Ep. 844: The Grand Finale Extravaganza | MeatEater Radio Live!

Welcome to Meet Eater's 12 and 26

“presented by Multi-Mobile and On-X Maps.”

12 of Meet Eater's biggest and baddest hunts from the last year released throughout 2026. These are long-form episodes, so you get more of what you love.

The first one up is my baited bear hunt in Manitoba.

If you've ever wondered what a baited bear hunt is like, you'll love this episode. My favorite part was watching a younger bear spend an hour trying to figure out how to get a creatively hung beaver carcass down from a tree.

“Check it out now on Meet Eater's YouTube channel”

and be on the lookout for more 12 and 26 in the coming months.

Another turning point of fuck stuck in the road.

Time got to buy the wrist, directs you where to go. So make the best of this test and don't ask why. Isn't that a question but a lesson learning time? It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right. I hope you have the time of your life.

So take the buttergass and steal brains in your mind. Hang it on, I shelve in good health and good time.

“Tap to the memories and dance, get no trial.”

But what it's worth, it was worth all the while. It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right. I hope you have the time of your life. It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right. I hope you have the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right. Goodbye, meet it a radio light. Thank you. [Music] Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears.

I come here not to praise meter radio live, but to bury him. It's 11 a.m. mountain time that's 12 noon for our friends and resolute bane in a bit. On Thursday, March 5th, 2026, and we are live from Eidier HQ in Boseman, Montana. I'm your host, Randall Williams. Join today by my friends and dear colleagues, Spencer, New hearth, and Steven Renella.

We've got a great show for you today. As we all know, this is the meat eater radio live, grand finale live, extravaganza.

And here's what that means.

Spencer, Phil and I will be carrying this record breaking broadcasts from start to finish. Steve is going to join us for the first hour, then Brody's going to join us. Then Janis is going to join us. Then we've got a bunch of folks coming in from the office to play some games. Finally, Corey Colkins is going to join us until we ride this tired old horse into the ground.

Well, I thought everybody was getting tattoos. You just broke embargo Steve, it will move faster. It occurred to me last night that these five. It occurred to me last night that this one was dropped by. Oh, that's going to be happened.

Hold your horses.

“It occurred to me last night, these segments unintentionally resemble the five stages of grief.”

Denial anger, bargaining depression and acceptance. So hang in there, everybody. Along the way, we're going to hit a bunch of list of feedback. We're going to rip through a pile hot tip offs. We've got some surprise interviews and some goodbye messages.

We'll hit all of your favorite segments. And we'll also resuscitate some short-lived segments that were so bad.

We never tried them more than once.

Steve, Spencer, how are you today? Good. I'm doing good, exciting day. This podcast is going to be best consumed by watching it. And if you can't tune in for the whole thing, at least go just watch the very first three minutes of Randall Williams music video.

Because it was art. It was very good. I like how it made the scene like you were dead in the end. Yeah. Because then imagine the uplift when there you were.

The very first thing people see after that is actually good. We expect more of those rollercoaster rides of emotion throughout the next six years. Whenever we made videos for school projects and high school, we added an in memoriam slide at the end for one of the kids involved. And then it was just like something we did. I'm so.

So yeah, that was fun to make. Fill whipped that puppy out in a, I don't know. We did took us about an hour or two. So I think we could probably. The editing took longer than the shooting.

Okay.

Well, I'm just saying we have room in the future to do more of that.

That's missing. That was missing. Oh, for real. Yeah. We did five takes and pick the worst one.

I don't know how to take that. I don't know how to sing. You just kind of talk, but make. Kyle. Sounds together.

That easy. We did record another music video that. It is not going to make it into the show. We have six hours worth of content for you today. And there was probably another six hours that got cut.

A lot of it is still on Randall's whiteboard in his office. Yes. I didn't make it into the show. Randall's wanted to order tuxes. Well, as I mentioned, alluded to earlier, a shot for shot remake of the music video

for I'll see you again with was cleaf and Charlie Pooth from the Fast and the Furious 7 soundtrack

where they see GI dead Paul Walker into the moving vehicle. Oh, that didn't make it in. Oh, yeah. The tuxedo thing. I looked into it.

It seemed like an unnecessary expense. And I don't really know of any good costs. We don't do those around here. Yeah. It's probably hard to get a budget for a show that's done.

Well, he'd be surprised to go ahead and head him out through it. You found some money. It'd be surprised. This might be the most expensive episode of Radio Live in its history. Definitely is.

As expensive as every other episode, we've ever done combined. Yeah. We wanted to actually just bring a camera as we drove around Boseman and like went to a bar and went to a restaurant. But that seemed complicated.

So what we've got, we've got.

“And I think it's people are going to like it.”

A lot of our traditional segments and some fun surprises mixed in. If they have the patience for a six hour piece of media, we'll see. Later on, Randall wants to order out back steakhouse, which I've respected your commitment to that. For the last few weeks, Randall be like, you don't want to be funny. If we'd order out back steakhouse.

What is that funny? I don't know. But it might be the problem with the show. Now if they can look at that funny. It's going to be hilarious.

I have it up on my screen right now. When Randall's eating baby back ribs in the studio later, that will be quite funny. I might get a Joey Mac and cheese. Okay. It's all Australian themed.

Yeah. I guess Steve, do you want to maybe before we dive into all the fun here? We could talk about the new show for a sec. Yeah, the new show is going to be called the new show. Yeah.

I'm sorry, I didn't enunciate, but there's an eye added in that as well. The new show is the new show. Yeah. And that'll be starting next week. Yeah.

Same losers you use to. It's just not live. It's a weekly new show. And we're going to be hitting the news. The news.

We're going to be hitting our news. Our news. And your news. And your news. Yeah.

So that's a very exciting. Yeah, and that's kind of what the next week of mediator podcasts looks like here. Should we get on with this? Phil, sorry. We've also got Jake to produce through the studio here.

Oh, yes. And I didn't check in with you, Phil. How are you doing? I'm doing well. I was telling you earlier this morning.

I did not get a lot of sleep last night. I don't know if it was the massive carniers out of burrito eight before I went to bed. It was probably a bad choice. But I like to think it was just the excitement and the firver that was awaiting me today this morning.

“So do you find it having a big old deal meal right before bed gives you kind of weird dreams?”

Oh, what 100% of the problems elevated heart rate nightmares is bad. Don't get dreams.

Go ahead. Dude. He's not good about dream. Yeah.

“I took a melatonin last night because I didn't think I'd be able to sleep either.”

Just stressing out over this. Then I learned that's a, I mean, I still do now and then, but you're like basically taking hormones. Well, I don't do it often. You know, just when I really need it, like for the meaty dinner finale. Yeah.

I never put that together.

It's like a hormone treatment. Yeah. But you're no doctor. Well, keep the show going. You're getting me on horseback to that great job.

Sorry for that. The segment joke about the, the we're going to have lunch. Our first segment is nearly one hour fishing. Do I feel lucky? Well, do you talk?

Go ahead. Make my cast. Now until now, this segment has been known as one minute fishing. But in the course of that segment, we did it 22 times. And only four contestants have been successful.

Is that right? For the grant. Yeah. For the grand finale, 18%. We're doing nearly one hour fishing.

That's where we go live to someone who's fishing. And they have somewhere between 45 and 60 minutes to catch a fish. And if they're successful, it will make a 500 donation to a conservation group. This week, our angler is Pat Durkin, who's near Oceo, Wisconsin.

And he's fishing for a donation to wallize for tomorrow.

Based in Fondalak, Wisconsin. He is the only two time. Or is on the hardwater is the only two time one minute fishing champion. It's an honor to have him with us. Pat accounts for half of all the victories in the history of this segment.

Pat, welcome to the show. Hey guys. Thanks for having me. Looks like you've got quite a crew there with you. Yeah.

Let me introduce our crew here. My grandson Eddie. I need a look at the camera. Steve is Eddie's hero. What's up, Eddie?

I'm a carpenter. My good friend, Dom Flot. Our president guided all around. Good fishing expert. Excellent.

Excellent. You got quite a stack of meatlander on the ice, man. You've got a good morning so far. I got a quick trivia question for you guys. You know mine.

What happened?

190 years ago tomorrow morning.

Give me a minute. 190 bad. How's some tough math right there? There are too many years. What happened, Pat?

1836. Oh. Oh. Tomorrow morning. 1336.

Arch 6, 1836. Here are the one. I'm at a loss, Pat. What is it? Here's a great for you.

Oh. Can I borrow? When was the elbow? I don't know. You're right.

Steve. 500 bucks. That's great. It's not how it works. Pat.

Can you tell us what you're fishing with here?

“If you don't mind giving away a trade secret?”

We're fishing mainly with wax worms. Also chicks. The crop. He's hitting up up on one inch long ice fishing jig. Hmm.

Who's that guy? Who's that guy behind you there? This is dumb. Fuck. Don't you want to stamp?

He's the mastermind of the excursion here. Right. Jack. I don't know how well you guys will see this. But we're using these.

Widdle maker slab spoon. Seekers. Yeah. Just tipped with a little plastic on. I don't know if you guys can see that.

Oh, yeah. Got it. Yeah. Orange and yellow. And you're a fish and guide, or you're so enthusiasm.

I'm the guy with the picker bolt motor. The bolt with a saw blade on it. Oh, yeah. Awesome. Hey, Pat.

Have that little kid. Take a couple of those slabs there on the ice and hold them up to the camera. I can't quite tell what I'm looking at. Yeah. Grab a couple of them.

Big slabs and put them in front of the camera. Put your finger in there. Fish and hard. They get my little gills, croppy, and basins. It looks like a little mix bag there.

Don't embarrass us. Don't embarrass us. Oh, wow. Got it. I didn't cut a 10 inch gill earlier.

Very nice. Has there been any catch and release today, Pat? Not at all. OK. That's the little ones.

Just for small ones that are not worth a couple of cleaning. Sure. Now is everybody going to be cleaning fish later?

“Or is that reserved for the the adults in the operation?”

I think that kid has looked as figure. He likes to watch. He's not quite skill with the knife yet. Gotcha. Gotcha. Well, Pat, to kick off our one hour nearly one hour fishing here. We're going to do a traditional one minute fishing segment and see if you guys can get lucky in 60 seconds as is tradition.

So if you guys are ready, once you get positioned over your holes there and give it a whirl.

Yep. So let's do this thing. Let's all bring in. All right. Let's bring in the water, Pat.

What's that? Are jigs in the water, Pat? What's that? Are jigs in the water, are you going? Go more and go.

OK. Oh, put the positive energy start. Yep.

“Let us know when you're fishing for anglers today.”

I got to rebate my book. Hmm. I think you'd have been ready. He's had too much success this morning. Yeah, it looks like they're having a hard time keeping their bait on their hooks there.

They're fishing off a close to each other. Yeah, they are not spread out. There's the most lines.

So one of them's on. They're all on their accounts.

Just the most lines you've ever had in the water for one minute fishing. Yeah, I don't think it is. That's what Pat's so successful. Yeah, I don't like how they leave all their ice shavings too close to the hole. Because you know, that starts to freeze up and it, you are snagged up on it.

OK, Pat, are you ready? All right. Start the clock. Start the clock. It's got one minute.

Oh. He's done it twice before. So exciting. Can he three-peat? He's probably still have that much good ice there.

It's like a... Yeah, we're in the norm. A nice controlled jig. Oh, he's done it. He's done it again.

He's done it again. That's gracious. Three. The only two time, and now the only three time champion of one minute fishing, Mr. Patter, can you go with one minute?

He's guys. My goodness. He's a fast run. American hero. One minute fishing legend.

He's done it again. He's a firebrand. A firebrand. If you read his writing, there's people that want a killpad, Dirk. Not in this room.

Not in this room. Not in this room. We celebrate the man and his legacy, Pat.

“Pat, can you give us a look at that fish that you just pulled in?”

What was that? A little blue-gill? Oh, blue-gill. Oh. Fantastic work.

That little blue-gill has earned five hundred dollars as a donation to wallize for tomorrow. Congratulations, Pat. Oh. Well done, Pat. And like we said, we will check back in with you and see how the day is progressing here for the next,

Oh, 49 minutes. So we'll be here. That's better. That's back when they made real Americans right there. Oh, man.

Congratulations to the whole Durkin clan. What a day. The whole day to Wisconsin. Thanks for having us. Yes.

That really, he reps them well. We'll be around. Talk to you in a bit, Pat. Thank you. God.

Thank goodness. Well, that boads well for today's episode. Today's episode. My God. Tremendously exciting.

Our next segment is in defensible laws. Oh, Jesus. Oh, does this mind? Hey, little hunter, let me let you kind of cause you choose us. So hard to handle now.

See ya.

So we figured hard truths and indefensible law were basically the same segment.

And I like that drop better than they. My indefensible law drops. So there you go. Yeah, and that's your. That's you have the license to do that as the artist.

What is the indefensible law drop sound like? It's just like a lawn order queue and currency and over it. Keep playing it. Is it any good? Oh, can we hear it at some point today?

Yeah, I don't. I don't have it prepped right now, but we can. Oh, we got them. Here it is. Oh, that is weak.

Usually I trust your judgment filled, but that was better. Oh, I think so. I'd like to. I'm a friend Korean coming in there. Okay.

Well, indefensible laws where we come up with ideas that we want to be laws, they may or may not be

“defensible and Steve, I believe, would you like to lead us off with your indefensible”

laws? So my turn. Yeah. Yeah, I have a graphic. Yeah.

Give me 30 seconds on that graphic Steve. If you want to. If you want to intro it. Okay. What I think as a society, culturally, yes, we spend a lot of time.

We're honoring places where people died, roadside, you know, science, like, like I went to where they shot Kennedy for instance. Right. Right. We also do a lot of markers about where we put dead people and cemeteries.

Yep. I feel that what's almost more interesting is that we would memorialize where people almost died. Yeah.

Yeah. accident.

I mean, he got picture the most tightly wound coil of the picture the most tightly

wound coil of hard pipe. Yeah. Okay. Well, three inch poly pipe that's been wound tight since the beginning of time. This is up in the fish.

Yeah. And then all of a sudden all of a sudden that wind comes loose. And because of just it's a weird deal, but this happened to be this is where the indefensible pipe comes down. This was on Tongue National Forest.

Why we had this pipe there is because of the route the pipe had to take to get to our place. Gotcha. So I feel that I want to erect, I mean, flattened him out. And now that and with these replace traditional like side of death markers or is it just

additive, it just would be that someone's wandering through the woods and they would come across this. That would be good. Let's see that here almost lies pooter course struck ahead by coil pipe.

“Would you have any of these tombstones, and he would give us some examples?”

What would be the most prominent of these in your legacy? Well, it'd be like almost got charged by a bear or whatever. Yeah. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah.

Like you can go where custard died, but you can't go where he almost died.

Maybe the same place. No. It'd be all over the place. It'd be like civil war. And these might be more colorful stories, like you don't know how to sad.

Yeah, you don't. Because these are stories of hope. The stories of hope. Yeah. Why didn't he die?

Oh, didn't hit him hard enough. In the case of booter. I'll admit you texted, not just hat off. You texted this image to fill and me this morning. And I had no clue what your law would be until you got to the end of your sentence.

Yeah, this is not what I was expecting. But I like it. Yeah, I'm on board. I like it. Do you feel that as a society we focus on the negative, and maybe we over memorialize

the negative and under memorialize the real close calls? You remember the series we did close calls? Mm-hmm.

“Okay, close calls was something bad almost happened.”

Yeah. Very popular series. Yeah. Blood trails. Is that it did happen?

My only reservation with this is that at bad intersections, they'd just be covered in these things. I don't know. That's not adventurous enough. Mm-hmm.

This is the woods you kind of think. Okay. I'm bringing this to this show. Yeah. Listen, I thought I was at.

Me neither radio live. I'm not. I'm not down at the highway commission. Yep, that's fair. That's fair.

Who's funding? I'm not like a town hall meeting. Who's funding these tombstones? Just wherever it is. It'll come out of you guys budget.

Okay. Yeah. Well, that's where the budget's actually going. Sure. It's a fun these tombstones.

Sure. Sure. Yeah, I mean, they don't have to be marble, just whatever sort of rough stone is natural. Yeah.

I like him to look like that. How do you think Poodoo would feel about this? Would he be tickled? I resent to him, yeah. But I'm gonna.

Because, you know, you could do this. Brando made that. She's very, she's young enough where she can do that stuff immediately. For me to get that graphic, I would have had to have chiseled it. Yeah.

With marble and took in a picture and scanned the photo. And now what a fact. I would have faxed. It over. Sure.

She had it done in no time. I don't know how she did it. She did it. She's like instantly. She has a lot of like hidden skill sets that feel like instantly was able to generate

that image. I don't know how she made that tombstone. I'm gonna try to get the actual physical tombstones you made. But like very quickly. You could just do this so Steve, you could put that up at your fish shack where Poodoo

almost died. Oh, I think I will.

“Are there any other, would there be any other close call tombstones?”

Lots of them. I mean, at the at the fish shack. Yeah, it'd be like here almost lies, Steven is wife. Oh, both you. But it'd be a floating memorial.

Okay. Two tombstones. I'm gonna tie it to a log and anchor that log out where I have it. That's good. Well, Spencer, do you have what's your indefensible log here?

It's not much of a law. I was thinking about the best run business in America that I could think of. Does anything come to mind if I were to say that to you? Costco? No.

Me neither. Well, yeah. Number one. Number two though. I think it would be Chick-fil-A.

They're always efficient.

Always consistent. For all those great clothes on Sundays. Closed on Sundays. Yeah, and I like that. I don't care about the whole.

I don't like, I'm not a blue law kind of guy. Yeah. But I like it that everybody would say like you can't have a restaurant that's closed on Sunday. And they're like, yeah.

We did a nice way. Yeah. I've never lived a finger in a nice way.

So I, you know, would get it like two times a year when I'm traveling.

But it's always just so well-run.

“So what I want to do is kind of cut through and something to know.”

What do you got? Me and Johnny. This is years ago. Everybody's all Chick-fil-A. This Chick-fil-A that.

We're always hearing all about it. Give me an example of what they're saying about it. Oh, the Chick-fil-A. Oh, it's so good. Okay.

This is awful. Let's waffle fries. Nothing but respect. Sure. There would you go into Chick-fil-A.

The people that worked there. They seemed like they could get a job at the bank. They do. That I'm going. Yeah.

But I went there with Johnny.

First time we ever stepped foot in one.

We got our sandwiches. I don't remember. We landed in airplanes and went and got some. We got our sandwiches. And to be honest with you, when it came down to the actual experience of eating the sandwich,

I was like, dude, I've had a sandwich. It's like this, a thousand places. It's not special about the sandwich. Yeah. I like it to the lady that took our order.

Could have worked at the bank if she wanted to. That was cool. My experience is that every time I've been to one, they're just perfectly run. So I would like to give them a wild life age and see to run just to see how they do. And we could start off with a small one, like the Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife.

That one's not very important. No, they make it that you can't fish on Sunday. Yep. But it would be okay because they're so successful that everyone would be tagged out on Saturday.

“That's how good Chick-fil-A is at their job.”

So if we just give them a game this time. The dumbest and defensible law I've ever heard. Yeah. Can you change it? Can you make a thing that's called the dumbest?

The dumbest law? Yeah. And we're going to give. I trust Chick-fil-A that much, that they could run the Delaware Game Department. If they do a good job, maybe you know, give them a state like Missouri and then they could

take a stab at the federal agency. Does anyone want to be in the room? I think it would work out. I believe in them. They do that good of a job every time.

I agree in your assessment of Chick-fil-A. So you think wildlife management should be handed over to the restaurant the private restaurant business. I trust Chick-fil-A. Yes.

They're that good. Hey, man. Listen. Are we going to do the Delaware? Delaware.

Delaware. I'm not saying this. Yeah. Yeah. I am.

Spencer. Welcome to Meet Eater's 12 and 26 presented by Multi-Mobile and On-Ex Maps. 12 of Meet Eater's biggest and baddest hunts from the last year. Released throughout 2026. These are long-form episodes so you get more of what you love.

The first one up is my baited bear hunt in Manitoba.

If you've ever wondered what a baited bear hunt is like, you'll love this episode. My favorite part was watching a younger bear spend an hour trying to figure out how to get a creatively hung beaver carcass down from a tree. Check it out now on Meet Eater's YouTube channel and be on the lookout for more 12 and 26 in the coming months.

Well, my indefensible law, I had one. Does that sauce they make good on fish? Well, they make a bunch of different sauces. They make like a pollination. That one I don't get the fan fair about.

It's kind of like a sweet chili isn't it? I do with chicken. I'm just like honey mustard barbecue buffalo. I don't really need anything beyond that. Yeah.

Yeah, I hate that.

“That's why I just show how to go off the earth.”

Stuff like that. That single-handedly did it. Well, Steve, we'll see how you react to my indefensible law. We're getting into application season here and I'm thinking about how I'll be filled with rage and resentment when I find out that certain people drew tags.

I wanted that in my mind, didn't deserve them. Did I deserve it? You feel it's merit-based. Well, no, I just, so my law would be that fish and fish wildlife and parks in the state of Montana draws two pools for each tag.

And they start calling people. If a successful tag draw is only one of them to call people. Over the age of 18, they call them and said, "Tell me about this tag you put in for. How long have you wanted this tag? What do you know about this place?"

Yeah, where is it? Where is it? Where is it exactly? It's someone's like, "I don't know. My uncle told me this is sweet throughout."

Then they call the next person. That guy's like, "I've been looking forward to this my whole life." If I could have one opportunity. I could tell you, "Right, where I'm going to camp." Maybe they could even negotiate with them.

They'd be like, "Let me tell you, if you give me this amount, go tag. I will not put in for big horn sheep for the rest of my life." And that way we can kind of thin out the application pool. You picture there being a tag concierge. Yeah, something like that with a vetting, someone like Randall and audit of the tag pool.

Does this person really want this? That's a great idea. If someone's like, "You know, I'm not that into mountain goats, but I just put in for everything every year." And I don't even know where that unit is.

I'm going to be hunting elk and Wyoming that month." So I'll probably have a few days to hunt this tag. They just kind of make their notes and it's like Santa Claus. They go down the list again, and so it's still lottery-based, but there's an added bit of scrutiny.

“I think you do like, "This is great, it's a good law.”

I'm glad I could picture it. It's great law." I can picture the interviewer has some discretion and they put you on a sliding scale, right? Just to make it easy. They're able to take these inputs, they're able to have a conversation, and then they're

able to go like one to ten, do they deserve it? It's like a weighted, it's like weight and grades. So in the end, there's a number. Yeah. Yeah.

And then it's got to be a number.

It's not just, I mean, at first I had this idea of like a council of elders.

Mm-hmm. That's a good act. It's expensive. Yeah. It would be a volunteer-based.

It'd be like a bunch of old timers that have like hunted, cheap, and goats when like anybody could get a tag, you know, or have it, then they're going to be better. That's true. I mean, what would hurt me on this scale is I'm a guy who applies in the lab. That's like 12 hours of the application being open, and I think they would look at that.

And they would say this doesn't mean as much to him because he didn't apply 24 days. No. No, no. They would know that. They wouldn't hurt.

Because there's also guys, so maybe it helps me then. There's guys that steal better. There's guys that sweat it up into the last minute, and he was waiting for all the data to come in. Yes.

For instance, a couple years ago, when you drew an elk tag, and then a week before

the season, you found out that you'd put in for the wrong tag.

That would hurt for the tag that I wanted. That would hurt me. That would have hurt you. Yeah. Well, maybe that law is defensible.

Randall also doesn't like if someone posts a reminder on Instagram about life. That's true. You have 24 hours to apply for the big horn show.

“I think that I think that would have been, I think that might have been an indefensible”

law in the past. Did you have time for a quick story? Sure. We got show six hours. Yeah.

We've got plenty of time. Please tell a long story. Well, I'll tell a shorty. When I was in, I came out of what grade. When I was in whatever grade you're in right before you start getting to be able to vote.

The teacher. Oh. Have I told you the story? Yeah. Go on, though.

It's a good story. I probably tell the story all the time.

His name was Aldean, and the teacher was basically said, because he was supposed to

encourage people to go register to vote and help and get registered to vote. What did he teach? I can't remember. Go a minute or whatever. Something like that.

Anyways, as member him saying, why would I want to dilute my vote with you people's vote? Yeah. His thing was, remember. I'm concerned only with what affects Aldean. So he's like, there's no way I would try to get all you people down there voting

too, because that makes my vote worth less. That's fair. I don't trust you. They're realists. A cold, you know, clear eyed realists.

I feel like I've heard all their stories about that teacher. I feel like he made an impact. Did you ever trade a shotgun tumor? No, that was a different gap, but that's also a very good story. Very good story.

That's back in the old days, man. The good old days. We're in the good old days right now. No, I didn't say good days. I said the old days.

That's the old days. I was going to say it. I was like, this is my one of my favorite stories I was telling you. It's reminding me.

“When they, I remember them saying, hey, you know what?”

This isn't in whatever high school. Yeah, them going. You know what? No more guns at school. And I thought, well, that's not going to work.

And I'm going down. I'm that kid. I go to the principal's office. I tell store I find. I go to the principal's office, and I say, well, what do you mean?

He goes, well, that doesn't really, that's not for the guys that hunt and stuff. Yeah. I was like, cool, so I was nervous for a minute. Yeah. What about crossbows?

Can we have crossbows in the parking lot? Alrighty. Well, that's the very last time we'll do indefensible law made rest in peace. Our next segment is hot tip off. Oh, okay.

It's a question. Oh, please do. Do you feel like you're not checking in enough on the comments? I'm trying. I've been flagging once here and there, but it's, it's real tough guys.

Pretty soon. I'm trying. I'm going to list your feet back here in a little bit. We decided that doing like 10 to 12 listener feedbacks today might be a lot. We're going to kind of play it by ear.

Sorry, Phil. I feel like I'm getting ahead of you with my transitions here. Oh, no, you're fine. I'm going to set that up again. Yeah, our next segment is hot tip off.

Hot tip off is where two listeners go head to head with competing pieces of advice.

If you have a hot tip up until today, you could have taken a one minute video on your phone and emailed it to [email protected] with the subject line hot tip off, but it's too late because this is the last episode.

“Well, I don't know because I think that this could have a home in the whole show.”

Your news. Yeah. Yeah. Like a lot of this, I think. Sure.

Could have a home. Okay. Well, stand by. Stand, yeah. Stand by here.

Watch and dirt and catch fish. I mean, that's a whole episode.

Just contestants for our first hot tip off of the day are Thomas Yoder and Zach Venkis.

Folks in the chat make sure to vote on which hot tip is hotter. Roll that hot tape, Phil. You know, I actually don't know which to I'm going to play right now because I didn't label the name. I just labeled them one, two, three, four and so on, so you don't know what you're serving

up right now. We'll have to find out together. We also didn't talk about how we knew bathroom breaks. We're just getting going to give you Tyler box. Tyler, welcome to the show.

All right, hot tip here for those rut hunts when you got a long day in your in the saddle. I don't know about you, but for me, hitting knees on the trees, moving, just fidget all the time. So what I did, I went and got some camouflage nylon, sewed up a little hammock here. Now that you can sit in it, super comfortable can sit here for hours and hours and hours,

“not feeling like you need to move, super easy just to stand right back up.”

It's like a saddle, but extra big, extra comfy. Now, when it's really cold out, when I hadn't sewn up a little under quilt for it. And once I've had to blaze orange, other side camo, just wrap that bad boy around. Clip it in. Now, your butt's going to be nice and toasty, but it's really cold.

You can just kind of like nestle on in a little bit right here. And you're good to just ride it out for hours. How's it going to shoot out of that damn thing? Jason Troud. To the boat, I mean.

Yeah. Amy, do you hear my name? Jason Troud. I come out of to you today from Snowy, here in Pennsylvania. Shout out to Brody.

And there, I got a hot tip for you on how to convert a standard 200 foot ounce laundry detergent bottle into a waterproof, weatherproof trail camera hood that will keep your camera free of debris and snow. But also, not under your feet with your photos.

Take that same bottle, take utility knife, always remembering practice knife safety.

I cut off both the spout side and the front side so you're left with this bottomless hood shape. Take that foot and get a drill. Draw some holes in the back so I can cut a slot as well as one for your cable lock. I'm going to take a hood and paint it black.

There you go. Run your strap there, put your camera in, strap it to your tree, you're good to go. It's taking something that you'd normally throw away, make it some useful out of it. There you go. Mmm.

Don't got to talk about that. Your vote is for Jason then. Well, because the other guy, I mean, they sell those. Hmm. What do they?

He may have or comfortable. No, no, he made, he made a saddle wrap to go around him while he's in his saddle. They'll do you have a pole going for the odd pole. It is, I understand. Live.

So get those votes in.

Give you a minute or two.

I'm just going to show up. I'll set the pole to side. I like to give a vote. I mean, I like the, I think my vote would probably be for the trail camera cover because I just liked that guy's vibe and it's recycling something.

Yeah. The other guy is sewing things which I greatly admire when it comes to people who make their own stuff. Oh, yeah. I've often thought about taking an old sleeping bag and just cutting it off at like

at the waist and putting a little zip cord in there. So when I'm sitting there glassing, I could pull a sleeping bag over my own. Yeah. Because, you know, like Puffy pants work great and all, but having everything trapped inside of son.

So believe they call that an elephant foot bag. Yeah. He's by mountaineers. I got a hot tip. The bowl bolt.

He's guys out of the water. What's that? So kids get them a big, insulated poncho and when they start getting cold in the boat or whatever, yeah, put that on them. That's a tough tip.

Yeah. I vote for Tyler Fox. He had the sleeping bag hammock because that dude, despite being 20 feet up in a tree, he is more comfortable than 95% of people who were listening to this right now. Is he going to shoot a bow out of the house?

He would need some good fair warning that a deer is coming to get ready. I think like that deer better be damn loud coming through the woods. Well, give you 30 more seconds on the bum, the pole guys. Is it close? Is it close?

You know, it's really not. So who's winning me?

“If you want to vote for Steve, hashtag on me.”

I mean, the chat will not go towards any day. We can just find out now because it's not going to tighten up here.

The winner with 74% of the vote was Jason with the trail cam hood.

I don't want a bunch of wet snow laid over the thing. He stole that from trappers, Martin trappers. Oh, but cubby, well, that fever is going to get him a hundred dollar needy to gift card. That's a good idea.

Wow. We've got a hundred. Yeah, I don't want to hang on the other guy man. I'm being the highest school. No, I like it.

I like it. We got five more hot tip offs coming to you later today. Yeah. Yeah. And we might not get to the last one until 455, but we'll get there.

Fill at this point, we have a few messages from the crew.

“Why don't you play, want to play Clay's message here?”

Yeah. Let's do it. Clay had a message for radio life.

Radio live, I mean, I'm sad to see you go, but we were never that close.

I mean, I just feel like you gave a lot of attention to the guys up in Boseman and me and Brent and Bear, you know, we just, we just didn't get to know you that well. I don't, it's not really your fault. It's just kind of the way things worked out, but that also means we just were never that close.

I mean, I watched it. I enjoyed it from afar, but it was kind of like watching somebody else eat a ribeye steak, you know, and for that, you know, we'll see you later. See, I'm like, what a nice, respectful message. Clay, is there something I'll get from my wife someday?

Yeah. It's not you, it's me. That was sort of like, it's not you. It's not me. I just, I'm in dangerous, never that close.

Clay clearly had other things on his mind at that moment.

At that moment. You know, they keep through that on for his goodbye message. I don't know.

“I think he's been trying, I think he's been doing a little fashion show with all his”

articles. Because he's from down south and then he's going up north and she's not really confused about it. Yeah, I think that message is going to be very familiar with the rest of the crew members who tell us goodbye today.

Yeah, I would like to say, you know, he said me and Brent and Bear, but Brent Reeves hosted several episodes of this program flew across the country to do just that. So when actually earlier, when we said this might be the most expensive episode, hell, you're right. I would have to count Brett's airfare and hotel for that.

But, you know, let's see what Tony has to say here, Phil. Media radio live crew, just sending a little note for your sign-off episode here the last one. It's pretty sad. You know, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say, I really liked the way that you

usually had some hosts in studio to do this that weren't totally dependent on just who happened to be available in the Bozman office. I like that. I really like how there was, you know, sometimes guests, but mostly just not, I guess,

“or maybe some call-in stuff was really informative and that's what I like about podcasts.”

And, you know, a lot of the segments that were on this show were a part of this show. And that's something that you can say about it. So I'm sad to see a go, but it sounds like we have a lot of good stuff in the hopper. We will, you know, these are big shoes to fill, but I think we'll figure something out. And I think we've got some good stuff coming.

So congratulations to all involved and we'll see you on the next adventure. Mm-hmm. What a sweetheart. I mean, you know, that's really sticks to me that, like, how the segments on the show are part of the show.

Yeah. Yeah. That was Tony's been really hits me. Yeah. It was a podcast.

That was recorded live in the studio. I really hit him. Really, really quick, guys. I don't even know if I'm allowed to do this, but I figured since Jake is in the room today, and he helps Jordan with blood trails. We got a comment from someone saying, "When can we expect a blood trails drop?"

And Jake, I don't know. Is it okay to play the sneak peak trailer for season two? Is that? Yeah, I think, I think now it would be. You think we could do that?

That's great. Yeah. For the first time ever. Great. Here we go.

For years at Echo Through Truck Speakers and Tree Stands across America, a live campfire style show about conservation, wild game, and the occasional awkward commenter. Welcome, everybody. To meet either radio live, we found a bit of very active channel. But then, silence.

This season on blood trails, we investigate the mysterious death of meet-eater radio live. Was it poor ratings, internal politics, a rogue comment section, or did the show wander

If I'm in that close, I'm drawn and ready with lethal force.

“These smaller cartridges are capable, but cleanly killing everything from bears to”

moose. Just raise your head. If you think this is probably the best ever, meet-eater radio live. There was no body, no closure, just an empty time slot where hunters once gathered to debate broad heads and backstraps.

In this explosive episode, we reconstruct the final minutes. We analyze the suspects, algorithm shifts, audience discontent, the KGB, and that one guy who can't let go of his outdated magnum.

Was it murder, a mercy killing, or did Brody finally get caught using fake reading glasses

to look smarter than he is? Tune in next week for a brand new totally real episode of Blood Trails, the murder of meet-eater radio live. Oh, that's chilling. I'm sorry, doubted you on that idea, Randall.

This was one of my ideas that seemed like it wasn't going to happen, and Jordan executed it to perfection. Oh, well done, Jordan. Along with Jake, thank you, Jake, for putting me together. Well done, guys.

Don't worry, I can't wait to watch, I'm dying to know why I have it. Should we check back in with Pat here? Yeah, let's see if he's paying any attention, see if that pile of fish is doubled by now. Hi, here we go. What?

Everybody. Did they get bored with the show, Pat? No, I just grabbed my sandwich. There's your guys problem right there, Pat, did everybody else fall in, where's the rest of your crew?

Well, Eddie, you had to go back the second grade.

Dom's still here, so it's just two of us now, we've got a few more crop peas and a couple more bluegills. Incredible.

“What did his absence note say from school that he had to go beyond a live podcast?”

This gets very complicated, Spencer, because his little sister is in kindergarten and got to go snowboarding out west the last three days, so they keep him calm. They told them early and it was late that he gets to go on meet you to radio live with me. Wow.

And that meant a lot to him, you could tell I was like, really excited all week about this. Okay. So you guys made his day. It's a good time to be a Durkin grandchild, then they're just doing all kinds of stuff

around the country. It's, you know, it's a lot fun, and keep those, you know, I've made, um, last weekend, I made Eddie a wingbone fall for Turkey season, so we're getting ready for that, too. Pat, how many fish would you say you've caught since we last checked in with you? Only about, I'd say four or five.

Wow. It's low down.

“Well, according to the rules of nearly one hour fishing, we're going to add a dollar to”

the pot for every fish that you've caught. So we'll be donating either five hundred and four or five hundred and five dollars to wallize for tomorrow. Oh my goodness. That's great.

Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Yeah. Are you going to be out there all day, Pat? No.

We'll probably shut down pretty soon because I got go on the clean fish. Oh, you're living the dream. Yep. No complaints here. Alrighty, well, Pat, again, congratulations on being the one and only, uh, three time

winner of one minute fishing.

It's the, uh, it's an honor that sort of by the nature of this show being canceled will never

be topped. So you can, you can wear that. You can wear that hat proudly until the, until the, you know, your final days here. We will erect a one minute fishing hall of fame in the office here, Pat. You're going to be the only inductee.

I could not be more proud. All right, Pat. Great to see you. Thanks for, uh, thanks for joining us here and, uh, congratulations. What's again?

You're bad. Thanks for having me on. Thank you, Pat. Oh, boy. What a guy.

Welcome to Meet Eater's 12 and 26 presented by Multimobile and on X maps. 12 of Meet Eater's biggest and baddest hunts from the last year.

These are long form episodes, so you get more of what you love.

The first one up is my baited bear hunt in Manitoba.

If you've ever wondered what a baited bear hunt is like, you'll love this episode. My favorite part was watching a younger bear spend an hour trying to figure out how to get a creatively hung beaver carcass down from a tree. Check it out now on Meet Eater's YouTube channel and be on the lookout for more 12 and 26 in the coming months.

“Well, Phil, uh, is it time that we, uh, getting to some list of feedback here?”

Let's get into some listener feedback. Uh, now's the time to get some more questions in. I've been flagging them here and there, but, you know, you guys have been knocking out the park and it's impossible to keep up with you, but I'll try my best. Uh, we have a question.

I'll try to get some Steve Fogus once and, uh, while he's here for the next few minutes. Yeah. Uh, this is from Russell Wickland. He asks, "What is the go-to book to bring the hunting camp this year?" Alaska moose in September. He's got plenty of audio books for the 56-hour drive to where

he's going.

You guys have any recommendations.

I'd have to know more. Oh, you need more details than that. Wow. Do you have anything like, like, just kind of general picks books you've read recently that you've enjoyed classics?

Well, I'm trying to think if he's going to Alaska, let's just say that, like you want to get in the mood. Mm-hm. You want us to be in the mood. I would go with, um, I would go with coming into the country.

Mm-hm. By John McFee. I would go with Alaska's wolf man. Just throwing some off top of the head. Yeah.

I would go with, it's a little northeal. Mm-hm. But if you're an intellectual fellow and you got a good, uh, and you got, yeah, I don't know. If I knew you better, I might say Arctic dreams. Mm-hm.

From an author who's kind of uneasy with hunting. Yeah, and that's one that would be good for, uh, a hunting camp where you're doing a lot of sitting and waiting. A lot of sitting and waiting. If you're doing a great job, moves hunt.

Yeah. If you're a rich top hunting, where you, you get in a contemplative mood, Arctic dreams.

“But I think coming into the country is, is just a phenomenal, uh, a phenomenal, Alaska book.”

But it's such a rich category. Mm-hm. I mean, there's a bazillion-grade Alaska books, man. There's also just, like, classic Jack London stuff. I mean, that's, no, no, whatever.

(laughs) I, I, I downloaded, like, a, because you can get a bunch of just, like, classic books on Candle or whatever on your phone, you know, for, like, ninety-nine cents. We don't know these are bargain-hunter. I don't know.

If you think that as a bargain-hunter. Think and volume. Mm-hm. Moby Dick. Moose honor.

But what? It is name and book. Moby Dick works metaphorically for Moose honor. It's a man on the grass. Mm-hm.

Uh, I think I've read eight books this year, and I track them in an app called Goodreads. And there's one book out of those eight that have given five stars, and that was travels with Charlie and search of America, like, John Steinbeck. Mm-hm.

“And that, particularly, I think, works if you're driving 56 hours.”

That sounds like you're going across most of the continent, which is what John Steinbeck does in travels with Charlie. He drives around the whole country and stops all over the world. Oh, read this thing more carefully for the 56-hour drive. Yeah.

He's got plenty. Understood. But he's looking for, like, what to read when he's there. Travels with Charlie and search of America. I mean, so he can reflect on his drive after you've gone through, you know, a whole bunch

of states. But you're just name and book. You're not even, like, cherry-picking for the experience. I just, if he said just names and volume, I would've done that. A long road trip, 56-hour, he doesn't need him for the road trip.

I understand, but he's driving 56 hours. So he's going to see the whole country and then he's going to read a book about when John Steinbeck saw the whole country. Oh, I got you. Very good book.

Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment. There you go. Chattice. Chattice. And I think Chattice is in the channel, a lot.

Oh, yeah. He's a loyal lawyer. This is a senior question for sure. Yeah, I've been trying to catch a coyote with a dirt hole set with a little meat and gland and urine lure, but you stress that with a period.

I keep catching grinners instead. Should I not use meat? How can I keep possums out? Yeah, I think if you're using, if you're using like a taint, like a tainted meat, that's going to draw grinners, I, like, I've kind of, as I've matured, gotten older and

wiser, I've come to have much more faith in very, very subtle sets, placed, and very specific places, like instead of trying to draw them into some loud, crazy situation that they

never encountered, putting it right where they want to be right on the digital or right

to run.

“If they run into two track, it's like you're right in there and just minimum, minimum attractance.”

Hmm, just going like subtle, because it's, but it's, when you're, it's hard because

in your head, you're thinking that you're just going to have fresh dirt thrown out, you're going to have 18 smells going on, it's going to have visual appeals, it's going to smell like something rotten, and that's all great, man, but it's like you're, you're catching you, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're making a set that you think, you're making a set that you think would look appealing, subtlety, this, and analogous situation for

my own past is when we were like growing up and wanting to catch catfish, would have our parents drive us to Meyer and go buy like stink baits, did you stuff in tubes and

all this other shit that looks good, that you see on TV, it's like as soon as we switch

“to just a worm in a hook, catch 10 times more fish, but it was like, if we want to catch”

big fish, we need all this stuff that seems good to us, and we were just getting sold on, you know, false bill of goods, right? I'll, I'll, I'll one up you, not one up you, but I'll stack that on you over the years on halibut to eventually realize after trying to put like, you know, giant baits and squirt stuff and this and that two different baits, a small flutter jig, but you're like, it's just hard to have faith, and it's out

of keep the granders down, give a struggle of too many possums in your coyote traps,

only back in one out, yeah, but we don't have him here, but, um, and Michigan, uh, yeah,

granders, trapping red fox, granders was a real problem, was a real issue, you know, but during the mini fur boom, I'll talk and recently was Stu Miller, during the mini fur boom of 2011 to 2014, Stu Miller said he was paying for his gas with granders during the mini boom, interesting, um, granders for gas, next question, who on the mini to crew, yeah, just try flat sets, great, but last the longest on the show alone, guys have any thoughts

about this, whoever's not married, that makes sense, oh, you think you think marriage would be the biggest hurdle, dude, if I was doing that, I'd have the time my life, but my wife would be pissed, yeah, how are you supposed to explain that, hmm, uh, what else you got there Phil, uh, there's another trapping question, oh, from T Woods, what's

“the number one bet you've used for trapping raccoons, was it talking about cooncoffs?”

Yeah, I, you know, I doubt we're going to get any clarification, Brody's off, they're flipping this off through the window, can I guess what you're ante'll be, uh, sardines, man, like in pocket sets, in pocket sets with, with lure, any kind of, like, any kind of fish, with in pocket sets, lures, I used a lot of smell, huh, that's the, I don't know, just whatever cooncoffs, that's a whole different story, if I go one bait, give him an antithel for number

one bait, depends, can't give him next question, those questions have been coming in almost every week, but I don't think Steve's been here for one, uh, it's that time of the year, I think people are excited, it's just from Dallas, Tines, lines, now that it is tag application season, what tags you hoping for and what tags are you confident in getting, hmm, I don't, I'm not reaching for any big tags this year, the one thing, um, I am trying to do, I

want to hunt Kansas rifle season in December, um, but to do that, I need to get a permission and I've sent out 22 letters so far, I thought it would take me 20 letters to get one yes, um, of those 22 letters, I'm at zero permissions right now, um, and their tag deadline is in late April, so I'm trying to secure a permission before late April, uh, that's more about, less about the tag application, I know I will draw because I have the

points, uh, but I just don't have the spot to hunt yet, so that's, that's like the big thing I'm working towards right now, are you going to have to do a cannonball run door knocking trip? Um, I don't know if I got that drive in me just for this year, I'll figure out something else and then I'd like, you know, okay, 20 27 now is what I'm going to do it. And you don't want like a permission from like someone that you're, the, the, the people

you know, no, you have a permission for me. I'm just, I'm just asked. Yes, I, it's, if Steve has, so part of the thing is you like to get it. Oh, that mean, that's, it's like, it gives me butterflies in my stomach. If I get a permission, it's like S satisfied. You don't

I'll, I'll take a hand, give in permission. Yeah. I feel like I've earned it. Now, I've sent out my 22 letters. I scouted these landowners. I, I creeped their Facebook, I'm like, oh, they don't haunt. Um, their grandchildren don't haunt. I can, I can secure permission to, you kind of spy. So if you, I want these letters from Spencer, you're having very comfortable return. Send, right there. It's even weirder than for you. It's also a compliment

“because I think you got big giant white tail bucks on your property. The other thing is though,”

I don't target, it's very easy to get sucked in and be like, okay, this is a 10 out of 10 place. That's where I want to hunt. I'm not looking for 10 out of 10. I like to look for like a seven out of 10. You don't want to send out. Steve, I will take a 10 out of 10, but I can't target. I would be wasting my time by writing a letter to someone who has a 10 out of 10 property, because someone already hunts there. A seven out of 10, though, I think I can sneak into.

Hmm. I understand. So I'm done. Oh, I believe. Well, we can answer a few more questions.

Well, Steve, do you have any, do you have any tags you're helping for this year? Always.

Just doesn't want to share. No, I'm not sure. Always. That's fair. You're going to share?

“Oh, Phil, do you have any other Steve specific questions to get to you?”

No, none of them have flagged flag right now. There's a question about Steve and Yani if they'll ever sport facial hair. Oh, yes. I think about it now and then. What do you think about it? You know, what would impress people? Is it my lower back? Yeah. I sometimes will grow a hair. I know about this is my wife will grab them and show them to me. Oh, I'll sometimes grow a hair longer than my middle finger. Oh, God. Out of my lower back, where he'll be all alone. What do you make

of that? Well, it's a tree. You know, it's like a tree that doesn't have any competition for many other trees. Yeah, I call it like my ass neck. It's like, and you know, it's funny. You know, like, if you go to, let's say you chunk of plywood laying out your yard and you move it. How the plants under there? Well, they don't look great. But sometimes you'll see one that was kind of growing himself to death, trying to get to the sunlight. Mm-hmm. That's like the hairs on my

ass neck. So, I don't know. Take that for what you will. That's the answer to your question

about facial hair. The ass neck making its first and last appearance on the theater radio line. That's

that's a good diversity to leave. Um, before Steve leaves, I meant to hit this off the top. But I feel like it's fitting that you're here. I'm excited to announce the world that Virgil Edison Morris this morning. Oh, yeah. Baby and other are happy and healthy. Seth says, and I have a text in my phone. I transcribed it here. 7 pounds, 6.5 ounces, 20 inches, like a real good large mouth bass. Okay. Perfect. Most congratulations to the entire Morris

clan. I got more to say on this subject. Yes. I want you to know that I've like, uh, you know, me and Seth caught them. We're working on our video. Our can video. Yeah. So me and Seth caught a remarkable cat. When we took it to the auction, the cat went for a lot of scratch. We had a greed when we caught the cat. I was just in a good mood. And I don't even know what I was saying. Yeah. I said, let's look when we sell that cat because we weren't technically working. We're just

thinking around. I was like, when we sell that cat, we're going to put it into Virgil's little bank account. Mmm. That's the time. The hog now. Yeah. He's got, he's going to go into Harvard plenty of diapers. No, you know this song the night they drove old Dixie down. Oh, yeah. Of course. I was

trying to get Seth to listen to it. He'd never heard of you had because it's about a man named Virgil.

“Virgil Kane is my name. That's right. In the Grandville train. Love that song. Can I read something?”

Please. I'm going to share with you guys one of my favorite quotes. Please. This is dedicated to I sent it to Seth this morning to him in his wife to say, now you'll finally understand the quote. Are you ready? Mm-hmm. In describing seeing his children newly born, he wrote, far from being young as young as a human being can be. They seemed immensely old. Their foreheads and features streamlined by time as archaic and smooth as the heads of

Pharaohs and Egyptian sculpture as if they had traveled and he meant distance to find their parents.

That little baby comes out. He seems like a crazy little alien.

“And then I'll suddenly like, oh, it's a little baby. There's there's new lives.”

There's new life on the outside world in here, only death. Yeah. When you first see that baby, your first thought. It's terrible. Yeah. Your first thought is, oh. And then a couple of minutes later like, oh, yeah. These are cute. Little baby Virgil. I'm looking forward to meeting this this nice young man radio as Spencer likes. Yeah. Well, I had the subtle. I had to level with him and Kelsey this morning overtax and inform him that that baby doesn't look like

either of them. Oh, no one ever tells anybody that. No, except you. Maybe we should. Yeah. You're all right. They say nothing or they say it looks like you or they keep. No one ever goes,

it doesn't look like you. I've never thought babies looked like anybody. I agree.

Because I don't walk around seeing someone like you look like a baby. You know, it's like the inverse. I'm out, right? You're out there. So much. Thank you Steve. Ladies, gentlemen, Steven Rinalo for the very last time on mediator radio live. And this show will continue. Yes, we have just really quickly have a new host shuffling in. I am going to do a stop over for the podcast version of this episode. I'm the video feed will continue. So this will be

you two the exclusive content. I'm going to step out for a couple of minutes and I'll be right back. And we will start our next segment here. Yeah. If you guys just want to make. Yeah, I've been already talking about your day and quick break here. Can you put me on the list since I'm in here? Oh, yes, yes, that list. Oh, really quick. You guys, I wasn't rolling on the podcast version, which is fine as I didn't play the drop. So if you just want to do a quick recap of

everything you did, no, no, no, we should do this. Let's just keep it going. Okay, well, well, for the listeners out there, we're watching. I brought in a micro spike for show and tell that. My son shot. Microsby. Microsby. Microsby. I'm microsby ladies and gentlemen for the very last time on meat eater radio live. It's another show in tell and Brody's got the smallest buck in the world. Spencer, what did you bring for the classroom here? I brought you a replica of the Patterson

Gimlin Bigfoot track in California from 1967. Wow, this, this is the, you know, the most famous footage of a big foot that exists. It's like, you know, imagine that grainy footage of a bolder creek in northern California where the bigfoot kind of looks at the camera and he's got his arms out. He's walking suspiciously like a human like a big foot. Yeah. Anyway, they I have so many questions Patterson Gimlin. They were the two filming it. They went and, you know, found the track afterwards

“from where that bigfoot walked. I think this thing is, it's like 15 inches long, seven inches wide.”

This is one of the absolute dumbest things I've ever purchased. Yeah, I just, how much did the gift shop get, get you? Oh, no, this was off eBay. I'll take it guess what we'll do in early game with the prices right as to what that cost. Who'd you get, you got it from some off eBay? $89 something. No, I'm going to say, I'm going to say $499. $999. It was $40 with $20 shipping. So I paid $60 and I'm very happy I regretted it almost immediately when I hit purchase. But then when I got it in

the mail, I was like, this is wonderful. I'm very glad I have this. It looks great in my office. It's made of gypsum cement. It's about to stick as a deck of cards. Yeah, it sits on my bookshelf and I'm very happy. I have a replica of the world's most famous Bigfoot's track. So that's like not believing in him. A mold of the original mold. That's right. Someone has the original mold out there and then they sold that mold to other people to be able to make, you know, their own replicas and I've just got

one of them. Do you ever bring it down to fishing access sites and stop it through the sand? No,

“but that's that's clever. Now I should do that. What is the equivalent human shoe size?”

Oh, man. I don't think it exists. Again, 15 inches. No, I feel like Shaxford is twice that size. I bet it's quite. Are you going to cross today, Randall? No. No. Okay, one's no. Okay. I was going to have you put that up here. We can do it. Yeah, you got it. You got a size 13. So we'll say this is a size 13. It's not that is up. You know what? Yeah. I'm going to be doing a whole team or an 18. Sorry, you have my shoe

very close to your face. Well, that's fascinating. I always wanted to get like just carve out a wood

some big foot feet like that. And then when I was guiding like run my jet boat up on a beach,

just like after the water comes down there, like a high water event. Just have a fresh beach with

“some big foot tracks on it. And that every year around to it, that'd be in a remote place where you'd”

have to talk yourself into someone doing that to trick you. Yeah. It's like why would anybody spend their time doing this? Yeah. But then again, here we are on our two of Media to Radio Live. Amanda, what do you have for showing talent? Well, I brought a a clavicle from a moose and it's got a hole in it. Yeah, what could that be from? It's from a 180-grain core lock. I was lucky enough to draw a sharpest moose tag. Probably got 12 years ago in Montana with 1.1 point. And that's the entrance or

the exit. That's the entrance. Shot him twice. That one knocked him down as a high shoulder will do. But the cool thing about that is I had a buddy who was, oh my god. Who could that be, Phil? Oh, that was Steve. Oh, okay. No idea what he wants. The,

“yeah, so I had a buddy who's living down in the bitter at the time. And my tag was down there and I was driving”

down to hunt. And I was socking to him and he's like, do you have a shoulder blade? And I said, no, I don't. Oh, for rake and bush. He said, oh, you need it. He's like, get a shoulder blade and rake bushes. So I went by his house and he gave me a shoulder blade like that. And I had it out there smashing stuff. And the, the bull, I killed actually like he before shooting like I could see him out in the field and he and this cow went down. And I was just like heartbroken. I was like shit. I'm not going

to see this thing in. I'm like, well, I do have a call. I guess I could try to see if this stuff works. And I started whack in that shoulder blade on the on the tree next to me and stuff. And the bull came just running in and like lip curled up like bird dog in the ground, just like, and then he paused. I killed him. And I brought that that shoulder blade. I'd brought to call with. I brought that back to my buddy Chris. And I gave it to him. I'm like, here it has worked. And so then when I saw that the

shoulder blade, I had looked like that. It was like this seems like a great trophy to have. Yeah, it was like a memory of that. Because it was really funny. I like traded one shoulder blade for another. So you're just replicating a different bull who's raking his hands. Yeah, sound like just sounds like. Yeah. But um, Steve, Steve was calling to say it's a scapula, not a clavicle. That is. Oh, yeah, that's true. Steven Renella. Sorry. We put that on the news show. Correct.

We'll cut that out of here. Yes, I don't know why I said that. Then things get in a little

“greasy in yellow though. You need to retreat. It is. Yeah. It lives in garages. And you can just slap a nail”

anywhere and stick that little nail through the bullet hole. That's the thing about skulls and bones like after a while they start leaching that oil again. And they get, yeah, kind of, you got to redo them. Yeah. Welcome to meat eaters 12 and 26 presented by multi-mobile and on X maps. 12 of meat eaters biggest and batas hunts from the last year released throughout 2026. These are long form episodes

so you get more of what you love. The first one up is my baited bear hunt in Manitoba. If you've

ever wondered what a baited bear hunt is like, you'll love this episode. My favorite part was watching a younger bear spend an hour trying to figure out how to get a creatively hung beaver carcass down from a tree. Check it out now on meat eaters YouTube channel and be on the lookout for more 12 and 26 in the coming months. Phil, where do we stand? What would you like a few minutes until we can start the segment that you all know is coming? You put me on the list, Phil. Yes, you are

number one. Shall we hit some check it? Yeah, we can see what our good buddy Chester. All right, our next segment is Chetacit. Do I have a chat? Take it away, Chetacit. Oh, I totally have a chat here live. There we go. All right, and then as this customer. Hello, everybody, Chester Floyd coming at you from Wisconsin. I've got a chat with a question before you this week from Justin wrote in. He's

from Minneapolis and he says seven years ago, a very generous friend mentored me and my first home.

Since then, I've hunted white tails each season on this property and in neighbors in West Central

it heartfelt gifts. But I still feel like I can't fully repay their hospitality with several

young kids at home. It's hard to get there more often. How do you keep balance in relationships like that? At worst, I'll make sure their freezers are full when they're no longer hunting as much. Well, Justin, I can relate a little bit and wrote a little song here. To find a time, wanting to give us all is on my mind. Here's to give us both, and thinking to learn a little. Even helped him out with the land and gave a gift. It's a real good plan. You're a godman.

And you're thinking to learn a little. Justin, I picked this one because it's not controversial.

It's good etiquette. And we need guys like you. I bet you you're doing way more than most people

that have permission to hunt properties. And I commend you for that. And I also can relate to because

“I have kids and I think about things probably way too much. See you later, everybody.”

Good old Chester. God, what a good guy. What a good guy. We're Spencer Go. Spencer, I think, went to the bathroom without telling anybody. Phil and I were talking this morning and we thought we shouldn't actually make it a point to announce when we're going to the bathroom. Yeah, you guys are going to have to work out like schedule breaks. If those course lights are going to keep making an appearance at the point. That's a good point.

Phil, what what you know what I was running yesterday, like in a neighborhood in Boseman, who's beacon of peeing. I was running and a wizard here. Look at this guy. There's these dudes parked at like on the street outside of this this other dudes house. They're like they're working.

“Yeah. Doing some kind of like construction project or something. And like in downtown Boseman,”

dudes like opens his truck door and just starts taking a leak in the street right behind his truck door. That's cool. Yeah. Like you don't see that ever. Yeah. Are we still doing chatting? It was out in the country. I wouldn't think twice, but, you know, no, we kind of moved on from Chettocket. I would just like to acknowledge Chester's beautiful voice. It occurred to me Phil that we should have had Chester play Charlie Puth for our

number of see you again. What have been better? So you guys already answered the Chettocket? Chester did. Chester did. He was wondering how to like in song. How to, you know, tell this person how much it means to him that he likes hunting there. Is that right? No. It's like a, it's like, obviously, it's thank you. How is it? Yeah. If he was thanking this guy well enough and Chett said he was doing more than more than most people. Yeah. That's the perfect question for Chester because he's

probably the most conscientious member of our staff here. If I, you know, obviously, it means a lot to that guy, what he could do is he could send that landowner that video and be like, look how much it means to me. I wrote into a podcast that's canceled to get advice on how, if I'm thanking you enough.

“Yeah. That's how much it's compared for like, see, see what I'm doing. You know what I find”

that's like a good thing, like a good message to deliver to landowners. Just like be real genuine and be like, this is my favorite thing in the world. You're allowing me to do that and that just means so much to me. I say that to all the landowners that I get permission from. And I think that's you know, just a nice thing to hear. Just be real honest. Yeah. That's cool. Phil, what's our timing look like here? Sorry for the, the mystery folks, but we have a very special surprise that Phil's

coordinating and that explains some of the, yeah. That's why I'm sure to play a game card. Yeah, we can't remember. What was Corey doing out there? I don't know what he was doing. I think he was delivering food. I'll say one more thing back to the Chetticot. Today's Chester's last day at Medeter. He told me I was, I was allowed to tell that to our audience. Yeah. This is more like a

technicality. Oh, he's still part of Medeter. He's still part of Medeter. Yeah, it'll always be a

Medeter. I'm going to pour one out here for Chester. Can you see. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's just right on the

Chattout Chester. Can't I pour it to get real hot in here? Oh, yeah. Thank you. I almost put on a hoodie this

“morning. It's like no, it's got to be a t-shirt. No, no, t-shirt day for sure. Uh, Phil, what do you think?”

Uh, we can answer some listener feedback while we wait a little. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. This is from Dan B. Pooper. Uh, he's question is, what was your most scenic poop? Wow. Do you have any that's stand out? Hmm. I've seen it. You know, sorry. Go on. On the Pacific coast. I was camping on the ocean on on Washington coastline. No bathroom for for many, many miles. I had just gotten there and set up my tent and had to do that right there. So that was a very scenic spot. Yeah, I immediately what came to mind was

there's a backcountry campsite in Glacier National Park that has the designated bathroom area

and that thing just looks out. Is it like it's like an outhouse kind of thing? Yeah, without the

house part. Right. Um, there's the whole. Yeah. But then I thought when I was, when I was working up in Alaska, our outhouse just looked out at the river. And so whenever I was the only person staying in camp, which was more than you'd think, I would just leave the door open all the time. And you just sit there and watch the river go by. Yeah. Yeah, I'd have to say, uh, any of my like Alaska moves, carabou experiences like sitting on a ridge top and dropping a doose. Yeah. And cut your kind of

like, you know, looking over your shoulder for grizzly at the same time. I mean, any, any BM where you don't have cell service. And you can just truly be in the moment. Yeah. You know, yeah. Sam's so

old. Um, he has talked about making a coffee table book called like the prettiest places I've

pooped, um, which would just be a POV picture that's taken, you know, with the camera facing away from him. Yeah. And the pretty nice and kneecaps and then he's foreground. Then he's done a number two.

“Well, we were talking about bathroom breaks earlier. It made me think I think they used code”

names for that on the sets of movies and TV. Like they'll call like I think at 10 one is they're going. They're just you're dating. 10 two as well. You can put that together. And since we're on the subject, let's just get all of these out of the way right now. Samson Brown also great, uh, apt name with suffering violent diarrhea from a crunch wrap Supreme count as a woodsy death if I were in a tree stand. Yeah, sure. I mean, if getting Taco Bell induced diarrhea,

the count is a death thing. Yeah. I mean, I was cat. I'm like 10 cats. There, there'd be a lot of cats. I mean, 900 lives. If you were found at the face of your tree stand on the ground covered in your own experiment. Yeah. Yeah. I think I think Steve, we'd have to twist his arm. But he would put up one of those tombstones there. Yeah. Samson Brown almost died here. Um, um, violent diarrhea. I did have a comment on Steve's thing like the memorials. Yeah. He would also it could it would have to

be more than, um, like headstones. You'd have to develop a buoy. Yeah. For near deaths on the water. That's good. What else we got here, Phil? Uh, Fusatoll says no question. Just thank you all for the great material. Really going to miss this show. I don't think that's a soft sea fill. I don't think that's a soft sea, at all. But that's nice. THUC. He's alive. Samson, just say it. Well, it's someone's name. So I can't get in trouble for saying fuck it all. There you go.

713. Thank you for watching. This is from the Grizzly Guide question for Spencer. I'm doing my yearly trout slash camping road trip with the family this summer this year. We're doing Utah. What areas should we hit? No, a lot to find fossils. Utah is really great because it has a lot of

“BLM land and BLM land is important because they have probably the loosiest restrictions when it”

comes to what you can collect. And the general rule is that it just, it can be anything that's not from a vertebrae. So you could collect like petrified wood. That means you could collect plant fossils. Uh, you could collect an insect fossil. There's a really cool spot I've been to in the western part of the state where you can, uh, you pay a small fee to go into someone's quarry to dig for trial bites. It was called you dig. Um, so if you go there and you go do the you dig,

uh, your guaranteed to go home with some treats. That area is also surrounded by BLM that you can go and find all kinds of other gemstones on. Uh, the the best advice on this is just like whatever part of Utah you're going to be and they'll go to YouTube or Google and type in Southern Utah rock counting. Can I, they're not going to meet a whole lot of trout, England, down in Southern Utah.

flaming gorgeous more has like from there all the way to the Colorado border. There's plenty of BLM

“land like yeah Spencer was saying and very good trout fishing. Yeah. That's, uh, in that green river”

area, there are a few spots where you can go find leaf fossils. Um, so if you type in leaf fossil hunting Utah, uh, you get some pointers there. But it's, it's a great state, uh, you know, one of the, one of the best ones to be a rock hound. Cool. There've been some comments about the drops. I said on a previous episode, I will string them all together at some point in the near future and just drop them on the, uh, drop them on the, the meteor TV subreddit. And I see here

that there's a lot of folks who, um, took the fence to my use of the term,

clavicle rather than the appropriate term of scapula. I apologize. I know better.

And if we were doing more episodes of this show, I would not make that same mistake again. I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of. Yeah. Thank you. Overblown. Thank you.

“Steve is watching, though. I know it's a good idea to turn this on. Did you guys still make”

this time? It's great. So let's keep up the quality content here after that from, uh, Spencer Randall's a burrito, a hot dog or a hot dog, a burrito. They're both sandwiches. Yes. Thank you. Glad we clarify that. That's just good podcasting. That's great podcasting. We had someone say, uh, who's better, LeBron Jordan or Durkin? Shout out to Pat. Well, Durkin's not going to have a chance to add to his ring collection here. So Durkin's going to have to live with three rings. He's retiring

on top. Yeah. Yeah. And he also can't go for the longevity, like the all-time leading score or anything like that. Yeah. Pat Durkin number one. Brody has a surprisingly he gets fired up if, uh, if if Randall and I were saying that LeBron is better than Jordan, uh, Brody doesn't think so. It's me and and most of the world. Yeah. Come on. There we go. That's exactly what I mean. Jordan. It's not even. I thought about wearing my LeBron three team jersey. Look, man for this event.

Like it was just a different game in Jordan's era. Man, they used to beat the shit out of each other. And now they're just bunch of like wimps. They can't like hit each other. It's a different game. Different game. D Wade says what new guns has Randall purchased recently for his collection. Wow. That's a great question. Um, you know, to be honest, I haven't, I haven't been acquiring as much of late, um, probably the most exciting new thing in my world is, uh, last year I did a

full conversion of an HK USC to a UMP, uh, which is a, basically retroactively creating a, uh,

uh, German submachine gun semi-auto though. Uh, so I had to learn all about nine, twenty two are compliance because it's a gun that can't be imported. So, um, just a whole new, a whole new rabbit hole of federal firearms regulations. That was fun. Um, and it's fun to shoot. It's very accurate. I've got a can on it. And, uh, it brings me great joy. Uh, the, the old, uh, you know,

“adage, I think from Marie Kondo, if it doesn't bring you joy, get rid of it. Like,”

uh, bury me with the UMP. Okay. It has, it has no purpose on earth. Uh, but it does make me watch clips from Sicario to feel like I'm going to be able to deal with Del Toro. What else we do in the Brody Henderson hour? Uh, we've got, I mean, we've got meat theater. Okay. Uh, we got 40 clocks. We've got your cameos. Yeah, Corey's, Corey's ready. Uh, when we've got Phil's trivia, uh, I just need to text Corey if we want to hit some meat theater. What do you think,

Phil, the engineer? Well, I think we've got to hold off on meat theater until after the, uh, the segment we're waiting for here. Sure. Uh, should we hit Spencer's cameos? Oh, yeah, sure. You want to, you want to run? Yeah. We've got, we've got some special messages from across the meat theater universe, folks who wanted to chime in and, and, uh, wish us well and congratulations on the end of this program. Spencer, why do you look so happy, man? You're

just overjoyed, right? That's a good day. All right, let's take a look at this video here. Ooh, the weather outside is for rightful. The fire is so delightful. And since we, oh, hello Phil, Randall, Spencer, good to see you. All of you in it. I'm wondering why we're getting together on such a occasion. It's months away from Christmas. Well, let me take a moment to look up your information on the old center pad here and I'll find out why, why we're together today.

Yeah, let's see, uh, uh, P-H-I-L-N-R-A-N-D-A-L-N-D-S-B-E-N-C-E-R, Phil Randall and Spencer.

Well, I am sorry about that. It's never easy when a podcast goes belly up.

Well, let's see, we can dig a little deeper and find some good news here. Oh, let's check out your, your status on the naughty and nice list. That should be good. It's the mental, let's see here. For Phil, oh, um, naughty for pirating music from lime wire in 2006. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, but then again, didn't everybody use the lime wire in 2006, right? Perhaps we're being a little too harsh on you. On that one fill, Randall, here we are.

Oh, oh, not, uh, also on the naughty list for not giving 39 cents to charity at Taco Bell.

“Oh, if I remember correctly, 39 cents used to get you a bean burrito at the bell.”

Ask me, it should be there on the naughty list. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, in last but not least, let's see here.

It is Spencer. Oh, oh, oh, oh, this is good Spencer on the, nice list. Oh, of course. Depending on the service dog, even though you wanted to. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, the service dogs need love too. Well, it's, it's my best to all three of you. I hope that you can do something creative in the future and keep it on the nice list. All right. We can explain what's going on there. We, we got approval from the meat eater suits. I really had to beg them if we could each get $100 to use on cameo for our finale. So

me Randall and Phil, each got $100 to spend to get somebody to wish us well on our next endeavor.

“And that was my cameo from Santa Claus. Well, that's great. And how much was that one? That was that was that was my budget.”

That was a hundred dollars. Yeah, what it was. He went three minutes long. That was, I mean,

bang for your buck for a second. Yeah, I feel like that's kind of a bargain. That's a serious

Santa. Yeah. Oh, and that Santa, like I, I write the prompts for him, but he started free styling when he went, you know, I, the 39 cents used to get you a bean burrito at that. That should be improv. That was improv. Yeah, that's the review for Santa. That's great. Yeah, that's great. By Santa. So we'll have cameo's later on from Randall and Phil. Yeah, as well. Yeah. This is from Leewind. When can can we expect the perfect Venice and hot dog recipe? Oh, hmm. What's a great question.

“There's a lot of question marks, things are up in the air about how we tackle that challenge.”

I will just suggest that one of them potentially involves intercontinental travel. And so we're working on scheduling and budgets for that. So we have potentially access to world class, uh, a falsifying technology. We do have one Venice and hot dog recipe on the websites from Wade Trong. It's a Venice and Red Snapper hot dog, uh, which is famous what in like Maryland? Is that where the main? Main, okay. Yeah, northeastern somewhere in the north east.

Uh, so you can go try the the Venice and Red Snapper recipe, Wade, or excuse me, Leewind. Phil, what else we got here? We got nothing. Uh, what about the shoutout you have or a letter? Oh, those things? Yeah. Yeah. Let's, let's, um, we got an email. I've got a couple of emails here that I wanted to share, uh, one. This is a letter we received from Troy Edwards. Troy writes, "Hi, everyone. I'm Troy.

I'm 13 and I live in Kodiak, Alaska, which is bad ass. That's my own commentary. He didn't anything." This is my mom's email address. She did give me permission to send this email. I'm hoping to send a shoutout to my dad Graham Edwards. He has listened to all the meteor podcasts since the beginning, but he is currently on his way out of town to go muskocks hunting on Nunavak Island. I know he will be listening. I'm sorry. I can't it log in live to the Grand

finale, but I'm in seventh grade and I have school. That's a great reason, Troy. We appreciate your support and your, uh, your sensibilities about your own education. Will you please give a shoutout to my dad. I would really appreciate it. Troy Edwards, consider your quest granted shoutout to Graham Edwards. Good luck on your muskocks hunt. And Troy Edwards, uh, I will note he, um, class president,

middle school. He's got it all. So, uh, that was just the brief bio I got, but shoutout Troy,

love the email and had to, uh, had to speak to Troy's request there. If he was a Durkin grandchild, he wouldn't have to be in school today. I know. I, I thought that there was some irony in that. And then, I've got another, uh, I've got another message here. This was one that's been, uh,

“I think, awaited by all of the loyal mediator radio live followers. This is from our friend,”

mogor. And I will read mogor's message in full as follows. Hi, folks. My goodness. Where does one even begin? Today's show fills me with a swirl of bitter, sweet emotions. I know it will be spectacular of that. I have no doubt. And yet it is the final chapter. But let's set that aside for a moment. Greetings to everyone. My name is mogor Petter, or simply mogor, as you know me,

still writing from Hungary from the town of Papa, just as always. By now, you could probably

recite that in your sleep. I should start by saying the team kindly invited me to appear on today's broadcast as a live guest, but I politely declined. I get stage fright. And I would only end up anxious and stumbling over my words instead of savoring. I can hardly believe I'm saying this last radio live. But Jake, the producer and Randall were gracious enough to read this farewell message on my behalf for that. I'm truly grateful. Mogor, thanks to you. Every Thursday, I waited

eagerly for 7pm local time when I could sit down and watch radio live. When this whole journey began, I never imagined I'd be able to catch every episode, but my girlfriend and I always made sure Thursday evenings remain sacred. Radio live time. And thank you to her as well. She's watching along with me right now. Mogor, I'll admit when I read this email, I thought to myself, tonight might be a very, very late night for you, unless you plan on dropping out partway through.

I've cherished so many moments. The old hunting stories told through vintage photos, Randall reading the review of a film I passionately recommended. Sorry Randall. Spencer's tactical breakdown, I had to drink his favorite beer. Brody burying his face in his hands the moment he heard my name. Winning a book and Cory helping ensure Hungarian customs wouldn't give me trouble. Your surprise appearances in the chat when you weren't even in the studio and of course,

Phil's extraordinary work. He poured his heart and soul into the show. He's brilliant. Take good care of him. Getting to know you more deeply has been a joy. This show had a kind of magic that no pre-recorded program could ever replicate. I'm deeply grateful. I've learned so much from all of you and I hope stepping away from the show will make room for something new to grow. Fingers crossed emoji. Wow. And a heartful thank you to my chat friends as well. Your

kind words over the years met the world to me. It touched me every time you thought of me or mentioned me, especially in these last few months. I'm not sure what else I could say. Perhaps nothing more is needed. Let the show roll on. I know you'll give it everything you've

got just as you always have. Thank you for everything warmest regards, Mogor.

“Shout out to Mogor. That's very nice. Very nice. Yeah. You know, it's obvious. I think there's”

probably a lot of other folks that have been equally as devoted and they're listening, but it stands out when someone is on the other side of the world and listening to each and every episode. I understand why it didn't want to appear. It's not his thing. But man, it'd be nice to be able to put a face to the name. Yeah. Because Mogor, you're like, you know, when you think Mogor, big old Viking, something like that. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. He could be, I mean, I sent us a picture

of like, I sort of liked the mystery. Yeah. That's fun. But it's like, goodbye. I want to see the guy. Yeah. The movie he recommended was hundreds of beavers, right? Yes. Well, Randall's best movie club he's ever done. Yeah. And I think that was the, I think that was probably the highlight that that might be what killed movie club because it couldn't get any better after the

“Benigan's bed. I think it felt pretty uninspired. We did it all. Um, yeah. So thank you, Mogor,”

and thanks to everyone else who's who's tuned in over the course of this show's existence. Phil, tell me what to do. Let's just, um, we can do Phil trivia. We do an office tour. Let's go ahead and let's let's knock out Phil trivia. Let's do Phil trivia. What tell me when you're ready and I'll read it. Okay. Go ahead and read a Randall. Our next segment is Phil's trivia.

He'll ask us three trivia questions to find out just how little we know about pop culture. Take it away, Phil. Uh, that copy is relatively inaccurate because I actually have 20 questions. I've only got an hour on the show. This is madness. Yeah, you have a hard out at one? No. Okay. That's great. I wasn't planning on leaving. These are all kind of rapid fire questions, those. The idea is to get through them relatively quickly here.

“Our way, buddy. This is called Phil trivia or four three two one. What does that mean?”

Be sort of self-explanatory once I start the show. But these are going to be kind of rapid fire questions when you have your answers. Just let me know and we'll move on to the next question after we. So wait, how do you decide who's been in a losing? Oh, I'm keeping. I'm keeping score here. Good. Good.

Okay, so no, just like chit chat in for five minutes about. Oh, absolutely not first question.

Or four. That's the first round. It's called four. John. Paul. Ringo. Blank. Ooh. Got it. You know it? Oh, God. What's his name? That's the question. I know. Five. Last name. Four. Three. Two. One. Reveal your answers.

Randall says George. Spencer says Peter. Brody says Phil Harrison. That's a point for Randall. The correct answer was indeed George.

“And ever had that real bad pop song in the 80s? Remember that? Well, I don't remember the 80s.”

Phil's got to know. Nope. Have no idea of the pop song. Which I was there for you. That's a great first question. Next question. Leonardo, Raphael, Michael Angelo. Blank. Mm. Got it. Mm. This is a sick game, Phil. Oh. Now I get it. Five, four, three, two, one. Reveal your answers. Randall says Donatello. Spencer says Peter. And Brody without an answer. Another point for Randall. There, the correct answer is indeed.

Donatello. Those are the teenage mutant injuries. Which one is Donatello?

Donatello. Donatello is the powerful one with the bow staff. Correct. Randall knows.

Phil, is there one that's more preferred than the others in one who's like the ring low? Leonardo is in the blue. He's kind of the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the facto leader, uh, Raph's kind of the tough. Mikey is the, uh, the funny guy. And Donatello's the tech guy. Okay. Tech, tech, or gadgets or, you know, who do, who do you feel like? I'm, I'm a Mikey fan. Okay. But Donatello's charming as well. Next question, since it's getting tougher now.

Yeah. Because those first two weren't hard enough. Peter, Ray, Winston. Got it. Oh, I have no idea what we're going for here. Peter, Ray, Winston. I got no clue. Oh, Randall's going to, yeah. In this game, this is where he's again, Phil. Thanks. Five, four, three, two, one. See your answers. Randall says Egon, Spencer, that an answer, Brodo, that an answer. The Chris Spencer is indeed Egon Spangler. Those are the Ghost Passers.

Oh, yeah. Next question. Michael, Lindsey, Job, and Blank.

“Wow. Jake, the producer, shaking his head. He knows this one. Oh, what, what, what?”

This is going to ruin Randall's perfect game. Five, four, three, two, one. Or, please reveal your answers. Randall says, "We'll our net." Spencer, I'm Brodo without answers. "We'll our net" is the actor who plays Job, but I was looking for buster blue. Oh, rest of the world. Played by Tony Hale. Those are the four main siblings from a rest of the development.

Phil, did you like the reboot of that? I had its moments. That's some of it was really clever,

but it didn't have that magic from the first. Are you a scrub's fan, Phil? No, but I know that that

revival just happened. Okay. That's open to get your opinion on that. Next question. Turtle, Vinny, E, and Blank. Oh, I know the show. That's it, though. Got it. Please reveal your answers. Is this right? Oh, you're so close. Randall says, "Donny, Donny, Donny, Spencer and Brodo have answers." What I say. The correct answer is Johnny, Drombo, John. Those are the, it's the fourth one from the HBO show, on Taraz, which I, for some reason, watched six seasons of and I wish I could get my time back.

Did you like the movie? I didn't see the movie. Phil, you didn't strike me as, uh,

three. Mm. A little bit different this time. I think I see where it's going, though. Scary spice.

“Ginger spice. Tiny spice. One of these things does not belong. Oh.”

Got it. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says, "Tiny, Spencer says, "Tiny, Brodo." He says, "Scary." The correct answer is "Tiny" because, uh, that is not a spice girl. Yeah. Baby spice. Oh. Who are the other spice girl? Oh, he's brought spice. Sporty. Hmm. Ginger. Yeah. Ginger. Those all of them. Baby. Oh, it's more of a bewitched guy. Wow, bewitched. Next question. Jaco. I'm not going to go up my board anymore. Or dot.

Just gonna put my feed up for a while, Phil. We are the Jaco. Smaco. Or dot. One of these things does not belong to you. I have to reveal your answers. Uh, yes, Randall and Brodo say, smack go alone in their sacks. They have ballooning in their sacks. Well, smack go is not a member of the anime in the axe. That would be wacko.

“Ugh. Can you sing a song for the anime in the anime? In the anime in the anime in the axe?”

We have ballooning in the axe. I don't know how to remember the lyrics. Oh. I'm watching the song. I'm watching the viewer count closely. It's not dropping yet. I know. You guys are doing great. You're the only audience. Oh, I think it's you, man. Oh, oh. These are Call of Duty entries. We have infinite warfare extraction or black ops 7. Wow. One of these things is not an entry in the Call of Duty video game franchise.

What was your error, Phil? Did you play? Oh, I saw your playing. I was there on for Call of Duty 1, followed it through modern warfare and a little bit into black ops, but then I fell off hard. I don't play Call of Duty. Well, go ahead and reveal your answers. Uh, Spencer says black ops 7, Brodo says black ops 7 Randall says extraction extraction. The correct answer is extraction. That is no. A Call of Duty game. I can't believe they have seven of them. I know neither can I. Next question.

Steven Spielberg films. Your choices are flight of the navigator. 1941 or the Sugarland Express. One of these is not a Steven Spielberg film. Hmm. Got it. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says 1941. Spencer says 1941. Birdie says Sugarland. That is a 0% or one. It is a Spielberg film. It is. Blender. It was not a Steven Spielberg movie. That was one of those like E.T. kind of ripoffs that happened after E.T. came out like there was a

Mac and me was one of them and this was when we were a kid gets uh, uh, Stos away on a spaceship. I was thinking of 1970. It was not directed by Steven Spielberg. Mac and me is at the one that Paul

Rod is obsessed with. Yeah, he always plays the clip on Conan. Yeah. Yeah. That's good one.

Uh, next hook starting Pokemon both of the store. Charmander or shell soak. Fill if you played with you until you got to this question. The reboot of the fire red. Oh, I got leaf green and I got leaf green. Okay. Yes. How's that going? I'm enjoying it. It's a big big go ahead and nostalgia. Okay. You tell us after this who you picked is your story. Sure thing. Go ahead. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says shell soak. Spencer says shell soak.

Rodie says both of the store. The correct answer is shell soak. That is not the name of that water is Pokemon. It is squirtle. A squirting turtle. Wow. And fill who did you start.

Uh, I, I usually pick squirrel, but this time around I picked Charmander because I never did when I was a kid.

Oh, okay. Uh, next up for halfway through. Wow. You guys doing good. Yeah. Okay. Right. This round is titled two and it is Academy Award themed since the Oscars are coming up here in the next couple of weeks. Wish best picture winner has the longer run time. Lawrence of Arabia or Titanic. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says Titanic. Spencer says Lawrence of Arabia. Brody says Lawrence of Arabia. Spencer and Brody get that. The correct answer is David of Arabia.

“Which is 222 minutes long. Titanic is at 194. Next question. Which actor has never won an Academy Award?”

We have part-time Boseman local Glenn Close or George Clooney. Which actor has surprisingly

never won an Oscar? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Brody says Glenn Close. Spencer. Everyone says

Glenn Close. Everyone is correct. She has never won an Oscar. She came. She's come close many times. And who knows. Did you deliberately make both of those G.C. initials? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

2025 has received the most Academy Award nominations this year? We have one battle after another.

Or sinners. Was tough, Phil. I mean, just the whole Oscars round. Yeah, I know it is, right?

“That's what it's filled trivia. There's so much Oscars filled trivia. It's so hard to reveal your answer.”

Everyone says sinners. Everyone's correct. sinners just set the record for most Academy Award nominations ever with 16. Have you seen it, Phil? I have. Oh, like it. I enjoyed it immensely. Yeah. It was totally way different than I was expecting and I loved it. As little underwhelmed with one battle after another. I'll tell you. Oh, I liked it a lot too. I liked it, but I was underwhelmed. Okay. I'd like that both Phil and Brody like sinners.

Now I'm confident too. Yeah. It's you'll have a good time. Totally. How's the show going after

another would have been way better if it was just about Benicio del Toro's character? He rules in that movie. Which of these best picture nominees contains the most uses of the effort? We have the wolf of Wall Street from 2013 or Aurora, which won best pictures to a couple years ago. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says Wolf of Wall Street Spencer says, "Anora Brody says Wolf, the correct answer is the wolf that you're trying to trick us." Of Wall Street.

I do have some stats here because it's got a lot of standard in it. Wolf of Wall Street says the F contains the effort 569 times at a pace of 3.16 times per minute. That's good.

Aurora contains fewer uses of the word at 479, but at a quicker pace at 3.45 times per minute

because it has a shorter file. Over 300,000 blank rounds are fired in the making of which of these action films. Predator or Starship Troopers. This has nothing to do with Oscars. I don't think either of these movies were not. Predator might have been nominated for a... Oh, Predator is in production line or the movie. So Starship Troopers. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says Starship Troopers. Spencer says Predator. Brody says Predator. The correct answer is Starship Troopers.

Think about how many rounds each of the actors and Predator would have had to fire.

“I know, but I think about the two different types of movies and whether Starship”

like if they were even using actual guns in that movie. Yeah, and the mini gun and that was a mini gun and Predator spit out a lot. Okay, this is the final round. Well good. I wrote these in a case last night and then I got a better idea for something to do with this morning and then I didn't have time. So you get the... The bad one. The bad one. Here we go. This round is titled one. The best part of waking up is... Oh, man. Now you're talking, Phil.

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Everyone says folders in your cup. Everyone gets a correct answer. I can think about as the weird commercial where the guy is sort of romantic with his sister. Yeah, what about the signfeld episode? Crystal. Brody, you seem like you drink folders. When you are here, I seem like I'm a daily folders user or something. Question two. No, Costco, you are here. Costco, coffee.

When you're here, you're... Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says your home. Spencer says your family. Brody says your family. That's a point for Spencer and Randall and her Spencer and Brody is. When you're here, your family, of course, that's all of Garden,

“which we've had a mystery delivery from this morning here at HQ. I think that's lunch for all the”

people watching upstairs. Okay, next question. We're almost done, guys. Thanks for holding on. There are some things money can't buy. Perfecting else. Oh, that's great. Yeah, it's such a responsible message in it right here. Right? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says there's Mastercard. Spencer says there's Mastercard. Everyone says there's Mastercard and it is indeed there's Mastercard. Is this the last one here? It's good Phil's trivia. No, two more. Can you hear me now?

Where's something comes after that? Brody, can you hear me now? I thought that was it. I thought that's all it was. Randall's Randall says good. Spencer says good. I almost felt key here. Here we have five times. Brody without an answer. It is indeed good that is the old Verizon genuine. This is the last one. You're linked to the you're linked to the dot dot dot. Hmm. You know this one Randall? I think so. You're going to have

you. Yeah, I've heard it once. Don't know. Okay, go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says on door Spencer says multiverse. Brody without an answer. The correct answer is food chain and that

“is the tagline for meteorite. I thought that's what it was. That's what I said out there. Thank”

you for that. I believe only by a couple of points is Randall Willie. This company may want to look at their motto. We've got to make some more. It's not very sticky. It's like it's good on it's good some people on that. Last fun, Phil. Thanks for putting that together. I know that's a lot of work and I appreciate that you took the time to do that in a very busy week. It was it was my pleasure. It wasn't a fish highest city in D game. Maybe some people appreciated that about it.

But yeah, that's the plan to worry you join us yet. Yeah, Jake, would you mind poking out around

the corner? Because I was going to go first, but now I'm thinking I either it might not happen

for me or I'll go last. So why don't you if they're if they're rolling, then we can start doing

“other stuff. Is there anything you want to do with Brody before he takes off here? I thought”

that out? Yeah. Heck yeah. You want to set that up, Randall? I will. Let me just text. Let me text Corey. We've got we we also have hot tip offs. We can run in the meantime until Corey joins us. Oh, we can do that. Okay. We've got hot tip off number two of six happening next. While Yani watches us from the green room. What's the eating? All of garden. When you're here, you're meeting. I thought Corey wanted her out with some like corn dogs or something. I'm getting hungry.

They might be a surprise. I saw that too. Hey, it's Yani's to tell us right in the way. Yeah, we're running long. I'll text you. Thank you. I came in. All right. Our next segment is hot tip off. Uh, I'm not going to play the drop unless you want me to. No, go ahead. Just. That's all. Yeah. We haven't eaten them yet, though. Uh, the 1000 plus people who have been tuned in for the last few hours. Oh, my goodness. Thank you so much for watching this show. We really

appreciate you. Sorry for the mess it's turning into the the show normally isn't. Doesn't go this far off the rails, but it comes close. How's it going, Jake? It's going. He. Nothing has

started and you are still first. Oh, can you tell them that someone else can go first? Oh, okay.

Sorry. Thank you so much. If they're waiting for me. Yeah, tell someone else. Just didn't setting up. Okay. Someone else. We'll get them corn dogs. Unless, unless, because we can't do meet theater without me, right? Brody will be there in like 10 or 15 minutes. Yeah, don't worry about it. Someone go ahead of me. Just slide, slide. Play the hot tip off spill. Yeah, fill. All right, our next batch of hot tip loss, we don't know who is providing them

because it's not in the script. So let's take a look. Or bigger internet set. There we go. This is Stephen from Minnesota. Here's a hot tip to get a little bit more meat off your squirrel. So this is the rib cage of a squirrel. Typically, people throw this part away, but my mom taught

“me a trick to get a little bit more meat out of your squirrel. So who does the right cage here?”

And basically what you do is you grab it and then you pop the ribs out like that.

So you could kind of see it popping up right there and then you just pull that down. And once you pull it down far enough, you could start pulling the ribs off a little bit. And once you get those ribs exposed, you just take scissors and you just cut off the bones at the very end. Well, they also cut off this bottom part to you. It's a brittle cartilage stuff that will get stuck in your teeth. That is beautiful. So yeah, there's a little bit more meat off your

squirrel that you otherwise would have thrown away. And to be honest, it's not much meat, but it's more stuff from your harvest and making the most of it. Ryan Seamster! They made you to crew. Ryan Seamster coming at you from Colorado with a hot tip. I heard the other day you guys tell some horror stories about losing some deep freeze that's full of meat and I got

a solution for you. Go to your favorite online retailer. And put 3499 by yourself, one of these. It's made by Aki Wright. It's a freezer monitor. It comes with two probes.

for the temperature and this thing will scream and yell and fuss at you. If it gets outside those limits, it saved my deep freezer two or three different times. Thanks to some bad GFI outlets or your kids leave the door open or whatever. It's worth it, kids. Go buy it. You won't regret it. Appreciate you guys. Oh, and that's clay if you know what a smooth is. If not, take away his Arkansas card. Well, guys, what do you think? A good tip, but I don't think it's like

he's telling us to buy a thing to use it for its intended purpose. Which like, you know,

“that thing would be very helpful. But I'm going to agree with what I think Brody was going to say.”

Steven Yang in the squirrel butcher. Yeah, he's in more meats. Always a good tip.

Would you pass me to the corner dog, please? Corey Calkin is now joining us in the studio and he's brought the most fallic food he could find. Half dozen corn dogs. So here's three bananas. Is the perfect time into a quick podcast stop down and I will remember to hit record the when I turn it back on. So cap me in one second. On cap me. Welcome to meat eaters 12 and 26 presented by multi mobile and on X maps 12 of meat eaters

biggest and baddest hunts from the last year released throughout 2026. These are long form episodes, so you get more of what you love. The first one up is my baited bear hunt in Manitoba. If you've ever wondered what a baited bear hunt is like, you'll love this episode. My favorite

“part was watching a younger bear spend an hour trying to figure out how to get a creatively”

hung beaver carcass down from a tree. Check it out now on meat eaters YouTube channel and be on the lookout for more 12 and 26 in the coming months. Bill how's the chat doing? It's been pretty consistent and about at the exact same ratio as the first batch here and I will do an in the poll. There was 70 for percent of the vote the winner is indeed Steven with the squirrel meat. Congratulations Steven. Now Corey Calkin's has brought us some mountain dew,

Baha blast fill. Can you give us tasting notes on the varieties that we have here? Oh, sure. Well, Baha blast is going to be, you know, the the variety that used to be locked behind the doors of Taco Bell that Pepsi has since opened the floodgates. If you will. You buy Baha blast in stores now. You buy a diet version of no sugar version. They might have like other fruit flavors of it too. Yeah shout out to T and C had seven different options. Oh my god. That's huge.

A chin is awful. Bill, I have a a cobbo citrus here. Tell me about Kai's never tried cobbo citrus.

You're going to fill that to fill. It's Bill's Baha blast. Oh, good. Yeah. I quit drinking soda. When I started drinking beer, but this is a special occasion. Okay. I could choke down a regular mountain dew. There's no way I could finish one of these things here. There's one regular gear. I'm good. I've now swapped Bill with a voltage raspberry. What do you think of voltage raspberry bill? Voltage. Voltage wasn't in the wasn't in my main line up growing up. It was a live wire

original and code red kid code red. It sounds silly to say this mountain dew is too sweet. But code red just kind of had like a medicinal sweetness that I can't get to test. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure. So Baha blast in live wire to kind of came out of my favorites. But voltage is voltage is good. It's a little less punchy than the other flavors.

“Phil, should we should we do our meat theater? Randall, I think we should do meat theater.”

Ooh. Okay. Oh, one second. Let me just collect my thoughts. Is there stuff going on out there? Oh, there's a bunch of stuff going on. Should we announce it? What's happening? Let's do meat theater first. So Brody can skidaddle if he has stuff to do. Well, pop back in. Absolutely. That's great. Now it's time for a fan favorite segment meat theater.

Oh, I love this. I've never gotten to participate in this.

Well, you have a real juicy part. I hate to say it's Spencer, but I didn't write you a part. Oh, no. Meat theater is where we take outstanding hunting literature and feed it into artificial intelligence and ask the computer to generate a short dramatic script to be performed line by untrained actors. And we welcome to the studio Cory Colkan's child actor to the stars. I realized that the term child actor is often used to refer to a child who's an actor, but Cory plays a really convincing child.

Yeah. I'll take that. And this is the reason that I didn't write a part. It's because of a trained actor. This week, we're exploring a true classic of outdoor storytelling. Robert Roach's the old man in the boy. I'll be playing the old man. Cory will be playing the boy and Brody will be playing Pete the dog. We've been given a speaking role by the AI in order to fill out our traditional three-part

speaking parts? Yeah, usually I usually have to add a third person. Yep. So fill whenever you're ready. We don't even get to read the script beforehand. It's just like so far. Yep. We're live. Okay. Is that the move? The old man knows pretty near close to everything. And mostly he ain't painful with it. The thing the boy likes best about the old man is that he's willing to

hit talk about what he knows and he never talks down to a kid. Cory, that's you. When are we going old man? The birds

will be moving soon. Higher, please. When are we going old man? The birds will be moving soon. Are we going? Are we going honey? I smell birds. Oh boy, oh boy. Oh boy. Hold your horses boy. Coiled old punch at time clock. And you settle down there Pete. We'll get there. We're going bird hunting. Sorry, really quick. Cory and birdie. You might excuse me a little bit closer towards my

“handle. It's for camera. You know, we want to make this good. Thank you. You bet. That's what I'm”

talking about. Oh. Brody, that last line is yours. Oh. Bird hunting my favorite. I've been waiting all morning. No, we're going to approach a gentleman and you got to approach a gentleman as a gentleman yourself. That means you too, dog. I'm a gentleman old man. I'm the most gentlemanly dog I know, old man. It's just a bird. Just a bird. Sun, this little Bob White is pure class. Every ounce of him. He don't weigh but five ounces and he's smarter than most men I know. He treat him with their

spectre. You don't hunt him at all. A cubby of quails family. You look after family. How do you look after a bird? Well, you shoot him careful. He don't take too many. You plan him some pee so he's got some to eat. And when you shoot, you shoot one at a time. Nobody can kill the whole damn cubby. I could try. Lord help us. Come on then. Let's see what Pete thinks. They walked out to the pee field with Pete, the pointer. The dog world around crazylock. Then throw

solid tail up, nose forward, one poll lifted. Go. Right here. Don't move. Nobody move. I got him. Oh boy. His birds. Well, look at that. Beautiful. Pete's got him. Damn right. I got him.

“Hold cubby. 20 yards. May 15. Hold still boy. Don't you dare walk heavy. Can I shoot?”

Take my gun. Walk in past Pete general now. Don't make him nervous. The birds will come up

fast. Just pick one. Just one. You got to kill the first bird before you can shoot the second.

That's a rule of thumb. Just one bird boy. Listen to the old man. Just pick one. God damn it. Where did I just where are they? You didn't hit a damn one. Damn. What I tell you. Shot it all of them. The whole flock. Come on, boy. I held that point for five minutes. What I tell you? I missed. I missed them all. No shit. You missed. I could have told you that was coming. Of course you did. You shot it. The whole flock comes sit. But sit. Don't feel too bad.

First time I point to birds. I broke my point. Jayst after them. Got my ass with good that day. I missed a lot of birds in my time. I'll miss more if I shoot at it enough of them. But I learned something you got to learn. You can't kill them all at once. Not even if they're sitting still in the ground. A Bob White is a gentleman boy and gentleman deserve your attention. One at a time. But I wanted to get them all. We all want that kid, but that ain't how it works.

I know, but one don't make it so. That's true birds and darn near everything else. We'll go put up the singles in a bit. They won't be moving yet. Left their set up in the air. Old man. Yeah. Why do you care so much about these birds? I'll tell you something.

I never knew a man that hunted quail. It didn't come out of it. A little plighter.

A sociaton with gentleman can't hurt you. You need all the plightness you can get. Yes, sir. You know what else a dog can teach you about living? A good bird dog won't point rabbits. Oh, he might, but he knows it's wrong. He'll look at you guilty like he stole an apple.

“He knows if a dog's got sense enough to know right from wrong. What's your excuse?”

Yeah, that's right. I saw a rabbit this morning. That one too. But did I chase it? Heck, no. I'm a bird dog. I got standards. I don't. You will. Oh, sorry. That's the dog. You will, though. Old man will teach you. Damn right, you don't. Now, let's go find those

don't shoot at his whole damn family. Finally, let's go to work. They walked out into the field.

“Pete circled and locked up again. The boy approached carefully this time. A single bird flushed.”

Just won this time, right there. Steady now. Yes, hotcakes. You got him. I got him. I got him. I got him. Old man. I got him. Well, how big goddamn you did. Pete fetch. Got him. Nice shot, boy. Soft mouse. See that? The name ruffle is feathers. I'm a gosh dang professional. Look at that. Five ounces of pure class. He's beautiful. Told you, gentlemen bird,

takes a gentleman dog to find a general to find him. Oh boy. He is and you hunted him right as a gentleman. You're learning, boy. You shoot one bird at a time and pretty soon. You're learning live life one day at a time, one problem at a time. Can't kill the whole cub. He can't fix the whole

“world. But you can do what's in front of you and do it right. Is that what you learned?”

That and a lot more. Most of it from birds and dogs and fish animals are honest. They don't lie or cheat or crowd each other for no reason. And they do what they're supposed to do. People could learn from that. We're simple. We point birds. We fetch birds. We don't shoot at the whole flock. Humans make everything complicated. Teach me, Moor. Long as you keep listening, I'll keep talking. Now let's head back. We got enough birds. Don't want to shoot out the covet.

They're family, remember? Oh, I don't remember. Good. I'm hungry. Let's go home. Yeah, I'm really hungry. And so, the boy learned about quail. The more than that, you learned about respect, about patience, about doing things right. One at a time. The old man taught him with birds and

dogs and long walks in the November fields and the boy never forgot. You know, boy,

I had a center pitch once named Lou, dumbest damn dog you ever saw. But loyal. Lou, I heard about her. Pointed stumps. Hell of a dog, though. Hell of a dog. Lights fade and crowd goes nuts. Wow. Amazing. That's good. That's good. Corey, thank you. Right? Always. Just a phenomenal performance. Corey. I saw him press. Spear and energy drinks Mountain Dews. Oh, they're going on. Yeah, we're going here.

It's what me the radio live is. Beers. Those court dogs are going cold. I don't want to hog them, though. Well, you best better. Who got the jalapenos? You come to sit over here.

“I got a jalapeno on earlier. When Randle needs me, is now my. I think this is my done.”

Can we do the speed back? And then I'm done. What do we got? I think we're going to start. We're going to do tattoos. I regret after. Okay. Well, I better go do something then. Right now. You mean now, Phil? Well, so I think someone else is is currently taking up the position, but we. It's hard to run a show and also keep track of what's going on out there at the same time. It looks out there. Hey, Jake, can you not the phone if you can hear me?

Great. Okay. We're going to come to you at about a minute and a half here. Randle, do you want to sit up the next segment? Our next segment is tattoos. I regret. So should I stick around or just go get line? Get out of here. Yeah, can I go here now? Yeah, you can't. Yeah, you can move here. Thank you, Brody. Peace out. I'll be seeing you, Randle. Brody, you can go after Alex. He's in the chair right now.

Ladies, gentlemen, Brody, Henry. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Brody.

What an amazing sound. One of the best. However, for this last episode of BD Radio Live,

we're doing a little twist on the segment. That's right. The segment this week is called tattoos. I won't regret and why is that? Well, let's go live to producer Jake who's in the vestibule across the hall from the podcast studio and see what's going on over there. Where is it? Hey, how's it going over there, guys? You're on Alex. Go and blow. And Alex, who are you sitting down with right there? Baker. That's right. That's our buddy Baker

from Black Street tattoo here in Boseman, Montana. He's doing some flash tattoos for the meat eater crew here at headquarters today. We thought we'd do a little twist on the segment. Anyone who wants

to work at meat eater. That's right. I mean, I don't know. If you knock on the back door, we might

“let you in if there's, if there's time. In meat eater's paying for these tattoos. So that's also where”

our budget went. Yeah. It bugs in the office is getting free inked. Mountain Dew, corn dogs and tattoos. That's right. And Baker, do you want to tell us a little bit about your new shop here in downtown Boseman? Yeah, just hoping to write the middle of Boseman about three weeks to go. It's been going great. It's been super busy, full location. Really cool. Chop. Right on, and people can check out your work. I'd say your Instagram handles are probably

the best place to do that. Baker, Baker, Baker with the extra R on the aim. My other handle is I just want something small for all of my life tattoos. And that black street chat with the tube at the end. Easy to find. Right on. Yeah, I'm down. Thank you. Alex, what do you get done? Let's see it, man. Here, can you show it off? Yeah. Whoa, oh. That's wild. That looks killer. I thought we're doing it. I thought we were doing like real simple stuff. I don't know anything

about tattoos, though. So. Back again. Cool. Right on, we will check in with you guys a few times throughout the rest of the day. Thanks for your time. See you soon. See you next guest. Yeah. And so if you've been wondering why this whole broadcast has been so chaotic and that the past hour has been so just terrible. Why would they wonder that isn't that how every one of this has been especially bad. We were trying to line it up so that Phil would get tattooed live and the timing

just wasn't working out. I'll still try to get in there maybe at the end of the day because Phil's in the cockpit too. Phil's got to fly the plane here. It's tough. We we were going to do a segment that would require not a lot of my attention. And we're still going to get to that segment. Yeah. Right. Well, I don't know if we want to do that now. The office tour. Yeah. Well, whenever whenever you'd like to do it, Phil, we could also do that when we transition to the big group later on.

If you're looking for a different spot. Let's do that. Yeah. So stay tuned. Start the year. You're going to Randall's going to give everyone watching on YouTube live and later a tour of Mediter HQ. So you'll get to see all the arteries and hallways and where we make all the stuff right here. And ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the studio. Yannis Pateles, the Lafini Eagle,

the third co-host of the Mediter Radio Live Grand finale live extravaganza. Yannis have

you been watching along today. I have not. Oh, shit. But he was in the studio to witness.

“Yeah. I did. Yeah. I did have my lunch and here. How would you guess it's going so far?”

Well, the way you described it was 30 seconds ago. You seem to think it's not going. So well, by seeing that you've eaten three corn dogs. Oh, that can't be that bad. That's true. Today's not a bad day. I said, did you guys tell everybody that they fed us a big pasta meal? I didn't we weren't aware of that. Oh, you weren't? No. It was on a slack message yesterday. We've been brought your dog. Oh, I haven't been watching slack. So the company, the company bought us,

it just said yesterday, what did it say? It said pasta. And I was like, oh, that sounds kind of weird. And then as I was walking down the hallway, smelling it, I go, oh, maybe they just got all of garden became or lunch and sure enough on the big on the big screen in our main conference room is meat eater radio live and there's a big old pasta bar set up. So I just weigh over a pasta Alfredo, lasagna, a salad, even had a half one of their breadsticks. Then I come down in here.

Corey's got corn dog. So I had to have a corn dog, which ended up being, I have a problem too much. I have a sugar problem. I got eating a regular meal in my head. My brain is like, what are you

“going to have afterwards? You should have something a little sweet after you know, but that corn dog”

fit the milk for the right one. Oh, there's some sugar in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, can someone throw me a banana, please? Not a corn. I'm going to say corn dog. Well, I haven't eaten any good day. I don't want to drink this coffee. Oh, great. What a catch. Not a great throw by a great catch. Yeah, I played left field after I couldn't play catcher anymore because I got horrible eggs. I'm off from my a dance track. It's a perfect reason for filling. It's a great play in catch.

That's great. Yeah, so anyways, I think it's going, uh, what? Yeah, the first hour, the first hour is

pretty strong, the second hour things are really stressing out. Uh, when the whole spirit of the show is that it's a complete cluster. Yeah. No, it's good. Everyone knows that. I just want to keep, could I pass, could I have another corn dog? Of course. Um, please, so should we move on to our

Phil, why don't we kick off the third hour of our broadcast with a special message from the founder of

madeeater Stephen Renoff. Oh, big supporter of this program. He loves it. Here we go. You know, when I first heard about radio live going off the air, for people that are listening

“out watching the lifting weights, that's why he's grunting. I thought to myself, who knows that.”

So I, uh, had to call my assistant. So who, who the hell are these, uh, radio live guys? Oh, it's those idiots you beat on your pathway to becoming the only human to ever win to meet eater trivia world championships. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, whatever. Thank you Steve, heartwarming. That was great. Wasn't he in here earlier today? He was. Yeah. Yeah. So it's just, I know, the bit doesn't really, it's a little bit of K-fade that's not lining up.

No, he's there right now. He's in this hot. Some people might have tuned in halfway through, though, and they don't realize that. Maybe there's, maybe we've just just run real, it was fun. It was good. I think Steve likes to flex that creative muscle. I like how he said when he heard about it, yeah, which means that he thought it in his brain that we shouldn't do meaty to radio live anymore.

“That was when he heard about it. Our next segment. Wait, what is our next segment?”

meaty to remind you to find out. Well done, Phil. Meaty to menu is when our hosts cook up a wild food dish and share the story of how we gathered the main ingredients and how it was prepared.

Lovely. I can't wait for this. Phil, who's going first here?

Like we have, is that Janice Patelis? Patelis? Poo tell us. Was how you are now sitting in the lab? Yeah. Got too much going on here. There we are. Yep. Wow, that's a mighty dish. Thanks. Tell us about this dish, Janice. Yes. Pretty common dish that we do at my house often, which I would say is like a grilled loin,

where it's usually just salt and pepper. Some wild wild grill it outside on the grill to about 125. Pull it, let it rest for five minutes, slice it up, and then we serve it next to some vegetables and potatoes. And the vegetables and potatoes rotate different versions of those two. But what was different here, and what I want to talk about is that the sauce is, well, I guess the steak with the sauce would be called steak a poof. I don't know if I'm pronouncing that properly, sounds I believe.

Looks kind of creamy. Poof is a pepper in French. So it's like steak of pepper, I guess, is how you would directly translate it. Jarrett Rizley from Chan restaurant here in Boe's been came on a judge. I feel like that's universally bend determined that that's like our best eatery in town. Oh, 100% best now. Well, I'd like if you asked anyone like would what's your favorite spot, and they were going to name three places, and they got every single person if they've been there.

“Might be tough to get a rez yet. Yes. Yeah. And that's why I hesitate to even say how good it is”

because then it's even harder. He's like, yeah, if you want to come eat dinner either four or eight 30 p.m. Because those are the openings that you can get in at anyways. When he was roasting, judging roasts, he said to me, you know, a thing I do a lot of times was while a game, I make steak a poof. I was like, oh, make mental no went home, looked up the recipe, extremely simple. So simple. I can tell you now, by heart, how to make it. It's a good recipe to have

that. Yeah, 100%. You basically take a couple small shallots, shop them up real fine.

You, um, again, again, depending on how you do the meat, if you're going to pants here to the meat or grill the meat, this part might be a little bit different, because a lot of people will, when they put the heavy peppers on the steak, they will sear it in a pan, and then that way when you take those out, you have the fond that built up from the meat searing and you're going to have some of that residual pepper already in there. So you throw your shallots in there,

of a cup of brandy cognac, or if you don't have those two, bourbon works just fine. So I've just been doing it with good old gym beam, and you let that reduce a little bit, let the booze cook off. Then you add roughly, I don't know, maybe a cup of chicken stock, let that reduce by half,

and then basically at the end, you just finish it with a little bit of heavy cream or cream

fresh, if you happen to have that, which we haven't, so we just use regular little heavy cream, but yeah, you end up with a, it's nice because it looks heavy, creamy, it has that flavor, but it's actually very light, because it's mostly just chicken stock, you know, in a little bit a little bit of booze. So very plain, simple sauce, but as we all know, when you're eating a lot of lean veneison, it can be nice to have a little sauce with your, with your essence. So that's the dish.

Now, that was made with that night, we had two loins, thought out, you know, I cut my loins and probably pound in a half, maybe two pound chunks, and he should start measuring a more, it makes sense, because then when you grab, you pack a grab a package of ground, and you're like, oh, it's a pound. I know exactly what I can do with it, and you grab those chunks of loin, and you're like,

“ah, I don't know, is this enough to feed for people? That's why I was just cook more. That's what”

I've started doing. It's always like Jennifer, you have a little pull out too, have a little

Tupperware or steak slices the next day. Exactly, delicious. So I had one, white tail backstrap, one, mule deer backstrap, they're both Montana animals, my oldest killed the mule deer on the Utah last year, which was a great moment as a dad. We spotted the deer kind of together late in the day. While we were sitting on another deer, waiting for it to stand up with the youngest daughter, and my, and so I said, well, I can't go with you after it, so I'm going to stay here with,

with Mabel, and so I said, well, no big deal. I'll just go up there and hunt it myself, and she took off all in her own, and a little while later, it was getting kind of dark. I'm waiting for her to come back

down the hill, and instead, I hear, and she killed her first deer by herself. That's great. Yeah,

it's really cool. Beautiful meal. The, the white tail one was my youngest, because we didn't, she didn't kill a mule deer on the youth hunt, and so we made several attempts at trying to

“kill a buck on a private ranch, so we got access to, and I think on the second hunt out there,”

yeah, we got lucky and had a nice one, one by. That was the one with the crazy, Paul made it. Oh, yeah. Browtimes. What else is on the menu this week now? Oh, boy, I have some bare thought out that I don't have a plan for, and I need to make a plan very soon, because I think it's been thought out for close to a week in the fridge, and so it's getting to that point where, yeah, I could lose it if I don't, if I don't get her done. What else did we make? The other night we had, we do this

often enough to say often, breakfast for dinner, which is usually biscuits and gravy, and I love making some biscuits, my kids love the biscuits, and I feel like I've, I don't mean to interrupt you guys, but it's kind of important. We have a certain person getting their first tattoo. Oh boy, yeah, what could that be? Let's cut through that feed here. I don't even know. Wow. You're on. Oh Browtimes. Get in, get there, get there. They're six, seven,

maybe I'd say. Is that the tattoo you're getting? Is it six, seven? No, it's talking about biscuits. What kind of tattoo are you getting, Brody? Well, I'll I'll show you in a little while, so I'll tell you about it. Brody is a prize alone. I just want to do it. That's great. Yeah. Or she's killing this hurt. I love that. Good for Brody. He's young at heart. Oh, that's, I didn't know Brody was going to get his first tattoo today. That's awesome.

Bill put out a casting call looking for volunteers to get a tattoo, and Brody was one of the first folks in line. He's been eager about it. That's great. Interesting. Good for anything.

“I think we'll, we're going to reveal later on in the studio here. Oh, that's good. I hope it's all”

bloody nasty. You guys want to skew off that way. Let's see you guys are in the frame a little bit better. Do you think we'll have that way? Which way do I go? Towards this this way a little bit. There we go. All right. Next dish. After I stick this up, I'm going to step outside for a second. Sure. Next dish. This one is mine. That is a soup called Fajoli. And I learned about this from Stanley Tucci. Stanley Tucci is said that he eats pasta every day. He also says Stanley Tucci.

Um, easy yay. Was he in easy yay? I'm going to, I'm going to pull him up. He's going to

bounce sound like a fool. Stanley Tucci. Double where it's Prada. Searching Stanley Tucci searching for Italy was a television show. He's famously a talent. Conclave. Oh, you loved Conclave. Transformers age of extinction. The Kingsmen and Hunger Games.

“I think Conclave is one of the best things I've watched. Who did he? Who did he play in Hunger Games?”

Uh, kind of one of the eccentric, um, he is like the, the broadcaster of the show. He's the owner of Flickerman. You know, how they have like a like an e Entertainment sort of show with the interview. The people. That's Stanley Tucci. Oh, okay. He like wears his Italian on his

Steve. He's very Italian. He said he eats pasta every day. This is his favorite soup.

Ever. It's called Fajoli. And so when Stanley Tucci talks about pasta, uh, I listen. It's an Italian soup. It's, it's got a lot of beans, uh, miripua, which is celery, onions, carrots, uh, bell pepper, kale, um, dittalini pasta. I don't know if that's how you pronounce that D. I. T. A. L. I. N. I. Dittalini pasta, um, marinara, broth, uh, herbs and spices and then ground meat, which for mine is ground venison. Um, it takes about an hour to make. It's a very tomatoy soup, a very,

beany soup. Um, I, I'd like this soup. I would give it like a seven out of ten, but it's my wife's favorite soup. She would give it a ten out of ten. How do you spell it? The, the, the, the soup. Uh, it's F. A. G. I. O. L. I. Fajoli. Um, Fajoli soup. So you don't get too gassy from this meal. No. I mean, there's a lot of ingredients in there. It's just like when you look at it, you're like, oh, there's beans in here. Yeah. Um, so in, in my mind, it's like now this is a bean soup, but it's like an Italian

bean soup. Um, again, it's got marinara in it, some tomato paste broth. Uh, there's a lot of different recipes online for this one. Um, it's beautiful. It's, it's just like a unique soup, too. I would say that when I eat it, I don't know what to compare it to as far as other soups. That's like a comfort food.

“I would say it's a comfort food. I think I feel like Stanley Tucci is said that this was like something”

his mom made. And so it's, it's very nostalgic soup for him as well. Uh, we're, we're now getting to the end of soup season here. You know, we've probably got a few weeks left. So that means a lot of soups in my house at this point. Yeah, I wasn't trying to be funny about the gas. Oh, and I think I just maybe need to eat more beans. I was, yeah, I was laughing about it like you're trying to tell a joke. I just think it's funny that like your mind is like, that looks good. Would I fart if I hit it?

Oh, we had, you and I went to lunch yesterday and I think my burrito had some beans in it. No. And I mean, I had to go to archery league and had to like, you know, be sort of a coy and tactical about when I was going to rip all my farts as I was walking to go get my arrows because it just like it hit me so hard. Luckily, they weren't super stinky, but man, did that was I gasy? I mean, I don't know. I just, we live in different worlds, yes. I just assume that I'm

going to be farting all day every day. I see. I don't really have like a rule of thumb for what I need to avoid or when I need to avoid it. Somebody says that Algarb has it. I did not know that. Oh, yeah, I thought it was still might be spelled F.A. Z.O. L.I. Like the chain Italian place fizzoli and I was thinking, oh, now I know it fizzoli means, but no, it's with a G. Fizzoli. Um, so that's, we'll make that probably one or two more times during soups. Looks delicious. As far as the

critter that came off of, I don't know. When I look at a brick of ground meat, I couldn't tell you where those come from. I imagine if you were to like take a DNA sample, you'd find, you know, two or three different deer that that came off of in my freezer. It's probably a white tail from Idaho that I killed two falls ago. Be my guess. Love that. Randall before we get to your dish, handyman, you know, as a question for Janus, did you ever pick from the fan submissions for Rose?

The suspense is healing me. I would guess handyman, you know, submitted something. Maybe. Um, I don't, or you can see that what's this little, what's that little mark on the left say, Steven, something? No, Steven hands. I bet. I don't know. Anyways, I've narrowed it down. I'm planning on early next week reaching out to some folks and conducting a short interviews to continue the process of the casting call. That's exciting. Someone else in the chat says that Fizzoli is like a

“cross between chili and minestrone, which is, that's the best way I think you can describe it.”

That person knows what they're talking. That's great. I love it when people can just explain

things like, I always think it's very clever when I explain that, since they style chili is like

bowl. Because people are like, oh, is it chili? I'm like it's more like a bowl in the, it's more like

a very savory, uh, almost Middle Eastern, like spice profile in bowl in the A's. It's like if somebody

“from Cincinnati, they want to make a unique chili. Yeah. That's what that person from Cincinnati”

would come up with. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Fill my dish please. Before my culture is further insulted by these gentlemen. So I was going to make a dish on the other day that it's something that we like to do where we'll grill like some steaks and grill a bunch of veggies and then whatever that, the white soft cheese, um, Reclat? No. Reclat? No. Reclat like a ricotta, like a ricotta of veggies. And then I was grilling this stuff and I had all the veggies in a basket and I flipped

the basket all the veggies spilled out on the ground. We'll not all of them, but a lot of them.

And so then I had to save those for Sydney's lunch because she packs them for lunch. And uh, she wasn't, she wasn't going to eat this for dinner because she wasn't feeling well. So I was like I don't have any veggies. I'll just eat this steak. So I had grand ambitions of like doing this

“is what we like to do with steak. But it's nice grilling weather. Still outside on the grill for”

while, but I forgot the trick with the basket that you actually have to hold it, you know, that little slider that locks it close can can get away from you. So just one of those things were at the beginning of grilling season. You're remembering all the little tricks and everything. And yeah,

I spilled all my veggies. So I just ate this. It's a big chunk of bison steak that I found

in the freezer left over from Sydney's basin from that bison beneath pretty good. Oh, phenomenal. Perfectly cooked, phenomenal. Yeah. It was very pleased with that. I was very pleased with that. See, it's not like a carnivore diet thing. It's just I spilled the other stuff. The dogs enjoy that? Yeah, dolly ate a bunch of mushrooms and what else we had and there's some squash and some things like that. And then you were just going to take that on and kind of melt the

ricotta or sprinkle it on there or how do you add just a little as I don't even think I'm using the right cheese. It's just like a dollop and you can kind of like sauce your veggie in it. Hmm. Okay. I mean, it could be goat cheese, maybe. If not ricotta? No. God, this isn't bearous. I mean, ricotta comes in a tub. Yeah, it's not. Brata. Oh, there's Brata. Yeah, I feel like you cut that one open and sort of like it's kind of like, it's kind of like a puff ball. Yes. Yeah. So we'll do Barata and veggies.

And sorry, we've got the scapula thing wrong. The thing wrong was Barata, but I like for those on some pasta. Like if you didn't have meat in the pasta and you put that on top, and it's like I'd finish it. It's nice. It's nice with like some grilled veggies and I love getting ideas from you guys. Yeah. Like in the last year, you know, Spencer, we've been doing Spencer's potstickers and a bunch. And now I'm going to try Barata with my meat and veggies. Don't buy

the ricotta. To know. No, where do you get the Barata? Is that easy to find? Albert's since has it. Oh, God. Yeah. But tonight I'm making an elk, a casserole tater tots on top. Oh, then I got the recipe from my buddy, which is it, you know, it's not too crazy. I could probably throw them one together. But it's nice to have someone else's recipe because it'll make it taste different than my food. Yeah. You have a foundation now. We're doing a little sheet pan,

we're doing a little sheet pan dinner with some elk brought words that I got out this morning. What is a sheet pan dinner? Just put everything like on a big cookie sheet. Uh-huh. Throw it in the oven. Like last night, we did, we did a chicken on the sheet pan. Like some grapes and some slices of squash and things like that. You just season it all throughout all in, pull it all out, slap it all on the

“plate, eat it all. Just like a one dish thing. Yeah. One pan meal that's like, yeah, that's what”

moms on Facebook really like to make is something that they think I find some good recipes from moms on Facebook. Yeah. No, it's like a nice easy, it's like a nice easy thing you get. You can even chop stuff like before you go to work. Yep. Chop it up, you get a home throw it in the oven. And I don't know, like 30 minutes later, it's done. Good meat, your menu for now. What's the next, Randall? Our next. Oh, I've got the wrong script in here.

Our next thing is gear talk. I miss something, though, with this plate of food that Corey brought in. Yep. Was there a theme? No. Or, uh, you know, he was just doing us a solid.

thing we talked about. Out backstage. Because I didn't get a corn dog and I have it eaten today. And I'm getting pissed. I, uh, that when I asked if anybody else wanted to come down on the office,

“please bring Phil some olive garden. There's gotta be extra olive. You have to give me some”

cold Alfredo. Please, we can, we can, we can heat up in the microwave on the second floor.

We can still, we have a backstage cast if you want Phil, and probably be here by at three. Yep, please do. Thank you. Our next second one is throw back Thursday. I'm excited for this one. No, it's gear talk. Not according to my screen. Oh, shit. Yeah, I read past there. Sorry. Can you play two sounds of one? No. Actually, maybe I haven't tried it.

Yeah. Our next segment is throw back Thursday. Throw back Thursdays where we look at old hunting and fishing and photos of the crew. I think I added some extra notes in there. They had to be hunting

and fishing. Not really. You didn't say that. That's just how we've always done it. Mine is your

“mind. Mine is adjacent. All right. That's count. I think our first, our first one is going to be”

Oh, oh, no, let's take a break. Okay. Brody's coming in. Oh my god, it's not just any tattoo. Wow. That's a lot. What does that say, Brody? Come over here. You'll be on camera. What does that think say? Where? Where? Yeah, like right here, right here between us. That says, I don't know, it's Latin. So, uh, for choose no billetot, which is um, the Henderson clan is an old-ass Scottish clan. Like going back hundreds and hundreds of years. And that was there like clan motto. And it means

virtue alone and nobles, which basically means like the Scots were fighting like the tyranny of British monarchy, dictatorship. They didn't want to be taken over by some jackass, acting like a dictator. So basically means like your name, your title, your rank, knowing that means shit. It's like, what you do is what makes you a noble. And I think it's kind of appropriate for the times with it. That's a great first tattoo. Yeah. Well done. Congratulations, Brody.

Congratulations. Did you feel brave getting that tattoo, Brody? No, no. I was kind of trying to figure out how to explain to my wife. So she doesn't know. That's how I got my first tattoo as well. No, Brody, you know that. Things permanent, right? You guys think tattoos are good behavior?

“They're not good behavior. I'm just using a line from I think you should leave.”

Thanks, Brody. Thanks, Brody. He's nice. Thank you for sharing. Well done. And also thank you to Corey Colkins for bringing me Phil Beatison Zagna. Is it warmer cold? I don't know. It's yet to be determined. I will keep you up to it. Okay. Well, four corn dogs is a bad idea. No. Let's throw a photo up there Phil and get to the throwback. Okay. This is me. This picture was from

August 2014. My buddy Dan on the left. Me in the center. My buddy Jake on the right. His dog Bruce. It's really cool. That's a hell of a dog named Bruce was in his first, I think, season of hunting at that time. This picture, it was taken on a Friday. And this was during South Dakota's August school season, which was fairly new at that point. It was maybe like that was the first year or one of the first years in this county where they had the August school season.

So you're like swadding mosquitoes out there as you try to kill Canada geese. We got 15 of them that day. That was a three-man limit. Here's the story though. But I want to tell behind this picture. My hometown bar had two furs on Thursday nights and two furs is where you buy a drink. You get one free. And so if we were ever like waffling on going to two furs, you just twist the other guys

arm be like, you know, you're losing money by not going to two furs. And that always worked.

So we didn't miss very many two furs. So we went to two furs the day before this hunt. And in that morning, I could barely sit up in my ground blind. I was like really struggling. And I was like, man, this is, you know, one of the worst hangovers I've ever had. And I didn't think I had drank that much the night before, but sometimes two furs sneaks up on you. So it could have been deceiving. So Thursday night was two furs. Friday morning was the goose on the picture

you're seeing here with the energy. Saturday I go to work. I worked at a federal fish entry at this time. And on the weekends, just one person would work. And I was working that weekend. And I was still like not feeling good. And I'm like, man, this, this hangover. It's now gone from one of the worst to just the worst. I've ever had in my life. And I was laying on the floor of my office at work

going on. And I realized that my appendix needs to come out. And it was in fact not a hangover

that I was battling. I just had like all the textbook symptoms. That's great. So I drive to convenient care to get this taken care of. And I go into convenient care and I tell them I say, my appendix needs to come out. I'm quite sure of it. You're like, okay, we need to take our own test though. Just to

“make sure that's what it is before we go cut new open. And so they take, you know, some images”

of my inside. And the doctor comes in the room. And he says, if you don't mind before we give you the diagnosis, we have some students with us today who are shadowing us, you know, this week here at work, do you mind if they come in and hear how, you know, what we tell you. Like, yep, that's no problem. I was in college at this time. So in walks three of my peers from the college where I go to school. I was a biology major. They were all biology majors. I didn't know their names, but we were familiar

with each other. I knew who they were. And so they all have note pants out that they're writing down on. And the doctor says, so we looked at your images. And we determined that you're severely constipated. That's what's going on. You don't need your appendix out. And so I was just like mortified, you know, most embarrassing moment of my life. I have this doctor telling me that I'm constipated. It's not my appendix. And meanwhile, it's three of my classmates who were like taking very earnest

notes on their clipboard, probably writing down, you know, like this guy can't poop or something like that. So it was a really awful experience. I got a Walmart after that load up on all of the taxitives go home and I still can't solve the problem. Sunday morning comes around and I'm just in like really, really bad pain at this point. And I drive to the ER and I walk into the ER. And I'm like, hey, I need an animal because I feel like I'm about to die here. And they're like,

“okay, but we got to do our own tests first just to make sure that's what's going on. So they go”

and they take some tests and the doctor comes in the room and he's like, hey, your appendix is about to rupture. So it was just like absolutely terrible. I took all the laxatives, just like destroyed my insides that was not the problem. I was correct. It was my appendix. It wasn't a hangover. I wasn't constipated and they put me into surgery right away. And now I don't have an appendix anymore. Trust your intuition and the internet folks. And it all started on that goose hunt where I could

barely sit up. That was when my appendix was like, all right, well, it's time to go. That's a great story, Spencer. I feel like I got it. Yeah, I'm surprised you have in the six years, the seven

that I've known you. I'm never. Well, you're still embarrassed about the constipated thing.

I mean, it doesn't want anybody to imagine. The worst part is those girls never got the update.

“I didn't get to like find them the next day. What did you say that I don't think, I think you just said”

peers, you didn't say they were a girl. It was three women. Yeah. I was just walked into class the next day and like a white t-shirt with just a bunch of blood coming out of the sutures from your appendix. I think I'm going to be like up. Doc was wrong. Yep. So that was the goose hunt appendix story. You guys had a bunch of five gallon buckets. I don't that goose hunt. What for? I don't think we were using them on the hunt. They were just in the back as someone's truck.

They used it for the picture. Both those guys were farmers. So they, you know, they were always

within arms reach of a five gallon pale. They'd just use in the pictures. That's right. Okay. Great work. I'll handle up next. My throwback there's a. This is my throwback. There's day. This is the the first summer I worked to Alaska. It's like the first week at September or something and we packed up the whole lot of years this. 2006. No, no, not 2006. 2010. Maybe.

So it was me. My boss is wife and two dogs in the boat and we're all going in for the season. So close up the lodge, pull all the boats out of the water. Take the one boat that's going to town. We fill it full of shit. And that's like a care boom. My boss shot. And I've got to fly out that night. I've got like a midnight flight at an anchorage. And so we load up the boat. We, we go to get going down river and the boat won't get up on step.

All right. I'll shit. We got like way too much shit in here. So we go back. We put some, we like decide what could just live there for the winner. We went to another lodge and like gave them some stuff for like stuff to put on the plane, you know. And we, we try to take off again. And we can't get the boat up on step. And eventually we, we, I think we went back three times and still couldn't really get the boat up on step. And we're like, all right, we just need to go.

was getting out of the water a little bit. And so we go down this river and we turn up the susit in a river, which is like the big river flowing down into cooking lit. And we just make that turn and like these are two big, glacial rivers like big water. And all of a sudden the boat just stops and and the motor still running. But we just like drop into the water. And we lift the motor up and what we realized was that some of the bolts holding the jet foot on the motor had come loose

and there's a stud that comes down that had sheared off. And so the foot of the jet motor, the thing that like collects all the water had just totally fallen off the motor. And while the reason we couldn't get up on step is because the motor wasn't drawing water through the jet pump.

“It's probably like still running that shape. I think it was just like loose and like inefficient”

inefficient and then it was a catastrophic failure. So we're just stuck in this river the foot fell off the motor. We can't go anywhere. And we kind of kick and paddle over to a sandbar and eventually get in touch, I think, with the in reach, get in touch with the guy at the landing who comes down in this big barge, like a big, you know, custom built barge with two outboards. And he toes us back to the landing just like ripping upstream. Long story short,

like we go, um, we go through the drive through. I think it was a Carl's junior in Whicilla and we show up to the Anchorage Airport like 45 minutes before my flight and I'm still wearing

my waiters. We like never changed out of what we're wearing. Like the plan was like going

get cleaned up and get. So I this like we were in this old F-150 van. I kind of hop out through my shit out, take my waiters off, roll it all up and stick it in the stick it in the bag and fly

“home. But I'll never forget like getting out of the van at the airport, taking waiters off”

that are still wet and just being like, man, I'm tough, you know. They're probably wondering what they know we did. But it's one of those things. There's just like, uh, I feel like this happens a fair bit where you think there's one problem and you just keep like kicking at that problem. We're like, oh, we just have too much stuff and at some point we're taking out enough

of it that we should have known that it wasn't the the weight of the boat. But we never actually

checked like the check the motor out and almost ended up spending the night on that sandbar. But thankfully we had we're able to get in touch with someone. You recently said year 22 is when you were most the hands when you were most handsome. How old were you in this picture? Yeah, that's probably

“pretty close. Okay, that's probably pretty close. Yeah, coming out of that coming out of that”

summer that winner was pretty good. What was working for you, you think that age? Mount attrition. Mount attrition in the lack of access to booze that summer. And also I was like, you know, just just like working all day, just like manual labor and carrying shit around cutting firewood. Uh, that was when I was in my, my prime, you know, and uh, still handsome. You were just more handsome than you were saying. No, I'm, he is monster. Look at me. All right,

you're on a Saturday, uh, live wire orange mountain over there. Never seen that one. Tell us

about that bill. Oh, my fire was one of my favorites. That's kind of what I shifted over to when Code Red got a little too much for me. I mean, it's just a very punchy orange soda with a little little citrus twist, you know, Jake, the producer is at agree with your tasting notes. It tastes like a pretty generic orange soda to me. Oh, yeah, take it back. Sorry, Bill. I was more of a mellow yellow guy. I don't know why maybe just maybe just to be different. Yeah, I could see, I can see that.

I like the song. Not Donovan's. Oh, my man. Oh, yeah, that is a good song. Wait, but yeah, you're kind of a non-conformist. Be hard to imagine. You're just hitting the do hard. Yani, what's going on in this picture? Well, oh, I don't know, even which one of you is Yani. Come on. I'm going to assume the little failure. No, the guy in the middle with the broken arm. You're not the guy in the left, are you? Yes, this picture is actually from the future.

cast on my arm. I'll get that cast. I believe that was 90 or 91. Were you guys even alive? I was born into 82. I was five years old. I was, I was months old. Four or five, I guess. Jake? Yeah. You're born. So expensive. I wasn't on the planet yet. Anyways. Yeah, that's Latvian Boy Scouts. I'm going for hours about what, where we could,

“sort of diverge from this photograph here. That's my buddy, Andres Antonz. I think in American”

Society probably goes by Andres. But he and I were born on the same day, six hours apart. And there's some sort of ceremony going on there. I don't, he couldn't remember. He sent me to picture a couple of weeks ago. He couldn't remember exactly what was going on. We were probably achieving the next step up in Boy Scouts. So in Latvian Boy Scouts, we pretty much, we wore the same outfits as American Boy Scouts. We did kind of the same merit badge program. We just spoke

Latvian, and then we went and did all of our activities with other Latvians. As well as the Latvian Girl Scouts, which I think was that divergence from American Boy Scouts from what I heard from my friends, they didn't get to do stuff with girls. It was very nice because we got to go hang out with girls when we went on our, you know, on Boy Scouting event, on Scouting Adventures.

Andres is parents who are not in this photo. They used it. They kind of always led the

cup scout troop. But they, I owe them, I've told us them many times in the past. But they were the ones that they had the resources to take the time off and then off and we had a school bus that we had bought. Countles of Latvian Boy Scouts. We had our own school bus. The back, we took everything out, put in shelves and bonks and stuff. And they drove us all over the place on fun adventures. So I owed them a lot because certainly in my younger years, you know, they exposed me to

nature quite often, you know, so it was pretty cool. You have the cast, skateboarding. Oh, I was about to get snowboards. You could have given me 10 guesses and I wouldn't have said skateboarding.

“Yeah, I believe I was trying like a front side, 50 grind. McTwistie. No, no, I never got that”

good to be trying McTwistie. You got enough to name things that you were doing, though. That seems, you know, like you were in the 90th percentile of skaters in.

Maybe I took third place in a skate competition. Oh, yeah, there was three competitors.

You were definitely a mellow yellow guy. But yeah, it was on a the KSU skate suit, which I think is now the longest running skate park in the United States of America. After some park, and I think Encinitas closed down or changed ownership or whatever. Bill Ferguson. I don't know if Bill still owns it. But anyways, yeah, it was there. It's a trick where if you imagine the half pipe you're going on up onto the coping and just grinding the coping with your

back truck. Yeah. And your back is to the to the is below you. You're you're like looking up in a way. It's very easy to go the other direction. Do you mind if I pause you? Well, I don't know. What kind of graphic did you have on the bottom of your deck? Oh, I mean, yeah, but in that time period, I had probably 30 decks. Oh, so it's hard to say. God. But then during that, I know I had it was a clear grip tape had popped on the scene right around then and I had a,

“I think I had a pink dog town skateboard that I had to clear grip tape on. So it was a pretty,”

pretty bright deck. I can't remember who, like, which pro skaters deck it was. My first

one ever was Corey Smiths. I believe that was his name from Santa Cruz and it had the groomed Reaper. I guess kind of a character he's throwing the like the big fireball that does sound like a skateboard deck. But anyways, I broke that wrist and that there is the reason that my wrist, it doesn't bend any farther than that. Oh, interesting. Like that wrist goes back doing. I can't do pushups like a like a in a classic form. I do them on my knuckles. Oh, so my pushups

are fine. Thanks for asking, but I just have to do them on my knuckles. Yeah. Um, but yeah, it's, I went years and years and years and sort of just dealt with it and it wasn't a problem and then

it's become a little more problematic, especially trying to work out. Like actually this morning I was doing some turkeys get ups. You know what that move is? Do I ever? Well, holding that weight, I can hold a lot of weight, but if it gets off canter at all, this wrist has zero strength in it. Yeah. So a big, a big place I feel like a lot is shooting my bow.

“Right. When you gotta pull against it, you need to be able to bend that wrist a little bit. Yeah.”

And so I actually draw with it like very like locked like this and then once I get there, I open it up and I get into my relax. Has anyone ever watched you who's like a pro and been like, Yani, you've left wrist is all wrong when you're doing it. Oh, everybody can see it, really. When they, I was actually just on the phone call with Matthews talking about this and now their new limb shift technology makes it very easy for the shop to tune the bow so that it'll

work for me. Because I torque that bow so much that if someone without this problem, it like if you shot my bow, if you're a right hander, you will shoot it. If you shoot it through paper, which is the thing you do to make sure your bow is tuned well. It'll cause a tear where they're like the front, the tip hits, makes a hole. But then the air actually comes through the paper at an angle. And so you'll see like, which way it tears? Just because your bow is set up to compensate for

yes. And so the guys in the shop now have set up enough bows for me that they know they set it up

“with like a three to four inch tear. I think it's to the right and then they'll be like,”

that's right and then I, and then I come in and I shoot it and I'll just shoot a bolt hole through the paper. It's like you got to lift in one shoe. You can kind of legs were different like kind of um so yeah that I wasn't a cast for 11 months that year. I started and all it was was the broken wrist and you can see that picture it shows I have the cast up to my biceps. I had the like over the elbow cast and then they took that one off and gave me a shorter one. I had to do these

this thing at night where they would put this thing over my cast and it sent like radio frequencies

like through the bone to try to help the healing. It basically screwed the pooch completely on healing

on healing this bone. Funny stories years later. I mean years later. I think those maybe even living in Bowlsman maybe yeah maybe I had this job. So maybe just like 10, 10, 11 years ago like have good insurance got enough money to waltz into the to the hospital and be like, fix this. They take x-rays and the guy comes in and he's like, man we're sure I can help you. He's like, I can do things like break it, rep break it, pins it all this but you're going to end up with

the same range of motion that you have now. It's beyond fixable at this point and you're just going to have to deal with what you have for the rest of your days. Oh damn. Yeah it's a bummer man. If you get us like, and you wouldn't think that your wrist would be such a thing but like you know

from pushups to any any kind of strength thing like that. It I'm always compensating for it.

You bench. Classic? No. It's very hard. Now it's like keep like a very weird kind of straight. Yeah. I don't know like almost rotate my wrist forward to do it. Yeah. If we're ever rasslinian, you know a weak spot. Oh 100%. Okay. Yeah, you can take me out while I did pinching that wrist. That's good to know. Sorry not to make a lot of it. No, it's always been it is what it is. It is really. I played a lot of basketball during that time period of my life. That's true. God that's

not your stroke hand. Yeah. But what happened is I would go to the Y every day I'm in school because a little bit across the street from our middle school. Yeah. And it got to the point where they

had to make special rules because they didn't like I basically learned that that cast I could

pretty much just like push anybody out of the way. Yeah. And people didn't like it. That I was just like using my cast. It's kind of a weapon as I was playing basketball. That's sweet. Was your left, did your left hand to lay up ever developed? No. Same here. No. Andrew, my wrist though.

“I think we've got gear talk up next Randall, but I'm just so we're not doing back to back”

PowerPoint presentations. Do you want to do this fake news? Yeah. Yeah. We can go to fake news. Can I make a comment real quick before fake news? Sure. I can't believe you guys are pulling over a thousand viewers right? The whole day. Yeah. It dropped off there for a minute. I started getting worried, but we're back up in the healthy territory. Once they found out, Yani is skating quite a bit. Yeah. I know if you saw the comments behind, but there were a lot of folks very

genuinely taking today off work. No. Yeah. Yeah. It's kind of disgusting how many people said they weren't so happy. But we're happy that they're healthy creedants. I want to have their employers

pizza. I mean, I'm halfway, I'm halfway like hoping that our employers don't know about this.

“I know that they do, but I feel like this shouldn't. I mean, don't all these people, let's see.”

It's like early March, squirrel seasons have to still be open in a lot of states. Since she folks be out squirrel hunting, well, we're not going to be ready alive. It's not unfair. This is a appointment television. Phil, thanks. Thanks to Dalton Morgan, who says he will die before he turns off the stream. Hell yeah. It's a challenge. Hell yeah. Welcome to meat eaters 12 and 26 presented by multi-mobile and on-ex maps. 12 of meat eaters biggest and baddest hunts from the last

year released throughout 2026. These are long-form episodes so you get more of what you love. The first one up is my baited bear hunt in Manitoba. If you've ever wondered what a baited bear hunt is like, you'll love this episode. My favorite part was watching a younger bear spend an hour trying to figure out how to get a creatively hung beaver carcass down from a tree. Check it out now on meat eaters YouTube channel and be on the lookout for more 12 and 26 in the coming months.

Are you ready for this one film? Yeah, do you think news? Our next segment is fake news. For the second time ever in the history of meat eater radio life, this is a fan favorite segment. Meat eater radio life fake out. That's where we've lied to the co-hosts about the planned segment. Instead of doing fake news, we've got a surprise interview with the host of meat eater radio life, Randall Williams who's coming to his life for meat eater HQ and Boseman

Montana. Randall, welcome to the show. Thanks, Randall. It's great to be here with you.

“Randall, what if you can give folks a little background on meat eater radio life?”

Yeah, sure, Randall, I'm happy to speak to that. Meat eater radio live, as I'm sure your listeners are aware, is a weekly podcast that we live stream every Thursday at 11 a.m. Mountain time from meat eater HQ and Boseman, Montana. The first episode aired August 22nd,

2024 and over the past 19 months, it's proven to be a remarkably flexible and always fresh

piece of programming for its devoted listeners. As of this week, however, meat eater radio live is being sunset. Wow, that sounds like a tremendous accomplishment to run a weekly live podcast, spanning some 80 episodes. How did you guys handle weeks where you weren't in the office? Sorry to interrupt. Is it possible to interrupt your notes? No, that's great. That's great. First of all, you had to pre-record some of our live episodes.

Those pre-record still had the same chaotic unscripted feel of the live stream, but obviously there are some drawbacks. One of the best parts of the show is our interaction with the live audience and those pre-records obviously made that impossible. Did you guys ever experiment with recording part of the show ahead of time, but then combined that with a live stream? I could imagine a scenario where you could live stream part of the show in pre-record another element, so it had the

appearance of a regular live episode, but folks might not notice they were interacting with pre-recorded

footage. That's a hell of an idea, Randall. It's actually one we considered, but never figured out how to

“pull it off until now. Well, now that radio live is ending, how are you in the crew handling it?”

Yeah, I'm doing okay, and Spencer's come to accept it. I've noticed that Phil has come to work with booze on his breath a little more than usual, but not that much more than usual. The real wild card is Janis. I'm almost certain he's taking this the hardest, but he's not being very open about his feelings. Hard to read that one. Luckily his office mate Corey is a really good guy, and they have a close relationship. We're all trying to play our part in Janis support system, but Corey's

bearing the brunt of that burden. Boy, that's hard to hear, Randall. I'm wondering if you have any final parting words for the meteor radio live audience. Yeah, I think everyone here at HQ just wants to thank the radio live audience for their trust and patience over the past few months. This show has been held a lot of fun to make. Mostly because there weren't any standards or expectations regarding the quality of content. Well, Randall, we appreciate your time and good luck

with the meteor live, Grand Finale Live, extravaganza. Thanks, Randall. I appreciate you have me on. That word flawlessly. That was great. It's one of our best guests with that so far. Yeah, that was one idea. I was really excited about thanks for Phil's helping in allowing him to pull that one off.

I think that we were going to do and then never did or did you just come home with that?

interview ourselves. But then I got time got away from me, so it was just a solo interview.

“But I think it worked out better that way. I mildly knew this was coming because in our document”

that we follow the script, Randall has a section that's just called secret. I did not go and look at it and very proud that I resisted seeing it. But that's now I know what lived there. Oh, that was fun. Thanks a lot, guys. Thanks for indulging me. And I love Phil's sounder. That's Phil was very deep in his bag to make that sound for the the meteor fake out. He stole the ball, crossed up a defender, did it between legs, dunk. Yeah, I was going to say the exact same

thing. I think Brianna has brought us some outback steak. I think I think food got delivered here

by maybe someone watching. Oh, it's a dairy queen. What do we have here, Brianna? Okay, if you couldn't hear our friend Brianna there, someone ordered food to our studio,

“which is incredibly kind. Please show yourself in the chat. Shout out to Brianna H.”

Oh, I thank you. Brianna H is the order. It's from dairy queen. Thanks Brianna. Two, two corn dogs, two hot dogs and a regular fry. Wow. That's great. This is highly unexpected. We are eating well here. But how excited are you right now? Who wants what? I'm actually really excited. Oh, no, they're not corn dogs. They're probably chili cheese dogs. Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay. That's cool. So now this is the best day ever, except for the ending of my favorite part of my

job. Are the previously consumed four corn dogs going to like affect it all like your your moves? No, it's here in the next 10 minutes. It may have improved his game. Yeah, let's say. Yeah, we got two chili cheese dogs and a two hot dogs. Well, whoever did this at a better idea

“than then my little stunts. Wow. Who wants one? I don't know, baby. You say he's hungry.”

Well, now I'm full of all gardens. So I'm doing. I'm doing great. If there's anybody in the meteor live. Sorry, not the meteor. The meteor office listening. Catch it mustard relish. If we have it, please. Oh, the commercial kitchen definitely has two maybe I'll grab some on my tour. What should we do next, Phil? Should we do, uh, we can go on a gear talk. Wow. Our next segment is gear talk. Oh, I'm going to miss that, Phil.

Oh, honey. Brody skull. Oh, go. Do we? Brody's got to take his show and tell item home. Well, this transfer happens. I'm going to start a new audio file for the podcast versions. Yeah. Hold tight for about five. Live audience. We're holding tight here. Yeah. Well, you do this. I'm going to take a 10 one. Okay. So my, yeah, when you come back, could you else to bring the ketchup and mustard? Yeah. Well, so my gear talk is this thing. It's made

by night eyes, uh, a familiar. And it's, it's, it's a Daisy chain with a bunch of little plastic, uh, double sided carabiner. Uh-huh. Oh, type carabiner. And then on the end, it's got this plastic coated wire. Yeah. Um, they call those gear ties. Gear ties. Gear ties by Nida. Which part

to gear tie? They're like first part. Okay. So so this thing, I don't like keep it in my back

or anything. I keep it at the truck. But if you're like getting back to the truck and hunting the next day, and you got a bunch of like sweaty clothes or whatever, just to hook this inside the drum and you can clip your like gloves, your socks, your hand, all that stuff on there. You could do it outside of the truck. If it's not like snowing or raining out and get some wind on all of your stuff, um, you can hang it up in your, in your tent.

Um, but I found it, and also in the garage when you get back home, just like, it's a makeshift clothes line. Um, and it spaces it all out for you. The stuff doesn't slide around on there, and those gear ties make it real simple to just like on the, you know, the little oh shit handles. Yeah, your truck window, like tied on there, tied to a headrest, hang some stuff up, um, or like in the bed of your truck under the truck cap. It's handy little piece of gear. It was a Christmas

just something to have around to like hang stuff up. Looks like everybody could use one of those. Yeah, yeah, probably probably overstated. It's usefulness. Can you give us a, uh, a little, a critique

“of the chili cheese dog from DQ or a compliment? Oh, I think it's good, actually. Um,”

yeah, I don't really have any tasting notes. This is just very solid. Chili cheese dog. Okay. Y'all need, you go, my gear talk has pictures. Okay. You're going to have any pictures. I read my mind. Thank you. We didn't want one. I did not, I'm on the wagon or off the wagon, however they say that the moment, so no beers for me. Uh, for gear talk, I brought this here bag. This one happens to be made from by exo mountain gear. It's pretty much what

you call a roll top dry bag. Uh, this one I believe is a little bit lighter than most roll top dry bags say you just buy an REI for the purpose of putting some gear in for a rafting trip. Um, but this bag lives in the bottom of my backpack. And you guys have all heard this before. Maybe

live by the same roll that it's always great to have gear that is multipurpose. Mm-hmm. Right.

You can do that. It's not, you're not carrying around just for one reason. So the main reason for this

“is to carry out, um, I don't know if it's the main reason. I think this is pretty much split 50 50,”

but to carry out meat and prevent your gear and your backpack from getting just totally soaked with blood and having to clean it later. That thing smells like meat. Yeah, you can smell it now that I have unrolled in. Um, kind of in a nice way. Yeah. Yeah. It cleans up very easy. I literally just flip it inside out, spray it a little bit, episode in the washer, and just run the regular cycle on it, and it comes out super clean. The other thing though, that I've started doing with these bags

like this, and this is something I learned on our hunting moon in New Zealand, which saved very, very wet place. This is the time of year we were there in the fall. Uh, that instead of running

rain covers for your backpack, like something to go over your backpack, they're basically just

lying their entire backpack with one big garbage bag. Mm-hmm. And then all of your gear goes in there. You roll the top down, and that keeps your gear way drier than a rain cover. Mm-hmm. Rain covers are just light. They get pulled off. They're not, they're not completely inclusive of everything that's, you know, on your gear. Um, so yeah. So now, if I know I'm going to have a wet trip, uh, I just basically put every single piece of gear that needs to stay dry in here,

roll it shut, and just lives inside your backpack. So your backpack itself still gets wet, but, um, everything inside of it says nice and dry, you don't have to worry about it. And, uh, so yeah. Well, who likes that again? This one's made by Exo Mountain gear, but, uh, I'm sure there's a bunch of companies out there that make it, but this one's nice to when you're packing a heavy load of meat, because it is narrow enough. I don't know if that's if you can tell. Mm-hmm.

It's narrow enough that the old job. The, yeah, well, the load ends up being vertical and along your back, which is a much more comfortable way to pack meat than have all that same amount of weight just sitting right on the top of your booty where it can get very uncomfortable very quickly. So, uh, yeah, there you go. All right, my gear talk has a couple photos. I'm back. That fill is going to pull up. Uh, I'm reviewing my rooftop tent. I've owned this rooftop

tent for two years. It's my second rooftop tent. Um, my second one that I got is the thing that

the most researched purchase of my life that wasn't a house or pickup. Uh, this would be number three was my rooftop tent. Uh, after all that research I decided I wanted a super specific. They are made in Portland. Um, and I absolutely love it. I really enjoy this thing. My wife really

“enjoys it as well. We use it together. We've used it on our own. Um, I think I've probably spent”

50 nights inside of it. Um, a lot different times a year, different parts of the country have done. This was picture was in Montana in November. Um, I stayed in there. I've, I've done California in March. I've done Arizona in May. Um, I've done Minnesota in June. So I've, I've used it a lot of different seasons. Um, really big fan of it. It's, it's ideal, I think, for someone who is doing either solo trips or a trip with one other person. Um, if you have like two teenage kids, uh, as well as you and a

catching up. That was not, that was not a, a gastric issue. Uh, come out of ten three rooftop

tent would be, uh, again, ideal for someone who's like just got a spouse or maybe a spouse and a dog, um, because it's like the size of a queen bed up there, but that's literally all of the

“space that you have in one of those things. Um, I think the ideal user lives someplace with a lot”

of public land, the type of camping that we do a lot. Uh, you'd call boon docking, which is just you pull over someplace and, and that's where you sleep and you don't need a reservation. Uh, and it's just like a piece of BLM or national forest where you can disperse camp legally. Um, that is how we spend most nights in our rooftop tent. Um, I'm a really big fan. I will own one of these things. Um, well beyond how long I own this pickup. This rooftop tent is going to go on my

next truck and probably my truck after that. Oh, you think it'll last that long? I sure hope so. Yeah. Yep. I'm a big fan. So I, I would recommend a rooftop tent to anybody who lives in the

West, uh, who enjoys long road trips, um, where they are doing a boon docking style. No, I've never heard

it call boon docking. Hmm. What would you call it? Dispersking. That's nothing. I feel like boon docking is our bealingo. It's specific to yeah. Like when you're sleeping in the thing that has

“wheels that got you there. Yeah. Then I think if you're not staying, if you're not staying somewhere,”

like in a developed campground or with with hookups, RV people call that boon docking. Boon docking. Uh, again, mine is a super pacific. I'm a really big fan of it. Oh, um, Randall's got an alarm going on. What's that alarm mean? I said an alarm for 228 PM. So that that means we're three hours and 28 minutes into this into this podcast, which officially makes this the longest podcast and the history of meat eaters. Oh, hey. Yeah. Yeah. Everyone in the chat you were here. Meat eater episode 105,

which aired on September 21st or September 2nd, 2019. That was three hours and 28 minutes long. The title that was managing Bambi again episode 105. And we have now killed and buried that as a record. And history of this company. So congratulations. Who was on though? We did it. It sounds like a Hefel finger episode. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't remember. I did this like five minutes before we started. I asked filters and easy way to look it up. He said no. So I just rolled through all them

and rubbed down the ones that seemed to longest. But this is officially the longest meat eater podcast ever. And we're only halfway through. So exactly slightly scary. Yeah. That means if this math holds Randall, you'll have you and I would say it doesn't hot dogs by the end of our street. I'm almost this is number seven. Doing it. You're doing it. I could talk about the rooftop tent all day. If you have questions about it, reach out to me. I'll try to answer any questions you have

because it is a big purchase. And it's something that is going to potentially go to your next vehicle as well. We have somebody in the office who recently got one and they're very disappointed in their purchase. Oh no. Yeah. Nate Mason. So he does not enjoy his experience so far. And he wishes you to do a couple things differently. So don't be Nate. You know, really researching the

“thing. Reach out to me if you have any questions. We should have told me not to. How long is it?”

Lank lengthwise. You know, for a fellow that's six to a final lot, it looks like my toes might be touching. Your toes might be touching. It's a wedge style rooftop tent. There's many different styles. The styles call it a wedge style. And so your toes on your big guy, they might be touching the bottom. But super specific has the option to give you an extended inside. It's kind of got a false floor when you're on top of it or a false ceiling if you're in the bed of your truck.

That makes it longer. So you'd be totally fine there. Super specific. The most important thing is

your comfortable in there. You're never wet. You're never dry. There are other wedge styles on the market where it's been deemed that that wedge style has a waterfall. It's called where you'll get condensation at the top and it trickles down and by the end of like your sleep when you wake up in the morning, you're going to have wet socks. I've never experienced that in the super specific. The online communities and agreement that they don't have that issue either. But there are a few brands on

the market. The wedge style is really tricky to engineer from what I've got and super specific has nailed it. Big fan. Cool. I think we have our crew joining us shortly. They're going to be coming in the room. So if we have a couple of feedbacks, Phil, I feel like we should maybe save movie for later. Okay. That's fine. I have to be 100% honest. I have been missing so much of the chat. That's okay. If we're going to do feedback, that's fine. But I'll just be kind of cherry-potting as I

and we're going to move on to the next hour and then Randall's okay if we do movie club later. Okay. Okay. Yeah. I'm definitely not going to play the drop this time. Phil, were you ever privy to Lauren Morton's hot tip off? Little thing that he did live for us?

“I remember you guys used to do those and I think posted a couple on YouTube back in the day.”

Yeah. It was before my time but I'm not super familiar with them now. This is a nice example of some fun vocals. Oh, I'll have to check it out. Yeah. Are we still alive? Yes, you're honest, we're alive. Wolks are just watching us trade seats. That's right.

Oh, yeah. I guess that was the the plan was on that. Okay. Well, these are this third head to head

of our hot tip off today. Once again, we do not know who it is. So let's all be surprised. Jack Shevel. Oh, no, that says meat pole. Wait, what's happening? I am Jack Shevel. I have a hot tip for y'all. If you take a wrangle can and you wrap duck tape around it, take a arf Swiss army knife or whatever you have and stab a bunch of holes in it. It's perfect for catching cradads. Look, my little brother has a bunch of them to show you.

So catch them cradads. Ian Eski. Hello, everyone. My name's Ian and I'm coming at you with my hot tip today. If you're like me, you're really busy and your friends are also really busy. So sometimes it's hard to find a hunting partner. Well, what I did is I went and made my own. I'm not going to go into details of how you make one, but there's some books on that. You can probably read, but it's definitely a long-term investment. But what we want to do to make it,

pay off is kind of start the mouth with some literature. I've got a couple of just examples here

“of the literature we read and are going to be reading. But yeah, that's what you do to get your”

own hunting partner that you can make a hunting with you anytime. There you have it. A couple of solid tips there. Go ahead and put the chat. The pull-up in the chat. I'd be honest when the kids did prangles. When he said you get a prangles can, that's sold it for me. Dave's the winner. Hey, plus no notes. Well, let's see what the chat has to say. I'll fill now has the chat voting. While that happens, we are making a pit crew change in the room here.

I'm now in the driver seat. Randall is off to the side, digesting. We also have a few new crew members joining us in the room. We are going to be playing a game shortly. Actually, we're going to

be playing a lot of games shortly. The first one is going to be a returning segment that we've

only done one other time. And after that, we are doing a brand new segment. Folks in the room, you are going to need your cell phones for the second game that's coming. Phil, how is the chat doing? Are they getting their votes in? You the votes are coming in. It's closer than the last two have been. But I don't know how much it will tighten up in the next minute or so. But we can go ahead and give you 10 more seconds to get your votes in the air. I missed it.

What exactly did the second guy say? He was, I mean, I put it up in the chat. His tip was basically

“intercourse. That's a reproduction. That's right. Thought. Yes. If you want to have a hunting partner”

in all the time, make one. Phil, you ready to call it? Let's call it here with 63% of the vote. That's right. It's Jack and his pringles can. All right. Frank, hot dog. Jack, you're getting a, we can give him a gift card. We can get a $100 gift card. Jack, thanks, Jack. Great share with your brother, because I think showing the bag full of crawfish was a nice touch. You're right. That, I think that sold it for folks who were voting. God, that's great. Okay. We have now added three

more people to the studio. And our next segment is mystery meat. Oh, I forgot to grab the drop from my computer. Oh, no. Can you sing? It was the police one. What is this meat? It was please don't sand so close to me. But mystery meat. Okay. We've only done this one other time. And

basically Max Barda has brought us some mystery meat that only he knows what it is. And we're going to

blindfolded for that. Yeah. It's kind of already. It's kind of funny. Like the first time we did, I don't know if your microphone's on. If it is, I'm not hearing. Sorry. I'm I'm muting everybody. It's not another other way. Maybe problem. I'm not good fit. Yeah, you're good. You're hot. Yeah. So like the first time we did mystery meat, I was like, oh, yeah. This is going to be an

“everyday thing. And now it, since I'm the only one that's done it, I think it should be Max's mystery”

meat. Okay. We have it written in the, in the dog. It's great. We've rebranded it now. It's, oh, yeah. I think it was mystery meat sponsored by Max Barda. Yeah. So Max has two skewers of meat here that we are going to taste and then try to guess what it is. I feel like my eyes were already given me. Can we just guess from here? No, you got to try it from here. Yeah, you got to try it from here. Patience scratch. We'll just, we can each have one. Yeah, but you're probably going to want to

cut it a little bit. I'll just take these off here. Cut, cut half and handed over here, Max. Well,

please, look scrumptious. Yeah. I don't know. I've never, uh, cut this meat before. Okay, there's a hint.

I have, uh, here. I'll just let, I'll just pass the cut and go around. You guys can do it yourself. Oh, no, don't pass that thing around. That's going to be dangerous. Just can you throw them? But do I want to give everybody a heart already? Everybody open their mouth. Hey, what kind of heart, Johnny? I don't know if it's even going to be, it's going to be good to be on. I'll be honest. Oh, really. Yeah, I do. And I'm deep. You're super full.

Yeah, you seem like you overcooked a max. I was going to eat some. The recommendations from someone else. All of our timing all day has been terrible. Max also thought he was going to be serving this 40 minutes ago. Um, do they? I'll take a bite. Yeah. Is that what happened? Is that you just, they're staying on the grill for 40 minutes? No, uh, the guy who I got these from told me how to cook them.

“And I think there's some communication issues. No. So, um, when Spencer asked me to do this, he never said,”

it has to be good. It just has to be a mystery meat, though. You're right. Only parameters.

I did not say it had to be good. No, I've never used it. But I'm enjoying it anyway. Good. I mean,

yeah. No, it's pretty good. But it's dry. I'm getting my iron. Yeah, I'd be like Yani correctly identified it as a heart. Um, you know, some sort of organ. A heart is this one bite. What animal would have? Oh, I've eaten seven hot dogs today, Max. What animal would have a heart this size goose? Yeah, or a duck. I thought you would have cooked a goose or a duck heart by now. Hmm. Hmm. Who would have got to be a mental victim? I've never cooked this in his life. Yeah.

Oh, it seems like a big duck could be real. I don't know. It's too small. It'd be a turkey heart. Is it too small? Yeah. I have turkey heart. It's got to be something he was able to get aid of. Yeah. Well, um, is it a bird, Max? Yes, it is a bird. It is a bird. A San Hill crane. Oh, no. Tundra swans. No, I've heard it once. So it's a can of the goose. Yeah. It is a can of the goose. Oh, yeah. I'm surprised they're hard to that big. Yeah.

Um, Steve gave these to me. They're lovers. I had to reach out to them and just be like, what should I? No, so I'm making it. I'll make this. So I mean, I'll be honest, like, if it wasn't dry, it just tastes like a heart. Yeah. I like it. Oh, you have you had cooked it to meet? No, thank you. But he told me to cook it on like low in fat. So I used some of your berries and I just cooked it in that and then did a little sugar. Oh, that's it. So that's perfect. You did good, Max.

Little dry, but yeah, perfect for a little scared. We're telling him it's too dry. Heart nuggies. No, I mean, if you're going to cook heart, um, yeah, I was going to cook it to medium

“well, cook it to medium rare. That's what I wrote on the internet. You'll have a much better experience.”

Yeah. There's well with a ba-ha blast mountain, too. Or a cobras light or a chili dog from dairy

queen. Yeah, that last one's still looking at me. We are doing something we have never done now.

Oh, we're doing this. Everyone is going to get out of their phones. Okay. I'll take me a couple of minutes to kill some. You need your phone here. Yes, you need your phone. Or actually, you can use my phone. Okay. Great. Um, what time is it? It is 240. 240. So this is the last thing you're going to do. And then you can bounce after this. This is our final use of Janice who tells it is a heart out. You guys got a link for this? Yeah. I just sent you a. Yeah. I do it on the photos. No, no, you're going to scan a QR code here in

just one second. Our next segment is a new segment called Quiplash. Here's how this game works. Each player is given a prompt that I wrote. Their goal is to create a funny answer. Then their answers go head to head. And we will vote on which one is our favorite. They are awarded points for getting votes in the player with the most vote. But with the most votes at the end, wins the game. Randall, Janice, Max, Phil, Cori, and Alex are playing. I will try to

this thing odd. And you're here. If you are watching this live right now, you can actually participate in this game after we all join. After we all join, you will I will show you a code on the screen. And you can be a part of what they call the audience. Which means you get to you also get to vote for your favorite answers and responses. And it does weigh towards the who gets points. So give me a minute here and I think my wife's watching. Okay, we practice playing this game

and Cori calls and is providing some extra money. Once you go to the website, type in that code. Don't say it out loud until we're out there. I thought I was going to scan a code.

“Oh, I was wrong, Yani. Let me hand in my phone and I'll get you to where you need to be.”

Thanks, sir. And Yani was typing something furiously on my phone. If you're like, yeah, I'm a baby. If you would like to participate at home, go to jackbox.tv. Jack like the name JACK box. My wife said I look cute. V. Well done, that's nice. That's great. Thanks Alex. Ask her what, ask her how she thinks I look. She can probably hear you ask her how long she's been

watching this. Phil, we can see the screen and that man. Alex, you have a job. I've never done a custom

game before. So I can get a cut. Winner just showed back up. I keep it long. Okay, is everybody joining this? Oh, a good job, Phil. I don't know how you worked that magic. Is everybody want more good? You did it anyway. You got a tattoo today, right? Sure, yeah. Oh, yeah, you got the hand tattoo. Oh, yeah, we should probably go give an update out there. I think Hillary is up right now. Okay. Let's see. How many players, how many players will you have six or six of us? Okay, great.

You are the sixth player in the room. Oh, unless Jake wants to play instead of you fill. Oh, yeah, I'll I'll step out because that would make me that would make it easier for me. So give me a give me a second. Okay, actually. Jake is going to play. All right. Phil, can you remind our audience how to how to join and vote? Yeah, yeah, they, um, they can't join until I start the game here, because otherwise they become a player in the game. And for those in the room playing,

“this is on a timer. So you need to be quick and you need to be witty. Uh oh, yeah,”

I know because now that I'm not playing, we got to do it over again. Oh, okay. So there's there's a new code for you to see the code, Johnny. This is going to take some trouble shooting, but it will maybe be worth it. And after this game, um, I think we have three or four more games that we're playing today. Yeah, and movie club and movie club. They ran it. We're going to get to movie club. We're going to do that with a cold tight at the end of the show. Oh, are we? We still have a capital. Yeah,

Corey, what's your hardout today? Oh, crap. 6 p.m. I mean, whatever, I just got to drive five hours tonight with all I forgot. Plus, no one in the past. Whatever. I'll get out of here when I get out of here. Okay. You know, it's a good attitude. Oh, no, none. Yeah, three, two, three, four, five. We're going to do there. Right,

buddy. I screwed up again. Oh, nice. Oh, Phil, what have I no telling river? I've never done a custom

game before. I'm so sorry. Okay. Okay. Oh, you're doing okay. That's not great, but I don't think it's ruined this. Oh, that's an easy one. Don't read that one out loud. Oh, good. Okay. This time I'm not going to join. Jake, whoever joined, it might be Alex, you'll be responsible for, um, running the game. Probably waiting for Alex, which is what we felt as though the finale was the right time to try something new, uh, because if it's good, you know, we'll do this all the time. Nope. I don't know.

So keep this connecting. This is a, um, is it really bad? Uh, maybe we won't do, uh, equipment. If we have time at the end, we'll come back to equipment. Okay. So you want to move on to a different game? Uh, yes, but everyone in here can still play the other games, right? Yeah, they can play the other game. Apologize to the audience at home. Randall, I heard you're going to go jump in the pond. It's ready, buddy. I was just out there. You started sweating for

“few sleep in the meat. That's what they're probably coming. Okay. You're going to stick around”

for our next game meat pole. It'll just take like 10 or 15 minutes. Okay. Everybody get a whiteboard, a marker and any racer because our next segment is meat pole.

You're ready. Oh, I got a game to play. All this hot dog bark is it? We need to never,

we're got to clean up. Do you have that over stenciling? What do you need? Yeah. Okay. Um, so meat pole is a test of how much you know about your fellow hunters and anglers. I surveyed 500 meat eater listeners about the outdoors, your job is to predict their answers. There are three questions, whoever is closest to the correct answer will get two points, whoever is second closest will get one point. You guys are in charge of keeping your own score.

to what your score is and who is closest and who is second closest. The chat is also going to

play along and Phil is going to watch them and he will shout out whoever has the best answer for meat pole. Yeah. We'll see if I can keep up with a 1000 to people. All right. Our first

“question for today is what percentage of meat eater listeners have eaten roadkill?”

What percentage of meat eater listeners have eaten roadkill? Randal is doing some very impressive multitasking. He's got a chili dog in one hand and a marker in the other. My fingers are too grease. I could probably just write on the board with chili grease. Did we find out who delivered that for you guys? Brian, Brian. Brian, I don't know if that's the could be. The professional golf maybe. What percentage of meat eater listeners have eaten roadkill? Go ahead. I just didn't know

if that was the name of the Uber driver or if that was the name of the person who ordered it. What percentage of meat eater listeners have eaten roadkill? Yannie have you eaten roadkill? Yes, or what was it? Did anyone recently a calf move? Yeah, you watched that thing get smacked on the road. Not quite. My neighbor did and then he immediately called me and said, "Just go get that thing."

Did it taste any different than a regular moves? Eating a calf. Did you notice it always

sounds more tender? Yeah, yeah. Because when we did the math, if it popped out and

“may, I think it was like three months old. Whoa, there's still giant. Still took two of us. We barely”

got it into my truck, two of us. And yeah, it was extremely pale meat. Hmm. Just like a wheel, you know, how they have that more of a painting than a red color. Very few people have eaten a calf. Yeah, definitely not. That was only three months old. What percentage of meat eater listeners have eaten roadkill? Again, I surveyed 500. I have all of our listeners to get this answer. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answer. Randall says 31. Yannie says 27.

40 says 3. Alex says 13. Maximus says 3. Jake says 28. Yannie. The correct answer is 18.8.

Percent. Uh, have eaten roadkill. So I think Alex was the closest. Who was the second closest to

18.39. No, without it over. No, you go. No, no, no, no. That's a 2.30. Yannie had 279. So 2.4. Alex, 1.4. Janice, a 24 you go of pull found that 6% of Americans have eaten roadkill. 89% have not. And 5% said they weren't sure. That survey also found that 33% of Americans said they think it should be illegal to eat roadkill. I'm very concerned about those 5% of people who said they weren't sure. Yeah, what's the crackpot? I actually had no thought when you're thinking that, I'm sure

you would talk to you after done to you. I'm sure I've eaten roadkill, but I like I couldn't

“identify the answers of it. Phil, who did the best in the chat? 18.8% you said 18 or 19 in the chat?”

You know your name. Wait a go. Okay. Well done, Phil. Our second question is what percentage of meet-eater listeners would rather get attacked by a black bear than a bison? Hmm. So they were asked, would you rather be attacked by a black bear or a bison? What percentage of listeners said they would rather get attacked by the black bear instead of a bison? Hmm. Corey, which one would you pick? Would you rather be attacked by a black bear or a bison?

Black bears are little bitches. Okay. Yeah, I feel like it's a pretty easy call, and I'm just hoping that the meet-eater listeners know what they're thinking about. Look percentage of their every listeners would rather get attacked by a black bear than a bison. Do you like you could fight off a black bear or rather than a bison? Hmm. Randal any input? Black bear or bison? Which one you put? I mean, I feel like

yeah, it's fairly obvious. Only black bears kill that many people. Okay. And we consider how few bison there are. Hmm. And it seems like someone gets killed by one every year at Yellowstone. I mean, that's probably just statistically completely inaccurate, but but you're not going for the right answer. You're going for what meet-eater listeners said. One percentage of them would rather get attacked by a black bear. So I feel like they know

their stuff than a bison. Is everybody ready? Yep. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Ooh. We have Randal saying 72%. Yannis 75. Cori 69. Alex 77. Maxwell 73. Jake says 60.

next closest? Maybe Cori? How many did you say? Cori got himself one point there. It's estimated

that two people a year are attacked by bison in America with those encounters almost always

happening in Yellowstone for black bears. It's about a dozen attacks each year. In the last 120 years in America, there have been two fatal bison attacks and 63 fatal black. Oh, I was completely wrong. What did you say? I said it seems like every year there's you hear about someone getting killed by a bison. It's just not true. I feel like we have one recently that maybe that. And that's probably cloudy. So 60% said they would rather get attacked by a black bear

instead of a bison. All right, here is the third and final question. This question is not about our fans. It's about you guys. What percentage of pickups in the meat eater parking lot were backed into their spot yesterday? Oh, I know one. I know two. What percentage?

“No, I know two. Seth wasn't here. So that isn't that's why I thought about it when I”

park today. What percentage of pickups in the meat eater parking lot were backed into their spot yesterday? Yesterday. Damn. I know what it looked like today because I thought about this as I backed. Why is nobody backing in today? Oh, really? Across your mind. Yeah, it's nice to be able to go straight out of your spot. Who has points in here so far? I think we have. I do. It's just like trivia Spencer Goose. Okay, Max and Randall have not at all. I see her doing the same.

We may have a tie or we may have a winner after this. What percentage of pickups in the meat eater parking lot were backed into their spot yesterday? And you went out and counted? I went out and counted. That's what time. It was when I got here because then I also parked. I'm not going to tell you which direction. I know which one which direction you parked. Okay. Yeah. He's one of those that thinks it's not going to matter. I don't think that's true at all. Do you have any idea quickly? I can back up.

I do it without thinking. I'd basically, on how busy the parking lot is. If it's like very

smooth to back in, I'll back in if it's convenient. If it's not, I'll just go in regular. I just have more confidence back and up. You mean backing into a spot or backing out of a spot? Back into a spot. Yeah. Even if it's like there's no other cars in the parking spot.

“I still back up. Yeah. Do you have to be like busy or you should back in? Yeah. But it”

makes the exit safer. Is everybody ready? Hold on. What percentage of pickups in the meat eater parking lot were backed into their spot yesterday? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says 37. Yannis says 50. Corti says 47. Alex says 93. Maximus says 87. Jake says 85. The correct answer is 64.8% of pickups. Me neither truck who who was the closest there. None. I feel like Corti is 14 on maybe. 64.8. Yannis, you were the closest. I think that makes you the winner today. You

got four points at the end of the game. No, no, that only gave me two. Two, just now. Yeah. You

have three. Yannis wins anyway. Unless who was second close? Nice job, man. I guess maybe me.

And so you got to have two points. Yannis are winner. That was 11 out of 17 pickups. It's far less common to back into your parking spot at me, either if you drive an SUV or a car. And that 65% of backwards parkers is way way above the national average studies show that between six percent and 13% of American drivers back into their spot. China is the opposite where it's estimated that 88% of drivers back into their parking spot. They're way ahead of it. So at me,

you need your HQ at 65% of the pickup drivers. In China, 88% of all drivers back into their spot. I'm with Corti. Try to go try it out. I'm, you know, I'd probably have to try on that one. Yeah. But in a major parking lot, the pickup drivers, they're the ones who were backing into their spots. I wonder what they'd teach them in China. I just think it's interesting that in this room, there's three or four different reasons that people are choosing to back into a spot.

“And so I'm wondering now, what is there belief in China as to why you should do that?”

For me, it really comes down to whether or not I'm texting actively. Why the flotties you to pull straight in if I'm texting? Kids, he's making jokes again. Yeah, I shouldn't do that. Yeah, series. Yani's going to stick around for one more segment than he has to go. I am okay. Our next segment is a hot tip off. Oh, I'll do it.

untrue. But I, that's the one, just because we do hot tip ups almost every week and it's the most

“grading kind of intense drop that I have. I like Japparone, but you apologize to Japparone.”

I'll see those hot tips. Here we go. See if I can actually do it correctly this time. Colin Hartford. Let's go to an immediate group. Today I've got a hot tip coming at you from Mozilla, Montana. Hell yeah. My name is Colin Hartford. Today we're talking about keeping our meat good and we're processing our wild game at home. My hot tip is to have two buckets when we're doing any kind

of grinding. My first bucket tote where we want to call it has my meat in this case it's sausage.

The bottom one has a layer of ice. It's the bag ice that we crunch up through on the bottom. Have a two bucket system. It's kind of like a double boiler, but it keeps everything cold.

“It keeps all your meat from getting warm in between the freezer, the grinder, and the actual”

finished product. It keeps everything cold. It keeps everything better. Also, strap some kind of ice pack to your grinder. How you use electrical tape or painters tape whatever you've got. The tape ice pack ice block whatever you've got on to your grinder. It'll help keep that system colder. Keep it lasting for longer. Keep that it. Okay, nice. Patterson.

Hey, this is a kale Patterson from Colorado Springs and this is my hot tip. Hopefully it makes it in before radio live ends. I'll be a sad day. A shout out to Phil for all the jingle

so my A to T told you Phil is when you're grinding meat or making sausage. At the end there's always

that last little bit left. You can throw some ice cubes in there or even just some plain white bread and it pushes that last little bit out. The ice cubes is also just a decent thing to throw in there. If you're doing a large batch helps cool off the inside. Hope that helps somebody. Phil is going hard to fill is going to allow the chat to vote now. It is Colin who has the ice tote trick or kale who has the bread in the grinder. Both of these about grinding meat.

Yani before you leave, who are you voting for? The ice tote trick or the bread in the grinder. Yani. It's tough. It's tough. I mean, those are two really good tips. I'm probably more likely to use the tip about getting the meat your last little bit of meat out of the grinder. I'm going to go with number two. The ingredient that gets my vote as well. Corey, which one are you picking? Got to keep your meat cold and go gris. Okay. He's giving it to Colin

for the ice tote trick. Maxwell, do you have an opinion? Number two. Number two. He likes the bread or ice in the grinder. I've actually used that and it works for an nominal. Phil, is it a close one? So if you are watching currently and you have not voted, get in there and let your voice be heard. Alex and Xami grind meter. You're going to use either one of those hot tips. Number two. Number two. He's also voting for the ice or bread in the grinder. Jake, what do you think?

I mean, I like number one better, but to Janice's point, I think I'll actually use number two. Okay. Randall, who did not see the hot tips? Would you like to give an opinion?

“Yeah. I think what's most important is what the chat thinks. Okay. Phil, let's wrap up the voting in”

the chat. Okay. It's still tapping out there, guys. It is getting closer Spencer. I know we're running long, but it's the last episode. It's the last episode. Yeah. After this, Phil, before you wrap up the poll, would you like to check in on the tattooers? What do you think? Yeah. Jake, if you want to

head out there and enroll, we'll cut to you on a second. Okay. So we are going to wrap up voting

here shortly. We will check in on the tattoos and then I think we'll do some listener feedback. Oh, no. Jake, can I just say bye? Say bye. Yes, please. Please appreciate it, gentlemen. Yes. Thank you. Thank you, YouTube. Capponing this ship on its final journey straight to the bottom of the ocean to the bottom. It's been a fun run. Yeah. I had a lot of laughs. We've had some laughs. And the thing is,

even though we're sun setting this one, we're also giving birth to a new one. And I believe that

guys better bring your humor game a little bit more. But three of us, we're going to keep laughing.

Also, I don't know if you heard that your heart was kind of dry. Yeah. Yeah. All right, ending the poll and the winner with only 53% of the vote is kale with the bread in the water. Wow, you gave me honey. Honey is leaving me honey. He's going to tell us. He's going to

“give us one animal call before he leaves though. What do you got for us, honey?”

Oh, sorry. You probably just wrecked someone's car on the highway. Malt, your call. Malt, Malt, Malt, Malt, Malt, Malt. We're going to get an update on the tattooing. Take us live to the room next door, Phil. Let's see how it's going over there. Oh, we have Jim in the chair. How are you, Jim? Jen, I don't know if the audience has met you. Have you been on trivia? No, for Johnny. Okay, Jen, why don't you introduce yourself and let us know

what you do here at Meteor. Okay, I'm Jen, and I'm events and marketing operations coordinator. Right on, so we got the the famous HQ internet is, uh, oh, no, not on up. We're back. Jen, one tattoo. Are you getting today? I am going to get a little behind my free real estate, but present my daughters. Love it. I like it. Very good. It looks like she's adding to what is already a quarter sleeve. Are you going to go for a full sleeve someday, Jen?

Yes. You are. Okay. You, you've got employed here just at the right time to be able to get this, uh, fret free tattoo on the books. Go. Jen is the brains too. The brains and the muscle behind the live, the meteor live tour. So if you enjoyed our live tour, Jen is the one you

have to thank for that. Uh, let us talk to our tattoo artist for a second. Baker is that that's his

name right? Yeah. Uh, Baker, who has handled the tattoo the best so far? Hmm. Hard to say.

“Oh, okay. You can remember the name that's not really well today. Was Brody being a little baby?”

He did pretty good. Okay. I mean, I'll call him out because I was out there when we weren't live streaming Brody at one point yelled out. It really hurts up there. Yeah. I heard that too. That is true. That is true. He did. That's really hurt. Okay. Okay. Jen's like, please stop distracting this man as he does a permanent alteration to my skin. All right. We'll let you go now. Thanks, guys. Thanks, everybody. We got a couple more hours of Baker in the studio. I'm sure

we'll check in again. Phil, do you want to do a listener feedback at this moment? Oh, goodness. Yeah. Sorry, guys. We haven't checked in on listener feedback for a super long time. I'm sure there have been great questions. Right now, it's mostly neat poll answers. Um, and so what would you would we like to fit in the office tour shortly or do you want to say? I think we should do that

“when I sit down in the chair. Yeah. So I think I think I think there might only be a couple people”

left before it's my my turn. Um, so we can do some other stuff. So Randall could do movie club. I know we've got a room full of people here. So I don't know if we want to. We could play the prices right. Um, we could do a cameo from Phil. Uh, we could do the movie club. What do we think? Yeah. Let's go ahead and do, um, we could do my cameo. Okay. Okay. Let's plan and then if we if we want to do prices right after that. That sounds perfect. Let's see how Phil spent his $100.

Sure. Now, these were, um, initially going to be a surprise for each other, but Randall and Phil were so giddy about their cameos that they shared them with each other. I have resisted that urge so far, but, uh, they were just so happy. They didn't. I'll show you mine if you show me yours. So it's not even surprise for them, but it will be a surprise for me and everyone else in the studio. Let's see this. Yeah. I think it's, I think it's good to do right before we do prices right

because, you know, Spencer, you're one of my favorite game show hosts. Mm-hmm. Oh, okay. So it's this gentleman. Hey, radio team life. Congratulations, you guys. This is Richard Carn. It's a cool time. Slute. To you guys, Phil wants you to know that he just feels like you did a

bang-up job. And I'll tell you what. I've never actually watched media radio live, but I heard

it was pretty amazing. Oh, my gosh. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Spencer, you are an amazing game show host. Wow. Come on. Don't worry about what Steve says. Oh, there's no, I know. Survey says. Anyway, congratulations, you guys. I job done well. That's all. I'll enjoy it. Wow. He's looking good. He said, you know, an image in Slack that we should get to at some point.

on him and who were some of the folks that you decided not to buy on cameo? I mean, honestly, once

“he was one of the first guys I saw, and you know, I was a home improvement guy. He is my favorite”

family feud host with all due respect to Louis Anderson and him and Steve Harvey. Richard Dawson, Richard Karn. And also, he played Maya's dad on pen 15, and I thought he was

incredible, and it was a super underrated performance. So, uh, one underrated show in general.

Oh, oh, you're a wall of pen. If you haven't seen pen 15 on Hulu and you grew up, and you're about the same age as as everyone in this room, yeah, you could really watch it. That's great. Phil, Richard Dawson was a host. Oh, sorry. I thought you were getting Richard Karn's name wrong. Ray Comes, Louis Anderson, Richard Karn, John O'Hurley, and Steve. John O'Hurley, he, you would know him from Seinfeld. He's like the big tall guy with the kind of the gray pompador.

I'm blanking on his character's name. He was like a lanes boss or something, but he's like, oh, yeah, Mr. is a Peter, Mr. Peter, yeah. Okay. But, yeah, Richard Dawson. Hell of a good for their fill. Hell of a good pull. Good cameo. Okay. Moving on, our next segment is the price is right.

I realize I don't have the script up. That's okay. We'll just enjoy the music for a second.

Everyone get their whiteboards and come on down. Jerry, come on down. Oh, Max Bardot. You can come on down as well. I guess Alex, you're here. You can come on down. You're the next five contestants on meteor radios. The price is right. Now, here's your host Spencer New Hall. Thank you Phil. This is our biggest game of price is right. We have five players in here. It's going to be extra competitive. Now, this game is

“really simple. Phil is going to tell you about a product from the meteor universe and you need to”

guess its price to play with the closest answer without going over will be declared the winner. If every player goes over, then you'll all be told to try again. And the chat will play along as well because whoever has the closest answer will maybe get a shout out from Phil. Maybe they'll just shout out themselves. That's what the do. Okay. There are three products up for bid today. Phil, get us started. Our first item up for bid today is a 2023 snow bear XP. This isn't just a mobile

ice-fishing shelter. It's a totally badass roving ice fishing fortress of masculine luxury. With every bell and whistle, this top of the line snow bear has a propane grill satellite TV surround sound LED internal lights and a thermostat control furnace. Oh, yeah, and four ice holes. In case you forgot that this vehicle is for fishing. Thank you, Phil. This is the best things you do. This particular snow bear is a 2023 model that has 46 hours and 232 miles on it. It's available

right now in Cicitin South Dakota at Glacial Lakes snow bear. You guys need to guess its price. Max has a large advantage here. This is, you know, right in his wheelhouse. Max, have you ever been inside of a snow bear? Yes, I have. You have a times. Okay. Was it a successful trip? Did you catch some fish?

Yeah, no, it's always fun in the snow bear. Must be nice. Nice and warm and you're catching fish and

you don't even, you don't even have to go outside. You don't. It's up and down. When you're fishing, lifts up, grab across the lake, the new spot, down it. That's tough. You just relieve yourself in the hole. You can, yeah. And just drive to a new hole and depending on a number one number two.

“That's what you're, did you say? It's a 2023 46 hours, 26 hours, 232 miles and it is a snow bear”

XP. You can't go over it. My father caught this hole. Well, most of his guide didn't out of one of these. Really? Wow. Does he own the thing? Yes. Oh, yes. I mean here. Oh, yeah. Good in here. That's some day, Max. Not good for you. Not what I live in Montana. Oh, okay. Yeah. Maybe Max will be the owner of snow bear someday. Again, you cannot go over with your guess. Is everybody ready? Corny is making a funny face at Rand. Corny's, Corny's playing the game here. Okay.

Corny's going low. Well, but you're going a little higher. I don't know, buddy. Ready. Yeah. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying $199 dollars. Towley says $29,000. Alex says $24,500. Maximus says $43,999. Jake says $40,000. That's pretty close.

that was the only one who went six figures. So he's going to get that. They're not a doubt. My mind that the things six figures. That's the price of it. Just a pickup truck these days. That's the most expensive snow bear for sale at Glacial Lake. No bear. The cheapest is $1,114 snow bear TL, which is 52,000. So even if we gave you a model that was nine years older and a lesser

set up 52,000. Still cost you. So Randall gets that first point well earned. Fill how the chat do

“there. I see her. I think every person got it right on the money. They did. Greg Lee's in the chat.”

Oh, we're going bread. We're glad you're good guy. Yeah. That is a good. That's a heck of a good guy. Welcome to meat eaters 12 and 26 presented by multi-mobile and on-ex maps. 12 of meat eaters biggest and baddest hunts from the last year released throughout 2026. These are long-form episodes so you get more of what you love. The first one up is my baited bear hunt in Manitoba. If you've ever wondered what a baited bear hunt is like, you'll love this episode. My favorite part was watching

a younger bear spend an hour trying to figure out how to get a creatively hung beaver carcass down from a tree. Check it out now on meat eaters YouTube channel and be on the lookout for more 12 and 26 in the coming months. Okay. Fill. How about item number two? How about it? Our next item up for bid is a cameo from Bay Winkleman. Ooh. Instead of spending your harder and cameo dollars on a message from Jim Shocky or Slokmaster Tim Wells, hire V. Bay Winkleman.

Does your high school senior need some words of encouragement on graduation day? Or maybe your bachelor at party could use a pre-game pep top? Yeah. Or did your buddy John who likes to fish a click? Like, Yuri, have a life altering medical emergency and now you think three minutes of fishing advice might help him pull through? Well, we know just the man for the job. Here's a video from Bay's cameo page that promotes his services. Now pull that up here. Buckle in.

We've got a three minute video now coming from Bay Winkleman. This is what he has on the front page

“of his cameo for why you should buy Bay Winkleman's cameo.”

I'm going to pull up the, uh, here it is. Hello, Dan. This is Bay Winkleman and this is a special request from your good friend John. I understand that you love to fish and you've been a fan of the show for a long, long time and you fish Lake Yuri. You probably didn't know that I

filmed the first show ever on Lake Yuri. I didn't know that. And put it out back years ago.

And it was incredible and I mean, it just... Thanks, Bay. I filmed so many different places Lake Yuri over the years from Buffalo, New York down to Dunkirk all the way around even some on the Ontario side. Plus the mommy river and I was the guys that released the Detroit river to people too. And that was pretty crazy. But I understand you have a passion for fishing that just won't quit. If anybody can relate with that mister, it's me. I've had a passion since I turned five

years of age and with my dad just bought a new farm and I had a creek run into it. Now I was

standing on the bridge, a looking into the water. I could never seen water before. I'd never seen

a stream before a river or anything on the farm that we had been on. And while I was looking down there the second day, I seen a bunch of fish swimming to a big swirling amount of water. And Eddie, I didn't know what an Eddie was at the time. It's only half of it. And it was really cool. My dad fixed me up with a rod and reel and he made me dig some worms. I got him on there and caught 15 big striped suckers, which we all ate every one of them. But that was my start.

And it's never left me. Don't leave it leave you no matter what happens. I don't think it could.

“I think that you love to fish like I do with every cell in your body. I mean anything outdoors for me.”

Fishing hunting just being there. I love to see good sunsets and sun rises and hell yeah. I've we filmed the other day and I got the blue moon rising at night we were out fishing which was cool. You can do all of those things yet. I understand you had a hard attack and I understand as well that you're doing good since then. So more power to you is all I got to say and keep fishing no matter what. You can fish till you there's nothing left for of you. All of us can.

once in a while and that's fine too. Particularly if you know there's you got a good chance to

“get in the bite there that helps a lot. Love not suggesting you do that but I mean there's a lot”

of ways to go fishing and a lot of ways to enjoy it and I wish for you to enjoy them all. So good fishing to you man. I appreciate you as a fan and I appreciate you as a citizen, a true American. Have a good night. What's in the cup, baby. I tell you I'll be able to come in with you guy Randall. I mean like I got serious and you've had out of the guy at a medical issue but up until then Phillip mentioned earlier like if the guy had a bad day fishing I thought he was just I literally thought

he was like encouraging him just not stop fishing. Which he is for a good reason but you kind of took a turn there for me. Yeah it was a plot twist two minutes in his view. So babe says on his cameo page he likes to help celebrate weddings, anniversaries and retirements. That's the cameo big three. So what is it cost to get a personalized video just like that from the babe.

Winkleman. Have you guys ever done a cameo request? No never. I know these three have

been in this last week. Yeah I got to ask how much was Santa? $100. Okay it's worth it right. Money well spent. I'm gonna just send that sand to the letters. $100 is every now and then. Well you're in the naughty list. Is everybody having an answer for what it costs to do a babe Winkleman cameo. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says $240. Corby says $139.99. Alex says $400. Maxine says $79.99. Jake says $150. The correct answer. This is incredible. It's $80.

What a bargain. The correct answer. Shit. I know that. I would have gotten a babe. I got enough. Max. Nice. Right. A little shady. Yeah did you cheap man? I did it. What happens in price rate if you get it right on the. Oh this bells and whistles. What does happen? Oh man I

“have a question here's I'm trying to get like I think you win the you win the thing you've been”

showcased. I don't remember. What's the third item? You get an extra $1,000 or something like that. Okay only we had computers to figure this out in the meantime. Let's do our third and final item ever from me. This is right. But it like that. Our final item up for bid today is every single item from Bass Pro shops. That's right. You're bidding on every single item from Bass Pro shops website. Spencer may have killed three dolphins and sacrificed seven acres of rain

for us to get chat GPT to produce this answer. But it was worth it. Because maybe you need a radio live isn't about the outdoors or conservation or friendship but instead it's about the bits we got to do along the way. Wow. So just one of everything. Every single item that's right touching words. I don't know. Yeah you are bidding on what it would cost to buy every single thing that's currently sold on Bass Pro's website. What could that number possibly be? Fill was right. If you

have an exact bid that they call it the perfect bid. The bell rings you win a prize and you receive a $500 cash bonus. Since 1998 the cash bonus is gone up. No it's been $500. The original was only a $100 thing. I can't believe they only give you $500 bucks for mailing it like that. Yeah

should be home. I've heard stories of Randall getting kicked out of bars and I've never believed

it because he's such like a nice friendly guy for the most part but you get seven hot dogs and two course lights in him and I can totally see it. He becomes the random one at that point. That's eight

“hot dogs fill. Oh my apologies. Every single item from Bass Pro's website. Is everybody ready?”

Who has a point to if our max has a point? I get a point. If you all tie though Max is going to be the victor since he was one penny off of his correct. And I will say I don't want to get to win a lot. You know. So one of the first ones I just I happened to see was pretty dang close. So I'm going to I'm going to call you out. Okay. You did pretty good. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have

Randall saying 30 million dollars. Corey says 67 million. Alex says 120 million. Max is going low.

He says a penny. Jake says 750,000. The correct answer is 8.1 million. That is Jake.

Baby Lincoln was just a penny off. Now I'm kicking myself because I wrote 80 and then erased it. No one did do. Wow. Just now. 750,000. That is roughly 32,000 items for an average price of 250 dollars per item. Well done Max. And thanks for playing along everybody. Remember,

“help control the pet population. Have your pets spade and neutered. Fill. Who in the chat?”

Well, Steven Vasquez gets 7.86 and he was one of the first people to guess. That's sick. That was pretty

good job. Steven 7.86. Fill. What would you like to do next? Should we do the next hot tip off that we have? Yeah. Let me just pull up the video here because I don't have it. Ready. Okay. Our next segment is hot tip off. It's not going to play the sound this time. Alright, hot tip off. Who do we have today, Phil? Steven Mark. Steven Mark. Hey, I'm eating a lot of cruise. Steven Lock coming from the eastern shore of Virginia and

I got a hot tip for all the dog owners out there. So I got me a nice old dog the other day.

And I'm sitting here across this and it out. And as you're trimming up your backstrap or your

“hands or whatever, you're left with all these little trimmings and silver skinny bits.”

I know y'all like myself don't like the way anything. So these are valuable. You take them. You lay them out on a sheet pan. You can use the hydrator or throw them into like a air fryer setting on your oven and dehydrate them out. And it turns into great little dog treats saves your money. It uses all your little trimmings, less waste on your deer. And yeah, it's a hot tip. Thanks. Well, they can. They're fading. Hot tip of the day, if you got a dog that loves to retrieve,

but it is like to do their victory laps and you'll run around you a couple of times. And what I'd like to do is string up a rope. This one's fairly long. We're working on a longer retrieves. Leash, care being a clip. So what this allows you to do is funnel them towards you. No matter how bad they want to take that victory lap to the right or the left. Ready, Ranger? Fush it. So there you go. It's great for older dogs that I've outgrew that puppy

in the hallway. So here you go. He's picking it up. Now he's forced to come back towards me. He wants to break to the right. But can't go boy, Ranger. Go boy. There we go. Hot tip of the day. Man, tough call. Yeah, dog, dog. Filly, man. A fill is going to allow our chat to vote. It is Stephen Locke with the dog treat scraps or Luke Middleton with the dog zip line. Max, I'm going to give you my vote here. That means you get two votes in the room. Do you like the dog

treat scraps or the dog zip line? I like the dog treats. Okay. That's Alice Moore.

“I think I like the idea for number two. It has a good premise behind it, but I don't think it's”

practical in all situations. I'm going to go with number one. Max is number one. Any other opinions in the room? I mean, Stephen gets my vote just for the accent. Yeah, I like this energy. Good vibes, dog guy. Yeah, we need a little bit of energy in here, huh? The skin is sleepy in here in the room. Yes, it is very random. It has to host an office tour for about 30 minutes. Very coming up soon. I'm going to get some steps in. Yeah, the dog thing, I like it. It seems a little

I don't know. aspirational. Yeah, I've always just like when we had a dog that wouldn't bring it

back and would just play a keepaway. I just tie a 30-foot piece of paracord to his collar. And so when he got near you and then tried to get away, you just step on the paracord and walk down it and trap him. Okay. It just seems easier. But I like that. I would have voted for the dog zip line, but Max has my vote and he says dog. Visually, it's very interesting. Yeah, I was just thinking about how I trained my dog and like I trained her to like go to a place, like a

kennel or something like that. So like after so it like it didn't really matter about the straight line. It like she came back and went to that kennel. So or that place board or at my side at heel. So yeah, I've got to go with the thriftingness of salvage in all your meat. It's free other animal I kill. I try and do that, but I ended up just throwing the wards of meat in the freezer and then I get lazy and end up tossing that a year and a half later. I'll grind the scraps into

meat. Before we wrap up the polling, our next thing is you're going to be some listener feedback.

And then after that randle, if you're ready, we're going to do an office too. Yeah, might as well. Okay, okay, Phil, how is the voting? It is. This is the closest contest. So far. It's 50, 50 right now. So if you have no voting, it will give you another 30 seconds. Somebody break the tie. We can't give out another $100 gift card today. Yeah, this whole thing will just collapse. The Rock Solid Foundation will crumble. Phil, once that tie is broken, you end that polling.

Tell us who gets the gift card. Okay. Come on. Oh, Jesus. It was it was broken. I'm going to came back together. Oh, so I don't know who won. Okay. All right. We're live. Nobody gets a gift card. Everybody gets a gift card. No, we get a gift card. Randle gets the gift card, I guess. Randle, what are you going to spend that gift card on at the meet in your store? We're going to have a beaver hoodie, huh? Hmm. Meet snacks. You know, I like that. I like that brown hat I just got. So someone

wore more of those brown hats. So the poll ended at 50 50 and someone asked, hey, how good the poll be split if there was an odd number of votes because there was 253 YouTube does not give me the decimal point. It only only rounded numbers. So someone did win. Let's just give up. Let's just get a $100. And you make it to meet your HQ in the next 45 minutes. You're going to tap too as well.

“That's how we're breaking the tie. Each one of them is getting a $100”

meet eater gift card today. I think we have a couple hot tip offs left or that's it for meeting ready to believe we have one more hot tip off. I think that was number five. Okay. All right. Phil, let's do some listener feedback. Oh, goodness. I have to actually read the chat now. Why don't you guys talk about something until I find? Phil, just a quick question. Should I use the same link that I got yesterday for our tour? No, it will be a different link and I will send that.

Oh, I will send that to you soon. Sorry. I didn't have to actually read. We have chili at a chili ready. Well, he joined the call but his camera and microphone are off. Chili, if you can hear us

over there or if this, oh, he's turning it on. Should we do this first? Yeah, yeah, okay.

I really do want to set this up. Yeah. So, uh, chili. Chili is on the scene in downtown

“Boseman, Montana. I actually don't want to ruin the surprise. Chili, can you hear me?”

Yes, I can't hear you. Get out of that nasty weather. Make a dynamic entry into the meeting or store, please. And find Alex. The store boy has been live streaming this all day. Wow. We didn't give them any heads up. And now our faithful jack of all trades, Austin chili Brad. Oh, yeah, store boy's live on radio live. Oh, what a big John. Oh, yeah, happy birthday John. Oh, is it your birthday today? Oh, there's a couple of days ago. A couple days ago. Max is wrong.

Yeah, you look great. How old are you? I am 28 now. 28 man. God, you know, it's to be 28. Again. Chili head on back there. Where's Alex? Where's Alex Zimmer's store manager extraordinaire? You got we got we're little here. Oh, yeah, that's a good dog. Here's the be out of the store. Alex is here. Oh, no. He's not there. Who's managing this place? Alex, the dog is Kate. Oh, yeah. Because, uh, is Kate there? Nobody's here. It's just John and the

dog. Oh, they're not nobody. He's go talk to them. I saw one of the store boys was getting a tattoo. Chili next door. Chili. Let's bring us back to the front here. John, you're going to be the store manager standing here. This is Randall Williams, meteor radio live. You're live on the Grand finale live extravaganza. I'm just wondering, I know you guys are loyal members of the meteor radio live audience. How are you guys dealing with the fact that this show is getting canned? Oh, man.

Well, we've had, we've had it playing since 11 o'clock sharp and I would say this episode here has been just a smidge unhinged and we've had a lot of people walk by the TV and like stop in their tracks and like tune in to rent some subjects that we've been covering, but uh, it's been very entertaining. We've been loving it. We've been laughing. Yeah. What's what's your favorite episode of

meteor radio live from like the first half of its run? Like early 2025, late 2024. Oh,

“well, I don't even know, my current member. I surely could remember one episode of fake fans. They're”

all so memorable. I might have been working while I was watching. Oh, yeah, a lot of them. I might not even have been working. That's okay, John. Hey, let me ask you another question. If we were going to continue this show for another say 15 months, what are some guests you'd love to have seen

on down. Hey, we love it. Good. That's a good guy right there. All you guys are good guys.

Hey, uh, so who would you like? I mean, other than yourself, you guys are all welcome when Alex gets back to leave him there and come down to the studio. Uh, any favorite segments from radio live? You guys have any, I mean, what is the show meant to you? Yeah, watch there, watch them readily. Yeah, I thought it was pretty cool too. Yeah, yeah, we got to have dirt in the store. Oh, we should do a, we should do a Pat Durkin, a Pat Durkin night at the meat eater store.

Uh, guys busy today. A lot of foot traffic. It's snowy outside. That's too much. There's a couple people in here shopping. You can go in every day. Uh, what's the Randall hot ball count out to you? It's just eight. We ran out. All like to go back tomorrow. Yeah, well, I don't know. It's probably not good for me. Who's actually in charge in there?

I guess it's funny. Johnny driving over the past night, roads look a little, uh, roads look a little tough out there. Yeah, I'll be interesting. I'll see you on the side of the road. Yeah. Yeah, I'll see you in the titulator. I might fall asleep behind the wheel. Uh, yeah, I didn't really think through how we'd end the segment. So, um, if you guys have any final

thoughts for a radio live audience, uh, just, or maybe what this shows meant to you, you can feel

free to share that now. Um, it's been great. The meat eater radio live has always been great

“background audio. You see. Yeah. Do you find it helps sales or hurt sales?”

It definitely like gives the wives and kids something to do with it. That's a great opportunity for sales more than anything. I'd say. Um, yeah, it's a great kid's the wife, so it's good to shopping. Well, yeah, you guys are, you guys are natural. See, that's a great answer. I'm glad we had chilly drag over there just for this. Yeah, chilly. Sorry about that. Uh, we appreciate your, your real team player,

drive safe on the roads. And, uh, maybe we'll see at the cannery later. Yeah. See, see what's the can. All right. Take care, boys. Hi, Julie. Thanks, Julie. Man, that's a bunch of good guys that work in the store. If, uh, if Randall were, we got

“top three list, come in later. If you were to do his top three favorite humans, I think all three”

would be store boys. Oh, yeah. I love it. They make me feel young. Yeah. They kind of, they need a reality show. Yeah, just like, especially. Yeah, for sure, especially boys, especially at the house. Yeah, like a 24/7 reality show. Yeah, you know, from the store boy's house is cool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's got a lot of, a lot of aquariums and terrariums. The other day, so I'm neighbors with them, sort of, the other day, I was like, with my wife, pulled in laundry in our master bedroom.

Something that's never occurred in their house. Yeah. I'm not. It was at our house. And like, we

hear this, just loud, obnoxious, something just cruising down the street. That was fun. It's in our driveway. It's K down his new to him motorcycle. It's like a 1980 motorcycle, like a tricycle. But yeah, it was just obnoxious. That's great. Yeah, three weeks. K stored a boat at my house for like 10 days. It was rough shape. Is he hiding it from someone? No. It was like a boat that was in his family and he was going to fix it up. But then it, he needed some place to store it before he could

“get it to like his dad's place or so. I don't really remember, but I just get it. And then one”

time he texted me is like, hey, we just like messed up my truck on Livingston Peak. Do you have a bunch of wire that we can use to attach my muffler? So just, you know, there's like a lot of happiness and joy in this world that comes from just young dudes doing, doing interesting stuff. You got some of the chat saying that there is Taco Bell on route to the HQ. Oh my god. That was Collegander. Collegander. You're real one. Randall better do it.

Oh, she's finger in her skull. Oh, my goodness gracious. Our celebration there would be gets her profile picture on YouTube is her in the meaty to store hanging with store boys. That's awesome. That's awesome. Yeah. Alec, man. You missed your window. Sorry buddy. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Oh, really quick. I'm going to make a new audio file for the podcast version. YouTube will not be affected. I'll not upstairs. My. Yeah. It's a meaty to read your life. Thank you. Okay. We're not doing listener feedback right now. I didn't use all $100 of my camera budget on Santa.

of the next meaty to podcast. So, Phil, please play that cameo at words. Good morning, my friends. I feel Randall and Spencer. I want to start off by thanking you so much for your purchase. It is literally because of people like you guys. That support my channel. That support my cameo. That support my TikTok that I can do what I do. So, I just wanted to take a

song second to say thank you and I appreciate all of you guys. So, let's have a look at the question. So, Phil Randall and Spencer are starting a new podcast that covers outdoor news. I like that.

Oh, we're not. We're not doing it. The advice and predictions for their new show. Could you also give advice to fans who are said that their old show is done. All right. So, the first thing I'm going to say is I'm a brutally honest reader. I tell people they're not going to make the unusual every day. I literally do. Let's have a look. Yes, this is actually going to work. Oh, um, I'm seeing that you guys are going to start the podcast. Probably the first four to five months. It's going to feel like if it's

dragging. So, I'm going to warn you guys at the first four to five months. It's not going to be exactly where you want it to be. I don't want you to panic though. That also applies to the last four to five hours. Sort of. Mark, someone discovers you. You are going to be talked about on some kind of a show. And that's going to make a big difference. It's one of this person is this highly influential and is going to give you guys a really cool voice. You guys are literally going to waste the number. Yeah, that's a lot of people tuning in more and it's going to feel grow quite incredible.

“I really think that you guys have a track at this. I think if you guys really push through because the first like six months”

might be a little rougher than you thought. But I'm really really really be popular. You guys can 100% show up, you know, in the top podcast I think you guys are going to win awards for this. Whoa, whoa, whoa,

I've never discovered this situation. It's going to become a long term friend of the podcast. It's going to become someone that you guys can

really, really trust someone that you guys can really really use in your surroundings. And that will constantly help you guys promote. So there's a big blessing there. Honestly, I think you guys are doing the good strategic pivot. I honestly think that you guys are going to be successful. I'm doing it for a really long time. Which is a suit. I see that this podcast coming really big. Now, for the fans that are a little sad, this is a strategic pivot. I'm telling you guys right now, you guys have just started seeing

the Christmas tree. Look at the same cards. This is literally going to blow your mind if you can give them the time to change and to pivot. Yes, things might have changed with the podcast. Yes, what you liked isn't there. But I'm telling you now, the strategic pivot is going to bring you guys so much further with these people. And you guys are going to see your magic and bliss. So I'm telling you guys now, like I literally tell people they're not going to be successful. I really

think you guys are sitting on something. You guys have to put the work in. You guys actually have to push through. But it's going to be really successful. And honestly, you guys are going to be getting major

“rendels because of it. Oh, so amazing. And I think very good. No, you guys. Okay. How much was that?”

Sophie the Canadian which was the, I don't remember the whole breakdown of my budget, but they were about 50. That was, and Spencer, you can explain where the origins of that are. The origins of that. Well, it's a desire to have a show. It was going to go forever. I wanted us to bring in a tarot card reader one day. And I was going to look up where our five most popular states are like Michigan, Texas, Pennsylvania, Colorado. I think those are four of them. She was going to read

tarot cards for hunters and anglers in those states. She was going to read our zodiac signs and say, these two hosts would work good together, but maybe these two wouldn't work so good together, but me did already alive didn't make it long enough. So we had to spend part of our cameo budget on Sophie the Canadian which. So she said there that you guys need to hang with us

for the first four or five months, but then maybe around like August. Man, it's going to turn on.

Oh, wow. And just keep hammering. I like that she was insistent that she tells most people they won't succeed. Yeah. She was very flattering, though, towards us specifically hockey players. Yeah. She does a lot of readings for aspiring NHL players. A lot of junior hockey players.

“How many witches are tarot card readers are there on cameo?”

So there's like a bottom of the barrel cameo. They're categories like under $500 under $250. There's a category under $25. Brando William. That is where Sophie the Canadian witch was that. Yeah, I think about that. I know let's do some lesser feedback for real. And then Randall is going to give you guys the office two of your dreams. Max Alex. Thank you guys for joining us. You can stick around if you want for the office two or you're welcome to go. I got to do two dishes. I got to get some work.

on his office. Yeah. Yeah. I'll see you on the second and third floors.

“Yeah. I think I could do a cameo where people pay a service not to get a video from me.”

Okay. It's like they get a text. It's like one of those sort of, it's like a anti-virus warning. And it's like, if you do not pay $39. Now a video of Randall will show up on your phone. That could be while I could make literally tens of dollars. Yeah. Yeah. All right, Phil. What do you got? This is from scrublife Danny. We'll be ever seeing another spoused trip. Yeah. So it was up there with one of my favorite four one of my favorite episodes of all time.

Good question, Danny. I have it scheduled in April. We just figured out the calendars about two weeks ago. So Corey's wife will be in the housewife in the year when his wife will be here. My wife will be here. And so we are going to be doing that in about eight weeks from now. And the taco bell has just arrived. Call it. Oh, my god, I hope you're seeing this. Oh, there's more to three quick. Oh, you're a hero. Oh, wow. It's something floating at the top of that drink.

“Oh, these are Dilly bars. There is something floating at the top of the one. What is happening there?”

No, Marshmallows. What was weird after Taco Bell season old drinks. So they put candy in there. What is it? There's more. I have no idea. More fan-ordered door to Marsh has just arrived. We thank you. Oh, yeah. One dog. That's good. Should we get those ice creams in the freezer? Somebody going to take one right now. Probably toss them in the freezer. Okay, for now. Hey, Alex, can we send the ice cream with you?

And then Phil has some more listener feedback. Again, ice cream bars. Let's move the club. Sure. This spouse episode is coming in about two months from now. Cool. I'm just going to start grabbing ones that I see. It's a very wide filter here. The dubster says, hey, friends, if you ever considered smoking your clothes with a campfire as a

“means of scent control, I've heard about it, but never tried it. Thoughts?”

No, I've never tried that. I feel like that's doing the opposite of what I want my scent control to be,

which is just zero scent. So I've never done anything around a campfire like that. How about you guys? I mean, I've started campfires in the woods and thought about it. Like, oh, maybe this will help me out. But never intentionally hovering over a fire to mask my scent. But I honestly personally think it would help. Yeah. I smell less of a human might have been burnt tree. It's definitely occurred to me like when I was sitting around a fire after I've been sweating all day.

Like this probably is a good thing, but it's not a strategy that I do actively. With us, you got Bill. Let's see. Seth Stoots or Seth Stoots says, holy crap, still live streaming? Yeah. My thoughts exactly, Seth. We have hours left. I'm pretty sure we said six hours and we're almost at five. So it'd be weird if we weren't doing that. Yeah, and I would say we are going at least an hour over today. Oh my god. Yeah. Uh, someone asked if all the storeboys

live together, the answer is yes. Well, they're like a good, a good number of them. There's like a

healthy, uh, there's a quorum. And I think they rotate in and out a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes, like they go to guide somewhere else. Uh, Randall, what's the best hot dog to beer ratio? It's amazing. It's a good question. Two to one. Two beers to one dog or two dogs to one. It's tough. I mean, because most at a ball game, say you're at a ball game. I mean, if you go to like a snack bar, you get one beer and two hot dogs. Okay. Um, and then you don't get two hot dogs every time

you get a beer. I don't know the math gets tricky. I've always wanted to do the 999 challenge. Yeah. I've always wanted to do that. That means, what does it mean, Randall? 9 beers, 9 dogs, and 9 innings. Um, and I, if I were a smarter man, I would have done it before they did the, uh, the pitch clock. Oh, yeah. Because back in the day, that I feel like it would have been much easier. Now it's like a real tidy, whatever, two and a half hours or something. A couple summers go

Randall is going to a minor league baseball game. And he had said beforehand that he might try the 999 challenge then. Um, and the boon of it was that his wife wasn't going to be there. Oh, yeah. That maybe you can't do that while Sidney's in attendance. Yeah. I just, I mean, it's not like, I mean, she would, it's not like she would stop me from doing it. But I just, it's like having your conscience, you know, like I know that it's not a good. I know it's not a good

No, I don't think she'd be cheering for me. And I feel like she shouldn't. Let's be honest here. Yeah. Let's be honest here. But yeah, I think when I went to the B&J Roddevoo, there was a Mazula paddle heads slash Osprey game that weekend. It's going to happen someday, Randall,

you're going to go throughout a first pitch somewhere. And then after that, they're going to

present you with the 9 and 9. I'd be great. Yeah. Yeah. What else you got, Phil? Yeah, we have Nate saying, who thinks Randall needs to get on cameo exactly. Yep. Did anybody say yes? No. I mean, it might be a, it might be a, it's just, it's just asking if

“anybody thinks this is a good idea. You know what your good should be? You should be, you should”

read taro cards without any practice. Yeah. Just make a guess. I mean, what did make a difference? You tell me, you know, normally, I've got to tell a lot of hockey players that they're not going to make on the NHL. Yeah, I don't believe in you. I don't know what demographic would go for Randall's cameo bill. We've got RT for Liberty who's in the chat often every week. He says about to swap your buds and he's the start. Let's keep it going. So what I like to hear. What does that mean is you're

about to die? Yeah. Show is the only thing dying today. It's the batteries on his, on his earbuds. You're going to go back to the wired. Yeah. Taylor Ferguson asked a bird to get a tattoo.

Yeah. He did indeed. If it was that guy's first tattoo live on me, he'd already alive.

I'm just gonna grab back a few hours back in the Yannis, who tell us how we're probably about two thirds of the way through. Brody came in and showed off his tattoo. See, a lot of questions for Brent and Reeves when he was in the chat. Phil, are you going to get in a tattoo? You think or not? Yeah. When Randall goes off to do the tour, I'm just going to set it full screen and have you guys just ask questions and provide commentary and I'm going to go see how the

on the tattoo chairs do it. Okay. Full screen means that we can see the chat as well. Yes, you will still be able to see the chat. Before that happens, I'm going to do a 10 one. Great. Then I'm ready to be here for a while. Randall, what kind of stuff we have from talk about over there? Randall, you got to try one of these, like, cream-filled synobon doughnut holes. Oh, that, yeah, those come with the, with the breakfast combos. They're, they're not bad. They're

pretty explicit when you bite into them. But they're, they're okay. I mean. So we've got churros and the synobons. Oh, thank you. Oh, like this, the cinnamon twists. No, they're like, they're like little cinnamon doughnut holes. Oh, these are full of, uh, oh, I see the, you're calling a churros. We've got churros too. And, uh, two Baja blast mountain do's

“and a mango refresca that has little dehydrated mangoes, I think. I tried one. Well, it looks,”

it looks like marshmallows. And, if you're watching, this is a good time to take a 10-1 yourself. Or a 10-2, if you're feeling brave. Turn to boss. Oh, I feel like we're going strong. Corey, I apologize. Do you have a hard out today? Not necessarily. No, I'm, uh, taking the next four or five days off after this. Yeah, but I mean, are we going to, are we going to screw up your evening? You know, I should probably hit the road by about five thirty six o'clock.

Yeah, we can do the last couple segments without you. I would imagine so. What time is it? Which it's almost four. Oh, yeah, it's almost four now. Another hour and a half. Yeah. Yeah, since you're asking people are asking you if we're going to get a new studio, sneak peek. Oh, I'm too, I'm thinking we will. I'm thinking so. It's not fully, uh, it's not fully complete, but it is mostly constructed, but, you know, all the knick-knacks and lighting and stuff.

It's not there yet. There is, there is someone in the chat with the last name Henderson. That says they have the same tattoo as Brody. No way. So similar Henderson clan. Yeah, apparently the Henderson clan is strong. Clan identity. Uh, see, we've got Jake. Looks like we've got, we can do a quick tattoo update. Really quick. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Who's even chair now. Oh, it's Riva! My fellow podcast engineer engineer and producer and all things, uh, analytics.

“That's, that's, that's talked to Riva. Oh, going down on the leg. Riva, how's it going?”

Yes. It's going fantastic. Cool. And this is, this is not, this is not your first tattoo that you've got from Baker. Oh, correct. It's done. It's a buffalo skull. That's cool. Oh, wow. You're getting your in your tats. You're getting the company's money. Hey, you're even good for you. Oh, I see. Got you. Nice. Do you wrap it up there then?

Oh, no. I can't understand what I'm watching never mind. Yeah, that's it. It's all good.

hop in the air the sea of honor? Oh, goodness. Okay. Um, so yeah, when I take off,

it feels like sending my kid off to kindergarten on the school bus for the first time and I'm scared.

I'm, I'm nervous, but proud. I'm going to be leaving this room and leaving it up to Jake, who will come in here and run the live tour with Randall, um, just shoot me that link dog. Oh, yeah. That's a good. Also, Jake, uh, could you bring me another coolers light? Please. Um, there was, they, we were out. Oh, no, door dash. God, I've got some in my desk.

“Third floor. I think we have the Mon tuckie down here. Yeah, yeah. Oh, okay.”

It's next. Um, okay. I'm heading over there right now, Jake. Okay. So what is going to happen is fill is going to go get his tattoo. We're going to be flying blind for a little bit. Uh, and in the meantime, Randall Williams is going to give you the best tour of the mid-eater office that you could possibly have. Give him a little feedback. I'm going to let the end of the way to this is his first time, but that's okay. And there he goes. Okay. So you and me Spencer. So right now, we are still looking

at the tattoo artist. Um, and then Jake will soon scurry over here. Oh, look, there's fill Taylor. He was very quick. What tattoo are we getting? I think I'm going to get a highway marker sign of Highway 1 in California, like the one that runs down the coast through the exert. Yeah. One of my favorite places in the world, some of my favorite bands have written songs about that. Is it Ventura Highway? It's not Ventura. Oh, okay. But that's a great song, too. I love the band.

America. Yeah. Okay, Phil. Uh, you make this tattoo quick because we already miss you over here.

How does the fresh air feel out there? It's incredible. And I recommend it. I know you just

were out here, but I don't want to come back. Is that okay? Yeah. That's okay. Okay. We can do this. All right. Uh, we will check in on you later. And then Jake is going to come over here. And he is going to beam up Randall. So we can see that office tour. Uh, before we get to the Randall Williams office to record, uh, you are going on a hunt this weekend. I am. Can we talk about it? Yeah. Okay. What are you doing? What are you hunting for? I was going to go out doing a little

spot and stock hunt for some wolves. A very bad ass hunt to do solo, which is what Corey is going

“to do. Tell us about the logistics, what you have to do. Man, well, with a lack of snow”

in the warm weather, we've had this road that I'd like to access. Typically, you can't get into this zone without a snowmobile. But now I can drive a vehicle and there was actually going to take one of our can-am defenders in there just in case, because we are getting snow at the moment, little mix of snow and rain. So it's going to be sloppy. Got a nice winch on the front in case I need to winch myself out of a hole. But yeah, going for about five days, I got a spot where I've

seen wolves consistently and a spot in stock. And so I'll use predator calls and I'll probably just sit in this one burn where a lot of deer and elk like to winter. And I'm just going to hang out there for about four days. And hopefully catch a pack or a solo, just roaming back through. Do you do any calling while you're there? Yeah, I'll do like just a wounded rabbit or a wounded fawn call, mouth call, and then I'll also set out a electronic call. The wolves you're hunting, what do you

think they're eating this time of year? Deer and elk? Like that's 100% of their diet. Okay, rabbits. Well, there's not too many coyotes in this area because there's so many wolves. Okay. Yeah, Northwest Montana, the balance of predator and prey is a little out of whack up there. You're going to go help it out, though. Yeah, I'm going to do my best. Yeah, it's weathered like that you got coming. Rainy. It's going to be very wet. It's like ride on that like upper 30s,

low 40s, mix of snow at night, rain during the day. So it's going to be quite a first light product

“wear test. There you go. If our new rain jacket holds up long enough, I think it's bad as to go”

do any solo hunt. No matter what it is, even if it's like the most basic thing, just like going out there and doing it yourself and figuring it out and being responsible for your own well being in your own success. And you're doing that at like 10x with this hunt you're doing. I'm very excited to hear how it goes. Oh, yeah. I'm excited. Well, keep your fingers crossed for me just because the access getting in, especially with this weather could be a little iffy, but yeah, thanks. I'll keep

posted. Corey is going to be on our news program next week talking about the wolf. I hope so. Hopefully I bring back a little wolf mate for the next roast episode. We'll see. T.B.D. Okay. Randall is ready to give us the office tour. There he is. Randall, where are we at? And then look, we're going to have all the fishing stuff. Yeah. Oh, can't hear us. Randall can't hear us. Can anybody hear us right now, Jake? They should be able to. I think it's possible his phone.

take uh, he's hanging up. We're live. And then he's going to call back in and try this again.

We're determined to get this office tour off the ground. I have to say, um, sitting here and seeing myself in Phil's camera is in some ways, um, a testament to his good looks because this feels very unflattering. Uh-huh. Yeah. My face is dying, right? Okay. Welcome, Riva. Riva. What are you doing here? Riva. Is here to enjoy? It will give me permission to come and steal the phone. Yes. Please send a button. Take whatever you like. They need it back. Would you

“like any relish or ba-ha blast or half of Randall's chili dog? How about a banana?”

I'll go super well with it. Okay. We're getting a thumbs up from Randall. Should we try again? Okay. Randall is ready to go. Randall, where are you standing? Hello. Guys, I'm standing right here. Oh, my hands covered. I'm standing right here in the kitchen. Where are we filming? Wow. The hit YouTube series, Meteor Rose. Mm-hmm. You'll see right here the refrigerator that you know from Rose? Right there's the stove. Randall, Randall,

yesterday I had heard that that refrigerator kind of smelled. Would you open it up and take a whiff and give us a yes or no on what it smells like? Yeah. Bad or good. Curious. What expired condiments might be in there? Yeah. It smells bad in that one. What do you think is the, uh, it's causing the problems? It couldn't be that happened. I don't really know. He's got his one based on fridge. It's hard to, it's hard to manage the camera and smell the refrigerator.

Stick the phone in the fridge. There's definitely a weird smell. The baking soda we've got here is not really helping. Okay. That's just one half of the fridge. Now he's

“going to open the other half and does that have smell better or worse than the right half?”

There's not much in here. What it just kind of smells like? It smells like a meat processor. Mm-hmm. Okay. When you go to drop off a deer in a butcher when that room smells like that, it smells like a deer. Okay. All right. Continue with the two. It's not terrible. Mm-hmm. So, right now, in the kitchen, we're doing a little secret photo shoot.

No, we're some brand new first-site products. Oh, careful. There is, uh,

any of that stuff. Wow. We did get a little glimpse of the naked mannequin. If somebody is paying close attention, they're going to figure out what we have there. Top secret. There's a big tip right now. And so we've got a, you can see we've got a parking lot out this way. There's Steve's truck in Ryan and Garrett's box. Steve's Steve's still building. And that, that pick up was bagged in. That's correct. So right now we're in the, the meat eater,

the meat eater corporate gym. We've got an exercise bike here. Uh, it's got a little treadmill, got a little stair climber, and some freeways.

“Can you give us an example of a workout you like to do, Randall?”

Um, well, see this box drop thing? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll usually just come in. I usually just come in here and sit like this when I'm supposed to be doing something else because no one looks in here. No one ever expects to find me in here, so I'm just sitting like that. It's pretty free straight forward. Uh, it's a nice quiet room to think in. You can see here, there's a, uh, there's a contest between Garrett and Nate, who can do

the most reps during work. Uh, uh, I don't know what that does for their efficiency. Yeah, who would fall around on work hours? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Seems like a giant waste of company resources. No, okay. What else? I mean, Chili's office. Ooh, the gear room and Chili's office. That's the, uh,

first black bear I ever killed right there. Oh, and I mean, oh,

there's a lot of cameras and stuff. Really expensive stuff in here. No one's supposed to be in here. Chili has, I think the only office that has a keypad lock on it to keep people out of there. True. Yes. That's true. And even if Chili didn't have valuable things in there, it'd probably still lock his door to keep you. Wow. That's right. Okay. Where are you at now? So now I'm now I'm walking past the podcast studio. I can hear him. Oh, wow. This is the entry

way to the podcast studio. Uh-huh. What's going on in there? I'm walking down the hallway now. I'm walking south. And here's Phil getting tattooed. Oh, wow. It's chili. We made it back. Chili, welcome, buddy. They got some sins and a selfie is still on the way. That's nice. Good stuff.

reclining here for the city minutes. It has been incredible. Good. Good. That's much to be good.

Phil, what are all these wires in here for? I don't know, we're five. Wow, three, three. They're still three, four or five tattoos to go. Wow.

“Good work, Phil. Yeah. Oh, he's got to get one. Don't let Spencer check it out. I think it's going to”

get one. Yeah, versus don't let Spencer check it out. Run up that tab in there. We tip well to a leader. What I'm going to do now is give our audience the world's first glimpse at the new podcast studio. Yeah, there's, there's people who work here who haven't even seen in this space yet. Can you turn a light on, man? Do we have those? I don't know. I don't know. Clap your hands. No, I hit the switch. There don't work. No lights. Okay.

Which you can see here. There's some nice wood paneling leather furniture. There's some antlers, a lot of ant's lobe skulls. How's shit? There's a coffee table that I just hit my leg on. Okay. There's, there's what I believe is a whale vertebrae. Uh-huh, from Heather Deville. Yeah, and it's just, uh, it's like a, it's like a little museum of sorts. Mm-hmm. But classy, not like Phil's podcast studio. Right, much better

ventilation on that space. Yeah. Yeah, what's the tampon there? It's actually decent temper right now. It's fairly comfortable. I can't tell that because my body's just feels weird at this point, the hot dogs. Um, I'm gonna take the tour now. I guess, I guess we'll wander around here. Mm-hmm. There's a hallway with some offices. This zone is kind of a mystery.

“I think for most of the office, despite they're being, you know, like a half a dozen employees down”

there, doesn't get a lot of foot traffic. Hey, there's our HR director. She's live on radio live. Oh, great. Did she have a dog with her? She does. Okay, I am. Nice little dog. I think she's going for a dog, a dog, potty break. Mm-hmm. I'm gonna walk down the FHF hallway here. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Look for Paul Lewis. Mm-hmm. They, uh, they share building with us. We are still only on floor one of three floors for the Medeter HQ tour. Randall has to kill enough

time for fill to get an entire tattoo. So, uh, let's, let's look inside every nook and cranny, Randall. There's Paul. There's Paul Lewis, the founder of FHF here. He's running away. He walked away from me. I don't think he wants to talk to us. Yeah. He's one move away from slam in the door on you. Paul's too good at his job for this nonsense. He was like a big distraction to me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Here's Nate Maytruth. Oh, yeah. You're live on radio last. Yeah. But you're live on radio last.

No, no. We've got inception going now. We've got, is it gonna work? Oh, you're, it might be a little delay.

Yeah. How's, how's children doing today? I'm crying. Dude, he's being as dumb as always. Oh,

what's wrong? You got your bones. We'll get you. Nate, how are you doing today? Great man. Just enjoying the olive garden. I wanted some of those cinnamon. There's, there's more in there and she got it up on there.

“There's Nate's decorations. Yeah. And his saver. Hey, Nate. Good guy. Nate, can you do me a favor?”

Yeah. I heard a rumor that on the third floor in the refrigerator. There are some coolers lights. Would you, uh, see if there are any and bring him to me? Dude, time me, bro. We're on our way. Okay. Go Nate. I'm timing you right now. Let's see how quick you can do this. Oh, he's got help too. Oh, go check. Okay. Good. Okay, Randall. Is that exiting the FHF wing?

That concludes our tour of the first floor. Yep. He's now going to walk backwards up the stairs to show

you how talented he is. Nate's making a lot of noise. I think I can hear him. So here we're getting to the, we're getting to the second floor and spreadsheet and take the elevator to get to that one. Oh, yeah. We, we do have an elevator that goes to two of our three floors. Very useful. Um, here's our kitchen. Now here's the highlight of the tour. We're going to go to Phil's office. Uh-huh.

This is the office of Phil Taylor. Phil has a large collection of legos and teaky mugs. Uh, he's probably got the biggest teaky mug

one minute, seven seconds. That is a meat eater office record. That news that all I got to tell him

“is that I'm looking. Okay. He brought us a beer and NAB. You're all by all. Thank you, Nate. I”

do need to get. I'm, we're just going to go. Uh, back with Jake. Oh, in that bag. I didn't know. I have that power. I do need to steal the bottle. Right there with the stroke. Very impressive. Thank you, much, Nate. Welcome to meat eater's 12 and 26 presented by multi-mobile and on X maps. 12 of meat eater's biggest and baddest hunts from the last year released throughout 2026. These are

long form episodes. So you get more of what you love. The first one up is my baited bear hunt in

Manitoba. If you've ever wondered what a baited bear hunt is like, you'll love this episode. My favorite part was watching a younger bear spend an hour trying to figure out how to get a creatively hung beaver carcass down from a tree. Check it out now on meat eater's YouTube channel and be on the lookout for more 12 and 26 in the coming months. Okay, Phil, where are we at now on the tour? Good, welcome. I'm in the, I'm in the conference room where we planned this show yesterday.

Seems like ages ago. refrigerator has been re-stocked. Oh, drinks, some snacks. So that's good.

That's good. If folks, if folks want, I'll show them Seth Morris's office. Yes, please, the new father.

Yeah, this is what, this is what a dad's office looks like. New dad. Yeah, I can see usually Seth usually Seth's right there. Yeah, that's where he sits. I mean, he does pictures and stuff on that. Seth has the best of much about Seth has the best sight line in the office. Show people from Seth's door. How far down the hallway he can see. Oh, yeah, and out in the parking lot. Look at all those backed in vehicles.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's that was four for four pickups were backed in there in our parking lot. Yeah, Seth can see all the way across the building. Wow, it's pretty remarkable. Yeah, that's where it's where it credits. There's Max Tardo. Hey, there he is. And Ruby. Oh, there's Maggie. Work in the magic pose production. She obviously is going to watch. Oh, she's watching the tour. Oh, oh, oh, oh, this is that shit. Thanks for all the support, Maggie Smith.

“Oh, I think it just, I think it just broke the internet.”

Oh, we're down to three digits now. 937. Okay. Yeah, we're losing people Randall. It's time to make this interesting. What do you want me to do? Do you want me to do? Yeah, that was actually we're going to go to Steve. We got, we got to save the live stream falling off. We got to save the live stream we're down to 900. Oh, they're gone. No, it's, it's a mask migration. Why would they leave now? I know, but they want to see where we work. Still, that's three times. Maybe they just have

technical difficulties. Oh, we're back up to a thousand. We did. Okay. Oh, doors close. Oh, I wonder if Steve's door's closed. I don't know if he's busy. Not. Did you not? Hold on one sec. You want to interrupt Steve and an important meeting. Pretty busy. Oh, you're alive. I'm going to meet you to radio. Hey, I can't believe it. Yeah. Steve, tell us about some of your favorite things in your office. Okay. He's he's getting out of his chair. He's looking around. Well, I'll tell you what, see this,

right here. Mm-hmm. This, this, you think, you think you're looking at a polar bear? I would. Yeah. That's black bear that I left in the window for a long time. Really? It's impressive. What other interesting stuff you got? I'm beautiful wife. Mm-hmm. Oh, great photo. Very nice. Yep. Big fishermen. Big fish. Big fish. Yeah. Big fish. She looks happy in that thought.

All she does is fish. You want to talk about a lady's of fish, isn't it?

First on her face says this is where I've always wanted to be. That is one fish in the lady.

Uh-huh. Yep. Yep. That's a fish in the lady. Yeah, she's in her element. Probably fish in right now.

“Good fishing conditions out there. I got you this book. Remember how I was talking about this?”

Yeah. I got it for you for your present. Thank you. Mm-hmm. Oh, wow. Just the brand of the other day

I know I read it this and you told me about it. But then I said to her, I have to read it again

because it's all the perspective of a drug addict. So it needs at least two or three read it. But I really like it when he sits on the truck seat and there's the lady rabbits in the truck seat.

“That's one of my favorite parts. Really cool. Steve, can you show us one or two more things?”

He's read your whole book. Oh, yeah. Can you show us one or two more things in there, Steve? Oh, boy. Oh, yes. Yeah, just like just kind of keeping your listeners in mind,

and they might find it interesting. This is, I rendered this main goil myself. Oh, man.

Oh, my main goil. Shotglass worth. Yeah. My dad, this was my dad's. He was old. He talked about how old this was and he had a good jokedo. He'd say, not of this, but jokedo is you say, like, this is my great great great grandfather's hatchet, but it's had three new handles and two new heads.

“Here's a Messiah spear. Dang. Got that for 100 bucks, which is really surprising.”

But someone told me that a lot of things are 100. If someone's really old, they go like, how old were they to be like 100? Yeah. Because they don't, they're just, yeah, they're just suckin' on paper instead. Well, we asked them how much for that spear. He's like, 100. What is that meant to cut through, we cut into you? Oh, they bring them up, the guys, so they don't, they see how it's got this spike on the end. When they're doing something,

they just drop it and just into the ground. That's a good idea. And then they use them to defend their stock. Okay. Okay. We ran into something at guys and of Haina killed one of their,

“Haina killed one of their sheep, one of their goats. And they were heading out to,”

they were heading out to kill at Haina with some dogs, and they had spears lunge. Okay. Pretty standard office decor. These are squirrel coosies. Oh, now we're talking. Beautiful. Have you ever actually used it? No. No. Here's a turtle shell. Like a honest, the god turtle shell turned into a turkey call. Who was here? There. What do you mean there? Oh, there it is. There you go. Are we couldn't hear it here, even at the

headphones on? Oh, very subtle. Yep. Yep. It's not loud. Go. Okay. Good. That would kill a turkey. Oh, you're so turtle. This guy grew up just down the beach. That's John Gary. That's me as an adult. But he lived, I grew up just down the shoreline. We're on the shoreline here. And when you were a little kid, if you got your rod tangled up or something or your real

bro, you'd go find him and he would fix it. And I always tell you, I need a story. Zianni in there,

you guys? No, you couldn't handle it. John Gary around this time. John Gary told me, I was at his house and he said he kept lists of all the books he read and every day he fished. And he would cut up oranges and pull him in his freezer and then you'd make a vodka drink and put the frozen oranges in. He was one day telling me he said, "If you give me, I'll sell you my house for $70,000." And you can have it right down to my shoes and you pointed to his shoes.

He says, "The catch is I live here till I die." And I didn't do it. It was the very, very, very, very smart thing to do. Sounds like a cultured man. I wasn't at that mine, you know, like I said, it's me now. I'd get on the phone whenever I got the hot one. That's like asking somebody for $100. Yeah, but I got a hot thing to buy the seats and cash. It's going to be good. All right, thank you Steve. I appreciate the entertainness. Well, not the time. This is probably the last chance I'll

have. Randall's going to-- How's our viewer count doing? It bump back up to 154. 154. Yeah, we started to go down when I began the tour. That's why Randall really didn't like

second floor. We've seen Steve's corner office. That's where Cory and Janice used to work. Yep, that

“looks familiar. There's Matt Miller. He's watching the street live stream. All right. Thank you, Matt.”

We're about to inception. It's happening. Yep. That's sweet. You did it. Oh, you know what people would like to see? You know, tell me. Probably like to see. They're probably see the free table. Oh, yeah, the free table. Now the free table was recently cleansed. So you're only seeing about 20% of what the free table stock normally is. Yeah. FHS. Aircraft. Airframe. It's the meteor's American history volume one on CD. Oh, there's the company that turns digital audio

products into CDs for libraries and things. We got one, but I don't have a CD player. It's on the free table. Okay. And what's that, Matt? The map. Uh, this is a, uh, I don't want to turn it. Is that

look? Oh, yeah, for a second. It's the map of the 59 states. You're supposed to fill in with a photo

of your adventures from those different states. Oh, interesting. What are the photos? Who do you think that belong to before? I see a few photos. It's Steve. Oh, he didn't like accomplished the whole map. And there's directions here. Oh, so I guess you go to a website and print off your photo in the shape of those states. That has been on the free table for probably a year. That's just a staple of the free table now. Yeah. It's pretty big. Uh-huh. It's pretty big. Oh, Randall

walked by his, his favorite room, the nursing room. And he's not going to show us there. And, uh, I mean, I'm sure the people on the live stream don't need to know this, but this is what podcasting excellence looks like. Hey. Uh-huh. It's a, uh, uh, uh, uh, I guess YouTube,

how do I know? A plaque that YouTube sent us for having a million subscribers. Randall is now

making his way up to the third and final floor. Uh, some would say this is the best floor of the Me deeter HQ office. Here's a bear that roadie killed. That's a big bear. I thought that was clay

“newcomers there. I think it's produce. Okay. I'm going to fact check. He's there. Maybe”

bro. It's a good one. Oh, we can ask him. There's a buffalo robe. Yep. Oh, yeah. Walk over to that uh, over look real quick Randall and show us that glass window. Um, one day, probably two years ago, there was a bird that got stuck in here. And it was pinned up against that corner. Uh, and it took about half a dozen me deeter employees to finally free it. Um, and it, it craft all over the office. It was a scary day here at Me deeter HQ, but we solved it. There's a dead bug on that window. No.

Okay. We got 50% of those cars were backed in there. Uh-huh. Alex isn't at work. I see a chest table. Do you think he plays chess at work? He does. Garrett is Garrett long. Garrett long. You know, he's watching. He's definitely watching. Yeah. Would you like to say to the Me deeter radio live final audience? Um, I think it's too bad that it's being canceled. Yeah. See, was afraid of sharing spotlight with a murder in town. Yeah. That's great point. Yeah.

We're good things. He's not watching right now. Yeah. We are proving him right. Alex is obviously he's got the chess board. He sends a weekly slack message, probably, and says,

“please, somebody come play me in chess. Uh, so if you want to get employed here at Me deeter,”

put that on your resume that you will play Alex at chess. What's unsettling? I don't know if you can see at the end of the hallway. There's a giant TV with me on it right now. No, I think. Is that awesome? Nobody's watching it. I'll bring him to uh, uh, here's Cory and the honest is office. Oh, I'm looking at that. All right. That's Cory's desk. Yeah. That's the honest's desk. The honest desk is clean. Well, yeah. What makes, what makes desk messy.

Stuff work. Yeah. Lots of work. Work. End of the right work. Yeah. Beyond he's got about a half dozen, um, muley skulls on the ground there, and then he's got his biggest one, an absolute wiper. Um, it's 196 inches, I think. He said that deer is. We got to re-score that. Hmm. Then he's got to have dozen that need to be hung on the wall yet. That's Yani's pile of deer. Cory, make a prediction as to win those. We'll get hung on the wall.

They've already saved by the end of the, end of March. Okay. They've already been there

skulls on the ground and Cory is predicting that in the next three weeks. They're going to get

“hung. Is my computer on Randall? It's playing sound. I don't know what it is though. It's probably”

the show. If you tell me your password, I could log in and turn it over. You need my finger for that. Oh, yeah. That's okay. Does that make your answered password? We like the subscribers. We like the the views. Okay. That must be Yani's mountain lion, huh? On the wall? I suppose. No, it's Cory's mountain lion. I'm just joking. Oh, that's right. Sorry, Cory. Do you want me to go talk about it? No. We already did. What's in there? Oh, my goodness. This is my office and what used to be

cow's desk. All right, P. Although cow's desk looks much like it did while he worked here.

It's covered in my stuff, such as my Santa costume books. And then here's my, my real desk here. This is my sort of wall of Momentos. Oh, damn. To narrate for folks listening, he has a can of Cincinnati chili. He's got a Ham Specialite beer. He has a Japanese version of the meat eater wilderness survival guy. He's got some black bear grease from May 2025. Yeah, I made it and handed that to him. Okay. He's got some marburled golds that were given to us by the popular

middle school class that was here a week ago. They did bring cigarettes. Yes, he was one of their three gifts they brought us. It was tobacco. Here's my picture from when I went to medieval times. And there's my VIP badges from medieval times. Uh-huh. Here's a geo that Spencer gave me some Kenyan Martin basketball cards that Spencer gave me. Uh-huh. Former Cincinnati beer. basketball cards. These are the basketball cards Spencer gave me sorted out by coaches and players.

It's tough because Joanne Howard is a coach, but he's, this is a photo of him as a player. Yeah, no, it's, it's coaches with coaches cards or players who turned into coaches. So it's, it's, it's right. Right. Right. Yeah. Uh, Randall's office normally has, I'd say at least it does in library books. And he likes to brag that because he's a doctor, he is allowed to check out as many library books as he wants. And he, uh, he takes advantage of it. Oh, my God. These are all library books that

need to be returned. How many are there? 25 you think? Why don't you know, they're going to release. Yeah. They're going to take away your privileges. I bet there's probably 30 or 40. Okay. I have to print out of all of them. Sure. No. You're, you're abusing the system, Randall. They're going to take it away. You're going to take away your library card. Oh, what kind of library doesn't want

“people to check books out. That's good point. That's what. Here's Brody's office. See there? No. No.”

That is the darkest office in the studio. Even when Brody's in their working. He's got the shades drawn in the lights off. Oh, this master piece of an office. This is Spencer's office, everybody. Wow. My office. Spencer, what's your favorite thing in that office? Oh, my favorite thing. I mean, there's a lot going on. Show me the whole room again. So I can give you a good answer on the favorite thing. I'm really like you're, uh, oh, I like the Sandhill Crane Wing. I just

have to say that's very cool. Yeah. I, uh, I let that go into Rigamortis in that position. And then I just took a piece of FHF, uh, per record and, uh, tied that up behind it and it's just hanging out of now that I'd say that's probably my favorite thing. It's probably the thing that people talk to me the most about is that they don't ask you about your card collection. No, no. When I was a kid, I collected sports cards pretty feverishly. Um, and unlike most kids, my mom did not throw them

away. I held onto them. And now I've got like, I don't know, my best 40 of them on display there.

“And, uh, he is just about to wrap up the tour here. He is going into, I think, our, our last room.”

What's in there? Well, this is the conference room where everybody was, uh, you know how fast Nate was. He didn't close the fridge. Oh. He was best. I remember my second to spare. I remember my first beer. Uh, we've still got some olive garden in there. Oh, that tears. The magpies could go. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's really nice. Okay, Randall, is there anything else

you need to show us today? Um, what, what is the meeting or bathrooms look like? I've always wondered

do a real bathroom? I'll do the first floor bathroom real quick. Um, just back in my office real quick.

He's, uh, he's got coolers, bankwits in there that are, uh, room temperature. You know,

“he's got many of them. Hey, Randall, can you bring a couple of those down, please?”

On their way, Phil. Okay. That was Phil's voice. Probably need more. Phil has just, again, joined us in the studio. So Randall, you can, uh, you can wrap up this tour whenever you'd like. We have our, our pilot is back in his seat. I'm on my way down. I'll hit the restroom real quick. And then, uh, I'm on my way. Take the elevator. Yeah. Yeah. Please. How's the tour gone? I'm testing it. The elevator's bad for signal. The, the tour has gone very well. We, we dipped

below a thousand for just a second and then Randall recovered. Uh, and we're, we're holding steady

at about 1100 here since. Yeah. Pretty impressive. Oh, right here. I'll hit the bathroom. Oh, you see, is he using the bathroom? I don't know. Yeah. He's not going to use the bathroom, right? That would be great. No one, oh, yeah. The light turned on. Okay. We're now going to see what the, the bathroom looks like. Show that, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the custer here fell out of it above the urinals. I love that. Every time I go in there to take a leak,

I look at like a new face in that. Yeah. There's a lot to look at. Yeah. Steve's obsession was getting this print in our office. And once we did it, now lives above the urinals. It's like

a little chocolate. It's a little chocolate. And it's like the blue, a pulp fiction. Yeah,

nowhere. That was at the old office. And it would, it belonged to, uh, the tenants of one of the

“spaces. And they just left it in there. And so when we moved into the space, I think Steve just grabbed”

it. No, we have it. Okay. Okay. I had no idea until now. Okay. Thank you, Randall. He is, he's going to come back and join us shortly. That is the best tour. Oh, hey. Oh, man. Oh, someone sent us a pizza. Okay. We, we now have a Papa John's pizza has also entered the studio. It's like, meat lovers, three meat pizza. Oh, man. Good to see that the live stream audience is going good shape here. I was kind of afraid. Huh. Would you pass that to me? I kind of missed you Randall.

I forgot that you got a whole body and it's not just, uh, you're, you're, you're not just a head. I almost got a thousand steps in that. Okay. It's pretty good. Okay. Well, geez. Oh, yeah, these beers are probably going to be really highly fresh. What happened, Bill? Bill opened up a Coor's banquet. And it is all over my crotch. Oh, okay. Oh, luckily, you bake or put some imaging film over my new tattoo because it also got all of it. Oh, hey, well, you guys be all right.

If I go get my tattoo next. Yeah, we can handle that figured. What are you getting, Corey? Do you know yet? I was going to get some grizzly bear tracks on my. Yeah. Oh, okay. All right. You, you're welcome to take that pizza with you and see if anybody in the tattoo parlor would like us. These also taste slightly corked. If you're one guy. Okay. Let me just go find the timeline here. Okay, Phil, can we see the tattoo you got? Give us give us an update. It's a little bit

speary. It's a little bloody. Um, I decided I got a highway mark, a highway sign from a highway one in California. Um, it's one of my favorite places in the world. Mm-hmm. Oh, God. Oh, geez. Oh, there's it's going to be a little going to fill is going to turn the camera here shortly. These things taste like, uh, these things taste like malt liquor. I can't figure this out. There it is. We can't see you yet. Oh, that's right. Thanks, Jake. You're already better at this than me. Oh, hell yeah, Phil. Oh,

beautiful. California, highway one. What are the bands you like that have had songs about highway land that the top two, um, top two. Deathcap for QD was very important to me. And that's your favorite in the highest level. Oh, that the December is behind, but they also know you and to just like that. But they have a song called, uh, Bigsby Canyon Bridge, which is a famous bridge in Big Sur California. Yes, it's mogore still on. Mogare. It's, uh, let's see. It's, uh, it's, uh, it's 12 late there.

“It's 12 30 his time. We'll, uh, I think we'll find out here soon. Okay. Next up, maybe we don't.”

He is on his own. Mogore is there. That's, that's Jada Mogore. That's it. We'll go for it. What time is it there, Mogore? It says he's here. I'm here, period. Uh, then the December is also have a song called California one, uh, uh, the front slash, slash, using beauty brigade. That's one of

for that in time to do meat eater movie? Okay. Uh, our next segment is the meat eater movie club. Uh, here it is.

“Corey might want to sit down for this. Phil, you might want to turn my microphone down a little bit.”

Oh, okay. All right, just a little bit. Great. Give me, uh, give me a second here. Okay.

Sorry, it's hard to press a touch screen and, uh, audio mixer with sticky beer fingers. Okay, you're, you're turned down a little bit, Randall. Let me be clear. Congo is phenomenal. It's critics denied this point. Jaw dropping Lee bad says Metacritic. Um, lacking a sense of purpose says variety, a suspenseless adventure that portrays little curiosity says rotten tomatoes. Except for Roger Ebert, who wrote

false sophisticateds will scorn it. Real sophisticateds will relish it. Consider the following weird accents, a talking gorilla, hippopotamus attack, a surface-to-air missiles, a gorilla

drinking a martini, hyroglyphics, classic early 90s, small arms, cigarettes, a gorilla jumping

out of a plane, a diamond-powered laser cannon, a woman throwing a giant precious stone out of a hot air balloon. Yeah. This movie gives you everything. Everything. It does not have to explain itself. How did the team of 12 people carry on their backs, a loadout that includes white water wraps, computers, crates full of heavy weaponry and ammunition, folding chairs and a tiny little clock that Monroe Kelly played by an effortlessly charismatic Ernie Hudson keeps on his field desk.

“That's referring to the tiny little clock that I mentioned a minute ago. How did they do it?”

Congo does not owe you an answer. Why is Tim Curry acting as though he's the lead in a one-man show that only he was invited to. All goofy energy and overblown accident and exaggerated facial expressions. You do not deserve to know this. How exactly can one quote put the phone number of this satellite into this laser and pull the trigger? Even if and I quote the chip from the laser has the satellite's number and the chip itself is a 12,000 channel chip. Congo says forget it.

You want to restrain? You want it the matter complexity? No. Congo says how dare you ask. Laura Linney's character faces a simple problem. She wants to find a guy who's probably dead on the other side of the world. It's hard to get there. That guy is dead. It's obvious how he most likely

“met his end. The other elements of the plot result themselves by a gorilla becoming a gorilla”

and Tim Curry getting bone crushed by it doesn't badass ape soldiers. Then this mystical locale that the whole film has been leading up to gets buried in molten lava. It's as if the whole

thing never happened. The Earth looked itself at the events of this movie and said no, I will bury

this and it did. No one is any better off at the end of the film or learned anything. Except for one. Oh. Ah yes. Amy. Good gorilla. Amy. The only character who experiences genuine growth. Exiled from her homeland she begins the film controlled by a man with a research grant. Her voice, her very consciousness is mediated and commodified through Western science. Beautiful creature. She has feelings. She has intelligence. She wants things. Amy. Go home. Amy. And by God.

She gets them. The single most emotionally coherent moment in the film is when the jungle reclaims her. When she steps into the green and does not look back. If Amy's story arc represents the potential for individual liberation, the gray gorillas are something else entirely. They are perhaps the most layered element in the entire picture. Though neither the film nor its audience seems to fully reckon with the implications of their existence. No. They are a brave civilization defending their

sacred capital from the intrusions of monsters, hellbent on resource extraction, bound by an ancient contract to their long dead masters. The gray gorillas are the only characters in this film with honorable purpose. They must hold the line. And they do. Oh. They hold it with teeth and with stone and with coordinated fury against laser cannons and automatic weapons and the full weight of Western industrial ambition. They hold it into the volcano removes all human and primalogical

chronological agency with a blanket of liquid hot rock. This is the film's sharpest message delivered almost accidentally. The gray gorillas stand alone between corporate strategy and quarterly earnings. Therefore, the gray gorillas must die. And in the end, none of it matters anyway.

We are all in this very room right now. The gray gorillas. Do you hear it Spencer?

I do. Do you hear it Cory? No. The volcano is already erupting around us. We must. We must hold the line. Four stars. No notes. Hmm. Very good. That was wonderful. Another review. Well done. Better than the movie. Yeah. I would say. Don't say that. Amy Good. I just now occurred to me

“that that was Dr. Frank further from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Who?”

Tim Perry. Oh, also Pennywise. I heard a lot around you. Actually, the hotelier and home alone too. Phil. Phil. Before we get a further. You know what to do? Oh, I do know that they don't do it.

I don't know. Randall. Oh, I love that you're a fan of Congo. You know, I usually get nip talk or

something else lately. It's heated rivalry. And I love when somebody remembers Congo. It meant a lot to me at the time. We shot mostly at the Sony stage. All of that jungle stuff was a huge stage. But we did get a lot of footage from Costa Rica. It was fun to do. And it was a long shoot. And Laura Lenny was great. Tim Curry was great. Ernie Hudson. So I remember it fondly. You guys, you have a podcast. Man, eat a radio live. So I'm just going to say congratulations on that.

And you and Phil and Spencer hope you had a great run. You're going to go on. Did you bigger and better things? I agree. And thanks for remembering Congo. Every once in a while I get somebody to bring it up. And then Brad was a fun movie. Fun to make and hopefully fun to watch. All right, cheers. And again, congratulations. That's great. And a hotel room. That's a man who enjoyed making his cameo. Yeah. Yeah. Some of the celebrities they

mail it in. And they just like don't want to be bothered to earn that $100. Yeah. No, I liked that he added to my knowledge of Congo. Where are we sitting? Oh, yeah. We're sitting in the office upstairs yesterday watching Congo. And I asked. And he said where do they make it? And I said on a studio in Burbank mostly, but also in Costa Rica. And you're like, how did you know that? Obviously. Now we know. Oh, that's too much fun. Yeah, man, eater. Yeah,

man, eater. I mean, I did go back and proofread my message to him. I did write me, eater. So I thought that was just a clever joke that you played. Nope. Okay. That's no, it's just a Freudian

“slip. That is the second time that's happened. Back during, I think it was our first ever,”

not first ever, but first live two we did like three years ago. Steve was doing a hit with a

local radio station in Phoenix. And when they were interviewing him, they said joining his next joining his next is Steve Renella from the company man eater. Yeah. So that's now twice, at least that we have been man eater and said immediately. Here's a question, Phil. Beyond your general impressions of the film had Monroe Kelly been played by Tim Allen, would it have been a better movie? No, is that the answer you're looking for? No, but I thought

that was an interesting substitute. Monroe Kelly played by Ernie Hudson. Yes, the two alternates were Tim Allen and Ned Bady. Time for my tattoo. Oh, good luck Corey. Good luck Corey. Corey's going to get a tattoo. Yeah, thank you. Corey will join us back here. I don't think Tim Allen's a good actor. Ernie Hudson's way a lot more charming. Yeah. Yeah, Ernie was, it would be weird if it was anybody but Ernie leading that expedition. I feel like Tim Allen, especially it feels so foreign

“to like put him as the Congo jungle expert. Yeah. So what are your thoughts?”

Yeah, it was a fun movie. It just felt like just pure 90s. Like what year was that 95? It felt like 1995 in a good way though. Yeah, an easy watch. In my mind, I haven't seen this in probably 20 years. I was thinking the entire movie was just the demon apes that are attacking them and then upon our rewatch yesterday, I didn't realize those are like, I don't know, 10% 15% of the movie that that was breaking news to me on this 30 year old movie that they were just barely even

back and you think that the movie begins with like these guys dying and it's like what the hell

“happened to them? And then they go there and it's like, oh, shit, they got killed by these”

apes that are guard dogs and they don't, you know, like, that's it. Yeah. And everybody died except for three of them. And they don't like, they don't really learn anything the girl gets freed. You don't really see them develop as characters or people. Yeah, Laura Lenny still is like just as upset at Mr. Travis as she was at the beginning of the film. And during the escape, she has a tennis ball size diamond in the pocket that she just throws

on the ground. She says, I don't, I don't need this tennis ball size diamond that would change my life. Yeah, we're in like next generations. Yeah, I'm just going to pitch it back to the earth. Yeah, but I love this film. I we pointed out yesterday, it's got a white water rafting scene, which is a hallmark of every sort of outdoor set movie. Yes, specifically from the

media to movie club. There's always a scene where someone's going through some rapids.

And the California dreaming sing along is loved it. Love the mamas and the popas. And normally if you get a little sing along, it's like 10 or 15 seconds. They did like a full verse and chorus and started an experts. Yeah. So I respect them, you know, giving like one minute to the mamas and the popas. There's a couple beautiful landscape shots. Like at the beginning when the original expedition is walking up the volcano crater. Yeah, just spectacular scenery. And they

escape at the end in a hot air balloon, which I was tickled by. I ran to the point out, it's probably the only movie escape ever that happened to the hot air balloon. Yeah. Yeah, it's probably the only, oh, no, I shouldn't say that. It's dumb. I should say there's movies like volcano and like the idea that, oh, this volcano is just erupting at the exact same peak. Yeah, Dante's peak in volcano both made believe it back to back years.

Yeah, it was just like, what if the volcano hadn't erupted? Oh, you know, I guess they would have just

“lasered all the apes to death. What do you remember about the movie when it came out in 1995?”

Was it like on your radar? Did you love it? I don't remember much about when it came out. I was still just rewatching Jurassic Park mostly. But I remember in elementary school, we used to run around like tapes on our knuckles. I'm not you. Oh, yeah. Oh, I can't believe it. I could still, I bet I could run faster than some men can run on all four. I can run faster on all fours than I can on two legs. I believe you. And we'd run around and that move that the use when they take down

a herkamer, Hamoka, where they sweep his leg out, a Tim Curry. Yeah, they run by him. They sweep his leg out and then they all crowd are out of start pounding him. We did that at recess. Yeah. Like we'd have like eight guys running around on their knuckles and we'd like sweep out someone's leg and then we'd all get around and just kind of hammer fist them, pound them. So that was fun to remember that as I watched Herkamer, Hamoka die. This movie has just a lot of faces that you're like, oh, yeah.

Oh, that lady's in these four other things. Yeah. That guy was like a strong player in the early 2000s. I wasn't ready for Congo to have like that many names attached to it. Fill any other thoughts on Congo. I hate to be a big poop on the party. I didn't, I still have not seen the entire movie. Like you spent our sub bits and parts of it growing up and then yesterday when we tried to wash it, there was just too much planning and prep going on. So I have failed in my duties as a

“meat or radio live. Okay. You know, it's fine. And I think like if someone were to say, hey, Randall,”

that's not a meaty-to-movie club movie. I would say to them, okay, but I feel like it's a movie that

revolves around wildlife, which is always, uh, I don't know. It does something to me. We've seen the

not Spencer's twisted himself into a comedy certain trivia categories and everything. I think I think he pulls it off with a plumb. And so I, I, this is absolutely a meaty-to-radio. There's an expedition into the wilderness involving animals directly. Yep. They've got guns. They've got tents. They've got very primitive satellite communications. Oh, the technology. As you pointed out, when you said they're carrying computers, that like a MacBook, they're carrying like a full-on desktop setup. Yeah,

Dylan Walsh is just wearing a Jann's port backpack, like you'd expect to see a second later wearing on his first like week of school. What was the last movie called we did? Oh, uh, the legacy of a white-tailed deer hunter. That's back to back movies that had Mary Poppin's backpacks, where it's just limitless about what you can pull out of them. Excuse me, I have a chair on my mouth

many guys are carrying stuff, I went back and it's, there's like several shots where it's clear

“that there's only eight or nine parachutes floating down from that plane. Right. Several of them”

are just crates. Mm-hmm. And then I was looking at the scenes where you could see sort of the whole line of, of, uh, porters. And I really don't think I ever counted more than eight or nine of them. Yeah. Well, the odds at the three main characters, the only survivors, the whole thing. But one of the porters, well, as doing this, I noticed that one of the porters just had two big brown leather suit cases, just under his arms like this. I thought it was a really nice, a really nice touch. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Any other thoughts on Congo before we move on? Not really. I mean, I just, I love, I love Jurassic Park. I love Congo. I mean, that's the thing about this movie. It was clearly made in the immediate wake of the success of Jurassic Park. And like another Michael Creighton property, it contains a lot of the hallmarks of Jurassic Park, but without kind of the Spielberg finesse, I guess you could say, but that doesn't make it any less charming. I don't think. Yeah,

there's, there was the one scene where the guy is, um, like, slipping in the mud or the mud is washing out their camp. And as I mentioned yesterday, it's almost like straight out of Jurassic Park when Dennis Nedzury is trying to take the Barbous Hall Canister full of dinosaur DNA to the South Docks, and he runs the Jeep off the road before he's killed by the Dolophosaurus. Mm-hmm. You know, and he's like trying to get the, yeah, there are a lot of visual sort of cues that

that they are trying to make you think of Jurassic Park. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I bet this is, um, better as a book. I feel like you don't have to know every detail of everything. You don't have to know that they have a Mary Poppins backpack to like pull off all of these stunts when you're reading the book. Yeah. Um, but when they like, you know, when your eyes have to see it happening, you just maybe a little more forgiving. So as a book, I bet it's better

experience. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I need to reread the book. I only read it like, I only read it probably the beginning of last year, and it's some books I read before I go to bed, and I don't remember any of them, and some books I read before I go to bed, and I remember all of it, and this was

“one where the only thing I remember about it was just thinking, God, like so much of this is just”

straight out of a straight out of the movie. Although as I did some research, there are, there are differences. I think I said this last week, but when you look up, um, I don't read a lot of horror fiction, but if you like see a list of someone recommending them at my 10 favorite horror books ever,

Jurassic Park is almost always on it, so I need to read that at some point. If I'm satisfied,

I'll pick up Congo. And Congo, the book is from 1980, so 15 years. Yeah, bizarre. Any other thoughts before movie club? No, last breath. No, why don't we, why don't we take this old horse out back and put one right between the eyes? Okay. Uh, the next thing we're going to do then is we have a special message from Brent Reeves to say goodbye to Meadie to Radio Live. Bill. As we've been a fond farewell to Meadie to Radio Live, I'm reminded of the times that are hosted that weekly endeavor. And the

enjoyment I received from my colleagues and our guests and the interactions we had with the faithful listeners who, like the rest of us, obviously had nothing better to do on a Thursday, but she could bowl with a bunch of like-minded souls for about an hour. I miss flying up to host a show on a moment's notice and no one else could do it. See it all my compatriots that work out of the office in Boseman. So, here's hope and then we come up with something else that

allow me to venture up there and see my friends and talk with the folks to follow what we do. Since I don't have anything to drink, I will- I will raise this crescent bridge. Very wind. Following seeds. Oh, that's great. Very good.

“Okay, I think let's maybe do our final hot tip off of the day. We got a few more segments to go,”

but Corey Calkins, our third host, is currently getting his tattoo. So, after he gets his tattoo,

we will carry on with the regular schedule program, but right now we have another hot tip off. Are you going to play this sound this time film? No, I don't think we're going to do it this time. Hey, Joe. TTI. Let's all do a hot tip off. Sorry, Zach. Good.

wall eyes and the summer can be fun, but also frustrating if you run into floating weeds analogy.

“I found a cheap, efficient way of how to combat that and make your crankbaits weedless.”

Every wall angle has these laying around. They're night crawler rigs, bottom balancers, and what you do is you take a pair of side cutters and cut right above the weight there, and right above the swivel here, and you're left with a good nice stiff piece of wire. And what you do with that is you attach it to your lead line, like so with a spare swivel on it. And then a couple foot leader down to your crankbait. And what they'll do is it'll kind of push

all those floating weeds out of the way, push that algae out of the way. You could keep them

angled down. You can tilt them up like a rake. Whatever works for the weeds you're working with. But I found it's a cheap way. These are about a dollar piece. cheap way to keep your crankbaits clean on a dirty lake. Thank you. All right, this is Thomas Yoder. I am showing you a hot tip for meaty or hot tip off.

“If you're out trying to fish and you need to re-spool a reel,”

can be kind of inconvenient if you don't have a holder for your line. And so what we've done is put the headrest rod through one side and then you can adjust your tension with the headrest adjustment. That way you keep constant tension on your spinning rod or any other kind of reel. But yeah, a little hard to do this one hand it. You get the idea. Nice steady even tension. Good action. Okay, that was our final hot tip off.

Wow, that's it. And our audience is going to decide who gets his final $100 meter gift card. We have Zack who had the bottom bouncer crankbait cheat and then we have Thomas who had the headrest line spooling. Bull is live. Randall, what do you think who gets your boat? I like the line spooling. It's not groundbreaking, but I do feel like I've wasted a lot of time with like a pencil chore through a roll through a spool of line and then I'm like holding that with my toes.

Right. Or you have like an unwilling spouse who's just exactly annoyed. And then you're like showing less tension, more tension. But maybe we should trade maybe I should hold the pencil and then you do the reeling and stay exactly. We've all been there and we've all known what that's like. I mean, I'm curious to see like how easily I would mess that up and jerk the thing out of the the headrest. But I like I like where that guy's heads at. Yeah, that's clever.

Probably more applicable to more folks. I like Zack's bottom bouncer trick. I've pulled a lot of crankbaits.

I've never seen somebody do that before. I felt like an original thought to me.

A lot of crankbaits are very sensitive about the tuning. I imagine that would kind of mess with some of that and maybe if you had a crankbait that dove, you know, 10 to 12 feet. Now you've changed how deep it's going. But that looked like a dude who knows how to pull crankbaits. So I trust him there that you're still going to catch a lot of fish with that and also keep the

“weeds off your plug. So I would give my vote to Zack. Phil, what's the jats in here?”

We can wrap this up because it's pretty pretty nice. And not a blow out, but with 63% of the vote, the winner is Thomas Yoder. But the car's ain't at rest. That's great. Very good. Phil, you've really shut like the name noises, pronunciations, emphasis, whatever you want to call it, you really were shining star up in the very end. Thank you so much. I'm glad to hear that Steve likes that enough to maybe bring it back. It's a fun way, you know, that we get to

involve our audience. I kind of think it's one of those things like when a politician's on the stage and they sort of see where it's leaning. And they're just like, no social security's going to be more actually this radio life thing is pretty good. And the person staff for all studying up the stage is like looking at you. The hot tip of May or May not live on beyond radio live. We'll see

you to send them to us. Miss winds are final hot tip off. How are you doing? Do we know how

Corey's tattoo's going? Jake is going to go check on him in just a second. We'll drop in to get

“an update. Before that though, I think we have, well let's do some lists of feedback. Phil, let's”

do some lists of feedback. Gosh, okay. You have anything and then after that. I mean, I have an idea. I got an idea. If you. I got an idea. You're going to share the idea. Okay. Okay, what's going on here? Oh, man, you're really hoping it picks up. Hey, Ryan, you're live on the meteor radio live grand finale live. Extravaganza, we're six hours and three minutes into our live stream. And I wanted to check with you to see if you had any any warm wishes to share with

our faithful listeners. You've been a central part of this show throughout its entire run. So

wanted to have you been watching this whole time. What are you, what are you doing right now, buddy? Uh, I just put on a clean shirt button down shirt because I'm heading to a field to table of that in outside Bentonville, Arkansas. Oh, fantastic. Fantastic. Are you going to be to see any of the Nukem Reeves clan in that area? So, Brett Reeves is coming down. Bear who comes coming down. Oh, and yeah, this tonight is where we show the magic of where food comes from to folks and

kind of spread that public land, public wildlife love. Well, that's beautiful. That's beautiful.

Yeah. Well, I don't want to keep it too long, Cal, but if you would, could you tell folks what

“radio live has meant to you as a host, and then as a loyal fan since you've left us here?”

I think like the beauty and magic of media radio live, which I truly don't want to see go away, is just like that direct interaction with folks who are, um, you know, compelled to follow along. It's a good place to share knowledge share last. And, um, you know, inform each other. Yeah. Well, that's great. Um, Cal, the the audience is happy to hear from you right now. I'm seeing messages on the screen. Uh, one man says, Holy shit, did not expect, oh, no, sorry. He said,

Holy shit, did not expect this call to still be going. No, no, not, not not this call. Yeah, not the call. We're still doing this. Um, but they're other people. Well, there are

“other people expressing surprise that you're on the phone and they're glad to hear from you. So”

Corey Colkins just walked in here. I don't want to keep it too long, but I just thought it was only right that we check in with you, sir. Oh, no, thank you very much for, uh, you know, thank you, I mean, um, just just out here, you know, whipping up some court for public lands, water, and wildlife. Got God knows we need it. Oh, it can cause a great place to do that. Yeah. Absolutely. Well, so say hello to all our friends down there in the great state of Arkansas. And we will, uh,

we'll catch up with you here in a bit. Love you, Cal. Yeah. Don't, right, till till all of you too, there, my friend. Thank you. Be sure to let folks know the black fair bananas on this Saturday at the fair rounds here at it, right outside of your Northwest Arkansas airport. Oh, man, I wish I could make it. Cal. Oh, it's going to be a good time. Cal, also just one last bit of news before I let you go here. Virgil Edison Morris was born today, seven pounds, six and a half

ounces, 20 inches, Seth says like a real good large mouth bass. So, uh, I texted him. Yeah, beautiful. I texted him. Yeah, and big, big, huge congrats going on the sale. Yeah, indeed. All right, buddy. We'll take care and enjoy your time down there and we'll, uh, we'll catch up with you soon here. All right, gang, we'll send her a sender home for me. We'll do. We're bare in this thing. 10 feet under. Not six feet, 10 feet. Thanks, Gal. Bye, Cal. Bye. Oh, that's good stuff there.

Yes, that's good stuff. Then we can hear from Cal. Corey, how'd you tattoo go? Man, it went really well.

Hoot in Bute on my arm. And this one I got on my calf. That's some grizzly bear tracks walking

and they. Oh, man. Yeah. Hopefully. You can be able to keep those, keep those tats clean in the wild. I hope so. It was actually. Yeah, I did it on purpose. It'll be above my boot and then under it over the calf sock. Nice. Yes. Yes, because Phil has a heart out here in 27 minutes. Oh, Spencer, I was trying to keep that a secret. Oh, I'm sorry. So we get, we're going to, well,

“go, here's the thing. It's not even just that I, once this show ends, it's not like I get my”

car and drive home. I have to make the podcast version of this six and a half hour show. Oh, so I'm going to be here for a little longer and I have a family at home waiting for me. So we have a few more segments to do and I don't want to skip anything. Yeah. So if we just want to like knock this knock these out. Yep. Because we've got some good stuff. We do not have families at home.

So we got to, we can just keep going. Yeah. Never try. Okay. Next up, fake news. Phil, should we do fake

news? Yes. Let me just bring up the slide here. Okay. The end is inside. Okay. Our next segment is fake news. You sure about that? It's a meaty to radio live. Okay. We're doing it. We have a third fake out of the day. Oh, my god. My cameo budget. I actually fit three people into my $100. How did you manage to get such great cameos? $100. This last one may leave you wanting a little more. Is it red from the island boy?

Probably don't even recognize this person. So I'll have to do some explaining afterwards. Go ahead, Phil. Phil, Randall Spencer, what's up? It's the bobs. Come on. You have a direct

from the humble north coast of California in the redwoods. Well, the meat shit, the meat

shit's in myself. One of this you condolences on your cancellation. But hey, you guys lost to the best. But anyways, yeah, Spencer, you sound like you're the brains of the group. And they wanted a fact. Those offshore rocks down there. You can see how supposed to

“that's what it feels that they see squat just swim out. Yeah, no. Get muscles.”

Is that true the squat just swim out and get muscles? I want this peak. Oh my god. Wow. Spencer, you're supposed to do a call. I thought it was supposed to go and do a whip. Do you hear that response? You saved my throat as thrashed. Here we go. Keep it squatching. Keep it squatching. If you don't know, there was a reality show called Finding Bigfoot. It had

100 episodes. Back when I was in college, my roommate and I used to watch it all the time. It had like a four person crew. That man's name was Bobo. And Bobo, he was kind of the most recognizable face of the crew. And his thing was he was the caller of the group. So when they would go out at night, he's the one who would do the squatch calls. And one night, I had a buddy who went to college in the black hills of South Dakota. He was in gentleman's club of that

of the black hills. And he saw Bobo in there. And he knew I was a fan. He texted me and I told him to get Bobo to do a squatch call. And so they yelled across the strip club. Bobo, do a squatch call. And he did, in fact, did one. I think it was in Underwood, South Dakota, New Underwood, South Dakota. Maybe it was South Dakota. Anyway, that's-- You can't make that up. That's who Bobo was. And his fact was that, you know, that's a spot

where you see the Sasquatch swim around and and build their muscles. So my $100 cameo got me three celebrity. I misunderstood. I thought he was swimming to like catch muscles, but he's swimming to build a muscle. I don't know. You could be right as well. I like your version. I was-- I think I'm with

“Randall. I think that's what he meant. Okay. I like your version. That's even better. I like the”

better. Sasquatch is our engaged in fitness. He is ripped. So that was Bobo a person that probably 1% of our audience. Oh, he recognized. And then I like how he said that the reason our podcast getting canceled is because we're going up against Bobo's podcast. Can't compete. Russell Russell Brooklyn says I thought the witch was off. I stand correct. That's right. So that is-- I promise now that's my final. Oh, that's good. Welcome to Meet Eater's 12 and 26 presented by

released throughout 2026. These are long form episodes so you get more of what you love. The first one up is my baited bear hunt in Manitoba. If you've ever wondered what a baited bear hunt is like, you'll love this episode. My favorite part was watching a younger bear spend an hour trying to figure out how to get a creatively hung beaver carcass down from a tree. Check it out now on Meet Eater's YouTube channel and be on the lookout for more 12 and 26 in the coming months. Let's do fake news for

“real play the job fill. Oh, yes. Where is fake news?”

You can do anything you set your minds to, guys, except like teleport or fly or something,

stuff like that. I've never caught that part at the end fell. There's another Easter I get on

think because the people just start talking over to Meet Eater during the new tiebreaker on trivia. I slowed down Doug song for his trivia song so it's like very faint and echoing in the background after it goes. It's the middle part girl. Okay, let's listen for that next time. If he's gated to hour seven of our Meet Eater radio live today, now you'll know about that little Easter egg. Fake news is where Randall reads a series of headlines in which a real one is hiding among three imposters.

Me and Corey's job is to figure out which one is true. Take it away, Randall. Question headline one. Yeah, I guess you point we used to do full headlines. Now it's just kind of

fill in the blank multiple. No, this is better. This is this is the way to do it. Okay. Okay. This.

Black lawmakers weigh grizzly bear comeback plan after 100 year absence. I'm going to do the Brody slam. Mm. Black lawmakers weigh grizzly bear comeback plan after 100 year absence. Your choices are Nebraska, Colorado, California or Mexican. Mm. Interesting. To go with D there, Mexican. I guess I don't know why I made Mexican and not Mexican though. I don't know what's talking about. They're Mexican lawmakers. I did this late at night. They're Mexican lovers. They're from South

“Dakota, but they're Mexican. Sorry, this is an important part of that night. Corey's got an answer.”

Yeah. I just got a answer. Red this headline. You did. Oh, you just we could have skipped it. Yeah,

California. Yeah. See you as for California. California. That's thank you. That's one point each

for Corey and Spencer. All right. Look at that headline. Jeez. Let's just move on because these guys have already read this article. I haven't tell you more, please. Well, there's a new proposal. Senate Bill 1305 that were to cry the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to create a public plan explaining how grizzly bears could be brought back before they can be released. Scientists would need to decide where the grizzlies could survive on their own in California without

harming the environment. The Department need to finish the plan and send it to lawmakers. Another state offices by June 30th, 2028. Yeah. Send them. They need to have them. They got a grizzly on their flag. You can't put a grizzly on your flag if you don't have any stolen ballot state. Yeah. We've got to move on to headlight too. We've lost 30 viewers. This is a good one. Salmon blank skin care is having a moment. Does it, but does it actually work? Experts weigh in.

Is it salmon belly skin care? Salmon eggs skin care? Salmon oil skin care? Huh? Or salmon sperm skin care? Okay. But does it actually? What do you want to rub on your face from a salmon to get nice skin? Belly eggs, oil, or sperm? Well, since we're not playing quiplash, this is my chance to write sperm on a bat. Oh, yeah. So I'm so sorry. We can't play quiplash. Maybe we'll get to it eventually. Spencer wrote some great custom props for it, because you can take your

on custom game. And one of my plans for this morning was to test out the custom game. So I didn't eat shit when we were alive. Turns out I still did that. Hey, we're live. Phil, that's the one thing that someone remembers from this whole. Yeah. It's failed. It's very weeks ago. Yeah. But maybe we'll do it on some extra live stream at some point. And I want the viewership to go up

“so much more. Well, I think we're now encountering a time when people got to go home and”

like, live their real life. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it might be getting ready for work. Cook supper. Do we both have our answer? I got my answer. Yep. Spencer says oil. Corey says sperm. The correct answer sperm. Oh, no. Look at that headline. It began as most beauty

quickly earned reputation for delivering glassy luminous complexions. Soon, whispers of fish

day in DNA and miracle, grow treatments traveled from aesthetic clinics in Seoul to Instagram feeds. But despite the eyebrow raising name, no raw sperm is being applied to the face. The active ingredient is PDRN. Short for, uh, poly deoxy ribonucleotide, I nailed it. A compound derived from purified DNA fragments taken from salmon sperm cells. Here's why I didn't think it would be sperm because it's not sperm. It's milk. It's like the technically right, but also they wouldn't put

milk in a headline. Look at this. Look at this Instagram post. It's from a it's from an influencer.

“Watch me. Watch me and check salmon sperm in my face. How many likes?”

1,000 hundreds. Oh, 323. That was, but that was two days ago. Yeah. We'll do that on the same

stream. We do quick lash. We'll do salmon-milth facials as well. Yeah, encountered the term regenerative aesthetics. Okay. Well, doing my research for the stem cells. Yeah, just like things, you know, it's a fancy word for youthful making yourself look youthful. There, I'm going to scroll through where I said, Phil, please add this photo and then I have the photo of that woman. Yeah. All right. The headline three, Hiker shares disappointing video after climbing to top of Mount Everest,

colon, and then there's a quote from the Hiker. Did the Hiker say so disgusting and so sad? This was way too easy. The clouds ruined our view. Or what a waste of money.

“Hiker shares disappointing video after climbing to the top of Mount Everest. Also negative.”

I wonder why. So disgusting and so sad. This was way too easy. The clouds ruined our view. What a waste of money. Those are all, those are whatever three fake ones you have. There's three good fake ones. Yeah, you did, you did a nice job on this one. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Is this the last one? This must be, no, this is it. This must be why our viewers have bumped up to nine, 53 again climbing back towards that 11, 100 mark. Yeah. What's it? I know you're kind

of joking, Randall, but I got to say it's a gosh dang miracle that we had a thousand people watching the show the entire time. Oh, anyone who's tuned in, I genuinely appreciate you watching the show. It's like you've you've blown blown me away. I truly hope there's going to be a point today where we didn't have anybody there. We're just laughing about there's no one there. I thought after our four, it would be like double digits. Yeah, for a while. I truly did as well. Yeah, who's,

you guys have your answers? Yeah, my answer. Of course, come on, two, one, two, one, go ahead. Of course says what a waste of money Spencer says clouds. Oh, we got a zero per cent or no.

The answer is, hey, so disgusting and so sad. The greatest peak in the world has become one of

the greatest exhibits of evidence for cynics who subscribed to the idea that humans ruin everything. We do. Mount Everest is covered in waste, including lots of human excretement or excrement, as most people say, on display was a dirty camp that featured waste tents discarded equipment, another debris from expeditions, blah, blah, blah, blah. Each climate leaves about 18 pounds of trash on Mount Everest. Yeah. Lots of dooky, lots of oxygen bottles, but yeah, dooky too.

“Is that? Yeah, so that was fun. Quora, I think you won. Yes, I did when he got to. I got one.”

Yeah, um fall up with Jake for your prize. Yeah. I will. You win a subscription to whoever wrote those articles. So meet either premium. I'll take this hot cures last time. I wouldn't drink those. Excuse me. Cures heavy. Okay. Those they taste really bad. We are getting towards the end. Do you want to do a final goodbye video? Yeah. We have a message from Mark Kenyan to say goodbye to me be to radio live. Let's hear it. Well, as the saying goes, I hate to see it go, but I love to watch it

leave. And that has been true here with this last episode. Awesome work guys. Thanks for all our work. Thanks for the memories. Thanks for the last. Thanks for helping me discover my true passion for play by play announcing a fishing, which I discovered on him one minute fishing him. So once. And, uh, man, he was quite good run. So cheers to good times and cheers to what's next. Does a little too earnest. I don't trust him. Yeah, I feel like that's the most

honest and genuine thing that's been said on this entire live stream. I don't know if I like it. Mark doesn't mess around. No, he doesn't. That's good guy, too. A lot of good guys on the show today.

segments. I've got two more segments. Are we going to make? Are we going to make it? Oh, good line here.

“Oh, yeah, we close. We got it. Okay. Our next segment is top threeies.”

Got it. It's a good one. Turn the volume up here and try to hide that. Uh, Bill, who is going first for the top threeies? Great questions. Spencer. Okay. I'm going first.

Here are the top three top threeies that I never got to do on media to radio live.

The number three top three that I never got to do was favorite national parks. Now, if I were to do this top three, uh, tell you, I've been to 21 of them. I'm going to visit my 22nd in May. Uh, and I would it told you that number three is Olympic national park in Washington. Number two is Redwood National Park in California. Uh, and the number one, the best national park is Yellowstone in Wyoming, Montana, Idaho. Uh, there's like a reason that Yellowstone is the Coca-Cola of national parks. It's got

amazing wildlife geology, scenery, seasons, fishing, culture, hiking. Uh, it's just like so beautiful. It should be a bucket list thing to see. And it gets a real bad rap, even from like people in this office who live 60 miles from it, uh, that it's just got too many people, which it does sometimes, but you can also have intimate experiences there. Go in the shoulder season, go in the offseason,

“visit during a weekday, uh, and if if that doesn't work out, if you have to go on a Saturday”

and July, still do it, it's a place that you should see, uh, and it's like totally worth it, I'd say.

All right. The number two top three that I never got to do is office dogs. Uh, we've got a lot of

office dogs around here. If I were to do this top three, I would tell you that number three is Max's dog Ruby. Number two is Ben's dog Bear. Bear is blind. And that makes me really sad. Um, so bear had to be on the list. And then number one is Reeva's dog, Riley. He's a rot-wiler. I think he's eight years old now. Uh, he's just such a good boy. He's got a nice coat on him. He's real handsome. He's real well behaved. Uh, he knows a couple tricks. He'll shake. He'll sit. Uh, so that's nice. Uh, I love

all the office dogs, but it's not even really close for me. I think Riley's number one. He's, he's, he's, he's the best of them all. Any any feedback on Riley, the office dog? Another good guy. Riley is a good boy. Yeah. Uh, the number one top three I never got to do is my favorite restaurants. Uh, now if I were to do this top three, I'd tell you that heirloom barbecue, heirloom market barbecue in Atlanta would be number three. Number two would be Katta's Delhi in New York City. And the number

one is ginger pig in Denver. Uh, it's Asian fusion. It's mandatory stop every time I'm in Denver.

The food is absolutely amazing. The prices are good for what you're getting. Always has very good

service. Uh, it's casual enough where you could like show up and sweat pants, but it's also nice enough. You could go on a date. Uh, you need to order the Hong Kong French toast. Uh, the Korean fried chicken with Aoli and then always get the Beijing dumplings. It's my favorite restaurant in the world. I wish it wasn't 10 hours away. Yeah. Always, uh, also a location in Boulder, Colorado. So this is the top three top threes I never got to do. Hmm, sad. Can you, what if you wear

sweats on your dates? Yeah, it's a double end. You can wear either wear sweats or go on a date.

“Yeah, then you should do that. Uh, both of them. All right. Who's the next top three?”

Oh, it's going to handle. All right. Uh, I had three categories of top threes, but I didn't like two of them. So I just went with the top three times. I've had vehicle problem this while doing something, hunting and fishing related. Okay. Oh, all right. Just don't, don't, it's sorry. Yeah, I have no choice but to spoil it for you. Chill, man. Chill. Um, what number one was driving Jetboat upriver and uh, pulled the, went to started again and pulled the cord out and the motor didn't

fire. Then we had to float the boat all the way down the river just hanging off the bow and kind of kicking our way down there and then, uh, ended up managed like to land it at a different lodge. And they've fixed it for us. That's a very memorable vehicle problem. Another one is, uh, a buddy got his truck stuck on the edge of a, uh, like a 200 foot, I wouldn't call it a cliff, but there's nothing that would have stopped your truck from sliding off heat that. So I, I went

up there. This is opening morning of bare season. I went up there, chained up my vehicle and went to pull him out and it just made things worse. And then as I was backing out, uh, this should

slid down into him. Chains ripped off, cut my brake line so that I'm backing up without any brakes.

And uh, the chain broke your brake line. Yeah. Yeah. It spun around it, like when it rubbed up against his tire, the chain came loose and and cut my brake line. So then we had two trucks like leaning against each other stranded on this cliff and we had to get a record up there and, uh, he got us out. But that was dumb. Uh, that was a long day. Uh, I had an, an honorable mention for, uh, one night we were hunting deer out east of here on my buddy's boat. And, uh, in the middle of the night,

he got out to take a leak and the boat wasn't there. And the wind had blown the boat away,

“ripped the, uh, ripped the, the stake out that we'd tied it to, like, as the anchor. Could you see it?”

No, that's just gone gone. It was, it was pitch blackout and we couldn't see the boat. We couldn't get a reflection off the boat. So he woke me up at like three in the morning and we just put on our headlamps and walked along the shore until we found it. Thankfully, didn't go that far, but like it very easily had the wind been blowing in any other direction. It could have been a really bad thing. And then, uh, the number one thing I had was my buddy and I were dove hunting and, uh,

he was driving a Honda accord and he popped the trunk with his keys. We took off our vests and, and put our guns in the trunk, shut the trunk and, uh, his keys were in the vest. Oh, so then we just had to walk, we just had to walk all the way out of this wildlife area down a road,

eventually, um, we never got service. I think we got picked up by a cop before we got service

and then he came back in. Well, the state were in in Ohio. Okay. The Honda accord, that's the appropriate delve hunting vehicle. But yeah, that's great. Yeah. It's great. Um, but yeah, just a lot of fun memories. I also had two other categories of scariest moments where I nearly died. We thought I was going to die and then, uh, cool encounters with animals were not hunting,

“but I will go into those, because it's 524. Okay. Uh, Corey, I think you're up next then for the”

top three. Yeah. I'll need to refer to some photos here. What's your list today, Corey? Okay. So these are my top three most memorable moments being in this room for me. You're ready. All right. Oh, like we got napkins if you guys start tearing up here, but it's a great category. Let's see. Number three would have been Phil's teaky mugs that he broke out for the top three. I really appreciate that I had no idea. I knew you were a teaky mug guy, but this is like beyond, uh, what I had originally thought,

and that I think that was maybe your number three mug. I don't believe that was your number. I think I think that was my number one. Was it? Yeah. Wow. Either way, it's a fantastic. I think I, I had three and then I brought some, some on honorable mentions. Oh, that's like good. I could tell myself. I feel like after you did that list, Phil is when you got all the teaky mugs in your office where they all in there before they've all been in there. Okay. I've been slowly going to interject Seth Jones

1410 right. Shout out to my son Henry. We were potty training and he just peed on my arm because I was paying attention to me. That radio watt. Good. Yeah. Shout out to Seth and shout out to Henry. Yeah. Peekleens up easy. Sorry to interrupt. I just enjoyed that. Yeah. Number two here, Phil. Oh, yeah. What I put up here. Oh, well, it was the Christmas episode that way back to Christmas.

Oh, two thousand twenty four. We were all young. Yeah. Two Christmas goes. That was the very first

Christmas on the show. You can believe it. There's a screenshot of when Santa made an appearance. He's given Spencer a nice head rubbed down and he's got his bloody sack of toys. Yeah.

“His game bag of toys that we all gifted each other. Oh, boy. That was fun. Flying Santa. What do you call it?”

And then Santa did one minute fishing after that. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That was a good day. Corey, you were with him. Yeah. We had a fun that day. We're going to take the canoe to a local bond. Good guy. Hey. I had one of these after my vasectomy. He likes it. Oh, what a bloody sack. Good one. Straight get out the jokes. Okay. And my number one most memorable moment being in this room for me. Eater radio live would have had to have been when we brought in the turkey. Was it broken?

Broken the turkey. Yeah, broke turkey. Alyssa Smith's turkey came in and just the look on Randall's face was everything. What's the problem with turkeys again? You just don't trust them. I don't have anything to common with them. Well, that's for sure. They have hollow bones. And they only they only evacuate themselves from one hole. Yeah. But you you love Thanksgiving. They hate it. We're a higher order of being. That was just fun to bring an animal into the studio.

Yeah, we should do that more often. Maybe next time. Just not not a bird. Yeah. We can we can help it. Hard to beat those three moments. It was a big bird in there. Yeah, there's a lot of fun. Okay.

to wrap the show on. Oh, you want to edit there? Well, our last segment is great. I mean,

I think it's just poor planning on on our part. I feel like this whatever the last segment is would have been better earlier in the show. Yeah, I feel. Yeah, I guess we have to do it. What about some of your feedback? Can we talk to the audience? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't I don't I don't I don't I haven't been in specific to to because I've been reading a lot of it, but not really flagging anything. So yeah, I don't know. We love to take a couple of minutes to wrap it up here. Thank you for watching. Thank you for listening.

I immediately radio live was fun. This was a thing they like didn't really exist. And then they wanted to do

“some more podcasts in the office and we're like, well, what about this thing? And then that's what it”

was. And so they said that's the least bad out of all the ideas that have been proposed for a third time.

Yeah, kind of true. We were about a week from doing our third podcast of the week. And at that time, that podcast was going to be getting reports from people across the country. It was going to be we call Doug Dern. He's been like, yeah, the morale mushroom harvest is looking good over here. And then we call Chester and he'd say, yeah, we're catching a lot of walleye. That's what it was going to be. And then, you know, we're like, what if we just make it a variety show instead? That's that's what it was.

Now, here we are 18 months later. So yeah, fun journey. And this is kind of kind of the OG crew here. It's Corey after after Karen stepped away. Corey, whether it was his choice or not, that's it to produce this show for a few for a while several months back when the show was flawless. Remember those days? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Jake, Jake isn't here now, but he's he's done a great job stepping is he he wasn't it's not like, like with Corey, he knew the culture. He's he had been here for a while,

you know, and and so he was able to step in and kind of take the reins, but Jake we hired and said, by the way, you're doing this, whether you like it or not, and he he's done a great job. And he's I wish I could tell that to his face, but he is not. I don't know where he was. He's getting into a break. Oh, because he's been gone for a minute. Yeah. Okay. Well, if he gets back in here, it's all over his chest. But then yeah, I just want to say like everyone, everyone just stepped

up incredibly like like I said a version of this during an all company meeting the other day, but just like Spencer and Randall for giving the show kind of form and the personality that that it's had, everyone who's hosted the show, like Brent said, getting a phone call in Arkansas and then two days later, he's sitting in Spencer's seat hosting the show. I mean, everyone from like Mark, I mean, Lake Pickle was a part of it. Jordan Sillers, Tony Peterson, Cal Steve, Brody,

Yannis, Corinne Clay. I'm sure I'm missing you Maggie Hublow. Brogan the turkey. Brogan the turkey. Santa Santa Claus big ups. Well, Phil, I don't think it's fair to list all those people

“and not recognize your efforts and talents that have gone into this. I think I think Spencer and I”

bring a Yann and a Yang to this show. But you're the the dots in the Yang and Yang. You know, how when you try to get the dots in there. Yeah. I mean, one's white, one's black. Every week, we decide what we're going to do. And then everybody kind of taps their feet into the last

second, and then sends Phil a bunch of shit the ace to organize and this really complex live

streaming platform. And Phil does it every week without us, or I was going to say with us smile. So Freudian slipped there and angry smile sometimes. But yeah, it's it's been fun to have a venue for Phil to showcase some of his talents and it's been a real joy. No, it's been a real fun outlet. It's just like I just let me do a bunch of crap without asking anybody and hope that I don't get in trouble for it. And so far, so good. Yeah. So yeah, I mean, it's it has been nice to have kind of

that we used to call them Trump cards in your back pocket where you can say what are they going to do fire me and he's going to do radio live next week. So now we got to watch our piece of cheers. Thank you, Phil. Thank you, Randall. Thank you. Thank you, Corey. Thank you to all our lawyers. If anybody out there stuck around for all six hours, 36 minutes and 31 seconds of this

“journey to the center of the madness. Thank you. We appreciate you. And I think the interaction with”

the listeners has been the best part of this. So yeah, and I think that's the last thing we should say. Like, I mean, holy crap. You guys absolutely showed up today. I honestly honestly, I honestly can't believe it. Well, we just said we don't have that Trump card anymore. So we got to keep it

showed up in incredible numbers, but just all people who have been here, I mean, guys like Mo Gore and

“Nate and Spencer, the other Spencer, I've got a Leeland heart. Leeland heart RT4. I mean,”

there's like, I know I'm forgetting a lot of you and don't feel bad. It's just, yeah, thanks for being here every weekend for those who only tuned in when they could, that was as great as well. I mean, you're, you're, thanks for making the show what it, what it became. And here's the

weird part. We got another podcast coming out next week. Um, so yeah. And we kind of don't know what

it's going to be. We have no idea. Yeah. Yeah. It's going to help the Steve. I did it on the edge. Okay,

“we're going to say goodbye and Phil is going to play that music video one more time, uh, which is”

the or best goodbye we can give you. Hell yeah. Well, thank you. Let's watch the viewers just, thank you. Thank you, Meady to Radio Live audience. We love you. We'll see you guys next week with the whole new show. See you guys. Bye. Another turning point of fuck, stuck in the road. Tango to buy the wrist, direct to where to go.
