- 0:06Speaker 1: revolutionary Radio Hall of Fame website with all that great
- 0:09Speaker 1: archived radio material from the early days of syndication, our
- 0:13Speaker 1: local show in Los Angeles. In fact, today we dropped
- 0:16Speaker 1: three archive shows, one of which is from 1998. In fact,
- 0:20Speaker 1: it's a little rough. It's actually recorded off of the
- 0:22Speaker 1: radio because some of the logging back in those days
- 0:25Speaker 1: wasn't what we hoped it would be. But nonetheless, we
- 0:28Speaker 1: We preserve what we can. We've got some shows from Miami. And,
- 0:31Speaker 1: of course, our nationally syndicated show. So we invite you

- 0:58Speaker 1: it's like economy-minded, you know. Every family should have one. Yeah,
- 1:02Speaker 1: I mean, not everybody in the family should listen to it. No,
- 1:05Speaker 1: but every family should have one, but not everybody in
- 1:08Speaker 1: the family should listen to it. Yeah, just go, go, go, go. Oh, yeah,
- 1:13Speaker 1: the world-famous Phil Hendry show, you know, the greatest value
- 1:17Speaker 1: online other than porn.
- 1:18Speaker 2: Nice.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, it's Phil Hendry here for our Radio Archive Hour.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Today's featured Radio Archive Hour is from January 2006. It's
- 1:25Speaker 1: kind of unusual. Only in so far as we reveal
- 1:31Speaker 1: just for the second time I think in the history
- 1:33Speaker 1: of the show that Jason J. Delmonico was her son
- 1:36Speaker 1: was adopted Margaret's very proud of Jason J. Delmonico. He's
- 1:40Speaker 1: a child actor in this particular show Margaret is having
- 1:44Speaker 1: a party for all of the cast members of a
- 1:45Speaker 1: movie called the day Manhattan died It's a comedy that
- 1:49Speaker 1: takes place around 9-11. Yeah, sure Jason J. Delmonico, for instance,
- 1:54Speaker 1: is a messenger boy in the movie. He rides up.
- 1:56Speaker 1: He sees that the Twin Towers have been flattened. He
- 1:57Speaker 1: was going to deliver a box of chocolates. He realizes
- 1:59Speaker 1: that he can't, so he opens the chocolates, starts eating
- 2:01Speaker 1: them himself, and he rides off. So... You're kidding. No, no,
- 2:07Speaker 1: this is the wind. Anyway, let's listen, shall we? From
- 2:09Speaker 1: January 2006, Margaret talks about her son, her movie star son,
- 2:12Speaker 1: Jason J. Delmonico, how proud she is of him, and
- 2:14Speaker 1: also the fact that as an adopted child, a valued
- 2:17Speaker 1: adopted child, he's almost like a fresh bologna sandwich that
- 2:20Speaker 1: was pulled out of a garbage dump.
- 2:23Speaker 3: Right.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Here it is. He had misgivings about the movie that
- 2:27Speaker 1: your son's in. What is the movie about?
- 2:29Speaker 3: The movie, Phil, is a very daring film. It is
- 2:31Speaker 3: a comedy. It is based on the events around 9-11.
- 2:35Speaker 3: It is very daring. It is very groundbreaking. But as
- 2:40Speaker 3: I said to Bill and as I've said to a
- 2:41Speaker 3: lot of people, I think after three and a half,
- 2:44Speaker 3: almost four years, we can begin to get over ourselves
- 2:48Speaker 3: just a little bit.
- 2:50Speaker 1: All right, so it's a comedy based upon... the World
- 2:53Speaker 1: Trade Center being attacked.
- 2:54Speaker 3: Yes, and I can tell you there's a very funny scene.
- 2:56Speaker 3: Jason's in one scene. He plays a messenger boy in
- 2:59Speaker 3: Manhattan on the morning of the tragedy of 9-11, and
- 3:03Speaker 3: he's delivering a box of chocolates from a young man
- 3:05Speaker 3: to a young lady. And when he gets to the
- 3:08Speaker 3: place that he's going to deliver them to, which is
- 3:10Speaker 3: the World Trade Center, and it's been completely destroyed, it's
- 3:13Speaker 3: a very funny scene. He shrugs, he opens up the
- 3:16Speaker 3: box of chocolates, and he starts to eat them, and
- 3:19Speaker 3: he rides away.
- 3:20Speaker 1: All right, look, I don't want to, you know.
- 3:23Speaker 3: But, Phil, that's really not the point of what I'm saying.
- 3:26Speaker 3: The point of what I'm talking about is that I
- 3:29Speaker 3: created for my son a career. Jason was adopted. And
- 3:35Speaker 3: I don't know if you know that or not.
- 3:36Speaker 1: You know, you told me that he's adopted.
- 3:38Speaker 3: Yes, we adopted Jason. Frank and I, late in life,
- 3:40Speaker 3: decided to have a child. We adopted him. And I
- 3:44Speaker 3: set about the task for myself of making something out
- 3:48Speaker 3: of this kid who'd been adopted. And when you adopt
- 3:51Speaker 3: a child, what you're really doing is you're pulling a
- 3:53Speaker 3: human off of, for want of a better term, off
- 3:59Speaker 3: of a scrap heap. And you're putting them to good use.
- 4:03Speaker 3: And what we're doing with Jason, we're loving him and
- 4:06Speaker 3: we're building a career for him.
- 4:07Speaker 1: All right, but let me get back to this movie
- 4:09Speaker 1: if I could, all right?
- 4:10Speaker 3: That's fine, but I think it's beside the point.
- 4:12Speaker 1: No, that's right. And I'm not going to criticize. I
- 4:14Speaker 1: personally don't really see anything to laugh about 9-11. But
- 4:18Speaker 1: now the movie is a comedy, so you said it's controversial.
- 4:21Speaker 1: Is it not unusual for a man to walk up
- 4:23Speaker 1: to somebody having seen a controversial movie and express an opinion?
- 4:27Speaker 3: Not in the middle of a party that I'm throwing
- 4:30Speaker 3: and that he is the beneficiary of. He's drinking my drinks.
- 4:33Speaker 3: He's eating my food. And he comes over to me
- 4:36Speaker 3: and says, well, I felt the movie was in bad taste.
- 4:39Speaker 3: I thought it had low moral character. And I looked
- 4:41Speaker 3: at him. I turned on my heel. I wheeled around
- 4:44Speaker 3: and I looked at him and I said, now, you
- 4:46Speaker 3: listen to me and you listen real good. If you
- 4:49Speaker 3: think you're going to bumble into a party that I'm
- 4:52Speaker 3: giving for a young child that I adopted, pulled off
- 4:55Speaker 3: of a scrap heap and made a career for, and
- 4:59Speaker 3: if you think that you're going to do that in
- 5:01Speaker 3: my home.
- 5:01Speaker 1: I don't want to cry. I don't like the term
- 5:04Speaker 1: scrap heap.
- 5:07Speaker 3: Please listen to me, Phil.
- 5:08Speaker 1: All right, I'm sorry.
- 5:09Speaker 3: I said to Bill, I said, if you think you're
- 5:10Speaker 3: going to start criticizing my son's work, I said, this
- 5:13Speaker 3: is everything I've ever dreamed for. My son now has
- 5:16Speaker 3: a part in a major motion picture. And with that,
- 5:19Speaker 3: I turned on my heel, and I walked away.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Margaret Gray joins us, a nationally syndicated columnist. Her son
- 5:25Speaker 1: is Jason J. Delmonico. He's a young actor who will
- 5:28Speaker 1: be appearing very shortly in a film called The Night
- 5:30Speaker 1: Manhattan Died. Now, this is produced by Ellis Murgans.
- 5:34Speaker 3: Yes, it's Ellis Morgan's production company, and I know it
- 5:37Speaker 3: has a great deal of artistic cachet, and I think
- 5:41Speaker 3: is really begging to be looked at. And it's the
- 5:45Speaker 3: kind of film that I think Redford is going to
- 5:47Speaker 3: want at Sundance. In fact, the word is, and this
- 5:52Speaker 3: is just from some preliminary sources, but the word is,
- 5:56Speaker 3: and I'm using the quote that they used with me,
- 5:58Speaker 3: they're salivating to get their hands on it. This could
- 6:02Speaker 3: be bigger than Fahrenheit 9-11.
- 6:05Speaker 1: Another movie I didn't like.
- 6:07Speaker 3: Well, Phil, you know, you and I have gone around
- 6:09Speaker 3: and around about that. But what I'm saying to you
- 6:11Speaker 3: is this. Some parents are not proud of their children.
- 6:14Speaker 3: Some parents, maybe they're disappointed that their children are losers
- 6:18Speaker 3: or they're not very bright. When I adopted Jason J. Delmonico,
- 6:23Speaker 3: lifted him out of, you know, this.
- 6:27Speaker 1: You called it a scrap heap. Is that really an apt... Well,
- 6:31Speaker 1: all right, Phil.
- 6:31Speaker 3: What I'm saying is children that are adopted, orphans... He
- 6:34Speaker 3: was an orphan boy. And he had no future. His
- 6:38Speaker 3: mother was a crack addict. His father was non-existent.
- 6:44Speaker 1: I understand, and I think it's a good thing when
- 6:46Speaker 1: you give them a life.
- 6:47Speaker 3: All right. So the boy, you know, any child that's
- 6:51Speaker 3: adopted really owes his parents. And so I said to Frank,
- 6:55Speaker 3: what's the best way for him to pay us back?
- 6:59Speaker 3: And that is for him to develop a film career.
- 7:03Speaker 1: Why do you say pay you back?
- 7:06Speaker 3: I think any child that is given a great opportunity
- 7:09Speaker 3: in life owes his parents something. I'm simply saying that
- 7:12Speaker 3: when the child is adopted, they are a little bit
- 7:15Speaker 3: more beholden. I'm saying that I wanted Jason to have
- 7:21Speaker 3: a film career. Now he's in a movie. Now at
- 7:24Speaker 3: the height of his success, this man comes bumbling into
- 7:28Speaker 3: this party... And starts, well, I think that the movie
- 7:31Speaker 3: this and that. I said, now you listen to me,
- 7:32Speaker 3: and you listen real good, because I'm going to say
- 7:34Speaker 3: this once, and I don't stutter. You are going to
- 7:40Speaker 3: show respect to my home and to me. If you
- 7:43Speaker 3: say one thing about this film, I will have security,
- 7:47Speaker 3: and I do have security at my home for these things.
- 7:51Speaker 3: I'll have them throw you out into the street, and
- 7:55Speaker 3: your car keys will come... And your car keys will
- 7:59Speaker 3: come flying after.
- 8:00Speaker 1: All right. I'm going to give our number out. I'm
- 8:04Speaker 1: going to take a break. Our number is 1-800-449-8686. You
- 8:08Speaker 1: are talking about a film that anybody would have an
- 8:10Speaker 1: opinion about, Margaret.
- 8:11Speaker 3: I understand that film, but not in my home. And
- 8:13Speaker 3: not because you're jealous that your child's a loser.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Well, you don't know any of that. I mean, there's
- 8:17Speaker 1: a movie called The Night Manhattan Died. It's a comedy
- 8:20Speaker 1: based on the events of 9-11. Now, you've also said
- 8:23Speaker 1: that your son, Jason Jay, who is an adopted boy,
- 8:26Speaker 1: owes you. And I don't know anything about adopted children. Well,
- 8:30Speaker 1: I have stepchildren.
- 8:31Speaker 3: All right, you have stepchildren. Now, you... Well, in your case,
- 8:34Speaker 3: your stepchildren were well taken care of by Maria.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Yes, they were very well taken care of.
- 8:39Speaker 3: I'm talking about a child that I adopted. In other words,
- 8:41Speaker 3: the mother was some kind of a crack... Forgive me,
- 8:45Speaker 3: some kind of a crack whore. The father was... I
- 8:47Speaker 3: don't know what. The father was a black or something.
- 8:50Speaker 3: And together they.
- 8:51Speaker 1: What do you mean he was a black?
- 8:52Speaker 3: I mean that... I took this child, Frank and I
- 8:56Speaker 3: pulled this child literally off of a garbage heap. Now, Phil,
- 9:03Speaker 3: this is.
- 9:04Speaker 1: That, to me, is an unfortunate way of describing orphaned children.
- 9:09Speaker 3: No, but not all of them are. Look, every child
- 9:12Speaker 3: that's an orphan and is adopted needs to recognize that
- 9:20Speaker 3: they owe a little bit something more. Every child owes
- 9:22Speaker 3: his parents that gives him a good life. But an
- 9:24Speaker 3: adopted child, I think when the bill comes for that,
- 9:28Speaker 3: I think it's a little bit, you know, I think
- 9:30Speaker 3: you're going to get stuck to the bigger tap. And
- 9:33Speaker 3: all I ask of Jason Jay is that he make
- 9:35Speaker 3: something out of his life. And he's been cast in
- 9:37Speaker 3: this film. And then Sutherland comes bumbling and blundering into
- 9:40Speaker 3: our party. Well, I don't think this movie was this
- 9:43Speaker 3: and that.
- 9:43Speaker 1: But it was a controversial film, and you should have
- 9:46Speaker 1: expected that.
- 9:47Speaker 3: I said to him, now you listen and you listen good.
- 9:50Speaker 3: And I looked him in the eye. I'm not afraid
- 9:52Speaker 3: of any man. I said, you listen to me. And
- 9:55Speaker 3: he's a big man. And I resisted the temptation to
- 9:58Speaker 3: say fatso.
- 10:00Speaker 1: Well, that would have been childish.
- 10:02Speaker 3: Well, I resisted. I said, you listen to me and
- 10:04Speaker 3: you listen real good. My son is going to be
- 10:07Speaker 3: a big star. And if you think you're going to
- 10:09Speaker 3: walk into a home at a party that I'm hosting
- 10:13Speaker 3: and badmouth a movie that my son's in while you
- 10:16Speaker 3: sit there and eat my food and drink my drinks...
- 10:20Speaker 3: I can tell you that I will have security throw you,
- 10:24Speaker 3: and you'll be airborne, off of my property.
- 10:33Speaker 1: All right. Hold on for a minute, Margaret. 1-800-449-8686. 1-800-449-8686.
- 10:38Speaker 1: I knew that her son was adopted. Margaret Gray joins us.
- 10:43Speaker 1: Her son is in a film called The Night Manhattan Died.
- 10:45Speaker 1: Very controversial movie. It's a comedy based on 9-11 takes
- 10:50Speaker 1: place in New York. Her son is an adopted child,
- 10:53Speaker 1: and she feels that as an adopted child, that all
- 10:58Speaker 1: adopted children, I guess she's saying, owe their parents a
- 11:00Speaker 1: little bit more than the average child does, and she
- 11:03Speaker 1: feels that him getting a film career is the start
- 11:05Speaker 1: of paying her and her husband back. When she was
- 11:09Speaker 1: approached by someone at the party who didn't like the movie,
- 11:12Speaker 1: she literally threatened to have the man thrown out of
- 11:14Speaker 1: her house. This is the Phil Hendry Show. You're mentioning,
- 11:19Speaker 1: I don't particularly think that there's anything funny about 9-11.
- 11:21Speaker 3: Well, Phil, that is your opinion, but I don't think
- 11:25Speaker 3: that if you were in my home, I don't know
- 11:27Speaker 3: that you would have the right to walk up to
- 11:28Speaker 3: me and say, you know, I really don't like the
- 11:29Speaker 3: movie your son's in. Oh, by the way, can I
- 11:32Speaker 3: have more of your chicken? I think, and this is
- 11:37Speaker 3: my opinion, look, Jason Jay was adopted. When we found him,
- 11:43Speaker 3: it's almost as if you're going through And I, Phil,
- 11:46Speaker 3: I know.
- 11:46Speaker 1: Why do you use this garbage analogy with children that
- 11:49Speaker 1: are adopted?
- 11:50Speaker 3: Phil, I'm not saying the children themselves are garbage. I'm
- 11:52Speaker 3: saying they're thrown away as if they are. And when
- 11:56Speaker 3: we come along and adopt these children, it's as if
- 11:59Speaker 3: you're picking them out of the bottom of a can,
- 12:02Speaker 3: finding them at the bottom literally of a garbage can. Now,
- 12:06Speaker 3: I don't want anything from this boy other than for
- 12:09Speaker 3: him to be successful in his film career. We have,
- 12:12Speaker 3: and this is something that Bill really didn't like, Yes,
- 12:16Speaker 3: we do take a little bit more of his earnings
- 12:19Speaker 3: than the average parent.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Well, there are laws that allow for the parents to
- 12:25Speaker 1: take enough money as managers.
- 12:27Speaker 3: But he's adopted. So his upkeep is a little bit more.
- 12:35Speaker 1: How is the upkeep of an adopted child more than
- 12:37Speaker 1: the upkeep of a naturally born child? I really want
- 12:39Speaker 1: to know that.
- 12:40Speaker 3: I'll tell you how.
- 12:41Speaker 1: I really want to know how it's more expensive.
- 12:43Speaker 3: Because it is... The freight tire. When you're raising an
- 12:48Speaker 3: adopted child, you're making a little bit more of an
- 12:51Speaker 3: effort to love it. Oh, boy. You know something? When
- 12:56Speaker 3: you adopt a child, you give me a big call.
- 12:58Speaker 3: You give me the big shout-out, and you tell me
- 13:00Speaker 3: I'm wrong. And we're way off the base.
- 13:04Speaker 1: Well, you're talking like you don't even love this kid.
- 13:06Speaker 3: I love him very much.
- 13:10Speaker 4: And I.
- 13:11Speaker 3: For the first time in my life, I have what
- 13:12Speaker 3: I want. A kid.
- 13:15Speaker 1: That's an actor or just a son?
- 13:18Speaker 3: A son, yes, who also acts, yes. I have a
- 13:24Speaker 3: son that I love very much, and yes, he's in
- 13:26Speaker 3: a motion picture.
- 13:28Speaker 1: And that's good?
- 13:30Speaker 3: Yes, it's an extra added blessing, yes.
- 13:32Speaker 5: 1-800-449-8686.
- 13:34Speaker 1: Shem, go ahead, you're on the Phil Henry Show. Shem,
- 13:37Speaker 1: thank you for your show.
- 13:42Speaker 4: This woman is not interested in this kid. She's interested
- 13:48Speaker 4: in the dollar signs that she sees on this kid's forehead.
- 13:51Speaker 3: Now, we live in an open society.
- 14:01Speaker 4: And the open society calls.
- 14:03Speaker 3: I live in America. Where does he live?
- 14:04Speaker 4: He's calling from America, too. I live in America. I
- 14:08Speaker 4: live in South Africa.
- 14:09Speaker 3: Well, you don't sound like any American I know about.
- 14:11Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. You have an accent, too. Now, we
- 14:15Speaker 4: live in an open society, and an open society calls
- 14:18Speaker 4: for criticism of works of art. If anybody does a
- 14:23Speaker 4: work of art and is not willing... for that wick
- 14:27Speaker 4: to be criticized, then we have a problem. This woman
- 14:30Speaker 4: sees this child not as a son, but as a
- 14:35Speaker 4: dollar signer. And that's dead worrying to me.
- 14:39Speaker 1: Now, Margaret, your response.
- 14:41Speaker 3: First of all, Shem, if you walked into my home
- 14:44Speaker 3: and you're standing there with a cracker with my cheese
- 14:47Speaker 3: on it, and you say to me, you know, that
- 14:48Speaker 3: movie your son's in I think is a real turd, well,
- 14:52Speaker 3: guess what? You can leave.
- 14:54Speaker 1: But he didn't say that. He was... He just.
- 14:57Speaker 3: About said the same thing. Now, as far as Jason J.
- 15:00Speaker 3: Delmonico being adopted.
- 15:02Speaker 4: I'm an adopted child, too.
- 15:04Speaker 6: So?
- 15:05Speaker 3: All right. Have you paid your parents back?
- 15:07Speaker 4: Of course.
- 15:08Speaker 3: All right. Then you understand. When they picked you out
- 15:10Speaker 3: of a garbage heap.
- 15:12Speaker 4: I wasn't in a garbage heap.
- 15:15Speaker 3: Well, my God, where were you? If you have to
- 15:18Speaker 3: be adopted, it means.
- 15:19Speaker 4: You are creating perceptions here.
- 15:21Speaker 3: No, I'm simply saying if you have to be adopted...
- 15:24Speaker 3: Doesn't it follow that someone threw you into a dumpster?
- 15:28Speaker 1: No, it does not follow. It does not.
- 15:31Speaker 4: This boy did not ask to be born. He was
- 15:36Speaker 4: born to a parent who was smart enough to find
- 15:39Speaker 4: out that I cannot take care of this kid. Let
- 15:42Speaker 4: me give it to somebody who can. Unfortunately, the kid
- 15:46Speaker 4: has fallen into your hands, and all you see in
- 15:49Speaker 4: this kid is dollar signs.
- 15:51Speaker 3: No, I see a boy that I want very much
- 15:53Speaker 3: to grow up and have a wonderful life. And yes,
- 15:58Speaker 3: pay me back a little bit. Do you understand that
- 16:00Speaker 3: we went out and we looked for this child? He's
- 16:02Speaker 3: living with some crack whore, okay?
- 16:05Speaker 1: You don't have to whisper because everybody can hear.
- 16:07Speaker 3: Well, I don't really like the term. On top of that,
- 16:10Speaker 3: she is living with a man, and I won't... You
- 16:15Speaker 3: don't say anything. But he's not of her race.
- 16:19Speaker 1: It doesn't matter.
- 16:19Speaker 3: All right. And I said to Frank, let's adopt him.
- 16:24Speaker 3: And Frank didn't want to do it. I said, look,
- 16:28Speaker 3: if you let me adopt this boy, I will make
- 16:31Speaker 3: it worth your while.
- 16:32Speaker 4: Thank heavens you adopted him. You gave him a home.
- 16:38Speaker 4: You gave him a life. You gave him hope. But
- 16:41Speaker 4: the way you are portraying the boy right now, you know, Well,
- 16:45Speaker 4: let me ask you something. Leave people like me listening
- 16:48Speaker 4: to you. You sound like, you know.
- 16:52Speaker 3: You know what? I want to know. When you were
- 16:53Speaker 3: a child, did you wear clothes or just a piece
- 16:55Speaker 3: of leather around your waist? Because a lot of the.
- 16:58Speaker 1: What is that supposed to mean?
- 17:00Speaker 3: Well, I don't... When you say he was adopted, you know,
- 17:05Speaker 3: Shem here wants us to believe that Johnny Weisbauer came.
- 17:09Speaker 4: Swimming down the line. I agree with you at this
- 17:10Speaker 4: point that You sound more like you don't really love
- 17:14Speaker 4: this kid.
- 17:16Speaker 3: I love him very, very much to the point where
- 17:18Speaker 3: I sacrifice my life. Can I ask you something? Did
- 17:22Speaker 3: you go to school on an elephant?
- 17:24Speaker 1: All right.
- 17:25Speaker 4: Thank you very much.
- 17:26Speaker 1: Thank you very much, and I'm sorry for that.
- 17:28Speaker 3: Well, he didn't answer that.
- 17:28Speaker 1: He's not going to answer that question.
- 17:31Speaker 3: I'm trying to have some fun.
- 17:34Speaker 1: Why can't you just adopt a child?
- 17:36Speaker 3: You know what? It's worth it. It doesn't make any sense.
- 17:39Speaker 3: You're out of your element. You're out of your league.
- 17:41Speaker 3: You're way out of... You're in a different ballgame. The
- 17:46Speaker 3: only way I could look at... Have you ever walked
- 17:49Speaker 3: by a garbage can and found a ham sandwich that
- 17:52Speaker 3: was perfectly good? And you lift it up and you go,
- 17:55Speaker 3: you know what? This is a perfectly good sandwich. Why
- 17:58Speaker 3: not take a bite?
- 17:59Speaker 1: No, I have not.
- 18:01Speaker 3: You know the lies. I really hate the lies.
- 18:04Speaker 1: Wait a minute. Are you telling me that your baby,
- 18:07Speaker 1: this Jason Jay, was a ham sandwich in a garbage can?
- 18:12Speaker 3: Phil, you are characterizing my words.
- 18:14Speaker 1: No, you just said, have I ever walked by a
- 18:16Speaker 1: garbage can, saw a ham sandwich.
- 18:19Speaker 3: Phil, many times Frank has eaten something and then thrown
- 18:23Speaker 3: it away, didn't like the taste of it. I said,
- 18:25Speaker 3: this is a perfectly good light ham sandwich.
- 18:28Speaker 1: All right, let me take a phone call here. Elizabeth,
- 18:32Speaker 1: you're on The Phil Henry Show. Go ahead.
- 18:34Speaker 5: Yeah, my name is Elizabeth.
- 18:35Speaker 6: Hi.
- 18:35Speaker 5: Actually, I'm calling to make a comment about her and
- 18:37Speaker 5: the adoption.
- 18:38Speaker 1: Yes, ma'am.
- 18:39Speaker 5: I really don't think it's right that she's going around,
- 18:41Speaker 5: as much as she says she loves her son, you know,
- 18:43Speaker 5: calling him a piece of trash. Because, honestly, there are
- 18:46Speaker 5: some times that people have to put their kids up
- 18:47Speaker 5: for adoption, and they're.
- 18:49Speaker 3: Not telling them away. I understand that.
- 18:52Speaker 5: I mean, like, honestly, because I just had to do
- 18:54Speaker 5: this recently this past week because I wanted to give
- 18:56Speaker 5: my child a better life and a better home.
- 18:59Speaker 1: I'm very sorry to hear that, Elizabeth.
- 19:01Speaker 3: It's all right. Elizabeth, this is Margaret. Were you smoking rock?
- 19:06Speaker 2: No, no, not at all.
- 19:07Speaker 5: I've never done drugs or anything in my life. I'm
- 19:11Speaker 5: just 22 years old and I'm single, and I didn't
- 19:13Speaker 5: want to give my daughter, you know, living pretty much
- 19:18Speaker 5: as it is. I'm trying to make it and going
- 19:19Speaker 5: back to school and everything, and I wanted her to
- 19:21Speaker 5: have a happy family and a mother and a father
- 19:23Speaker 5: who can take care of her. And it's just really
- 19:26Speaker 5: wrong to pretty much go around saying that, like, all
- 19:28Speaker 5: adopted children are pretty much thrown away like a piece
- 19:30Speaker 5: of trash because they're not. Because I could have taken
- 19:33Speaker 5: care of her perfectly fine, and I love her so
- 19:36Speaker 5: much with all my heart.
- 19:37Speaker 3: Well, I think that you did the right thing. You
- 19:40Speaker 3: probably live in some kind of a mobile home community.
- 19:45Speaker 5: No, not at all. Well, I mean, you're generalizing.
- 19:48Speaker 3: No, I mean.
- 19:50Speaker 5: I'm just pretty much, I'm 22 years old. It was
- 19:52Speaker 5: an unplanned pregnancy. And the father, you know, we're good
- 19:56Speaker 5: friends still, but we're not together. And I just wanted
- 19:58Speaker 5: to make sure that she had a good life.
- 20:00Speaker 3: Now, when you say an unplanned pregnancy, meaning, and I really,
- 20:04Speaker 3: I don't, please forgive me when you say unplanned. Do
- 20:09Speaker 3: you know how babies are made? Yes. What kind of
- 20:11Speaker 3: a question? Well, then why would you say that's unplanned?
- 20:13Speaker 2: I don't understand.
- 20:14Speaker 5: Okay, pretty much because, like, the condom broke and it didn't,
- 20:18Speaker 5: you know, I accidentally got pregnant. That's what happened. So
- 20:21Speaker 5: it wasn't planned for me to get pregnant.
- 20:23Speaker 3: So in other words, what you're saying to me is
- 20:26Speaker 3: that you and this boyfriend used a condom that was
- 20:32Speaker 3: substandard and you saw the wisdom in giving a child up,
- 20:36Speaker 3: to adoption, because why would she want to be raised
- 20:38Speaker 3: by a mother who buys bad condoms? I don't understand how.
- 20:42Speaker 1: But the lady is saying.
- 20:43Speaker 5: It's not that I'm saying, it's that pretty much I'm
- 20:45Speaker 5: making the comment that I really feel that it's bad
- 20:47Speaker 5: that you're going around calling that adopted children are pretty
- 20:50Speaker 5: much thrown away like a piece of trash, because they're not.
- 20:52Speaker 5: Because a lot of times, they're... They're very wonderful gifts
- 20:56Speaker 5: from God, and pretty much that a lot of times
- 20:59Speaker 5: the women who make these decisions aren't always on drugs
- 21:02Speaker 5: or having problems or things like that. They sometimes just
- 21:05Speaker 5: want to give a better life for their child.
- 21:06Speaker 3: Can I ask you something? Was she a beautiful child?
- 21:08Speaker 3: She was.
- 21:09Speaker 5: She was gorgeous.
- 21:09Speaker 3: Very lovely. What color was her hair?
- 21:11Speaker 5: It was brown. Brown hair and blue eyes.
- 21:14Speaker 3: And you miss her, don't you?
- 21:15Speaker 5: I do, a lot.
- 21:17Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 21:17Speaker 5: And I love her a lot, too.
- 21:19Speaker 3: Now, the reason why, are you what they would call
- 21:21Speaker 3: mountain trash?
- 21:22Speaker 1: Would you please have some sensitivity to what this.
- 21:24Speaker 5: No.
- 21:25Speaker 3: Well, I'm trying to figure out.
- 21:26Speaker 1: Why would you ask her about the beauty of that
- 21:28Speaker 1: baby and then launch into a mountain trash line?
- 21:30Speaker 5: No.
- 21:31Speaker 3: I'm simply saying.
- 21:33Speaker 5: I live in a house in Pennsylvania and everything like that.
- 21:36Speaker 5: You know what I mean.
- 21:38Speaker 3: By hillbilly trash, right?
- 21:39Speaker 5: No, not at all.
- 21:41Speaker 3: I have, you know, two good parents. I have a brother.
- 21:44Speaker 5: Like, it's a normal life.
- 21:45Speaker 3: Well, why didn't you keep the child then? You didn't
- 21:48Speaker 3: want the child screaming? No, not at all.
- 21:51Speaker 5: I love the fact. Please, when I had her and
- 21:53Speaker 5: everything for the three days, I was up three days
- 21:55Speaker 5: in the hospital with her, and I refused to have
- 21:57Speaker 5: the nurses take her away. It had nothing to do
- 21:59Speaker 5: with that.
- 21:59Speaker 3: Were you afraid you were going to beat it?
- 22:01Speaker 5: No, not at all. Oh, my gosh, I love children
- 22:03Speaker 5: to death.
- 22:04Speaker 1: Why would you say something like that?
- 22:06Speaker 3: The reason why.
- 22:06Speaker 5: Is because there's sometimes that, you know.
- 22:09Speaker 1: No, no, no, not you, Elizabeth. I meant to ask,
- 22:11Speaker 1: why would you ask this lady if she.
- 22:12Speaker 3: A lot of young mothers rightfully give up their children
- 22:16Speaker 3: because they know, one more minute with this kid and
- 22:18Speaker 3: I'm going to throw him into a stream.
- 22:20Speaker 5: No, it's not about... Please, I've been at church, and
- 22:23Speaker 5: I've been taking care of children since I was.
- 22:25Speaker 3: Like, 13.
- 22:26Speaker 5: I love children. It's just that I wanted her to
- 22:29Speaker 5: have a loving family in the sense that she would
- 22:32Speaker 5: have a mother and father, a great house, a stable,
- 22:35Speaker 5: and they would have, like, a wonderful home.
- 22:37Speaker 4: That is beautiful.
- 22:38Speaker 5: I'm still going to college, and I'm still, like, you know,
- 22:40Speaker 5: not prepared with my life. So I wanted to give
- 22:43Speaker 5: her the best that she possibly could.
- 22:44Speaker 1: Elizabeth, this is Phil. I think you've done a very
- 22:46Speaker 1: courageous thing.
- 22:47Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 22:47Speaker 1: And a wonderfully compassionate thing. uh.
- 22:50Speaker 3: so i wanted to pay to the young lady i
- 22:52Speaker 3: think you've done but what if i could pick it
- 22:55Speaker 3: up at a time to complete paying have you ever
- 22:58Speaker 3: seen a perfectly good sandwich In a garbage pit.
- 23:02Speaker 5: I understand your viewpoint.
- 23:03Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. When you gave your child up
- 23:05Speaker 3: for adoption.
- 23:05Speaker 1: Well, you said the garbage pit thing is not applicable, though.
- 23:08Speaker 5: It's just, that's the thing. It's just like, yeah, I mean,
- 23:11Speaker 5: she would have been fine in me raising her and
- 23:13Speaker 5: perfectly healthy and had everything that she wanted. I just
- 23:16Speaker 5: wanted to give her a better life.
- 23:17Speaker 3: So you're not saying you were lazy? No, it's not
- 23:20Speaker 3: at all. Not about being lazy.
- 23:22Speaker 5: You know, I have to put myself through college, and
- 23:24Speaker 5: I've been working 80 hours a week, and I do
- 23:26Speaker 5: everything like that, you know.
- 23:27Speaker 1: This young woman is feeling emotional about this, Margaret. I
- 23:30Speaker 1: think a lot of your questions are a bit intemperate.
- 23:34Speaker 3: I'm just asking her, was she giving the child up
- 23:36Speaker 3: for adoption because she just felt she didn't want to
- 23:39Speaker 3: get out of bed in the morning and make the
- 23:40Speaker 3: kid a lousy bowl of cereal?
- 23:42Speaker 5: I miss her every day. I mean, there's some times
- 23:44Speaker 5: that I really want her back. The reason why I
- 23:46Speaker 5: was doing it is because I want to give her
- 23:48Speaker 5: a better life. It's not because I'm lazy and I
- 23:50Speaker 5: couldn't take care of her.
- 23:51Speaker 3: Do you go to bars?
- 23:52Speaker 5: No, I don't really. I barely drink, and I've never
- 23:55Speaker 5: done drugs.
- 23:55Speaker 3: Do you run around with men?
- 23:57Speaker 5: No, I don't, actually. He was the only guy I've
- 23:59Speaker 5: ever been with.
- 23:59Speaker 3: In a racial dating?
- 24:01Speaker 5: Uh, I once, but what does that have to do
- 24:04Speaker 5: with it? There's nothing wrong with a racial dating.
- 24:07Speaker 3: Are you an exotic dancer? Do you work in a... No,
- 24:10Speaker 3: not at all.
- 24:11Speaker 5: I go to church every Sunday and stuff like that.
- 24:13Speaker 3: Was the father a preacher of some kind? No, he wasn't.
- 24:17Speaker 3: Was he your father?
- 24:18Speaker 1: Will you stop?
- 24:20Speaker 6: No!
- 24:21Speaker 5: That is horrible.
- 24:22Speaker 3: I don't ask you to say black.
- 24:23Speaker 1: All right, that's it.
- 24:24Speaker 6: No.
- 24:24Speaker 1: Don't answer the question. Elizabeth.
- 24:26Speaker 3: Was it Puerto Rican?
- 24:28Speaker 1: Get her out of here.
- 24:28Speaker 5: Oh, my gosh.
- 24:29Speaker 1: She's a psycho. Elizabeth, you're very kind to call our show.
- 24:34Speaker 1: You're a very courageous, compassionate young lady. Thank you very much.
- 24:38Speaker 1: And you told me before we went on the air
- 24:40Speaker 1: you're going to be able to see your baby, not
- 24:43Speaker 1: when you want to, but they'll make some.
- 24:45Speaker 5: Once a year we get planned visits, and I get pictures,
- 24:48Speaker 5: and I get some letters every year to her.
- 24:50Speaker 2: Right.
- 24:52Speaker 3: Can I ask you, was he a Samoan?
- 24:53Speaker 1: Will you get.
- 24:55Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh.
- 24:56Speaker 1: She's, like, on this whole kick about adopted kids being picked.
- 25:00Speaker 1: Something about, haven't you seen a perfectly good ham sandwich
- 25:03Speaker 1: in a garbage pit?
- 25:04Speaker 5: That was the main reason why I was calling, because
- 25:05Speaker 5: I just felt really horrible that she's calling, you know,
- 25:08Speaker 5: adopted children like trash, because they're not all like that.
- 25:10Speaker 5: I mean, there are some times where they do come
- 25:12Speaker 5: from a bad situation.
- 25:13Speaker 1: From a bad deal, yeah, right.
- 25:14Speaker 5: But, I mean, you still shouldn't even describe them that way.
- 25:17Speaker 5: I mean, it's her own son. That's the only reason
- 25:19Speaker 5: I just... I just felt really, you know, compelled.
- 25:22Speaker 3: Have you ever seen a used tampon?
- 25:24Speaker 1: All right, that's it. I'm done. Elizabeth, thank you very
- 25:27Speaker 1: much for your call.
- 25:28Speaker 3: You're welcome.
- 25:28Speaker 1: And I know it was very emotional for you. I
- 25:29Speaker 1: really appreciate you calling us.
- 25:30Speaker 3: It's all right.
- 25:31Speaker 5: You have a good night, Ben.
- 25:31Speaker 6: All right, see you later.
- 25:32Speaker 3: Bye-bye. Oh, I suppose you're going to castigate me now.
- 25:37Speaker 1: Yes, I am.
- 25:38Speaker 3: No, I'm trying to say that little hillbilly trash, she
- 25:42Speaker 3: did the right thing.
- 25:43Speaker 1: Oh, the hillbilly trash and the mountain trash. Was the
- 25:46Speaker 1: father black? Do you run around in bars? Are you
- 25:48Speaker 1: an exotic dancer? I assume you live in a mobile home.
- 25:52Speaker 1: Do you blast up rock?
- 25:55Speaker 3: Well, get you all indignant.
- 25:56Speaker 1: Yeah, I am. And then finally, to top the whole
- 26:00Speaker 1: thing off, have you ever seen a used tampon in
- 26:03Speaker 1: a trash can?
- 26:05Speaker 3: Well, have you?
- 26:05Speaker 1: None of your business. 1-800-449-8686, the world famous Phil Henry Show.
- 26:13Speaker 1: And now a flashback featuring Vernon Dozier.
- 26:16Speaker 6: If you went into a house to buy it and
- 26:18Speaker 6: were treated the way that you're treating.
- 26:20Speaker 3: People, what would you do?
- 26:22Speaker 2: I would shake the man's hand and thank him for
- 26:25Speaker 2: dealing with me straightforward.
- 26:26Speaker 6: Well, I've got to tell you this. What kind of.
- 26:29Speaker 2: A question was that? How did you think I was
- 26:30Speaker 2: going to answer that question?
- 26:31Speaker 6: Well, I just wondered where you were coming from. I
- 26:34Speaker 6: would like to tell you this. My husband and I
- 26:36Speaker 6: have bought 15 homes. We had a great number of
- 26:40Speaker 6: rentals that we bought and sold. So you're not happy
- 26:43Speaker 6: with the homes you live in?
- 26:45Speaker 4: Pardon?
- 26:45Speaker 2: You were not happy with the home you were living in?
- 26:47Speaker 6: We build homes, and after we build them in five years,
- 26:50Speaker 6: we sell them, and we build another home, and we
- 26:52Speaker 6: sell it, and we build another home.
- 26:53Speaker 2: So you're not happy with the homes?
- 26:55Speaker 6: I didn't say I wasn't happy with them.
- 26:57Speaker 2: Why are you selling them?
- 26:58Speaker 6: Because we like building homes and selling them. It's the
- 27:02Speaker 6: way we create a pretty good estate for ourselves. And
- 27:06Speaker 6: what I wanted to say to you is that.
- 27:08Speaker 2: You know what I'm talking about. Somebody walks in and says, hey, Carolina,
- 27:11Speaker 2: is that toilet, does that flush? You want to kick
- 27:14Speaker 2: that guy around the street.
- 27:16Speaker 3: Mr.
- 27:16Speaker 6: Dozier, I've gone to a number of different open houses.
- 27:22Speaker 6: I go sometimes just to see what kind of a
- 27:24Speaker 6: person the realtor is showing the house. So when I
- 27:26Speaker 6: go to list the house, I know who I want
- 27:28Speaker 6: to list with.
- 27:29Speaker 2: Well, there you go. See, now you're the kind of
- 27:30Speaker 2: person that would make me angry because you're not coming
- 27:33Speaker 2: in to sell. You're not coming in to buy. You're
- 27:34Speaker 2: just going to.
- 27:35Speaker 1: No, but do you hear what she's saying? She wants
- 27:36Speaker 1: to see how the realtor is treating the people.
- 27:39Speaker 2: Well, you would enjoy my method.
- 27:41Speaker 3: Oh, no, I wouldn't.
- 27:42Speaker 6: Oh, no, I wouldn't.
- 27:43Speaker 2: You should see me in action.
- 27:44Speaker 6: No, I don't need to see you in action. And
- 27:46Speaker 6: in fact, if you were in my home... If you
- 27:48Speaker 6: were in my home, you'd be kicked out faster than
- 27:51Speaker 6: you're kicking the people out of the homes that you're showing.
- 27:54Speaker 2: Phil, can I ask you and Caroline Solis, I just
- 27:56Speaker 2: want to say goodbye to this one lady here.
- 27:58Speaker 6: Well, you don't need to say goodbye to me. You're
- 28:00Speaker 6: just afraid to talk with me.
- 28:00Speaker 1: No, no, no, she's not saying goodbye to you, Caroline.
- 28:02Speaker 1: He's talking to a customer he's got at the open house.
- 28:04Speaker 1: Let me ask you, Caroline, you're in the real estate business?
- 28:07Speaker 6: I took real estate courses, and when I retired after
- 28:09Speaker 6: working at the University of California.
- 28:10Speaker 2: You and your wife get out.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Are you telling somebody to get out?
- 28:14Speaker 2: I sure did. Get out. I don't want your business
- 28:17Speaker 2: in here, piece of crap. Some scumbag.
- 28:20Speaker 6: I cannot believe this.
- 28:23Speaker 1: Can you believe this guy?
- 28:24Speaker 6: I can't believe this.
- 28:25Speaker 2: I don't understand. I do. I'm very firm in my business, Caroline,
- 28:29Speaker 2: and I know that women love a firm hand. I
- 28:31Speaker 2: think you would enjoy... what I can do for you
- 28:33Speaker 2: as a.
- 28:34Speaker 6: Real estate agent. I wouldn't have you for a real
- 28:36Speaker 6: estate salesperson. If you were the last person on earth,
- 28:39Speaker 6: I'd put out a sign on my own.
- 28:40Speaker 2: Do you know what I do? I save you the
- 28:42Speaker 2: time of having to deal with a lot of lightweights,
- 28:44Speaker 2: people that aren't serious.
- 28:45Speaker 4: No, no.
- 28:46Speaker 2: I get the serious people.
- 28:48Speaker 1: Caroline, I wanted to ask you, this is Phil Hendry.
- 28:50Speaker 1: It's interesting, you're building and selling homes. That's a terrific
- 28:52Speaker 1: way of.
- 28:53Speaker 6: We have created a very nice estate.
- 28:57Speaker 2: Brown molding, huh? You know how many times people ask
- 28:59Speaker 2: me that?
- 28:59Speaker 1: Can you hear this guy? Because I can hear him
- 29:00Speaker 1: in the background.
- 29:02Speaker 2: Crown molding, right? You and whatever that is you're with.
- 29:05Speaker 2: Is that your wife? Get out.
- 29:07Speaker 1: Can you believe he's talking to people like this?
- 29:09Speaker 6: Is he for real?
- 29:11Speaker 1: Sir?
- 29:13Speaker 2: Is Caroline there?
- 29:14Speaker 6: Yes, I'm here.
- 29:15Speaker 2: Can I get your business card? Because I'd really love
- 29:17Speaker 2: to sit down and talk. I got some ideas.
- 29:20Speaker 6: I'll tell you, I said I took real estate courses,
- 29:23Speaker 6: but I never sold real estate because I found out
- 29:25Speaker 6: it was more profitable for me to do what we
- 29:27Speaker 6: were doing.
- 29:28Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely. I think what you're doing is great, but
- 29:30Speaker 2: I would love to be able to agent for you
- 29:32Speaker 2: and to... Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
- 29:34Speaker 3: No, no, no.
- 29:34Speaker 2: Get your hands off the counter. I would love to
- 29:37Speaker 2: agent for you and whatever I can do.
- 29:39Speaker 3: Listen, you would.
- 29:40Speaker 6: would never be an agent for me because I would
- 29:42Speaker 6: never have a person like you even show my home.
- 29:44Speaker 1: Caroline, this is Phil Henry again.
- 29:46Speaker 3: Yes.
- 29:46Speaker 1: I'm interested in the idea of building and then selling.
- 29:51Speaker 1: Do you bring in an architect?
- 29:53Speaker 6: Hey, hey, get your hands off the counter, you piece
- 29:56Speaker 6: of s * * *. Get your hands off the counter.
- 29:58Speaker 3: And I'll tell you something, I'll smack that out of
- 29:59Speaker 3: your hand.
- 30:00Speaker 1: Hey, hold on for a minute. Mr. Dozier?
- 30:03Speaker 3: Yes?
- 30:04Speaker 1: Who are you yelling at?
- 30:06Speaker 2: What business is it of yours I'm trying to do?
- 30:08Speaker 1: I'm listening to you yelling that you're going to smack somebody.
- 30:11Speaker 2: Some kid's flushing the toilet over here. I got a
- 30:14Speaker 2: business to run. What's the matter with you?
- 30:17Speaker 1: Anyway, Caroline, tell me a little bit about that. Do
- 30:20Speaker 1: you bring in an architect, and then you plan, et cetera.
- 30:22Speaker 3: Et cetera?
- 30:22Speaker 6: We usually sketch out a plan, pretty much what we
- 30:24Speaker 6: think is.
- 30:25Speaker 3: Flush the toilet again, didn't you?
- 30:27Speaker 2: I told you not to flush the toilet again.
