The History Of The Phil Hendrie Show

Like anything of real value in this world, the Phil hendrie Show has had to contend with the changing nature of our business and media in general in keeping track of, collecting, organizing and presenting material from the show. The history-making nature of our show means that it is controversial and not easy to place in the contemporary radio world. As the result of all of this, the show has bounced about like a kids football kicked into a neighbors yard. This site begins the process of properly organizing, logging and formatting The Phil Hendrie Show archived material. And it continues to introduce media innovation where its worthy and applicable. For our many long time fans, we appreciate you staying with us. For our new fans, you truly have no idea how much material there is here. Like all good interactive media, it’s a work in progress…..

KMBZ, Kansas City

These racists claim they have to air a political ad with the word ‘coon’ in it because their “hands are tied.” They must be hard up for cash at that toilet because they know and I know if they lodged a complaint themselves with the FCC they’d have a far better case than laying down and taking it with a smile and a giggle…  From RBR:
Missouri has a US Senate seat up for grabs this year, and Entercom’s KMBZ-AM in Kansas City is running ads from a legally-qualified candidate who is in the mix as a write-in candidate. The ads are seen racist and anti-Semetic, but the station says it is legally bound to run them. The ads have also been aired on other stations in other Missouri media markets.

The ads are coming from Glenn Miller, a man described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a white supremacist, according to an article posted at KansasCity.com.

KMBZ is running a disclaimer with Miller’s material to distance itself from it – although according to the rules it can neither support nor denounce it in this manner.

Communications attorney David Oxenford noted that the ruling that allows Miller to get on the air is necessary to make sure that politically unpopular viewpoints are allowed on the air. He noted that in this case, it may seem like a “bad outcome” but that in the big picture, the rule is necessary to encourage ‘diverse political speech.”  So to the black listners to KMBZ, airing the word “coon” in the big picture “is necessary.”

The Tragedy That Is Facebook Part Two

Nothing says “Hi, I’m ugly” quite like a profile pic from high school. Or a profile pic of an animal, maybe one’s dog or cat. Or of a sunset or of some strange, far eastern symbol or a cartoon character. It’s true that Facebook is not the meat market MySpace is (or was) but the fact is people are there to meet other people. Naturally, there are people on Facebook not interested in “hooking up.” They may be more inventive or eclectic in terms of their profile pictures as a result. But the ones that are there looking for the warmth of human touch had best not show a face to the world that’s faceless. Sorry. A person’s favorite tree or pet donkey are no substitute for the person themself, if you’ll pardon the use of the term “donkey.” When we fail to to let people see us physically we’re screaming from the highest rooftop “I don’t like the way I look so be warned.” Does that mean 300 pounds, buck teeth, honkin’ nose? What does it mean? Might as well find the nicest picture you have of yourself and slap it up there. Trust me. It’s way better than the picture of that mouse in a sombrero that you thought was a hilarious.

Show Log, Monday March 29

Bob Green weighed in tonight on candy and it’s addictive nature when it comes to children…He prohibits selling candy to kids, will take it out of their hands and put it back and even brings his obese son to the store on Saturdays to sit on a stool with a sign around his neck reading: “Your kid will turn into this if he eats too much.”
General Gaylon Shaw said Michelle Bachmann saved him fom the bottle…….but when he found out she was married he had, what they call, a slip. He poured a glass full of Knob Creek in his kitchen one night and cried himself to sleep…..but then he crawled back out of the bottle and supported Ms. Bachmann without the sexual component. He claims that Bachmann, not Sarah Palin, is the true shining light of the conservative movement and that those people that went to see Palin this weekend in Nevada are knuckleheads…….or so he says….

David G. Hall thought Phil was being a tad racist with his remarks regarding Japanese anime so he devised a system triggered the song “Sukiyaki” if Phil was getting too racial about the Japanese..
