And you don't want to be that person that was – Unwilling or worse yet, unable to hang up the cleats. And so I guess I looked at it as growth. Then I became the ag comedy guy. And that's a hell of a change from being a political comedian to being a guy that does ag.

So if I go to Corey's, you know, Hogan Meyer seed sales meeting and I'm funny and I make a couple of points about ag and I'm funny and funny and funny. That's a pretty big, you know.

sea change from doing political comedy which you know there's another thing you talk about growth I knew that political comedy had a shelf life because it was me dressed up as Bill Clinton what people probably didn't realize is I needed to get out of political comedy altogether because look around there's so much of a chasm between this side or that side and there's so much hostility so getting out of comedy was really also I got I talk about in one of my business books you get typecast

You know, you get typecast. And I've used this on stage before to illustrate something. I'm like, put up a picture of Larry the Cable Guy. Yep. Raise your hand if you don't know who this is. And then everybody, you know, nobody raises their hand. I said, pretty funny. Yeah. Name him. Larry the Cable Guy. Yep.

If Larry the Cable Guy comes in here and wants to give you advice on investing, you laugh just at the very thought of it. Yeah. He's completely typecast. Yeah. I was in danger of being typecast as the guy who was Bill Clinton impersonator comedian for So I had to make a pretty big sea change to go and do that.

And then I didn't want to be, oh, he's also now the ag comedy guy because I'm like, I got pretty well one-trick ponied before. I don't want to be one-trick ponied into that. So that's why I started in 2012, made a concerted effort, be like, yeah, I'm funny, but also we're going to make these points about the future of agriculture. What? Yeah. I read the Wall Street every day.

I've read hundreds of business books, and I've got a degree in agricultural economics. We're going to talk about some issues in this industry as well as be funny. That was really me not forcing it on to any clients but selling it, and that's where the growth came because I guess I've been conditioned – trained and now scared of ever looking like you're going to get treated as the one-trick pony.

A little bit. I mean, you know, growing up out on the farm, we didn't like have HBO or anything. I watched Carol Burnett show variety shows where, uh, when the seventies, uh, and I always thought I could do that or Saturday night live or Benny Hill, you know, Benny Hill reruns on the independent channel out of Fort Wayne, Indiana.
