Now you know how a plane will try, it'll go further north than it needs to go to get to where it's going, right?

Our guest booker keeps tell me about these banana farmers and produce managers want to be on this show to discuss bananas and it it doesn't, God damn it, doesn't have anything to do with that. The fools obviously never listen to the show. This is about America's TV show, Badams. Sorry, I get emotional and I think about Benaz. Today, we're going to be talking about season 1, episode 15.

Hello Amy. I'm I'm coming to live from our closet with beneath a quilt because my husband he he's just doesn't like me podcasting as much so I'm just trying not to bother him while he's he's

he's watching shows and stuff. Oh no well you've been podcasting with us for a while now but is it your husband just recently decided he's not wild about it anymore? Well I guess I guess it's you know just the sound of my voice. Oh I see I see yeah you guys have a sort of an arrangement where you don't normally talk unless he pretty much says he wants you to. Is that about right? Yeah, and we really support each other in that. So if he don't like the sound of your voice, does that mean he doesn't listen?

And if he doesn't listen, how is he getting any kind of content about Bonanza? Well, I don't, well, I think what Mud is asking me is, your husband does he listen? thu? thi? thi? thi? thi? thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is to listen, is to listen, is to listen, is to listen, is to listen, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is that's that's that that's that that that that that that that that that that to, is to to that, is that, is that, is that, is that's is that's is that's is that's is that's is that's is that's is that's that's that's that's that's thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is that's thi. Is thi. Is thi. that's that's that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's doesn't. Well, I think what mud is asking is, your husband does he listen to this podcast when it comes out to be publicly available? Is that what you're asking? No. Oh, no. He says, you know, that's kind of my, it's your stuff.

That's your thing. And then I take every interest in what he does. That's how we work it out. That's a good little give and take. You guys have figured something out. He takes no interest in your things and you take total interest in everything that he's into. Yeah. I watch everything he puts suggests on YouTube,

which is mostly baseball games being replayed from the 1950s to 70s. Wow, that's fascinating. So he does all the taking, you do all the giving, but ultimately it's the same amount of giving and taking as a normal couple does just usually they split it up. It's okay. Yeah, that's right. It's um, it's um, it works. That's a good one to think about it. So much work, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll tell 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 that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the the the the the the the the they. they. the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they.

So much work, right? Yeah. Yeah, I'll tell you. For at least one of us.

Yeah, you know, I live in an underground mine that I've been digging in a national park. And, uh, I live here with my new bride. She's, uh, I met her as a Russian sex person for money, but she seems to have a past life in the Russian military. And anyway, I'm trying to get her interested in Bonanza, and it hasn't been easy. But yeah, maybe that's something I just need to accept. Maybe she's not going to like my things, because I don't like her foods and crazy

music she listened to, I don't like her foods and crazy music she listened to all that stuff. I don't want any She have breasts. Oh, she yes, she does have oh, she does have breasts. Yep, she does.

You've got any all-time, of all-time favorite. You got any all-time of all-time favorite shows? As a busy working mother of two and devoted wife, I find it hard to take time away for me sometimes. So I don't get a lot of free time to sit in front of the boob tube and nosh on bonbons. Right, here, here, I hear you. I feel like Amy's you've you've expressed some things like that as well. You're so busy getting your husband's dinner ready and whatnot. Especially around the holidays. I'm up to my neck and corncob dolls. Hey, wait a minute. Wait, wait, I am too, but for a different reason. I said we just got so much in common here. What's a corncob doll? Is it what it sounds like you make? You you take a corncob? You're the dinner the dinner. You the the the the the the dinner the the dinner the dinner 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? You're their. You're their. You're their. You're their dinner. You're their dinner. I their dinner. I their dinner. I their dinner. I their dinner. I their dinner. I their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their h. I their their husband. I their their their their their their their their their their their their their hea. I, we just got so much in common here. What's a corn cob doll? Is it what it sounds like? It's when you take a corn cob,

you put a face on it? Oh, yeah. This checks out. Some of my best friends are corn cob dolls. This is a corn cob. Now, the corn's been eaten off of it, I reckon. So it's just like you would the skin of a normal doll. Oh, yep, okay. And then you put a face on the corn cob. How do you, how you getting that face on there? Is it, are you gluing on buttons or are you? Well, you can, it's really easy if you just use a Sharpie. And you can make dresses of the silks. You can take this Oh the corn silk and make a dress. Oh my well that's beautiful that sounds lovely. Are they are they meant to be little native indigenous Americans peoples? Oh no it's it's for my kids it's just something fun for them to play with, you know.

Yeah. You know, for the, because we're a little short on cast. I just, I just tripled my inventory of Book of Revelations pillows and I haven't been able to kind of move them. And so it's going to be a little bit of a tight Christmas. Oh, sounds like she's cracking, if I may. And so it's going to be a little bit of a tight Christmas. Oh. Sounds like she's cracking, if I may. Cracking, like cracking up?

Yeah, well that's just always the case because she's a hard-working woman and a hashtag girl boss. Isn't that right, Amy? Yeah. Amy Sleverson, is the Christmas season very busy for your business? Do you have, are there particular products you're rolling out? Or is it all about just tripling the inventory on the existing product? This entire episode is really a testament to the Lott's daughter's no lines school of acting. It's acting for women where you don't, most it's a lot of listening and reacting off the lines of men.

And you got to keep your face interested, but not so much so that it seems like you're taking over the scene. Right. That is exactly right. That's a very good observation about this episode, which features an indigenous American savage, or native person who's got, never says a damn thing just about. And she's a woman.

Yeah, seems like most of the ladies on the show could have come from that school of acting, where they just stand by. There's a lot of standing. Well, that's the thing we're being paid less so we get to do less. Here, here. It all works out. It's so wonderful. Yeah, this episode is called the last hunt. I want, you know how I like to do, I think maybe I'll do the fun facts about the cast and whatnot and then we'll take a break and then we'll go scene the scene. How's that sound as a plan. Hoorah. I ought it it it. 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. I. I. I 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 the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thing. things. things. things. things. things. things. things. things. th. th. th. th. th. th.'ll go scene the scene. How's that sound? That's a plan. Hoorah. I ought to work just fine. Because now I'm really into this. I love to just say, say, say, look, who was the guest stars and what else have they

done? And so this episode has a character by the name, do we ever learn her name? She's just a Shoshoney girl and she was played by a a woman named Shana Eden who was an Israeli actress and I don't know all kinds of, I don't know what an Israeli is but I reckon it's basically the same thing as a Native American. I could tell you it's a Jewish person typically and it's really keeping to the theory that all the Native Americans are played by Jewish people in this show. Oh is that th. Is th. Is 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. thi. thi thi thi thi thi. I's thi. I's thi. I's thi. I's thi. I's thi. I thi. I th. I I I I I th. I I I I I I I th. I th. I I I I th. I I th. I th. I th. I the the the the the the th. I's thi. the thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the thi. thi. thi. the theory that all the Native Americans are played by Jewish people in this show. Oh is that how it's been? It seems. Yeah. Although this is the first one with brown eyes I've seen so I think they had to do that for this episode specifically to differentiate from the baby's blue eyes.

Well we'll get into that but I don't really believe that baby had blue eyes. I don't think so. Once we get a the to to to to to to to to to to the to to the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. th. that's that's that's the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. th. th. th get a look at them, but anyways, she was in a movie and then a movie about an ornithologist going up against a family of bird poachers with Peter Falk and Gypsy Rose Lee and Burr Lives as a character named Cotton Mouth. And then, yep, it's called the wind across the Everglades. And then she did, this thing that happens a lot with the beautiful actresses of Bonanza when you look up their careers. 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, tholuths, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, 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. And 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 the called the wind across the Everglades. And then she did, this thing that happens a lot with the beautiful actresses of Bonanza, when you look up their careers, she worked a lot for about 10 years and then vanished. So that happened to her.

Then we got a character by the name of Sumter Kyle and Richard Bailey dropped in the Beverly Hillbillies. Richard Bailey was their banker and next door neighbor on to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the Billy the Billy the Billy the Billy to the Billy the Billy sdale on the Beverly Hillbillies for all them years He was their banker and next door neighbor on the Beverly Hillbillies Oh shit over there with buddy Epson who was in one of our other episodes I love to look up the great credits. Okay, here we go. Raymond Bailey was in a movie called the Space Children Here's the here's the synopses of that. A glowing brain-like creature, brain-like creature, arrives on a beach near a rocket test site via a teleportation

beam. The alien communicates telepathically with the children of scientists and the kids start doing the aliens bidding as the adults try to find out what's happening to their unruly offspring. So in other words, these aliens try to find out what's happening to their unruly offspring. So in other words, these aliens trying to stop these rocket scientists from succeeding in launching a rocket make their children insufferable. Wow, now darling all your monster hunting, you ever come across a brain-like creature? I, no, I never have. And so I'm interested to see this movie to figure out what are the tell-tale signs of a brain-like creature. Well you should meet my meatloaf. Is your meatloaf brain-like? According to my husband. Oh, he said, damn it, this tasks like brains. Maribel, you ever

feel like your children have been taken over by brain-like creature? Yeah, I wanted to ask that of a parent. What can you imagine a child doing that would prevent a rocket scientist from loading a rocket off? Well, honestly it could only be an approvement for my lot. They're nightmares. Yeah, kids are horrible. Yeah, you've got a couple of real lunatics run around there, have you? Judy and Buzz. Oh, Judy and Buzz. I like those. But Buzz is an outdoor child. Uh, full-time? Basically. Wow. That's my life. Like, like the way you have an outdoor cat, you're just gonna open the door. We leave food out. We let him in for Christmas. Oh, well that's nice. Well, that's good for a boy. Get out. Uh, he was also in a movie called Tarantula, in which a spider escapes from an Arizona

desert laboratory experimenting in giantism. Don't do that. Don't go experimenting in giantism. What else was in that lab? So he's just the only one that escaped, but what if you took an elephant who's already a giant and experimented in giantism? You might end up making them tiny. I don't know for sure. I'd love to have a tiny elephant, wouldn't that be a tiny elephant? They could fit in your pocket.

Oh God. That'd be a whole different movie. Yeah, I'd tied thi th for th for th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I'd like to see that, but no, I guess they was trying to, it was a well-meaning scientist trying to turn like, one corncob into 50. It was like a food supply thing. Oh, I see. Anyway. Anyway, it was a bunch of corncob dolls. Yeah, exactly.

Then, finally, I think, we got a fellow by the name the name the name the name the name the name the name the name the name the name the the to make a bunch of corncob dolls. Yeah exactly. Then finally I think we got a fellow by the name of Steve Terrell he played little Jason Kyle there at the end and this actor he was like this is my big break this actor really went for it and he he was in a movie called Invasion of the Saucer Man and the plot of this one is a teenage couple driving with their headlights off to a make-out session on Lover's Lane, accidentally runs over an alien creature with their car. The creature's hand falls off, then comes alive. It grows an eye and begins to stalk the teens. The teens eventually discover that bright light can destroy these aliens and all the

kids on the aliens and save the world. Wow. That sounds so familiar. It does? You mean like you've seen that movie or that happened to you? Like, did that just happen? Wow. Did you read about it in the news? Yeah, look, it was something I read or I watched so much news I don't know maybe it was a

dream yeah yeah it does there is something dream like about it but yeah this this fellow Steve Terrell he did a lot a lot of usual television credits such as Perry Mason and Dragnet and Navy Log and Wire Service and Schlits Playhouse of Stars. Usual things. I've actually heard of that one before that's come up before. The Schlits playhouse of Stars? It has yeah. Big Star. Hey, wait wait a minute! Mut Taylor alone. He was also on a show called Climax X- Point. Oh, yeah, Climax CBS Action Theater. Yeah. Yep, this was an anthology series and it was a, it,

this is where Casino Royale of James Bond fame premiered. It's the first ever on-screen James Bond played by an American named Barry Nelson, you might remember as the boss of the hotel from The Shining, and he's, they call him Jimmy Bond and that. Now this is Mutt Taylor talking, it's not anyone else too, because I'm a, yeah. Well, well anyways, old Steve Terrell was on an episode of Climax and he went on to found the Lamb's Theater and here's a description of the Lamb's Theater, says, young performers, many of them, part of the Jesus movement of the early 70s, were drawn to this exciting exploration of faith and art. The company built a reputation for high quality, fast-paced humor, physical dexterity,

with a spiritual mission touring nationwide to college campuses, prisons, and renaissance fairs. Oh, ooh. That's what it says on their own website. That sure sounds on the up and up to me. Nothing's a sinister going on there. Amy, was you involved in any sort of a formal Jesus movement? Well, I kept auditioning. And I tried to get in, they said, well, we could actually, you could be behind the scenes, as like, or maybe do like play a dead body or the back end of a horse or you know that kind of thing. But, you know, I just decided it wasn't, I'm better at sales. Yeah, boy, that's tough.

You have an audition for a theater company and they say, hey, you could play either a dead body or the back end of a horse. And that's it, that basically is all, that's all they thought you was fit for. Wow, I just didn't have a lot of experience. Uh-huh. Okay. And you, I asked, I said, but I have faith that I can, I can do it. I can have a speaking role. And then that's where I really started

my no line school of acting for women. There you go. You know so that you can be a part of the magic even if that means you're mostly just doing accounting at Disney. Exactly. So that there, the rejection of the Lamb's Theater planted the seed in your mind of this no line school of acting and and and this episode of Bonanza is like the perfect example of it that ever was. Yep. Hey, Maribel, you ever doing it, performing of any kind? Well, no, but I have been told that I have it. Oh, it.

Wow, yeah. Yes, my doctor, my doctor actually diagnosed me with it. Wow, hang on now. You do have something about you, I'll say it. Well, that's what they say, but you know, I'd like to stay modest. Well, I'm just a little concerned. I wonder if you want to talk to another doctor who's got more details for you because that.

Yeah, because it could be that you have like what cousin it has. Oh, oh, oh, oh, th, th, th, th, the, the, the, the, th, th, the, th, th, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, wow, wow, thi, wow, wow, thi, wow, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, wow, wow, th, th. Wow, th. Wow, wow, th. Wow, thi, thi, wow, thi, wow, wow, thi, thi. Wow, 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 thi. Wow, thi have like what cousin it has. Oh no, you don't want that. It's just all hair. Maribel, not with this. Maribel, you're everything that I aspire to be. Now, Amy, I do think you would really benefit from taking one of my audio courses. I know I would. How much does it cost? Well, we can arrange a deal. I'll put you on some sort of layaway plan.

I don't have any credit. Well, how about we do a trade for some of those corn dolls? Oh, trade! Oh, I love it. Yes, I can trade. I bet I could, if I made you like a hundred corn dolls, would that be with one download of your MP3s? That sounds fair to me. Oh man, you was already up to your eyebrows and corn dolls. Yeah, how long does it take to make a hundred corn dolls? Well, I guess I'll find out.

No way to know until you try. It's about six weeks. About six weeks and then allow four to six weeks for delivery I reckon. Are you taking them by foot? They'll be delivered to my doorstep. I hope in time for Christmas. Well it depends on where do you live Marabal me? I live in Whittier California. Oh wittier. I live in Whittier, California. Oh, Whittier. I live in a, I, I love far, far from there. Um, you know what, I will, I, you know, I'll created a dead. I cannot repay. I think everything's going to work out just fine. Really? I think it's going to be fine. You're going to get your corn cob dolls, I believe, and maybe Sleverson's going to listen to that audio series. I think everything's going to work out just fine for you ladies.

Like I says, I got a whole collection of corn dolls myself, no comment. But I'd be happy to pitch in some of those, Amy, if you're coming up short of your quota. Thank you so much. And I would give to you, which I already have on the docket as long as you provide shipping a home husband birth kit. It's a home husband birth kit, $79. It comes with Indian food, actual Indian food in a can, and then a popcorn bowl size of water, and then labor tugging sticks in oak, mesquite, and mahogany, dry rot baby powder, and

DW40, a half-inch Phillips and barbecue tongs with a bottle of Amstel light for disinfecting. Wow! Matt Phillips screwdriver especially probably coming real handy for birth and a baby. That is really something. I tell you what, I haven't ever had a baby, but my husband, he, he, we've just done, you know, some home, you know, things at home just to see how it would work. Yeah. And, you know, when he, you've had some baby drills.

And, you know, he could have gotten something out. Wow, this makes me want to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to to th. 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. 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. the. the. the. the. to to to to to to to to to to today. to today. today, the. the. th out. I know he coulda. Wow, this makes me want to go have a baby. Like, go get a lady knocked up and have a baby. Now, I've never had a maternal instinct or paternal instinct before. But now having the tools, knowing that I have the wherewithal, I'm not do it. Men should do everything. Men should get in to every part of women's lives, you know, that that that that that that that th, th, the the the the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, they they thi, thi, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, tham, tham, tham, tham, tham, tham, tham, tham, tham, the, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. thi, thi, thi lives, you know, that they do the best job. Like, I don't know my own body. You, you know, take a ranch and just, you know, take a, take, see what you can do. Because I don't know what's going on down there and I don't want to look. Yeah, you're not kidding. We learned from this episode is that women have like an animal instinct to know what to do,

but it only goes so far and after that the men need to take over. That's right now. Haas in this episode is basically just a licensed OB-YN. He knows everything there is to know. Just about, but specifically for Shoshones. But all right, well, well, we, we, we, we, we, 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, tho, thi, thi, 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, th, th, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, th, and, and, and, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho. tho. thoooooooo. thooooo. And, tho. We're tho. We're too far into it. Well, we're going to take a little break and then we are going to dig right into this episode, which is season one, episode 15 of Bonanza, the last hunt. And man, you're going to love it. God, don't go nowhere! the All right, we're back. We are here with Mutt Taylor and Amy Sleverson and Maribel May as our guest to discuss

episode 15 of the first season of Bonanza. It's called The Last Hunt. Man, man, this is a fantastic episode. There is nowhere near as much bare-fisted brawl than as I prefer to see in one of these episodes, but we do got some gunfire and plenty of Native indigenous Indian-American peoples. Oh, and Hop Sing holding a baby.

Man, oh man. Hopsick is funny in this episode. Okay, here we go. You guys ready to go scene scene by sseen sse. You can jump in to anything you want to say, but I'll start by telling you it's wintertime now. Here it is, it's wintertime on the Ponderosa or wherever we are, I'm not sure. Haas and Joe is two of our heroes.

They're tracking a ram trown. And in the first scene, thine thing, thing, thing, thing, thing, thing, thing, thing, things, things, things, things, thine, thine, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, to to to to to too, too, to to to to to to to to to to to to to too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, the the the the too, the the the the the the thau. the the thauu. the the thauu. tooom. tooomorrow, tooom. tooomorrow, too, too, too, -day ram hunting journey that these two men is on. And in the first scene, we get some comical music. Now, ever since Merrill Marco talked about music, I'm paying attention to it. Now, it helps me to know that something funny is gonna happen when you start hearing that comical music. And sure it up, Joe tries to shoot this ram, but Haas knocks him over, and we're laughing and laughing, and then we see an engine person with a knife. And that's, that's how this episode grabs you. You are grabbed hold of tight, right that point, wouldn't you say?

Yeah, that's a hell of a hook. And man, that kind of vitriol between the Joe and Hoss when he thought he bumped him, that was like, I thought he was going to kill him. Yeah, Joe took that real serious. Hoss was laughing, but Joe, Joe really was mad. That's just about mad as we've ever seen little Joe. Yeah. You can download that men doing dumb thing music off a Spotify and just play it while your husband does things around the house. Oh man, that's a good idea. If yeah, if I know that something comical is about to happen in my house, I'd put on that music from Bonanza, we'd all have a real good time. It's a good idea. Well, and then so after that knife appearance,

we cut to the opening credits and this I believe, unless I am mistaken, this I believe is the 15th episode to feature the burning map in the opening credits of Bonanza. I'm going to dub chook that. But then we go to a scene here where our fellas they're sleeping, the old Joe and Hoss are sleeping out there, camping out. And this engine comes up with a knife and she tries to steal something from Little Joe. And Little Joe, without even ever opening his eyes, manages to overpower and disarm this knife-wielding engine. And at that point, something strange happens, which I didn't understand, I watched it again and again. Hoss jumps up to come to Joe's aid and... Oh, somebody's phone is ringing.

That's a pretty tune. It is a pretty tune. Well, maybe we'll wait. I believe Amy Sleverson got a phone call there. It's all right. What happened here? Somebody called me. And I said, I didn't say, 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, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to come, 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, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to then, the, to the, to me, to me, to me, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to to to to to to to to to, it's all right. What happened here? Somebody call you, Amy? Somebody called me, and I said, I didn't say anything, I just hung up on them. Oh, okay, all right.

I don't know anybody, so if anybody calls me, I know it's a wrong number. That simplifies your life, right? If you don't know anybody. Well, so, as I was saying, suddenly all these bullets thuoletsetsetsetsetsetsetsetsetsetsetsetsetsetsetsets. the bullets. the bullets. thuolets. thuffeullullullullulls. thuffed. thu. thu. thu. Well so as I was saying suddenly all these bullets start firing out of the campfire. I guess what happened was that Haas in his haste kicked a whole bunch of things into the fire but I just didn't see it happened. Yeah I wasn't clear. That's right because things just kept exploding. Yeah it just sounds like a wild shootout. There were a couple inexplicable things in this opening scene too, because like Haas knows right away

I don't mean to spoil it that she's pregnant, but he never lift the blanket to check and then later when we see the blanket lifted she really got a pregnant belly. Well, that is true. I think I have that scene to show us here. Okay, here. Let's take a look. So right before 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 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 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 thea. thea. thea. threat. they. the the the threat. the the the the thea. the threat. the the the the the the the the the they. I think I have that scene to show us here. Okay, here. Let's take a look. So right before this it is revealed that what they're dealing with is a woman person. They've got a woman, which is surprising enough. And then we have this other extraordinary reveal, which I took special notice of because I thought we was about to learn that she was dead, which would have been not the fastest that a woman has died on this show, but one of the fastest, one of the fastest, actually it might have been the fastest, now I'm trying, you see I'm struggling to share my screen, I never figure out how to do this easily. Here we go. Here's this big reveal moment. Let's watch. Okay, she's a woman.

The old Joe says, come on over here. Look at this. Yep. And that's why you never leave the house without makeup. Oh yeah, she has beautiful eye makeup off. Sure did. And skin makeup to make her look like a Native American. Yeah. Joe's gonna make her coffee.

He didn't get hit by one of them straight bullets, did you? Now, she ain't been hit. Joe is blocking her. Yeah, well, this coffee will fix her up. Never mind. Never mind. What's wrong with it? She's dead.

Little, Joel? This squaw's gonna have a baby. And soon. No caffeine, ladies while you're having to have a baby in you. I guess that is what he's saying. Don't give her coffee. So, like I'm saying, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, to to say, to to me, to me, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too like I'm saying, I was for sure that when Haas said, never mind, you know, forget about the coffee, he was going to say, she's dead. But instead, he said, she's pregnant.

This squall is going to have a baby. And as Butt says, we don't know what leads Hoss to that conclusion. Because he just really is looking at her face face as far as I can tell. And I suppose that in 1959, there was no way to, to make a person who wasn't pregnant look pregnant because they never did bother with it on this show, did they? No, Maribel, is there something, that you ta? Is there something that happens to your ey's thii? Is th. th. thi something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something that that that to to to to the? the? the? Is something something something something something something something something something something to to to to to your the the thii thi thi thi thi thi thi? thi thi thi thi their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thi? their thi? th get pregnant that you could tell or something? Yeah, in fact the whole face shifts an eighth of an inch to the left. Really? And so that is a telltale sign that a woman is with child. Oh isn't that something? If the face shifts on the skull? Yes, the entire face, the eyes, the nose, the mouth, it all shifts slightly to the left.

Okay. And then it actually continues throughout the pregnancy. It continues to shift completely until it's back where it started from. Like a clock. That's exactly right. And this is why they- Your Bailmate, you have two kids. What kind are they?

Well, one is a girl, that's Judy, and one is a boy, and that's Buzz. Oh, we'd always have hope to have three girls and just call them all Carl. Well, wouldn't that be something? But it didn't happen because I'm barren. Oh, no, that can't be true. No, it is medically. Well, we'll see. I'll give you some bedroom tips that might spice things up. Oh, we've done a lot of things up there. Well, have you tried fun costumes? Because the first thing I thought when I saw that young Indian gal was,

what a costume. Oh boy, my husband, Freck would I thought when I saw that young Indian gal was what a costume. Oh boy, my husband Freck would love to see me and that. Well, I was so inspired by, you know, because they do, it seems like they do so much research on this show to be specific to the indigenous first nations of this country. And they always use the same in Native American costumes, no matter what the tribe is. Yeah, yeah. Show Shawnee people never wear anything like that. But I understand that was an oversight. Yeah, no, I think whatever your source is that tells you that's not what a Shishone looks like,

it just simply has to be wrong. I'd say Bonanza got it right. Every day. I check the internet dotting. Oh, oh, the internet. Well, sometimes the entire internet is wrong about everything. So, well, who knows? But I trust, I trust Bonanza. Now, I'm sorry, I just have a quick question.

Yeah, yeah. If I just see a woman, and we're talking with a sideways face, she's either a quarter pregnant or three quarters pregnant. So her, yeah, oh, I see. If it's to the left, it's to the left, she's almost the right. Yeah, oh, I see. If it's to the left, it's a quarter. And if it's to the right, she's almost there. She's three quarters pregnant. Well, it depends what angle you're looking at her at. See that? Okay. All right. All right.

All right. Well, I've never heard that before, but it is basically the only explanation also yeah oh next next up if I move on to Nixley we had I believe one of the longest scenes in the history of television. This is a scene. Hoss and the squall are they are it starts out with the two of them and then they talk about Joe and Hoss talk about how she must have been trying to go to Virginia City for some reason they don't understand why. we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We thi thi the the the. We have th. We have th. We have th. We have th. We have th. We have th. We have th. We have th. We have th th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. th. the th. th. I th. th. the the to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thin to the the the the the them and then and then they talk about, Joe and Haas talk about how she must have been trying to go to Virginia City for some reason, they don't understand why. We understand that her fever is down. She seems to be both sick and having a baby or sick from having a baby. You know what I mean? Like the confluence of her being very sick and having a baby seems to be unexplored a little bit there.

And now we get into the realization these guys, she's going to give birth any minute now. Haas says she's going to be needing a woman to help with the birthing. He puts together a meal of wild roots and mesquite beans and there's a lot to talk about that meal, which looks like coal slaw. And, uh, that what they they they they they they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, and they, and they, and they, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and thi, and tho, and tho, and th, and th, and tho, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and their, and their, and their, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and thi, and thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that, that, that, uh, uh, uh, and that, uh, uh, and that, uh, and thooooooooooooooooooom an, and that, looks like coal slough and then what happens there's a yeah that's long they get real nervous around this woman who has such lovely eye makeup and Haas strokes her hair as she drinks and then he sort of sidecoaches her through eating and and explains to her this is good Indian food after they've all talked for so long about how hideously terrible this food is.

How does he know it's Indian food? Yep. Did he order it? Yeah, baby he had it delivered. No, it couldn't have. They're way up on a mountain. I don't know. I couldn't have had it delivered. But, yeah, he persuades her to eat for the baby. And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the baby, and, the baby, the baby, the baby, the baby, the baby, the the the the th thi, 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, the, they, they, they, they, their, their, their, their, the the the the the the the the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiia, thia, thi, thi delivered. But yeah, he persuades her to eat for the baby.

And what else happens here? He says, any female carrying a young just naturally knows what's expected, he says. But now, and then the other thing is that Haas is 100% sure if they try to take her down this mountain, she will die. And Joe says, well, how do you know? And he says, I know that I 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 th that th they try to take her down this mountain, she will die. And Joe says, well how do you know? And he says, I know that much about females. Well it's true, you cannot take a woman down a mountain, they will die because look what happens in the end of this film. She comes down and dies. That is a good damn point. That is a fair point. She was perfectly alive the entire time she was up on top of that hill. Yep. I really don't get what the big hoot is about. Both of my children were snowbirths. Snowbirds? You had them outdoors in the snow?

Exactly. It's a very natural way. So how did Buzz become a wild child? He just scampered off into the wilderness from his birth and would fall off on all fours. Wow. Man. Well, good for him. And then we have a weird scene there where Joe is trying to gather up more mesquite beans and he sees his sheep again that he'd like to shoot and he says the words dog gone, 17 times in this scene. And then there's a little bit bit th, th, th, th, th, there, th, th, there, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, tho, tho, tho, thus, the, tho, tho, tho, tho, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, th. Well, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho. Well, tho. Well, tho. tho. Well, tho. Well, tho. Well, tho. Well, tho. thimes in this scene. And then there's a little bit of a, you know how I'll remember when Abbot and Costello always had this problem where the fat one would see something and then by the

time the skinny one got there, it was gone and the skinny one didn't believe he ever saw it. Yeah. They had a little one of them there with their big horn sheep. And then uh, oh, but about to shoot him and he hears Hoss's voice in his head saying, don't waste our ammunition, but he decides to do it anyway. And then the real hoss appears and says just, just exactly what he said in his fantasy. It was real strange. It was like, psychedelic. Then we get to, back at camp, a lean to has been made and it is very unclear who made it because no time at all. In no time at all this very nice lean-to has been made to shelter the pregnant Shoshone girl and Joe says hey you should get her to make me one

of those and Haas says well you just let me know when you're pregnant and I will and so okay. Hilarious joke. They're having a lot of fun boy oh boy these two they couldn't 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 they they they they they they they they they they they 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 th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the 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 thi thi the. They're having a lot of fun. Boy, oh boy, these two are just, they couldn't be more nervous about having to give birth up there with this lady. And they seem to be like kind of in love with her too because she's beautiful. They're just, they're just bumbling around the two of them.

It's unbelievable. Well, you know what? I looked at the description of the next episode and let me read it to you because this pertains. It's called El Toro Grande. Ben sends Haas and Joe to Monterey to purchase an expensive seed bowl. The first of the blocker and Landon's many comic misadventures. Now get this, although the casual use of violence as in the rapier fight is oddly uncharacteristic for the series, Hoss reveals his real name to be Eric for the first time. Wow. That's quite an episode coming up. Holy macaroni. So in the next episode is the first time we ever find out that Haas' real name is Eric. And apparently we're gonna have some Joe and Hoss adventures along the way just the two of them. I guess they figured after thi after after after after after after after after after after after after after after after after they they they they they they they they they they they they the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their j. 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 their their. their. their. their. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. th. th. th. th. th. their. their. their. the two of them? I guess they figured it after this episode that these two are like a classic comedy team. Unless instead of scavenging old single-use pilots they took an actual series of two cowboys on the range and

just planted it into Bonanza. That could be it. Well now this here is the scene that I believe Amy Sleverson was talking about, Amy when you was talking about her, Amy, when you was talking about your husband home birthing kit. It's our home husband birthing kit, 799-799. 79. 79. That's, that is, I'll tell you what, that's a hell a lot cheaper than going to the damn hospital to have your baby, I'll tell you. Yes, and safer because who better than your husband will know how to knows your body. Yeah, well this is when th. starts thrown out directions. He says you've got to dig a pit for hot coals and we're going to steam some sage in there and we're going to need rabbit pelts to wrap the baby in and a cottonwood tree with dry rot to make baby powder and all this. And he just knows by heart all of the traditional ways that it Chishone's squaw expects to give birth. Does that make sense Marybill? Is that all check out? It sounds like a stay at the

four seasons to me. I didn't have a sage pit when I was birthing my children. Did you have cottonwood dry rot pooped to a fine powder for your baby? Not that I know of but of course I was passed out in the woods alone. Oh, where was Freck?? I? I? I? I? I? I? I th that? I that?

Oh, where was Frank? I didn't realize you were there by yourself. Well, that was my one issue with this episode. You know, in my day, men weren't let anywhere near their women. I mean, I didn't see my husband for my entire pregnancy.

Oh, wow. Did he leave or did you go somewhere? I was put out. Put out to where exactly? If you don't mind me asking I'm just curious. Well at first it started I came home from my doctor's appointment and the door was locked. So I started with just a wander around the block I thought maybe Fred had accidentally locked me out but then I realized no no this was you know part of the tradition so I just as I said I wandered into the woods and I had a snowbirth and he doesn't let you keep a key to the house no where would I put it I don't have pockets I don't

have room in my purse I can't be trusted with a key the jagged edge is on a key you just tear up the lining of your purse, I guess. Right. Yeah, I never called that. Of course. Until they figure, until the scientist invent a round key. I'll be knocking. You're wonderful, Mary Pell.

Well, Amy, as I said, I see a lot of potential in you. Thank you so much. I think you could be well on your way this time next year to becoming the complete woman. I would like to be made complete by yourself. Oh, that's beautiful. I feel like this is the beginning of something beautiful for both of these ladies. I guarantee it or your husband's money back. I always thought that this show on Bonanza would turn into a feminist triumph. Yeah, well,

clearly it's always had the makings of that just by nature of the show we're talking about. Well, did we miss, did I miss the part where he has to ask her for all of her information before he's going to help her? Where Haas, that part of the scene, did the scene, did the scene, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did I the practice, did, did I the practice, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did I 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 he's going to help her. Where Haas, that part of the scene where, because it reminded me of a practice that we do at church called Christian giving, where you're generous, but only if you have a background check on the person before they give you help. It's charity, but we, you need to have an I-9 and a gas bill.

Oh. That's smart thinking. That's just smart. That's for a sandwich, a peanut butter jelly sandwich that I just made. Well, you don't want to do a favor for someone and find out they may not return the favor. You just end up getting hurt. You got to get vouching and credit. Yeah, as soon as I find out they don't have that, you know what, 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, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I don't, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's, that's that's that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th, th, th, th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th. that's that's that's that's that's that's the, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the, that's the, the, th credit yeah yeah as soon as I find out they don't have that you know what identification I grab that sandwich right back from yeah and I nine ain't worth nothing to unless you're there with your driver's license and your social security card or your

passport so you got to see all that stuff before you're gonna hand over that sandwich because otherwise it would it might not go to someone who's deserving. Yeah, now you're referring to this moment where Haas is talking about how they're going to take certain steps to prevent a woman and her baby from dying and Joe says why she hadn't even told us her name. Yeah, that you've got to know. And he asked the several times, you've got to know, and then he asked you several times, you know, who are you, tell us who you are, tell us why you're here, and she doesn't say anything because she doesn't have any lines. That's right, yeah, well that's true, right now, so we haven't mentioned that.

She is, there's a lot of discussion as to whether she understands them or not. She appears to understand them, but she never opens her mouth to say a word this whole time. And her expression is sometimes coy and sometimes very neutral. There's a moment where they physically move her from lying down to sitting up and she, she, she, how would you explain it? The only way I would explain it is her expression, the entire episode is, I am not an expectant mother. Right.

Or, I, I am, I am a background actor, and I will not be getting an upgrade. I know what you're saying though, that scene where they sat her up, there was something, I don't know what her inner monologue was, but it felt like, that, but it felt like, th, that, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, that, that, th, that, that, th, that, that that thi, thi, that thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, 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, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their thi, thi, thi, thru. thi. thoo. thoooo. the. thooooo. the. thi, their their, the you're saying though, that scene where they sat her up, there was something, I don't know what her inner monologue was, but it felt like, oh, am I going for a drive? It's like, yeah, she allows it to happen to her. Yeah. Well, you men don't do that where every once in a while, when something traumatic is happening you leave your body and watch from above like you're not inside yourself anymore? No, if anything I go further in my body. Yeah. Surely Amy's done this. Oh yes I got tiddy twisters from Dave Hawkinson and

kindergarten and every time I think of it I can't feel my face. Your face is what you can't feel. Yes. You know when your cheeks always are burning because you're so embarrassed all the time and then suddenly all the blood runs from my head when I think is at time. Uh-huh, that's a beautiful memory. Well, folks, the next thing we see is is I think one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen in my whole life in any damn thing. Is it because the music tells you so? The music, thank God, the music told me, hey man, get ready to be what do you think like 10 degrees?

I mean it's... And for real for the actors because we was talking about that earlier. Cold, mountain, snowy, just about frozen over. But there's some ducks have landed in it and they decide they want to save their ammo so they're not going to shoot a duck, but man they do want to eat one. And Haas has a plan where they camouflage themselves as a log covered in leaves and they get in the water up to their necks and hiding behind this log to get real close to those ducks and man, oh man, if Hoss doesn't have to sneeze just as they're about to be right on top of these ducks.

And what does he do? He puts his head underwater or Joe forces his head underwater and he sneezes under water and all these bubbles come up. Man, oh man did I laugh. Never seen anything that funny before. And then Joe succeeds in catching a real live duck. This is an actual live duck which he grabs and pulls underwater and up again and then for some reason puts its neck in his mouth. Yeah he holds it with his teeth like a like a hunting hound. Yeah that was an interesting choice and we talked about this before that sometimes there's there's real live animals just being handled by these actors in interesting ways. This was one of those times. Yeah usually birds and they're usually being abused. Yeah I would say I would I'm surprised that there wasn't somebody on the

set saying oh please don't grab the duck by your teeth. Oh, I'm not. I've been grabbed by the teeth. Oh, you've been grabbed by the teeth? Yeah, I just, my husband kind of does it. He'll grab me a little bit by my neck. You know, if I get too far ahead of them in the grocery. Well, that's actually a real technique to subdue a woman you just

grab them by the nape of their neck just like a little kitten. Wow. How do you what what's too far ahead of them is there? Oh it's like I start getting out of control and you know he's he's deep in the puddings and I'm already thinking about cakes. I see. You know? Yeah so it's not there's not like a number of feet 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 their. their their. their. their. 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. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. the. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. the. the. thethinking about cakes. I see. You know, yeah. So it's not it's not there's not like a number of feet or anything like that. It's more like a you know and when you feel it like it's a real abandonment of ideas. Okay. You know where I am not letting him experience what he needs to experience and I'm already in the next food I'm already in the next moment you know it's item based so he's gone you've gone from cake from pudding and he wants to stay in pudding and can't

process putting and I I mean I don't say this but it's basically my body language is saying fuck you oh yeah he can he could pick right up on that at least that's what he says I say with my body language yep ti up the time. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the thi the the the the the the the the 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I th. I th. I th. I thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi ti ti ti. I ti. I ti. I ti. I ti. I ti. I ti. I'm ti. I'm ti. I'm thi At least that's what he says I say with my body language. Yep, time to bite you in the neck. Maribel, just Franklin ever joined you on your trips to the grocery store? Does he even know where it is? Can you imagine? No, absolutely not. My husband doesn't even know what a grocery store is?

Really? He thinks everything I serve is grown and made with love right in our home. Excuse me. What is a grocery store? See? Now, I'm so surprised your single mutt. You seem like a real catch. Well, I am, but I'm living in a shipping container up on the North Lakeshore, Tahoe, and there's not only any women around here, there's no one around here. Yeah, that makes it hard to meet it, potential spouts. You got any single friends that would like to come up here or I could come down for a while?

Hmm, one comes to mind, Janice. Janice, what's she like? She's four foot eight and a redhead. Wow, so she's angry all the time. She's a firecracker. Wow, okay. I mean that's a lot like my former girlfriend Pris. She was a little taller but she was still upset all the time so I'd be interested anyway. Oh yeah, she was a handful. I just wanted to ask is she perhaps 12? She's so small. That's a good question. She might be. I'll have to run the numbers on that. You might want to take a look at an I-9. Yeah I don't know about that. Some some 12-year-old's iron is

available. Right, that's true. Well anyways, let's talk about the duck on a spit. They roast a duck on a spit in the next scene and then they're going to set some rabbit snags and then they do that and I couldn't figure out I think that was just a stuffed rabbit like yeah right they didn't kill real rabbit. Yeah because it was stiff though I did get the feeling it was a stuffed real rabbit. Yes right I think that may have been it. What was little joke? Went and killed a rabbit and stuffed it. Yeah probably there on the range because they shot some of that for real outside. Yeah.

Oh boy, isn't that interesting? There's one scene in particular where Haas and Joe walked toward each other in the out of doors and by the time they get to each other, they're on clearly on a sound stage. Yeah. It's wild. The scenic coordination, because I imagine they must have shot many episodes when they'd go out to Nevada. How they did it all, I don't know. I can't imagine. Well, it's kind of how intimacy works. Like at the first you mean it, and then as you

gradually go closer and spend more time with somebody, you get more artificial. Right. Oh, that is, you're right. That's a good metaphor for relationships. It's authentic in the beginning. I treat my husband like he's a Hilton, Hilton honors guest. Yeah. Well, isn't that nice? I think you're on the right track.

Oh, lovely. But folks, we need to talk about the show a girl going into labor. 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. to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the thi, 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 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. the, thi. ti. ti. ti. ti. ti. time. time. time. ti... ti. tea. tea. tea. tea. tetalk about the Shishonek girl going into labor and the particular way in which she went into labor. Joe has made a arrow, he's made a bow and arrow, supposed to aid in the hunting up there. I don't know how long they think they're going to be there, but he took the time to make a bow and arrow and he accidentally fires the arrow and hoss thinks they've come under attack by engines, which is something they're concerned about anyway because here they are hanging out with this missing squaw. Was that accidental? I thought that was on purpose. Oh, did he do it on purpose? I think he was being, this is the biggest asshole Joe's ever been in this episode. Yeah, so he's fooling around. He fires an arrow near to hoss just to kind to the the the the to the he.. to to kind. to he he he he. he. he. he. he. he, he, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho, thi, thi, thi, tho, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. He, th. He, th. He, he, he, thi, he's, thi, he's, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, hea, hea, hea, hea, hea, hea, thi. He's, thi's, thi. He's, thi, th and he fires an arrow near to Hoss just to kind of, just to fuck with him.

Just to fuck with it. Well, all right, I guess that did happen. So now they start laughing. Joe is laughing and laughing about this prank that he pulled. I believe Hauss joins in on the laughter, right? Yeah. So now everybody's laughing and then who begins to laugh and as Joe says, sphinx has a sense of humor it's our Shoshoney squall and she is laughing and then bang the agony of labor that is her reward for having a moment of joy there yeah that's it that makes that baby come that's what you get for preferring physical comedy yeah that's right why didn't she appreciate any of their witty rip arte? Nope. She had to wait until they was bumbling around with

a bow and arrow. Maribel, does that happen when you had your kids you just laugh to induce labor or watch a three stooges short? No, I've never laughed. Oh, heavens. Wow. It's just nothing's really ever gotten me. Have you ever tickled yourself? Oh, not exactly. Oh, do tell. Interesting. But you've come close it sounds like.

I've come close. Okay. All right, well, so this baby gets born. Joe at one point says, I don't know nothing about having babies coming real close to a classic line from the Gone With the Wind. I thought of that. Yep. But out comes the baby. Swaddley. the Shishone today tradition dictates in rabbit pilets. And Hauss teaches Joe how to hold a baby. How does he also know how to cut an um a the the the the the the the the the the the theiricalicalicalicalicalicalical. to to to to to to to cut in to to cut to to the to the to the baby. the baby. to the baby. the baby. todic. todic.

How does Hoss know? I don't know. The Shishone girl. How does he also know how to cut an umbilical cord and wipe the placental sack?

But he did that too. He did that too. Well, wipe the placental sack? Look, I told you, I don't know what a grocery store is. Man, how to know how to do to do to do to do to do to do to do everything to do everything to do everything to do everything to do everything to do everything to do everything to do everything to do everything to do everything to do everything to do everything to do everything to do everything everything to do everything to do everything to do everything to do everything to do everything to do everything to do everything everything everything to do everything to do everything to do how to do everything in terms of the septic, septics. Yeah, thank you. Obstetrics. Oh, obstetrics. Oh, obstetrics, yeah. Well, and then finally the Shishone girl speaks and she asks if her baby is all right.

And she speaks as Haas says, you speak better English than I do. And then Haas delivers the most beautiful compliment for her baby. He says, your baby, thiiiiiiiiiii to to to to to to to to to know to know to know to know to know to know to know to know to know to know to know to know to know to know how to know how to know how to know how to know how to know how to know toooss delivers the most beautiful compliment for a baby. He says, your baby, she's as pretty as a brand new penny. They're beautiful. You imagine that? A child is pretty as a brand new penny. I can't even imagine. She's as pretty as a metallurized, flattened Abraham Lincoln. Yeah, yeah. Or whoever it would have been in 1859.

Good point. They would have had a... They... I don't know, maybe it was a young Abe Lincoln. Right? Yeah, he's that young one that's reading all the time by candlelight and a cabin. That's who was on them pennies. Anyway, beautiful nonetheless. Yep, but then he says, but she ain't a girl. She's a boy and the woman seems upset and he says, well, I thought all Shoshoney women made big medicine to their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. they they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they's they're they's they's they're they're they're they're they're they's they's right. they's right. they's right. they's right. they's, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right. they's. they's. they's. they's. they's. they's. they's. they's. they's. they's. they's. they's. they's. they's. I. I. I. I's. they're they're they're their. their. their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. they're the. And the woman seems upset. And he says, well, I thought all Shoshone women made big medicine to their gods, so they had nothing but baby boys. And then, well, that creates a mystery of why she's upset. It's a boy.

And as a matter of fact, I don't believe we ever have a solution to that mystery. No. We do learn in this scene that the baby has has has has has has has has has has has has has has has has thiaiaia thiaiaia. thia. thia thia. thia thia thiiiiii. thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's a thi's a boy. thi's a boy. thi's a boy. thi's a boy. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi. thi's thi. thi's thi's thi. thi's thi's thii's thiiiiiiiiiiiii's thiiiiii's thii's thi. She anyway, we do learn in this scene that the baby has blue eyes and as Hoss says, ain't no Indian baby ever had blue eyes. So his father must be a white man, and that gets us a major sting of music and a commercial break. That's a big deal. Now we understand this woman was trying to make her way to Virginia City all by herself away from her tribe and her, the baby's father must be a white man. Holy crap. A whole pick of trouble.

Yeah, but so many Indians on the show before have had blue eyes so I don't understand what the problem is. Most of them. Right, mostly they have. Well, then we see a scene where there's no birds, no living things anywhere around and Haas knows that that means that the storm is due and they can't go down till tomorrow or oh this is the moment where Joe says we don't even know her name and and Hauss has a good line. He says this has been worrying you like a hound dog with a bird in his rump. But Joe Joe says he's going to interrogate out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out th out th out th out th out th out th out th out th out th out th out that's th out 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 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 th. th. th. th. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the the the the thi the the the the the thi thi thi thi the thi thi thi thi th Joe Joe says he's gonna interrogate her he's gonna find out what's up right and then he does he does he has yeah he's found a war medicine bag a Shishone war medicine bag and he like confronts her with it he pulls it out from

behind her back just to see what her reaction is. Like he's a real investigator out there. And but what he doesn't know is that a Shishone woman is forbidden to even look at a war medicine bag. So now he's tricked her into looking at it. I don't know. But then he acknowledges it's a faux paw. Oh yeah. Are there things that women shouldn't look at outside of Chishone culture, Maribel?

The sun. Well, you mean directly at the sun? Yes, directly at the sun is a big no-no. You should also never ever stare directly into your husband's genitals. Into them. And when the orchestra, the indigenous orchestra is playing trombones and French horn music and piccolos to announce themselves, you also look away. That's absolutely right. I'm learning more on this episode than I ever have. No kidding. I now know how to go

to a grocery store and wipe a placental sack. I think Amy and I should have been consulted for this episode. Yeah, yeah, it sounds that way. Well now, oh, so, okay, they decide they've got to go. Storm's coming. We've got to get down this hill. Whatever the risks to mother and child. And they've got the squaws on a horse and at some point she falls off and they they decide to rest for a while. Now we see finally Ben Cartwright and Adam Cartwright. They haven't been in the episode at all, but they arrive with a couple of ranch hands and they are worried and they are looking for Hauss and Joe. Now Joe, now we got them all sitting there eating their hot coal slaw again and there's dogs yelping and and oh yeah this is that weird little moment where they go to sleep and they wake up and there's a knife in

the war bag and the Shoshony girl is gone, she's been replaced by a bunch of leaves under her blanket and hoss again, again, Hoss has just so much, up until now, Hoss has been dumb as a brick. But now, the amount of knowledge in Hoss's brain, he says, ain't no Indian war party would stuff this blanket full of weeds just to fool us. He knows that would never happen. It's like this episode wasn't written for these characters.

I can't figure it out. Almost like that. Where he's showing the signs of late onset autism. Oh, maybe that's right. Yeah, he's got a dull onset autism that suddenly allows him to have encyclopedic knowledge of certain, I think that you're onto something there. Well now, uh, what happens? So they realize that the Shoshone girl has run away from them and they go to try and find her and who else is looking for her, but a whole bunch of engines? And now we got Ben and Adam and a whole bunch of engines and Joe and Hoss and the Shoshone

girl all kind of meeting up in a big kind of problem. We got a problem. And, uh, but the engines are, I guess, easily scared off by the sound of gunfire, right? Isn't that what happens? Yeah. Despite the fact that they're excellent trumpet players. Is that right? Did they bring along a trumpet on their?

Well, every time they show up, it's a beautiful flourish from from the horn section. Oh my I didn't pick up on that this time. Well okay so now it turns out them engines are gone that thread is over and Ben they end up back at the ranch. Ben is real mad that his two sons got involved in all this baby business. He says, coming between a Shoshone woman and her people is just plain stupid. And then we have the second time in this episode that I laughed so hard I had to lie down for an hour. This was a Hop Singh comes in.

He says, next time you bring baby home, you bring laundry boy. Hop Singh got no time for washing diaper. Oh man, oh man, that Hops thing. Isn't every time, every time. He opens his mouth. Is that when they tell Hop Singh to go to bed? No, that was later. That's later when Ben puts Hop Singh to bed. He sends him to bed with that stuff.

That's what I do to bed and he takes one of my antipsychotics and he is out and then I can get some stuff done. Yeah, sometimes you send somebody to bed. Well and then the men go up and they see the show shown the girl and she's the doctor is there and what what oh yeah that's when we first see this baby who's eyes are famously blue and I didn't see any blue in those eyes. No, and that's taken into account even people who end up with brown eyes often have blue eyes at birth and they still couldn't find one of them. Yeah, right, good point. So oops a daisy, Bonanza. But, and then we have a scene now where's, oh yeah, we, we understand, we understand, we understand, we understand, we understand, we understand, we the mother, the mother, the mother, the mother, the mother, the mother, the mother, the mother, the mother, the mother, the mother, the mother, the mother, the mother, the mother, the mother, the mother, that, that's, the mother, the mother, that's, the mother, the mother, the mother, the mother, the the the the the the the 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, the the the that's, the the the th. th. th. th. 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. that's th. that's that's th. that's that's that's the. that's that's that's that's where's oh yeah, we understand the mother is unwell

I still don't know what she's unwell with and what that's all about but nobody does Nope, but then hop sing wakes up Ben Cartwright and urgent urgently and Ben Cartwright goes up there and I do have this clip, but I don't know if it were showing but I'm gonna I'm glad I'm glad to show it show it show it show it. Oh, okay, all right see that it. See that it. See that it. See that it. See that it. See that it. See that it. See that it. See that it. See that it. See that it. See that it. See that it.

Okay, all right see that it worked. I made you big I was glad to see hop scene wake up Ben Cartwright because I thought he was dead in that chair the way he is sleeping. Yeah, his leg placement was really specific. Yeah, now are you seeing what I want you to be seeing? Yeah. Yes, sir. Here we go. This is this scene where Ben Cartwright He just wants to get some dirt. He's he's he's he wants to trade and gossip before Something happens. Well, here we go He's tending to the feverish new mother

Do you hear me? I've sent for the doctor again. Before he gets here I want you to tell me who your child's father is. Before the doctor gets her, tell me. He says he's swabbing her down with a wet cloth. I haven't been swapped like that since 1954. Sounds a good year. He should be here with you. You tell me and I'll send for him. You tell me who the father is and I'll send for him. He says, well that sounds good and it sounds like it. That's all going to work out great.

Except, what's that look on? Ben Cartwright's face. Can it be? He killed another one. He killed another woman with his goddamn water swabbing. He was dabbing her down with acid or cyanide. We've learned that he's, he's just constantly can't stop talking. Yeah, yeah. He's needy. Maybe I don't know I don't think of being Cartwright as needy but he just really wanted to get that

dirt I think on who the father is of course I mean of course you want to know that anytime. It's a mystery. Who's the father? And tell me now before Doc gets here, because he wants to be the only one that knows. And so he can kind of walk around for a couple of days, like, I know who the father is and whatnot, tease everybody. I think, you know, trying where a fellow shows up, Sumner Kyle has shown up with his boy Jason, who was in that movie about that, aliens.

And Jason is that, he's a handsome, isn't Jason a handsome young actor? He sure is. Now, he says, alludes to something where he just tried to bribe Ben Cartwright. Is that something from an episode we saw or they just didn't clear that from this new script that wasn't for Bonanza? Yeah, I wondered that too and I looked and we ain't never met this character before now. Okay, just checking. But yeah, there is some very specific dialogue. Last time I was here I tried to bribe you and it didn't work. Well now you even learned. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I to learn. I to learn. to learn. to learn. to learn. to to to to to th. to to th. th. th. 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. 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. th. th. th. th. your lesson. Yeah, I think maybe that was something, somehow, something that they forgot to cut from the script. It was a, they have a script writing service. It's called Cut and Paste.

And you just, you take other scripts, and then you just take what you like, and then and then you, it gets made. Yeah, okay, that would explain it. But, but, but th. But, but th. But, but 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. that, thi, that, th. th. th. Something, somehow, somehow, somehow, somehow, somehow, somehow, somehow, somehow, somehow, somehow, somehow, somehow, somehow, somehow, somehow, somehow, somehow, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they. they's, they's, they's they. they's, they're, they're, they're they're, they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're then you it gets made. Yeah, okay, that would explain it. But now here's where we learn that Jason Sumner, son of a wealthy man, or no, Jason Kyle, son of a wealthy man, is the father of this blue-eyed baby that's been born. And they got married, he insists, but his father says, well, in an

Indian ceremony that ain't real and they love one another now surely in this scene we are going to learn the name of the Shoshone girl right from her loving husband yeah well no he never utters it that character will never get a name but what is she credited as? Show-Shoney girl. Well maybe we should give her a name. How about Diane? Oh, I love it. That's a great one. And it's got Dye in it, which is what she's already done.

Yeah, and it sounds very Native American. Sure does. Very authentic. Yeah. That's a great one. Yeah. Now, I'm going to play you a little clip from this scene because this young man, he is madly in love with this Shoshone girl and he is so excited to be reunited with her and and this baby and to be together. And Ben, uh, Ben withholds for a long time the fact that she is dead. I guess because he wants to tell Jason in the most sensitive and careful way that he can, which then finally he does. So let's just take a look at this scene which is really a scene about you know how sort of difficult it can be to give somebody bad news. Here we go.

Conrad, I want you to send the girl and the child back to her people. That's the rich man. I'm ready to pay well for her silence. Kyle, you didn't worry too much about the girl. I doubt very much whether she would embarrass you. Right. Because... She's never mentioned the name of the child's father. Okay. Do you mean you didn't know?

No. I didn't know. Obviously she was too much in love with your son to want to cause him any trouble. Now he did say was... He did put her in the past, Tents. is she? Oh where is he? He's so excited. He's so excited. Upstairs? Upstairs? Could still be alive as far as he knows. Yep. This is how I tell the key. Jason, she's dead. There you go. No need to sugarcoat it. Bang.

Jason, she's good. I tell my husband and you know, what he got, I got him for Christmas and I go, I didn't get you anything. And then he just runs down to the Christmas tree anyways. And there's something down there for him, I reckon. Oh no! There's nothing! You didn't get your husband- even-

Because we're really struggling right now. Oh, yeah, I understand. You said you tripled your inventory of your Revelations pillows? Yeah, because I believe in my business and I believe in myself and, you and I'm it's it's my business and and you know it's all about success and just keep trying. Yeah what does it mean to triple the inventory how many how many pillows do you have? I have over a thousand pillows at last count. Oh boy. And there's specific biblical quotes that some people are comfortable in having in the last count. Oh, boy. And there's specific biblical quotes that some people are comfortable in having in their family living space.

But that's why I thought they might be fun or more interesting or non-copyrated. And anyways, they aren't as they are moving. Okay, all right, but folks, folks listening out there if you want they are moving. Okay all right but folks folks listen out there if you want to bail Amy out and listen her load somewhat go ahead to lots daughters and buy some of these revelation pillows they got quotes on there you say they're people don't want in their living room? Well, the seven-headed it.

Okay it's a devil-horsearning-well? Well, the the the the the the devil-headed, okay it's a devil horse and that that's one of the signs that the apocalypse and then it comes to eat the baby. Anyways I'm just I'm just saying it explaining that I'm not quoting it directly but it's kind of descriptions of things that sometimes people don't, I guess from what I've been customer feedback is they just, they don't like the polyester lining and they also don't like the violence of the imagery. I see, okay, so there's some very sort of explicit descriptions of what will happen at the end timestimes and it's just a it's just a lot for a living room sofa. I think it could match my motif perfectly actually. Oh yeah how so? What's your motif over there? Sort of a mixture of ditsy florals and burn in hell reds.

That's I definitely it is all those pillows are the red of you know what's going to happen to most people. Yeah. I understand it's a really limited number who are getting into heaven we're going to fly. Oh really? That's your understanding? Very limited number. Yeah well. Yes, very limited number. Yeah, well. But more than the number of pillows that I have. And I also, I, this has been selling well. The home husband birth kit has been really flying off the shelf. So, you know, if you're looking for labor tugging sticks, these are sticks that you hold when your wife gives birth

and you squeeze them really hard, so that you don't punch her and tell her to stop screaming. That's one of the things Hoss understood. You've got to drive some wooden stakes into the ground. And I'd be ready for that. You know I'll keep a stake of wood down my pant legs at all times case I used to run into a vampire which I'm not supposed to talk about on this podcast and I didn't but yeah so I'd be ready for for that one part of birth and an Indian girl in the woods

I'd be ready for her. But anyway yeah so now she has she is dead and Amy you must have enjoyed this we get her it's her funeral 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. the. It's th. th. It's the. 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's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I's. I. I. I's. I's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's th. It's t t t t t t t t te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. I'm. I'm. I'm. I dead. And Amy, you must have enjoyed this. We get, it's her funeral, and Ben Cartwright reads a very long passage from the Bible. He goes, just reads the Bible. Finally, finally, there's something I kind of knew the words to and I could, you know, pray along with the show. Yeah, this is the first time we've had an actual reading from the Bible on the show, believe it or not. When I've memorized all the lines from the show before I've done them and kind of shadow play at home with, you know, lamps at night, you know, for my husband, it's been so hard to remember all the lines. So this is, it was a real break for me 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, their, 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, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, they.a, they.a, to, they.a, to, to, to, they.a, they.a, they.a, they.a, they.a, the, the, the, my husband. It's been so hard to remember all the lines.

So this was a real break for me to just do the prayer. It's like, oh, I know that one. Boy, you guys have a lot of fun over there. I'll tell you, that sounds great. I'd love to say one of those shows. Well, also, at this funeral, of all those Shoshone Braves right up and that's usually a cause for some alarm, but it's not going to make Ben Cartwright stop reading his Bible. He gets to the end of that passage, sure enough. And this is when we learn a very interesting ending for this episode, where it is

understood that the chief over there is damn well going to want this baby, which is his grandson. So Jason, Kyle, is not going to end up with this baby. Forget it. Between the two, the chief is taking his grandson, too bad, and that's when Jason, he's got a solution to the problem. He just leaves the white world and heads off with the engines. He's going to stay with his little son there and live with

the Shishone. And this is not something he describes with the Shishone Indians at all. They have no idea this is coming. He just kind of walks over there and he says to Ben Carrey, he says, Tell my father I've gone home. Yeah, hence to Ben Cartwright, he says, Tell my father I've gone home. Yeah, hence the title, The Last Hunt, which makes total sense. That was quite a twist. I think I screamed at the top of my lungs. You weren't seeing that coming that that Jason Kyle was going to just go native.

Not by a mile. Yeah. Well, I also seemed like the the the the the the to to to to to to to me to me to me to me to me to be to be to be the to be.. I the the the the the to be. I the the the the the the th. I was. I was. I was. I was, I was. I was, I was, that way, the the the the that the tie. tie. tie. tie. 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. He. He. He. He. He. He. th. He was, th. th. th. th. toda. today. today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, I also seem like the tribe was a little surprised. It did seem that way. Oh, you need a ride or somewhere? And there was no dialogue. We just happened to be going the same direction and then we're going to have awkward split at a second where we got to take the baby and say goodbye. Nope. Come in the whole way home with you. How's this going to work? Yeah. This is another beautiful example of the no-line school of acting where, you know, we do scene studies of entire groups of people who say nothing about that, what's going on in a scene and a beautiful example of that. Yeah, he didn't, nobody, none of them should have said a

single word about this fancy rich boy, blonde-haired fella joining up with their tribe from now on. They just kind of said, well all right, here we do. He's also getting into a carriage, right? Which feels like might be tough to take over some of the mountain switchback trails for sure like Cinderella going to the ball That is it well that ends this episode and now that brings our Female love interest body count to nine and 15 episodes. We have now lost nine women that includes a Ben Cartwright's three wives and and Julia Boulette and Hattie Johnson and Sue L and Terry and I forget the name of Haas's

love but now that we had Shoshone girl to that list. Diane. Diane the Shoshone girl. Well there you go and now I'm sad to say we'll only have 416 episodes left of this show to discuss. It's creeping up on us. Oh no. It's terrible. No. I know. Yeah, I was thinking, I don't know.

Well, next week is the El Toro episode you're saying? Yeah. El Toro Grande. Oh, is there going to be a car? No, it's a bull. And we go down to Mexico. Oh, oh, Mexico. Oh, you're kidding.

All right. In Mexico. Well, that's exciting. I'm looking forward to that. Folks, any last things you want to plug or final observations about this episode anything anybody wants to get him before we'll wrap it up? Well, I will say that that that that that that that that so we're in for a real hot street coming up. Man oh man, that is a hot, hot. I just want to wish everybody happy holidays and if you haven't done your Christmas shopping

or you could if you just had you a couple dollars you could spare. You know, please consider a lot's daughters for all your gift-giving needs. We have candles and earrings and, and of course, the husbandry, a birthing kit and Revelation's pills and everything. Tragedy charms. Got some tragedy. Yeah. Tragedy charms for anything that's gone wrong in your life that you know that everyone

could remember, you know, whether it's a drunk driving accident or if it's something that you didn't mean to do that caused someone else's demise or death like, oh no, we left the pool gate open. Oh boy, so you've got a tragedy charm that depicts an open pool gate? Yes. Do you have a tragedy charm of kindergarten tiddy twisters? I thought it was so specific it might not be a big seller. Oh, I see. Well, you know better than me.

Those are tough judgment calls. I've got my shipping container decorated for Christmas if anybody wants to come by and see it. It's really just string lights spelling out help on the roof because I am stranded and have not seen a human and I don't know how long. I'm using my razor phone as a hot spot to do this internet recording right now, but I could use some help.

That's, I don't like to use this podcast as a plea for help, but I literally do need some help. All right, well, if you're up in the Lake Tahoe area, around where they shot this episode in the Ponderosa and you feel like helping Mutt Taylor, go on and do that. How's that? Yeah, because I appreciate that and this episode hit home especially because I am subsiding completely on mesquite beans and wild roots. So it does smell, let me tell you. Oh yeah, yeah. Well that's good Indian food there. Yeah, Maribel, what you got going on?

I would encourage everyone including Amy to check out my latest audio series called the Complete Christmas which is all about a 1960s housewife, Mois, who loses her mind and decides she wants to cancel Christmas, but is then visited by her three magical appliances of Christmas past, present, and future and learns the true meaning of Christmas. So where can people find that? That is available anywhere you get your audio series, Spotify, Apple, you just punch it in there the complete Christmas it's called. That's correct. That's what like it is like an eight-episode audio journey through Christmas? It's a six-episode audio journey

exactly. Okay all right. Very good. I love you. I love you Mary Bell. Thank you so much Amy and I will be expecting those corn husk dolls. Yeah. Yeah watch for those in in the mail or by personal delivery by Amy Sleverson if her husband allows for that much of a journey. Amy went quiet. I don't feel like you got confirmation that you're going to get those dolls, but I think that might be on purpose. I don't know.

She did go silent. All right folks. All right folks. Well, I'd say we've just about done her once again. That's a the the the the their 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, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th.

A. A. A. And, th No, that's true. All right, folks. Well, I'd say we've just about done her once again. That's an episode of Bonanas for Bonanza, and next time we'll talk about another one. Yep.
