The Neil Haley Show Featuring Chris Mulkey, J. Len Sciuto, Jason Seal, Grace Lynx Jenkins, and Ed LyonNei

The Neil Haley Show Featuring Chris Mulkey, J. Len Sciuto, Jason Seal, Grace Lynx Jenkins, and Ed LyonNeil opened with Greg Hanna of Celebrity Interviews Live from the Grotto, welcoming veteran actor Chris Mulkey, whose credits include Captain Phillips, Whiplash, On the Basis of Sex, Twin Peaks, Castle Rock, and Boardwalk Empire. Chris discussed his role as Carl Hoagland in In Plain Sight, a bridge-builder whose creation was designed to fail, and his work on The Paper, which he praised as a brilliantly written comedy anchored by co-star Nancy Lenahan. He also reflected on Mother May I, directed by Lawrence across the street from his Gloria Swanson-era home. Chris shared his packed slate including Yellowstone Marshals (Y Marshals) on CBS alongside Luke Grimes, a role that expanded after the first ten episodes left unfinished business. He's also producing daughter Amelia's film Floating and starring opposite his wife Karen Landry in The Texan Dead, shooting March 6 in Abilene. Chris is recording a ten-song Americana album in Sanford, North Carolina with Britton Buchanan, and recently co-wrote "Two Lane Road" with songwriter Steve McClintock. On teaching acting at the Ruskin Theater in Santa Monica, he offered his mantra: "Show up on time, be nice, and know your stuff." His life lesson: listen and be kind.Bestselling author J. Len Sciuto returned with an update on Hades' Crypt, now 23 weeks on the bestseller list, with two-thirds of royalties going to junior enlisted military personnel (E1-E4). He walked through his Navy and Coast Guard career, including a 1970 Black Sea mission against the Russians that inspired Tango Down: China Sea, and his role as operations officer during Desert Shield and Storm, which inspired The Devil's Delegation. Len detailed the Arctic buildup, where Russia has over 32 bases to the US's 10, and nine icebreakers to America's two. He analyzed Operation Epic Fury targeting Iran's nuclear facilities, warning about the fourth undamaged site, Iran's status as the fourth head of the snake alongside Russia, China, and North Korea, and the economic devastation of 3,000 ships stuck in the Strait of Hormuz costing owners $30,000 to $100,000 daily. His upcoming book Desperate Countermeasures (targeted for July 1) follows a terrorist group targeting the authors of America's National Nuclear Contingency Plan.

Visit nosleevenation.com.Soon-to-publish author Grace Lynx Jenkins returned to explain the Lynx in her author name, a symbol chosen for the independence, solitary focus, critical thinking, and creativity the cat represents. She lamented how modern polarization has eroded the ability to agree to disagree, and shared how bobcats (the Southern US lynx) reflect her values as an author championing free thinking. Two short stories release weekly ahead of her May book launch at GraceLynxJenkins.com.The show closed with Ed Lyon of The Lyon Share Podcast broadcasting from his Certified Tax and Business Advisor training in Clearwater, Florida. Joined by students Novar and John from Los Angeles (both 13-15 year veterans of life insurance and annuities), Ed explained how his top-down comprehensive tax planning approach differs from the "one weird trick" hitmen of financial services. He emphasized that most CPAs focus on compliance rather than proactive planning, and that middle-class wealth accumulation over the past five years has created massive demand for strategies their traditional advisors simply don't know. John noted how ordinary clients now sitting on $900,000+ IRAs need RMD strategies their CPAs have never had to develop, while Novar shared why Ed's credibility made him the advisor she trusts with her clients.
