In this episode, today’s episode is a special one—it's Tork’s birthday, and Sawyer isn't letting that milestone slide quietly. They kick off the show with a candid, unscripted vibe (even tossing the usual intro aside) and jump straight into good-natured ribbing, birthday shoutouts, and Tork’s reflections on 54 years of life.
Sawyer and Tork talk about everything from starting new gym routines together, attempts at healthier living (with a few hilarious cereal confessions thrown in), and what it’s really like keeping up healthy habits as you get older. The guys also dive into a thorough market update, sharing the latest on corn, soybeans, hogs, cattle, and more—plus some big news about expansions in the meat industry and what it means for rural communities.
But it’s not just markets and muscles. Tork gets deep, sharing hard-earned life lessons about struggle, consistency, and the importance of discipline (with a little help from Denzel Washington’s wisdom). The conversation rolls from business tips and time management hacks to why coaching—even for tough, independent farmers—might just be a game changer.
And, of course, what would a celebration be without a whiskey minute? The episode wraps up with a toast to memories made and lessons learned, both in the barn and out.
