Did you know the "worst of" episodes exist so that two fat, middle aged men can take three months off at the end of the season? Now that you know it, feel free to sit back and relax as we relive these memories: Brian knows he can't compete with black cock, and Jeff's is starting to come back now that he's losing weight, Jeff blew a seal, Brian says you can fuck him when he's dead, the mayor of Minot, North Dakota had to resign, a female Columbine high school teacher was grooming a girl, and the death of Wink Martindale.

The year 2025 is almost in the books. On this episode of Plain Talk, we took a look back at the last year, looking at some of the highlights (and lowlights, unfortunately) that made news. The legislature passed massive property tax reform. It's a "sea change" for what's long been a thorny issue, I argued, but can it be maintained? Lawmakers will have to continue funding the $1,600 credits for primary residences while simultaneously holding the line on attempts to water down the 3% cap on local spending. Also, shamelessness was a theme in state (as well as national) politics. Elected officials from former Minot mayor Tom Ross to Williston lawmaker Rep. Nico Rios made headlines with ugly behavior. The former faced consequences (he resigned) but the latter is still in office. Can he survive the 2026 election cycle? Speaking of which, how will the divide in the North Dakota Republican Party play out next year? Will the party hold a state convention? If they do, who will come? There will be several ballot measures next year, too. The legislature placed one constitutional amendment on the June primary ballot -- a single-subject requirement for constitutional amendments on the ballot -- as well as two more for the November ballot. One would make some modest but meaningful changes to the state's term limits, and the other would require that constituitonal amendments on the ballot get 60% of the vote to pass. How will those amendments fare? Co-host Chad Oban and I covered it all. If you want to participate in Plain Talk, just give us a call or text at 701-587-3141.

The Tech talk to have with family over the holidays. We dive into why tracking passwords and setting up two-step authentication safely is a must—especially for seniors and elderly users. Plus we have hunting news of a rare pheasant. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Rare White Pheasant Harvested in North Dakota According to KFYR TV, a Minot, North Dakota hunter harvested a rare white Pheasant south of the city on December 7, 2025. 37-year-old Eric Henke of Minot first saw the bird a few years ago on his family farm. A couple weeks ago, he and six others, plus four dogs, went out for a pheasant hunt. The group flushed the bird, and it flew into some brush. It was flushed again about 10 yards from Henke. With a pull of the trigger from his Benelli Super Black Eagle II 12 gauge, the bird dropped and ran, thankful to have one of the dogs retrieve it for him. Henke is now having the bird mounted by Dakota Taxidermy in Bismarck, North Dakota. In addition to being a rare white pheasant, it also had magnificent tail feathers that measured to about 22.5 inches long. Congrats Eric Henke! The Importance of Tracking Passwords and Two-Step Authentication for Seniors and Families Why Password Management Is More Important Than Ever In today's digital world, almost every essential service requires a password—banking, medical portals, email, social security accounts, utilities, and even prescription refills. For elderly and older adults, managing multiple passwords can quickly become overwhelming. Forgotten passwords, locked accounts, and inaccessible phones can lead to stress, financial risk, and complete loss of access to critical services. Common Problems Seniors Face: Forgotten passwords or PINs Locked accounts due to failed login attempts Smartphones breaking, updating, or resetting Two-step authentication codes sent to unavailable devices Difficulty remembering complex security rules Without a proper system in place, a simple phone update can become a major crisis. What Is Two-Step Authentication (2FA) — and Why It Can Be Risky Without Backup Two-step authentication (also called 2FA or multi-factor authentication) adds an extra layer of security by requiring: Something you know (password) Something you have (phone, text message, authentication app) While 2FA improves security, it can lock users out permanently if: The phone is lost or broken The phone number changes The device updates or resets The authentication app is deleted This is especially dangerous for seniors who rely on one single smartphone. How to Set Up Two-Step Authentication the Right Way (Senior-Friendly) To avoid lockouts, seniors and families should always set up backup access options. Best Practices: Save backup recovery codes on paper and digitally Add a trusted family member's email or phone number Use authentication apps that allow device recovery Avoid using only SMS codes when possible Tip: Print recovery codes and store them in a safe, labeled folder at home. Final Checklist for Seniors and Caregivers Track all passwords in one secure place Set up 2FA with backup recovery options Share access with trusted family members Store printed recovery information safely Review passwords yearly or after major updates Final Thought - A broken phone or forgotten password should never mean losing access to your life.

We ask for God's kingdom to come among us. Where you find the kingdom, there you find the King (Jesus). Where you find the King (Jesus), there you find the kingdom. We ask that He would give us His Holy Spirit to believe His Word. An earthly kingdom is found by the work of its people and by force. God's kingdom is found by the work of God in Christ and by His grace. His kingdom is seen now by the Word, Baptism, and the Lord's Supper. We anticipate beholding the kingdom that is yet to come, that we may keep our focus on what truly matters in this life! Rev.

In the fall of 1910, there was a big scandal in Minot. Citizens wanted to know: who drank the beer?

In this dynamic episode of What's On Your Mind, host Scott Hennen welcomes a powerhouse lineup — from Fargo's Mayor Tim Mahoney to investor Paul Polanjan of O'Leary Ventures and media personality Brian Kilmeade — for a jam-packed conversation on politics, opportunity, and the soul of North Dakota. Mayor Mahoney shares the city's big shift toward recovery-based community services and pushes back on claims about reduced police response. Meanwhile, business leaders and investors spotlight North Dakota as a “hidden gem” of American innovation — poised to lead the next wave in tech, energy, and defense. From the “Politics on a Plate” lunch series to a $15 million green pig-iron plant in Minot, and from Turning Point USA events to the economic vision of Kevin O'Leary, this episode captures a state on the rise — and the personalities shaping its future. Standout Moments & Timestamps: 00:03 – Scott opens with the day's agenda: civic engagement, city updates, and a packed guest list. 07:10 – Carter Eisinger of Cass County Republicans explains how grassroots endorsements shape local elections. 14:45 – The “Politics on a Plate” tradition: where brisket meets political dialogue. 20:20 – Fargo Mayor Tim Mahoney details plans for the new Resource and Recovery Center — a compassionate, treatment-focused alternative to downtown engagement programs. 26:30 – Mahoney refutes rumors about police cuts and reassures listeners about the city's fiscal health. 33:00 – Investor Paul Polanjan joins to discuss why O'Leary Ventures sees North Dakota as “the tip of the spear” for U.S. innovation. 38:00 – Inside the $15M “green pig-iron” project in Minot — reshaping American steel and national security. 45:15 – Brian Kilmeade and Scott riff on leadership, Trump's second term, and America's shifting political landscape. 53:40 – Closing thoughts: optimism, opportunity, and why “speed kills” in business and politics alike.

The nonfiction book, “It Never Happened” Volume 1, confirms and validates a colossal cover-up of the “UFO question” by the U.S. Air Force. It is authored by retired Air Force Captain David Schindele who was a former Minuteman ICBM launch control officer stationed at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota. It was there in 1966 when he was involved in a very serious incident where a flying object managed to take down all ten of his nuclear-tipped missiles and render them unlaunchable! This very grave situation involved the strategic U.S. nuclear deterrent force, which was America's first line of defense in the Cold War.It resulted in the Air Force “instructing” Captain Schindele to never speak of the incident again and telling him that, “As far as you are concerned, It Never Happened.” Captain Schindele maintained his silence for nearly forty years until other former missileers began to speak out about their incredible unearthly incidents. It was then that he attempted to learn the long history of Air Force cover-up. He needed to find out why the Air Force publicly insisted that flying objects didn't exist, that they posed no threat to national security, and that there was “nothing to investigate.” He also found he needed to confirm to the world the awesome Truth that “We are not alone in the Universe.”The book reveals the enormous amount of attention given to Unearthly Flying Objects by the Air Force, which is documented in its own investigative efforts code-named Project Sign and Project Grudge. Those projects are examined in detail, which outlines a trail of convoluted and contorted investigative activity by the Air Force to determine modus operandi of the objects and their threat to national security. This investigative activity was impacted by crucial and essential efforts by high level officials to also protect Truth of the UFO question and the closely held Magnificent and Monumental Secret of Roswell and other recoveries. Released secret and top secret government documents bring all this into the open and into perspective, which then serves to confirm the reality and Truth of the “UFO question.”BioRetired Air Force Captain David D. Schindele spent his active military career as an ICBM launch control officer with both the Atlas E and Minuteman One weapon systems, and then he remained in the Air Force reserve long enough to obtain his retirement papers and retain his officer commission. After active duty, he worked as an aerospace engineer in development of the Air Force Manned Orbiting Laboratory, and also Apollo astronaut backpacks used on the moon. He then settled into a thirty-two year career as a computer systems analyst working for two major companies, until retiring in 2002.For nearly forty years, Captain Schindele kept his Air Force mandated secret of the un-earthly experience he had, which put ten of his Minuteman missiles out of commission. It was only after other missileers began to tell of their similar experiences that he recognized that Truth of the “UFO question” must be released to all of humankind. He currently resides in Washington State with his wife Diana, in a marriage of twenty-one years, and they have a combined family of four adult children and eight grandchildren.https://www.amazon.com/dp/0998689041 https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The "What's On Your Mind" crew tackles a mix of sports frustration and political analysis. The episode kicks off with the hosts lamenting the Minnesota Vikings' latest loss, focusing heavily on the offensive line struggles and Carson Wentz's lack of protection. They dive into whether the team was "outcoached" and joke about the possibility of convincing a retired Jason Kelce to join the team. Shifting gears, the hosts discuss a pre-taped interview with Senator Kevin Cramer. Topics include the government shutdown, the energy sector, and North Dakota's role in national defense, particularly the transformation of Minot and Grand Forks Air Force Bases to counter threats from China. They also touch on Cramer's relationship with Donald Trump and a theory that US agriculture could "grow our own way out" of economic issues. Senator Cramer provides insight from his meeting with President Zelensky's chief of staff, discussing Trump's view of foreign policy through an economic lens. Finally, former NDSU and Wyoming coach Craig Bohl, now head of the Coaches Association, joins the show to discuss the major issues in college athletics, primarily the NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) mess and the transfer portal. Coach Bohl highlights the exploitation of young players by predatory agents and the threat to the academic mission of college sports. He advocates for a national registration and salary cap for agents and a potential "buyout" system to compensate schools that develop players who transfer. Plus, the host gets his prediction for the NDSU vs. South Dakota football game.

You haven't murdered anyone? Jesus says your anger makes you guilty. Never committed adultery? Your lustful look already has. Six times Christ declares, "You have heard it said... but I say to you," crushing us with impossible standards that culminate in the command to be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.  The Rev. Dr. Matthew Richard, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Minot, ND, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Matthew 5:21-48.  To learn more about St. Paul's Lutheran, visit anchoredminot.com. The Gospel of Matthew bridges Old and New Testaments, presenting Jesus as the promised Messiah who fulfills the Law we could never keep and establishes His kingdom of grace for all nations. Written by a tax collector transformed by pure grace, Matthew reveals Christ as the true Son of David and Emmanuel (God with us) who challenges us with the crushing demands of the Law in His Sermon on the Mount to the sweet comfort of the Gospel in His death and resurrection. From royal genealogy to glorious resurrection, this verse-by-verse study proclaims the One who conquered sin, death, and the devil for us, now delivering forgiveness, life, and salvation through Word and Sacrament as He remains with His church always, even to the end of the age.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Dustin McNally was chosen by Republicans in District 42 to replace former state Rep. Emily O'Brien, who resigned her seat to take a position in Gov. Kelly Armstrong's administration. But despite emerging from that process the winner, he called it a "clown show" and a "bad faith effort all around" on this episode of Plain Talk, describe it as something that doesn't serve the people well. Under North Dakota law, legislative vacancies are filled by the local committee for the political party the vacating lawmaker belonged to. This means the new lawmaker is picked in a small room where the populist faction of the NDGOP has shown it can win, often by controlling who gets to participate. That was the case in District 42, according to McNally, though the tactic backfired. An attempt to block participants who had paid their dues and paid their residency upon entering the meeting "pissed off some voters they brought to the meeting" and swung their votes to him. McNally, who makes no pretense about being a moderate Republican, said even though he won, he would have liked to have seen the party get far more participants. The final vote was just 20-17 in McNally's favor, meaning less than 40 votes were cast to elect someone to the Legislature. Even though O'Brien was just re-elected last year, the law requires that McNally's appointment be confirmed by the voters on the next general election ballot, which will happen before the next regular meeting of the legislature. McNally says he plans to run, and expects to face a primary challenger from the populist faction. Also on this episode, co-host Chad Oban and I discuss the City of Minot's decision to withdraw from the League of Cities over the organization's support for Gov. Kelly Armstrong's property tax plan, and the somewhat odd spectacle of activists who say voter ID laws are voter suppression encouraging voters to get IDs.

Marriage is an institution created by God for the enjoyment of a husband and wife, the raising of children, and the edification of society. After being married for four years, Luther teaches the honor of this commandment and clearly confesses the trauma that occurs when it is broken.

#SkimsPartner https://www.skims.com/killer LIVE FROM VIDCON 2025 : When 18-year-old college student Anita Knutson was found stabbed to death in her North Dakota apartment, the case stunned the quiet town of Minot. Her door was locked, her room undisturbed, and for years, no one had a clue who could've done it. Nearly 15 years of the case going cold, an arrest would bring shocking details to light, and reveal just how close the killer had been all along.

We speak with a company that provides guest WiFi solutions and interactive maps, and an airport seeking to use the technology to enhance the customer experience. In the news, a study of drone risks to aircraft, evasive action to avoid a B-52, route changes at Avelo and Breeze, and the possibility of continued relaxation of TSA security checkpoint rules.

MidAmerica is utilizing the airport WiFi offered by Purple to help engage its customers and bring value to the travel experience. Shawn and Darren talk about traveler engagement, what that means, and how it has changed over time in the context of the airport experience. They explain how airport WiFi can be used to provide targeted communication that helps the traveler navigate the airport safely and reduce anxiety. Because personal information is always an important topic in a system that collects data, we look at how it is protected in the context of airport WiFi. Consumers are generally willing to share information if they know it is secure and they receive some value in return. At the same time, collecting too much information adds friction, and with too much friction, customers will disconnect. Purple was founded because getting connected was sometimes difficult while traveling. MidAmerica is using Purple's airport WiFi offering to engage travelers and improve their experience at the airport. Aviation News Embry-Riddle study warns of drone risks to aircraft The Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University study was conducted for the FAA. Researchers looked at data from 6,037 documented flights with altitude information and found that at least 573 flew to an altitude of between 400 and 500 feet, while 781 flew to 500 feet or above. The ceiling established by the FAA for drone flights is 400 feet. The study utilized sensors placed across the country that collected data from Remote  Identification signals, which the FAA has required registered drones to transmit since 2023. Pilot Of Delta Air Flight Performs ‘Aggressive Maneuver' To Avoid Mid-Air Collision With B-52 Bomber Delta Air Lines flight DL-3788, an Embraer 175 operated by SkyWest, was flying between Minneapolis and Minot International Airport in North Dakota. Minot is also a US Air Force base for B-52 bombers. During the approach to the airport, the pilot executed an “aggressive maneuver” to avoid a B-52 on a convergent path. Minot Airport has no radar. Air traffic control visually ensures there is sufficient separation between aircraft on approach to landing. Avelo to ground West Coast flights, says decision won't affect Tweed or Bradley Avelo Airlines has announced that it is closing its West Coast flight network by the end of the year. That includes its base at Hollywood Burbank Airport and all destinations to and from California, Las Vegas, Oregon, Montana, and Washington state. Avelo started operations in 2021 at Burbank.
