HazzardAyre

Sunday, April 7, 2013

For the uneducated

Another rainy day in Idaho. Hazzard is getting swampy, but not like Hazzard swamp, two different things. So stuck inside, not bad , but doing up grades of the STL for HazzardAyre Radio, plus editing audio and video. Some days it would be great to have a production staff, on air personalities that shared our love of Hazzard County and southern Christian views , but guess that’ll have to wait.

So many are in the thought pattern, of , “ Don’t Go in There” like Little Red Ryding Hood is going to get ate or something, what they fail to see is the little flicker of flame that is about to turn into a raging inferno>> this kind of thing is not unusual here. Thing is I can remember at the dawning of Southern Steele, a syndicated radio and about to run TV show of what happens in a MC(Motor Cycle) shop ran by Cooter and crew of Hazzard County Choppers. At the time, the custom MC fever was going strong. I got together with a soon to be intern in Provo Utah, someone driving a rig for the Discovery Channel over heard the conversation, and the show was released with different spelling and such, but our version kicked its but on two other networks, and syndicated radio. Southern Steele, not only was the show, but became the network. Nobody or nothing came close and Southern Steele became its own entity , and in late 2005 the gig, moved to CokeVille Wyoming, and most of you know the rest. My consultant Julie Mac bailed, why? You’d have to ask her. Thing is HazzardAyre is not only what Southern Steele was, but is a building of something that is about to smash everything radio and TV like it and even a few shows unlike it. The rest of the media people here and even nationwide are not wanting to jump on board. They’re scared shitless of HazzardAyre.

They’re scared, of a radio show and network, that brings together the mindset of two popular TV shows, the Dukes-of-Hazzard and Airwolf. With me in the cockpit, flying this bad show as AyreWolf, and running with a fully unplugged , fight the system attitude and personality. I have never thought I was super special, or anything, still don’t. You could absorb the idea that my on air, personality is a mix of WolfMan Jack coupled with a greatly detuned Howard Stern, with southern grits, and a shine runners tenacity and you get me. My on air personality is not so unlike my off air attitude either. I am a take me as I am or get outta my face person. I will not throw away my individuality, my personality, or my beliefs for anyone. I will love Jesus Christ, I believe in marriage between a guy and gal only, I don’t believe or even think abortion should be legal or an option, I read my bible, and I pray. Folks that can’t handle that, just don’t come to the Wolf’s door. But I get off track here.

HazzardAyre is the show, it has some great backing and it has some great programming, done by a small staff of bikers, discharged military aviators, and yes Dukes-of-Hazzard enthusiasts combined into a thing we call the Knytes-of-Anarchy.

However HazzardAyre is much more than the obvious.

HazzardAyre, is playing music most have never heard or have forgotten, including southern music that is no where else available. HazzardAyre is preaching southern history and heritage, when no one else dared. HazzardAyre, is radio that runs old style radio dramas, HazzardAyre does our own comedy bits, from the attempt to find out how long a man could kiss a woman's toes in nylon hose. Hey read some of the other blog entries and you’ll find out more on that. HazzardAyre’s small but active news team, is usually first and in many cases breaks more local and national news than anyone here. Up to now we have been only available through syndication. Two things change this year.

In July, HazzardAyre will go viral on its own web site with streaming live 24 7 broadcasts. More over by this time next year , HazzardAyre goes fully live, as our own radio station. The FCC has opened a filing window for LPFM’s in October. Our application has been waiting and as I have learned is number one for full approval. Which means by this time next year , HazzardAyre on KDOH(Dukes-of-Hazzard) FM 105.7 Buhl Idaho. With a not so low power kick of 250,000 watts making us the biggest most powerful FM in Idaho.

During December 2012 into early January, I put up an ad on CraigsList. Searching for possible prospective candidates, mainly female to be on air personalities, with not so hide their head in the sand attitudes. Hey prudes do not need to work here. What I got, was about 5 that could have been something, two that were drug mothers, and wanted pay for work they had not done. One I thought was a real go getter, but became a spy for someone trying to kill the project the other, I’m not sure of. It was a disaster.

Now then folks ask why good looking eye candy on radio is important, hmmm , lets see, visual website showing the goings on in the studio while doing a live radio show. You don’t want mama two ton Tessie in the studio. Number two if your printing up things for posters and such to publicize the show and site, again bow-wow’ are not going to git-r-done.

Now the fact that to cut development and operational costs, with transmitter in Buhl, and studio needing more work, we started doing the production in my home. But because it is in MY HOUSE, all too many females that might, got spooked and though don’t go in there. I still can’t understand wuzz up with that. For those young ladies, too bad.

The bottom line, a big powerhouse of unplugged confederate southern radio is coming out of the Mountains here, and those blocking the road are getting bowled over.

Look out, HazzardAyre is radio unlike anything. But here’s the kicker and I’ll expand on this Monday, HazzardAyre is about to go TV. As well as radio.

And you disbelievers ignored us, and tried to find fault, you lost. Get over it, in fact all Yankee’ here’s my thoughts>>> ,

LuLu Hogg ain’t sung and we ain’t done.

Oops

Thank God I saw the light and got out of that trap, years ago, but here’s something.

As a try as I can to be an open minded person, I tuned into my other radio since I’m updating my music collection via cassette, in my truck.

Hey I needed Skoal, and so LDS Conference comes on, dang I forgot that. So that’s why my Internet is running slow. All them gall darn Mormons who ain’t in SLC this weekend are watching on the Internet. Funny the church charges money to watch. Really? I never saw anything in no bible nor the BOM, that says, lets make money off of these people. In fact I thought Gods knowledge was to be FREE. But the goof balls in Utah charge money to watch Conference. Hey Church President, I have a suggestion, you pay my Cable One bill, so I can get cable back, and I’ll watch. That’d make common sense. Not that much else does any more, the only intelligence belongs to Hazzard-ites. That is fans of and folks from Hazzard County. Read my last blog to figure that out.

Does anyone know who that gal who wears those pearl white outfits on Cable One’s ads? She’s not bad looking. Wonder if she’s open to doing other ads?

How about one like this>>> or >>>> I’d buy that wouldn’t ya’ll?

Any mile back to the air but I thought you’d like that.

Tune in, HazzardAyre Radio IS ON THE AIR NOW!!!

The 30 Day Challenge

As it was said on the Dukes, when Enos went to California to be LAPD’s top detective, is any place ready for this. After all field training in Hazzard can be Well HAZZARDOUS after all few places are like Hazzard.

Here in our area of Idaho we are somewhat blessed, with a town that so mirrors the Hazzard we saw on TV that Hagerman Idaho, became Hazzard at least in image and nick name. Might have been why the Knytes was founded there, likewise where the Hazzard County Garage, at least the real Hazzard County Garage was founded.

But I’m veering off the subject road here.

There’s a call, from our Pastor asking for more involvement of the congregation into church ministries. No problem, but question is, is the church ready for the challenge of us from Hazzard?

I don’t know how many times I have put myself out there asking for opportunities to serve. After all, Jesus said in Mathew, “ Never ask to be served, but how you can serve”. But I get the , we’ll get ahold of you brush off. Guess Hazzard County tenacity gets to some of these Yankees.

Its fair to say, that Hazzard-ites are more than just you run of the wool confederates. We’re a lot more fight the system, aggressive than many are. We see a need or opportunity we go after it, and make it happen, even though the revenuers and others say, can’t be done, or shouldn’t be done. Perhaps its God through the power of Hazzard giving us the shove in the back and bur under our saddles to do this and that. Yes you have to get that with this, they are a set, no unpackaging them. It’ll take a few hours for Yankee’s to figure that one out.

For all the things you saw on TV, for all the story lines and Hollywood, the Knytes-of-Anarchy originally the Hazzard County Knytes, are Hazzard County. After all Hazzard County is not just a place or location or coffee stop, Hazzard County is a place in the heart and soul and those of us who allowed Hazzard County to infect us, we are much better off. We believe in the sayings of, Just because it ain’t , don’t mean it can’t. Or instead of asking why, ask why not? Instead of asking why here? Why not here? Again I detoured.

It was those memories of things Hazzard County and those Duke Boys, that kept me sane in both Iraq during my two tours there with the 214, that also kept me on track in Afghanistan . Something would face me, and I’d ask what would Bo & Luke do? Or how would Enos deal with this? All too many times it was Hazzard County that helped me keep it together, when a buddy would get blasted by an IED . Some might ask how our squadron identified with the Dukes-of-Hazzard. The same person who played Boss Hogg, also played the preacher on Black Sheep Squadron, the TV drama, written by founder Greg Boyington, aka Pappy. More over here are things to think of. The CB handle of the Dukes, was the Black Sheep. Uncle Jessie on the cb was Shepherd , Daisy was BO PEEP. More over Luke Duke was a properly discharged Marine. Accident? I don’t think so.

The one TV show that we could get often on Armed Forces TV was the Dukes.

The results are that in many ways, the nick name of the Knytes-of-Anarchy is the Confederate Marines. Keeping that legend alive and teaching those no knowing what it really is about to be Confederate. Brining them awareness of Dixie Broadcasting online, and rebroadcasting same here over the air with our Hazzard County enhancements, on HazzardAyre Radio. Its just like I get asked about the reason behind the gold wings in many of our hedders and graphics, on this blog etc. The Knytes-of-Anarchy, as well as sister group the AyreWolvez are discharged aka reassigned, USMC/NAVY Pilots(aviators) , we love our Dukes and just as the General Lee, we love to fly. So golden wings are part of us. Its like the adage of many mc’s , if you don’t ride you’ll never understand, in us, if your not a Hazzard County fan, you’d never understand.

So to our friends at The River Christian Fellowship, you gave the challenge to us to serve, now the question is , are you ready for the challenge of Hazzard County? Are you ready to accept the Knytes-of-Anarchy, remember out of anarchy comes order.

Any mile its Sunday, need feed, and sleep. Tune in tonight to HazzardAyre Radio.

After the Show PhooteNotes

Well one more HazzardAyre show in the can as they say. Last nights edition wasn’t too bad, tried to get up on air myself, but tech problems with our link to YouTube kept fuggling up, so seemed as just when I wanted to speak something would trip up, so couldn’t yap as much.

Then got cotton dry mouth so bad my tung felt like sandpaper, so when I dared , fled to the shed to grab some Simply Lemonade and occasionally hit the head. What it’d be like to have a program aid in studio. I’d give that job to just not everyone, but just anyone that had the Hazzard look, and could finish my sentences before I do. Or at least could fetch liquid during the show. Ah for the days of bigger town radio.

Seems as some fence mending is going on with Mirinda and I, so I reupped her in the club, see what goes.

Church in the morning so I’m off to bed>> Thinking of doing lunch a Lotza Burger in Tweaker Flatts in the afternoon.

Now let’s see if I pee the bed, during sleep tonight.

Seems lately that’s been a slight problem. Maybe be something to do with all too much 100 mile sea while on air, and soda during show prep. Again what’d be like to have a Production Assistant. Maybe this summer.

He who does not prefer exile to slavery is not free by any measure of freedom, truth and duty.
--Kahlil Gibran

Here’s an idea , technology that works with and helps people, not replace them.

Here’s an idea, lets advance technology to where it helps people and makes work easier, rather than replace people. Of course too, there those people who believe in having to just push buttons. Reminds me of the Pixar movie wall-E where in the mothership everbody was as fat as a beached whale, trying to walk again. But that’s a subject for a different time. Thing is there’s too much automation. Consider the online screeners to post comments on some newspapers web sites on a story. One has to go to Desquis or some such. If you registered, you have to leave the story, log on, then post the comment. That is if you remember what the hell you were going to write or say in the first place. Here’s an idea, lets put some unemployed lazy butts to work, have some of these fat cows, sit there and screen comments. A LIVE person there, not some computer bot.

Might cut down on the hand outs, increase real productivity, put some money in the pockets of Americans and cure some of this so called Debt this nation is in.

Read a thing online about some big doings in Holbrook. I told ya’ll years ago and it panned out something stunk in that town, and it ain’t because of backed up sewers. I said then that there needed to be a cop from either Malad, or American Falls that patrolled that area regularly, More over lived there. Jan and I looked at setting up house there once. Thinking that was a good jump off for Lexibelle to service Utah, but enjoy the relaxed toew regs of Idaho . I smelled something goofy, about the goings on there, to many a Oneida County Sheriff deputy, as well as Power County. They ignored it and now three people are dead.

Makes ya’ll wonder does Cassia County or ISP, have anyone that actively patrols Strevell? I know local government money is tight anymore. Tax money is low, as people exit Idaho, like bees out of a hive after spraying model paint on the hive(Don’t laugh I did that once) but the reason Idaho is loosing people, is people want to be where jobs are, and areas where despite being 100 years behind, caught up and was conquered, and life improved. Utah is one of those places, Idaho could be too, we just need to get us going there.

Where Computers and technology help and enhance people, not replace them.

After all if a tiny mc/hot rod club based on the Dukes-of-Hazzard, can have a live, 365 /24 7 membership assistance line, so can the rest of the area as well as the nation.

Did you notice? KMVT no longer has a streaming TV newscast. Except for access for android, and smart phones, etc. Ya’ll cain’t just click on and watch. This is nothing new. Many Radio and TV stations are doing away with streaming. Idea is they can’t interject commercials or can’t sell interjection. Thank goodness you still and always will have HazzardAyre.

Question , are we the only ones still doing it right? If so why is that the dead beats in this town wont get off their rumpuss’ and train through Hazzard County University.

But lets get technology and computers and all to help and aid people, not replace them.

My thoughts, I could be wrong.

Feel the Power

I still want to know who names the fonts we use on our computers. Just like I’d love to know who the gal is whose voice is used or patterned after that is on all those computerized self checkouts at Smiths Food stores. Ya’ll gotta know she’s making billion dollars a year, with the royalties from every time, she says, “ Welcome Valuable Smiths Customer, please scan your first item or choose an option below” After she says, Thank you for shopping with us. Would ya’ll like to know who she is?

Okay then. Wuzz up at the station? We got the news from our contractors in Buhl, that we needed to replace most of the pipes in the building. There was a slight gusher in there with one pipe that broke. Thankfully no transmitter or such damage but it came close. Winter was not too kind. So we have a contractor doing that, should be done mid month May. Then its finish electrical the full on decorating. Which will be a mix of Confederate Southern art, for us here on KDXB. We sold our call letters KTOW to a station in Colorado to raise money for the station. All so sad, but hey KDOH will replace our AM’s call letters here.

What else is up? Still looking for sweet hiney for the web site as well as visual ads on national TV. Still leaning to hiring out of state from an agency, but thought is, why not scratch around the area and see one last time what can be found. Piss on those who can’t understand.

Of course this does not mean that a search for on air people wont be upcoming, but from the disaster in December, the club is looking at doing up a job fair at CSI, to get some folks wet in anticipation, of what jobs that Confederate Star Media and HazzardAyre Network, has to offer. Then choose from there.

I must inquire though, if a gal goes into a bar, to apply for a cocktail server, and she’s flat but fugdugly, how do they decline her application due to her being too fat and well like I said fugdugly? Is there then grounds for a discrimination suit? Or is there a business method of dismissing someone for not meeting the eye candy requirement? Since that is what we’ll have to do. Which brings me to a question that is posed to me all the time. Since we do radio, why should looks be important. First to answer that question, HazzardAyre Radio, running LIVE, is also on TV at the same time. Thus visual honey is required, and two, albeit I am not MR GQ, still in a closed in studio, doing 6 hours of solid radio for 5 days a week, that female co host better be at least somewhat better looking. Even though most of us males in the operation look like Klingons still , the female unlike other species has to look good. Plus at a remote, would you want your live announcer looking like a garbage can? If you think I’m the only one employing these tactics examine any religious broadcast on Sunday morning. See how many times the camera guy in that chapel, singles out the honeys in the audience as opposed to the plump ones. Even the area beloved Mormons, if you see a broadcast be it conference or Music and the Spoken Word, when they show the members of the choir, watch and count the ratio, between the times they show the good looking female members of that choir especially the young and near available as opposed to the plump ones.

Finally, HazzardAyre is doing up a Calendar Girl thing, for HazzardAyre Radio and The Knytes, in July. Location is where you think, those wanting to enter sign up at Anchors or on line. Hey we tried to get the Klover Klub and others to participate, none would.

Watch for news too, of the Reaper opening this October.

That’s the news from the hq of HazzardAyre.

How about a donation for us?

Since I have been having this squabble with Cable One, I have been watching Over the Air TV or OTA TV.

There are only two local analog signals in our area, one is the NRB NETWORK. that has good church Jesus based programming, most of which I really enjoy. Can’t have enough self enriching Jesus teaching. What gets to me is at the end of most shows , especially those with a preacher, there is the request for funds to keep whatever show going.

Okay fine, I understand that TV air time is not free. However here’s my rub. For 35 years now Both HazzardAyre and before it Dixie Diesel Radio/TV has never ever asked for one red cent, from its listeners or viewers, to keep us on the air. Never. We do our gig, run the network, and keep things on air ourselves from our own rather shallow pockets.

But perhaps we should begin to ask for donations. The network should do exit announcements asking those who enjoy our southern rebel Christian radio and TV, for donations. Hey for those not members of the Knytes-of-Anarchy or the AyreWolvez , this would be a way our audience could be part of our ministry.

Yes friends it is coming to that.

To follow up on a comment or two about Mirinda in Gooding and her racing efforts. Perhaps the ice be melting. I’ll get into it after my show this evening, but there might be a point here to doing some fence mending.

Any way going back to watching ParablesTV.
