We’re talking Luis Severino’s showcase starts, Nick Kurtz’s historic six-hit night, and whether the A’s should sell or hold. The Tigers are clinging to the top of the AL Central while the Royals are gunning for a wildcard spot. We get into who’s buying, who’s selling, and who just plain sucks right now.

Lane’s the author of Caleb’s Journey, a gritty, historically grounded frontier novel I’ve been working through lately—and it’s a hell of a read. We talked mountain men, the Mormon migration, the beef industry, and why Louis L’Amour still shows up in bunkhouses across the West. We also got into Native-settler conflicts, the myth vs. reality of the Old West, and what makes a good Western story stick.

Which U.S. president would drop the best sex tape? Yeah… we asked that. In this episode of Death of Fun, I sit down with Aaron and Cam to tackle the hard-hitting questions no other show is dumb enough to touch.

Howdy there, Daylight Burners – it’s Matt McKinley back in the saddle. This episode’s been brewing in my mind for a while, and like most of my best ideas, it wanders a bit but (hopefully) ties together pretty damn nicely. We’re diving deep into the meaning of "Uva Uvam Vivendo Varia Fit" — that strange little Latin phrase you know from Lonesome Dove — and how it ties into life, California, and the way we all change by the company we keep. From cowboys and feedlot Spanish, to the wild beauty (and sheer dysfunction) of California, to how rural and urban America are drifting further apart — I’m talking it all out, cowboy philosopher style. I also give a heads-up on some exciting things happening with the show: recording new episodes out of the historic HeyDay Inn in Smith Valley, Nevada, and a quick preview of some big interviews and events coming your way. Whether you're here for cowboy stories, fence post politics, baseball ramblings, or just some quality time burning daylight, you're in the right place. Highlights include: Breaking down Uva Uvam Vivendo Varia Fit and why bad Latin is part of the charm How living near California has changed my perspective (and why it’s still worth saving) Thoughts on rural vs. urban America, and how history shaped that divide Why Burning Daylight is branching out into new in-person interviews Big news about the HeyDay Inn becoming a new partner of the show A little rant (or two) about expensive gas, Sacramento adventures, and the A’s Sponsors: This episode is brought to you by the HeyDay Inn in Smith Valley, Nevada – proud to keep cowboy traditions (and a cold beer) alive.

TeJay shares stories from the road, insight into different rulebooks and associations, and the nuances of bronc riding technique, culture, and horsemanship. We talk about how rodeo has changed over the years, the evolution of ranch rodeos, the role of professionalism in the arena, and why the Western States Ranch Rodeo Finals might just be the proving ground for the best bronc riders in the world. 🎙️ Topics include: The evolution of ranch bronc riding from tradition to sport The unwritten “house rules” and how different associations approach the event What separates a ranch cowboy from a rodeo cowboy The role of horsemanship and authenticity in bronc riding The importance of professionalism in and out of the arena Legendary horses and what makes a “next-level” bronc Growing the sport: clinics, mentorship, and media coverage Breaking misconceptions about the sport and its future If you love cowboy history, rodeo culture, and stories from the working end of the arena, you won’t want to miss this one. 🔗 Learn more about the Western States Ranch Rodeo Association: www.wsrra.org Learn more about your ad choices.
