Phil was preparing for an audition, so there was no live show on the radio. We've got some comedy gold on the podcast from March 1, 2001. The first hour started off with Art Griego, followed by a rant by Phil. The second hour featured Jeff Dowder. He was on to give his stance on the recent quake. Jeff thinks that God sent the Seattle quake because he is angry that Starbucks is taking over the land and "raping" and "molesting" the bean. Chris Norton joined us in the third hour to talk about circumcision. Chris is uncircumcised and has been with 979 women. He claims that they all prefer an uncut member. "I have them bathe me and keep hand wipes in my car." Mavis wrapped up the show with her segment, "Interestin Tidbits."

Margaret was bitching about how she didn't get her VIP pass to Phil's show at the Hollywood Improv as quickly as some of our winners get their coffee mugs, even one of the guys who won this morning. And they discussed the controversial nature of the VIP giveaway this morning...(listen to the pre-show) Chris Norton joined the program 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. Don Berman was afforded another appearance on the show this morning due to technical malfunctions yesterday morning. What Don chose to talk about was the sale of the Clippers for 2 billion, and of course, carved it up and wound up hanging up on Phil. Did we use the word 'up' enough? Episode 132 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.

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.
