Dick & Hammer

Normally, that is not a good combination. But, in this case it does make for some great talk radio.

If you put enough tin foil on your antenna and hold your head just right you can pick up Rational Radio 1360AM KMNY. It's sort of a cross between the old Live 105 and Air America formats. That's where you'll find Big Dick Hunter and his Wild Ass Circus.

BDH has had to tone it down just a tad and rename it The Richard Hunter Show. But he has added an old familiar sidekick, Boyd's own Greg "The Hammer" Williams. I listened to part of the show this week. Say what you will about Greggo and his personal problems, he makes great radio.

This is his last, last chance. He was lucky enough to have a true friend like BDH that would give him another shot. Hopefully BDH can help Greggo thru his drug problems. Like Ted Nugent, Richard Hunter is and always has been clean and sober. His lifestyle views are not the norm as well. Perhaps he can show Greggo how to live a happy life without chemicals.

So far, the show sounds excellent. They have chemistry and an open forum. It's very entertaining. It reminds you of the early days of "The Hardline" without the nasal whining of Mike Rhyner. Instead of revolving around sports, it revolves around current events. The 4-6pm show flys by and leaves you wanting more. BDH shows his usual skills at evoking deep thoughts and opinions from listeners and Greggo... well he's Greggo with that Greggo wit and wisdom. If you'd like to hear more from him than whatever contractually obligated drops they are playing to death at The Ticket, you need to tune in.

Let's hope this finally is the turning point for The Hammer. If not you can say you were listening the day that he melted down again.

Also landing at KMNY are Live 105 refugees Pugs & Kelly. They can be heard weekday afternoons from 1-4pm leading into The Richard Hunter Show.

In case you're not able to properly configure your tin foil but you'd still like to listen to something besides sports, news or right wing politics, you can stream KMNY live at www.RationalRadio.org
