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.

On today's show, General Shaw had to "walk it off" early (basically he got pissed at something Phil said and walked away from the studio) and in the process needed to shift his penis from one side to the other. Larry Grover and Chris Norton traded observations on Americas's new sexual conservatism, Larry talking about the cleansers he keeps handy and Chris Norton on his irresistability. Vernon Dozier, talking about Hurricane Arthur, remembered spitting at Hurricane Katrina as he was driving out of New Orleans and telling it to "kiss my ass." During the BSP pre-show, Phil gave away an opportunity to be in the drawing for a VIP package to Phil's July 30th one-man show to KingKapp from Carson City, Nevada. He was the next caller after SeventhStranger incorrectly guessed that Phil was not wearing pants. Phil was, in fact, wearing pants... Episode 155 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.

Phil is under the weather today, so we've got some "Best Of" clips on the podcast today. Skippy and Frank started the show with their 4th of July Special, by sticking an M80 up Skippy's ass. Chris Norton then joined us with his "Blast of Love" bit. He wants to break the world record and have sex with 168 women consecutively...to commemorate the Oklahoma City bombing. Steve Bosell wrapped up the show to discuss his 4th of July the prior year. Steve saw "Platoon" and "Saving Private Ryan" before a fireworks show and it scared him until he crapped his pants. He's trying to get post-traumatic workers comp. Episode 153 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.

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?
