Recorded live at the Wildlands Festival in Big Sky, Montana on July 31, 2026 — six weeks before Cam Sholly announced he was stepping down as superintendent of Yellowstone National Park after nearly eight years.

Watch full interview: ExploreBigSky.com/episodes/CamSholly

Outlaw Beat host Joe Borden sits down with Sholly, PERC CEO Brian Yablonski, and Outlaw Partners founder Eric Ladd to talk about an eight-year partnership between the world's first national park and a Bozeman conservation think tank: the new international visitor fee, Yellowstone's $1.5 billion maintenance backlog, employee housing, the 2022 flood and the odd/even license plate plan, and PERC's work with ranchers on elk occupancy agreements, payment-for-presence programs, and virtual fencing.

Plus a live game with the audience about the worst decisions ever made in Yellowstone, and a disagreement about whether the Zone of Death is real.

PERC was the 2026 conservation partner for Wildlands, which has raised more than $3 million for conservation nonprofits.

Keaton Gillogly, the voice of the Bobcats and 2024 Montana Sportscaster of the Year, on the 38-33 win over Weber State, why this defense leads the Big Sky in every major category, how he preps 18 radio stations' worth of Montana listeners, and the Vin Scully rule about radio versus television. Plus Spirit Squad head coach Nicola Norris — a former Oakland and Las Vegas Raiderette — on five years in the NFL and how she met Keaton at a minor league ballpark in Modesto.

Cheer's Brooklyn Griffin and dance's Maddyn Tyrrell teach the fight song motions and bring the push-up board, which Flint climbs at 58 years old. Warriors & Quiet Waters CEO Brian Gilman, a 27-year Marine, on what veterans lose after service and what to do beyond applauding. And K-SKY's Dave Wooten on Hollywood, Matlock, and the time he stood in Andy Griffith's shower.

Plus: Flint admits he personally caused Weber State's 100-yard kickoff return, the Blue & Gold Gala raised nearly $1 million, and after six weeks somebody finally puts the hat on the cat.

Bobcat Big Show returns November 19 before Cat-Griz.

Joe Borden and Flint Rasmussen are live from the Rocking R Bar on Main Street in Bozeman for Parent & Family Weekend, previewing No. 3 Montana State against No. 22 Weber State.

Ken and Holly Eiden — parents of 2025 national champion Kenny Eiden IV — on a father who won 14 games in four years and a son who won 14 in one, the night Kenny laid every recruiting hat on the kitchen table, never missing a single game from kindergarten through college, and what nobody understands about being a football parent.

Matt Pierson of Producer Partnership on feeding Bobcat athletes 4,000 pounds of Montana beef, the state of ranching, and why the industry is too tired to advocate for itself. Austin O’Neill of the MSU Alumni Foundation on the Blue & Gold Gala, which raised over $650,000 last year — and on being a University of Idaho graduate three weeks after Idaho ended the streak.

Lyle Weese, the Dale Kennedy Director of Track & Field and Cross Country, on the steeplechase, why there’s no FCS in track, and sizing up Flint Rasmussen — who, it turns out, still holds a school record.

Plus actor Philip Winchester of Strike Back, Law & Order: SVU and Ransom Canyon, who grew up backstage at Montana State and makes one pick entirely in a British accent. And Put the Hat on the Cat with an 80th birthday contestant.
