• 1:56
  Speaker 2: off of. You know, we're all we're all adrenaline junkies.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: But the best feeling about it, or does it gives
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: it feeling like you just conquered the world.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: You know what's funny is that I actually knew somebody
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: who was a rodeo clown for bull riders and uh,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and he would tell me that it was, Yeah, the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: adrenaline rush. It lasted for hours, especially once you get
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: off the bull and then the bull starts chasing you.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Has that ever happened to you? Oh?
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man, for sure. Uh, there's all the possibility of
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: it happened every time you get off the one. So
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: the most anglous part ain't the riding part. That's getting
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: off part.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, we're talking with Marcus Masdier, who's the twenty
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: twenty five Pilton Whiskey Velocity Tour Champion, And we'll be

• 2:39
  Speaker 1: first and May second. Now, of course, you know, of course,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: of all bull riders, and probably you can go into detail,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of bull riders get injured.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: So I mean, what's the worst that's happened to you?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, i'd probably three years ago. I guess I don't
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: know for sure which one was worse. I know which
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: one lasted longer. It took longer to recover from. But
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I got stepped on on the side of my throat
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: neck area and got my throat gripped open. Fortunately that
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: only took a month to recover from that. But two months,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: two months, two days late after that accident, landed wrong
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: and broke my lower back and that took me eight
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: months to come back from that.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: And you still do it? What What have you ever
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: thought like after this? You are, after a major injury,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you were like, Okay, that's it, I have to stop.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Have you ever thought that?
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, I think it all goes through our mind,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: you know, after I made or injury like that. But
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: we're I guess our brains are wired a little different
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: than most people's brains are, and we can go through
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: something like that and we still come back say we
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: want more.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: So, so what is it? What's I know? Some of
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the bulls have some of the craziest names. What are
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: what are some of the names that you can remember
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: off the top of your head of some of the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: names of the bulls.
• 3:55

• 3:58
