NEW: The Sport Where Nobody Gets Booed

PBR bull riding is unlike anything else you will sit in an arena and watch, and the reason has nothing to do with the spectacle. Shane Hewitt spent the weekend at the Professional Bull Riders event and came back with an observation that is harder to shake than the backflips and fireworks. In every other sport, there is someone to boo. A rival team, a bad call, an opponent to root against. Bull riding has none of that. One rider, eight seconds, and every single person in the building cheering for the same outcome.

The culture behind it runs deeper than the event itself. The camaraderie between competitors, the way the crowd shows up, and the three men whose only job is to put themselves between a cowboy and a bull the moment the ride ends. It is a world that rewards showing up and paying attention.

Later in the show, Ryan O'Donnell brings moving tips from a recent apartment move, including one time-related lesson that had nothing to do with money and everything to do with a broken elevator on day one.
