-
#170 - Bobby Joe Hill
Truly a master class in the business of Mexican steers, to the team roping cattle for the NFR since 2017, to the famous Teague Texas wild cow milking. My old friend from all the way back in the CTYRA days, Bobby Joe Hill.
-
#169 - Kirsten Vold
Not just an episode for the ages. This one is literally an episode for the generations. As Vold Rodeo comes to a close, Kirsten was generous enough to let me come take the tour, and she tells the story of her decision to step away from the rodeo business. DO. NOT. MISS.
-
#168 - The Lamberts
Some of my closest life long friends, and a whole family who just seems to excel at everything they do. I was so happy I got to catch up with them at the High School Finals in Rock Springs. This is a great episode.
-
#167 - High School Nationals Contestants in Rock Springs
Tag your friends if you hear them in this episode: We had a blast hanging out at the Classic Ropes booth in Rock Springs interviewing contestants with a Cameo from Brian Macnamee. Great getting to meet some of y'all in the process.
-
#166 - Click Thompson
Three time PRCA Photographer of the year, and a man who could moonlight as a philosopher and gets my vote for "people who should have their own podcast"... great episode. You'll enjoy getting to know the man who's usually hidden behind the lens.
-
#165 - Leighton Berry
Injuries are just commas, not periods. Just a great episode. Leighton is a great interview and one of the best bareback riders in the world. An unexpected bonus, we took a deep dive into the cultural shift happening in the event of bareback riding as it resurges from its depths just a few short...
-
#164 - Russell Riggan
The first episode we have ever done that offers over a million dollars to each listener. That's the price that's been paid for the information offered (cashing in on it is up to you). Former college football player, professional team roper, and now the man behind "Talent Financial Services" and...
-
#163 - Kason Wolfe
Trust me on this. It's worth a listen. Kason has partnered with Cinch to bring "Cinch Breakaway Roping" into reality. I don't care what field, I'm a fan of innovative thinkers, and that's exactly what this guy and Cinch Jeans are all about.
-
#162 - Braxton O'Bryan
Cowboy, horse trainer, amateur comedian, TikTok influencer, and all-around good dude. Wickenburg, Arizona has become a place for people just like Braxton to expand his borders, and this year we were all better for him having done it.
-
#161 - Trey Yates Round 2
A deep dive into some really interesting questions about life, mental health, Godly concepts, and how roping is a metaphor for life. Truly a fun episode.
-
#160 - Jared Sharp
A really gifted young vet who has been making a name in the barrel racing, team roping, and performance horse world. I knew him back in his younger days, so it was fun to get to catch up on everything he's done since.
-
#159 - Doug Arnew
The man behind a pretty poorly worded Facebook post that went nuclear this week. Call it the 2025 good deed for Flatbed, but I wanted to hear from him and see if maybe what was said, and the storm that followed, wasn't exactly what he had intended. We're cowboys, and we've always let a man speak...
-
#158 - Tanner Bryson
One of those guys who everybody knows, has been around for a long time, but I didn't know a ton about. Had a great chat getting to know one of the most prolific horse trainers in professional team roping, Tanner Bryson!
-
#157 - Bucky Campbell
Bucky Campbell... truly that is all, and that is plenty. Enjoy the most entertaining storyteller we've had on the podcast to date.
-
#156 - Michael Jones
There are so many stories and careers that include the name Mike Jones! From a Jelly Belly trailer, to the private jet trips, to Jackal, the stories go on and on. We were lucky enough to sit down and hear a few of them!
-
#155 - Bill Hill
We should all feel very fortunate to sit and listen to a legend like AQHA Hall of Famer, Bill Hill, walk us through his life story. In his 90's now, he talks about the years in the service, to bringing some of the best sires in the AQHA to the spotlight. I had a great time getting to sit and...
-
#154 - Dusty Tuckness
There are two names in the business of cowboy protection, Cody Webster and this man. I had a really good time sitting down with someone that the whole rodeo world has come to admire. There’s nobody who wouldn’t benefit from spending an hour listening to his story and philosophy on life.
-
#153 - Devin Marcum
The man who stepped in this year as president of Resistol, filling some HUGE shoes and is taking the whole brand in some amazing new directions, while maintaining the tradition we have all come to appreciate from the Resistol brand.
-
#152 - Kelsie Domer
When you think of all the momentum that’s surrounding the breakaway roping, the face of that movement is Kelsie Domer. Just a freaking dominant force that’s bringing this sport to the forefront
-
#151 - Speed Williams
Speed freaking Williams 🫳🎤
-
#150 - J.B. Zielke "The Lost Cowboy"
If you listen to one podcast this whole year, make it this one. A guy who’s Cowboy’d on 6 continents, and would probably make it 7 if Antarctica ever gets cattle. PLEASE trust me…this is the one
-
#149 - Cole Robertson
Canadian team roper, social media personality, and just general entertainer stopped by to hang out and talk about everything from rodeo communication to burnout, to his future in the communication wing of the Western industry
-
#148 - Cyle and Christeena Dennison
I said it at the time: This couple is the podcast we didn’t know we needed. NFR header and his truly hilarious and sweetheart wife Christeena stopped by, and it was awesome from the word go.
-
#147 - Maggie Burke
One of the most gifted visual storytellers in our industry Maggie is making a name for herself behind the camera at the Cowboy Channel. When we HAVE seen her in front of it she’s no less talented. Happy to have had the chance to catch up with her
-
#146 - Rumpchat, Cowboy Mafia, Everything Rodeo
Rumpchat, Cowboy Mafia, Everything Rodeo, and the Flatbed all in one place. We all landed on the same stage and got to discuss the ins and outs of podcasts in this space, it was a really fun episode. (Well, four episodes in one)
-
#145 - Mike Beers
The man whose legacy needs no introduction, excited that we got him tracked down. It’s one of those episodes we all love, full of old rodeo stories
-
#144 - K.C. Jones
NFR bulldogger and the mastermind behind Pro Fantasy Rodeo and Rodeo Vegas. (Wait, Snoop Dogg is playing Rodeo Vegas this year?) KC is a rare combination of talent inside the arena, and true innovative genius outside of it. There’s no such thing as a favorite episode because all of them are so...
-
#143 - Cade Swor
Seven-time NFR qualifier and assistant coach to the Rattlers, the Fort Worth-based PBR team. There are just some episodes that I selfishly enjoy because it connects so much to my own life and experiences. This episode is that. It was awesome getting to catch up with an old friend and hear more...
-
#142 - James Trawick The Hondo Rodeo Fest
The Hondo Rodeo Fest The man behind the latest installment of a huge stand-alone rodeo music event coming to Phoenix at Chase Field November 7-9th. Just a freaking rank episode about a guy and an event we are excited to get behind.
-
#141 - Cole Patterson
Let’s be clear…Cole Patterson lives up to the hype. I know this sounds cheesy, but I don’t care, there are world champions in the arena and there are WC’s in life and Cole is both. One of my personal favorites and I know you’ll understand why, check it out
-
#140 - Logan Harkey
One of the rockstars in the world of calf roping horse training, and arguably one of the nicest guys you’d ever hope to meet. Truly a pleasure to get to sit and visit with him, glad we get to share this one
-
#139 - Dylan Hancock and Cole Clemons
A couple of young guys making a huge splash in the calf roping world, one has his first NFR wrapped up, and Cole could do the same this weekend at The Governors Cup in Sioux Falls. Great podcast
-
#138 - Preston Pederson
Fresh Off of what has to seem like a life-changing win at The Pendleton Round-Up Preston talks about the battles leading up to it, and life outside of just the rodeo world. It’s fun to see it when a guy is willing to be open and honest about the whole story not just the clips that make social media.
-
#137 - Cheecho nation
One of the biggest personalities in the Western world opens up about WAY more than just announcing rodeos, and creating social media content. It’s fun when an episode takes an unexpected deep dive, you’ll love Jesiah “Cheecho Nation” Zapata if you didn’t already.
-
#136 - Sammy “The Bull” Gravano
The Bull is one of the most prolific figures in the history of the American Mafia… underboss to John Gotti in the Gambino family, and a man who walked away from the entire business when his boss turned on him. This episode is part 1 where he discusses his life now after leaving the Family. This…

#135 - Justin Maass
You aren’t supposed to pick favorites so here’s what I’ll say…if, like me, you were a calf roping fan between the years of 1999-present I suspect this could be the episode for you. One of the current godfathers of calf roping from he won, to the horses he had, to the people he’s helped bring up...
-
#134 - Brad Narducci
One of the most entertaining talents the PBR has ever had (in my humble opinion) and for sure one of the most talented music guys in all of Western sports. I had a blast recording this, and I’m sure you’ll agree. He’s awesome
-
#133 - Marty Becker
Guys like Marty are why this podcast exists, one of the nicest and certainly one of the most talented people you might not have ever heard of. Selfishly this is one that I personally was looking forward to for a long time, glad we finally got it recorded
