Summary

This week on "Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast," Gilbert's old boss ALAN THICKE joins us for a look back at the late, lamented talkfest "Thicke of the Night" and reminisces about everything from his short-lived disco career to scripting variety specials for Johnny Cash, Bobby Darin and Flip Wilson. Also, Alan and Gilbert swap wives, John Lennon praises commercial jingles and Paul Lynde drives into a ditch! Next up, comedy titans clash as we extend a peace offering to legendary funnyman SHECKY GREENE in the wake of the much-publicized Gilbert-Shecky Friars Club feud! (it was just like the Begin-Sadat summit) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hi, this is Gilbert Gottfried. This is Gilbert Gottfried's amazing colossal podcast.

0:29.8

And today, my co-host Frank Santopadre and I have a rather unusual episode.

0:38.0

First, I'll be speaking to my wife's swap co-star, the guy I swap twice with, and my old boss from

0:50.0

Take up the night Alan Fick.

0:53.6

Hey, this is Andy. If you give me a get-free, zip-deer in the get-free, and you're going to be

1:02.0

switching waves. You're going to have a little wave-swip, but get-wift-free, because you like to

1:08.3

swap waves, but get-wift-free, and you know it's a wave-swip. It's like they have a wave-swip,

1:16.4

but get-wift-free. And then, I'm going to have a very strange conversation with my recent

1:26.4

Friars Club Arch Enemy, the legendary comic Shakey Grief, best known for having the name Shakey.

1:38.4

You don't know who he is, but you have heard the name Shakey, unlike the Muppets, and stuff like that.

1:47.6

Anyway, I was performing at this event, Arch Friars Club event, and I was doing my usual

1:57.4

type of peaceful material. And I mean, look, it was a Friars Club event where I first

2:06.2

performed the aristocrats for a mess crowd, and they loved it there. That's what the Friars Club

2:15.6

is about. You could go there, Jack Benny and Milton Burrell would go there and do dick jokes.

2:24.4

Anyway, Shakey, in the middle of my act, gets up and walks out, which shocked me in two ways.

2:34.0

Number one that he could still stand up, and two that he can walk. Imagine what I could do

2:44.1

to watch Stephen Hawking's. I had that kind of material. I could do some of my dirtier stuff,

2:52.7

and he'd get up and walk out going, I'm very offended by that type of too soon. And I'd

3:04.1

taste this comedy remark, and I don't have to sit here. Anyway, I decide I'm going to take the

3:15.3

high ground, and I'm going to call Shakey. I'll be the one to give out that piece of

3:26.5

branch or whatever that fucking score. And so I call Shakey. I'm reaching out to him,

3:35.0

and I actually have a career, but I reached out to him. He is Shakey who's offended by my
