  Speaker 1: Hey, welcome to another Radio Archive Hour here from the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame Phil Henry Show and philhenryshow.com. Margaret Gray
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: is joining the show today. From the year 2000, October
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: of 2000, she sent a flyer to her neighbors asking
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: not to distribute specific kinds of Halloween candy this year
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: because of her son's allergies. And anyway, she's ridiculous. She
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: says her son's going to break out like it's the
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Black Death or something. Here is Margaret in all of
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: her early years.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Glory.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Margaret Gray joins us from Palos Verdes, and I'm going
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: to be talking to her here about, I know that
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: there's a couple of things going on, Margaret. One of
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: them is, what did Barbara Streisand talk about?
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, there is the Barbara Streisand story, Phil. I
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: don't know if you wanted to see it or not.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Matt Drudge had it. And I'll tell you something, it's
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: a bombshell.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: What is it?
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Well, basically what it is, is Barbara Streisand has weighed in,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: and this is the one we were waiting for. And
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: it was one of those situations where you weren't quite
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: sure which way she was going to go. But she
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: definitely has weighed in. And so for anybody who didn't
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: see the story, there really isn't any need to see
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: the story, Phil. You can just read. I'll tell you.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Well, this is on the Drudge Report, right?
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Yes. And Barbara Streisand is saying vote for Al Gore.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: So people who are on the fence and the rest
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: of you who were going to go... In a different direction,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: the word is, and we've got it definitely now, it
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: is official, Barbara Streisand says vote for Al Gore. So
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: we've got that, and we're very, very grateful to Barbara
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: for that.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: All right, but that's really not what you were coming
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: on the show to talk about. You wanted to talk
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: a little bit about Halloween candy and the dangers of that,
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: because Halloween, what, is tomorrow night, right? Man, and you
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: ought to see the kids at our house.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, children love it, Phil. Can I just start by saying...
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: And I hope I don't get emotional. I'm really... All right.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Well, just take your time.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Eleven years ago, a miracle occurred. Frank and I had
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: a boy. We had a little boy late in life.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Eight pounds, twelve ounces. Jason J. Delmonico. I know you
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: know Jay.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Yes, I do.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: And there isn't a day that goes by that I
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: don't thank God he came into our lives. We knew
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: he'd be special. We saw immediately he was a natural
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: little actor... He did songs. He did skits. He was
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: just wonderful. I saw that. I enrolled him over at
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: the Boulevard Acting Academy in Hollywood, and we signed him
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: with Lorraine Crunn's Academy. And ever since, he's been knocking
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: them dead. And my question is this, Phil. Would you
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: take a beautiful little boy like that, a beautiful, sparkling diamond,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: and defecate on it? And you know what I mean
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: by that, don't you?
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Yes, I know what you mean. What I know... I
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: would not.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Well, listen to this. You know he has allergies.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I know that. I know he's been in and out
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: of the doctor for his allergies, yeah.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: All right. I called 30 different neighbors. Now, we are
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: very fortunate we live in the film colony in Malibu.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: But I'll tell you something. Actors are people, too. Movie
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: stars are just like you, the people that listen to
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: your show, just like you people. They... You know, Frank
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: likes to say they bleed red and they crap brown,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: and they are just like everyone.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: How... Okay, how is Frank?
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: He's good. He's doing much better, too, Phil. Thank you
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: very much.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Because I know he has emphysema, right?
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Yes. Why are you asking?
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: I got a little nervous about the crap brown line,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: I guess, and I wanted to move on.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I'm really sorry, but here's what I want to say.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I called about 30 different neighbors because Halloween is tomorrow night.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: We're very fortunate that we live in the colony. Yes,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: we've got great neighbors. Now, what I needed... is to
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: just give them a heads up on what Jason Jay
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: can and can't have. As you know, he has the allergies,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: and he has an audition, Phil, on Wednesday.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, really?
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Yes. A very big film project.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Good for him. I knew that he was doing the
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: TV commercials. He's doing a film?
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Very big. Rumor is a John Hughes thing. I don't know.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: So what we wanted is a heads up for all
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the neighbors to get on the same page. When he
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: came to their house for Trick or Treat... No peanuts,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: no chocolate, no walnuts, nothing breaded, nothing made with lard,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: only butter or canola oil. Now, I sent this out
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: in a flyer, and I did a follow-up phone call. Now,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: for people who don't know, Jason J. Delmonico's website is JasonJDelmonico.com.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: If he comes to your home to trick-or-treat, the list
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: is on there.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: All right, let me hold on for a minute here.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: You called the neighbors because he's going to be trick-or-treating
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: at their houses.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: And? he can't have peanuts and he can't have uh...
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: because of his allergies yet that's right.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: So i one of the neighbors to get on the
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: trip i wanted to give everybody a heads up i
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: wanted to give everyone full pre halloween alert status so

• 5:16
  Speaker 2: opportunity film i don't want to go to some neighbors
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: house They give him chocolate. He eats it because little
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: boys won't do what Mommy wants. And the next thing
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: you know, his face looks like, God, I don't know what.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: It breaks out. He gets a lot of running sores,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: a lot of oozing pus, and I just.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, so he gets a little bit of
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: an acne reaction or something from the... He.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Gets hives and acne, yes, but it's like an open
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: running sore, not unlike the AIDS virus, but it's not AIDS.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: It's okay.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: I got that.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, darling. I'm just trying to explain to you what.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I understand. So he's got... He has a problem
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: with chocolate, walnuts, peanuts.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: So we're letting the neighbors know, and I thought it
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: was very neighborly. And I told them, heads up, Jason
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Jay can't have this. And by the way, there's a
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: great store on Rodeo. It's called Horvath Confectioners. It has
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: all the candy he likes and all the candy he's
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: not You know, allergic to.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Okay, so you got everybody ready, right?
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, plus he goes into anaphylactic shock when he eats chocolate.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: What is that? There's brain swelling, there's convulsions. So I
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: thought everyone was on the same page. I told them,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: my boy can't have chocolate or peanuts. Guess what? What?
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I get phone calls. No, we're not going to do
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: any dietary restrictions today. I'm sorry, Margaret and Frank, we
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: can't do that. We're trying, but when he comes to
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: the door, this, that. I am telling you, you could
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: have heard my ass slam shut when I heard all
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: of these people telling.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Okay, but they're people who you're saying, you're telling them
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: what to give out.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Yes. I'm telling them that my boy has an audition
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: on Wednesday. I'm telling them that Jason J. Delmont, I
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: don't understand, what's the point?
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: But you can't control what all these people are giving away.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Do they know Jay?
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: They know him, but he's got a mask on, so
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: obviously all the kids are going to be in their costume.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Well, why not do this? Why not go to the
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: door with him and say, you know, this is my son.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I can't do that.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Why not?
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: He's 11 years old, Phil. Mommy doesn't go to the
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: door with an 11-year-old boy.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Well, can he lift his mask up and say, hi,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: this is Jason J. Delmonico. I can't have the.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: No, you can't... Phil, I just told him, this is
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: much easier. Don't give out chocolate.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Well, what about the other kids that are going to
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: be trick-or-treating?
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: He basically goes alone. We don't want him trick-or-treating with
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: other children because some of them know who he is.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: They bother him for autographs, this kind of thing.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: God, what? I mean, how much fun?
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: What?
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Well, how much fun is trick-or-treating when a little boy
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: goes door-to-door by himself?
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Frank and I will be with him.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Frank's in a wheelchair. You're walking with, what, a flashlight?
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I don't know what.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Phil, please don't tell me how to raise my own son.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: I'm not trying to tell you how to raise your son.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: I just... All right, so in other words, the problem is.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: We're getting a lot of pushback. We're getting an awful
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: lot of people saying we can't scan our candy for
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: these dietary restrictions. I got some pretty rude people. And
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: what amazes me is these are all actors. I'm a writer.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I write a daily column. I have a few careers
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: in my hands. And these people say this to me...
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: You could have heard my ass slam shut, and I was.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: I got that. Okay, hold on for a minute.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry?
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Hold the line for a minute. 1-800-449-8686 is our number.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Did she call in, Melissa, to talk about this? I
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: thought she wanted to talk about the Barbra Streisand thing.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Let me get back on the line. Hi, Margaret.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Did you want to talk about Jason Jay and the
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: fact that he can't get candy?
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I think it's important as a mother, yes.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Are you going to write about it?
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, I am.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: All right, 1-800-449-8686. Margaret Gray with us. We were going
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: to talk about Barbra Streisand endorsing Al Gore. Apparently her
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: son has dietary restrictions. He can't have walnuts and he
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: can't have chocolate. And she sent out a flyer and
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: emailed all the neighbors, and apparently they say they're still
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: going to give out chocolate because they can't do that.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know. When you get on the phone with
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: her— excuse me, folks, I have to talk to my producer—
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: I don't want any more references to the running sores
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: on his face. Okay, 1-800-449-8686. This is The Phil Henry Show.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: There is so much at stake, is what she said.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Barbara Streisand said there is so much at stake. Did
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: she come right out and say, oh, we're back. Phil
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Henry Show, 1-800-449-8686. Margaret Gray is with us. She writes
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: the nationally syndicated column A Little Bird Told Me. She
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: has sent out flyers and basically posted on her son
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Jason J. Delmonico's website what kind of candy he can
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: and can't have for Halloween. He is a child actor,
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: and he does have an audition on Wednesday, and if
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: he eats the wrong candy... his face will break out
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: and then he blows the audition. And you said you
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: sent out these flyers to all of the neighbors.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: We live in the film colony.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: That's great. You live in the film colony. But the
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: fact is you sent these flyers out to these neighbors
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: and the neighbors said no.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: We got pushback, Phil, from people who should know better.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I'm an entertainment writer. I do review film and the
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: entertainment field. I would think that they would be a
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: little bit more careful with the way that they, in
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: a very cavalier manner, handled my son. No one will
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: stop my son. My son, Jason J. Delmonico, will not
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: be stopped. And if they think they'll stop him, then
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: they're dreaming.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Stopped?
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Well, I know what's going on. They don't want him
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: to get the part. They have kids of their own.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, come on, man. If they don't want to... Look,
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: if they don't want to have to sit there and
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: separate the candy... We.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Even gave the address of the candy shop that carries
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: the candy he can eat. It's on Rodeo. And they
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: still won't do it.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: All right, let me take some phone calls here. Then
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: I'll ask you a little bit more about Barbra Streisand
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: endorsing Bill Clinton.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: No, no, Al Gore.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, Al Gore, I mean.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Can you believe that? That gives us the guidance we've
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: been looking for.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: All right, let me go to St. Louis on the
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Phil Hendry Show. Hello?
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Hello?
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Yes, ma'am, hi.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: I'm just calling in response to Margaret.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: Margaret?
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: I understand that your son has allergies.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: You got the word that Barbra Streisand is endorsing Al Gore, right?
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: No, but that's not the reason for my call.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: All right. I understand that. I just want to let
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: you know. Okay.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: Well, thank you. And I understand your son has allergies,
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: and I understand that he's a very special little boy,
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: and he's an actor. And, frankly, I'm sorry, but I've
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: never heard of him. And I've also never heard of you.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: You know something? I don't know how many movies you
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: go to.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: I rent a fair number of them.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Rent is one thing, but the new releases, especially a
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: lot of the edgier, independent things.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: That's also not the reason for my call.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: But he is an actor.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: He does have an audition. His face does break out.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: And this is all important to us.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: Okay, now may I say something?
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: I call these people, and I tell them... You know what, lady?
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: Your son's a very special boy. I'm a very special girl.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: I think you are.
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: And if he's wearing a mask, then, you know, how
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: are people supposed to know who he is? And if
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: they do know who he is, maybe they can have.
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: This is what I'm talking.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: They make it easy.
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: Let me speak, or you fool yourself.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not fooling myself. I'm trying to explain to you
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: how it's done with actors.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: You already explained yourself. I'm responding to you.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: He's got an audition on Wednesday.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: Big deal.
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: I build airplanes. I can kill pilots.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Well, whatever. But what I'm saying is... Exactly. Whatever. So what?
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: He's got an audition. He needs special candy.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: All right, let me ask you a question. Is he
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: supposed to go in... And then give.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: Him a huge box of his special candy.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Is he supposed to go in and audition for John
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Hughes with an open, gaping, running sore on his cheek?
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Is that what you want?
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: He's not going to have that. That's your job as
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: a mother.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm doing my job. I'm doing my job.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: How do you figure you're doing your job, Margaret?
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: By.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Telling these people Jason J. Delmonico is coming. He'll be
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: there around 8.15. Make sure the candy's acceptable.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: Can you tell him what he's dressed as? He's going
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: to be such and such. Can you have one piece
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: of candy for him?
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Have you done anything to compromise with these people? No,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: you don't understand. He's an actor. You use a rivet gun.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: There's a difference.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: There is no difference between him and any other little
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: boy with allergies. He's a little boy.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: But he stands to make a pantload in this John
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Hughes movie if he doesn't have the gaping sore.
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: Okay, can you tell them?
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: Can you compromise with them? Can you say he's coming
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: as such?
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Why can't you say that, you know, my boy is
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: coming and he has allergies?
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Because that means that they have to only give him
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: one or two pieces. Like any child, he wants a handful.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: He wants to reach into the bowl and dig into
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: it like any child would want to. He wants to
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: shove his face into it. But no, you're proposing... Here's.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: Another compromise, maybe. You know, here's another compromise. You go
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: out and you buy the candy and you go to
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: each house.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Did you see the drudge report?
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: What?
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Did you see the drudge report on Barbra Streisand?
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: She already said no, she didn't.
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: I don't care about Barbara Sprague.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I don't understand that.
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: Can you go to his candy shop and buy him
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: a huge box of candy and individually wrap it up,
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: give a handful to each house and say, can you
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: give my son this?
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: He'll be coming.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: He's dressed as, I don't know, Batman, for instance.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: No, you can't.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: And when Batman shows up.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: No, I can't do that. No, none of that. Why? Why?
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Because I can't and I won't. He's Jason Gabriel Monaco.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Because you won't? I will not.
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: Because everything's about you and you don't know how to compromise?
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: My neighbors are stealing his youth away from him.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: No, you are stealing his youth away from him.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: They will not scar his.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Your neighbors are not doing this on purpose. They're simply.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: They're going to scar his face.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: They're not going to scar his face.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: And he'll go into shock.
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: You're refusing to allow him to have a happy Halloween.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: The kid is going to have to learn in life.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you have to give. Sometimes you have to take.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: He's an actor. He doesn't have to know that.
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: Of course he does.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: Help humanity.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Thank you very much, ma'am, for your call. Do you
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: understand here? that you can't ask these people.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I did ask them. Get the right kind of candy.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Jason can stick his hand into the big bowl of
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: the grab bag. He won't have to stand there like
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: some poor, pathetic urchin on the streets of Bombay with
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: a skinny hand he's holding up. Oh, can I please
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: have a piece of candy? Could I please have this?
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Or can I please have that? One or two pieces.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: No, no, no.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Doesn't work that way.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Well, it's going to have to start working that way
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: if these people don't give your boy candy, because I
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: don't know where this guy is going to start trick-or-treating.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Virginia on the Phil Hendry Show.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Hello.
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought my call would have some substance, but
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: after that last interchange, I realized what I'm up against.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: And this lady is crazy.
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: I'm glad you've learned.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: She is crazy. He is fragile. If his Halloween is ruined,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: he won't beat... He's not going to beat the best
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: at the audition, and that's the most important thing.
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: Acting, if acting is that important to you and him,
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: take a night off from trick-or-treating. That's not that important,
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: all right?
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: He's a boy. He's 11 years of age. He should
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: be allowed to have these joys in life. He is.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: He is allowed.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: Why don't you just tell him, go to the houses,
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: get all the candy you can get, come home, we'll
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: look through it, and we'll pick out the bad stuff.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Can I ask you a question? Have you ever sat
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: up with a child who's choking on pus?
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Huh?
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: What are you.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: I'm asking the gentleman in Virginia a question. Have you
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: ever had to sit up with a child who was
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: choking on pus?
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: No, and why would he be choking on pus?
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Because people give him chocolate. The inside of his mouth
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: gets inflamed and breaks out. I would be sitting.
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: There watching what went in his mouth after trick-or-treating.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Better still. Take a little responsibility. Yes, for your child, maybe.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Jason J. Delmonico. You know what? I called ahead. My
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: kids don't have allergies, but guess what?
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: I'll still be looking through their candy.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: All right? I look for their candy, but I also
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: call ahead to make sure they're setting out the right
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: kind of candy.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: And what about the kids on that street?
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: And what would you.
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: Do if these people didn't let you know that they're,
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: as you say, pushing back? Maybe you just take it
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: for granted that you're giving them the right candy? Well,
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: I will tell you this much.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: If these people are trying to stop his career, they'll
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: never do it. They won't stop Jason J. Delmonico from
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: becoming a famous actor.
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: I could care less whether he acts again or not.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: They will never stop him. He is inexorably rolling on.
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: Well, if candy is the thing that's going to put
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: him over the edge, just eliminate that.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: They're going to choke him with pus. Forget it.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, stop it already, okay?
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Look, I'm choking for pus.
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: I think you would be the one choking him for pus.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Are you bobbing for apples? It's candy. All right. Crying
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: out loud, it's candy. It is candy, but it's a
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: little boy. They're not feeding him crap.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Well, lookit, you know what you're going.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: To have to do? Phil, why are we talking to
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: these people?
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: You call my show, people call in. That's the way
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: it's played.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: They don't understand about Jason J. Delmonico and how special
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: he is. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. What does
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: your child do?
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: They're both very loving kids.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: What do they do for a living?
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: And they're going to grow up way normal than.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Your little child actor. What do they do for a living?
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: They go to kindergarten.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, there's a big career ahead of them. Yeah,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: all right. Thank you. I hope my kid develops the
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: cure to save your kid, all right? My boy's going
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: to be in a movie.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Thank you, sir, for your call. My boy's going to
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: be in a movie. We got it. 1-800-449-8686. We got
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Margaret Gray on the line. It's the Phil Henry Show,
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: day before Halloween. And she's just letting everybody know what
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: kind of candy Jason J. Delmonico can have. Otherwise, he'll
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: choke on his own pus. It's the Phil Henry Show. 1-800-449-8686,
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Phil Henry Show. Margaret Gray is on the line with us.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: We're talking to her from her home. in Palford. Is
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: that the radio, Margaret?
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hold on for a minute. Jason's doing one of
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: his dance routines for me right now. This is what
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: he does during his audition, Phil, and what I think
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: makes him such a special little boy and a great actor.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: He not only has a little monologue that he prepares,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: and it's the one from On the Waterfront, where I
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: could have been a contender, I could have been someone.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: He also then breaks into moonwalking. Go ahead, honey. Can
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: you hear the music, Phil?
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, can you turn it down?
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Hold on.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: What's he doing now?
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: God, is he talented. He's doing a moonwalk.
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: We need to get this.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Hold on, darling. Mommy will watch you later. Mommy will
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: watch you later.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Marlon Brando, Marlon Brando, Marlon Brando. Yes. Christian Slater, Christian Slater.
• 20:48
  Speaker 8: No.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Marlon Brando, Marlon Brando. Yes. He is so talented, Phil.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: I just, I want to cry when I see him.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: And if anyone, and I want to be as kind
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: as I can, but if I find any parent giving
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: this talented little diamond chocolate, walnuts, or lard-based candy, you
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: know something? Jeffrey Dahmer might have had some good ideas.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: In other words, you'll get violent.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not saying I'll get violent.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Well, that's what you said. God, here is Westlake Village
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: on the Phil Henry Show. Hello.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: Hi, Phil.
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: I just had to call in because I can't believe
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: what I'm hearing.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: You need to turn the radio down, honey.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: I'm a mom.
• 21:35
  Speaker 8: I have an 11-year-old daughter who is very allergic to peanuts.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: My what?
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: Wait, let me finish, please.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, God.
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: She's very allergic. She's going out trick-or-treating with all her friends.
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: I wouldn't dream of letting her go out alone without
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: her friends. I think nothing could be sadder than that. She,
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: I tell her, you don't eat anything until you get home.
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: You don't open anything, you don't touch anything until you
• 21:57
  Speaker 8: get home. She goes out with all her friends, gets
• 21:59
  Speaker 8: all her candy. She comes home, we dump it out,
• 22:01
  Speaker 8: and I take away everything that she's allergic to, and
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: she gets to eat the rest. No problem.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: One big problem with all of this. One big problem
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: with all of this. My son is Jason J. Delmonico.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: He has an audition on Wednesday. As an actor, he
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: has a very fragile sensibility. If I start telling him
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: he can't or he won't, he'll crack. And then he's
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: no good for the casting director on Wednesday. Your daughter,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know what she does.
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: Why can't you just let.
• 22:29
  Speaker 8: Him collect all the candy, and then you dump it
• 22:33
  Speaker 8: out on the floor when you get home, like I
• 22:35
  Speaker 8: do with my child every year, and you take away.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: The things that he can't eat. Turn up the music.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: I don't want to talk to her.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: Wait a minute.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: All right, let's... Turn it down.
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: Put her on hold.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Put her on hold for a minute. Jeez. The woman's
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: still there?
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: Oh, my God.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: Hello?
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I put her on hold. Unbelievable. You better get
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: control over her.
• 22:56
  Speaker 8: I feel sorry for her child that he's got a
• 22:59
  Speaker 8: mom like that.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: So, in other words, what you're basically saying is there
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: needs to be... Take her off a hold just so
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: we can.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Margaret?
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, I'm here.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: What kind of childish crap is that?
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: I beg your pardon?
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: Turn up the music. Mommy doesn't want to talk to
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: this woman.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: She's telling me all about how she does it with
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: her son.
• 23:20
  Speaker 8: Margaret, the world doesn't revolve around you and your child.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Are you done?
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: No.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: I didn't catch that.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Well, I feel so.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: You want to be a child, but you want to
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: be a baby about this is ridiculous.
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: You know, what kind of.
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: I want to be a baby.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: I almost lost him in childbirth. I almost died giving
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: birth to him.
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: You know what? I almost lost my daughter, too, from
• 24:03
  Speaker 8: her reaction to peanuts. I totally understand.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Did you lose her reaction to peanuts? Someone dared to
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: give my son lard-based candy once, and I could have
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: put a fire axe into their shoulder blades.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: But you know what?
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: Then it's your job as a parent to protect your
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: child and not.
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: But don't dictate to your neighbors what they should do.
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: It's not right.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: I don't think you can. Thank you very much. Thank you, ma'am,
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: for your call. Thank you. I don't think you can.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: I think that you're only asking for trouble. Here is
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: Salt Lake City on the Phil Hendry Show.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Hello.
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: Hi, Phil.
• 24:38
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: I want to ask Margaret, what's she going to hand out?
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, we're going to be out that evening. I'm going
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: out with Jason Jay, and his father, unfortunately, has emphysema.
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: Well, I'm sorry to hear that, but you can't tell
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: people what to hand out. I can't go around to
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: my neighborhood and say, hey, you've got to hand out this,
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: and you can't hand out that.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Is it a crime that my son is not allergic
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: to only the best candy?
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: Well, my son's allergic to certain types of candy, too,
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: but I.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: No, no, no.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: What I'm saying is my son is not allergic to
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: hard candy, but he needs the best.
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: Well, then go and buy him a big load of
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: hard candy, bring it home, and then whatever he gets,
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: you can throw out.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: But what about trick-or-treating? Well, he can still.
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: Go and have fun, but you're just going to have
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: to throw away a lot of the candy.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Then I will mess with his sensibility. He's fragile.
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: Well, a lot of kids are fragile, but they just
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: have to get over it. That's the best way for
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: them to learn.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: He's an actor.
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: What does it matter if he's an actor?
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: They're the most fragile. Are you kidding? This is a
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: mother's pride. Come on out, darling. Do the moon dance.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: He's moonwalking.
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: Hey, hold on.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Big deal he's moonwalking. You know how old that is, man?
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Moonwalking's about 18 years old.
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: He's got to get a new dance.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: How dare you? How dare you? He's going backwards. Margaret.
• 26:03
  Speaker 8: Margaret, you've got to get a hold of yourself.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: That's really great. Here is Saratoga Springs on a Phil
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: Henry show.
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: Hello.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: Saratoga Springs, hello? I know, is there... Oh, line two,
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: excuse me. Saratoga Springs, hello? Hello, can you hear me now? Yes,
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, we had you on the wrong thing.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: The moonwalk is a classic.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: Pardon me?
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Do any of your children moonwalk, dear?
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: I'm a grandmother at this point.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: You had to think about that, though, didn't you?
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: Oh, I didn't. I'm very proud of the four of them.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: But I wanted to tell you that I understand anaphylactic
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: shock because I've had one. So I can sympathize with
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: Jason J. DeMonaco. No, no, no, not DeMonaco.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Delmonaco. Delmonaco.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: Delmonico.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Delmonico.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: All right. Well, I do sympathize with you as a
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: mother and his having an anaphylactic shock. However, if I
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: were one of your neighbors, I would have you arrested
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: for child abuse if you let your child go out
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: trick-or-treating and subjected him to such a chance of anaphylactic shock.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: That's why I call the neighbors ahead of time.
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: No, I said I would have them have you arrested
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: for child abuse. if you let that child go out
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: with any chance at all that he would have an
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: anaphylactic shock.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: That's why we call ahead and tell the neighbors to
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: have the right kind of candy. Hello? Don't you... Oh, God,
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: she hung up. Are we going to get into the George...
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: the Al Gore.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, what did you want to
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: talk about? What are you going to do with this kid?
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: I want to get a... I want to write... What
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: are you going to do with this boy tomorrow night?
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: We are going to go door-to-door... And he'll take the
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: candy gleefully, shove it into a bag, come home with it,
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: tear it open with glee, and shove it into his mouth.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: And we will have the greatest of trust and knowledge
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: that none of our neighbors would dare mess with Jason J. Delmonico.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: And if, perchance, later in the evening, his face breaks
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: out like it's another wave of the Black Death, there's
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: a few actors in this town who better be afraid,
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: very afraid.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: You'll take the chance of having his face break out like,
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: as you just put it, the Black Death to keep
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: his little sensibility intact so Mommy doesn't go door-to-door looking
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: at the candy.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: I sent out the flyer. They know what kind of candy.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Start moon dancing. Oh, it's beautiful.
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: But wait a minute.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: All right, I don't know what she's doing. I don't
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: know what she's doing with that kid, but it's scaring me.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, Margaret, of all the.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: A writer, one call, I ruin a career. Now moon dance.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: She's scaring me, man.
