Law & Order’s Season 25 Premiere, Halloween Merch Madness & HPV Awareness with SupermanHPV

On this episode of The Neil Haley Show, Neil welcomes an all-star lineup to celebrate Law & Order’s Season 25 premiere. Actors Hugh Dancy, Odelya Halevi, and Tony Goldwyn break down their characters’ evolution and how moral rigidity, empathy, and politics collide in the courtroom. Hugh discusses the challenges of playing ADA Nolan Price, Odelya highlights the human heart behind Sam Maroun, and Tony reflects on stepping into Sam Waterston’s shoes as DA Nick Baxter. Together, they tease new storylines and the high-stakes dynamics awaiting fans this season on NBC and Peacock.

The conversation shifts to Jason Seale of No Sleeve Nation as he and Neil banter about the Browns, Steelers, and the NFL’s rough schedules. They dive into creative plans for Halloween-themed apparel, Stranger Things tie-ins, and the expansion of No Sleeve Nation into hats, business merch, and even Christmas releases. Jason shares insider stories, like cutting the sleeves off a Crosby jersey at a bar, proving the sleeveless lifestyle is alive and well in Pittsburgh.

Next, Mina Valentin joins to unpack her latest research on the Georgian era’s church, morality, marriage, and sex bans. She details the role of the Church of England in regulating unions, clandestine weddings at Fleet Prison, and how premarital morality shaped the stricter Victorian code to follow. Mina also explains how aristocrats sidestepped moral rules while commoners bore the weight of restrictions, giving listeners a fascinating historical lens into marriage as both duty and power play.

In a powerful segment, Neil and Dr. Gilda Carle discuss the importance of knowing your worth in business, relationships, and public presence. Dr. Gilda draws from her books I’m Worth Loving and Amplify Your Media Presence to outline how confidence, preparation, and audience analysis are key to commanding a room—whether in politics, media, or sales. She emphasizes shifting focus from “What will they think of me?” to “How do I serve their needs?”

Finally, the show features Jason Mendelsohn, widely known as SupermanHPV, who shares his moving personal story of surviving HPV-related tonsil cancer. From finding a neck lump to enduring chemo, radiation, and a feeding tube, Jason’s journey highlights the importance of early detection, annual checkups, and the life-saving HPV vaccine. His advocacy work—spanning congressional briefings, survivor symposiums, and global conferences—underscores his mission to eliminate stigma and protect future generations from preventable cancers.
