  Speaker 1: the thing when you call it one-on-one. I'm fine with

  Speaker 1: it being called. Well, first of all, thank you for
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: having me on the program. Thank you, Ted. Thank you
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: for joining us. Ted Bell has been a sponsor of
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: my show for over 20 years and was one of
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the first sponsors to come on board when we came
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: out here to California. And I appreciate that very much.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: And you've had your fair share of challenges. Well, yes,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and I thank you, Phil, for the association. It has
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: been a great one. It's been an interesting one. Let
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: me put it that way. Uh, but you know, here's
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: when you call it one on, here's the thing. You
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: have a unique audience, Phil, uh, gosh knows they have
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: been good for me. They've changed the tenor and the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: texture and the flavor of, uh, individuals that come into
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: tens of Beverly Hills. I have a clientele that is, uh, obviously, uh,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: originates many of my customers in the Beverly Hills area.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: And then I've got your listeners who generally are coming
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: in from the outlying, uh, areas and, uh, As you know,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: during the pandemic, I had a lot of these, you know,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: coming in from downtown. Yeah, a lot of these coming
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: in from downtown. A lot of these coming in from downtown,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you're saying these are my listeners? Well, I got to, there's, look,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: why don't we get this on a higher level? Yes,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: let's move it to a, what is the song? Reach
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: at the Higher Ground. Yeah, it's Stevie Wonder. So this
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: was one-on-one, huh? It's going to be one-on-one. Thank you, guys.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: But that was the thing, one-on-one. And immediately we had
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: phone calls at the restaurant yesterday where they heard it
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: was going to be Tedville one-on-one. And they go, oh,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: are you one-on-one? You know, dial tone. Oh, you're getting
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: crank calls.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I often think, and I want to talk to you, Ted,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: about the restaurant and about you, but I often think
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: that some of the more juvenile among my listeners are
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: kind of ratcheted up. They're amped up a little bit.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: They're egged on. When you point it out, you see,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: what does that mean? When you say, oh, is this
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: going to be called one-on-one? Oh, you know, that sounds suggestive.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Then people will crank call the, well, I've had like Phil,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: when I came on board as one of your sponsors,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: some 20, what was it? 19, 1996, 1996. I came
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: on board and I said, you know what? I'm going
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: to roll the dice. This is a brand new show.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that we hadn't heard in the Los Angeles area. And
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: then I said, you know, I'm going to roll the dice.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go ahead and just, you know, eight
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: skate and donate. Daddy needs a new pair of shoes.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: All right, yeah. Thank you. Thanks, bud. And I went
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: ahead and I threw the bones. And, you know, so
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: far it's, you know. So far what? You're making money,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: aren't you? Yeah, I'm making money. But, again, we get
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the crank calls. We get the tee-hee-hee. All right, so
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But I'm going to stick with what
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I said. Phil, but you just, right there, you went, ah,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: this is, I asked my crew not to point those
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: things out, and I would, with all due respect, Ted,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: because I do respect you, please don't, all right, you
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: don't want me to play into the, this is what
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. I think that one of the reasons why
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: my audience, certain members of my audience who get juvenile
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: is because many of my guests, such as yourself, Ted,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: lean on it a little too hard. If it's called one-on-one,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: you gagged up, Mr. and you went, ah, No, I
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: did not gag up, which everybody, I'll fill up. Shut up, bud. Fine.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: God damn.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Uh, you're telling me to shut up? No, I'm not,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: but I'm asking you, Ted, you don't have to, this
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: is what Phil's talking about. You're blaming me for a
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: lot of the juvenile, the juvenile, juvenile ability. No, I'm
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: not blaming you, man. I'm just saying life could go
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: along much, much smoother. Were you not so reactive? And
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I think that, um, You know, there are members of
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: my audience and people in the media who will jump
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: all over someone who is reactive. So if you say,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: all right, Phil, give me a lecture here. I'm not
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: giving you a lecture. I want to talk to you
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: about yourself, your family, the restaurant. But if you say
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: to me, I have crank calls coming in because of
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: one-on-one with Phil Hendry, now you're going to get more
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: crank calls. You know what I'm saying? I understand what
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you're saying. But as my father used to say, stand
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: up for yourself. Stand up for yourself. And you're never
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: going to, you know, you'll stand up for yourself. And
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: you're never going to not, you know, stand up for
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: yourself is what he said. He said something much smarter.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: You know, my father, and I don't think I've been
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: shy in pointing this out, drank. I want to get
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: into this. This is interesting. Ted, you took over the
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: restaurant when? I took over the restaurant on April Fool's,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: believe it or not, in 1990. I was a punk kid.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I knew very little about the restaurant, other than the
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: fact that I had learned at the feet of my father,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Chick Bell, Francis Frank, or Chick Bell. They didn't really
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: call him Frank, though. I noticed that Chick Hearn was
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: named Francis. What's wrong with that? You know what? People
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: always say that, and it kind of tightens my jaws
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: a little bit.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: My father was Chick Bell. Chick Francis Bell. Every time
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I say that to somebody, oh, did you know that
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Chick Hearn? Let me explain to people. I've got to explain.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Chick Hearn was the play-by-play guy for the L.A. Lakers.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: His name was Francis Hearn, but people knew him as Chick. Well,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: that's great. So now every time I, well, all right,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: let's go with that. Go with it, Ted. What is
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: upsetting about that? All right. Are you psychoanalyzing me or something? No,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not, man. I want to find out about you
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: and your life. Oh, okay. So, look. My father, Chick Bell.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: That's the name. You know, my name is Ted Bell.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: And when my father turned over the restaurant to me,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: because he knew that he was in trouble. He was very,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: very sick. Cirrhosis of the liver. He was not in
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: very good health. And he'd been running the restaurant down.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: You know, the profits were The restaurant was in trouble financially,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: my father's health, but he said to me when he
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: was sick during those last days, he said, Ted, look
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: at me. I said, yes, Dad. He said, I'm Chick Bell.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Chick Bell. And he would pound his chest, one, two, three,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: four fingers, and the thumb. You see what I'm doing?
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: You've got four fingers and your thumb, and I'm pounding.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I'm Chick Bell. And he'd say that to me. He
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: grabbed me one morning. As I came in, I had
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: some soup or something that I was serving. I don't
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: know what it was, soup or coffee or something. Or
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: it might have been cereal. I forget. Uh, you don't
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: even know? Easy, General.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: No, no. Yes, I do know. He was my father.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: My father. I know what I was serving him. All right.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Then what was it? It was some slop. I don't know.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Probably it was porridge. It was porridge. Yeah. Uh, porridge.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Oh my God.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Sorry. Sorry. I brought my father something. He came in.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: He said he grabbed one of my, he grabbed me
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: by the shirt. He got a handful of my shirt
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: and pulled me close to him. And he said, I'm
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Chick Bell. And I looked at him, and he said,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: so you get it. I said, sure, Dad. At that time, no,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I didn't. But in the years since, I now understand. Well,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: you call yourself, you often have said to people, I'm
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Ted Bell. Yes, right there. Thank you very much, Phil.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I'm Ted Bell. I'm the son of Chick Bell.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Why is everyone looking at me like I just let
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: some kind of gas go that would kill everything in
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the zoo? No. That's not, we're waiting. We thought there
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: was something more to that. Something more to that? He
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: was Chick Bell. I'm Ted Bell. All right, so meaning
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: you guys have great pride and you have a great,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: great record and reputation with Ted's of Beverly Hills. Yes. Now,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: how did it become known as Ted's of Beverly Hills?
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: My father, throughout his professional life, was known as Ted Sr.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: When I was born, they named me Ted Jr., He
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: was Ted Sr. But his name is Chick. His name
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: was Francis Chick Bell, yes. But he became known as
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Ted Bell. He wanted to be like the guy next door.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: He wanted to sound like a ball player. He wanted
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: it to sound like your friendly neighborhood insurance salesman. He
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: wanted a name that was going to fit on the marquee.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: He wanted a name that was going to look good
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: on a billboard. Chick Bell, Francis Bell. It wasn't going
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: to happen because we had a famous basketball announcer here
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: in the city of Los Angeles named Chick Hearn, play-by-play
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: for the Lakers. So you keep saying. Well, you have
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: to tell people. Wait, wait, Margaret. But you do have
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: to tell people that. Yes, all right. Folks, those of
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: you who don't know, Chick Hearn was a basketball announcer
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: for the LA Lakers. We keep talking about this guy.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: But your father couldn't use that name, Francis Chick Hearn.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, no. Oh, wow, man. You did that on purpose. No,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I did not. Your father couldn't use the name Francis
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Chick Bell. No, he could not because people would immediately
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: associate him. So he made the decision early on when
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: they started the restaurant because they had, you know, Ted's
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: made the decision early on when they had the restaurant
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: back in the early 70s. It opened out near the beach,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: out near Santa Monica as Ted's Let's Meet at the Beach.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Let's M-E-A-T at the Beach.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Okay. Let's meet at the beach. Yeah, it was a
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: small little diner. And they made enough money with that.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: My father said, Beverly Hills is where it's at. Beverly
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Hills will always be where it's at. But from the
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: very early going, it was called Ted's. Yes, because there
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: was no way he was going to call it Chick Bell,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: immediately the association with the basketball announcer. And his name
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: was Francis. So it became Ted's. And, of course, I
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: was named Ted. after the fictitious Ted Bell. Are you
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: actually Ted Jr.? No, no, no, not legally. I'm Ted Bell.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: My father was Chick Bell. But I think that's why,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: as he got older, and as the restaurant was, things
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: got good, and then things began, he began to struggle
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: a little bit with his drinking. He wanted me to
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: remember that his real name was Chick Bell, and that's
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: why I would sit with him, and we'd be watching cartoons.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Can I see some? Go ahead. You watch cartoons with
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: your father? Yes, he watched the cartoons. What do you
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: want from me? We'd watch Crusader Rabbit or something. So
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: this was your father. Was he in a state of...
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say he was senile. I think the alcohol
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: had taken its toll. And he did what a lot
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: of doctors now call the underwater syndrome. He would sit
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: there literally watching these cartoons and going, you know, the
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: finger between the lips. Excuse me. I was going to
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: do that. Wait a minute, bud. Sorry, Ted. Yes, you're right.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: He went, yes, you're right. He sat there going, you
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: know what? I'm not laughing at that at all, Ted.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Why would anybody laugh at it? It is, it sounds tragic.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: It sounds tragic. So But through it all, Phil, he
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: would say to me, he'd grab me by both lapels
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: and pull me close until our noses were touching. And
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: he'd say, who am I? And I'd say, you're Chick Bell.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: And he'd say, you're, excuse my language, Margaret, damn right.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. That's all right. But he would say that,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: you're G.D. Wright. I'm Chick Bell. And I remembered that.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: So that in later years, when people would say, are
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: you really going to make a go of this restaurant?
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: I'd say, guess what? Who am I? I'm Ted Bell.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: And I remember tweeting that one day. I said, I
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: don't want to hit this too hard, but I'm Ted Bell.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: People began to remember. And of course, we have the
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: billboard on the 405. The billboard on the 405 is
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: memorable because there you are with a platter of steaks.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: We want to put our meat in your mouth with
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: the musical signature. By the way, I talked to Lisa Valenzuela. Oh,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: she's the young lady who sings the song. Yeah, she's
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: the voice. Lisa Valenzuela is the voice of The Ted's
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: of Beverly Hills Jingle. Let me tell you about Lisa.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: She has a phenomenal voice. We were lucky to get her.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: And when I say lucky, this was at the very beginning.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: We've just taken over there by father. We were having
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: trouble financially. And I said, let's go for broke. I
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: went back to New York. We got a new slogan.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: We rebranded the restaurant. It was already called Ted's Beverly Hills,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: wasn't it? No, it was Ted's Meat. Yes, it was
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Ted's Let's Meat at the Beach, M-E-A-T. In the early 70s,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: my father moved it onto Rodeo, and it became Ted's
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Beverly Hills. We had a good run through the 70s,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: and then, as they say, my father's alcoholism caught up
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: with him, and by the late 80s, we were ready
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: to shut the doors. And you were how old when
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: you took over the restaurant? I was 27.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: 27.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: 27 years old that's right I had no choice my
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: mother looked at me and as my father lay in
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: that bed and I'll never forget the morning that my
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: father passed my mother called me and she said and
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: all she did was point at the bed and she
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: said that's chick bell and I said mother is father
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: with us and all she do is look and she
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: grabbed me by the lapels and she said it's chick
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: bell chick well can I say something what Be polite, Ted.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: All right, I'm sorry, Margaret. What did that mean, that's
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Chick Bell? She was telling me my father passed on.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Chick Bell. What she did is she looked, she pointed,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: she said, Chick Bell, and then shook her head. And
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: from that, you were supposed to know. Not supposed to.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: From that, I did know my father had passed. I
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: was 27 years old. I had a restaurant that was
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: in debt. And let me tell you something, Phil. Most
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: restaurants in the United States close within six months. You
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: ready for that? I've heard something along those lines. Yeah.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Most restaurants close, folks, within six months. It's a very
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: difficult business. And I said to myself, that was Chick Bell.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: And it took me about two years. But as I
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: got into it, then I eventually said, I'm Ted Bell. Okay.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Just so I know, you were called Ted Bell because
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: your father took on the name Ted Bell because he
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: didn't want to be known as Chick Bell because it
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: reminded people of Chick Hearn, the L.A. Laker... Basketball announcer. Yes, Phil.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: That's right. And thank you for, I appreciate you articulating it,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: but I think all you've done is make it more complicated.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: You just said, yeah, it's so chick. Yeah. Bobby Dooley.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: We got Bobby Dooley, Bobby and Steve Dooley on the phone.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know whether you want to talk to these guys. Yeah,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I'd love to. The Dooley's on the line with us.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: The Dooley's were working at your restaurant. Yeah. Bobby and
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Steve were at the restaurant. telling stories and basically telling
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Phil Henry Show stories going table to table. Bobby, how
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: are you?
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Hi, Ted. We wanted to call in and say hello
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: to you and to celebrate you on this special day
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: of one-on-one. Go ahead, Steve.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Hey, Ted, I want to remind everybody about you and
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: I doing the funny bone. Oh, yeah, yeah. Steve and
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: I came up with the funny bone, which I know
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: angers you, Bobby.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: It's just something that, as Phil has said, it bucks.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Domestic violence well what we've decided anyway what is this well.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: I'd rather i just wanted to play we were happy
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: before you talk to you to do it to.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Me i don't know about funny boat thing like that
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: i can talk about funny bones i think i just.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Wanted to say that we did work at the head uh...
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: and we're really worried working at the heads because we
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: didn't we that but we didn't work for you but
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: a lot of people want to be here bobby and
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: steve duly stories And so we told some about our
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: sons and about the Western States Homeless Association. We went
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: table to table. Right.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: And, you know, And so... Yeah, it was fine. Why
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: did you do that?
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: It was something that we asked Ted if we could do,
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: and we feel that we brought a lot of business
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: into your restaurant.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Well, it was... No, let's be honest, Bobby. You didn't
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: bring a lot of business. It was a little bizarre
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: as you went from table to table. A lot of
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: people didn't know who you were.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: What do you mean, bizarre?
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Goat's face it, honey. It was.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Don't face... What do you mean bizarre?
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: It was weird of you and Steve. Hi, I'm Bobby Dooley.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: That's Steve Dooley. Let us tell you all about the
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Western Estates Homeowners Association and the fact that I walked
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: nude around the neighborhood. People didn't like it. Well, that's... So,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Funny Bone. Yeah, Funny Bone is something that Steve Dooley
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: and I... And I will thank you for this, Bobby.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Funny Bone mocks domestic violence, as you said, Mr. Hendry.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: What is Funny Bone? Funny Bone is we'll say something
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: that we know is going to make the wives angry
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: or we know it's going to be sexist, and so
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: we'll go ahead and pretend like we just took a
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: good sharp shot, you know, Steve.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, took a sharp shot to the ballsicles.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe the ballsicles. To the testicles?
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I know what you're saying.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So I give an example.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: You said, Mr. Hendry, that when I pretended like I
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: was giving Steve the ball shot, you know.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: God, Bobby, watch your leg.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Don't tell me to watch... You said... I thought that you.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Yes, you pretending to do that was mocking domestic violence,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: and it wasn't funny. Well, here, can I just say something, Phil?
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Go ahead. Thank you. This is not the wives threatening us.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: This is just us saying, for instance, this morning, I
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: was talking to my wife, Marcy... And I told her
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: to get out of bed, get downstairs and get some
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: flapjacks because I'm Ted Bell. And then I went, oh!
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: And I'd say she didn't really kick me in the balls.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: She wasn't anywhere in the room. In fact, she's not
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: even in town. Yeah.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Oh my God, you don't even get it?
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: This is the thing, Mr. Henry, that you said you
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: didn't want us, you didn't want me doing anymore.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Well, so what's the point? Forget it then, man. What's
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: the point? What's the point? I just said something sexist.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I said, get out of bed and make me some flapjacks.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: And then I pretended like she took a meat tenderizing
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: mallet and took a Babe Ruth swing right on my
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: ball bag.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, don't you get it, Mr. Henry?
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it, and I still say that it
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: is a mockery of domestic violence, and we don't need it,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: but that's just me. All right, well, this is called
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: One-on-One with Ted Bell.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is One-on-One with Ted Bell, and I think
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: you need to respect what Ted Bell is going to say.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you've got to.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: No yeah-bits at all, Steve.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Well, Ted Bell, you know, so you like that, Bobby?
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Do I like what?
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Do you like these guys pretending like they're wives? You,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: in this case, you like them pretending like you knocked
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: them in the, you know what?
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: Them pretending that I knocked them?
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: No, you knocking me.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Come here.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Ow!
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: She didn't hit me. I didn't really hit him, Mr. Henry.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: What is the point of that? What happened? I had
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: to hang up on these idiots because they're doing that.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I don't like that, Ted. I'm just telling you. Is
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: this called one-on-one with Ted Bell? Yes, it is, but
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that you get to say anything you
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: want to say without me commenting on it. I didn't say...
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: All I said was that when the Dooley's were going
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: table to table... Oh, my God. Hold on. The Dooley's
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: went table to table at Ted's at Beverly Hills. We
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: understand that, Ted. And in so doing, in so doing,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: told a lot of dumb stories, and it didn't, I guess...
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: redowned very well for you. No, it didn't. People were
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: not interested. They were irritated by them. They were coming
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: around while they're trying to eat their dessert or they're
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: digging into a baked potato and there's Bobby sitting down
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: right next to them to say, let me tell you
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: all about the Western. It didn't work out at all. However,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Steve and I would talk And he said, you know,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Bobby and I pretend like she gives me a quick
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: shot to the, you know what, to the Royal American.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: And I go, yeah. And I pretend like, oh. And
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: he said, you know, why do we even need to
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: have the wife around? We could just say, I said
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: something bad. I know my wife would not approve, so
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I'll go ahead and kick myself. And I said, you know,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: it's not a bad idea because I had just had
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: this hassle with Marcy, as you know, Phil. One morning,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: she pretended there had been an earthquake or something. And
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: when I came home, she was spread across the bed.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: She had ketchup poured all over her like she was
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: bleeding because like the ceiling fell on her. And she goes,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I'm only kidding. I thought, you know, that is wrong, Marcy.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: That's so wrong. She says, I'm having a couple of laughs.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: And I said, I don't approve. Now, why don't you
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: get out of bed and go make me some flapjacks?
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: And that's when she walked by and flicked the back
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: of her ear. And that's when she walked by and
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: flicked the back of her hand against my, against your testicles. Yeah.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: And I, you know, it hurt. And I said, that is,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: that could be construed as domestic violence. And she flipped
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: me off and kept on going into the kitchen. So
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: I'm telling Dooley about this. He said, why don't we
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: just go ahead, if we say something sexist, we'll go
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: ahead and pretend like we've slapped our own, you know,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: ball bags. Good God. Well, you know. So in other words,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: give me an example of that. All right. My wife
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Marcy is a... My wife Marcy lays around all day
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: shoving chocolates into her face, reading dirty books. Ow! Ow! There,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I just kicked myself in the ball. She had nothing
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: to do with it. Well, what's wrong with that? What's
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: wrong with that? You are... You are pretending that you're
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: committing an act of violence against yourself because that's what
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: you deserve, because you said your wife is laying around
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: reading dirty books all day eating chocolates. Yeah, and you're
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: even laughing. Well, you know what? I think he's got you, Phil. No,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: he doesn't have me. The whole idea of inflicting violence,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: whether it is pretend violence, whether you're doing it, whether
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: you're pretending to do it, whether your wife is pretending
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: to do it, whether Bobby, whoever it is, is unacceptable
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: and an unacceptable way of dealing with domestic disagreements. Okay? Oh, yes, sir. Hey.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Damn it, sir. You take the fun. You know, I...
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I got to tell you, Phil, I'm glad to be
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: here on one-on-one with Phil Henry, me being one-on-one with
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Ted Bell, but listening to you get on your high horse,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: and you're way up there on your high horse, and
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: you're striding along and galloping along like you're Robert E. Lee,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: and you're going, hey, you know something? You shouldn't do this,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't do that. And as it rides by me
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: and drops about six or seven foul road apples, it's bad.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: There he is laughing. It's the Phil Henry Show, one-on-one
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: with Ted Bell. We'll be right back. One-on-one with Ted

• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Phil Hendry, one-on-one with Ted Bell. Yeah. One-on-one here with
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Ted Bell, and... This is a series of interviews we
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: are doing with prominent members of our community and people
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: certainly that we've featured on our show down through the years.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Ted has joined us, and we've learned quite a bit. Now,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: one of the things that's interesting to me, Ted, is
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: that your relationship with my audience, you, first of all,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: you feel it's been a beneficial one, right? Oh, absolutely
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: it's been beneficial. I think that my association with the
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Phil Henry Show has put Ted's Beverly Hills, it didn't
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: put us on the map, but I think it... You know,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: it didn't put us on the map, but it did
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: make people think of you when they saw me already
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: on the map. You see? Because we had you on
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: the show. Yeah, because you had me on the show,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: and also because I allowed you to have me. And
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I don't think I'm talking out of school here. Oh,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: so you're thinking... Is he talking? Hey, General... Yeah, I'm talking.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you're saying that you are the reason
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: why people know who we are? Look, do I gotta...
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: My father was dying, and he looked at me and said,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: look at me, I'm Chick Bell. Who cares, Bell? You're
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Ted Bell. Yes, well, that's the point. That's the point.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: I'm Ted Bell.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Uh, but what did that mean? God, Phil's
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: sitting here with one thumb and one nostril, the finger
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: and the other nostril going... What did that mean? It
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything. I'm listening to you. Look, let's talk
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: about the relationship between my listeners and your restaurant. It's
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: no secret that when you were advertising early on, I
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: don't know if it got better, that you had a
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: lot of people that you didn't think were classy enough. Well,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: we did not, Phil. When we started advertising on your show,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: we got in a lot of jalopies, a lot of
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: guys in trucks. Uh, you know, people who thought they
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: were really something with the five-speed Camaro would have to say, no,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: you're not, you know, park it on the street. This
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: doesn't go in my lot. You kept people out of
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: your lot who didn't drive, uh, what, Bentleys? No, not Bentleys,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: but I'm not going to have people coming in and
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: pick up trucks. You understand? I'm not going to have people,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not, I'm not going to have my valets work
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: their tails off for no tips parking one of your listeners' trucks,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: you know? See what I'm saying? You got your finger,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: in your nose talking about Phil. Yeah, I do, because
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: my nostril itches. Here, look at this. All right, Ted.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Take your finger out of your nose. Well, people are.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: I got to tell you something, Phil. I'm Ted Bell.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: I know you're Ted Bell. You do? I don't think
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: you do. Because when my father died, and he said,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: I'm Chick Bell. Sorry. Sorry. When my father died, he
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: didn't say anything, did he? I guess he wouldn't. No.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: When my father died, I walked into that room and
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: my mother grabbed me by the shirt, pulled me to her,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: and she said, he's Chick Bell. And I knew what
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: she was saying. Well, what was that? She was saying,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: you're Ted Bell. You are Ted Bell with a phony name.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: I thought he was Ted Sr. To the public, yes,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: he was. The very first restaurant, Ted's Let's Meet at
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: the Beach... And it was a beautiful steak diner, steak sandwiches,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: cups of coffee, right across the street on PCH there
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: at Santa Monica, and then Ted's at Beverly Hills. That
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: sounds like, I wish I was around for that. It
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: sounded like it might have been fun. It really wasn't.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: They got held up a couple of times. And a
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: lot of, my father used to say it was beach trash. Obviously,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: he made a go of it, though. Yeah, the restaurant
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: was very successful. And again, he was able to use
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: the funds from that to start Ted's at Beverly Hills.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: But You know, as he lay dying through no fault
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: of anyone else's but his own, he drank too much.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: He ran through all the money. My mother said to me,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: that's Chick Bell. Well, what do you think she was
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: saying to you when she said that? She was saying,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: look at it. It's Chick Bell. What did that mean
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: to you? It meant that I'm Ted Bell. Come on, Ted.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: What did it mean? I've just told you what it meant.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: That's Chick Bell. And he said to me, I'm Chick Bell. Well,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: was it something you didn't understand?
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Hold on.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Because I'm not getting through to you people. And this
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: is common, Phil, with you. I want to get back
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: to this discussion of my listeners. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: I'm Ted Bell, right? Yes. Yes, we've got that. All right.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: He was Chick Bell. Oh, here's Phil. My listeners came
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: into your restaurant, driving their trucks. You gave them some
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: kind of a... What's Peach Cobbler? Right, and they didn't know.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: They thought Peach Cobbler was the name of... They thought
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Peach Cobbler was the name of a shoe repairman. So
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: this is the problem that I had with a lot
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: of your listeners. Or I'd say, what's Steak Diane? Is
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: that the lady from England? And I'd say, get out.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: You were throwing my listeners out, and we were giving
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: away free passes for dinner. I know it was wrong
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: of me, and we stopped doing it. And after a while,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: I reached an agreement with your listeners. I said, look,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: we'll seat you over near the bathroom until I get
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: to know you. If you come back a second time,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: then we give you a beautiful place on the patio.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: But if I didn't know who these people were, but
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: you knew that they had come into your restaurant because
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: of your advertising, yeah, well, what a thing to do, Ted. No,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: they came into the restaurant because they wanted... Look, I
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: would say to them, if you don't mind, you're new
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: to the restaurant, yes, I'm going to sit you over
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: near the toilet. It's got nothing to do with you.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: but that way I feel better. You know, I'm Ted Bell.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: If they still look dim-witted, I'd say, my father's Chick Bell.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: And if they still looked stupid, I said, right there,
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: that booth right near the toilet, that's yours. And what
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: if they objected? What if they objected? By then, they
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: could have objected. I've already turned and walked away. So
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: what are they objecting to, the air? Ted Bell has
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: been my... We'll leave it at that, Phil. Well, I mean,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: what more is there to say? Ted Bell has been
