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. Margaret talked about the first time the Delmonico saw a Disney mascot at the Magic Kingdom. "One of the mascots danced up to him and scared hell out of him." She couldn't describe to Phil what it was, "it was one of those things that comes hopping up and it did a dance and it didn't speak." Jack Armstrong and Larry Grover debated the Gary Oldman story. Mr. Oldman made statements to Playboy magazine that some took to be anti-Jewish. Grover and Armstrong went at it in another typically uninformative and childish debate. Episode 149 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.

The show started with a fishing show called "On The Water" or "Out In The Wild Blue" (the guys couldn't remember) hosted by Bill Hassinger and Kip Pernell. Phil and Margaret argued about what belongs in the Filth File when it came up that the fishing show may be a regular part of the Phil Hendrie Show so that people can "feel the spray in their faces." Margaret felt "spray in their faces" was an immediate entrant. Phil disagreed. The crew again told Phil that his physical mannerisms while speaking on the air imitated a muscular or neurological disorder and could be disturbing to PhilTV viewers. 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. Phil and the crew discussed some housekeeping issues with the General taking up space in the refrigerator for his cottage cheese. Episode 148 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.

Today it was Dr. Ed Elcott talking 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." Episode 146 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.

Phil and the crew got into a foul and offensive discussion after jumping and beating up General Gaylen Shawn for commenting on "how many p****** Marilyn Hickey can fit in her m****." In his defense he did ask Phil to tune the TV away from The Word Network. Margaret had to walk a few off this morning... Phil then asked the crew why every morning the show started off with some dysfunctional, emotional fistfight. General Shaw then busted into his rendition of "Jive Turkey." Larry Grover was going to discuss the Iraq situation with Rudy Canoza until Gloria, his mother, called in from an "Elcott-The Next Step" seminar in Oakland and asked if he got the hard boiled eggs she made for his lunch. ...

Episode 145 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.

Phil offered the opinion that "we are drowning in bullshit" in the world today and that the only real honesty being offered is by hip-hop and deathcore metal artists. General Shaw thought it was called "Hibbob", named after a tribe of nomadic Arabs. Brass Villenueva and Harvey Weirman discussed the Redskin patent story with Brass saying since he couldn't get Taco Bell to change their recipes and couldn't get anyone to care that California used to be part of Mexico that he was "throwing in with the Indians." Margaret said that what Phil was talking about was "boogied up." She said she didn't mean it racially. She meant that what Phil was talking about sounded the way people dance "in certain parts of town, like they're having a seizure." Wade Belko, a new sponsor that sells "all things plastic and rubber for the car and the bedroom," demanded his money back when General Shaw butchered the copy for his commercial. When he tried reading it himself the music drowned him out and he demanded his money back. Phil butchered up a new "travelogue" segment by forgetting to call his friend Lauren who is traveling through Baltimore.... Episode 144 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.

The show started with another discussion of the "white middle class male listeners" Phil has who are turned off by hip-hop. Phil said that you can't sit around your garage playing "Pipeline" forever. Margaret spotted the same woman she saw yesterday morning on The Word network who seemed to have "overly developed lower jaw muscles." Speculation then veered, offensively so, into whether any of the women on screen "gobbed" or "coned." 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." Episode 143 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.

Phil and the crew kicked off talking about the Bee Gees' song "I Gotta Get A Message To You" and a version of it by The Soldiers which no one had heard except Phil. The suspicion around that melted into Margaret rummaging through her purse looking for a White Owl. Phil talked about his trip to Vegas and his visit with his cousins. He also gave some family history and ripped into Bud yet again for calling their home country "Cananada." Margaret remarked on how handsome a priest on TV was and the General chastised her for "wanting to hump the bones of a priest." Margaret asked Phil if he thought the man (whispering it) "was gay." Dr. Ed Elcott guested and recapped his appearance on the show last Friday. Jeff Dowdder was interviewed as to his knowledge of "Dr. Fredrickson's last moments." The doctor, one of the founders of Elcott-The Next Step, was thrown from a box car near the trestles at Jalama Beach north of Santa Barbara. Episode 142 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.
