heard that on it on a National Geographic show but who'd you shoot at this time
but Taylor? Well this one goes out to the great actress Veronica Cartwright who was
in the movie Alien she played Lambert but mostly just because her last name's
cartwright you know I mean she deserves you can how it's trusts to cartwright yeah that's for sure 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 th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the th th the th th th th the th the th the the the the th the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the the the the the the the to the to the the the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the t. tree tree tou tree tou tree tou tou tree tou tou tou tou tou tou tou tou tou tou tou tou to shoot You can always trust a cartwright.

You never met her.
No, but if she knows what's good for her, she should be.
She damn well should be.
Yeah.
Well, okay, that onethat's oh well here's how I start the show I say
hello friend come on in the gate is open wide welcome to bananas for bonanza
I'm your host Dalton Wilcox cowboy and the cowboy poet from the heart of the
American West the real American West we're talking about the best TV show ever
about the American West Bonanza and today we will be discussing season one, episode 18, a house divide.
Oh no.
And man, this episode has got everything.
It's got brawling, a city slicker, and the very abrupt death of a female love interest.
Also, this episode concerns in Civil War, so it deals with a couple of things we thankfully don't talk about in this country anymore, insurrection and sedition.
And we have with us a wonderful guest to talk about this episode. Just right
before we get to hear though we'll check in with our regular co-host we got
as you heard already from Mutt Taylor, how you doing Mutt? Well I'm pretty good,
but I am a little sad to say that as of the day that that this, 48 years ago to the day, the last episode of Bonanza aired.
Can you believe that shit?
Are you kidding me?
No, I shit you not.
Because you know what I believe in my heart, I believe, I believe I read it, that the episode that the episode that we are talking about tonight, th, th, th, th, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, the the the the the the the the the the last, the last, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, the, the, the the the the thea thea thea thea thea tha thea tha tha tha tha tha, tha, the last tha are talking about tonight aired on this exact date in what in

All right, well, you let us know if the candy man shows up in your house there.
I'll let you know now. I've said it three times here. God damn.
Said what? What? Just candyman.
Oh, son of a bitch. I got one more time. All right. yeah that weirdness about the date that's real weird and and I also understand
you was telling us that you were you didn't get much sleep last night if
thing all right over there? Well I think last time we talked I had received four
shipping containers that I was living in except they assembled them in it in a
circle so I can't get out I can only go in a circle and I can't even go into the the middle like I have this nice courtyard in a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I was. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was.

Like, I have this nice courtyard in the middle, you know, like a terrarium.
I can't see it or go to it.
Oh, and that situation has not resolved.
Yeah, that's right.
Look, I can make a noise and it'll bounce around and come back seconds.
to the candy man.
Candyman.
You hear that about the candy man.
Oh, you devil.
Now, what else?
Let's also say hello to Amy Slaverson, our other co-hosts there.
Hello, I am so excited to talk about this episode just because it resonated with me.
For my, in my personal life, I have so many relationships that have been shattered.
Shattered, I tell you, due to differing philosophies.
Oh, really? Can you give us an example of it? Because I don't know what you mean about differing philosophies.
Well, my neighbor Kirsta across the street, she has, she does, Mary and Martha, she sells for Mary and Martha,
which I've told you before I had to start my own lots, daughters,
so that I could do multi-level marketing from home.
And, you know, we're in conflict with each other, you know,
because her ideology is home and faith.
And my ideology is hope deferred,
which is everything's gonna be okay,
but also Jesus was murdered in public,
so watch yourself.
Yeah, I have to say, I mean, maybe I'm biased, so I know you and I don't know, is her name,
is that what you said her name? Kirst?
Kirsten. You you mumble the second syllable. I didn't say oh you mumble okay that's
like John Paul Sart and then I never know whether to say Ruh after you know
he never knows yeah all the times I say John Paul Sart I go through that but yeah but I think I prefer hope deferred to home and faith I mean it just just just just it it it it it it just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the same the same the same the the same the same the same the same the same the same. the same the same. I the same the same the same the same the same the same. the same the same the same. the same the same the second. the same. the same. the same the same the same the same the same the same the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. I the same. I the same. I the same. I the same. I the same. I'm the same. I'm the the the the the same. I tus. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. the I go through that. But yeah, so, but I think, I prefer hope deferred to Home and Faith.
I mean, it just sounds better.
Sure.
It sounds like something.
It's almost exactly the same.
We're selling the same stuff.
She has John 316, but her is an aerial and mine is in Futura font.
Oh God. Well, you got the better font.
the better font and again I don't know if I'm biased but that's clearly the better
font. Just ask Wes Anderson. Yeah. That's a font joke. Yeah, that fella. You know I do font
humor. Oh you. I didn't know. Oh yeah, I mean I won't go into it now but sometimes if you want
a real good time just call me up I'll do font jokes. Yeah, I'd love to ho font jokes. jokes. I tell you what right now.
Do not show me a list of god-dam fonts where the names of the fonts are not in the
fucking font that they're the name of.
Oh, no kidding, like if it says sample?
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Unless that's the font, the ti.
And that again is a font joke. All right. I don't think I get that one, but maybe in the bonus episode we'll explain it.
Okay.
Okay.
Now, I think we're time ready to meet our guest.
Our wonderful guests.

Tell us about your Christmas movie.
Now, this is, this episode is being recorded and coming out after the Christmas of which
and for which this movie was of made of.
That's right.
But people can still, I believe, watch it. Can they know? Yes. They can watch it. They can watch. Christmas. Christmas. Christmas. Christmas. Christmas. Christmas. Christmas. Christmas. Christmas.

Can they not?
Yes, they can watch it.
They can watch it.
They can watch it.
They can watch it.
Oh, it's on Hulu.
It's on Hulu.
It's on Hulu.
OK.
So you can, it's up there right now.
to go watch it. Happiest season. What's so happy about this particular season in the lives of the characters in your motion picture?
Well, I guess I mean it's look it's Christmas time. Sure. Oh,
So the you know, which is it's gift giving. That's right gift giving and gift giving makes people happy and so that it creates a
happiest season because of that but then it's also, you know, it's for the characters,
it's a time of this family coming together
and having some growing pains together
and getting to know each other.
And that will always lead to the happiest season.
Is when you are your authentic selves?
Wow. You said that beautiful.
Most family violence happens around the holidays.
Is that right? Most family violence.
Oh no.
If you get a gift, always get it engraved so that it becomes a murder weapon, you know who did it?
Okay. It's Grandma's gun!
That is a damn good idea.
It says Grandma on it. It says grandma on it. It says it's just
well says killed by dad or whoever it is who's most violent in the family.
You don't have to do that if you're given like an oven mitt or something like that that
it'd be almost impossible to kill somebody with but that's a good piece of advice. If you're given a
gift that could possibly become a murder of weapon get it engraved.
Like I can say something like another uncle Stan manslaughter on
that knife or something that's right could you that in copper played Gothic
oh oh could I could I seriously could I use that
that is a good joke okay thank you that's funny but I think it's Amy's
well okay so people can check that movie out and in my opinion That is a good joke. Okay, thank you. That's funny, but I think it's Amy's. Well, okay.
So people can check that movie out and in my opinion should check that movie. It's got a character in there who's just not on board with Christmas at the beginning of the movie. Isn't that right?
A great. I like that. That's right. A real a real scrooge. Yeah, because that's a journey I go through every year Christmas time, I think. No, not again, but then by the time we get there, I'm, damn, I'm having a good old time firing
off guns at the ceiling.
What changes your mind every year at the last minute above Christmas?
Well, it tends to be about a fifth of rum.
Generally, by the end of a fifth of rum I've come around on it.
Come around.
And you shoot your ceiling?
You shoot at your ceiling?
Yeah.
And when I say my ceiling, I mean the stars above, because I'm a cowboy.
Oh, okay.
Because he lives in a honeycomb system of caverns and caves he dug himself and I feel like
that, if you don't do that under the big sky, you could cave it in. Oh, sure, the whole, the whole, the whole. Oh, the whole. And, the whole, the whole, and the whole, and the whole, and the whole, and the whole, and the whole, and the whole, and the whole, and the whole, and the whole, and the whole, and the whole, and the whole, and the whole, and the whole, the whole, and the whole, and you're, and you're, and you're, and you're, and you're, and you're, and you're, and you're, and you're, and you're, you're, 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, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, th.

I'm sure you know that episode of Bonanza that he's referring to.
You know, I have to be honest, I don't.
I haven't, I haven't really seen Benanza. I know that I'm talking to three big fans of Benanza, but I, this was this was this was this was this was this was this was this was this was th thia thia thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, I'm thian, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm that episode that episode that I'm that I'm that I'm that episode that episode that I'm that episode that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thoooo, I'm thooo, I'm thooooean, I'm that's that's that's a thi, I'm thi, but I this was my first experience watching an episode of Bonanza. Did you never have a television in your life? Or a great guardian or
mentor? Or a sense of right and wrong? Well, I was the problem. I mean, I feel like I had,
well, I had all those things. I did have access to a TV and I had several really meaningful and thoughtful mentors and
guardians. And I do feel like I have a sense of right and wrong, but I guess I just was never
exposed to Bonanza. It just never came up. That's bizarre to me. It doesn't make any sense.
Maybe maybe the mentors and guardians in your life didn't have access to a TV or something. I don't know. You're about to get your carriage toppled. Yeah, I guess so.
I mean, I hope not. That was quite a, quite a scene. So you see, you watch the House Divided.
You've seen those. And this is the first episode of Bonanza you ever saw. That's right. Do you have any general questions about???? the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to to the the to to the the the th. It th. It thi? thi. It thi. It thi. It thi. It's thi. It's thi. I thi. I don't. You their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. I. I. I. I their. I. I their. You. You. You. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It's the the th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's thi. It's thi. It's the. It's tea. It's toda. It's try. I today. I'm try. I don't try. I don't the the the the the I did. And this is the first episode of Bonanza you ever saw.
That's right.
Do you have any general questions about Bonanza?
Is it?
Yes, is it just about the Cartwright family
and their adventures in Virginia City?
Unless it involves a woman who's a guest star that dies real quick?
Or if you're interpreted in terms of the life of Jesus Christ and
where the boundaries are between Israel and Palestine. Sometimes it's about
that. Wow, okay. These episodes always concern the cartwrights in one way or
another. Sometimes it seems like they have been awkwardly crammed into a
story that was written for a different TV show. Sometimes, not all the regular characters
have a place in that story,
and so they just ride off to San Francisco.
And, but it, yes, there's never an episode
so far that has nothing to do with the cart rights.
Like for instance, this one barely features Haas,
and he's one of the most enjoyable comedians of our time and beyond.
And you didn't really get to experience him, but the scene. Yeah. I didn't but every time I saw him I was like
oh I did I like that character a lot. He has a nice way of speaking. Yeah, he's a gentle giant.
He's very simple and he has unlimited strength. He is the strength and the intelligence of a horse as
it's almost explained in this episode
Almost come Ben comes right up close to explaining that
Yeah, this is okay. So that's your question is it's bored about the cartwright yet always yeah, that was my question.
This episode also by the way explained for you the big thing about the show about Cartwright family, that the three boys have three different mothers.
Yeah, right.
Oh, oh, oh, okay, no, I actually, I didn't get that.
I know that Haas is born on the prairie.
And he was very sad about it.
Yeah, he was sad. And then he had to be comforted and told, that's that's that's tho, that's tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, oh, oh, to, to, to, 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, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to be comforted and told, that's okay, a lot of people are born on the prairie. All prairie children are simple and I think that's why he thinks that, you know, because
they don't have boiling pots of water and whatnot, you know.
I see, I see, but I did not, I didn't get that they all had different mothers, so that, that, that was good to know. I thought that that the family, I the family, the family, the family, the family, the family, the family, the family, the family, the family, the family, the family, the family, the family, their, their, their, their, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's, that's, that's, that that that that that that that that that that th. that that that th. th. th. I was, th. I was, th.. I was, th. I was, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that, that, th. that, that, that, that, that, that, that's, that, that, that, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that, that, that, thought that the family was like they lived in the north for a bit and then they
lived in the south and then they went across the prairie and they had one kid in each region.
But now. It's more like Ben Cartwright just got around and buried three women. It's like his wives
were the Golden Locks meals. There's the north, the south and then somewhere in the prairie or something like, you know that was warm that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was warm that was warm that was warm that was warm that was warm that was warm that was warm that was warm that was warm that was warm that was warm the the the the th. th.

It was more the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the prairie or something like, you know, that was warm for all of them, I guess.
Yep. Right. They all died all the months. Oh yes, they all died. He might have killed him. He might have killed him. Yeah. These are the three wives who bore him children, and so he is forced to discuss the fact that they're dead. We don't know how many other wives he might have had that may be dead. That he doesn't have any reason to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. th. th. the th. the th. the the the the the th. th. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the their. the the their. the th. We don't know how many other wives he might have had that may be dead, that he doesn't have any reason to talk about.
He probably has his initials engraved in a sledgehammer somewhere. Yeah, for all we know,
he's a Timberlind Ripper. Well, this is a real good episode. We're going to talk about it, uh, Seen-Vasene. As you know, one thing I do like to do a little research on their their their their their their their their their their th. thia. thia. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi.

He's their in their in their in their in their in their in to do is I like to do a little research on the on the guest stars in this episode and dig into their resumes and see what else they've
done and we have we have some real good ones in this episode we had a the
character of Frederick Kyle who's the real bad guy in this episode played by an
actor named Cameron Mitchell and he had a long and distinguished career.
He was in television shows, wonderful television shows, like the Littleest Hobo and the United States Steel Hour.
And great movies like Space Mute, Mary,
you've seen any of them?
You ever see those shows?
I gotta say, I really didn't, and now I'm wondering if maybe my mentors or
guardians really didn't have access to TV.
I think he was either raised by wolves or in the Soviet Union or something. I don't something. Something. Something. Something. Something. Something. Something, I 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. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi theateateateateateateate. And tho- tho- thateate. And thate.

And, and th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. the. theat theat theat theat theat theat theat theat theat theat theat theat theat the. And, and to TV. I think he was either raised by wolves or in the Soviet Union or something. I don't know what happened. Something doesn't seem
right. Me either. I mean there's 430 episodes of Bonanza you're bound to run
into one somewhere. You would think, yeah. It's actively aborted. Sounds like your culture
insecure. Yeah, you don't get enough culture. Oh. Wow yeah yeah, that could be it.
That could be it.
So what was that first show again?
The Littleest Hobo?
That was a television show that was on for a strikingly large number of seasons.
It was like seven seasons of the Littleest Hobo.
I think it was...
Did he ever grow?
No, he was a dog.
Oh, well, wow. Did he ever grow? No, he was a dog. That's what it was. He was a Canadian TV show and he was a German shepherd.
Oh, so he just died. Yeah, he must have just died. He was a super smart German shepherd, just a stray dog, I guess, but they called him the littlest hobo.
And he was in some good movies like Space Mutiny and Hate Man and a movie called
Yeah, Hate Man. Hate man, damn I forget. Oh, I forget. What is Hate Man? It's about a man who's mad all the time. That sounds like an accurate description. I'd be shocked if it wasn't about that.
Somehow though I think it's not.
He was also in a movie called Frankenstein Island.
Oh no.
Yeah.
Is there such a thing?
Well, here's the description of that one,
which it did write down.
Said when a hot air balloon crashes on a remote island, a hot air balloon, the crew discovers Dr. Frankenstein's ancestor, I think thank, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, is thi, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is, is like, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is th, is th, is th, is th, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like thi, is like thi, is like thr-in, is like, is like, is like, thr-a, thr-like, thr-a, thr-a, thr-like, thr-i. thr-like, is like, is thr-like, is like, is thr-like, is like, is like, is like, is likestein's ancestor, I think they mean descendant, carrying on
the family work, along with a race of mutants and a population of Amazons.
What a goddamn island this is!
We've got to find this island.
What a goddamn mashup that is.
I mean, that's around the world in 80 days, Wonder Woman and Frankenstein all crammed
in. Yeah.
It's too hot air balloon crash my gosh. I know
that's pretty serious. Yeah. He was also in he was in a movie called Caesar the
Conqueror and in a separate movie called Eric the Conqueror. You got to pick one.
Well one was the Italian film and then the American adaptation I think is Eric is American for Caesar I believe. Oh I think that's right. Has there ever been a foreign adaptation
of Bonanza? What a wonderful question that is I have no idea. There was
Italian one. Just to spread the word? It was called Bonanza Bing. They had one in
Italy called Bonanza Bing? Yeah. Oh I didn. Oh, I didn't know about that.
Now, that's not a font joke, but it is a joke.
Oh, I see.
So that's not a fact, that's a joke.
Yeah, I have been working on some comedy.
Ha ha! Damn, I like it.
Thanks.
And I do apologize.
And I do apologize. And I a Christian, so I don't know, it was read irony.
That's challenging. Cameron Mitchell was also in a movie called Gorilla at Large,
which I believe is exactly what it sounds like. And then here, I wish I put this at the beginning of the paragraph I wrote about him.
He originated the role of Happy Loman in death of a salesman on Broadway.
Wow, oh my gosh.
Is that something?
Wow.
Yep.
From that to Gorilla at large at Large is quite a journey for Cameron Mitchell.
Wow. I mean that has to be the biggest just beginning to end for an actor we've seen thus far on this show. Yeah, it doesn't say but I believe Gorilla at large was also written by Arthur Miller.
I'm believe it was. Now was that a joke? Uh, no.
I'm still figuring this out.
I am an amateur.
This episode also has a couple of a henchman type guys, a couple of bad fellas, roving bad guys.
One of them's name is Regis.
He was played by an actor named Stacey Harris, who is a Bonanza six-timer.
He was on six different episodes of Bonanza as six different characters.
That I believe is a record.
Excuse me.
Did they do that a lot?
Did actors come back and play different?
It is not uncommon to see actors.
Okay.
Oftentimes they're on, I've seen a lot of three timers.
They're reborn.
Oh, yeah, they get reborn with a skill.
Oh, okay.
But this guy was on six times.
Six times.
Wow.
Was Stacy Regis.
He was also in other wonderful television shows, such as Telephone Time and Men Into Space.
And he was also on a show, I got a clip from it, it was a
show called Conflict and he was in an episode called Man from 1997. Whoa!
And this was, this come out in 1956. Did he wear Zubas? Well you might be surprised by the
wardrobe. Oh wait a minute. The James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies? No, but this surprised by the wardrobe. Did he only talk about the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never dies?
No, but this is not the clip. This is B.
Card Wars?
Every damn time something goes wrong.
Where are you, what are you learning to play?
It's a game called Card Wars?
And this is an hour-long video of people playing it and I as you can see it got
nine minutes and 32 seconds in. Wow so you're playing this with Irina? Yeah
Irina and I are playing this game called Card Wars and it's just about the most
complicated thing you've ever heard of in your life. Well I don't know if it's
worth it to try and find well I had it. I had to talk you to see it yeah yeah I'm gonna see it. Oh I I I I had it I had it I had it I had it I had it I had it I had it I had it I had it 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 I had it I had it I had it I had it I had it I had it I had it I had it I had it I had it I had it I had it I had it 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 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 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 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 oh oh yeah yeah yeah i i i i the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to it. Oh man from, yeah, there, yeah. Oh, wait a minute.
Oh, there.
Is that where I'll use him?
Must believe.
Okay, so the man from 1997 shows up.
He's wearing a white suit.
And at some point, she, the woman there,
asks him, how come you're not wearing a space suit?
And he says, well, in my time, I am considered very old-fashioned, so that's a good cheat. And then another point, she asked him,
how does time travel work?
And he says, I have no idea.
That's a pretty good cheat, too.
Yeah, but I don't know if I find the specific moment
I wanted to show you.
It ain't worth it.
I had it all cued up.
Oh, Wills. How do I stop screen sharing? He was a... the one indication that he is from the
future is he says you want a cigarette and they say no and he takes out a
cigarette and then he rubs it across the front of his pack of cigarettes and it
lights and they go... Whoa. So their prediction wasn't in 1997 we would
everybody be smoking just so much. Yeah we would have eliminated the
need for matches.
That does seem like something that should happen.
It does.
Yeah, right?
Take out the middle.
Who dropped the ball?
Well, it was Big Match, I'll bet you.
Big Match.
Big match.
Big match.
Oh, I think. match. And then there was also a fellow a character named Gorman who's played
by John Anderson. John Anderson was in wonderful TV shows such as Bread of
Freedom, Janet Dean registered nurse and occasional wife. Those are three television shows.
Okay those could all be about the same thing for all I know
because Janet Dean could be more than a registered nurse. She could be an
occasional wife and oh oh that's true. Occasional wife was about a businessman
who's a who's a superiors expect him to be married but he's a bachelor and so he
he enlists the help of a woman to pretend to be his wife. Oh, a beard.
Yeah, a beard, yeah.
A business beard.
A business beard.
And Janet Dean registered nurses about a private nurse
who in every episode ends up with a different patient who
she goes to extraordinary lengths above and beyond nursing
to help them out with their problems. Well like she's like a private eyes well I'll show you maybe I can find the
poster for it that I put in my trash I don't want well but it's eat right here in
the trash yeah that's just a two-hour long video of someone playing
Parchese. Yeah what? You have some big game night coming up that you're prepping for?
Yeah, you're not telling us.
Yeah, we're doing a big game night out here underground.
It's gonna be this game Card Wars, which I promise you
is the most complicated game.
Ever in the world.
All right, let's see if I can find the, there it is. Oh. Oh, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, thi, thi, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th.

Yeah, I'll put this up on our Instacart. This is the picture
El Reylaid. Yeah, where you put pictures online. Oh I think you're thinking of
Instagram. I'm sorry. It's Instagram. What do you say? No, you're thinking of Heather Graham.
No, I'm not. I'm thinking of the app Instagram. Insta Cart is what you, you can use that to order
groceries.
Right. You put a picture online and then you get groceries.
I know.
I also have an insta card in that I stole a grocery card from the dollar store and I'll
just bring it right over whatever you want.
Okay, that sounds good. Whatever you want for my meaning at any moment.
That's what makes it Insta. Every time I try that I that I that I that I that I th try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try th th th th th th th th to th to th to that to that that the that that that that that that to that that to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the is the. the. try. try. try. too. too. too. too. thea. thea. thea. the. the. the. moment. It's that's what makes it insta.
Oh, every time I try to do that, the wheels lock up and then it's just nothing to conflict
with me and the jerk that comes out.
Not at the dollar store if you run.
Not at the dollar store.
They can't afford wheel locking.
Well anyway, that's Janitine registered nurse.
It sure does look from this little picture this little picture this little this little this little this little this little this little this little this little this little this little this little this little this little picture in the oval up top here that she is a private eye or some kind of a tempterist or something like that.
Oh yeah, I think they're going for like an angel where she's good by day and a little,
you know, a little naughty by night.
Yeah, but I've read, I've read about 30 episode.
thiii. And I couldn't see any evidence of any of that. You've got that kind of focus and you can't learn a game of Card Wars?
Isn't that something?
Try it sometime.
Try to teach yourself how to play Card Wars.
Good luck.
What else can I tell you?
Oh, poor John Anderson, this poor man played in his career, he played Abraham Lincoln
three times.
Wow. I feel like when you're calling to tell somebody you're offering them the role of Abraham
Lincoln, you have to start with, no offense, but.
Because he was not a handsome fella.
I've got some good news and some bad news.
Exactly.
He looked like a shrunken head apple doll.
Yeah.
He was a, not a... It's unfortunate for Abraham Lincoln that he, he, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, you have to have to have to have to, you have to, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to to to to to to He looked like a shrunken head apple doll. Yeah.
He was a, not a, it's unfortunate for Abraham Lincoln that he came around just about the time
that photography did.
Because, you know what I mean?
We're not otherwise seen portraits of him and said, well that can't be right.
Should I be offended if I keep getting asked to play fatty arbuckle?
Um, you will, perhaps. Okay. Yeah, maybe. Well, you might just want to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be to be to be to to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be that's that's that's that's.

Um, you will, perhaps.
Okay.
Yeah, maybe.
Well, you might just want to take a look at your diet.
Uh, okay.
And then last actors we'll talk about in this.
Not much to say, Mary Ann Stewart, as Lily Van Cleet is yet another Bonanza
Anjaneu who retired from acting shortly after appearing in this episode of Bonanza. Oh no! They kill the characters and somehow kill the careers of
these actresses. Kill the passion. Yeah. Something happens but she was also in
the Schlitz Playhouse of Stars. That's another one. We've almost everybody
who's ever appeared on Bonanza has also been in the Schlitch Playhouse of Stars. In fact, I'm thinking we might want to start a drinking
game on this show. Every time, every time there's an actor from Slitch Playhouse of Stars,
would take a sip of Schlitz. A sip of slits. A shipper slits. A shipper slits. A ship of slits.
That's what I mean. Does that sound like that be fun to do? Yeah, I don't need an excuse to take a sip of slits or a ship of sluts.
Or a shit's slip.
Shit slip.
I don't need any excuse to have a shit slip.
No, and with this house...
That happens without my permission.
I prefer a Christian IPA.
Oh, are there some good Christian IPAs out there?
All right. Went like what, I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I th, I th, I th, I th. I th. th. th. I thi, I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I don't, I don't, I th. to, I to, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't too. too. that's, that's, that's, IPAs out there?
All right.
Like what?
You'd get think better?
Well, let me just, I mean, I think if I just Google Christian IPAs, I don't know what?
All right.
Well, you do that and we will, this is a good time to take a little break, and when we come back,
which we will, we're going to go scene by scene of episode 18 episode 18 of season one of Bonanza, a house divided. We'll be
right back. You We're the world now., here we go.
Look back from a commercial break.
And Amy Sleverson, you was going to look up, did you, we didn't have to take a long break,
but was you able to find any Christian IPAs you can recommend to Christians who like
to get drunk?
All I know is that Martin Luther changed our beer too.
Martin Luther. And I too. Martin Luther.
And I'm just like, I can't find anything.
Which means I need to get into product development for a Christian IPA.
Oh yeah.
That's how it was.
You found a gap in the marketplace.
Yes.
That's where there is the demand for sure.
That's one of the main lots, daughters, philosophies
is that it's product creation,
not necessary to delivery or fulfillment,
but just chaotic and constant business planning.
Limited inventory, a fatalistic delivery policy.
It might not get there. Is that what you tell people? When they, because sometimes it'll say, allow four to six weeks for delivery, and you just kind of say, it's a, the the, and th, and th, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, and their, their, their, their, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not their, not their, not their, not their, not their, not their, not their, not, not, not, not their, not, not 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, the. Is that what you tell people? When they, because sometimes
it'll say allow four to six weeks for delivery and you just kind of say, it might not get there.
We don't look. One day at a time, right? Yeah. That's the best we can do. One day the time,
sweet Jesus. That's all I don't know if this is our last day. Oh, what about one day at a time, IPA?
And oh, that's nice.
Yeah, you don't sell them in six packs or 12 packs or anything.
You just sell one at a time.
One at a time, 40 ounce.
There you go.
Yes, 40s.
Whoa.
Yeah, there might not be it tomorrow because, you know, what do they call it? What do they call the apocalypse in the Bible?
Rapture? Or yes, Saturday.
This Saturday?
Yes. Oh boy. Oh no. Well, prepare ye.
All right. So this episode of Bonanza starts out with the stagecoach riding into Virginia City and a top-headed fancy man gets off it. This is Kyle Frederick and he is our city slicker visitor for this
episode. Hey, sometimes we play a game called Guess the Age of the I love the character
actor. Can you guess? Anybody have a guess as to how old the Cameron Mitchell who played Kyle Frederick
was in this episode.
35. You say 35. The actor or the character? The character is but the actor. I would say 49. 49.
It's a tough one because they got so much Talcom powder in his hair so as to make him look he's wearing
a Barrister's wig.
But I'm gonna say he's 42. His hair does look like one of them, you know how sometimes you get a Christmas tree and they'll cover it and wife- flocked. They flocked him. He's either been flocked or
been in a high school play where he has to play an old man. Yeah, well believe it or not,
you are right on the money. What they. They they. They th. They th. They's th. They's th. They's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi's thi's th. th. th. th. th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. th. th. He's. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's, you are right on the money. Cameron Mitchell was 42 years old.
Oh wow!
I feel good.
Yeah, this episode of Bonanzo.
Good job.
Six years younger than me, shit.
I gotta go.
Yeah.
He seems to be playing a man in his middle 50s, I guess or something.
I had my own age wrong.
Oh, you got your own age wrong. I can guess other people.
Do you know I have age blindness for myself? I can guess other people's ages perfectly.
Every time I look in a mirror I look like one of them babies with just one little sprig of hair
quirling up. Oh, isn't that weird? You have to have that look like. Yeah, somehow. What a good question about that look for. Yeah, somehow. I have a quick question about that that character. What's his name?
Kyle what? Kyle Frederick. He seemed so specific to me that maybe they were going back to doing like
was this a real person? But then I thought no, those are probably just old used up scripts or that they were
using up and they don't do that anymore because it was from a different show. But he's not a real person is he I never did bother to look that up. Well don't do it now. Hell, no. But I will say you got
an indication real early that this is a dishonest man because he obviously has a second arm that is
tucked into his jacket and he presented himself as one-arm man. And in no time in this episode does he ever reveal that second arm?
No.
The reason he lost his arm is due to sloth.
He lost it through lack of use.
It became like a pedunculated lesion, a prehensal wing
that he could no longer grasp.
Pedunculated lesion, I never heard that.
I've never heard of those words.
You could tie that arm off at the root,
and then it would blow up with blood and fall right off.
I've done it to our dog.
It's like a skin tag.
You get a little skin tag. Yeah.
I've never thought of the shoulder as the arm root, but I guess that is what it is.
Sure. Every arm has a tap root and that's the shoulder, as we're learning in this episode.
Well, I'm glad. Is that the process of pedunculation? Is that what you just described?
How I know is that I've read a lot of dermatology literature.
Maybe too much. Skin related surgeries to my dogs. You ought to have a show
called Amy Sleverson, registered nurse. Amy Sleverson board certified
dermatologist. Occasional dermatologist. Occasional dermatologist at large.
Candyman!
Haste dermatologist.
All right.
Also, okay, so he walks into the bar and there's a card game going.
This is where we learn that Little Joe's full name is John Francis Cardwright.
Wow, don't call him that though.
Don't call him Little. Don't call him Little.
I know.
Yeah, he prefers to be called Little Joe
than to have anybody know that is made of France.
I really had my brothers it'd be dainty,
but little will do, just don't call me Francis.
Yeah.
Well, Joe is in the process of getting taken for his money by a couple of dishonest card players and Kyle Frederick comes in
and saves the day by pointing out the scam and then at the end of that scene those two dishonest
fellas they recognize Kyle and one of them says he's trouble like this town has never
seen but he's also going to be our money tree.
So that's on that confusing business we cut to the 18th time that we've seen the burning map in the opening. in in in in the opening. the opening. the opening. the opening money tree. So that's on that confusing business, we cut to the 18th time
that we've seen the burning map in the opening credits of this show and the second time
that we've seen the post credits chapter card that tells us the name of this episode. And then we go
into, now we're at a scene at the Ponderosa, which is a cartwright's, and Kyle is having dinner with all the Cartwright
boys because he's struck up a friendship now with Little Joe.
And he explains what he's up to.
He explains he's going to export bullion.
He wants to buy a bunch of silver ore here and all that.
And then I do want to play you a little clip.
I've got a clip here because this is a good clip where, Haoss, one of the few times he opens his mouth, explains the basic difference in personalities
between people from different parts of the country,
which is a real good thing to know.
So let's see here, I'm gonna share my screen
and see what other games I'm trying to learn how to play.
Settlers of Catan.
Here we are, here we are.
Banana grams.
But I must get to the various men who control that mountain of silver to interest them in my proposition.
Well, I know them all, Mr. Kyle. I'd be more than happy to show you around.
Well, I appreciate your kind offer, little Joe.
Well, if you're looking for helping high finance, Mr. Kyle, I'm full of that hot southern blood that he can't get very interested in cold cash.
Now, on the other hand, Adam over there, he's from New England, and he just got a natural feeling for the jinglash.
See that? You probably never knew that before. No. Somebody from the south just can't get interested in money,
but knew what they have hot blood. It's the hot blood. It's the hot blood that conflict with the cash is cold. Exactly. Cash is cold. Blood is hot from the south. Yep, I'm glad he cleared that up.
Because it's very central to the, our understanding of this show that because their mothers were from different
parts of the country, they are very different men. It's just there was regional personality
trates is one thing that you need need 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 their their their their their their to their regional personality traits is one thing
that you need to understand when you watch this show. And they must have been
genetic because clearly they couldn't have lived in their native land long
because they would have had to be brothers together at some point, right?
Or do we know, did they always live with Ben or did they live with the moms till they died and then come live with Ben? Oh, we don't th th th th th th th th th tho tho tho tho tho tho tho their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their tho. tho. tho. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. their th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. the. te. te. te. te. te. together. together. together. together. together. together. together. together. together. together. together. together. te. they live with the moms till they died and then come live with Ben? Oh we don't know that but it does sound like in this episode Little Joe talks
about when he was littler and Adam was was bigger than him. When he was a
littler Joe. Oh little Joe and even littler Joe. Is the first episode kind of a
dromedy where we find out the last wife of his died and all three boys have
to come live with pa? Oh sort of a Brady Bunch situation. Yeah. Yeah. Not quite.
No. They could have done that. Maybe there's a prequel episode of that.
Prequel. She loves prequels. Amy love. I do. That's how I got into Muslim religion.
Wait a minute, is Muslim religion to prequel to Christianity? Oh, that's like that. Oh, I guess it
I don't know. That's in the order I read them in. It could be. I have no idea. Well, all right.
So now they do get to talking a little bit about the civil war because that's in the news. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that. that. that. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's in 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 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 that's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the the th. the the the th. the the they. the the they. I th. I th. th. th. that's that's th. that's th. that's, so now they do get to talking a little bit about the civil war because
that's in the news now.
It's Kyle who says there's going to be war, all right?
He reveals he's from Kansas, which is right in the middle.
And we also learn that he's a city fillet, all right.
And the next scene, we've got the Pony Express is rushing into town and we just know it's going to be bad news and then we see a barroom
brawl and it's between northerners and southerners I mean the civil war
is being fought out in a saloon in Virginia City for heaven's sake and and
Paul comes in he got the newspaper from the Pony Express and he wants to
read it and this one Haas doesn't see much in this episode but things he says if my Paul wants to read the paper I reckon that's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the th. the th. the the the th. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I'm the the the th. I'm the the th. I'm the the th. I's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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's is is is is. I's. I's is. I's is th. I's. I's the. I's thean. I's toge. I'm toge. I's toge. I's toge. I's toge. I's the. I's theanneeanneeannee. I's things he says are beautiful. And this scene he says, if my Paul wants to read the paper, I reckon that's what he's
going to do.
Sure enough he does, he reads the paper and he reads a speech from Abraham Lincoln all
about how that house divided ain't gonna stand.
And then in comes Kyle and he's got a southern newspaper that basically says all the
same stuff. And it seems thiiiises Abraham Lincoln as a man who knows what he believes
and so on and so forth.
Yeah, this was some real Fox News CNN stuff going on here like, yeah.
I have to argue that a house divided can stand, my husband and he's a confederate and I says,
I don't want to hear anything more about it. So I put up carpeted dividers.
It's a system of like curtains and hanging beads.
And it's kind of like a little hog confinement system
that I can run through with little blinders on and earplugs.
So I won't get spooked by my spouse.
Aim, you're living with a
Confederate Frankenstein? Oh yeah I forgot your husband's a Frankenstein. Yes!
Oh no you got to get out of there. I know. He just he says he's a conservative but I says no you're crazy.
I can see and not in a good way not in a way that's actually clinically measurable and
diagnosed in a way that's like, oh you're a monster.
Did he take a trip last week, around about the middle of last week?
Did he take a trip out east?
He did?
He did. Was he part of that capital?
He went to the capital and I says, well, when you come home,
there's gonna be a row of Ficus down our bed,
because I don't wanna see you.
Now, you can't plant Ficus in a bed,
but what you got to thought?
Oh, yes, you can.
How do you do?
You do? You dig a tranch and put soil in there? Oh, okay, you you you you you you 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, 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. tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho. thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. tho. tho, tho, tranch and put soil in there so okay just dig a hole right through down the middle of the mattress have you never watched a cheap GTV no I know you can do
anything you set your mind to that's right okay I guess it makes sense you cut a
dig a deep enough hole throughout down the middle of your mattress fill up with soil and plant some
facus all right great idea and they grow fast I tell you
talk about tap root.
Well, just a matter of time for the FBI comes for your husband,
I guess, but a good look to them handling a Frankenstein.
I worry.
Wow. He's, he, it'll be okay.
I don't, I mean that it won't be okay. That's what, you know, Christiani's all about it. It's like, it won, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, I, I, it, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, it, I, it, it, I, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, I, I, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, 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, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Yeah. That's what, you know, Christianity's all about it's like, oh, yeah,
it won't, it won't, it's probably not gonna go good.
I'm kidding, bad down the hatches.
That was Jesus' message.
Probably not gonna go good.
That's about right.
Yeah.
Shit storms coming. The shit
slits coming. Oh man. Yeah, which is Saturday, which we've learned is, he's talking
about Saturday. Yeah, Saturday. Which is the rapture. Yeah, that's good to know. It is good to know.
Okay. Now I need to compress some of the actions of this episode. I also need to get the rest of these 430 episodes watched by Saturday because I to to to to th th th th th th th th th I th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the she the she come the she come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come the shit the shit the shit the shit the the the the the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the the the the to to to go go go to to to to to tooooooooooooooooo' too' to to to to to to to the the the the the to to compress some of the actions of this episode. I also need to get the rest of these 430 episodes watched by Saturday because I don't want
to die having not seen everyone.
That's a good use of your time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Will Adam, what do we find out?
We find out? We find, okay, the two bad, Gorman and Regis approach Kyle and they tell them we know what we know, we know, we know, we know, we know, we know, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, 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, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, ththem we know what you're up to, we know that you're here
trying to raise up money, you're the leader of the free state movement in the South, and you're here trying to raise up money, get this silver to finance the Confederacy and all this stuff, and he says,
give us $5,000 and we'll help you out. And he says something too, I like, about Gorman he says you know Gorman here Regis says he always goes along with me
that's something you don't see these days as much as you saw in the old West a
partnership where one does all the thinking the other one just follows I like I
like those dynamics Gorman barely says a word. Anyways uh I feel like I'm not that to you I would do that for you. This here's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 the their the the the the the the the the the their their their their their he go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. the to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. the. the. the. the. I'm that to you.
I would do that for you.
This here's Muck Taylor.
He goes along with me.
Yeah.
Don't mess with my friend Dalton or I'll get nasty.
Mm-hmm.
It's also Regis and Gorman are never not getting beat up.
Like they keep, they keep going back to Kyle for they really want to be in
business with him but every scene they have with him it ends with him beating
them with with like one hand single-handedly. Yes these two men get pummeled by a
one-armed man three times constantly yeah that's a good point whenever they
appear on screen that is about right. Yeah, poor fellas.
I wonder if they have little paintings of each other in their pockets.
Oh, I can't wait to talk about that painting.
Or no, it wasn't a painting.
As we later learned, it was a photograph.
What?
Oh, did you miss that?
I miss that?
Oh, no. That was absolutely a painting. Oh no, it was a photograph. Of a photograph? Of a painting?
Nope, it was just a photograph.
Of a painting.
So anyways, okay, now Adam is real suspicious.
Adam is worried that Little Joe is hanging around with this fella, Kyle, he thinks something
weird is going on.
And he happens to be hiding behind a plant in the lobby of the International House Hotel when Gorman and Regis ill-adidely is to sp sp sp sp sp sp sp sp sp spilled the the the the the the the theybiz the the International House Hotel, when Gorman and Regis ill-advisedly spill the beans
out loud there in the lobby about Kyle.
And now Adam, he goes to talk to those guys
to get more information.
They drank a toast to small dogs and little old ladies.
Nice detail.
Regis says that you stay out of our way.
And then what else, Then we're back at the
Ponderosa. Ben is worried about Joe and Adam tells him that all about everything he knows.
And then we're back at the inn and Kyle and Joe are having a drink with Hennessey. He's a mine
owner. And Kyle's making a proposal to pay a third more than anybody's already paying for Hennessey's silver, right?
And Hennessey doesn't want anything to do with it because he knows what Kyle's up to and he is not a Confederate.
And is that money, he's getting his money from slave labor? Is that what's being inferred?
Oh, please, Amy, Amy please at no time in
this episode about the Civil War is slavery reference in any context whatsoever.
Oh!
Oh! Never mentioned at all. This is an episode about the Civil War. Yeah, states rights. Yeah.
Mm-hmm. Well, so... Okay, now it's, it's a... It's a... the slave war. Yeah, states rights. Yeah. Well, so Kyle, okay, now, it's Hennessy walks out in a
in a huff or something, and that's when Joe, that's when Kyle reveals that he
knew Little Joe's mother down there in New Orleans and he's got a picture of her.
And it, it's a tiny little oval picture. Painting.
A painting looks like, it looks like a painting of a woman with a deformed neck.
Because it is.
It's a crude child's painting.
And Little Joe is overwhelmed with emotion by it.
He can't remember what it is indeed a photograph. His mother was a
grotesque. Well later it is a long elegant neck. Well there's long and there's
elegant and that is a two-hour road trip from shoulders to chin.
She's a state armory to Henry.
Yeah, it could have been a pedunculated legion.
I ate around with some dental floss.
It'll pop off.
Now I'm worried about your dog.
It never occurred to me to worry about your dog before.
Well, uh, yeah, so now later in the episode, Kyle tells Ben,
I gave Little Joe a photograph of his mother. He says that later in the episode, and so to
think that that is a photographic representation of what the woman looked like adds a whole
new dimension to her. And what was the implication there that Kyle had had some kind of
a fair or dallance with Little Joe's mother? Well, he sort of like looked wistful, you know, when he
was talking about, don't worry about how I knew your mom. Mm-hmm. It sure seems
that way. Well, so now I don't know in what point it becomes clear to the audience or the
various characters, but we can say now that what's really going on here is that Kyle came
to to to to to to to to the to to to to the to to the to the to the the to to the the to the the the the the the the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, tho, thiole, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thu, thiiiw, thi......, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, thiw, theat, theyyu, togea, toge, toguu, toguiwliwliwliwliwliwliwliwliw, thi characters, but we can say now that what's really going on here is that Kyle came to town to sidle up to the southern Cartwright, little Joe Cartwright,
to get his help in doing all this, and Joe is the youngest and the most impressionable of the
cartwrights, and here he is being roped into the Confederacy to finance the confederacy. Yep. Easily fooled by portraiture. And you know it's and it's, and it's, and it's, and it's, and it's, and it's, and it's, and it's, and it's, and it's, and it's the the the the the the the the the th. they. th. they. they. the the the the the to to to the the the 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 so to the so the so the so the so the so the so the so the so the the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. thoes. thoes. the sooes.oes.oe.oe.oe.oe.oe.oesuoes.oes.oes.o. thoooooooooooes. the soo a nice mirroring to how we opened the episode,
which is Joe being taken for a ride by Regis and Gorman.
And here he is being taken a ride in a whole new scale.
You're right, that's very good.
Thank you.
I don't think in previous episodes we've seen that little Joe is quite so dumb,
but it's good to have that Little Joe is quite so dumb, but it's
good to have that dumb in this one.
It's almost as if the script wasn't written for this show.
You never can say.
Yeah.
Well, Ben goes to see Kyle and a woman approaches Lily Van Cleet and
Kyle and Lily stare at one another very weirdly and wordlessly for a long time.
And what else happens there?
Her son, oh Ben talks to her for a bit and we learn that her son also named Joe is dead.
She says her husband is dead. We find out later she's lying and Kyle is her husband. But I think she means a big part of him died that day.
Yeah, that's like when Obi-Wanobi ttells Luke, you father's dead, but you know, he's
really Darth DeVater.
Yeah.
Darth DeVater.
Yeah, Dutch.
He's Dutch.
He's Dutch.
Dutcher.
So whatever, Ben leaves and Lily goes off with Kyle.
And then there's a lot of danger music on the way out to that commercial break. And then when they come back their their their their their their their tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho that's tho that's tho that's that's that's like th. that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's like that's thathe o' that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that's. th. their. their. their. their. th. th. th. th. they's they's they's they's they's they's they're they're they're the. they're the. the. the. the. the. theat. theat. theat. theat. to theat. to theat. to to theat. to theat. theat. theat. the way out to that commercial break. And then when they come back, it's Lily and Kyle, they recite Shelly to one another.
So nice to hear some Shelly.
He's a bigamist who slept with a sister,
his sister and somebody else who was, wasn't his sister?
No, maybe that was Byron.
I can't get my poet's right from the Romantus era. Well, but Shelly, I mean, we th, we th, we th, we th, we th, we th, we th, we th, we, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, to th, th, th, so nice, so nice, so nice, so nice, so nice, so nice, so nice, so nice, so nice, so nice, so nice, so nice, so nice, so nice, so nice, so nice, so nice, so to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th, so th, so th, th, th, th, th. So, th. So, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, so the the. thi, so thi, so thi, so thi, so thi, so thi, so thi, maybe that was Byron. I can't get my poets right from the Romantus era.
Well, but Shelley, I mean, we're talking Percy by Shelly, but wasn't,
was it his sister or his wife that wrote Frankenstein?
Yes.
What that is?
Mary Shelley.
Hey.
You're kidding me?
No, and to be careful what scenes you like, because again, it's like I got little Joe. That's that, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, th. thi, thi, th. thi, th. th. th. that's, thi, thi, 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. that's, th. th. that's, th. th. th. th. that's, th. that's, 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 that's thi. that's that's thi. that's that's thi. that's, that's, thi. that's, because again, it's like a, it's like I got little Joe,
you know, that's how they get you in and suddenly you're a big Frankenstein apologist, hanging out with Amy's husband.
Oh my goodness. Yeah, well, you're, you're, it's okay to be confused between Byron and Shelly.
the the Regis and Gorman and Shelley are like Regis and Gorman. Shelly just goes along. Yeah. But I'm stunned to hear that there's a relation
there with all for the creator of Frankenstein. Well anyway okay the day the
day that all this is over I shall come to you oh yeah oh it's their 20th
wedding anniversary which oh yeah which is garnet oh what is the 20th
I think it's garnet or maybe jade. Oh I thought you said darn it. It's garnet. It's a it's a greenstone or... Uh-huh. Okay. Amy, how long you and your husband been married? What's his name by the way? Oh, it's been hundreds of years we've been married. Ah, uh, ha ha ha. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no, no. Oh, no. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. th. the. Oh, okay.
No need to elaborate on that.
I think we get it.
We've been very so alive.
But he's funny.
I mean, that's why we were still together as he makes you laugh.
What's his name?
What's his name?
What's his name? What's his name?
What's his name? He does it? He's him he. With the capital age? And I'm I me. This is suspicious. I me and him he. Those are your pronouns. Well, that's he just, he is. He is. He just, he is.

Well, that's, he just, he is.
He just is.
I, yeah, he is and I am.
That's like God, they capitalize H, you know, capital H, E, or capital H, I am, and he doesn't
have a name.
I'm wondering if you're married to Jesus or something, you know.
No, okay.
No, he's a Frankensteinstein.

Jesus was, no Franken.
But I live across the street from Kirsten and she sells these,
oh, Mary and Martha stuff and she's got this Christ necklace.
And it's not even a cross, but it says chosen, loved, redeemed, forgiven, sort of like,
you know, so I'm going gonna sell the same thing.
Oh, hi.
I had one made but it just said,
CLRF, and she said, oh, what does Clorff mean?
I said, fuck you, Kirsten.
Wow. I said that, but wasn't me that was Satan.
Where did this take place? Where were you guys when you had this conversation?
In the cul-de-sac! Okay, yeah, sound travels in a cul-de-sac. Everybody knows you two got beef.
Chosen, loved, redeemed, and forgiven? Is that what it is? Yes. Corf. Yeah. Chosen love, redeemed, forgiven. Okay. Well, listen, again, I the I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I the. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. love, redeem, forgiven. Okay. Yeah, well I listen, I'm again,
I think you got the better idea because that's a huge fucking necklace if you spell out all
those words. That's what I says. I says it looks ridiculous. You look like a, you look like
a Christian rapper. Yeah. Right. And I've already done that. It's too hard. It's too painful to be rejected that much to get into the Christian rap game. R. Yeah. R. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. R. Yeah. Yeah. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 their their their their their their their their their their 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.

Oh, you've tried to get into a Christian rap.
Oh, tell me about it.
Yeah, no.
How do you find a word that rhymes with Deuteronomy?
What was the name of the legion?
What kind of a legion was it? Oh, pedunctery, what was it? Oh, pedunculated lesion.
Pedunculated? Pedunculated? Pedunculated. Pedunculated, Deuteronomy. That's a soft rhyme.
Might just work. Well, Deuteronomy. My name's Amy. Oh. There you go. You can use your name somehow.
Well, it's too late now.
Or, you've only got, you've only got these, this meal due to Ron and me.
Because we brought, because we work for Wheels on Meals.

car wheels and you put them on the food and that's my explanation. Okay. I thought wheels
wheels on meals was when you accidentally leave one of your grocery bags behind your car
when you're loading your truck.
That's a better explanation and can I borrow that?
You can have that one and then you back up and you've been over a each-word meal.
I have been finding I've had to explain this multiple times in the day.
Yeah.

You only have this wheels on meals due to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to the to to the to to to the to the the to the their. to their. their. the the th. th. th. th. th.

I'm, tho. I'm, the. I'm have this wheels on meals due to Ron and me. Okay, that's right.
Yeah. Is this a conversation that you've had a lot on podcasts? What about?
This totally, just this is this current conversation. Sure. Okay.
Okay. I'm not sure what you mean. I will take a back seat from here on now. Don't you dare. All right, so, okay, Hennessy, oh, Hennessey,
is this where Hennesse says,
hey man, I know what you're up to,
and I'm gonna go to Washington, D.C.
and I'm gonna alert the authorities in person,
going all the way from Lake Tahoe, Nevada, to Washington, D.C., that's how fast I'm gonna I I I I I I I I I'm their their thua I'm tha, I'm thia, I'm thia, I'm thia, I'm thi, I'm gonna thi, I'm gonna to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the, to to to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thean.. thean. thean. thean. thean. toean. toean. toeananan to and I'm going to inform them of what your scheme is here.
And that's when Kyle tells Regis and Gorman to kill Hennessey, doesn't he?
Or it's sort of like he doesn't say it right out there.
It's him. No, he's like, he's like, hey, Gorman, Regis. Yeah, I got a job for you. It's like so you know which glass is whose.
Yeah.
Yeah, it is like that.
It is a little like that.
Okay.
And then the next thing we see, we see Gorman and Regis and they say the stage is about
to leave and they were all winking at each other like, oh boy, here goes.
And now we see Hennessy gets into the stage coach with
Lily Van Cleet who had previously said she's going to go to California get
away from all this Civil War business. She's going to go to California via
Washington DC. Yes that's right. She's taking the stage to Washington DC with
Hennessy and then she's going to loop up the northern route back to California.
Okay. They're both in the same stage. And well, the next thing we see is this stage
coach toppling down a hillside to the sound of a woman screaming.
Violently, violently toppling. I had to rewind it because I thought I must have
a miss where they talked about sabotaging that thing. Nope. Nope. Nope. Yeah it ever talked about it.. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. And. And. And. And. And. And th. And the. And thooooooooooooooooooooo. And th. And the next. And the next. And the theed about sabotaging that thing. Nope. Nope. Yeah, it's, yeah.
You never talked about it.
Very often the women on the show die abruptly.
There's a, there's a pitchfork fight going on.
And then when it's over, we see the woman has a pitchfork in her chest.
Oh, God.
Couple of lovers, you're kissing on a porch and talking about their future.
Next thing you know, we hear a shot and she falls dead.
It's just things like, you never see it coming.
Oh my gosh.
Sure didn't see it coming.
So then now, what happens?
Kyle?
Is this where Kyle goes and he's mad at Regis?
Yeah. Well, no, the family, the cart rights, like bring Kyle over because they're like, oh, you,
we think, you know, we know this lady was your friend and we wanted you to know.
Yeah.
And then, yeah.
He's troubled.
That's when you can get a tragedy, charm, when it's somebody you don't know, you just get
a charm on your charm race, but it's a blank gravestone
So you can kind of feel bad not necessarily have to remember the name of the person
This was his 20th wedding anniversary, but he for some reason is not revealing to anybody that they're married. I'm not sure of why exactly But it's a secret to everybody that that there's married he also says though. I knew her once oh, yeah, like she. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that it'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 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 the the the the the the the the the the the they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. the true. true. true. true. true. true. try. try. try. try. the the the the the the the married. He also says though, I knew her once.
Oh, yeah.
Like she says that she talks about him like her husband's dead
and then he talks, he doesn't, he refuses to acknowledge
that he knows her.
I guess they've become a strength,
their house has become divided by the Civil War's will.
And another charm that they might be interested in for somebody who had a similar problem
is a mutual responsibility for the death of a child charm.
And it's two hands coming together.
Yeah.
Or maybe just an oxygen tank so that because you feel so much pain in the air.
Yes, mutual responsibility for the death of a child.
That's the best way to experience the death of the child.
Two hands clasped.
Yeah. Oh, oh, yes, classed in grief.
I think that's beautiful.
In case you don't know, Mary, Amy Slaverson here
has a line of tragedy that you can wear on a charm bracelet to carry with you in physical form
wherever you go the various tragedies that have shaped your life.
The most popular are due to gun violence. Oh yes.
And a lot of people buy, because they want to be reminded of the tragedy.
To remember the thing that happened. Oh God! Oh, jeez! Good thing it's 14 territ gold!
You probably wouldn't have a lot of,
wouldn't have a lot of call for a toppling stagecoach charm,
but I'd like to see it.
Oh, sure, yeah, then I might not be a big seller,
but sometimes, you know, like,
yeah, I have one. It's not that popular, but
it represents the mom, the dad, and the three kids, like you see in the back of a car window.
But then it's when the whole family dies in an accident. Oh yeah.
But then it makes a nice tinkling noise. It's kind of like a a little musical instrument. Well that's beautiful. I like that. That stuff
happens all the time you guys. Whole families get wiped out in one go? Yes.
Yeah it does. Yeah they've got a word for it. Family obliteration. Okay let's watch a clip of a brawl. You guys ready to see a brawl? Here we go,
what do you call it here? Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. There's a three-hour
tutorial on Uno that's good people. Uno's a really simple game. Hell no it
isn't. Do you know that if you have one card left and you don't say Uno and somebody else does, you got to swap hands with them? Jesus Christ. Oh, no, no. Do, th, th, th, th, no, no, th, th, no, th, no, th, no, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi th, thi, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thooooooo. tho. th with them? Jesus Christ. Oh no, that right? That's right. You have if you are at uno you have to say it
before anybody else can have to learn their videos because I didn't learn that when I was a kid.
But 52 pick up that's not a game, that's a joke. You don't have to play that anymore. No no more 52 pickup. That's it. That's. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the the that's the that's that's that. that. that. that. that. that. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. the the thi. thi. that's thi. that's that's that's that's don't have to play that anymore,
Dalton. No, no, no more 52 pickup. I've had it with that.
So this is another one of the scenes here where, you know, I love a brawling scene,
and this is another one here, Regis and Gorman, in their efforts to kill Hennessey have unthinkingly and accidentally killed Kyle's wife Lily.
And so he he tells him to come into the back room the back the back to the back to the back to the back to the back to the back to the back to the back the back to to the back the back to the back to tells him to come into the
back room here the saloon and at gunpoint and then he does this a very
gallant thing where he throws his gun out the door and pummels him so let's
let's watch that he throws his gun out and on this show that means it's
fistfighting time and one-
well what did he reach for? I still don't know.
He reached for a gun.
He had a second gun in his holster?
He wanted to shake his hand.
It was straight.
Now here comes Gorman with an axe.
Not fast enough.
Not fast enough.
And that is, I believe that's unprincipled fighting. If we're going to have a fist fight, don't th, th, working arm has super strength because it sucked all the energy from the useless arm.
Yeah.
I guess that is how it works.
It's incredible how well this man fights with one arm.
I know.
That's it. He's finished off both of these guys, but interesting to me, he didn't kill him.
They killed his wife, but that was just a beaten.
I don't know. He is the most badass character I've seen on this show so far.
Yeah, because he fights only with one arm and he always wins?
Yeah. There's something.
Well, okay.
Now there we have the scene out at the crash site, and they're trying to figure out,
now Kyle, of course, already knows who toppled this, th. to figure out now Kyle of course already knows who toppled this stagecoach because he told them to but everybody else is they were trying
to solve the crime and it would have been a hard crime to solve except that
luckily Gorman engraved his initials into his pickax which he used to move a
boulder into the path of the stagecoach and left it behind.
Those are a couple of big lucky breaks for the crime solvers there.
Yep.
And so now they know who done it.
And there's a fight between Joe and Adam about,
because Adam suspects Kyle had something to do with it,
and Joe doesn't understand that.
And then, what, Joe leaves and Paul sleeps sideways on the bed in his clothes like a sad child.
He does. He does. What's wrong, Paul? Did you not get asked out to prom? Did you lose your lucky baseball mitt?
What's wrong, Paul?
He, uh, turned, he's sad because Joe is gone. His family's being torn apart.
Adam says he's gonna, Adam says, political trouble causes people to scream at each other.
Scream things they don't even believe. He says, it's got to be me or little Joe, and Joe needs you more than I do.
And he goes, you can't have two different points of view in the same house, and that's
all there is to it.
And so he jumps on his horse and he's going to ride off to, I forget where he says, if he
even... He's going back to New England.
Oh, it's going back to New England.
It's pretty.
Oh, yeah.
He's headed off because he and Joe just cannot agree on this South versus North business.
And then there's a big mining meeting. Now here it is. Kyle is making his pitch to all the miners all at once.
Now that he's got that rabble rousing Hennessy out of the way. But Ben walks in, and Ben asks all the mining ta, t, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, th, th, th, the, thi, the, thi, thi, thi, the, the, the, the, thi, the, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. And, th. He, th. Hean, th, th. Hean, th. Hean, th. Hean, th. Hean, th. Hea, tho, tho, thin, tho. He's, thoo. He's, thoooooooooo. He's, together, together, tho. He's, thoo. He's, tho. He's, tho. He's, the mining tycoons to leave and when they don't get up he puts
his hand on his gun and he says I've asked you to leave me and Kyle alone and they do and
then as they're walking out you hear a couple of them grouse and one goes oh that's unethical.
I don't see it. That's very funny. Well this is unethical. It's unethical.
No when a silver miner's upset.
No, don't get a room full of silver miner's upset.
Or mining tycoons, I suppose.
Well, then what happens?
Ben and Kyle have a conversation.
Ben really wants Kyle to admit that he was in love with Lily.
I'm not sure why.
Oh, I guess so he can feel the pain of tearing people apart.
They talk about the ponderosis, the the tapapapapapapapapes the the the the the the the the the the the the pain of tearing people apart. Something like that.
They talk about the ponderosis, the tap root for the cartwright boys, I don't know. And then we see
Joe... And thick root headed downward like a storage organ. Is that what a tap root is? It's what a tap root is. It's a carrot. Oh, oh, a storage organ. It keeps all the nutrients. That's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tap tap root root root root root root root root root root root root is. That's the the the tap root root root root root root is tap root root root is. It is. It is. It is. It is the the tap root root is. It is. It is. It is tap root is tap root is tap root is tap root is tap root is tap root is the tap root is the tap root is the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tap root root root root root root root is the the the the the the tap tap root is tap root is tap root is tap root. It is tap root. It is. It is. It is tap root. It's tap root. tap root. tap root. tap root. tap root. tap root. tap root. tap root. tap root. tap. What's a storage organ? It keeps all the
nutrients and then the other things can grow out of it like little Joe and
the and the tiny brothers. Oh man I would not want a pedunculated storage
organ. Dunkulated storage organ. That'd be trouble.
That would be trouble. Well this episode concludes with
Joe riding up on Adam and we understand Adam has not been making haste on his
way back east. He seems to be lolligging a bit. Joe catches up to him and he asserts
his manhood. I don't know his His story organ. Yeah, like a story organ. And then two go home.
And then there's an odd final beat where Adam tosses his bedroll over his shoulder and
Joe catches it and they smile at each other. I don't know what. It seemed like that
with meaning but I don't know what. And then that's the end of the episode and it brings
our Bonanza season one love interest body count to 11. We have lost don't know what. And then that's the end of the episode and it brings our
Bonanza season one love interest body count to 11. We have lost 11 women. And
how many episodes are we in? Is this episode 18 we've lost 11. Wow. That's a lot.
But that does include a bear who we're not sure the gender of the bear. And the
bear was a love interest? Well not for any character that we met.
I'm not sure about including the bear. But the bear's, bear did die. I think it's implied.
It's implied. Okay. And as I always point out at the end of one of these, I'm sad to say, at this point now we only have
413 episodes left of Bananas. We talk about it. And we can do this by Saturday.
Now I remember we did the math once.
It's gonna take 17 days if you were to watch all of Bonanza
start to finish with no breaks.
And that's, there's not 17 days left till Saturday.
I don't know what to do.
Oh, well, maybe you can,
sometimes you can watch something on like double speed. Yeah, I I th and th. Yeah you'd miss a lot of really important plot points. Or you could just pray.
Yeah. That's supposed to help. Supposed to help keep the apocalypse at bay? Yeah. I thought you prayed to bring it on.
Either. Either. Oh wow. I don't know that way to place. Okay. I'm gonna pray to, I'm gonna pray
say, hey God, give me 17 days, then come get me. What doesn't matter what you pray for? He does whatever he wants.
Oh, okay. Okay, but it is important that you pray for something.
Yeah, yeah.
Just so he understands, okay, you're there, you're talking to me.
I like that. I'm gonna do whatever I want.
Yeah.
Women die because they're supposed to get into another business,
which is working for themselves.
I guess that's it.
All these other actresses, they retired.
They retired and they got into real estate.
Uh-huh.
They became hashtag girl bosses like yourself.
That's right.
Yeah. Well, all right.
Any final thoughts, reflections about this is a very important episode of Bonanza,
which I imagine we're going to see other episodes that concern
the Civil War.
But this is the first time.
It seems like it would be from here on out every episode, but I don't know.
I feel like they're going to forget it for a while.
They just might.
I think they just might.
Yep.
Once again, yes, no talk of slavery at all. No. They just don't, they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they don't, they they don't, they don't, they they don't, they they don't, they they they they they they they they to to to to to to to to to. to. to. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. slavery at all. Nope. They just don't they just don't they just don't
cover it. They just don't acknowledge it. That's that's the third rail of
Westerns. Something like that. That's when that's like in a marriage where there's just
certain issues you just don't talk about anymore. Yeah.
Yeah. Mm. Do you have some of talk about anymore. Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Do you have some of those in your marriage there, Amy?
Oh yeah!
He's a Frankenstein!
Of course, of course.
Oh, and you don't talk about that.
No.
You don't talk, just like I'm not supposed to talk on this podcast about monsters,
and I never do, but I am sketching out rough plans to murder your husband because he's a
Frankenstein. Well I don't want to hear about it. All right, all right but now I've
well it's been pushed back because I first and foremost have to find Frankenstein
Island that much more about it. Be careful of that gorilla at large. Yeah well yeah I'm not I think I'm gonna bring the gorilla the gorilla the gorilla the gorilla the gorilla the gorilla the gorilla the gorilla the gorilla the gorilla the gorilla the gorilla the gorilla the gorilla the gorilla the g g g g g g g g g.
