Taco and Caden Dowler are twin brothers from Billings who became the faces of Montana State's first national championship in 41 years — Taco caught the title-tying touchdown in overtime, Caden won Big Sky Defensive Player of the Year.

They sat down with Outlaw Beat to break down the final fourth-down play snap by snap, explain why they turned down transfer portal money to stay in Montana, and settle a few things about growing up as each other's toughest competition.

Plus: the family bloodline that runs through the first Super Bowl, the Taco Dowler Youth Foundation's Backpack to Belong program, and a game of Bobcats Back to Back presented by Stay Montana.

Two very different musicians, one festival weekend under Lone Peak. Jamie McLean — former guitarist for New Orleans' legendary Dirty Dozen Brass Band, with stages from Madison Square Garden to Japan's Fuji Rock — plays Wildlands Music Festival on Saturday, August 1 alongside Carrie Underwood and Kaitlin Butts, plus a free solo acoustic set at the first-ever Wildlands Family Jam that morning. Willie McMillon of Fader Magavin & the Risky Livers brings underground basement warehouse country from Jackson, Wyoming to Friday night's bill with Riley Green and LeAnn Rimes — and explains why his band keeps writing checks to a festival they're already losing money to play.

Jamie comments on being drafted into the Dirty Dozen without a single rehearsal, what Taj Mahal told his tour manager, and why streaming royalties don't fill a gas tank. Willie speaks to the artist donation he started as a dare to richer bands, the tour bus sticker incident that nearly got him uninvited, and the night his drummer set him on fire with a bottle of 151.

Rick Bass — petroleum geologist turned Montana Project director — explains how a 315-year-old spruce, felled during a Forest Service clearcut in Montana's Yaak Valley, became the Black Ram Guitar.

Jeff Bridges heard it once and commissioned six more. Now it's touring with a busload of MFA students trying to get the Black Ram region of the Yaak designated as America's first Climate Refuge. We talk old-growth forests, grizzly habitat, the politics behind a proposed 800-acre clearcut, and whether a guitar can actually stop a chainsaw.

For 38 years, Mike Heard was the most trusted voice in southwest Montana weather — chief meteorologist for KBZK and KXLF, the forecast an entire region planned its week around. In June 2026, his position was eliminated in a statewide downsizing. He didn't see it coming: "0% chance," in his words.

Mike joins Outlaw Beat to talk about growing up in Butte, getting hired with zero TV experience, and why forecasting Bozeman is so hard (southwest Montana is a radar desert). We cover the super El Niño threatening this ski season, why there's been no snow on Christmas in Bozeman, what a microburst actually is, and Mike’s brutally honest forecast for the future of local television. Plus, he plays along in "Cloudy with a Chance of BS," where he rates your favorite weather folklore — and a science teacher finally stumps him.

What does a seizure actually look like? What do you do when one happens in front of you? And why is Montana one of the states still without a law requiring teachers to know the answer to that question?

On this episode of Outlaw Beat, we sit down with Jessica Veach — Regional Executive Director of the Epilepsy Foundation covering Montana, Nevada, and Utah — and Dr. Karla Mora Rodriguez, neurologist with Billings Clinic, to talk about one of the most common neurological conditions most people know almost nothing about.

Nearly 11,000 Montanans are living with epilepsy. 1 in 10 people will have a seizure in their lifetime. And a free, one-hour, on-demand training exists that could prepare every teacher and school employee to respond — but Montana has yet to make it law.

Big Sky PBR is going purple in support of epilepsy awareness Thursday July 16. If this episode moves you, contact your Montana state legislator and ask them to support the Seizure Safe Schools bill when it hits the floor in February.

Meet Jeff Marks, senior author of “Birds of Montana” - the first comprehensive state bird reference since 1921. Jeff is the executive director of the Montana Bird Advocacy, a former editor of The Auk, and has spent decades studying everything from Long-eared Owls to Bristle-thighed Curlews in the Pacific.

We met Jeff in Grant, Montana to talk about the best places to birdwatch in the state, the worst bird in Montana (his answer might surprise you), how birds can literally see Earth's magnetic field, the controversial ethics of using bird call playback apps like Merlin Bird ID, and we play a rapid-fire birding etiquette game to find out what's actually frowned upon in the field.

Topics covered: the most underrated birding spots in Montana, why grassland birds are in trouble, the strange science behind bird migration, magpie funerals, and what it's like being the gatekeeper of the official Montana bird records list.

We’re talking home building and AI-proof trades for Gen Z with President of Southwest Montana Building Industry Association slash owner of Rivers Landscaping Riley Rivers and Career Outreach Coordinator for Bozeman and Gallatin High Schools Karl Schwartz, architect of the new Bozeman Construction Academy.

Riley breaks down the real inputs driving building costs in the Gallatin Valley: materials, labor, land, fuel, permit delays, government regulation, and the cost of holding land while projects wait for approval. Karl explains how the Construction Academy gives high school students hands-on trades experience, college credit through Gallatin College, and job-site readiness before they graduate.

They also get into why construction careers are much broader than “swinging a hammer,” why AI is not about to install sprinkler lines on a Big Sky hillside, and how private industry support helped launch a public-school trades program. Then Joe makes Riley and Karl play a deeply unserious but weirdly educational price-per-square-foot guessing game featuring storage units, Bozeman homes, Costco, Yellowstone Club, coffee shacks, the Las Vegas Sphere, and the International Space Station.

Big Sky, Montana is technically unincorporated — no town council, no mayor — yet it generates $25 million a year in resort tax revenue and just became the most taxable community in the state. We sat down with Daniel Bierschwale, Executive Director of Big Sky Resort Area District (BSRAD), to break down how resort taxes work, what the new hospital district means for residents, and why Big Sky is essentially funding two teachers per school district across all 391 Montana school districts.

And while we’re talking dirty details, Karl Johnson, owner of YES Compost, joins to explain what vermicomposting is. It’s hundreds of thousands of worms eating your food scraps and pooping out garden gold. We talk worm aversions (no citrus, no onions, definitely no diapers), scaling from 10 lbs of worms to a city-wide composting operation, and the one commercial client who really should have read the green bucket guidelines.

This episode was made possible by the Big Sky Chamber of Commerce, for your enjoyment and information.

Residents of Big Sky, Montana have an increasing number of options and opportunities, and on this episode, we’ll feature a couple of great examples.

Dr. Syd Desmarais of Lone Peak Veterinary Hospital and Jeremy Harder, head of school at Big Sky Community School, join us to talk about what it actually takes to serve a resort town of pet owners with active, sporty kids.

We cover some serious ground here: pet acupuncture, why dental powders are a waste of money, what a brand new hybrid K-12 school actually looks like, and how it’s connected to a school in New York.

Big Sky PBR, recently crowned 12-time event of the year, will ride again this July 16-18. And I hope you’re hungry, because the lineup of chefs is a murderers row: event organizer and Top Chef alum Emily Hahn, James Beard Award winner Eduardo Garcia, plus some of the most acclaimed chefs in the Mountain West and beyond: Sheldon Simeon (Top Chef, touring his second cookbook), Jamie Lynch (Top Chef), Josh Adams of Livingston’s Campione (James Beard nominee), and Jarrett Wrisley of Shan (James Beard nominee). Plus local skybox chefs Joel Gil of BRAZA and Kenan Anderson of Provecho.

All in Big Sky, Montana for just three unexpectedly delicious days. On this episode, we sit down with Emily (chef-owner of Bozeman's Mountain Provisions) and Eduardo (founder of Montana Mex and host of Magnolia Network's Big Sky Kitchen) to talk about what they're cooking up – like whole bison sourced from North Bridger Bison, whole hog, whole lamb, fresh Alaskan seafood, and locally grown produce.

We also get into:

Emily's four years as a commercial shrimper and how she earned her 100-ton captain's license before landing in Bozeman
Eduardo's full origin story — the electrocution, 21 surgeries, cancer diagnosis, and the hook he chose over a bionic hand
Why neither of them could care less about a Michelin star — and why that's exactly the point
The Low Cuisine game: Eduardo's tia's rural kitchen and Emily's formative years at a sex-drugs-and-rock-and-roll Italian restaurant in Richmond, Virginia.

This is a conversation about what food is actually for — community, land, ranchers, farmers, and the people eating it — told by two chefs who've both taken the long, hard, scenic route to get here.

Aaron Flint is a retired Army lieutenant colonel with two Bronze Stars, a former conservative talk radio host who spent a decade taking calls from Montanans for four hours a day, and the Republican frontrunner for Montana's open House seat in the western district. And even if he’s qualified, he’s not particularly excited about going to Washington.

We sat down with Flint in Bozeman to talk about why he's running anyway — and what he actually plans to do once he gets there. We covered public lands and whether he'll pick up where Ryan Zinke left off, his Trump endorsement (and what it means when the guy who gave it to you becomes less popular), housing costs, tariffs, AI data centers eating up Montana electricity, and what it was like to be one of the only white guys walking across the Howard University campus in Washington D.C.

Whether you're a Flint voter, a Flint skeptic, or just someone who wants to know who could be representing western Montana in Congress, this is worth a listen.

On this episode, we head deep into Montana ranch country with the Ranchers Stewardship Alliance to figure out how an industry built on horses and grit is now running on GPS collars, data uploads, and conservation science. It’s part cowboy, part tech startup—and somehow still hanging on.

We get into the real pressures threatening ranching today: skyrocketing land prices, outside development, environmental shifts, and the uncomfortable reality that most ranchers are pushing 60. What happens when the people feeding the country start aging out?

At the same time, ranchers are doing something you probably didn’t expect—they’re quietly some of the biggest players in wildlife conservation, habitat restoration, and land management in the American West.

And we also touch on the day-to-day realities of ranch life – pulling calves, dealing with predators, and occasionally even bringing animals back to life.

After the winter that wasn’t, we’re all wondering how extreme wildfire season will be this summer. On this episode, Outlaw Beat is joined by a fire behavior analyst who is qualified to give us answers to all our burning questions.

Jon Trapp is the Division Chief of Wildland Fire at Big Sky Fire Department and he is fresh off a regional planning meeting for western wildfires, so it’s a great time to find out what he knows so we’re all prepared for what’s in store.

Jon talks about the various conditions and weather patterns that are lining up against us, wildfire tendencies you should definitely be aware of, plus the technological advances that are giving firefighters an edge they’ve never had before.

And we don’t let Jon leave without having him answer fireman questions poorly written by children.

The Rocky Mountain area isn’t known for its lakes, but there’s one we’re all pretty proud of. It’s everyone’s favorite terminal saline lake: Utah’s Great Salt Lake that, sadly, is getting less and less great every year.

To find out why it’s shrinking, why that matters, and what we can do to turn things around, Outlaw Beat talks to lake expert Eric Edwards, senior fellow at PERC (the Property and Environment Research Center) and associate professor of agricultural and resource economics at UC Davis.

Eric dispels some major myths about the state of the lake, like how much climate change is to blame and the practicality of some of the “magic bullet” solutions that are floating around out there.

This episode matters if you care about the wildlife, clean skies, and winter sports that make Utah a special place to visit or live.

For 90 years, the Bridger Ski Foundation has promoted, organized, and created opportunities for skiing as an activity in the Gallatin Valley. And up to this point, it has done so without a building to call a homebase. Just schlepping gear from van to storage closet to garage to ski-swap like Nordic nomads.

But that changes now. Board President Natalie Flowers and Board Member Peter Belschwender host Outlaw Beat at the worksite on Gold Ave that is soon to be BSF’s permanent home – “The Base” – to discuss the countless lives that have been touched and trails that have been groomed by the organization.

All of this has been made possible by the incredible generosity of donors, but there are still opportunities to help with the build and get your name on it.

We’re talking about what makes the American West different (for better and for worse) in this episode with help from local historian and author Dr. Betsy Gaines Quammen. Her latest book “True West: Myth & Mending on the Far Side of America” explores how myths of the American West fuel modern polarization, extremism, and conflict over land and identity.

Betsy’s area of expertise is extremism and land disputes in Western communities, so the conversation touches on Ruby Ridge and the Bundy family all the way to January 6 and beyond. You might be surprised by what we all have in common – namely a love for public land and a distaste for Utah Senator Mike Lee.

Bozeman Children’s Theatre is a machine that churns out 8 live productions a year, but their upcoming dark comedic musical “Heathers” both cuts deep and helps the wounds heal. Thanks to partnerships with Bozeman Health and Howlers Ridge, all the performances will feature a mental health-focused talkback immediately to follow.

Based on the 1988 movie and featuring a cast of high schoolers from across the Gallatin Valley, “Heathers” explores the complexities of teen relationships, identity, and peer pressure, all through the lens of dark comedy and 1980s pop-inspired music. Shows are at the Willson Friday Feb 27 at 6pm and Saturday Feb 28 at 1pm & 6pm.

BCT Executive Director Patrick Higgins and board Vice Chair Adrian Advincula join us to explain the origin and importance of the show. They also talk about the serendipitous way that actor Taylor Kitsch and his nonprofit Howlers Ridge became involved in the production.

We also discuss another of his triumphs, the creation of a local tenants union, plus the hollow victory of banning urban camping, and the small-town challenges presented by federal efforts to crack down on illegal immigration.

Then we put him through his paces in a very realistic press conference.

Dan draws on his 20 year career as a SWAT Tactical Operations Team Leader specializing in RICO cases involving skinheads and cartel gangs to discuss ground operations in Montana, satanic online groups lurking on Roblox, and a new local golf tournament to support the FBI Agent Association.

Williams Plumbing began in Bozeman as a one-man pipe-wrench operation in 1979 but it has grown into a 350 employee residential/commercial behemoth that’s one of the largest job creators in Montana plus a growing trade school training tomorrow’s blue collar professionals to work in an AI-proof field.

Williams’ Chief Business Officer Josh Montanye joins Outlaw Beat to discuss the origin and future of the Williams family of companies – Williams Plumbing, Williams Civil Contracting, and Williams Academy – along with the cutting edge technology, willingness to take risks, and sense of humor that helps them not only install the pipeline, but keep it filled as well.

Outlaw Beat has emerged from the hibernation of focusing exclusively on Montana State Bobcat football and we are ready to learn all about Eagle Mount, Bozeman’s longtime nonprofit that provides therapeutic recreation for people with disabilities & young people with cancer.

We’re talking skiing, horseback riding, aquatics, climbing… flying planes? Yeah we’ll get to that one. Board President Christine Baker joins us from Eagle Mount’s campus in South Bozeman that has recently added some acreage.

It all started with therapeutic skiing, but these days they’re offering 2,000 experiences a year in everything from horticulture to live music to fly fishing. They even have a horse simulator Joe got to ride.

For the first time in 41 years, the Montana State Bobcats brought home an FCS national title yesterday, defeating the Illinois State Redbirds 35-34 in overtime. Montana’s Senior U.S. Senator (and MSU alum) Steve Daines joins Outlaw Beat from Washington D.C. to celebrate the thrilling victory.

A lifelong ‘Cats fan who was present in Nashville for the game, Senator Daines looks back on the past and ahead to the bright future of the Bobcats’ football program. We also got off topic and talked about the Senate cloakroom, aliens, and whether or not he reads comments on social media.

As you well know, we don’t normally publish episodes that are “smart” or “important” but this one fell into our lap, so here we are. Dr. Paul Alan Cox is a world-renowned ethnobotanist who has dedicated his life to understanding and curing the most mystifying brain diseases like Alzheimer’s, ALS, and Parkinsons.

Dr. Cox’s nonprofit Brain Chemistry Labs is an unassuming building across from Whole Foods in Jackson Hole (WY) but it is staffed by a dazzling array of scientific rock stars performing research that may allow all of us to live longer, and will lead to decreases in the occurrence and severity of cognitive disorders.

Right? We are well aware that we are idiots who have no business covering this story.

Dr Cox has conducted research all over the place – Harvard, Guam, Samoa, BYU, Ogimi – but kinda likes the Rocky Mountains, so that’s where he set up shop. This one doesn’t let you take a breath as we go from the blue zones of Okinawa to saving Sean Connery’s jungle movie to figuring out why dolphins are beaching themselves near cyanobacteria blooms.

Put a sport coat on over your flannel because we’re learning all about Montana Chamber Music, the local program that’s bringing top tier classical talent to Bozeman and all over rural Montana.

Artistic Director Angella Ahn (of the Ahn Trio) joins us to discuss bringing fancy chamber music to far flung ranches and she’s joined by two visiting virtuosos Kenji Bunch (composer, violist) and Monica Ohuchi (pianist).

These three all met while they were studying at Juilliard, so you know they’re legit. We learn that the difference between chamber music and orchestral music has to do with bodily functions. Also, if you think regular airline travel is a pain, try doing it with a $5,000 viola. Stick around until the end because Angella and Monica join Kenji to play a song he wrote and it’s just lovely.

We talk about the growth and evolution of the sport in Montana, the practice of billeting, and the possibility of adding a 2-point line. We also pull back the curtain on Pete’s secretly famous food scientist father.

They used half a million pounds of steel to construct top and bottom terminals and spliced a tow cable burly enough to jettison 75 lucky people up 2,142 vertical feet to Big Sky Resort’s Lone Peak in just under 5 minutes. You could call Cédric “the tram daddy” or “god of gondolas” but most folks who’ve worked with him just call him “the man.”

Hoary Marmot is all about mental health with an inspirational story detailed in the upcoming nonfiction book “Without Restraint” from father/son writing team Robert and Ryan DeLena.

As a child, Ryan had difficulty controlling his emotional outbursts. This led to placement in therapeutic schools that relied on detrimental methods of behavior modification such as physical restraints and heavy medication. In 2010, Ryan was voluntarily committed to a mental hospital for further evaluation. His parents were out of options... until Ryan discovered skiing.

With the help of Big Sky ski instructor Ben Brosseau, Ryan finally found a sense of focus and purpose that proved more effective than any medicine.
