intro on this, all right,here's war he's looking defeated tonight. Yes,
(08:07):
you know what I love about Peacockis that you can just go at
any point in time. I wasjust telling you before this, I always
like to just randomly watch a coupleepisodes of some beaver right. Sometimes it
always puts me in a good sleep, in a good mood. Yes,
(08:28):
look at this Wards. Nobody knowshe's there, and she's always there to
greet him. She's always there togreet him when he comes. Was saying,
I'm sorry, Oh, he's holleringat me and something. He's he's
looking at the mail or the billsor whatever. He's really pissed off.
(08:54):
And I'm gonna walk behind the screenhere because I have to shut off the
air conditioner. I really, Ohyeah, come on, sorry folks at
the air conditioner was a little loudthere for a second. It is a
hot one out here. I'm sureit is where everybody else is warmer here
than it is in Costa Rica.Yeah, it is. Ward's hair looks
(09:22):
longer, it does younger. They'rea little more romantically than your tonight.
It's not as slicked back as itnormally is. Yeah, I was like
you to come up from it isit is in? Which is okay?
(09:45):
With? What is this? Likea pen pal or something? I think
from his camp? Okay, itwas one of his friends from camp or
something. Forgot anything down while he'salways breaking it down, breaking it down.
(10:07):
The interpreter, Amen, what's goingon? How are you my friend?
Great to see? Hello, guys, this is amen. Sign it
in Wayne and let me see ifI say it right? They a ti
John, all right, tell mewhat that means. Amen, Because I'm
my Spanish, I'm relying on afourteen year old to translate for me.
Here soon while he has matured somuch over these first two seasons. Yes,
(10:39):
what about now? What's going ontomorrow? Of course? Wonerful farm?
You love to being on the farmof your grandfather. I liked it,
(11:00):
but I would get homesick, youknow, in the beginning, and
you know they would make you.I was from the city. I didn't
like a lot of brass and stufflike that. I like the animals,
but hi, Rebecca Wilson, shesays, high there. I love to
leave it to Beaver Bunch TV shapeall right, very nice. Rain finally
came in and got it down tothe mid eighties here over ninety five plus
(11:22):
weather every day in Georgia for sure. Oh man, word's giving him to
look like he's like, this mightbe an okay idea. June's given it
(11:45):
that I think this is a badidea thing, But he's got an adventure
going on. It's different fro himto get out for the night or something,
do something different. Oh yeah,will they be in their suits to
travel? You know, we haven'tseen this, but I'm thinking they're going
(12:07):
to be in some good clothes ifthey're going on. Yeah, because we
saw that on train Trip episode thatthey were always jazzed up in their suits
and Beaver had his hair and eyes. Yep. Sure. It's amazing to
me to think too, like justhow much things have changed. Imagine if
you were like going on a busto see a friend now and you came
(12:28):
up to your friend's house wearing asuit. What would they call you?
They call you a creep. Theproblem they give you out the walley because
you're a mental case. Yeah,see what is wrong with this person?
Kathy said, Biaber will take abasketball in his suitcase, but doesn't let
enough they're out. Hey, thanksKathy. He's got to break the necessities
(12:48):
right here. It is at nighttimetoo, and Ward's still got his tie
on. Oh yeah, well he'sbroken down. He put his sweat on
and his tie is opened around theneck just a little bit. Yeah.
Well, you know the first thingI do when I get home from work
is get my work clothes off.You were the same way. Oh yeah,
(13:11):

dressing up in suits and ties ornice dresses or whatever it may be.
I love how many people like it. It means bon voyage, sean,
or good trip to you. Thankyou, sir. I appreciate that,
(13:31):
my friend. It's always afraid.I was always afraid to even take a
city bus as a kid. Briansaid, oh we have, I have
to go every place on the bus. Jeremy says, I would have loved
to have lived in simple times backthen. I agree, Jeremy, simple
times are good times to be backthen. I know it was simple,
but it has complications to it.Sure, I want to live in Beevers
(13:54):
world though. It's a much nicerworld sometimes than what we're experiencing today.
Sometimes. Yeah, Bryan says heloves dressing up. He wears a tide
of work. Absolutely. I wasthe only guy when I was in the
military. I love starts in myuniform. Yeah I did. I always
had a starch shirt from the Chineselaundry and all that kind of stuff.
(14:16):
We'd always do it, and I'dhave the we we had to crease ours
and always I'd always joke and saypeople could shave with mine because I'd starch
it and hairspray. It's so goodon my my creases. There it is.

Ward. Ward might kill him onthis one, oh boy. And look
(20:38):
at the guys wearing a hat onthe bus? Are all men? More
hats? My cousins still live inPanelville, all the other FAMIURE members that
moved to Greenville, South Carolina.Greenels great. I was out there two
years ago for work for a week. Beautiful place. While he's thinking here,
(21:00):
but I don't know what's to think, don't you freak out? I
mean you think, man, Iwould be going right up to the driver
to look forward, to tell himto turn around. Say there he goes
the other passengers calling him because he'san adult and he's responsible even as a
(21:22):
kid. Though, I would thedriver would have to be able to stop
and use a telephone or yeah,I know if they had radio or quick
commercial folks. Yes, I wouldassume they would have had a radio.
Probably, what do you think.I think they would probably have to stop
and make a call, Yeah,and call back to the station or something
like that, that kind of stuff. I don't think they had radios and
maybe not, yeah, because thiswould have been nineteen fifty nine at this
(21:47):
point. Yeah, I mean itwas possible, but I don't see it
wasn't predominant though, right, Likeyour dad was a bus driver, he
was Did they have radios on thebus? No? What if they had
an emergency, what would they do? Well, you see he was for
several years. He was right fromNew York City and you just stop,
you stop the boss. You'd haveto get out. And there were phone
(22:08):
boats every block, gotcha called somebodyin the dispatcher, gotcha and they as
a matter of fact that those werethe next shows. My father had a
surface line dispatcher and stuff like that, and eventually, you know, South
Carolina is a beautiful state. Devah. I lived there for two years,
and you lived right outside of therefor years. Oh yeah, I lived
outside of Acon. Yeah, beautifulspot, very nice. In Augusta.
(22:33):
We had planned I had planned toretire at Belvidte or South Caloria. YEA,
loved it out there. It reallywas a small, little dusty town,
but I loved it. Still isnice. Yeah, yeah. How
did Beaver not realize he's on thewrong bus here, even at his age?
Well, he's you know, that'sthe that's the thing about Beaver.
He's oblivious to a lot. What'sa popular I'll get to that one.
(23:07):
I recognize, ake, Andy,it's a nice spot. What's a popular
crop in your part of New York? We have pecan, peaches in there.
What's a popular crop here? Corn? Yeah, alfalfa, soy,
there's another popular crop up here nowthat they're called Yeah, big time.
They're cultivating cannabis around here in thein the dozens behind me, you know,
(23:32):
Natico gardenscrows it there. Yeah,yeah, I didn't even know that.
Yeah, I didn't even notice that. He said, Beaver is a
bit of a goofball. He sureis a little bit. We need some
Larry Mondelo in this and we didn'tlook at the hat on that woman.
Wow, that is an ugly hat. That's a cow box. What is
that thing that I believe that's calledthe box? Wow, you know that
(23:56):
is a hideous looking one. Idon't know. I didn't think it looked
too bad. But I'm looking atthe sports jacket. I can remember them.
That looks like heavy. It waslike it was a heavy knit tweet.
Yeah, I'm sorry when we getobsessed with the clothing and stuff like
that. It's really fascinating. Alot of this stuff. That's the fun
(24:17):
flashback of the show is when yougo back and look at the different styles
and the different things that are outthere, the wooden banisters, everything else,
the wains coating on the walls,how things work. I say it,
every episode, June looks stunning.Yeah, she's a very beautiful woman.
(24:47):
Ward you gotta look, man,you can't do that. You gotta
look. Word Beaver just rode thetaxi home too, all right? Well,
no, I they must have takenthe You have him in a car,
put him on a bust on ataxi to get home. There's no
way he's lying out of this one. Kah Kathy, I think you've seen
(25:18):
this one a few times. Sheknows everything. I suppose you want a
tip, she's she's she's reading intothis. Good hints he's got. Look
(25:40):
at the cab driver has a cabby'shat on everything else like that, and
he's still got money left. Yeah, here's the lie, Kathy. Yea,
m when's you wis gonna give hima nickel? Wow? He's rich?
(26:04):
Now, good logic on the kidthere. What's the matter of mister?
Don't they pay you for driving yourcab around? Sure? The cabby
looks kind of like a creep too. This guy's a famous character actor.
(26:30):
He looks a little creepy, thoughstill responsible to make sure he gets and
all that stuff as an adult.Should you know? But wow, See,
watching this cold is very interesting.V said, I think the actor
who played the cab driver played inanother episode. Yeah, they they We've
(26:53):
seen that a lot throughout the showwhere they have a lot of the actors
that are playing multiple parts at adifferent points. So I know we've talked
about that. You guys know alot better than I do with a lot
of the actors. Well, thatwas very common in the television. A
lot of people under contract, sothey'd wait a few months. See Brian
(27:14):
said, how can these two takea bus alone at this age? But
then twelve years old, Beaver neededa babysitter. Ll yeah, I know
right, they're sending him hours ona bus. But let's have a like
you said, have a babysitter attwelve sure kah, he says. So
(27:34):
Beaver goes and eats the two sandwichesJune leaves for Wally. Yeah, he's
going to get his food, andhe had a tough time. Jeremy said,
could you imagine if we had someof those prices in today's world?
My dad said, when he wasa kid, a haircut was twenty five
cents. Now it's eighteen dollars.Jeremy, I wish it was eighteen dollars
for me. Well, the mindmumwage was a dollar an hour. Also,
(27:56):
yeah, I got my haircut todayand Mike costs thirty bucks. Man,
that's what Tip put here. Youget a shave and haircut and everything.
Thirty bucks to get a haircut.Nowadays, man, I'll take that
quarter for for a haircut. I'llget my haircut every day for that.
I hear you. People make alot more money. Oh, yeah,
(28:21):
they buy things that are way moreexpensive. Look at Wharton June's house.
He's got the corner office. Helooked at the walls in his house or
anything. He doesn't have any big, elaborate paintings. No, it's very
modest, very modest. Yeah,everything is very modest. They have modest
uh you know, means with everything. You know. The thing about their
house is it doesn't look comfortable though, Oh it does to me. It's
(28:45):
it's a classic retrost. Yeah,that's what you grew up on, you
know. To me, it looksbeautiful and pristine, and it doesn't over
nothing is over stuffed. It's justit's just comfortable. Yeah, clean,
everything's clean. No clutter, there'sno clutter here. How old is mister
Stan mister stant is seventy four?Obviously seventy four, yeah, yeah,
(29:07):
in December seventy four. Yes.Yes. When I was a kid,
we used used to walk to schooltwelve miles. No one actually did used
to walk to school, but itwas two blocks. I was gonna say
twelve miles, no shoes. Ittook five minutes. You could. You
would eat lunch at home and walk, you know back, go back to
(29:27):
school. Hey, Barbara, howare you doing. Nice to see you,
Barbara. V just turned seventy.She said, really, happy birthday,
V. When was your birthday?While he's while he's not talking himself
(29:55):
out of this one, now seethat I can imagine taste is so good
to roast beef sandwich at at thattime, July sixth, Well happy,
(30:21):
that's a great day, you know, right after the fourth of July.
While he is feeling so guilty rightnow as you can. So, they
have no idea that zer Fever nevermade it. He wants to tell his
dad, but he does it.So you and I are a BS and
(30:42):
I've seen this culture. Do theydo they think he's at they do they
think he's in his room? Yeah, they have no idea. I'm sorry,
guys, I think I feel aboutwhat happened to day? Oh boy,
what's the matter? I would flipthough, at this point I would
(31:07):
flip on him. I did HappyBirthday from devra v Amon says, I
know, right, Brian, Yeah, people want to get a comic book.
And then he got word. Lookslike he's ready to just I think
(31:33):
he's going to keep this from uhfrom June. I don't know. That's
a rough one. I don't thinkyou can keep that from her. Yeah,
I guess not. That's a bigone. Ward's got too much honor.
I don't think he'd do that onethat. Hey, Beverly, how
are you wonderful? Nice to seeyou. You. You might be right,
(32:06):
though, maybe he does hide thisfrom you know, I don't know
that this is. They do alot of the inside photography of this and
everything else. I don't know whatyou guys think. This is a really
beautiful. It's always a nice thingabout it. I can picture my dad
there, answers the question what hejust said, He I suppose we gotta
tell mom. He goes, yes, you should tell her. Yep,
yep, he said you can pictureyour dad when you see that. And
(32:29):
many times yeah, quick commercial guys, and then other times not when he
would like flip out and say whathe certainly wasn't Ward cleaver, but a
great guy. Kathy said, Wardbrought them up to tell them anything that
happens. Ward will tell June atanother time. Yeah, you know,
that's a good point, Kathy.That is that's you know, you always
see the Methodist minister and Ward donehere. He's always got a moral and
(32:51):
a lesson always always He's always understanding, you know, but no false,
no false, You're wonderful, anappreciation of Ward or anything else like that.
He just comes around to accept youfor you. It's a great show.
It's a great show to aspire toact a certain way. I think
(33:12):
it's why anybody who has ever seenthis show. Ward Cleaver is the greatest
TV father of all time. Tome, I think he is. Yeah,
I really I I can't see abetter one than Word Cleaver, you
know. I mean, there's somany great ones through the years. I
mean Mike Brady my three, itwas, Bob Saggan on Full House is
(33:32):
another wonderful and Karl Winslow family mattersfor my generation. Jason Seaber Growing Pains.
I can name a millionaire, butnone touch War Cleaver. I think,
uh. I think Andy Griffiths wasclose, very very close. It
sure is a fantastic show, that'sfor sure. Jeremy said, I like
watching you two together, nothing likefather and son time together. Stan as
(33:55):
a better dad than Christian Cage.You you don't know about father. That's
my second father. I'll tell youabout him later on Christian Cage. Christian
Cage is a professional wrestler. Ohmy god, I'm the guy who introduced
him to He picks on all thewrestlers. His fathers are dead in real
life. He did it to LukePerry's I'll tell you about it later.
(34:16):
It's hilarious. I'll show you aclip. He's the father of the year.
You might be substituted. Oh well, these two guys as always have
a beautiful at what a great onewith one another. Oh there's the good
ones right here. I love whereJohn Walton is my favorite TV I remember
(34:38):
you saying that four about John Walton, Barbara, I've never seen the Waltons.
Want to check that out One dayswere wonderful. Beverly says yes,
Ward has my vote, and AndyGriffith absolutely. Kathy's got a great question
here. Do you attribute the bestTV dad to the writing or the acting?
I gotta say both on that,Kathy, because you got to have
(34:59):
great writing. But you can bea great writer and if you don't act
it out the right way that itshould be or be that perfect person to
do it, and it'll it won'tdeliver. Yeah, I think so.
I think I think for the greatfathers in these classic series and things like
that, and there are a lotof the uh to make yeah, to
make them really excuse me, toreally make them the top of the line.
(35:22):
There had to be something unique aboutit. This show is very unique
with the just with the laid backkind of characters. I'm going to go
back to Andy Griffith. Andy Griffith, it was just so. It was
just so unique. And Ron Howardis Opie was just so. And Andy
Griffith. It was a very bigstar from a movie called Facing the Crowd
(35:45):
and also a famous film called NoTime for Sergeants where he repeated in the
liberal of a kind of a countrypumpkin kind of a guy. It was
a very, very very with allcharacters like with this Floyd the barber.
Yeah, and you know otis thetown drunk and like five five Emmys.
Yeah, it would be interesting ifyou guys had shows that you particularly loved
(36:09):
and maybe we took a week andchecked it out. Yeah, we checked
a show out. I'd love toit, you know, and you would
please participate in that of course thatwe say, here's a show that was
like this, Well, let's planon that one when I get back in
a couple of weeks we'll look into. Uh maybe the week after I get
back, we'll look into sometime inAugust, we'll let we'll do a viewer's
(36:29):
choice. I could put a pollup on the Facebook page and we'll let
the viewers choice. Yeah, maybethe courtship of Vetti's father will pick four
or five different series and we'll dothat for sometime in August. It might
be something. Now. Yeah,I know these shows spoiled me in one
way. I mean, I likemodern television and modern I loved All in
the Family for example, which wasoutrageous, and I'd love Sandford and Son.
(36:52):
Oh what a Red Fox? Ohyeah, I could not stand the
Roseanne bar show. I know youhated it. Thought it was the most
just destructive show I've ever seen ontelevision. Yeah, Troy family, Jeremy
said, my dad got me intowrestling too. Uncle Phil is a great
one from Fresh Princely. He's agreat one. He's he's a funny one
too. Bart Beverly's his Walton's alsohard. Absolutely, the Waltons were wonderful.
(37:16):
Kathy says, I think Hugh madea better ward than the guy that
did the pilot. Absolutely, youknow, one hundred percent. What was
that. We were talking about thaton an earlier episode with Brian Hummock,
who had brought it up about that. I forgot the guy's name that he
was talking about that. Yeah,Brian said, Steven Talbot always gives the
(37:37):
writers credit for the brilliant lines andthen leave it to Beaver fan Club.
Yeah, I mean, definitely thewriter's writing. It is a huge part
of course to it. But Iknow you got to act it out right.
Oh, Jeremy's got a great pickhere, Michael Landon on Little House
in the Prairie. Yeah, thatwas a phenomenal. He was amazing and
Highway to Heaven. Oh my god, what an endearing show that is too.
(37:59):
Oh. Absolutely, these guys alwayshad a wonderful cast around them,
to remember, no matter who,the big shows always had wonderful, wonderful
character actors. Everybody's got some greatideas on ones. People are dropping in.
They love the idea of yourers' choice. Yes, so we'll do that
when we come back in two weeks. We'll do a regular episode for Beaver
that week, but I'll announce iton the next show. We'll put up
(38:21):
a poll on the page and youguys can vote for whatever you want.
We'll pick five of the choices.Well, I'll be I think I can
put five choices on the pole,and I'll include the ones that you guys
talked about on there, and thenwe'll find a good episode of it and
we can break it down the weekafter, just for something a little different,
just to check something else out.It'd be a lot of fun.
I haven't seen all these ones too, so I really gott I'm really looking
(38:45):
forward to checking a few of themout because I think it's really cool to
go out and see other things too. Oh yeah, you know. I
mean it's definitely great. So we'lldefinitely be doing that in a few weeks.
Guys, I love the idea,yours choice. I love your's choice
too, imitsas I agree with youJohn Ward being the best father ever.
I mean, it just doesn't there'snobody that touches it to him. To
me, oh, I'm with youon that one. Yeah. I'm a
(39:07):
huge fan of Little House on thePrairie. Diver says it's a great another
just great show I haven't seen inages though, So thank you so much,
Brenda. I appreciate that, Beverly, thank you so much. He
said, you'll be here in twoweeks. All right, guys, Well
we had a blast to night.Yeah, thank you for being so patient
with our stories. Oh what's thefun of it. We all get to
get you know, talk to eachother and chat it through and see about
(39:29):
different things in life. And everybody'sstories are always fun to hear on here.
So I love the ideas. Guys. Hey, I got one quick
thing, a funny story. Ithink we were talking before how I'm always
finding out about Ward with his buttsin his pocket there. And for those
of you who might have joined aslate on, I think it was what
Father's Day or something like that.We got the cigars. Yeah, and
(39:50):
we got these cigars. So I'mpassing these really expensive cigars out. So
I'm liking these cigars. So Igo back to get a couple more with
my wife, and of course II do not smoke anymore, as a
smoker for many years and have don'tvehemently don't smoke at all, don't have
any problems with it. But here'smy wife and she says to me,
she says, do you have apipe anyplace? I said, yeah,
(40:13):
I have I have a pipe.I used to smoke every once in a
while, but I never felt comfortablewith it. I guess I was too
young at the time. And nowthat I'm an old fart, you want
to pull the old pipe out?No, she said, can you can?
You would you mind getting a bagof cherry to No, no,
wait a second, getting a bagof a pouch. She excuse me of
cherry blend, a pipe tobacco andjust smoking a bowl full in the house.
(40:38):
Everyone she doesn't allow any smoke inthe house or anybody anything like that.
But a pipe, she which mymother used to love so well.
I don't know how to. Maybeyou like the smell of certain kinds of
smoke. Most people don't pipe tobacco. Cherry blend is absolutely fitted. She
asked me to fire up a bowlof cherry pipe. All right, yeah,
(41:00):
no, it actually smells wonderful,all right, you know, like
a like an incense candle. Canyou imagine what? So I did one
shot and then I said, nomore for me, I can picture you
with a pipe. Now, I'llcome out with a pipe from now on
the show every once in a whilewith Ry's back up. Trust me,
(41:20):
I won't ever get started smiling,says we love your stories. Thank you.
You must be the only one.No, everybody does. Jerry's is
not bad topic. But do youlike mystery or law shows and the heat
of the night and murder? Shewrote her classics. I do for some
for shows, you know. Iget so much of that from my wife
them every time I'm going to eatsomething for dinner at somebody's like interns out
(41:45):
or something like that. And I'veworked in hospital studies my entire life,
and yeah, all that stuff.It's like, I like them pretty much.
But I like a historical dr Ilike the Last King. Oh yeah,
Vikings, Valhalla and stuff like that. Much different than leaving to Beaver
a little bit. Oh, Briansaid, my dad smoked a pipe when
I was a kid. Yeah,I remember for a pipe's Joe Garfield,
(42:07):
Oh always for Joe, God resthis soul. Charles Ingalls was the best
father, next Award great one.When was the last time you saw someone
smoke a pipe? I can't evenremember, Brian. You'll do it on
the show next time. I'll fireyou didn't bother, No, it's actually
quite endearing. I hate the smellof it. So but your house so
(42:30):
a little bit. Let's see aimand say good night gentlemen, and bien
the t one. Let me sayuh grass me and ego am. That's
about the most no, Jeremy said. My great grandfather used to dry out
redman chee and put it in apipe. I used to chew tobacco,
(42:57):
so I can't say with that.And it used to discuss him when I
would do it, so i'd havemy spip bottle. That's another story.

always puts me in a good sleep, in a good mood. Yes,
(08:28):
look at this Wards. Nobody knowshe's there, and she's always there to
greet him. She's always there togreet him when he comes. Was saying,
I'm sorry, Oh, he's holleringat me and something. He's he's
looking at the mail or the billsor whatever. He's really pissed off.
(08:54):
And I'm gonna walk behind the screenhere because I have to shut off the
air conditioner. I really, Ohyeah, come on, sorry folks at
the air conditioner was a little loudthere for a second. It is a
hot one out here. I'm sureit is where everybody else is warmer here
than it is in Costa Rica.Yeah, it is. Ward's hair looks
(09:22):
longer, it does younger. They'rea little more romantically than your tonight.
It's not as slicked back as itnormally is. Yeah, I was like
you to come up from it isit is in? Which is okay?

You love to being on the farmof your grandfather. I liked it,
(11:00):

you know they would make you.I was from the city. I didn't
like a lot of brass and stufflike that. I like the animals,

going on. It's different fro himto get out for the night or something,
do something different. Oh yeah,will they be in their suits to
travel? You know, we haven'tseen this, but I'm thinking they're going
(12:07):
to be in some good clothes ifthey're going on. Yeah, because we
saw that on train Trip episode thatthey were always jazzed up in their suits
and Beaver had his hair and eyes. Yep. Sure. It's amazing to
me to think too, like justhow much things have changed. Imagine if
you were like going on a busto see a friend now and you came

up to your friend's house wearing asuit. What would they call you?
They call you a creep. Theproblem they give you out the walley because
you're a mental case. Yeah,see what is wrong with this person?

(13:31):
my friend. It's always afraid.I was always afraid to even take a
city bus as a kid. Briansaid, oh we have, I have
to go every place on the bus. Jeremy says, I would have loved
to have lived in simple times backthen. I agree, Jeremy, simple
times are good times to be backthen. I know it was simple,
but it has complications to it.Sure, I want to live in Beevers
(13:54):
world though. It's a much nicerworld sometimes than what we're experiencing today.
Sometimes. Yeah, Bryan says heloves dressing up. He wears a tide
of work. Absolutely. I wasthe only guy when I was in the
military. I love starts in myuniform. Yeah I did. I always
had a starch shirt from the Chineselaundry and all that kind of stuff.
(14:16):
We'd always do it, and I'dhave the we we had to crease ours

it and hairspray. It's so goodon my my creases. There it is.

moved to Greenville, South Carolina.Greenels great. I was out there two
years ago for work for a week. Beautiful place. While he's thinking here,
(21:00):
but I don't know what's to think, don't you freak out? I
mean you think, man, Iwould be going right up to the driver
to look forward, to tell himto turn around. Say there he goes
the other passengers calling him because he'san adult and he's responsible even as a
(21:22):
kid. Though, I would thedriver would have to be able to stop
and use a telephone or yeah,I know if they had radio or quick
commercial folks. Yes, I wouldassume they would have had a radio.
Probably, what do you think.I think they would probably have to stop
and make a call, Yeah,and call back to the station or something
like that, that kind of stuff. I don't think they had radios and
maybe not, yeah, because thiswould have been nineteen fifty nine at this
(21:47):
point. Yeah, I mean itwas possible, but I don't see it
wasn't predominant though, right, Likeyour dad was a bus driver, he
was Did they have radios on thebus? No? What if they had
an emergency, what would they do? Well, you see he was for
several years. He was right fromNew York City and you just stop,
you stop the boss. You'd haveto get out. And there were phone
(22:08):
boats every block, gotcha called somebodyin the dispatcher, gotcha and they as
a matter of fact that those werethe next shows. My father had a
surface line dispatcher and stuff like that, and eventually, you know, South
Carolina is a beautiful state. Devah. I lived there for two years,
and you lived right outside of therefor years. Oh yeah, I lived
outside of Acon. Yeah, beautifulspot, very nice. In Augusta.
(22:33):
We had planned I had planned toretire at Belvidte or South Caloria. YEA,
loved it out there. It reallywas a small, little dusty town,
but I loved it. Still isnice. Yeah, yeah. How
did Beaver not realize he's on thewrong bus here, even at his age?
Well, he's you know, that'sthe that's the thing about Beaver.
He's oblivious to a lot. What'sa popular I'll get to that one.
(23:07):
I recognize, ake, Andy,it's a nice spot. What's a popular
crop in your part of New York? We have pecan, peaches in there.
What's a popular crop here? Corn? Yeah, alfalfa, soy,
there's another popular crop up here nowthat they're called Yeah, big time.
They're cultivating cannabis around here in thein the dozens behind me, you know,
(23:32):
Natico gardenscrows it there. Yeah,yeah, I didn't even know that.
Yeah, I didn't even notice that. He said, Beaver is a
bit of a goofball. He sureis a little bit. We need some
Larry Mondelo in this and we didn'tlook at the hat on that woman.
Wow, that is an ugly hat. That's a cow box. What is
that thing that I believe that's calledthe box? Wow, you know that
(23:56):
is a hideous looking one. Idon't know. I didn't think it looked
too bad. But I'm looking atthe sports jacket. I can remember them.
That looks like heavy. It waslike it was a heavy knit tweet.
Yeah, I'm sorry when we getobsessed with the clothing and stuff like
that. It's really fascinating. Alot of this stuff. That's the fun
(24:17):
flashback of the show is when yougo back and look at the different styles
and the different things that are outthere, the wooden banisters, everything else,
the wains coating on the walls,how things work. I say it,
every episode, June looks stunning.Yeah, she's a very beautiful woman.
(24:47):
Ward you gotta look, man,you can't do that. You gotta
look. Word Beaver just rode thetaxi home too, all right? Well,
no, I they must have takenthe You have him in a car,
put him on a bust on ataxi to get home. There's no
way he's lying out of this one. Kah Kathy, I think you've seen
(25:18):
this one a few times. Sheknows everything. I suppose you want a
tip, she's she's she's reading intothis. Good hints he's got. Look
(25:40):
at the cab driver has a cabby'shat on everything else like that, and
he's still got money left. Yeah, here's the lie, Kathy. Yea,
m when's you wis gonna give hima nickel? Wow? He's rich?
(26:04):
Now, good logic on the kidthere. What's the matter of mister?
Don't they pay you for driving yourcab around? Sure? The cabby
looks kind of like a creep too. This guy's a famous character actor.
(26:30):
He looks a little creepy, thoughstill responsible to make sure he gets and
all that stuff as an adult.Should you know? But wow, See,
watching this cold is very interesting.V said, I think the actor
who played the cab driver played inanother episode. Yeah, they they We've
(26:53):
seen that a lot throughout the showwhere they have a lot of the actors
that are playing multiple parts at adifferent points. So I know we've talked
about that. You guys know alot better than I do with a lot
of the actors. Well, thatwas very common in the television. A
lot of people under contract, sothey'd wait a few months. See Brian
(27:14):
said, how can these two takea bus alone at this age? But
then twelve years old, Beaver neededa babysitter. Ll yeah, I know
right, they're sending him hours ona bus. But let's have a like
you said, have a babysitter attwelve sure kah, he says. So
(27:34):
Beaver goes and eats the two sandwichesJune leaves for Wally. Yeah, he's
going to get his food, andhe had a tough time. Jeremy said,
could you imagine if we had someof those prices in today's world?
My dad said, when he wasa kid, a haircut was twenty five
cents. Now it's eighteen dollars.Jeremy, I wish it was eighteen dollars
for me. Well, the mindmumwage was a dollar an hour. Also,
(27:56):
yeah, I got my haircut todayand Mike costs thirty bucks. Man,
that's what Tip put here. Youget a shave and haircut and everything.
Thirty bucks to get a haircut.Nowadays, man, I'll take that
quarter for for a haircut. I'llget my haircut every day for that.
I hear you. People make alot more money. Oh, yeah,
(28:21):
they buy things that are way moreexpensive. Look at Wharton June's house.
He's got the corner office. Helooked at the walls in his house or
anything. He doesn't have any big, elaborate paintings. No, it's very
modest, very modest. Yeah,everything is very modest. They have modest
uh you know, means with everything. You know. The thing about their
house is it doesn't look comfortable though, Oh it does to me. It's
(28:45):
it's a classic retrost. Yeah,that's what you grew up on, you
know. To me, it looksbeautiful and pristine, and it doesn't over
nothing is over stuffed. It's justit's just comfortable. Yeah, clean,
everything's clean. No clutter, there'sno clutter here. How old is mister
Stan mister stant is seventy four?Obviously seventy four, yeah, yeah,
(29:07):
in December seventy four. Yes.Yes. When I was a kid,
we used used to walk to schooltwelve miles. No one actually did used
to walk to school, but itwas two blocks. I was gonna say
twelve miles, no shoes. Ittook five minutes. You could. You
would eat lunch at home and walk, you know back, go back to
(29:27):
school. Hey, Barbara, howare you doing. Nice to see you,
Barbara. V just turned seventy.She said, really, happy birthday,
V. When was your birthday?While he's while he's not talking himself
(29:55):
out of this one, now seethat I can imagine taste is so good
to roast beef sandwich at at thattime, July sixth, Well happy,
(30:21):
that's a great day, you know, right after the fourth of July.
While he is feeling so guilty rightnow as you can. So, they
have no idea that zer Fever nevermade it. He wants to tell his
dad, but he does it.So you and I are a BS and
(30:42):
I've seen this culture. Do theydo they think he's at they do they
think he's in his room? Yeah, they have no idea. I'm sorry,
guys, I think I feel aboutwhat happened to day? Oh boy,
what's the matter? I would flipthough, at this point I would
(31:07):
flip on him. I did HappyBirthday from devra v Amon says, I
know, right, Brian, Yeah, people want to get a comic book.
And then he got word. Lookslike he's ready to just I think
(31:33):
he's going to keep this from uhfrom June. I don't know. That's
a rough one. I don't thinkyou can keep that from her. Yeah,
I guess not. That's a bigone. Ward's got too much honor.
I don't think he'd do that onethat. Hey, Beverly, how
are you wonderful? Nice to seeyou. You. You might be right,
(32:06):
though, maybe he does hide thisfrom you know, I don't know
that this is. They do alot of the inside photography of this and
everything else. I don't know whatyou guys think. This is a really
beautiful. It's always a nice thingabout it. I can picture my dad
there, answers the question what hejust said, He I suppose we gotta
tell mom. He goes, yes, you should tell her. Yep,
yep, he said you can pictureyour dad when you see that. And
(32:29):
many times yeah, quick commercial guys, and then other times not when he
would like flip out and say whathe certainly wasn't Ward cleaver, but a
great guy. Kathy said, Wardbrought them up to tell them anything that
happens. Ward will tell June atanother time. Yeah, you know,
that's a good point, Kathy.That is that's you know, you always
see the Methodist minister and Ward donehere. He's always got a moral and
(32:51):
a lesson always always He's always understanding, you know, but no false,
no false, You're wonderful, anappreciation of Ward or anything else like that.
He just comes around to accept youfor you. It's a great show.
It's a great show to aspire toact a certain way. I think
(33:12):
it's why anybody who has ever seenthis show. Ward Cleaver is the greatest
TV father of all time. Tome, I think he is. Yeah,
I really I I can't see abetter one than Word Cleaver, you
know. I mean, there's somany great ones through the years. I
mean Mike Brady my three, itwas, Bob Saggan on Full House is
(33:32):
another wonderful and Karl Winslow family mattersfor my generation. Jason Seaber Growing Pains.
I can name a millionaire, butnone touch War Cleaver. I think,
uh. I think Andy Griffiths wasclose, very very close. It
sure is a fantastic show, that'sfor sure. Jeremy said, I like
watching you two together, nothing likefather and son time together. Stan as
(33:55):
a better dad than Christian Cage.You you don't know about father. That's
my second father. I'll tell youabout him later on Christian Cage. Christian
Cage is a professional wrestler. Ohmy god, I'm the guy who introduced
him to He picks on all thewrestlers. His fathers are dead in real
life. He did it to LukePerry's I'll tell you about it later.
(34:16):
It's hilarious. I'll show you aclip. He's the father of the year.
You might be substituted. Oh well, these two guys as always have
a beautiful at what a great onewith one another. Oh there's the good
ones right here. I love whereJohn Walton is my favorite TV I remember
(34:38):
you saying that four about John Walton, Barbara, I've never seen the Waltons.
Want to check that out One dayswere wonderful. Beverly says yes,
Ward has my vote, and AndyGriffith absolutely. Kathy's got a great question
here. Do you attribute the bestTV dad to the writing or the acting?
I gotta say both on that,Kathy, because you got to have
(34:59):
great writing. But you can bea great writer and if you don't act
it out the right way that itshould be or be that perfect person to
do it, and it'll it won'tdeliver. Yeah, I think so.
I think I think for the greatfathers in these classic series and things like
that, and there are a lotof the uh to make yeah, to
make them really excuse me, toreally make them the top of the line.
(35:22):
There had to be something unique aboutit. This show is very unique
with the just with the laid backkind of characters. I'm going to go
back to Andy Griffith. Andy Griffith, it was just so. It was
just so unique. And Ron Howardis Opie was just so. And Andy
Griffith. It was a very bigstar from a movie called Facing the Crowd
(35:45):
and also a famous film called NoTime for Sergeants where he repeated in the
liberal of a kind of a countrypumpkin kind of a guy. It was
a very, very very with allcharacters like with this Floyd the barber.
Yeah, and you know otis thetown drunk and like five five Emmys.
Yeah, it would be interesting ifyou guys had shows that you particularly loved
(36:09):
and maybe we took a week andchecked it out. Yeah, we checked
a show out. I'd love toit, you know, and you would
please participate in that of course thatwe say, here's a show that was
like this, Well, let's planon that one when I get back in
a couple of weeks we'll look into. Uh maybe the week after I get
back, we'll look into sometime inAugust, we'll let we'll do a viewer's
(36:29):
choice. I could put a pollup on the Facebook page and we'll let
the viewers choice. Yeah, maybethe courtship of Vetti's father will pick four
or five different series and we'll dothat for sometime in August. It might
be something. Now. Yeah,I know these shows spoiled me in one
way. I mean, I likemodern television and modern I loved All in
the Family for example, which wasoutrageous, and I'd love Sandford and Son.
(36:52):
Oh what a Red Fox? Ohyeah, I could not stand the
Roseanne bar show. I know youhated it. Thought it was the most
just destructive show I've ever seen ontelevision. Yeah, Troy family, Jeremy
said, my dad got me intowrestling too. Uncle Phil is a great
one from Fresh Princely. He's agreat one. He's he's a funny one
too. Bart Beverly's his Walton's alsohard. Absolutely, the Waltons were wonderful.
(37:16):
Kathy says, I think Hugh madea better ward than the guy that
did the pilot. Absolutely, youknow, one hundred percent. What was
that. We were talking about thaton an earlier episode with Brian Hummock,
who had brought it up about that. I forgot the guy's name that he
was talking about that. Yeah,Brian said, Steven Talbot always gives the
(37:37):
writers credit for the brilliant lines andthen leave it to Beaver fan Club.
Yeah, I mean, definitely thewriter's writing. It is a huge part
of course to it. But Iknow you got to act it out right.
Oh, Jeremy's got a great pickhere, Michael Landon on Little House
in the Prairie. Yeah, thatwas a phenomenal. He was amazing and
Highway to Heaven. Oh my god, what an endearing show that is too.
(37:59):
Oh. Absolutely, these guys alwayshad a wonderful cast around them,
to remember, no matter who,the big shows always had wonderful, wonderful
character actors. Everybody's got some greatideas on ones. People are dropping in.
They love the idea of yourers' choice. Yes, so we'll do that
when we come back in two weeks. We'll do a regular episode for Beaver
that week, but I'll announce iton the next show. We'll put up
(38:21):
a poll on the page and youguys can vote for whatever you want.
We'll pick five of the choices.Well, I'll be I think I can
put five choices on the pole,and I'll include the ones that you guys
talked about on there, and thenwe'll find a good episode of it and
we can break it down the weekafter, just for something a little different,
just to check something else out.It'd be a lot of fun.
I haven't seen all these ones too, so I really gott I'm really looking
(38:45):
forward to checking a few of themout because I think it's really cool to
go out and see other things too. Oh yeah, you know. I
mean it's definitely great. So we'lldefinitely be doing that in a few weeks.
Guys, I love the idea,yours choice. I love your's choice
too, imitsas I agree with youJohn Ward being the best father ever.
I mean, it just doesn't there'snobody that touches it to him. To
me, oh, I'm with youon that one. Yeah. I'm a
(39:07):
huge fan of Little House on thePrairie. Diver says it's a great another
just great show I haven't seen inages though, So thank you so much,

(39:29):
different things in life. And everybody'sstories are always fun to hear on here.
So I love the ideas. Guys. Hey, I got one quick
thing, a funny story. Ithink we were talking before how I'm always
finding out about Ward with his buttsin his pocket there. And for those
of you who might have joined aslate on, I think it was what
Father's Day or something like that.We got the cigars. Yeah, and
(39:50):
we got these cigars. So I'mpassing these really expensive cigars out. So
I'm liking these cigars. So Igo back to get a couple more with
my wife, and of course II do not smoke anymore, as a
smoker for many years and have don'tvehemently don't smoke at all, don't have
any problems with it. But here'smy wife and she says to me,
she says, do you have apipe anyplace? I said, yeah,
(40:13):
I have I have a pipe.I used to smoke every once in a
while, but I never felt comfortablewith it. I guess I was too
young at the time. And nowthat I'm an old fart, you want
to pull the old pipe out?No, she said, can you can?
You would you mind getting a bagof cherry to No, no,
wait a second, getting a bagof a pouch. She excuse me of
cherry blend, a pipe tobacco andjust smoking a bowl full in the house.
(40:38):
Everyone she doesn't allow any smoke inthe house or anybody anything like that.
But a pipe, she which mymother used to love so well.
I don't know how to. Maybeyou like the smell of certain kinds of
smoke. Most people don't pipe tobacco. Cherry blend is absolutely fitted. She
asked me to fire up a bowlof cherry pipe. All right, yeah,
(41:00):
no, it actually smells wonderful,all right, you know, like
a like an incense candle. Canyou imagine what? So I did one
shot and then I said, nomore for me, I can picture you
with a pipe. Now, I'llcome out with a pipe from now on
the show every once in a whilewith Ry's back up. Trust me,
(41:20):
I won't ever get started smiling,says we love your stories. Thank you.
You must be the only one.No, everybody does. Jerry's is
not bad topic. But do youlike mystery or law shows and the heat
of the night and murder? Shewrote her classics. I do for some
for shows, you know. Iget so much of that from my wife
them every time I'm going to eatsomething for dinner at somebody's like interns out
(41:45):
or something like that. And I'veworked in hospital studies my entire life,
and yeah, all that stuff.It's like, I like them pretty much.
But I like a historical dr Ilike the Last King. Oh yeah,
Vikings, Valhalla and stuff like that. Much different than leaving to Beaver
a little bit. Oh, Briansaid, my dad smoked a pipe when
I was a kid. Yeah,I remember for a pipe's Joe Garfield,
(42:07):
Oh always for Joe, God resthis soul. Charles Ingalls was the best
father, next Award great one.When was the last time you saw someone
smoke a pipe? I can't evenremember, Brian. You'll do it on
the show next time. I'll fireyou didn't bother, No, it's actually

(42:57):
