    Dave Stall returns to You Auto Know with three new vehicle reviews and a discussion about changes coming to California gasoline. Dave kicks off the show with his impressions of the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 all-wheel-drive electric SUV, calling it one of his favorite EVs to date. He highlights its comfortable ride, roomy interior, dual-motor performance, ultra-fast charging capability, and impressive array of driver-assistance technology. From its panoramic sunroof and sliding center console to its Bose audio system, blind-spot cameras, and regenerative braking, Dave explains what makes the IONIQ 5 an appealing everyday electric vehicle. He also discusses real-world driving range, Hyundai's warranty coverage, home charging, and why prospective EV buyers should consider their driving habits before making the switch. Automotive journalist Christian Barclay joins Dave to review the Cadillac OPTIQ Premium Luxury, Cadillac's compact luxury electric SUV. Christian discusses the OPTIQ's upscale styling, 33-inch curved display, 19-speaker AKG audio system, Google built-in technology, and available Super Cruise hands-free driving assistance. With approximately 303 miles of estimated range, 440 horsepower, and access to compatible Tesla Superchargers, the OPTIQ offers an intriguing combination of luxury and electric performance. Christian also shares his experience with its charging speed and explains why installing a Level 2 home charger can make a significant difference for drivers considering an EV. The conversation covers electric vehicle ownership costs, reduced routine maintenance, charging infrastructure, and the importance of matching an EV to your lifestyle. Dave and Christian then compare their experiences with the all-new 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid, the first hybrid version of Kia's popular three-row SUV. They examine its redesigned, boxier exterior, increased passenger space, upscale interior materials, dual panoramic displays, and available X-Line SX Prestige features. Christian reports approximately 31 MPG during his test drive and praises the Telluride's comfortable handling, technology, and family-friendly practicality. The discussion also covers its 4,500-pound towing capability, approximately $61,000 tested price, and competition with the Hyundai Palisade. Christian raises an interesting personal-safety consideration involving proximity-activated door handles and automatic unlocking, reminding listeners to evaluate convenience features from a real-world perspective. The episode wraps up with Dave and Brendan Thomas examining E15 gasoline and its potential introduction to California gas stations. They explain the differences between E10, E15, and E85 fuel, discuss California legislation allowing E15 sales, and consider the potential impact on gasoline prices, emissions, and vehicle compatibility. Dave notes that E15 availability at California pumps may take time even after authorization and discusses its intended use in 2001-and-newer compatible vehicles. The conversation also touches on California's evolving automotive regulations and the importance of understanding which fuel is appropriate for your vehicle. Whether you're shopping for an electric SUV, considering a hybrid family vehicle, or wondering what changes at the gas pump could mean for you, this episode delivers practical automotive insights.

    Dog Tales & More Radio: Animal Communication, Rescue Dogs & Understanding Pet Behavior

    Dave Stall and Brittany Sandoval welcome Suslynd, an animal communicator and intuitive, to Dog Tales & More Radio for a fascinating conversation about the emotional connections between people and their pets. Brittany brings along her rescue dog Mikey for an in-studio visit as Suslynd explains her belief that animals communicate through images, feelings, words, and intuitive impressions. The discussion explores whether animals have individual personalities, how they respond to human emotions, and why understanding a pet's behavior may require looking beyond traditional training methods. Suslynd shares the story of how she began practicing animal communication during the COVID-19 pandemic, describing an experience with a thirsty dove that inspired her to pursue formal instruction. She discusses her work with rescue animals, missing pets, and owners struggling to understand their animals' behavior. The conversation also explores the emotional challenges of helping aging or seriously ill pets, including a moving story about a rescue dog named Remy. Throughout the interview, Suslynd explains her spiritual approach to animal communication and how she believes intuition can help strengthen the relationship between animals and their families. Brittany puts Suslynd's abilities to the test with stories about her three rescue dogs: Mikey, Dusty Rose, and Clutch. The conversation covers Mikey's behavior in the radio studio, the dogs' relationships with one another, and Dusty Rose's role as the apparent leader of the household pack. Brittany shares the story of adopting Dusty Rose from a rescue connection in Tijuana, including the dog's history of head trauma, glaucoma, and vision loss. Suslynd offers her interpretations of the dogs' personalities and their interactions, while Brittany compares those impressions with what she has observed at home. Dave joins the conversation with stories about his own household of Rottweilers and Dachshunds, particularly Hope, a rescued Dachshund who immediately formed a strong attachment to him. The discussion takes an emotional turn as Dave explains why he sometimes hesitates to become too attached to pets, knowing how difficult it is when they eventually pass away. Suslynd encourages him to embrace the relationship and enjoy the affection Hope offers. The episode also explores synchronized howling, pet anxiety, animal rescue experiences, and whether difficult experiences from an animal's past can continue to influence its behavior. It's a thought-provoking discussion about intuition, compassion, rescue animals, and the special bonds people develop with their pets.
