- Previously on Ride...
- There's nobody else I'd rather have living in it than you.
- Yes, yes, yes! A thousand times yes!
(Gus): You don't like the fact
that Missy and I are getting close.
- Nah, because you don't deserve her.
- She's got a feeling for you and it's pity.
(fighting grunts)
- Let's sell a rich dude on a stadium.
(chuckling) - It's not just a sport,
it's a way of life. - Is it enough?
(Missy): Did you just ride with an injury?
(grunting)
(Polly): He wanted to make sure
he got the most dangerous bull on the docket.
- He wanted to ride Hurricane?
- And I helped him to get it.
(light rhythmic music)
- I don't know, it doesn't really give us a lot of time to plan now, does it?
- We don't need a lot of time. We just need a white dress,
a great playlist, clean up the barn...
(laughing)
- I don't know if that's what my mom had in my mind
for her oldest son's wedding, you know?
- Well, her oldest son is a pro bull rider.
- What about Miss Rodeo America?
- Well, you know what?
I was already Miss Rodeo Rocky Mountain.
And I can still trick ride.
Besides, I already feel like a queen marrying you.
(both chuckling)
(phone ringing)
Hello? (Susan): Hey, Missy? It's Susan
Frontier was wondering if you'd like to come be a judge
at the Miss Rodeo Mountain County competition.
Hello?
Uh, Missy,
did I lose you?
- Oh, uh, sorry, no. Um... Thank you
for thinking of me. - Well, of course,
you're a former rodeo queen.
You're the only person we thought about.
(indistinct conversation)
(Missy): When would you need me?
- It's... tomorrow afternoon in Denver.
I know it's super last minute, but we just closed the deal
with the Miss Rodeo people.
- Uh, it's just...
I have a family obligation.
Well, it's not just family, it's a job.
- Right, right, you coach Cash. Is he riding
in the Denver Rodeo? - Hey, hey! Uh, hold on, Susan.
One sec. What did the doctor say?
- Not broke!
(sighing) - That's what the X-ray said,
but they did find something, they did an MRI
and we'll get the results tomorrow.
- Um, sorry about that. I'm back.
- I was just saying, if Cash is competing,
then we can get you there right after the pageant.
- Actually, it turns out that he might not be riding after all, so...
I'm free.
- Fantastic! We'll send a car for you.
(acoustic music)
(Cash): Ah, so you're abandoning me?
- It's two days in Denver.
Besides, it'll give you some time to start a new physio.
- Ah.
- Maybe you shouldn't be doing that.
- Cracking eggs?
Pretty sure I can handle making breakfast.
- Yeah, well...
Your brother thought he could handle a lot of things too.
- What's going on out here?
- We're just making you breakfast.
Take a seat.
- Okay, thank you. Don't mind if I do.
(clattering)
Oh, Cody! - Oh, hey, morning!
- Oh, everybody's up and at them this morning.
- Yeah, I was having lunch over Ranchman's yesterday
and heard you were gonna bring over some memorabilia,
so maybe I thought I could give you a hand with that or...?
- Oh, that's sweet.
Yeah, uh, Bulls & Beer seemed to be the perfect event
to announce the new stadium. - Yeah.
- Which... I had that box, I don't know where.
- Is that it, there? - What?
- That one? - Oh, yeah. Wait a minute.
No, this is... this is for Missy.
Well, I don't know. Kids must've misplaced it.
- Yeah. - So...
- Hey, Bel, um... - Yeah?
- You know, while I was having my lunch,
I noticed... You know, I heard some people kinda grumbling.
- Grumbling? - About the stadium.
- Okay... - You know, you get a big guy
like Booker over there and I think that's just making people nervous.
- Well, I mean, the stadium is gonna be great for Canyon.
It's gonna bring jobs, businesses...
- I know. I'm just... Just letting you know.
I didn't hear it all firsthand.
Cash is over there a lot.
He could tell you more too if you wanna hear it.
All right, well, have good meetings today.
- Yeah, well, hopefully I can pretend to know what I'm talking about.
- You're gonna do great. You always do.
(calm country music)
- Hey! - Hey.
- Where are you off to? - Uh...
Going to Denver for a couple of days for a Frontier gig.
- Oh. Uh... I think this is yours.
- Oh, thank you. I bought some stretchy bands for Cash
to help with his recovery.
- How is that going?
- Oh, shoot.
- Apparently, he's been hanging out at Ranchman's Bar.
- Who, Cash?
- Well, he's obviously not gonna be riding in Denver.
- Well, whatever we decide about Denver,
I can guarantee you that he's certainly not
drowning his sorrows at Ranchman's.
And either way, this isn't for you to worry about.
You have more than enough going on with Daniel Booker.
- Well, that's true.
It'd be a lot easier if Hank and I could talk to him over Zoom.
He's much more intimidating in person.
- Yes, well, some people are.
But don't worry, I've got this.
- Do you?
- Isabel...
I know that you're still upset at me about missing Cash's injury and...
I'm sorry that I was distracted, but...
it won't happen again, I promise.
- Something happened at JB's barbecue.
- No, nothing happened at JB's barbecue. I was just...
having a hard time being there again without Austin.
- Okay.
I mean, of course. Look, it's... it's only been a year.
We're still just discovering how to... be.
Okay.
You know, have you seen my box?
The box that has all the memorabilia
for the stadium announcement? - Yeah.
(groaning)
- You know, it's like the magician's trick
of switching boxes. (chuckling)
- I just grabbed it 'cause we're heading through Canyon anyway,
so I figured I'd take one more thing off your plate.
Maybe too many magicians in the kitchen.
- Something like that. (chuckling)
- I'll see you in a couple of days!
- Have a great trip! - Thank you!
(upbeat music)
- Hey, Missy. How's it going? - Hey!
Here you go, some stuff. - Thank you.
- Hey, have you seen Cash?
- You kidding? He's been here all week
trying to beat Austin's score.
(Missy): Cash!
(grunting) What are you doing?
(grunting) - Trying to make Denver happen!
- You can't ride with your right hand!
- Yeah, I know, but if I could beat Austin's score like this,
maybe I could ride a real bull.
- Oh. (grunts of pain)
- Oh, my God!
(grunting) Are you okay?
(laughing) That is not funny!
- Come on, it's a little funny!
- You're not even supposed to be riding at all.
You're supposed to be at home, waiting for your MRI results.
- No, doctors didn't say that. - No, I said that!
- Can you make it breakover and kick like a real bull?
- Cash, I am your coach!
Your mother is mad at me enough as it is!
I told her you were taking it easy!
- I am. I'm not riding Bullet, right?
I'm riding a bull safe enough for a bunch of girls
on their bachelorette's! It's my career, okay?
Missy, I gotta keep my momentum,
I gotta do whatever it takes to a ride in Denver.
All right? We need that sponsorship.
- You could be permanently injuring your wrist.
- Or we could permanently lose the ranch.
- You're not a hero, Cash.
This isn't brave, this is stupid!
We're... You're chasing Austin's score, it's not even real!
- Looks pretty great on that plaque, though.
- Austin cheated.
- Huh?
But Polly said that-- - Not on me.
He cheated at bull riding. He rigged the system,
so that he would draw the hardest bull, Hurricane,
so that he would get as many points as he could.
That's what he did to keep his momentum.
And I'm not gonna standby and watch you do the same thing.
- Missy, drawing a harder bull, it's not exactly--
- It's doing whatever it takes to win.
And it killed him, Cash! (sighing)
What, do you wanna end up like Austin?
(scoffing) - Missy, come on. - No, no.
You know, if you're not gonna take this seriously, I'm out.
Isabel was right.
Find yourself a new coach. I quit.
(theme song)
- Hank, you brought the budget? - Yes, sir.
My office printed everything out.
Everyone's really excited.
- This is...
There's definitely a lot of buzz.
- Okay, so first order of business is to sign off
on these numbers, so we can start on the initial hires.
- Oh, we need to sign the budget today?
- Well, it's basically a formality
since you're a non-executive board member.
- Well, no, I'm... I'm a partner.
- Of course. That just means that since you're not actually
putting any money in... - Well, I put my name in
and that's giving this whole thing legitimacy.
Not to mention, a truckload of invaluable rodeo memorabilia.
- Isabel, of course. Of course.
Look, this is just a preliminary budget. Okay?
Now, if you take a look,
you'll see that Masi & Masi is a tentative yes.
But until we lock them down...
- I remember that name.
Was it line 42?
- 42? - 42... Okay, wait a minute.
Oh, yes, here it is. Okay.
$75,000.
I may have put a question mark.
(chuckling) - Look, guys.
This isn't some small farming enterprise, okay?
Masi & Masi is one of the most renowned PR firms in the country.
(cellphone notification) - Well, PR's never bad.
- Exactly. I'm sorry, are we keeping you from something?
- Uh, no. No, no. Just um...
I'm waiting for some results for my son.
Uh, so, you were saying, PR.
- PR allows us to draw the best of the best
for every aspect of this endeavour.
- Okay, well, what about locals? Hank?
(sighing) - And what about locals?
- Well, I'd like to ask local businesses to join.
I mean, I don't think that would make it a little farm enterprise.
- Hey! - Hey!
Missy's not here, is she?
- Uh, no. She went to Denver. Did she not tell you?
- Uh, no, yeah, she did. I just...
Pretty sure she's not too thrilled with me.
- Mm, what else is new?
You wanna come help me with this?
- Yeah.
Hey, I'm not crazy to think
I can practise on a mechanical bull, am I?
- You're asking me to get in the middle of you two?
- No, I just...
I wanna know if...
- If you're right and she's wrong?
(car honking)
Hello! (chuckling)
- Here we go. (laughing)
- Hello, Cash. - Janine.
- Hi, Val. - Hi, Janine.
I'm gonna be right back. - Yep.
- I figured I'd stop by and bring you...
these!
- Wow! - Right?
(laughing)
- Thank you! You know, I'm... I'm hoping it's nothing.
(chuckling)
- I mean, don't say that.
An athlete like you, any injury's a big deal.
What did you bring Cash?
- Oh, nothing. No, no, this is from his coach.
- So, I hear you've been practising
for Ranchman's Bulls & Beer.
- Uh, yeah, a little bit. - And Tuff's band's playing?
- Yeah, they are. - Mm, okay.
Well, I can see your legs are still working.
Why don't you save me a dance? - Uh...
(phone vibrating) - Save me one too?
- Sure. - Two dances!
(laughing) - Excuse me.
Hello? This is Cash.
- Is that the MRI results?
- Ooh, my god. That's like breaking news.
- I hope not.
(country music)
- Hello, Tuff! - Janine.
- What time are you going on tomorrow?
- Look, I don't know if Cash is gonna be there tomorrow,
if that's what you're really asking.
- It's not what I'm asking.
- But it is what you wanna know.
Don't pretend you're suddenly taking an interest
in our band's music. (chuckling)
- Not pretending anything.
I don't always have an agenda, you know?
(scoffing) Okay, wow!
What a lack of confidence in your own music.
Oh, and PS, I already know at what time Cash is getting there.
- I'm not "not confident".
I've just got chores to get done before rehearsal.
So if there's nothing else I can do for you.
- Okay, wait, Tuff.
(Coop): Hey, Tuff, I got that.
- Thanks, Coop.
- Fine. Maybe I did show up here with a bit of an agenda.
- Hmm? - Look, tomorrow's an important day for Canyon.
Our parents are announcing the stadium
and I was thinking it could be fun for the band
to add a little something...
or maybe someone special?
- You wanna perform with us?
- It's my dad's thing too. It'd mean a lot to him.
(Julian): Tuff, hey! Ready to grab the gear?
- Hello! - Hey.
- Julian, Janine Hickson.
- Hi, Janine. Nice to meet you.
- Pleasure.
- She's gonna be singing with the Relics tomorrow.
- Wait, really?
Tuff, are you serious?
(squealing) Gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!
Okay, you are not gonna regret this!
I'm thinking I do a little Dolly,
and then, some Shania, finish with some Taylor!
- The set is set.
It's two cover songs. Rehearsal's in a few hours.
- Okay.
- Don't ask.
(chuckling)
(light music)
(indistinct chattering)
- Thank you.
Hey! - Hey! The queen has arrived!
How was the trip? Was the car okay?
- Oh, it was... it was great! - Good.
- It's nice to get out of town for a couple of days.
You know, spend some time with these young women.
Maybe inspire a trick rider or two.
- Mm-hmm! Did you bring your sash?
- Of course. - Such a pro.
All right, we've got backstage passes for you.
Did you need any tickets to the show
or would you like any family members to come?
- Uh, no, no. I'm okay. Thank you.
- Are you sure?
We're happy to comp as many as you'd like.
- Uh, actually...
Sure, yeah! I'll take a couple of tickets.
- All right, consider it done, Miss Rodeo Rocky Mountain.
I'll be right back. - Thank you.
(Isabel): Line 112, "consultants". What consultants?
(Daniel): Every project of this scale has consultants.
- Hmm. And those are the same consultants that told you
to cut employee benefits?
- Bel, he's just trying to pencil things out.
(sighing) - Look, this stadium was a dream of Dusty's,
there's no pencilling out or-- (laughing)
- Are you serious? (cellphone vibrating)
I'm sorry, but this is a business, okay?
It's not-- Of course. - Hi, Cash?
Yeah, hang on one second.
Look, I've been running this ranch for decades,
all while going to doctors' appointments,
teachers' conferences, rodeo competitions,
so just don't tell me I don't know how to multitask.
- Isabel, he wasn't-- - Look,
I have to take this call. It's my son.
- Aren't her sons in their 20s?
- I'm still their mama.
Hi.
- Are you...? (sighing)
(Isabel): Well.
I like the colour.
- Yeah. Doctor said it was probably already broken
the night before I rode, so...
- It's supposed to make me feel better?
- Oh, I don't know.
Just, you know, me riding for... (sniffling)
Daniel Booker didn't make it worse.
So, now you got your... you got your stadium.
This comes off in four weeks,
so if you could tell me how bad I screwed up, you know--
- No, I'm not. - I'd be all right with that.
- I'm not. But, look, Cash.
Even when it comes off,
your riding hand is still gonna be weak.
- Yeah, I'll ride even harder.
- But if it's not recovered in time for Cheyenne,
that's okay. - Cheyenne? What?
No, I'm getting ready for Denver.
- No, no, no, no! - Yeah!
- You're not riding in Denver! - What about the sponsorship?
You said yourself we're barely hanging on.
- No, no. Missy has the brand ambassadorship,
we're using the barn as a venue--
- Yeah, for the BRL, to further my riding career!
- Why are you pressuring yourself?
- I'm not! I just find it very frustrating when
the people I love constantly doubt my decisions.
I'm not a child anymore, Mom!
- I know that.
- I have to ride! - This is what I'm telling you.
You don't need to ride. We don't need you to ride!
- I don't know how to be okay.
(sentimental music)
You don't know what I saw over there, Mom.
It's...
I saw people die, I saw people...
(sighing) ...better than me. People with families.
I... I gotta do something.
- It'll always be hard for me
to trust that you riding bulls...
will be okay.
- Is that what you told Missy?
Huh? That's why she's not gonna be my coach anymore?
- Wha... what?
- Yeah, she told me, "Isabel's right" and then she quit.
- Wha... She quit?
(sighing)
(Missy): So, Anna, tell me about an issue that you feel strongly about.
- I feel strongly that we need to come up with regulations
to protect horses and the land across the state.
- Great. And um, what kind of regulations
would you like to implement?
- Um...
Like bills... and laws.
We could post on social media.
And write our senators. (chuckling)
- Great. Thank you, Anna.
- Yeah.
- Hey. - Hi!
- I'm Georgi. Uh... Georgia.
(chuckling)
- Well, it's nice to meet you, Georgia.
We're just gonna do a few interview-style questions.
So, you've been crowned,
you go on to win Miss Rodeo Rocky Mountain,
and then, it's five years later. Where do you see yourself?
- I've always wanted to open my own equine therapy centre.
I've had so much anxiety and horses have really helped me.
- I get that.
Horses have helped me a lot too.
- I really wanna help other young people
who are struggling too.
I never could've imagined I would be able to put myself
out there enough to be in this competition.
I know it sounds corny, but...
I wouldn't be here without my horses.
Or my coach.
- Go! Go!
- I can't! - Yes, you can!
- The competition's in two days and my foot keeps slipping!
(groaning)
(sighing) - I want you to do it again.
Tune everything out.
You got this. Go.
(sighing)
There's my girl! Yeah!
There she is! - Whoo!
(laughing)
(Susan): Missy!
- Oh, uh, thank you, Georgia. It was nice talking to you.
- So, what do you think of this pool of contestants?
Super impressive, right?
- Oh, yeah. Georgia, who I was just talking to,
is so authentic and passionate.
And her mounts and dismounts were really impressive.
- Have you talked to Annie yet?
That's who we're hoping will win.
- Uh, yeah.
Yeah, I just did.
- Yeah, she has a great look and a big following on socials.
So maybe you have another look?
Thank you.
(soft country music)
(chuckling)
- It's broken!
- Yeah.
(sighing): I'm so sorry, dude.
- Yeah. Me too.
- So, Denver?
(sighing)
Yeah, I get why you're conflicted.
- Thank you.
Seriously, you're the only one who doesn't make me feel
like a complete idiot for even contemplating riding
with an injury.
(sighing)
My mom and Missy are like, "Absolutely not!"
(giggling)
But...
- But Austin wouldn't have missed it.
- Yeah.
But I'm not Austin.
- No. No, you are not.
This arm still works, though. - Ow.
(laughing) It still feels, too.
(bright acoustic music)
- Am I interrupting important rodeo queen business?
- No, not at all. What's up?
- Uh, I'm calling about Cash.
- Yeah, did he get his results back? Is it broken?
- Yeah, hairline fracture.
- Oh. Well, at least, he'll heal quickly.
- Missy, he's... he's really struggling.
- Look, Val, I really appreciate you calling and checking in,
but I don't really wanna talk about Cash right now.
I'm enjoying myself and remembering my time in the ring.
And I'm having dinner with Gus tonight.
- Oh! - Missy!
- Okay, I gotta go. Bye!
- Come, get in the picture.
- Come on.
(chuckling)
- All right. Everybody, say, "Yee-haw!"
(all): Yee-haw!
(rock country music)
- All right, you guys.
Take five and talk through that muddy section, all right?
- Tuff, I really like this other song.
We should play this. Where did you find it?
- Uh, that was... on my feed.
Instagram or... TikTok or something.
- Wow. The talent out there is incredible.
- Wait, you really like it?
- Yeah. I mean, this lyric, "I've been good so long",
it's a bit vague, and what could you possibly be good so long for, you know?
- I feel like he's trying to express how he feels,
like he always gotta be good for other people.
How he's always holding everything together
with all the chaos around and like, he's always responsible.
I imagine.
- TikTok, huh?
- Right.
- Sure.
(jazz lounge music)
- A little something. - What?
- For you and Sophie.
- Wow! Backstage passes?
- Perks of the job! And they're crowning the winner tomorrow.
- Well, I'm glad I asked you to dinner tonight.
(chuckling) Seriously, Sophie's gonna flip.
This is really thoughtful of you.
- You know, I'm really enjoying being around it again.
You know, all these young women working on their riding skills
in the ring, it just...
it really brings me back.
(laughing)
Cheers to that.
(soft music)
(laughing) (indistinct chatter)
- Now you wanna go?
Three seconds! - Sorry!
- Make up your mind. Jeez. (laughing)
Oh, here you go.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
That's for you. - Thank you!
- Well, I try to be a gentleman. (laughing)
Uh, you know, as far as first dates go, this was not awkward.
- Yeah. No, um, thank you again for dinner.
- Yeah, yeah. I um... I had a really nice time.
(**)
- I will uh... see you at the pageant.
(girl): Oh, look! There she is.
(girls): Hi! Hi, Missy. Hi, Missy!
(surprised sigh)
- You quit?
I know I have been tough with you.
- Well, you always have been.
I remember when you were my coach.
Now you're coaching me coach Cash.
- Oh, yeah. You're right. You're right and that is not fair.
I owe you an apology.
Missy, you are a great coach.
No one has a better instinct for this than you.
He needs you.
(soft acoustic music)
- You know, being here, it's made me think and...
I wanted so much more for myself.
Austin just became my whole world. And...
- You compromised a lot. For him.
- I didn't know what it meant to be putting...
myself second.
And now, I'm here "judging" this pageant
when the vote's already in. (scoffing)
- What? What do you mean?
- Well, Frontier has their winner all picked out.
But I really like this other contestant.
- Well, I mean...
Seems like that's an easy call.
- Yeah, except I have ruffled their feathers more than enough.
- So what? Sounds like they need their feathers ruffled.
(chuckling)
Look, Missy. If...
If it turns out that you don't wanna coach Cash,
I... I will get over it. I will.
Because you need to do what you feel is right.
Whatever's going on,
I want you to know that I still see the same fearless,
gutsy young woman that I trained to ride.
(deep sigh)
What else? What is it?
- Nothing.
No, nothing. Honestly, I'm just... tired.
You must be tired too.
They gave me a suite.
Come on. Not gonna let you drive home.
Might as well get a drink. (chuckling)
It's on Frontier!
(horses neighing)
- Denver? What are you doing in Denver?
- Well, I'll be back in a few hours.
- Bel, we gotta figure out our announcement.
I mean, who's gonna say what? - No, listen, no.
Hank, people know about the stadium. They're worried.
- They're worried? About what?
- Of being taken over by some giant corporation.
- Oh, Bel. You should've said something at the meeting.
- Yeah, you're right.
Maybe I was a little distracted. - Look, Daniel Booker,
he knows how to run something this big.
- But what if he decides to outsource everybody?
- Those big companies, they do have the infrastructure,
they can outbid the locals. - Yeah, exactly.
Maybe that should be your announcement.
- It-- - I'll see you in a little while.
- Hey. - Hey.
Hi, hi, hi, hi. - Hi.
- Wow, look at this! So, which one is your girl?
- Right there, in the blue.
- Oh, wow. - Mm-hmm.
Hey, um...
Do you think I won, you know, fair and square?
- Absolutely. Don't... You were by far the best that year.
- Yeah? - Yeah. And I...
I'm a tough critic. (chuckling): Believe me, I know.
- Ready for game day?
- Uh Susan, you remember my mother-in-law, Isabel.
- Good to see you. - Of course.
I always love getting to see McMurrays.
I just saw Cash last week. - Susan was at JB's barbecue.
- Yeah, sounds like Cash is gonna be a star too.
Speaking of stars, Missy,
you should head to the final huddle with the judges.
- Oh, for sure! Okay, I'll see you back in Canyon. - Bye, you got this.
- Thanks. Drive safe. - Yeah, okay.
- Okay, yeah. Okay. - Uh, Susan?
I keep hearing about this barbecue...
Let me... let me just ask you.
Did Missy seem okay to you?
- There was a woman from the PRRO who might have set her off.
Maybe she was critical of Austin's riding.
I don't know exactly. - Wha... What woman?
(country music)
(clicking tongue)
(horse grunting)
- Hey. - Hey.
- How was Denver?
- Uh...
I think I figured out what's been going on with Missy.
There was a strange woman at JB's barbecue.
She and Missy had some kind of bad interaction.
(sighing) Which explains a lot,
why she's been distracted and angry,
It's just not like her-- - Mom, that isn't it.
(crowd cheering)
(host): Second runner-up,
Miss Rodeo Castlerock, Riley Sullivan!
(applause)
- Who are you rooting for?
- I like all of them.
Their dresses are all so sparkly!
(Missy): Yeah! - And they all know so much about horses.
- Yes, they do!
Here. They have all worked so hard and now,
now you look just like one of them!
- Look at that! Hey! - Whoo!
(laughing) - Nice!
Listen, Missy-- - Can I... What's this?
- Uh, one sec. - Thank you.
- Um, those are my scores.
- I thought we were clear. - No, you were clear.
As a former Miss Rodeo, I realize that for these women,
it is so much more than just some photo on a website.
(sighing) - Well now, I have to explain this to my staff.
(host): The runner-up for Miss Rodeo Mountain County is...
Miss Rodeo Edgewater, Anna Matz!
(cheering, applause)
(chuckling)
- Whoo!
- And going on to compete in Miss Rodeo Rocky Mountain.
Congratulations to Miss Rodeo Aurora, Georgia Turk!
(crowd cheering)
- Whoo!
(whistling, cheering)
(country music)
(indistinct chattering)
- Yeah. Hi.
Cody, hey. - Hey.
- Wow, uh, is it me or is everybody kinda looking my way?
- Well, I don't think they're gonna settle
until they hear from you. But you're gonna do fine.
- You don't know what I'm gonna say.
I don't even know what I'm gonna say.
- Well, we're gonna find out soon enough, aren't we?
Oh, Hank, he was looking for you.
- Oh, uh...
- I don't know, just say it's from TikTok!
- But why? It's your song!
And it's actually pretty good.
- Janine, just stop. - Oh, but Tuff!
- Hey, could we just have a minute, please?
- Fine. You can have a minute.
Meanwhile, I'll be practising your song!
- Shh!
- I know you think it's easier singing covers,
someone else's song, but-- - Julian, it's just...
It's so much about me. - And you have something to say.
Tuff, come on, just... (Hank): Hey there, folks!
Can I have your attention, please?
(crowd cheering) (laughing)
Well, folks, I know that we're all here tonight
to see if anybody can break the great Austin McMurray score here.
(crowd cheering) But listen, my partner,
Isabel McMurray and I... - Hi, everyone.
- ...we thought that this would be the perfect venue to announce
that we've just closed the initial deal
on a brand new rodeo stadium right here in Canyon.
- Yeah, with Daniel Booker!
(crowd agreeing, booing)
- Well, no. Mr. Booker, he's a... he's a financier--
(man): This happened to my cousin's town!
It's one big strip mall now.
(crowd reacting)
- No! No, no, no, no, no!
Folks, we're just in the preliminary stages.
Nothing's been decided yet.
(crowd booing)
Hey, folks! This stadium is gonna be good for this town.
(crowd reacting) - Hank...
(nervous laughter) Hank, let me just...
Hey, there. How are you all doing tonight? All right?
Uh...
My husband Dusty,
he had this dream for a stadium, and not to make anybody rich,
but because he knew it would bring people together.
Like tonight, we're here, we're celebrating the spirit
of competition and rodeo.
We're gonna see who's gonna beat
Austin's 32-second ride on the bull.
Look, you know, uh...
When I lost him, and my husband Dusty,
it was this community, you all, who took care of me.
(crowd agreeing)
Because that is what family does.
And I know, I know that this stadium is a big idea
with a lot of big people involved, but come on!
We all know Canyon's not for sale.
(crowd cheering in agreement)
So, I promise you that this will be a partnership with you.
And I am asking for your trust.
And look... (chuckling)
If you're not happy with any decision,
then you all know where I live.
(crowd laughing, cheering)
All right, let's have some fun tonight!
Drink up and get on that bull!
(crowd cheering)
(country music)
- Huh. So, it is a night to celebrate the spirit of competition.
- I forgot this was on.
- How was the pageant?
- Oh, it was good.
- Yeah? - Mm-hmm.
- So, I decided what I'm gonna do. About Denver.
- Cash-- - I e-mailed JB,
I told him about my wrist,
I told him I'm not gonna ride tomorrow.
- That was honest.
- I've been using the stretchy bands.
Running lots. I feel stronger every day.
I'm not gonna be like Austin.
You know, I ride for a lot more reasons than winning
and sponsorships, you know?
I love it.
And I wanna do it for a long, long time,
surrounded by people I care about and I...
I want you to be my coach.
(Fred): All right, Canyonites!
It's that time you've been waiting for!
(crowd cheering) (Fred laughing)
Now, let me remind you,
the winner gets their name on that plaque.
(clearing throat) - Let me guess.
You wanna enter? (sucking air through teeth)
- Only if my coach thinks it's okay.
- Yeah, well, you do have a hard cast,
so as long as you don't mix up your left and right,
you'll be okay. (laughing)
Good luck!
(country music)
(crowd shouting)
- Aw! That's okay, Andy!
20 seconds, that's a solid ride!
Who's next?
- Yeah, I'll take a shot at it!
(crowd cheering)
- Just a heads up.
Cash is gonna be riding with his right hand.
- Well, if it's okay with his coach,
then it is okay with me.
- Come on! Come on! (laughing)
Come on, yeah! (grunting)
- Whoo! That's it! That's it!
- Good evening, all you beautiful Bulls & Beer fans!
We are your resident rodeo cover band,
the Dirt Road Relics!
(crowd shouting)
Yeah!
And we also have a special guest with us tonight.
You know her well, she'll give you hell,
please welcome Janine Hickson to the stage!
(crowd cheering)
(laughing)
(Janine): Hello!
- Now, we are so excited to-- - So excited.
- ...have you all celebrating with us here tonight.
- Especially our parents!
- All of our families, and my big brother Cash
who's on that big bad bull with his big blue cast.
(Janine): You go, Cash!
- This first song is actually a cover
from some other brothers.
One, two, three, four!
(crowd cheering)
- Go, Cash!

(laughing) Thank you. Cheers!

- Hey, Missy.
Cash told me about Austin and Hurricane.
(sentimental music)
- Uh...
(sighing)
- I didn't know how to tell you.
- It's just... Why did he need to win so badly?
- I don't know.
(country music playing)
- Woo-hoo! (laughing)
(cheering)
- Yeah, Tuff! - Yeah! Whoo!
(laughing)
- Before we get set up for this next song,
I should tell you...
it's an original that I wrote for my family.
(applause)
I hope you enjoy it.
(country music playing)
* I've got a feeling *
* This could be the year *
* I'm gonna get what I wish for *

- They do sound good. - Yeah.
* I've been good so long *
* And if I've got it wrong *
* There's always next year *
* I'll be strong, till you come home *
- Hey. - Hey!
Uh, thought I'd come celebrate in person that your girl won.
And I never got to apologize about last night.
If I made you uncomfortable--
- Oh, no, no, no. No. (chuckling)
I'm...
I'm the one who's been sending mixed signals.
* We all get what we long for *
* This feeling can't be wrong *
Oh, no. Don't worry about it, really.
- I totally get it. I just um...
I just want you to know that I'll be here. When you're ready.
- I'm ready.
* We've been waiting so long *
(Fred): Anybody else wanna jump into the ring
before we call it on our Annual Bulls & Beer Night?
- I do! (laughing)
(crowd cheering)
* Till we get home *
* Where we belong *
- Missy! (laughing)
* I've got a feeling *
(Missy exclaiming)
(crowd cheering)
* I've been good so long **
(laughing) (crowd chanting): Missy! Missy!
- Whoo! (crowd chanting): Missy! Missy!
(cheering)
