When Liam fills in as a reporter, the school soon falls in love with Liam's life on Hunnicutt Farms.
Synopsis[]
At the middle school, the Action News Team is doing their usual report. Rusty announces that today is Crikey's birthday, and Chef Pat has baked him a cake to celebrate. When Pat reveals the cake, Crikey and Rusty end up getting into a fight over who should get the first bite. Realizing they still have several minutes to go for the segment, the crew tells Liam, the cameraman, to stall for them. Liam proceeds to use up the time by showcasing several fascinating stories that happened at his farm.
The next day, Liam arrives to the newsroom, where his friends reveal that they have gotten a large stack of letters from their viewers, where they reveal that they have become fascinated by Liam's bits from yesterday. This gives Lincoln the idea that Liam should dedicate a whole segment of the news to his life on the farm, to which a humbled Liam agrees.
Liam begins to showcase life on Hunnicut Farm.
Soon, Liam begins to showcase all of the different things that happen at his farm with his new segment, "Life with Liam", whether it's making a mess while making grits for breakfast, taming a wild bronco, giving his sheep cool hairstyles, and making boysenberry jam with his feet. As a result, Liam becomes a celebrity at school, as the students now flock to him to get his autograph and be inspired by his life on the farm. However, his moment of fame proves to be short-lived, as after several days, Liam is now considered old news, as the students have fallen in love with a new segment hosted by Chef Pat called "Beef Boxers", where she has Crikey help her tenderize meat. Unwilling to lose his newfound popularity just yet, Liam decides to stretch the truth by creating outlandish stories on the farm, like staging a horse stampede, a mutant zombie pumpkin chasing after him, and the birth of a pig/chicken hybrid. These fake stories manage to propel Liam back into the spotlight. When Clyde comments that everyone can't wait to see what Liam has planned next episode, Liam realizes that in order keep his fame, he has to keep his charade going.
For Liam's next segment, he prepares to stage a runaway tractor down a hill, but he will lasso it and save it before it hits the pond. However, as Liam sets the plan in motion, he finds that Mimi has fallen asleep inside the tractor and is now in danger, so he mounts his horse, Barb, and chases after it. He successfully manages to save her, but the tractor sinks into the pond as a result, which results in Liam receiving a two-year punishment in extra farm chores.
Rusty is healed and ready to get back to work...
Only to cause trouble for Crikey all over again.
When Liam returns to school and shows his blog to the Action News Team, they find that he is no longer creating fake stories and instead showing the farm's everyday life, which receives little views. Rusty uses this opportunity to take action again, only to accidentally make Crikey spill his ice cream and get beaten up by him all over again.
Liam has a mule named Daisy and a horse named Barb, who both look identical.
Mimi's legs always fall asleep whenever she falls asleep in the tractor.
Mimi wears a wig.
One of Liam's horses recently gave birth to a foal named Sugar Cube.
Rusty once made up the Royal Woods Middle School Reporter of the Year Award and gave it to himself.
Liam's family makes boysenberry jam by squashing boysenberries with their feet in a vat.
Irony:
Despite Liam intending to stage the tractor tragedy, it became a real emergency when he discovered that Mimi had fallen asleep inside the tractor.
After Rusty got his bandages removed, he regained confidence to become a reporter again, claiming that he was the content audiences would really want to see. However, when Zach began shooting his segment, Rusty bumped into Crikey and became the victim of a kangaroo attack, and Crikey had previously surpassed Liam's segment in terms of popularity.
