Grab your boots and a cold drink—today’s episode is a triple-crown deep dive into the heart of American culture. We’re kicking things off with the latest from the Hondo Rodeo Fest as it takes over the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. From the adrenaline of the arena to the first crowned champions of The Hondo Rodeo.

Then, we shift gears to the dirt track at Churchill Downs. With the Kentucky Oaks and Derby just around the corner, the 2026 field is finally coming into focus. With the post draw coming up on April 25th we have a couple horse updates for the derby.

Finally, we sit down for a "back-porch" conversation about Country Music. We explore how this genre built us—shaping our stories of heartbreak, resilience, and home. We’ll also chat about our favorite artists, song, and more.

We are very happy to get this episode out. We had some technical difficulties after recording and were not sure if we had any audio. So as a heads up there is some low quality with the sound for this episode. None the less! Join us as we start to dive into the horses and our picks for the KY Oaks and Derby! Thanks for riding with us!
