They Can't Read... So They Talk - Mornings in D Minor

0:00You were listening to the Horse Radio Network, part of the Ecline Network family. But you can't make me laugh when we're going live, Shane. We're live. We're live. We're live. This is a real deal. Welcome out to Mornings and D-Minor. Truth do. Shane Minor. How about this guy? Who knows? Who knows? Hey, I appreciate the invite. Hey, thanks for swinging by, Luke. I really didn't think you were going to come. I just did that as a friend. You were like, hey, Luke, you want to come to the show? And you were like, yes, I was like, we're busy. Technical difficulties. Well, it's funny you say that because when you asked me to come on the show, I was like, I'm just going to do it because Drew would have his feelings hurt. But then when I heard Shane was on, of course I'm going to show up.

1:02Thank you, Luke. Absolutely. Thank you. That hurt my feelings. Who want to talk about that? No. No. No. Hey guys. Round one down. Man. You sounded the best you've ever sounded on TV. You can have technical difficulties. The best you've ever sounded on TV was the first half of the Bulldog last night. I appreciate that. Yeah, that was great. Thank goodness for Janie. Janie. Hey, Janie killed it. She did do a good job. For getting thrown right into the final. I love it because she's funny. She's got a good sense of humor. She's like, well, I guess I'm just going to lead you through the Bulldog. The whole time in my ear, the Jeff and Bush went down. I'm like, okay. Janie, you're going to intro Luke. So I'm sitting there. I'm ready. You know, get my wiggle on right before the Bulldog and starts. And Janie, you're like, all right, stir us on time. Luke, Frank, we know it. And I start talking. Nothing on the screen. And then I hear Luke's down. And Janie's like, well, Luke's down. I guess I'm going to run through this. And she did an amazing job.

2:02She's awesome. You know, Shane, you dealt with this, doing everything that you do. Live TV is its own animal. Anybody that's... Remember when I sent you a text, I can't remember what it was. I don't know how many years ago. And I said, I will never knock live TV again when we started doing a bunch of this stuff. Because if it's going to happen, it will happen. And you can have all the test runs in the world. And it's going to happen. That's right. And that's a testament to what his talent is. Because when you're live, there's no room for mistakes. Right? There's none. And they're not taking it back. It's like the bullet fired from the gun. Right. So it's like, but you're talented. Well, I appreciate that. But you guys know as well as any of the people you work with, the people that surround you. Butch and Jeff are absolutely phenomenal, amazing. So to me, going live, when you have that core group around you, it's just like you're having a conversation. And that's the best part about it. And that's a lot of fun talking with friends, those guys, they know their stuff. And really, we piggyback off each other.

3:03Butch is so fun to commentate the bull on with. Because he's been around for so long. He knows so much about it too. Right. So you know, we can go back and forth on that. Yeah. Yeah, it's so much fun. I mean, and that's like you say, leaning into good talent. And then also knowing that it happens and not getting blown up. Yeah, that's a big part of it. Like, just don't get blown up. It is what it is. It's going to happen. It's going to be fine. It'll get fixed. You know, being very seldom does it not work itself out. But during the mix right there, everybody can kind of panic. But that's why I thought Janey did such a good job. It just made me laugh. I was like, good on you sister. Like, she's the only one. How did she have a mic and not everybody else? Like, what was that deal? Yeah. So for whatever reason, the only mic that worked was the interview mic in the tunnel. And so she just happened to have it. Thank goodness it wasn't me that had to have it to do the ends and outs. Because I'll be honest with you. I'm not a very good in and out guy. Let's talk. We'll talk about the events all day long. You know, but I do want to say rodeo fans obviously are the probably the funnest fans the most. Anyway, the point being to that is when something goes wrong,

4:04there are also going to be the ones that ridicule you and criticize you the way. Oh, yeah. And I've found that since we started with the cowboy channel. You know, things get put on TV. Well, these fans, they're pretty cutthroat ruthless too. And things don't go how they should go. Sure. They don't know the backside of it. And we love you. I'm not knocking. Yeah. Anyway, well, let's say it's because we're pretty tight. You know, I'm like, we're pretty small nits. So we're hard on each other. Families can fight. That's it. We can argue. That's all right. So it's like with other sport industries that are commentating like that. Do you guys have, I don't know. Do you have like a some type of teleprompter or is it all adlib? All adlib. Everything he does is off teleprompter. Everything. 100%. Well, you're saying teleprompter. He's saying adlib. I can't read. So they do pictures for Luke. That's not okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, this is drawn. Yeah. I can't read. So a teleprompter doesn't do me no good. And if I could read, I couldn't read that fast. That's fast. We'll slow that thing down. But yes, all adlib.

5:04And you just, you know, talk. Yes. Yeah. It's just like this this morning. Like, what are we going to talk about? I don't know. I don't know the camera comes on. Here we are. Now, but that's, but that makes good TV. Right. It's real. And that's one thing I've learned with the TV spits I do. My phone keeps blowing. I know. Is that your agent? They must be watching the show. Everybody's watching the show and they're trying to be funny. Hey, we get on here. Is that Poshmark? What is that? Where was I going? Where was I at? I don't know. I had no idea. No idea. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, so pre show, post show, all that stuff. When they say, okay, this is what we want to talk about. And this is how we want you to present. I'm like, yep. No, I'm not practicing this. I'm not rehearsing this because when you do, then you sound robotic. That's right. You were doing that earlier before we started the show. Yes, I was. I was. He was. Very robotic this morning. Why don't you talk like that to the whole show? I mean, I like to get us through there. But you said mornings in deep minor. Very good show. But he was doing it like in a different posture.

6:04He did. No, I'm not doing the full Stephen Hawking. I mean, I might a little. As you're terrible. It's way too early. You rehearsed this. Yeah, I did. I did. Speaking of too early, what do you have going on last night? You were jamming all night or what? I did. I had a buddy of mine, Jeffrey Steele, who's a Hall of Fame songwriter. I've written with Jeff a long time. We've had hits together. He's a great guy. And we did a show for at Resort World for Rocky Mountain Oak Foundation. All the sponsors in RS and Browning and people like that were there. So, and Jeff did a great job. I love doing those rounds with him. It's a lot of fun. I mean, that guy just, he's a, I can sing my hits, but he's been a writer way longer. And he can just keep going forever. And he's so talented. You know, I wish I could have got him here this morning. He's actually singing the anthem tonight at the end of the year. Oh, really? Oh, wow. That's cool. Yeah, he told me if we kept singing last night, he'd have to do a sign language at the end of the year. Yeah. Look at me. He goes, we keep going. I'm going to be signing that freaking anthem tomorrow. I'm like, how late did you guys play last night?

7:04It was pretty late. I don't remember. Yeah. That was one of those nights. I thought you were wearing the same stuff as I am yesterday. I haven't had a shower yet. I thought that was him. That was me. Usual. It's me. Usual. Oh, man. Hey, so let's go ahead. Let's talk about last night a little bit. First round. Pretty dang good rodeo, huh? It was good watching. Watch the, watch the Cowboy Channel broadcast. And, man, good, good rodeo. Good start. How to feel to you? Yeah, it was good. You know, and I like getting down there to watch, by the time I get down there, the bear background is about halfway over. So, I didn't get to watch the first few guys go. But, man, those guys were turning on. It's fun to watch those, especially those young kids. Yeah. First time at the NFR. Yeah. And I got to shout out to Jason Frost, first time being here. His dad was a bulldogger from California. Jason, his brother's a bronch rider. So, that kid coming out first year. And he'd really turned on the last half of the season. Was fun. And then, obviously, the steer wrestling, which I got to talk about, half of that. Yeah. Was good. But, I'm going to criticize the steer wrestlers. Seriously. Oh, yeah. To me, that was one of the worst nights of steer wrestling that I've seen at National Files.

8:06Worst opening nights. Really? And it had nothing. And you're being dead serious, right? I'm being dead serious. And they'll agree with me. Were they double clutching? Or, what's the deal? There was some double clutching. But, these guys, these guys, that's some, my buddies. Yeah. My pals. Yeah. They were breaking at the pin. Steers were running. And when you're in that type of a situation, you break at the pin. And they're running. You get up, running up their butt. When you get off, there's only one place for your horse to go. And that's wide. Right. And if your hazer, which is the toughest place in the world, the haze at the Thomas and Mac, can't just wall them. Those steers are going to step back to the right. And we've seen that happen a couple with a couple guys. Horse broke up there, but horse got wide. Steer step, we hit the ground. Yeah. So they were one breaking at the pin, not wide. And they're like, well, we're going to catch them fast. You're not going to catch them fast when you miss the barrier. So you might as well break a little wider, once you get out the mouth of the box, ride over and get them caught. You know, again, and criticizing because I want them to do good. Sure. Absolutely, sure. Okay. I'm going to skip the bulldog. Tyler Wayspack did with Tyler Wayspack does. He broke wide, run his steer to the mill of pin, and through the crap out of Mikey does.

9:07That kid does not make mistakes. Yeah. He is liable to get a six skull buckle, which very well deserving because he does not make mistakes. But what about my buddy Will Loomis? I love that guy. I love Will too. And you talk to double clutch right there. Will got off the corner. And I don't know if they thought the gate didn't open or if he thought it was going to be a weird deal, wasn't it? Yeah. But there, you just roll with it because 99% of the time, even if you're off that early and you pick up, you're going to be late. If you keep your hand down and roll through there, you're going to get a good start. So Will, double clutch got really broke at the pin, up that steer's butt, and we've seen, you know, we've seen a hemisphere step back to the ride a little bit. Yeah. And you know, six inches here is like three foot at a regular season rodeo. Sure. So that's what I was going to ask you about. So I talked to T Wade and Wesley Thorpe up here yesterday. And this is something that comes up every single you're talking about the team rope. But the margin for everybody's like, oh, it's a small arena so it should be easier. No. The margin for error in the Thomas and Mack is exponentially higher. Yeah. Because if you're off the barrier this much, it's a ton.

10:09Yes. You know, six inches here is a steering. Well, you know, I mean. And in all angles. Yeah. I mean, I'm talking about six inches off to the right with your hazer. Yeah. Which way, which way of breaking? You're breaking your bulldog. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, the guys are fast enough and broken enough. If you need to ride a stride to them, ride a stride to them. But when you get trapped in behind them in this little arena, you're toast. That's funny because like when the guys talk about like head and steers, you know, of course, we're all taught, taught break, you know, center left to the pin, you know, the center of the center of the box to the left so that you have all that room. Well, when you're trying to rope fast and short score, you're going to ease over and also the other thing is, is you know, it gives you another six, eight inches on the barrier too. Yeah. Is it worth it if you're, like you say, if you're a little bit late, then you're not going to get that throw right there to be three anyway, are you? No. No, not at all. And these steers nowadays, they run so damn hard. Especially these first three rounds, you better take the start. And if one lets off, hey, that's, that's just lucky. Lucky. Yeah.

11:09You know, they're going to leave and go. So you better take the start, you better break, right? You better plan on running them to the center of the arena. Yeah. You have to, you know, 15, 20 years ago, when I first started, these steers were bigger. Shoot their feet were twice as big, their tail hung to the ground. Yeah. So they didn't have that athleticism or they weren't as young or as old. So, you know, just smaller, lighter, faster, quicker, they're going to take off and go. And like I said, if you blast the barrier and one lets off in the first three rounds, you're money. Good on you. Yeah. You know, use him. But right now, you can't, you can't think that you got to break middle. No, I'm going to run them halfway, ride your horse. Yeah. And then go make your run. But, you know, let's skip that. Let's go to the team open. How about the team that didn't rope together all year? That's cool, isn't it? Holy smoke. Right? For flat. For flat. For flat. For flat. For flat. And for first round. Never won one before. Right. Lighting and having. How cool is that? And he has a prosthetic. Yeah. I was talking, and I don't know if that's common knowledge in the team world. I didn't know that. You didn't know that? No.

12:09Right? Is that something we talk about? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. So he, when he was a kid, I believe he got part of his, I don't know the whole story. And I don't either part of his light cut off. So he has a prosthetic. I don't know if it's left or right. But that just goes to show you a kid that got injured. Handicaps not in his vocabulary. No. And wants to go in, be determined, and go around with it. So handy. I love it. So handy. That's awesome. Yeah. Put a great story. I listen to the short score podcast this morning. And it's just very cool. Like the guys are so appreciative. They're buddies. You know, they live 45 minutes down. They grew, they've roped together for years. And just the way it all turned out. Like when the partner shake up, shake up, shake up, shake down. It's early. Is it shaking? I don't know. You say what you want. We can make a brilliant word. Yeah, it's our show, right? Right. So, yeah, when the, when the, when the whole partner shake up came, went down, they're like, well, we'll just, you know, this is easy for us to rope together. We rope together all the time. And we're right here. And we're right here. So it was pretty dang cool and come out. Four flat, win the round.

13:09And, and the team ropers talk about it just like you said. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And they're feeder, even though they're bigger steers, that means they're going to try really hard. And they're feeder moving. And they're at same deal in the team roping. If you're off at a little bit, you're off at a mile. And you watch a bunch of teams go down there and do that. But like, I got to talk about Riley and Brady. First of all, it was great to see them back. It was so good to see Riley and Brady back. They've been friends with me since we were little kids up in the northwest and having them back. But smart team roping off the barrier, run one all the way down there. I think there were six something on them. But man, the average pay is 94,000. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We talked about that the average on the pre show on rodeo live. And when I first, the first year when the average is like $38,000, go rounds paid 15. Right. So I mean, there's really not, say that back then was a lot of money. But not a big variation. And you said it last night, I'm going every round. Every round. Every round. But now looking back at it or looking at it now,

14:10that's $100,000 paycheck. So I don't think I would change my approach to it. But some of these guys, maybe they do. Yeah. But the go rounds are paying what 40,000 now. So I don't know. Pretty dang close. Speaking of Will Loomis, he's going to have to be deadly in those go rounds. He is not out of it by no means. Yeah. He's going to have to make some adjustments. I love Will Loomis. I love all those guys. Yeah. I love Will. You know, so yeah, that approach in the average, like you said with the minors. Let's go get them. The minors. That's right. All right. Last name, last name. Come on. Underage. That is forever. I know. That is the handsome side of the family. That's right. Moving on. Where are we at? The Broncride. The Broncride. Hey. Welcome back. Welcome back. Right. Had him on the pre show or the rodeo live. I keep on the pre show. He's that's what it was. He said, man, I don't know my horse. But statler said I could be 90. So what do you do? 90. Yeah. Right. Let me just do this. Yeah. And what I do. He's down enough in the Broncride.

15:11Just go ride him. Just go after him. Just go ride him. He's going to have to ding him in the rounds to have a chance, which that's a pretty rank rate. That's probably one of the funnest races the last few years has been the Broncride in my opinion. And still so fun to watch. I mean, isn't it? Pretty used to win. It is. I love watching the Broncrides. Yeah. That was pretty cool. Yeah. Yeah. He's a cool cat. Yeah. How do you not be a fan of that guy? You have to just hate yourself not to be a fan of Stetson ride. I mean, honestly. And that family for that matter. The whole family. Yeah. Yeah. I've always said that once you meet them, it's like if you don't love them, you're incapable of loving anybody that's such sweet people. Yeah. Great family. And, you know, they're winners on so many levels, but they're going to try to help everybody win. They're going to elevate everybody. And you can see it. Even for people watching television, they're taking those behind the shoot shots. Yeah. You can see how they are with the other riders. Absolutely. They're there for them. That's amazing. Yeah. You know, and I get tired of hearing the little deal. Oh, they're the rights. They get extra points.

16:11Oh. They work there. Can we say but or kind of? Yeah. Yeah. You can say that. What about the other word? I mean, you can say that word. Yeah. But they work their meals off. Yeah. To have the success they have. Yeah. And if somebody always told me, you know, luck is for rabbits. And that's how it is. You know, those kids work their butts off. And that's why they have the success. Like just like their dad did. You don't you don't do it one after another. You don't get lucky with that many kids that many times from dad down. Yeah. That's not luck. You know, I mean, so I remember years and years ago. And it's a little bit different because it's not judge. But tough Cooper and I were talking about this. And it might have been on an interview. But we were I remember we were sitting at the arena there at Roy's place. And we were talking about it. And he said, you know, the only thing that really bothers is they tell me how lucky I am on my draws. They didn't see him and the arena is doing the workouts that I got to see him doing. Yeah. They were like, oh, his calves jump up in his lap.

17:11You should see what this dude does in the arena with his jeans on. Like the workouts that when when I mean, it was I was a fan of tough watching him. And it wasn't just for show. It was every day. It wasn't tying calves. It was the lifting weights and the doing all the stuff every single day to get those gold buckles. Well, he just draws good. And he might out work. Well, and I might out work. I seen a thing that ranks so true. It was on one of those social media sites. It said, I've failed more times than you've tried. So don't call me lucky. There you go. Wow. I mean, and that isn't the industry. You know, isn't that the best. Yeah. That is outstanding. Yeah. And I mean, that's 100%. So Luke, I'm sure you've told this story a million times. But when did it finally click with you? Like when you like growing up, you just like to go out and hunt and hang out. And like, and then when did it all this sudden? You just decide, well, I think I'm going to take this bulldog deal series. Yeah.

18:11So when I was a kid, my brother KC was st- Tony actually still wrestled a couple times. We have the VHS of him. Have you guys seen that? Yes. You have seen it. I've seen it. I think if you do, we should play it. He had appreciated that. I would get that. Yeah. I bet Tony would love that. Tony was a preacher at my wedding. So the brand queen was like family. Yeah. Tony. Yeah. Tony said that he, however he did it, he like called me the bride. Like that was pretty neat. I got totally get that. Yeah. I could see it anyway. Anyway, anyway, enough about me. So KC was bulldog and he had John Black, a great family family friend out there that was bulldog and helping him. John W. Jones come out a little bit and help. Joey Ames. And I was at the age where I didn't really care about anything. Right. You know what? I didn't say Travis Caddwell. Travis and out helping KC. Oh. Well, that's right. Yeah. Travis helped me. He was my guy. Oh, he was your guy. Yeah. Just asking. And I'll tell him he was. Travis was very influential in my stir wrestling. Right. But I would come in from hunting.

19:11They'd be throwing steers down. And my dad would get a couple loads of steers every year for team reopens. And there'd always be some minute or minis like dwarf steers. Well, those were mine. They had big horns and size of a calf. They would throw them down for me than I would run them. And I had those steers for five or six years. Wow. And so I'd come run some steers. I'd get back in the Jeep and go hunting. Freshman year hit. I'd jump the bail a bunch up to that point. And I'm like, this is kind of fun. And when my freshman year hit, I started jumping steers and went from there. That's it. I hated roping. Did you really? Did you really? Well, I didn't hate it. But when I swing my rope, I get a figure eight in my loop. Because I have a- He didn't hate rope and rope and hate him. There you go. But I am for everybody watching out there. I'm a five. So looking for a run. Yeah. I've got it perfect. And the way these are paying better than if- Yeah, you might want to try with some bail here. You want to enter? Yeah. But yeah, so that's kind of- That was it. I loved the physical aspect of it. I love not having to have a rope bag or a rope can or a pagan string.

20:11And when you're bull arguing, go get mounted. Be done. Pay some money if you win and- Back home. That's awesome. That's nice. It's awesome. You got to figure it out. Yeah. That's it. It's easy. I am jealous, though. What these guys are winning now from when I retired. I mean, this rodeo- You know what I'm saying, man. Stepped up. It's cool. So- It's cool. We were talking yesterday, like one of the big stories in the team roping side of things is- Caleb Durgers has an opportunity to win a million bucks this year. This year. Like not just in the PRCA, of course. But with all the faturity winnings, all the big rope and winnings and everything. But he's sitting at 9.59 something. Wow. Unreal. You know, so you just put a couple of- Two go rounds. Two go rounds. And a dude's won a million bucks team roping in one year. Yeah. How cool is that? Like just that the entire industry has got to that point, you know. You know what I say. I say it's about time. Yeah. I mean, honestly, because- I've looked at, okay, look. I look at professional sports, football, NFL, Major League Baseball, all that stuff. These guys, man, they get these big contracts. They got teams.

21:11They got coaches. They got all this stuff. These cowboys, you know. You're out there. You're your own guy. You're making it happen. You're working. There is nothing for those guys. You follow me? No. They're making their own way. There is no contract. No. There is none of that. And I've always been one of those guys went, man, how do you- I wish the cowboys made that money? Yeah. Because they're the hardest-working guys. Yeah. Well, paying fees, insurance, trucks, trailers, fuel, everything. Any other sport that's paid for by the league- 200%. That's what I'm talking about. It's great. You're 100%. Right. And, you know, to that point, I think it's about time, but I think there's even more out there for us. Yeah. I love that. Even though- We're lucky, guys, the entire industry, you know, especially over the last handful of years, the Yellowstone Effect is a real thing. 100%. You know, the cowboy hat is cool. We were talking about our buddies that resist all the other day. I mean, they're, you know, they can't build hats fast. Right. That's good. Dang near a year behind and building cowboy hats. And it's because this industry, there's something wholesome about the Western industry.

22:12We love our animals. We've got all that going forward. Right. And even though the world has changed a whole lot, it is still cool to be a cowboy. It really is. Yeah. And what Taylor shared and did and then with everything else, you know, all the initiatives, cowboy channel, we're getting out there and being seen more. Yeah. And it's very, very cool and we're very, very fortunate. I mean, your industry, look at Kojo right now. Yeah. I mean, he's everywhere. What a great ambassador for. Right. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. And you know what our industry and what we have that they don't have. We have rodeo moms. Yeah. Hot rodeo moms. I saw a shirt at, I'm going to get it at cowboy Christmas as I love hot rodeo moms. You're hot rodeo moms. She is over there. Right over there. There she is. Right over there. Look at her shaking her head. There we go. I'm sorry. Right. Yeah. Pretty lucky. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty lucky. He ain't wrong. I know. You ain't not wrong. I'm not wrong.

23:12I'm not lantic. It's early. It is early. How much more time we got on the show? Yeah. We're just about there. Hey. So Shane. So we started, we started this show last year, just kind of kind of being funny because this is what it's all about. This is really our show like there is. There's, yeah. This is it. Yeah. You're perfect. So Shane real quick. For those people out there that don't know your story at all, just real quick. 30,000-foot-view TV guide version and singer-songwriter. You singer-songwriter. You used to be a cop. Yep, I was an LA cop. In LA cop. LA, that's the crazy thing. Yeah, yeah. LAPD went undercover in the high schools. The 21 Jump Street deal. I was undercover in the high school. So my unit did that. Has a student? Yeah, I went back to high school undercover. Yeah, I had a total different name. I'm a basketball player. Yeah, basketball player, yeah. He's messing with you. No, no, no, but I was. No, I was, I was. That is crazy. And then from there, I've, you know, I was always writing as a kid and saying it in these honky-talks and wherever I could get in and somebody came in and found me one day. It happened to be a guy in Nashville.

24:13He showed up, moved me to Nashville, had a record deal for a while, and toured with Shania Twain, and a great time with her. It was awesome to start continued writing and start having hits for other people and love what I do. And I'm a big ambassador for artists and writers. I love it. I've been around Nashville for 30 years. I'm originally from, I was born in Modesto, California. You know, so I've, you know, covered all those grounds out there in Oakdale and all that stuff.

Go over there and listen. Yeah. Eddie, you don't want to sing it with me? No. Oh, Garcia's. Margaritas. Two, four, one, cold. Draftous, sickies, beer. Same round table. When we're all able. That's where they find us. Long time musketeers. And we hang, and we drink. Live, and we're cussing. We say what we think.

29:15We lift each other up. We cut each other down. And we know where we're from. It don't matter how big they think we become. We're reminded and then some. If our nose gets in the clouds. That's us amigos. No we go who's alive. Here's Eddie's verse. What's up lately? Yeah. Wives and babies. It's always the same thing. In between the jokes. First loves first cars. Broke bones, broke hearts. And puffing on cigars. And a lot of blue and smoke. And we hang, and we drink.

30:15And we live, and we cussing. We say what we think. We lift each other up. We cut each other down. And we know where we're from. It don't matter how big they think we become. We're reminded and then some. If our nose gets in the clouds. That's us amigos. No we go who's alive. I sure love to see those. Amigos right now. Amigo. I love it. Good stuff. You don't want to be on the wagon to hear that song though. Yeah. That's great. I thought Eddie did a good job writing this. Absolutely. A second verse is fitting. Yeah Eddie that was great. Great job. Good job Eddie. Good second verse. Good job. Really? Very awkward.

31:15Things we've. Always when we're on stage doing stuff and they have a performer come up, and they have them singing next to me or in the cameras on me and I'm just sitting here, like all awkward. No. That's how I feel that. Really? Very awkward. Jan во budgets over looking at his phone and his watch, that was your phone. Why were you looking at your phone. Does it stop going on? I'm busy. But yeah, he is looking at his watch. And it's like, what are you doing? He's like wait for this. What have you? I get it. But you have not heard anything to you. to Lewis Armstrong think to myself what a wonderful one on the first show. Nope, that's not a first show deal. Really? Nope. No, that is not. Why? Stephen Hawking's is a first show. There's a theme every show. Lewis Armstrong is not the theme today. When is Louis coming? I don't know. We'll have to. We'll have to. I want to go back to the song though. I mean, that resonates with our industry, our sport, our bodies, our buddies, our buddies. That's true. That's true. That's a line, absolutely, man. Just listen to the word. Thank you. Thank you.

32:15And I think, not only aren't you, I think that, worldly, there's people that aren't Western, but these are our meagos. They don't. That's right. No matter how far we get, we always go back. We always have that common bond and that thread. You know, that's what that was written about. Yeah. That's awesome. Good stuff. Yeah, thank you. Well, gentlemen, I'm not done. I don't care. You're done. No, you're done. That's it. I thought we were going to finish the rodeo. We're already tied out and open a bull ride. Nobody cares. Nobody didn't talk about bull riding, did we? They do those. They have those in Mayfield. Oh, man. How about that? Oh, hey. A man that saw the mission. Hey, we got to talk about that. And here's why he has been doubted in this arena. Oh, and you could tell last night. Oh, that's what I thought. We were sitting next to him. I was like, oh, wait. What was he? He was like a six what last night? Six eight. Six eight. That's right. So you know, when, like, watching Isaac or these guys college football, when these linebackers go take somebody down and they stand over and they go, let's go. Yeah. When he did his, let's go last night.

33:17Let's go. Like it was, if that didn't like as a competitor, I know, just get a hold of you. Listen, I was so cool, man. It was so cool. I haven't ran a steer for 10 years in that arena. And when he did that, I got to go. I bet you were like, like, I've been there. I've been there. Oh, yeah. Because you know that he had that. Oh, you think I can't. Yeah. I mean, and you listen to the interview and stuff. Like, I love that, man. But I think that is so cool. Then Riley Webb just come out and do what he does when he got it on him. Oh, damn. Oh boy. Yeah. If that calf doesn't go, if that calf doesn't go down. Exactly. Yeah. He don't. They tie. They tie right there in the round. That's what we love to see in the sport. That head-to-head battle. And two buddies. It's not like they had to do. You know, right. And then Cassie marrying the barrel race. She's never been here before. And they're awesome. First out wins around. I'm so tickled for her. Yeah. I don't know if you guys watched the Luke Bran Quino show, but I had Hayley Kinzalon a lot two weeks ago.

34:17You have a show? Yeah. Yeah. He's a full queue. Yeah. That's right. Had her on and she came to the house and did some lessons with me. If you haven't checked out the Luke Bran Quino show. Oh, I did. I actually did watch. What do you mean? You watch all of them. But religiously. We know we did some lessons in the ring. It was it paid off last night. Yeah. For, you know, winning third and around. Yeah. Or second. I'm sorry. You're such a good coach. I know. He's a great coach. Great coach. Great coach. How do you not love this guy? People he's another one lovable. At least something. He's really something. Yeah. He's really something. This guy. Okay. Last but not least. Stetson Wright again in the bull riding. Now he did have a lot of confidence coming in. Well, he did. He did. He did. Yeah. That's what he did. Yeah. Can I point out my Tennessee boy that I watch grow up. Those Hudson Bolton. Yeah. God love that kid. That kid. He rodeoed from junior high to high school rodeo with my kids. And it was a fixture at our house probably because I had three daughters.

35:17But he was there. But I freaking up. Ballot. Fair Hudson. I love you. But no, he was great. So proud of him. You know, to see him come through the rings like he's done and did good. But man, there's just a bunch. There's a crop of kids coming up. That's just amazing. 100%. Amazing. Yeah. That's what I was just going to mention. I love that we're back to the good bull riding at the NFR. Not that it was never bad. But you know what I'm talking about. There was a while. You know, the PBR and everything where it's like, man, we're not getting the guys. And now these guys are riding them. Absolutely. And I mean, it was cool last night. That's what it's supposed to be. You know, and I mean, the bulls are so ranked now. Yeah. I'm not knocking the cowboys by any means. No. I mean, the rancor with the talent level of the cowboys, here comes the talent level, all the buck and stock. But it is pretty dang cool to see him cover in that many bulls. That's right. That's off the stock contract. Absolutely. Absolutely. Well, when Donnie Gay on rodeo live, he came on and said, we're going to ride 10 bulls tonight.

36:18Yeah. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Exactly. We're going to ride 10 bulls tonight. I love this. I was like, Donnie, you're out your mind. That's what they rode. And when they rode eight, I'm like, damn, Donnie knows what he's talking about. Yeah. That's weird. That's weird. We know what he's talking about. What camp is Pete Karin? Whatever Jeff Metters is in. I think they're coming. Oh, him and Jeff are. I think so. Yes. I believe so. I believe so. Because they go on ranchers doing all the thing. Rancheros. But I don't think Tandy. They're not pizanos, are they? No, I don't think so. I don't think they're. They might be. Tandy is. Yeah. I love him. I just go with Tandy and Manny beginning every ride up their rodeo camp. Wow. They'll make sure that they're the last ones. He takes his bottle to keel on the long ride and make sure he's right there at the end. You know who's fun on the ride? The NFL. You know who's fun on the long ride? The whole week up there. Oh, yeah. I'm a fun hater. The long ride is the whole week for him.

37:18Is the whole week. I had Trabacadwell ride double three rides ago. We rode the whole long ride double. Oh, there it is. No, you did. I swear. I've led him. One year he made me lead his horse. Like he just climbed on his horse and handed me a lead rope. And I let him. I did that when he made the finals. I let him in the ball. Same thing. So you know what's that? I mean, he spent a lot of time with that camp. Yeah, but we love you. I'm telling you. Yeah. He rode double with me on the long ride. That makes that 18 mile ride about 47 miles. Yeah. Maybe you double it. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Why would you do that? It wasn't my idea. He just climbed on. What am I going to tell him? No. He hit 100%. It might have been the big dream too. Like he had a really big dream. Well, the big dream. The big big dream. He does have long arms. Yeah. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Ridic. You guys are. I'm. Now I am done with. Yes. Yes. Way done. Well, that's 945. Don't we go to 1040?

I've got plenty of time. You got plenty of time. You can just keep going. It's fine. Boy. I keep trying to wrap this. I have never tried to wrap a show so hard in my life. I just can't do it.
