Its not an equal playing field but then the genders are not equal either

The Gender roles and pay for those roles are still different.

Recently I came across a news story that went something along the lines of women in Hollywood are still not given the respect either in the entertainment TV/FILM/Music nor the equal pay or opportunities much less casting than that of their male counterparts. The ACLU apparently is looking into a law suit, to equalize the playing field and pay scale. Is this difference due to breaking still that big glass ceiling ? Or is it that many women don’t aspire nor try to get to that level?

As I was just recently looking over the ad agencies to get some sort of TV and print exposure on all things HazzardAyre Radio, etc. I noticed that what few women that were on several of the sites of those agencies, were in mostly assistant or clerical jobs. Not much into the creative nor producing areas. Does that mean women are not as equally creative, or is it rather that women will not produce the Sexual or at least the babe on page ads etc, that men might do? On radio outside of 3 that I know of off hand Gina at KBAR in Burley, Robin Quivers, Howard Stern’ sidekick and Beth Ann of Common Sense or CSC Talk Radio. Of course there are many others that can hold their own so this must in major markets not be a factor, but in mini and very religious conservative circles that inequality is near epidemic.

But not just in media.

I have seen the inequality in such areas such as Real Estate, Insurance sales, and others. The roles are that the women do the treeing of the customer, but the men of an agency are the ones that finalize most if not everything. The duties of motherhood, tending to and of and for children, keeping a house or home, the feeding of her male other, yes I believe that marriage should be only between man and woman, not queer with queer. Its not good, I also believe in not mixing races in marriage either, as each race has its own culture and should not be mixed. Children suffer the worst, becoming mongrel mutts, rather than pure bred . Dig where I’m going there? Sorry slightly askew of topic.

Of course race even if its not openly practiced gender bias, as well as race comes into play. Example, most companies will hire an oriental lady for a more intellectual position while if its eye candy the company wants to be the first greet at the reception desk, will be a blonde , blue eye’d super babe, rather than the nerdy looking gal in the glasses. Although I can say the latter can be hotter than a methane powered fuel altered at a dragstrip if you turn her loose out of that subdued attire. Remember the hot librarian?

Of course while not fair there’s certain positions that are better off with at least a moderate level of eye candy upkeep, than others.

Here’s an example, Robin Quivers who I hold as a very professional and able person in this broadcast industry. Robin is not what what you would call a super model. However her wit , her look although not outwardly so, but she keeps herself up. Which enhances Stern’ image. Stern is good, but never would have become what he is without her. Of course us male corpuscles need to at least show some level of eye candy or at least a look that does not fully disgusts , the audience, especially if the radio show is looking to go both visual as well as audio(radio). Just like yesterday, and even the day before(Saturday). This local guy, calls wants to be an on air person. When he walked in I thought this ain’t going to work well but if he has a voice we’ll try. Not even an air check cd, no portfolio, nothing. Strike one; then he suggests his mother. If you wanted to cast Granny from the Beverly Hillbillies , maybe, but for our gig, never. Especially when it became neither could stand to be around bikers nor truckers, I thought this is a disaster. At least he saw that and left.

Now finally on the Evanston duration. With as much as needs to be done and while I’m no big fan of this, still the rigs need tweaked, Highway Hooker Toewing is getting called more 10 calls just over the weekend, all thankfully from our listing on Yelp, Hazzard County Choppers just about to open, and of course HazzardAyre Radio, and all the channels relating to thereof, needs to be completed. Rather than pull up stakes and all , the idea is to establish sub studios in metro Utah, Metro Idaho, and further west near more urban Wyoming, and voice track the rest. So for at least a year and to be patient until the first $600k from the partial sale of AyreWolf Aviation that will soon run in Idaho and Utah as HazzardAyre Aviation btw, then make the choice for the HQ depending on the results of the tests of the sub studios. Rather than pulling up stakes and uprooting things. Right now I have a great place to live, my expenses are not too high, and there’s a few dollars turning over. Although I’ll need to pitch the concept of my Bishop getting the Ward/Church to cover June’s house rent, so I can pay for the new engine for my Subaru, but it’s the absolute last time I’ll ask for that, as , of July, we’ll be opening Hazzard County Choppers, LexiBelle(My toew truck> going from this> to this>) will be much prettier, and of course HazzardAyre Radio, and its siblings getting more popular, more ad money. Thus I’ll still be on our own, and not having to lean on anybody. The name of my truck in case you were curious, comes from two sources. The first from a great looking gal that used to work at Rupe’s Burgers in Blackfoot Idaho in 1988 or so. She and I got tight one night in my truck behind the Albertson’s Food store there. The other half is split between being a southern belle, but more so that Belle was the other half of the aircraft Col. Greg(Pappy) Boyington flew with the 214 aka BlackSheep, his bird was named LuciBelle, mine truck LexiBelle.

Any mile gotta get ready for the HazzardAyre/HighwayHooker Radio marathon, starting at 15:00 hours today.

But in closing can women gain the equality they desire? I say yes, but only if they are willing to take the risks and make the effort men do.

That one good looking blonde with those deep red lips

We Have all seen her that Blonde in the black and white photo crouching. The lady is in black & white, but her lips are colored deep red and her nails in black, who is she?

If you use the free edition of either Yahoo or Hotmail, you see her, in the side bar of the email program. It’s some sort of scam, and while I’d never click on it to see the offer, I often wonder, just who the heck she is, and does she even know she’s being featured in the ad?

She kind of looks like one of those refuge children from one of those foreign aid outfits, except she’s obviously American or at least Anglo Saxon, and urban.

Now you may say, yea but you use off line gals in your pictographs. True, but each one knows we are and we pay VERY DEEP for permission to use their images.

Used to be you could just feel free for image theft, and few if anyone knew much less cared. Facebook , Stumbleupon, and others quickly changed that. Instantly people know your swiping their mugs, and using it as image graphs. And they do sue. Fortunately we haven’t been, but the same people are located and compensated. At least here at HazzardAyre/Southern-Steele Media. However Not everybody is that honest. Guess our rebel roots show more than most admit.

Which brings me to a subject on subjects that need to be addressed. While HazzardAyre and all the channels we do on Livestream, are known to club members, few others have no idea they are there, or if its worth your time to look in on them. So again with summer hopefully getting here soon, our plans are to go on a TV media blitz and get the word out, about us who get the word out. But TV ad’s are not the only road we are going down here. Everything from T shirts to sweats, to copies of our old shows on cassette, to newspaper ads. Except for the Uinta County Herald, as they pretty much told me to get lost. That being said, we can be heard anywhere a good solid internet connection can be made, so why not advertise in many markets and even in a few trade and enthusiasts publication. The only hurdle? Getting a honey or two in great threads, nothing cheap nor trashy, more like classy and clean, to pose with a truck , Harley and yes even a tow truck, and warbird aircraft to enhance the ad. Maybe we’ll get lucky to find someone who can voice the TV ad, past that its only visual. We can’t yet pay a bunch of money, but it’d be a way for a few teens or even young adult women to make a few extra dollars.

More on the guy who woke me up with his mother Sunday morning at 08:00 and our final run at all things Evanston, next entry.

Until Monday morning at 09:00 when we’ll do a day long Highway Hooker Radio marathon, www.livestream.com/highwayhookerradio see you all on the stream radio.

So I went back to church, now kinda wishd I hadn’t

So I decided ah what the Heavens I’ll go back to church. Now b4 some of ya’ll think that I’m bad mouthing the denomination any don’t. I have one of the best if not thee best now Bishops that I have ever had. His basic cabinet aka the Bishopric are great people, but that’s except for one Family the McFadden family, the rest of many there are real jerx and about as inviting as cobra snakes. So I went to sacrament meeting, renewed my promises and honor to Heavenly Father, and who was to speak ? A young lady there that I truly am sorry I offended along with her immediate family, it was not done in meanness or any thing, and I’d love to be able to apologize to her, maybe the Bishop can arrange that. So this same young lady gave a fantastic talk, and I never was a bit bored. She got to the matter quite well , was very articulate, I wish I could hire her, she’d make a great on air talent.

Then came one of our area ward Missionaries. About as bored as I could be, I went to sleep several times. People who just run long sentences and just drone on its like, add some humor and something uplifting.

Then the next speaker got up, and while not as bad, nearly put me out into never, never land.

So that was over, on the way out, I was kind of ushered to class. The teacher and all is fairly good, but outside of maybe two or 3 in that class I feel about as welcome as the sheep, I know in a way that I am, but still a bit of tolerance is needed here.

Priesthood, meeting. I stayed long enough for opening excersizes, but left fairly early. In all cases, outside of Brother Larson and a very fine few in there I again felt like the lone Coyote in the heard of Buffalo. I don’t even get asked to say an opening prayer, no matter what meeting of the church it is.

See ya’ll tonight on the radio, overnight at www.livestream.com/highwayhookerradio

The Wyld and not so Wyld One’s

There are some people that truly need to read this blog I carve out before they bother me with an interview. Especially on an early morning Sunday. Glad I was not out brewing last night, but rather on air. Even then, I love a brew or two and maybe some Shine during a show would be a groove I get into.

Being a bit loose in the mind makes great radio.

But so this guy, calls wants to be on the station. Well ya’ll can’t say I just want to hire women. So I invited him up to the Cat House here for a chat. So He showed up I showed him some of what goes on, and he says his Mom might be interested. Fine, groovy, so she calls yesterday night and wants to run up this morning. Oops Did I say; MORNING? I don’t do mornings EVER! I do afternoons , maybe but seldom before 14:30 . I need my sleep. I’m getting older, I’m stuck in my ways , and they are GENUINE SOUTHERN KOUNTRY ways, not idiotic Yankee ways.

So I get’s up, as they are tapping at the door at 09:00, I stagger out and they expect me to be bright eyed at that hour after doing radio until 07:00 . I got an hour of sleep.

During the interview, of the theory of this outfit and the station being that of a biker club, and the frequent socializing that occasionally has boobs, booze and bikes involved the booze side turned em off, so I wasted my half day yesterday , and got up too early, so I’ll see you after church. I should have put in as I always do, if you don’t ride and can’t accept our two wheeled culture you should not apply to work at HazzardAyre Radio. I’m sorry that’s what it is.

On this gig, while we are growing, maybe we’re trying to grow, the crop in a field that just might be filled with lye. In other words, and I’ve heard it before from way too many people, this village does not want new business’s , or at least ones out of the normal, nor does it like advanced progress.

Gotta ask the Bishop, today about helping with my rent for June, since I need to get the car fixed.

I didn’t want to, but with things the way they are, days like now, make me really want to just say oh poo, with Evanston and say hello Burley, I’m coming home.

Once I get the car fixed, I can then get over to Burley, find a place to hang my hat, and just get out of here.

Let you know the results after church. That’s why I love online radio, it can move where I do.

So in closing, if you, any of you, read or cruise across our help wanted ads, for on air help at HazzardAyre or any part there of, if you don’t ride, don’t truck and are too Yankee, don’t apply here.

Read this blog first.

The List keeps growing and we keep going

I’m always amazed at how much we are growing here at HazzardAyre Radio. What started out as a mere smidgen of an idea in 2010 has grown into nearly a full entity of its own.

But it was only two years ago when we finally got the correct instruction of how to go to a stream, rather than just meandering over Terrestrial radio. Terrestrial radio is not bad, it gets to the spear point, but if your one of our Warriors member on duty on station half way around the world, your not going to be able to tune in as you would on a world wide streaming service like we have now.

So that you know where to find us.

Here’s a list.

KDXC FM 105.7 Buhl Idaho

KNAK AM 1240/FM 105.3 Woodruff Utah/Evanston Wyoming

www.livestream.com/maximumoverdriveradio

We are the home of southern fried internet and over the air over the road and in the air radio.

Another show done, now ready for bed, yea right?

Another AyreWolf Radio show done and aired. Took long enough. Had a malfunction in the inline settings, on ye ole computer, but some on the fly engineering and it seems to work okay, I feel proud of myself when I can figure these things out. There just are times, when you need to use your cranium a bit, to get things done. You get to a point where you know there isn’t anyone you can call mid early morning, things go ary and you just have to get your cranium fluids flowing then your okay.

Weather here has been really wet, despite the fact that its only raining on the desert mountain floor, up in the Higher Uinta mountains and one peak at 9000 feet above sea level, where as Brian and I were working in our transmitter shack, it decided to snow. The freezing drizzle getting up there made the venture tricky but we’re getting closer to launching the radio station over the air in two months, so its getting exciting.

Still haven’t heard from Infogenix or anybody on building the stations web site and all that goes with it, but got in touch with the friendly folks, that rebuilt Beth Ann of CsC Talk Radio’s site and did the streaming set up, so hope to have it all together for the launch in August. Our FM will be banging on the doors and from the dash boards of truck cabs at a whopping 250k watts, our AM will be knocking as loud at 25k from here which means a bunch of prep work and good hiring.

The latter remains a mystery, one applicant suggested raising the bar, which I would if we could just get someone in the studio that’s worth it. So far that hasn’t happened. It’s one thing to get applicant requests for more exploration on the matter, by email and such, but no phone call, and not being already local to just walk in and do edgy , racy, total off the wall fight the system radio is tough. More over if your looking for a female sidekick. It makes for very long days, but at least we’re getting there. Shows are airing on Livestream for now, so hey we are on the way again.

What drove me back to radio

When I start having days like today where technical problems with equipment, where I’m in such a place without resources for replacement parts, I think my where did the days of just plain good old fashioned trucking and towing with the wind in my hair, out in the expanses of the Mountain West go? Then I remember that one early morning just outside of the town of Spencer Idaho. That was the trip that had me crapping my britches and doing mucho praying.

The trip didn’t start any different, and had we been loaded it wouldn’t have been as bad. But up to Wisdom Montana just over the Idaho/Montana border, we went. When we started seeing freezing drizzle in Salmon Idaho, after eating a good meal, when I say we I mean 3 trucks that were owned by Circle 4 Cattle Company of Jerome/Gooding Idaho. There was myself, Stuttering Mel, YellowJacket and RoyBear. As we started up that fearsome two mile highway with switchbacks that would make a snake jealous it decided to snow. And I MEAN SNOW, like 2-1/2 to 3 inches an hour. Even with chains it was a go a bit, back down and thrust again. By the time we reached the town of Spencer, after blowing out the diaphragm of the injector on Mel and I’s truck, getting stuck 6 times loading, we pulled into a LDS church parking lot on a Saturday night no less, knowing that church members would be there by 9:00AM, it was on that morning, with the truck idling to keep warm, on a lonely AM radio in that old Peterbilt, there came the soothing sounds of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. I then thought how can I bring this to the working trucker? I then fell back into the mindset of building the ultimate truckers radio network, throughout the Mountain West to bring Heavenly Father and the teachings of Jesus Christ into the cabs of working truckers everywhere in our region. Not on one big watt station that had its problems of fading in and out, but on stragically placed small 20,000 watt or less AM and FM stations where able . So just shy of things breaking Hazzard County, I met with the then RoadMasters Association members, aka now the Rode Knytes Association, and the Long Haul Trucker Radio Network, was born. After the Hazzard County thing and just after the Highway Hooker Radio Network branched out The Dixie Diesel Trucker Network brought the sounds of God, and Jesus along with southern bred rebel born fight the system into thousands of truck cabs across the region. The original founding sponsor of the network was Long Haul Jeans company, the other one and don’t ask why, but the second big sponsor was Leggs Hosiery Company.

That’s how I got back into radio, but there are days like today that I’d love to just fire up a rig and just go truck it.

HazzardAyre is the next phaze of Dixie Diesel in fact the mothership now of Dixie Diesel/Maximum Overdrive Radio.
