Hello Dwayne. I am Kevin Stuit. I have been waiting a while to comment on your videos. I have a bunch to say. I watched a few about a month or so ago. I could tell by your eyes you were a good man. My Dad taught me that the eyes tell ya more than the mouth . He was a Cowboy from South Dakota. Migrated to Lynden, Wa. When he was 14. He died a few years back. He could've listened to you all day. I have learned a lot and share several of your theories. I learned from my Dad. I road a lot as a kid till I was 11. I hade 4 brothers. We road. Grew up on a dairy farm with horses. Mostly mountain riding and some playdays at the fair. My youngest brother died when he was 10. I was 11 and we all pretty much quit riding for many years. I got back into it a bit about 10 years ago or so. I am a divorced 52 year old dump truck driver. No kids. 1 Quarter horse and a Shetland miniature cross pony,4 cats and 2 heelers. Your videos have inspired me tremendously. When I watched God's roundpen video and I was real happy and not surprised that you were a Christian. I could sense it before that video . For me, Life has been full a "Bodacious rides". I keep getting back on. Dang hard sometimes. The timing of your video tonight was perfect for my last ride. I went on a nice horse ride Saturday night and the rear end on my 1988 f350 blew up on the way home. I have been mopin'. I was gonna take a week off in late September, early October and explore your country. Can't now I don't think cuz of costs. Soon hopefully. I am curious as all get out. Would like to meet you sometime and your family. I would love to see where you work. If at all possible. I know this is wordy but I gotta get it out. I apologize. I look at taking care of and communicating with my critters as sheparding. You have the same way. Not everyone does. The closest I can get to being Christ like for me is taking good care of my critters. And my Momma. She's 82. I could go on and on... Thank you sir, from the bottom of my heart. You have a gift with critters and a gift for speaking. You remind me a bunch of my PA. Your spirit has moved mine. God bless you and your family. Congratulations on another grand child! This has been a bit difficult for me. Thank you for bearing with me. I look forward to more of your videos.

I stumbled across your channel today. I am a 25 year old currently deployed Soldier that has been wanting desperately to get into the Saddle bronc scene, buy my own horses, and start my own ranch after I complete my master's degree. Finding you couldn't have come at a better time. Cheers, sir!
I have spent the last few days watching all of your videos, I enjoyed them all a lot. Including your cigar videos...LOL I guess you can call me a city dude, spent most of my youth overseas (my father was on the Air Force) while in Egypt got to ride an "Arabian" for 2 hours and a camel for 2 hours. I have paid for couple hour rides here and there. I have always found horses beautiful and will admit I know absolutely nothing about them. I envied the wrangler/ cowboy life and the men and women who do it. If I know there were schools for it, I may have went to one when I got out of the Army. Its one reason I love the videos, gives me a small idea and taste, a long with a little education on horses and the life style. I am a little old to take it up at 55 and a blown out knee. I love your cigar videos talking about how I was raised 3 things common respect, common courtesy and common sense, seems to be missing now a days. So thank you from someone who didn't get the chance to be a wrangler/cowboy, which I think its either openly or secretly everyone's dream. Sorry this is so long, didn't mean it to be
I dont have the words to describe how this video hits home with me. These are the best words I ever heard and the most wisdom and I am 73 years old now . I wish I could have heard this from you many years ago , but I am very thankful to hear and see it now. God has been better to me than I deserved many times , and other times I have plowed a lot of dirt with my nose because of my own poor choices . It takes some rough times to make a man really appreciate the good ones. Until you , nobody ever explained it as clear and it put a new light on my entire life. I thank you for that. May God continue to bless you and yours, especially that new grand baby and mom. Your channel is gonna go large , and rightfully so.
Came back to this video how many years later? It is my favorite. I had a wonderful dad. Wasn’t handed everything in life. Took me a longtime to figure out what I was doing so I didn’t have to keep dusting myself off. Thankful everyday for another day and the challenges. Thankful I met the Master.
Congratulations on the growth of your channel and your family. My Grandfather use to tell us kids, "It's not what happens to you in life, it's how you choose to deal with it". That advice has carried me through many a rough ride. Thanks Dwayne. Also, a big thumbs up to the new microphone!
Congratulations and God's blessings on you, your family, and especially your new grand baby. Thank you for sharing. your wisdom; from someone who drew a hard ride or two.
It took me almost 40 years to realize how well I have done in life. I got a BAD Bronc, but I have rode the crap out of it. I've done good. I wasn't able to see it until recently, but I see now. Thank you, once again Dwayne. God bless you and your family 🌺
I’ll tell ya. Lincoln was a weak ending. I expected you to point out the tough ride Christ had! Before he was born he was being pursued to kill. He was ostracized, tempted by the devil himself, mocked, denied, beaten, crucified, and all for you and me. He never once complained, yet wept and begged forgiveness for those who wronged him. Made the buzzer and a perfect score every round. Still today He is known worldwide and praised by masses ! That said you’re spot on as usual, and I really enjoyed the videos I’ve watched so far. Keep it up.
Thank you so much for representing Christ so well in your own parables about life and for filling in for my own Dad who while an excellent provider of material goods seem to fall short when it came to giving me spiritual guidance and carnal life wisdom. You are doing a great service for me and a lot of men under similar circumstances.
Love your philosophy! I am a cowgirl at heart and relate my riding to life. My profession is nursing. Things are crazy right now and I needed this kind of encouragement today. Thank you!
Thank you for your comment Brandy Robertson, I had always the feeling that at my heart I am not what I supposed to be (the everybody`s sweet-comfortable girl, which I performed well and hated it), more like a country girl. I left few months ago my fancy job that fitted perfectly to my expected self, to study nursing.
I know about riding those bad broncs and you're right on the money. Good things only happen if you get up, brush yourself off and try again. No other way to succeed. Thanks for spreading this message better than I could. Hope there are folks out there catching on. You remind me of Jordan Petersen who says exactly the same thing but at a Phd level. I'm glad you're here to speak the same truth plainly enough for regular people to understand. Keep it up please!
Dam bulls never liked me much...neither did the broncs. One good thing is... they don't have claws. The bad thing is...the judge was drunk. May the Good Lord help the whole works. Thanks a bunch, Dry Creek, for thinking session.
Good talk, thanks! I would extend the idea a little further: It's your ride and it's short, enjoy it with everything you've got. The bumps and bruises are a part of the ride. They're badges of honor for how you overcome. Be excited to ride, treasure your time in the saddle, in a blink of the eye the buzzer will sound and you're done. SemperFi!
“No money in easy rides” Dewayne, you have a way of looking at life & a knack for putting words together in a way that encourages us to do our best. So many times we are beat down by messages that leaves us feeling like losers with no clues about how to make things better. After enough of those encounters there is a tendency to just give up. How refreshing to hear all we have to do is just get back on.
Thanks for all the videos. I'm a jung south African farmer that fell in love with training horses and I like everything you talk about Dankie dat oom als met ons deel. Greetings from SA.
you have no idea how much i needed to hear this in the way you put it. thank you so much and congratulations to the momma and your family with a new member as well as the subs i will continue to share your videos. sending blessings your way
Love this. I had been bucked off a few "broncs" and limped off and I've ridden some out to the buzzer. In my 20s, I still have many more years to build on I haven't had an easy ride since I was little, but i couldn't ask for anything different. The man upstairs and my lady are a big reason why I keep jumping on the saddle everytime.
True words sir , good teaching , I was a strength athlete and worked hard physical job my whole life , I've had surgery and have more coming but I keep going , the Lord gives me strength for all, and I grew into a strong person for a rough ride and not an easy ridin, ...and would do it all over again
absolutely brilliant :) i have ridden a bad bronc for many years but I know God gets the glory, its been a tough ride but a ride well worth it , thanks DEWAYNE :)
Thanks for sharing the great advice and your gentle direction to the best way to improve the life of anyone listening. Congratulations on a healthy grandbaby! They are a blessing from God.
Like your bookshelf....I have all Capsticks's books...excellent reads....also an old Wyoming rancher I had a long working relationship with once told me "you saddled this bronc, now you get to rid it"....thank you for expanding on it
it seems that the more i watch, the more the "algorhythm" suggests. Which means, it's working for something good! Keep it up Duane! You are a absolute font of common sense and wisdom!
Great talk Dwayne. Congratulations on your new Grandchild, they are a treasure. I tell my 8 grand kids a shorter version of that story. It goes, when life throws you on the ground there's only one thing to do. Cather up your will power, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get back on. Keep the videos coming.
Congratulations to you and yours on new grandbaby Esther! If we’d have known how much fun our grandkids were going to be, we’d probably have just gone ahead and had them first…;). My two winter hobbies are running my trap line with a dog sled and rawhide braiding, so a tough bronc here these days is just as likely to end up 800 lbs. of dog meat and 300’ of rawhide string as ridden, at least by me. If we do get one that likes to buck and the kids or grandkids want to train it, we at least wait for a foot and a half or two feet of snow before climbing on. Doesn’t last as long and doesn’t hurt as much if they do come off. Good analogy of life’s “tough broncs”, too. In this life, you have to ride the one you draw not the one you wish you drew. As always, great job, and God Bless, Greg
Hey Dwayne! Thank you so much for your videos! As a psych nurse I can use so much of this for work. Some of your examples have come out in conversation with patients. I try to take a cowboy attitude to work.. and also to "watch my horse" when I communicating with my patients
Mr. Knowles, I wish there were a way to give this more than one "Like." We, who've had the privilege to discover and view your videos, are not the least bit surprised that you have 10,000 subscribers ... we're surprised it's not more. Bless you and your family ... congratulations on your new grand-daughter.
Excellent insights.. I had a bad bronc this last ride, but I made the buzzer, still waiting on the dismount, and figure I'll get a score when I get out of the corral... and I have no idea what the score will be, .. I was too busy just staying in the saddle.. lol..
Caught a few of your videos recently, and have been slowly working my way through the old ones in a mix of videos I listen to when I'm working on things and chores. Easy to see how you went from 10k followers just over 2 years ago to 45k away from a cool mil now. I can count on one hand how many people I've seen gain a big following without blowing up their egos out of proportion and starting a cult of personality. Adding you and my hand still has room for more. Hope you keep it up for a long time. The world needs more of you and yours.
Thank you for encouragement. This is a great video to start off my day! I come from an ordinary middle class family that always financial problems. Things were never straightforward and often times chaotic in my upbringing. Unlike most of my peers, whose parents paid for their college, and never had to face serious challenges; I had to pay for my own way through college (technical-community) and find productive, full time work to do early on. Now I work as an electrician, earning good money and still learning many life lessons from your videos.
Congratulations twice! 😄 Just to let you know, I had to use my headphones to hear you clearly. A little more volume might be a good idea. Keep 'em coming, my friend!
My wife and I have been enjoying watching some of your videos. Its refreshing to see and hear a man still holding on to the old values. This world is getting sicker by the day. Are you open to adopting grand children? Sure wish my son had a man like you to call grandpa.
A fantastic video! It’s amazing what God can do! Two months later and you’ve gone from 10k to over 20k subscribers! I’m just seeing this video today. Congratulations on the baby and the doubling of subscribers! You’re clearly doing something right! 😉 Thank you for explaining the scoring! Now when I watch, I’ll have a better understanding. I’m very grateful for that information! You’re so right about life being a rodeo! I’ve had to get up and brush myself off more times than I care to count! BUT, at least I’m learning to be a better “rider” with every fall. If you lay there in the dirt, all that’s going to happen is, you’ll get stomped!! So you better get up!!
Congratulations on the new grand baby and congratulations on the 10k subscribers. Dewayne I really enjoy all of your different content and I must say that I believe God is blessing you and your channel because you keep him first in all of your videos. Some people seem to be afraid to mention Jesus in public but you sure don’t mind it and I respect that about you. This channel is going to grow leaps and bounds if you keep it like this and keep it real. I think 40k is just around the corner.
Ain't no money in easy riding. Life bucked my ass off a month ago...spent a lot of time blaming others but turns out this time I just wasn't a good enough rider. Took this video for me to get up. Thanks for that.
I've always thought right along those lines but you tell it a lot better. It always helps to have a faith and a promise: "all things work for the good of .............." Keep a tight grip on the old apple, brother. Sometimes it sure is a help. Thanks.
Sir, your just a legend in my book. We are alike in ways that I know you don't "talk about" on your channel. Some of the "no no's" as you call it. I have learned alot. You speak like me but with wisdom. Thankyou.
Congratulations on the channel and the new grand baby. I am livin that rodeo. I am 61 an on disability, so is my wife, that’s one bronc. We have also adopted 4 grandkids, 4, 7, 9, an 12, another bronc, my ole busted up knees keep hitting the dirt, keep gittin back up an Dustin myself off , still waiting for that 8 seconds buzzer. Love this cowboy wisdom!
A year later and I’m watching all your videos with “how to deal with loneliness” currently sittting at 1.6 MILLION views and your channel at 517,000 subscribers, I checked social blade and you have averaged 2200 gained subscribers a day with tTENS of THOUSANDS of views. All I can think with every video I watch is I want all these metrics to hit 10 or hundreds of millions one day, men like are (although you are to humble of a man to properly admit it which is why we love you) are saving this generation of young and older men, I have had suicidal thoughts, been depressed and for years stayed stagnant and unproductive, I was meditating a day or two ago and I started crying, I realized how happy I felt, not simple the absence of depression but actual happiness and satisfaction in the fact I’ve truly started down the correct path, you may not beilieve you are as eloquent or well spoken as Jordan Peterson, you deliver your message with just as much purposeful intention and nuance and simplistic eloquence in a way that makes me immeasurably happy to listen to and absorb, Uncle Duh-Wayne we love you and although maybe unintentionally you’ve had an impact on such a large number of men that will echo through the halls of time, you are a good and respectable man and I hope this successful brings you success in such a fantastic way that you and mama will never ever worry about another bill again, You’ve earned it and wether it’s a view or a dollar or a share I can never repay fully for what you’ve done for me. (Side note, Duh-Wayne is a nod to his southern accent but also the fact that much of his advice when you hear it feels so obvious, like Duh you dummy how did you not see this before)
Hi Dewayne. I am new to the channel - it fell in front of me out of nowhere about a week ago while I was going through a hard time, right when I needed you. Since then I have been watching my way through every video on your channel. I'm no horseman, never even been interested in the subject, but I've been thoroughly enjoying learning about it, particularly through your philosophical filter. But your calm, honesty, and wisdom are so refreshing, and evidently (based on the feedback) something that a lot of people desperately need right now. In this video, only a year ago, you are celebrating 10K subs, and now you are blasting towards half a million! Can't think of anyone who deserves it more. You are a born teacher, and I am glad that your humble teachings have the opportunity to touch more and more lives. Endlessly grateful, wishing you and yours the best of health and happiness. Always looking forward to more.
My grandfather's best friend was Casey Tibbs I got the honor to be named after him. He was hell of a rodeo man and man in life boy did he love to joke and play pranks the stories I've been told and many I watched up until the day he died on super bowl Sunday he joked around shoot he even played one on my grandpa after he died having a friend call and say he was accidentally buried with a blue diamond ring of my grandfathers oh he was hot lol that ring was passed on to me. Respect to all I can tell Casey Tibbs stories all day cheers
That’s a hell of a message Dwayne. Just awesome it’s been barely a week since I discovered your channel and you really had an impression on me lol. I’m 26 year old man the last year or so I’ve really started to understand how much I just don’t know in life 😂 but that’s okay bc learning, work, the process is all a beautiful part of it glad to come across someone that know how to break it down so simple lol
This message crystallized your sound advice from my comment about running for the hills. I had thought I had watched all of your clips and came across this one and also the one where your son lost his horse along with his best saddle. You're a true Christian. Thank you for your teaching. I really needed to hear whatyou had to say about that. Very appreciative for it. I grew up riding a hard bronc because of my beginnings. The buck made me wiser and a better rider and lead me towards God's truth. God bless.
Watching this video makes me think about my Dad. Grew up lower class with an alcoholic father and an abusive mother, worked his tail off in college, flunked out of his first grad school because he was working three jobs. He likes to joke that by the time he got his Ph.D he had finished the 25th grade. He's the reason I'm able to be here starting my last year of college he's paying for. I hope I can grow up to be half the man- and half the father- that he is.
Love your words of wisdom sir! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. Good to know there are good, honest men left like you. Hope folks like us aren’t a dying breed, not for us, but for our kids & future generations. Amen
My favorite video you’ve made sir. I’m pullin a 12hr night shift and was suppose to bait bears tomorrow, getting ready for Missouri’s first bear season. Having a long night and was thinking of skipping baiting. But now I can’t wait to get off work make my hour and half drive and climb up them hills and get it done!
Like to listen to you without ever been a real Cowboy, spent just a few hours Horseback, had a few Cowboy Buddies back in the 80's in Stuttgart. Trying to live a Life like that what you're talking about is what I try to. It's Kind of funny back here in Germany. But when I listen to you it's a kind of living that has it's ways all around the World. You're right when you say some can be a Cowboy without wearing a Hat or Cowboy Boots (wich I do allthough). Thanks for all the Storys.
I clicked on this expecting to get some insight into the art of rodeo bronc riding. And ended up with a wise and gentle discourse on the nature of life. I've already subscribed previously to this channel though I haven't been on a horse in 50 years, I'm truly thankful that I have found this channel.
thank you for this message.. i heard you laud and clear.. and My Lord has been waiting for me to appear here.. God bless you and thank you for being faithful.. i needed this.
Congratulations on your new grandchild!! I love this video very very good analogy I like the way you explain things and I think there is a lot of people in the world that need to see this video and actually listen to what your saying I feel this is a good message for a everyone especially this day in time.
Hey Dwayne, I didn't have an upbringing in cowboying but I did grow up in farming, I do concrete work now. Alot of what you say rings true. You're an inspiration for me and you're wisdom is a breath of fresh air in these tryin times. Thank you, and keep up the good work.
I grew up easy riding. I didn’t face much challenge growing up. After highschool I started a construction job and horse care to challenge myself and am joining the Marines next month. Life isn’t as meaningful without challenge. Thank you for your videos. Congratulations on the grandchild.

Hello Dwayne.
I am Kevin Stuit.
I have been waiting a while to comment on your videos. I have a bunch to say.
I watched a few about a month or so ago. I could tell by your eyes you were a good man. My Dad taught me that the eyes tell ya more than the mouth .
He was a Cowboy from South Dakota.
Migrated to Lynden, Wa. When he was 14. He died a few years back. He could've listened to you all day. I have learned a lot and share several of your theories.
I learned from my Dad.
I road a lot as a kid till I was 11. I hade 4 brothers. We road. Grew up on a dairy farm with horses. Mostly mountain riding and some playdays
at the fair.
My youngest brother died when he was 10. I was 11 and we all pretty much quit riding for many years.
I got back into it a bit about 10 years ago or so. I am a divorced
52 year old dump truck driver. No kids.
1 Quarter horse and a Shetland miniature cross pony,4 cats and 2 heelers.
Your videos have inspired me tremendously.
When I watched God's roundpen video and I was real happy and not surprised that you were a Christian.
I could sense it before that video .
For me,
Life has been full a "Bodacious rides". I keep getting back on. Dang hard sometimes.
The timing of your video tonight was perfect for my last ride.
I went on a nice horse ride Saturday night and the rear end on my 1988 f350 blew up on the way home.
I have been mopin'.
I was gonna take a week off in late September, early October and explore your country.
Can't now I don't think cuz of costs.
Soon hopefully. I am curious as all get out. Would like to meet you sometime and your family. I would love to see where you work. If at all possible.
I know this is wordy but I gotta get it out. I apologize.
I look at taking care of and communicating with my critters as sheparding.
You have the same way. Not everyone does.
The closest I can get to being Christ like for me is taking good care of my critters.
And my Momma. She's 82.
I could go on and on...
Thank you sir, from the bottom of my heart.
You have a gift with critters and a gift for speaking.
You remind me a bunch of my PA.
Your spirit has moved mine.
God bless you and your family. Congratulations on another grand child!
This has been a bit difficult for me.

This is gold. Thank you for your time and for sharing your thoughts.
Wow- when he said 'There's no money in easy riding" that hit hard and like an arrow to the soul.
I love hearing your metaphors and analogies Dwayne. You have a gift at telling meaningful stories!
Came back to this video how many years later?
It is my favorite.
I had a wonderful dad. Wasn’t handed everything in life. Took me a longtime to figure out what I was doing so I didn’t have to keep dusting myself off.

You are doing a great service for me and a lot of men under similar circumstances.
I've always had these exact thoughts but never could find the words to share the message brother. I beat the odds and I'm darn proud and thankful.
Ya know I didn’t know exzactly where you were going with this. But I’m glad I stayed tuned.
Love your philosophy! I am a cowgirl at heart and relate my riding to life. My profession is nursing. Things are crazy right now and I needed this kind of encouragement today. Thank you!
Thank you for your comment Brandy Robertson, I had always the feeling that at my heart I am not what I supposed to be (the everybody`s sweet-comfortable girl, which I performed well and hated it), more like a country girl. I left few months ago my fancy job that fitted perfectly to my expected self, to study nursing.
I know about riding those bad broncs and you're right on the money. Good things only happen if you get up, brush yourself off and try again. No other way to succeed. Thanks for spreading this message better than I could. Hope there are folks out there catching on. You remind me of Jordan Petersen who says exactly the same thing but at a Phd level. I'm glad you're here to speak the same truth plainly enough for regular people to understand. Keep it up please!
Dam bulls never liked me much...neither did the broncs. One good thing is... they don't have claws. The bad thing is...the judge was drunk. May the Good Lord help the whole works. Thanks a bunch, Dry Creek, for thinking session.
Great analogies, even greater that you brought up the father, and congratulations on your grand baby!
Congratulations on your new grandchild. A wonderful and precious gift from our Heavenly Father🙌
Good talk, thanks! I would extend the idea a little further: It's your ride and it's short, enjoy it with everything you've got. The bumps and bruises are a part of the ride. They're badges of honor for how you overcome. Be excited to ride, treasure your time in the saddle, in a blink of the eye the buzzer will sound and you're done. SemperFi!
“No money in easy rides” Dewayne, you have a way of looking at life & a knack for putting words together in a way that encourages us to do our best. So many times we are beat down by messages that leaves us feeling like losers with no clues about how to make things better. After enough of those encounters there is a tendency to just give up. How refreshing to hear all we have to do is just get back on.
grats on the new baby - this i think is your best video yet, a very importrant message for eveyone - thank you
incredible lesson, I won't forget it
Congrats! All well deserved blessings on you and your family. You are doing the world a service by creating this content.
Thanks for all the videos. I'm a jung south African farmer that fell in love with training horses and I like everything you talk about
Dankie dat oom als met ons deel.
Greetings from SA.
One of the best analogies I've heard. Awesome and shared...
Congratulations on your new grandchild.
That was very good cowboy philosophy! Thanks Dwyane
I'm learning so much from these talks. Please do more of these. Thank you ☺
Mighty great comparison. A lesson for life for sure.
you have no idea how much i needed to hear this in the way you put it. thank you so much and congratulations to the momma and your family with a new member as well as the subs i will continue to share your videos. sending blessings your way
Love this. I had been bucked off a few "broncs" and limped off and I've ridden some out to the buzzer. In my 20s, I still have many more years to build on I haven't had an easy ride since I was little, but i couldn't ask for anything different. The man upstairs and my lady are a big reason why I keep jumping on the saddle everytime.
Congratulations on your new Granddaughter!!! Again you have spoken true! Thanks for sharing!
Good analoge
You never will experience joy without going through sorrow .. NEVER QUIT and never stop thriving towards your goals
Congrats on the 4th grand-baby and the 10K! As for the video, I've been bucked off many times, figuratively and literally. ;) Great analogy!
True words sir , good teaching , I was a strength athlete and worked hard physical job my whole life , I've had surgery and have more coming but I keep going , the Lord gives me strength for all, and I grew into a strong person for a rough ride and not an easy ridin, ...and would do it all over again
I Love this. Michael Martin Murphy says, "that's Cowboy logic". Great channel my friend and may God bless you and the Mrs.
1:18 looking back at it. You were humble about the 10k now you’re well over a million keep it up
absolutely brilliant :) i have ridden a bad bronc for many years but I know God gets the glory, its been a tough ride but a ride well worth it , thanks DEWAYNE :)
Thanks for sharing the great advice and your gentle direction to the best way to improve the life of anyone listening. Congratulations on a healthy grandbaby! They are a blessing from God.
Like your bookshelf....I have all Capsticks's books...excellent reads....also an old Wyoming rancher I had a long working relationship with once told me "you saddled this bronc, now you get to rid it"....thank you for expanding on it
it seems that the more i watch, the more the "algorhythm" suggests. Which means, it's working for something good! Keep it up Duane! You are a absolute font of common sense and wisdom!
Now you did the best comparison to Life in reality! This is now my most favorite video EVER
Great talk Dwayne. Congratulations on your new Grandchild, they are a treasure. I tell my 8 grand kids a shorter version of that story. It goes, when life throws you on the ground there's only one thing to do. Cather up your will power, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get back on. Keep the videos coming.
Congratulations on the new grandchild!
Those were some truly wise words that hit hard. Thank you so much!
Amen 🙏 good to see and hear that old school wisdom keep em up thats a great video right there.
This message is one of my favorites of your videos.
I watch to remind me why my keep putting one foot in front of the other on a daily basis.
Congratulations to you and yours on new grandbaby Esther! If we’d have known how much fun our grandkids were going to be, we’d probably have just gone ahead and had them first…;). My two winter hobbies are running my trap line with a dog sled and rawhide braiding, so a tough bronc here these days is just as likely to end up 800 lbs. of dog meat and 300’ of rawhide string as ridden, at least by me. If we do get one that likes to buck and the kids or grandkids want to train it, we at least wait for a foot and a half or two feet of snow before climbing on. Doesn’t last as long and doesn’t hurt as much if they do come off. Good analogy of life’s “tough broncs”, too. In this life, you have to ride the one you draw not the one you wish you drew. As always, great job, and God Bless, Greg
Hey Dwayne! Thank you so much for your videos! As a psych nurse I can use so much of this for work. Some of your examples have come out in conversation with patients. I try to take a cowboy attitude to work.. and also to "watch my horse" when I communicating with my patients
Mr. Knowles, I wish there were a way to give this more than one "Like." We, who've had the privilege to discover and view your videos, are not the least bit surprised that you have 10,000 subscribers ... we're surprised it's not more. Bless you and your family ... congratulations on your new grand-daughter.
Now that's deep! Your an amazing individual my friend.
I am at a loss for words, for how very good this is ! Thank you for sharing this!!!
Excellent insights.. I had a bad bronc this last ride, but I made the buzzer, still waiting on the dismount, and figure I'll get a score when I get out of the corral... and I have no idea what the score will be, .. I was too busy just staying in the saddle.. lol..
Caught a few of your videos recently, and have been slowly working my way through the old ones in a mix of videos I listen to when I'm working on things and chores. Easy to see how you went from 10k followers just over 2 years ago to 45k away from a cool mil now.
I can count on one hand how many people I've seen gain a big following without blowing up their egos out of proportion and starting a cult of personality. Adding you and my hand still has room for more.
Hope you keep it up for a long time. The world needs more of you and yours.
Thank you for encouragement. This is a great video to start off my day!
I come from an ordinary middle class family that always financial problems. Things were never straightforward and often times chaotic in my upbringing. Unlike most of my peers, whose parents paid for their college, and never had to face serious challenges; I had to pay for my own way through college (technical-community) and find productive, full time work to do early on.
Now I work as an electrician, earning good money and still learning many life lessons from your videos.
Congrats on the new addition and 10K, well deserved!!! Stay blessed.
Congratulations twice! 😄
Just to let you know, I had to use my headphones to hear you clearly. A little more volume might be a good idea.
Keep 'em coming, my friend!
Some times you hit the ground when it's frozen there's nothing you can do except push your saddle back up and get back on
I love watching Wayne. This ois probably this best one I have every seen. A great piece.
Congratulations on Your new Granddaughter 🙏✝️❤👨👩👦👦🥰👍
Congratulations on Your Channel Subscriptions!🙏✝️👨👩👦👦❤🐎👍
My wife and I have been enjoying watching some of your videos. Its refreshing to see and hear a man still holding on to the old values. This world is getting sicker by the day. Are you open to adopting grand children? Sure wish my son had a man like you to call grandpa.
A fantastic video! It’s amazing what God can do! Two months later and you’ve gone from 10k to over 20k subscribers! I’m just seeing this video today. Congratulations on the baby and the doubling of subscribers! You’re clearly doing something right! 😉
Thank you for explaining the scoring! Now when I watch, I’ll have a better understanding. I’m very grateful for that information!
You’re so right about life being a rodeo! I’ve had to get up and brush myself off more times than I care to count! BUT, at least I’m learning to be a better “rider” with every fall. If you lay there in the dirt, all that’s going to happen is, you’ll get stomped!! So you better get up!!
Congratulations on the new grand baby and congratulations on the 10k subscribers. Dewayne I really enjoy all of your different content and I must say that I believe God is blessing you and your channel because you keep him first in all of your videos. Some people seem to be afraid to mention Jesus in public but you sure don’t mind it and I respect that about you. This channel is going to grow leaps and bounds if you keep it like this and keep it real. I think 40k is just around the corner.
Ain't no money in easy riding. Life bucked my ass off a month ago...spent a lot of time blaming others but turns out this time I just wasn't a good enough rider. Took this video for me to get up. Thanks for that.
I've always thought right along those lines but you tell it a lot better. It always helps to have a faith and a promise: "all things work for the good of .............." Keep a tight grip on the old apple, brother. Sometimes it sure is a help. Thanks.
Congratulations on the addition to your family!
This is great advise, going to burn this into my brain.
Great video- truer words have never been spoken!!! Keep up the good work
Sir, your just a legend in my book. We are alike in ways that I know you don't "talk about" on your channel. Some of the "no no's" as you call it. I have learned alot. You speak like me but with wisdom. Thankyou.
WOW!!! This was your best video.. How awesome.... Love your channel.
There's no money in easy ridin'. The best and the most real motivational videos out there you have here Sir. Thank you! Greetings from Serbia!
Congratulations on the channel and the new grand baby. I am livin that rodeo. I am 61 an on disability, so is my wife, that’s one bronc. We have also adopted 4 grandkids, 4, 7, 9, an 12, another bronc, my ole busted up knees keep hitting the dirt, keep gittin back up an Dustin myself off , still waiting for that 8 seconds buzzer. Love this cowboy wisdom!
Congratulations and happy to hear family is well.
A year later and I’m watching all your videos with “how to deal with loneliness” currently sittting at 1.6 MILLION views and your channel at 517,000 subscribers, I checked social blade and you have averaged 2200 gained subscribers a day with tTENS of THOUSANDS of views. All I can think with every video I watch is I want all these metrics to hit 10 or hundreds of millions one day, men like are (although you are to humble of a man to properly admit it which is why we love you) are saving this generation of young and older men, I have had suicidal thoughts, been depressed and for years stayed stagnant and unproductive, I was meditating a day or two ago and I started crying, I realized how happy I felt, not simple the absence of depression but actual happiness and satisfaction in the fact I’ve truly started down the correct path, you may not beilieve you are as eloquent or well spoken as Jordan Peterson, you deliver your message with just as much purposeful intention and nuance and simplistic eloquence in a way that makes me immeasurably happy to listen to and absorb, Uncle Duh-Wayne we love you and although maybe unintentionally you’ve had an impact on such a large number of men that will echo through the halls of time, you are a good and respectable man and I hope this successful brings you success in such a fantastic way that you and mama will never ever worry about another bill again, You’ve earned it and wether it’s a view or a dollar or a share I can never repay fully for what you’ve done for me. (Side note, Duh-Wayne is a nod to his southern accent but also the fact that much of his advice when you hear it feels so obvious, like Duh you dummy how did you not see this before)
Hi Dewayne. I am new to the channel - it fell in front of me out of nowhere about a week ago while I was going through a hard time, right when I needed you. Since then I have been watching my way through every video on your channel. I'm no horseman, never even been interested in the subject, but I've been thoroughly enjoying learning about it, particularly through your philosophical filter. But your calm, honesty, and wisdom are so refreshing, and evidently (based on the feedback) something that a lot of people desperately need right now. In this video, only a year ago, you are celebrating 10K subs, and now you are blasting towards half a million! Can't think of anyone who deserves it more. You are a born teacher, and I am glad that your humble teachings have the opportunity to touch more and more lives.
Endlessly grateful, wishing you and yours the best of health and happiness. Always looking forward to more.
My grandfather's best friend was Casey Tibbs I got the honor to be named after him. He was hell of a rodeo man and man in life boy did he love to joke and play pranks the stories I've been told and many I watched up until the day he died on super bowl Sunday he joked around shoot he even played one on my grandpa after he died having a friend call and say he was accidentally buried with a blue diamond ring of my grandfathers oh he was hot lol that ring was passed on to me. Respect to all I can tell Casey Tibbs stories all day cheers
That is so true the harder the life the more struggle but the more you learn
Wonderful news about your grand baby brother, grace and peace.
GOD BLESS. MUCH LOVE. HOPE EVERYTHING GO WELL FOR YOU AND YOUR SCHOOL.
"Ain't no money in an easy ride." Those are word to live by, and more folks need to understand.
That’s a hell of a message Dwayne. Just awesome it’s been barely a week since I discovered your channel and you really had an impression on me lol. I’m 26 year old man the last year or so I’ve really started to understand how much I just don’t know in life 😂 but that’s okay bc learning, work, the process is all a beautiful part of it glad to come across someone that know how to break it down so simple lol
Greetings from Wyoming! Love the videos..
bless you brother, may the lord bless you and your family
Lol,3/4/5 points rolled up in 1 story ,like the makings of a good cigar..
Great storyteller.
Thank you Dwayne for these videos. Just wish more see these. God bless
This message crystallized your sound advice from my comment about running for the hills. I had thought I had watched all of your clips and came across this one and also the one where your son lost his horse along with his best saddle. You're a true Christian. Thank you for your teaching. I really needed to hear whatyou had to say about that. Very appreciative for it. I grew up riding a hard bronc because of my beginnings. The buck made me wiser and a better rider and lead me towards God's truth.
God bless.
Watching this video makes me think about my Dad. Grew up lower class with an alcoholic father and an abusive mother, worked his tail off in college, flunked out of his first grad school because he was working three jobs. He likes to joke that by the time he got his Ph.D he had finished the 25th grade. He's the reason I'm able to be here starting my last year of college he's paying for. I hope I can grow up to be half the man- and half the father- that he is.
Love your words of wisdom sir! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. Good to know there are good, honest men left like you. Hope folks like us aren’t a dying breed, not for us, but for our kids & future generations. Amen
Best life advice ever! Thanks for the post!
My favorite video you’ve made sir. I’m pullin a 12hr night shift and was suppose to bait bears tomorrow, getting ready for Missouri’s first bear season. Having a long night and was thinking of skipping baiting. But now I can’t wait to get off work make my hour and half drive and climb up them hills and get it done!
Like to listen to you without ever been a real Cowboy, spent just a few hours Horseback, had a few Cowboy Buddies back in the 80's in Stuttgart. Trying to live a Life like that what you're talking about is what I try to. It's Kind of funny back here in Germany. But when I listen to you it's a kind of living that has it's ways all around the World. You're right when you say some can be a Cowboy without wearing a Hat or Cowboy Boots (wich I do allthough).
Thanks for all the Storys.
I clicked on this expecting to get some insight into the art of rodeo bronc riding. And ended up with a wise and gentle discourse on the nature of life. I've already subscribed previously to this channel though I haven't been on a horse in 50 years, I'm truly thankful that I have found this channel.
thank you for this message.. i heard you laud and clear.. and My Lord has been waiting for me to appear here.. God bless you and thank you for being faithful.. i needed this.
Congratulations on your new grandchild!! I love this video very very good analogy I like the way you explain things and I think there is a lot of people in the world that need to see this video and actually listen to what your saying I feel this is a good message for a everyone especially this day in time.
Hey Dwayne, I didn't have an upbringing in cowboying but I did grow up in farming, I do concrete work now. Alot of what you say rings true. You're an inspiration for me and you're wisdom is a breath of fresh air in these tryin times. Thank you, and keep up the good work.
Congratulation on the new Grand Baby and 10K.
