A new season is kicking on our door. Are you seeing the Signs, Are you ready? Whirlwind episode covering the latest news, as well as highlighting a poaching hunting story and a kayak fishing adventure that you need to know about. Plus the Rut is On, for Buffalo. Beware. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt with The Bend Radio Show & Podcast, your news outlet for the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Episode 199 Details Epic Struggle: Kayak Angler's 11-Mile Battle and Poacher's 24-Year Hunting Ban   Latest News: Outdoors & Western Living Marlin Tows Across Ocean Kayak Angler  Listen to this story - How far would you go?? In early August, California fisherman Kei Vang embarked on a fishing trip with two friends, targeting tuna off the coast of California. They were about six miles out when Vang hooked a massive striped marlin, leading to a dramatic five-hour battle.  The marlin towed Vang's 12-foot kayak approximately 11 miles over 5 hours time across the Pacific Ocean before the striped marlin began to tire, beginning to circle underneath the kayak. It was then the angler was able to grab the leader and finally able to get a good look at the billfish which was longer than his kayak, having him believe it to be 13 feet long and estimated to weigh around 200 pounds. He then managed to cut the line and release the fish. An Epic Struggle! Vang and his friends had to use GPS units mounted on their kayaks to map the distance the striped marlin had taken them, which totaled about 20 miles from shore. They were carrying extra batteries along with VHF radios and other safety gear. As night fell, realizing it would take hours to paddle back, they called a friend with a power boat who rescued them and towed their kayaks back. Vang said every kayak angler's dream is to catch a big fish and have a photo made of it holding it up next to their kayak… That wasn't possible with his Striped Marlin, who didn't get a photo with the marlin, considered having a replica mount made instead. FACEBOOK AIDES IN CATCHING POACHER In December 2023, photos of a famous nontypical Virginia buck, known as the "Hollywood Buck," posted on Facebook led to accusations against Virginia resident Jason Walters for poaching. Walters, who initially claimed to have killed the deer in Prince Edward County, was identified as having illegally hunted the buck and two other whitetails from Richmond, Virginia. Following a thorough investigation by the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR), Walters pled guilty to 20 wildlife violations. He was sentenced to six months in jail (with three months suspended), fined $2,500, and ordered to pay $11,000 in restitution. His hunting privileges were revoked for 100 years, but with 76 years suspended, leaving an effective ban of 24 years. Walters' accomplice was also found guilty and received a $1,250 fine, 30 days of house arrest, and a six-year suspension of his hunting privileges. The DWR emphasized that these penalties are among the harshest ever imposed and aim to deter future wildlife crimes. Investigations revealed that Walters had previously posted photos of the Hollywood Buck and other deer on Facebook, which were linked to the poaching incident. This case highlights the critical role of social media in wildlife law enforcement. Reference https://dwr.virginia.gov/media/press-release/dwr-statement-on-the-court-resolution-of-the-illegal-killing-of-three-deer-including-the-hollywood-buck/ https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/hollywood-cemetery-buck-poaching-investigation/ Alert! Bison, Buffalo The Rut Is On  For those heading to ANY United States park with Buffalo, Bison… Take this as "You've been warned"… The Yellowstone National Park rangers have a statement for everyone: The bison rut is in full swing. You may see mature males with their mouth open, tongue out and upper lips pulled back. This is how bull bison sniff pheromones and determine whether a female is ready to breed. Bulls will also display their dominance by bellowing, wallowing, and engaging in fights with other bulls. The winners earn the right to mate with receptive females. Bison are unpredictable and can run three times faster than humans. Use extra caution and give them additional space during this time. So let us add this, we hit on the topic last week; Please DO NOT become a Touron… A Tourist that is a Moron. A Touron. Don't Be That Guy.

Gleaming The Tube

1994's PCU, directed by Hart Bochner, tells the story of college life at the fictional Port Chester University, and represents "an exaggerated view of contemporary college life in the 90s" - according to the filmmakers. There are slobs, there are snobs, there is the specter of POLIITICAL CORRECTNESS and there is a little bit of skateboarding. The film features Jeremy Piven in his first lead role, a young Jon Favreau, David Spade, and George Clinton and the P-Funk All Stars.Kevin and Mike talk about the weird Jeremy Piven performance at the center of this movie, whether or not they liked this movie, the things the movie gets wrong, the things the move got right (P-Funk being awesome, basically), and the dawn of inline skating - and there's a brief side discussion of Kevin's college radio show.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: AI #60: Oh the Humanity, published by Zvi on April 18, 2024 on LessWrong. Many things this week did not go as planned. Humane AI premiered its AI pin. Reviewers noticed it was, at best, not ready. Devin turns out to have not been entirely forthright with its demos. OpenAI fired two employees who had been on its superalignment team, Leopold Aschenbrenner and Pavel Izmailov for allegedly leaking information, and also more troubliningly lost Daniel Kokotajlo, who expects AGI very soon, does not expect it to by default go well, and says he quit 'due to losing confidence that [OpenAI] would behave responsibly around the time of AGI.'

Episode 30: Molley and Chad interview Missy Johnson, owner of Lake Girl Apparel.  We're going to talk about her brand and how it was a perfect fit, given Missy's love for the water.  Hey, if you're going to enjoy the Lake Life, you should look good while you're doing it, right?  Be sure to listen to the end of the episode for a special offer! How Did Lake Girl Get Started? Missy lives in Minnesota (“the land of 10,000 lakes).  Lake Girl started in 2002, in Detroit Lakes, MN.  The original founder, Peggy, founded the store and focused more on a wholesale business model.  About 5 years ago, another company, LakeShirts purchased the company and took the Lake Girl brand nationwide.  Molley comments that Lake Girl clothes are available in the ship store at the State Dock Marina on Lake Cumberland, where she and Chad boat.  She loves the quality and softness of the shirts and sweatshirts.  Missy mentions how these products last forever, but people keep buying them because of the quality. How Did Missy Get Involved in the Lake Life? Missy begins my letting listeners know that there's a lake everywhere you turn in Minnesota.  The state's nickname is, “The Land of 10,000 Lakes.”  The Lake Life lifestyle is embraced throughout both the summer and the winter.  During the warm months, people go boating and swimming.  During the cold months, people are right back out there, ice fishing and ice skating.  Missy admits she actually lives on a river, but that's perfect because Lake Girl also has a River Girl collection.  She tells a quick story about recently taking a friend kayaking on the river.  The experience helped her friend to get over her fear of the water and now, she's a River Girl.  It's part of the power a great experience on the water and the surrounding nature has to change a person's life.  Molley agrees.  As soon as she and Chad get back on the lake, those deep breaths of fresh air melt away the stress and helps them to rebalance their busy lives. Chad talks about how this podcast got its start.  They noticed there weren't a lot of podcasts focusing on lake boating, which is their passion.  It's something for people who enjoy being out on the water having fun.  There's a huge community out there and Lake Life with Molley and Chad is providing a way for people to connect, learn and just enjoy life in general.  It's a big family. Molley adds that Chad tries to work in a boat ramp story on as many episodes as possible.  That prompts Missy to admit that they spend time sitting back watching people try to put in or take out their boats, all the time.  If you'd like to hear some funny stories, check out the following episodes:  Don't Be That Guy!, Ramp Etiquette and Trailer Safety and Learn from Our Mistakes. Has Missy Always Been a River Girl? Molley asks Missy about this, noting that it gets really cold, really fast in Minnesota.  Missy agrees, but then describes the surreal experience of having an actual bonfire on the lake.  It's a wonderful advantage to having such cold weather.  Another great reason Missy enjoys the colder weather is because it brings the opportunity to simply stand there and breath in that cold, fresh air while on or around the water.  There's nothing like it.  Missy's also looking forward to bundling up and paddling down the river to look at all of the autumn foliage and the wonderful colors.  It's actually going to be here first time and she's taking the friend she mentioned earlier.  They can't wait! Missy grew up near the Mississippi river and it was always a place she loved because it allowed her to cleanse her mind.  Water has always been part of her life.  Ironically, it's how she returns to feeling “grounded.” There's a funny story about how Missy and her boyfriend got to enjoy a waterpark with a lazy river.  After that, she told him she wanted him to build one for her.  A week or so later, they found a house for sale on a slow-moving river.  Now, her boyfriend often asks, “How's this for a lazy river?” How Does Lake Girl Apparel Standout from the Competition? Missy starts by saying the Lake Girl is their brand and if you see clothing with that name, it came from them.  They work with a specialty designer so the looks and products are able to change frequently.  Currently, they launch roughly 4 different designs per month. They also have a Lake Baby brand.  It's part of their Impulse Kids collection, which includes Dockboy collection, in addition to the River Girl collection, mentioned earlier.  Missy returns to the important aspect of quality.  She's received tons of stories from customers who constantly wear the clothing, without wearing it out.  It's part of why, in her opinion, the Lake Girl brand enjoys so many repeat purchases from its loyal customer-base.  Many of these customers love to visit their wholesale locations to see what's new.  Here's a link to the store locator. Lake Girl Is About More than just Clothing Missy mentions that the brand's best-seller is their All-American brand caps.  These are a customer favorite, year after year.  Every lake girl has to have a hat on the lake. They've recently added drinkware and mugs.  And, if you're looking for more Lake Girl swag, check out the magnets and keychains.  After all, ever girl knows it's always about accessorizing, right? Missy also mentions their waterproof, tear-proof stickers.  They'll make it through the dishwasher.  They'll last on your car or take-along other surfaces. If you're decorating your she-shed with a Lake Girl theme, don't forget to pick up on of their signs and a bottle opener. What Inspired Missy to Add the Lake Girl Brand to Her Company? Missy's main company is LakeShirts.  Truthfully, it kind of fell into place.  The original Lake Girl warehouse was located across the street, so integrating the two made sense for the business, as well as the customers. Missy joined the LakeShirts company five years ago.  She brought a lot of retail experience.  Once the Lake Girl brand was added, it was a perfect fit for Missy (see what we did there?).  Lake Girl has really benefitted from the infrastructure and reach that LakeShirts had already established in the market. Do the Employees Enjoy the Lake Life? Every chance they get.  In fact, they just created a design, “Off the Clock, On the Dock!”  Missy things the initial inventory was sold out just from staff purchases, even before it made it to the website.  The company is full of lake enthusiasts who work and play together in their tight-knit community. There Really is a Detroit Lake The company is in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota.  Missy estimates they have 5-7 lakes within a 15-mile radius.  What's the Biggest Recreational Activity in their Area? Fishing is incredibly popular, because it can be done year-round.  People fish from the bank, wading near the shores, off boats and yes, through the ice. The boating season in the Detroit Lake area last about 3 months.  Missy admits you can stretch it to 4.5 months, if you're brave.  Speaking of brave, they also have a polar plunge tradition.  This is when people jump into the frigid water, during the winter.  There's a health benefit, but more importantly, they've turned it into a charity event. A Special Offer from Lake Girl Apparel Before we go, Missy wants to offer a special code for the listeners of this episode.  Enter Mike and Molley into the Discount Code box during checkout, for free shipping off any order on the website.   Connect and Learn More About Lake Lady Apparel: Website:          https://www.lakegirl.com/ Facebook:        https://www.facebook.com/lakegirlclothing/ Pinterest:         https://www.pinterest.com/lakegirlinc/ Instagram:       https://www.instagram.com/lakegirl_inc/           That's a wrap for this episode.  We'd like to thank our friend Missy Johnson for guest hosting with us.  We hope you found it helpful, insightful and maybe a little entertaining.  Thanks for Listening!

Episode 28:  It's time for another episode of Lake Life with Molley and Chad! In today's episode, we're joined by our friends Fran, Rob and Adam to talk about Lake Cumberland, in Kentucky.  This is a continuation of our tour of lakes across Kentucky and Tennessee.  It's time for a deep dive into what makes this lake so special. Please note:  This conversation includes a few, random curse words.  We apologize if you find them offensive.  Additionally, we thought we'd let any parents with young kids know, before you begin playing the episode. Lake Cumberland Is a Special Place Molley and Chad are recording this episode at Grider Hill Marina.  Chad talks about why Lake Cumberland is her favorite place to go.  It's one of the prettiest lakes in Kentucky.  Although Molley and Adam agree that Dale Hollow is a close second.  Adam's been coming on the lake since 1985.  His buddy's parents had been coming to Grider Hill, since the early 1970s.  Adam bought a 1963 Marionette that took a lot of work to get running.  He talks about his experiences and why he really likes this lake.  He and his friends would come to the lake and ski all day and grill steaks in the evenings.  Fran and Rob have been coming to Lake Cumberland for the past 3 seasons.  They rode around with Adam a lot.  At the time, Fran and Rob had a pontoon.  They eventually purchased a 1986 Wellcraft St. Tropez, which was much better to sleep on compared to the pontoon. Chad asks Fran and Rob about their favorite areas on the lake.  They like 76 Falls.  It's close to Grider Hill Marina.  That's a plus for them because their Wellcraft doesn't have the power of other boats on the lake.  Rob comments about how much he enjoys the opportunity to go to sleep and wake up on the water.  It's worth the 3-hour drive. For Adam, even though it's a 5-6 hour drive to get to the lake, the serenity and ability to unwind is worth it.  However, the duration depends upon how many Walmarts or Dollar Generals he hits on the way.  Chad comments that it's a 2-hour drive, unless Molley's driving. Lake Cumberland Marinas and Campgrounds While this might not capture all of them, here's a good list of marinas:   Alligator 1 Alligator 2 (also known as Wolf Creek Marina ) Conley Bottom Lee's Ford ·      State Dock ·      Burnside ·      Somerset ·      Rowena ·      Grider Hill There are only 3 recognized campgrounds on Lake Cumberland: ·      Pulaski County Park ·      Lake Cumberland State Park ·      Conley Bottom Campground Favorite Activities at the Lake Adam talks about how much he loves to cook.  He always fixes nice meals.  One of his favorite recipes is Sausage Jalapeño Bombs, which he cooks right there on his boat.  The smell usually attracts other boaters for a quick sample.  Being able to share food and meals with friends is all part of what makes this so special for Adam. Molley talks about how Grider Hill Marina, build in the early 1950s, was one of the last family-owned docks on Lake Cumberland.  It was bought out a few years ago by a company called Safe Harbor.  There's a lot to do in and around the lake area.  One of Adam's favorite activities is to boat over to Cemetery Point at sunset.  There are many places people love to visit and explore on Lake Cumberland.  Having the chance to watch the sunset, while you're on the water is a terrific experience. What Other Lakes Have You Visited? Fran has visited Dale Hollow.  She and Rob have also been to Barren River Lake and Rough River Lake.  She's not a fan of boating on the river.  Adam comments you're either a river rat or a bathtub boater (lake boater).  It's Not All Fun and Games Adam and Rob talk about the time their engine stalled in some pretty deep water.  They were half-way back to their destination, and pretty far from shore.  The question was whether they should have tried to repair it or just toss out the anchor and anchor light.  The problem was the depth where they were at the time. In another incident, Adam had some boat trouble and ended up swimming the boat back.  They sometimes refer to him as Aquaman! Rob really enjoys the Grider Hills area, especially when he can get a few hours on the boat before everyone wakes up.  Places to Eat around Lake Cumberland During the conversation, a few places are mentioned. Fran mentions that Junction Station is a gas station restaurant that serves a pretty good breakfast.  The Eli Country Store is known for its cinnamon roll pancakes.  If you cross in to Tennessee, you can find a steakhouse.  It's only about 25 minutes from the marina.  Molley asks again about the boats the guests own.  Fran and Ron have the '86 Wellcraft St. Tropez.  Adam has a '73 Trojan Express Cruiser.  And at this point, the conversation goes off the rails for a bit. Choosing Lake Life for the Family If you decide to choose lake life is can bring the family closer together and create lasting memories.  There's definitely a sense of community at the lake.  There are events like the dock crawl where people get together for friendship and a little competition.  Fran explains that their children have grown up now.  Time at Lake Cumberland gives them the chance to unplug from the day-to-day world, reconnect to each other and to create new experiences together.  The group talks about when they begin to feel that sense of “we're going to the lake.”  You can feel the stress melting away.  Adam explains how the Lake Life actually chose him.  He hasn't turned back since. Chad tells a story about the time Rob and Fran's boat started to sink.  A clamp came off.  They didn't realize it until the marine assist boat was towing them back to the marina.  It definitely spoiled some of the joy of the trip. Chad explains how a guy with a jet ski basically took over the ramp, recently.  There are simply things you need to understand about launching and trailering your boat/PWC.  Check out the episode on Ramp Etiquette. More Fun Facts about Lake Cumberland The sunsets are beautiful.  The lake actually has more shoreline than FLORIDA.  (Yep, Google it).  The people really make this such a great place to visit.  This sense of community fosters a feeling of belonging and creates a support system that enhances the lake life experience. Chad comments that this sense of community is common to a lot lakes across the state.   However, there's always that one guys at the ramp.  Check out the episode titled, Don't Be That Guy! Molley notices that with the dock, the group really doesn't have to deal with the ramp.  Fran has a pop-up wagon they use to bring everything from the cars straight down to the boat.   That's a wrap for this episode.  We'd like to thank our friends Fran, Rob and Adam for guest hosting with us.  We hope you found it helpful, insightful and maybe a little entertaining.  Thanks for Listening!
