The Wilder Ride

In today's episode, we get a chance to welcome Hawk Hagebak to the Listeners Lounge. First, Alan and Walt spend some time catching up from last week. Since this episode was recorded just after Memorial Day, they both discussed the holiday and what it means to them both. Then guest Hawk Hagebak joined them in the lounge to talk about the careers he's had. He started off after high school in the Coast Guard. After a four year stint, Hawk decided on a career in law enforcement. While in that career, he became an avid motorcycle rider along with his wife. Before retiring from the police force, he was asked to write a book on his adventures on his motorcycle. So, he became a published author. His life took a dark turn when his dad passed away, only to then loose his wife to stage 4 cancer 11 days later. He took a ride through Canada and the Pacific NW for five months and has since settled on top of a mountain in North Carolina. He has taken comedy classes, continues to write and is still trying to figure out what he will do when he grows up. Hawk then hung out with Alan and Walt to comment on some odd news items. Then, all three shared some movie/television tips followed by some podcast shoutouts.

Today's episode features radio host, James Enstall of Geek to Me Radio. Alan and Walt chat for a bit opening up the show. Walt, as a private detective, is seeing more work since the state is starting to loosen it's restrictions. Alan then told a story of glamping with his wife and friends. They bring James onto the show and talk about his career in radio and how he has cultivated a long and distinguished list of celebrities and talents who have appeared on his show. James then hangs out and helps chat about some odd news stories of the week. We all wrap up with some movie/streaming recommendations and some podcasts we are all listening to.

Our guest on the official "first" episode of our revamped season 3 is radio talk host, BK on the Air. Walt and Alan open the show discussing one of Alan's dogs, Riley, deciding to eat a bottle of Advil. It was a crazy, dare we say, wild, few days following the incident. We are happy to say, Riley is still alive and with us, which only helps to make the story more entertaining.

Once BK joins, we get to learn about his passion for talk as well as when and where it began. He took us through his radio resume to where he is today, hosting BK on the Air on WBHF radio and over the net. The episode then moves to some funny news items, where BK hangs out to throw in his own brand of commentary. The guys wrap with a few movie or streaming shows to watch before giving some podcast shout-outs.

Also, don't forget, while the pandemic has many still on lockdown, we are making all of our Patreon content free to everyone. It's our way of trying to give you a little laughter and some distraction from the anxiety of the day.

This is the "pilot" episode (we think) of our new format, which we are calling The Wilder Ride Listeners Lounge. We decided to try it out without a guest and if all goes well, we look to add someone new to the line-up each week. The goal is to keep it to as close to an hour for each episode. Today we spent a few minutes chatting about our lives since the last recording. We then jumped into some odd or funny news stories before launching into movies and shows we've watched. We wrap with a few podcast shout outs. Check it out and let us know what you think.

This year was our 5th year to bring a live Halloween show to life on WBHF, AM 1450 and FM 100.3. The radio station also broadcasts over the internet via the TuneIn Radio app or by visiting the website WBHFRadio.org and clicking on the Listen Live button. Hosts Alan Sanders, Walt Murray and BK discussed their favorite Halloween candy and which ones are the worst. They also talked about their top scariest movies, top horror-comedy films and their favorite monsters.

We had two different guest segments mid-way through the evening. Lezlie Sawyer joined in by phone to chat about her acting career and some of her recent cosplay work as Elvira, Mistress of the Night. Then we were joined by author, JW Webb. Though his primary work is in the realm of fantasy, he also has a haunted short called, The Haven. A Brit by birth, he shared his thoughts on scary movies and his experiences in foggy weather. The evening wrapped with a discussion over which actors have played Dracula the best and which have been the worst.
