hi Isabelle how are you hi I'm great. thanks how are you uh we're doing. terrific we were told this might be a. difficult connection because you're. coming from kind of a rural area is that. right I am I'm in Appalachia I'm in. southern West Virginia wow Souther yeah. the internet's body okay but you you. have internet well clearly um I don't I. don't have internet or sell service at. my house so um my church was kind enough. to let me use the office here okay so. you have no no internet no sell service.

at home you drove to your church and. you're using their self service that you. can talk to us right now from West. Virginia yeah wow that's uh that's. pretty amazing thank you for going to. all that trouble I'm just curious if you. have no cell service at home and no. internet um are you able to listen to. this podcast regularly yes so I'm. actually a huge fan I'm a day one. listener I've been I've been living. rurally since 2018 without regular self. service at home and podcasts you can.

download while you're in town and then. listen to them at home so they're my one. like real form of entertainment so yes I. definitely listen regularly oh that's. well first of all that's kind of I love. that I love that that's cool you know. it's it actually as a fan you're making. more of a commitment because how long a. drive is it for you to get from town to. home it's about 30 to 40 minutes I can. imagine you getting home after 40. minutes and you've got your freshly. downloaded uh Conor BR needs a friend.

podcast and listening to it and going oh. God that wasn't worth 10-minute drive. maybe wait I have a question do you have. more than one podcast you listen to and. if so you must have limited time in town. what's the like ranking or priority of. podcasts that you download you know what. I mean yeah that's a good point I do. because I do have really limited S Serv. in town too so it takes a while to. download so I tried to do a mix of. comedy and then educational things I.

used to just always have like um I. listen to True Crime a little bit but. now I have a toddler and no free time so. I can't really put that on the speaker. same with you guys and all of your. cockaroo jokes I've had to I can only. listen to it when he was asleep I know I. keep saying we should have an infant. friendly show a toddler friendly show. and um we're trying but we can never get. there is it a boy or a girl your child a. boy Gideon I have another one almost. almost here okay oh congrat congrat.

ations uh I think Gideon needs to learn. about True Crime I think it's time. Gideon learned that there's bad people. out there and there's murders that need. salvin and so. uh two years superhero twoyear old yeah. well tell me a little bit about your. life because this fascinates me you were. living um out on a farm I'm guessing in. in rural in a rural part of uh Western. Virginia is that right West Virginia. yeah rural West Virginia um Southern. West Virginia my husband and I moved.

here um with Gideon two years ago we. moved here to start a farm we're both. first generation Farmers so we're kind. of learning it as we go along together. we moved here from uh Northern. California after the Dixie fire so we. kind of uh just landed on West Virginia. and are are rning to live here that is I. I have to say I am very impressed. farming. is difficult it's really hard work it's. it's difficult and the fact that uh uh.

that you and your husband are taking. this on I think is very cool and. impressive what kind of stuff are you uh. trying to grow on the farm thanks um so. we're hoping to get to the point of. self- sustainability right now we um. bees were our first major project we. have 13 beehives um we raise chickens we. have beef and um dairy cows we've had. turkeys. Ducks um we're just trying to get to the. point where we can either grow grow or.

raise all of our own um food good God. that's very imp that is impressive to be. completely self- sustaining that is. something I will never achieve in my. life I need constant I don't know if I. will either but it's uh we're working on. it and especially right now I have to. say I'm less helpful in my third. trimester I've kind of taken a backseat. to all of the dirty farm chores well I. think you have a pretty good excuse I. have found that I my rules for survival.

is there have to be four Whole. Foods within strolling within strolling. distance six. ATMs um a multiplex uh the list goes on. and on but these are just this is just. hardcore simple survival for me those. are the only places I will hike or Camp. there areas that have let me say I enjoy. a whole food for sure and the trader. does yeah it takes death uh I also need. soft serve ice cream available at the. drop of a hat.

I need an REI nearby you can make your. own ice cream and then it's even better. and unlimited this sounds uh this sounds. impressive tell me about the livestock. you said you've got some real livestock. I don't know anything about cows nothing. I know nothing about cows I know that's. where the milk comes from and that's all. I know yeah so um I didn't know anything. either it's been a fun learning process. right now we have five cows so we have a. small herd um actually two of them are. cows which means that they um have had. calves so they are mil producers Betty.

and Penelope we have two um that were. raising for beef Chestnut and midnight. and then we have one heer which means. she hasn't had a calf yet and then we. have two calves Bor or due this winter. baby season let me ask you a question. this may seem stupid but to the ones. you're raising for beef somewhere in the. back of their minds do they know yeah do. you treat them differently like you. don't get emotionally close to them like. a new recruit have they noticed that you. won't look them right in the eye you're. always hugging milk cows do they often.

show you a picture of their girl back. home yeah and you're like I don't need. to see that yeah you know I hate to say. it but yeah they I think that there. definitely some emotional distance there. I make sure that they're happy but I try. not to get too attached maybe you'll. change your mind I would I would that's. the fear isn't that ironic though that. they have a shorter time on Earth they. should have a little bit more love in. that short time but you're starving them. that yeah okay well they're very happy. and my son goes out there he just loves. spending time with the cow so I think. they plenty of Love whenever I have to I.

do have to say whenever I taste the meat. of an animal that grew up with a lot of. love it's terrible it's soft yeah it's. not good but there are steaks that I can. get and these are animals that never. knew true love and boy is that a tender. steak it's a delicious steak it's a. special restaurant I go to called. Loveless you know it's it's one to do. it's. it's these are free range chickens but. they never knew love real love.

they were just raised in a 1950 Suburban. house yeah exactly oh I know where they. were. raised I'm kidding come on folks you get. it it's. funny.
