Starting point is 00:04:07 That's it. Man, Frank. The amount of new material he did on stage. So much. People were shocked. Really? Larry Hovis bits? I'm just trying out my Richard Whitmark.
Starting point is 00:04:24 When I saw him at an infamous show at Milwaukee Summerfest, by the way, the last comedy show ever booked, because he drove the people out of there. He closed the place, huh? But he sang the entire theme of the Milton Berle show as Milton Berle. Yeah. It's, oh, oh, wait, wait, that's, uh, there's just one place for me, and that's near you. One place I want to be, and that's near you. He sang the whole song. The whole song.
Starting point is 00:04:57 And he closed down the festival. And this is what he does when I try to hang up on the phone during our phone calls. He becomes Milton Berle. So I say, listen, I've got to go into work. And he says, Jeff, I've upset you in any way. I wouldn't be able to live with myself. What does Henry Winkler say about Gilbert when you run into him? We can't bring that subject up.
Starting point is 00:05:23 What did Paul Williams say when you ran into Paul Williams? Gilbert can be very inappropriate. Gilbert can be very inappropriate sometimes. No, and we said this the first time I was here. Henry Winkler, you know, Gilbert wants me to go down the streets that I don't want to go down. That's my favorite. And I won't go down those streets with Gilbert. All right.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Now, you brought something with us. I can't even talk. Is it a gift? You brought something for us. I love gifts. He loves gifts. He loves gifts with gifts. Okay, speaking of that, I'm sorry to get you off track.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Okay, I'm the one who called to attention, everybody, when he would get a compliment and go, Oh, thank you. Oh, I want the one who called to attention everybody when he would get a compliment and go, oh, thank you. Oh, I want to tell you something. We were just interviewing Chip Kidd, who designed the Jurassic Park poster and a million other things. Well, he designed the logo, yeah. And he was complimenting me at the end of the show, and you were in the other room.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Right. And I kept wanting to say, oh, thank you. But I was getting self-conscious. And then it was kind of like I was coming across really unappreciative. But I wanted to go full joe flynn well here's the latest one that i've noticed and i don't ever want to picture this and it won't leave my head i this is gilbert having sex okay when you guys do one of those quizzes where you ask him a question and then he's like he can't come up with it and then you give the correct answer he goes oh yes oh yes and it's like oh my god that's what he sounds like
Starting point is 00:07:10 during sex i never wanted to picture that but no one's ever been able to prove that or corroborate it because he's always alone he's always alone and then after sex i say say to the girl, Oh, thank you! And by girl, he means a blow-up doll. Yes. Before we get off on too many tangents. Thank you, Mattel. Mattelda. That's his girlfriend, Mattelda.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Do you, I understand you want to set the story straight, set the record straight about Robert Wagner. Yes, Robert Wagner was here and Gilbert brought up the story that I had told him. Yes. And I can tell you. No, no, I had gotten it from him. Okay. He used your name though.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Yes, he did. He used your name. I was shocked. So I go out for drinks with Robert Wagner and Jill St. John. Okay, this is the story. This is the back story. Yes, this is the back story. is the backstory. This is the backstory. And we're sitting there, and I can tell you,
Starting point is 00:08:07 I know what the temperature felt like. I know where we were sitting in the cocktail lounge where we had these drinks. And, you know, when I think of Robert Wagner, I think of the prim and proper gentleman, you know. And then I hear him swearing, and I love it because he's just a real guy. Sure.
Starting point is 00:08:24 So he tells me, he said uh you know one time and jill st john's sitting right there one of my i loved her in batman in the bond movies and he said you know once she uh she broke her her pelvis area and she had a cast up beneath her breasts and he said you know she's got great tits anyway they looked so spectacular so he denies that he told me that story i know he told me that story he acted like totally like no i never met well we have a clip of what he said ah you're in luck i have a clip great now a friend of ours, Gino, told me a story. You told him. I think Jill St. John got into some accident where she had to have a body cast. Like, yeah, she had some kind of body cast, Jill St. John.
Starting point is 00:09:18 And you liked the way she looked. I haven't heard this one. Gilbert, did you dream this? Let me hear the rest. This is a dream Gilbert had, Robert. She was in a body... Wait a minute. She was in a body cast, and I did what?
Starting point is 00:09:34 Okay. According to the story, Gino said... You sure we got the right actor? Yeah. You sure it was Robert Wagner? Here's my favorite part. Who is Gino?
Starting point is 00:09:44 Who is Gino? Who is Gino? A friend of ours. No, you were complimenting the way her breasts looked in his cast. You know, I think Gino is maybe dicking around with us. Okay, that goes on the blooper reel, Robert. What an honor. That to me is What an honor. That, to me, is a great honor.
Starting point is 00:10:09 I sent you a preview of it. Yes. I love it. R.J. Wagner says you a dick in her arm. It doesn't get better than that. No, it doesn't. It doesn't.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Now we gotta have him back. We gotta make this an ongoing thing. It was a horseback running action and I'll even tell you that. Okay. Yes.
Starting point is 00:10:23 Okay, next time we're gonna have R.J. and Jill Next time we're going to have RJ and Jill. And we're going to get to the bottom of this. Now I understand moving right along. You may have a Larry Linville story. Yes. Do you remember Larry Linville Major Burns?
Starting point is 00:10:38 So I booked him near the end of his life. Give our listeners a little context. You used to book celebrity autograph shows. Yes. But this was not an autograph show. It was a Catholic breakfast and fundraiser. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:51 I go to a lot of those. Yeah, if they were offended, boy, I can imagine what you would do. So they have Father Mulcahy and Pedro Burns. William Christopher and Larry Linville. So it's a priest who's hosting the breakfast. He brings up William Christopher, Father Mulcahy, and he gives him a gift. And William Christopher opens it and goes, oh, thank you. It's such a pleasure being here.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Beautiful. Now up comes Larry Linville. He hands him a box. He opens the box, and it's got golf towels in it. And the priest said to Larry Linville, do you golf? you golf he said no but i'll use them to dry my balls to complete silence there were nuns and priests that filled this breakfast i love larry linville i, there's a guy who committed. Wow.
Starting point is 00:11:52 I'll use them to drive my balls. Are you saving those for the end of the show? Oh, sure. Oh, no, we can do it right now. Okay. Oh, a gift. All right, this was for the studio. This is a picture. We're in an audio medium, so Gilbert's going to describe what this is.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Okay. Here, let me put on my glasses. Wow, your vision's good. If you can't even see an 8x10 and know who it is. Oh, it's Forrest Tucker. That's right. So I just got to see what it says. I don't even know what it says.
Starting point is 00:12:18 I know it was autographed by him, but I thought that should hang in the studio. I'm going to take that home with me. Okay, you can take it home with you. Somebody here will steal it. Yes. You can take that home with me. Okay, you can take it home with you. Somebody here will steal it. Yes. You can take it home with you. And Gilbert won't appreciate it. For the other part of the dynamic duo.
Starting point is 00:12:30 There you go, Gil. It's a lobby card. Milton Berle and Virginia Mayo always leave him laughing. With Burt Lahr. You know what's interesting? If anyone says Gilbert's not a good actor, he's feigning interest and delight with this. Of course. You know what's going to happen, Frank.
Starting point is 00:12:47 It goes in the bottom of the closet. Right in the closet. So this is a double whammy of Uncle Miltie and Forrest Tucker. I thought it had to be done. You put some thought into this. I did. I'm taking them both. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:02 I'm moving right along. Yes. The Gino Greatest Hits. Okay. I'm moving right along. Yes. The Geno greatest hits. You told me on the phone that you had a Gilligan's Island booking. You did a Gilligan's Island event. Right. That was one of your most successful. Yes.
Starting point is 00:13:15 Over 10,000 people showed up to meet Bob Denver and Alan Hale Jr. That is pretty cool. It was great. And as you've explained on previous shows, you and Alan were very close. Yes. And Bob. And you were close to Bob Denver. what is the saddest booking story and do you need music for this hit the music frankie this is this is a tv show that i don't even know if gilbert would
Starting point is 00:13:35 have watched this show but i know a lot of us did it's the beloved green acres oh yeah all right so i get a call from we'll get a little backdrop yes I get a call from... We'll get a little backdrop on this. Yes. I get a call from a hotel. They want to do Nostalgia Night at their lounge on the top of the hotel. So they ask me to book Alvy Moore, who was County Agent Hank Kimball.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Hank Kimball. Or County Kimball Hank Agent, as he would say sometimes. And Tom Lester, who was Eb. Do you remember Eb, the hired hand? Jake, Mr. Douglas. Oh, okay. I already want to kill myself. Gilbert, honestly, we were high up.
Starting point is 00:14:12 I did want to open the window and jump out myself because the guy gets on the microphone. First of all, there's about eight people there. And I'm not exaggerating. Eight people. Oh! Ladies and gentlemen, here they are from hooterville it's tom lester and albie moore the music plays oh and this is all i hear in the background
Starting point is 00:14:34 one person applauding oh it was so painful and you know honestly i think that was one of the last bookings I did because I couldn't go back. How many people? Eight. I'm not kidding. In a place that held probably 300. And they were probably just there to get out of the rain or something. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Only one person was applauding, so I'm assuming. Did you stay in touch with Albie Moore? Oh, yes. No, really good guy. Nice guy? Yes. good guy. You knew all these people. You knew Bob Denver. You knew Tina Louise.
Starting point is 00:15:10 No, Tina I did not know. You didn't book Tina. No, because remember, Tina was not up for making money. I misspoke, but you were friends with Dawn and Russell Johnson and Alan Hale and Grandpa Lewis and Butch Patrick who we've talked about on our previous show. You want to tell the Al Lewis getting in the airport again real quickly for our friend John Fodiatis?
Starting point is 00:15:33 I didn't know this happened, but Bob Denver called me and said, Bob and Al Lewis booked at the same place. Wow. He said, you're not going to believe what Al did at the airport. I said, what happened? He said, about 400 people show up at the gate. We walk off. They're staring at us. They start applauding. And there's a silence and Al goes, where are the
Starting point is 00:15:51 star fuckers? For the stogie. Yes. That one's for you, John. Okay. Is there a Red Fox story? No.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Now you're turning into Robin Wagner. I don't know whoever told you that, Frank, but they're dicking you around. They're dicking you around. Is there a... Before I go on, why don't you tell us how resentful you are that Gilbert gets gifts from fans.
Starting point is 00:16:28 It is so sickening to me, and this is spread. Every week I'm listening and I hear, oh, we have some gifts for you. Now, it happened again tonight. Frank, who put in 27 hours on one guest, gets a calendar, and Gilbert gets this huge box with an action figure that will never see the light of day. No, no, no. If anything he'll use it as a booster seat. He'll use it as he said to take my Milton Berle lobby card and throw it in the back of the closet. Now it gets worse okay I'm sickened by this all the time and he is not good to
Starting point is 00:17:03 me. Everyone thinks he's such a nice guy now who thinks that a couple years ago a friend of mine died and shockingly for the first time ever gilbert on the phone call is was actually really nice and caring uh the next day he started my friend's name was John, and he would call me a senor Wences. Yeah, yeah. Hey, hello, John. John, are you dead? I am dead. Do you want me to put you in the coffin?
Starting point is 00:17:36 Put me in the coffin. Should I close the lid on the coffin? Close the lid on the coffin. Is the coffin on the coffin. Close the lid on the coffin. Is the coffin closed? What would make you say he's not a nice guy? Funny once, right? Funny once. Very funny.
Starting point is 00:17:59 Might be funny four or five times. The 10,000th time? Yeah. The 10,000th? Yes. And then, one of the last times I was in New York, I took him out for dinner. And we had a waitress.
Starting point is 00:18:10 And I'm going to make this, I'm sorry it's politically incorrect, but it's the facts. This is what happened. It's okay. It was an Asian waitress. No one's listening. Right. Well, she was listening because she was listening to our conversation. Okay. Yeah. And it should have been played by Mickey Rooney.
Starting point is 00:18:27 So Gilbert, do you want to say what happened when she was eavesdropping? Yeah, yeah, we were sitting there and the waitress comes over, we're talking and she says to Gino,
Starting point is 00:18:42 don't be so mean to him. Why don't be so mean to him. Why you gotta be so mean? Were you being mean to him? I guess I was. In her mind, she heard that. And then she kept giving me dirty looks when she'd come to the table because I'm mean to Gilbert. Now I'm going to say something politically incorrect.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Possibly he was in mid-squint and she thought he was a countryman. She's clearly not on Twitter. She's not. She thought maybe. Well, you know why you're right about that? It was someone she served a cocktail to in Okinawa. Because years ago, now I'm going to go against my own people. I took him to anian restaurant in little italy and the owner sees gilbert and he keeps looking at him and he
Starting point is 00:19:31 calls me over and he said to me in italian he said is that that chinese guy Hilarious. I had some woman at a restaurant say, I know who you are. You're Mr. Moriaki. You're kidding. Who's Mr. Moriaki? No, Karate Kid is what she is. Pat Morita. Miyagi.
Starting point is 00:20:01 Miyagi. Mr. Miyagi. She thought you were Pat Morita? Yes, yes. Because she saw him using his hands, doing wax on and wax off. Oh, Jesus. All right. Moving right along.
Starting point is 00:20:13 I'm glad your hatred for him is as strong as it is in previous episodes. I love this guy. I know you do. He's one of my closest friends, but I also hate him. It's a loving hate. It's a loving hate. It is a loving hate. Who else would drive three flipping hours in a day to go have lunch with us? To Appleton, Wisconsin.
Starting point is 00:20:33 To Appleton, Wisconsin. That's friendship. Yep. Is there a... I feel myself. We will return to Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast after this.

All new episodes of FX's The Bear are streaming June 27, only on Disney+. Should we get back to the Red Fox story? Well, you and I were on the phone talking about the Red Fox Gary Shandling story. Which I had heard Billy Crystal tell as if it happened to him. Right, but Gary Shandling told me personally that that happened to him.
Starting point is 00:21:59 Do you know the story? Yeah, because Gary Shandling told me. Yeah, because Gary Shandling told me. He said, you know, you know, I was going to tell you about Red Fox. Everybody knows this story. We've told it before.
Starting point is 00:22:17 But it's about Red Fox at Vegas. It comes on stage and there's seven people in the house. If you don't know it, we'll tell it on a future show. Is there a Maury Amsterdam story? Have you prepared that one? Yes. Okay, great.
Starting point is 00:22:30 He was the sweetest guy. Every time I was in L.A., I would call him, and he'd say, Come on over for a cup of coffee, and he would tell me stories all night. So I found out that Sid Melton used to be so annoyed when people would confuse him for Maury Amsterdam and Gilbert was on Conan O'Brien and he did this joke just for me because nobody else would have got it.
Starting point is 00:22:53 He's talking about Maury Amsterdam and he goes come on, you know him from Make Room for Daddy. And he was using Sid's credits. Fantastic. Love it. Just for you. He's was using since credits. Fantastic. Love it. Just for you.
Starting point is 00:23:07 He's on the Conan O'Brien show and playing to an audience of one. You have to admire that. That's big for me. But then he would never tell me when he was going to be on a show.
Starting point is 00:23:18 He'd tell me after. So by chance, I happened to see that one. What's the Maury story? The Maury story? The Maury Amsterdam story? That is the Maury Amsterdam story? No, that he. What's the Maury story? The Maury story? The Maury Amsterdam story. That is the Maury Amsterdam story? No, that he used the confusion between Maury and Sid.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Yes. I got you. Yes. I got you. You want to tell the Sid Melton story again quick? Well, we would call Sid, and Sid would sound like he was near death, like a near death Elmer Fudd. Yes.
Starting point is 00:23:41 He would answer the phone. Oh. Hey, Sid, it's Gino and Gilbert. Oh, hi, guys. He'd spring to life. Yes. Okay. And he lived.
Starting point is 00:23:59 This gets worse, by the way. Every time he tells it, it becomes more of a small house, like he was living in Squalor. It can't be sadder than Chubbsy Ubsy with a peace stain. It wasn't. It was Joe Cobb. Oh, Joe Cobb. Remember, we caught a lot of controversy. Not Chubbsy Ubsy.
Starting point is 00:24:15 All it needs now is music by Hans-Jay Solter from the Universal Horror Films. He lived like two blocks from an in-and-out burger and and it was right by the airport you could like walk into the airport from his house if you climbed out the window you'd be at the airport so you'd hear play you know the house would rumble. There was no step up. It was like the door opened right to the ground. That's right. You were in the living room as soon as you opened the door. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:54 So the minute it rained, his living room would come flying. And then again, Gilbert, the investigative reporter, we did not know he was, on the phone. Okay, I'm you. You're Sid. Are you ready? Okay. Sid, I want to ask you a story about Danny Thomas. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:16 He didn't even get Danny Thomas out. And Sid said, oh, it's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. Great. Classic. Classic. Do you want to do the M true. It's true. Great. Classic. Classic.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Do you want to do the munchkin story? Yes. Okay. And then we'll move on to Mr. T. Okay. Now, this starts as a very, very tragic story. Carl Slover, who's one of the munchkins, was sold by his family to one of these troops of little people. Oh!
Starting point is 00:25:42 I know. More heartbreak. And he is the sweetest guy, and here he was when I had him on the radio singing the Wizard of Oz theme. And if you could step up to that mic, Carl, we'd love to hear it for our listeners. We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Starting point is 00:25:59 You'll find he is a wizard of a wiz. If ever a wiz there was, if ever a wiz there was, if ever a wizard there was, the wizard of wiz is one because, because, because, because, because, because, because of the wonderful things she does.
Starting point is 00:26:16 We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of wiz. How adorable is that? That is beautiful. How old was the man at that point? It is 80s. That's beautiful. So I was with Carl at the Hollywood Autograph Show and all of a sudden
Starting point is 00:26:31 someone walked up and it's I've heard he's in the adult film industry. I mean, I wouldn't know personally. Of course. His name is Ron Jami Jeremy something. Anyway anyway he wanted his picture with carl slover hang on the hedgehog wanted his picture with a munchkin yes okay and i have this
Starting point is 00:26:54 picture at home somewhere and i'll try to get it we can put it up on the listener society let's it's a group of my friends ron jeremy and the littleunchkin, the sweet little munchkin who you just heard singing. Who was sullied posing with Ron Jeremy. And this is fact. I'm not being mean because I made money for these people. I love the munchkins.
Starting point is 00:27:17 But Carl, the only thing that kept growing on him was his ears. Yeah, you sent me a picture. Yes, so he was tiny, but his ears were almost the size of his head. But a sweeter guy, there couldn't be. And you said, I don't know if it was the mayor of the Munchkins
Starting point is 00:27:32 or whatever, that you visited one and he was complaining about how constipated. No, it's always Jerry Maron. Jerry Maron, the lollipop kid, he called me from Pittsburgh. He'd been there for three days, and I said, how's it going? He said, I can't crap.
Starting point is 00:27:49 But did he say it in a cute munchkin voice? No, like that. Because when you haven't gone to the bathroom for three days, that's how you talk. I can't crap. By the way, in preparation for this, I listened to the last two episodes you did, and you opened a story by saying, so I booked the Munchkins into Pittsburgh. And Gilbert said, you're the only person alive that could make that decision. No, that's not what he said.
Starting point is 00:28:11 You're being nice again. What did he say? He said, I would kill myself if I were you. If I had to say that, that's my extended show business. I would kill myself. Okay. Moving along. A Mr. T anecdote.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Mr. T. Now, I get asked by a friend to cover some publicity dates with Mr. T. And so we go to North Carolina, and I'm carrying the gold in a gym bag. He has gold chains, a gold knife, a gold fork, a spoon, and a plate. Okay. That he would wear around his neck, but, you know, he couldn't wear it all the time, so I would carry this. They gave me $200 a day, take him wherever he wants to eat, every day, and he insisted I call him T. I said, T, where do you want to go?
Starting point is 00:28:58 KFC. We went to KFC in a limo every day, and I would pick up the order and bring it back we get back and it's north carolina in the summertime it's about and i'm not exaggerating that it's over 100 degrees okay and humid okay i said what do you want to do he goes let's go in a hot tub i want to go in a hot tub so the only moment of in my life that a photo I wish I had, there I am sitting in a hot tub with Mr. T. With a bucket of chicken? That's in the limo.
Starting point is 00:29:32 And the limo had to have a moonroof sunroof on top because he hated air conditioning. And then a week after it happened, I get home. There's a big box arrives. And I think I mentioned this before, but there's a black satin jacket with his head on the back. It says Mr. T's T-Force and my name, Gino. Wow. Yes, in person.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Oh, man. What a guy. I know. What a guy, Mr. T. I love Mr. T. Wow. He would always, no matter what I'd say, dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it. He just keeps saying that over and over. Like the sugar smacks frog. Did Henry Winkler?
Starting point is 00:30:14 I don't know if they ever worked together, Gilbert. That's a good question. Did you sit on his lap like Nancy Reagan? That's right. Okay. That song of Mr. T's for Mother's Day. We just had Mother's Day recently. Let's hear it. Frank, do you have Mr. T?
Starting point is 00:30:25 Twelve, you couldn't be more than five. You're so fat they have to jack you up to take off your shoes. Yeah, well, you're so skinny your eyes are in single file. Well, you're so ugly your ears stick out to get away from your face. Well, your mama is so... Hold it. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Don't bring anyone mothering to this. She ain't here. If it wasn't is so... Hold it. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Don't bring anyone mother into this. She ain't here. If it wasn't for your mother, you wouldn't be here. So, remember when you put down one mother, you're putting down mothers all over the world. Wait till you hear these lyrics. Perfect timing. Listen. Treat her right, treat your mother right Mother, there is no other like mother
Starting point is 00:31:20 So treat her right, mother I'm a slumber, I'm mother So treat her right What else rhymes with mother? I saved my brother There is no mother So treat her right Treat her right Empty for the moan And the miserable groan From the pain that she felt
Starting point is 00:31:35 When I was alone Always for the oven With the burning heat Where she stood making sure I had something to eat Tears for the time Did you sing this in the hot tub? Burning heat. Where she stood making sure I had something to eat. T is for the time. Did you sing this in the hot tub?
Starting point is 00:31:50 What a shame. What a letdown. H is for the hard earned money she spent. I think we got the idea. What gets me. Mr. T's Mother's Day song. When he gets to letter T, his face already says, oh, fuck. I got to go all the way through this. And I'm only up to T.
Starting point is 00:32:06 Dig it. Dig it. Dig it. So you liked him. I still do. Take it up with Belzer. Love Mr. T. Mother, I'm a fan of Sally Strother.
Starting point is 00:32:28 You know, somebody wrote that and probably has a gold record on their wall. I know. Hilarious. All right, we're going to close with a Sylvester Stallone story. Okay, now of all the stereo, excuse me. Oh, wait, wait. You got to tell a story about the PR guy. Huh? The PR guy. Oh, not the PR guy. Huh? The PR guy.
Starting point is 00:32:45 Oh, not the PR guy. Oh, why must you do this to me? Yes. The PR woman. Well, because I know it hurts you and makes you uncomfortable. I'm glad this is on the record of how you treat me.
Starting point is 00:32:56 I go to interview Keanu Reeves for John Wick 3. His publicist happens to be the publicist of Sandra Bullock. Oh. And she's very nice when she sees me. Hi, Gino. Hi.
Starting point is 00:33:08 I have a big smile on my face. She said, how's Gilbert? And he's fine. I think I know where this is about to go. She said, you know, Sandy just loves Gilbert. And I must have made a wince on my face because she said, why did you make that face? I said, because that hurts me like you'll never understand. That's still stuck in your craw.
Starting point is 00:33:30 It's still, this is, you know, it shows how stupid I am. Someone else would not share that story with him. I share it with him and then he shoves it right up my culo with every chance he gets. You feed the monster. I know. You should have learned by now. I know. Let's do the Sly Stallone story because I know how Gilbert's going to take us out.
Starting point is 00:33:50 I know what Clippy's going to call for at the very end. Alright, now Gilbert, do you know you tell the Danny Thomas story, you tell the Cesar Romero story. We don't know if these stories are true. This allegedly... I think we know if they're true. Oh yeah. It's true.
Starting point is 00:34:05 This allegedly happened. You can yeah. It's true. All true. This allegedly happened. And you can find it on the internet. Sylvester Stallone making a movie. Apparently, the mic is still on him or in the trailer when he's having sex with an extra. And he keeps saying over and over again, cradle of balls. Cradle of balls. Stroke the shaft.
Starting point is 00:34:28 Now, apparently, all the sound guys were listening i was told allegedly that there were t-shirts made that said cradle of balls and i was shocked that that story had not been told on this podcast which tells these kind of stories all the time gilbert you're falling down on the job. How have you not told this story? I heard also, when I heard this story, I heard they would say like, okay, we're going to do scene one, scene one. And okay, let's have, like the other people on the set would all start saying that and say,
Starting point is 00:35:02 okay, everyone in your spots, in your spots. They'd say cradle the balls. Do it again, Gino. Cradle the balls. That's beautiful. Stroke the chef. We had Erwin Winkler here who made the Rocky movies. We never mentioned it.
Starting point is 00:35:18 Not once. In fact, one time they had a tape. Oh, no. Henry Winkler. All right. We're not going down that street. Don't go down that road. Cradle the ball straight. See what happens now
Starting point is 00:35:36 We'll never get Henry back. I was going to say for all the celebrities out there who are thinking of guesting on this show, you know, you're fine up until you guest and once he's used you, then you're done. That's my life story. In fact, we have a tape
Starting point is 00:35:50 of Paul Williams saying, Crackle the bolts. Crackle the bolts. Wouldn't he say testicles because there are more syllables? Crackle the testicles. Tic-tac-tickles, because there are more syllables. Crack-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick. While wearing the Planet of the Apes makeup.
Starting point is 00:36:10 Yes! All right, Gilbert. If Frank was paying any attention, because Gino's here, he would know what clip he would have at the ready. No, no. Crack-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick. That's here, he would know what clip he would have at the ready. No, no. Cradle my balls. That's good, too. He takes on a whole new meaning.
Starting point is 00:36:29 He really does. And that slow motion shot at the end. Cradle the balls. You know the words. Cradle the balls. Cradle the balls. Hilarious. Don't forget the shafts.
Starting point is 00:36:42 Erwin Wiggler never brought it up. What was he going to end with? I don't know where you're going on this. Well, the piece of tape that he always calls for when Chino's here. Come on, come on, the Sandra Bullock tape. I think we should leave Rocky going. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:36:54 We made it almost through the whole show without hearing that. I'm sorry I brought it up. We could have rapped. He wouldn't have known. Well, I wanted to be nice. That'll be the day. Oh, he mixed them. No, play it by itself.
Starting point is 00:37:20 She said she'll cradle the ball. Frank, Frank, I want one clear one of her saying, I'm so turned on, I will fuck you. We have to have that. This is Sandra Bullock saying, okay, ready? I'm so turned on right now. I am so turned on right now. Oh, my God. You are brilliant.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Come here. I will fuck you. Yeah. Sandra Bullock talking to me in case you didn't know, Gino. Gino, if it makes you feel better, we have a similar recording of Jim J. Bullock saying it about you. Jim J. Bullock. And Gilbert's response, as I said earlier Oh yes Oh yes
