Starting point is 00:00:00 That's the sound of unaged whiskey transforming into Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey in Lynchburg, Tennessee.

And our guest is Mario Cantone. Once again at Nutmeg with our engineer Frank Furtarosa. And our guest is Mario Cantone. We kept Mario around. He was here for a Christmas episode. Yes, which will be on the air very soon.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Yes. And we wanted to do a little mini episode about Christmas music. It's mini. It's mini. We do these little 15-minute jobs. What kind of a job? Tell me. What?
Starting point is 00:03:11 You know, I need to talk about my Christmas as Liza Minnelli. When I was six years old, I was in front of the fireplace waiting for Santa with a stack of cookies and a novel by Dostoevsky. I was reading this novel, and I fell asleep. And when I woke up, the cookies were gone. And I said, Santa came, and he ate the cookies. But then I remembered I took an Ambien, and I sleepied. Mama gave me the Ambien, I guess. That's so wrong. No, it's true.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Now, Christmas is very important to you, as we established in the last episode. It is. You grew up in Stonemass. Yeah, I did. What were your Christmases like? Well, we had a silver tree. It was a silver... Did you have a tree with a color wheel? No.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Because we had that. We had a color wheel for a while. Then my mother, like, got rid of it. But we never had a green tree and never had a real tree. It had a silver stick, and you plugged in the silver, like, looked like tinfoil that was all shredded. They were big then. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:15 I mean, and then red balls. It was the worst Christmas tree. Do you have Super 8 footage of this tree? Do you have evidence? I think I might have pictures of it. We had the color wheel growing up in Ozone Park in Queens. We had the silver foil tree, and there was a wheel with a light behind it with a single bulb. And there were four colors on the wheel.
Starting point is 00:04:33 And when the wheel turned, the tree turned different colors. Yes, absolutely. Is that what you meant? Really ghastly business. It turned orange and red and green and blue. Was it a silver tree? Silver foil tree. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Brutal. It was like tinsel, the tinsel material in tree form. And you couldn't use tinsel on the tree because it was already there. It would just disappear. Right. They were terrible. But, you know, I got what I wanted. I was a spoiled brat.
Starting point is 00:04:56 My mother never said I love you, but she would give me things. That's why. If you give me something, you love me. That's how fucked up I am. you give me something, you love me. That's how fucked up I am. But, you know, if I don't, but I remember, like, the big Walt Disney book, the Art of Walt Disney by Christopher Finch, it was like, the book was like. I know that book.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Oh, it's a huge book. It looked like one of the books at the beginning of the animation, you know, one of the animated movies that opened up. It was huge. That, the Disney films, I had Disney, I was the, I was Disney fag Friday. I was like, I loved it. I loved all that stuff. I had like ceramics and I got, please, I got, I got anything I wanted.
Starting point is 00:05:37 I was a brat. And we were just middle class. You know, we weren't rich. My father was a bookie and, and my mother was a bookie and a compulsive gambler. Wow. That's a good combo. But the Christmas was important to the cantones. Yeah, it was.
Starting point is 00:05:51 My mother would cook. But it was, she hated it. You know, and now that she's dead, I know, like, it's a project. Like, you know, you do the seven fishes every Christmas Eve. The big stuffed shrimp and the bacala and the bacala. What do they still do that, the seven fishes? I do it. I do it.
Starting point is 00:06:06 You do? You and Jerry? I carry on the tradition. That's nice. My husband, my African-American husband, makes all the seven fishes. He makes the baked stuffed shrimp. He makes the bakala. Wow.
Starting point is 00:06:16 The motherfucker makes bakala. Wow. My mother never made bakala. I'm coming over. My aunt did. Oh, he makes a great bakala. He does a great job. And then I'll do the desserts.
Starting point is 00:06:24 And then on Christmas, I make lasagna with gravy and meatballs. I do that. You know, that's what we do. And Thanksgiving, who the fuck wants turkey? We make lasagna shaped like turkey with a little rigatoni. I remember your bit about Thanksgiving with the uncle with the gnocchi ring. Yeah, he had the gnocchi ring. And he would, like, sip it.
Starting point is 00:06:42 They would always be watching, like, you know, it was before picture in a picture, so they had, like, you know, the orange bowl and the Super Bowl and your mother's bowl and the toilet bowl, every fucking bowl, because they were booking. They were all booking. Right, right, right. And I would hear my Uncle Philly, like, with the hand down the pants and the pinky ring would stay out because it was too fucking bulbous to fit in his pants. And he'd just be like, ah, Jesus Christ, they dropped the fucking ball.
Starting point is 00:07:05 I got money on this game. I don't know me. Oh, my God. And I'd be in the other room screaming like, shut up! I'm trying to watch The Wizard of Oz!
Starting point is 00:07:14 And I was. Gil, I've never asked you about this. Obviously, you didn't celebrate Christmas in the Gottfried household. What was Christmas like? Was it you just go to the movies day?
Starting point is 00:07:26 Chinese food? Well, you know, this is really weird. Because I've always wanted to know. I can't wait. Go ahead. I'm not surprised. This is very weird. All of us were Jews.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Well, that's the way it is in a family usually. Yeah. And somewhere along the way, we got one of those artificial Christmas trees. Oh, like the ones we're talking about. Yeah. Yeah. But you had a green one. You didn't have a silver one. It was it actually looked like a real tree. It was green. Well, no, it looked as phony as shit. OK, but we we like the idea of having a Christmas tree. You did. It was more festive than anything. You know, Gentile holidays are much happier and enjoyable than Jewish holidays where you've got to suffer even more. And so we actually had a Christmas tree that we would unfold the branches and put out every year.
Starting point is 00:08:24 That's fascinating. Yeah. I think that's... I never knew that. I think it's great because you probably loved it, right? Yeah. It was Christmas. You saw Christmas all around you.
Starting point is 00:08:34 At least you didn't feel like you couldn't have, you know, a colorful, happy holiday. And the thing is, it's like, I think if you ask most Gentiles what Christmas means, they would have a hard time explaining it. Oh, well, it means presents. Yeah, yeah. It means presents. We will return to Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast after this. For those who embrace the impossible, the Defender 110 is up for the adventure.

Starting point is 00:10:54 It is. I have it. I love the arrangements. I think it's like, it's really good. I really like it. That was a strange choice. She's like, Jingle bells,
Starting point is 00:11:04 Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. David Cassidy and Shirley Jones. Not the Phil Spector Christmas album. That's pretty wonderful. No, I love that too. And as crazy as she is, Mariah Carey's first one is magnificent. Now, Mariah
Starting point is 00:11:19 Carey's out of her mind, isn't she? She belongs in the nutty bin. Yes, I think she's crazy. She's just out now batshit crazy. I believe she is. I don't know this for a fact, but I've heard many things.
Starting point is 00:11:36 She's nutty. What? Go ahead. But her Christmas album's pretty amazing. What about traditional stuff growing up? Like Feliz Navidad? No. No?
Starting point is 00:11:49 No. No. I like the Barbra Streisand one when I was growing up. And of course, I love the Rankin-Bass stuff. I love, you know, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and I love Rudolph, and We're on the Island of Misfit Toys. I love all that shit. Gilbert impressed me by knowing the lyrics to We're on the Island of Misfit Toys. I love all that shit. Gilbert impressed me by knowing the lyrics to We're on the Island of Misfit Toys.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Yeah. We're on the island of misfit toys. There I do not, oh, there I don't want to stay. See, I don't even know that line. That's pretty good. It was impressive. And then it's, it's the most wonderful day of the year. When I was a kid, I was terrified of King Moon Racer.
Starting point is 00:12:27 King Moon Racer? It was just a flying lion. And he's a little gay, too, in it. Hey, I'm getting impatient. When do we get to the Bob Hope special? Oh! I forgot to mention it on the major episode, but I sent it to Mario. Oh, I watched it when he played Jack Frost?
Starting point is 00:12:44 Jack Frost. He was 106, when he plays Jack Frost? Jack Frost. He was 106, and they made him up with icicles. I swear to God, I don't think he knew his own name at that point. And what about the wife who looks like a Rankin-Bass couple? Oh, yes!
Starting point is 00:13:00 She looks like somebody carved her face. And they've got a bunch of kids dancing around to overcompensate for the fact that Bob Hope is living dead. And I'm going to tell you, there's nothing worse than children at Christmas. I can't bear them. I can't bear the children at Christmas. I hate child actors. That's Dolores, right?
Starting point is 00:13:26 That's her. She needed to sit this one out. Oh, yeah, the poor thing. She couldn't because Bob Hope was just a corpse on his feet. And I think, you know, they dress him up like Jack Frost with a pointed beard and pointed hat. And he's there like going, that's me. You can hear it now. And I think it was Dolores' revenge for all the times that Bob Hope fucked around on her.
Starting point is 00:14:01 With Marilyn Maxwell. Yeah. She wouldn't let him. She wouldn't give him. Right. She wouldn't give him the satisfaction of him dying. So she covered him in icicle makeup. Yes. And it looks like Rankin Bass designed his costume.
Starting point is 00:14:15 It's just gruesome. He looks like the Winter Warlock. I can't believe you'd never seen that. No. I had to send it to you. Oh my God. And she's even worse. And then there's children.
Starting point is 00:14:23 I can't. You know, I just went to Disney World and I'm resentful. Once I get there, I'm like, I'm going to have the greatest time. And then I see children
Starting point is 00:14:29 and I'm so resentful that they're here. It's like when I go see a Disney movie and there's a kid in front of me. I just, I always like lean forward
Starting point is 00:14:37 and whisper in their ear and I go, what are you doing here? Go home. You still have that great mosaic in your dining room with the Disney, with the tiles? Which one?
Starting point is 00:14:50 That's by an artist named Russell. That's great stuff. Yeah, it's Song of the South. In the middle of it it's all like all these riots during the Civil Rights Movement and the KKK. It's like it kind of juxtaposes the two things.
Starting point is 00:15:05 It's called Alabama Theater. It's a great piece. Gil, what Christmas song do you actually enjoy besides the Rankin-Bass ones that you've – Wow. Do you like Bing's White Christmas? Do you like David Bowie and Bing doing the Little Drummer Boy together? Oh, geez. Any of those?
Starting point is 00:15:28 How about Holly Jolly Christmas? Also from... Have a holly jolly Christmas. Burl Ives who named names, by the way. It's the best time of the year. That's what they say. Oh, by golly, have a holly jolly Christmas this year. I think if Michael McDonald or the Doobie Brothers, if they ever remade Rudolph, Sam the Snowman in live action should be Michael McDonald.
Starting point is 00:15:49 Wow. Have a holy, jolly Christmas. It's the best time of the year. I don't know what you went to, but have a cup of tea. Have a holy, jolly Christmas. And when you walk down the street Yeah, that's my microphone. I'm going to dial up a couple that I had Frank load up

Starting point is 00:16:49 See, this just shows. I always bring up this song. Yeah. This to me shows, even back then, what they could do to singers. They could take a singer and change it. They can make a dog's barking sound like Jingle Bell. They could. They could, and they did.
Starting point is 00:17:10 It was made in the 50s, but popular in the 70s. Really? Yeah. And this was before, like, autotune. It was before autotune. I was going to say that. So what's the next one? All right, Frankie, what's the second one?

Starting point is 00:28:31 I really better scurry. Beautiful, please don't hurry. Well, maybe just a half a drink more. Put some rickets on while I pour. The neighbors might think. Baby, it's cold outside. Say, what is in this drink? No caves to be had out there. I wish I knew
Starting point is 00:28:50 how. Your eyes are like starlight now. Don't break this spell. I'll take your hat. Your hair looks swell. I ought to say no, no, no, no. Mind if I move closer? Please, I'm going to say I try. What's the sense of hurting my pride?

Starting point is 00:30:15 At least they'll be letting you fly. Think of my lifelong sorrow. I really can't stay. If you caught pneumonia and died. But baby, it's cold! Get all the nails out! Baby, it's cold outside! Oh, my, you were ten lines behind.
Starting point is 00:30:33 Totally and utterly unprofessional. It was like working with Faye Dunaway again. Oh, shut up, you fucking bitch. Oh, you are too... Don't you dare call me a bitch! bitch. Oh, you are don't you dare call me a bitch. Half of your face is paralyzed.
