Hello all,
English subtitle excerpt from the movie 'A night in old Mexico' (2013)
Scene: Grandson and Grandfather in the front-seat of a car with two hitchhikers in the back-seat.
The grandson is showing off about his bull-riding skills.
The grandfather is embarrassed and takes a sideswipe at him.
But, for Christ sakes, what does “had a rod and pick in his nose in one hand” mean ?

What I understood of the last sentence is that riding a mad bull is no problem for a cowboy as good as his grandson, he even is able to do other things while riding it.Grandson - I tell you this.
Grandson - Yeah, he was a mean one... (the bull)
Grandson - Oh yes sir. You put hair and horn on a stick of dynamite, you get the idea.
Grandfather - Christ sakes. (mumbling)
Passenger- You rode him now, huh?
Grandfather - Yeah, a buckaroo like him, had a rod and pick in his nose in one hand
Grandfather - and scratches his little red hiney with the other.
But, for Christ sakes, what does “had a rod and pick in his nose in one hand” mean ?
