The Bull is one of the most prolific figures in the history of the American Mafia… underboss to John Gotti in the Gambino family, and a man who walked away from the entire business when his boss turned on him. This episode is part 1 where he discusses his life now after leaving the Family. This is truly a banner episode for the podcast

You aren’t supposed to pick favorites so here’s what I’ll say…if, like me, you were a calf roping fan between the years of 1999-present I suspect this could be the episode for you. One of the current godfathers of calf roping from he won, to the horses he had, to the people he’s helped bring up this episode is a calf roping fan's dream podcast. Huge shoutout to Justin for taking the time to sit down and do it 

One of the most entertaining talents the PBR has ever had (in my humble opinion) and for sure one of the most talented music guys in all of Western sports. I had a blast recording this, and I’m sure you’ll agree. He’s awesome  

Guys like Marty are why this podcast exists, one of the nicest and certainly one of the most talented people you might not have ever heard of. Selfishly this is one that I personally was looking forward to for a long time, glad we finally got it recorded 

I won’t lie…I walked into Performance Diesel without knowing what I was about to experience. Hands down the most masculine/clean/kind businesses I’ve ever seen, and some of the greatest people I’ve ever met. The culture they have created there is truly inspiring. This podcast with the owner Jarad, the mastermind behind it, is truly worth the listen. 

Hands down the most electric header in the PRCA right now, the Southeast has a history of producing some gunslingers but maybe none more so than Dustin. He’s in the middle of a great year coming off a respectable Fourth of July. Happy for you to hear it 

14x NFR qualifier in calf roping Shane is and has been one of the very top guys in the PRCA for well over a decade. We caught him while he was in Calgary for a few days (6.7 in the first round) and talked about everything from horses to friendships to his foray into the culinary world. Great podcast, can’t wait to share it. 

A journeyman heeler and former BFI champion Wyatt Cox is having a breakthrough year with a legendary partner in Chad Masters. We caught up with him at Prineville to talk about what this year has meant and ended up talking a lot about the mental elements that keep you on top through a full summer of rodeoing 

After years of frustration with the public schools, and watching the ways that politics have slowly found their way into classrooms people like Stephanie Lindsey are a breath of fresh air. She shared some of the same concerns, so after years in the education field launched the JML school that targets students as individuals rather than numbers and data points right here in Wickenburg Arizona. (But available anywhere online)

Just a LOT of star power in one episode, and some amazing insight and behind-the-scenes information. We’ve had fun recording these, but this episode went to a new level for all of us here at the Flatbed Podcast
