The Thomas and Mac uh was leading Barrel Racers down the alleyway so it’s it’s exciting it’s a it’s even that’s exciting yeah your feet were on the dirt at least they offer me I was uh I was 17 the 16th guy so I guess that’s the first
Loser every year he gets to the award of they offer him uh I think you get a room you know they give you a room for the week and they give you 200 bucks a day to come rope the extras uh you know each night after the perf they they they’ll
Be one or two extras in each event and so the 16th guy in the timed events they get to go and if they want to and you know rope the Cavs Bulldog the steers it’s just two a night you got to sit there and have a horse and as soon as it’s the
Rodeo’s over they run them through just to keep the runs even and uh I don’t know who was 16th that year I was 17th and they uh they didn’t want to do it it and they called me to to do it and uh I
I said okay you I was going to be there I was uh dating the J award she was a world champion bar racer and she was going to go anyways and I had to go anyways so I was like well this is going to suck but at least I’ll you know be
Involved in this and I’ll never forget I the first night I go and I do a good job show up on time you know on horse you had your horse go go want to take my 200 that they gave me there for doing that and I think that uh turned into a
Blackjack table bender at some point but I uh I didn’t make it the second night to run the exture so a calf roper had ran them and he went ahead and just took took it from there you know that’s solid they I made 200 they kept the rest of
The money so you got to tell me when you were walking this barrel racer down the alleyway did you wear her jacket no no I lost all respect for Jess Lockwood yeah I think that’s you can’t do that dude you can’t do that I love Jess Lockwood
Don’t get me wrong but bro come on wearing your jacket it was cold dude D I don’t care go get your own jacket G Garett nausey used to make he would make so much fun of me you know about doing that and uh and now I just every night I
Just shoot attacks it’s not so funny anymore is so funny so fun been about 45 trips down that now he’s having a bunch of trips is he I never knew that though about the 16 person to go there that’s pretty cool yeah it’s cool now a lot of
Times I don’t know if that’s how they still do it but that’s that’s how they do it it’s it’s different now I don’t have to be the 16th guy but be any it was just like to me like a kick to the nuts like yeah like oh you can dumb dude
We you can’t run for you know you can’t run for 30,000 and IA we’ll give you 200 bucks you consolation yeah yeah so uh let’s talk about that huh 17th twice yeah tough man that’s got to be a kick in the nuts that was a kick in the nuts
It’s uh you know it’s uh I don’t like to say it’s a story of my life it’s a day late and a dollar short but it uh you know I just I wasn’t a good businessman I mean that’s uh I I wouldn’t trade I had a great life I’ve met a lot of
Wonderful people uh got great friends and made it out alive you know getting out of rodeo alive and not social media a psychopath is half the battle and so uh you know that’s uh I had a good run I had a lot of fun I probably had a lot
More fun than guys that won more than me um but and that contributed to uh my night life definitely probably affected the daytime at the time you don’t think it does you know but you look over there and Clay try it’s 8:00 a.m. slack and you know 7:15 and he’s already he’s
Saddled and you know Trevor just looks good and they feel good and they’re roping they got the Mojo out there and just getting smoke off of it and I just stumble over there you know just just hair’s still a little wet CL slacks man are tough on a guy I haven’t even caught
My horse yet Mike is a perf guy dude he wants the afternoon perfs bro you know I’m an afternoon definitely a per guy guy that’s how we’re going to say he’s a perk guy I like it I like it I love that afternoon per foot let’s let’s talk
About some of them big ones you hit huh BFI and 03 yeah the me and Travis Ward won the BFI placed at it a couple of times I when I was a kid um they did a thing for it a couple uh weeks back they’re going to put on the cowboy
Channel just about the BFI Champs and stuff and I told a story on there about I was from Florida I was raised in okobe Florida I was a little punk kid my dad was a Champion solk Rider and straight up Cowboy you know full dress coat every
Day uh I’m more of this is you know I’m a team roper you know it’s I don’t like to throw the word Cowboy around but uh he would go to CMI cimi and uh Brighton were the biggest rodeos we had and so all the guys would come down you know
All the the good Ropers and stuff and I I was too big of a puss to ever want to ride Bronx or anything like that was never an option for me me and uh I I about 10 12 13 years old you know I was
Roping a lot my dad still roped you he was a ruy but he was a cowboy so he roped he did every and uh I remember when I was just I was 13 I was just starting to like rope and I was just you
Know I was like man I’m I love this and I I went to cimi my dad was riding Bronx and I uh I’m up there watching the team rope and and I see this guy and he doesn’t even have a horse he’s walks up there and he’s just man his shirt’s just
Starched and his mean creasing those Wranglers wws look good and he had this belt buckle on and I mean it is I mean it’s it’s blinding me you know I mean and it’s just the old school BFI buckle and and uh he didn’t even have a cowy
Hat on you know he had just had a tight comb over and uh it was Ru woy and I I asked I I knew Tyler Magnus Tyler had uh was ring with Kermit moss and Tyler Magnus uh knew a friend of my dad’s and we’ had some we always had an arena and
Had rope in schools and we had Walt Woodard and we had Jake and clay and we had you know we’d have somebody every year come down and Tyler and Kermit was down the rode and so they did it one year and uh crazy thing about it I’d probably learned more from Tyler Magnus
Than I did all the other guys you know felt like he was just really easy to talk to and uh but I asked Tyler and I said who is that and he said that’s rud woy son and he said that guy sticks yes he does man he just got you
Know he just backed in there I and I when I saw him just his Aura and I I thought that’s my man you know that’s that’s the guy I can’t he can’t reach I can’t reach either you know this is this the guy I want to be you know and so uh
Just catch them all and that’s that’s what I I thought you know uh when I went and stayed I goty in Fletcher nail was a circuit champ and we we’ won the circuit and we uh went to poel Idaho and uh we went up there I won the Dodge National
Circuit finals won the average and uh Walt Woodard called me that night and he said hey Mikey Fletcher my uh swal Ward holy [ __ ] you know holy [ __ ] this is him I praying call Caesar’s talked to Walt yeah that’s gonna be Cesar’s talked to
Wot you know how he is like how he talks he wal Ward you I mean he’s just I mean he’s a Straight up G he is professional but W he’s funny once you get to know him he’s got a great sense of humor and
He’s a he’s a very I would say a very interesting man one of one of my favorites he’s got an incredible mind man that’s I think that’s why he won his world toles yeah he he’s mentally just he’s a I mean he gives like he could give motivation he goes to these
Colleges and like he’s their what do you call it when people gradu yeah at the end of the day like hey don’t screw your life up which is funny because yeah I live with the dude for three years do a very good job but you could stick
But you could stick yeah he called me said like f want you head for a son and I was like holy [ __ ] you know and and fetell told me that day he said you got to get out of here dude you got this is your shot you you sit down here in
Florida these bunch of alligators yeah jerking off down here get get get up there and he said uh just just turn steers dude there’s no the only thing the same thing I like is the same thing every healer likes yeah they want to throw their roip MH and if if they don’t
Get to throw their rope they don’t have very much fun you ain’t going to be there very long you’re not going to be there very long but if you let a Healer throw his rope a lot and you give him a lot of chances and he can get teed off
And get tapped he enjoys it and uh and it’s and that that was the rest of the story you know about moved over there to California uh French Camp Road right there with Walt Woodard and and uh you know helped him with his schools and stayed there two or three years we me
And t-wood got got close we just had a little heal roads and he was I was a young guy and he was a young guy and you we were good at the jackpots and we could keep it together you know and but uh the rodeos we just you know just just
Barely miss you know like I mean 17th’s close 17th is one rodeo away from 68 one rodo that’s very respectful I mean that’s that’s hell of an accomplishment what what’s that got to do like mentally to you at 17th do you do you wanna you
Want to be the first one to enter Denver so you’re ready to go right back after it or are you saying do do you want to end it yeah yeah that’s what I’m saying like [ __ ] you like [ __ ] it we’re selling into the ditch over there just exactly what I’m asking yeah it’s
In the words of Caesar Del Cruz it’s it’s a bomber dude it’s a bomber man a uh you know it’s a when you’re there you when you’re 17th you think you got a shot till you know then it was the cal cal Palace still had
A rodeo it was still like the last rodeo and uh I think maybe Cal Palace Kansas City like they didn’t have I think whe they have now like uh what’s the in California m San berino pway and stuff but and they had a couple I think they
Had a couple of them were right in the same time but uh up until the Cow Palace you know the day monds were 2500 2,800 you think I got a I got a shot you know just I just needed that’s the thing about me and Travis we have got a good
Winner you might these guys the you the general public thinks well how does this guy make it and this it you know you several times with Tommy I remember Tommy zun guy was one of my favorite people I ever red with you know in the winter we had
$34,000 one when we left Fort Worth you know and that’s that’s a lot that’s you but never won another dollar for month you know and that’s it just you get on this you know you’re out there and you I wrot a lot of young guys and that you
Know I wrote with Cody doer his Rook year you know Kyle Crick his Rook year and I was always a little older but uh you know when you’re young and and as a Healer and I you you don’t get to you know they get to rope every day when
You’re grow up they rope every day they go they go to rope in they go to amate Rodeo we’ll fix this Monday we’ll fix you know my horse isn’t working or I’m leaving a little h on the right my position I’ll fix it Monday when you’re
Rode and there is no fix Monday is Rodeo right Tuesday’s another rodeo and Thursday I don’t the day I didn’t have to go to the rodeo I drove 14 hours to the rodo my partner’s he’s being a dick you know because I haven’t caught one in
Three you know in a week and now you know and it just weighs on a guy and we and you know it it’s it’s hard when you’re young like that and it’s just you know even I’m a positive dude I’m not a y I’m not going to give you the I’m not
Going to give you the JY like hey I mean it is what it is and we’re in this together but there’s no place to like pull over and let’s run some and break it and fix this because it just and it just kind of snowballs and then here we
Go and then next thing you know by the time he’s healing good now my head horse is crippled and here we are we’re still 4500 away and that’s that’s the story but you just uh you go home I always you know my dad always told me when you’re not winning
At the pro rodeos get your ass home and go to the amateur rodos and get your mind right get your mind right I think a lot of uh guys miss out on that if I mean if you can’t beat these guys in my backyard I don’t need to go any further
Than that I don’t need to drive 14 hours to see if I can be get my ass handing to me I can do that right here right across the street and I would always come home you know make the amateur finals and you know it’s funny how Rodeo you you leave
There and you’re whipped like a whipped a whipped dog and you you get home and you you pull the old amateur Rodeo book out you’re like well still still two months left you know make the you know you our make the Texas finals enter you know three a weekend four a weekend and
Next it kind of snowballs you’re catching you’re making some good runs make the amateur finals win amateur finals and now you’re just like you said wins the books for back we’re gonna tear them up dude and it’s uh it’s exciting every time you go there
And you know it’s I like the I I think the way the rodeos are now I I I would have liked that better they have these um what are they like a bracket style tournament style tournament style I I think it would have been better for me
I’m a catcher you know I um I remember when they had the tour they used to have 12 tour stops and uh I was super broke and I bought a head horse from Tammy West and uh I I I think I had like $144,000 she wanted1 15,000 for
This horse and I had $14,000 to my name and uh I said Tammy I said I need I need this horse and then this is so that’s like a $40,000 head horse Now 50 of then but and I said this is like 06 I was
Like Tammy I I I got no wheels I got nothing to ride and she she runs clothes I mean this I mean this horse was my style and uh and she’s like like what do you got I said I got 14,000 I said but really honestly I need a th000 of that I
Need to give you 13 and she said I’ll take 13 she she said give me 13,000 and she said keep your grand and man that horse was great and you know we uh uh I’m kind of excited and I but I was still kind of broke you know and I was
Dring with Kyle Crick and uh he was my buddy and his horse kind of he he had a heel horse get crippled which I didn’t think was that big of a deal but I guess it’s a big deal dud it’s a big deal pretty big deal it’s your wheels it’s
Pretty big deal turns out it matters for healers too I thought you guys could just heal on anything but Bob how many times you heard that Caesar but Buck’s problem you can heal on anything I don’t know about that man that uh that’s when Bob B Bob Bay called
Me it was the first time I’d ever been like I don’t want to say like how a gig not pay R but had a you know a financial been a you know I I just needed to turn steers if that was it was my job
Benefactor it was my job to head and got a money man and we uh uh we made there was 12 T Roos we made 11 short rounds me and my B we made 11 short rounds and I think uh I don’t think we won better than fifth we placed between Fifth and
Eighth oh wow you know probably nine of the 11 times I mean never and I mean catching two I mean clean if if I don’t throw fast and you don’t throw fast we’re not going to be fast we’re not going to be fast and I told
When we left we left Calo and Bob was a fun partner uh CES test this he doesn’t drink he doesn’t you know he doesn’t do any drugs and but fun though right but he like he likes to chase women he likes Bob enjoys uh he he’s a coxman and
So he he likes to go to the bar he always wanted to go to the bar which is like this like my dream part this my dream partner got a we’re just going to keep making these short rounds and he could drive I got a silver Drive yeah he
Would he’s like oh God he would drive us to the bar every night I would just I mean he wake up he feels fine I’m just oh my God got go be 83 on another you’re look you’re looking out the window going oh [ __ ] we we left cwell and I’m just
Hung over cuz cwell night Rodeo is I fun you know they have a they have the arena and then they have this Barn this huge EST Barn to the right it’s just a freaking Rave in there a party they’re getting down they love Cowboys we’re just having fun we we leave there and
We’re uh we win another you know eighth place CH $847 solid eth place I tell Bob I said Bob son I said I love you bro but one of us one of us is going to have to get it out of their Mt dude one of us is going
To have to J you got to I got to come over the gates you got a jacket down there I mean because this is this this this ain’t working we’re living right here but I think with the tournament style I think they gu goty you know the
Guys that win and kick ass they don’t love the tournament style because it’s basically we they’re they’re going to be the fastest time anyways they Brock in uh you know and so that would have been a 10 $10,000 check for the day money now
It’s just two and they got to do it keep going but guys that can just you know three clean runs usually kind of now I just got to catch one steer yeah you know now it’s just a clean slate one header and you know who knows because
The ones that are going fast you know and they have a higher chance of it’s a higher percentage of missing squeez might lose his rope maybe Jers gets the barrier maybe maybe flet just got a shot you won the US finals in 02 you said with uh with York Gil okay yeah
Yeah yeah was uh from Tennessee you know he was still lived in Tennessee then he lives in Stevenville now I think York made the finals uh maybe once or twice he roped great York York do anything good you know he’s a I think he runs now does
Some kind of cross train he’s Beast now like animal now just an athlete Tex he just won’t even put his shirt on he just walks around with no shirt on just just showing his abs I’m like course yeah how about that big roping they have in Texas
The George Straight uh yeah I did um I won uh I won third a couple of times I tell you the best um the most I ever won was the year they had I think they had like 800 teams at this thing and it was
500 man go three times and uh it was a year that everyone I think Garrett maybe won it it was the year that everyone missed in the Short Round me and Jim Cooper had a leg and we won we won third and uh and then I had another guy I made
This made the top 50 twice there uh uh and Kip harell and we uh we had plac down there a little bit one you know I think I was still 140 45,000 it was such a good rope great rope so sad that it I
Mean I know that George is I when I quit rodeo and I moved to Tapo Springs which is uh the golf course that Tom kusac and George Straight on and I uh you know I he loves to golf you know he doesn’t rope anymore George just golfs and
Around Bubba doesn’t rope really and uh you know and I just think he didn’t like the heart you know just didn’t want to deal with it and then when his brother died his brother kind of ran the whole rope in and George just showed up and
Was George and it’s uh it’s sad because that was such an exciting time and it was a it was such a when I was a kid like watching that rope and get I can remember like tapes of like Todd Arthur and cus Jennings Jackie Stevenson Quattro hin
Little gr Horse He that dude freaking hammered back then too and it was uh it was so fun to watch you know and uh you know it’s it’s sad that that that Rin didn’t I mean they should have just made him keep having it oh yeah just keep the
Name yeah just keep the name have him show up a little bit or something like that that’d be kind of cool but when you’re the king nobody can make you do anything the King’s The King hey we’re going to take a little break fill these cups up and we come right back hey

You I mean we’ll definitely have to have you back on for sure for around two because this uh I mean there’s we didn’t even hit the iceberg right know on your stories and Dennis uh it’s hard to it’s hard to compete with Dennis Gates and I
I love Caesar yeah like I was uh awesome but I you know I he’s a three-fingered assassin I I thought I thought he was cool when I met him uh from day one I just loved his his you know style he was chill we got the same you know Vibe and we
Would go stay I’d loved going to the California rodeos and going to stay at w wheatley’s house and me and Caesar just kicking it and go hit some golf balls you know just you just run some or not you know whatever we wanted to do just
Having a good time and it’s uh it’s been a great friendship I I’ll finish this off with a you know the reason I quit rodeo and you know uh had to grow up and get a real job I i’ went to Clay trons and we uh we were
Gonna Walt and Walt and Kay TR were practicing for the NFR it was like two weeks before the NFR and Clay Tres gets uh he’s got 24 head of number one Mexicans and they’re not tipped they’re almost too big they’re dead they’re not dead fresh they’ probably been up two
Times three times I mean they’re fresh but they are Stout I mean they’re too big to be like I mean their their horns are big not tipped I mean they’re like you would say these are these are open strong like they’re too they’re Advanced cat Clay’s
Arena is super deep it goes uphill the wind blows in your face and uh everything pushes to the right and and uh me and Travis are going to try it one more time this is like our last ride in the sun you know and we go there we get
To go rope and I pull up and Caesar’s not saddled he’s just over there he’s got his little anybody knows Caesar Cruz he’s got this little manmade like before they had a Clifford Franklin yeah before they had like a little healing goat thing and before they even had that they have it every
Kid’s got one now he had one forever and he’s just over there just laying the gate down laying gate down I was like why aren’t your horses St he’s like I don’t R up here dude that’s Cesar de the Cruz I don’t R up here I don’t R up here I’m going to
Go down the road and uh you know I I found out why after that but you clay tr’s intense you know and we talked about that before how intense he is I love clay TR I I do I’ve always admired him I think he’s I think he’s one of the
Greatest competitors probably one of the greatest headers I’ve ever seen you know besides speed um he’s got great kids his wife’s awesome and uh but you know when you meet clay and you know Clay good you know when you meet a guy you think that guy’s intense sometimes when you meet a guy
You think I’m thinking about calling the comps because that guy’s a psychopath you know what I mean and that’s that’s more clay he’s more on the other side of that and and we’re roping he’s got a chick riding his horse around we got four horses over there a piece and and and
He’s just I mean he’s just I mean it’s not NFR practice where like you know like he’s still roping like this full contact I mean he is tail of the P he’s tail of the pin the winds blowing he’s just he’s got some heat on it and it is
Just [ __ ] [ __ ] I mean it sounds like Shane Sprout cira 06 Rojo I mean he is getting some smoke and I mean Wally’s just coming in there not ding you know just sting them down you know me and Travis we’re going sha for sha you know we’re
We’re sha for sha with I me we are making the best runs of our lives and we run them through probably it’s about the third pen this a steer like you know we run 60s like the 28th nth steer we ran and I I missed the right horn I missed
The right horn and he still wow and I just I and t-wood gets a l he gets a l and a and I just I told Travis that day I said dude that I don’t want to this dude he broke my soul clay trying Michael Jordan dude
Yeah he BR he broke my soul over there and I mean people these young kids like they don’t want none of his smoke I mean I’m telling you they didn’t it was nasty and uh and and he uh you know he’s now he’s home doing his deal but that’s uh
You know I I left there and I like I said I grew up and got a real job and uh you know people when they leave Rodeo they don’t know how to leave I mean I got a lot of friends that are just like stuck in this
Um you know I don’t know what to do roped my whole life so it’s either be like mon Joe and just keep it open your whole life or you know you got to do something you got to be a Caesar is going to be a dad and you got to go to
You know some people are lucky enough to go to the horse shows and and do that World some people are lucky enough to uh have schools you know do that but that’s schools aren’t for everyone a lot of these team great team Ropers you can’t
Have a yeah they can’t tell you how to make your coffee much less that do what they do and so uh you know and a lot of them get stuck in this you know they’re just it’s a bad spot and I uh that’s when I started playing golf and uh I
Felt in love with it and it kind of gave me a release of the degenerate Gambler and let’s talk about your app we started an app um a golf gambling app golf gaming app gaming a good great friend of mine Brody self who used to uh rope a
Lot uh from Burleson Texas I you know what you want to get him on here and he can ask come on come up here take my spot but we uh bro coming to the stage bro coming to the stage I a got no stories like that to the main
Stage Brody still to the main stage but uh you know me and Brody hadn’t seen each other in years and I I saw him on the golf course and uh and uh he was just starting out and we I hadn’t been playing that long either and you know I
I love golf because everybody that I respected or had money or had a job had a had had things going for him were playing golf and they were doing these deals on the golf course I thought well that’s what I want to do you know me and
Brody uh started playing a lot of golf together and I don’t care who you are when you’re playing golf you want to play for something you know if it’s push-ups or if it’s a $100 hole or if it’s a quarter a hole and everybody that plays golf wants to play for something
And we were gambling a lot and we we noticed that after it’s over it’s uh you know a lot of one guy’s got a little scorecard looks like Chinese arithmetic and he’s got a oh you won 10 bucks this takes an hour after we get done playing
Golf to let me know I lost $8 uh and we had an idea and and Brody’s pretty tech savvy and he had made an app and and we said hey let’s uh let’s let’s just get it let’s just make an app to just put your score in and tell us who
Won pick the game pick any game and and tell us who won you know when your Rodeo you got a secretary let’s let’s have the secretary right here and uh you know we had uh golf pro you know a dog fight is a you know battle for Supremacy you
Between two people and you know when you’re gambling with your buddies that’s a dog fight and so we started daily dog fights and uh we’re just uh launching it now we’re going to have you about two months just you it’s finished just got finished approved in the App Store and
Uh you know Brody’s done an amazing job he’s a perfect partner because he you know he can talk to these people like I don’t I they’re talking foreign oh yeah yeah they do talk in for let’s talk about it really man you know we just like Mikey said we we were gambling and
We had have four or five different games going on between that one game and at the time it was over I mean people would everybody would leave like uh they’d be like texting the group chat who owes who what and then we’d still be there or I’d
Go home and figure it all out and they’d say send a picture of the scorecard and now you can whenever it’s over we just plug it in and it logs it and or saves it and uh basically it sends out a text and says hey you owe this guy 60 bucks
And uh 160 and just keep it we keep it simple and uh pick your game pick how much you want to play for and enter your score and then you ain’t got to worry about nothing because you go in the clubhouse and I mean it takes like you
Said an hour to figure it out and that’s on every golf course in America every single old men group they’re all sitting around trying to figure out what and it’s uh you know we got uh correlated with the USGA handicap so you’ve already got to put your handicap in something so
This kind of helps with the sandbag in you know it keeps the scores legit and it logs your score right into the handicap to the to the golf app and uh and that’s it’s we’ve got so much good feedback you know we don’t ever know
Till we know but I mean there’s not one golf pro or anyone that doesn’t thought it was a great idea so is it it’s so four guys go to the golf course you four guys enter that app right and then at the end of the day basically it tells
Your score well one guy puts the score in at the end of the day before you even get done on 18 it text you hey you won 12 bucks you lost 10 to Caesar Caesar won 15 and it sends them all a text got the vinmo got everything and it just it
Has a course name and things yeah so we have uh it’s called API integration with the USGA and it brings up all the course rating and your handicap and so whenever it’s through it’ll automatically log your score to the usgaa handicap system so because there’s a big problem with
That as well people don’t like if they go out and shoot 75 that day they might I’ll put it in their their handicap and uh but you put 95 in there all day long so you can you go win a roping somewhere you don’t want anybody to find out yeah
It’d be nice for the global to do that right you don’t want nobody to find out about that you keep that on the down low yeah exactly just and like if there’s you know three or four groups if there’s a bunch of you going on a golf trip and
So you can do that too then a bunch of groups you can see what someone else is doing in the group in front of you you know instead of yelling hey what are you 200 yeah you know you can just on the app and see you know hey these guys are
Even and we’re still fine and it’s called daily dog fights daily dog fights we’re not to that stage yet but it’s I mean it’s in the plans like we’ve already built the infrastructure to it uh to it and uh it’s like called wireframes so we’ve already built all
The screens and the plugs and everything but we haven’t exactly released that yet we’re just trying to get everything right with USGA right now how they want it and it’s any any ETA like when the listeners could get it uh hopefully we’re hoping to be approved by USGA in
The next week or two and then we’re going to soft test it for a month or so with be big here dude there’s like literally 10 golf courses driving over here rers and golfing go hand in hand I feel like we we’ve got some good people
Behind us uh we partnered with a guy out of the Prosper Texas uh his name is Michael Pettis and uh his best friends Tory Hunter MLB baseball player nine time Gold Glove winner and nice so we’ll have some good and we got a couple other ones I don’t
Know if we can say their name yet but it’s it’s going to be we’ve got the Stadium built at Prosper Texas to play high school football his name rhes with Don Daly but we may may or may not have he may or may not live in a Hooters may
Or may not live may or may not live in a Hooters and he really likes I think I think he’s a good partner for us sounds like very fitting yeah we’ve been blessed do we have okay well cool well you guys will kind of keep us updated
Right we’ll No Doubt like I said dude we I mean everybody I know plays golf there’s so many golf courses around here everywhere so a lot of rodo guys you know we’ve done some content uh I was talking to Tim that wild horse uh uh video Tim Tim Lindsay he he wants to
Shoot us we we play uh Dustin Esa and Levi Lord play a lot of golf they’re they’re great great golfers and they rope and they’re fellow dog fighters like Caesar is a great golfer as well and uh we we’re uh we love to scramble you know twom man scramble it’s fun
Exciting it’s not too much pressure and it’s h pretty good content and so we’ve done some had some two-men scrambles with uh with Dustin and Levi and that’s exciting and we’re going to do make some content maybe uh if we can get uh my dream two men scramble is uh me and
Brody versus Shane’s sprow and uh the guy to my right right oh we could make that happen we could get that that happen I think that would break the internet TPC Scottdale over there how about Monday morning right after that tournament there filming yeah okay cool
We get so many sponsors to pay for that tea time oh heard that maybe maybe KB Farms possibly I’m thinking right here this Guy all right man well we definitely got to have you back for a part two in the new studio but keep us up to date on the app and and we’ll keep it up there keep it rolling man man I appreciate everything yeah yall are great dud I
Love you guys and I love this man like like a brother right so one of my favorites we’ll be back for sure appreciate
