I’m a Phil Hendrie fan, and I love his spoofs of other radio people – his Art Bell and Jim Rome impersonations are perfect – but who the hell is this Combover Boy he keeps talking about? And is he the same as Forehead Boy? ---

Not sure if he’s also Forehead Boy, but Combover Boy is fellow talkradio host [**Tom Leykis**](http://www.blowmeuptom.com/). If you’ve never heard him before, Tom Leykis is basically a very articulate Andrew Dice Clay (though I like to think of him more as a male Dr. Laura). He gives advice to guys on how to get laid, avoid bad girlfriends, marriage etc. I like both him and Phil (Phil more though). Although I don’t espouse most of his ideas, if you don’t take him too seriously, in today’s oh-so politically correct, touchy-feelly world the stuff he says can be pretty freakin’ funny! And, like it or not, sometimes stereotypes can be a little true. And there seems to be no end to, ahem, ditzy bimbos who call his show to complain and just wind up proving his point… ---

But it’s intereresting, though not surprising, that Hendrie would be so hostile to someone who does some similar things. ---

I would never even think to put Phil and Tom in similar categories.
