Ep. 132: BEAR GREASE [RENDER] - Hillbilly Tarpon and Delta Life
About this episode
On this episode of the Bear Grease, Clay and Misty Newcomb host a couples edition of the Render featuring Josh “Landbridge” and Kristy Spielmaker, as well as Terrell “Thalweg” Spencer and his wife, former Rice Queen of Cross County Arkansas, Carla Spencer. The crew talks about Tim the Squirrel Dog’s recent and uncharacteristic exploration of the trash and is then joined by Bear Newcomb, who tells of the time he used a fly rod to catch a gar, or “Hillbilly Tarpon” as Clay refers to it. The discussion turns to the recent episode, “The Mississippi River - The Delta,” where they dig into the history of how the Delta continues to shape the culture and people of the region today.
