THE BAX PAGE CAFE
By Steve Baxley 
Producer/Creator/Host Last Call Cafe


Welcome 2014 
Welcome new strength and control

Well the show continues to break news and make news, and grab some great guests
recently we had Wrestler Zach Gowen on the show and it was among our top 10 best shows ever in our history!

From there we have continued to be as freaking unpredictable and untamed , I feel more alive than ever , and the friends I have as my co-hosts are fantastic ,fun, creative and outrageous.

we get some great callers and continue to create some great talk, we have also included a few great bits from the FOX SPORTS 1 SCOREBOARD and our final thoughts

The show gave birth to as you know to a sister show "JAY "THE BRAIN" MANN presents Wrestle-Anime Hut" and that show has grown into a Toonami pre-show 
that maybe will get a video edition, as I have a few ideas bubbling in my head about 
maybe expanding both shows to add a podcast that will have a video simulcast.

Coming in April, something never done in our history , since we will be at SHUTO- CON in Lansing, we are planning an unprecedented experiment , doing BOTH shows LIVE on location at the con!!!

Should be fun !

Well, not much left to say but thank you :-) and there WILL be more to come !

WE GROUP THINGS IN A NUTSHELL

What a classic few months for our show! we have been on fire with some great guests 
from wrestlers to some future talent.
So far the show STILL is a work in progress, weve tweaked it to be a sports and entertainment fiesta with no format  and it works!

Now for the other show we do, the wrestle-anime hut, I gave full control of the show to my 
co-host and good pal Jay "The Brain" Mann, and he has come on to his own as heel host on my show,to being the best and most outrageously funny and creative host with his own show.

I know i've not updated this in a while but things are really working now and for the future I can see a pod coming soon .

Me and Jay continue to be the best wrestling commentators for the fans as we keep doing the most entertaining commentary . who knows we may get a hosting gig from the promoter soon.

April 2014 I attend my first SHUTO-CON at Lansing Center, dressed as either "The Master" ,"The 4th Doctor" or I might go as death from "Soul Eater" ..hmmm that might be as fun!!

The next few weeks are going to be packed as the new car (KIA SPORTAGE) gets fixed up for the new year.

Later gator , and merry christmas

Three Times a Delay 

Well, had a fun fiesta of a internet radio show, good guests and breaking news and opinion ,we have extended to a 15 minute show that is all about wrestling and Anime, which is going very well also , thanks to the 300 who are listening in 

Great comments as well, plus we have big surprises as we continue to grow .

Recently had two reps from Michigan Pro Wrestling Alliance ,not a bad interview and they also enjoyed the kaos that ensued. 

I'll make sure to fill in the blanks later as I play catch up

If it has libby,libby,libby on the label..

Has it been a couple of weeks ??  sorry i've been a bit buzy getting guests for the 
big broadcast.

Of course we broke a couple of stories those 2 weeks, in the media we were the first to announce that Detroit's adult contemporary station WMGC 105.1 would flip to FM Sports, and I still say that 1130 WDFN will switch to an all news/talk format  very soon.

We also broke news that Jackson,Michigan would be the seed for a new women wrestling promotion, and yes we prep for the big event at Kooters campground  on race weekend should be fun.

The Anime community continues to grow , so our new show "The Wrestle-Anime Hut" was born , 15 minutes of wrestling and anime news , very good  stuff

The Last Call Cafe never goes into politics, we are more a fun show, and its a show I wanted to do for a long time and now we are going on 8 years and growing strong!

I can say that this fall TV season is going to be the most interesting if not entertaining in years , CBS has some of the best as we begin the last chapter of "HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER", while ABC will take second , Univision will take 3rd , Fox 4th ,and NBC ..crap!

Now I hear you saying "wait a minute ..UNIVISION?? thats a spanish network" yep, and for the past few months the spanish language network has broken through the barrier of the typical networks and solidified itsself as a force for viewers.

Are the folks at the total worldwide leader in sports network NOW beginning to get worried .. you bet yer ass they are, with the countdown to SPEED transforming into FOX SPORTS 1 , at first ESPN  looked at it as nothing but a clone, but now ..they gotta be shaking at what FS has done , from securing NASCAR Sprint and the first half of NATIONWIDE to getting MLB and grabbing  some other  sports properties ..ESPN has even had to do the impossible ..RE-HIRE KEITH OLBERMAN but for E2 and not the big boys ..good luck !
FOX SPORTS1 will get its sister network up and going as FUELtv transforms into FS2  (we also broke that story on the L2C) that will mainly be for the extreme sports ... to say ESPN isnt scared...OHHHH THEY ARE !! cant wait to see FOX NEWS LIVE at 11 with Jay and Dan !

Well, that be 2 weeks of good wackiness ..

Later......BANG!

Back From the computer dead 

For two shows we had a couple of great guests from a rock tour that stopped by Jackson, Sicktanick and kaos  stopped by as did the local promoter Mike Sparks to promote the hell out of the "CHILDREN OF THE GRAVE TOUR" great stuff.

This is what happens when you put out the word about a radio show thats original,follows no format, and isnt a carbon copy of some other radio show !  and the Last Call Cafe is the type of show I want to do , interviews , music, sports, and fun calls. best of all NO POLITICS! 
I wanted to do that in Toldeo, nope! had to be a ripoff of two radio shows..I hated it! 

But for every caller we have on friday, for every guest we have on friday, I am happy and damn proud to have a show I can call my own for 7 years , and along with two great friends  to join in, its a show that deserves the mega props its gotten..

This fridays show we will have SickTanick  & friend talk about the tour , plus the usual stuff including "THE AFTERGLOOOOOW"  


Sad to hear that after 40 plus years WWOR cancelled its 10pm news, also sad to note that it could cost the station its license as it no longer covers NJ. its replacement is done in trenton, but a production of  FOX TVs Philly Station. we'll see how long THIS lasts, already 2 NJ senators are calling for the FCC to revoke WWORs license.

A closing/opening date has been announced as Current TV says good bye and AL JAZERRA AMERICA says hello on August 24th.

It's beginning to look like MSNBC has become OFFICIALLY redundant, as it has lost what little viewers they had to FOX NEWS,and still cant seem to figure out that viewers want fair and balanced news and no more unbiased one sided opinion shows. maybe the new NBC NEWS president can right the ship , or just end the agony and shut it down !


talk to ya after the show
