00:00Well Liam I don't know if you remember but a few weeks ago in Singapore you spoke to
00:08Crofty in the paddock and you said if you weren't a Formula One driver you'd be a cowboy.
00:12Being a cowboy I think that'd be pretty cool. I'd love to like learn to be a legit cowboy.
00:16Okay that would suit you down to the ground.
00:18Yeah 100% play guitar ride horses.
00:21We have brought you to the Lodestar Ranch. Please welcome Levi who is a genuine real
00:26lifestyle. Welcome out partner. Thank you very much for having us. Yeah sounds like you want to learn
00:30some stuff today. I would like to yeah I'm suddenly a lot more nervous than I was but
00:34well after this you can teach me how to drive an F1 car. That would be cool actually we should do a
00:38reverse. That sounds good. What do you make of the moustache you've been growing that for two months.
00:42I've been trying this is all I've got. I mean everybody's got to try a hobby you know something
00:45it looks great. It looks great. I felt good about it until I met you. We got to get you squared up
00:52on how to use a rope first so we're gonna do some kind of the fundamental stuff and basics of that.
00:55Amazing. Let's do it.
00:58Right Levi we need to learn how to rope. This is your tool for work essentially a cowboy's main job
01:06is tending cattle. We have to be able to control them we have to be able to catch them move them
01:10separate them all those different things. It's essentially the number one skill that I that
01:15a real cowboy needs to know how to do. You are right-handed correct? I'm right-handed. Okay
01:19perfect. So we got to do is flick it over just like that now rotate your hand around over the top
01:23again. There you go right there. I can't even see it. Now point that finger and just like you'd throw a rock
01:30post. Oh Neely! So close. Now do that about a thousand more times and you'll have it down.
01:36This is okay unbelievably frustrating. You can have a go.
01:43Swing it down in front of you. Like that. There you go. Pretty close. I'm getting my hat.
01:47Yeah that's a hard bit. Almost. Almost. Almost. Oh my god no. There you go. There it is.
01:59Yes! Okay. There it is. Feel better now. There you go. Good job. I don't do any of the second stage
02:04but I know. Good job. You got it. That's it right there. Yeah absolutely. Good job. Right. Thank you.
02:09Now we're gonna go make your cattle drive. I need to enlist Levi here but also Tina who runs the ranch
02:15because they're gonna take you out and show you what to do. Yes. Tina take it away. All right. So we have
02:20amazing horses here at Lone Star Ranch. Have you ridden before? When I was very young. It's been a long
02:24time. Hey all the experience counts. So we're gonna take some of our beautiful big longhorns and we even have a
02:30little baby out there. We're gonna push him off into the next pasture for dinner time.
02:34So I picked a special horse for you today. His name is Topper. So we're gonna get you up on over here.
02:38Where do I put my other hand? What do I grab? So you're gonna grab the horn right here. Okay.
02:42And up and over. Easy. Awesome. Good job. How do I stop? Yep. So you're gonna take your reins and when you
02:50want to stop you're gonna pull back and say whoa. Whoa. Yep. And you can do it with one hand or two.
02:54And when you want to go to the right you're gonna take that right rein and you're gonna turn his head all the
02:58way to the right and turn around. And then when you want to go left you're gonna turn them left too.
03:04So we're gonna push our longhorns all up into the next pasture. So ready to speak cow?
03:10Move on. Hit cow. Hit cow. So you're gonna say come on cows. Hit cow. Hit cow. Come on cows.
03:18There you go. Aren't they beautiful? They are absolutely beautiful. So we're gonna go up. We're gonna push them out of the cedar brush.
03:25We're gonna push them back up to their pens. So they can get some dinner for the evening.
03:31Move cow. Ha ha ha ha ha. There we go. We're gonna push them down the line. There we go.
03:37We'll keep it slow and steady. Well nice job today. Thank you so much. You're really great at riding.
03:43It's been so much fun. You're really great at driving. So we'll take them in to go get dinner.
03:46What do you think about that? And get you some time by the campfire. Sounds like a plan.
03:52So Levi, how did he do? We've come to the end of his day as a cowboy.
03:56Well this is a sport and you're already an athlete. So you could see that that really paid off for you.
04:02Especially when it comes to cattle drive and maintaining your balance on a horse.
04:05How did you like it today with everything that we did? Learning how to rope and looking at you guys.
04:08It's just super, super cool. So yeah, it's something I've genuinely wanted to do. So it's been a very cool experience.
04:13But hey, we got some s'mores for you. While he's making it, what about this weekend?
04:17It's incredibly close, probably the closest season ever. It puts massive pressure on us as drivers, on the teams to extract everything every weekend.
04:25And so coming into this weekend, it's a track that we all, I mean, I think everybody's always excited for this one.
04:30And it's my favorite race, so yeah.
04:32Why don't you try that? Look at that.
04:34There's your taste of s'more right there.
04:36Absolutely, take a big ol' bite out of that. Would you like one now?
04:39Yeah, definitely. Don't leave me out.
04:41Alright, sounds good.
04:42It's biscuit and then a layer of chocolate and then a marshmallow.
04:45We put some graham crackers on them is what we call them.
04:47Put some Hershey's chocolate on there and we toast a marshmallow just enough to get it mushy.
04:51This is something we all grow up doing as little kids.
04:53So good.
04:54Is your trainer going to tell you off?
04:55Yeah. I had a burger today as well.
04:57So it's been a bad day.
05:00Somebody told me you like to play guitar.
05:03Yeah, I do like to play guitar.
05:05Funny enough, I have one for you right here.
