Welcome, ladies and gentlemen to rodeo time, the podcast. We have a very special episode today because we lost a guy.

And he's not to be revealed yet. Just because I'm not ready to say it out loud, but we lost a guy. He quit.

We're going to talk about wine. We're going to talk about who. We do have Ty here to make fun of, though. So that will help.

We're also going to talk about the top podcast of 2025. Can you guess? You know what? Let's, let's,

let's, let's, let's, let's, let's reveal our guest. I think it's time. We've lost an intern.

We're two minutes in.

I know.

I don't know what else to talk about because he's in the room.

The elephant is in the room.

It would be really funny to just talk around him for about 45 minutes and then...

We can do that.

That's what they did to me on Rump chat.

I talk about it all the time.

Anytime I have Rump on, I had Handbone on. You sat at the table and they didn't... I was like their first podcast with a guest. And so they... Just forgot about you. No? We were in Handbone's camper in Sykeson, Missouri. There was no way for them to forget about me. But they talked. if you listened to that very first episode I went on, which it's the only one I went on, they talked for 50 minutes before they brought me away. Yeah, and I just sat there and watched. Wasn't Sykston where you went to the hospital for? Yeah, that was a couple years later. Oh, it wasn't the same. Might have been the same night. Yeah. Like maybe you're just sitting there all lightheaded and couldn't even... No, no, no, no. I think this was my first year at Sykeston when I went and got on their podcast. But they weren't... See, we're doing this as a joke. Yeah, they were serious. They were serious. He's like just talked about all the things and then, like, 50 minutes in. Maybe it was a prank. Was it like a jump scare when they finally saw you? And they were like, what are you doing here? No, that's what I'm saying. We were in his camper. They couldn't not see me. Like, I was in their grill. Did you say something about it in real time? No, not then. That was one of the first few podcasts I was a guest on. So I was like, dang, maybe I've been doing it wrong. I actually just like ask the guest something right away. Start with it, yeah. Yeah, that's what I lead with. Most people do. Right.

But, I mean, whatever, it's all good.

Yeah.

But I do bring it up.

You know what else I bring up?

The guy that quit.

It's hard not to.

He's a quitter.

That's what I'm going to bring up, our quitter.
