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!
