Flaman Connect Trevor Grinde, Regan Kunz & Mitch Flaman

Trevor, Regan, and Mitch sing a sad song about kids being warned about snakes in a barn, barns burning down, and country music going to heck after the 90’s.
Then Flaman’s Shaun Gettis brings the mood up with a rousing little number about remote bin monitoring, and the sweet security of knowing neither fire nor snakes will get your grain.
Finally, Rocky Amson of Flaman performs a show-stopper about his time working with the one and only Frank Flaman. It’s a colourful ditty about being collared for an un-attempted bank heist, eating a guinea pig head on a charitable excursion, and getting punched out by a boxing champion for Christmas.

Regan Kunz - Grain Systems Division Manager, Flaman
Mitch Flaman - Senior Manager Marketing & IT, Flaman

Want an eye for a fry? Have a tooth for a hoof? Then dig in as Trevor, Regan, and Mitch open a bizarre buffet of edible animal parts and insects. Yum yum!
Then Flaman VP Shaun Gettis explains why grain bagging will be around for a long time. But with a great storage solution comes great responsibility to clean up after you’re done.

What do a palm civet and a percolator have in common? Get ready to make your “Ewww” face when Trevor, Regan, and Mitch deliver the unfiltered answer.
Next: Diesel, gasoline, electric, or chain hooked to an old exercise bike. Which one of these options is so ridiculous that Flaman’s Shaun Gettis won’t even mention it when he talks about powering your auger?
Then Lori Nelson of TopKrop drops by for some non-stop non-shop talk. Turns out there’s a lot more to her than a great career as a highly efficient Procurement and Logistics Coordinator. Before that, she was a highly efficient softball shortstop, who bagged bases, championships, and a hall-of-fame spot. Hear her thoughts on family perogies and a mother’s right to grandstand vocalization.
PLUS her apparent fascinations with Ryan Reynolds, Jason Bateman, and stalkers (in books and TV shows only, thanks).
