Bet you thought you'd seen the last of us, huh? Well we are back and better than ever, baby. After some thinking, resting, and a scheduling conflict, your managers have been called back to duty for another episode of Ask the Manager Mondays. You heard that right! On today's show, Manager Kev, assistant manager Kels and associate producer / DJ Pooj share: the key to success in any area of life, advice to youngsters trying to break into the industry, how to handle rejection, how they themselves got their foot in the door, and lastly they break down one of the best lessons we learned on our sister show Better Together.

And this is RGF bonus content: episode 2 of 'God Save the Kweenz', woke motorcycle gangs, country bars and Pooja on the prowl while Kelsey watches the series from a $150 recliner of her own. Bye Betches.

We’ve all had to rebuild these last few years, and it hasn’t been easy. Our way of life was flipped on its head overnight. And while we have made much progress, construction isn’t over just yet. Lucky for us, America’s Money Maven herself Patrice Washington teaches us how she was able to financially and mentally recover after losing her 7-figure business at 25 years old and what she learned from her journey.

If you’re reading this, you’ve experienced trauma. We all have. Our entire way of being was flipped on its head 2 years ago, and still hasn't recovered. We were locked away and told not to leave our houses. It can feel hopeless, like there is no coming back from all that we have endured. We are here to tell you that is NOT true and that you can, in fact, thrive even while working through traumas. Lucky for us, author and spiritual leader Gabby Bernstein teaches how we can do just that. In today’s episode we go over: the difference between trauma with a “little t” and “big t,” and how both affect you equally. Why we must shift the shame around medication. The key to breaking addictive patterns. How trauma can affect your physical health. Gabby’s tips on handling dissociated memories. How to talk and comfort your inner child. We hope you find this helpful and if you do, please share with someone you think could benefit.

‘Twas the Fight Before Christmas' is now one of Better Together’s new favorite documentaries and thanks to our amazing producer Kelsey, we were able to snag the director herself for an interview! Becky Read is a brilliant Emmy-nominated director however, her success hasn’t come without its hardships. From overcoming creative blocks to preventing burn out, she shares a lot of valuable advice on how she maintains a healthy, work-life balance. Plus, she reveals some BTS secrets, how the stars were off-screen and even discloses the crazy stories she has from set (like how someone drove through a carwash with a Christmas tree attached to it?!)

You may know JoAnna Garcia Swisher from her role as Sam in “Are You Afraid of The Dark?” or Cheyenne in “Reba” or most recently, Maddie Townsend from Netflix’s “Sweet Magnolias,” but in our interview we see a different side of the actress. Maria and the star sit down and discuss their shared experience of losing a parent, or in JoAnna’s case two parents and a grandparent, during COVID and reveal what helped them get through the grief.

Heal Squad, we present to you our latest Better Together segment “Ask Maria Mondays” where Maria answers YOUR questions! For all of you “Ask the Manager Mondays” fans out there, we are on the verge of getting canceled so if you want us back on air, make sure to mention that in your reviews ;) Today is jam packed with lessons, so get your notebooks out. The proven, simple technique Maria’s uses to release anger. The one thing Maria did that she accredits all of her success to. The “easy” one-liner you can use to stand up to a bully. People come into your life for this reason. What to ask yourself when you are on the verge of quitting. How to deal with grief on the days it just hits harder. On a lighter note, Maria almost threw up next to Al Rocker on “The Today Show”? Kelsey is dating One Direction heartthrob Niall Horan?! Maria saw which international super star’s bare butt?!? All of that and more on today’s episode!

Here's why you wrongly 'explain' your side of the story. Here's why you wrongly 'explain' your true life dreams and goals. Here's why you shouldn't ever do, either. Here's why your explaining is you negotiating and why you shouldn't do that, either. Here's how anger can be the catalyst to remedy. Here's one reason suicides occur. Here's the sacrifice you make for acceptance. Here's a method to apply when you have a lot to do yet feel too overwhelmed. Here's the 90 day rule to apply when de-hoarding. Here's the 'back to one' process before sleep to insure a better morning. Here's to 'the minimalists' and the 'Daily Stoic.' Here's to why 'Ask the Manager Mondays' was launched and why it has been cancelled. Here's to all of us who try but never know why. Here's emulating one of those old TV series where the character travels town to town, helping others, searching for greater things may be a fine option. Listen through for RGF bonus material. Bye Betches.

On today’s episode, Maria sits down with the team to talk about her new website www.mariamenounos.com!!!

Why is it easier to uphold promises to others instead of ourselves? What is mental violence? What are self fulfilling prophecies and how do we manifest them. When is shame a good thing? When did Maria know she 'made it' and what's the REAL story behind her getting there. Why work hard play hard may be a myth? What is the best natural remedy for preventing disease and prolonging life? Why focus on process over results creates wins and why focus on goals creates losses and how habits make up the process? Announcements on the new MariaMenounos.com, a Sunday show and our PSA movie to win the war on drugs must be produced by the Better Together Players.

When the people that matter mind and when to pay no mind to those that don't. When farmers lecture pigs. When you value process over results. When addictions help you. When working less does more. When you do half the work for your therapist. When the rules of the game are harder for some. When you make time as important as currency. When you spend more time to suss game peep game then get love bombed and ghosted. When West Elm Caleb, or any Hinge guy, makes you a playlist. When Johnny Thunder replaces Ava Max on days you don't feel like a #Kween. Bye Betches. #johnnythunders

And...how role models fit into your journey? How you maintain New Year goals? How you pursue dreams over 50? How rich kids have it? How to create work-home boundaries? How to maintain a work-life balance when pursuing dreams? Most importantly, how Better Together is considering reviving the 80's war on drugs, shooting a PSA set in high school, starring BT Players Maria Menounos, Kelsey Meyer, Pooja Nayyar as students, where, in the end, they unite to perform as a music group in order to summarize and share all the valuable lessons they learned? Just when you think we have all the answers, you change the questions. Ask the Manager and you shall receive...answers as well as a show transcript and a signed 8x10, too, IF you have a self addressed stamped envelope.

The cost of being grateful. The three ways to break up with a friend. The truth about waking sleepwalkers and raising awareness to those who lack self-awareness. The truth over when the truth is not the best option. The technique to employ before any act of giving. The same technique to employ when dealing with narcissists, criminals and enemies. The four word technique to employ against bosses or anyone else who disagrees that Friday is your day. The practice of comedy defiance and the fact that Cinderella isn't the only one to attend Balls. Kelsey attended a Military Ball in college, Keven attended a Soccer Ball in high school, Poojah never attended a ball and the RGF Ball will be 'ah-mazing' but who's got the biggest balls of them all?

The existence and handling of 'legacy friendships.' The need to examine invites: is your attendance at that kid bday party, baby or bridal shower 'meaningful'?

You are consciously trying to improve yourself and your life. As a result, you get pushback from people you're close to. On today’s episode, we talk about how those around you react to your growth. How many only learn to adjust, rather than change and how that can be okay. How you may be too available. How you must go where you're celebrated not tolerated. How some around you are jealous of the work you're doing and unwilling to do it themselves. How great spirits always get opposition from mediocre minds. How your happiness is always directly related to your peer group. How proximity can maintain some friendships. How this may be the episode to replay and share!

Romper, bomper, stomper boo, Regular Guys and Gals tell me do! On this RGF: THIS is the reason we over-consume and THIS is the proven means to stop. THIS way of consuming makes you sad. THIS way brings you joy. THIS untold truth about human beings brings you peace. THIS technique to employ when arguing. THIS is what true power looks like. THIS is why you must be angry and THIS is what to do after that. THIS is the non cheugy way to do peace sign selfies, THIS is the real reason the Fonz jumped the shark and THIS just in: the American F Machine, @stephenlemieuxphoto, is heading to work on @Fboyisland.

On today’s show, Maria sits down for one of our most vulnerable interviews to date with The White Lotus star Brittany O’Grady. She reveals, for the first time ever, her struggles with body-image issues.

And lastly, Maria reminds us that you have the power to use your voice and own your power.

Feel like you've failed at 2022 before it's even started? Haven't got a handle on what you wanna do or accomplish? Here's why that's a good thing. Why you can be more productive by doing less. Why YouTube Yoga Nidra may be THE cure for anxiety. Why alcohol tastes better, the less you drink it and when it tastes best in your 20's. Why you cant always do it alone and why life organizer friends and professionals are worth it. Why Miley Cyrus is amazing hosting New Year's Eve celebrations.

Hey Kweenz, we fooled 'em again - we made it through another YEAR and to the last Regular Guy Friday of 2021. The Ava Max line from 'King's and Queen's' you wrongfully ignored. The definition of Real Friends vs Rock Star Friends and why it's okay to have both. The New Year's resolution to be more out for self is best applied when you lack this intention. The social media postings of your year end accomplishments are great when you lack this other intention. The social media postings of your year end accomplishments are even greater when you apply this '1% barometer.' The list of people you create before the year's end may predict success for the following year. The thought that maybe it's less about being more out for self and more about being more self-reliant. The theory that every time you go on a trip, you return a different person. The magic mirror Miss Jean used to thank the Romper Room audiences works just as well to thank RGF audiences. The fact that Kelsey forgot the RGF signature sign-off message, after almost 40 shows, means maybe we have another 40 shows to do. The three things you MUST continue in the New Year: 1) Be a Kween 2) Stay Krisp 3) Keep scamming (while doing the work). Bye 2021, Betches! See you at Club Freeze. #Krisp #Kweenz

Why Thursdays you don't need make-up, just ask Jess Glynn. Why making a 'life annoyance list' is the most important New Year step toward a better you, just ask Maria. Why removing those items from your life is the second most important step, just listen to Maria. Why making a list of small, attainable goals is the third most important step, just ask Keven. Why making certain, specific life adjustments may help you find your ideal mate, just ask Kelsey. Why you may want to mesh your creative pursuits into your day job, just ask Pooja. Why it's still all about hard work and sacrifice to achieve success yet as much about detachment. Why the last two years may have set you back, yet also set you forward. Why Freeze remains the best underground nightclub in LA, why Komebacks are spelled with a 'K', why calling things 'Krisp' is huge with Eastern European teens. So Heal Squad, here's to our last BT show of '21 and to Krisp Kween Komebacks in '22. See you at Freeze. #Krisp #KomebackKweenz

Happy Wednesday as Better Together's Very Covid Christmas Week continues to deliver you fresh new episodes daily. How Wednsdays are the day to get it right, just ask Johnny Cash. How being sick at home while the rest of the world is on vacation may not be the worst thing, just ask Keven. How being sick at home may force you to be present and how being present may force you to appreciate more, just ask Maria. How being the one to help others even when no one helps you is cause for appreciation, not bitterness, just ask Marcus Aurelius. How you can't allow anyone to put you in a box, just ask Leeza Gibbons. How you may see yourself as weak when all along others saw you as strong, just ask the cast of One Tree Hill. How no matter what traumas you've endured, you're still standing and why that's the biggest win of all, just ask Elton John. How you never lose unless you quit, just ask Bob Backlund. How Mr. Miyagi trained with movement, spirituality and nature as enemies trained with violence and who really wins by the end, just watch Karate Kid III. After that, watch #CobraKai which drops this weekend. Stay #Krisp Heal Squad!

A Very Covid Christmas Week continues as does Better Together's commitment to deliver new content daily. How recliner's are so underrated, just ask Keven. How roller coasters and life are similar and how managing the highs, lows , exhilarations and fears are essential, just ask Maria. How managing fear may be the key to life, just ask Sly Stallone. How embracing a new normal and dealing with what is, rather than what was, is crucial. How anxiety blocks creativity and your dreams and how scheduling your creative endeavors may be essential. How detachment from success may lead to more of it and why wasted talent may be the biggest faux pas of all. How 'goin' to the club on a Tuesday got the girl in the cut and she ain't choosey' may not make sense to you but does to Turkish DJ Burak Yeter. And BTW, why does Tuesday get such a bad rap? Why shouldn't we Kweenz hit the club on Tuesday? THESE are the important questions. Stay #Krisp #HealSquad.

Didn't have the perfect Instagram Christmas? Neither did we! Maria, Keven, Winnie and Max are down for the count but prove we are still Better Together, delivering fresh new episodes - albeit from bed. When we get sick over holidays and vacation it's for this very reason. How these home treatments may be able to navigate you through flu and colds. How pet's getting ill or injured over holidays can sometimes be remedied at home. How texting loved ones who have passed may help you cope. How your Christmas may have been better than you think and a reminder of the holiday's true meaning. The official date Christmas ends and when to take down decorations. Installing steam showers, buying portable steamers online, the best means to refinish hardwood floors, cool retro songs about Mondays, how underrated singer Mama Cass was, a reminder that Lowes will have Christmas trees and decorations on it's floors by August and the usual random ramblings received when Keven gets to co-host. Happy Christmas week!

Heal Squad and Better Together Fans, put down your notepads and put up your feet, cuz it's Christmas Eve Eve! Former show producer Jeff Graham joins today's episode with Kev, Pooja and Kelsey to explain: How Christmas Eve Eve is it's own holiday. . How to celebrate Christmas Eve Eve and how Christmas Eve Eve may be even BETTER than Christmas? How going home to be with parents is a means to recapture Christmas. How some childhood bedrooms are preserved like a time capsule from your past while others are redecorated like a room from the Sheraton. How Christmas ornaments can salute the past and maintain tradition in the most practical way. How working on Christmas can be just as special and how we should treat others we meet that do. How less shopping at the mall can conjure more Christmas spirit. How being a cool mom is cool as long as you're still a Mom. How Better Together will deliver fresh content throughout the holidays. Oh who cares! Merry Christmas Eve Eve and same onto you.

Hey Kweenz, Christmas Eve is here and, as promised, so is RGF. How going home, or being with people from your past, can return you to your eight year old self and what can be done to resist. How not stepping on false accusations can make them truths. How much the name of your business, or title of your project, equates to success. Just ask @prettylittlebakers. How there's a difference between civilians and samurai and the importance of knowing both. How carnies named Popcorn and Clyde can teach us the difference between a Tuesday and a Saturday and how knowing the right answer factors into achieving the loftiest goal. Are you, or have you ever been, a Pick Me Girl or Guy? Are you, or have you been, a Main Character? Is there anything more important than being popular or getting likes? A HUGE RGF book announcement, tentative title: How to Build Your Throne in a Land of Kweenz. Rankin and Bass tells us that Christmas is what you make it and RGF tells us this, or any, holiday season you're never alone. LOOK FOR FRESH BETTER TOGETHER CONTENT DURING THE ENTIRE HOLIDAY WEEK! Bye Christmas Betches.
