00:00Hello, welcome to another episode of Perstitutionalist Podcast.
00:06I am your host, Joseph M. Leonard.
00:09That's L-E-N-A-R-D, it's the French, it's not, it's Leonard without an O.
00:17Thank you for tuning in, as Graham Norton used to say, on his show.
00:24Let's get on with the show!
00:26Hello! Special segment for February and March, mid-week drops.
00:35Normally Saturday monologues, and normally a guest appearance on a Wednesday.
00:42February and March, two a week, Tuesday and Thursdays,
00:47in order to get caught up on some interviews that have been stacking up. Enjoy.
00:53Joining me today is Tim Malm.
00:57As most of you know, my Saturday monologue shows are usually either faith or politics or a combination,
01:07the intersection of the two combined.
01:09But during the week, it's a variety show.
01:13I have on various guests.
01:15I've never yet had anyone on to talk about the rodeo.
01:20And the song, I think it's Garth Brooks comes to mind, Rodeo.
01:25I can't play it.
01:27I don't have the rights.
01:28I don't have permission.
01:29And I can't afford to pay him a royalty.
01:32So we'll be skipping that.
01:35But welcome to the show, Tim.
01:37And you wanted to open with a prayer.
01:40So please, by all means, go ahead.
01:42Thank you, sir.
01:44Please bow.
01:46Dear Heavenly Father, we want to hallow your name.
01:51May we bless your name tonight and tonight show.
01:57Agree?
01:58I thank you for this interest in me and my story.
02:02Lord, because of my story, it's ultimately your story.
02:06So God, I just ask you to bless this podcast.
02:12Bless it in new will be.
02:15Lord, Jesus, we thank you for everything done.
02:19Thank you, Lord.
02:21Love you in Jesus' first name.
02:23Amen.
02:24Amen.
02:26That's wonderful.
02:28So let's do the usual, where were you born and raised kind of thing.
02:37Where are you now?
02:39Significant places you've been in between, that kind of stuff.
02:43Well, I was born in Kimball, Nebraska on July 16, 1990.
02:521990, I live in Alvin, Wyoming.
02:57And Alvin is about the size of a big office building.
03:04There's only 200 people in the city.
03:09So literal, everybody knows everybody town.
03:14Yeah.
03:15If you're not kidding, I'm related to half of them.
03:24Are you sure you want to admit that, though?
03:28It's a joke, people.
03:30I'm joking.
03:31I think so.
03:34We got to keep a sense of humor or we'll go crazy, right?
03:40Exactly.
03:41I noticed your bio on Podmatch, and it mentioned rodeo.
03:47And as I said, I never would have thought to have anyone on regarding rodeo.
03:53It's not something I normally watch.
03:56I have seen a few events.
03:57I remember the movie last year from Angel Films.
04:04Do you remember the title that had professional bull riding in it?
04:10I can't think of the name right now.
04:13I can't think of the name right now.
04:25Yeah.
04:25And it did really well.
04:28It was a really good movie again.
04:30It was something different about a guy that indeed got injured and was going to try to make a comeback
04:40because his grandson was sick and he needed the prize money.
04:45So it was a very interesting story.
04:48But what got you into rodeo?
04:50Go ahead and tell us your story.
04:53No, that's a whole different type of rodeo.
04:57Oh, I don't do the work in horses or working boats.
05:04I stay on horses and don't work.
05:08I mainly care for them, which as well as you get the other time to care.
05:16But I figured out for my dad and grandpa.
05:22And just as it was a solid NFL one year, I fell in love with the sport.
05:32And they beat me bad just as I was hurt.
05:38And ever since then, every second of every day has been rodeo.
05:45So, yeah, a different kind.
05:48I think they showed in that movie.
05:52I know the minute we're done recording, it'll come to me and I'll think of it, but it'll be too
05:59late.
05:59Brain fog.
06:00But indeed, yeah, very different, different kind of a talent.
06:08It's still a timed event though, yes?
06:11Yes, sir, it is.
06:13And what attracted you to that?
06:18I really don't know.
06:21It was something about dad and grandpa did.
06:25So, it kind of ran in the family.
06:30That reminds me, you know, what else runs in our family that I don't do.
06:38What's that?
06:40Walk.
06:42Oh.
06:45How long were you involved in the rodeo?
06:50I picked up a rope in 2011 and had a rope in my hands every day leading up to my
07:04injury in 2000.
07:15And did you get tossed?
07:27I was practicing steer roving at the second event and I got a horse over the rope and when the
07:41rope became tight, it jerked the horse down.
07:46And without a red mark, broken bone, or even a bruise on me, it was a whiff loss in my
07:58brain, shaking in my head.
08:03That caused me to blame bleeding at the best of the brain.
08:08When I was in the hospital, I was in the hospital ICU for two weeks, then almost for a month
08:21in Craigway Health Hospital in Inglewood, Colorado.
08:29Then I've been home ever since then.
08:32I've gotten to speak in numerous rodeo churches, and I even got to speak on you.
08:44I've turned from today's rodeo church to almost 2,000 people, but God is good.
08:56And I'm getting stronger every day, just like my cousin, he says, it's stronger for 13.
09:12So, yeah, clearly it hasn't jaded you.
09:17Indeed, bad things sometimes happen to good people.
09:22That doesn't mean, right?
09:24And it hasn't jaded you, you still love it, you still appreciate it, you still like to talk about it,
09:33and it just, it's a new phase of your life.
09:40It's just something, it's different now.
09:43Have you, are you thinking about writing a book or anything like that on the topic?
09:49I've already got two books out.
09:53Oh, okay, I didn't have that in my notes.
09:59They're on my website, strongerfor13.com.
10:08Okay, we'll check that out, and I'll put it on the scrawl at the bottom of the screen and post
10:17video edit for those watching.
10:20Oh, my green screen's acting up there.
10:23There we go, fixed it.
10:25All right.
10:28The accident happened, when again, did you say 2011?
10:342010.
10:3610.
10:37So, now, 16 years now.
10:42And...
10:48Well, again, you're clearly not jaded by it.
10:53Your spirits are good about it.
10:56Indeed, as we said, bad things sometimes happen to good people.
11:01We can't let those bad things destroy the who we are, the good people we are, though, yes?
11:10Yes, sir.
11:11Do you want to know my job title?
11:15Sure, go ahead.
11:16I am a stand-up comedian.
11:21The only problem is I can't stand up.
11:27So, you're a sit-down comedian, yes.
11:37So, the books, you said they're on the website, but can you share the titles of those books?
11:47One is in his time, and it consists mainly of my mom's journaling, and it's compared to what my aunt
12:01can draw my life.
12:04The other book is called The Battlefield,
12:11And there's a 26-day devotional on the book of Joshua, written entirely by me.
12:24And how long did that take you to write?
12:29Did you have it in your mind, pretty much all mapped out, so it was kind of easy?
12:36Was it just a question of getting it into a book, or did you kind of have to think about
12:42it as you went along?
12:44I kind of had to think about it as I went along.
12:50It was a lot of clay for me.
12:53I had a book of Joshua to follow along.
13:00So, it's a book on the book.
13:07So, how long have you been doing podcasts?
13:13About a month.
13:17Oh, so you just recently started, you just recently joined Podmatch and connecting with shows that way, like we connected.
13:28Yes, sir.
13:30I've not been swimming very long.
13:35Well, yeah, it gets easier as you go.
13:39Unfortunately, you'll get a lot of the same questions.
13:43So, you'll be able to do it in your sleep before no long.
13:49Yeah.
13:56What aspirations do you have going forward?
14:08My message is never quit, never give up on the Lord, because he will never give up on you.
14:22Right, we may need, at times in our lives, due to circumstance, pivot from what we've known to something different,
14:35but different doesn't necessarily mean bad, or it's just different.
14:42And it's a new opportunity, as the saying goes, when one door closes, another opens, yes?
14:51I would say, kind of.
14:55I say, when one door opens, God closes, God opens the window.
15:05I'm so glad you said that, because in my The Book of Kennedy Project Carpe Diem, I make that joke.
15:14A door may close, but find a window to go through.
15:18Exactly.
15:19So, you and I kind of think alike in that, in that lame pun territory.
15:29But, I mean, there's a serious statement in that.
15:35People, people's expectations of what may be presented.
15:42It's like the story about the drowning person.
15:47Lord, why didn't you, you know, save me?
15:51And he says, I sent three boats your way.
15:57Right?
15:59But, so, it may not be as you're expecting, but make lemonade out of lemons, so to speak.
16:11Right?
16:12Definitely.
16:14Yeah, there's opportunity in what does come your way.
16:20Did you do anything before?
16:23Well, you said it's kind of been in the family, so that's kind of all you've done was competitions?
16:30Or did you have a regular job and that was kind of your side hustle kind of thing?
16:38Or were you good enough at it that you made a living at it?
16:43I was just starting to make my living at it.
17:05A labor of love, as the saying goes, if you're doing something you love, you're not really working.
17:12Every day in your life.
17:14Yep.
17:17How big a ranch is it?
17:20Well, we stole all the cows now.
17:25My grandpa passed away.
17:27Sorry to hear that.
17:29Yeah, it's all right.
17:31But for a while, we were quite big.
17:35We had a couple thousand mama cows.
17:43Were you raising cattle for slaughter or mainly milk purposes?
17:52Mainly beef purchases.
17:56Mm-hmm.
17:57Mm-hmm.
17:58Yeah.
17:59Yeah, the price of beef is way up because we've lost so many heads over the year.
18:11They're not – it takes years to get them into the pipeline, so to speak, to get them born and
18:19start to raise them and that –
18:21It's better than the two.
18:27Very true.
18:31All right.
18:32Well, you already gave the website, but to wrap it up, if indeed people want to find you, what's the
18:40website again?
18:41Stronger what?
18:44413.
18:46That's S-T-R-O-N-G-E-R 413.com.
18:58Okay.
19:00So the numbers 413.
19:04It's after my favorite Bible verse, Philippians 513.
19:11I can do all this because it's directed to me.
19:17Yep.
19:18I've got a meme I'll try to remember to put in the end.
19:22Indeed, that, you know, it's kind of three stages.
19:28It's the word can't with a T.
19:32The T is a cross.
19:34And then Jesus enters the picture, and he takes away the cross.
19:39Can't.
19:40It can, right?
19:42Yes.
19:42Yes.
19:43I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
19:47Okay.
19:47Thank you, Tim Malm, M-A-L-M.
