• Nicole Mattox, Daughter of Leslie Mouton
    Dec 14 2025
    https://youtu.be/-7G1geVG6hE Our guest is Nicole Mattox, a super star Vertical Drama actress on a fast rise to fame. She is also the daughter of a famous newscaster. We featured Nicole’s mom, Leslie Mouton, a few episodes back. Leslie was a San Antonio KSAT news anchor who became known worldwide for documenting her battle with cancer. One night during the height of her treatment she did the evening newscast sans her wig. She wanted to let people in treatment, and in life, know that your hair did not define you or your cancer. Next thing she knew she was on Oprah, Good Morning America, featured in magazines and was being celebrated around the world. Her daughter Nicole is just as stunning as her mom, just as full of energy and life as Leslie and so just as fun to talk with. So talk we did… We talk with Nicole about what it was like growing up as the daughter of a local San Antonio news anchor. About being the daughter of a former Air Force fighter pilot who happened to have been stationed in Myrtle Beach in the 80s. One was almost impossible to escape and the other made days on the lake more exciting. We talk about moving to LA, about what path lead to acting and who some of her dream co-stars are. As a former film, tv producer and part time actor, I really loved learning about the Vertical Film / Drama world. Nicole is the winner of the 2025 “Vertical Queen Award”, aka best actress award. I have a great teacher to walk me through this hot media trend. Some of these verticals have over 3 million views and huge international audiences. I have to admit I get drawn in as I’m scrolling. I have even watched some of Nicole’s before I knew who she was. The more I started following Nicole’s social media accounts the more fascinated I became. She has an amazing loyal and fast growing fan base. Let’s hope they all share Nicole’s episode and subscribe to Relatively Famous! Not only has Nicole won the Vertical Queen Award, she and co-star Seth Edeen were nominated for the “Best Chemistry” award also. As a super cool bonus Seth Edeen was in the studio during our recording and I asked him to sit down and join Nicole during the last 5 mins of the show. I can see why they were nominated for best chemistry! https://www.instagram.com/nicolemattoxhttps://www.imdb.com/name/nm11476913/https://www.tiktok.com/@nicole_mattoxhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578345971247https://www.facebook.com/seo.shine.2024 #verticaldrama #verticalvideo #verticalfilms #nicolemattox #sethedeen #KSAT #fighterpilot #myrtlebeach #myrtlebeachairforcebase #lesliemouton #queenaward

  • September Cardiff, Mother of Cayman Cardiff
    Dec 8 2025
    https://youtu.be/Tjks9ZlehOI My friend Christy Crandall, a producer in the Santa Rosa film community suggested I look into the actor Cayman Cardiff. She informed me that Cayman is a popular actor in the fast growing Vertical Video / Film trend and that his mom, September Cardiff, is awesome and would be a great guest. Cayman is on the rise and cusp of Hollywood / Film fame, and having September on is kind of like Episode #15 with John Iseman – Madison Iseman’s dad. Both episodes are fun perspectives of life when their child is becoming a movie star. With Cayman’s career, there is a rapidly growing trend and huge audience in the Vertical Video / Film market. To fans of these internet sensations, Cayman Cardiff is a big star. Vertical Video / Film fans love him in “Under the Hood” and “A Vampire in the Alpha’s Den” among others. As an actor Vertical Video / Film is a shooting star to the top of the fame game these days. So I texted September, we chatted and she was on board. Once I learned what September does for her career I knew she would be fun and full of energy. September has this amazing live production that she takes to libraries and schools all over Kentucky, South Carolina, Georgia and places in-between to promote reading. Her productions includes puppets, magic, songs and interactive fun to encourage and engage young people in the joys of reading. She also is an author of children’s books, see the link below to learn more. I don’t know why, but I was surprised when she told me was a scholarship awarded basketball player in college. So I asked her, how tall are you? September is also a BOYMOM of four, so she had a lot to chat about. Cayman and his brothers were recruited at an early age to help mom in her productions and commercials. She believes that is where the acting bug started, even though Cayman was on the path to being an Orthopedic Surgeon before modeling and acting became his profession. After the basketball comment, I had to ask about the boys heights… 6’2” to 6’6”, with Cayman being 6’4”. To mom’s surprise baby brother Tazman, has moved to LA and is following Cayman’s footsteps to also pursue an acting career. I’m sure we’ll see them acting together in brother / buddy movie in the near future. Are you listening Hollywood writers? September was even forgiving of me when I flubbed a credit of Cayman’s right at the beginning of the interview. I actually looked Cayman’s credits up, but at the same time researched another actor’s IMDb. Well, I flipped them in my interview. No edits, foot in mouth, AGAIN… I own my mistakes and another vertical video series got a shout out.

  • Karen Knotts, Daughter of Don Knotts
    Nov 24 2025
    https://youtu.be/aMZur8zjfsg Karen Knotts father was the top notch, first rate, five time Emmy winner, comedic actor known around the world as Deputy Barney Fife, Leader of the Apple Dumpling Gang, The Incredible Mr. Limpet and Three’s Company Mr. Furley, yep Karen’s father is actor Don Knotts. My friend and writer / director of the documentary “The Mayberry Effect” connected me with Karen and Dixie Griffith (Episode #51) telling me what a wonderful person Karen truly is and how I should make sure to get her on the show. After a few hiccups we were finally able to connect and make it happen. Karen was a Librarian for most of her career, I know it sounds like a setup for an “Andy Griffith Show” set-up. She now is a standup comic, actress and loves sharing stories about her father and her career path. We did chat a lot about her family life growing up, and what her one woman show is about. We also reflected on Don and his career in film and tv, what a great father he was and just how good of an actor he really was. Karen loves being a part of the Mayberry Family, meeting fans of the Andy Griffith Show and hearing how her father and the show touched their lives. It has had a lasting impact on my life. She is also thrilled when his Three’s Company fan base shares stories and their love for her dad with her. I have watched clips of Karen’s comedy and show and I have to say if she is playing in a town near you, get tickets and check out her show. So I’m going to “Nip it in bud” and end these show notes here so you can jump right into Karen’s episode.

  • Jack & Davis Reid, Sons of Wil & Langdon Reid
    Nov 20 2025
    https://youtu.be/WWDTXbyZlmQ This episode is a first for Relatively Famous. I’m calling it a double-dipping episode. Jack & Davis Reid are Harold & Don Reid of the legendary country group The Statler Brothers, grandsons. The double dip is they are also the sons of the duo Wilson Fairchild’s Wil and Langdon Reid, the sons of Harold & Don Reid from Episode #40. Like their fathers, I found Jack & Davis to be funny, talented and fun to interview. But unlike their dads they perform under a clear cut identity, JACK & DAVIS. Just kidding Wil & Langdon, Wilson Fairchild is a cool name for a band. Jack & Davis are young and have a great outlook on life, music, their career and social media trolls. They could care less what trolls have to say and sometimes for fun they taunt them back. They do like when folks are kind and positive and will often personally respond to those social media questions and comments. They are cousins, best friends and business partners, yet they still seem to enjoy singing, hanging out, traveling, finishing each other’s thoughts and writing songs together. I wondered about how I might relate to these young men before we started recording, after all they’re closer to my son’s age and I can be a little bit of a “get off my lawn you dang kids” grumpy old man. However I truly enjoyed talking with them, learning about how they became a duo, it wasn’t a natural progression. Being in their 20s, I had to ask why they sometimes wear those matching outfit like old classic country bands and singers? These two young men just love what they do and really don’t care if people don’t like their music or tell them to get over their grandfather’s Statler Brothers connection. Jack & Davis aren’t doing it so much for fans but for their enjoyment. They truly love singing songs of their granddads and feel sometimes the world could use some of those songs. Jack & Davis are earning their way in the world of country music and not coasting on their grandfathers or fathers coattails! Ok, they do sometimes share a tour bus with their dad’s. But who wouldn’t want to ride in a bus over a van, right? They are working hard and playing shows that build a career and strong fan base, not quick internet one hit wonders. What a blast and energetic interview Jack & Davis proved to be. These two clearly love each other, love what they do and love to share it with fans, both new and old. I hope you enjoy their conversation as much as I did. https://www.relativelyfamous.net/episode-40-wil-langdon-reid-harold-don-reid-sons/https://jackanddavisreid.com/https://www.facebook.com/jackanddavisreidmusic/https://www.instagram.com/jackanddavisreidmusic/?hl=enhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTUsCoWaUrQ4m03akKm-bNA

  • Leslie Mouton, Mother of Nicole Mattox
    Nov 10 2025
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTysh5M_SOw Leslie came to Relatively Famous through our Producer Philip Nelson. He and Leslie have known each other for many years, starting when she was a news anchor here in San Antonio at KSAT. Leslie’s daughter Nicole Mattox is an actress and winner of the Vertical Queen Award 2025, which is really the best actress award in the digital series world. Here on Relatively Famous have started dabbling in the Vertical Film / Video fame genre and were thrilled when Leslie accepted our invitation to be a guest. Please Google Nicole Mattox (or click some links below) to learn more about her career. Here in San Antonio Leslie has been a local celebrity since her days as a KSAT new anchor and beyond, so Nicole also qualifies as a guest. At the age of 35 Leslie was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of breast cancer. Rather than try and hide or pretend all was well, Leslie allowed camera crews to follow her journey. She showed viewers what life is like when fighting cancer, the treatments, the surgeries, chemo and radiation therapies. It was during this time that Leslie chose to anchor the news one night without her wig which lead to world-wide recognition with appearances on Oprah, Good Morning America and even my old stomping grounds, Inside Edition. Leslie left KSAT in 2020 and now devotes her energy to Morgan’s Wonderland Inclusion Foundation based here in San Antonio, TX. She was thrilled to learn that our sponsor pushes inclusion for all people in their promotion of the Myrtle Beach area along with Traveling the Spectrum on Peacock and now wants to learn more about how “The Beach is for Everybody”. Having never met Leslie before this interview I was very inspired and impressed with her story, her journey as a cancer survivor and her joy of giving back to the community. She is so down to earth and has a fantastic perspective on Nicole’s career and success as an actress. Fans of Nicole’s and the vertical films Breaking the Ice, Snatched a Billionaire One Night and Found a Homeless Billionaire Husband on Christmas will love hearing Nicole’s mom’s story! #cancer #verticalvideo #verticalfilm #digitalseries #verticaldrama #morganswonderland #KSAT #oprah #insideedition #sanantonio #chemo #chemotherapy #radiationtherapy #newsanchor #utaustin #longhorns #ut #utlonghorns https://morgans.org/ https://www.lesliemouton.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/leslie-mouton-59474563 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11476913/?ref_=fn_t_1

  • Brandon Osmond, Son of Donny Osmond
    Nov 3 2025
    https://youtu.be/fZjh3KkG0nU I am going to go ahead and admit it right here, right now. Growing up my sister and I had several 45s of Brandon’s father’s family band. Yes we were fans of The Osmonds, Donny as a solo and as a family we watched The Donny & Marie Show. Vanna was even a guest on Donny & Marie’s talk show several years ago. In this episode I have a fantastic conversation with Brandon Osmond, son of Donny Osmond. I was introduced to Brandon by our sponsor visitmyrtlebeach.com and after almost 6 months of back and forth we were finally able to lock in a date to record. I wasn’t sure what to expect because in my mind I assumed it would be a bubbly Osmond interview. What I found out was Brandon is a very down to earth family man working hard to establish his career and provide a great life for his children. He is also very aware of the Osmond legacy. He is super family oriented, proud of the mark The Osmonds have left on the music world and very in tune with the shifts both up and down of his father’s career. We talked about his time in Myrtle and working with Visit Myrtle Beach. Yes, a shameless plug. I loved the story he tells of Michael Jackson calling his dad and the impact that call had on his perspective of his father’s career. We chat about the joy he experienced as kid hanging out backstage during Donny’s Broadway days as the lead in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. This episode is one that you really must listen to or watch on YouTube, I really can’t do justice trying to summarize our conversation in show notes. When Brandon’s book comes out I think I may have to have him on again for a part 2. Or maybe one of his 4 brothers would be fun. So forgive the shortness of my description and jump into the world of Brandon Osmond, son of Donny, nephew of Marie, Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay and Jimmy. myrtlebeach #donnyosmond #theosmonds #onebadapple #donnyandmarie #marieosmond #utah #michaeljackson https://brandon-osmond.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandon-osmond-9bab4a11 https://www.youtube.com/c/brandonosmond https://donny.com/

  • Brad “Curly G” Server, Grandson of Curly Howard
    Oct 27 2025
    https://youtu.be/wvqYhKdnsCk Growing up, and even to this day I am a Three Stooges Fan. Like a large amount of the Three Stooges fan base it is Moe, Larry & Curly that are my favorite Stooges trio. Thanks to social media I was able to connect with Bard “Curly G’ Server. Brad is the grandson of Curly Howard of The Three Stooges. I guess that makes him a Great Nephew to Moe & Shemp Howard too. But that’s another tale, let’s stick with Curly. Brad’s mother Marilyn was Curly Howard’s daughter. After Brad’s grandmother divorced Curly in 1940, Marilyn’s mother remarried a man named Moe Diamond. At the age of 14 when her mother remarried Marilyn closed the door on any connection to Curly Howard for many many years. As a youth watching tv with his siblings, Brad was naturally attracted to Three Stooges short reels yet had no idea he was related to Curly, Moe and Shemp. Brad, a self-proclaimed class clown, was and is always doing wild and crazy things for a laugh. Strangely like his grandfather Brad took to physical comedy at an early age and has mastered some of Curly’s signature moves. After he and his siblings were told their biological grandfather was actually Curly Howard and the shock settled down, they were also told not to talk about it out of respect for their grandfather Moe Diamond. Marilyn was also worried about lawsuits regarding The Three Stooges rights. And as Brad says, who was going to believe him, this kid they all knew for years suddenly telling all his friends “yeah Curly on The Three Stooges is my granddad”. As an adult I still sometimes have that reaction regarding Vanna. Time, understanding and the legal issues around The Three Stooges settled has finally opened the door for Brad and his siblings to talk about their lives, meet fans of their grandfather and become a part of the extended Howard and Fine families. Today, Brad performs as “Curly G”. He has a YouTube channel where he and his comedy partner honor The Three Stooges and their legacy. He shares his story wherever he is asked and loves to make people laugh. He pays homage to his roots by taking a lot of physical abuse in the name of comedy. Plus Brad is just an all-around cool guy to sit and talk with. Brad loves his family and is super proud of his wife and daughter. Referring back to opening notes, and as Brad states in his interview, take nothing away from Shemp, Joe and Curly Joe as they also contribute to the endearing longevity of The Three Stooges. All of them, Moe, Curly, Larry, Shemp, Joe and Curly Joe had successful acting careers with and without The Three Stooges and were all amazing actors. Bard, thanks for sharing your family history with us. https://www.instagram.com/curlysgrandson/https://www.facebook.com/CurlysGrandsonhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1409431369168994https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdzsQCzUKg8Hpsc1ws_j3lwhttps://www.imdb.com/name/nm7795891/https://threestooges.com/https://www.shopknuckleheads.com/ #threestooges #curly #moe #larry #3stooges #shemp #curlyjoe #shortreels #physicalcomedy #threestoogesfan #joe #piefight

  • Holland King, Sister of Marcus King
    Oct 13 2025
    https://youtu.be/pS2253ALDss Back in Episode #30 we interviewed Marcus King’s father, Marvin King. In this episode we get a glimpse into the world of being Marcus King’s sister, Holland King. I love taking with siblings because I can relate to a shadow cast and looking for our sunshine. Although Holland does play a little saxophone she is not musically enthralled like her dad and brother. Holland loves Rock & Roll but has no desire to be center stage. Holland will proudly tell you “I’m blue collar and I’m the fighter of family”. To hear her talk about trying to get Marcus to put down his guitar come outside and play or climb a tree or even jump off the roof is hilarious. She says, nope he would sit on the porch and watch, cause all he wanted to do was just play his guitar. Holland tells us growing up she was living in a house where all she heard was guitar plucking and picking. She laughs now but she tells us somedays back then all she wanted was to be seen and heard, but all there was, was dad and Marcus’s guitars a plucking and a picking. Now when she and Marvin get together, he’ll sit the guitar down and enjoy their time together talking. When Holland says she’s Blue Collar, she means it. Holland is a spitfire, no holds barred dump truck driver! She loves it!!! But has plans to sign on as tour bus driver for an unnamed rock band. She loves driving her trucks, being a single mom to her two boys and getting quality time with father, brother and family. We also had a serious conversation about standing in the shadow and feeling invisible when the show is over and fans swarm Marcus and his dad. Well Holland, thanks to Relatively Famous, both you and I are no longer invisible and we telling our stories loud and proud. #ericclapton #stevierayvaughn #dumptruck #bluecollar #singlemom #truckdriver #roadie #guitarpickin #eminem #jellyroll #chrisstapelton #tourmanager #tourbusdriver #manmoney #dumptruckdriver
