We took the BTC bus deep into Texas and filled the tanks with stories. From Sulphur Springs to Weatherford, Mineral Wells, Wylie, and Springtown, Doug and Sam catch you up on a whirlwind week: wellness updates and futurity talk with Daylon Swearingen at Daylon’s Ranch, living-room rodeo museums and four gold buckles’ worth of grit with Glen Bird, eight-time champ perspective with Ronnie Williams, a street-built bull riding in a church parking lot with Chute 2 Productions, and a late-night history download with Wes Ward—nephew of IRA founder J.R. “Jail” Cravens and his best friend Lane Frost. Plus: Kelly and Charlene Clark open the doors to “The Buckhorn,” a wall-to-wall trove of saddles, posters, and stories that tie the IRA, IPRA, and modern rodeo together. These stories matter.
Presented by ParaSight Systems—helping vets help pets with fast, accurate diagnostics. Also supported by Simcox & Company Barbershop (Cedar Falls, IA), The Wandering Gypsy RV Life podcast, and music by Nikki McLeod (“Prepaid,” “Some Kind of Reckless”). Book corner: This Ain’t My Last Rodeo by Lecile Harris (out now). Coming Fall 2025: World’s Toughest Rodeo: How One Cowboy Blazed a Trail for Western Sports (W Brand Publishing).
