Transcript
You spike the ball, and then you gotta do some motion with it. Can you do that? I'm good. We are outside of Nashville, Tennessee today, and we've just taken over this barn with the whole Better crew filming a video, and we're trying to guess who the real farmer is. On the panel, I'm on with Jesse, Johnny, the far end, we had CY, and then we had Zoe as well. Zoe was on it. She knew everything, in terms of, like, the numbers. And, I I don't know. It was just like, cool. Just like picking her brain, leaning on her and all the advice she gave us. Yeah. It was tough because we had, six contestants come in acting like they're all farmers and then, they all had a backstory and it sounded real and legit. Then they go through challenges and stuff. Juggling corn was hilarious. You know, every single person did it a little differently. Some people did it pretty well though, for not being farmers. Good was sweet. Mulching, you know, hauling it over, trying to put a a fence post in the ground and then trying to connect a PTO into the tractor. So it was just fun seeing, you know, the fake farmers run around and then make us guess. We got to a point where we're like, alright. We need some kind of additional help. We need someone that knows what they're talking about to really hone in on some details and help us make the right decision. So we we called him the big dog. We got Jackson in. Jackson, what'd you think? What'd you think about it? I think it was good. Yeah? I didn't expect best to be the real farmer. And then at the end when we found out it was the real farmer, did it feel good? Yeah. Did you celebrate pretty good? I just sat there. Oh. Sat there and smiled. I mean, I'm not a big emotional high low person. Okay. Thanks guys for watching, and I hope you guys enjoy the video.
