Merry Christmas! "Elcott The Next Step" takes it to Palm Springs for "the immersion" (he's in a hot tub) on what you call Christmas and what Elcott calls "the Day of Expectation." Episode 280 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.

Big night with Bobbie Dooley explaining her initial decision to boot a homeowner for lying about acting in porn films, in a sub-genre called "she/he hee hee" (shemale comedies) and "he/she wee wee" (shemale water sports) The accused actresses husband, Duvay Bootman, comes on the program to defend his wife... Raj Feneen and his son Todd called in to talk about their love of Dickensian-style Christmas, the Charles Dickens vision of Christmas. Raj even laughed about the time his son heard "Rama Lama Ding Dong" on the radio and thought it was about Ramadan... Vernon Dozier discusses his new series "Pussy Hits of the Week" where he talks about seemingly brutal hits that weren't brutal at all. This week, the Brandon Browner hit on Wes Welker from 2012.

Phil and the panel reviewed the Chris Christie/New Jersey/bridge problem and brought on Art Griego and Herb Sewell to discuss it but Herb's past as a despicable felon and his lack of repsect for Art got both of them bown off the air early. Then came Dr. Jim Sadler fielding calls on DNA and how mans lineage is traced to east Africa. With this came incredulous calls from Austin Amarca ("No kidding?") and Bob Green ("I just joined an Aryan businessman's association. Can I get my money back?"). Phil ended the show playing "Walk Like A Man" by the Four Seasons. Margaret commented that it had better not be dedicated to Governor Christie because people would read it as "Waddle Like A Man" and that would be "in poor taste."

Phil discusses a large floating head found in New York harbor this week and in the process kicks Bud out of the studio when he starts making "head" jokes and then refers to Roberts "thick lips." Harvey Weirman weighed in on the early career of actor Edward Norton and his supposed discovery in New York by agent Shorty Weisback. Weirman got into what he said was Nortons ability to "reach out ajnd strangle anyone with one hand." Margaret also tries strangling Bud, not for the first time. Plus Karen Deauville calls in along with her brother-in-law Jerry to talk with Phil about actor Edward Norton and a "buzz" that Jerry said he saw in Parade magazine claiming Norton has enough strength in one hand to perform "the Vulcan pinch," similar to the so-called death grip used by the character Spock in Star Trek. Also Dr. Ron Tarner on the lunar eclipse and Doug Dannger too.
