I've noticed something that I have always suspected but never comprehended. All the time I was partially hooked up with Smelly Shelly, gaining on air or pin up girls for HazzardAyre Radio, was much easier. However once the word spread I was prowling single the aspirations and recruiting resources pretty much evaporated. However this is not the first time this has occurred.
Back when I was with Monkee, there were no less than 30 to 40 applicants applying to us for the coveted openings of that for then known as Dixie Diesel Trucker Radio. From which we gleaned Robin Wittaker, of Minidoka Idaho, and few have reached that mark of success that Robin gave us. In the following years, I remember when I resided in the then small town in Utah called Tooele, when I alone was recruiting candidates to fill on air and pin up openings I found that there was none or very few that applied. However when I met Eva Marie, she put in an ad in the local newsrag and we soon after had no fewer than 20 sweet bodies in the house and 5 always in studio. Trust me on this as I have video on VHS VCR tape, to prove it. We again rose to a level that few OTR radio shows have attained. Once I was single, no applicants. Now the situation was slightly different in Twin Falls and surrounding area as most honeys there that will do such things already know us, same situation in Rigby/Idaho-Falls. We had moderate success even to the point a former LDS Missionary applied and had no qualms in allowing the caressing of toes in hose.
Evanston however has been an eye opener. The few that have applied , show up once , but never return for a trial episode on air. The fact that 80% of the show and network is ran from the comfort and all of my domicile. That's due to a serious lack of facilities that could be had for such an enterprise, and two the mentality of most women, is that if your a single male corpuscle, your there with a loaded gun that is very potent. Where as the man involved with a significant other, is mild if active in the crotch so no problem. So fear leaves. And you get employees, or potential talent.
With that said, if the word got out here that Howard Stern was doing auditions for a opening on his program, there would be a line a mile long. The real deal here is this; I had been doing off the wall, radical radio long before Howard Stern ever crept into Radio, and way longer than Don Imus. My career started at age 8 when I stumbled into KCPX AM 1320 in Salt Lake City Utah. I evolved and honed my craft, into a CMA, and Emmy Award winning show.
Dixie Diesel was our beginning , HazzardAyre is where we are at, and both were there and are there for those piloting the big trucks that make American commerce possible.
With all of that said, The Hazzard County Knytes aka Knytes-of-Dixie, as well as the Iron Knytes Association, have a solid and honored history. What started out as a bunch of neighborhood kids in Layton Utah showing off HotWheels Cars and trucks, then building mini bikes and evolving into our hot rods, trucks into that Lord guided day when Hazzard County found me, those 15 of us in that Taco malt shoppe in Hagerman Idaho, has grown to just over 250,000 members nationwide and that's just the Knytes. If one were to count the membership of the AyreWolvez our aviation brother organization, our classic farm equipment unit called the Deere Dazzlerz Association, it all averages out to just under 500,000 members nationwide. So when the mother ship group said lets do a Stern inspired thing of HazzardAyre, I said why not the entire organization? The founding of to today. Many of the pinups, and feature model talent applicants that we finalize on, will have coveted parts and placements on the movie. We are talking big $'s here for a sweet honey to make being our talents. Yet the grind of finding is all the majority of my efforts most days. Now there was some sniffing around by a gal who pilots a real knockout Mustang from Las Vegas, who said if we wanted to get serious let her know. So I did on Facebook. She says she'll be here sometime this week, which is a good thing if she really shows up, yet even when I gave her a real phone number she has not called. Hmmm, these are just some of what we'll be talking about on HazzardAyre Coast2Coast FM tonite starting at 23:00(11:00PM) Hazzard County Time.
