Mike opens episode 100 with the long-awaited air horn, finally cashed in after ninety-nine episodes of restraint, and hands the mic to Caitlin, who steps in as guest host with a list of questions for Mike and Mark about the podcast’s first hundred episodes.
They agree the biggest advancement has been the equipment, now recording multi-channel through a soundboard, and their own comfort on mic after two years. The worst mistake was the lost Women Ruhls episode, an hour-plus recording wiped out when two studio sessions opened at once, forcing a full re-record.
Mike’s biggest regret is missing the deer camp episode Mark recorded with their dad, Uncle Dick, and Uncle Sim, the one time in a hundred episodes he wasn’t in the room. Both brothers agree the real dream guest slot is Sim and Dick together, which kicks off a running wish list: a tribute episode for their grandfather Pop Grant, “the Sage,” a long-overdue one with Uncle Casey and Aunt Patty, and one built around family friend Dave Arnold’s old boat.
A tangent from Caitlin’s “dead horses” question leads to the real story behind it, a young cowboy they once found on the Montana prairie after his horse broke a leg, before the three debate which podcast topics are genuinely overdone.
Mike admits he’s wrestling with the podcast’s future, roughly six hundred hours of work over two years, but both brothers agree it’s worth continuing for the family stories CJ, Robert, and Emmit will want to hear someday. They run through future guest ideas, Ben Goldfarb, Nate Rott, Eric Rominger, Steven Rinella, and Tovar Cerulli, plus literary inspirations like Hemingway, Steinbeck, and Ivan Doig.
Closing out, they share real life: Scout the family lab gave everyone a health scare this week, Mark and Rachel are getting a German shorthair pointer puppy in October, and Mike previews what’s coming next, a Wyoming bighorn sheep hunt, the Dave Arnold boat episode, Balloon Fiesta, a Florida Keys and Disney trip, an Illinois deer hunt, and a tease of an “Outdoor Ruhls After Dark” bonus episode.
