All right, Brian, who for some reason signs his emails Ryan, I'm gonna start the show
with a y'ha like always, so make the necessary adjustments to the equipment.
Here we go.
Yee-Haw!
Oh, wait a minute!
What was that, Mutt-Teller?
Mutt Taylor is always firing off some kind of weapon at the beginning of the show, and what was that, Mutt Taylor?
Mutt Taylor is always firing off some kind of weapon at the beginning of the show and
this time looked a little different to me.
What do you got?
I got a Rambo compound bow that I just shot into the side of my tractor trailer for
Shits and Griggles.
Wow, now Rampo, when he, Rampo, That's a grandpa and a Rambo. Grandpa. That's what they called me.
That's what they should have called that last movie.
He's, when he does it, there's an explosive device on it, isn't there?
Isn't that right?
Yeah, so I'll wait till next week.
Holy shit.
Oh man.
All right.
Well, good.
Hey, folks I'm going to the thing I say at the top of this show every time. Hello friend, come on in. The gate is open wide. And that is once again from the lyrics that was later written to the music
of the theme song of Bonanza and as we've discussed before those lyrics are an awkward fit.
Okay, welcome folks to episode 8 and 6 of Bananas for Bananza with Dalton Wilcox. That's me, I'm Dalton Wilcox, a real working cowboy.
I am the poet laureate of the West and our nation's foremost collector and chronicler of the
wit and wisdom of the West.
And on each episode of this podcast, we discuss an episode of the classic Western
TV show Bonanza, which sadly rode off into the sunset after only 14 seasons.
And today, we are up to season
one, episode 8, the Philip Diedesheimer story. The Dutchman, the Dutchman. He just
calling the Dutchman. He says at the end of the episode, he is a Dutchman with a
Transylvanian accent. It's really impressive. Is that what that accent was?
I was trying to place it throughout the show.
Yeah.
But he said at the end, he said, hey, future people who want to talk about me, feel free to
just call me the Dutchman.
So I guess we can do that.
And we've got a wonderful guest.
We're going to check in with our my regular co-host we got Mutt Taylor. Hello, Mut.
Ladies. Mutt. Oh, just to the ladies. Sorry, gentlemen.
Gentlemen, don't listen to Mutt when he speaks. Throughout this episode, he'll only be
talking to the ladies. Uh, Mutt Taylor is the guitarman of the Journeyman, Country Western Band. And you're riding around in Peterbilt. That's right. I'm living in the tractor trailer and driving in the cab.
And if I feel like camping, I camp in the cab because it feels like I'm not at home.
Staying one step ahead of this virus.
Yeah. Good for you. Out running it. All right. And then we've got Amy Sleverson,
a Christian entrepreneur. Amy, how are you?
Hi. I am so excited because my multi-level marketing company,
Lott's Daughters, has so many new product lines as a result of this episode.
Oh, really?
Yes, yes.
It was so inspiring.
And that was, and I think a lot of it was because God or God's son wasn't featured in this
this show and he was, he was within me.
Oh yeah, God's, oh, Little Joe?
Little Joe's within all of us.
This was an unusual episode of Bonanza and that half the regular cast wasn't in it at all.
You know, sometimes there'll be a thing.
We've had it to happen before we're,
Hauss'll say, well, folks, I'm off to San Francisco,
goodbye for the rest of the episode.
And that happens in the first five minutes.
But this, we didn't even, we didn't even catch a glimpse of Ben Cartwright
or Little Joe, not even once. Yeah, and you never saw little Joe Joe, the the to to the to to to to to the to to to the thio, thio, thio, thio, thus, thus, thi, thi, thus, thus, thi, the, th. th. tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, tho, th, th, th, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th, th, th, th, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th, the, th, the, th, the, th.. th. th. tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho. thoooo. too. to. to. tosa, tos. tos. tos. tho, tos. We, to mill hundreds of pieces of giant timber in a single night
Like he's a cobbler's elf of timber melon
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but so Amy now so this is something that often happens you you go back now.
Yeah, that's right to me to make a to me to their today. Well, we're getting way ahead of ourselves now. we're getting way weigh weigh weigh weigh. We're getting way th. We're getting way th. We're getting way th. We're getting way th. We're getting way th. thing way thing way thing way thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. We're thi. We're thi. We're thi. We're thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th. We're getting way way way way way th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi thi thi to t te te te te te tha tha tha tha tha tha tha the th is something that often happens you you go back now you're a big old
Bonanza fan, but you're just like all of us you're revisiting these episodes in order and
sometimes you'll become inspired by what you've seen to come up with a new Christian home good
which people can buy through your multi-level marketing system which has now the two levels just
you and your husband right right right? I mean we're willing to, we're looking to expand,
but so far we've got to move a lot of the product that we already have in the garage.
So, but now I'm thinking we're going to get into grocery delivery to widows, people who've, their husbands have died at work.
And it's called Victory, Victory Pantry, and it's where you're in,
you know, your husband's died in an important cause.
And then you get a little bag of groceries, send your, padded groceries to your friend, you know.
Yeah, that's a great idea.
Finally, Christian grocery delivery.
I don't, you know, I'd like to know
that the person delivering my groceries is a person of faith.
Instacart, you don't know.
You don't know where they're from,
or and then they might try to say,
oh, I'm gonna exchange that flower you wanted for some other kind of flower. But, th, 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, we th. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, than, than, th. th. th. th, th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, than, than, than, than, than, than, than, than, than, to than, to to to to that to to than, than, than, than, than, than, than, than, than, than'm going to exchange that that flower you wanted for some other kind of flower.
But we won't, we want to exchange it, we just won't bring it.
Do you guys deliver to tractor trailers?
Because I could just as easily drive to a grocery store, but I'd just as soon have it delivered,
especially by Christian.
Of course, we definitely delivered to truck stops and any rest areas. Just as long as you put it on it, we it, we it, we it, we it, we it, we it, we it, we the the th it, we th it, we th it, we want it, we want it, we want it, we want it, we want it, we want it, we want it, we want it, we want it, we want it, we want it, we want it, we want it, we want to truck stops and any rest areas, just as long as you put it on
our Christian credit card, which is a federally recognized Christian credit union.
We also do extractions of dark spirits with your mortgage lending and it's a 21% interest if you're cash poor.
You said federally recognized but it's not federally backed.
It's just the federal government acknowledged this.
I see. People, they have sent us mail.
The government's aware of you.
Yes. And by the way, yes.
That's the perfect time to extract a dark spirit
when you're refinancing your mortgage.
Just get it all down to one road.
But I want to get our guest in here, ladies and gentlemen.
We have a wonderful guest this time each week.
We bring in somebody new to discuss an episode
and sometimes it's somebody I don't know I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I know I know I know I know I sometimes it's somebody I don't know and this is that latter case this is a fellow by the name of John Gabber and how you doing John?
Correctly if I got your name wrong. Yeah it's pronounced Gabris.
Thanks for having me Dalton nice to meet mutt and Amy pleasure meeting all you guys.
This is exciting I thanks for giving me a platform for getting my shit out there, get my stuff out there. Oh yeah, no, we do every once in a while cuss on this show, you feel free.
So what do you mean? What do you, what do you, you're an actor and a podcast man?
What's your story, John? What do you want to get out there?
Well, I tell my friends I'm an actor, my accountant knows I'm a podcaster and I call but I call myself a comedian.
I guess I was supposed to obviously quarantine kind of hit with the COVID-19 stuff and like
then there's all this like kind of police stuff that's going on but really I'm supposed to be out
promoting my new show right now but it's not we haven't been able to film it so I had this slot booked
already but I'd like to do like a deep, deep plug now
to check out, In Practical Jokers presents,
Body Swap Sushi.
And that, and, and,
Wait a minute, what, what is going on up?
What, what that's supposed to be the show? I'm in airing on True T. T. th of delays in production and and like the premise
of our show, it's been punted to, who knows, Q3, Q4, no one can really tell.
So you're telling me, they scheduled you as a guest on this podcast to promote your show
and they scheduled that so long ago that now that turns out the show hadn't been able to be made, and all things been thrown off........ Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. to. to. to. to. to. to. to be. they. they. to. to. the the the to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the show hadn't been able to be made and all things been thrown off. Okay. Yeah and it was supposed to be like I'll just give you the rundown. It's
so I go to body sushi restaurants where like what the hell is a body
sushi restaurant goddam it's where like rich businessmen eat sushi off of the new a nude woman. Oh I did this with Chris Christ Christopherson one time. Yeah yes yes. But he was the that. th. that. that. that. that. that. th. that. that. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. 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. th. th. thi. th. th. thi. th. thi. th. th. one time. Yes, yes. But he was the nude woman.
See, and then that's where we're playing with that too.
So I have the impractical jokers, those guys who can get anything greenlit at TrueTV.
They got me on there.
And so it's presented by them.
And we go to these restaurants, and there and the sushi's on my body and we see how long it takes for the group of horny businessman to realize and kind of where where we
go from there you know? My husband loves impractical jokers because it tricks
people into feeling bad. Yeah you're just going through your day feeling fine or
however you're feeling then all of a
sudden, somebody tricks you into feeling bad.
Hey, John.
You think one thing's happening but another thing is and then you feel ashamed.
I love it.
John, has anyone ever mistaken your little wiggly for some shrimp or some such? Well, there in lies another, so there's like a, like the third act as they say is, I'm, I, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, 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, thi, thi, I, thi, thi, somebody, somebody, somebody, thi, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, thi, somebody, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, somebody, th, th, somebody, somebody, th, th, somebody, th, th, th, th, th, the th, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm a, I'm a, thi, thin, tri, tri, tri, somebody, somebody, tri, somebody, somebody, tri, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, tri, thin, somebody, somebody, th in lies another, so there's like a, like the third act, as they say, is
actually a game against me because they, they hit me with an injection of 100 milligrams of
to see Alice before I go out there.
And a big part of the game for me is, so try not not.
Yeah, exactly. So I'm trying not to get erect the whole time and they and part of the game is I have a little shrimp tail
You know a spirit gum to my to the tip of my little wiggly as you called it and that if anyone grabs that I'm immediately
Disqualified. Oh spirit gum that stuff sticks on there, but good you got a shrimp down to your pecker?
I just got just the tail. Boy, a nightmare.
Hey, now.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Yeah, you got to get that off with alcohol.
Which in and of itself you don't want to put on there.
Hey, Dalman, how do you know so much about theater stuff and grease paint and stuff?
Well, I'll only know about that in particular because sometimes I'll glue a mustache on if
if I accidentally shave my mustache which I've done several times you know
you know because you know how it goes if you accidentally shave
off a corner of it you the whole thing's got to go and then I'll just glue
it glue one on for a few weeks until I grow back a new one.
That's very common cowboy practice.
You find most cowboys.
Half cowboys out there on the range got just temporarily gluing on a side burn
because they took one off by accident.
I crocheted a shaving.
You understand, I'm shaving in the reflection from the bottom of a tin can out there on the range.
It's not easy. I th easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy. 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 th. I's not easy. I'm not easy. I'm not easy. I'm the. I'm then I'm the the the thecked the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the reflection. I the reflection. I the reflection. I the reflection. I the reflection. I the reflection. I the reflection. I the reflection. I the the the the the the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I's not the. I's not the. I'm not the. I'm not the. I'm not theanananananananananan. I'm theanananan. I'm theananan. I'm theananan. I'm theanananan. I'm the the theee not easy. I crocheted a beard so I could do direct sales at sports
bars. What color a beard did you make? I made it as a dark brow to go with my
hair. My hair is kind of a dishwater brown. Yeah. Yeah that's about right. I didn't get any sales.
But boy did I have a tasks. that's about right.
I didn't get any sales, but boy did I have a good time.
Wow, I didn't know we all had this in common because sometimes I've singed off my mustache
in a campfire, but I don't have a problem because I can grow a beard or a mustache simply by
kind of doing a full body tense. Like if I make a a bowel movement that kind of tension will also force hair
out of my face and I can just watch this watch oh oh my god wow holy shit yeah
that was like the woolly bully like magnet man yeah I'm meant'm meant to look Sam Elliot.
That's, see, I have kind of the opposite. I can't shave, but in order to present a clean cut face every once a mile,
I have to cover my whole beard and like chin putty and like fake skin and stuff for when I go out
for auditions for guys with clean shaven faces, CEOs.
I'm going on a lot of auditions for CEOs, business types, you know.
Yeah, yeah. So you wear a bald cap for your chin. Yeah, I wear a ball cap for my chin.
And a lot of people say it makes me look like Jay Leno, Brandon Lee, like my head is just a little
max headroomy, but I can't shave my face. I just break out instantly if I try to shave this face.
Well, that's one thing I was going thoen thininin thin the thin the one thin thin the one. thin, thi thi thi thi. thi. thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thre. th. tho, I'm the, but I'm th. th. th. th. th. I th. So I th. So I th. So, I th. I th. So, I th. 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 th. I th. I th. I th. I the, I the. the. the. the. the. theat theat theat theat theat theat theat theat theat theat theat theeat theeee. So, I the. to shave this face. Well, that's one thing I was going to say, no offense, John, but you don't look like a woman.
And so when, to fool somebody into thinking that it's a woman underneath all that sushi, they
must put on hundreds of pieces of sushi.
You must be covered head toe.
Oh, I'm getting the full boat. But also, with certain angles and posture and you know you can
make pictor like with just contouring and shading these this hair makeup team
I come out and I come it's confusing at least for a few seconds but mostly
there and the fact that you're silent that can be very womanly as well as laid out like like you're a victim of some things
happened.
That is very feminine.
Because I know that I have a real nose for pheromones and I can smell a woman about
about 600 yards.
It's usually the case.
So but if you're covered in sushi, I think that fish is not unlike coffee grounds to
cocaine, you wouldn't know. And I don't know anything about that. And don't look th th th that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th. that that th. that thi that thi thi thi the thi thi the thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. that that that thi thi thi that that that thi that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that's thi. thi. thi. that's thi. that's thi. that's that's thi. that's thi. that's that's thi. thi. thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. thii. that's that's that's thi. thatthink that fish is not unlike coffee grounds to cocaine, you wouldn't know.
And I don't know anything about that and don't look in my trailer.
But I think that has something to do with that people wouldn't know you as a fellow.
Yeah, a lot of people are saying I'm smelling male and female fish, but no real human pheromne's
underneath. Because yellow tale and towar, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff is, th. that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that stuff, that, that, that, that, that, is is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is. that, is. that stuff, is. that stuff, is. that stuff, is. that stuff, is. that stuff, is. that stuff, is. that stuff, is something. that stuff is something. that stuff is something is something is that stuff is a. that stuff is that stuff is, is, is a that stuff is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is a that stuff is, is, is a that stuff is, is, is a that stuff is a that stuff is a th. th. that stuff is a th. that that stuff's very overpowering powering to the old factory says. Oh yeah the old factories I don't know I don't know how he brought old
factories into it but I like talking to I have you know I have a photo
collection of photos of old factories anyway hey Amy you you talk a lot
about how women are supposed to be quiet do you do you and your husband
have any sort of an arrangement like that?
Or you know what I'm?
Yes.
Oh, okay.
I, what I do most the time, if we have anything to talk about, is I, I lay under a blanket and
then he stands over me and then just, he shouts, he shouts and he really enuncies it so I hear it
and I take it in and then then then when I feel like I need to get a breath I
take the blanket off and then I go under again and then you know he tells me what he
wants for dinner and things like that and that's a conversation we're close we're very close. Now when you you know he tell that you th th th th th th th you you you to to you to you the you to you tos like that. And that's a conversation.
We're close.
We're very close.
Now, when you, I don't understand.
When you have the blanket on over your head,
that's when you can say the thing you want to say?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
It's so that I hear his message, and I'm not distracted by any other, you know, source of information.
Like, oh, you know, what if I saw, you know, something outside of what he's saying and I might,
I might, I might, and I take it in that, that he wants, he wants spaghetti for dinner tonight. Right, right, right. And he doesn't want to hear. Oh, I know, I know, oh, I know, oh, I know, oh, I know, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, you, you, oh, you, you, you, you, 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, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. thi. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. that that he wants he wants spaghetti for dinner tonight right
right right he don't want to hear oh I know oh did you say that I didn't hear
and I was looking out the window yeah yeah I get I don't have a phone for
that very reason no phone for me
do you guys have a shorthand does he come in and like pointed the blanket and you
know that means it's time to lay down and put it over your head and he's going to explain what he like for dinner?
I like being under the blanket. You know, so many people say, oh, women, you know, it's against women's rights and stuff and I say,
have you ever been under a blanket?
It's nice. It is nice. People do it willingly just about every damn night.
You know, yeah, blankets are wonderful.
Okay, I figured you, the two you might have had some kind of an arrangement.
I, I didn't know it was going to be like that, but yeah.
So you got, and you're spending all your time together. You guys are you are you are you doing this quarantine business everybody's talking about? Oh, yes, but that doesn't mean that we're, you know, we're not staying active and that was one of my new
inspirations for the show. You know, there's so much physical violence in Bonanza. And so I'm going gonna start like a physical fitness thing
for Christians and it's called but it's also self-defense and it's called the
other cheek and so what it is is in every fight you you're in the right
you are the righteous so you can either hit or let them hit you but no to that you but no matter what you're you've the right you are you are the right you are the right so
you can either hit or let them hit you but no matter what you've done the
right thing like a car oh right oh yeah I like that that's a good idea you're
all about ethical the ethical nature of fighting physical fighting my husband
I are working on it. Cartrighteousness.
Cart righteousness.
Exactly!
Yeah, beautiful.
You guys are a good team.
You come up with good names for stuff there much.
Hey, don't work too much on fighting.
That would be my advice.
Hey, John, are you quarantining?
Are you doing all that nonsense?
I'm not.
I'm quarantining. I've been keeping busy though.
Guesting on all these podcasts is forcing me to watch assorted media as everyone has.
As every, like you guys are doing the Bonanza thing and a lot of other actors are even turning to their own old shows that to, as a way to get even more money out of a sitcom or a TV show that ran for five to ten years. Hey, John, you haven't done a podcast of show about Deadwood called Deadwood Boys, have
you?
I have not yet.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
That's your plan now?
No, no, I'm saying these guys, they already do it and we had a guest on last
week who's on it.
And he's trouble.
he's trouble. We'll they, th. I I I I I I I I I th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'm, tho, I'm, 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. Oh, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho-a, tho-a, tho-a.. We's, too-a. Wea. Wea'-a'-a'-a'a'er-a'er-a'er-a'-a, tho-a, tho- he's trouble, don't do it. And we will take it as an affront if you do. Yeah, don't you.
Yeah, I won't.
Hey, I'm in over my head.
I thought a lot of these shows were going to be half hours,
kind of fun or interesting to watch
and not like blurry, weirdly audio-mixed,
45 minutes of...
God, I think. to 49, friend. This is just when they took no commercials. Just landing straight in the middle of a story where you're not even sure who the characters
are. And now, and I'm guesting on, like, I'm doing Michael Imperioli's soprano show.
I'm doing Jenna Fischer's The Office show. I'm doing Kevin Spacey's aftershow for
a house of cards. I'm doing Crystal. I'm doing Crystal. I wrap-up show for undatable. I'm doing all these podcasts.
I lined them up back in the day when I had the show planned on coming out.
So I've been keeping busy watching so much fucking content.
I'm doing I'm doing the Woody Allen movie hour with Louis CK.
So I'm like a fucking busy as all hell.
I gotta say you really honor your commitments.
No matter what comes up, you honor those commitments.
Has Cosby contacted you about a Cosby show rewatch yet?
Yeah, I guess he still owns the rights to Little Rascals and he's gonna be doing Little
Rascals on the Peacock network and needs an official podcast wrap-up show.
So I keep, I keep, uh, so I have meetings.
I've been having a lot of meetings with the cause, you know,
talking through the plexiglass on the phone and getting shit together.
He says it's for COVID reasons.
I think it's official as part of the federal building that he's currently living in.
Boy, I'll bet you he is just as hilarious as ever through the plexiglass. Well, now, I do, you reminded me you was talking about the
Deadwood boys. I do, I want to give people a quick update as to what's going on this weekend.
We're recording this episode on July the 1st, and as you know, on July the 4th, we're
having the 2020 first annual Wilcox Ranch Exposition of Cowboy Poetry, Whit, Wisdom, Western Music, Beans, Neckerchiefs,
gonorrhea, and rope tricks. In addition to all of that, I am now advertising
that this event is a very, gonna be also a very exciting armed standoff with
the law because here, I'm just outside a tombstone, Arizona, and the law has
basically said that stuff like what I'm planning and cannot go forward so the sheriff called me, the the the the the the the the the, the, the, the, the, the, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, thii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thiolk, tho, triqqqqqqqq, and, and, and, tri, and, and, and, and, and, and, tri, tri, and, tri, and, triii, t................... I's, thiii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, the the thin, the the the the thea'a'a'a'ea'ea'ea'ea'ea, togea, toge, t t said that stuff like what I'm planning cannot go forward. So the sheriff called me says they're going to be blocking off all the roads to Wilcox Ranch.
So guests, number one, cowboys don't need roads.
I'm recommending you guys come in through the, you know, just ride through the San Pedro
River Valley on horseback, come on over the mountains there if you like. But if you do need to take the roads, the roads, the roads, the roads, the roads, to to take, to take, to take, the roads, to take, to take, the roads, to take, to take, to take, the, to take, to take, to take, to to to to to to to to to to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to to to the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the the, the the, the the the, the the the, the the tooo, the, the, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too do need to take the roads, please, I'm advising people to come heavily
armed and prepared to take out a few sheriff's deputies.
And as I think I mentioned last time, the sheriff told me a while ago that he considers
his deputies, pretty expendable.
So don't worry about that.
And this is going to be a no masks, no hand-washing event. As I says, we're going to have to have to have to have to have to have the French the French to have the French the French to have the French to have the the the the to have the to have their their their their their, their, their, their, their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their, their, their, their, their, their.

Okay. What are you going to say much? Well, just that I'll be still got scheduled a Mexican standoff with myself in two mirrors,
but my promise is that I will not fire first, so I expect to be there.
You know, come on by any time of the day I expect to be there.
Yeah, I keep telling people we're going to have a one-man Mexican standoff wait to see it. Barrow Beeble, Kahey, is going to be sent on sand paintings.

I could run people through like a Roman candle show, sort of like a throwback to old burlesque slash,
kind of danger, the danger of fireworks.
I've got a cop buddy here who's just been dropping off cases and cases of fireworks outside my house.
So I can bring those down, fill my ass up with Roman candles, light them up, you know, put one in my mouth,
shoot them both out at different ways, go hands. I could do one where I could put one in my ass, one of my mouth and do cart wheels. People love a lot of th. Oh th. Oh th. Oh th. Oh th. Oh th. Oh th.

Yes.

Here comes our break.
to the tp.
too.
.
. Hey, we're back from our break.
Buy whatever that was.
Please.
Okay, here we go.
Episode 8, the Philip Dishimer story.
This episode is most noteworthy, as we've mentioned a bit for the things that it does not
have.
Half the regular cast of the show is missing entirely.
There is no comic, yeah.
Who is it, who are the characters on the show? Who are the characters that that that that that that that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that that is that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that?? that...... that. that. that. that. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. th. the. the. the. th. the. the. the. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. Wait, who is it? Who are the characters on the
shit? Who are the characters that are supposed to be in here? John, you're telling me you don't know.
Wait a minute. You don't, you're not a Bonanza fan at all? No, I don't watch.
No, I don't watch any of this shit. I have to like just I just watched the one episode. the one episode. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the th. the the characters. the characters. the characters. the th. th. thi. the characters. the characters. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. the characters. the characters. the characters. the characters. the characters. the characters. the characters. the characters. 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. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the.. You said I could cuss and then all of you call me out for the first curse I make.
It's not the cursing, it's the context.
It's the tone.
This is up there, the tone, this is the finest television show, what's it's ever been made?
Yeah, context matters. I mean, what show alive? This is episode six and it's got an or an eight, what is this?
Unpronounceable title name for that?
You have a point there.
They should have just called it the Dutchman story.
The Dutchman.
They should have called it the Dutchman.
Or like, call it literally.
Why is that character who I thought was an important character in this episode? He's just a guest, 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 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. heed. he's. heed. heed. hee. He's. he. the the the they. they, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he, he, he, he's, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He, he, he. He. He, he. He. He, he. He. He, he. He, he. He. He, he. He's, he. He's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. He's, he's, he's right. Well, all right, I'm sorry to
hear that damn if we can't get a Bonanza fan as a guest on this show for
crying out loud, but Bonanza is the greatest television show that was ever
made. Some say it's the only television show, really, and yeah, so this is
episode eight, normally the show, yeah, it's every television show and literally because we think they just took scripts from unused
pilots and threw them in.
And now I'm starting to see that maybe these were just like narrative documentary dramas
about historical figures that they're shoehorning into Bonanza.
I'm thinking now.
Well, our friend Barlow B. Mulcahy he pointed out the episode that he was discussing with us that the cart rights were incidental to the plot and did not need to be in that episode at
all and I can't get that out of my head because that's very true here.
In this episode, Adam is a mining engineering expert, which he's never been before.
And probably won't again. Which ones Adam is he the hot one?
He's the Han Solo one. Yeah yeah he's a fucking stud. Oh wait do you see
Little Joe man but you didn't. No kidding. Because you didn't. Wait the hottest character on the show is someone named Little Joe. I'm uncomfortable with that. He's a grown-up. Oh he. It's a he too. Yeah. Oh. Oh, there's no regular women on this show. Oh. Oh, the the the the the the the the the the the. the. the. the. the. the the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the hot. the. the hot. the hot. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the hot. the hot. the hot. the hot. the. the hot. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. one. one. one. one. one. one. one. one. one. one. one. one. one. one. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. He's a grown-up. Oh it's a he too? Yeah. Oh there's no regular women on
this show. All the women have died. All the women have died. Yeah all the women
are dead. Well I do like a woman gets a prominent role in this as the person who's
crying about her dead husband for 50 straight minutes. Yeah. Yeah that's when you get the victory in Paradise Pantry.
That's when she would get a little box of groceries.
Oh, that's right. That's what that's from.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. The owner of the mind says, uh, send the widows the usual box of groceries.
Which there had to be a less heartless way to phrase it, maybe
just leave out usual, you know. I think also if your show is just rapidly, is
wildly vacillating between casts from episode to episode, you need to really
lay out who the bad guy is in an episode and no better way than to say send those
widows a bag of groceries. That's like we now we know oh you're the bad guy
the two handsome guys and the Mr. Niedermey or whatever those are the good
guy and then up DeTisheimer and he's a real person. That's right. He's based
on a real person. Oh yeah. He is absolutely. This is history. You think they would have made up that name? It's a living history?
Bananza says the state of Israel where the fires the fires fires fires fires fires fires fires fires fires fires fires fires fires fires fires fires fires fires the fires the fires the fires the fires. the fires. the fires. the fires. the fires is the fires is the fires the fires come. the fires come. to to their. to to to to to to to to to to the It's a living history. Bonanza is the state of Israel where the fires come down from Virginia City which is
Sodom and Gamur and then burns through the map and that's that we're trying to...
the reason Pa and Little Joe aren't there is because sometimes you can't see God and you just have to have faith.
That's beautiful. That is, that is beautiful. Sometimes you can't see God.
Is the mine, is the mine in every episode? Is the mine a thing? Is that like, it is? It feels like this whole
town is built around mining and is this? Well, we've never seen that mine entrance before our
friends. Nope, never. The elevator, that had to have been difficult to build on a sound stage. All right.
It looked like it was used for Brigadoon. Oh, yeah. Maybe. Hey, let, but let me just quickly
explain for John and for anybody else that might be listening to this who is just as ignorant about
Mananza. Normally the show is Ben Cartwright, he is the father
and he has buried three wives.
And by each of those wives, he has had a son.
The first one was Adam, and then there's Hoss,
and then there's Little Joe,
and they all have three different mothers.
And they have had, apparently,
genetically passed down to them,
certain personality traits from their mothers, which makes them three totally different guys.
And it's the four of them living out on the Ponderosa, raising cattle and growing timber.
And then, and this is during the Comstock load, and there's silver mining going on, and
there's all these miners coming in, and mining barons coming in, Virginia City is nearby and there's tons of city slickers in Virginia City and that's what's going on in Bonanza.
But every episode is like a completely different show.
So that's part of what's exciting about it.
And so, yeah, that all makes sense to you?
Yeah, I have a question real quick.
Now in the opening credits of this episode, goes pernel Roberts then Dan Blocker then Michael Lannon
Then Lauren Green is that how they always do it or are they given the other two short triff because they want in the episode
Oh man, I have to admit I have not been tracking the order with which
Well, I'm always distracted by how long we get to look at them that's true in the credits. They just you know Fell a tha-in. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their th. th. th. thi. thi. thin. thin. their tho. tho. their their their their 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 they're they're they're they're they're their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thi. thi. thi. their their their their try. their the opening the opening the opening the opening the opening c. the opening the opening credit. their opening credit. their o' their their his name is on the screen and it's not, it's a live shot of just a fellow standing there kind of smiling for a long time.
So the main characters are four men and the only women who are represented in the
cast are their deceased mothers is like part of their back story?
Yeah. Is there a regular woman that's in the cast?
No. And sometimes there a regular woman that's in the cast? No. No. And sometimes not even a woman.
No.
That's true.
Well, they're helping.
Unless they're a helper, just like in Genesis, God shall not, a man shall not be alone.
And I will make her the helper.
And then sometimes women come on and they cook.
Yeah, and John, there is no women featured prominently throughout the series but there is a hideous racial stereotype so don't worry. Oh all right.
I don't know who you're referring to but sometimes we do have a very
comical and very appropriate and very sensitive performance from Hop Singh, the Chinese cook.
I thought you were talking about the misrepresentation of the Dutchman in this episode. Oh, and I was like I don't think now is the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the theing about the misrepresentation of the Dutchman in this episode.
And I was like, I don't think now's the time to center Dutch racism.
Oh yeah, probably not.
But yeah, from time to time, a woman will pop up on the show and it seems like she's
going to hang around.
Like the episode will end and it'll seem like, well, there's no reason we wouldn't see her in the next episode, but then we never see her again.
And mostly because she dies.
Usually, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
And is this like numbers where the math wiz guy is an integral part of each episode?
He helps him solve problems using math.
Let me stop it right there. No. No. It's only in this episode that Adam Cartwright is a mathematical genius., no. that. that. that. that. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi's thi's thi's thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. It'll is thi. It'll is thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. It'll is th. th. th. It'll th. It'll th. It'll th. It'll thi. It'll thi. It'll thi. It'll thi. It'll thi. It'll thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's that Adam Cartwright is a mathematical genius.
Oh, okay.
That feels convenient, but I like it.
Or featured prominently, to be fair, we haven't seen much from him.
And we learned that science is expensive.
That's true. That's one of the big takeaways of this episode.
Science is expensive. This episode, also, by the way, has some wonderful guest actors, as it always does, and I've, and I. that. that I. that I. that I. that I. that I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, that I, that, I, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that feels. that feels. that feels. that's that's that feels. that feels. That's that feels. That's that feels. That's that feels. that feels. that feels, that feels, that feels, that feels, that feels. that feels, that feels, that feels. that feels, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th, thi, I thi, I thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. this episode. Science is expensive. This episode also, by the way,
has some wonderful guest actors, as it always does.
And I've really taken to looking into their backgrounds,
the bad guy in this episode, Andrew Holloway.
He is the owner of the O'Fear Mine.
And that's an actor by the name of R.G Armstrong.
He played the Sand Man in in the Metall Metall Metall Metall Metall in the metallic metallic in the metallic in the metallic metallic in the metallic in the metallic in the metallic metallic in the Sandman in the Metallica video, the Sand Man. What? Yeah.
What?
Sleep with one eye open.
Wait a minute.
Yeah, go check it out. He looks crazy in it. He aged in a way that no one has ever
aged. He has the most extraordinarily wrinkled face that it's possible for a man to have.
And so they put him in that video. In fact, his face is so wrinkled
that he also played Prune Face in the Dick Tracy movie that...
Oh yeah!
In 1990.
You know, when they first bring him in,
I think he's her fiancé.
I couldn't put it together at first.
I thought they were together too because he was older and of authority and he could have purchased her online.
Yeah, but that was it. The show opens with a father-daughter scene and she's
celebrating her engagement to a fellow named Gill. Oh by the way also
R.G. Armstrong you might find this interesting but Taylor also played the role of
Louis Vendretti in Friday the 13th the series. Oh, okay. Yeah, he looks very
familiar. Now I'm not as familiar with the series because I don't watch any
other television but Bonanza but from the movies I feel like I I understand. Yeah.
Charles Cooper played Gil. He was a Klingon in Star Trek 5 and next generation. He was on Cop Rock
and he was in a very strange movie
called The Rabbit Test in which Billy Crystal has a baby I know that movie.
Yeah. That's a movie that a star Joan Rivers wrote and directed it and Billy
Crystal has a baby in it. Yeah real lost a time. Yeah. A real lost a time. Yeah.
A spoiler alert I'll tell you that the last line of that movie is oh my god it's a girl. thi thi th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. Billy thi. thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the the ti. ti. ti. the ti. ti. the ti. the the ti. the the the thi. th, lost a time. Yeah.
A spoiler alert, I'll tell you that the last line of that movie is, oh my God, it's a girl.
They, they should, they should recycle old movies and make a new series of Bonanza.
So we could just have that use as a new show. I know, we've been trying to get that made as Moonanza,
where the boys colonize the Moon.
Do Comstock Load on the Moon.
Yep, Silver Mining on the Moon.
Yeah.
And then finally, Mala Powers was Helene Holloway.
And she was on a television show called Appointment with Adventure.
Now, in my view, it's somewhat undercuts the Adventure if you had to make an appointment for it.
And she also played Daniel Boone's wife
on the magical world of Disney.
Boy, I'll bet you those were some really powerful things
between Daniel Boone and his wife.
You know, you have an appointment because if it's an appointment,
I mean you have a point.
If it's an appointment with Adventure, it implies that Adventure has a secretary.
And that just doesn't sit right with me.
Yeah, that's right.
I tell God to schedule all my tragedies
between three and four.
I'm asleep.
You should put that on a coffee mug.
That's when I took a nap. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Yeah, you'd rather wake up to bad news.
All right, well,
Hey, I'm going to show the first clip of this episode here.
Where what happened?
Take your headphones off, John.
These get real loud.
Yeah, I haven't mastered it.
Wait a minute. There's a bunch of things I need to do here. I've got to expand this here and then I'll go say
share screen and then I'm going to say share computer sound and then I'm going
to do this and then are you now are you now you're seeing my screen?
Yep. Oh God Jesus how many tabs are open? Red to porn?
Hey now. Hey now. All Christian Red Tube, porn hub, all the fans.
All Christian porn?
That's impressive.
Wow.
You should get a woman to quietly help you.
Yeah, that'd be a good idea.
All right, what are the tabs?
Yeah, they're all fine.
All right.
We got to.
So this scene, now, this is the very first scene of the episode. Helene is getting engaged to Gil. This is her engagement. the engagement. the engagement. the engagement. the engagement. the the the the the thia. thia. thia. thia. thia. thia. thia. thia. thia. thia. thia. thi. thi. thi. thi. thiole. thi. thi. to. to. to. to. too. too. too. too. too. too. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. the. the. the. the. to. the. the the to-a. t. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. to. to. the very first scene of the episode the Helaine is getting engaged to Gil this is her engagement party
Gil is the superintendent of the mine and his father-in-law to be owns the mine and he comes over and just right
Immediately expresses the fact that he fucked up let's
This is something else
Forget about being superintendent for one night, Gil.
The mine will run all right without you.
I sent the night shift back to work on the third level.
You what?
I told you we couldn't work the third level without new timbering.
Dad, you promise no mine talk. And that whistle indicates there has been a mind collapse.
Yeah, it's the happiest signifier of tragedy you'll ever hear.
Men are trapped.
It sounds like a high-pitched bansy, just laughing.
Yeah, a little shader with like goat legs comes out
Just a cute little note to let you know that your fiancé is dead.
It's like the end and a great escape when they all die and then it just cuts to, bum,
bum, bum, bdum.
Yeah, it's a lot like that.
Well, I thought that was a pretty striking moment where he just walks right up to him
and says, hey, don't you worry about anything. I've fixed it so all kinds of people are going to die. And that's exactly what happens. I miss this about shows when stuff would just be
really laid out clearly within three lines of dialogue. Now we know exactly what's going to happen.
And that's kind of, it's kind of nice and comforting to know, you know, there's no temporal shifts, no POV swaps, no voiceover to confuse to to confuse to confuse to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to happen. And to happen. And to happen. And to happen. And to happen. And to happen. And to happen. And to happen. And to happen. And to happen. And to happen. And to happen. And to happen. And to happen. And 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 thuuuice, thuice, thuice, theuicea, theuuicea, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's thea, that's thea, thea, thu know, there's no temporal shifts, no POV swaps, no voiceover to
confuse you, it's just, hey, here's what we're dealing with for the next 49 minutes.
Yeah, characters should speak in exposition, not meaning or emotion.
Yeah, no time for metaphors and similes. Just give me the fucking, just read me the stage directions.
Well, you know who didn't get that no I'm a business owner
I'm a business owner I don't have time yeah just come right out and say it
yeah the Dutchman though he speaks in poems whenever he opens his mouth
well anyway after this scene we go straight to the opening credits and here's a little
piece of trivia I found online about this episode.
This episode is the eighth episode of Bonanza to feature the burning map in the opening
credits.
Isn't that interesting?
Yeah.
All right.
And this is the eighth episode of Bonanza.
That's correct.
That's how it winds up.
Wow. Now, they go to the mine, they rush to the mine, engagement party's been ruined, they run
over to the mine, and Adam has to punch a guy who's upset because his kid brother is in
the mine, he just punches them out.
And yep, it turns out that third level collapsed, and what happens, yeah, that's when
Holloway says, well, make sure each of the widows gets the usual box of groceries. Which I'm telling you, I feel like you could say, please send the widows some groceries.
Just say it like that.
But then the person would be confused to go, oh, you mean the usual box? And then the
cat would be out of the bag. Yeah, you really got to lay it down thick that this happens frequently. And he's the the the the the thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that thi. thi. that thi. thi. that thi. that thi. that that that thi. thi. that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's thi. that's thi. thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. the. the. the. the. the. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. teate. te. te. te. I te it down thick that this happens frequently. Well, it happens so frequently that Paradise Pantry, the business model I'm setting up, is
specifically for people who lose their life at work and their spouses.
You know somebody who died on the job, you send them their left loved ones, some, a box of pantry items like, you know, stuff
that you really need, eggs, and beans, and milk.
Yep.
Yep.
Yeah.
I mean, I think if you're a widow and you receive some eggs and beans and milk, and then
later you're still crying over your dead husband,
a person would be in their rights to say,
what more do you want?
You could make just meals alone with those three things.
Have you ever had egg, bean, milk, stew?
Oh, man.
Oh, there's nothing to work.
That's a one pot meal and you don't even need to cook it. I've tried to make tho tho tho, tho, th, to make th, to make, th, to make, th, to th, the to, to to the th. th. to th. to the to tho, to the to, the to, their, their, their, their, their, their, to, what, what, what, what, what, what their, what their, what their, what their, what, what, what, their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. thi. thi. too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, their, their, their, thetried to make it countless times but kept accidentally making bean omelets. I wanted to I wanted to make an egg bean milk stew but it kept coming out as a bean omelette.
It was very frustrating. I need to figure out the pan heat. I need to figure out the pan heat. That's what it is. Well, okay, so it turns out that Adam and the cartwright boys are supplying the timber to the mine and that's why Adam. the the the the th. the the th. the th. the th. the the th. th. the 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 to to to to to come. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. the the the the the the the the the tome. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toeber to the mine. And that's why Adam is involved and intimately involved in this.
And he knows all, now he doesn't just show up with the wood.
He's done the calculations, he's done the math,
he knows all about how the engineering of timbering in a mine
works, because they've got trees on their land.
It makes perfect sense.
And he figures he'd like to have a conversation with the the, the man, who is sort of engineering the timbering.
He wants to talk to him, right?
I'm trying to skip over a bunch because we somehow gabbed about all kinds of stuff.
Hey, but there's one funny thing.
I like this expression, a guy, the whiskers. Yeah, yeah. I like that.
The most relatable scene in this episode for me is the, I don't know if we're there yet,
but the thick-necked moose character, characters name Ox Cartwright or whatever it might be.
Hauss.
Hauss Cartwright.
Is he the big thick-neck guy who orders a second stake?
Yeah, that's right.
He got a second steak and he won't pay for it.
He says, I can't figure out who's going to pay for this on an empty stomach.
You better send me a second steak.
And now that guy is in every episode.
He is a regular character on them.
He is unless he's not.
Yeah, until he dies in real life.
Yeah, that's that's right. He is one of the cartwrights.
His wife a bag of groceries.
Yeah, I guess so.
He's a car right.
Yeah.
That gives me promise to see that leading men could be guys who seem like they may
have just taken off a blue coveralls from their plumber or a garbage man job and then turned around and became a lead actor of a TV show. You love to see just a thick-necked guy with a calloused
hand who just randomly gets to be a TV lead. That excites me, that excites me that
big, doughy, thick-neck freaks have a chance in Hollywood. Yeah, well he is,
the character of Haas has unlimited strength and he has a very, very weak mind.
He sort of has the ability to fight like a like a cartoon cat, right? Like he gets rolled up
in a ball with a bunch of people fighting, but when they peel him off, he's still fine.
Maybe he has like one hair standing out of way. Yeah, he's the Popeye of the Ponderos. Yeah, yeah, except it's steak and not spinach. And we're gonna, we're wea, we're th. We're that we're that we're that we're that we're that bra we're that bra we're that bra we're that bra we're that bra. that bra. that bra. that bra. that bra. that bra's that braw. that braw. that brawl that brawl th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the th. th. the th. the th. th. the th. the th. th. the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the th. th. the the th. the th. the th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thee. thi. thi. the. thi. thi. the. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th Ponderos. Right. Yeah, except it's steak and nut spinach. And we're gonna, we're gonna show that brawl, that brawl was something else. All right.
Now, but I gotta get through some of this plot for crying out loud. What happens here? There's a bunch I could skip actually. Now that I'm looking at it, most of it's not important.
Okay. Yeah, but okay. Big thing thing happens. Adam and Philip Datesheimer, the mining engineer. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the mining. th. th. th. the mining. th. the mining. th. th. th. th. the mining. th. th. th. the mining. th. the mining. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. the mining. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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. I. It. It. It. 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. t. t. t. today. t. t. th. th. the th.heimer, the mining engineer, and Gill, the mining superintendent and fiance of Helene,
go into the mine together to check it out.
And damn it, if it doesn't collapse on all three of them.
And they are all, for 100% sure, gonna die,
except that Haas uses his super strength to climb through the rocks.
He just climbs through rock. And he, gigantic log off of Adam and the Dutchman
and they come to safety, but Gil has perished in the mine.
Can we talk about how bad ass it is when Haas is like, no one could stop me from
going down there to rescue them?
And then it's revealed that it's an elevator,
like kind of takes the wind down, I'll rescue them.
Like slowly being lowered.
Well, not only that, he has to call to somebody off screen to lower him.
All right, all right.
Use the pulley system to send me slowly and safely down there.
To save my brother.
Just two guys in Wizard of Oz fleeces with cigarettes hanging out of their mouth,
cranking the fucking rope down floor.
That's about right.
That's also a part of the turn your other cheek workout zone is that we provide we provide you know just rocks
to throw at things but then also you can pickaxes and then yeah and then a
lot of punching and kicking. Oh yeah that sounds good I'd like a self-defense I'd
like to carry around a pickax for self-defense not a bad idea people
take a real serious.
Amy, I didn't realize when you said you got some business ideas from this episode how, like,
how one-to-one they were going to be and how specific to this. Oh, there's no, there's no, there's, I go, what, I go, there's no B it's just eight eight eight to a hey
eight exactly what it is a to a and everything in between I love it okay so
what is it hoss has to tell her that her fiance is dead and she has a big
dramatic scene man oh man does she have a big reaction to that Helene does and then and then she goes back and they tell her father that Gil is dead and he has a to the to the the th th th th th th the the the the the the the the 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 to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. to to to to to to to to to to to she have a big reaction to that? Helene does.
And then she goes back and they tell her father that Gill is dead.
And he has, you know how sometimes people will put the letter H in front of, you know,
they'll really pronounce the H in a word like, what, W-H-O-T?
He's got the most pronounced what?
that I've heard in a long long long long long long long long long long long long long long time and I appreciate it. And then, but the grieving-
Wait, was Gil's death revealed by like,
and where's Gil?
He didn't make it?
What would he mean?
He's still down in the mine?
No, Dad, he's dead.
Yeah, his guess is.
Yeah, it was pretty, the exchange was, where's Gil?
He's today. the exchange was, the thi. It's the the the the th. It's th. It's th. It's the exchange was the exchange was pretty. It's the exchange was pretty. It's the exchange was pretty. It's the exchange was pretty. It's the exchange was pretty. He's the exchange was pretty. He's pretty. He's pretty. He's pretty, the exchange was pretty, the exchange was pretty. He's, the exchange was pretty, the exchange was, the exchange was, where's, where's, where's, where's, where's, where's, where's, where's, where's, where's, where's, where's, where's, where's, where's, where's, where's, where's, where's, where. He's, where. He's, where. He's, where. He's, where. He's, where. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He's, where. He's, where. He's, where. He's, where's the exchange. He's the exchange was, the exchange was, the exchange was, the exchange was, the exchange was, the exchange was, where's the exchange was, where's the exchange was, where's the exchange was, where's the exchange was, where's there. Oh, okay, we'll go get him because I want to ask him. No, you don't understand.
He's dead.
Soft playing it with Holloway there,
letting him walk himself into that trap back.
He sure did.
He sure did.
And then that's when Holloway erases all doubt as to whether he's the bad guy
this episode when he says, Gil, dead? Well, I'll have to hire a new superintendent. That is his daughter's fiancee he's talking about. Man, what a jerk. So is this
when we, no, we've already met the Dutchman, but here's what happens. Adam sits down
with the Dutchman and the two of them start talking about how to fix a mind.
And it's too slow. It's too slow, science is too slow. It's slow. It's slow.
And boy they really talk again and again and again about how the Dutchman is not
getting his eight hours of sleep every night while he's trying to figure out how to solve
this engineering conundrum. That's a major feature of this episode. Well that's a genetic
creative Dutch people is they have to sleep eight hours, or they can't do mining.
I'm sure you're right. I've never heard it, but I'm sure you're right. Well, I'm going to play another clip here.
This is the new superintendent comes in to talk to the guys while they're trying to figure out this whole thing. Why am I playing this clip? I'm it's a it's a good example of
the ways the people get punched out in this television show here have you
ever considered just playing the full episode and we don't talk and that's
that's the podcast well that was my original pitch but somebody at
Earwolf said no you can't do that I don't know why anyways now
now I'm gonna send all your spouses a box of groceries.
Yeah, right.
Good damn it.
Here we go, clip.
That is the problem, Adam.
And it is increasing every day.
The veins of silver, go wider, the deeper they go.
I know.
And the U-bracing that we use in a narrow stope
becomes worthless in a 65-foot wide gallery. And it is not only to overhead pressure, Adam.
There's a constant side pressure as well.
I want to talk to you, Dutchman.
Vertical bracing and cap pieces, certainly.
But it would be standing so thick that a man
that a man could not bea thii.
I'm in charge now.
We are very busy. Listen to me when I'm talking to you. You're going to take orders just like the rest of the men. How are you going to get 65-foot timbers down a mine shaft?
And I want you to stay away from the man, hear me? They're down there to work, not to visit with you.
And another thing, Dutchman.
theylla to...
theyr...
Wow. That's the only way to shut him fellow up.
And they do keep the Dutch stereotypes going.
We see a little bit of the Dutch martial arts with the shoulder, open-handed shoulder pop to
get it to open up his cheek and then he hits him with the right cross.
He sounds Transylvanian to me and it makes me wonder if he's some kind of vampire or something. Oh that's an interesting question. Is that a
little vampire? Yeah, it might explain why he's up all hours of the night doing
calculations. Sorry, he would be a little more afraid of 65 foot long pieces of wood I feel like
it would be almost scary for a vampire. That's a good
point. I think a vampire in his line of work would spend a lot of time saying
well can't we use metal? Yeah, maybe. Also it I know there's a lot of good
reasons for diversity in TV but it's really complicated to keep track of a show
if you're watching the episode for the first time and everyone is a brunette white man. It's very like when that guy enters I he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he's he he's he he he. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th.

I'm. watching the episode for the first time and everyone is a brunette white man. It's very like when that guy enters I thought maybe he was Gil Back to Life or one of the
other brothers. Was that little Joe or Big Joe? Who is this person? And then it's, he's the new supervisor,
a character that I forgot mattered. Yeah, that's the same guy that got poked in the whiskers before. His character name is something like Tar Gallis or something.
Somebody wear a hat.
Yeah.
That's what our family do.
We have all the kids and my husband and I, we have different hats that just say, you know,
I'm this one of the family.
I'm the mom.
That's a good idea. That's a good idea. Yep, gotta labor
yourselves. All right. Oh, that we have a very beautiful scene where Haas comes
to talk to the fiancee about about death and how a simpleton process is death.
And he explains, I used to mash my fingers and my mother would kiss him and tell me the pain was all gone.
And the pain didn't go away, but all I remember now is my mama kissing it or something
like that.
I like that he's, the injury that Haas used to get all the time was mashing his finger.
How do you do that? And then he talks about how he was in love with a girl and now that was something we saw in a previous episode and she died and he says he knows that his brothers and his father were sorry,
but it really helped him to talk to God.
It's just the first time we've heard about God on this show.
It might be.
Do you think that Haas was mashing his own fingers under boulders and whatnot just so he could get his mom to kiss him a bunch of times?
I wouldn't be surprised. This is this speech where he says you gather your catastrophes in life and then they it's good because then you have all these things that you realize there's meaning and
suffering? Yeah, I believe that's the Dutchman. The Dutchman says we've got to find a way to explain to this fiancé how good it is th is th is th. th th th th is th th is th is th th th th is th is th is th th is th th is th th th is th is th th th is th is th is th is th th is th thi thi. It is thi. thi. thi. It is thi. It's he he he he he. hey. It's hee. It's he. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It this. It their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their their their. their. their. It is. It is. It's. It's. It's. It's their their their their their their t. It's te. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's their. It's their. It's. It's their. It's, I believe that's the Dutchman. The Dutchman says, we've got to find a way
to explain to this fiancee how good it is
that her husband died because your tragedies
are something they help you or something.
You keep track of them.
Which is what I have a new product.
It's a necklace with charms.
And you can just every time something horrible happens in your life, you get a new charm for it.
Like, oh, melanoma or miscarriage or death of a parent or death of a child.
And you... Are the little charms representative of that?
Yes. Like, pretty soon you have a full necklace. I mean, if enough stuff happens to you, I mean, if enough stuff thi Are the little charms representative of that? Yes, they're a little picture of a hole?
Pretty soon you have a full necklace.
I mean, if enough stuff happens to you and you're around long enough, you have a full necklace
of just these beautiful silver, sterling silver charms of terrible things that have happened
to you. That have shaped your life. Wow, can you imagine the necklace that Tom Seismore has?
Man, I love the idea of tragedy charms.
So you never, at any time of the day, have any moment of not being reminded of the tragedies that have been forgotten.
It's truly never forget, but because you've got it as jewelry and bangles.
Wow. Wow.
Oh, Amy, what's the harpoon gun on your bracelet?
Oh, that's my brother.
He passed away in a terrible accident.
He was on a vacation in, in a Mexico, and he just, he's not, he's kind of clumsy and we said,
oh, don't do anything crazy on there.
And he, you know, I mean, they had people telling him, be careful and he's just so silly
goose and he died.
What's the paper shredder one you have? Is that what that is? I was wondering about that one. That's a funny one. That's a funny one. 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 a that's a that's. that's he. he. He's a he.

I was wondered about that one. That's a funny one. I mean not so funny in that it
happened to somebody else. But my my boss at work and that's how I had to start being
self-employed. I I said to her as a joke oh, put your finger in the paper and he he died. That's he he thi thi he that's he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he. I said to her as a joke, oh, put your finger in the face,
say for Stretter, and you know, I'm going to turn it on.
And she didn't think I was going to turn it on, and then I did.
And she lost a finger and she loved to play the piano.
Gosh, she was such a thing for her.
She loved to bring a keyboard in and just cheer us all up. But, but to to to to to th. But, but, but, but, the th.. But, th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, their thi, thi. thi, thi, put thin, put thin, put thin, put their thin, put to put, put, put, put, put, put, put, put, put, put, put, put, put their their their their their their their their their their, put, put, put, put, put, put, put, put their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thin, thin, thin.

She loved to bring a keyboard
in and just cheer us all up, but not anymore. Hey, is that one there? Is that juggling pins or bowling
pins? That's bowling pins. Gosh, you guys, that's a thing you can get anything. So I was at a party once,
and I haven't been to a lot of parties and
it was at a bowling alley and what happened is the this little kid and it was his birthday
and he he wanted to be the ball and he just rolled roll roll roll totally and crash in the pins. And he got, he got the ball and he just rolled, roll, roll, roll,
totall the things and crashing the pins and he got a concussion
that he just couldn't come back from.
Wow. I can't help but notice you've got nearly a hundred of those things on,
so maybe we could do a recurring segment where we check in with your tragedy charms and account
for them.
I'd certainly love that.
I would.
That's a good idea.
I like that you're allowed to have, oh sorry.
It's such a great gift idea for anybody who you know personally and you say, oh my gosh,
what's happened to them recently? Or usually within the past 10 years, you can find something and go, right? Remember that. And you, 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'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd that, I'd that, I'd that, I'd that, I'd that, I'd that, I'd that, I'd that, I'd that, I'd that, I'd that, I'd that, I'd that, I'd that, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would.

do is give someone one and they'll go what's this a little charm thing of a
hammer for it I'll say it's for this clonk oh that's a great idea that's a
great idea it's a tragedy that hadn't yet happened yeah there's nothing better than a sharp blow to the head the head the head the head the head the head the head the head that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you th that you don't th the the that you don't the the that you don't the the that you that that you that you that you that you that you that you that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th th th th th the the the tho tho tho tho tho tho tho the tho the the thoo. the the that that that that that that thattragedy that hadn't yet happened.

That's what I just tell my husband.
I don't like it when I know that it's coming, but if I don't know, it's fun.
Oh, of course.
Yeah.
Man, the image of a little boy going end over in down a bowling alley and crashing into the pins and th and th and the pins and the pins and the the th and the th and the the the th and th and the th and the the th and th and the the th and the the image of a little boy going end over in down a bowling alley and crashing into the pins and getting a concussion and
Then did the machine come and grab them up and it pick him up into wherever the hell it goes
He was torn into a biblical amount of of pieces
Was any of them sent through the ball return? He was sent through the ball return? He was really it was kind of a moment of the moment of con the te the ball? the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the ball return, drew the balls, and it
was really it was kind of a moment of connection for all of us there. Just the
just to know that he died for a purpose and that was for the love of his family.
And that's why I got them.
I have this, it's a silver ornament that you can put under front lawn that just says
family in large script.
What a beautiful remembrance.
And I hope the owner of the bowling alley sent the family the usual box of grocery.
So, with some frozen pizza, they also have that.
That's what I remembered about that party.
Be your nuts.
Oh yeah.
Everyone at the party got one of the charms.
It's sort of like a shared tragedy for everyone that was there.
Well, only if you ordered in time.
Right.
Because it was only like a, it was a promotion that I was only doing for that week.
Oh yeah. All right. Hey back to the episode real quick here. Let's just
because big thing happens. Targallis he's talking about how he's busy like a bumblebee and the talk of bumblebee
suddenly gives him a light bulb moment a honeycomb and then he designs a model of a new kind of
way of timbering a mine that looks nothing like a honeycomb. No, not at all
nor is it on the same kind of a geometric understanding. Not in the slightest.
It was inspired by a honeycomb, I would guess I'd say very loosely inspired by a honeycomb.
By the by the end it just looks like something'd say very loosely inspired by a honeycomb.
By the end it just looks like something Mario has to jump over.
It's just, it's just a blind, it looks like a Tetris piece.
It's literally just two squares.
And they're like, ah yes, just like a honeycomb.
It looks like a shelf system you'd buy it IKEA.
Yeah. It can hold blue rays. Well bees don't know how to make squares so they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're't know how to make squares, so they're stupid.
Yeah, they're so dumb.
Yeah, I'm glad they're dying.
But that must have been a time where when they, when the prop master came to him with
the model, they said, well, this doesn't look like a honeycomb.
And thi's a prop master. What's a prop master? That's th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, well, well, well, th, th, th, th, well, th, well, th, well, th, well, th, th, well, th, well, th doesn't, well, th doesn't th doesn't th doesn't th doesn't thus thus thus tho, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, tho, tho, thus tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th isn't th isn't th isn't th isn't th isn't th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th doesn't th doesn't th doesn't th isn't thus thus that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that,'m sorry, what's a honeycomb? Must have been a thing like that, but it's kind of... And what's a prop master?
What's a prop master?
That's a fellow who makes all the various.
But we talked about him that one time
when they had to put money in the glass vase at the broth.
Let's hide the money in the honeycomb timbering system and they all
they'll all laugh at them because it's got to cost too much money and you know
it costs more money than a bunch of boxes of groceries I tell you that so they don't want to save anybody and then we have a moment where Hosk gets mad and he says I don't th.. the the th. th. they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're 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 they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're to to to to to to to to tell. tell. tell. tell. they're to to 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 and then we have a moment where a hoss gets mad and he says I don't like what this woodpecker saying to you I never heard wood picker as
an insult before and then he tells him you're the biggest flabbermouth liar
in the Comstock he's got away with words and I thought he said flannel mouthed
oh is that what he said maybe it was flannel mouthed oh I thought I thou I thought it was a reference to like. Oh, now what does that mean? Soft and dry. Yeah, yeah.
A flannel mouth liar?
I thought it was a reference to like gagging yourself during a sex act with sheets or a scarf or like a lumberjack shirt or something like that.
Oh, that must be.
Oh, that's Saturday night talk.
Oh, Amy!
Holy macaroni.
Oh, Christian Bondage. Well, uh, tell me about it. That's my life.
Oh, Amy. Oh, that explains a couple of those charms. Well, now, I want to get up to our last clip now.
Our last clip is, because this episode has at no time has
anybody shot in this episode which is very disappointing but at least we get,
man oh man do we ever get, a hell of a brawl. Oh boy. All right you ready for the big
brawl? Oh yeah. This is exciting. Now this is a brawl where Hoss and the Dutchmen have to fight off a whole bunch of minors who are fighting for the right to die under cheap tembering. and uh. and uh. and uh. and uh uh uh. and uh uh. th. th. And uh. And. And, toe. And, toe. And, toe. So, toe. So, toe, toe, toe, toe, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their the the the the the. the the. the. the. the. thi their thi thi their thi themen have to fight off a whole bunch of miners who are fighting for the right to die under cheap timbering.
And this, so this is like, I thought of it today,
like it's like if the Incredible Hulk
and David Banner were fighting together.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, that's right.
You got a Hulk and a scientist.
Wait, well, here's the big. a big... Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Yeah, that's it. We're here to see that they're protected. Take him off there. Take him out there. Here we go. Oh no!
Oh no! She's so turned on.
The elevator.
Dink, tink, tink.
All right, break it up. I'm still in charge here.
All right, break it up. I'm still in charge here. What a brawl! Wow.
I like that the gang of minors were like, oh we're going to a fight.
All right, everyone, get your vests and hats on and let's go rumble.
They're all dressed pretty similarly and all have visible guns on their hip, yet managed to mostly just sort of like mud wrestle.
Like they're kind of, it looked a lot like my dad at Thanksgiving, like wrestling my uncle for the rights to the
next shot a Yagermeister or some shit.
Whoa that sounds pretty good.
Oh yeah that is.
Oh it is.
Yeah there's one moment toward the end of the fight where a fellow is standing behind
Haas and he just patiently waits his turn to jump on Haas back.
He's very, he's very respectful about it. Well I won't do it now he's dealing he's dealing he's dealing he's dealing he's dealing the the th. He's dealing is is is is is is is is is they's dealing is they. He's dealing is they. He's dealing is they. He's dealing is dealing is dealing with they. He's th. He's they. He's is they. He's is they. He's they. He's a they. He's a they. they. their. their. their. 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. 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 t. He's t. He's a t. He's a t. He's a t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. it now. He's dealing with those two guys.
There's the etiquette.
The camera cuts away anytime Haas has to get from the standing to the ground or vice versa.
Because I imagine a man of that girth in those pants is not able to just kind of bounce
down and back up.
It's always like he's standing.
He's getting tackled, cutaway, because this this this this this this this this this th, because th, because th, because th, because th, because th, because th, because th, because th, because th, because th, because th.
always like he's standing he's getting tackled cutaway cutaway cutaway because this doesn't look good. I was wondered about the utility of those cutaways to Helene watching the fight because
you don't learn a lot from her standing there watching the fight and it had to have been.
You understand what's going on in her body. Yeah she's getting aroused. These are men.
Her fiance is dead. She's realizing she might not get married, not only might not get married, she might not ever see men fight for her love.
So watching this, thinking of all those groceries she's going to get.
Oh yeah.
Well, that, yeah.
And what you, what can happen with groceries, depending on what you get.
Yeah, it's fucked up because the, the head of the mining company, sends cucumbers, a baguette, eggplant,
carrots, and a dildo.
And a dildo.
Yeah, he's very in charge of keeping it clear.
You know, as we know from his opening exposition, he likes to keep it clear, so he turns the subtext into text by throw them.
Yeah, use the perishable ones first, and then when you're done with those, you've got
the amount of women who have chipped their teeth on dildo soup by accident.
Man, say it.
Well, but then a remarkable thing happens where Andrew Holloway, our bad guy, up until this moment,
suddenly has a change of heart.
He's been down to the mine.
And he suddenly says, hey, man, we've got to put those, whatever, if you want to call it
a honeycomb, that's fine.
We're going to put it down there in the mine.
And that's it.
And we're all going to do it. And then a whole bunch of the mining barbinesinesines mining mining mining mining mining mining mining mining mining mining mining to mining to min min min min min min min min min min min min min. the mining. to to the mining. to to to to to the mining. 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 to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the th. the th. the th. the the the. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the.ooooooooo. too. to. to. to. to And then a whole bunch of the mining barons go down into the mine,
where they've got the honeycomb system is there, and the old system is there,
and the Dutchman sets off an explosive, and he and Adam are gonna test out
if they will survive in the honeycomb system.
And there's a funny moment where all them bastard city-slican, God-s, the-shaiom................ I-s, the-s, the-s, the-s, th-s, the-s, the-s, the-s, the-s-s, the honeycomb system when this blast goes off and well, you know what they do.
They don't want to die.
I know you didn't bring me on for this context, but it's kind of zeitgeisty that
this is about the rejection of science and looking away from science, disregarding
safety for individuals and employees, and kind of just powering through for the sake of money.
It's kind of a timeless.
It's timeless.
Yes.
That's why I was led to manufacture all my home goods abroad so that I wouldn't see how the things were made.
And then, or how they got to me,
and then it was more like a mystery,
a spiritual mystery,
and you know, I wouldn't get caught up in all this stuff of,
you know, oh, is somebody,
is an environment being destroyed as a result of all the stuff I'm getting made?
Ha ha ha, it's worth it. It's worth it. destroyed as a result of all the stuff I'm getting made.
Ha ha ha. It's worth it. It's worth it. Do you believe, yeah, I mean for heaven's sake.
And the end of the world or the apocalypse or whatever, that's going to be a wonderful moment
and it can't come soon enough, isn't that right? Amy? Is that how you feel? Oh, yeah, yes, no. That's why it's important to kind of, to preempt the apocalypse, to try to be more of a sinner and try to do more stuff that's bad because
that will kind of get the ball rolling and then will I'll be lifted up.
Yeah, fantastic. I know you're
supposed to you get raptured and your clothes stay behind but will my six gun
and belt come with me? Well I would buy a three-year protection plan. Oh okay
I would buy a three-year protection plan. Oh okay. Do you have one?
Yeah I have protection plans. Okay, I'll take
one. For the Rapture. Okay, yeah. Three-year protection plan for the Raptors. It's
999 a month and that just comes directly out of your bank council. You don't even feel it.
And then, you know, if you have anything that you left behind, I'm it's it's insured that it'll be
brought to in heaven. Oh, oh, okay. Well, that's great. That's really good. Well, so,
oh yeah, you mentioned we glossed over it here, but the they when they decide to
install the honeycomb system in the mine, that's going to be a one-night job and it is...
These are 12 inch by 12 inch beams that are probably 10 to 15 feet long.
He says how are we going to get a 65 foot beam down the mine?
Yeah, I got you. Well, we got 40 of them down overnight.
On this little elevator.
It's a miracle.
It's a miracle.
Yeah, and Little Joe did it.
Little Joe did it, and without even once appearing for even a moment on screen in the episode.
How did I get 40 pillows made out of polyester with biblical quotes on them in a week!
It's a miracle!
That is a miracle.
Where are they making those pillows?
China!
Oh, okay.
Or Honduras!
Oh, great.
Wow, that is a miracle.
Oh, great.
Wow, that is a miracle.
Man, oh, ma'am.
Well, okay, folks, that's the episode. Anybody got any final thoughts? the thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. tho, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. th. th. th, th, th, th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. that's, that's, that's, thi. that's, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th, that's the episode. Anybody got any final thoughts on this wonderful episode of Bonanza, the Phyllis Diedesheimer
story, and he was an actual historical person who really did these things.
He had a mining, timbering, solution based on honeycombs.
And uh, that's right.
That's right.
Does, Bananza do this forest gum thing a lot? Does Ban does Bonanza accidentally butt up against cultural touchstones and like moments
in history throughout the other episodes?
Oh yeah, we had like episode three or whatever, five was enter Mark Twain and it was all
about how Mark, we get to see the scene where Mark Twain decides that instead of going by the
name Josh, he will go by the name Mark Twain.
The other truth is Josh.
Josh Twain. It has a nice ring to it.
I mean, he did a lot of Joshin.
I guess that's right.
But there's certain topics that are never covered, like the decimation of the Native American indigenous population. Yeah, there's certain topics, that's true.
They don't get into everything.
Because there's no time.
No, there's no time.
They have to talk about these important white figures of history.
It's a 57 minute episode.
They can't get into all these offshoots that might make it more interesting.
How many episodes of this show are there?
Well, unfortunately, yeah, they only were only able to make 431 episodes, sadly.
You're on episode 8, right?
What are you laughing at? I'm just, I'm just doing the math on watching 420 times.
Adam Cart right here.
Oh, excuse me.
You've kept up with mathematics as he says.
Well, yeah, sadly we only have 423 episodes left of this show.
And we're going to do recaps, right?
Yeah, yeah.
We're going to do recaps of this show.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
Well, folks, I guess that's about it.
Who's got something to plug?
You've got your Impractical Jokers' Body Sushi.
Yeah, impractal jokers presents Body Sushi And then also I guess if we're plugging podcasts, I'm going to be a guest on the Naked Gun Recap Podcast with OJ Simpson next week.
So if you want to check that out, I think it's called Nodberg-No's.
That's going to be great. Yeah. He's, I like that guy. He's just charming.
It's got just a personable attitude. Apparently he records it all in a golf cart at an open golf course. So I'm excited to just get you know chop it up with a legend like that.
Beautiful you're gonna have a good time. Okay anybody else?
Taylor anything coming up for you? Well you know a friend of mine got this
