, including Ally Grant (Anna Gasteyer's daughter on Suburgatory). On The Office, she answered two questions Neil pulled from the show's superfans: Meredith five years later would still be partying and working at Dunder Mifflin (when last seen at Toby and Angela's wedding she was dancing with a guy who might just stick around, plus she was finishing a PhD), and yes she really did lick the hand sanitizer, though crew doctored it with clear gelatin and club soda. She also confirmed her recurring run as Crossing Guard Sandy on American Housewife (with a possible return after the writers' strike), her one-shot as sanitation chief Mean Marge on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, her ongoing voice work on Cartoon Network's OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes as K.O.'s mom, and her annual Christmas tour with Jane Lynch built around their album A Swinging Little Christmas, with a likely Pittsburgh stop in early December and a run at the Carlyle Hotel in New York. Neil then welcomed early childhood development expert and RIE Associate Wendy Kronick, who has taught Parent-Infant Guidance classes for nearly 30 years, to discuss her interactive children's book This or That: A Busy Morning (co-authored with Susan Beauchene, illustrated by Emilia Manrique Medrano). Built on Magda Gerber's RIE methodology, the rhyming book walks babies and toddlers through a morning routine by offering two real choices at each step ("the ducks or the bows") so even infants as young as five months can become active participants rather than passive recipients. Wendy and Neil dug into respect, predictability, rupture and repair, age-appropriate boundaries, quiet narration over sportscasting (acknowledging feelings rather than distracting with a "pink elephant"), and being a friendly parent rather than your child's friend until they're grown. Available on Amazon and through the RIE website. Neil then welcomed Jody Corbet for the Jesus and Ugly Jody / Storehouse Media Group simulcast, continuing last week's small-business scaling series. Jody walked through the first true full-time hire after a founder has already outsourced bookkeeping, accounting, and social: the question is not who is cheapest but what the founder is actually good at, then hiring the opposite. He flagged the common trap of hiring four people at once on the promise of future sales, the importance of culture fit over resume polish (a $300,000 hire is fine if they live the founder's vision; a butt-in-seat hire never is), the need to know the cash is already in the account before you bring anyone on, and using AI tools across five different models as advisors rather than as decision-makers. Reach Jody at SLS.Consulting or via LinkedIn and X. Neil closed with Dr. Gilda Carle for the Gilda Gram podcast simulcast, walking through the upheaval at CBS News under new boss Bari Weiss as a leadership case study. Gilda traced 60 Minutes veteran Scott Pelley's reported screaming-match exit ("you have no television experience") after 37 years at the network, and the departures of several long-tenured female reporters, alongside the long shadow of Lesley Stahl, as a textbook example of what happens when long-tenured insiders refuse to follow new ownership. She praised Bari Weiss's track record (The Free Press sold to Paramount), reminded listeners that every organization has a pecking order, and asked the audience to think honestly about how they have handled a new leader: kiss up, wait it out, walk out, or give them a real chance.

The Neil Haley Show Featuring Kenny Anderson and David Hayes Cox

The Neil Haley Show Featuring Kenny Anderson and David Hayes Cox Neil opened Hour 2 with NBA All-Star and Georgia Tech legend Kenny Anderson, who walked through his journey from the projects of LeFrak City, Queens to a 14-year NBA career and the upcoming documentary Mr. Chibbs (directed by Jill Campbell, produced with business partner Barry Markowitz of Green Face Productions). Kenny credited his late mother for the structure that kept him in school and on the court, his mentor Vincent Smith (TNT analyst Kenny Smith's older brother) for teaching him how to play point guard the right way, and a supporting cast of family and advisers for steering him away from the streets. He talked about being ranked the number one player in the country in high school at Archbishop Molloy, his two All-American years at Georgia Tech, and his fear of failing his mother, which haunted him even as the #2 overall pick of the 1991 NBA Draft by the New Jersey Nets. He reflected on the early Nets team with Derrick Coleman and the late Drazen Petrovic (and how that ceiling might have looked very different had Petrovic lived), his five-year run with the Boston Celtics where he set up Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker through the Eastern Conference Finals, and the trades from Portland and Boston that took the passion out of him. After his mother died in 2005, at her burial he heard God say enough, retired at 35, briefly played five months in Lithuania, and went back to school to earn his BA at St. Thomas University in Miami in 2010 — a moment he says hit him harder than draft night. He now coaches with his South Florida Elite AAU program, mentors at-risk kids in Florida, and is taking the same slogan into the documentary: basketball is easy, life is hard. The nickname Chibbs came from his mother calling him "cheeks" as a five-day-old, and he carried it all the way through Georgia Tech and the NBA. Visit MrChibbs.com. Neil then welcomed NRA-certified firearms instructor David Hayes Cox to discuss his new safety guide for parents and kids, This Is A Gun: A Safety Guide for Families with Children (ThisIsAGun.org). David, a 20-year firearms enthusiast trained under Scotty Reitz in Los Angeles, made clear up front that he is not a gun advocate but a gun safety advocate, and that he and his bipartisan co-author (on the opposite side of the political aisle) wrote the book for both gun-owning and non-gun-owning families. He walked through the foundational statistics (400 to 500 million firearms in civilian hands in the US, roughly one million sold per month, with 40 to 52 percent of American homes owning at least one) and the parallel safety domains that drove him to write it (swimming lessons drop drowning risk 88 percent, stop drop and roll, Mr. Yuck, electrical outlet covers). His three-step rule for children encountering a firearm is simple and repeatable: do not touch, run away, find an adult, including the courage to say no to a friend who wants to show off a gun. He emphasized that the book intentionally uses life-size illustrations of the most popular concealed-carry pistol on the market today (the Sig Sauer P365) because children whose only mental model of guns comes from Nerf, squirt guns, video games, and Hollywood will see a real small-frame pistol and assume it is a toy. He praised illustrator Joe Ruiz, encouraged parents to skip realistic-looking replicas for younger kids and save BB-gun training for the age when children are ready to learn the four universal laws of gun safety, and reminded listeners that even in the bluest of states roughly 25 percent of homes contain firearms, so the conversation cannot be avoided. Pick up the book at ThisIsAGun.org.

The Neil Haley Show Featuring Erica Wheeler, Jason Seal, Mary Shearer Eckert, Mina Valentin, Mike Crook, and Darren Fryer

Neil opened with WNBA point guard Erica Wheeler on the Total Celebrity Show. Raised in the Pork 'N Beans section of Miami's Liberty City (10 blocks from the First 48 cameras), Erica walked through the only two paths she saw growing up — basketball or the streets — and credited her late mother Melissa Cooper (lost to cervical cancer) and her high school Coach Adams for keeping her on the court and in the classroom. At Rutgers under Hall of Fame coach C. Vivian Stringer, she learned everything from public-speaking to media training to dress (Stringer told her mom in their living room that the scholarship was about the degree, not the game). After being undrafted, she signed with the Atlanta Dream, then got the call to the New York Liberty when a player went down. She praised the Liberty's sisterhood culture, and previewed her next overseas stop in Brazil with Marinho, after a strong prior year with Sesi. Follow her at @EWeezy_3. Neil then welcomed Jason Seal for the No Sleeve Nation podcast simulcast. Jason is shipping eight-shirt friend orders, a fresh wave to a longtime Florida fan, and a new design for the Finleyville Carnival in July benefiting the fire department. He continues to hand-cut and hand-stitch every shirt (none are identical), and is still hunting for the right brand for the women's and kids' lines. Visit NoSleeveNation.com. Neil then welcomed bestselling Christian author Mary Shearer Eckert to continue the Wounded Sisters conversation. Mary leaned into the theme that worry is a form of not trusting God, recalled how a rainy-morning car wreck redirected her to Kerrville and on to nursing school, and shared that her book is now poised for Hobby Lobby placement and a push into local Barnes & Noble signings. The sequel is well underway, driven by reader demand. Visit MaryShererEckert.com. Neil then welcomed Mina Valentin for two Mina Valentine Show simulcast segments. First, on Memorial Day's roots, Mina traced the Georgian-era English tradition of King Charles II founding the Chelsea Royal Hospital, the Out-Pension System for soldiers with 20 years of service or war injuries, and the rare regimental medals reserved for grand acts. She compared that to Theodore Roosevelt opening three large US veterans' hospitals (New Jersey, Iowa, and the wildly successful Dayton, Ohio campus where men farmed, gardened, painted, and built), and traced Memorial Day's evolution from Decoration Day in 1868 honoring Union Civil War dead to today's federal observance. In her second segment, Mina compared Georgian-era English breakfasts by class: cold salted tongue, smoked kippers, grilled haddock or halibut, hot chocolate, and fresh breads for the wealthy; porridge or pottage with crumbled bread and milk, day-old bread, and the cabbage-and-potato classic Bubble and Squeak for the working class. Visit MinaValentin.com. Neil closed with Mike Crook for the Mike Crook Show simulcast, joined by Darren Fryer from Hawaii (Dr. Duggar was out) to keep walking through OnlyLife's biohacking technology line. They priced and bundled the flagship P90 Plus ($1,500 plus 10% tax and shipping, comes with the facial wand and the Revitalux PEMF claw wand), the new ShakeAN Massager ($1,000, launched December 2025, targeting visceral belly fat), the PEMF goggles for eye and brain health ($500), and the Vitality Wand with tripod ($600). Darren recommended pairing the ShakeAN with the P90 Plus for weight loss (melt fat first, then circulate and detoxify so the cells do not reabsorb) and the P90 Plus with the Vitality Wand for specific pain and injury recovery. Mike shared his own results melting stubborn love handles and easing nerve damage in his feet, and contrasted the one-time hardware cost with the recurring price of GLP-1 prescriptions.

The Neil Haley Show Featuring Michele Greene, Caregiver Dave, Mike Crook, Darren Fryer, and Ron King

Neil opened Hour 2 of the Total Celebrity segment with Caregiver Dave to welcome actress, singer, and author Michele Greene, beloved as Abby Perkins for five Emmy-nominated seasons on NBC's L.A. Law (1986 to 1991). Michele recounted how Steven Bochco had cast her in his earlier short-lived Bay City Blues as Judy Nuckles and then called her up three years later, without an audition, to offer her L.A. Law at age 24, the same week she was offered the female lead opposite Andy Griffith on Matlock. She walked Neil through the upcoming Hollywood Show fan event at the LAX Westin, where she will reunite with castmates Susan Ruttan, Harry Hamlin, Jill Eikenberry, Michael Tucker, Corbin Bernsen, and Richard Dean Anderson, and reflected on how the recent cast reunion on The Talk caught her by surprise emotionally. Michele also shared that after adopting her son as a single parent she had two young-adult novels published (Chasing the Jaguar with HarperCollins and Keep Sweet with Simon & Schuster), is finishing a third, has done extensive theater work at the LA Shakespeare Center, and is finally returning to acting now that her 12-year-old son is independent. Caregiver Dave closed out the segment talking about his 22 years caring for his wife after her stroke, the 30-percent caregiver mortality statistic, and Michele's role caring for her 91-year-old mother and two recently deceased elderly cousins in Nevada. Visit MicheleGreene.com and CaregiverDave.com. Neil then continued the Mike Crook Show simulcast with Mike and Darren Fryer from Maui (Dr. Duggar was out again) for the deeper dive on OnlyLife's biohacking technology. Darren traced PEMF's origins from Nikola Tesla through NASA's billion-dollar work with Dr. Schumann (the 7.83 hertz Schumann Resonance is Earth's natural frequency) and the recent SpaceX rescue mission in which the stranded ISS astronauts returned wheelchair-bound after their PEMF machines had been powered down to conserve electricity. He told the story of company founder Mr. Wang, the 39-year-old Chinese billionaire who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on his own healing in Germany and Sweden before reverse-engineering the technology and launching OnlyLife out of Singapore in 2022, doing 80 million dollars a month and a billion in sales by the end of year two with research and development in Sweden and Germany, parts manufactured in Japan, and final assembly in Hong Kong. He shared local Hawaii testimonies including two-time World's Strongest Man Vili Fafi regaining nerve sensation after 15 years of post-stroke numbness and his Auntie Lori showing full bone regeneration on her broken shoulder in six weeks (a recovery his hospital's X-ray techs had never seen before). He closed by previewing the December 2025 ShakeAN Massager, the first smart frequency-based weight-loss device, which combines PEMF, ultrasound, radio frequency, red light, vibration, heat, and massage in a single hands-free belt that gym InBody readers register as burning over 500 calories in a 20-minute session. Neil closed Hour 2 with Ron King, "The Donkey King," whose ABC docuseries premiered January 3 of this year and is now 12 episodes deep into a 17-episode first run. Once the executive who ran InStyle magazine (sitting front row at Donatella Versace's Milan shows), Ron walked Neil through his midlife crisis at age 50 during COVID, the TikTok video about donkeys being auctioned for slaughter that redirected his entire life, and the December 5, 2020 arrival of his first three rescues, Goose, Pickles, and Shadow. Five years and 450 rescues later, his 501(c)(3) Oscar's Place is the subject of a joyful half-hour docuseries he insisted not be reality-TV loud (CBS gave him his first taste, raising $200,000 in an eight-minute segment back in March 2021).
