And so was the Chris Piss Festival was in this very opera house, so it's nice to be back. That's right, and so was the Chris Piss Festival. I swear to God I don't remember that one. I swear it didn't happen.

There might be another goddamn Dalton Wilcox running around out there. Oh no, a doppelganger. Is that a type of monster? Sure it is. Shit. What if I'm not me? Oh, huh. I wish I could think of a Mutt Taylor test. Hey, what time did we start the show? Anybody know?

It's me. What time was it? Okay, fine. We need to end at 638. They've been very clear with us. We're not supposed to be here. Not at all. Other thing, by the way, I'm not supposed to talk about monsters at at all, and I'm not gonna.

Except to say that when I left the house this afternoon, this shirt was white and black. Oh, boy. Wow, could I ask what kind of monster twos you took out? I believe it was a vampire. Whoa, classic. Anyway, it was somebody asking for $17 for a parking space. Yeah. Well anyway, folks, uh, this is bananas for Bonanza. This is a podcast. You believe still,

this is the only podcast about Bonanza that exists out there. Bonanza is a television show everybody's talking about. It's the number one best television show in the history of the world.

Every episode of this show, we talk about a brand new episode of Bonanza. Not a brand new one. They're about 42 years old. And then. least. But a different one each episode. All right, a lot of times we have Amy Sleverson with us. She can't be here. I know. Shut up. She's... Amy Sleverson, last I heard from her was in Nashville, Tennessee. Turns out the couple that she and her husband have started dating. Got into some trouble down there for passing bad chicks and practicing psychedelic psychotherapy on an expired and counterfeit license. So they're throwing the book at them. But anyway, Amy went down there

to post their bond and she says hello. She's not here, that's the bad news. Well maybe you didn't hear that. She said hello. There you go. That's the bad news, but man, oh man there's good news. the the the there's there's the there's the there's there's the the the there's there's the the the the the the there's the the the there's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their.

Folks, we got a special guest for you tonight. If you're a regular listener to this show, you might know that this fellow helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped helped us us us us us us us the this fella helped us with a little bit of an assignment we had to carry out in Dubai United Arab Emirates. You might be bearing the lead on his credentials though. No I think that's the most important thing he's accomplished. He helped us steal a quantity of Chile from Arabia. That's true he

set us up with all our wares for our Ponderoka State house. Yeah. I can't do consonants right now. You won't need them tonight, my friend. This fella, a rock guitar legend. They call him the clown prince of rock for some goddamn reason. He played guitar for not the Eagles, but Eagles. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Mr. Joe Walsh! Oh, shit. That's a damn fine. That's a damn fine song. I wrote it.

I wrote it. You didn't write it. You didn't write it. Did you actually put pen to paper or did you just skip that part? I wrote it. Did you actually put pen to paper or did you just skip that part? That's a damn fine song. I wrote it. You didn't write it. Did you actually put pen to paper or did you just skip that part? Most of my time I don't remember.

That's right. You're a drugs person. I was. OK. And now I'm not. You're a soberman. In 1994, I had to get sober. I was out of options.

But you did so much drugs and alcohol. It's still in there. Yeah, that's what I'm wondering. What kind of reserves are you running on? No way to know, friend. OK. But I will tell you this, sobriety's giving me clarity, and I'd like to start out with a prayer.

God grant me the serenity to accept the minute. That's all the time we have for prayers. Oh yeah. No, all right, go ahead, finish you first. I forgot what the rest of it is. Oh, all right, all right. Too bad. All right, well that's a good one. that song we was playing is called Life's Been Good. My Maserati does one the street. It goes faster now? I got an oil change. Hey, look at me.

Does that what people do when you walk down the street? Hey, that guy got an oil change. I guess they'd do that, yeah. Well that song the chorus says, Life's been good to me so far. You wrote that in 1978. Still pretty good, I'd say pretty good. I like a man that writes a song that's not very presumptuous. Yeah, I can only tell you how it's been so far. All right, you got ready to talk about this episode of Bonanza?

Yeah, I watched it. Fantastic, that's all we ask. Now, you're of an age where perhaps Bonanza was on the television watching a young person.. thia. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. too, to be, to be, to be, I's, thaten. to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be thoom. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. th. th. Yeah. th. th. Yeah. to be to be to be to be to be to be to be. Yeah. to be. Yeah. Yeah. to be. I I I I I I. I. I. I. I, th. I, th. th. I, the. the. the. the. tho. tho. tho. toea. toea. toea. toea. toe. to. to. to. to th. th. th. th on the television when you was a television watching a young person. Constantly, I'd watch that show. I love that. You loved it, of course you do. And now I can't remember it, so watching it now is like a brand new TV show.

Good for you. See that, folks? Go ahead and kill some brain cells and enjoy the show all over again. This is God damn season two episode two, titled The Mission. We're gonna talk about it tonight. How many out there this is your favorite episode of Bonanza? How many out there tonight your favorite episode of Bonanza's the last one you've seen? That's right. I'm glad we got a lot of mission heads out there tonight. Yeah, I'm not surprised. because this episode has everything. One of the regular cast members makes an appearance in this episode.

And barely at that. Yeah. Serves relatively no purpose. That's true. If he wasn't in this episode, there'd be no impact on the story. But we'd miss him. There is not a woman in sight in this episode at any time. No I mean so much so that I don't think even a single character in this is married or knows a woman. It's just men only. There's a shootout. There's a cackling bad guy and there is some exciting alcoholic co-dependency. Exciting. It was on in this. Action-packed

co-dependency. Yes, sure is. Well, before I talk about the episode, as you know, I'd like to talk a little bit about what was going on in the country when this episode airs my favorite part sure it is this episode aired on September 17th 1960 there's not much to tell you about that day that I haven't told you about other days like for instance the number one song in the country was still it's now or never by Elvis Presley I gave Elvis Presley a Gibson SJ 200 guitar which he wrote a lot of his songs on. I got a bad habit of giving people guitars. Yeah I know you do, especially Elvis. What's he gonna do with it? Are you playing that song for us, Brett?

It's now or never? Is it playing in the background? Oh, there it is. That's nice. Beautiful song, beautiful. On the Cowboy charts, the country music charts, the number one song was still Alabama by Cowboy Copus. Let's hear a little bit of that too over top of It's Now or Never. I like to hear for the same time. The number one movie in the country, can you guess what the number one movie in the country was? Is it Ben Hur?

God damn right, it's Ben Hur. People could not get enough a goddamn Ben Hurd. You know what I finally did? I finally said to myself, Dalton, why don't I find out what else was playing in the theaters? What were the options? Okay, here's what they were. You could have gone to see Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. I ain't heard of that one.

I ain't heard of that one neither. For what I hear though, I understand it was the first time that somebody put chocolate sauce down a shower drain and people couldn't handle it. You could have seen let's make love with Marilyn Monroe and a Frenchman one. Now I've seen that. Yeah, I've seen that. Does she play some kind of beatnik, falls in love with a French billionaire? That's right. Yeah, fuck that. You could have seen a movie called September Storm in Three Dimensions. Oh, yep. Or you could have seen a movie called The Brides of Dracula. No shit. Is that plural brides with an ass? Multiple brides of dracons. So he's a Mormon

Dracula? He's a Mormon fundamentalist Dracula. Okay. Living out there with Warren Jeff's. And, or Rulon, I guess it would have been at that time. Yeah probably back then would have been Roulon or Roulon senior. Now interestingly enough in this movie at no time does Dracula make an appearance come on again just the brides just the brides so I can understand people don't want to see that yeah you know what I mean who wants to see the kind of women who would marry god damn Dracula seven bri to th th th th th th th th th the the th th the the 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 thus thus 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 is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th. th is th is th is th is th is th is the the the the the the the the the the the the to to to the the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to see the kind of women who would marry God damn Dracula? Seven brides for seven brothers, you at least get to see seven brothers, don't you? Here, here.

Also on that day, September 17th, Loretta Linn walked on the grand old Opry stage for the first time and sing a song called I'm a hunky-tonk girl. Can you play some of that bread over top of these other two songs, please? Beautiful. I can hear it, yeah. Is this a mashup? This is what the millennials call a mashup. Yeah. A monster mashup. Birthdays. Born on this date, September 17, 1960 was disgraced puppeteer Kevin Clash. He's Elmo? Yeah, that's Elmo. Oh yeah, among other things.

Yeah, among other things. He was disgraced. What happened there? What happened with Kevin Clash? I'm not familiar. I'll tell you later, because the way I explained it, people wouldn't like it. You was going to... No, I can't. Can't do it.

I can't. This was also the birthday of Juno-a-award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter John Bottomley, who had a top-40 hit with you lose and you gain. Can we hear a little bit of that bread over top of these other songs, please? That's beautiful. There's a lot of music going on back then. Wow. Almost enough. All right, Brett, would you please peel those songs off one at a time? I'm sorry. To see how I changed. I've still kept on the...

Beautiful. Thank you, Brett, thrown. Mr. Brett Morris. Brett Morris. Yeah. That's something else, yeah. That's a well-deserved round of applause. I don't know if he's on the premises. I've never met him. Okay, you want to hear some fun facts about this episode? That's my favorite part.

Well, you... All right. I guess a man could have two favorite parts. Most of them do! to you! Come to think of it, I got three or four favorite parts. You must be referring to boobs. You're referring to boobs? What? All right.

This episode was directed by a man named James Nielsen. Not much interesting about him, except he did direct a movie called The Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin. Whoa, that's a title. Sounds good. Is Roddy McDowell as a boy who goes to California Gold Rush to restore.. their their their their their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. You th. th. You must th. You must th.

Sounds good. Is Roddy McDowell as a boy who goes to California Gold Rush to restore his family's fortune and his loyal butler follows along to bring him home? Not the description I was expected. I don't know who Bull Whip Griffin is in that story.

Probably the butler. You think so? Likely. But it's like Bull Whiwip as it let me whip you up some some cream some cream some cream some cream some cream some cream some cream some cream some cream some cream some cream some cream some cream some cream some cream some cream some cream some cream some cream some, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, th, the cream, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, 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 the the th, th, thi, thi, thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thiiiiiolooooooooooooooooooom. thiole, th whip you up some cream, sir. Okay. That's one of the things a butler can do, I guess. Probably top three. What are the other two, Joe? I aren't and welcome to Family Feud.

Top three! A ding, ding, ding, ding, dangle, dangling. This episode features character actor Henry Hall, who, uh, well, he was in a movie called the werewolf of London. Wow. Yeah. I gave Warren Zivan a Fender Telecaster. Yeah.

They had a face switch on it, so it sounded kind of funky when he turned that switch. Oh. I've been trying to get it back. Good luck. Yeah, I believe the... Well, no, it was donated to a Hard Rock Cafe. Oh, which one?

Not sure, still hunting for it. All right. Let us know when you need a heist thoughthough, we'll help you out. We love heisting. Uh, where wolf hunting, by the way? Oh, bleep. What's wrong with your mustache? Well, in this kind of heat a cowboy will lose his mustache. Everybody knows that. You need some leprogain.

Yes, I do. Wearewolf of London. This movie, of course you know, this is not a legitimate spoiler, where wolf dies in the end, thank God. Can you imagine a goddamn werewolf movie where they didn't kill the weirwolf in the end? You'd be furious. But here's a twist. The werewolf dies and then before he transforms back into a man, he apologizes to his wife

and tells her that he loves her. I'd like to see a wolf do that. Yeah, I dare a wolf to do that. Yeah. What did he apologized for? Oh, th th th th thi Oh, thi Oh, thi Oh, thi Oh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thioling, thooom, thi, thooooooo-a, tho-a, tho-a, tho-a, tho-a, tho-a, tho-a, tho-a, tho-a, th. Well, th. Well, th. Well, th. Well, th. Well, th. Well, th. Well, th. Well, th. Well, thi-a, thi-a, thi-a, thi-s thi-s thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-s the-s th do that. Yeah. He apologized for. Oh, uh, killing people with his fangs and claws. He says, that was wrong. I was out of line.

Well, uh, okay. Henry Hull, see if you can follow this. In this episode, Henry Hull plays a man named Charlie Trent, who was a scout for a fella named John C. Fremont. In real life, Henry Hall was married to Juliet Van Wick Fremont, the granddaughter of the real John C. Fremont. Wow, that's our imitating life. Yeah. I mean, I don't think, I don't know. Is that a fun fact? It's interesting. Captain Pender in this episode was played by John Dainer who was in a movie called

Dirty Dengus McGee. Dirty Davis McGee? No, Dirty Dengus McGee? Oh, oh. D-I-N-G-U-S? That's correct. That's one of my favorite parts. You've got three more to figure out before this episode's over. Okay. He's also in a movie, Please Murder Me. That's a movie? That's a movie? That's a movie. How does it end? How does it end? Where Wolf does? Apologies. He was also

in a movie called Corky of Gasoline Alley. And another one here, you know how you've got to have a title a title that grabs people if you want people to come see your movie. Sure. Well, he was in a movie called Al Jennings of Oklahoma. I've seen that movie. It's about insurance. And he ends up apologizing to his wife at the end. Yeah, yeah. He was also in a TV show called Okay, Cracker B. Backer, what? Okay, Cracker Bee. B. B. B. What?

Okay. Third base. Next fella I want to tell you about was an actor by the name of Don Collier, who you might remember, are you ready with this video clip there, Britt? All right. You might remember him as the gum fighter from a series of ads for Hubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbubbub. We're ready to show you one. See you, okay, there it go. Get up, get up, it's gonna be a two down.

A chew down. Between the gum fighter and rockjawed. Gumb fidders to a delicious hubbubbubbubahah. it starts off and stays soft, two after, two after two. Now start, sure. It's goddamn. It's goddamn. It's goddamn.

Looks like rock jaw got rock jaw. Huffle with a base and doughstick bubble. Start soft. Yep, Don Collier as the gum fighter. He did these commercials for about four years and you can watch his spirit die. That's how they eventually got him. Heep. Poor Philip, but it doesn't... His spirit gum died. Give it a second. Yeah. Let it go and ripple

through the audience. Sure. I think it's done Ripplin. I agree. Harry, Jr, Jr. is in this episode. From the Cubs? No. Different guy. From the suicide method? Oh, no. No, not from that suicide method. Oh, no No, not from that neither. Why did I talk like you? It's going around. I'm telling you. Holy shit He was in Billy the Kid versus Dracula. Oh wow, we watched that. We did. He also played Snappy Tom in Cherry 2000. What? I don't know. That movie was produced by a man named Caldecott Chub.

Some guys have all the luck. I'll tell you. Here's a fun little line from Harry Jr.'s trivia section of IMDB. It says, His close friendship with Robert Mitchum ended when he gave up drinking. I've been there. I bet he realized what an asshole Mitchum was. Oh baby it was that way. Yeah. All right. Fellow by the name Adonalee Rhodes was in this episode. If you're Canadian and a fan of what sounds like a shitty television show you might remember him from Danger Bay He also was on the reboot of Battlestar Galactica as the doctor

Oh, yeah, Dr. Collins sure. Uh-huh, and he was on soap and he was the dad on double trouble. Okay, all right, but here's the one I want to tell you about the rest of my felt I had to There's a fella in this episode by the name of Cosmosardo Now if I see a name like Cosmosardo There goes my afternoon I'm gonna find out everything I can about Cosmosardo. I feel the same way. I can't wait to hear about them. Okay, in addition to playing bit parts on television Cosmo Sardo owned a? It was a?? I? I? I? I? I? It. the? It. the? It. It. It. It. It. It. It was? It was? It was? It was? It was? It was? It was? It was? It was? It was? It was? It was? It was? It was? It was a? It was a? It? It? It? It? It? It was a 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 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? It was thello is is? It was the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thello is is? is? It's? It's? It's? It was the the the same way. I can't wait to hear about them. Okay. In addition to playing bit parts on television, Cosmo Sardo owned a, it was called Cosmos Hair Salon, right around the corner from the famous Schwab's drugstore. Oh, that's where my friend's grandma had a date with Caesar Romero. At Cosmo's hair salon or at the Schwab's? At the Schwab's. Okay. Did he still have makeup on his mustache? Just on his mustache, so he was normal looking with a white mustache.

Caesar Romero. My mustache is just fine. Now at Cosmo's hair salon, you could get a haircut, naturally. You could get a manicure, a little surprising. You could get your shoes shined, fine. But the shoe shine man was a fella by the name of Russell Avis, who was also a pimp. When's it get weird? And that's how he got his customers. He would be shining their shoes, and then he would say, When's it get weird? And that's how he got his customers.

He would be shining their shoes and then he would say, hey, you want to get your dicks up or whatever. I believe his terminology was, do you want a dirty dingus? Are you a friend of Dirty Dingus McGee? Why yes I am. Meet me here later. So anyway, that was Cosmosardo's deal. Wow. Dirty dingus McGee? Why, yes I am. Meet me here later. Yeah.

So anyway, that was Cosmosardo's deal. Wow. Man, some followers have all the luck. Some what got all the what. I meant to say friends and fellows, but it mixed up. Yeah. I've been having trouble with speech patterns. Uh-huh.

Yeah. So I guess I'd just ask you to ask you to to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask you 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 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. the. the. the the the thooooooooooooo. the the the the the the the just ask you to worry about me? I'm frankly worried about whatever it is that's on your hand, mutt. Oh, this? What is on your hand, but? You know who gave this to me? Leonard Nimoy. He wore it in the film invasion of the body snatchers. And I asked him why, and he said, no reason, just it'sto look interested. Well, it works.

Yeah, look at that. It's neither a glove nor protection or. It serves no purpose, is what you saying. None at all. It's a leather piece that covers two and a half of your knuckles. Yes. What do you make of that? But he gave it to me and just stared at me until I put it on. I think it's to

protect you from an attack dog that only knows how to go for that one spot. Or I backhand the dog, smack, which I would never do. So this is virtually useless. Yep. All right. Well, shall we talk about this episode now? Well, this is everybody's favorite part. We get deep into the weeds discussing an episode. Yeah. You... Academy Award winner, Helly Berry. One touch without a robot.

He's all in thanks. Say it. Never let go. to the world now. Never let go. And the theater September 20th. Ready. Yeah. That called. And did her September 20th. Ready? This episode, the mission begins in a saloon where an old drunk named Charlie Trent is telling tales about his life as a scout. Yeah, a scout. And everybody's making fun of him and abusing him. And it's not believable. He's an old man.

There's no way he did all the things he said he did. That's right. And he's getting physically abused and Haas comes in and he won't stand for it and Hoss hoax hoax out on the bad guys. He squeezes a man's arm in a way that makes him lose consciousness. It's really something. I've never seen that before. I've never seen that before either. And then Haas finds a metal on the floor that proves that everything Charlie Trent has been saying is true. Yeah, I wish we all had a little amulet we could carry around that when we tell a story proves it to be true. For instance, this story.

You don't got an amulet t something like Keith Moon and I one night stayed up for four months. I believe, I have no trouble believing that. I believe that too, friend. Well, Falo. Turns out Hauss has been trying to get Charlie to clean up his act for a long time, but Charlie never has. And so I give up on you, Virginia City can't can't can't can't can't can't can't can't can't can't thua, thua, thua, thua, thi, thu, thu, thu, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm tho, I'm th.

the only place for you now as a former addict is that helpful that's awful advice I would never do that no have you ever been put on a stage coach for San Francisco? Sometimes so bad I can't sit down. Now he's talking. We've already learned from previous episodes that San Francisco is a den of depravity. So that's where you're going to send a drunk if you really care about him. Yeah. Well, then we meet a guy named Cutter and he is very committed to be in an asshole. And he's been hired the ashired the thired thired the thired the thired thired thired the thired thired thired thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. to be to be to be to be to be to to be to to to to toe. 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 th.

I to and he is very committed to being an asshole and he's been hired as a scout

for the army, a bunch of army guys is bringing a shipment of gold across the desert and Cutter's going to be their scout but he and he feels like he's got all the leverage in the world because they'll never find another scout and so he's just a cackling asshole. Wait, that's the second of my favorite parts. You got two left. Dirty-a. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. the the thi. the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their.

You got two left. Dirty dingus and cackling asshole. You're halfway there, can they do it? Oh boy. Two is halfway to three, Joe. Adjust your expectations. Well, oh no.

Oh, shit. I would ask you again to keep me in your worries. No problem. Worry for me at night before you again to keep me in your worries. No problem. Worry for me at night before you go to bed. I do. All right. Well, what happens? Okay, there's a bit of a scuffle between Captain Pender and Cutter in the saloon.

And at that point, they fire him. They say, you know what? Because it was Charlie Trent, I skipped over. Charlie Trent says, hey, he's such an asshole, I'll be your scout. And then they said, no, you're too drunk. But then, Cutter was such an asshole that they said, we'll take a chance on this drunk. And also that captain, was in the original sort of platoon or brigade that Charlie was scout. Yes, that's right. Charlie is famous. He led the first white men who ever crossed this territory. Yeah. That was his job. So now, he's going to go, Charlie Trent is going to be

their scout. Should I worry about you? Worry about me just a little bit. And he asked Haas to come along. He says, Haas, you've got to come with me and help me out. He the the the the the the the the the the the the he. He the the he. He the the the the he. He the the the the the the the the the the the the the the hea hea hea he he he he he the first the first he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he the first. He led.

He says, Haas, you've got to come with me and help me out. And Haas says, well, I've got nothing better to do than spend the next several days in the desert looking after a drunk. Do you want me to bring my three or two brothers and my father? No, thanks. They are never even mentioned one time in this episode. It is as though they do not exist. It is as though once again they've taken a script that was not for this television show

and somehow made it work. Yeah. Yeah. They felt like that to me too. Yeah. Uh-huh. They just crammed hoss into it along the story. He doesn't need to be there. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. to be. to be. to be. their. I. to be. to be. to be. to be. their. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. their. th. the. the. the. tho. the. 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. the. the. the. the. And. And. And, the. And, the. And, to. And, to. And, to. And, to. And, the. And, the. And, the. And, the. And, the. And, once they leave, that's when we find out that Cutter had a plan to steal the gold with a bunch of other bad guys.

He was going to be the scout for this party with a big thing of gold, and then he was going to ambush him. And now he says, well, they've got a different scout, and now we don't have to tell you. their them died. That new scout's so worthless, he's gonna take him out in the desert, they'll die on their own. I don't even have to kill them. Exactly. Okay, so now we know Cutter is,

in addition to being an asshole, he's evil and greedy. And off they go, and now here's another part where the alcoholism comes into play. They apparently have been going the the desert for a week. On a horse with no name? Uh, you may be right. They never tell you the name of the horse. They don't bother. Don't? Huh? Nothing? Well, it's true. They call them their mounts, but they never give a name of a horse. Unless they're all named Mount.

Oh. Like George Foreman's kids. Mount Foreman! On Mount Rushmore, there are four men. Holy shit! Did we just solve Q and on? Did we just solve Q and on? It all adds up, God damn it! Oh my God. I don't know what we're going to do with that information, but something, something violent.

We ask that you worry about us. Yep. And then start worrying about yourself. Well, uh, okay. So they've been gone a week and Hauss finds some liquor in Charlie Trent's bag and he pours it out. And Charlie Trent says to him, you done, took me insides and poured them out on the ground. And then he reveals that he, uh, this whole week in the desert he's only drink a pint of alcohol. That's not bad. I got the shakes watching this episode because I did some desert sobriety therapy back in about 1983 or something.

What does that entail? Going out in the desert with no liquor drugs. Just all by yourself? Yeah. And if you can find your way at home, well then you're sober I guess. It wasn't a good plan. Did they give you water? I don't remember. I hope so. Because I hope, first of all, let me say this about this episode. See if I understand it. The Scout is going to take them to some destination. Now they could go this way but they can't because because there's two minute Native American people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people their their their their, you you you you you you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, I their, I their, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th. thi thi thi, I thi, I thithem to some destination. Now they could go this way, but they can't because there's two-minute Native American peoples, peoples. And they could go that way, but I forget why they can't. Same reason.

Different Native American people. Okay. But so the only way they can feasibly go is due east to cross the desert. And along the way, there's watering holes that the their there's there's their their their their their their their their their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is the desert. And along the way, there's watering holes that they're going to stop at and have water to keep it so much. Identical water holes. Identical puddles of fented water. Pies and yeah. And so here's my question. Why do they need a scout? If there's only one way to go and it's due east. Okay, well you puzzle over that for a while. Because this, unlike Haas's presence, the need for a scout is what this episode is all about.

And I can't quite figure out why they need one. But anyways, they get to, is this, do they get to the water? Yeah, whatever, we'll skip to that. Yeah, they do. There's all kinds of problems, they get to the water. Okay, and this is when it turns out, the watering hole. Well, no, before that, Cutter and the bad guys say,

here's what we're gonna do, by night, we're gonna to go ahead of them and then we're going to stay ahead of them the whole rest of the way Right? Well, there's only one route. He's only one route They're going to leapfrog in front of them at night and then they're going to ride in front of them the whole way and then I guess They have to brush out all their tracks. I don't know, but anyway, the bad guys guys get the bad guys the bad guys the bad guys the bad guys the bad guys the bad guys the bad guys the bad guys the bad guys they's they's they's they's they's they's they get they get they get the bad guys get they're the bad guys get the bad guys get the bad guys get the bad guys get the bad guys get the bad guys get the bad guys get the bad guys get the bad guys get their their their their their their their they're gonna get they're gonna get their they're gonna get they get their their their their they're they're their they's get they's get their they's got they's got they's got got got got got got got got got got got got got got got got got got got their bad guys guys guys guys guys. they's they're their bad guys get. their their their their their to get. their their their their going to show, he, all by himself, no one else in the world has ever pronounced that word piezen. Is he trying to say like pisono my Italian friend? I don't know. They made this water into my Italian friend. They pisoned it? Yeah. I guess that's a possible explanation. Well now their water is piziziziziziziziziziz- they they they they they they they they's they they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're their water their water their water the Well now their water is piezoned, which I feel like, must be at least similar to poisoned. Is it when you contaminate something with a pie? Oh, maybe that's it. Sounds like it make it better.

I gave C.C. DeVille a B.C. Rich Warlock guitar with a Floyd Rose tremelow for their album open up and say ah. Oh, but did you give anybody to warrant for cherry pie? No, just poison. I remember C.C. DeVille lived in a house of horrors. One of my favorite things I've ever seen and that's real. Yeah. He said that on VH1. Over and over again. Yeah, every promo. Hell of a guitar player. That's right. Yeah, he did desert therapy with me. Really? Yeah, it didn't go so great for either one of us at the time. Okay. All right, back to the water. to the water. Well all right. So Charlie Trent, the scout the scout the scout the scout the scout the scout the scout the scout the scout the scout the scout the scout the scout the scout the scout the scout the scout the scout the scout the scout. The scout the scout the scout. The scout. The scout. The scout the scout. The scout. The scout. The the scout. The the scout. The the scout. the scout. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. 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. t. t. t. te. te. te. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. th. th. th. You're both still alive. Well, all right, so Charlie Trent, the Scout says, I tell you what I'm gonna do,

I'm gonna go ahead on up to the next Water and Hole. And what did he say? I'm gonna fire three shots in the air when I find it. And he does, and then, and the other guys rush to a clip now what happens it's it's extraordinary I will go ahead on record and say this is the most thrilling death scene oh we've ever seen on Bonanza because it's a manner of dying we have never seen or imagined imagine as you watch this that this fella doesn't drink pies and water but he in fact drinks some kind of

acting elixir. Okay? That's what it's like... And a lot of it! All right, Brett Morris, wherever you are, please play the clip from Bon's not the actor. No. No. Kelly, get out of that part of the skin. Get out of that. Get out of that. Get out of that.

Get out of the water is good and not poisoned. Let me have to watch. Kenny, that's good, man. A water's good. The water's good and not poisoned. Time's pass it. Charlie, make sure, test that water again. Only need to jump into the water. Kerry himself will prove I was right.

You are you drunk and old sat? Billy is loaded with so much poison down from liquor you didn't want you doing. Your pimpsworth this water. You don't... You know, ah, that's... Ah! Ah! Ah! Oh, oh! Oh,

that's All right, Thank you, Brun Thank you. What an extraordinary death that was. That's the same drug in pill form what Gary Oldman takes in the professional, you know, when he takes a pill back and he goes, ah!

Well, yeah, so in that clip you had the scout confirmed that the water, this water too, just like the last water in a hole was piezen. And doesn't matter, this guy's so damn thirsty he throws himself into the water. He's gone thirsty crazy Easy to do sure he doesn't believe it's pison. He doesn't believe it's piezen and then? Then he comes out and he ran some reads about how it can't be piezoned is just fine and then What how would you describe it? It's he is? Struck by the spirit of? Oh? Oh, the? the? theater. I don't know what it was. Jim Carrey. Maybe the problem is that old fella should have told him it was poisoned. He heard pie. He's like I'm real thirsty but a juicy berry pie would get me halfway there. This is the reason that he is an ineffective

scout and is taking a drink because anytime he tried to tell people their water was poison, he said it wrong and they died. That'll weigh on you. Sure it will. Joe, you ever taken any straight up poison for drugs? All the time, brought from 1979 to about 1981. All I did was to eat poison. What kind? Decon, fog on. Yeah, and it was fine. I was okay. Decon, fog on, the fogger. Yeah, no effect really. I mean I was trying more and more of it every day and nothing happened. Did it get you high? Oh yeah. Okay. Well so folks that's Joe's recommendation. Have yourself... I can't say I recommend it. I survived it. Okay but it got you high and you're just fine so go ahead

and eat bread poison. That's not what I... For two years. My dealer went away. My dealer went away. Which... Well just... I couldn't get the regular stuff I had to make do. Oh, I see. Okay. Well, okay. Now what happens? Well, now our good guys have figured out. They finally figured it out.

Well, because they say, one watering hole full of poison. That could happen anyway. Two watering holes full of poison. There's bushwhackers Two watering holes full of poison, there's bushwhackers out there and it's got to be cutter. They finally get wise. There's no one else in the episode. Or the vicinity for miles and miles. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They really had no questions about the first water and hole being poisoned. They just said, oh well. But now they've hatched a plan. They say Charlie Trent is going to go on ahead to the third watering hole and he's going

to try and get there so fast that the bad guys will still be there and won't have had a chance to poison it yet. This is like a game of pitfall basically. I don't know that game. Oh Atari 2600, Act Division subbrand. You know, I'm a country, th, th, th, th, I'm a th, I'm a th, I'm a country, I'm a country, I'm a country, I'm a country, I'm a country, I'm a country, I'm a country, I'm a th, th, th.

You win a retrocade Atari 2600 game module, playable on all modern television screens. Hot shit! I'm a cowboy, but I am very familiar with 90s-era VH1 promos.

Things like that will happen. So the, I say the, Charlie Trent's gonna hold, go ahead, he takes hoss with them. They go ahead to the third watering hole. Okay, we're doing fine on time. They go ahead to the third watering hole. Okay, we're doing fine on time. They go ahead to the third water and hole and and they're there and they see nobody's at the water and hole but they don't know if maybe the bad guys is hiding up in the rocks, right? Yeah, they're being real quiet and careful cautious. Right. But Haas and Charlie decide, okay, they's do it, let's go get ourselves some water. And they drink some water and it ain't been pisoned.

So they're happy they're drinking water. Well, what they did count on but decided to ignore was the possibility that those bad guys had the drop on them. And sure enough, the bad guys descend, and they get the better of old hoss and Charlie, and they tie them up. Right, right, right, right, right, they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they th, th, their their their they their they their they they they they they get they get their, they get their, their they get their, they get they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're their, their, their, their, their to to to to tie, tie, tie, tied, tied, tied, tied, tied, thea.ed thea' thea' thea' their their them up. Right? Yeah, I agree. It's one of those times. But barely. It's like they just had enough rope to wrap it around them once. Right.

This is one of those times. You know, Haas is gifted with supernatural strength, but sometimes he just doesn't feel like using it. It's very plot- his strength. Yes, it is. So they're now tied up and, okay, now is when Cutter has a bottle of liquor and he says, Charlie Trent, you're going to tell me the code to, you've devised to tell the soldiers that it's okay to come here and we're going to ambush them. And Charlie Trent says, okay, if you'll give me that liquor and he tel them I'll fire three shots in the air, but it's really five. Oh yeah. And now because Cutter is going to fire three shots in the air, that's going to tell the soldiers, go north even though there's Native American people up there.

Because if you come to do east, you're going to get jambushed, the, you're doing us a courtesy, but I assume everyone here's seen the episode multiple times. You don't even need to describe it. That's a good point. Why do I describe what happens in these episodes? It's nice though. It's nice to go on the journey again. I like it. Sure, OK.

We got to make sure weppelin 3 and physical graffiti. Not Led Zeppelin 4 though. I also gave a Les Paul guitar to Les Paul. What did he say? Did that cancel him out? He was gone for about six years and then he phased back into our reality. Wow. Did he say anything about what he had seen or experienced on the other side? He was speaking a new language that nobody understood for about 18 months. You looked him straight in the eyes and said, Les Paul, more Peter and Mary.

I suppose I did. Did we solve Q& on again? Or did we put it back where it was? Oh shit. God damn it. Son of a bitch. All right. Stand down.

You're not afraid to say it. Not afraid. Where the fuck was we? They fired, he fired three shots instead of five for the promise of sweet bourbon. Yeah. By the way, the bourbon doesn't taste so good to him anymore. He sobered up in the desert. He's sobered up and doesn't care to be drunk anymore. He'd rather be a useful member of society. Wish it would have worked for me.

Yeah, the desert didn't work. Nope. All right. Well, OK. Now, the soldiers know if they only hear three shots, they should not go due east. Nonetheless, they go due east. But they do it in two different groups.

Three of them's coming up this way, and two of them is coming up this way and two of them is coming up the other way and they're going to play a squeeze play on the bad guys. Yeah, flanking maneuver. Now, in a terrible, terrible strategic blunder, the bad guys just decide out of the kindness of their hearts to untie Charlie Tranton Hoss. Why'd they do that? Probably because they needed that rope. Okay, they had another use for the rope. th. th. the rope. the rope. the rope. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. their. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. their. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 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. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So, the. So, the. So. So, th. So. So, th. So, th. So, for the rope. That makes sense. So their prisoners are untied and the soldiers are coming down on them in two different groups. And at some point one of the bad guy says to Charlie Trent, he says, give me a drink of that liquor, put it in this cup, and Charlie Trent does, but then he throws the liquor in the face of the bad guy and hoss pounces and that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, th, th, th, that's it, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th-that's th-and th-and th-and the, the, the, the, the, and they's they's th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and their, and their, and their, and their their, and th, and th, and th, and the, and th, and the, and the, and the, and thin, and thin, and thin, and thin, and thin, and thin, and thin, and thin, and the, and the, and the, and the, and thean, and thean, and thean, and thean, and thean, and thean, and their, and their, and the bad guy and hoss pounces and that's it. They've neutralized one bad guy. Oh, it was really something. Sure was.

What a tragic waste of bourbon. Yeah, but it didn't work for Charlie anymore. Excuse me. I just saw you. What? Try to reaffix your mustache with the microphone. Mike, he's been doing it for about half an hour. Not with his microphone. Also, now that made me smile so bright,

my mustache has given me a problem. I'm laughing so hard about it, my wig might fall off. Ooh, boo! Listeners at home, if you hear what sounds like a crunching sound throughout the episode, and you think, could that be microphone on mustache? Because you actually did use Hubbababa to put that on.

Why no, I grew it like a man grows a mustache. Sorry, I do apologize. But it's so hot it might fall off. Okay. What part of that is difficult to understand? No part, sir, no part. Oh, man. This isn't.

I will say, even though your mustache, because it's real and is in no way coming off, it is coming off only in the center, so it's almost as if you could, I don't know, put it like a ring of keys in there or something or just dangle something. I dare you to try it. I'd love to see you stick your tongue up through behind and come out the top. Oh, look at that. I can. It's a more robust on the bottom than the top.

I see. Is that one of your favorite parts? That's one of my favorite knights. More robust on the bottom than the top. Yeah, that's a whole process. Here's something I didn't quite notice. It seems to me that in the shootout which ensues, and it's a fine shootout, the soldiers didn't shoot anybody. I think that's the case.

I think you're right. I think it was only Charlie was the shaaaaaaaaaaa that's the case. I think you're right. I think it was only Charlie and Haas. Yeah. Haas descends with a shotgun. That was cool. What you call that there? He's just cocking it and firing and he's just cocking it and firing. Oh yeah, that's not a shotgun. I'm sorry. That's not a shotgun. I'm sorry. That's not a shot. That's either Winchester or Remington repeater rifle. That's a rifle. That's a rifle. That's a rifle. That's a rifle. That's th.

Oh no. You dirty trickster. I didn't do nothing. Oh no it's this sad. Oh no. God damn heat. It must be hot in here. Real hot. Oh man. I have lip patterned baldness. Well, Charlie did end up getting shot.

Old Charlie Trent got shot. The two things happen to you if you get shot on Bonanza. One is, immediate lights out and you're dead. Yeah. No suffering of any kind, just lights out gone. Maybe time for a quick yoga stretch. Oh, yeah, we've seen this and very little blood. Oh yes no blood. And if it is it's red paint.

The other thing that happens is that you're shot in a way that makes somebody else take a look at it and say well that's just a crease. Yeah and that's it a crease. And that's what happened to Charlie, old Charlie Trent in this episode He just he was shot, but it was just a crease right so he's gonna be fine So the gold gets to make its way to where's ever it was going as does hoss and Charlie Trent Yeah, as does the one prisoner that they took tied up and walking behind the wagon.

That's a damn fine one, but it... Yeah, thank you. Here's the bad news. There's only 397 episodes of Bonanza left for us to recap on this show. This is my least favorite part. I know it breaks my heart every time because

you know what happens every time we do one of these episodes there's one list to do. And each time it doesn't seem like that's going to be the case but then it is. It is the case I know. I always look at my notes I figure maybe it'll still say 398 this time. Or maybe we'll gain ones. Well be be nice. But no, the number just keeps going down every damn time. So, uh, yeah, I hate to tell you that folks, but, uh, I don't know. What can I tell them to console them? I guess just start again at part one. Yeah, we'd do that, I guess once we get to the bottom. We made, we made good time, didn't we? I? I? th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. 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 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. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. th. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. bottom. We made good time, didn't we? I believe we did! It's, yep, okay. I got time, in fact, to give you an update on the Pier 1 Ponderosa Bonanza Steakhouse that we've been operating out there in Pasadena. The news is not great.

Evidently, that space, call it a retail space? Yeah, former Pier 1. Evidently it has some sort of an owner with a deed of trust on it or something like this. Some fella has claimed to own the space. Squatter's rights. He ain't been around for a while. He's coming back around. Apparently he's been around quite a bit. Oh, really? So anyways, there's a number of ways I could handle it, but I ended up negotiating with the fella and for the months of September and October, it will be

a Ponderosa, Pier 1 Bonanza Steakhouse and Halloween Store. Wow! And all food served by Houston's restaurant, ordered there and then bust over. That's right. All the food is from Houston Steakhouse, because we don't have a kitchen. Pier 1 doesn't have a kitchen. Well. Seems like they should. Yeah.

Do they have a, do they have a pier? No, god damn it, they don't. You figure the one thing you could buy at a pier one is a peer. So you come into our restaurant, you get yourself a Halloween costume, you order yourself whatever you want off the menu at Houston's. Our wait staff will go over to Houston's and order it and pick it up and bring it back for you to eat, and there's a modest markup. This was great because prior to this people have to come in order food get it from Houston's want a Halloween costume and we'd have to run over to Halloween Spirit Superstores pick one up right and now if you want a peer

I guess he still can't get one though. Nope. Okay. Also in the restaurant is my pig, Sherman, and my horse Megan thee Stallion the horse, who is not here tonight because I put another coat of yellow paint on her and she don't look good. She looks a bit ill. Oh, you gold fingered her. Is that one of your favorite parts? Yep, that's another favorite night. All right. Well, that's another favorite night.

All right, well, that's all the updates from my side. You got any updates to share with us? How's things with Duckabee and Kaz? Yeah, pretty good. I've never been happier now. Kaz is a sort of chan tooose. It sings over there at the Ponderosa Steakhouse. steady lady. Duckabees my adopted daughter and everything's going pretty well. I have to say she loves me for my mustache, she says as long as I love her leave my mustache, she'll never leave me.

Oh shit. What? How about you, Joe, anything to plug? I spent the week sitting in with Stephen Colbert's band in New York City. Oh you did. All week long I sat in with Stay Human. Okay, how'd that go? But I was really there to sort of case 43rd and Broadway. What's that? New York City's Hard Rock Cafe. Holy shit. Now I must tell you there's a stack of guitars that got a little wall of guitars they're laying flat like pants a stack of pancakes. It's a travesty. That is a travesty. And the crown jewel of the New York Hard Rock Cafe is a guitar I gave Tony I owe me from

Black Sabbath, a left-handed Red S.G. that he played all kinds of paranoid Sabbath. Sabbeth, bloody Sabbath. We're all written on that guitar. It's just sitting in the Hard Rock Cafe New York. We got to get it out of there. We're gonna get it out there. I started drilling a hole we're gonna use the subway tunnels. Wait it can't fail. You started doing that here? While I was when I was playing on the television show I was in the subway drilling up I see. All right folks the next time you hear from us we will have the the the subway the the th. th. the th. th. th. the th. th. to the th. the th. th. th. the th. th. to th. to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to the the to to to to to to to get. to get. to get. to get to get to get to get to get to get to get. to get. to to to to to to to to to to to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. the th. the the th. the the the th. the the. the the. the the. thro. thr. the. the. th. th. th. up.
