This podcast was SUCH a blessing.

Gilbert and Frank had done such a great service to old and all but forgotten Hollywood. Directors, actors, voice actors, television hosts etc. Having had several nonagenarians on the show throughout the years like Carl Reiner, Bill Macey, John Astin, Art Metrano, Peter Marshall, and Sonny Fox to name a few. Frank and Gilbert gave us all a true gift by giving those golden age icons one more day to share their wisdom and knowledge, and experiences. People often give Howard Stern praise for his interviews, but many of Gilbert and Frank's guest were truly inspiring, and they were all beautiful. There were many laughs had on the show, and stories that would give you chills. I CAN NOT praise Gilbert and Frank enough for what they did.

Thank you.
