Phil and David absolutely LOVE guitar god and rock legend Peter Frampton -- Do You Feel Like We Do? Celebrating his recent induction into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, David explains how he first came to meet Peter and then work with Frampton on 2014's acclaimed Grammy Salute to The Beatles for which Peter played guitar. Peter tells Phil and David about how David Bowie -- his childhood friend and a favorite art student of Peter's father -- had a tremendous impact on Peter's life and career. Peter discusses the good, bad & ugly of having a success as massive as the "Frampton Comes Alive!" album -- as well as his recent recording for Dolly Parton's upcoming "Rockstar" album. Peter also answers guest questions by his "Almost Famous" collaborator Nancy Wilson -- one from David son' s Alec about his experience making the famous and infamous "Sgt. Pepper" movie.

It's another Naked Call In extravaganza as Phil and David answer YOUR listener questions and give the deep, thought provoking kind of answers you're looking for! Or maybe it's a little less serious and they discuss things like Steely Dan, the laws of attraction and positive people's effects on the world, Phil's upcoming tour (with a very exciting stop in Chicago), and the good and bad architecture of big cities.

To celebrate his brilliantly funny and profound one man show "Just For Us" coming to HBO this Saturday night at 10PM  and then streaming on MAX after that,  Phil and David are revisiting their wonderful "Lunch" with internationally touring comedian Alex Edelman whose acclaimed, brilliantly funny one man show, "Just For Us" opened off-Broadway in 2022 before premiering on Broadway in 2023; it was named "New York Times" Critic’s Pick both times and has already won an Obie. Alex broke bread -- okay, Courage Bagels -- at Phil's house. Alex brought along a surprise mutual friend, the great TV writer Jenji Kohan (creator of "Weeds" and "Orange Is The New Black") who will be a future guest. Please note: this free-flowing and fun conversation -- in which Norman Lear is discussed -- was recorded shortly before Lear's recent death.
