Welcome to Conventionally Uncouth with Reed Goodman. The show that gives the mic to the men and women who’ve been drilling, pumping, producing, and wildcatting for decades, long before shale. This show catalogs knowledge, shares stories, and reminds us: there was a life before shale. And there will be one after. Stories straight from the oilfield, real insights, lessons learned, and (probably) a healthy pour of whiskey.

Sat down with Andy Claughton in the ranch house at Savannah Ranch in Meyersville, Texas. I operate a well on this property, and the family is steeped in Oil and Gas! Thank you Andy for the time and the look inside a country boy’s brain on Leasing, Land, Minerals, Ranching, and growing up with a Geo for a dad!
