Seventy episodes. When I sat down to record the first one back in March of 2025, I honestly didn't know if there would be a second. This week I went back through all 69 episodes and pulled some of my favorite moments: the stories that made me laugh, the lessons that stuck, and a couple that still hit me right in the heart.

In this episode:

- Doug Simcox of Beyond the Chutes on why you better be a little bit handy

- Luke Branquinho's hardest haul, from Lovington, New Mexico to Belgrade, Montana

- PRCA announcer Garrett Yerigan on beating Jack Frost in a freeze

- Tilden Hooper, two blowouts, a bent axle, and what his dad said about his tools

- The day Bertie Bea's water pump quit mid-shower in Kearney, Nebraska

- One small step when everything feels heavy

- The $308 safety decision in the Wyoming wind

- The awning that met the exit gate

- A windshield moment passing the Cheyenne Frontier Days grounds
