Spoiler alert.
Are you ready for a behind-the-scenes
look at the latest episode?
Make sure you're all caught up on the new season
of "Little People, Big World."
What are you doing for pumpkin season?
I think I'm going to do the private tours
and just go hard on it this year.
I think that's good, babe.
The pumpkin season was different this year.
We had a new farm manager.
Karen Chandler stepped away from that role, and Karen Thomas,
who's worked on the farm for many years--
she stepped into the role of farm manager
for pumpkin season.
It was different, but at the same time,
it was very much the same.
Yeah, because she's been around the farm forever.
Yeah, she's been around the farm,
and we get a lot of the same employees back
and things like that.
So it wasn't like she reinventing the wheel.
Yeah.
And then I took over the Golden Tour sign ups
and doing a lot of the Golden Tours, the private tours,
we do on the farm.
Hey, you guys the next tour?
Yeah.
Yeah, jump on.
Welcome to our farm.
Feel free to take pictures, ask questions.
- Yeah. - Cool.
Awesome.
So that was a huge role for me.
And then I was there just last, because I
have a toddler and a puppy.
Difficult. Yeah, it's difficult, the crowds, too.
Like, I get it.
People love Jackson.
They want to, like--
you know.
But it's still just kind of, like, scary as a mom
to just let your kid, like, wander around.
There's all these people here, so--
This crowd is here for this baby.
Yeah.
That's just wandering--
Honestly, no one cares about anyone else in the family
anymore. They're here for Jackson.
Yeah, and he's just wandering.
And for the most part, people, like, give him a wide berth.
Yeah.
Because that's who they're here to see.
He's in a fishbowl.
Hi.
This is my favorite.
ZACH ROLOFF: My dad has these friends from high school, Bob
and Jody, and they came up for the month
to help my dad with pumpkin season.
And so they work and everything.
And all the employees are keeping an eye on Jackson,
and everyone does, like-- - Because he does wander.
Yeah, crowd control and everything like that.
Well, Tori's mom, who's not on the show a ton,
you know, Jackson's grandma--
And this was her first time out for that pumpkin season.
Yeah, she comes to pumpkin season
and walks up to Jackson and--
Not, like, walks up.
No, she, like, ran and swooped him up.
She ran up to Jackson and scooped him up.
And Jody, from across the merchandise barn, yells--
Put him down!
And now, everyone is looking at this.
And, you know, Kim--
did she put him down, or did she--
No.
I was right there, so I was like, Jody, it's grandma.
Yeah.
But it was-- it was funny, because it was like--
It was so good.
And then we were like, no, that's his grandma.
And we're like, every--
like, the employees have Jackson's back.
Yeah.
Like, if anyone was going to try to swoop him up,
no, it wasn't happening.
But Jody was across the merchandise barn.
But she just had--
Yeah, she had eyes on him.
She has those eyes.
Like, it was-- she had eyes on him.
And I, like, watched the whole thing unfold, which just,
to me, made it kind of funny.
Because it was like my mom, you know--
It was all good. It was just--
It was all good.
It was a fun story, because it was like--
- Yeah. - You know.
She had our back, for sure.
Oh, yeah.
You're going to jump right out of my hands, little farmer.
ZACH ROLOFF: Jackson loves the mule ride.
Favorite thing in the whole, wide world.
And rocks.
And if grandpa comes around on a mule,
then it is all hands on deck.
Again, blinders.
Everyone get out of my way. I got to focus.
Yep. Stop, stop, stop.
I need to get on this mule.
He loves, like, just being left alone, though, too.
I think he likes just, like, mom and dad let him walk around,
do whatever he wants-- - Nailed it.
--as long as he's not being, like, crazy.
We set him outside the car, and he
just can walk and do whatever.
Yeah, anywhere.
And there's no, like, don't touch that,
or don't touch this, don't do that.
He can almost touch anything, yeah.
Because we're not in the barn area where the, you know--
No, it's, like, the rocks.
--the tools.
We're in the main front of the house area, so yeah.
And he'll just go over to the garden.
There's, like, a little shovel.
He'll sit there for 20 minutes shovelling stuff.
He'll go away from everybody and just,
like, play in the dirt.
I know Jerin Aujack, she mentioned
something to us the other day.
Because we're also trying to teach him to,
like, be more responsive when we ask him to come to us
or follow directions better.
[music playing]
And so we thought our natural consequence
would be just to leave him.
Like, when we're at the farm, if he's
not going to follow us, then OK, mom and dad are leaving.
Not a good one for him at the farm,
because he's just like, OK.
Bye.
Yeah.
But he's got Murph looking out for him, so we're OK.
Yes, always.
TORI ROLOFF: Murphy.
ZACH ROLOFF: Why did we bring him?
TORI ROLOFF: Literally, he jumped in the car.
It was, like, beyond my control.
ZACH ROLOFF: Go.
TORI ROLOFF: Go, now.
ZACH ROLOFF: Murphy!
Oh, my god.
Yeah.
This was the most embarrassing thing that happened
this season, hands down.
Murphy stole a diaper from someone's car
while they were trying to-- - From their car.
From their car.
Like, not just from, like--
oh.
ZACH ROLOFF: Like, no privacy whatsoever.
TORI ROLOFF: So gross.
ZACH ROLOFF: Runs around with a poopy diaper everywhere.
It was bad. - It was so disgusting.
Because we thought-- we were up at the house,
so we're like, OK, he's here.
No, you told me to let him out of the car, too.
You were like, let him out.
Let him run behind the car.
We'll wear him out.
And I was like, no, we should wait to get up to the house.
And then, of course, he's like, no, let him out.
So I'm like, OK.
And I let him out, and then I end
up having to chase around the parking
lot with a poopy diaper. - No, I went down there.
I went down.
I was like, I'm done.
I'm out. - Yeah.
You, like, got the diaper.
Then I'm the one that went--
Yeah, after I saw the diaper coming out of his mouth.
All the people--
I had to walk through the parking lot
all the way to the food court area.
Oh, my gosh, your life is so hard.
Yeah, no.
You wanted to get him out of the car.
I'm not saying that's hard at all.
But you can't take credit for that.
That's what I did.
I wasn't We were talking about two different things.
No, we were talking about the same thing.
We weren't.
You said you had to go chase him.
I chased him, too.
I had to pull a poopy diaper out of an eight-month-old
puppy's mouth.
Juicy.
It was so disgusting.
Ugh, it was probably running.
No, it was more peanut buttery.
Oh.
