  • 406 Day
    Apr 7 2026

    Yesterday was 406 Day. I was busy. I had footprints to leave and a very large drink waiting for me outside a brewery in Manhattan, Montana. Don't ask about the other Manhattan. That was one time.

    I'm Montana Max. I'm a Bigfoot. I've lived in Montana longer than Montana has been Montana. And this story is about three little numbers. 406

    In this episode I cover where it started, why it's running out, what 406 Day actually looked like across the state this year, and what this number really means to the people — and the Bigfoot — who live under the Big Sky.

    History. Legends. Bad jokes. Dry delivery. All of it from memory.

    The 406 Life. New episodes every Tuesday.

  • Montana Feeds the World. Period.
    Mar 31 2026

    Montana's best-kept secret isn't a ghost town or a hot spring. It's the $4.6 billion industry feeding the world while everyone's busy watching a TV show about ranching. Montana Max — local bigfoot, reluctant podcaster, confirmed honey thief — breaks down everything you didn't know about Montana Agriculture Month 2026: calving season at 2 AM, the lentil fields nobody talks about, the women running half the operation, and why one in six Montana workers owes their paycheck to dirt and livestock.


    Funny, real, and packed with facts you'll actually want to repeat. Read the full story at the406life.com.

  • Montana's Ghost Highways
    Mar 25 2026

    Montana’s highways are beautiful by day—but at night, they tell a different story.

    In this episode, Montana Max takes you deep into the eerie stretches of road where things don’t always make sense… where figures appear and disappear, where headlights come out of nowhere, and where some encounters leave no trace behind—except the feeling that you weren’t alone.

    From Bear Canyon to Highway 93 and Black Horse Lake, these are the ghost highways of Montana… and once you hear about them, you might think twice before driving alone at night.

    Got your own story? You might not be the only one who’s seen something out there.
