No, we're pretty close. I went off to college, was going to pursue a career in aviation, was planning on being a pilot. That sounds fun. Did some Air Force ROTC for a few years, was going to be a fire pilot. And then I decided to change that to air traffic control. I was going to be a controller in a tower.

flower in a tower they call it yeah and then in the process of waiting for a job with FAA I was back at home and the farm was growing quite a bit during that time and there was a lot of need of help and I just sort of stopped applying for the position and started farming so not that I didn't grow up on the farm but that's kind of how it took me back to the farm and then in about 2000

10, 11, we were getting close to our 100-year centennial for the farm. We homesteaded, or official papers, or 1912. So I wanted to do something special for the farm, so we got the first GoPro Hero ever made, the very first one. And we went together and bought it together, and I stuck it to everything I could, made a video, put it up on the internet.

It did really well for a year's worth of farming. And then we had our Series 1 first big bud that my grandfather bought. one of the first ones made and it was due for a major makeover. So I was like, well, that'd be kind of fun to do a time lapse of this, put it to a time lapse, put it up on YouTube. That did very well. Kind of got the whole big butt thing really sparked up again.

And from then on, it was just like, this is kind of fun throwing videos together and putting them on the internet. And a couple of years later, it morphed into the vlogging style where instead of pointing the camera at the tractors, we're turning the camera out and pointing at us, which is not totally awkward at all. But it's been quite an experience.

And then it just, I don't know, it just doesn't make sense to me, but it just kind of kept taking off and people kept watching. And so we just started making videos and man, it's been 12, 13 years since we've really been doing it strong. And so that's what's brought us basically to this point now, which has been quite a journey.
