Strap yourself in, turn off the ringer, pull your hat down and get ready for one of the most entertaining episodes of FRX to date. Pickup Man and Cowboy Cook, Joe Blankenship sits down with Micah to share some stories of growing up in the pickup man world, moving to Pendleton, Valentines Day and showing that Cowboys can cook! Joe got a late start in rodeo, not attending one until he was two weeks old and he quickly made an impact...with his head, on a car, when he was four, earning him the nickname of Knothead Copenhagen. Joe's first time as Pickup "Man" was at a ranch rodeo in Malta, MT when he was in the 4th grade, and that started it all. He has plied his craft all around the west, at some of the most prestigious events, and continues to do so today. Along his journey, he has met some true characters, and had some amazing horses and some of those stories come out in this episode; including a dandy poem about a rodeo legend! Joe has also started a Facebook Group with his son Boone called Cowboys Can Cook and shares how that come to be and teases us with Old Dad's biscuit recipe. If you don't know Joe, this is a great way to meet him. If you do, there is a good chance, you will hear a story you hadn't heard before! And whatever you do, don't leave him unattended when you head to dinner for Valentines day!
