Speaker 1: Hello, everybody. It's Phil Henry with another Radio Archive Hour
0:03
Speaker 1: for this beautiful weekend that we have upon. I hope
0:06
Speaker 1: it's beautiful where you are, man. It's been really beautiful
0:08
Speaker 1: here in California. We have a Radio Archive Hour that
0:11
Speaker 1: comes to us from the year of 2005, February, and
0:15
Speaker 1: our good friend Dave Oliver, the aspiring LAPD officer who,
0:19
Speaker 1: as it is right now, he's doing a few menial
0:22
Speaker 1: jobs while he takes law enforcement, and he continually gets
0:24
Speaker 1: the whole thing wrong. He is on the show here
0:27
Speaker 1: to discuss how American Idol... of all places, American Idol
0:30
Speaker 1: encourages domestic violence. His reasons? Men see Simon Cow, as
0:35
Speaker 1: he calls him, and Paul Abdul telling women who audition
0:40
Speaker 1: for the show that their butts are too large or
0:42
Speaker 1: their clothes were wrong. So the men pick up on
0:44
Speaker 1: this and they start talking straight to the women. And
0:47
Speaker 1: the women talk back and, I don't know, this is Dave.
0:50
Speaker 1: Let's listen. David Oliver. Dave is a student at LA
0:52
Speaker 1: Canyon College. He is studying law enforcement. He is also
0:55
Speaker 1: studying criminal justice. He's looking to eventually enter the Los
1:00
Speaker 1: Angeles Police Academy, correct, Dave?
1:03
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, that's correct. And I'm very much looking forward
1:06
Speaker 2: to it.
1:07
Speaker 1: We were talking, and it was very interesting, about the
1:09
Speaker 1: television show American Idol and the contestants that go on
1:13
Speaker 1: that show. And you had an unusual point of view
1:16
Speaker 1: concerning the message that it sends to men. Go ahead.
1:21
Speaker 1: Tell the audience what that was.
1:23
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I firmly believe that it sends a
1:25
Speaker 2: mixed message to men, and I think it's a destructive message.
1:28
Speaker 2: I'll tell you why. The reason why I say that, Mr. Henry,
1:32
Speaker 2: is I'm studying to be LAPD. Eventually, I want to
1:36
Speaker 2: become a patrolman and work for the Los Angeles Police Department, which,
1:42
Speaker 2: in my opinion, is the best police department probably in
1:45
Speaker 2: like the whole world, you know. And in order to
1:48
Speaker 2: do that, you have to know psychology. And plus, I'm
1:53
Speaker 2: going to have to go out on domestic violence calls.
1:55
Speaker 2: I'm going to have to go out on calls where,
1:57
Speaker 2: you know, the perpetrator might be a man who has
2:00
Speaker 2: been inflicting some kind of violence on a woman. And
2:03
Speaker 2: so I need to understand why that is.
2:05
Speaker 1: But give me the relationship with American Idol.
2:07
Speaker 2: Well, primarily American Idol, if you've seen this television show,
2:11
Speaker 2: and I don't know how many of your listeners are
2:14
Speaker 2: familiar with it, at all with it, but American Idol
2:17
Speaker 2: is a TV show where they bring on contestants, a
2:22
Speaker 2: lot of them, most of them I'd say are women,
2:24
Speaker 2: most of them probably women, and the women get up
2:28
Speaker 2: and they'll sing a song or they'll be dressed, you know,
2:33
Speaker 2: the best way they know how, and they'll sing a
2:35
Speaker 2: song and, like, do a show, okay? Okay. Okay. Okay, Mr.
2:39
Speaker 3: Henry?
2:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I'm familiar with the show.
2:41
Speaker 2: Okay. So, all right. So then they do that. Then
2:45
Speaker 2: they stand in front of three judges, one of whom
2:48
Speaker 2: is named Randy Jackson, the other of whom is named
2:52
Speaker 2: Simon Cowell, and the other of whom is named Paul Abdul. And, like,
2:57
Speaker 2: for the next three minutes, they cut him up almost
3:00
Speaker 2: as if they cut him with a knife. They talk
3:03
Speaker 2: about how big their butts are. They talk about how
3:06
Speaker 2: flat-chested they are. They talk about how their clothes are
3:08
Speaker 2: no good.
3:09
Speaker 1: They talk about how flat-chested they are?
3:11
Speaker 2: Well, they get into a personal appearance, you know, and
3:14
Speaker 2: they'll even say, well, you know, your voice is not
3:16
Speaker 2: that good. In other words, they lead men to believe
3:22
Speaker 2: that you can speak to a woman like this. And
3:25
Speaker 2: the women themselves, I think also, Mr. Henry, are culpable
3:29
Speaker 2: because they stand there and they smile as they're being
3:33
Speaker 2: told these very destructive personal things, and they nod their
3:37
Speaker 2: heads up and down like, yeah, okay, you know, I
3:41
Speaker 2: get it, I understand.
3:42
Speaker 1: And so if I'm anticipating what you're going to say, David,
3:46
Speaker 1: I don't mean to preempt you, but men take from
3:48
Speaker 1: that the message that it's all right to speak to
3:51
Speaker 1: a woman that way.
3:52
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, naturally they would. And so what happens is
3:56
Speaker 2: a woman will watch, or a man will watch this
3:58
Speaker 2: on TV, And they'll watch their woman watching it on TV. Like,
4:02
Speaker 2: my girlfriend watches this show on TV. And I have,
4:07
Speaker 2: you know, I told her, I said, okay, you know,
4:10
Speaker 2: I think that you've probably, you know, gotten too much
4:12
Speaker 2: weight on. You know, I told her, I said, you know,
4:14
Speaker 2: to me, it looks to me, and this is just
4:16
Speaker 2: my own personal opinion, but it looks to me like
4:18
Speaker 2: your hips are too big, your butt area is probably
4:21
Speaker 2: too wide, you know. She gets upset with me, okay.
4:25
Speaker 2: She takes the baby. She leaves, goes over to her
4:29
Speaker 2: friend's apartment, and right now we're living with her mother,
4:33
Speaker 2: so I'm there at her mother's apartment. She's not even there,
4:35
Speaker 2: and I'm living in the back bedroom at her mother's apartment.
4:39
Speaker 2: Why did this happen? How could this happen? I'll tell
4:42
Speaker 2: you why. Because the message it sends to me from
4:45
Speaker 2: American Idol is, I'm allowed to speak that way to
4:48
Speaker 2: a woman, but when I do, they won't allow it,
4:52
Speaker 2: you know?
4:53
Speaker 1: Well, who do you blame, man? Do you blame the
4:55
Speaker 1: TV show? Do you blame the women?
4:57
Speaker 2: Well, I think I equally blame both the TV show
4:59
Speaker 2: and the women, mostly the women. I mean, because the
5:03
Speaker 2: women are the biggest fans of this TV show, American Idol.
5:06
Speaker 2: And yet when you speak to them exactly the same
5:08
Speaker 2: way that the judge does on TV, they get upset. Now,
5:12
Speaker 2: my current situation is this. My woman left, and I went.
5:16
Speaker 2: I had to go get her, you know.
5:17
Speaker 1: What do you mean you had to go get her?
5:20
Speaker 2: Well, she left. She moved out and moved in with
5:22
Speaker 2: her friends.
5:23
Speaker 1: And when you say you went and got her?
5:24
Speaker 2: Well, I went over and got her. I said, you're
5:26
Speaker 2: not leaving. You know, that's not fair. That's not right.
5:29
Speaker 2: So I grabbed her and I grabbed all of her belongings.
5:31
Speaker 2: I brought her back, you know. And I told her,
5:34
Speaker 2: I said, the whole way that this started is because
5:38
Speaker 2: what's this about? You know, and she goes, you can't
5:39
Speaker 2: speak to me like that. I said, no, I can't
5:41
Speaker 2: speak to you like that. But big American Idol can
5:45
Speaker 2: speak to you like that. And she looked at me
5:48
Speaker 2: and she went, well, you know, you got a point, okay?
5:51
Speaker 2: If you explain it, I think, that way, a lot
5:52
Speaker 2: of women will get it, but then a lot of
5:54
Speaker 2: women won't.
5:56
Speaker 1: It's an interesting point of view that American Idol talks
5:59
Speaker 1: down to women, and yet when men try that, they're
6:02
Speaker 1: not allowed to.
6:03
Speaker 2: Yes, sir. And also, very important to understand, the mixed
6:07
Speaker 2: message it sends to men is very destructive because, you know,
6:12
Speaker 2: then you feel like you want to just.
6:16
Speaker 2: I don't even want to say, you know, because I'm
6:17
Speaker 2: studying to be an APD, but I understand how some
6:20
Speaker 2: domestic violence can result from that.
6:22
Speaker 1: Well, you're not recommending that.
6:23
Speaker 2: No, no, I'm not recommending it at all. But my
6:25
Speaker 2: woman left when I went over to get her, and
6:28
Speaker 2: I said, you can't leave me because that's a totally
6:33
Speaker 2: wrong way for you to leave me on account of that.
6:37
Speaker 1: All right, let me give our phone number out here, David.
6:39
Speaker 1: It's 1-800-449-8686. David Oliver is a student of criminal justice,
6:43
Speaker 1: also studying sociology. Yes, sir.
6:45
Speaker 2: It's required. It's also part of my minor for my
6:50
Speaker 2: law enforcement criminal justice degree.
6:52
Speaker 1: And the idea that American Idol will get women up there,
6:56
Speaker 1: if you've ever seen the show, the women sing and
6:57
Speaker 1: then they are told that this is wrong and that's
7:00
Speaker 1: wrong and this is wrong and that's wrong, and they
7:02
Speaker 1: don't get angry.
7:03
Speaker 2: No, see, that's the whole thing. They don't get angry. Okay?
7:07
Speaker 2: This is a destructive message being sent, I think, to
7:10
Speaker 2: men because it tells them wrongly. It gives them false
7:15
Speaker 2: permission to speak to women like that. And then when
7:20
Speaker 2: we do, the women tell us that we're not allowed to.
7:25
Speaker 2: And then they try to leave. All right. Our number
7:26
Speaker 2: is 1-800-449-8686. 1-800-449-8686.
7:27
Speaker 1: I want to get back to this thing about where
7:28
Speaker 1: you said you went and got her.
7:37
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, I did. I went and got her because
7:38
Speaker 2: I told her, you know, and her name's Christina. Okay.
7:44
Speaker 2: I said, you know, you put on a lot of weight.
7:47
Speaker 2: You kind of, you know, I didn't say ugly, but
7:50
Speaker 2: I said, you know, you're getting uglier, or not getting uglier, but,
7:52
Speaker 2: you know, your face is getting, there's a lot of
7:54
Speaker 2: stuff that I'd like to see cleaned up about you,
7:56
Speaker 2: you know? Now, I did it the same way that
8:00
Speaker 2: that dude on American Idol does it, Simon Cowell.
8:05
Speaker 1: Simon Cowell?
8:07
Speaker 2: Simon Cowell, yeah.
8:08
Speaker 1: Okay. What did you say?
8:10
Speaker 2: I said to her, I said, Christina, honey, you and I,
8:14
Speaker 2: for us to be married, as we wish in June,
8:19
Speaker 2: and I do want to marry you in June, when
8:21
Speaker 2: the summer months approach and the harvest is in, you know,
8:25
Speaker 2: but you have to do some things, first of all.
8:30
Speaker 2: And I remember what Simon Cowell had said to one
8:32
Speaker 2: gal that they had interviewed. He said... First of all,
8:37
Speaker 2: your weight's got to come off. Second of all, the
8:39
Speaker 2: dress is all wrong. Third, you know, your hair, your
8:42
Speaker 2: presentation is just a mess. And I took my inspiration
8:46
Speaker 2: from Simon Cowell. Okay.
8:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, but can I tell you something, man? That's a
8:51
Speaker 1: television show intended for the entertainment of the audience.
8:54
Speaker 2: All right. Well, here again, we've got a problem. Maybe
8:58
Speaker 2: it's intended for the entertainment of the audience, but the
9:01
Speaker 2: women in the audience are not complaining about it. So therefore,
9:05
Speaker 2: you have to assume that the women agree with Simon
9:09
Speaker 2: Cowell and how Simon Cowell talked to them.
9:13
Speaker 1: All right, so you, after seeing an American Idol where
9:16
Speaker 1: this guy, Mr. Cowell, had pretty well cut this woman
9:19
Speaker 1: down in terms of her appearance.
9:21
Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
9:21
Speaker 1: Then you approached your girlfriend. The two of you have
9:26
Speaker 1: a baby together?
9:26
Speaker 2: Oh, yes, we do. We have our little Jessica. She's
9:29
Speaker 2: eight months old.
9:30
Speaker 1: And you're not yet married.
9:31
Speaker 2: No, we're going to do that. Pretty soon. Like we've
9:35
Speaker 2: planned this summer.
9:37
Speaker 1: But all right. But in anticipation of your wedding, you've
9:40
Speaker 1: told her that she needs some appearance makeover.
9:42
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, I have. But I only did it after
9:45
Speaker 2: I seen Simon Cowell and Paul Abdul on the American Idol. Like,
9:51
Speaker 2: tell this one woman, yeah, your butt, everything's bad. You know,
9:55
Speaker 2: your voice is bad. Your butt's too big. Everything. How
9:59
Speaker 2: come I'm not allowed to, but they get to? I'll
10:03
Speaker 2: tell you why. Because it's wrong, and that will cause
10:08
Speaker 2: domestic violence, in my opinion.
10:10
Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned you went and got your girlfriend left,
10:12
Speaker 1: and you went and, quote, got her. Did you force
10:15
Speaker 1: her back?
10:16
Speaker 2: Well, no, no, I'm not, I didn't be, I wasn't
10:19
Speaker 2: violent with her.
10:20
Speaker 1: No, but I mean, you went and got her. Did
10:21
Speaker 1: you force her to come home with you?
10:23
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, yeah, I mean, because I told her,
10:25
Speaker 2: but she thought she wanted me to, see? She wanted
10:28
Speaker 2: me to force her to come home because she knew
10:30
Speaker 2: that what I.
10:32
Speaker 1: Said was correct. All right, 1-800-449-8686. Dave Oliva, studying to
10:40
Speaker 1: be a Los Angeles police officer. He's going to, you're
10:42
Speaker 1: not in the police academy yet, though.
10:44
Speaker 2: I'm sorry?
10:45
Speaker 1: You're not in the police academy yet.
10:46
Speaker 2: No, sir, I'm not.
10:47
Speaker 1: All right, here is Jessica.
10:49
Speaker 2: Go ahead.
10:50
Speaker 1: You're on the Phil Henry Show with Dave Oliva. Jessica?
10:53
Speaker 2: Hello. Yes, ma'am.
10:55
Speaker 5: I am calling, I don't agree with you with what
10:58
Speaker 5: you're saying. The fact that this is a television show
11:02
Speaker 5: and these people are trying to make it famous and
11:04
Speaker 5: they need to be, I mean.
11:06
Speaker 6: I know that they shouldn't be told that type of stuff.
11:08
Speaker 5: That isn't right. But you as a man should not
11:12
Speaker 5: tell your wife or your girlfriend.
11:13
Speaker 2: How come they get to say it though? See, that's
11:15
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. How come they get to say it?
11:17
Speaker 6: Because that's what they get paid for. You don't get
11:21
Speaker 6: paid to do that. They get paid to do that
11:24
Speaker 6: kind of stuff.
11:25
Speaker 2: I bring home the money. Well, I don't actually bring
11:27
Speaker 2: my wife's work in mostly now, but... Oh. Well, what's
11:31
Speaker 2: the matter with that?
11:33
Speaker 5: No, I'm talking about that is a reality show.
11:38
Speaker 2: Right, reality. Reality.
11:41
Speaker 6: It's for entertainment.
11:43
Speaker 5: I don't like American Idol, but it's for entertainment. It's
11:47
Speaker 5: not for people to take things from. You don't take
11:51
Speaker 5: anything what Survivor does.
11:54
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, sure you do. Sure you do. You can
11:56
Speaker 2: learn a lot on the Survivor show about eating. You
12:00
Speaker 2: can eat dirt if you need to.
12:02
Speaker 5: No, no, no.
12:02
Speaker 2: It's entertainment. That's ridiculous. What do you mean it's entertainment?
12:05
Speaker 2: Let's do it. For my entertainment, women stand up there
12:07
Speaker 2: and let guys tell them their butt's too big.
12:10
Speaker 6: It's not. They are going to try to make a
12:13
Speaker 6: thing in the celebrity world.
12:15
Speaker 2: See, you can't argue against that.
12:17
Speaker 1: No, but wait a minute.
12:18
Speaker 3: Yes, I can.
12:19
Speaker 1: Jessica's saying that those women need to take that kind
12:22
Speaker 1: of criticism in order to become successful.
12:25
Speaker 2: Exactly. And women need to take criticism from their husbands
12:28
Speaker 2: in order to be presentable at the wedding, which will
12:30
Speaker 2: come in June after the harvest. What?
12:33
Speaker 6: No, that's disrespectful.
12:35
Speaker 2: No.
12:35
Speaker 6: What if she told you just that?
12:37
Speaker 2: Oh, my God. This is a total stranger telling you
12:39
Speaker 2: your butt's too big, but your husband can't say it
12:41
Speaker 2: because he's being disrespectful? Well, how come a total stranger can't? Right.
12:46
Speaker 6: That's because they know that they're going to be up there,
12:49
Speaker 6: and that's the type of stuff that's going to be
12:50
Speaker 6: said to them. But you're her husband, and you need
12:54
Speaker 6: to tell her she's beautiful and you love.
12:56
Speaker 2: Her no matter what.
12:59
Speaker 6: What if she told you you were fat?
13:01
Speaker 2: She would not say that. I'm the man. I'm the man.
13:04
Speaker 2: She will not say that to me.
13:06
Speaker 5: You're the man?
13:07
Speaker 2: I'm the man. She will not say that to me. Oh, yes,
13:10
Speaker 2: she will.
13:11
Speaker 4: What?
13:11
Speaker 2: Oh.
13:11
Speaker 1: All right. Look, here's a question for you, Dave. You
13:15
Speaker 1: are saying that the American Idol show is criticizing women.
13:21
Speaker 1: Why can't husbands have the same right?
13:23
Speaker 2: Exactly. Why can't a husband say to his wife, hey,
13:26
Speaker 2: why don't you get your face like there's pimples and stuff?
13:29
Speaker 2: You know, no, we can't do that because American Idol
13:31
Speaker 2: gets to do it.
13:32
Speaker 1: All right.
13:34
Speaker 2: What are you squealing for, baby?
13:36
Speaker 6: That is ridiculous.
13:37
Speaker 2: That is ridiculous. What?
13:39
Speaker 6: I cannot even believe you're saying that. You look like
13:42
Speaker 6: you're in a barnyard, man. Are you a male chauvinist pig?
13:44
Speaker 2: You're the one squealing like a pig, not me.
13:46
Speaker 1: All right, okay, okay, hold on.
13:47
Speaker 2: You're squealing like a pig. You're squealing like a hoglet.
13:50
Speaker 5: Oh, you're a jerk.
13:51
Speaker 2: No, you are. You're going, yee! You're a jerk. I'm
13:54
Speaker 2: a jerk?
13:55
Speaker 5: You're a jerk.
13:55
Speaker 2: How can I be a jerk when I'm saying I
13:58
Speaker 2: want the same rights that Simon Cowell has, but you
14:00
Speaker 2: won't let me have that?
14:01
Speaker 5: Unbelievable.
14:03
Speaker 6: You can't even answer the question.
14:05
Speaker 2: You can't tell you you're fat?
14:08
Speaker 6: Is that what you're saying?
14:09
Speaker 2: No, this is about women who get on American Idol
14:11
Speaker 2: and are pulled at their butt's length.
14:13
Speaker 6: Men get on American Idol, too.
14:15
Speaker 2: Not that many. Yes, there are.
14:18
Speaker 6: Who won American Idol the last three times?
14:21
Speaker 2: That girl did last time. Hello? God, man.
14:24
Speaker 6: No.
14:24
Speaker 2: Yeah.
14:25
Speaker 6: I believe Ruben Stutter or whatever.
14:27
Speaker 2: No, man.
14:28
Speaker 6: And then Clay Atkin or whatever.
14:30
Speaker 1: And then Kelly Clarkson. It was a girl last year.
14:32
Speaker 1: I forget her name.
14:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, like Shemeika or something, man.
14:37
Speaker 6: But the men have won.
14:38
Speaker 2: I've got to take a break, Jessica.
14:39
Speaker 1: Men are on there. I've got to take a break, Jessica.
14:40
Speaker 1: Thank you for calling 1-800-449-8686. Why do women allow total
14:46
Speaker 1: strangers on American Idol to speak to them disrespectfully about
14:49
Speaker 1: their weight, their appearance, their voice? and yet they won't
14:51
Speaker 1: allow their husbands the exact same right. 1-800-449-8686, Phil Henry Show.
14:57
Speaker 1: Phil Henry Show, 1-800-449-8686. I'm starting to be LAPD. That's right,
15:01
Speaker 1: I'm going to be LAPD.
15:03
Speaker 2: Hey, how do you like me now? How do you
15:06
Speaker 2: like me now?
15:40
Speaker 4: 1-800-449-8686.
15:41
Speaker 1: The Phil Hendry Show is back. Did you go on
15:46
Speaker 1: the website, David?
15:48
Speaker 2: Yes, I did. And on the website, okay, the year
15:52
Speaker 2: that Ruben stuttered, like, he didn't win. He lost. Okay,
15:57
Speaker 2: so I don't know what these women are talking about.
15:59
Speaker 2: Most of the finalists are females. And, like, you know,
16:04
Speaker 2: I just think it's wrong that they're... letting us have
16:10
Speaker 2: a message that they'll stand there and have a smile
16:14
Speaker 2: on their face when Simon Cowell or the Jackson brothers
16:19
Speaker 2: or whatever, I mean, the guy's name.
16:22
Speaker 1: It's called Randy Jackson.
16:23
Speaker 2: Randy Jackson tells them, yeah, you know what? You'd be
16:27
Speaker 2: really great if your butt wasn't the size of a
16:31
Speaker 2: basketball court. To me, that's ridiculous. And then when I
16:35
Speaker 2: try to say it, I'm called a pig and a
16:38
Speaker 2: male chauvinist pig.
16:41
Speaker 1: Well, you articulated very well what your point is, Dave Oliva.
16:45
Speaker 1: But this has to do with your career as a
16:46
Speaker 1: police officer because you want to learn about domestic violence, right?
16:49
Speaker 2: Yes, sir. What prompts it? I think American Idol is
16:51
Speaker 2: going to have a lot of people get their... A
16:54
Speaker 2: lot of women will be beat up because of that show.
16:57
Speaker 1: Okay, 1-800-449-8686. Alexis, go ahead. You're on the air with
16:59
Speaker 1: Dave Oliva.
17:00
Speaker 2: Go ahead.
17:04
Speaker 7: Hi there. First of all, he just made a comment
17:06
Speaker 7: that women are going to be beaded up. I think
17:09
Speaker 7: right there that kind of tells all your callers that
17:12
Speaker 7: this man does not know what he's talking about. I
17:14
Speaker 7: don't think that the American Idol show gives anyone the
17:17
Speaker 7: idea that it's okay to disrespect women in any manner.
17:22
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? I mean, what does Simon Cowell do?
17:25
Speaker 7: Can I please talk without you interrupting me?
17:27
Speaker 2: Okay, I thought we were having a conversation. I didn't
17:29
Speaker 2: know you were giving a speech.
17:30
Speaker 1: Excuse me?
17:31
Speaker 2: I didn't know you were giving a speech.
17:32
Speaker 7: You had your chance.
17:33
Speaker 6: Now it's my turn.
17:34
Speaker 2: If you're giving a speech, let me go get my popcorn.
17:35
Speaker 2: You had your chance. Now it's my turn, okay? Can
17:37
Speaker 2: I pop some popcorn?
17:39
Speaker 7: What does that mean? As a performer myself and someone
17:45
Speaker 7: who has auditioned for American Idol, going into that competition,
17:49
Speaker 7: I knew that, and this is the entertainment business, that
17:53
Speaker 7: is what they are going to do because... So much
17:57
Speaker 7: of the entertainment, of course, is based off of what
17:59
Speaker 7: people look like. Let's look at Britney Spears. Let's look
18:02
Speaker 7: at Jessica Simpson.
18:03
Speaker 1: Hold on for a minute. Alexis, hold on. What are
18:06
Speaker 1: you doing?
18:07
Speaker 2: I'm sorry?
18:07
Speaker 1: What are you doing?
18:08
Speaker 2: I'm opening up a can of soup.
18:10
Speaker 1: Will you listen to the caller, please?
18:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, she said to me, you know, yeah, you have
18:15
Speaker 2: to listen to me. So I thought I'd get some
18:17
Speaker 2: soup going.
18:18
Speaker 7: I'm not worried about him in any manner. I want
18:20
Speaker 7: your listeners to listen to what.
18:21
Speaker 2: I need to say.
18:22
Speaker 1: I want to ask you, Alexis, you were a contestant
18:23
Speaker 1: on American Idol.
18:24
Speaker 3: Yes, I was.
18:25
Speaker 1: And were you out of which state? What part of
18:27
Speaker 1: the country were you in?
18:28
Speaker 7: I went to Cleveland, Ohio, but I'm from New York.
18:30
Speaker 1: All right. And you went to the audition, and you
18:34
Speaker 1: experienced this critique, did you not, from these people?
18:39
Speaker 7: Yes, I did, but not nearly what you see on television.
18:43
Speaker 1: Hold on a minute. I need for you to stop
18:46
Speaker 1: opening that can.
18:48
Speaker 2: I'm opening up a can of chicken broth.
18:49
Speaker 4: God.
18:51
Speaker 1: Go ahead.
18:52
Speaker 7: Okay.
18:53
Speaker 2: Why doesn't she sing to prove it?
18:55
Speaker 1: Will you let me talk to her, please, sir?
18:57
Speaker 2: All right.
18:57
Speaker 1: So you went through this critique, not with Simon Cowell
19:01
Speaker 1: or these people. It was a lesser board of people.
19:03
Speaker 1: Is that it? Yes.
19:05
Speaker 7: The producers of the show are the ones that actually
19:08
Speaker 7: audition you first.
19:09
Speaker 1: I got you.
19:09
Speaker 7: You have to get through rounds of them in order
19:11
Speaker 7: to get to Simon.
19:12
Speaker 2: Why don't you sing to prove that you were there?
19:16
Speaker 1: Let me speak to her.
19:18
Speaker 2: You know she said she was but.
19:21
Speaker 1: Can you sing alexis oh.
19:23
Speaker 7: Of course i can sing but do you really need.
19:25
Speaker 1: To sing right now just a little just a little
19:27
Speaker 1: something like uh just three lines from your favorite song
19:34
Speaker 1: you know let's want me to just suggest.
19:36
Speaker 7: One um pick a song i'm trying to think of
19:39
Speaker 7: something that i can.
19:39
Speaker 1: Sing who's a favorite artist of yours I'm.
19:42
Speaker 7: Trying to think. I'm definitely a Britney fan, but I'm
19:44
Speaker 7: trying to think of something.
19:45
Speaker 8: Else I could sing for you.
19:46
Speaker 1: How about that song that I like, that little ballad
19:47
Speaker 1: she did, Sometimes I... You know that one?
19:50
Speaker 2: Oh, goodness.
19:51
Speaker 1: You don't like that song?
19:52
Speaker 7: How about I sing.
19:53
Speaker 2: Why don't you sing what you did at the tryout
19:55
Speaker 2: to prove that you really... Will you let me.
19:57
Speaker 1: Talk to her?
19:57
Speaker 2: Go ahead. Oh, my Lord.
20:00
Speaker 7: Okay.
20:02
Speaker 8: I've been doing my own thing. Love has always had
20:07
Speaker 8: a way of having bad timing. But to my great surprise,
20:13
Speaker 8: as ever since I looked in your eyes, I've had
20:18
Speaker 8: one question for you.
20:22
Speaker 1: That's beautiful. Is that okay for now? That's beautiful.
20:24
Speaker 2: Mr. Henry, I think you're... First of all, she's white,
20:27
Speaker 2: and she's trying to sound like she's dark.
20:29
Speaker 1: Secondly, would you please.
20:32
Speaker 8: I'm a lotto, actually, to be honest.
20:33
Speaker 2: Okay, and the other thing... How big is your butt? Okay,
20:36
Speaker 2: let's ask questions like that because that's what they ask him.
20:40
Speaker 7: Can I ask him a question?
20:41
Speaker 1: Does he have a six-pack?
20:42
Speaker 7: Is he a model? Because I'm sure that you're not.
20:44
Speaker 2: Someday I do. I want to be LAPD. I want
20:47
Speaker 2: to be LAPD, so I think I'm ripped.
20:48
Speaker 7: It doesn't mean that you're a model, sweetheart. It doesn't
20:50
Speaker 7: mean that you're a model and that you're anything to
20:52
Speaker 7: look at because by what you're saying today and how
20:55
Speaker 7: you can't speak proper English, that's telling me that you
20:58
Speaker 7: don't have that much going for you.
20:59
Speaker 2: I want to be ripped because I want to be LAPD.
21:02
Speaker 1: All right, thanks.
21:04
Speaker 2: 1-800-449-8686. Be right back.
21:04
Speaker 1: World famous Phil Hendry Show. The Phil Hendry Show.
21:07
Speaker 4: 1-800-449-8686.
21:07
Speaker 2: Extremism.
21:44
Speaker 7: 1-800-449-8686.
21:44
Speaker 1: The Phil Hendry Show is back. Dave Oliva with me.
21:49
Speaker 1: Dave is studying to be a police officer. He's on
21:52
Speaker 1: the line with me talking about American Idol, a program
21:54
Speaker 1: that he believes encourages violence against women. And the reason
21:59
Speaker 1: why you say that, Dave, and I'm going to try
22:00
Speaker 1: to articulate it for you if you don't mind, because
22:01
Speaker 1: that last lady, you used a word that was bad grammar.
22:05
Speaker 1: You said beat it up, beat it it up.
22:08
Speaker 2: Well, okay, I mean, I'm not getting paid as an LAPD.
22:12
Speaker 2: If I become an LAPD, I'm not going to be
22:14
Speaker 2: paid if I don't use good English. You know, I'm
22:18
Speaker 2: being paid to protect the lives and the safety of
22:20
Speaker 2: the citizens of Los Angeles, California, okay? All I'm saying
22:25
Speaker 2: is I don't need my job made tougher as an
22:28
Speaker 2: LAPD officer by American Idol. telling guys to go out
22:33
Speaker 2: there and tell their woman that her butt's huge and
22:37
Speaker 2: she's probably got a pimple on it she needs to
22:39
Speaker 2: pop and.
22:40
Speaker 1: They don't say that man they don't say that at
22:43
Speaker 1: all okay now you're on their.
22:45
Speaker 2: Website yeah I am on their website right now Mr.
22:47
Speaker 2: Henry it says here be prepared for very personal questions
22:50
Speaker 2: and comments about your and there's the three things about
22:53
Speaker 2: your vocal ability about your appearance and about your personal
22:57
Speaker 2: hygiene and what does that mean it means your breath
23:01
Speaker 2: how your armpits smell, you know, feminine areas and stuff.
23:09
Speaker 2: I mean, okay. And yet a total stranger named Simon
23:12
Speaker 2: Cowell can tell that girl that we were just talking to, Alexis, hey, yeah, God, man.
23:18
Speaker 2: There's some FDS in the bathroom.
23:20
Speaker 1: He doesn't say that. They don't even go there, man.
23:23
Speaker 2: Well, but that's what they're saying on the website, is
23:26
Speaker 2: maybe they can, you know?
23:27
Speaker 1: And no, they're not, dude. They're saying it's a professional
23:30
Speaker 1: review of your performance, and stage presence includes the way
23:36
Speaker 1: you look and the way you dress.
23:38
Speaker 2: 1-800-449-8686.
23:38
Speaker 1: David, go ahead. You're on The Phil Henry Show.
23:42
Speaker 4: Hey, Phil, it's my second night listening to you. I
23:44
Speaker 4: just cannot figure out where you are getting these morons from.
23:48
Speaker 4: This guy is so stupid, man.
23:51
Speaker 2: Oh, you really sound like a brain surgeon yourself, man.
23:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're going to sit there and you're going to
23:55
Speaker 4: tell me you want to be an LAPD officer, and
23:57
Speaker 4: you can't even distinguish the difference between a talk show.
24:01
Speaker 4: And reality, are you that stupid, man?
24:03
Speaker 2: Hey, dude, it's called a reality show. Yeah, okay.
24:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, those people put under the gun because they're wanting
24:09
Speaker 4: a contract. They're going to take that abuse, okay? They
24:12
Speaker 4: realize that.
24:13
Speaker 2: Well, why don't they take that abuse in a marriage, man?
24:15
Speaker 4: What you need to realize is that you need to
24:18
Speaker 4: straighten up. If it's not such.
24:20
Speaker 2: Reality, man, how come they get paid and how come
24:22
Speaker 2: they get rich? Are you telling me that's a fantasy, too?
24:24
Speaker 4: No, that might happen.
24:26
Speaker 2: Excuse me, I think I scored one, man. Oh, yeah,
24:29
Speaker 2: I think I scored one, man. In other words, in
24:31
Speaker 2: your mind, man, it's all fantasy when they get paid
24:33
Speaker 2: and they get wealthy.
24:34
Speaker 4: Hey, they all don't make it.
24:37
Speaker 2: The one that does, man, they had to take the
24:38
Speaker 2: same grief, dude. And that guy's telling her, yeah, man,
24:41
Speaker 2: why don't you try douching him?
24:42
Speaker 1: No, he does not.
24:43
Speaker 2: Oh, man, come on.
24:44
Speaker 1: No, he does not.
24:45
Speaker 2: Listen, listen.
24:46
Speaker 4: Forget about that for a second. You're wanting to be
24:48
Speaker 4: a police officer, and you don't have any better sense
24:50
Speaker 4: than to say something like that.
24:52
Speaker 2: Are you a police officer?
24:53
Speaker 4: I was a constable for three years.
24:55
Speaker 2: In what, England or something?
24:57
Speaker 4: Oh, come on, man.
24:58
Speaker 2: What do you mean a constable, man?
25:00
Speaker 4: You take the same test that you're taking, and you're
25:03
Speaker 4: basically a part-time police officer.
25:05
Speaker 2: They don't call them constables in America, man. That's why
25:08
Speaker 2: I know that.
25:08
Speaker 4: That's why they call them.
25:09
Speaker 2: You're lying, man.
25:11
Speaker 1: In some areas they call them constables, yes.
25:12
Speaker 4: They don't even know what you're talking about, man. When
25:14
Speaker 4: you take that psychological test, they find out you're dumb
25:17
Speaker 4: as a rock. They're not going to let you be
25:19
Speaker 4: a police officer.
25:20
Speaker 2: Hey, whatever, man. Hey, guess what? Hey, rent-a-top. Yeah.
25:24
Speaker 4: That's what you was, man.
25:25
Speaker 2: No, listen, man. That's what you was, dude, and I'm
25:28
Speaker 2: going to be LAPD, man, the best police force in America.
25:31
Speaker 2: You're just jealous, man.
25:32
Speaker 4: You'll never make it. You're living a pipe dream, man.
25:34
Speaker 4: You're living a pipe dream.
25:35
Speaker 2: At least I'm living a pipe dream. You smoke it
25:37
Speaker 2: out of a pipe, man.
25:38
Speaker 4: What's the dude laughing at, man?
25:41
Speaker 2: All right, lookit.
25:42
Speaker 1: Both of you guys, I'm not really sure what your
25:44
Speaker 1: points are.
25:45
Speaker 4: My point is.
25:45
Speaker 1: Lookit, David, you make a very good point when you
25:48
Speaker 1: say it's a game show, but Dave also makes a
25:50
Speaker 1: good point when he says, but that's not a fantasy.
25:52
Speaker 1: They're winning money.
25:54
Speaker 2: Hey, man, did you remember to turn off the yellow
25:56
Speaker 2: light on top of your car?
25:58
Speaker 4: The point I'm making, Phil, is this gentleman, he's going
26:02
Speaker 4: to base his whole way of thinking around a TV show.
26:06
Speaker 4: If he cannot figure it out any better, he does
26:08
Speaker 4: not need to be a police officer.
26:09
Speaker 2: Okay, let me ask you, are you married, man? Yes, sir. Okay,
26:11
Speaker 2: have you ever told your wife, hey, you know what,
26:13
Speaker 2: your butt's getting kind of big?
26:15
Speaker 4: No way, man, I wouldn't tell her that. I don't
26:18
Speaker 4: want to hurt my wife's feelings.
26:20
Speaker 2: So you live with a woman who's got a gargantuan butt?
26:22
Speaker 4: No, I didn't say I had that problem. But in
26:25
Speaker 4: certain issues, you don't necessarily.
26:27
Speaker 2: Have to pay somewhat. How does it feel to wear
26:29
Speaker 2: a sew-on badge?
26:30
Speaker 4: All right, okay.
26:32
Speaker 1: Well, thanks for your call, sir.
26:35
Speaker 2: 1-800-449-8686.
26:35
Speaker 1: Here is Christina. Go ahead, Christina.
26:39
Speaker 7: Hey, nothing personal against Dave.
26:42
Speaker 4: I'm sure there are cops that have worse grammar than
26:44
Speaker 4: he does.
26:46
Speaker 2: My point is... All of a sudden, everybody here is
26:49
Speaker 2: William F. Buckley, huh?
26:51
Speaker 7: Why focus on American Idol only?
26:54
Speaker 1: There are so many other.
26:55
Speaker 2: Do you know what the word lugubrious means?
26:59
Speaker 8: I'm sorry?
26:59
Speaker 2: Do you know what the word lugubrious means?
27:01
Speaker 1: No, what is that?
27:02
Speaker 2: It means mournful or sorrowful. So I know a word
27:06
Speaker 2: that I use in everyday usage, and you don't. My
27:09
Speaker 2: grammar's bad? You don't even have a vocabulary.
27:13
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to Catherine. Catherine, go ahead.
27:18
Speaker 3: Yes, hi. I was just wondering how you could possibly
27:23
Speaker 3: think that a television show could, like, dictate anything, like,
27:28
Speaker 3: to real life.
27:29
Speaker 2: Because when I watched American Idol and Ryan Seaman and
27:32
Speaker 2: all those people are saying, you know.
27:35
Speaker 1: Ryan Seaman? His name's Seacrest.
27:38
Speaker 2: Okay. Ryan Seacrest is telling all those women, hey... Yeah,
27:43
Speaker 2: you know, your voice is okay, but your butt's too big,
27:46
Speaker 2: your face is all horrific.
27:49
Speaker 3: But so, they are performers, and look, this person is
27:53
Speaker 3: your wife. You are somebody that you are in a
27:56
Speaker 3: relationship with.
27:57
Speaker 2: Right.
27:58
Speaker 3: Someone that you are at home with.
27:59
Speaker 2: Right.
28:00
Speaker 3: Someone that you see in a day-to-day life. Not somebody
28:03
Speaker 3: who's on the television. Not somebody who is packaged as
28:06
Speaker 3: a Britney Spears wannabe.
28:07
Speaker 2: But don't you understand that a total stranger can tell
28:12
Speaker 2: you your butt's too big, but your husband can't?
28:15
Speaker 3: No, your husband can, but you don't have to be
28:17
Speaker 3: a total asshole about it.
28:18
Speaker 2: That's insanity.
28:20
Speaker 3: No, you don't have to.
28:23
Speaker 2: Say, how does your husband say to you, okay, Catherine,
28:26
Speaker 2: you know, your butt's widening out pretty drastically. How does
28:30
Speaker 2: he say that?
28:31
Speaker 3: Hey, maybe, you know, let's go out and, you know,
28:34
Speaker 3: take a couple walks around the block or something, you know?
28:37
Speaker 2: And then you'll say, how come? And then he'll say,
28:39
Speaker 2: because your butt's large?
28:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, then you nip the problem, you know?
28:46
Speaker 2: Get the problem done. Then there's nothing wrong with that.
28:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
28:52
Speaker 2: Because he told you your butt was large.
28:55
Speaker 3: But see, the whole thing about American Idol and everything,
28:59
Speaker 3: you don't have to be a.
29:00
Speaker 2: Total jerk about it.
29:03
Speaker 3: Exactly, and you don't have to.
29:05
Speaker 8: Come off as taking it from the TV show.
29:09
