0:00.0	Hi, this is Gilbert Gottfried and I'm here with my co-host, Frank Santopadre, and we're
0:22.3	once again at Nutmeg with our engineer Frank Pertorosa and this is Gilbert and Frank's amazing
0:32.2	colossal obsession. Pure polish. You know that? You're like Gerwood Kirby. I thought of myself
0:43.3	more of a Nallen fun. A Nallen fun style? I don't think Nallen fun was a well-liked guy. Maybe
0:49.2	our guest today can help answer that since he knows a lot about show business. We have our
0:54.2	power, our pal, Mark Melcoff. Nice to see you, gentlemen. When we were talking off the air, you said,
1:02.4	and we've had him on the show, and I did a movie with him, the actual problem child, Michael Oliver.
1:10.2	Michael Oliver, Johnny in the 80s, early 90s. Well, let me set you up before we get to that.

1:46.5	And we'll get into detail, but satisfy Gilbert, tell him it's Michael Oliver. Michael Oliver did

2:01.3	Quinn Cummings, you remember her for course, I follow her on Twitter. Good bye girl. So in her memoir,
2:05.6	I wanted to try to get her on, but she was very nice about it. But apparently, and I watched the
2:10.3	tape she went on with Johnny and Carson wouldn't have kids on for like something like a year after she
2:16.6	was on. I mean, it was it she calls it disasters. I watched the videotape and you could tell Johnny's
