Pig Rodeo and Racing Fiascos

Ep. 257

In this episode, we sit down with the real deal—our guest shares a wild story of pig riding, racetrack chaos, and family antics. The real deal comes from a legacy of jockeys, but you won't believe the antics he's gotten up to outside the track. From riding a pig in the early hours of the morning (and holding on for dear life) to getting pelted with a rogue horse while his brother tried to pull off the ultimate racing gamble, this episode is full of high-speed action and some hilarious moments. We talk about the gritty side of racing, living up to family expectations, and, of course, the lengths he'll go to for a good laugh. Get ready for some crazy stories and a bit of mischief along the way!
