In this thrilling episode, we're joined by Josh Birks, a professional bull rider who has carved out a remarkable career filled with wild stories from rodeos and adventures all over the world. Josh kicks off the show by sharing a hilarious tale from his wild nights out, recalling a time when he was so inebriated that he woke up to the shocking revelation that he had urinated all over his unsuspecting friend while sleeping. It's a humorous start to an episode filled with adrenaline-pumping moments. Our guest takes us on his journey to Canada in 2011, where he ventured to chase his dreams of becoming a professional bull rider. Josh's dedication paid off, and he reminisces about his success, including being the runner-up in the Canada Finals in 2014. But it's not all smooth riding in Josh's world. He recounts a wild winter incident when he rolled his F truck. After a few drinks at the pub, he attempted to drive home, only to find himself careening down a snow-covered ditch at 40 kilometers per hour. Josh and his friends had to break the window to escape and dig their way out through the snow. The adventure didn't end there, as he enlisted the help of Scott Schniffer's tractor to flip the truck back over, ultimately paying off the damage with his Canada Finals winnings. Josh also shares some of his craziest rodeo experiences, from riding bulls under the influence of mushrooms to missing a bull ride due to excessive drinking, which led to a rather unusual mishap at a gas station. One of the highlights of the episode is Josh's description of riding some of the rankest and wildest bulls, including 20 to Life and Slash, a renowned Canadian bull that he rode for an impressive 92.5 points. The podcast takes a dramatic turn as Josh recounts his experiences at PBR events in Mexico, where he witnessed shocking incidents, including a tragic shooting at a bull riding event. He also shares a story from Tijuana, where he mistakenly believed he had won a massive prize, only to discover a surprising twist regarding the winnings. Join us for a heart-pounding, laughter-inducing, and unforgettable episode featuring Josh Birks and his incredible tales from the world of bull riding and beyond.
