I'm loving these reports. During the sad period when I attended HS in Florida, one of the things that got me through was local horror host Dr. Paul Bearer. Turns out he was the longest tenured such host in the US (22 years)!
Glad I found this Substack. These post are terrific. Dr. Shock was our guy in the 70s in south Jersey. I had the Evil stunt cycle too! Used to launch him off the top of the stairs outside my sister’s bedroom. Like Evil at Ceaser’s Palace, he never quite made it.
I still watch Svegoolie often, on Saturday nights at 8 pm, here in NJ. And I had the Evel stunt cycle when I was a kid. Crashed as much as EK did.
That's awesome. I need to check out Svengoolie's show, especially when Joe Bob is off season.

Oh wow! Dr. Paul Bearer is new to me... but that's a seriously impressive record.
Your personal anecdotes are great Duane.
Thank you so much, Chad!
Thank YOU! Just love your writing and work in general.

Thanks so much, Pat. And yes, I remember hearing about Dr. Shock!
