Transcript
This story starts about six months ago when my wife started showing me pictures of cows. And I told her, Kayla, we don't have space for cows. And she was pretty upset about that. So for the next six months, I negotiated and chatted with my neighbor about selling me his farm behind our worse, which better a lot of headaches and a lot of money, we had finally sealed the deal. And it was official. Me and Kayla were officially farmers, and now she can get those cows she's always wanted. And now we have no shortage of space. So if you guys have any recommendations for farm animals, please better hear them. No I can confidently say this is my dream house. The cows are gonna love it out here. I can't believe we're never gonna have to pay for beef again. We're not eating our cows. Here, we didn't get a farm to not eat the cows. I want pet cows. You don't get pet. That's not a thing when you want pet cows. I want a pet cow. I'm not eating that.
