Speaker 1: Hey, welcome, guys, to the world-famous Phil Henry Show from
0:05
Speaker 1: Ted Bell Canyon. Yes, the world-famous Phil Henry Show, brought
0:09
Speaker 1: to you by philhenryshow.com. Go over to the merch store,
0:11
Speaker 1: pick something up. Even if you don't have a friend
0:14
Speaker 1: to give anything to, you can buy something for yourself
0:16
Speaker 1: and then wait to make a friend and then give
0:19
Speaker 1: that to the person that you've just met as a friend.
0:22
Speaker 1: I don't know how long that's going to... I just
0:26
Speaker 1: don't think it's a very effective... you know, sales pitch
0:29
Speaker 1: for the website.
0:30
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's unique. You say, I know you
0:32
Speaker 2: may not have no friends, but buy a present and
0:36
Speaker 2: you make one.
0:37
Speaker 1: You may not have no friends.
0:38
Speaker 2: I mean, you may not have any friends, but you
0:42
Speaker 2: will have a friend someday. So buy a present, put
0:44
Speaker 2: it in a closet or just put it like under
0:46
Speaker 2: your bed or something.
0:47
Speaker 1: Maybe in the garage?
0:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, just put it in the garage. And then when
0:50
Speaker 2: you go, ah, this is a friend, you give it
0:52
Speaker 2: to them.
0:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great. So I thought that was just a gag,
0:56
Speaker 1: but you guys are serious. No, I just was letting
0:58
Speaker 1: Bud kind of, you know, play it out.
1:00
Speaker 2: I thought you guys were joking, too.
1:02
Speaker 3: So you're joking.
1:03
Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay, so anyway, welcome to the world-famous Phil Henry Show.
1:07
Speaker 1: Go to our merch store, and now I think I'm
1:09
Speaker 1: going to seriously pitch that. Get something. Even if you
1:11
Speaker 1: don't have a friend, put it in the garage, stick
1:13
Speaker 1: it under the bed, and when you finally make a friend,
1:15
Speaker 1: give it to him.
1:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
1:17
Speaker 2: You hung with it, Mr.
1:18
Speaker 4: Henry.
1:19
Speaker 3: You really sold it, Phil.
1:20
Speaker 1: Thank you.
1:20
Speaker 3: Okay.
1:22
Speaker 1: Harvey Wireman's going to be with us. Is Harvey.
1:24
Speaker 3: Harvey's over at Ted's Beverly Hills, yeah. In fact, he
1:27
Speaker 3: was having a dinner with Frank. Frank is home now,
1:32
Speaker 3: and I think he's with his daughter.
1:33
Speaker 4: Caroline.
1:33
Speaker 3: Yes.
1:35
Speaker 1: So here's the thing, and... Mr.
1:39
Speaker 2: Renner, I'm telling you.
1:40
Speaker 1: Just hold on, bud. I got jury duty. I have
1:43
Speaker 1: had jury duty. I've done two turns of jury duty
1:47
Speaker 1: in Ventura County alone, and... I think some other places,
1:52
Speaker 1: but you know, I've lived a long life, but all
1:55
Speaker 1: of a sudden I moved back to LA County and
1:56
Speaker 1: guess what? Hey, there's a new guy here. It's Phil Henry.
1:59
Speaker 1: Let's call him for jury duty. And while they called
2:01
Speaker 1: me in LA for jury duty, and this all happened
2:04
Speaker 1: within the last two months, Ventura County called me again
2:06
Speaker 1: for jury duty. And I said to them, I don't
2:10
Speaker 1: live in Ventura County anymore. You know, And I told
2:14
Speaker 1: you guys that I like jury duty.
2:16
Speaker 3: Now, that was the thing. You said you felt very patriotic.
2:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, you said you liked seeing the different people. They
2:22
Speaker 2: were dressed up in different clothing and stuff.
2:24
Speaker 3: What do you mean dressed up in different clothing?
2:26
Speaker 1: No, in other words, I saw a lot of people,
2:28
Speaker 1: different ethnicities, different religions, different classes, workers. For me, it
2:36
Speaker 1: was an illustration of the human race. and it was
2:41
Speaker 1: great to see. And I saw how dedicated everybody was.
2:44
Speaker 1: Look at all these people coming out and doing jury duty.
2:46
Speaker 1: It's part of their civic duty.
2:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you found out something different.
2:50
Speaker 2: Well, hold on for a minute.
2:50
Speaker 1: So then, you know, one of the things about being
2:55
Speaker 1: registered to vote, and you should be registered to vote,
2:57
Speaker 1: is you will get these jury duty pitches. That's where
3:00
Speaker 1: they find you on the registration rolls. And I don't
3:03
Speaker 1: mind jury duty. I love voting. I love being a citizen. But, God,
3:07
Speaker 1: this coming up this next week, And what happened was L.A.
3:10
Speaker 1: County sent me this summons, jury summons. I was able
3:13
Speaker 1: to postpone it a couple times. Now here it's coming
3:16
Speaker 1: up on me again. Well, what's the problem?
3:18
Speaker 3: I mean, you've got jobs next week.
3:20
Speaker 1: You know, if you've got a job that's two days
3:21
Speaker 1: and then another job that's three days, and it doesn't,
3:23
Speaker 1: I don't do an eight-hour-a-day job. They'll go, well, why
3:26
Speaker 1: can't you do jury duty? Because this, two days of
3:29
Speaker 1: work here, two days of work there, it's the kind
3:31
Speaker 1: of intermittent feature to my work.
3:35
Speaker 3: Well, and you haven't even filled the thing out.
3:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, Mr.
3:37
Speaker 2: Amin, you've got to fill out the thing. And everything.
3:40
Speaker 1: Is that right? Well, I haven't filled out the thing,
3:42
Speaker 1: but I'm going to call them tomorrow, and I'm just
3:44
Speaker 1: going to throw myself on their mercy and say, you know, yeah.
3:46
Speaker 3: Throw your show, man. What do you think is going
3:49
Speaker 3: to happen, Phil? I'm not going to.
3:51
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. I'll be able to get it postponed. Well,
3:53
Speaker 1: that's why I got Harvey on the line. Harvey Weierman
3:56
Speaker 1: joining us on the phone line here from, I don't
3:58
Speaker 1: know where Harvey is at. Oh, he's at Ted's Beverly Hills.

Speaker 1: ask you some advice on jury duty.
4:19
Speaker 4: Oh, Ted Bell. Hey, Ted. Hey, Phil, it's Ted Bell.
4:22

Speaker 1: I know I am.
4:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, get on into a steak. You know what you
4:30
Speaker 4: need to do, Phil? You need to tear into a steak.
4:33
Speaker 4: Just belly up. See that steak? Take the fork and
4:36
Speaker 4: the knife and just, hey, hey, hey, rip into it.
4:38
Speaker 1: Well, I'm vegan.
4:41
Speaker 4: Oh, bullshit. Hey, Phil, you're really selling that, huh? I am.
4:44
Speaker 1: I am vegan. I stay away from red meat. I
4:47
Speaker 1: stay away from meat.
4:48
Speaker 3: Okay?
4:48
Speaker 4: You stay away from meat, huh? That's not what I heard.
4:50
Speaker 4: I'm just joking around, Phil. Oh, yeah. I love how
4:55
Speaker 4: people just pull the phone out of my hand. Sorry, but,
4:58
Speaker 4: you know, that's dirty pool, Ted. Oh, my God. You're
5:02
Speaker 4: saying the guy's a homosexual.
5:05
Speaker 1: It's okay, Harvey. I mean, it's a joke.
5:08
Speaker 2: You know.
5:10
Speaker 4: It was just a joke, Phil.
5:11
Speaker 3: I understand that.
5:13
Speaker 4: You said, you know, you're not around meat that much.
5:15
Speaker 4: I said, well, yeah, really? I haven't heard that. We
5:18
Speaker 4: got it. So, Phil, what's going on with it? Hey,
5:22
Speaker 4: you know, Ted, every time you get nervous these days,
5:25
Speaker 4: your voice cracks. Get yourself a drink of water. You
5:28
Speaker 4: know what I'm going to do? I'm going to get
5:30
Speaker 4: myself a Ted. Is he off? Is he off what?
5:36
Speaker 1: Is he off of work?
5:37
Speaker 4: Yeah. Hey, Ted, are you on the clock? No, he's
5:42
Speaker 4: off the clock.
5:42
Speaker 1: Okay, so, Harvey, here's the deal. As I mentioned to
5:45
Speaker 1: the pre-show audience, and I'll mention to you, I've gotten
5:47
Speaker 1: another jury summons, this one from L.A.
5:49
Speaker 4: County.
5:50
Speaker 1: Now, just hear me out, okay?
5:52
Speaker 4: You already did jury duty at Ventura.
5:54
Speaker 1: That doesn't make any difference. I was in Ventura County.
5:56
Speaker 1: That's where the El Pacifico was. Sold the studio and
6:01
Speaker 1: the house and everything. Now we're over here in L.A. County,
6:05
Speaker 1: and by God, they saw my name pop up on the,
6:08
Speaker 1: whatever it is, on the voter rolls, and they decided, hey,
6:10
Speaker 1: it's Phil Hendry.
6:11
Speaker 4: Well, that's, as you mentioned, that's where they get the
6:14
Speaker 4: names for jury duty. You were dumb enough to register
6:18
Speaker 4: to vote.
6:19
Speaker 1: You're kidding, right?
6:20
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm kidding. But that's where, hold on for a minute, Carolyn.
6:27
Speaker 1: I have a problem.
6:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you. You want some of the spizz water here?
6:33
Speaker 4: What is that? Is that ginger beer? So, Phil, when
6:36
Speaker 4: are you supposed to report?
6:38
Speaker 1: On Monday.
6:39
Speaker 4: Okay, what are you going to do?
6:40
Speaker 1: I'm going to call them tomorrow, and I'm going to say, hey,
6:42
Speaker 1: you know what? And I didn't fill out the thing.
6:45
Speaker 4: What thing? You mean the summons?
6:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, they want you to fill all this stuff out.
6:50
Speaker 4: Well, fill that out, and you're supposed to do it
6:53
Speaker 4: on their website. They've got a website.
6:54
Speaker 1: This thing they said they do, I don't want to
6:56
Speaker 1: bore people with all the details, okay? The fact is that, yeah,
6:59
Speaker 1: I've got to fill that out on the website, but
7:02
Speaker 1: I did jury duty twice in Ventura County. Now, dig this.
7:05
Speaker 1: I come back to L.A.
7:06
Speaker 3: County.
7:07
Speaker 1: They call me up or they hit me up for
7:09
Speaker 1: jury duty in L.A. County now. And guess who else
7:12
Speaker 1: called for jury duty?
7:13
Speaker 4: Oh, I heard. Ventura County.
7:15
Speaker 2: Yeah.
7:15
Speaker 4: Okay, that's got to happen. You served on a jury
7:19
Speaker 4: in Ventura County once before, right?
7:20
Speaker 1: Well, I had jury service, yeah.
7:22
Speaker 4: Okay. So, obviously, they think you're a good, reliable guy,
7:27
Speaker 4: so they... Yeah, I want you back in.
7:29
Speaker 1: Well, I don't live in Ventura County anymore.
7:31
Speaker 4: Did you call them up? What did you just say?
7:33
Speaker 4: I don't live in Ventura County anymore?
7:35
Speaker 1: Anymore.
7:36
Speaker 4: Oh.
7:37
Speaker 1: No, I did. I called them and they.
7:39
Speaker 4: Did you get it canceled?
7:40
Speaker 1: No, I postponed it until January.
7:42
Speaker 4: What are you talking about, Henry? You don't live there anymore.
7:44
Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about. That's what I think. You know, Mr. Weirman,
7:47
Speaker 2: I think he's going to go to jail. I just do.
7:49
Speaker 4: Hold on, will you? You don't know anything.
7:52
Speaker 3: What do you mean he's going to jail?
7:54
Speaker 2: I just do.
7:55
Speaker 3: I just do.
7:55
Speaker 4: You don't know anything about anything. Just shut up.
7:58
Speaker 1: See, that's the kind of talk that makes me nervous, bud.
8:00
Speaker 1: Stop it.
8:01
Speaker 2: Well, you've got to do your duty, and you do
8:03
Speaker 2: your duty as the best as you see how as
8:05
Speaker 2: a citizen of America.
8:07
Speaker 4: All right, Dickman, or should I call you Paul Revere?
8:10
Speaker 4: What are you, all of a sudden giving a big picture?
8:12
Speaker 4: Look at Dickman. Henry's done jury duty already.
8:14
Speaker 1: Well, he's telling me I'll go to jail.
8:18
Speaker 4: You will.
8:18
Speaker 2: I looked it up and everything.
8:19
Speaker 3: Will you just shut up? What are you trying to do,
8:22
Speaker 3: make the guys nervous?
8:23
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you, Mr. Henry, you have to do
8:25
Speaker 2: what you've got to do to be a citizen of America. Really?
8:29
Speaker 1: Well, I didn't even know.
8:30
Speaker 2: That, Bud.
8:30
Speaker 4: Well, Bud, he's not half wrong. See, here's the thing.
8:34
Speaker 1: Well, what's he talking about?
8:35
Speaker 4: Here it is. Jury duty, if you ignore a summons
8:38
Speaker 4: or if you can't make the... You're not ignoring the summons.
8:41
Speaker 4: You're just trying to get postponement. Yeah. So it's not
8:44
Speaker 4: going to happen to you, I don't think. I mean,
8:46
Speaker 4: I hope not.
8:47
Speaker 1: How's it going to happen to me, man, if I'm
8:48
Speaker 1: in contact with them and saying I can't make it?
8:51
Speaker 4: Well, at some point they're going to say, well, guess what? Yes,
8:53
Speaker 4: you can. And your career, your life, your money, your security,
8:58
Speaker 4: you can take that, wad that up, and stick it
9:00
Speaker 4: right up there at no point because it's the city,
9:02
Speaker 4: it's the county of Los Angeles. They have to be official.
9:05
Speaker 4: They can't be dirty. So they just point to their
9:07
Speaker 4: rear end. What are you laughing at?
9:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
9:12
Speaker 4: I'm just telling you. They'll say, take all of your concerns,
9:16
Speaker 4: wad them up, and stick them, and they'll go, see
9:19
Speaker 4: where we're pointing?
9:21
Speaker 1: Because they can't say it officially because it's the county.
9:24
Speaker 4: Oh, my God. Hey, Ted, you hear that?
9:26
Speaker 2: I got it.
9:27
Speaker 4: All right, thanks a lot. Here's the thing I don't
9:32
Speaker 4: like about you, Harvey. You treat me like I'm your
9:35
Speaker 4: yard bitch. You treat me like I'm your yard bitch. Ted,
9:41
Speaker 4: can I get a freshen up here? Oh, yes, sir. Well,
9:45
Speaker 4: it's a Ted.
9:45
Speaker 1: You having yourself a drink?
9:48
Speaker 4: You better believe it. So here's the thing, Phil, yeah.
9:52
Speaker 4: It's a graduating situation. So in L.A. County, if you
9:57
Speaker 4: ignore a summons or whatever the hell the problem is,
10:00
Speaker 4: it starts out with a $ 1, 500 fine, and it goes
10:06
Speaker 4: to $ 5, 000, and then it goes to $.
10:08
Speaker 1: 5, 000.
10:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, and three days in jail.
10:11
Speaker 4: You shut up, Dickman.
10:12
Speaker 1: Hey, Dickman, shut up.
10:13
Speaker 4: It's not three days in jail. It's five days in jail. See,
10:16
Speaker 4: you missed that.
10:17
Speaker 1: Oh, that makes me feel much, much better.
10:20
Speaker 2: Oh, yes, right. I got that wrong.
10:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, isn't that nice?
10:23
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, it is. $ 5, 000, five days in jail.
10:29
Speaker 4: You know, you're going to walk into that jail and
10:30
Speaker 4: some guy's going to look at you and go, I
10:32
Speaker 4: love you. You know, Phil? Oh, sure. Oh, man. I'm
10:37
Speaker 4: kidding around. You know that. You're Ted? And may I
10:40
Speaker 4: join you? Of course. Hey, Phil, he's screwing around, okay?
10:45
Speaker 4: Have you ever been to jail? Yes, I have. Oh,
10:47
Speaker 4: my God. When did you go to jail?
10:49
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, when I was 19. I
10:50
Speaker 1: was drinking in public. I didn't know you could go
10:52
Speaker 1: to jail. You could go to jail for being under
10:54
Speaker 1: 21 for drinking.
10:56
Speaker 4: I don't know. Oh, so they caught you drinking in public,
10:59
Speaker 4: and you were what, 19?
10:59
Speaker 2: I was 19.
11:01
Speaker 4: But so you're old enough to go to jail, but
11:03
Speaker 4: not old enough to drink. We hear this all the time, Bill.
11:06
Speaker 4: It's very, very unfair. You know, I just... Did you
11:10
Speaker 4: freshen this up again? God damn. He swallowed that... Watch
11:15
Speaker 4: how you say swallow... So let me ask you a question.
11:19
Speaker 1: That was when I was 19.
11:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right.
11:21
Speaker 4: So what was that, overnight?
11:24
Speaker 1: It was overnight, and I actually called the Newport Beach
11:28
Speaker 1: City Jail there, whatever the hell I called, because my
11:31
Speaker 1: birthday was coming up, and I was going to have
11:33
Speaker 1: a party, and I wanted to get the mug shot.
11:36
Speaker 4: I bet you they purged it off.
11:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, they said they didn't have it anymore, that the
11:40
Speaker 1: FBI had it in Washington. And I said, I don't
11:43
Speaker 1: give a shit.
11:44
Speaker 4: All right, so anyway, that was all a bunch of nothing.
11:48
Speaker 1: No, I just, just as a side note, you know.
11:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you can't take these things lightly and talk
11:53
Speaker 2: about it. I'm going to get my mug shot and
11:54
Speaker 2: put up a party that disrespects the system. Hey, what
11:57
Speaker 2: is you all of a sudden, man? What is you
12:00
Speaker 2: all of a sudden?
12:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, Phil, you kind of.
12:02
Speaker 1: What are you doing, man, all of a sudden being Mr.
12:05
Speaker 1: Big Shot here with the law?
12:06
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you, man, you know, our living depends
12:10
Speaker 2: upon you.
12:11
Speaker 3: Well, he is right, Phil. You know, without you, we
12:13
Speaker 3: have no job here.
12:14
Speaker 4: All right.
12:15
Speaker 2: Yeah. And you go to jail on account of you're
12:17
Speaker 2: too lazy to fill out the jury summons? Yeah, right.
12:20
Speaker 4: Hey, Dickman, okay. You did your duty. Shut up. So, uh.
12:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, shut up.
12:25
Speaker 2: Thanks a lot.
12:26
Speaker 4: What's he crying?
12:27
Speaker 1: Bud, take it easy.
12:29
Speaker 4: So, yeah, you can go to jail for five, you know,
12:33
Speaker 4: five days. Five days, Mr. Henry?
12:35
Speaker 2: All I ask is you just think about it. Think
12:37
Speaker 2: about it. You'll be in five days. You'll be crawling.
12:39
Speaker 2: You'll be hanging off the bars, crawling on the walls.
12:43
Speaker 2: You'll go insane.
12:45
Speaker 4: Sure I will. Well, I mean, you're in jail there
12:48
Speaker 4: for five days, Phil. These bunch of guys are going
12:50
Speaker 4: to be looking at you and going, mm-hmm. Say, listen,
12:53
Speaker 4: why don't you run and catch me a pack of cigarettes?
12:57
Speaker 1: I don't think that city jail for five days is
12:59
Speaker 1: going to be like that. And especially, I'm not exactly
13:03
Speaker 1: the young punk type. But if you guys are trying
13:04
Speaker 1: to freak me out and scare me, you're nuts. The
13:07
Speaker 1: thing that's bothering me is the fact that I have
13:09
Speaker 1: to take time out of my job to do this.
13:12
Speaker 3: Oh, so that's it.
13:13
Speaker 1: Now listen, you're talking about civic responsibility and being a
13:16
Speaker 1: patriotic person.
13:17
Speaker 3: Why would you not want to do jury duty?
13:19
Speaker 1: I told you, Margaret, already, because I got other stuff.
13:22
Speaker 1: The work's piling up next week.
13:24
Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
13:24
Speaker 1: Jesus, Phil.
13:25
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, if that's what it is, that's what
13:28
Speaker 4: the work's piling up, that's what's going to happen.
13:32
Speaker 3: But look at how angry he got. I told you.
13:34
Speaker 1: Well, that's right. Anyway, you know what? If I've got
13:37
Speaker 1: to do jury duty, I don't care.
13:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, look at that. He just said the S word.
13:40
Speaker 1: That's right. Because I don't want to go to jail, bud,
13:43
Speaker 1: because who knows, there might be some guy standing there going,
13:45
Speaker 1: I love you.
13:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, look at him taking it all lightly.
13:49
Speaker 4: Don't take it lightly, Phil, okay? There's going to be
13:52
Speaker 4: some guys on the yard there, and they'll be saying, hey,
13:55
Speaker 4: tell you what, could you tie my shoe for me?
13:58
Speaker 4: Next thing you know, you'll be bent over something else.
14:02
Speaker 4: Bent over tying a shoe? They'll have you bent over.
14:04
Speaker 1: Okay, thanks a lot, Harvey. Thank you for nothing.
14:07
Speaker 4: All right, I just wanted you to know.
14:10
Speaker 1: Jesus. So jury duty, huh?
14:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all I'm just.
14:15
Speaker 1: Talking about it. We have a great featured archive today.
14:21
Speaker 3: Look at you.
14:21
Speaker 1: You're all nervous, worried about it. I'm not worried about it.
14:23
Speaker 1: I'm just, you know, there's so much crap that I've
14:26
Speaker 1: got to do. Do you realize what happened here over
14:28
Speaker 1: the last 48 hours?
14:29
Speaker 3: Yes, you were talking about it on the show. You
14:30
Speaker 3: talked about it on the pre-show.
14:32
Speaker 1: That's right. We had the studio was shut down here, folks,
14:35
Speaker 1: because Southern California Edison needed to shut the power down
14:38
Speaker 1: to the neighborhood because they don't want to get blamed
14:40
Speaker 1: for another forest fire. So they were out, you know,
14:44
Speaker 1: doing their equipment. The same thing happens up in Northern
14:46
Speaker 1: California when PG & E got into trouble.
14:48
Speaker 2: Garrett, one time PG & E did, I don't know,
14:51
Speaker 2: What is PG & E?
14:52
Speaker 1: Pacific Gas and Electric.
14:53
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
14:55
Speaker 1: Anyway, so, you know, we had to get the shows
15:00
Speaker 1: produced before the studio got shut down for 12 hours.
15:03
Speaker 1: So I'm running in here, getting that stuff done. I
15:05
Speaker 1: didn't want to hang here for 12 hours. So we
15:07
Speaker 1: went off to the embassy suites.
15:10
Speaker 2: Now, you were not all that happy with it.
15:12
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not going to badmouth the embassy suites, okay?
15:15
Speaker 1: But it's a pet-friendly hotel, but. I'm watching my kid.
15:19
Speaker 1: I had the cat, Thunder the cat.
15:21
Speaker 4: Right.
15:22
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, Thunder the cat comes walking
15:24
Speaker 1: up to me with a box stuck to his fur
15:27
Speaker 1: up under his head.
15:29
Speaker 4: What?
15:30
Speaker 2: A box stuck to the fur under his head?
15:31
Speaker 4: Yeah.
15:33
Speaker 1: And it was a box that contained or was one
15:37
Speaker 1: of those glue traps.
15:40
Speaker 3: Oh, for mice and insects?
15:41
Speaker 4: Yeah.
15:42
Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
15:43
Speaker 4: Yes.
15:43
Speaker 1: Most inhumane goddamn trap there is. This thing's hanging off
15:46
Speaker 1: of her fur. So I pulled that off of her,
15:49
Speaker 1: and I said, let's get the fuck out of here, Thunder.
15:51
Speaker 1: And she goes, okay. Did she? Yeah, that's right. She talks.
15:56
Speaker 3: What are you, Dickman, trying to be funny?
15:57
Speaker 4: All right, sorry.
15:59
Speaker 1: So we got out of there. But before I left,
16:01
Speaker 1: that's a good hotel, Embassy Suites, but, you know, pull
16:04
Speaker 1: it together, you guys. So I told the guy, I said, here,
16:07
Speaker 1: see this? Whoever put this up there needs to be fired.
16:10
Speaker 1: And the kid at the desk is like, oh, my God. See,
16:13
Speaker 1: I don't believe in ripping into employees. I believe in
16:17
Speaker 1: ripping into the management or whoever the asshole is that
16:20
Speaker 1: owns the company. Yeah.
16:22
Speaker 3: I like that too. Yeah.
16:24
Speaker 1: So I always tell people when I'm on the phone
16:26
Speaker 1: with someone, if it's just a representative of the company,
16:29
Speaker 1: if it's somebody just answering phones, I always tell them,
16:31
Speaker 1: you're doing a great job. And what I'm saying has
16:34
Speaker 1: nothing to do, it's no reflection on the work that
16:35
Speaker 1: you're doing. And every time they ask for an appraisal,
16:38
Speaker 1: I always say they get an A, A, A, A,
16:39
Speaker 1: give them a really, really high marks in terms of
16:42
Speaker 1: how they deal with me. But when it comes to
16:45
Speaker 1: the goddamn company, I let them know that that's where
16:48
Speaker 1: my complaint is.
16:50
Speaker 3: Oh, so you believe that stuff about how all the
16:53
Speaker 3: calls are recorded?
16:55
Speaker 1: Yes, I do.
16:55
Speaker 4: Why?
16:56
Speaker 3: Because you think that's going to make it to the
16:59
Speaker 3: brass in the company?
17:01
Speaker 4: Yeah.
17:02
Speaker 1: Do you think they're lying to me?
17:06
Speaker 2: I don't know.
17:07
Speaker 3: Who knows, Phil? They say all calls are recorded to
17:10
Speaker 3: ensure quality. Yeah, sure.
17:12
Speaker 1: Well, if that's true... That's where I lay my complaint.
17:15
Speaker 1: I always say, you guys are doing a great job.
17:17
Speaker 1: You guys answer the phone. My complaint is with your company,
17:20
Speaker 1: and I think they're making your job doubly difficult with
17:23
Speaker 1: all this crap. So I make sure that the person
17:26
Speaker 1: I'm talking to on the phone knows I'm on their side.
17:28
Speaker 1: I don't know, Phil. They're still going to blame the guy.
17:30
Speaker 1: They're going to say, look at the lousy job you did.
17:33
Speaker 1: This guy's talking about how crap our company is and telling.
17:35
Speaker 3: You how great you are.
17:36
Speaker 1: He's probably lying.
17:38
Speaker 3: Yeah. Get out of here. I'm not kidding.
17:42
Speaker 1: Okay, bud, thanks.
17:43
Speaker 4: Oh.
17:45
Speaker 1: So anyway, and so that's, because I've, down through the years,
17:48
Speaker 1: you know, dude, I got Hyatt this and Hilton that.
17:52
Speaker 3: You got the honors number.
17:54
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I got the honors this and I got
17:55
Speaker 1: the Hyatt that and I got the Embassy Suites this
17:58
Speaker 1: and every kind of honors number, every kind of discount,
18:02
Speaker 1: you name it. I got it. Because I've, you know,
18:06
Speaker 1: I travel, especially this last two years was traveling back
18:09
Speaker 1: and forth between Florida and here.
18:10
Speaker 2: Yeah.
18:12
Speaker 1: And so you stop being really impressed with the chicken
18:15
Speaker 1: shit and you start looking and seeing how people are
18:17
Speaker 1: actually doing their job. So that was that. So you
18:20
Speaker 1: got the box off of Thunder and what? And then
18:24
Speaker 1: Thunder looked at me and said, what are we doing?
18:26
Speaker 1: What's the point of life? And I said, you got
18:28
Speaker 1: that right.
18:28
Speaker 3: Yeah.
18:30
Speaker 4: Yeah.
18:32
Speaker 1: Anyway, El Trafico is coming up here in LA. That's the,
18:36
Speaker 1: you know, I'm an LAFC fan.
18:38
Speaker 3: Phil loves the soccer. Do you watch football?
18:41
Speaker 1: I don't watch American football anymore.
18:42
Speaker 3: What the hell happened to you anyway? I don't know, man.
18:46
Speaker 1: I just don't watch American football anymore. It bores the
18:48
Speaker 1: hell out of me, and that's all I can tell you.
18:51
Speaker 2: You watch soccer, though, on account of why? Because the
18:53
Speaker 2: guys are running around in shorts?
18:55
Speaker 1: That's why, bud.
18:55
Speaker 4: Yeah.
18:56
Speaker 1: One more, and I'm going to belt you, okay?
18:59
Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
19:00
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. But El Trafico is coming up this weekend.
19:04
Speaker 1: That's LAFC versus LA Galaxy.
19:06
Speaker 3: Oh, El Trafico. Oh, I see. As in the traffic.
19:10
Speaker 4: Yeah.
19:11
Speaker 1: And anyway, I can't go to that. We had to
19:13
Speaker 1: blow that up. So that's what I'm saying. It's like
19:15
Speaker 1: the business is, everything is getting kind of piled up.
19:18
Speaker 1: And you're going to go to jail if you miss
19:19
Speaker 1: that jury summons. Let me tell you something, my friend. Look,
19:22
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, General. No, I'm telling you. You got
19:25
Speaker 1: to answer that jury summons. Go sit on that jury
19:28
Speaker 1: or whatever you got to do or sit on your ass.
19:31
Speaker 1: Because you know the likelihood of you being picked for
19:33
Speaker 1: a jury is slim to none.
19:35
Speaker 2: I don't know.
19:36
Speaker 1: Well, you know, what happened in Ventura County? I didn't
19:38
Speaker 1: get picked for a jury.
19:39
Speaker 4: Okay.
19:40
Speaker 1: I just sat around in the room for about, I
19:41
Speaker 1: don't know, 40 minutes.
19:42
Speaker 3: Yeah. So answer that summons. Where's he got to go?
19:46
Speaker 1: I got to go to Santa Monica. Good luck. Yeah.
19:49
Speaker 4: All right.
19:50
Speaker 1: What's with you, bud?
19:51
Speaker 2: Knock it off.
19:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, Santa Monica Courthouse on Monday. I'm going to call
19:55
Speaker 1: him tomorrow. I'm going to get out of this thing. Me,
19:58
Speaker 1: Phil Hendry, I'm getting out of jury duty.
20:02
Speaker 2: All right.
20:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, Mr.
20:02
Speaker 1: Hendry.
20:03
Speaker 3: Knock it off, bud.
20:06
Speaker 2: World-famous Phil Hendry Show is executive produced by Mr. Hendry
20:14
Speaker 1: Good luck, Mr.
20:15
Speaker 3: Henry.
20:15
Speaker 4: Mr.
20:15
Speaker 2: Henry's going inside. Yeah.
