That's the sound of unaged whiskey transforming into Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey in Lynchburg, Tennessee. Around 1860, Nearest Green taught Jack Daniel how to filter whiskey through charcoal for a smoother taste, one drop at a time. This is one of many sounds in Tennessee with a story to tell.
Starting point is 00:00:53 To hear them in person, plan your trip at tnvacation.com. Tennessee sounds perfect. Hi, this is Hi This is Gilbert Gottfried I'm here with Frank Santopadre. We're once again recording at Nutmeg with our engineer, Frank Verderosa. And this is Gilbert and Frank's amazing, colossal obsessions with old blue star, Headless Rayburn.
Starting point is 00:01:44 There goes another body part. Yeah. You also have to appreciate the fact that Frank changes up the various blues riffs. Well, we don't want to be stuck in a rut. From week to week. We're trying to take the blues to another planet. You have at various points been footless, armless, ribcage-less. Skinless.
Starting point is 00:02:03 Skinless. Boneless, and now headless. I'm trying to grow some of those back. How are you, Gil? Ah. Nice to see you. Yeah. Has anyone sent you any Monster Times issues?
Starting point is 00:02:17 No. You demanded it. No. Somebody, I don't remember who, but they said they would send me some Monster Times issues. And I don't know. So far, they haven't. Any Chick tracts? No Chick tracts either.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Can anyone hear us? Is this on? With a guy burning in hell at the end. Someone will send them. Should note, I have not received a single $20 bill either. Well, listen. I don't know. Maybe there's something wrong with our transmission.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Drew posted something. What are you, posting laugh tracks to your own jokes? Someone's got to do it. That Diane Cannon. Drew posted something about the Monster Times today on Facebook. Oh, yeah. I thought of you. Drew posted something about the Monster Time today on Facebook. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:03 I thought of you. We also want to thank listener Anthony D'Ambrosio for the book that he sent me. He sent me a National Lampoon true facts book. Do you remember those? Remember true facts in the National Lampoon where they would shoot like a funny bar sign or a church marquee, a church sign? Thank you, Anthony. That was very sweet of you. And also, we want to thank Kirk Hammett for sending the horror stuff.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Oh, my God, yeah. What did he send you? Well, he sent the T-shirt. Great shirt. With all of the monsters on it. Great shirt, yeah. Mine was buttoned down. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Yeah, I think yours was a T-shirt. But we'll put them up on Facebook. We'll put them on social media. My son, Matt, who lives in New Zealand, of. Yeah, I think yours was a t-shirt. But we'll put them up on Facebook. We'll put them on social media. My son, Matt, who lives in New Zealand of all places and is a huge Metallica fan, declared that that was the best episode ever. Really? Yes, absolutely. Okay, but he was biased.
Starting point is 00:03:55 He was biased. It was a surprisingly good episode. The box of DVDs. Yes. Was that from Kirk? I believe that was for you from Kirk. Yeah, yeah. It had all the classic universal monsters.
Starting point is 00:04:09 And when you thank him, call him Kirk, not Kurt. Kurt. He's particular about that. And he also sent tarot cards. He sent all kinds of stuff. Oh. He sent that great tote bag. Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:24 So we thank Kirk Hammett, who was a gentleman and a wonderful guy. It's rare that guests send gifts. Emmett Walsh sent me a calendar and a trading card of himself from Wild Wild West, which I will treasure. But we love to get stuff from guests. We certainly love to get stuff from fans. Keep it coming. We will thank you on the show.
Starting point is 00:04:48 And what else did I want to say? We just did a show with Mike Giacchino, the Academy Award winning composer, and that was terrific. Yeah. And Gilbert was pleasantly surprised by how entertained he was. Did he ask Gilbert to sing?
Starting point is 00:05:03 He did not ask Gilbert to sing, but he is another guest who sang with Paul Williams. Yes. So now you guys have that in common. Two degrees of separation. Two degrees of separation. And he's another monster kid. He's a monster kid. So, we love to reference our listeners.
Starting point is 00:05:21 We love to read their stuff. We love to accept their gifts. We love to read their stuff. We love to accept their gifts. We love to read their tweets. We love to involve them in the show is really what it comes down to. So we're going to do a listener mail episode and then we get to hear
Starting point is 00:05:32 the cool John Fodiatis theme again. Professional spy, John Fodiatis. We're going to have John come in here and explain himself. Don't say everything you know about John. Did I blow his cover? And we're going to do a Twitter in here and explain himself. Don't say everything you know about John. Did I blow his cover?
Starting point is 00:05:45 And we're going to do a Twitter episode, a viewer mail episode, and Twitter is the modern-day equivalent of getting cards and letters. Tim Jackson says, Hey, Gilbert, I'll be attending AFI's Lifetime Achievement Award to George Clooney tonight. I guess that already happened. And all I can think about is that I just might get to meet Richard Kind in person. This is what Gilbert's Amazing Colossal Podcast has done to me. You'll be hearing from my lawyer. So yeah, it is a thrill to meet Richard. Yes. And Richard has been great to this show, helping us book guests. And, and, um, he's been a godsend. Yeah, and Craig Biarico does an imitation.
Starting point is 00:06:27 He does a fantastic imitation. Of Richard Kind bragging how of his friendship with George Clooney. I think you threw that part in there. Patrick Bodale says, I am seeing Gilbert do stand-up on Saturday. This was tweeted on June 7th. And if it doesn't happen organically, then I will just yell out, I am not leaving until I hear John MacGyver. Did this happen?
Starting point is 00:06:55 Did someone yell this out? It must have been last Saturday. Are people yelling things? People are not yelling things from the podcast, from the audience, are they? It's not so much from the podcast, but audience are they it's not so much from the pot but i will have people come over to me sometimes with also weird gifts yeah for that it's like that guy that did the he'll built the coffee table there was a guy who built the coffee table model yeah with with the dog shit on it the the lengths people go to it It's amazing. You really have to appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:07:27 I can't pronounce this. He tweets all the time. G-W-Y-D-D-B-W-Y-L. Smith. Yeah, it's like an eye chart. Gwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydwydw He'll explain it to me. Someone sent me, no, I mean, they gave me an album that I remember they used to advertise in the back of famous monsters that were Frankenstein and Dracula speak. Wow. And if you saw that album, you'd recognize the cover.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Was it Guy Marks doing the Dracula voice? I think so. Yeah. I think so. He dined out on that. Yeah. He played Dracula in that album we were talking about that Sid and Marty Kroff put out. Oh, yes. Well, anyway, however this gentleman pronounces his Twitter handle,
Starting point is 00:08:16 his tweet consists of dem bones, dem bones, dem ray bones. Yeah, I saw that. So there you go. Paul's becoming a celebrity, an internet celebrity in his own right. We're just going to have to deliver the album. It's really the pressure's building. You know, if they make a remake of Deliverance. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:08:37 We'll fuck you in the ass. Ask Marlon Brando about it. This is from Oliver. Ollie Bastardo loved the Willie Tyler episode and says, speaking of scary ventriloquist stories, and he sent this picture of Don Rickles as a ventriloquist. That was the one with Bobcat Goldsway. And there's Bobcat.
Starting point is 00:08:56 That's the original art. It was from the Tales from the Crypt episode that I believe former podcast guest Richard Donner directed. Oh, wow. So there's a meeting of podcast guests. Well, Goldthwait was in Scrooged. Yes. For Richard.
Starting point is 00:09:10 And I believe the part you auditioned for. No, I. Oh, you auditioned for the cab driver. Yes. That Johansson guy. Right. I almost said Scarlett Johansson. David Johansson.
Starting point is 00:09:22 No relation. I've missed out so many parts to Scarlett Johansson. Have youson no relation I've missed out so many parts to Scarlett Johansson have you? you would have been a great black widow yes Tom Jackson Jr.
Starting point is 00:09:32 says guys I was listening to GAFCO that is Gilbert and Frank's Colossal Obsessions and the topic was trading cards
Starting point is 00:09:39 and I found pictures of these two wacky packs that Gilbert would get a kick out of since he's a used monster fan he sent you Cracker Drack and Fang, a parody of Tang, two Monster-inspired Wacky Packs.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Well, you used to write that stuff. I did. I did. I did, yeah. I didn't do any Monster ones. I did Mr. Coffin as a parody of Mr. Coffee. And I think I did a lot of Death-inspired ones for some reason. Were these in the double bubble
Starting point is 00:10:05 or this was something Wacky Packs you could see it on my website or just Google me and Wacky Packs I did one called Gravestones Vitamins and what I was proud of
Starting point is 00:10:13 about that was I came up with the catchphrase yabba dabba death I was proud of that The Real Soldier number one I noticed this
Starting point is 00:10:22 while watching The Munsters last night Paul Lynn makes an actress break up and he sent us a Munsters blooper from YouTube. Do you remember Paul Lynn on The Munsters as Dr. Dudley? Oh. Do you remember the one where Eddie grows the beard? Where Grandpa gives some conversations we have on this show.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Grandpa conversations we have on this show. I just had someone tweet me about a guy falling from a hotel to his death. Yes, that's on here. He wants to know why we never talk about the Paul Lynn lover who fell out of a window. I looked it up. Paul Lynn had a boyfriend, or I'm sure several, but he had a boyfriend, and they both went out and got really drunk. And then they went back to the hotel and Paul Lynn's boyfriend was trying to show a trick he could do, like hanging over the edge of the balcony. And he couldn't hang there.
Starting point is 00:11:21 And Paul Lynn tried to hold on. He didn't have the strength. That's a true story. and he splattered you brought that up in the paul lynn tribute episode because of course where else would it go yeah yeah fond fond remembrances i believe dr dudley treats eddie munster former podcast guest butch patrick uh because grandpa gives him a potion to try to make him taller because the kids are calling him Shorty at school, and instead he grows a beard. And they take him to Paul Lynn, and he's got a paper bag over his head.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Do you remember this at all? That's horrible. That's horrible. Oh, my God. The spirit of Gino Salamone is alive. Chris McElfraft. Since the spirit's alive, can you have
Starting point is 00:12:07 Sandra Bullock saying to me, yes, I will fuck you. I will have to find that. He'll have to find it. Yeah. We'll wait.
Starting point is 00:12:14 Somebody, a fan named Chris McElfraft, McElfraft, McElraft, there we go, McElraft, tweets directly
Starting point is 00:12:22 at William Shatner. We're always a little sketchy when people do that, tweeting at celebrities. You should make an appearance in the Amazing Colossal podcast. We have not heard from Mr. Shatner. No, no. But Gino did interview him on stage in L.A. Oh, that's right. Gino did an hour with William Shatner, so maybe we'll put Gino up to that.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Anthony Rome, have you guys reached out to Robert Clary? I think we're going to pass on that question. Yeah. Okay. We'll explain it sometime. The Gookie, the Gookie, it's a Harpo tribute. During the Willie Tyler episode, he was trying to reference another black ventriloquist act, and that would likely be Richard and Willie. Do you remember Dick and Willie or Richard and Willie? Willie and Rising Dick. Does this mean anything to you?
Starting point is 00:13:15 There was another act. There was another black ventriloquist act. Yeah. Old penis or him. I guess so. G Culture 6666, he sent us a clip of The Night Strangler with Darren McGavin and John Carradine. The Night Stalker? I guess there was a TV movie, The Night Strangler. The Night Strangler?
Starting point is 00:13:38 I don't know. Which was either a follow-up. I'm weak on my Dan Curtis. Let's see. Let's see. I remember Dan Curtis also did like... Dark Shadows. Yeah, but he did like, when Dark Shadows was on, he did Dracula
Starting point is 00:13:56 with Jack Palance. That's right. Very good. Forgot Jack Palance played Dracula. Jekyll and Hyde, I think. And he was using what was really awkward he was using the music from dark shadows in these tv movies right right we just talked to jacquino about repurposing music yeah once you own it why hire somebody to do a new score in those days yeah he said just music that's lying around.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Music from the Batman series turns up in the Green Hornet series. Oh, wow. It's subtle, but it's there. Yeah. Repurposed Greenway Productions. Neil Martin, Neil Martin OBE, as Frank searches for Sandra Bullock. As I type this, I'm listening to the latest Gilbert Gottfried mini, number 167, and while I'm flying back to London and I just saw how to succeed in business at the Kennedy Center, please, please, please, please
Starting point is 00:14:50 get Robert Morse on the podcast and have him sing with Gilbert. I would love to. We got to double down on Robert Morse. I think we tried. I think so, too. Yeah. He was in New York doing stage. Maybe he's still here, and we should do that.
Starting point is 00:15:05 I would definitely because— We'd love to have him. Not just had to succeed, but— Beloved one. And he was Truman before anyone else was. That's right. He was true. Paul, are we keeping you up?
Starting point is 00:15:18 I think Rayburn just dozed. Yeah. I saw the eyes closing. So he joins in with the rest of the audience. Bron, B-R-O-N, sent us a tweet of Frank Nelson.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Saying, yes! It's you again. Let's see. I remember there was an episode of the Jack Benny show where he goes to a carnival and Frank Nelson has a sign that says 25 cents and I'll guess your age. So Benny gives him a quarter and he goes, you're 39. And he goes, oh, gee, what made you say that? And he goes, well, I figure I have your money.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Let's both be happy. I love that. Steve Albrecht, I just watched How to Murder Your Wife at Gilbert's recommendation, and while Jack Lemmon is great, Eddie Mayoff steals the movie. Yes. Eddie Mayoff. Eddie Mayoff. That laugh.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Yes. Yes. I always wondered if Dan Castellaneta was a fan of Eddie Mayoff. I'm sure he was. Yeah, there's a lot of that. He has that kind of voice. Yeah. Well, when he was first doing Homer Simpson, he was doing a little Walter Matthau.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Yeah, yeah. And Eddie Mayoff. That was a bunch. Yeah, he changed it. Denim Ellie hat. Denim Ellie hat. Denim Ellie hat. I wonder if that's a sly tribute to the character actor Denim Elliot. Oh.
Starting point is 00:17:10 The film community is divided into three sections. A, the thing with two heads is bad bonkers and so fucking funny. B, the thing with two heads is an interesting concept squandered by its refusal to discuss sociopolitical issues. C, what's the thing with two heads? Don't be in C. We talked about that with Kirk Hammett. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:17:30 I get them confused. The thing with two heads is the Rosie Greer, Ray Milan one. Yeah. And then, oh, the incredible two-headed transplant with Bruce Stern. Bruce Stern. Right. And who's the other actor with Bruce Stern? Our listeners are screaming at the radio.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Frank, Paul, what do you got? Paul is looking for it. We'll have it by Friday. Yes. Let's see. Let's see. It was the anniversary, the one-year anniversary of Adam West's death. Oh.
Starting point is 00:18:02 So there were a lot of tweets and posts about Adam. He did a very fun podcast. We were so thrilled to talk to Adam West. We wish it hadn't been over the telephone and the audio wasn't before Frank came into our lives, but we won't carp because it was a nice thing to have. And he, of course, paid
Starting point is 00:18:19 Gilbert that tremendous compliment. Yeah, he said I would have made a great penguin. Right. And somebody posted a poster of Adam West performing with Skitch Henderson live and Frank Gorshin in the 60s. And our friend Lorraine Newman responded on Twitter, and she wrote, holy shit, this is amazing. Go ahead. No, what do you got?
Starting point is 00:18:40 I got a cast of two hitters. Who was the other guy? Bruce Dern. I don't know. Here's what I got. I'll just give you what I got bruce stern pat priest casey casem no it wasn't casey casem i wish it had been john bloom albert cole barry kroger larry vincent i don't know who's the other guy john bloom wasn't he in Dracula versus Frankenstein? Paul, there you go. All right.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Who was it? John Bloom. John Bloom. All right. I'm going to dig further in here. I'm not sure I can get this done by Friday. Robinson. Or Frankenstein versus Dracula.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Robinson. Robinson at Heart of Darkness. Dracula versus Frankenstein. Yeah. You got it already? John Bloom. John Bloom. You got it?
Starting point is 00:19:24 He's good. Look at this. I think You got it already? John Bloom. John Bloom. You got it? He's good. Look at this. I think he was like an accountant or something. But we don't know who the other person is in the incredible two-headed transplant with Bruce Stern. But Pat Priest. Pat Priest was Marilyn Munster. Yeah. She's around.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Yeah, we should get her. She's around. Robinson writes, hey, Neil Hefty's name should not be forgotten. Oh, we never forget Neil Hefty. We never forget him. We hey, Neil Hefti's name should not be forgotten. Oh, we never forget Neil Hefti. We never forget him. We talk about Neil Hefti. I purchased a Sinatra song with imitations of a bat theme. I have iTunes, so it is impossible to find it and give you a name.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Google it. Scott H. adds to that conversation. Neil Hefti wrote some great stuff. Lil Darlin is maybe the ultimate tune for showing how to play a laid-back feel. That's pretty cool. Okay, so the second head is Albert Cole. Albert Cole. That is correct.
Starting point is 00:20:16 Very good. Very good. Gilbert, does that mean anything to you? No. Okay. We are moving on. Bruce Stern we have to have back. Yes.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Bruce Stern has already volunteered to do a second show, so we'll make that happen. We're going to take August off, but we'll see if we can get Bruce soon. Dernsy. Get him here to talk about doing a Dernsy. We will return to Gilbert Gottfried's amazing colossal podcast after this. The devil, the devil, tweet of serpent.
Starting point is 00:20:48 This guy's one of my favorite Twitterers. Lots of great anecdotes and reflections on classic sketches in this gem. He loved the Jay Kogan episode. As we approach Father's Day with the legendary father and son comedy writing duo, Jay and Arnie Kogan. One word, helicopters. Weren't they great together? And everybody loved Arnie's laugh.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Yes. You know what, Frank? We'll have to sample Arnie's laugh and put it in rotation. It was eerily similar to the day in Canada. It was eerily similar. They both get to one note and they can't get beyond it. Yeah. Here again is Steve Hanna's wonderful Photoshop of Gilbert as Maria Jusman-Skye.
Starting point is 00:21:26 And Steve writes, when you hear real Gilbert do his impression of the old gypsy woman from The Wolfman, you'll swear he is actually transforming into the old woman. He's transitioning, as they say these days. Here's somebody tweeting about The Great Race, Benderoni, a movie I love and used to watch with my dad. The most expensive pie fight in cinema history. It took five days to shoot and cost $200,000. Wow. The Great Race.
Starting point is 00:21:53 I love that pie fight. Yeah. And Natalie Wood is an abuse-tier. Yeah. And bloomers, which makes it even more special. And God damn it, Lemon and Falk are so funny in that movie. Let's see. Hey, this comes out of nowhere, as so often does.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Yes. Have you ever heard the Sammy Davis Jr. rendition of the theme to All in the Family. We played it on this show. Oh, yeah, that's where. We played it. That's where you heard it. Okay, that's where I heard it, on this show. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:37 And I can't get it out of my head, that passage, everybody pained their rent, freaks lived in a circus tent yeah he messed with the lyrics yeah yeah he did it like it was like sinatra doing yeah oh oh cuckoo bird this is you're a real gun cat only the rat Pack can get away with that shit. Here it is. We'll use it here. By the way Glenn Miller played Songs that made the hit parade Guys like me, we had it made
Starting point is 00:23:27 Those were the days Those were the days In the old welfare state Everybody really pulled his weight G.R.O. LaSalle ran great Those were the days Those were the days. Those were the days. And you knew who you were then.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Girls were girls and men were men. He hits the notes, though. Yeah, he does. We could use a man like Herbert Hoover again. This is some catchy shit. People seem to be content. Uh-oh. Fifty dollars paid your rent.
Starting point is 00:24:10 And freaks work in a circus tent. What? You know, I'll tell you what I love about that. Great stuff. Only the Rat Pack. Pete, you hand those L.A. musicians a pile of crap like that, and they are just all over it. Every cut, every rim shot.
Starting point is 00:24:29 I mean, the playing is fabulous. It's wonderful. I'll play a little of Frank Sinatra, Mrs. Robinson. Songs being taken over by music cues. While he's looking for that, Eric Ryan, Esquire, Eric M. Ryan, our super fan. We thank Eric for all his tweets and responses. The Kogan show was like being at dinner listening to four comedy greats knowing that real Gilbert would not be picking up the check.
Starting point is 00:24:57 I like that one. Gee, what makes him think that? Rob Bobby Vegas says Arnie Kogan's laugh is hilarious. We're going to put Arnie's laugh in rotation. Let's see. People are very excited that we had Peter Fonda. L.N. Smithy. L.N. Smithy.
Starting point is 00:25:16 A take on Alan Smithy. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's very clever, these Twitter handles. Speaking of Peter Fonda, have you guys reached out to Brooke Shields? What story she must have? She would be very good. They live in New York. Do they live in New York, her and Chris?
Starting point is 00:25:29 I think so. I've got to look into that. She worked with George Burns, and she worked with everybody. Bob Hope. A million Bob Hope specials. I don't know if she'll tell tales out of school. Maybe worth a try. Seems like sort of too nice a person.
Starting point is 00:25:44 She's a lovely person. I have worked with her, and she's very nice. I've met her. She's very nice. Yes. We a try. Seems like sort of too nice a person. She's a lovely person. I have worked with her, and she's very nice. I've met her. She's very nice. Yes, we'll try. The Shadow. The Shadow. I'm trying to work from home, and for some reason, Gilbert singing the goddamn Thick of the Night keeps popping into my head.
Starting point is 00:25:57 I added the goddamn. He didn't tweet that. How do I make it stop? Frank, has this ever happened to you? I even made my wife hear it so I wouldn't have to suffer alone. Well, if you're listening now. Oh, look what he found. Mama don't need the lady I'm on the road
Starting point is 00:26:32 Tonight Everyone needs a dream to hold I wanna make it on my own Running in the thick of the night. Into the city lights. Running in the thick of the night. A Gilbert Sings episode has broken out of a Twitter mail, of a Twitter episode. Very good, Frank.
Starting point is 00:27:02 Good find. Well, we'll have to sing Sweaty and Hot. Sweaty and Hot. I have to say, the late Alan Thicke, he was such a sport when we broke his chops about that.
Starting point is 00:27:12 We had him on when we first started the show. I did a pre-interview with him. He was so game. He rushed us off the phone for about 45 minutes. No one explained to him that it was an hour show
Starting point is 00:27:22 and he had to go. Yeah. And we wound up stapling that to the Bela Lugosi episode. Oh, they're sweaty and hot. You said my mind was what you wanted. So I turned you on. Things going on in my head. Also catchy.
Starting point is 00:27:41 You see those great big humps, the way they're falling. And see, this one you have to watch, too. You got to watch it. It's on YouTube. Also catchy. And see, this one you have to watch, too. You got to watch it. It's on YouTube. Because it's everyone is, all the guys are in spandex. Alan was a great sport. We hope he's enjoying his journey, wherever he is. You know, people wonder if a song like that would hold up over time, and it really doesn't.
Starting point is 00:28:04 It has not. It really doesn't. But I not. It really doesn't. But I tell you, the guy had musical chops, and some of those theme songs that he wrote, Oh, yeah. Different Strokes and Facts of Life and some of the other ones. And The Wizard of Odds, the game show. The Wizard of Odds. Find that theme song on YouTube.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Jeremiah Rickert, hey, Frank, I just listened to the mini about action movie lines. I can't believe you haven't seen They Live with Roddy Piper. He is featured here in his own soda. Rocket fizz. You didn't see They Live? I never saw They Live. That's where it's got that line. We did bad movie lines.

By the way, speaking of you singing, our pal Victoria Mature, who we should talk to for a mini episode, she's Victor Mature's daughter. She's on Facebook. She's lovely. Posted after the Fox, and I wrote, have you heard Gilbert's rendition of it? And she was well familiar with it.

Victor Mature wanted to join some like club, like a golf course or something. And they said, we don't allow actors in here. So he sent them a reel of one of his films. And he said, watch this and see if you could still call me an actor.
