This week’s guest, Brian Anderson, is the only full-time Tick and Lyme Disease Specialist in the US. After seeing the devastating effects of Lyme disease, Brian has devoted several years to educating outdoor enthusiasts and outdoor workers on how to protect themselves from these little blood-sucking critters.
Brian shares with us how and why he took this path, the life cycle of ticks and what to watch out for, what to do if you get bit, the difference between DEET and Permethrin to ensure you are keeping yourself, your pets and your loved ones safe while enjoying the outdoors. Brian’s passion for educating people on Lyme disease prevention and tick safety is evident through the stories he shares, the humor he injects into the conversation and clearly represents why he’s known across the country as The Tick Terminator!
Listen in to our lively conversation with Brian and yes, Maureen and Helen itched through the entire discussion!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
