This you Center Stage Clayton
sellers is taking his love for
bull riding to the big leagues.
He had to perform every second
he has taken some lumps along
the way back the first big boy.
I got on it.
He bucked me off very quick and
he stepped on the side of my
head now.
He‘s talking about his success
and how I did when I tried to
mount up.
it Okay, I can you see my heart
that she‘s got hands right now.
for Clayton Sellers, and I have
sympathy for you that he had to
critique your ride.
That was ridiculous.
Hey, hello everyone.
Welcome to Florida‘s fourth
estate.
I‘m gender Gadsden.
I will not be on a bull this
week.
You‘re the only one.
I‘m at Austin glad to have you
with us.
We have one goal for the
interview this week and that‘s
for ginger to keep her clothes
on.
Okay, we‘ve got I‘m just
kidding.
We have a cowboy.
Do we need to start over?
We have a cowboy who is the
ladies are gonna like and plenty
of gentlemen, too.
He there is not a whole lot to
not like he‘s adorable and he
said I could say that about him.
is fantastic and once you see
him, he‘s not just visually
pleasing he‘s He‘s super smart
and he‘s good at what he does
which is bull riding, but we of
course have to start with the
headlines.
Okay this week really
interesting stuff happened and
one of them is sort of a big
time talker, maybe bad timing on
the case of the Orlando Eye so
you know, this is on
International Drive in Orlando.
There‘s this big ferris wheel
out there.
Well, they decided.
Hey, maybe this is a good time
for us to start allowing people
to shoot sort of like a little
laser gun at Targets on roofs of
buildings.
You know, this is maybe a week
after that Chicago shooting so
people had some mixed emotions
about this like it all.
In a kids to be doing that.
It‘s fun for the kids.
And I think they would enjoy it
and it is kind of a place where
the kids come and it‘s more like
a game, but that‘s how I grew
up.
so if you work at Icon Park,
you‘re probably saying hey look
your kids play fortnite and Call
of Duty and everything else and
we just wanted to have a fun
little game for people to do up
there if you‘re like a lot of
people looking at this saying
well, the timing is terrible.
There was just a shooting so
Ginger it‘s sort of caused some
mixed emotions this week.
What caused a lot of mixed
emotions and I don‘t even know
if it was so much the timing as
people just thought in general
with mass shootings on the rise
in this country that it was just
in and then with the the picture
they head of the girl smiling
and kind of holding the gun.
You know, it just it just hit
some people the wrong way.
Yeah, the Optics were certainly
not good.
It is sad to me, you know, if
that happened 10 years ago.
None of us would have thought
about it at all, but and because
of the timing because of what is
going on today, you know, you
just super sensitive about
things that are happening not
just in our backyard, but around
the world, but speaking of
happening.
backyard, you know, we always
have Florida man, But today
we‘ve got Florida woman to talk
about there is a woman who there
she is and I feel terrible for
her because Apparently she was
trying to sell some teddy bears,
but the way she went about it
was all wrong.
This happened in Lake County.
She was outside of a public and
she not only had the teddy bear.
She was trying to sell.
She also had a pitchfork and a
whip this so if you don‘t buy
these teddy bears it‘s being a
bad way.
Worst case of would you rather
deputies got her and they
apprehended her and arrested
her, of course because you just
cannot be out in front of a
public or anywhere for that.
Matter with a pitchfork a whip.
Trying to sell your teddy bears
it one.
That‘s a terrible sales tactic
not gonna work.
Apparently she wasn‘t even in
front of the public.
She was actually in the back of
the Public‘s trying to get
people to buy these teddy bears
and then, you know police say
she was highly intoxicated with
the words.
I feel like that goes with us.
Yeah, you know, we don‘t have to
jump to too many conclusions on
that.
Yeah.
that. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Let‘s change gears to something
just straight up adorable that
happened.
There‘s not a creature in
Florida more likeable many of
the creatures can kill you here
Manatee.
Never gonna kill you.
In fact, they‘re gonna try to
play with you.
So this happened right off the
coast of Fort Pierce.
Oh my goodness.
Just take a look at this.
This kid was surfing.
And the manatee comes up and
just playing around with them
and then at one point grabs.
surfboard with its little
flipper and starts almost
surfing manatees are the most
adorable creatures on Earth.
I want to give it a try.
They‘re harmless.
They‘re sweet.
They are adorable.
They‘re charm. They are very
Charming.
Okay and speaking of charming.
Here‘s a guy that has Charmed
people for a long long time and
you may know him by his
skivvies.
Oh, he‘s okay.
He looks naked there, but he‘s
the Naked Cowboy.
He‘s Cowboy but he‘s wearing
tidy whities and he was at bike
week and Daytona Beach.
this was last year and he was
arrested for panhandling.
So let‘s let‘s listen to The
Exchange he had with officers.
Hey sit down on the edge of the
front of the car, you know I
said coming here for 20.
Wow, so his real name is Robert
Burke, but you know as the Naked
Cowboy he filed a lawsuit
against Daytona Beach and one
ninety thousand dollars.
They agreed to pay him because
he said that they just they were
aggressive and you heard the
officer things have changed.
It‘s like what is change she‘s
been doing the same thing.
20 years.
he‘s harmless, you know Naked
Cowboy is one of those jobs you
feel like when you‘re young
you‘re ripped up.
You can go out there and sing in
your underwear, but you have to
know at some point.
There‘s an end game here.
We can‘t do it forever.
Do you feel like naked cowboys
sort of coming to the end?
Sort of getting it pants Cowboy

to it.

thanks for having me.
Hey buddy, it‘s our pleasure.
So Florida isn‘t known as being
like this hot spot for bull
riding Clayton, but you are a
bull rider.
I‘ve noticed your ranked in the
top 25.
Congratulations on that.
Yeah.
How did you get started riding a
bull?
Most people don‘t even know how
that‘s possible.
man, now you kind of Hit the the
now on the head there not many
people think of Florida when
they think of the sport of bull
riding, but um, you know to
contrary there‘s quite a bit of
rodeo athletes in state of
Florida.
and just cowboys in general.
So that‘s kind of how I got my
start.
You know, my family is Cowboys
and ranchers and Now I grew up.
riding horses and working cows
and just being around the sport
and being around.
the cowboy lifestyle You know
that kind of evolved into riding
bulls and calves and I was young
and You‘re not started getting
better and better and better and
I end up getting a rodeo
scholarship.
Go to college.
And from there, I got really
serious about it, and there‘s
kind of carried into my pro
career.
My God who knew there was a
rodeo.
There‘s a scholarship for
everything, but I never knew
there was a rodeo scholarship.
Okay, so, you know, I‘ve seen
video of these kids who get
their start and they‘re usually
writing like some sort of farm
animal like a sheep.
Did you ever do that?
Because you got started like at
seven, right?
Yeah, of course, of course.
Yeah.
I started I started riding
sheep, you know mutton busting.
Yeah.
You know you‘re Superstar out
there right now sheep across the
arena the crowd screaming and
people pick you up and you wave
of the crowd, you know, that‘s
right after I started and then
you know from there you get on
calves and young bulls and
stairs and yeah, that‘s a big
progression though from you know
from mutton bust into like a
giant bull.
I‘m you sat on top of one of the
one of those Bulls.
What did you think?
What was that like?
You know.
There‘s not really a whole lot
of clarity of thought that a lot
of thinking going on.
I mean there‘s a lot of thoughts
on race.
here, but you‘re kind of Frozen
in time and You‘re just kind of
acting sure.
How long did you hang on that
first time?
You know, I couldn‘t tell you
probably the second half two
seconds.
I don‘t know.
Yeah, very long.
No.
Yeah, right.
That‘s my actually thinking back
the first big boy.
I got on it.
He bucked me off very quick and
he stepped on the side of my
head.
Oh cut my head from here all the
way clear back.
I thought golly it‘s gonna be a
long long career, but every time
you go and you get into that
shoot, you know, you could get
badly hurt or worse.
I‘ve seen the movie eight
seconds.
So tell us what kind of engine I
mean, you‘re all you‘re a young
man early 20s, What kind of
injuries so far?
Have you had chasing this dream?
Yeah, of course that thoughts
always in the back your mind.
It‘s possible and it happens.
For me, you know what I gotta
thank God above because I‘ve
been very very fortunate in my
career, you know.
I‘ve had a few small injuries.
Nothing serious.
I had a knee surgery two years
ago.
I was MCO ACL surgery.
but for the amount of bulls that
I‘ve been on in the caliber
bulls that I‘ve been on and you
know, the things I‘ve done in my
career.
I‘ve been very fortunate.
Okay, so Clayton, I just learned
that you‘re you‘re engaged you
you‘re getting married in this
year in November or something.
Is that right?
Yes, ma‘am.
Okay.
So what is your feet and she‘s
beautiful by the way stunning.
What does your fiance say about
all of this?
Obviously, she she knows what
you do for a living but you know
does she does she come into your
mind every time you get in there
or is she just she‘s I know
she‘s on your team.
She‘s on your side.
So but you‘re engaged now,
that‘s another responsibility.
Right.
Yeah.
Right. Yeah. it‘s another responsibility, but
it it‘s kind of another support
system there too.
You know, she‘s a Been around
the sport long enough you
understand the dangers.
So a lot of people don‘t know
this, but I have a little bit of
experience riding a bull you and
I were pretty much Kindred
Spirits except for there‘s one
dance.
I wrote a bull one time and
decided that that was the last
time I was ever going to do this
in my life because it was crazy.
I people we can talk about it
all day.
You can watch it on TV, but
until he lived I did survive
until you have been on a bull.
I will never forget.
I always thought like oh, yeah,
these guys are a little crazy.
You don‘t realize how much skill
it takes until you‘re like so
I‘m on this bull and I‘m gonna
show you video in a second.
This was 10 years ago.
I was a much younger Dumber
human and which I did this
segment where I tried to ride a
bull with absolutely no training
or experience.
This is when I realized like
this is for real and I think I‘m
gonna die when they open this
gate so fresh Gary and there,
isn‘t it?
Yeah.
It‘s so scary.
It‘s probably the scariest
moment of my life and then so so
we‘re gonna have you analyze all
the skill I brought to the table
here in the actual ride.
Now.
It‘s gonna be fast or shut up.
All right.
Yeah, so we look really good
right now look bad.
Okay.
This is the best I Look to do
it.
Ready go.
Like yeah.
Oh, okay.
So initial analysis I could see
your face while you were
watching me pretty much worst
case scenario happened right?
There was there you didn‘t you
didn‘t just let go, you know, it
out.
We‘re sitting a little far back
and we could have been sitting a
little closer up.
But no no, but the heads the
scary part I didn‘t want to be
near that.
fair enough wow, that you know
just looking at that it I hope
people have a great appreciation
for what you guys do because
it‘s not just some guy sitting
up there with a bunch of Brawn
holding on it really does take
some skills to to do that.
Yeah, so there‘s a great
appreciation for for the level
where you are right now and one
of the best to do it right now
too, so that‘s that‘s fantastic.
Yeah.
Yeah as I progress more and
more, you know, there‘s more
things.
I learned.
It‘s crazy how how technical
this game is and a game of
inches to you know, it‘s a lot
like golf to me because You
know.
go up and so so precise, you
know, it‘s it‘s a game of
millimeters, you know, it‘s you
know, if you‘re one one inch
behind in a boat ride.
That might might cost you the
whole thing.
It might cost your teeth.
