  The Blue Jean Governor

  Sep 10, 20261h 19m

  Former Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer is joining Beer, Buds & the Big Sky tonight.The jeans, bolo tie, ranching former governor spent eight years running Montana — so we're putting him to work trying to help us make sense of this week's political bullshit.Tonight we're getting into mail-in ballot problems and thousands of rejected ballots, the political fight over Mamdani attending 9/11 commemorations, the latest drama surrounding Ken Paxton in Texas, a $533 million taxpayer-funded artillery factory that failed to produce usable shells, and just how much time Congress actually spends working.And with Brian Schweitzer sitting at the table, we're guessing the conversation won't stay on the rundown for long.Tonight's crew: Mike Jopek, Ed Doctor, Steve, and former Governor Brian Schweitzer.No script. No filter. Nothing's off the table.

  Who’s Screwing Montana? Kevin Hamm & Pat Fitzpatrick Join the Boys

  Sep 3, 20261h 9m

  This week on Beer, Buds & the Big Sky, we're joined by two Montana candidates. Kevin Hamm, Democratic candidate for Montana Public Service Commission District 5, joins the boys to talk utility rates, data centers, energy, regulation, and what he thinks needs to change at the PSC. We're also joined by Pat Fitzpatrick, Democratic candidate for Montana Senate District 6, to talk about his race, the Montana Legislature, and the issues facing his district. Then Mike, Ryan, Ed, and Steve dive into the rest of the week's madness: discount gas stations accused of selling millions in stolen fuel, Trump's claim that communities rejecting data centers will become "backwards and poor," the "Lake America" debate, record corporate profits while workers receive a historically small share of national income, and concerns raised about the USPS ballot system. Plus Closing Arguments and the usual chaos. No script. No filter. Nothing's off the table.
