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 actually prefer being too much. It runs off the week.

And Dale Hummel.

Avoid stupidity. It's a shortcut to regret.

Now on with the show.

Welcome to Beyond the Ring. This is Dale Hummel, along with co-star, Ryan Rash.

Hello, hello, hello. Ryan, we might as well talk about the weather in the state of Oregon.

I didn't know it could get this hot in Oregon. I'm going to be honest. I did not. I had no clue.

So Ryan is in the southern Oregon, Medford region, Jackson County, the famous Jackson County Fair, where my wife grew up.

And I actually like that climate in general.

But you're saying it's not working out at all right.

You must not have been here at the fair before.

It was a long time ago.

And I do remember it does get warm.

It's, it's hot it's hot, but.

How's the, how's the show, the showman, the pigs?

The pig show the past two days has absolutely been the most pleasurable pig sorting county fair

experience in the history of the world.

I cannot say enough good things about these people.

The children, I cannot.

I am deathly afraid that the cattle show is just not even going to come close to what I have

experienced the past two days and I will probably get cranky.
