I would say guys that sometimes life hands you lemonade, lemons, you make lemonade, and sometimes life hands you dessert on a platter.

Richard, we already had this episode planned.

Blake is here, and you have a moment where it's like, hold on, this combo is going to work.

Thank you for jumping on.

And Blake, thank you for jumping on too.

Thank you for having me very much.

Yeah, man, thanks. So, background real quick, Blake is one of the founding members. He oversees the music.

You ran the sound for the rodeo this year. Yes, this year and last year. I was a music director for

the Honda, yes. Billy Bray said something to me a couple years ago. She said, Richard Jones

is maybe one of the funniest people I've ever met.

And I, I'd met you, and I go, who's that now? And she goes, Richard Jones. I go, Richard Jones.

Really? And she goes, yeah. So what I'm saying is, I had to learn that it was in there over a period

of time because there's this kind of shell facade

that because i'm all business i'm really got all business but thanks well i think that's a compliment

it is it is i try to have fun you just don't wear it on the outside blake

blake is equally fun but you don't have to dig as deep Blake makes it more available

Blake's fun is right out front uh captain fun ever also ahead of our HR department. Awesome. Yeah, that helps up. The reason we do that is that Blake never gets in trouble with HR. That's right. It's a round file cabinet that we keep for all HR issues. That's really great. Tell me, it seems like I hear your name associated with a few different jobs you run the entire deal upstairs

yeah help manage it the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation it's a hundred outdoor Christmas so

yeah that's my crew up there put it together or helps put them together and manage it I do

and then sound doing just doing music at a watch party at the South Point for the

Elk Foundation as well.

We have Garrison Allen, new kind of really good rodeo announcer hosting and giveaways every night.
