Ben is excited about Marily’s first appearance on the show; she wants to talk about about the word agriculture! This is a sprawling episode. Topics include: the life of a field worker, childhood stories, the 4H Club, meat sciences, experimental cornfields, pinball, and “Farming Simulator 22.” As luck would have it, Ben just started playing “Sakuna: of Rice and Ruin” and wants to share his thoughts on it.
