EPISODE 141 DETAILS
Welcome to your Outdoors & Western Lifestyle news outlet, The Bend Radio Show & Podcast available on SiriusXM Rural Radio Channel 147, AM / FM Radio, and on all Podcast Players. BEC & Tigger dive into the dog days of summer as they are upon us. There's a new study from Harvard University that dogs are 11% more likely to bite on a sunny or hot day than on a rainy day. Remember, if you are feeling uncomfortable in the hot weather months so are our pets. Always have available shade, fresh cool water and give them less activity.
SPOTLIGHT
Our Spotlight shines this week on the National High School Finals Rodeo taking place as we speak in Gillette, Wyoming. “75 Years of Roping, Riding and Mentorship” is the theme as Top Cowboys & Cowgirls compete in the 75th Anniversary of this epic event, the National High School Final Rodeo.
Deemed the “World's Largest Rodeo”, the NHSRA Finals features more than 1,700 contestants representing 44 states, and 5 Canadian Provinces, as well as coming from as far as Australia, New Zealand, and Mexico. These top-notch Cowboys and Cowgirls are competing for more than just huge cash and prizes, but also there is more than $375,000 in college scholarships and hope to be named the National High School Finals Rodeo World Champion.
Events include: Bareback Riding, Saddle Bronc and Bull Riding in the rough stock events where 8 seconds never took so long.
Barrel Racing, Breakaway Roping, Tie Down Roping, Team Roping, Steer Wrestling, Goat Tying, and Pole Bending in the timed events where SECONDS, hundredths of a second can make or break the win!
Cutting & Reining Cow Horse top the Judged Events. Plus the annual Queen competition…
And LASTLY an added competition over recent years; that has us here at The Bend Show extremely excited is Shooting Sports. Included are competitions in the rifle .22 caliber and shotgun trap shooting. “Life Long Sports” being recognized on a national level for our youth always is a thumbs up on this outfit.
We wish ALL contestants competing as we speak, having traveled near or far, to make the most memorable time while in Gillette, Wyoming!
 
NEWS
Taiwan - Has a new dish that everyone’s excited about!! I could see some of our southeastern fans already ahead of the game on this Trending Food Dish. The dish is Frog Ramen, it’ll cost you about $8 American money, and is ramen noodles served with a whole frog on the top. The broth, liquid contains scallion onions and clams. Now I do enjoy Frog Legs… and love ramen, however at this point, I’ll be passing on this delicacy of a dish for now!
iPhone Alert Launched - The Apple iPhone has gained a new feature called the “Screen Distance” alert. This alert will sound if the iPhone is held too close to your face. Apple says, “Increasing the distance the device is viewed from can help children lower their risk of myopia and gives adult users the opportunity to reduce digital eye strain.” Think about it, have you been dealing with symptoms that could be from using your smartphone too close? Apple has also stated, “Screen Distance in Screen Time uses the TrueDepth camera to encourage users to move their device farther away after holding it closer than 12 inches from their face for an extended period of time.” 
Deodorant - Yay or Nay when spending time outdoors? Current Biology Journal has published a new study revealing that wearing deodorant reduces the risk of mosquito bites by 56%. Mosquitoes can pick up body odor 350 feet away! Wearing deodorant makes a person less attractive to mosquitoes because they do not like the fragrant smell or a compound found in deodorants called isopropyl tetradecanoate.
Beach Umbrellas & SPF Makeup Are Useless
Cleveland Clinic released a new study revealing that SPF makeup and umbrellas to shield yourself from the sun is INEFFECTIVE. Researchers studied scores of people… What was discovered was that 78% of individuals using a beach umbrella still ended up with a sunburn. AND that 25% of the study participants who used SPF Makeup were sunburned. Experts state, prior to using SPF Makeup, first apply a good broadspectrum sunscreen to your face then allow time for it to dry before applying and going about your normal make-up routine! BES T be safe and beat not just the aging process but the skin cancer risk especially!

How To Hook Fish In The Weeds?
Now that summer is hot across the country and beyond, that means the vegeation has become often times our biggest battle us anglers face. This week Pro's Pointers come from Johnnie Candle, Pro Angler and Fishing Guide. Solutions are offered to beat the weeds, hook the walleyes and keep tight lines in order to land the fish.
 
The Bend Field Staffer:
Johnnie Campbell; learn more or book a guided trip visit JohnnieCandle.com

As we fish deeper depths, the North Dakota Game & Fish is encouraging anglers to consider when landing walleye and other deeper species to keep those fish versus returning to the water (catch & release). Because the temperature difference is so great from the deeper levels past 25 feet, bringing these fish to the surface lowers their chance of survival greatly if released back into the water. Learn more here.
 
CRAZY AUCTION FINDS & WHAT CAN COST
Last week Tigger had a great interview with Amber Haugland of Hauglands Action Auction. Amber Haugland is a female auctioneer, hear what she has to say when asked what crazy item got sold in a vehicle at auction... It's definitely not for ALL eyes. OOPS.
Then hear how one man's junk is another treasure. She shares how selling a tractor auction in Minnesota shocked many as this auction was a treasure containing tractors where only maybe 10 were left in existence. The tractors brought HUGE amounts of money! Take a listen!

HEALTH WATCH
Night Owls Die Younger: The Chronobiology International Journal has published a new study revealing that night owls are more likely to die younger than non-night owls. 20,000 people were studied, and it was discovered that night owls make poor lifestyle choices. Activities available late at night tend to not be the healthiest choices. Examples include it’s more tempting for drinking, smoking and eating poorly. After dark, people are less likely to be eating salads and exercising. The study revealed that night owls have a 21% greater chance of dying younger than people whom call themselves a “Morning Person”.
 
COOKING TREND
And now for a little, What’s Cooking or NOT
Mustard Diet Is Trending:
 
A social media influencer is claiming to have lost 80 pounds on what she’s calling, “The Mustard Diet”. Using zero-calorie mustard, the influencer is dunking vegetables and fruit into it, and the protein source is cottage cheese and chicken sausage. 
NOW - BEC’s got an issue with this. How sustainable is it to live off of just cottage cheese forever??? As for Mustard itself. We are one hundred percent about keeping this natural and low-carb, low-calorie condiment on hand for ALL your meals! Our favorite by far is Mickey’s Mustard! Are they a sponsor of this show, you bet! But that is because we are selective, picky and only direct you to where we feel your money is well spent. We love using Mickey’s Mustard on everything from Eggs Benedict to smothering on our pork loins to even turning into a vinaigrette on our salads. 101 uses for the stuff and it’s not going to hurt the waistline either!

SPOTLIGHTGift Certificates… Still Good! We want to give a shout-out to the Muehlebach Hotel in Kansas City, MO. Tim and Melinda O’Brien stayed at this hotel the first night of their marriage in 1983. When sifting thru old photos, the groom came upon a gift certificate in a keepsake box from their wedding 40 years ago. 
The voucher read, “The Muehlebach Lifetime Honeymoon Certificate” and that “This certifies that anytime you stay at the Muehlebach during your anniversary month, your room rate will be the same as your original honeymoon rate.”  The coupon also showed that the O’Briens had paid $38 to stay for one night in Room No. 314 at the Muehlebach Hotel. Upon finding this certificate, Tim O’Brien gave it a 50-50 chance that the hotel now under new management would consider honoring the certificate 
 and decided to contact the hotel located in Downtown Kansas City and surprise his bride 40 years later. Luck was in his favor, the management agreed this was such a neat story. The same room that was then $38 and all the couple could afford for a one-night honeymoon as they were both college students, now holds a nightly rate closer to $250. Congratulations to the O’Briens on 40 years and if you’re passing thru Kansas City and would like to stay there as well as this hotel has quite a bit of history, it was a favorite of President Harry S Truman as well as the Beatles were said to have stayed. If you’re interested too in staying at the historic Muehlebach Hotel, it now operates under the name Kansas City Marriott Downtown.
NEWSAustralia - An American tourist recently got into a fight with a kangaroo while visiting a Wildlife Park in Australia. The kangaroo had been following a woman and child when the American intervened to ward off the kangaroo. This resulted in the American tourist and the kangaroo getting into a boxing match... with the kangaroo trying to drop-kick the tourist! The woman that had been followed, being a Mom as she is, walked up to the fighting kangaroo, scolding it harshly, causing the kangaroo to stop fighting and scurry off… Guess a Mother’s yell works on more than just the kids!
Texas - A female angler recently ended an excellent day of fishing, walking away with a largemouth bass catch of a lifetime. Lea Anne Powell landed this trophy fish on Ivie Lake near San Angelo, Texas. The International Game & Fish Association (IGFA) certified the largemouth bass weighing in at 12 lbs 3oz as the new World Record for the 12lb line weight class. 
According to KETK, Lea Anne Powell’s lunker was caught on 10-pound Seaguar Red Label line and is considered the biggest largemouth bass ever caught for the line class of 12 pounds. Congrats Lea Anne Powell!
Traveling Heads Up.. on this story, and could happen in a number of situations not just the one I’m about to share… Heading to Miami where an exotic dancer was arrested for stealing $62,000 from a potential client. The exotic dancer kept pouring tequila shots down her to be client’s throat. SO as you can imagine the man became so intoxicated that he could not even stand. She then stole the man’s phone and wallet, and she transferred $62,000 total between his Chase, Wells Fargo and American Express accounts!! Police did arrest her, and she tried to claim that the man had authorized the transactions. The exotic dancer has been charged with Theft. So as said earlier, this could happen to anyone if were “over served”; so please when traveling do be aware and be safe.
Coffee Lovers - A recent study released by Columbia University revealed that sipping coffee throughout the day is terrible for the teeth. They say that even thou tooth enamel is the hardest mineralized substance in your body, prolonged exposure to acid and acidic liquids can cause the teeth to demineralize, erode and become more susceptible to cavities.Best to enjoy that cup of coffee, tea, juice in a single setting then throughout the day!
How To Enjoy The Fourth Of July OutdoorsTigger takes the reins on this interview. Jeff 'Tigger' Erhardt is an auctioneer, and when he crossed paths with a woman changing the game.

ENTERTAINMENTLuke Combs shared a little wisdom the other day that many of us can take to heart and do so ourselves. Especially in these busy times while we are all burning the night oil it seems - haying or harvesting at all hours, hauling big loads across the country, or working two jobs to make ends meet. Luke Combs being a newer father with another on the way, sat down recently wanting folks to know how something as simple as a picture of his son or a short video of “Home Life” from his wife can completely make his WHOLE day. 
As he put it, it’s a serotonin dump and all the hard work is worth it seeing his family grow, laugh and live. Even just a simple video of his little guy bouncing around in a chair, whatever they’re doing and seeing it, knowing he’s thought of too makes everything worth it. 
So there ya have it, remember to be doing that with your loved ones. Send those texts, pictures, and videos to those that might not be right there as they’re working or traveling; let them know they are remembered, loved and missed!
Chris Stapleton - In the mood for a little Shopping?? Have a country concert or wedding coming up and you are in the market for a new pair of cowboy boots? It was announced this week that Chris Stapleton has teamed up with Lucchese Bootmaker for a new signature line of boots,, celebrating artistry through superior craftsmanship and vintage designs. I took a look online and if you’re interested in a pair, be prepared to spend between $700 to $1200 bucks.
FOOD PARTY TRENDS
BRIDES listen up! Those still trying to pull off nuptials this year or thinking of how to be unique down the road. They say anything goes these days when it comes to weddings and that can include the food too. A recent bride has gone viral for after her very fancy wedding ceremony, she served $1,000 worth of Mcdonald's food to her guests! Wedding guests dined on cheeseburgers, McNuggets, and french fries! The bride chose not to have a wedding cake and got  Uber Eats to deliver the wedding meal. I gotta say, I love this! And from what I’ve heard, the guests did too. And as a “going home” treat, guests were sent home with another order of McDonald's… perfect thinking if you ask me as after a night of dancing and maybe a drink or two… Who doesn’t appreciate a late-night snack?

EPISODE 139 DETAILS
Deer lottery and Elk or other big game lottery results are being announced. How have you faired in your state? Many states cut back on their license numbers for the big game tags due to the long winter this last year. Tigger & BEC were both surprisingly successful. Both Tigger & BEC were drawn for "any antlered buck tags" in their state. Having resident rifle buck tags means that they now are able to harvest either a mule deer buck or a whitetail buck. Were you successful? Have you noticed a drop in tags available for big game in your state? Big Game is considered such as deer, elk, moose, bear, and big horn sheep just to name a few.
SPOTLIGHT
 
Age is ONLY a number. Today we spotlight one woman that’s not spending her days bored sitting around the retirement home. 84-year-old Kim Knor of Grand Haven, Michigan spends her days skydiving instead. You heard right, Sky Diving. Kim Emmons Knor knew she wanted to skydive after her uncle brought home a military parachute from World War II. 
After forging her parents' signatures, Kim Emmons Knor made her first jump back in 1959. She then sold all her possessions and bought a Eurail Pass and an open-ended plane ticket so she could travel as a “Parachute Enthusiast”, visiting 21 countries. Kim Emmons Knor was one of only two women to compete against men in the 1961 Team Tryouts at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and in 1962 made history as a member of the first U.S Women’s Parachute Team and they won Gold! 
She has been inducted into the International Sky Diving Hall of Fame and Her long-time goal is to complete 1,000 skydives, currently, Kim Emmons Knor has 400 skydives to go to reach that goal! And last weekend, she completed 3 skydives! Can you imagine, 600 skydives completed? NOW that is pushing the limits and still doing so at 84 years of age! You’re an inspiration Mrs. Kim Emmons Knor
 
 
NEWS
Football Fans and Hunting Enthusiasts stood behind Carson Wentz, the NFL Quarterback when he made national headlines after returning from a Bucket List Alaskan Bear Hunt. The hunt was for an archery black bear and had been done so according to legal Alaska hunting laws. 
What made this National News was when Carson Wentz shared the success of his hunt on social media the non-hunters grabbed at the opportunity to “Hate” on an Outdoorsman. The social media instagram post Carson Wentz shared was captioned, “Got the opportunity to spot and stalk black bear in one of our new favorite places on earth— Alaska! Incredible trip and an incredible animal!” 
Carson Wentz has never been afraid to share his love for the outdoors and of course, social media along with National News outlets had a hay day trying to drag hunting, the outdoors and this NFL player's name thru the mud. In BEC's opinion, this was a well-played move by Wentz to relate to other like-minded people as Carson Wentz is like many proud Americans that love the outdoors, hunting, and football. Congratulations Carson Wentz on your successful Alaskan Black Bear hunting adventure!

Lab Grown Meat
This next story, I’m touching on ONLY because it makes my blood boil. Not too often, you will hear me become opinionated; but this one I feel was very overlooked by major news outlets. Our attention was placed elsewhere is what I am saying, and owning that thought. Here we go.
Last week the US Department of Agriculture gave the green light for two companies to sell chicken meat that is “Lab Grown”. The companies, Upside Food and Good Meat, in an effort to be the first companies to sell meat that does not come from slaughtered animals; has created chicken using animal cells grown in a lab. Known as “Cultivated Meat’, it is grown in steel tanks and produced on large sheets that are then cut into shapes resembling chicken cutlets and sausages. Currently, this new meat source will not be sold in grocery stores as it’s more expensive to produce than traditional meat.
If you’re like BEC; she is not impressed with the approval on this one whatsoever, and we will leave it at that.
 
Strange Foods You Might Find…
Venturing north of the border, Canada that is. There’s a new cotton candy flavor being tested out by the dipping sauce company French’s. French's has launched ketchup-flavored Cotton Candy!! 
Also while in Canada, McDonald's has launched a new McFlurry Flavor - the Caramel Popcorn McFlurry!! And here at our local McD’s we only get the option of Oreo or M&M. Come on, let us Americans be the guinea pigs first for a change! Lastly, if you’re road tripping thru or near Columbia, Missouri. Sparky’s Homemade Ice Cream has gone viral on social media for serving up Moutain Dew and Doritos Ice Cream that is green in color! If you’ve had ANY of these newest flavors, let us know what your palette thought, a Thumbs Up or Down!
How To Enjoy The Fourth Of July Outdoors
 
Fishing! Tips from The Bend Show Field Staffer, Pro Angler Johnnie Candle. This week professional fisherman and fishing guide, Johnnie Candle, shares what is working right now for walleye fishing. Depending on where you are fishing; some lakes, rivers, and ponds may be showing signs of thick weed growth. To avoid getting hooked in the weeds, Johnnie Candle shares two types of jigs that are doing the trick and reeling in the trophy fish. 
 
Fishing is the perfect sport to do alone or with the family. Novice or experienced, the sport of fishing is one that is truly a Lifelong Sport. At any age, one can pick up a spinning rod or fly fishing rod, and toss a line. #tightlines Are always the goal, but the rewards of reeling in fish, and the excitement is one hard to beat. 
 
This summer and fall when heading out to enjoy the outdoors over the Fourth of July or any other holiday; remember the insect repellent. Across the country, there has been an increase in ticks which can result in nasty diseases that often go undetected such as Lyme disease. Mosquitos are another biter that can ruin a day fast, and this pest too can spread such diseases as West Nile. Be smart, "pack prepared" and don't forget the bug spray. Our household uses those with higher amounts of deet such as "Off Deep Woods", but that is up to you on what fits your needs. 
 
And always remember the SPF, aka the sunscreen. BEC & Tigger recently upped their game, and are now using 50 SPF sweat and waterproof sunscreens. Worried you won't get that summer glowing tan; they are both still tanning but without as much of the worry surrounding skin cancer.

ENTERTAINMENT
Miranda Lambert - If you weren’t a fan already, we have a feeling many of you will give a nod of approval to these latest claims about the famous country star. According to OK! Magazine, Miranda Lambert is allegedly considered to be the most Frugal Country Star in Nashville. Heck Yay! I like her more already! A source claims that eats at chain restaurants, takes freebies when she can, and goes on all-inclusive vacations, including having recently stayed in Mexico at a chain all-inclusive resort. What’s wrong with that?!? BEC loves hearing when our famous folks are down-to-earth people just like us. A penny saved is a penny earned in our book!
YELLOWSTONE TV Drama prequel, 1923 starring Harrison Ford & Helen Mirren, the resolutions to those plot lines and other cliffhangers do not appear to be coming anytime soon due to the Writers Guild of America strike according to Country Living Magazine. Season one of 1923 ended in dramatic fashion, with the Dutton family ranch under attack while Spencer and Alex torn apart on their way to help save it. At this point, NBC Montana has commented that the project has been "delayed indefinitely" due to the Writers Guild of America strike.
 
FOURTH OF JULY FOOD TRENDS
 
Stir-Fried Rocks & Stone have become one of CHINA’s HOTTEST food dish trends and it’s making its way across the pond to the United States. Hear this one out… People are finding rocks and pebbles, taking the stones home and cleaning well these treasures before placing them amongst their stir-fry dishes while still hot…. WELL BEC hates to bust this cooking trend!!
Rock Cooking or Hot Stones Cooking has been used for 1,000s of years! It’s one of the Survival Basics taught if one is lost out in nature. Adding hot stones to a large bowl with a little oil and your meats and vegetables. Stir the stones and ingredients until the meat is well done. Just a tip thou, if you fail to stir it enough, BEC promises you it will burn. It’s called stir fry for a reason. Heat up 10 or more stones in the embers, wash them off first then toss into your concoction for a “rock stir fry”! Now thinking about this new “Trend”... Kinda glad it was brought up as this could be a really fun one to get the kids involved with! Give it a try and let us know how your crew enjoys the new challenge on your next camping trip!
Marshmallows. With the Fourth of July holiday week now upon us... Don’t forget the Marshmallows! We talked about this last week, and we thought would remind you to use the holiday as a reason to try some of the new flavors gracing the shelves… From the Stuffed Puffs brand, there is now Classic Milk Chocolate Marshmallows, Cookies’n Creme Marshmallows, and Salted Caramel filled or stuffed marshmallows with !! AND That’s not all…
For those wanting a Visual Effect at their campfire - There are Marshmallows out this camping season that change color while being toasted too!

EPISODE DETAILSBEC & Tigger share how the Outdoors and the Western Lifestyle go hand in hand. One of the only national news broadcasting couples, not only brings the latest headlines but also shares how their life is similar to many. 
A recent incident the couple had happened on their ranch is shared. Our host, BEC, tells us how we never are too old or seasoned to have a "rookie mistake". After a typical day of hauling a long distance, pulling a 30-foot stock trailer, it was after a Long Day that she forgot the simplest of things. Tigger jumps in to share how BEC delivered horses home, however after unloading horses and being hot, and sweaty; BEC jumped into the pickup to move the trailer to unhook the rig only to forget to close the back trailer door! With Tigger running across the pasture, frantically waving and yelling; did BEC then realize her mistake. Thankfully the trailer and door were not wrecked but laughed saying, "Yup - we're never too good to not have a 'rookie mistake' and that we love our 'working pen woes'. As Tigger chimes in that they keep life real by working out relationship issues 'On-Air'. The Bend Show kicks off with laughs!SPOTLIGHTRoad trips! Who doesn’t love Road Trips?! A new survey by Hi-Chew reveals that 66% of people say SNACKS can make or break a road trip. What says you?? I can completely agree with that!
And get this 71% of people say road trips give them a hall pass to eat as many snacks as they like. 
Lastly, it’s almost a 3-way tie when breaking down a road trip on the “Best Parts” of a road trip. 
The snacks, The company traveling with, and the stops along with way!!! 
Now for that reason to “Road Trip”... Last week we shared that The Bend Show was giving away a pair of tickets to hear & see true American cowboy, former saddle bronc rider Chancy Willams as he kicks off the start of the historic 144th Annual Mandan Rodeo Days in North Dakota. Chancy Williams will be joined by the country duo Southerland and country artist Zach Thomas.
Considered the oldest continuous rodeos, the Mandan Rodeo Days are three full days of PRCA top notch rodeo action held at the all-new Dale Pahlke Rodeo Arena at the Dakota Community Bank & Trust Rodeo Grounds in Mandan, North Dakota. 
Thank you ALL for texting and calling! It was fun sifting thru the entries. Who’s the winner?? Tracie Carlson from Minnesota! Pack the cowboy boots and enjoy your 4th of July in Western North Dakota!
NEWSOntario, Canada - They have landed themselves with a new Guinness World Record. A hiker found a 58-foot poison ivy plant (Toxicodendron). The leaves of the huge vine didn’t start to produce any leaves until 10 feet off the ground, making the plant identification a bit tricky. 
Guinness World Record Beef Wellington - Famous chef Gordon Ramsay has set a new Guinness World Record for the largest Beef Wellington! He along with several chefs spent hours preparing the monstrous 56 lb Beef Wellington.
That is one dish that we have yet to have attempted to make. SOO If you have a solid, bulletproof recipe to share; please do. We would love to give it a whirl, make your Beef Wellington recipe and share our results on The Bend Show. Email BendRadioShow@gmail.com with your recipe!
Oklahoma - We never know what we may come across in the outdoors, being land or water. A man scuba diving recently in a Love County, Oklahoma lake had quite the surprise when he discovered a GAS GRENADE. The diver immediately surfaced and called the police. Deputies quickly arrived and it was determined to be a LIVE GRENADE. A bomb squad was brought out to collect and then detonate the grenade. Talk about a close call, and in a mid-america lake to boot! We know metal fishing has become extremely popular for inland lakes and rivers, best be careful it may not always be treasure that is found!
Inflation news from the United States Postal Service (USPS) that we hate sharing, but alas as we all love sending letters and postcards from our travels to our loved ones. If you are one of those, or a planner already thinking of holidays this upcoming year. Going into effect July 9th, 2023, these are the new prices. For the most part, letters that qualify for Forever Stamps and including domestic postcards, will all rise 3 cents per stamp. For example: the Forever Stamps wil go from 63 cents to 66 cents. International Postcards & Letters will raise by 5 cents, so an international postcard will go from $1.45 to $1.50. All these prices go into effect on July 9th, 2023.Can You Live In An RV Full Time?Traveling about the other day, call it out for a Sunday drive in search of untroubled waters… Meaning no white caps so that we could safely launch our kayaks for a little fly fishing… While we were enjoying the backroads, going from one small lake to another; We came across an RV boondocking that had suitcase solar panels set up!
BEC & Tigger have done a lot of reading and research on these solar panels but have not had a chance to actually visit with anyone using said solar panels out in the field or while boondocking. So what did we do? Pulled the truck over, hopped out, and simply asked the man lounging in his lawn chair enjoying a peaceful lake view! We learn that suitcase solar panels work great, as long as paired with the right or correct matching rechargeable batteries.What we didn’t expect after learning about camping solar panel tips...Was this man is a Full Time RVer. Meaning someone who lives out of a motorhome, camper or recreational vehicle. Hear is a snippet of our visit with Mr. Kurt Wise, originally from California who after retiring from a 45 Plus year career, moved to Nevada and decided he was going to give RV Life a try Full-time. He has done so successfully and has no regrets. We learn how his family reacted when told that the 1600 sqft house was being sold and Kurt Wise would now reside full-time on the road in his recreational vehicle. To make it even more of a challenge, Kurt Wise, decided to boondock as much as possible. Boondocking is camping somewhere without electricity, water or any amenities one is accustomed to. We learn that owning a motorhome or camper has many pros but some cons too. The cons being able to understand that there will be maintenance such as oil changes, generator issues and learning to do as much work yourself will save time and money.FIELD REPORTBend Field Staffer, Heather Krohe, owner of Little Rack Taxidermy, shares a Field Update. A kayaker had a close call recently when on the ocean felt his kayak bumped. Bumped hard. The kayaker was wearing a Go-Pro that happened to be turned "ON" and caught video of a tiger shark swimming alongside his vessel. 
Follow Little Rack Taxidermy on Facebook, Heather Krohe is always sharing some terrific wildlife works of art. BEC's BARREL OF THE GOOD STUFFHave a funny for ya’ll this week. An Ohio couple recently was getting a little “Frisky” not too far off the trail. The couple forgot to remove their phone from a pocket… AND yes, you guessed it “Butt Dialed 911”. Officers were able to ping their phone location and followed them up the hill trail only to find the naked couple under a tree. Let’s put it this way, the couple scurried to get dressed… and they were cited for “public indecency”.. LOL… Now the Outdoors can be extremely romantic… just maybe turn that phone “off” for a moment!ENTERTAINMENTLuke Combs - This man has been cranking out hits over recent years, from singing to songwriting, Luke Combs has landed himself as a mainstay on the country music charts. But Luke Combs wants all to know that he is a family man too. In a recent interview, he shared that he wants his son and future children to have as normal of a life as possible. That he does not want them to be on jets all the going around the world. Combs wants to be going on vacations as a family, and to have those memorable things he did not have. He wants them to ride bikes, have privacy and go fishing.
Jay Leno - Recently in an interview Jay Leno was asked when he’ll ever retire from Stand Up Comedian work, his response was, “A Stroke. Then you slow down. That’s when you retire When you have your stroke.’ Well put Jay Leno... keep trekking, doing what you enjoy and as BEC says, "It’s never too late to take a new path or try something new!"FOURTH OF JULY FOOD TRENDSMarshmallows. With the 4th of July right around THE BEND here is a favorite that has gotten a new look and taste!
PUFFS brand marshmallows have come out with new flavors. Have you or your kids tried these? There are Classic Milk Chocolate Marshmallows, Cookies’n Creme Marshmallows, and Filled Marshmallows with Salted Caramel!! AND That’s not all…

NEWS
Columbia - This was the biggest story last weekend, one that touched all heartstrings. Four children were found last weekend alive in a jungle in Columbia. The siblings had been missing for 40 days following a plane crash that took the life of their mother and pilots. The children were ages 13, 9, 4, and 11 months. They were able to stay alive thanks to the 13-year-olds knowledge of survivor skills. 
Small footprints were discovered at the crash site leading search teams to believe the children were still alive in the rainforest, which is home to jaguars, snakes, and other predators. The knowledge of fruits and jungle survival skills kept the siblings alive.
Florida - Officials are warning people not to walk dogs near bodies of water, especially as it is alligator mating season. Recently a Florida man saved his dog from an alligator attack. The man was walking the dog along a river bank when an alligator came out of the water and snatched it. The man jumped on top of the alligator and freed his dog. This event spurred the Florida Wildlife Officials again to remind all walking near bodies of water to be on alert and definitely avoid if with pets.
Illinois - a 9-year-old Wyoming, Illinois girl has gone viral for catching a Largemouth Bass with a McDonald’s Chicken McNugget. The bass weighed 5 lbs. The girl stuck her McNugget on her hook before tossing her lure into a body of water. She reeled the bass in by herself… And this isn’t the first time she’s been adventurous with her choices of bait. She’s had success too with crackers & gummy worms…. LOL… BEC says, HEY - WHATEVER WORKS, and WHATEVER gets kids outside!!
FBI WARNING - These things noone is a fan of reporting on however, it is vital that we are all aware and up to date on the latest technology, especially when it could be a potential threat. The FBI is warning people to be careful when posting selfies online. Scammers and hackers are stealing the photos and then using artificial intelligence (AI) and deepfake technology to extort people. This is BAD stuff. The scam artists are placing people’s faces on other people’s naked bodies in which they then threaten to send pictures or videos to the victim’s friends, family, and co-workers. 
The FBI says the scammers ask for money to not send the fake, X-rated material. THIS is a topic to discuss with your family too as our youth are becoming younger and younger having full access to various social media as well as with the elderly. 
One tip that BEC can offer is that before sharing photos on social media, like Facebook or Instagram, Snapchat, BeReal, etc... Take the time now to check your privacy settings, so that you are ONLY sharing information with people you want to be and to keep a close eye on your social media Friends Lists, that there have not been “Ghost accounts” created mirroring someone else which was added to your crew when they should not have been

COOKING TREND & EASY RECIPE
 
Got a new trend, this one BEC says she is TOTALLY going to try. BEC is a huge pickle fan, and where she is from - You love Ranch Dressing and DILL PICKLES of all varieties!
The newest Pickle trend is the answer to your need for an easy recipe or easy appetizer. Dip mini or petite dill pickles into warm, melted chocolate and then set on wax paper to harden. If using Kosher pickles, dip them into the warmed chocolate and then roll the pickles in sea salt and let harden. As mentioned, if you know BEC she will be surprising all of her family and friends this summer with this easy Fourth of July appetizer recipe! If you have a fondue pot, consider this as a fun activity too for the kids. So many possibilities with these Pickle Recipes.
 
Drinking Alcohol and Mosquitos. Another trend across social media has been debunked, drinking Gin & Tonic - we are sorry to report will not WARD OFF mosquitos! BEC & Tigger have heard of many reasons to have a cocktail or two, but not this one until I was approached and then had to investigate. It turns out that drinking alcohol actually makes you slightly more attractive to those biting skeeters, mosquitos. It is advised the best thing one can do is buy a true repellent. Personally, after trying many things; Tigger & BEC have weighed the pros and cons of tick-related diseases such as Lyme disease, one that is often overlooked by the medical world, and now stockpile their household with insect repellents that contain DEET. We know that some of you listening will not agree, and that is OKAY it has just been our family’s decision to go after a Deep Woods product that contains preferably 40% Deet.
Regardless, this year be sure to NOT be drinking that Gin & Tonic in hopes of warding off the mosquitos, and do plan ahead with some sort of bug repellent!

EPISODE DETAILSTightlines is what Tigger is bragging about to kick off The Bend Show. Recently BEC and Tigger loaded the kayaks and headed north to a local small fishing lake for a spur-of-the-moment, evening of fishing. As usual with these two, it immediately became competitive. Tigger with his fly rod and BEC using her trusty spinning reel paddled away and started tossing lines. The good news, neither were skunked. Tigger reeled in 33 fish to BEC's small catch of only six. A blast of fun was had landing sunfish, crappie and largemouth bass. The Bend Show kicks off!SPOTLIGHT
Air Travel. Could these be trends we see elsewhere in the near future? Recently an Australian teen was charged $65 dollars for wearing an extra 13lbs of clothing to avoid the overweight luggage charges. Well this tried and true travel hack, that almost all of us have done so when flying, FAILED. The Australian airline still charged the teen for now wearing the extra 13 lbs of clothing the overweight luggage charge of $65. So we're telling you this as just in the last few weeks it’s been announced that Air New Zealand is now weighing passengers before flights!
The airline has stated that they have added scales to their boarding areas because the data collected helps them improve their load control and are wanting customers to be reassured that there is no visible display anywhere.
We know that there’s been a lot of airline issues over the last year; be sure to be keeping a close eye on your flights and small print as we head in various directions in the months to come, and know we will be keeping a close eye ourselves on the Flight Travel News.NEWSCotton Candy-Flavored OREO Cookies Hitting the store shelves this week! Hurry though, as the Cotton Candy Flavored OREO cookies are for only a limited time. Perfect timing if you ask us as county fair season begins to really kick off for many! Cotton Candy-Flavored OREO cookies were last available a decade ago... Back in 2013.
Calgary Stampede Rodeo In CanadaThe historic Calgary Stampede Rodeo runs this year from July 7th thru the 16th. The Calgary Stampede menu to grace the midway has been released and they want you to remember, in reference to the menu, “It’s not something you eat every day. It’s something you come to once a year.”
New amongst other items throughout is this Hot Dog that is getting all the buzz.
The big-ticket item will be the Jalapeno Cheddar Gut Buster which will set you back $100! The huge 12-inch smoked jalapeno cheddar dog is comprised of elk meat and aged wagyu beef marinated in an aged red wine for five days, sitting on a bed of Bundenerfleisch (which I’ve never had) on baked red pepper and sun-dried tomato ciabatta bun and topped with cheese, imported german sauerkraut, onions, and bell peppers. Now we know that a few of you that specialize in everything sausage to being grilling masters are thinking… hmm "I need to make my OWN TWIST on this $100 idea" for a hot dog. If you take in the Calgary Stampede, be sure to tag us in your pictures! Tag @thebendshow
World’s Fastest Trash Can? Never knew there were fast Trash Cans until today! Michael Wallhead, a British Engineer, recently claimed the new world record when his motorized trash can topped out at 55mph beating the old record by 10 mph. The trash can was purchased on Facebook Marketplace for 25 bucks, then $900 was spent souping it up with a Suzuki engine, wheels, axle, gearbox, chassis, and steering column.
TAXIDERMY, A FORM OF WILDLIFE ARTMeet Jake Faehnrich, owner of JB's Wildlife Designs in Mandan, North Dakota. Tigger sits down with this artist to learn what attracted Faehnrich to the art of Taxidermy. We learn of other forms of preserving our trophy animals, fish, and birds. This up-and-coming taxidermist is showing skills that take your breath away. JB's Wildlife Designs has experience in everything from mounts to rugs to painting on the skulls of our harvested trophies. They strive to exceed the expectation of every customer, preserving those moments and memories for a lifetime.
Featuring: Jake Faehnrich; Taxidermist & Owner of JB's Wildlife DesignFacebook: @jbswildlifedesignBEC's BARREL OF THE GOOD STUFFWINE LOVERS - 
BEC found this recent "Personality Study" by Barefoot Wines interesting. So let’s see how true this is for you. Does your Wine preference match your personality??
Red Wine drinkers - Introverted… but Like The Outdoors, are Early Birds & love dogs.Sparkling Wine drinkers - Outgoing & as you guessed Extroverts.
White Wine drinkers - They like being the “Life of the Party”, take more selfies, like it “indoors”, tend to be night owls, and LOVE cats
Rose’ drinkers - little panache there - You tend to be the “Party Planners” of the group, night owls that love dogs... AND are most likely to get a tattoo.
ENTERTAINMENT NEWSCONCERT ALERT There’s one concert this summer that might be quite “The Event”...It’s been announced that Guns N Roses at their upcoming August 26th concert in Nashville, TN; Guns N Roses will be joined by Carrie Underwood!! Heck Yay! Come on, you know the lyrics, “Welcome Come To The Jungle…”  We believe this will be an epic concert!
CODY JOHNSON The country superstar out of Texas is a former rodeo bull rider, and Cody Johnson also used to work as a prison guard in the Texas State Penitentiary system before deciding to focus on music full-time.At a recent concert, some fans almost got on the bad side of Cody when they started fighting in the pit right in front of the stage – and this cowboy had to lay down the law.
A viral video posted from his show in Virginia, shows Cody Johnson addressing the rowdy fans, “If you start a fight in this pit I will stop this show and have your a** thrown out."And this cowboy followed up that warning with, "If you wanna fight, take it somewhere else because y’all bump into one of these kids you’ll have me jumping off the stage at your a**.”KENNY CHESNEYAs many fans may or may not know, Kenny Chesney is a huge football fan however recently he revealed that he is torn about performing at halftime of the Super Bowl. Kenny Chesney explained that if he were asked to do the Super Bowl, he would probably say "Yes." HOWEVER If he was given the choice between all that stress leading up to it, or to sit in a fancy stadium suite with his dad while having a beer . . . He’s probably going to do just that.Priorities. Make those memories with our loved ones while we can, in our opinion, Chesney's figured a lot out about what matters in life.
COOKING TRENDHave you tried this, it’s all over social media. Bacon-wrapped Oreos! Oreos are being wrapped in bacon and then coated with different types of salts before placed into a smoker for an hour. Supposedly the cookies come out nice and warm, while the bacon is crisp.

ATTENTION Foodies out there. Bartolini’s Italian Restaurant in Midlothian, Illinois is going viral for their… hope you’re hungry… going viral for the “Bartolini’s 10-Pound Meatball Sandwich Challenge”. Here’s the sandwich’s description: 5lbs (that’s 40) World Famous Bartolini Meatballs, on a 3 foot (1 pound) Turano French Bread with 1.5 lbs of Red Gravy.

Plan Now To Fish In June, Here Is Why

EPISODE DETAILS
Fisherman or not, this time of year in June there really isn’t a bad spot to toss a line. Pro Angler Johnnie Candle joins our crew. This is Rebecca Wanner aka BEC and Jeff 'Tigger' Erhardt with the outdoors radio show The Bend. We have Outdoors news, spotlight grizzly sightings in Yellowstone, tell about a Ghost Town, plus have your Travel and entertainment headlines. Be sure to tune into The Bend Show!
 
SPOTLIGHT
 
In case you needed some extra good news today, The Queen of the Tetons is still with us.
The famous grizzly named 399 emerged from hibernation.  She’s the oldest known bear in the Yellowstone ecosystem, spanning 7 decades of records, to give birth at the age of 27. Queen of the Tetons, Grizzly 339 was photographed last month with a new cub at her side.
AND This leads to a great reminder! MANY animals are now with or about to be with, their babies. From cubs to calves to fawns; never be “That Guy” approaching to try photographing wildlife. There’s always a joke or meme at this time of year, “Don’t Pet The Fluffy Cow” aka Buffalo or Bison. That holds true on anything from Moose, they are mean, to of course mountain lions to bears. Enjoy the view, Be in the Moment. Do not approach wild animals especially while with their young.
 
 
NEWS
 
Poor Driving Hereditary - NOW if you’ve got a family gathering in your near future? This may just be the topic that could “Stir the Pot” if you’re looking to get the goat of some people, or just have fun with a little debate. A study from Scrap Car Comparison has revealed that bad driving might be hereditary. 1,000 drivers were surveyed and was discovered that 66% of these drivers who had tickets also had parents with poor driving records. 50% of the drivers with poor driving parents have received at least one ticket in the past 10 years. 55% of people say that they LEARNED speeding from their parents and 49% of drivers say they learned Road-Raging from their parents….
BEC dares you to bring up THIS TOPIC at your next family bbq! LOL
Looking to relocate? How about buy your own town?
A Texas ghost town is up for sale for $100,000. The town of Lobo, Texas is located 20 miles from the Mexico border and has been abandoned since 1991. If interested, we wish you the best - the town contains a gas station, a motel, a grocery store and several empty homes. To the north of Lobo is Guatelupe National Park; to the south is Big Bend National Park.
North Carolina - is where one man calls home, and this man has not used Toilet paper in ten years. Robin Greenfield of Asheville, NC claims he has not used TP since 2013 and instead uses Blue Spur Flower leaves because they are eco-friendly and the same size as a square of toilet paper. Mr. Greenfield went on to explain that the average American spends over $11,000 on tp over the course of their life. The Blue Spur Flower leaves he claims have a natural, minty scent, and are easy to grow. I’m just going to believe him on that one… and still expect Tigger to pack the biodegradable toilet paper.

Appreciate God's Country.
United together, this duo offers a glimpse into and speaks about what life truly is like at the end of dirt roads.
Tigger & BEC look forward to hearing from you, answering your questions and sharing in the journey of making your life a success story.

It’s Branding Season!

It is branding season. Make those memories and of course enjoy the great food. It's still beef month so we have those recipes you have to try. This is Rebecca Wanner aka BEC and Jeff ‘Tigger’ Erhardt with the outdoors radio show The Bend. We have a fun easy summer meal idea and your Travel headlines too. Be sure to tune into The Bend Show!
BEEF MONTH
May is BEEF Month, BBQ Month and all is fitting as Memorial Day Weekend is the kick-off to camping season. We share beef tips and tricks that will have you making easy meals all summer long.
 
RANCH LIFE
The month of May is busy on a ranch as that is when the calving season in many states comes to an end. This also means that ranch work changes gears. Fences are to be mended. Bulls have been bought. Now cows with newborn calves must go through being “worked” to be ready for summer. This is all done during a “Branding”.
BRANDING
What some look forward to the most in the spring, or the whole year are brandings. (For BEC this is her highlight, Christmas!) Ranches chose their day, many neighboring ranches having held certain dates for years, or even generations. Your ranch’s branding is a special occasion. Yes, it is hard work. Yes, everyone will be dirty. Yes, you will feel full-filled from a hard hard day's work usually filled with antics and the socializing you have missed all these cold winter months. 
Cows with their newborn calves are gathered or a “round-up” is held. Sometimes a ranch or farm can gather with just a few people. Bigger outfits will have help coming with horses. Cows sorted from the calves. The cows are run through the chute, given proper inoculations, and poured for flies so that they are ready for breeding. Calves are then worked as well. Some ranches will use a calf table that flips the animal on its side while it is “worked”. Cattle Ranches like where BEC & Tigger were raised are still “Cowboy”. Cowboys and Cowgirls will arrive with ranch horses ready for a full day. The calves are still roped with two wrestlers holding the calf once caught.
CAMARADERIE & FELLOWSHIP
Once the hard day is over, there is a sense of freedom. The sense of pride in seeing a job well done with friends. At the conclusion of branding, that ranch or farm will host a dinner or supper. This is an opportunity to share over a home-cooked meal. It is also a time to relax and enjoy one another’s company. A time to reunite the neighborhood. 
BEC was raised on a large cattle ranch. She learned to “Cowboy”. The lessons learned were priceless.
Western Lifestyle & The Outdoors
Tigger & BEC represent the Working Ranch world, Rodeo and the Western Way of Life as well as advocate for the Outdoors and Wildlife Conservation.
In turn, this duo strives to provide the hunter, adventurer,  cowboy, cowgirl, rancher & successful farmer with the knowledge, education, and tools needed to bring high-quality beef to your table for dinner. The understanding of the importance of sharing meals with family, cooking harvested wild game and fish from your adventures, and learning to understand the importance of making memories in the outdoors.
United together, this duo offers a glimpse & speaks about the insight of what life truly is like at the end of dirt roads.
Tigger & BEC look forward to hearing from you, answering your questions and sharing in the journey of making your journey in life a success story.
