The Holy Grail of Tangents: From Monty Python to Rodeos and Bitless Riding

The gang's back together... and absolutely nothing is off limits. Ben, Simon and Jenny reunite for another laugh-out-loud episode of Shut Up and Ride, where the conversation takes more twists and turns than a jump-off. From nostalgic chats about those magazines, to the world of rodeo, the rise of bitless riding, and everything in between, it's another episode packed with honest opinions, plenty of laughs, and the kind of tangents only this trio can produce. Ben is back on top form, delivering some of his funniest one-liners yet, Simon tries to keep things on track (with varying success!), and Jenny does her best to referee the chaos. As always, the team also shares what's been annoying them this week, tackles the hot topics from across the equestrian world, and proves once again that no subject is too big, too small, or too unexpected. Whether you're mucking out, driving to a show, or just in need of a good laugh, this is one episode you won't want to miss. New episodes when ever we have time.
