Andy's Things and Stuff

Back in 2015, when Tasha and I were doing the old morning show, Patrick Sayegh contacted us about something we were talking about. He is a resident of Paris, France but had recently returned home from a two year stint in Brookings to help build a cheese factory. He listened to us a little bit on his brief commutes to work. When he got home he started listening to our whole show in his office. We have been online pen pals ever since. This podcast is the first day we had ever met him in person. It was a lot of fun!

Andy Hanson is a dad, a husband, an Army Guard Officer, and a garbage man. He is one of my favorite people to talk to because he never has nothing to talk about. He captures crazy stuff he finds on his garbage route on Snapchat, has a passion for shooting and hunting, and history. The best part of this episode was talking about the Battle of Slim Buttes in Harding County, South Dakota, not long after the Battle of Little Big Horn. We went long and had a fantastic time and a ton of laughs!

I'm back, sort of. I haven't posted a show in about a month and I'm sorry about that. But there is a good explanation as to why.

Jared Stepp is from the Salt Lake City area, he's a cop, a shooter, an instructor (his company Waypoint Training), and a pretty funny dude. We talked about cop stories, shooting stuff, and Jared's mission to get cops better at shooting so they are ready for it when they need it someday. We also talk bourbon and how wonderful it is.

Dad's funeral was this past Thursday, August 31, 2023. My family has received dozens of messages, social media comments, and other incredible tributes written and sent to us, which was eye opening. We had no idea how much he meant to other people and how many people he touched. As I was working on the obituary, Mom said "We need to make fun of him, too." So that's what this episode is. You will hear Sydney Powers, my nieces best friend and friend of Dad's, read a number of the kind notes that were sent to us. Then I tell several fun stories about Dad. Next week I will return to normal episodes and celebrate the one year anniversary of the podcast!

Robert Wyatt lives in the Salt Lake City area, is co-host of the PARAcast podcast (Spotify, Apple), and designs homes for a living. He's also a rabid USPSA shooter, like me. We mostly talk shooting, but we also talked a fair bit about our Vietnam veteran fathers, and he started designing homes at 13 and still does. Topics covered: heinous safety violations, why our right ears our losing hearing, getting accidentally shot at, the PARAcast's podcast is not about ghosts, Mormons are preppers? reloading mistakes and good advice we didn't listen to, how to record podcasts, the USPSA coup d'etat, and much more. SIOUX FALLS SHOOTING can help you have a good time safely with your guns, learn to shoot, get better at shooting, or get your South Dakota Enhanced Carry Permit, and you will have fun in the process.

I met Dustin back in 2016 when we were going to start teaching classes at a now defunct gun shop in Harrisburg. Then he and the other guys on the board at Sioux River Sportsmen's Club volun-told me to join the board, of which Dustin is the president. He's a husband, a dad, a woodworker, cabinet installer, enthsiast of meticulous things that are hard to do, and he drove 500 miles with one broken rifle to hunt deer.
