Interview with Ultimate Cowboy Showdown contestant Cody Traylor

The newest season of Ultimate Cowboy Showdown will air on INSP starting on Thursday, April 21st at 8PM ET (10 episodes).  I wanted to introduce you to some of the new contestants. Today on #whatonwhatsgood with Jovin Tardif, I am here with Ultimate Cowboy Showdown contestant Cody Traylor.

1. Can you tell us a little about yourself?

Cody Traylor: My name is Cody James Traylor, and I’m from Hobo Station, MS. When I was 20 years old, I left home and joined the US Air Force. However, I always had a dream of heading West and buckarooing ever since I saw my cousin, Malcolm Traylor — my personal cowboy hero — doing it.

When I moved to Alaska, my love for the West blossomed. After a few more years of being thrown all over, I was stationed in Washington state. After my time in the Air Force ended in 2020, I moved to Eastern Washington on my own to focus on my career in cattle and music. Now, I raise horses and cattle and perform whenever I can. 

2. How did it feel to be picked for the show?

Cody Traylor: It really was a shock. Since I was just coming out of the military, I wasn’t sure whether or not they would take me.

3. Ultimate Cowboy Showdown is hosted by country music icon Trace Adkins. What was it like working with him and meeting him?

Cody Traylor: It was definitely a little intimidating at first, but Trace is a great man and a good judge. I enjoyed being able to pick his brain and talk to him like a normal person. 

4. What do you feel are some characteristics needed to be an ultimate cowboy?

Cody Traylor: Grit, determination, drive, and honesty. All of these characteristics work together because we can have some long days on the ranch. 

5. What would you say is one of the toughest cowboy skills to learn and why?

Cody Traylor: Patience. Things don’t happen on your timeframe. Patience was the hardest thing for me to learn, not only in cowboying, but in life as well. 

6. In your opinion, what can we learn from watching Ultimate Cowboy Showdown?

Cody Traylor: Viewers will enjoy watching a bunch of great cowboys, punchers, buckaroos, and vaqueros use their skills and knowledge to work together to get a job done and put on a good show while doing it!

Encounters Netflix Release date September 27th, 2023 Description Explosive new revelations from military whistleblowers of alien encounters, UFOs, and clandestine Pentagon programs, as well as coverage from major news sources, have breathed a fresh urgency into a topic that, for decades, we’ve relegated to the realm of conspiracy. ENCOUNTERS, directed by Yon Motskin (Generation Hustle) and executive produced by Amblin Television, Emmy-winning Boardwalk Pictures and Vice Studios, is a landmark four-part series that travels the globe to explore four extraordinary true stories of encounters with otherworldly phenomena. Each cinematic and deeply-researched episode tells a single story: strange lights in the sky over small-town Texas; submersible space crafts haunting a coastal Welsh village; an alien encounter with schoolchildren in Zimbabwe; non-human intelligence reportedly interfering with a nuclear power plant in Japan. As told from the perspective of firsthand experiencers – in the

TV Review: The Neighborhood

The Neighborhood Mud, Blood & Beer Productions/A Bird and a Bear Entertainment/Kapital Entertainment/Trill Television CBS Studios/CBS #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) "The Neighborhood on CBS is about a friendly Midwestern couple (Dave and Gemma Johnson) and their son Grover (Hank Greenspan) who move to a neighborhood in Los Angeles. Gemma (Beth Behrs) got a new job as a school principal in L.A. Dave Johnson (Max Greenfield) is just about the friendliest guy in the world.  I don't think anyone can dislike him.  Well one person can... They have a pretty opinionated next-door neighbor, the grouchy mechanic Calvin Butler (Cedric the Entertainer).  He has a wife named Tina (Tichina Arnold) and two sons Marty (Marcel Spears) and Malcolm (Sheaun McKinney).   Dave is desperately trying to fit in with the community.  Will the Johnsons be accepted by everyone?   The series is quite amusing.  Tina as Calvin's wife is fun as she keeps Calvin in line.  Some of

Deadloch Amazon Studios, OK Great Productions, Guesswork Television Amazon Prime Video #whatonwhatsgood Express Review Deadloch is an Australian comedy/crime show. It is set in a town called Deadloch, Tasmania.  In the first episode, Trent Latham (Barry Wheeler) is found naked and dead on a beach.  The question is can Sergeant Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and Det. Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami) work together to solve the mystery?  It's a whodunnit. Enjoy! Description Deadloch is an eight-part crime comedy. When a local man turns up dead on a beach, two vastly different detectives are thrown together to solve the case. Deadloch puts a comedic spin on the crime genre, completely flipping it and challenging the tropes of the genre. It’s a compelling mystery with The Kates’ signature humour, and explores themes of truth, misogyny, gender, and race. The series features a large ensemble cast led by Kate Box (Fires, Wentworth), Madeleine Sami (The Breaker Upperers), Nina Oyama (Utopia),

The Tourist Two Brothers Pictures/Highview Productions/All3Media/South Australian Film Corporation/BBC Studios/HBO Max/ZDF/Stan #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) "Essentially a man in the Australian Outback gets into a car accident and can't remember anything. He has no ID and no memories.   The real questions are...  Who is he? Will he be able to figure it out? Why are people trying to kill him? I think you will find Jamie Dornan quite interesting in this series. A few funny moments include when his character gets angry when he can't remember Simon & Garfunkel, wondering if he's an alcoholic because he loves the taste of beer, and of course finding out what makes him happy is eating a burrito."

Interview with musical artist Matt U Johnson We all need an escape right now. Close your eyes and think about a tropical island.  Take a breath. Now let’s focus on all the colourful architecture. Take in all that Vitamin D from the endless sunlight. Can you smell the flowers while walking down the boardwalk? Go ahead dip your toes in the ocean. Are you getting warm? Grab a snack or ice cream. But wait… something is missing. We need music. Something fresh with just the right amount of Pop, R&B, Hip Hop, and reggae along with EDM. Hmmm…I think I found the song for you. “Gwan Get It” ft.
