TUPELO, OK -- Oklahoma is known for its severe weather, its song, and its football teams. But it's most recently been recognized as the home of two of the more famous cowboys on the planet, Jet and Cord McCoy.
How has life changed since the two competed on "The Amazing Race?'
News on 6 Anchor Tara Vreeland met up with the Cowboys at Cord's ranch in Tupelo.
It sounded like a lot of fun. That's what brother's Cord and Jet McCoy said lead them to pull on their boots and pack their bags for a race around the world.
The reality show relay took the cowboys out of their southern Oklahoma comfort zone.
But neither the Professional Bull Rider nor the former saddle bronc rider shy away from a good challenge.
Reality television came knocking at the perfect time. The PBR World Finals had just wrapped up in Vegas and the horse show season had slowed.
"If you moved it two weeks in either direction we wouldn't have been able to go on the race," Cord said. "We'd missed Christmas. I know. You can't miss Christmas. I like Christmas."
In the end, they took second place, missing out on a million dollar prize by mere minutes.
But now that the show is over, the brothers from Ada say nothing is as sweet as home sweet Oklahoma.
