The Neil Haley Show Featuring Steven Weber, Dr. Gilda Carle, Mitchell S. Karnes, Dr. Rami Geffner, and Dr. W. Craig Noblett

Neil opened the Total Celebrity segment with a throwback interview from the COVID era featuring actor Steven Weber, star of NBC's Indebted opposite Fran Drescher. Steven shared how his character Stu Klein is a devil-may-care, deeply in love husband and father whose poor financial decisions force him and Debbie to move in with their grown children, played by Adam Pally and Abby Elliott. He praised Fran as authentic, gorgeous, funny, and grounded, and noted they grew up in the same part of Queens. Steven and Neil bantered about how the show mirrors what many families experienced during the pandemic with multiple generations under one roof. Neil expressed his fandom for Steven's earlier work on Wings and 13 Reasons Why.Two Gilda Gram segments followed with Dr. Gilda Carle. The first tackled a headline that "Porn is warping our lives, admit Gen Z men," a topic she covers in her book Real Men Don't Go Woke. Dr. Gilda warned that porn addiction creates fantasy expectations that real women cannot match, leaving men unable to perform and trapped in isolation. She highlighted the app Quittr, which has now hit two million downloads from young men trying to break the habit. Her second Gilda Gram walked through "Five Laws That Secretly Control Your Life": Murphy's Law, Kidlin's Law, Gilbert's Law, Wilson's Law, and Falkland's Law, the last reinforcing her own favorite Gilda Gram, "If in doubt, do without."

Visit MitchellSKarnesAuthor.com.Neil then welcomed Dr. Rami Geffner, author of 20 Reasons Why People Dump Each Other In Marriage Or Romantic Relationships and 12 books on relationships, for a powerful conversation about why relationships fail. Dr. Geffner emphasized that society is not sensitized to relationships, urging couples to spend just 10 to 15 minutes a day with his books to build awareness. He listed the top reasons women leave: feeling unseen or unheard, lack of empathy, feeling like roommates, poor communication, and unequal labor. He matched it with the top five reasons men leave: feeling unappreciated and constantly criticized, lack of physical intimacy and affection, emotional distance, feeling that nothing is ever enough, and lack of respect or admiration. Dr. Geffner stressed that small daily expressions ("Honey, you look so beautiful," "Great job on that") and the absence of blame are the keys. His mission is decreasing American divorce rates and the collateral damage that follows.

Craig Noblett, president of the American Association of Endodontists, for May's Save Your Tooth Month. Dr. Noblett explained that nearly 80 percent of surveyed Americans would choose a root canal to save their natural tooth, and cited a recent King's College London study showing that timely, well-performed root canal treatment lowers risk for heart disease and diabetes. He encouraged twice-yearly dental visits, twice-daily brushing and flossing, and avoiding sticky sweets and chewing ice. Find a specialist at FindMyEndodontist.com.
