Stop the risky TikTok and YouTube trends on your farm, ranch or cabin. Prioritize safety and ditch these harmful social media challenges. And we’ve got easy St. Patrick’s activities for all ages, even a simple Irish recipe too. This is Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger’ Erhardt with The Bend Radio Show & Podcast, your news outlet for the latest in the Outdoors & Western Lifestyle!
Episode 175 Details
TikTok & YouTube TRENDS TO STOP NOW
Safety does not sound fun, but safety is a necessity around the Farm, Ranch and Cabin!
No one truly wants to see anyone physically hurt, injured for life or have death be the result of unnecessary actions that could have been prevented. Often if one is to scroll through social media, it almost feels as though "Common Sense" has gone out the window! Trends on TikTok or YouTube, for example, of jumping out of moving tractors while filming oneself doing so to jumping off of UTVs at the cabin, might get a few likes or be the latest #challenge - Just STOP. Please STOP.
The actor/actress doing the activities - We get it! You are wanting the attention, be thought of as crazy or pushing limits; hate to break it to you - You are not achieving it. Instead you are risking your own life to become an instant sensation that will only be forgotten as soon as the daring act you took was overlooked. Ouch! We know - Truth Hurts.
The property owner of the machinery, UTV, or the land in which these acts are taking place - STOP THEM. Why? Because you are exposing yourself not just to the high risks of losing a loved one, if that's not scary enough in itself, but also opening yourself up to liability lawsuits as the actions did take place on your property, using your property, etc.
Now that we have your attention, make a change this year and STOP feeding into the social media challenges and trends that really are only making someone else money at your expense.

EASY IRISH SODA BREAD
Discovered for you, the perfect recipe for homemade Irish Soda Bread! Embrace the rich flavors of Irish tradition with just a few simple steps.
To start, gather 4 cups of flour, 4 tablespoons of white sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ½ cup of softened margarine or butter. Combine these ingredients in a mixing bowl, creating the foundation of your bread.
Next, enrich the mixture with 1 cup of buttermilk, 1 egg, and if desired, 1 cup of raisins for a delightful twist. Blend all ingredients thoroughly until a dough forms.
Once mixed, gently knead the dough and shape it into a round loaf. Place it onto a baking sheet, ready to be transformed into a golden delight.
Before baking, don't forget the signature mark of Irish Soda Bread - carefully cut an "X" across the top of the loaf. Then, brush it with 1 beaten egg white to achieve that perfect finish.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius), and let the magic unfold as you bake your creation for 45 to 50 minutes.
Indulge in the aroma of freshly baked bread, and savor every bite of your homemade Irish Soda Bread. Remember us here at The Bend Show for more mouthwatering recipes and for your next culinary adventure!

Embark on an epic adventure to witness the Total Solar Eclipse! Plus learn of other captivating cosmic sights including a rare "Super Harvest Moon Eclipse” to plan your travels around. Plus we’ve got the news! This is Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger’ Erhardt with The Bend Radio Show & Podcast, your news outlet for the latest in the Outdoors & Western Lifestyle!
Episode 174 Details
PLAN NOW TO SEE THE TOTAL ECLIPSE & OTHER COSMIC WONDERS
Experience the Total Eclipse and other Epic Astronomy Views in 2024!
Get ready for an extraordinary celestial event coming your way! On Monday, April 8, 2024, North America will be graced with a total solar eclipse, turning day into night across a wide swath of the United States. AND what makes this Total Eclipse so incredibly noteworthy, because the next isn’t slated to happen for another 2 decades, 20 years. Whether you're in Southern California, Washington State, or the mountains of North Carolina, get set for a partial eclipse at the very least.
For the ultimate experience, position yourself beneath the path of totality, stretching from Northern Mexico through Texas, up to Maine, and beyond into Canada. According to astronomer Tyler Nordgren, a total eclipse is nothing short of otherworldly. As the moon completely obscures the sun, expect the sky to darken, colors to shift, and the brightest stars to emerge.
Nordgren recommends choosing a location you genuinely want to explore. Whether you're clouded out or not, being in a captivating setting enhances the experience. Just remember to pack your protective eyewear to safeguard your eyes during this awe-inspiring event.
As April 8 approaches, consider your ideal spot to witness nature's breathtaking display. Whether you're drawn to the rugged landscapes of Texas, the serene beauty of Maine, or the majestic badlands of North Dakota, the path of totality offers an array of captivating destinations.
Prepare for a day like no other—a day when the heavens align, and the universe unfolds its mysteries before your eyes. Mark your calendars, secure your viewing spot, and get ready to witness the total eclipse of 2024 in all its celestial glory.
Don't miss out on this extraordinary event. Plan your eclipse adventure today and prepare to be spellbound by the wonders of the universe. Just don’t forget your protective eyewear.
Be prepared as the Total Solar Eclipse, meaning complete darkness, is speculated to only last 3:30 minutes.
TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE VIEWING TIME
Texas - Partial Eclipse begins at 12:23 pm CDT. The Total Solar Eclipse begins at 1:40 pm CDT and ends at 1:44 pm CDT. Partial Eclipse ending by 3:02 pm CDT.
New York - Partial Eclipse begins at 02:04pm EDT. The Total Solar Eclipse begins at 03:18pm DDT and ends at 03:22pm EDT. Partial Eclipse ending by 04:32pm EDT.

California - Partial Eclipse begins at 10:06 am PST. The Total Solar Eclipse maximum at 11:12am PST. Partial Eclipse ending by 12:22pm PST.
SCENIC SPOTS TO WATCH TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE
Niagara Falls

Super Harvest Moon Eclipse: September 17-18
A super moon occurs when the moon is the closest to the earth, and appears bigger and brighter than usual. In September, the super moon will be accompanied by a partial eclipse. While a supermoon is easy to spot from wherever you are, the eclipse will be visible from much of the Americas, Europe, and Africa.
A confluence of three popular lunar events will make for an exciting night of stargazing on the night of Tuesday, Sept. 17, into the early hours of Wednesday, Sept. 18. A partial lunar eclipse will coincide with the first super moon of the year, causing part of the moon to temporarily go dark as it passes through Earth's shadow.
Super Moon — October 17
The second and closest supermoon of 2024 will occur in October. During a supermoon, the moon can appear up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than when it is the farthest. There's no need for specialized equipment to view the moon, but a clear night sky and an unobstructed view will help.

ILLEGAL EAGLE FEATHER TRAFFICKING UNVEILED
FLATHEAD INDIAN RESERVATION, Mont. (KFYR) - Prosecutors say a Washington state man intends to plead guilty to helping kill some 3,600 birds, including eagles, and illegally selling their feathers. A judge issued an arrest warrant for a second suspect who failed to appear in court last month.
Such feathers are highly prized among many Native American tribes for use in sacred ceremonies and during pow-wows. The defendants are accused of selling eagle parts on a black market that has been a long-running problem for U.S. wildlife officials. Illegal shootings are a leading cause of golden eagle deaths, according to a recent government study. Immature golden eagle feathers are especially valued among tribes, and a tail set from one of the birds can sell for several hundred dollars, according to details disclosed during a separate trafficking case in South Dakota last year in which a Montana man was sentenced to three years in prison.
Prosecutors say Travis Branson and others killed the birds during a years-long “killing spree” on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana and elsewhere.
SPY CAMS IN VACATION RENTALS
According to the Daily Mail, 10% of vacation rentals come equipped with concealed surveillance cameras. These cameras are frequently camouflaged as ordinary items like chargers, smoke alarms, and TV soundbars. Travel experts recommend inspecting for absent screws, additional openings, and reflections that may indicate camera lenses. Rental platforms such as Airbnb enforce stringent regulations prohibiting hidden camera use.
BOMB WASHES UP ON BEACH
According to NBC, an old military bomb was recently found washed up on shore in California. A bomb squad was called in, confirming the explosive was inactive and then safely removed it from the beach.
MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE: SOUTH CAROLINA TO FRANCE
Who has thrown a message in a bottle, tossed it to the sea or ocean wondering if it’ll ever be found? A South Carolina fisherman dropped a bottle in the ocean three years ago. The bottle contained a letter and ribbons. The fisherman was shocked that it made its way to France.
Have you ever found a message in a bottle? Host Rebecca Wanner aka BEC once did while fishing along the Knife River in North Dakota. The bottle was an old glass pop bottle, and the message was a typewriter typed letter and dated 20 years old.
CORNHOLE PLAYERS EARN COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS
According to Deadspin, High schoolers are securing scholarships to play cornhole at the college level. Recently, two high school seniors signed letters of intent to join Winthrop University in North Carolina as cornhole players. These scholarships will cover half of their tuition costs. Both athletes are highly regarded, earning five-star ratings, and they represent the first students to commit to a college for cornhole.
As always here at The Bend Show, we encourage all ages to take up lifelong sports and activities. Cornhole is another great example, just as fishing, clay target shooting and archery, of an activity we can do all our lives and encourages us to do so while socializing with other people. Put down the phone and take up an activity this year!

MCDONALD's UNVEILS ROBOT-RUN RESTAURANT
McDonald’s recently unveiled a robot-run restaurant with no human staff. The futuristic location is in Australia, according to News.com, and has self-service kiosks, digital menu boards and food delivered by robots. McDonald’s hopes that this new concept will streamline their operations and provide more efficient dining experiences.
We hear often about worker shortages and more use of AI as well as seeing McDonald's locations are already using kiosks in the United States, now the question is when will this become the new “norm” in the USA? Stay prepared before going with a large group and learn the new technology out now at not just McDonalds but many other restaurants too. More and more restaurants are no longer offering printed menus, and are instead moving towards a “Scan QR Code” that then directs you to a menu on the phone. Don’t be caught off guard, stay in the know!

Hear how taking the time to stop "Smell the Roses" as the often said, has more relevance especially as a journey through life. If planning a long awaited vacation, have an idea of the sites to see but make sure to reserve time for impromptu stops along the adventure. See that roadside stand selling coconuts, PULL OVER and TRY! That is also part of the great memory making for you and your companions! Often it's the "little things", the moments that didn't go perfect on that long awaited trip that become the most reflected, laughed and cherished. Plus toss the fishing pole along too or if in a new area, reach out and spend the money to try "new waters" to you.
Too often it happens that the road you're traveling may very well be the ONLY time you travel it. So best to take it all in and then fondly remember those cherished memories!

PLANNING TIPS TO WALT DISNEY WORLD THEME PARKS
Prepare for the adventure of a lifetime at Disney World with these essential tips for success!
Who would have thought in this day or age, that expensive family destinations like Walt Disney World or Walt Disney Land, Universal Studios too could quickly undo any joy there was to be had by not planning for the destinations as well. We’re not talking about the stress of gathering the family, or the high prices that come with visiting these theme parks. We are talking about the overwhelming feeling of once arriving on property to only then learn, for example Disney has its own nomenclature, its own language.
So much is the overwhelming factor over taking guests to these theme parks, visitors are taking classes on “Walt Disney World” prior to boarding a plane. The complicated system that Disney World functions upon has left many unprepared travelers with the let down feeling and regretting having done the trip, as learning the Disney lingo and landscape can almost feel monumental instead of “Magical”. Today we are tackling tips to survive Disney World located in Orlando, Florida.
WHAT CONSISTS OF WALT DISNEY WORLD
First thing to know about Walt Disney World is it is made up of four main parks, but then there are also the Disney Water Parks too. The four Walt Disney World Parks are Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom and Epcot. Disney World is not meant to be seen in ONE day. Instead, it is highly recommended to enjoy it over several days if time and money allows. This means visiting one Disney Park per day and even reserving a day in between for rest around the pool or some down time.
If you have never traveled to Disney World and are going with a group that includes children, we suggest booking through a trusted travel agent and one that offers travel insurance or through Disney’s booking agents and inquiring about their travel insurance. Reason being is that depending on your party size, age and the cost; peace of mind knowing that at the last minute your trip might be canceled or cut short, all the money is not lost. If booking thru Disney World or a travel agent, be sure to ask if there are any special offers, for example there are discounts for US military, and often the longer you stay the cheaper the daily passes and/or hotels may become.
HOW TO EFFECTIVELY PLAN FOR DISNEY WORLD
How to navigate Walt Disney World, the Magic Kingdom, effectively before your vacation can greatly enhance your experience? Here's how:
Research Parks and Attractions: Get acquainted with the layout of Disney's parks and explore the array of attractions they offer. Explore the different themes and pinpoint the ones that capture your interest the most.
Craft a Detailed Schedule: Strategize your itinerary by planning which parks you want to visit each day of your vacation. Consider factors such as park hours, crowd levels, and special events to optimize your time.
Secure Advanced Reservations: Don't miss out on popular dining experiences or character meet-and-greets—reserve them well in advance. This ensures you lock in coveted options and avoid disappointment. Take time to understand Disney Genie+ as it is an essential tool. Walt Disney World now operates off the My Disney Experience App.

SNOW ICE CREAM
Americans used the polar vortex to make snow ice cream. The trend started on Tik Tok and such stars as Reese Witherspoon have all joined in the fun. The ice cream is made with snow, milk, sugar, and vanilla. People then have been topping their ice cream with nuts, cherries and chocolate syrup making Snow Sundaes.
PICKLE JUICE TO FIGHT COLD & FLU
What remedies work for cold and flu? Cleveland Clinic suggests that people battling cold and flu season drink pickle juice to feel better. The pickle juice is good for soothing sore throats, fights infections, balancing gut bacteria and prevents blood sugar spikes. The salt and vinegar in pickle juice calms inflammation and targets bacteria.
PICKLE JUICE TO FIGHT COLD & FLU
A letter mailed in 1943 to DeKalb, Illinois residents Louis and Lavena George was recently delivered to a family member after resurfacing at the local Illinois Post Office. The letter expressed condolences to the recipients on the loss of their daughter. A post office worker tracked down a relative who was then able to share the letter with the daughter of original addressees: Louis and Lavena, George.

STATE HUNTING REGULATIONS
If you are planning to hunt big game this year, you best hurry to start the planning. Every state has its own regulations on hunting big game which includes elk, moose, bighorn sheep, mule deer, bear, mountain lions, etc. These regulations may change from year to year including what is involved for Non-Resident applications. Learn the rules of the states where your focus is on, then plan accordingly to be sure to meet the time constraints for applying, can save for the cost of the tags and begin planning on if this is a guided or self guided adventure.
FUNDAMENTALS FOR THE OUTDOORS, SPORTS & HOBBIES
Often those of us that are skilled in hunting, skiing or many other hobbies become overzealous in wanting to share our knowledge with hopeful new individuals to the activities. This especially holds true if for example you are a father wanting to show your son for the first time how to use a bow. Another great example, assisting in teaching a spouse. Frustrations can come quickly as often expectations are that another will learn quickly your often decades learned skill in the sport. What also comes into play is the accidental missing of not teaching the safety of each skill or activity too. It is highly recommended that for the very first lesson, consider hiring an outside professional or other known individual to walk through the basic fundamentals.
Let that individual be set up for success where they can feel free to ask questions as basic as they might be and the intimidation will quickly ease. It’s important to remember, your knowledge, though vast and experienced, did not happen overnight. It was acquired through years of practice, failure and learning what works for you… Which may not be what works for another.
Fundamentals Are Key
Strong Foundation Is A Must
Safety First
Make a GREAT first experience to guarantee a lifetime of enjoyment!

This episode we tackle Super Bowl trending food and what to cook for the Super Bowl. Easy recipes to serve at a gathering. Valentines Day - what to buy Him, What to Buy Her, or maybe What to Do for Valentines is the better question We have answers. We are here to help ditch the stress and win the lover's day battle. This is Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger’ Erhardt with the radio show The Bend Radio Show & Podcast, your news outlet for the latest in the Outdoors & Western Lifestyle!
Episode 169 DetailsNEWSSUPER BOWL PIZZA TOPPING IDEASThe Trend now in the world of Pizza Topping is adding Kiwi to your pizza pie! Many are familiar with Pineapple Pizza, otherwise known as Hawaiian Style Pizza and the ingredients are Canadian Bacon or Ham plus cheese with a red tomato base sauce.
Chefs are whipping up Kiwi Pizza and saying, HOLD OFF ON THE PINEAPPLE and ADD the KIWI! Pizzerias are saying that Kiwi pairs well with Ham, or Canadian Bacon, and cheese. Also, during the winter months now, as when the Super Bowl or Valentine's falls, Kiwi are in season and less expensive than Pineapple. Give it a try, and Let us know what you think!
SUPER FOOD: ALGAE (SPIRULINA)Often foods high in antioxidants and protein, are considered Superfoods. There is a new one to be added to the list, Algae is now a Super Food. Now we are unsure how good it tastes, or how quick the concept of algae over spinach or blueberries will take off, but they are speculating it to be a Hot Super Food in the years to come as Spirulina easily grows in both fresh and saltwater.
FEATUREVALENTINES - WHAT TO BUY HIM OR HERWhat to do for the Valentine Holiday, or what to BUY for Valentines? The big questions pondered every year when this almost seems like a "Hallmark Card" made up holiday after just barely recovering from the Festive Christmas Holidays. Feeling burned out still? Not sure what to do? OR do you just look the other way and hope it goes unnoticed that you want to forget Valentines? SMILE all the reasons are okay, and understood. BUT we are here to help!
WHAT TO BUY HIM FOR VALENTINES?It is not so much what to buy, but instead think of What To Do. Guys, Husbands, Men they enjoy activities. So instead of breaking the bank on a gift, go for the experience. Shoot for a "Guy Thing" which in Tigger's mind, he offers the following. Go out on a "Date" to a Distillery or Brewery, enjoy a flight of the joint's best drinks paired with an appetizer. Another option, try out a new activity like "Ax Throwing" or check with local Gun Ranges, they often actually have specials on "Date Night" to encourage men and women to have fun at the range together. Bring your own firearms, or often you can rent a model of something you've been considering purchasing. Regardless, get out and have fun.
WHAT TO BUY HER FOR VALENTINES?Women today are thinking not about roses, candy and jewelry for Valentines. Women want Valentine's experience! They want to be surprised, an experience they do not have to plan, arrange childcare or have responsibility. Women appreciate the anticipation of a date. For example, finding little notes or receiving text messages to "clear your evening" or "calendar" and to "wear something nice". On this one day of the year, regardless if it is a new girlfriend, wife or someone special in your life; making the effort to surprise your woman with a carefree, planned evening or day means the world. BEC suggests visiting a Winery, sharing a flight of fine wines with cheese & grapes. Antiquing or visiting quaint boutiques that one drives by all the time but never stops. Starting off the morning with a surprise stop at a new coffee shop or breakfast place.
SUPER BOWL EASY RECIPES1. CHARCUTERIE BOARD: Use your own homemade sausages and jerky along with adding in a couple favorite cheeses, grapes, nuts and then complimenting it all with Mickey's Mustard! (LOVE Mickeys Mustard - You Will Too!) And don't forget the crackers.
2. PIGS IN THE BLANKET: Using your homemade sausages or store bought. Cut sausage into single serving size. Wrap each sausage with a crescent roll dough bought from the store. Cut the pre-made dough to fit the sausage size. Bake according to the dough package.
3. 3 INGREDIENT CHILI SAUSAGES: Everyone loves little smokies! Change it up and use your own. In a crockpot mix together grape jelly and chili sauce, stir in the cut up smoked/cooked sausages and heat until hot. Ready to serve. Want spicy, add 1 tsp of finely chopped jalapeño!

We share tips on how to make easy recipes using the meats already in your freezer, foods that work with you rather than against you and a recap of top news headlines everyone should know about. This is Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger’ Erhardt with the radio show The Bend Radio Show & Podcast, your news outlet for the latest in the Outdoors & Western Lifestyle!
NEWSOPERATION VIPER: ILLEGAL SNAKE TRAFFICKING RING BUSTEDFox 35, Orlando, reported in January 2023 that Florida's Wildlife Officials had arrested eight people for illegal snake trafficking. Traffickers were bought and sold, hundreds of snakes, some venomous.
During the three-year investigation, called "Operation Viper, the Florida Fish and Wildlife commission said in a news release that nearly 200 snakes - consisting of 24 species from seven different regions of the globe - were purchased or sold by undercover FWC investigators to or from wildlife traffickers.
Wildlife trafficking ranks fourth behind drugs, weapons and humans in global activity according to the FWC. The Wildlife Conservation Society estimates illicit wildlife trafficking to be between $7.8 billion and $10 billion per year.
CANADIAN SUPER PIGS THREATEN TO INVADE US
A new wild pig problem is on the horizon officials are warning. Wild pigs are nothing new to the United States, that is a 400-plus year history of dealing with invasive wild hogs. According to the University of Saskatchewan's Canadian Wild Pig Research Project, the wild pig issue is relatively new. "We didn't have any here until the early 1980s," says Dr. Ryan Book who leads their project. "There was a big push to diversify agriculture with species like wild boars and ostriches. Wild boars were brought in from Europe to be raised on farms across Canada."
Fast Forward. These pigs were crossbred with wild boars and domesticated pigs. The hybridization resulted in bigger "super pigs" capable of surviving cold climates. The market for these new hogs dropped out in the early 2000s, thus some escaped operations while others were simply let free as there was no one to sell them to.
These pigs have an extraordinarily high reproductive rate and are predicted to now roam nearly 620,000 square miles of Canada, mostly in the Provinces of Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Alberta. The states most affected by these Canadian Super Pigs are North Dakota, Eastern Montana and Northern Minnesota.
THREAT TO WILDLIFE, LIVESTOCK & HUMANS
Wild boar, razorback, feral hog, wild pig. Those are just a few of the names for one of the most destructive, formidable invasive species in the United States. Tremendous damages from these animals currently cost the United States up to $2.5 billion annually to crops, forestry, livestock, and pastures. Feral swine present great risks to human health and safety as well as they can harbor and transmit dozens of parasites and diseases.
Landowners or hunters who encounter feral pigs in North Dakota must notify the State Board of Animal Health immediately. The shooting of feral pigs is illegal in North Dakota unless a person is protecting property or livestock.
CALL
Observe or suspect the presence of feral pigs, MAKE THE CALL.

HOW TO IMPROVE FROZEN MEATS
It becomes confusing in the store at times when you see meat nicely cut, looking fresh versus frozen. Often one assumes those may be the most nutritious or healthiest. That is not entirely true. Almost all meats are frozen at some point before put into the meat counter case, so the display is what looks nicer behind the meat counter than in the freezer aisle.
Don't be afraid to save a little money purchasing frozen meats. They too are very healthy and regardless if it meat you harvested or raised yourself, or meat purchased all can become nutritious meals for the family. The most important thing to watch for when cooking with meat that's been frozen is to watch when thawing for freezer burned areas. Those areas that have turned discolored from too long in the freezer. I won't break down how long is "too long" , that's for another day, but the first step is to dig in your freezer to pull out a package of meat and begin thawing.
Best practice for thawing is to do so in your refrigerator over a day or so, or however long it takes to become unfrozen. However we are all always in a rush so the use of a microwave or placing in a sealed plastic bag in hot water is too acceptable methods. If you fear the meat is at all a tougher cut, there are two major tricks to conquering the chewy toughness meat from beef to venison to chicken.
Once meat is not frozen, trim, place in a pan or sealed bag or container and graciously cover in a marinade. Simply purchase a pre-made marinade or google for some quick easy homemade marinades. Leave in the marinade for a minimum of an hour, but my best meats are when they can sit for 24 hours in the refrigerator.
Second tip is the actual cooking process. If you are wanting fall off the bone, consider using an instant pot for a quick turnaround time otherwise cook in your crockpot over the course of the day. If you want to fry quickly, turn your oven on at 400 degrees. Using an oven safe frying pan such as cast iron, heat the frying pan on the stove and make sure your pan is HOT. Sear all sides and then place the frying pan with meat in the oven, turning the oven down to 350. Using a meat thermometer check the meat temperature to ensure it is done to your liking.
Enjoy! Have questions on cooking or recipes for us to try, send them our way!
