My dad met tuff at a truck stop in Oklahoma when I was a kid and got me an autograph that we still keep proudly above our gun cabinet but he told me he was the most down to earth nicest guy he’d had met.we love you tuff

I love how real Tuff is he doesn’t have a filter or do anything to make you think he’s right He’s a true Cowboy 🤙🏽

Loved this interview! Tuff is an amazing human being. Hardworking, down to earth, speaks his truth and fights for what he believes in. Have been a fan of both Lanes and Tuffs since my Dad took me to the Red Bluff Rodeo in 1987. Was 7 years old but remember how cool I felt with the new cowboy hat, shirt, pants and boots he had bought me. Such a special memory!

When I was a teen I saw tuff hedeman land his plane drive a mile to the rodeo grounds and ride his bull. After his ride he signed autographs and took off in his plane to the next rodeo. He was a star then but was still humble to attend a small rodeo on the navajo reservation in Window Rock Arizona. The small landing strip for his airplane was close to the rodeo ground. Nice man.

I'm Where r u at

Tuff is a good story teller. I’m so happy I ran across this!

Tuff is my hero. I have always had eye issues. I know exactly what he meant when he said he was blind as a bat

Your the man tuff, I'm 31 years old I've been following you since I was 5-6 years old and I could still sit here and listen to you telling stories all night long

Damn... It's hard enough losing your best friend, but imagine being right there and actually watching it go down. "It doesn't go away."

I absolutely love this! I was a young from Montana now an old man that use to stay up all night watching the NFR because it was tape delayed on ESPN and couldn't wait to watch the bull riding. I was always cheering on Clint Branger. I learned a new respect for Tuff that I never knew. I was 40 years old and got to go to the NFR for the first time in my life, and got seats behind the bucking shoots. I was 5 seats away from Tuff and I think I was more excited about that than I was attending my first NFR. I went to Cowboy Christmas and made sure I got to meet Tuff and he was a great guy. All I wanted to do was ask him about Clint because I drank beer with Clint in Fishtail MT at the Cowboy bar. My cousin had become good friend with Clint and I thought that was so cool, got to hang with a NFR bull rider. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I could listen to it all day. Thanks!!!! After going to the NFR for the past 10 years I would just walk up to contestants and talk to them, my misses was always embarrassed but I said they are just guys like me and that was so true. I have had beers and bullshitted with a lot of NFR guys and they are all so nice.

That was awesome jack !! What a cowboy and a genuine human being !!

He is so damn cool. I know he doesn’t think he is , but he is.

That was the best interview I have ever seen. Been a fan of Tuff since he started. He’s the greatest, better yet he’s a great person.

Tuff was a true icon (and Hero) to me back in my day growing up and still is. I always want to be like Lane and Tuff. Best interview I’ve heard in a long time.

This is a great example of fantastic Americans!

Holy s*** I really like this man.

Tuff Hedeman.. we grew up watching and wanting to be like you. I can honestly say, I am greatful for all you've done. Azing story

Tuff. One hell of a person man. I love these interviews

Great interview, Jack is a very good listener and asks thoughtful questions.

It’s truly great to listen to his stories. I thank you for sharing ❤️❤️

I had been looking forward to Part 2 all week and it didn't disappoint.

I've never heard Tuff cuss before 🤣

Didn’t you watch 8 seconds lol He said Stephen nailed it on the way he portrayed him drinking loving fighting Cowboys I seen Tuff in the early 90’s and he was wide open Tough Mean SOB but with a little bit of a soft side he obtained from Lane 😎

Same here, the first time I heard him cuss was at this last NFR in Texas when I met him for the first time, I was in awe and asked “do you mind if I take a picture?” He says “hell no cmon,” I ask “do you want me to leave my mask on?” He said “f*ck that mask bullsh*t, Fauci is so full of sh*t!” Haha I was blown away.

More i watch,more i want to hug him. Genuine cowboy. Love it,love him. Thanks for sharing this brother

Incredible interview! 2 ppl that I already thought highly of…now I think even higher of them. Great guys, in depth, REAL conversation. AMAZING. THANK YOU, Jack & Tuff!! Jack you are doing a great job as an interviewer in your Podcasts. I have LOVED every episode.

Couldn't have said it better

I really enjoyed the interview.

Back when I was a kid I rode in rodeos and got to meet Tuff and several of the big names back then. They where always the nicest folks you could meet. Always available to stop and take a picture or sign my hat. Tuff, Ty Murray, Cody Lambert etc...world class nice guys.

Bodacious had a unique way of bucking because of an injury he had as a young bull and it changed his buck style.

I got $100 that says there's no way in hell that's actually Coca cola in Tuff's cup!

Sure it is.. it’s just leaded instead of unleaded

That's cool he gives his buckles away, they mean alot to somebody he gave them to.

He’s still a HANDSOME COWBOY !! ♥️♥️

This is awesome!!!

Wow! This just hit home whether you like it or not! Thank you

Tuff the king of our generation in my mind, even if my grandsons named Lane. Great interview ! Enjoyed every minute of it

Great to see you..

Can we get Clint and Razor next?

He was never ugly never here after 8bseconds

Best and one solid man!

I met Tuff when I was a little kid and he was the nicest guy. We went to his house in Bowie and he walked out in his socks and talked and signed my hat. I still have that hat with probably 50-60 autographs of the best guys to ever get on a bull. It's priceless. Ill take one of those buckles to go with that hat Tuff! Lol. Cool interview

What a great interview

Everything I've seen said he died July 30 1989, I remember that because my daddys bday was July 31 1963

Thank. You for. Sharing

Bull fighters have more respect from everyone in a rodeo than the biggest bull rider has of the crowd.

Tuff would be such a cool guy to sit down and just shot the breeze with and have a beer such a badass dude and a real person

❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing this with us and tuff. I've tried to explain the time in the middle 80s and early 90s and hard. We are all the same. I knew lane tuff cody all those guys and it was fun when we got together. I haven't met anyone who knew lane then that is over his death still today. I'm surprised tuff got through that talk without crying. I was still crying like a baby and can't help it. Then in 2009 I believe to boys that my daughter rodeoed with lost their life coming home from a rodeo and cody and tuff and tye all helped all of us by having a rodeo in their name every year until 2020. In honor of them and the money goes to rodeo kids but anyway. Tuff and lane are still in my life in that since. So again thank you so much I can now share it from another's perspective.

I feel sorry for him and Cody I can only imagine what he is going through I had a friend to get murdered I still not over it that something u don't get over it they say time heals all wonds but it doesn't it may let up some but not much I read in newspaper bout lane I cried I cried at the movie I cried I love lane tuff Cody praying for all of them I had a cousin to die the same way lane die love u all

Heck ya

He said you never opened up to lane, and tuff said no, then he said you son of bish. Lane and tuff relationship is for them, they're friend ship is between them. Thats they're dynamic. What little there is about lane frost and tuff hedeman, all those old cowboys. This is interesting to hear. Hes a legend among legends

Man you could see the hurt in that poor man's eyes

Lane Frost was the Dale Earnhardt of the NFR

Hey Jack, tell Tuff I really like his house 1:00:08

I get all balled up inside.....

From a an aspect of being a huge fan of Tuff, Lane, rodeo etc I was disappointed that there were so many questions that his fans would’ve probably loved to learn about that didn’t get asked. Maybe he set some ground rules on topics 🤷🏻‍♂️ Or maybe you saved those questions to bait us for the NEXT interview 🤔😉 Well done though thanks for bringing us a side of Tuff that his fans have maybe never seen before. 👏🏻

I would have hoped if Dale Earnhardt would have lived, he would be like this guy.

When I finally learned the true story about how good Lane was, I was livid at the way the movie portrayed his as a womanizer, cheater, women beater, I have not watched that movie since learning more about the true character of that young man!

It would be fun to hang out with Tuff,listening to him is enjoyable

Would have been a better interview if Jack would have not interrupted Tuff so much. It was good, but just could have been better.

I believe he was both? From my experience they start out bullfighters then when time and injury catch up they go to the “performing” side of it and let the youngsters take most of the hits, all heroes in my book along with your badass godfather. 👍🏻

He is a cowboy though. Rough and tough.

Then why do the bull fighters dress up like clowns

You can see it still hurts tuff. He was all jokes and all that before he started to talk about lane. His attitude and emotions change real fast when he spoke about lane.
