The first episode of our new call-in show is here, and we have two callers who seemed to be totally unrelated: a new rancher in Texas, and a Swiftie with Cerebral Palsy in New York.
But (get your red string and your tinfoil hat) everything is connected! Especially us. 
That’s easy to forget when we’re constantly pushed to see each other as the enemy, and something we need to remember now more than ever.

My Boyfriend's Face Turned Demonic - Jim Harold's Campfire 691

This week, Kate reviews the PR “smear campaign” half of the complex legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, delving into the concept of astroturfing, its relevance to Amber Heard and Meghan Markle, and details the “he said/she said” of the PR warfare detailed in the lawsuits. Then, Kate interviews attorney/former litigator Alex Mack for some legal insights/clarifications about the case to ensure she’s not entirely off base when reading through so much legal paperwork.

Shannon Ricks joins us to explore why our relationships with our bodies became so complicated—and how we can work toward healthier ones. We dive into topics like food, weight, makeup, macro counting, cosmetic surgery, and even the impact of those middle school compliments we all remember.

Real Talk with Eamon & Bec: Relationship Struggles, Upcoming Travels & Eamon's Music Career

For many parents, having a child in daycare is just part of the daily routine.
And choosing a daycare provider for your child can be a pretty involved process. You obviously want to make sure the environment is safe and clean, with staff who are qualified, and that the ratio of caregivers to children is reasonable. And there are a ton of other things to consider, because you are trusting this place with your baby or your toddler – you have to be able to trust that they will make good decisions while caring for your child.
Kelli had two children in daycare, and she didn’t have any reason to not fully trust that they were both safe. Until one day when she was at work, and she got a phone call.
Also, partway through our conversation, I had a surprise for Kelli. She never saw it coming.
Note: This episode includes discussion about the death of a child.

202: Kelli got a call from daycare

Hello my beautiful angels. I'm so happy to be kicking off another 365 days with all of you. The new year is always a beautiful thing, filled with people not only have a bunch of goals, but them also shoving them down your throat and making sure you know they're about to be on top when summer comes around (this was my mindset lol). Well I started 2025 off strong, melting on my couch for 48 hour, ordering $100 worth of door dash, and texting my fav douchebag in the contact list.. To 2025, let's thrive baby.

I'm single again because dating is hard. In this episode I'm giving some context and a bit of backstory when it comes to my dating history. It's been a rough, and honestly pretty embarrassing journey for me thus far. And now, for the first time since 2021, I have an update! But unfortunately, it's not a positive one.

On Another Note,

Why is dating so hard? (I'm single again)


In the Trenches: The Journey of Robert Gallery from College Star to NFL Standout

Join Marcus and Melanie as they welcome Robert Gallery, former NFL offensive lineman, College Football Hall of Famer, and one of the most celebrated athletes to come out of the University of Iowa.
Robert’s football journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Starting as a tight end at Iowa, he transitioned to offensive tackle, paving the way for a stellar collegiate career. A two-time First-Team All-Big Ten selection, Robert was named Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year in 2003 and capped off his senior year with unanimous All-American honors and the prestigious Outland Trophy. His excellence extended off the field, earning him three Academic All-Big Ten awards.
In recognition of his remarkable contributions to the sport, Robert has been honored with multiple accolades:





College Football Hall of Fame: Inducted in 2023 at the 65th NFF Annual Awards Dinner.

University of Iowa Athletics Hall of Fame: Inducted in 2017.

Kinnick Wall of Honor: Added to Iowa’s America Needs Farmers Wall of Honor in 2015.

Drafted second overall by the Oakland Raiders in the 2004 NFL Draft, Robert embarked on an eight-season career in the NFL, playing for the Raiders and Seattle Seahawks. Over 104 games, he showcased his grit and leadership, earning the Ed Block Courage Award in 2010 and cementing his place as a force on the offensive line.
In this episode, Robert reflects on his incredible football career, the transformation of Iowa’s football program, and his experiences in the NFL. But the conversation goes deeper, exploring his journey after football and the life-changing healing he found through ibogaine.
For both Marcus and Robert, ibogaine offered a second chance—a path to healing they’re now sharing to inspire and support others who may feel lost or stuck. These raw, personal stories are a testament to resilience and the universal power of hope.
Tune in for an inspiring episode filled with life lessons, healing journeys, and a reminder that no matter the challenge, transformation is always possible.

In This Episode You Will Hear:
• My parents were very much like: “You do sports, or you work on the farm.” (9:55)
• Once my siblings started earning scholarships, and I saw what it did for them, I was like “I wanna do that.” (11:17)
• [The coaching staff] were just guys that wanted to get the best out of you. They were there to make you better. (14:25)
• [Melanie] Q: What do you think builds a great team?  A: I think it’s the people and the culture. (15:55)
• It’s that Midwest mentality. Work ethic, no show boating. It’s about being the best you can be, doing it the right way, and being good people. (17:02)
• I knew I needed my buddies next to me on the offensive line. For me to be great, I needed them to be great. (17:57)
• I kept working and working. And by the end of my college career, I was the best there was in the country. (25:34)
• Continue to work at wat you do to be a better all-around athlete. (25:39)
• I love how I was raised. My parents still married after 50 years. (26:57)
• I never had a sporting event that I ever remember from as young as I was in grade school, that one of my parents was not there. (38:25)
•  I worked so hard and sweated so much that you gotta go to the bathroom. One day I had to go to the bathroom real bad and the game was about to start. The only thing I could do was sit here and go. Go in your pants. I did it every game after that. (49:48)
• I got to where now I’m taking pain killers to get to practice. Now I’m asking my linemen what do we do? I’m dizzy. I’m not myself. (55:23)
• As time went on, things started to spiral: alcohol abuse. (63:08)
• I got a brain scan. That’s when they put up a picture of a healthy brain against a picture of my brain. It was shocking. (65:31)
• I started a journey of doing everything I could in modern medicine. (69:06)
• I took the invitation to take an Ibogaine treatment. (74:48)
• The treatment saved my life. I can out of it a different person. (76:30)

Robert Gallery: NFL Veteran’s Battle w/ Brain Injuries, Rock Bottom & Finding Life-Saving Treatment In Mexico

No matter the question, reading is the answer. And in a year starting off like 2025 is, we certainly need a lot of answers to life's questions.
I am thrilled to welcome fellow Angeleno bookworm Traci Thomas (host of The Stacks podcast) to talk about the most anticipated new book releases of 2025. We talk about novels and nonfiction by debut and beloved authors publishing this year and sorry not sorry about this conversation that will send your book budget soaring. There are so many good books to look forward to in the next six months.
Also in this episode, Traci really gives me a lot to think about in terms of how we talk about books and why it's okay to be publicly critical of books that don't work for us. As an author who is jumpy about that concept, Traci really shifted my perspective on this.

Cher has been a global star for over six decades. Her career has spanned music, television and film and throughout that time her outfits have made flamboyant fashion statements.

She moved in with Sonny as his housekeeper and personal assistant and began singing backing vocals for his boss, the music producer Phil Spector.  In 1965 Sonny and Cher released I Got You Babe which reached number one in the US and UK charts – knocking the Beatles off the top of the chart.Cher is an award-winning actor who has starred in films including Silkwood, Mask and Moonstruck.
