Episode #178: The New Phil Hendrie Show

The new online YouTube fad of “Fire Challenge” is discussed with Coach Vernon Dozier saying the only real way to prove yourself is to stand there and burn while reading the Gettysburg Address. Not light yourself on fire and then run and jump into a pool… The Ebola outbreak and the ways it can be transmitted was addressed by Dr. Jim Sadler. He was reluctant to at first though unless he was given his due as a doctor and therefore a member of the only profession that could help the human race with the disease. So he wanted some expressions of gratitude from the crew before he would answer questions…

Episode #179: The New Phil Hendrie Show

Phil got read the riot act by the crew and David G. Hall so he doesn’t go into the panel discussion he has Friday ready to rip people’s asses. Hall gave Phil a list of heavy-hitters in radio that he doesn’t want insulted, including Guy Gabidnik at Grab Bag Entertainment and Grey Gabnag at Gabnag Communications. Obviously this didn’t go well… The rest of the crew warned Phil not to screw things up for other people at the conference and to “act like a man and not dare say one bad thing about the business….” Friday Phil will be in Chicago joining WGN personality Turi Ryder on a panel at Don Anthony’s Morning Show Boot Camp.

Episode #180: The New Phil Hendrie Show

Today Phil kicked Margaret out of the studio till she gargled and got her voice ready to do the show. He said her pipes have been scratchy and harsh over the last few days. Ted Bell came on to discuss his wife’s relatives tearing it up at his restaurant and getting ready to spend next week at his house on “Poipu Point in Poipu on Poopoo Street.” Dr. Jim Sadler joined the show to once again discuss Ebola but got into another hassle about respect with the crew… Larry Grover came on to talk about the nation’s border security, but was so engrossed in listening to his favorite song “Return of the Mack” that Phil hung up on him.

Episode #181: The New Phil Hendrie Show

Phil’s traveling to Chicago for the 26th Annual Morning Show Boot Camp today, so we’ve cut a “Best Of” podcast for your enjoyment! Backstage Pass members will still have a new show this Saturday. General Gaylen Shaw opened the program with a plug for “boner pills”. Then Chris Norton joined the show 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. The show’s panel had Cliff King, horse trainer, back on to recap the Triple Crown and it turned into a cluster fuck as Cliff exhibited signs of serious dementia on the one hand and indications he was just goofing everyone with his “I’ll break a metal pole over my head and I’m 77 years old” act. Jay Santos of the Citizens Auxiliary Police talked about water safety this summer, especially in the ocean. The oceans power, says Jay, can “humiliate, exploit and manipulate a person. It can almost drown you and then toss you onto the shore like you’re nothing, with your pants pulled down and your butt in the breeze.” And the podcast wrapped up with Dr. Ed Elcott’s first guest hosting appearance. Listen to the creation of Elcott: The Next Step, as the good Dr. discusses things such as the “four essential miracles”.

Episode #183: The New Phil Hendrie Show

The crew talked about Robin Williams and what meds Phil is taking. They also had on Dr. Sadler who got very upset when he found out that he, a doctor and eminent man, was taking meds, but Dickman wasn’t… Frank Grey came on the show from his son The Delmonico’s hockey practice and proceeded to get that confused with a David Hockney exhibit Margaret dragged him to…

Episode #184: The New Phil Hendrie Show

Phil is taking a quick trip up to America’s hat (Canada), so we’ve cut together some “Best Of” clips for you to enjoy. The show started with the panel discussing the death penalty. Bill Cumming, or Brad Cummings (it changed within a few minutes), a friend of Margaret’s and an ally of hers in her fight against the death penalty, runs into a problem with his last name because he is also a producer of adult films and his kids school wants to kick them out. When Phil mentions the problem with his kids, Bill (or Brad) has a full emotional break down including tears, sobs, snot and rage….and then of course hung up… Jeff Dowdder was at Cratered Park in either Nebraska or Texas riding the roller coaster Doom Hurdle. He sounded like he was going to die but afterward said it was just “okay.” Don Parsley, the career conman who’s been caught up in some of the most bizarre swindles in American history guested this morning with a tale of kindness to a stranger gone all wrong. The crew had been discussing the story of toys being taken from the grave-site of an infant and Don mentioned being involved in taking a car that had been the property of a heart attack victim. Parsley said there’s a saying, “steal a car from a fat man and live seven years,” and he was going on that although everyone was confused as to what that meant; live only seven years or live seven more years… And Bobbie closes the show discussing her annual Springtacular.

Episode #185: The New Phil Hendrie Show

We’ve got more “Best Of” clips for you to enjoy on today’s podcast. Phil will return for our Saturday BSP-Only show, so go sign up for a Backstage Pass now! 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! Long time horse trainer Cliff King made an appearance this morning from Los Alamitos, CA and talked to Phil about “being 72 and walking the streets of Los Alamitos where everyone’s my friend.” To impress a young waitress at “Egg’s N’ Things” he starts bending the metal legs of chairs across his forehead… Phil and the crew talked with Frank Grey about a suit brought by the band Spirit against Led Zeppelin for, they claim, lifting a guitar line for “Stairway to Heaven” from one of their songs… Phil brought on Ted Bell to discuss the kind of beef he buys from this Bundy guy…..Ted says it’s pretty old and may be slightly diseased, but produces just the right kind of diarrhea that Ted’s customers can “savor…” Ted brought on his lunch chef Larry to explain. It all culminates in an outdoor campaign that trumpets the Ted Bell slogan “Ted’s of Beverly Hills…A River of Shit…” And Bobbie closes the podcast by giving a little backstory for the Cuntington sisters.

Episode #186: The New Phil Hendrie Show

Bobbie Dooley and her husband Steve had to scramble and do some image repair after they bought into the whole “KFC Throws Scarred Child Out Of Restaurant” story and led protests against KFC only to find out the whole thing was a hoax. Steve Dooley mentioned having to smoke medical marijuana because he gets “sweat itch” from his well-muscled thigh brushes against his testicles and Mr. Dooley said his “hang pretty low.” General Shaw went into a whole description of how to kill a pit bull with your bare hands. Not to be missed. Then it was “On The Water” or “Out In The Wild Blue” (the guys couldn’t remember) hosted by Bill Hassinger and Kip Pernell. Dr. Ed Elcott joined the show to talk to Father Guy Jack Rabinowitz, a member of the Elcott clergy, about the Diminishing, that which shrinks or shrivels the ego and Hop Singh, the Elcott method of prayer which, respectfully, treats God like a 19th century Chinese “houseboy.” Frank Grey was eating breakfast at Mrs Olsen’s and talking to Phil about a new soap opera he’s producing called “The Dull and the Dry” about a post-menopausal community of seniors.

Episode #187: The New Phil Hendrie Show

Phil recapped his trip to Canada and discussed his shoplifting ways as a youth. David G. Hall called in to rip Phil for his Chicago comments at the MSBC. Jay Santos discussed how he deals with shoplifting “punks,” his “judo throw,” and how he asks for consent before he goes down a kids “pant to feel around for stolen pork chops or what have you.”
