[Note from 2024: We were lucky enough to record this convo with Gilbert at his home back in 2015 and honestly, hanging out with him will forever be a career highlight for us. He was so funny and so kind. His wife, Dara, was also incredibly nice to us, just three creeps she found hanging out in her living room one morning. We continue to miss him terribly. Please enjoy listening to us as we're just happy to be there as Gilbert is non-stop hilarious! - Andrew] On this very special episode, the gang sits down to chat with the legendary Gilbert Gottfried! Just as we'd hoped, our talk jumped all over the place, hitting such topics as Adolf Hitler, The Twilight Zone, some of Gilbert's early impression bits, the Universal Monster films, our mutual disapproval of The Jackie Gleason Show, and, of course, several of Gilbert's hilarious appearances in film and television, including: the Problem Child movies, Beverly Hills Cop II, Highway to Hell and the live action Superboy show!  Much thanks to Gilbert for coming on
