Phil Hendrie has a unique skill of using absurdity to backlight absurdity. He truly is a genius at his art form."

Horse puckey.

He's a talentless hack who made a living by purposely provoking people who weren't familiar with him, because he couldn't get people to call his call-in show otherwise.

"Bobbie Dooley?"

Yes! Bobbie has my vote!! I missed this cause I was readin the thread backwards! I wish it was on AM radio, rather than FM, cause my home puter is on slow dial-up only! Shoot!!!

PH pioneered the high brow “pull-my-finger” genre.

You are WRONG!

Phil is just a guy who wants to stir up the sh&% and make people laugh. He pokes fun at the overly zealous who take themselves too seriously.

Examples: 1) Jay Santos - Brigadier Admiral of the Citizens Police Brigade. Their motto: “We take a peek over the shoulder of the police!”
2) Bobbie Dooley - Society girl and President of the Greater Western Estate Home Owners Association, who believes that the “old and unsightly” owe it to society to kill themselves to beautify her neighborhood.
3) Doug Danger - Gay man and Gay journalist who, despite how off topic, believes that ALL issues revolve around the idea that being a Gay man and a Gay journalist proves that straight people hate Gays. (No we don’t hate Gays, just HIM!)
4) Rudy Carnoza - Latin man who thinks that ALL women want to hear him say “lalalalalalalala” in their ear!
Keep in mind that Phil does ALL the voices of the characters on his show and then mixes in callers who THINK that the characters are real!

Springer is a low life who made his name first as a corrupt liberal politician and then as a liberal talk show host who appeals to the “lowest common denominator” is all humans and WANTS people to kill each other on the air.

It must be a real power trip to get paid for Bush bashing.

You must be listening to The OTHER Phil Hendrie Show.

Because the Phil Hendrie I listened when I lived in Los Angeles
was so pro-Bush in the wake of 9-11/Afghanistan/Iraq, he started
a blog on the topic.
(sorry, I can't remember the URL, but he announced it more than
a few times)
This was so he could just dispense with spending a lot of the show
on his support of Dubya and responding to all the e-mail he got
from Bush-bashers.

Now, he may have changed in the last year or so after he quit his
last radio gig. But for 2001-2004, he took heat for supporting Dubya.

It was a put on, but the way his “guests” would try and
justify themselves using flawed logic, blind spots, etc.,
and the way it would anger the callers was particularly funny.

We were having a company try and schmooze us to buy one
of their products, and were going to have it at a
Beverly Hills Restaurant. I erased the name of the
Restaurant, and replaced it with “Ted Bells Steakhouse”
and one of my colleagues, said she would never go there
cause she hates Ted Bell, cause he was an
insufferable snot. “Oooh, I hate him” were her
words. I couldn’t stop laughing. I finally disabused her
of that notion, but laugh about it to this day.

“Bobbie Dooley, President of the Western Homeowners Assn!!! (Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh)”

I seem to recall Bobbie and her husband not being the best of parents either.

Hendrie, unless he changes his format, is a joke. He plays hit “guests” and argue with himself. It’s too weird.

Occasionally C2C is worth the effort tuning the dial, but most nights, no.

So if Phil Hendrie is on a station I can receive or on a web stream, I’ll probably hit C2C to see whats happening then turn to Phil when I find it’s more about the hollow Earth or Zeta Reticuli aliens.

Unfortunately, I missed that one.

I’m a semiregular listener of C2C, but only when the insomnia is running.
