The 2026 Farmin’ & Football Tour makes its final stop in Columbia, Missouri 🐯🏈
The Like A Farmer crew go all-access with Mizzou Football for a behind-the-scenes look at a program entering the season with something to prove. Head coach Eliah Drinkwitz is mic’d up at practice before sitting down with Pat to talk about Mizzou’s expectations, adapting to the constantly changing landscape of college football, building around a new quarterback and offensive coordinator, and why the connection between farming and football runs so deep throughout Missouri.
New Mizzou quarterback Austin Simmons joins the show to discuss transferring from Ole Miss, overcoming adversity, his baseball background, and why he believes Columbia is the right place for his next chapter.
Missouri native Langden Kitchen takes us back to his small-town and farming roots, from mowing yards at 11 years old and stacking hay to making the jump from Division II football to the SEC and playing for the program he grew up watching.
Plus, Ol’ Bart fires up the Mill Scale and feeds the Tigers as we wrap up our first Farmin’ & Football Tour.
Tough. Physical. Something to prove. This is Farmin’ & Football: Mizzou.

Comedian and content creator Danae Hays joins the Like A Farmer Podcast for a hilarious and surprisingly inspiring conversation about Alabama, softball, going viral, Southern culture, and the unconventional road that led her to comedy. Danae takes us from playing softball at the University of Alabama and calling games for the SEC Network to trying careers in real estate, pharmaceutical sales, and even a pyramid scheme before a prank call exploded on TikTok with roughly 27 million views and changed everything. She tells the incredible story of lying to her agent about having stand-up experience, only to discover her very first comedy show would require her to headline for an entire hour and why surviving that night made her realize she'd found what she wanted to do with her life. Danae also talks about growing up listening to Southern storytellers at her dad's Alabama gas station, buying her own 10-acre mini farm, why she believes country culture is cool again, Nashville's growing comedy scene, social media's impact on entertainment, her Mount Rushmore of comedians, Ella Langley, the prank call that nearly got her sued, and what's next as she sets her sights on TV, film, and her Southern Variety Show. Plus, Danae shares a powerful message about not finding her true calling until 30, trusting your purpose, visualization, prayer, and why it's never too late to chase the life you want.

Then, in this week's Georgia Boot segment, Ross sits down with longtime friend, former No. 1 jackman and current Trackhouse Racing pit crew coach Shane Wilson for an emotional conversation about their early days grinding through NASCAR together, Shane's journey from racing go-karts to working at the Cup Series level, and the difficult decision to step away from pit road and hand his job to Josh Appleby. Plus, Ross previews Phoenix Raceway, discusses why this year's race feels different with the championship moving back to Homestead, and makes his predictions for who will ultimately win the NASCAR Chase.

The voice of PBR, Matt West, joins the Like A Farmer Podcast to take us inside more than two decades of professional bull riding and the incredible growth of the sport. Matt shares his unlikely journey from a shy kid in Oklahoma to one of PBR’s most recognizable voices, breaks down legends like JB Mauney and Lane Frost, and discusses the rise of John Crimber, Jose Vitor Leme and the next generation of bull riding superstars. He also dives into PBR Teams, the impact of TKO, UFC and WWE, the evolution of rider safety, celebrity fans discovering the sport, and what it truly means to be a cowboy. Plus, Matt reveals his Mount Rushmore of bull riders, recalls the toughest night of his broadcasting career, shares his personal transformation from nearly 300 pounds to opening his own gym, and explains why he believes the future of professional bull riding has never been brighter.
At just 20 years old, John Crimber is a PBR World Champion and he's nowhere close to finished. The bull riding phenom joins the Like A Farmer Podcast to take us inside his incredible journey from getting on his first bull at just six years old to reaching the top of professional bull riding and capturing the 2026 PBR World Championship. John relives the dramatic World Finals where he entered the final weekend after bucking off four straight bulls, bounced back with two massive rides, and how he learned he'd become World Champion. He also reveals what a 20-year-old cowboy does after earning a $1 million World Championship bonus. John talks about growing up in a bull riding family, the impact his dad has had as both a father and coach, joining the PBR immediately after turning 18, and why becoming World Champion hasn't made him satisfied. He wants MORE, including chasing multiple world titles and attempting to become the first rider to capture the PBR and PRCA World Championships in the same year. From million-dollar buckles to buying cattle, John Crimber is helping lead the next generation of professional bull riding and the World Champion is just getting started.
