My dad is back on the podcast this week. He was full of more stories, and we laughed so much. So much so that this 4 hour recording session is split into two episodes. Other topics: Taking Esia to airsoft, Shit details in the Marines, Flying commercial planes, famous people he flew, colorful people he flew, how Mom thought he died in a plane crash, that time Andy Interviewed Hillary Clinton, How Tom ended up in the SD Air National Guard, why dad was gone when I was born, traveling the world in the air guard, the difference between the air guard and the Air Force, pranks and goofing off in the old days on base, the movie M*A*S*H is superior to the TV show M*A*S*H but the book M*A*S*H is better than both.

Josh Vanden Top is a shooting buddy, a dad, a designer of tooling, and self-identifies as a 3-gunner. He and I both shot at USPSA Multigun Nationals in Forest Lake Minnesota in late July, and he was a storm chaser. We talk a lot of shooting, but we also talk about dad life, storm chasing, and how he designs tools that someone makes so other people can make other stuff with the tools (I think I understood that).

Joe Erickson is my brother, is the owner/operator/painter of Painter Joe’s Painting, a big (snobby) fan of fancy whiskey, and a newlywed. He doesn’t like how I like whiskey or my level of enthusiasm for trying a 21 year Bushmills. We also talk about camping in places that are not campgrounds, tourist traps in the Black Hills, and Slim Buttes in Harding County. Plus how he shot a hole in his buddy’s roof.
