A lot of people think that because I’m married to Bobbie Dooley, I don’t have opinions of my own and I don’t have the guts to express them anyway even if I did. Because I don’t have many opinions of my own but I do feel very strongly about one thing. I wrangled a job as a DJ at The Reptile, a new dance club in Perner, one town over from Corona. And I even picked out my DJ name, DJ Stee D and I was gonna play all the big jams of the day. I got me ACRAZE, I got me Don’t Be Shy by Tiesto, all of it. I got it all on my laptop with Thump and Mackie gear. I mean I had it going on and I had a new pair of balloon pants with the tricolored derby, stilt sandals and thong tuxedo. There it is. And then what do you think happened?
Bobbie calls me up and asks me what all the stuff was jammed into the family room/veranda and I told her about me DJing at The Reptile and she goes, oh you can’t do that. You have to carry the Western Estates Homeowners Association flag in before I make my entrance at the HOA meeting and then hit play on the boom box for “Hail To The Chief.” You gotta do it every Friday night. And I told her that she could get Dylan or Seth to do it, our oldest sons, and she goes oh no that’s date night and they need to be out, socializing and going out with girls to connect with their fathers in business and all that horse …..horse droppings. And I lost it and said she looked like a full dork parading in to “Hail To The Chief” and I felt like her little slob leading her in and I admit I was angry.
Well, she went number two all over my dream. And number one. She’s cut me off and ordered me off of Twitter and now Fridays will be me, as usual, walking into the HOA meeting carrying the HOA flag and looking like her punk. And now I don’t even have Twitter to go to and complain. Stay tuned.

Frank Grey here. Whirlwind trip to my old stomping grounds of Miami with the Hendrie Show. Talked with Deke Geberini, a guy I’d been in the club business with back in the day. It was propped up near a swimming pool with a drink I never saw it touch in the hour and a half we talked. Also saw Load Wilson, the Miami Dolphin, one of the few left from the whatever team that was that didn’t lose any. Games that is. Load’s living in Sweet Pine now, down near Avocado City, one of these high-end (pardon my language) retirement communities. While I was doing all of this, Margaret was on the phone screaming it’s guts loose at Orson Hormel at Dicklin Syndicate for screwing something up having to do with it’s column “A Little Bird Told Me.” Bottom line is, we’re back in California, flew out late last night about half past 8. Things here are just as weird as they are in Florida, if not weirder, but there’s my table at Ted’s of Beverly Hills, my favorite restaurant and the guys I play cards with, Nuts Westerly and it’s brother Dates, tv producers. (yea, that’s the gag, Nuts and Dates and if you don’t have Nuts you don’t have Dates. Get it?)

This been a quick trip to Florida on account Kirby boy, Jackies dog, is old and we thought we’d have to baby sit him..or I mean, Mr Hendrie would have to baby sit him because Jackie had jury duty but then when she got there the way they pick juries made it so that Jackie didn’t have to stay and everyone including Jackie got to go home and so this past week we’ve been eating ice cream, or I mean I’ve been eating ice cream and hanging out on Ft Lauderdale Beach

Ed Elcott, the great-great-great grandson of Heavener Elcott, whose writings were foundational to the spiritual/religious/self-help system that came to be known as ELCOTT The Next Step or ETNS, was at a crossroads. Having left school at the age of 20, he made his way to California to try his hand at acting in movies or television. He fell into working in the adult film business where he, coincidentally, made the acquaintance of one “Madeline Brickhouse,” an actor he worked with in adult films and who later became known as Erica Dorton, the principal of a California middle school and a major figure in other episodes of the Phil Hendrie Show. Young Ed Elcott, by his description, worked in adults films sporadically and “lived in and ate out of dumpsters” for a period of time until it became apparent to him that acting either in the legitimate or pornographic industry wasn’t going to be a viable living. He made his way back to Wampaugh, New York, reenrolled in the university, took some comparative religion classes, reread the nearly incomprehensible scribblings of his distant relative Heavener Elcott and began work on reconstituting what Heavener Elcott said would be “my big thick one,” or the basic liturgical text of ETNS. Ed called it “The Big Thick One” and turned it over to some golf buddies who had expressed interest in starting a religion as a way of putting to use techniques learned at a sales seminar. By this point Ed had fallen back into abusing drugs and lost touch until he rehabbed 2 years later. The friends had revitalized ETNS with the help of Ed’s writings, named themselves OverLords, designated Ed as a “priestly,” gave him the title of “Doctor” and set about expanding the reach of ETNS beyond New York state, with Ed being their chief proselytizer. More coming up.

Yes, our long-standing… no one really remembers how long…Friday night chat has come to an end. Holding forth for the last several years, first at 9pm Pacific and then 7pm, the chat was the community meeting for many a hardcore Phil Hendrie Show fan. It took many forms, originated both in studio and remote from places north and south of the border and featured many a weird moment, like the lighter exploding as Phil sat fireside 3 years ago. The chat has run its course and we’re going to focus going forward on show content that we think people primarily come to the website for.
Thanks to all, not the least of whom is Jeff Baker who originated and kept our weekly BSP map that tracked who was jumping online with us week to week and from where. The BSP map remains and will serve us going forward in other ways. Thank you all again for being there and supporting the Phil Hendrie Show.

In the late sixties, Margaret came to California with dreams of being an actress. She got a producer’s call back for an audition as Audra in “The Big Valley” but Linda Evans got the job. She landed the part of Kat in a CBS pilot called “Bunkhouse” but the show wasn’t picked up. However, one of the producers was Frank Grey. They met, played a game of leap frog in Frank’s office and the rest is “history.”

There was some confusion Friday night. This box here is not linked to anything. This box is simply our newsfeed that PROMOTES what we are doing but doesn’t necessarily link to it. For links to the stuff we do, scroll down and take note of the boxes or “tiles” as they might be called. Those things…they link to our stuff. The daily show, the chat (for as long as it lasts) the Saturday Cinema (for as long as toy lasts) and so forth. And of course, everything in the menu, which would be a scroll UP, not down, I think. All that jazz you can click on. But this box? Its just for news

This Bud Dickman and the chat is back to it’s regular place, here at the website, 7 pm Pacific and 10 pm Atlantis time or Eastern time I think. I mean, you should probably check and see what it is in Alaska and Hawaii too. And Arizona is different too.

Yes, a subscription to the Phil Hendrie Show website…this one…brings a feeling of renewed faith and purpose the likes of which your ass hasn’t seen in quite some time. 50,000 plus hours of radio and digital content, pre-shows, home movies, TV pilots…friend, it never ends. The Phil Hendrie Show website… the greatest value online other than porn.
