The conversation pivots to hunting when Theo asks about Steve Rinella's claim that turkeys are the best bird. Riley defends the assertion on hunting grounds: no bird is harder to kill. He taught himself to turkey hunt, spending two to three years without getting close to one. [1] — Riley Green "Turkey hunting: 2-3 years before first kill: Riley Green hunted turkeys for two to three years before he ever got close to killing one, tea…" 51:48 Trevyn interjects with Rinella's case — bald eagles are scavengers, turkeys are intelligent, and their heads change color based on mood. Riley explains the specific challenge of terrain: in the hills, a bird calling sounds close but may be two ridges over; a turkey will always try to approach from where it can spot you first. The flat-terrain Osceola hunt Theo did with Caleb and Michael Waddell in Florida sounds suspiciously easy by comparison. Theo then attempts a turkey call with his chest voice and by the third attempt gets it right. The pair spend time discussing which birds are hunted and theorizing that it comes down to which ones taste good — turkeys, dove, pheasant, duck, and geese versus cardinals and robins.
The Moon Pie was invented in 1917 at the Chattanooga Bakery in Tennessee, reportedly because Appalachian coal miners requested a snack as big as the moon.
Riley Green argues that humor is the ultimate social equalizer for celebrities. When people see someone famous, their first instinct is 'he's probably a jerk.' Self-deprecation and cutting up immediately dissolves that wall. He got his Voice coaching role by goofing around with a duck call on late night TV.
Riley Green hunted turkeys for two to three years before he ever got close to killing one, teaching himself with no guidance from his father.
