Yeah, hey, who should I take in the Boston game?
Well, statistically speaking...
Nah, no more statistically speaking. I want hot takes. I want knee-jerk reactions.
That's not really what I do.

This episode is brought to you by FX's The Bear on Disney+.
In Season 3, Carmi and his crew are aiming for the ultimate restaurant accolade,
a Michelin star.
With Golden Globe and Emmy wins,
the show starring Jeremy Allen White,
Io Debrey, and Maddie Matheson
is ready to heat up screens once again.
All new episodes of FX's The Bear
are streaming June 27, only on Disney+. Hi, this is...
Oh!
I'll bring him down a little in here, too.
I didn't realize Gilbert would be loud.
Nobody told me.
Go ahead.
Hi, this is Gilbert Gottfried, and I'm here with my co-host.
I forgot his name again.
Frank Santopadre.
That's me.
And this is Gilbert and Frank's Amazing Colossal Obsessions.
It's a little loud in my ears here.
Keep going.
Mine is low.
Talk amongst yourselves.
Want to start over?
No, I like it.
I like the natural feel of it.
It's like cinema verite.
Who else is here, Gilly?
Uh, well,
the old, blind, crippled,
black, blue singer.
A gold-bladder-less rainbow. He has no gallbladder? black blue singer a gold
bladder
less
uh
he has
no
gall
bladder
he was
born
without
a
gold
bladder
yeah
nobody
except
my
mother
knows
that
yeah
someone
said
he
should
be
sphincter
less
there was
briefly a
movement
on your
way
to uh no pun intended to uh have a little survey online sphincter-less Ray Vaughan. There was briefly a movement on your way to,
no pun intended,
to
have a little survey online
and people were going
to contribute
right in
all the things
they wanted you
to be without.
Because Gilbert
was scraping the bottom
of the barrel
when he got to
origami-less
and flypaper-less
and napkin-less
and napkin-less.
Something about
paper products. Gallbladder-less is pretty good, actually. It's back on track. Gall. And napkinless. Something about paper products.
Gallbladderless is pretty good, actually.
It's back on track.
Gallbladder, you're back on track, Gil.
No gallbladder.
Gil, you are sounding particularly sonorous.
Inspection, inspection stickerless.
Okay.
I see my timer.
Thank you, Frankie.
Did I already introduce it?
You did.
You might as well start if you have anything at all.
Okay.
First, I want to read one tweet I got.
And this is from Tracy N. Greig, I think, that she just finished watching my documentary Gilbert plug it again on.
Yeah.
My documentary Gilbert on Hulu.
I've tried not to like him.
Saw him on Celebrity Apprentice.
I saw what a tender soul he is.
Man like Robin Williams.
He's just so damn likable. They may be old and Jewish and little, but Gilbert Gottfried simply has mighty testicles.
Wow.
Who wrote this?
I think Tracy Greig.
Tracy, get help.
Yes.
And you wrote down the names of two artworks we got.
Oh, yeah, just a little housekeeping at the top of the show.
A gentleman named Mark C. Collins did a wonderful caricature of Gilbert.
We love getting artwork from people.
Very talented people out there.
That's a good caricature of you.
You should make stationery or do something with it.
We'll contact Mark and make another set of enamel pins.
And Bill Hobbs did a wonderful Floyd the Barber meets Lon Chaney Jr.
Oh, yes.
Which people tweeted us.
Very funny.
Which is a weird kind of hybrid of two things from your act.
Do you still do the Floyd the Barber bit?
Oh, yes.
Yeah.
I still do.
Oh, I forget his name now.
Was it Dylan meets Floyd the Barber?
Yeah.
Howard McNeer.
I don't really imitate him, but what's the guy's name, that extra brother on Bonanza?
Oh, Pernell Roberts?
Pernell Roberts, yes.
Yes, I'm working on my Pernell Roberts imitation.
In your hop sing.
There's a big call for that.
A big call for Pernell Roberts material. I think PatNationSweetie85 said,
you are my favorite bird and the best scream of my life.
Oh, I don't know about that last part.
I know.
Maybe I shouldn't have read that part.
Wow.
So Dara taught you how to read your tweets.
You've come a long way.
Yeah, it's very uncomfortable.
I still...
This phone, like, does 10,000 things.
But now when you're holed up in a hotel room on the road,
rather than watching the SpectraVision,
than watching, you know, Vanessa Del Rio movies from 1973,
you can actually sit there and work your device.
Well, that's what I do anyway.
Thank you.
Oh, Lord.
All right, we actually...
Thank you, Arnie Kogan.
And did anybody die since our line?
I don't think anyone died.
I don't think so.
I think we covered...
The night is still young.
The night is young.
We want to thank Alan Arkush for giving us a wonderful episode.
Very funny.
Funny man.
Really a terrific episode.
Kind of a perfect episode in our sweet spot.
And I'm always...
Well, I always say this.
I'm always surprised.
Because I never know how they're're gonna go across and sure there
are ones that i hear where i go that was okay and the audience loves them aren't you surprised
that anyone's listening at this point yes yes generally speaking that that goes without saying
when people say oh i listened to the podcast, I think, no, seriously?
Well, Alan Arkish was one of the rare guests that was listening to the show before we ever reached out to him.
Very strange.
Which was kind of cool.
Yeah.
He listens.
He listens every week.
He writes me, which is great.
There's something like I would not want to listen to a podcast that would have me as a member of the podcast.
Yeah.
He's not one of those guys.
Great story about meeting Groucho at the urinal and the Sinatra story.
This might not make the episode, but I have a connection to Alan Arkush.
Do tell.
A friend of mine who's a wonderful voice actress is in Get Crazy.
Oh, yeah, you mentioned that.
She's in the bathtub scene where they're looking in through the window,
and she's not clothed.
There you go.
Okay, get me a copy of that.
It's on YouTube.
I'll tee it up.
Okay.
Yes, and for two criterion,
please put Get Crazy out on DVD.
And I see on the screen,
I don't know if we can listen to this now,
Richard Montalbom discusses working with Irving.
Who's Richard Montalbom?
Ricardo's English cousin.
That's a Jewish type of brand.
Well, maybe if we have time for it at the end,
but I don't want it to throw off our timing.
We actually have something planned.
Oh, okay.
I know it surprises you that there's actually a format in place.
So thanks to Alan Orkish.
Thanks to Paul Feig and Gino.
Go see Paul's movie, A Simple Favor,
and do keep the cards and letters and artwork coming.
And I don't know if I mentioned when Paul Feig was on the show
that he tried and failed to sunk his own dick.
I think you did.
People are tweeting it.
It's caught on as a thing.
Gee, I didn't hear that.
Yeah, it's caught on.
It still makes me laugh that when he said,
I want certain things cut out of the show,
and he just wanted certain things talking about the movie.
Spoilers, yeah.
But I had said, oh, he wants the part about sucking his own dick cut out.
And he goes, no, he's fine with that.
Are you kidding?
That was the big closer.
He's fine with millions of people knowing that he tried to suck his own cock.
You know, we didn't even do that story justice.
It's so funny in his book, Super Stud.
I've seen pictures of Gilbert doing yoga.
Was he ever trying to get in shape for that?
Maybe what was behind it.
So we left off last week on our Hervé Villachez song.
Oh, yes.
And I promised you that I would find another one
from the Dinah Shore show.
There could never be enough.
Specifically.
And I told you and Frank,
Paul wasn't here with us last week,
that I was actually going to track down that Dinah Shore.
And Hervé Villachez, I forget what guests told us,
he was really jealous of Tom Selleck.
I can't remember either now.
Isn't that funny? Because he couldn't believe why Tom Selleck. I can't remember either now. Isn't that funny?
Because he couldn't believe why Tom Selleck was getting more pussy.
Oh, I know who it was.
It was, um, was it Mark Evanier?
Oh, maybe.
I think it was Mark Evanier.
Yeah.
Why is Tom Selleck getting more pussy than I am?
It was either Mark Evanier or Carl Gottlieb.
Somebody who worked
with Irvay.
Just because he's
the most handsome man
in the world
and I am a circus freak.
He is horrible.
He is horrible.
More on that to come.
But anyway,
we want to do
our own version
of kind of a
Golden Throats CD here.
We have a couple of these compiled.
These are the not-so-great hits of the Dinah Shore show.
Are you starting with Hervé?
We're going to start with Hervé.
So this is not the one we played last week.
This is the one that was near and dear to my heart.
Can I give the listeners one tip?
Go ahead.
Make it short.
This was recorded by Frank Sinatra.
So as you listen to this, think about which version.
Which do you think is the better version?
That's the question.
That's what we have to settle.
Okay, here we go.
As I approach the time of my life, I find I have the time of my life.
of my life i find i have the time of my life learning to enjoy at my leisure all the simple pleasures and so i happily consume this is all i ask this is all i need
Beautiful girls Walk a little slower
He's doing kind of a chevalier.
Yeah, a little chevalier.
Like a giant sunset
If I'm not a town girl
Say thank you
Children everywhere
When you shoot a gun
The piano player is trying desperately to drown him out.
It's only a minute and 38, the damn song.
But it feels like so much more.
Can we discuss his mustache?
I just had a frightening thought.
Yeah? Did Herve Villachez wear a wig? I just had a frightening thought Yeah
Did Irvay Villachez wear a wig?
Ooh
That looks like a wig
That's a thought
It kind of does there
With the porno sideburns
Is that song over already?
It's pretty much done
Because it looks like a bathing cap
The way it fits his head
And now I'm picturing
a
boulder of a villager's.
Maybe he just came from the pool.
So this song is called This Is All I Ask?
Is that the name of it?
Gordon Jenkins. Oh, I remember
the song. It's a great song.
It used to be a great song.
So you could find these, we should say to the listeners.
You could find these yourself on YouTube, the one we played last week and this week.
Irv did not have much of a recording career, although he did release a 45.
What were you able to find, Paul?
Beautiful girls walk a little slower.
Don't run away screaming.
Don't run away screaming.
The first time you did Herve on this show,
you did Herve Vilaschez, Incentive a Woman.
That was on a mini episode.
It's your name, Daphne.
You asked your nail number five.
Frank.
I'm sorry I reminded him.
Why do you open yourself up to this?
A fan was listening.
Somebody on Stitcher went back and listened to that episode. I was juggling hands on it.
And I went blind.
How is this not in the act?
You have to put this in the act.
Herve Villachez, Incentive Woman.
It's written.
It's done.
Can I edit Herve singing into the new trailer for A Star is Born?
Sure.
Tie those two together.
If you must.
I did not find any Herve Villachaz discography, as they call it.
But Gilbert will appreciate this.
I did find an interview with the London Express where the late Roger Moore referred to Hervé as a diseased sex maniac.
Oh, jeez.
With unnatural lusts.
He said that he slept with 35 women, mainly prostitutes, during the filming of The Man with the Golden Gun.
35 women during one production. Not bad. Why would he need prostitutes when the filming of The Man with the Golden Gun. 35 women during one production.
Not bad.
Why would he need prostitutes when he was so attractive?
Exactly.
Moore described
Viličež as follows.
He was a very small man
and he used to touch me
and I used to say,
don't touch me.
I wasn't being cruel
about his size.
It's just that he was
a sex maniac.
He had a lust for ladies
that was unnatural.
The Bond legend revealed
that his diminutive co-star, who was 3'11",
boasted of numerous sexual conquests with prostitutes.
All of them refused both his advances and his money.
Boy, if that's not the ultimate rejection, a hooker turns you down.
Moore added,
when we were in Hong Kong shooting,
he would find girls in girly clubs
and he would walk around
with a flashlight saying,
you, you, not you.
Incredible.
And so you're telling me
Maude Adams didn't want to fuck him?
I don't think,
or Britt Eklund.
Yeah.
He was mostly looking at kneecaps,
so he might have been...
Poor Irvay takes such a beating
on this show.
Oh, the poor guy. we have kept his memory alive he's just a romantic he just wanted to love he's is he alive i'm not killing he's long gone no no ever since i killed julie andrews
he was on the wrong he found himself on the wrong end of a uh of a firearm. 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.
Here's a second one, which is also from the Dinah Shore show.
And see if you remember this one, Gil.
Oh.
Equally as bad.
Telly Savalas, the haberdasher's dream of delight, has a new album.
Of course he does.
Called, interestingly enough, Telly.
And there's some beautiful moments in this album.
I'm sure there are.
It's called If.
Telly Savalas and his new album
you'll recognize the song bill if not the cover. If a picture...
Oh, jeez.
...paints a thousand words...
...then why can't I paint you?
It's disturbing.
Disturbing.
The words will never show.
The you I've come to know.
It's ghastly.
The funereal pace is the mysterious here.
Could launch a thousand ships.
Then where am I to go?
What's great is the video.
His mouth isn't moving.
He's smoking.
He's smoking while he's singing.
Yes.
But he's smoking while he's moving his face. Yeah, he's taking a puff of it.
Inhaling while he's singing.
Also missing in the shot is a microphone.
Yeah, right.
It's a neat trick.
And when, my love.
The bridge.
Yeah.
This is a smooth telly.
This is telly working it.
And this is deadly slow.
Yeah, it's just, it's just, he's right, it's funereal.
You come and pour yourself.
I don't want him to pour himself.
We've heard enough.
Telly Savalas!
Now, you may laugh.
Yeah, we did.
But that song, that recording, I don't know, is that recording?
David Gates, If.
David Gates, that's right.
Yeah.
This, where were you, let's see, this reached number one.
Yeah, bread.
Not in, no, Telly Savalas reached number one.
Telly Savalas?
Number one.
No.
Not in the UK.
In Lithuania?
In the Republic of Ireland.
Oh, my God.
And isn't he like Jennifer Aniston's uncle?
I believe he is.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's right.
That's a Greek thing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What else do you know about Telly?
You know, he actually had a recording career.
Listen to this.
Five albums, Gil.
Six albums.
Pardon me.
The two sides of Telly Savalas.
This is Telly Savalas.
Telly, which we just heard from.
Thank you, Dinah Shore.
Telly Savalas.
Who Loves You, Baby.
And finally, Sweet Surprises.
Because this was a nightmare.
Yeah, six albums.
And he said, Jesus Christ.
I mean, do you have anything else on this, Paul?
I left out another.
I'm sorry.
I should have left this.
His version of Don Williams' Some Broken Hearts Never Mended.
Do you know what that is?
No.
I'm sorry I left this off.
That was number one in Switzerland.
Really?
Yeah.
So Telly was charting in Europe.
In the UK, Ireland, and Switzerland.
Very disturbing.
Apparently, there's some version of You've Lost That Love and Feeling,
which I believe Gilbert Gottfried covered on a previous Gilbert Sings episode.
Yeah.
Which is number one in Kiev.
He was a collaborator often with John Kakavis.
Another Greek.
Another Greek. We'll call John Fotiadis
up and ask him to settle this.
Pretty ghastly, huh?
Now, Dinah Shore, for some reason,
would bring actors onto the show
and make them sing. It was,
I'll tell you, though, fascinating.
Really fascinating, because last
week we played the granddaddy
of them all, which was Gavin McLeod and Robert Blake.
Brilliant.
Yeah.
That was great.
With Gavin really mincing it up.
Yeah.
For some reason, people seem to feel like they're honoring a song
if they do it at a tempo that it takes you about 20 minutes
to get through the first eight measures.
Did you watch the video, by the way?
Yeah, I did watch the video.
The video really makes it.
So we urge people to go to YouTube
and watch it. Frank, how about
song number three? This won't
be a surprise to anyone. This is also
from the Dinah Shore show.
Raining hard
in Frisco.
I needed one more fare
to make my night.
The lady up ahead waved a flag
me down. She got in at the light.
You seen this before, Gil?
Where are you going to,
my lady blue?
It's a shame
you ruined your gown in the rain.
He sounds
like he's doing the Babe Humphrey
ball cart.
It's a 16
parkside lane.
I love the facial expressions. Again again go to youtube and find this i mean it's another one here where they slow it down to the point where
and he's got those 1970s collar yeah he's got the wide open leisure suit where it looks like
the flying nun her habit and. Didn't say anything more.
Look at the facial.
She looked in the mirror, and she glanced at the license for my name.
Smiles seemed to come to her slowly.
It was a sad smile, just the same.
Both of these are deadly.
You guys get the idea.
Have you seen this before, Frank?
No, but I'm going to go out and buy it.
Have you seen his Rocket Man?
Oh, Rocket Man's the famous one.
Rocket Man was legendary, but I was on a Dinah Shore kick,
so I pulled this one, which I think is what really killed Harry Chapin.
A couple of other critics weighed in on Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,
which is another classic of Shatner's.
Yeah.
And this is before he was spoofing it.
This is when he was still taking it seriously.
George Clooney said this is absolutely a desert island disc for him.
Oh, yeah.
Because it would compel him to get off the island.
Oh, yeah.
Did Hervey ever sing Cats in the Cradle by Harry Chapin?
I can't remember.
Who?
Shatner?
No, Herve.
No, I don't think so.
I thought maybe Gilbert might have heard it.
He's taking requests.
What else you got about Shatner, Paul?
I'm sorry.
Mad Magazine, I just want to, because they're friends of ours.
They've been on the show.
Uh-huh.
They called it Truly Unfortunate.
Yes.
Which I think is nicely said.
But again, another man with a recording career.
Look at this, Gilbert.
Eight albums.
Nine albums.
The Transformed Man, 1968.
That one I own.
Yeah.
Worth having.
Fantastic.
William Shatner Live, which is a live double album then uh captain of the
starship live william shatner uh live spaced out the very best one you were asking about paul where
he teamed up with nimoy the very best of leonard nimoy and william shatner a compliment a compilation
of william shatner is that he pretends he was in on the joke all along. Yeah, absolutely. I got a clip on that.
In the September 2004 issue of Newsweek,
Shatner was asked,
doesn't it bother you that Mr. Tambourine Man
is a camp classic?
He says, yes, in the beginning it bothered me.
They didn't know what I was doing.
But since people only heard that song,
I went along with the joke,
which is what you would say.
Well, he had no choice.
He had no choice.
Yeah.
I mean, in latter years, he really started doing bits on talk shows, doing comedy bits.
He did the Sarah Palin tweets, remember that?
Yes, and he sang My Way with a chorus line of Imperial Stormtroopers at George Lucas' AFI tribute.
He did on George Lopez's show, he did a cover
of CeeLo Green's Fuck You song.
Yeah, I mean, the joke was out.
You know, we've been watching the last month
or two, we've been watching the original series,
Star Trek. I just wanted to, I'm going to
walk out on a limb here.
Shatner is not a bad actor.
He's pretty damn good in some of those.
Yeah, he's good in those Twilight Zone
episodes. I mean, he's good in those Twilight Zone episodes.
I mean, he's got a certain style.
I love the Twilight Zone episode with the fortune telling.
It's great.
That's a great one. He did anxious and amped up better than anybody in both of those episodes.
The one with the terror 20,000 feet or whatever it was.
Whatever the hell it's called.
The one that Dick Donner directed.
If he got a nickel for every time a voice director said to Shatner it when we're doing cartoon work.
Have you heard that bootleg thing where Shatner's giving the hard time?
Where he's doing the voiceover?
Should I find that while we're?
Nah, we'll do it on another show.
Oh, it's so.
We should do a whole episode of those classic outtakes.
That, by the way, just because we're making fun of him doesn't mean we've given up on the idea of having him on the show.
Bill, as they call you, if you're listening.
We'll have to K make that call, right?
As Paul said before.
Here's one more, and then I got a bonus one for Gil just to go out on.
But this is somebody Gilbert likes to talk about on the show.
The closest thing to an actual singer.
But not his best work.
Listen to this.
You are the sunshine of my life.
Wow.
Stevie Wonder is rolling in his grave.
That's why I'll always be around.
Stevie Wonder is saying, why wasn't I born deaf?
You are the outcast of my life.
We've been talking about Neighbors singing with Paul Feig.
What the hell?
Isn't this just wretched?
And this guy was taken seriously.
Yeah.
Because he did the Gomer voice.
And then we'll go into this.
People go, can you believe what a great singer.
He's got gold records.
Yeah. It reminds me a little bit of Mr? He's got gold records. Yeah.
Right?
It reminds me a little bit of Mr. Donaghy, you know, on Jack and the Beast.
Frank Fontaine.
That's who he's talking about.
Yeah, the same exact thing.
I mean, you don't have to be knowledgeable on music to know this is not great singing.
Gee.
You're making news, Gil.
Yeah, but but you know
We can't expect these people
To follow the standards
Gilbert has set
No
No Gilbert's raised the bar
Yeah
But I mean there you go
There's a guy considered a singer
Yes
You wouldn't believe
The discography
Look at this
There's like 16
17 albums here
And all of these album covers
Have that
Same scary Al album cover look.
Right, yeah.
The colors are all...
Yeah, they're putrid.
Yeah, they're garish.
The faces they're making are real uncomfortable.
Yeah, they're always in a sweater under a Christmas tree opening presents.
Or hugging a dog.
Or you're seeing too many pores on the skin.
Like they hadn't developed the soft focus.
Yeah, they were out of makeup.
Jim Neighbors recorded multiple albums for Columbia and ran Wood Records.
And he had, boy, I'll tell you.
You sure it's not ruined Wood?
Nope.
Because he hit the top 30 on the Australian Go Set chart.
I guess that's the Australian version of Billboard.
He hit the top 30 on the Australian Go Set chart.
I guess that's the Australian version of Billboard.
He placed 12 albums on the Billboard magazine's Hot 200 charts,
earning him gold records between 1968 and 74.
You remember what Pat Boone used to do to those little Richard records and just sort of take all the juice and the sexuality out of them?
Bum, bum, baloo, bum.
Tooty, fruity.
All rooty. Robert Klein does a great bit about that. The sexuality out of them. Bum, bum, baloo, bum. Tooty, fruity. Oh, Rudy.
Robert Klein does a great bit about that.
But that's what was just done there to Stevie Wonder.
I mean, all the soul was taken out of it.
All the...
And with that throaty kind of,
you are the apple of my life.
Just, just, just.
It's pretty good.
It's horrible.
What'd you find out about Jim Neighbors, Paul?
Odds and ends.
I got a little question for Gilbert here.
Can you have Diane Cannon saying that?
I think he's got it handy.
He sang the national anthem before game number one of the 1973 World Series.
Yes.
Now, who won that series?
That was the Mets and the A's.
What'd you say, 73?
73.
Mets and the A's.
A's won in seven.
Despite him singing the anthem.
Despite him singing.
Yeah.
There's also some story about Jose Feliciano messing with the national anthem at the Super Bowl.
Do you know this story?
Either at the Super Bowl or the World Series, he did some kind of hip, you know, kind of like,
just like a barrio, like an improvised version of the national anthem,
and he got vicious hate mail.
Again, there's a great Robert Klein routine about it.
Don't mess with my national anthem.
Yeah, you can't play with that.
Yeah.
Yeah, he got terrible, terrible hate mail.
Gil, I have one to go out with for you.
Oh, boy.
This one will pick you up.
I had another question for Gilbert
on this. This is
related to what some people
think of as the worst show ever to be on
television. Any ideas what
that might be? You agree with that,
Frank? Which? With the kicker here, the one
that's coming up, that this is the
theme song. Oh, the one that we're about to
play. It is largely
we'll give Gilbert a hint,
it is widely considered
the worst situation comedy of all time.
So here, we'll play it.
Without further ado.
Because you like your Sammy. Everybody knows in a second life
We all come back sooner or later
Is anything from a pussycat
To a man-eating alligator
Well, you may think my story
Is more fiction than it's fact.
But believe it or not, my mother dear decided she'd come back as a car.
She's her very own guiding star.
A 1928 Porter.
That's my mother dear.
She helps me do everything I do.
And I'm so glad she's
here.
Avery
Schreiber's Captain Minstrel.
She was in that episode.
She's taking her place
as the fifth member
Of my small family
It's a fun theme song.
Yeah.
Maybe the best thing
about the show.
And she'll blow her radiator
This is the one Jerry Van Dyke
supposedly turned
Gilligan's Island down for.
Oh, yes.
And whenever she gets too lonely
We just all got spent
Well, he read the script
and fell in love.
She's my very own Guiding star Well, he read the script and fell in love.
Guiding star. I mean, a 1928 porter.
That's my mother, dear.
She helps me do everything I do.
And I'm so glad she's here.
My mother, the car.
What the?
I'm not familiar with the porter.
My mother, the car.
My mother, the car. And it's one of those shows still that is dizzying because you go,
they actually heard a full sentence that the mother dies and comes back as a car,
and they said, oh, okay.
Well, it's like your bit about Hogan's Heroes going and pitching
Hogan's Heroes.
Anything with Sammy.
Yep.
My mother the car.
Yeah, even Sammy
can make my mother the car.
Yes.
Palatable.
Yeah.
He just makes
everything better.
My mother the car.
I still can't find
anything on that
damn Sammy TV
themes album.
It's elusive.
There's no information. Home elusive. There's no
information.
Home through
YouTube.
There's no
information for it.
Anyway, so that
is our, that's
our little attempt
at a golden
throats episode
with help from
the Dinosaur Show.
Oh, you can
never have enough.
Yeah, really good.
We'll do another
one down the road.
We'll dig out the
Nemo's.
I know Anthony
Quinn.
Yeah, I found
some terrible ones
I didn't use.
There's the famous Sebastian Cabotot doing uh blow is a blowing in the wind oh not blowing in the wind
it's um the other dylan song i can't remember now which one it is um but there's a there's a
really terrible version of eddie albert doing blowing in the wind oh excellent really awful
really really dreadful.
In fact, if Frank can find it in post,
we'll staple it on to the end of this.
But there's some really gruesome covers.
Never have so many people sung so badly before.
Yeah, people.
I mean, those Golden Throats things were a franchise.
Drew did an illustration on one of the CDs,
and there were a bunch of them.
Anyway, if Frank finds Eddie Albert covering Dylan, which is, boy, why did that have to happen?
We'll close it out.
What was the other Dylan song you were trying to cover?
I can't remember.
It's Sebastian Cabot.
It wasn't blowing in the wind.
I think it's like a Rolling Stone.
Oh!
Listen to this.
So we'll wrap, Gil.
Oh.
And we'll see you guys next week.
This has been Gilbert and Frank's Amazing Colossal Obsessions,
and this is Eddie Alpert singing Blowing in the Wind. Before you can call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
in the sand
How many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned
For the answer my friend It, it's blowing in the wind.
I mean, that answer is blowing in the wind.
He is horrible! He is horrible! How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
How many years must one man have before he can see the sky?
