Uh oh! The GF Returns Question! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


Don Cardi

TIS,you were amazing!!!

Yes,this interview will be held for ages as "The Popcorn Girl Interview"

ok well I got on here late

All I know so far is that JG doesn't like GF Returns, Partagas talked about Mancini and apparently this station feels that if you are a male and are listening to them you have something wrong "down there"

how many times did he say Penis? 5? 10?

Was my name mentioned?

Only when they said penis.


I was waiting for you to call in DMC. I wanted to hear your voice.

Btw, SC, DC, or anyone, any members call that you know of that didn't use their board name?

TIS

Red wine?? He should have brought him a bottle of Stoli.

Anyway, FABULOUS job, JG!!
Everyone who called, too. That was very cool.

Geoff did very well!! He's such a diplomat ... he didn't come right out and say "The Godfather Returns" sucks.

We, from the board, had 5 callers!!!

That was a blast!
Can anyone brief me on what was before the question on which Geoff answered with "Timeless"?

Congratulations Geoff! You were great. See, that wasn't so bad. A celebration would seem appropriate. Too bad we are all in different parts of the country.

It was great hearing everyone, SC, DC, Beth, Part....you're all the best.


TIS

BTW, did Geoff say there was a way to have this show on-line so we can listen to it?

No.... it was 5 of us who made it through. I guess there are some other "Godfather" fans around who don't live here.

It was early on in the show, and I forgot what prompted that answer. I'm sure Geoff will post a link to the recording of this show.

YOU!! .... YOU'RE the best.

Joel spent more time with you, TIS, than he did with any other caller.

Bahhh...if this forum is not good enough for them,they should stick to Spaghetti and Popcorn!

Only when they said penis.


I was waiting for you to call in DMC. I wanted to hear your voice.

Btw, SC, DC, or anyone, any members call that you know of that didn't use their board name?

TIS [/b][/quote]I have a face for radio and a voice for silent movies

Geoff, you were a true pro on that show. I am proud to be one of your capos!

Now tell me the truth! Turnbull never called in! Did you have a hidden earpiece in your ear that Turnbull was talking to you through?


You are the man Don Malta! The show really reminded me of how fortunate we all are that you have provided us with such a fantastic site for us to all be a part of!


Don Cardi

I just had to read the last 2+ pages here before I posted, to make sure it went okay!

That was fun, and I'm so glad many of you guys called in -- you were all terrif' on the phone lines! I'm not certain if Bob from NJ is a member here - is he? That'd make it 6! Tho I'm certain Popcorn Sherry is NOT a member here!

So you caught the part where I asked Bethie if she felt "crabby" about GF3?

As for Tif -- I mean TIS -- he kept telling me beforehand which caller was next, so after I suspected "Tif from Cally" was TIS, I told him to make sure. And when I heard it was "Joe from Staten Island" I asked him to see if it was "Don Cardi"

I tell ya, y'all talked and talked better than I did it was great! I only managed to stumble on a few words now and then, but I think it turned out pretty well.

Joel is going to send me a copy on CD for me to post online, along with a couple pictures we took together. I can't wait to hear how it really sounded.

I tell you, I was worried about trying to fill up 2 hrs, and there were so many things I wanted to mention but just couldn't! It could've gone on for 2 more hours!

Next week Joel's having Peter Biskind (The Godfather Companion) to talk about some other book he's written. I wonder if they'll mention The Companion...?

Anyway - thanks again for calling in, and for the support, and for not heckling me!

Did anyone outside the U.S. get to hear it?

That was fun Geoff. But there wasn't enough time, there just wasn't enough time. :p

You know when Joel started describing the scene of Sandra measuring Sonny's...ummmmm..... I was this close to yelling out, PENIS!!

It would have been Joel's fault, not mine.

That was a few years back? Jesus, time sure does fly!

Reading this whole thread in (regretful) retrospect, I think it's fair to say that it's events like this that make all the members here a lot more humane. This is a great site, and thanks to JG for running it.

Cheers, pal.

Mick

That was actually me slapping, and then I finished the line for him -- anyone notice my bad impression? I did another one shortly after - if you didn't notice it was me, then great!

Do you know how tempted I was to start out by saying " Hey Malta Mang, Wha chu doin a freakin GoFadda show for! Wha about A scarface show mang! Chu traitor! No, just kidding, it never crossed my mind! But seriously, I was gonna start off telling the Sonny/EZ PAss joke, and then decided against it. Then what does he do near the end of my call? He opens the door for the joke! So I couldn't resist! It was really a great show and you did a really fantastic job! Ta Salute Don Geoff!


Don Cardi

BTW,Geoff,who picked all the tunes from other movies as intros everytime you came back on air?
There was 2001,Mission impossible,Indiana jones?,and what else?
Everytime I thought I tuned in for a different movieshow

Welcome home Geoff!! Glad everything went well. I know I speak for everyone who was able to listen, when I say the excitement on the board here was at the highest level. Heck you can tell by reading this thread how "up" everyone was. Very exciting & fun.

So, Joel do the GF impersonsations? He's pretty good. I'm glad everything went well and hope you get to do it again sometime.

Btw, yes, when I was holding I heard them say "TIF" Someone came back and asked how to spell it.

Nice job!!!

TIS

That was the standard bumper music for the show itself, which normally talks about all movies. That was done off-site in Newark (where the producer who took your calls was), while Joel and I (and local producer Don Timothy, who did the sound bites) were in the studio in Princeton. Amazing how that all works!

Yeah, Joel does all the impersonations - he's pretty good!

Wow, he just sent me the photos! I'll post them in a bit...

Geoff, you were wonderful! I missed about the first half because I was out helping in a school event (I didn't even think I'd make it back for any, so I was lucky!), and then (and now), I have my crazy baby cousin over who is tearing up the house, but I was surprisingly able to listen to a good amount.

From what I heard, you did absolutely perfect, mixing in good humor with serious discussion, and you definitely made us all proud! SC and DC, I missed your parts! I did, however, come in right when Beth was being introduced, and I got to hear Part and TIS! Beth, good job for showing popcorn lady who's boss. Part, I loved when you asked what The Godfather was...or what it was about...I think it caught Joel by surprise. TIS, you did wonderful, and you were a great representation of the board. All of you guys did great, and it was so fun to hear it! Geoff, it's time to get your own talk show, I think!

PICS FROM THE SHOW!

("Don Timothy" was the in-studio producer who did the sound bites and stuff)

I was on hold for at least ten minutes. I heard one lady answer "spaghetti" to the question about what food is in every GF film. That was kind of funny but not as funny as the popcorn lady.

I got to hear DC and SC before I made the call. I heard all of Beth's while I was on hold. I knew she would get the "orange" answer for sure. Partagas, as usual you cracked me up with the Lucy Mancini comment. At least nobody said penis. :p I am glad Joel kept giving the website address too. Good advertising. Is he a pretty nice guy Geoff?
Can't wait to see the pictures.

TIS

Gina, you have an idea there with the talk show. "The BB Comes To TV". ha ha

Great pictures Geoff. You all look so happy. Doesn't look like a very big area, but I think most tv broadcast studios are small no???

I hope you're keeping a scrapbook or journal or something of all these exciting GF related things you do.

TIS

Good pics! Nice shirt! But it's radio, Geoff..no one would see it. :p

It'll be nice to get the show linked here cause unfortunately it wasn't on any of my local radio stations, and I was missing software it seems to be able to listen to it online, so I missed everyone else.

Bethie - You called the show although you couldn't hear it before or after you called?? Now THAT is dedication!
