How the Karen Read Defense Breaks Reality Eric Faddis Breaks It Down  In this episode, we're joined by criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis to examine the jaw-dropping gap between the Karen Read defense theory and the actual evidence presented in court. With bizarre claims involving a house full of cops allegedly staging a murder, a body moved under a flagpole, and a silent German Shepherd turned prime suspect, we ask: does any of this hold up under real legal scrutiny? Eric brings his courtroom experience to unpack what prosecutors look for when evaluating “consciousness of guilt,” and why Karen Read's own words — including “Did I hit him?” and “I hit him” — may be more damaging than anything forensic. We explore the staggering leap the defense theory asks jurors to make: believing a wide-scale conspiracy involving police, neighbors, and friends, with no one slipping, confessing, or even sending a regretful text. This is where reality checks come in. We talk about Occam's Razor, jury psychology, and how emotional reactions can backfire when a defendant is in the spotlight. Faddis takes us through what makes a case prosecutable — and what jurors look for when the facts start making more sense than the fiction. If you've been trying to understand whether the defense strategy is brilliant, desperate, or just plain implausible, this conversation lays it all out. And if you think Karen's own statements don't matter, think again. #KarenReadTrial #JohnOKeefe #EricFaddis #KarenReadCase #ConsciousnessOfGuilt #MurderTrial #ForensicAnalysis #FlagpoleTheory #LegalBreakdown #HiddenKillersPodcastWant to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

I really hate the expression "there's so much to unpack" but regarding Celtic Frost's open solicitation for auditioning drummers,  THERE'S SO MUCH TO UNPACK.  "MUST BE WILLING TO LIVE IN SWITZERLAND".  "MUST BE WILLING TO TURN A BLIND EYE TO ASSAULTING SOMEONE IN A MOTLEY CRUE TEE".  "WE HAVE A STRONG IMAGE" (yeah, we've seen the back cover to 'Cold Lake'). We can spend all day getting bogged down in whether or not there's a contradiction between coveting a drummer who is "wild" but also expecting one who is "precise".  And that's exactly what I am going to do, I am going to get TOTALLY FUCKING BOGGED DOWN in whether or not there's a contradiction.  This examination will take place during the program's third hour.

Host: Jason Rigby   Guest: Elizabeth Anne Johnson, Animal Healer and Author Book: Know Your Dog's True Nature: Understanding Canine Personality through the Five Elements (Findhorn Press/Inner Traditions Episode Overview   In this enlightening episode of the HDL Podcast, host Jason Rigby welcomes Elizabeth Anne Johnson, an animal healer with nearly 40 years of experience and the author of Know Your Dog's True Nature. Together, they explore the ancient Five Element Theory from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as a sacred map to understanding canine personalities and the profound spiritual bond between humans and dogs. From the soul-level pact forged centuries ago to the karmic mirroring of rescue dogs, this conversation unveils how our furry companions guide us toward healing, self-discovery, and a deeper connection to nature.     Key Segments and Highlights   Introduction (00:00 - 01:06) Jason's Welcome: Jason introduces the episode with enthusiasm, highlighting Elizabeth's book and its promise to decode the soul of dogs through the Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. He frames dogs as more than pets—sacred guides reconnecting us to our wild hearts. Elizabeth's Greeting: Elizabeth expresses her excitement to join Jason and dive into this fun, spiritual exploration.   The Ancient Soul Pact Between Humans and Dogs (01:06 - 04:47) Question: Jason references a poetic line from the book—“Dogs too have endured and thrived beside us as we have beside them”—and asks about the soul-level pact humans made with dogs centuries ago. Elizabeth's Insight: She describes this pact as rooted in “kindred respect” between two natural beings—humans and dogs—meeting with curiosity and a sense of safety. Historically, dogs helped humans hunt and find food, while humans offered warmth, companionship, and protection. This 50-50 exchange has evolved into a modern pact where humans strive to hear dogs' voices and honor their wild essence. Practical Tip: Elizabeth encourages letting dogs spend time outdoors to stimulate their senses, a nod to their feral roots, enhancing the bond and their happiness.   The Five Elements: An Elemental Awakening (04:47 - 05:13) Jason's Prompt: Quoting the book's line about the Five Elements providing “X-ray vision” into a dog's personality, Jason sets the stage for a deep dive into Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water, noting their dual role in understanding dogs and ourselves. Elizabeth's Macro View: She frames the Five Element Theory as a 5,000-year-old, nature-based “mindful guidance system” fostering compassion, empathy, and understanding across species. Rooted in her personal journey—finding solace in nature amid a challenging childhood—the theory connects behaviors to natural cycles, offering a lens beyond mere archetypes.   Exploring the Five Elements (05:13 - 39:09) 1. Wood Element: Spring and Growth (07:46 - 14:22) Overview: Associated with spring, Wood dogs are determined, purposeful “army sergeants” (e.g., Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds, Rottweilers) excelling as working dogs in military or police roles. Traits: Athletic, fearless, competitive, with a need for movement and direction. Their emotional default is anger, manifesting as aggression or frustration in dogs. Spiritual Angle: Jason probes the interplay of energies when Wood dogs' growth isn't guided. Elizabeth explains their energy seeks movement; without clear boundaries, they take over, reflecting a need for humans to lead with presence and heart-centered direction rather than force. Practical Tip: Set consistent boundaries and offer gentle praise (“good dog”) to channel their potential, avoiding overstimulation with excessive rewards.   2. Fire Element: Summer and Joy (14:22 - 22:32) Overview: Fire dogs embody summer's joy, acting as magnetic “divas” (e.g., Golden Retrievers, Border Collies with red hues) who thrive on social connection and adoration. Traits: Charismatic, playful, prone to separation anxiety, with barking and licking as their sense expressions (tongue). Their emotional default is “disturbance of the Shen” (panic, anxiety) when overstimulated. Spiritual Angle: Fire's heart-centric nature leaves lasting impressions, reflecting humanity's draw to fire for warmth and memory-making. Elizabeth shares how these dogs linger in people's hearts long after they're gone. Practical Tip: Ground yourself and use the Yin Tang acupoint (between the eyebrows) to calm their heart fire, restoring balance during anxiety spikes.   3. Earth Element: Late Summer and Nurturing (22:32 - 24:50) Overview: Earth dogs, tied to late summer, are quintessential caregivers (e.g., Labs) who love family, kids, and routine, offering gentle, nurturing energy. Traits: Kind, generous, slow-moving, with a knack for service roles like Reading with Rover or disease detection. Their emotional default is worry or obsession. Spiritual Angle: Mirroring Earth's role in sustaining life, these dogs caretake unconditionally, teaching humans reciprocity with nature. Practical Tip: Maintain a peaceful, routine-based home to meet their need for stability and comfort.   4. Metal Element: Autumn and Purpose (24:50 - 28:22) Overview: Metal dogs, autumn's purposeful “librarians” (e.g., Jack Russells), are intelligent, driven, and inflexible, excelling in search and rescue with their strong noses. Traits: Methodical, reserved, with a deep need for purpose and trust. Their emotional default is grief, especially after loss. Spiritual Angle: Reflecting metal's mined rigidity, they teach precision and loyalty, challenging humans to earn trust through consistency. Practical Tip: Provide quiet recovery spaces and purposeful tasks (e.g., hiking, scent work) to honor their drive.   5. Water Element: Winter and Wisdom (28:22 - 39:09) Overview: Water dogs, winter's empathic shapeshifters, embody wisdom and sensitivity, often rehomed due to visceral fear (e.g., Labs in a broader sense, but defined by behavior, not breed). Traits: Deep, quirky, reflective, with hearing as their sense and a tendency to mirror human fears. Many, like Elizabeth's Pretzel, have traumatic starts. Spiritual Angle: Jason asks about fear and wisdom's alchemy. Elizabeth shares how water dogs' fear drives growth, reflecting karmic wounds (e.g., her own fearlessness turned off, now relearned). They push humans to face inner fears for mutual healing. Practical Tip: Offer patience, quiet presence, and trust-building to help them adapt, recognizing their role as spiritual teachers.   Preparing for a Soul Bond with a Dog (39:09 - 44:18) Question: Jason asks how to spiritually prepare for meeting a dog and ensure a soul bond beyond superficial attraction. Elizabeth's Advice: Be Present and Grounded: Quiet the mind, feel your feet, and breathe to let your heart—not brain—lead. Heart as Voice: Process through the heart first, then let the mind follow   Links: Purchase the book: ElizabethAnneJohnson.com/books Watch Elizabeth's TEDx Talk: Four Life Lessons from Our Old Dogs Websites: ElizabethAnneJohnson.com | 4LeggedWellness.com Instagram: @5elementdogs Facebook: ElizabethJohnson4Leggeds | Profile LinkedIn: 4LeggedWellness    

Karen Read Trial: A Dog Named Chloe and a Video in the Garage The judge just opened the door to some of the defense's wildest claims — and shut it hard on others. With the Karen Read trial finally set to start Tuesday, Judge Beverly J. Cannone delivered a rapid-fire series of rulings that give us a sneak peek into what jurors will — and won't — hear once the courtroom doors swing open. And yeah, if you've been following this case, some of these decisions are kind of a big deal. Let's start with the defense's theory. They've been loud and clear from the start: Karen Read didn't kill Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, her boyfriend. Instead, they've said she's the fall girl in a much bigger cover-up — one involving other people at the house where O'Keefe's body was found... and possibly a German Shepherd named Chloe. No, seriously. Chloe the dog is part of this. O'Keefe was found dead in the snow outside 34 Fairview Road in Canton after a night out in January 2022. Prosecutors say Read hit him with her Lexus SUV, drove off, and left him to freeze to death. They've charged her with second-degree murder, motor vehicle manslaughter while intoxicated, and leaving the scene of an accident that caused death. But the defense says O'Keefe was already hurt or killed inside the house — and then dumped in the snow to make it look like a hit-and-run. And they've pointed to Chloe the dog as a possible source of some of the injuries on O'Keefe's body. Judge Cannone's latest rulings address how far both sides can go with this theory in court. First, the Chloe angle. The prosecution had an expert, Dr. James Crosby, lined up to say that a dog couldn't have caused the injuries found on O'Keefe's arm. But Cannone said hold up — Crosby can testify about dog anatomy, even Chloe's specific jaw structure and measurements, but he can't outright say Chloe's off the hook. That leaves the door open just enough for the defense to argue their theory, while still limiting how far the prosecution can shut it down. Then there's the garage video. The defense claims there's footage from the Canton Police Department's sallyport — basically a secured garage — that could show a State Police trooper tampering with Read's SUV. They believe someone might've messed with the taillight to make it look like the vehicle had been involved in the crash that allegedly killed O'Keefe. Cannone's ruling? The defense can bring in an expert to extract a forensically sound copy of that one specific video file. But they can't go on a fishing expedition through the entire Canton Police Department's detective file. So they'll get their footage — and if that video shows anything sketchy, it could become a cornerstone of their argument. Also getting the green light: defense expert Garrett Wing. Cannone said Wing's got enough experience to offer useful input on certain disputed issues — though she didn't spell out which ones. Still, it's another tool for the defense to try to chip away at the prosecution's version of events. On the flip side, the judge laid down some hard deadlines for the defense. By 5 p.m. Friday, they have to hand over all their evidence related to two experts from a forensic firm called ARCCA — the same firm that testified during the previous trial, which ended in a mistrial. And this time, they have to say if these experts are getting paid — something they conveniently left out last time around. They've also got until Monday to disclose any testing the experts have done, are doing, or are even thinking about doing. In short, the judge isn't letting the defense surprise anyone in the middle of trial. Play your cards now, or don't play them at all. So, as the courtroom preps for opening statements, here's what we know: the jury will hear about Chloe. They'll see the garage video — if it shows anything. And the defense will have a little more room to make their case about a cover-up. But Cannone's keeping the reins tight. This trial is going to be a showdown. #KarenReadTrial #JohnOKeefe #TrueCrimePodcast #JusticeOrCoverup Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Cannone delivered a rapid-fire series of rulings that give us a sneak peek into what jurors will — and won't — hear once the courtroom doors swing open. And yeah, if you've been following this case, some of these decisions are kind of a big deal. Let's start with the defense's theory. They've been loud and clear from the start: Karen Read didn't kill Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, her boyfriend. Instead, they've said she's the fall girl in a much bigger cover-up — one involving other people at the house where O'Keefe's body was found... and possibly a German Shepherd named Chloe. No, seriously. Chloe the dog is part of this. O'Keefe was found dead in the snow outside 34 Fairview Road in Canton after a night out in January 2022. Prosecutors say Read hit him with her Lexus SUV, drove off, and left him to freeze to death. They've charged her with second-degree murder, motor vehicle manslaughter while intoxicated, and leaving the scene of an accident that caused death. But the defense says O'Keefe was already hurt or killed inside the house — and then dumped in the snow to make it look like a hit-and-run. And they've pointed to Chloe the dog as a possible source of some of the injuries on O'Keefe's body. Judge Cannone's latest rulings address how far both sides can go with this theory in court. First, the Chloe angle. The prosecution had an expert, Dr. James Crosby, lined up to say that a dog couldn't have caused the injuries found on O'Keefe's arm. But Cannone said hold up — Crosby can testify about dog anatomy, even Chloe's specific jaw structure and measurements, but he can't outright say Chloe's off the hook. That leaves the door open just enough for the defense to argue their theory, while still limiting how far the prosecution can shut it down. Then there's the garage video. The defense claims there's footage from the Canton Police Department's sallyport — basically a secured garage — that could show a State Police trooper tampering with Read's SUV. They believe someone might've messed with the taillight to make it look like the vehicle had been involved in the crash that allegedly killed O'Keefe. Cannone's ruling? The defense can bring in an expert to extract a forensically sound copy of that one specific video file. But they can't go on a fishing expedition through the entire Canton Police Department's detective file. So they'll get their footage — and if that video shows anything sketchy, it could become a cornerstone of their argument. Also getting the green light: defense expert Garrett Wing. Cannone said Wing's got enough experience to offer useful input on certain disputed issues — though she didn't spell out which ones. Still, it's another tool for the defense to try to chip away at the prosecution's version of events. On the flip side, the judge laid down some hard deadlines for the defense. By 5 p.m. Friday, they have to hand over all their evidence related to two experts from a forensic firm called ARCCA — the same firm that testified during the previous trial, which ended in a mistrial. And this time, they have to say if these experts are getting paid — something they conveniently left out last time around. They've also got until Monday to disclose any testing the experts have done, are doing, or are even thinking about doing. In short, the judge isn't letting the defense surprise anyone in the middle of trial. Play your cards now, or don't play them at all. So, as the courtroom preps for opening statements, here's what we know: the jury will hear about Chloe. They'll see the garage video — if it shows anything. And the defense will have a little more room to make their case about a cover-up. But Cannone's keeping the reins tight. This trial is going to be a showdown. #KarenReadTrial #JohnOKeefe #TrueCrimePodcast #JusticeOrCoverup Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Karen Read's Retrial Heats Up: K-9s, Cameras, and Constitutional Rights So, here's where things got spicy: the judge agreed that Aidan Kearney—aka Turtleboy—has a valid basis to plead the Fifth Amendment in this case. That right there is the kind of courtroom moment that makes legal dramas look tame. Prosecutor Hank Brennan even conceded it. Kearney's attorney, Timothy Bradl, said flat out that if called, Kearney would plead the Fifth, and the judge is letting him stay in the courtroom unless witnesses tied to his own witness intimidation case are on the stand. That's where we ended for the day: “We're all set until Tuesday.” But let's rewind a bit and walk through what led up to that mic-drop moment. The judge kicked things off with the defense's renewed request for a forensic copy of video footage from inside the Canton Police Department's garage. That's been denied before, but defense attorney Elizabeth Little said they've now got expert testimony swearing there's still relevant metadata that could be extracted. Special prosecutor Hank Brennan, on the other hand, basically said, “Sure, come download whatever we've got,” but drew the line at handing over a full image of the department's detective file since it includes unrelated case material. The judge didn't make a ruling on that one—so, still in limbo. Then there's the canine controversy. Brennan's not thrilled with the defense's dog expert, Garrett Wing. He said Wing has no formal certifications and has never testified in court. But Robert Alessi fired back, saying Wing is a leading national expert on law enforcement K-9s. Wing might not have the standard paperwork, but apparently, the guy's resume still carries weight. Meanwhile, Judge Cannone is standing firm on allowing Dr. Crosby—an expert for the prosecution—to testify, but she doesn't believe Crosby can definitively say the marks on John O'Keefe's arms came from Chloe, the German Shepherd allegedly involved. Brennan tried to argue those bite marks don't line up with Chloe's mouth dimensions, but the judge called that an “uphill battle.” Not the kind of response a prosecutor wants to hear going into opening statements. Then came the courtroom theater debate. Brennan wants to use an “independent reader” to read aloud some of Read's text messages during trial—maybe a plain-clothed officer or another neutral voice. Defense attorney Alan Jackson wasn't exactly sold, saying he needs more info before agreeing. Judge Cannone didn't love the idea either, warning it could turn into a theatrical presentation that doesn't belong in a courtroom. You know, courtroom not Broadway. There's also the ongoing tug-of-war over the ARCCA witnesses—the experts hired by the feds who testified in the first trial that O'Keefe likely wasn't hit by a car. Brennan wants a full breakdown of these experts' relationship with the defense since the defense ended up paying them after the mistrial. He's pushing for a pre-testimony hearing, accusing the defense of setting up a potential “trial by ambush” with possible late-arriving evidence. Jackson responded by saying ARCCA hasn't done any new testing—yet. But he admits the defense gave ARCCA new info as recently as March 25 and expects more updates soon. The judge still seems fuzzy on which expert did what, but Jackson insists they're not hiding anything. Speaking of evidence wars, both sides agreed to allow an alternative DNA analyst for the prosecution, and the judge asked for previews of the props each side plans to use in opening statements. The prosecution is bringing video clips. The defense? Just one photo. Back to the courtroom logistics—Judge Cannone wants the jury's scene view to go smoothly. Read will likely travel separately with her attorneys, but at least one defense attorney has to be on the juror bus to match the prosecution's presence. Cannone also expanded the buffer zone outside the courthouse after complaints from the first trial's jurors about noisy demonstrators. Apparently, the yelling and chanting could be heard during deliberations. Nothing like public protests to set the mood for life-or-death legal decisions. Now for the bigger legal chessboard. Read's team is making a Hail Mary pass to the Supreme Court, asking it to throw out two of the three charges, including second-degree murder, claiming the original jury actually acquitted her on those. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson already denied the request for an emergency pause on the retrial, but the full Supreme Court will consider the appeal on April 25. It only takes four of nine justices to hear it—but that's rare air. So far, Read's retrial team includes five lawyers, one of whom—Victoria George—was an alternate juror in the original trial. Yeah, that's some wild trivia. Opening statements are scheduled for April 22, and the new jury—nine women, nine men—will have plenty to chew on. The prosecution plans to lean heavily on Read's own words from her many interviews. Meanwhile, the defense continues to allege a cover-up involving law enforcement, claiming O'Keefe was beaten inside the house, bitten by a dog, and left outside—not struck by Read's car. And sitting in the gallery this week? Just some cousins and friends of John O'Keefe. His brother and parents weren't there for this round. #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #TrueCrime #CourtroomDrama Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

This week we get to meet Athena, an 8 month fluffy German Shepherd weighing 22 pounds, and Colt, a 9 year old brindle and white…

Imagine a game so successful that during the making of it, you actually end up coming up with three games. That's what Capcom did when they were prototyping Resident Evil 4. They got that, they got Devil May Cry and they also got the game we're talking about on this podcast. We're going back to 2005 to take a look at a survival horror that didn't get quite as many sequels as those other series just mentioned. We're talking Haunting Ground.On this episode of Stealth Boom Boom, we chat a little bit about the much better Japanese name of DEMENTO, as well as a tagline that Josh likes and doesn't like at all. We also look at a trailer with a lot of slobbering and panting, their reasons for including a dog, and mo-capping said dog.Here are some of the things you're gonna hear us chat about in our review: being reactive after you are definitely spotted by one of your pursuers; hiding under beds, inside wardrobes, and behind doors; Alien: Isolation; a distinct lack of fear; special hiding spots; Hewie the attack dog; fairy earrings; the sound of vase-breaking vs dog-barking; how much your bond with your pooch; German Shepherd-sized holes; some real headscratchers of puzzles; some of the flattest boss fights; shoddy glowing fireflies; Resi 4 comparisons; nice-looking maps that are a bit hard to read; a story with some heavy sexual themes, delivered through some ludicrous characters and dialogue; Manhunt; the strangely calm Fiona Belli; setting the scene via static camera angles; the looks of a late PS2 game; and a wonderful lack of loading screens. After all that, we take you through what some of the critics were saying about the game around the time it came out, and then we give you our final verdicts on whether Haunting Ground is a Pass, a Play, or an Espionage Explosion.For those who would like to play along at home, we'll be discussing, reviewing and dissecting Batman Begins on the next episode of Stealth Boom Boom.IMPORTANT LINKS TO THINGS

Hey there Dog Lover!

Buckle up, babes—this episode of Unapologetically Myself is a full-on rollercoaster of reality TV delusions, hallway poop scandals, and dating truths. I brought back my BF Stefanos Vitirados (aka Steve) because y'all loved him last time, and trust—he brought the whiskey and the hot takes. First up: The April Fools prank of the century. We tricked my dad into thinking we got scouted for a reality show. Like, full-blown fake producer email, camera crew fantasy, the whole nine. The man is LIVING for it—planning his retirement, dreaming of $1M-per-episode deals, and texting my mom like he's about to be on Bravo. And yes, we're filming the whole thing for the real show: Crazy Carluccios. Stay tuned. Then… PoopGate 2025 hits. Our apartment hallway became a crime scene after a rogue dog dropped a steamer and didn't clean it up. Now the building manager is accusing everyone on our floor. We know it wasn't Luna (our massive German Shepherd), but there's still paranoia. We're breaking down the poop logistics like we're on CSI: Dog Edition. It's gross, it's funny, it's peak apartment living. Movie night recap: We hit the Hell of a Summer premiere—directed by Finn Wolfhard (yep, Stranger Things). This horror-comedy slasher was so good we'd watch it again. Huge props to Finn for making us laugh and scream, and yes, we walked the black carpet pretending to be celebs.Now let's talk relationship pressure. People are out here in our comments DEMANDING a proposal like they're part of the wedding planning committee. Steve claps back, we talk timelines, and we both agree: Stop rushing people into life milestones. It's not 1953. We just moved in together—let us vibe. White Lotus S3? We haven't watched the finale yet, but so far nothing has happened. No murder, no scandal—just a lot of fancy dinners and dramatic staring. But shoutout to Victoria Ratliff who's serving Patricia-from-Southern-Charm energy. She's the only reason we're still tuned in. Netflix's Adolescents = a must-watch. One-take episodes, insane acting, and real emotional gut punches. We talk about the heartbreaking moments, the insane talent of the young cast, and why it's a show every parent should watch. Trust me, you'll cry. Sydney Sweeney + Glenn Powell = Red Carpet Chemistry. We discuss Sydney's recent breakup, rumors about Glenn, and how wild it must be to date an actor. Would Steve be cool watching me do a rom-com with a hot co-star? LOL, hard no. This episode is for anyone who's ever: ● Been pressured to get engaged by nosy aunties or TikTok trolls ● Had to defend their dog's honor in an apartment scandal ● Got ghosted by someone who invited them to Paris on the first date ● Is OVER modern dating nonsense and just wants honesty, laughter, and some damn guacamole

Detective work in the cartoon world is a dog-eat-dog racket. Ace Hart, Private Eye, he'd know. This animated German Shepherd deals with every case thrown at him by his animator Eliot Shag, and even has the nerve to talk back if it's not going so great.

Send us a textWelcome to today's episode of Bookish Flights! This episode is the latest meeting of the BFF Book Club! If you love books, author meet-and-greets, and in-depth conversations, the BFF Book Club is for you. Each month, we dive into a new book, and this month's selection is What Happened to the McCrays? by Tracey Lange. Tracey was born and raised in New York City before heading west to graduate from the University of New Mexico with a degree in psychology. After owning and operating a mental health services company with her husband for fifteen years, she completed the Stanford University novel writing program while working on her first novel, the New York Times bestseller, We Are the Brennans. Tracey currently lives in beautiful Bend, Oregon with her husband, two sons, and beloved German Shepherd.Episode Highlights:

Have you ever noticed your dog seeking higher ground—jumping on the couch, standing on your lap, or even claiming the top of the stairs? In this episode, we explore how elevation impacts a dog's perception of status and hierarchy. We discuss what it means when a dog positions itself higher than others, how dogs interpret height in their social structure, and what you can do to ensure elevation doesn't lead to unwanted behaviors. Dog Fact of the Week: In 1990, a blind man named Bill Irwin accomplished an incredible feat—hiking the entire 2,000+ mile Appalachian Trail with the help of his seeing-eye dog, Orient, a loyal German Shepherd. It took them eight months to complete the journey, proving the incredible bond and trust between humans and their dogs.

Send us a textPulling on lead – it's the frustration that can transform a peaceful dog walk into an arm-wrenching ordeal. Whether you're dealing with a 7-kilo terrier or a 40-kilo German Shepherd, pulling creates a disconnection that leaves both ends of the leash frustrated and stressed.In this revealing conversation, Lauren Langman and Dave tackle one of the most common dog walking complaints head-on. Drawing from their extensive experience with both pet dogs and professional working canines, they dispel the myth that pulling is just something dog owners must endure. Lauren shares how her own dog Skittles becomes almost cognitively impaired when in full pulling mode, while Dave recounts his journey challenging the traditional police dog training approach that encouraged pulling as a way to "build drive."What makes this discussion particularly valuable is the practical, field-tested advice from trainers who've worked with thousands of dogs. You'll discover why environment management matters so much (hint: driving to the park instead of being pulled there makes a huge difference), how equipment choices can help or hinder your progress, and specific games you can play to create value in walking beside you. The trainers also explain why loose-leash walking isn't just about comfort—it's about safety, legal considerations, and the perception of control that affects how others view you and your dog.Whether you're struggling with a dog who pulls like a freight train or just want to refine your walking experience, you'll find actionable techniques here that go beyond basic obedience into building a dog who genuinely wants to be with you. Ready to transform your walks? Learn how two world-class trainers solved their own pulling problems and how their 10 Days to Stop Pulling course can help you do the same.Support the showIf you're loving the podcast, you'll love our NEW Sexier than a Squirrel Dog Training Challenge even more!

Hey babes! This episode is a wild one, so grab your iced coffee and get comfy because I've got my boyfriend, Stephanos Vitoratos — aka Steve, aka the guy who somehow puts up with my chaos — in the studio with me. We're back with season 2, recording from the new and improved Flexwork Studios, so you know I had to kick things off with a bang.We're spilling all the tea — and trust me, it's scalding. From Bravo drama to my embarrassing viral MooMoo moment (yes, I still wear it — Steve's just salty about it), we're covering it all. Steve's a total Bravo guy — I know, shocking — so we're diving deep into Vanderpump Rules, Summer House, and all the latest reality TV mess. We get into: · Carl and Lindsay's awkward “We're broken up but still stuck in the same house” vibe · Paige and Craig's breakup — did anyone not see that coming? · That new guy who casually dropped “I was at a sex party” like it was no big deal · Plus, my take on Lindsay's oversized sonogram announcement (love her & I would do the same…) Oh, and if you thought that was messy, wait until I spill the most chaotic dating story of my life. Let's just say it involves my ex, a hospital stay, and a very shady nurse. You seriously can't make this stuff up. We also answer some spicy questions from you guys, like: · Do men and women really have different roles in relationships? · Is it okay to keep some secrets from your partner? · How big of a rock would Steve buy me? (Plot twist: I have thoughts.) · Plus, Steve gets all finance bro and drops some seriously good money tips — and honestly, he's kinda spitting facts. If you're out here trying to budget like an adult (ugh), Steve's got you covered. He breaks down: · Why “get rich quick” vibes are a total scam · Why you need to chill with the crypto gambling and focus on actual investing· How playing the long game with your money is where it's at · Why chasing clout with expensive cars or designer bags just isn't it Basically, he's the guy you want in your corner when you're trying to avoid living off ramen by the end of the month. Of course, we couldn't keep things serious for too long. We get into our relationship drama — like the time Steve refused to let me sleep over for months (rude) — and why our apartment is now covered in German Shepherd hair and random strands of my hair that somehow end up everywhere. Seriously, how does my hair travel like that? We also break down the new Hulu show Paradise, where people escape the end of the world by living in some creepy underground dome. Spoiler alert: I'd rather go down with the world than survive in a place with no TikTok and no iced coffee. Hard pass.This episode is a whole vibe — Bravo hot takes, messy relationship moments, finance tips (that might actually help you get your life together), and lots of laughs. So grab your snacks, cozy up, and hang out with us. If you want more chaos in your life, you can follow me on Instagram at @amanda_carluccio & TikTok at @amanda_carluccio.

Since he was a young boy, KONG company founder, Joe Markham has been fascinated with animals of every kind. He credits his German Shepherd, Fritz with providing him long ago the inspiration for the famous beehive shaped pet toy. His latest venture petKORE.com is a labor of love to produce training and enrichment devices suitable for underserved zoo, aquarium, equine and farm species. Joining in the conversation about the challenges of developing larger natural rubber based toys for exotic species is long time animal trainer, Chuck Tompkins. According to Joe, making one of anything is relatively easy....and expensive. The key to manufacturing success is being able to produce many, efficiently and at a reasonable price that customers can afford. To that end Joe has spearheaded new technology and rubber blends to make larger products possible. With the initial enrichment products available now, Joe is excited to see how animal professionals will utilize these items in unique and creative ways for the well being of all animals.

Garrett writes "So I'll just start from the beginning, I moved to Tennessee with my mom around the age of 8-9 we've lived here ever since. I began a fascination with Bigfoot, or Sasquatch, a few years later after me and my Mamaw would watch finding Bigfoot on Tv almost every night. Being a kid and growing up watching the show, of course my first instinct was to go and try the things they did and of course that didn't really get much of anything. A few years later me and my buddy got back into the show and we decided to give it a try again. We went to the woods and did the wood knocks and the howls and eventually we got something that sounded like a knock. That was it for that day so we really couldn't say what it really was, but we continued this for weeks and everyday we'd get a knock. Now keep in mind, this area is now huge and while there are big patches of woods a lot of them are getting torn down and developed into schools/houses/neighborhoods. But at the time of this first incident it was still fairly new development with plenty of deep woods. The knocks eventually escalated into whoops and howls as responses and we thought it was the coolest thing ever when we got that first whoop that kinda confirmed to us that we had a Bigfoot in the area. This again continued for weeks until one night we were out there doing the whoops and the knocks and we got this one loud knock that sounded closer than usual, we took a second and did a whoop of our own before we heard thundering footsteps and branches crashing down toward us, we booked it out of the wood line and back to the cul-de-sac that the wood line connected to and made it about 20 yards from the wood line before turning back around to face it. There is a house in that sits directly next to the woods and it had to be around 9-10pm so they had their outdoor flood lights on, we continued to stare until we saw a hand reach around one side of a tree and it stepped out into the flood light revealing itself kinda leaning out from behind the tree. I would estimate it would have to be around 7-9 feet tall but it had a very strong facial resemblance to Patty, I believe it was female I couldn't tell exact hair color as it was dark and I wouldn't have been able to see it at all if not for that flood light, the thing that sticks with me most was I could feel the eyes even though I couldn't see them because they were sunken in its brow. It felt as if they almost burnt a hole in me and that's the one thing I can always remember from that. Fast forward a few years and me and my dad are fishing a spill way in Taylorsville Kentucky, it's a pretty remote spillway that comes directly from a large dam so it maybe had 2-3 other people there that day. It was probably around 5-6pm when we started hearing knocks up in the woods and my dad was never a bigfoot believer but I pointed them out to him and we listened as it continued to this, we then could hear it walking around just out of eye sight in the wood line very large heavy methodical footsteps but you could tell it was on 2 legs, it was pacing for maybe 5-10 minutes before a Red Bull can came flying out of the woods and landed behind another fisherman that was fishing directly in front of the woodline; but after it did that, that's was all for that day. Cut to next day and we went back to the spillway but this time we hiked down stream up in the woods to a launch ramp where we found a crappie hole. We had been catching them cast after cast for maybe half a hour when around the bend of the creek where we couldn't see, we heard what sounded like something jump in the water and cross the creek. We didn't think much of it as there are deer and other animals out there since it is very far out in the middle of no where. After that, a very large oak tree up the hill of the other bank that I would say was probably 6-10 feet around starts shaking and not just like the wind because no other trees are moving, this thing is just rocking back and forth violently and I told my dad “that's the Sasquatch they do that as an intimidation display”. It did it for a few minutes before it stopped and then we could hear it pacing back and forth inside the woodline on the other bank, it then started growling/grunting and threw a few rocks before my dad decided we needed to get out of there. We both came to the conclusion that it wanted our fish we were catching as that place is full of invasive Asian carp and you aren't allowed to put them back after catch so most people leave them on the bank to die. Fast forward to about a month ago, I'm 21 and just had my first baby and me and fiancée had just moved into our house in March of this year. The house we live in now is about 10 driving minutes away from where I came face to face with the first Sasquatch for context. We have a 1 year old German Shepherd and as you know they are highly alert and protective dogs. Our property backs up to one other house and a farm followed by woods and the farmer has birds of all kinds- turkeys, chickens, ducks, etc. Well about a month ago my fiancée took the dog out while I was at the gym and she said she got this really uneasy feeling like she was being watched and that our German Shepherd (Bear) wouldn't stop staring at the woodline. After I came home from the gym it was probably 1:30am, not my usual time as I was off schedule and running behind. Most of the time the latest the dog would go out was around 10-11pm. After I got home and got settled I took the dog out, he was in the yard when he froze and normally with him being a German Shepard he'd bark first and think later, but this time he froze and all of his hair slowly stood up before he went into this crazed angry barking toward the woods where I had to pull him back inside, stuff like this continued for about a week until I went to gym and got home late again. This time it was around 2am and I took him out again and to paint the picture for you a little better there's a barbed wire fence separating our property and the farmers property, but as we got outside I heard those same crashing footsteps as I had heard years earlier this one was much bigger probably 8-10 feet tall but so much wider I couldn't get any details other than that and the long hair hanging off the arms because of the light in the yard from the house behind us. But anyway this thing ran up to the fence line and slammed its fist into a tree and let out this deep grunt/growl. I was petrified and I didn't know what to do in the moment and my “guard dog” was frozen in place not barking or making a single sound my first thought was it was going to kill us. My dog wouldn't come to me after I got to the point of maybe I should go inside so I had to go out in the yard with this thing still standing there staring at us and grab my dog and drag him inside. I have more details about that exact encounter and some other stuff that happened leading up to and after that. Last thing I will share is I believe I have a video of the Sasquatch banging on the side of the farmers barn trying to get to where he stores the birds I'll attach it below but you can hear deep thuds followed by the birds freaking out and that video was taken around 1am also so I can confidently say it wasn't someone using heavy machinery or anything like that. Anyway thank you for listening and if your interested I'd love to share more."
