The hour opens with a nostalgic and electric conversation as Neil welcomes Hollywood (Jeanne Bassone) from the original GLOW: Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. Hollywood shares behind-the-scenes secrets from the groundbreaking women’s wrestling show, explaining why GLOW was far ahead of its time with serialized storylines, comedy-driven characters, and a hybrid of wrestling and Hollywood-style production. She discusses early training with Mando Guerrero, the challenges of limited ring instruction after season one, and how she kept evolving as an athlete and performer. The two swap wrestler war stories, from protecting yourself in the ring to dealing with bad bumps and still loving the business decades later. Hollywood also talks about her 40 years in wrestling, her stunt work in film and TV, her Nashville-based soap company, and why kindness, gratitude, and connecting with fans keep her energized today.
Neil then shifts into business and wellness with an in-depth update from Mike Crook, highlighting LifeWave’s major promotional announcement: an all-expenses-paid trip to Waikiki Beach for qualifiers in May. Mike breaks down exactly how members can qualify through rank advancement, point accumulation, and helping partners do the same. He explains how simple the business model is — share your personal experience with the X39 stem cell activation patch, connect four serious partners, and let the system build through teamwork and duplication. Mike walks listeners through compensation, bonuses, binary earnings, and why LifeWave offers such a uniquely accessible income opportunity. He emphasizes that many qualifiers will easily earn an additional 10–20k in the process of winning the Hawaii trip.
In the third segment, author Susan Lintonsmith joins Neil for the Under The Couch Book Podcast. She shares how the holidays bring family memories to life — and how those very real sibling dynamics inspired her 12-book children’s fantasy series Under the Couch. Susan dives into the educational power of fantasy for reluctant readers, explaining how imaginative portals, mysteries, and dangers help kids practice bravery, emotional awareness, and problem-solving without real-world consequences. Teachers love the series because it naturally opens conversations about conflict, teamwork, fear, empathy, and resilience. She also shares classroom activity ideas, such as letting students create their own “under the couch” adventure or breaking down decision-making moments between brothers Spencer and Justin. The series remains a perfect blend of adventure, heart, and skill-building.
Next up, Neil sits with Jason Seale from No Sleeve Nation for a quick update on community voting and new merchandise. After a wildly successful round of member polling, Jason announces the launch of several highly requested men’s shirts — including the Stranger Things–inspired design, the “Forged in Pittsburgh” tee, and the black-and-gold skyline NSN logo drop. The community-driven apparel line reflects what NSN stands for: belonging, empowerment, and pride in transformation. Jason encourages listeners to jump onto the website quickly, as the releases are expected to sell fast with the holidays approaching.
Together, these segments create a vibrant and diverse second hour filled with nostalgia, business insight, family storytelling, community culture, and the authentic energy Neil brings to every conversation. Whether listeners tune in for wrestling history, wellness entrepreneurship, children’s literature, or lifestyle branding, this hour delivers something compelling, human, and highly engaging.
