And we're excited for you guys to be able to put those together and help roll those out. And that's the fun part is you get it.

So we just literally wanted the opportunity to do it for us. So we can send, you know, we have a guest on. Yeah. They never come to the studio. We don't have to physically handle something. We can let us know and send over. It's easy. That's the plan is we continue to get more organized. Yeah. That's our goal for the strategy is the thank you sign. We love our audience. Go buy it, please.

Yeah. You guys are creative.

Who's going to preface this here? Little ears, big ears.

Just like you guys said, you start off a lot of different directions.

Now we're battling with knives. Oh, look at that. Just in case you couldn't see. What else do you got in there? A few things. Is that a flashlight in your pocket?

It was 2021. First year of Farm for Fun.

So we thought it would be kind of neat. We run into these guys, and the Burkhart family story is Travis has a debilitating accident.

Yep, had a brain injury. And they created a foundation that helps pick up where insurance stops.

And they're doing this in his honor because Travis is still alive, still functioning, still being, you know, as a human, doing what he can do. Yep. Just has some physical limitations. Sure. But they didn't want any family to feel what they felt. During this process, after Travis's accident, they retired. Travis's dad, Mike, and his dad retired and they had a retirement sale.

Well, this was when TikTok was really blowing up for agriculture during COVID and a little bit after that. And a lot of people from TikTok were going to go out to that farm sale in December and support him. We weren't able to go. It was podcast related, I think. We couldn't physically go. We felt so bad. A way to say, hey, we support you, but not.

We got everybody together because everybody had a farm t-shirt that we knew and branded hats. We said, send them to us. We will create an auction because Dave's got an auction platform. And we'll just see how much money we can raise off these donated items. So we were getting hats and t-shirts and all of this cool stuff. And then it went beyond that.

And so the Burkhart family came out. We had a gathering at Dave's shop. Wow. Corey and I, we had to now ship all this stuff that was in my basement.

Because we shipped it all to my house. And then it was, okay, you bought this item and this item and this item. You got a Lower Farms hat and a Katie that Farms.

And out of almost fear, we've never done it again. We made. Yeah. Because we don't think we could replicate that.

And poor Dave. Poor Dave is going through how do we charge him for shipping. So they pay for the auction item. But then we had to quick get his wife what the shipping was going to be based upon the size of the package we were using. Oh, shit. So it was a learning experience. We would do it differently going forward if we ever did it again. We would use a ship.

So you guys know what your shipping is.

Well, we're just extremely good looking.

I can't believe I didn't see that coming. I really didn't even see that coming because that's a joke I would make.

Did your mom not love you? My mom told me I'm a special officer. I know she did.

I think that's great. I do, and I appreciate the perspective you guys have shared. This is a unique interview for us. You're contributing to agriculture in a completely different way. You're still helping agriculture grow and the awareness grow because I guarantee you, you've shipped items to every state, correct?

but i do too i'm trying to get used to that shirt and that's the biggest thing i made you a crew so why do we like hoodies though because we don't wear the hood up all the time right not all the time no but i think it just i don't know it just feels good it just you do because it's weird my thought process around that is i like the hoodies when i'm outside but if i have to if i get chilly in the house i put on a crew neck okay i go to sit in a chair i don't agree that's why i don't like that either so can we have it's the pocket

I remember those from baseball. That was the most annoying thing in baseball.

What is the point of this?

Yeah. That was in that weird phase of Under Armour started coming out. And then you had everybody wearing the long-sleeve Under Armour, which, you know, oh, it's great for, you know, it's not too hot and it's not too cold. Yeah. And you're like, yeah, but try peeling that thing off after you're sweaty. Right, right.

You just turn into a snail, the shape of a snail trying to get it peeled off your body.

You guys sell those TikTok t-shirts? I don't know what that is. What's that? I was telling these guys about it. Maybe I get in the wrong algorithm, but it's a t-shirt that's more tight around your shoulders and your chest, and then it's loose in your stomach. Oh, it's like the dad bod shirt. The dad bod shirt. Oh, okay, yes.

Dave's going to buy you some. He buys all the girls clothes. I can't believe, I think we could talk forever. I can't believe we've talked as long as we have, but this was well overdue. I appreciate it. Thanks for having us. And your patience, the way today kind of got SOS'd on us. We don't have a schedule.

So remind the listeners that are still listening, where do they go to find the gear and support you guys?

So are you guys like coffee connoisseurs? Not really. We like coffee, but not connoisseurs.

Yep.

There you go. That's why we're there. I said it. Took us a while to get there, but that's why we're there. Yeah. Well, we appreciate you guys. Yeah, we do. Thanks, guys. Awesome. Corey, what do you tell the listeners? Crack a cold one. You deserve it.

It's ground. Grounded? Is it ground? Grounded. I'm very grounded. You're grounded, holding the coffee. He's got the neutral. That is cool.

Thank you.

I've always... Showcase that a little bit. I've always loved the double F. Yeah. Because we, you know, as you guys are well aware, we struggle with farm for profit. Yeah, yeah. How do you make that look cool and what you do with it and all these things. And who would have thought when you launch something that you really got to pay that close attention to your logo. Right, right.

Or your company name. And then all of a sudden it becomes something and you can't change it. Right. Or shouldn't. And that's... What? We do all a lot. So that's...

Yes, thank you for all the gifts. But now I want to go back to little Ben. Yeah. And little Morgan. What was it like before each other? You guys grow up in a higher culture?

The way better show.

Very strategic.

It is. It is, and we're going to do a really fast episode, so that way our guest doesn't end up in the sun. No, I'm kidding.
