We sit down with Caden Gustafson. Caden is Bryon's son and used to work the gun counter for North40 Outfitters in Great Falls, Montana. We thought a good discussion for our campfire today would be to talk a little more about the types of guns that Joe might get to have his first successful season of hunting. Caden offers his knowledge from selling guns previously to help Joe narrow down his choices. We also open up a new beer and it might be the worst beer we have ever tried.

We sit around the campfire with Stephen Underwood. Stephen is the lead pastor at Central Christian Church in Great Falls Montana.

From the church website:

“We are an inclusive people openly welcoming persons of all sexual orientation, gender, gender identity/expression, race, ethnicity, socio-economic status or any other designation of individuals who have known the pain of exclusion and discrimination by the church and society. We declare ourselves to be an Open and Affirming congregation, professing that all people are God’s children and deserve full inclusion in the life, leadership, ministry, fellowship, worship, sacraments of communion and baptism, as well as the church rites of marriage, death, and ordination, and the responsibilities, and blessings of participation in our congregation. With open hearts, open minds, and open doors, we invite anyone who seeks God’s amazing grace to join our church family. As Disciples, we find identity at the Lord’s table, practicing open communion for all and embracing our mission of building bridges of grace from the welcome table to every table.”

We felt it was great timing to have him on during Pride month, and discuss the LGBTQ community and what it is like to be an openly gay pastor. This was such an amazing talk and we can't wait for you to listen in.

We sit around the campfire with Author Ryan Busse. This chat starts with Ryan attending through a video chat and after he leaves the conversation, Joe and Bryon let some of their personal feelings fly!

"Ryan Busse is a former firearms executive who helped build one of the world’s most iconic gun companies, and was nominated multiple times by industry colleagues for the prestigious Shooting Industry Person of The Year Award. Busse is an environmental advocate who served in many leadership roles for conservation organizations, including as an advisor for the United States Senate Sportsmen’s Caucus and the Biden Presidential Campaign. He remains a proud outdoorsman, gun owner, father, and resident of Montana." - ryanbusseauthor.com

In his book "Gun Fight," Busse ..."reveals how his industry radicalized a large swathe of America, and explains how it must change before we can reduce gun violence and heal as a nation." - ryanbusseauthor.com

We sit around the campfire with Shirstie Gaylord. She started at the Great Falls Farmer's Market selling some cool Montana themed apparel, and just four short years later opened her second store front. She gives a lot of this credit to her husband Eric, but join us to hear about all the cool details. Nothing is off topic in this conversation where we cover reality TV, behind the scenes production, California, megalopolises, confidence, and we scatter the normal banter that you all have come to enjoy.

Sit back and enjoy this chat around a campfire with Michele Levine. She shares with us about her past, her family, her hobbies, the effects that trauma have, and which Montana National park is best! She was formerly a Judge for the 8th Judicial District, Cascade County, Montana, but was not confirmed, and we talk a little about what happened and why she is running to reclaim her seat at the bench. If you plan on voting on June 7th (we hope you do) this is a great way to be a little more informed.
