Radio For Patriots By Patriots Show Log For Friday August 19, 2011

Last nights show featured the great Ted Bell from Ted’s of Beverly Hills. Great? Well he cried and complained his way through an hour that was supposed to be about why he buys gold….you know, the gold he uses to build statues of himself?

                    See anything you like?

Next up we had Marylyn Donnelly, pre-surgical transexual, who realized half way through her visit with us her reason for coming on the show was bullshit….You just gotta listen…

Phil In The News: The Kevin Pollak Chat Show

AL PETERSON – NTS ONLINE

Pollak Gets Inside Phil Hendrie’s Head

In a recent interview with actor Kevin Pollak on his weekly streaming Chat Show, Talk Radio Network syndicated host and KFI/Los Angeles weekender Phil Hendrie revealed, among other tidbits, how he thinks his unorthodox show fits into the Talk radio landscape. “I’m the tie-dye department of the tuxedo shop,” he told Pollak. “If Rush [Limbaugh] and Howard [Stern] are Corvettes, I’m an off-road vehicle.” Hendrie also gives up just which family member in his life inspired one of his radio show’s most beloved characters, the infamous “Bobbie Dooley,” and reveals the name of the Hollywood heavyweight who recently dubbed him “a F*$#-ing genius!” Check out Pollak’s full interview with Hendrie (starting @ around the 24:50 mark) HERE.

 JOCKLINE/MORNING MOUTH

Phil Hendrie Gets Up Close and Personal with Kevin Pollak Actor Kevin Pollak invited his fellow actor and TRN/KFI-AM Los Angeles radio personality, Phil Hendrie, to be a guest on “Kevin Pollak’s Chat Show.” The intimate setting comprised of a black back drop and the two gentlemen sitting across each other at a round table lent a dramatic yet comfortable environment in which Hendrie opened up unlike ever before in the two-and-a-half hour long interview. When asked who Hendrie derives inspiration from, he said Laurel and Hardy, Lenny Bruce, Jonathan Winters and most telling, Jackie Gleason. Hendrie said of Gleason, “He was my Dad, a big man who would come through the door, ebullient and happy one night and the polar opposite the next…Gleason made anger and strife and the things happening in my home funny…Impotent anger makes me laugh my ass off!” Hendrie also revealed that the “Mmm, hmmming” Bobbie Dooley was inspired by his Mom. Hendrie says Dooley is, “a perfect dismissive suburban woman who is also a sociopath, not that my mom was a sociopath.” Pollak also told Hendrie about his friends who are long time fans of Hendrie such as Garry Shandling who has come by to watch Hendrie live in studio, as well as Larry David who said after seeing him at the Aspen Comedy Festival, “He’s a f**king genius.” Pollak asked Hendrie how his show fits in radio. Hendrie said, “I’m in the tie-dye department of the tuxedo shop…If Rush and Howard are Corvettes, I’m an off-road vehicle.”   READ MORE

Phil Hendrie Visits ‘Kevin Pollak’s Chat Show’

August 17, 2011 at 4:34 AM (PT)

Pollak and Hendrie

TALK RADIO NETWORK and CLEAR CHANNEL Talk KFI-A/LOS ANGELES host PHIL HENDRIE was a guest on actor KEVIN POLLAK’s internet video talk show this week.

The wide-ranging interview on “KEVIN POLLAK’S CHAT SHOW” included discussions of HENDRIE’s inspirations (LAUREL AND HARDY, LENNY BRUCE, JONATHAN WINTERS, and JACKIE GLEASON, of whom HENDRIE said, “He was my Dad, a big man who would come through the door, ebullient and happy one night and the polar opposite the next…. Impotent anger makes me laugh my ass off!”), the inspiration for his characters (“Bobbie Dooley” was patterned, he said, after his mother), and his show’s place in the radio business (“I’m in the tie-dye department of the tuxedo shop…If RUSH and HOWARD are Corvettes, I’m an off-road vehicle”).

POLLAK told HENDRIE, “Damn you for doing something no one else is doing, no one else ever or has done.  Damn you for being original.  You’re going to have to pay a price forever for being one of a kind.”

Why I Like Gold In These Economic Times

I’m Ted Bell…. When I say those words they are like gold. They are a kind of currency for me in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, the LA metro, Southern California, California, the USA, North America and eventually then, after all of that, the film industry. But not eveyone is Ted Bell. Not everyone need only say their name and the ears of movers, shakers and candlestick makers prick up. (Memo to Arlene: Lose the “prick up” phrase. Sounds like I’m talking about popping one in the bone yard just because I’m famous) Some need a more traditional means of barter. I like gold. I’m didn’t want to bore you with the cumbersome economic trivia that goes into making this decision but then Al Waddell, (pronounced wa-DELL) my business associate of some thirty years and our bookkeeper at Ted’s of Beverly Hills told me it would be a good idea….Can I back up? He suggested. I’d rather not give the impression anyone tells me to do anything. So he suggested. He suggested. K?

                                   I’m Ted Bell

The reason why I like gold as an investment (and again while Al doesn’t tell me to do anything he also suggested I invest in gold but the final call is mine) is because it is solid, hard currency and is valuable. Paper, obviously burns, becomes wrinkled, gets lost, can be torn in half and becomes unusable. Anyone who’s tried to pump a lousy dollar bill into a soft drink machine at the height of the summer’s heat knows what I mean. Gold on the other hand is solid and isn’t going anywhere. Try losing a gold bar. I’d like to meet the soft drink machine that’s going to spit an American Gold Eagle back at me. See what I mean? Now I know many people want to know why, in fancy, economic, stock market currency blah-blah-blah terms I’m investing in gold. To that I say it’s really none of their business because I want to keep my business edge. But I will tell you some of the things I’ve done with gold that no one else has done with gold to show you I know what time it is out here on the street. Okay? So listen up.

                                   Piece of shit

I have had a gold statue of me and my family made and it is right out in front of our house in Beverly Hills. Why? Because the Saudis that parked here for a number of years with those statues and that house they painted some unnatural, Arabian color which sat out on Sunset insulted me as a Western Man who has the common decency to wear shoes and drive a car. (Yes, people that ride camels are FUNNY. See? FUN-nee!) So I’ve had a gold statue made. I also have gold patio furniture. I commissioned a gold toaster and gold kitchenware. You follow? I have purchsed a gold Buddha statue from a dealer in the Far East and it’s going out near the kids water-slide so that just before they hit the water they look up and see a gold, laughing Buddha looking them up and down and they’re reminded of who is hosting their fun and frivolity. Me. (Memo to Al: What if they think Buddha is the reason they’re having fun? Goddammit) And finally I’m having a car made for myself first (and then another for Marcy if I like mine) out of solid gold. G-O-L-D. A gold BMW convertible.  All gold. I am told the vehicle will weigh around 12,000 pounds and could sink any ship transporting it from Germany. Ask me if I care. No one else in this town will have one except me. So I don’t care if Godzilla rises up near Catalina and drowns every Christian soul within walking distance (Godzilla walking distance) I’ll have my gold BMW! I’m so distracted now by the thought of the gold car that I’m bored with this blog. Fuck this. Pardon my language. Come on into Ted’s and I’ll make it up to you with a drink or a platter of something.

                       On order…solid gold
