All right, hey, let's get started. I'm gonna start with a yee-haw. Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew. Fantastic. Welcome, friend, come on in. The gate is open wide. This is Bonanza for Bonanza, episode 44. We will be discussing today, season two, episode 12 of the television show, Bananza.

This episode is titled The Savage, and it has everything, man oh man. It's got a Cartwright boy getting engaged. I love it when that happens. And it's got a shootout and a brawl. There's a frontier dildo, and did you catch the dildo? No. Oh, you'll enjoy the photo I took.

Oh no. The screen captured, there's a dildo, a frontier dildo? No. Oh, you'll enjoy the photo I took. Oh no. The screen captured there's a dildo, a frontier dildo in this episode. That's great merch. And there's a fair amount of stuff that I suppose a Native American person might consider to be a poor representation of themselves, but oh well.

And let's say here, and also we got a huge announcement, Amy Slaverson's got a big announcement for us, might as well say it right up front. We has, I, I Yes. My husband and I, he's concerned about the net profits from Lot's daughters. He's been concerned about that for a while. He's been concerned about it.

He said, you know, last year you made $325. Oh. And that was most- Well, that was pure profit. And it was from one customer, a whale, came in and bought all my creams. And anyway, so he... Did he say what he wanted all that cream for? No, there was no questions asked.

Was he a whale like Brendan Fraser Whale and he needed just more cream than an average human? like Brendan Fraser whale and he needed just more cream than an average human. No, a whale is a sales term of somebody who comes in and they're high rollers. But my husband wants us both to go back to school and we're both gonna go to clown college. We're gonna learn how to have rainbow paint on our face while making a living wage and just something that can bring us into our retirement years. And I have prepared an exit speech if you'd like to hear some words. Absolutely.

Okay. This is a sad summer day. It is a very somber day. So you can't, where is Clown College in the country? They do that somewhere in the middle of the country, I reckon. It's outside of Chicago in a small town. And you can also go to clown school,

but that sounds disreputable. And I think there's a lot of nudity and crying. I'm sure. That's in Los Angeles. Oh, forget it. So you and your husband are relocating to the Midwest and committing yourselves full-time to clown college. And therefore, truly and completely,

this is our last time of having you here talking about bananas on our show. That is right. All right. If you could hum the national anthem while I say my speech. Oh my God, I didn't know that you were going to do a speech. Alright, fantastic. Here we go.

You ready? Yeah. How does it start? Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm wife deaths lingers on as several characters have said in innumerable ways, God done Cartwrights. What ethnicity is Cartwright? And legendary codependents getting themselves mixed up in all sort of relationships where they haven't been invited. May we all as Americans recognize the shoddy workmanship and whitewashing of history that makes a bunch of people in their late 70s still think this country is great, despite seasons and seasons of this TV show as evidence to the contrary.

My name is Evie Slaverslim and I am going to clown college. For the land of the free and the home of the brave. Play ball! I'm going to learn gags and tiresome improv games. I was so busy concentrating on the national anthem, I didn't really hear what you said there, but I know it was an ode to the beauty and the majesty of Bonanza, and that's all I need to know.

And if anyone, I am trying to offload a lot of tragedy charms. There are a few, a lot left that weren't as popular. There's a set of car keys, which is drop your rental car keys into an instant flush toilet, and that's $500 to replace them. And then I have a single jug, a single jug. That would erase all your lot's daughters profits right there one time doing it. Yeah, that's right. Single jug and that's when you've lost a breast. Oh, I see.

And then a semi truck and that's a multi-purpose tragedy charm because so many bad things happen. What do you mean? Semi trucks. Well, you can be in the back of one being transported over the border and be forgotten about, or you can actually get a job as a driver, which is a real long-term problem. Are you kidding me? They have a great time talking over the CB

and looking out for smokies. Well, I've just heard there's a little problem with the thousands of raspberry-like hemorrhoids. Thousands of thousands per person? Per person. My God. You get it on your exterior, on your bum. You know what I'm surprised by?

You know how sometimes people who sit on there in a chair all day working at work will say to themselves, I believe you have a set up here. I'm gonna stand up part of the day, right? Your desk turns into a standing desk, doesn't it here, Mutt Taylor? It's got even, well look at that. Look at that, all the time we've been here,

we've never seen this in action. Wow, wow. That becomes a standing desk when old Mutt Taylor says I've sat around too much today it's time to stand. How come they've never done that with trucks? Right and it's still getting hemorrhoids on my ass to get them on my feet. Oh shit that sounds even worse to be honest with you. Well if anyone out there can invent a standing truck, then these tragedy charms will finally go out of favor completely. I think if you just hooked up a trailer to a Segway, you'd solve all your problems.

Oh, a fleet of Segways pulling America's products across the country. I'd like to see that. Yeah, me too. Yeah. Okay, so that's any other tragedy, charms you're dying to get rid of? Well, no, that's it, but my new clown name, and I'd really like you to call it to me,

it's, my dead name is Amy Sleaverson. Oh, we don't want a dead name. I don't want a dead name. My new name is Milky. Milky the Clown. Milky the Clown. Okay. Milky. It's because I don't always enunciate and I have word. Does it sound like you have a mouth full of milk? Yeah. Or that I had some milk before I started. Little milk bubble. Milky is it possible just before you go you could make one final tragedy charm of losing a friend from a trio and saying goodbye to someone that you're going to miss something fierce?

Oh, well you know what that is that's that's a Diet Coke Tallboy empty crushed. Oh man, a tallboy. Yeah. Yeah. It's hard to find those but you can at a gas station still around this great country. Milky ain't gonna be the same without you. It't going to be the same without you. It's not going to be the same at all. No, it's not. We're going to miss you terribly. But well, I was about to say, I support you, your plans there.

But I do have some questions. Yes, because I do think you're talking about a set yourselves up for retirement. Well, I think a clowning is a young person's game. I just do that And prove me wrong. But for that to be the, you know, what the, what the career that sends you off into retirement, is that usual? Is that unusual? There is a circuit of retirement villages in Japan that love clowns.

And in what way? Well, you just go on in there. I mean, I've seen videos. We're kind of set up already. It's kind of a tour. Have you ever joined the Armed Services? Not yet. Well, what happens is you sign up for one thing,

and then they surprise you with where you're stationed. Oh, I see. So they say, oh, like the clown college, they said, we can guarantee you work all around the Florida area. That was gonna be my next question, oh, the Florida area. Because you know, I believe Ringling Brothers went out of business and it's a bad time for circuses,

but you don't have to work at a circus if you're a clown, but this clown college is guaranteeing you placement somewhere in Florida. But now that we've signed up, our lieutenant, there is a clown lieutenant. There's a ranking? There is a ranking commanding officer. You're coming in as a private? Well, I came in as a private. We went through a boot camp recently and I got to tell you although there wasn't there's been some changes due to PTSD problems

It was scary, you know, there were some times where I didn't think I could stand one more minute in that clown car we were 14 hours in a clown car and You know, some people are are becoming clowns for citizenship. Oh, and you just think I've never heard of that. You're coming to clown for citizenship. Man, all right. People, you know, like getting married to someone to get in the country. Yeah. Yeah. And I just got her tell, you know, I was,

you know, getting my swag all together for, you know, I've got my big shoes, I've got my, my wigs, I got my noses and the commander came in and let us all know that instead of going to Florida, we're going to Okinawa. What in the world? That's right. Holy crap. Yeah. What in the world? That's right. Holy crap. Yeah, and we're gonna be there for a minimum of three years. Just doing rest homes and tour rest homes over and over again.

You're sure you didn't just join the army? No, what they said, it's a club college. I'm sure it must be. If that's what they call themselves, it must be accredited and all that. There was some boovyacking or bivywhacking. Bivwhacking. Bivwhacking.

Yeah, that's a great word. We made some bridges out of metal. But. Oh. They have you doing like Army Corps of Engineers type, Clown College Corps of Engineers. There's a little bit. We, what was the funniest part,

was when we had to crawl across a large field while live gunfire was being shot at us. And you cannot put your head, I mean, your wig is up to here. Like it's a, it's a definitely, you know, so they're shooting at you and you, you do get some damage to those wigs, but there, those wigs are free. Cause you, you signed up for the college and, and,

and what if, what if at this point, what if, what do you think would happen if you just theoretically was to say to your lieutenant or whoever, hey, I changed my mind, I'm not going to do this? Well, that's, that's not something that I've even thought of. Okay, all right. Absent without leave, you couldn't go AWOL, they'd come get you.

No, I mean, I think that, that's called, that's called going, going Cirque du Soleil. I suppose they don't allow it, huh? No, no. That's when they say, what, you've gone French on us? Oh, yeah, yeah. Turned into a sex clown. Yeah, yeah.

You're a sex clown. And then, oh, what, are you going to wear a pointed dildo thing on your frontage, you know, to make people uncomfortable in Las Vegas. I will say the name Milky could translate if you ever wanted to shift into being a sex clown. How dare you? Okay, sorry. I'm sorry. All right. Well, so it's compulsory. You've signed a contract and you can't get out of it, and they're firing live ammunition at you, but you're gonna do three years in Okinawa. Now that's not so bad.

It's peacetime over there, I reckon. Right? Well, I mean, they had us do a couple of drills in tsunami preparation, where we would go in, as soon as there's signs of the tide going out rapidly, that that's when the clowns hit the beaches. That's when they send in the clowns. When the birds go silent and the water recedes unnaturally, send in the clowns.

That's right. Yeah, okay. and that's for tsunami preparation to evacuate people to higher ground. Evacuate people to higher grounds and you know when the clowns are going in it's time to move out. That's a sign when the clowns show up and start telling you get get up to at least the third story of a building or higher then here comes the tsunami. People in Japan understand that. They understand that.

And we are also, I mean, I will have additional, I've made a lot of really good clown friends. Oh, good. They're stinky. Ha ha ha ha. Stinky's from Ghana. Okay, could be a sex clown. And Stinky only speaks French,

but which I said, why didn't you go straight to Cirque du Soleil? But you know, he said he didn't completely understand the contract, but he's so good. He's so good on the horn because he he doesn't English just in his first language so he does kind of a harp on Mars well you guys had a full conversation in all he did and then there's, there's a do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, the clown, but it's because he's, it's, it's just, he's a singing clown. So, you know, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do do do do. Do do do do do do do. Oh, okay, maybe then he's not a sex clarinetist. No, he's just a singing clown. And there's June Bug.

Oh, I like that name. Yeah, she has a kitten heel. A what? A kitten heel. What's a kitten heel? It's a low heel for ladies. So it started in the 20s, you'd wear a little kitten heel with a moomoo

Just like a June bug does in her in her stick She's not fully developed as a clown. I think that happens in combat. Oh, I see sure yeah That's when you get decorated with different kinds of noses get decorated with different kinds of noses. You get your company nose. We're called the assassins. Okay. Okay. All right. You get a purple nose is like a purple heart if you've been wounded in the line of clowning. Get a silver nose if you've seen combat.

That's right. You get a just a very large nose if you have allergies. You're natural. You're ready to go. You're going to teach it before too long, Milky. Oh, brother. Well, I mean, certainly, of course, we wish you the best in all these endeavors. We will miss you like crazy. You've brought so many wonderful insights to our various episodes here and taught us a little bit about the whole Bible there. Learned a bunch about the Bible.

Well, I think we learned so much in this episode about how love, honor, and obey. Oh, he likes that word, Adam. That's the one thing that women can't seem to do and still won't do. Man, oh man. Well, yeah. Should we talk a little bit about this episode? We'll try to, Milky, we'll get past our sadness and just enjoy ourselves this last time as a threesome getting through an episode of Bonanza. Yes, that's right.

All right. And of course, you know, of course the gate is open for you to ever come back. Of course. I mean, oh no, I appreciate it. You ever get a furlough or shore leave or whatever it is. Come off a dead mountain. Yeah, come off a dead mountain. You never know. Oh man, wounded and you just have some sick leave. You come back to the show any old time.

That's very kind of you. You know, I, you know, I don't want you to think that I'm just money-grubbing. Because, you know, we just need to have a regular income because Lot's Daughters is really falling into bankruptcy. I don't think we'd think anyone would go into clown college for pay is money-grubbing. Okay, all right. Thank you so much. It's what's not guaranteed. It's if we stay, we go into the clown reserves. It's kind of an eight year program. So is it like a one weekend a month, you refresh your training and you're on call for any clown

emergencies? You have to go through, sometimes you have to do kids birthdays and... But you can be called up at any time. Well, and there is a chance that we're going to Oman. Oman? Where's that? It's Oman, it's in the Middle East. Yeah, okay. Are you ever going to have to fight the insane clown posse? What?

Have you heard of them? I haven't been notified. Are those Juggalos? Those are the Juggalos. The Insane Clown Posse is a band and they dress like clowns. Oh no. And they have a rabid legion of followers called the Juggalos that dress like clowns and they are notorious clowns and I'm a little worried that you might come across them. Well, as a clown,

Clown College of of of the Midwest, I shoot to kill. Wow. Better better to do that than to be killed yourself. Yeah, it's better to shoot to kill than to kill to shoot. Pew pew pew pew. I tell you, there you go. You've been practicing all this time. Yeah.

Okay. All right, folks. Hey, Jed, it was December 3rd, 1960 when this episode came out. Butterfield 8 is still the number one movie. I found out what it's about, by the way. What is it? It's Elizabeth Taylor is a promiscuous woman

and she is the other woman. She's with a married man and she accepts a fur coat from him. And there's a debate as to whether that makes her a whore because she's accepted. Did she give him her fur coat? Oh, I think she gave him. Then there, yeah, an exchange has been made. And so it's all it's it's really a movie that sort of expresses the pitfalls of being a promiscuous woman.

Transactional nature. I mean, I know in my marriage, my husband gets me a basket of curly fries before I am willing to do anything. Oh, anything at all? In the bedroom. And do you give him your curly fries? Well, he's allowed to share, but sometimes that makes his blood pressure drop. And then, you know, he can't focus on the act at hand.

Yeah, has your husband been in good health generally? Well, he's a very...he loves to say that he's type three diabetes. The fun kind. Oh wow. That sounds like the kind you don't treat. Well, the number one country song is Still Wings of a Dove by Ferlin Husky, but we got a new number one song on the Billboard chart.

Are you lonesome tonight? Elvis Presley. But did you know that this song was written in 1926 and recorded by lots of other people, including Al Jolson? No, I didn't. Before Elvis got his hands on it? Matter of fact, it was Colonel Tom Parker's wife, Marie, who, it's her favorite song, she said,

Tom, have that Elvis record, are you known to turn out at that one scene? What I read Elvis was, he didn't want to, but it sure did become a big hit, didn't it? Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes you can't trust yourself. That's what I've learned after many years of being me.

Sometimes you just gotta do what other people tell you to. Do exactly what other people think you should do. Yeah. That's true, you can. Sometimes I've stolen from myself. You have? You can't trust yourself. You can't trust yourself.

I lied to myself. I betrayed myself. I cheated on myself once. Oh no. Yeah, with my wife. Oh, okay. Speaking of wives, Colonel Tom Parker and his wife Marie, by the way, there's no record that they was ever married and a friend of theirs said, oh, they had a carny wedding.

Oh, wow. You'll probably be officiating some of those milk. I can't wait. And does it involve one of those extremely inexpensive stuffed animals? Almost certainly. Maybe. Yeah. They were carny folk, the two of them were. Celebrity birthdays, people born on December the 3rd of 1960. We've got some good ones here. Did you know that Darryl Hannah and Julianne Moore was born on the exact same day? What? Which was this day?

They're twins. They're twins. Did you further know that Darryl Hannah was married to Neil Young since 2018? I didn't know that. And still is? Still is. No, I did not.

They're five years into a marriage. Darryl Hannah and Neil Young? Yeah. Why didn't we see pictures? I ain not. They're five years into a marriage. Darryl Hanna and Neil Young? Yeah. Why didn't we see pictures? I ain't seen no pictures of the two of them together. Maybe there's drawings. Oh, court sketches. They sent over a court illustrator to do their wedding?

That's not a bad idea. Sounds like something Neil Young might be into. Yeah. Or at least just a sculpture, something where we could see what's going on in there. Yeah. What do you think their dinnertime conversations are like? I'm having a real hard time imagining those two. Neil Young and Darrell Hannah? She's hidden the tree to save trees. She was the Lorax. Isn't he a nature person? She is an activist.

She's very comfortable getting arrested. Is she really? I didn't know any. I'm not up on my Darryl Hannah lore. I'll bet you their dinnertime conversation, Neil Young just, he's cannot stop asking questions about splash. I'll bet you it's just all night. He's just like, tell me again, how did they put, make that fishtail on you? How did they do it? Yeah. And it's just all night. He's just like, tell me again, how did they make that fishtail on you? How did they do it? Yeah, and she's asking all kinds of questions about his proprietary MP3 player that he wouldn't stop talking about for about 10 years.

You mean he had an iPod alternative? Yeah, it was like Ponyo. It's not Ponyo, that's a kid's cartoon, but it's something like that, and it's supposedly uncompressed, and he a kid's cartoon, but it's something like that and it's supposedly uncompressed and he was trying to get the world to adopt it so we didn't have to fall prey to the hard compression of MP3s. Oh, I see.

Yeah. I started something like that, but it was just a caroling service where I go in person and I sing the song for you on your front stoop. Oh it's an mp3 but it's an mp me! Uncompressed. No compression at all. No compression at all. It's just me. What do you want to hear? Mmm that sounds great. Oh yeah I sing most of John Mayer's catalog. Oh, dear. Your body is a wonderland.

Oh, I was definitely picturing this as a Christmas thing, but it's not. No, it's anything. It's just an MP3 player. It's the entire catalog. Anything that's available to you, whether it's free or not, you don't have to pay for it. Well, if they ask for a song, you don't know it. That must happen.

Well, I say, well, give me a couple of notes, you know, just, or sing it for me first. Oh, OK. And then I'll try to match it. OK. So sing a song that you don't think I know. OK. The Meat Puppets goes, and when I wake up in the morning,

gunk, gunk, gunk, gunk. I feel the sunshine in my head. Okay, okay, the meat puppets. Well, they're puppets, right? Well. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah that Milky. That does sound like what some of them Muppets sound like. Probably gonna be better than that thing Neil Young's hawking. All right. Also on this day, the headline of the New York Times said, Soviet spacecraft with dogs aboard burns on reentry. Like a? It was not like a, this was a later dog. As a matter of fact, it wasn't just a dog. That's just a headline,

but there's all kinds of insects and things on there. Russia used to just send creatures up there and say, well, let's see what happens when we bring it back down. Maybe something will be alive. Go to their deaths and burning up through earth reentry. If you needed another reason to hate the goddamn Soviets. Oh my God. They're burning up dogs.

All right, fun facts about, even more fun than that dog fact, fun facts about people that was in this episode. That's not so interesting. I sometimes, okay, most of these are, all right, well the white buffalo woman slash Ruth Halverson, Annalisa, she, on her resume, she played four Helgas, three Sigrid's, one Brunhilde, one Greta and

one Ingrid. And she also played Ava Braun in a movie called The Search for the Evil One, in which a team of, let me see if I can find this photo, a team of agents, they go to South America in search of old Adolf Hitler. Oh, when was that made? It was uh, 66 I think. And the guy that played Hitler is a guy named Pitt Herbert. And this is his photo on his IMDB page. And I just hope that that's a still from the moment that they found Hitler in that movie. You'll have to. Surprise! Surprise! He sure looks surprised. Like, oh no! I'm just Hitler minding my own business at work.

But anyways, she was in that and she had a long life. And then we got Hal John Norman. He played Chief Chateau, who was maybe the chief or maybe the shaman. Unclear in this episode. He lost his right leg in a train accident and he learned how to walk with a prosthesis with no detectable limb. Did you detect a limb? No sir. I did not detect a limb. Although it was okay if it was there. He lived to almost a hundred, a one month shy of his hundredth birthday, but he only worked until 80, coward. Then we got Victor Milan played Daco and he was the Dean of the theater arts

department at Santa Monica college and played a small part in Scarface. And we got Victor Milan played Daco and he was the dean of the theater arts department at Santa Monica college and played a small part in Scarface. Which Scarface? Old Al Pacino. Brian De Palma? Which part did he play? Ariel Blyer. He's the secretary of the interior or something like that. I didn't know. Yeah. Okay. So, okay. And then we got Maurice Yara.

The composer? Oh, wait. J-A-R-R-E? No, J-A-R-A. Oh, forget it. Latino actor and singer, AKA Mauricio. He played Dr. Guerra in Giant, and years later he remembered, he said,

"'I used to go out rabbit hunting with James Dean. "'He was a nice kid. James Dean used to get up to all kinds of things. Yeah, sounds like it. Riding motorcycles with Earth a kid. We learned that a while ago. Wow. And rabbit hunting with Mauricio.

And then finally, I want to tell you about Henry Willis played McGregor. He's one of the trappers in the very beginning of this episode. He was Pernell Robert Stunt double. He is a Golden Boot award winning stunt man. And he specialized in horse falls, which he did in this episode.

He fell off his horse after getting shot with an arrow. He's estimated to have done over 1400 horse falls in his career, as well as transfers from horses to wagons and stage coaches and something called bulldogging, which is jumping off his horse to take down a rider on another horse. These are all his special things. Anyway, all he did in this episode was fall off a horse.

Still. Yeah. All right, that's all the information I can find about people in this episode. It wasn't a ton of information available about these strange people, but that's all right. It wasn't a big cast this time. Well, there's a lot of, there's quite a few native peoples played by not native peoples. Which is

something that Adam Oepkart right fought against. Oh, Pernell Roberts did? Pernell Roberts did. Is that right? He fought against it and he walked in the Selma, Alabama marches. Really? And I'd like to just acknowledge that as an actor, he gives a tour de force performance that really sets in history his belief that he was a great actor, but that he actually wasn't very good. You know, like the yin-yang.

Now, Pernell Roberts famously believed that his talents were much greater than this show and that he was able to demonstrate on this show. And this episode truly, this is all about Adam. And he really goes through lots of different things. But he seems to have the same facial expression. And this is something that he said that I thought, it's something I've thought when I've watched Bonanza,

but to hear it said by him, he said, quote, They told me the four characters would be carefully defined and scripts carefully prepared. None of it ever happened. What are you talking about? We put three brads in the three hole punch of each script. All the papers are lined up. There's no typos. This is a carefully planned script. That guy's nuts. He's crazy. Well, and I think he doesn't, he's not taking any responsibility for his own part in, in, in Bonanza, which is wonderful, as it represents just the folly that we have our our view of ourselves, but then the reality of what's actually happening.

Oh, I often think I'm the best. But then I got, we did a physical for the clown college, just a test of strengths, and I got a 300 out of 600 possible points. Hey, that's halfway there. Well, that's glass, that's body half useful. I didn't make it up the wall, and then I couldn't do any pull-ups. And then when they asked me to smash a watermelon, I got scared. You got scared?

Yeah, it just seemed like a head. Oh, yeah. Uh-huh. Did they put a face on it or anything like that? Well, might as well have been. Yeah, I hear you. It's a little scary. My father had a very large it or anything like that? Well, it might as well have been. Yeah, yeah. I hear you. It's a little scary. My father had a very large head.

Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Okay, yeah. That's gonna be the sure. Gosh, I sure wish you well in this endeavor. I'm a little concerned, but I do wish you well. Yeah. All right.

Well, shall we get into this episode? Let's recap a real, let's do it, man, cause it's a good one. Got a mortgage? Chances are you're thinking about your payments right now. Need help? Ask your bank about relief measures that may be available to you.

Learn more at Canada.ca slash it pays to know. A message from the government of Canada. We got two white guys in the beginning of this episode. They're a couple of trappers and they want, they come upon a burial ground, a native burial ground, and they know they shouldn't go past the two spears or pig stickers as they call them that marks the territory. But they say this is the best fur trapping country west of the Missouri. So they go in and sure enough, boy, they both get killed with arrows, don't they? And then we hear, then along comes the shaman

and he says, hey man, what we're doing here is we're seeking out the white buffalo woman, the spirit of the white buffalo woman. Which there is a buffalo woman in native culture, that there was a buffalo woman, but she was made of it, she was not white. Right, but she also, I believe there is a story of the Lakota tribe, which is not the Shoshone tribe.

So they just, you know, but that's fine. Bonanza said, hey, one of these tribes has some story, we'll just move it to a different tribe in a different part of the country. And make, we'll just move it to a different tribe in a different part of the country. And make it white. Yeah, make it a white person, that's fine. I don't have a problem with that.

So, but the chief slash Shaman, he says, here's what we're gonna do, he says, we gotta seek out the spirit of the white buffalo woman's son, he says to one of his sons, you're gonna go find her. And then the other kid says, if my brother's gone, I'm going too. And then the Shaman says, you understand,

you will die in the effort to bring her back. You will not come back alive. And he says, yes, father, this fella just sends both of his sons off to a certain death, doesn't he? Yeah. It does seem a little lackluster in his goodbye. A little bit. And by the way, he didn't mention it to the first son.

He said, son, I want you to go seek out the white puffer woman. Then the other one says, I'm going too. He says, you understand you're gonna die on the way. Like the first son. I kinda like you. I mean, let's read between the lines. I'm letting this kid go for a reason.

If I was the first son, I would have said, hey, you didn't mention that to me. But I'm not the first son. It's always good to know when you're not the favorite. That's true. It's good to know as a final word from your father too. Now we get, oh, I believe this was a new establishing shot of the Ponderosa Ranch, by the way.

I don't believe I've seen it shot like through the trees like that, looking like an illustration. And we got, now this man, was this a scene? Paul and Adam are yelling at each other like you've never heard before. I had never seen that much passion illustrated between any of the characters. I thought that was gonna kiss.

And sure enough, what could they be fighting about? It'd have to be windmills. They're so, they're going at each other about windmills. Don't get me started on windmills. Nothing can get me so riled up but windmills. They're so, they're going at each other about windmills. Don't get me started on windmills. Nothing can get me so riled up but windmills. A storyline that is dropped almost immediately. Oh, right. There's a lot of information about windmills. Never comes back. Never does. We even learned that the inventor of the windmill is Ira Fairbanks. And that's,

Adam wants to go see Ira Fairbanks' windmill. Is this true? And was windmills not created years and years? I mean, how does Don Quixote exist? Why does Pa doubt that a windmill is a possible invention? And they're from Europe where they successfully have helped and run, assisted in farming for centuries. Believe it or not, I never did type Ira Fairbanks windmill

into a Google search and find out more information about this, but so maybe I will for the bonus episode. I don't know, but anyway, Adam is hell bent on getting a look at Mr. Fairbanks windmill. And Paul says it's crazy. He doesn't want anything to do with these fangled windmills. And he even says to Adam, this is a great quote, he says, I don't have anything against education

as long as it doesn't interfere with your thinking. Put that on a pillow. I mean, is that Oscar Wilde that I'm hearing? What is going on here? That's gonna be at Sturgis next year. Put that on a leather vest and I'll wear it. Man, oh man. But in the end, Adam prevails and he is gonna go check out that windmill.

And so he takes off and as he rides, he of course also comes upon the two spears that mark off the burial ground. Now, I don't know, it's strange. They've never, this has never been a problem before. Wherever they wanted to go, they never ran into this burial ground. But now it's happening.

But, and Adam rides through, he drapes the reins of his horse over a bush, just kind of drapes it over a bush. And then this, when he sees one of the shaman's sons hailing to a white woman saying, come here, I need you, come here. And then he grabs hold of the white woman and says, Hey, you ain't no spirit, you're just a regular woman. Right? And he thinks she's the spirit of the buffalo, white buffalo woman.

Well, now he attacks her because he realizes you've been duping us all this time, you ain't no spirit, you're a regular woman. But Adam has been watching this whole time and he shoots the man dead, doesn't he? Because he thinks he's harassing her, but it's clear that she's going to be fine. My favorite part was when he shoots that fella and then wants to go down to sea

and decides he's going to jump off the rocks. But then decides, well, no, that's too far. I better go back the other way. Do you remember that little moment? Adam did that? Yeah, he shoots him and he's like boom and he goes... I really felt like the actor made the choice and not the character. I think he had a lot of say in this episode because it was about the part of his his quibbles have been that the series says that Pa is infantilizing the sons. And so he's finally fighting against Pa and going to leave off with this native woman

but who is not a native woman. No, no, it's wonderful. And then, yeah, so it seems like he's had a hand in the episode. Yes, I think so. seems like he's had a hand in the episode. Yes, I think so. It wasn't technically directed by him, but it feels like it might as well have been. He's calling the shots all the way through. It's pernell time.

Well, so now the second of the shaman's sons arrows Adam in the leg and Adam kills him. So just as the shaman prophesied, both of his sons have died in the effort to bring the white buffalo woman back to their encampment. Poor Adam, he falls, now he falls. He falls that distance he didn't wanna jump and he gets ketchup on his face and he asks Ruth for help and she runs off. But then she does come back and she puts him on a stretcher

and she says mockingly, the great white warrior. So you get some idea of her attitude. And then we go back to her camp, which couldn't be covered in more furs. You couldn't get more furs in that camp. It is fur everywhere. So she is, what do we learn about her? Oh yeah, he finds her diary. No, he finds her Bible, which, he finds her Bible which doubles as a

diary. This is, it's a good idea. If you don't want to tell somebody your life story, put it in a book that's easy to find. Just hope that somebody will come along and read aloud from it. If you were God, the Bible doubles your diary and you wouldn't even need to write the diary. Good point. Yeah. Yeah. I thought for a while I was going to write the Bible as a blog, just do like a rewrite, but as a Bible as a blog, from the point of view of a 53-year-old woman, but from the beginning, you know, just say it. And then, You know, just say, and, and then, you know, God made it, just putting it in a colloquial so everyone could understand. Like Carrie Bradshaw.

Like Carrie Bradshaw, Sex in the City. Okay. You know, Bible, Bible, Bible in straight talk. Yeah. God could be called Mr. Big. Oh yeah. You could call it Big Gat in the Oh yeah, you could call it bigat in the city. Bigat, bigat in the city. Or knowing in the city.

What? Knowing in the city, known in the city, cause like to know someone. Oh I see. To know them in the biblical cities. Touching feet in the city. Oh yeah, laying with in the city. Laying with in the city, I like that too, that with in the city. Laying with in the city.

I like that too, that's good. Well, all right, but you're not gonna do that? You see you was gonna do that. No, I was, but I've got a study for clown college. All right, okay, all right. There's a lot going on. There's a lot going on, yep. Well, all right, so now Adam understands everything

there is to know about this woman, basically, at this point. She's all alone, a white woman, all alone. And she's living on top of dead mountains. Isn't that what they call it? Dead mountain? I think so. And it's a burial, it's a sacred burial ground site. And she, how could a white woman live on an ancient burial site?

Well, she's been passing herself off as a mythical spirit. And so all the Shoshone are terrified of her. But now it seems that there's some troubles in the Shoshone tribe and they need the help of a powerful magical person. And so that's now she's got problems because they want to bring her back and she don't want to go because she knows she ain't real.

She's just person. She's just a person. And that one fella figured it out. But luckily, Adam shot him. She's just a person who's able to fella figured it out, but luckily Adam shot him. She's just a person who's able to have her hair done on a regular basis. Oh, yes. I believe that was a wig, don't you think?

That was a very big wig. She's out there on the frontier, trapping and skinning animals and tending to a wig. Mostly, it seems like her work. But now Adam tells her, you belong with your own people. He says that to her many times. He's very, very serious about that.

We all belong with our own people. Even though she clearly was very close friends with the people who are local. The Bannocks. She got along nicely with the Bannocks until the white people killed all the people. Killed. The Bannocks, she got along nicely with the Bannocks until the white people killed all the Bannocks. So she's not a big fan of the white people. She'd like, if she had her druthers,

she'd be hanging out with all them Bannocks. Somehow I guess you can't find any of them anymore. They all died. They all were killed. So now what do we got here? The shaman has been told his sons are dead. He says, well, okay, I'll go. I don't know why he didn't go in the first place,

but he says, I'll go to the mountain of the dead and I will do what they could not. And then three other guys say, yeah, we'll come with you. Now there's a long scene of Adam hobbling around the campsite. Oh, boy. Yes, and I thought that was definitely probably the actor's choice and desire and vision. yes. I think you're right he took over this episode kind of like

how The Weeknd has taken over the idol if you're following that story. Oh I have not seen that. Oh it's really despicable and very fun to watch but the he's a showrunner and he has taken over the production. He is Bananas, I've heard. You mean the American Idol? No, no, sorry. The Idol, it's an HBO show. I ain't never seen it. Very unlike Bananas.

Okay, all right, well I guess I'll skip it. But it was on and then The Weeknd came onto it and said, now it's all about me? He was a co-showrunner and creator and an actor in it, and then he fired the female director and said this show has become too much focused on the feminine character it needs to be more about me the supporting character and then they reshot something like 80% of it. I heard he's not pleasant. No he is not pleasant, talented. What name a positive attribute?

And I will tell you that he is not that. Ah, jejeune. He's got no jejeune. Cleanliness. No, it's very greasy, this fella. He's got a rat tail. Oh, I don't like that. Avuncular.

Not avuncular, in the slightest, not even nephew-uncular. Industriousness. And, uh, he's cult leader. Oh, okay. Yeah, okay. Anyway, I didn't mean to be rude. Leadership skills. All right. Fee on killer industriousness. And he's called cult leader. Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay. Anyway, I didn't mean leadership skills. All right. Sounds like there's well, uh, then there's a boy. Is there a comical scene where I tell you Adam thinks that she's a skinny dipping because she's got clothes hung up on the tree and she's down by the

water and he's just too much of a gentleman to even look at her. Even though we can see she's fully clothed. She was just doing her laundry fully clothed. Oh man, isn't it funny? But it tells you, it starts up the sexual tension, doesn't it? That's it. Oh, certainly. There's the loins. You can sometimes see on bonanza a colorization of the loin area. It flickers. It's flush. Interesting.

Flush with blood. You know the woman's just about to die. Yeah. Boy, I kept waiting for this woman to die. Spoiler alert, it doesn't happen. Quiet. But anyway, back at the Ponderosa, Adam's horse has returned without him. So of course, all

three of the regular, the other cart rides head off to find him because that's very concerning. What do you mean your horse came back without you? And, and then, but look, turns out Adam is just as happy as can be. He's shirtless and wearing a headband. He sure looks like a native American man now at this point. He's got no shirt on. It's not a headband, but it's a bandage on his, on his ketchup injury and he's shaving and now they're getting along just great. And it's a real domestic scene. These two seem to be settling in just fine. You'd think he's about to go carve himself a wedding ring, a real thick wedding ring. Yeah. It's called in therapy circles, playing house. It's when you have an addictive love relationship where you

just jump on into chores and you don't even talk about your personalities or your likes and dislikes and suddenly I'm in love with you but we haven't necessarily spent any time together. That sounds great. But man you think about all these couples wasting time getting to know each other. Dive right into what it's going to be like. That's right. Wow. I like that. Playing house. So now next scene, he's still shirtless, but he's put on his vest and he's fixing things up and he strokes her wig and says, why are you afraid of me? And then she walks away from him and he goes, you forgot this. And it's a dildo.

Now I took a screenshot of it. I mean, that is a front here dildo. It couldn't be anything else. Unmistakably, what does he say it is? What does he say it is? Her knife, I guess. Oh, but it does. It does, well, it's also the hilt of something else.

Yeah. And when you look at Adam here in this black leather vest headband and nothing else, I feel like I'm watching Al Pacino in Cruising. Oh, regarding that phallus in his hand? Just the whole thing has got a real kind of leather bar look to it. Yeah. I mean, Adam has brought a new touch to Bonanza that we had heretofore not. This episode is just stimulating everyone in the audience in one way or another.

Certainly, certainly. Yep. So anyway, that's the very exciting. I mean, the sexual tension couldn't be higher at this point when he hands her this penis. And then we got the shaman and he says, uh, Oh, blah, blah, blah, whatever. That's not important. Now.

We were on a 36 hour camp, um, as clowns in the woods. And I got to tell you, some of the clowns paired off. And it was against the rules, but some people, that's what the natural environment will do to you. People falling into bushes and kissing up against trees and things like that, even though what we're supposed to be doing is creating ditches and heaving barriers up so we don't get shot at.

Well, but now why does a clown need to be able to survive 36 hours in the wilderness? I'm confused. No, you just do what they tell you to do. It's clown college. It's clown college. It's clown college. I'm sorry. Why am I asking stupid questions? Yeah, yeah.

All right. Well, you can't stop clowns from paring off in the bushes. I guess that's going to happen. Life finds a way. Life finds a way. I can't stop clowns from fucking. That's one thing I know. These two clowns, they said they didn't go off, but then they came back and their makeup

was all weird against each other. It was like a kaleidoscope of mixing of makeups. Oh, brother. Imagine what their genital clown makeup looked like. Oh my God. We didn't wash for a couple of days, but we got in the showers together. Some of the ladies had some funny paintings on their bottoms.

I'll say, you know how I seen one time, I was walking near the train tracks and there was like a copse of trees and I found an old pornographic magazine and it was for clowns. Oh, it was? Yeah. And you know how there's that popular hobo clown that has the like dark unshaven lips with the, yeah. Well, it was a woman and that makeup was down below. Oh, I see.

That was a real harrowing sight. It didn't make me laugh. Right. Well, it's a confusing feeling, a combination of laughter and frisson. Yeah. Plenty of frisson. My goodness. All right. feeling a combination of laughter and free song. Yeah, plenty of free song. My goodness, all right. The amount of stuff I never knew about clowns is vast.

Now we got this beautiful scene where Ruth reads from the Bible to Adam, but no need. Adam has it memorized. He's got that whole book. The whole damn Bible memorized turns out. Well, cause he used to do real theater. Yeah, that's right. Bible theater. And now again, he says, you need to be with people of your own kind. And he says, if you come back with me,

there'll be music and books and laughter and company, but mostly more white people. He makes clear to her. But, uh, and then she tells the true story of what happened. She stabbed a fella and ran away. I don't know but now What here comes the shaman and his boys, right? They have the yeah, okay, and he says alright Here's what we're gonna do. I think he sees him from afar. He says here's the plan You know what? She's got a weakness now. She's fallen for a man. And so he says we'll use it against her We're gonna to capture Adam

and we're going to say, either you come back with us and heal us with your magical powers, white buffalo woman, or we will kill this person that you've come to love. Isn't that what? Yeah, that's the plan. The dildo holding man. Yeah. And then we're back out by the lake. And this is where Adam, he's so happy. He compares himself to the original man in the Garden of Eden Adam and he's he has fashioned an engagement ring out of what did you think was but would or I looked like what to me. Yeah, I think gonna last he's carved up an engagement ring and it was this Sison It didn't look unlike a cock ring. That's true.

I know it pains you to observe it. Yes. But yeah, you're right. It did not look unlike a cock ring. So he's got a dildo and a cock ring so far. We're only two thirds of the way through this episode. I was on pins and needles to see what was coming next. Man, no kidding. Boy, oh boy.

Well, anyway, of course she says yes. He says, you're gonna love, honor and obey me. I like that last word. And she says, oh, I'm not so sure about that last word. These two are fucked. It's fine, but he's serious as a heart attack. No fucking around, she's gonna obey. But she runs off, she's so happy.

This is it, nobody's ever been this happy in the whole history of the world. Yeah, I'm so invested. I sure hope this episode doesn't have a really abrupt ending. Oh yes, well, I was keeping my eye on the time of the episode as it was going, and at this point I was like, uh-oh.

Now, along comes Shoshone's, and they execute their plan to kidnap Adam. By the way, well, I didn't make it, but he kills one of the Shoshone in a fairly homoerotic stabbing maneuver from behind. Yeah, it's like he took the dildo knife and used it from behind. It did seem that way. Anyway, he gets knocked unconscious and Ruth comes back and she finds the dead one. And then the cartwrights are riding hard to find their Adam and then they meet up and there's no sign of Adam and oh, they do find some dead, they find the dead trappers and

they take, I mean, they're urgently trying to find their boy, they do find some dead, they find the dead trappers and they take, I mean, they're urgently trying to find their boy, but they take some time to bury these trappers and say a nice Christian prayer over the burial. And then Shaman and the men, Ruth comes and scolds the Shaman. They cut Adam loose and she agrees to go with them. Okay. She, she says, all right, I get it. Set Adam free and I will come with you and do my best as a magical mythical person to heal your people.

Even though she knows this crazy because I'm just a regular person and they, but then they knock Adam unconscious and they lay him out back at her, uh, fur covered campsite, which is where the cart, right? The other three cartwrights find him. And he explains to them so many things happen in this thing. He says, there's a white woman who lives here all by herself. And they say, you're crazy. You must have a fever.

And he says, go look, go receive for yourself in her Bible. And they go and they get the Bible and they confirm the story and they find the engagement ring in the Bible. And everyone's just visibly grateful that Adam finally got to have his own episode. Yeah, that's true. And she couldn't stop complaining. Big grudging.

But, but Paul says, well, she left the engagement ring. She left on her own accord, son. He does. He says that. And then Adam says, well, no, she's a blah, blah. He explains the whole story. He says, we got to go get her. And all three of them agree.

No, it's best for her to just leave her down. We wouldn't wish you on her son. And that is no clown lift behind. We always do not split up the party. We always go together. You, I learned how to carry a clown's body and we just used dummies, but over 12 to 14 miles. Just to know that if you are ever in a parade and your fellow clown falls, you do not leave them. Absolutely. In a parade that might happen. That could happen.

It's 114 degrees. Oh yeah, sometimes. Yeah. July 4th. And if you don't have a summer wait costume. The thousand clown march, there's the baton clown march, there's all kinds of these. I remember that. Sometimes, what if you graduated and you decided to get into mascot work and you're a pickle. You're Gedney the Minnesota Pickle. It's 114 degrees on the outside. It's 135 on the inside. And teenagers are chasing you and saying, oh, you're a pickle. Can I have a bite? Man, oh man, I never thought how hard it is out there for a clown or a pickle. Yeah. Son of a bitch. All right, well, they didn't honor that pledge

of never leave a person behind because they just all say, look, the best we can do for her is to leave her down there with these native peoples who believe that she has magical abilities and are gonna find out sooner or later that she doesn't. That's the best we can do for her. It feels like there's a last act to this and rather than edit it all down into one hour,

they just edit it and when they got to an hour said, well, that's the end of the episode. Yeah, Adam was saying, this is the love of my life. We are engaged to be married. I must go get her. But then the other said, no, I don't think he should. And he says, well, all right. And then they kind of say, well, maybe someday you'll see her again. But I looked, that character never come back. When I was learning to juggle, One of the first things they taught us at Clown College was you've got to accept that sometimes you drop them.

You drop all the balls. And so our first, I don't know, two days was just repetitive dropping of all the balls. We just let them go no matter how bad it felt, how embarrassing it was. You just kept, you try but then try also to drop them all and once you get used to dropping them you know it's okay to fail. That's beautiful. Yeah. Yeah. So the way that you see Adam slumped over his horse all bandaged up and heartbroken at the end of that, that's the way it sometimes has to be.

That's the way being given to see I still have the knife from his girlfriend. I don't think so. I think that was left somewhere. Yeah. Anyways, been cut off by his father and he's a eunuch left at the ranch. And you know, that's okay. That's okay.

Yeah, that's a perfectly happy ending. Well, sadly, there's only 387 episodes left to go with this show and even more sadly, we're going to get through them without old Milky here. Milky the Clown helping us through, maybe we'll get some dispatches from you. I do hope you'll write us some letters from time to time. Let us know what you're up to.

I will write you. As soon as I get to the airport, we're taking a bus. We're taking the Van Nuys bus. Well, we're taking two dash buses, and then we're getting on the Van Nuys flyway down to take a Spirit Airlines flight all the way to Tokyo. Spirit goes to Tokyo now.

It sure does. I don't know about that. Well, it's it's clown college sanctioned and we're all on the same flight. So it's going to be pretty fun. Oh, my God. Can you imagine being on an airplane full of clowns? And is it like a clown car where they'll put in about a thousand clowns into this plane? That's exactly right and you have to put it you have but we all have luggage and it's hilarious because it all adds up all over the place busting and it's it's gonna be a really good when, except when it's not. Yeah. There'll be hard times too.

We're going to miss you like crazy. I appreciate it. And I'm going to learn things like rope skills and how to throw a grenade. Brother, I don't know about this, but you seem sure about it. So all I can say is Godspeed, good luck to you. And thank you for all that you've done, all your service to Bonanza. Thank you. Thank you, Bonanza.
