Duane "Dog" Chapman
S5 • E4 Sep 30, 2022
Welcome back to #TheSimonettaLeinShow. Today's episode will be quite thrilling and eye-opening as I welcome Duane Lee Chapman, also known as Duane "Dog" Chapman, an American television personality known for popular TV programs such as Dog the Bounty Hunter on A&E, and Dog and Beth: On the Hunt with his late wife Beth Chapman on CMT. The shows mostly surround his life and adventures as a bounty hunter. We talk all about self-defense, so stick around. Dog is deeply involved in crime-fighting, advocating for tougher legislation to curb crime, and is launching several media ventures including a new TV show and podcast. Dog is a New York Times Best-Selling Author with a new book titled Nine Lives and Counting coming in 2023, along with a speaking tour. Additionally, he operates the Light Up the Darkness ministry with his wife, Francie Frane, whom he married in 2021. I discussed the backstory on how Dog got involved in crime-fighting and bounty hunting, his views on the landscape of crime in America, and much more. Please welcome Duane. Fun Facts: Duane Chapman came to international fame as a bounty hunter for his successful capture of Max Factor heir Andrew Luster in Mexico in 2003. Duane Chapman's autobiography, You Can Run but You Can't Hide, debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. For the ladies: Duane's tip is to have a taser on you for self-defense. Pepper spray seems to have become less effective - tune in for more self-defense tips. Dog was instrumental in the Gabby Petito search, and a documentary about it will be out on Lifetime TV.
