You are listening to the Horse Radio Network, part of the Equine Network family.

What a beautiful day for Horses in the morning.

You are listening to the number one horse podcast in the world.

Here is your entertaining look at the horse world and the people in it.

Well, good Monday morning, everybody.

We're back.

And I am Glenn the Geek from Ocala, Florida.

And I'm Jamie Jennings in Norman, Oklahoma.

You're listening to Horses in the Morning on the Horse Radio Network for Monday, August 18, Episode 3756 brought to you today by Worm Flooring.

Good morning, horse people.

I have good news and bad news for you on this Monday morning.

First, the bad.

It's Monday, but the good news is really good.

Jamie and Glenn are here to guide you through another week filled with horse talk and a whole lot of fun.

Welcome to Horses in the Morning.

Well, we're so glad you're joining us on this Monday morning and we're glad to be back together again.

Jamie was where it was cool and I was where it was hot.

And we're going to talk more about that coming up in the show today.

We actually don't have any guests today.

It's just us.

We're going to catch up on Jamie's vacation and what's going on with the horses at the farm.

I'm going to share some observations from the trade show and our listeners have some that girl moments we're going to go over.

Plus plus I did a poll in the auditor room that we want to chat about a little bit today.

And then in the auditor post show, we're going to talk about a watershed moment for podcasting that happened last week.

All coming up on today's show.

But before we start the show, all of us at Horses in the Morning are sending our thoughts and prayers to Lisa Wysocki who, you know, hosts this show on a regular basis when we're out.

And you've heard many, many stories about her amazing mom.

Remember how she goes to the track all the time and she's an institution at the racetrack up there and she was quite character was she passed over the weekend at the age of 102.

She, you know, this woman led an incredible life.

I was texting with Lisa over the weekend.

She had just gotten home to Tennessee and then found out her mother was sick and had to head back up north to.

To Minnesota.

Yes, Minnesota.

Had to head back to Minnesota.

And she said she was very busy yesterday, obviously with calls and neighbors coming over and things like that.

But she said, you know, her mom had led an incredible life.

Last weekend, they were at the TR again.

So, I mean, she lived for going to the track, and she got to go to the track with Lisa last weekend, and Lisa got to spend a lot of time with her over the last couple of months.

So I think Lisa was in a pretty good place.

She, you know, she kind of knew this one was coming.

But our thoughts and prayers are with her and her family and Lisa.

You know, we love you and we loved your mom.

I felt like I knew the woman, you know.

Right.

Because I'd never met her, but Lisa would talk about her all the time on the show with you and you and I both, and I just felt like I knew her.

So.

So we're thinking about her at this time, but I wish I could lead a life to close to 102.

Right.

I mean, all of us wish we could get to.

To anywhere close to that and still be as spunky as.

As Lisa's mom was.

Yeah.

So, no, that's.

The whole thing is like, if you can live to 102, but live the way you want to live until 102.

And she did.

And she did.

She did.

So anyway, that's.

That's a.

That was kind of sad over the weekend that I saw.

But Lisa's up there handling things, and I know there'll be a service soon.

All right, let's do some daily Winnies.

No auditor birthdays.

And I wanted to say if I missed your birthday last week, I tried to get them all on the last show we did, but if I missed it, happy birthday to you.

I'm sorry I missed it.

So we don't have any auditor birthdays today or tomorrow, but we do have a couple of auditors with new horses.

Auditor Elizabeth got her first horse at the age of 61.

She said she felt like.

She felt like a kid with a new pony.

Td.

Isn't that cool?

Let's do it.

Bella.

She got a horse named Bella, and it's a morab.

And also auditor Alicia got a new horse.

I don't know anything.

That's all she posted in it, and she posted a picture.

So congratulations to the both of you.

I think.

I'm sure it's super pretty.

It is.

And I just thought that getting a new.

Her first horse at 61 was kind of.

Was.

Was kind of special.

I love everything about that.

I know.

Me so happy.

I know there's.

It's never too late to start, right?

So.

Yeah.

Amen, brother.

I have a new friend, and it's interesting the way that I met my new friend.

Her name is Zoe.

And I was at the Kentucky Three Day back in.

And I'm now a Pulse PEMF certified practitioner, right?

So I have the Pulse machine, and I do it all.

And there were some accessories that I was looking at for purchase, and there's always a Pulse PMF booth at the Kentucky Three Day.

So I go into the Pulse booths, and I'm looking around and stuff, and the people are like, where are you from?

And I said, oh, I live in Oklahoma.

Oh, really?

Zoe lives in Oklahoma.

And she's like a big up at Pulse.

And so she comes over and we start talking, and she's like, where do you live?

And I said, oh, I'm in Norman.

She's like, I'm in Norman, too.

And I said, oh, that's cool.

And she goes, I live right behind the so and so barbecue joint on Highway 9.

And I was like, I'm about a mile from there.

So all of this crazy giant horse world comes just funneling down till I'm standing in the Pulse booth, and there's somebody who lives a mile from me in Oklahoma while we're standing in Kentucky.

And so we met, and she's come out a couple times and helped me with, like, some continuing education for Pulse pemf.

And she came out this weekend, and she's like, I've been looking for a place to ride.

I'm like, ride that one.

He's fat like that one.

There's plenty of horses, and she's a lovely rider.

Here's the problem.

I'm gonna tell you.

And.

And I'm sure she's gonna hear this later, because while she was here, I. Chad said something about my podcast, and she's like, you have a podcast?

I'm like, no, no, I used to do that.

I don't do that anymore.

I think I'm toast.

But I will tell you that she, as.

As an eventer and somebody who has their own barn, who trains horses, but when I'm by myself and I don't, you know, you know, you have to make choices with your time when you own your own barn.

And it is, are the horses going to get worked or is my tack gonna get cleaned and the barn aisle gonna be perfect?

You know what I mean?

And my leanings are towards getting the horses worked and maybe not so much cleaning tech and things like that, you know, like, I mean, good Lord, I clean the horse's water troughs every day.

But run a sponge over my bit.

What are you talking about.

We always said when we were running the boarding stable, you're so busy.

Run boarding stable, you don't have time to ride.

Yeah.

Well.

And.

And so I.

Because of that, I've taken the opposite kind of angle towards it, which is horses come first.

The horse is getting work comes first.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like, we're.

We're into that.

But Zoe, bless her heart, she's a hunter jumper and I'm an inventor.

Oh.

Like, she grew up in that.

And ironically, she's from Atlanta originally and grew up showing at Will's park, which is where I grew up showing.

Now I'm a few years past her in the growing up showing, but we grew.

I mean, it's crazy.

We have the same car.

Like, it's.

It's crazy as me 20 years ago.

Right.

But I will say that she, like, did she roll her so clean.

She's so clean.

And she shows up and she's got her face perfectly made up.

She's looks beautiful.

Her close match.

There's like, right now, I'm sitting here, I poultice to horse's leg, and I have a smear of poultice up my shirt from my belly button to my boobs.

Like, it's just.

That's how I live.

And she's a hunter, and like, she puts on.

I had a hold that thought.

I had a couple people in the last week ask me why we don't do video because everybody's doing video for the podcast now.

I said, that's why.

Right there.

Right what you just said.

I said we'd have to pay Jamie five times what we do to get her to do video.

You can't pay me enough to.

I mean, I don't have time.

I don't have time for that.

I mean, literally, Chad walked in, he's like, did you have some trouble down there?

I'm like, what are you talking about?

He's like, look at your shirt.

Like, oh, I didn't realize that.

Oh, it's all over my hands too.

I've been picking it out of my fingernails while we're sitting here talking, so it's fine.

But Zoe's so pretty and she looks so nice, and her tack is so clean.

And she puts on a hairnet before she rides.

And then it just makes me feel like crap.

I'm like, oh, my God, I look homeless out here.

I'm a disaster.

So anyway, Zoe has been helping me with pulse, and I do appreciate it, and thank you very much.

And we just did a really cool.

She just put Together this video of me working the racehorse and then pulsing him.

And so that's going to be the Pulse PEMF advertising.

So go to the Pulse PMF Facebook page or their socials or whatever, and follow it and you'll see a really cute video.

I think it comes out at the beginning of September.

That's like their month marketing.

That's going to be me and Mazuma out there getting it done.

And Mazuma has a little voice and he talks and it's super cute.

So anyway, that is what my daily wind is for.

Thanks to Zoe for being too pretty and making me feel bad and coming out riding my fat horses.

When she starts sweeping your aisle, you'll know that.

Listen, it's.

It's worm flooring.

You don't have to sweep.

You can just blow it.

Zoe.

So when we left, or before we left for our break last week, you were going on vacation.

I was doing the trade show.

We.

We didn't know where you were going.

It was going to be.

It was a mystery up until the very end.

So where'd you end up?

I prefer to live my life with an ulcer.

So what we did was we looked at all of the flights and I knew I wanted to go somewhere cooler than it is here.

Dallas, where I was at a hundred plus.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm only two hours up the road from you, my friend.

It is not any better up here.

So I was like, we're going north.

I don't care where it is.

And I was like, maybe we go to Vancouver.

Maybe we go to Montana.

We can go to Maine.

I wanted to go to Michigan.

Anything up top.

So we had kind of like our.

Those four picks and we were watching the flights and then we.

We got to the airport and went to the.

To the board and looked up and we're like throwing darts, basically, of like, what's colder?

What has open seats?

Because we can fly anywhere for free.

Being employees of American Airlines, as long as American flies there and as long as there's empty, which is the hard part now.

Empty seats.

Yes, it is very hard.

And so we actually made the very first flight of the day.

Now, I will tell you that Chad is able to sit in the cockpit, and it was like a tiny plane.

And he basically has to fold down one of those seats from the wall in the cockpit with his knees in the captain's back, you know, and sit on this, like, eight by eight little thing where he's straight up against the wall.

So his flight was not that comfortable.

Mine however, was fine.

So we ended up going to Montana.

So Montana was.

I was like, let's go to.

You know, we get.

Of course.

And I'm trying to plan what we're gonna do in Montana when we're on the Runway to fly to Montana.

And I'm like, gotta rent a car.

I went to Costco, rental travel stuff and rented a car.

Okay.

And I get.

I can't do it till we're like.

They say you're never good until they push back and turn.

They could push back and pull back forward.

That's happened to us before.

Did they take you off the plane?

Yes.

Because somebody else shows up.

Yeah, yeah.

That happened like years ago in Arizona.

So we're never secure until we've pushed back and turned.

So then I'm like renting a car and as we're taxing out, which there's a long taxi way in Dallas, so we're taxing out of car.

Okay.

So we are flying to Bozeman.

Bozeman, Montana.

And we get there, like.

Which sounds like one of the prettiest places on earth.

It is, but it is Yellowstone out as far as the show.

And Bozeman used to be like a.

And I'm only hearing this from locals.

Right.

But like it used to be a really nice, like kind of western Montana town.

And now it's basically like going to Santa Barbara, you know, like.

Yeah, we were out for dinner and there's like wedding parties and bachelorette parties and all sorts.

Yellowstone effect over the streets.

Yeah.

And there's.

Everybody's wearing a cowboy hat and high heels, you know, so it's not.

It's not a bunch of cowboys out partying.

Okay.

So we stayed there for one night, but then we were like, let's go to Yellowstone and just the actual, you know, park.

So we drive down to Yellowstone.

We stayed in a town called Gardner and we stayed there for a couple nights and then we wanted to go even smaller and so we went to a town called Livingston and stayed there for a night.

It was just kind of like, where else can we go?

Like, we're in Bozeman.

It's too big.

Let's go smaller.

We went to Gardiner.

Too big.

Like, let's go smaller.

We went to Livingston and Livingston was wonderful and I loved it and I did buy a cowboy hat there.

So we had a great time.

Walked around, went around the park.

Like the first day we drove around the park and it was like a 10 hour day of driving and like getting out of the car and looking at Bubbling Springs, and then trying to find a buffalo on the ridge, trying to see everything.

And then the second day, you know, I said it was kind of like, wanted to go to Alaska and just go fly fishing and stand in a river.

So we were in Montana, and I was like, I want to go fly fishing in a river, and I want to stand in my.

Up to my waist and, like, cast out and fly fish for whatever I can catch.

I don't care if I catch a stick.

I just want to catch something or just.

I don't even care to catch anything.

I just want to stand out in the river because for some reason, you guys are going to be shocked.

But my mind is not quiet very often.

So that is, like, the one time.

It's the one thing I found that my mind is completely silent because fly fishing, you have to focus on what you're doing.

And by the way, I did cast back.

I'm a terrible fly fisher.

And I hooked my earlobe.

I was just kind of asking what.

Who got who?

You hooked me.

Lucas hooked the guide.

I hooked me.

Chad didn't hook anybody.

He's, like, really good at it, of course, but it looks hard.

Yeah, it's hard.

And she.

He's like, why is your ear bleeding?

And I'm like, I'm really embarrassed to tell you, but, like, that girl moment, I hooked my own ear.

And then I was like.

And there it's barbless fishing.

So I'm like, it'll slide right out.

It'll be fine.

And so I'm trying to, like, unhook.

My ear without anybody seeing.

You're trying to hide it.

Apparently.

I was told on because my ear, like, bled, like, so.

Yes.

I'm not amazing.

You were attracting bear with your ear bleed.

I know.

Thank God there were sharks bleeding in the water, so we did catch them.

We had a great time.

Can I post a picture of you holding your fish?

Yeah, of course.

Of course.

Lucas caught the most, and he caught four, and then Chad caught one, and I caught two.

But I will tell you that I caught the biggest.

And it's really cool because it's barbless hooking.

So the hook slides in, it slides right back out, and then.

They're so amazing at.

You know, there's no trash.

We.

I mean, we were there all day.

We.

There's nobody else for, like, miles and miles and miles.

We.

We hiked two and a half miles to this river, which, if you know me, you know how much I hated that.

I wouldn't care.

I'm Like, I can't even carry pole, y'.

All.

I'm gonna fall.

Like, this is a disaster.

So we hiked two and a half miles.

I'm like, are we there yet?

And then fished all day and then had to hike out.

Out.

I'm exhausted.

It was.

But it was super fun.

And my mind was real quiet.

It was nice.

So we had a great time.

And.

And it was really fun.

And.

And like, I want to go back and fly fish in Livingston.

And we've got the guy's phone number.

And he's like, so I booked the.

The night before.

Like, I was like, hey, I would like to fly fish all day.

And they were like, great.

When would you like the reservation for?

And I'm like, tomorrow.

When?

Okay, let's see.

And so let me clarify this.

You did this entire trip and there wasn't a horse involved?

Well, we did see horses because the Yellowstone ranch does do rides and stuff.

But we watched him walk by and Chad's like, in the interest.

I'm like, no, it's like total nose to tail.

People wearing shorts and flip flops, you know, like, hunched over like a sack of potatoes.

And I was like, you know what?

I think I'm cool.

Like, I'm cool.

I was just in Colorado riding.

I'm good.

So first world problem is, like, I'm sorry.

It was fancy enough riding for me, but we had.

We had a great time and.

And I definitely want to go back.

It was, it was.

I mean, I mean, it's just beautiful.

It's the most beautiful place on earth.

It's just incredible.

So, yeah, really fun.

Well, I'm glad you had a good time.

Thanks.

And Dallas was good.

Yeah, yeah.

I'll talk about that in a little bit.

We'll get into my observations from the trade show.

You know what I found because this is.

Jennifer and I were trying to figure it out.

We think this was our 36th or 38th, 8th trade show.

So we've been a lot.

But so we always have observations from what we've.

What we've seen change over the years.

Well, first we have to talk about worm flooring.

It.

Now, does your trailer roof.

Leaky roofs are a common problem in horse trailers and RVs.

Worm flooring is a revolutionary silicone based coating.

Creates a barrier against heat and wet.

First, it seals your roof to stop the leaks before they start.

And second, it reflects back nearly 90% of those nasty UV rays, keeping your trailer or barn up to 60 degrees cooler on a blistering day.

So ditch the duct Tape and the buckets invest in long lasting peace of mind with seal and chill.

It's applied by pros for a flawless finish.

And it's only $7.50 per square foot.

That's a steal for a cooler, drier, happier trailer or RV, which means happier horses and people.

Head over to wormflooring.com to find a dealer near you.

So yeah, we went to what's called wisa, which is the Western English Sales Association.

Jennifer hosts their podcast.

They have a podcast where that's meant for retailers.

So the, this trade show is kind of on the western side and it's meant for wholesalers and manufacturers.

Meet the retailers.

So Jennifer actually hosts their podcast and I do another show for them about running a retail business.

So we're, we're intimately involved with the WISA folks that run this show.

And then there's another show at the same time called ada, which was, it's kind of the English version of WISA we said, kind of covers the western side.

ADA comes the English side.

These are where tax stores go to buy things to put in their store.

And yes, that is correct.

And it, it's, it's been interesting over the years, as I said, you know, we've been going for 20 years or more and it's been interesting to see, you know, there's definitely less and less retailers than there was 20 years ago because as we know, little tax shops are closing up.

Right.

So there's less little tax shops than there was before.

You know, Dover's building more and more stores and then there's less tax shops.

So it was interesting.

It was, I would say August show they do is not very busy.

And then January show has a lot more buyers there.

So it was, it, it's always better for us to go to the August one because our goal is to talk to the stand holders and we're putting out a special episode of the Wisdom by WISA show with a whole bunch of new products we found there.

So I'll, I'll talk about that later when it comes out.

So these are my observations.

A ton of new baseball hat companies.

There must have been.

And I've never seen this at a show before.

Just baseball hats with all kinds of western stuff on them.

Just I, I mean, scarred by the hats.

I told you.

Oh, baseball hats.

After baseball.

And the booths were 22 booths.

You know, instead of little 10 foot boosts, they were buying 20 foot booths and they must have had 100 baseball hats in each.

And there, there was at least 10 to 15 of these that I had never seen before.

I don't know what happened with baseball hats became a thing.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Well, first of all, I wear baseball hat everywhere, so I love it.

But.

Yeah, but everybody always has.

Why now?

You know?

That's what I mean.

I know.

Well, I will tell you that my husband.

You guys, for those listening, be careful what you buy.

Because my husband, sweet angel that he is, bought me a hat that had one of those western type sayings on it.

And I did not find it particularly funny, as I'm sure he did, but he bought me a hat that says, barn hair, don't care.

I'm like, are you saying I look like crap all the time?

Like, what?

I think it's particularly funny.

I'm with him.

I know you do.

It's not funny.

Buy this house for yourselves, okay?

Barn hair, don't care.

I'm like, what are you saying?

What does this mean?

So the other.

I am covered in pulses right now, so it's fine, whatever.

But I has to come from me.

So.

Boot companies.

Cowboy boot companies.

Oh, my God.

And I think this is a Yellowstone effect, to be honest.

Hat.

Cowboy hat companies and cowboy boot companies.

But, you know, there always were a lot of them.

Now there's a ton of them, you know, and it's just.

How many cowboy boots are there in the world?

Apparently a lot of different.

I have like four pairs and they all have a different mood associated with them.

I probably have more.

It's crazy.

And then cowboy hats, I mean, just one cowboy hat stand after another.

It's just there were so many new ones.

That's the thing.

Every time we go now there's new cowboy hat companies.

How do you even break into that market?

How do you create a new cowboy hat?

They look like the other cowboy hats to me.

They all kind of look alike, but.

But supplement companies, you and I talk about this all the time.

Every time we go to a trade show, there's new supplement companies.

And that's another one.

I even asked the one guy, he said, how do you break into this kind of busy supplement market?

There's so many companies.

And he didn't have a good answer.

So I don't know if he'll be back.

No new tac companies.

Tac was the most underrepresented thing at both ace, ADA and wisa.

Oh, that sucks.

Yeah, just like my favorite.

I didn't see any new tacos, anything.

It was all baseball hats and boots and supplements and saddle pads, you know, there's, there's always new saddle pad companies too, but no new tech companies.

Well, there was a guy there who we tried to interview and he wasn't allowed to.

He 24 years old, started his own work boot company, but he made him kind of look like cowboy boots a little bit.

They were kind of a cross between hybrid between a cowboy boot and a work boot made in the United States.

Two days before he goes to the show, it's just him.

He started this company by himself.

He maybe had 10 different style boots.

Fox News calls him and says, we're doing this thing on entrepreneurs.

He doesn't even know how they found him.

We're doing this thing on entrepreneurs and we want you to come on Fox News the next day.

So he said I had one day to prepare to go on Fox News.

He said he's gotten 5,000 emails since he went a week ago.

He can't handle.

And it's just him.

He said, I'm going to handle the boot orders.

So, you know that.

But that again, was kind of on the western side.

It was just, you know, when we would go to Ada, you would come.

Sometimes when we go to Ada, it just.

There were years where there were lulls and new products.

Right.

And new innovation.

I think we're kind of in one of those little lulls right now.

Okay.

And that goes cyclical.

That's us.

And that has to do with economy and everything else too.

So, you know, there's a lot of factors that go into that.

Well, did you buy yourself a baseball hat or some boots?

I got some free hats.

Okay.

So I did get some free hats.

And I did want to also mention that we saw Smart equine there, formerly SmartPak had a booth there and their brand new podcast is out.

So it's the Horse healthcast.

Episode one is out from Smart Equine.

We're producing it.

So it's on the Horse Radio Network.

And if you just look for the horse health cast, you'll find it.

And it's a really good show that's going to be all horse health.

You know, SmartPak knows a little bit about horse health and the one host they have is their R D person is the research and development person for their supplements.

So she's like super smart.

But she also, she runs a barn with 60 horses in Massachusetts and talk.

About not having time to ride.

I know.

And she's the RD person for SmartPak.

And she.

But she speaks in a way that I actually understood it.

So.

But she can get Geeky, too.

But, you know, the show is really good.

They're going to take one topic each episode and talk, you know, through that topic.

So, you know, I'm really excited that they're doing the show with us.

And that is out that first episode is that we'll have them on hopefully next week, so we can chat with the hosts over there.

But that there's my observations.

You know, it was.

You know, I just think we're in a little bit of a lull with innovation right now in the horse world.

And that could have to do with tariffs, too.

There was a lot of tariff talk.

Yeah.

You know, because these people have to deal with tariffs, you know, directly.

They're getting these items made in India or Europe or Australia or wherever and, you know, all the tariffs coming over, so.

And the retailers have to deal with that, too.

So both sides, the retailers and the wholesalers.

So, you know, it's a little inside talk, but it does affect the market.

Market.

And.

And I think sales are down a little bit right now.

I think that'd be the next poll I'll do for the auditors is I think people are not necessarily buying the things they want.

They're buying the things they need right now.

And that's showing up in the marketplace a little bit.

I'd go with that.

I go with that.

I'm probably there.

Yeah, I think we are, too.

We're, you know, when we're buying stuff for the farm now, it's do we need that or do we want that?

That's the question we ask ourselves.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And we have said, yeah, I don't need it, you know, and we just don't buy it.

So whereas maybe a year or two ago we would have.

We would have just bought it and not even asked that question.

So I.

You and I can't be the only ones that are in that place right now.

So anyway, that's where we at.

That's cool.

And other than that, we didn't see any of Dallas and I didn't have a stake, so I did.

We did fly into Love Field.

I like that little airport.

That's a nice little airport, actually.

Actually, there's only 20 gates, so it makes it great.

So let's talk about.

You have some horse stuff to talk about.

Oh, man.

I had something really weird happen over the weekend.

Like, really weird.

Like, I'm a little embarrassed to talk about it, to be fair.

Yeah.

So, you know, we have Carl, Craigslist Carl and Craigslist Carl.

We have a thing where we're like, carl don't care.

Like, there's nothing that bothers that horse.

He doesn't.

He don't care.

He's 20.

He don't care nothing.

I don't care.

Whatever.

So I get this.

If he was an old man, he'd be saying whatever.

He come, whatever he's thinking, and it doesn't matter.

He'd be sitting on the porch being racist and swearing.

You know what I mean?

Like, it's just like, he just doesn't care.

They just doesn't care.

So we have the baby Butters.

Who we got, I got from the nurse mare program and so got baby Butters.

And he's very young, and so I wanted him to have a safe, healthy friend to go out with.

So I put Butters and Carl in a paddock together.

And the paddock's like a whole, you know, two acres, so they've got plenty of space.

Just two of them roaming around.

And then at night, I leave them out and put all the other guys in little paddocks and let them go on the whole pasture.

So it was Saturday morning, and I walk out and they're in the whole big pasture and I see them way down below.

I'm like, what are they doing?

Now?

One thing Carl does care about is food.

So I can call Carl and he'll come up and I have this.

I whistle the same whistle while they're all eating.

Horse training tip here.

Whistle the same whistle while they're eating.

And then you can whistle and they'll come up because they think they're going to eat again.

It's like a Pavlov thing.

So I whistle.

He comes up to the barn and I've got, you know, to get the gates and stuff.

And I. I walk out and I'm like, what is happening right now?

And I look out and Butters is nursing on Carl.

And I was like, oh, God.

I mean, God, I don't know a lot about that stuff, but doesn't he.

He doesn't have the right parts, right?

No, he does not have the right parts.

So.

So I walk.

I'm like, oh, God, what kind of weird, sick crap am I about to see?

So I tiptoe out there, not to disturb, because I want to get a good view of what's happening here, because there could be a lot happening here.

And fortunately, he was just nursing on the side of the sheath, like the skin folds that are, like, nice.

I. I mean, because y' all know where my brain went.

I was like, oh, God.

But he Was nursing on the side of the sheath, like really sucking hard.

Nursing.

And Carl didn't care.

It's like.

And.

And he had been trying nurse before.

And Carl was like, don't touch me there.

Don't.

I think Carl just gave in.

He's like, fine, I don't care.

And so baby Butters is nursing on Carl's sheath and sucking on his sheath.

So I'm immediately like, oh God, that has to stop.

So I pull him apart and I put him in separate stuff calls and I call my vet And I'm like, Dr. Kim, what is happening?

I just saw Carl nursing.

Butter's nursing on Carl and he's a gelding.

Like, what do I do?

She was like, oh my God, I've never seen that before.

And I was like, cool.

I'm so glad I'm that girl.

And I've got this new thing of vet's never seen.

She goes, you know what?

You know what you have to worry about.

I was like, please tell me.

She goes, you need to watch Carl Hakey get an infection from that.

I'm like, the last thing I was concerned about was Carl.

Psychologically.

My baby thinks that gelding is his.

Daddy and his actually thinks it's his mommy.

Yeah, self soothing by sucking on the side of his sheath.

And she was like, well, he could get an infection from that.

I'm like, I don't care about Carl.

So I've now to separate them and.

You can't put them out with anybody.

I know.

Well, here's the next piece in the puzzle is.

I know you're going to be shocked.

I hope everybody's sitting down.

But Groot came home.

That's right.

Groot went on a trial.

I gave him to this child.

And I was like, take him for a month.

Make sure you like him.

How long did he last?

How long did he last?

Let me guess.

One week.

Six days.

Six days.

And I told him, I go, this is probably not gonna work.

This is too much horse for you and I.

He's too sensitive.

And she's like transitioning from lesson horses to other horses.

And I'm like, I don't want you to buy him.

I want you to take him and just try him.

So they took him and try him in six days.

They.

They send him back.

So now it's like a ping pong ball.

He just keeps coming back.

Oh my God.

For those playing at home, that's the fourth time this horse has been returned to me.

So cool.

He's.

He's just really, really difficult to ride.

And he's just a lies.

Very bouncy.

He's not comfortable.

He's kind of like on the ground.

He's the sweetest thing in the world, but he can kind of get frantic when.

When he introduced new stuff and.

And so anyway, so now Groot has a job and he's out with Butters.

And so far no nursing has gone on, but now Carl has to be kicked out with the racehorses.

So it's all super fun and exciting.

Horses are fun.

And.

And you mentioned to me, like, before we were doing this, it's like you can't keep every horse.

And I am not keeping every horse.

So I wanted to give you guys an update on Maverick, who's a little buckskin horse that has been here.

And I was using him to start horses and stuff, but I'm not starting horses anymore.

So he's just been hanging out and I've been keeping him.

Well, my best friend larissa, who lives 45 minutes from here, she has two boys and they're both nine and they love horses.

And so she is borrowing Maverick and letting her kids ride him.

So that's a perfect horse, Maverick, for a little boy.

I know.

And they love the best name everything so much.

They love him so much.

I mean, he can only, like, he can't lope.

He just walks around and trots a little bit here and there, but it's perfect for them.

And I told her, I said, you know, she's got a baby horse course that she's starting.

I did the first bit, but she's having problems with it going forward.

So I'm like, just have your kids ride Maverick in front of you and follow Maverick.

And that's working out great.

So everybody's happy.

So Maverick is currently on loan per Malone or whatever.

Like I said, they can come back.

Well, he lasted more than six days, right?

Yes, yes.

He's been there for two months now.

Okay.

They're still loving him.

I get pictures all the time.

And the kids loaded him in the trailer when they came to pick him up, up.

And we videoed that.

It's so cute.

He's great horse, so I'm happy for him.

Groot's back.

Butter's sucking on Carl's ding Dong and it's just a whole disaster.

Now Groot.

So is Butters alone right now?

Because.

No, no, Butters is out with Groot.

And because Groot's not going to put up with this crap.

Well, Groot's not putting up with it.

And then finally Duke has warmed up enough to be out with them as well.

So we've got.

And neither one of them is going to let that happen.

Happened.

So Duke won't let him within 20ft.

He's like, he runs away.

He runs away from the baby.

So it's fine.

But there you go.

That's the update on all the horses.

Ace is still on vacation.

Fat boy Miles is getting worked several days a week.

And then I've got the kissing spine therapy horse and then the racehorse who's got one more week here while I've been working on getting him fit and.

And everything.

So that's where I'm at.

And it's hot and it sucks.

Yeah, it's kind of hot.

Yeah, it's hot everywhere this year.

Year.

Yep.

Well, I have a couple of world records that have happened this year that I want to tell you about.

But first, should these have been in weird news?

Should we save these or is this okay?

It's not super weird.

No, these aren't super weird.

Okay.

Okay.

But first, do you wonder why your horse may resist buck trip refuse jumps or show restricted movement?

Have you tried endless solutions to uncover the cause?

The answer might be right in front of you.

Saddle fit issues often manifest in ways you might never have considered.

Schlage saddles are carefully designed to match the biomechanics of your horse and the anatomy of the rider.

They maximize shoulder freedom, avoid negative pressure points, and sit precisely in the ideal saddle support area.

Plus, they are fully adjustable to accommodate your horse's changing shape or your evolving needs.

This allows your horse to move freely and comfortably while giving you the optimal balance and support you're looking for.

Understand how your saddle fits and what can be done if it doesn't is essential to your horse's health, comfort and performance.

Book your appointment today@shlaza.com that's S C-H-L-E-E-S E.com and we'll put a link to that in our show notes.

So the first, there were a couple horse related Guinness world records this year.

The one I. Oh, these are all new.

Yeah, the one I'm throwing shade on because I just don't believe it it.

But the first one is a lady that's been on our show a couple of times.

Do you remember when we talked about worlds?

We had a late author on that wrote a book about worlds and we had her on to explain worlds and the different meanings of worlds.

I don't think I was here that day, but I do remember you telling me that.

Yeah.

And then there was a whole conversation with our listeners about whorls.

Well, this is the same lady.

Her name is Megan Reinman.

And she now has the record with her horse Rusty for the most tricks performed by a horse in three minutes.

That's right.

That's a record.

Rusty performed an impressive 33 distinct tricks in just three minutes.

Only one trick was disqualified due to stepping off a teeter totter prematurely.

So the official count stands at 33.

They included a spin, a stay, a fist bump, as well as complex feats like playing the piano, painting, and waving a flag.

So the record was officially recognized in June of 2025.

So we're.

I.

That's how my dog does tricks.

Right?

So I'll be like, okay, sit.

And she lays down, rolls over frantically, does every trick to get the cookie.

Is that kind of what happened?

I. I don't know.

We're gonna get.

I'm trying to get Megan on.

She's.

As I said, she's been on a couple times before.

So I'm gonna try and get Megan on to talk about how she got the world record and how that works.

Do you have to contact them ahead of time?

You know, what happens, happens.

What's the process?

The second one is the oldest living horse currently.

And this.

I. I just thought it would be older.

Apparently, right now, as verified in 2024, in November, and apparently staying that way in 2025 is.

I don't know how you say it.

Echo Cat is the oldest living horse at 36 years old in 193 days.

Does that seem low to you?

It's a purebred Arabian mare from the United States, by the way, I would have been higher than that.

Well, they're saying current.

Yeah, but I mean, still, there's no horse over 36.

There's no.

I don't remember anybody calling me asking.

Exactly.

I have any older horses?

I mean, we had two ponies that lived to over 40, but, you know, this is a horse that's different.

I don't know.

I just found that one.

I kind of doubted it.

I gotta believe there's a horse older than that right now.

Well, you know the people to ask the people listening to this podcast.

Yeah.

Does anybody have a 1 over 36?

Let us know.

We'll put you in for a Guinness World record.

Yeah, I don't know.

I mean, like, so.

So Duke doesn't have papers, but he's super old.

Like, he's.

Yeah.

And I'm sure they're picky about the papers proving the date of birth and all that stuff.

I'm sure they are.

Pick probably some Heinz 57 horses out there that are over that age.

We just don't know.

So anybody wanting to take Echo Cat's space on the pedestal of oldest horse?

Yeah, if you have proof, let us know.

We'll.

We'll.

We'll do this together.

We'll get a Guinness world record together.

Let us know.

You can write to me, Glenn, at horseradionetwork.com There's a property that came up for sale.

We, we'd like to talk about these occasionally.

So this one is, this one is in Chesapeake City, Maryland, where my brother used to live.

For about 20 years he lived there.

It's beautiful.

It's on the panhandle out there in Maryland along the Chesapeake between Chesapeake Bay.

It's just a beautiful place.

It's flat as flat could be.

And there's a barn there that's for sale.

Go to the link and look at the pictures while I'm describing this, Jamie.

All right.

Okay.

How about a 45,000 square foot indoor show barn?

How about 510 acres?

How about a glass enclosed observation area that includes a complete commercial kitchen and two bars?

Oh, my God.

That indoor is the most beautiful thing about kitchen.

Yeah.

The main house is a 9,000 square foot Gregorian manor and blends classic style with modern comforts.

It's a really cool looking house.

Sorry, you cannot put hay in that hay loft.

It is too pretty.

I, I thought the same thing when I saw the hayloft.

I was like, they're gonna put hay up there that get it dirty.

The ceilings in this barn are just.

I.

The wood used in this barn must have cost $5 million just for the.

Wood staircase in the barn looks as fancy as a staircase.

You would see like, like, you know, the part of the Titanic at the very end when they're like walking up the stairs and she sees Jack.

That's reminiscent of the staircase that you're looking at in this barn, the stalls.

I don't know if you got to the place where the stalls are the concrete block ones, but it, it's just.

It looks like something that would be in Saudi Arabia, actually.

It was just.

It is something else.

This place is incredible.

I mean, the house, the barn's incredible.

The house is incredible.

The, the tack room.

Did you see the tack room?

Oh, my God, it's amazing.

It's.

The tack room must have room.

How many billions of dollars is this?

Okay, well, we'll get to that.

Let me finish.

I'm not Done yet.

Okay.

So they also have a heated indoor pool that's housed in a timber framed pavilion so you can swim year round.

Because, you know, I mean, where else would you have your indoor pool than a timber framed pavilion?

Even better yet, it's protected by a conservation easement.

So all 500 acres are preserved.

They're never going to be, they're never going to be developed.

It has 10 miles of fencing, a six horse equi sizer or eurociser.

The one they push them around.

I think it 31 stalls in one barn and 15 stalls in the other barn.

And when I say stalls, you could live and sleep in these.

I mean this is just gorgeous.

It's just unbelievable.

So on the coast of Maryland, you know, along the water actually.

So it's not too far from the water.

What would you, what would you have guessed for this place?

And I mean it is incredible.

And the woodwork in here is just like something out of a mansion.

Well, I will tell you that I just saw a nine acre property south of me in the kind of the middle of nowhere that has a covered arena and like it's kind of set up to be a breeding barn.

And it was not that impressive.

And they wanted 2 million.

So this has got to be 15 million.

You can get this for the low price of $29.8 million.

Oh dear God.

What is going on?

It's crazy.

You know, that house is 9,000 square feet, but it's listed as a four bedroom, four bath.

You think it may be 12 bedroom, 12 bath?

You know, for big old rooms.

Yeah, yeah, must be.

But I mean this is one of the prettier barns we've ever seen.

As I'm looking at it, it popped up for me to sign up for the newsletter associated with it.

You.

Should I do that?

Yeah, yeah, sure.

I'm sure you'll be on their list.

You'll be the first one they call.

This is one of those places where to see it.

They do your credit report first.

Yeah.

Check your balances before you even go out.

It's very cool.

So there is a list of pop ups on the bottom of other places.

The first one is in Maryland.

That's 15 million.

Then $8 million one in New Jersey and Nebraska's seven point and then.

Oh yeah, no, I can't have any of these.

There's a vineyard in New Jersey for 65 or 6.5 million.

Oh, let's get that one.

Yeah, we can make it.

We can.

Jennifer lived, we lived in a place where she.

The next Door was a orchard and it was oranges and it was like a mile long thing of rows of oranges.

She still loved to ride in there.

This is a fun website.

Oh my God.

Horse property.

If you want to drink.

Wow.

Horseproperties.net.

check it out.

You'll.

You're gonna.

That'll waste a couple hours just checking out these places.

All right, I'll put a link to that.

Our show notes too.

Before we get to that girl stories that our auditors have, I wanted to mention that I did a poll quick because one of the that girl stories involved running out of gas.

And we've talked about the fact that we think that horse girls run out of gas more than the general populace.

This.

And I thought I'm going to do a poll.

We're going to see and we've already had 120 votes.

So they're pretty good representation.

So I have never run out of gas.

Is that 57%, 42%.

I've run out of gas.

And in 1% I've run out of gas pulling the trailer, which I thought was the ultimate.

So you would probably.

I'm going to guess that you're going to be in the.

I have run out of gas.

Okay.

Okay.

Well, I'm actually in one of the categories and it is the last category.

I ran out of.

You're the 1%.

Yes.

But I have an explanation that my D bag ex boyfriend.

My gas tank didn't work in my.

I had a Dodge Ram stick shift and the gas station, the gas tank always said it was full and so you never knew.

So I would do mathematically, like how soon I could go.

I needed to go.

And I mean, I don't have time to run out of gas.

Like, I don't have time for that.

So my tank is always, if I get down to halfway, it's getting full because like I can't.

It's too stressful.

I have enough stress.

I don't need that kind of stress.

But we were driving, I was driving with my D bag ex boyfriend and we were going from Atlanta down to Ocala, delivering a horse because I've had a billion jobs and I was like shipping horses.

So I get in the car and we're driving down and, and, and he's like, oh, you're fine.

I'm like, no, I need to find a gas station.

He's like, you're fine.

I've done the math.

You're fine.

You've got.

We can, we can make it to Ocala.

We're fine.

And I was like, I really think we need gas.

And I've got this horse in the trailer that's going down to a hospital in Ocala for surgery.

And I'm driving down and I run out of gas in a diesel.

And he was like, why didn't you get gas?

And I'm like, I'm going to murder you.

I would never have run out of gas, much less gas in the horse trailer if he wasn't like, constantly like, we're fine, we're fine, we're fine.

And he was one of those like super gaslighty kind of guys where you're just like, do you start to believe what they say?

Like, it was very toxic.

So any, any rate, that's the only time I've run out of gas, knock on wood.

Because I am one of those people that, that I have.

I can't.

It's too stressful.

What about you?

Which person are you?

We also had a funny.

You say that it, it was.

And there was a lot of comments about their, their gas indicator not working, a gas gauge not working well.

We also had a Dodge Ram that the gas gauge didn't work.

I don't know.

Was that a thing back then that worked?

I think there was a couple years of it getting stuck.

It was a.

It, it was a problem.

Ours was always at about a quarter tank.

So you were constantly looking at it, thinking you were running out of gas.

So yeah, we also had to keep track of mileage.

And I have never run out of gas because I'm one of those that it gets to a quarter tank, I get really nervous.

I got to put gas in it.

Jennifer, on the other hand, will run it till it says one mile.

Jennifer is one of those people that constantly tries to wean their car off gas.

Yes, yes, exactly, exactly.

If I don't stop, it, doesn't need it.

Now I've been broken off where I'm like, I've been putting like 86 cents a gas gas, you know, Like, I mean, I've been to the point where, like, I don't have any money, but I need gas.

In the old days, we'd have the $2 you dug out of somewhere to put $2 of gas in it.

Yup, yup.

That was when gas was a little cheaper, though.

$2 actually bought you some gas.

Yeah.

You bought a couple gallons, not just half a gallon with that.

There was one on here.

I won't say her name because I don't have permission, but she said she.

This is one of Our listeners, she said, fun fact, fact, Hank Williams iii, which I think is Hank Williams Junior's son.

Yes.

Picked me up from the side of the road after I ran out of gas on the freeway.

And he bought my gas.

So she at least had a cool story to tell.

He never called.

Yeah, there was whole bunches of stories of people running out of gas and how it happened.

Diesels are the ones you don't want to run out of because you got to prime that sucker.

I mean, yeah, no, it's a pro.

It's a problem.

I.

And fortunately, I had the spray bottle and we got it done.

But like, you run out of gas on the side of the road with the horse in the trailer on the side of the freeway, you just would rather die.

Yeah, yeah, I can see that.

I can see that.

All right, let's do a.

Let's do some that girl moments.

We do these once a month.

I don't want to be that girl.

That girl.

That girl.

What are we talking about here, Jamie?

Well, what that girl is, is those moments where you're like, you.

Actually, to be fair, you don't know you're that girl until later and you think about it or somebody tells you, oh, my God, you were that girl.

Because I'm that girl.

Like, I've mentioned it already today that I was that girl.

When I am able to call the vet and tell them something that's happening in my farm and they've never seen it, what do you.

I don't want to be that girl.

So that's Baby Butters was that girl.

Yeah.

Right.

Well, Carl was that girl.

But yeah, that's the thing about being that girls.

You don't know you're that girl until afterwards.

And so, yeah, this is a whole.

It's a.

It's a.

It's a.

It's a section of our life where you just.

You can't help it.

It just happens.

And you don't know about it until you don't realize it until later.

So that girl is.

You've done something.

And like, so these are the tales of stories of where you're that girl.

But again, you don't it till later.

But Cali says, and there was this.

This is where I got the idea, right here.

I ran out of gas in my workplace parking lot and the gas station is half a mile down the road and I drive right by it every single day.

That's embarrassing.

Yes, that counts, Kaylee.

It counts.

That's embarrassing.

And you're parking lot of the work because then you got to tell somebody at work, right?

You need somebody to take you to the gas station.

The.

It's the phone call of shame.

Like the walk of shame.

Yeah, the walk of shame.

And nobody wants to tell their spouse that's ran out of gas either.

That's the other thing.

No, the next one.

Or.

Chris said, I backed into my barn door with the tractor.

After I ran over a chunk of wood with the lawnmower, I grounded myself from the tractor for a few days.

Yeah, that's probably a good idea.

Probably.

How did you back.

What is backing into the barn door have to do with running over a tractor?

I think there were two separate incidents with the tractor.

Oh, so she didn't back into the barn door because of the wood?

No, I think two separate incidents.

But chief, at that point, she said, I better come quit.

And Christie, as your horse husband, also said, you better quit.

Yeah.

And Christy, just so you know, you're braver than me because I won't even drive the tractor because I think it's terrifying.

It's terrifying.

You still don't drive the tractor?

I still don't drive the tractor.

Like, I really wish I could put out round bales, and I just can't do it.

I can't do it.

It's.

It's.

I can't.

I'm afraid that tractor is going to flip over.

Did I tell you why I'm afraid of tractor yet?

Has it?

Here's the thing.

I went to Equin Management School at the Kentucky Horse park when I was 18 years old.

Okay?

And every morning, Margie Stickney, who was our instructor, would come in with a newspaper article about somebody dying on a tractor because it flipped over.

And what she was trying to do was we had to drive the tractor to dump the manure.

And what she was trying to do is educate us in the fact that tractor safety is important.

But what it did tfold was make me terrified of tractors.

Yeah, you'll get on a racehorse.

Don't care.

That's different.

Amanda says.

Now, Amanda, I'm gonna tell you something.

Do you ever see the videos are called Fridays with Frank?

No.

So Fridays with Frank is.

He's a police officer and he lives in Merit in.

In Arizona, like kind of where I used to live.

And he records his interactions on Fridays pulling people over.

He.

He's like a traffic cop, and there's people that he will pull over and he says some very, very, like, almost catchphrase type stuff.

So I'm going to give you Frank's catchphrase After I read to you Amanda's thing.

My car is straight piped so very.

My car is a straight piped so very loud Mustang.

She says, this is important to the store story.

I got stuck at a red light on a hill in the center of my small town in my manual car.

I forgot to put it in first.

So I end up trying to do the hill, start from third gear.

And my car shuttered, tried to stall, and I revved it to the moon, because that's what you do when you're trying to get it from the stalling rabbit.

And once I realized what was wrong, I quickly put it in first, dumped the clutch and took off so loudly that everybody on the sidewalk was looking at me.

Now, here's what Fridays with Frank will tell you.

Officer Frank, he will tell you when he pulls.

He'll walk up to the car and he's like, hey, citizen, do you know I pulled you over?

They're like, no.

He goes, first of all, I was attracted to looking at you because you're, You're.

You have no muffler.

And I would like you to know right now that everybody in your neighborhood hates you.

Yes, everybody hates you.

So that attracted me to looking at you first.

And then I noticed, you know, you're speeding.

Your window were too.

Too tentive, whatever it is.

But, Amanda, your neighbors hate you.

Frank, she.

Officer Frank tells me that she did.

Say hashtag locally hated.

Yes, you are, Amanda.

When we hear them go by here at the farm, I. I always look out the window and go, a hole.

So there you go.

You're that person.

Amanda.

Yes.

Amanda, get a muffler.

God's sake.

You're going to get pulled over by the police more.

That could have been a full month of board.

You know what?

Amanda's car is probably red, too.

And red cars always get pulled over more.

It's probably a red Mustang.

Yep.

Bless your heart.

Bless your heart.

You need to have your own savings account for tickets.

Kim sent this one in the world's shortest drive to scratch my new to me truck.

My husband had tucked the truck next to the block wall to create space.

I failed to account for the block pillar that was sticking out when I pulled forward all of three inches.

Yeah, Ray doesn't like you anymore, Kimberly.

You're never going to drive his truck again.

But then he is the one that parked it so close to the block wall, so maybe it's his fault.

It's.

I, I would obviously say it's his fault, but it reminds me of the movie with David Spade and where Tommy boy.

Where Tommy boy has the door open and he realizes he's got a reverse to the next guy.

Gas pump and reverses back and the door hits the pylon and pops off.

And I'm like, yep, that's what you did.

You're lucky.

You're lucky you didn't back into that block pillar with your door open all of 3 inches.

Gerald Dean says, last night I went to meet my friend for happy hour, and I decided to take my truck instead of my new vehicle.

Both are Toyotas.

When I was leaving, I took out my keys.

Keys, but damn, the door wasn't unlocking.

I went to the other side because I thought maybe the lock was broken.

Key went in.

Nothing, Nada.

I then looked at the key in my hand, and it was for the other vehicle.

I had both keys in my purse.

However, one has a key fob attached and the other one doesn't.

Well, you know what?

I did the thing where I drove out my.

My cup.

My key was, like, close enough to my car that it started, and I drove down, thank God, just to the barn, and then got out, turned the car off, and then went to get back in.

It would start again.

Why won't my car start?

So, Geraldine, I get it.

You could have went to the store, been 20 miles away and not.

It could have been way worse, girl.

Doesn't it give you an indicator when it's too far from the key?

Does it start beeping?

Yeah, it should.

It should.

But my.

I have this, like, shelving unit next to my car in the garage, and my purse was sitting on the shelf.

And I don't.

I don't know.

I don't know why it worked.

I've tried to replicate it and it won't happen.

Peggy said, 20 years plus ago, my cousin and I went to the Chippendales after the show.

We were invited to go on stage and take pictures with them.

I still have the pictures somewhere.

While walking back, I tripped and fell down the stairs in front of the whole crowd and ruptured the joint capsule of my ankle.

My co workers died laughing when I walked in the door on crutches.

See, this is why that girl's important because.

Because you get to exercise these embarrassing moments, and then we get to laugh at them.

Oh, my God.

Okay, that's as that girl as it gets.

You had to go to the hospital after the Chippendale show?

Basically, yes, that's it.

And tell the doctor how she broke her ankle.

Well, see, I was like, did they pull you up on stage and dance?

No.

Did they like take you around?

No, I just fell down the stairs.

Oh my God, that's great, Peggy.

Carrie says I took my imported Westfalen grand prix dressage horse and made her do a beginner novice event because.

Why not?

So I wrote to Carrie and said, how did you win?

Because, Carrie, you're the one that we used to hate when we went to the beginning beginning of novice events and a Westphalian shows up when we had our thoroughbred that was barely broke.

So yes, everybody in that class hated you.

Carrie.

You're basically the horse version of Amanda with the loud car.

Exactly, exactly.

The Westphalian, the loud car.

And I said, did you win?

And she said, yes.

So of course she did.

It's funny, I had my big fancy warmblood demure that we competed forever and like we only could get through novice and.

And he would go out and get like a freaking 12 in dressage and people be like, I can't believe you brought that horse here.

And I'm like, you haven't seen him jump yet.

Wait till tomorrow.

Wait till tomorrow.

It's fine.

It all always evened out.

They're like, oh, yeah, okay.

I know.

Carrie too.

I'm.

I say that with love, Carrie.

Uh huh, sure.

Everybody hits you.

Katie said.

On an endurance ride, I fell off my horse while he was standing peeing.

I leaned over to the left to make sure in his.

I learned.

I leaned over to the left to make certain his pee was a good color.

It's important.

And then the saddle started slipping.

He thought he was being attacked from the side, so he went right the saddle keep going.

And I went off.

As my air vest popped, which I'm sorry, with the air vest pop, the horses really take off.

It's like big boom on their back.

They said there was only five other riders to witness.

Thank goodness.

I'm like those five told five.

Everybody at camp knew by the time she.

Everybody knows.

Everybody knew.

That's fantastic.

That's funny.

Fell off while the horse is peeing.

That's a first.

Laurie said.

In the barn, I felt a plop of warm goop land on my back, meaning a chicken up in the rafters had just pooped on me.

Oh.

So I ripped off my blank shirt and go running towards the house.

Hot summer day.

So I'm not wearing a bra.

Oh.

Glance to my right and to my heart.

There is a state trooper parked at the end of my driveway.

I certainly wasn't expecting him and not sure what he saw.

I'm imagining him on his radio saying, central, can you send me another unit?

I think we have a 918 code for mental case.

I almost never have anybody in my driveway, so it was just bad timing.

Yeah, I'd say it was.

God, can you imagine her heart when she saw that?

I just.

First of all, good on you for not wearing a bra.

Second of all, man, I've been there.

Remember, I was peeing and there was the snake underneath me, and I ran running out with my pants around my ankles.

And, like, Anna was out there.

Yeah, I was a whole mess.

Like, I get it, girl.

Sometimes you just gotta pull it off and go.

I think that was the most exciting thing that happened to that cop all week.

It was the highlight of his week.

I mean, if you can't be naked on your own property.

That's right.

Be naked and freaking out.

That's right.

Right.

That's right.

Amy said, I went to my annual physical.

The nurse said, are you in any pain today?

And I stare confused, and go, are you expecting a baseline of zero?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's true.

What is the baseline for horse people?

About 40%.

I'm like, wait, hold on, let me move.

Because I can't sit still like that for too long.

Otherwise, I can't stand up.

Yeah.

So, no, the.

Like, how much pain?

Pain, like, on a.

There was, like, on a scale of 1 to 10, and I'm like, well, what's zero?

Zero.

Used to be when you were about 10, you.

That was zero from 10 on.

It's not zero anymore.

I mean, the.

They have, like, pictures of the pain scale, and, like, 10 is like, I can't move.

I'm like, I border at a five.

Right.

All the time.

All the time.

I. I was predicting 44 to 5 was where average horse person born orders.

See, y'.

All.

We have a full week of shows planned for you, so stay tuned.

All right, everybody, Spade, Neuter, and Geld, time for the auditor post show.

We want to remind you that this is not always safe for work or the kiddos.

Thanks for hanging around for our nonsense.

So last week, I posted that we had hit 17 years in podcasting.

We had our anniversary, and that was from when the first episode of Stable Scoop went out in 2008.

Yes.

And there's been some watershed moments for podcasting along the way, and the first one, I would say, was the serial podcast.

Serial podcast did very well.

It really brought podcasting to the forefront front.

That's the podcast on serial killers.

Yeah, the murdery one about the.

The.

No, it wasn't even serial killer.

It was about one particular.

It was the first real true crime podcast about one particular murder and whether did he do it or didn't he do it?

And he ended up getting off after the podcast.

But it had like 100 million downloads.

So it was the one that really bought podcasting to the forefront.

And then Covet came along and podcasting really became more popular.

You know, there's one TV show that didn't hurt us either, and that's Murders in the Building.

Right.

Which is all about a podcast.

So podcasting became mainstream, especially after Covid.

This here is the next watershed moment happened last week on a podcast called the New Heights Podcast.

And everybody knows what I'm talking about.

Taylor Swift shows up on her boyfriend's podcast, Travis and Jason Kelsey's podcast, and it's going to become the most downloaded podcast of all time.

I have seen more articles, more stories, more posts on my Facebook page about this than any other podcast I've ever seen.

There's 19 million views already just on YouTube of this episode.

Oh, my God.

So Variety reported that the Kelsey brothers signed a three year deal with Amazon's Wondery, which is worth more than $100 million.

And they said since this episode went out, they've been flooded with.

Wondery has been flooded with requests from sponsors to sponsor this podcast.

Yeah, no kidding.

And do you think Wondery's like, maybe, Taylor, can you get your own podcast, please?

So, you know, Taylor did it obviously as her boyfriend and she felt comfortable there.

And I did listen to part of it.

And these two are.

These are brothers and, you know, they're football players.

Years 10 years ago, if you told me the most popular episode ever was be two football players sitting around talking with one of the girlfriends who happens to be a pop star, I would have said, what?

But it's going to be the most downloaded of all time, I guarantee.

I guarantee you.

And you know what?

It was kind of fun to listen to.

I'm not even a Taylor, really.

Taylor fan.

Do you have to subscribe to Wondery to hear it?

No.

Any podcast player you can find it at.

And I listen to.

I've taken a liking to the brother, Jason Kelsey.

His wife Kylie does a show and she does a lot of YouTube and TikTok and shorts too.

Kylie's become a star in her own right and I like listening to her.

She's kind of fun.

She's entertaining and fun and, you know, she just fits the bill.

But she also has a pretty good show.

So this family's Doing very well in the podcast world.

I wonder if they made more money.

Money on this podcast deal or football.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Oh, football.

I mean, they're.

They're like the football guys.

I mean, I'm no football expert by.

Any stretch, but certainly the most popular right now.

And they're popular because of this, obviously because of football.

Because of this podcast, too, you know, has really brought them to the forefront because everybody, you know, likes their podcast.

But yeah, that's.

That's just a watershed moment for podcasting.

See, I'm all like, when are Travis and Taylor gonna get married?

I mean, they're like, oh, they talk about together.

I don't understand.

Do they really?

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

And they totally.

And they kind of hint that they're looking for.

They're either living together now or they're looking for a new house together.

Why?

Neither one of them is ever.

Taylor's never home.

Well, she has, like, 45 houses now, doesn't she?

I don't know.

Yeah.

Like, which one of my homes would you like to live in?

Yeah, can't do that.

We have to have our own separate home where we live together.

No, it was.

I just saw that and said, oh, and then all those press.

I've never seen so much press about a podcast.

But podcasting has become mainstream now.

You see it everywhere, Every article.

Again, Remember when we started this, and I went from terrestrial radio to this podcast I got a billion qu.

A billion times somebody would say, what's a podcast?

Like, what station is it on those kinds of things?

So the podcasting is.

I wonder if those people that asked me that, think back, and they're like, wow, she was a pioneer.

No, probably not.

When.

When we read the trade show.

This is.

This is probably the first trade show where we would go up and talk to people at the stand and mention that we, you know, we do a podcast, and there wasn't the question of what's a podcast?

I think we didn't have that question once.

That was the first year.

Probably the first year we didn't have somebody say, you know, what's a podcast?

Oh, wow.

Because we've always had somebody say, what's a podcast?

This is probably the first time that.

I mean, when you and I started, when we'd go to Ada, we'd spend half our time just explaining to the.

To the vendors what podcasts were and then trying to convince them to come on the show.

I didn't have any problem getting interviews at this.

We did Podcasts.

Before Apple had a podcast app that.

Before there was an iPhone.

We did podcasts before there was iPhones.

Now, not in 2000, right?

Yes, we.

There was iPhones.

I remember, I look it up.

When did I come out?

I remember being on the Birch show and we had a. I had a bid that I did, which is they wanted to see this.

They sent me out with an iPhone.

Somebody else, you're right, they had just come out in 2007.

They weren't popular yet in 2008.

So the whole thing was I had to sit at a restaurant and scroll through an iPhone and see how many people came up to talk to me about the new iPhone.

Because what we.

What I had to do when I first started listening to podcasts in about 2006, 2007 was download them to my ipod.

Yeah, yeah, you had.

And it was a multi step process to get it onto the ipod.

So.

Yeah, so iPhones were just coming out in 2008, but not everybody had them.

You know, smartphones.

I wonder when that.

When can you say that everybody had a smartphone?

I don't know, 2012?

12.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I didn't get a cell phone until I was 25, so.

But it's because I was poor.

So.

Yeah, it's when I posted that, you know, 17 years.

First of all, it hit me that it was 17 years ago and it just.

How things have changed in 17 years.

Oh, I remember we used to do giveaways and we give away an ipod shuffle.

Yes.

Or what was the little tiny ones?

Oh, they had a zoom.

That.

That was Microsoft's version that lasted what, about a week?

Yeah, I didn't have a zoom.

I had.

It was those little tiny ones that.

Were like clip ons, ipod, mini.

Minis.

Yes.

And it was mini too.

It was tiny.

It was tiny.

Four songs.

But you had to hook it up to your computer.

You had to download the stuff to your computer and then download it to there.

Yeah, it didn't connect to anything.

You know, there was no WI fi or Bluetooth then.

My God, we're so old.

I know, it's funny.

Funny.

Take it for granted now how we get things onto our phones.

I mean, I downloaded at the airport a whole season of a TV show so I could watch it on the plane.

Really downloaded it at the airport a whole season.

We could never do that before.

That's crazy.

No, I remember we also gave away DVDs of entire seasons, like, oh, Office season 6, be color 25.

Like DVDs I don't even have a DDD player at all anymore hooked up to the TV.

It's probably in a box somewhere.

Speaking of not speaking of, I do have a question for you about Pennsylvania.

So Lucas has Speed of music is what I was thinking of.

Luke says his favorite band, it's called twenty one Pilots and he's obsessed.

And for the last couple years I've given him and Chad tickets to a 21 pilot show.

Remember I told you I was waiting for the tickets and I was like number 29, 000 in line line.

Well, I've learned that I can buy tickets to the show in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Oh, you gotta go.

And it all three tickets and a.

The train or rental car.

All three tickets in a hotel is cheaper than one ticket in Dallas.

Oh, you gotta go.

Hershey, Pennsylvania, that's where we.

When we went to concerts we'd go to her in to Hershey.

Oh really?

Yeah, that's where.

So if we fly into Philly, there's a train we can take.

No flying.

Yeah, well I'm at the mercy of American Airlines, remember?

Yeah, I mean if you could fly into Harrisburg, it's not.

It's a half an hour from there.

Harrisburg.

Apparently it's a two hour train to Philly.

So fly in Harrisburg.

Now if.

Should we stop in Hershey and like go to Hershey?

You can take the tour of the factory, which is kind of a ride.

Now you don't actually get to see the actual factory anymore.

But then there's a huge amusement park Hershey has.

That's where we'd go to an amusement park.

What?

Roller coasters all.

That's the stuff.

Hershey has a huge amusement park.

Okay.

Yeah, it's known for that.

Yeah.

So Hershey park is fun.

The town of Hershey is kind of cool.

It does smell like chocolate.

And then you can tour the factories right there.

All where the stadium is.

This is all in the same parking lot basically.

So you got the amusement park, you got the stadium and you, you, you just.

Everything's right in the same spot.

I can't tell you how many concerts we saw at Hershey.

Okay, so Hershey is a good place to go.

Definitely.

Yeah.

And if you have never been to Hershey, it's just of kind of unique.

So let's see.

I'm looking and they probably have a ton of hotels in Hershey now.

I mean they didn't years ago.

So it's September 27th in Hershey and it's on a Saturday, which is great.

We were thinking about that.

Or Tinley Park, Illinois.

And this, we fly into Chicago and go down Chad's like, Chicago is scary.

Yeah.

I was like, cool, Hershey.

And.

And he's like, oh, that's great.

And.

And then Lucas wouldn't have to miss any school.

And I could potentially still do the.

Podcast.

Direct to Philly.

Ah, okay.

So you said we should go.

Yeah, you definitely should go to Hershey and then definitely do the tour of the factory.

It's just, you know, it's a ride, but it's kind of fun.

And then they dump you out in the largest store selling every Hershey thing imaginable.

Now, do they actually sell Hershey's that doesn't have corn syrup and artificial colors?

No, that's what makes Hershey good.

That's what makes it a good candy bar.

They sell the five pound bars if you want to buy somebody.

We bought Hershey's is gross.

Oh, I love Hershey.

We.

We just had a Hershey bar the other day and I said, this is still my favorite chocolate.

Maybe because it's.

We grew up there too.

I don't know.

Jennifer's mother house was the house beside the main factory in Hershey on the main street when she was growing up.

And then Hershey eventually bought it and tore them all down and built more factories.

But does the water taste like chocolate?

It smells like chocolate in the town.

I'm telling you.

You drive into town and smells like chocolate.

That's crazy.

It does.

Yep.

It smells like.

Now, I think they've moved a lot of production off site.

Now, in the old days when we were growing up, you used to be able to tour the factory.

They just had lines on the floor.

And the guide would take you around, you'd walk around the factory.

So as a kid, I remember walking through the factory seeing the Hershey Kisses being made by the millions.

I mean, tons of Hershey kisses falling off the line.

And we always joked about, we just want to go jump in that vat of Hershey Kisses.

It was the coolest thing.

So you can't.

You don't get to see any of that anymore?

No, it just goes through this ride that kind of tells you how it's made and stuff.

You don't get to see any of the actual factory anymore.

But they had these huge vats because they mix the chocolate and has to ferment or do whatever it does.

And it would be there for what, 12 hours or 24 hours in these enormous vats that were like 50ft long.

And the Big stirs and stuff.

It was just cool to tour the actual floor factory.

Cool.

Okay.

So you think I should do it?

All right, well, I would like to request that.

Or Chicago.

Yes, definitely do her.

It's a little safer, too.

Well, there's a direct flight to Chicago this way.

Okay.

So you think it's a good place?

Okay, cool.

Yeah, we were thinking about going to Philly and then taking this train, Amtrak, all the way up to, like, Harrisburg and then Ubering over.

But, like, I think it'd be cool to go.

And when we fly to see her people, parents, we fly into Harrisburg.

They live on the opposite side of the river now from Hershey, but, yeah, airport coach.

When we go home, we fly into Harrisburg.

I don't know if American flies in Harrisburg.

I guess.

I don't know.

Has like, 12 gates.

It's not very big.

It's called Harrodsburg or Harrisburg.

Harrisburg.

Harrisburg, which is the capital of Pennsylvania.

Does American fly?

I'm doing travel plans on the podcast here.

Fly and to Harrisburg.

I would think they do.

I think they do.

We flew Southwest for the first time in a long time.

We hadn't flown Southwest in years.

They still haven't gone to their assigned seats yet, so we had to do the cattle call thing.

Yep.

And of course, yes, American Airlines does fly into Harrisburg International Airport.

Yeah.

Good.

Cool.

All right, well, check it out.

I need the 26 off.

Check it out.

Yeah, Hershey's a great place to see a concert.

Okay, cool.

Saw Billy Joel there for the first time.

I. I think that was one of the first concerts I remember going to.

Well, you can't go see Billy Joel now unless you have a second mortgage you can take out.

Oh, really?

Is that bad?

Oh, my God.

Concerts are insane.

Is he residency now in Vegas or not?

Been a.

They shout.

The song song Allentown had just come out.

The one with the helicopter had just come out.

And they played that in the stadium, and it sounded like the helicopter was in the stadium.

They had it cranked up so loud because we were at an indoor stadium for that.

And he had.

He had, like, five pianos on different levels, and he would just jump from one piano to the other.

I mean, that was when he was younger.

He was a great show.

It was.

He put on a show.

Well, I gotta say, he was an entertainer.

You know, there's.

There's performers that are entertainers, and there's ones that are singers.

He was an entertainer.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Eva's definitely an entertainer.

All right.

That's it.

Of this nonsense.

Go to Hershey.

You gotta go.

All right.

See, everybody.

Congratulations.

You made it through another post show.

Thank you for all your support.

Now go ride your horse.
