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.

Once upon a time, the hardest decision we had to make was to choose our favorite color in a crayon box.

And Dale Hummel.

I live in my own little world, but it's okay. They know me here.

Now on with the show.

Welcome to Beyond the Ring.

This is Dale Hummel, along with Ryan Rash. Hello, hello, hello. And by the way, you left out the star, Ryan Rash, but that's fine. It's whatever. Fine. I did forget that. The abuse I get on this

podcast. Where are you at tonight, Ryan?

I'm in Reno, Nevada.

The biggest little city in America.

Staying at the Golden Nugget Hotel.

No, no, no.

It is not the Golden Nugget.

It is the Nugget period.

The Nugget period.

You can get me kicked out of this hotel because I said it wrong when I checked in and they were real quick to inform me. This was not the golden nugget. This was the nugget. And it is older than the hills. I don't remember who the godfather was, but like in 1920, yeah, they haven't renovated. But it's Daddy James's favorite hotel in the world. I don't think I would do

well there. Daddy James literally, like the first year, Shereen and Daddy James dated, we had to come here

for New Year's Eve, and he knew everybody by name. And so, yeah, it's Daddy James's favorite

hotel ever, because all the Reno-Hartford shows used to be held here, like at the actual hotel.

I can understand that.

So there's some sentimental value.

Oh, the most.
