Really Famous with Kara Mayer Robinson

Julian McMahon was a regular on Really Famous. And I'm grateful for our talks. Julian died earlier this week. When I think of Julian, I smile. I laugh. All good things. He was fun, open-minded, inquisitive, up for whatever, whether it was coming back on my podcast for a third time - but this time to interview me - or doing an impromptu dance with me on the Malibu Pier just so I’d have something fun to share on social media. The best approach to life, in my humble opinion. He loved it all. Life. Work. Entertainment. Family. People. I think you’ll agree. This is my tribute to him – simply replaying the first three episodes we did together. We did a fourth, sort of, but you’ll have to go to my YouTube channel – https://www.YouTube.com/ReallyFamous [https://www.YouTube.com/ReallyFamous] – to see it. It wasn’t a formal podcast episode. It was a catch-up video we made in 2023 when we met up in California.  Tribute 1 of 2 = our first 2 talks Tribute 2 of 2 = our 3rd talk YouTube = our 4th talk   YouTube: https://youtu.be/MgkjQ8uQe8Q [https://youtu.be/MgkjQ8uQe8Q]  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karamayerrobinson/ [https://www.instagram.com/karamayerrobinson/]   Artist credits: ➤ Celebrity interview by Kara Mayer Robinson ➤ Copyright Kara Mayer Robinson ➤ Music: Nightingale by Eveningland ➤ Creative Commons Podcast Music: ➤ Title: Take a Chance ➤ Artist: Kevin MacLeod ➤ incompetech Creative Commons

AJ Cook, aka JJ Jareau on Criminal Minds and Criminal Minds: Evolution on Paramount+, joins me again and since I'm a therapist, she's been waiting to ask me a lot of questions! We hit hot-button topics like trauma, anxiety and triggers. AJ opens up about what her marriage is REALLY like, and it's probably not what you think. We get into self-doubt and soooo much wisdom coming with age. What AJ shares is totally relatable. What I share may be controversial. Or not. You be the judge. Thank you for listening!

Christopher Knight joins me for a new, intimate talk about family that goes way beyond life as Peter Brady on The Brady Bunch. We’re talking about family dynamics, parenting mistakes, generational trauma, reinvention, nostalgia, and what it really takes to step out of the shadow of an iconic role–not only for Christopher but for each of the six Brady Bunch cast members.   Christopher takes us through his journey—from child actor to someone who’s always asking big questions, and how family dynamics, fear and therapy played a role in his personal life. We get into what it was like growing up in Hollywood and how he figured out who he was outside of growing up feeling unloved as a middle child to extremely loved by being a Brady.   We also talk about groupthink, why some people fall into cults, and how pop culture shapes the way we see the world. And let’s not forget Scientology—and whether Chris and I should pop into one of their recruiting events just for fun. Yes, we go there.   It’s a wild ride with one of TV’s most recognizable faces—so hit play and let’s get into it! Topics Covered: ·       Life after The Brady Bunch ·       Life during The Brady Bunch ·       Where the Brady siblings are now and what their true personalities are like ·       How therapy changed everything ·       Why a TV reboot of The Brady Bunch may never happen ·       How nostalgia impacts our memories ·       The weird ways pop culture shapes us ·       Why groupthink is so dangerous ·       The future of entertainment and tech ·       If his voice was really cracking on the Time to Change episode of The Brady Bunch Resources Mentioned: ·       Instagram | @karamayerrobinson [https://www.instagram.com/karamayerrobinson/?hl=en] ·       TikTok | @karamayerrobinson [https://www.tiktok.com/@karamayerrobinson] ·       Facebook | facebook.com/karamayerrobinson/ [http://facebook.com/karamayerrobinson] ·       Instagram | @therealchristopherknight [https://www.instagram.com/therealchristopherknight/?hl=en] ·       Start therapy or coaching with Kara ➤ https://really-famous.com/therapy-sessions [https://really-famous.com/therapy-sessions]  ·       Share your thoughts ➤ mailto:reallyfamouspodcast@gmail.com [reallyfamouspodcast@gmail.com] ·       Subscribe on YouTube for Kara’s interview videos ➤ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbR3_S40FqVaWfKhYOTneSQ [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbR3_S40FqVaWfKhYOTneSQ] ·       Check out soundbox:LA  ➤ https://www.soundboxstudiola.com/ [https://www.soundboxstudiola.com/]    Celebrity interview by Kara Mayer Robinson Music: Take a Chance by Kevin MacLeod - Incompetech - Creative Commons
