Mick Foley, aka, 4 time world champion professional wrestler, "Mankind." This is an awesome conversation with Mick about his days as a wrestler, how he got started, what is was like coming up through the ranks, how he developed his wrestling persona and what went through his mind as his ear was being ripped off during a match, I'm guessing, "where did I park my car?" Mick is a great interview and also talks about his current tour doing stand up/story telling, which everyone should see.

My friend Dr. Emily Morse, is a leading sex expert and stars on Bravo TV where offers the best sex tips, dating tips, and relationship advice. And if you want to know EVERYTHING about lube, vibrators, romancing a person and sex in interesting places (and I'm talking about on the body) then you should listen to this.  A really fun conversation that will give you practical advice you can use in dating, your marriage or alone.  Be prepared to blush and say, "what!?" a lot. Cool stuff.

Brian Regan. I talk with my friend and one of the greatest stand ups to ever hit the stage, Brian Regan. Brian has made 25 appearances on "The Late Show w/David Letterman," I know what you're thinking, ONLY 25? In this interview we talk about a bunch of topics, like, how Brian approaches writing his stand up, the early days of his career and drinking lots of coffee late at night-which makes him a medical marvel.

This is the most hair-raising and at the same time upbeat interview I have ever done.  Former NHL great, Clint Malarchuk talks about the infamous, gruesome injury he suffered when his carotid artery was severed by a skate during a game and how he almost died. That’s just the beginning. Clint then suffered OCD, severe depression, battled alcoholism and finally tried to kill himself by shooting himself in the head (wait ‘till you hear where the bullet ended up). He survived the suicide attempt and lived to tell about his unbelievable journey. An amazing story.

Comedian, Talk Show Host, & New York Times Best Selling Author of "She's Just Not That Into You," Greg Behrendt. A VERY cool, super honest conversation with this ground-breaking (and I don't use that term often) comic who talks about everything from being a best selling author, the movie and 2 national talk shows he's hosted as a result of that book. Greg is very open about the negatives of instant fame and how he didn't handle it well (a lesson in this for all of us). We get into Greg's music, what it's like being married to him and much more. Of all the interviews this one has so many interesting layers as it tracks the ups and downs of a great comic, writer and television star.

3 Time Superbowl Champ Mark Schlereth. Mark is a pro bowler, ESPN NFL analyst and radio show host on ESPN. He gives us a very cool insider's look into playing in the NFL, the art of playing the offensive line, how he got his nickname "Stink" and what he would do when he was in a game and nature called. After you hear this, you'll never look at a football player the same way again.

Dr. Drew Pinsky. This week, I talk to Dr. Drew from LOVELINE and DR. DREW ON CALL on HLN. We talk about how he got started in not just medicine but how he also became the go-to media personality for advice in sex, addiction and just about everything else.

Ashley Broad. Star of truTV's "Hardcore Pawn." Ashley is very funny and has really interesting stories about how her dad started their famous Detroit pawn shop, how she came to work there, and her business background. She has especially hilarious stories about her take-no-shit dad, Les Gold, and her brother Seth. Not to mention, great stories about the characters who come in the shop trying to wheel and deal her. Everything you see on the show is real and then some!  This is a cool look behind this hit show's beginnings and what goes on when the cameras are off.
