Margaret was bitching about how she didn't get her VIP pass to Phil's show at the Hollywood Improv as quickly as some of our winners get their coffee mugs, even one of the guys who won this morning. And they discussed the controversial nature of the VIP giveaway this morning...(listen to the pre-show) Chris Norton joined the program to talk about a new restaurant he's opening, based on Tex-Mex cuisine. Only he calls it Mex-Tex or "Mess-Tess." The restaurant will feature Wi-Fi, enabling patrons to "sext" each other (send sexual texts). Hence the name Sext-Tex. Or as Chris calls it "Sexx-Tess." Whatever. Don Berman was afforded another appearance on the show this morning due to technical malfunctions yesterday morning. What Don chose to talk about was the sale of the Clippers for 2 billion, and of course, carved it up and wound up hanging up on Phil. Did we use the word 'up' enough? Episode 132 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.

The Amity Afflictions's song "Pittsburgh" prompts a discussion about "how a guy can sing like that and not have a sore throat." Then Phil flipped out on a comment made by Gloria Allred to the effect that the Santa Barbara shooter was fueled by "mental illness created by male chauvinism." Bud and Margaret both wanted to run a "dirty word alert" because of the language Phil was using. But it was too late. Phil talked about how jive a lot of men's rights groups are... Margaret and General Shaw argued about the phrase "up the butt" and how it relates to the phrase "up an ass." Steve Bosell discussed Google's lack of diversity in their hiring and how that's a light at the end of the tunnel that Steve and other men live in as Google gets all the social love. Don Berman was on as a guest but his phone blew up... Episode 131 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.

Margaret started the show with another suspicious addition to the Filth File. "If someone says 'go gargle' and it leaves the opportunity for a filthy addendum as in 'go gargle with you-know-what..'" General Shaw gets jealous of Margaret's attention toward Geraldo Rivera. "That guy Rivera looks like some chump running a coffee bar, looks like a Mustache Pete." Phil brought on Dean Wheeler who claimed to be able to smile through anything, referencing what he and Phil thought were "odious comments" by Joe the Plumber. In fact Dean smiled his way through his second wife sleeping with a friend of his and that guy adopting "the Chinese twins." Episode 130 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.

General Shaw wanted to know what happened to the "Allman Skynyrd" band. Phil talked about driving his car into a ditch... Art Griego returns to kick around the notion that the pilot of Malaysia 370 had his head "wedged." Ran out of gas, wrong direction, plane crashes in a part of the world no one knows anything about.... Episode 129 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.

Phil and the gang talk about war documentaries on this Memorial Day with Justin McElroy and Steve Bosell. Bosell wonders why there isn't any "footage" of the Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War and Justin talks about producing a "re-enactment" of World War 1 using the students of LA Canyon High School including "Billy Bobson who plays Archduke 'Ferdninand' because he's fat and owns a fake mustache." Episode 128 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.

Phil and the gang talked about Mark Cuban's comments concerning his bigotry toward "black kids in hoodies." The show started of with Iggy Azalea's "Work" and Margaret wanted to know if Ms. Azalea was white. When told she was, Margaret got confused. The crew mentioned that even Phil would look scary at night wearing a hoodie. "Phil you'd look like a large lumbering thing in the night," Margaret said. By the way we will have a show Memorial Day! Episode 127 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.

The morning starts with Phil bagging on Arbitron, the traditional rating service for radio, because of what he calls their faulty methodology and fraud-like control it has had over the industry. Phil mentioned Sean Hannity's criticism of audience measurement without being able to talk about Arbitron because the money he's made has backed up into brain "like that one guy had semen backed up into his brain in Resevoir Dogs," said Bud. Margaret Grey reveals that if she neck and finger wiggles too much her neck and voice box get paralyzed... Jack Armstrong, liberal blogger, joined the program to discuss countering the right wing climate deniers but hung up with a couple of minutes because Phil laughed at something he said... Speaking of that, Don Berman talked about "his friend Pat Sajak" and Sajak's tweet about "global warming alarmists." Don respects Pat but thinks "he may have dived into an empty swimming pool at some point in his life." Episode 126 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.

Short show today as Phil travels to the legendary ville of Tarzana for tax man talks. General Shaw wept as he talked about putting his mother in a nursing facility. The General chose the place that had the best Sunday ice cream social for the old folks. A place that had the old folks bumping into each other eating ice cream was rejected. The General also talked about the wool jock straps his mother used to knit him. Later discussions with Larry Grover about the Tea Party had General Shaw so pissed off he traveled to Larry's house disguised as a pizza delivery man and beat the shit out of him! Episode 125 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.
