"Best Of" on the radio!

Margaret Grey doesn't understand why callers and others are outraged that she allowed her son, Jason Jay Delmonico, to do a photo shoot in underwear and assuming inappropriate poses. "I know some of the shots might be misconstrued. We comprimised and didn't allow anymore pictures of him sitting on the toilet. Dean Wheeler from the Northern California Holistic Center expressed his family's disappointment that Rachel Crow did not win on X-Factor. They held LA Reid, one of the judges, responsible. But things got weird when Deans daughter, who had grabbed sissors and a magazine, said "Look daddy," and held up a photo of Reid with the eyes cut out.

RI reporter Gary Parton has been covering the Rick Perry campaign for months. He now feels that he can say, objectively and as a journalist, Rick Perry is part vegetable....that is not even human...for his bigoted stance on gays. And Gary says he can safely state as an objective journalist that Herman Cain got out of the presidential race because he didn't want to get caught with white women. Bob Green from Frazier Foods was disgusted by all the pet supplies and food he sells..dog sweaters, cat condos, dog hats, cat scratching posts, toys of all kinds not to mention food that's more nutritious than baby food...that he decided to get rid of all of it. In the middle of a recession, Bob reasoned, his soul was blackened in the eyes God for selling stuff that makes pets comfy. "You think I'm gonna ask our soldiers to die in Iraq so some old lady with a poodle can buy it shoes? Thank you but I'll pass."

Jack Kepner, a fire fighting expert and consultant, talked about the problem with people not paying their fire subscription fees in the towns that require them. The firefighters won't fight the fire if their home is burning. Jacks soluiton lay in what he called a "pre-screening." "If we came out there and found they hadn't paid the fee, we'd still fight the fire if they showed us a certain respect and appreciation. I mean, fighting a fire in a trailer park...you might as well be in Afghanistan.. Vernon Dozier also joined the show to talk about all the gifts he's given kids...flowers, jewelery, trips, clothes..but he's never "stepped over the line." Dave Oliva told Phil that while he must repsect the law, if he were the captain of an airliner that had a problem with Alec Baldwin, he'd have to get the flight attendant to throw him off. "Alec Baldwin is pretty heavy. I don't want to be put in risk."

Reverand David Castorini is concerned about a new orangutan exhibit at the Indianapolis Zoo. According to the Reverand, watching primates seduces humans into identifying with them and hence we, as humans, start believing in the theory of evolution. Castorini told Phil that sometimes, when he gets depressed, he goes to the zoo to look at the monkeys and cheer himself up. Ultimately though he winds up wanting an ape to "rule over me."  Harvey Weirman, Marine veteran and retired lawyer, joined Phil to discuss the attack on Pearl Harbor 70 years ago today. Harvey said he is tired of "having to remember a defeat. We got caught with our shorts around our ankles as if we were shuffling down the hall for toilet paper." Harvey wound up playing the Japanese national anthem telling Phil 'these are the guys we should be honoring. We got our asses handed to us!"

Don Parsely tried to con Phil and his listeners into thinking he had experience as an escaped convict and therefore was the best man to try and bring in a fuigitive in New Hampshire. All he needs is $50,000. Chris Norton, a telemarketer and sometime pornstar, was 'forced" into breaking off his engagement to a young lady when he couldn't take the fact she had a double mastectomy. "I know it makes me look like a double-douche or a douche deluxe, if you will, but that's the way it is," said Chris while breathing through his mouth.

Doug Dannger, gay man and gay journalist, came on to talk about an investigative piece he's done on tracking software for cell phones. Sprint and AT&T are being sued by consumers for placing this kind of software on phones in what they believe is a violation of federal law. Doug says, "as a gay man and a gay journalist," that they're just a bunch of crybabies who don't want to admit they lose their phones alot and need this software. Doug says most people are paranoid that "there's a camera somewhere watching their wives going to the bathroom."
