00:03Hello.
00:04How are you?
00:05Good.
00:05How are you?
00:06It's been way too long.
00:08I would love for you guys to be my bridesmaid.
00:12I say yes.
00:14Yes.
00:14We say yes to being bridesmaid.
00:18We have been showing for 13 years.
00:21Wow.
00:21So Allie's family always goes to this county fair
00:25at the end of the summer.
00:26And this will be my first time joining their family.
00:29Allie's mom told me that there is like none other.
00:35Where is your arches going to be?
00:37On top of the hill.
00:38On top of the hill.
00:39OK.
00:39Oh.
00:40Really?
00:40How about you building a platform?
00:43No.
00:43I remember you telling me that you just
00:45want to build a platform to put the arches on.
00:48Daddy, you said platform.
00:50We are realizing that wedding planning is crazy.
00:55I say we walk back up to the house
00:56because the longer we stay down here,
00:57the longer dad's list gets.
01:08Oh, baby.
01:09High field.
01:10You take a little trip with me.
01:12I'll show you how to live.
01:13I like my trucks up high.
01:15My cars down low.
01:16We ain't rushing for nobody.
01:18We gonna take things slow.
01:31I go in with my pack box.
01:36This weekend, me and my mom are all visiting my girlfriend,
01:39Allie in Ohio.
01:41That is over there by the...
01:43Right there.
01:44All right, so how do we do this, Allie?
01:46Pull this.
01:49This is my first time visiting Allie and her family in Ohio,
01:53and we picked a great time because it is the Butler County Fair.
01:59Yeah!
02:01Okay.
02:02Start at the legs.
02:03Listen to her.
02:04Legs.
02:05So, you know, this is not a vacation.
02:07This is fair week, and during fair week, you do a lot of work.
02:13You wash pigs.
02:15You wash goats.
02:15You wash sheep.
02:17You wash cows.
02:18Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
02:20You gotta wait.
02:23Emma, you're like a natural at this.
02:25I think you should show in the open class.
02:29Yeah.
02:31Well, until I said something.
02:33I was trying to get the goat on the stand, but it was just walking me instead.
02:37of me walking it.
02:39Oh, yeah.
02:40I thought you said something.
02:40You have to be in control.
02:41I'm trying to control it.
02:45Come on.
02:47When you pick up the...
02:48You got it?
02:52How's the goat washing going?
02:53Nope.
02:54Good?
02:55Good?
02:55Are they being tame and in control?
02:58Yeah.
02:59Yeah.
02:59Overall, they're doing very good.
03:00She's got good goats.
03:01Good.
03:02Oh, yeah.
03:02Not right now, but maybe later we can chat a little bit about the kids.
03:08Yeah.
03:08I'd love it.
03:10You know, now is not the best time, but I did let Karen know that, you know, I'd like
03:15to have a little chat later about Alex moving up here.
03:18Yeah.
03:19We've got the rest of the day.
03:20We can...
03:21Yeah.
03:21Maybe by making dinner, you can come back.
03:22Yeah.
03:23That'll work.
03:23Yes.
03:24I'm a little nervous about how it may go, but, you know, I just hope that we're on the
03:30same page.
03:44Hi, Dad.
03:46Hi.
03:48You said that planter was tall and it needs to cut down?
03:51Yeah.
03:51So before I bring Layton out, I'm going to let you cut the legs off.
03:54Elizabeth hasn't been a little person very long, so she hasn't learned all the way to,
03:59like, read all the descriptions and the dimensions before you push, before you click purchase.
04:04I thought it looked smaller and shorter in person.
04:13Nice.
04:17Ever since Elizabeth, Bryce, and Layton have moved out and they are settled into their own
04:22home now, we still see them probably at least three, four times a week.
04:28Whoa.
04:30Look what that looks good.
04:34We got to mix up all the seeds, though.
04:37Look, Laybuck.
04:39We have so many butterflies coming out.
04:41That's the third one over there.
04:43Oh.
04:44All right.
04:45Fair game.
04:45That's the elephant.
04:48You missing Mom yet?
04:50Yeah, I do.
04:52I'm glad you finally came over.
04:54I was about to text you and be like, let's do dinner.
04:55I miss everybody.
04:56I'm not one of those dads or one of those husbands that, like, love it when everybody's
04:59gone.
05:00I'm not.
05:00No, I'm not either.
05:01Me and Mom definitely aren't like that.
05:03Y'all see how I am when I just go three hours without Layton.
05:06Layton.
05:06What?
05:07You want to get your hands dirty?
05:08Look, Layton.
05:09Look in here.
05:11Look.
05:12Get it.
05:12I think it's important for Mom to go up there and visit Allie's family and the farm.
05:18Mm-hmm.
05:19I mean, not just that, the area.
05:21Ohio.
05:23If it's suitable for Alex, she thinks.
05:24Yeah.
05:25So this past year, Alex has started to express his feelings and his thoughts about moving to
05:32Ohio when he is finished with college.
05:34I don't think that's a bad idea.
05:36However, our home and our family and Georgia is all Alex has ever known.
05:46Oh, are you liking it?
05:48You got dirt.
05:49Did you just eat dirt?
05:51Huh?
05:51You got dirt on your nose.
05:53What do you think about Alex being in Ohio?
05:55I mean, I honestly thought it was going to be Emma to be the one to move out.
05:59I thought Jonah, the boys were going to stay.
06:02What?
06:02Emma likes home.
06:04Yeah.
06:04Now seeing that though, because especially now with Leighton, she ain't ever going to
06:07want to leave Leighton.
06:12One thing you and I need to do is we need to talk about the wedding arch that we want
06:17to do.
06:18Yes, absolutely.
06:20When Elizabeth and Bryce decided to get married at our home in the field, Elizabeth
06:24and I looked at ideas of wedding arches.
06:28And we have landed and chosen one specific idea of the type of arch that I have planned
06:34on building.
06:36We definitely can't do it too soon.
06:39And Yellow Pine will mildew very quickly.
06:42Yeah.
06:43Get those black spots on it.
06:44And we should have all this ready to go by like the first week in October, have everything,
06:48all that ready to go.
06:50After meeting with the wedding planner last week, there are so many projects on this list
06:56that need to be done.
06:57And with the wedding being November 8th, we really have to haul ass to get everything
07:01started soon.
07:02Here, you can come on inside and get something to drink.
07:18So like, how do you like wake it up if it's like sleeping like this?
07:22I just like tap on it.
07:24So this afternoon, Ally is going to teach me how to show my first pig at the county fair.
07:29So how do you get, how would you get to like turn around in this pen, you just whip it
07:33in the opposite direction.
07:36Okay.
07:37Ally has been showing animals since she was like seven or eight years old.
07:41And since she just graduated high school, this would be her last year showing animals.
07:46I see.
07:47Yeah.
07:47I see what you mean.
07:48Yeah.
07:50I decided to show a pig this year at fair because Ally is passionate about.
07:55So I thought I would do it to support her.
07:57It's in the open class.
07:58So anybody can show.
08:00Is that fine, Ally?
08:01Yeah.
08:01Okay.
08:04No, I would have never imagined Alex getting down and dirty showing pigs.
08:07He was our kid that loved to stay clean.
08:11Like he was our kid that brushed his teeth more than two times a day.
08:14If we said we can prepare for a wedding, I want to go back inside.
08:19Golly.
08:20He does enjoy playing outside.
08:22But once we get scorching hot and the humidity is high, no, no more Alex.
08:28I hate this game.
08:32So, say the judge is like in the middle, like right there.
08:36What I always want to do, that when I come out, I want to like take the pig like this
08:43way.
08:43Judge always needs to see the pig.
08:45Okay.
08:45So keep the pig between me and the judge basically?
08:47Yes.
08:47Yeah.
08:48Okay.
08:48So never be between the pig and the judge.
08:50So never be between the pig.
08:51Got it.
08:57If you're, if you want the pig to turn left, tap the pig on the right shoulder.
09:04And if you want the pig to turn right, tap the pig on the left shoulder.
09:07So like the correct way to use the pig whip, you're not really supposed to like whip them
09:11per se.
09:12You're just supposed to like tap them like around their like faces just to guide them in
09:16the right direction.
09:19Is that making sense for my kids?
09:21Yeah.
09:21Like when you want them to turn, tap on its shoulders.
09:26And it's not, cause it's not easy as it looks.
09:29Yeah.
09:30Let me say that.
09:31I am the only LP at this county fair.
09:34Yeah.
09:34It is harder for me, obviously.
09:36Right.
09:37Cause I want to like, I want to be like the other people, the other showmen.
09:42If you, if you notice, when they show, they like lean down.
09:47Yeah, I've noticed that.
09:48And I'm going to do that, but I obviously can't.
09:50And also my pigs aren't slow.
09:53They walk fast.
09:55Yeah.
09:55But fast walking and little legs, that does not make the best combination.
09:58No, it doesn't.
09:59I can speak on that one.
10:00All right.
10:01I'll just stand here and give you pointers.
10:05There we go.
10:08So even though I'm just showing this pig for fun, I still want, I still don't want to embarrass
10:13myself in front of the whole county.
10:14And don't be scared of the pig too.
10:16I'm not scared of pigs.
10:20I don't know if I can do this.
10:25Let's go.
10:26I just walked in with the whole team.
10:29Everybody acting like they know me.
10:32While Amber, Emma, and Alex are out in Ohio, I thought it would be a great time for the
10:38guys to go out and have a guy day.
10:41Bryce, you go first.
10:42I go first.
10:43Lead the way.
10:43Okay.
10:43All right.
10:44Go for it.
10:46Good job.
10:48Good job.
10:48Good job.
10:49Ski shooting is when we ski, we shoot these.
10:55They, they send these clay discs flying up in the air and they try to shoot them.
11:01Pull.
11:02Damn.
11:06What kind of guns do we use for ski shooting?
11:10Shotguns.
11:11Good job.
11:12Grits.
11:13Grits, grits, grits.
11:14I have grits at home.
11:15You know what grits are?
11:16Girls raised in the south.
11:23One, one, and zero.
11:25We're going to have to come up with a wager here in a little while.
11:27A challenge.
11:29All right.
11:30So we all agree that whoever the loser is has to run through the woods while we shoot
11:36them with paintball guns.
11:38Pull.
11:42All right, pull.
11:45When shooting shotguns, people often wonder if we have to adapt our shotguns.
11:50And we do.
11:52This would be Bryce's shotgun, this would be my shotgun, and this would be Jonah's shotgun.
11:56Jonah still shoots a youth model shotgun.
12:00Pull.
12:03All right, pull.
12:08There you go.
12:09Nailed that one.
12:10Pull.
12:15All right, pull.
12:19I mean, we suck worse than a shot back.
12:22You know, it sounds really good when you come home and say, hey, babe, I hit 15, your dad hit
12:2714, and your brother hit nine.
12:29How many did you shoot?
12:3050.
12:30So you missed 36?
12:32Yeah.
12:33Huh.
12:33Sounds like you wasted some money.
12:36I mean, really?
12:37You look at it that way.
12:38Good game.
12:40Good match.
12:42Clearly, I'm the loser.
12:44I'll get a consequence later on.
12:46Okay.
12:47Let's get our shot, guys.
12:48The only true winners today are those clay skeets that are sitting out there in the tall grass that they're
12:54going to be able to go pick up and put back in the throwers.
12:57They're the ones who won because they got away from us.
13:00That was fun.
13:02Yeah.
13:02Good two hours.
13:04I'd say.
13:15Game game.
13:16Game game.
13:17The oldest game in Ohio.
13:18Okay.
13:20Oh.
13:22Oh, I got one.
13:23Oh, Alex, did you get one?
13:24Yeah, I got one.
13:25Hey.
13:25Woo-hoo!
13:27Here you go.
13:29Hey, you want me to hold it?
13:30So you can keep throwing?
13:31There are two sides to the county fair.
13:33The fair side consists of families that are there all week long showing livestock.
13:41It's very family-friendly side of the fair.
13:48The carnival side is not so much.
13:56Yeah, exactly.
13:59Going to the fair, I just, I kind of expected, like, people to stare at us, take pictures of us,
14:06like, whisper about us.
14:07Like, that's just to be expected whenever we go into a big outing like that.
14:11So, yeah, that's just what I expected.
14:14You get steak on a stick.
14:16What's steak on a stick?
14:18Steak on a stick.
14:18Steak on a stick.
14:19Oh.
14:20I'm tired, Ken.
14:23You ask yourself, you know, as a little person going to this, people at the fair are going to stop.
14:29They're going to absorb for five seconds.
14:31If they have the courage, they'll come up and ask your name and things like that.
14:35Or you get the pictures.
14:37It's something we've had to deal with since we were little kids.
14:41All right, now we're going to get in a ride.
14:43I see.
14:45Can we get a ride?
14:46We will get something.
14:47We'll make sure we get something when we get done with rides.
14:57It's so embarrassing.
14:58You talking about the people laughing?
15:00Oh.
15:00Well, I mean, we're used to that.
15:02Yeah, it hurts our feelings really bad.
15:04Why are they looking at us?
15:07What's wrong with me?
15:11Oh, right here.
15:12Right here.
15:13Oreos.
15:13Right here.
15:14Yep.
15:16Can we get some fried Oreos?
15:19We should be able to enjoy an amusement park or a carnival and great carnival food just like everyone else,
15:26but we can't.
15:33And that's where you go back to, we're not looked at as humans.
15:38We're not.
15:39We're looked at objectively.
15:41I mean, it's ignorance.
15:41They don't have the understanding and realize how rude and disrespectful they're being.
15:47Allie, do you guys normally come to the carnival side?
15:50No, like never.
15:52Never.
15:53For this reason.
15:54I don't like it.
15:55I feel uncomfortable.
15:56I don't feel safe.
15:58Yeah.
15:58I hate it over here.
15:59No, this is more.
16:00Fair side.
16:01The city.
16:02The city people that are coming for the rides and the food and stuff and not the agriculture part of
16:07it.
16:08No.
16:08They like stare at us, like yell comments.
16:11Take pictures of us.
16:12Take pictures of us.
16:13It's very, very annoying.
16:15So I see why Allie's family doesn't go over there.
16:17I don't feel comfortable over there at all.
16:19Or they don't go over there without a trusted adult.
16:22Yep.
16:23Well, even you and I, when we came, because we had to come a little, not this far over, but
16:28we had to come a little bit because there's an Asian food truck.
16:30We had people that it was not because of who we are. It was because of what we are. And
16:39we're very kind of ignorant about it.
16:42And we had to politely say, no, we're getting our food and we're people, we're not objects.
16:49People cannot give the excuse, I don't know.
16:51Right.
16:52Because everybody has a phone.
16:54Everybody has access to the internet.
16:55You can know respect. And respect is, hi, what's your name? Not, you know, you're an M word or, yeah.
17:05Breaking down that fourth wall is not about a television family. It's about disrupting someone's evening at the carnival.
17:17I enjoy the animal side.
17:18We enjoy the fair side.
17:19The countryside more.
17:21Not so much the farming side.
17:21Yeah, if I come back, we're staying on the countryside.
17:23Yeah.
17:23The countryside.
17:25Oh, yeah.
17:25The countryside.
17:27The city side, yeah.
17:27Yeah, we like the countryside.
17:42When I'm in the pen, it's just me and the pig. I'm nervous because I don't want the pig to
17:47run. I want to do good. I want to play, hi.
17:50Put your hands together, please. Let's congratulate these kiddos.
17:55While you're in the ring, you want your pig to follow you around and make sure that the judge can
18:00see, like, all the angles of the pig. And the rest of the judging is basically up to the pig
18:04on, like, what it looks like.
18:06Enemy of the ring now is class number five, our first class of purebred Durrock market hogs.
18:13How's it going?
18:14All right.
18:16The judge is looking for, like, the meat, like, the body type, the belly, the legs, if it walks correctly.
18:30Allie?
18:30It's like her walking so fast.
18:32These are slow plays.
18:35Well, when Allie comes in with her Durrock barrel, it wants to run around and not as cooperative. So that
18:41becomes an issue. Is it the pig that's maybe not cooperating because of some of those faults or deformities that
18:48it has? Or is it because, you know, it's just being a pain in the rear end?
18:56I guess I feel like thing an LP and the pig is much bigger than me because it's, like, on
19:01my waist basically. I feel like I have, what the word?
19:05Dr. Disadvantaged.
19:06Yeah.
19:07I can't walk fast with the pig?
19:09That's why I tap it, it's harder because I'm, like, leaning on the pig trying to drive it. So it's
19:16much harder.
19:20Ready?
19:26that's the pig i have to show you open glass so seeing ally struggle with the pig definitely
19:32made me a little bit nervous because i'm going to be showing that same pig so i hope it doesn't
19:37try to run away from me too
19:46okay you're gonna be seven just needs to be more opened up more bulk okay
19:53okay buddy you'll be four
19:57okay it'll be two be one
20:06then he told me i said i was like i'm second like really i was surprised thank you yes overall
20:14i

26:05how many last minute advice before i head in just look at the judge i got contact
26:13you'll do good i believe in you okay what's the advice i always tell you don't suck
26:22i'll try i would say ali's advice of her telling me not just don't suck was was pretty good i'd
26:30say
26:30i mean she was just straight to the point and yeah my goal was to not suck
26:40i should go towards the right you said yeah okay alex is about to go next after this well you
26:48can watch it
26:50i am pretty nervous there's a lot of people watching me and i really don't want to embarrass
26:55myself especially in front of my future and loss when i first stepped into the ring with my pig i
27:11was
27:11definitely nervous like i felt like all the eyes around me and yeah it was definitely nerve-wracking
27:16when i first stepped in good job keeping his head out i think alex is doing great the pig isn't
27:31running he was fast walking a little bit but overall alex is doing great
27:40watching the swine show it's i guess organized chaos in the ring
27:50you're gonna be eight
27:59you're gonna be seven
28:09you're gonna be five oh he got fifth oh he got fifth he got fifth good job good for him
28:17good job
28:23overall i'm really happy with my performance i'm more than happy that i placed the fifth and i did it
28:28a lot better than i thought i was going to you did good thank you so what do you think
28:32how'd you do i
28:33i did a lot better than i thought i was going i thought you did great thank you good didn't
28:37get
28:38away from you didn't take off not really no so he kept his composure if he would have gotten tense
28:43the pig would have gotten tense and tried to run even more for his first time showing keeping that
28:48composure was huge hey at least i got a ribbon that's all i really did i know pink real men
28:54wear pink
28:54that's right your old man matches your shirt it does match my shirt actually yeah yeah that's right
29:00i was pretty impressed alex did really good with the pig i thought like i don't know the pig would
29:05run away from him but he did really good i feel like he did a good job and we're walking
29:11away with
29:11a little butler county fair souvenir good job yeah congratulations thanks you did really good that went
29:20a lot better than i thought it was going to yeah i think you did better than allie she did
29:25yeah the
29:26pig is a lot better than me but let's make it clear the johnstons are not becoming pig showers goat
29:35showers cow showers horse showers chicken showers rabbit showers you want to come back next year and do it
29:44maybe her open yeah you should so now that i've shown my own pig i definitely have a greater
29:50appreciation for what allie does when she shows her pigs and it also gives me to an insight of what
29:55the lifestyle will be like when i eventually make the move up to ohio oh how cute that's so cute
30:17after our embarrassing skeet shooting technically none of us did very well jonah did terrible and we
30:26had an agreement that whoever lost there was a payoff bet i thought about having jonah down there on the
30:32hill dunking running right left almost like serpentine hiding behind trees jonah has to go down on the
30:39hill run back and forth and find two ears of corn dried corn that we have hanging in the woods
30:48once he
30:49finds the corn he has to untie them and run them back up the hill and put them in our
30:53deer feeder where
30:53we feed deer in the means time of him running and hunting for deer corn we're going to be just
30:59bingo
30:59stamp jonah with the paintball gun come on fat boy
31:10this is great
31:15in all fairness to keep the theme alive and because bryce is a part of this whole uh debacle it
31:21is
31:22it's fair for me to be in a deer costume and i actually looked at it as though look i
31:26get some sort of armor
31:32and i think it's a part of this is ridiculous i think it's appropriate
31:38is that stuff hanging out is this good you look good to me i think that uh you know if
31:45i weren't
31:45to do this and i weren't to hold up my end of the bargain they wouldn't want to play any
31:49competitions
31:49with me
31:52just watch the ground when you're running yeah
31:55you don't so just in these woods right here you're fine you can go anywhere you want
32:00you can use the trees for cover or you can just hail mary it and go for it ready
32:06ready yep all right once he crosses that trend let's just start i mean just ready just hammering him
32:27up
32:38he's done all right good job
32:42good job holy
32:48Although I did get tagged a couple of times
32:51with the paintball markers, I was able to successfully
32:56retrieve the two ears off the tree
32:58and put the ears of corn in the baskets.
33:02All right, good job.
33:05Yeah, the costume does not help.
33:08I don't see any spots.
33:09Oh, I got lit up.
33:11I can still feel them right here, right here,
33:13and then right here, and then my hand.
33:15We hit you in the hand?
33:16Yeah, on this side.
33:17I think you had a yellow spot over here.
33:19Never mind, yeah, we did rip him up right there.
33:22Yeah.
33:23But I said we got a dead deer tonight.
33:26All right, your debt's paid.
33:27Thanks.
33:28Good job.
33:29Good sport.
33:41The sweet corn's in there.
33:42You know what it is?
33:43Yeah, we'll just shuck it into a bucket.
33:45You want to show Amber how to shuck corn?
33:48I know how to shuck corn.
33:50OK, I just, there's a right way.
33:52You got to do it.
33:52That city.
33:54Well, now, I don't know.
33:56You have, like, technique or something.
33:57You got to do it to get all the silks off.
33:59Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
33:59OK.
34:01Just making sure.
34:02Trent and I have been talking about how Alex wants
34:05to move to Ohio.
34:06So it's important for me to talk with Allie's parents
34:09and make sure that this is going to be the best fit for Alex.
34:15Adam, where do you want the corn in the pot?
34:17Put it in the seats.
34:18Yeah, take it and just lay it in a chair.
34:22I'm glad you guys have got to come up here and see a little piece
34:26of what she does and what she loves.
34:29I am, too.
34:29And it's nice to see y'all's, like, family, of course,
34:35and then friends.
34:37It's nice to be able to see that because eventually,
34:41I know Alex is going to make his way up to Ohio.
34:45Well, I know.
34:46How do you feel about that?
34:48I think, you know, truthfully, I know,
34:51especially being little people, that that's always a possibility
34:55when they date, you know, other little people.
34:58Yeah.
34:58And something, you know, with Allie is,
35:02I know farm life is very, very important to her.
35:06And that's what she wants agriculture, she wants to go into.
35:10And, you know, we can't give that to her down where we are.
35:14I'm OK with that, especially knowing y'all's family.
35:19And, like, he's going to be, I don't want to say taken care of,
35:23but taken care of in the sense of, like, emergency.
35:26If I can't get up here.
35:28We, yes, we have people.
35:30But yeah, we're here.
35:32And Trent and I know, like, we're prepared emotionally to have to travel to see our kids.
35:39I think about Alex moving away to Ohio is a happy, sad feeling.
35:45It's an accomplishment, number one.
35:47I will not be sad.
35:49He will be missed extremely.
35:51But I think over time, it may get worse before it ever gets better with us missing him.
35:56I think me, Amber, and Emma will have the biggest struggle, no doubt.
36:02But I know, too, how much Alex, when he does come up here and comes back home,
36:07how much he loves, I mean, loves doing farming with you.
36:11Yeah, he blends in so well.
36:13And he jumps right in amongst the farm guys.
36:16Yeah.
36:17But we don't even have to ask him to help.
36:18He just jumps right in.
36:19He jumps right in, yeah.
36:19I mean, what else can I do?
36:20And I mean, he's so polite and respectful.
36:22He is, you guys have raised a really, really good young man.
36:25At least one out of five.
36:26Yeah, I understand.
36:27It works.
36:28I understand.
36:29I do see Allie and Alex together for quite a while, looking into the future.
36:33So I do see him maybe moving up here.
36:35And that'll present its own set of challenges, if and when that happens, is they figure out
36:40the long distance relationship.
36:42But now, how will they figure out the relationship when it's more day to day?
36:46I would like to see them, if it does go to engagement or anything like that.
36:51I would like them to live in the same city for a while.
36:54Oh, yeah, before?
36:55Before an engagement or something happens, I mean.
36:57In this day and age, you know, in Trent and I's age, you couldn't do that.
37:01It wasn't a while.
37:02Not even living, if they want to live together, yes.
37:04But at least where they can see each other more consistently.
37:08Trent and I are a firm believer in that.
37:09You know, when you get to see each other, it's exciting and it's fun and you love it.
37:14Just a year.
37:15Yeah.
37:16This trip to Ohio has been a lot of fun, but Trent and I have a lot to discuss.
37:20One being my thoughts on Alex moving to Ohio.
37:23And then, of course, the other is wedding talk, since the wedding is only three months away
37:28and we still have a lot to do.
37:30I don't know who wants to have the pork burgers, but that's Ali's pig from last year.
37:34Oh, nice.
37:37That's what happens.
37:38It's a prize-winning pig.
37:39That's right.
37:39It was too big to bring the fair, so we just kept it and ate it.
37:44I'm Bobby Dalio, I said it from the start.
37:47I love it so much, you leave me with a heavy heart.
37:50Working all night and all day to get rich with it.
37:52I saw the big picture, now I'm seeing big digits.
38:00It's nice and humid.
38:03Hi, dear.
38:04Hi.
38:05Welcome home.
38:06It's a bit strong out here.
38:10All that smell is nothing but money.
38:13Well, that's supposedly what I smelled for the last four days at the fair.
38:19I am obviously a little tired from just getting in from Ohio, but it's important that Trent and I
38:26catch up, especially being that the wedding quote just came in.
38:30The proposal came in for Elizabeth's wedding.
38:33I got to sit down for this one.
38:35The wedding quote came in and it is definitely higher than what we imagined or what we thought
38:44would be.
38:46I don't want to say we had a number, but at the same time, we definitely weren't thinking that
38:52was going to be the number.
38:54It's a lot more than what we will be able to do.
38:58But everything that Julie has listed down there, I mean, it's a lot of work.
39:05I don't know what weddings, it's been 27 years since I planned a wedding.
39:11And when I did our wedding, I did it extremely conservatively.
39:14I went to a big box store and bought fake flowers to do my bouquet.
39:20And I went to JCPenney Outlet and bought my $199 wedding dress.
39:27This is the top of the top.
39:30What's the most expensive thing, food or flowers?
39:32I know it's one of them.
39:33Flowers, by far.
39:35Over food?
39:36By far, yeah.
39:38The highest priced items on the quote is flowers.
39:42At this point, I'm like, take out the orchids and let's add some monkey grass in there.
39:46Some leary oak.
39:48Some ivy.
39:50Yeah, we got plenty of ivy.
39:52Yeah.
39:53I feel like if we could, you know, first of all, talk to Elizabeth and Bryce.
39:57And then we, you know, contact Julie and see, you know, if we could at least cut 35%
40:05and it not completely change the look of the wedding.
40:11This is a lot to have to cut from the wedding budget.
40:14And hopefully, you know, Elizabeth doesn't freak out.
40:21Next time on Seven Little Johnstons.
40:23The wedding proposal came in, so we have to discuss.
40:29It looks like it's a lot.
40:30It is.
40:31The final number at the back is not doable.
40:36We're going to make a couple of drinking glasses like these ones.
40:39Tap and turn.
40:40Same things.
40:41Tap and turn.
40:42Let's bring it over to our glory hole over here.
40:45And you're going to rotate that.
40:48It's warm in here.
40:49And it's because of these furnaces.
40:52Which one's actually called a glory hole?
40:55Yep.
40:56You just stick the tip in.
40:59I brought all the guys.
41:01Yay.
41:02Yes.
41:03I think Elizabeth has strong opinions,
41:05especially when the event has something to do with her.
41:09We've got the camo tie.
41:10No.
41:11Oh my gosh, that's great.
41:13No.
41:13Yeah.
41:13No.
41:14I'm like, gosh, please let me wear this at the wedding.
41:18That's what I'm talking about.
41:19Yeah.
41:19It's great.
41:20I love it.
41:21No.
41:23Set it aside.
41:27Go.
41:28June drop.
41:28Come fight me up to you too.
41:30Come fight.
