In a Celebrity Interviews segment co-hosted by Greg Hanna, Neil welcomes actress Cindy Busby to discuss her holiday film Christmas Wrapped in Love, where she plays Natasha, a professional gift buyer who discovers that meaningful gifts come from the heart, not the price tag. Busby, a self-described Christmas lover, shares the fun of playing the “fake couple” trope opposite longtime friend Marcus Rosner and her belief that good acting means finding truth in every moment. She previews the final stretch of filming on When Hope Calls Season 4, where she plays Nora, and reflects on how reaching Netflix, Great American Family, and Great American Pure Flix has expanded her shows to international audiences, much like her early series Heartland. She also discusses her passion for animal rescue, inspired by her rescue dog Susie. Christmas Wrapped in Love premieres December 17 on Great American Pure Flix and Great American Family.Next, Neil talks with Trina Taylor and Nina Scoffone of Team Moms, the Kim Kardashian–produced Paramount+ reality series following baseball families at Legendary Prep Academy. They share how the show began after their sons’ standout play attracted producers and how, unlike many reality shows, it focuses on the whole family, moms, dads, and boys pursuing their dreams rather than manufactured drama. They reflect on entering reality TV, Kardashian’s business instincts, the growing high-stakes world of youth sports, and how production protected the kids. Team Moms is available on Paramount+; find Trina as Mrs. Trina Taylor and Nina on social media.In a recurring simulcast of the Gilda Gram podcast, Neil and educator Dr. Gilda Carle discuss several headlines. She addresses parents’ calls for greater accountability and better learning in public schools, drawing on her years teaching in New York City. She also shares her belief that confidence and self-worth come from within, a theme explored in her audiobook Real Men Don’t Go Woke. She closes with comments on Chris Rock. These are her personal opinions on cultural issues. The segment runs to the top of the hour and cuts off. Find her at DrGilda.com.Neil then speaks with author Mitchell S. Karnes about his Abbey Road mystery series and the strong reception of his latest release, Water Grave, a Brave Authors collaboration climbing the Amazon charts and heading to retail shelves. He previews the fifth book, Closure, and a sixth set aboard a cruise in the Agatha Christie whodunit tradition. Karnes, a former pastor, counselor, and teacher, explains how each book explores different styles and themes, while his flawed heroine Abby, carrying a difficult past, keeps readers engaged with real-life subject matter. He also shares updates on the series adaptation moving toward production.

Gold explains how people in treatment may settle for feeling somewhat better while still experiencing symptoms affecting sleep, appetite, energy, and interest. She emphasizes recognizing these ongoing struggles and discussing them with a healthcare provider. She also shares self-reflection exercises and a care-team conversation guide available on the campaign website to help people prepare and advocate for themselves. Her discussion offers professional insights and awareness, not individualized medical advice. Those struggling are encouraged to seek support from a trusted provider.
