    If You See Something, Say Something!

    In this episode of Just So You Know, Jamie and Justina sit down with Ashley Byrne, Director of Outreach Communications at PETA, to talk about one of the most paralyzing moments an animal lover faces and exactly what to do when it happens. This conversation goes deeper than surface level takes. We explore what it actually means to respond to an animal emergency, why so many people freeze in the moment, and how being prepared can be the difference between life and death for an animal in need. We get into: • Step-by-step actions to take when you find an injured animal • How to navigate cruelty and neglect when authorities won’t act • Building your own animal rescue kit before you ever need it • When to call PETA — and how they can help 24/7 • Why staying calm is the most powerful thing you can do • Real rescue stories straight from the streets of New York City This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being prepared, being brave, and knowing that one person really can make a difference. If you’ve ever frozen in the moment… felt helpless watching an animal suffer… or just didn’t know who to call, this episode is for you. ⸻ IF THIS EPISODE RESONATED 👍 Like 💬 Comment your thoughts (we read everything) 🔔 Subscribe to stay tapped in for Season 2 ⭐ Rate us on Spotify + Apple Podcasts ⸻ FOLLOW ASHLEY BYRNE: https://www.peta.org https://www.facebook.com/peta https://www.instagram.com/ashlovesmongo https://www.instagram.com/peta ⸻ FOLLOW JUST SO YOU KNOW: https://www.instagram.com/jsykpodcast/ https://open.spotify.com/show/7D38Vg8MJKTYD8TKQe3KfZ?si=71510dba30a04af5 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/just-so-you-know/id1726036677 https://www.youtube.com/@jsykpodcast ⸻ FOLLOW US: Jamie: itsjamiescorner.com https://www.youtube.com/@JamiesCornershow https://www.instagram.com/itsjamiescorner/ https://www.tiktok.com/@itsjamiescorner https://x.com/itsjamiescorner https://www.facebook.com/itsjamiescorner Justina: https://www.instagram.com/justina.justina?igsh=NmhtbmhzZHRiMHZh&utm_source=qr https://www.instagram.com/justinaveganjourney?igsh=MTM0bDByMnZnZWdiaQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr https://www.youtube.com/@Justinadayinmylife ⸻ 🕒 CHAPTER MARKERS 00:00 Cold Open + Setting the Scene 00:56 Season 2 Intro + Why This Episode Matters 02:48 Why People Freeze in Animal Emergencies 05:43 Meet Ashley Byrne & Her Work at PETA 08:53 Step One: Stay Calm & Assess the Situation 13:17 Should You Handle It Yourself? 15:13 Build Your Rescue Kit Before You Need It 17:04 What to Keep in Your Car & Bag 19:44 When to Call Authorities 21:22 When Authorities Won’t Show Up 23:11 How PETA Can Help — 24 Hours a Day 25:32 Ronald the Pigeon & Real Street Rescue Stories 29:50 The Homeless Man, His Dog & the Hard Call 33:08 Open Admission Shelters & the Euthanasia Reality 36:31 The Crab in the Purse 42:07 Baby Animals & the Mistakes Well-Meaning People Make 45:31 Why You Should Never Feed an Injured Animal 47:33 Children & Animals — An Overlooked Danger at Home 53:33 Bunnies, Exotic Pets & Selfish Ownership 55:34 Getting Past the Fear of Looking Crazy 01:00:16 Jamie’s Bus Story — Always Say Something 01:03:08 How to Confront Abusers Without Putting Yourself at Risk 01:08:48 Final Resources & How to Stay Ready

    Why Chefs Can’t Ignore Animal Suffering

    In this episode of Just So You Know, Jamie and Justina sit down with legendary French chef Alexis Gauthier to talk about what it really means to be a chef in a world where animals are still treated like ingredients. What happens when a Michelin-starred French chef wakes up to the truth… and decides he can no longer profit from animal suffering? Alexis shares his powerful journey from serving foie gras, horse meat, and classical French cuisine built around animals… to completely transforming his restaurant, his career, and his voice into one rooted in compassion. This conversation goes deeper than food. It’s about ethics, courage, creativity, and the responsibility that comes with feeding people. We get into: • How Alexis went from traditional French chef to vegan advocate • The protestors who helped spark his transformation • Why chefs have a moral responsibility to rethink what they serve • How he turned a Michelin-starred restaurant fully vegan • The pushback he got from customers, staff, and the culinary world • Why some chefs are still too scared to change • Whether plant-based food can really be “fine dining” • The creativity required to cook without relying on animals • Why restaurants that go back to serving animals are missing the point • His message to chefs who know the truth but still won’t act This isn’t just about food. It’s about conscience, leadership, and what it means to stop hiding behind tradition. If you’ve ever wondered whether great chefs can lead real change… this episode is for you. ⸻  IF THIS EPISODE RESONATED 👍 Like 💬 Comment your thoughts (we read everything) 🔔 Subscribe to stay tapped in for Season 2 ⭐ Rate us on Spotify + Apple Podcasts ⸻ FOLLOW ALEXIS GAUTHIER: https://www.gauthiersoho.co.uk https://www.facebook.com/gauthiersoho/?ref=NONE_xav_ig_profile_page_web https://www.instagram.com/gauthierinsoho/ ⸻ FOLLOW JUST SO YOU KNOW: https://www.instagram.com/jsykpodcast/ https://open.spotify.com/show/7D38Vg8MJKTYD8TKQe3KfZ?si=71510dba30a04af5 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/just-so-you-know/id1726036677 https://www.youtube.com/ ⁨@jsykpodcast⁩  (https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UC48ZL4XeAHU17l0M7a9DF4A)  ⸻ FOLLOW US: Jamie:  itsjamiescorner.com https://www.youtube.com/ ⁨@JamiesCornershow⁩  (https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UC6IvbjvnCaYp3M-rHUAyULw)  https://www.instagram.com/itsjamiescorner/ https://www.tiktok.com/@itsjamiescorner    https://x.com/itsjamiescorner https://www.facebook.com/itsjamiescorner Justina:  https://www.instagram.com/justina.justina?igsh=NmhtbmhzZHRiMHZh&utm_source=qr https://www.instagram.com/justinaveganjourney?igsh=MTM0bDByMnZnZWdiaQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr https://www.youtube.com/ ⁨@Justinadayinmylife⁩  (https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCqaLAHOyrWAOF6nMKGpeW_A) ⸻ 🕒 CHAPTER MARKERS 00:00 Intro + Why Alexis Gauthier Matters 01:04 Why a Vegan French Chef Is So Powerful 03:11 Meet Alexis Gauthier 04:22 From Horse Meat to Michelin-Starred Chef 06:03 The Protest That Changed Everything 08:34 Rebuilding a French Restaurant Without Animals 11:41 The Challenges of Going Fully Vegan in Business 14:29 Would He Have Changed Without Protestors? 16:19 Why Some Restaurants Go Backwards 19:27 Why Lazy Chefs Hide Behind Animal Products 22:27 Why He Refuses to Hide the Word Vegan 24:58 Looking in the Mirror After the Change 27:08 What He Says to Curious but Fearful People 29:52 Why He’s Tough on Chefs Who Know Better 32:33 Why He Questions Their Humanity 36:53 Where to Find Alexis + His Work

    In this episode of Just So You Know, Jamie and Justina sit down with wildlife advocate and reality TV fan-favorite Blake Moynes to talk about the urgent realities of wildlife trafficking, rehabilitation, and conservation work happening around the world. This conversation goes deeper than surface level takes. We explore what it actually means to rescue animals in the wild, how trafficking and habitat destruction are affecting vulnerable species, and why conservation is far more complex than most people realize. We get into: • How Blake’s love for animals turned into a real conservation mission • The truth about wildlife trafficking and rescue work abroad • What animal rehabilitation actually looks like behind the scenes • Zoos, sanctuaries, and the ethical gray areas in conservation • The emotional and financial challenges of protecting wild animals • Why reconnecting people to nature could be part of the solution This isn’t just about loving animals. It’s about what it really takes to protect them in a world built on exploitation.

    How to win every vegan argument

    Confidence, Communication & Changing Minds | Justina & Jamie In this episode of Just So You Know, Jamie and Justina break down one of the most requested topics: how to confidently navigate vegan conversations without pushing people away. This isn’t about “winning” in an ego way. It’s about planting seeds, staying grounded, and learning how to actually reach people. We get real about the mistakes we’ve made, the emotions that come up, and the strategies that actually work when talking to non-vegans. We get into: • Why asking questions is more powerful than giving answers • How to stay calm when people challenge or trigger you • The biggest mistakes that push people further away • How to handle common arguments (protein, tradition, “personal choice”) • Using humor, relatability, and curiosity to open minds • How to make people think about the conversation long after it ends This episode is your toolkit for having better, more impactful conversations  without losing yourself in the process.
