You evolve in your career, and I looked at it as, yeah, how about the guy that speaks that is a former comedian and can still be funny? And also, because there's another thing that happens with comedy, people don't think you're smart. My comedy actor was very smart. I used to dress up as Bill Clinton. I was a Bill Clinton impersonator. Put on fat padding, makeup, gray hair, and come in and talk like Bill Clinton. Hey, how you doing? How'd you like to occupy a position on my personal staff? You know, whatever. Innuendo jokes and this kind of thing. Hey, Monica. The thing is, I would get done doing a show, guys, and then people would come up there and post their pictures. That's something we always did.
And they'd say, you know, you're really funny, but you're actually kind of smart. Yeah. I'm like, do you realize how damn degrading that is, what you just said?
Yeah.
There is a podcast in Iowa. Funk for profit was named by they. They stirred up a banker near. Then quick came an auctioneer. Making profit was their first goal. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. Soon may the fun come to bring us guests and beer and fun. One day when the recording's done, we'll take our One day when the coding's done, we'll take our mics and go.
And listeners, welcome back to the Farm for Profit podcast. You've got Tanner here. And Corey's here. And apparently that's the last I'm going to speak today because Corey's like, really? You turned two cameras on for this?
Yeah.
This is my show. You can't do the intro by yourself. Yeah. Can you?
Dave is actually up working, speaking. I know.
Isn't that fun?
Making some money. Isn't that fun? We're down here at FarmCon.
It's our first time ever. This is a pretty cool event.
Yeah.
Never been, and I would say I've never been to a trade show like this one. And I can't even call it a trade show. It's more like a conference that has a trade show. Yes, it's a conference with a trade show. It started off saying everybody here is treated like family, so if you have a problem with being late to lunch... Get over it.
Yeah.
Yeah. They're going to talk about what they have to talk about. And so far the information has been really good. And then we knocked off this afternoon and did a couple of recordings. Yep. Made a new friend. Talked to some old friends. Yep.
Yeah. So let's introduce this first guest. You want to get right into the first one? As he's getting a song up, you can always call or text us. 515-207-9640. Yeah. I like this. This is one of my favorite ones, but I hate waiting for it to come. Today on the Farm for Fun show, we are live in FarmCon in snowy Kansas City. Boy, they got a few inches of snow and they don't know how to drive or move it or nothing. We take that for granted up in Iowa. We've got a guest that we wanted on several years ago, but he had me blocked. And you're going to hear that story. Stick around to the end because he's not sitting here actually right now. He's a writer. He's an author. He's a comedian. He does corporate events.
He's Extreme Ag's podcast guy. He does a little bit of everything. Please welcome Mr. Damien Mason. Yeah.
This is probably the first time we've ever recorded in a suit jacket.
Yeah. I finally broke down and I grabbed a hat out there. I wear a hat all the time. I did get blue to match my suit jacket, I guess.
So, Damien, we know you, right? We've got a good idea as to who you are, but our audience don't know who you are. So how do you introduce yourself?
Well, I know you, and it seems to me your podcast probably is about the same age as mine. So going before that, I began the Business of Agriculture show. I'm in my eighth year, maybe close to starting my ninth, 380 episodes. And I knew about you guys. You knew about me. And it's a small fraternity. I... I find it interesting that people sometimes get competitive. I keep things generally friendly. There's a few people that have been real dicks to me in this space, and so I reciprocate accordingly. Well, when you work in agriculture, you've got to realize there's a pretty small sorority out here, man. You keep pissing in the stream, eventually you're going to be one downstream yourself. So I think it's important to not do that. To your audience, my name is Damian Mason.
