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.

We're rolling. I hope that everything horrible you needed to say today, you've already got out of your system.

0:05.0

Because now it's documented. I hope so too. It'll improve my personality or my reputation better if I got it all out. That's the thing is that we don't edit this and we get that all the time of like, do you edit stuff out? I'm like, no, we just roll the ball off the hill and wherever it goes. That's where it goes. That's what makes.

0:00.6

You know, the very first, I didn't know what a podcast was until I did one.

0:23.4

And that is unfortunate. Risky. Yeah. Because I was used to like interviews where people, you talk on so many interviews you and then they take out the stupid stuff and the us and the dumb and everything. and the first podcast I ever did was the one for NFR, what is it, Extra, NFR Extra or something.

0:41.0

And it was one of their first ones.

0:42.4

And it was in podcasts, we're kind of, you know, and I just, I just thought it was an interview.

0:45.6

And then I listened to it.

0:47.0

And wow, all my us and duh and all those were all in there.

0:49.9

You guys didn't edit this at all.

0:51.5

Exactly.

0:52.1

So after that, I do know what a podcast is, and I've been a little bit better about it. My favorite, I think my favorite function of podcast, and this is probably across the whole platform, is that you hear somebody that has a story that they would normally not tell because it takes a while. Right. And so you got the time to go, actually, you know what, I've never actually really finished telling that story because it was a 30 second interview or a clip like that. And so I feel like you get way more in depth and a better look at somebody or understanding because there is no timeline. I agree with that. I would say that too because you don't, you're usually trying to figure out how to say something in the least amount of words that it makes sense and and you're right in a podcast

1:28.8

they usually just kind of last and it can have as many details as you want yeah well and how many

1:34.4

times if you're sitting across the table from somebody like having a cup of coffee do you feel like

1:38.0

i need to hurry and get this story over with you're sitting there you're just in you're in the

1:41.5

moment well yeah and people generally don't want to hear all you know they want you to get to the heart of the story. Like don't, there's some people that are good storytellers. There's great. We mentioned earlier that we both know Josh Edwards. He's a good friend of mine. One of the best storytellers, I think I know. You almost sad when his stories are over. It are. Like you like he could take a story that is just really not that.

2:01.4

You were you were there. It really wasn't that funny until he told it. But he tells it and you're like, that was the greatest story. You're like, yeah, that was a great moment. Wait a minute. I saw it through the wrong filters. Exactly. And it's still true, but his exaggeration and his storytelling makes it so much better and I don't have that ability I'll just disappoint all your listeners I'm

2:01.3

probably not going to be as good at it as Josh. I know I'm not. I disagree. Because I disagree. I got to for people that don't know, we've spent the morning feeding. We got to go look at horses, go look at bowls, go look at the ranch. When I saw saw your video i had no idea this was coming and i

2:35.1

i don't stay quite as plugged in as i used to but i see a video pop up and it's like

2:40.4

it would to me i guess what i would compare it to it would be like the dallas cowboys saying

2:46.0

we're just not going to be a football team anymore and be like what i didn't know that happened i

2:49.7

didn't know people did that so i see the video and instantly I'm just made of questions and we haven't hung out at all. And so I thought, well, I don't even know if that's something you want to talk about because of course, you're getting 10,000 questions. Everybody's probably wanting to try to buy horses. Everybody's trying to figure out what this transition is going to look like. And so to ask if it would be okay. And for you to say yes, I feel like I can't even start the podcast until I say thank you. Well, I appreciate that. I mean, you drove a long ways to be here. And I'm really glad that I got to meet you. I mean, we could have done this over the phone. And I'd have been happy to, but this is way better because I consider you a friend now. We've had a lot of fun this morning. This is perfect.

3:24.7

You made feeding a lot more fun this morning. This is perfect.
