In honor of the NFR, we're bringing back one of the most badass rodeo conversations ever recorded. This is a special throwback episode from Logan's old show, because when the National Finals Rodeo is happening, there's no better time to revisit a story like this.

In this episode, Logan is joined by Tim O'Connell, the 3x World Champion Bareback Rider and one of the most dominant cowboy athletes in modern rodeo. Rodeo runs deep in Tim's blood, and you'll hear that from the very beginning of his journey.

Tim walks us through his early days as a bull rider, the pivotal wreck that made him realize bull riding wasn't his future, and the moment he shifted into the bareback world—where he ultimately became a champion. We talk about the mindset, the injuries, the physical toll, the adrenaline, and what it actually takes to compete at the highest level in rodeo.

You'll hear about:
• Tim's start in rodeo
• The brutal bull riding wreck that changed his direction
• Why bareback riding "clicked" and how he found his groove
• What the bareback rigging actually does to your body
• How elite cowboy athletes train and stay in the fight
• Insights into the rodeo lifestyle during NFR season

Tim completely opened our eyes to the reality of professional rodeo, the cowboy culture, and the grit it takes to be the best in the world. With the NFR in full swing, We figured there's no better time to bring this story back to life.

A brand new episode will still drop Friday morning, but enjoy this special NFR-week release with one of the greatest bareback riders to ever do it.

In this week's episode of Talk Dirt To Me, Logan and Bobby Lee start the show talking Stranger Things plus how insanely wild 1980s movie age ratings were. You know the ones, movies rated PG that somehow slipped in nudity, language, and scenes that would 100% be R today. It's a hilarious look at how different things were back then.

Next, we jump into listener questions, beginning with a deep dive into Bobby Lee's cattle feeding ration. He breaks down exactly what he's feeding, the results he's seeing, and why he may be changing up his ration formula moving forward. Great insights for anyone running cattle or trying to improve efficiency.

From there, Logan discusses a certain man online promoting a "cheap corn hybrid" he claims is performing great… while conveniently skipping over his lengthy history of fraud, scams, and shady business practices. Farmers thinking about bargain seed will want to hear this one.

Then we dig into a hot topic:
Is it actually profitable to grow your own hay, or is it smarter to buy it?

That leads into a bigger debate:
Which would be easier to step into from scratch; managing a herd of 100 head of cattle or farming 500 acres of row crop from start to finish?
Logan and Bobby Lee compare workload, risk, equipment, cash flow, and learning curve to give a no-BS answer.

Finally, Logan shares the full story of the big buck he recently killed, including the score, and the hunt.

If you're into farming, cattle, row crop economics, hunting, rural life, or just good conversations, this episode has something for you.

In this Thanksgiving episode of Talk Dirt To Me, Logan and Bobby Lee dig into the truth behind Thanksgiving food traditions and why turkey wasn't actually the star of the original feast. We talk family, food, and the surprising history behind what early Americans really ate.

We also open up about gratitude during tough times, and how even in a challenging year, farmers and rural families have more to be thankful for than we often realize.

Then we dive into listener questions, covering:

• Best corn seed brands & varieties to plant across different farms

• Marriage advice for soon-to-be newlyweds

• Why you shouldn't aim for "home runs" in farm marketing

• The importance of consistent singles and doubles to build long-term success

Our Made in the USA company of the week is ScentThief, an innovative American brand changing the game in scent control.

Whether you're sitting around the Thanksgiving table or in the tractor cab, this episode brings perspective, humor, and real-world farm wisdom.
