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.

My mother told me I could be anything I wanted to be, so I became an issue.

And Dale Hummel.

Are you ready?

Now on with the show.

Welcome to Beyond the Ring.

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

Hello, hello, hello.

It is a great day. Big, big news.

I know.

Would you like to announce it or shall I?

I will because I'm the first one that told you about all the things.

So anyway, Tara and Craig finally got engaged after 30 years of being boyfriend and girlfriend

together. And for those of these that are unaware, Tara would be my daughter and

Craig would be our manager. So both very close. I couldn't. I am extremely excited. Did I assume

this day was going to come? Yes. Just very unsure when.

And also on a random Monday. Like I found that off. Well, they were both judging in Florida,

different shows. I believe Craig put effort out to make it romantic. Can you envision that?

No, I can't. I cannot either. But I believe he did.

Oh, well, there you go. And Terry explains me today that I have to be social at the wedding, I have to dance, I have to do all those things. So when she texts me, I just told her not to invite you, just make you send to check. That is just so nice. So nice. What I said. I am a moderately social person. You would be much happier missing the wedding and writing the check.

I would not, not her wedding. Most weddings, yes, but not my daughters. Okay. You would be much happier walking her down the aisle and being done. No, no, no. I'm excited about this. It's good. It's good. It's so good.

Dale also believes in arranged marriages, so the first one went through.
