Answer Me This! Episode 206 is an exciting one, because we’re joined by legendary comedian and erstwhile rabbi Jackie Mason!
We snuck backstage to talk to him at the Wyndhams Theatre, where he’s performing his farewell show Fearless – click here to find out more about it and buy tickets – and we learned many things: real people are better to watch than Caddyshack II; Lucozade has yet to break America; and Madonna is a sick person (well, we did have an inkling of that already).
For more wisdom, listen:
Before you get to hear Jackie, though, you have to listen to us waffling on as usual, about such matters as:
legless frogs
the legal smoking age limit
litotes
sex vs. Buckaroo
Roman numerals
Snog Marry Avoid?
proxy servers
and
heirloom gobstoppers.
Plus: Olly exposes The Artist complainers as FRAUDS; Helen’s inner Russell Brand is unleashed; and before you ask, the reason Martin the Sound Man didn’t come with us to meet Jackie Mason is NOT because no goys were allowed, but because he had to go to work! Science waits for no man.
There’s more Jackie in this week’s Bit of Crap on the App, where he holds forth upon the upcoming US election and Harry Redknapp’s dog, so fire up your iDevices or Android.
AMT is back to its normal guestless state next week, but we’re not alone so long as we have your QUESTIONS; so leave a voicemail on the Question Line (dial 0208 123 5877 or Skype answermethis) or send an email to answermethispodcast@googlemail.com.
See you next Thursday,
Helen & Olly

I really like your podcasts but I was frustrated to fund out (very late) that you had Jackie Mason on your show. You may not support his political views but how could you justify having him, he is a horrible man.

Oh, Jackie Mason was nifty! I really enjoyed how straight forward he was! Though, he certainly interrupted you guys a lot. I guess when you’re that old and venerated, you don’t mind stepping over a few whippersnapper upstart British podcasters.

Am I the only one who can hardly understand anything Jacie is saying?

That’s most of his act

In relation to your question about The Artist, I don’t know if it’s just Glasgow but have you ever been asked when buying cinema tickets that “This film is subtitled, is that okay?”
I don’t know why, but I can’t help but feel slightly patronised when this question gets asked. Though, in saying that, I went to see a Japanese film a good few years ago and someone at the front walked out whilst loudly complaing, “Awww, it’s aw words and that” so I suppose I answered my own question there…

What Garry from Sussex does know is that a company called Knog make a hollowed out silicon frog with a light in it – it fits on your bike and flashes – so more a flash light than a Fleshlight but maybe one of the men with a tiny cock from episode 205 could adapt it somehow.
Meanwhile Jackie has taught me that if you want to be heard then only stop to breath once every twenty seconds.

You really should have taken Martin along to help ypu record the Jackie Mason interview, as (I presume) Olly has buggered it right up and i’m afraid my laptop’s speakers are going to explode…
February 24, 2012 at 9:37 pm |
My fault, I’m afraid – Jackie was so quiet, I had to use some pretty horrible post-production stuff just to make him audible…

I am late to this party but I have been slowly enjoying all these old Answer Me This’s ever since I heard your RHLSTP episode last year (yes I was late to that as well!!! I am great at coming to the party late!!). Very much enjoying the questions, answers and general banter. They make my walks with the dog most enjoyable! I now listen to the new ones when the come out and the old ones in between. You answer all the things I never knew I needed to know, but am glad that I do know now.
My head hurts now. Bye!!
