Random Facts
Yes I asked Josh to be on the show, don't ask me what I was thinking. I just figured anybody with Josh's elevated IQ would be nothing but an asset. They say elephants are smart but I would hate to drag one of those around Europe too. (Just kidding, Josh was a great partner I just need to razz him a little bit.)
I speak American not English, (though English is a pretty language). Besides, most folks out there think I don't talk anyway. Who do you think Josh is talkin' to when he is speaking most of the time, yep that's right, me. Josh and his brother take after their mother, they have never met a stranger and they have no problem telling you what is on their mind. I just know when to keep my mouth shut, (no offense Josh).
Thing I regret most about the race? Not one damn thing.
Would I do it with Josh again? In a New York minute. Don't forget I chose Josh, he didn't choose me. Besides we were a made for TV combination. His irressitable manners and charm along with my good looks and chatty personality, how could we miss?
I have come to realize the meaning of the universe and it is this: Batman is the greatest superhero of all time. Why, you ask? Because what superhero has no superpowers and is still considered a superhero, Batman who else? Batman defeats his opponets by using his mind, ergo anyone could be batman if he uses his head. I rest my case.
Favorite clothes? No I do not wear the stuff I wore on the show, you know the zip off pants, come on who really wears those anyways? They were my wife's idea. Lets just put it this way, if Old Man Strauss or The Wrangler outfit ever make a good pair of ropers, hold on hanna.
Unlike Josh I do have gas in my house, they don't call me whistle britches for nothin you know.
I too have eaten food off the floor, I suspect you have all heard of the floor cake incident.
I love ball caps and wear them all the time, I feel naked without one, even when I am naked I have been known to put a cap on first. I work with youth at risk, mostly gang members. It's a thankless job but I have a lot of Karma to burn off.
When Josh was a baby he had a really hard time learning to say hamburger, he pronounced it hangaberger. Took him about 15 years to get that right. (just kidding Josh.)
I build models for stress relief, mostly superhero ones like batman, superman you get the idea. I've won a few awards for my creations, how pitiful am I?
I grew up in Oklahoma on a little farm outside of Purcell. Joined the Future Farmers of America (my favorite subject in school by the way). I did the whole farm kid thing, hauled hay, cut wheat, worked as a ranch hand, you name it. I always wanted to be a farmer. I finally got my wish. I now raise kids.
On the weekends I like workin' around the house, chasin mom, all that good stuff, hey don't say it's gross, how do you think his mother and I got Josh and his brother Adam.
I have been married for 24 years wonderful years. Now that Josh and Adam have moved out I have a lot more chasin' mom time.
I got a lot of comments from people I don't know commenting about our Race saying, " I see Josh where's Steve"? Some of you said that I had no personality, or I never talked , or I did a terrible job raising my son. Well I see your point, but I still think your full of shit.
I will say this and it is the only truly sincere thing that I have to say, I believe everyone is good and everyone is flawed, it's just that some people's flaws are more evident than others.
