Ep 217 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara unpack the viral moment when NHL draft pick Brady Martin chose cows over cameras. Drafted 5th overall by the Nashville Predators, the Ontario teen skipped the glitzy event to stay home and wrangle loose cattle with his family. A big screen in a tractor bucket, 100 neighbors, and a cow-first mindset? You couldn't script it better. Is your burger really grass-fed? The DISCOs break down misleading labels, import loopholes, and what's actually in a cattle diet (hint: it's not all as scary as TikTok makes it sound). Also on the menu: a chat about Wagyu beef and whether paying top dollar for highly marbled steak is really worth it. Spoiler: sometimes a Costco ribeye and good company win. Plus, a hot topic that's dividing rural America: solar panels on farmland. Are they a smart play for farmers or a short-sighted sacrifice of agricultural land? The hosts explore what agrivoltaics are, who's benefiting, and why it's more complicated than it seems.  

In this Meat the People episode, we go inside the finishing pen—literally—with Adam Wackel of Plum Creek Wagyu. Surrounded by 80 full-blood Wagyu cattle, each tipping the scale at over 1,000 pounds, Adam walks us through what makes his herd different: calm, well-treated animals raised with intention.We talk about the temperament of Wagyu and how low-stress handling directly impacts meat quality, marbling, and texture. Adam breaks down the difference between feeding corn versus force-feeding corn, especially in large-scale feedlots vs. small, local operations like his. Yes, he uses corn—it's Nebraska—but it comes from the farm next door, not a commodity mill. Everything is sourced locally, with care and transparency.We also dig into how Wagyu cattle behave differently from Angus, why scale matters, and what it takes to raise some of the best beef in the country. If you've ever wanted a behind-the-scenes look at ethical Wagyu farming done right, this episode delivers.Learn more about Adam's work and order his beef at plumcreekwagyubeef.comWorld Wagyu Council Health Benefits: https://worldwagyucouncil.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Health-Benefits-of-Wagyu-Beef-ISSUED-MAY-2025.pdf

Welcome to Episode 97 of 2414! In this 10th installment of the Vibrant Conversations Deck series, Pastor Dan and Shane are back—just the two of them—for a hilarious, heartfelt, and hunger-inducing episode.They dive into everything from home buying stress to the theology of knocking on wood, from Outburst games on human sacrifice (yes, really) to Wits & Wagers trivia on Oprah and cable channels. But the highlight? A single card from the deck:"What's one adventurous thing you've eaten? Share about the meal."What follows is a food storytelling marathon that ranges from fermented shark in Iceland to cat food in college, with pit stops for burrito burgers, Wagyu, wasabi edamame, and even hot chocolate floats. Through humor and humility, the conversation reveals how even meals can carry meaning—and how the weirdest foods can lead to the richest stories.If you're looking to enhance your own conversations or simply want to explore these engaging topics further, you can grab your own Vibrant Conversations Deck here:

In this episode of The Meat Dudes, we dig into a question that's been bugging us: Why isn't Wagyu beef taken seriously yet? We break down the perception problem, the misinformation, and why so many people still don't get what makes Wagyu worth it.We also shine a light on the Ranch Steak — an overlooked cut that's a game-changer when it comes off a Wagyu cow — and ask the hard question: Should steakhouse servers actually know where their meat comes from? (Yes. Yes, they should.) And yes, we walk back our hot take on the Wagyu hot dog — because when it's made right, it actually slaps.We finish with a field interview straight from the finishing pen at Plum Creek Wagyu, where Adam Wackel talks local feed, full-blood genetics, and how keeping cattle calm leads to better beef. You can almost hear the cows breathing.Marbling, myths, and meat-based redemption — let's go.

In this full interview, we sit down with Andrew Shirley of River Valley Wagyu to talk about one of the biggest questions in premium beef: Can Wagyu be grass-fed and still deliver? Andrew raises 100% grass-fed, grass-finished Full Blood Wagyu in Chehalis, Washington, and shares why he took a different path from the grain-fed norm. We cover marbling potential, nutrient density, how flavor develops on pasture, and what he's learned raising full-blood cattle on grass alone. If you think all Wagyu has to be grain-finished, this episode might change your mind.Find Andrew Shirley here: www.rivervalleywagyu.com

This After Hours episode of the Underground Lounge kicks off with Holly confronting the elephant in the room — the YouTube comments. She addresses the criticism head-on, acknowledging her loud voice, big personality, and how it sometimes clashes with the male-dominated panel. With Spank and comedian Mike Murphy by her side, the trio dives into a raw and hilarious conversation about internet culture, boundaries, and the unwritten rules of both friendships and birthday dinners.Mike opens up about how he deals with trolls and why he filters certain words from his comment section. He and Holly find common ground in navigating negativity online, while Spank holds down the middle, offering balance and plenty of side commentary.The episode spirals (in the best way possible) into stories about social group hierarchies, being the “errand guy” in male circles, and how quickly interest fades when someone doesn't command respect from their peers. Holly also breaks down the sacred rules of birthday behavior, including what your friends are (and aren't) allowed to wear, and what happens when someone brings Wagyu energy to a shrimp budget dinner.Mike reflects on a past conflict where another comic falsely accused him of stealing content, revealing how the situation messed with his energy more than his reputation.Whether it's talking through the blurred lines of clout-chasing, the petty politics of group dinners, or the reality of being a solo act in a world full of entourages, this episode is proof that when the cameras are rolling after hours, nothing is off-limits.

In this episode, we ask the big question: Is Wagyu just hype? Or is there more behind the marbling? (Quick answer... hell no its not, but we can see why you may think so.)We break down:Why the world needs Wagyu SommeliersOur honest take on Wagyu hot dogs (spoiler: hard pass)The underrated magic of the Bavette cutA hot take on Wagyu burgers (they're not all created equal)Then we sit down with Andrew Shirley of River Valley Wagyu, who raises 100% full-blood, grass-fed Wagyu in the Pacific Northwest. We get into how raising docile, grass-fed cattle impacts the quality, taste, and ethics of the beef on your plate.Whether you're a meat nerd or just Wagyu-curious, this one's for you.You can find River Valley Wagyu: https://www.rivervalleywagyu.comThis podcast is sponsored by Preservation Meat Collective: https://preservemeat.com/

The Crusaders held Jerusalem and the Holy Land for a short 88 years (1099-1187). But when Caliph Saladin (a Sunni Kurd) recaptured both the relic of the "True Cross" and Jerusalem itself a third Crusade was called for by Pope Urban III. Among those who answered that call was Richard the Lionheart, the King of England who carried King Arthur's famed sword "Excalibur." In this episode I recount what preceded Saladin's re-conquest of Jerusalem, the challenges of staying hydrated for the Crusaders, the ongoing suspicions and betrayals between Byzantine and Holy Roman Empire Christians, everyday life on the Crusader march, and how Richard and Saladin finally ended their warring. In the show's opening I reflect on American students' deliquencies on their school loans. I also explain still more about the Bible and violence, delineating how I frame the question of violence and/or pacifism from Old Testament to New Testament. Come and enjoy some intellectually fresh Wagyu beef with me!

Huge supporters of this show, the team from Zuney Burger has brought an entirely fresh perspective to both livestock farming, and the farm-to-table movement. Their pasture-reared Wagyu beef makes it's way direct to consumers in the form of an astonishingly good burger. Henk Klopper and Denys Wells farm the cattle on lush pasture in the Eastern Cape, their sons Henk and Devon handle the sales and set up the burger operation. This was as much about ensuring that a certain podcaster had access to the best possible burger as it was about sustainability and an ingenious way to use up the mince and trim the results from people only ordering the prime cuts from Wagyu beef. It also means that top quality, locally farmed produce comes straight from the farm to the consumer by way of a squidgy brioche bun. This was a great chat with Henning Klopper who drives the burger brand.Learn more about Zuney BurgersZuney Wagyu online shoprussel@rwm2012(dot)com www.rwm2012.com On Instagram @a_table_inthecorner Cover image sketched by Courtney Cara Lawson All profile portraits by Russel Wasserfall unless otherwise credited Title music: 'In Time' by Olexy via Pixabay
