LOL, reading that I just have to bump up a conversation from Rowsus and myself from a few years ago:

Did you know if there are 23 people in a forum that there is a 50% chance of two people having the same Birthday! Further if there is 75 people in a forum there is a 99.9% chance of two people sharing a Birthday!!!!

(Google Birthday paradox if you want to understand it before Rowan explains it to you!)

You won't believe this, but........ about 10 years ago I was saying exactly this to a friend of mine in a pub. He wouldn't believe me, and bet me $50. I told him 23 people was just better than 50/50, and 27 people was just better than 60/40 that you will find a match. He said he'd give me 28 people to find a match (65/35 my favour), but any twins I came across were excluded. There was a table of 6 young guys nearly next to where we were standing, so I started with them.
The very first 2 guys I asked had matching birthdays!!!

Just completed the remaining free episodes of Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast (https://www.gilbertpodcast.com/). Highly recommend to any fans of Gottfried or those who enjoy stories from the entertainment industry and old Hollywood. Great stories by the guests, well researched by both he and his co host as well as Gilbert providing impressions of Old Groucho Marx, Gavin MacLeod, Paul Williams, John McGiver and Herve Villechaize to name a few. Episodes usually run for around 70-110 minutes.

My top 10 episodes in no particular order of the available free library would be:
Bob Einstein
Tracey Jackson and Paul Williams
Weird Al Yankovic
Michael Nesmith
Shep Gordon
Ron Friedman Returns
Beverly D’Angelo
Neil Sedaka
Marx Brothers Round Table
Kliph Nesteroff

In the previous post I forgot to mention some of the stories on the show that are regularly asked of or mentioned by the guests. These include Cesar Romero and orange wedges, cunnilingus chimps, Bob Dylan wanting to become the next Jerry Lewis, Bill Cosby allocating time when writing the Cosby show to teach Asian models comedy, Casey Kasem and a death dedication for a dog, reasoning behind the title of the Monkees movie, the year the monkees sold double the albums of the Beatles and Rolling Stones combined and many more that I’m forgetting.
