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.

Wanna hear the FULL Episode? Sign up for the Grad Program today! During this week's show Professor Paul and Zach will discuss a recent social media post that went viral for SOTG. How and why might that be the case?  During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc, we will consider "thermochromic" coffee mugs and how those work. How are these different from a thermobaric device?  Language, Context, and Free Speech The professor and Zach discussed the appropriate use of certain words, emphasizing the importance of context and historical usage in language. They expressed frustration with the "woke" movement's attempts to censor language, highlighting the double standards and the impact on free speech. Zach mentioned that the first half of their show is open to all listeners, while the latter part, including the grad program content, is restricted to enrolled members. They encouraged listeners to join their mailing list for updates and access to live sessions. Blackout Coffee Mug Promotion The meeting discussed the promotion of Blackout Coffee and EOTech thermochromic coffee mugs, which gained significant attention on social media with over 519,000 views. Professor highlighted the pro-Second Amendment stance of Blackout Coffee's owners and shared a video demonstrating the mug's feature. The group also mentioned the release of three videos commemorating the 10th anniversary of Team Honey Badger and encouraged viewers to explore the Student of the Gun website and social media channels. The conversation ended with a brief mention of an upcoming discussion on fighting shotguns during the Student of the Gun homeroom. Fighting Shotgun Characteristics and Options The professor discussed the characteristics of a "fighting shotgun," emphasizing that it should be a 12-gauge repeating gun, such as a pump or semi-automatic model, with an 18-inch barrel and a cylinder bore. He explained that while double-barrel shotguns are popular for hunting, they are not ideal for self-defense due to legal restrictions in some countries. The professor also noted the rising cost of ammunition, particularly for smaller gauges like 20-gauge, and highlighted the availability of more affordable options like the MAC 1014 Breacher compared to high-end models like the Benelli M4. Home Defense Shotgun Recommendations The discussion focused on shotguns for home defense, with the professor recommending a simple, reliable 12-gauge pump-action shotgun loaded with buckshot from reputable manufacturers like Federal, Winchester, or Remington. He emphasized that such shotguns should be basic with a short barrel, no sporting features, and no duck plugs, and suggested practicing with birdshot before using buckshot for defense. The professor also noted that in the U.S., shotguns are used more as fighting tools than in other nations, citing their effectiveness in law enforcement for over 125 years.
