Gilbert and Frank's very amazing Colossal Melbag. Colossal Melbag. Colossal Melbag. Melbag! Hi, this is Gilbert Gottfried, and I'm here with my co-host, Frank Santopadre, and this is Gilbert and Frank's amazing, colossal obsessions, and we're mourning the death of Ray Bones.

Yes. He looks good to me. I'll have no obsessions myself here. So I brought you guys a treat. Okay. Something I was going through old boxes. We don't be the judge of that. A treat would be if you stayed home. That would be a treat. Second to that. We had a literal treat.

Sitting in that chair. That's right. Treat Williams. That's right. So I have a valise here that was delivered in a Brinks truck to the studio. A valise? A valise. I like the term valise. What are you, Franklin Pangborn? Yes. I have a valise. A valise. I like the term valise. What are you, Franklin Pangborn? Yes. I have a valise. A valise. Go ahead. How many guests bring a valise? Not too many.

Yeah. Here we go. You ready? Oh. 1961. The first Batman annual. Where did you find that? I found it. It was in a box when I cleaned out my parents' house.

That's impressive. Years ago. And I finally opened the box. So take a look if you want. That's impressive. That's scary. 1961. Paul went through his trunk. Lois Lane had her own comic book?

She sure did. I remember that checkerboard pattern across the top of the comics. I wonder how many little boys jerked off to this picture. Well, we know you did. Yeah, I did.

Justice League of America. Let me see that Justice League comic, my friend. That's a classic. Hand me back the giant Batman annual. This is in good shape, this Justice League. I know. These are worth thousands of dollars.

I'm going to open up, and I know it I know. These are worth thousands of dollars. Yeah, this has got to be. I'm going to open up, and I know it's probably written by the great Gardner Fox. Let me see if I can find his name. Oh, my God. Test your talent to draw. Look at that. Test your talent. It's like draw Binky. Oh, my God.

I don't even see any writer credits here. So here, can I read you a little something from the intro to this? Let's see. What if Batman forgot all his great talents? It seems incredible, but it happens when his mind blanks out and Robin has to teach him how to be the Batman. Wow.

How about that? Wow. Look at this Justice League comic from 1961. This is Justice League number five. Look at the price. Ten cents. Back when Justice League number five. Wow. Look at the price. Ten cents.

Back when a comic book was ten cents. I suggest you take this home, put it in a Mylar bag, and have it appraised. You think so? Yeah, because it's probably worth a couple of hundred bucks.

Yeah. Walking around with it loose in a valise. That's why I had it deleted. It's Justice League number five, pal. In a valise. What are you doing?

Actually, it's not worth anything at all. Let me take it home. Let me borrow that sucker. So that was my treat. What do you think? Not bad. I would protect those. Go online and find a comic buyer's guide and see what those puppies are worth.

Not bad. Or go on that porn TV show. What, the porn stars? Yeah, yeah. They'll rob them blind. Oh, yeah. They'll say,

oh, this is worth about 12 cents. Yeah. You have any housekeeping, Gil, that you want to open this mini episode with? We had those guests on

who watched the dog perform cunnilingus on Jacqueline Bissett. Tom Johnson and David Fantel. Even if that's not quite what happened. Yes, that's their name. It was a Rottweiler with one of those really

giant tongues. Are you sure? And yes, and Jacqueline Bissett held up a little doggy treat and rang a bell and the dog went. No shit. And the dog went down on her. Oh, wow. Just waved a liver snap.

Yeah. That's all it took. I'll keep that in mind. So somebody, what's his name? Mark Arnold. Mark Arnold. Who is a podcast listener. Made up a photo of Jacqueline Bissett with a bunch of dogs around her.

Did I send it to you, Paul? I don't think I saw that one, yeah. I already thought it was funny, and then I look in the corner, and there's a picture of me and a dog out there. Very clever, Mark Arnold.

Yeah, that made me laugh. I want to mention something. We did our first episode back after summer break was a trivia call-in show with our pal Rupert Holmes. Yes. And I announced at the top of that episode that the best caller, the best question of the night was going to be awarded a prize. And then we ended the show.

We were running so long on time to get the hell out of there. And we basically wrapped the show. So I went back and I listened to it and the first question of the night was the question that impressed us the most.

Do you remember what it was? It was who was in the next room having an angioplasty when Frank Sinatra was passing away. The question was asked by Andrew LaPasha.

I hope I'm pronouncing his name correctly. So he is the winner. So, Andrew, if you're listening to this, private message us, PM us on Facebook or me, and send us your address, and we will send you the prize. So you are the winner for the best question. Frank Sinatra was dying in one room. Cedars-Sinai, I think.

And in the other room, Dana Carvey was having open heart surgery. That was the answer to the question. Wow. Yeah. So who was the celebrity in the next room? We didn't verify any of that, but it was a hell of a trivia question. And in an extra room, a dog was eating out Jack O'Lantern. Oh, right.

Moving right along. It was dressed in medical garb, so it's okay. And the doctor said, hey, the hell with Frank Sinatra and Dana Carvey. There's a dog going down on Jacqueline Bissett. I will not be

sending this episode to Jacqueline Bissett as an incentive to lure her to do the show. She's probably listening going, I'll have to do this show. We cross people out every time Gilbert tells an anecdote. We're doing something different. We haven't done a Listener Mail episode in a long time. We did a trivia night, which was great. People got to talk to us, and we got to

hear their voices. There is a Facebook group that we have never heard from, and that is called the Amazing Colossal Progressive Listening Society. The Scandinavian one. Well, no. Not that one. I thought that was that one. That one's unmentionable.

This is the people who insisted on talking politics on the regular listening society. Right. They splintered off? Well, they were sort of violating the rules of that page, which was no politics. Right. So they formed their own page where you could talk politics as well as podcasting. And the guy that started it, Alan Bernard, said to me, well, you never ask questions from our group.

So there's 2,000 or so people in that group. And I thought we'll give them equal representation. Isn't it mostly the same people, but they can just curse? It's some of the same people. But I think there's some new people and names that I didn't recognize. But they recognize Gilbert's deep devotion to politics. Yes, yes. There's no more political comedian than Gilbert Gottfried who's still doing Adlai Stevenson jokes.

I'm like Mozart. You really are. Yes. You really are. And Will Durst combined. So we're going to hear from the Progressive Listening Society. And we have some questions here. And then they can't say that we didn't reach out to them and that we weren't doing favored nations.

They've been saying that all over town. They have been. They've been maligning us. And, of course, Frank's right. A lot of these people are the same people. Laura Pinto. Hey, Frank, since we all love to hear Gilbert sing, when will you be releasing a greatest Gilbert's hit album? I'm ready.

That's it. Is the'm ready. That's it. Is the world ready for that? Yes. There may be a song rights issue. Our pal, the Rabbi David Komarowski, will Gilbert be hosting a telethon for Munchausen syndrome by proxy? Gilbert?

It's my pet cause. I hope I'll be wheeled out in my hospital garden. You don't really see telethons much anymore. No. It's sort of a thing of the past. No, it is funny. Yeah, it's kind of an antiquated form of show business. Gilbert's Munchausen by proxy.

It doesn't quite trip off the tongue. We have to do that. And Ray Bone is the poster boy for it. It's a good idea. Remember Jan Murray used to do the Chabad telethon? Oh, yes. Am I saying that correctly? The Chabad Telethon? Oh, yeah. Am I saying that correctly? The Chabad Telethon.

Chabad Telethon. Yeah. I used to love watching. That was even more lower rent than the MDA Telethon. I remember John Voight dancing in a circle of rabbis. Wow. Are you sure you didn't dream that? And I thought, yeah.

I thought I must have fallen asleep. Wow. And you sure you didn't dream that? And I thought, yeah. I thought I must have fallen asleep. Wow. And this must be. And I thought I had been watching like, I don't know, MTV or something. And they were trying to be crazy and wild. And then I switched over to that telethon. I thought, this is genuinely crazy. George Grimwood.

Hi, Frank. A couple of questions. I finally got around to seeing It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, and I adored it. And I'm wondering if you or Gil have any recommendations for other movies with vast comedy ensembles for big casts. Never as big as that. No, no. And you're indifferent about that movie. You like it okay, but it's really...

It's like, I feel like... I think I like it more than you do. Everybody should see it. And there's several great moments, but it is kind of a mess. Yeah. The Great Race, I think... People are going to come after me for this, but The Great Race has a comedy ensemble, a smaller one.

Yeah. But it's Ross Martin and Larry Storch and Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon and Natalie Wood and Kenan Wynn and George McGree. There's a lot of people in it. And Hal Smith, who was the drunk on the Andy Griffith show. Oh, wow. It has a great cast

of character actors, and it's kind of like that movie. I like it better. I know people will consider that heresy. Most of those movies with big comedy casts, like Rat Race, which was the Zucker attempt to do the— Every time they've tried to— Scavenger Hunt. Yeah. Every time they tried to do a remake of Mad, Mad World, it's horrible.

Yeah, there have been too many good ones. And what was the one with the glad bags? That was called, oh well, our pal Rick Overton was in that one. That was called Million Dollar Mystery. Yes. I believe. There's always the worst mess. They made a lot of them.

There was the Big Bus. They made parodies of Verwin Allen movies that were comedies with big comedy cast. There's a movie similar to Mad Mad World. Much smaller cast. But that was Who's Minding

the Mint. And that's a good one. That one's better. It's Milton Berle, Victor Bono. Didn't Howard Morris direct that? I think so. Jim Hutton's in that. And Gilligan is in it. Bob Denver.

Bob Denver. When would that have been? Oh, and who was the girl? The hot-looking girl. I can't remember. If only our researcher were present. Yeah, who was the girl? Was she the wife?

And who was mining the mint? Was she the wife of Bernie Kovacs? What do you got? I don't know the girl, but the motorcycle they drove in scene five, it was a Harley. Very good. Okay, look up. Who's minding the men? All right, we'll come back to it.

We'll come back to Raybone. Next year. Was it Dorothy Provine? I think it could have been. She was really hot. Brendan Joyce. Okay, guys. Better career suicide.

Oh, wait, wait. You know who else was in it? And we talked to him about it. Here. Here was a case of an Italian. No. It was a Jew and an Arab playing Italian brothers. Oh, Gino Conforti.

Nope. Nope. playing Italian brothers. Oh, Gino Conforti. Nope. Nope. It was Joey Bishop and... What's...

Jamie Farr. Clinger. Jamie Farr. Jamie Farr and Joey Bishop playing Italian brothers. Why did I think Gino was in that one? He could have been. Who was the woman?

Female lead. Female lead. Female. Did somebody say Dorothy Provine? There you go. Why did I think Geno was in that one? He could have been. Who was the female lead? Did somebody say Dorothy Provine? There you go. You're already too fucking late. I got one right for a change. Jim Hutton, Milton Berle, Walter Brennan. Walter Brennan, who hated blacks and Jews. She's also in the great race.

Jamie Provine. Jamie Farr, did you mention him? We just mentioned him. We just had a 15 minute conversation how Jamie Far was in the movie and then after

it's over, after a half hour of us talking about it I found out Jamie Far was in it. I can't do these shows. It's my fault. Paul's mic is on a 10-minute delay. Here's another one.

Brendan Joyce, better career suicide, McLean Stevenson or Randy Quaid? Oh. Wait. There are different kinds of career suicides. Totally different. Can Gilbert name, although now we've got trivia again. Henry Kaplan.

Can Gilbert name all the actors who've played Inspector Clouseau? Probably not, but of course Peter Sellers. There was Roberto Benigni. Well, he played a different character. Oh, he was like the nephew. Something like that. Oh, Alan Arkin. Correct. Correct.

Recently, someone... Ted Walsh? No, Ted Walsh played an American. Steve Martin. Oh, that's right. Steve Martin. Oh, that's right. Yes.

Holy fuck. Yeah, and if you want a deep dive, Roger Moore played him in Ted's movie, in The Curse of the Pink Panther. Oh, okay. With an ice bucket on his head, and I still don't understand that. Dale Whiteley, not Roger Moore's him in Ted's movie, In the Curse of the Pink Panther. Oh, okay. With an ice bucket on his head, and I still don't understand that. Dale Whiteley, not Roger Moore's best work. Dale Whiteley, does Gilbert have a love for old gangster pictures, and what are his favorites?

Yeah, well, I mean, I would watch, back then, they'd show the old horror movies, and they also showed all the old Warner Brothers. Yeah, the old Angels with Dirty Faces. Yeah, great one. Roaring Twenties is a great one. Roaring Twenties, terrific. White Heat. Yeah. That was later.

Yeah, I love the same ones. Little Caesar. Yes. Gary Esposito, what was your favorite theater, I think we've covered this, to go see movies in, past and present? Nobody goes to movie theaters anymore, do they? People, the funny thing is, is like I think nowadays there's a lot of people going, you know, I heard people used to go leave their house to see a movie.

It's like going to the automat at this point. I've talked about mine, the Cross Bay Theater in Queens where I grew up, where my grandmother thought it was a good, while she was babysitting my sister and me, thought it was a good idea to take us to see Mia Farrow in a slasher movie called See No Evil. You know this movie? She's a blind governess. Yes. And I think I was 11.

I don't know how the hell she even got us in. Traumatized for months. I just remembered a gangster film that was very much like The Godfather. I think it may have been Three Brothers or something. Rocco and his three brothers? Maybe. Rocco and his brothers? Edward G. Robinson.

That sounds right. And I think, what's his name? Richard Conte. That sounds right. Yeah. Richard Conte. That sounds right. Yeah.

And I heard Richard Conte's career started because John Garfield saw him in something, and he said, I like that guy. I didn't know that. Richard Conte, who was Bozzini in The Godfather. Yes. Yeah, one of the nemeses. We will return to Gilbert Gottfried's amazing colossal podcast after this. Baseball is finally back.

Holy fuck, what am I, the, oh fuck, what was the name of that theater? What, in Coney Island?

Yes, no, no. It was in Crown Heights on Eastern Parkway. Well, he can't look that one up. It's not the one they renovated and made into a big new space. Is it the King's Theater? Not King. Did you watch porn there when they converted it in the 70s?

What the fuck? I know the name of that theater. What was the street name?'ll get it by the end. It was on Eastern Parkway. Eastern Parkway. Moving along. Jamie Dixon, I recently watched Lair of the White Worm. Do you know this movie?

I know there's a hot looking English actress in there. Ken Russell movie. And I watched Rio Lobo, and it had me thinking about actors with the buggiest eyes. Oh, what's his name? It has to be Jack Elam. Jack Elam, yes. Real oboe. Yes.

That seems like a logical topic. Yeah, we'll do a mini episode on the actors with the buggiest eyes. David Smolar. Frank, in case you didn't use my trivia questions from the Call-In Show, here's fun for you guys and no cheating. Trivia for Gilbert. To whom I owe a kugel. He owes you kugel. Oh, okay.

Three robot characters. I'll give you the characters' names. Jaime. It gets more. Very good. Yo-Yo. Oh, Yo-Yo and the thing with... What's that actor's name? John Shuck. Right, and Jaime was played by the late Dick Odie, who we tried to get here.

And Val, released in 1981. Oh, well, that of course, 2001. No, released in 1981. Oh, well, that, of course, 2001. No, that's Hal. No, that's Hal. Hal! Yeah, he's saying Val. Hal! Oh, Val!

Yeah. 81. Bad Robot Movie. Ooh. Starred Bernadette Peters and Andy Kaufman. Oh. It's called Heart Beeps. Oh, yes, yes.

Made by our friend Alan Arkush. Rusty Lerner. Did Gilbert have any run-ins with Sandra Bernhardt on the stand-up circuit back in the day? I mean, I'd play same clubs as her. Yeah. Any problems? No. In fact. I'm not sure what he means by run-in.

We were both in a horrible movie together. I mean, I had maybe two tiny scenes. That surprises me. Yeah. Gilbert, take a look. I couldn't find anything. I got a bunch of pictures of old theaters in Brooklyn. I don't know if one of these is the one you're...

Yeah, we'll make the listeners wait while Gilbert scrolls through pictures of old movie theaters on your phone. Yeah, well... I'll keep going, Gilbert. I hope they can contain their excitement. Shout out if you recognize it. Okay, you just go on with the show. I want to give a shout out to Mike Erickson

who and I can't believe this I'm stunned and speechless named his dog after me his dog is named Frank Santopadre Erickson because his wife announced we are not naming the dog after Gilbert Gottfried Frank came to mind, and it stuck. Keep up the good work.

I'm blushing. I don't know what to say. You had no idea where this show would take you. I hope the dog is paper trained. No offense, but I think Raybone is a way cooler name for a dog. It's a much better name for a dog. Paul Ekstrom, how much do you guys edit out of the episodes? Oh, you mean like this one?

Are we missing anything good? No. No, absolutely not. We trim a little bit here and there. We should actually have more stuff we could edit into the episodes. Yeah, it depends on the length of time. It depends on how many horrific things Gilbert has said. You know, it might have been the cameo.

The cameo? Yeah. Not a K. That's irony. Yeah, I see. Cameo. You know, I kind of regret the little edits we've made, and sometimes we take out shots. I wish I had set them. I mean, we still have them all in the original recordings, but I wish I had sort of marked each episode's cutouts. So if we ever wanted a, like...

Oh, what, a director's cut of deleted scenes? Or an episode of, like, deleted bits. They weren't deleted for a reason, though. Yes. In many cases. Now, could I just make a little plug here? Wasn't that a wonderful piece of research to come up with the Cameo Theater? Yeah, but can you keep quiet for the rest of the show, please?

You redeemed yourself for shows 18 through 47. Right. We don't edit that much, Paul. Less and less. Let's see. Oh, well, you know, I once got bleeped on the Howard Stern show. Really? Which is quite an honor.

Really? Yeah, because I remember I made a joke, and he bleeped it. And then he said, I just saved your career right now. There you go. I might have made a few similar edits over the years. Oh, yes, yes. I'm sure you have. A handful of career savers.

I'm sure you have. Let's move on. Alan Bernard, who is the, what do you call it, the moderator of the page. Cliff Nesteroff. What is he working on, and can he come back again for a mini? Yeah, we'll have Cliff. We have Cliff periodically. He always has great stories.

You like to mangle his name? Yes. You like to get upset? No, I didn't have him. You like to get upset when he tells stories, like Stu Gilliam attacking someone with an axe? God, yes. And how Timmy Rogers got beaten up. Yeah.

And how Joey Lewis had his tongue pulled out by the mob. Yes. That was a fun episode. No. That was a feel-good show. God, yeah, because his first time he was here, we were laughing, having fun. God, yeah, because his first time he was here, we were laughing, having fun. Then it was, oh, and how when Walter Brennan heard that Martin Luther King died, he was dancing.

Yeah, just there. Yeah, it was like, oh, God. It was a dark episode. Yeah. But we love Cliff, and he's welcome here anytime. John Dawson, what did Lorne Michaels say to Gil at the SNL 40th oh you know this was I don't think it was the 40th I think it was the one

before it and it was what no it was the 35th 25th yeah he said he said hello to me and then I thought oh I wasn't sure you'd be talking to me. And he said, well, why?

You're a brick on this wall. Very nice. And I thought that was, yeah, that was really nice. Very, very nice. Yeah, you and Denitra Vance. Oh, my God, yes. Oh, my God, yes. I want to, you know, whenever they do a magazine article of the history of Saturday Night Live,

I always go right to the whatever happened to and make sure my name's not in there. Well, didn't they rank, didn't Entertainment Weekly or Us Magazine or something rank the all-time cast members? Oh, yeah. You were low-ranked, but they complimented you. Yes, yes. Yes. Dale Whiteley again. Since Gilbert and Frank are from big cities, were Westerns big in New York? Yeah, I think so.

Yeah? Yeah. You got a favorite Western? Yeah. Yeah. You got a favorite Western? I remember watching some Western at the Cameo Theater. I think it was Barry Sullivan. Yeah.

Wow. And I, of course, went to see it because on the poster, Lon Chaney was in it. Wow. What was the Western? I don't know. How about that? But I'm sure Rayburn will come up with it. I'm sure he will.

In the next 12 years. Well, Lon Chaney had a great scene in High Noon. Yeah. He's in a couple of Westerns. He was terrific in that. My favorite Western is My Darling Clementine, which is a cliched pick. Oh, yeah. But what the hell.

It's a great one. And of course, The Man Who the man who shot liberty love that one too great one love that i love ride the high country i love so many of those anthony man westerns are great robert heaps we all know that jerry lewis was famously always nice to gilbert what celebrity was particularly unpleasant to gilbert yeah see, I like using that term. With Jerry Lewis, you can go, well, he was always nice to me. You and Kathleen Freeman. Yes, yes.

Do you want to answer this question or do you want to punt? I'll punt. Okay, I think I know one. Yeah, okay. I have a million, but... It was one that I know. They'll have to beat it out of me.

Mark New. Hey, Frank, we need to get to the bottom of who actually has the biggest schwanz in the business. Is it Uncle Miltie, Forrest Tucker, or Hunts Hall? Well, we're splitting hairs there. I'm saying Uncle Miltie. You're going with Miltie? Yeah.

Yeah. He has a part two to his question. Whatever happened to some of the black comics who came along on the heels of Bill Cosby's success? They made an initial splash and then seemed to disappear. Stu Gillum and Scully Mitchell. Yes, yes. Scully's with us. Gino's been trying to find Scully Mitchell.

Stu Gillum disappeared shortly after he pulled the axe out of his car. Went berserk. Why would that hurt someone's career? I don't know. It shouldn't have. Let me see. Let me see. Gilbert, what is your worst experience with a heckler?

Do you have a heckler experience that you want to share? Not anything. That wasn't Dara, I mean. Yeah. anything that wasn't Dara I mean yeah Joseph Rodriguez

now that he's coming back with Dolomite and coming to America too will you try to get Gilbert's favorite co-star and old pal Eddie Murphy

has Eddie done a podcast I don't think so he's done Comedians in Cars yeah he has I think he'd be a reach. Yeah? Yeah. You want to call him?

Yeah. Right after I speak to Mel Brooks, I'll call him. But you guys were so chummy. Yes. You and Eddie. Mel Brooks, I understand. Let's see. Josh Chambers says, following Joseph's query, can you not have Joe Piscopo on the show?

Okay, a more legit question. What is the best movie or TV promotional gimmick you've ever seen? A promotional gimmick. Oh, well, that was all of those that William Castle had. You know, John Waters released, was it Polyester? Oh, it was the Smell. The Smell-O-Vision? Yeah.

The Scratch-A-Stiff card? I went and saw that and got a Smell-O-Vision card. That was actually fun. Yeah. TV gimmicks. I can't think of too many TV gimmicks. Hey, speaking of black comics and movies. Yes.

And now I can't remember his name. Chris something. He would do all the Jackie Chan movies. Oh, Chris Tucker. Yeah. Where's he now? I have no idea. I have no idea.

Not doing this podcast. No. For one. Let me see. Let me see. What else do I have here for you? If there was an amazing colossal book club, whose memoirs would you add to the shelf?

Well, you don't read the books. No. Did you read any of the Jerry Lewis books? Did you read King of Comedy? Or what was the name of that thing? Or the Sean Levy book? There was one book I started to read that was written by his ex-wife, Patty, and her sons.

And I got through, I think, a quarter of the book, and I thought, this is just too painful. That bad? Yeah, yeah. Wow. What are your, this is from Martin Bow, B-O-U-W. How would you pronounce that? Bow? B-O-U-W.

Bow? I wouldn't pronounce it at all. What are your and Gilbert's favorite final episodes of sitcoms? Oh. You have a favorite? I like the Odd Couple final episode. Yeah, I was just thinking of that. I was just thinking.

Because he says, when he's leaving, Felix goes, I'm going to drop garbage on the floor. And I think he empties out. He empties the waste paper basket as a tribute to Oscar. And Oscar says, and I'm going to clean that up. Right. And then when he walks out, Oscar says, I'm not going to clean that up. And Felix comes back and he goes, I knew he wouldn't. It was great business. That was a sweet episode. up. And Felix comes back and he goes, I knew he wouldn't. It was great business.

That was a sweet episode. Yes. And a sweet farewell. Okay, this is from Paul Soar. Is that Soar? Can you read that on the screen, Paul? What's that name above the video? S-A-U-R.

Is that Paul Soar? I can't see it. S-A-U-R. Paul Soar. Paul Soar. Okay, he wants to know if Gilbert remembers this. And we actually have a clip. Oh. Quick Stick brought to you by Tegrin Shampoo. Paul Soar. Paul Soar. Okay, he wants to know if Gilbert remembers this, and we actually have a clip. Ooh.

Quick Stick brought to you by Tegrin Shampoo. I'm going to say, be funny in 12 seconds. No, I can't do it. I can't do it. I please no. I please no. All of you at home, I please no. Does that ring a bell?

Yes. Quick Stick for Tegrin. Oh, my God. Yes, they had a bunch of different comics do those. And I remember I had some dopey agent at the time who was saying, no, no, don't do that. That's a mistake. And I said, here they are. They have me on.

They're saying my name and they're gonna pay me uh a lot of money for it so why not you know but i had this agent oh oh her her reasoning was well what if that comes on when you're doing uh the when you're doing the Letterman show? And I said, yeah. I think God came down personally and was blessing my career that I'm on Letterman and then they break for a commercial and it's me. Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah.

How many of those did you do? I think. Did they send you free Tegrin? Yeah. What is it? Shampoo? Do you still have it? It's shampoo. Shampoo. Yeah. Yeah. How many of those did you do? I think. Did they send you free Tegrin? Yeah. What was it? Shampoo? Do you still have it? It's shampoo.

Shampoo, yeah. Yeah, but that was her reasoning. Don't do it because it might come on when you're doing Letterman. She couldn't answer that. How are you going to argue with that? Yeah. We'll do this one last. This is from Brendan Joyce.

Frank, what is a movie comedy that you like but is generally regarded as a failure or a bomb? Gilbert, you can go first. I have too many. We've talked about one on this show, 1941. Oh, yes. It's considered a failure. Yes. And I like it.

Sue me. I can't think of any offhand. No? Any movies that flopped that you actually like? um well I mean I guess Bye Bye Braverman

didn't do well probably not there's a lot wrong with it Sidney Lumet himself even said there was stuff but it's one of those movies when it comes on TV

I have to watch Phyllis Newman died yesterday and she's in bye bye braverman oh my god there you go wow yeah uh a movie called five corners does anybody know this movie i've talked about it before i know that directed by tony bill who made a more popular movie called my bodyguard yeah and it was j it was jody foster tim robbins and john tuturo i don't know if anybody can find it. Yeah.

Written by John Patrick Shanley. Oh, wow. Of Moonstruck fame. Yeah. And it's really good. And I think the Hudsucker Proxy, too, is another movie that I think the Coens least respected movie that I love. Oh, and they also. It probably didn't do well.

There was that other movie, I think, bomb that the Coen brothers did, A Serious Man. Yeah, I don't know how much that, I don't know if that was a failure. Was that the one when he was the barber? No, that's called The Man Who Wasn't There. I like that one too. Richard's in A Serious Man. Oh, yes. He has some great moments in that.

And that guy, Goldman or something like that, He played Edward G. Robinson in Trumbo. Oh, God. Yeah, I can't remember his name. Yeah. Well, we'll end on that down note. Yes. Anything else you want to add? Anything Raybone wants to add?

Well, after you guys leave, I'm going to stay in the studio and research some of the unanswered questions. You really should. Have that comic book appraised, my friend. I want to publish a book called Raybone, the unanswered questions. I think I can get you the rights for that. That's a tome. That'll be impossible to lift.
