Dave Coulier brought his signature warmth to the conversation, discussing the phenomenal success of "Fuller House" on Netflix and his commitment to family-friendly entertainment. Coulier revealed that the show has become the top-rated program across all television, thanks to dedicated fans who never stopped watching the original "Full House" since its 1987 premiere on ABC. He explained how the show went straight into syndication in over 100 countries, creating a cross-generational fanbase where parents who watched the original now watch "Fuller House" with their children. The journey to Netflix wasn't straightforward—John Stamos and creator Jeff Franklin initially shopped "Fuller House" to various networks that turned them down, but Netflix conducted research showing the show would be a monster hit, and they were proven right. Coulier described the surreal experience of returning to Stage 24 at Warner Brothers, the exact same soundstage where they filmed the original series, noting that season two is "bigger and better" with tons of cameos from previous "Full House" cast members and surprise guests. He directed the Christmas episode titled "The Nutcracker," expressing gratitude to fans for embracing the show more overwhelmingly than anyone could have imagined.

Beyond his television success, Coulier emphasized his lifelong commitment to family entertainment and children's welfare through his "Cut It Out" ugly holiday sweater campaign. Partnering with HaHaHoliday.com, Coulier designed holiday sweaters where 90% of proceeds benefit ChildHelp, an organization that rehabilitates abused children. Introduced to ChildHelp by John Stamos years ago, Coulier has co-hosted their Christmas show and witnessed firsthand the transformative, "awe inspiring" work they do with abused children and their mentors, describing it as turning "your heart inside out." He explained that the ugly sweater phenomenon has become ubiquitous at holiday parties, making his sweater the perfect gift that allows people to participate in the festive trend while simultaneously supporting children in need. Coulier acknowledged that while his career path wasn't intentionally designed to focus on family entertainment, he embraced it wholeheartedly, describing himself humorously as "more of a glorified birthday clown" rather than a "hipster comedian." He takes pride in entertaining a wide demographic and providing laughter for entire families in what he acknowledges is "a crazy world right now," recognizing that kids need entertainment and joy in their lives, and if he can provide that for families through his work on "Fuller House," his children's books, and his music, then he's fulfilled his purpose.

Actor Morris Chestnut joined the show to reflect on his remarkable career journey, beginning with his breakthrough role in the iconic 1991 film "Boyz n the Hood." Chestnut shared how that film launched his career and continues to impact audiences decades later, recounting a touching moment when a co-star on "Rosewood" watched the movie for the first time and was so emotionally moved by his character's death scene that she remained affected throughout the entire workday. The enduring resonance of the film, which authentically portrayed life in certain neighborhoods during that era, stands as a testament to its cultural significance and Chestnut's powerful performance. This first major break, which came after he had done a television adaptation of "A Night on the Town" that earned him his SAG card, set the foundation for a successful career spanning over three decades.

Currently starring in the second season of Fox TV's "Rosewood," Chestnut plays a private pathologist who cleverly bends—but doesn't break—the rules to solve crimes and achieve justice. Working alongside the talented Lorraine Toussaint, whom he praised effusively as an amazing actress who elevates every scene, Chestnut described how his character has evolved over the show's 22-episode seasons. Initially prone to breaking rules and sticking out "like a sore thumb" at crime scenes, Rosewood has learned to blend more seamlessly with the police department while maintaining his characteristically optimistic view of people. However, recent storylines have challenged that optimism, particularly an episode where a woman he believed loved him actually robbed him, forcing his character to develop a more nuanced perspective on trust and human nature. Chestnut emphasized the importance of social media in modern entertainment, noting how he actively engages with fans across Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, recognizing that direct interaction has become an essential part of an actor's career in today's digital landscape.

In this powerful episode, hosts Neil Haley and Sherrie Price-Clark sit down with Bazzel Baz, a former Marine and CIA operative turned child rescue advocate and founder of the Association for the Recovery of Children. Baz shares the profound origin story of his mission, tracing it back to 1993 in Mogadishu, Somalia, where he and his CIA ground branch team discovered two young girls hiding under debris during the Black Hawk Down era. That life-changing encounter led him to discover that 250,000 American children were missing at the time, with law enforcement lacking the resources, training, and communication infrastructure to address the crisis. By 1996, Baz made the extraordinary decision to leave the CIA and dedicate his life to rescuing children, establishing what is believed to be the longest-running anti-child trafficking NGO in the United States.

Throughout the conversation, Baz reveals the staggering scope of child sex trafficking in America, emphasizing that the United States is the largest buyer of child sexual exploitation material in the world. He discusses his organization's remarkable 100% success rate over 34 years of operations, explaining their volunteer-based structure and covert rescue methods that prioritize operational security. Baz addresses the cross-pollination of child trafficking with drug cartels, terrorism, and weapons smuggling, while highlighting the complicity of previous administrations and the challenges facing current efforts to combat these crimes. He passionately advocates for the death penalty for child rapists, noting recent legislative victories in states like Florida, Alabama, and Idaho. The episode concludes with information about the organization's six-day "Fight Child Trafficking" equipping course available at recoveryofchildren.com, which trains citizens in rescue operations and their legal rights to protect children.

In this episode, host Neil Haley sits down with Teresa Knox, owner and curator of the iconic Church Studio in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Knox shares the remarkable story of how she impulsively purchased the historic building nearly a decade ago, transforming what was once Leon Russell's private recording sanctuary into a thriving community hub. The 110-year-old former Methodist church, which Russell converted into a recording studio in 1972, has been meticulously restored over six and a half years. Today, it serves not only as a fully operational analog and digital recording facility but also as a music museum housing a 6,000-piece archive, an audio engineering school, and a major tourist destination that welcomes thousands of visitors annually.

Knox discusses the studio's legendary past, when artists like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, J.J. Cale, Willie Nelson, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Wonder recorded within its walls during the 1970s. She explains how the studio continues to attract contemporary artists including Taj Mahal (who won a Grammy for an album recorded there), Kenny Loggins, Elle King, and Tedeschi Trucks Band. The conversation explores Tulsa's rich musical heritage, from Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys to its position as the epicenter of Route 66, and how the Church Studio's unique "vibe"—combining historic atmosphere with museum-quality vintage equipment—continues to inspire musicians. Knox also reveals her extensive research process for documenting the building's complete history in her book, having interviewed approximately 400 people to preserve stories that had never been formally recorded.

On The Neil Haley Show, host Neil Haley sits down with filmmaker Nick Davis to discuss his powerful new documentary about non-Jewish rescuers during the Holocaust. The conversation explores how ordinary people across Europe risked their lives to save Jewish families during one of history's darkest periods. Davis shares the journey of bringing these untold stories to light, revealing a side of Holocaust history that many, including history majors like Haley himself, had never fully understood.

Davis explains how he discovered the project through transcripts of interviews with rescuers from across Europe who had independently helped Jewish families escape persecution. These were ordinary people who acted without organization or networks, simply responding with humanity when someone knocked on their door asking for help. The filmmaker was struck by how these pockets of goodness emerged within a sea of evil, with people sheltering children, hiding families, and risking execution for themselves and their loved ones. Davis notes that while he had heard of Oscar Schindler, the breadth of individual heroism documented in these transcripts was revelatory.

The documentary takes an unusual approach by examining the period before Hitler came to power, showing how antisemitism built gradually through exclusionary policies like segregated park benches and restaurants. Davis, through character voices including Martha Plimpton's, emphasizes how dividing people based on accidents of birth leads down a dangerous slope. The film uses color footage from the 1930s and 1940s of ordinary European life to make the history feel immediate and relevant, helping viewers understand that people living through those times couldn't see what was coming any more than we can predict our own future.

To bring these stories to life, Davis assembled an extraordinary cast including Dame Helen Mirren, Jeremy Irons, F. Murray Abraham, and Carrie Coon, who collectively hold five Academy Awards. The breakthrough came when Mirren agreed to participate, opening the floodgates for other acclaimed actors. Davis explains that Helen Mirren's character speaks to a crucial motivation for the film: countering Holocaust denial by ensuring these witness testimonies are preserved and heard. The stellar performances elevate the material, making viewers contemplate what they would do in similar circumstances.

The film opens Friday, December 6th at Cinema Village in New York before its nationwide VOD release on March 31st, 2026, on platforms including Amazon Prime and iTunes. Davis hopes audiences will reflect on our divided world and recognize how arbitrary team divisions can be, whether based on birth, politics, or other factors. The documentary ultimately celebrates shared humanity and asks viewers to consider how they might respond when someone different from them needs help—a question that remains urgently relevant today.

Former two-time heavyweight boxing champion Riddick Bowe joins Dr. Christopher Hall and Neil Haley to share his remarkable journey from a Brooklyn kid inspired by Muhammad Ali to becoming the only boxer to hold championship titles in all four major sanctioning bodies. Bowe recounts the pivotal moment that launched his boxing career—a classroom fight with a bully who insulted Muhammad Ali, which led to his expulsion and Bowe being invited to the gym by a teacher who recognized his fighting spirit. The six-foot-five heavyweight champion reflects on his Olympic silver medal experience, describing it as a young kid having fun while representing "the greatest country in the world." He discusses his professional dominance with 66 knockouts and shares insights about his rivalry-turned-friendship with Evander Holyfield, whom he was the first boxer to knock down, noting they were former sparring partners before their professional bouts.

The conversation takes an entertaining turn as Bowe and the six-foot-ten, 300-pound Haley engage in playful banter about a potential pro wrestling match, with Bowe surprising everyone by revealing his childhood love of wrestling and knowledge of legends like Andre the Giant, Chief Jay Strongbow, and "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka. Bowe explains that he knew wrestling before he knew boxing, making the challenge even more intriguing. The champion also announces his transition into acting, revealing he's been working on projects including a show called "Graves" and an animated series, fulfilling a childhood dream inspired by watching "Bewitched" and other sitcoms with his mother. Most exciting for boxing fans, Bowe confirms his comeback with a celebrity boxing match scheduled for February, stating he's already been training and jokes that whoever he fights "ain't gonna have too much fun." Despite being away from the ring for 20 years, the 53-year-old champion expresses genuine excitement about returning to the sport he loves, promising to put on a show while acknowledging the rigorous training required to prepare properly.

Actor PJ Byrne joins Neil Haley to discuss his multifaceted career and the challenges of raising six children during the pandemic. Known for his work in everything from Wall Street and The Boys to voicing characters in The Legend of Korra, Byrne reflects on how his diverse fanbase recognizes him from different projects depending on the demographic. He candidly describes his career typecasting as "anything but the handsome guy," which has ironically given him the freedom to play an incredibly wide range of characters—from jerks and murderers to best buddies and geniuses. The conversation takes a nostalgic turn when Byrne and Haley discover their shared connection to professional wrestling, with Haley revealing he was a wrestler in Germany before The Rock became famous.

The discussion shifts to Byrne's latest project, "The World Without You," a film exploring how military families cope with devastating loss after a loved one is killed while reporting in the Middle East. Byrne explains his character's aggressive nature and how family dynamics allow actors to authentically shift from zero to ten emotionally without warm-up, making for compelling dramatic moments. He also opens up about his dream roles—wanting to appear in war movies or futuristic space films with big action sequences. Throughout the conversation, Byrne credits his wife, a tough Italian woman from Connecticut who works as an event planner for nonprofits, as the best partner he could ask for, emphasizing their teamwork approach to balancing his acting career with their large family life.
