This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Things ive been through over
the past self years and
particularly the last several
weeks,
PETE Jed. As you know, we took a
trip across the United States.
We covered sixteen states, one of the
reasons we stopped Montana.
I spent a year in law, school
living in Montana, working on a
ranch
one of the best years in my
life, guys
absolutely incredible,
not just for the physical beauty
of Montana and the work, but the
people I met there.
I would like to introduce you to
my quote: Unquote Montana:
family
owners of the L diamond ranch in
Clinton Montana
Good Morning, Dan and Rhett
good morning will.
Will I will turn it over to
PETE and Jed?
They can ask you the kind of
questions. What kind of cowboy I
was.
I will say it at the outset.
Dan. Where is your hat?
I made one request. Wear your
hat.
I told him to wear it.
Youre not supposed to wear a
hat in the house.
Will
PETE there are rules. Will
thank you. So much for being
here
were glad you loaned will to
us.
You had him for a year twenty years
ago.
Tell us about the will Cain you
got to know over a year there.
Well I dont know he is
pretty incredible. Fellow ill
tell you that much
very quick learner.
He can do the hard work and and
everything else
I can only think of maybe in the
whole time that he was helping
us. He only got lost with a load
of horses once
he found his way back without
too much help
other than that I dont know of
any faults
will Jed. I will tell you this.
What he is talking about, I got
lost once with a entire trailer.
Full of horses
got lost in a valley
had to find ply way back.
I had to follow a ups truck, but
Dan I found my way back
eventually
Jedediah before you ask before
you told that story, I was going
to ask if he made any big
mistakes.
Obviously working on a ranch is
really hard work.
What are some of the things that
will had to learn how to do
before? He got there.
The thing with him when he
first came over our mom, had
called and said that this junk
gentleman wanted to come over
and see the ranch
he did. He came over, but he came
and somebody said he made the
remark that Danny was a redneck
will. I would never.
His hair was a little bit
bushy,
so he tried to stuff it
underneath a baseball cap.
We met him,
he helped Danny and they were
bucking bales and putting things
in the barn
they back in that evening and
after they were done,
had his hair and it went whoosh.
It was out from underneath the
hat.
He said that is the hardest work
I have ever done.
Will Jed. I learned how to
stretch and little bit how to
shoe morses
that is buckets bales of hey
lifting stacking 80 pound bales
of day all day long
Jed PETE. I hurt from my
fingertips down to my toes
I wasnt worried about the long
hair. I was trying to hide
PETE you cant.
What about will coming back
this summer, getting a chance to
know his wife and kids?
We cant even describe it.
We never met Wes before
we had been back to see, will and
Kathleen in New York in January
to the PBR was in Madison Square
Garden,
but Charlie was just little
then

have them stay with us here. For
a few days
