Welcome to Beyond the Ring, a podcast that covers all things in the stock show industry, from the informative to the insane, starring Ryan Rash.

I thought the only donkey shows were in Mexico, but evidently you can see one every night this week on primetime.

And Dale Hummel.

Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance.

Now on with the show.

Welcome to Beyond the Ring.

This is Dale Hummel, along with co-star, Ryan Rash.

Hello, hello, hello.

I assume the current events will be completely dominated by the Democratic National Convention.

I didn't watch any of it.

Feel fortunate. I don't watch any of it. Feel fortunate.

I don't know why y'all do it.

I had 15 texts last night from people I hadn't heard from any year.

Are you watching this?

No.

No.

And when they scan the crowd and I see those sitting in the crowd buying into all the bullshit,

it makes me sick to see people that unaware of the real world.

I told a very good friend from South Dakota that asked me if I was watching and I said,

no.

And they said, well, what are you going to talk about it?

I said, I am sure Dale is glued to the TV convulsing and hyperventilating. We will be fine.
