I am back here 8 00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:31.359 in the very very fine studios of Pod Popular Podcast 9 00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:33.960 for the People. I'm at the one in Boca Raton, Florida. 10 00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.119 Very nice here this time of year. If you got 11 00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:40.759 some miles saved up, go to Boca Raton, Florida. Anyway. 12 00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:48.240 I I remember about eight years ago. I don't remember 13 00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:51.119 the circumstance. Maybe I got a resume or something and 14 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:56.280 the name on the resume was like Amber or Brittany 15 00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.479 or something like that, and I just assumed that person 16 00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:04.359 was good looking because of the name, which is insane. 17 00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.959 You know, no offense any names out there. I just assumed, 18 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:10.840 And there's no way that should correlate at all, that 19 00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:13.920 like no offense to a Martha or something like that, 20 00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:17.560 but that there was a name on it, and you 21 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:20.760 just assume certain names go with attractive people. I don't 22 00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:23.239 know why that is. There's also a thing that I 23 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.920 was thinking about that certain occupations are more attractive, and 24 00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:29.000 I don't think it has anything to do with money. 25 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:31.439 And I'll get into the ones that I think from 26 00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:34.640 male perspectives like, oh wow, she must be hot because 27 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.879 of that. And I've always been fascinated by the jobs 28 00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.439 that women are attracted to. So I'm bringing in a 29 00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.319 pro who has so many insight and all that. She 30 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:48.280 has been on this podcast before. She's doing a lot 31 00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.920 of good work for what we eat and how we 32 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.920 eat it. She's known as the farm Babe far and 33 00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:56.319 wide Michelle Miller. How are you, hey, good? 34 00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:57.040 How are you doing? 35 00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.879 That's a thing right, Women are like, I wanna fireman, 36 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.239 I want a cowboy, I want a farmer. I want 37 00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:06.400 a baseball player. I know a girl who married a 38 00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:08.960 baseball player because she thought he's gonna go pro. He 39 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.080 doesn't go pro. He teaches high school baseball and coaches 40 00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.319 high school baseball. He teaches Jim. She's just like, I 41 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:18.159 don't know, I always want to marry a baseball player. 42 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:21.479 Yeah, and the chances of them making it are so slim. 43 00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:22.879 Right, So that's why I think I don't think it's 44 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:23.639 about the money. 45 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:27.560 Yeah, not necessarily, but there's definitely some sexiness to something 46 00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.560 like that. Okay, On the topic of names, numbers are 47 00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:33.919 usually really pretty, but what guys, Hi, Guys named Luke 48 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:34.759 are really hot. 49 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:37.080 Yeah, that's a good point. 50 00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:37.879 Luke's are hot. 51 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.280 I would think a Dylan is better looking than a 52 00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:44.240 Bob or Brian, you know, I think so. Like, I 53 00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.719 think that's so bizarre because you're just deeming. And most 54 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:51.240 of the time the parents have chosen the child's name 55 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.039 before they even born, not like they looked at him like, 56 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.479 oh I got a hot daughter. She's Tiffany. 57 00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:58.280 Every Amber and Luke listening right now is so stuffy 58 00:02:58.280 --> 00:02:58.639 they are. 59 00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:00.719 I know. I think if you have a op opera name, 60 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:03.840 you're just better look at in walks. McKay, that's a 61 00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:06.680 good looking guy's name, right, Yep. If your name McKay, 62 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:10.360 I think you're better looking than if you're just Joe. Yeah. 63 00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:12.919 Probably no offense to Joe. That's how screwed up we are. 64 00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:18.240 That's how we project hunting. I wish I was named McKay. Yeah, anyway, McKay. 65 00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:23.520 On the controls back there do fire fireman farmers. There 66 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:26.759 was a show about farmers dating recently, right, I can 67 00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:28.319 talk all about it all right, we'll get into that 68 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.759 in a second. Was that show called Farmer Wants a Wife? 69 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:34.000 Farmer Wants a Wife and then one of the bachelor's 70 00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.120 souls was a farmer. Like, there's a thing. Do farmers 71 00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:38.039 make good money? 72 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:42.280 They can, but generally speaking, not too much. I think. 73 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:44.120 You know, you can look at it and say, oh, 74 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.240 that farmer made a million dollars last year, but they 75 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.240 don't tell you that the input costs were like one 76 00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:49.319 point one million. 77 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:50.680 You know what I mean, right, And you know that 78 00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:54.360 subsidies and dinner. But supposely if you have land, you 79 00:03:54.479 --> 00:04:00.199 have a farm, you have property, you have animals, something 80 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:02.000 that is attractive. I don't. 81 00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:05.199 Yeah, I mean like asset rich and cash poor is 82 00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:07.960 generally how you can put it. You know, like if 83 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:11.840 they sold out, they'd probably you know, make millions of dollars, 84 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.000 but it's all tied up in the farm and they're 85 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.120 implements their tractors and stuff. And there's a lot of 86 00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:19.240 myths around the subsidy thing too, Like I think a 87 00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:21.560 lot of people think that they get all these crazy subsidies, 88 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:22.439 but that's really not true. 89 00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.920 Yeah, I think that if if there's a bad rainy season, 90 00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:27.680 or there's a drought, they just get a check anyway 91 00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:28.839 from the government. Is that not srue? 92 00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:32.360 Not necessarily, No, it's it kind of varies by region, 93 00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:36.800 but generally speaking, it's like a cost share program for 94 00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.279 like their crop insurance, so like they have to carry 95 00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:42.199 these massive crop insurance policies if their crop is damaged, 96 00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:45.040 but that's really expensive, and then the government might say, well, 97 00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:46.839 like we'll pay for part of that, or they might 98 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.000 do like if they're doing a conservation program, they might say, well, 99 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:52.120 it's twenty five dollars an acre to do cover crops, 100 00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:53.639 but we're going to give you fifteen of that just 101 00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:55.680 because it's good for the environment and the planet and stuff. 102 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:57.959 So they're trying to like encourage more environmentalism. 103 00:04:58.079 --> 00:04:59.879 See Great Love listeners. You come here for the love 104 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:03.240 and we give you farm subsidy information. You never know 105 00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:07.959 what you're gonna get here. You're a female. Is it 106 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:14.639 something about women? On one hand, have you know, preferences 107 00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:16.399 on whether they did a white collar guy or blue 108 00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:21.839 collar guy or whatever, But almost overwhelmingly they are attracted physically, 109 00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.759 sexually or whatever to the blue collar guy, to the 110 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:27.759 guy who can get a little dirty, the guy who 111 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.279 can work with a tool set, the guy who's not me, 112 00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.680 the guy, that guy who can fix shit. Is that 113 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:36.439 something that goes back to he can take care of 114 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:39.199 not just me, but whatever I need? Oh? 115 00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.199 Yes, absolutely. I think it's so sexy. And I think 116 00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:44.480 to it depends upon how you're raised. Maybe, you know, like, 117 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:46.160 I don't know if this is true. What are your 118 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:49.639 thoughts on women are attracted to men like their fathers. 119 00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:52.160 Do you think there's truth to that, because that's something 120 00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:52.839 people say. 121 00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:56.000 I don't know. My dad was an interesting dude. So 122 00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:59.040 he was an engineer background worked at IBM, which is 123 00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:04.120 the traditional dark suit, white shirt, buttoned up as you know, 124 00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:07.879 Fortune five hundred company or whatever. But he could also 125 00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:09.439 build and fix anything. 126 00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:10.360 That's cool. 127 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:13.560 I got neither of those skills from him or whatever. 128 00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:15.560 But I always have been like, wow, I don't I 129 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.240 was always like, where did he learn that? How did 130 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:18.800 he learn that? 131 00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:19.240 Under that? 132 00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:21.560 Why is there something that he knows how to do 133 00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:24.439 with tools? He didn't go to, you know, And it's 134 00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:25.959 just the way his brain worked that I think he 135 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.519 had to like doing it and doing it. I think 136 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:32.000 that probably is an attractive attribute that somebody. You know, 137 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.360 there's something I'm pretty good at figuring shit out, but 138 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:40.040 I'm not pretty good at, you know, waxing a boat, 139 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:45.240 you know, Right, But there's something be said, like you 140 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:49.519 see a man who has a a very defined occupation 141 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.399 and a very unique skill set and is something like 142 00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.639 I am going to physically work hard. I think that's 143 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:57.000 a good thing. If you have a job where you 144 00:06:57.079 --> 00:07:00.000 have to get up at early, I think that's attractive 145 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.160 and a human being because the laziness isn't gonna kick in. 146 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.160 Yeah, I think so too. And you know, I think 147 00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:06.079 about like the way I was raised, Right, if you 148 00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:08.240 think about women are attracted to men like their fathers, 149 00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:10.480 Like my dad is pretty cool. Like my dad can 150 00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:12.959 do anything, Like he's really hard work or he's retired. 151 00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:15.439 He can't sit still. The guy's like seventy years old 152 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:17.480 and he just rode his bike for seventeen miles, you 153 00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:19.120 know what I mean. Like he's just he's a beast, 154 00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:21.360 like in the best way possible. And I'm like, I 155 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:23.720 need to find a guy that's cool like my dad, 156 00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:26.199 that's like funny and works hard and it's smart and 157 00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:27.759 like takes care of me, you know what I mean. 158 00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:29.879 So is that what's about it's about the getting up 159 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:35.160 in the working hard is ambition? Is ambition the word sexy? Yeah, yeah, 160 00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:35.920 I think it is too. 161 00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:38.600 Yeah, Like, you know, two of my exes are farmers, 162 00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:42.639 right and yeah, and I'm talking to another farmer now, 163 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:45.000 Apparently I have a type. And they're all corn and 164 00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:47.240 soybean guys, by the way, Like, what the heck? 165 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:50.120 Oh, so you have a specific type within a type. 166 00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:52.240 I mean, not that I'm trying to be you're like 167 00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:53.079 cattle person. 168 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:56.199 Well no, I mean they've raised cattle too, so yeah, 169 00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:56.600 a little bit. 170 00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:00.879 They're very talented farmers. Gorn zybe get the milk out 171 00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:04.319 of the cow has some attractiveness beef cattle. 172 00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:06.319 You know a lot of dairy cows are milked by 173 00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:07.399 robots nowadays. 174 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.519 I'm sure they are. They are. So a guy who 175 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.199 deals a cattle guy is both a farmer and a cowboy. 176 00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:15.519 So no, not necessarily, that's just so like a rancher 177 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.879 would be like somebody that has thousands of acres where 178 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:21.680 they're more pasturrais like a cow calf like where they're 179 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.639 but beef cattle farmers are more like feed lots where 180 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:27.959 you're finishing them out for Marketwaight, and then you also 181 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:30.439 have cowboys, which are the guys that check on the cows. 182 00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.039 So you have a ranch, the cowboys, the guy on 183 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:33.399 the horse. 184 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:35.440 A farmer's not a rancher, but a rancher is kind 185 00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:38.240 of a farmer. They're both working land. 186 00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:43.759 Yeah, I mean, there's definitely some differences, but it's yeah 187 00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:44.679 six and one half time. 188 00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:46.799 So if you see a guy in a sports car 189 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:48.960 or you see a guy on a two hundred thousand 190 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:51.759 dollars tractor, you're turned on by the tractor. 191 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.360 The sports car is fine too, you know, I don't know. 192 00:08:58.519 --> 00:08:59.039 I guess I. 193 00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:03.720 Guess what I'm getting at is, I don't think it's 194 00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.960 about the money. I think it's about the what we said, 195 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.759 the ambition. It's about working hard. I think that is 196 00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:16.960 a attribute that is positive in anything because it means 197 00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:22.240 I can count on this person to be motivated by themselves. 198 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:25.039 They are motivated to get up in the morning, get 199 00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:28.399 a job done, do that. I always like that, always, 200 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.440 I always. You know, there's a lot of guys who 201 00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:33.639 are very lazy and sort of fall ass backwards into 202 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:35.600 a lot of money, especially in you know, I was 203 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:37.399 in Hollywood a long long time. There's a lot of 204 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:40.039 people who are morons and they fail upward and they 205 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:43.840 get money. And if I'm a woman, I almost said girl, 206 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.120 and everybody gets mad when I say girl. A girl, 207 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:51.440 you're initially attracted to maybe the flash of it, or 208 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:53.679 the cash of it, or the watch or the car 209 00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:56.720 or the house. But is there a core There is 210 00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:58.720 there a core work ethic that's going to been like 211 00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.000 when we are married and we have three kids and 212 00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.120 we're struggling here, that you're going to figure out a 213 00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:04.840 way to get it done. Yeah, And I'm not sure 214 00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:06.519 Hollywood agent's doing that. Yeah. 215 00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:08.639 And I think the other thing too about farming and 216 00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:12.000 agriculture is that they're very family oriented people, which is 217 00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:14.000 also very sexy, you know what I mean. So it's 218 00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:16.919 like they there's not a lot of good looking single 219 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:19.600 farmers out there because they all get married when they're 220 00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:21.440 twenty and they have like one hundred kids, you know, So. 221 00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:24.159 There's there's oh they're not single, but they're good looking 222 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:24.679 but married. 223 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:26.879 Well, yeah, there's a lot of good looking, like married 224 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:29.159 farmers out there for sure. Yeah. Like I go on 225 00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:31.480 farm tours all the time, and I'm like, oh, that's 226 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.360 so much. It's so easy to listen to him talk 227 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:35.960 because we're also so easy on the eyes, but just 228 00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:36.840 nice guys. 229 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.480 So I drive when I drive through America and I 230 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:42.879 see these farms, I'm like, where do these kids go 231 00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:46.559 to school? Where? Cause you seem like you're very isolated 232 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:49.320 where you go to You're not going to Trader Joe's. 233 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:51.519 I don't know where you're going to the store. Like 234 00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:55.639 where you're going, you're fairly isolated. So the family unit 235 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:58.279 probably matters. The people that you interact with are the 236 00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:01.159 people you're working with on your farm and the family. 237 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:03.720 Yeah, where I was farming, I used to farm in 238 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:06.960 northeast Iowa, and there's so many small towns that the 239 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:10.360 name of the high school was called MFL Marmack, which 240 00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:13.200 was Minona, Farmersburg, Gluayna, Marquette. 241 00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:15.080 And McGregor everybody combine. 242 00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:18.679 It's literally like five little farm towns. And yeah, shout 243 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:20.120 out to anybody from and. 244 00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.200 If you have a farm and it's been, it's been 245 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:25.039 you know in your family for generations. You're not just moving, 246 00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:26.759 you're not just packing enough. And like, you know, I 247 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:28.000 think I'd like to live in Hartford. 248 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:29.480 Yeah, there's there's stability. 249 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:31.440 There is stability and you're like, this is what I'm 250 00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:34.159 going to do. It's my job to raise the family. 251 00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:37.919 I could see how that can be attractive. Yeah, the 252 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:40.120 problem is the numbers. You're not. There's not a nightclub 253 00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:42.360 full of like fifty farmers, right. 254 00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:42.960 No. 255 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:44.840 Or if you do see a bunch of farmers, they 256 00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:48.200 probably worked their ass off all day and they're drinking 257 00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:49.440 nine beers at five o'clock. 258 00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:50.960 There is some truth to that too. 259 00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:52.360 Well that it was funny. 260 00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:53.960 You know my ex Doug that I was with for 261 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.039 like seven or eight years, we were farmers together and 262 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.600 that's when I started my farm Babe social media platform. 263 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:01.039 And yeah, I mean he met me in Florida right, 264 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.559 like I was his bartender. He was on vacation. It's like, yeah, 265 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:05.440 how do you meet women? You meet? 266 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:07.399 Right? How do you mean you know? You know you're 267 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:09.240 fairly I say, it's like guys who work on a 268 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.919 on a ship. We're in Florida right now. If you 269 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:14.080 look out on the coast here, there's these big freighters. 270 00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:16.960 How many people are on those? And how long are 271 00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:17.639 they on those? 272 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:18.080 Yeah? 273 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:19.879 Are they just sitting out there for months? Is it 274 00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:21.879 eight dudes? Is it fifties at one? Really? 275 00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:24.039 Yeah? And then they come back to the land and 276 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:26.279 they just spend stupid money at the bars. 277 00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:29.600 Now do farmers have a lot of time off? 278 00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:33.320 It depends what they farm and when. If you are 279 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:36.000 not a livestock person, then yeah, you can get away 280 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:38.799 like in the winter, you know. But uh, it depends 281 00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:42.200 climate matters, what they're what they're doing matters. I remember 282 00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:47.320 so my ex and I Doug he uh, he actually 283 00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:49.480 got rid of his livestock. This is the first year 284 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:52.600 that he hasn't had livestock, which is so weird. He 285 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:54.840 and I are still friends, and I was in Iowan 286 00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:56.639 a business trip, like I don't know, a month or 287 00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:59.360 so ago, and I popped in and it was so 288 00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:02.879 weird to see no animals. But He's like, yeah, but 289 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:04.600 I have a little bit more time. I'm getting close 290 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:07.679 to retirement. Like I'm like, so you can do whatever 291 00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:10.519 you want now in the winter. But you know, when 292 00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:13.559 he when we had livestock though, it was like also 293 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:17.279 we were raising lambs and calves, and there is nothing 294 00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:21.919 sexier than like this big, rugged, strong, calloused hand farm boy, 295 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:23.519 like handling. 296 00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:24.559 Water delicate calves. 297 00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:29.320 No, not flaughtering, just like like nursing or helping them 298 00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:33.679 like when a when a newborn, when a newborn lamb 299 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:36.320 is like struggling and is sick, and he's like out 300 00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:38.320 there at two in the morning with like bottle feeding 301 00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:41.639 this lamb that's struggling. You know, it's really sweet. Like 302 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:43.960 we had we would bring lambs into the house like 303 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:46.120 by the fireplace to warm them up or like take 304 00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:47.519 care of them. And you know what I mean. It's 305 00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:51.679 like there's a lot of there's a lot of sensitive things. 306 00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:55.799 Yeah. Viticulture, Yeah, somebody who owns a winery or they 307 00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:56.480 a farmer. 308 00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:58.919 Yeah, like a grape grower. Yeah, they would call him growers. 309 00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:01.840 Now, somebody brought this up to me on a podcast 310 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.919 I guessed on They said that they like men in 311 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:11.399 those occupations. I think they were a bourbon maker because 312 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:15.200 they have to have incredible patience for payoff. A bourbon 313 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:17.600 guy might have to wait years to see if the 314 00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:20.320 fruits of their labor turned in anything. Same with the winemaker, 315 00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:23.039 same with a farmer. That you are not getting immediate 316 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.120 result of your labor and patience is a very good 317 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:30.720 quality to have in a relationship, I think. 318 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:33.840 Yeah, And it depends again, it depends what you're growing 319 00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:36.960 when where you know where you're selling it to, you know, 320 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:38.879 I know, I was just out at a vineyard in 321 00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:43.440 Washington and they were selling something. They were making their owns. 322 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:45.200 They were able to process it right away. But then 323 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:47.600 they also sell direct, so they would sell off to 324 00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:50.039 the distributors, which would then go off to like you know, 325 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:52.399 like a cupcake wine or you know, something like that. 326 00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:54.279 So all right, I got to take a quick break 327 00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:56.799 so we can pay for wine and things around here. 328 00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:59.559 I am here with the farm babe Mi Selle Miller. 329 00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:02.120 We were talking about what people do and why we 330 00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:04.519 like it, and I've got a little interesting point to 331 00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:07.480 make when we come back after the break, right after 332 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:18.720 this and we are back, So if somebody farmers are 333 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:21.000 also there's science involved. They're very educating. You know, there's 334 00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:22.919 a lot of education that goes on. You learn a 335 00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:25.399 lot growing up in it, but you there is a 336 00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:29.159 lot to go you're a meteorology, there is all kinds 337 00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:31.840 of things in there, and you have to balance it 338 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:35.879 with instinct and you have to balance it. So you know, 339 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:38.559 we're talking about farm because that's your specialty. But there's 340 00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:42.720 something attractive about somebody who has mastered a craft, no 341 00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:48.200 matter what that is. Yeah. The old film critic Roger 342 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.360 Ebert once said that one of the most interesting things 343 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:52.440 in a movie that's underrated is to watch something do 344 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:54.679 a job. Somebody do a job that you're really not 345 00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:58.039 familiar with, like a safe cracker, like a glass blower, 346 00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:00.440 somebody who's like, I don't know how how they do that. 347 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:02.120 I never seen them do it. And it's you know, 348 00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:05.559 they spend six minutes in a movie showing that, and 349 00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:08.639 we're all fascinated. 350 00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:10.240 By stuff like that, right, Yeah, for sure. 351 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:13.759 If somebody went and spent a day at a farm, 352 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:16.960 they would have no idea how this happens. 353 00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:18.000 Yeah, it's so cool. 354 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:18.480 I know. 355 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:20.279 I love what I do.

I go 359 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:29.519 to a farmer's market or a street fair anywhere in 360 00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:32.840 the world, and it is cheap. Farmers market in America 361 00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:34.600 is the most expensive place to buy food. 362 00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:38.639 Why is that There's usually a lot more costs involved 363 00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:41.720 in like the processing and the shipping and the packaging, 364 00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:42.720 and then there's all. 365 00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:44.679 Something so there is when you send it to the store, though, 366 00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:47.440 So why is a farmer's like the farmers market is 367 00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:50.879 because Americans are fooled into thinking fresh means more money. 368 00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:53.279 Yeah, I think there's some truth to that too, but 369 00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:56.559 you know, it's like they also have to hold licenses 370 00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:58.720 and certifications, and then you have to pay your market 371 00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:00.600 fees and there's a lot more money, and then with 372 00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:03.679 your sales and marketing, your social media, your time, you know, 373 00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:06.279 but your one business running all of that. Whereas if 374 00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:08.480 you're mass producing it and you're selling it to just 375 00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:10.720 a wholesaler, it's like a one stop and they're buying 376 00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:13.039 everything for like cheap, and that's how they're able to 377 00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:14.359 mass feed the world. 378 00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:16.000 Well, the reason why I'm a fan of a farmer's 379 00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:18.000 market is not just because I'm fat and I like 380 00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:20.559 free samples.

Hotter than a girl at a cheese stand. Yes, 394 00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:05.359 I agree. Sampling and you know, be a little more 395 00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:08.160 generous with the toothpick farmers market people.
