Phil Hendrie, Author at The Phil Hendrie Show

I’m Tom Dovka, longtime radio consultant of a great many radio shows down through the years. One of the ways that I gained success was by hard work and good instincts. That’s why it sort of hurts a wee bit to see a guy like Hendrie get inducted up into the Radio Hall of Fame. All the time I consulted radio stations that Hendrie worked at, Hendrie never did what I said to do. I said “do the weather, then shut up and play another Creedence Clearwater Revival record.” And what do you think Hendrie did? He didn’t do what I told him to do, that’s what. So then I had him fired. And the next thing you know, Hendrie’s getting inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame. Even though he wouldn’t shut up and just play the records in the card file that me and my assistant Dixie put together for our client stations. So Hendrie goes into the Radio Hall of Fame …and I’m still parked near a freeway on-ramp with my cell phone in one hand and a patty melt from TOPS Char-Broiled in the other, trying to get business done and get them to do what I tell them to do! This whole business is going down the shitter because guys don’t do what I tell them to. And they go to the Radio Hall of Fame and I’m eating a sandwich and drinking out of a thermos, parked near a farm ditch, out on Highway 69! There, I said it.

Hello, I am Dr. Ed Elcott. The title to this “announcement” is actually how our program on Sunday mornings is often announced. I say “often” because, truth be told, to replace my well publicized sex addiction. I’ve taken to imbibing alcohol a bit too liberally. In plain English, by Sunday morning, I am “tanked“ to use a colloquialism, a word I suppose I shouldn’t use as it reveals too much, this being my first published piece on the Phil Hendrie website. But I thought I would “come clean“ and let you know why, by Sunday morning my hangover is so severe I forget words, phrases, and Elcotta terminology.
I am only joking with you. I am stone, cold sober and in complete grasp of my faculties and the Elcotta. I stated what I stated because I know arbuckles are about trying to defrock me or, as we say, fondle my intentions. I do say with complete clarity of mind that you should join us Sunday mornings here on the Phil Hendrie website and elsewhere for our Elcott The Next Step lectures. We take extra precaution so that we’re not philosophically fingered or spiritually “played with” so please forgive the intro to this essay, but I had to be sure, all Ella’s was sniffed. If you’re having a hard time understanding this announcement then perhaps Elcott The Next Step is not for you as it takes off, cruises and then crashes just over where your brain is. These terms are understood by Elcattans and their initiates and novitiates. Others sit there, as we say in Elcott, smelling the fumes of their own confusion. I love me. I no take drugs no more, signed Dr. Elcott otherwise known as The Me
