Starting point is 00:00:00 Hi I'm Gilbert Godfrey and I'm here with Frank Santopadre and our engineer Frank Fertorosa and this is Gilbert and Frank's amazing colossal obsessions and we don't have a guest. Wait a minute! Hey, how about drinking some water get that phlegm out of your throat too. You sound like you're underwater. The Sixth Mars Brother. Flemmy. Flemmo. Who is here, Gilbert? Is there a guest? Wait, do you have the name written down somewhere? Why, it's entertainer- I can't even speak. Entertainment reporter to the stars, Gino Salomon. Hi everybody. Hi Gene. Rex Reed cancelled at the last minute. Gino you're back for round number three. I saw Gene Shallot in the elevator. He just he couldn't make it all the way up. But he told you a couple of puns. He did. He's saying go see Sea of Love, you'll see it and love it. See? Stolen, by the way, from Saturday Night Live.
Starting point is 00:01:29 Entertainment reporter Gino Salomon, uncompensated Gilbert Gottfried podcast talent booker, Gino Salomon. And how about this? He's in the thriving metropolis of Appleton, Wisconsin. I drive all the way there, an hour and a half each way to take him to lunch. Why? I wondered the same thing as I drove home. I'm like, why did I do that? And there was only one place in Appleton, Wisconsin, open at lunch hour. Wow.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Wow. With the biggest eggplant parmesan I'd ever seen in my life. Yes. Honestly it was a tray, it was so big. Let me ask you a question that I don't know the answer to. Who paid? Gee, that's a tough one. Oh, that's a tough one. Ah, boy, boy. You couldn't afford it. You still do Chico, Marx, and Psycho? You still have that in the act? Oh, yes. Oh, wait, wait a second. He doesn't know his own bits. We know his bits better.
Starting point is 00:02:34 There was Chico and 12 Angry Men. Oh, sure, he's plenty guilty. And you don't remember Chico and Psycho? There was Chico's Hamlet. Hey, you're not my father. That's it. Chico and 12 angry men. Hey, it's getting late.
Starting point is 00:03:00 And oh wait, Chico and Psycho. I think that was, oh sure, we got plenty of rooms. That's it. Man, Frank, the amount of new material he did on stage. People were shocked. Really? Larry Hovis bits? I'm just trying out my Richard Wittmark.
Starting point is 00:03:24 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. But he sang the entire theme of the Milton Berle show as Milton Berle. Wait, that's a, there's just one place for me. And that's near you. One place I wanna be. And that's near you. He sang the whole song. The whole song.
Starting point is 00:03:57 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, G-F, I've said to 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?
Starting point is 00:04:20 We can't bring that subject up. Okay, what did Paul Williams say when you ran into Paul Williams? Gilbert can be very inappropriate. Gilbert can be very inappropriate. 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. It's my favorite. And I won't go down those streets with Gilbert.
Starting point is 00:04:45 All right. 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 guests with gifts.
Starting point is 00:04:56 OK, speaking of that, which I'm sorry to get you off track. OK, I'm the one who called to attention, everybody, when he would go get a compliment and go, oh, thank you. Oh, I want to tell you something. We were just interviewing Chip Kidd and who designed the Jurassic Park poster and a million other things. Well, you designed the logo, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:20 And he was complimenting me at the end of the show and you were in the other room And and I kept I kept wanting to say oh Thank you I was getting self-conscious And then it was kind of like I was coming across really unappreciated But I wanted 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. This is Gilbert having sex, okay? When you guys do one of those quizzes
Starting point is 00:06:00 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 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 And then after sex I 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.
Starting point is 00:06:38 That's his girlfriend, Mattelda. 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. He used your name though. Yes he did. I was shocked. So I go out to, for drinks with Robert Wagner and Jill St. John. Okay, this is the story, this is the backstory. This is the backstory, and we're sitting there and I can tell you, 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.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Sure. So, he tells me, he said, 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 broke her pelvis area and she had a cast up beneath her breast 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've never met Jill St. John. 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
Starting point is 00:08:09 where she had to have a body cast. Like, yeah, she had some kind of body cast, Jill St. John, 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 you dream this? Let me hear the rest. This is a dream Gilbert had, Robert. She was in a body...wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:08:30 She was in a body cast. And I did what? Okay, according to the story, Geno says... You sure we got the right actor? Sure it was Robert White? Who is Geno? A friend of ours.
Starting point is 00:08:46 No, you were complimenting the way her breasts looked in his cast. You know, I think Geno is maybe dicking around with us. That goes on the blooper reel, Robert. What an honor! That to me is a great honor. I sent you a preview of it. R.J. Wagner says you a dick in a rum. It doesn't get better than that. No it doesn't. Now we gotta have him back. We gotta make this an ongoing thing. It was a horseback riding action and I'll even tell you that. Next time we're going to have R.J. and Jill, and we're going to get to the bottom of this.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Now I understand moving right along, you may have a Larry Linville story. Yes, you remember Larry Linville, Major Burns? 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. 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
Starting point is 00:10:00 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. 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?
Starting point is 00:10:26 He said, no, but I'll use them to drive my balls to complete silence. There were nuns and priests that filled us breakfast. I love Larry Linville now. I know too. I mean, there's a guy who committed, you know? Wow! I'll use them to dry my balls. Are you saving those for the end of the show? Oh, sure.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Oh, no, we can do it right now. Okay. Oh, a gift! All right, this was for the studio. Oh, this is a picture. We're in an audio medium, so Gilbert's going to describe what this is. Okay. Here, let me put on my glasses Wow, your vision's good if you can't even see an eight by ten and know who it is
Starting point is 00:11:11 Oh, it's it's Forrest Tucker. Correct. So I bought just gotta see what it says I don't even know what it says. I know it was autographed by him, but I thought that should hang in the studio. Perfect I'm gonna take that home with me. Okay, you can take it home with you. If 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. There you go, Gil. It's a lobby card.
Starting point is 00:11:33 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. Yeah, it goes in the bottom of the closet. Right in the closet.
Starting point is 00:11:52 So this is a double whammy of Uncle Milti and Forrest Tucker. I thought it had to be done. You put some thought into this. I did. I'm taking them both. Okay, I'm moving right along. Yes. The Gino Greatest Hits.
Starting point is 00:12:06 You told me on the phone that you had a Gilligan's Island booking. You did a Gilligan's Island event that was one of your most successful. Yes. 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.
Starting point is 00:12:24 And Bob. And you were close to 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 a TV show that I don't even know if Gilbert would have watched this show, but I know a lot of us did. It's the beloved Green Acres.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Oh yeah. All right. So I get a call from... We'll get a little backdrop on, so I get a call from we'll get a little backdrop Yes, I get a call from a hotel They want to do nostalgia night at their lounge on the top of the the hotel So they asked me to book Alvy Moore who was County Agent Hank Kimball and can't Kimball or County Kimball Hank Yes, as you would say sometimes and Tom Lester who was ebb. Do you remember ever the hired hand? Okay, I already want to kill myself say sometimes. And Tom Lester who was Eb, do you remember Eb the hired hand? Gee, Mr. Duff!
Starting point is 00:13:07 I already want to kill myself. Gilbert, honestly, we were high up. 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. Ladies and gentlemen, here they are from Hooterville It's Tom Lester and Albie Moore The music plays and this is all I hear in the background One person applauding. It was so painful And you know, honestly, I think that was one of the last bookings I did
Starting point is 00:13:45 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. Only one person was applauding so I'm assuming. Did you stay in touch with Al B'Mor? Oh yes. no, really good guy. Nice guy? Yes. Nice guy. You knew all these people. You knew Bob Denver, you knew Tina Louise.
Starting point is 00:14:09 No, Tina I did not know. You didn't book Tina. No, because remember, Tina. Oh, Russell Johnson and Tina. Tina was not up for making money. I misspoke, but you were friends with Dawn. Right, still friends with Dawn. And Russell Johnson, and Alan Hale, and Grandpa Lewis and Butch Patrick, who we've talked
Starting point is 00:14:24 about on our previous show. You want to tell the Al Lewis getting in the airport again real quickly for our friend John Fodiatis? 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?
Starting point is 00:14:42 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 star fuckers? That one's for you, John. Okay. Is there a Red Fox story? No. 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? 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.
Starting point is 00:15:34 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. Yeah, that's right. No, 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 me. Everyone thinks he's such a nice guy. Now, a couple years
Starting point is 00:16:07 ago a friend of mine died and shockingly for the first time ever Gilbert on the phone call was actually really nice and caring. The next day he started, my friend's name was John and he would call me as Signor Wences. Yeah, yeah. Hello John. John, are you dead? I'm dead! Do you want me to put you in the coffin? Put me in the coffin!
Starting point is 00:16:38 Should I close the lid on the coffin? Close the lid on the coffin! Is the coffin closed? Close the lid on the coffin? Closed the lid on the coffin! Is the coffin closed? No, no, no, no! No! What would make you say he's not a nice guy? Funny once, right? Boy, by that 10,000th time!
Starting point is 00:16:59 Yeah, the 10,000th! And then, one of the last times I was in New York, I took him out for dinner. And we had a waitress. 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. And it should have been played by Mickey Rooney. So Gilbert do you want to say what happened when she was eavesdropping? Yeah yeah we were we were sitting there and and and the waitress comes over we're talking and she says She says to Gino Don't be so mean to him Why you gotta be so mean? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Now I'm going to say something politically incorrect. Possibly he was in mid-squint and she thought he was a countryman.
Starting point is 00:18:10 She's clearly not on Twitter. She's not. She thought maybe. Well you know why you're right about that? He 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 an Italian restaurant in Little Italy and the owner sees Gilbert and he keeps looking at him and he calls me over and he said to me in Italian, he said, is that that
Starting point is 00:18:34 Chinese guy? I had some woman at a restaurant say, I know who you are, you're Mr. Moriaki. Who's Mr. Moriaki? No, Karate Kid is what she was called. Pat Morita. Miyagi. Mr. Miyagi. She thought you were Pat Morita? Yes, yes. Miyagi Miyagi Miyagi. She thought you were Pat Maria. Yes. Yes
Starting point is 00:19:08 She saw him using his hands doing wax on and wax off All right moving right along I'm glad your hatred for him is as strong as it is in previous episodes. I love this guy He's one of my closest friends, but I also hate him It's a loving hate it is is a loving hate. Who else would drive three flipping hours in a day to go have lunch with us? To Appleton, Wisconsin. That's friendship. Is there a... We will return to Gilbert Gottfried's amazing colossal podcast after this. Well, 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.
Starting point is 00:19:54 Which I had heard Billy Crystal tell as if it happened to him. But Gary Shandling told me personally that that happened to him. Do you know the story? Yeah, because Gary Shenneling told me. He said, you know, Geller, I was going to tell you about Red Fox. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:14 Yeah. Yeah. Everybody knows this story. We've told it before. All right, onward. Yeah. But it's about Red Fox. Oh, I know this one.
Starting point is 00:20:22 At Vegas, it comes on stage. Yes, yes. 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 00:20:33 It was all, he was the sweetest guy. Every time I was in LA 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. He's talking about Maury Amsterdam and he goes, come on, you know him from Make Room for Daddy, and he was using 6Sins credits. Fantastic.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Love it. Just for you, 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. He'd tell me after.
Starting point is 00:21:21 So by chance, I happen to see that one. What's the Morrie story? The Morrie story? The Morrie Amsterdam story. That is the Morrie Amsterdam story? No, that he used the confusion between Morrie and Sid. I gotcha. You want to tell the Sid Melton story again, quick?
Starting point is 00:21:37 We would call Sid and Sid would sound like he was near death, like a near death Elmer Fudd because he would answer the phone. Yeah. Oh. Hey Sid, it's Gino and Gilbert. Oh, hi guys. He'd spring to life. Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:58 And he lived in... 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 Chubsy Ubsy with a pea stain. It wasn't! It was Joe Cobb. Remember we caught a lot of controversy. All it needs now is music by Hans Chase Solter from the Universal Horror Films. He lived like two blocks from an In-N-Out Burger.
Starting point is 00:22:31 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, you know know the house would rumble there was no like 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 open the door yeah so the minute there was if it rained his his living room and then again Gilbert's the the investigative reporter We did not know he was on the phone. Okay. I'm you you're Sid. Are you ready? Okay?
Starting point is 00:23:13 Sid I want to ask you a story about Danny Thomas Okay, he didn't even get Danny Thomas out and Sid said It's true, it's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. Great. Classic. Classic. Do you want to do the Munchkin story?
Starting point is 00:23:30 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! I know, I know.
Starting point is 00:23:46 More heartbreak. Oh, fuck! 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 stand 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. Your Fante is a Wizard of Oz. If ever a Wizard was, if ever, ever a Wizard was, the Wizard of Oz is a Wizard of Oz your Fante is a Wizard of a whiz if ever a whiz there was
Starting point is 00:24:05 if ever ever a whiz there was the Wizard of Oz is one because because because because because because Because of the wonderful things she does We're off to see the wizard the wonderful Wizard of Oz see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of us. Yeah! Very nice! How adorable is that? That is beautiful.
Starting point is 00:24:27 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 someone walked up and it's, I've heard he's in the adult film industry. I mean, I wouldn't know personally. His name is Ron Jomme? Jeremy?
Starting point is 00:24:47 Something. Anyway, he wanted his picture with Carl Slover. Hang on. The hedgehog wanted his picture with a munchkin. Yes. And I have this picture at home somewhere and I'll try to get it. We can put it up on the listener's society. It's a group of my friends, Ron Jeremy and the little munchkin, the sweet little
Starting point is 00:25:07 munchkin who just heard singing. Who was sullied by posing with Ron Jeremy. And this is fact, I'm not being mean because I made money for these people, I love the munchkins, 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 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.
Starting point is 00:25:31 And you said, I don't know if it was the mayor of the Munchkins 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 No, it's 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. 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. 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,
Starting point is 00:26:09 you're the only person alive. Because they could make that situation. No, that's not what he said. 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 extent in show business. I would kill myself.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Okay, moving along, A Mr. T anecdote. 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, spoon, and a plate. Okay. a gold knife, a gold fork, spoon, and a plate 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? 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
Starting point is 00:27:11 that it's over 100 degrees and humid. I said, what do you want to do? He goes, let's go in the hot tub. It's really hot. I want to go in the hot tub. So the only moment 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. And the limo had to have a moon roof sun roof 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 set and jacket with his head on the back. It says mr. T's t-force and my name Gino Wow
Starting point is 00:27:56 What a guy I know what a guy I love mr. T Wow And he would always no matter what I say I take it dig Dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it. He just keeps saying that over and over. Like the sugar smacks frog. Yes. Did Henry Winkler... 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, that song of Mr. T. is for Mother's Day. We just had Mother's Day recently. Let's hear it. Frank, do you have Mr. T? Twelve. You couldn't be more than five. You're so fat they have to jack you up to take off your shoes.

Well your mama is so- Hold it, wait a minute, wait a minute. Don't bring anyone mother to this. She ain't here. Well, ugly, your ears stick out to get away from your face! Well, your mama is so- Hold it, wait a minute, wait a minute. Don't bring anyone mothering to this. She ain't here. If it wasn't for your mother, you wouldn't be here.

O is for the oven with the burning heat where she stood making sure I had something to eat. Oh When he when he gets to let her tea his face, Oh fuck, I gotta go all the way through this, and I'm only up to T.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha You know somebody wrote that and probably has a gold record on their wall. Hilarious.
Starting point is 00:30:33 Alright, 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. Oh, why must you do this to me? The PR woman. Because I know it hurts you and makes you uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:30:56 I'm glad this is on the record of how you treat me. I go to interview Keanu Reeves for John Wick 3. His publicist happens to be the publicist of Sunderborg. And she's very nice when she sees me. Hi Gino. Hi. I have a big smile on my face. She said, how's Gilbert? And I, 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.
Starting point is 00:31:32 It's still stuck in your craw. It's still, it's, 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.
Starting point is 00:31:47 You should have learned by now. I know. Okay, let's do the Sly Stallone story because I know how Gilbert's going to take us out. I know what Clippy's going to call for at the very end. Alright, now Gilbert, do you know? Yes. You tell the Danny Thomas story, you tell the Cesar Romero story. We don't know if these stories are true.
Starting point is 00:32:02 This allegedly... Oh, I think we know if they're true. Oh, yeah. It's true. All true. This allegedly happened now, 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 the
Starting point is 00:32:23 balls, cradle the balls, stroke the shaft. 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, Gilbert, which tells these kind of stories all the time. Gilbert, you're falling down on the job. How have you not told this story?
Starting point is 00:32:48 I heard also, when I heard this story, I heard they would say like, okay, we're gonna do scene one, scene one. And okay, like the other people on the set would all start saying that and saying, okay, everyone in your spots, in your spots. They'd say cradle the balls. Do it again, Gino. Cradle the balls.
Starting point is 00:33:14 That's beautiful. Stroke the shaft. We had Erwin Winkler here who made the Rocky movies. We never mentioned it. In fact, one time they had a tape of 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, and this is for, I was gonna say for all those 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.
Starting point is 00:33:49 That's my life story. In fact, we have a tape of Paul Williams saying, Crackle the bulks, Crackle the bulks. Wouldn't you say testicles because there are more syllables? Yes! Cr-a-t-e-l-d-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t-e-t- If Frank was paying any attention, because Gino'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. He really does.
Starting point is 00:34:33 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. Erwin Wiggler never brought it up. What was he going to end with? I don't know where you're going on this. Create a little butt. Hilarious. Don't forget the shafts.
Starting point is 00:34:45 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 Cheetos here. Come on. Come on, the Sondra Bullock tape. I think we should leave Rocky going. Hold on. We made it almost through the whole show without hearing that.
Starting point is 00:35:00 I'm sorry I brought it up. We could have rapped. He wouldn't have known. I wanted to be nice. Oh, he mixed them. Clever fellow. Play it by itself! She said she'll cradle the balls. Frank, Frank, I want one clear one of her saying,
Starting point is 00:35:30 I'm so turned on, I will fuck you. 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. Come here. I will fuck you. Yeah. That's 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
Starting point is 00:36:00 it about you. Jim J Bullock. And Gilbert's response as I said earlier, oh yes! Oh yes! Oh yes! You know when Rocky was done, he turned to Gino and he said... Frank's the best. I thought he was going for Tommy Lee Jones. I did too, I did too. You want to sign off Mr. God Gottfried and say goodbye to this man? What an entertaining fellow you are, Salomon.
Starting point is 00:36:29 I adore you. I would love to say goodbye to this man. Give Pam our love. Thank you. Do you want to say goodbye to this man? Goodbye to this man. Goodbye to this man. Are you dead?
Starting point is 00:36:40 I am dead. Should I cremate you? You can't do that. Are you dead? I am dead! Should I cremate you? You cremate me! Are the ashes getting in your mouth? He's having a stroke. Gino's having a myocardial infarction. Gino, thanks for coming, Val. We adore you. Gilbert and Frank's amazing colossal obsessions with Gino Salomon who got me another gift.
Starting point is 00:37:16 Sucker! Thanks, Val. Come back again. I will, thank you.
