The hour begins with television icon Marion Ross, beloved worldwide as “Mrs. C” from the legendary sitcom Happy Days. Marion reflects on how the show transformed her life — professionally, financially, and personally — and why working with the same cast every day built a true family bond that lasted decades. She shares candid memories about navigating early tension with Tom Bosley, celebrating the success of her castmates, and cherishing the opportunity to portray one of television’s most memorable moms. Marion also opens up about her memoir, My Days: Happy and Otherwise, admitting she originally resisted writing it until her son and co-writer “tied her to a chair” — figuratively — and recorded her stories, which preserved a lifetime of Hollywood history.
Marion recounts her post–Happy Days career highlights, including roles on Brooklyn Bridge, The Drew Carey Show, and even voicing a character in SpongeBob SquarePants. She recalls sharing the stage with legends like Claudette Colbert, Lauren Bacall, and Noel Coward, and she describes the joy of traveling the country doing book signings and meeting fans who grew up watching her. Now retired but full of energy, Marion says her goal is simple: enjoy life, celebrate her career, and connect with the people who have loved her work for generations.
Next, Neil welcomes Latoyia R. Morgan, author of the children’s poetry collection September Hues. Latoyia explains how her daughter inspired the book through their nightly “Tori Tales,” imaginative bedtime stories in which her daughter participated as the hero. A lifelong poet, Latoyia rediscovered her passion when she found her old teenage journals filled with heartfelt poems about joy, love, sadness, and everyday life. The cover and interior imagery of September Hues come from actual photos of her daughter playing in autumn leaves—moments that sparked the poem that became the heart of the book. Latoyia discusses her love of the fall season, the beauty of nature, and the emotional storytelling behind her poetry. She reveals she is now developing a young-adult novel centered around four girls named after the seasons, exploring friendship, love, hardship, and growth through a teen lens.
Latoyia also talks about stepping into the world of publishing, the joy of sharing her work publicly for the first time, and the excitement of encouraging young readers to explore poetry and imagination. She hopes her writing inspires creativity and emotional expression in children and teens. Her daughter remains her biggest supporter — eager to help at book events, appear in photos, and motivate her mother to expand into new forms of storytelling, including novels and live readings for schools and libraries.
The show concludes with Pura Regalado, author of Pure Gift: The Second Coming of Jesus, who delivers one of the most intense and controversial interviews of the hour. Pura describes vivid spiritual experiences that she believes were direct encounters with Jesus, recounting visions, numerology patterns, and messages she feels called to share with the world. She discusses her interpretation of Carl Jung’s collective unconscious, the battle between good and evil, and what she believes is the true meaning behind biblical teachings on purgatory, reincarnation, judgment, and the “lake of fire.” Pura connects these insights to world events and critiques long-standing religious doctrines, asserting that many traditions are built on false beliefs she was sent to correct.
Together, the three conversations create a rich episode layered with nostalgia, creativity, and spiritual intensity. Marion Ross brings warmth and Hollywood history, Latoyia R. Morgan brings family-rooted creativity and the fresh voice of a rising children’s author, and Pura Regalado brings a provocative and deeply personal spiritual narrative. It’s an hour that moves from TV legacy to poetic inspiration to metaphysical revelation — classic Neil Haley: diverse, bold, and unforgettable.
