Description

Our childhood dreams of being cowboys to humorous anecdotes about fireworks mishaps and close encounters with law enforcement. We share stories about life in Palm Springs, rodeo experiences, and unusual thefts, including the intriguing world of bull semen and honey bee hive theft. The discussion also touches on aging, personal reflections, and pop culture references, culminating in a light-hearted exchange about music recommendations.
