You're in good company. Where you from City, Montanada? All right? That's cowboy country. Steve had his way Our company would not be in Bozeman, it would be in Miles City, Montana. Really that's been that's been a couple of years there. I loved it. Yeah, but they'll probably be a I don't know, a revolt or some sort. Just a bunch of half employees sounded double. Yeah, they take off what they call us sixer plates, sixers, sixers sixers, they run us all out. Okay, So have you heard his play

two trees in a Lie before podcast? Okay, so old your mike up, nice and clothes. Okay, yeah, you got it, you can. We've learned has a quick timper. So yeah, I want to apologize if he freaks out. You're gonna hear three of us tell three stories about famous um historical figures from around the West Um of the less two years. You got to pick out which one of those stories is not true, which one is the lie? Seasoning tell his story, Spencer is gonna tell a story,

and I'm gonna tell a story. There's some fun facts about these folks, and you're gonna tell us which one is a life. I'm lucky for you. After we're all done, you're gonna we're gonna allow you to use the crowd to help you figure out which one is is live. I want to point out there's an honor system to play. No vesting round and you gotta self police. You gotta rat your neighbor's out. No vesting round on phones during this looking anything up. That's gonna sorry, Steve, it's gonna

kick us off, Miranda. Everyone knows that Brigadier General George Armstrong Custard died in eighteen seventy six, fifty four miles from where we're sitting right now in the Alberta Beart Theater.

They also know that just three years earlier before his death, three miles west of the Alberta Beart Theater, at a place known to local Native Americans as the place where the Mountain Lion lies, known to many of us now as Pompey's Pillar, Custer's troops got into a shootout with Sioue warriors while scouting the route of the railroad it still runs through this town and run through your native hometown.

And they know this. They know. There's some debate about whether the Sioux and Cheyenne warriors at the Battle of a Little Big Horn recognized Custer's dead body on the battlefield though a Cheyenne woman did later admit to using a sewing all to puncture holes into his ear drums so that in death he would better hear the warnings

of her people. And they know that Custer lost two brothers alongside himself at that battle, including a brother that had twice been decorated with the Congressional Medal of Honor. But what they don't know about Custer is that General Custer was not recognized on the battlefield because his long golden hair had been shorn off before leaving on the Little Big Horn campaign, and when he died, he was

not known by his hair. But his wife, Lippy Custer, later took the hair that he had cut off and had a wig made, and she would wear that wig at theatrical productions. How you feeling, You think you even need to listen to the to the other two? You can just you can just make your decision right now. I'll hand you on that the other two. Okay, Jet Smith? You ever heard of him? Jettisize Smith? All right? Well?

Most know that at the age of thirteen, he worked as a clerk on a eerie freighter where he met fur traders. Returning to Montreal, thus fueling is fired to become an explorer. Every knows that he was the first year American across the Mojave Desert and the first year

American to go overland to California. And they know that Jed Smith was attacked by a grizzly bear, had his scalp ripped off, and his buddy sewed it back on, and for the rest of his life because of that, he wore his hair long to hide that scar that he had basically from his eye all the way back

to his ear. Every knows after his death his effects showed up in tows like his journal and his knife, but almost nobody knows that his skull supposedly turned up in a curio shop on Montana Avenue in Billings, the not completely clean skull. It was identified by the scar and the long hair. An unknown cowboy bought the skull and it was never seen again. Now this one's true. Everyone knows that big knows George was one of the

west most notorious cattle rustlers. Now, he was kind of your run in the mill Horsey, but his crimes went from petty to felony. When he was having a train robbery in Wyoming that was bungled and he ended up killing two police officers. After that, George had a twenty dollar bounty on his head, so he fled up to your hometown, Miles City, Montana to hide out. And everyone knows that George was supposed to be laying low while he was in Montana, but he couldn't help himself. While

he was here. He ended up robbing another caravan and got away with another ten thousand dollars by the Powder River. At this point, George was feeling cocky, and one night he got drunker than Ryan Callahan at a saloon in Miles City, and he was bragging about killing those police officers. And now he had this big old bounty on his head and he's robbed all these trains and whatnot, And naturally, it didn't take long for law enforcement to show up,

arrest him, and send him back down to Wyoming. And everyone knows that after that George was lynched for his crimes. But the legend of Big Knowledge George doesn't end there, because what people don't know is that some local doctors took possession of his body so that they could study his brain and see what just made him so damn evil When they were done with their observations, they took his carcass and made a bunch of souvenirs out of it.

Here's what they had. This included an ash tray made from his skull, a mask made from his face, a medicine bag made from his chest skin including his nipples, and a pair of boots made from his thigh skin that were once worn by Wyoming's governor to a ball. Now, if you want to see him for yourself, you can go find him at some museums in Wyoming and Nebraska and a hunter and fifty years later, it's worth asking

yourself who was really the evil one? Was it Big Knows George for being a lifelong criminal, or was it the doctors who taxidermied his body and turned him into grotesque trinkets. So if that's not if that is false, then I think that I'm concerned a little bit about Spencer's imagination. That's not true. I don't want to ride home with that. We did just need a skunk today. Man, Do you feel like you know the answer? I think so? Are you going to consult with the crowd or yeah,

I'll consult with the crowd. Oh h So you gotta do that. Okay, the lie is bigger than that was wrong? All right? Crack who thinks that Steve's story was the lie? Who thinks him my story was the lie? And Spencer's seems are helping. You don't know, they're not. Um, I don't know. I honestly think it's your story, but I don't it's true. That's how I feel like it's a lie that's going to go. George is true? Are you really everything about big dolls? George's true? I'm sorry, that's

all right. It's true. So you got to let to choose from which one was the least believable out of these two. True, that's the true. I guess was the wig Libby Custer's wig made of George Custer's hair was lost in the theater fire, So yours was the lie? No, it was. She wore it for theatrical productions. It was lost in the theater fire, and a Northern Cheyenne woman took a sewing all sold it in the future when they said, don't mess with us, you'd be better able

to listen. And Jed Smith was never recovered. They don't know what happened to him, but playing you get to get to first light. So thank you, thank you, you got. It's gonna work with the thing you're with, the thing you're with, the thing you're winning, and everything else that that people are gonna win to night. You gotta come after the show. Chess is gonna do an outro song. Come down here after the show and you'll we'll get you all squared away right over here. Hey, if it thanks,

you feel better. I was here when they were discussing all this and I had no idea who was telling the truth in a line? And thank you. Okay, Now, clare you ready to to to lay this out?

question to the topic is cooking. This baked food, which is occasionally made with venison, was popularized by Irish miners in Butte in the eighteen hundreds. Baked Baked. This baked food, which is occasionally made with venison, was popularized by Irish miners and Butte in the eighteen hundreds. Now hold your answers until I come to you We're gonna see if we can stump these folks first. But I got a question, but I can't ask it without giving something to people.

I think what you should be asking yourself is if somebody else I asked that question, would you be anger? Yes? Very anger? One more time. This baked food, which is occasionally made with venison, was popularized by Irish miners and butte in the eighteen hundreds. Does everybody have an answer? All right? Media crew, put your markers down. Audience, help out Ivan. What do you think it is? Say it again? You can write down pass right now tasks he said.

Apparently that's the answer, but I don't know what they said. Everybody said the same thing. All right, First of all, what's the answer pasties? I don't think you should be looking at all right, everybody, reveal your answers. We have pasty, pasty, pasty, tasty, pasty, baked potato and shepherd's. The incorrect answer is past now. Miners would use their shovels to reheat their pasties over

candles they wore on their heads. When everything was eaten, but the pie cross ridge, they tossed it into the mind for the ghosts of dead miners to finish good, some some ghost meal. There we're onto question three. We did We did quick as the questions that I wanted to get people we didn't get to. But um uh just really quickly favorite just around the room, real quick. Favorite wild game dish as a kid, like a thing that you were like that is suitable, legitimate wild game

when you were a kid. I think deep fried, wally Ie Delicious, can't mess it up. I just have to say fried backstrap. Yeah, yeah, just simple. If it's from mom, fried brick trout, you know, like paying fred brick trout, and if it's from dad, be hamburger, gravy, most of it out of a camp fried fish. And that's Mike. That's what it is for my kids too. Yeah, we had.

We would when we got a deer we dies that morning or the next morning, slice the heart thin and put it in seasoned flour and cook that in oil or butter and by kids like that Now interesting, Yeah, because I sold it pretty heavy and we put catchup on it. I was not served a lot of wild game as a child, but once I started going to deer camp in Wisconsin on Saturday night after opening a day, they would make this heart and liver sort of sauce gravy that was served over potatoes, very bland. The heart

was overcooked, the liver was overcooked. It was not delicious. I did not like it, so I don't I don't have a favorite deal. So I can tell you that now my kid's favorite meal. They have two. It's turkey schnitzel, which I had to serve to your daughter for the very first time. It is a couple of weeks ago, and they like just straight up fried heart, which is odd to me because it's not like that. You know, it's not like number one for me. But my kids

are always wondering when the next heart's coming out. Zeth, I se you aware venison cheese steaks. My grandmother used to make them all the time. Yeah, I have anyline. It's not really a meal. But my old man used to pickle dear heart, and that was one of my favorites. Yeah. I was like, ye, honest, I didn't grow up with a lot of wild game, but all the neighbors had summer sausage, and it was always funnyeat that pan fried wild turkey pans.

There. Instead, they mostly filmed on the Yellowstone, Gallatin and Boulder rivers. The rivers again where they filled it? Yellowstone, Gallatin and Boulder. Huh, I didn't know the other ones were into our last question, here's a scoreboard update. Chester and Brody have a perfect
