Yeah , A young G . Ma you know , I thought they were going to be mad because of their age but , if I was a grandpa in my thirties I'd probably be pretty pissed off .
So I got to admit , man , you and mom are the real reason why I put the bruise out of the the podcast . Did you know that ? I did not yeah , dude , yeah , yeah , you're the reason , man , because I was all , like you know , to get more younger adolescent

Being yeti junior world final qualifier dude yeah , that was um unexpected , but uh couldn't have been happier to go , and it was . It was a great experience . It didn't exactly go how I uh anticipated it . Um I just I don't know . I guess I got down there and , um , everything was going good and I normally have .
I've only been riding bareback horses for , oh man , since last june is that's been not even . I mean , what is that ? Six months maybe ? Um , and I rode my first one in glenwood , washington , and , um , I was the only guy riding in the novice and I I rode him for eight seconds and I was so excited .
I was like I just won the rodeo on my first bareback horse . But I missed my mark out and I didn't even know what a mark out was , and so I got . I'm just screaming and shouting . Everybody else is screaming and shouting , but , um , man , yeah , I'll never forget that .
That was , uh , that was definitely probably one of the biggest highlights so far of running bareback horses .
How did you find out , man ? How did ?
you find out , you made it to the nfr um so I qualified which this is kind of a rough
¶ Junior World Finals Qualification
story um in mcminnville , oregon , in oh man , what was that ? It was like my I want to say , probably seventh bareback horse . And so the first day it was a junior world finals qualifier and it was an MPRA rodeo sanctioned at the same rodeo . So the first day I rode and ended up blowing my hand out and I broke three of my ribs .
But the next day was junior world qualifiers and I was like man , I got to qualify , I can't stop now . So , of man , I gotta qualify . I can't , you know , I can't stop now . So of course I stupidly got back on and I ended up getting my hand completely hung up and drug under the horse .
It actually stepped on the side of my head and ripped the top of my ear off and broke my other four ribs and . But I qualified , I think , with 70 points . It was like a 70-point ride . But ended up in the hospital for the next two days and got all stitched back up and then went back home .
Yeah , but when you found out I mean , were you excited or were you like man ? It was worth it .
Oh , 100 . Yeah . So when everything first happened , the only question I had when I finally got up was did I make it ? Did I qualify ? Yeah , what was my score ? And I got doctors around me . All my friends are just telling me to just shut up and calm down . Yeah , and I found out actually one of my . I went to the hospital .
I found out , actually one of my . I went to the hospital . I was sitting in bed in pain and one of my buddies , caden , came in , who also was trying to qualify and unfortunately didn't . But he was like you qualified . And , oh man , I was so excited I was trying to jump up and down , but I was laying down in a bed . I couldn't do it .
With how many ribs ?
Six ribs broken .
I got seven at that time seven seven in my ear , still ripped off and bleeding out from behind my head . What was the exact words you used and said when you found out you qualified dude ? I'm a bad motherfucker oh yeah , dude , heck yeah yeah so six months on , bareback , I mean . And then nfr did you ever think that you would make it to the nfr ?
yes , it's junior , but dude you , you got into the nfr man right , um , to be honest with you , no , um , but I did always have so . In july , I think this was probably third horse I actually rode in hawaii , in um , maui , hawaii , where I ended up meeting casey field and um again , I , I mean , I first , when I first started rodeo , it was all bulls .
I only knew people that rode bulls . That's all I focused on . I only knew people that rode bulls . That's all I focused on . I didn't realize or focus on any other event . Then I started riding bareback horses . There was this guy at this rodeo in Maui . He was helping me set my rigging on and teaching me . He was like where did you get that rigging ?
I was like I got it from a buddy . He was like , man , that's the best setup here . And I was like , oh hell yeah , some random guy just told me . Well , later on that day I learned it was Casey Field and had no idea .
And so the next day we talked again and I introduced myself and actually you know , was kind of fanboying over the guy , like actually you know that I knew who he was and , um , he helped set it on again and I was sitting getting sat down on the horse before the other guy was even out of the arena .
He told me to sit down on the horse , run my hand in and um , he actually slapped me in the face and told me to tell myself I was a bad motherfucker and I was man that's kind of .
you know , casey man , that's a story dude . You know my new like yeah , that's kind of my new ritual now I was like holy shit .
Casey Field just slapped me in the face .
At first , though right when he did that , you were like dude for real Like are we going ? There , you want to throw hands , or what ?
Yeah , and so I sat down on the horse .
He slapped me and just told me you're just yelling at me . You know like you're a bad motherfucker and um , this was we .
They actually had put me on like the best horse they had there . Um , you know , I was a way out of there again . I missed my mark out , but it came out and just I almost went ass over tea kettle , yeah , and I got myself brought back , had him rode pretty good , and then he jerked me to the side and it was just ragdolling . But I made the eight again
¶ From Bulls to Bareback Riding
and I think I went eight or nine horses before I finally got bucked off , which , um , that's when I was , you know , kind of like , wow , I think I could do this , I think I , you know , if I just keep putting the work and , um , focus on this one event , so I stopped riding bulls right after Hawaii , um , and I think I don't know , I think the whole
reason I got out of the bowls , um , to be honest with you , I got kind of scared of them , you know .
I just kind of started .
Yeah kind of started falling out of love with um , riding bowls and it had just been so many injuries and head injuries and I was like you know , I I got to switch events and I just wasn't making it where I wanted to be . It wasn't really going anywhere .
You know , I was riding here and there winning money , here and there a buckle or two , but it just wasn't you know where I wanted to be .
So , yeah , I made the switch to bareback and luckily I had a lot of friends in the MPRA that were super helpful and supportive of that and , um , yeah , loan , loan the gear when I needed and help set the rig in sounds .
Sounds like you've been listening to the podcast . You already answered that question . So , man , why why bareback ? Though , like , why not saddle bronc , why not ?
uh , why ? I let's see . So I guess , right when I hmm , I rode bulls and I think at the time I rode six saddle bronc horses why riding bulls at the same time before I was like this isn't for me , it's just , it's not One . I definitely wasn't very good at it , I just wasn't . I'm just not that coordinated .
You know to move my feet lift at the same time , you know , and it just didn't feel very . I don't know to move my feet lift at the same time , you know , and it just didn't feel very . I don't know how to explain it . Like unnatural , not even that , it's just . I needed something rougher , you know . Like I know that sounds crazy , just I'm a little .
I was just a little more crazy than your average saddle bronc rider , and so I want , I wanted to feel a fight like I did with the bulls and , um , I got on a bareback course and that has been the best brawl I've ever had between anybody or anything .
So well , mike , mike reed says it's a dance . Man , that's a dance . Do you feel like it's a dance ?
uh , no , no , I feel like it is a fight to the death . Um , every time you're on the horse , every time I get on , you know I put my hand in there , I run it in , lean back , and you know it's . Who's the batter motherfucker here , is it me or is it this ?
and it's hard , so , um , I think bulls was more of a dance for me than bareback , for sure explain it um well , you know , when I'm riding a bull , I'm looking at the top of his head and I'm just following where he goes . Yeah , um , I'm just moving my body with him . You know , know , it's me in this bowl .
If I can , we can sit and dance together for eight seconds . You know , we're both going home winners and , um , bareback . It just doesn't feel like that . It's . We both hate each other , we're not partners , we just want to kill each other and go at each other , and that's what we do every time . It's fun , it's exciting .
I love those horses , I love all the animal athletes .
Have you thought about doing two sports , two events All around ?
No , because , to be honest with you , I won't get on another bull . I won't buy a saddle either . I think if I had the money to go out and buy a roping horse , I would definitely do that to try and save my body , cause I am , I am beat .
Okay .
My body hurts .
Okay so , but bareback , you're going to stay , true ?
Yeah , I'm going to stay with it , yep .
Okay , what if ? What if , uh , your , your , your boy , wants to get involved , You're all for it . Oh , all for it 100% You're going to push him , not push him what ?
I definitely . I think I'm going to push him more towards it . I think the only big difference between you know , what I wish I would have done and what I'm going to make him do is finish school . I dropped out of school my sophomore year to ride bulls and never graduated , and well , that's I mean in some situations in the real world .
That's been a pretty big hold up for me . So I definitely want to push him to finish school . But if he wants to high school rodeo , that's totally fine too . Yeah , I just never got that opportunity . Finish school . But if he wants to high school rodeo , that's totally fine too . Yeah , um , I just never got that opportunity .
I came into this when I was like 15 , you know , mom and dad , that I was crazy and I , you know so yeah , I got you .
You ever think about getting your GED ?
Oh yeah , I actually uh just got
¶ The Fight vs. The Dance
enrolled at a college up here to get it yeah .
Congrats , man .
Stick with it .
If you need anything , reach out , will do . All right , all right . So then , a far trip , man . And how was the trip ? I mean it was busy , it's . It's very expensive lately , so how was the trip ? Did you spend a lot of cash on the lady ? What , yeah ?
so the trip , the trip was good . Um , I , I like expensive things and she does too . So , you know , we definitely spent a decent amount of money , honestly , mostly on food , with gratuity tips that they charge you . Um , but vegas is , it's not my thing . I , I don't drink , I don't smoke and I don't like to party . I'm not a big crowd person .
Uh , I'd rather be at home cuddle up in bed watching a movie than out . You know , I , I had my fair share , I did those things , I did those and you know I've really mellowed out and I honestly just want nothing to do with it anymore .
But yeah , that's what's kind of nice about Lindsay she's a very extrovert , outgoing , loves to go , you know , hang out with people and do things , and I'm introvert , so we balance each other out pretty well .
But , dude , you were styling with those pearl snaps , dude . I was like who's this ? Rock star dude .
Who's this rock ? Star dude who's this rock star ? Yeah , guys , I think when it came to the outfits for the nfr um , I'm gonna have to give a shout out to tristan parker , I think he , uh , might have gone into my head a little bit okay yeah , yeah dude rock star man .
I was like who ?
is this kid ?
First NFR and he is rolling , yeah , like you were a high roller man , but you deserved it , man , because six months in and you , you know NFR . So that's , that's , that's wild , that's wild .
Yeah .
Did that trip and the experience did it get you hungry for more man oh one , yes , 100 , I um .
You know , just being in the same like vicinity , knowing that all these world champions and professional bareback riders are probably just a couple miles , staying down the road in a different hotel , was just a huge eye-opener . And just the fact that I made it down there in the first place and I was riding on national tv , um I , I , it definitely pushed me .
I want to be in the big show . You know , I got you , um , I made it to go all the way .
So did mom cry when she saw you on tv yes , she did .
Yes , all right , yep , um , my parents unfortunately they didn't make it out there , um , so they watched it on tv though , and they they said it was a blast watching it . They just wish they could have been there . But yeah , my mom bought pretty emotional , she said yeah , that's badass dude , that's good .
Congrats , man . Congrats . So with the baby and six months in , you go to the nfr . Will you go for your push ? You know , I always ask that question are you gonna go push ? Are you gonna go big ? Are you gonna go prca ? Are you gonna go what ?
so right now , um , with the baby coming , it's been very up in the air . Um , I bought my card for the prca for my first year . Congrats , um , thank you .
But it's just , you know , it's not that I'm scared of rodeo and you know I want to go , I want to do all these rodeos , I just I can't get hurt , because I got to be able to provide for a family that I built myself , so so look , just stay , even keel right now not yeah step back , not go , I wouldn't say , take a step back .
I think we're just going to keep going at the pace I've been going . I'm definitely gonna hit pretty you know , 99 of the mpra's this year . Um , I just don't want to take on something that I know I can't handle and then end up getting hurt , so okay the lady gonna travel with you oh , 100 .
Yeah , she loves rodeo , she um , she's all for it okay , okay , that's , that's good so if she's going , the baby boy is gonna go too , correct .
Yeah , that's awesome dude , that is awesome man . So yeah , first question I'm just gonna ask what do you roll up in , dude ? You have a camper , you got a trailer , what ?
so I um had a camper , ended up selling the truck and camper it was on . And now I'm actually trying to look for a new truck because now I got a baby coming and I drive a single cab F350 . So that's not going to work . No , it's not .
So I think right now we're going to be rolling up in mom's car , in the toyota corolla wow , that's yeah all right that's you're rolling hard dude yeah , I know , I had a camper in mind and every you know , and I kind of panicked , I , right before we found out , um , we having the baby .
I had an extended cab , you know a nice Duramax , and I found out we was having the baby and I went nuts I mean happy nuts , but scared , I sold everything I owned . So I was like , oh my man , we need money , we need money
¶ Future Plans and Family
and yeah , that was the only thing that was really on my mind . So I got you know out of all the debt I was in and sold everything and just kind of put away as much as I could you said the lady likes uh , rodeo .
And who's the passenger , princess , you or her ?
most of the time her only , because the rodeos we do go to so far have been in my truck and it's a five speed and she can't drive it , so okay who controls the radio ? Her ? Yeah , her , I'll give it to her . I know I'll give it to her , that's her .
What does she roll up with man Taylor Swift Country ?
music Motley Crue , I mean any , yeah , old rock we have pretty decent close to the same music taste . Sometimes she throws some weird Taylor Swift in there . I knew it , yeah , and I'm like man , I don't like this . And then I kind of get into it and I'm like man , I don't like this .
And then I kind of get into it and I'm like , oh man , yeah .
Yeah , yeah .
So all right . Who wins on the choice of food man when you guys are on the road , her or you ?
yeah , definitely me . Um I'm normally I'm always prying for taco bell . Um , I've got an obsession with taco bell . It's pretty bad .
But what's your ?
go-to . Oh , the grilled cheesesteak burrito , no doubt okay , not every time . Layer five layers no I , I can't , I can't . Actually it's too much . Taco bell's got this problem with drowning everything in liquid cheese and I can't do it , I can't , I can't , actually it's too much .
Taco Bell's got this problem with drowning everything in liquid cheese and I can't do it , I can't . It makes me want to throw up .
Do you do the Baja Blast or are you the Starry guy ?
Coke .
Coke okay .
Coke , yeah , every time .
Last question Do you eat peanut butter jelly sandwiches ?
Yeah , I eat them yeah , okay yeah how do you make one ?
how do you build the pbj sandwich ? And since I haven't , I haven't asked that question like I used to , because a lot of people got I don't think they got bored of it , it's just like they were expecting it . So I'm like dude , you guys are expecting it .
I I'm not going to say it anymore , but so I have to ask , man how do you build Definitely , I want to say 70% peanut butter , 30% jelly . Okay , and it's always crunchy . Always , okay , always . Now now , when you open , going to change it up . When you open a fresh jar , of what kind of peanut butter do you use ?
I use Skippy or whatever it is .
You know that top part . You know it's so fresh and so smelly . Goodness , it's just . You know it's the aroma of the peanuts . Right , right , right . Do you slather that on your bread , or do you like I do ? I just easily , easily , take that knife right around , make sure I get that spread and just put it right on my tongue .
Or do you just put it on the bread ? What do you do ?
I the top layer , I just put right in my mouth and then all right , there's nothing like it . No , and then the next one will be um , only actual bread yeah , it's 100 .
Yep , all right . So there's also another question , man . If you're doing pbj , there's a lot of cheese bread eaters . I heard that you are . Tell me about it , man .
Is it a ?
real thing ? Is it a real thing that you cowboys and some cowgirls love just cheese and bread ?
Yeah , 100% I . I , if I was on the road and I had the choice between the two , I'd pick cheese and bread .
Just cheese and bread . Just cheese and bread you like , not grilled , it's just plain old white bread and cheese .
I mean , yeah , I like you know , if I had to eat one thing for the rest of my life , it would be grilled cheese sandwiches , and on the road that's as close as I'm getting , so 100% .
When you're grilling them , do you use butter or mayonnaise ?
Butter 100 . When you're grilling them , do you use butter or mayonnaise butter , and then most of the time now it used to be just cheese and bread , but sometimes I'll do ham and cheese , okay , and I actually put mustard and mayonnaise while I'm cooking it , and that's good okay yeah , do you ?
do you ever like the south ? Um , you know , I lived in georgia . I'm from oklahoma , I was just born there . My dad was , you know , in the military , so I lived in the south . A lot did you ever put with ?
When you're grilling it , you put the butter , the bread , you put mayonnaise , cheese , mayonnaise , and then the rest , you know or no , I , yeah , you do put . Man , you do grill .
See my wife yeah , it's like that's . Oh , you're saying , do I grill the mustard and the mayonnaise ? Why I'm ? Why is it cooking ? Yes oh 100 . I do not put that on after it's cooked right , dude , it's not the same all right so yeah , my wife's the one that's tripping then , because I tried to tell her .
I'm like like , hey , did you put mayonnaise on it ? She's like , no , who does that ? That's gross . I'm like , are you kidding me ? So ?
yeah .
Well , thanks for entertaining that man . Yeah , of course . What's your plans this year ?
¶ Sponsors and Career Goals

So , um , this weekend is actually I don't . Jerry howell is one of the stock contractors for the mpra and he's putting on a rust dog feel I think it's a bull riding and bareback riding in Tillamook down at the fairgrounds and um , they're allowing us to buy our cards beforehand or when we get there .
So whatever money we do win , it'll already go to this year's standings before . Uh , elma rodeo is the first big rodeo of the season at the end of March All right .
So , it'll be .
March and then everything . I mean I'll hit them all until the baby's born and then I think the first one back will probably be the end . So baby's born at the beginning of August , august 2nd , but I mean I think he's going to come about a week early .
Either way , I think the first rodeo back after the baby will probably be enum claw at the very end of um okay , and if everything's been going well , I want to hit . Because I live up in bremerton , washington .
I want to hit the kitsap county rodeo in bremerton in the prca this year okay , and that's going to be your first one that would be my first one .
Yeah , I'm excited for you , man , I , okay , and that's going to be your first one . Yeah , that would be my first one . Yeah , excited for you , man . I'm excited . Dude , that's awesome . All right , you going to hit up a ICA ?
I think so . Um , I like to try and make it down to CUNA every year . Okay , I've got a pretty big fan base down there I live down there for a while and 90 of my family's from boise so and outside of that area , so it's it's pretty cool .
I don't see them very often and they always come out and watch when I ride there you got a bigger , bigger fan base than you think , man and believe .
I don't know , I mean dude , you know , I'm gonna , I'm gonna shout him out .
But shout out to nick reynolds of eight seconds strong , dude , he , he's a big fan right , yeah , he's not just a sponsor he actually , you know , pays attention and he speaks very highly of you , man , so shout out to nick reynolds of eight seconds strong yeah , real good so and josh too , and I , if I , if it hadn't been for josh , none of what's going on
with eight seconds and um , yeah , or the unbreakable would be possible . So yeah , man the doc will be on eventually too . So but no , you're , you're , you're , you're making waves , dude , you're paving the way , not just , you know , for the kid and the the lady , but for yourself , man , you should be proud . I think you are , I know you are , it's just .
Yeah , you know , like you said , I'm gonna have to explicit this , this episode , but you're a bad motherfucker dude . So keep it up , keep it up dude , keep it up man . So your ultimate goal , man , just as a bareback rider . Ultimate goal right now , before the kid , but , um , after the kid too yeah .
so I think right now , in this moment it's really been from last year to this year I want to try staying in a little better of shape , you know , not just hitting rodeos every weekend , but trying to , you know , because I'm hurting all the time when I get off , and so I just want to try , you know , tighten up those muscles a bit so it doesn't hurt as bad
. Stay in shape . I don't want to get jacked or nothing . I just want to be small and fit and smart and smart yeah , 100% . And a lot of the guys that I've been talking to .
I'll do a shout-out to Kyle Bounds he's been extremely helpful and Levi Walters they both have been very big mentors in this whole bareback riding deal , and there's more than there's just that , but the list could go on for how supportive everyone's been with you know just the six months you've been in , you know before nfr .
Do you consider yourself a mentor , someone kids can look up to ?
I think so in in a way . I do get , um , a lot of DMS on Instagram . Uh , like , how'd you get into rodeo ? You know , like , how do I start ? And , um , you know , it's really cool watching you ride and seeing where you came from and that that , you know , that lifts my heart up and keeps the spirit going and makes me want to keep going , for sure .
Um , so I , I would say yeah , I would say yes .
Is it true that you're sponsored by boot barn ? Yeah so you're doing something right .
I , I'm trying , I know it was . It was really weird how that whole thing went down . So I went in there and um one day and somebody had made a comment on a belt buckle I was wearing Um , it was the first rodeo I won on a bareback horse down in Flemeth , oregon . And um she was like , well , you know , if you're interested in sponsorships , we do .
Um , you know nonprofit profit stuff like that . And um I was like , yeah , I mean hell yeah . So she gave me a corporate number and I ended up calling corporate . They emailed me like an application kind of thing and um the application got accepted .
They sent me like a contract which actually just ended in February , and basically it was um I I didn't get paid by them , but I got free clothes whenever I wanted .
That's awesome .
Yeah , so I could . I could go in there . Um , I think the only annoying part was everybody asking me to get them free clothes , but they asked for your certain sizes and specific , so I got to go in there and grab . You know well if it's me , but yeah , that was super cool .
Did you go and try to get the missus something ? Just be like babe , you earned it .
Not for free . I just go in there and buy her , buy , you know , whatever she wants . You know , just put it on my tab . I guess put it on my lifetime of tab .
So you going to go for the sponsorship again , I guess ? Put it on my lifetime of tab .
So you're going to go for the sponsorship again . Um , I haven't really decided . I honestly , I think for the 25 , 2025 season I I kind of want a whole new lineup . You know , I have , I have Nick .
