Speaker 1: Smell us now, Lady, Welcome to Meet Eater Trivia mea podcast.
Speaker 2: Welcome to Meet Eater Radio Live. We're coming to you
Speaker 2: from met Eater hqan Bozeman, Montana, but we're not live today.
Speaker 2: I'm your host, Spencer Newhart, joined by Ryan Callahan, Giannis Putelus,
Speaker 2: Randall Williams, and Corey Culkins. This is a pre recorded
Speaker 2: episode because we're on Christmas Break. On today's episode, we're
Speaker 2: answering your questions from how to pick the perfect puppy
Speaker 2: to unique ways to prepare ground meat. This entire show
Speaker 2: is Q and A the boys. It is dang near
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. You got any New Year's resolutions?
Speaker 3: Henna be working?
Speaker 1: I think we should tackle the fact that us adult
Speaker 1: man all in this rumor on Christmas break much like
Speaker 1: your children.
Speaker 2: Uh huh, and well.
Speaker 1: I think it's important to note that in order to
Speaker 1: go on Christmas break, you have to do three times
Speaker 1: the amount of work ahead of time in order to
Speaker 1: then have the break.
Speaker 4: Which is fine.
Speaker 5: The past two weeks have convinced me that I don't
Speaker 5: really want a Christmas break moving forward. Just too much stuff, plus,
Speaker 5: you know, less time at home with the family.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, you two without the kids obviously don't understand it.
Speaker 6: Kids get about sixteen days off coming up here. Oh,
Speaker 6: we're in the midst of it, right, hmm as we're live.
Speaker 5: Here, am I right? Phil?
Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah, appreciate the choir bud. All right.
Speaker 2: The question was does anybody have any New Year's resolutions?
Speaker 2: It's January tewond when the show comes out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna start drinking at.
Speaker 2: Work, okay, Cal has an Edmund Fitzgerald logger.
Speaker 1: Yeah, eight Lake's Brewing Company. It's a porter. Okay, very
Speaker 1: tasty six percent.
Speaker 4: She's a doozy thirty seven. It's pretty tough for me
Speaker 4: these days.
Speaker 2: He's going to start talking like Michigan you're here soon.
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's a resolution, but I did
Speaker 4: get lucky enough to sign up and get onto the
Speaker 4: roster to run the Crazy Mountain one hundred and so
Speaker 4: it's pretty exciting.
Speaker 2: When is it.
Speaker 4: It's July twenty fifth, Okay, so I have roughly six
Speaker 4: months of heavy duty training and that started by now.
Speaker 5: Yes, we should backpack in there and just set up
Speaker 5: a checkpoint.
Speaker 4: That is a great, great idea. We did my family
Speaker 4: and I did that last year. At Sunlight Lake and
Speaker 4: watched all the runners come through. We stay up until
Speaker 4: like midnight.
Speaker 5: Is that what lit the fire for you? No, like
Speaker 5: I should be out there.
Speaker 4: I paced the year prior to that, and that got me.
Speaker 4: I'm pretty excited to do it.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel like I could pack in there with the
Speaker 1: old steel chainsaws and help out a lot of the
Speaker 1: runners there, because there's a lot of blowdown in that race. Really, Yeah,
Speaker 1: miles through that country.
Speaker 4: Oh, I think they have it. Well, I haven't heard that,
Speaker 4: but it might be a thing. Well.
Speaker 1: Randall's brother he did a pre run and.
Speaker 5: He did like sixty miles like a couple of weeks
Speaker 5: before the race to just check out part of the course.
Speaker 4: And because he was running it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but then he got into a horrific bicycle accident
Speaker 5: and destroyed his arm. But he did run into a
Speaker 5: lot of blowdown on that shakeout run, So I can't
Speaker 5: say if he was officially on the course at that
Speaker 5: point in time. The navigation skills are questionable at best,
Speaker 5: but he did encounter blowdowns on that run.
Speaker 1: I did sit with him on the couch while he
Speaker 1: just destroyed like four pizzas by himself.
Speaker 4: Yeah, which was cool. To see.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we just got back from the rodeo.
Speaker 1: Yeah he was being I mean, yeah, he was having
Speaker 1: a great time.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Any other resolutions in the room besides Yanni's making a
Speaker 2: big old run up a mountain Corey.
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm hoping to help deplete the predator population
Speaker 6: in Region one of Montana. Hopefully when this podcast comes
Speaker 6: out on the second, I'll have a couple down, a
Speaker 6: couple of wolves down.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not reaching.
Speaker 2: Too far into twenty twenty five.
Speaker 6: Hopefully by the first week I have my first.
Speaker 5: Wolf in the back of the truck.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I want to start creating a history with a
Speaker 2: place that I hunt. Ever since I moved to Montana,
Speaker 2: I don't have a place that I've went back to
Speaker 2: more than two consecutive years, and that kind of disappoints
Speaker 2: me that looking back at like when I'd hunt the
Speaker 2: same property when I lived in South Dakota, like for
Speaker 2: five or six straight years, sometimes a decade in some cases.
Speaker 2: You'd like it to know bucks and spots, and you'd
Speaker 2: like really create relationship with the place, and I haven't
Speaker 2: had that since I moved out here, So I need
Speaker 2: to start finding a place. It's like that's my spot.
Speaker 2: That's a spot I go to every year and I
Speaker 2: think next year it begins. Is like when I find
Speaker 2: the place that I go to for the third consecutive
Speaker 2: year and then that all of a sudden becomes a
Speaker 2: place in a decade from now that I'm still going
Speaker 2: to to haunt.
Speaker 5: So to clarify, are you still looking for that spot
Speaker 5: or might you go back to one of the spots.
Speaker 2: I have some spots in mind, but I'd also like
Speaker 2: love to start, you know, a new spot, and find
Speaker 2: a place this coming year that I think could be
Speaker 2: that kind of spot. So I'm just like missing missing
Speaker 2: a thing in my fall where I really deeply know
Speaker 2: a place and I want that back.
Speaker 4: It's lovely, I hear you. I hear it because it's
Speaker 4: good to have both, because I think there's a lot
Speaker 4: of credit to give to someone that doesn't hunt more
Speaker 4: than a year or two in the same spot, because
Speaker 4: you're forced to learn new places and be successful in
Speaker 4: new places. But you can have both, Yeah, you can
Speaker 4: definitely have both. And I love going back to a
Speaker 4: spot you know that I've been to, and I know
Speaker 4: it's it's more casual. It takes away some of the
Speaker 4: stress for me.
Speaker 1: No, that's true. But it is a crutch though too.
Speaker 1: So like if you're the person who's like, well, our
Speaker 1: family hunting camp is this and that's my week of hunting,
Speaker 1: there's there's It puts some limitations on your effectiveness as
Speaker 1: a hunter because, like you just you got to be
Speaker 1: challenged with you know, the figuring stuff out as you go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, listen, I think it made me a better hunter.
Speaker 2: But I want a spot. That's my spot now and
Speaker 2: I haven't had that living in Montana yet. Next year
Speaker 2: it starts, Randall, call any resolutions before we start tackling
Speaker 2: these questions.
Speaker 1: Well, you want to jump back to the Edmund Fitzgerald
Speaker 1: porter here.
Speaker 5: There's a tremendous amount of oxidation around the well.
Speaker 1: I would I want to know, like, oh, I think
Speaker 1: this be like the best gimmick in the world. So
Speaker 1: for folks who don't know, the Edmund Fitzgerald sunk okay,
Speaker 1: and it's a big rusty hulk and the cap on
Speaker 1: the beer bottle rusted all the way around. That was
Speaker 1: like part of the flavor profile. We got those beers
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. I think I'm real sitting Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah.
Speaker 5: They came into a freighter from the Great Lakes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have to spend a year underwater in order
Speaker 1: to be sold.
Speaker 4: Like I'm in, I'm in.
Speaker 1: So like hunting related things, I need to kind of
Speaker 1: came to the conclusion this year that my Montana mule
Speaker 1: deer spot is just like it needs to be burned.
Speaker 1: The habitat is wrong at this point to where it
Speaker 1: used to be. You know, it was hard to intercept
Speaker 1: Muldier in there, but when you did, they were big.
Speaker 1: Now it's like kind of like, oh, oh my god,
Speaker 1: there's a deer in here, and it's a it's a
Speaker 1: hard place. So I need to start expanding and doing
Speaker 1: some some summertime exploration of some other spots, which I just.
Speaker 7: When you're gonna say you'd burn it, appreciate habitat management there,
Speaker 7: so that that would be one thing.
Speaker 1: And he did go find know a new good mule
Speaker 1: deer zone and then uh man.
Speaker 2: Just.
Speaker 1: Going through cases of shells on the shotgun side of
Speaker 1: things over the summer, just shooting more in general center
Speaker 1: fire as well. But that's just got to be a
Speaker 1: part of the program. And you know, schedules get so
Speaker 1: jacked up it's hard to prioritize this stuff, but man,
Speaker 1: does it pay dividends. So and then getting back on
Speaker 1: just like a really consistent dog training schedule. These dogs
Speaker 1: benefit so much from that consistency. And that's a hard
Speaker 1: thing to pull off with the type of travel that
Speaker 1: we do too.
Speaker 3: But I.
Speaker 1: Can still do better.
Speaker 3: What is going well in your life?
Speaker 4: I wear.
Speaker 2: It's gonna turn this thing around.
Speaker 5: The dog training.
Speaker 1: I wear the same clothing like three days a week.
Speaker 1: I can make that four days a week and get
Speaker 1: more dog training, you know, sacrifices. I'm getting to be
Speaker 1: that way with age easy, Like, don't wash pants now
Speaker 1: for weeks on end.
Speaker 2: I'm like this, I supposed to wash jeans very often.
Speaker 4: I don't know when the last time that shirt was washed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I beat it up, throw on some pitstick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I swapped out the interior shirt here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that I do more often.
Speaker 2: Random, What do you have to add?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I just I need to stop lying
Speaker 3: around me.
Speaker 5: With that starts with myself. Actually, in all honesty, I
Speaker 5: need to I need to shoot my rifle lot more.
Speaker 5: I used to be in the habit of shooting, you know,
Speaker 5: a couple of thousand rounds and the center fire in
Speaker 5: a year, And this past year was probably the worst
Speaker 5: year for shooting that I've had, just in terms of volume.
Speaker 5: And you know, there's nothing like just good old practice
Speaker 5: to make you feel like you're ready when the fall
Speaker 5: rolls around twenty five.
Speaker 4: Did the lack of practice affect your hunt? Did you
Speaker 4: have a miss this year?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 3: Yes, but I don't know that practice would have.
Speaker 5: It was a very bad situation just to rush. But yeah,
Speaker 5: I just like I got into I was like getting
Speaker 5: all my stuff ready and I you know, putting my
Speaker 5: rifle in the truck, and I'm like, man, I I
Speaker 5: should shoot more. I used to shoot a lot, like
Speaker 5: literally burning out barrels and rebarreling rifles.
Speaker 3: But you know, work just gets.
Speaker 5: In the way. Family, all sorts, commitments. Yeah, the dogs,
Speaker 5: they're just always trying to get my attention and they
Speaker 5: don't like shooting rifles.
Speaker 3: So it's tough.
Speaker 5: But I'm gonna be more selfish this year, I guess.
Speaker 3: Is what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Can you shoot at your house now?
Speaker 3: Oh? Yes?
Speaker 2: Oh nice shoots on his property, but not at his house.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: It's gonna get awfully drafted if you shoot too often.
Speaker 2: Cute, all right, we're gonna tackle some listener questions here.
Speaker 2: We got about ten of these. First one is from James.
Speaker 2: I'm in my forties, I live in Northeast, Ohio and
Speaker 2: welcome by. I'm having a dad who hunted. I never
Speaker 2: took an interest until recently. What would be your advice
Speaker 2: for the first thing someone should do to take their
Speaker 2: first step towards hunting white tail deer. I've shot guns
Speaker 2: for many years as a hobby and recently took my
Speaker 2: first archery lesson. I'm open to gun hunting or bow hunting.
Speaker 2: To answer this question. First, here is Mark Kenyon.
Speaker 4: Why Mark getting an all?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 9: This is a great question and one that we hear
Speaker 9: from folks frequently, people that are intrigued by white tailed
Speaker 9: deer hunting but just don't know where to start. And
Speaker 9: my number one piece of advice is to seek out
Speaker 9: a mentor. There's so much to learn to get started
Speaker 9: as a deer hunter. There are so many different things
Speaker 9: about deer behavior, deer habitat, hunting strategy. You can get
Speaker 9: some of that from podcasts and videos of which we
Speaker 9: have plenty of metator you can read about these things
Speaker 9: and magazines and web articles. But the single best way
Speaker 9: you can learn is to actually find a real life
Speaker 9: person who can answer your questions, who can maybe take
Speaker 9: you out there in the field with them and show
Speaker 9: you some of these things firsthand. And there is a
Speaker 9: terrific program to help you find a mentor, and that
Speaker 9: is called the Field to Fork program is put on
Speaker 9: by the National Deer Association.
Speaker 3: You can sign up.
Speaker 9: To be connected with mentors like this through their program
Speaker 9: and to possibly go through this incredible educational experience. If
Speaker 9: you go to your association dot com slash field to
Speaker 9: Fork that's f I E L D dash t O
Speaker 9: dash fork. Go to that website, do the new hunter survey,
Speaker 9: see who they connect you with. Be a part of
Speaker 9: that program if you can. There's also a Deer Hunting
Speaker 9: one oh one online course you can participate in through
Speaker 9: that program that will definitely give you some of those
Speaker 9: building blocks to get started.
Speaker 3: Good luck.
Speaker 2: That thorough answer is why Mark Kenyon got to go first, Yanni.
Speaker 2: But what would you like to add?
Speaker 4: It's pretty solid. It's pretty solid. Now that I heard it,
Speaker 4: I might have to retract my earlier statement.
Speaker 5: The seriousness of tone in that in that short clip,
Speaker 5: I think, really is it odds with the mood in
Speaker 5: this room right now. So I'm just feeling a little conflicted.
Speaker 4: About Art doesn't want you to have fun when you're
Speaker 4: out there. White tail.
Speaker 1: Well, I tell this folk, I mean, Northeast Ohio is
Speaker 1: a great play. I mean, you have a short it's
Speaker 1: a short range weapon state, right, so it's a straight
Speaker 1: wall car tread if you want to shoot center fire,
Speaker 1: but you can. There's a shotgun, season, muzzleloader, season.
Speaker 3: Man cross pos.
Speaker 1: You want to own a shotgun, you got spring Turkey.
Speaker 1: That's big Turkey state. Lots of grouse and you can
Speaker 1: shoot a deer with with a shotgun there, so barrier
Speaker 1: to entry is pretty low. Lots of lots of cool,
Speaker 1: cool stuff in Northeast Ohio.
Speaker 2: I got two piece of advice for James. First one
Speaker 2: would be Randall Williams is from Ohio, so reach out
Speaker 2: to him. He'll tell you all his spots, give you
Speaker 2: all his connections.
Speaker 3: Opposite corners of the state.
Speaker 2: Though it doesn't matter salty Chile spaghetti.
Speaker 5: I think. I think if you, if you want to
Speaker 5: kill a deer in Ohio, find a place where you
Speaker 5: are allowed to hunt. And at least when I was
Speaker 5: growing up by a crossbow go buy a Barnett Rhino
Speaker 5: or whatever the entry level crossbow is these days, and
Speaker 5: that's how we figured things out.
Speaker 3: It's a lot of deer in Ohio.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I just saw a giant two hundred plus
Speaker 1: inched buck just got whacked on public land in Ohio.
Speaker 2: It's a good state. I'd like. I've never hunted Ohio.
Speaker 2: I've always wanted to hunt Ohio, but the public land
Speaker 2: in that part of the country hunts a lot bigger
Speaker 2: than other places because you have these rolling hills that
Speaker 2: are really timbered. So there's a lot of opportunities.
Speaker 1: Oh, explain, hunts big. That's a great hunting phrase.
Speaker 2: Hunting big would be like if you had two eighty
Speaker 2: acre parcels, one of them was seventy acres of corn
Speaker 2: with ten acres of timber and slew grass that are
Speaker 2: flat that hunts small, Whereas if you had eighty acres
Speaker 2: of rolling hills with creek bottoms, that would hunt big.
Speaker 2: You feel like you don't see everything when you're hunting
Speaker 2: that eighty acres versus if you're hunting the eighty acres
Speaker 2: that's all cornfield and a little bit of slew and timber.
Speaker 2: So Ohio I think a lot of the public land
Speaker 2: there hunts bigger than other parts of the Midwest. Here's
Speaker 2: the other thing I'd say to James. As someone who
Speaker 2: picked up a new hobby during the pandemic, which was
Speaker 2: rock counting, I learned so much of what I know now,
Speaker 2: or like gained a foundational level of knowledge just through
Speaker 2: watching YouTube videos a lot and a lot of YouTube videos,
Speaker 2: and deer hunting is no different.
Speaker 1: You're not going to be young because, like you couldn't
Speaker 1: identify a rock before, you can find the Internet held
Speaker 1: the tube as well.
Speaker 2: I mean, it sure got a lot easier. The barrier
Speaker 2: to entry is much.
Speaker 1: Always run away from you. You couldn't figure out how
Speaker 1: to where to find them.
Speaker 2: Uh huh, So James, uh, YouTube is going to help
Speaker 2: you out. It's probably not going to be the reason
Speaker 2: you kill a deer, but you'll you'll find a lot
Speaker 2: of relatable content there from meat Eater and others. Anybody
Speaker 2: else have any advice for James?
Speaker 6: I mean, finding a mentor is huge. But if you're
Speaker 6: struggling to find a mentor or you know, schedules don't align,
Speaker 6: just go out go hunting. You'll make mistakes, but you'll.
Speaker 3: Got to put yourself out there.
Speaker 5: That's right.
Speaker 4: Just find a spot so that there's deer everywhere. Find
Speaker 4: a spot you know you can hunt legally and learn it.
Speaker 4: Learn that landscape, learn that property, whatever it is. Maybe
Speaker 4: go knock on some doors. You can get yourself a
Speaker 4: spot where you don't have to have any competition. But yeah,
Speaker 4: I think learning the landscape really helps people be successful.
Speaker 1: And don't think that you need to dedicate whole days.
Speaker 1: Like whole days and multiple days in a row are fantastic,
Speaker 1: but those are hard to come by. So if you
Speaker 1: can find a spot that's close to you where you
Speaker 1: can kind of eliminate that like, oh, it's not worth
Speaker 1: going out type of mentality. Man, you can learn so
Speaker 1: much by those fifteen minute, twenty minute hour long sessions
Speaker 1: where you know it's like, sure you got to you know,
Speaker 1: it could be home washing clothes or something.
Speaker 5: But we know you don't need to do that very often.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we already covered that.
Speaker 2: All right, James is gonna kill a big old buck
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five. Here's the next question. This is
Speaker 2: from Joe. For those with kids, what are your go
Speaker 2: to places to getting quality youth hunting base layers and
Speaker 2: outerwear for cold weather hunts. We put our two fathers
Speaker 2: on this side of the table. They even dressed the
Speaker 2: same today.
Speaker 1: They just got back from an audition to be the
Speaker 1: next Brownie paper towel man.
Speaker 4: Some great dad jokes too.
Speaker 2: We go, Yanni, Corey, how do you outfit your kids
Speaker 2: when you're going out hunting or just doing anything.
Speaker 3: In cold letthers?
Speaker 4: You know, I'll be honest and that, you know, I
Speaker 4: get a pretty steep discount with the old first light.
Speaker 4: And even one of my girls were they make an
Speaker 4: extra extra small in women two x small I believe so.
Speaker 4: Oh and so even when they were super small, we
Speaker 4: could fit them into that, you know, and then we
Speaker 4: just did the hand me down thing as we grew
Speaker 4: up into them. So that's one way to do it.
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously you're getting the highest quality of youth,
Speaker 4: but that's you know, it can be expensive. I think
Speaker 4: you can do uh an ari I I mean these
Speaker 4: days synthetic bass layers. I mean, let's be honest, like
Speaker 4: it's if it's polyester's polyester, right, you can go get
Speaker 4: some knockoff stuff at Target. Probably if it's not cotton,
Speaker 4: you're probably gonna get pretty close to similar benefits from
Speaker 4: buying super expensive synthetic bass layers, and it's gonna get
Speaker 4: the job done for you. Then when your kids trash
Speaker 4: it or grow out of it, you're not out a
Speaker 4: bunch of money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Corey, I don't know if Marshall's been on too
Speaker 2: many haunts yet, but I assume he's done some skiing
Speaker 2: with you. How do you get him dressed for those?
Speaker 6: Yeah, you kind of took the answer right out of
Speaker 6: my mouth.
Speaker 1: That was a weird way of saying skiing. What wash?
Speaker 1: Do you not like skiing?
Speaker 2: What's your deal like skiing? I didn't think I said
Speaker 2: it weird skiing along with you? Yeah?
Speaker 6: No, ski anyway?
Speaker 2: I competent, I'm not. I don't feel like I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go out there and do a green and break my arm.
Speaker 2: So that's that's the sweet spot for me.
Speaker 6: I mean, my kid's only six. We've gone on one
Speaker 6: spring turkey hunting, multiple fall and winter squirrel hunts, so actually, yeah,
Speaker 6: wearing ski gear is what we've been doing. I mean,
Speaker 6: just staying warm is so crucial, and then having two,
Speaker 6: if not three, backup pairs of clothes because inevitably they're
Speaker 6: getting wet and uncomfortable, so having backup boots, socks, gloves,
Speaker 6: just to keep them out there as long as you
Speaker 6: can is what I do. And then for like bass layers, man,
Speaker 6: we just go to Costco and get the good, solid
Speaker 6: synthetic stuff for nine dollars.
Speaker 2: I've ran into Corey twice at Costco. If I was
Speaker 2: trying to pattern him, to assassinate him, I just go
Speaker 2: to Costco and then Winco because I know he goes
Speaker 2: to Winco as well.
Speaker 6: Meet me in the food court line at about eleven
Speaker 6: ond Yeah, and I assume with ski gear they make
Speaker 6: that for kids of like all sizes, just like little tykes,
Speaker 6: oh yeah, to teens yep, little guys. Yeah, so warm
Speaker 6: and comfy.
Speaker 2: Anything else to add from the fatherless people in the room, goodwill, Well,
Speaker 2: I have a father, Thank you very much. I'm sorry
Speaker 2: the childless the childless people. Of course, you have a father.
Speaker 5: What do you think cal if you're gonna dress up
Speaker 5: a little kid?
Speaker 4: Well, remember the question is where, where where do you
Speaker 4: find them? Well? Good?
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you randall. So a ton of my hunting
Speaker 1: stuff came from the Saint Vincent to Paul Church thrift store,
Speaker 1: and my grandma worked at and so you know, should
Speaker 1: cherry pick the fifty wool items for us? I mean yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's the stuff to grab, especially if
Speaker 1: folks are gonna if they're really hard on stuff, or
Speaker 1: if they're going to grow out of it, right, I
Speaker 1: mean go recycled.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I just say, find a well to do family with
Speaker 5: kids slightly older than yours and get their hand me
Speaker 5: downs and pattern kids are always getting made, you know,
Speaker 5: and it's just like you find an age class slightly
Speaker 5: about yours and position yourself to benefit from.
Speaker 4: That that work. We've gotten a lot of hand me
Speaker 4: downs from families.
Speaker 3: That for some.
Speaker 5: Advice from the childless side of the room here, or.
Speaker 2: Just don't have kids like me, callan Randall. Here's the
Speaker 2: next question. This is from Adam What qualities should I
Speaker 2: look for when picking boots to hunt elk? And Wyoming?
Speaker 2: What are your go to boots for a western elk hunt?
Speaker 2: To answer this question here is Jason Phelps.
Speaker 8: He's probably should I look for when picking boots to
Speaker 8: elk hunt Wyoming? And then what are my go to
Speaker 8: boots on a western elk hunt? So the qualities I'm
Speaker 8: looking for, it really depends on where you're hunting, what
Speaker 8: type of hunt you've gotten, and really how tough your
Speaker 8: feet are. Everybody's a little bit different and everybody's foot
Speaker 8: shapes a little bit different. So a boot that may
Speaker 8: work perfect for me, may not work for you, may
Speaker 8: not work for somebody else. So you need to try
Speaker 8: all these boots on number one, they need to fit.
Speaker 8: So that's one quality you need to have. You need
Speaker 8: to fit your heel pocket based on what insoles you have.
Speaker 8: You need to make sure you don't get hotspots on
Speaker 8: steep stuff down and uphill. But then as far as
Speaker 8: where are you hunting, If you're above tree line and
Speaker 8: the steep stuff, you know, hunting above the you know
Speaker 8: the goats and you know mountain goats and sheep, then
Speaker 8: you're gonna want a booth that's typically stiffer. You're gonna
Speaker 8: want a boot that's typically taller. Is you put more
Speaker 8: stress on your feet, you're gonna And then if I'm
Speaker 8: hunting the sage brush maybe flatter stuff in Wyoming, I'm
Speaker 8: gonna go for a boot that's more flexible, something that
Speaker 8: you know my foot won't fatigue is quickly. And even
Speaker 8: though I'm in a more flexible boot, versus if you
Speaker 8: take that flexible boot up high and the steep stuff
Speaker 8: at your foot may fatigue throughout the hunt. And then
Speaker 8: as far as what are my specific go to boots
Speaker 8: on a western el cut, I found that the Crispy
Speaker 8: bricks All line of boots works best. So they've got
Speaker 8: like a four flex rating uninsulated boot I wear on
Speaker 8: a lot of my September hunts. You know, went on
Speaker 8: a sheep hunt this year. I chose their Pro which
Speaker 8: is two inches taller and a stiffer you know sol
Speaker 8: on that boot, so I didn't flex as much for
Speaker 8: the steep stuff. So for me, Krispy Brickstall and all
Speaker 8: those boots work really well. But really, you got to
Speaker 8: go try boots on, make sure they fit your foot,
Speaker 8: make sure they're comfortable, and uh, that's my recommendation on
Speaker 8: western elk cutting boots.
Speaker 2: Johanni, you tackle this one after Jason. What do you
Speaker 2: have to add about finding the right boots for an
Speaker 2: elk hunt?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Jason covered it very well there. They
Speaker 4: I would add is oftentimes, like an archery season, when
Speaker 4: I know I'm gonna have to be sneaky because I
Speaker 4: want to get in close for an archery shot is
Speaker 4: that the boots need to perform both in hiking, you know,
Speaker 4: climb aircross mountains, then also in those last fifty yards
Speaker 4: when you're getting in closed and so I'll have to
Speaker 4: go with a boot that is kind of under not undersize,
Speaker 4: but it's not what you consider like a mount big
Speaker 4: mountain boot, right because I need it to be soft
Speaker 4: enough so that at the end when it's go time,
Speaker 4: I can maybe run a little bit very comfortably. I
Speaker 4: can be very sneaky and quiet. Usually the bigger the
Speaker 4: boots get, the burlier they get, the soul gets stiffer.
Speaker 4: The stiffer boot is, the noisier the boot is. There's
Speaker 4: nothing like sneaking through the woods and a pair of
Speaker 4: running shoes like the elk cannot hear you coming. So
Speaker 4: that's something to consider. But otherwise I think Jason covered
Speaker 4: it pretty good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's not even mountain like even like
Speaker 1: right now or yesterday. Now with our current warming trend
Speaker 1: to what we're going through, which is so annoying. Walking
Speaker 1: through fields that are frozen with a full shank stiff
Speaker 1: mountain boot is very unpleasant because there's just no flex
Speaker 1: in that boot. But you take that boot onto steep terrain,
Speaker 1: shale rock and it's the best it's your it's your
Speaker 1: best friend. So you do having a little bit of
Speaker 1: a quiver some options throughout your season is great. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I would say it'd be don't automatically assume that you
Speaker 1: need like a fully lined boot, like a gore Tex liner,
Speaker 1: because that's going to be a more expensive boot, or
Speaker 1: an insulated boot is gonna you know, it's going to
Speaker 1: perform well only in a specific range of temperatures. So
Speaker 1: if you're hunting in a warm day, then you're gonna
Speaker 1: sweat that boot out from the inside and it's it's
Speaker 1: not going to perform well for you. So I would
Speaker 1: really cause folks to really analyze their season before they
Speaker 1: go into an insulated boot.
Speaker 4: I sure do. And then.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the you know, there's a everybody's like what is
Speaker 1: the boot? And people have very different feet, just like
Speaker 1: your fingerprints. So there's a gajillion boot companies out there
Speaker 1: for a reason. They all have different lasts, which is
Speaker 1: like the footbed form of the boot, and and that's
Speaker 1: because people have different feet. So don't think that just
Speaker 1: because you need a hunting boot, you need to look
Speaker 1: at hunting boot companies. If you're not finding success in
Speaker 1: hunting boot companies, you know, go look at the Loas
Speaker 1: and the Scarpas and and that mountaineering world too. You know,
Speaker 1: these companies exist for a reason.
Speaker 6: So Randall Corey, anything to add footbeds, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 6: gets you a good boot, but do not skimp on
Speaker 6: solid footbeds.
Speaker 3: That you get.
Speaker 2: That's not very that's not a real expensive upgrade either.
Speaker 6: No. I mean you could spend fifty to one hundred
Speaker 6: bucks easily with some over the counter stuff, or just
Speaker 6: go to your local ARII or whatever, or you could
Speaker 6: get some custom ones that might run you a couple
Speaker 6: hundred dollars. But anything is going to be better than
Speaker 6: what you buy. It's pretty sad you spend five hundred
Speaker 6: bucks on a boot and the footbed is garbage. So
Speaker 6: make sure you get a better footbed.
Speaker 5: I would only add that, Uh, I think the more
Speaker 5: I I guess like over time, I've come to prefer
Speaker 5: a lighter and lighter boot, just because heavy boots wear
Speaker 5: you out and you like can't wait to get them off.
Speaker 5: So if you don't need something like super high and
Speaker 5: super stiff, I think like things in the lighter end
Speaker 5: of you know, there's I have like a spectrum of boots,
Speaker 5: but I often find myself if I can get away
Speaker 5: from it, going with like a lighter option, just because
Speaker 5: it's more comfortable and.
Speaker 3: You never want to take them off.
Speaker 2: The only thing I'd add to this is I've had
Speaker 2: really bad luck ordering hunting boots online. As far as
Speaker 2: sizing goes, it seems that more than casual footwear or
Speaker 2: tennis shoes or dress shoes, hunting shoes or bass slides, yeah,
Speaker 2: any of that, the sizing is much more variable. And
Speaker 2: so if you can find a boot that you can
Speaker 2: go try on in person, it'll make your life easier
Speaker 2: than having to order something online and be prepared to
Speaker 2: then make a couple returns.
Speaker 4: You ha to piggyback on Randall's point there, and Jason
Speaker 4: even mentioned it, like if you're hunting elk above the
Speaker 4: mountain goats, that happens to like zero point five percent
Speaker 4: of the elk hunters in our country annually. It's just
Speaker 4: not a thing usually where you're hunting above the mountain goats,
Speaker 4: so you don't need boots that are made for that
Speaker 4: alpine shale, super rocky landscape. Because you're just not there
Speaker 4: that much. The elk are usually in the timber.
Speaker 2: Moving on, next question is from Christa. My family eats
Speaker 2: a lot of ground venison, with burgers, tacos, and chili
Speaker 2: firmly in our rotation. What are some other weaknight meals
Speaker 2: with ground meat that are easy, tasty and outside of
Speaker 2: the norm cal. What could you recommend to Christa?
Speaker 4: Larb?
Speaker 1: Hmmm, that's good stuff.
Speaker 2: What larb is really outside of the norm carry?
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's just finely chopped or ground meat.
Speaker 4: And what is it title?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know, make like let us wrap tacos,
Speaker 1: make a little sauce that's totally a winter and it's
Speaker 1: you know, it's a little sweet ginger garlicky, little red
Speaker 1: chili in there.
Speaker 4: That's to do some larb tomorrow ground pulled out. I
Speaker 4: needed an idea. There we go.
Speaker 2: Okay, someone else makes some recommendations for Christa and Yanni.
Speaker 5: We we have a delightful uh North African meatball recipe.
Speaker 3: From the New York Times. Oh and we just had
Speaker 3: it last night.
Speaker 5: Little couscous but they're like these little meatballs and kind
Speaker 5: of a it's almost like a I don't know, it's
Speaker 5: almost like a you've had those, haven't you.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 2: I put a lot of trust into the New York
Speaker 2: Times recipes. I haven't been left solid.
Speaker 5: The New York Times recipes will not they will not
Speaker 5: lead you astray. But yeah, this this North African meatball thing.
Speaker 2: Uh. And to be clear, if you're new to cooking
Speaker 2: wild game, if you find a recipe from The New
Speaker 2: York Times, you can just you know, use venison place
Speaker 2: of ground beef. Yeah, and and basically anything.
Speaker 5: We'll make like whole sheet like cookie sheets of these
Speaker 5: meatballs and then make the sauce and then Phillip gallon
Speaker 5: baggies with meatballs and sauce and freeze them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and so royal the meatballs to cook them.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, but yeah, it's like last night we had
Speaker 5: people over for dinner, and we didn't tell them that
Speaker 5: would pull these out of the freezer and just simply
Speaker 5: reheated them, But we did and they loved it.
Speaker 2: In a similar not, we make a lot of pot
Speaker 2: stickers at my house. A few times a year. We'll
Speaker 2: set aside a Saturday, we'll just get the Wanton wrappers
Speaker 2: that we get from Elbertsons. But I think they sell
Speaker 2: the same exact ones at Walmart and high V whatever
Speaker 2: your grocery store is, and that makes ground venicson go
Speaker 2: a really long ways. We'll do a one to one
Speaker 2: ratio of ground meat and vegetables slash mushrooms. And I
Speaker 2: think this last time we made three hundred potstickers in
Speaker 2: one going. And then that's a super easy freezer meal
Speaker 2: to get out. You freeze them in whatever portion makes
Speaker 2: sense for your family size. You get those out and
Speaker 2: you can be serving them within fifteen fifteen minutes. And
Speaker 2: they're just really easy to make, both like prepping them
Speaker 2: for the freezer and coming out of the freezer. So
Speaker 2: potstickers highly recommend YEP, and you can make them to
Speaker 2: your liking. There's like a certain vegetable or flavor profile
Speaker 2: that you really like or really dislike. Your potstickers can
Speaker 2: be unique to your taste.
Speaker 1: Basically every culture has a pot sticker too, so like
Speaker 1: if you want to put like marinara sauce and mozzarella
Speaker 1: in there, like, shoot, it's not that crazy.
Speaker 2: Wantan rappers are a great vessel for just like any
Speaker 2: meats and veggie.
Speaker 1: We filmed a standin sticker with chef Linda here in town.
Speaker 2: Is that hummingbird?
Speaker 1: Yeah, kitchen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been looking to go to some of her meals.
Speaker 4: You should do it.
Speaker 1: It's super super cool and Linda's who she's, She's super fun.
Speaker 1: But that should be on the media YouTube channel. And
Speaker 1: we do do we do do Wanton's January fourteenth.
Speaker 6: That should be on the.
Speaker 4: Oh son of a Gun.
Speaker 2: There this guy here, Yanni Cory unique ground venison meals
Speaker 2: besides burgers, tacos, and chili.
Speaker 6: Man, it's not unique, but y'all ever had hamburger helper?
Speaker 4: I do it without the box grew.
Speaker 6: I made help meat, little can of like cream, a mushroom,
Speaker 6: and then your favorite vegetable, can of corn, can of
Speaker 6: green beans, peas, whatever, and then some noodles on top
Speaker 6: of that.
Speaker 4: You can call it a goulash.
Speaker 6: Turns out yep, one pot meal.
Speaker 5: Depending on how runny it turns out, you can lunch correct.
Speaker 4: You know. We do a lot of meatballs too, usually
Speaker 4: Italian flavor profile. But we do the same thing that
Speaker 4: Randall does, is and we make hundreds and then freeze
Speaker 4: them and usually around twenty it's is what you can
Speaker 4: get into a leader uh vacuum seal bag. But those
Speaker 4: are great, and so do you put sauce in there? No? No, no,
Speaker 4: no no.
Speaker 5: Did did we cover meat loaf?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean I assume part of this is part of this.
Speaker 5: If I mean, if I just if it wasn't explicitly
Speaker 5: mentioned in there, I think we should just point out
Speaker 5: meat loaf should be celebrated.
Speaker 4: Stuff to move and different styles of burger. You know,
Speaker 4: oftentimes my kids like we don't like burgers anymore. I'll
Speaker 4: be like, what about smash burgers? Oh yeah, you know,
Speaker 4: so like okay, I'm gonna make them real thin.
Speaker 2: On the topic of meat loaf, though, I think when
Speaker 2: I think a meat loaf, there's like the meat loaf
Speaker 2: my mom made, which I don't like, and then there's
Speaker 2: like like an elevated version of meat loaf recipes you
Speaker 2: can find online and.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is just using more bacon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, you know, using some cheese and sauteed
Speaker 2: spinach and just some other herbs and spices and and
Speaker 2: that's like that's a unique weaknight meal.
Speaker 3: Anybody could make it home great liftovers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean there's there's no end like pocket food, right, Like,
Speaker 1: so like we're talking, so Wanton's pirogis, pasties empenadas.
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, in the media dot com post new recipes
Speaker 2: every week. I bet the most common protein in those
Speaker 2: recipes is probably ground meat. So the mediator dot com
Speaker 2: backslash recipes you'll get all kinds of good recommendations there.
Speaker 2: Next question, this is from Coal. I was wondering what
Speaker 2: you think the most doable DIY big game hunt would
Speaker 2: be out west. Some considerations would be tag attainment and
Speaker 2: public land access. I imagine you guys are gonna have
Speaker 2: the same answer, but I would say an analttle punt.
Speaker 2: It takes like the least amount of gear, least amount
Speaker 2: of time, the least amount of physical fitness. If you're
Speaker 2: coming from the Midwest or the east of the South
Speaker 2: and this is your first Western hunt. The tags are
Speaker 2: like the same price or cheaper than deer tags in
Speaker 2: a lot of these states. Public land access like these days.
Speaker 4: I mean it used to be a thing where you
Speaker 4: could get a bunch of prong horned tags, and now
Speaker 4: it's like there obtainable. I mean unless you have some
Speaker 4: private access.
Speaker 2: What I would say to Cole is this is a
Speaker 2: hunt you could plan for twenty twenty seven or twenty
Speaker 2: twenty eight, but you're probably not doing a good rifle
Speaker 2: analope hunt this coming fall.
Speaker 5: I'm going to go with another big game option that
Speaker 5: starts with the letter A, and that is antlerless.
Speaker 4: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 5: Find a cow tag, find a dough tag, often cheaper.
Speaker 5: You're gonna have the same experience you're gonna take home there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're gonna take home meat.
Speaker 5: You're not going to feel like things are as competitive
Speaker 5: as if you're gunning for a big Bucker Bowl. So yeah,
Speaker 5: if you just want to go make some memories and
Speaker 5: check out a new part of the country, I'd look
Speaker 5: into those options. And oftentimes those tags are cheaper as well,
Speaker 5: in addition to being more available.
Speaker 2: And anelope and analysts have a lot higher success rate
Speaker 2: for hunters out there. What do you guys have got
Speaker 2: to add to.
Speaker 4: This black bear?
Speaker 2: Oh over the counter at a different time of year.
Speaker 4: Yep, just made a face.
Speaker 6: Yes, some of us don't know how to kill him,
Speaker 6: or at least have a curse and are somehow allowed
Speaker 6: to kill him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's more of a learning curve to it, though,
Speaker 5: I would say coming out for the first time.
Speaker 6: A lot of states have two seasons for him. Some
Speaker 6: regions have overabundant numbers of black bears, So save a
Speaker 6: couple deer, go.
Speaker 4: Shoot a black bear. Be honest, Yeah, I was gonna
Speaker 4: go on what Randall said. I was going to just say,
Speaker 4: go get a dough tag. You know, very doable, very attainable.
Speaker 4: You can just drive around looking for a dough but
Speaker 4: you can.
Speaker 1: You can hunt your butt off too if you want
Speaker 1: to do it. Yeah, so there's a bunch of ways
Speaker 1: to go back country.
Speaker 2: Call any other advice for Coal on how to plan
Speaker 2: his first doable di y big game hunt out West.
Speaker 1: Boy, the biggest limitation people put on themselves is time.
Speaker 1: Give yourself time, and that's the hardest thing to acquire
Speaker 1: in my opinion. But boy, give yourself like a full
Speaker 1: week no matter what you do. Or more like, if
Speaker 1: you want to do your first big game hunt and
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm gonna take a long weekend, you're just
Speaker 1: setting yourself up for not having a great experience. You
Speaker 1: you can have a surprisingly good experience, but it's just
Speaker 1: gonna be you're gonna have that clock ticking in the
Speaker 1: back of your brain the whole time.
Speaker 2: It seems like when you're short on time, you end
Speaker 2: up thinking about like work or family stuff that's going on.
Speaker 2: If you've got a full week, you'll have some extra
Speaker 2: time built in on the beginning and end of that yep.
Speaker 5: And if the trip starts out poorly, you can just
Speaker 5: totally reset and you still have another three day hunt
Speaker 5: on the back half.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 2: Next question from Kevin, This is a short one. What's
Speaker 2: your go to hunting and fishing snack? To answer this one,
Speaker 2: here is Brent Reeves.
Speaker 5: My go to hunting snack.
Speaker 2: I usually keep it in my side beside, and I keep.
Speaker 10: It in an army can like this tragic and here
Speaker 10: it is potted meat Beannie Waeney's some cheese crackers.
Speaker 11: Now, if you won't get bold and make a meal
Speaker 11: out of it, this is what I do. Also like vienies,
Speaker 11: but I don't eat the when it's cold, because get
Speaker 11: a little sav on them when that jail kind of
Speaker 11: sticks to the weens.
Speaker 10: But it's right here, potted meat, the cheese crackers. My
Speaker 10: brother Stem and I ate this. Just the other day
Speaker 10: we was running the nuts on the river.
Speaker 11: We needed a little snack with all them finishes sapping
Speaker 11: all the wind out there.
Speaker 10: That's while we was out there pulling in here. It
Speaker 10: is right here, these tras potted meat.
Speaker 2: It's good. It's good, I believe, what a treat. You
Speaker 2: should go watch this on YouTube because you'd get to
Speaker 2: see Brent preparing his little lunch there. And this is
Speaker 2: how organic that was for brand I sent an email
Speaker 2: last night at like nine pm asking everyone to make
Speaker 2: these videos by noon. So that was just what Brent
Speaker 2: had on hand. This is that's truly like his favorite
Speaker 2: hunting fish and snack. He didn't go out and then,
Speaker 2: you know, produce this content.
Speaker 5: We just had to go to the old army can.
Speaker 2: That's right, Randa favorite hunting and fishing.
Speaker 4: First, I want to know if anybody in this room
Speaker 4: has had that meat that he just pulled out, well,
Speaker 4: potted meat, Like there's a wide variety of can meats, okay,
Speaker 4: because that almost looked like.
Speaker 2: A pat ta, looked like cat food.
Speaker 4: I don't know what that was. I mean, I enjoyed
Speaker 4: pat a right, but I don't really know what that
Speaker 4: what he know.
Speaker 2: I think the other thing he was referencing with Vienna sausages, yeah, which.
Speaker 4: I thought that was the go to in that part
Speaker 4: of the country was uh they say, enis.
Speaker 2: Randall go to hunting and fish and snack.
Speaker 5: Man. Uh. This past year, I just ate a lot
Speaker 5: of peanut butter and jellies. Like a lot of times.
Speaker 5: A lot of times I I like, get a gallon
Speaker 5: zip lock bag and fill it up. Oh, I'll have
Speaker 5: some nuts, I'll have some jerky, I'll have some like
Speaker 5: a power bar. I'll have this and that, and then
Speaker 5: I like, just don't eat it. And I just this
Speaker 5: year is like, I'm gonna make four peanut butter and
Speaker 5: jellies and at any point in the day if I
Speaker 5: get hungry, I have one and it's perfectly satiating, and
Speaker 5: I will I'll consume all the calories I need and
Speaker 5: I won't have to think about what I'm picking out
Speaker 5: of the bag and whether or not I'll want to
Speaker 5: eat it, because I always want.
Speaker 3: To eat peanut butter and jelly.
Speaker 2: How about you, cal.
Speaker 1: Obviously like it's it's all dependent on situation. But Randall
Speaker 1: got to experienced a little bit of hunting camp with
Speaker 1: some of the crew that I grew up horse packing
Speaker 1: with this year, and no matter what's happening, there's at
Speaker 1: some point the little smokies that we scaled in a
Speaker 1: pan and eat little little smokey's out of a pan
Speaker 1: and that was always like an awesome deal.
Speaker 4: Is that just a miniature hot dog?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. You know they're cocktail weenies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like for making pigs in a blanket.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then smoked oysters. He I mean, there were
Speaker 1: just like a thing when I was grown up, and
Speaker 1: I still love them and occasionally I'll just have that
Speaker 1: for dinner by myself here and you know, in a home,
Speaker 1: in an actual.
Speaker 4: A smoked oyster. But man, in the woods, it's just
Speaker 4: such a mess maker. And then you got that greasy
Speaker 4: can left over. You almost need a vessel to get
Speaker 4: the cant and you're backpacking out of the woods.
Speaker 1: I don't do it backpacking anymore because of that. And
Speaker 1: it's just like, you know, you end up like packing
Speaker 1: dirt in there to try to like soak it up,
Speaker 1: and then you're like, well then I dumped the dirt
Speaker 1: out and it's all a mask. You're you're correct, But yeah,
Speaker 1: so I do. Pro bars is like a staple and
Speaker 1: it's not something that like I really enjoy at all.
Speaker 1: And the refrigerator bars, the what are those ones? The
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be refrigerated, Yeah, there's a few of
Speaker 1: them out there.
Speaker 4: There's a Bozeman local company, is that the one you're
Speaker 4: thinking of? They make that product. It's like called Jack
Speaker 4: and Jane.
Speaker 5: Or maybe I should know because I picked up those
Speaker 5: packages from your front door and put them in your refrigerator.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's like almond butter or whatever, like in
Speaker 1: a bar, peanut butter in a bar, and those are
Speaker 1: a big deal. And then yeah, at this point, I
Speaker 1: just don't even mess around with like trail mixes and
Speaker 1: stuff like that.
Speaker 4: I'll actually gone back towards trail mix a little bit more,
Speaker 4: but custom making it. Yeah, like going to Costco, I
Speaker 4: get the big bag of cashew's, the big bag of cranberries,
Speaker 4: some mango slices and that way. When I go in there,
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, this is all stuff that I like
Speaker 4: that I want to consume because there's nothing worse than
Speaker 4: looking at that trail mixing like, yeah, you're like white chocolate. Yeah,
Speaker 4: a few.
Speaker 2: My favorite hunting fish and snack always has been, I
Speaker 2: think always will be our apples because it's good at
Speaker 2: any temperature, whether it's eighty degrees or twenty degrees, and
Speaker 2: it also keeps me regular when you're like, you know,
Speaker 2: on a five day hunt or something like that. That's
Speaker 2: an awful feeling when you just can't go to the bathroom.
Speaker 2: And if you're eating apples, that's never the case. It's
Speaker 2: a natural diuretic at least for me, so apples or
Speaker 2: go to And then also this year, this is the
Speaker 2: first time I had honey stinger stuff and we had
Speaker 2: to have a bad product from honey stick. Their waffles
Speaker 2: they're they're like energy gels. Some of them have caffeine
Speaker 2: in them. I'm a really big fan of those, so
Speaker 2: apples honeystinger stuff.
Speaker 4: I sing to add to some apples too, as you
Speaker 4: can get those Justin's peanut butter packets or hazelnut butter
Speaker 4: packets if you need just a little more protein or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good like at five am, and it's good
Speaker 2: at five pm in Apple and they keep that's right,
Speaker 2: like I said, eighty degrees or twenty degrees.
Speaker 5: All this stuff applies to peanut butter and jelly's too.
Speaker 1: Well, like the dark chocolate Justin's peanut butter cups. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I'll like.
Speaker 4: It's an expensive item, but they are good. It is.
Speaker 4: But like when I'm.
Speaker 1: At night, I'm heating up my meal or whatever. I
Speaker 1: always boil enough water for my meal, and like a
Speaker 1: cup of tea, which could just be you know, like
Speaker 1: one of those salt packet meals or liquid iv or
Speaker 1: something thrown in water, but it's you know, hot flavored drink.
Speaker 1: And then we'll have my like dark chocolate peanut butter
Speaker 1: cup and that's like my whole whole backpacking dinner right there.
Speaker 2: Of course, is there a universal snack you could bring
Speaker 2: guiding that anybody would eat and enjoy?
Speaker 5: Jerky?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 6: And it also every bite reminds you while you're out
Speaker 6: there there's a home major and I don't know the
Speaker 6: store bought stuff's okay, Man, it's expensive these days though,
Speaker 6: so some homemade venison jerky.
Speaker 1: It's all these damn diet trends getting into the jerky.
Speaker 4: World, the whole carnivor. Yes, I've been souping up the
Speaker 4: PBNJ a little bit the last few years. And uh,
Speaker 4: Jess Johnson, you know, from Artemis down there in Wyom,
Speaker 4: and she turned me onto it and just do it
Speaker 4: on a tortilla instead. Yeah, maybe you need a little
Speaker 4: less bread in your life. Maybe not. Maybe just a
Speaker 4: different flavor. But then I also have been putting in
Speaker 4: like a slice of two a bacon and then peanut
Speaker 4: butter jelly bacon.
Speaker 2: It's real canvas that'll set you free.
Speaker 4: Brother.
Speaker 2: I'll buy jack Links every now and then, just hoping
Speaker 2: that there's gonna be like a little note and sign
Speaker 2: saying I can come hunt their property like I want
Speaker 2: an award. They own like twenty thousand acres of badass
Speaker 2: ground in western South Dakota where they raise the cattle
Speaker 2: that turned into the beef that you eat. So someday,
Speaker 2: some day I'm gonna open up that package and it's
Speaker 2: gonna say, congratulations, you want a mule deer hunt.
Speaker 4: I think you're very sneakily right now, just like throwing.
Speaker 2: What I'm doing.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, it's not.
Speaker 5: Even sneaky's into the world.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not even sneaky. And their names are the Lynx.
Speaker 2: Oh the way you're kidding, No, it's l I n K.
Speaker 2: The Lynx make their own sausage too.
Speaker 3: That's amazing, all right.
Speaker 2: Their next question is from side. My family has always
Speaker 2: owned dogs, but now we're ready to own the dog.
Speaker 2: The was all capitalized a dog that hunts and is
Speaker 2: a great with the family, the kind of dog you
Speaker 2: remember long after they're gone. Does the crew have any
Speaker 2: recommendations for how to pick the right breeder or pup
Speaker 2: And to answer this question here is Tony Peterson.
Speaker 12: We should always be looking for the dog that's like
Speaker 12: the best dog ever I think anyway. But you know
Speaker 12: a lot of people focus on the off switch, which
Speaker 12: is sort of a minor thing, even though it doesn't
Speaker 12: seem like it. You just train that in like any
Speaker 12: you can train any dog to be a good dog
Speaker 12: in your house. You can't train a dog to have
Speaker 12: extra drive out in the field. So for me, that's
Speaker 12: my focus when I'm picking a pup or I have
Speaker 12: somebody looking for, you know, a litter for me, and
Speaker 12: so I forget about the individual dog and look at
Speaker 12: the blood like you want to check out the pedigrees.
Speaker 12: And for me to get a lot of drive, I
Speaker 12: like to have some hunt test and some field trial
Speaker 12: you know, competitors, champions in the mix somewhere in there.
Speaker 12: At the very least, you know you're going to get
Speaker 12: a dog that really likes to work, is intelligent, it's
Speaker 12: going to be an athlete, and there's gonna be a
Speaker 12: lot of good health checks that come along with that,
Speaker 12: and that's the way you're going to get the drive
Speaker 12: that you're gonna have to work with. And then you're
Speaker 12: gonna to take that pup home and just train that
Speaker 12: off switch.
Speaker 2: Cal how did you select Snort?
Speaker 4: What the hell?
Speaker 9: Well?
Speaker 1: I liked a lot of what Tony just said, because yeah,
Speaker 1: the drive is is what you need, and it's hard
Speaker 1: to like encourage more drive if that's what you're looking for.
Speaker 1: It's it's way better to try to train for the
Speaker 1: off switch so folks can't see it.
Speaker 4: But smart here here, come on.
Speaker 1: Snort's been here the whole time, and this dog's got
Speaker 1: an incredible amount of drive and runs bad out of
Speaker 1: hell and and has all the things, sometimes too much
Speaker 1: of them in the field. But she's just been crashed
Speaker 1: here on the floor for I mean hours, and she's four,
Speaker 1: which you know is plenty old for some folks. But
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people listening probably have that dog.
Speaker 1: You're like, you know, that dog's eight and everybody still
Speaker 1: thinks it's a puppy. And I think hunting is is
Speaker 1: a great way to take dogs that have a ton
Speaker 1: of drive. And these dogs understand they're like, Oh, here's
Speaker 1: where all my energy and neuroticism go into this thing
Speaker 1: that like really clicks with with that little doggy soul.
Speaker 1: And I think there's a lot of knucklehead Labrador retrievers
Speaker 1: out there.
Speaker 4: They are that way because they.
Speaker 1: Don't they don't get a hunt. I picked Snort exactly
Speaker 1: like Tony said, So I said, hey, I want a
Speaker 1: dog that is a little hard headed and has some independence.
Speaker 1: And when I went and picked her up, I still
Speaker 1: have a video of it. She had a pink collar.
Speaker 1: A lot of these breeders, they're like, yeah, they tie
Speaker 1: ribbons around them or color code them somehow, some way,
Speaker 1: And she was the only puppy that was not like
Speaker 1: up at the gate paying attention to what's going on.
Speaker 1: But when I walked in, all the puppies got up
Speaker 1: on the gate and they were like, oh, something interesting's happening.
Speaker 1: And then the pink collar girl turned around and all
Speaker 1: the puppies just spread out of the way, and Snort
Speaker 1: came up to the fence and was like hmm. And
Speaker 1: at that point I was like, oh, man, maybe I
Speaker 1: shouldn't have done this.
Speaker 2: The spiritual at that point.
Speaker 4: Well, I was.
Speaker 1: I interpreted it more as like, oh, that's the alpha
Speaker 1: female in this thing, and she's like all the puppy
Speaker 1: litter was like, get out.
Speaker 4: Of her way.
Speaker 1: She's picking you're picking her. I don't think she was
Speaker 1: picking me. I think she's just like sizing things up.
Speaker 1: So but the plane ride home and everything, she was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I am I need I need a friend here because
Speaker 1: this is scary scary stuff and uh and that's where
Speaker 1: the bond was was formed initially. So but yeah, I
Speaker 1: like I like that. I like higher drive, more competitiveness,
Speaker 1: stuff like that. You know, you can train out some
Speaker 1: bad behaviors, it's just hard to build them in.
Speaker 4: I feel bad.
Speaker 2: You can hear Tony talk about more of those things
Speaker 2: on Foundations right now, on which.
Speaker 1: I think is a very unique dog podcast in the
Speaker 1: world of dog podcasts out there. I think this is
Speaker 1: a unique take. So Tony's doing an awesome job.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel bad for all of the dogs that
Speaker 4: this family has had prior to this moment because they're
Speaker 4: not remembered. They're just like cast off, forgotten, and you know,
Speaker 4: I don't even know if they got a proper burial.
Speaker 1: But deep down, when those they said, time is quit
Speaker 1: messing around.
Speaker 5: When those dogs look in the mirror, they know what
Speaker 5: they're looking at. Do you think they're really a dog?
Speaker 2: Not the dog?
Speaker 4: Not the dog?
Speaker 2: Yeah? How many trips did you make to the pound
Speaker 2: before you found mingus?
Speaker 4: I only made one.
Speaker 2: Could you have an inside source there?
Speaker 4: No? No, because at the time what had happened is
Speaker 4: I had been researching dogs way too long, like over
Speaker 4: a year. Maybeing coming on too, and it got to
Speaker 4: the point where my family said, f this. We're just
Speaker 4: ready for anything with fur and at least a couple
Speaker 4: of legs and we'll be good, you know, we just
Speaker 4: need something to rub on. And so I just got
Speaker 4: a phone call that said, hey, we're heading down to
Speaker 4: the Stafford Shelter and Livingston. They've got a bunch of
Speaker 4: blue tick coon hounds. You know, if you want any
Speaker 4: input on this, you better come down too. So on
Speaker 4: the way there, I'm like, call my buddy Jake, who
Speaker 4: runs hounds. I'm like, hey, what do you know about
Speaker 4: blue tick coon hounds? You know, because looks like we
Speaker 4: got a chance. So the way we picked out a
Speaker 4: dog is that basically by the time I got there,
Speaker 4: I got there just in time to see the guy
Speaker 4: from the shelter, basically shoving my kids into the cage
Speaker 4: with the puppies and locking the lash behind him, and
Speaker 4: then they just had a ball in there. And yeah,
Speaker 4: they picked out the mild mannered one.
Speaker 2: Oh so there you had other options there besides Mingus.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there were two others that were definitely at that
Speaker 4: moment in time. It's hard to tell because Mingus looked
Speaker 4: emaciated and I think that he probably, if I had
Speaker 4: to guess, the other two males were just stronger, tougher
Speaker 4: and when there was any food around, Mingus was not
Speaker 4: getting a bite, right because the other two were pushing
Speaker 4: him out of the way. Maybe he was literally a
Speaker 4: bag of bones. And so yes, we could have picked
Speaker 4: what was seemed to be more you know, aggressive, more energetic,
Speaker 4: definitely healthier looking in the moment dogs, but we went
Speaker 4: with the mellow one. Mingus was.
Speaker 1: Mingus is huge, right, I mean he's not as he's
Speaker 1: probably not as big as.
Speaker 2: He let him.
Speaker 4: He will easily hit one hundred pounds, big boy.
Speaker 1: And I brought Snort home, you know, at like seven
Speaker 1: and a half weeks, little tiny puppy, and Mingus is
Speaker 1: the first dog. Because we were watching Mingus at the time.
Speaker 1: So I got brought a snort home and put her
Speaker 1: down in her kennel and just opened the door and
Speaker 1: was like, don't drag her out of there, let her
Speaker 1: have her space. And then eventually she crept out and
Speaker 1: crawled into bed with Mingus. I mean he wanted to.
Speaker 4: I mean they're good to cute Randal.
Speaker 1: Mingus is giant dog, like real hunting dog, like gentle
Speaker 1: old soul man, good good dog.
Speaker 2: Randall. You think you own as many dogs as everyone
Speaker 2: else in here combined? Yes, how did you pick those?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 5: Our most recent dog was a rescue from a breeding operation,
Speaker 5: so we got her when she was six and a
Speaker 5: half and just a delightful animal, terrified of everything, people mostly,
Speaker 5: But we didn't really have choices there. We saw this
Speaker 5: Facebook post that they were trying to find a new
Speaker 5: home for this dog, and so that's how we got
Speaker 5: Lil Dolly. We this was like the day or like
Speaker 5: the we're going to go to New Orleans for a wedding.
Speaker 5: The wedding got canceled because of COVID, so we're like, well,
Speaker 5: we're going to be home for a little while. It
Speaker 5: seems it seems like a good time to get a puppy,
Speaker 5: So we called around and tried to find a litter
Speaker 5: that was available within a five hour drive, and sure enough,
Speaker 5: we drove down to Saint Anthony, Idaho, and there were
Speaker 5: two puppies left in this litter and the one was
Speaker 5: like this, and then the other one was like this
Speaker 5: on top of it. And I can't remember if dollar. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I can't remember if Dolly was on the top or
Speaker 5: the bottom. But we were like, how bad. I mean,
Speaker 5: they're both doing cute things. Plus there aren't any other options,
Speaker 5: so we grabbed Dolly and drove home and then the
Speaker 5: lockdown order went into effect. Rosie. I don't know what
Speaker 5: we did to get so lucky to have Rosie, but yeah,
Speaker 5: none of our dog buying experiences. I probably if I
Speaker 5: just started from scratch and sketched out the playbook they
Speaker 5: it would in no way resemble how we got our dogs.
Speaker 5: But not applicable, Nope, nope. I mean asking how to
Speaker 5: buy a dog. Uh, that's a good hunting dog and
Speaker 5: that was going to make you proud in the field
Speaker 5: and it's going to be well behaved at home. Asking
Speaker 5: me that question is like, I don't know, asking someone
Speaker 5: who's never been in a serious relationship with their marriage
Speaker 5: advice is or something to that effect. I just I
Speaker 5: don't know. I have dogs, but they don't fit that profile,
Speaker 5: so it just exists. Yeah, yeah, like Dolly doesn't have
Speaker 5: an off switch. She just carries the tennis ball around
Speaker 5: and puts it in your lap.
Speaker 3: But we love her.
Speaker 6: Still, Corey, anything to add, Man, I don't really have
Speaker 6: a dog in this fight.
Speaker 2: Oh good one, All right, that's the next question is
Speaker 2: to our final question. This is from Nancy. What would
Speaker 2: y'all be doing if you didn't work at meat Eater?
Speaker 2: What's your dream job? And to answer this here is
Speaker 2: Clay Newcombe.
Speaker 4: I'm very interested to hear this, Spencer.
Speaker 13: You asked me what I would do if I didn't
Speaker 13: work for meat Eater and I was doing my dream job. Man,
Speaker 13: I'm really ambitious, and that would just shoot for the stars.
Speaker 3: I would like.
Speaker 13: To raise and train young mules and about every two
Speaker 13: years sell a crop of really high dollar finished mules.
Speaker 13: That would be part one of my entrepreneurial business because
Speaker 13: I've always valued independence over finances.
Speaker 5: So part one would be mules.
Speaker 13: Part two would be I would raise a few squirrel
Speaker 13: dogs every year. Now there's not a big there's not
Speaker 13: big money in squirrel dogs. Don't get the wrong idea,
Speaker 13: but you know, it'd be just enough to make it
Speaker 13: worth it. I'd probably have to supplement it with some
Speaker 13: manual labor. I've got a college degree. I mean, like,
Speaker 13: I could go work in the business sector or something
Speaker 13: maybe I don't know, and but that would just be ridiculous.
Speaker 13: I'm not gonna do that. So I would probably have
Speaker 13: to do stonework.
Speaker 5: That's kind of something that I do.
Speaker 13: I do masonry work. And lastly, I had commercial fish
Speaker 13: with Brent Reeds. Me and Brent Reeves would own the
Speaker 13: Southern fish market. That's my dream, dream entrepreneurial package right there.
Speaker 2: Be honest dream job raising mules and catching fish.
Speaker 10: Mmmmm.
Speaker 4: I think it'd be fun to learn how to how
Speaker 4: to train a mule, but not my dream job. You know.
Speaker 4: I have been thinking about that lately. I've been really
Speaker 4: getting into the habitat management thing over there in Wisconsin,
Speaker 4: and I could see it be.
Speaker 6: That.
Speaker 4: Sometimes I get jealous of those foresters and those people
Speaker 4: there doing that work, so I look at them and go, man,
Speaker 4: I think they might be spending more time outdoors than
Speaker 4: I am. You know, because even in the off season, right,
Speaker 4: they're just out in the woods working some way or another,
Speaker 4: you know. And uh, I don't know. I've been I've
Speaker 4: been digging, going into that rabbit hole and uh so
Speaker 4: I could see doing that.
Speaker 2: We had a trivia question before about the happiest profession
Speaker 2: in America. Uh, and it's forestry. People who work in
Speaker 2: forestry are the happiest, not just god like, not just
Speaker 2: happiest of folks. And like the outdoor industry or people
Speaker 2: who work outside, just the happiest in the entire country. Corey,
Speaker 2: how about.
Speaker 5: You a surf instructor in Costa Rica?
Speaker 2: Do you know how to surf?
Speaker 5: I can stand up on a surfboard.
Speaker 6: You can, Oh, yeah, okay, but I don't know if
Speaker 6: I'm technically zero Wayta Rica behind a boat on Whitefish
Speaker 6: Lake growing up.
Speaker 4: Oh, that don't count.
Speaker 6: Oh no, but it does translate into the ocean. Have
Speaker 6: you Have you gone in the ocean in Hawaii?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 6: But if I could, if I could afford it, I'd
Speaker 6: drop everything and move my family to Costa Rica and
Speaker 6: just live in a banana house on the beach.
Speaker 5: Given your for your long term health, I think it's
Speaker 5: a good thing that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, or a professional golfer golf courses aside.
Speaker 2: Corey is a great golfer.
Speaker 5: Can I be a magician?
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, what are we doing.
Speaker 5: The golfer?
Speaker 2: He is genuinely meat Eater's best golfer and he does
Speaker 2: it like once a year, sometimes once every two years.
Speaker 4: And I went out one days prior.
Speaker 2: But it for most people, golf isn't like that. Were like,
Speaker 2: you just don't play for a decade and then you
Speaker 2: go play and you're still good. Corey it is like that.
Speaker 1: Well, most people over think trip.
Speaker 2: Golfing is a lot. I could work the rest of
Speaker 2: my life to be as good as Corey and it
Speaker 2: wouldn't happen. I don't think genuinely my dream job, I
Speaker 2: would want to be a fantasy football commissioner for high rollers.
Speaker 2: Imagine leagues that have like a million dollar perse where
Speaker 2: I'm the commissioner for like Michael Jordan and Jerry Seinfeld
Speaker 2: and Snoop Dogg and every single week I'm like writing
Speaker 2: a newsletter for them. I'm hosting just an absolute banger
Speaker 2: draft party at the beginning of the year.
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with your Spencer. I can't imagine.
Speaker 2: It'd be great. I would design logos for each team.
Speaker 2: I'd have power rankings. I would be so good at
Speaker 2: that job, and I would just be like the fantasy
Speaker 2: football commissioner.
Speaker 1: I can't even tell you that I want that for
Speaker 1: you because I have no idea what you're talking about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's good. The other thing to be, you know,
Speaker 2: like a hunting consultant. Maybe if like Jack Links, you
Speaker 2: know they need hunt for property, tell me more. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and then I'd go out there and be like, well,
Speaker 2: here's how I'd do it, and then they would pay
Speaker 2: me and I'd also get to hunt there. So I
Speaker 2: think I think that's the other one.
Speaker 4: They'd probably pay it enough that you just be able
Speaker 4: to buy your own twenty thousand acres m.
Speaker 2: Randall dream job. Oh besides playing meat eat to trivia,
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 5: Gonna say, playing professional basketball. I can shoot a basketball.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're like, you're tall enough to be a
Speaker 2: point guard.
Speaker 3: Oh no, Yeah.
Speaker 5: I thought if we were just doing our dream jobs,
Speaker 5: we could arbitrarily change everything about ourselves. So i'd be
Speaker 5: six or eight.
Speaker 4: I don't think we've quite done that. I mean, Spencer
Speaker 4: did just kind of.
Speaker 2: That job does exist, though, one your dream job I
Speaker 2: mean so the surf instructor in Costa Rica and forestry.
Speaker 4: Jeez, six eight d.
Speaker 2: I should have small forward.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I should have thought about this more.
Speaker 2: Cal dream job. We'll come back to Randal while he
Speaker 2: thinks about it.
Speaker 4: Food truck for part of the year, that'd be great.
Speaker 5: Have you ever watched Gable?
Speaker 2: Have you ever watched a great American food truck race? Nothing,
Speaker 2: it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 4: Tell me more about why that would be a dream
Speaker 4: job for you.
Speaker 1: I really like food. I really like people appreciating the
Speaker 1: food that I cook. And here in bos Angelus, there's
Speaker 1: just like this horrible void of the breakfast sandwich market
Speaker 1: where it's like, man, you want to fork over fourteen
Speaker 1: dollars for just a crappy breakfast for anything?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: I don't, Man, it's here in Bozeman.
Speaker 4: It's very true.
Speaker 1: Oh, just ridiculously over complicated crap. So yeah, good coffee,
Speaker 1: breakfast sandwich, open until we're closed.
Speaker 4: Do you already know the makeup of this breakfast sandwich home?
Speaker 4: I want to hear.
Speaker 1: Well, the sandwich is egg McMuffin, okay, just like a
Speaker 1: nice solid egg McMuffin and American cheese.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Canadian bacon.
Speaker 4: No, God, butter with American bacon.
Speaker 2: Leave at Randall, is it butter on the muffin? Or
Speaker 2: what are we putting on the.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I do. But don't tell anybody because
Speaker 4: they love it. Yeah. So that that's one part of it.
Speaker 1: And then and yeah, I want like, you know, our
Speaker 1: reasonably sized uh you know, farm and grazing operation. And
Speaker 1: I want to live in the middle of it.
Speaker 5: Okay, Randall, I want to be uh. I want to
Speaker 5: be like a like a property manager. But like it's
Speaker 5: not it's not actually like some of like, oh, he's
Speaker 5: got a guy.
Speaker 1: You want to be like magnum p I. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: lives in that giant house and they're like.
Speaker 5: They're like, I don't really know what he does, but
Speaker 5: he seems to be comfortable and he has access to
Speaker 5: all of this stuff that he didn't earn. I'd like
Speaker 5: to be that he's got to get the boat. Oh
Speaker 5: you know, so and so is coming in for for
Speaker 5: a fishing trip. He's got to get the boats out,
Speaker 5: make sure the boats are all running well.
Speaker 2: And then you tell someone to get the boats.
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly. I have like a couple like local teenagers
Speaker 5: that do most of the work for me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but and you just shower them and wisdom.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, and uh but but I'm just sort of
Speaker 5: grumpy all the time despite this.
Speaker 1: You know where the name Evan Rude comes from.
Speaker 5: Embarrassingly comfortable situation that I've stumbled into. I think that
Speaker 5: would work well for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know about the food truck thing. It
Speaker 5: just seems hot in there.
Speaker 4: A lot of work do, Yeah, it's not like you're
Speaker 4: in a regular schedule.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Actually I was at a bar last year and
Speaker 5: there's there are two women and uh, they're just well
Speaker 5: and someone asked, no, what do you do?
Speaker 3: And she said, uh, she said.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm a I'm a I manage money. I'm a
Speaker 5: financial manager. And her friend said her friend sort of
Speaker 5: popped her balloon, and she's like, yeah, she just manages
Speaker 5: our money. Oh, and so that's what I like to do.
Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, I'd learned the first year in Bozeman
Speaker 2: that the question of saying like what do you do
Speaker 2: for a living can be a little indelicate sometimes, So
Speaker 2: I've heard folks phrase it what what keeps you busy?
Speaker 2: And that's like interesting to saying what your career is
Speaker 2: or if you don't have a career. What you do instead?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd like to be a dilettante.
Speaker 5: With a vast portfolio.
Speaker 2: So we've got We've got Randall as the starting small
Speaker 2: forward for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Cal has the best food
Speaker 2: truck in Bozeman. I'm the Fantasy football commissioners.
Speaker 1: Only if you want breakfast sandwhich is my way.
Speaker 5: Coreys Cory's sun baked on a beach somewhere in Costa
Speaker 5: Rica for the next six years, showing people how to stand.
Speaker 4: On, drink coconut, giant oaks down, missing a limb.
Speaker 2: Build the engineer. What would be your dream job?
Speaker 4: Oh? Well, I'm pretty lucky because my dream job would
Speaker 4: be uh a podcast engineer for the Ringer dot com.
Speaker 4: Somebody help me. I would leave a heartbeat culture sports.
Speaker 4: I don't give a ship. Get me out of here.
Speaker 2: That is the end of the show. We're gonna cut
