  Speaker 2: about four months prior to that. So when the network starts,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Susan Woldman's going to leave, and I'm gonna team you,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: what with Jody McDonald to do the midday show. That's

  Speaker 2: and of course you know, I'm miss Ranch, so I
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: met imss. He was disinterested, but Mike Breen said, don't worry.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: You guys get along great, it'll be great. And then
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: it all started and you know. I was on that
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: show every weekday for about five years. But that relationship
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: lasted on and off the year me and I Miss
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: believe it or not, for eighteen years, eighteen till he died,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: which still makes me sad. Back in December of I
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: guess twenty twenty and Lou you were with Imus for
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: how long? I think it was ninety seen? I think
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: it was twenty nineteen too, No, you started, we died it,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I thought, what you're talking about? He passed? Oh, I
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: started in eighty eight, eighty eight, so you would die
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: a long time, almost thirty years. Yeah. So had the
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: opportunity to speak to his wife, Deirdre Saturday. She reached out.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: It was great. We had a great conversation. And the
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: conversation between me and dear Jehi Miss led to a
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: discussion about their son, Wyatt, who's doing great stop out
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: there in Texas, and that turned into a conversation between
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: me and Wyatt just a couple of days ago, and
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: he's doing some big things. I said, hey, come on
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the show. Let's catch you on. Everybody Loves and I
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Miss in New York City still a legend. So with
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: that said, here he is the son of the late
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: great don I miss the very impressive Wyatt. I miss Wyat.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Pyle, how.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Wa you good morning? Thank you very much for having me.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Good t.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: You gotta know playing that mic drop wherever my mother's
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: listening right now, she's undoubtedly crying.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I know it sounds like you're crying. Are you okay?
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Oh? I'm fine. You could have played the Rush song,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Tom foyering that you could have had Lou play that.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: That would have been great.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: But we do play Rush on this show quite a
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: bit because I happened to love the song Limelight. But
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: we do play Tom Sawyer and every time we play it,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: why it's like, ah, that's that's Imus's song. But we
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: wanted to, we wanted the audience. He got emotional because
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: your father.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Everybody crime, Yes, I have a conversation, yes.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: And right now your father is somewhere okay, and he's
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: lamping his ass off watching everybody try. Yeah, what how
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: old are you when your father passed away?
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: He passed away in twenty nineteen, so I was twenty one.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Years old, So now you're going to be twenty eight
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: if my math is right? Is that right?
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: That is correct? I'll be twenty eight in July.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: So before we get to what you're doing, and again
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: you're doing great stuff, how was your life changed? I mean,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: obviously you loved your dad. You guys had a great relationship,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: trust me, we all know it, great rodeo days and
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: he was so proud of you. You love you. How
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: was your life changed since your dad passed away?
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: You know, I often times I talk to people who
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: really lean on their fathers, right, you know, and I
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: had a great relationship with mine, and he was involved,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: heavily involved in everything I did. Well with that, you
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: have an unbelievable security net, right, you have a you know,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: the ability to talk to somebody who you value more
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: than anything. Yeah, and when somebody like that goes away,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: it leaves an impact where you no longer have that.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: You know. It's like it's like jumping into the ocean
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: and then somebody reaches down and takes your life raft hmm.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I like that, that's true.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Such a He did such a great job demonstrating, I mean,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: to me, at least, how to be a man and
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: live your life. And so he left me with a
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: lot of great lessons and what I think is a
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: destability to navigate life. And I'm forever thankful for that.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: But you know, it changes you forever. You know, especially
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: if you have a great relationship with your father and
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: you no longer have that, it changes everything. It changes
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: the trajectory of your life because it takes away, like
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: I said, that analogy, that that life raft in every way.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Well, I can tell you that I know exactly what
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: you're talking about because my dad was my best friend
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Wyatt when I was a little boy. He was my
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: manager in little league, he was my coach in football.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: We talked every day, you know, Wyatt, for about nineteen years,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: whether I was doing a show in Florida or New
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: York City. When the show ended, let's say ten o'clock
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: ten oh one, I got a text from my dad
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: and he would say, Sydney, you a great day, I said, Dad,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: not every day. In my Grady goes no, you are.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I am biased. And my father passed away. It'll be
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: six years in July, and it hurts me still. In fact,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: my birthday was Sunday and my dad sang Happy Birthday
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: to me literally two months before he passed away. And
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I play it on this show every year, and it
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: hurts you know, but it struck me at least after
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: my dad passed away, we went as a family to
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Newport What. I don't know how to get away. I
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: couldn't be here and I came back in that first
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Monday morning back on the air. I didn't get that
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: text at ten oh one. No, and that's when I
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: realized he's really gone. No, he's not gone. His memories
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: are here. And people tell me all the time all
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: my successes because he's making sure that's the case. And
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I know in your case, your father Don is doing
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: the same thing. But I know exactly what you're.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Talking about absolutely, And I feel so fortunate too, because
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: in a lot of cases people lose somebody like that,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: they only have a few texts, you know, a few
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: maybe a voicemail whatever. Well, I can go to YouTube
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: or turn on your show and you know, listen to
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: your impression of him and.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not terrible. You know, it's better.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Just called me a minute before hit on here was
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: the great bow needle.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, well he's very proud of you. I spoke
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: to Bowl yesterday. Now he's aware of what you're doing
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: with the horses. Yes, now you got to him for
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: you got to hit him up with a cash because
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: and I love bo too. He's an uncle to me.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: He's he's no longer a friend now he's my relative.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: He said, I got guys who want to in best.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: So the fact that you mentioned bowl is the perfect
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: transition Wyat to tell the folks exactly what you're doing today,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: which Ball was interested in and wants to help. And
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: the beauty of it is going back to your late
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: great father. It was a dream of his that has
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: now become a reality. Tell me audience about that.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Well, absolutely, you know he a lot of people. I mean,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: I'm sure people know, but lots of people don't really
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: recognize that he was raised on a forty thousand acre
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: cattle ranch between Kingman and Seligman, Arizona. My grandfather had
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: a big ranch out there for years before he passed away,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: and they raised Herford cattle. So that all those years
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: him wearing the cowboy at it wasn't a stick of
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: any kind like he was cowboy through and through. You know,
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: he was the real life John Wayne. So when he
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: he and my mother found a diamonds ranch for kids
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: with cancer, they took all the values that embodied great
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: cowboys from the way he was raised, and they implemented
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: it in helping these kids with cancer for years in
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: New Mexico. You know, as you pointed out before I
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: came on, raised millions and millions of dollars to help,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: you know, SIDS and all the kids with cancer and everything. Well,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: when I got old enough and started roping and liking
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: horses and being around horses, we we got into that
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: aspect of it more, which is, you know, the performance
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: horse side of like ranch life in the Western way
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: of life. If you ever watched Yellowstone, really popular show.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: It. I loved it. I told you this, but it
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: is great, and I live in and I'm a Brooklyn kid.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm not gonna lie I did. I rode
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: a horse on a vacation in Cyprus on the beach
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: last summer. Before that, it was twelve years ago upstate.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: So I'm not exactly John Wayne, but I was addicted
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: to that show until they got rid of Kevin Koshner.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: But nevertheless, it made me appreciate cowboy life in the
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: great state of Montana exactly well.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: He did a phenomenal job, Taylor shared in that being
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: of demonstrating how the Western performance horses, and that side
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: of it tied into ranching. So that was what that was.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: My dad started about ten or eleven years ago when
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: we moved to the ranch here in Brenham, Texas, which
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: is where he did his final sign off that you played.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: He started a performance hors program and you raised and
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: trained high level athletes, the equine athletes, and you compete
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: on them. Well, his dream was that the industry in
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: itself would get to the point where it was like,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: you know the Kentucky Derby which is coming up here
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: in a couple of weeks, where you know, the purses
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: were big, the money was big. You know, people really
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: wanted to be involved, and it's it's arrived. What what
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: he was hoping would happen has happened. But wow, the
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: industry has reached a point now where you know, it's
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: a it's a multi billion dollar industry. I mean there's
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: events that pay out millions of dollars to a single horse.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: I mean the involvement has escalated to the point where
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: you know, in the next couple of years it'll be
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: it'll rival an event like the Kentucky Derby bus.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: And and you're telling me why again for the folks
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: that aren't into it as much. Now, this is a
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: business investment. You don't got to be living on a
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: ranch in Texas to make money, right right, But you're
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: telling me similar like it. They're not race horses, not
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: the Kentucky Derby, so similar like maybe the dog show,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: the Westminster Dog Show. These are show horns. Is it?
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Is it similar in that title, that type of competition.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it's relatively similar, but in the sense
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: where I, you know, take them to events and compete
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: on them in an event which is called team roping.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: And you might have my dad, he used to beat
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: everybody to death with all my runs. You know, he
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: plant constantly, and you know, you someone guy's on a horse,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: another guy's on a horse, come out rope a steer
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: and you know that's how it goes. So that's the
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: event and the horses we raise that we show them
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: in and like like you're saying, it's reached a point
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: where you don't have to you don't have to have
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: a backyard for your horse to be involved nowadays. You know,
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: it's at such a level now where we manage the
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: horses as agents and they are high level athletes. And
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: they we raise them, train them and let them perform
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: on the biggest stages all around the country and they
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: win a lot of money. So it's exactly like you're saying,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: you don't have to even ever sit on one. You
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: don't have to sit on a horse to own one
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: or to be involved or to benefit from them.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: So what is the easiest way for somebody listening in
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Brooklyn or Stutaten Island right now? Why it to get
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: involved in this? Take some money?
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, the easiest way to get involved would be
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: to just contact me. I mean, we're we're on the rise.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: My dad started a legacy program that I'm I've carried
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: on and we were at an amazing point. And you know,
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: here's the deal. I'm a I'm a man of the
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: people like he was. So if you want to talk
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: to me, you can call me. You know, you can
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: call my number or text me. My number would be
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: eight three to two nine nine two four six eight
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: seven and four six eighty seven actually spelled Imus, which
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: is kind of cool. And then we have a presence
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: on social media. We have an Instagram, a TikTok, a Facebook.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: It's at Imus Ranch. We're always happy to engage with anybody. Yeah,
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: so that's those are great ways to get involved.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: You know, your father right now is saying, did my
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: son just give out his cell phone number? With millions
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: of people listening? Now you want to get like naked
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: drunk text from Justin Elligo at like four o'clock in
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: the morning on a Sunday.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: White, I didn't say that was my personal number. Okay, good,
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: that's the number you can reach me.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: I got it. So, so the ranch is still the
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Imus Ranch? And do you guys still do some of
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: the stuff with the kids and all that or have
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: you basically moved on from that? And because I know
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: you're in charge of you have a loook about one
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: hundred horses. Have you moved on from that or is
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: that still part of the of the daily life on
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: the Imus Ranch.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: It's not a part of the daily life as far
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: as kids coming out and being involved anymore. But we
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: still have the I'mish Ranch Foundation donate millions of dollars
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: to causes every single year. You know, my mother, she's
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: on the board of the Children's Health Defense, you know,
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: battling for children's health, and we support veterans. You know,
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: there's a huge event every year in the fall, and
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: we supports there's a big event in Fort Worth, Texas.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: We donate money and support veterans to come out and
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: they learn how to ride horses, learn how to rope,
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: to compete, learn kind of about the cowboy way of life.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: And I mean we're very involved that way through the
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Imish Ranch Foundation. But the Imish Ranch here in Brenham,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Texas is specifically just about performance horses, about what my
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: dad started a little over a decade ago, and that's
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: what we're physically focused on. But and again you undation
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: is a well in live right.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: But again you you you oversee about one hundred horses.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Is that about right?
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Is that the number about fifty fifty you know, fifty
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: between you know, performance horses that are ages three to
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: six years old that are either getting ready to start
• 15:57
