'Over The Hill' is a state of mind. So many people have accomplished amazing things after they turned 50, things that many people half their age couldn't even do! John Glenn went to space at 77. Grandma Moses started painting at 76. Colonel Sanders started KFC at 65. Diana Nyad swam from Cuba to Florida at 64. Dr. Ruth got her first sex talk show at 52. And the list goes on.

May this list inspire anyone who thinks they missed the boat. (The boat has not left. It's waiting for the Captain. Yes YOU)

Wellness Wednesday. The belly and the brain are linked! "Recent research has shown that our belly bacteria have an incredible impact on everything from fat loss and inflammation levels to perhaps even our susceptibility to depression and anxiety." Indigestion is a fairly well-known side effect of stress. (We've felt the Agida!) "But we're now learning that connection is a two-way street: The mind can affect the gut, and the gut can affect the mind." Shout out today on the show to this terrific piece by Greatist - "The Beginner’s Guide to Better Gut Health" By Sabrina Weiss and Nick English.

Royals & Revivals today on the show ...So How could I not mention 71 year old Candace Bergen (lookin' good) and her upcoming return in the revival of 'Murphy Brown'. My guest today, Diane Clehane will discuss this too, since she was involved with the original 'Murphy Brown' show back when. What's with the TV 'revival' phenomenon anyway ? (Roseanne - Will & Grace, etc.) Did somebody at the networks actually realize that the boomer generation (particularly women) want to see themselves reflected in the media more? Might this also be the only generation with any disposable income left these days? My thinking is the networks may have figured this trend as one way to lure boomer viewers away from 'on demand' networks .
'Which' advertisers sign on will be interesting to see. BTW...Bergen, also serves as an executive producer of the revival which will start shooting in July in New York, because her life and hubby are here now. The show was previously filmed in Burbank, California.

'Murphy Brown' tackled political issues of its day, and then-Vice President Dan Quayle referenced the show in a speech during the 1992 presidential campaign. In its 30th anniversary year, it will return "to a much-changed media landscape, where the characters will play in a world of cable news, social media, 'fake news,' and a different political and cultural climate," USA Today reports.

Diane Clehane is a New York Times best-selling author and award-winning journalist who reports on the lives of some of the world’s most intriguing people for Vanity Fair, Forbes, People and many other national publications.

"THE MOTHER Of ALL CHOCOLATE!" Heard of 'Ethel M?' She was a woman whose son loved her so much he named a whole line of chocolates after her! Now THAT's LOVE! Who was her son? None other than Forest E. Mars Sr.! (Yup of the chocolate Mars Family) Who Knew? Today Stu Haack, eCommerce Manager of 'Ethel M Chocolates' joins me at 10:21 eastern, live from Nevada to talk about good ol 'Ethel Mars', who over a century ago, taught her son Forrest how to make gourmet chocolate candy in her Tacoma kitchen. Forrest had a passion for it and continued to perfect his creations over the years. When Forrest retired he became 'bored' and decided to create Ethel M Chocolates in 1978, which opened in 1980. According to researcher J.G. Brenner, "Forrest established the venture in Nevada because it is one of the few states that allowed the sale of liqueur-filled cordials." (Wikipedia) Ha! I love this story. A great Mothers Day Gift idea for sure!

Ethel M Chocolates include: specialty, premium copper kettle caramels, exquisite truffles, luxurious Satin Crèmes®, signature Crème Liqueurs, or chewy and crunchy nut clusters.

You can visit their chocolate and candy stores when you're in the Las Vegas area, and you'll see how they produce chocolate fresh in the desert in Henderson, NV at their historic chocolate factory or you can order online and they'll ship it fresh directly to any door. You can send a traditional or e-gift card. They Never Expire! Redeemable at ethelm.com.
