In the Dirt w/ Trevor Wells

Real Estate , trevor Wells . How are you man ? I'm good . How are you Doing alright ? So is this the first episode of Miles and Mountain Podcasts in the dirt with Trevor Wells , or not ?

Yeah , this is the first one this is going to be the first one . We had that other one not too long ago and then we're starting this one . I'm excited .

Yeah , I was telling Dan the man and I was like yeah , man , I'm getting Trevor Wells back on . He's like again , I think he's a little jealous . But you know , the cool thing about Dan the man is he's enjoying the rodeo scene now . Yeah , sir , he's like . That's one thing I've gotten out of your podcast , nick . That and the latest episode of Kelly Thrush .

I haven't listened to Kelly Thrush yet . I've been a little bit behind on listening . Right now I've just been busy with work and stuff . I've been trying to catch up .

Don't worry , but he finally understood why I changed it to just Miles and Mountains . Right , the story hits pretty hard . Man . Kelly Thrush is the guy that had that liver transplant . Okay , sir . Episode 185 and he heard that and yesterday he told me he was like you know what , Nick , I never really enjoyed the rodeo until I started listening to your podcast .

So yeah , that's always good .

That's how my season's going . How's your season , man ?

It's been great man , it's been great . I picked up some small deals here and there and I'm picking up some more deals later on and I think my last one is Milton Florida in December , a couple of days after Christmas , new Year's Eve weekend .

Yeah , yeah . So I've noticed , man , the more I get of your boys down there , right . I say the southeastern boys , the more I hear you're kind of a big deal .

I don't know . I don't know man , I enjoy just being around all these folks , man , they're great folks and I just company's great . I mean the bulls are great , boys are great . I mean it's just one of the things I like to see all the newcomers coming up and then just watching them get on , and it's just fun , it's just fun .

When you say newcomers newcomers in the circuit where you work , or just the up and coming talent .

Just up and coming talent man . We got some young folks that you know they probably ain't got their cords , they probably just either just doing expeditions or just off of a permit or something like that , and we'll go to , like these other bullriding and stuff around , you know , just getting on everything they can .

Yeah , the talent that's coming up , man . See , that's why I , like I , went to the one of the big four rodeos , the PRCA rodeos , and what the state of Washington yesterday , right .

Yeah , and I like it .

I go there to watch all the events very closely because , dude , I tell you what man , those tie ropers , those calf ropers , you know the team roping and the breakaway man . Geez , the talent , the talent that was crazy . I've watched some breakways .

Now you know the breakaway ropers . They're fun to watch . They find the watch right . When they wrote , they turn their head back around to see if they broke that barrier or not . That's I mean , it gets intense .

There's this lady in the breakaway yesterday . One in two seconds dude , you blink , you missed it .

Two seconds , two seconds .

Two seconds I was like , oh my God , but dude , stellar , stellar , athlete , yeah , man , man , oh man . But no , it's fun to watch . But I use those big rodeos to just find that talent and enjoy those events . Now , the big ones , bullriding is not that big Bullriding , ain't that big man . And you get some big names . And you know , jb Mooney was here .

yeah , Well , I can't rope with the crap . And these kids are coming up , man , they're roping like crazy .

I mean all day long too .

I mean some of them will rope all day long . That's all they do and it's just crazy how good the talent is just coming up . I mean it's amazing . I'm glad too about it because I mean rodeo down here . I mean it's big , there's a lot of roping and stuff . I'm glad to see all these four riders coming up and ranch rock riders and stuff like that coming up .

Oh yeah .

The rope is big down here and we got some boys down here and girls down here that can rope pretty dang good .

Yeah , there was a couple of Florida kids or Florida athletes out there and I was just thinking of you . I was like I need to tell Trevor Wells . I didn't bring my sheet up here so I'm like I'll get with you later , but not . But it's almost to the point that you know where the talent is coming from and where the best ones are from .

You know people that got on just fair back . Saddlebrock and wrench bronze . Now I mean a lot of them going that wrench brock riding now and it's a lot of Florida boys are going doing that now . It's getting pretty big down here . What , why do you think oh , saddlebrock sir , what ?

why do you think they're going to wrench bronze ?

man , I honestly don't know . I guess it's just a new event and it's just it took off more than people thought it was . I mean it looks fine , I wouldn't do it , but I mean , I mean I don't know why it's gotten so big . I mean it's , but them boys are getting on wrench brock man . We got more wrench brock riding than fair back and saddlebrock .

It's a lot safer . Yeah , yeah .

I guess you can say that a little bit at least .

Yeah , yeah . So , man , the small rodeo , I went to John Day . Man right , had a blast after mountain race . You know the funniest thing , man , the best thing of the night was cow hide racing . Cow hide racing , what was that ? Okay , the horse starts where the cow hide is .

We do a lot of , I guess , adult calf scrambles , what they call it 18-year-older you have to be 18-year-older , and that's the guys we had a couple months ago .

I've seen some of those . Those are brutal videos to watch , man .

Yeah , this little Zeeboo , the stock contract that I worked for his name's Del Ray . He owns a 3R rodeo company . Look him up , great guy , but he has this little Zeeboo . That man , this sucker right here , is mean . I mean , he ain't no bigger than 6 , 700 pounds , you know Nothing too too big .

Yeah , I mean that right there . But no , so , yeah , is it the money that brings the guys there ? I mean it's not that much money . If you pull that rope right , I think there's only like $100 . Yeah , so maybe it's like a clout , like , yeah , man , I got it .

I got my ASB . I got my ASB , but I got it , dude , I got it . I think so . But funny is my wife has done that one time . She almost got it . She almost got it one time , yeah .

All right . If you weren't bullfighting , would you even step in a ring with that ?

I don't know , I probably would , just to kind of show off a little bit . I'll be honest with you , I probably would , I probably .

Speaking of getting handled , you've been getting hooks , man , and you've been showing them to me . Man , I'm like dude , how many times are you gonna just get a hook , a horn , a bull , full face frown ? Oh man , what ?

the heck . Sometimes you just can't help it . You know , sometimes you just got to . I mean , last weekend we did a little bull riding

It almost seems like dude , you just , hey , bull , hit me . That's what you say . You know telekinesis like bull , please hit me , I just need a hookin' .

What's up with that ?

man , what's up with you ? And just needing that .

Sometimes that's just like I said before . I mean if I do get hooked or get hit or something at one time , that right there just pumps me up , yeah , I mean that's my pump , that's my grit to get going man , yeah , it's just one of the things , I enjoy it . I mean you gotta love it to do it , you know .

Yeah , well , yeah , but goodness , what does the wife say ? All these hookins lately ?

Nah , she , just as long as you're , all right , you're good .

She probably gets an adrenaline rush as watching you get hit too man .

Sometimes , sometimes she does .

Yeah , he upset me . You best get that guy , I'm sure she probably thinks of her back in her head .

He deserved that one .

Right right .

How's dad man ? Dad's doing great . Dad actually judged this one that we had this weekend . He has his last dummy judging for his PRCA and that's in Ocala , I think that's going to be next weekend . So he's going to Ocala next , ocala , florida , next weekend for his last dummy judge for the PRCA . Yep , okay , so he's doing great man .

is he going to do outside of the PRCA ? He ?

well , he works a lot . He does HVAC . He's like a supervisor for the HVAC business and he does the same stock contract and worked out who I worked for . He does a lot of judging for him and stuff but he one of his main things right now football season has started for like PeeWoo football stuff is about starting all that stuff .

Is there anything he doesn't do ? Geez , I got a . How old is he ?

He's a jack of all trades , I'll tell you that .

Man shout out to Mr Wells , but geez , you would think he would slow down , but he's running PeeWoo and he does it all . Little kids just running all over . He's out there running .

Yeah , I mean he does high school football too . He , he runs , but he keeps up with them , boys yeah . I mean , if you look at my dad , he's a big dude . You know he gots a little gut and everything , but that dude keeps up with the rest of them .

Geez , so . So next one instead of you know watching a video online , you hit , you know getting a hook and everything . We're going to see dad beating those high schoolers on , you know , as they're scoring . Running backwards , yeah , running backwards , yeah , yeah , High , high , stepping backwards man You're going to see pops out there just doing his thing .

Yup , Yup , Yup , and that's it's . It's funny to see him do that . I mean , like I said , he keeps up with it running backwards too . I mean he'll keep up with it running . It's funny to watch . I'm good at refting . Now he knows his books . Yeah . Yeah so that's pretty much what he does .

Yeah , yeah . So so , instead of getting hooks , man , what's the highlight of your season , man ? The highlight of my season so far , so far , man , so far yeah .

Oh really , man , it's I like this . We went to Montgomery Alabama last weekend . I didn't fight bulls there , I just went up there to watch and it was a buck master that they had out there and they had some bull riding team or bull riding going on out there and stuff . So I went just watch , my dad clowned it and just hang out and stuff .

Do you think , outside of bullfighting , you think you'll be one of those guys commentating ? I think you'd be good at that , man , the commentating . You know the I don't know .

I thought I like to be like doing that kind of stuff . That I'm sorry . I like to do that kind of stuff , you know , just commentating , talking . Really I just like to talk .

Yeah , I swear , man . That's why , like when I had you on , I'm like dude , I need you on man , because you got that , you got that personality , you got that charisma , you got I don't know man .

Yes , sir , I never actually thought about it . You know , I just I've seen them guys , you know , on TV commentating and stuff on my PBRs and stuff like that , I don't know . I guess it's just one of them things . I never really thought about it . I would like to try it .

Right . So so here's my thing , man , I've been to a few rodeos , right .

And there's some commentators there .

I'm like how did you get this card ? How did you get this job ? You know , because number one , they don't say the names . I'm like , how do you do that ? I look at the day sheet and the person that was supposed to go went to you know two events or two heats ago . I'm like come on man , come on get with it .

We have some guys that were like that , you know , but there's this one dude , he commentates and he's , uh , the announcer and stuff he is , he's staying . Good , he's actually um , getting some stuff up for the Dothan , which is where I'm from , right here in Dothan .

Yeah .

Um rodeo next year and it's supposed to be a big event and he's expecting to get like three to 3600 people each night . There you go , there you go .

So maybe you can take some notes off his books and be like hey , I've seen some of his books and he has a lot .

Now , I mean he has anybody that he's come across . He has their names , what they do , what they achieve . I mean he's , he's good .

Yeah , well , they , they can't go on their blind light . Yes , he , you know , is the one million man , when he never made one million . Now he's like $10,000 , man , you know . But yeah , yeah , yeah , he just yeah , the , the announcers that are up there . They're up there for a reason , man . They do their research , they do .

Yeah .

Yeah .

This name is Mr Jerry . Mr Jerry getting pumped up now .

Yeah , yeah , okay . So maybe that's something to look into , man , maybe a side gig or something , man , because that's you know , for , for , for somebody to be excited to get a horn and then say like , hey , I just like watching . That's the highlight of my season . You better be careful , it might be out of a job soon . Now I'm good .

So , so .

So what's the one person you said , one person already that caught your eye . What another kid that's just started . Who is it ?

So really , how long , how long he's he's , he's like 14 years old , his name's Cody Garrison and he ain't , he doesn't ride , he doesn't do nothing else . He fights bulls . He fights a lot of junior bulls and he , every now and then , he'll get on some bigger bulls and try to fight them stuff .

Cody cares , 14 years old . 14 years old .

He's 14 years old .

Did you ever think you were a fight bulls ?

when you were 14 ?

No , no , not 14 years just now starting high school man . Yes sir .

Yes , sir , yeah , he's a . He's a great kid . His parents are man . His parents are amazing folks do anything and everything for everybody , but they , they love to see him so happy that he loves the fight bulls , that they're willing to take him anywhere to do anything for him to go fight bulls .

Yeah .

And that's that , that boy right there in the future . You have to look out for him , I guarantee it 14 , man .

He'll be in a far at 17 if he keeps this up .

He keeps up , he'll be a dang good little hand man . I didn't .

I would have thought bullfighting had like an age limit , at least 16 , but this is like to find all odds and hey , I make my own rules . Hey , some games , yep . So what's next man ? What , what , what do you got ? What's your next event ? So , once .

Once I get off here , I'm actually going to go down to Hope , florida , with all of them Southeast boys down there and we're going to buck some junior bulls this afternoon Not too many of them , I don't think , there's only like 10 , about 10 of them and then just maybe , if they , if we have time , probably bucks and bigger bulls , if we have time or something

Who would have thought stock contractor would listen to my podcast and be ?

like hey .

I never know , you never know , any of the stock contractors out there . They needed , you know , a voice . Hey , hit me up please . Nah , but no , I was at a mountain race and I found out that J Dove got you know some extra , the extra you know marks on his calendar . And I was like what ? And I just was exhausted from the mountain race .

So yeah , man , that was awesome Dude that was , I think . I see some of his stuff on Instagram . Man , he's doing good . He's doing real good , Glad to see it . Glad to see it .

I think , besides , you know , just going to the small town roadie is . I really feel that that was the highlight , man , especially in then getting a lot of these guys on the podcast . But just knowing that it helps man was the highlight of my season .

So you did that right right .

Mountain race . I did the mountain race the week prior to the 100-mile error and this past week , after a week of recovery . This week was the first time I wore closed-toe shoes . So yeah , you know , like some people , when they walk or they do something out of the ordinary , they get like a blister here or there .

Or you know , maybe a month's smaller one .

Well , I had blister on one part of my foot , you know the ball , the heel , the side and they all combined underneath my foot . Right , yeah , Right now I'm peeling skin off . I know people really want to listen to this . I'm peeling skin off wherever those blisters were .

That's a lot of miles now . I can barely do one .

Yeah , I did so . The last mile , the last two miles , took me almost an hour to do . That's how bad it was , man . That's how bad it hurt , but I ended up doing 79 miles in 20 hours , so I could have killed it , just my feet . I couldn't do anything anymore , man . Was that the highlight of my season ? No , because one I didn't finish .
