In this thrilling episode, we're back with the Australian bull riding sensation, Josh Birks, as he shares jaw-dropping stories from the heart of the rodeo world.

Josh takes us to the Mataranka Rodeo for the Bucking Thunder Down Under event, an unforgettable experience that even drew the legendary Jason Ahern. He recalls witnessing some of the best bull riding ever, including a remarkable 88.5-point performance at Beaudesert, where fifth place was achieved.

However, the conversation takes a somber turn as Josh recounts a tragic incident at Mataranka. Dwayne Fishlock, a bull owner, embarked on a helicopter mission to retrieve his bulls for the rodeo. Tragically, the helicopter hit a powerline near the Mataranka gates, resulting in Dwayne's untimely passing. The aftermath was marked by police and investigators covering the scene with tarps.

The next day, Josh woke up to an unexpected scene—a friend with a 20-litre drum full of rum and a trench gun. Shots of rum flowed, and the locals arrived for the rodeo, unaware that it had been canceled due to the accident. Spontaneously, one of the bull owners released scrub bulls, allowing the locals to have their own makeshift rodeo. It escalated to a boxing match, with Alley Cat, a local, knocking out one of the lads, Carter. They even attempted to retrieve a hundred-dollar note from a massive Brahman bull's nose, leading to chaos as the bull tossed Josh and another local over the fence.

The antics continued into the night, with a fellow rider's hair being set on fire, prompting him to shout, "Who's lighting fires around here?" The group donned boxing gloves and playfully sparred.

From this unforgettable day, professional bulls like Prison Break, Wild Willy, and two others emerged, adding to the lore of Australian rodeo.

Josh reflects on his Australian bull riding idol, Troy Dunn, for his massive contributions to the sport, as well as his American idol, JB Mauney, a true cowboy and legendary figure. But his ultimate idol is Luke Schneider, embodying the perfect blend of professionalism and a party lifestyle.

Join us for a rollercoaster of rodeo tales, from tragic accidents to epic fights and the legends who have left an indelible mark on the world of bull riding.

In this exhilarating episode, we're back with the fearless bull rider, Josh Birks, as he takes us on a wild journey through his rodeo career, filled with high-flying adventures and unexpected mishaps.

Josh shares the tale of his sponsorship with VJV, the owners of the sale yards in Canada. He hatched a plan to attend both the Ponoka Pro Rodeo, the second-largest rodeo in Canada, and a PBR event in Saskatchewan on the same day. With a bull ride at Ponoka followed by a chartered plane ride, things got interesting. On the flight, Josh and his mates decided to enjoy some whiskey, and even against explicit instructions, offered some to the pilot. The pilot's unexpected maneuvers during the flight raised tensions, and when they landed, the owner of VJV was waiting to give Josh an earful.

After returning to Ponoka, the night took another unexpected turn as Josh found himself in a fight, coming to the aid of a mate. The police arrived and questioned them, but the boys used their black eyes as evidence of their involvement in bull riding rather than the brawl. All of this drama unfolded while Josh was wearing his sponsorship shirt, and VJV threatened to cancel his sponsorship if he didn't ride a 90 on his next bull. Fortunately, Josh delivered and rode over 90, securing his sponsorship.

Josh also shares a hilarious and daring plan involving his idol, Scott Schiffner. While hanging out with friends and BB guns, Josh decided that the moment Scott walked through the door, he would shoot him with a BB gun to ensure he'd never forget him.

Throughout the episode, Josh provides insights into bull riding, sharing that he often felt more confident on his second ride than the first and that he preferred bulls that bucked out of his hand. He emphasizes the importance of staying forward and allowing the bull to do the work. Josh also reveals that he often assessed bulls based on their body shape.

The conversation takes a somber turn as Josh reflects on the injuries he's endured in his career, including a broken back, nine broken ribs, and lacerations from a bull standing on him. Despite the pain, Josh lived by the motto, "Play the game, take the pain." However, his rodeo career ultimately came to an end when he found love and became a father.

Join us for a heart-pounding and laughter-filled episode as Josh Birks shares his unforgettable rodeo experiences, from wild adventures to challenging moments in the arena.

In this electrifying episode, we're back with the one and only Josh Birks, professional bull rider extraordinaire, as he takes us on a wild ride through the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) and some unforgettable rodeo stories.

First up, we celebrate Ky Hamilton's remarkable victory as the PRCA World Champion for 2023, marking a historic moment in rodeo history. But Josh reminisces about another epic NFR win in 2010 when his mate Tom McCallum clinched the title during the event's stint in Tamworth. Josh, who was under contract with the PBR at the time, found himself in a rather precarious situation. While waiting behind the chutes, a confrontation with a judge named Greg Gibson led to an unexpected brawl. Josh vividly recalls the adrenaline and fear of fighting a grown man when he was just 18 years old, and the chaotic events that ensued, including a late-night visit from his father, all because of the altercation with the judge.

As the rodeo tales continue, Josh shares a hilarious and somewhat messy anecdote involving his mate DD. After a night out, Josh discovered DD in the hallway, covered head to toe in human feces, courtesy of a romantic encounter gone horribly wrong. It's a night DD will never live down.

In another astonishing twist, Josh recounts an incident where a SWAT team descended upon a bull ride event. A bull rider's cop father had tipped him off about security guards abusing bull riders backstage, and the bull riders were planning to confront them. Just as they were gearing up for a showdown, the SWAT team arrived, leaving Josh in disbelief, as he had only seen SWAT teams in movies.

The episode takes a dramatic turn as Josh reveals that he was once struck by lightning in Darby, Montana, during a bull riding event. The lightning strike affected around 15 people due to the wet conditions. Josh describes the intense sensation as the lightning entered his knees and exited through his boot, causing his muscles to convulse and tense for hours. One bull rider even dropped to the ground due to the electric shock. Tragically, a girl attempting to flee the scene was struck and killed by a second lightning strike, highlighting the devastating power of nature.

To shed light on the gravity of such incidents, Josh and the team delve into some eye-opening statistics, revealing that around 24,000 people are killed by lightning strikes each year, with an astonishing 240,000 injured. It's a chilling reminder of the unpredictable and often perilous world of rodeo.

Join us for an adrenaline-pumping episode filled with jaw-dropping stories and unexpected twists in "Rodeo Mayhem: Lightning Strikes and Brawls with Josh Birks.
