My beautiful bride Heidi is going to stick around for at least this little break here because we got something to talk about. It's kind of sad news, and uh I'll let you share the sad news, Heidi. We had to say goodbye to Dan Fair. Yeah, our dear friend Dan. A lot of
folks who listened to this radio station know that voice, that name. He worked with us since twenty eighteen, worked in radio and Sue Fall South Dakota for the last thirty almost forty years. Very familiar voice, very familiar name, and it was earlier this year. He stepped away from his radio duties here because he, sadly two years ago, was informed that he had cancer, and cancer he fought it like a boss. He got to ring the bell after chemo and radiation, and sadly, cancer likes to fight back,
and he got it again. And then he fought back, and then he had some hard issues and he fought back, and sadly, in July things took a turn for the worse and he spent some time in a hospital, and then a little bit of time in a nursing home and the last month at Ava's house. And I want to just say, amazing people. I mean just amazing people. You couldn't ask for a better place to spend your final days. The nurses, the staff, even the cleaning crew. Everybody
there was so amazing, wouldn't you say it was? It was a beautiful experience. It was again I wish I met them under different circumstances. But again the sad thing is again it was Dan's final month of his life and he spent it in a great place with wonderful people who cared so much about him. And again, hats off to the whole crew at Ava's house. You guys are amazing. We are in the process of planning a celebration of life. When we have the details on that, we'll certainly let folks know.
Again, it was wonderful to spend the last month or two with Dan in again sad, sad position, but he was in a very good place. He's a believer. He was absolutely positive he was heading to heaven and I believe strongly that's where he is today. So again, it was so difficult to say goodbye and he's gone, but he has definitely not forgotten. He's larger than life and we'll be really really missed. Absolutely. Thank you

Thanks for listening to the John and Heidi Show. Excited to visit with a very funny comedian in the Sioux Falls area, Dylan Times and Dylan has a great event coming up next month. First of all, Dylan, thanks for your time today. I appreciate it, sir. Thank
you very excited to do this. This is awesome. Well, and I've had a chance to see you perform and we've we've worked together a couple of times. You're a funny, funny guy. You're a young man as well. You're just like getting started. How if you don't mind me asking how old are you Dylan? For that, I'm thirty one years old, and I'm just trying to think back to when i was thirty one. I don't think I had it all together like you do. So you're doing really good.
I think that's awesome as very nice some time my best. Well, and you've been putting on shows and you've done quite a few comedy shows in the area, and the one that we're going to talk about today that's coming up next month, this is one that means a lot to you. And it's also it's a good cause and it's a good time. So let's talk about first of all, why you're doing this show, and then we'll tell folks where it is and when it is and all of that. Yeah.
First, I'm a Native American comedian. I'm from pine Ridge, South Dakota, and the time I'm from is Overlalla Suit. When I started doing comedy three years ago, I wanted to always like try and do something that's bigger than me, and this Barre project. They're a nonprofit in pine Ridge, South Dakota, and I've witnessed this happened firsthand. I could start with the
story. It's a two years ago they had a benefit for Pine Ridge in Chicago, Illinois, and the two ladies in charge, Tiny and Eileen, they chose me, of all people, to fly to Chicago and represent my tribe in our hometown. And there's other native comedians there too, from like Indianapolis, Cincinnati, from Chicago itself, and I really got to represent.
It was pretty cool. But unfortunately back last year in November, Aileen passed away and that stuck with me and I told Tiny earlier this year when I visited all I wanted to do something cool in her honor, but I also wanted to honor every other relatively lost because I feel like everybody's experienced grief, me personally my grandparents, but I know we're deeply affected and we try to
carry their spirits forward by doing cool stuff. And the story that I wanted to say was that this Bear Project not only did they fly me out for a comedy show, and on our way back, flying back to South Dakota, they go to Goodwill and they get like a bunch of like Halloween costumes and decorations for all the kids back home. And this is the type of stuff that this program likes to do. They really are there for the youth of Pine Ridge. I mean, whether they're teenagers or kids, they like
doing this stuff for the love of it. And one of them's gone, and that's such a pillar to the reservation. But I feel like it's like our time to come together and step up. I can't be like them, but I could do stuff in my own way by using comedy and maybe hopefully in the future, using pro wrestling too. I love that. I think that's really really cool. Again. The event is for the Bear Project at the Pine Ridge Pine Ridge Reservation. But the event is happening in Sioux Falls
and it's going to be at Lucky's downtown Suit Falls in the basement. It's a great location for a comedy show, isn't it. Yes, No, that's like one of my favorite rooms. It's the coolest venue. And if we can get a kind of people in there, it's going to be five dollars to get in. I'm trying to pack it with as much comics as people can see so they could get the showcase. And all the proceeds will go directly to the Bear Project, so you know where your money is going.
It's going to go towards the use of their reservation. And again it is coming up next month. It is on October night. That's a Monday night. But that you picked that day specifically because again, there's so significance to that day, isn't there Indigenous People's Day. So again Monday, October night, and a lot of folks have that day off work. Not everybody,
but you know some folks have that day off work. So if you've got the day off work, when you have that day that long weekend, just remember, hey, I can end by long weekend by doing something really fun, watching stand up comedy, helping benefit the Bear Project and having a really really, really good time. And you priced it, I think so low. Five dollars is amazingly low price. If they want to give more, though, they can right absolutely, And again, Dylan Times is the
gentleman we're talking to right now. You're one of many comedians that are performing that night. Do you know exactly how many? Because there's a big long list, isn't there. I'm honestly I lost count at ten sifa and more. And I haven't designed like a music festival, so it's going to be like a ton of names. But all the comics they're only going to do five times for five minutes of time. So I want to showcase as much people as I can. I think it's going to be a really good time.
I'm excited to help with it. It's coming up on October night, that's a Monday night. Again. I've got a link to this at sus Falls Comedy dot com. And again, Dylan, thank you so much for putting your heart into this. I appreciate it, sir, thank you so much. I'm very grateful for this. Again, Dylan Times has been our guest today talking about a stand up comedy benefit. It's coming up on Monday,
October the ninth. You can get all of the details at Facebook dot com, slash Sunny Radio, Facebook dot com, slash su Falls News, and of course at Sioux Falls Comedy dot com.

This day in Sioux Falls History is brought to you by the Sioux Falls Fund Page, West Sioux
Studios and Sunny ninety three point three. It was on this day, September nineteenth, nineteen twenty one Columbus College hosts students for the first day of classes in Sioux Falls. Catholic Bishop Thomas O'Gorman had a vision to create a massive Catholic college in Sioux Falls to rival the likes of Notre Dame in Indiana. His first order of business was to secure funding and the grounds to build a campus to fit his vision. With mockups for his idea in hand, he
went to the board of regents of Columbus College in Chamberlain. He convinced them to move their entire school nearly one hundred and fifty miles to Sioux Falls. Unfortunately, the bishop passed away on September eighteenth, nineteen twenty one, just one day before the school opened. The diocese would keep O'Gorman's vision alive for many years to come, seeing the college grow to a fairly decent enrollment in the early nineteen twenties. However, declining enrollment led to the school closure in
nineteen twenty nine. Later on, the buildings and the grounds of Columbus College would become the beautiful new home of the Royal Johnson Veterans Hospital.
