Here's What Happened w/ Weston Emery

Ep. 10 Jackson Laux | 10 Year Old Farmer, Tractor Enthusiast, Homeschooler & "God Fearing Country Boy"

In this episode of the Here’s What Happened Podcast, Weston Emery sits down with Jackson Laux — the viral “John Deere Tractor Kid.” At just 10 years old, Jackson has built a massive following online through his love for farming and tractors, but there’s a lot more to him than what you see on the internet. Jackson shares how he became famous, what his life looks like growing up around farming, and what he wants his future to be. Throughout the episode, we joke around, play games, and have a lot of laughs. But what stands out most is his intelligence. Weston puts Jackson to the test, asking him about history — and he breaks down World War I, World War II, and the Civil War in a way that’s hard to believe for his age. This episode is fun, unexpected, and gives a real look into the life and mind of one of the internet’s most unique young personalities.

Ep. 9. Kinsley Tate White | MrBeast Contestant, Oxford Student, & Pilot

In this episode of the Here’s What Happened Podcast, Weston Emery sits down with Kinsley Tate White a recent contestant in two of MrBeast’s latest videos. Kinsley was the runner-up in one of the challenges and came incredibly close to winning $100,000, giving her a front-row seat to what it’s really like behind the scenes of a MrBeast production. She shares what the experience was like competing, what Jimmy (MrBeast) is like off camera, the pressure of the challenges, and the moment she almost walked away with the prize. But this episode goes far beyond YouTube challenges. Weston and Kinsley talk about faith in Jesus, influence online, dating, purpose, and staying grounded while opportunities and attention grow. Kinsley also opens up about her life outside of YouTube — studying at Oxford, leading worship, playing multiple instruments, hunting, flying planes, and more.  FOLLOW & SUBSCRIBE 📺 Main Channel: https://youtube.com/@hereswhathappenedpodcast?si=O_ZSs8LDTlhCtZu9 🎙 Podcast Clips Channel: https://youtube.com/@hereswhathappenedclips?si=9AWV4fl-SVxq4bYW FOLLOW MY SOCIALS https://linktr.ee/WestonEmery#494530579 [https://linktr.ee/WestonEmery#494530579]   BUSINESS INQUIRIES wesconversation@gmail.com APPLY TO BE A GUEST https://form.jotform.com/252104670099153 [https://form.jotform.com/252104670099153] SUPPORT THE SHOW 👍 Like this podcast  ⬆️ Share this episode with a friend

Ep 8. Nate Weber (From The TV Show, "ALONE")

In this episode, Weston sits down with Nate Weber, a survivalist from the hit series "Alone", for a conversation about what the show doesn’t show you. Nate opens up about his full experience on Alone — from the application process and orientation to the mental and physical challenges of surviving completely solo in the wilderness. He shares behind-the-scenes stories, how contestants are really selected, and what life is like before and after the cameras stop rolling. Beyond survival, Nate dives into his 24 years of military service, including moments where his life was in real danger. He talks about how those experiences shaped him as a man, a husband, and a father — and how they prepared him for isolation, fear, and leadership. This episode goes deeper into faith in God, resilience, and what it truly means to be a man in today’s world. Nate shares his perspective on raising boys into men, building character through hardship, and why strong values matter now more than ever. This is more than a survival story — it’s a conversation about purpose, masculinity, faith, and enduring when life strips everything away.

Ep 7. The Naked Skydiver | Guinness World Record Holder, Rian Kanouff

In this raw, unfiltered episode, Rian Kanouff—the infamous “naked skydiver”—opens up like never before. He dives into his wildest skydiving stories, the moments that pushed him to the edge, and the controversy that made him known worldwide. But beyond the stunts and headlines, Rian gets real about his battle with depression, the mental toll of chasing extremes, and how skydiving ultimately saved his life. This is a deep, honest conversation about fear, freedom, mental health, and finding purpose when everything feels lost.

Ep 6. "Not Logan Paul" (Logan Paul's VIRAL Doppelgänger & Friend, Rodney Petersen)

In this episode, I sit down with Rodney Petersen [chatgpt://generic-entity?number=0], better known as “Not Logan Paul.” We discuss the chaos that comes with looking exactly like one of the most recognizable people on the internet. Then Rodney dives into his craziest stories ever—from wild public encounters and insane moments of mistaken identity to how his lookalike fame completely changed his personal life. Rodney opens up about the opportunities, the pressure, and the unbelievable situations he’s been put in just for looking like Logan. He also shares what it’s really like behind the scenes—what Logan Paul [chatgpt://generic-entity?number=2] and Jake Paul [chatgpt://generic-entity?number=3] are actually like off camera, and the genuine kindness and respect they showed him, his kids, and his family. This episode is raw, hilarious, and unexpect—full of stories you won’t hear anywhere else.
