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.

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.

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.
