Get ready to go all out for less. Hi, I'm Gilbert Gottfried.
There's a lot of phlegm in that intro.
Hi, I'm Gilbert Gottfried.
And I'm here with Frank.
Lord.
Santo Padre.
It's really, yeah, I'm catching it.
It is cold and flu season.
And this is Gilbert Gottfried.
And now, fuck me again.
This is Gilbert and Frank's Colossal Obsessions.
And, you know, if you speak to any current rock musician on who their greatest influence was,
it's the old, blind, black, blue singer, Paul Raybone.
I wondered where you were going with that.
It's not Blind Lemon Jefferson.
Yeah.
It's Paul Raybone.
Yeah, Paul Raybone.
And he's
175
today, but he
still was happy to come.
I gotta say, Paul, he's on the mend.
He just had, you don't mind my telling the folks,
you just had some minor surgery.
That's right.
And you come in here very fashionable,
wearing your slip-on shoes.
Well, that's because that's the only shoes
I could get over my healing knee.
Oh, is that what it is?
Okay.
Okay.
I thought you were going to be in much worse shape.
I thought you knew all right from the start that I was a fashionable guy. Where is this coming from?
People are picking up on the Paul Raybone, black jazz musician thing, by the way.
I think you got something there, Gil.
You hear him talk, and that Louisiana drawl is really...
We're having biscuits and gravy after the show tonight.
Yes.
We haven't done a Twitter episode in a while.
We like to let our fans hear their name on the show.
We like to communicate with them.
This is the modern-day equivalent of what I guess would have been a viewer mail episode in the days when people sent letters.
Letters, we get letters.
Like the old Letterman show.
But we do it via twitter but first i have a story about one of our previous podcast guests now uh bill
macy now uh before my my last story was that bill macy was at the screening, one of the screenings in L.A.
Oh, yeah.
For my documentary, Gilbert.
And he started gasping for air and he had to be rushed out.
And we thought, oh, well, that's it.
He's gone.
And so we called Darren.
I called him the next day and he said, you know, he was feeling fine.
He wasn't in the hospital.
And we said, well, can we stop by your house and bring you something?
And he said, I'm not at the house.
I'm at the casino.
He's indestructible. And so, the latest
story is
Bill Macy,
who's 80... He's gonna be
96. He's gonna be
96. Bill Macy,
who's going to be
96. Right in our demo.
He's
one of our younger guests.
Was rushed to the hospital with pneumonia.
Now we think for sure.
Yeah, when you told me that, I thought, ah.
Yeah, we think, well, we'll just have to send the wife a bouquet.
And so we call him.
He's home.
He was in the hospital for a day.
He's home.
And all he wanted to talk about was that the nurse touched his dick.
God bless that man.
96-year-old Bill Macy, very excited.
Six-year-old Bill Macy, very excited.
He said that they wanted him to pee.
So they stood him up, helped him, and they held the bedpan under.
This is also what takes place on every Gilbert Gottfried relationship. Yes.
Amazing, colossal podcast recording, but that's neither here nor there.
And Bill was going, and, you know, I felt funny,
and all the people in the room, as I wasn't able to pee.
So the nurse takes two fingers and puts them around my dick
and bends my dick, and I start peeing.
And I was amazed.
And I said, how did you do that?
And she said, I'm a fucking nurse.
I'm a fucking nurse.
That was her response?
Yes, I'm a fucking nurse.
Hashtag me too.
There you go.
That's funny.
Oh, God.
So Bill Macy, nothing will slow him down.
Okay.
I just got a future flash forward of, never mind.
When Gilbert's 96.
I don't want to go there.
Like next month.
Yes.
Maybe.
Well, so did you call Gino Conforti for his birthday?
Yes.
That's good.
Yeah.
He's a delightful guy.
I called Gino.
He's 86, but he sounds 40 on the phone.
Yeah.
And he sounds vibrant and young.
Loaded with energy.
Full of laughs and energy.
My God.
I'm so glad we do this show and we get to talk to these people.
Gino invited me to LA.
He said he'd take me to dinner.
So maybe I have to go.
Take him up on that.
So we have some tweets.
Raybone is on his trusty flashback, his wayback machine.
Would you like to play the harmonica?
I'm going to play us out at the end.
Should I start with a tweet insulting Paul just because it's on theme?
Absolutely.
Okay.
This is from
Why do you
even have to ask? This is from Troy Moore.
Troy Moore and he says,
Ha ha, you credited Vito Scotti
with the Godfather when you could have credited him
with Gilligan's Island.
Was that some Rayburn research?
Where does this guy live?
Alright.
This I love.
Oh, well, you can look up where he lives.
This is from Automatic Slim.
I love these Twitter names.
Fantastic episode with Mark Evanier.
Nothing makes me giddier.
I said nothing than Gilbert doing Herve Villachez, and they sent a cartoon of you, of Herve Villachez with your face on his body.
It's disturbing.
I'll send that to you.
I'll send that to Dara.
I remember we were getting into that whole talk about.
And no guest we ever had knew more about Herve Villachez than Mark.
He worked with them one day. And Herve Villachez was a real mean scumbag because he felt he didn't get everything that Tom Selleck got.
He thought, aside from the Tom Selleck money, he should be getting the Tom Selleck, you know,
I should get all of the pussy that Tom Selleck gets.
Tom Selleck gets billions of dollars and plenty of top pussy.
I should get the Tom Selleck pussy.
Did you see the Ricardo Montalban interview where he talks about how
Hervé wanted everything that he got?
Like if he got a bigger trailer.
Oh, no, we got to find that.
Oh, it's great.
When I was editing the episode, I was so fascinated.
I looked it up.
And he wanted everything that everyone else had.
Yeah, apparently.
Montalban's trailer and Selick's purse. Ivan Maltoban's trailer and Dan Selick's pussy.
That is art.
Bike Burr.
I don't even know how to say this name.
Bike, the word bike, and then B-R-H.
Use a famous action hero.
Bike Burr.
Yeah. If you look at
the end credits of a lot of sam raimi films we discuss this you will find people credited as
fake shemps yes yes this comes up the whole fake shemp thing uh we had that explained to us in
detail by three stooges expert eddie deason and i forget i think it's joe pal. I think it's Joe Palmer. I think it's Joe Palmer.
Yeah, who is the fake chimp?
I'm not sure.
Gary, a codename Gary Seven says, I'm not sure.
I'm not the only one who's pointed this out.
But Mark Evanier is the zealig, or maybe more appropriately, the Forrest Gump of the entertainment
world.
He's the lives he's led and the people he's met.
That guy has a story about everybody.
Yeah. Yeah. Wasn't that a led and the people he's met. That guy has a story about everybody. Yeah.
Yeah.
Wasn't that a fun show?
Oh, it was.
This is from William Lanham.
I sent him your autographed
Superboy.
Oh.
For those of us,
for those of the fans
that didn't know
that Gilbert wrote
a Superboy comic.
Yeah.
Back in when?
In the 90s?
Yeah.
A while ago.
Maybe even the 80s.
Was it the 80s?
We autographed it and sent it to you.
You were playing.
Oh, it was the knick-knack.
Knick-knack.
It was a knick-knack.
We autographed it and sent it to William Lanham.
Let's see what we have here.
Dave Mackey says,
I loved the Howard Morris story at Hanna-Barbera
where he told Joe
Barbera to go fuck himself.
And Joe Barbera said, I took your advice.
Sam the Sens fan, I assume senators.
Frank, I am ashamed to say I've never seen a Marx Brothers film.
Shame on you.
If I can only watch one, which one should it be?
Oh, Duck Soup.
I was going to say Night in Casablanca.
Yes.
Or Go West.
Go West, for sure.
Go West. Whatever you do.
You know what? Have you guys seen, I'm sure you have,
A Night at the Opera? I've never seen that one.
Is that a good one or not so much?
Do you listen to this show? Yeah.
And go see The Big Store. Don't see The Big Store. a good one or not so much? Do you listen to this show? Yeah. And
go see The Big Store.
Don't see The Big Store. How about
The Story of Mankind? The three of them are in that.
Yes, and not together.
There are three of them in it, not together.
They had all three Marx Brothers
but in separate scenes.
Yeah, yeah. Crazy.
Bad idea.
We will return to Gilbert Gottfried's amazing colossal podcast after this.

That's the sound of fried chicken with a spicy history.
Thornton Prince was a ladies' man.
To get revenge, his girlfriend hid spices in his fried chicken.
He loved it so much, he opened Prince's Hot Chicken.
Hot chicken in the window.
This is one of many sounds in Tennessee with a story to tell. To hear them in person, plan your trip at tnvacation.com.
Tennessee sounds perfect.
And now back to the show.
H.C. Marks writes, hearing this story by Evan Neer made me laugh so hard I almost crashed my car.
I don't know what story that was.
Hope he makes at least two more appearances.
So a lot of people loved the things people send us.
This guy, Ken S, sent a picture of Alan Ladd's wallpaper, and it was chicken patterned.
You see this?
Are you on the Twitter account, Paul?
Because a lot of people are.
Because according, and I believe it.
Yes. According, and I believe it, according to Ronnie Shell, Alan Ladd, a great leading man.
Yes, short leading man.
Yeah, short leading man, very handsome.
And what he was into was he'd gather women around him, and he'd stand naked in the middle holding a chicken, and the women
would start twirling around singing, you simply got to fuck that chicken.
You sound a little like Francis Bavier.
It's romantic.
It is romantic.
It's like a mixture of Francis Bavier and Margaret Dumas.
Yes, I give you credit because we've had these long-standing stories on the show,
like the chicken, like the oranges and Caesar.
Yes.
All this stuff.
But some people have said that your Jim Neighbors story from the set of Best Little Whorehouse
may be giving those old stories a run for
their money, and that's quite a compliment.
That we should add a new classic story.
And if you missed that,
why don't we
split?
That'll use up the whole show.
A couple of people also liked your
George Burns story that you
shocked and upset
Phil Rosenthal with.
Ken S. Ken S.
Ken S.
Ken Shaq.
You're going to fuck Dolly Parton and then fuck me up the ass?
It is beautiful.
Who says this show is not a tribute to old show business?
It is beautiful.
Ken S. says he sent a picture of Doc Severinsen, who is 90.
Look at this.
This is Doc Severinsen.
Wow.
Doc Severinsen is still with us.
Yes.
And playing at 90, he is playing the trumpet here at Santa Anita Racetrack.
How about that?
Well, he would be fun to meet.
Ken S. sent that.
Let's wait a while
and then find him on the show.
Dane Girard, or Dane Giroux,
says,
God bless all of you
and your George Burns stories.
Yes, all of them.
Yes.
Phil told a beautiful, sweet
George Burns story,
and Gilbert told one
that was not so.
Less sweet. Beautiful and sweet. sweet George Burns story and Gilbert told one that was not so less sweet
beautiful and sweet
Eric
Ryan says the Phil Rosenthal is
so smart and enthusiastic
about what's good about Hollywood and his
Math House story is a classic what an
outsized and talented character
so yeah so people like the Mark
Evanier episode which is gratifying to
us every now and then we just do an episode with somebody who's just got, you know, someone younger, someone under 70, as Phil is.
Phil's my age.
And Mark, who's not an old man, to come on and just tell stories and anecdotes, you know.
It's a fun little kind of something different that we do. And Greg, Phil told that wonderful Jerry Lewis story.
Oh, yes.
About when they wrote the movie for Alan Arkin and they wound up with a meeting with Jerry.
And Jerry said, I see this for Jerry 3.
What else do we have here?
Holy smokes, Gilbert, did you know that James Mason did commercials for Thunderbird Wine?
No.
Thunderbird Wine.
And he sent a YouTube link, which I will send to you.
This is just strange.
You know the Photoshop stuff?
Oh, yeah.
That people send.
And somebody Photoshopped your head on Ken Norton's body from the movie. I saw that.
I saw that.
Oh,
let's see.
Um,
two,
two,
two.
I can cut out the,
uh,
I can cut out all the vamping.
Uh,
Cynthia Dagnall.
These names are hard to pronounce.
Danielle Myron hyphenated Danielle Myron.
Please pitch the movie night series
you introduced
in this podcast
Phil
so that we can see
what a magical life
you lead
he invited us
he invited us
to his pizza night
yes
Phil Rosenthal
where he had
Peter O'Toole come
and all of these
wonderful people
come to the house
Paul you were listening
to that episode
weren't you
I think Paul nodded off
four minutes ago.
How can you tell?
I did.
No, I got a treat for you here.
Go ahead.
I just called up the James Mason Thunderbird Wine.
Uh-huh.
And the title of the commercial is Thunderbird Wine Has an Unusual Flavor.
How about that?
Is that good?
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Gilbert, you could do those.
You could call Thunderbird Wine
and James Mason's gone.
You could take the gig
with your James Mason impression.
This is very interesting.
This was sent to us by Rick Dennis,
who writes a lot to us.
Oh, Dennis.
Oh, Dennis.
In case you guys are wondering about his health,
Gene Hackman is fine and riding an e-bike.
There's Gene Hackman.
Oh.
Renting a bicycle at 88.
Jeez.
How about that?
Or buying a bicycle.
How about that?
On a bicycling website.
Gene Hackman looking good.
We'd heard the worst about Gene Hackman.
But he does think he's Martha Washington.
Really?
That's the only thing wrong.
I just saw, I turned
in a dial the other day, and what's the one with
Will Smith, Enemy of the State? Enemy of the State, yeah.
Great movie. Yeah.
Well, I don't think he made any, really
many bad movies, Gene Hackman.
A couple toward the end. Maybe Welcome to Mooseport.
Oh, yeah.
But, not to, here's
time for a little math out love.
This is from Mikey Anastasio, and he sent a picture of Walter playing the piano in the nude.
Oh, geez.
Have you seen this picture before?
I think that's from Pete and Tilly, the movie he made with Carol Burnett.
I'm jumping around here trying to find some good ones.
Some of these I don't even understand.
We love Phil Rosenthal.
The guy backed up a Brinks truck and unloaded half a ton of priceless gems and Hollywood gold, says Joe.
Coca-Cola.
And he can get dinner with his parents.
And he invited you to a film screening at his home.
How about that?
We've got to go.
Yeah.
Somebody else wrote that he was one of the few guests whose parents were still living.
Ray Gustini writes, TCM is doing a late night Capra marathon.
I know that you guys love Capra.
A hole in the head, I have to say, is pretty bad.
That's the one with Edward G. Robinson.
Oh, and Frank Sinatra.
And Sinatra. Yeah. Yeah, is pretty bad. That's the one with Edward G. Robinson. Oh, and Frank Sinatra. And Sinatra, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I thought Robinson was funny in that.
You did?
Yeah.
Oh, it's pretty bad.
Maybe Robinson's good, but the movie's pretty bad.
Oh.
Yeah.
The song High Hopes came from that movie.
Oh, wow.
Which John F. Kennedy, I believe, uses as campaign song.
Did you know that, Ray Bone?
I did not know that. I did not know that. This guy, I believe, uses as campaign song. Did you know that, Ray Bone? I did not know that.
I did not know that.
This guy, I love this Twitter name.
His name is two-thirds of my face is a cat because his avatar is his cat covering his face.
People put a lot of thought into these.
If I had known as a kid in the 80s that George Burns had an open-door policy,
I would have bugged my parents for a one-way ticket to Hollywood until they were glad to get rid of me.
Phil's story, again, about George Burns just going into...
Yeah, you could just walk into his office.
Mm-hmm.
Now, Ravi K. Bhatia, this is about the swimmer, Gil.
Ah.
And did you know this?
He said there was an SNL bit called The Man Who Loves Swimming, and it was a Burt Reynolds-John
Cheever combo
mashup funny to no more than 37 people on earth you being one of them wow i assume did you know
about that no stephen manhattan writes uh i'm watching my comfort movie we did an episode about
comfort movies way back yes we talked about hello about Hello Down There. Oh, with Richard
Dreyfuss and Ken
Berry.
And he sings the love
song to the goldfish.
Little goldfish.
He says, my comfort
movie is Who is
Killing the Great
Chefs of Europe.
Oh, Jacqueline
Bissett, George
Siegel, and Robin
Morley.
Very good.
What more do you
need?
And look at Gilbert
ripping out the cast.
Just like that. Chris Kilgore wants you to know
that gilbert's riffing lewd acts for diseases on the norm mcdonald podcast is a top 10 comedy
moment of the internet age i assume that was an offshoot of the Catherine Zeta-Jones bit? Yes.
Eric Conner, who recently provided a Producer of the Month episode,
Gilbert or Dara, someone retweeted me.
Does this mean they know I exist in the universe?
If so, even after a wife and two kids, it is finally a life worth living.
By the way, my six-year-old recently did a Gilbert impersonation,
unprompted.
The word proud doesn't cover it.
Could take that a couple of ways.
How about that?
Here's somebody you can look up, Paul.
Stanley Myron Handelman.
Do you remember him, Gilbert?
Absolutely.
Michael Gelman wants to know, says,
I actually ran into Stanley Myron Handelman.
He stepped into an elevator in the apartment building that I lived in in Riverdale in the Bronx.
We smiled at each other.
No words were exchanged.
He was really an original.
Did you know him personally? A funny comic who was on a lot in the 60s.
I've seen, I think I saw him a handful of times on stage where it stopped into like, I don't know, like catch or the improv.
Very funny.
Yeah.
He was a Brooklyn guy.
Brooklyn guy.
Yeah, he passed away.
2007.
His daughter is a comic named Stephanie Wilder, and she's funny too.
Yeah.
Anything else on Stanley Myron Handelman?
I'm just trying to work you into the show, Paul.
Merv Griffin.
Because I see your eyes see your eyelids getting heavy.
I remember he used to wear that newsboy.
Yes.
Yes.
He was sort of, what, a kind of a Schmendrick character?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Almost like a poor man's Woody Allen.
Yeah.
A little bit.
He was like tall, skinny, hunched over, and hand-in-way of talking.
Yeah.
Here's one.
Are you ready for one quip from him?
Yeah.
I just got up from a sickbed.
I don't know what's wrong with it.
It just lies there.
Do you remember a comic named Billy Braver?
Did you ever work with him?
Yeah.
I worked with him in L.A.
He was another one of those guys.
Oh, yes. Short in stature, kind of schmendricky. braver did you ever work with him i worked with him in la he was another one of those guys oh yes
short in stature kind of schmendricky i i i remember stanley myron hendelman had a joke he
goes uh you know one time i was in a restaurant and fred astaire was sitting at a table a few feet from me, and they brought his bill, and he didn't have his wallet.
And he said, could you lend me some money?
I'll pay you back.
And I gave him some money, and he said, I'll pay you back.
And then years went by, and I saw Fred Astaire, and I said, you know, Fred, you never paid me back the money I lent you.
And he gave me a whole song and dance.
Oh, God.
As corny as that was, it was worth the wait.
That's funny.
He was a funny guy.
Okay, I will urge our fans to find and look up Stanley Myron Handelman.
Yeah, very funny.
H-A-N-D-E-L-M-A-N, who has left us but was a funny guy.
Marshall Armentor.
Marshall Armentor.
I'm ashamed to say this this and others have told you but
showtime had those aerobic interstitial segments yes that you were talking about we were talking
about with phil i was too young to know what they were yeah and and uh i looked them up
and yeah it was it was basically like porn yeah like aerobic porn yeah oh leotard porn
yeah these girls would be in like their little spandex outfits all doing like their deep knee
bends and whatnot we thought it was hbo i guess i guess it was i guess it was early showtime
there's plenty of them on youtube for anybody who wants to pursue this.
Yeah, they're still around.
Three Oranges writes, Frank, I almost wrecked my car this morning when I heard Gilbert follow up Phil's sweet, heartwarming George Burns story with his other George Burns story.
Let's see This is the person who photoshopped your head
On the Mandingo
A picture of you from SNL with a Jufro
From I don't know what year that is
Oh it's the devil
The devil is his Twitter handle
Tweet of Serpent
I had to do a bit of digging but I found Gilbert auditioning
For Mandingo
Let's see What else And I had to do a bit of digging, but I found Gilbert auditioning for Mandingo.
Let's see.
What else?
What else?
What else?
James Stieber.
I always loved Matthau in A New Leaf with Elaine May and, of course, the late Doris Roberts.
So there's another connection to Phil.
Let's see.
Slappy J.
Slappy J says, have you guys ever thought of getting Eddie Deason on the show
was this week soon enough for you
yes we are
here to make your dreams come true
our friend
John Fodiatis at Empty City Square says I think
I once shared a cubicle
sitting between Jerry 1 and Jerry 3
hey can we
plug John's new producer of the month?
Let's do that.
It's really great.
Isn't it good?
That's really solid.
We're going to have to open the next producer of the month episode with it.
Yeah.
John Fodiatis,
a man of many talents.
Uh,
and he does,
he's an architect.
He's a fan of this show,
but he also composes theme songs.
It's,
it's,
uh,
it's his listener mail theme song that you hear at the end of this one.
At the end of this one, yeah.
Absolutely.
Thanks for that, Frankie.
And if you go to Patreon, you can hear that theme whenever you want.
Yes, you can.
Steven Manhattan.
I'll just take us through a couple of last ones because I think Rayburn ordered out.
through a couple of last ones because I think Rayburn
ordered out.
Stephen Manhattan says,
I'm still catching up
but listening to
Tony Orlando
curse Ed Gilbert
when he couldn't find
the right key.
Maybe the best thing ever.
That doesn't sound possible.
Doesn't sound possible.
I think that was
a little musical instruction.
Yeah.
We'll end with this. Trinity. Yeah. That was going on there.
We'll end with this.
Trinity, these names, boy, oh, boy.
Trinity Vidiori.
Vidori.
Vidori.
How would you pronounce V-I-D-A-U-R-R-I?
Vidori?
Vidori.
Vidori.
Vidori. It's pronounced Worcester.
Vidori.
I'm thankful we live in an era where a Robert Mitchum series and a Peter O'Toole series would probably get made on all the platforms we have now.
Oh, yeah.
Because that's interesting because now with Hulu and Netflix and Amazon and all of these things, you might see Phil was trying to set those shows up, especially in the O'Toole case.
I mean, the Mitchum thing got on the air, but it was not very good.
Okay, I lied.
I'm going to find one last one.
That's a picture of Gilbert.
Rick Dennis, again.
Three more names for you guys for your never-ending list,
because we love it when people pitch us the names of people to book.
Dwayne Hickman.
Oh. Dobie Gillis. Dwayne Hickman. Oh.
Dobie Gillis.
Yeah.
Still around.
Wow.
John Davidson.
We have asked John Davidson to do the show on numerous occasions.
Dara knows him.
He still works and he's busy, but.
Yeah.
Let me not be the person to point out that he did Mark Malkoff's podcast.
Oh, geez.
But turned us down.
Dara, what is that about?
John Davidson.
Can we repeat the question, please?
John Davidson, Darrow.
We're getting requests.
He will not do the show.
He said, let me just be a fan.
He's intimidated, I'm told.
He's intimidated.
We're told he's intimidated.
By the length of Gilbert's piece.
By Paul, I think.
By Gilbert's manhood.
Yeah.
Wait a minute. what was the link there
exactly
he'd like
huh
he'd like to help Gilbert
the way the nurse
helped Bill Macy
and
hashtag me too
me too
the last person
being pitched by Rick Dennis
is Dennis Franz
from NYPD Blue
oh wow
how about that
what do we think
of Dennis Franz
I mean
we like him
but I think he's one of those that just somewhere along the way said,
eh, I got enough money.
Exactly.
I'm just going to play golf and take it easy.
Exactly.
He'll do it, but he has to be able to show his ass at least once.
Is that true?
Is that a fact?
I didn't realize that.
Somebody pitched me today.
Was it you, Frank, that pitched Burt Young?
Yes.
Did you have Burt Young in here?
No.
An old girlfriend's father had a birthday.
It was a picture with him and Burt Young.
And I said, well, if they know him, I can reach out.
You think of Burt Young for the show?
Oh, that would be good.
He did a lot of stuff.
Yeah.
Rocky.
There's decent people trying to sleep.
Hope of Greenwich Village.
He doesn't look like a chatty Kathy to me.
He doesn't look like the kind of guy that's going to come in here and have a party.

I want to hear them even though Gilbert has contempt.
This is Gilbert's standard response when I call him and I say, hey, how about this person?
That might be good.
It's how he feigns
enthusiasm. He humors
me. The way you two work together, it's like
one person. I know.
It's magic. It's magic.
It's seamless.
I get a list of names. I'm excited.
I say to my wife, he's going to get so
excited by these names. I call him up.
