Which had us wondering: what's the best way to swing an artificial Christmas tree? Have a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and enjoy this new episode of Second Shot!

Getting out of your comfort zone isn't an easy task, but $500 would sure help wouldn't it? One basketball player's challenge to his teammate shows that sometimes you just need the right amount of pressure to get something done.

Is it a lesson in staying true to oneself, or an example of how you better earn the right to be a little frivolous sometimes. Put on your dancing shoes, because it's time to show us your moves while listening to this new episode of Second Shot!

"Move in silence and let success make all the noise for you." Looking at old photos of Kevin Curry, you might not think he’s a guy that needs to shed a ton of weight. You also might not think that he would become one of the preeminent voices for fitness and healthy eating in the country.

**Content warning: While Second Shot is at its heart a show designed for the whole family, this episode involves open discussion of violence and childhood trauma. It may not be suitable for younger listeners.** “I didn’t know I was in a cult…” From the age of 13, Anna LeBaron was out on her own, running away from her family. Actually, running away might not be the right way to describe it - escaping is more appropriate. She grew up inside the Church of the First Born of the Lamb of God, a violent polygamist cult led by her father, Ervil LeBaron. She and her more than 50 siblings were constantly moved around the country from Texas to Colorado and even into Mexico, as the family tried to slip away from law enforcement. Dozens of murders were carried out around Anna, including against her own family members. Few have experienced the types of things that Anna has, but her story of trauma and recovery can serve as a lesson to all of us that there’s always time to re-write your story. You can learn more at
