In this electrifying episode, songwriting and production legends Jimmy McGorman and Robb Vallier join Greg Hannaand Neil Haley to discuss the launch of their own creative project: Flights to London. After decades writing hits for bands like the Goo Goo Dolls, Weezer, and Sabrina Carpenter, they’ve finally stepped into the spotlight to create a deeply personal and sonically rich album.
They talk about creative freedom, the inspirations behind their debut album Instructions for Losing Control, and how letting go of expectations can be the very thing that propels you forward. From studio legends to band founders, this conversation is packed with humor, insight, and honest reflection.
How It All Started
Jimmy and Robb met at Berklee College of Music in the 90s, reconnected 13 years ago, and finally created Flights to London after an inspiring trip to Napa Valley while producing another band.
Why Now?
The longtime collaborators realized they were long overdue to create something purely for themselves. “We said, ‘Why are we doing this for everyone else? Let’s do it for us.’”
About the Album: Instructions for Losing Control
The title reflects a broader message—about letting go of perfection, self-doubt, and other people’s expectations. It’s not about chaos; it’s about freedom.
Musical Direction
Inspired by 80s bands like Tears for Fears, The Fixx, and Peter Gabriel, they set guardrails to guide the album’s sound, creating a nostalgic but fresh sonic identity they call “modern retro.”
Creative Freedom = Real Art
Robb and Jimmy share why writing songs without chasing a hit has created their most authentic work to date. “This wasn’t written for an algorithm—it was written for the soul.”
Session Legends on the Record
The album features performances from elite session musicians:
🎸 John Button (The Who) on bass
🎷 Ben Carr (saxophonist from Australia)
🎤 Charlene (featured vocalist on two tracks)
🎧 Mixed by Dr. Mix (Italy/Spain)
🥁 Contributions from Foo Fighters collaborators
A Live Show is Coming
Their official album release party + live performance is scheduled for November 22 in Westlake Village, California.
“The idea of needing instructions to let go... says a lot about our culture. We’re always chasing control.”
— Robb Vallier
“It’s better to be done than perfect. We just wanted to make something we truly love.”
— Jimmy McGorman
“This was written in a vacuum. No label, no timeline, no gatekeepers. Just us.”
— Robb Vallier
“If you’re feeling amazing, that will pass. If you’re in the dumps, that will pass too. This too shall pass—that’s something I’ve really learned.”
— Jimmy McGorman
“Let go of trying to force everything. That’s when life changes.”
— Robb Vallier

🎵 Inside the Episode:💬 Memorable Quotes:🎶 Current & Upcoming Releases:📍 Live Performance:📚 Greg’s Signature Question: What’s the Most Important Lesson in Life?
In this powerful and heartfelt episode, Greg Hanna welcomes the cast and crew of Parallel Process, a poignant new stage play exploring family estrangement, PTSD, and the deep emotional toll of war.
Veteran actor Alan McRae, stage and screen performer Christine Capitan, and assistant director Cora Altman join Greg to discuss what drew them to the project, the emotional weight of the material, and what audiences can expect from this powerful production set to run at the Odyssey Theatre in Los Angeles.
Together, they explore the play’s themes of trauma, reconciliation, and healing—and how those stories remain deeply relevant today.
Parallel Process follows Dennis, a psychologist and Vietnam veteran, as he navigates unresolved trauma and a long-standing estrangement with his brother. With the help of his wife and a courageous confrontation of the past, Dennis is forced to face the emotional wounds he's carried for decades.
The story, set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War’s lingering impact, is both timely and timeless—offering audiences a raw, relatable glimpse into grief, forgiveness, and the hope of reconnection.
Alan McRae on stepping into the complex role of Dennis:
“This role really challenged me. The writing was so strong, and the emotional depth forced me to revisit some very personal places in my own life.”
Christine Capitan on her role as Dennis’ wife:
“She’s a steadying force—a bridge between two estranged brothers. It’s a role that feels close to home for me.”
Cora Altman on the casting and rehearsal process:
“It’s been amazing to see everything click. Alan and Christine embody their characters so naturally—it’s been a joy to help bring this to life.”
Emotional connection to the audience:
The cast shares their hope that audience members will walk away inspired to reach out to estranged family, show more compassion, and reflect on the emotional impact of war on veterans and their families.
Theater vs. Film & TV:
Alan shares why theater remains his passion: “In theater, you live the story start to finish—every night. That’s something film doesn’t give you.”
“If even one person leaves the theater and calls a family member they’ve been distant from, we’ve done something right.”
— Alan McRae
“This play is full of raw emotion. It's timely, relevant, and reminds us that the effects of war are carried long after the battlefield.”
— Christine Capitan
“I've learned so much just watching these two work. The energy, the emotion—it’s so authentic.”
— Cora Altman
“Theater gives you a complete emotional arc. From lights up to final bow, you're living that story in real time.”
— Alan McRae

In this energizing and information-packed episode, world-renowned physician, author, and public health advocate Dr. Michael Greger joins Greg Hanna to talk about cutting-edge nutrition science, longevity research, and his latest book, How Not to Age.
From surprising findings on red wine and NAD supplements to the powerful role of purple sweet potatoes and time-restricted eating, Dr. Greger breaks down the most up-to-date studies in clear, actionable language. He also shares behind-the-scenes insights from writing the book, the truth about olive oil and krill oil, and why being of service is the real path to happiness.
Surprising Longevity Discoveries
Dr. Greger reveals unexpected findings from his newest book, including new science on resveratrol, vitamin D, NAD, fish, protein restriction, microRNAs, and more.
How Long Could We Really Live?
Greg asks about extending human lifespan. Dr. Greger discusses the potential of living to 150+ and what animals like the “immortal jellyfish” and naked mole rats teach us about biological aging.
The Basics Still Matter Most
While science explores futuristic aging interventions, Greger emphasizes the foundational importance of not smoking, regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and eating more whole plant foods.
The Truth About Olive Oil and Krill Oil
Dr. Greger explains why extra virgin olive oil is better than refined oils and why marketing hype often overshadows real, unbiased science when it comes to supplements.
Do You Practice What You Preach?
Yes—but travel makes it harder! Dr. Greger shares his go-to airplane snack (microwaved purple sweet potatoes!) and what he eats on the road versus at home.
Why Purple Sweet Potatoes Rock
These anthocyanin-rich tubers are linked to Okinawan longevity and are one of Dr. Greger’s top picks for daily fuel.
Intermittent Fasting Done Right
The best kind? Early Time-Restricted Feeding. Skipping dinner (not breakfast) and aligning meals with circadian rhythms can dramatically improve metabolism and weight loss.
The Truth About Long-Term Water Fasting
It may offer health benefits—but only under clinical supervision. Dr. Greger explains the real risks, including electrolyte imbalances and seizures if not carefully monitored.
The Bigger Picture: Service and Legacy
In a heartfelt final message, Dr. Greger shares the most important lesson of his life—why dedicating your life to helping others is the true source of happiness and fulfillment.
“The most important thing I've ever learned? Service. The happiest moments of my life come from making a difference in someone else’s.”
— Dr. Michael Greger
“You don’t want to die the day before the breakthrough. Live long enough to live forever.”
— Dr. Michael Greger
“Skip dinner, not breakfast. Early Time-Restricted Feeding is where the magic is.”
— Dr. Michael Greger
“Purple sweet potatoes—microwave one before your flight. Perfect snack. Great anthocyanins. And it's a hand warmer.”
— Dr. Michael Greger
“I donate all proceeds from my books to charity. I just want people to live the longest, healthiest lives possible.”
— Dr. Michael Greger

n this inspiring and story-rich conversation, renowned film producer and philanthropist Peter Samuelson joins Greg Hanna to share untold Hollywood moments, life-changing nonprofit ventures, and the philosophy behind his new book Finding Happy.
From producing classics like Revenge of the Nerds and Return of the Pink Panther to co-founding seven powerful nonprofits—including one with Steven Spielberg—Peter’s life is proof that storytelling and service go hand-in-hand.
He pulls back the curtain on working with Peter Sellers, raising millions for charity, and building organizations that transform the lives of foster youth, hospitalized children, and homeless individuals. Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, filmmaker, or changemaker, Peter delivers a masterclass in visionary thinking, risk-taking, and purpose-driven success.
Behind the Scenes with Peter Sellers:
Hilarious and insightful memories from Return of the Pink Panther, including Peter Sellers’ superstition about the color green on set.
The Producer as General:
Peter compares producing films to military leadership—sharing a lesson he learned directly from General Norman Schwarzkopf about why great generals (and producers) are great generalists, not specialists.
The Spielberg Moment:
Peter recounts the incredible story of how a short meeting with Steven Spielberg turned into a $2.5 million donation and the birth of the Starlight Foundation, which now connects and supports children in hospitals globally.
Big Risks and Bold Ideas:
From asking Spielberg for millions on the spot to writing his first book for Gen Z and Millennials, Peter opens up about the risks worth taking—and the lessons learned when they don’t go as planned.
About Finding Happy:
Peter’s new book, Finding Happy, is a guide for young adults navigating stress, confusion, and life’s big decisions. With chapters on risk-taking, decision-making, and purpose, it offers real-life stories and practical advice for anyone seeking clarity and meaning.
Mentorship Through Nonprofits:
Learn how Peter mentors hundreds of foster youth through his organization First Star, and how he teaches empathy and agency by giving students money they must use to help others.
The Entrepreneurial Nature of Filmmaking:
Peter breaks down why film production is the ultimate entrepreneurial venture—and how the same mindset applies to launching nonprofits and social change initiatives.
“That’s why they’re called generals—for God’s sake—because their specialty is being the generalist.”
— Peter Samuelson
“We were the 22nd highest-grossing comedy of all time when Revenge of the Nerds came out. I don’t know what the other 21 were—they must’ve been pretty funny.”
— Peter Samuelson
“If you just sit in the darkness, what will you ever be? Nothing. You have to poke the edges and experiment.”
— Peter Samuelson on taking risks
“Steven Spielberg told me, ‘Give me a number.’ I said, ‘Two and a half million dollars.’ He said, ‘Okay, I’ll do it.’”
— Peter Samuelson on launching Starlight Foundation
“To really find happiness, you have to help other people.”
— Peter Samuelson

In this star-studded episode of Celebrity Interviews Live from the Grotto with Greg Hanna, veteran actress Catherine Carlen joins Greg for a heartfelt and entertaining conversation about her decades-long career, her unexpected comeback, and her latest breakout role in Netflix’s The Residence, a Shondaland production.
Catherine’s journey is anything but ordinary. From turning down her first film opportunity as a college student, to modeling in New York alongside icons like Janice Dickinson, Catherine found her true calling in acting thanks to a chance encounter with designer Giorgio di Sant’Angelo — and never looked back. She shares how legendary acting teacher Uta Hagen changed the course of her life by recognizing her natural talent and encouraging her to pursue the craft seriously.
After stepping away from the spotlight to raise her daughter, Catherine made the bold decision to start over — enrolling at UCLA, performing in student films, building a new reel, and rebuilding her career from the ground up. She dives into the struggles and triumphs of that journey, and the resilience it took to earn roles in NCIS: LA, Sharp Objects, and now as the former First Lady in The Residence.
The “aha” moment that changed everything: Catherine recalls being told by Giorgio di Sant’Angelo that she was “an actress, not a model” and how that led her to acting classes in New York.
Working with Uta Hagen: The encouragement and guidance that helped Catherine believe in her natural gift.
A personal and professional reboot: Her decision to step away for motherhood and the grit it took to restart her career in her 50s.
Behind-the-scenes stories:
Doing her own stunt on Ghostbusters
Support from LL Cool J on NCIS: LA
An unforgettable moment with Amy Adams on Sharp Objects
Her role in Netflix’s The Residence:
Playing former First Lady Kim Aiken
Improvising on set and collaborating with Shondaland
The impact of co-star André Braugher’s unexpected passing during production
Spirituality, trust, and resilience: Catherine opens up about the lessons that have guided her through life, including grief, reinvention, and trusting the journey.
Why The Residence is a standout success: The “murder mystery-meets-political satire” vibe, comparisons to Clueand Only Murders in the Building, and why viewers binge-watched the entire series.
What’s next: Catherine teases the potential for a second season — and the importance of staying visible and memorable in Hollywood.
“Giorgio said, ‘You’re not a model — you’re an actress.’ And that was it. That was my moment.”
— Catherine Carlen
“I had to start from the beginning. I made a reel, did student films at UCLA, and got an agent all over again.”
— Catherine Carlen
“If it’s supposed to be mine, it’ll be mine. I just have to lift it up and let it go.”
— Catherine Carlen on faith and letting go of attachment to roles
“Playing Kim Aiken was a blast. The former First Lady — fun, lively, and a little too honest.”
— Catherine Carlen on her role in The Residence
Catch her scene-stealing role as Kim Aiken in The Residence, streaming now on Netflix. With Shondaland behind the series, it’s a sharp, funny, and refreshingly bold murder mystery.
