Al Roker • John Mariotti • Susan Lintonsmith • Dr. Mohamed (RTILA) • Shawn Welsh (Parade Deck)

Al Roker — “Ruthless Tide” & the Power of Water

Al revisited one of America’s deadliest disasters, the 1889 Johnstown Flood, and explained why he wrote Ruthless Tide. Beyond the 2,200 lives lost, it reshaped liability law, environmental protections, and put the Red Cross on the map. He tied that lesson to today’s rollbacks in regulations and the risks of climate change: water is life-giving, but also unstoppable destruction. Al also shared a fun memory about appearing on Sesame Street and plugged his Sirius...

Eddie Jackson (NFL alum turned Food Network star) kicks things off with a tailgate upgrade: wings + wine. Partnering with Bota Box, he lays out three foolproof plays—herbed oven-roasted wings in white-wine sauce with Pinot Grigio, crispy fried wings in a chili-garlic toss with Sauvignon Blanc, and smoky tandoori-style grilled wings with a bold red blend. His core message: prep sauces and marinades ahead, cook any way you like (oven, grill, air fryer, smoker), and elevate game day without the fuss.

Reunion dreams? Logistics are messy, but she’s game to...

Segment 1 — Dolvett Quince (The Biggest Loser):
Dolvett comes in hot—“sorry, just did 1,000 pushups”—and teases a refreshed season: new gym, trainer-versus-trainer format, and Bob Harper moving to host. The big twist? A temptation fork-in-the-road (health journey vs. a cash offer) that’s designed to light up social. He plugs his NYT-bestselling first book, says book #2 is underway, and previews his “Quintessential” app focused on bite-size fitness tips and community. Bottom line: constant evolution to keep viewers inspired and engaged.

Segment 2 — Mitchell S. Karnes (Author Update):

1) Cybersecurity wake-up call with Greg Hanna (Toss C3).

The takeaway is blunt: stop trusting generalist IT for secu...

Jillian Michaels kicked things off, unveiling the video era of her award-winning podcast “Keeping It Real,” now under Bill Maher’s banner on YouTube.

Episodes spotlight voices such as Callie Means on food/pharma incentives and (next up) Dr. Peter Attia on when lifestyle change is enough—and when TRT belongs nowhere near men who still plan to have kids.

Jillian traced her ethos back to being an overwei...

Jillian Michaels kicked things off with fire. She explained how her long-running podcast “Keeping It Real” leveled up into a free, video talk show on YouTube after Bill Maher pushed her to take on tougher, often “uncancelable” health conversations. The mission: fearless, nuanced chats with MDs, PhDs, and journalists on touchy topics—from plunging male testosterone to soaring early-onset cancers—so listeners can make informed choices without the usual culture-war static.

Dr. Christopher Hall backed the stakes: hormone shifts, lifestyle factors, environmental pollutants, and food quality all collide—and medicine can be slow to adapt. Michaels previewed an episode wit...
