Andy Erickson, a former morning radio host in Sioux Falls, breathes into a microphone once again. Likely topics discussed are how great and irritating Sioux Falls can be, things that are amusing, stuff that is hypocritical, and probably some stuff about shooting and hunting and kids and family and friends.
Bert Shoumaker is a cop, a husband and father, and one of my buddies I met in shooting. We talk shooting quite a bit, and Bert tells some more hilarious stories from his work as a police officer. We had a lot of fun!

Brad “Murdoc” Jurgenson is the president of The Homeslice Group, a company with it’s fingers in marketing, radio, media, live event production, and artist management. He’s also a podcaster, hosting his Dakota Town Hall and the Book of Murdoc. I met him at Black Hills State University over 20 years ago at the college radio station. We talk about how he got fired from college radio, what’s wrong with the radio industry, how to fix it, good times at BHSU, and our radio mentor, the legendary Dave Diamond! This was so much fun!

This episode is hilarious and intense. Andy Hanson is an intense guy and I love hanging out with him. I met Andy back in 2016 when he was running Gunway and had me out to the store to teach classes and helped me get my business going. He has served in the South Dakota National Guard for over 20 years, is a GWOT veteran having served in Iraq and Afghanistan, and he is a husband and father. He was also very candid in talking about what it’s like for soldiers returning home, and how he managed to get “bored” while in combat. This one is a gem!

Dan Buresh is from Madison, SD and he is a hunting nerd. We talk about his coveted elk tag he drew in Montana this year, western hunting, rifles for hunting, the delicious Jefferson’s Ocean bourbon he brought me. Dan is also a volunteer firefighter and we talked about the stress involved with that huge responsibility. I also tell the story of how I became an RA in the dorms at BHSU and got fired. This is a long episode, but it was a good one!

Mike Miller (not that one) is a dad and a podcaster. He is one of the hosts of The Lunchbox Podcast. We talk about him being adopted from Korea and growing up in Tyler, MN, crazy 9/11 conspiracy theories, argue about the best pizza, sports are fubar, and why Scheel’s really needs a self-checkout, and why it also would be a bad place to be in the zombie apocalypse.

My buddy Tyler is back on the podcast. We were in Ankeny, IA to shoot the Iowa Section USPSA match and recorded a podcast on one microphone. I also tell the greatest poop story ever told. Plus a fun fact about the man who killed the man who killed Abraham Lincoln. We laughed a lot on this one, hope you enjoy!

It’s been one year since I started the podcast! Thanks for listening! Last week I was out in Pierre with my buddy Jeremy Williams for a training class. I suggested we go shoot prairie dogs in the Fort Pierre National Grassland the day before. I had done this many times, he never had. We talk about that, shooting, our love of Mexican food, and we sip whiskey out of hotel paper coffee cups.

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! For my regular listeners, thank you for listening and allowing me to use this passion project of mine to also be some sort of catharsis.
The audio quality is not great, there was a buzz in the church audio system. I did my best to get rid of it.

This weeks episode, and probably next week’s episode are going to be different. My family had our collective hearts broken on Friday, August 25, 2023. My dad, Tom Erickson, was driving to Sioux Falls on old 77, nine miles north of Beresford, when a man driving a giant tractor hauling silage, blew through the stop sign and collided with his car. He died on impact. I speak for a couple of minutes about how great Dad was, and then I play the episode I recorded with him back in March. Mourn with me for the first few minutes, then laugh along with us as I hang out with my dad and hear him tell stories in the way that only he could.
