“Hollywood, Holiday Toys & Hard-Won Wisdom — Neil Haley Show (Jeanne Basone, Elizabeth Werner, & Art Phinney)”Neil opens the show flying solo without Greg Hand, but he starts strong with his first guest: Jeanne Marie Basone, known to wrestling fans worldwide as “Hollywood” from the original Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (G.L.O.W.). Neil shares his middle-school memories of staying up until 2–3 a.m. watching Hollywood with friends—never imagining he’d become a wrestler himself one day. Hollywood laughs and agrees with Neil’s take that G.L.O.W.’s early seasons were the true originals. She credits the show’s success to the partnership between promoter David McLane and director Matt Cimber, plus the early training they received from Mando Guerrero.Hollywood digs into the behind-the-scenes reality of G.L.O.W.’s four-season run—from the strong foundations of seasons 1–2 to the cast changes and declining training structure in seasons 3–4. Neil and Jeanne connect like two veterans comparing war stories. Neil shares his wrestling resume—trained by Charlie Fulton, working territories across the U.S., Canada, and Germany—while Hollywood explains how she adapted, matured as a heel, and kept her body intact for 40 years in the business. She also details her later career in stunt work, including roles behind Nicole Kidman, and her ongoing work through Hollywood Productions, plus her life split between Nashville and California.Next up is toy industry expert Elizabeth Werner, who breaks down the must-have toys of the 2025 holiday season. She starts with the Bitsy Hamster Ball, an interactive digital pet where kids feed, care for, and level up their hamster. She then introduces the upgraded Tonies Box 2, now featuring screen-free games, interactive audio, learning tools, and a wider age range for children 1–9. Elizabeth emphasizes the importance of shopping early due to tighter inventory this year and encourages parents to compare prices before shelves start thinning out.Elizabeth continues with education-focused toys like Fisher-Price’s Laugh & Learn Mix & Learn DJ Table, which has gone viral thanks to toddlers jamming along while developing motor skills and learning bilingual phrases. She wraps her segment with the My Robotic Pet Coding Chameleon, a hands-on STEM toy kids build themselves to learn early coding concepts. Her insights give parents a roadmap—not just a wishlist—of smart, engaging gifts built around creativity, movement, and learning.Closing the episode, Neil welcomes Art Phinney, pastor, musician, and author of Live & Learn, Learn & Live. Art explains that he wrote the book for one reason: to leave a legacy of truth and wisdom for his grandchildren. He shares emotional stories, including a childhood emergency involving his young son, that taught him about responsibility, faith, and lifelong learning. Art talks about why he chose to go public with the book now, his continuing ministry, and his music projects through HIS Studio Productions. Neil wraps by highlighting the episode’s thread: whether it’s wrestling, parenting, toys, or faith, learning never stops—and neither should we.
