Welcome to Show Me The Money Club live show with Sergio and Chris Tuesdays 6pm est/3pm pst.

In this episode, I chat with the founder and managing director of WOW Saddles: David Kempsell. WoW is a revolutionary saddle brand known for its fully adjustable, modular design that supports both horse and rider through every stage of development and performance. We dive into the inspiration behind WoW, the technology that sets it apart (like carbon fiber trees, Flair air flocking, and interchangeable seats and panels) and how this system helps improve comfort, movement, and balance. I've personally ridden in WOW Saddles for over 10 years and have always appreciated their adjustability, comfort, and unique look. Saddle fit is such a personal and important part of horse welfare, and when you find something that works, it's a huge relief. This episode isn't sponsored, I simply love talking about things I genuinely use and believe in. If you're curious about saddle fitting, have a tricky horse to fit, or are tired of trialling saddles that never quite work, you'll enjoy this conversation!  

No one expected the Riders getting smoked twice in 24 hours. In the Opening Kick Off, Alex, Greg, and Steve take a hard look at the Riders first loss of the year on Saturday and go even deeper with the postponement of the game on Friday night. In the Odds and End Zones, the guys look at the best receiver in the league and some teams that have some hard decisions coming up in their bye weeks. Then in the Enemy Preview are people throwing "must win" around too soon and if not what do the Riders need to do in BC. Plus, Steve is riding the hot coin in Piffles Picks and another Remember That Guy!

A Canadian Football League game was cancelled after fans waited six hours in thick wildfire smoke—smoked sausages, indeed. We dig into why air quality is getting worse and how it's connected to climate change. Plus, surprising new research shows that diesel generators are allowed to emit 48 times more nitrogen oxides than natural gas boilers. We explore the shocking pollution double standards that exist across industries. Meanwhile, in Northeast Calgary, homeowners are struggling to get insurance due to a rise in extreme hail. Some insurance companies are pulling out entirely. What's behind this localized crisis—and why it's a warning for the rest of the country. And in Reno, Nevada, a startup has installed the world's largest second-life battery grid using hundreds of used EV battery packs. It's powering a data center and showing a viable path for battery reuse.

Set in a quiet Ontario town, this chilling tale centers on Sutton Creek Ranch, a place where horseback riding once brought joy… until the horses began acting strangely. Riders froze, animals panicked, and then—through the trees—a glowing white horse appeared, elegant and lost. But when the trail master turned pale and said, “That's the ghost horse,” everything changed. Sightings have continued for over two decades, haunting both woods and memory. Is this spirit guarding something, or simply trying to find its way home?

In this week's bite-sized-but-beefy episode, Adam and Dan dig into a fun little thought experiment: If you weren't playing your current role in your band… what would you play instead? A surprising number of bandleaders in our Patreon community dream of swapping their front-and-center duties for a backline spot—and let's be honest, we kinda get it.From the romanticized lives of bass players and drummers (spoiler: not as chill as they look) to the hard realities of load-in, leadership, and showing up late without consequence, we unpack the psychological and practical trade-offs of switching roles in your band.

Sometimes.Topics Covered:Why bandleaders fantasize about being sidemenThe great drummer delusion: is sitting down actually easier?Subbing on bass: heroic or horrifying?FOH techs as secret weapon gig ninjasHow learning other roles sharpens your primary skillsetAir drumming, finger twirls, and the dark truth of gear load-outsCall to Action:What role would you want to play if you weren't doing your current thing?

Damian Monkhorst, an Australian rider, loves twisty roads and staying off the tourist track. When an online motorcycle forum connected him with riders in the United States, including Andy Morley, he knew he wanted to experience it for himself. From the other side of the world, he made a bold move—buying a bike and having it waiting for him when he arrived. But once he got there, the adventure wasn't quite what he expected—neither the ride nor the people.

In this episode of the Cover Band Confidential podcast,  Adam and Dan dive into various categories of songs that cover band musicians commonly despise playing but perform nonetheless due to their popularity and effectiveness in live settings. They explore songs categorized as overplayed, repetitive, cheesy, cringe-worthy, too slow, and surprisingly, too difficult to play. The episode includes listener input gathered through surveys and discusses how these songs, despite being loathed by musicians, remain crowd favorites. The hosts also share personal anecdotes and insights on balancing the band's preferences with audience demands.MaestroDMX (10% off discount link): https://maestrodmx.com/discount/DISCOUNT4CBC?redirect=%2Fproducts%2FmaestrodmxBOTH Lighting 360 Tubes (Use “DISCOUNT4CBC” to save 5%): https://bothlightingusa.com/collections/all-products/products/360-tubes-copyBlank Contracts & Riders: https://www.coverbandconfidential.com/store/performance-contractsBacking Track Resources: https://www.coverbandconfidential.com/store/backing-track-resourcesThank you so much for tuning in!  If you want to help be sure to like, subscribe and share with your friends!  Linktree: linktr.ee/adampatrickjohnson                linktr.ee/coverbandconfidentialFollow us on Instagram!@coverbandconfidential@adampatrickjohnson@danraymusicianIf you have any questions please email at:Coverbandconfidential@gmail.comConsider supporting us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/coverbandconfidentialOr buy us a cup of coffee!paypal.me/cbconfidentialAnd for more info check out www.coverbandconfidential.comGear Used in this Video (Affiliate):Sony ZV-E10 Mirrorless Camera: https://amzn.to/3DBqtOyElgato Prompter: https://amzn.to/3X3IAq8 Shure SM7B: https://amzn.to/4dDCJx0 Elgato Stream Deck XL: https://amzn.to/3gKjhqiMagic Arm Camera Friction Mount: https://amzn.to/3SK5yNk

Most riders want a focused horse—but many unknowingly skip the steps required to develop it. In this episode, Stacy Westfall explores four common reasons riders don't actively teach focus, and how this omission affects connection, performance, and safety.  Key takeaways: – Some riders don't believe focus is teachable—or even possible—and assume it's just a fixed trait – Many confuse physical obedience with mental engagement, ignoring signs of distraction – “Good enough” behavior often hides a lack of real focus, which unravels under pressure – Riders frequently wait until the horse is overwhelmed before trying to teach focus—when it's too late This episode examines how small oversights in daily work can lead to bigger issues in new environments or under stress. It provides riders with the awareness to identify subtle distractions and the tools to create more mentally present, engaged horses—long before they “need it.”
