The Phil Hendrie Show: The greatest radio show EVER

[Jixby Phillips]

Unfortunately they only have one free clip per month, but they don't really put up the best clips there. You used to be able to listsen for free but now you have to pay 7 bucks a month, but it's totally worth it. You get a 30 day archive and a really big "classic" archive. the show is 3 hours long (2 hours after they cut out the commercials for the 30 day archive). So for the price to see a movie you get 30 2 hour shows that are probably more entertaining than most movies out there.

You CAN find clips on KaZzA though, mostly from the "best-of" CDs.

I remember another really great bit he did back when all the Stem Cell research hoo haw was in the news and stuff: He had one of his characters on the phone named Bobbie Dooley who was trying to convince her friend and next-door-neighbor to get an abortion, so she would be able to audition for a part in a sitcom. Bobbie was also suggesting it would be good for her because she could give the baby up for stem cell researching (or as she understands it, "grinding up the baby to make medicine with").

She gets angry calls like usual, one caller has a little kid with her. Bobbie asks if she could speak to the child, and when the child is put on the phone, she asks it "Wouldn't YOU like to be ground up and made into medicine?"

Then eventually it gets out that Bobbie's real motivation for all of this is being able to cash in on the eventual rising of her property value if her neighbor becomes a sitcom star.

His bits are pretty much formulaic like that, he plays a stupid misguided character and usually has a secret agenda that comes out or something else that makes their ideas much worse, thus resulting in angrier and angrier calls.
