Bonus Episode - Let'er Buck! Broncos, Steers, Whiskey & Beer at the Pendleton Rodeo (from Hidden Trails of Oregon)

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 08:00:00 -0400

In this special bonus episode we're headed to Oregon with the our friends the hosts of the Hidden Trails of Oregon Podcast.

“It’s part action movie, part rock show blurring into the superbowl. It feels modern, but bull riding itself goes back to the bronze age. And that’s true for rodeo contests in general: bull riding, barrel racing or wild cow milking, they’re all based on tradition, and in keeping those traditions alive.

‘Let ‘Er Buck’ makes a lot of sense from the back of a bull. But as we find out, it’s much more than a rodeo shout: it’s a way of life.”

We’re leaping headfirst into the rodeo to end all rodeos, the 115 year-old Pendleton Roundup! In this episode, host Aaron Millar tests his mettle on a massive mechanical hog, before climbing into the stands for a (literally) explosive ‘Xtreme Bulls’ finale. We’ll lean over the bucking chutes and get clobbered by dirt flung from bronco hooves. But the roundup isn’t all spectacle, it’s also about family and tradition. We’ll step back in time to learn about the history of the event while sipping whiskey in the notorious ‘Let ‘er Buck’ room. Stories of champions, princesses, suicide-racers and steer-wrestlers wait around every corner.

We’ll meet a generational indigenous horse relay racing team, hand them microphones, and listen in on their insane bare-back bid for victory. And through it all explore the western ties that bring all these groups to rodeo together each September.

LET ‘ER BUCK!

Remember you can see all of this yourself. Go to PendletonRoundup.com for details and take our advice: book early!

Plan your next Oregon adventure at TravelOregon.com and you can find the full Hidden Trails of Oregon Podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

Thank you to all guests featured on the show: Toni Minthorn, Scott and Dylan Abramson, Pat Nogle and Butch Knowles A special thank you to Greg and Petra for showing us such a great time, we can’t wait to come back. Brian Thacker led our pre-production, Charles Tyrie assisted on audio editing, and the episode was recorded by Jason Paton who also wrote and co-produced along with host Aaron Millar.

James Fell

Tue, 28 Apr 2015 05:51:02 -0400

James Fell saw photos of himself over 20 years ago and didn't like what he saw. He decided to lose weight before proposing to his girlfriend, now wife. Thus started a lifetime of fitness and eventually a change in career. James created the Body For Wife website and began posting fitness articles. His humorous and sometimes scathing critiques of trendy diets and fitness crazes struck a chord with readers, and soon the marketing exec was a fitness guru full-time. His job requires travel, which often is not conducive to dieting. But James gives some tips on how to stay in shape on the road, and recounts his travels to run marathons on both coasts. Recorded in James' hometown airport of Calgary, Alberta. How Canadian is he? He ran his first two marathons wearing a Rush shirt. Now that's Canadian! Thanks, James!

David "Reaper" Justin came by his fearsome moniker as a tactical expert and crack shot on the professional paintball circuit. Justin honed his skills as a soldier in the Israeli army back in the 80's, after the California native sold his possessions and moved to a kibbutz to find a new way of life. He returned to Cali after years in Israel with a new wife, started a family, worked in the software business, and later took on the weekend-warrior paintball hobby full throttle, earning endorsements along the way. We discuss his travels throughout the Middle East, Crete, Japan, and more. Enjoy!

John Bizarre

Mon, 16 Feb 2015 19:56:12 -0400

Back in '94, John Bizarre quit a successful stand-up and acting career in LA to move to Amsterdam, drive a pedicab, and smoke a lot of weed. He returned two years later a 140-pound opium addict. Now sober and living and working in Las Vegas, John recalls his travels throughout Europe and Southeast Asia with no (OK, maybe a few) regrets. Drugs, prostitution, smuggling - this episode's got it all!

Lee Abbamonte

Mon, 19 Jan 2015 21:42:28 -0400

Some people are well-traveled, and then there's Lee Abbamonte. By the ripe old age of 32, Lee became the youngest American to visit every country in the world. From war-torn regions like West Africa and Iraq, to both the North and South Poles, the Connecticut native has seen it all. I caught up with Lee while he was making a pitstop in LA, and we covered all bases: how long his journey took; how he paid for it; scary border crossings; police run-ins; bizarre foods, and everything in-between. Pleasure to meet you Lee, and see you down the road!

Rosie Tran

Tue, 06 Jan 2015 05:47:38 -0400

An American-born child of Vietnamese immigrants, Rosie's parents met in the thriving expat community in the Crescent City. It may seem like an odd mix of cultures at first, but consider the similarities: humid weather, a strong French influence, and a prominent fishing industry among others, and the match begins to make sense. Rosie began her comedy career in New Orleans before moving to LA, and her family and upbringing provided a wealth of material. We talk about her family's fascinating backstory, and she gives insider tips on the best places to go in New Orleans off the beaten tourist path.
