In honor of PET WEEK here at Better Together with Maria Menounos, Maria’s husband Keven Undergaro teaches us all his tips and tricks when it comes to owning dogs and curing them of ailments like Rheumatoid Arthritis. He shares stories of when he and Maria were new dog owners and also touches on being an owner of a sick dog or a dog with medical issues, like they were. Kev and Maria are the biggest animal lovers. At one point in time they had 5 dogs, all of which outlived what their breeds are “supposed to” live until!! Kev takes us through this journey teaching us everything he has learned along the way, including how he helped their pup Noel who had Rheumatoid Arthritis. She was given only a few more months to live and ended up living 9 more YEARS!! We talk about diet, grooming tips, rescue pups vs getting pups from a breeder, how dogs’ teeth are mirrors into their health AND how ultimately dogs make us less selfish and truly are humans best friend. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support

YAS KWEENZ we fooled 'em again for this very special Regular Guy Friday: Lonely Guy Edition with Kev, hosting solo from another country and timezone. He messy.... BUT if you're defending and clarifying who you are over and over then you're not talking to the right people just ask Maria or a certain cast member from MTV's Challenge. Thank universe nightly for continuing to bring people who see you and make room for them to come. Your enemies are teachers who can guide you to your best selves. How having less can reduce anxiety, instill confidence and increase strength. How more Americans will migrate to more relaxed cultures. How you don't need to spend a lot on style even if you're on MTV.  How Bhad Baby and the Heal Squad have this one thing in common. How it's not Happy Halloween but Happy HalloKween. How Kev, without Kelsey, forgot the signature RGF sign off but remembered to  remind you all "I Got Juice Bitch.'  Sorry...."I Got Juice, Betch.' PS: The biggest question remains: Do the Heal Squad Got Juice, Bitch? Bhad Bhaby and Kelsey thinks so. Let us know in the comments. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support

On today’s episode, we talk with Saje and Serena Dyer, the daughters of spiritual thought leader and the beloved “Father of Motivation” Wayne Dyer. When their father suddenly died in 2015, the sisters were blindsided by grief and thrown into an adventure from loss to understanding, as they came to realize their father’s teachings with a new urgency, intimacy, and power as they applied them to their lives. On today’s show, Maria and the Dyer sisters sit down for our longest interview yet! The trio talk about how to connect with loved ones who have passed, how to recognize the signs that the deceased may be sending you and how to find peace when someone dies. We also learn how to be there for someone who is grieving (as we know it can be uncomfortable sometimes). We hope you enjoy part 2 of this amazing 2-part interview with Saje and Serena Dyer. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support
