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.

Life is hard, but it is harder when you're stupid.

And Dale Hummel.

Great words from President Brandon. I don't work for you.

Now on with the show.

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

Hello, hello, hello.

Almost live from Louisville. Can we say that, Ryan?

No, that was a terrible idea, and don't ever have it again.

To explain what's going on here, we're actually recording at the North American, but we're back in our hotel.

We had a live recording and autographs

signing and things at Cowpox today, I believe at 1 o'clock. And that went well until we had a

Google issue where the sign-in to the podcast host, something was out. The Russians, the Chinese,

somebody was scurring with us. So we weren't able to record, but I do want to say thank you to the many, many listeners that came out to get pictures and signatures and just felt great to have your support there.

And it is appreciated buying T-shirts, supporting the Beyond the Ring Junior Livestock Association, all those things combined.

And this was at Cowboys today.

And I want to give them a thank you for hosting that for us and getting everything set up.

I greatly, greatly appreciated.

They had everything working well.

Google did not today.

So it definitely wasn't their fault.

And a special shout out or thank you to Molly Judd.
