Discover Luke Combs Semi-Retires, Carrots Get Canceled & NASCAR Goes Green

Ep 211 | Howdy DISCOs 💃 Natalie and Tara tap into a cultural shift that hits home for many: Luke Combs’ decision to scale back from full tours in favor of family time, as the country star headlines festivals instead of touring city after city. 

Then it’s straight into the trenches of wellness influencer misinformation, this time featuring a viral claim that… carrots aren’t food? We also dive into Trader Joe’s fertilized eggs going viral (can you hatch them?) NASCAR’s pivot to sustainable ethanol fuels, thanks to the Iowa Corn 350, and of course, some honest reality TV debriefing as Farmer Wants a Wife heads into the home stretch.
