    A Pet Psychic Reads Our Dog
    2026/03/25
    Ever wonder what your pet actually thinks of you? We sit down with an Animal Communicator and Pet Psychic who reads Becky, our dog. Let’s just say, we may never look at Becky the same way again! Plus, Mandy’s surprising story of when he was offered The Princess Bride. Oh, and what we really (maybe) would’ve done if acting didn’t work out. Please note - We record these episodes in advance so we don’t always get to respond in real time to what’s going on in the world.
