When I went there, and there were collegiate bull riders who were becoming... were going on the pro circuit, who looked at Gary as a guru. And there were guys on the PRCA circuit that were in slumps that would go to Gary for tutoring. And then here's me. You know, I'd been on a horse 10 times in my life, maybe. So he's putting me on these simulators.

And there's classroom stuff in, and then there's... work on mechanical bulls, and then, you know, your first day on a real bull, you know, I just wanted to go home. And, you know, he puts me in the chute, I get on a bull, he's pulling the rope tight, you know, and I'm going, it's too tight. He goes, no, it's not too tight. I go, it's too tight.

And he leans under my hat and he goes, what the fuck do you know about too tight? He goes, are you going to be a man or a mouse? Just tell us that right now. And you're like... Is there another option? It's fine.

You know, they finish the wrap and then they, you know, just nod when you're ready to go. And I don't even think I nodded. I think they just pulled the gate. And it was, you know, it's like. taking a meat hook and grabbing a freight train as it goes by.

It's like 1,800 pounds of muscle.

Yeah. But it was fun. I mean, you know, doing that. Then I went on the road with Gary and his son and went to probably 12 different rodeos and worked the shoots with them and then wrote a book. And it was... I loved every minute of it. I loved working with Tom on this book. Me too.

Well, Declan, you know, kind of follows Tom's life. It begins, you know, when he's out of high school. That's the, you know, and the book doesn't go chronologically. So the first chapter, he's at his first Northwestern training camp.
