And once again, this is Gilbert and Frank's Amazing Colossal Obsessions.
It sure as hell is.
How are you?
Did you enjoy your sliders?
They're too hot to eat.
I beg your pardon?
Our good friend Adam Dorn.
That kind of language I don't allow on this podcast.
We're at Earwolf.
Somebody had a birthday party.
There were sliders.
And our pal Adam Dorn, who's a very gifted musician, who scored the recent Robin Williams documentary, among other things.
You can find him on social media and harass him.
Brought Gilbert a tray of sliders.
That I almost choked on.
We almost lost Gilbert.
It was a mama Cass moment.
Thank you, Arnie.
People haven't caught on to the Arnie Kogan laugh yet the way they have the Diane Cannon laugh.
What did Diane Cannon think of that joke?
He is horrible.
I've determined that, you know.
That was Dara actually on Gilbert's wedding night.
That's right.
But the Kogan laugh is pretty close to the Raymond laugh.
Not bad.
Sometimes.
Yeah.
There are similarities.
As I take a grape out of my mouth and be a professional here.
Gilbert. Gilbert.
Yes.
We want to thank a listener who sent some gifts.
This is Michael Esslinger.
And he sent two books.
Michael is a writer.
And he sent a book.
I am reaching off mic to grab Michael's book.
Escaping Alcatraz.
The untold story of the greatest prison break in American history.
Forward by Richard Tuggle, screenwriter of the classic motion picture.
That's a pretty good movie.
Yeah.
Escape from Alcatraz.
Clint Eastwood.
Clint Eastwood, Don Siegel.
Yeah.
So he decided to send you a book as a gift because he's a fan of the show.
And I think that actor who played.
Oh, Larry Hankin. Yeah,in yeah kramer yes he's in it
larry hankin from the committee he also wrote a book with julie dawn cole who i believe is the
actress the child actress who played veruca salt yes in the willy wonka i'm holding this up can
you see this adam and frank he wrote he co-wrote See, I hear the song in my mind, but I don't know the
words. I want it all. The book is called I Want It Now. I want, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Julie
Dawn Cole has written an enchanting and richly illustrated memoir. This is, so yeah, so we'll
plug these. And if you want to contact Michael Esslinger, E-S-S-L-I-N-G-E-R,
on social media or on Facebook,
you can find out how to get these two cool books.
And she autographed it for me.
She did autograph it for Gilbert, which was very nice.
It just goes to make the point we've made before.
We have incredibly talented fans.
Yes.
Present company excluded.
I'm just saying.
Yeah, we do.
That might be actually Michael's signature and not Julie's signature.
Oh, gee.
But it still counts.
And that was very generous of you, Michael.
And as always, Gilbert likes getting gifts.
So keep them coming.
And Frank never gets anything.
I'm still waiting on money from the nutmeg days.
Yeah.
I could be referring to it.
No one sent nothing.
What did you do with all those Monster Times that people sent you?
Oh, I looked through them.
Those are great.
Yeah.
Did Dara enjoy you bringing a 45-year-old newspaper into the house?
Oh, yes.
Hey, I just found this eBay account that says Real Gilbert Gifts.
That's weird.
What's that about?
Is it a registry?
No, it's a –
It's Gilbert Registry.
He's auctioning off fan gifts.
No shit.
All right, Gil.
So we're going to do something very simple.
We're going to hear from our fans.
We're going to do a little Twitter,
and I'm going to surprise you at the end with a little bit of Facebook
because our Facebook followers complain that we're always doing Twitter.
But Twitter's easier because I can hold the phone in my hand.
I was worried once about little Twitter, but I took Blue Chew as per Gilbert's recommendation.
Oh, that's nice.
And I like holding it in my hand.
Yeah, it's easier for all of us.
This is going to be one of those shows that makes it hard to get through.
Bob Ducart.
And?
Yes.
Thank you, Gino.
Frank, do you have a handle on the age, the average age of your listeners?
I don't think we do.
Yeah.
Do we?
Deceased.
Yeah, like, yeah.
You either have to be a trivia buff or have lived a somewhat longer life with an above
average interest in TV, movies, music, and the arts for this show to resonate.
It is unique.
Keep it up.
That's true.
Yeah.
That's true.
Yeah. We get a lot of fan mail from people who say, I can't is unique. Keep it up. That's true. Yeah. That's true. Yeah.
We get a lot of fan mail
from people who say,
I can't believe you brought that thing up.
Or we also get those ones
who are way too young,
but then they start looking it up.
Which we appreciate.
Yeah.
Unique.
Keep it up.
The new tagline for Blue Chew.
Yes.
Very good.
You keep bringing that Blue Chew back.
It's delicious.
Why don't you do Blue Chew's read?
I don't understand why people don't eat it more.
They're like chiclets with a bonus.
It's so good.
With an extra bonus.
They're like chiclets with a boner.
Yes.
They don't even list calories on them.
Yes.
Yes, so keep those gifts coming.
Yeah, I love those gifts.
Captain Donald T. River sent me a screen capture.
You must have gotten this one too, Gilbert.
It's tweeted to you as well.
I think they got the recipe wrong.
I don't even see a glass coffee table.
It is a menu with eggs Danny Thomas style.
It's one of the items on the menu.
I don't even want to know.
It's one of those dishes that's pre-chewed and pre-digested.
I don't know what to say.
If Arnie only knew that he was making weekly appearances.
We owe him something.
I love Arnie to death.
Elizabeth Daly.
Hey, guys.
I love the Tom Holland episode.
When Frank mentioned reading credits growing up, I have to add this.
At four years old, my first reading of any kind was Fuzzy Night in Cowboy and the Lady.
Does that mean anything to you?
That's something that brought to you by Blue Chew.
Fuzzy Night?
Fuzzy Night.
I was a grown-up after that.
That's what I named my guy.
I do not know Fuzzy Knight.
Do you want to meet the Fuzzy Knight?
Fuzzy Knight with a K.
Fuzzy Knight, I can assume he had a lance.
I don't know.
Rabbi David Komarowski reacts to the eggs Danny Thomas style
and says this is not kosher on several levels.
I think that's true.
Mike C., next week on MeTV,
and Sven Gulli, the tingler.
Gilbert needs to tune in and see the tingler.
Run, run for your lives.
No, run what?
Fuck me.
Vincent Price.
You forgot your impression.
Scream, scream for your lives.
The tingler is loose in the theater.
And my favorite part is, we now resume to our movie.
Luis Linares.
Luis Linares.
Old showbiz savantism reaches a delightful critical mass
on the latest Gilbert Gottfried podcast.
We had Tom Johnson and David Fantel in here.
Two very entertaining gentlemen.
A lot of fun.
And they told a great Jacqueline Bissett story.
Yeah.
And an Yvette Mimeo story that I think you've been dining out on.
But the one I've been really dining out on is they say they saw a dog licking Jacqueline Bissett's crotch.
I don't think they went quite that far.
Yeah, that's what they told me.
These stories get passed through the Gilbert filter.
Hey.
They're like Joe Friedman stories.
Next thing you know, Clark Gable's getting it on with Annie Devine.
They did.
Yeah.
In fact, there's a little-known film.
Reed Hawkins, what an enjoyable and quick hour,
1.5 hours listening to Fantolin Johnson.
I can only imagine what your Jack Carter interview would have been, Gilbert.
Oh, that would have been great.
I can only guess it would be like the Pat Cooper interview, but on steroids.
Pat Cooper was fairly angry.
I'm not sure he was quite in the Jack Carter.
Yeah, Jack Carter made Pat Cooper look like just a happy, easy-going guy.
Like Richard Simmons.
Big Daddy says, hey, Gil, if I get a pair of those Swifty Lazar glasses,
can I be Yvette Mimeo's manager?
This was another great episode.
Keep them coming.
If you guys are listening to this but you have not heard the Fantel and Johnson episode,
get your hands on it because great stories.
They saw Yvette Mimeo naked and dripping wet.
Other stories in the book.
No, that's the only one I heard.
We're never going to get Yvette Mimeo on the podcast now.
Well, I'm sure Jacqueline Bissett's dying to do it now.
Let's see what else we have.
Secret Asian Man.
Secret Asian Man.
I love that.
We'll get in trouble for that one.
Frank, have you had Maurice LaMarche on the podcast?
Oh, yeah.
The man from Pinky and the Brain.
Yes.
Who does the best Orson Welles.
Yes.
There is.
In fact, he looped.
I might know a better one.
You do?
Do you know Todd Hanson?
Todd Hanson from The Onion?
Yeah.
He does Orson Welles?
Adam sat in on a session we did tonight with him.
No kidding. But he doesn't do, it's just his voice is just Orson Welles? Adam sat in on a session we did tonight with him. Spectacular. No kidding.
But he doesn't do, it's just his voice is just Orson Welles.
Will Todd come and talk to us?
Totally.
He's a strange cat, I understand.
He's wonderful.
Yeah.
Brad Meyer is writing very much.
Maurice LaMarche looped Vincent D'Onofrio.
Oh, yes.
In Ed Wood.
Yeah.
Doing the voice of Orson Welles.
You know who did, who handled it very well in that movie, Gods and Monsters?
It's supposed to be Boris Karloff shows up at a party.
Yeah.
The James Whale movie.
Yeah.
And they have a guy who looks like him, and also they make him up to look like Boris Karloff.
And I think the voice was dubbed in, but it was look like Boris Karloff. And I think the voice was dubbed in,
but it was an excellent Boris Karloff.
As good as your Karloff?
Well, see, that's the, I mean,
like most Karloffs are,
I'm Boris Karloff.
They're very exaggerated, like Frankenberry.
Yeah, yes.
Yeah.
But his was very conversational. Good movie.
We were talking to Leonard Maltin tonight
about bad biopics, and that's a good one.
That James Whale movie,
Gods and Monsters.
Rob Paulson, who we've had on the show,
is a friend of Maurice's, obviously.
He's pinky to Maurice's
brain. We'll see if Maurice
wants to come and talk to us.
I love these
tweets that just sort of float in space.
John J. Launder writes,
Some say it might be tangerines or clementines.
Oh, yes.
Yeah, we know what that's about.
Mark Arnold, here's a man after your own heart, Gilbert.
Since Gilbert got jealous of David Fantel and Tom Johnson on another great episode,
I thought I'd help out with a pic.
Here's Yvette Mimeo feeding a cat.
Make up your own puns.
Or playing with a cat.
Ah, even better.
Yes.
So that's Yvette Mimeo playing with her pussy.
Oh, right now.
There's always one in every bunch.
Brought to you by Blue Chew.
In comedy, Bob Rose Jr. says, in comedy right bob rose jr says in comedy
writer jack douglas's memoir which was called a funny thing happened to me on the way my way to
the grave he confirmed that yes he would write alternative lines for bob hope when doing the
road movies ah remember we debated yes david and tom because it was always that thing of like the
stories that oh well they tossed away their scripts and just played off the...
No, they had their own writers write them a script.
Yes.
Eddie Love.
Eddie Love writes, true story.
I'm watching The Love Bug with my kids.
When Buddy Hackett shows up, both kids opine.
He looks just like the fat funny guy from the scary movies.
We had been watching Abbott and Costello
meets Frankenstein so his kids much like your son yeah made the connection between Buddy Hackett and
Luke Costello so of course now he's going to show them yeah he'll show them butt and loo and
scar them for life you know I think I had a lot of strawberry malted in my day, but this one's the best.
He threw in a strawberry malted hashtag.
Now, we should say that we had Buddy Hackett's son on the show, Sandy Hackett, a couple of weeks ago.
Gilbert did that impression for him, and he didn't care for your Buddy Hackett.
He's just picky.
He's just picky. He's just picky.
And how the hell does he know?
Exactly.
Only his kid.
Speaking of Maltins, we just had Leonard Malted on.
Leonard Malted.
James Steber says,
How can you and your guest discuss Rod Steiger without mistaken,
without being, huh?
How can you and your guest discuss Rod Steiger being mistaken for Jewish
without mentioning his role as Rabbi Saunders in The Chosen?
Oh, that's right.
Rod Steiger played a rabbi?
Yes, yes.
Wow.
And the other Jewish father was Maximilian Schell.
Good actor.
Also non-Jew.
Yes.
And it was with Robbie Benson.
Oh, yeah, I know that picture.
And I forget that other actor's name who was the other son.
The Chosen.
I know.
If we had Paul.
Was it Scott Jacoby or one of those?
Yeah.
If Paul was here to look it up.
I think it was Arnold Stank.
I think it was the kid from Fame.
Yeah, probably.
That played the other child.
I don't know. But, yeah. Yeah, probably. That played the other child.
Yeah, I remember Steiger as the rabbi.
How about that?
You know, Maximilian Schell would have been a great guest.
Gone.
As Steiger.
Long distance calls, both of them.
I just realized having Paul here versus not Paul here, look it up.
I can tell you it was an actor named Barry Miller.
Barry Miller from Fame.
It was in fact the right actor.
You were right. Hey, they don From Fame. Yeah. It was, in fact, the right actor. You were right.
Hey, they don't give these shows to just chimps.
So I think he was the only Jew in the...
No, chimps would be a lot more talented.
Thank you.
Robert Martin.
If an annual Mario Cantone 2018 holiday podcast is hopefully being planned, but of course,
would we let you down?
Could it possibly involve
Richard Kine so all could
feud over Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol?
This guy wants a feud.
He wants you guys to
throw down.
Because I'm on
Richard Kine's side
that I love the Mr. Magoo one.
Okay, we'll see if we can Skype Richard in
or if Richard's in town. Yeah, hopefully he'll be here.
Yeah.
Axe Girl.
Axe Girl.
A-X-E.
I thought you guys might appreciate this.
I just spent the weekend teaching at a girls' rock and roll camp.

That sounds like a bad 80s comedy co-starring Eddie Deason and Gilbert Gottfried.
Friday at 8 on TNT.
Sponsored in part by Blue Chew.
Bad TNA.
I just spent the weekend teaching at a girls' rock camp
that took place in the halls and rooms of the high school
that Rich Little and Lorne Green went to.
Holy shit.
That's got to be in Canada.
It was John MacGyver's birthday this week.
Oh!
I'm going to have a birthday party this week,
and everything must be done according to schedule.
We will have no slackers involved here.
Everything must be done beyond professionally.

Erica D. writes,
John MacGyver was terrific in a movie
called Man's Favorite Sport.
Oh, no way, I think that was a Gilligan's Island episode.
He was constantly losing his toupee.
He lived the way he spoke.
A very memorable guy.
Very interesting.
Bill Koston wants to correct us and say Fred Astaire broke his wrist
trying to learn to skateboard, not his ankle.
Oh, okay.
Once again, our fans know too much.
And John MacGyver was in Midnight Cowboy.
Sure in hell was.
You've got a strong back, Joe Buck.
You're going to need it.
Adam, before you tuned into this podcast, did you know who John MacGyver was?
I did not.
Did you get half of these references?
I know them now because you've ruined my life.
I know everything about every bizarre actor
in the history of cinema.
Okay, but you didn't know MacGyver.
Well, I did, well.
Funny old Daniel freaking out like that.
That's what after his-
Oh, you're doing Ratso?
Yeah.
Okay, I'm tracking.
Funny old Daniel.
I'm tracking it.
Our friend Steve Hanna, Photoshop artist extraordinaire.
Yeah.
Did a, this one is-
Hysterical.
This one is you.
Fast forward to, if you're on Twitter, go look at Steve Hanna's work, H-A-N-N-A-H.
Fast forward to 2038, David and Tom Johnson catch up with comedian Gilbert Gottfried to
ask how political correctness led him to being blackballed from showbiz.
And they also asked about his choice of eyewear.
This is a Photoshop of you.
Wearing those giant glasses that you talked about in the year 2038 your swifty lazar uh moment you you had
mentioned on the podcast dean martin and ed mcmahon both late in life had those where it looks like
you were wearing two movie screens on your face yep yep yep yep, yep. Yeah, Swifty was sort of a...
Who else wore those?
Ed McMahon?
Yeah, Ed McMahon and Dean Martin.
Alan Carr had those big kind of glasses.
Oh, that's right.
That's right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, and who was that guy that Will...
from Saturday Night Live...
Oh, Will Ferrell.
Will Ferrell.
Oh, Harry Carey.
Yeah, he wore those. He wore them. I think our friend Will Jordan wore them, too. Oh, yes Ferrell. Will Ferrell. Oh, Harry Carey. Yeah, he wore those.
He wore them.
I think our friend Will Jordan wore them, too.
Oh, yes.
Yes, he did.
Yeah.
John Finley writes, wait a minute.
There's an annual feud involving Richard Kind, Mario, and Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol?
What the hell have I been missing?
Get on the stick, buddy.
This is going back three Christmases.
Jeff Goldblum is getting a head start on Rocking Those Glasses,
Gilbert, and he's only 66,
says Matthew Newman.
Jeff Goldblum's starting to wear the...
I haven't seen one of those.
They're on sale at Costco.
I think everyone's getting them.
Dylan says, Frank and Kirk Hammett,
I thought you might enjoy this. It's from my local
Red Robins restaurant in Canada.
Before you go, I want to know.
I just saw the latest Jurassic Park.
Oh, you saw it?
And I want to know.
Jurassic World.
Yeah.
I want to know how much money Jeff Goldblum made for what probably took half a day at the most.
We'll see if we can get him in here.
Ed Begley was going to help us with Jeff Goldblum, so we'll see if we can get him in here. Ed Begley was going to help us with Jeff Goldblum.
We'll see if we can get him in here.
How was the music? Podcast guest Michael
Giacchino scored that film.
Lost World. I mean Jurassic
World. Well, see, now that you said that,
what am I supposed to do?
Oh, no, it sucked.
Did you notice the music? You know what held
that movie down? The music.
I was waiting for, oh, wow.
Was it stirring?
I'm going to move on to some Facebook questions
because our Facebook people complain that we're always on Twitter.
This will go quick.
This is from Anthony Birdman Pissarro, and he says,
He sent me a picture, Gilbert, of skeleton nags with a cockatoo.
And I think he's had a cockatoo in his life.
Oh, my God.
There is skeleton nags.
You can confirm it.
That's perfect.
And he's holding a cockatoo.
Or skeleton knags, as I pronounce it.
As skeleton knags with a cockatoo.
He says it is either a medium, what does he write?
with a Kanaka-to.
He says it is either a medium... What does he write?
It's either a medium sulfur-crested
cockatoo or a triton cockatoo.
So now this guy's a fucking ornithologist.
Now, we'll probably have our fans
getting angry at each other now.
Yes.
Andrew Wax.
This is all on Facebook.
I whack also.
Yes.
A cockatoo?
Hey, I think Rod Steiger was considered for the Archie Bunker role on All in the Family,
but the network did not find him sweet or likable enough.
Ironically, Carol O'Connor would later play his movie part.
Yeah.
And in the heat of the night.
Please tell me I'm correct and that I'm a genius.
Can we confirm that?
I had never heard.
I know Mickey Rooney.
Mickey Rooney was considered to be Archie Bunker.
I'd never heard of Steiger.
I don't think I.
That would have been bizarre.
Yeah.
It's like a very dark.
Yes.
Here comes Paul with an answer.
Hang on one second.
Yeah, Paul's got that.
Turns out in the Dracula movie.
I think I got it.
Poor Paul.
It'd take him 25 minutes to figure out what all in the family was.
Dirt McCoy.
Frank, when I was a kid, my folks bought me the Universal Monster dolls that were almost like Barbie dolls.
Does this mean anything to you?
I don't remember.
Gilbert is staring quizzically.
They had removable clothes.
Are you guys familiar?
I can't find any images of these online.
So we'll throw this one out to our friends, our fans, and our Facebook.
I used to jerk off to those.
Did you really?
But you don't remember them.
No, I don't remember them.
You'd have a little Evelyn Anchors doll.
Undress it.
I would jerk off the skeleton canags.
Really?
That's disturbing.
I wouldn't admit that in public.
We'll throw that out to our fans.
Do you remember them, Adam, Frank, anything?
I'm sorry.
I'm going to throw up a slider soon.
What were we talking about?
Universal monster dolls that were like.
But I can actually confirm.
I threw up on my Planet of the Apes dolls.
That's TMI.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Jim Yoshi.
Jim Yoshi says, Jesus, Gilbert doing Hervé Villachez, Incentive a Woman, is a revelation.
Yeah.
The first time I heard it, I was in my car in tears.
What is your name? Daphne. I heard it. I was in my car in tears. Hwa! Hwa!
What is your name?
Daphne.
I can tell your name is Daphne because you have a southern accent.
You have a southern accent and you're wearing chameleon number five. That old girl's name Daphne wear.
Hwa! number five. That old girl's name Daphne where... I am gonna...
Fuck Peter Dinklage!
Peter Dinklage
can suck my
dick!
I am gonna work
tirelessly to get Al Pacino in here.
Just so you can do that.
Peter Dinklage can suck my media dick.
Adam, are you glad you came?
Wow.
I'm going to have a stroke.
Let's see what else we have.
Okay, David Pavone winding down.
Oh, he's one of your...
David Pavone
is one of mine.
Let me guess,
Guinea?
He's one of mine.
He's got a vowel
at the end.
Fucking Guinea?
Okay.
I love...
Don't insult our listeners.
I love the Tom Holland
episode.
And I remembered
discussing Hollywood history,
I went to a little-known
academic library.
You'll appreciate this.
The Margaret Herrick Library in L.A. is amazing.
I was researching a book, and they have a reserve section.
You put on white gloves, and you can research anything.
I looked at an original Three Stooges script, and it had Moe's handwritten notes on it.
Wow.
Pretty cool.
That's great.
That's freaky.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now, Gilbert, did you put on white gloves when you admired your dolls with the clothes that come off?
Yeah.
I put on rubber gloves when I did that.
You don't remember these toys.
You don't have any idea.
That one I don't remember.
Does anybody, and I've said this before on the show, does anybody remember these rubber spacemen that were from different planets?
Yes.
From the late 1960s?
I remember also...
It was like a Jupiter and a little man from Mars.
I think they were color forms.
I also remember in the back of comic books,
they would have 101 monsters.
And I think they were really tiny and little details.
Wow, I don't remember.
Were they like pencil erasers or something?
I don't know what they were.
Do you remember these men from space?
There was a Venus character.
He had plastic detachable wings.
I'm younger than you.
Yeah.
But they came out in the late 60s, maybe early 70s.
Oh, I'm not sure about that one.
I forget them.
Not ringing a bell.
We'll throw that one up.
Put Arnie Kogan laughing in there.
Cricket sound effects. We'll throw that one up.
Put Arnie Kogan laughing in there.
I'm sure.
I'm sure when, like tonight, there'll be like on the internet a million photos.
Yeah.
Except that we won't put this one up for a couple of weeks yet.
No.
Well, that's what I'm meaning tonight.
When people are listening.
Tonight.
You see, don't you understand?
What if they're listening in the morning?
Meow.
Meow.
You got a
chimp.
Was that
a chimp take or a
what was that? A costello.
Was that costello or chimp?
Oh, chimp.
Our pal Kevin, we're almost done.
What?
Did you say you saw the candle move?
I saw the candle move.
Hey.
Come on.
We've got to get these crates to McDougal's house of horrors.
Put your hands down.
That's your favorite.
That's my favorite line in that picture.
Put your hands down.
He's going, okay, okay, put your hands down.
I said.
See, and you got to have the okay, okay.
I get it.
And I don't know.
See, that's one of those things why I love Bud Abbott.
It's like, what is funny about okay, okay, put your hands down.
But when you hear it, it's fucking hysterical.
Well, he was great at filling the gaps.
Yes.
With nothing.
Yeah.
With just kind of double talk.
Well, I mean, and the end of untie the boat.
That's hysterical.
When Vincent Price shows up.
Yes.
Oh, I was hoping to get in on the fun.
I'm the invisible man.
Lively. Nicely done. I'm the invisible man. Lively.
Nicely done.
I've lost the power of speech.
Our good pal Kevin Doherty.
I put up a picture of me on Twitter.
It was me, Vincent Price.
Oh, yes, for Halloween.
You, Vincent Price, and Mr. Kinison.
Yeah.
That was three months ago.
That was great.
Yeah, Gilbert came in here saying, I've got this thing on a slide.
I've got a picture on a slide.
How do I get it on Twitter?
I saw Jack Guilford's.
This is from Kevin Doherty, our pal.
I saw Jack Guilford's.
I sent Jack Guilford's son a clip of Peter Bonners
talking about his dad on GGACP, and he was quite pleased.
You guys are doing the Lord's work.
Oh.
Isn't that nice?
Yes.
How about that?
You know what's kind of funny is as we were recording Leonard Maltin,
for those in the future that are hearing this,
this is the same night we recorded that.
He's posting pictures of the shoot he just did with Leonard Maltin yesterday
in California for Vermeer of the Borscht Belt.
Who is?
Oh, Kevin.
That's right.
They were just at his house shooting yesterday.
Yes, that is interesting timing.
Yes, the Drew Friedman documentary.
Charles Santino.
I will close with this, and he's also one of mine.
Ah, damn.
This is funny, Frank.
The first time I heard the podcast and I had no idea who you were
and Gilbert was mispronouncing your name,
I just assumed you were new to him.
who you were, and Gilbert was mispronouncing your name, I just assumed you were new to him.
But after listening to many subsequent episodes, I found out that the two of you go way back,
which is confusing.
But then, of course, I've heard since many examples of Gilbert tripping over his own tongue.
Which is what the dog was doing with jacqueline business adam pointed out today that he feels that our announcer whitney mallon is mispronouncing your name in the end credits
of the main episodes do you feel that way how does she say it oh you haven't actually i usually
don't get that far oh yeah no one does it doesn't matter i turn the show off. You know what? I think she just says it and it's kind of like...
Oh, she says Santo Padre.
No. Yeah, that's what...
No. I think she says it okay.
She chokes the... Santo Padre.
We'll have to have her in here and have a redo
of it. That's when Beto
Lugosi was the... Yeah, not sure.
When he was playing Armand Tesla?
Oh, yes!
Do you have anything to add?
No.
To this raucous, crazy...
I never do.
Does the Hervé Villachez impression hurt your voice or your throat?
See, I should have been in that movie.
You should have been.
Yeah.
I don't think Dinklage looked anything like Hervé Villachez.
Nothing.
Zero.
But there's no way you could make him look like that. Who's gonna play it?
You'd
have to computerize
something. You'd have to give it to Keanu Reeves?
You'd have to use a toddler.
Andy Serkis
probably could have done it. Andy Serkis. He could do anything.
What do you say, Gil?
And they cut out the line
in the movie, because
Peter Dinklage didn't want to say it.
Where Irv A. Village says, fuck Peter Dinklage.
And fuck Tony Cox, too.
Tony Cox.
And fuck Frank Ficarro.
And fuck Michael Doan.
Oh, I see.
And fuck Billy Dunn. Oh, I see. And fuck Billy Barty.
And fuck Max L.
And Felix Silla.
And Johnny Eck.
Yes.
Hey, you know, I reached out to Gino and asked him what he thought of me flying in all those sound effects we keep using.
You know what he said?
Frank's the best.
That's all he had to say about it.
Fantastic. Say goodnight, Gilbert. Sound effects we keep using. You know what he said? Frank's the best. That's all he had to say about it. That's fantastic.
Say goodnight, Gilbert.
Ah, fuck!
That was like a John MacGyver meets...
Fuck every one of the munchkins!
Wait, I want to hear Midget MacGyver.
Bitter Herbie Villachaz is very ugly.
It's an ugly character.
We got to hear Midget MacGyver.
Oh, God.
That would be a tough one.
I want everything according to order.
We will have no slackers around here.
We'll see you next week
