Hi, this is Gilbert Gottfried I'm here with my co-host, Frank Santopadre. And this is Gilbert and Frank's amazing, colossal obsessions. Now, I want to tell the crowd a story that happened to us just recently. we recorded three episodes with music a piano player a live audience a sophisticated New York live audience

yes and there were these we were bringing up all these old forgotten one hit wonders and these songs that you've forgotten and the minute you hear it you go oh my god that one that's it so we did 72 through 74 yeah three and and i was singing and then we got the crowd in this thing along joe mcginty was playing along it's sid gold's request everything was magical

it was and so for you people who were there, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for joining us. Because the files crash, and we have no proof that it ever happened. I wish you were kidding. This is the worst thing since the Tonight Show files melted away in storage. When they erased the first episode with Groucho. Right. melted away in storage.

When they erased the first episode with Groucho. Right. What happened is our audio engineer had some problems and something happened and the card that he was recording it on got overloaded and the files crashed. And I'm speaking from ignorance because I'm a layperson. Well, you always speak from ignorance. Yes, that's true too. But the upshot of it is they're toast.

So if you were one of the lucky 50 people in the room that night, and we thank you for coming, as Paul says, it was a one night only. So we'll be redoing those down the line. Yes. And it was like after the three, at the end of the night, everybody was going, wow, that was fun. Especially when you sang Don't Give Up On Us, Baby in its entirety. I sang the entire Don't Give Up On Us, Baby that was originated by David Soul. Yep. And the night Chicago died.

Oh, yeah. We had them all. Playground in my mind. Yeah, it was a magical night. Yeah. And it's gone. It's gone. So now we have our three

lost episodes. That's right. But unlike the Honeymooners' lost episodes, they will not be recovered. Yes! We won't be giving anyone a chance to say, these really weren't that good after all that waiting around.

Oh, the lost honeymooners suck to high heaven. Yeah, and with a very angry Ralph Cramden. Very angry Ralph Cramden and Alice. I guess they wanted to show she could one-up him. Sure. And she would go, ah, shut up. They didn't really have the characters down or like the classic and they had one

where they're on a camping trip and there's a guy in a bear suit chasing them I don't remember that one oh wow yeah that was that's when you knew they were apparently these were never meant to be found again yes right better off lost them. But, yeah, if you were there during our three episodes.

Sid Golds. You can tell people how great it was, and I'll say, well, I'll have to take your word for it. Is it possible that somebody in the apartment upstairs might have had a recorder running? I hope to God. I just want to say I'm extra sad because I couldn't be there, and I was looking forward to hearing what I missed. Right. So now I'm doubly sad. Yeah.

And I've never heard, like, say, Tom Hanks going on TV and going, oh, I did a great movie, but I don't know, you erased it somehow. No film in the camera. Well, I have to give you credit because I've been thinking for the last couple of days how to handle this. My wife says, look, just tell everybody because people were videotaping. People were using their phones and their cameras. My wife said, tell them what happened and people will take pity on you and they'll send you the footage. Yeah.

And they'll send you the photos. So you've just come right out with it. Oh, yes. He's very bold of you. Yes. You know. Gottfried. A lot of video is taken and there's even live stuff

that went up on Periscope whenever. Is the mic hearing you? Probably just enough. But if you get all that, I can probably stitch it together and we can make an episode out of those. Well, we'll try to do that. I'm sure people got a few. We will try to do this. You can do anything. That's ambitious, Frank. We'll try to put them together

like finding – it's kind of like what they did with those last Pink Panther films after Peter Sellers died. With future guest Rich Little dubbing the voice of David Niven. Yes. One foot in the box. He was doing David Niven and Peter Sellers. Have we done a mini episode on the Inspector Clouseau stuff? Because David Niven, I forget what

disease he had, but he couldn't speak. He was still alive, but he was talking like that. Yes. Interesting. So yeah, Rich Little did him and... I didn't know that he did Sellers.

And they found unused footage of Peter Sellers or some that were used. That's a good idea, Paul. We'll do a future Panther episode. We will return to Gilbert Gottfried's amazing, colossal podcast after this. Hey, Ontario. Got any plans?

And now back to the show. Let's do the house cleaning that, the house cleaning, the housekeeping that we did at the top of the last episode. Oh, you should have been there, folks. We want to acknowledge the people we lost uh strangely enough the week that we had hal linden on the show talking about very weird the great ron glass and character actor don kalfa we lost both of them yes that was strange yeah i think

we killed careful of hell linden mentioned mentions yeah i'm just gonna start talking about people i dislike but ron the Ron Glass from The New Odd Couple. Oh, yeah. And, of course, Detective Harris. He was, yeah, it was him and Lamont. Damon Wilson. Yeah. The Black Odd Couple.

Which was really necessary. Be lucky you didn't see the all-female one with Rita Moreno and Sally Struthers. Oh, God, that sounds horrible. I remember hearing about that. That sounds horrible. And Don Calfa, who was a very funny character actor, who I believe we've talked about on this show and recurring on Barney Miller past. But we also lost actor Fritz Weaver.

Oh, yes. Who was in everything. And I guess he was 90. The great Florence Henderson. Yeah. Who turned this show down. Yeah. Or maybe it was a scheduling problem.

We're not sure. No, no. I called her. You did? Yes. And she said, I'll do the show as soon as you get a new co-host. Didn't realize. Yeah, yeah.

She was adamant. Didn't you speak to her shortly before i uh her last words to me i called her days later her last words to me i i said please florence will you do this show and she goes do you have the same co-host and i said yes and she And Florence said, I would rather die. And I heard a loud thump on the ground. I love it. So had you had the Scarlett Johansson robot in place, Florence Henderson would have done the show by now. Yes.

Gino Salamone, who promised us Florence Henderson. Yes. Never came through. Yeah, never came through. That son of a bitch. Fuck him. And I did visit Florence Henderson in the hospital, and I said, I got you a strawberry malted. Oh, come on.

It was strawberry malted. Oh, come on. And Florence said, you know, I had a lot of strawberry malted when I was doing the Brady Bunch. But this one's just bad. Okay. So Florence Anderson somehow at death's door morphed into Buddy Hackett. Yeah. She morphed into Buddy Hackett as Lucas Fellow. So it's an amazing trip.

So I don't know why we didn't get Florence Henderson. I'm going to blame Gino. Yes. I blame the co-host. Could be that. Yeah. We also lost the great Grant Tinker. Oh, my God, yeah.

Founder of MTM, the Mary Tyler Moore Show, Mary Tyler Moore's former husband. Today, well, first we lost Mentor Williams, too, I want to mention, who was our guest, Paul Williams' brother. Yes. Accomplished singer-songwriter in his own right. And he wrote Dobie Gray's Drift Away, a pop song I love from the 70s. Wow. You know that one?

Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul. You know that song. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Paul Williams' brother. Yeah, mentor Williams. And speaking of Williams, today Van Williams passed away, the Green Hornet, from 1966.

Somebody else that we wanted for the show, but he'd been ill for a while, apparently. And there was no bigger Green Hornet fan than I was as a kid. I wrote something about it on Facebook today. So rest in peace, all those wonderful people. We also had birthdays for our friend James Caron. Oh, my God, yes. I spoke to him recently. Did you?

How's he doing? I called him to say happy birthday. He's got, you know, same voice, same sense of humor. The best. Love that man. And I heard he did two student films. He's working. Yeah.

At 93. He's working. God bless that man. Yeah. And also, Schaefer had a birthday. Paul Schaefer. Oh, yeah. And Joe Dante.

So, and we got a lot of feedback from the Bond episodes. Oh, my. Oh, boy. And a couple of corrections. Yes. Okay. We confused, and I blame the co-hosts for this because I knew. I knew.

No. We confused. You were like, hell, you did. We confused Telly Savalas and Don Pleasence. Right. Which isn't easy to do. Yeah, Donald Pleasence, not Don. You were on a Don basis with him.

Yeah, yeah. I was close friends with him. Was Telly Tell? Yeah. Did you call him Tell? We had Donald Pleasence in On Her Majesty's Secret Service when, in fact, it was Telly Savalas playing Blofeld. And Donald Pleasance was in You Only Live Twice. Yes.

So we fucked that up. And a lot of you out there were certainly let us know. And let us know that how could we talk about A View to a Kill and not mention that Papillon Susu was in it. Paul, how did you let us do that? I apologize. Well, once again. Paul Rayu! Paul, how did you let us do that? I apologize. Well, once again. Paul Rayburn is here, too. Paul fucked up.

You know, I've lost some of the magic since we found out she was probably a chiropractor. We don't even know. It takes away, you know. The legend of Papillon continues to grow. And you put out there your panties question. Oh, yes. You were trying to figure out who were the... I put out my panties because I'm tired of being in the closet all the time.

Yes, I'm a cross-dresser and damn proud of it. The panties that your mother laid out for you. Seinfeld homage. The panties that your mother laid out for you. Now, I was recalling that in one Matt Helm film with, of course, Dean Martin, that a girl falls over backwards, her legs go up in the air, and her skirt goes up, and she's wearing white panties. Right.

And there's also an Elvis Presley film where they do the same stuff. So you should put that out there because nobody's come up with the Presley film yet. Okay. If you know of one of the Elvis Presley films where a girl folds over backwards, I think she folds over a suitcase or something and flashes her white panties. Please tell me. Now. Now. And flashes her white panties. Please tell me now. Now. There's an argument.

Yeah, there's some discrepancy here. Because I got people telling me it was Stella Stevens in the Silencers. And somebody else claims that it was Sharon Tate in The Wrecking Crew. In fact, they sent a clip, which I'm going to show you later, of Sharon Tate falling. Was it in a hotel lobby? Yes. And she falls backward over a suitcase? Yes.

I'm pretty sure it's this clip of Sharon Tate in The Wrecking Crew. See, it's much harder to masturbate if it's over an actress who was murdered. Yeah, I would think so. It's much harder to masturbate if it's over an actress who was murdered. Yeah. I would think so. Yeah. As someone murdered by the Mason family. Two of our guests knew Sharon Tate. Oh, that's right.

Lee Grant and Max Baer. God. Richard Layman, so I'm looking at Twitter, says, tell Gilbert, by the way, the film is The Wrecking Crew and the girl is Sharon Tate. Oh. So we'll put that out there and we'll try to solve it definitively. And also, if anybody can chime in with the mystery Elvis movie. Oh, yes.

That Gilbert is looking for. And I know in The Silencers, there's a part where Dean Martin rips Stella Stevens' dress off. She's in her underwear there. Haven't seen them in years. There is a reference on the net to Elvis Presley liking to watch girls mud wrestle in white panties. There you go. Well, that's basically. There could be a connection.

It's a man after your own heart. Yeah, yeah. That's not something I'm going to argue with Elvis Presley about. If I was at his house, I'd go, okay, you know, where's the people here? Right. And someone wrote me, they sent me a clip. I think their name is Hilland Hall or something. And they sent me a clip from a Vincent Gallo film.

Okay. And they said, this isn't a coffee tray. Because I said my ideal nudity would be a naked girl on a coffee tray in a Greek restaurant. Oh, you mean like the, we talked about this, the thing that turns the desserts. Yes, yes. That turns the pies. The revolving pie display. Yeah, in all of the Greek diners.

It would have to be a short. Like a Barbie Greek diners. She'd have to be a short. Like a Barbie doll. Like a Barbie doll. Build a large one for her. To scale like in Land of the Giants. And they showed me that Vincent Gallo starts one of his movies, I think it's called Honey Bunny. Okay. With girls in their underwear on revolving tables.

This episode's already taken a weird dark turn. He made two strange sexually frank films with bunny in the title. Oh, yes. Fins and Gallop. Brown Bunny and Honey Bunny. Yeah. Wow. Okay. And then he's got a stuffed bunny rabbit toy that's also on it.

And I figured I don't want to jerk off. This is a bunny obsession. I will. But. In a pinch. Yeah. Yes. But I'd rather it be an actual girl.

Yes. Well, you've earned that right. Yeah. Yeah. You're a've earned that right. Yeah. You're a man of the world. Quickly, I want to also thank listener Derek Davidson for unearthing a very cool Hollywood Squares pic. I don't know if you saw it on my Facebook page. He found a Hollywood Squares episode where the, what would you call it, the grid or the game board had three Gilbert Gottfried podcast guests on it. Marty Allen was on the top left.

Jessica Walter was on the bottom middle. And on the bottom right were all three of the Hudson brothers. Wow. And with Peter Marshall, that's four of our podcast guests that were on the set together on the same day, which is a cool thing. And I just wanted to share quickly. So first prove to us if it was in fact Sharon Tate and the Wrecking Crew. Yep.

And find the Elvis Presley white panties. Not Elvis Presley wearing them. Yes. I think they can do it. Fans can do it. Oh. Our fans. They're capable of anything. They go crazy.

And this, Danny Duraney, who's a friend of ours and a publicist extraordinaire and brought us Ileana Douglas and other wonderful guests, sent me this on Facebook today out of the blue. And I love getting these kind of messages. He writes, my four-year-old steals my phone to play an online game. He goes on Facebook, befriends Larry Storch, and likes a Paul Lynn fan page. Well, I don't mind. Heriending Larry Storch, but anything with little kids and Paul Lynn. I know, it's a little weird. I would worry.

So quickly, we don't have a lot of time here, but we'll do a little quick viewer mail here. And these are tweets. We get them, we get them. Sandra O., not the actress. Sandra O., just the letter O. You guys need to do a show on bad 70s disaster films like The Towering Inferno, Earthquake, and Airport. Well, we've talked about them.

We did a mini-ep about Irwin Allen. Yeah. But we could go into more depth and we'll do that. Oh, yeah, there were some great ones. At some point. Somebody sent a clip from the Paul Lynch show we'll do that. Oh, yeah. There were some great ones. At some point. Somebody sent a clip from the Paul Lynch show. There you go. Oh, yeah.

I love this one. Hey, I was watching Seinfeld. Why don't you guys book Ron Howard's funny-looking brother? Oh, my God. Yes, yes. Clint Howard. That was from- Oh, Clint Howard.

That's right. That was from Marty Schalder's M-Tie. This one's for Gilbert. Evan No Funny. I love these Twitter handles. Tell Gilbert the Devil's Reign is on the Shudder app. S-H-U-D-D-E-R. I thought you would like to know.

I know you're obsessed with the Devil's Reign. Oh, yes. Yes, because John Travolta shows up for a second wearing a monster mask. That is a weird one. Going, blasphemer. And Ernest Bogdine's in it. Ernest Bogdine and William Shatner. I got to see the devil's reign.

What's the matter with me? This is in response to the Bond episode. John Zilla, he writes, did I miss you guys talking about Wang Wang? John Zilla, he writes, did I miss you guys talking about Wang Wang? Wang Wang as Agent 3 1⁄2 in a movie called, what is the name of this movie? For Your Height Only. Oh, yes. Yes.

He's apparently a Filipino little person. And there was another one, not just for your height only, but another one. So obviously one of them did so well that he had a sequel. Paul, can you look up Wang Wang? He was an Asian midget. Wang Wang. Yeah, a Filipino little person. Midget. Midget.

Gilbert loves to say midget. In a Bond spoof or a Bond send-up. While Paul's looking that up. And the interesting thing is in one part of the movie goes, I am Filipino. Oh, that's what I wanted to bring up too. Somebody sent me an interview with Roger Moore.

Okay. In which he reveals that Herbie Villachez or Herve Villachez was a sex fiend. See that, that's, this is a crazy womanizer. This is that, that, this is the stuff. Was a crazy womanizer. This is the stuff that, that makes me angry. Why is that? You've got Herve Villachez, who, who is like, was this close to being a circus freak.

And, and. He was a French Johnny Eck almost. And he's getting like ridiculous pussy. And I figured, you know, next to Herve Villachez, I'm George Clooney already. You know, it's like. It's not fair. What do you got on Wang Wang, Paul? Wang Wang is big.

His name was. Wang Wang is big. Little big. A little big man. Ernesto de la Cruz. Of course. Is born. A little big man. Ernesto de la Cruz is born. He was two feet, nine inches tall, which made him listed in the Guinness World Records book as the shortest adult actor in a leading role.

Wow. A lot of qualifiers there. Shortest adult actor. How big is he? And who is his character in For Your Height Only? Who did he play? Agent Double O. Agent Double O. Agent Double O. Hilarious.

I've got to track that down. And the sequel was The Impossible Kid. Wang Wang. He was now working for the Manila branch of Interpol in the pursuit of Mr. X, an archvillain with a white sock on his head. Now, how big is Vern Troyer? Well, you can look that up while I move on. No, no, this is important. He'll find it.

He can hold off things. Here's a tweet from a guy named Campus. He says, the most interesting podcast and worst audible experience would be Real Gilbert interviewing Bob Goldthwait. Bobcat Goldthwait. We'll see if we can make that happen. Verne Troyer. You ready? This is big. This is big again. Hit me.

His height was 2 feet 8 inches. One inch shorter than Wang Wang. There was no Wang Wang. What about Mishu? What about the guy that was in the Alf costume that died recently? We'll do a whole episode about it. Oh, and who was the mini Marlon Brando?

What was that actor's name? You can look him up. He was in the remake of The Island of Dr. Moreau. And find out how tall he was. He was the guy that, I think that was the performer that inspired Mini-Me. Yeah, I mean. You had suggested it came off of Irving. But I think, I mean, it's obviously, you know, Brando and that guy is Mini-Me.

But I think definitely the idea of a villain who's going after him, who's a midget, is started with Irving Villages. It may have. And while Paul is looking that up, Nick O'Time tweets us, I was teaching Donald O'Connor how to do the Macarena. I never thought I would hear that said in my life. That refers to the Hal Linden episode. Oh, yes. Which was fun.

Hal turned out to be a real great sport. Yeah, yeah. He was a lot of fun. Brought his clarinet. Your story, I don't know why he's apologizing to Gilbert. Apologies to Gilbert, but your story about Tony Curtis talking about Marilyn wrecked me. So I don't know why he's apologizing to you. Because you had some kind of role in it.

But that was from Johnny Ray. Not the actual Johnny Ray, I'm assuming. I remember supposedly Tony Curtis said, Fucking Marilyn Monroe is like fucking Hitler. I'm not even sure what that means. I don't know either, but it's a great line. Maybe she had a small square mustache that she bleached. I love this tweet from Eric Rine.

It just says, images of Forrest Tucker. Who else is getting this tweet anywhere in the world? Who's getting a tweet called images of Forrest Tucker? This is like the conversations that happen in my house between my wife and I. Oh, yes. She yells out from the room one day, hey, is Wolfman Jack still alive? Oh, my God. I say no.

I think we lost the Wolfman. She says, ah, too bad. Let's see. Can you guys do an ACO podcast on only John Vernon films? Oh, my goodness. Josie, Out of the Josie Wales Dirty Harry Animal House. I'll throw in. But it wasn't until Animal House that people really said

oh that guy. Yeah. Yeah that was from let's see that was from Joe Dutra our friend. He tweets us a lot. Because he was always the villain. Oh yeah. Oh John Vernon? Always a heavy. Yes Cinema says we're thinking about remaking The Swimmer, tell Gilbert, but instead of

pools, he will eat his way across town at pizza places. That's interesting. Dane Giroux also wants to know why we didn't bring up For Your Height Only. Apparently there's a following for this film. I guess that's her cult movie. Yeah. Paul, you're once again proving why you should never show up here again. I know.

I can't find what you asked me to find, but I'm having a lot of fun serving at work. Look up the island of Dr. Moreau and Brando. The guy with the little kerchief on his head. Tyler Ham. The island of Dr. Moreau and Brando. Yep. Okay. Tyler Ham writes, so, guys, is Donnie Donegan now the the last surviving cast member of the pre-'50s universal horror classics?

I think so. I think he is. After Lupita's death. Oh, but, oh, oh, yeah, because he was in the movie before Janet Ann Gallo. Right, right, right. Yeah, we got to get Donnie. Oh, yeah, we have to. Let's see.

Donnie Donegan not only was the son of Basil Rathbone and son of Frankenstein, and he looks and sounds nothing like Basil Rathbone. Nothing at all. Yeah. Yeah. He was also the voice of Bambi. Yes. Donnie Donegan.

And he was a war hero. Yep. So we got to get him on. Interesting man. Yes, Paul. Would it have been... Oddly enough they don't list the heights of most actors. Right. Throw the cast out. We'll see if... Because Val Kilmer's in it. Would it have been Hyena Man in

Dr. Moreau? No! That's a different... It was his assistant. His assistant. His protege. His lackey. His mini as mini lackey. His mini Moreau. His Igor, in other words. Yeah, we'll find it. Our friend John Fodiatis writes, I was at Real Gilbert and Frank Santopadre.

It said, Gold's last night, Gilbert's singing qualifies as enhanced interrogation under the rules of the Geneva Convention. Thank you, John. John also tweets this. I could listen to Gilbert do Tony Curtis all day. Isn't that nice? Three Oranges writes,

Duncan Jacks had two films, Fake Bond with a baboon sidekick. Second one is about reviving frozen Hitler and the baboon drives a tank. Oh, that I have to see. Send us more on that. And I also had a few people remind me of A Man Called Flintstone. Oh, yes. It was released theatrically as a feature. We caught hell for that. Oh, let. It was released theatrically. Yes. As a feature. We caught hell for that.

Oh, let's see. A couple more here. I'm trying to go fast here. A lot of people are enjoying your squatty potty read. I know. The squatty potty is a big success. Yes. Let's see.

Who else do we have here? People pitching guests. Joe Dutra wants to see Ben Vereen on the show. He's an interesting man who's had an interesting career. So go out and get yourself a squatty body. And after you use it, I'll autograph it. That's just wrong for so many reasons. In fact, I'll autograph it while you're using it.

Oh, my God. Oh, heavens. Let's see what else we have here while I'm tweeting. Peaches Swearingen. I love that name. That sounds like Papillon Soussou. I love the thoughtful, deep, funny, and very entertaining interview with Joe Pantoliano on the podcast. Boy, he turned out to be a treat, didn't he?

Yeah. He was so open about all his craziness and everything. Sweet guy. Sweet, sweet man. Thank you for Norman Steinberg. Loved any of my favorite year stories. We got it. Jeffrey Grant writes,

Mini-Me was based on Nelson de la Rosa's character. I think it's the same actor. Is that the same name you just said? Is it the same guy that played Wang Wang? No, let me look him up now. Nelson de la Rosa's character in 1996, Island of Dr. Moreau with Marlon Brando. There you go.

So that was Wing Wing? It's in the Twitter. Or Wang Wang? Was it the same guy or was it a different guy? No, Wang Wing was a different one. Damn it. Oh. But thank whoever that was.

That was Jeffrey Grant. Help me out of the jam here. Yeah, thank you, Jeffrey, for solving that problem. Look up Brando's mini-me in Moreau. And that's what we're going to... Let me see. One more tweet. Let's see what I got.

Round and around goes the wheel. Hey, you know who was one of my favorite midget actors? Who's that? James Dunn. Oh, you mean Michael Dunn. Michael Dunn. From Wild Wild West. Michael Dunn. Yeah, he's gone.

Yeah, he was in that. And he was also in Ship of Fools. Yep, he was. He was. I think Lou is a no, she's in she's in Voyage of the Damned. I was gonna say Lee Grant's in Ship of Fools. Let's see. There's an old actress in it. I forget. Was it Vivian Leigh? I think she's in Ship of Fools. Yeah. Yeah, I'm trying to get them right. I know Ustinov's in one of them. Last tweet of the day, and I'm looking for a good one.

I love that somebody took a picture of your face squinting as a Squatty Potty ad. They made their own Squatty Potty ad. Loved my favorite year, says Heidi May. And... You know, I remember, a vivid memory. They sent me a copy for an ad for Squatty Potty, and I was recording it by the table, and you were there.

Oh, that was when we were having, yeah. Yes. That was early on. Yeah. It was in your apartment. Yeah, and you fell onto the kitchen floor. I did. And were rolling around.

I was laughing for, because here, read on that. That was the old Squatty Potty copy. Yes. I was, that, I laughed, maybe me laughing during the Steve Cox episode. Oh, oh my God.
