What's all this, then? Tony Perkins discussing the WORST of The Beatles? This you gotta hear. Gary makes a bold fashion choice that may be illegal in some states. Tony lets loose and talks about the ironically named Little Richard. Gary spills the tea on Miltie, Soupy, Pinky, and the Captain. Some thoughts on changing racial standards and... why does pleading the fifth make us think "GUILTY!"?
Words are fun. Even old ones! On this episode, Tony and Gary recall their experiences covering Hurricane Charley on location in 2004... with thrilling danger, medical emergencies, surging seas, sideways wind, and Nutrigrain bars. Spoiler alert: They both survived, but the story of their partnership is one for the ages. Gary? Not a soccer guy. Tony? Not a cooties guy. The show explains Judge Judy... and we can all appreciate the classy business of Public Relations. It's a HOME RUN!
Good News: The show quality remains high despite the DC air quality. Guess who got a haircut? HINT: It was one of the show hosts that used to have an afro. Stick Shift Schtick (Schtick shift?)... We have an exciting game of deep knowledge... and somehow, we talk about the Mills Brothers (as one does). Yes sir, General!
Does Gary have a bad well? Does Tony have "Breaking News"? Is Robb "The Villain"? Should your toolbox include sausage? Well... the answer to all of these questions (and more) is yes. And no. Plus, Tony in the media. Gary is sporadically handy, Behind the scenes with S and J. Plus, what about Pangborn and Farr? Come out to play...
BONUS ENCORE! This week, it's a look back at the first episode of YGBKM so we can show you how far we've come. It's still Tony and Gary (of course) but we think you'll enjoy seeing how the podcast has evolved. Plus, it may inspire some of the new "Warriors" to go back and listen to earlier episodes. We'll be back next week and you don't wanna miss it... Gary has had quite the week (!). Find out why we're calling him "Mr Blandings"... on the next episode of YGBKM.
Hey Warriors... come out to play! Tony takes on "big credit"... does he stand a chance? Gary debuts a gameshow that allows you to play along at home (if you dare). Larry David has a new show... where are the martians... and Robb grabs the reins for "Since We Last Saw You". It's "The Show With Two Heads!"!
There's no business like show business, so we take some time to talk with entertainment correspondent Tionah Lee (Entertainment Tonight, E!, BET...). We talk about hot Summer concerts and the legacy of Clive Davis. Gary takes on "Big Motel". There is a wonderful and joyful reunion, an apology, and two of the worst sex-perts you ever heard. Plus, Gary got his certificate.
How can you be shorter than someone who's the same height as you? Get ready for Training Day. Tony still buys the 'bloids and shares Gary's Birthday Horoscope. Oh yes! It's Gary's birthday! Let joy be unconfined. Plus, psychic raccoons, Byron Allen, altered pronouns, Tony's emails... and the age-old question: Why do you do a podcast if you're not funny?
Tony has a touch of laryngitis... but the show must go on! This week, a remarkable interview with Gary's idol, Sugar Ray Leonard. Plus, eBay nonsense, clickbait, and Episode Three of our exclusive serial "The Amazing Return of Sal & Junior", For more info about The Nathan's Cancer Slayers Charity Event, please visit https://www.arlnow.com/announcements/cocktails-for-a-cause-silent-auction-honors-arlington-student-nathan-fleming-1247/. Thank you.
Today, we are joined by extraordinary jazz singer (and now rock singer): Sarah Partridge. Oh, yeah... she's also married to Gary Stein (so there's that). It's an amazing interview for anyone who appreciates the art of music. We have episode two of our amazing serial with Sal and Junior... and Tony is HIGH (?), Plus: Macca, Gary's political machine, and the Broadway lottery.

You Gotta Be Kidding Me! is the newly rebranded podcast from longtime friends Tony Perkins and Gary Stein—and it’s exactly…
Tony, a Washington, DC television anchor and former Good Morning America personality, teams up with his longtime GMA producer, cohort, and partner-in-crime Gary Stein for a weekly conversation that feels like you’ve pulled up a chair with two friends who’ve seen everything and aren’t afraid to react to it.
Each episode delivers sharp observations, unexpected laughs, real-life stories, and conversations that regularly land somewhere between “that’s hilarious” and “you’ve gotta be kidding me.” Interviews pop up, hot takes are guaranteed, and the chemistry is the whole point.
Same voices. Same friendship. A brand-new name—and even more reasons to laugh, shake your head, and keep listening.
