I really have not got to listen to Phil since he came back on the air. I used to listen to him almost every night here in Houston on the FM New Channel we had. He is back on an AM station here but it is like from midnight to 2 in the morning. From what I have read, i'm not missing anything. I dont mind the political talk, but the main reason i tuned into his show was hearing the guest and then hearing the irate listeners call in. that was so funny. if he dont have that on his show anymore, i dont care to listen to it. The characters are not good enough just by themselves.
