* ''Literature/JoePickett'': Outdoorsman Buck Lothar hosts a radio show where he badmouths Joe's involvement in the Miller's Weasel scandal that led to environmentalism triumphing over economic concerns. Buck later admits this was mainly a gimmick to draw in more listeners and sell more merchandise, and while Joe has mixed feelings about this, he and Buck become FireForgedFriends while working a manhunt together, with Buck offering to retract his previous insults on his next show.
