In this second installment with Mike Duplissey, Doug Simcox dives deeper into Mike’s remarkable rodeo journey — including his move from the IPRA to the RCA, Marilyn’s NFR push with her horse Dan, and unforgettable behind-the-chutes stories. Mike opens up about the early days of Loretta Lynn’s rodeos with Bruce Lehrke, his lifelong friendship with Lecile Harris, and the infamous streaking incident that nearly got him blackballed. He also shares how he and Marilyn became the faces of Ely Walker western wear, landing a long-running advertising gig that brought rodeo into mainstream catalogs and magazines. Be on the lookout for more episodes with Mike as his story continues.
