You got Halloween and Walt Flanagan's birthday inside of almost a week. It's great, right?

That's true. Walt, calm down. I know you love Halloween, but you haven't even looked up once. What's going on? I'm just, are you sad because the Halloween the day of Halloween is the best on the worst because when it ends you are no you could not be further away from the next Halloween. Right. After Halloween, you have three or 64 days to wait for it again. Yeah.

Yeah, that's true. It's the worst time ever. Well, no, just thanks, Thanksgiving's right around the corner and Christmas You know, so a lot of holiday festivities in October, November, December to you know Not as good as Halloween some might say, but I say Christmas is It's not better just as good as Halloween. Do people come to your house still like kids? They come to your place because you don't it Because yours is not a very pedestrian friendly area. You don't have to walk.

No, we just leave the bowl out now and say, you don't take one. Is that what they do? That's what most of the neighbors do. That's what we do, too. Plus with the dogs, you know, just it just riles them up, gets them over excited. You know, and rather have people just take the candy

rather than knock on the door and go through all the friggin formalities. Oh look at you, what are you supposed to do? Let me fawn all over you and then give you free stuff. Jesus Christ. Um Yeah, there's no enjoyment in it really, giving out candy anymore. That was never the real lore of Halloween. Was it though? It was like the spookyness and the creepyness and the the embracing of all things are. You got to do it yourself because like people wanted to be friendly and fun now. They wanted to be accessible. No, me. No. No. I want spooky stuff and skippy costumes. That's my Halloween. Yes, Halloween sluts and Halloween Oh, I was gonna say I'm sorry. I like wearing Skippy costumes bust out the black and orange thong. Yeah, what's up ladies? That's so

I mean, they American. I heard the biggest press kills ever. They want to fuck up more shit for people. They're not going to take this. Oh, yeah, they are. No, the girls are going to have.

They can't take it. You're telling a girl she can't dress like a slut on Halloween. That's shaming. Don't you do it away. Well, they're just not as many options unless they're going to do DIY costumes. You know, for- Oh, you think they're not making slut costumes?

Yeah, they're just- Let's lift that up and see how right you are. I didn't even bother looking up offensive costumes this year because everything's offensive. It's the same list. Yeah, it's the same list you have your standard. You have like your Native American gal. Yeah. Which dominant, and isn't even that good of a costume.

Unless a Hawk Girls wear it. Then it's the best costume. I don't know. Across the board, yes. But I mean like in terms of creativity, like it's not even that could have a costume. Especially if it's store bought. Yeah. I saw I saw it sexy Mr. Rogers. Great. I saw that on the news. I saw that too like the half sweater in the skirt and shit Yeah, you would never know it was mr. Rodgers or Mrs. Rodgers How are old friend Yandy? What that company is what's that company? Yeah, I think it was Yandy. How dare you assume her? Is the Andy Yandy's never gonna let it die

No way. Oh yeah. Two college girls will never stop doing that. That's what they want to do. Thank God there are some constants in this world, right? Yeah. Really? It's a college girl, you think.

It's educated women doing that. They're not educated yet. To have that diploma they turn to the Andy. Definitely. Some of them they even have like the the mortisexi mortar boarding gown. I'm sure like they want to ride it to the end the the sexy college from the park, right? Oh, I hope so. God bless you Andy. A couple of mini mortar boards over the bush. Can I buy stock in Yandy? I go opposite of you. Like, is Yandy a publicly traded?

You may be able to buy the whole company soon. Yeah. I guess there's going to be, there's going to be so little demand for Yandy's merchandise, Yandy's products. That's not a brand. You'll be able to swoop in. Yeah. Hey, Yandy.

A sexy captain Marvel, is that what I'm seeing? I don't know what that is. I loved that this stuff exists It's fucking yandy. I Fully support me. Let me pick this up by the right handle.

It's like my basement flat. It's more than you'd expect. I wear these on stage and sometimes it's like my basement flood more than expect I've been on stage and it's been hot in the arena. I've walked off on have come out. They've been shorts I don't care. I imagine you must have here like you're you're you're able to put the pants back together once you unzip them like You can do that Choker you fucking kidding me? Actually, once I drew pants, I just throw them out. I just throw them out. I throw the pant legs into the crowd. The other day I could find one of the pant legs,

so I went to another pant and I had one mismatch. I had a green on a blue pants. And I was like, I don't care. It's punk. Could you be an influencer? Like if you know how somebody like Rihanna, will carry around a thousand dollar person to size of like a match box. Yeah.

And everyone's like, oh my god, I gotta spend a thousand dollars on that. That you could influence some people. He's already influencer. He's already an influencer, not on that level of Beyonce. Right, yeah. But he's on the lower end of being an influencer though. Yeah, I agree. Like he's the type of influencer. If he's behind the lower end of being an influencer though. Yeah, I agree.

Like he's the type of influencer. If he's behind somebody that's like, stop that a green light. If he honks, they'll move. He's influenced. As far as swaying opinion or being a taste maker, who knows? I think you're wrong. I think that. Why don't we have some merch, Steve?

It's show still best. Oh, fuck what was I gonna say? I totally lost it. I don't know. I know we're not talking about it's Halloween Halloween Halloween. Oh my god. Very spooky. Are there any movies you watch religiously every year? How do you usually run through some of the Friday their teens? Yeah, I like all like 70s horror movies around this around this time here. Yeah, you won't. I don't a these like a traditional like oh, we must watch this movie every Halloween

Yeah, I'm not really into that. I don't find the need to watch a movie Doesn't put you in the mood. I don't need to be in a mood. I'm in a mood like you know I'm ready to go you oh a Halloween. Okay. I'm ready. Let's do this shit. Yeah I'm ready to go. Oh, it's Halloween. Okay. I'm ready. Let's do this shit. Yeah Holiday man over here No blackface no transphobic costumes With transphobic costume. I want to make sure the transphobic costume. I don't know It's it appears to be everyone's probably like Bruce Jenner or something No, it's just a like a guy dressed as what appears to be like a slavidly elsewife

Oh, so like Milton Burrell kind of excavates would are no longer in vogue. This is transphobic, evidently. Oh, good. So that man wearing dress like an old housewife is afraid of trans people. Tranny Granny was pulled from Walmart after facing backlash.

There was a Caitlyn Jenner caution from a few years ago. So don't be a refugee. That's not. That was last year too though. Yes, it's the same shit every year. Body shaming an objectifying costumes. It's like, so don't pretend you're riding the shoulders of a fat stripper with tassels

that doesn't even look like a human being. It's an inflatable cartoon lady. And the guy appears to be riding her shoulders. And she's happy about it. She's happy about it. But why can't I objectify? I don't know. It's only okay if like your female objectifying like Hemsworth or any of these muscle-bound Marvel superheroes. No cultural stereotypes, Q. No terrorists. Why the fuck can't you be a terrorist? You're bad taste.

What if you're like gay terrorists? Like remember in Springtime for Hitler, they made Hitler gay and that was like real offenses. Yeah, I don't know. Doesn't work anymore? Are you saying that we are not, as respected as Mel Brooks and people would not look at it? I am saying that, yeah.

Yeah. I'm saying that, yeah. I'm saying that, yeah. Zombie versions of recently to see celebrities. So no, what's his name? Ruiz, Carl Ruiz. Oh, I like that guy. I never heard of the guy before. All I've heard of good things about him.

You know who Carl Ruiz is? Some celebrity shots. I read the heart. E-Rock text me. He's like, Hey, Carl Ruiz died. I didn't answer because I'm like, I don the item. E-Rock text me, he's like, hey, Carl Ruiz died. I didn't answer, because I'm like, I don't know who that is. And you listen to the radio, you go on the internet,

everybody loves the guy. But I never knew. I would watch him on Guy's Grocery games. He was like a guy for you, dude. He was a judge on that. A good amount of time, and he was always my favorite on the show. He was good.

He was like, you watch a cooking show? I used to watch Emory with my daughter. Oh, your daughter. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Guys, guys, girls are games is a good one. Like, I'll watch it and just like veg out and watch it. It's fun. It's a, it's a, I'm like a game show with a cooking show. It's good. Right. I wonder how long you have to wait. We've lost a lot of entertainment icons recently. So it's understandable if you're inspired to tribute, to pay tribute to them in costume costume form just don't be a zombie of them. So how long do you have to wait before you're a zombie and it's not offensive? I wish the house keeping would let me know because I'm gonna live my life by the tenants that fucking good housekeeping.com has set forth for us as a people.

Please. 25 years. 25 years. Yeah. I think it's safe now. So zombie Reagan is good. You could do zombie Reagan, no? Okay. But I can't do zombie. Ripple kids. George. No, no, no, or any money. Yeah. Definitely. Like who are you? Oh my god damn it. I was trying to offend you. I'd like to go on a record that if

anybody after I dies, the day after I die gives you shit enough to be zombie dead-bearing Quinn. Wouldn't it be awesome? I think it's awesome. I could die trick-or-treating with sage halfway through like the neighborhood, dropped dead if somebody took my clothes off and slapped on some zombie makeup and dressed as me. I mean, that's awesome. So leave my body in the street or at least put it in a trash can. You know what? Unless the

woman who wrote this article, I'm assuming it's a woman, um, could be a man. Is the celebrity themselves? Then they don't have a right to speak for celebrities. Yeah, who are they? Oh, it's Sam Esco bar and Marcy Robb and it took two people to write this article yeah i i i don't think that they they are able to say that there are you're going on record then you say hey i'm a select your a legit celebrity nobody can take that away you're saying you can say c level but yeah still you got it

yeah i'm saying i'm giving permission to to people address like zombies and just like the editorial who the fuck are you guys? To tell people what is tasteful and what's not? I just don't understand Like you yourself a house keeping But you do it on but you do you you give your opinion though. Why can't they give there? This is definitive. They're saying don't do it. Wow come on. You know. It's not definitive It's only to people who are reading the magazine. You think some people listen Like like they have a kid that's like hey, I want to go dressed up to someone with bulimia. It's a respected magazine

It has a it has a history though that magazine does probably more respected than my opinion Probably well, I mean, but they're looking. Oh, it's good housekeeping. It's been around a hundred years But it's like these other these fucking people writing it. You don't know who's writing it You just have to be like a good housekeeping trust them with the editorial with this shit. So it's good enough for me Do you like do you think who's like? Like Buffalo Bill right from how do you do it? He's no Lance, okay

More people recognize me as somebody Like a really horrific serial killer in movies. Not cartoonish. Like, is that a vector? Like, animal like, I guess nobody would care if he dressed like an ambulance. Of course not. So many people have done it. But are you saying like, or you dress, even if you dress as John Wayne Gace, I don't thinkble it. Of course not. So many people have done it. But are you saying like, or you dress, even if you dress as John Wayne Gace,

I don't think people care, right? It depends on what part of you're going to. It's a gay and lesbian alliance part. I'm going to. That's a change thing. It really depends on the crowd. Know your crowd. Know your crowd, all right.

But isn't it weird that like people could dress like, they're saying don't dress like the handmade in stale. They're saying don't do remember that was last year's big list Right, I guarantee that's a list here today But you can dress like Darth Vader Like Darth Vader blew up planets like genocide left and right and he's a fictional person so Should we not dress like Darth Veda? But it's not based on reality. It's not. What's hand man's, hate me, what is hand baited in tail? That's the United States kids taking over by a rogue faction. Oh, it's

like hunger games. Well, no, they just subjugate women and make them wear these outfits. It was a based on a book by Martin. Okay. And then it is kind of like, you know, it is a slippery sloped in. But it's not. Why is it? Because if someone's going to tell you don't dress like handmaiden, but okay, Star Wars Darth Vader's okay. I agree with you. Yeah, that is it. That you really can't, if one is not good, then the other one can't be right. That's how I feel. Like, we're talking fictional fucking characters here. Come on, man. Yes, that's what it feel, like, we took a fictional fucking character's ear. Come on, man. Yes, that's what it goes sounds like. That's because it's Halloween.

And remember when you were planning your costume as a kid, and it was super duper fun. And now that you're an adult, all they have are slutty costumes or stuff you don't want to wear. Guess what? Me and these isn't going to do that to you. They're going to bring back that child-like joy of picking out the perfect costume with all sorts of spooky prints and Halloween costume onesies. I was sporting some Halloween underpants the other day, some Halloween meandies. And well, I didn't get a lot of compliments because it was in the middle of the mall during the day.

In fact, people seem pretty upset. But I bet you if they took the time to just check out the prints, they would have loved them because it was a very cool spider web kind of thing going on. They're spooky, soft, like, designed to be the best thing you've ever put on your body soft. Okay, this is where we get into all this other nonsense metaphorical, not comment. They're soft, really soft. Okay, this is where we get into all this other nonsense metaphor call.

They're soft, really soft. Mjöndi says the most unique prints out there about the Halloween prints are on another spooky level this year. They're coming out with a variety of festive prints to really put the boo in booty. Yes, I just said that for money. Didn't think Mjöndi's would up your Halloween costume game.

And then we thank you nice to talk to you then we have the conductor of this orchestra Walt Flanagan Walt how are you hello mr. Mr. Svengouli. It is an honor and a privilege to have you on this podcast. Well, that's nice of you to say. Thank you.

And is it? I'm sorry. Is Mr. the title, do you go by Mr. Svengouli? Rarely. More like that Jack is. I'd say a lot of horror hosts, like they seem to have a doctor in front of their name. There's a lot of medical.

Yes, doctor. What's the other, a baron? You know that, baron. So what do you got this year? Walt, you want to dive in there? I just want I thought we would just spend the episode just talking to the one and only Sven Goole and getting his opinions on some topics, some Halloween centric themes and just like really just like, we're hoping that maybe there's something that you've never revealed anywhere else. Maybe you can reveal it here on this episode. If it's possible, even if it's made up, it's okay. I'm assuming this is gonna go up

right around Halloween then? Yes, sir. Yes, okay. Today is Halloween. Well, today is Halloween. What a surprise. Feeder of the mind. Very good.

So, so you have questions. I had a whole bunch. Well, how about we let Fenguli give us just a little bit of his own background. So we don't ask all these very basic questions. Yeah, what, like what's the origin? Let's spend Gouli's origin. Can you tell us or is that a secret? No, actually, it began actually in about 1970 when there was a guy named Jerry G. Bishop, who was the staff announcer.

That was back when TV stations actually had staff announcers live on duty. And Jerry was the guy who was on duty on Friday nights when they started running horror movies. And he was a radio guy, so he started doing stick with the announcements going back into the movie and eventually built it into this character that he called Sven Gouli. And it quickly went from just being voiceover stuff to, there were slides of him. That's a how amazing TV was back then. Slides of him doing things that made no sense, holding a pretend he was playing a tennis

racket like a guitar, things like that. And then it finally became a video show, you know, with a video clips. And I was just a fan of his and started sending him, you know, just some jokes and material. And he liked what he got from me. He found out I was a broadcast student and invited me to come down to the studio when they were taping a show. And he started to ask me, write specific things for him.

Like, can you do a parody of this local commercial and can you write a song parody about this song? And I ended up writing and working with him and doing some voices and things like that. He, when his show ended, he took me along to radio in Chicago. and I was like a sidekick, and about 70% of the people he interviewed were me. Along the way, one of his friends who was in broadcasting said to him, do you want to

just do Spengouli again as a summertime thing, just like a summer film and just as a summertime thing, you know, just like a summer film and just as a lark. And Jerry was like, well, you know, I don't really want to get dressed up and all that stuff again. And he was the one that said to me, you could do it. You could be son of Sven Gouli, and I'll produce the show. And we had some fall star ton of nothing really happened with it. Time passes, Jerry moves to San Diego, and when he was about to leave, he said, well, what are you going to do? And I've been working with, just freelancing. I've been working with Dick Orkin, you're familiar with him. He did the chicken man series and the tooth fairy and a bunch of real funny commercials. Well, you're talking about a chicken man, was that Barconvy or is that phionic chicken?

No, no, that's a whole different thing. This is a radio serial that ran everywhere as was the tooth fairy. And he did a lot of radio commercials. If you heard his voice, you'd know it. As a big stuntorian voice, and always talked in the sort of August manner, and I was working with him, and he ended up moving out to LA.

Jerry was going out to San Diego, and he said, so what are you gonna do now? And I said, well, maybe I'll try to pitch a local station on a TV show. And he said, well, I'll tell you what, if you want to try to do the son of Sven Gouli thing, you have my blessing. He was very generous.

He just pretty much turned the keys to the franchise over to me and said, go ahead and try it. And after shopping it around, and again, some missteps or whatever, I finally ended up on the local station WFLD and I was son of spin gulie and doing the same sort of thing with movies. How old were you when you got interested in the horror host stuff? Like did you watch a horror host as a kid? Yeah, the funny thing is when I was really young,

that was when the first shock theater package of movies hit TV. And although I didn't get to stay up late when I was home, when we'd go to visit relatives, and we'd be up later, I'd see a guy who was on here in Chicago. His name was Terry Bennett, and he played this sort of beatnik sort of horror host named Marvin.

And I remember just vaguely seeing him a couple times, but then there really weren't any hosts until Jerry was on in 1970, starting in 1970. But I was interested in the horror movies themselves. It was funny, because when I was a little kid, I was interested in the horror movies themselves. It was funny because when I was a little kid I was afraid of everything. You name? I truly believe that skeletons would come and attack me in the dark. And it still happens. I just want you to know that. But yeah, I really just, again, the whole thing was using the horror host thing as as a stepping off point

to do comedy stuff. Walt, did you when you were young, did you watch any local shows that had horror hosts? I don't remember any around here. No, I mean, there was that monster's episode with Zombo. Right. Yes. So that was my first exposure to a horror host. And then as I was reading like monster magazines,

like famous monsters and some other magazines, I saw that there was this history of horror host in American television in the 50s and 60s, but unfortunately, we know on the East Coast in Jersey, New York area, I never was exposed to a horror host like that. Maddener than me. You know, John Zachary. Exactly.

Yeah, but never on TV though. I was aware of him. Oh, he's in magazines, right? Yeah, in magazines. Elvira, yes. Of course, Elvira at the 80s became huge. And, but I don't remember, but I would have been an adult when she became huge like with her with her name like you know being the you know the you know big

horror host of the eighties now how old were you when you when you took over first van ghoulie I was I believe about let's see I'm I'm backwards, about 27 actually. I was 27 years old, and I had been working with him since I was, you know, in my early 20s. In fact, when I was 19 years old, when I first started sending him stuff, and, you know, again, we worked in TV and radio together, and then, yeah, I was 27 years old when I finally had my own coffin. Well I always had because when I was growing up I'm a little bit younger than these two guys and Alvira was the one that I always saw that I've you know plus she was a sexy woman and she always had like the risqué little jokes going in and out and then I saw gremlins to um and one of the main characters

i don't know if you remember was a horror host that was trapped in the building with all the gremlins and he was dressed like Dracula the whole time yeah wasn't it was the almost try to look more like uh... grandpa yeah exactly yeah he looked like grab a l and he was bemoaning that that it was an art that was kind of dying that people weren't interested in anymore. And man, oh man, is that not true? And that movie, I think, came out in 1990. Sure, yeah.

And the thing is, it always seemed to work in cycles. You know, in the 50s, they came and went and then 60s again, and then early 70s. And then once again, you again, late 70s, when Elvira started and when I started. But it seems like I'm very fortunate that I've kept going and have defeated the cycle. Do you consider your biggest rival, Elvira? You know, not really.

I don't think I consider her a rival. I've actually met her and talked to her, and she's been very complimentary to me when she's been on interviews and stuff. People have asked about it. It's a whole different thing now, because her stuff is online now, I believe. And she has that big, too big advantages.

It seems like, I don't like that. She gets that attention for two big reasons over the mail. You know, I was a male. They said, oh, you're like El Vyra and I said, yes, but with typography. I'm just curious because I have a sphinguly shirt, one of the glow in the dark ones of your face. And when I wear it, it never fails to get people being like, oh my God, sphing Fenguli, that's amazing. What do you think, like do you, I know why I think it, but I'm curious to hear why you think

Fenguli has just lasted this long and why you seem to be more popular than ever at this moment. Well, part of it obviously is the fact that we went from just local Chicago area in Midwest to all over the country with me TV. Yeah. And before my boss is yellow, you didn't mention when it's on. It's Saturday nights at 8 o'clock, New York time, and 7 o'clock central.

But I think part of it is just hopefully that people enjoy the material that's going with it. I know one of the big reasons is the movies, especially the universal stuff. And then there's the people who would rather see the total schlock type stuff too. I often have people say, you don't show enough of that kind of stuff. But I think there's an appreciation for this. And also the whole nostalgia angle, just that people grew up, so many people I talked to, did have a local host that they really

liked. And I always worry, because I always equate it with Dr. Who, that they always say, the first doctor you saw is always your favorite. And I think, you know, with a lot of people, it was kind of like, you know, oh, you're not as good as, you know, Dr. Cryptkeep boy there Fortunately, I think a lot of people have agreed, you know, with the fact that, you know, you're okay

And I think that part was, again, you know, I'm like hopefully entertaining them and adding something to the program besides just the movies. Walt just brought it up with Elvira being your rival. Is there like sort of a, I don't want to see like a jealousy that runs throughout the community of horror host, but are like, well, if like a young brash horror host comes in, do you dismiss him or do you take him seriously? Like a young baron, maybe. Oh, him, I'm free to, don't worry about it.

No, actually, it's kind of like, it depends on, you know, the quality of what they're doing. There's all sorts of public access hosts out there. And now, actually, because of our success, it has gotten some stations to decide, hey, we could do this ourselves, and they put people on the air. I just think that, you know, if you're doing something good, you know, that's fine. You know, I'm not going to worry about, oh, he's trying to take my job. I think there's room for everybody. And unless, you know i'm not going to worry about oh he's trying to take my job uh... i think there's room for everybody and unless you know they're putting them on right-appasite

that that that you know he's submitting his tapes to meet tv and going to know i cheaper than that which is almost that's a ball by the way so you mentioned the Baron. You're definitely an inspiration to me. I consider you the goat of horror hosts at this point and

I was going to ask you what advice would you give to Young aspiring horror host who might be listening. Are there any do's or don'ts? Yeah, don't wear a turtle neck. I did that for a while under hot studio lights. Everything's so cool. That's Walt's signature look. I keep thinking, okay, why did I do that? You're under hot lights. You're already wearing all this makeup and hair and everything. And oh yeah, turtleneck, that's a great idea.

Don't wear a turtleneck. Quite honestly, it's like do your own thing. You can be inspired by what other people do, but don't try to just do exactly what somebody else is doing. Give it your own slant, and you don't have to necessarily do the conventional. You come up with something else. It doesn't have to be a vampire coming out of a coffin or a wolf man. The best thing to do is use your own originality and another thing is make it something that's kind of an amplification of your own personality. That way.

It's more natural. That may be impossible for Walt, the dynamo. So that is, no, in the creation of the show, like, do you have to pitch ideas to somebody to get approved, or they just like, do your thing, man, like go go to it? Well, I'm actually in a real good position here because our boss, Neil Saban, who created me TV, actually has pretty much done that. He said, you know, go ahead and do it. He trusts me to not do things that are not going to go well with our our audience.

And I pretty much I write the scripts and we go and shoot him. Nobody has to approve them. Great. That is a gift, isn't it? That's amazing. Which it would take so much longer if we did have to do that, you know. And then we're already under the gun a lot of times to get shows done pretty quickly. And I think also you've clearly earned the right to go forth as you wish because it's just

a joy to watch like the show is never anything besides completely fun. Well, that's very nice of you to say and that's what we're aiming to do. You know, it obviously is not Masterpiece Theatre. You know, although I never, ever in my life have watched or will watch Masterpiece Theater. But I'll tell you what, I tore as far as fewer rubber chickens out there. There you go. I gotta tell you just have a little fan boy moment.

Like I travel a lot, I tour a lot. I do like stand up type stuff around the country. And when I'm in a hotel room and you come on, it removes all the tension of travel. I'm just like this is awesome. I'm just like, this is awesome. I'm staying in and watching it. It's really, it really is something especially you have on your hands there.

Well, that's very cool. And that's what I'd like it to be. I hear from people that they watch the show as a family. And I don't know how many shows there are now that families get together to watch. And that's a nice compliment to me. And just to fact, it's just not in a practical joker. Those are the only two shows I've heard

that families watch. Especially practical jokers. We don't know about that. But it's nice because it is. It's kind of like a break. People have written to me, and they said, with everything that's going on in the world right now, it's nice to have this that's just goofy, fun.

And it is. It kind of relaxes people and lets them laugh. And I think that's cool. So you don't get political on your show? We try to avoid it. I always remember Johnny Carson saying, why would you want to alienate half your audience? And also, probably because if I started doing that, the bosses would want to look at half your audience. Yep. And also probably because if I started doing that, the bosses would want to look at all my stresses.

I don't want to go in that direction. Now, some other people who have cultivated a character like, let's say Alice Cooper, he has gone on record and said that sometimes Alice takes over. And the real Alice Cooper gets lost and the character Alice Cooper takes over and you know kind of becomes this creature or this character that can't be fed. Do you ever find yourself like trying to hold off you know, Svengouli from you know, your normal human self?

There are moments, yeah, especially I think when you're dealing with certain people, you know, most of the fans are great, but sometimes there's always a few who just are a little hard to take, and sometimes I don't even know if they know that they're being that way. I don't know that. I have noticed. Like, Sometimes when you know, Ben wants to just, you know, start letting loose with the, you know, sort of Don Rickles attitude. On Halloween, do they come to your house and tear up your lawn? Do they do stuff like that to you on Halloween?

Actually, I make sure that I usually, I'm nowhere near the front door. I have, we used to have one neighbor that their kids used to always come and try to pull things. They throw eggs at the house. We had like huge, like Christmas light bulbs on the bushes one year. There must have been 50 of them. They actually took the time to unscrew

and take every one of them. Oh, God. And, you know, I finally caught them one day 50 of them they actually took the time to unscrew and take every one of them and You know, I fairly caught them one day and went and brought them over to their mom and she was not very pleased by this and I think After that things kind of stopped. Okay. Good. Good. Are you? I'm not gonna say who's against it one of us is are you as staunchly against sexy Halloween as one of our members some somebody here is not crazy about the sex I like to I like to keep Halloween wholesome mystery solve as to who it was the other two of us want to see a sexy and ghoulie costume Halloween I don't have to wear it I certainly enjoy

seeing women dressed somewhat provocatively. I'm disappointed to hear that. Which in is though, you know? It's like, you know, if there's a lot of kids around or something, it's like, you know, you don't want them going, hey, mommy, what's that? Yeah. There's a line, right, though. There's a line, certainly. But when it's, you know, a dog house, I say, go right ahead. I's a line certainly but when it's you know, a dog house, I say, go right ahead. I mean, I've seen the sexy Mr. Rogers that they've been showing.

Oh, we just talked about that. And to me, it's kind of like, it hardly looks like Mr. Rogers. Let's face it. That's not the thing God. It doesn't tell me. What's the lack to see my play text living bra? This is a show. Yeah, I mean, I laugh because we've gone to some of those pop-up Halloween stores and

it's always, you know, a sexy dental assistant. Or something like that. If you say so. Are you married, sir? Sam. Do you ever, do you ever like, is this ever happened to you? Like your wife might be like, I don't say nagging, but giving you the business about something and you're like,

hey man, I'm Sven Goole. I wouldn't dare. No, I did it. You know, but do you have a hold of it inside to yourself? You're like, man, I'm Sven Goole, yeah, I don't need this. No, not really no okay I realize that I'm just some goof and you know it works out fine uh we we had a funny story about watching Matt Damon get yelled at by his girl friend at the time yeah I don't feel bad I'm really yeah and we we saw his his current girl Brian so his

girlfriend this is years ago yelling at him to take out the garbage So I'm always like how do you yell up my team and to take out the garbage? Yeah, you want to think it but I saw You know what I'm looking at a picture of what you're what you wear and I'm gonna I have a fairly attractive girlfriend I'm gonna have her dress up as sexy spend gulier this year and I'm gonna send you a picture buddy Do you you actively not go out like, you know, how kiss back in the day would not be seen without their makeup on? Do you go out in public without the Spenguli custom on? Is there a picture on the Internet of You and not in makeup?

Oh, there's tons of them. I've done other TV as myself here in Chicago, especially. I did a show where we would run three stu-ge shorts. We called it Stuja Paloza. And I hosted that, and in between each one of the shorts, I kind of do the same thing we do with Sven and that I'd give information about the background players and stuff that happened in the shorts.

And I did a show called the Cozone back when I was at Fox that at first hosted movies. And then because the Fox Network demanded that they have a hosted kids block, they made me the kids show host. And I did that as myself. And I would dress up as other characters too along the way. It was fun because we did this stuff live three days a week.

And I pre-recorded stuff as one character. And then it was you know flying by the CD or pants they'd run the tape in a split screen thing with me and I had to make sure I would fit in my responses and stuff in the gaps that I had left on the tape. So yeah a lot of people I'm most people here in Chicago know what I look like definitely and I've done a few characters I think on the show where I think you could see what I look like, but you know I've never worried about it. The funny thing is like you're you're going to grocery store and you're looking around

all the time you look down at the end of the aisle and you see like somebody working their kind of lean out and look at you and then disappear and then like that five minutes later, three people do the same thing and then they come over and they're tearing parts off of packing boxes for me to autograph Oh nice. Do they ask you to autograph chickens and stuff? Do you get a lot of rubber chickens? I imagine? Certainly. Yes, yes. Tons of rubber chickens when we do appearances especially people bring their own chickens and once some woman run a live chicken she didn't ask me to sign it, but she goes, oh, we've run a chicken with it

I'm like, okay, well I'll sign it and she like opens up her her sweatshirt and here's this actual little chicken and I was like, okay, that's normal How hopeful were you until you saw the chicken Let's just say I want to let that pass if if say I want to let that pass. If the original Svenguli, you know, not if, but he did pass down the legacy to you, when it's time for you, maybe to hang up your hat and your cape, will you pass on this Svenguli name to somebody else? And if, yes, do you have somebody in mind and if not, would you take a resume?

Well, originally when Jerry and I talked about it, we kind of said that I would probably be the last Sven Goole but I think that, you know, the folks I work here at MeTV, I think they would want to maybe continue it but maybe with another host and I think it would be to maybe continue it, but maybe with another host. And I think it would be a mistake for them to just put somebody else in the Spenguli outfit because I think they'd get some bad feedback. You guys probably know that here in town, we had the Bosos show forever on WGN and the original Boso was Bob Bell, who was very funny. I used to love to watch him. He was actually one of the inspirations for Crusty the Clown. And

he he went on and then they immediately plugged in somebody else's Boso and the reaction from most people was, oh man, this isn't Boso. There was difference. And they, you know, I think it'd be a mistake to put somebody in there and it's like, oh, this has been Gouli also. Can I send you a tape? You can send me a tape, sir. All right. I'll pass it on to the people in charge.

There you go. I've just taken this right along. I should put it in place with my request for a raise. So, all right. See, Walt's looking to take over your my request for a raise. All right. See, Walt's looking to take over your position. No, no, no. How about he's actively paying for you to pass on so we can take over? But let me ask you something.

Would you be open to like a guest come on for like maybe an episode here and there, nephew of Sven Goole. And it was like say your character as a nephew and maybe he's on a TV show too. It comes on the axle and practical. He's got the make up on and he just flies up to Chicago for a day to shoot with you. Now do you think that they'd be interested in that? Something like that.

It may be, but I think something like that would not be my call. We'd have to pass that along. Kick of that can down the road as far as I can. Wait a second. So what network? You're on METV? Yes. So, Q, you think that METV, if Sven Gouli was like, hey, no, Brian Quinn from Apricot Joker,

we want to do a little sonnest or enough, if youole thing. Is it cool if he does it? I feel like Sven Goole is going to get, he's going to get some mad respect there. Yeah, I think what we heard was not the idea that the network doesn't want to do it. I think so. You know, I would not mind at all if somebody coming in and do that. I don't know for the whole show. Oh, dropping for a while. I don't think that would be something that would be completely out of line. Do you get a lot of this? These sort of novices saying like, hey, can I come on the show and dress up? These guys who want to be in TV. But oh, constantly and you know, all the various public access hosts around here,

you know, like and also rock bands for some reason. Dude, I think we should be on your program. Okay. Any notable bands? No. I think it was a notable band. We're friends with Jim Peterick from the Iides of March. And we keep talking about having him come on with his band, but they we've never been able to get the timing right. And I'm sure that, you know, sometime we're going to have them on. But also, you know, you probably seen we've had Freddie boom boom cannon on and he called me out of nowhere. He said no sent an email and said I wrote a song for you

and I'm like what and this is the guy that did palisades park in tellahassee lassie and he had this song he he sent it to us and uh we ended up making a music video with him he's a great sweet old guy he's very funny he has great stories about everybody that he's hung with like Elvis and Frank Sinatra and all these guys he worked with uh he worked with Chuck Paris right didn't Chuck Paris right was uh palisades per palisades park was his big song yeah exactly right he's one of my he Chuck Paris is one of my I don't know what this says about me but he's one of my heroes in life oh yeah he the gong show was always great no the other shows that he he was behind that's

that's pretty impressive. Oh yeah, and his book is one of my favorite books. It's top three favorite books ever that I've ever read. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. He Chuck Barris is an unappreciated genius in my opinion, but I hate to ask this because it shows how ignorant man, but is he still alive? No, he died last year unfortunately. Oh, okay. Yeah, but he was, he died in his 80s, but he was with it to the end man. He was like, he was right there out there. He was introducing bands of concerts.

He was pitching shows and stuff like that and unfortunately passed away. Well, that's, I think he had a pretty full life. Oh, yeah, yeah. Certainly had a lot going on. He sure did. Walter, you like me? Did you just totally check out after Washington didn't follow Freddie boom boom?

Welcome back on a reference. There's like 99% of the audience listening to this is gonna get none of these I'm used to that you know there's times when I throw out a name or something on the show, and I actually will have to just say, just Google it. I know that, you know, when you get to my age, there's going to be things you're throwing out. And I try to appeal to various parts of the audience. You know, there's certain things I throw out that I know only a few people are going to get. So it's sort of like a little Easter egg for them.

But yeah, I know. Can I ask you a couple questions, not as a human being, but as Benguli? Sure. Okay. Like, they're going to be the human being. No, no, like, if like the character, Sven, Gully, not what you like, but what Sven, Gully would, what would his answer be to these questions? Yeah, I'm just being a smart alec there. I knew what you meant. Oh, he's already spangled.

Uh, most overrated monster. I would have to say the mummy, first of all, you know, it's a little, that's a little politically correct, air of spangling. Why is that? Well, I mean, I don't know. He's a Middle Eastern monster. Nothing to do with that.'s the female circumcision female circumcision female circumcision female circumcision female circumcision female circumcision female circumcision female circumcision female circumcision female circumcision female circumcision female circumcision female circumcision female circumcision female circumcision female circumcision female circumcision female circumcision female circumcision female circumcision female circumcision female circumcision female circumcision female circumcision F1 female circumcision F1 female circumcision F1 female circumcision F1 female circumcision F1 female circumcision F1 female circumcision F1 female circumcision F1 female circumcision F1 female circumcision F1 female circumcision F1 female circumcision F1 female circumcision n F1 female circumcision F1 female circumcision n F1 female circumcision F1 female circumcision think about it he's been in bomb that he's got all those musty old the bandages around him he's got a smell terrible

you know like i was my answer that would be the creature in the black lagoo because uh... he hangs out i love him but he hangs out he hangs out in the middle man spent goalie can you believe this fool if you want to be on your show he's called the gill man most over eight of us well they're going to be tv shoot then that you the nephews and only wants to be on the show, not me. Um, but, um, no, but the Gilman, if you don't go into his pond, you're fine. I just ponded in the middle of the Amazon. I'm not. He can come out of the pond, right, Sven Goole?

He won't tell you. He's, he's an amphibian. He can come out of the pond and look at that. And he won't mess with all these hot babes and swimsuits. Come on. No, no, why not? You're right. No, but. But he's not going to bother you unless you bother him. That's true. The mummy is a chip on the shoulder. All right, all right. That leads me to my next question and, uh, Spengouli, um, in a universal monster steel cage match.

Who is the winner? The both men. Why? Because he's very savage, you know, and there's a certain string. He's almost like the Hulk, you know, the more angry he gets. So I thought Frankenstein was more like the Hulk. Yeah, except you can't, you know, have him sewn together. The Hulk is, you know, you could rip off the Frankenstein's arms

and stuff. He's only as strong as the twine that holds him together. Do you agree with that? And if his batteries, his electric charge starts running low, that's true. He's only as strong as the twine that holds it together. Do you agree with that? If his batteries, his electric charge starts running low. That's true. He's in trouble. When you agree to that cue, you think Wolfman's coming out of it?

I think Wolfman is a strong content there. I could see it. I'd go track it. I would go track it, too. Why can't you fly around? You can turn it to mist. You can turn it to a bat. He can turn it to a wolf.

That's true. He's got an edge there, but then, you know, all you gotta do is hold up that little cross and he's crying like a baby. That's true, like he turns into a mist. That's like the least threatening form he can take, right? Like how it's just mist. He could go right down Frankenstein's nasal passages

and turn into human and then explode. So Dracula is vaping then. Yeah. Yeah. All right, so I got a cousin to my next one then. and then explode so drackel is vaping then yes i saw that i was at my next one then what is your feeling on modern horror movies like for example the human centipede but what you said modern

i'll tell you again it all has to do with story and you know the actors involved with it i think a lot of the modern stuff is just you know gory effects and there isn't enough real story nor you know quite honestly good enough acting behind it. One of the amazing things about those old universal ones and you know you guys know there's not really any blood and most of those or anything, but the way it creates the atmosphere is what's really impressive about it.

And even so, moving forward a little bit, like the Nightmare on Elm Street stuff, the first ones especially, I think, are very effective and the first Halloween. And one of the reasons that I think those really became as big as they were were you know when you watch the Frankenstein stuff and Dracula stuff It's always you know someplace in Europe for the most part Whereas this was something like this could be right in your backyard here where you live and that made it a little more

Scary, but again after a while. I think there were too many, you know But again, after a while, I think there were too many wacky, you know, it was like Freddie became Bob Hope throwing out the one-liners. Yeah. And I want to tell you, I'm ready to slash you up there as well. But you can't dig like, you know, like the human centipede, like sewing faces to orifices. That's just, there's a line that like even, that's too crazy. That should... That's just there's a line that like even that's that's too crazy. It should I mean everybody has their own You know standards, I think and to me that that goes over the line

I mean, I know there are people who are into those kind of shows and movies and that's fine, but to me I don't think it has to say the same quality is Maria Ospin's sky, you know You have this hand in Dep pentagram and your hand my son. You have your mouth on my, never mind. So is that a big no to nephew of Sven Gouli's human centipede puppet show he wanted to put on? I think we will put a pass on that. I'm just saying we sew a bunch of rubber chickens, ask them out. And do it that way.

It'll be amazing. Beek to beak. Beek to bite. I'm gonna agree. Is there a white whale movie that you want? Like that you're like, I would love to ask. Like what's the one? Anything starting with.

In without a face. Oh my God, with the brains of the tentacles and the spirals. Oh my God. I think get that movie for so long, and we've never really had the chance to get the rights to it. I keep pestering my boss, Neil Saban, to try to get it for us. Great, honey. Because I would love to have that,

because at first you don't see him. Then when they're visible, it's like, what the hell is this? Yeah. And when they get shot you know they make a noise like a whoopee cushion and it looks like there's raspberry jam coming out of them. It would be so much fun to show that movie. And I think a lot of people would not be aware of that movie. It seldom airs or growing up.

Like so it's a movie that a lot of people have been exposed to. It's called the thing without a face. It's being with that face. I have it all into two. And I cannot even remember the last time I saw it anywhere. Yeah, they did a DVD release of it. It goes for big bucks now on the aftermarket because it's out of print. Sure. Yeah. But yeah, I'd love to have it. And the rights are just beyond. Well, I don't know that we know who has the rights currently. That's a part of this. We deal with these different distributors. And at this point, I don't know that we know who actually has it.

It used to be under one person's control or one distributor's control, and they no longer have it. It's kind of like, you know, almost tracking the damn thing down before we can even get to it. Have you ever gotten in trouble for showing a movie that wasn't 100% cleared and somebody caught some shit for it? No, actually, no, because that's one thing that they're very careful of here.

They worry a lot about being sued. I wonder why. Yeah, we are very careful and don't show anything. That's where you know, I keep kind of that's another thing for you hosts who want to get it to this business. Make sure that it's legal for you to show what you've got because you know, people are very litigious and you run something you don't have the rights to,... you're gonna get sued or just put it behind a paywall and no one can find it exactly money off their work

i've never seen it but you could rent it on amazon prime before dollars what i think he owns a copy of the the list of the show for other people guys. I mean, you help us to track down who actually has the ownership of it. Yeah, put your fancy lawyers to work. Oh, hold on one second. Let me ask you something.

If I could, if I could secure the rights for fiend without a face, can that be can the nephew of send really present it with you, not not not instead of you with you? Again, it's difficult for me to say legally What can be done here? I'm like Perry Mason here. You're honor. I don't think that we could have fiend without a face There's there's a lot of stuff involved in it, but you know, maybe we could just put it behind a paywall Okay, hey it works for us you could just put it behind a paywall. Okay. Hey, it works for us. The telephs Steve motto is. It's yeah, don't ask, don't tell. Hey, got one more question for Swingooly, the monster. If one, just one of your body parts is going to be used to create a new Frankenstein's monster

Which body part would you want them to use? Is he a player? This Frankenstein? Let's see, well there are people who when they look at Spenguly that they don't know me they go, oh is that Ron Jeremy? If you're gonna use a part of me for the Frankenstein, I'd say, wow, you know, that's tough to say. And is this to say that I would no longer be around? Yeah, yeah, you'll have to be, you'll have to be distanced to use this part. yes. I'd say vocal cords. Oh, that's a good answer. You'd be able to speak again. I could use those. My voice is pretty shot these days. I could use yours. There you go.

Do you have a favorite horror host like Nons' Vinguly related? I really like El Vira and also Joe Bob Briggs, though he is not, you know, in the, you know, vampire coming out of the coffin class, he is a horror host. And again, that's like what I was talking about, totally different kind of tack on doing horror hosting. His character is great and he's a smart guy. The two of them, I enjoy both of them a great deal. I did a little research and I found out that within 20, 25 miles there's another horror host in our area. His name is Halaline Jack.

He's from Tom's Riverwall. In your opinion, Fengouli, is there enough room in one county for two hundred hosts? I've never heard of Halloween, Jack, have you heard of that, Fenguli? Actually, I've seen him online, and I think I actually talked to him once in an interview. I've never seen his show, though, so I don't really know.

And again, it depends on who's doing the quality stuff. And then there's also a Halloween, Jack, I'm reading right here, that David Bowie created for his Diamond Dogs album. Maybe you guys can get those lawyers to give him an old cease and desist in that way the Baron can rule, you know, that's him. Yeah, he can take over and Halloween Jack. It seems like Halloween Jack is very closely based on you.

I don't think so. I did. He's got a top hat, he's got makeup. I don't think so. I did. He's got a top hat, he's got makeup. I don't know. I just feel like he has a top hat too when he's not taking anything from me. Have you have you considered yeah anybody who wears a top hat maybe like just launching a series of frivolous lawsuits like against like loss suits like a guy like a slash and Halloween jack and Mr. Napoli. A penguin. Vampira. Elvira.

Vampira versus Elvira, which one are you more of an Elvira guy? I would have to say yeah, because I think just from what I know about vampire, she was a little odd. And in fact, you guys know Dana Gould? Yeah. He told me that he, for a long time, was kind of almost like a caretaker for Vampira, Mala Nerma or whatever her name was.

And he knew all sorts of things about her. And yeah, I think Cassandra Elvira kind of has her life and act together a little better That vampire did now vampire he said right? Yes, so if you were to give us some gossipy juicy tidbit about her Defender shelf so we would listen to it if you wanted to say it Well, I keep hearing stories about how she was hanging out with James Dean. Oh, yeah. I don't know too much more than that.

But yeah, and you guys remember the big lawsuit that she filed against Del Vira. Did she? Yeah, because she felt that it was ripping off her character. And I don't think she was successful. I guess, well, I said it didn't want a 90 year old horror host doing the thing. Yeah, put her in that outfit. That'd be great.

Well, horror losing probably means that there's a precedent set that you couldn't go after the barren in any way shape of form. You know, because it's a courtship shown that you, it's really hard to win. These cease and death is. Yeah. And then I think anybody would even think of tried to do the Baron at this point. Yeah.

Well, it's pretty committed. So he'll lose his house in order to best you for whatever reason. What if I started a show on True TV called nephew of Sven Gouley with that issue? Yeah, I think that might be an issue. I'm sorry. I'm looking at a picture of vampire in 1947. If you're around in 1947, yeah, it probably enters. It's very like Golden Age Hollywood, you look in. Not to mention the fact that if you could see she had the tiniest waist. Oh yeah. Is it incredible? If you ever

seen plan nine, you can look at that and you go, how is that even possible? Yeah, she's barely walking right? It's had to be like some sort of like girdle, right? I'm wondering, I don't know for sure or else I don't know if she went the share route. That's what the barren's gonna do now. He's gonna get a girdle and he's gonna try to get that. Just get your waist in the fan fire. Just go over big. Devon, you're going to get in the fan fire again. So what does Spengouli do on a typical Halloween? How do you spend Halloween? Usually I'm working.

I usually have some public appearance somewhere. We've done sports events the Chicago Bulls game. We've done appearances at night clubs and bars and things like that. Have you met Michael Jordan? I've never met him no. What about uh juicy smell? Is that like, is that Chicago right? Yeah, I like it.

Close line, I don it in some clothesline. I don't know what he did. That sounds dangerously political. He put it to questionable use. And a red hat, right? A red top hat. The red top hat that says maggot. That's how you go out, Spenguille.

When do you walk in? You're like, I'm done with this. You got a red Topeth at the Tsizmaga. Any other questions, Walt? I mean, I was gonna ask, I think everybody probably asked this though. I think it's one of those amateur hour, if I asked this, but I guess I'll ask it anyway. Your favorite all-time classic horror movie.

Yeah, that gets that all the time and the thing is I don't have just one favorite There's different movies I like for different reasons. I will say that I really do like Bride of Frankenstein and Dracula those are those are two of my top favorites And then you know it almost goes by the various time periods. Then, sorry to say this, the creature from the Black Lagoon. Not great movie. Great movie. Yeah, and those are like my real top ones.

I like the mummy, but I agree with a lot of people. There's parts that are just so slow. And also, you don't get a heck of a lot of the actual mummy in it. It's more carloft as, you know, the sort of wrinkled looking strange Egyptian fella. Well, that brings me to, because I have a quote that I found online, attributed to you about the Tom Cruise mummy remake.

And it says that you said, it's the biggest pile of dog shit you've ever seen in your entire life. Is that true? Did you say that? No, I never even saw that movie. All right. I'm sure now. He just posted it. Damn, I was trying to get us an exclusive wall. It's open to start some trouble. You misattributed a quote to the guy. I just made up that quote on trying to get him to confirm I just made up that quote on trying to get them to confirm. Oh, you guys. Come on. I wanted to know I pretended to look at my phone as if I was reading that online.

I was totally buying it. I was like, wow, finally. You know, the standards and practices people here that were I ever to actually say that in an interview, I'd be hearing about it. And I might be facing, you know, it's like professional wrestling as a suspension. Oh, no. Oh, really? Okay.

Now, are you a backer of this? Well, I know they kind of abandoned it. The remaking of or the reimagining of the universal monsters. Do you think it should be done? Do you think a 2019 or 2020 audience, you can remake the universal monsters and have them be popular? I'm kind of like I'm the fence about it. I think yes and no. 20 audience, you can remake the universal monsters and have them be popular? I'm kind of like I'm the fence about it. I think yes and no. You remember Van Helsing? Yes. There were things actually that I liked a lot in that and some things that I was like

your kidn't right? I think if it's done correctly, I think sure because you know there's still a market for these characters. Otherwise, we wouldn't be running them on my show. And I think sure because you know they're still a market for these characters. Otherwise, we wouldn't be running them You know on my show and I think that you're also fighting with people's memories of those movies and you know Carl off this Frankenstein and Lanchini Jr. is the Wolfman and you know Bayla is Dracula. I think that You've got to somehow find a way and I don't know if it's even possible in this day and age find as as sort of the same feel as that and and i don't know i don't know if that would actually work or not if you

could i think it would work what would i like about it when they when they remake like like you said that that that that dog shit tom cruise movie like when they when they remake that it does reignite interest in the old like people are like, oh, let me rewatch that and then they order it off Amazon. So I do like when they do it just because it reminds people that the old ones or audiences that were too young, they, I feel they go sniff it out, which I like about it. I do.

Yeah. And the funny thing is that when we started running the universal movies on our show, a lot of those had not been on regular broadcast TV in maybe, you know, between 15 and 20 years. So it was another way of, you know, re-educating people on those classics. Is there a non-harm movie, any non-harm movie that you can see spend Gully hosting. Oh, wow. I mean, a movie that I really love is Night of the Hunter. Do you know that one? I've heard it. I've never seen it. One of the strangest movies that you've ever seen. And it's, it's, it's got, it was the only movie ever directed by Charles Lawton and it was panned so much after it came out that he never directed another movie,

but there are shots in that that are so incredibly beautiful and some incredibly scary moments in it as well. That's one to look for. And actually on our show, I have hosted some non horror movies. We did a couple of Marks Brothers movies. Did you ever go to the Acre mansion went forest? No, no, I never did. I was not able to ever get there. And by the time that I could of, he was he was already long gone. I have talked to you know Joe Moe. We used to stay with him and help him with his stuff. He's told me a lot of stories about Forrest and just how amazing the Echor mention was.

I lived in LA at the time and only found out afterwards that if you walked up to his place, you'd be like, come on in and check out all this shit. Isn't that amazing? It's a sounding. That would be so cool. And you know, you think it's probably a good thing that a lot of people didn't know that because think how many people would be sending it. And then he'd be so sick of it that obviously he'd probably pull the plug on it.

That's what Kirk amateur do, right? He's a great collection. Oh, yeah. Just people going his house to get it. Just insane. Now, Smingooly, you're going to be appearing in dc comics in october right well yes, it's it's happening right now since this is halloween it's a four weeks worth of

these little chapters in which smingouli faces a terrible horror and has to rely on the justice league and its members to help him fight it off. And it's just amazing to me. You know, I was a comic book fan from when I was a kid and still love comics. And the fact that I get to be, you know, on the same pages with Green Lantern and Wonder Woman and Superman and the Flash is just, you know, something I never would have thought of.

And it's a lot of fun. We had the chance to actually, I got to help write some parts of it. And the artwork by Christopher Jones is just outstanding. I love seeing it. And he's caught, you know, seeing yourself and seeing how well he's captured you is amazing. As I've been telling people, he's even caught my less than perfect posture in some of the artwork. Are you a, were you a big comic collector growing up or, or, or still? Yeah, I still have them.

I've still got the books from the early 60s. And I have the, the very first one with, with one with a bat girl. Oh, really? First boys and Ivy. Do you have a favorite creator, any favorite artists or writers in comic book field? Oh, you know, I always liked Kurt Swan, Colin Jack Kirby, of course. Yeah. Just great stuff. The legends. Yeah, I was lucky enough to recently get some original Kurt Swan artwork and I just love it. I look at it. I'm like, he just looked amazing the way he drew Superman. Yeah, they did the characters so well and you know, and even you know, back to the bill finger stuff. I love that too.

This is a man who is a refined taste right here. Yeah. Oh, I can't, I just can't wait for the nephew to meet me on the show. It's just going to be amazing. It's just going to be so much fun. Oh my god. Wow. So what is, what is how is like what is the worst show you've ever done? I always find this interesting asking like what is two questions? I was always like asking people he's one what is the question you've never been asked that You want ask that you want asked and two what was the worst? Show that you got done that you were like oh my god. How did this happen? How did we blow it like this? Wow, that happens to me. I'd have to say one of the ones that I wasn't real fond of is once they had us do look who's talking. Oh boy.

That's one that I think I'd pretty much like to forget. I think the question I'd like to be asked is, why did you ever do Look Who's Talking? Great, great. So now that you've conquered TV, now comics, what's next? What's down the road just a little bit? Wow, I really don't know at this point, you know, I don't know that I'll ever have the chance like El Barat to make a Sven Gouli movie. Well, not with

that attitude. Yeah, well, that's it. That's all it is. I mean, in any era of like crowdsourcing and what's the website we go from the one me and stuff like that i can imagine if you really wanted to do it that you wouldn't be able to pull it off like i i it almost seems like a no brain of the me like i don't know that i'd be able to easily raise a hundred grand right yet without a doubt

having the time to do it right now would be difficult and i I just don't know that I'd be able to handle that with my regular job here. How many hours a week do you work on the show? Sorry. How many hours a week do you work on the show? Pretty much every single day and even on weekends, I'm working on the show. And I'm doing stuff at home as well.

I'll be home, you know, in the evening or in the morning, and I'll be writing. There's an awful lot of work that goes into this. People always think you have like the huge staff, and you know, and I've got writers like Buddy and Sally in the other room, but in reality. Was that a tick van Dyke reference? Yes, sir.

I'm the one that's gotten that one. In reality, was that a sick van Dyke reference? Yes, sir Show I'm the only one that's gotten that one and even all our listeners ain't gonna get that one I recognize the names couldn't put him in the show I thought he just had a stroke If you ever watch the show and see you know the lid of the coffin the skull face talking it's based on Murray Amsterdam in the Dick Van Dyke show. He was called Buddy Serelle. And so the face is called Body Serelle. And he talks about the shame kind of voice like he had. Hey, Rob, what are you doing? So go Google that one, kids.

If anyone who watched in Dick Van Dyke was still alive, they would appreciate that reference. I think it's still on Sunday nights, if you watch me TV like at 10 o'clock or 11 o'clock. It's a company man right there. It's a whole, you know, if I don't, I hear plenty of about it. All right, Sven Gully. Well, thank you, right? Well, I mean, any more questions? No, I mean, this has been, like I said, on my Mount Rushmore of people I respect, it's Tom Brady, Tom Brady, Tom Brady and Sven Gooley. That's the foreheads of my

Mount Rushmore. That's really nice of you. I appreciate that. And would have been nicer for three Sphin ghoulies though Three stooges It means a lot to me that that people appreciate what I do That's that's one of the things when I go and do appearances people come up to me and they'll say thank you for doing this And that that means a lot to me I'm just you know really really flattered and I'm happy you know basically. I'm just, you know, really, really flattered. And I'm happy, you know, basically I'm happy to still have a job, certainly. But it's nice to know that people

really care about what I'm doing. In the time between when I was son of Spenguly and came back as Spenguly, there wasn't a week that went by that somebody didn't recognize me and say, when are you going to do that again? I really liked it. I really figured if people cared about it that much, you know, there was no way that I could say no, I don't want to do it again. It means something to people. And because of that, it means a lot to me. And if I get in some plugs here, please go to spingooly.com or meettv.com. You have a choice. And make sure you watch me Saturday nights at 8 p.m. Eastern 7 p.m. Central. And I don't know what time it's on in Transylvania. Walt just passed me a note to cut out your plugs. I don't know what it means. No, it has a hip plugs possible.

Well, look, I really look forward to working with you. I will. I'll have my agents reach out to the producers and then I imagine we'll be working together very soon. I hope. Sure, and I'll be doing a show called Practical Burwans. Thank you so much. It really wasn't on to the talk to you. Happy Halloween, Sven Goole. Thank you. Great to talk to you guys and I've been fans of you guys as well. So this has been a lot of fun for me. Oh, thank you. Thanks man. Have a good Halloween, Sven Goole. We've talked to you soon. Okay. I'm going to go out and soap up my own windows so nobody else will. Figs, Ed. Alicia, I think there's something we all can agree upon.

Nurses, doctors, dentists, and people who work in medicine and health care are pretty awesome. And all of us can think of the time when a medical professional helped us or a family member. These amazing people dedicate their lives to caring for and serving others. Shouldn't these amazing people wear scrubs that make them feel good? What these amazing people do every day is more than a job and what they wear is more than uniform. Shouldn't they wear scrubs that help them feel good and perform at their best? Yes, they should.

Because FIGS is an amazing company that is making scrubs stylish and functional for the people who deserve it most. For years, nurses, doctors, and dentists, and other awesome medical professionals were forced to wear scratchy, ill-fitting scrubs. Not only were they ugly and uncomfortable, but they weren't designed with the innovative technical properties to protect and hold life-saving tools. Figs creates the highest quality medical apparel, so that medical professionals looked their best, feel their best, and perform at their best every day. Figs are made with anti-micro- car, wow, micro-

micr- anti-microbial protects from germs and bacteria, reticulously soft, moisture-wicking, and features for-way stretch. Figs are made with yoga waste bands and coming of a variety of styles from classic straight legs to joggers and even skiddy styles. Figs give backs so you can too. Every time you shop at Figs, they give scrubs to health care providers in need around the world through their threats for threats initiative. Today, FIGS has donated hundreds of thousands of sets in over 35 countries. Speaking of giving, FIGS makes great gifts for the lifesavers in your life.

FIGS gift cards are now available, so next time your doctor, nurse, or dentist, or dermatologist, or pediatrician saves the day. Tell them thank you by sending them figs.

That was great. Right? Yeah. What a really nice guy. What a great guy. Yeah. I don't know if that would be, but if I could go back in time,

I would be, I would like to be a horror host. And I'd like to do it the way that Spengouli does it you know with wholesome Family entertainment That's the that's what I respect so much of the guy never works blue. It's completely safe and just you know Kid-friendly and I have so much work. Yeah, so really works. Do you think he meant new viewers frequently? Well, I can imagine, like, say you had younger kids and you're like, I'm gonna watch this, like maybe your kids would watch it with you. Yeah, I think that like he's...

Well, kids finding it on their own and being like, well, this is awesome. Probably. It's tough. I mean, there's so much content out there. I mean, it's hard to find an audience, but obviously he has because, I mean, he's fucking bigger now than he has ever been if there was a situation in which they're like

Hey, we love the Baron networks like we love the Baron. We love Sven Gouli. Yeah Sorry, there's not room for two of them. So we're gonna let Sven Gouli go. He's one tell you ahead of time. He had a good run He had a great run. I mean, hey, it happened to the first Benguli. So he knows a shit's going to happen. He's just said he's grateful to have a job. He just said it. Moments ago, he's still riding the high. It's like taking the ice guys.

He's about to rush more, right? Yeah. Now Walt's next to Tom Brady. He's been glistening. There's a gravel pit. Who don't think that we can do that? You know that we can do that? You know that we can do that?

Do what? Like a barren hosted. I mean, I've done, I've dabbled in it. I've kind of played with experimented it with a little on the Patreon. But it's, it takes a lot of work. It takes more than just, you know, a one man pulling all that off like, Spengouli says it's, it's, it's a lot of work. I would need, I would need a it's a lot of work I would need a staff yeah yeah I would need a staff you need more than just a green blanket he doesn't have a staff

though well I mean he has me TV behind him too you know so he he's got something he's got more than what we have to pull it off and you know who owns me TV. He told us did he remember it? I can't remember what network he said or owned it You need a staff, huh? Well, you do you need to say because you got to get the movies Yeah, you can't just like make all that shit up as you go. So you're gonna need sets and Riders and I would love to do it, but you know, but that right there that man is an inspiration No, so like like you says I if I put my mind to it, I bet you I could do it. You can do it. We got to do it for the right reasons too. Like, um, he loves it. Like

he, that guy was for free writing jokes and sending them to some do it. Like, in today's world, if someone wrote jokes and sent them to us, the location, say these jokes on the show, I'd be like, what? Well, that bet what well that's well we actually did take somebody under my wing like Tom was asking for the new Sunday Jeff show yeah yeah I mean this guy you became a a regular computer right on the yeah so it happens I mean I don't think Tom is ever gonna become good
