  • FRX11...Joe Blankenship, How Much For That Cast Iron?

    Welcome back ya'll!  We sit down again for a follow up on our first conversation with Joe Blankenship, the pickup man with a dutch oven condition!  We get an update on Cowboys Can Cook Facebook group, some dutch oven cooking tips, talk about some of the best steak's ever, places to stop and eat, and maybe some places ya shouldn't!   Joe travels the west plying his trade at rodeos and doing some camp cooking when he gets the chance.  Keep your eyes peeled and ya just might get invited to the campfire! 

    One thing both Joe and Micah agree on is, when you find yourself in Pendleton, stop by and see Jen and the crew at Virgil's at Cimmiyotti's for some the best steaks and world class hospitality!  https://www.virgilsatcimmiyottis.com 

    Special thanks to these folks who help Joe hit the road so he can pick up at some of the finest events in the west!

  • Season 2, Episode 10...I Am All That Is Man

    Thank you to the great team at B&K Auto for once again bringing you the Far Reaches!  For the second week in a row, the gang is short a Reacher, which is bound to happen with all the random stuff the gang get into.  However, Rawley, Joel and Micah press ahead as Richard deals with the perils of sorting cows on the desert!  The gang kick off the episode with the 3 way Reach Around and enjoy some laughs hearing about Joel's comedy club adventure and Ralls turning cows out to pasture. Joel brings up some great thoughts around technology and ranching and how to bring the two closer together while not destroying either.   Micah does his best to fill in for Richard and break down the Entertainment Spotlight around Red Meat Republic by Joshua Spect, although it is long, definitely worth the effort!  The gang circles back to talk about what car Joel should get again and Ralls brightens the day with his choice of the next Entertainment Spotlight...Austin Powers, International Man of Mystery.   During the Pendleton Mixer and Cigar Intellectual Moment of the Week, the crew tackles a question by a listen in North Carolina about beverages at lunch during business.   When they finally get around to Grindin the Gears some great debate kicks off around defunding the police and the lack of faith in the news.  They finish off by exploring the virtues of Ranch Hand Bumpers during Buying Stuff and try and end on a high note with some of the best things of the week.  All in all, they persevere despite the lack of the Bradbury and look forward to what the coming week will hold.  Ya'll sit back and enjoy the latest!
