Welcome back to Professional Anomalies! I talk to Jaron whom I met because I volunteer at Sammamish Animal Sanctuary in Renton, WA, and a beloved cow named Amelia needed a new prosthetic/orthotic hybrid for her short leg. Jaron and his team created the newest iteration and she's still rocking it today!

Find Jaron at Infinitely Able Pets on all social media platforms, including Instagram and Facebook.

Find Sammamish Animal Sanctuary at their website here! They are open every day except Monday, and please make a reservation online beforehand. It's free to visit but they do accept donations for small buckets of veggies to feed the animals as well as have an assortment of themed merch. They take both cash and credit. They're on Instagram here, too!

Here, watch Amelia when she a little smaller be fitted for her first prosthetic on an episode of Wizard of Paws called Saving Amelia. She's fully grown now and is almost 1,000lbs!

And here's the video of Amelia getting casted starring Jaron, John, Jason, Kathi, Amy, and more!

I was hungry when I thought to reach out to Hot Cakes and I was hungry when I recorded this episode, and I'm hungry now as I type these show notes as I'm about to list all of Brittany's recommendations.

Hot Cakes originated in Seattle just a few years ago and has expanded to three locations in Seattle: Ballard, Capitol Hill, and now SoDo! (Brittany says the new SoDo location has the best parking situation, by the way.)

Brittany shares why she became pastry chef, we talked about how she develops new menu items, and we talked about shirtless chefs and a little bit about The Bear and kitchen culture.

HOT CAKES MENU!

Brittany's favorite menu item that she didn't create: Gooey Brownie Cake (vegan/gluten free)

Brittany's favorite menu item that she did create: Vegan Ice Cream

Brittany's suggestion for the first-time Hot Cakes customer: Dark Decadence Cake with dry-burned caramel sauce and cocoa nib toffee

Here's the viral video of Tom Hardy eating their smoked chocolate chips!

And here is a link to Hot Stove Radio that Brittany appears on every once in awhile:

I had a chance to sit down with Lisa, a woman I knew when we were littles in Citrus Heights, California, where it was freakin' HOT! (I just returned from there; I'm still hot.) She's a forensic toxicologist.

Lisa became inspired by forensics shows on TV to pursue the field. You're gonna learn about fruit DNA and some "information" about horses I will let you discover.

She references this movie on Netflix, How to Fix a Drug Scandal. (In the episode, we refer to it as How to Solve a Drug Problem. Oops).

If you want to read about the guy who robbed me working at Blockbuster Video in 1995, I couldn't find the link to The Sacramento Bee, but his name was Michael Lee Monfort. He served some of his time at Folsom Prison, where I would eventually work for a bit. He died awhile ago but had he still been at Folsom Prison when I was hired, he would have been transferred.

The Golden State Killer was caught in 2018 using DNA technology thanks to genealogy websites. (I didn't think to ask Lisa to elaborate because I already knew what she was talking about!)
