Summary
Rocker Steiner and Kade Bruno join the podcast to talk all things rodeo, adrenaline, and country music. From the reality of climbing into the chute knowing things could go wrong, to the brotherhood behind the scenes, they break down what life as a professional bareback and saddle bronc rider is really like.
They also dive into how Yellowstone and Taylor Sheridan helped push rodeo and country culture into the spotlight, why Nashville is becoming a hub for rodeo events, and how the lifestyle compares to touring as a country artist. Plus, stories involving Koe Wetzel, Trace Adkins, Kid Rock, and even a jab from Post Malone.
