Episode 24-06: Cody Teel on Retirement, December & NFR Fever, and Life After Bull Riding
Description
In this episode, Luke welcomes 2012 PRCA World Champion Bull Rider Cody Teel, Callie Adams, Director of Events at Montana Silversmiths, and Barry Berg of Cactus Ropes for a look at the craftsmanship, people, and perspectives that shape the Western world.
Cody reflects on the bittersweet side of stepping away from competition — the pride in what he accomplished and the challenge of watching the sport’s biggest event from the sidelines. He talks about that familiar “December fever” the NFR brings every year, why it pulls every cowboy right back into the excitement, and why that fire often fades by spring.
Callie shares insight into the artistry and legacy behind Montana Silversmiths’ nightly round buckles and world champion buckles, while Barry breaks down what goes into building the ropes trusted by top hands across the sport at Cactus Ropes. Together, they highlight the craftsmanship and culture driving the athletes and makers who keep rodeo moving forward.
