Scott Pelley is on assignment.

And we didn't stop till we got kicked on out of that bar and it was the best night of my life. She is a hoot and a half. Well you go by Aunt Kitty. I do.

We reached out to Amy and since she couldn't have been there, she says, you've got to get my friend Aunt Kitty.

Starting point is 00:03:14 Now, of course, I have to tell you both, and excuse me, because this is not the most dignified thing, but I'm a huge fan. Oh, of this podcast? Of this podcast? Oh, Dalton and Mutt and the whole Bananza World. Well, that is a refreshing change. I have a little confession of my own. I'm quite a fan of you. Well, I, I, your face does look familiar. Where are you, where the two of you have, uh, met before? Well, I run a little establishment out in Harumph, Nevada. The town of Harumpf? That's right.

Starting point is 00:03:45 Oh yeah. The town of Harump, Nevada. And I've had Mutt Inn before and he, for a while, was one of my best customers. Oh really? Yeah, but then I didn't want to shop around anymore. I always want to go to the top, Aunt Kitty, and she only has so much time for all her fellows. Wait a minute I'm getting some kind of a feeling about just the way you two is talking about this business. What's your business out there in her rumpf? Well it's called Aunt Kitty's Good Time Titties and Family Fun Center. Okay good time titties what kind of a business is it now? Just like it sounds friend. Well there's a twist though. Oh okay a titty twist a twist. A tiii. A twit. A twit. A twi. A twi. A twi. A twi twi twi twi twi twi twi twi twi twi twi twit. What. What tis. What tis. What tis-tis. What's tis. What's tie.

Starting point is 00:04:25 though. Oh okay a kitty twist. A kitty twist. You know it's not your daddy's brothel is all all all say because we have a range of activities for the entire family at Aunt Kitties. Okay so but it is a brothel. It is definitely 100% a brothel. So part of it is your daddy's brothel. That's just also your mommy's, your babies, your sisters, sons and daughters. That's right. We have activities for all ages. We have a big old slide.

Starting point is 00:04:58 We have a bounce house. We got clowns. Of course, is that bounce house used just for the family part or for some of the, you know what I mean? Now, that's just for the kiddos. I've been trying to get you in there for what's going on two to four years. I've been known to go bouncing. Oh my.

Starting point is 00:05:16 Oh boy. Excuse me. Careful with. Oh, the to mind seeing good titt titt titt titt titt titt titt titt titt titt titt titt titt titt titt titt titt titt titt titts titts titties titties titties titties titties titties titties tody's today to todays. to be to be to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to tooes tooes tooes tooes tooes today today today. today. today. the te. the te. the te. the te. te. the tooooooes. tooes. tooes. to me. I wouldn't mind seeing good time titties in the bounce house. I'll tell you that right now. Well, well anything can be arranged because Miss Kitty's is where dreams come true. We have clowns. We have magicians. All of my girls can also, they're also registered official balloon animal makers.

Starting point is 00:05:42 Who do they register with? The community of balloon animals out in her own. Okay. Well, man, that's official man. They have they have little vests with badges on them. Do they? That they have to wear if they're going to make balloon animals. Well good. I'm glad to hear there's some goddamn regulation of the balloon animal business for Christ's sakes. Yeah, that's been running a muck a muck the ballooning balloon balloon balloon balloon balloon balloon balloon balloon balloon balloon balloon balloon balloon balloon balloon balloon balloon balloon balloon balloon balloon balloon. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. th. Yeah. Yeah. that's a b. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. that's. that's. that's. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. Yeah. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. Yeah. that's. Yeah. the. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's muck for too long. No kidding. Anybody can do balloon animals ends up looking, oh I made you a balloon worm or a balloon snake. Fuck you, I'm so mad at you. Yeah, goddemean. Well snakes, they do make a lot of snakes. And swords, and giraffes, mostly neck, mostly this giraffe is all neck.

Starting point is 00:06:23 It's basically the neck of a giraffe. So only the neck of the giraffe. The neck of the giraffe. I see. Yeah, okay. All right, I get it. But this is, I like this idea because you know how sometimes you'll have a couple and they've gone their separate ways but daddy every once and while needs to look after the child.

Starting point is 00:06:42 And he, now he's a bachelor, he wants to go to a brothel and get laid, but he's stuck with this child. So you've gone and solved his problem in a hundred different ways. He can go there and have all the fun he wants, drop the kid off with a goddamn clown or a balloon snake. And it's all, it's all took care of. I couldn't believe it hadn't been done before, but apparently I'm the first. Wow, you're an innovator. Now, it doesn't always have to be just a bachelor, right? You can bring the whole family wife and all.

Starting point is 00:07:10 Oh, sure. We have lots of goods for women, too, so it's not the brothel is not just for men. What do you got for the women? our security guard is available and he's also magician. It meaning he does magic tricks or he's a real magic man. Well, I'll say both. Okay. Okay, so a happily married couple can come to your place to business with their children. Children go to the bounce house.

Starting point is 00:07:39 He goes and picks out one of them. I don't know, do you still call them horrors these days or what do you call them? I call them my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my my gals. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. the the the the th. th. th. th. th. thi. the the thi. th. th. th. th. th. their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. Oh. Oh. their. Oh. Oh. Oh. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. th. th. th. th. th. t. te. te. te. toge. te. te. te. too. te. the too. their their their, do you still call them horrors these days or what do you call them? I call them my gals. Okay, go picks out one of your gals and then his wife, she can hang out with this, with Chris. And Chris is great. Uh-huh. It's just the one fellow. It's just one guy. There's less demand for the fellows, but Chris is great. He's got really long gorgeous hair. He's about six foot five, four hundred pounds. Okay, that's a big man. He does magic. Is that all muscle or all not muscle? I'd say it's about 70-30. Don't tell me which. But he's a big boy, nonetheless. He's a big boy. And I guess he's always ready to go, huh? That's right. He's always ready to go.

Starting point is 00:08:28 He can pull a rabbit out of your hat. Oh my. Does he ever make a balloon animal of his ready to go? It's off menu. Oh, you just got a note of ass. They're not going to put that up there on the board for the children to see. You know, you can get a giraffe neck or a sword or Chris's Johnson. It's the same as the giraffe neck. It's very similar. I see.

Starting point is 00:08:50 That's what they call it. But we do two little balls at the end. You know, you twist them. And that's risky business doing that because that can pop. In real life, in real life, in real, in real, in real, the the the the the the the the the the the twist them enough. Well man oh man I like this idea you just you're open what seven days a week 24 hours of the big? That's exactly right and we have a teen zone. Oh of course what's going? For the teens we have a soda fountain which they love. Teen love soda and there are no restrictions on

Starting point is 00:09:21 this thing I mean they can drink as much as they want. They can combine sodas, I guess. Oh, absolutely. You're the sizzler of soda fountains. Well, thank you. You're welcome. Okay, well, it sounds marvelous. And I'm thrilled for you. You really should check it out.

Starting point is 00:09:38 I can vouch. Now, I'm no stranger to this place, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm the th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thin. thin. tho. th. th. tho. thi. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. to. to. tho. tho. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to. thi. to. thi. to. thi. too the the to to to to to to to to to to thi've got multiple ones. That's right, buy nine get your tenth on the house. That's right. And literally you go up on top of the house with, well my last time up on top the house was with Priscilla and she, wow I mean, she was able to reroof the house if you know what I mean. No I don't. Neither do I. Oh man but you guys have been up on the roof a few times I guess. Oh yeah you've had a few on the house. That's right. My goodness I'm gonna have to check it out. Do you pre-screen your girls for monsterism? You know what I mean? Yeah of course we do. They are screened for screened for everything. You do the mirror test? Absolutely. You check them for bolts on their necks.

Starting point is 00:10:27 We do. And we make sure they're not witches. Yeah, yeah. What's your witch test? We dunk them. We put them in the dunk tank. Okay. Oh, you got a dunk test is that if they float, they're a witch if they drown, they're not.

Starting point is 00:10:45 So how are you ending up with workable gals? Well, the dunk, we just say if they get dunked, they're not a witch. Okay, that makes good sense. Okay, I think I get that. So if you're in the dunk tank and people's throwing balls and they're throwing balls, they're using their black magic to divert the balls. Okay, that makes perfect sense to me. Too bad they didn't have dunk tanks back in the Middle Ages. Would have been a lot of girls not killed.

Starting point is 00:11:15 You know. Well, hey, you're a big fan of Bonanza too. I love it. It's my favorite TV show. Oh boy, I love those Bananza Boys. They're always up to no good. What's your favorite episode? Episode 201? What happens in that one? Is that the first episode of season two? That's exactly right. Remember Little Bananza Stubbs his toe? Hang on now, Little Banan. It was a C story. You're talking about Little Joe, I guess. Little Joe stubs his to toe. She calls them Little Banza. And then they all go to the ball.

Starting point is 00:11:52 Oh, did they? They then went to a social in that episode. Just as they did in two episode one's coming right up for us so I look forward to compare notes. Right around the corner I'm surprised you remember it so clearly and that's the one with the horses too. What happened with the horses? They're coming in and out and going all around and the horses they're coming in there that one horses the brown ones back. Chubb? Chubb or coach yes yep chubs. Okay he's my favorite he's your favorite horse that's that's th th that's th th th th th th that's th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the th the the the the th the the thu- the the the thu- thu- the thu- the the the tho- the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th is th is thu- thu- thu- thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-s.

Uh, so we're just, everything we've said so far, I guess we'll let it out.

Starting point is 00:13:37 Hello, friend, come on inthis and slap it on the front. Or, well, welcome to Bananas for Bananza. I'm your host, all I said that part. Everything's gonna be. Brett, you just work it out, goddame it. Stop it, Brett. Come on. Being difficult. Yeah. This is, uh, we're today, here with Mud Taylor. And the Aunt Kitty, it's called Bitterwater.

Starting point is 00:14:07 Bitterwater. This one is dramatic. This episode has everything. It's got ticks, disease, a puppy, a woman. It's got every damn thing you'd ever want in an episode of Benaz. A surviving woman. Yep, yep, she makes it all the way to the end. And I'm excited to talking to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tooooo..... toooooooooooooooooooooooooo...... thatalk about with you guys. First, you know what I like to do, the first thing I like to do is talk about what was going on in this country when this episode aired. All right. That's right. Time capsule. Yep, little time capsule business.

Starting point is 00:14:35 Remember we get right into it. Here we go. You ready? Yep. This episode aired on April 9th, 1960. And on that date it was a Saturday, as it always is when this show was on there. This is a surprise. The number one song in the country that week was, you ready, Brett, the theme from a summer place by Percy Faith. How many weeks running now? It's been always, since we started doing this. Is this the third or fourth time, I don't know. At least.

Starting point is 00:15:06 But man, people couldn't get enough of this song. You know the song, Brett's playing it now in the background. Oh, I love it. It's good one, right? Yeah. Can you whistle it again? Do, do, do, that's pretty good. That's nice. I wonder, wow, you ought to be a championship whistler.

Starting point is 00:15:27 I am. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah. I never, I don't put that in my resume because I'm too many things. But I am a champion, I am also a champion. I am the Whistler Laureate of the West. Wow. That is impressive.

Starting point is 00:15:42 Thank you very much. But I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I that I that I that is impressive. Thank you very much, but I don't I don't want to overwhelm people with distinctions when I talk about myself. That one might tip it. Yeah, they're a humble man. That's what I am mostly. It must have sound a great me whistling that with it playing in the background probably not sinking up together. Well Brett I think you should sink that up. That sounds difficult. And if you need to change the pitch of either one or both, Brett, I think that's what you should do. And I do apologize, Brett, for I know what you're going through. That sounds difficult. But, hey, you know what, that song, a theme

Starting point is 00:16:17 from a summer place, it is similar to the theme song from Lawrence of Arabia. Is it now? Yeah, I believe it is. So, well, I guess the Arabian desert could be considered a summer place. All the time, it's permanent summers in there, desert, thing out there. Well, anyway, that's just, that's a fun fact that in my opinion, those two songs have similarities. That is fun. Well, thank you for saying that. Well, my pleasure. And, uh, okay, the number one movie in the country at this time, you're not going to believe this. It was Ben her. Oh my. That has also been the case every time we've talked about this. I can't wait for a change. A change in the number one movie? But anything. I don't know if a change is coming to other one. People in that time 1960 they got a hold something they like they say damn it I'm gonna keep on with that. This we're gonna go see Ben her again and

Starting point is 00:17:14 we're gonna listen to the thing from the Summerplace on the way there and back. It's interesting that the theme from the Summer Place is number one. Never hear about that movie. the the the th. th. th. the th. the th. th. the the th. th. the th. the th. th. th. the th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. the the the the the thi. thi. thi. I's thi. I thi. I them. I them. I I them. I I I them. It's thi. It's thi. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's is th. It's is, th. It's is, th. It's is, the the the the the thi. It's the the thi. It's thi. It's teeeeeaneannenenea. It's tean. tean. tean. tean. teemeemeean. the the teemea. thememe number one but the movie the summer place ain't number one. Never hear about that movie. No, I've never seen it. Me either. Yeah, people hated it. Uh, why isn't the theme from Ben Hurn then? Yeah, good point. Ben Her? Rides in the cary it. Ben Her. What's he doing it for? For victory for life, for glory and life and his wife Melissa her Melissa her yeah is that really the thing for being her it is sure yeah I've never heard it before doesn't even a little bit familiar I love that I think that's been I never saw do you ever see oh no I've never seen it I've never seen it I only watched bananas yeah yeah yeah that's smart you're you're you're you're you'll never improve so so you'll never improve so so so so so so so so so so so so so you you you you you you you you you you you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that's you that's you that you that you that you that's you that's you that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's you that's you that's you that's you that's you that's you that's you that's you that's you that's you that's you that's you that's you that's you that's you'll never never never never that's you'll never never never that's you'll never never never that's you'll that's you that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's you that's you watch Bonanza. Yeah, yeah, that's smart. You're, you'll never improve so upon it. So is Ben Hur a romance movie? Not quite,

Starting point is 00:18:13 it's an epic. It's a biblical story. Is it Charles, Chuck Heston? Old Chuck Heston. He's riding around in a chariot or some shit. Yep. And I guess it's's probably if you had to choose between the scene of Ben her and Spartacus two movies I ain't seen which one would you choose? I'd say Spartacus. Yeah why? Because Stanley Kubrick made it it's got Kirk Russell, Kurt Russell, no Kirk Douglas. It's Kurt Russell's father. It should be. Kirk Douglas is Kirk Russell's father. It should be. Kirk Douglas is Kirk Russell's father.

Starting point is 00:18:48 Yeah, that's right. Right. And I think, isn't it right? And Ben, her a man died in the chariot race or something? It was about the making of that movie? I hate to hear it. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:19:00 Well, is that in the movie? Does it make it in there? I wouldn't mind if I know the movies of that time it probably had to use at least part of it. Yeah Yeah, okay Well, all right. Maybe we'll watch Ben her and Spartacus at the same time Two different TVs see what happens. We've got also on this date April 9th 1960s South African Prime Minister Hendrick Verward survived an assassination attempt despite being shot in the face twice! Jesus! Wow! That happened to one of my girls! What? Yeah, Nancy! Really? She got it? Yeah, two bullets from, came right in the middle, right through the ears. And she survived. She survived. She bounced back out. Somebody shot her, it must have been two different people, shooting her in her ears at the same time. And bounce right back out.

Starting point is 00:19:49 Unless it was one person spreading his arms and standing real close to her. Yeah, yeah, he must have had long arms. And the bullets met in the middle and bounced right back out the same way they came in. A miracle. That is a miracle. And did no brain damage or jaw. There's, there's there's a lot of brain things. Oh, I see. But she did survive. Oh, yes, it made the paper. What's she do around the Fun Center now? Well, now we have her, she's one of the clowns. And she loves it. I mean, she's not. She gets so many tips. What kind of clowning she do? She does well she does a lot the big shoes she wears those funny big shoes the kids love that's just

Starting point is 00:20:30 wearing. She loves to chase the kids around she wears those big shoes so she's falls. She pursues the children. She falls a lot because the shoes are so big and we all laugh and laugh. Okay yeah. That's great. Yeah, she loves it. I will say as a frequenter of the Family Fun Center, that is the one thing I've noticed that leaves me slightly off-kilter every time I go. Is Nancy in the clown shoes? But she's having fun!

Starting point is 00:20:58 I will say she's in no other clown costume or makeup. And actually those aren't thoclclcl borrow Chris's shoes because his feet are so damn big she just put those. I see. They're they're just big old Converse sneakers and she's flapping around chasing after the kids. Now you say chasing after the kids I saw it as a sort of escape or flight. You got her penned in pretty good there? Well the whole thing is gated off because we don't ever want the kids to make it into the main house of the establishment. So there's, yes, there's a barbed wire all around. I see.

Starting point is 00:21:34 Okay, yeah. Well, you know what? I bet you brain damaged clown is not an unusual occurrence. That's true. You kind of have to be to go into that that line that line that line that line that line that line that that that the the the the the the the the the the th. the the th. the the the thoes. the the the the thoom. thoom. thoom. the thoom. thoes. thoomorrow. to. to. to. to. to. to be. to be.

Don't you don't want those clams coming after you. Nancy, believe me. Well, this, this Prime Minister, South Africa got shot two times in the face and and went on to live a very happy life. 1966, six years later. A happy if dimpled life. If dimpled.

Starting point is 00:22:07 Six years later, he was successfully assassinated with a knife. Oh fine. Oh, so it was the choice of weapon that was the problem. He was impervious to bullets. Well, that's a shame. But the knife did him in. Yep, I guess he was a son of a bitch. Well, and as for celebrity birthdays, born on this day, April 9, 1960, you have Yacob, the Minister of Education and Research for the Nation of Estonia.

Starting point is 00:22:33 He's phenomenal. I know, right? He previously served as the Minister of Public Administration and the Minister of Social Affairs over the Estonia, and that is a, that's the biggest celebrity I could find who was born on April 19, 19, 19th, 1960s. He was a, you, you, you, you, you, you, he he he he he he he he he he he he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he was he was he was he, he was th, he was th, he was th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, you, you, you, you, you, th.

Oh, and I, yak-ob. I looked up how to pronounce it. I didn't want to get it wrong. Wow, impressive. You know how you can go to some website and you say I had to pronounce this and then it's some robot lady says yawk. Oh yeah ob. Yeah, bob. So it's ya-a There's also a fun little news story out of Nevada. Speaking of Nevada, that's where you are. That's where Bonanza takes place, is Northern

Starting point is 00:23:33 Nevada no less. There's an article about how. This is a great article right up my island. It's an article about saying that a herd of cattle that have been grazing for two years on the Atomic Energy Commission's 600 square mile proving ground which was the scene of 93 atomic explosions this herd of cattle was doing just fine. Oh! At what point was it doing just fine? April 9th? As of April 9th, 1960, they says between 1951 and I don't know when, 1960 I guess, they had blown up 93 atomic bombs up there.

Starting point is 00:24:08 I say give that cattle a few more years to see how they're doing. Nope, they said they're just fine. Wow. They're reproducing just fine, they're happy. I'll bet they are. Just multiplying. Yep. And there's a fella who, when they said, hey, we're going to put the cows the cows the cows the cows the cows the cows the cows the cows the cows the cows the cows the cows the cows their their their their their their their their their their their their their their a, and there's a fella who, uh, when they said, hey, we're gonna put cows on this land and see what happens to them. We need a cowboy to brussel them up here and there.

Starting point is 00:24:29 This fella stepped forward, fellow by the name of Kenneth Case, and he called himself the world's only atomic cowboy. Wow, what a hero. Oh, I love that. Now, how long did he lulled that th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho. tho. that. the. tho, tho, th. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. theeeea. thea. theea. thoooooooooooo. the. the. to find out that very thing and I was not successful. Really? I think he probably was perhaps not authorized to give this interview and was disappeared immediately afterwards. I see that makes more sense. Well, he's always welcome at Aunt Kitty's Good Time Titties. You got any atomic hoars? Not yet, but maybe.

Starting point is 00:24:59 They might, because we are close to the grass patch where they pull up the bomb. The girls love to roll in it. Oh do they? Yeah, out in the sunshine. Wow. This fell akin to Kay, the only other thing I can find about him, this article came out and then about a week later he was on a game show, one of those like, what's my line? Oh yeah. Tad the that. Tad-T-The thin thininininininininininininin, like thin, like thin, like thin, like thin, like thin, like thin, like thin, like thin, like thin, like thin, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like the the their their th. their th. th. th. th. tho, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the the the the the the the the the the the they. they. they. they. they. they. they. the they. the the the the the the they. the the they. the th. th. the. th. the. on there and then he'd vanish from the face of the earth. Oh, I'd like, I'd like write a song about him. The Atomic Cowboy? Yeah. All right, do it. Okay. Who's stopping you?

Starting point is 00:25:32 Go on? What's it sound like? Oh, well, there once was a man who's riding the range. His silhouette a thiweigh. That look to might as strange where there was a head there was also a leg and where there was a foot there was a peg. Atomic cowboy, you can marry my daughter. Atomic cowboy, what you've been drinking, what's in that water boy? Beautiful. Thank you. drinking what's in that water boy beautiful that was lovely that very good I

Starting point is 00:26:09 hope it sounded good with the theme from a summer place playing that I'm sure it did Brett could you sink that up now I don't care if you got to change the pitch on one or both just make sure it works and now that now you can fade out the theme from a summer place, playing that whole damn time. Okay, so that's all that, what's all going on there, April 9, 1960. Good stuff, huh? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:26:32 Yeah, right? Different world. You want to hear some fun facts about this episode of Bonanza? Sure do I. Do I? Do I know you love the show, but how much do you the, the, to, to, to, the, to, the, to, the, the, to, the, the, to, the, the, to, the, the, the, th, th, the, the, th, the, th, tho, to, to, tho, the, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th...... thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, tho, thoooooooooooooooooooooooo, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, the show, but how much do you get into the nuts and bolts of the production or the behind the scenes? I do not want to know how the pudding's made. Oh, really?

Starting point is 00:26:49 Oh, no, I'll do it for you and I like to hear it on the podcast, but I don't get on that Google, that internet. I don't trust it. I don't know whothat. I have no idea who has provided the information I'm sharing with you. That's fine I'm sure it's real. Anybody that appreciates the show Bonanza is an upstanding individual so by definition can be trusted. I think that is true. I think that is true. That's probably true. What possible reason would you have to lie about any aspect of Bonanza? Unless you're a gunsmoke fan or a Deadwood boy, then you might be putting up false information.

Starting point is 00:27:28 I rescind my earlier comment. Good point. Good point. What's gunsmoke? I never heard of that before. I may either. Well, this episode was directed by a fellow by the name of George Blair Blair. This was the only episode of Bonanza he directed a lot of episodes of the Adventures of Superman, he did with George Reeves, and he has two very exciting movies. One is called Insurance Investigator. And the other is called Post Office Investigator. Is that right? Yeah, these have exclamation marks in the title? I wish. They don't need them. They don't need them. You know how to read it. There's no other way to read it.

Starting point is 00:28:08 Try to read that in a boring way. Insurance investigator. You can't. Insurance. Investigator. You got a right. Oh, it's a right. Insurance Investigator. You can't do it. You got a twinkle in your eye, Miss Kitty. It's like try to say the word macaroni without smiling.

Starting point is 00:28:29 You can't do it. Macaroni. Oh, macaroni. Same way you can't say, insurance investigator without excitement in your voice. Whicksh! Hot damn! So those are two very exciting movies George Blair did. Hey, now, here, this is going th are two very exciting movies George Blair did. Hey, now here, this is gonna blow your mind, I think.

Starting point is 00:28:45 Are you ready to have your mind blown? Yeah, always. This episode was written by a fella named Harold toll, he and Raul Doll wrote, you only live twice. What? I knew Roald Dahl did, but I didn't recognize the other fellow's name. How about it? And that would have been 65? So yeah. Five years from now he's gonna write a James Bond movie, which to this point

Starting point is 00:29:10 doesn't even exist. Is that right? 62 is gold, Dr. No finger. Oh, Dr. No finger. Yeah. I got a no finger. You know what I got one finger that I pull out when I need to say no. I'm not gonna tell you what you it is. When you need to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to to say to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. to tell you what it is when you need to say no when you need to say no to somebody I have one finger that I pull out and I put in the air and then I say no That's and you hold it with two other fingers and wag it like you otherwise would wagging your finger because that finger. Oh, I see and you keep it off of somebody. I don't want to get into it. Okay. Yes. It didn't start out as my finger. Started out as somebody who grow down in a different body, but I have it now. That's my no finger. Wow. And it's not a doctor. But now... You only live. What happens there and you only live twice? Is that a good one? It's pretty good in that they go to Japan. Oh yeah. And gets real odd when they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they th th th th th th to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th th th to to to to to to th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. It didn't didn't th. It th. It th. It th. It th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi to thi to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi thi thi thi thi thi the the you only live twice. Is that a good one? It's pretty good in that they go to Japan and gets real odd when they try to make Sean Connery into an authentic Japanese man including prosthetic islands. Oh right, I've seen this. Yeah, it's it's rough in that sense but it also has the largest and most expensive set

Starting point is 00:30:18 to the time which is Blofeld's Volkina. Now what's interesting is there is virtually nothing from the novel in the movie and the new James Bond, no time to die has more of the novel of You Only Live Twice than the film does. Isn't that something? Do you, can you tell that Rawl Dole had his fingers in? Oh sure because Charlie from Charlie from Charlie from the Chocolate Factory? Charlie Bucket, Augustus Gloop, Veronica Balker. They all come into the drinkers bonkets, Blomfeldslayers say, Mommy, Daddy, I want a Blofeld Ninja now.

Starting point is 00:30:52 That makes sense. Don't drink out of that river of lava. How could you resist though? Augustus Gloop drinking from a river of lava. It should have been the novel because in the novel Blofeld has a poisonous garden of death and it would be like Willie Wonka's chocolate factory. It just invite these kids in. In fact, I think the thing is that citizens who want to commit suicide are known that they should jump the wall and come in and eat some of the flowers so he keeps finding dead people.

Starting point is 00:31:22 Oh and that's in the book? Yeah. Wow. Also James Bond has amnesia and gets, I believe he has a son. He has a child. He does. He does? James Bond has a child? Yeah. Wow. See you know what I'm saying with no time? No, it sounds fascinating. How excited? Hey, let me ask you speaking of James Bonnese. Sure. thinne. the thinne. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the th. the the the th. the the the the th. the the the the the the the the he the he the he he the he he he he he has he has a son he has a son he has a son he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he th. th. th. th. thus the son son the son the son thus. the son the son the son the son the son the son the son the son the son. the son. he he he deserve to be in this episode. I think it's different by the setup already. All right. There's a moment in one of them more recent movies where a bad guy says to him I'm gonna drill a tiny hole in your brain and you're not gonna remember anything anymore and he goes ahead and he does it. Oh that's blow felt. Oh that's blow felt. that's it. Right. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the he. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. That's. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. Oh. Oh. That's. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. That's. Oh. That's. That's. Oh. Oh. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. Oh. That's. Oh. That's. Oh. That's. Oh. Oh. That's. Oh. Oh. That's. Oh. Oh. That's. Oh. That's. That's. That's. Oh. That's. That's. That's. Oh.thing. And then, James Bond gets out of there and he remembers everything just fine. What's going on there? I believe he says, if I get it right. Oh, I see.

Starting point is 00:32:12 So he's got to like do it, possibly he'll get it on the first time. Oh, I see. But he must have missed it. But there's. Yeah, right before he says I love you to a woman he just met. Oh, or she says it to him. Oh, right. Okay, but he for here forward has a tiny hole in his brain from a tiny drill. I think he's got two. Oh, he's got two. Yeah. Tough way to go through life just like your, your clown there. That's right. Oh, she's having fun. Oh, she's chasing those kid. Oh, to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th th th th th th th he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he he says he says he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he says he says he he says it he says it he says it he says it to he says it to to to to to to to to he says it he says it to he says it he says it he says it's loving it. Oh, she's chasing those kiddos all around. She's loving it. Laughing it. Laughing it, laughing all the time. Yeah. Just hands out grabbing. Last time I saw her, she was eating her way through a sack of flower. I mean, we let the girls have whatever they like, we got tons of snacks for the gals. You said the girls the girls the girls the girls the girls the girls the girls. We let the girls the girls. We let the girls. We let the girls. We let the girls. We let the girls. We let the girls. We let the girls the girls. We let the girls the girls the girls the girls the girls the girls the girls the girls. We let the girls. We let th. We let the girls. We'll the girls. We'll the girls.

You said the only thing she's wearing that's clown like is those big shoes. What else is she got on? I just

Starting point is 00:33:07 want a visual picture. It's usually some sort of floral robe. Okay yeah floral robe. So she's not working as a gal anymore. Oh no no she's graduated to clown. Graduated. Wow. We pay the clowns well. I mean, I told you, she's making tips up the wazoo. It's no joke. I don't know how to take that phrase. Tips up the wazoo? In this context. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:33:33 Yeah, you should give her a tip jar. Oh, yeah. Well, this is was played by a fellow named Don Dubbins. He was in a bunch of stuff, lots of Dragnet episodes, but this is a thing that excited me. He was in an episode of The Incredible Hulk. Oh, in which David Banner is temporar-aulter through some chemical accident. Now that must mean the Incredible Hulk is blinded too. Right. Can you imagine that? A big blind Hulk. A big blind Hulk? That's a bull in a China shop for you. No kidding. They must have said to themselves, how can we make the Hulk more dangerous? There's no way to do it. Wait, what if he can't see where he's going?

Starting point is 00:34:14 Talk about blind rage, blind fury. Yeah, blind gamut. We might have to watch that one. We might have to watch that one. I can't can't the the the the th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might the the the the the the the the to watch.

I can't wait to say the incredible hulk. Can't see where he's going. Doesn't understand what's happening. Turn out. Oh, how scary? That's a good one. Well, Don Dubbins was in that. Don Dubbins also, here, this will come up later. His last performance was as Willie Lohman in the death of a salesman at. That's the one to see.

Starting point is 00:34:45 And just file that away because it's coming up like, now, Mary Andrews played Virginia, Keith, she's in a movie called The Dalton Girls. Whoa! I read that and I says, I got to get myself, wow. Get myself some girls. It's about the sisters of the Dalton gang or some shit, but it did make me think, and I don't know, maybe you know something about, what if I, everywhere I went, was trailed by, I don't know, five or six girls? I think that sounds great. He probably set them up with that, couldn't you? Of course. Oh yeah,

Starting point is 00:35:16 well. I know one specifically. You'll get you though in those big shoes. I know one. I know, thin't, th th th th th th th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho, thi, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, they where where where where where where, I tho, I tho, I tho, where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where where, I their, I their, I their, I their, I their, I their, I th.

I thea. I thea. I thea. I thea. I thea. I thea, I the a They'd love it. A little game of Follow the Leader. Yeah, a little something. I don't know, just give me that idea of the dog girls. I like it. I like the name. Like the little duckies trailing behind their Mama Duck. Yeah. And you're the mama duck.

Starting point is 00:35:34 Hey, all right. I don't know about that. That seems. Well, Mary Andrews was also in a movie called Tickle Me. Let me tell you what this is. This is Elvis Presley. Gets a job as a ranch hand on a ranch, but it turns out to be a fitness salon. Oh, referred to as yogurt gulch where actresses and models go to lose weight and get in shape. Oh, that sounds fun. The one with the yoga song?

Starting point is 00:36:03 I love that song. It must must th, Elvis, Elvis, Elvis, Elvis, Elvis, Elvis, Elvis, Elvis, Elvis, Elvis, Elvis, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tho, tho, thus, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha.

Oh, I gotta see this. I've showed it to you. I mean, at the, you know what I mean, at the ranch. Oh yeah.

Starting point is 00:36:15 It's super catchy. It's probably Tickle. That yoga song. I'm gonna look it up right now, God's damn. Put in Elvis and Yoga is as Yoga does or something. Elvis? Well, who's the old woman in it? No, she's not old, but. Uh, she's like.

Starting point is 00:36:36 the yoga is as yoga does.

All right. That's an ad, goddemnit. That ain't it. That ain't Elvis. Your video will play after the ad? When do they decide to do that to me and they don't give me the choice to get it

Starting point is 00:36:58 sometimes that's the client pays more to do that. Sons of bitches. Yeah. All right. Here we go. Wait, that's my brightness. I wonder if this is from that movie. It must be. You'd think. It's It's

Starting point is 00:37:13 You're either with it on the ball. Or you blow the scene. I can see looking at you. What's happening in the video? They're in a yoga room, right? Oh. Oh, the video's even better. Oh, the video's even better. Real simple song.

Starting point is 00:37:43 That's a hell of a song. That's a hell of a song. I can hear the pills clinking in the background. I can't remember who the yoga mistress is. She's some famous actress. Oh well. Yeah. Well, okay. That's a great song. Is it Elsa Lanches? No, it can't be. In the movie Tickle Me? Well, whoever, whatever movie that's a great song. Is it Elsa Lanches? No, it can't be. Sorry.

Starting point is 00:38:05 In the movie, Tickle Me? Well, whoever, whatever movie the yoga one comes from. It's gotta be this one. How could it not be? Ah, he did. Boy, yeah. Good for you, Elvis. He really, that seemed like it must have been the the scene.

Starting point is 00:38:25 Blow the scene, man. Talk about a well-managed career. From beginning to end. Well, okay. This episode also featured a fellow by the name of Robert F. Simon. He played Len Keith in this episode. He was the understudy to Lee J. Cobb in the original production of Death of a Salesman. We live alone. Wow, real theme. Yeah, real the the the the th. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Yeah. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Yeah. Talk.

He was the understudy to Lee J. Cobb in the original production of Death of a Salesman. Willowman. Oh, wow, real theme. Yeah. Yeah, you imagine that? Understudy to

Starting point is 00:38:52 the most famous role in theater. Almost. So close. So close. No cigar. He was in a movie called, well, he was in one movie called The First Traveling Sales Lady. Oh. These all sounds so good. Right? That's interesting to me. But he was also in a movie. This one's crazy. It was called Rougie's Bump.

Starting point is 00:39:13 Ruggie's Bump. Ruggie's Bump. Ruggie's Bump. Okay. I've seen Boogie's Rump. I've seen Boogie's Rump, but I've never seen Ruggie's Bung. Well, that was the problem. They, but they two got confused. The plot of this one is, a young boy who loves baseball, develops a strange bump on his arm. Wow. The bump has such an effect on his pitching arm

Starting point is 00:39:33 that he soon finds himself playing for a major league baseball team. What year was this made? What year was this made? Is the bump evil? We don't know. It's helping him in some way. It has to be a catch. It sounds to me like the old fairy tale about the red shoes. The dancing shoes. What's that? Did shoes make you dance?

Starting point is 00:39:53 They make you dance, but then you die. You just dance. You just dance too much. Oh yeah. I wonder if Ruegi does. or they have to cut off his arm. Wow, that's a, that is a big one. Would you take a big bump if you could play professional baseball? Yeah. The only downside is you got a bump and some people think it's unsightly.

Starting point is 00:40:14 How big is the bump in this? I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. In mine, it's the size of a bull and ball and ball. Is it the same that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's.

A bowling ball. Is it the same mass and weight? No, it's not that heavy. It's maybe six pounds. Well, that's pretty heavy. That's heavy.

Starting point is 00:40:32 You got a six pound bump on your elbow, on your arm? Yeah. I wouldn't do it. You put it in a little bag. Look like you're always carrying a person your elbow crook. Yeah. Can you get it the drained? No, well you could but then you can't play professional baseball. I see. Well that's not too bad. Maybe I'd do it for a time. There you go. One year is a Major League Baseball player. You put it, I don't know. I was gonna say you get all them endorsement deals, but do they want to put you in a TV commercial with a bowling balling commercial? Yeah, I'd just I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd just I'd just I'd just I'd just I'd just I'd just th. I'd just th.

Yeah. Yeah. I'd that's that's that's that's bowling commercial. Yeah, I'd just pitch for two to three years and have it excised and retire on my earnings.

Starting point is 00:41:10 There you go. I don't know if a 1950s baseball player was making that much money though. I don't think so. Probably not. This current day? This is 2005. Oh, 2005. I see so. Then I think you're making a pretty good- to to to to to to to to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. th. Yeah. thi. Yeah. thi. Yeah. thi. I'd thi. I'd thi. I'd to. I'd to. I'd. I'd th. Yeah. Yeah. I'd. I'd. I'd. I'd. I'd. I'd. I'd. Yeah. Yeah. I'd. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'd. I'd. Yeah. Yeah. I'd. Yeah. I'd. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Then I think you're making a pretty good payday, but by today's standards,

Starting point is 00:41:29 Justin for inflation still probably worth it. Yeah, okay, I'm in. And you could endorse bump cream. Oh, right. That's right. They put you in a bump cream commercial. Goiter begun. What, what? Goiter be gone? Yeah, that's an example of something you could endorse.

Starting point is 00:41:48 One thing I found in my researcher this episode, which I never, I've never seen it for. I've seen many times in people's resumes that they was on the Good Year theater. And I guess I've also seen many times that they was on the Good Year Playhouse. This is the first time I realized that there's both a Good Year theater and a Good Year Playhouse Playhouse Are they affiliate? They gotta be right? Right. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:42:09 So that's just, I'm just putting a pen on that as something to explore it a later time. We often get actors been in the Schletz playhouse of Yep, Schlitz and Goodyear were major providers of entertainment in our country. All right, well that's all fun facts I found and we're going to look into that well I'm on five, I'd like to know which one was better. Good year theater, good of your playhouse. Which one is a more distinguished thing to have on your resume, goddemand? Now we're going to talk about this episode.

Starting point is 00:43:21 Wow. We got a fellow by the name of Todd McCarrion and he is surveying his land which abuts I suppose the Bonderosa. Yeah and he's going to sell it to Len Keith for mining purposes. How dare he? Yep. Todd McCarron gonna send it to sell it to Len Keith and and who comes up upon him? All the cart rides do they? I forget who. Some combination. Little Joe. Is it just not is it not just Adam?. But the the the the to to to to to to to to the to to to to to the to to to to the to to the the to to to to the the to the to to to the to the the to to to the the but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but but. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the the the the the the the the the the. the. the. the. the. But. But. But. But. I. But. I. But. I. But. I. I. But. I. But. But. But. But. But. I. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. Butthem? All the cart rides, do they? I forget who, anyway. Some combination. Joe.

Starting point is 00:43:47 Is it just not, is it not just Adam and Paul? Adam and Paul, that's right. And Adam sees what's going on. Hey, Todd McCarran, survey and what's that about? And Paul says, there's only one way to find out, let's ask him. He's only one way to find always got the answer, man. That's right. Even when he's asking. Yeah, they find out and, yeah, that's what he want. Now, the problem for the cartwrights is, that if this land is gonna be mine,

Starting point is 00:44:13 it's gonna gum up their water, because somehow the water passes through the McCarran's land that don't foul up our water with any way damn it but so this it's a problem that's why I guess why they call us a bitter water you know because Aunt Kitty and I spend so much time together we's watching Yellowstone and Outer Range and virtually every one of these shows and episodes is about people meeting at their fence saying give me this land you give me that land it's the same shit property wars property war property wars well thr-well you th that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th th th th th th that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th I th I th I thi thi thi thi thi the the the the the the the the the the the they the they the the the the the the the the the the you give me that land. It's the same shit. Property wars. Property wars.

Starting point is 00:44:47 Property wars. Well, you've got to spend your time doing something. They didn't have in the 1860s. They didn't have television shows like Mananza. If they, if the cartwrights could have watched themselves in their own antics. Oh well, speaking of antics, the next scene that we got hoss reading the book called the Care and Training of Dogs, because he has come upon a stray dog. And man on man, it's just hilarious. Him trying to get home to this dog to give him a bath.

Starting point is 00:45:19 It's so funny because those dogs get slippery when they're wet. I'll tell you what, and he he he th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, they's th, they's th, th, they's thoes thoes thoes tho, tho, tho, tho, they're thoes, tho, tho, their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their, their, their their, their, their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thoes, that, that, tho, that, tha, tha, ta' ta' ta' ta' ta' ta' ta' ta' ta' ta' t's got to give that dog bath because he's covered in ticks. He's covered in important story ticks. Oh I hate ticks. Yeah. Well is that where the ticks come from in the first place? The first time we hear about ticks the dog is responsible for the ticks. That's called foreshadowing and it. That's all for forsh- the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. tick. tick. tip. tick. tick. tick. tick. It's is important. It's is important. It's is important. It's. It's important. It's. It's important. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's important. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's.

It's important. It's important. It's important. It's important. It's important. It's important. It innocent dog. But he's got a plan to get rid of the ticks which involves this sulfur soap, soap with sulfur on it. And that's what he's going to wash this dog in. And along comes little Joe who's been, as you say, stung by a skunk. And hungung stung by a skunk. And Hauss wants to give him a bath with this sulfur soap too. They even want to hear about it. No, that's right. I mean, I can't imagine the bath probably smells really bad. Yeah, that's when I boil my eggs in the

Starting point is 00:46:10 morning. Is that the sulfur smell? Yeah, you boiled them in sulfur? Yeah, and then it's devil sulfur smell. I eat a lot of eggs. She does. She does. She does a huge figure that's how she keeps it. So then what happens there then oh they're going to a social they're all going to a social yeah I like yes Andy McCarron is the father of Todd and Ben goes to visit him I guess is this when he visits him yeah yeah and they both say oh there's no silver on this land it's thi it's silly of Todd to be talking about selling it's a lend? to to to the to to to the to to to their to to to their to to to their their their to their their to me me me me their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their their their. their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their their their their. their.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. th. they both say, oh, there's no silver on this land. It's silly of Todd to be talking about selling it to Lynn Keith. I don't think he's gonna go throw with it, don't worry. And yes, indeed, we have a water rights agreement.

Starting point is 00:46:54 He can't do any mining on everything's fine. Everything's fine between the elder McCarran and Ben Cartwright and Ben Cartwright. Right, so th, we think. Agreed. Seems like everything's fine. If the episode ended here, we'd say, well, all right, that got straight down fast. Yeah, yep. But then we go to the Lynn Keith's mansion. And he sees Todd McCarran. He says, how's my future son-in-law, which is great.

Starting point is 00:47:18 Just tells you right off they are to each other. Mango. And Todd tells, well, this water rights business, we can't, I can't sell you my land for mining because all this water rights bowl. Right? And then we got, then we're back to hoss and his puppy. Uh, why, I don't know, baby, blah, blah, blah. Then we got, oh, Ben talks to Lynn, right.

Len comes by and Ben really lays into them. These two don't like one. No, no, no. Len comes by the Ponderosa and he happens to show up during shoe brushing time. Everybody's brushing their shoes for the social time. I tee at four o'clock, shoe brushing, five o'clock.

I'm gonna get you little guy something like that. Then we're now at the social and the cartwrights are just lingering by the punch bowl and Todd McCarran is dancing with his fiancee and then and Ben says hey I found somebody to dance with and he just wordlessly grabs a woman and they just wordlessly waltz off the spots. You don't need words when you got dancing. You got chemistry. That's right.

Starting point is 00:48:46 I have a real history there, but one will never know of. Right. I think Ben gets around. It seems that way. It does. Now, what's the fiance's name, Veronica? Virginia? Virginia.

Starting point is 00:48:56 Yeah. Sometimes Jenny, she's lovely. She must have known. There there there have known there was one episode where Ben had a bit of a relationship with a woman of ill repute. Mm-hmm. Yeah. It happens. Oh sure it does. And well she died didn't she? She must have. She must have got some fever and passed away. Yeah. Well now we got, uh, so oh yeah Todd just hauls off and punches at him. And now is this is when we've get to the nut of the problem here that the But, so, oh yeah, Todd just hauls off and punches at him.

Starting point is 00:49:25 And now this is when we get to the nut of the problem here. Todd has come under the sway of his future father-in-law. That's right. Who is an evil man? And Todd has just become a constant state of anger and hatred. He really is. athe all time. What's he angry about?

Starting point is 00:49:44 I don't know, but he's always angry. He's entitled,to a certain lifestyle. That's right. And he's just not happy just being him. Yeah. And Jenny loves him just for him. Right. Right. Exactly. And she don't don't want to marry her daddy. No way. Right. So he must have had a real bear of a mama because his daddy is real sweet. Right. You know. Yeah, he's just a old coward. Wait. Is Todd and Jenny they're engaged or no? Yeah. Oh, I had it right. Of course you did. You've seen these twice. Three times. Three times now. Right. Well, now here's where we find out. Keith is, he'll be, Roy, oh, okay, yeah. Roy is one of the guys works for Lynn. He's beating the hell out of a guy in the bunk house or whatever.

Starting point is 00:50:32 And turns out this fella sold him cattle that's covered in ticks and has the Texas fever. Well, that's where the puppy got it. You don't think the puppy gave it to him? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, the monkey, oh, the monkey, the monkey, the monkey, the monkey, the monkey, the monkey, the monkey, the monkey, the the the the the the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, and, and, and then, and then, and then, and thi, and, and, and that's, and, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, the the the the the the the the the thi, the the thi... thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. that's, that's, thi. thi. th You don't think the puppy gave it to? Oh patient zero. Yeah, the monkey from outbreak. That's right. That damn monkey from outbreak gave the ticks to the dog who gave him to the cows. No, the monkey from outbreak gave the ticks to Patrick Dempsey who at the time couldn't get a leading role so he just did a small part in the opening that movie. He gave it to the dog, to the cows, went back in time and got a time machine and then... If I had a time machine, I was just thinking this, I'd go back in time and kill that monkey.

Starting point is 00:51:14 From outbreak? Not the dog from Bonanza. Outbreak. Yeah. It's the first thing you'd do with the 80s. That's right. And then I'd th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. If th. If th. If th, th, th. If th, th, th, th, th, th, thi. If I thi. If I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I was thi. I was thi. I was thi. I was thi. I was thi. I was thi. I was thi. If I thi. If to the 80s. Oh, then what? What'd you do there? I'd go have fun. Oh, really? In the 1980s. What kind of fun? I don't know, maybe I'd just go to a diner. A 50s diner from the 80s?

Starting point is 00:51:33 Oh, yeah. It's the truth. If 50s diners,the 50s dinners. That's right. Yeah, 50s diners. The 80s was the golden age of 50s diners. I'll believe it. Yeah, that's like, uh, never mind, I don't have a thought. If you opened a 50s themed diner in 1955, you, that would be crazy. No one would know. No one would know. It's just bad business. It's terrible business. So even yeah, even you put a jukebox in there people say yes that's what we have. Yeah. Okay so cows are dying and so on and so forth. Now here's something interesting. There is a shot I guess they call it an

Starting point is 00:52:21 establishing shot. Here's the pudding being made. A Virginia City, where it's a bustling street scene in Virginia City. And I'm looking at it and I says, hey, I've seen that before. Because there's a shot of a Native American people's person, fighting over a jug of something with another guy. And that happened in episode 127, the last trophy, that very same shot. And now it's got me wondering how many damn times they've had it. I only noticed it and I don't know why I noticed it in 127. Well we got to start keeping tabs. We got to keep tabs on Native American people's person fighting over jug establishing shot of Virginia City how many times they use it by the way.

Starting point is 00:53:01 By the way did this episode have the Bonanza theme song for you? Uh, yeah. Ours, we watched together, we was cuddling and bed. Oh my goodness, you too, I like it. Listen to me. We first washed it on Plex, but something was up with the server and it just got all pixley, so we went to YouTube and it had a different song, not a one that they replaced it with before. this was th th th th the the the the the th, the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, thean, toge an, toge, toge, toge, toge, toge, togu. togu. togu. tog, not the one that they replaced it with before. This was a different one. What the hell is going on? Can you believe that? I can't believe it. I don't want to believe it. I don't know what to go.

Starting point is 00:53:31 It was messing around with the goddamn thing song. That's a perfect theme song. Does this episode of Burning Map? Let me check my notes. Oh, yes, I'm sorry, I've neglected to say this is the 29th episode of Bonanza to feature the burning map. That's one of the fun facts. Yeah, can you believe that? Wow.

Starting point is 00:53:51 That's wild. Okay. So, now, what I just tell you, I told you about that Virginia City thing. Oh, okay. They come up with an idea to heal all of the cattle, which is a sulfur dip. Genius. Yeah, I believe Ben Cartwright solved a major problem of the world was facing it this time. Exactly.

Starting point is 00:54:14 He come up with, because it's true, all these kettles was getting Texas fever, and the way to solve it was you go ahead and you fill up a pit full of sulfur and water, and then you force the cows into it and out of it and that's it and that's it. Yeah you just dip them in the sulfur and that's it. Yeah you put them in a line one by one they go down into a little hot tub and come on out I think that's a great idea. I'd pay money to do that I would pay money to do that. I would would they a they they their to their their their their to their their they. Wouldn't their they. Wouldn't. Wouldn't they they they they they they to to to to to to to to do to to to to to to to to do their their to do to do. I to do. I to do. I their their their their. I their. I their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. I their their their their their their their tip. I tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. tip. to to to to sounds nice to me. I bet they're doing that at yogurt gulch with Elves Prisley. We're doing yoga at 10 a.m. and then straight to the sulfur dip.

Starting point is 00:54:51 Before you blow the sea. Yeah. Solid. We'll have to Google whether he's got any songs about the sulfur dip. Well, and then I didn't say that Lynn's got a plan, so he's got some diseased cattle on his ranch and he says, I tell you what, let's put him on the Ponderosa and we'll kill all of their cattle. So that's his evil plan. Horrible. But Ben thwarts it with the sulfur dip, but before he can't get something to solve the problem we made for them. We've got to shoot him and so there's a shootout.

Starting point is 00:55:25 They try to kill hoss. It's so exciting. That was exciting. He's just trying to ride back from town with the buckboard full of sulfur. Yeah. And they got damn try to kill them. Yeah. But little Joe happens by the name of Roy,

Starting point is 00:55:47 and eventually they track it down through a good old shoe leather detective work. And they figure out, yep, this guy Roy works for god-dam, and they go up there to talk to the other guy, Tucker, the one they run off, and Adam ends up shooting and Len Keith ends up killing him right he kills his own foreman to keep the foreman from ever telling anybody we diseased your cattle on purpose shoots him at the same time that Adam does yeah it's real weird the way the shot it was weird and he said oh I thought you missed yeah yeah those were his dying words no he's ki kins That's right.

Starting point is 00:56:25 That was Len Keith. You know that. I don't need to tell you that. Characters don't often get dying words on this show. No. You get shot, and it doesn't matter where you get shot, it's lights out. The only thing you get is a dying, like stretch exercise where you're arch your back real slow and kind of thi... slowly lie down on the ground so it's not

Starting point is 00:56:45 to hurt yourself. Len Keith almost got some dying words in this episode not to sparlet but he's a he says to his he says Virginia and then he dies. We never know what it is that he might have wanted to say I know I wonder if it was maybe Virginia the treasure maps in the the credenza oh my god or Virginia I think you know what I think it was th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the the thi thi thi thi thi thi th. th. th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th is th. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the thi thi thi thi thi thir treasure maps in the credenza.

There's going to be a shootout. There's going to be an attack. Right. Don't they decide. There's all the branches are going to be a shootout, there's going to be an attack. Right? Don't they decide there's all the branchers? Oh yeah. Todd's, he's getting what's essentially a legal posse. Yeah, Todd gives a big
