hello and welcome to the dave hill good time hour with me dave hill from before hi how are you how how's everybody doing how are you doing boy criminal chris kurzbek did did the did i enter the show seamlessly from the the theme music you were perfect that was very good yeah i feel good about it um a little bit of play out it was nice how are you doing new jersey chicken rancher des i am present i am on time i'm doing great yeah you were late last week everyone was horribly worried that you uh you were trapped under a bunch of old newspapers or yeah phone books i think bob's yeah phone books what we suspect fall play in general i was thinking during um the theme music which is i don't know if you guys know this is a song called angel witch who's that band
oh oh did they freeze angel there he is ah there he goes i thought you you seem like you froze chris are you there uh i think you froze it was you you was all you am i am i currently frozen
i blame you for all technical difficulties because i fear technology i mean you should but um in this case that was all you wasn't me okay fair blame the lineman fair enough but my what i was gonna say is i had to think about it i was like do i am i sick of the song angel witch by the band angel witch from the album which is called angel witch it's been wrong no yeah i think i think i like it as much as as the 47th time i heard it it's been running consistently for years now someone asked in the chat uh oh that wasn't a mad singing so i guess i guess they thought that that was uh if anybody our guests if anybody can you turn the background music down the tiny bit yeah um thank you michael vizard nice comment uh it was aimed at me so i won't repeat it i just take its heart by the way if anyone does want uh you know us to read their comments directly and right out of the gate
before all others hit the what's it called the super super chat yeah the super chat you can you can and you can show your support for this incredible program um which is a slick program as you can imagine
[ __ ] this mic yeah yeah [ __ ] you're allowed to swear [ __ ] like [ __ ] the world wait you're still you're still doing it though what a nightmare here maybe oh no now you're good no you're good nicely done i'm just using because the computer microphone like uh like a person might not not not someone who has a slick of anyway angel witch i can't i won't shut up about it right as i was telling you right before we went on the air to the millions and millions of people watching live um i do you guys ever check your spam folders yes rarely i was just in there recently actually what what made you what inspired you to check it actually i was looking for my covid test results which i never got back i got i uh i took both tests the short and the the longer term test when it takes a couple days to to get back and the the the rapid test was negative i mean i wasn't worried about it um and then yeah so i was checking my spam look thinking that maybe the results were sent there uh and it was interesting i'm i'm interested to see what you real quick jeannie murray just uh did a super chat for two dollars and there's a cool little animated sticker that says cool next uh oh nice thank you thank you genie hey where's the phone number how come we don't have the phone number up so we can just get all those phone calls because i came right from another meeting and forgot but oh [ __ ] you that sounds personal oh this is hell um no the reason i bring it up is i checked my spam folder for the first time in forever uh a little bit ago and this is how they get you i saw the subject line was guitars yeah so i was like oh i will read that i like guitars this is someone's trying to email me about guitars and then i opened it and it was like a thing like you were on a pornographic website and i hijacked your computer and your camera and i videotaped you you know what you were doing and it goes on this elaborate route
why did we lose them again we did they do get you in there mine might be you just like don't respond to this email because like only the money will get you out of this otherwise i will release the tapes of that i made of you how long did they give you any timeline yeah you see you have 24 hours or anything i don't know i'd have to look at it again um but the joke was on them because the only porn i look at is guitar porn i just look at guitar websites right solid i look at that and pet finder those are the only the only two things i look at on that i read the news in the morning late late at night i look at guitars and i i just look i think of breeds i'm like what would a like a chihuahua mix with a newfoundland look at look like and i search dogs that are available that fit that description do you have like a mix it up you have like a white whale of a breed that you just can't find that you think would be a great mix there you just oh that's a good question
well i'll tell you that's how i found my sweet lucy was doing what i was like i wonder what i bet i was like a bit of boxer and pit bull would look really nice right and that's how i found my dog there you go matt arnold just uh super chatted guitar porn or porn porn but i think you already answered that yeah guitar it's only guitar porn i i'm not a porn you know i'm not saying i'm uh i'm no prude you know i like a good time mm-hmm don't get me wrong we're all adults here but i don't i'm not not into porn it's not my thing get to a point you move on it's just you know yeah just i don't know i like i like looking at dogs in a non-sexual capacity the internet can be a nice place if you choose it that way
jessica kybel says i for one think you guys talk more porn than you watch i think that's accurate i think that's accurate because we've just discussed porn she talking about specifically or like you guys in general as a oh like as representative of males right maybe let's i guess she'll have to do another super chat to clarify i'm going to take a couple so yeah let's take some calls the number is 201 5 84 707. have we mentioned who our guests are tonight oh yeah we have not that's it this is you know as if i haven't exhibited enough lack of professionalism uh we should we should say to the guests they are tvs frank
and trace bully frank kenneth of course and trace paul you the mans joining us again making their triumphant most people don't agree to come back on the show after they've been on the show one time yeah i think because of their relationship with chris uh it's some sort of extortion or something that i think they just felt kind of obligated yeah they couldn't get out of it they couldn't get out of it yeah because no one ever agrees to come back do they couple half a couple i slipped it into the contract it's like very fine print and i had my lawyer word it just enough that it's like you kind of understand but it's also confusing do you know what it is this is yeah yeah that's how they get you yeah so you know like get people get lost in the semantics of it all yeah the legalese uh jessica kybel clears up she did not super chat that let me be clear so i'm wondering no obligation she's all people wait it says all people fu what does that mean uh i don't know um
genie says
chat because clear as we've already learned in the first few minutes of the show i need a new microphone or at least a new microphone cord which is the most expensive part usually uh jeannie murray says is there going to be another online film event discord answer was both educational and entertaining very true i yeah we we've been talking about it i gotta say though as i think i've discussed um i've moved on from indian films and now i only watch finnish films that's okay it doesn't happen i am
i but i we we could do a finish uh i don't know if it has quite the same razzmatazz probably not of a disco we could just watch one we should probably just watch disco dancer again
yeah what do you think of that chris i'm down because i uh i found myself actually craving that movie a few days ago i was like it's been a while it's been months craving it like you crave a thumbs up soda yes a thumbs up cola uh the coca-cola of india uh dan wally asked if the disc good this wasn't a super chat but i feel like we need to address it is the disco dancer event going to be released on maximum fun it actually already was so if you're a maximum fund member just log into your account at maximumfun.org and it'll the whole video and audio uh from our watch party are there yes you can do it which is you know all the more reason we've lost chris has just left the show always turn on the turn off the kitchen light um yeah it's in there if you're not supporting us on maximum fun please do maximumfun.org slash join or you could do a super chat and support us now really this is all for chris's uh
yeah i actually i got it getting habits i shan't go into i got up to turn the kitchen light off like two minutes ago so i think you're watching the the youtube stream and not the oh i'm going back and forth because i'm trying to read the the chat
let me get maybe i shouldn't do that let's get this caller yeah
you there caller hello yeah it's you go ahead hello me yep it's you all right who's calling i got a couple items of business i'd like to discuss all right bring it on dangerous snakes you hate [ __ ] austin chapter oh nice thank you yes yes however i have not gotten a snake name oh you gotta get it what what is your what is your real name enough taylor caleb yeah real name taylor taylor oh taylor so yes i was thinking it might be something along the lines of i'm kind of a bandit of the uh you know those neighborhood libraries take a book leave a book there's one that i've hit like i don't know how many times i ride up on my scooter i leave it running i open the thing like look side to side i grab all the children's books i fill up my scooter sometimes i take so many i have to tuck them into my pants the ride home this guy sounds like a real this is taylor taylor the austin taker of books never leaver of books how's that how both of you out of guilt oh you have left some well this sort of ruins everything dangerous people feel no guilt i don't know i mean i think as long as you're taking more books than you're leaving um that's dangerous in its own way so i applaud it
so i would say never or seldom leaver of books i do like that's better so the for taylor the austin frequent taker book seldom leverage books nice guy that's got a nice ring to it i have to say you look good in a patch yeah i'm i'm waiting for someone to get a dangerous snake so hate [ __ ] tattoo that's when i feel like my street gang will really really so i can recognize i've achieved something did we lose him no he's there can we get more why do we have so much of a delay on the phone is that another slick uh detail of our show i'm hearing it pretty well but it might get stretched on your side by the time it goes out here to this small this tiny finish fishing village we're in uh so the other thing is um my favorite part of the show is the crime blotter and i'd be willing whenever i get paid again to donate the money that you need to get through that paywall this is not a bad idea it's like something it's something ridiculous it's like ten dollars a month wow to read the let me pull it up maybe they maybe they've taken down the paywall let me because i'm a fan of the the crime blotter as well no one likes the crime blotter more than i do there are some chrome extensions i believe that are supposed to get past all those kinds of things i call [ __ ] this doesn't sound believable or incognito yeah
who's got the squeaky toy is the best sorry it's my chair i'm getting a new chair wmu days grime water was what got me in that's what got me hooked crime bladder was oh thank you we get we got to bring it back i like this idea yeah it's saying wait a minute okay i may have gained that nope okay we may have i may have gained access nice you may have gained that it's a breakthrough
okay i hope i said her last name right she's got a super chat for five dollars she's so used to watching dave's instagram videos uh she forgot he doesn't always talk that way you're you're highly stylized well the re you know the reason i have to talk so fast in the instagram videos is because you only get they only give you 30 seconds so it's a lot to get in
let's see yeah you got to talk really fast it wouldn't kill me to talk a little faster in real life i have to say
um i think if you really talk like that it would be a bit much it would be a bit much like you called me and you're just like oh hey it's dave and you just
i don't know i wouldn't mind that once or twice oh let's let's hope this is not behind the paywall because this is this i think i found a i this is the danger though of uh
okay this is a pretty good one man closes bank vest do you have the crime bladder music it looks like there's not a paywall oh five all right i'm gonna go ahead and hop off the phone if crimeblot is going down yeah good call talent i'm gonna try it's letting me in and i have a i have a really strong case locked and loaded here
um looking for the music oh you've it's the theme from chinatown come on i know we haven't done it in so long i don't have it you know ready to go of course i'm so enraged everybody can't believe this the chinatown sequel it's not so bad the two jakes yeah i've never seen it but i've heard about it it's good check it out i believe he jack nicholson directed it right yes much storied sequel took a long time to get to the screen
it's good stuff okay
whether you have the music or not i got it man closes bank vestibule to get some sleep this is from the richmond heights police blotter you still don't have the music chris you got it there it is the extended version
okay this is a case of trespassing wilson mills road wilson mills road dave isn't that
isn't that just a couple miles from where you grew up yeah it is thanks for asking wilson mills road a man was found sleeping in the front vestibule of the u.s bank april 5th he locked himself in and put up a sign that read please use the atm in the parking lot the staff asked that he be banned from the property
and you know on the face of it i thought well
um this would be a case you know a homeless guy sleeping because we see that a lot in new york but in this area i don't think that was the case i think this is a guy just played playing by his own set of rules he just needed some shelter problem i mean what were the what were the weather conditions at the time of this uh arrest i just think i just think this guy's a trailblade like because this is not an area where there would be a homeless person right sleeping in a vest view and putting up a sign that says please use the atm in the parking lot i think it's a ball or move i have to say plus like homeless people wouldn't lock the the vestibule
all right maybe let's see if i can pull up some other cases i'm going to say this is an open case you're uh i don't now i don't think it's your mic because now you're that thing is doing it again you're uh it's getting all crunchy and weird yeah cause that yeah it's cutting in and outing in me too should i should i leave the show and come back yeah why are you leaving i mean let me try you guys you as of now you're in control i'll be back i'll come back and join the show i wasn't doing that good of a job anyway it's okay for a reset
there we go dez you said you were watching chinatown recently right yes and this song popped up and it was like gave me chinatown it gave me uh crime butterflies flashbacks yeah yeah it's so weird when something like that happens when you like become more associated with something entirely different yeah yeah i wasn't even thinking to anticipate it i mean i knew it had been from the movie but i wasn't even uh on that level yeah watching and then all of a sudden oh wait we gotta do this well here we are worked out
you want to um do you want to talk about your uh your movie screen yeah i got a projector for christmas so we just started setting it up in the last couple weeks so we've got our uh full backyard screening schedule set up for the rest of the summer yeah and uh it's gonna be pretty sick i hope you guys can make it out yeah we'll be there nice wait now can you hear me and see me and such yeah all the things all the things and so in this time i've missed you just announced to a global massive audience that you're screening movies in your backyard yeah me uh open you know not charging admission we're not hosting you know the publicness yeah but you've basically opened your home up to uh perverts deviance i mean basically any this message goes out all over the world yeah but you know it's i'm not saying i'm not saying our listeners are viewers right yeah fit that description you know unless somebody's uh geo-triangulating my location uh from where i am west jersey's pretty big it's pretty expansive a lot of chicken ranchers out here so i'm not too worried about it would you say is rahway part of western new jersey god no not even close it isn't no i mean all right because i have a summer share in rahway i would call railway like the gateway to west jersey perhaps because you can catch route 27 there you know the old lincoln highway the gateway to west jersey yeah that's we're one of at least paradise of the mind yeah i think you uh should charge admission does like just invite people and then they show up and you're like all right 10 bucks or at least beer you got gotta at least bring drinks you know i'm not trying to give everybody a buzz too yeah but now yeah we're psyched now good movies we're gonna watch jaws gonna get some star wars in there yeah uh what else we got some alfred hitchcock starting off with orson welles getting classy so those are our summer plans i think i may have a uh a cri if if this firewall is not going to shut me down i have another crime i that looks promising okay we got a couple more calls too lined up yeah our guests are ready to go as well oh my god it's an embarrassment of riches maybe we'll come back to this crime blotter and bring our guests on so we don't keep them waiting print them out so that way you have them while you're still in the firewall okay let's let's get our guests they've as if they haven't suffered enough waiting to come on the show let them do the real suffering by actually being on the show yeah i i need to be i need to stop being so self-deprecating i've had too many nil away first again ladies and gentlemen um there they are frank on if and trace bowl you thank you guys for joining us again thanks for having us yeah thanks for having us back um you guys uh usually no one agrees to come back so we're we're beyond grateful we haven't left we've been in that void waiting room for months just floating around i i feel like trace you have you you're in seeming like a new environment sort of a a bunker of sorts uh we like to call it bunker i don't know where i was i think i was in a clean room this is like all the crap that was in that room is in this room but it looks like you you've all you have a hat and some sort of you're looking like you've gone a bit military since we've seen you see you on the show last night it's just my color palette i like it it's strong more green hornet really than military oh okay that's good that's less threatening traces militia was a failure
we weren't well organized it's like we didn't know when to meet and then you'd show up and didn't have a gun because you thought oh i just borrow one when i get there it's just when you get to the militia sure i mean it which i think is a reasonable assumption if anyone's gonna have extra guns lying around who would it be the militia yeah i was uh when i joined it i uh um i won hoarder of the month one time that was the best i did
what is the name do you guys hear militia have a name
again you know success and failure you know good idea for now i'm finding a lot of the flaws out of the gate yeah well it wasn't thought out was is was chris gerspeck a member of the militia he was he was in the process uh you know uh chris does a lot of militia podcasts i don't know if you knew that but he was in the past he's number one he was in the process of getting our militia podcast going demo sought after militia podcast producer uh going right now you mean tonight right now or in general right in general okay there has to be a guy who actually is the militia podcasting guy like oh you got to call uh yeah call chris he's he'll get you set up he's got a fiber optic network yeah it has he has good good wi-fi from underground works
um a friend of mine in high school uh got married to this guy who always thought was kind of creepy and then found out that he went like full-on white supremacist and he's in a militia now in new mexico and like his name's all over the news and [ __ ] went all in he went all in proud boys everything well i don't want to brag okay i will but um please but one of the uh insurrectionists uh from january six uh lived in my building right here in new york oh cool it's a total brag wait wait are you are you telling us slash not telling us that there's insurrectionists in your building uh there was he was the i found out about it i didn't see it my neighbor kathleen told me that the a bunch of fbi people came and arrested him there was an article about him in um in the uh new york times he was a um a jewish uh pickup artist i'm not making this up he was a guy who um um i think he was orthodox but he gave uh guys tips on picking up girls that was his whole thing and then but he was also part of the um of the capital uh insurrection and also um um i used to do shows in la with uh jay johnstone who was from oh yeah and people said that he was a part of it too so i was i was really worried that i was uh the zelig of the insurrection
i mean arguably we all are you know because it seems like most of these guys were like at one point in normal society and jay jay was a great was when i knew him great guy really talented performer and and a nice guy you know i don't i don't know i did did they arrest him i don't there's been no update yeah whatsoever there was no denial from him about it either and i think people who who knew him someone told me sam cedar uh confirmed that it was him but but that was the most i've heard about it i think i also heard like his representation hasn't heard from him oh really he's like that's the opposite of how it usually works we don't hear from our representation completely flip the script
well then i i can't speak to to jay's situation but the more fascinating one to me is the guy who lives in new york city and then because i think you live in new york the current you know pandemic side you have access to all this culture museums you're in the greatest city in the world why do you need to go out and become an insurrectionist you have it all right it's restaurants you know but that's the beauty of new york we're a melting pot pot of all kinds of people and uh including and don't forget we're in new york we're we're we gave the world donald trump so we we can't say that we're that's true that how you know no one crazy like that would come from new york in fact we we had trump we giuliani you know um we we produce a lot of crazies here in this town it's weird in the outer boroughs too that's true yeah so that's true
yeah i mean the biggest not the
the biggest nut of them all right i came from new york i just think i wouldn't want to give up because you think if you're going to go insurrectionist or in some you know one of these organizations you think i'm probably going to have to give up living in the greatest city in the world eventually and go live in a you know in whatever kind of bunker not the same bunker but the similar bunker to whatever bunker trace is in right now but you know what the bunker you know it looks like a cozy bunker i'll give you that when you're running out of canned food who are you gonna go yeah you're gonna i'm gonna be the guy in the book of eli the uh the tom waits character i'll be selling you batteries for your walkman and we have chickens i think we've discussed this ones before but we have uh we do raise chickens for eggs a set well this this um well we we're going to need a a compare and contrast chicken update but this to my point i i was talking to someone about chickens the other day and i said without even trying i can name five people who raised chickens just looking through my phone and tracy you're not on my phone interest of full disclosure to anyone watching yet yet i feel like we could get there but you would be at least the sixth person i know unless frank also raises chickens um i i i do not i am a um a uh a supporter of the uh purdue company and uh i buy their stuff and i i eat chicken frequently because since my um uh since i haven't gone vegetarian yet i don't know if i ever will but since my heart surgery you know i avoid um red meat and stuff like that that and chicken is from what i understand is lower in cholesterol so i eat a lot of chicken actually but but none of trace's chickens trace also i know i don't know in fact i know that trace does eat chicken but he doesn't eat his chickens no no no no we have a little ceremony and take a grave for the chicken that was a pet for years but yeah and then we'll say a prayer over the scraped plate into the waste bay you know uh we've had chickens live for 10 years wow really yeah just dug a hole for a nine-year-old uh chicken and yeah uh they get a ted they're not stupid people think chickens are stupid they're not stupid they know what to do yeah they kind of got it figured out yeah yeah they know how to be chickens how long was she uh how long was she a layer uh oh this is real we've gone inside baseball we have lingo i'm assuming that's lingo i feel like i know what you mean but
a layer uh yeah you know they'll still straggle on to the very end but the three to four early years are the most productive or they're really putting out yeah i'm only in year one here they were oh so you i i think you you you raised chickens too right i think i over heard a conversation earlier before we came on yeah yeah we got chickens out here we got an eight so
what's that um i mean emma now or outside of the city it's not too deep in the country but it's western new jersey have you ever been to rahway trace it sounds familiar rahway is the gateway to western new jersey yeah which is where yeah i promise like if i'm in pennsylvania i'd drive through there to get to yeah actually i'm closer to i'm only half hour from the delaware river pennsylvania so you guys are all east coast yeah so i'm currently for just a few more days and then i'm returning in new york friday but i'm in ohio right now ohio and you're you're in minnesota correct minnesota yeah that's the crime capital of the world only it's the end it really is just yeah just and uh uh
nothing to say nothing to say you got you gave us trump we're gonna we have to get on the board somehow so uh we had michelle bachmann that was pretty good that was good oh i forgot about michelle bachman yeah that was and then you guys have trump you did you won you guys you guys have a lot of good youth hockey programs to focus on this yes you have uh where a dime do you ever get out to edina am i saying that right yes i've been yeah we when i lived there many many edina was very near where we made uh mystery science theater yes 2000 yes eden prairie oh wow that's where we did it the dino was right next door
edina in the when i was doing stand-up comedy in minneapolis edina was the like yuppie punch line yeah it was the game you would reference edina if you wanted if you were doing crowd wrap or whatever and you wanted to make fun of the people being upper crusters ooh i'm from a dino well excuse me you know oh i didn't know that like yes it's it's it's consi back then at least it was considered kind of the fancy place to live in minnesota in many i think it still is pretty much expensive you know you know not quite outer ring urban suburban or whatever they call it a lot of country club kind of stuff i do a summer share out there in edina oh you do i do a summer share out there every every every fall a booth of what a summer show it's just you know it's just uh to shack really just go out and hang out in edina for in the when the weather's nice is that it yeah yeah just take it in yeah i got a elvira from minnesota on the phone you want to talk to him since it's oh wow well you have a minnesota call the call is coming from inside the state hello how are you fine fine folks how are you hello um it's tense here in minnesota uh it's kind of weird seeing national guard tanks blocking up and slowing up the traffic so it felt like driving in pre-pandemic levels again so yeah it's crazy though now
but are you in the city are you in minneapolis i also have chicken rigging uh history and here's some ancient history on chickens on how we first domesticated them and it's linked to the 50 cycle blooms of bamboo what would happen is every 50 years these bamboo trees would grow to their maximum height and then they would shed just billions of seeds all over and the red jungle fowl would come out and just gorge itself on these seeds for a while and then the early uh early man kind of looked at it goes wait if we feed these chickens they just get fat so they grabbed them and then just fed them and got got them fat real fit quick and that's how we got the domesticated chicken that's a good plan i call [ __ ] on all that
well that's why i got a time machine and we're gonna go back and we're gonna get some red jungle foul i don't know all right well thank you alvirah i want to say i i i uh uh frank and trace i want to say thank you so much for all that you've done to make our lives better uh yes okay was was this was the show that i grew up with uh me and my first girlfriend would play it on the background and the things that happened in the background of you guys talking uh changed me and made me the person i am to this day awesome well thank you well thank you thank you yeah thank you what show did you watch with your second girlfriend yeah i did didn't did you notice how he said yeah he puts it out there right away that he's had more than one girlfriend like just bragging out of the gate i would lead with that i sure i i get it does it bother you uh frank and trace uh if i'm understanding elvira correctly that uh you know he's having i guess sexual activity with you guys on the television am i getting today you know what someone someone should have sexual activity while it would be uh no if if if if he did that while we were on the air i see more power to him you know just remember that when you're not watching us we're looking at you like your cat does
and i don't know if i can i know that watching people have sex is a fetish i don't know if being watched by people having sex can be turned into a fetish but i guess that's what happened yeah a new fetish like you can only have sex while someone else is having sex but also watching you yeah correct that maybe that describes an orgy maybe i don't know i think yeah but it's very specific like you have to make eye contact yeah that's the fetish oh well we can't do that in minnesota then it doesn't count what if the fetish is that you just want to know you're being watched like you could just be sit be reading a book with the understanding that out the window into the next house those people are having sex but you're in watching you read i think everyone in new york has that happened because we're all so yeah that's that's basically new york yeah yeah you know people are watching me from across the courtyard right now masturbating fear or god knows what they're doing we can't we can only speculate well if they're masturbating furiously they then we're over then we're over the quota with me living in this neighborhood
oh boy well thank you elvira you've you've uh
you've raised the bar yes thank you did we lose him oh yeah no i let him go oh you let him go released him into the wild you know well it was good get him don't give him another chance to screw with pooch we we need to mention that you guys are doing a live mads event we haven't mentioned that yet we've been chatting all this time we've got to get the plugs in uh yeah we're tomorrow night at uh at 8 pm with chris producing doing his usual fine job of producing our show tomorrow night we're doing an evening of short films which are really fun to do our fans love them and we love riffing them and um and then our we also have as our special q a guest kevin murphy from also from mystery science theater and from rifftrax and he's an old friend of ours and uh and he's going to be on and and you can go to eventbrite.com and and get the tickets uh type in the mads chris is there anything else i should say to promote it if you uh go to uh you know i'll put the link in the chat but at night a night of shorts3.eventbrite.com we'll bring you right there yeah that's and uh if you get a ticket you'll also be able to download the show so if you can't watch it live you could still like fairness you can still catch it i like that that's cool you put that together right chris there's a sonny bono pot short that must be seen if you you'll remember seeing it when you were in school wait sonny bono is on pot no well yes yes yes it's it's an anti-pod film but he can answer your question yes he is on pot not trying to hide it at all and as he's narrating it it's um it's the epitome of community service is what it looks like of him doing this film it's great it's 19 what 1970 yeah right because i saw it when i was in high school uh in the early 70s so uh yeah that's that's when it would be um have been made he was at the peak of his powers that's pure yeah yeah pure bono or it might have been in the between period because um sonny and bono sonny and cher
were very big in the 60s they had some hits and then they their careers kind of cooled off and what brought them back was their variety show which i don't i forget exactly what year that started but that was kind of a big comeback for them and that brought put them back up on top i thought that's what they were known for i didn't know oh no i always stopped oh before the variety show they had i got you babe and bang bang she shot me down and um they had a few hits um before their variety and their variety show was just like a summer replacement that the network didn't really think was going to be any big deal and then it got really good ratings and then and then they had their their own show from that but they were they were successful before that i'm yeah i'm i guess they would have to be because they didn't they just go don't go handing out variety shows that's the illusion when we're children yeah they live lives before this and actually back in those days too like if you had a pop hit um one of the outgrowths of it was that you'd get a variety show i mean it happened a few times it happened with the captain anteneal um yeah and uh and it ha and the starland vocal band actually had a um a variety show um and i don't know if that was the one that steve martin was on but wasn't wasn't david letterman a part of that or david letterman or steve martin steve martin was a part of a lot of uh early 70s variety shows either as a writer or as a minor cast member he he was part of the ray stevens show at that time too i think not to mention the smothers brothers which was his first big thing from the late 60s and then of course there was the glenn campbell good time honor which we've just blatantly stolen the name for this show from directly from that show it's a great tribute to that show and um i i i watched the glenn campbell show uh every week back when it was on when i was a kid i was a big fan you can still see episodes i believe on to be i think yeah and and it's funny because when i was a kid um glenn campbell just seemed like this like country boy kind of character and it was only later that i realized what a tremendous musician he was he he played with the crew and he's on oh he's on all these great beach boys albums and um and and all these great songs he was a phenomenal musician and also oh yeah maybe the one of the best interpreters of jimmy webb songs you know he he was really really something oh yeah we got a super chat here from uh from elvira who asks what media do you most connect to your awakening i don't i don't know i might need some clarification i don't understand that question i've never i don't think i've i've have an awakening yet yeah i'm not i don't think i i i intend to have mine on my deathbed
oh well i if we could back up we will address the awakening question once we understand it better yeah um no that glenn campbell that reunion album is one of the greatest albums of all time oh with with the reunion of him and jimmy webb or yeah oh yeah yeah the one of all the jimmy webb songs and um yeah and i and uh it's interesting jimmy webb i was reading an interview with him where he's talking about galveston and how he had written it as this anti-war song and then the way glenn campbell did it you know he delivers it with such that it sounds like a it sounds like a pro wars song and he's so he's like it's kind of backfired but it was a big hit a big hit that's what's important um yeah he i actually there's a book i i don't know the author's name but i read it last year it was really it's an entire book about the song wichita linemen and this this guy who wrote the book considers wichita lineman the greatest pop song ever i i wouldn't go that far myself but i think it's a great song but uh that was a song that he wrote and he sent it over to glenn campbell and it wasn't finished there's actually there's actually no bridge in that song he sent it over and he said i'll call you tomorrow and i'll get it finished and by the time he called him back they had already recorded it like they loved it and they just so it's actually like an unfinished song that's it's a classic now that makes sense yeah when you listen to it because it just sort of like it's cycles through and then it just kind of yeah instead of the bridge there's like a guitar solo and then they go back to the uh to the uh verse or the chorus or whatever you you'd call it yeah but um but he's he's a great great songwriter oh yeah amazing and yeah glenn campbell amazing uh yeah musician as you said and great guitar his guitar playing i think he would have been a better choice for hosting the anti-marijuana film but i he would have been convincing because he has that persona where you're like maybe he's not he actually in in this book they talk about the first time he met jimmy webb he he called him a hippie and told him to get a haircut you know oh really yeah so um i think glenn campbell uh would have been more convincing but glenn campbell maybe didn't need to get the community service happening but sonny mono did that would come later yeah in his uh maybe the tanya tucker years yeah he had some some rough times there yeah with his with some substance abuse um wow glenn this is i'm a huge glenn campbell fan so it's a dangerous it's a slippery slope yes maybe that you know we have we talk about this every week how this podcast would probably would really help the ratings if we really specialized it animated about murder or something what if we just made people talk about glenn campbell regardless of their interest in glenn campbell i i would i would listen to that every week for sure and anyone that wasn't already well-versed and glenn campbell would have to go through this the same indoctrination ever like we would start them off like okay uh a lot of people think of him as like the rhinestone cowboy guy and we play and show them how wrong they are anyway i digress we were talking before um the show how last time you guys were on and this became i i believe it was a huge trend in the news for weeks if not months afterwards the fact that ernest borgnine and ethel merman short-lived marriage yes
ended by a dutch oven well documented too you could find articles about it it's amazing i did look at uh i had to go and see if i could find for myself so i wasn't getting fake news and i i just found a lot of things that kind of confirmed what chris well disappointed or so how did i can't remember how did we stumble upon that uh subject i think we were talking about rvs and trace uh mentioned he had watched an rv a video of ernest borgnine touring his right yeah yeah but i don't remember how the dutch oven thing came came off yeah i did not know that that was this i learned and this is why podcasts are valuable because you do learn things
but that i i can't take responsibility for uh oh elvira said he he brought it up oh he brought it up all right that makes sense i believe that actually and he all caps he says and he did not pay a super chat fee for me to say this out loud but he writes you doubted me dave but to be fair i my i come from a place of doubting everything elvira says at first and then i gradually accept it as truth i'm a skeptic i'm an a virus skeptic and eventually i come around and and for months uh whenever anyone would bring up anything even as tangentially connected as a sitcom about the military i would say oh speaking of which did you know ernest bergnoy bergnine and
i'm not sure which military sitcom you might be referring to but i can't help but think of ernest borgnine michael miguel's name right yeah yeah he was uh um the dutch oven episode written by joseph heller of mechanic was great was that his only tv series was mikhail's navy um ernest you know what later in life he was um i think he was like maybe on the single guy with jonathan silverman like playing the doorman or oh i think that's right yeah or so and he he always showed up on on shows he you know he never stopped working for his whole it's on the simpsons that's how i yeah know who he is yeah yeah he's uh he was a great actor you know yeah yeah um won the academy award for marty which is a great movie oh i don't think i've seen that you've never seen marty oh i'm going to recommend it to you right now classic from the 1950s it was a television play written by patty chaiefsky and uh and they made it into a movie and it won best picture and he got best actor and it what it like swept swept the oscars that year very small low budget filmed in new york um terrific movie what's the what's the gist of it not that you need to steal me on it i'm already sold the gist of it is he plays a butcher who lives in the bronx he's a lonely heart he's in his 30s he's never been married everyone is always bugging him we need to get married he goes out to a dance on a saturday night and he meets a girl and um and he develops um a relationship with her that's the whole story that's really that's really what the whole movie is about it's how they uh these two lonely people um um find each other and if if it sounds like a kind of a poignant uh sentimental thing it's exactly what it is it's a very poignant film most people uh cry by the end of it it's really really good now the pressure's on i'm gonna watch it tonight uh yeah it's it's um it's a dutch oven of movies you will cry at the end just like a dutch oven would make you cheer up yes so the tears will come from this as well you know i've got i've got the uh ernest borden rv video queued up if you want to watch maybe like a minute of it i wouldn't enjoy seeing such a thing all right here we go
this could be you frank tour in the country i i love i love rvs p.e anastova and ernest you know the rest and this is where we make up and everything else wash i keep everything in the sink because it's uh as you make turns or go over bumps or whatever it is they can fall off so it's essential that you put them put them away and keep them clean and neat
and here across is the bedroom and uh i'll tell you it's pretty good sleeping too excellent and i've got uh all kinds of banks of lights over there he's got the matching that's right you're gonna need light on at night i can have a light on or i can see alongside and we also have uh have uh burglar alarms on here so that in case any burglars come where you can we will notified by uh burglars are notified by alarm and then of course um we have television sets four and aft got one great big one up there and another one here and in case you get tired of watching uh television you can always put on a a um
take a tape and you got it made mine i like how he explains the most basic of things lights yeah these are over here is lights this is a bed uh we sleep in this how is that how it works that is a long video he takes you from the outside the inside he shows you how he drives yeah yeah and did he does he talk did he was it a thing for him like when he wasn't making a movie to just go on a long rv trip with toby yeah yeah they just uh that's how they traveled that's glamping now i guess they call this what's a glamping glamping glamour glamorous
i love that because i i've never had an rv i've always been fascinated by them and it's the kind of thing
because i love the outdoors and i love nature but but i'm i'm not the idea of roughing it does not appeal to me so what i would love would be to be out in the middle of beautiful nature and beautiful woods and then have an rv with cable and cooking and a comfortable bed and all that stuff that's what you would you would have loved ernest borgnine's rv because it has all that had all that stuff yeah yeah totally bad name he christened it the black hole which was both oh because he was in the black hole right yeah erwolf wasn't he an air wall oh that's right i left that out he was an airwolf a very successful serious jan michael vincent um was the star he he had no memory of being on that show but uh um uh yeah that was like a successful show that ernest borgnine was like the was the side panic or something yeah yeah engineer kind of guy scotty kind of deal gabe from new york oh yeah yeah we oh yeah that's great forgot about that he was working all the way yeah
wasn't he on was he ever on the jeffersons did he make a cameo he might have i don't i don't remember but chris we need to run a check on that yeah
run all the plates in jersey and close the island
huh what uh who is the other who is the guy he's ernest borgnine and jason he was in in across 110th street he's in rocky i believe oh burgess meredith no not burgess meredith bert young she's gonna check on that yep at kyoto as far as i can tell earnest borgnine was never on the jefferson's oh damn it i just burr young that's what i'm thinking of yeah yeah that's what i said it would wouldn't you he's sort of he's he's kind of he's borgnine-esque yeah a little bit a little a little rougher around the edges than uh which is quite an accomplishment to be more rough around the edges than ernest borgnig but yeah when you when you've ended arguably the highest profile marriage in america at the time
gotta give it to him would that would have been though when a marriage to ethel merman that would be where do you go from there yeah that was uh that was a big um i think we talked about last night there was a big punch line of comedians uh back in the day was was their marriage it was it was a it was a comedy premise that people talked about well we certainly uh
a weeks long obsession i i would say at the very least now takes what's good gives gaslighting a new meaning
when now are you guys gearing up oh do you think we're going to be free to go out in the world maybe by fall or something will there be live mads events i'm not asking for an exclusive uh well if people want us for them and it's safe it's a definite possibility i i think both trace and i are very into like wanting it to be completely 100 safe yeah before we go out and do it so i don't you know some people are already going out and doing shows now um but uh i was opening up yeah but i i definitely feel like the fall would be the earliest that something like that would happen yeah we got to see how it shakes out still well the reason i bring it up wouldn't this be the perfect opportunity to realize your rv dreams it would yes it would in fact i've um i've told trace that um one of my plans might be one day to just park either an rv or a uh or a tiny house which tiny house are consid some of them are considered um rvs which by by zoning laws you're you would be allowed to park it on trace's property but that that's like kind of a um a backup plan of mine because one day i'm just gonna i'm just gonna park park a trailer on uh on trace's uh property that happened to my parents a friend of theirs uh left their rv on my parents property and it's been there for like seven years oh really and like they come over all the time and they just never they just leave it there wait so where did where do they live they live i think in newark uh but basically they have a home they have a home they just brought they have because they can they can leave it there for without having to pay a parking fee right is that right yeah yeah it's a little little forward on their part i don't like these people one bit not at all kind of a thing if you leave it for seven years i mean to say leave it for a little while fine seven years that's not cool i have to say i think i would um i think chris's parents owned an rv now is what i think yeah
well they do they bought an rv so now they have two rvs on their property at all times oh no so you this sounds like hell yeah so your your parents their parking lot their driveway is like a trailer park now pretty much basically riffraff what not just people see the thing i like outside
if frank gets the rv you can you can park it on it at tracy's house you can cruise on over to edina for a little while if you want you can mix it up exactly exactly that's uh you know when you're in minnesota you're like let's cruise over to edina and get crazy just to break up today a little bit see let's see what those [ __ ] over in a dino we're up to now i'm just flashing out we're gonna have to we're gonna have to swearing at the people of edina i look bad they can take it they were called the cake eaters when i was uh in school we were the cookie pushers and they were the cake eaters the cake eaters i don't know why we had to define class by baked goods or but that was our thing they were superior they were better people than we were we were hard-working blue-collar folk are you are you from minneapolis proper uh i'm from hopkins which is near edina but hopkins is not western suburb no it's not minneapolis it's it's a western suburb and and hopkins is not a punch line either the way edina is no well it should be damn one if you but but the thing is is if you if you're a comedian at least when i was in minneapolis um if you want to go the opposite of edina uh make fun of a place that's just completely disreputable you would you would use fridly and and only because friday had a funny name is the only reason why that would be the one yeah every town has the funny surrounding like in austin it was flugerville i kept making fun of flugerville because it sounds funny it does now what about now can you go like uh minneapolis pick that's a nice hat where'd you get that over on nicolette
is that will that does that track does that work yes yes all right so i'm literally naming the only street i can think of off the top of my head matt arnold said uh hopkins home of the raspberry festival is that yes yes it is it was called that after i did a show there
and elvira said hopkins was where the mst 3k mail went that's true that's very true probably still goes there because we've got to take kyron off a lot of things was that just like a po box yes yeah we used to go there on our lunch break sometimes to the p.o box and get our get the mail and then get some food and bring it back to the studio and then read our mail which was the only way a fan could communicate with you back back in those dark times mailed in letters
we'll get back there we'll get back there eventually we could we could gonna be uh the postman do you guys still get like letters fan letters mail packages um i got you know when i um when i was sick um uh our friend carolina hidalgo put out a a box a post office box for people to send me uh get well wishes and i got a ton of wow oh that's excellent yeah which i still have i i like i like getting mail yeah me too i i have a friend that sends me she sends me a mail every now and then and um um and and she'll send me like a bunch of clippings from magazines and stuff that she thought were interesting and it's so it's such a throwback i really like it yeah i'll let people write and ask for an address to send something and sometimes they're like do you have like a p.o box and i'm like no i'm going to give you my home address or wherever i am currently because i figure like if anyone did something weird the story i would get out of it as long as i didn't get killed would be worth it
get a new 10 minutes out of it burns burns and things like that heal we have another super chat from joy lynch who says uh in north carolina i'm assuming nc has focused arena i'm not sure what that means though has what flugerville it's another oh oh i guess uh yeah yes okay what's it what's it called again varena that's why yeah oh [ __ ] yeah who knows maybe it's pronounced fucoid varina marina could go any number of ways
take another call sure
call you there gentlemen hello who's this hello
uh it's rob where are you coming from rob connecticut lovely what's happening i mean uh basically the antithesis of it always the sky is a nice cerulean color sometimes but i've got a conundrum because the didactic people out there think uh the epitome of everything they're not really culminating because of the uh the hubris of it all and you know to to juxtapose this all right do you have a list of words in front of you the magnaminous
audience and they ignore the whole motif of everything so i try to obfuscate this to the whole oligarchy
and the whole crowd of people don't see the irony when i try to interpolate it while the masses are using this sort of incision
and i try to you know use some sort of holistic approach
but
ultimately the everyone ends up a little bit facetious and the exponential problems that we're going to face are just the epitome of the problems we face that's like the third the long run oh that was a lovely tribute to norm crosby thank you beautiful i just i just farted bye take care thank you for that transcripts of the show uh we write to you
they actually go to this the same as the p.o box the mystery science uh p.o box it's still probably still getting now
what i always wonder is is when you know when you used to be like send two dollars to this address and you get you know membership card and in in my case a letter from gee lafleur himself um no like i got i i recently got it gila floor the montreal canadiens great released a disco album i know and i believe 1979 and uh my friend greg was kind enough to get me a copy in it was he could send in money to join the gila floor fan club and with that came two letters from ghee and i thought well is this what happens now he's still alive i'm still alive
did you send in the renewal fee no i did i do i mean there's you know well that's you i'm not yeah that's on me he's waiting but that's another thing we've lost with uh i used to know i used to send in for toys like cereal box toys all the time yep i still have i have a clark kent action figure you had to send away for oh wow all deliveries take four to six weeks yeah i'm still the biggest uh uh i've sold the most subscriptions to grit magazine magazine in my town
are you going for the bike or the slot cars the bike the uh the camper you get actually a camper you have to stop was that a for ernest borgnine fans who wanted to work their way up to an rv
yeah it's 350 000 subscriptions you get the rv um it doesn't work now that grid is digital you wait you're you you've you're up to date on grits whereabouts i figure they don't do a hard copy anymore it's just digital probably uh it's just a pdf you get it's a pdf sent sent from a hotmail account yeah
aol um we have just a few minutes left chris yes we need to we need to uh not that they i mean we want to give them the dave hill good time hour spike that comes with anything we promote on this show that bit of promotion what did you say this no longer a bump it's a dave hill spike it's a spike yeah uh on the the um the live mads tomorrow night uh it's gonna be i mean i've watched the show now start to finish twice um i think it's i think it's the best shorts compilation we've done so far it's the third one we've done um the sunny bono marijuana short is just worth worth the price of admission it's perfect such a time capsule and we actually had to cut it down a little bit because it got a little too serious yeah they they had like kind of 12-step meetings and you know with real people with real people and i'm like i can't i can't riff on that they're being sincere they're trying to help themselves i'm going to like look at these stupid but then is sunny bono interacting with them no he narrates it he's he just narrates it and he has he has he's a talking head in it but um and i used emphasis on the word head um and uh he he's he doesn't interact with it with anyone but he narrates and hosts it oh okay i didn't know if he was like like doing like um like nomad land where uh what's the what's the actress's name france francis mcnorman yes yes where she's interacting with the real people no no it's not that scenario they set up in his living room they taped him they were out of there and he did his time yeah he paid his dues to society and he's in this gold like pajama thing this jumpsuit
just because you're sunny i guess we have a super chat question for tracy and frank from jessica kybel who wants to know is there any movie that you could not agree to watch together you and uh frank and trace uh that week i guess a movie uh one of you guys wanted to riff the other maybe oh that's it i i don't know if i think so i don't think we've ever had that case where um where i said we should riff this one and trace is like no um we're usually uh pretty much on the same page about these things you know yeah we by this time in our lives we know which kind of movies work and don't and yeah pretty easy to tell right away and also we're desperate for them so if we find one that's even close we're gonna we're not gonna kill it you know no let's wait for the yeah we're not doing nothing yes exactly public domain is our friend yeah you'd be surprised it's actually a pretty slim selection of public domain movies at work yeah in this context because some of them are just like either you know some of them are too good uh others are just like uh you know it's it's it's a wonderful life was a public domain film for years you know that was too good terrific i don't like this it was in and how you can take something out of public domain well what happened was um the only place you can see it's a wonderful life on tv now is on nbc they show it every year they butcher it they there's ads that run through it there's logos at the bottom of the screen no one should ever watch it under those circumstances but the reason the way nbc got the rights to it is they got the rights to the music oh this and that's yeah that's how they that's how they got exclusive rights to broadcasting oh that's bastards loopholes yeah but for years i think they're one of the because when it's a wonderful life came out it kind of did okay but nobody thought of it as a classic and i think the one of the reasons it became the classic that it is is because it was on tv so often like 20 years ago because it was public domain and so many uh stations showed it and you can see it all the time but that's not the case anymore
you're calling [ __ ] on that can we uh squeeze call let's take one more call call you there hello who's this hey this is mike hey mike where are you calling from oh hey i'm calling from queens um i just want to thank you guys for the show like me and my wife watch it every weekend we really look forward to it just want to say thank you to dave dads and chris for always putting on and to the guests um big fans i just wanted to know if you were fans of cabin boy i love cabin boy and uh thank you for your time with chris yeah that was a movie when it came out it was critically trashed that was a punchline it was a flop yeah and and then i saw it like when it came on cable and i loved it it's because i love chris elliot and if you love chris elliott yeah you're gonna love cabin boy it's exactly his sense of humor and his sensibility and i love that movie yeah it's really funny i haven't seen it i'm in for a treat wait are you are you kidding i i've the one guy that probably never saw it oh wait well this is maybe this is the screening we have to do it's got a it's got an interesting back story to how it got made um i think tim burton was originally yeah tim burton produced it and then he just kind of like walked away from it and left it to uh adam resnick adam resnick yeah um yeah that's one of my favorite movies yeah i'm i'm a fan and and thank you uh for your nice uh message uh caller oh yeah now i'm confusing with him what's it got one more super chat here from elvis let's do a super what would you name a cult devoted to you
who's that who's that from i think
i figured it was elvira but i needed confirmation
i if i can a blanket answer would be for each person is just the our name and then cult
makes sense cult trace cult that's a little lazy though not wouldn't look good on a t-shirt actually what if you want your own cult like in all likelihood it's going to be your own name because that's how egotistical you are anyway in the first place just you raised a good point i got the dez army oh yeah yeah yeah you actually already have your own cult that does army lock it up that's pretty strong well we should ride off into the live stream live cast podcast sunset and uh everyone be sure to watch the maths tomorrow night at eight go to eventbrite for tickets and thank you frank and trace for uh agreeing to join us more than once no one ever no one ever accepts the second invitation thanks for having us it's great to be here thank you yes thank you i know hopefully we'll see you guys in person sometime soon i hope so when it's safe and uh thank you chris thank you dez got it guys and thanks to everyone uh joining us live we're here on youtube every monday at 8 and then the podcast of course every released every friday uh until next time keep up the good work stay hydrated
