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.

If anyone tells you that your hair is too big, get rid of them. You do not need that negativity in your life.

And Dale Hummel.

Not my circus, not my monkeys.

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 know you're having the most exciting experience this week.

It has been quite the wild ride so far, and we will get into all that and talk about all things, Miss Texas,

along with other things here.

But Dale, I just want to tell the listeners that this schedule at this Miss Texas page

is absolutely insane.

And right now it is 7 o'clock in the morning, And Dale is in California, so it's 5 a.m.

in the morning there. And this is about the only time that I could record. And Dale is up. He's got a

judge a show. So I just want every one of y'all to know the dedication that we have to get y'all a

weekly podcast because I really thought we were going to have to throw it in the towel this week and just

be like, it ain't happening. No, but we made it work. I'm coming to you from the Bonanza Inn in Yuba City,

California. I don't even know where that is. It's. I'm going to call it north of Sacramento about an hour.

I'm going to bet that the door opens to the outside of that hotel.

I'm just betting money.

I'm not going to answer that.
