“I love the television show and their whole podcast network. It’s a great way to stay informed on outdoor issues and learn hunting tactics all while having some laughs. But someone needs to check Steve. I don’t know what his deal is, but as time has gone on he’s become more challenging to listen to.
I just finished episode 255, and he did a great job of proving this. At one point he literally bets someone on the show (Clay) that another cohost’s (Spencer’s) interpretation of an article they were all discussing was incorrect. He sure sounds serious about it too. Spencer goes onto read an excerpt from the article which basically shows that Steve was living in his own world and couldn’t intelligently interpret Spencer’s recounting of the article. The disrespect to call out another member of his team like that in a public forum is something else.
Towards the end of the show, he interrupts Spencer again while he’s telling a story about how he (Spencer) had wished he hadn’t heard “don’t shoot a buck on the last day that you wouldn’t shoot on the first.” Steve just has to jump in and say that the phrase is backwards basically implying that Spencer hadn’t heard that. Everyone knows the various ways that phrase exists except for Steve apparently. Steve then continues with a rant about how you shouldn’t change weapons from bow to gun within the same hunt while simultaneously being all right with lowering standards for buck size as a hunt goes on. It’s the same thing. You couldn’t get it done with a bow, so you switched to a gun. AKA you couldn’t get a 150 so you switched to a 120. Hypocritical and totally unaware.
There were several more examples of him being generally frustrating to listen to in this episode, and it’s becoming endemic to a lot of them. He’s super intelligent and well-spoken, but I sure wish he could admit he’s wrong sometimes and stop interrupting people.”
