The show started with Margaret's usual opposition to the music Phil plays on the show but General Shaw said that when he hears deathcore metal it shows him there are still things worth fighting against... David G. Hall commented on what Opie can do now that he is no longer teamed with Anthony, including staying with Anthony and moving the whole show to the digital platform... Jay Santos of the Citizens Auxiliary Police discussed new TSA rules regarding phone and laptops with dead batteries. Jay also was contending with "L's Palsy," a condition whereby you swallow your L's to the point of strangling. Episode 157 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.

On today's podcast, Phil announced that the show might be recorded later in the day, so live listeners will need to stay tuned for that new time. The show started with the panel discussing the weekend's festivities, including Margaret and Frank's trip to the Santa Monica Art Library. And then the gang discussed TV commercials, with Phil laying into Geico for their awful commercial campaign. Then Brad Rifkin chimed in with his professional opinion on Matthew McConaughey's recent Lincoln commercial. In the General's words, "the guy's out there lookin' to score some dope." And Jay Santos came on to shamelessly plug his new Citizens Auxiliary Police t-shirt. Brad thought of a tagline for Jay's new shirt: "so good I wouldn't wipe with it." Jack Armstrong wrapped things up by discussing the NFL games from the past weekend. Episode 267 from The World of Phil Hendrie podcast.

The panel interviews security consultant Jay Santos for information on why a Time magazine photographer got beat on at the Trump rally in Alabama. Jay was there and can be heard on one tape exhorting the Secret Service agent with "yea, yea, YEEAAA!" Trump supporter Mark Henshaw believes the discovery of a mummified man aboard a drifting sailboat off the Philippines can somehow turn the news cycle away from coverage of Trump. August Selson's Sexual Exploration Exclamation is featured in the second half today, featuring August, a cave gnome named Mr. Fur, a centaur named Darrian, and of course Lady Beth.
