  • Episode 24-06: Cody Teel on Retirement, December & NFR Fever, and Life After Bull Riding
    2025/12/12
    In this episode, Luke welcomes 2012 PRCA World Champion Bull Rider Cody Teel, Callie Adams, Director of Events at Montana Silversmiths, and Barry Berg of Cactus Ropes for a look at the craftsmanship, people, and perspectives that shape the Western world. Cody reflects on the bittersweet side of stepping away from competition — the pride in what he accomplished and the challenge of watching the sport’s biggest event from the sidelines. He talks about that familiar “December fever” the NFR brings every year, why it pulls every cowboy right back into the excitement, and why that fire often fades by spring. Callie shares insight into the artistry and legacy behind Montana Silversmiths’ nightly round buckles and world champion buckles, while Barry breaks down what goes into building the ropes trusted by top hands across the sport at Cactus Ropes. Together, they highlight the craftsmanship and culture driving the athletes and makers who keep rodeo moving forward. ━━━━━━━━━━ ★ 📧 Get in touch: lbs@banditproductionco.com 🌐 Website: www.thelukebranquinhoshow.com Follow us on: ➤ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lukebranquinhoshow/ ➤ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thelukebranquinhoshow ━━━━━━━━━━ ★ Thanks for listening!

  • Episode 24-05: Rodeo Rock & Real Talk: Jarrod Morris on Music, Farrier Life & NFR Moments
    2025/12/04
    Texas musician Jarrod Morris joins Luke for an episode full of storytelling, songwriting, and the real life behind his one-of-a-kind “Rodeo Rock” sound. Jarrod breaks down his journey from farrier to full-time musician, why barrel racers call him a “pixie dancer,” and how shoeing horses actually fuels his creativity. He talks about getting “holed up” in his college dorm after wrecking his car — the moment that pushed him deeper into music — and how manual labor gives his mind space to write the real, raw, hyper-specific lyrics he’s known for. They talk through his new album Day Money, the punk-leaning cover of “Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old),” and the high-energy track “Kick Rocks” he’s performing live in Las Vegas. Jarrod also shares how he landed spots at the NFR on Dec. 5 and Westgate on Dec. 12, thanks to Bo Gardner and a little help from Chancey Williams. ⭐ This Week’s Sponsor: Mountain High Furniture Huge thanks to Mountain High Furniture, a longtime craftspeople's operation led by John & Wendy Powers.

  • Episode 24-04: Hailey Kinsel Returns: NFR Prep, Barrel Runs & Luke’s Arena Shenanigans
    2025/11/27
    Four-time world champion Hailey Kinsel is back — and Luke does what Luke does best: drags her out to the Branquinho Arena for a little “friendly” NFR prep, a little coaching, and even more goofing off! Between the in-studio sit-down and arena time, they fine-tune her first barrel, laugh about the “Facebook warriors” who claim she blows past it, and talk through the real work that goes into sharpening up before Vegas. Hailey arrives at the 2025 NFR aiming for her fifth world title, coming off a season where Hailey's legendary horse, Sister, returned from last year’s NFR hamstring injury and placed at 20 out of 21 rodeos. She breaks down how she brought Sister back slowly, starting the winter on Spider and Reese, and how horses like Libby are being seasoned in high-pressure pens for the future. They also talk about Hailey’s fast-growing Youth Barrel Race, which expanded from a massive one-day event to a two-day blowout this year, with hundreds of runs, big-name sponsors, and tons of prizes. Hailey shares why being available to help riders — the way Luke once helped her — is something she’ll never take lightly. It’s real friendship, real coaching, and real prep for rodeo’s biggest stage... with plenty of laughs in between! ━━━━━━━━━━ ★ 📧 Get in touch: lbs@banditproductionco.com 🌐 Website: www.thelukebranquinhoshow.com Follow us on: ➤ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lukebranquinhoshow/ ➤ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thelukebranquinhoshow ━━━━━━━━━━ ★ Thanks for watching!

    Luke Branquinho sits down with 23-time World Champion Jackie Crawford, one of our FAVORITE returning guests, who’s having another standout year and dominating the arena with her trademark grit and precision! In 2025, Jackie became the first roper in WPRA history to surpass $1 million in career earnings, added another WPRA Team Roping Header World Championship, and continues to post strong results across multiple events — proving yet again why she’s one of the most accomplished competitors in rodeo. Luke and Jackie dig into the mental game, staying sharp through a long season, and what fuels her competitive drive. They even joke about the idea of a “soft retirement”… and how her current run makes that pretty hard to believe.
