Speaker 1: It's the one with... Oh, Jason... Oh, for God's sake.
0:17
Speaker 1: Jason J. Delmonico, you told us... Did you ever tell
0:21
Speaker 1: us that the kid's adopted?
0:22
Speaker 3: Yes, I did, and he may be listening, so let's
0:25
Speaker 3: have some sensitivity. I'm sorry, but it was the first
0:28
Speaker 3: show that you mentioned Jason J... being adopted, and that
0:31
Speaker 3: you guys... How did that movie... You.
0:33
Speaker 1: Know full well... What do I do, bomb? You want
0:37
Speaker 1: to bring this up now, right? Margaret, it's right there
0:39
Speaker 1: in our archive. I'm sorry, man. Not every movie's a hit.
0:42
Speaker 1: It bombed horribly, all right? It stunk. As we say
0:46
Speaker 1: in the business, ladies and gentlemen... Margaret.
0:48
Speaker 3: No, I'm going to finish this. You started it, I
0:50
Speaker 3: finish it. As we say in the business, ladies and gentlemen,
0:54
Speaker 3: it was a smeller.
0:55
Speaker 1: It stunk it out.
0:57
Speaker 2: Whoo, man.
0:58
Speaker 1: This was the movie called The Day Manhattan Died.
1:01
Speaker 2: Yes.
1:02
Speaker 1: Bill Wispy was a comedy writer friend of mine who said,
1:06
Speaker 1: I've got an idea. And I said, what?
1:09
Speaker 3: He said, why don't we write a comedy around 9-11?
1:13
Speaker 3: And I said, my God, my God. At the time,
1:15
Speaker 3: I thought it was brilliant. I realize now.
1:17
Speaker 1: God, are you kidding me or something? That's the dumbest
1:19
Speaker 1: idea I ever heard. But if I want to hear
1:21
Speaker 1: more from you, I'll do this with a hand.
1:23
Speaker 2: Okay?
1:24
Speaker 1: Okay. What am I doing?
1:25
Speaker 3: You're waving toward me, toward you.
1:27
Speaker 1: I'm waving toward me. If I want no more, I'll
1:30
Speaker 1: do this. It's like you're saying stop.
1:32
Speaker 2: Yes.
1:33
Speaker 1: If you're doing too much, I'll do the finger.
1:35
Speaker 3: You mean come hither with the finger?
1:38
Speaker 2: Yes.
1:38
Speaker 1: I'll grab you by your shirt, and I'll begin to
1:41
Speaker 1: squeeze your head. Margaret, pipe down, okay? You're going to say,
1:45
Speaker 1: take it easy or pipe down. I came out type.
1:47
Speaker 2: Yes.
1:48
Speaker 3: I'm just going to tell all of you, we gave
1:51
Speaker 3: it a shot. We had a big party. Jason Jay
1:53
Speaker 3: had a scene that we thought was funny. He plays
1:56
Speaker 3: a messenger boy. He rides up to the smoking ruins
1:58
Speaker 3: of the Twin Towers. He's there to deliver a box
2:01
Speaker 3: of chocolates. He realizes the Twin Towers have been flattened,
2:05
Speaker 3: so he opens up the box of chocolates, starts eating them,
2:07
Speaker 3: and wheels away.
2:09
Speaker 1: Was that it for him in the... I'm sorry? Was
2:12
Speaker 1: that it for him in the movie? Oh, my God,
2:14
Speaker 1: look at Phil.
2:15
Speaker 2: Was that it?
2:15
Speaker 1: Well, Margaret, is that the only thing he did? No,
2:17
Speaker 1: there was a couple of other scenes. But that one,
2:20
Speaker 1: for us, we thought was hysterical.
2:23
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that's... Oh, look at it.
2:25
Speaker 1: Oh, here we go. Now you guys are going to
2:27
Speaker 1: second guess. Look, Margaret, are you kidding me? Comedy around 9-11?
2:31
Speaker 2: Kid rides up. He has a child.
2:33
Speaker 3: I can understand how the humor is there, Ms. Gray,
2:35
Speaker 3: on account of the kid. But, I mean, God damn.
2:38
Speaker 1: God damn what? Hey, watch the language, will you, please? Oh, sure, Phil.
2:42
Speaker 1: We drop F-bombs and S-bombs around here, give each other
2:45
Speaker 1: the finger. Margaret, what are you getting upset for? I'm
2:48
Speaker 1: just sorry that you replayed that.
2:50
Speaker 3: Look, I think people should judge for themselves. It's one
2:53
Speaker 3: of our radio archive hours that is being disseminated and
2:56
Speaker 3: dropped all out there in the whole damn world of,
2:59
Speaker 3: you know, podcasts.
3:01
Speaker 1: What is that supposed to mean?
3:02
Speaker 3: It means that you can find it on a variety
3:05
Speaker 3: of platforms from iHearts to Podcast One to to Spotify,
3:10
Speaker 3: et cetera. These are two extra archive hours that we
3:13
Speaker 3: do every day in addition to our.
3:15
Speaker 1: In addition to the radio, the feature radio archive hour
3:17
Speaker 1: that you do right here. Right, the one you find
3:19
Speaker 1: on our homepage. Well, one of them is you. No,
3:22
Speaker 1: you're the featured archive. Oh, that's good.
3:26
Speaker 2: Hey, take it easy. Ms.
3:27
Speaker 3: Gray, you go into the bathroom if you have to
3:29
Speaker 3: squeeze one off.
3:30
Speaker 1: I'm going to kick someone's... Wait a minute, Margaret, wait
3:32
Speaker 1: a minute. I'll be in the bathroom.
3:34
Speaker 2: Um.
3:36
Speaker 1: Well, all right, enough said about that. It was Jason J.
3:38
Speaker 2: Delmonico.
3:39
Speaker 1: Although, didn't he do the Burger King commercial? Who cares?
3:43
Speaker 1: So welcome to the show.
3:45
Speaker 3: Now, here's the thing, and I owe you guys an explanation,
3:49
Speaker 3: because I'd taken a lot of time off, and I
3:51
Speaker 3: said I had another job to do, I had another
3:53
Speaker 3: job to do, I had another job to do. And
3:54
Speaker 3: I'm actually down through the last six or seven months
3:56
Speaker 3: since I got back to California. I've been very fortunate,
3:59
Speaker 3: and there's been a lot of work outside of just
4:01
Speaker 3: the podcast that we do on camera. And one of
4:07
Speaker 3: them was the TV show, The Paper. There's two episodes
4:09
Speaker 3: of that that I worked on. The second episode will
4:12
Speaker 3: be coming out hopefully very soon. And another show is 9-1-1,
4:16
Speaker 3: where I had the great fortune, and I mean immense fortune,
4:19
Speaker 3: of working with some pretty amazing actors. So I don't
4:23
Speaker 3: want to go into a whole big thing because I
4:25
Speaker 3: don't want to.
4:26
Speaker 1: You don't know what? Look at Phil. I'm sitting here
4:28
Speaker 1: on a toilet listening to this. Okay, why don't you
4:30
Speaker 1: finish what you're doing?
4:31
Speaker 2: Oh, yes, sir. Margaret. Margaret. Here, Ms.
4:35
Speaker 1: Gray, I'll bring it. There's another extra bounty towel.
4:39
Speaker 2: Thank you.
4:40
Speaker 3: Anyway, so yeah, so for three days, it really culminated
4:45
Speaker 3: in a big three-day experience of like 12, 13-hour days.
4:49
Speaker 2: It was nuts.
4:50
Speaker 1: And the show itself, I think the first episode came
4:53
Speaker 1: out last week. I'm in three of them.
4:57
Speaker 3: And also with a very, very talented cat, Rob Hubel,
5:01
Speaker 3: he was just a funny guy. And also he plays the,
5:05
Speaker 3: I think he plays like the city manager or something
5:07
Speaker 3: like that. But anyway, if you know 9-1-1, you know
5:10
Speaker 3: that it's the story of first responders in the city
5:12
Speaker 3: of Los Angeles, a great cast led by Angela Bassett.
5:15
Speaker 1: And they were long working days. That's what I'm trying
5:18
Speaker 1: to get to here. Because that's why you were taking,
5:21
Speaker 1: you know, you're doing a lot of the, yeah, you're
5:23
Speaker 1: doing a lot of encores. Right. And it's going to happen.
5:27
Speaker 1: It's going to happen.
5:28
Speaker 2: And, and, I don't know.
5:29
Speaker 1: We got Tom Dobka is going to call up and
5:31
Speaker 1: rip me an ass.
5:31
Speaker 2: Is that right?
5:32
Speaker 1: Well, Tom Dobka, Mr.
5:34
Speaker 3: Henry, is a radio consultant and he's got some things
5:36
Speaker 3: to say about what are you doing?
5:38
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, isn't that great?
5:40
Speaker 3: So anyway, moving along. So there were, it's a great
5:44
Speaker 3: special effects laden show, great director, great everybody. I just
5:49
Speaker 3: loved working with everyone on that show. And they were
5:52
Speaker 3: very encouraging people and very supportive people. And We shot
5:55
Speaker 3: up in Santa Clarita, some of the stuff, and in
5:57
Speaker 3: Los Angeles one day in L.A. I couldn't believe it, man.
6:00
Speaker 3: They had like five or six, like 20 blocks blocked off.
6:06
Speaker 1: Around the center of the city, around downtown, to do
6:09
Speaker 1: a lot of that stuff.
6:10
Speaker 3: So I don't want to talk too much about it
6:13
Speaker 3: other than the fact that they were, I will tell
6:16
Speaker 3: you this right now, those three days that I did
6:18
Speaker 3: on that set were the hardest three days of work
6:21
Speaker 3: I've ever done in my life.
6:22
Speaker 1: Bullshit. You worked in construction work.
6:25
Speaker 3: I swear to God, there were tougher days than any
6:28
Speaker 3: construction gig I had.
6:29
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding.
6:31
Speaker 3: Because you're in an environment, in an environment, I should say,
6:35
Speaker 3: that there's a lot of special effects stuff going on.
6:38
Speaker 3: The temperature changes from cold to hot. You're standing around
6:41
Speaker 3: on a set and then you're moving and then you're
6:43
Speaker 3: not moving, you're moving and you're not moving for hours
6:44
Speaker 3: and hours and hours and hours on end. And, you know,
6:49
Speaker 3: and then you sit down and you relax.
6:50
Speaker 1: Okay, come on back now. Time to work again.
6:53
Speaker 3: And one of the things about– I would just say this,
6:55
Speaker 3: and I'm not trying to sound like some grand, experienced actor,
6:58
Speaker 3: but this is the thing that I've noticed. They would say, okay,
7:01
Speaker 3: get ready. You know, like, for instance, I– let's go
7:05
Speaker 3: again from the top, you know, whatever.
7:07
Speaker 1: Okay. And wait a minute, Billy, move the camera there.
7:10
Speaker 1: You know, you're waiting to kind of have it start.
7:12
Speaker 2: Right.
7:12
Speaker 1: And you're starting to get tired. And yeah, exactly. He said, okay, okay,
7:16
Speaker 1: get ready. Okay.
7:18
Speaker 3: And move the camera a little bit more. Hey, Phil,
7:20
Speaker 3: could you back up? And, you know, so finally like
7:22
Speaker 3: five minutes and action, bang. Then you go and you
7:25
Speaker 3: hope to God you did the right thing. So all
7:28
Speaker 3: of that is to say that there was a, and
7:31
Speaker 3: as the shows come out, I'll mention more about the
7:33
Speaker 3: people that were involved, but I don't want to, sit
7:35
Speaker 3: here and start dropping names.
7:36
Speaker 1: Why not, Phil? This is exact. I want to put
7:38
Speaker 1: this in my column. I want to put in all
7:40
Speaker 1: the names of the people.
7:42
Speaker 3: You can look up 911 on IMDB or wherever, and
7:45
Speaker 3: you can see the people that are in the show
7:48
Speaker 3: and people that I worked with. And I was really
7:50
Speaker 3: fortunate to work with the star of the show for
7:53
Speaker 3: like all of my time on.
7:57
Speaker 1: The show. You know, you're really, it's interesting, Phil, you
8:00
Speaker 1: get all tongue-tied and stuff when you're talking about this
8:02
Speaker 1: TV stuff.
8:02
Speaker 2: Why?
8:03
Speaker 1: Because everybody gives me crap about it. What do you
8:05
Speaker 1: mean they give you crap about it? They're telling me,
8:07
Speaker 1: what are you taking all this time off for the show?
8:08
Speaker 1: Are you doing all the TV stuff? So I try
8:11
Speaker 1: to be as self-effacing as I can and not try
8:13
Speaker 1: to sound like I'm the.
8:15
Speaker 2: Get Dovka. Oh, yeah, great. Here's Dovka.
8:17
Speaker 1: What do you want me to say to him?
8:19
Speaker 2: Hey, Tom? Oh, yeah, thanks a lot, Phil.
8:24
Speaker 1: Look, I'm sorry, Tom. I just, you know, I'm sorry.
8:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, look, I'm not going to break your cast
8:32
Speaker 2: tonight too much. The only thing I was going to say...
8:35
Speaker 2: is that when you come on here and you're talking like, hey,
8:38
Speaker 2: I went on a TV show and everything like this,
8:40
Speaker 2: it makes the audience think that you think it doesn't
8:43
Speaker 2: smell anymore and you don't need to turn a fan on,
8:46
Speaker 2: that's all.
8:47
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about now. Usually I
8:49
Speaker 1: can understand what you're saying. What are you talking about?
8:52
Speaker 2: I'm talking about what you're talking about right now, you
8:54
Speaker 2: being on a TV show. Because when you do, when
8:57
Speaker 2: you do, excuse me for a minute.
9:00
Speaker 1: You all right, Tom?
9:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just trying to... I'm on my
9:03
Speaker 2: way out to Santa Pina Nava. You know where this is, Phil?
9:07
Speaker 1: What is it?
9:08
Speaker 2: Santa Pina Nava.
9:11
Speaker 1: Santa Pina Nava? Which way are you going?
9:13
Speaker 2: I'm heading east. From where? Out of L.A.
9:17
Speaker 1: Are you still in California?
9:19
Speaker 2: Yeah. Get a load of this guy, will you, Mark?
9:21
Speaker 1: We've never heard of Santa Pina Nava. Yeah.
9:24
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, man.
9:26
Speaker 1: No, there's no such town. You're going to have to...
9:27
Speaker 1: There's no such town, huh?
9:29
Speaker 2: The guy says... Let me see. Oh, yes, he put
9:31
Speaker 2: down penis. It's a bad Santa.
9:34
Speaker 1: Who did that for you?
9:35
Speaker 2: It was the program director over there, Bobo. Joey, I'm
9:39
Speaker 2: going to get you for this. No, I'm on my
9:42
Speaker 2: way to... Okay, no, I'm going to Needles, Arizona. Is
9:45
Speaker 2: there a station there? No, it's... A friend of mine
9:48
Speaker 2: is there. Needles, Arizona? Yeah, somebody I met, someone that I...
9:54
Speaker 2: I might get something going with, I don't know.
9:56
Speaker 1: A female?
9:57
Speaker 2: None of your business.
9:58
Speaker 1: All right, so Tom, tell us, what... what is it
10:00
Speaker 1: that you called for?
10:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, no kidding. Oh my God, oh my God. I
10:06
Speaker 2: can't call up just to say hi.
10:08
Speaker 3: Well, every time you call up, you call up to
10:10
Speaker 3: break my you-know-whats, and I don't think that this is
10:12
Speaker 3: any different.
10:14
Speaker 2: I'm saying to you that I just heard you talking
10:17
Speaker 2: about being on this TV show. And you're going, yeah,
10:20
Speaker 2: another thing, a lot of these actors that I worked with,
10:23
Speaker 2: I won't mention their names, but they're very big time
10:26
Speaker 2: and some of the hardest work.
10:28
Speaker 3: What's wrong with me telling people what I was doing
10:30
Speaker 3: outside of the show?
10:33
Speaker 2: I don't know, Phil. I think it alienates, what's the
10:37
Speaker 2: word again? Alienates. Yes, thank you, Mark. It alienates a
10:43
Speaker 2: lot of the people.
10:44
Speaker 1: Alienates, not alienates.
10:47
Speaker 2: Want to say it again?
10:48
Speaker 1: You don't know the word alienate.
10:50
Speaker 2: No, I don't know. Okay, all right. It alienates a
10:55
Speaker 2: lot of the people that are listening to your show.
10:57
Speaker 1: Why would it alienate them?
10:59
Speaker 2: God, Phil, why would it alienate them? I'll tell you why.
11:02
Speaker 1: Why are you mocking me, man?
11:03
Speaker 2: I don't know.
11:04
Speaker 1: Why would it alienate them?
11:06
Speaker 2: Because they're here to hear you do the comedy, and
11:09
Speaker 2: they want to hear you do all of the voices
11:11
Speaker 2: that you do, and then do the comedy. And now
11:14
Speaker 2: here you are, all of a sudden, you're going, I
11:17
Speaker 2: went up to Santa Clarita, too. You even mentioned the
11:19
Speaker 2: town which you went up to.
11:20
Speaker 1: Of course I did.
11:22
Speaker 2: Well, what's that about?
11:23
Speaker 1: Letting people know where I was, man, where I was working.
11:26
Speaker 1: God damn.
11:27
Speaker 2: God, Phil. Where I was working.
11:29
Speaker 3: You ought to quit making fun of him, Mr. Dovka,
11:31
Speaker 3: because all you're doing is sitting, you sit in your
11:33
Speaker 3: car underneath an overramp, and you eat a.
11:35
Speaker 2: Peanut butter sandwich. Underneath an overramp?
11:38
Speaker 1: He means an overpass.
11:41
Speaker 2: And let me tell you something, Dick, but yeah, I
11:42
Speaker 2: eat a peanut butter sandwich that I make for myself because, uh.
11:47
Speaker 1: Your wife and you got a divorce.
11:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got a divorce, so I don't have a
11:51
Speaker 2: woman making no peanut butter sandwich for me. And yes,
11:53
Speaker 2: I sleep in my car to save money.
11:56
Speaker 1: You're not having financial problems, are you?
11:58
Speaker 2: Oh, my God, because I'm sleeping in my car to
12:00
Speaker 2: save money? You think I got financial problems?
12:02
Speaker 1: Sleeping in your car, bro, that's.
12:03
Speaker 2: A, you know... Hey, what's this bro stuff, too? Where
12:07
Speaker 2: did all this come from?
12:08
Speaker 3: All of a sudden, you're... I've talked like that the
12:11
Speaker 3: whole of my life, man, okay? You just, I don't
12:13
Speaker 3: know what happened to you. I think you've been passed
12:16
Speaker 3: out half the time in your car waiting to go
12:17
Speaker 3: to your next consult gig, like in Santa Pina Nabobo.
12:22
Speaker 2: All right, that was Duke Winston over there at Bobo.
12:24
Speaker 2: He gave me the wrong. I'm going to go out
12:26
Speaker 2: to Needles. I'm going to go and see Darlene, this
12:28
Speaker 2: girl I know. I'm going to come back to L.A.,
12:30

Speaker 2: They play a mixture of the top hits of the 60s,
13:35
Speaker 2: the 70s, the 80s, the 90s, and the 2000s and
13:37
Speaker 2: the 2010s.

Speaker 2: stand up, you go ahead and stand up and hit
14:04
Speaker 2: Tom in the head. Margaret, just squat over top of him.
14:07
Speaker 1: All right, you take that back right now.
14:09
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Scott.
14:10
Speaker 1: What is going on with you, man? You're all pissed
14:12
Speaker 1: off because I'm talking about working in the TV. Working
14:14
Speaker 1: in the TV business, right?
14:16
Speaker 2: I'm pissed off, Phil, because you ought to be concentrating
14:19
Speaker 2: on your bread and butter, which is your podcast, the voiceover, the.
14:23
Speaker 3: Things that you do, and the radio archive hour.
14:28
Speaker 2: You were in the Radio Hall of Fame. You realize that?
14:30
Speaker 1: Yes, I do, and I'm very proud of that.
14:32
Speaker 2: Well, then why don't you start working that a little
14:34
Speaker 2: bit instead of, hey, yeah... I went out to the TV,
14:38
Speaker 2: you know.
14:39
Speaker 3: I don't come on and say, hey, yeah, I never have.
14:42
Speaker 3: You know that as well as I do. I mean,
14:43
Speaker 3: I've taken time off and playing encore shows and telling people, yeah,
14:47
Speaker 3: I've got.
14:48
Speaker 1: Work I've got to do early in the morning.
14:50
Speaker 3: And you don't tell nobody about it. You don't say
14:52
Speaker 3: nothing about it. Okay, does that sound like a guy
14:54
Speaker 3: that's going, hey, yeah?
14:56
Speaker 2: Well, okay, but I'm just saying, when you take it,
14:59
Speaker 2: you say I got work, it makes it sound like
15:02
Speaker 2: I got better things to do than sit here and
15:04
Speaker 2: talk to you slobs. Which is basically, that's what you
15:06
Speaker 2: should do, Phil.
15:08
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm saying.
15:09
Speaker 2: Well, you should say, you should say, hey, this is
15:11
Speaker 2: a Phil Henry podcast. I got better things to do
15:14
Speaker 2: than sit here and talk to you slobs. Okay? Hey, Tom.
15:21
Speaker 1: Oh, he's throwing, are you throwing the phone down?
15:23
Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, Mr.
15:26
Speaker 3: Dobka.
15:28
Speaker 2: Mr. Dobka.
15:29
Speaker 1: Put him on hold. Jesus.
15:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mr. Dobka? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I know.
15:35
Speaker 3: Ever since he had that surgery, he reaches down into
15:37
Speaker 3: his pants.
15:37
Speaker 1: Give me the phone, okay?
15:40
Speaker 2: Look, Phil, I don't think it's very fair of you
15:41
Speaker 2: to say that I'm, you know, I don't know.
15:45
Speaker 3: I ain't saying nothing. You started it on me. So
15:47
Speaker 3: all I'm telling you is, I thought, you know, when
15:50
Speaker 3: we were doing the pre-show, I was asking the other
15:52
Speaker 3: guys in the crew here, I said, should I talk
15:53
Speaker 3: about this stuff?
15:54
Speaker 1: They went, yeah.
15:55
Speaker 2: Well, sure, you ought to talk about you on a
15:57
Speaker 2: big TV show, 9-1-1. You ain't even said the name
16:00
Speaker 2: Angela Bassett.
16:01
Speaker 1: No, I wasn't going to say the name Angela Bassett,
16:03
Speaker 1: but you go right ahead and say it.
16:06
Speaker 2: What an asshole.
16:07
Speaker 1: Hey, Dovka, how come your voice, like everybody else's, starts
16:09
Speaker 1: to crack when you get nervous or dumb?
16:12
Speaker 2: The same reason why it does with you.
16:14
Speaker 1: Oh. He got you there, General. You didn't get me.
16:18
Speaker 2: Oh, you want to... Every time you get nervous, General,
16:20
Speaker 2: you're like, Hey, this is General Galen Shaw. Oh, excuse me.
16:25
Speaker 1: All right, so Tom Dobka, let's talk about K-Bobo, or
16:28
Speaker 1: whatever it is.
16:29
Speaker 2: It ain't K-Bobo, it's Bobo. Okay? And that's the format.
16:33
Speaker 1: All right, so this sounds like the dumbest idea I've
16:35
Speaker 1: ever heard.
16:36
Speaker 2: So I come on here, I talk to you about
16:38
Speaker 2: the TV stuff, what you do, and the first thing
16:40
Speaker 2: I get out of the mouth of Margaret Gray is, okay,
16:42
Speaker 2: let's talk about Tom Dobka, and let's wipe with it.
16:46
Speaker 2: Go ahead, say something, Tom, and we'll go ahead and wipe.
16:48
Speaker 2: Tom Dovka here. Okay, let's wipe with that.
16:51
Speaker 1: Come on, Tom, quit being a baby.
16:53
Speaker 2: I'm not being a baby. That's exactly what you're doing.
16:55
Speaker 1: Well, I want to know about this Bobo. Okay, so
16:58
Speaker 1: it's Margaret Bobo Gray.
17:00
Speaker 2: That's one of the things I did to brand the station.
17:03
Speaker 2: From the 60s, the 70s, the 80s, the 90s, the 2000s,
17:04
Speaker 2: and the 2010s, it's Bobo. Okay? Then they play. So
17:11
Speaker 2: let's say they start out the hour with You Can't
17:14
Speaker 2: Hurry Love by the Supremes. From the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000, 2010,
17:19
Speaker 2: this is from the 60s, Supremes, and You Can't Hurry Love.
17:24
Speaker 2: And they're doing it over the top of the music, right?
17:26
Speaker 2: So they've got to hit the post.
17:27
Speaker 1: That's a big talk-up.
17:30
Speaker 2: What?
17:30
Speaker 1: That's a big talk-up from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s.
17:34
Speaker 1: Here's the Supremes with the Can't Hurry Love.
17:36
Speaker 2: How long is the instrumental opening vamp on that? I
17:39
Speaker 2: don't know.
17:40
Speaker 1: It's not long at all.
17:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, it goes like... How do you know, Dickman?
17:46
Speaker 2: I was just listening to it.
17:47
Speaker 1: Bud's right.
17:48
Speaker 2: It goes.
17:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't say... You told me one time the
17:54
Speaker 2: real Don Steele said, this is KHJ Los Angeles right
17:58
Speaker 2: over top of them going one, two, three, before they
18:00
Speaker 2: start his song, Good Love. Remember that?
18:02
Speaker 1: I don't even know what you're talking about, man. All
18:04
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say.
18:05
Speaker 2: You know, oh, God, listen to this guy. He doesn't
18:06
Speaker 2: know what I'm talking about. Hey, look, Phil. Look, let
18:09
Speaker 2: me tell you something, Phil. The Bobo is going to
18:12
Speaker 2: break open and do in radio in L.A. what had
18:15
Speaker 2: not been done in many, many years. Okay? It's going
18:18
Speaker 2: to be a fresh new sound. A fresh new sound
18:21
Speaker 2: from L.A. and Southern California. It's the Bobo.
18:26
Speaker 3: And they asked me if I would do, Hi, I'm
18:29
Speaker 3: Tom Bobo Davka, and I'm the consultant of the Bobo.
18:33
Speaker 3: A brand new, fresh sound in the city of Los
18:35
Speaker 3: Angeles and Southern California. The 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, the 2000s,
18:39
Speaker 3: and the 2010s.
18:39
Speaker 2: Fresh, light hits are coming your way on Bobo. I
18:41
Speaker 2: don't know. Wait. What are you laughing at?
18:52
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound like you really like it anymore.
18:55
Speaker 2: Now that I hear myself say it, it sounds stupid.
18:57
Speaker 1: You got that right.
18:59
Speaker 2: Well, what is it with you people, man? I come
19:00
Speaker 2: on here and all you ever do, like I said,
19:03
Speaker 2: all you ever do is take, here's something I gotta say.
19:05
Speaker 3: Thank you, we needed that wipe. Thank you, there's another wipe.
19:07
Speaker 3: All you do is wipe with Tom Topkin.
19:11
Speaker 1: No, we do not, Tom.
19:14
Speaker 2: Hey, Mr. Topkin.
19:16
Speaker 1: We do not, and you know that.
19:18
Speaker 2: Every time I come on this show with you, Phil,
19:21
Speaker 2: you talk about how I'm sleeping in my car. You
19:24
Speaker 2: talk about.
19:24
Speaker 3: You're the guy that talks about sleeping in your car.
19:26
Speaker 3: You're the guy that says that, you know, you save
19:28
Speaker 3: money that way, and you like to travel by car.
19:31
Speaker 3: You like to use your cell phone. You don't want
19:32
Speaker 3: to travel by air. You like to think about what
19:34
Speaker 3: you're doing, so you like to drive. And you told
19:36
Speaker 3: me that, didn't you?
19:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, Phil. God, you told me that, didn't you? Yes,
19:40
Speaker 2: I did tell you, okay?
19:42
Speaker 1: Okay. And you said you kind of like kicking it
19:44
Speaker 1: in your car and sleeping in your car.
19:46
Speaker 2: Look, Phil, who wants to sleep in their car?
19:48
Speaker 1: What are you, broke?
19:50
Speaker 2: I was, oh my God.
19:53
Speaker 1: Hey, Dobcay, you better get some water.
19:56
Speaker 3: Broke.
19:57
Speaker 2: I'm a very successful man, okay?
19:58
Speaker 1: Then why are you sleeping in your car?
20:00
Speaker 2: Because I don't want to keep checking into hotels, okay?
20:03
Speaker 2: I want to pull off the side of the road,
20:05
Speaker 2: go to sleep, wake up. Maybe I only want to
20:07
Speaker 2: sleep three hours, and then I want to get back
20:08
Speaker 2: on the road and get to where I'm going.
20:10
Speaker 1: Like Santa Ponapina or whatever it was.
20:13
Speaker 2: That was that guy, Russell Wiskins, at the Bobo, and
20:16
Speaker 2: I will definitely have a conversation with him.
20:19
Speaker 1: So he told you about some fake town that you
20:21
Speaker 1: were on your way to?
20:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it was a place that had a
20:24
Speaker 2: radio station. They wanted a consultant. They wanted to have
20:27
Speaker 2: a consultant. They wanted a consultancy. Yeah, they wanted to
20:31
Speaker 2: have a consultancy.
20:33
Speaker 3: And it turns out it don't exist. So good enough,
20:35
Speaker 3: my friend Darlene Good lives in Needles, what town is it?
20:40
Speaker 2: Needles, Arizona? Yeah, Needles, Arizona, in California. I think it.
20:44
Speaker 3: Straddles across the borderline. Needles, California, Needles, Arizona.
20:49
Speaker 2: Take your pick. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:55
Speaker 1: Everything with you, Bud, ends with a yeah. Well, it does.
20:58
Speaker 2: All right, well, anyway, I went on my way to
21:00
Speaker 2: go see her. So, anyway, Phil, I would say this.
21:03
Speaker 2: Congratulations on your big TV work and all of this.
21:07
Speaker 3: You know what, man? I only bring it up to
21:10
Speaker 3: explain it to the audience. I think it's worthy to discuss.
21:13
Speaker 3: I had a great time. I worked with great people.
21:16
Speaker 2: And I mean that.
21:17
Speaker 1: I'm not, you know... Just embellishing for embellishment's sake. I
21:22
Speaker 1: really did work with great people.
21:23
Speaker 2: You don't want to drop no names or anything?
21:26
Speaker 1: Not just now.
21:27
Speaker 3: Wait until the shows get on the air after just
21:29
Speaker 3: one episode. There's three that we were involved in.
21:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, we say we. There's only one of you. Why
21:35
Speaker 2: do you say we?
21:36
Speaker 3: Because that's a more respectful way of referring to oneself
21:39
Speaker 3: on the air. Say we, because there's a lot more
21:41
Speaker 3: going on than just me.
21:43
Speaker 2: What?
21:44
Speaker 1: You don't get that, do you, Dovka? When you talk
21:46
Speaker 1: about yourself, you say, well, what we decided to do,
21:48
Speaker 1: because you got a wife, you got friends, you got co-workers,
21:51
Speaker 1: all kinds of people helping one with an effort.
21:54
Speaker 3: Hey, what is it with you? Everybody ganging up on me.
21:57
Speaker 3: I call up, I want to know what was going on.
22:00
Speaker 3: I was going to tell you about Bobo, okay? I
22:03
Speaker 3: told you about Santa Polapena, and it turns out, you know,
22:06
Speaker 3: that was.
22:06
Speaker 1: That was one of your co-workers screwing with you, man.
22:08
Speaker 3: We're the guys that set you straight. Tom Dobka, radio consultant,
22:15
Speaker 3: has been my guest here on the Phil Henry Show.
22:18
Speaker 2: Oh, what is it? Were you kicking me off the air?
22:20
Speaker 3: No, I'm not kicking you off the air. I'm just
22:21
Speaker 3: saying you were with us, and it's been great having
22:23
Speaker 3: you with us. What else do you want to talk about?
22:25
Speaker 2: I was going to talk about Bobo.
22:28
Speaker 1: Jesus. So what is there to say about Bobo? This
22:32
Speaker 1: is the format.
22:33
Speaker 2: The name of the format is the Bobo, okay? I
22:36
Speaker 2: don't know if you, you probably remember a lot of
22:38
Speaker 2: people remember Boss Radio, this kind of thing. Of course.
22:41
Speaker 2: All right, those are all radio formats. This is Bobo.
22:45
Speaker 2: And it's not Bobo Hotel. The station I'm consulting, Bobo,
22:49
Speaker 2: is it 10-10-10-90 or 10-10-10? I forget. It ain't 10-10.
22:53
Speaker 2: That's KNX. 10-90 or 10-10-10-10-10-y or something. I forget.
22:57
Speaker 1: What do you mean 10-10-y?
22:59
Speaker 2: It's something around 10-10, but I know it's not KNX.
23:02
Speaker 2: But the station I'm consulting, Bobo, okay?
23:06
Speaker 1: Do you tell them what the frequency is?
23:09
Speaker 3: No.
23:09
Speaker 2: It's like we want this to be so big. It's Bobo.
23:13
Speaker 2: Just trying to figure out where we are on the dial.
23:18
Speaker 2: What are you laughing at?
23:19
Speaker 1: That's the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life.
23:22
Speaker 2: What is?
23:24
Speaker 1: We're so big trying to figure out where we are.
23:27
Speaker 3: Hey, let me tell you something, Phil. Bobo is your friend,
23:31
Speaker 3: but someday Bobo is going to be your daddy.
23:34
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? Oh, yeah, right. That's right.
23:37
Speaker 1: Look it, man. Where are they located on the dial?
23:39
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say. Bobo, take a wild guess
23:42
Speaker 2: where we are.
23:44
Speaker 1: That really is going to help people find your station
23:46
Speaker 1: and listen to it.
23:47
Speaker 2: We're going to be so big and so significant. that
23:49
Speaker 2: people go, oh, God, what is that music? I love
23:51
Speaker 2: that music. Where is the station? And people will say, yeah,
23:54
Speaker 2: that's Bobo. It's at XYZ Frequency in L.A. So it's
23:58
Speaker 2: an L.A.
23:59
Speaker 1: Station right now. Do you have any other client stations?
24:01
Speaker 2: I'm working on it. We got L.A. We can sign it.
24:04
Speaker 2: That's what I said. I'm driving out to the eastern
24:07
Speaker 2: part of L.A. Metro, you know, the Inland Empire. There's
24:11
Speaker 2: Santa Polapena. I don't know where the hell that's supposed
24:13
Speaker 2: to be.
24:13
Speaker 1: Well, is it Riverside? Is it San Bernardino?
24:15
Speaker 2: That's it, San Bernardino. San Bernardino.
24:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not Santa Polapena.
24:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, okay?
24:24
Speaker 1: So, Tom, how is business?
24:25
Speaker 2: Good? Yeah, it's very, very good.
24:27
Speaker 3: Why?
24:28
Speaker 2: Why do you say that like you're expecting me to say? No,
24:31
Speaker 2: I'm going to be blowing my brains out tonight about
24:32
Speaker 2: 5 o'clock.
24:34
Speaker 1: No, I really hope that business is good for you,
24:36
Speaker 1: and you are saying it's good.
24:37
Speaker 2: Yes, it's very good. And with Bobo, it's going to
24:40
Speaker 2: kick me up to the next level.
24:42
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Let's not make fun of Tom.
24:45
Speaker 1: So what do you mean, the next level?
24:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, General... You know, I'm not trying to tell
24:49
Speaker 2: you how to go blow up Vietnamese, okay? So don't
24:51
Speaker 2: tell me how to do no radio.
24:53
Speaker 1: I'm not blowing up Vietnamese.
24:55
Speaker 2: I haven't been in the Army.
24:55
Speaker 1: I haven't been in combat in years.
24:57
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. What do you see, a retired general?
25:00
Speaker 2: What do you want, strut up and down and salute
25:02
Speaker 2: yourself in the mirror?
25:03
Speaker 1: Hey, let me tell you, Tom, Dovka, you know what?
25:06
Speaker 1: If you want to know what the military's like, you
25:08
Speaker 1: come on over here, and I'll go ahead and put
25:10
Speaker 1: you through your paces. Yeah, I bet that that's... It's
25:14
Speaker 1: going to feel real good, too.
25:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll bet it will.
25:19
Speaker 1: All right, so anyway, Tom, tell us about, anything more
25:23
Speaker 1: to tell us about Bobo?
25:24
Speaker 2: I got to get out of here. General Shaw basically
25:27
Speaker 2: just said he's going to take me in the shower
25:30
Speaker 2: and go ahead and... Whee! That's exactly what you said.
25:33
Speaker 1: I did not.
25:33
Speaker 2: Well, that's how I feel about it. May I hang up, please?
25:37
Speaker 1: General, you know full well I didn't say anything like that.
25:41
Speaker 2: Well, you said, come on over here and I'll put
25:43
Speaker 2: you to your paces.
25:43
Speaker 1: I don't know if you took it in a weird way.
25:46
Speaker 1: That's not you, buddy.
25:48
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, sure. Is Henry laughing at everybody's pain? Somebody
25:55
Speaker 2: in pain? Here comes Henry. Is someone laying in the
25:58
Speaker 2: street after they got hit by a car? Here comes Henry.
26:02
Speaker 2: If somebody's out there.
26:04
Speaker 1: Tom Dovka, folks. Radio consultant. So he's got the bobo. Yeah,
26:09
Speaker 1: he's got the bobo all right. But it sounds like
26:12
Speaker 1: he's got the clap or something. Yeah, that's what I
26:14
Speaker 1: think it is.
26:15
Speaker 3: Tom Dovka, who's off, you know, doing his thing, man.
26:18
Speaker 3: And we wish you all the best, Tom. And, yeah,
26:21
Speaker 3: I'm sorry that I was talking about the TV stuff,
26:23
Speaker 3: but Tom's pissed off ever since I got in the
26:25
Speaker 3: Radio Hall of Fame, and he didn't.
26:27
Speaker 1: That's your problem, Dovka.
26:29
Speaker 2: Yeah.
26:30
Speaker 1: That's exactly how. That's better.
26:33
