food smells fine. he might be sick of the food. then they weigh him. they're like he's two pounds heavier than last time he came in. so he's eating. he's eating more than he's sick of eating. >> i think he's anticipating the baby. i think he may be getting a little jealous. do you have a plan for -- have you guys consciously thought about how you're going to have to make pesky involved in the baby's routine and everything? >> sort of. kathy from the n us, take out the stroller and put it there so he know what is it looks like. she was right because like the first month the, like he wouldn't even walk near it. but now he's calmed down a little bit. >> there is a gal in my neighborhood who goes around with her baby in the stroller and then her dog gets to go in the little basket kind of underneath the stroller where the toys go. they love it. it's the cutest little thing. i always go oh, look at that little family. >> i have a smaller dog.

as a man and as a man dog, i have to draw a line somewhere. >> you're a tough dad. >> no. he's not a foofy dog. they sit in purses. they sit in strollers. >> no, no, no. i know. i hear what you're saying. because dogs need exercise and so do kids. we're about to talk about that in cross fit. so that's a perfect thing. >> here is the deal, i have a gym membership. >> which is great because like i wanted my wallet to just be a hair thicker and now it is. so it's great. >> with the gym membership part? >> the actual card made my wallet thicker. obviously the money is disappearing from the wallet, so that's that. but i don't go because i get bored because it's like hey, here is a bunch of machines. have fun. it's like, i need someone to push my -- kick my butt and say do this. >> and that's why classes are

my stomach. >> i went like this. >> you guys are officially affiliated with crossat this time. tell us the difference between that and just being any old gym. >> in order to be crossfit level one or a crossfit box, you have to have an affiliation with crosses with fit headquarters, which means you take their training courses. you know their nutrition, their methodology, the way that they actually set you up for olympic lifting and functional movements and then certify you filiate and you're able to use their name. if you go to a gym that says they have x fit or whatever -- >> so you actually to have crossfit -- >> in order to be affiliated, you have to be legit. insurances, things like that. so we're legit. >> per too legit to quit. >> the workout, routines and kids, i'm not so familiar with crossfit gyms that have workouts for youngsters. tell bus that.

of times we have -- you have a baby and the mom is like, i got to go lose weight, but they don't want to leave the baby at home, or they wait a year or two years. and their health suffers and honestly, the stronger that mother is or the father is or the family is together, it's better for the whole family unit. so our passion is to reach families, obviously individuals as well. but have a safe, fun environment for everybody to work out. so we have an upstairs area where we can do preschool. we do teens and we do adults that when you're working out and your wife is working out or a mom is working out, her four-year-old can work out instead of going to a gym where you put them in a kids corner. and they don't do anything. and so it's like why is it okay for to you work out but your kid just sits there? >> 'cause man, if i was working out when i was four, this wouldn't be a thing. but it is. >> there is never a bad time to start. >> never. >> i know that you guys really welcome all fitness levels because this is scalable.

>> yeah. let's get into a warm-up. >> yeah. >> we're going to do a little warm-up. i'm going to guide you through a very small portion.

pushup. you can either release your hands or not and then push yourself up, and walk yourself back in. >> is it true planks were developed by satan? i heard that they are. >> this is the real deal, man. >> yeah. >> let's talk about your background for a second. >> let's talk about it in a plank. >> adorable. >> get down here. >> so you're from boston. >> yes. >> you've been doing this for many, many years now. you're training on an olympic tell us. >> it started with power lifting and then from power lifting i kind of got interested in olympic weightlifting. from there i started doing strongman and then i found crossfit that kind of incorporates a little bit of everything. >> she's a beast. >> she is a beast. but this is it! she's from boston and hasn't said hardly a word! >> i know. >> there we go. wow. we got about a minute. >> let's do this. >> i'm gog have her show you how

our pets nutrition depends entirely on their food intake. are pet parents really paying attention to what's in the bowl? joining us to talk about the benefits of a grain free diet and what we should be looking for on the label when feeding our furry friends is the pet

hello, dr. ruth. >> hi. how are you? >> i'm great, thank you. okay. i have two beautiful rescue dogs. what should i be looking for when i feed my dog or if i have a kitty, my cat? >> well, there is three main things i recommend people look for when choosing a pet food. the first is to make sure your pet food meets the nutritional levels established by the association of american feed afco. the second is make sure you pick a brand that's made by a reputable company, one with a proven track record for quality and safety. and then the third thing is to look for a product that a dog or cat food that's made with quality ingredients. >> that's excellent advice. thank you. i know it can be kind of difficult when you're in the store or the pet store and navigating those labels. so thanks for establishing those

grain-free diet. tell me a little bit about that. >> well, grain-free diets are very popular right now because of the fact that there are many animals that actually have allergies or intolerances to grains. and for those animals being fed a grain-free diet can really help improve their digestive or skin problems that are due to those grains. >> interesting. okay. are these grain-free foods, i mean, will i find them the shelves? are they out there? are they available? my second question is, are they expensive? >> great question. it used to be that if you were gonna find a premium grain-free pet food, you had to go to pet specialty stores. and they were more expensive. but now adays the great thing is that supreme source grain-free pet food is actually available at local grocery stores and it's

>> interesting. okay. so i know that when you change over a pet's food, there is this strategy to transitioning them slowly. do you have any advice if you're gonna switch over to grain free? >> yes. great advice. it is very important that when people do switch food that they do so slowly. you want to actually transition over a seven to ten-day period so that your pet does not have any digestive upset. >> it's interesting, you mentioned that some animals experiencing skin problems. i have a lot of dogs in my neighborhood in my life who have heavy allergies. do you think that this could benefit some of those animals? >> yeah. there is a number of different things that cause allergies. so allergies actually can be inhalant allergies or they can be food allergies. we know that many dogs actually have allergies or intolerances to grain, specific grains like

and rice. and so that's really why these diets have become more popular. i will say that supreme sort grain-free pet food is a complete and balanced diet. so it's something you can feed all dogs. but if you do have a dog that has an allergy to grains, it is something that's gonna really benefit them and you may see improvement in those digestive problems or skin problems. >> thanks for giving the heads up about this. it's very interesting. i think a lot of people are really paying a lot more at their pets these days. isn't that true? >> they are. that's a good thing. people love their pets and they want the best for them. and so it's good that people are paying attention. if people want more information, they can go to grainfreepetinfo.com. and read more about it. >> you feed this food to -- i believe you have a boxer. is that right? >> i do i have a boxer.

dog that for years actually had off and on digestive problems and when i switched him over to supreme source grain-free dog food, those went away. that's why i'm a fan. it's also a family-owned company that really cares about quality and safety. >> thank you so much, dr. ruth. >> this little cutie is gilbert. >> gilbert is adorable! here is a look at my jack russell, tucker. to find out more about how to difficult your pets the most nutritious diet possible, head are you on facebook or twitter?

welcome back to the blend. we all work hard to keep our credit score at a decent number. the number itself may not be as important as you think. now i'm totally confused. judah zakalik is here, peters and associates is here to explain. welcome back, sir. so much is being said about your credit score. everyone is saying it's so important. you have to make sure -- over 700, you'll be good. is there one credit score? >> no. there is hundreds of them. yeah. first of all, know >> why? >> because people need to make money. i guess people need to make money or there is different review processes for different kinds of credit. so for instance, a car loan or a home loan or unsecured debt. all these have different factors that they look at. >> so they're not all the same. >> they're not all the same. >> they all sort of factored in the same? >> no. some creditors, some potential lenders look at some credit scores differently than others.

others. >> so they go to different numbers? >> yeah. they go to different numbers. you've heard of the fico score. there is well over 60 fico scores. >> there we go. just in case if you would like to sing a song later. so there is different credit scores. they all are a different numbers like 850 might be good on one, but then the other one might go up to 1,000? >> it can range from 550 to 750 and some of those numbers, although they're different numbers, can actually mean the same whether you can get a loan or whatever your interest rate is going to be. >> there is a lot being said about the importance of a credit score. people are like you have to have a credit score over a certain number. this is the most important number of your life. is that the case? >> no. what's more important is actually the meat of your credit report. >> the actual report. >> 'cause the number is just like the number. >> the number is like anything. it's an index that kind of gives you a general outlook on how you are going to be as a debtor. but if someone is interested in lending you money, they're going to look more in-depth at your

have you been paying on time? how long ago did you have that derogatory mark? things like that. the meat and potatoes is much more important than the score itself. >> 'cause a lot of times they make you buy the credit score. but you can get an annual one on your own. >> yes. >> not free. >> no, it is free. >> it's free? >> but don't go to free. >> no. >> not free. >> just annual credit reports. the government web site, free and secure. you can get your credit score or the actual report from all three >> if you pay attention to the meat and potatoes, then all of a sudden the number will go higher if you focus on the issues. >> the most important thing first is to get out of debt. that's the most important thing. >> i do find, when you pay off your debt, your score goes up. i had a 560 and i had $800 in debt, i was poor as could be. >> that's a lot. >> it's a lot. wow. i had like no money. i paid off the $800. and it went up to like 660. >> right. >> i'm like wow. >> you can get better interest

can build your life. so i need people to understand that good credit is a good thing, of course. but credit is a tool just like anything else. sometimes good credit helps you save money. sometimes you need to sacrifice your credit to get out of debt so you can improve your contribute. it's like two steps back, take one step forward. >> i think people get worried when it's a bankruptcy. they're like i'm not going to be able to buy something for 20 years. not the case. >> not the case. normally a couple years. bankruptcy is not the only way to handle it. the first thing is understand yeah, you ha debt before you can start becoming financially stronger so more lenders will lend to you. >> if lenders aren't lending to me, what can i do? >> first, get out of debt. that's the first issue. second, you need to review the credit report to make sure it's showing up accurately. >> a lot of them don't show up accurately. >> a lot of lenders will -- yeah, have incorrect information on there or maybe it's intentional. maybe it's just by accident. but it's your job and responsibility to pull your

review it line by line. if you need help with that, lawyers can provide that help. we provide that help. there is other companies that provide that help. but if there is inaccurate information, we can fight it legally. we can get it removed free of charge. no charge to do it. in fact, we can actually maybe put some money in your pocket if they don't remove it quick enough. that helps you get out of debt, too. or become more credit worthy. so it's first important to review the credit report. clear up inaccuracies. things that are accurate ca be legally removed. so there is some companies that will advertise if you pay us, we'll get this bankruptcy removed or foreclosure removed. legally you can not do that. >> if you owe it, you know it. >> if they're being accurate, it's accurate. and if you're contesting it, perhaps you're committing fraud if you're not doing it correctly. so you have to be very careful. >> that could be expensive. and the other thing to keep an eye out for is the zombie debt. stuff that gets sold from another collection to another. and they open it like you just

seven years ago. >> it needs to be accurate. >> great having you. >> always a pleasure. >> thank you so much. you want more information on the services offered by peters and associates, or quote, unquote, the panda guys, call the number or visit the web site on your screen. they're also on facebook and twitter. 8108. that would be a -- 818 is a good credit score. calling all veterans, service members and spouses. bring your resume to vegas pbs's military job fair. it's tomorrow from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at vegas pbs flamingo. employers include caesar's entertainment, 24 hour fitness, metro and more. if you want more information, go

costumes. >> no. >> time to order pumpkin lattes. >> pumpkin lattes are delicious, but no. it's time to get your furnace inspected. >> you're right, shawn! >> you weren't thinking about furnace, were you? >> that's my point. here to tell us how to get it done is our friend if alaska heating and air conditioning manager, chad dymon and ro good morning. >> good morning. >> we have shtick for you. top of the mind, because it's thinking, you know, i should get my furnace checked today. but the day it breaks, you'll wish you did. >> absolutely. >> tell us why it's so important. >> first of all, there is safety things that are happening. there is electricity and there is gas that's up in the attic. so i don't know what could go wrong if those two were not operating properly. we're checking the

doing what it's supposed to. shuts off properly if something malfunctions. that's basically what we're checking. >> shutting off properly if it malfunctions. what are some of the major issues that come up at this time of year, we're approaching winter. so we're really rebooting the system and making sure it's ready to go? >> i run no a lot of blower motors that go out, control boards, igniters, pressure switches, duct work falling apart. there is a lot of things we run into. >> how fast they mr. these new homes, especially the duct it were. >> yes. >> the thing about duct work, it's all behind the walls, right? >> yes. >> it's that problem you hope isn't there, but you really can't see it. >> exactly. >> the one thing with the furnace people assume furnace is always hot air. but it's working during the summer as well. the blower motor is helping the cold air get up there. >> yes. it's constantly going.

>> you definitely want to get it annually. make sure you check it at least once a year, 'cause we're also cleaning it and -- so it's more than just check to go make sure it's there. it's a pretty thorough inspection. it should take between 45 minutes and an hour to go through the system and check all the safeties and things like that. >> and what are some of the issues that come up when you do this check before winter? are there certain things that need to be replaced? are there filters involved? you can tell how much i know about this. but i'm the perfect idea. i'm the homeowner who do doesn't have a sense of what you're going to check. >> sure. sometimes it's something simple like it needs to be cleaned. other times we'll swap out a part. like if an igniter is starting to go bad, then it's going to cause the flame to be more sporadic and less efficient and then that can overheat other components and then -- so it digresses from there. >> there is an open flame in

you should take care of that. >> do you know what's going on with your igniter? >> and the fact that you guys are able to bend the crevice where is they are. you're the one going up there, right? >> yes. >> i don't know how do you it. incredible. >> so speaking of robert, i'm glad you brought him up. one thing about alaskan that is very notable is that you guys have amazing reviews online. really strong reviews. we have a screen shot, i believe, of your yelp reviews. and i went on to yelp and i was i found a review i thought was pretty interesting. this is by a guy named mike s. he's here in las vegas who happened to mention our friend robert here. here is what he said. he said, our service technician, robert h, could not have been more friendly, polite and professional. he was extremely knowledgeable and even helped to make sure we had a better understanding of what needed to be done. bravo. bravo. >> here is the thing, you know as well as i do, miserable

general? >> sure. >> i think there is a little bit of a myth. and i feel like maybe i have had this perception, too. that if you live somewhere like las vegas, that to be involved in a credit union, you have to be -- have a giant employer or be part of a bigger group. that's not really the case. what's the difference between a credit union and a bank? >> so in order to become a member of america first, our charter is a multiple common bond. so you can either live, work or worship in clark county, nevada, or you can, we do have select employer groups that if you work there, you can join the credit union and get membership. so there is those two options there. and i think the biggest difference between a credit union and a bank is that we are member owned. so our members are the ones who have a share in the credit union. and we're not for profit. we typically when you have that

lower fees and better interest rates for members who come in and get loans. >> the bank works for the shareholder, the credit union -- >> we work for the members. >> which is awesome. that's why i like credit unions. we have somebody here on the show for our give back. you are our october winner. congratulations. >> thank you very much. >> and tell us, you're the director of something called star c d.c what is that? >> it achieve real success. it's a development corporation that is dealed indicated to going into communities that are in needhelping to uplift them by providing charitable services no matter what they may be. >> that's awesome. >> speaking of uplifting, i took a look an your facebook page before the show. it seems like you have so many positive messages up there. i know you're passionate about writing positive messages for young people. >> yes. >> you also is a very strong faith.

without god. i come from a background where i was one of those children oftentimes not knowing how we were gonna do things. but my grandmother left me one thing that was more valuable than anything in the world and that was to keep my faith where it belonged no matter what we call him, to know that there is someone in the higher beings that can always help when you you're in need. and to take that philosophy and bring it here on the earth and help all of those that would need that same help that i needed at some point in my life. >> that's phenomenal. incredible work. thank you for what you're d in our community. >> thank you for acknowledging that. >> with a large prize check.

the hulk and iron man and all the characters you grew up loving. >> your character, ghost rider, drives a souped up charger. tell me all about the car. >> it's amazing. the car itself has a 400 on the mood if the blower in fact worked, it would be like 1,000 horsepower car. but of course, that's highly illegal. so we can't really do that. it's great. robbie and the car, it's this whole other version of it that's really starting to take hold and people are really embraci. >> uh-huh. is your character inhuman or something else? >> no, he's definitely something else. they've asked me in the show, in the first four episodes and robbery always kind of gets prickly at the idea that they would think that he is an inhuman. and i keep asserting that my powers are derived from a little moment where i shook hands with satan to make things right.

to find out exactly how i got my powers because two weeks from now we'll be showing the origin story and showing how robbie came to be the ghost rider. it's one of the most visually spectacular episodes we've done to date. and i highly suggest you guys tune in. >> gabriel, we see your character ghost rider seeks revenge against a lot of people. do you consider him a hero or a villain? >> he does it compelled to. he's the host to this spirit that is just craves it. craves vengeance. and to those who spilled innocent blood, they can expect a finite deliverance of justice. >> a lot of people have been waiting to see your character. can fans expect that ghost rider's origin story will be told on the show?

we're in episode 4 now. next week is episode five and the following week we're all together going to finally see our take on robbie's origin in another mind blowing episode. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> watch gabriel heat up the screen tonight at 10 here on abc. >> thank you so much. you know what else is on abc? >> what. >> you're right here. hi. >> it was quick. >> you're so fast. >> dana perino. >> she has the world's most lovable dog. she has a huge thing on instagram with jasper. >> she's going to talk about her new book, too. plus will forte talking about the last man on earth today at 10 right after us. not the last month on earth.
