Bill Hassinger and Kip Pernell take on choppy waters and inbreds to fish Lake Tavertine, a place discovered by Bill's great grandfather just before he dropped dead.

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 181 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.

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 180 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.

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 179 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.

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 178 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.

Today's podcast had Jeff Dowdder attempting to explain the origins of American music while watching a freeway chase on TV and directing Toby Beau on what kind of bacon he wants for breakfast... Father James McQuarters talked about pre-destination and whether Phil's comfort level on stage means he was "destined" to be there rather than radio. The discussion then got around to the topic of "pa-GAN" worship... Episode 177 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.

The Saturday BSP-Only show! Bobbie Dooley joins us to discuss the upcoming Summertacular, an annual celebration of all things summer. She also discusses her recent celebrity interview with Dr. Drew; naturally, this upsets Margaret, and the two get into a heated exchange.

Phil and the gang had Dean Wheeler on, live from the "Eggs, Pork, and You" in Palos Verdes to talk about his alleged killing of Wiff Bailey, the Elcott tracker that attached tracking wires to Emerelda's v*****. Dean claims that Bailey is alive and well and that Elcott-The Next Step is a big joke concocted by Ed Elcott for his private amusement. Phil and the guys also did a post-mortem on the Improv show, with Phil revealing that Pasor Rennick and Vernon Dozier will be worked into the Irvine show. Episode 176 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.
