Episode 11 - In this week’s part 1 of a 3-part interview, Michael Martin Murphey joins his good friend and host of ROTM, Keith Mark for stories of his music, hunting and more. Murph is truly an iconic singer, songwriter and performer who lives a lifestyle we can all relate to

This week starts with a discussion of his early days of hunting and music.  Murph was a natural at an early age and made his debut at his family’s church at a very young age. He was gifted a toy ukulele and taught himself to play. He still doesn’t read music in the traditional sense.

Murph explains how much of his music has the roots in all things related to nature and wide-open spaces. He tells an inspiring story of how the works and ideology of St. Francis touches him at deep level. You’ll understand why when you hear him share this inspiration.

John Wayne Walding was born in Texas on the 4th of July and is about as patriotic a person as you will find. He grew hunting with his grandfather and the patience, fortitude and other skills he learned through hunting would eventually save his life in a faraway land. 

Months before 9/11, John Wayne made the decision to serve his country by joining the military. He was in basic training when the towers feel on the September day. 

With his name being John Wayne, you have to know he got more than his share of grief as he became a Green Beret. The hazing came to a quick halt when the bullets started flying in the Shok Valley of Afghanistan. In that desolate valley, 75 of his friendlies held off over 200 heavily armed enemy combatants for nearly seven hours in an ambush they resulted in eight Purple Heart injuries. The complete story of the battle is told in the book, “No Way Out”.

John Wayne was hit and barely survived. One leg was nearly severed, and he had to tie it to his torso and then climb off the mountainside he and his team were pinned down on.  

Today, thanks to an incredible medic in the field, excellent medical after his evacuation and high-tech prosthetics, he is physical marvel. He went back and trained to become a Special Ops sniper, the first amputee to do so. Today, 

He hunts in some of the most rugged terrain and loves the challenge. He also gives back through his business and charitable work. You won’t want to miss this inspiring talk with a true American hero.

This episode is full of laughter and some serious discussions as Ralph and Vicki Cianciarulo join ROTM’s host, Keith Mark to talk about the old days and the new things they have going on.

As parents of the son, RJ himself a budding TV star and hunter, Ralph an Vicki are very concerned about current efforts to raise the legal age to hunt in some parts of the country. They took RJ out when he was very young, and they can’t imagine someone telling them they can’t.

Ralph and Vicki were among Keith’s earliest mentors when he was considering hosting his own program, MacMillan River Adventures and they reminisce about their early days. They tell stories of their high-profile customers at the archery shop in Chicago. Bo Jackson, Walter Payton, Kurt Russel, many of the Cubs players were all frequent and loyal customers who became friends. Sadly, they often heard from these celebrities that they press agents instructed their clients not to talk in public about their passion for hunting and the lifestyle.

Ralph and Vicki are huge moose hunting fans and have frequented Keith’s outfitting operation in the Yukon, MacMillan River Adventures and they all share stories of the monster moose they have encountered- some a little close for comfort.

The show wraps up with new archery products they are using, new programs they have in the pipeline along with their son, RJ’s new project.

Jana Waller is an artist, television host and a conservationist She was born into a hunting family and was taken under her father’s wing at a young age. Her Skull Bound franchise has moved from cable broadcast to fully digital and continues to expand and reach new audiences. Despite an incredibly busy schedule of filming hunts, producing and supervising show production and making her signature beaded skulls, Jana finds time to reach out to young, aspiring hunters, especially girls, to help them start hunting. 

In this first of two episodes, Jana joins ROTM host, Keith Mark and explains why she has taken her long running and uber successful Skull Bound Chronicles show from TV to online digital and why it works for her audience. 

She and Keith discuss the need to get women and girls of all ages into hunting and why that can be so more important to the future. She fears that young people today aren’t being taught the discipline and dedication that hunting and outdoor lifestyles teach. She lets us know that she takes time to give back with her time and talents to help kids learn and excel at outdoor activities.

They also discuss the strange phenomenon of hunters criticizing other hunters. She shares that she has been targeted by on-line, “keyboard warriors” and how she reacted. She states that hunters really need to stop the infighting and unite to protect their rights, which she feels are under attack by anti-hunting organizations. She points to HunterNation.org as a great organization to help combat those efforts and to increase the ranks of hunters.

Mark “Oz” Geist returns for part 2 of this 2-part ROTM and picks up where he left off in telling the story the “13 Hours Of Benghazi”. This episode wraps up with stories from an amazing hunting trip he took with Donald Trump, Jr and Eric Trump to benefit his non-profit organization, Shadow Warriors Project. 

Oz continues his detailed explanation of what led up to the concentrated battle he and other former Special Forces fought on September 11, 2012. He recalls how lessons he learned as a young hunter proved to be very helpful as they were outnumbered by a heavily armed militia. 

During his recovery process, Oz learned that “contractors” like himself are only paid while they are at work- regardless of injury. This led he and his wife to create, “Shadow Warriors Project” a non-profit organization which helps injured private contractors when they get hurt and can’t support their families. They also have a K9 component which helps wounded veterans by connecting them with a service dog. He shares a compelling story of hunting near the Arctic Circle with Eric and Donald Trump, Jr as part of a fund-raising effort for “Shadow Warriors Project”. Oz faced down a large wolf that had stalked their party. 

The episode continues with ROTM’s host, Keith Mark and Oz sharing stories from hunting camps they have shared and questions from our audience.  Oz explains his preference for predator hunting and the need for predator hunting to help all conservation efforts. They reflect on their mutual faith in God and the need for good to fight evil. 

Oz commends Keith for founding, Hunter Nation and the shock he felt when he first heard from then-candidate, Donald Trump that hunters “don’t vote”. Keith explains that was part of the inspiration behind Hunter Nation and that research data shows that is true. They both reflect on the success of the “Hunt The Vote” project they worked tirelessly on in 2020 and how it helped over 500,000 hunters get registered and vote their values in that election. 

Oz closes by reminding everyone of the importance of access to public land for hunting and all forms of recreation and relaxation.

Retired Special Forces Green Beret and true American Hero, Mark “Oz” Geist joins ROTM to talk hunting and how the lessons learned early from hunting helped him become the elite soldier he grew to be. Oz discusses his role in the true-life story, “13 Hours In Benghazi” which is both a bestselling book and Oscar nominated motion picture.

Mark “Oz” Geist is a true American hero who served his country as a Special Forces Green Beret along with various other positions in the civilian world. He has been a small-town police officer specializing in crimes against children, a volunteer firefighter, a bounty hunter and as a private contractor assigned to provide protection for high security people and places.

Oz takes our audience through the process which took him from a small town in Texas to a battleground in Benghazi, Libya.  From a chance meeting with a military recruiter in high school to a frantic fight for his life, Oz explains he has always had a drive to serve and be a part of something bigger than himself.

Oz walks us through the days and hours that led up to the infamous attack on a US compound in Benghazi where the US Ambassador Chris Stevens and his staff were being targeted by a heavily armed and coordinated effort militia group on the eleventh anniversary of the 9/11 attack. He recalls how the earliest lessons he learned from childhood hunting with his grandfathers helped him be prepared for the battle that ensued.

ROTM’s host, Keith Mark is joined by his sidekick, Josh Ishmael for a question-and-answer segment with legendary outdoor TV producer and host, Keith Warren. Keith Warren’s answers are just what you would expect, honest, frank and fearless. He doesn’t seek controversy but he isn’t afraid to take on issues or attitudes and we love that about him. 

While Keith Warren has a reputation as controversial, and he embraces that label because he feels it’s important to say what you think and back it up with action. We also see his softer side as he talks about working with his daughter, Matti and the pride he has as a father and role mode. 

Keith Warren explains how he attracted controversy years about by starting his own deer farming operation. He heard other hunters say, “That’s not real hunting”. He saw the value and potential for good in raising deer in a controlled environment and now his vision is paying off with big news in regard to Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). Keith explains research on deer farms is revealing new insight on CWD and shares big news on the subject. 

He reflects on how ROTM’s host, Keith Mark, introduced him years ago to “Outdoor Adventure Foundation” and incredible work they do to make dreams come true for young people and military veterans who are battling serious illness or injury which might otherwise keep them on the sidelines.

Keith Warren speaks his mind and backs it up with action. He has more outdoor TV show credits to his name than anyone we know with over 1,300 and counting. He explains why he still has the drive and passion to do more. His daughter, Matti, has joined him on many adventures and he couldn’t be happier to have her alongside.

When ROTM’s host, Keith Mark, first started hosting outdoor television, one of his role models was Keith Warren. They reminisce on how they met and how disappointed they have been over the years by many of the other hosts they met and worked with. Keith Warren never pulls punches and he speaks frankly about why “Taking The High Road” is the way he lives and why he thinks it’s more important today than ever.

Keith Warren explains how he feels we live in a world of “soft people” and how many of those people see hunters as “weird”. He embraces that term and declares that hunters are the minority because they are tough, not soft. He is concerned when hunters criticize other hunters or claim they aren’t “real hunters” because they use different techniques or tools. He feels hunters need to unite to protect hunting for future generations and they better act fast because the anti-hunters are busy chipping away at our rights  every day.
