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.

Something about playing at altitude just agrees with Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton. After making a name for himself at MSU, he now finds himself one of the NFL’s top tacklers in Denver.

PBR’s Flint Rasmussen joins Outlaw Beat to help interview Alex about the CFL stint that taught him how to be a pro, his abiding passion for the Cats, and his recent battle with testicular cancer that… well let’s just say these days he’s putting the “single” in Singleton.

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.
