Starting point is 00:02:50 It's the first goddamn bananas of the New Year's 2025. Man, oh man, can you believe we've come as far we're living in a future year 2025 that just sounds fictiony it doesn't sound real but most importantly before we talk about anything I was going to say this might be one of the episodes this might be the first time that we never
Starting point is 00:03:10 get to talking about the episode itself because there's so many parts of pieces of business the first one is you got a new hat tell us about it but well I went and did it I went into the heart of the most unholy land of Hollywood and went to Hollywood Hatters
Starting point is 00:03:25 Hollywood Hatters and Hollywood Hatter's And Hollywood Hatters is a store that exists on Melrose, and it's got hats just falling off the walls. And so he took a hat off the wall, and then he steamed it and stretched it to my very own head. Beautiful. How did the hat smell? It smelled like vetiver and dust. Oh, boy. Well, it's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Can you tell us anything about the style of your hat? Well, let's see. It's a Scala handmade since 1981. I believe it's an Italian cowboy hat. Don't hate me for it. but they do spaghetti western, so I know. I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:04:03 I mean, what are you going to get when you go into Hollywood for a hat? It's true. Yeah, that's true. I take a private plane to Montana to get my hats. All right, folks, what are we going to do? You take a private plane? What? That's worse than an Italian hat.
Starting point is 00:04:17 I have a benefactor in Montana. Who's always happy to fly me to Montana on his private jet on one of my hat shopping trips? That's all. All right. I am one of the hosts of the foremost podcasts on Bonanza. You don't think I can get on a private plane? All right, folks, I am joined as often I am these days by my niece, Marky, who is being reparented and re-schooled in our home.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Hello, Marky. Hey. Why would you even look at us in the eye? Well, I'm on my phone. Put the phone down, please. Fine. I'm just like, I really didn't think that my parents were going to do this to me in 2025. Send me here again.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Yeah. You were allowed to go home and see your parents for the holidays. How were you in the holidays? They were fine. They were good, better than here. Come on now. What? It's nothing.
Starting point is 00:05:12 I filled your stocking full of jerky, didn't I not? Yeah, jerky and coal. Yeah, I did give you some coal as well, which has a value, a street value, coal does. You can put that on eBay. See what you can get for a lump of coal. You train, that means something. Sure it does. Well, and then at the end of the holiday season, did you...
Starting point is 00:05:32 I got in trouble. What did you do this time? God damn it, Marky! I nachoed one of my teachers. You what? I'm notchowed one of my teachers. What does that even mean? It's when somebody crouches down behind somebody else and you push them over.
Starting point is 00:05:47 You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, we used to do that as a kid, but it never had a name. Yeah, it's called nachoing. Why is it called notchowing? I don't know. What? Nacho sounds like a sexual position, you know? Well, it is. Oh, okay, so that's how it gets its name.
Starting point is 00:06:02 I don't understand. One person is crouching down. Yeah. Like their knees is bent. They're going into a squat. Yeah, they're on all fours. Oh, they're on all fours. Oh, they're on all fours.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Not to get all sexual on here, but they're on all fours. And that's what you meant by sexual position. Yeah, exactly. And then you push someone over. It's a threesome position, obviously. Oh, I see. The person on all fours is a confederate. Of the pusher.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Yes. Get it now. And the target was, in this case, a teacher. Yeah. Why'd you do that? Because we're really casual with our teachers. We call her Ms. Julie, call her by her first name. So I thought we were friends.
Starting point is 00:06:37 So I pushed her over. I did that to my friend Eric Bilsman Jr. High, and we got in a fight and sent to the principal's office. But while we were waiting to go in, he proposed an college branch and just says, we can work this out, right? We don't have to go in. And I said, you're smart. You're right. And the principal came out. We've worked it out.
Starting point is 00:06:54 And he said, great. Isn't that a touching story? I'm sorry, I blacked out. Are you talking? I was telling you story about Eric Bill's. It was so boring. It was like watching Bonanza. Oh, now.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Okay. You've seen this episode we're talking about today. I'll go ahead and tell the folks. We're talking about season three episode four of The Lonely House, and we have a very exciting guess I'm going to get to right now. But you watch this episode with us. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:19 And it is great for female, for women to learn. and how to be treated by men and the kind of guys they should go after. Are you being serious or are you doing, are you doing irony? I'm doing irony. What? Everything's ironic. I thought you was being serious because I agree with you.
Starting point is 00:07:36 It's the first time I've agreed with you the wrong tag. I was really torn because obviously ACAB, so I didn't want the cops to win. But at the same time. Wait, now, are you being ironic? I can't follow. No. We'll get into it, I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:07:50 I don't want to know what everything. Have a cab by Genesis? What? It's a song by the band Genesis? The band? There's a band called Genesis. Yeah. With Phil Collins.
Starting point is 00:07:59 I primarily know it as a book of the Bible, but I suppose it is a band as well. I'll stop asking about your little words that I don't understand, ACAB. There's another really old guy here. I know. We're going to meet him right now, folks. I think this might be the oldest fella we've ever had on the show. I hope you take that as a point of pride, my friend. 99.
Starting point is 00:08:20 What? 99 years. Ninety-nine years old. Thank you for your service, sir. Thank you for calling my landline. Yeah, it's a pleasure. Pleasure. Yeah, we got a hold of you.
Starting point is 00:08:32 You picked up on, I think it was the 18th ring. We nearly gave up. Yeah. But we heard about you, and we thought you'd be a perfect addition to particularly discuss this episode. Your name is Garrett. Tell me again, your last name, Garrett. Saratella. Garrett Saratilla.
Starting point is 00:08:47 And Garrett Saratilla, in addition to being 99 years, Do you prefer to think of yourself as 99 years old or 99 years young? 99 years young. Okay, good. That's a good way to look at it. Is there a name Italian? My father was Italian. Thank you for your service.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Oh, yeah, his name was Italian. Okay, yeah. Well, we can't hold that against you, I don't think. Is that am I the first Italian on the show? I'll get a good question. Probably, I'm not a fan of Europe as a concept. You know what I mean? You ever been to Europe?
Starting point is 00:09:23 I fought in First World War. Get out of here. Wow. Holy crap. Came back, robbed banks for two years, and then did four years, and then I became a consultant for bank robbering. That's what we want. That's why we called him for this episode. Ninety-nine years old and fought in the war from 1914 to 17.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Nine years old, I told him I was 16. Oh, my God. Back then, I had a mustache. Italians get moustaches. Yeah, of course they do. You can't hardly keep a mustache off. an Italian. I'll tell you what. And God bless them for it. See, they have some
Starting point is 00:09:55 redeeming qualities. Hats and mustache. You guys can't talk like this about Italian. Why not? Why? You're going to get canceled. But we're complimenting them. They don't mind. All right. So Garrett, that's why we brought you on here, Garrett. Now, okay, this episode of Bonanza deals. I want to say my stocking, you talked about stockings.
Starting point is 00:10:14 I got coal, but we also got oranges. This was when you was a boy. When I was a Christmas time. Oranges. And then usually some. wind up some kind of wind up toys

Starting point is 00:11:28 This is, then you guys don't feel like I need to, like, be a part of the conversation. No, no. You need to be a part of the conversation. You watch the episode. All four of us are watch this episode, Bernan, and we're going to talk about it. Wait, wait, when you're almost as old as me. Well, I don't. Okay, fine.
Starting point is 00:11:44 I'll accept the premise. When we had a guest, the youngest person was burdened with doing some sort of parlor trick. Like, go on, Susie, show them your, read your poem or show them your foot shuffles. Susie, show them your. Juggle that, juggle the Christmas oranges. Yeah, sure. So I feel like maybe I'm the guest, parlor trick.
Starting point is 00:12:11 That's a beautiful tradition. You had somebody over and you say, let's bring out the young one. Bring out an orange. Yep. Or a trick. Hold on, I'll go get one. Wait, what are you guys talking about? You want me to jump.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Juggle an orange for you? I'm special to have company. Yeah, exactly. It doesn't have to be juggling oranges, but some kind of a... Here, look at here. What the hell? It's covered in mold. First of all...
Starting point is 00:12:35 No, I don't want to touch it. That's still an orange, even if it's mold. That is the most disgusting orange I've ever seen. It's realizing how long these oranges have been in here. It seems to me that refrigerating that orange didn't help. This is child abuse. Oh, shit. She's got a clipboard on the wall of everything she considers child abuse that happens in our home.
Starting point is 00:12:58 She writes it down there. It's not on a clipboard. It's on my phone. I don't know how many times I have to tell you. But there's a clipboard on the phone. Is that the truth? Yeah, it's a notes app. Oh, Christ.
Starting point is 00:13:09 I don't understand it. I don't either. It's crazy these phones, man. So you now, you was after your war time, you come back to the States and you repaid America by robbing her bank. I did prison time with Louis B. Mayor's nephew. Really? And when I came out, he said, come on out to Hollywood. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:13:32 They make shows maybe you could do something on them. Uh-huh. So I showed up, and next thing I know, there's like, we need a criminal to tell us how to do this here crime for this year show. I've heard of this before. So you became a consultant for the pictures because they just turned on. stories about crime and you've done some crimes. I did a lot of different crimes. Picking locks. Stealing pies? Stealing pies?
Starting point is 00:13:59 Stealing pies? Stealing pies. Sneaking in a stranger's room and going underneath his pillar and getting that keep they always have underneath. Sometimes you've got to stand there for 40 minutes. Waiting for them to fall asleep. And then you go inch by inch every minute you scoot
Starting point is 00:14:13 a little in deeper and you just got out of stealing nerve. Train hopping. Anybody ever wake up when you were doing that? Oh yeah. I got beat A couple times. Really? Pinkertons and Cowboys, sure. Now, is this a situation where you know for a fact there's a key under the pillow or you're just thinking there might be?
Starting point is 00:14:30 You stake them out. Oh, I see. You put a pin on them. Pin is you put wooden pins in the door and that way you know the cummings and goings. Oh, wow, sure. You tack a little piece of wood in the door. You come back an hour later. If the pins on the floor, that means somebody came and went.
Starting point is 00:14:43 That's an old George Smiley technique. Yeah, George Smiley. I don't know who that either. I don't know. I thinker Taylor Sultra Spy. You tell them. I don't know. You don't know.
Starting point is 00:14:54 It ain't Colorado or TikTok or Charlie X. Don't ask her. If you're stealing gems, you pop the stones and you ditch the settings. Oh, I'm sweet. You don't need to be holding on to that silver or brass or whatever was holding that gem. That's smart. You ever run into Dillinger when you were robbing banks around this time? Oh, John Dillinger, sure.
Starting point is 00:15:15 Oh, really? He was not friendly and he did not want to socialize. Oh, well, that's too bad. Offered to buy him a drink and he used the F word. Oh my. Oh my God. Wow, that sounds about that right. That's rude as head.
Starting point is 00:15:29 He put out of, yeah. Normally there was honor among thieves, but not with Dillinger. Okay. He was not friendly, but a lot of thieves would give you the shirt off their back. So what did he say? Fuck no? Hey, now. Fuck face.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Oh, now. Yeah, he said, fuck face. And then he, I will fuck you up. I'll fucking cut you. You don't, you have not earned any demerits. through your cursing, but she has Marky, you've earned a demerick. And you started it too.
Starting point is 00:15:56 He was gentlemanly enough to say the F word Tilly. I was quoting Dillinger. I was just trying to, look at all that cool information we just found out because I used the F word. I helped the podcast. Huh? I helped your podcast. Oh my God, dude.
Starting point is 00:16:11 You'd never help our podcast. All you do is make fun of it. People ask me, why do you put up with that dog? Well, he's finally coming out. Man, I get mad. This market makes me so mad. I like you better when you're angry. This is good.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Really? All right. Well, you're going to see more of it. You keep up this behavior. Oh, my God. All right. So now, this is my question for you. And I think the answer is yes.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Did you consult on this episode of Bonanza, which is a bank robbing episode? I did. You did? I did. Fantastic. This is a bank robbing episode. So you, how does it work?
Starting point is 00:16:45 So they know they're putting a bank robber in an episode. They want to get it right because Banan's, is all about getting all the details right well i think i don't remember every day i am 99 but i remember one day we're a paramount and i went in and they was just going to leave and i said you don't leave you crack that teller skull with a pistol you crack his skull so he don't remember nothing is that how you would do it and they was gonna just hist and run and the other thing is you keep two guys in the alley right and you when you're backing out you back out to the door you keep the gun pointed at the perpetrator and you back and then you did you notice in this episode they
Starting point is 00:17:26 pull the window shade I did notice that they weren't even going to do that you're kidding me so it was you who says when the first thing that does is when the bank robber gets in there put down them blinds every single blind after it's shot he takes time to say goodbye but then he slowly closes the door and he closes you always close the door behind you and you always back out of the room yeah wow so just details like that. Would it have been common in those days for a bank to have a backdoor that leads into an alley
Starting point is 00:17:56 that was unlocked? Well, this was a former gap. Oh, yeah. I assume you know it, but that wasn't a real bank. That was a set. That was inside a studio. That was not a real alley. Some of them horses was fake.
Starting point is 00:18:16 What? What? The horses was fake. Well, were they dogs or? Dumbies are robots. Robots. Robits. I think it'd be cheaper to get a real horse in there than to build a mechanical robot horse.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Why'd they do it? I agree with you somehow. That's say the amortized costs or something. God damn, Hollywood. You should just keep it out there. But you sometimes a bank would have an alley, but you always have two guys waiting out there. Okay. That's how you do it.
Starting point is 00:18:47 I always at banks, always had window shades. I remember that. Uh-huh. With those dainty little rings. I like them. Yeah. In this case, the two fellas in the alley are named Pooch and Gavin. I love them too.
Starting point is 00:19:00 What a duo. Pooch and Gavin. Oh, wait. This is what I say at the beginning of every episode of Bananas for Banana. Hello, friend. Come on in. The gate is open wide. Welcome to Bananas for Bananas.

This film also has a stacked cast starring Alison Williams, McKenna Grace, Dave Franco, Mason Fames, and so many more. Go see Regretting You Only in Theater's October 24th. The number one movie in the country was The Hustler. You ever see The Hustler? Sure I am. That's Paul Newman. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:57 I've tried to tell... I've had his salad dressing before. I know, but prior to that, as I've told you so many times, he was a movie star, a star of many movies. And I've had his pizza. Yeah, I know you've had his pizza. But he was a star of many wonderful movies, including the... a hustler. It's a pool hole movie with him and Jackie Gleason
Starting point is 00:21:14 where Paul Newman had to have a guy just like you, I guess, a pool expert come in and do Paul Newman's pool shots, but Jackie Gleason did his own. That's a man. That's a man. Yeah, he could play pool himself. That's right. I found a fun fact about
Starting point is 00:21:30 Jackie Gleason. You guys want to hear real classic bananas for bananas a fun fact. Sure. When he was 19 years old, his mother died of a neck carbuncle. That's funny, right? Carbuncle's like a cyst that fills up. Yeah, it's like a boil.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Yeah, it was more common back then. Yeah, she had an infected neck carbuncle. Come on now. That's funny. That's got to be the funniest way to die. I guess if it was on the butt, if you had a butt carbuncle, it'd be funny. Get infected or did it smother her it was so big? Did it become sent in?
Starting point is 00:22:07 No, it got infected. That part's a little bit sad because I guess Jackie. He Gleason as a 19-year-old tried to lance it. He did it. What? He, well, sometimes you had to be the doctor. Sometimes. There wasn't one around.
Starting point is 00:22:22 That part's not as funny. That it's your fault. Your mother died of a neck carbuncle, but the fact that she died of it is a, that's funny. So he tried to cut it off, like a wart or something? I guess so. I don't know. He lancet. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:35 Yeah. Open it and drain it and squeeze the puss out. I think that's funny. That's fun. And I like those videos on TikTok where you watch, like, Dr. Pimple Popper or whatever. I've heard a duck. It's just like pimples getting popped. I've heard of TikTok.
Starting point is 00:22:49 You have? I have. Wow. I'm surprised. Honestly, I could make a lot of money off of you if we do videos. People love like old guys doing dances and stuff. Are you a dancer, Gary? I can still dance.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Really? No, yeah. Jig, Charleston. This would be, are you, I suppose you're a retired man now, I spend. Yeah. Uh-huh. But this might be an interesting way for you to. Sure.
Starting point is 00:23:10 An interesting final chapter. Do you ever feel like you want to go back in for one more highest to that the action is the juice that it just may be one more? Like going and stop. A life of crime? I'm afraid of that they were not nice places back. I don't know how prisons are now, but I'm afraid to go there. They're nice, sir.
Starting point is 00:23:33 They wasn't nice. I don't know that they are actually. I think she might be pulling your leg. But on the other hand, you reference going in style, nobody would suspect a 99-year-old man. You know what I mean? I would maybe consult on a real crime, but I couldn't drive the car. I couldn't. No, nobody had hired 99-year-old man to be the getaway driver.
Starting point is 00:23:56 I couldn't shoot straight. My eyes are gone. But you won't have to shoot if you do it, right? You know. Just be standing by the door. You could shut it. But they got alarms and stuff now. They got digital lasers.
Starting point is 00:24:07 So in your day of robbing banks, there wasn't a lot of technology involved. You were robbing banks when it was really easy. What's that? You were robbing banks when it was really easy. Well, it wasn't easy. You need gumption. You had to have gumption, but it was easier, I suppose. These days, you literally have to choreograph a dance to the movement of the lasers and put on an iPod and dance between the lasers.
Starting point is 00:24:34 You have to do that. You know about that? tellers had always had guns too back then everybody who worked at that bank had a gun was it usually just one guy manager the greeter the teller yeah did you work with any partners did you have oh yeah yeah you do you do a job just like on this one you have two guys in the alley always one name pooch really I didn't know that weirdly enough yeah that's a detail you wrote in like getaway man safe man gun man pooch shade man another you always dismantle their guns by banging two guns together if you noticed that i saw that i saw that that was my note that was so you take somebody's rifle yeah and you want to dismantle it you use your pistol you just to bang it clank on it metal on metal and you don't do a crime unless you got a well nearby to throw them
Starting point is 00:25:31 guns in the well right right well within a half mile Yeah, that's where Little Joe's guns end up at the bottom of the wheel. That was me. You brought that in. You need a well here. Isn't every well just a pile of guns at some point that? There was in. Water would taste like lead.

Starting point is 00:26:44 All right. You could even eat them if they're that soft. Wow. The thing about having no fluoride in the water is that then you have to brush your teeth. I know. And that's going to be a problem. I don't care if it is a communist conspiracy. That's one good thing they did for us.
Starting point is 00:26:59 Yeah. Kept my teeth in my mouth. That's right. You can't brush your teeth on the range. hell no sir no you cannot all right the number one country song was tender years by george jones we already talked about that but the number one song in the country has hit the road jack by ray charles this was written by a guy named percy mayfield who is one of two people in this episode we will talk about no he's not in the episode but in this episode bananas for bananas we will talk about two people whose careers were derailed by a disfiguring car accident what it's true percy mayfield was an entertainment who had a car crash and he was pronounced dead at the scene that got to fire that guy whoever said he's dead you know what i mean this is what happened no car accident somebody responded to the scene and said well this man's dead but he wasn't if you're the guy that said this man's dead
Starting point is 00:27:49 fire that paramedic fire him but it's a long time ago what he declared him dead before the feller was dead yes right did he die much later much much later he was took into the hospital and they did their best to put his face back together. But he was done as a performer, was Percy Mayfield. But then he wrote, hit the road, Jack. And Ray Charles signed him on to be his private songwriter. Wow, that is nice. It was a pretty good job.
Starting point is 00:28:15 So this is when he came back from the dead. That's right. The back half of his career. Yep, that's right. Wow. Maybe he did come back from the dead, and he was in heaven, and suddenly he's getting all kinds of money from Ray Charles. Oh, you think, no, but we know about him.
Starting point is 00:28:29 I think he didn't. Maybe we're in heaven. Okay, we could be in heaven And so is Percy Mayfield I'm very happy This feels like hell What? No

Starting point is 00:29:02 Yeah, about this episode. But there's only the one woman in it. Yeah. You better have proportionally as much to say about the men based on how many there are in this episode. Anyway, the Shantels released an answer song to hit the road, Jack. My God. And called Will I Told You in which the woman apologizes and asks him to please come back. And he says, no.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Is that like a rap battle? Oh, you know about these rap battles. Yeah. Yeah, I've heard of that. People release a song and then you come at them with your song. This was a very popular thing to do in the 60s. You'd record a song and it would be a hit and somebody else would record a song from the point of view of the person being addressed in the original song and they would say, why, yes, I do love you. You know what I made?
Starting point is 00:29:56 I remember Madonna had the first word. Madonna had that song And then Danny Iello wrote a commentary That's exactly right That's just what it is Do you remember that They're damn mark
Starting point is 00:30:08 You don't need now They don't make it anymore That Danny IEllo was a real talent He was Italian Uh huh Madonna Italian Okay all right
Starting point is 00:30:23 I'm starting to come around Subway sandwiches It Italian Uh huh What about Jimmy John's? Those are heroes or hoaxies. Got it, okay. Also on this date, October 15th, 1961
Starting point is 00:30:37 was the first time that a jet aircraft disappeared into the Bermuda Triangle. Wow. Celebrity birthdays on this day, we've got a big one. Vietchislav Bhutasov, Russian singer-songwriter. Russian singer-songwriter. He did that answer song,
Starting point is 00:30:54 you're as glossy as does me. He's from the band Nautilus, Palmilius, as you know. You're literally sitting gibberish. No, I'm not. He was born on October 15th, 1961. We always do a celebrity birthday. Time to get into fun facts from this episode.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Man, oh man, this is another episode directed by William Whitney, who is Quentin Tarantino's favorite director, a guy who invented action sequences and movies. And, man, you can see it in this episode. Can you not? When that stable brawl, That's a damn fine one.
Starting point is 00:31:27 William Whitney brought all of his talents to bear. Okay, here's my problem. I have a problem. I went too deep on the writer of this episode. Sometimes I go too deep. And so please bear with me. The writer of this episode was a fella named Frank Chase. His father was a screenwriter.
Starting point is 00:31:45 He wrote Red River and did Howard Hawks movies and legendary screenwriter by the name of Borden Chase. Now, in this third season of Bonanza, both Frank Chase and Borden Chase were on. the writing staff of Bonanza, a father-s-son team. Oh, wow. Can you imagine that? This is almost as good as those three teachers that submitted an episode, remember, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:06 They're a father-son team. Now, this is what, you're not going to believe it. You know, you heard about Woody Allen. You know the things that Woody Allen doing. Sure. Yep. This guy was the original Woody Allen. What?
Starting point is 00:32:18 Borden or the kid? Borden, the father. To the kid? No, no. He had, let's see how I could. do it he married he had two children and then he married a lady who had one child and then when he was 44 and that child was 22 they began an affair together so it's him and his stepdaughter having an affair with 22 years between him and the wife caught him and left him okay good for five years later
Starting point is 00:32:47 they married and they remained married all of his life oh so it's fine just like with Woody Allen It's perfectly fine now. I feel sick. What do you mean? This beautiful love story. So when Frank Chase wrote this episode, he's on a writing staff with his father who. I feel like I saw that couple. I thought he was her grandpa on set.
Starting point is 00:33:13 Oh, yeah. I saw this man and this attractive young woman. Right. And he was a writer. Now it comes to me. But I thought he was a grandpa. That was his bride. That was his wife.
Starting point is 00:33:25 His daughter and his wife. That doesn't make sense. The writer of this episode had one person who was his step sister and his stepmother. That saves time on Christmas. Is there a country song about that yet? There ought to be. Now, I try to think, I can't believe how similar that is to Woody Allen. It's such a similar story that I tried to figure out is there a connection between these two.
Starting point is 00:33:50 And here's the only connection I can find. Oh, there is? Yeah, there is. All right. Frank Chase, who wrote the episode, his sister, this girl named Barry Chase, a very accomplished dancer. At the age of 91, she is still alive and she is the last surviving member of the cast of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World. Who did she play in that? Dick Sean's bikini-clad girlfriend. Oh, sure. Okay. Wow. By the way, she appears in an episode of Bonanza called The Ballerina as a woman, a saloon girl who wishes she could be a ballerina. And Frank Chase wrote that part for her. That's very nice. Oh, that's nice of her brother.
Starting point is 00:34:24 Okay, that's just a side note. But she danced with Fred Astaire in TV specials. And Fred Astaire was in Purple Rose of Cairo with Danny I.Ello. Oh, right. And Woody Allen directed that. So he might have could have talked to Fred Astaire. And Fred Astaire, not only that, but he dated Barry Chase, even though he was like 30 years older than her, too. Are you proposing Fred Astaire dated the sister?
Starting point is 00:34:56 That's right. In real life. In real life. On the set of Purple Rose of Cairo, Fred Astaire gave Woody Allen the idea or planted the seed that he should date his former mate Mia Farrow's daughter, Soonie, Previch. He goes, hey, your stepdaughter's looking pretty good. Right. Or you should groom her. Right.
Starting point is 00:35:17 Or was he able to take that home and go, there's precedent? Maybe. But I'm saying there's chit-chat on the set, and Fred Astaire says, Hey, I used to dance with and date this lady whose step-sister was her stepmother, and they seemed so happy. And then Woody Allen said, You got to the bottom of it. I got to the damn bottom of it.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Well, there is time for chit-chat on those sets. There is a lot of moving the lights, big lights. I suppose they're not that big anymore. No, the lights are still big. That was so big. Can I interest you guys in watching a clip of Barry, Chase, and Fred Astaire dancing? Sure. Okay, good.
Starting point is 00:35:58 After you see it, you might think I wish I hadn't seen it because it is, all right, I have to select. Oh, Jesus Christ. I'm going to select the URL. I thought we worked on this. I gave you a workshop for Christmas on how to do technology. But you did not notice that I was fairly drunk. You gave him a workshop entitled How to Do Technology? He titled it that.
Starting point is 00:36:20 Oh, yeah. Had a new technology. This is Fred Astaire. For some reason, with a leather, with an Alfredine Newman mask on. For real? Yeah. And that's Barry. Chase, the sister of the mayor of this episode.
Starting point is 00:36:39 Isn't that beautiful? Is this so Fred Astaire. He's still moving. Yeah. It's a body double? How did you find this on Instagram? You tell us. I didn't mean to.
Starting point is 00:36:49 he sure moves good for an older man yeah that's true well anyway he's dressed up like alfredy newman and dancing with a woman i don't know why what me scurry all right that concludes everything i learned about that the writers of the episode of woody allen that's one of the best i have to say i went that's quite a connection you might be right about him giving the seed to woody Do you think that that would help him in a court or a civil case to release that information? I think so.
Starting point is 00:37:24 I think it'll turn people around him, Woody Allen. It's your duty to get that out there. Okay. To know that he was just... To clear his name? Yeah. You guys, stop. He wasn't the first.
Starting point is 00:37:35 He didn't come up with it. It was practically thrust upon him. You guys need to stop. Do you want to live in a world where a man can't marry his stepdaughter? Really? Yeah, preferably. Yeah. Good Lord.
Starting point is 00:37:47 It's legal in Colorado, by the way She knows every damn thing about that state Paul Richards played trach He was the bank robber in this episode You worked a lot with Paul Richards Very good actor Yeah, very good actor Nice guy
Starting point is 00:38:02 Nice man, good handled pistols well What was it like looking into those eyes in real life? Beautiful eyes Captivating Yeah, they held you He had a fair amount of eye liner on in this episode He did He kind of had a Liberace vibe
Starting point is 00:38:17 A little bit The eyes at least Beautiful I mean I guess Yeah Is that a part Maybe that's a part of bank robin It's sort of like I come in and all this makeup And it disorienting you or something like that's bewitching
Starting point is 00:38:28 That's right It's bewitching I'm really proud of you for knowing that he was wearing eyeliner Oh yeah That's a lot of progress Oh really? We did a workshop called How to Do Makeup And or understand makeup on set
Starting point is 00:38:40 Was that it was a smoky eye? Yeah that was a smoky eye on the water line there was a lot of dark black. Yeah. Yeah. I found it a little bit. You don't have to tell me that
Starting point is 00:38:51 because I was originally cast as the crow. I'm going to select another URL. Bank robbers and I think if it did wear a highliner. Really? For the very reason to mystify the teller and go,
Starting point is 00:39:05 am I talking to a woman or a man right now? And in that moment, you could sneak through and take their gun off of them. Just enough confusion. It's kind of like when one of those Bandit masks like a raccoon
Starting point is 00:39:17 but it's just really thin Did you wear eyeliner when you I did yeah yeah I wore I did my own too Oh yeah
Starting point is 00:39:23 A lot of fellas went to a beauty salon I could do my own What did you use A black liner Or brown Yeah black It feels like it would be too dark
Starting point is 00:39:31 On you You'd probably use brown Would be better I did evolve into brown It feels like it'd be better For your color schemes At the bank robbery You can have the money
Starting point is 00:39:41 But might you consider a lighter shade. I found it. It was called oak ash by Mabelie. Yeah, that's good. It was the tent. I eventually landed on oak ash. I would have done a Charlotte Tilbury, flawless filter. She might not have been around when I was robbing banks. And then we would hit you with, yeah, kind of like a, probably like a mauve brown, just around the edges, around the eye. I mostly did, I did a little brow, because I got thin brow, so I would extend the brow.
Starting point is 00:40:10 I would get you the Tom Ford palette. now that we're talking about it. I don't know if it was like pinks and red. John Ford was around. Tom Ford is that is, you're confusing. Tom Mix and John Ford. No,
Starting point is 00:40:22 I'm talking about Tom Ford. Who the hell's Tom Ford? Remember I asked you for Christmas for the Tom Ford palette? Remember I didn't get it for you? Yeah, it's four colors. Yeah, I do remember. You said $90 for four colors.
Starting point is 00:40:36 Absurd. Absolutely absurd. What? Yeah. That's too much money. Exactly. it's worth it you can have it for years this is coming from a robber
Starting point is 00:40:46 he knows robbery when he says it it's $90 you need to get your colors done if you were using black liner I'm worried about it you could burn a cork and use that in a pinch oh no that's what you're going to do from now on if you will tend to wear makeup in my house
Starting point is 00:41:00 you're going to burn a cork put it under your eyes take a half a pen and just kind of put it on a sharpie there you go I'd like you to watch a commercial for Braniff Airlines now because Paul Richards is in it and it's the strangest commercial for an airline
Starting point is 00:41:19 maybe for anything you've ever seen. He's put some years on. This is troc from this episode. Yeah, he has. Is he still wearing the mask? Looks like it. No, different guy. That was Fred Astaire in the Alfredine Newman mask.
Starting point is 00:41:32 This is a man that just happens to look a little bit like Alford D.N. He looks like he's wearing a mask of when he was in Bonanza. He reminds me to Liberace. No way. There's a certain energy. All right. Let's enjoy this. Dang it to hell. Also Italian. What the fuck happened?
Starting point is 00:41:49 How did I end up on the website of a... God damn it? Now you're like on a... How did that happen? Things like that don't happen to other people when they try to watch things on their computers. It's so easy to do a hyperlink. I don't understand. A hyperlink.
Starting point is 00:42:05 All right. Come on now. Oh, is it about to happen again? Here, I'll go down here. Yeah. Yeah. Braniff International is creating the most beautiful airline in the world. We hired Emilio Pucci to design our uniforms.
Starting point is 00:42:20 Our hostesses wear reversible coats of almond green and apricot, space helmets to keep out the rain, red space suits, and sometimes something a little more comfortable. And we hired Alexander Girard to do our planes. We have blue planes, orange planes, yellow planes. You can fly with it seven times. ever fly the same color twice inside seven different color schemes and since we fly to Mexico and South America art from Peru Brazil and Argentina cha cha cha to the end of the
Starting point is 00:42:53 plane we won't get you where you're going any faster but it'll seem that way they're all boarding on the wing that is not good for the structural integrity it can't be it can't be if I booked a flight on there, I'd say I put me on any plane except the one they used in the commercial where there's all piled on one of the wings. Purcher, the tin on that. Wow. Rant of airlines, what happened to them?
Starting point is 00:43:20 The first flight, the wing fell off. And the stewardess's space helmets didn't help any. Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha. I love the way he says, cha, cha, cha. Can you say cha, cha, cha. Um, I guess when you're talking about the dance, yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:43:36 Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha. It reminds me of that, have you guys seen the John Belushi commercial for Albania? No. Dial it up. You've got 15 minutes? Let's see here. Yeah, this will take 25 minutes. You'll have to remember, too, going to South America was before we went to the moon,
Starting point is 00:43:55 so it was kind of like going to space. That's true. A lot of people got to South America. Only Nazis. Criminals. Yeah. Criminals would have gone. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:02 American criminals too. John Belushi, Albania. I never knew John Belushi did a commercial for. Albanian. He's Albanian. Yeah. I did know that. Now wait. No, down. Robert De Niro. What are you on? Are you on YouTube? Yeah, it's YouTube. Not only that, it's YouTube premium. There it is. That's it. That's it. The bottom. Oh, Albania tourism with James Belushi. Is that what you mean? Yeah. Oh, that's very different. This is brother. It's all the same. They're all Belushi's. lose the sound.
Starting point is 00:44:36 Oh shit, do I have to do what? Okay. This is a title sequence of what? This is it long. You know, after being Albania so many times, I now know the feeling. I now know by Albania is known as the land of Eagles.
Starting point is 00:45:01 Do we ever find out what it's known as? The land of wood. Eagles. Or who else but an eagle could ever do. dream of having mountains this beautiful what substance is he owned who else could be so proud of these magnificent high castle where what you came to set in who stood the trials of time and destiny and still stays strong today thanks for tucking it in the fourth century this magnificent amphitheater for actors
Starting point is 00:45:47 he does the same thing with his hands every time he breaks into a dance and an eagle is watching that eagle is not impressed the true eagles of this land can treasure and preserve the striking beauty. And I am proud to be one of you. Wow. James Bluessie just declared himself one of the true Eagles of the land of Albania. So I don't understand that commercial.
Starting point is 00:46:20 Why not? You, but you understood the brand of her life. How is a comedian and expert on Eagles? Like, you know what I mean? Like, he's got to be someone when you see him go, well, I buy it because he knows. knows eagles, right?
Starting point is 00:46:37 But he just knows comedy. He should be telling us how funny Albania is. Or something. Yeah. Incredible kind of expert. Like if you was on trial and the murder was committed by an eagle, let's say, you wouldn't bring in Jim Belushi to talk about the possibility that eagle be on the murder. Yeah, well, I think on set he learned a lot about eagles, probably. Probably.
Starting point is 00:47:00 His show has had eagles? No, on the set of this commercial. On the set of this commercial. So crash course Yeah at this point he's an expert Now he's an expert You saw the way he was walking around Yeah
Starting point is 00:47:11 I don't mean to be cynical But it didn't make sense to me It doesn't make sense to you You think if they Same text of the commercial But instead it had been an eagle expert That would Yeah like
Starting point is 00:47:20 Wild Kingdom fella Okay Mutual Wolverham Yeah That was his name Yeah That was his name Are you saying you're cynical
Starting point is 00:47:28 Because you don't feel like Jim Belushi Had his heart in that Well it seemed like a paycheck. I feel like a paycheck a little bit. I don't know. He doesn't know birds of prey. Like, it seems like that story is saying Albanians are like Eagles, right? Uh-huh. Give him tribute, but he don't know that. No, you don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:47:50 Well, like everything he's ever done, they originally wanted John Blushy for me. Even no more credible. Fifteen years after his death. He's no more credible, though. No. I suspect. You don't think. He might not, he might have varied the hand gestures to fit, his brother. Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:11 He might have varied the hand gestures. What about Jake Blues? If it had been Jake Blues talking about the glories of Albania in character with his. I still don't see the connection. That's fair. That's fair. Did you ever fly Banniff Airlines or whatever? I flew Braniff, yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:32 Oh, yeah. TWA, Pan Am, not to brag, Pan Am. What colors did you collect along the way? My chair back then. I do remember it was like an emerald green. Wow. And the stewardess, as we called them that. Stewardesses.
Starting point is 00:48:47 Had a bubble hat on for some reason. And I thought the pressurized cabin had failed or something, but they just wore it for fashion. Was she in the reversible coat or the more casual Tia lounge room? They somehow were parading every other. hour they'd flip that coat. Really? Whoa. That's fun. To give you like a fashion show.
Starting point is 00:49:08 There seemed to be an implication that if you wanted to, you could have sex with one of them, stewardesses. Even if you didn't want to, they were putting it out. I mean, they're boarding from the wing. Like, things were wild about that. That's a sexual position, right? Yeah, boarding from the wing.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Yeah. Oh, no, that's a demerit. For me or? For me? Yeah, both of you, both of you. You would look good in emerald green, by the way. That's definitely in your color. scheme. You could have done that on your eyes.
Starting point is 00:49:34 Am I a summer, autumn, or what's my palette? You're definitely a summer. Summer. What are you? I'm winter. And what are your colors? Anything like blue, deep blues. What's me? I don't know. Gray.
Starting point is 00:49:50 You need to forget all this knowledge because from now on it's burnt cork or nothing. This is knowledge you can't use anymore. All right, we need to get moving. Lee Bolden was played by Faith Dahmer goo who had a disfiguring car accident early in her career. Number one.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Before this. I know. She looks good. She's beautiful. She looked like Amy Adams with dark hair kind of. Mesmerized. It took 18 months of plastic surgery to get her looking that good. Amy Adams, who looks like Tim Baltz.
Starting point is 00:50:19 Oh, interesting. Do you see that? Yeah. I don't know Tim Bollbs. Yeah. Is that the fellow from the righteous gemstone? Yeah. So if you put a wig on him, he'd look like Amy Adams.

Starting point is 00:54:54 And your radar should tell you that. Yeah. Well, he managed to get all the shades pulled down. That's right. Before the bank teller says, may I ask what you're doing I mean what an idiot it's obvious what he's doing but he did it in a way
Starting point is 00:55:07 that made it seem like oh I don't mind that it's a sunny day they're customers just blocking the sunlight for his own reference it almost seems like Joe is functioning as an accomplice because he's distracting
Starting point is 00:55:22 the rinkiller while the other guy pulls down the shades now we know that's not the case no way he has only has three fellers there wouldn't be a four to be a full Isn't there usually only one bank teller and that's it at the bank? Back in the day, yeah. There'd be a manager or maybe a front desk person. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:39 And oftentimes. Maybe a guard. Yeah. But the teller is often working on the day before he gets married. As is the case with this teller. He's getting married tomorrow. To have a story. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:50 So his skull can't be crushed in because he's getting married. All right. Joe does not resist the robbery of the bank. He hands over the money for the widow to Pooch and Gavin. And to win a criminal's trust, Joe punches that clerk in the face for shooting the gun. Yeah, so he strikes a deal with the, with the trial. He says, you can get out of here with the money, but don't crack your pistol over the head of this man who's getting married tomorrow. Let me just punch him in the face.
Starting point is 00:56:18 Yeah. But, well, but he only does that because the bank tiller violates the deal. He takes a shot. He shoots truck in the shoulder. And Joe, that's a violation. I made a verbal contract with a bank robber. and you violated it. That's right.
Starting point is 00:56:32 He punches him in the face for that. Joe's reputation was in jeopardy at that point. Yes, it was. You got to prove to that criminal. He's a man of principles. It also has no business getting involved. That's true. But we have an indication right here that Trach is not such a bad guy because he's planning
Starting point is 00:56:50 to brain that teller, but he doesn't, right? Well, he's open to reason. He's susceptible to human touch. Yes. That's what I wanted to tell him. A lot of bank robbers have a soft spot. Is that true? That's true.
Starting point is 00:57:04 Okay. That's true. They just came up from tough, you know, tough beginnings. Okay. All right. Well, anyways, now. I just do online deposits, so I don't really. I don't know what that is.
Starting point is 00:57:17 Do you zeal or do you? I use Zell of Venmo. Oh, yeah. You're always zealin, huh? She'll say to me, she'll send me a text message on my damn phone and she says, send me $20. What the hell are you talking about? I send you Venmo requests.
Starting point is 00:57:30 I know. I get requests on there and it's like somehow I can make the money go on the phone well I'd be like steak dinner what send me $80 I'm hungry and I always say I don't know how what am I supposed to do why are you money at the Houston's? Yeah
Starting point is 00:57:46 I love Houston's You can only eat there with like two people though Oh you might be bike calls she's asking for that nightmare It's so hard They don't allow high chairs They don't allow anything At Houston's You can only eat there with two people.
Starting point is 00:58:01 You can't go there with any more people than that. I've gone there with four and they were pissed. But you literally can't get a reservation for more than five. No. More than four. They won't allow five. Yeah. Well, a steak is a meal.
Starting point is 00:58:12 A man should eat alone. I agree with that. I want that on a T-shirt. Okay. Well, now Joe arrives at the widow's house and he's sorry to tell her I ain't got your money because it was stolen a bank robbery and she's very suspicious of people. She says, passed this way. Her helper at Gill is 64 years old and he's out sick. Who knows where?
Starting point is 00:58:36 Probably dead. Probably dead. He comes in for a meal and they're about to eat and they really seem like maybe they're falling in love. There's flute music in the background. But then thunder claps and he abruptly decides to leave. I'll tell you one thing, Insider. All that flute music you're hearing, you don't hear it on the day. What do you mean? When those actors are falling in love, making gooo eyes. There was tension between her and Joe and her in the truck. She seems ready to fall in love with anybody.
Starting point is 00:59:07 That's not being popped in nowhere. Then how do the actors know that there's flute? Yeah, or remember all those funny episodes when the music's telling you when it's funny? How do they know that they're doing funny things? I don't, I'm not an actor, I'm a consultant, but I can tell you about being
Starting point is 00:59:23 there, I never heard no flute music, no boeing. None of that. Obviously. None of that. Obviously, it was done in post. Jesus Christ. Post.
Starting point is 00:59:33 What you're talking about? By U.S. mail? No. How did they do this? How did they film? How did they get them cameras in there with the fourth wall there? That's a good question. A lot of those sets, they open up.
Starting point is 00:59:46 They break the wall and have a half of it. They put wheels underneath them and they slide them out. You can knock. Well, a bank isn't going to be very secure if you can remove a whole wall. I said earlier, this is a set. It was at paramount. They was not at a ban The horses is robot
Starting point is 01:00:02 Some of them I forgot you said that That was hours ago Robot horses What is it? Was it assort? How long is it been? Man I'm 99
Starting point is 01:00:10 I got stuff I got to do Poor Joe sits down to a meal But then the thunder tells him He's got to go He didn't eat a bite But he's ready to ride 20 miles home Hoping to beat the rain But it's a fool's Aaron
Starting point is 01:00:23 And she says why don't you stay out in the barn He says yes I will He goes out to the barn And who does he discover there It's a reunion between him and the bank robber who's now been shot in the shoulder. Old Trach is there. And Trach says, you and me is going inside that house. And I'm going to get a meal and some warmth.
Starting point is 01:00:39 And so they go in there. And she, what happens next? Oh, she's, because she was married to a doctor, she knows that you got to get that bullet out or he's going to die of bullet poisoning. And he, and that's where he tron smashes the gun to gun to make dismantle. That's right. He gets her gun. Yeah, et cetera. That was my part.
Starting point is 01:01:00 You did a good job. You did a good job. You ever been? Oh, Lord. Wow. It's a windy, it's especially windy day here in Los Angeles. God does not like us disparaging bananas. I know.
Starting point is 01:01:12 Be careful. All right. So anyway, they're going to have to do surgery on them and so they do. And they get really drunk. Yeah, they get him real drunk on whiskey. And he's suffering. Always brown, if you're going to anesthesia, brown liquor. Oh.
Starting point is 01:01:28 Is that right? Yeah. In the bank robber world. Oh, in the bank robber. If you try to anesthetize somebody with a gin at Angola. It's like water. Yeah. It's clear.
Starting point is 01:01:36 Yeah. Same at my high school. It's the same. Well, Lee, the lady here, the widow, she goes from being the surgeon to just being a distraction while Joe does the surgery to the point where she ends up having to kiss the patient. He's like kissing. And all that flute during the kiss wasn't there. No, no, they had to have it during the kids. They had to have the flute music line.
Starting point is 01:02:03 There's just a flautist off screen. No, no musician. But I know for a fact there's a resident Paramount Studios floutist that would go from set to set and just sit in a little stool. And let actors know it's time to kiss. It was a young Ian Anderson from Jethroletal. That's right. Maybe my memory's failing, but I don't remember a floundist. I don't know who to believe now.
Starting point is 01:02:24 So the woman couldn't do the surgery, but she could kiss him. Distractive. Yeah, that's great. That's how nursing began, from what I understand. Yeah, the most doctors was, man. Back in the day. Florence Nightingale. And Joe made short work of getting that bullet out of that shoulder.
Starting point is 01:02:41 Once he took over, it was lick. Because he didn't want her kissing him any longer. I guess that may be it. But anyway, now, the widow and the bank robber have kissed. And I think we see where this is going. He's falling in love. All right. What happened?
Starting point is 01:02:56 By the way, Troc seems to have been maybe they thought they were going to hire an older actor because he keeps calling Joe's son and the boy. But they seem to be about the same age. Yeah. That's a good point. They're both wearing the same amount of bronzer. Bronzer, they don't have bronzer.
Starting point is 01:03:12 How many times? That's the same bronzer they would use for different ethnicities too. Just so you know, I can tell you that. Vito Scott has spent a lot of time in the bronzer care. We actually got into this argument last episode. Yeah, she keeps saying the director's on Bonnet. I'm telling you they're out there on their horses on the range getting a lot of sun.
Starting point is 01:03:31 No. Like Doc Savage, the man of bronze. Here you go. Oh, but do not disturb turned off. So we've been at it for an hour. Here we go. We're hustling home. Joe finds the money out of the barn and he rehides it up in the hayloft.
Starting point is 01:03:46 Always do that. That was my note. Oh, really? Rehide. Rehide. If you find a kit or stash, yeah. Rehide.
Starting point is 01:03:54 Because now you're in control of where it is. Yeah. that gives you leverage all right smart you man what would they do without you on this episode i can't even imagine it now here comes pooch and gavin they've come and found them and uh what they want to do is divide up the money three ways so pooch and gavin can go there or separate ways and trot can too but trot doesn't like the plan at all 3500 a piece this is where we get a great line from pooch pooch says he's talking about what's going to do with his 3500 he says i'm going to get myself a case full of whiskey. I hire them full of women and destroy myself. And then he goes, and then if I have any of
Starting point is 01:04:32 the 3,500 left, I'm going to spend it foolish like. That's good. That's good writing. That's good writing. Frank Chase, yeah. That's accurate. That's how criminals think. Is that right? The plan is to spend it foolish like. And they go ahead and they know it's foolish. Burn through it. Premeditated foolishness. Love it. I am surprised. But now Gavin puts his hands on Lee. Gavin's really the bad guy. Pooch is just there for laughs. And it tilt his chair at like fully like 45.
Starting point is 01:05:09 Yeah. It's an art. It's an art. He's good. Trock intervenes to save Joe's life. Oh. Careful. No, I'm scared.
Starting point is 01:05:18 Don't do it. They're a old chair. Four on the floor, ma'am. I used to do that all the time. Really? Yeah. It's not worth talking about, especially at this late hour. Gavin is going to get his hands on Lee.
Starting point is 01:05:31 Joe jumps in to save Lee. Gavin's going to kill Joe. Troc saves Joe's life and says we're even now. Okay. Well done. Thank you. All right. Now it's the morning and this whole thing about where's the money.
Starting point is 01:05:47 This is the way we should always get it. What happens here? Gavin says he's going to kill all three of them if they don't get the money. So Joe says it's up in the barn. Now here's where we have a damn fight scene. Man, it was a good. This is a real good fight scene. You got Joe jumping down from the hill.
Starting point is 01:06:05 He already got his ass whooped, by the way, at this point. Oh, yeah. He got a good weapon. His bill is still ringing from that ass beating in the house. But now he's out here. He jumps down from the hay loft on top. Throw the bail first. Then he leaps.
Starting point is 01:06:19 Yeah. Always throw a bail. Always throw a bail. Is that right? That was extra. That's not really my ballet wick. I said, always throw a belt, then do the jump. Because if you're a guy and you've got a gun on somebody.
Starting point is 01:06:30 Or put on mascara. You need a prestige or a distraction in that moment. It's a prestige. That's a good way. We needed to get ready with me beforehand where we understood what he was wearing. Yeah. But this guy, he's got a gun and he's trying to shoot Joe. And Joe throws him a bail of hay.
Starting point is 01:06:50 Now, he has no choice but to try to catch that bail of hay. You know what I mean? Yeah, absolutely. And then he's human. instinct. He's no longer shooting anybody. Thief, bad man or good, always wants to save a bail a hay. You see something falling, you want to catch it, especially
Starting point is 01:07:03 a bail a hay. What is he going to do? Step to the side and let it fall to the ground. That's a bail of hay. That's horse food. You can't ignore that. No, sir. No. It's going to make such a loud thump, you know. A moth to a flame. That's even assuming he knows it's a bail of hay. That could be
Starting point is 01:07:21 a baby. You know what I mean? It's happening so fast. That's true. Maybe Joe found a baby up in the halo of and threw it down to him. He'd better catch it. Well, so now, but that's just all the distraction Joe needs. And then we got a real brawl in here. And then something amazing happens where Pooch comes in to save his friend Gavin. And he fires at Joe.
Starting point is 01:07:41 And in the moment that he fires, Joe has repositioned Gavin to take the shot. In the gut. Yeah. And Gavin lights out. He's dead. And then that's when Joe jumps behind a bell, hey. And he gets hold of Gavin's gun. he knew just where it was and he shoots pooch
Starting point is 01:07:56 but not fatally we learn later pooch survives yeah they keep injuring people and then like nursing them back to health it's like kill them already Jesus I know he shot him right in the guttocks exactly and a human shield is a good thing to remember
Starting point is 01:08:12 when you're robbing a bank I bet oh always remember you can use a human shield to get yourself out of there back out to the door and grab a shield oh that's a good human in one hand bail a hay in the other bail of hay is always good yeah A smaller bail would be preferable. Seems like you have your hands full.
Starting point is 01:08:28 Do you travel with little travel-sized bailout? A lot of crime robbers do. Well, basically now, okay, yeah, they fix up Pooch's leg. And Joe says, I'm going to take Troc and Pooch and Gavins' corpse and $10,000 to the sheriff. But Lee says, no, she pulls a gun, which, by the way, Joe knows is empty because he emptied the gun. This is a truck gun. whatever she says
Starting point is 01:08:56 you gotta let truck go don't take him to the sheriff that bookcase gun was empty already yeah it was I know that was my fault oh what I could have fired I should have left one bullet in there
Starting point is 01:09:10 that's my bad you're just now realizing it oh my God wow this changed the whole we gotta cut that out we got to cut that out my reputation Oh, God.
Starting point is 01:09:23 You're a 99-year-old man. You're long-retired. He did a hot edit on the beginning of the show. That was about a man's breath. This is my legacy. Wait, Mark, cut that out too. This is my legacy. Mark, Mark, cut that out.
Starting point is 01:09:37 Nobody cares. No one cares. No one cares. No one listens to this. While Trock was drunk, Joe emptied the bullets out of his gun before he gave it back to him. And then she took the gun and hit it in the bookshelf. And then she turns it on Joe at the end. Joe complies as though there's bullets in the gun.
Starting point is 01:09:51 but there ain't bullets in the gun and that was your mistake my bad okay oh i felt terrible but here's what happens trot decides he says i'm going to be an honest man to do an honest thing and go to jail for bank robbery and then when i get out of jail i'm going to come back here and be your husband that is representative of the bank robbers i met decent men decent just had a bad turn as a young man what about as husbands i never married one i can't speak to that i'm so glad to hear that that restores my faith in bank robbers you know specifically that murderers that dirtbag they're the awful people but a bank robber has got some decency in there decent man decent man hope they got hope in there somewhere yeah and then he is soul and soap in their hole we used to say that yeah I want that on a shirt too
Starting point is 01:10:42 you got it you got it well uh wait she has Stockholm syndrome the lady oh you think so yeah Yeah, she's horny for her captor. Oh, yeah. I want that. There was about four endings here because they left, right? Yeah, that's true. And then they come back again. That's true.
Starting point is 01:11:02 It comes in the door. It did end, and then it began again. It ended again. It never ended? Maybe not. But at some point, they rolled them credits. Did she get any money at all? Did Joe take a piece of the money give her some?
Starting point is 01:11:16 Absolutely not. Oh, wait a minute. He did have what it was his. I hope she took out the money. We didn't see that. No. Damn it. I guess he's honor bound to return all the stolen money to the sheriff,
Starting point is 01:11:30 at which point it goes back to the bank, at which point perhaps he can take some out and bring it as he was planning to the widow. Joe is very rules. He's a real rule follower, June, little gentleman. But, yeah, anyway, the episode is, and he asked permission to kiss her at the end. Isn't that nice? He says, may I kiss you? And she's not used to that.
Starting point is 01:11:47 she said now what in what way do you feel that this was not so good for women's she has stagham syndrome oh oh that's how you feel so she if she was of her if she was not under threat of death she would not have fallen in love with the man you think she was literally forced to kiss him and then she decided she was in love with him because she's so she hasn't been touched in so long right and then she's basically held captive by him right so do you think that's a good representation of a healthy relationship? Well, for a widow. Right?
Starting point is 01:12:24 I think it's a beautiful love story. The two of them is going to be just fine, the two of them. You've got to wait. How many years? He's four or five years, five years, I think. Five years. That's nothing for a widow. Yeah, she can do that.
Starting point is 01:12:35 She'd do that standing on her head. That's right. What, five years? Yeah. Because you've got a man coming, and then once you've got a man, he'll do the chores and you're set. You call that Fat City. She's just got to keep that 64-year-old ranch hand alive for five more years is all she's got.
Starting point is 01:12:53 That guy's dead. Do whatever you can. That's all she's got to do. Well, that was a beautiful, and I'm sorry to say, now there's only 361 episodes left of Bonanza to talk about. Oh, my God. We've done 70. We've talked about 70 episodes of Bonanza in the seven years that we've been doing this. Has it really been?
