The Game Show Trivia Network- Potluck Satur

The Game Show Trivia Network- Potluck Satur

Hey HSWL FANS! On this Holiday Specials We Love, we are simulcasting a Pot Luck Saturday all about game shows, old Hollywood, and the television moments that somehow became part of our childhood DNA. We talk The Match Game, Family Feud, Hollywood Squares, The Gong Show, Let's Make a Deal, Press Your Luck, and Gene Rayburn's legendary microphone. Hosts, celebrities, unforgettable contestants, and why there was something magical about gathering around the TV to find out what was behind curtain number two. We also talk old Hollywood, stars who seemed to have everything but often weren't happy, entertainers who struggled when the spotlight moved on, and the fascinating idea of "unaided awareness"—those rare personalities that everyone somehow knows. And somewhere along the way, we may have accidentally created The Game Show Trivia Network. As always, please give us a 5-star review on Apple.

Easter Sunday SetUp Simulcast

Hey HSWL FANS! On this Holiday Specials We Love, we are simulcasting a Heal Squad Sunday Setup — Easter nostalgia, childhood memory, cultural debates, and a surprisingly deep dive into forgiveness (with a quick stop at Liberace’s ceiling… but we digress). We talk Easter growing up. The outfits. The patent leather shoes. The “don’t get dirty.” The long, quiet afternoon where nothing is open, nothing is on TV, and you’re just… stuck. Kev delivers the take: Catholics get Christmas. Greeks get Easter. We break down the differences. Baskets vs. candles. Bunnies vs. midnight services. Candy vs. lamb, music, and full-on celebration. What each version gets right — and what maybe doesn’t quite hit. We also get into the bigger question. What do you do when someone you know — or respect — turns out to have done something bad? Forgiveness. Boundaries. Case by case. Real talk. Then… Liberace. The house. The ceiling. The ego. The music. Because we digress AGAIN! We wrap with Easter traditions today — sunrise services, egg hunts, family dinners, and keeping a little fun in the mix no matter what stage of life you’re in. Big shout-out to super fan George for starting our social media pages back up!

Heal Squad RGF Simulcast- Kev Talks St. Paddy's Day

Hey HSWL FANS! A little Bonus Kev time as we simulcast a little RGF St. Paddy's Day Edition! Kev takes us from holiday energy and Boston traditions into one of his wildest Kev-on-the-Scene stories yet.... He talks nostalgia (parades, opening day, people coming back to life) and then he goes deep on the Caribbean Festival in Boston, no spoilers here- you must tune in!!!. Underneath the insanity is something real: how people in power can treat others like they don’t matter, why trusting your instincts can save you, and how staying calm under pressure can make all the difference when things go sideways. As always, text your thoughts to 351-251-2511, and don’t forget to leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts. We'll Talk Shawtly!

Ribbon Candy and Revenge Oscars: An RGF Simulcast

Hey The Holiday Specials We Love fans, we are simulcasting a little RGF from the Heal Squad — We go deep into Mary Poppins lore — Walt waiting for Julie Andrews, the Oscar revenge arc, and why sometimes patience (and instinct) beats studio executives. We detour through Chuck Barris buying a bar out of spite, the slow demise of the newspaper comics page, we talk reality TV ethics sparked by America's Next Top Model. We talk snowstorms, Netflix deep dives, kid influencers, and the fine line between tough love and cultural time travel. Then — as always — we land whereit matters most: candy. Bazooka vs. Double Bubble. Wintergreen supremacy. Canada Mints making a comeback. Jordan almonds as decorative betrayal. And a butterscotch sundae so transcendent it nearly required a moment of silence. Cherry Red Boy, the ribbon candy conversation continues. As always, text your thoughts (Bazooka or Double Bubble?) to 351-251-2511, and don’t forget to leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts. We'll Talk Shawtly!

Rich Candy Poor Candy an RGF Simulcast

On this episode of The Holiday Specials We Love, we simulcast a little RGF from the Heal Squad! We go deep into the great chocolate divide: Hershey vs. Toblerone, plain bar vs. triangular prestige, and why sometimes the snap of a classic Hershey square still wins. We talk frozen York Peppermint Patties, Andes Mints as the rare “free chocolate” victory, and the movie theater trifecta — Snow Caps, Raisinets, Goobers — with a strong defense of sweet-and-salty as a time-honored cinematic tradition. We dip into Bomb Pops and ice cream truck economics, and the sudden cultural rise of pistachio chocolate. We digress to talk, ski ball, and ice cream novelties. We talk about energy vampires online and the art of not taking the bait. We reflect on acting class, unexpected encouragement, and what it feels like to try something new without knowing where it leads. And we touch on that late-winter stretch — the in-between season — when you’re waiting for spring, Opening Day, and the next wave of holiday momentum. As always, text your thoughts (Hershey or Toblerone?) to 351-251-2511, and don’t forget to leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts. Talk Shawtly!
