From open shows in southeast Oklahoma to two IPRA world titles and a run at the NFR, Marilyn Duplissey built a life around good horses, hard lessons, and a tougher business plan. In this final chapter, Marilyn takes us through 1976 in Tulsa, the decision to buy her WPRA card, and the unforgettable partnership with Dan—the gritty, honest gelding her friends voted “most heart” at the NFR.We dig into futurities (time, money, and why they can feel like “doing time”), soundness and shoeing, equine dentistry, splints, banamine, and why the best riders listen when a horse says, “Take me to the vet.” Marilyn also opens the gate on the racehorse years—claiming, purses, trainers, HISA, and the thrill of a dead-last closer flying up the lane. Then we close with what came next: a classroom, a different kind of teaching, and a simple truth—dreams change, but the horse still teaches. Because in rodeo and in life, these stories matter.#BeyondTheChutes #MarilynDuplissey #MikeDuplissey #DanTheHorse #BarrelRacing #WPRA #IPRA #NFR #RodeoLegends #WomenOfRodeo #Futurity #QuarterHorses #Racehorses #HorseHealth #EquineDentistry #OklahomaRodeo #LouisianaCowgirl #TheseStoriesMatter #inourroots

Can crops change the weather? We've done the myth busting, learn the truth. Plus, PRCA standings heat up - we talk Rodeo, share how a rancher raises Old Glory sky-high, and fishing records are about to be broken again! Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Season 5, Episode 253 Can Crops Affect the Weather? Chief Meteorologist Kenny Miller Explains When it comes to agriculture, we usually think about how weather affects crops — but what if the reverse is true? Can crops actually influence the weather? According to KX News Chief Meteorologist Kenny Miller, who has extensive experience in forecasting for agriculture and commodity trading, the answer is yes — in certain ways. “Large-scale crops can change local climate conditions through evapotranspiration,” says Miller. “That's the process where plants release moisture back into the atmosphere, which can lead to cooler temperatures and increased local humidity.” This matters not only for farmers, but also for agriculture professionals and commodity traders who rely on precise, short-term forecasts during critical planting and harvest windows. Kenny emphasizes that the impact is regional, not global — but in key ag zones, it can shape everything from yield timing to market behavior. PRCA Standings: Countdown to the 2025 Wrangler NFR As we approach the PRCA regular season deadline on September 30, 2025, the tension is building across the rodeo world. Cowboys and cowgirls across the country are laser-focused on making the Top 15 in their events to qualify for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR) this December. Current PRCA Standings Here are the PRCA Rankings & Standings as of September 2, 2025. Stetson Wright, Beaver, Utah: All-Around Earnings: $391,000 plus. After the 8x World Champion sustained injuries at the 2023 NFR, sidelined during the 2024 rodeo season, he has made a runaway comeback for the coveted 2025 Wrangler NFR All-Around Champion. Events: #1 in Bull Riding, #9 in Saddle Bronc. Rocker Steiner, Weatherford, TX: World bareback riding leader with $243,000 plus with the closest contender being Bradlee Miller of Huntsville, TX and Jess Pope of Waverly, KS riding neck in neck with just a $1,000 year earnings in difference fighting for that 2nd place title. Ryder Wright, Beaver Utah: Saddle Bronc Earnings: $273,000 plus. Saddle Bronc this year is a tighter event. The top 12 in the world fighting for their seat in the winners circle have all earned well over $150,000… This includes well known names such as Damian Brennen in 2nd with Dawson Hay right behind, Brody Wells, and Zeke Thurston all over $200,000 in 2025 earnings. Following not far behind are Ryder Wright's brothers…  Statler Wright sitting in 6th, and Stetson Wright in 9th.

Tanner Tomlinson, Mineral Wells, Texas is the current world leader Team Roping Header with $153,000 plus, however it's a TIGHT race as a household favorite here Derrick Begay of Arizona is just $3,000 behind in earnings. Remember last year during the 2024 Wrangler NFR when Derrick Begay borrowed his well-known mule, John Henry, to saddle bronc favorite Zeke Thurston to ride in the first two Grand Entry parades! Levi Lord, Sturgis, South Dakota is the current world leader Team Roping Heeler with $155,000 plus. This 4x NFR qualifier is making sure the world knows there's more to Sturgis, South Dakota than just a HUGE motorcycle rally. Riley Webb, Denton, Texas is the current world leader Tie-Down Roping with $264,000 in earnings. Not a bad place to be after 2024 being his WNFR debut. Chasing him is 6x qualifier Shad Mayfield sitting with over $237,000. Cole Patterson, Pawnee, OK is currently leading world standings in Steer Roping with over $92,000.

But not Darcel Hulse. At 78 years old, the rancher grabbed his gear, called a crane, and went straight up to fix it himself. That's because flying the American flag isn't just tradition on his Salt River Ranch — it's a statement. Hulse proudly flies a 1,500-square-foot flag from the highest point on his property, and when it needed replacing, he wasn't about to sit it out. Recently in a Cowboy State Daily interview, Darcel Hulce joked, 'I'm an old guy, but I'm not afraid of heights.” And judging by the 1.4 million views on his daughter's video of the flag-raising, the country loves him for it. The massive flag — 50 by 30 feet — has become a beloved landmark in Star Valley. Locals call it “our flag,” and when it was temporarily down, the phones lit up. Everyone wanted to know when Old Glory would be back. For Hulse, raising that flag is about more than patriotism. It's about values, family, and returning to his Western roots. And while he hopes that new rope holds strong for a while — you can bet that if it doesn't, he'll be right back up there making sure that star-spangled banner keeps waving high.

These fast-growing ornamentals were once a garden favorite, but they've turned into a serious threat to Alaska's natural landscape. The ban — now statewide — blocks the import, transport, or sale of these trees, which have overrun native birch and spruce forests, especially around Anchorage and Fairbanks. They may look pretty, but they're wreaking havoc under the surface. Their berries? Toxic to moose. Their roots? So tough, new trees grow right out of the stumps. And now, they're even spreading a nasty fungal disease known as Black Knot. Not exactly the kind of greenery you want in your backyard. The good news? Officials are working hard to remove them and replace them with native trees, and this new ban is a big step forward. As Division of Agriculture Director Bryan Scoresby puts it: ‘With this quarantine, the flow of trees into Alaska will stop, making the goal of elimination more attainable.' So next time you're planting something new, remember — going native helps keep eco-systems wild, balanced, and beautiful. Check your state on plants that have landed on the Noxious or Invasive list by reaching out to your local extension agent.

The catch happened in the early morning hours of August 15, after the crew set out from Orange Beach Marina aboard the Trade Desk. Originally aiming for marlin, the six-man crew fished near deep-water oil rigs, dropping a squid bait setup hundreds of feet down overnight. Around 4 a.m., Robert noticed the reel clicking and jumped into the fighting chair for what became a four-and-a-half-hour battle. The swordfish fought hard and deep before finally surfacing—stunning the crew with its dinosaur-like appearance. Once landed, the fish was so big it filled the entire deck, forcing the crew to end their trip early. The swordfish measured 150 inches long with a 62-inch girth and is expected to break Alabama's current record of 448 pounds, pending official approval. Now my question is - Where does one find the wall space to hang a mount that big?!

“The first time I entered here I was 18 years old…I'd always heard about the Pendleton Roundup, it's just iconic. I was driving in thinking, I've made it, you know, I've made it” “You can name any sport, basketball, football, whatever. [Rodeo] just isn't that way. These events started and evolved from ranching. They've molded it into a sport, and that's just outta cowboy try. I have a ranch, Pat has a ranch, and for the people that watch ‘Yellowstone', that's a lot like his place.” Welcome back to Pendleton, Oregon, home of the world-famous Roundup that we covered in a previous episode. While saddle broncs bucked and thousands cheered outside, we snuck into a storage room for kegs and liquor to interview two absolute legends in rodeo. Butch Knowles of the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame, 1988 Olympics USA Gold Medal Team, who spent decades broadcasting with the NFR. And Pat Nogle, a bulldogging champion with a collection of medals and records that stand to this day. The conversation was full of bawdy tales and laughter, but also deep introspection on what western culture means to actual ranchers like them, and also to the 50,000 fans that come to Pendleton every September.  LET ‘ER BUCK!

We're taking you back to one of the most real and unfiltered conversations we've ever had. Five-time NFR bronc rider Rusty Wright and breakaway roper Haley Sage sat down with us in Fallon, Nevada, for a conversation that goes far beyond arena stats and gold buckles.Rusty opens up about walking through life's deepest valleys—loss, drinking, divorce, and self-doubt—and what it took to climb out. He shares the story behind Hell and Back, the Cowboy Channel documentary he almost didn't film, and the unexpected healing that came from letting the world see behind the curtain.Haley brings her own powerful perspective—on rebuilding a life brick by brick, loving Rusty for who he is (not what he's won), and finding the good even in the hardest moments. Together, they talk about real friendship, mental health in rodeo, and learning to love yourself before chasing any buckle.This episode is raw, inspiring, and relatable for anyone who's ever had to get back in the saddle after life knocked them flat.

In this replay episode of In The LOOP, we sit down with 2024 National Finals Barrel Racing Aggregate Champion Andrea Busby for one of the most honest and inspiring conversations we've had yet. This episode originally aired earlier this season, but it's one we believe is worth hearing again.From early rodeo days to finally crossing the Thomas & Mack threshold, Andrea brings us through every twist, turn, and tough lesson along the way. We talk about what it truly took for her to make her first NFR — and why the timing couldn't have been better. Andrea opens up about her journey through horse injuries, mental fatigue, and rebuilding her confidence mid-season. She shares the impact of mentors like Brittany Pozzi-Tonozzi and Sue Smith, and how their guidance helped her grow both as a horsewoman and as a competitor.This episode digs into the gritty realities of rodeo life — from engine failures and barrier mistakes to the pressure of placing when every dollar counts. We reflect on her placing in 9 out of 10 NFR rounds, winning the average, and doing it all with grace, grit, and deep faith.Andrea reminds us that success isn't about a single run — it's about the thousands of miles, hard days, and quiet victories that lead you there. Her story is powerful, relatable, and full of the kind of wisdom we all need to hear.In The LOOP Podcast hosted by Jordan Jo Hollabaugh, is inspired by the western culture and breakaway roping lifestyle.
