(Who is none too happy that this thread makes him sound like Phil's whore, but is posting it anyway, because he knows a couple of people on this site are going to appreciate it, even if they don't admit it.)

Just imagine if Mel Blanc, Candid Camera, talk radio, and the Jerky Boys all got together and had a kid.
That child would be Phil Hendrie.
He's a radio talk show host, but so much more. Basically, his schtick is this: He does voices of various characters, who have insane ideas, and people call in who think the calls are real.
So you get the very real reaction of reality shows, combined with the wit of good improv comedy, combined with biting social commentary, all while you're driving home from work.
One night it might be a guy who wants to get a hold of DNA off the shroud of Turin so he clan clone Jesus.
Another night it might be a guy hawkin' Princess Di memorabilia (including car crash snowglobes, with little styrofoam cups and beer cans that fly around when you shake it up).
Last night, an elderly crossing guard was warning that people should be nicer to the elderly, or they might just find thier crossing guards weren't so helpful with thier kids.
Perhaps my favorite clip of all was the time when the man from Afghanistan was complaining about the smashed ham sandwiches in the relief supplies the Americans were dropping. "Why the ham sandwich? We are muslims! Where are the Jello-jigglers? Where are the fruit roll-ups??!?"
Of course there was also the time when he was the guy who had locked himself in his garage with the car running and was going to kill himself because he couldn't afford to get his kids a pool, and people were trying to call in to talk him out of it.
So like I said, it's really edgey, really offensive, my wife can't stand it, but man, it is ever funny.
