Big Daddy

Well, it's still holding. By the way, I did not know how to build one of these until now. I don't even know what that's called. It's a proper way to hold up a post so that then we can build a concrete footer and stand to hold up our pole that has been washed away. And I don't know how to make a footer. That's the plan today. Happy day! Can you turn the compost please? It's the second day. Beefcake's over again. Figure out what's happening. Well, one, one of these is a female, these feeders, and she's of the age she's probably in heat. He's trying to breed her. He don't care that it's his daughter. He busted right through this. 550 pounds wants that something, he gets it. We're gonna harvest those little pigs soon, so I'm not gonna be worried, too worried about it. Hopefully next week. You coming? Yeah, you hold this and then I'll sit in the back. What I'll do for my daughter. Or is Gracie living— whoa, why is he honking? Water and compost if you want to compost that. Thanks, man. Jonah disassembling the— let me show you— the shipping container for our table. Big Daddy said it's the perfect size for a form. You ready, chauffeur? Yeah. There are some things like forms you learn by working under somebody that knows how to do it, and that's what we're going to do with Big Daddy today. And that's what we did yesterday with Big Daddy. If we can stabilize this so it can't move, we could put another race over here. There are other things you learn by observation if you just pay attention. Okay, I got the water going. That's oftentimes some of the best teaching and learning there is, and often the teacher doesn't even know they're doing it. It's just their nature, and there's something to be learned from that. And for me, I've learned, well, how a man should care for his wife as she's dying. All right, you ready to go? I swear, if I'm gonna be the one left and Rebecca's gonna be the one going, I'm gonna know exactly what to do because of how Big Daddy did with Grandma. Their relationship was set up— I mean, Grandma loved to cook, she insisted on cleaning up, so she did all that. But when she was unable to do that, Big Daddy stepped up. And who knew he could even do that? Big Daddy stepped up and did that tirelessly without complaint. He became Mr. Mom, so to speak. He fulfilled what a man is supposed to do, which is serve, and he just girded up his loins and did it. What is that chicken thinking? And that was in the last year, year and a half, that he really stepped up in the domestics and cared for her. Asked her about this until, you know, when we had the, the funeral arrangement meeting. I tell everybody I can about this because I'm so proud of him, the way he carried on during this. And also, I think it's a good example to all us men out there. I'm fascinated with manhood and the talk of what it means to be a man. I like being a man. I like being a good husband. I want to be a good father. These are all great things, and it seems our culture downs that sometimes through the man's natural tendency to be a man, to be a servant, to open the door for ladies, even step into some feminine roles, you know, like cooking and doing dishes. Sometimes, oh, that's a woman's job. Well, no, if a man's to serve, that can be the man's job too. And here was this big bad Marine, big daddy, showing us that was the case. Lily, thanks for getting everybody breakfast. You need anything? Okay, good. Did he— did he undo this? No. Jonah, we gotta get this apart. What did you do? Absolutely nothing. I took the plywood off. I thought we only were using the plywood. We gotta get these off too. What's holding these together? Okay, it's a screw. It's one of those square screws. Babe, Daddy's gonna be standing here watching us do this. We need him for the skilled tasks. So we got to get the unskilled tasks out of the way. He's got other priorities. Okay, what's the next move on this thing? This broke, so I have to reinforce this and then maybe make it a little bit better. Put a seat on it. What are you doing over here, old man? You gonna help us? Yeah, yeah, you're gonna help us? You're gonna help us? You're gonna help us? No, at least that's the truth. Hurt men aren't any good to themselves or to the company or their families. Are they actually starting to turn this? Well, let's, let's, uh, put big— let's put Beefcake and Poundcake in here. We actually need to take down the front and get the— and get that material into the the compost pile we're making with the machine. See, they're just compacting it. You're gonna fix that. Yeah, you'll see, he'll bust right through it. I say we get the 3 little pigs back in the pig port. Jonah's gonna put up a temporary— look, here he comes— board holding in that frame. You guys see him? Watch, he's gonna bust over right now to see his little girlfriend. He doesn't have the internet, he'll never give up. What'd you just learn, Jonah? How do you— how do you use the big square? The little one has a little lip. How were you using it? He was lining it up on top. I said it goes against there. We want to level underneath this thing to prepare for the forms. Flattened it out. Somehow we have some dirt-type material, don't we? Really fine sand. Yeah, seemed to pack okay. Oh my gosh, that might actually be right. Somehow that is perfectly level right now. Do you see what's going to happen? Fill that with concrete, then we're going to make a 16-inch by 16-inch column to come up and support that. Hey, you never believe it. What? It's level. No, we have a survivor. Can you guys see it? No, it's a honeybee.
