About this episode
Clay Newcomb hosts Joe Wilson of the World Championship Squirrel Cookoff and singer, songwriter, and mule man, Hayden Powell who steals the show with his new song, "Montgomery County Shine." Topics discussed: that beeping in Clay’s office, Hayden’s history with music, the orogeny of the Ouachita Mountains, tips on beard trimming, making brisket look good in online photos, opinionated farriers and beekeepers, Clay’s new mule named "Slow Trap," slow wagon drivers, the history of why people think bear grease cures baldness, why we shouldn’t get too comfortable with moonshine, and Steve Rinella and Clay’s new audio book, "Meateater's American History: The Longhunters (1761-1775)." This is a great episode with lots of laughs to start the new year.
