Gloria and Metal Blade Records founder & CEO Brian Slagel catches us up on Metallica’s Sphere residency, the A’s stadium built progress, Heavy Metal Museum and his busy calendar. Brian gets confused about the band Warning performance at the Sphere as a guest of Carín León [a Mexican singer-songwriter] on September 4th 2026… and YES we were correct they were there and it was AMAZING! Then we get deep into red flags: overhyped bands, gut instincts, bad influences, and how being late is a red flag for most people. Brian tells us how a text from Lars Ulrich tipped him off about Metallica at the Sphere way before anyone knew. We also talk the VMAs, the Grammys, and a possible Slipknot backlash. Grab a snack, put your feet up, and download now. This is one happy, rambling catch-up with a friend.

Walking on eggshells around someone? That’s your sign. Gloria and Ariel Gale are back for a feel-good, tell-it-like-it-is chat about red flags, toxic family dynamics and protecting your peace. Gloria talks about starting therapy for the first time, why virtual sessions didn’t click but in-person did. Ariel opens up about lifelong friendships, the one friend she had to let go, and why her gut always knows. Along the way: a miracle recovery for Gloria’s fur baby Coco, a David Byrne night at the Bowl and a golf lesson that might end Gloria’s golf career. Grab a coffee, press play and enjoy!

Ep 85 | Gloria and hypnotherapist Kimberly Friedmutter get into the fascinating and hilarious ways our subconscious communicates through body language, intuition, discomfort, attraction, and self-protection. They discuss the signs that can show up in dating, friendships, family relationships, and work, including body language, one-word replies, strange feelings you cannot quite explain, and the instinct to get out of a situation. But the conversation goes deeper: sometimes we create or exaggerate a red flag because we already want permission to leave. Sometimes the same behavior can be a red flag, green flag, or no flag depending on the person and the context. They also explore manipulation, abuse, outside perspective, and why protecting your time becomes more valuable with age. It is candid girlfriend talk with real relationship insight, funny stories, and plenty to think about. Download this episode and share it with your favorite girlfriend.
