Ep. 6 WDEK weathered the Storm with Magnum PI and Bagelgher

We apologize for being out of touch last month, but we promise that this episode of WDEK will prove to have been worth your wait. Episode 7 is a super special edition of WDEK. We taped the show outside in front of a live audience on the eve of Hurricane Sandy, a few days before Halloween on the Brooklyn deck of our good friend Stephen Vesecky. Stephen shared a Johann Wolfgang von Goethe scary story while ominous sounds of the city howl behind him, literally. Our special guests were the sexy Magnum PI and the one and only Bagelgher. Listening to their tales of fright and horror will make you shake and shiver. Christian finished up his run of shows for the play, Blacken the Bubble. Shonali's gym teacher needs advice about flights to Siberia. Have you heard Hot Cheetos and Takis? Shonali would like to touch Magnum's stache. Christian doesn't like being called a little girl. The Bagelgher doesn't like rap videos. Must see visuals are attached: Bagelgher's Bagelmatic and Bagel Gun. We were quite out of control and feel lucky to have enjoyed such a wonderful afternoon on what would be the eve of a devastating hurricane that ripped apart our city. For those of you that are still affected by Hurricane Sandy, our thoughts are with you and we hope that those of you that can help, contribute time and/or money to the relief efforts going on throughout our city. Special thanks goes to Tory Harris, Matt Carlin, Justin Joseph Hall, Ricardo Rosario and our live audience. Ya'll are the best!
