That's the sound of unaged whiskey transforming into Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey in Lynchburg, Tennessee. Around 1860, Nearest Green taught Jack Daniel how to filter whiskey through charcoal for a smoother taste, one drop at a time. This is one of many sounds in Tennessee with a story to tell. To hear them in person, plan your trip at tnvacation.com. Tennessee sounds perfect. Shh. If they hear you, they want you. Run.

Hi! It's Gilbert Gottfried and this is Gilbert and Frank's Amazing Colossal Obsessions. I'm talking, of course, about Frank Santopadre. And this is our year-end mini-ep. I'm exhausted already. Yes. You want to introduce who's in the room?

Okay. There's... This is a quiz. Dara Gottfried, no relation. And there's... Welcome, Dara. Frank Verderosa. Frank's here.

Hello. And our trusted researcher. See if Gilbert can do it. Paul Raper. Nice! Yeah. And is that what he is? Trusted researcher. See if Gilbert can do it. Paul Raper. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. And is that what he is? He's the researcher.

Among other things. Oh, gee. Okay. Among other things. Okay. Great socks, Paul. Thank you. I appreciate that.

You don't do much good on a podcast, though. Now, we should thank two people. We should thank. You want to thank this artist, Catherine. Okay. So it's Catherine Laval. She drew a picture of me and gave it to me at one of the clubs after I performed of me and Lon Chaney Jr. I think in a scene from House of Frankenstein. Sounds right. And then now she just sent me another picture of me like chewing on a weed like Burgess Meredith and next to Lon Chaney Jr. as Lenny. It's great.

We'll put it up on social media. She's gifted. Oh, very. She's talented. Yes, very much so. And I want to thank Mikey Anastasio who sent me

a picture of a naked girl changing a light bulb. That is magic. Merry Christmas, Gil. It's kind of like a Christmas tree. God bless us, everyone. That's the highlight of the year. Yes. Anastasio sounds like it's one of like a Christmas tree. God bless us, everyone. That's the highlight of the year. Anastasio sounds like it's one of mine.

You may have to apologize to Italian-Americans. Do I need to start changing light bulbs without my clothes on? No, I already do that. Tara just asked if she would like Gilbert to do that in the house. That falls under the heading of incidental nudity. Oh, yes. What if she installed some molding? Would that be okay?

I don't know whether it changes the light bulbs. Yes. Gilbert's not handy around the house, Tara? I just bought those ones that are supposed to last 22 years. So I didn't have to worry about it. Will he last 22 years? I won't last until the end of this episode.

And who else did we want to thank? Frankie, an old friend of yours sent us. Yeah, well, Neal Schuster, who I guess owns and runs Scott and Ivy's Chocolate Factory,

sent a giant box of dipped Oreos that have the Nutmeg logo and a couple of different versions, Gilbert's face, a drawing from Drew Friedman, other photos, the podcast logo, and they're amazing. You guys ate them and saw them. Yeah. I was pretty blown away.

So thank you. And what's the name of their company, Scott and Ivy's Chocolate? Scott and Ivy's Chocolate Factory. Thank you. How did she say her name? Neela Schuster. Thank you, Neela. Old high school friend, and she's awesome. We were all very surprised to see that. Dara was thrilled to see her family immortalized on an Oreo. And then eaten by Gilbert. And then consumed by Gilbert immediately afterward. We want to thank Mario, too. Mario Cantone. Oh, yes. Just for coming here and working his ass off.

And on the mini episode and the full episode. Oh, that was a lot of fun. We have been deluged with social media, with posts, and with tweets. And people loved you guys doing Baby It's Cold Outside. Oh, yes. With the post-stroke Betty Davis. He did the post-stroke Betty Davis. I did Tony Curtis. People said you sounded like Bernie Sanders. outside oh yes the post-stroke betty davis he did the post-stroke betty davis i did tony curtis

people said you sounded like bernie sanders that's that's what i was gonna say yeah well yeah there were a couple of people who thought oh he's doing bernie sanders could you could you distinguish for us maybe the difference, the finer points between Tony Curtis and... Okay. Hi, I'm Tony Curtis. Hi, I'm Bernie Sanders. They're very different. Yeah, sure. All right. So we're going to read some tweets here for the end of the year.

A lot of them are about Mario's episode, all kinds of different things. Oh, I also want to thank all these people who've done Photoshop through the years. Oh, yes. Through the year, through 2016. There's another one. This is the second one of you

as Buddy Hackett on your deathbed. Oh, yes. Drinking the malted. This is the second person who's done this. Really fantastic. Steve Hanna. We have to thank all the people who do this this. Really fantastic. Steve Hanna, we have to thank. All the people who do this art that just continues to amaze me that people do this stuff and have the time to send us art and bring us things and shows.

Who is it who put up a clip of Paul Lynn singing, but they dubbed in my voice. Yeah, we have to... Kids! Yeah, that was great. Oh, the Bye Bye Birdies song. Oh, yes. Whoever that is, whichever listener that was,

please let us know. Identify yourself. That was great. I'm constantly impressed by the great lengths the fans go to putting these things together. Yeah, it's nice. Very nice.

It means a lot, I's nice. Very nice. It means a lot, I think. It really does. And I went to see Mario last night at the cutting room, and he honored us by doing Betty Davis, post-stroke Betty Davis, with his husband Jerry doing Baby It's Cold Outside. So here are a couple of tweets of various things. Mario, Shane Simon says, I am not worthy of this episode. Mario and

Gil need to do a singing tour. So you had said the Jew and the... The Jew and the fag. What do you think? Ken McKenna wants to know how many times has Gilbert paid homage to a strawberry milkshake as Buddy Hackett on the show?

Do we have a number? Someone out there's got to count them up. I haven't been keeping score. I'm sure. It's more than two. Let's see. Big Daddy wants us to know that PIX11 is exclusively airing the long-lost original Yule Log from 1966. Oh, my God.

This year, which will be fun. 50-year-old log. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Has anyone seen the replacement for the Yule Log that someone put up? No, what is it? It's the scene of Darth Vader burning from, like, one of the episodes. And they just looped it, and that's this year's Yule Log.

Codename Gary7 writes, Will Jordan, so professional, a great historian and teacher. He may have missed his calling. If so, I'm glad he did. Will Jordan episode, very popular. Oh, yeah. Episode. Yeah, he was a lot of fun, Will.

Buddy Spencer wants to know if Gilbert remembers the movie Dementia 13, which I think Francis Coppola made. Oh, yeah. And I don't remember it that way. Slasher movie with William Campbell. And do you know these actors? Are you afraid of death by drowning? Have you ever attempted suicide? Have you thought about committing murder?

These are some of the questions you will be asked in the unprecedented, not unprecedented, D13 test. You don't know this film? No. I remember it coming out. I remember that Coppola was the creator, but I don't even know if I've ever seen it. Gareth McKibben writes, hey, you guys say oranges, I say tangerines. What could that be?

I don't know. We should say he just asked, Gilbert just asked Burt Ward about the Cesar Romero story, and I wish you could have seen his face, folks. Yeah, Burt Ward looked like, I thought, oh, this could be the end of this interview. He's going to run out of the room.ip armstrong i feel like i'm preaching to the choir but how about john saxon oh my god yes yes yeah heard you heard you mentioned time tunnel and he was in that plus lots more uh lots of people talking about the betty davis and tony curtis did you and gilbert ken mckenna wants to know did you you guys ever see Batman vs. Gilligan's Island on Family Feud? No. With Vincent

Price. Did you guys know that existed? No. It's up there. Now, is Don Gordon still alive? I think he might be. Don Gordon, who everybody mistook for John Saxon. Yeah, I could never tell the two of them apart. We'll look for

Don Gordon. I'm sure he just died if we mentioned it. There's a lot of that going around. Dodd-Gordon, let me see. Look him up. Paul's going to look him up. Philip Armstrong also says, good afternoon. We were just watching The Searchers, and after a quick Google, Vera Miles is a good fit for the podcast.

Also from Psycho. Oh, okay. Still around. Wow. What do you think? Kevin Cunningham says, we watch a lot of Christmas movies with the kids.

Lemon Drop Kid and Holiday Inn is my favorite racist double feature. Dara, do you guys watch Christmas movies in the house? We watch racist films. We're quite fond of racist films. When it's holiday time. I would like to know how the Gottfrieds celebrate the holidays.

Well, first we watch Birth of a Nation. And then you watch Election Day 2016. Oh, my God. And then we get some films sent over by the Klan. God almighty. How are we doing on Don Gordon? I got it. So listeners may have figured out by now that Frank has a unique ability, rather spooky ability, to tell who is alive and who is not.

So here we go. Don Gordon. John Saxon's alive. I know that for a fact. Well, we're not talking about John Saxon. I think Don Gordon's with us. November 13th, he turned 90 years old. There we go.

Don Gordon is 90? 90. He just turned 90, but there's no rush. Yeah, yeah. Let's take our time. We will return to Gilbert Gottfried's amazing Colossal Podcast after this. This ad was expressly recorded to create a sense of simplicity. Just a few simple sounds.

No complexity. Hmm. Like neutral. sounds, no complexity. Like Neutral, made with just vodka, soda, and natural flavor. Neutral, refreshingly simple. We all have the power to shape the world. We're connected to the world we share, to each other. I am future. I wait in the world of Echo. Discover the extraordinary with Echo, the spectacular new show by Cirque du Soleil.

Now playing under the big top at Toronto Lakeshore Boulevard West. The world is yours to create. Tickets at CirqueDuSoleil.com. Echo thanks its presenting partners Sun Life and its official partners Air Canada and MasterCard. And now back to the show. We talked about Barry Gordon as the actor who was the singer in Nothing for Christmas when he was a boy. And he was in that Bobby Darin film. Pressure Point. Yeah, where he plays a young Bobby Darin.

And, oh, he's been in a bunch of things. Well, Nick O'Time tweets to say, I know Barry Gordon as an 80s Ninja Turtle. The man is so Jewish, he played a rabbi on Curb Your Enthusiasm. You do a Ninja Turtle voice, don't you? Oh, yeah. I'm the voice of Krang the Subprime.

Which we've recorded here a number of times. Yes. Have you done it here? Yes. With Andrea Romano directing, who I read a thing recently, she's retiring. I worked with Andrea Romano in LA. She's amazing. She's the best. After working with me. She said

this is it, I'm done. I can't do this anymore. No, she, you know, whenever you hear her voice down the line, you know it's going to be great. I worked with her on some Sylvester and Tweety cartoons that I wrote in LA, so it's a small world, isn't it? Norm Mailer writes,

I'm going back through the podcast I've missed. Lee Grant is my new favorite guest. Smart and funny. Oh, terrific. Wasn't that a highlight, Dara? Amazing.

And wasn't it great when we got off, she has one of those elevators that opens into her apartment and we cut off the elevator and she was waiting for us. She was so happy to have us there

and she was so gracious. Oh, God. A lovely, lovely woman. She wore jeans. Yeah, and she loved Gilbert. She just wanted to adopt him. Yeah. I'm not sure what that was about. Yeah, she was like grasping my arm as we were walking out to her.

Motion Worker writes, Hey, guys, can we make sure Gilbert visits a pizza store today? That's because I always say pizza store instead of pizzeria. Rest in peace, Buddy Spencer. Rest in peace, Bernard Fox. Dr. Bombay

died from Bewitched. And Dara mentioned that. Maybe other than Tabitha, the little girl who played Taritha, whose name was Erin Murphy, Bernard Fox would have been the last surviving cast member from Bewitched. They're all gone. Elizabeth Montgomery, both Darrens, Alice Ghostly's dead, Paul Lynn's dead. Talk about the curse of Bewitched.

Yeah. What about the curse of this show? Yeah. I'm kind of afraid being in here right now. I mean, Dick York, he had some kind of

like back disorder or something and he had to quit the show because he was in too much pain and then he lost everything. He had no money. He said at one point his kids went out and got bottles and cans out of the garbage that's sad to turn in for money and he

had something where he lost all his teeth and he was like uh he took a job cleaning people's houses. It was... Oh, and speaking of people passing, we really should talk for a minute about Alan. Oh, yeah, Alan Thicke. About our friend Alan Thicke, and you and Dara worked with him on Wife Swap. And, Dara, you posted something very touching about him. What did you call him, your fake husband? My fake husband. Yeah.

He was. Yeah. See, but he actually had sex with her that's the difference although tanya held out on you right yeah that and and i was a shock alan thick is one of those people i busted his ass so many times over the years which is unlike me none like you totally unlike you but he was one of those people who could take it and laughed along with it and had a great sense of humor. He did. About what his image was in the business. He did. Ambivalence, in fact, tweets, we are all expecting some kind

of Alan Thicke impressions by Gilbert on the next Colossal Obsession, so don't let us down he would be honored yes Gilbert was right right on with Dick York by the way. He died of emphysema. Yeah. Yeah. Way to bring the room down, Paul. Yeah, yeah. We were having too much fun at 63.

This is a holiday show. Oh, sorry. Yeah. No, Dick York. And Dick York, wasn't he in a very famous Twilight Zone episode? Oh, yes. Which one was that? Can you look that up?

While Paul looks that up, Bob Ducart says, so Betty Garrett was a hardcore communist. We talked about that. Irene Lorenzo from All in the Family. Yeah, that emerged in the Will Jordan episode. Do you remember? So I just have the name of the episode so far, The Purple Testament. A penny for your thoughts. Yep, that's the one.

I don't remember, what was that one? Tell us the plot. I don't have the plot. I think in that episode he's married to a witch. Nicely done. And he goes, Samantha. The story of a man who can forecast death. Yeah, yes, that's the one in the army

I think he and his wife were moving. Empty City Squares, that's our friend John Fodiatis, who says the Mario Cantone episode is right up there with the last 15 minutes of the Steve Cox episode. I think Gilbert knows what they're talking about.

John also says, I'm not sure what I love more, Mario Cantone's Liza on Ambien or Gilbert's Squatty Potty commercial. That's become, I get a lot of tweets about the Squatty Potty. I actually just saw one in person. The creative director here at Nutmeg, a guy named Dave Rogan, got one from his secret Santa. Oh my gosh. Are you serious? It's a Squatty Potty. We use them in our house.

We have them in both our bathrooms. I used the wrong one. I pooped on it. I didn't know how it worked. I'm glad you're using the products. I can't say I own a Squatty Potty. Shane Simon, I re-downloaded the One Hit Wonders episode and Gilbert singing Judy in the Sky with glasses. Oh, Judy in disguise with glasses is a life highlight.

Yeah. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da And a brand new car. Come to me tonight. Come to me tonight. Judy in disguise with glasses. Nice. Nicely done. No rehearsal? You just went right in and did that? Yeah, it's amazing. We get more Cesar Romero tweets than anybody.

I don't know why. It's just people. Someone, S. Cassidy, tweeted us a photo of Cesar in the Joker surfs up episode with a Joker holding a green. A green. Said he's ready to throw avocados. Oh, my God. Let's see. Mel Cicilla.

I hope I'm getting that name right. I played the Mario Cantone episode twice while driving across New Mexico just to laugh again. These people are obsessed. Frankie, you'll cut out the dead spots here, right? What? What? Then we won't have a show at all.

Two minutes. Post-stroke Betty Davis, hilarious. Beautifully composed. Someone, Screen Themes, is tweeting about the TCM. Did you see the TCM video, the tribute to all the people who passed this year? It was rather touching. She writes a beautifully compiled tribute, so many sad losses this year. I'm going to use that to plug our upcoming In Memoriam episode, which will do uh very very soon uh by demand see i think sometimes the oscars really fuck it up and they'll have to do it well what they don't always

do it well do they yeah they'll do leave people out they still and also they get too artsy where the camera will pull back and show the entire stage in the audience. And you go, no, we want to see the person on screen. Put that person on the screen. Yeah. Well, I recommend everybody take a look for the ones TCM does. Turner Classic Movies are perfect. They're pitch perfect.

It's always the right piece of music. They include everybody. They take their time with it. I thought oscars this past one did it right yeah because they just had each person on screen they didn't pull back and get artsy or anything like that craig peters writes holy shit i'm going back through the catalog. Tony Orlando episode is fucking epic. My favorite. That was your favorite episode, Tony Orlando. I loved Tony Orlando.

Wasn't he sweet? Didn't he just fill this room? I got a call from him recently. What did he want? What did he? He left me a message. I saved it on my voicemail. Really?

Yeah. He said just how much he loves us and how much he loved the show and how much he'd love to come back i think we got to have him back it was time and he's just genuinely just such such such a nice guy he apparently got over the bad moment when gilbert sang two or three verses of tie a yellow ribbon and he finally said would you let me sing so let me sing he called my parents so that gave me serious credit that That was another thrill. He got on the phone with your parents and Gilbert's sister. Oh, yes.

Yeah. Yes. Yeah. What a sweet man. What is your favorite episode, Frank, of the year, of 2016? There are too many, but— You love that Dr. Katz thing. Dr. Katz makes me let that whole losing it moment.

Because there's just something about his rhythm and his his setups that just i die but i've always been a fan yeah that was a great one and then certainly you know bob einstein ripping everyone apart was pretty great oh wasn't that just magical yeah we got to have both those guys back together bob einstein and dr katz oh and paul you liked the Dominic episode. He's sitting right in that chair serenading us. Such another nice guy. Who says actors and comedians aren't nice?

So many of the people we met. People who meet Gilbert. Yeah, exactly. But Dominic Chiesi made me cry in much the same way that Gilbert often makes me cry. Well, I got to tell you. When either one of us sings. A friend of ours who plays in Dominic Chiesi's band when the band is performing said they're talking about getting everyone together again for shows. So we'll have to all go see him play.

Yeah. He's the sweetest man. Spalding writes, just finished up all your episodes of Real Gilbert. Somebody went through every episode. 134 we're up to? Some crazy number? It's hard to pick a favorite, but I sure hope Pat Cooper is on again. Oh, Pat Cooper was great.

If his heart can stand it, we'll bring Pat back to rant some more. Maybe a quick mention to Peter Gatt posted a little picture, a poster of Zsa Zsa Gabor from Queen of Outer Space. We lost Zsa Zsa. Oh, that's right. Yeah, 99. How many of her eight husbands survived her? Was she married eight times?

I think so. I think she was married to a Hilton. Yep, Conrad Hilton. Was she married to Conrad Hilton? Yep. Tim Maples writes, Mario Cantone is the best gift you could give your fans. Merry Christmas to all involved. That was, I tell you, he brought it.

He always does. I can't watch Rudolph anymore, though. It's going to change me. Well, yeah. This big daddy's writing here, I will never look at Comet the same way again. He is the evil gym teacher. A highlight was you guys singing the Island of Misfit Toys. Oh, yes.

And you surprised me. You know the lyrics. They just come out of you. Big Daddy also says, he's producer of the month, so we're giving him a lot of airtime here. Matthau as the boss elf and Brando as Hermie. I snorted my morning coffee. That was fun. You guys together.

Do you or Gil remember a million-dollar movie that had nearly full frontal stripping, a stripper, stripping out of a bear or gorilla suit? That doesn't fall into your category. Although I could get into it. I am starting to get an erection.

That's casual animal nudity. Yes, yes. Do you want to plug anything? This is going to air when? I'd like to plug Scarlett Johansson. We've established that in previous episodes. Any upcoming dates? Yeah, Zany's in Nashville.
