Starting point is 00:00:00 Here we go boys. One, two, three, four. Gilbert and Frank, colossal obsessions! Hi, this is... Hi, yes, hello. Hi, this is Gilbert Gottfried and I'm here with my co-host Frank Santopadre. That's me. And I think we might still be at Nutmeg.
Starting point is 00:00:31 Are we still at Nutmeg? Yeah, I don't know. You're drilling. I don't know. The reality is, by the time this airs, the place we are sitting in now will be nothing but a cement floor and open space. You really want people to know that? Well, it'll be done by then. Yeah. Right?
Starting point is 00:00:49 This is four weeks out from when we're recording it. Yep. But there's a very good chance we will be in a new place. That is the plan. But we don't know. But we'll provide details as they come. We sure will. We can talk about it on the next episode.
Starting point is 00:01:02 And once again, our engineer who recently was found with his head in the oven and his apartment is in his Jersey apartment. He's got a home. He's got a beautiful home. He doesn't have an apartment. My head was in the oven, but I was heating up pizza. Don't get confused. He killed himself while heating up a pizza.
Starting point is 00:01:26 He likes to get a good look at it as it bubbles. Couldn't quite tell if the middle was done. And he died. Frank Verterosa. With his face buried in like a St. What's the name of one of those famous? The Celentano pizzas? Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Yeah. Yeah. He was buried there in a pepperoni. Elio's. Elio's. Which makes this a very sad episode, actually. And... I think Frank's taking it very well. That, of course, is the voice of blues singer
Starting point is 00:01:57 old black origami-less What? Raybone. What? He was captured by the Japanese in World War II. And he was tortured
Starting point is 00:02:13 so he refuses to learn origami. Suddenly you're a black blues man and you're in Bridge on the River quite. I was tortured. Do you ever mind if your comments about Japan led you last time? That's right, Gilbert. Can you please play the Colonel So-and-So Waltz?
Starting point is 00:02:33 Colonel Boogie Waltz. Yeah, the Japanese actually destroyed my origami. It was in their hands. It was actually a Japanese torture tactic where they would unfold your origami in front of you after you labored over it so hard. Gilbert has turned into a surrealist in recent weeks. You started out as earless, armless, legless, boneless.
Starting point is 00:02:59 His kids call him Dada. Suddenly he's origami-less. What was the last one? He's flypaper-less. Flypaper-less. That doesn't make any sense. It does raise a question. Can you make origami out of flypaper?
Starting point is 00:03:15 That's interesting. We should invite our listeners. You stick with it. It's fascinating. That's like a joke Gilbert would tweet and apologize for. I apologize to flies. Yes. We should invite our listeners to...
Starting point is 00:03:28 But that fly joke I'm leaving open. Very good. We should invite our listeners to post what Paul is missing. I wish somebody would make a list. Because now we're up to... Aside from talent and intelligence. That's too obvious. Poor Paul.
Starting point is 00:03:54 I just come in and collect my paycheck. That's it. What's a paycheck? That was the ghost of Frank Frank Verarosa pizza store is delicious
Starting point is 00:04:09 proud hanging in the homeless shelter in Jersey he's got a home he just doesn't have an office at the moment let's see more on that later more on that later this is something that i found
Starting point is 00:04:28 uh i thought this would be a fun idea for an episode and we don't talk about the listener society enough yes on this show we do a lot of twitter uh but this is uh this is from our friends uh uh eric fusco and rob smentech and Peter Santamaria run the wonderful Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Listener Society. Oh. I don't mind giving them a plug and thanking them. Yeah, thank you. And we'll have them in here for a mini episode in the fall.
Starting point is 00:04:54 We've been promising to do that for a long time. We have to do. Well, Nutmeg will be gone by then. Yeah, we'll have them somewhere else. Don't want them messing up the place in the fall. We'll have them out on the street. And we'll have a little mini tape recorder. We're going to record these live in Bryant Park.
Starting point is 00:05:10 That's fine. That's fine. But this was a post by a listener named David Phillips. And he said, how many ways can we link Gilbert to Kevin Bacon in six degrees? Oh, it's easy. It's easy. I have two direct links. Okay, let's hear it
Starting point is 00:05:27 because they might be here. Both of them are in diner. I worked with Paul Reiser both in Beverly Hills Cop 2 and also The Aristocrats. So Paul Reiser and Paul Reiser was in diner with Kevin Bacon bacon that's one
Starting point is 00:05:46 i worked on a movie i worked on a movie called bad medicine yes tony sandoval yes with steve gutenberg steve gutenberg was in diner with uh kevin bay now was that considered one degree do you understand this game paul is that would that be one that considered one degree? Do you understand this game, Paul? Would that be one degree? I have two. You, Gutenberg, and then Bacon. I have two. Yeah, I have two ones. So that's right.
Starting point is 00:06:11 You and Gutenberg would be one degree. Yeah, that's two degrees. You and Gutenberg. That's two degrees. Yeah, two separate. Right. Yeah. That's two degrees.
Starting point is 00:06:19 That's two degrees? Yeah, because if you were in a movie with Kevin Bacon. Oh, that would be one degree. That's one. Okay, so two separate two degrees. Yeah, because if you were in a movie with Kevin Bacon... Oh, that would be one degree. That's one. Okay, so two separate two degrees. Very good, and you've thought about this. And he sat also in the very chair you're in in that booth to record as well.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Kevin Bacon did? Kevin Bacon did. Okay, so we're sharing... Which by the time this airs will be a pile of dust in the mouth for the morning. You're taking it so well, Frank. Wow, he is handling it well. A listener named Dan Rowena Gilbert was right on that one. Gilbert was in Bad Medicine with Steve Guttenberg, who was in Diner with Kevin Bacon.
Starting point is 00:06:54 That's right. He got that. I don't think anybody got the Paul Reiser one, but a lot of people posted variations connecting you to Kevin Bacon. And this is the kind of thing that I read in bed at 2 o'clock in the morning. Oh, yes. While my wife is asleep. This is a good one. This is from David Phillips who posted it.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Problem child with John Ritter. John Ritter was in Sling Blade with JT Walsh. JT Walsh was in The Big Picture with Kevin Bacon. Oh, okay. So there's a good one. Okay, that is a good one. Yeah. It's a much more roundabout way than Gilbert.
Starting point is 00:07:29 It's a roundabout way, and then they get more and more interesting and more roundabout as they go. Henry Eisenberg. Gilbert was in Ford Fairlane with Robert Englund. Yes. You know that actor, right? Everybody knows Freddy Krueger. Englund was in Elm's Nightmare on Elm Street with Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp was in Sleepy Hollow with Christopher Walken.

Okay, can we... Oh, I just watched the remake of Flatliners on TV. And it was like the whole movie was like all of them experienced. They realized they did something bad. And if you apologize for doing something bad, it's okay.
Starting point is 00:09:56 I've never seen Flatliners. I've always been curious about it. Now, how about connecting me with some like old movie star? Funny you should ask. Gilbert? Yes. And let's see if I could get it. Really?
Starting point is 00:10:10 It would take you a while. Let me get through a couple of these quick, and then I'll do that. And I want to apologize to Bill Knowles, because he has your Paul Reiser one right here. Oh, okay. Beverly Hills Cop, Paul Knowles. But let me read a couple of these, and then we'll do a couple of older actors. But I want to take into account the work and the effort people put into these. Yeah. cop Paul Knowles, but let me read a couple of these and then we'll do a couple of older actors, but I want to take into account the work

And people even tried to go through the podcast. Former guest Clint Howard was in Apollo 13 with Kevin Bacon one step, but I don't think the podcast counts.
Starting point is 00:12:00 So you asked me about doing... Yeah, pick some like old movie star and I'll try to guess. You mean someone like Lon Chaney Jr.? Lon Chaney Jr. Okay. I was on Think of the Night with Vincent Price. Yeah, I don't think TV counts.
Starting point is 00:12:17 Oh, it doesn't count? No, it's got to be feature films. Got to be feature? Oh, I didn't know that. Them's the rules of the game. Yeah. Okay. Got to be feature films.
Starting point is 00:12:25 You can make this work. You're impressive. Yes, yes, yes. Okay, Lon Chaney Jr. Let's see. Oh, he's in High Noon. He's in High Noon, yeah. Okay, I've never worked with any of the Bridges boys.

Starting point is 00:13:02 we can't include the Vincent Price on TV? No. If you want to do it, go ahead. Yeah, fuck it, I'll do it. And then he was in the Haunted Palace with Lon Chaney Jr. Okay, but if you want to count TV. I actually broke you down to Lon Chaney Jr. using features only.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Okay, but let's see. Features only? Yeah. This will take some doing. Yeah, okay. But I got it down to four steps. Ooh. Okay. But let's see. Features only. Yeah. This will take some doing. Yeah. But I got it down to four steps. Oh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Enticing, eh? Oh, very excellent. This kind of research is Paul Rayburn's worst nightmare, by the way. Excellent. This took hours. Okay, let's hear it. On IMDb. Lon Chaney Jr. is in The Defiant Ones.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Oh. Did you know that? Oh, no. With Tony Curtis and Sid Did you know that? Oh, no. With Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier? Oh, yeah, of course. He's Big Sam. He's Big Sam. He's Big Sam.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Nice. With Sidney Poitier. And you know something? If we ever get Sidney Poitier, I could ask him about Lon Chaney Jr. Yeah, I know. He plays Big Sam. There you go. And he's the one who helps them escape.
Starting point is 00:14:08 That's right. Yeah. Lon Chaney Jr. is in The Defiant Ones with Sidney Poitier. Because I started to say no, and then I jumped. I said, no, he was Big Sam. That's correct. What the fuck is the matter with him? So you know every Lon Chaney Jr. performance.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Absolutely. Okay, Poitier is in a movie called Sneakers, a heist movie with Robert Redford. You know this movie? No. And Ben Kingsley.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Okay, and I was in Schindler's List. Yes, you were in Schindler's List. I played third Jew to the left. That's not it. You don't know the movie Sneakers with Dan Aykroyd and Robert Redford?
Starting point is 00:14:50 Phil Alden Robinson movie? Good heist movie. Okay, quickly. Poitier from The Defiant Ones with Lon Chaney Jr. is in Sneakers with Ben Kingsley. Ben Kingsley is in Schindler's List. Yes. You're not. But Liam Neeson is.
Starting point is 00:15:03 And? Liam Neeson.. And Liam Neeson. Wait, wait, wait. Oh, fuck. He's in. A million ways to die in the West. Oh.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Oh, my God. Oh, that one's great. Four steps to Lon Chaney Jr. So, Lon Chaney Jr. and the Defiant Ones with Sidney Poitier. I'm sure there's another way, but that's the one I found. Sidney Poitier is in Sneakers with Ben Kingsley, who was in Schindler's List with Liam Neeson. And you. Liam Neeson, of course.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Now, if only I was the kind of person that had the time and the inclination to connect you to Danny Thomas. Oh, I'm sure there must be a pretty direct one there. Maybe. It doesn't involve a table. I think we had the same proctology. Does that count? We both dealt with the same salesman at Ethan Allen. I'm not counting that.
Starting point is 00:16:23 I'm not counting that. We both bought Windex at the same supermarket. Oh, my God. Oh, God. I'm never going to get through this. You know. Yes? I'm going to give you the challenge.
Starting point is 00:16:45 We won't do it here Because time doesn't permit But I'll let But I'll give you And you can't cheat You have to get Lon Chaney Jr. To you Not using the path I used
Starting point is 00:16:53 Yes But it's your favorite actor So I had to do that Yes But maybe you can do it Because you know Every film you've been in Yes
Starting point is 00:16:59 And you know Every film he's been in Yes So maybe you can Put it together Oh yeah And bring it back On a future show.
Starting point is 00:17:05 That's your homework assignment. Let's talk about Danny Thomas. Anything in particular? I did not connect you. I did not connect you to George Maharis, but somebody else did. Can you use a table to connect people? Well, Danny Thomas did not exactly have a big feature career. No.
Starting point is 00:17:26 He's in a jazz singer remake. That's right. I didn't use that one. I found a movie from 1964 called Looking for Love. Which was sponsored by Hoffman Coos. Fine people.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Oh, no one's going to get these references. Danny Thomas was in a movie called Looking for Love in 1964. And what's the plot of that movie? I don't have the plot handy. Well, maybe Ray Bone can look it up. Looking for Love, 1964. But the plot is less important.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Or the plop was more important. The plop. In that movie is George Hamilton. Oh. George Hamilton is in Godfather 3, Gilbert. With Diane Keaton. Oh, my goodness. Diane Keaton is in Annie Hall.
Starting point is 00:18:26 She sure is. She won the Oscar for it. With Christopher Walken. Oh. Who plays her brother, Dwayne. Yes. Christopher Walken is in Pulp Fiction with John Travolta.
Starting point is 00:18:37 Ah. And John Travolta is in... Oh. Oh. Look who's talking too. With who? Gilbert Gottfried. That, my friend, is six steps.
Starting point is 00:18:51 But it counts. Yeah. I got it in under the wire. Danny Thomas, George Hamilton, Diane Keaton, Christopher Walken, John Travolta, and you. So how many is that? One, two, three. One, two, three, four, five, six. That's six. You are six
Starting point is 00:19:08 degrees from Danny Thomas. See, now if we can include this podcast. Well, the podcast, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But it's it might be too easy. You sort of have to play by the rules of the game. Oh, yeah. Because if we included the podcast, Lon Chaney Jr. was in a Monkees episode. There you go.
Starting point is 00:19:30 Right. So you go right to Dolan's. Yeah. Right. To you. Or Nesmith. Right. That's right.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Or Nesmith. Yeah. We will return to Gilbert Gottfried's amazing colossal podcast after this. Okay. What did we find, Paul? Looking for love. A singer, Connie Francis, sees the man Jim Hutton she wants. Jim Hutton, the late Jim Hutton.
Starting point is 00:19:54 The man she wants, but winds up swapping boyfriends with her roommate, Susan Oliver. Johnny Carson plays himself. Oh, Johnny Carson is in that. Oh, good. Yeah, I didn't use him because he didn't really have a feature career. No, Joby Baker, Susan Oliver. Joby Baker from Bill Persky's Good Morning World. Jesse White, Barbara Nichols.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Yeah, I could have used Jesse White. And Johnny Carson, though, was offered King of Comedy. He was. Yep, he turned it down. That would have been interesting. Okay, I got two more for you. This is Gilbert Gottfried connected to
Starting point is 00:20:28 Cesar Romero. We can see that one coming. See that one coming? See that one coming. Am I that predictable? I acted with that woman, Tropic Anna, who's on the cover.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Oh, did you? Yes. I didn't realize that. I learned so much on this show. This one's an easy one. Five steps. You care to take a whack at it? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Okay. I take a whack at it every night. Okay. You want to go? You want to try it? Yes, yes. Okay, go ahead. Of which?
Starting point is 00:21:05 Cesar Romero. Cesar Romero. Cesar Romero. Oh. How are you going to do this without IMDb in front of you? Oh, God, yeah, yeah. I usually like- The way Paul does. See, now, Cesar Romero, let's see what movies he was in, actually.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Well, I'll give you a hint. I'll start you off. He's in the Batman movie from 1966. Okay, yeah. The quickie feature that they made. Okay. So who else is in that? quickie feature that they made. Okay. So who else is in that? Okay, well, Frank Orshin. Yes. Not a man with a big feature career either.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Burgess Meredith. You're warm. Let's see if you can piece this one together. Oh, wait a second! Wait a second! Burgess Meredith who was in Rocky. Yes. With Sylvester Stallone.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Yes. Who was in Animal Crackers with me. There you go. Yes. I also... Go ahead. Did Animal Crackers come out? No.
Starting point is 00:22:00 I saw them on my Twitter account saying, can anyone mention that you'd like it to be released? Is that the one Ian McKellen's in? Yeah. All those people. We recorded in this booth Gilbert, Wallace Shawn. I told you that whole story. Danny DeVito. Danny DeVito was here.
Starting point is 00:22:16 In fact, you guys had an encounter that day. How'd that go? We had an episode one of those nights where they were taking so long, Dara had to come in and raise hell. Like, we have a guest coming in. Get out. Yes, yes. And I'm like, everyone's in that movie. How is it not released with all those stars?
Starting point is 00:22:35 I'll tell you why. My understanding is it's an independently produced and done film. Right. In fact, I just worked with the director recently on another project. In fact, I just worked with the director recently on another project. So when you got the world of Pixar and you've got DreamWorks and all these feature companies, how do you deliver a movie like this to get the stage that they've got for their movies? I think it's just a really hard thing.
Starting point is 00:23:00 But he's doing it on his own, is my understanding. I could be totally wrong. Is it animated? It's animated. It's animated. It's really well done. And it's got a sweet story and an all-star cast. And Gilbert plays Mario Zucchini. Yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:23:09 We established when we were talking to Doug Benson. We worked a lot on that and I've heard nothing. Yeah. All right. So how did you get Cesar Romero to you again? You did Cesar Romero and Batman with Burgess Meredith. With Burgess Meredith. It was in Rocky.
Starting point is 00:23:24 With Rocky. With Sylvester. Was in Rocky. With Rocky and, yeah. With Sylvester Stallone. Yeah. Yeah. I would have also accepted the Sylvester Stallone in Copland with Robert De Niro and with you in The Comedian. Oh, uh, oh, oh my God. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:38 How about that? That's four steps. Uh, you bested me because I did it in five. Here's what I got. Cesar Romero in the Batman movie. Yeah. With Burgess Meredith. That's what I got. Cesar Romero in the Batman movie. Yeah. With Burgess Meredith. That's the easiest way out of that.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Although Adam West was in features. Burgess Meredith and a former podcast guest, Chevy Chase. Ooh. In Foul Play. Oh, okay. And then I just had to get you to Chevy. Yeah. So I went to Caddyshack.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Chevy and Rodney in Caddyshack. And Rodney and you in? Yeah, in two movies. In Wally Sparks? Meet Wally Sparks and Back by Midnight. There you go. Paul, what do you have to say about this? Impressive. Very impressive.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Well, you know, there's so many ways in. There's so many ways to do it. And finally, Gilbert, this will make you most excited of all. I connected you to Scarlett Johansson. Oh! Yes! Oh, yeah! You want to take
Starting point is 00:24:36 a whack at it yourself? I'm going to take a whack at it right now. Forgive my choice of words. Scarlett Johansson? Not. Scarlett Johansson. Not the Scarlett Johansson robot. I'm going to need actual Scarlett Johansson.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Well, I never worked with Natalie Portman, who I'd like to take a whack at. Natalie Hirschlog? Hirschlog. Nice Jewish girl. Wait, wait. She didn't work with Natalie. I don't think so. No, I'm confusing her with Mila Kunis.
Starting point is 00:25:08 She worked with her in your fantasies. And those are like the podcast. Those don't count either. Was Mila Kunis also in one of those? I'm thinking because both Natalie Portman
Starting point is 00:25:26 and Scarlett Johansson are both in the hot Jew piece of ass category. Mm-hmm. Okay. Wait a minute. Scarlett Johansson's Jewish? Yes.
Starting point is 00:25:36 I wish she Jewish. This whole episode just got me too'd, by the way. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Fine. Scarlett Johansson, Jew.
Starting point is 00:25:42 Okay. I believe you. I knew Natalie Hirschlog. Yeah. Well, with Hirschlog, what else are you going to be. Okay. I believe you. I knew Natalie Hirschlog. Yeah. Well, with Hirschlog, what else are you going to be? Okay. Here we go. Well, I mean.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Scarlett Johansson. Natalie Portman's like a lot kosher. Yeah. What if I gave you some Scarlett Johansson movies? Would that help? Yes. What if I said she's in We Bought a Zoo? Oh, Matt Damon.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Yes. Oh, wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Oh, Matt Damon. Yes. Oh, wait.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Wait. I'm so excited. His son in it is Colin Ford, who was in Jack and the Beanstalk with me. Who's Colin Ford? Isn't that his son in the movie? In? In, I bought a zoo. We bought a zoo? We bought a zoo.
Starting point is 00:26:22 I don't know. I'm pretty sure. See if Paul's done with the crossword and maybe he can look it up. You want to look up Colin Ford? Well, can I give you one I got on my screen here before I go to that? Scarlett Johansson. Scarlett's mother, Melanie Sloan, a producer, comes from an Ashkenazi Jewish family from Poland and Russia. See?
Starting point is 00:26:40 See? I thought with Johansson, she's Swedish or Finnish or Swiss. I'm not wrong about my hot juke piece of ass. How about that? Again, apologies to the Me Too movement. What was the next one you wanted me to look for? Might as well. I say in I Bought a Zoo.
Starting point is 00:26:56 We Bought a Zoo. We Bought a Zoo. The son is Colin Ford. And I think Colin Ford is the little boy who is in Jack and the Beanstalk. Okay, let's see if that works because I've got one here. What's her name? Chloe Grace Moretz. Oh, Chloe Grace Moretz.
Starting point is 00:27:17 Colin Ford is in We Bought a Zoo. And then if I go to Colin Ford. I never heard of Colin Ford. He's a child actor? Yeah, child actor. Appeared as Joe McAllister in Under the Dome. What are we looking for now? Go back a few years.
Starting point is 00:27:30 Yeah. And look for Jack and the Beanstalk. Nice work, Gottfried. Yes. That's pretty obscure. That's, yeah. Here's the way I went. Scarlett Johansson, it's a very simple one,
Starting point is 00:27:43 in Lost in Translation with Bill Murray, and Bill Murray's in Scrooged with Bobcat. Oh, and then... Bobcat and Ewan, hot to try. Hot to try. There you go. Colin Ford was in Jack and the Beanstalk in 1974. See?
Starting point is 00:28:01 Look at you. Look at that. So you beat me, because I did it in three and you did it in two. Oh, look at that. You son of a bitch. That's nice. And in my fantasies, I'm beating Scarlett Johansson.
Starting point is 00:28:15 I'd like to know more about this Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis, Natalie Hirschlog dream. Well, all three are Jews. Yeah. Yes. That's all I got.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Not that I turned down a shiksa. Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, by the way, for people who are interested in it, was created by four Albright College students, including a gentleman named Brian Tuttle, somewhere in the 90s. They claim to have invented the game that became known as Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Today we did Six Degrees of Gilbert Gottfried. After watching two movies
Starting point is 00:28:50 featuring Bacon back to back, Footloose and The Air Up There, and then they began to speculate about how many movies Bacon had been in and the number of people with whom he had worked. What was a great movie he did within the last few years,
Starting point is 00:29:04 last 10 years, something. He was a child molester. Stir of Echoes? The one where he's the... Oh, The Woodsman. The Woodsman. Yeah. He was great in that.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Then there's that weird movie where he's basically playing Jerry Lewis. Oh, well, that's based on Rupert's novel. Yes. Because you did that whole thing about when Rupert was here. Yes. You you did that whole thing about when Rupert was here. Yes. You kept trying to say that they were fucking each other.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Yes, yeah. The Jerry and Dean characters. That's called Where the Truth Lies. Yeah. And it was Kevin Bacon and Colin Firth. Yeah. And that was based on Howard's. I remember the movie in the 90s, maybe the early 2000s, where he turns invisible.
Starting point is 00:29:41 That's called The Hollow Man. That's right. Yeah, that was made by the guy that made Robocop. That that was really weird but there's a couple of scenes in there that would never fly in 2018 the yeah i like stir of echoes he rapes a girl yeah kind of yeah and and he i heard that in that movie you actually do see his dick in one point and someone said to him when they were editing it they said you know in this scene we see your penis and he said
Starting point is 00:30:12 well how does it look and they go good and he goes alright then you could keep it in the movie it was in the movie you could see it but it wasn't erect it was at about six degrees oh my hey yo it, but it wasn't erect. It was at about six degrees. Here's another way to connect you to Kevin Bacon, Gilbert.
Starting point is 00:30:33 You're in... I'll go the other way. Kevin Bacon is in X-Men Days of Future Past with Ian McKellen. Ian McKellen and you are in Animal... What the hell's the name of it? Animal Crackers. There you go.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Wow. That's pretty direct. And this is fun. Weird Al, our pal Weird Al, has a song called Lame Claim to Fame. And one of the lines in the song is, I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows Kevin Bacon,
Starting point is 00:31:00 which is kind of fun. And that's how that whole thing happened. So I'm going to give you, as whole thing happened so i'm gonna give you uh as a challenge i'm gonna give you some people yes i i bet we could even link you to silent stars like chaplain i i'm sure you could if we if we if we worked hard enough at it yeah to figure out how to do that chaplain i know he worked with brando and he worked well your easiest way in is he worked with uh i don't think he's in the Brando movie. No.
Starting point is 00:31:27 He's not in Accountants from Hong Kong. But I think, but Harold, who's still alive, the guy who turned us down, Norman Lloyd. Isn't Norman Lloyd in Limelight? Oh, yes, yes. I think he is. So you could go that way. And what has he done? Because Norman Lloyd's in, I think he's in the holiday with cameron diaz
Starting point is 00:31:46 you ever work with cameron diaz never worked with cameron diaz see if we can do one in real time oh okay oh i'm gonna need you for this okay i'm ready never never is norman lloyd in the holiday i think he is and i think that i know eli wallach's in it we just have to get a norman lloyd movie because he's in lim. We just have to get a Norman Lloyd movie because he's in Limelight and then we can connect you to Chaplin. You never worked with Kate Winslet or Jack Black. Well, no, but if he worked with Cameron Diaz...
Starting point is 00:32:20 I got it. Then we could go into Shrek and go to Eddie and then to Eddie. Oh. And then connect you. Oh, okay. How's that? Yeah. So this now hinges on whether Norman Lloyd was in.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Okay. I think I got the wrong movie. I think he's in In Her Shoes with Cameron Diaz. I'm sorry. What I'm looking for now is. Skip the holiday. Check out a movie called In Her shoes which is with cameron diaz and i believe tony collette because i think that's the norman lloyd movie and if that if that's it we
Starting point is 00:32:51 got it if you can't include tv because if you include a tv she was in uh mom mom mom mom charlie's angels with bill murray and bill mur Murray hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live. He tousled your hair. Oh, that's right. Tossled your hair. Yeah. Wherever the hell that word is pronounced. What do you got on in her shoes?
Starting point is 00:33:13 The movie is not coming up under Harold Lloyd. No, no, no. Norman. I'm sorry. I'm Norman Lloyd. No, I've got Norman Lloyd. Harold Lloyd's easy. Norman Lloyd is not in her shoes?
