In this important episode of the Total Celebrity Show on the Total Education Network, host Neil Haley sits down with NFL Hall of Fame running back Barry Sanders and neurological expert Dr. Greg O'Shanick to discuss their advocacy campaign Tackle PBA, which aims to raise awareness about pseudobulbar affect (PBA)—a little-known neurological condition affecting approximately 2 million Americans, including many former football players. Dr. O'Shanick explains that PBA causes uncontrollable and unpredictable episodes of laughing and crying that are completely out of context with what the person is actually feeling or experiencing. Someone with PBA might laugh uncontrollably during a solemn church service or begin crying during a routine parent-teacher conference, leading to embarrassment, social isolation, and damaged relationships in both personal and professional settings. The condition occurs in individuals who have other chronic neurological conditions such as traumatic brain injuries, concussions, strokes, multiple sclerosis, Lou Gehrig's disease, or Alzheimer's disease. Crucially, Dr. O'Shanick emphasizes that PBA is treatable and that people don't need to suffer in silence or feel stigmatized by their symptoms.Barry Sanders shares his personal connection to the cause through his work with the Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund, which conducted a survey revealing that one-third of former NFL players exhibit PBA-like symptoms. These findings deeply resonated with Sanders, as many of these players are men he competed with and against throughout his legendary career—athletes who gave everything to the game and deserve access to proper diagnosis and treatment. Dr. O'Shanick notes that family members are often the first to recognize PBA symptoms, as affected individuals may not fully grasp what's happening to them or may attribute their emotional outbursts to grief or sadness related to their primary condition. The Tackle PBA campaign encourages anyone experiencing these symptoms or concerned about a loved one to visit tacklepba.org, where they can take a self-assessment test and find resources for discussing the condition with their physician. Both Sanders and Dr. O'Shanick stress that awareness and education are critical first steps, as PBA has been understood medically for over 100 years but often goes undiagnosed simply because patients and healthcare providers aren't familiar with it. Sanders also reflects on his life after his remarkable football career, discussing how his platform has allowed him to engage in meaningful charity work and advocacy efforts like Tackle PBA while remaining a passionate fan of the game that gave him so many opportunities.

In this inspiring episode of The Neil Haley Show, host Neil Haley and co-host Eric Couch sit down with supermodel-turned-business mogul Kathy Ireland, whose Kathy Ireland Worldwide generates over a billion dollars annually across furniture, fashion, diamonds, real estate, and FinTech.

She and her creative director would load up backpacks, hit the road, and face countless rejections before eventually selling their 100 millionth pair of socks—a milestone she celebrates with genuine gratitude.Ireland credits her success to lessons learned from modeling's constant rejection, her mother's example of pivoting through various entrepreneurial ventures, and mentors including Elizabeth Taylor, Warren Buffett, and Irv Blumkin of Nebraska Furniture Mart. She reveals her unwavering commitment to ethical business practices, conducting surprise factory inspections to combat human trafficking, which she identifies as the fastest-growing illegal business globally. Her faith provides the foundation for everything she does—she found Christ at 18 after her mother secretly placed a Bible in her suitcase, though she admits to neglecting scripture for years before reading it cover to cover and recognizing where she had gone astray. Ireland's business philosophy centers on "J-O-Y" (Jesus, Others, You), a reminder she would post throughout her home when her children were young to maintain proper priorities. When asked about legacy, she quotes Casting Crowns: "I don't want to leave a legacy. I don't care if they remember me, only Jesus." She emphasizes that putting God first at 44 years old—starting with just 15 minutes of prayer and Bible reading each morning—transformed her life, giving her more and better time with her children while building a business empire that funds humanitarian work addressing hunger, poverty, education, veteran care, and human trafficking prevention.
Actor and producer Kirk Cameron joins Neil Haley and Greg Hanna for a powerful conversation about his pro-life film "Life Mark," which tells the extraordinary true story of David Scotton. The film chronicles an 18-year-old woman who chose adoption over abortion in an unplanned pregnancy, believing she'd never see her child again, only to reconnect 19 years later when her son came not with anger but with gratitude and love. Cameron, who is an adoptive father to four of his six children and whose wife is also adopted, discovered David's documentary "I Lived on Parker Avenue" through a friend and immediately knew it would make a powerful movie. Partnering with the Kendrick brothers, he produced and starred in the film as the adoptive father, with the movie's release coinciding providentially with the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade—a timing Cameron describes as something they couldn't have planned but that God orchestrated perfectly.Cameron shares remarkable stories of the film's real-world impact, including an introverted Uber driver who saw "Life Mark" and felt compelled to speak up when he realized he was taking a young passenger to an abortion clinic. The driver asked if she'd be open to talking with someone and watching the movie, which led to her connecting with a pregnancy resource center, reconciling with her estranged family, renewing her faith, and ultimately choosing adoption for her child. Cameron emphasizes that adoption appears throughout scripture—from Joseph adopting Jesus in the Christmas story to Moses being saved from government-mandated abortion and adopted into royalty—showing that God loves adoption and uses it to bring salvation and new beginnings to the world. He passionately articulates that America's foundation on "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" must prioritize life first, as there can be no liberty or pursuit of happiness without it, regardless of one's religious beliefs or background.When asked about his entrepreneurial journey from Growing Pains star to Christian film leader, Cameron humbly deflects credit for strategic brand management, instead explaining that he simply tries to be faithful with what God puts in front of him each day. He lives by the biblical principle that "he who is faithful in the little things will also be entrusted with big things," acknowledging he doesn't deserve his opportunities but is grateful for them. Cameron's core philosophy centers on the truth that people are more important than things—the two greatest commandments being to love God and love others. He warns against the traps of money, power, and fame that destroy relationships, advising that for married people, the most important relationships are with God and one's spouse, as these form the foundation their children will build upon for the next 50 years. His message is clear: in difficult circumstances like unplanned pregnancies, we must look through the lens of love toward everyone involved—the woman, the man, and especially the child—and recognize that adoption is the loving choice that can transform crisis into miracle.
Actress Tara Reid joins hosts Neil Haley and Caregiver Dave Nissani for an intimate conversation about her remarkable journey in Hollywood. Reid, best known for her iconic roles in American Pie, The Big Lebowski, and the Sharknado franchise, opens up about the foundation of her success—her parents, who were both teachers and ran the Donna Reed's Child Development Center. She reveals a personal detail that even Google gets wrong: her middle name is actually Darlene, not Donna, a combination of her grandmothers' names Darcy and Eileen.The conversation takes a nostalgic turn as Reid reminisces about attending Professional Children's School (PCH) in New York alongside future stars like Sarah Michelle Gellar, Christina Ricci, and Macaulay Culkin. She shares amusing stories about how students would skip tests by claiming they had auditions, with classmates staying behind to gather information for the next day. Reid's big break came unexpectedly when she was cast in The Big Lebowski at age 22, though she had been working as a child actress long before that, starting with her first role in a Stephen King adaptation after being discovered by a talent manager in a New Jersey food court.Reid discusses the phenomenon of American Pie, admitting she never anticipated it would become such a cult classic that she wouldn't need to audition again for the rest of her career. With nearly 100 films under her belt, she reflects on how the franchise changed her life and led to a three-picture deal with Universal. The actress also touches on the unexpected success of Sharknado, which introduced her to a whole new generation of young fans who couldn't watch her earlier work.Throughout the interview, Reid displays the grounded personality she credits to her upbringing, discussing her psychic abilities and intuitive gift for reading people—traits she says run in her father's family. Currently residing in Arizona among the red rocks, she speaks about feeling connected to nature and using her intuition to guide both her personal and professional decisions. She remains close with her fan base through social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Cameo, where she maintains genuine connections with supporters.
Legendary actor Ed Begley Jr. joins hosts Neil Haley and Greg Hannah to discuss his journey from Hollywood icon to environmental entrepreneur. The son of renowned actor Ed Begley Sr., Ed reflects on his early acting career, beginning with his first role on "My Three Sons" in 1967 when he kept his makeup on after filming, hoping for recognition. He candidly admits he was "clueless" starting out, delivering newspapers on his bicycle while pursuing acting work. His breakthrough came with "Room 222," where he finally felt comfortable in front of the camera, though he later realized being merely "comfortable" wasn't enough—great actors like Joaquin Phoenix and Meryl Streep always have something compelling happening beneath the surface. His six-year run on "St. Elsewhere" came from a script better than any feature film he'd worked on at the time, proving that sometimes not getting what you want leads to something far better.
Willie and Corey Robertson, beloved stars of Duck Dynasty, joined hosts Neil Haley and Kim Sorrelle for an inspiring conversation about their journey from reality TV fame to producing meaningful entertainment. The couple, now grandparents to seven with another on the way, shared intimate details about their bustling family life and their latest project, "The Blind," a powerful film about Willie's parents, Phil and Kay Robertson. Through their conversation, the Robertsons revealed how their commitment to authenticity and faith has shaped not only their family legacy but also their approach to creating content that resonates with audiences seeking hope and redemption.The heart of the discussion centered on "The Blind," which tells the raw, unvarnished story of Phil and Kay Robertson's marriage during its darkest period. Willie and Corey explained the difficulty of bringing such personal family pain to the screen, noting that Phil himself said he was "embarrassed" by that time in his life. The film depicts Phil's struggles with alcoholism and the near-collapse of their marriage—a stark contrast to the loving family dinners that became iconic on Duck Dynasty. Corey emphasized that Phil and Kay agreed to share their story because "if it helps someone else, if it can help their marriage or if it can help their family stay together or if it can help someone who has really lost all hope," it would be worth revisiting that painful past.Willie reflected on how the family dinner scenes in Duck Dynasty carried deeper meaning because of his parents' journey. "There was a time when he wasn't" sitting at the head of the table, Willie explained, adding that the show represented "the good of what happened by this painful stuff in the past." The couple discussed how authenticity became the cornerstone of their brand, with people seeing themselves and their own family dynamics reflected in the Robertson family. This genuine approach extended beyond entertainment, as Corey shared how countless families told them they began having intentional dinners together and saying prayers because of the show's influence.The conversation took a personal turn when Kim Sorrell shared her own transformational journey with love after losing her husband to pancreatic cancer. Willie responded by pointing to 1 Corinthians 13 as their foundation for understanding love, crediting the love Christ showed as the model they try to implement in their lives. He praised Kay's deep love for committing to her marriage for 10 years during the difficult times, noting it was "love for not just Phil, which was probably waning at the time, but it was the love for us, for her children, knowing that it would be best if we stayed together." This commitment to love and family, rooted in their faith, became the through-line connecting their past struggles to their present success.Willie and Corey closed by encouraging people to pre-purchase tickets for "The Blind" at theblindmovie.com, explaining that early ticket sales help independent films secure more theater locations. Their mission through Tread Lively Productions continues to be creating entertainment that is "positive and wholesome and has elements of faith in it and hope and love," addressing what they believe the world is yearning for. The Robertsons' willingness to share both their family's triumphs and darkest moments demonstrates their commitment to helping others find redemption, proving that transformation is possible when faith, love, and family remain at the center.
In this episode, host Neil Haley sits down with Teresa Knox, owner and curator of the iconic Church Studio in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Knox shares the remarkable story of how she impulsively purchased the historic building nearly a decade ago, transforming what was once Leon Russell's private recording sanctuary into a thriving community hub. The 110-year-old former Methodist church, which Russell converted into a recording studio in 1972, has been meticulously restored over six and a half years. Today, it serves not only as a fully operational analog and digital recording facility but also as a music museum housing a 6,000-piece archive, an audio engineering school, and a major tourist destination that welcomes thousands of visitors annually.Knox discusses the studio's legendary past, when artists like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, J.J. Cale, Willie Nelson, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Wonder recorded within its walls during the 1970s. She explains how the studio continues to attract contemporary artists including Taj Mahal (who won a Grammy for an album recorded there), Kenny Loggins, Elle King, and Tedeschi Trucks Band. The conversation explores Tulsa's rich musical heritage, from Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys to its position as the epicenter of Route 66, and how the Church Studio's unique "vibe"—combining historic atmosphere with museum-quality vintage equipment—continues to inspire musicians. Knox also reveals her extensive research process for documenting the building's complete history in her book, having interviewed approximately 400 people to preserve stories that had never been formally recorded.
Former two-time heavyweight boxing champion Riddick Bowe joins Dr. Christopher Hall and Neil Haley to share his remarkable journey from a Brooklyn kid inspired by Muhammad Ali to becoming the only boxer to hold championship titles in all four major sanctioning bodies. Bowe recounts the pivotal moment that launched his boxing career—a classroom fight with a bully who insulted Muhammad Ali, which led to his expulsion and Bowe being invited to the gym by a teacher who recognized his fighting spirit. The six-foot-five heavyweight champion reflects on his Olympic silver medal experience, describing it as a young kid having fun while representing "the greatest country in the world." He discusses his professional dominance with 66 knockouts and shares insights about his rivalry-turned-friendship with Evander Holyfield, whom he was the first boxer to knock down, noting they were former sparring partners before their professional bouts.The conversation takes an entertaining turn as Bowe and the six-foot-ten, 300-pound Haley engage in playful banter about a potential pro wrestling match, with Bowe surprising everyone by revealing his childhood love of wrestling and knowledge of legends like Andre the Giant, Chief Jay Strongbow, and "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka. Bowe explains that he knew wrestling before he knew boxing, making the challenge even more intriguing. The champion also announces his transition into acting, revealing he's been working on projects including a show called "Graves" and an animated series, fulfilling a childhood dream inspired by watching "Bewitched" and other sitcoms with his mother. Most exciting for boxing fans, Bowe confirms his comeback with a celebrity boxing match scheduled for February, stating he's already been training and jokes that whoever he fights "ain't gonna have too much fun." Despite being away from the ring for 20 years, the 53-year-old champion expresses genuine excitement about returning to the sport he loves, promising to put on a show while acknowledging the rigorous training required to prepare properly.
Actor PJ Byrne joins Neil Haley to discuss his multifaceted career and the challenges of raising six children during the pandemic. Known for his work in everything from Wall Street and The Boys to voicing characters in The Legend of Korra, Byrne reflects on how his diverse fanbase recognizes him from different projects depending on the demographic. He candidly describes his career typecasting as "anything but the handsome guy," which has ironically given him the freedom to play an incredibly wide range of characters—from jerks and murderers to best buddies and geniuses. The conversation takes a nostalgic turn when Byrne and Haley discover their shared connection to professional wrestling, with Haley revealing he was a wrestler in Germany before The Rock became famous.The discussion shifts to Byrne's latest project, "The World Without You," a film exploring how military families cope with devastating loss after a loved one is killed while reporting in the Middle East. Byrne explains his character's aggressive nature and how family dynamics allow actors to authentically shift from zero to ten emotionally without warm-up, making for compelling dramatic moments. He also opens up about his dream roles—wanting to appear in war movies or futuristic space films with big action sequences. Throughout the conversation, Byrne credits his wife, a tough Italian woman from Connecticut who works as an event planner for nonprofits, as the best partner he could ask for, emphasizing their teamwork approach to balancing his acting career with their large family life.
On The Neil Haley Show, host Neil Haley sits down with filmmaker Nick Davis to discuss his powerful new documentary about non-Jewish rescuers during the Holocaust. The conversation explores how ordinary people across Europe risked their lives to save Jewish families during one of history's darkest periods. Davis shares the journey of bringing these untold stories to light, revealing a side of Holocaust history that many, including history majors like Haley himself, had never fully understood.Davis explains how he discovered the project through transcripts of interviews with rescuers from across Europe who had independently helped Jewish families escape persecution. These were ordinary people who acted without organization or networks, simply responding with humanity when someone knocked on their door asking for help. The filmmaker was struck by how these pockets of goodness emerged within a sea of evil, with people sheltering children, hiding families, and risking execution for themselves and their loved ones. Davis notes that while he had heard of Oscar Schindler, the breadth of individual heroism documented in these transcripts was revelatory.The documentary takes an unusual approach by examining the period before Hitler came to power, showing how antisemitism built gradually through exclusionary policies like segregated park benches and restaurants. Davis, through character voices including Martha Plimpton's, emphasizes how dividing people based on accidents of birth leads down a dangerous slope. The film uses color footage from the 1930s and 1940s of ordinary European life to make the history feel immediate and relevant, helping viewers understand that people living through those times couldn't see what was coming any more than we can predict our own future.To bring these stories to life, Davis assembled an extraordinary cast including Dame Helen Mirren, Jeremy Irons, F. Murray Abraham, and Carrie Coon, who collectively hold five Academy Awards. The breakthrough came when Mirren agreed to participate, opening the floodgates for other acclaimed actors. Davis explains that Helen Mirren's character speaks to a crucial motivation for the film: countering Holocaust denial by ensuring these witness testimonies are preserved and heard. The stellar performances elevate the material, making viewers contemplate what they would do in similar circumstances.The film opens Friday, December 6th at Cinema Village in New York before its nationwide VOD release on March 31st, 2026, on platforms including Amazon Prime and iTunes. Davis hopes audiences will reflect on our divided world and recognize how arbitrary team divisions can be, whether based on birth, politics, or other factors. The documentary ultimately celebrates shared humanity and asks viewers to consider how they might respond when someone different from them needs help—a question that remains urgently relevant today.
In this powerful episode, hosts Neil Haley and Sherrie Price-Clark sit down with Bazzel Baz, a former Marine and CIA operative turned child rescue advocate and founder of the Association for the Recovery of Children. Baz shares the profound origin story of his mission, tracing it back to 1993 in Mogadishu, Somalia, where he and his CIA ground branch team discovered two young girls hiding under debris during the Black Hawk Down era. That life-changing encounter led him to discover that 250,000 American children were missing at the time, with law enforcement lacking the resources, training, and communication infrastructure to address the crisis. By 1996, Baz made the extraordinary decision to leave the CIA and dedicate his life to rescuing children, establishing what is believed to be the longest-running anti-child trafficking NGO in the United States.Throughout the conversation, Baz reveals the staggering scope of child sex trafficking in America, emphasizing that the United States is the largest buyer of child sexual exploitation material in the world. He discusses his organization's remarkable 100% success rate over 34 years of operations, explaining their volunteer-based structure and covert rescue methods that prioritize operational security. Baz addresses the cross-pollination of child trafficking with drug cartels, terrorism, and weapons smuggling, while highlighting the complicity of previous administrations and the challenges facing current efforts to combat these crimes. He passionately advocates for the death penalty for child rapists, noting recent legislative victories in states like Florida, Alabama, and Idaho. The episode concludes with information about the organization's six-day "Fight Child Trafficking" equipping course available at recoveryofchildren.com, which trains citizens in rescue operations and their legal rights to protect children.
