Ep. 840: The Grand Finale Extravaganza | MeatEater Radio Live!
March 6, 2026

---

Episode Overview

The final episode of MeatEater Radio Live is a sprawling, six-hour celebration and send-off—a true “grand finale extravaganza.” Hosted by Randall Williams with co-hosts Spencer Newharth, Phil Taylor, and a rotating cast including Steven Rinella, Brody Henderson, Giannis Patelis, and many others, this episode is part tribute, part variety show, and part chaotic roast of everything that defined MeatEater Radio Live. The crew revisits classic segments like Hot Tip Off and Indefensible Laws, launches elaborate gags, does surprise interviews, gives tattoos, and delivers thoughtful (and hilarious) reflections on radio, hunting, camaraderie, and the outdoors. Fans, coworkers, and friends send in their own goodbyes and favorite moments, and, true to MeatEater form, the show blends deep sincerity, irreverent humor, lots of wild food, and surprises—including some only MeatEater could pull off.

Opening & Show Structure

03:00 – 06:30

• The show kicks off with an a cappella rendition of Green Day’s “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life),” delivered with a wink.
• Randall Williams welcomes everyone, outlining that the episode will last six hours with hosts rotating in and out: Steven starts the first hour, followed by Brody, Giannis, crew, games, then Corey Calkins until the finish line.
• The hosts joke that the episode will mimic the “five stages of grief,” with segments representing denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

"Too many hunting units, too many opinions, not enough clarity." — Steven Rinella, introducing the episode ([00:27])

---

Reflections & Humor

06:30 – 11:00

• Lighthearted banter about what didn’t make it into the final episode (tuxedos, Outback Steakhouse orders).
• The crew acknowledges the bittersweet end of Radio Live, poking fun at themselves as “the same losers you’re used to,” and comically dismissing any sentimentality.
• Jokes are made about the show's “production value,” and its signature (sometimes chaotic) energy.

“If you can’t tune in for the whole thing, at least go… watch the first three minutes of Randall Williams’ music video. Because it was art.” — Spencer ([07:10])

---

Reviving Classic Segments

1. One Minute Fishing Becomes One Hour Fishing

12:13 – 24:00

• Segment expanded for finale: angler Pat Durkin attempts to catch a fish in 60 seconds for a $500 conservation donation, then keeps fishing for nearly an hour. He succeeds—making him the segment’s “three-peat” champion.

“The only three-time champion of One Minute Fishing: Mr. Pat Durkin. Unbelievable. My goodness.” — Randall ([18:37])

2. Indefensible Laws

19:58 – 41:00

• The crew proposes silly/new hunting laws. Steven suggests memorializing near deaths with “almost died here” tombstones in the woods. Spencer pitches giving a wildlife agency to Chick-fil-A to see how efficiently they’d run it. Randall wants hunting tag lotteries to include a merit-based interview process.

“We commemorate deaths. Why don’t we commemorate where people almost died?...These are stories of hope.” — Steven ([21:35])

3. Hot Tip Off

39:18; throughout episode

• Listeners send in competing video “hot tips.” The audience votes. Winning ideas include turning laundry detergent bottles into trail cam hoods, using bread in meat grinders to push the last meat out, and making dog treats from venison trimmings.
• Each round is treated like a mini-game show; the hosts riff on practicality and originality.

“He’s telling us to buy a thing—to use it for its intended purpose... but that thing would be very helpful.” — Spencer, on a freezer monitor tip ([43:03])

4. Phil’s Trivia & Other Games

109:03, 221:00, throughout

• Randall, Corey, and others face Phil’s rapid-fire “pop culture” trivia (e.g., Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Spielberg movies).
• Other game show segments include “Price is Right” (guess the price of everything in Bass Pro) and audience-driven “Meat Poll.”

---

Notable Guests, Surprises & Cameos

Special Appearances & Goodbye Messages

45:27, 104:40, 289:01, 364:39

• Office regulars, field contributors (like Brent Reeves, Mark Kenyon, Cal, and Tony Peterson), and “store boys” drop in with heartfelt, sometimes teasing, messages.
• Family news: a baby—Virgil Edison Morris—is born hours before showtime, prompting a moving reflection from Steven:

“They seemed immensely old... as if they had traveled an immense distance to find their parents. Then, in a second, they became young.” — Steven Rinella quoting about new parenthood, ([71:07])

Cameos & Gags

101:15, 255:18, 288:24, 378:18

• Cameo budget of $100 is spent extravagantly:
  • Santa Claus delivers a custom message.
  • Richard Karn (of Home Improvement and Family Feud) congratulates the hosts.
  • The “Canadian Witch” offers tarot predictions for the show’s successors.
  • Bobo from Finding Bigfoot does a Sasquatch call and claims “the Sasquatches swim out to those rocks to get muscle.”

---

Listener Interactions & Community

Throughout

• There’s robust real-time engagement: trivia, polls, feedback, and a chat so lively that the hosts reference and joke with listeners throughout the show.
• International fans are recognized, including Mogor Petter from Hungary, who declines a live appearance but sends a moving goodbye.

“This show had a kind of magic that no pre-recorded program could ever replicate.” — Mogor, fan email ([104:31])

“Listener Feedback” Q&As

57:21, 296:44, etc.

• Book recommendations for hunting camp (McPhee, ‘Alaska’s Wolfman’, Steinbeck).
• Deep-dive on trapping/grinner (possum) control, bait selection.
• Questions about tag drawing, outdoors mishaps, and more.

---

Wild Foods, Gear, and Show and Tell

154:15; throughout

Wild Foods (“MeatEater Menu”)

• Giannis: Backstrap with steak au poivre sauce, stories of hunting with daughters.
• Spencer: “Fajioli” (Italian bean soup with ground venison), inspired by Stanley Tucci.
• Randall: Grilled bison steak—after accidentally dumping the grilled veggies meant to accompany it.

“Any BM where you don’t have cell service and you can just truly be in the moment...” — Randall on “most scenic poops” ([90:14])

Gear Talk

• Night Eyes' Daisy Chain (carabiner clothesline for wet gear; Randall)
• Exo Mountain Gear roll-top dry bag (Giannis)

---

MeatEater HQ Tour

306:30 “Mega-Section”

• Randall gives a tongue-in-cheek, full-building tour—including kitchen, gym, offices, and the podcast studio (now with wood paneling and leather furniture).
• Drops in on Steven Rinella’s office, where Steve gives a spontaneous tour of favorite mementos:
  • “That’s a black bear I left in the window... Looks like a polar bear now.”
  • “This was my dad’s old hatchet... but it’s had three new handles and two new heads!”
  • Displays a Maasai spear, a turtle shell turkey call, and offers stories about family, fishing, and “deals he should’ve taken.”

---

Tattoos, Tributes, & The Passing of the Torch

147:00, 161:13, 245:51, throughout

• Tattoos I Regret becomes Tattoos I Won’t Regret as multiple staffers (including first-timer Brody Henderson) get inked live—marking the finale’s transition.
  • Brody gets a tattoo with his Scottish clan’s Latin motto (“Virtue alone ennobles”).
  • Other tattoos: buffalo skull, grizzly prints, Highway 1 sign, and more.
• Throughout, there’s a sense of passing the torch: to the new “MeatEater News Show,” to the listeners, and to a next generation of office members and contributors.

---

Final Segments & Goodbyes

Movie Club: “Congo”

351:01; 353:11

• Randall delivers a dramatic, philosophical review (“If you wanted restraint or complexity—Congo says ‘how dare you ask!’”), highlighting themes of capitalism, resource extraction, and laser cannons.
• Special cameo: actor Dylan Walsh (lead in “Congo”) sends a heartfelt thanks:

  “Thanks for remembering Congo. Every once in a while someone brings it up and I’m proud of it.” — Dylan Walsh ([353:19])

Goodbyes, Tributes & Credits

364:39–End

• Mark Kenyon, Brent Reeves, and others send praise. The team reflects on the show’s origin, what made it unique (“lack of standards or expectations was a gift”), and the joy of sharing it live with an audience.
• Randall, Phil, and Spencer exchange thanks; shoutouts flow freely to “all the good guys.”
• Phil, in particular, is celebrated as the creative backbone of the show for his music drops, jokes, and tireless engineering.

Final Thoughts

The MeatEater Radio Live finale is an uneven, riotous, deeply sincere goodbye that captures the best (and worst) of the show’s legacy: a raucous community, wild ideas, real affection, and a steadfast unwillingness to take itself too seriously. From tattoos to taco deliveries, green room antics to emotional quotes about new fatherhood, this episode is a fitting send-off—celebrating both what the show was, and all it hoped to be.

"Thank you, MeatEater Radio Live audience. We love you. We'll see you guys next week with a whole new show." — Spencer ([410:24])

---

The Next Chapter

The torch is passed: the team promises a new "MeatEater News Show" launching next week, and, per the Canadian Witch’s tarot, maybe even future awards. Until then, fans have this 6+ hour epic to relive—full of laughs, nostalgia, wild tips, and heartfelt thanks.

For More:

• Recommended segments: One-Minute Fishing ($500-to-conservation challenge), Indefensible Laws, Movie Club: “Congo,” Brody’s first tattoo moment, and any part of the wild office tour.
• Skip: Advertisements, some food ordering shenanigans (unless you want the full chaos).

Welcome to meat eater trivia.

[Steven Rinella]

Meat eater podcast.

[Randall Williams]

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. I come here not to praise Meat Eater Radio live, but to bury him. Foreign It's 11am Mountain Time. That's 12 noon for our friends in Resolute Bay, Nunavut, on Thursday, March 5, 2026. And we are live from Eat Eater HQ in Bozeman, Montana. I'm your host, Randall Williams, joined today by my friends and dear colleagues Spencer Newharth and Stephen Rinella. 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 broadcast from start to finish. Steve is going to join us for the first hour, then Brody's going to join us, then Giannis is going to join us, then we've got a bunch of folks coming in from the office to play some games. Finally, Corey Calkins is going to join us until we ride this tired old horse into the ground.

[Steven Rinella]

I thought everybody's getting tattoos.

[Phil Taylor]

You just broke embargo, Steve. It will move past it. That's fine.

[Randall Williams]

It occurred to me last night that these five it occurred to me last

[Steven Rinella]

night that these I wanted to drop by.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, that's gonna be happening.

[Spencer Newharth]

Hold on.

[Randall Williams]

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 listener feedback. We're going to rip through a pile of 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?

[Spencer Newharth]

Good. I'm doing good. Exciting day, sad 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.

[Steven Rinella]

I like how it made it seem like you were dead in the end.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

Because then imagine the uplift.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

When there you were.

[Spencer Newharth]

The very first thing people see after that is actually Mandalorian.

[Phil Taylor]

You expect more of those. Those roller coaster rides of emotion throughout the next six hours.

[Randall Williams]

Whenever we made videos for school projects in high school, we added an in memoriam slide at the end for one of the kids involved. And it was just like something we did. So, yeah, that was fun to make. Phil 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.

[Phil Taylor]

The editing took longer than the shooting.

[Randall Williams]

Okay. Well, I'm just saying we have room in the future to do more of that. If that's Phil singing, that was me sing.

[Steven Rinella]

Oh, for real? Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

We did five takes and pick the worst one.

[Spencer Newharth]

I don't know how to take that. That.

[Steven Rinella]

You know, you knew how to sing.

[Randall Williams]

You just kind of talk. But make. Tie all the sounds together.

[Phil Taylor]

It's that easy.

[Randall Williams]

We did record another music video that is not going to make it into the show.

[Spencer Newharth]

We. 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.

[Randall Williams]

Yes.

[Spencer Newharth]

What. What didn't make it into the show? Randall was wanted to order tuxes.

[Randall Williams]

Well, as I mentioned, alluded to earlier, a shot for shot remake of the music video for I'll see you again with Wiz Khalif and Charlie Puth from the Fast and the Furious 7 soundtrack where they CGI dead Paul Walker into the moving vehicle. Oh, I didn't know that didn't make it in. Oh, yeah, the tuxedo thing. I looked into it. It seemed like an unnecessary expense and I. I don't really know of any good cost.

[Spencer Newharth]

We don't do those around here.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

Because it's probably hard to get a budget for a show that's done well.

[Randall Williams]

You'd be surprised.

[Spencer Newharth]

We found some money.

[Randall Williams]

You'd be surprised. This might be the most expensive episode of Radio Live in its history.

[Spencer Newharth]

It definitely is as expensive as every other episode we've ever done combined.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. We wanted to actually just bring a camera as we drove around Bozeman 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. Some fun surprises mixed in. If they have the patience for a six hour piece of media, we'll see later on.

[Spencer Newharth]

Randall wants to order Outback Steakhouse, which I. I've respected your commitment to that for the last few weeks. Rand will be like, you know, it'd be funny if we'd order Outback Steakhouse.

[Steven Rinella]

Why is that funny?

[Spencer Newharth]

I don't know.

[Steven Rinella]

That might be the problem with the show.

[Randall Williams]

Now, if you can look, that's not funny.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's going to be hilarious.

[Randall Williams]

I have it up on my screen

[Spencer Newharth]

right now when Randall's eating baby back ribs in the studio later. That will be quite funny.

[Randall Williams]

I might get a. A Joey Mac and cheese.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

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.

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah. The new show is going to be called the News show.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

I'm sorry I didn't enunciate, but there's an I added an S as well. The new show is the news show.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

And that'll be starting next week.

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah. Same losers you're used to. It's just. It's not live.

[Randall Williams]

It's a weekly news show and we're going to be hitting the news.

[Steven Rinella]

The news.

[Randall Williams]

We're going to be hitting our news. Our news and your news and your news. News. Yeah. So that's very exciting.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

And that's kind of what the next week of Meat Eater podcast looks like here. Should we get on with this, Phil? Sorry. We've also got Jake, the producer of the studio here.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, yes.

[Randall Williams]

And I didn't check in with you. Phil. How are you doing?

[Phil Taylor]

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 carne asada burrito I ate before I went to bed, which is probably a bad choice, but I like to think it was just the excitement and the fervor that was awaiting me today. This morning.

[Steven Rinella]

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

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, 100 elevated heart rate. Nightmares. It's bad.

[Randall Williams]

Just don't get dreams. I don't know what. I don't sleep either.

[Steven Rinella]

Glad, dude. There's nothing good about a dream, man.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, I took a melatonin last night because I didn't think I'd be able to sleep either. Just stressing out over this.

[Steven Rinella]

I take that then. I Learned. That's a. I mean, I still do now and then, but that's like you're like basically taking hormones.

[Spencer Newharth]

Well, I don't do it often, you know, just when I really need it. Like for the meat eater finale.

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah, I never put that together. That it's like a hormone treatment.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, but you're.

[Steven Rinella]

I'm no doctor. Well, keep the show going.

[Spencer Newharth]

You're getting me on horror.

[Steven Rinella]

Let's get back to that great job. That great joke about the where you're gonna have lunch.

[Randall Williams]

Our first segment is nearly one hour fishing.

[Spencer Newharth]

Do I feel lucky?

[Randall Williams]

Well, do you, punk? 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. So 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 of fish. And if they're successful, we'll make a 500 donation to a conservation group this week. Our angler is Pat Durkin, who's near Osio, Wisconsin, and he's fishing for a donation to Walleyes for tomorrow. Based in Fond D Lac, Wisconsin, he is the only two time he's on the hard water. He's 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.

[Phil Taylor]

Hey, guys, thanks for having me.

[Randall Williams]

Looks like you've got quite a crew there with you.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah. Let me introduce our crew here. This is my grandson, Eddie.

[Randall Williams]

Eddie.

[Phil Taylor]

Look at the camera. Steve is Eddie's hero.

[Steven Rinella]

What's up, Eddie?

[Phil Taylor]

My good friend Dom Flock, our resident guide and all around good fishing expert.

[Randall Williams]

Excellent, excellent. And you got quite a stack of

[Steven Rinella]

meat laying there on the ice, man.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, we've had a good morning so far. I got. I got a quick trivia question for you guys.

[Randall Williams]

You don't mind what happened 190 years ago tomorrow morning.

[Steven Rinella]

Give me a minute.

[Randall Williams]

190.

[Steven Rinella]

That's some tough math right there.

[Spencer Newharth]

Too many years. What happened, Pat?

[Phil Taylor]

1836.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, oh, tomorrow morning,

[Phil Taylor]

March 6th, 1836.

[Randall Williams]

Carry the one. I'm at a loss. Pat, what is it? Here's a great.

[Steven Rinella]

When was the Alamo?

[Randall Williams]

I don't know.

[Phil Taylor]

You're right, Steve.

[Randall Williams]

500 bucks. That's great.

[Phil Taylor]

It's not how it works.

[Randall Williams]

Now, Pat, can you tell us what you're fishing with here. If you. If you don't mind giving away a trade secret.

[Phil Taylor]

We're fishing mainly with wax worms. Also chicks that crappies have been hitting about 1 inch long ice fishing jig.

[Randall Williams]

And who's that guy?

[Steven Rinella]

Who's that guy behind you? Behind you there?

[Phil Taylor]

This is Dom Flock. Dom, you want to stay up?

[Steven Rinella]

He's the mastermind of the excursion here.

[Randall Williams]

Right.

[Phil Taylor]

I don't know how well you guys

[Randall Williams]

can see this, but we're using these Widowmaker slab spoon seekers.

[Steven Rinella]

Yep.

[Randall Williams]

Just tipped with a little plastic on.

[Phil Taylor]

I don't know if you guys can you see that?

[Giannis Patelis]

Oh, yeah, got it.

[Phil Taylor]

Yep.

[Randall Williams]

Orange and yellow.

[Phil Taylor]

And you're.

[Steven Rinella]

You're a fishing guide or you're so an enthusiast.

[Randall Williams]

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

[Steven Rinella]

Oh, 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.

[Phil Taylor]

Show Steve your bluegill too.

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah. Grab a couple of them big slabs and put them in front of the camera.

[Phil Taylor]

Put your finger right in there. Push it in hard.

[Spencer Newharth]

Bluegill, crappie and basset.

[Randall Williams]

It looks like a little mixed bag there.

[Phil Taylor]

Don't embarrass us.

[Randall Williams]

Don't. Oh, wow.

[Phil Taylor]

I think caught a 10 inch bluegill earlier.

[Randall Williams]

Very nice.

[Spencer Newharth]

Has there been any catch and release today, Pat?

[Phil Taylor]

Not at all.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Phil Taylor]

Just the little ones. Just for small ones that are not worth trouble of cleaning.

[Randall Williams]

Sure. Now is everybody going to be cleaning fish later or is that reserved for the adults in the operation?

[Steven Rinella]

I think that kid just licked his finger.

[Phil Taylor]

Eddie likes to watch. He's not quite skilled with a knife yet.

[Randall Williams]

Gotcha. Gotcha. Well, Pat, to kick off our one hour, our nearly one hour fishing here, we're gonna do a traditional one minute fishing segment and see. See if you guys can get lucky in 60 seconds as is tradition. And then after that we'll kick it back to you whenever you guys pull in a fish up until the end of our hour here. So if you guys are ready, why don't you get positioned over your holes there and give it a whirl. All right.

[Spencer Newharth]

Are jigs in the water, Pat?

[Phil Taylor]

What's that?

[Spencer Newharth]

Are jigs in the water? You going.

[Phil Taylor]

One more to go.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Phil Taylor]

Put a pause on the music.

[Spencer Newharth]

Start.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, we got.

[Randall Williams]

Let us know when you're fishing.

[Spencer Newharth]

Four anglers today.

[Phil Taylor]

I gotta rebate my hook.

[Steven Rinella]

You think you'd have been ready he's

[Spencer Newharth]

had too much success this morning.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, it looks like they're having a hard time keeping their bait on their hooks there.

[Spencer Newharth]

They're. They're fishing awful close to each other.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

They are not spread out.

[Spencer Newharth]

No.

[Phil Taylor]

This is the most lines we've ever on.

[Steven Rinella]

They're all on their count.

[Phil Taylor]

It's just the most lines we've ever had in the water for one minute fishing.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, I think it is. That's why Pat's so successful.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

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 you're always snagged up on it.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, Pat, are you ready?

[Phil Taylor]

All right, start the clock.

[Spencer Newharth]

Start the clock, start the clock. He's got one minute. Oh, he's done it twice before.

[Randall Williams]

So exciting. Can he three peat?

[Spencer Newharth]

Surprised I still have that much good ice there.

[Randall Williams]

Looks like a. Yeah, we're in the north. A nice controlled jig.

[Steven Rinella]

Oh,

[Randall Williams]

20 seconds in, he's done it again.

[Spencer Newharth]

Three.

[Randall Williams]

The only two time. And now the only three time champion of one minute fishing, Mr. Pat Durkin. Unbelievable. My goodness.

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah, he's a fast runner.

[Spencer Newharth]

American hero. One Minute fishing legend. He's done it again.

[Steven Rinella]

He's a firebrand.

[Randall Williams]

A firebrand.

[Steven Rinella]

If you read his writing, there's people that want to kill Pat Durkin.

[Randall Williams]

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 bluegill.

[Phil Taylor]

Bluegill.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, fantastic work. That little Bluegill has earned $500 as a donation to Walleyes for tomorrow. Congratulations, Pat.

[Spencer Newharth]

Well done, Pat.

[Randall Williams]

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.

[Steven Rinella]

So we'll be here back when they made real Americans. Right there.

[Randall Williams]

Congratulations to the whole Durkin clan. What a day.

[Spencer Newharth]

The whole state of Wisconsin for having it.

[Phil Taylor]

Yes.

[Spencer Newharth]

That he reps them.

[Randall Williams]

Well, talk to you in a bit, Pat.

[Steven Rinella]

God, Rod dude.

[Randall Williams]

My goodness. Well, that bodes well for today's. Today's episode. My God. Tremendously exciting. Our next segment is Indefensible Laws.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, Jesus.

[Steven Rinella]

Oh, this is mine.

[Phil Taylor]

Hey, little hunter, let me light your candle.

[Randall Williams]

Cause these truths are so hard to handle.

[Phil Taylor]

Now you say y'.

[Spencer Newharth]

All.

[Phil Taylor]

So we figured hard truths and indefensible law were basically the same segment. And I like that drop better than the My indefensible law drop.

[Randall Williams]

So there you go. Yeah, and that's your. That you have the license to do that as the artist.

[Spencer Newharth]

What is the indefensible law drop sound like?

[Phil Taylor]

It's just. It's like a law and order cue and Corinne singing over it.

[Steven Rinella]

Can you play it? Is it any good?

[Spencer Newharth]

Can we hear it at some point today?

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, I don't. I don't have it prepped right now, but we can get them in here.

[Randall Williams]

That is weak.

[Spencer Newharth]

Usually I trust your judgment, Phil, but that was better.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, you think so?

[Spencer Newharth]

I'd like to. I'm offended, Corinne coming in there.

[Randall Williams]

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 law?

[Steven Rinella]

Is it my turn?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

I have a graphic.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, give me 30 seconds on that graphic, Steve, if you want to. If you want to intro it.

[Steven Rinella]

Okay.

[Phil Taylor]

What?

[Steven Rinella]

I think as a society, culturally, yes, we spend a lot of time honoring places where people died. Roadside, you know, signs like I went to where they shot Kennedy, for instance.

[Randall Williams]

Right, right.

[Steven Rinella]

We also do a lot of markers about where we put dead people in cemeteries.

[Randall Williams]

Yep.

[Steven Rinella]

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

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh.

[Steven Rinella]

So for instance, last summer, my friend Pooter almost died in a bizarre water line.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

Accident. I mean, he got picture the most tightly wound coil of the Picture the most tightly wound coil of hard pipe.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Steven Rinella]

Thick wall, 3 inch poly pipe that's been wound tight since the beginning of time.

[Randall Williams]

This is up at the fish shack. Yeah, yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

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 part comes in. This was on Tongass National Forest. Why we had this pipe there is because of the route the pipe had to take to get to our place.

[Randall Williams]

Gotcha.

[Steven Rinella]

So I feel that I want to erect. I mean, it flattened him out

[Randall Williams]

and that. And. And would these replace traditional, like, side of death markers? Or is it just additive?

[Steven Rinella]

It just would be that someone's wandering through the woods, and they would come across this.

[Randall Williams]

That would be good.

[Steven Rinella]

And they would see that here almost

[Randall Williams]

lies Pooter, of course,

[Steven Rinella]

struck in the head by coiled pipe.

[Spencer Newharth]

Would you have any of these tombstones anyway? Yes. Give us some examples.

[Randall Williams]

What would be the most prominent of these in your legacy?

[Steven Rinella]

Well, it'd be like almost got charged by a bear or whatever.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

Do you know what I'm saying?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

Like, you can go where Custer died.

[Randall Williams]

Right.

[Steven Rinella]

But you can't go where he almost died.

[Spencer Newharth]

Probably the same place.

[Steven Rinella]

No, it'd be all over the place. It'd be like Civil War.

[Randall Williams]

And these might be more colorful stories. Like, you know, they're not as sad. Yeah, you don't.

[Steven Rinella]

Because these are stories of hope. There's stories of hope. Why didn't he die? Oh, it didn't hit him hard enough. In the case of Pooter, I'll admit.

[Randall Williams]

You texted.

[Steven Rinella]

Knocked his head off.

[Randall Williams]

You texted this image to Phil and me this morning, and I had no clue what your law would be until you got to the end of your sentence.

[Phil Taylor]

This is not what I was expecting,

[Randall Williams]

but I like it.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, I'm on board.

[Randall Williams]

I like it. Do you feel that as a society

[Steven Rinella]

we focus on the negative and maybe

[Randall Williams]

we over memorialize the negative and under memorialize the real? Close calls.

[Steven Rinella]

You remember the series we did? Close Calls. Okay.

[Randall Williams]

Close Calls. Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

Was something bad almost happened.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

Very popular series. Yeah. Blood trails is that it did happen.

[Randall Williams]

My only. My only reservation with this is that at bad intersections, they'd just be covered in these things.

[Steven Rinella]

No, no, that's not adventurous enough. This is a woodsy kind of thing.

[Randall Williams]

Okay.

[Steven Rinella]

I'm bringing this to this show.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

Listen, I thought I was at media to radio live. I'm not. I'm not down at the highway commission.

[Randall Williams]

Yep. That's fair. That's fair.

[Spencer Newharth]

Who's funding.

[Steven Rinella]

I'm not like a town hall meeting.

[Spencer Newharth]

Who's funding these tombstones?

[Steven Rinella]

Just wherever it'll come out of your guys budget.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. Well, $0 budget after today.

[Steven Rinella]

Well, that's where the budget's actually going.

[Spencer Newharth]

Sure.

[Steven Rinella]

Is to fund these tombstones. Sure, sure.

[Randall Williams]

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

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah. I'd like them to look like that.

[Spencer Newharth]

How do you think Pouder would feel about this? Would he be tickled?

[Steven Rinella]

I haven't sent it to him yet, but I'm gonna.

[Spencer Newharth]

Because, you know, you could do this.

[Steven Rinella]

Brianna 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.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

Out of marble. And took in a picture of.

[Randall Williams]

And scanned the photo.

[Steven Rinella]

And I would have faxed. I would have faxed it over. Sure. She had it done in no time. I don't know how she did it, but she did it. She's like Instantly.

[Randall Williams]

She has a lot of, like, hidden skill sets.

[Steven Rinella]

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 tombstone she made, but, like, very quickly.

[Spencer Newharth]

You could just do this, though, Steve. You could. You could put that up at your fish shack where Pooter almost died.

[Steven Rinella]

Oh, I think I will. It's a good idea.

[Spencer Newharth]

Are there any other. Would there be any other close call tombstones?

[Steven Rinella]

Lots of them.

[Spencer Newharth]

I mean, at the. At the fish shack.

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah. Be like, here almost lies Steve and his wife.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, both of you.

[Steven Rinella]

But it'd be a floating memorial.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, two tombstones.

[Steven Rinella]

I'm gonna have to tie it to a log and anchor that log out where it happened.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, that's good. Well, Spencer, do you have. What's your indefensible law here?

[Spencer Newharth]

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?

[Randall Williams]

Costco?

[Spencer Newharth]

No.

[Steven Rinella]

Meat eater?

[Spencer Newharth]

No. Well, yeah, we're number one. Number two, though, I think would be Chick fil a. They're always efficient, always consistent friends. Great stuff.

[Randall Williams]

Closed on Sundays.

[Spencer Newharth]

Closed on Sundays.

[Steven Rinella]

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.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

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, in a nice way.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, I've never lived.

[Steven Rinella]

They gave the finger in a nice way.

[Spencer Newharth]

I've never lived in the same place as a Chick fil A. 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

[Steven Rinella]

kind of throwing something in, though.

[Spencer Newharth]

What do you got?

[Steven Rinella]

Me and Yanni. This is years ago. Everybody's all chick fil a this, Chick Fil A that. We're always hearing all about it.

[Spencer Newharth]

Give me an example of what they're saying about it.

[Steven Rinella]

Oh, boy, the chicken nuggets. Oh, it's so good. It's this and that.

[Randall Williams]

Waffle fries.

[Steven Rinella]

Let me just. Nothing but respect.

[Spencer Newharth]

Sure.

[Steven Rinella]

When you go into Chick fil a, the people that work there, they seem like they could get a job at the bank.

[Spencer Newharth]

They do. I'm going.

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah, but I went there with Yanni. First time we ever stepped foot in one.

[Spencer Newharth]

What?

[Steven Rinella]

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 like this a thousand places. There's nothing special about this sandwich. Yeah, I like it that the lady that took our order could have worked at a bank if she wanted to. That was cool.

[Spencer Newharth]

My experience is that every time I've been to one, they're just perfectly run. So I would like to give them a wildlife agency 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.

[Steven Rinella]

No, because they'd make it that you can't fish on Sunday.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, 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 department.

[Steven Rinella]

That's the dumbest indefensible law I've ever heard. Well, can you change it? Can you make a thing that's called the dumbest law?

[Spencer Newharth]

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.

[Steven Rinella]

Want to be in the room.

[Spencer Newharth]

I think it would work out. I believe in them. They do that good of a job every time.

[Randall Williams]

I agree in your assessment of.

[Steven Rinella]

So you think wildlife management should be handed over to the restaurant? The private restaurant business?

[Spencer Newharth]

I trust Chick Fil A. Yes. They're. They're that good. This.

[Steven Rinella]

Hey, man, listen.

[Spencer Newharth]

Are we on radio?

[Steven Rinella]

If anybody out there is Delaware fishing game man, listen, I want you to know that I'm not saying this.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, I am. Spencer.

[Steven Rinella]

Hey, as outdoorsman, we always spend a lot of time thinking about how we interact with the land, how we care for the land.

[Randall Williams]

Well, my indefensible law I had.

[Steven Rinella]

I had one that sauce they make good on fish.

[Randall Williams]

Well, they make a bunch of different sauces. They make like a Polynesian one.

[Spencer Newharth]

That one I don't get the fanfare about.

[Phil Taylor]

It's kind of like a sweet chili, isn't it?

[Randall Williams]

I'd with chicken. I'm just like honey mustard barbecue buffalo. I don't really need anything beyond that.

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah, yeah. I hate that. That's why the show has to go off the air. Stuff like that right there.

[Spencer Newharth]

Single handedly did it.

[Randall Williams]

Well, Steve. Well, Steve, let's 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.

[Steven Rinella]

You feel it's merit based?

[Randall Williams]

Well, no, I just, I just. So my, my law would be that Fish and Fish, Wildlife and Parks in the state of Montana draws two pools for each tag.

[Steven Rinella]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

And they start calling people. If, if a successful tag draw is over.

[Steven Rinella]

You want them to call people over

[Randall Williams]

the age of 18, they call them. Me 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?

[Steven Rinella]

Where is it?

[Randall Williams]

Where somebody's like, exactly. If someone's like, I don't know. My uncle told me, this is sweet.

[Steven Rinella]

They're out.

[Randall Williams]

Then. Then they call the next person. If that guy's like, I've been looking forward to this my whole life. If I could have one opportunity, I

[Steven Rinella]

could tell you right where I'm going.

[Randall Williams]

Camp. And maybe they could even negotiate with them. They'd be like, let me tell you, if you give me this mountain goat tag, I will not put in for bighorn sheep for the rest of my life.

[Phil Taylor]

Wow.

[Randall Williams]

And that way we can kind of thin out the application pool.

[Steven Rinella]

So you picture there being like a tag concierge.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, something like that.

[Steven Rinella]

Like a vet with a. With a vetting just.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, like an awesome someone like Randall.

[Randall Williams]

An audit of the tag pool. Like, does this person really want this?

[Steven Rinella]

That's a great idea.

[Randall Williams]

If someone's like, you know, I'm not that into mountain goats, but I just put in for everything every year.

[Steven Rinella]

And, and I don't even know where that unit is.

[Randall Williams]

Or they're like, you know, I already drew a tag that month. Like, I'm going to be hunting, hunting elk in 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. So it's still lottery based, but there's an added bit of scrutiny.

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah. I think that you would do like. This is great. It's a good law.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

I'm glad.

[Steven Rinella]

I could picture that. It's great law. I could picture that.

[Spencer Newharth]

The.

[Steven Rinella]

The interviewer has some, like, discretion.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

And they put you on a sliding scale.

[Randall Williams]

Right.

[Steven Rinella]

Just to make it easier. Like, they're able to take these inputs, they're able to have a conversation, and then they're able to go like 1 to 10. Do they deserve it?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, it's like a weighted. It's like waiting grades. Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

So in the end, there's a number.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

So it's got to be a number.

[Randall Williams]

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

[Steven Rinella]

That gets expensive.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. Well, it'd be volunteer based. It'd be like a bunch of old timers that have, like, hunted sheep and goats when like anybody could get a tag, you know, or.

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah, but then they're going to be bitter.

[Randall Williams]

That's true.

[Spencer Newharth]

You know what would hurt me on this scale is I'm a guy who applies in the last, 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.

[Steven Rinella]

Because they would know that.

[Randall Williams]

Because there's also guys.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, so maybe it helps me. Then there's guys that feel better.

[Randall Williams]

There's guys that sweat it up until the last minute.

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah. And he was waiting for all the

[Spencer Newharth]

data to come in. Yes.

[Randall Williams]

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.

[Spencer Newharth]

That wouldn't.

[Randall Williams]

For the tag that I wanted.

[Spencer Newharth]

That would hurt me.

[Randall Williams]

That would have hurt you.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Well, maybe that law is defensible.

[Spencer Newharth]

Randall also doesn't like if someone posts a reminder on Instagram about, like.

[Randall Williams]

That's true.

[Spencer Newharth]

You have 24 hours to apply for the bighorn shoot test.

[Randall Williams]

I think that. I think that would have been. I think that might have been an indefensible law in the past.

[Steven Rinella]

Do you have time for a quick story?

[Phil Taylor]

Sure.

[Steven Rinella]

We got show six hours.

[Phil Taylor]

Hours.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, we've got plenty of time.

[Phil Taylor]

Please tell a long story.

[Randall Williams]

Well, I'll tell Shorty.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay.

[Steven Rinella]

When I was in. I can't remember what grade. When I was in whatever grade you're in right before you start getting to be able to vote, the teacher.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, have I told you the story? Yeah, go on though. It's a good story.

[Steven Rinella]

I probably tell the story all the time. His name was Al DeYoung and the teacher was basically said because he was supposed to encourage people to go register to vote and help them get registered to vote.

[Spencer Newharth]

What did he teach?

[Steven Rinella]

I can't remember. Government or whatever, something like that. Anyways, I just remember him saying, why would I want to dilute my vote with you people's vote?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

His thing was, remember, I'm concerned only with what affects Al DeYoung. 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.

[Randall Williams]

That's fair.

[Steven Rinella]

I don't trust you.

[Randall Williams]

They're realist. A cold, you know, clear eyed realist.

[Spencer Newharth]

I feel like I've heard other stories about that teacher. I feel like he made an impact.

[Randall Williams]

Did you ever trade a shotgun to him or.

[Steven Rinella]

No, that was a different guy. But that's also a very good story. Very good story. That's back in the old days, man.

[Randall Williams]

The good old days. We're in the good old days right now.

[Steven Rinella]

No, I didn't say good days. I said the old days. Old days. I was going to say, I always like, this is my, one of my favorite stories I'll just tell. Just remind people when they. I remember them saying, hey, you know what? This isn't whatever, high school.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

Them going, you know what? No more guns at school. And I thought, well, that's not going to work. And I remember going down. I'm not kidding. I go to the principal's office. I tell a story all the time. I go to the principal's office and I said, well, what do you mean? He goes, well, that doesn't really. That's not for the guys that hunt and stuff.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

I was like, cool. Because I was nervous for a minute.

[Randall Williams]

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. May it rest in peace. Our next segment is Hot Tip off.

[Steven Rinella]

Oh, can I ask a question?

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, please do.

[Steven Rinella]

Do you feel like you're not checking in enough on the comments?

[Phil Taylor]

I'm trying. I've been flagging the ones here and there, but it's, it's real tough, guys. Pretty soon here we're in my best.

[Spencer Newharth]

We're going to listener feedback.

[Randall Williams]

Listener feedback 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.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh no, you're fine. Do you want to set that up again?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. Our next segment is Hot Tip Off.

[Spencer Newharth]

H o T T I P R

[Randall Williams]

let's all do a hot tip.

[Spencer Newharth]

H O T T I P off.

[Randall Williams]

Let's all do a hot tip off. Hot Tip off is where two listeners go head to head with competing pieces of advice. And after we hear each tip, we'll declare which one is hotter. If you have a hot tip up until today, you could have taken a 1 minute video on your phone and emailed it to radio the mediator.com with the subject line hot tip off. But it's too late because this is the last episode.

[Steven Rinella]

Well, I don't know because I think that this could have a home in the news.

[Spencer Newharth]

Your news.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Steven Rinella]

Like a lot of this, I think sure could have a home.

[Randall Williams]

Okay, sure.

[Spencer Newharth]

Well, stand by.

[Randall Williams]

Stand. Yeah, stand by here.

[Steven Rinella]

Watching Dirk and catch fish. I mean, that's a whole episode.

[Randall Williams]

Today's contestants for our first hot tip off of the day are Thomas Yoder and Zach Venkus. Folks in the chat, make sure to vote on which hot tip is hotter. Roll that hot tape, Phil.

[Phil Taylor]

You know, I actually don't know which two I'm going to play right now because I didn't label the names, I just labeled them 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on. So.

[Steven Rinella]

So you don't know what you're serving up right now.

[Phil Taylor]

Let's find out together.

[Randall Williams]

We also didn't talk about how renew bathroom breaks.

[Spencer Newharth]

We're just getting going.

[Randall Williams]

We need to. Tyler Fox. Tyler, welcome to the show. Alright, hot tip here for those rut hunts.

[Phil Taylor]

When you got a long day and you're in the saddle, I don't know about you, but for me hitting knees on the trees, moving, I just fidget all the time.

[Randall Williams]

So what I did, I went and

[Phil Taylor]

got some camouflage nylon, sewed up a little hammock here. Now 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, went ahead and sewed up a little under quilt for it. One side I did blaze orange, other side camo. Just wrap that bad boy around, clip it in. Now your Butt's gonna be nice and toasty. If it's really cold, you can just kind of like nestle on in a

[Spencer Newharth]

little bit right here.

[Randall Williams]

And you're good to just ride it out for hours.

[Steven Rinella]

How's he gonna shoot out of that damn thing?

[Sponsor Voice 1]

Jason Trout.

[Steven Rinella]

Well, the bow, I mean.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. Hey, meat eater. My name is Jason Trout. I'm coming at you today from snowy Erie, Pennsylvania. Shout out to Brody. And today I got a hot tip for you on how to convert a standard 200 fluid ounce laundry detergent bottle into a waterproof, weatherproof trail camera hood. That will keep your camera free of debris and snow, but also not interfere with your photos. Take that same bottle. Take a utility knife. Always remember, 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 hood and get a drill. Drill some holes in the back so I can cut a slot as well as one for your cable lock. I take a hood and paint it black.

[Steven Rinella]

There you go.

[Randall Williams]

You can run your strap through. Put your camera in, strap it to a tree, you're good to go. It's taking something that you'd normally throw away, making something useful out of it.

[Steven Rinella]

There you go. Don't gotta talk about that.

[Phil Taylor]

Your.

[Randall Williams]

Your vote is for. For Jason, then?

[Steven Rinella]

Well, because the other guy. I mean, they sell those, but they.

[Spencer Newharth]

He made it more comfortable.

[Randall Williams]

No, no, he made. He made a saddle wrap to go around him while he's in his saddle.

[Spencer Newharth]

Phil, do you have a poll going for the audience as I understood it live.

[Phil Taylor]

So get those votes in. Give you a minute or two.

[Steven Rinella]

I'm just gonna shut up. I'll set the poll, decide.

[Randall Williams]

I like, give a vote. I mean, I like the. I think my vote would probably be for the trail camera cover because I just like that guy's vibe.

[Steven Rinella]

And it's recyc. It's like recycling something.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. The other guy is sewing things, which I greatly admire when it comes to people who make their own stuff.

[Steven Rinella]

Oh, yeah.

[Randall Williams]

I've often thought about taking an old sleeping bag and just cutting it off, like at the waist and putting a little zip cord in there. So when I'm like, sitting there glassing, I could pull a sleeping bag over mine because, you know, like, puffy pants work great and all, but having everything trapped inside of. So I believe they call that an elephant foot bag. Yeah, it's used by Mountaineers.

[Steven Rinella]

I got a hot tip that'll blow both these guys out of the water.

[Randall Williams]

What's that?

[Steven Rinella]

If you got little kids, get them a big insulated poncho and when they start getting cold in the boat or whatever. Yeah, put that on them. Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

I'd vote for Tyler Fox. He had the sleeping bag hammock because that dude, despite being 20ft up in a tree, he is more comfortable than 95% of people who are listening to this right now.

[Steven Rinella]

Is he going to shoot a bow out of how he's got that wig down?

[Spencer Newharth]

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.

[Phil Taylor]

I'll give you 30 more seconds on the, on the poll, guys.

[Randall Williams]

Phil, is it close?

[Phil Taylor]

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

[Spencer Newharth]

Me.

[Phil Taylor]

If you want to vote for Steve, hashtag Steve in the chat, it will not go towards anything. We can just find out now because it's not going to, it's not going to tighten up here. It's been pretty, pretty consistent. The winner with 74% of the vote was Jason with the trail cam hood.

[Steven Rinella]

I don't want a bunch of wet snow laid over the thing. He stole that from Trappers Martin Trappers. Oh, little cubby.

[Spencer Newharth]

Well, that thievery is going to get him a hundred dollar meat eater gift card. So good on you, Jason.

[Randall Williams]

Congratulations, dude. We're dropping 100.

[Steven Rinella]

I don't want to hack on the other guy, man. I mean, you know, that's cool.

[Randall Williams]

No, I like it, I like it.

[Spencer Newharth]

We've got five more hot tip offs coming to you later today.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, yeah. And we might not get to the Last 1 until 4:55, but we'll get there. Phil, at this point we have a few messages from the crew. Why don't you play, want to play Clay's message here?

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, let's do it. Clay had a message for Radio Live.

[Randall Williams]

Radio Live. I mean, I'm, 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 Bozeman 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.

[Spencer Newharth]

We'll see you down the road. What a nice, respectful message.

[Steven Rinella]

Something I'll get from my wife someday.

[Randall Williams]

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 different.

[Steven Rinella]

Never that close.

[Randall Williams]

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

[Spencer Newharth]

You don't think he threw that on for his goodbye message?

[Randall Williams]

I don't know. I think he's been trying. I think he's been doing a little fashion show with all his arctic gear

[Steven Rinella]

because he's from down south and he's going up north and he's really confused about how to try to stay warm.

[Spencer Newharth]

I think that message is going to be very familiar with the rest of the crew members who tell us goodbye today.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, I would like to say, you know, he. 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.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, you're right.

[Randall Williams]

I would have to count Bread's airfare and hotel for that. But yeah. Let's see what Tony has to say here. Phil Meat Eater, Radio Live Crew. Just sending you 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

[Phil Taylor]

just who happened to be available in the Bozeman office.

[Randall Williams]

I like that. I really like how there was, you know, sometimes guests, but mostly just not,

[Spencer Newharth]

I guess, or maybe some call in

[Randall Williams]

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. That's, you know, something that you can say about it.

[Phil Taylor]

So true.

[Randall Williams]

So I'm sad to see it go, but it sounds like we have a lot of good stuff in the hopper and we will. You know, these are. These are big shoes to fill, but

[Steven Rinella]

I think we'll figure something out and

[Randall Williams]

I think we've got some good stuff coming. So congratulations to all involved and we'll see you on the next adventure. Oh, what a sweetheart.

[Steven Rinella]

I mean, you know, that's what really sticks to me, that, like, how the segments on the show are. Are part of the show.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, yeah, that was Tony's message.

[Steven Rinella]

That really hits me.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, it was a podcast.

[Randall Williams]

It was a podcast that was recorded live in the studio.

[Steven Rinella]

That really hit me

[Phil Taylor]

really, really quick. Guys, I don't know. 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 peek trailer for season two? Is that. Yeah, I think now would be a good idea. You think we can do that?

[Randall Williams]

That's great.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay, why don't we.

[Randall Williams]

For the first time ever.

[Phil Taylor]

Great. Here we go.

[Randall Williams]

For years, it echoed 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 Meat Eater Radio Live.

[Phil Taylor]

We found I've been a very active chapter.

[Steven Rinella]

But then.

[Randall Williams]

Silence.

[Steven Rinella]

This season on Blood Trails, we investigate the mysterious death of Meat Eater Radio Live.

[Randall Williams]

Was it poor ratings, internal politics, a rogue comment section?

[Steven Rinella]

Or did the show wander into territory

[Giannis Patelis]

someone didn't want explored?

[Randall Williams]

You're only 15ft away from this thing and it's giving you the side eye. If I'm in that close, I'm drawn and ready with lethal force. These smaller cartridges are capable of cleanly killing everything from. From bears to moose. Just raise your hand if you think this is probably the best ever. Media Radio Live. I think he's horny.

[Phil Taylor]

I think that's what it's probably.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, wow. There was no body, no closure. Just an empty time slot where hunters

[Spencer Newharth]

once gathered to debate broadheads and back straps.

[Randall Williams]

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 300 win mag?

[Spencer Newharth]

I just can't.

[Randall Williams]

New hot cartridges are so lame to me. Was it murder?

[Sponsor Voice 1]

Mercy killing?

[Steven Rinella]

Or did Brody finally get caught using fake reading glasses to look smarter than he is?

[Randall Williams]

Oh, there you are. We're all done with those, Phil.

[Spencer Newharth]

Tune in next week for a brand

[Randall Williams]

new totally real episode of Blood Trails.

[Steven Rinella]

The murder of Meat Eater Radio Live.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, that's chilling. Oh, man, chilling.

[Spencer Newharth]

I'm sorry I doubted you on that idea, Randall.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, this was one of my ideas that seemed like it wasn't going to happen. And Jordan executed it to perfection.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, well done, Jordan.

[Giannis Patelis]

Along.

[Phil Taylor]

Along with Jake. Thank you, Jake, for putting that together.

[Randall Williams]

Well done, guys.

[Steven Rinella]

I can't wait to watch. I'm dying to know what happened.

[Randall Williams]

Should we. Should we check in with Pat here?

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, let's see if. Let's see if he's paying any attention.

[Spencer Newharth]

See if that pile of fish is doubled by now.

[Phil Taylor]

I hear you.

[Steven Rinella]

What happened to everybody?

[Randall Williams]

But they get bored with the show, Pat?

[Phil Taylor]

No, I was just grabbing my sandwich.

[Steven Rinella]

There's your guy's problem right there, huh, Pat?

[Spencer Newharth]

Did everybody else fall in? Where's the rest of your crew?

[Phil Taylor]

Well, Eddie had to go back to second grade. Dom's still here, so it's just two of us now. We got a few more crappies and a couple more bluegills.

[Randall Williams]

Incredible.

[Spencer Newharth]

What. What did his absence note say from school? That he had to go be on a live podcast.

[Phil Taylor]

This gets very complicated, Spencer, because his little sister is in. Is in kindergarten and got to go snowboarding out west the last three days. So to keep him calm, they told them earlier this week that he gets to go on Meat Eater Radio live with me.

[Spencer Newharth]

Wow.

[Giannis Patelis]

And.

[Phil Taylor]

And that that meant a lot to him. You could tell he was, like, really excited all week about this. Okay, so you guys made his day.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's. It's a good time to be a Durkin grandchild then. They're just doing all kinds of stuff around the country.

[Phil Taylor]

It's, you know, it's a lot of fun. And keep those kids. Yeah, I made. Last weekend, I made Eddie a wing bone call for turkey season, so we're getting ready for that, too.

[Randall Williams]

Pat, how many fish would you say you've caught since we last checked in with you?

[Phil Taylor]

Only about. I'd say four or five. It slowed down.

[Randall Williams]

Well, according to the rules of nearly one hour fishing, we're gonna add a dollar to the pot for every fish that you've caught. So we'll be donating either 504 or $505 to Walleyes for tomorrow.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, my goodness.

[Phil Taylor]

That's great.

[Randall Williams]

Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Are you going to be out there all day, Pat?

[Phil Taylor]

No, we'll probably shut down pretty soon because I gotta go home and clean fish.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, you're living the dream.

[Phil Taylor]

Yep, no complaints here.

[Randall Williams]

Alrighty. Well, Pat, again, congratulations on being the one and only three time winner of One Minute Fishing. It's a. 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, you know, your final days here.

[Spencer Newharth]

We will erect a One Minute Fishing hall of fame in the office here. Pat, you're going to be the only inductee

[Phil Taylor]

I could not be more proud.

[Randall Williams]

All right, Pat, great to see you. Thanks for. Thanks for joining us here. And congratulations once again.

[Phil Taylor]

You bet. Thanks for having me on.

[Spencer Newharth]

Thank you, Pat.

[Randall Williams]

Oh boy, what a guy.

[Steven Rinella]

[Randall Williams]

Well, Phil, is it time that we get into some listener feedback here?

[Phil Taylor]

Let's get into some listener feedback. 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 it out of the park and it's impossible to keep up with you. But I'll try my best. We have a question. I'll try to get some Steve focused ones while he's here for the next few minutes. Yeah, this is from Russell Wickland. He asks what is the go to book to bring to hunting camp this year? Alaska Moose in September. He's got plenty of audiobooks for the 56 hour drive to where he's going. If you guys have any recommendations, I'd

[Sponsor Voice 1]

have to know more.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, you need more details than that? Well, do you have any like, like just kind of general picks, books you've read recently that you've enjoyed? Classics?

[Steven Rinella]

Well, I'm trying to think if he's going to Alaska. Let's, let's just say that, like, he wants to get in the mood. He wants to be in the mood. I would go with, I would go with Coming into the country by John McPhee. I would go with Alaska's Wolfman. Just throwing some off top of my head. I would go with It's a little Northea. But if you're a, if you're an intellectual fella and you got a good, and you got. Yeah. I don't know if I knew you better, I might say Arctic Dreams from an author who's kind of uneasy with hunting.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. And that's one that would be good for a hunting camp where you're doing a lot of sitting and waiting.

[Steven Rinella]

A lot of sitting and waiting.

[Randall Williams]

If you're doing a rooftop moose hunt.

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah. If you're ridgetop hunting where you get in a contemplative mood. Arctic dreams. But I think Coming into the country is, is just a phenomenal, a phenomenal Alaska book. But it's such a rich category. I mean, there's a bazillion great Alaska books, man.

[Randall Williams]

There's also just like classic Jack London stuff. I mean, that's, no, well, whatever. I, I, I downloaded like a. Because you can get a bunch of just like classic books on Kindle or whatever on your phone, you know, for like 99 cents.

[Steven Rinella]

We don't know that He's a bargain hunter.

[Randall Williams]

I don't know if he said as

[Steven Rinella]

a bargain thinking volume.

[Randall Williams]

Moby Dick, moose hunter, but what, now

[Steven Rinella]

you're just naming books?

[Randall Williams]

Moby Dick works metaphorically for a moose hunt. It's a man on a quest.

[Steven Rinella]

I got it.

[Spencer Newharth]

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 I've given five stars and that was Travels with Charlie in Search of America by John Steinbeck. 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 and travels with Charlie. He drives around the whole country and stops.

[Steven Rinella]

Oh, no, no, no. Read his thing more carefully.

[Spencer Newharth]

What, for the 56 hour drive?

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah, he's got plenty.

[Spencer Newharth]

Understood.

[Steven Rinella]

He's looking for like what to read when he's there.

[Spencer Newharth]

Travels with Charlie in search of America.

[Randall Williams]

I mean, so he can reflect on

[Spencer Newharth]

his drive after you've gone through, you know, a whole bunch of states.

[Steven Rinella]

But you're just naming books. You're not even like cherry picking for the experience. I just, if he said just name, I would have done that.

[Spencer Newharth]

A long road trip, 56 hours.

[Steven Rinella]

He doesn't need him for the road trip.

[Spencer Newharth]

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.

[Steven Rinella]

Oh, I got you very good book.

[Randall Williams]

Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment.

[Phil Taylor]

There you go. Shady kid asks and I think Shady's in the chat a lot. Oh yeah, he's a loyal, loyal.

[Randall Williams]

This is a Steve question for sure.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, I've been trying to catch a coyote with a dirt hole set with a little meat and gland and urine lure. But stress that with a period. I keep catching grinners instead. Should I not use meat? How can I keep possums out?

[Steven Rinella]

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 in very specific places. Like instead of trying to draw them into some loud crazy situation they never encountered, putting it right where they want to be, right on the ditch row or right on the trail, they run a run. If it's a tilled field, right down the groove they want to run. If they're running a two track, it's like you're right in there and. And just minimum. Minimum attractants. Just going like, subtle because it's. But it's when you. It's hard because in your head, you're thinking that you're just gonna have fresh dirt thrown out. You're gonna have 18 smells going on. It's gonna have visual appeal. It's gonna smell like something rotten. And that's all great, man. But it's like you're trying.

[Randall Williams]

You're.

[Steven Rinella]

You're catching.

[Randall Williams]

You.

[Steven Rinella]

You're. You're making a set that you think. You're making a set that you think would look appealing. Subtlety.

[Randall Williams]

This an analogous situation from my own past is when we were, like, growing up and wanting to catch catfish. Would have our parents drive us to Meijer and go buy, like, stink baits that you stuff in tubes and all this other. That looks good that you see on tv. It's like as soon as we switch to just a worm and 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 false bill of goods, Right?

[Steven Rinella]

I'll one up you, not one up you, but I'll stack that on you. Over the years on halibut, it. 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. Anyways, that'll keep the grinners down.

[Spencer Newharth]

You ever struggle with too many possums in your coyote traps?

[Steven Rinella]

Only back in when I. Yeah, but we don't have them here.

[Randall Williams]

But.

[Steven Rinella]

But in Michigan, yeah. Grinners. Trapping red fox grinners was a real problem. Was a real issue, you know? But during the mini fur boom. I was talking recently with Stu Miller. During the mini fur boom of 2011-2014. Stu Miller said he was paying for his gas with grinners during the mini boom.

[Randall Williams]

Interesting. Grinners for gas.

[Steven Rinella]

Next question.

[Phil Taylor]

Who on the meat eater crew?

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah, just try flat sets.

[Phil Taylor]

Great. Would last the longest on the show alone. You guys have any thoughts about this?

[Steven Rinella]

Whoever's not married, that makes sense.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, you.

[Phil Taylor]

You think. You think marriage would be the biggest hurdle?

[Steven Rinella]

Dude, if I was doing that, I'd have the time of my life, but my wife would be pissed.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

How are you supposed to explain that?

[Randall Williams]

What else you got there, Phil?

[Phil Taylor]

There's another trapping question. Oh, from T. Woods. What's the number one bit you've used for trapping raccoons?

[Steven Rinella]

Is he talking about coon? Coughs?

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah. You know, I doubt we're gonna get any clarification.

[Steven Rinella]

Brody's out there flipping us off through the window.

[Spencer Newharth]

Can I guess what your answer will be? Sardines.

[Steven Rinella]

Like in pocket sets? In pocket sets With. With lure. Any kind of. Like any kind of fish with in pocket sets.

[Randall Williams]

Lures.

[Steven Rinella]

I used to use a lot of smelt heads and stuff. I don't know, just whatever coon cost. That's a whole different story.

[Spencer Newharth]

Number one bait. Give him an answer, though, for number one bait.

[Steven Rinella]

Depends.

[Spencer Newharth]

Can't give him just.

[Randall Williams]

Next question.

[Phil Taylor]

These questions have been coming in almost every week, but I don't think Steve's been here for one. It's that time of the year. I think people are excited. This is from Dallas. Now that it is tag application season, what tags are you hoping for and what tags are you confident in getting?

[Spencer Newharth]

I don't. I'm not reaching for any big tags this year. The one thing I am trying to do, I want to hunt Kansas rifle season in December. 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. Of those 22 letters, I'm at zero permissions right now, and their tag deadline is in late April, so I'm trying to secure a permission before late April. That's more about. Less about the tag application. I know I will draw because I have the points, but I just don't have the spot to hunt yet. So that's like, the big thing I'm working towards right now.

[Randall Williams]

Are you gonna have to do a cannonball run? Door knocking trip?

[Spencer Newharth]

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 when I'm gonn.

[Steven Rinella]

You don't want, like, a permission from, like, someone that you're. That the people you know, know.

[Spencer Newharth]

Do you have a permission for me? I'm just.

[Steven Rinella]

I'm just asking.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yes. If Steve has a permission.

[Steven Rinella]

Part of the thing is you like to get it.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, I mean, that's. It's like. It gives me butterflies in my stomach if I get a permission. It's like as satisfying.

[Steven Rinella]

You don't want someone to just hand you a permission.

[Spencer Newharth]

If you want to hand me a permission, I'll. I'll take a hand. Given permission.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

I feel like I've earned it now. I've sent out my 22 letters. I scouted these landowners. I creeped their Facebook. I'm like, oh, they don't hunt. Their grandchildren don't hunt. I can. I can secure permission, but it hasn't.

[Steven Rinella]

You're kind of spying.

[Spencer Newharth]

So if you receive one of these

[Randall Williams]

letters from Spencer, you're feeling very uncomfortable.

[Steven Rinella]

Return to sender right there.

[Randall Williams]

It's even weirder than you thought.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's also a compliment because I think you got big, giant whitetail bucks on your property.

[Randall Williams]

Creep.

[Spencer Newharth]

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'd like to look for, like a 7 out of 10.

[Giannis Patelis]

10.

[Steven Rinella]

You don't want a 10 out of 10, Steve.

[Spencer Newharth]

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.

[Steven Rinella]

I understand. I'm done. I leave.

[Randall Williams]

Well, we can answer a few more questions. Do you have any tags you're hoping for this year?

[Spencer Newharth]

Always just doesn't want to share.

[Steven Rinella]

No, I don't mind sharing.

[Phil Taylor]

Always. That's fair.

[Spencer Newharth]

You gonna share all of them? Bill, do you have any other Steve specific questions to get to?

[Phil Taylor]

None that I have flagged.

[Randall Williams]

Flagged.

[Phil Taylor]

Right now there's a question about Steve

[Randall Williams]

and Yanni, if they'll ever sport facial hair.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, yes.

[Spencer Newharth]

Huh.

[Steven Rinella]

I think about it now and then.

[Spencer Newharth]

What do you think about it?

[Steven Rinella]

You know what would impress people is in my lower back.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

I sometimes will grow a hair. I know about this because my wife will grab them and show them to me.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh.

[Steven Rinella]

I'll sometimes grow a hair longer than my middle finger.

[Spencer Newharth]

God dang.

[Steven Rinella]

Out of my lower back. But he'll be all alone. What do you make of that?

[Randall Williams]

Well, it's a tree. You know, it's like a tree that doesn't have any competition from any other trees.

[Steven Rinella]

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 a chunk of plywood's laying out in your yard.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

And you move it.

[Randall Williams]

It.

[Steven Rinella]

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. Yeah. Trying to get to the sunlight. That's like the hairs on my ass neck.

[Randall Williams]

So

[Steven Rinella]

I don't know.

[Spencer Newharth]

Take.

[Randall Williams]

Take that for what you will.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. That's to answer your question about facial hair.

[Randall Williams]

The ass neck making its first and last appearance on Meat Eater Radio Live.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, that's a. That's a time for Steve to leave.

[Randall Williams]

Before Steve leaves. Before Steve leaves. I. I meant to hit this off the top, but I. I feel like it's fitting that you're here. I'm excited to announce the world that Virgil Edison Morris this morning. Hell yes. Baby and mother are happy and healthy. Seth says. And I have a text in my phone. I transcribed it. Here. 7 pounds, 65, 6.5 ounces, 20 inches. Like a real good large mouth bass.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

So listen, congratulations to the entire Morris clan.

[Steven Rinella]

I got more to say on this subject.

[Randall Williams]

Yes.

[Steven Rinella]

I want you to know that I've, like, you know, me and Seth caught a. We're working on our video. Our cat video.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

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 agreed when we caught the cat, I was just in a good mood and I didn't know what I was saying.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

I said, let's when we sell that cat. Because we weren't technically working. We were just dinking around. I was like, when we sell that cat, we're going to put it into Virgil's little bank account. High on the hog now.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, he's got.

[Steven Rinella]

He's gonna be going to Harvard.

[Randall Williams]

Plenty of diapers.

[Spencer Newharth]

Steve, do you know the song the Night They Drove Old Dixie Down?

[Steven Rinella]

Oh, yeah, of course.

[Spencer Newharth]

I was trying to get Seth to listen to it. He'd never heard it yet because it's about a man named Virgil.

[Steven Rinella]

Virgil Cain is my name.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's right.

[Steven Rinella]

The Granville Train.

[Spencer Newharth]

Love that song.

[Steven Rinella]

Can I read something, please? I'm gonna share with you guys one of my favorite quotes.

[Randall Williams]

Please.

[Steven Rinella]

This is dedicated to. I sent it to Seth this morning to him and his wife to say. Now you'll finally understand the quote. Are you ready? 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 in Egyptian sculpture, as if they had traveled an immense distance to find their parents. Then, in a second, they became young.

[Spencer Newharth]

A mic drop. Beautiful, Steve.

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah, right there, buddy.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

That little baby Comes out. He seems like a crazy little alien. And then all of a sudden, you're like, oh, it's a little baby.

[Phil Taylor]

There's.

[Randall Williams]

There's new life. There's new life on the outside world. In here, only death.

[Steven Rinella]

Yep. When you first see that baby, your first thought. It's terrible.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

Your first thought is, oh. And then a couple minutes later, you're

[Randall Williams]

like, oh, yeah, he's so cute.

[Spencer Newharth]

Little baby.

[Randall Williams]

I'm looking forward to meeting this. This nice young man. Radio as Spencer likes to go.

[Steven Rinella]

Well, I. I had to settle. I had to level with him and Kelsey this morning over text.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

And inform him that that baby doesn't look like either of them.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh.

[Steven Rinella]

No one ever tells anybody that.

[Randall Williams]

No.

[Spencer Newharth]

Except you.

[Randall Williams]

Maybe we should.

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah, you're right. They say nothing. Or they say it looks like you, or they keep. No one ever goes, it doesn't look like you.

[Randall Williams]

I've never thought babies looked like anybody.

[Spencer Newharth]

I agree.

[Randall Williams]

Because I don't walk around seeing something like, you look like a baby. You know, it's like the inverse. I'm out, right? You're out.

[Phil Taylor]

Thank you so much, Steve. Thank you, Steve.

[Randall Williams]

Ladies and gentlemen, Steven Rinella for the very last time on Meat Eater Radio Live. And this show will continue.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, yes, we have a. Just really quick. We have a new host shuffling in. I am going to do a stopover for the podcast version of this episode. The video feed will continue, so this will be YouTube 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. If you guys just want to make.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, hop in there, Brody. Hop in there.

[Phil Taylor]

Talk about your day and a quick break here.

[Randall Williams]

Can you put me on the list since I'm in here?

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, yes, that list. Really quick, you guys. I wasn't rolling on the podcast version, which is fine because I didn't play the drop. So if you just want to do a quick recap of everything you just said. Damn it, Phil.

[Randall Williams]

No, no, no, we shouldn't do that. Let's just keep it going. Okay, well, for the listeners out there who aren't watching, I brought in a micro spike for show and tell that my son shot. Micro spikes. Micro spikes. What else did you expect? A micro spike. Ladies and gentlemen, for the very last time on Meat Eater Radio Live, it's another show and tell, and Brody's got the smallest buck in the world. Spencer, what did you bring for the classroom here?

[Spencer Newharth]

I brought you a replica of the Patterson Gimlin Bigfoot track in California from 1967.

[Steven Rinella]

Wow.

[Spencer Newharth]

This. This is the, you know, the most famous footage of Bigfoot that exists. It's like, you know, imagine that grainy footage of a boulder creek in Northern California where the Bigfoot kind of looks at the camera and he's got his arms out.

[Randall Williams]

He's walking suspiciously like a human.

[Spencer Newharth]

Like a Bigfoot. Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Anyway, I have so many questions.

[Spencer Newharth]

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, 7 inches wide. This is one of the absolute dumbest things I've ever purchased.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, I was going to say. How much did the gift shop get get you?

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, no, this was off E.B. take a guess. We'll do an early game. The price is right as to what that cost.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Who'd you get?

[Spencer Newharth]

You got it from some off eBay.

[Randall Williams]

89.

[Spencer Newharth]

Some big.

[Randall Williams]

No, I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say 499.

[Spencer Newharth]

499. It was $40 with $20 shipping, so I paid $60. And I'm very happy. I did. 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. I'm very glad I have this. It looks great in my office. It's made of gypsum cement. It's about as thick as a deck of cards. And, 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.

[Randall Williams]

A mold of the original mold.

[Spencer Newharth]

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 proud.

[Randall Williams]

Do you ever bring it down to fishing access sites and stomp it through the sand?

[Spencer Newharth]

No. Oh, but that's. That's clever. Now I should do this.

[Randall Williams]

What is the equivalent human shoe size?

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, man. I don't think it exists again. 15 inches?

[Randall Williams]

No. I feel like Shaq's foot is twice that size. I bet it's quite.

[Spencer Newharth]

Are you wearing Crocs today, Randall?

[Randall Williams]

No.

[Spencer Newharth]

No.

[Randall Williams]

Okay.

[Spencer Newharth]

No. Okay. I was gonna have you put that up here.

[Randall Williams]

We can do it.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, you got it. You got a size 13. So we'll see what a. Randall 13.

[Randall Williams]

It's not that.

[Spencer Newharth]

You know what?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, I mean, 17 or an 18. Sorry. Have my shoe very close to your face. Well, that's fascinating. I always wanted to get, like, just carve out a wood, some bigfoot feet like that. And then when I was guiding, like, run my jet boat up on a beach, walk across the beach, have someone drive the jet boat to the other side and pick me up. So there's just like, after the water comes down during, like a high water event, just have a fresh beach with some bigfoot tracks on it. Never got around to it.

[Spencer Newharth]

That'd be in a remote place where you'd have to talk yourself into someone doing that.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

To trick you.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. It's like, why would anybody spend their time doing this?

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

But then again, here we are on hour two of meat eater radio live.

[Spencer Newharth]

Randall, what do you have for show and tell?

[Randall Williams]

Well, I brought a. A clavicle from a moose. And it's got a hole in it.

[Spencer Newharth]

Now, what could that be from?

[Randall Williams]

It's from a 180 grain Corlock. I was lucky enough to draw a shirus moose tag probably. God, 12 years ago.

[Spencer Newharth]

In what state?

[Randall Williams]

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's. Oh, my God. Who could that be, Bill?

[Phil Taylor]

That was Steve. Okay. No idea what he wants.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. So I had a buddy who's living down in the Bitterroot at the time, and my tag was down there, and I was driving down to hunt, and I was talking to him, and he's like, do you have a shoulder blade? And I said, no, I don't. Oh, for raking bushes. 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. That. And I had it out there smashing stuff. And. And the. The bull I killed actually, like, he. Before shooting light, I could see him out in the field.

[Spencer Newharth]

And he.

[Randall Williams]

And this cow went down. And I was just, like, heartbroken. I was like, I'm not gonna see this thing again. I'm like, well, I do have a. Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

Call.

[Randall Williams]

Like, I guess I could try to see if this stuff works. And I started whacking 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, this 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. It's like a memory of that because it was really funny. I, like, traded one shoulder blade for another.

[Spencer Newharth]

So you're just replicating a different bull who's raking his ambush.

[Randall Williams]

Just sounds like. Yeah. But Steve.

[Phil Taylor]

Steve was calling to say it's a scapula, not a clavicle. That is.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, yeah, that's true.

[Phil Taylor]

Stephen Rinella.

[Randall Williams]

Sorry.

[Spencer Newharth]

We put that on the news show. Correct. We knew what.

[Randall Williams]

Can we cut that out of here?

[Phil Taylor]

Yes. Snip, snip.

[Randall Williams]

I don't know why I said cut. That thing's getting a little greasy and yellow, though. You need to retreat it.

[Phil Taylor]

It is?

[Randall Williams]

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 leeching that oil again and they get. Yeah, kind of. You got to redo them. Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

Hey, as outdoorsmen, we always spend a lot of time thinking about how we interact with the land, how we care for the land.

[Randall Williams]

Phil, where do we stand? What would you like to do?

[Phil Taylor]

We've got a few minutes until we can start the segment that you all know is coming.

[Randall Williams]

You put me on the list, Phil.

[Phil Taylor]

Yes, you are number one. Should we hit some.

[Randall Williams]

Should we hit some Cheticate?

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, we can see what our good buddy Chester, all right. Has to say.

[Randall Williams]

Our next segment is Chetekid Kit.

[Phil Taylor]

There's Do I have a Chet?

[Randall Williams]

Take it away Chat.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, I totally have a Chet.

[Randall Williams]

You're live. Find out what it means to C

[Phil Taylor]

T I Q U T E. There we go.

[Randall Williams]

All right. And then as discussed. Hello everybody. Chester Floyd coming at you from Wisconsin. I've got a chat kit question for you this week week from Justin wrote in.

[Spencer Newharth]

He's from Minneapolis and he says seven

[Randall Williams]

years ago a very generous friend mentored

[Spencer Newharth]

me on my first hunt.

[Randall Williams]

Since then I've hunted whitetails each season on his property and in neighbors in west central Wisconsin. And I've been fortunate enough to have

[Spencer Newharth]

that is the HQ times and given heartfelt gifts.

[Randall Williams]

But I still feel like I can't fully repay their hospitality.

[Spencer Newharth]

With several young kids at home, it's

[Randall Williams]

hard to get there more often. How do you keep balance in relationships like that? At worst, I'll make sure their freezers

[Spencer Newharth]

are full when they are no longer hunting as much.

[Randall Williams]

Well, Justin, I can relate a little bit.

[Spencer Newharth]

And wrote a little song here.

[Randall Williams]

I've got kids like you. Why do they always have to have the flu? Ears to a good dad? I'm thinking too hard to hoo. Yeah, it's hard to find the time Wanting to give is always on my mind here's two good folks and thinking too hard o. Even helped him out with the land and gave a gift. It's a real good plan. You're a good man and you're thinking too hard. Oh, Justin. I picked this one because it's not controversial.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's good etiquette, and we need guys like you.

[Randall Williams]

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 you 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. Where'd Spencer go? Spencer, I think, went to the bathroom without telling anybody. Phil and I were talking this morning, and we thought we should actually make it a point to announce when we're going to the bathroom. Yeah, you guys are gonna have to work out, like, scheduled breaks if those Coors lights are gonna keep making an appearance. That's a good point. That's a good point, Phil. What? What?

[Giannis Patelis]

You know what?

[Randall Williams]

I was running yesterday, like, in a neighborhood in Bozeman. Speaking of peeing, I was running and Big wizard here. Look at this guy. There's these dudes parked at, like, on the street outside of this. This other dude's house. They're like. They're working, doing some kind of, like, construction project or something. And, like, in downtown Bozeman, dude, like, opens his truck door and just starts taking a leak in the street right behind his truck door. That's cool.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. You don't see that?

[Phil Taylor]

That's how it should be.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. You know, are we still doing Chatt

[Randall Williams]

was out in the country? I wouldn't think twice, but, you know, no, we kind of moved on from Chatticut. 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 cover of See youe Again

[Phil Taylor]

would have been better.

[Spencer Newharth]

So you guys already answered the Chetic.

[Randall Williams]

Chester did. Chester did.

[Spencer Newharth]

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?

[Randall Williams]

No, it was like A how he says thank you. Yeah. If he was thanking this guy well enough, and Chet said he was doing more than. More than most people. Yeah. And that's the perfect question for Chester, because he's probably the most conscientious member of our staff here.

[Spencer Newharth]

If I. You know, obviously it means a lot to that guy. What he could do is he could send that landowner that video. Like, look how much this means to me. I wrote into a podcast that's canceled to get advice on how. If I'm thanking you enough.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's how I think that can backfire

[Randall Williams]

if you're like, see? Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

See what I'm doing? You know what I find that's, like, a good thing, like a good message deliver to landowners. Just like, be real genuine, and be like, this is my favorite thing in the world is deer hunting, and you're allowing me to do that, and that just means so much to me. I say that to all the landowners that are. I get permission from, and I think that's, you know, just a nice thing to hear. Just be real honest.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, that's cool. Phil. 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.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah. Some of the live show certainty regarding things by ear. We can't.

[Randall Williams]

What was Corey doing out there?

[Spencer Newharth]

I don't know what he was doing. I think he was delivering food. I'll say one more thing, back to the chatty kids. Today is Chester's last day at Meat Eater. He told me I was allowed to tell that to our audience.

[Randall Williams]

I think that's more of, like, technicality. He's still part of Meat Eater. Yeah. He'll always be a meat eater.

[Spencer Newharth]

I'm gonna pour one out here for Chester.

[Phil Taylor]

Can you see just right on the studio floor there?

[Spencer Newharth]

Right on the studio floor.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, there we go.

[Spencer Newharth]

We poured one out for Chester.

[Randall Williams]

Shout out, Chester. Can't wait for it to get real hot in here. Oh, yeah, stinky.

[Spencer Newharth]

I almost put on a hoodie this morning.

[Randall Williams]

Smell like brewery.

[Spencer Newharth]

I. It's got to be a T shirt.

[Randall Williams]

No, no, it's a T shirt day for sure.

[Phil Taylor]

Phil, what do you think we can answer some listener feedback while we're waiting?

[Randall Williams]

Feedback?

[Phil Taylor]

This is from Dan B. Pooper. His question is, what was your most scenic poop?

[Spencer Newharth]

Wow.

[Phil Taylor]

Do you have any that stand out?

[Spencer Newharth]

Hmm.

[Randall Williams]

Scenic, you know. Sorry. Go ahead.

[Spencer Newharth]

On the Pacific coast, I was camping on the ocean on Washington coastline. No bathroom for. For. For many, many miles. I was. Had just gotten there and set up my tent and had to do that right there. So that was a very scenic spot.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, I. 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 a. It's like an outhouse kind of thing?

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Without the house part. Just a whole. Yeah. 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.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's pleasant.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. I'd have to say any of my like Alaska moose caribou experiences, like sitting on a ridge top, dropping a deuce, and you're kind of like, you know, looking over your shoulder for a 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. There you go, you know? Yep.

[Spencer Newharth]

Sam Soholt, he has talked about making a coffee table book called like the Prettiest Places I've pooped, which would just be a POV picture that's taken, you know, with the camera facing away from him.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

From the pretty places.

[Randall Williams]

Maybe get some kneecaps in the foreground

[Spencer Newharth]

that he's done a number two.

[Phil Taylor]

Well, while we were talking breaks earlier, it made me think. I think they use code names for that on the sets of movies and TV. Like they'll call. I think a 10 one is. They're going. They're just urinating. A 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 apartment name. Would suffering violent diarrhea from a crunchwrap supreme count as a woodsy death if I were in a tree stick?

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, sure.

[Randall Williams]

I mean, if getting Taco Bell induced diarrhea counts as a death, then yeah. I mean, I'm like 10 cats.

[Spencer Newharth]

There'd be a lot of cats.

[Randall Williams]

I've got 900 lives. If you were found at the base of your tree stand on the ground covered in your own excrement.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, yeah, I think. I think Steve, we'd have to twist his arm, but he would put up one of those tombstones there that Samson Brown almost died here. Violent diarrhea.

[Randall Williams]

I did have a comment on Steve's thing like memorials.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. He would also.

[Randall Williams]

It could. It would have to be more than like headstones. You'd have to develop a buoy for near deaths on the water. That's good. What else we got here? Phil

[Phil Taylor]

Fusital says no question. Just thank you all for the great material. Really gonna miss this show.

[Randall Williams]

I don't think that's a soft sea, Phil. I don't think that's a soft C at all. But that's nice.

[Spencer Newharth]

P H U C. It's the last episode. Just say it.

[Phil Taylor]

Well, it's someone's name so I can't get in trouble for saying fuck it all.

[Spencer Newharth]

There you go.

[Randall Williams]

713.

[Spencer Newharth]

Thank you for watching.

[Phil Taylor]

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?

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, wow.

[Phil Taylor]

To find fossils.

[Spencer Newharth]

Utah is really great because it has a lot of BLM land and BLM land is important because they have probably the loosest 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. You could collect an insect fossil muscle. There's a really cool spot I've been to in the western part of the state where you can you pay a small fee to go into someone's quarry to dig for trilobites. It was called you dig. So if you go there and you go do the you dig, you're 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 the. The best advice on this is just like whatever part of Utah you're going to be in though, go to YouTube or Google and type in southern Utah. Rockhounding.

[Randall Williams]

Can I. They're not going to meet a whole lot of trout angling down in southern Utah. So can I give a little. Little another. Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

What do you got?

[Randall Williams]

The Green river below Flaming Gorge Reservoir has like from there all the way to the Colorado border there's plenty of BLM land.

[Steven Rinella]

Like.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yep.

[Randall Williams]

Spencer was saying. And very good trout fishing. Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's in that Green river area. There are a few spots where you can go find leaf fossils. So if you type in leaf fossil hunting Utah, you'll get some pointers there. But it's a great state. You know, one of the best ones to be a Rockhound cool.

[Phil Taylor]

There have 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. Drop them on the meat Eater TV subreddit.

[Randall Williams]

I see here that there's a lot of folks who, who took offense to my use of the term clavicle rather than the appropriate term of scapula. I apologize. I know better. And if we were doing. I don't think it's. If we're 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. I think it's overblown. Thank you.

[Spencer Newharth]

Steve is watching though.

[Randall Williams]

I know it's good.

[Spencer Newharth]

And turned this on.

[Randall Williams]

Busy guy still makes time. It's great.

[Phil Taylor]

So let's keep up the quality content here after that from Spencer Randall. Is a burrito a hot dog or is a hot dog a burrito?

[Randall Williams]

They're both Sam sandwiches.

[Phil Taylor]

Yes, thank you. Glad we clarified that.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's just good podcasting.

[Randall Williams]

That's great podcasting.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah. We had someone say who's better, LeBron, Jordan or Durkin? Shout out to Pat.

[Randall Williams]

Well, Durkin's not going to have a chance to add to his ring collection here, so Durkin's gonna have to live with three rings.

[Spencer Newharth]

He's retiring on top.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

And he also can't go for the longitivity like the all time leading score or anything like that. Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Pat Durkin, number one. Brody has a surprisingly he gets fired up if, if, if Randall and I were saying that LeBron is better than Jordan, Brody doesn't think so.

[Randall Williams]

It's amazing. Me and, and most of the world. Yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

Come on.

[Spencer Newharth]

There we go. That's exactly what I mean.

[Randall Williams]

Jordan. It's not even. I thought about wearing my LeBron 3 team jersey. Look man, for this event, like yeah, it was just a different game in Jordan's era, man, they used to beat

[Spencer Newharth]

the out of each other and now

[Randall Williams]

they're just a bunch of of like wimps. They can't like hit each other. It's a different game.

[Spencer Newharth]

Different game.

[Phil Taylor]

D. Wade says what new guns has Randall purchased recently for his collection?

[Randall Williams]

Wow, that's a great question. You know, to be honest, I haven't, I haven't been acquiring as much of late. Probably the most exciting new thing in my world is last year I, I did a full conversion of an HK USC to a ump, which is a basically retroactively creating a German submachine gun. Semi auto though, so I had to learn all about 922R compliance because it's a gun that can't be imported. So just a whole new. A whole new rabbit hole of federal firearms regulations. That was fun. And it's fun to shoot. It's very accurate. I've got a can on it, and it brings me great joy. The old, you know, adage, I think, from Marie Kondo. If it doesn't bring you joy, get rid of it. Like, bury me with the ump.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

It has no purpose on earth, but it does make me watch clips from Sicario to feel like I am Benicio del Toro.

[Spencer Newharth]

What else are we doing in the Brody Henderson Hour?

[Randall Williams]

We've got. I mean, we've got Meat theater.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

Corey Caulkins, we've got your cameos. Yeah, Corey's. Corey's ready when we've got Phil's trivia. I just need to text Corey if we want to hit some meat theater.

[Spencer Newharth]

What do you think, Phil the engineer?

[Phil Taylor]

Well, I think we've got to hold off on Meat Theater until after the. The segment we're waiting for here.

[Randall Williams]

Sure. Should we hit Spencer's cameo?

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, yeah, sure. You want to run?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. We've got some special messages from across the Meat Eater universe, folks who wanted to chime in and wish us well and congratulations on the end of this program. Spencer, why do you look so happy, man? You're so overjoyed right now.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's a good day.

[Phil Taylor]

All right, let's take a look at this video here.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, the weather outside is frightful but the fire is. Is so delightful. And since we.

[Giannis Patelis]

Oh,

[Randall Williams]

hello, Phil. Randall, Spencer, Good to see you, all of you. I'm wondering why we're getting together on such an 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. And I'll find out why. Why we're together today. Let's see.

[Spencer Newharth]

P H I L R A N

[Randall Williams]

D A L L S P E N C E R. Phil Randolyn. Spencer. Oh, yes, here we are. Oh, this is not good news.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

It seems as though your podcast has been canceled.

[Randall Williams]

Well, I am sorry about that. It's never easy when a podcast goes belly up. Well, let's see if we can dig a little deeper and find some good news here.

[Steven Rinella]

No.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, let's check out your. Your status on the Naughty and nice list. Oh, no, that should be good. Let's see here for Phil. Oh, naughty for pirating music from LimeWire in 2006. Oh, but then again, didn't everybody use the LimeWire in 2006?

[Phil Taylor]

Right.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

Perhaps we're being a little too harsh

[Randall Williams]

on you on that one, Phil and Randall. Here we are.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, not good. Also on the naughty list for not giving 39 cent to charity at Taco Bell. If I remember correctly, 39 cents used to get you a bean burrito at the bell. If you ask me, it should be them on the naughty list. Oh, and last but not least, let's see here. Spencer. Oh. Oh, this is good. Spencer. On the nice list. Of course, petting a service dog, even though you wanted to. 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. Oh, this is demented.

[Spencer Newharth]

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 Clause.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, that's great. And how much was that one?

[Spencer Newharth]

That was. That was. That was my budget there.

[Randall Williams]

That was $100?

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. It wasn't even worth it. He went three minutes long.

[Phil Taylor]

That was, I mean, bang for your buck for Santa there. Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

I feel like that's kind of a bargain. That's a serious Santa there.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. Well, and that Santa, like I write the prompts for him, but he started freestyling when he went, you know, the 39 cents used to get you a bean burrito at the Taco Bell.

[Randall Williams]

That should be improv.

[Spencer Newharth]

That was improv. Yep.

[Phil Taylor]

Five star review. Review for Santa.

[Randall Williams]

That's great.

[Spencer Newharth]

Y.

[Randall Williams]

That's great.

[Spencer Newharth]

Good work by Santa. So we'll have cameos later on from Randall and Phil.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

As well.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

This is from Leland. When can we expect the perfect venison hot dog recipe?

[Randall Williams]

Oh, that'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 emulsifying technologies.

[Spencer Newharth]

We. We do have one venison hot dog recipe on the website. It's from Wade Trung. It's a venison red snapper hot dog, which is famous. What, in like, Maryland is That where the.

[Phil Taylor]

Maine, I think.

[Spencer Newharth]

Maine, yeah. Northeast. Somewhere in the northeast. So you can go try the. The venison red snapper recipe, Wade, or

[Randall Williams]

excuse me, Leland, Phil, what else we got here?

[Spencer Newharth]

We got nothing. What about the shout out you have or a letter? Oh, those things.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, yeah, let's, let's. We got an email. I've got a couple emails here that I wanted to share. 1. 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 badass. That's my own commentary. He didn't have that. This is my mom's email address. She did give me permission to send this email. I am hoping to send a shout out to my dad, Graham Edwards. He has listened to all the meat eater podcasts since the beginning, but he is currently on his way out of town to go muskox hunting on Nunavac Island. I know he will be listed listening. I'm sorry I cannot 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. Your sensibilities about your own education. Will you please give a shout out to my dad? I would really appreciate it. Troy Edwards, consider your request granted. Shout out to Graham Edwards. Good luck on your muskox hunt. And Troy Edwards, I will note he class president thespian, seventh grader and he is fighting for improved playground equipment on for Kodiak Middle School.

[Spencer Newharth]

He's got it all.

[Randall Williams]

So that was just the brief bio I got, but shout out. Troy, love the email and had to, had to speak to Troy's request there.

[Spencer Newharth]

If he was a Durkin grandchild, he wouldn't have to be in school today.

[Randall Williams]

I know I, I thought there was some irony in that. And then I've got another. I've got another message here. This was one that's been, I think, awaited by all of the loyal Meat Eater Radio Live followers. This is from our friend Moor, and I will read Moore's message in full as follows. Hi, folks. My goodness, where does one even begin? Today's show fills me with a swirl of bittersweet emotions. I know it will be spectacular, of that I have no doubt. And yet it is the final chapter 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. The 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. Moore 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 remained Saturday sacred Radio Live time. And thank you to her as well. She's watching along with me right now. Mogur 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 of how to drink his favorite beer. Brody burying his face in his hands the moment he heard my name winning a book. And Corey 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 this 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. Kate, I'm deeply grateful. I've learned so much from all of you and I hope stepping away from this 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 meant 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, Mogul Mogor Shout out to Mogur. 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 in their 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 he 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.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Because Mogar, like, you know, when you

[Spencer Newharth]

think Mogor, big old Viking, something like that.

[Randall Williams]

I don't know. I don't know. He could be. I mean, send us a picture. I sort of like the mystery. Yeah, but it's fun. But it's like, goodbye. I want to see the guy.

[Spencer Newharth]

The movie he recommended was Hundreds of Beavers, right?

[Phil Taylor]

Yes.

[Spencer Newharth]

Randall's best movie club he's ever done.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. And I think that was the. I think that was probably the highlight that. That might be what killed movie club because. Just couldn't get any better after the Bennigan's bit. I was pretty uninspired.

[Spencer Newharth]

We did it all.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. So thank you, Mogor, and thanks to everyone else who's tuned in over the course of this show's existence. Phil, tell me what to do.

[Phil Taylor]

Let's just.

[Randall Williams]

We could do Phil trivia.

[Spencer Newharth]

We could do an office tour.

[Phil Taylor]

Let's go ahead and let's knock out Phil trivia.

[Randall Williams]

Let's do film. Tell me when you're ready and I'll read it.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay. Go ahead and read it, Randall.

[Randall Williams]

Our next segment is Phil's trivia Power

[Spencer Newharth]

resides where men believe it resides.

[Randall Williams]

It's a trick, a shadow on the wall.

[Phil Taylor]

You're in the the great game now.

[Randall Williams]

Phil's trivia game is terrifying.

[Phil Taylor]

Randall ruined everything. Go ahead.

[Randall Williams]

Phil's trivia is where the tables are turned and Phil gets to be the subject matter expert. He'll ask us three trivia questions to find out just how little we know about pop culture. Take it away, Phil.

[Phil Taylor]

That copy is relatively inaccurate because I actually have 20 questions for you today.

[Randall Williams]

I've only got an hour on the show. This is madness. Do you have a hard out at one?

[Phil Taylor]

No.

[Randall Williams]

Okay, that's great. I wasn't planning on leaving.

[Phil Taylor]

These are all kind of rapid fire questions, though, so the idea is to get through them relatively quickly here.

[Randall Williams]

Fire away, buddy.

[Phil Taylor]

This is called filled trivia or 4, 3, 2, 1. What does that mean? It'll be sort of self explanatory once I start the show, but these are gonna 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.

[Randall Williams]

So wait, how do you decide who's winning and losing?

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, I'm. I'm keeping. I'm keeping score here.

[Randall Williams]

Good, good. Good. Okay, so no, just like chit chatting for five minutes about.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, absolutely not. First question or four? That's the first round. It's called four. John, Paul, Ringo, Blank.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, got it. You know it. Oh, God.

[Spencer Newharth]

What's his name?

[Randall Williams]

That's the question. I know I know his last name.

[Phil Taylor]

4, 3, 2, 1. 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.

[Randall Williams]

I remember he had that real bad pop song in the 80s.

[Spencer Newharth]

Remember that? What was it?

[Randall Williams]

I don't remember the 80s. Phil's got to know.

[Phil Taylor]

Nope, have no idea.

[Spencer Newharth]

Pop song.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

Wish.

[Phil Taylor]

Wish I was there for you.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's a great first question.

[Phil Taylor]

Next question. Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo. Blank.

[Randall Williams]

Got it, H. This is a sick game, Phil. Oh, now I get it.

[Phil Taylor]

5, 4, 3, 2, 1. 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 Ninja Turtles.

[Spencer Newharth]

Which one is Donatello?

[Phil Taylor]

Donatello. Correct. Randall knows Phil.

[Spencer Newharth]

Is there one that's more preferred than the others in one who's like the ring?

[Phil Taylor]

Leonardo is. Is in the blue. He's kind of the. The. The de facto leader. Raph's kind of the tough. Mikey is the. The funny guy, and Donatello is the tech guy.

[Randall Williams]

Okay, tech.

[Phil Taylor]

Tech or gadgets or you know, who does Phil like?

[Randall Williams]

I'm.

[Phil Taylor]

I'm a Mikey fan.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Phil Taylor]

But Donatello's charming as well. Next question. It's getting tougher now. Yeah, cuz those first two weren't hard enough. Peter Ray Winston.

[Randall Williams]

Got it.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, I have no idea what we're going for here. Peter Ray Winston. I got no clue. Oh, Randall's gonna end this game before it even begins.

[Randall Williams]

Phil, thanks.

[Phil Taylor]

Five, four, three, two, one. See your answers. Randall says Egon Spencer without an answer. Brody without an answer. The correct answer is indeed Egon Spangler. Those are the Ghostbusters.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

Next question. Michael, Lindsay, Job and Blank.

[Spencer Newharth]

Wow. Jake the producer, shaking his head. He knows this one.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, what, what, what? What?

[Spencer Newharth]

Is it gonna ruin Randall's pro?

[Phil Taylor]

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

[Giannis Patelis]

Or.

[Phil Taylor]

Please reveal your answers. Randall says Will Arnett, Spencer, and Brody without answers. Will Arnett is the actor who plays Joe, but I was looking for Buster Blue, played by Tony Hale. Those are the four main siblings from Arrested Development.

[Spencer Newharth]

Phil, did you like the reboot of that?

[Phil Taylor]

It had its moments. I thought some of it was really, really clever, but it didn't have that magic from the first few seasons.

[Spencer Newharth]

Are you A Scrubs fan, Phil?

[Phil Taylor]

No, but I know that that revival just happened. Okay.

[Spencer Newharth]

I was hoping to get your opinion on that.

[Phil Taylor]

Next question. Turtle, Vinnie E. And Blank.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, I know the show. That's it, though.

[Randall Williams]

Got it.

[Phil Taylor]

Please reveal your answers.

[Randall Williams]

Is this right?

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, you're so close. Randall says Donnie.

[Randall Williams]

Donnie.

[Phil Taylor]

Donnie, Spencer and Brody without answering is what I say the correct answer is Johnny Drama. Those are the. It's the foursome from the HBO show Entourage, which I, for some reason, watched six seasons of, and I wish I could get my time back.

[Randall Williams]

Did you like the movie?

[Phil Taylor]

I didn't see the movie.

[Spencer Newharth]

Phil, you didn't strike me as a fan of that show.

[Phil Taylor]

Well, I watched it my freshman year.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. Yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

Our next round is called Three. Little bit different this time.

[Randall Williams]

I think I see where it's going, though.

[Phil Taylor]

Scary Spice, Ginger Spice, Tiny Spice. One of these things does not belong.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, got it.

[Phil Taylor]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says Tiny. Spencer says Tiny. Brody says Scary. The correct answer is tiny. Because. Because that is not a spice, girl. Baby, Spice is the name. Who are the other ones, Girl? Oh, you got Sporty Spice, Sporty Gin. Yeah, Ginger. Those. All of them, baby.

[Spencer Newharth]

I was more of a Bewitched guy.

[Phil Taylor]

Wow, Bewitched. Next question. Yakko.

[Randall Williams]

I'm not even gonna pick up my board anymore.

[Giannis Patelis]

Or Dot Com.

[Randall Williams]

Just gonna put my feet up for a while.

[Phil Taylor]

Phil, we are the Yakko. Smacko or Dot? One of these things does not belong.

[Giannis Patelis]

Brody.

[Randall Williams]

Huh?

[Phil Taylor]

Yes. Randall and Brody say smack.

[Randall Williams]

Baloney in their sacks.

[Phil Taylor]

They have baloney in their sacks. What? Smacko is not a member of the Animaniacs. That would be wacko.

[Spencer Newharth]

Can you sing us some of that

[Randall Williams]

song we have blown in?

[Phil Taylor]

I don't know. I don't remember all the lyrics.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, I'm watching the. I'm watching the viewer count closely. It's not dropping yet.

[Phil Taylor]

I know. You guys are doing great out there in the audience.

[Randall Williams]

No, I think it's you, man.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, wow.

[Phil Taylor]

These are Call of Duty entries. We have Infinite Warfare Extraction or Black Ops 7.

[Randall Williams]

Wow.

[Phil Taylor]

One of these things is not an entry in the Call of Duty video game franchise.

[Spencer Newharth]

What was your era, Phil? Did you play?

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, I started playing. I was there on for Call of Duty one. Followed it through Modern Warfare and a little bit into Black Ops, but then I fell off hard. I haven't played Call of Duty in a while. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Spencer says black ops 7. Brody says black ops 7. Randall says extraction. Extraction. The correct answer is extraction. That is not a Call of Duty Game.

[Spencer Newharth]

I can't believe they have seven of those.

[Phil Taylor]

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.

[Randall Williams]

Got it.

[Phil Taylor]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says 1941. Spencer says 1941. Brody says Sugar Land. That is a 0% 41 is a Spielberg. It is.

[Randall Williams]

Damn it.

[Phil Taylor]

Flight of the Navigator was not a Steven Spielberg movie. That was one of those like ET Kind of rip offs that happened after ET Came out. Like there was Mac and Me was one of them. And this was one where a kid gets stows away on a spaceship.

[Randall Williams]

I was thinking of 1917.

[Phil Taylor]

It was not directed by Steven Spielberg.

[Spencer Newharth]

Mac and Me. Is that the one that Paul Rudd is obsessed with?

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, he always plays the clip on Conan. Yeah, that's a good one. Next, starting Pokemon. Bulbasaur, Charmander or Shell Soak.

[Spencer Newharth]

Phil, have you played?

[Randall Williams]

I was with you until you got to this question.

[Spencer Newharth]

The reboot of the Fire Red.

[Phil Taylor]

I got leaf green.

[Spencer Newharth]

And I have leaf green. Okay.

[Phil Taylor]

Yes.

[Spencer Newharth]

How's that going for you?

[Phil Taylor]

I'm enjoying it. It's a big, big old hit of nostalgia.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, you tell us after this who you picked as your starter.

[Phil Taylor]

Sure thing. Go ahead. Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says Shells Soak. Spencer says Shell soak. Brody says Bulbasaur. The correct answer is Shell Soak. That is not the name of that water pokemon. It is Squirtle, a squirting turtle.

[Randall Williams]

Wow.

[Spencer Newharth]

And Phil, who did you start with?

[Phil Taylor]

I usually pick Squirrel, but this time around I picked Charmander because I never did when I was a kid. Okay, next up. We're halfway through, guys. You guys doing good?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay, this round is titled two and it is Academy Award theme. Since the Oscars are coming up here in the next couple of weeks, which best picture winner has the longer runtime? 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 Lawrence of Arabia, which is 222 million minutes long. Titanic is 194. Next question. Which actor has never won an Academy Award? We have part time Bozeman, 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?

[Randall Williams]

Did you deliberately make both of those gc initials.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

Oh, yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

I met Glenn Close.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay. Did you, though?

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

I'll give it to you. Which of these films from 2025 has received the most Academy Award nominations this year? We have one battle after another or Sinners.

[Randall Williams]

This is tough, Phil. I mean, just the whole Oscars round.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, I know it is.

[Giannis Patelis]

Right?

[Phil Taylor]

That's why it's Phil trivia.

[Randall Williams]

There's so much Oscars.

[Phil Taylor]

Phil trivia. Go ahead and reveal your answer. Everyone says sinners. Everyone's correct. Sinners just set the record for most Academy Award nominations ever with 16.

[Spencer Newharth]

Have you seen it, Phil?

[Phil Taylor]

I have.

[Spencer Newharth]

You like it?

[Phil Taylor]

I enjoyed it immensely.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

It was tonally way different than I was expecting, and I loved it.

[Randall Williams]

I was a little underwhelmed with one battle after another. I'll tell you.

[Phil Taylor]

I liked it a lot too.

[Randall Williams]

I liked it, but I was underwhelmed.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. I like that both Phil and Brody like Sinners now. I'm confident.

[Phil Taylor]

Me too. Yeah, you'll have a good time tonally.

[Randall Williams]

How's the show going? One after another would have been way better if it was just about Benicio Del Toro's character.

[Phil Taylor]

He rules in that movie. Which of these best picture nominees contains the most uses of the F word? We have the Wolf of Wall street from 2013 or Anora, which won best Pictures a couple years. Go ahead and reel your answers. Randall says Wolf of Wall Street. Spencer says Anora. Brody says Wolf. The correct answer is the Wolf.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, I thought you were trying to

[Phil Taylor]

trick us of Wall Street. I do have some stats here.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, it's got a lot of profanity in it.

[Phil Taylor]

Wolf of Wall street says it contains the F word 569 times at a pace of 3.16 times per minute.

[Randall Williams]

That's good.

[Phil Taylor]

Anora contains fewer uses of the word at 479, but at a quicker pace at 3.45 times per minute because it has a shorter. Over 300,000 blank rounds were 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.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, Predator is production design. So Starship Trooper Troopers. I don't know.

[Phil Taylor]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says Starship Troopers. Spencer says Predator. Brody says Predator. The correct answer is Starship Troopers.

[Randall Williams]

Think about how many rounds each of the actors in Predator would have had to fire. I know, but I didn't even. I like. I was thinking about the two different types of movies and Whether stars, like, if they're even using, like, actual guns in that movie. Yeah. And the minigun. And that was a minigun in Predator. Editor spits out a lot.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay, crazy. This is the final round. Oh, good. I wrote these. I wrote these in a haze last night, and then I got a better idea for something to do this morning, and then I didn't have time, so you get the.

[Randall Williams]

The bad one.

[Phil Taylor]

The bad one.

[Randall Williams]

Perfect.

[Phil Taylor]

Here we go. This round is titled 1. The best part of waking up is.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, man. Now you're talking.

[Phil Taylor]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Everyone says Folgers in your cup. Everyone gets a correct answer.

[Randall Williams]

All I can think about is the weird commercial where the guy is sort of romantic with his sister.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

What about the Seinfeld episode, Crystals?

[Spencer Newharth]

Brody, you seem like you drink Folgers when you're here.

[Randall Williams]

You. I seem like.

[Spencer Newharth]

I.

[Randall Williams]

Like I'm a daily Folgers user or something.

[Phil Taylor]

Question 2.

[Randall Williams]

No Costco Coffee.

[Phil Taylor]

You are here.

[Randall Williams]

Costco Coffee. Be.

[Spencer Newharth]

When you're here,

[Randall Williams]

you're. I don't know.

[Phil Taylor]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says you're home. Spencer says your family. Brody says your family. That's a point for Spencer and Randall, or Spencer and Brody. It is. When you're here, your family. Of course. That's Olive Garden.

[Randall Williams]

Oh.

[Phil Taylor]

Which we've had a mystery delivery from this morning here at hq.

[Randall Williams]

I think that's lunch for all the people watching upstairs.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay, next question. We're almost done, guys. Thanks for holding on. There are some things money can't buy for everything else.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, boy.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, it's great.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

It's such a responsible message right here, Right?

[Phil Taylor]

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?

[Spencer Newharth]

Good. Phil's Trivia.

[Phil Taylor]

No, two more. Can you hear me now?

[Randall Williams]

Or something comes after that.

[Phil Taylor]

Brody, can you hear me now?

[Randall Williams]

I thought that was it.

[Spencer Newharth]

I thought that's all there was to it.

[Randall Williams]

Randall.

[Steven Rinella]

Randall says good.

[Phil Taylor]

Spencer says good.

[Randall Williams]

I almost wrote can you hear me now?

[Phil Taylor]

Five times, Brody, without an answer. It is indeed good. That is the old Verizon tagline. This is the last one. Your link to the. Your link to the.

[Spencer Newharth]

Hmm. You know this one, Randall?

[Randall Williams]

I think so.

[Spencer Newharth]

You're gonna have a very impressive score after this, Randall. Trivia.

[Randall Williams]

Heard this one, but I can't think of it.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, I've heard it once or twice.

[Randall Williams]

Don't know.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay, go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says outdoors. Spencer says multiverse. Brody without an answer. The correct answer is food chain. And that is the tagline for me.

[Randall Williams]

I thought that's what it was. I thought that's what it was. That's why I said outdoors.

[Phil Taylor]

Thank you for playing Phil Trivia. The winner, I believe only by a couple of points is Randall Williams.

[Randall Williams]

We, this company may want to look at their motto. We got to make some more.

[Phil Taylor]

Not very sticky, is it? Let's get on. Let's get some people on that.

[Randall Williams]

That was 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.

[Phil Taylor]

It was, it was my pleasure. It wasn't a fish heist D and D game. Maybe some people appreciated that about it, but. Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

You join us yet?

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah. Jake, would you mind poking out around the corner? Cause I, I, I was gonna go first, but now I'm think it might not happen for me. Or I'll go last. So why don't you. If they're rolling, then we can start doing other stuff.

[Randall Williams]

Okay.

[Phil Taylor]

Is there anything we want to do with Brody before he takes off here?

[Randall Williams]

I thought I was doing me at theater.

[Phil Taylor]

Should we knock that out?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

Heck yeah. You want to set that up, Randall?

[Randall Williams]

I will, I will. Let me just text, Let me text Corey.

[Spencer Newharth]

We've got, we also have hot tip offs we can run in the meantime until Corey joins us.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, we can do that.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. We've got hot tip off number two of C6 happening next while Yanni watches us from the green room.

[Randall Williams]

What's he eating? Olive Garden.

[Spencer Newharth]

When you're here, you're meeting.

[Randall Williams]

I thought Corey wandering around with some

[Spencer Newharth]

like, corn dogs or something.

[Randall Williams]

I'm getting hungry.

[Phil Taylor]

That might be a surprise. I saw that too. Hey, it's Yanis.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, we're running long. I'll text you. Thanks. Come in. All right, our next segment is Hot Tip Off.

[Phil Taylor]

I'm not going to play the drop unless you want me to.

[Randall Williams]

No, go ahead. Just do the thing. No, no, I bet you don't have to do it. You can hang out in here. I want one. There's enough. Yeah, we haven't eaten them yet, though.

[Phil Taylor]

To all the 1000 plus people who have been tuned in for the last few hours. Oh, my goodness. Thank you so much for watching the show. We really appreciate you.

[Randall Williams]

Sorry for the mess.

[Phil Taylor]

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. If. Oh, can you tell them that someone else can go first? Okay, sorry. Thank you so much. If they're waiting for me. Yeah, tell someone else. Okay, Someone else.

[Spencer Newharth]

Unless.

[Phil Taylor]

Plus cuz we can't do meat theater without me, right?

[Spencer Newharth]

Brody will be there in like 10 or 15 minutes.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, don't worry about it. Someone go ahead of me. Just slide. Slide.

[Spencer Newharth]

Play the hot tip ops, Phil.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, Phil, play the hot tip. You got mustard?

[Phil Taylor]

All right, our next batch of hot tip off. We don't know who is providing them because it's not in the script. So let's take a look. Or think our Internet's happening, but there we go. Stephen Yang.

[Randall Williams]

This is Stephen from Minnesota. Here's a hot tip to get a

[Phil Taylor]

little bit more meat off your squirrel.

[Randall Williams]

So this is the rib cage of a squirrel. Typically people throw this part away, but

[Spencer Newharth]

my mom taught me a trick to

[Randall Williams]

get a little bit more meat out of your squirrel. So kudos to mom cage here. And basically what you do is you

[Spencer Newharth]

grab, grab it and then you pop

[Randall Williams]

the ribs out like that.

[Spencer Newharth]

So you could kind of see it popping up right there.

[Randall Williams]

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 then once you get those ribs exposed, you just take scissors and then

[Spencer Newharth]

you just cut off the bones at the very end. He also cut off this bottom part too. That's all just cartilage stuff that'll get

[Randall Williams]

stuck in your teeth. It is. It's beautiful. So yeah, there's a little bit more

[Spencer Newharth]

meat off your squirrel that you otherwise

[Randall Williams]

would have thrown away.

[Spencer Newharth]

And to be honest, it's not much

[Randall Williams]

meat, but it's more stuff from your harvest making the most of it.

[Phil Taylor]

Ryan Seamster.

[Randall Williams]

Hey, meat eater crew.

[Phil Taylor]

Ryan Se coming at you from Colorado

[Randall Williams]

with a hot tip. I heard the other day you guys telling some horror stories about losing some

[Spencer Newharth]

deep freezers full of meat.

[Phil Taylor]

And I got a solution for you.

[Randall Williams]

Go to your favorite online retailer and for $34.99, buy yourself one of these.

[Phil Taylor]

It's made by Accurite.

[Randall Williams]

It is a freezer monitor. Comes with two probes about so big. I got one in the deep freezer,

[Phil Taylor]

one in the freezer.

[Randall Williams]

Inside you set high and low limits for the temperature. And this thing will screen, scream and yell and fuss at you if it

[Giannis Patelis]

gets outside those limits.

[Phil Taylor]

It saved my deep freezer two or

[Randall Williams]

three different times thanks to some bad gfi. Outlets or your kids leave the door open or whatever.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's worth it.

[Randall Williams]

Go buy it. You won't regret it. Appreciate you guys. Oh, and ask Clay if he knows what a schmoo is.

[Phil Taylor]

If not, take away his Arkansas card later.

[Randall Williams]

Well, guys, what do you think? The squirrel, rib cage or the freezer? I mean, the freezer alarm is a good tip, but I don't think it's like, hot.

[Spencer Newharth]

He was 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, I'm gonna agree with what I think Brody was gonna say. Steven Yang and the squirrel butchery would be.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, using more meat's always a good tip. Would you pass me another corn dog, please?

[Spencer Newharth]

Corey Calkins has now joined us in the studio and he's brought the most phallic foods he could find. A half dozen corn dogs and three

[Phil Taylor]

bananas is the perfect time to do a quick podcast. Stop down and I will remember to hit record when I turned it back on. Are these the caffeine ones?

[Randall Williams]

Are non caffeine.

[Steven Rinella]

Hey, as outdoorsmen, we always spend a lot of time thinking about how we interact with the land, how we care for the land. But then yard care, like your lawn care, defaults to chemical heavy routines. The tree. Every yard the same. Well, Sunday offers a different model. They begin by understanding your soil and local climate, then build a customized yard plan designed specifically for your environment. Their products rely on nutrient dense ingredients like seaweed, molasses and iron rather than harsh synthetic chemicals. Everything arrives at your door and connects to a hose, simplifying what has traditionally been a complicated trial and error process. It's a more targeted, more thoughtful approach to caring for the space just outside your home. Less guesswork, less excess. Fewer unnecessary treatments. If you're curious what your yard actually needs and prefer a smarter way to support it, Sunday makes that process remarkably straightforward.

[Spencer Newharth]

Bill, how's the chat doing?

[Phil Taylor]

It's been pretty consistent and about at the exact same ratio as the first batch here and I will go ahead and end the poll there with 74% of the vote. The winner is indeed Steven with the squirrel meat.

[Randall Williams]

Congratulations, Stephen.

[Spencer Newharth]

Now Corey Calkins has brought us some Mountain Dew Baja Blasts. Phil, can you give us tasting notes on the varieties that we have here?

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, sure. Well, Baja Blast is going to be, you know, the the varietal that used to be locked behind the doors of Taco Bell, but Pepsi has since opened the floodgates, if you will. And you can buy Baja Blast in stores now. You can buy a diet version of no sugar version. They might have like other fruit flavors of it too.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, Shout out to TNC had seven different options.

[Randall Williams]

Oh my God, that's huge. That shit Is awesome.

[Spencer Newharth]

Phil, I have a. A Cabo Citrus here. Tell me about Cabo Citrus.

[Phil Taylor]

I have never tried Cabo Citrus.

[Spencer Newharth]

You're gonna do. That's one to Phil. Do that to Phil. That's Phil's Baja Blast. Oh, good.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, Yeah. I quit drinking soda when I started drinking beer, but this is a special occasion.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, good.

[Randall Williams]

I could choke down a regular Mountain Dew. There's no way I could finish one of these things here. There's one regular Mountain Dew. No, I can't.

[Phil Taylor]

I'm good.

[Spencer Newharth]

I've now swapped Phil with a Voltage Raspberry. What do you think of Voltage Raspberry? Raspberry. Phil.

[Phil Taylor]

Voltage. Voltage wasn't in the. Wasn't in my main lineup growing up.

[Randall Williams]

It was.

[Phil Taylor]

I was a Livewire 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 detest.

[Randall Williams]

Cough syrup.

[Phil Taylor]

So Baja Blast and Live Wire became my favorite. But Voltage is. Voltage is good. It's a little less punchy than the other flavors.

[Randall Williams]

Phil, should we do our meet theater?

[Phil Taylor]

Randall, I think we should do meet theater.

[Randall Williams]

Okay, hold one second. Let me just collect my thoughts. Is there stuff going on out there?

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, there's a bunch of stuff going on.

[Randall Williams]

Should we announce it? What's happening?

[Phil Taylor]

Let's do meet Theater first so Brody can skedaddle. If he has stuff to do, I'll

[Randall Williams]

pop back in afterwards.

[Phil Taylor]

Sounds great.

[Randall Williams]

Now it's time for a fan favorite segment. Meet Theater.

[Spencer Newharth]

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

[Randall Williams]

Did you give me a real juicy part? I hate to say it, Spencer, but I didn't write you a part.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, no.

[Randall Williams]

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 live by untrained actors. And we welcome to the studio Corey Culkin's child actor to the star. I realize that the term child actor is often used to refer to a child who's an actor, but Corey plays a really convincing child.

[Spencer Newharth]

He does. I'll take that.

[Randall Williams]

Thank you. And this is the reason that I didn't write a part.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's because I'm a trained actor.

[Randall Williams]

This week, we're exploring a true classic of outdoor storytelling. Robert Rourke's the Old man and the Boy. I'll be playing the old man. Corey will be playing the boy, and Brody will be playing Pete the dog who's been given a speaking role by the AI in order to fill out our traditional three part troupe.

[Phil Taylor]

Yep.

[Randall Williams]

Phil is the narrator.

[Spencer Newharth]

Did you have to bully the AI to get the dog speaking parts?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, usually I usually have to add a third person.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yep.

[Randall Williams]

So, Phil, whenever you're ready. We don't even get to read the script beforehand. It's just like, go for it, huh? Yep.

[Phil Taylor]

We're live.

[Randall Williams]

Okay. Ooh, set the mood.

[Phil Taylor]

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 talk about what he knows. And he never talks down to a kid.

[Randall Williams]

Cory, that's you.

[Giannis Patelis]

When are we going, old man?

[Randall Williams]

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. Quail, don't punch a time clock. And you settle down there, Pete. We'll get there. We're going bird hunting.

[Phil Taylor]

Sorry. Really quick. Corey and birdie, do you mind scouting scooching a little bit closer towards Randall, just for the camera? You know, we want to make this look good. Thank you.

[Randall Williams]

You bet. That's what I'm talking about. Brody, that last line is yours. Bird hunting, my favorite.

[Phil Taylor]

I've been waiting all morning.

[Randall Williams]

No, we're gonna 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.

[Phil Taylor]

Know, old man.

[Randall Williams]

It's just a bird. Just a bird. Son, this little Bob White is pure class, every ounce of him. He don't weigh but 5 ounces, and he's smarter than most men I know. You treat him with respect or you don't hunt him at all. A covey, A quail is family. You look after family. How do you look after a bird? Well, you shoot him. Careful you don't take too many. You plant him some peas so he's got got something to eat. And when you shoot, you shoot one at a time. Nobody can kill the whole damn covey. I could try. Lord help us. Come on, then. Let's see what Pete thinks.

[Phil Taylor]

They walked out to the pea field with Pete the pointer. The dog whirled around, crazy like, then froze solid. Tail up, nose forward, one paw lifted.

[Randall Williams]

Got him right here. Don't move. Nobody move. I got him. Oh, boy, his bird. Well, look at that. Beautiful. Pete's got him. Damn right I got him. Whole covey. 20 yards made 15. Hold still, boy, don't you dare walk heavy. Can I shoot? Take my gun walking past Pete. Gentle now. Don't make him nervous. The birds will come up fast. Just pick one. Just one. You gotta 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. Man, just pick one. God damn it. What did I just. Where are they? You didn't hit a damn one. Damn. What'd I tell you? Shot at all of them. The whole flock. Come on, boy. I held that point for five minutes. What'd I tell you? I missed. I missed them all. No, you missed. I could have told you that was coming. Of course you did. You shot at the whole flock. Come sit.

[Steven Rinella]

But.

[Phil Taylor]

Sit.

[Spencer Newharth]

Don't feel too bad.

[Randall Williams]

First time I pointed birds, I broke my point. Chased after them. Got my ass whipped good that day. I've missed a lot of birds in my time. I'll miss more if I shoot at enough of them. But I learned something. You gotta learn you can't kill them all at once. Not even if they're sitting still on the ground. A bottle. Bob White is a gentleman, boy. And gentlemen deserve your attention. One at a time.

[Giannis Patelis]

But I wanted to get in them all.

[Randall Williams]

Well, shit, we all want that, kid, but that ain't how it works. I know, but wanton don't make it so. That's true of birds and darn near everything else. We'll go put up the singles in a bit. They won't be moving yet. Left their scent up in the air. Old man? Yeah? Why do you care so much, much about these birds? Well, I'll tell you something. I never knew a man that hunted quail who didn't come out of it a little politer. Associating with gentlemen can't hurt you. You need all the politeness 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?

[Spencer Newharth]

Use.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, that's right. I saw a rabbit this morning. Fat one, too. But did I chase it? Heck, no. I'm a bird dog. I got standards. I don't.

[Spencer Newharth]

You will.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, sorry.

[Steven Rinella]

That's the dog.

[Randall Williams]

You will, though. Old man will teach you. Damn right, you don't. Now, let's go find those singles. Remember, one bird, pick them out. Watch him Swing through them. And for Pete's sake, don't shoot at his whole damn family. Finally. Let's go to work.

[Phil Taylor]

They walked out into the field. Pete circled and locked up again. The boy approached carefully this time. A single bird flushed.

[Randall Williams]

Just one this time.

[Spencer Newharth]

Right there. Steady now.

[Randall Williams]

Yes, Hotcakes, you got him? I got him. I got him, old man.

[Phil Taylor]

I got him.

[Randall Williams]

Well, I'll be God damned, you did. Pete, fetch. Got him. Nice shot, boy. Soft mouth.

[Phil Taylor]

See that?

[Randall Williams]

Didn't even ruffle his feathers. I'm a gosh dang professional. Well, look at that. Five ounces of pure class. He's beautiful. Told you. Gentleman bird. Takes a gentleman dog to find a gentle 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 learn to live life one day. Day at a time. One problem at a time. Can't kill the whole covey. 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. 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 more. 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 covey. They're family, remember?

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, I remember.

[Randall Williams]

Good. I'm hungry. Let's go home. Yeah, I'm really hungry.

[Phil Taylor]

And so the boy learned about quail. But more than that, he 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.

[Randall Williams]

You know, boy, I had a setter bitch once named Lou. Dumbest damn dog you ever saw. But loyal Lou. I heard about her. Pointed stumps. Hell of a dog, though. Helluva dog. Lights fade and crowd goes nuts.

[Spencer Newharth]

Wow. Amazing.

[Randall Williams]

That's good. That's good, Corey. Thank you as always. Just a phenomenal performance, Corey.

[Spencer Newharth]

I'm so impressed.

[Randall Williams]

Beers, energy drinks, Mountain Dews. Guys going on getting a weird mixture going here.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's what meat Eater Radio Live is, Beers.

[Randall Williams]

Those corn dogs are going cold. I don't want to hog them, though. Well, you best better double fist them. Would you pass me One, please.

[Spencer Newharth]

Double fisted. Who got the jalapeno?

[Phil Taylor]

Yes.

[Randall Williams]

You coming to sit over here? I got a jalapeno one earlier when Randall needs me. Is now my turn, I think. Am I done? Oh, can we do a feedback? And then I'm done.

[Phil Taylor]

What do we got? I think we're gonna start. We're gonna do Tattoos I Regret after.

[Randall Williams]

Okay, well, I better go do something then. Like right now. You mean now, Phil?

[Phil Taylor]

Well, so I think someone else is currently taking up the position, but we. I. It's hard to run a show and also keep track of what's going on out there at the same time. It looks like he's out there. Hey, Jake, can you nod the phone if you can hear me?

[Randall Williams]

Great.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay, we're going to come to you at about a minute and a half here. Randall, do you want to set up the next segment?

[Randall Williams]

Our next segment is Tattoos I Regret. So should I stick around or just go get in line? Get out of here? Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Can I go pee now?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, you can.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yanni, you come over here.

[Phil Taylor]

That.

[Randall Williams]

Thank you, Brody. Peace out. I. I'll be seeing you, Randall.

[Phil Taylor]

Brody, you can go after Alex.

[Giannis Patelis]

He's.

[Phil Taylor]

He's in the chair right now.

[Randall Williams]

Ladies and gentlemen, Brody Henderson. Thank you, Brody. What the. Does that mean? It's a tattoo.

[Giannis Patelis]

I. I regret.

[Spencer Newharth]

What an amazing sounder. That felt one of the best.

[Phil Taylor]

However, for this last episode of Meat Eater 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 week? 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.

[Randall Williams]

There.

[Phil Taylor]

Hey, how's it going over there, guys?

[Randall Williams]

You're on Alex. Doing well.

[Phil Taylor]

And Alex, who are you sitting down with right there?

[Randall Williams]

Baker.

[Phil Taylor]

That's right. That's. That's our.

[Spencer Newharth]

Our.

[Phil Taylor]

Our buddy Baker from Black Street Tattoo here in Bozeman, 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 get a tattoo can head down there and get inked up by.

[Randall Williams]

If you work at Meat Eater, you have to work at Meat Eater.

[Phil Taylor]

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.

[Spencer Newharth]

And Meat Eater's paying for these tattoos,

[Randall Williams]

so that's also where our budget went.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, Some folks in the office getting

[Randall Williams]

free inked Mountain Dew corn dogs and tattoos.

[Phil Taylor]

That's right. And, Baker, do you want to tell us a little bit about your new shop here in downtown Bay Bozeman?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, Just opened right in the middle of Bozeman about three weeks ago.

[Phil Taylor]

It's.

[Randall Williams]

It's been going great. It's been super busy. Cool location, really cool shop. You guys gotta come check it out.

[Phil Taylor]

Right on. And people can check out your work. I'd say your Instagram handles are probably the best place to do that. Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Baker, Baker, Baker with the extra R on the end. My other handle is I just want something small for all fine lines at tattoos.

[Spencer Newharth]

And then black street tat with a

[Randall Williams]

two at the end. Easy to find.

[Phil Taylor]

Right on. There we go. I'm down.

[Steven Rinella]

Thank you.

[Phil Taylor]

Alex, what'd you get done?

[Randall Williams]

Let's see it, man. Here, can you show it off? Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

Whoa.

[Randall Williams]

That's wild.

[Phil Taylor]

That looks killer.

[Randall Williams]

I thought we were doing. I thought we were doing, like, real simple stuff. I don't know anything about tattoos, though, so.

[Phil Taylor]

So 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.

[Steven Rinella]

See you in a bit.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah. Thanks, guys. Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

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.

[Giannis Patelis]

Why would they wonder that? Isn't that how every one of these

[Randall Williams]

shows been especially bad? We were trying to line it up so that Phil would get tattooed live, and the timing just wasn't working.

[Phil Taylor]

Wasn't right. I'll still try to get in there maybe at the end of the day,

[Randall Williams]

because Phil's in the cockpit, too. Phil's got to fly the plane here.

[Phil Taylor]

It's tough. 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.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

Randall, I don't know if we want to do that now.

[Spencer Newharth]

The office tour.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Well, whenever. Whenever you'd like. Whenever you'd like to do it, Phil.

[Spencer Newharth]

We could also do that when we transition to the big group later on, if you're looking for a different spot.

[Phil Taylor]

Let's do that. Yeah. So stay tuned.

[Spencer Newharth]

Start the unit.

[Phil Taylor]

Randall's going to give everyone watching on YouTube live and later a tour of Meat Eater HQ. So you'll get to see all the arteries and hallways and where we make all the stuff around here. And.

[Randall Williams]

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the studio. Giannis Patelis, the Latvian Eagle. Welcome the third co Host of the Meat Eater Radio Live grand finale live extravaganza. Giannis, have you been watching along long today?

[Giannis Patelis]

I have not.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, but he was in the studio to witness.

[Giannis Patelis]

I did. Yeah. I did have my lunch in here.

[Randall Williams]

How would you guess it's going so far?

[Giannis Patelis]

Well, the way you just described it just 30 seconds ago, you seem to think it's not going so well, but I see that you've eaten three corn dogs, so that can't be that bad.

[Randall Williams]

That's true. Today's not a bad day.

[Giannis Patelis]

I just had. Did you guys tell everybody that they fed us a big pasta pasta meal?

[Steven Rinella]

I didn't.

[Randall Williams]

We weren't aware of that.

[Giannis Patelis]

Oh, you weren't?

[Phil Taylor]

No.

[Giannis Patelis]

Well, it was on a Slack message yesterday.

[Randall Williams]

We've been broadcasting. Oh, I haven't been watching Slack. Except the company.

[Giannis Patelis]

The company bought us. It just said yesterday.

[Spencer Newharth]

What did it say?

[Giannis Patelis]

It said pasta bar. 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 Olive Garden to cater our lunch. And sure enough, stuff 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 way over ate pasta, okay? Alfredo lasagna, had a salad, even had half one of their breadsticks. Then I come down in here and Cory's got corn dogs. So I had to have a corn dog, which ended up being.

[Randall Williams]

I have a problem too much.

[Giannis Patelis]

I have a sugar problem problem. Like, I'm eating a regular meal and in my head, my brain is like, what are you going to have afterwards? You should have something a little sweet afterwards, you know? But that corn dog fit the bill perfectly. Oh, there's some sugar in there.

[Phil Taylor]

Can someone throw me a banana, please?

[Giannis Patelis]

Not a corn.

[Spencer Newharth]

You're going to say corn dog.

[Phil Taylor]

Well, I. I haven't eaten anything today.

[Spencer Newharth]

The only thing I've had to drink

[Phil Taylor]

is coffee and Mountain Dew, so.

[Spencer Newharth]

What a catch by Bill. Not a great throw, by the way.

[Randall Williams]

Great catch.

[Phil Taylor]

I played left field after. I couldn't play catcher anymore because got horrible eczema from my dog strap.

[Spencer Newharth]

I love that. That's a perfect reason for Phil Taylor to stop playing catcher.

[Randall Williams]

That's great. Yeah.

[Giannis Patelis]

So anyways, I think it's going well.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, the first hour. The first hour is pretty strong. The second hour things.

[Phil Taylor]

Randall's really stressing out when the whole spirit of the show is that it's a complete cluster.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, no, it's good. Everyone loves It. I just want to keep. Could I pass? Could I have another corn dog, please?

[Spencer Newharth]

Of course. Please.

[Randall Williams]

So should we move on to our third hour of programming, Phil?

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, I think we should.

[Phil Taylor]

Please. Let's do it,

[Randall Williams]

Phil. Why don't we kick off the third hour of our broadcast with a special message from the founder of Meat Eater, Steven Ranella.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, big supporter of this program.

[Phil Taylor]

He loves it. Here we go.

[Steven Rinella]

You know, when I first heard about Radio Live going off the air for

[Randall Williams]

people that are listening out watching is lifting weights. That's why he's grunting.

[Steven Rinella]

I thought to myself, who the hell's that? So I had to call my assistant. So who. Who the hell are these Radio Live guys?

[Randall Williams]

Oh, it's those idiots. You be on your pathway to becoming the only human to ever win 2 Meat Eater Trivia world championships. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

Well, whatever.

[Randall Williams]

Thank you, Steve.

[Phil Taylor]

Heartwarming.

[Randall Williams]

That's great.

[Giannis Patelis]

Wasn't he in here earlier today?

[Spencer Newharth]

He was, yes.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. So it's just. I know the bit doesn't really work.

[Phil Taylor]

A little bit of kayfabe. That's not. Not lining up.

[Spencer Newharth]

No, he's there right now. He's in his hot.

[Randall Williams]

Some people might have tuned in halfway through, though, and they don't realize that maybe there is. Maybe we've just destroyed the realism. It was good. I think Steve likes to flex that creative muscle.

[Spencer Newharth]

I like how he said when he heard about it.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Which means that he thought it in his brain that we shouldn't do Media Radio Live anymore. That was when he heard about it.

[Randall Williams]

Our next segment.

[Phil Taylor]

Wait, what is our next segment?

[Randall Williams]

Media? You're gonna find out.

[Phil Taylor]

Hey, hey, hey.

[Randall Williams]

That's it.

[Phil Taylor]

Hey,

[Randall Williams]

what's on the stone?

[Spencer Newharth]

Well done, Phil.

[Randall Williams]

Meat eater 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.

[Giannis Patelis]

Lovely. I can't wait for this one.

[Randall Williams]

Phil, who's going first here?

[Phil Taylor]

Looks like we have. Is that Giannis Patelis patilis poutellis.

[Giannis Patelis]

Was. Is how you pronounce it in Latvia.

[Phil Taylor]

Got too much going on here. There we are.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yep.

[Spencer Newharth]

Wow, that is a pretty dish.

[Giannis Patelis]

Thanks.

[Phil Taylor]

Tell us about this dish, Giannis.

[Giannis Patelis]

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 olive oil, grill it outside on the grill to about 125, pull it, let it rest for 5 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's different here and what I want to talk about is that the sauce is what? Well, the. I guess the steak with the sauce would be called steak a poivre. And I don't know if I'm pronouncing that properly.

[Randall Williams]

Sounds good, I believe.

[Spencer Newharth]

Looks kind of creamy.

[Giannis Patelis]

POV is pepper in French. So it's like steak of pepper, I guess, is how you would directly translate it. Jarrett Risley from Shan restaurant here in Bozeman. He came on to Judge Graham episode. Yeah, if you're in Bozeman, go check out Sham.

[Spencer Newharth]

I feel like that's universally been determined that that's, like, our best eatery in town.

[Giannis Patelis]

Oh, 100 best. Now, I.

[Spencer Newharth]

Well, like, if you asked anyone, like, what's your favorite spot? And they were gonna name three places, I think every single person, if they've been there, might be toughest to get a resi at. Yes.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah. And that's why I hesitate to even say how good it is, because then it's even harder. He's like, you should come in more. I'm like, yeah, if I want to come eat dinner at either 4 or 8:30pm because those 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 with wild game, I make steak aoave. I was like, oh, make mental note, went home, looked up the recipe. Extremely simple. So simple that I can tell you now by heart how to make it.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's a good recipe to have then.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah, 100%. You basically take a couple small shallots, chop them up real fine. You, again, depending on how you do the meat, if you're going to pan sear 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. Pepper already in there. So you throw your shallots in there, saute those for a minute, and then you put in, these are approximate measurements, about a third 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 Jim 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 creme fraiche, if you happen to have that, which we haven't. So we just use regular old heavy cream. But, yeah, you end up with a. It's nice because it looks heavy cream, creamy. It has that flavor, but it's actually very light because it's mostly just chicken stock, you know, in a little bit of. A little bit of booze. So very plain, simple sauce. But as we all know, when you're eating a lot of lean venison, it can be nice to have a little sauce with your. With your venison. So that's the dish now that was made with that night. We had two loins thawed out. You know, I cut my loins and probably pound and a half, maybe two pound chunks, and I should start measuring them more. It makes sense because then when you grab. You grab a package of ground.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Giannis Patelis]

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 four people?

[Randall Williams]

That's why I always just cook more.

[Giannis Patelis]

That's what I've started doing.

[Phil Taylor]

It's.

[Giannis Patelis]

I'm always like, Jennifer, just pull out two, too.

[Randall Williams]

Have a little Tupperware of steak slices the next day.

[Giannis Patelis]

Exactly. Delicious.

[Phil Taylor]

Delicious.

[Giannis Patelis]

So I had one whitetail back strap, one mule deer back strap. The. They're both Montana animals. My oldest killed the mule deer on the youth hunt last year, which was a. A great moment as a dad. She. We spotted the deer kind of together late in the day. 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, we. I can't go with you after, 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 on 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 heard and she killed her first deer by herself.

[Randall Williams]

That's great.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah, really cool.

[Spencer Newharth]

Beautiful meal.

[Giannis Patelis]

The. The whitetail 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 that we got access to. And I think on the second hunt out there. Yeah, we got lucky and had a nice one walking by. That was the one with the crazy palmate faded.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, yeah.

[Giannis Patelis]

Brow tines.

[Spencer Newharth]

What else is on the menu this week now?

[Giannis Patelis]

Oh, boy. I have some bear 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.

[Phil Taylor]

I don't mean to interrupt you guys, but it's kind of important. We have a certain person getting their first tattoo.

[Giannis Patelis]

Oh, boy.

[Spencer Newharth]

Who could that be?

[Phil Taylor]

Let's cut to that feed here.

[Spencer Newharth]

I don't even know.

[Randall Williams]

Wow.

[Steven Rinella]

You're on.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, bro Anderson getting. They're six, seven, mid, I'd say.

[Giannis Patelis]

Is that the tattoo you're Getting is a 6, 7?

[Randall Williams]

No, I was talking about biscuits.

[Spencer Newharth]

What kind of tattoo are you getting, Brody?

[Phil Taylor]

Well, I'll show you in a little while. Spencer. Sounds good. Brody's alone now. I just want to do it. That's great. Wonderful. See you later. Damn, this hurts.

[Spencer Newharth]

I love that. Good for Brody.

[Randall Williams]

He's young at heart. He's young at heart.

[Giannis Patelis]

I didn't know Brody was gonna get his first tattoo today.

[Steven Rinella]

That's awesome.

[Spencer Newharth]

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

[Randall Williams]

That's great.

[Giannis Patelis]

Interesting, Interesting. Good for Brody.

[Spencer Newharth]

I think we'll get a reveal later on in the studio here.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, that's good. I hope it's all bloody and nasty.

[Phil Taylor]

You guys wanna scooch off that way? So you guys are in the frame a little bit better.

[Randall Williams]

I think we'd have that.

[Giannis Patelis]

Which way do I have to go?

[Spencer Newharth]

Just this way a little bit. There we go.

[Phil Taylor]

All right, next dish. After I stick this up, I'm gonna step outside for a second.

[Randall Williams]

Sure.

[Spencer Newharth]

Next dish. This one is mine. That is a soup called faji jolie, and I learned about this from Stanley Tucci. Stanley Tucci has said that he eats pasta every day.

[Giannis Patelis]

He also said Stanley Tucci.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, how would you just. He's like. He's a famous actor. What would be some of his Roles. Easy A. Was he an easy A?

[Randall Williams]

I'm gonna. I'm gonna pull him up here so I don't sound like a fool.

[Spencer Newharth]

Stanley.

[Randall Williams]

Devil Wears Prada. Searching. Stanley Tucci. Searching for Italy was a television show.

[Spencer Newharth]

He's famously Italian.

[Randall Williams]

Conclusion. Conclave.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, loved Conclave.

[Randall Williams]

Transformers, Age of Extinction, the King's Men, Hunger Games.

[Spencer Newharth]

I think Conclave is one of the best things I've watched.

[Giannis Patelis]

Who did he. Who did he play in Hunger Games?

[Spencer Newharth]

Kind of one of the eccentric. He is like the. The broadcaster of the show.

[Randall Williams]

He's Caesar Flickerman.

[Spencer Newharth]

You know, show me a picture how they have like. Like an E. Entertainment sort of show where they interview the people. That's Stanley Tucci.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, okay.

[Spencer Newharth]

He, like, wears his Italian on his sleeve. He's very Italian. Italian. He said he eats pasta every day. This is his favorite soup ever. It's called fagioli. And so when Stanley Tucci talks about pasta, I listen. It's an Italian soup. It's got a lot of beans, mirepoix, which is celery, onions, carrots, bell pepper, kale, ditalini.

[Giannis Patelis]

Pasta.

[Spencer Newharth]

I don't know if that's how you pronounce that. D I, T A L I N I. Diddilini. Pasta. Pasta. Marinara, broth, herbs and spices, and then ground meat, which for mine was ground venison. Takes about an hour to make. It's a very tomatoey soup, a very beanie soup. I. I'd like this soup. I would give it like a 7 out of 10, but it's my wife's favorite soup. She would give it a 10 out of 10.

[Randall Williams]

How do you spell it?

[Spencer Newharth]

The. The soup? It's F, A, G, I, O, O, L, I. Fagioli. Fagioli soup. So.

[Giannis Patelis]

And you don't get too gassy from this meal?

[Randall Williams]

No.

[Spencer Newharth]

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. So in my mind, it's like, now this is a bean soup, but it's like an Italian bean soup again. It's got marinara in it, some tomato paste, broth. There's a lot of different recipes online for this one.

[Randall Williams]

It's beautiful.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's. It's just like a unique soup, too. I would say that when I eat it, I. I don't know what to compare it to as far as other soups.

[Randall Williams]

Looks like a comfort food.

[Spencer Newharth]

I would say it's a comfort suit, I think. I feel like Stanley Tucci has Said that this was like, something his mom made. And so it's. It's very nostalgic soup for him as well. We're now getting to the end of soup season here. You know, we probably got a few weeks left left, so that means a lot of soups in my house at this point.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Giannis Patelis]

And I wasn't trying to be funny about the gassy thing, and I think I just maybe need to eat more beans because.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, I wasn't laughing about it like you're trying to tell a joke. I was just thinking it's funny that, like, your mind is like, that looks good. Would I fart if I ate it?

[Giannis Patelis]

Well, we had you and I went to lunch yesterday, and I think my burrito had some beans in it. And, I mean, I had to go to archery league and had to, like, you know, be sort of 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 I. Was I gassy.

[Randall Williams]

I mean, I don't know. I just. We live in different worlds. Y. I just assume that I'm going to be farting all day every day.

[Giannis Patelis]

I see.

[Steven Rinella]

I don't really.

[Randall Williams]

I don't really have, like, a. A rule of thumb for what I need to avoid or when I need to avoid it.

[Spencer Newharth]

Somebody says that Olive Garden has it. I did not know that at first.

[Randall Williams]

I thought it was spelled. Might be spelled F, A, Z, O, L. I like the chain Italian place Fazoli. And I was thinking, oh, now I know what fazoli means, but it's with

[Spencer Newharth]

a G Fagioli, so that we'll make that probably one or two more times during soup season.

[Randall Williams]

Looks delicious.

[Spencer Newharth]

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 off. 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 whitetail from Idaho that I killed two falls ago would be my guess.

[Randall Williams]

Love that.

[Phil Taylor]

Randall, before we get to your dish, Handyman Uno has a question for Giannis. Did you ever pick from the fan submissions for Ros.

[Spencer Newharth]

This is.

[Giannis Patelis]

This is killing me.

[Phil Taylor]

I would guess Handyman Uno submitted something.

[Giannis Patelis]

Maybe be. I don't. Or you can see that. What's his little. What's that little mark on the left say, Steven something.

[Phil Taylor]

I don't know.

[Randall Williams]

Stephen Hands, I bet. I don't know.

[Giannis Patelis]

Anyways, I've narrowed it down. I'm planning on early next week reaching out to some folks and conducting short interviews to continue the process of the casting call.

[Randall Williams]

That's exciting.

[Spencer Newharth]

Someone else in the chat says that fagioli is like a cross between chile and minestrone, which is. That's the best way I think you could describe it. That person knows what they're talking about.

[Phil Taylor]

That's great.

[Randall Williams]

I love it when people can just explain things. Like, I always think it's very clever when I explain that Cincinnati style chili is like a Mediterranean Bolognese. Like a. Like, when you can make an analogy,

[Giannis Patelis]

it's like a Mediterranean because people are

[Randall Williams]

like, oh, is it chili? I'm like, it's more like a Bolognese. It's more like a very savory, almost Middle Eastern, like, spice profile Bolognese.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's like if somebody from Cincinnati wanted to make. Make a unique chili.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's what that person from Cincinnati would come up with.

[Randall Williams]

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 is something that we like to do where we'll grill, like, some steaks and grill a bunch of veggies and then whatever. The. The white soft cheese raclette. No, no, like ricotta. Like a ricotta veggies. And then I was grilling this stuff, and I had all the veggies in a basket, and I flipped the basket on. All the veggies spilled out on the ground. Well, 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 she wasn't. She wasn't gonna 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. Stood outside on the grill for a while. But I forgot the trick with the basket that you actually have to hold it. You know, the little slider that locks it closed can. Can get away from you. So just one of those things where at the beginning of grilling season, you're remembering all the little tricks and everything.

[Phil Taylor]

And.

[Randall Williams]

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 bison.

[Giannis Patelis]

From that bison. Been eating pretty good?

[Randall Williams]

Oh, phenomenal.

[Spencer Newharth]

Perfectly cooked.

[Randall Williams]

Phenomenal. Yeah, I was very pleased with that. I was very pleased with that.

[Spencer Newharth]

So.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, it's not like. It's not like a carnivore diet thing. It's just. I spilled the other stuff.

[Spencer Newharth]

Did the dogs enjoy that?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. Dolly ate a bunch of mushrooms. And what else we had in there? Some squash and some things like that.

[Giannis Patelis]

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. How.

[Randall Williams]

Just a little. 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.

[Giannis Patelis]

Okay. I mean, it could be goat cheese maybe.

[Phil Taylor]

Maybe.

[Giannis Patelis]

If not ricotta.

[Spencer Newharth]

No.

[Randall Williams]

God, this is embarrassing.

[Giannis Patelis]

I mean, ricotta comes in a tub.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. It's not burrata.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, man.

[Spencer Newharth]

I feel like. Do you cut that one open and sort of like.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, it's kind of like. Like it's kind of like a puff ball almost. Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

So we'll.

[Randall Williams]

We'll do burrata and veggies and. Sorry, they got the scapula thing wrong. Thing wrong was burrata.

[Spencer Newharth]

I like on some pasta, like, if you didn't have meat in the pasta and you put that on top and that's like, how you'd finish.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, it's. It's nice. It's nice with, like, some grilled veggies.

[Giannis Patelis]

And I love getting ideas from you guys. Like, in the last year, you know, Spencer, we've been doing Spencer's pot stickers a bunch. And now I'm gonna try burrata with my meat and veggies.

[Randall Williams]

Don't buy the ricotta to.

[Giannis Patelis]

No, no. Where do you get the burrata? Is that easy to find?

[Spencer Newharth]

Albertsons has it.

[Giannis Patelis]

Oh, okay.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Giannis Patelis]

But tonight I'm making an elk casserole. Tater tots on top that. I got the recipe from my buddy, which isn't. You know, it's not too crazy. I could have probably thrown one together, but it's nice to have someone else's recipe because it'll make it taste different than my food.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

You have foundation now to start, we're

[Randall Williams]

doing a little sheet pan. We're doing a little sheet pan dinner with some elk bratwurst that I got out this morning.

[Giannis Patelis]

What does a sheet pan dinner mean?

[Randall Williams]

Just put everything, like on a big cookie sheet.

[Giannis Patelis]

Uhhuh.

[Randall Williams]

Throw it in the oven. Like last night we did. We did a chicken on the sheet pan with, like, some grapes and some slices of squash and things like that. You just season it all, throw it all in, pull it all out, slap it all on the plate, eat it all. Just like a one.

[Spencer Newharth]

A one dish thing, One pan meal. That's like. Yeah, that's what Mom's on Facebook really like to make is something that they make. I find some good recipes from moms on Facebook.

[Randall Williams]

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.

[Steven Rinella]

Yep.

[Randall Williams]

Chop it up, you get it home, throw it in the oven, and I don't know, like, 30 minutes later, it's done.

[Spencer Newharth]

Good. Meat eater menu finale.

[Giannis Patelis]

What's next, Randall?

[Randall Williams]

Our next. Oh, I've got the wrong script in here. Our next segment is Gear Talk.

[Giannis Patelis]

I. I missed something, though, with this plate of food that Corey brought in.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yep.

[Giannis Patelis]

Was there a theme?

[Randall Williams]

No.

[Giannis Patelis]

Or.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, I think he was just doing us a solid.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, I think he's just trying to help us out.

[Phil Taylor]

Randall, are we still. We're probably not doing the thing we talked about.

[Randall Williams]

Outback Steakhouse.

[Phil Taylor]

I didn't get a corn dog, and I haven't eaten today, and I'm getting pissed.

[Randall Williams]

I thought when I asked if anybody else wanted a corn dog.

[Spencer Newharth]

Somebody in the office, please bring Phil some Olive Garden. There's got to be extra Olive Garden.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

Bring me some cold Alfredo, please.

[Giannis Patelis]

Del, heat it up in the microwave

[Randall Williams]

on the second floor steakhouse if you want. Phil, probably be here by three.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, please do. Thank you. Our next segment is Throwback Thursday.

[Giannis Patelis]

I'm excited for this one.

[Randall Williams]

No, it's Gear Talk.

[Phil Taylor]

Not according to my script.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, I read past there. Sorry.

[Spencer Newharth]

Can you play two sounds at once?

[Phil Taylor]

No, actually, maybe I haven't tried.

[Randall Williams]

Our next segment is Throwback Thursday. Throwback Thursday is where we look at old hunting and fishing and photos of the crew. I think I added some extra photos in there.

[Giannis Patelis]

They had to be hunting and fishing.

[Randall Williams]

Not really.

[Giannis Patelis]

You didn't say that.

[Randall Williams]

That's just how we've always done it.

[Spencer Newharth]

Mine is yours at a bowling alley or mine.

[Giannis Patelis]

Mine is adjacent.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Phil Taylor]

All right. Yours counts. I think our first one is going to be.

[Giannis Patelis]

Oh, hold on.

[Phil Taylor]

Nope.

[Giannis Patelis]

Let's take a break. Brody's coming in.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, my God.

[Giannis Patelis]

It's not just any tattoo.

[Spencer Newharth]

Wow, that's a lot. What does that say? Brody, come over here. Be on camera. What does that thing say?

[Giannis Patelis]

Where?

[Spencer Newharth]

Like right here. Right Here, between us, that says.

[Randall Williams]

I don't know, it's Latin. Sola Berkeley nobilitat, which is the Henderson clan, is an old ass Scottish clan, like going back hundreds and hundreds of years. And that was their, 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 Japanese acting like a dictator. So it basically means like, your name, your title, your rank, none of that means. It's like what you do is what

[Spencer Newharth]

makes you a noble.

[Randall Williams]

And I think it's kind of appropriate for the times we're living.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's a great first tattoo. Well done.

[Randall Williams]

Congratulations, Brody. Congratulations.

[Spencer Newharth]

Did you feel brave getting that tattoo, Brody? No, no, I was kind of trying

[Randall Williams]

to figure out, out how to explain it to my wife. She doesn't know.

[Phil Taylor]

That's how I got my first tattoo as well.

[Giannis Patelis]

No, Brody, you know that thing's permanent, right?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. You guys think tattoos are good behavior? They're not good behavior. Look, I ain't gonna be on the

[Spencer Newharth]

tattoos I regret segment. I'm just.

[Randall Williams]

I'm just using a line from, I think you should leave later, dude.

[Phil Taylor]

Thanks, Brody.

[Randall Williams]

That's nice.

[Spencer Newharth]

Thank you for sharing.

[Randall Williams]

Well done.

[Phil Taylor]

And also thank you to Corey Calkins for bringing me.

[Randall Williams]

Phil's eating some zogna.

[Spencer Newharth]

Is it warm or cold?

[Phil Taylor]

I don't know. It's yet to be determined. I will keep you updated.

[Randall Williams]

Okay, well, four corn dogs is a bad idea. No, let's throw a photo up there, Phil, and get to the throwback.

[Spencer Newharth]

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 the right. His dog Bruce.

[Phil Taylor]

It's really cool.

[Randall Williams]

That's a hell of a dog name.

[Spencer Newharth]

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 goose 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 goose season. So you're like swatting 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, that I want to tell behind this picture. My hometown bar had twofers on Thursday nights. And twofers is where you buy a drink. You get one free. And so if we were ever like, waffling on going to twofers, you just twist the other guy's arm, be like, you know you're losing money by not going to twofers. And that always worked. So we didn't miss very many twofers. So we went to twofers the day before this hunt. And that morning, I could barely sit up in my ground blind. I was, like, really struggling. And I was like, man, this is one of the worst hangovers I've ever had. And I didn't think I had drank that much the night before. But sometimes twofers sneaks up on you, so it could have been deceiving. So Thursday night was twofers. Friday morning was the goose hunt. The picture you're seeing here with Danny and Jake. Saturday, I go to work. I worked at a federal fish hatchery 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 hangover, it's now gone from one of the worst to just the worst I have ever had in my life. And I was laying on the floor of my office at work after doing the fish chores that morning, and I was in a lot of pain. And I start googling what's 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.

[Randall Williams]

That's great.

[Spencer Newharth]

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. And they're like, okay, we need to take our own tests, though, just to make sure that's what it is before we go cutting you 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? I'm 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. And I was a biology major. They were all biology majors. I didn't know their names. We were familiar with each other. I knew who they were. And so they all have notepads out that they're writing down on. And the doctor says, so we. 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. It was a really awful experience. I go to Walmart after that, load up on all of the laxatives, 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. ER and I'm like, hey, I need an enema, because I feel like I'm about to die here. And they're like, okay, but we got to do our own test first just to make sure that's what's going on. So they. They go and they take some tests and they. The doctor comes in the room and he's like, hey, your appendix is about to rupture, actually.

[Randall Williams]

So it was.

[Spencer Newharth]

It was just, like, absolutely terrible. I took all the laxatives. It just, like, destroyed my insides. That was not the problem. 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. And now I don't have an appendix anymore.

[Randall Williams]

Trust your intuition and the Internet, folks.

[Spencer Newharth]

And it all started on that goose hunt where I could barely sit up. That was when my appendix was like, all right, it's time to go.

[Giannis Patelis]

That's a great story, Spencer. I feel like.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, I'm surprised. In the six years, the seven that I've known you, I've never heard.

[Randall Williams]

Well, he's still embarrassed about. About the constipated thing. I mean, he doesn't want anybody to imagine.

[Spencer Newharth]

The worst part is those girls never got the update. I didn't get to, like, find them the next day.

[Giannis Patelis]

Did you. Did you say that? I don't think. I think you just said peers. You didn't say that they were a girl.

[Spencer Newharth]

It was three women.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, I would have just walked into class the next day in, like, a white T shirt with just a bunch of blood coming out of the sutures from your appendix thing and be like, oh, doc was wrong.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yep. So that was the goose hunt. Appendix.

[Giannis Patelis]

You guys had a bunch of five Gallon buckets out on that goose hunt. What for?

[Spencer Newharth]

I don't think we were using them on the hunt. They were just in the back of someone's truck.

[Randall Williams]

They used it for the picture.

[Spencer Newharth]

Both those guys were farmers, so they, you know, they were always within arm's reach of a five gallon pail. They were just using the pictures. That's right.

[Randall Williams]

Okay, great work.

[Phil Taylor]

We got Randall up next.

[Spencer Newharth]

My Throwback Thursday.

[Randall Williams]

This is my Throwback Thursday. This is the first summer I worked in Alaska. It's like the first week of September or something. And we packed up the whole lodge.

[Giannis Patelis]

What year is this?

[Randall Williams]

2006? No, no, not 2006. 2010 maybe. So it was me, my boss, his 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 caribou my boss shot. And I've got to fly out that night. I've got like a midnight flight out of Anchorage. And so we load up the boat. We. We go to get going down river, and the boat won't get up on the one step. We're like, oh, we got like way too much in here. So we, we go back, we put some. We like decide what could just live there for the winter. 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, wow. We're like, all right, we just need to go. Like, it was. It was kind of just ride and it was never like actually getting up and down, but it was getting out of the water a little bit. And so we go down this river and we turn up the sit in a river which is like the big river flowing down into Cook Inlet, and we just make that turn. And like, these are two big glacial rivers, like, big water. And all of a sudden the boat. Boat just stops and the motor's 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 is that, like, Collects all the water had just totally fallen off the motor. And why the reason we couldn't get up on step is because the motor wasn't drawing water through the jet pump.

[Spencer Newharth]

Surprisingly still run in that shape.

[Randall Williams]

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.

[Phil Taylor]

The.

[Randall Williams]

The foot fell off the motor. We can't go anywhere. Anywhere. And we kind of kick and paddle over to a sandbar and eventually get in touch, I think with the inreach, get in touch with a guy at the landing who comes down in this big barge. Like a big, you know, custom built barge with two outboards. And he tows us back to the landing just like ripping upstream. Long story short, short, like we go, we go through the drive thru. I think it was a Carl's Jr. In Wasilla. 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 were wearing. Like the plan was like go and get cleaned up and get. So I this like we were in this old F150 van. I kind of hop out, throw my out, take my waiters off, roll it all. 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, ah, man, I'm tough. You know, like they're probably wondering what the hell we did. But it was one of those things. There's just like. 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'd taken 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. Checked the motor out and almost ended up spending the night on that sandbar. But thankfully we had. We were able to get in touch with someone.

[Spencer Newharth]

You recently said year 22 was when you were most the hands when you were most handsome. How old were you in this picture?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, that's probably pretty close. Okay, that's probably pretty close. Um, yeah. Yeah. Coming out of that, Coming out of that summer, that winter was pretty good.

[Spencer Newharth]

What was working for you, you think that age?

[Randall Williams]

Malnutrition. Malnutrition and a lack of access to booze. That summer. And also I was like, you know, just, just like working all day long. Just like manual labor, carrying around cutting firewood. That was when I was in my, my prime, you know, and still handsome.

[Spencer Newharth]

You were just more handsome than you were saying.

[Randall Williams]

No, I'm hideous. A monster. Look at me.

[Giannis Patelis]

All right, Giannis, I think a livewire orange mountain view over there. I've never seen that one.

[Spencer Newharth]

Tell us about that, Phil.

[Phil Taylor]

Livewire was one. It 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 punch orange soda with a little, little citrus twist, you know.

[Spencer Newharth]

Jake, the producer, does that agree with your tasting notes? It.

[Phil Taylor]

It tastes like a pretty generic orange soda to me. Oh, yeah, Take it back.

[Giannis Patelis]

Sorry, Bill. I was more of a mellow yellow guy. I don't know why. Maybe just. Maybe just to be different.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, I could see. I could see that.

[Giannis Patelis]

I like the song. Donovan's Tommy Mellow.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, that is a good song.

[Phil Taylor]

Quite right.

[Randall Williams]

But yeah, you are kind of a non conformist. It'd be hard to imagine you're just hitting the do hard.

[Phil Taylor]

Yanni, what's going on in this picture?

[Giannis Patelis]

Well.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, I don't know even. Which one of you is Yanni?

[Giannis Patelis]

Come on.

[Spencer Newharth]

I'm an assumed. A little feller.

[Randall Williams]

No, the guy in the middle with the broken arm. You're not the guy on the left, are you?

[Spencer Newharth]

Yes.

[Giannis Patelis]

This picture is actually from the future. His little twist on throwback Scoutmaster, I am on the right there with the cast on my arm.

[Spencer Newharth]

How'd you get that cast?

[Giannis Patelis]

I believe that was 90 or 91. Were you guys even alive?

[Spencer Newharth]

I was born in 92.

[Randall Williams]

I was five years old.

[Phil Taylor]

I was. I was months old.

[Randall Williams]

Four or five, I guess.

[Spencer Newharth]

Jake.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

You're.

[Giannis Patelis]

You're born. So Spencer wasn't on the planet yet anyways. Yeah, that's Latvian Boy Scouts. I can go on for hours about what. Where we could sort of diverge from this photograph here. That's my buddy Andres. Anton, I think in. In American society probably goes by Andres, but he and I were born on the same day, six hours apart. And we're. There's some sort of ceremony going on there. I, I don't.

[Phil Taylor]

I.

[Giannis Patelis]

He couldn't remember. He sent me the 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 a 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 Advent, on Scouting Adventures. Andres parents who, who are not in this photo, they used to. They kind of always led the Cub Scout troop, but they. I owe them. I've told this them many times in the past, but they were the ones that they had the resources to take the time off and that often. We had a school bus that we had bought the Kalamazoo Latvian Boy Scout troop. We had our own school bus. The back. We took everything out, put in shelves and bunks and stuff. And they drove us all over the place on. On fun adventures. So I owed them a lot cuz certainly in my younger years, you know, they exposed me to nature quite often, you know, so it was pretty cool. Yeah. The cat skateboarding.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, I was about to guess snowboarding.

[Spencer Newharth]

You could have given me 10 guesses. I wouldn't have said skateboarding.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah, I believe I was trying like a front side 5o grind.

[Randall Williams]

McTwisty.

[Giannis Patelis]

No, no, I never got that good to be trying. McTwist.

[Spencer Newharth]

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

[Giannis Patelis]

Maybe I took third place in a skate competition. Yeah. There was three competitors.

[Randall Williams]

You were definitely a mellow yellow guy.

[Giannis Patelis]

But yeah, it was on a. The K Zoo skate suit, which I think is now the longest running skate park in the United States of America. After some park in, I think Encinitas closed down or changed ownership or whatever.

[Spencer Newharth]

Whatever.

[Giannis Patelis]

Bill Ferguson. I don't know if Bill still owns it, but anyways, yeah, I 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.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Giannis Patelis]

And your back is to the. To the. Is below you. Right. You're. You're like looking up and away. It's very easy to go the other direction.

[Randall Williams]

Do you mind if I pause you while facade. What kind of graphic did you have on the bottom of your deck?

[Giannis Patelis]

Oh, skeleton. I mean, yeah. But in that time period I had probably 30 decks.

[Phil Taylor]

Whoa.

[Giannis Patelis]

So it's hard to say.

[Randall Williams]

God, I'm Jealous.

[Giannis Patelis]

But then during that, I know I had, I. It was clear grip tape had popped on the scene right around then and I had a. I think I had a pink Dog Town skateboard board that I had the clear grip tape on.

[Randall Williams]

So it was Dog Town.

[Giannis Patelis]

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 Smith's, I believe that was his name from Santa Cruz. And it had the Grim Reaper, I guess, kind of a character. And he's throwing the like the big fireball.

[Randall Williams]

That does sound like a skateboard deck.

[Giannis Patelis]

But anyways, I, I broke that wrist. And that there is the reason that my wrist, it doesn't bend any farther than that.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, interesting.

[Randall Williams]

Like that wrist goes back doing.

[Giannis Patelis]

I can't do push ups like a, like a, in a classic form, I do them on my knuckles.

[Randall Williams]

Oh.

[Giannis Patelis]

So my push ups are fine. Thanks for asking, but I just have to do them on my knuckles.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

But yet it's.

[Giannis Patelis]

I meant I went years and years and years and sort of just dealt with it and it wasn't a problem. And then you get a little age and there's some arthritis that builds up in like a broken joint like that and it's become a little more problematic, especially trying to work out like actually this morning I was doing some Turkish getups. You know, you know what that move is?

[Randall Williams]

Do I ever.

[Giannis Patelis]

Well, holding that weight, I can hold a lot of weight, but if it gets off canter at all. This wrist has zero strength.

[Phil Taylor]

Strengthen it.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Giannis Patelis]

So a big, A big place I flip my car is shooting my bow right when you gotta.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, yeah. Pull against.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. You need to be able to bend that wrist a little bit.

[Giannis Patelis]

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 relaxed.

[Spencer Newharth]

Has anyone ever watched you who's like pro and been like Yanni, your left wrist is all wrong when you're doing.

[Giannis Patelis]

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, like if you shot my bow, if you're a right hander, you will shoot it. If you shoot it through paper, which is a thing you do to make sure your bow is tuned. 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.

[Randall Williams]

Just because your bow is set up to compensate for.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yes. And so the guys in the shop now have set up enough bows for me that they know that they set it up with like a 3 to 4 inch tear. I think it's to the right. And then they'll be like, that's right.

[Phil Taylor]

And then I.

[Giannis Patelis]

And then I come in and I shoot it and I'll just shoot a bullet hole through the paper.

[Randall Williams]

It's like you got a lift in one. One shoe. Yeah. Legs were different lengths, kind of.

[Giannis Patelis]

So yeah, that I was in 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 bicep. So 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. They basically screwed the pooch completely. On healing. On healing this bone. Funny story is years later, I mean, years later, I think I was maybe even living in Bozeman. Yeah, maybe I had this job. So maybe just like 10, 10, 11 years ago, I have good insurance, got enough money to waltz into the, to the hospital and be like, fix this. So they take X rays and the guy comes in and he's like, man, wish I could help you. He's like, I can do things like break it, rebreak it, pins and all this, but you're going to end up with the same range of motion that you have now. Like, 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. So.

[Randall Williams]

Damn.

[Giannis Patelis]

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 push ups to any, any kind of strength thing like that, it. I'm always compensating for it.

[Randall Williams]

You bench classic.

[Giannis Patelis]

No, it's very hard. I have to like keep like a very weird kind of straight.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Giannis Patelis]

I don't know, like almost rotate my wrist forward to do it.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

If we're ever wrestling Yanni, I know a weak spot.

[Steven Rinella]

Oh, 100.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah. You can take me out by pinching

[Randall Williams]

that wrist that's good to know. Sorry not to make a little light of it.

[Giannis Patelis]

No, it's all. I mean, it. It is what it is. It is what it is. I played a lot of basketball during that time period of my life.

[Randall Williams]

Thank God that's not your stroke hand.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah, but what happened is I would go to the Y every day after school because it literally across the street from our middle school.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Giannis Patelis]

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

[Randall Williams]

out of the way and.

[Giannis Patelis]

And people didn't like it that. That I was just like using my cast as kind of a weapon as I was playing basketball.

[Randall Williams]

That's sweet. Was your left. Did your left handed layup ever develop?

[Giannis Patelis]

No.

[Randall Williams]

Same here.

[Giannis Patelis]

No. No.

[Randall Williams]

Injured my wrist though.

[Phil Taylor]

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 thing?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, yeah, we can go to fake news.

[Giannis Patelis]

Can I make a comment real quick before fake news?

[Phil Taylor]

Sure.

[Giannis Patelis]

I can't believe you guys are pulling over a thousand viewers right now.

[Spencer Newharth]

The whole day.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, it's so far. It dropped off there for a minute. I started getting worried. But we're back up into healthy territory

[Phil Taylor]

once they found out Yanni's skating cred.

[Spencer Newharth]

I don't know if you saw the comments, but there were a lot of folks very genuinely taking today off work.

[Giannis Patelis]

No.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's kind of disgusting how many people

[Phil Taylor]

said they were filthy.

[Spencer Newharth]

But we're happy that they're here.

[Phil Taylor]

Filthy cretins.

[Giannis Patelis]

I wonder if their employers know, like, are they really taking pto? Those are people with us.

[Spencer Newharth]

They have unlimited pizza.

[Randall Williams]

I mean, I'm halfway. I'm. I'm halfway, like, hoping that our employers don't know about this. I know that they do, but I feel like they shouldn't.

[Giannis Patelis]

All these people. Let's see. It's like early March. Squirrel seasons have to still be open in a lot of states. Shouldn't she folks be out squirrel hunting?

[Spencer Newharth]

Well, more radio live.

[Randall Williams]

It's fishing.

[Spencer Newharth]

This is appointment television.

[Phil Taylor]

Thanks. Thanks to Dalton Morgan, who says he will die before he turns off the stream.

[Randall Williams]

Hell yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's a challenge.

[Randall Williams]

Hell, yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

Hey, as outdoorsman, we always spend a lot of time thinking about how we interact with the land, how we care for the land.

[Randall Williams]

You ready? Ready for this one, Phil?

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah. Do Fake News.

[Randall Williams]

Our next segment is fake news. You sure about that? It's a mediator Radio Live Fake out. For the second time ever in the history of Meat Eater Radio Live, this is a fan favorite segment, Media Radio Live 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. Interview with the host of Meat Eater Radio Live, Randall Williams, who's coming to us live from Meat Eater HQ in Bozeman, Montana. Randall, welcome to the show. Thanks, Randall. It's great to be here with you, Randall. I wonder if you can give folks a little background on Media Radio Live. Yeah, sure, Randall. I'm happy to speak to that. Meteor Radio Live, as I'm sure your listeners are aware, is a weekly podcast that we live stream every Thursday at 11am Master Mountain Time from Meteor HQ in Bozeman, Montana. The first episode aired August 22, 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. Episodes. How did you guys handle weeks where you weren't in the office?

[Giannis Patelis]

Sorry to interrupt. Is it possible to interrupt your.

[Phil Taylor]

No,

[Randall Williams]

we had to pre record some of our live episodes. Those pre records 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 combine that with a live stream? I can imagine a scenario where you could live stream part of the show and 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 and the crew handling it? Yeah, I'm doing okay. And Spencer's come to accept. Accept it. I've noticed that Phil's come to work with booze on his breath. A little more than usual, but not that much more than usual.

[Spencer Newharth]

I thought so.

[Randall Williams]

The real wild card is Giannis. 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 officemate Corey is a really good guy and they have a close relationship. We're all trying to play our part in Yanni's 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 Meat Eater 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 a hell of 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 Meat Eater Live grand finale, live extravaganza. Thanks, Randall. I appreciate you having me on.

[Steven Rinella]

That worked flawlessly.

[Spencer Newharth]

That was great.

[Phil Taylor]

It's one of our best guests we've had so far.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, that was one idea I was really excited about. Thanks for Phil's help in allowing me to pull that one off.

[Giannis Patelis]

Was that a thing that we were going to do and then never did, or did you just come up with that?

[Randall Williams]

I sort of toyed with the idea, but then I thought it would be funny for the finale to interview ourselves. But then time got away from me, so it was just a solo interview, but I think it worked out better that way.

[Spencer Newharth]

I mildly knew this was coming because in our document that we follow the script, Randall has a section that's just called Secret.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, that's where that was.

[Spencer Newharth]

I did not go and look at it. I'm very proud that I resisted seeing it, but that's. Now I know what lived there.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, that was fun. Thanks a lot, guys. Thanks for indulging me.

[Spencer Newharth]

And I love Phil Sounder. That's. Phil was very deep in his bag to make that sound for the. The Meat eater fake out like he stole the ball, crossed up a defender, did it between legs. Dunk.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, I was gonna say the exact same thing.

[Giannis Patelis]

Brianna maybe has brought us some Outback Steakhouse, I think.

[Phil Taylor]

I think food got delivered here by maybe someone watching the show.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's a Dairy Queen.

[Giannis Patelis]

What do we have here Brianna.

[Phil Taylor]

I think it's from a fan. What a fan.

[Spencer Newharth]

A corn dog and a hot dog and some fries. Okay.

[Giannis Patelis]

Okay.

[Phil Taylor]

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.

[Spencer Newharth]

Shout out to Brian H. Oh, thank

[Randall Williams]

you, Brian H. Is the order. It's from Dairy Queen.

[Phil Taylor]

Thanks, Brianna.

[Randall Williams]

Two corn dogs, two hot dogs and a regular fry.

[Spencer Newharth]

So that's great.

[Randall Williams]

This is highly unexpected.

[Spencer Newharth]

We are eating well here in the

[Giannis Patelis]

studio, but how excited are you right now?

[Randall Williams]

Who wants to what? I'm actually really excited. Oh, you know what? They're not corn dogs. They're probably chili cheese dogs.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, oh, okay. Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Okay, that's cool. So now this is the best day ever. Except for the ending of my favorite part of my job is.

[Giannis Patelis]

Are the previously consumed four corn dogs going to, like, affect at all? Like your. Your movement moves? No, it'll here in the next 10 minutes.

[Spencer Newharth]

Improve his game. Yeah, yeah.

[Randall Williams]

We got two chili cheese dogs, two hot dogs. Whoever did this had a better idea than. Than my little stunt that we just pulled off. Who wants one? Phil, maybe.

[Giannis Patelis]

Phil says he's hungry.

[Phil Taylor]

I. Well, now I'm full of Olive Garden, so I'm doing. I'm doing great.

[Randall Williams]

If there's anybody in the Meat Eater live. Sorry, not the media, the meat eater office list. Listening. Ketchup, mustard, relish, if we have it, please.

[Giannis Patelis]

Oh, the commercial kitchen definitely has two of them.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, maybe I'll grab some on my tour. What should we do next, Phil, should we do?

[Phil Taylor]

We can find a Gear talk.

[Giannis Patelis]

Wow.

[Randall Williams]

Our next segment is Gear Talk. Never had to talk about gear, but I know someone who has.

[Spencer Newharth]

His name is Giannis Pudelis.

[Randall Williams]

It makes me wonder if he still wants to talk about gear. I guess he doesn't have a choice.

[Spencer Newharth]

How much money will he spend? It's Yanni talking gear again.

[Giannis Patelis]

Oh, I'm gonna miss that, Phil. What do you need, Brody?

[Spencer Newharth]

Skull.

[Randall Williams]

That little skull. Do we.

[Spencer Newharth]

Brody's gotta take his show and tell items home.

[Phil Taylor]

While this transfer happens, I'm going to start a new audio file for the podcast version. So hold tight for about 15 seconds.

[Randall Williams]

Live audience. We're holding tight here.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah. While you do this, I'm going to take a 10. One.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

So my. If. Yeah. When you come back, could you also bring the ketchup and mustard? Yeah, I will. So my Gear talk is this thing. It's made by Night Eyes. I'm familiar with, and it's. It's. It's a Daisy chain with a bunch of little plastic double sided carabiners. S hook type carabiners. And then on the end it's got this plastic coated wire.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah, they call those gear ties.

[Randall Williams]

Gear ties.

[Giannis Patelis]

Gear ties by night.

[Spencer Newharth]

Which part's a gear tie? The like firm part.

[Giannis Patelis]

That thing.

[Randall Williams]

So, so this thing, I, I don't like keep it in my backpack or anything. I keep it in the truck. But if you, 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 hook this inside the truck and you can clip your like gloves, your socks, your hat, 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 your stuff. You can hang it up in your, in your tent. But I found it to. And also in the garage when you get back, back home. Just like it's a makeshift clothesline 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 handles of your truck window, like tie it on there tied to a headrest, hang some stuff up or like in the bed of your truck under the truck cap. It's a handy little piece of gear. It was a Christmas present and I wasn't quite sure, you know, how it would fit into the, the, the routine. But it's like just something to have around to like hang stuff up.

[Spencer Newharth]

Looks like everybody could use one of these.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. Yeah, probably, probably overstated its usefulness.

[Giannis Patelis]

Can you give us a, a little, a critique of the chili cheese dog from DQ or a compliment?

[Randall Williams]

Oh, I think it's good actually. Yeah, I don't really have any tasting notes. This is just a very solid chili cheese cheese dog.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, Yanni, you go. My gear talk has pictures.

[Giannis Patelis]

Okay, you want me to go next? I don't have any pictures.

[Randall Williams]

You read my mind.

[Giannis Patelis]

I did not. I'm on the wagon or off the wagon, however they say it at the moment. So no beers for me. 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 what you'd call a roll top dry bag. This one I believe is a little bit lighter than most roll top dry bags say you would just buy at REI for the purpose of putting some gear in for a rafting trip. But this bag lives in the bottom of my backpack and, and you guys have all heard this before. Maybe live by the same rule that it's always great to have gear that is multi purpose.

[Phil Taylor]

Right.

[Giannis Patelis]

You're not carrying around just for one reason. So the main reason for this is to carry out. 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.

[Spencer Newharth]

That thing smells like meat.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah, you can smell it now that

[Spencer Newharth]

I've unrolled it, but kind of in a nice way.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah, it cleans up very easy. I literally just flip it inside out, spray it a little bit. I throw it in the washer and just run, run the old 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 honeymoon in New Zealand, which is a very, very wet place, especially the time of year we were there and fall that instead of running rain covers for your backpack like something, they go over your backpack there. They basically just line their entire backpack with one big garbage bag 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. Rain covers are just light. They get pulled off. They're not. They're not completely, completely inclusive of, of everything that's, you know, on your gear. So. Yeah, so now if I know I'm gonna have a wet trip, 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 everything inside of it stays nice and dry. You don't have to worry about it. And so.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, who makes that?

[Giannis Patelis]

Again, this one's made by Exo Mountain Gear, But I'm sure there's a bunch of companies out there that make it. But this one's nice too 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, but it's narrow enough that the bulge out. Yeah. Well, the load ends up being more vertical and along your back, which is a much more comfortable way to, 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 yeah, there you go.

[Randall Williams]

All right.

[Spencer Newharth]

My Gear Talk has a couple photos that Phil is going to pull up. I'm reviewing my rooftop Tent. I've owned this rooftop tent for two years. It's my second rooftop tent. My second one that I got is the thing that the most researched purchase of my life that wasn't a house or pickup. This would be number three was my roof top tent. After all that research, I decided I wanted a Super Pacific. They are made in Portland and I absolutely love it. I. I really enjoy this thing. My wife really enjoys it as well. We use it together. We've used it on our own. I think I've probably spent 50 nights inside of it. A lot of different times a year, different parts of the country. I've done this was picture was in Montana in November. I stayed in there. I've. I've done California in March. I've done Arizona in May. I've done Minnesota in June. So I've used it a lot of different seasons. Really big fan of it. It's ideal, I think for someone who is doing either solo trips or a trip with one other person. If you have two teenage kids as well as you and a spouse, it's. It's not a rooftop tent, is it for you? This is for.

[Randall Williams]

Just so we're clear, that was ketchup.

[Steven Rinella]

That was not.

[Randall Williams]

That was not a gastric issue there.

[Phil Taylor]

Call that a 10, 3 rooftop tent

[Spencer Newharth]

would be again, ideal for someone who's like just got a spouse or maybe a spouse and a dog 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. I think the ideal user lives someplace with a lot of public land. The type of camping that we do a lot you'd call boondocking, which is just you pull over someplace and. And that's where you sleep and you don't need a reservation. And it's just like a piece of BLM or national forest where you can disperse camp legally. That is how we spend most nights in our rooftop tent. I'm a really big fan. I. I will own one of these things. Things 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.

[Giannis Patelis]

Oh, you think it'll last that long?

[Spencer Newharth]

I. I sure hope so.

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yep. I'm a big fan. So I, I would recommend a rooftop tent to anybody who lives in the west who enjoys long road trips where they are doing a boondocking style.

[Giannis Patelis]

Now, I've never heard it called boondock docking.

[Spencer Newharth]

What would you call it?

[Giannis Patelis]

Dispersed camping.

[Spencer Newharth]

I feel like boondocking RV Lingo is specific to. Yeah, like when you're sleeping in the thing that has wheels that got you

[Randall Williams]

there, 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 boondocking.

[Spencer Newharth]

Boondocking again. Mine is a super Pacific. I'm a really big fan of it. Oh, Randall's got an alarm going off. What's that alarm alarm mean?

[Randall Williams]

I set an alarm for 2:28pm so that. That means we're three hours and 28 minutes into this, into this podcast, which officially makes this the longest podcast in the history of meat eaters.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, everyone in the chat, you were here.

[Randall Williams]

Meat Eater episode 105, which aired on September 21 or September 2, 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 in the history of this company. So congratulations.

[Giannis Patelis]

Who was on, though?

[Spencer Newharth]

We did it. It sounds like a Heffelfinger episode. Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. So I don't remember. I did this like five minutes before we started. I asked Phil if there's an easy way to look it up. He said no. So I just scrolled through all of them and wrote down down the ones that seem the longest. But this is officially the longest meat eater podcast ever, and we're only halfway

[Spencer Newharth]

through, so it's actually slightly scary.

[Randall Williams]

How much do we have to do?

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, that means if. If this math holds, Randall, you'll have eaten, I would say a dozen hot dogs by the end of our stream.

[Randall Williams]

I'm almost. This is number seven.

[Spencer Newharth]

You're 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. To answer, you know, any questions you have because it is a big purchase and it's something that is. 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.

[Giannis Patelis]

Oh, no.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, Nate Mason.

[Randall Williams]

Sad.

[Spencer Newharth]

He does not enjoy his experience so far and he wishes he would have done a couple things differently. So don't be Nate, you know, really research this thing. Reach out to me if you have any questions.

[Randall Williams]

You could have told me that.

[Giannis Patelis]

How the hell it lengthwise, you know, for a fellow that's six two, I find a lot. It looks like my toes might be touching your.

[Spencer Newharth]

Your toes might be touching. It's a wedge style rooftop tent. There's many different styles. This style is called a wedge style. And so your toes, Yanni, you're a big guy. They might be touching the bottom, but Super Pacific has the option to give you an extender 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. Truck. That makes it longer. So you'd be totally fine there. Super Pacific, the most important thing is you're 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 gonna have wet socks. I've never experienced that in the Super Pacific. The online community is in agreement that. 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 gathered, and Super Pacific has nailed it. Big fan.

[Phil Taylor]

Cool.

[Spencer Newharth]

I think we have our crew joining us shortly. They're going to be coming in the room. So if we have a couple feedbacks. Phil, I feel like we should maybe save movie club for later.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay, that's fine. I have to be 100% honest. I have been missing so much of the chat.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's okay.

[Phil Taylor]

If we're gonna do feedback, that's fine. But I'll just be kind of cherry picking as I see stuff.

[Spencer Newharth]

Sorry to Randall. What if we do a hot tip off and then while we do the hot tip off, the crew will come in and we're gonna move on to the next hour and then Randall's it. Okay if we do movie club later?

[Randall Williams]

I don't care.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay. Yeah, I'm definitely not gonna play the drop this time.

[Spencer Newharth]

H O T T I P that song. Do a happy box H O T T I P R let's all do a happy bop.

[Giannis Patelis]

Phil, did you. Were ever. Were you ever privy to Lorne Moulton's hot tip off little thing that he did live for us?

[Phil Taylor]

I remember you guys used to do those and I think you posted a couple on even on YouTube, like back in the day. Yeah, before my time. But I'm not super familiar with them.

[Giannis Patelis]

Now there's a nice example of some fun. Some fun vocals.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, I'll have to check it out.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah. Are we still live?

[Phil Taylor]

Yes. Giannis we're live.

[Giannis Patelis]

Folks are just watching us trade seats.

[Phil Taylor]

That's right. Oh, yeah. I guess that was the, the plan, wasn't it? Okay, well, these, this third head to head of our hot tip offs today. Once again, we do not know who it is. So let's all be surprised. Surprised.

[Randall Williams]

Jack Shovel.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, no, it says meat pole. Wait, what's happening?

[Giannis Patelis]

I am Jack Shovel.

[Randall Williams]

I have a hot tip for y'.

[Spencer Newharth]

All.

[Randall Williams]

If you take a Pringle can and

[Sponsor Voice 2]

you wrap duct tape around it, take

[Randall Williams]

a Swiss army knife or whatever you have and stab a bunch of holes in it, it is perfect for catching crawdads. Look, my little brother has a bunch of them to show you. So catch them. Crawdads.

[Phil Taylor]

Ian Esky.

[Randall Williams]

Hello, everyone. My name is Ian and I'm coming at you with my hot tip today.

[Spencer Newharth]

If you're like me, you're really busy

[Randall Williams]

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 the details of how you make one, but

[Spencer Newharth]

there's some books on that you could probably read.

[Randall Williams]

But it's definitely a long term investment. But what you want to do to make it pay off is kind of start them out with some, some literature. I've got a couple just examples here of the literature we read and are going to be reading. But yeah, that's, that's what you need to do to get your own hunting partner that you can make go hunting with you anytime.

[Phil Taylor]

There you have it.

[Giannis Patelis]

A couple of solid tips there.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, go ahead and put the chat, the poll up in the chat.

[Randall Williams]

I'll be honest, when the kids did Pringles, when he said you get a Pringles can, that sold it for me.

[Spencer Newharth]

That was the winner.

[Randall Williams]

A plus. No notes, but let's see what the chat has to say.

[Spencer Newharth]

Phil 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's 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.

[Phil Taylor]

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.

[Randall Williams]

No, I missed it. What exactly did the second guy say he was?

[Phil Taylor]

I mean, I put it up in the chat. His tip was basically intercourse. Reproduction.

[Randall Williams]

That's what I thought.

[Giannis Patelis]

If you want to have a hunting partner all the time, make one.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. Phil, you ready to call it?

[Phil Taylor]

Let's call it here. With 63% of the vote. That's right. It's Jack and his Pringles can.

[Giannis Patelis]

All right.

[Randall Williams]

Pringle hot dog. Jack, you're getting a. We can give him a gift card.

[Spencer Newharth]

He's getting $100.

[Randall Williams]

$100 gift card to Jack and his brother. Share that with your brother, because I think showing the bag full of crawfish was a nice touch.

[Spencer Newharth]

You're right. I think that sold it for folks who were voting.

[Randall Williams]

God, that's great.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, we have now added three more people to the studio, and our next segment is Mystery Meat.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, I forgot to grab the drop from my computer upstairs.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, no.

[Spencer Newharth]

Can you sing?

[Phil Taylor]

Was the police one. What is this meat? It was. Please don't stand so close to me. What is this meat? Mystery meat.

[Spencer Newharth]

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 taste it and try to guess what the mystery meat is. And he's got it on.

[Giannis Patelis]

I think we should have been blindfolded for this.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, it's kind of already.

[Phil Taylor]

It's kind of funny.

[Randall Williams]

Like the first time we did.

[Spencer Newharth]

I don't know if your microphone's on. If it is, I'm not hearing much of it.

[Phil Taylor]

I'm unmuting, everybody.

[Randall Williams]

It's not another AV problem.

[Phil Taylor]

Am I good? Yeah, you're good.

[Steven Rinella]

You're hot.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. So, like, the first time we did

[Randall Williams]

mystery meat, I was like, oh, yeah, this is going to be an everyday thing.

[Spencer Newharth]

And now, since I'm the only one that's done it, I think it should be Max's mystery me.

[Randall Williams]

That's how I have it written in the. In the Dom.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's great. We've rebranded it now. It's. Oh, yeah, I think it was mystery meat sponsored by Max Barda.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

So Max has two skewers of meat here that we are going to. To taste and then try to guess what it is. I feel like my eyes are already giving me a.

[Giannis Patelis]

Can we just guess from here?

[Spencer Newharth]

No, you got to try it first. Try it. How should I do this? We'll just.

[Randall Williams]

We can each have one. Yeah, but you're probably going to want

[Spencer Newharth]

to cut it a little bit, so. Okay, I'll just take these off here. Cut, cut half and hand it over here. Maxwell, please look scrumptious. Yeah, I don't know.

[Randall Williams]

I've never, never cooked this meat before.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, there's a hint. I've. Here, I'll just let. I'll just pass the cutting board around. You guys can do it yourself. Oh, no, don't pass that thing around. That's gonna be dangerous.

[Phil Taylor]

Just.

[Randall Williams]

Can you throw them?

[Giannis Patelis]

I won't even cut it. Just give everybody a heart already.

[Randall Williams]

Everybody open their mouth.

[Spencer Newharth]

Hey.

[Randall Williams]

Hey. What kind of heart, Yanni?

[Spencer Newharth]

I don't know if it's even gonna be.

[Randall Williams]

Gonna be good, to be honest. I'll be honest. I don't really want to eat it. How you doing after this? I'm DQ glad.

[Steven Rinella]

Seems super full.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah, you seem like you overcooked them, Max.

[Randall Williams]

I was going off some recommendations from someone else. All of our timing all day has been terrible.

[Spencer Newharth]

Max also thought he was going to be serving this 40 minutes ago.

[Randall Williams]

I'll take a bite. Delicios.

[Giannis Patelis]

Is that what happened? Is that you just. They stayed on the grill for 40 minutes?

[Spencer Newharth]

No, the guy who I got these

[Randall Williams]

from told me how to cook them

[Spencer Newharth]

and I think there was some communication issues.

[Randall Williams]

No.

[Spencer Newharth]

So when Spencer asked me to do this, he never said it has to be good. It just has to be a mystery meat. That was only parameters. I did not say it had to be good. No, I've never. But I'm enjoying it anyway.

[Randall Williams]

Good.

[Giannis Patelis]

I mean.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, no, it's pretty good. It's dry.

[Giannis Patelis]

I'm getting my iron.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

I feel like Johnny correctly identified it as a heart. Some sort of organ.

[Randall Williams]

Hard. It is one bite.

[Spencer Newharth]

What animal would have randomized.

[Randall Williams]

I've eaten seven hot dogs today. Max,

[Spencer Newharth]

what animal would have a heart this size? A goose.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Giannis Patelis]

Or a duck.

[Spencer Newharth]

I feel like he would have cooked a goose or a duck heart by now, though. He's never cooked this in his life.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, it seems like a big duck could be wrong.

[Giannis Patelis]

I don't know. It's too small to be a turkey heart.

[Spencer Newharth]

Is it too small?

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah, I have turkey heart.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's got to be something he was able to get eight of as well. Mmm. Is it a bird, Max?

[Randall Williams]

Yes, it is a bird.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay.

[Spencer Newharth]

It Is a bird.

[Phil Taylor]

You want more?

[Spencer Newharth]

A sandhill crane? Nope, no. Tundra swan.

[Randall Williams]

I've already heard it once. Someone says Canada goose. It is a Canada goose. Oh, yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

I'm surprised their heart's that big.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Steve gave these to me.

[Randall Williams]

They're lovers.

[Spencer Newharth]

I had to reach out to him and just be like, what should I make?

[Phil Taylor]

He goes, I'll make this.

[Randall Williams]

So, I mean, I'll be honest. Like, if it wasn't dry, it just tastes like a heart. Yeah, I like it.

[Giannis Patelis]

Oh, yeah. If you cooked it to meat. No, no, thank you.

[Randall Williams]

But she told me to cook it

[Spencer Newharth]

on, like, low in fat, so I

[Randall Williams]

use some of your bear grease, and I just cooked it in that and then did a little sear.

[Phil Taylor]

That was it.

[Randall Williams]

So it's perfect.

[Phil Taylor]

You did good, Max.

[Randall Williams]

A little dry, but yeah, perfect for a little skewer.

[Spencer Newharth]

Quit telling him it's too dry.

[Randall Williams]

Heart nuggies.

[Giannis Patelis]

No, I mean, if you're gonna cook heart.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Giannis Patelis]

Don't cook it to medium well. Cook it to medium rare.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's what I read on the Internet.

[Giannis Patelis]

You'll have a much better experience.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. Pairs well with a Baja Blast, Mountain Dew or a Coors Light or a chili dog from Dairy Queen.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, that last one's still looking at me.

[Spencer Newharth]

All right, we are doing something we have never done now.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, are we doing this?

[Spencer Newharth]

Everyone is going to get out their phones.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay. It'll take me a couple minutes to kill some to get your phone. You need your phone?

[Spencer Newharth]

Yes. You need your phone? Or actually, Ani, you could use my phone.

[Giannis Patelis]

Okay, great. What time is it?

[Spencer Newharth]

It is 2:40. 2:40. So this is the last thing you're going to do. And then you can bounce after this. This is our final use. Giannis Patel is a hard out.

[Phil Taylor]

You guys got a link for this?

[Randall Williams]

Yep, I just sent you it.

[Giannis Patelis]

I do it on the photos.

[Spencer Newharth]

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, and the player with the most votes with the most votes at the end wins the game. Randall, Giannis, Max, Phil, Corey, and Alex are playing. I will try to narrate what is going on. This is probably best consumed by watching it, but I will try to make our listening audience.

[Phil Taylor]

If you are watching this live, Right now you can actually participate in this game. After we all join. After we all join, I will show you a code on the screen and you can be a part of what they call the audience, which means 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, so.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

Hopefully she'll play.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, we practice playing this game and Corey Calkins is providing some extra features.

[Phil Taylor]

Everyone in the room, once you go to the website, type in that code. Don't say it out loud until we're.

[Giannis Patelis]

Oh, what now? I thought I was gonna scan a code.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, I was wrong. Yanni, here, let me. Hand me my phone and I'll get you to where you need to be.

[Giannis Patelis]

Thanks, Spencer.

[Spencer Newharth]

And Yanni was typing something furiously on my phone.

[Phil Taylor]

If you would like to.

[Randall Williams]

I'm in, baby.

[Phil Taylor]

If you would like to participate at home, go to Jackbox tv. Jack. Like the name J A C K box.

[Spencer Newharth]

My wife said I look cute. V. Well done, Max. That's nice.

[Randall Williams]

That's great. Thanks.

[Spencer Newharth]

Alex, ask her.

[Giannis Patelis]

What? Ask her how she thinks I look.

[Randall Williams]

She could probably hear you. Ask her how long she's been watching.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, Phil, we can see the screen. I don't know that matters, Alex.

[Phil Taylor]

I've never done a custom game before.

[Randall Williams]

Cut. Winter just showed back up. I'd keep it long.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, is everybody joining this?

[Randall Williams]

Whoa.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, Good job, Phil. I don't know how you worked that magic.

[Phil Taylor]

Does everybody want more gear either?

[Spencer Newharth]

But you did it anyway. Alex, you got a tattoo today, right?

[Randall Williams]

I sure did.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, yeah. You got the hand tattoo.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, yeah. We should probably go give an update out there. I think Hillary is up. Right.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay, how many players? How many players?

[Spencer Newharth]

You're gonna have six players of us.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay, great.

[Spencer Newharth]

You are the sixth player in the room. Oh, unless Jake wants to play instead of you, Phil.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, yeah, I'll step out because that would make me. That would make it easier for me. So give me. Give me a second.

[Spencer Newharth]

Jake is going to play. Phil, can you remind our audience how to join and vote?

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, they can't join until I start the game here because otherwise they become a player in the game.

[Spencer Newharth]

And for those in the room playing, this is on a timer. So you need to be quick and you need to be witty.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, yeah, I know, I know. Because now that I'm not playing, we gotta do it over again.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, okay.

[Phil Taylor]

So there's a new code for you.

[Randall Williams]

See the code?

[Spencer Newharth]

Yanni, this is gonna take some Troubleshooting. But it will maybe be worth it. And after this game, I think we have three or four more games that we're playing today.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, and Movie club.

[Spencer Newharth]

And Movie club.

[Phil Taylor]

Hey Randall, we're get to movie club.

[Spencer Newharth]

We're gonna do that with Corey tight at the end of the show.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, are we?

[Randall Williams]

We still have the capital.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. Corey, what's your heart out today?

[Phil Taylor]

Oh crap.

[Spencer Newharth]

6:00pm I mean, whatever.

[Randall Williams]

I just got to drive five hours

[Spencer Newharth]

tonight with, oh, I forgot a foot plus snow on the pass.

[Randall Williams]

Whatever. I'll get out of here when I get out here.

[Spencer Newharth]

You know, that's a good attitude. No, none yet.

[Giannis Patelis]

What are you gonna do there?

[Randall Williams]

Right by skiing?

[Phil Taylor]

I screwed up again.

[Giannis Patelis]

Oh, nice.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, Phil. What?

[Randall Williams]

No telling River.

[Phil Taylor]

I've never done a custom game before. I'm so sorry.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, okay.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, you're doing okay. I mean it's not great, but I don't think it's ruined this.

[Phil Taylor]

That's an easy one. Don't read that one out loud. Okay, this time I'm not going to join Jake. Whoever joins it might be Alex. You'll be responsible for running the game. Probably waiting for Alex to choose what to do.

[Spencer Newharth]

We felt as though the finale was the right time to try something new. Because if it's good, you know, we'll do this all the time.

[Randall Williams]

Nope.

[Giannis Patelis]

Oh no.

[Spencer Newharth]

Keeps disconnecting.

[Randall Williams]

This is a. This is a really bad.

[Spencer Newharth]

Maybe we won't do Quiplash.

[Phil Taylor]

How about if we have time at the end we'll come back to Quiplash.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, so you wanna move on to a different game?

[Phil Taylor]

Yes. But everyone in here can still play the other games, right?

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, yeah, they can play the other games.

[Phil Taylor]

Apologies to the audience at home.

[Randall Williams]

Randall, I heard you're gonna go jump in the pond. It's ready, buddy. I was just out there.

[Giannis Patelis]

Did you start sweating profusely in the meat sweats?

[Randall Williams]

They're probably coming.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, Yanni, you're gonna stick around around for our next game, Meat pole. It'll just take like 10 or 15 minutes. Okay, everybody get a whiteboard, a marker and an eraser. Because our next segment is meat pole saying.

[Randall Williams]

Show me your meat boys and take my pole. Welcome to Meat Eater Radio. I got a game to play. All these hot dog boxes, we need

[Giannis Patelis]

a. Yeah, we're going to have to clean up.

[Spencer Newharth]

You hand that over. Spencer. What do you need? The eraser. Okay, so Meat poll 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. You got that? Phil's got too many things to operate over there, so you guys need to pay attention to what your score is. Score is. And who was 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 Meatpole.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, we'll see if I can keep up with 1,000 people.

[Spencer Newharth]

All right, our first question for today is what percentage of meat eater listeners have eaten roadkill? What percentage of meat eater list listeners have eaten roadkill? Randall is doing some very impressive multitasking over here. He's got a chili dog in one hand and a marker in the other.

[Randall Williams]

My fingers are too greasy. I could probably just write on the board with chili grease. Did we find out who delivered that for you guys?

[Spencer Newharth]

Brian H. Is that it, Brian?

[Randall Williams]

I don't know if that's.

[Spencer Newharth]

Could be the professional golfer maybe. What percentage of meat eater listeners have eaten road kill? Go ahead, Randall.

[Randall Williams]

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.

[Spencer Newharth]

What percentage of meat eater listeners have eaten roadkill? Yanni, have you eaten roadkill?

[Giannis Patelis]

Yes, sir. What was it didn't you watch recently? A calf moose?

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. You watched that thing get smacked on the road, right?

[Phil Taylor]

Not quite.

[Giannis Patelis]

My neighbor did. And then he immediately called me and said, just go, Go get that thing.

[Spencer Newharth]

Did it taste any different than a regular moose eating a calf? Did you notice, like, oh, this thing is more tender and.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah, yeah, because, I mean, it was. I mean, we did the math. I mean, if it popped out in May, that thing was like three months old.

[Randall Williams]

Whoa.

[Giannis Patelis]

This is still giant. Still took two of us and we barely got it into my truck. Two of us. And yeah, it was extremely pale meat, just like a veal. You know how they have that more of a pink than a red color.

[Spencer Newharth]

Very few people have eaten a calf moose before.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah, definitely not. It was only three months old.

[Spencer Newharth]

What percentage of meat eater listeners have eaten roadkill? Again, I surveyed 500 of our listeners to get this answer. Is everybody ready? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says 31, Yanni says 27, Cordy says 3. Alex says 13, Maximus says 3, and Jake says 28. The correct answer is 18.8% have eaten roadkill. So I think Alex was The closest. Who was the second closest to 18.8,

[Randall Williams]

I think Cory and I. No, without going over.

[Spencer Newharth]

No, you go over.

[Randall Williams]

What's that?

[Spencer Newharth]

2.6. Yanni had 27.

[Giannis Patelis]

I was within nine.

[Spencer Newharth]

So two points for Alex, one point for Giannis. A 2024 YouGov poll 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.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

What's in the crock pot? I actually had that thought. When you're saying that, I'm sure you talk with your.

[Spencer Newharth]

After you're done chewing.

[Randall Williams]

I'm sure I've eaten roadkill, but I, like, I couldn't get a specific instance of it. Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Phil, who did the best in the chat? 18.8%.

[Phil Taylor]

If you said 18 or 19 in the chat, you know your name. Way to go.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. Well done, Phil. Our second question is what percentage of meat eater listeners would rather get attacked by a black bear than a bison? 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? Corey, which one would you pick? Would you rather be attacked by a black bear or a bison?

[Randall Williams]

Black bears are little.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, so you're.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah, I feel like it's a. It's a pretty easy call, and I'm just hoping that the meat eater listeners know what they're thinking about.

[Spencer Newharth]

What percentage of their listeners would rather get attacked by a black bear than a bison?

[Randall Williams]

I feel like you could fight off

[Spencer Newharth]

a BlackBerry than a bison. Randall, any input? Black bear or bison? Which one you.

[Randall Williams]

I mean, I feel like. Yeah, it's fairly obvious. I don't think black bears kill that many people and.

[Giannis Patelis]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

And when you consider how few bison there are, and it seems like someone gets killed by one every year at Yellowstone, I mean, that's probably just statistically completely inaccurate. But.

[Spencer Newharth]

But you're not that way. You're not going for the right answer. You're going for what meat eater listeners said. What percentage of them would rather get attacked by a black.

[Randall Williams]

So I feel like they know their

[Spencer Newharth]

stuff than a bison. Is everybody ready? Yep. Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying 72. 2%, Giannis 75, Corey 69, Alex 77, Maxwell 73. Jake says 61 of you is dead on the correct answer, 72%. 60.3. Jake nailed it.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, the producer.

[Spencer Newharth]

So Jake gets two points. Who was next closest? Maybe Corey. Alex, you say? No, you said 69. Corey 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.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, I was completely wrong.

[Spencer Newharth]

What did you say?

[Randall Williams]

I said it seems like every year there's you hear about someone getting killed by a bison. It's just not true.

[Spencer Newharth]

I feel like we had one recently that maybe. And that's probably clouding our. 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?

[Randall Williams]

I know one.

[Spencer Newharth]

I know two. What percentage now?

[Randall Williams]

I know two.

[Spencer Newharth]

Seth wasn't here, so that isn't. That's funny cuz I thought about when I parked today. What percentage of pickups in the meteor parking lot were backed into their spot yesterday? Yesterday.

[Randall Williams]

Damn. I know what it looked like today

[Spencer Newharth]

because I thought about this as I

[Randall Williams]

back like, why is nobody backing in today?

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh really? That crossed your mind?

[Randall Williams]

Snowy.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's nice to be able to go

[Randall Williams]

straight out of your spot.

[Spencer Newharth]

Who has points in here so far? I think we have.

[Giannis Patelis]

I do.

[Randall Williams]

This is just like trivia, Spencer.

[Spencer Newharth]

Goose egg. Okay, Max and Randall have.

[Randall Williams]

It's not at all like trivia, Max, because you and I are doing the same.

[Spencer Newharth]

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. At what time? I'm not. It was when I got here because then I also parked. I'm not going to tell you which direction.

[Phil Taylor]

I know which.

[Randall Williams]

Which direction you park. Okay.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, yeah.

[Giannis Patelis]

He's one of those that thinks it's not gonna matter.

[Spencer Newharth]

Goddamn. Think that's true at all? What?

[Randall Williams]

Any idea how quickly I can back up? I do it with.

[Spencer Newharth]

I can go.

[Randall Williams]

I do it without thinking.

[Spencer Newharth]

I base it 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. You know, regular I just have more confidence backing up. H. You mean backing into a spot or backing out of a spot? Backing into a spot, yeah. Even if you. If it's like there's no other cars in the parking spots, I still back up.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

See, I feel like busier. You should back in. Yeah, but it makes the exit safer.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Is everybody ready? Hold on. What percentage of pickups in the Meteor parking lot were backed into their spot yesterday? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says 37. Giannis says 50. Cordy says 47. Alex says 93. Maximus says 87. Jake says 85. The correct answer is 64.8%.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, I forgot the meat eater truck. Who.

[Spencer Newharth]

Who was the closest there? None. I feel like Cory.

[Randall Williams]

14, maybe.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yanni. 64.8. Yanni, you were the closest. I think that makes you the winner today. You got four points at the end of the game.

[Giannis Patelis]

No, no, that only gave me two. Right.

[Spencer Newharth]

Two just now.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

Three.

[Spencer Newharth]

Three. Yanni wins anyway. Unless. Who was second? Close.

[Randall Williams]

Nice job, man.

[Spencer Newharth]

I guess maybe me. And so you got two points. Yanni's our winner. That was 11 out of 17 pickups. It's far less common to back into your parking spot at Me Eater if you drive an SUV or a car. And that 65% of backwards parkers is way, way above the national average. Studies show that that between 6% 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.

[Randall Williams]

They're way ahead of it.

[Spencer Newharth]

So at Meater HQ, it's 65% of the pickup drivers in China, 80, 88% of all drivers back into their spot. Wow. I'm with Corey. I think I figured out I'm, you know, probably no truck on that one. Yeah. But in meteater part parking lot, the pickup drivers, they're the ones who are backing into their spots.

[Giannis Patelis]

I wonder what they teach them in China. Like, 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 their belief in China as to why you should do that?

[Randall Williams]

For me, it really comes down to whether or not I'm texting actively. Right. It's a lot easier to pull straight in if I'm texting kids.

[Giannis Patelis]

He's making jokes again.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, I shouldn't joke about that. Serious.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yanni is going to stick around for one more segment and then he has to go.

[Giannis Patelis]

I am. Okay.

[Spencer Newharth]

Our Next segment is a hot tip off.

[Phil Taylor]

I'll do it.

[Giannis Patelis]

Does he not like this one or what?

[Randall Williams]

He just doesn't want to play it six times today.

[Giannis Patelis]

Phil, your jingles are gonna be the best part of this entire six hour long show.

[Phil Taylor]

That's very kind and completely untrue. But that's the one. Just because we do hot tip offs almost every week and it's the most grading kind of intense drop that I have. You know, I like Chapel Ron, but.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, you apologize to Chapel Ron.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

See those hot hurts, Phil.

[Phil Taylor]

Here we go. See if I can actually do it correctly this time. Colin Hartford.

[Randall Williams]

What's going on, meat eater crew? Today I've got a hot tip coming at you from Missoula, Montana. Hell yeah. My name is Colin Hartford. Today we're talking about keeping our meat good when 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, whatever you want to call it, has my meat. In this case, it's sausage. The bottom one has a layer of ice, just a bag of ice that we crunch up, throw on the bottom, have a two bucket system. It's kind of like a double boiler, but it keeps everything cold, keeps all your meat from getting warm in between the freezer, the grinder and the actual finished product. Keeps everything cold, keeps everything better. Also strap some kind of ice pack to your grinder. I'll use electrical tape or painters tape, whatever you got, tape, ice pack, ice block, whatever you've got onto your grinder. It'll help keep that system colder, keep it lasting for longer. Keep at it,

[Phil Taylor]

Patterson.

[Spencer Newharth]

Hey, this is Cale Patterson from Colorado Springs and this is my hot tip. Hopefully it makes it in before radio Live ends.

[Phil Taylor]

That'll be a sad day.

[Spencer Newharth]

Shout out to Phil for all the jingles. So my hot 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. So hope. Hope that helps somebody.

[Giannis Patelis]

All right, Philip, solid hot tips there.

[Spencer Newharth]

Phil 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. Yanni, before you leave, who are you voting? For the ice tote trick or the bread in the grinder.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yanni, 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.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Giannis Patelis]

So I'm gonna go with number two.

[Spencer Newharth]

Agree. That gets my vote as well. Corey, which one are you picking?

[Randall Williams]

Gotta keep your meat cold and go, Grizz.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. He's giving it to Colin for the ice tote trick. Maxwell, do you have an opinion?

[Randall Williams]

Number two.

[Spencer Newharth]

Number two. He likes the bread or ice in the grind.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, I've actually used that and it works phenomenal.

[Spencer Newharth]

Phil, is it a close?

[Phil Taylor]

It is a close one. So if you are watching currently and you have not voted, get in there and let your voice be heard.

[Spencer Newharth]

Alex, next time you grind meat, are you going to use either one of those hot, hot tips?

[Randall Williams]

Number two.

[Spencer Newharth]

Number two. He's also voting for the ice or bread in the grinder. Jake, what do you think?

[Phil Taylor]

I mean, I like number one better, but to Giannis's point, I think I'll

[Spencer Newharth]

actually use number two. Okay, Randall, who did not see the hot tips, would you like to give an opinion?

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

I think what's most important is what the chat thinks.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. Okay, Phil, let's wrap up the voting in the chat.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

They're still chatting out there, guys.

[Phil Taylor]

It is getting closer. Spencer, I know we're running long, but it's the last episode.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's the last episode.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

After this. Phil, before you wrap up the poll, would you like to check in on the tattooers? What do you think?

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah. Jake. Yeah? If you want to head out there and roll, we'll cut to you in a sec.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, so we are going to wrap up voting here shortly. We will check in on the tattoos and we'll do some listener feedback.

[Giannis Patelis]

Hey, can I just say bye?

[Spencer Newharth]

Say bye. Yes, please.

[Randall Williams]

Appreciate it. Ladies and gentlemen, Giannis Patelis.

[Phil Taylor]

Thank you, Yannis.

[Giannis Patelis]

Captaining this ship on its final journey.

[Randall Williams]

Straight to the bottom of the ocean.

[Giannis Patelis]

Straight to the bottom. It's been a fun run.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Had a lot of laughs.

[Giannis Patelis]

We've had some laughs. And the thing is, even though we're sunsetting this one, we're also giving birth to a new one. And I believe that at least the three of us, we're going to continue to have a lot of laughs. The rest of these guys, you guys better bring your humor game a little bit more. But three of us, we're gonna keep laughing also.

[Phil Taylor]

Also, Max, I don't know. I don't know if you heard, but your heart was kind of dry.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

No. All right, ending the poll. And the winner with only 53% of the vote is Kale. With the bread in the grinder.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yanni is leaving, ladies and gentlemen. He's gonna give us one animal call before he leaves, though. What do you got for us, Yanni? Oh, wow.

[Phil Taylor]

So sorry for anyone listening live at

[Randall Williams]

home, you probably just wrecked someone's car on the highway.

[Spencer Newharth]

Multiple cars. Multiple cars. Hey, eat this last heart, potentially.

[Randall Williams]

I'm good.

[Spencer Newharth]

I'll eat it. Okay, we're gonna get an update on the tattooing. Take us later live to the room next door, Phil.

[Phil Taylor]

Let's see how it's going over there.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, we have Jen.

[Phil Taylor]

Jen in the chair. How are you, Jen? Jen, I don't know if our audience has met you. Have you been on trivia? No.

[Randall Williams]

There's Johnny.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay, Jen, why don't you introduce yourself and let us know what you do here at Meat Eater.

[Randall Williams]

Hi, I'm Jen and I'm the events and marketing operations coordinator here.

[Phil Taylor]

Right on. Looks like we got the famous hq. Internet is.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, no.

[Phil Taylor]

Cutting out on. Oh, we're back.

[Giannis Patelis]

We are.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, no.

[Spencer Newharth]

Jen, what tattoo are you getting today?

[Randall Williams]

I am going to get a little vine with three little ladybugs to represent my daughters.

[Phil Taylor]

Love it. I like it.

[Spencer Newharth]

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.

[Phil Taylor]

Love it.

[Spencer Newharth]

You got employed here just at the right time to be able to. To get this frat free tattoo on the books.

[Phil Taylor]

Cool.

[Spencer Newharth]

I know.

[Phil Taylor]

It's perfect.

[Randall Williams]

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.

[Spencer Newharth]

Let's talk to our tattoo artist for a second. Baker. Is that. That's his name, right?

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Correct, Baker. Who has handled the tattoo the best so far?

[Phil Taylor]

Boone? Hard to say.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, okay.

[Phil Taylor]

You can remember their name was Brody.

[Randall Williams]

Being a little baby,

[Phil Taylor]

he did pretty good.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Phil Taylor]

I mean, I'll. I'll call him out because I was out there when we weren't live streaming. Brody at one point yelled, ow, it really hurts up there.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, I heard that, too. That is true. That is true. He did.

[Spencer Newharth]

It does really hurt.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay, cool. Thank you.

[Randall Williams]

Jen's like, please stop distracting this man as he does a permanent alteration to my skin.

[Phil Taylor]

All right, we'll let you go now. Thanks. Guys.

[Randall Williams]

Thanks, everybody.

[Spencer Newharth]

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?

[Phil Taylor]

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 meat poll answers. And so would we like to fit

[Spencer Newharth]

in the office tour shortly or do you want to see us?

[Phil Taylor]

I think we should do that. When I sit down in the chair, I think there might only be a couple people left before it's my turn. So we can do some other stuff. So Randall could do Movie club, but I know we've got a room full of people here, so I don't know if we want to.

[Spencer Newharth]

We could play the Price is Right. We could do a cameo from Phil. We could do the Movie Club. What do we think?

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, let's go ahead and do. We can do my cameo.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Phil Taylor]

And then if we. If we want to do prices right after that.

[Spencer Newharth]

That sounds good.

[Randall Williams]

It's perfect.

[Spencer Newharth]

Let's see how Phil spent his $100.

[Giannis Patelis]

Sure.

[Spencer Newharth]

Now, these were 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 they were just so happy they didn't. I'll show you mine if you show me yours. So it's not even a surprise for them, but it will be a surprise for me and everyone else in the studio. Let's see this.

[Phil Taylor]

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.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, okay.

[Phil Taylor]

So is. So show us this gentleman.

[Steven Rinella]

Hey, Radio Team Live.

[Phil Taylor]

Congratulations, you guys. This is Richard Karn.

[Randall Williams]

A Tool Time salute to you guys.

[Spencer Newharth]

Phil wants you to know that he

[Phil Taylor]

just feels like you did a bang up job. And I'll tell you what. I've never actually watched Meteor Radio live,

[Randall Williams]

but I heard it was pretty amazing.

[Phil Taylor]

And oh my gosh. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Spencer, you are an amazing game show co host.

[Randall Williams]

Wow.

[Phil Taylor]

Come on. Don't worry about what Steve says.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, he doesn't know.

[Phil Taylor]

I know.

[Randall Williams]

Survey says.

[Phil Taylor]

Anyway, congratulations you guys. My job done.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

Well, enjoy it.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

Wow. He's looking good. Phil, I just sent you an image in Slack that we should get to at some point. It's not that important.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, I. It's not important. But I mean, it's it's wonderful.

[Spencer Newharth]

So, Phil, how did you decide on him? And who were some of the folks that you decided not to. To buy on Cameo?

[Phil Taylor]

I mean, honestly, once he was. He was one of the first guys I saw and, you know, I was. I was a home improvement guy. He is my favorite Family Feud host, with all due respect to Louis Anderson and Steve Harvey.

[Spencer Newharth]

Richard Dawson, Richard Karn.

[Phil Taylor]

And also he was. He played Maya's dad on pen 15. And I thought he was incredible. And it was a super underrated performance. So just an underrated show in general.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, we love pen15.

[Phil Taylor]

You haven't seen pen15 on Hulu. And you grew up and you're about the same age as everyone in the this room. You should really watch it.

[Randall Williams]

That's great, Phil.

[Spencer Newharth]

Richard Dawson was a host.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, sorry, I thought. I thought you were. You were getting Richard Carnes name wrong.

[Spencer Newharth]

Ray Combs, Louis Anderson, Richard Karn, John o' Hurley and Steve.

[Phil Taylor]

John o', Hurley. You would know him from Seinfeld. He's like the big tall guy with the kind of the gray pompadour. I'm blanking on his character's name. And he was like Elaine's boss or something that He's.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, yeah, mister.

[Phil Taylor]

Is it Peterman?

[Randall Williams]

Mr. Peterman.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Phil Taylor]

But yeah, Richard Dawson.

[Randall Williams]

Hell of a good poll there, Phil. Hell of a good poll.

[Spencer Newharth]

Good cameo. Okay, moving on. Our next segment is the Price is Right.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, I realized I don't have the script up.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's okay. We'll just enjoy the music for a second. Everyone get their whiteboards in front.

[Phil Taylor]

Here it comes. From Bozeman, Montana, Meat Eater radio's most exciting 10 minutes. It's the final episode of Meat Eater Radio. Those prices rise. Randall Williams, come on down.

[Randall Williams]

Jake Burch, come on down.

[Phil Taylor]

Corey Calkins, come on down. Max Barda, you picked me. You can come on down as well. And I guess, Alex, you're here. You can come on down. You're the next five contestants on Meat Eater radios. The Price is Right. Now here's your host, Spencer New Heart.

[Spencer Newharth]

Thank you, Phil. This is our biggest game of Price is Right ever. We have five players in the room. It's going to be extra competitive. Now, this game is really simple. Phil is going to tell you about a product from the Meat eater universe, and you need to guess its price. The player 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 shot shout out from Phil. Yeah, maybe they'll just shout out themselves. That's what they'll do. Okay, there are three products up for bid today. Phil, get us started.

[Phil Taylor]

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. Decked out with. 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 controlled furnace. Oh yeah, and four ice holes. In case you forgot that this vehicle is for fishing.

[Spencer Newharth]

Thank you, Phil.

[Randall Williams]

This is one of the best things you do.

[Spencer Newharth]

This particular Snow Bear is a 2023 model that has 46 hours and 232 miles on it. It's available right now in Sisseton, South Dakota at Glacier 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?

[Randall Williams]

Yes, I have A couple times.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. Was it a successful trip? Did you catch some fish?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, no. It's always fun in the Snow bear. Must be nice. It's nice and warm and you're catching fish and you don't even.

[Spencer Newharth]

You don't even have to go outside. You don't. It lifts up and down.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, when you're fishing, lifts up, drive across the lake to the new spot, down. And that's tough. And you just relieve yourself in the hole.

[Spencer Newharth]

You can.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

And just drive to a new hole. Depending on number one. Number two.

[Spencer Newharth]

Spencer, what year did you say it was? 20, 23, 46 hours. 46 hours, 232 miles. And it is a snow bear XP.

[Randall Williams]

You can't go over it. My father in law does all.

[Spencer Newharth]

Well, most of his guiding out of one of these. Really? Does he. Does he own the thing? Yes.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh.

[Spencer Newharth]

I mean he. Oh. Are you gonna inherit that someday, Max? Not good for you.

[Randall Williams]

Not when I live in Montana.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, okay. Yeah. Maybe Max will be the owner of a snow Bear someday. Again, you cannot go over with your guess. Is everybody ready? Cory is making a funny face at random.

[Randall Williams]

Cory's playing the game here. Okay. Cory's got going low. Well, you're going a little high. I don't know.

[Spencer Newharth]

You ready?

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have Randall saying $102,999. Towley says 29,000. Alex says 24,500 Maximus says 43,999. Jake says 40,000.

[Phil Taylor]

That's pretty close.

[Spencer Newharth]

The correct answer is $123,000.

[Randall Williams]

You guys are idiots. You weren't even close. I didn't think that satellite tv Max, are you kidding me?

[Spencer Newharth]

Randall was the only one who went six figures. So he is going to get that.

[Randall Williams]

There's not a doubt in my mind that the thing's six figures. Have you seen the price of just a pickup truck these days?

[Spencer Newharth]

That's the most expensive Snow bear for sale at Glacial Lake Snow Bear. The cheapest is a 2014 snowbeartl which is 52,000. So even if we gave you a model that was nine years older and a lesser setup, 52,000 still cost you. So Randall gets that first point. Well earned, Phil. How'd the chat do there?

[Phil Taylor]

They all did.

[Spencer Newharth]

I see cheaters.

[Phil Taylor]

I think every person got it right on the money.

[Randall Williams]

They did great. Brent Reeves is in the chat.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, welcome, Brent.

[Giannis Patelis]

We're glad you're here.

[Randall Williams]

That's a good guy.

[Spencer Newharth]

That is a good.

[Randall Williams]

That's a heck of a good guy.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay Phil, how about item number two?

[Phil Taylor]

How about it? Our next item up for bid is a cameo from Babe Winkelman. Instead of spending your hard earned cameo dollars on a message from Jim Shockey or slock master Tim Wells, hire the Babe Winkleman. Does your high school senior need some some words of encouragement on graduation day? Or maybe your bachelorette party could use a pre game pep talk.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

Or did your buddy John, who likes to fish Lake Erie, 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 Babe's cameo page that promotes his services and I'll pull that up here.

[Spencer Newharth]

Buckle in. We've got a three minute video now coming from Babe Winkleman. This is what he has on the front page of his cameo for why you should buy Babe Winkleman Winkleman's cameo did it.

[Phil Taylor]

Pull up the yeah, here it is.

[Randall Williams]

Oh he looks great. Hello Dan, this is Babe 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 Erie. You probably didn't know that I filmed the first show ever on Lake Erie. I didn't know that and put it out back years ago and it was incredible. And I mean, it just. I filmed so many different places in Lake Erie over the years. From Buffalo, New York down to Dunkirk, all the way around, even some on the Ontario side, plus the Maumee river and the. I was the guy 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, Mr. It's me. I've had a passion since I turned five years of age. And we had. My dad just bought a new farm and it had a creek running through it and I was standing on the bridge looking into the water. I couldn't. I'd 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 swim into a big swirling amount of water, an eddy. I didn't know what an eddy was at the time.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's only half over and it was really cool.

[Randall Williams]

And I had my dad fix me up with a rod reel and he made me dig some worms. I got him on there and caught 15 big striped suckers which we. 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 in sunrises and hell yeah, I. 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 heart 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.

[Spencer Newharth]

You.

[Randall Williams]

There's nothing left for of you. All of us can.

[Phil Taylor]

He was about to say something else.

[Randall Williams]

You can just sit on the bank and throw a bobber out and watch it once in a while and that's fine too. Particularly if you know that there's. You got a good chance of getting a bite there. That helps a lot. I'm 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. Wow.

[Spencer Newharth]

What's in the cup, Babe? Hell yeah. Babe Winkleman. What do you got, Randall?

[Randall Williams]

I. I mean, like, it got serious when you found out that the guy had a medical issue. But up until then, Phil had 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 to not stop fishing. Which is for a good reason. But you kind of took a turn there for me.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, it was a plot twist. Two minutes in his video. So Babe says on his cameo page he likes to help celebrate weddings, anniversaries and retirements. That's the cameo big three. So what does it cost to get a personalized video just like that from the Babe Winkleman?

[Randall Williams]

Have you guys ever done a cameo request?

[Spencer Newharth]

No.

[Phil Taylor]

No.

[Spencer Newharth]

Never.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, I know these three have in this last week. Yeah, I got.

[Spencer Newharth]

We have.

[Randall Williams]

I got to ask. How much was Santa? $100.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's worth it, right?

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Money well spent.

[Randall Williams]

I'm going to just send that Santa letters. Hundred dollar letters every now and then.

[Spencer Newharth]

Well, you're on the naughty list. So does everybody have an answer? For what it costs to do a Babe Winkleman cameo? Go ahead and reveal your answers. Randall says $240. Cory says 139.99. Alex says 400. Maximus says 79.99. Jake says $150. The correct answer. This is incredible. It's $80, max. One penny off.

[Randall Williams]

What a bargain.

[Spencer Newharth]

The correct answer.

[Randall Williams]

I know that I would have gotten Babe.

[Spencer Newharth]

I got though, Max.

[Randall Williams]

A little shady.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. Did you cheat, Max? Did it?

[Randall Williams]

What happens in price rating if you get it right on the.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, this Bells and whistles. What does happen, Phil?

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, man, I haven't watched in years. I'm trying to get like. I think you. I think you win the.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, you win the thing. You win the showcase.

[Phil Taylor]

I don't. I don't remember.

[Randall Williams]

What's the third item only we had?

[Phil Taylor]

You get an extra thousand dollars or something like that.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. If only we had computers to figure this out. In the meantime, let's do our third and final item ever from meat eaters prices. Right?

[Randall Williams]

Put it like that.

[Phil Taylor]

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 rainforest to get chat GPT to produce this answer. But it was worth it. Because maybe media to 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.

[Spencer Newharth]

Wow.

[Randall Williams]

So just one of everything.

[Spencer Newharth]

Every single item. That's right. Touching words from there. I don't even 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? Phil was right. If you have an exact bid, 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 has 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 nailing it like that.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, should be dumb.

[Phil Taylor]

You know, 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 coors lights in him, and I can totally see it.

[Spencer Newharth]

He becomes the randomal at that point.

[Randall Williams]

That's eight hot dogs, Phil.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, my apologies.

[Giannis Patelis]

Oh.

[Spencer Newharth]

Every single item from Bass Pro's website. Is everybody ready? Who has a point so far? Max has a point and Randall has a point. If you all tie though, Max is going to be the victor since he was one penny off of his correct.

[Phil Taylor]

And I will say I don't get

[Spencer Newharth]

to win a lot.

[Phil Taylor]

You know, someone in the chat, one of the first ones I just, I happened to see was pretty dang close. So I'm gonna. I'm gonna call you out. Okay? You did pretty, pretty good.

[Spencer Newharth]

Go ahead and reveal your answers. We have have Randall saying $30 million. 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 gives Jake the point. He had 750,000. But Max is the winner because his correct answer back for Babe Winkleman was just a penny off.

[Phil Taylor]

See, now I'm kicking myself cuz I

[Spencer Newharth]

wrote 80 and then erased it.

[Randall Williams]

150. Wow.

[Spencer Newharth]

What was your answer just now? 750,000. That is roughly 32,000 items for an average price of $250 per item. Well done, Max. And thanks for playing along. Everybody, remember, help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed and neutered. Phil, who in the chat did well.

[Phil Taylor]

Vasquez guessed 7.86, which. And he was one of the first people to guess.

[Randall Williams]

That's sick.

[Phil Taylor]

That was pretty close.

[Randall Williams]

Good job, Steven.

[Spencer Newharth]

7.86. Phil, what would you like to do next? Should we do the next hot tip off that we have?

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, let me just pull up the video here because I don't have it ready.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. Our next segment is hot tip off. Phil's not going to play the sound this time.

[Randall Williams]

Do a hot tip.

[Spencer Newharth]

H O T T I P R.

[Randall Williams]

Let's all do a hot tip off.

[Spencer Newharth]

All right, Hot tip off. Who do we have today, Phil?

[Phil Taylor]

Steven Lock,

[Randall Williams]

Even lock. Hey, media live crews, it's Stephen Lock coming to you from the eastern shore of Virginia. And I got a hot tip for all the dog owners out there.

[Phil Taylor]

So I got me a nice old

[Randall Williams]

dough the other day, and I'm sitting here processing it out. And as you're trimming up your back strap or your hams or whatever, you're left with all these little trimmings and silver skinny bits. I know y', all, like myself, don't

[Spencer Newharth]

like to waste anything.

[Randall Williams]

So these are valuable. You take them, you lay them out on a sheet pan. You can use dehydrator or throw them into, like an air fryer setting on your oven and dehydrate them out and it turns into great little dog treats. Saves you money. It uses all your little trimmings. Less waste on your deer. And yeah, it's a hot tip. Thanks.

[Spencer Newharth]

Like it? They're fading.

[Giannis Patelis]

Hot tip of the day.

[Spencer Newharth]

If you got a dog that loves to retrieve but is likes to do

[Phil Taylor]

their victory laps, you know, run around

[Giannis Patelis]

you a couple times.

[Phil Taylor]

What I like to do is string up a rope.

[Giannis Patelis]

You know, this one's fairly long.

[Phil Taylor]

We've been working on longer retrieves, leash, carabiner clip.

[Giannis Patelis]

So what this allows you to do

[Randall Williams]

is funnel them towards you no matter

[Giannis Patelis]

how bad they want to take that victory lap to the right or the left.

[Phil Taylor]

Ready, Ranger?

[Giannis Patelis]

So there he goes. It's great for older dogs that have

[Spencer Newharth]

outgrew that puppy in the hallway. So here you go.

[Giannis Patelis]

Always picks it up. Now he's forced to come back towards me. He wants to break to the right, but can't.

[Phil Taylor]

Good boy, Ranger.

[Spencer Newharth]

Good boy.

[Giannis Patelis]

There we go.

[Randall Williams]

Hot tip of the day, man. Tough call, eh?

[Phil Taylor]

Dog theme there.

[Spencer Newharth]

Phil 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 gonna give you my vote here. That means you get Two votes in the room. Do you like the dog treat scraps or the dogs zip line?

[Randall Williams]

I like the dog treats.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, can you tell us more?

[Randall Williams]

I think I like the idea for number two.

[Spencer Newharth]

It has a good like premise behind it, but I don't think it's practical in all situations.

[Randall Williams]

So yeah, I'm gonna go with number one.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. Max says number one. Any, any other opinions in the room?

[Phil Taylor]

I mean Steven gets my vote.

[Spencer Newharth]

Just for the accent was.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, I like this energy. Good vibes that guy. Yeah, we need a little bit of energy in here, huh?

[Steven Rinella]

The.

[Randall Williams]

It's getting sleepy in here.

[Phil Taylor]

Warm.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, it is very warm.

[Phil Taylor]

Randall has to host an office tour for about 30 minutes. Very coming up soon.

[Randall Williams]

So I'm going to get some steps in. Yeah, the dog thing, I like it. It seems a little,

[Spencer Newharth]

I don't know, aspirational.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, I, I've always just like when we had a dog that wouldn't bring it back and would just play keep away, 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.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

It just seems easier. But I like that.

[Spencer Newharth]

I would have voted for the dog zip line, but Max, Max has my vote and he says dog.

[Randall Williams]

Visually it's very interesting.

[Spencer Newharth]

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 like it didn't really matter about the straight line.

[Randall Williams]

Like she came back and went to that kennel, so. Or that placeboard or at my side at heel. So yeah, gotta go with the thriftiness

[Spencer Newharth]

of salvaging all your meat.

[Randall Williams]

Every other animal I kill, I try and do that, but I ended up just throwing the wads of meat in the freezer and then just then I get lazy and end up tossing that. A year and a half later, I'll grind the scraps into dog food. Sure. And then boil it and then just

[Spencer Newharth]

have a big bag of boiled meat. Before we, before we wrap up the polling. Our next thing is going to be some listener feedback. And then after that, Randall, if you're ready, we're going to do an office tour.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, might as well.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. Okay. Phil, how is the, the voting going?

[Phil Taylor]

It is. This is the closest contest so far. It is, it's 50, 50 right now. So if you have not voted, we'll give you another 30 seconds.

[Spencer Newharth]

Somebody break the tie. We can't give out another $100 gift card today.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, this whole thing. Thing will just collapse.

[Phil Taylor]

The rock solid foundation will crumble.

[Spencer Newharth]

Phil, once that tie is broken, you end that pulling and tell us who gets the gift card.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay?

[Randall Williams]

Come on.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, Jesus. It. It was. It was. It was broken, and then it came back together.

[Randall Williams]

Oh.

[Phil Taylor]

So I don't know who won. Okay, we're live.

[Randall Williams]

Nobody gets a gift card. Everybody gets a gift card. Nobody gets.

[Spencer Newharth]

Randall gets the gift card, I guess. Randall, what are you going to spend that gift card on at the meat eater store?

[Randall Williams]

Another beaver hoodie, huh?

[Spencer Newharth]

Meat snacks.

[Randall Williams]

You know, I like that. I like that brown hat I just got.

[Phil Taylor]

So someone.

[Randall Williams]

Or more of those brown hat.

[Phil Taylor]

So the poll ended at 50. 50. And someone asked, hey, how could 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.

[Spencer Newharth]

Let's just give they Both get a

[Phil Taylor]

$100, you can make it to Meat Eater HQ in the next 45 minutes. You'll get a tattoo as well.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's how we're breaking the tie. Each one of them is getting a $100 meat eater gift card today. I think we have a couple hot tip offs left before. That's it for Meat Eater radio.

[Phil Taylor]

I believe we have one more hot tip off. I think that was number five.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. All right, Phil, let's do some listener feedback.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, goodness. I have to actually read the chat now. Why don't you guys talk about something until I find.

[Randall Williams]

Phil, just a quick question. Should I use the same link that I got yesterday for our tour?

[Phil Taylor]

No, it will be a different link, and I will send that. Oh, I will send that to you soon.

[Randall Williams]

But also, I didn't mean to add somebody to your plate.

[Phil Taylor]

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?

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, let's do this.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay. Randall, do you want to set this up?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. So. So sweet. Chili. Chili is on the scene in downtown Bozeman, Montana. I actually don't want to ruin the surprise. Chili, can you hear me? Yes, Yes, I can hear you. Get out of that nasty weather, Make a dynamic entry into the meat eater store, please, and find Alex Zimmer. The store boys have been live streaming this all day. We didn't give them any. Heads up.

[Steven Rinella]

Up.

[Randall Williams]

And now, our faithful Jack of all Trades. Austin. Chili, Brad. Oh, yeah. Store boys live on Radio Live. Oh, what up, Big John? Oh, yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Hey, happy birthday, John.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, is it your birthday today?

[Spencer Newharth]

A couple days ago.

[Randall Williams]

Couple days ago? Max is wrong. Couple days ago. Yeah. You look great. How old are you?

[Phil Taylor]

I am 28 now.

[Randall Williams]

28, man. God, be nice to be 28 again. Chili, head on back there. Where's Alex? Where's Alex Zimmer, store manager extraordinaire. We got. We got Willow here. Oh, yeah, that's a good dog. Here's the Meat eater store. I don't think Alec is here. Oh, no, he's not there. Who's managing this place? Alec?

[Spencer Newharth]

The dog is Kate.

[Randall Williams]

Malik, is m I n. Is Kate there? Nobody's here. It's just John and Stefan. They're not nobodies. Go talk to them.

[Spencer Newharth]

I saw one of the store boys was getting a tattoo.

[Randall Williams]

Chili next door. Let's bring us back to the front here. John, you're going to be the store manager. Stand in here. This is Randall Williams, Media 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. All 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

[Spencer Newharth]

has been just a smidge unhinged and

[Phil Taylor]

we've had a lot of people walk

[Spencer Newharth]

by the TV and like stop in

[Randall Williams]

their tracks and like tune in to

[Phil Taylor]

random subjects that we've been having covering. But it's been very entertaining. We've been loving it. We've been laughing.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. What's. What's your favorite episode of Meat Eater Radio Live from like the first half of its run, like early 2025, late 2024.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, boy.

[Phil Taylor]

I don't even know if I can remember an episode.

[Randall Williams]

Surely you can remember one episode.

[Phil Taylor]

Fake Fan.

[Randall Williams]

They're all so memorable. He might have been working while he was watching.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, yeah, a lot.

[Spencer Newharth]

A lot of them.

[Phil Taylor]

I might not even have been working.

[Randall Williams]

That's okay, John. Hey, let me ask you another question. 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 Radio Live?

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, man, that's a tough question. Well, me, of course.

[Spencer Newharth]

Him.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, come on. Come on down.

[Giannis Patelis]

We got.

[Randall Williams]

We love it. Good energy. I didn't even see him. That's a good guy right there. All you guys are Good guys. Hey, so who would you like? I mean, other than yourself? You guys are all welcome. When Alec gets back to leave him there and come down to the studio. Any favorite segments from Radio Live? You guys have any? I mean is it. What is the show meant to you?

[Phil Taylor]

Watching Randall Hot dogs is pretty cool too.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, we gotta get Pat Durkin in the store. Oh, we should do a. We should do a Pat Durkin. A Pat Durkin night at the meat eater store. Guys, busy today. A lot of foot traffic. It's snowy outside. Not too much.

[Giannis Patelis]

There's a couple people in here shopping.

[Randall Williams]

We should go interview them. What's the Randall hot dog count up to? It's just eight. We ran out.

[Phil Taylor]

Well, we can doordash tomorrow.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, well, I don't know. It's probably not good for me.

[Spencer Newharth]

Who. Who's actually in charge in there?

[Phil Taylor]

I guess

[Randall Williams]

Johnny driving over the past night roads look a little tough out there.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, it'll be interesting.

[Phil Taylor]

I'll see you on the side of the road.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

See in the ditch.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. I'll see you in the ditch later. I might fall asleep behind the wheel. Yeah. I didn't really think through how we'd end this segment. So if you guys have any final thoughts for a Radio Live audience just. Or maybe what the show's meant to you, you can feel free to share that. That now. It's been great. The meat eater Radio Live has always been great background audio for.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Do you find it helps sales or hurt sales? It definitely like gives the wives and kids something to do. That's a great answer.

[Phil Taylor]

Sales more than anything I would say. Oh, kids and the wives.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's always good for the shopping.

[Randall Williams]

Well, yeah, you guys are. You guys are naturals here. That's a great answer.

[Spencer Newharth]

I'm glad we had Chili driving over there just for this.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Hey, Chili, sorry about that. We appreciate your. Your real team player. Drive safe on the roads and maybe we'll see at the cannery later. Yeah, see you boys at the can. All right. Take care, boys. Bye, Chili.

[Spencer Newharth]

Thanks, Jilly.

[Randall Williams]

Man, that's a bunch of good guys that work at the store.

[Spencer Newharth]

If. If Randall were. Were you at top three list coming later, if he were to do his top three favorite humans, I think all three would be stored store boys.

[Randall Williams]

Oh yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

I love it.

[Randall Williams]

They make me feel young.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. They kind of. They need a reality show.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's just like especially.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, for sure.

[Spencer Newharth]

Especially once. Especially at the house.

[Randall Williams]

Just move on.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. Like a 247 reality show, you know, from the Time.

[Randall Williams]

Store boy's house is cool. Yeah, yeah, they've got a lot of aquariums and terrariums.

[Spencer Newharth]

The other day, so I'm neighbors with them sort of. The other day I was like with

[Randall Williams]

my wife folding laundry in our master bedroom. Something that's never occurred in their house.

[Spencer Newharth]

No, it was at our house.

[Randall Williams]

And like we hear this just loud,

[Spencer Newharth]

obnoxious something just cruising down the street

[Randall Williams]

and all of a sudden it's in our driveway.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's Kate on his new to him motorcycle. It's like a 1980 motorcycle. Like a tricycle. But yeah, it was just obnoxious.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, it's great. A three wheeler. Cade stored a boat at my house for like 10 days. It was in rough shape.

[Spencer Newharth]

Hiding it from someone?

[Randall Williams]

No, it's a weird amount of time. It was like a boat that was in his family and he was going to fix it up, but then it. He needed someplace to store it before he could get it to like his dad's place or something. I don't really remember, but I just get it. And then one time he texted me. He's like, hey, we just like messed up my truck on Livingston Peak. Do you have a bunch of wire that we can use to reattach my muffler? So just, you know, there's, there's like a lot of happiness and joy in this world that comes from just young dudes doing. Doing interesting stuff.

[Phil Taylor]

We got someone in the chat saying that there is Taco Bell on route to the hq.

[Randall Williams]

Oh my God. Who was that? Who said that?

[Phil Taylor]

That was Colagander.

[Randall Williams]

Coligander. Your real one.

[Spencer Newharth]

Randall, better do attention.

[Randall Williams]

Your finger in the skull. Oh my goodness gracious.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. Our celebration there was because her profile picture on YouTube is her in the meat eater store hanging with the store boys.

[Randall Williams]

That's awesome. That's awesome. Yeah. Alec, man, you missed your window. Sorry, buddy.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, okay, really quick. I'm gonna make a new audio file for the podcast version. YouTube will not be affected in any way.

[Randall Williams]

I'll run upstairs.

[Spencer Newharth]

My desk.

[Randall Williams]

Are you sure about that? It's a meteor radio live seat couch.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, we're not doing listener feedback right now. I didn't use all $100 of my cameo budget on Santa. In fact, I bought a second cameo. This next cameo you're going to see is a witch from Canada who is predicting the future of the next meat eater podcast. So Phil, please play that cameo for us. Good morning, my friends, Phil, Randall and Spencer.

[Randall Williams]

Sir, I want to start off by

[Spencer Newharth]

thanking you so much for your purchase.

[Randall Williams]

It is Literally because of people like

[Spencer Newharth]

you guys that support my channel, that support my cameo, that support my tick

[Randall Williams]

tock, that I can do what I do.

[Spencer Newharth]

So I just wanted to take a small 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.

[Randall Williams]

I like that.

[Spencer Newharth]

Please advice and predictions for their new show.

[Randall Williams]

Could you also give advice to fans

[Spencer Newharth]

who are sad that their old show is done?

[Randall Williams]

All right, so the first thing I'm going to say is I'm a brutally honest reader.

[Spencer Newharth]

I tell people they're not going to make the NHL every day.

[Randall Williams]

I literally do.

[Spencer Newharth]

Let's have a look.

[Randall Williams]

Yes, this is actually going to work.

[Spencer Newharth]

I'm seeing that you guys are going to start the podcast. Probably the first four to five months,

[Randall Williams]

it's going to feel like if it's dragging. So I'm going to warn you guys

[Spencer Newharth]

that the first four to five months,

[Randall Williams]

it's not going to be exactly where

[Spencer Newharth]

you want it to be.

[Randall Williams]

I don't want you to panic though, because it also applies the last four to five hours sort of Mark, someone

[Spencer Newharth]

discovers you, you are going to be talked about on some kind of a show. And that's going to make a big difference because whoever this person is, is highly influential and is going to give you guys a really cool voice. You guys are literally going to wake up Steve Brunello.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. Thousands of people to tuning in more

[Spencer Newharth]

and it's going to feel pro. Quite incredible. I really think that you guys have a crack at this. I think if you guys really push through, because the first like six months

[Randall Williams]

might be a little rougher than you thought.

[Spencer Newharth]

But I'm sure you guys can really, really be popular. You guys can 100 show up, you

[Randall Williams]

know, in the top podcast.

[Spencer Newharth]

I think you guys are gonna win awards for this.

[Randall Williams]

Friend of the podcast is going to

[Spencer Newharth]

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

[Randall Williams]

the good strategic pivot.

[Spencer Newharth]

I honestly think that you guys are going to be successful and doing it

[Randall Williams]

for a really long time.

[Spencer Newharth]

She's a suit. I see that this podcast becoming something very, very 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 again.

[Randall Williams]

Those are the same cards.

[Spencer Newharth]

This is literally going to blow Your

[Randall Williams]

mind, if you can give them the

[Spencer Newharth]

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 pure magic and bliss. So I am telling you guys now, like, I literally tell people they're not going to be successful.

[Randall Williams]

I really think you guys are sitting on something. You guys have to put the work in. You guys actually have to push through.

[Spencer Newharth]

But it's going to be really successful.

[Randall Williams]

And honestly, you guys are going to

[Spencer Newharth]

be getting major brand deals because of it.

[Phil Taylor]

Can am.

[Randall Williams]

Dairy Queen. Can not.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, how much was that? Sophie the Canadian Witch was the. I don't remember the whole breakdown of my budget, but they were about 50. 50.

[Phil Taylor]

That was.

[Randall Williams]

That was. And Spencer, you can explain where the origins of that are.

[Spencer Newharth]

The origins of that.

[Randall Williams]

Well, your desire to have.

[Spencer Newharth]

If this show 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, Pennsylvania, Colorado. I think those are four of them. And 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 Media to Radio Live didn't make it long enough, so we had to, you know, spend part of our cameo budget on Sophie the Canadian Witch. So she. 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 and just keep hammering.

[Randall Williams]

I like that she was insistent that she tells most people they won't succeed.

[Spencer Newharth]

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.

[Randall Williams]

How many witches or tarot card readers are there on cameo?

[Spencer Newharth]

So there's like a bottom of the barrel cameo, like their categories, like under $500, under 250. 50 under. There's a category under 25.

[Randall Williams]

Randall Williams.

[Spencer Newharth]

That is where Sophie the Canadian Witch was at.

[Randall Williams]

You ought to think about that. Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

All right, Phil, let's do some Lister feedback for real. And then Randall is going to give you guys the office tour of your dreams. Max, Alex, thank you guys for joining us. You can stick around if you want for the. The office tour or you're welcome to go.

[Phil Taylor]

I gotta do some dishes.

[Spencer Newharth]

I gotta do some work. If we. Taco Bell be here any minute.

[Randall Williams]

This is is work.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. Randall will catch up with you a little bit on his office.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

I'll see you in my office.

[Randall Williams]

See on the. See 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.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

It's like they get a text. That's like one of those sort of. It's like a antivirus warning. If you do not pay $39 now a video of Randall will show up on your phone. That could be wild. I could make literally tens of dollars.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

All right, Phil, what do you got?

[Phil Taylor]

This is from Scrub Life. Danny, will we ever see another spouse trivia episode? It was up there with one of my favorite for one of my favorite episodes of all time.

[Spencer Newharth]

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 here. His wife will be here. Randall's wife will be here. My wife will be here. 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 a heavy bag.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, my God. I hope you're seeing.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, there's more Dairy Queens.

[Spencer Newharth]

More Baja Blasts. Okay.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, you're a hero.

[Spencer Newharth]

Wow. Is something floating at the top of that drink?

[Randall Williams]

Oh, these are dilly bars.

[Spencer Newharth]

There is something floating at the top of the. What is happening there?

[Randall Williams]

No marshmallows.

[Phil Taylor]

One of those weird, effed up Taco Bell seasonal drinks where they put like, candy in their soda.

[Spencer Newharth]

What is it, Philly?

[Phil Taylor]

I have no idea.

[Spencer Newharth]

More fan ordered doordash has just arrived. We thank you.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, there's only one dog. That's good.

[Spencer Newharth]

Should we get those ice creams in the freezer or somebody gonna take one right now?

[Randall Williams]

Probably toss them in the freezer for now.

[Spencer Newharth]

Hey, Alex, can we send the ice cream with you? And then Phil has some. Some more listener feedback again.

[Randall Williams]

Ice cream bars with movie club churros.

[Spencer Newharth]

The spouse episode is coming in about two months from now.

[Randall Williams]

Pass them down.

[Phil Taylor]

Cool. I'm just gonna start grabbing ones that I see there's very. It's a very wide filter here. The dubster says. Hey, friends, have 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?

[Spencer Newharth]

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?

[Randall Williams]

I mean, I've started campfires in the

[Spencer Newharth]

woods and thought about it like, oh,

[Randall Williams]

maybe this will help me out. But never, like, you know, intentionally, like, hovering over a fire to mask my scent. But I honestly, personally think it would help. Yeah. Make you smell less of a human, more like a burnt tree. It's definitely occurred to me, like, when I am sitting around a fire after I've been sweating all day, like, this probably is a good thing, but it's not a. It's not a strategy that I do actively.

[Spencer Newharth]

What else you got, Phil?

[Phil Taylor]

Let's see. Seth. Seth Stutz or Seth Stutes says, holy crap. Still live streaming. Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Hell yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Seth.

[Spencer Newharth]

We have hours left.

[Randall Williams]

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.

[Spencer Newharth]

And I would say we are going at least an hour over today.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, my God. Yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

Someone asked if all the store boys live together. The answer is yes.

[Randall Williams]

Well, a good number of them. There's like a healthy. There's a quorum.

[Spencer Newharth]

I think they rotate in and out a little bit.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. Sometimes, like, they go to guide somewhere. Somewhere else.

[Phil Taylor]

Randall, what's the best hot dog to beer ratio? It's from Isaac.

[Randall Williams]

That's a good question.

[Spencer Newharth]

Two to one.

[Phil Taylor]

Two beers to one dog or two dogs?

[Randall Williams]

It's tough. I mean, because most at a ball

[Spencer Newharth]

game say you're at a ball game.

[Randall Williams]

I mean, if you go to, like a snack bar, you get one beer and two hot dogs.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

And then. And 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. Have you? I've always wanted to do that.

[Spencer Newharth]

That means. What does it mean, Randall?

[Randall Williams]

Nine beers, nine dogs, and nine innings. And if I were a smarter man, I would have done it before they did the pitch clock.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Because back in the day, I feel like it would have been much easier. Now it's like a real tidy, whatever, two and a half hours or something.

[Spencer Newharth]

A couple summers ago, Randall was going to a minor league baseball game, and he had said beforehand that he might try the nine nine nine challenge then. And the boon of it was that his wife wasn't going to be there.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Maybe he can't do that. While Sydney's in attendance.

[Randall Williams]

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 was 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 thing to do. I know it's not good. You don't think she's going to go get the ninth dog and beer for you? No, I don't think she'd be cheering for me and I. She shouldn't. Let's be honest here. Let's be honest here. But, yeah, I think when I went to the BHA rendezvous, there was a Missoula Paddleheads slash Osprey game that weekend.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's going to happen someday, Randall. You're going to go throughout a first and then after that they're going to present you with the nine and nine.

[Randall Williams]

That'd be great.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

What else you got, Phil?

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah. We have Nate saying who thinks Randall needs to get on cameo.

[Spencer Newharth]

Exactly. Yep.

[Randall Williams]

Did anybody say yes?

[Phil Taylor]

No.

[Spencer Newharth]

I mean, Corey.

[Randall Williams]

It might be a. That might be a. He's just. He's just asking if anybody thinks this is a good idea.

[Spencer Newharth]

You know what your bit should be? You should read tarot cards without any practice.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Just make a guess.

[Randall Williams]

I mean, would it make a difference?

[Spencer Newharth]

You tell people like, you know, normally I've got to tell a lot of hockey players that they're not going to make in the NHL.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. I don't.

[Spencer Newharth]

But I believe in you.

[Randall Williams]

I don't know what demographic would go for Randall's cameo.

[Phil Taylor]

Phil, we've got RT for Liberty, who's in the chat often. Every week, he says. About to swap earbuds. Been here since the start. Let's keep it going. That's what I like to hear.

[Spencer Newharth]

What does that mean? Is he about to die?

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Show is the only thing dying today. It's the batteries on his earbuds. You need to go back to the wired.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah. Taylor Ferguson asked if Brody got a tattoo.

[Randall Williams]

He did indeed.

[Phil Taylor]

If you missed that, got his first tattoo live on Meat Eater Radio Live.

[Spencer Newharth]

It was.

[Randall Williams]

Have to scrub back a few hours.

[Spencer Newharth]

Back in the Giannis Putelis hour, probably about 2/3 of the way through, Brody came in and showed off his tattoo.

[Phil Taylor]

Let's see, a lot of questions for Brent Reeves when he was in the chat.

[Spencer Newharth]

Phil, are you going to get in a tattoo, you think or no?

[Phil Taylor]

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 tattoo chairs.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. And full screen means that we can see the chat as well.

[Phil Taylor]

Yes, you will still be able to

[Spencer Newharth]

see the chat before that happens. I'm going to do a 10 one then I'm, I'm ready to be here for a while.

[Phil Taylor]

Randall, what kind of stuff do we have from Taco Bell over there?

[Randall Williams]

Randall, you got to try one of these like cream filled Cinnabon donut holes.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh that, yeah, those come with the breakfast combos. They're not bad. They're pretty explicit when you bite into them, but they're, they're, they're okay.

[Randall Williams]

I mean, so we've got churros and the, the Cinnabons.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, thanks. Oh, like this, the cinnamon twists.

[Randall Williams]

No, they're like, they're like little cinnamon donut holes.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, well, these are full of.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, I see the. You're calling a churro. We got churros too.

[Spencer Newharth]

And two Baja Blast Mountain Dews and

[Randall Williams]

a mango refill Fresca that has little dehydrated mangoes. I think I tried one. Yeah, it looks, it looks like marshmallows.

[Phil Taylor]

Now if you're watching, this is a good time to take 101 yourself. Or 102 if you're feeling, you're feeling brave.

[Randall Williams]

Turn two, boss. Oh, I feel like we're going strong. Corey, I apologize. Do you have a hard out today? Not necessarily, no. I'm taking the next, next four or five days off after this. Yeah, but I mean, are we gonna, are we gonna screw up your evening? You know, I should probably hit the road by about 5:30, 6:00'. Clock. Yeah, we can do the last couple segments without you. I would imagine so. What time is it? It's almost four. Yeah, it's almost four now. Another hour and a half. Yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

If. Since you're asking, people are asking if we're gonna get a new studio sneak peek during the live tour. I'm thinking we will.

[Randall Williams]

I'm thinking.

[Phil Taylor]

So it's not fully, it's not fully complete, but it is mostly constructed. But you know, all the knickknacks and lighting and stuff, it's not there yet.

[Randall Williams]

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.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, apparently the Henderson clan is strong clan identity. Let's see, we've got Jake. Looks like we've got. We can do a quick tattoo update really quick.

[Randall Williams]

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

Who's in the chair now. Oh, it's Reva, my fellow podcast engineer. Engineer and producer and all things analytics. Let's talk to Reva.

[Randall Williams]

Going down on the leg.

[Phil Taylor]

Riva, how's it going? Yes, it's going fantastic. Cool. And this is. This is not. This is not your first tattoo. Two that you've gotten from Baker. Correct.

[Randall Williams]

It's done. It's a buffalo skull.

[Spencer Newharth]

Sick.

[Randall Williams]

That's cool. Oh, wow. You're getting your finger tats. You're getting the company's money worth dang rea.

[Spencer Newharth]

Good for you.

[Phil Taylor]

These weren't from today.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, oh, I see. Gotcha. Nice. So you wrap it up there then. Oh no. I can't understand what I'm watching. Nevermind.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, yeah, that's it. It's all done. Okay. That means I think they're ready for fill over.

[Randall Williams]

Are you guys ready for Phil to hop in the the seat of honor?

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, goodness. Okay, so yeah, when I take off, this feels like sending my kid off to kindergarten on the school bus for the first time. And I'm scared. 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.

[Randall Williams]

Shoot me that link dog.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh yeah, it's a good also.

[Spencer Newharth]

Jake, could you bring me another Coors light, please?

[Randall Williams]

Give me two.

[Spencer Newharth]

There was they.

[Randall Williams]

We were out.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh no. Door dash gods. You can hear us?

[Randall Williams]

No, no, I've got some in my desk, third floor.

[Spencer Newharth]

I think we have some montucky down here.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, yeah, there are cold snacks.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay, I'm. I'm heading over there right now. Just Jake. Okay.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, so what is going to happen is Phil is going to go get his tattoo. We're gonna be flying blind for a little bit. And in the meantime, Randall Williams is going to give you the best tour of the meat eater office that you could possibly have. Getting a little feedback. I gotta let should have waited.

[Randall Williams]

This is his first time.

[Spencer Newharth]

But that's okay.

[Randall Williams]

And there he goes.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, it's just you and me, Spencer. So right now we are still looking at the tattoo artist and then Jake will soon scurry over here. Oh look, there's Phil Taylor. He was very quick.

[Phil Taylor]

I'm looking to get it done.

[Spencer Newharth]

Phil, what tattoo are we getting?

[Phil Taylor]

I think I'm gonna get a. A highway marker sign of Highway 1 in California. Like the one that runs down the coast through Big Sur. Oh, it's one of my favorite places in the world. Some of my favorite bands have written songs about.

[Spencer Newharth]

Is it Ventura Highway. It's not.

[Phil Taylor]

It's not Ventura.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Phil Taylor]

But that's a great song too. Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

I love. I love the band America.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, Phil, you make this tattoo quick because we already miss you over here. How does the fresh air feel out there?

[Phil Taylor]

It's incredible, and I recommend it. I know you just were out here, but I kind of don't want to come back. Is that okay?

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, that's okay. Okay. Yeah, we can do this. All right, I'll do the rest of the show, Bill. We will. We'll 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 before we get to the Brand Williams office tour. Corey, you are going on a hunt this weekend?

[Phil Taylor]

I am.

[Spencer Newharth]

Can we talk about it?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, sure.

[Spencer Newharth]

What are you doing? What are you hunting for?

[Randall Williams]

I was going to go out, do a little spot and stock hunt for some wolves.

[Spencer Newharth]

A very badass hunt to do solo, which is what Corey is going to to do. Tell us about the logistics, what you have to do, man. Well, with the lack of snow and

[Randall Williams]

the warm weather, we've had this road

[Spencer Newharth]

that I'd like to access.

[Randall Williams]

Typically you can't get into this zone without a snowmobile, but now I can drive a vehicle in there. I was actually going to take one of our Can Am defenders in there just in case because we are getting

[Spencer Newharth]

snow at the moment.

[Randall Williams]

Little mix of snow and rain, so

[Spencer Newharth]

it's going to be sloppy.

[Randall Williams]

Got a nice winch on the front in case I need to winch myself out of a. A hole. But yeah, going for about five days, I got a spot where I've seen wolves consistently and spot and stocking. 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 gonna hang out there for about four days and hopefully catch a pack or a solo. Just roaming back through because.

[Spencer Newharth]

Do you do any calling while you're there?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, I'll do like just a wounded rabbit or a wounded fish. Fawn call, mouth call, and then I'll also set out an electronic call.

[Spencer Newharth]

The wolves you're hunting, what do you think they're eating this time of year?

[Randall Williams]

Deer and elk.

[Spencer Newharth]

Like, that's 100% of their diet.

[Randall Williams]

Okay. Rabbits, coyote. Well, there's not too many coyotes in this area because there's so many wolves.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. Northwest Montana. That balance of predator and prey is a little out of whack up There.

[Spencer Newharth]

You're going to go help it out though?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, I'm going to do my best.

[Spencer Newharth]

What's the weather like that you got coming?

[Randall Williams]

Rainy. It's going to be very wet. It's like right off 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.

[Spencer Newharth]

There you go.

[Randall Williams]

See if our new rain jacket holds up long enough.

[Spencer Newharth]

I think it's badass 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 and your own success. And you're doing that at like 10x with, with this hunt you're doing. I'm very excited to hear how it goes. Oh, yeah, I'm excited.

[Randall Williams]

Well, keep. Keep your fingers crossed for me just because the access getting in, especially with this weather, could be a little iffy, but.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, thanks. I'll keep you posted. Corey is going to be on our news program next week talking about the wolf.

[Phil Taylor]

I hope so.

[Randall Williams]

Hopefully I bring back a little wolf

[Spencer Newharth]

meat for the next roast episode.

[Randall Williams]

We'll see. Tbd.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, Randall is ready to give us the office tour. There he is. Randall, where we at?

[Phil Taylor]

And I.

[Randall Williams]

We're going to have all this fishing. Yeah. Can't hear us.

[Spencer Newharth]

Randall can't hear us. Can anybody hear us right now? Jake?

[Phil Taylor]

They should be able to.

[Spencer Newharth]

I think it's possible.

[Phil Taylor]

His phone has not been turned up.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, good call.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

He might have turned it down when he left.

[Spencer Newharth]

I'll text. He's hanging up.

[Randall Williams]

We're live.

[Spencer Newharth]

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, sitting here and seeing myself in Phil's camera is in some ways a testament to his good looks because this feels very unflattering.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, my face is giant, right?

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

Welcome.

[Spencer Newharth]

Reva. Reva, what are you doing here?

[Randall Williams]

Reva?

[Spencer Newharth]

Just here to enjoy. Phil gave me permission to come and steal donut holes. Please, please, Cinnabuns. Take whatever you like. Would you like any relish or Baja Blast or half of Randall's chili dog? How about a banana? Okay.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, we're getting a thumbs up from Randall. Should we try again?

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, Randall is ready to go. Randall, where are you standing?

[Randall Williams]

Hello, Guys, I'm standing right here. Oh, sorry, My hand's covered. I'm standing right here in the kitchen where we film. Wow. The hit YouTube series Meat Eater Roast.

[Spencer Newharth]

Mm.

[Randall Williams]

You'll see right here, the refrigerator that

[Phil Taylor]

you know from roast.

[Randall Williams]

Right there's the stove.

[Spencer Newharth]

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 a no on what it smells like, bad or good?

[Randall Williams]

Curious what expired condiments might be in there. Yeah, it smells bad in that one.

[Spencer Newharth]

What do you think is the. Is causing the problems?

[Randall Williams]

Couldn't be that half. I don't really know.

[Spencer Newharth]

He's got his whole face in the fridge.

[Randall Williams]

It's hard to. It's hard to manage the camera and smell the refrigerator at the same time. Stick the phone in the fridge. There's definitely a weird smell. The baking soda we've got here is not really helping.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, okay. That's just one half of the fridge. Now he's gonna open the other half. And does that half smell better or worse than the right half?

[Randall Williams]

There's not much, much in here, but it just kind of smells like. It smells like a meat processor.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

Like when you go to drop off a deer at a butcher, what that room smells like? That's what it smells like.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. Okay. All right. Continue with the tour.

[Randall Williams]

It's not terrible.

[Steven Rinella]

So

[Randall Williams]

right now in the kitchen, we're doing a little secret photo shoot for some brand new First Light products. Careful.

[Spencer Newharth]

If there is show any of the.

[Randall Williams]

That stuff.

[Spencer Newharth]

Wow. We did get a little glimpse.

[Randall Williams]

Naked mannequin.

[Spencer Newharth]

If somebody is paying close attention, they're going to figure out what we have there.

[Randall Williams]

Top secret. Hey, I'm in the closing right now. Yes. We've got. You can see we've got a parking lot out this way. There's Steve's truck in the handicap spot. Steve's. Steve's still in the building.

[Spencer Newharth]

And that. That pickup was backed in Phil.

[Randall Williams]

That's correct. So right now we're in the Meat Eater. The Meat Eater corporate gym. We've got an exercise bike here. We've got a little treadmill, got a little stair climber and some free weights.

[Spencer Newharth]

Can you give us an example of a workout you like to do, Randall?

[Randall Williams]

Well, you see this box drop thing?

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Randall Williams]

I'll usually just come in. I'll 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, pretty straightforward.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's a nice quiet room to think in.

[Randall Williams]

You can see here, there's a. There's a contest between Garrett and Nate as to who can do the most reps during work.

[Spencer Newharth]

Huh.

[Randall Williams]

I don't know what that does to their efficiency.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. Who would fool around on work hours?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. Y.

[Randall Williams]

Seems like a giant waste of company resources, right?

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, what else?

[Randall Williams]

Chili's office. Oh, the gear room. I'm in Chili's office. That's the first black bear I ever killed right there. Oh, and I'm. Oh, there's a lot of cameras and stuff, real expensive stuff in here. No one's supposed to be in here.

[Spencer Newharth]

Chile has, I think, the only office that has a keypad lock on it to keep people out of there. True.

[Randall Williams]

Yes, that's true. And even if Chili didn't have valuable things in there, he'd probably still lock his door to keep people out.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's right. Okay, where are you at now?

[Randall Williams]

Now I'm walking past the podcast studio.

[Spencer Newharth]

I can hear him.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, wow. This is the entryway to the podcast studio. 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 chilly. We made it back from the city.

[Spencer Newharth]

Welcome, buddy.

[Randall Williams]

Got some zins in a Celsius, too, on the way. That's nice. Good stuff.

[Spencer Newharth]

Thumbs up.

[Randall Williams]

Okay, Phil, how's your sets going, Phil?

[Phil Taylor]

Starting. So this is. Honestly, reclining here for just a few minutes has been incredible.

[Spencer Newharth]

Good, good, good.

[Phil Taylor]

Much to be hidden, Phil.

[Spencer Newharth]

What are all these wires in here for?

[Phil Taylor]

I don't know.

[Randall Williams]

Or five, maybe. Wow. Like three. There's still three, four, or five tattoos to go.

[Spencer Newharth]

Wow.

[Randall Williams]

Cory had to get his. Good work, Phil. Yeah, Cory's got to get one.

[Phil Taylor]

Don't let Spencer chick it out.

[Randall Williams]

He was going to get one says, don't let Spencer chicken out.

[Spencer Newharth]

Run up that tab in there. We tip well, too, at Meat Eater.

[Randall Williams]

What I'm going to do now is give our audience the world's first glimpse at the new podcast studio.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, there's. There's people who work here who haven't even seen in this space yet. Can you turn a light on random? Do we have those?

[Randall Williams]

I don't know. I don't know.

[Spencer Newharth]

Clap your hands.

[Randall Williams]

No, I hit the switches.

[Phil Taylor]

They don't work.

[Spencer Newharth]

No lights.

[Randall Williams]

Okay, but you can see here. There's some nice wood paneling, some leather furniture. There's some antlers, a lot of antelope skulls. Oh, there's a coffee table that I just hit my leg on.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

There's There's a. What I believe is a whale vertebrae

[Spencer Newharth]

from Heather De Ville.

[Phil Taylor]

Phil.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, and it's just. It's like a. It's like a little museum of sorts, but classy. Not like Phil's podcast studio.

[Phil Taylor]

Right.

[Spencer Newharth]

Much better ventilation in that space.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. What's the temp in there?

[Randall Williams]

It's actually a decent temp. Right now. It's fairly comfortable. I can't tell, though, because my body just feels weird at this point. The hot dogs. I'm gonna take the tour now. I guess we'll wander around here. There's a hallway with some offices.

[Spencer Newharth]

This zone is kind of a mystery, I think, for most of the office, despite there being, you know, like a half a dozen employees down there. Doesn't get a lot of foot traffic.

[Randall Williams]

Hey, there's our HR director. She's live on Radio Live.

[Spencer Newharth]

Does she have a dog with her?

[Randall Williams]

She does.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. Nice little potty.

[Randall Williams]

I think she's going for a dog potty break. I'm gonna walk down the FHF hallway here.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Look for Paul Lewis.

[Spencer Newharth]

They share a building with us. We are still only on floor, one of three floors for the Meat Eater HQ tour. Randall has to kill enough time for Phil to get an entire tattoo. So let's look inside every nook and cranny. Randall. There's Paul.

[Randall Williams]

There's Paul Lewis, the founder of FHF Gear. Running away walked away from me. I don't think he wants to talk to us.

[Spencer Newharth]

No, he's one move away from slamming the door on you. Paul's too good at his job for this nonsense.

[Randall Williams]

Seems like a big distraction to me. Yeah. Yeah, it is. That's. Yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

Here's Nate.

[Randall Williams]

Here's Nate Mason. Hey, you're live on Radio Lives. Yeah, but you're live on radio. Radio Live.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, no. We've got Inception going now.

[Giannis Patelis]

We've got.

[Randall Williams]

Is it gonna work? Oh, you're.

[Steven Rinella]

It might be.

[Randall Williams]

There might be a little delay.

[Spencer Newharth]

How's Chip doing today?

[Randall Williams]

I'm fine, dude.

[Steven Rinella]

He's being as dumb as always.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, you got your bone. You got your little crazy dude. Nate, how are you doing today?

[Steven Rinella]

Great, man.

[Randall Williams]

Just enjoying the Olive Garden. I wanted some of those Cinnabons. Or even there's. There's more in there, and you should

[Steven Rinella]

go hit it up.

[Randall Williams]

I'm there. There's Nate's decorations and his saber. Hey, Nate.

[Spencer Newharth]

Nate, can you do me a favor?

[Steven Rinella]

Yep.

[Spencer Newharth]

I heard a rumor that on the third floor, in the refrigerator, there are some Coors lights. Would you see if There are any. And bring them to me.

[Steven Rinella]

Dude. Time me, bro.

[Phil Taylor]

We're on our own.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, go, Nate. I'm timing you right now. Let's see how quick you can do this.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, he's got help too.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh.

[Randall Williams]

Go, Chip.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, good. Okay, Randall is exiting the FHF wing.

[Randall Williams]

That concludes our tour of the first floor.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yep, he's now going to walk backwards up the stairs to show you how talented he is.

[Randall Williams]

Nate's making a lot of noise.

[Spencer Newharth]

I think I can hear him.

[Randall Williams]

So here. We're getting to the. We're getting to the second floor.

[Spencer Newharth]

I'm surprised you didn't take the elevator. Do that on the way down.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, yeah, we do have an elevator that goes to two of our three floors.

[Spencer Newharth]

Very useful.

[Randall Williams]

Here's our kitchen. Now here's the highlight of the tour. We're gonna go to Phil's office. This is the office of Phil Taylor.

[Spencer Newharth]

Phil has a large collection of Legos and tiki mugs. He's probably got the biggest tiki mug collection in all of Bozeman.

[Randall Williams]

Whoa. One minute. Wow.

[Spencer Newharth]

Nate made it. Nate has made it with a beer. 01:07. That is a meat eater office record.

[Steven Rinella]

Bad news, though.

[Randall Williams]

All I got is Tillamook and.

[Giannis Patelis]

Okay, we got some yogurt.

[Spencer Newharth]

He brought us yogurt and na beers. All I had. Thank you, Nate.

[Phil Taylor]

I do need to get.

[Randall Williams]

I'm where the Cinnabons go back with Jake. Oh, in that bag.

[Spencer Newharth]

I didn't know I had that tower, dude.

[Randall Williams]

And then I got to steal the Baja Blast with. With the straw.

[Spencer Newharth]

Very impressive. Thank you much, Nate.

[Steven Rinella]

Hey, as outdoorsman, we always spend a lot of time thinking about how we interact with the land, how we care for the land. But then yard care, like your lawn care, defaults to chemical. Heavy routine. Means the tree. Every yard the same? Well, Sunday offers a different model. They begin by understanding your soil and local climate, then build a customized yard plan designed specifically for your environment. Their products rely on nutrient dense ingredients like seaweed, molasses, and iron, rather than harsh synthetic chemicals. Everything arrives at your door and connects to a horse hose, simplifying what has traditionally been a complicated trial and error process. It's a more targeted, more thoughtful approach to caring for the space just outside your home. Less guesswork, less excess. Fewer unnecessary treatments. If you're curious what your yard actually needs and prefer a smarter way to support it, Sunday makes that process remarkably straightforward.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, Phil, where are we at now on the tour?

[Randall Williams]

Good wampum. I'm in the. I'm in the coffer room where we planned this show yesterday. Seems like ages ago. Refrigerator has been restocked, drinks some snacks. So that's good. That's good. If, if folks. If folks want, I'll show them Seth Morris's office. Yes, please.

[Spencer Newharth]

The new father.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, this is what. This is what a dad's office looks like. New dad.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, I can see.

[Randall Williams]

Usually Seth. Usually Seth's right there. Yeah, that's where he sits. I mean he does pictures and stuff on that.

[Spencer Newharth]

Seth has the best.

[Randall Williams]

I don't know much about.

[Spencer Newharth]

Seth has the best sight line in the office. Show people. From Seth's door, how far down the hallway he can see.

[Randall Williams]

Oh yeah, oh yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

And out in the parking lot. Look at all those back to in vehicles, huh? Yeah, that's. That was four for four. Pickups were backed in there in our parking lot.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, Seth can see all the way across the building. Wow. It's pretty remarkable.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, that's. That's where Predator.

[Randall Williams]

Hey, there he is. And Ruby. Oh, there's Maggie. She's wearing headphones. She can't hear me. Working the magic post production. See, I obviously isn't watching. Oh, she's watching the tour. Oh, crazy.

[Spencer Newharth]

Thanks for all the support, Maggie Smith.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, man.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, I think it just. I think it just broke the Internet.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, we're down to three digits now.

[Randall Williams]

937.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. Yeah, we're losing people. Randall. It's time to make this interesting.

[Randall Williams]

What do you want me to do? Should I go look for Steve? Steve's here? Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, that would actually.

[Randall Williams]

We gotta go, Steve.

[Phil Taylor]

We got.

[Randall Williams]

We gotta save the live stream.

[Spencer Newharth]

Call an audible.

[Randall Williams]

We gotta save the live stream.

[Spencer Newharth]

We're down to 900.

[Randall Williams]

Oh.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, they're flocking.

[Steven Rinella]

It's.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's a mass migration.

[Randall Williams]

Why would they leave now?

[Spencer Newharth]

I know. Don't they want to see where we work still?

[Randall Williams]

That's three times. Maybe they just have technical difficulties. Oh, we're back up to a thousand.

[Spencer Newharth]

We did it.

[Randall Williams]

Okay. Oh, doors closed. Oh, I wonder if Steve's door's closed. I don't know if he's busy knock. Hold on one sec. Don't want to interrupt Steve in an important meeting. Are you busy? Oh, you're live on Media Radio. Live. Hey, look at that.

[Spencer Newharth]

Steve Brunello.

[Randall Williams]

I can't believe it.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, Steve, tell us about some of your favorite things in life.

[Phil Taylor]

Your.

[Spencer Newharth]

Your office. Okay. He's getting out of his chair. He's looking around.

[Randall Williams]

Well, I'll tell you what. See this right here? This, this.

[Steven Rinella]

You think. You think you're looking at a polar bear?

[Spencer Newharth]

I would.

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah, that's a black bear that I left in the window for a long time.

[Randall Williams]

Really?

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's impressive. What other interesting stuff? Stuff you got?

[Steven Rinella]

My beautiful wife.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, great photo.

[Spencer Newharth]

Very nice. Yep. Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Big fisherman.

[Spencer Newharth]

Big fish.

[Steven Rinella]

Big, big fisherman.

[Randall Williams]

She looks happy in that photo.

[Steven Rinella]

All she does is fish.

[Randall Williams]

You want to talk about a lady that fishes, the expression on her face says, this is where I've always wanted to be. That is one fishing lady right there.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yep.

[Randall Williams]

Yep, that's official. Yeah, she's in her element.

[Steven Rinella]

Probably fishing. Fishing right now.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Good fishing conditions out there.

[Steven Rinella]

I got this book. Remember I was telling you about this?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

I Got it for you for your present.

[Randall Williams]

Thank you. Oh, wow. The other day when she told me that this is on the way, I already read this book.

[Steven Rinella]

Well, I was just telling you about it.

[Spencer Newharth]

I know.

[Randall Williams]

I read it as soon as you told me about it, but then I said to her, I have to read it again because it's told from the perspective of a drug addict. So it needs at least two or three reasons. I really like it when he sits on the truck seat and there's the baby rabbits in the truck seat. That's one of my favorite parts.

[Spencer Newharth]

Steve, can you show us one or two more things?

[Randall Williams]

Read that whole book.

[Spencer Newharth]

Can you show us one or two more things in there, Steve?

[Randall Williams]

Oh, boy. Yeah, just like.

[Steven Rinella]

Just kind of keeping your listeners in mind there.

[Randall Williams]

What they might find interesting.

[Steven Rinella]

This is I. This is. I rendered this man coil myself O Homemade. Homemade mango. Wow.

[Spencer Newharth]

Shot glass worth.

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

My dad.

[Steven Rinella]

This was my dad's. He was old.

[Spencer Newharth]

He.

[Steven Rinella]

He talked about how old this was.

[Randall Williams]

Oh.

[Spencer Newharth]

And he.

[Randall Williams]

Do you have any idea how old it is?

[Phil Taylor]

No.

[Randall Williams]

Look at it. That's cool.

[Steven Rinella]

He had a good joke, though. He'd say, not of this, but a joke is. You see, say, like, this is my great, great, great grandfather's hatchet.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

But it's had three new handles and two new heads.

[Randall Williams]

Just think about that. Yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

Here's a masai spear.

[Randall Williams]

Dang.

[Steven Rinella]

Got that for 100 bucks, which is really surprising. But someone told me that a lot of things are a hundred. If someone's really old and you're like, how old were they? They'll be like 100.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Steven Rinella]

Because they don't.

[Randall Williams]

They're just.

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah. It's just something. So when we ask them how much for that spear, he's like a hundred.

[Spencer Newharth]

What is that meant to cut through or cut into?

[Steven Rinella]

Oh, they bring them. The guys. So they'll see how it's got this. This spike on the end. When they're doing something, they just drop it and just into the ground.

[Randall Williams]

That's a good idea.

[Steven Rinella]

And then they use them to defend their stock.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Steven Rinella]

We ran into some and guys and hyena killed one of their. A hyena had killed one of their sheep, one of their goats, and they were heading out to. They were heading out to kill that hyena with some dogs and they had spears with them.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

Pretty standard office decor.

[Steven Rinella]

These are squirrel koozies.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, now we're talking.

[Spencer Newharth]

Beautiful. Have you ever actually used it?

[Steven Rinella]

No.

[Spencer Newharth]

No.

[Steven Rinella]

Here's a turtle shell. Like a honest to God turtle shell turned into A turkey call.

[Randall Williams]

O.

[Spencer Newharth]

Let's hear it.

[Randall Williams]

What do you mean?

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, there it is.

[Phil Taylor]

There you go.

[Randall Williams]

Sorry, we couldn't hear it here, even with the headphones on.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, very subtle. Yep.

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah, it's not loud.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, Good stuff. That would kill a turkey.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, here's some. A turtle.

[Steven Rinella]

This guy grew up just down the beach. That's John Gary. That's me as an adult. But he lived. I 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 broke, you'd go find him and he would fix it. And then I always tell Yanni this story. Is Yanni in there with you guys?

[Randall Williams]

No, he couldn't handle it.

[Steven Rinella]

John Gary. Around this time, John Gary told me I was at his house, and he used to.

[Randall Williams]

He.

[Steven Rinella]

He kept lists of all the books he read. And he. And. And every day he fished. Okay. And he would cut up oranges and put them in his freezer. And then you'd make a vodka drink and put the frozen oranges in it. 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 he pointed to his shoes, but he says, the catch is, I live here till I die.

[Randall Williams]

And I didn't do. Would have been a very, very, very smart thing to do.

[Spencer Newharth]

Sounds like a cultured man.

[Steven Rinella]

I wasn't at that, mind, you know, like, if you said it to me now, I'd get on the phone, I'd be like, I got a hot one.

[Randall Williams]

That's like asking somebody for $100.

[Steven Rinella]

Yeah, like, I got it hot. I just need some cash.

[Randall Williams]

This is going to be good.

[Spencer Newharth]

All right. Thank you, Steve. I appreciate you entertaining us.

[Randall Williams]

Well, not the time.

[Steven Rinella]

This is probably the last chance I'll have on

[Spencer Newharth]

Randall's going.

[Randall Williams]

How's our viewer count doing?

[Spencer Newharth]

It bumped back up to 1054.

[Randall Williams]

1054. Yeah, we. It started to go down when I began the chores. That's why I ran over here or just me? The camera angle, I think

[Spencer Newharth]

very, very good camera angle. Okay, we're still on the second floor. We've seen Steve's corner office.

[Randall Williams]

That's where Corey and Giannis used to work. Yep, that looks familiar. There's Matt Miller. He's watching the live stream.

[Spencer Newharth]

All right, thank you, Matt.

[Randall Williams]

We're about to Inception.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's happening. Yep.

[Randall Williams]

That's sweet.

[Spencer Newharth]

You did it.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, you know what people Would like to see.

[Spencer Newharth]

You know, Tell me.

[Randall Williams]

Probably like to see. They probably like to see the free table. Oh.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

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.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, FHS air harness. Airframe. It's the Meat eaters American History, Volume 1 on CD.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh.

[Randall Williams]

There's a company that turns digital audio products into CDs for libraries and things. We got one, but I don't have a CD player, so it's on the free table.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

And what's that map? Three books. The map. This is a. I don't want to turn it. Does that look. No, that doesn't look good.

[Spencer Newharth]

You had it for a second.

[Randall Williams]

It's the map of the 50 United States. You're supposed to fill in with a photo of your adventures from those different states.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, interesting.

[Randall Williams]

What are the photo. Who do you think that belonged to before? I see a few photos. It's Steve.

[Steven Rinella]

Oh.

[Randall Williams]

He didn't quite accomplish 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.

[Spencer Newharth]

That has been on the free table for probably a year. That's just a staple of the free table now.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, it's pretty big. It's pretty big.

[Spencer Newharth]

Randall walked by his favorite room, the nursing room. He's not going to show us there.

[Randall Williams]

And, 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. It's, I guess, YouTube.

[Spencer Newharth]

I don't 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. Some would say this is the best floor of the Meat Eater HQ office.

[Randall Williams]

Here's a bear that Brody killed.

[Phil Taylor]

That's a big bear.

[Spencer Newharth]

I thought that was Clay Newcomb's bear.

[Randall Williams]

I think it's Brody's.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, I could be wrong. I'm gonna fact check you there.

[Randall Williams]

Maybe it's a good one. We can ask him. There's the buffalo robe. Yep.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, yeah. Walk over to that overlook real quick, Randall, and show us that glass window. One day, probably two years ago, there was a bird that got stuck in here, and it was pinned up against that corner, and it took about half a dozen media employees to finally free it, and it. It crapped all over the office. It was a scary day here at Me Deidre hq, but we solved it.

[Randall Williams]

There's a dead bug on that Window now.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. Very good.

[Randall Williams]

50% of those cars were backed in there, huh? Alex isn't at work. I see a chess table.

[Spencer Newharth]

Do you think he plays chess at work?

[Steven Rinella]

He does.

[Randall Williams]

Garrett. There's Garrett Long.

[Spencer Newharth]

Garrett Long.

[Randall Williams]

You know, he's watching. He's definitely watching. Yeah. What would you like to say to the media? Radio Live, final audience.

[Phil Taylor]

I think it's too bad that it's being canceled. Yeah. Steve was afraid of sharing the spotlight with emerging talent.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, that's a great point. Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Good thing Steve's not watching right now.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, We. We are proving him right.

[Phil Taylor]

Definitely not.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. Alex's office. Yeah, He's. He's got the chessboard. He sends a weekly Slack message probably, and says, please, somebody come play me in chess. So if you want to get employed here at me, put that on your resume that you will play Alex at chess.

[Randall Williams]

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.

[Spencer Newharth]

Nobody's watching it.

[Randall Williams]

I'll bring into. Here's Corey and Giannis's office. Oh, look at that. But that's Corey's desk. Yeah, that's Giannis's desk. Yanni's desk is clean. Well, yeah. What makes. What makes desks messy stuff? Work. Yeah, Lots of work.

[Giannis Patelis]

Work.

[Randall Williams]

Endless work.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yep. Bian's got about a half dozen muley skulls on the ground there. And then he's got his biggest one, an absolute whopper. It's 196 inches. I think he said that deer is.

[Randall Williams]

We got to rescore that.

[Spencer Newharth]

Then he's got a half dozen that need to be hung on the wall yet.

[Randall Williams]

That's Yanni's pile of deer.

[Spencer Newharth]

Corey make a prediction as to when those will get hung on the wall? They've already say by the end of

[Randall Williams]

the end of March.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. They've already been there for, I think, what, two weeks?

[Randall Williams]

Three, probably.

[Spencer Newharth]

Three weeks. He's had a half dozen skulls on the ground. And Corey is predicting that in the next three weeks they're going to get hung.

[Randall Williams]

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 can log in and turn it off. You need my finger for that?

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, yeah, that's okay.

[Phil Taylor]

Just let your enter password.

[Spencer Newharth]

We like the subscribers. We like the. The views. Okay.

[Randall Williams]

That must be Yanni's mountain lion, huh? On the wall, I suppose.

[Spencer Newharth]

No, it's Cory's mountain, and I'm just joking.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, that's right. Sorry, Corey. Do you want me to go talk about it? No, we already did.

[Spencer Newharth]

What's in there?

[Randall Williams]

Oh, my goodness. This is my. My office and what used to be Cal's desk. Rip. Although Cal'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 mementos. Oh, the ham.

[Spencer Newharth]

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 guide. He's got some BlackBerry grease from May 2025. Yeah, I. I made and handed that to. Okay. He's. He's got some Marlboro Golds that were given to us by the Poplar Middle School class. That was here a week ago.

[Randall Williams]

Huh.

[Spencer Newharth]

They brought cigarettes. They did bring cigarettes, yes. It was. One of their three gifts they brought us was tobacco.

[Randall Williams]

Here's my picture from when I went to Medieval Times. And there's my VIP badges from Medieval Times. Here's a geode that Spencer gave me and some Kenny and Martin basketball cards that Spencer gave me.

[Spencer Newharth]

Huh.

[Randall Williams]

These are the basketball cards Spencer gave me, sorted out by coaches and players. It's tough because Juwan Howard is a coach, but he's. This is a photo of him as a player.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. No, it's. It's coaches with coaches cards or players who turned in into coaches. So it's. It's both.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Randall's office normally has, I'd say, at least a dozen 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. He takes advantage of it. Oh, my goodness.

[Randall Williams]

These are all library books that need to be returned.

[Spencer Newharth]

How Many are there? 25, you think?

[Randall Williams]

I don't know.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

They're going to take away your privileges.

[Randall Williams]

I bet there's probably 30 or 40. Okay, I have a printout of alls, I'm sure. Oh,

[Spencer Newharth]

you're abusing the system, Randall. They're going to take it away.

[Randall Williams]

They're going to take away your library card. Oh. What kind of library doesn't want people to check books out?

[Spencer Newharth]

Good point.

[Randall Williams]

Capiche? That's what. Here's Brody's office. Is he there? No.

[Spencer Newharth]

No. That is the darkest office in the studio. Even when Brody's in there working, he's got the shades Drawn and the lights off.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, this masterpiece of an office. This is Spencer's office, everybody.

[Spencer Newharth]

My office.

[Randall Williams]

Spencer, what's your favorite thing in that office?

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, my favorite thing.

[Randall Williams]

I mean, there's a lot going on.

[Spencer Newharth]

Show me the whole room again so I can give you a good answer. Answer on the favorite thing.

[Randall Williams]

I really like your.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, I like the sandhill crane wing. I was gonna say that's hanging.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, that's really cool.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, I. I let that go into rigor mortis in that position, and then I just took a piece of FHF paracord and tied that up behind it, and it's just hanging on a nail. I'd say that's probably my favorite thing. It's probably the thing that people talk to me the most about, is that

[Randall Williams]

they don't ask you about your card collection.

[Spencer Newharth]

No, no. When I was a kid, I collected sports cards pretty feverishly. 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 he is just about to wrap up the tour. Here he is going into, I think, our last room. What's in there?

[Randall Williams]

Well, this is the conference room where everybody was. You know how fast Nate was. He didn't close the fridge. Oh,

[Spencer Newharth]

he was fast. He didn't have a second to spare.

[Randall Williams]

I remember my first beer.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, we've still got some olive garden in there. Ooh, nectars the magpies can go have. Yeah.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yep.

[Randall Williams]

That's really nice.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, Randall, is there anything else you need to show us today?

[Randall Williams]

What.

[Spencer Newharth]

What do the meat eater bathrooms look like? I've always wondered that.

[Randall Williams]

The. You want me to do. Not the single holders up here. You want me to go do a real bathroom? I'll do the first floor bathroom real quick.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

Just back in my office real quick.

[Spencer Newharth]

Uhhuh.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh,

[Spencer Newharth]

he's. Oh, he's got Coors banquets in there that are really room temperature. You know, he's got many of them.

[Phil Taylor]

Hey, Randall, can you bring a couple of those down, please?

[Randall Williams]

On their way, Phil.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, that was Phil's voice.

[Randall Williams]

Probably need more.

[Spencer Newharth]

Phil has just again joined us in the studio. So, Randall, you can. You can wrap up this tour whenever you'd like. We have our. Our pilot is back in his seat.

[Randall Williams]

I'm on my way down. I'll hit the restroom real quick, and then I'm on my way. Take elevator.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, yeah, please.

[Phil Taylor]

How's the tour guide?

[Randall Williams]

Am I testing it? The elevator is bad for Signal.

[Spencer Newharth]

The. The tour has gone very well.

[Phil Taylor]

We.

[Spencer Newharth]

We dipped below a thousand for just a second, and then Randall recovered. And we're. We're holding steady at about 1100 here since.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, pretty impressive. All right, here, I'll hit the bathroom.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, is he. Is he using the bathroom?

[Spencer Newharth]

I don't know. Yeah, he's not going to use the bathroom. Right? That would be. Oh, yeah. The light turned on. Okay, we're now gonna see what the bathroom looks like.

[Phil Taylor]

You can show the Custer here, fellas portrait above the urinals.

[Randall Williams]

I love that every time I go

[Spencer Newharth]

in there to take a leak, I

[Randall Williams]

look at like a new face in that.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, there's a lot to look at.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Steve's obsession was getting this print in our office. And once we did it, now lives above the urinals.

[Phil Taylor]

Looks like it's a little choppy in the bathroom. Predictably.

[Randall Williams]

A Pulp Fiction poster.

[Spencer Newharth]

Anybody know where that one?

[Phil Taylor]

That was at the old office, and it belonged to 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 and now we have it.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Steven Rinella]

All right, guys.

[Randall Williams]

I had no idea until now.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, thank you, Randall. He is. He's gonna come back and join us shortly. That is the best tour. Oh, man.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, someone sent us a pizza.

[Spencer Newharth]

Be my turn. Okay, We. We now have a. Papa John's pizza has also entered the studio. Looks like meat lovers. Meat lovers three meat pizza.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, man. Good to see that the live stream audience is still in good shape here. I was kind of afraid. Would you pass that to.

[Spencer Newharth]

I kind of missed you, Randall. I forgot that you got a whole of bunch body. And it's not just. I know you're not just a head.

[Randall Williams]

I almost got a thousand steps in that.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

It's pretty good.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, Phil.

[Phil Taylor]

Jesus.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, yeah. These beers are probably gonna be real highly precious.

[Spencer Newharth]

What happened, Phil? Phil opened up a Coors banquet and

[Phil Taylor]

it is all over my crotch.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, perfect.

[Phil Taylor]

Luckily, Baker put some imaging film over my new tattoo. Cause it also got all over that.

[Spencer Newharth]

Hey, will you guys be all right if I go get my tattoo next? Yeah, we can handle that.

[Randall Williams]

Figured.

[Spencer Newharth]

What are you getting, Cory? Do you know yet?

[Randall Williams]

I was going to get some grizzly bear tracks on my calf.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. All right. You're welcome to take that pizza with you and see if anybody in the tattoo parlor would like us.

[Randall Williams]

These also taste slightly corked if you're a wine guy. Okay, let me just go find the timeline here.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, Phil, can we see the tattoo you got. Give us. Give us an update on the experience.

[Phil Taylor]

It's a little bloody. I decided I got a highway mark. A highway sign from Highway 1 in California. It's one of my favorite places in the world.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, God.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, Jesus. Where is it? It's going to be a little.

[Randall Williams]

We're going to.

[Spencer Newharth]

Phil's going to turn the camera here shortly.

[Randall Williams]

These things taste like. These things taste like malt liquor.

[Phil Taylor]

I can't. I can't figure this out. There it is.

[Spencer Newharth]

We can't see you yet.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, that's right. Thanks, Jake. You're over already. Better at this than me.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, hell yeah, Phil. Oh, beautiful.

[Spencer Newharth]

California. Highway 1. What are the bands you like that have had songs about Highway 1?

[Phil Taylor]

The top two.

[Spencer Newharth]

Top two.

[Phil Taylor]

Death Cab for Cutie was very important to me. And that's your favorite band in high school? Yeah, the Decemberist. But they also have. Just like that. But they have a song called Bigsby Canyon Bridge, which is a famous bridge in Big Sur, California.

[Randall Williams]

Yes, it's Mogworth still on. It's. Let's see, seven. It's. It's 12.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's late there.

[Randall Williams]

It's 12:30. His time.

[Spencer Newharth]

Well, not. I think we'll find out here soon. Okay, next up, maybe we do.

[Randall Williams]

He is on.

[Spencer Newharth]

Moore is there. That's.

[Randall Williams]

That's Shout Out.

[Spencer Newharth]

Moore.

[Randall Williams]

That's. What time is it there? Moore?

[Spencer Newharth]

He says he's here.

[Phil Taylor]

I'm here, period. And then the Decemberists also have a song called California One Front slash slash Youth and Beauty Brigade. That's one of my favorite songs.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, what do we think now? Should we do the Movie Movie Club? Are you ready for that, Randall?

[Phil Taylor]

Time to do Meat Eater Movie.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, our next segment is the Meat Eater Movie Club.

[Phil Taylor]

Here it is.

[Randall Williams]

Cory, you might want to sit down for this. Phil, you might want to turn my microphone down a little bit.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, okay.

[Randall Williams]

Just a little bit.

[Phil Taylor]

Great. Give me. Give me a sec here.

[Randall Williams]

Okay.

[Phil Taylor]

Sorry, it's hard to press a touchscreen audio mixer with sticky beer fingers. Okay, you're turned down a little bit, Randall.

[Randall Williams]

Let me be clear. Congo is phenomenal. Its critics deny this point. Jaw dropping, Lee Bad says Metacritic. Lacking a sense of purpose, says Variety. A suspenseless adventure that betrays little curiosity. Says Rotten Tomatoes. Except for Roger Ebert, who wrote False Sophisticates will scorn it. Real sophisticates will relish it. Consider the father following weird accents. A talking gorilla. Hippopotamus attack. Surface to air missiles. A gorilla drinking a martini. Hieroglyphics. 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.

[Phil Taylor]

Everything.

[Randall Williams]

It does not have to explode. Explain itself. How did the team of 12 people carry on their backs a loadout that includes whitewater rafts, computers, crates full of heavy weaponry and ammunition, folding chairs, and a tiny little clock that Monroe Kelly, played by an effortless, effortlessly charismatic Ernie Hudson, keeps on his field desk. That's referring to the tiny little clock that I mentioned a minute ago.

[Spencer Newharth]

How did they do it?

[Randall Williams]

Congo does not owe you an answer. Why is Tim Curry acting as though he is the lead in a one man show that only he was involved, invited to all goofy energy and overblown accent 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 wanted restraint. You wanted thematic 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 resolve themselves by a gorilla becoming a gorilla and Tim Curry getting bone crushed by a dozen 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, 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.

[Spencer Newharth]

Beautiful creature.

[Randall Williams]

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 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 hell bent 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 until the volcano removes all human and primal primalogical 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. The mountain swallows everything indiscriminately. Capitalist ambition and individual purpose be damned. We are all in this very room right now. The gray gorillas. Do you hear it, Spencer?

[Spencer Newharth]

I do.

[Randall Williams]

Do you hear it it, Corey?

[Giannis Patelis]

No.

[Randall Williams]

The volcano is already erupting around us. We must. We must hold the line. Four stars, no notes. Very good.

[Phil Taylor]

That was wonderful.

[Spencer Newharth]

Another review. Well done. Better than the movie. Powerful, I would say.

[Randall Williams]

Don't say that, Amy.

[Spencer Newharth]

Good. It just now occurred to me that that was Dr. Frankfurter from the Rocky Horror page Picture Show.

[Randall Williams]

Who?

[Phil Taylor]

Tim Curry.

[Spencer Newharth]

Curry.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, also Pennywise, the. The hotelier in Home Alone 2.

[Randall Williams]

Phil, before we get any further, you know what to do.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, I do know what to do.

[Spencer Newharth]

I don't know.

[Randall Williams]

Randall Walsh. Peter, hello. I love that you're a fan of Congress. You know, I usually get nip tuck or something else. Lately. It's heated rivalry and I love when somebody remembers Congo meant a lot to me at the time. We shot mostly in. 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 Linney was great. Tim Curry was great. Ernie Hudson. So I remember it fondly. You guys, you have a podcast, Man Eater Radio Live. So I'm just gonna say congratulations on that. And you and Phil and Spencer, hope you had a great run. You're gonna go on to do bigger and better things.

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, I agree.

[Randall Williams]

And thanks for remembering Congo. Every once in a while I get. Somebody will bring it up and I'm proud of it. It was a fun movie.

[Phil Taylor]

Fun.

[Randall Williams]

Fun to make and hopefully fun to watch. All right, cheers. And again, congratulations. It's like he's just back in a hotel room.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's a man who enjoyed making his cameo.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Some. Some of the celebrities they mail it in and they just like don't want to be bothered to earn that hundred dollars. Yeah, him.

[Randall Williams]

No, I liked that he, he added to my knowledge of Congo. Were we sitting. Oh, yeah. We were sitting in the office upstairs yesterday watching Congo.

[Spencer Newharth]

And I, I asked and you said,

[Randall Williams]

where did 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?

[Spencer Newharth]

Obviously, now we know.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, that's too much fun.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, Man Eater.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, Maneater. I, I mean, I did go back and proofread my message to him. I did write Meat Eater, so I

[Spencer Newharth]

thought that was just a clever joke that you played.

[Randall Williams]

Nope, Nope.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. That's.

[Randall Williams]

No, it's just a Freudian slip.

[Spencer Newharth]

That is the second time that's happened back during. I think it was our first ever. Not first ever, but first live tour 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 us, joining us next is Steve Rinella from the company Man Eater. So that's now twice, at least that we've been Man Eater instead of Meat Eater.

[Randall Williams]

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?

[Phil Taylor]

No. Is that the answer you're looking for?

[Randall Williams]

No, but I thought that was an interesting substitute. Monroe Kelly, played by Ernie Hudson.

[Phil Taylor]

Yes.

[Randall Williams]

The two alternates were Tim Allen and Ned Beatty.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's time for my tattoo.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, good luck, Corey. Good luck, Corey.

[Phil Taylor]

Corey's going to get a tattoo.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, inked up.

[Spencer Newharth]

Corey will join us back here.

[Phil Taylor]

I don't think Tim Allen's a good actor. Ernie Hudson's a lot more charming.

[Spencer Newharth]

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.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. Spencer, what are your thoughts?

[Spencer Newharth]

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.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

An easy watch in my mind. And 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. Yeah, that was breaking news to me on this 30 year old movie that they were just barely even part of it.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, I Mean, I alluded to this point in my, my review, but it is funny when you take a step 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, they got killed by these apes that are guard dogs and they don't, you know, like that's it.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

And everybody died except for three of them. And they don't really learn anything. The gorilla gets freed. You don't really see them develop as characters or people. Laura Linney still is like just as upset at Mr. Travis as she was at the beginning of the film.

[Spencer Newharth]

And during the escape, she has a tennis ball sized diamond in her pocket that she just throws on the ground. She says, I don't need this tennis ball sized diamond. That would change my life. Yeah, like next generations, shout out, Nate, we're just gonna pitch it back to the earth.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. But I love this film. We pointed out yesterday it's got a whitewater rafting scene which is a hallmark of every sort of outdoor set movie.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. Specifically from the Meat Eater movie club. There's always a scene where someone's going through some rapids.

[Randall Williams]

And the California dreaming. Sing along is great.

[Spencer Newharth]

Loved it. Love the Mamas and the Papas. 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 the next verse. Yeah. So I respect them, you know, giving like one minute to the Mamas and the Papas.

[Randall Williams]

There's a couple beautiful landscape shots like at the beginning when the original expedition is walking up the volcano crater. Just spectacular scenery.

[Spencer Newharth]

And they escape at the end in a hot air balloon, which I was tickled by Randall had pointed out. It's probably the only movie escape ever that happened. Happens in a hot air balloon.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, yeah, it's probably the only. No, I shouldn't say that. It's dumb. Let's just say there's movies like Volcano and like the idea that, oh, this volcano is just erupting at the exact Dante's peak. Yeah. Dante's Peak and Volcano both made believe in 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 aliens rapes to death.

[Spencer Newharth]

What, what do you remember about the movie when it came out in 1995? Was it like on your radar? Did you love it?

[Randall Williams]

I don't remember much about when it came out. I was still just re watching Jurassic park mostly. But I remember in elementary school, we used to run around like apes on our knuckles.

[Spencer Newharth]

Not you.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, I can't believe it.

[Randall Williams]

I could still. I bet I could run faster than some men can run. Run on all four. I can run faster on all fours than I can on two legs.

[Spencer Newharth]

I believe you.

[Randall Williams]

And we'd run around and that move that they use when they take down Herkimer Homoka where they sweep his leg out.

[Spencer Newharth]

Tim Curry.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, they run by him, they sweep his leg out, and then they all crowd around and start pounding him. We did that at recess.

[Spencer Newharth]

Ah.

[Randall Williams]

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 Herkimer Homocus.

[Spencer Newharth]

This movie has just a lot of faces that you're like, oh, that lady's in these four other things. Yeah, that guy, you know, was like a strong player. In the early 2000s. I wasn't ready for Congo to have like that many names attached to it. Phil, any other thoughts on Congo?

[Phil Taylor]

I hate to be a big poop on the party. I still have not seen the entire movie like you, Spencer. I saw bits and parts of it growing up. And then yesterday when we tried to watch it, there was just too much planning and prep going on. So I have failed in my duties as a media radio live participant.

[Randall Williams]

No, it's fine. And I think, like, if someone were to say, hey, Randall, that's not a meat eater movie club movie, I would say to them, okay, but I feel like it's a movie that revolves around wildlife, which is always. I don't know, it does something.

[Phil Taylor]

We've seen the knot. Spencer has twisted himself in to accommodate certain trivia, the categories and everything. And I think. I think he pulls it off with a plum. And so I am. I'm. This is absolutely a meat eater radio.

[Randall Williams]

There's an expedition into the wilderness involving animals directly.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yep.

[Randall Williams]

They've got guns, they've got tents, they've got very primitive satellite communications. I loved all the technology.

[Spencer Newharth]

As you pointed out when you said they're carrying computers, not like a MacBook, they're carrying like a full on deck desktop setup.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. And Dylan Walsh is just wearing a JanSport backpack like you'd expect to see a second grader wearing on his first, like, week of school.

[Spencer Newharth]

What was the last movie club we did? Oh, the legacy of a whitetail deer hunter. That's back to back movies that had Mary Poppins backpacks where it's just limitless about what you can pull out of them.

[Randall Williams]

Excuse me, I have a churro in my mouth.

[Spencer Newharth]

How's it taste?

[Randall Williams]

It's very delicious, but very kind. I went back when I was writing the piece about how 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. Several of them are just crates. And then I was looking at the scenes where you could see sort of the whole line of porters, and I really don't think I ever counted more than eight or nine of them.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. What are the odds that the three main characters are the only six survivors? The whole thing.

[Randall Williams]

But one of the porters. While I was doing this, I noticed one of the porters just had two big brown leather suitcases just under his arms like this. Which I thought was a really nice. A really nice touch. Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Any other thoughts on Congo before we move on?

[Randall Williams]

Not really. I mean, I just. I love. I love Jurassic Park. I love Congo.

[Phil Taylor]

I mean, that's the thing about this movie. It was clearly made in the immediate wake of the success of Jurassic Jurassic park and like another Michael Crichton property. And 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.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, and there's. There was the one scene where the guy is 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 Nedry is trying to take the Barbasol canister full of dinosaur DNA to the south docks and he runs the jeep off the road before he's killed by the dilophosaurus, you know, and he's like trying to get the.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah. There are a lot of visual sort of cues that. That they are trying to make you think of Jurassic Park.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

I bet this is 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 back backpack to like pull off all of these stunts when you're reading the book.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

But when they, like, you know, when your eyes have to see it happening, you just may be a little more forgiving. So as a book, I bet it's

[Randall Williams]

a better experience 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. 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. Straight out of the movie. Although as I did some research, there are, there are differences.

[Spencer Newharth]

I think I said this last week, but when you look up, I don't read a lot of horror fiction, but if you like, see a list of someone recommending 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.

[Randall Williams]

I'll pick up Congo and Congo. The book is from 1980. 15 years. Yeah, it's bizarre.

[Spencer Newharth]

Any other thoughts before Movie Club takes its last breath?

[Randall Williams]

No. Why don't we, why don't we take this old horse out back and put one right between the eyes? Okay.

[Spencer Newharth]

The next thing we're gonna do then is we have a special message from Brent Reeves to say goodbye to Meat Eater Radio Live. Phil.

[Randall Williams]

As we bid a fond farewell to Meat Eater Radio Live, I'm reminded of the times that I hosted that weekly

[Steven Rinella]

endeavor and the enjoyment I received from

[Randall Williams]

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 and shoot the bull with a bunch of like minded souls for about an hour. I'll miss flying up to host a show on a moment's notice and no

[Steven Rinella]

one else can do it, seeing all

[Randall Williams]

my compadres that work out of the office in Bozeman. So here's hoping that we come up with something else that'll allow me to venture up there and see my friends and talk with the folks who follow what we do. Since I don't have anything to drink, I will, I will raise this crescent wrench fair winds and following seeds. Oh, that's great.

[Spencer Newharth]

Very good. Okay, I think let's maybe do our final hot tip off of the day. We got a. We got a few more segments to go, but Corey Calkins, our third host, is currently getting his tattoo. So after, 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 gonna play the sound this time, Phil?

[Phil Taylor]

No, no, I don't think we're gonna

[Spencer Newharth]

do it this time doesn't have it.

[Randall Williams]

Sack vengeance.

[Spencer Newharth]

H o t g I p r

[Randall Williams]

let's all do a h h o

[Spencer Newharth]

t t I d r let's all

[Phil Taylor]

do a hot tiba Sorry, Zach. What's up, meat eater?

[Randall Williams]

Zach ventures from Stoughton, Wisconsin with a hot tip.

[Phil Taylor]

Trolling crankbaits for walleyes in the summer can be fun, but also frustrating if you run into floating weeds and algae.

[Randall Williams]

I found a cheap, efficient way of

[Phil Taylor]

how to combat that and make your crank b baits weedless. Every walleye angler has these laying around.

[Randall Williams]

They're nightcrawler rigs, bottom bouncers.

[Phil Taylor]

And what you do is you take a pair of side cutters and cut right above the weight there and right

[Randall Williams]

above the swivel here, and you're left

[Phil Taylor]

with a good, nice, stiff piece of wire. And what you do with that is

[Randall Williams]

you attach it to your lead line

[Phil Taylor]

like so with a sparrow swivel on it, and then a couple foot leader

[Randall Williams]

down to your crankbait.

[Phil Taylor]

And what that'll do is it'll kind of push all those floating weeds out of the way.

[Randall Williams]

Push that algae out of the way. You could keep them angled down.

[Phil Taylor]

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 a piece cheap way to keep your crankbaits clean on a dirty lake. Thank you, Thomas.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, this is Thomas Yoder. I am showing you all a hot tip for meat eater. Hot tip off. If you're out trying to fish

[Randall Williams]

and

[Spencer Newharth]

you need to restart 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 poke 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 handed.

[Randall Williams]

You get the idea.

[Spencer Newharth]

Nice, steady, even tension. Good action. Okay, that was our final hot tip off. Wow.

[Randall Williams]

That's it.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's it. And our audience is going to decide who gets his final 100 meat eater gift card. We have Zach who had the bottom bouncer crank bait cheat. And then we have Thomas who had the headrest line spooling pole is live. Okay, Randall, what do you think? Who gets your vote?

[Randall Williams]

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 Through a roll, through a spool of line, and then I'm, like, holding that with my toes.

[Spencer Newharth]

Right. Or you have, like, an unwilling spouse

[Randall Williams]

who's just mildly annoyed, and then you're, like, explaining, less tension. More tension.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. Well, maybe we should trade. Maybe I should hold the. The pencil and then you do the reeling instead.

[Randall Williams]

Exactly. We've all been there. We've all known what that's like. I. 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 head's at.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. You know, clever. Probably more applicable to more folks. I liked Zach's bottom bouncer trick. I pulled a lot of cr. I've never seen somebody do that before. That 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 12ft 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 gonna catch a lot of fish with that. And also keep. Keep the weeds off your plug. So I. I would give my vote to Zach.

[Randall Williams]

Phil, what's the chat saying here?

[Phil Taylor]

We can wrap this up because it's pretty. Pretty blowout. Not a blowout, but with 63% of the vote, the winner is Thomas Y with the car seat headrest.

[Randall Williams]

That's great.

[Spencer Newharth]

Very good.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, Phil, Phil, you've. You've really shot, like, the name, noises, pronunciation, associations, emphasis, whatever you want to call it. You really were shining star up until the very end.

[Phil Taylor]

Thank you so much.

[Spencer Newharth]

Until the end. 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.

[Randall Williams]

So 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 is going to be more.

[Phil Taylor]

Actually this radio life.

[Randall Williams]

And it's pretty good. And the person's staff are all standing off the stage, like, looking at you,

[Phil Taylor]

like, what did he say?

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. So the. The hot tip offs may or may not live on Beyond Radio Live. We'll see. Keep those ideas fresh, though, in case we bring them back. We'll have a different email address for you to send them to. Thomas Wins our final hot tip off.

[Randall Williams]

How do. Do we know how Corey's tattoo's going to.

[Spencer Newharth]

We. Jake is gonna 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. Let's do some listener feedback. Phil, let's do some listener feedback.

[Phil Taylor]

Gosh. Okay.

[Spencer Newharth]

You have anything? And then after that, I mean, I haven't.

[Randall Williams]

I got an idea.

[Phil Taylor]

If you.

[Randall Williams]

I got an idea.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, give us an idea. You gonna share the idea?

[Phil Taylor]

Okay. Okay. What's going on here? Oh, man, I really hope he picks up.

[Randall Williams]

Hey, Ryan, you're live on the Meat Eater 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.

[Phil Taylor]

You're.

[Randall Williams]

You've been a central part of this show throughout its entire run, so wanted to.

[Phil Taylor]

What a marathon.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. Have you been watching this whole time? And what an honor. What. What are you. What. What are you doing right now, buddy?

[Phil Taylor]

kind of spread that public land, public wildlife.

[Randall Williams]

Love. That's beautiful. That's beautiful.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

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. 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, you know, compelled to follow along. It's a good, good place to share knowledge, share laughs, and, you know, inform each other. Yeah, well, that's great, Cal. The. The audience is happy to hear from you. Right now I'm seeing messages on the screen. One man says, holy did not expect. Oh, no, sorry. He said, holy did not expect this call to still be going.

[Phil Taylor]

No, not. Not this call.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, not the call. Sorry, I misspoke. He's just shocked that we're still doing this.

[Spencer Newharth]

This.

[Randall Williams]

But there are other people. There are other people expressing surprise that you're on the phone, and they're glad to hear from you. So Corey ckins just walked in here. I. I don't want to keep it too long, But I just thought it was only right that we check in with you, sir. Well, no, thank you very much for. For, you know, thinking of me Just. Just out here, you know, whip, Whipping up support for public lands, waters and wildlife. God knows we need it. Arkansas is a great place to do that. Yeah, absolutely.

[Randall Williams]

So we get.

Well, well, here's the thing. It's not even just that I. Once this show ends, it's not like I get in my car and drive home. I have to make the podcast version of this six and a half hour show. So I'm gonna be here for a little bit longer. And I have a family at home waiting for me. So we have a few more segments to do. And I don't wanna skip anything.

[Spencer Newharth]

We do not have families at home. So we got. We could just keep going.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. Next up, fake news. Phil, should we do fake news?

[Phil Taylor]

Yes. Let me just bring up the slide here.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. The end is in sight. Okay. Our next segment is fake news.

[Randall Williams]

You sure about that?

[Phil Taylor]

It's a meat eater.

[Randall Williams]

Radio live Fake news.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, we have our third fake out of the day.

[Randall Williams]

Oh my God.

[Spencer Newharth]

My cameo budget. I actually fit three people into my $100.

[Randall Williams]

How did you manage to get such great cameos? Only $100.

[Spencer Newharth]

This last one may leave you wanting a little more. This is it.

[Randall Williams]

Red from the island boys.

[Spencer Newharth]

You probably don't even recognize recognize this person. So I'll have to do some explaining afterwards. Go ahead, Phil.

[Giannis Patelis]

Phil.

[Steven Rinella]

Randall.

[Randall Williams]

Spencer. What's up? It's the boobs. Coming to you now. Direct from humboldt, north coast of California in the redwoods. Well, meat suit, the mediator seats and myself want to wish you condolences on your cancellation. But hey, you guys lost to the best of those, man to expect. But anyways. Yeah, Spencer, you sound like you're the. The. The brains of the group.

[Steven Rinella]

And they wanted to know a fact.

[Randall Williams]

Those. Those offshore rocks down there, if you can see them. Supposedly that's where people say they see squatches swim out and get muscle. You see, that's where the squatches swim out and get.

[Phil Taylor]

Up on this peak.

[Randall Williams]

Oh my God.

[Spencer Newharth]

Wow.

[Randall Williams]

She has a great place to do a call. My throat starts. I gotta do a whoop.

[Spencer Newharth]

Did you hear that response?

[Randall Williams]

You say my throat is thrashed. Anyways, you guys keep it squatchy.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, keep it scratchy.

[Giannis Patelis]

If you don't know.

[Spencer Newharth]

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 recognized 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 in fact did one. I think it was in Underwood, South Dakota. New Orleans. Wonderwood, South Dakota, maybe. Anyway, that's.

[Randall Williams]

You can't make that up.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's who Bobo was. And his fact was that, you know, that's a spot where you see the sasquatch swim around and build their muscles. So my 100 cameo got me three celebrities.

[Randall Williams]

I misunderstood. I thought he was swimming to, like, catch muscles, but he's swimming to build his muscles.

[Spencer Newharth]

I don't know. You could be right as well. I like your version better.

[Phil Taylor]

I was. I think I'm with random handle. I think that's what he meant.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, I like your version. That's even better.

[Randall Williams]

I like it better than Sasquatches are engaged in fitness. He is ripped.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, yeah. So that was Bobo, a person that probably 1% of our audience recognize. And then I like how he said that the reason our podcast is getting canceled is because we're going up against Bobo's podcast.

[Randall Williams]

Can't compete.

[Phil Taylor]

Russell. Russell Wicklin says, I thought the. Which was off. I stand correct.

[Spencer Newharth]

That's right. So that. That is, I promise. Now that's my final kick.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, that's good.

[Steven Rinella]

Let's do Fake news for real. Play the drop Phil oh yes.

[Phil Taylor]

Where is fake news?

[Randall Williams]

Let's play fake news. A pet tap in Russia. Pizza.

[Phil Taylor]

Nothing I miss. So is that so?

[Randall Williams]

This opportunity comes once every few weeks.

[Phil Taylor]

You can do anything you set your minds to, guys. Except like teleport or fly or some stuff like that.

[Spencer Newharth]

I've never caught that part at the end. Phil what a little Easter egg.

[Phil Taylor]

Well, there's another Easter egg, I don't think, because people just start talking over it Immediately during the new tiebreaker on trivia, I slowed down Doug song for his trivia song. So, like very faint and echoey in the background after it goes.

[Steven Rinella]

It's the Meat Eater podcast.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Phil Taylor]

So, you know, just listen for that

[Spencer Newharth]

next time if you've made it to hour seven of our Meat 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. His job is to figure out which one is true. Take it away, Randall.

[Randall Williams]

Question, headline one. Yeah, I guess you point. We used to do full headlines. Now just kind of fill in the blank multiple.

[Spencer Newharth]

No, this is better. This is. This is the way to do it. Okay, I like this.

[Randall Williams]

Blank Lawmakers weigh grizzly bear comeback plan after 100 year absence. I'm going to do the Brody slam. Blank Lawmakers weigh grizzly bear comeback plan after 100. Your absence. Your choices are Nebraska, Colorado, California, or Mexican.

[Spencer Newharth]

Interesting to go with D there.

[Randall Williams]

Mexican, I guess. I don't know why I made it Mexican and not Mexico. You know what you're talking about.

[Spencer Newharth]

They're Mexican lawmakers.

[Randall Williams]

I did this late at night.

[Spencer Newharth]

They're Mexican lawmakers.

[Phil Taylor]

They're from South Dakota, but they're Mexican.

[Randall Williams]

Sorry. This.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's an important part. Important part of the headline.

[Randall Williams]

Cory's got an answer.

[Spencer Newharth]

Read this headline. You did?

[Randall Williams]

Oh, you just. We could have skipped it. Yeah. California.

[Spencer Newharth]

C is for California.

[Randall Williams]

California. The tank is getting one point each for Corey and Spencer. All right. Look at that headline. Geez.

[Spencer Newharth]

California lawmaker.

[Randall Williams]

Let's just move on because these guys have already read this article.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, I haven't. Tell me more, please.

[Randall Williams]

Well, there's a new proposal, Senate Bill 1305, that would require 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 whether grizzlies could survive on their own in California without harming the environment. The department need to finish the plan and send it to lawmakers and other state offices by June 30, 2028. Yeah, send them.

[Spencer Newharth]

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 grizzly stolen valor.

[Randall Williams]

Quick, we got to move on to headline two. We've lost 30. 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 egg skin care, salmon oil skin care or salmon sperm skin care. Okay, 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. Oh yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

So I'm so sorry we. We can't play Quip Lash. Maybe we'll get to it eventually. Spencer wrote some great custom prompts for it. Cuz you can make your own custom game. And one of my plans for this morning was to test out the custom game. So I didn't eat when we were live. Turns out I think still did that.

[Randall Williams]

Hey, we're live, Phil. That's the one thing that someone remembers from this whole.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, failed experience weeks ago.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah, but maybe, maybe we'll do it on some. Some extra live stream at some point.

[Randall Williams]

God, I want the viewership to go up so much more.

[Spencer Newharth]

Well, I think we're now encountering a time when people got to go home and like live their real life to

[Phil Taylor]

their kids and have

[Spencer Newharth]

cook supper.

[Randall Williams]

Do we both have our answers?

[Spencer Newharth]

I got my answer.

[Randall Williams]

Yep. Spencer says oil. Corey says sperm. The correct answer. Sperm. Oh no. Look at that headline. It began as most beauty crazes now do in glossy clinics and on celebrity skin. The so called Salmon sperm facial quickly earned a reputation for delivering glassy, luminous complexions. Soon, whispers of Fish Day DNA and miracle glow treatments traveled from aesthetic clinics in soul to Instagram feeds.

[Spencer Newharth]

Hmm.

[Randall Williams]

But despite the eyebrow raising name, no raw sperm is being applied to the face. The active ingredient is pdrn, short for Poly Deoxyribonucleotide. I nailed it. A compound derived from purified DNA fragments taken from salmon sperm cells.

[Spencer Newharth]

Here's why I didn't think it would be sperm. Because it's not sperm. It's milt is like the technical answer.

[Giannis Patelis]

Right?

[Spencer Newharth]

But also, they wouldn't put Milt in a headline.

[Randall Williams]

Look at this. Look at this Instagram post. It's from a. It's from an info influencer. Watch me. Watch me inject salmon sperm in my face.

[Spencer Newharth]

How many likes?

[Randall Williams]

Thousands.

[Spencer Newharth]

Hundreds.

[Phil Taylor]

323.

[Randall Williams]

And that was. But that was two days ago.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, we'll do that on the same stream we do Quip Lash. We'll do salmon Milt facials as well.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, I encountered the term regenerative aesthetics.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

While doing my research for this stem cells. Yeah, just like things, you know, it's. 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.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yep.

[Randall Williams]

All right. 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.

[Spencer Newharth]

Interesting.

[Randall Williams]

Hiker shares disappointing video after climbing to the top of Mount Everest.

[Spencer Newharth]

Also negative.

[Randall Williams]

I wonder. So disgusting and so sad. This was way too easy. The clouds ruined our view. What a waste of money.

[Spencer Newharth]

Those are all. Those are whatever three fake ones you have. There are three good fake ones. You did. You did a nice job on this one.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, thank you. Thank you.

[Spencer Newharth]

Is this the last one?

[Randall Williams]

This must be. No, this is it. This must be why our viewers have bumped up to 9:53. Again, climbing back towards that 1100 mark.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yep. Yep.

[Phil Taylor]

Listen, I, I, I know you're kind of joking, Randall, but I gotta say, it's, it's a gosh dang miracle that we had a thousand people watching the show the entire time. Anyone who's tuned in, like, I genuinely appreciate you watching this show. It's, it's like you've, you've blown, blown me away.

[Randall Williams]

I truly thought there was going to be a point today where we didn't have anybody there. We were just laughing about how there's no one there.

[Spencer Newharth]

I thought after hour four, it would be like double digits.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

For a while.

[Phil Taylor]

I truly did as well.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. Who's. You guys have your answers?

[Spencer Newharth]

I've got my answer.

[Randall Williams]

Cory's got two answers.

[Giannis Patelis]

I got

[Randall Williams]

Cory. Corey says, what a waste of money. Spencer says, clouds. Oh, we got a zero percenter. The answer is a discuss. So disgusting and so sad. The greatest peak in the world has become one of the greatest exhibits of evidence for cynics who subscribe to the idea that humans ruin everything we do. Mount Everest is covered in waste, including lots of human excrement. Or excrement, as most people people say. On display was a dirty camp that featured waste tents, discarded equipment and other debris from expeditions. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Each climber leaves about 18 pounds of trash on Mount Everest.

[Spencer Newharth]

Wow.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. Lots of dookie. Lots of oxygen bottles, but yeah, dookie Too sad. Yeah. So that was fun. Corey, I think you won.

[Spencer Newharth]

Cory did win. He got two. I got one.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. Follow up with Jake for your prize. Yeah, I will.

[Spencer Newharth]

You win a subscription to whoever wrote those articles. So.

[Randall Williams]

Meat Eater Premium.

[Spencer Newharth]

I'll just take this Hot Coors.

[Randall Williams]

I wouldn't drink those. Excuse me. Coors heavy. I would drink those. They taste really bad.

[Spencer Newharth]

We are getting towards the end.

[Phil Taylor]

Do we want to do our final goodbye video?

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah. We have a message from Mark Kenyon.

[Randall Williams]

Oh.

[Spencer Newharth]

To say goodbye to Meat Eater Radio live. Let's hear it, Phil. As the same saying goes, I hate

[Randall Williams]

to see you go, but I love to watch you leave. And that has been true here with this last episode. Awesome work, guys.

[Spencer Newharth]

Thanks for all the hard work.

[Randall Williams]

Thanks for the memories, thanks for the laughs. Thanks for helping me discover my true passion for play by play.

[Spencer Newharth]

Announcing of fishing, which I discovered on

[Randall Williams]

a one minute fishing episode once. And man, he was quite good at run. So cheers to good times and cheers to.

[Phil Taylor]

To what's next.

[Spencer Newharth]

Hmm. That was a little too earnest. I don't trust him.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

I feel like that's the most honest and genuine thing that's been said.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

On this entire live stream.

[Spencer Newharth]

I don't know if I'd like it.

[Randall Williams]

Mark doesn't mess around. No, he doesn't. That's a good guy too. A lot of good guys on the show today.

[Spencer Newharth]

We broke a record for good guys on the show.

[Randall Williams]

Thanks, Mark.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, we got another, we got a couple more segments.

[Phil Taylor]

I've got two more segments.

[Randall Williams]

Are we going to make, are we going to fit, Are we going to make it under the deadline here, Phil?

[Phil Taylor]

Oh, yeah, we, we, we got it.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, our next segment is top threes.

[Randall Williams]

God, it's a good one.

[Phil Taylor]

Turn the volume up here and try to hide.

[Spencer Newharth]

Phil, who was going first for the top three?

[Phil Taylor]

That's a great question, Spencer.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, I'm going first. Here are the top three top threes that I never got to do on Meat Eater 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, I would tell you I've been to 21 of them. I'm going to visit my 22nd in May. And I would have told you that number three is Olympic national park in Washington. Number two is Redwood national park in California. And the number one, the best national park is Yellowstone in Wyoming. Montana, Idaho. 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. 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 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 off season, visit during a weekday. And if that doesn't work out, if you have to go on a Saturday in July, still do it. It's. It's a place that you should. Should see, and it's, like, totally worth it, I'd say.

[Randall Williams]

All right.

[Spencer Newharth]

The number two top three that I never got to do is office dogs. 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. So Bear had to be on the list. And then number one is Reva's dog, Riley. He's a rottweiler.

[Randall Williams]

He.

[Spencer Newharth]

I think he's eight years old now. He's just such a good boy. He's got a nice coat on him. He's real handsome. He's real well behaved. He knows a couple tricks. He'll shake, he'll sit. So that's nice. I love all the office dogs, but it's not even really close for me. I think Riley's number one. He's the best of them all. Any feedback on Riley the office dog?

[Randall Williams]

Another good guy.

[Spencer Newharth]

Riley is a good guy. He's a good boy. Yep. The number one top three I never got to do is my favorite favorite restaurants. 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 Katz's Deli in New York City. And the number one is Ginger Pig in Denver. It's Asian fusion. It's a 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. It's casual enough where you could, like, show up in sweatpants, but it's also nice enough you could go on a date. You need to order the Hong Kong French toast, the Korean fried chicken with aioli, and then always get the Beijing dumplings. It's my favorite restaurant in the world. I Wish it wasn't 10 hours away. I love ginger pink.

[Randall Williams]

Yum.

[Spencer Newharth]

Always. Also a location in Boulder, Colorado. So those are the top three top threes. I never got to do sad.

[Randall Williams]

Can you. What if you wear sweats on your dates? Yeah, you can wear. Either wear sweatpants or go on a date.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, then you should do that. Both of them. All right, who's the next top three?

[Phil Taylor]

Let's go. Ahead and do Randall.

[Randall Williams]

All right. I had. 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 problems while doing something hunting and fishing related.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay.

[Randall Williams]

Nice. Oh, no, those are right.

[Phil Taylor]

Just don't, don't. Sorry. Yeah, I have no choice but to spoil it for you guys.

[Randall Williams]

Chill, man. Just chill. Well, number one was driving a jet boat up river and pulled the. Went to start it again and pulled the cord out and the motor didn't fire. So 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 ended up. Managed like to land it at a different lodge and they fixed it for us. That's a very memorable vehicle problem. Another one is a buddy got his truck stuck on the edge of a. A like a 200 foot. I wouldn't call it a cliff, but there's nothing that would have stopped your truck from sliding off.

[Spencer Newharth]

Hate that.

[Randall Williams]

So I. I went up there. This is opening morning of bear 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, this should have been number one. As I was backing out, my chains rubbed up against his tire because I sort of slid down into him. Chains ripped off, cut my brakes, brake line so that I'm backing up without any brakes.

[Spencer Newharth]

And the chain broke your brake line?

[Randall Williams]

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 wrecker up there. And he got us out. But that was dumb. That was a long day. I had an honorable mention for one night. We were hunting deer out east of here on my buddy's boat. And 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, ripped the, the stake out that we'd tied it to, like, as the anchor.

[Spencer Newharth]

Could you see it?

[Randall Williams]

No, that's just gone.

[Spencer Newharth]

Gone.

[Randall Williams]

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 it 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 the number one thing I had was my buddy and I were dove hunting, and 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 his keys were in the vest. Oh. So then we just had to walk. We just had to walk out all the way out of this wildlife area, down a road. Eventually. We never got service. I think we got picked up by a cop before we got service. But then he came back and what

[Spencer Newharth]

state were you in?

[Randall Williams]

In Ohio.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay. A Honda Accord. That's the appropriate dove hunting vehicle.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, yeah, it was great. Yeah, it was great. Um, but yeah, just a lot of fun memories. I also had two other categories of scariest moments where I nearly died or thought I was going to die. And then cool encounters with animals were not hunting. But I won't go into those because it's 5:24.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, Corey, I think you're up next then for the top threes.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, I'll need to refer to some photos here.

[Spencer Newharth]

What's your list today, Corey? Okay, so these are my top three

[Randall Williams]

most memorable horrible moments. Being in this room for Meat Eater Radio Lives. Oh, don't like we got napkins if you guys start tearing up here, buddy. It's a great category. Let's see. Number three would have been Phil's tiki mugs that he broke out for top three.

[Phil Taylor]

I really appreciate that.

[Randall Williams]

I had no idea. I knew you were a tiki mug

[Spencer Newharth]

guy, but this is like, beyond what

[Randall Williams]

I had originally thought and that I think that was maybe your number three mug. I don't believe that was your number.

[Phil Taylor]

No, I think. I think that that was my number one.

[Spencer Newharth]

Was it?

[Giannis Patelis]

Okay?

[Randall Williams]

Forgive me.

[Giannis Patelis]

Easier way.

[Spencer Newharth]

It's a fantastic.

[Phil Taylor]

I think I had three, and then I brought some. Some honorable mentions. Oh, that's like. I couldn't help myself.

[Spencer Newharth]

I feel like after you did that list, Phil, is when you got all the tiki mugs in your office, Were they all in there before?

[Phil Taylor]

They've all been in there. I've been slowly.

[Randall Williams]

Can I interject? Seth Jones, 1410, writes, Shout out to my son Henry. We were potty training and he just peed on my arm Because I was paying attention to meeting the radio lives.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yo. Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Shout out to Seth and shout out to Henry.

[Phil Taylor]

Yes.

[Randall Williams]

Pete cleans up easy. Sorry to interrupt. I just enjoyed that. Yeah, Number two here, Phil.

[Giannis Patelis]

Oh, yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

What I put up here, honestly.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, well, it Was the Christmas episode back.

[Randall Williams]

Way back.

[Spencer Newharth]

Two Christmas 2024.

[Randall Williams]

We were all young man.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah.

[Randall Williams]

Two Christmases goes. That was the very first Christmas on this show, if you can believe it. There's a screenshot of when Santa made an appearance.

[Spencer Newharth]

He's given Spencer a nice head rub to down. And he's got his bloody sack of toys.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, his game bag of toys that we all gifted each other.

[Steven Rinella]

Oh, boy, that was fun.

[Randall Williams]

Blind Santa. What do you call it?

[Spencer Newharth]

And then Santa did one minute fishing after that. Oh, yes.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, that was a good day.

[Spencer Newharth]

Cory, you were with him.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, we had a lot of fun that day. Cory took the canoe to a local pond. Good guy.

[Phil Taylor]

Hey, I had one of these after my vasectomy a few weeks ago. Oh, bloody sack.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, good one.

[Randall Williams]

Thank you. Breaking out the jokes. Okay. And my number one most memorable moment being in this room for me eater.

[Spencer Newharth]

Radio Live would have had to have

[Randall Williams]

been when we brought in the turkey. Was it broken?

[Phil Taylor]

Brogan, the turkey.

[Randall Williams]

Alyssa Smith's turkey came in and just the look on Randall's face was everything.

[Spencer Newharth]

What's the problem with turkeys again?

[Randall Williams]

You just don't trust them. I don't have anything in common with them. Well, that's for sure. They have all the hollow bones and they only. They only evacuate themselves from one hole.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, yeah.

[Randall Williams]

But you.

[Spencer Newharth]

You love Thanksgiving and they hate it.

[Randall Williams]

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.

[Spencer Newharth]

Maybe next time.

[Randall Williams]

Just not. Not a bird. Yeah, if we can help it. Hard to beat those three moments.

[Spencer Newharth]

That was a big bird.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, that was a lot of fun.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay, I'm gonna. I'm gonna suggest something, and I might just kill everything when I suggest it. I feel like that was a great moment to wrap the show on.

[Spencer Newharth]

Oh, you want to end it there?

[Phil Taylor]

Well, our last segment is great. I think this is just poor planning on our part. I feel like whatever the last segment is would have been better earlier in the show.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, but Phil.

[Spencer Newharth]

Right, Phil.

[Randall Williams]

Oh, yeah. I guess we have to do it.

[Spencer Newharth]

What about some listener feedback? Can we talk to the audience one more time back before we say goodbye? Goodbye.

[Phil Taylor]

I. I don't. I don't. I don't have anything specific to. To. Because I've been reading a lot of it, but not really flagging anything. So. Yeah, I don't know. I guess.

[Spencer Newharth]

We love you guys.

[Phil Taylor]

Take a couple minutes to. To wrap it up here.

[Spencer Newharth]

Thank you for watching. Thank you for listening. Media Radio Live was fun this was a thing that, like, didn't really exist. And then there 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.

[Randall Williams]

And so they said, that's the least bad out of all the ideas that have been proposed for a third kind of.

[Phil Taylor]

Kind of true.

[Spencer Newharth]

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 called Doug Dern. He's be like, oh, yeah, the morel mushroom harvest is looking good over here. And then we called 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? And so that's what it was. And now here we are 18 months later. So it's a fun journey.

[Phil Taylor]

And this is kind of the OG crew. Here is Corey, after Corinne stepped away, Corey, whether it was his choice or not, stepped in to produce this show for a few. For a while, several months back when

[Randall Williams]

the show was flawless.

[Phil Taylor]

Remember those days?

[Randall Williams]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

And Jake, Jake isn't here now, but he's done a great job. Still 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, 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 went.

[Spencer Newharth]

He's getting tattooed up right now because

[Randall Williams]

he's been gone for a minute. That's sick.

[Phil Taylor]

Okay, well, if he gets back, I

[Randall Williams]

hope it's all over his chest.

[Phil Taylor]

But then, yeah, I just want to say, like, everyone just stepped up incredibly. 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 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 Lake Pickle was a part of it. Jordan Sillers, Tony Peterson, Cal, Steve Brody, Giannis, Corinne, Clay. I'm sure I'm missing you, Maggie Hudlow.

[Randall Williams]

Brogan the turkey.

[Phil Taylor]

Brogan the turkey.

[Giannis Patelis]

Santa.

[Phil Taylor]

Santa Claus.

[Randall Williams]

Santa Claus.

[Phil Taylor]

Big ups.

[Randall Williams]

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 Spencer and I bring a yin and a yang to this show. But you're the, the, the dots in the yin and yang. You know how when you.

[Spencer Newharth]

Yeah, yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

You know how there's like, there's the dots in there. Yeah, yeah. I mean, one's white, one's black.

[Randall Williams]

Every week we decide what we're gonna do and then everybody kind of taps their feet into the last second, then sends Phil a bunch of shit. The has to organize in this really complex live streaming platform and Phil does it every week without a. I was gonna say with a smile. So Freudian slip there.

[Spencer Newharth]

An angry smile sometimes.

[Randall Williams]

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. Been a real joy.

[Phil Taylor]

It's been a real fun outlet to just. 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.

[Randall Williams]

Yeah. I mean, it's. It has been nice to have kind of that we used to call them trump cards in your back back pocket. Or you can say, what are they going to do, fire me? Who's going to do radio live next week? So now we got to watch our, Watch our P's and Q's.

[Spencer Newharth]

I didn't think of that yet.

[Randall Williams]

Be tough.

[Spencer Newharth]

Thank you, Phil. Thank you, Randall. Thank you, Cory.

[Randall Williams]

Thank you to all our listeners. If anybody out there stuck around for all 6 hours, 36 minutes and 31 seconds of this journey to the center of the madness. Thank you. We appreciate you. And I think the, the interaction with the listeners has been the best part of this. So.

[Giannis Patelis]

Yeah.

[Phil Taylor]

Yeah. And I think that's the last thing we should say. Like, I mean, holy crap. You guys absolutely showed up today. I, I honestly, I honestly can't believe

[Randall Williams]

somebody say holy crap. They're like trying to impress a T ball team. Holy crap.

[Phil Taylor]

Well, we just said we don't have that trump card anymore, so we got to keep it buttoned up. Holy shit. Thank you guys so much. I mean, not even just this last show where you showed up in incredible numbers, but just all the people who have been here. I mean, guys like Mogor and Nate and Spencer, the other Spencer.

[Randall Williams]

Shout out Leland hart.

[Phil Taylor]

Leland Hart, RT4. I mean, there's something I know I'm forgetting a lot of you and don't feel bad. It's just. Yeah. Thanks for being here every week. And for those who only tuned in with when they could, that was great as well. I mean, thanks for making the show what it became.

[Spencer Newharth]

And here's the weird part. We got another podcast coming out next week, so.

[Phil Taylor]

And we kind of don't know what it's going to be.

[Spencer Newharth]

We have no idea.

[Phil Taylor]

It's kind of up to Steve, I

[Randall Williams]

guess, living on the edge.

[Spencer Newharth]

Okay, we're going to say goodbye and Phil is going to play that music video one more time, which is our best goodbye we can give you.

[Randall Williams]

Hell yeah.

[Spencer Newharth]

Thank you.

[Randall Williams]

Let's watch the video. Viewers just tank.

[Spencer Newharth]

Thank you, Meat Eater Radio Live audience. We love you. We'll see you guys next week with a whole new show. Bye.

[Randall Williams]

See you guys.

[Phil Taylor]

Bye.

[Randall Williams]

Another turning point A fork stuck in the road Time grabs you by 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 learned in time it's something unpredictable but in the end is right I hope you had the time of your life. So take the photographs and still frames in your mind Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time Tattoos and memories and that's keen on trial While for what it's worth it was worth all the while it's something unpredictable but in the end is right I hope you had the time of your life.

[Spencer Newharth]

O.

[Randall Williams]

It's something unpredictable but in the end it's right I hope you had the time of your life. It's something unpredictable but in the end it's right Goodbye, media radio life. Thank you.
