It's hard not to associate Jerry O'Connell with his role as young Vern in 1986's “Stand by Me,” or as one of the current hosts of “The Talk.” But over the last four decades, he's made quite an impression in horror. Tune in to hear stories about making so many memorable genre films — like playing Neve Campbell's love interest in “Scream 2” and the reaction he got to that unforgettable singing scene, working with the Director of “Piranha 3D” on molding a certain appendage, and the horror films he (as a fan) truly loves.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4654832/advertisement

Host Jodie Sweetin is joined by Amy McCarthy, Director of Social Work for the Adolescent Substance Use and Addiction Program (ASAP) at Boston Children's Hospital; Bob Sabouni Executive Producer of Awkward Conversations and actor and directorJake Busey.  Someday your child will ask you if you used drugs. What will you say when that question comes your way? Does genetics play a part in the predisposition to drug abuse? Today our panel discusses these questions and more on Awkward Conversations. Don't miss this episode.    IN THIS EPISODE: [00:00] Season One clip of conversation between parents deciding how much to tell their children about their drug experimentation.   [02:21] Clinical findings on the effect a parent's past drug use has on a child [03:33] Programs designed for the family or friend of an abuser and accepting the fact that addiction is a medical condition [10:12] The struggle of what to say to your child [16:26] Being honest with your child without laying out details [19:45] Bottom line advice KEY TAKEAWAYS: The drugs available today are far different than those 15 or 20 years ago.  They were  terrible for you and detrimental to your health.  Today the drugs on the streets can kill you. Parents don't have all the answers.  It is ok to tell your child that you will research their question when you don't know the answer.  Then do the research and understand why drug use is detrimental so you can give your child reasons. One pill can kill! It doesn't matter whether a parent did or didn't do drugs.  The pills today can kill. A child can make better choices when he has truthful information.   ***DISCLAIMER***The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Awkward Conversation series are solely those of the individuals, speakers, commentators, experts, and or hosts involved and do not necessarily reflect nor represent those of the production, associates or broadcaster, or any of its employees.

Jodie is joined by Content Expert Amy McCarthy, a Senior Clinical Social Worker at Boston Children's Hospital. Amy McCarthy, LICSW, is the Director of Social Work for the Adolescent Substance Use and Addiction Program (ASAP) at Boston Children's Hospital, where she provides direct clinical and programmatic support. Additionally, Amy has extensive experience working in community-based settings providing care to young people with complex mental health needs and their families. As the former director of the Boston-Suffolk County Family Resource Center, she worked with an abundance of community partners to ensure residents had access to vital resources to meet basic needs and beyond. Amy received her Bachelor's Degree in Social Work (BSW) from Siena College and earned a Master's Degree in Social Work (MSW) from Wheelock College Jake Busey spent his childhood in sunny southern California, as well as a plethora of film sets around the country. His childhood was similar to a "military brat", a series of strung-together extended-stay location shoots, alternating with tours on the road with his father's various bands and associates. In a world of gypsies & artists, spending many years on tour buses and side-stage-studying such acts as Willie Nelson, Leon Russell, Little Feat, the Band, and Fleetwood Mac, Jake found his passion for music and performing live. Busey entered the industry at the age of 5 in his first motion picture, Dustin Hoffman's opus, "Straight Time" (1977), playing Son to his father and Cathy Bates. After finishing high school at Crossroads School and college in Santa Barbara, Jake returned to L.A to study the craft of acting for film seriously. He started auditioning at 20yrs old and booked his first role in a PBS film, "Shimmer," shot on location in Iowa. Slowly but surely, bit parts playing supporting characters in independent films would follow. After a few years of hard work and little returns, He was Cast as the villain in Showtimes "rebel highway series" Motorcycle Gang by Director John Milius. The film was part of an eight-film series and drew great attention amongst the "up and coming actor" buzz of Hollywood. He made his true debut on the big screen in 1994 alongside Stephen Dorff and Reese Witherspoon in the grind house grunge film "SFW," but that Buzz caught the eye of Robert Zemekis & Peter Jackson, which led jake to star opposite Michael J. Fox in the Frighteners. .soon after wrapping, big changes came from a 3-page monologue about religion vs. science when he landed "Contact" with Jodi Foster and Matthew McConnaghey. Then "Enemy of the State", then Vince Gilligan scribed "Home Fries," and most memorably as the smart-mouthed Private Ace Levy in the Sci-Fi cult classic "Starship Troopers." Jake was a force to be reckoned with in the late 1990s A-list film market. Then in the early 21st century, after the great success of "Identity," Jake took some risks with projects, and leaps of faith, stepping up into starring roles in such studio disasters as "Tomcats" and "the First 20 Million is always the hardest", Films hyped to glory among the Hollywood machine, which failed miserably, and left him needing to reassess his position. It was time for a break. Some time away was needed.   After a few-year hiatus from acting as he pursued directing films, "road-tripping" the country, and playing in his band around Hollywood, he was ready for his come-back. Jake blasted onscreen as a pyrotechnic specialist in the final season of FX's hit series "Justified", leaving many an audience member aghast, having thought he was a solid new addition to the show...alas, just a masterfully crafted cameo, blowing up in 30 seconds. When Robert Rodriguez cast him as the new Sex Machine for all three seasons of "From Dusk Till Dawn, Things started heating up again. In The History Channel mini-series "Texas Rising," Busey plays Samuel Wallace, the man credited with reciting the legendary warning, "Remember the Alamo!" directed by Roland Joffe.   His recent projects include "Mr. Robot", and Stranger Things", Showtime's "Ray Donovan," CBS television's "NCIS" Episode 346(1516), ABC's "Marvels agents of S.H.E.I.L.D.., Episode 513 & 519, and in the summer of 2018, he made his return to the summer tent-pole event scene with 20th Century Fox's "the_Predator".   A bit of a modern-day Renaissance man, Jake's passions in life includes fatherhood, acting, desert racing, architecture, playing music, flying planes when necessary, and fabricating anything mechanical in his metal shop.  

Host Jodie Sweetin is joined by Amy McCarthy, Dr. Aida Balsano, Director for Prevention Communications and Public Engagement at the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, and Robert Vincent, Associate Administrator for Alcohol Prevention and Treatment Policy at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Ultimately our goal is to help parents have“The Talk.” If it hasn't happened yet, then let's be prepared…if it has, how did it go? If you screwed it up, no worries. Let's figure out how to get it right. But, on the other hand, if you feel it went well, take this as a reminder that the talk is not a one-off, let's figure out what's next in this constant battle to keep those we love more than life itself safe! Today our panel discusses the consequences of substance abuse. Learn why explaining the “why” is essential when talking to your child. IN THIS EPISODE: [00:00] Overview of The Talk - Part 2 [01:46] The knowledge your child has regarding drugs may be faulty [05:49] How does a parent cope with feelings of betrayal and dishonesty? Should there be  consequences for bad behavior [10:18] The importance of telling a child why this behavior is bad for them [12:54] How the drugs have changed over the years [19:36] Upcoming episode of Awkward Conversations KEY TAKEAWAYS: Kids don't look at the consequences of drug use. They don't frame it as health, wellness, or well-being. Instead, they only think about the future and need to hear why drugs harm them. Parents need to be listening and present.  A “behavior contract,” or reward and consequences, should be clear to everyone. Likewise, there should be inevitable consequences for certain behaviors.  The potency of drugs has changed.  They are more potent than they have ever been.  And the sad thing about that fact is that the wrong pill can kill.     ***DISCLAIMER***The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Awkward Conversation series are solely those of the individuals, speakers, commentators, experts, and or hosts involved and do not necessarily reflect nor represent those of the production, associates or broadcaster, or any of its employees.

SHOW NOTES: Host Jodie Sweetin is joined by Amy McCarthy, Dr. Aida Balsano, Special Assistant to the Director of the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention and Robert Vincent, Associate Administrator for Alcohol Prevention and Treatment Policy at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Ultimately our goal is to help parents have “The Talk.” In this episode, we will discuss keeping the child's dignity intact while assisting them through difficult situations.  Separating what the child's behavior is and your love for the child can be hard when tempers are raging.   We will share tips on overcoming these situations and how to make “The Talk” beneficial to the child and not detrimental to your relationship.    IN THIS EPISODE: [00:00] Show excerpt  [02:25] Admitting as the parent that we are not perfect.  We make mistakes and may have made an error even in the position taken in the current conversation [06:36]Dos and Don'ts of having the conversation about substance abuse [11:53]LGBTQ children and the approach a parent takes [16:11] Anger and crisis mode versus compassion and empathy [18:24] Coming up on the next episode of Awkward Conversations   KEY TAKEAWAYS: Give your child a chance to participate in the “Talk.”  Don't direct the conversation at them but give both parent and child opportunities to voice their opinion.  There are cultural differences when there are age differences. Ensure that the child understands what you are communicating.  Don't assume you are on the same page. Don't lecture.  The goal is to keep the conversation going.  Kids will turn off a lecture. Instead, encouraging further discussion leaves them confident they can discuss anything with the parent.       ***DISCLAIMER***The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Awkward Conversation series are solely those of the individuals, speakers, commentators, experts, and or hosts involved and do not necessarily reflect nor represent those of the production, associates or broadcaster, or any of its employees.

But, on the other hand, if you feel it went well, take this as a reminder that the talk is not a one-off, let's figure out what's next in this constant battle to keep those we love more than life itself safe!     In this episode, we will discuss the When and How's of talking with our kids about drugs and making smart choices.  IN THIS EPISODE: [00:00] Role play of child questioning the use of alcohol with parents [02:45] At what age should we have the “talk” regarding drugs and alcohol [04:18] Making the “talk” an opportunity rather than a conversation I “have” to have with my child [08:41] The research has shown kids want to have these conversations [11:50] Encouragement goes a long way [20:09] How to overcome the fear of having hard talks with your child   KEY TAKEAWAYS: The ideal conversation you can have with your child is non-threatening and non-confrontational. A parent's approach when discussing complex subjects with a child makes an enormous difference. It is ok to have quiet moments during talks with your kids.  Often both parties need time to reflect on what was said.  It is also ok as a parent not to have all the answers. Focus on the positive things in your child's life. Then, when it comes to young teens, ask lots of questions and be supportive as they try to find out who they are. ***DISCLAIMER***The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Awkward Conversation series are solely those of the individuals, speakers, commentators, experts, and or hosts involved and do not necessarily reflect nor represent those of the production, associates or broadcaster, or any of its employees.

I get asked a lot about how to talk to kids and teens about sex. Unfortunately, I can't make it less awkward for you, though if you're comfortable with your own sexuality first, that can help, but I can give you some points to make so that you and your child know exactly what sex is and what to think about when they want to have it. My hope for you is that this discussion can bring you and your child closer together rather than farther apart when it comes to sex, even if they choose to follow a different value system than your own.   The Harvey Institute

Ryan and Phylicia discuss ways to turn the tables on the subject that society has deemed awkward and uncomfortable and instead make "The Talk" an ongoing conversation with your children where you are their go-to source for information.   This conversation is more important now than ever because your children ARE curious and WILL learn this information from someone. If that someone isn't you, then you don't know whether or not (or how badly) their view on their body and sexuality is being twisted.

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast, we have another first. Our very first guest from all the way back in December 2020, is now our first ever encore episode of the podcast. Carnie Wilson's episode is the most listened to episode from our first season and 49 weeks later, we are together again for the first time. Carnie is one of the most honest and most positive and joyful guests we've ever had on the podcast. Perhaps it's because Carnie and Host Josh Mills went to the same elementary & middle schools together in the 1970s & 80s that this works so well. Maybe spending their growing up years together in Los Angeles makes this conversation about being a child of a celebrity so easy. But it's more than that too. With Carnie, what you see is what you get. Bold, brash, hysterical, loving, warm, kind and with an outlook on life that shines bright, it's a joy to hear Carnie talk on the podcast. Growing up the daughter of musical genius, Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys, we also learn about mother Marilyn Wilson (of The Honeys) who was the rock in her family. Nothing is off limits as we talk about everything from her love and hate relationship with food to her favorite moments introducing The Beach Boys onstage as a child, to her own recording career in Wilson Phillips with sister Wendy and Chynna Phillips, to her memories of Uncle's Carl Wilson & Dennis Wilson that makes this episode so great. Maybe it's the story about Elton John putting her to bed as a toddler. Or that her first crush literally came to her door to say hello.   Take a listen and decide for yourself on this encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast with Carnie Wilson. Everyone has a story.
