Lionel Stander is in it.
Frank SantopadreHOST
I think there's a cameo, a very quick shot of Sam Fuller, the director.
Frank SantopadreHOST
Robert Stack, of all people, who would go on to be funny in Airplane, I don't think he had done anything funny to this point, plays General Stilwell, who was a real guy, who cries when he goes to see Dumbo.
Mike SeibertHOST

Mike SeibertHOST
I think I, I aspire to be a salty old radio guy, like, like Neil Ross or Lionel Stander or, or Jack Angel.
Mike SeibertHOST

Cory LanhamGUEST
I think that Kup is, like, uh, kinda undersung in terms of, like, how, uh, how great his, like, whole performance is and how he bounces off of...
Cory LanhamGUEST
He makes Hot Rod better.
Cory LanhamGUEST
Like, all the time you get to spend with Hot Rod, or I should say all the time you have to spend with Hot Rod-

Lionel Stander is Kup, the grizzled old veteran.
JustinHOST
Grizzled old man.
KevinHOST
Basically the new Ironhide.
JustinHOST

JustinHOST
And they said that, uh, I can't rem- I think it was Neil Ross that said this.
JustinHOST
He said, "When you hear the name Lionel Stander, you're thinking of this tall, thin, British-
BradHOST
