Speaker 2 (04:58):
Man, Hey, this is something where I think this is
probably one of the best episodes I've seen in this
first two seasons. It might be rank up there with
my favorite after watching it's very touching. It's very funny
and well done, and it's about the kids go to
get a job and Ward, you know, June, of course,
was very protective because the job is with a carnival

(05:18):
and Ward kind of lets them go to have their
dreams and he says, what and he warns them. He says,
you may not get paid, and of course they get paid.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
In this old horse Nick.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
And it's a very funny but a very touching episode
at the same time. And the last minute of that episode,
when you think everything's all done and it's all fine,
and it is all fine, I'm spoiler alert. It's such
a sweet and wonderful ending. All right, it's worth watching
that last minute when you're home on the thing.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
I've seen it before, but it's been ages since i've
seen it, so I don't remembers the fireman. Oh, if
Guts is in it, we know life is.

a doll man. Let me tell you. He's the best boy.
June looking stunning as always. Yes, this is funny with

They called it a percolator.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
Yep, four cents a day, he says, old man. Oh boy,
that's that's how you get the corner office doing that.
And what did he get for beever? He's got colored pencils.
Colored pencil But I tell you, when you were a kid,
what was I going to get to.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
You're gonna get me a new set of markers and
colored pencils and some extra paper? Yes, too much? About
how many people loved going to the carnival as kids?
I did? You know?

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Occasionally they come in, But I can't imagine my parents
letting me working in the carnival.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Oh yeah, look at them. They're just disgusting. Oh yes,
isn't this where they ought? They offered him like money
to work.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
There, and that's yeah why they got the horse dating right,
They went to work for three days.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Wow, ten bucks. That would have been a lot of money,
a lot of money.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
I would have done anything as a kid to rub
down the horses and do.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
That, sure, or work in a carnival.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
And how we actually used to have like a vegetable
man come around with a horse and wagon, and this
was in the city and he come down and or
the mounted policeman would let us pet the horses and everything.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Carnival food is the best, absolutely, it sure is. You
can't be the A nice deep ride Oreo, a deep ride,
twinkie a funnel and back then it was even a lot.
I'm bad, B said, we had a church bazaar with
the rides. Yeah, we still do that up around here, though.
Carnival season's over though now after labored. We have all
kinds of county fairs here, yeah, tons of them, and

(10:17):
I love them, you love them, and I demolition derbys.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
These kids though, this is so funny. They have to
take a bath because of course they smell like horsemen.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Or hey, Jude, how's it going tonight, Buddies says, how's
it going, fellas? Hope all is good with you guys.
We're doing great, Jude. We're taking a break in between
college football today, absolutely giving them the business. Boy, This

(10:56):
shows you how dated this was.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
That was something that people would do in the twenties
and thirties and forties when he might have been a kid,
you know.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
Yeah, the thirties.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, but you couldn't do that now.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
So what were the washing machines like here in the
late fifties.

Speaker 4 (11:16):
Jesus, they had some that were open the top things
that you would put in and you have to take
the clothes and put them through the electric rollers or
hand roll.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Wow. Then you had, you know, other agitating.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Washers that were just you know, similar to what you
have now, but old fashioned.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah. That's the reason I asked, because he was talking
about how his mom didn't even make He said, they
didn't even make it to the hamper or something. He
just said, because June grabbed their clothes and washed them
that past night. Hey, what's going on, Doug? Doug says,
the look on the face when they hand the money
back and keep the horse. Yeah. Sometimes they literally worked

(11:54):
for peanuts pretty much, that's for sure. Gus the Fireman
is one of my favorite characters, one of all of
our favorite characters here on the show. He said, such
a great one, said his U examine explanation. Gus is great. Yep,
Jude said, we just had the Grande Here Fair and
Center County, largest tent encampment fair in the country. That's neat. Wow.

(12:17):
Washing machines were not like the nice ones today, he said.
My mom had a clothesline to dry everything.

Speaker 5 (12:22):
Yeah, ours was in the winter time. Your pants would
coming frozen. I'd have to cry, your t shirts, everything else.
This is really the scene here, and forgetting you guys,
for jumping back and forth with you on this stuff.
This is a beautiful scene.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
With Ward, how he's taking it's you know, in psychology
to call that the dignity of risk. Letting kids take
a risk. See how go then may get hurt. Yeah,
something may you know, backfire. You don't protect him from everybody.
Nobody's getting triggered here.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
Got my hand caught and a washer roller one time.
Not fun. I bet you absolutely like Grandma still uses
a clothesline. Jeremy said, yes, there's nothing like the smell
of that good sun on it. You know, got it.
Look at the minimalistic We know we mentioned it many
times here on the show. But when you see their
room here, the minimalistic nature. Minimalistic, yeah, minimalistic nature of

(13:19):
everything that they have, how neat organized, is.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Small closet, three dresser or four dressers.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
You know, one sheet on the bed, you know, the
under sheet, the one little blanket. My uncle Frank and
he lived in Brooklyn. He had a horse.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
Down near the beach in Bergen Beach at the stables,
and whenever you go basset the whole they have to
put the saddle in their boots in the outer hallway.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
The whole house smelled like a stable. Everybody will come
in there and say.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Oh my god, he's proud. You can see that they
want to do this work. Yeah, that's a big moment
for a father. This is the old Puritan work ethic.
I remember when I got my first job and with
you and I was a paper out if you remember,
and I had it for three years and you had
told me, You're like, listen, if you need help, occasionally,

(14:15):
I'll help you. But like, this is the responsibility you
have to bear. You have to go out and go
do it, and you made sure that I didn't do it. Yeah,
he would get up on Sundays with me sometimes, but
you were always good about that. You know. Grandpa would
get up on Sundays and sometimes with me and help
me out for Sunday papers because they were big. But
you always told me, like, you'll learn work ethic, You'll
learn how to manage money by saving your money for

(14:37):
your stuff. That's how I bought my first car. And
I remember how proud you are when I would get
up every morning at four or five o'clock in the
morning and you never had to wake me up. It
was a big moment for you as a father. I
was fifteen years old, dressed up in a shirt and tie,
smoking a cigarette. Work.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah, I'm not getting you working in a shoe store
in Bklym, but the best salespeople that you imagine?

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yeah, can you egine? I must have looked like I
was seventeen or whatever. Yeah. Now, if you're hiring a
kid here like this, you know they did child labor
laws on you in some crap like that. You know.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
I got paid a dollar an hour, a dollar an hour,
a dollar an hour and five dollars extra work, you know,
on three hours over on a Wednesday night.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Boy, they look filthy. Here they're coming back. June is
excited their home, but she is ready to see what
the day brought for them.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Now, you know, this is one of these kind of thing.
So I was like, wards, Yeah, I worked for a
dollar an hour.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Yeah, a kind of stuff. But here's a war to
stick in his neck out for them. Yeah. A horse,
the most expensive engine, the most expensive investment. People never realized.
My god, they're nothing but a money pit. Yes, remember
when you were gonna buy one. I actually was gonna

(15:56):
get last. I was gonna, yes, actually gonna a horse. Yes.
We went horseback riding a few weeks ago. We were
in Costa Rico. What it's great. Oh I love horseback riding.
But what a money pit those horses are. You know.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Yeah, I'd be riding horses today, except I must.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
My lower back eats money and ship's work. Jude said,
It's so true. Jude eats money and poops out work.
For sure.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
I have never seen anything relax human beings like a horse, though.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
It's so tranquil, just to go off there on the on,
you know, you go down some you know, just very
serene area. We got to ride on the beach with
the horses. It was so cool. They're such beautiful animals.
I love them.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
I love them to go up in the hills with
them and everything else like that.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
I love it. But it's like you said, they they
eat money and they crap work man, because they are
a money pit. But if you love them, you love them. Oh,
I love them.

Speaker 6 (16:53):
We would go up all the time and just just
go out and hang out with you. Is he doing dishes? No,
he's putting out the dinner. Oh okay, but this is
the weekend. You can talk use he's got his weekend
to outfit on.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Tug makes the good points, says horses and boats people
are never happier than the day they sell them.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Absolutely, and classic cars.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Benji's mom rated out the boys here and now they
found out that the horses in the garage, Well people
would do that. Yeah, they figured. I wonder if his
if they understood this, what would your dad have done
if you brought a horse home. You lived in Brooklyn,
so that wasn't happening. But no, Wow, he's a big horse.
I brought a dog home that I bought. He kept

(17:42):
it and somebody here brought me and bought a dog.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Me for my lovely wife and I happy anniversary as
an anniversary president unasked for. And we had just redone
the whole house with new carpets and at the most
expensive furniture that you could possibly imagine. And this dog
went on a rampage and I moved out two months later,
and he ate up all the carpets. Yeah, and the
brand new, like five thousand dollars carpet she had and

(18:13):
they were these beautiful white ones.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Oh no, they weren't. Sorry, yeah they Oh. And I
moved out two months after, Yes.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
And we had he had the most lovely furniture I
had waited anymore. And he got some his leash caught
his collar, caught in the hereplace thing no, and smashed
everything else.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
He flipped out, he got caught in it and ran
it into there. It was when was a big hit
with my wife. I remember when he did it that morning.
Then we thought we had him cured and he went
in the other room and ate it. Wasn't that when
he ate the wood? Yeah yeah, yeah, oh no, yeah.

(18:57):
While he's trying to play that one off a little bit, Yes,
she does not look happy about this one.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
I see I can identify this episode so much. I
hope you guys can.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
I waited. I hope he likes meat loaf.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
Feaver said, I waited years to be able to pull
my my nice cars in the garage, and then just
we got everything fixed up in brand new garage doors
and everything.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Else like that.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
We got a cat out there that couldn't come in
because of the dog from this guy, and I had
to have all these heaters in the garage.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
What can any long story? Yeah, I never got my
car in there. My mind's still learning there. And I
live in that house for all these years too, so
mine's still aren't in there either. So it's gone down
and it passed down.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Look at when they get up there, everybody's clutching their
robe here.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
You know what the best part is, it's probably not
past midnight there, you know, me and you will be
up tonight till one o'clock in the morning watching the
football game. O'clock. Yeah, we have the one two in
the warning watching the football games and night they're in
bedded on a Saturday night here since about eight o'clock.
I love this? Is he dead? No, they don't know

(20:13):
what's the matter with him. I think I like these
scenes where they wake up ward because every time he's here,
his hair, you know, that slipped back to that he's
got that never moves like, yes, you can probably run
your hands and just run it through. It wouldn't do
anything so much and help you guys. This is everybody.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Everybody who has a mom and dad, who are you
know like this has had some kind of a parakeet
or a bird or a dog, some kind of crap
that the house.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
She says, moved, Jude said, move out. Two months later.
It was given the good luck in your future endeavors.
It might have been it might have been the second
one that he gave me my future endeavors. Let's straight
out there, he said, get out of here for doing
that one.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
You're all very indulgent as these stories make us tell
our life stories.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
And I'm sure you've got a million them, so forgive me.
It's the fun of it. We have done some crazy things, man,
that's the fun of life, right. Yes, never says no
room for our cars either. I think it's kind of
like a common trend with a lot of people. Ever,
we all have these nice garages and barely ever use
them most of the time. Well, I walked out in
the morning.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
It's very cold up here, and I'm freezing part of
my life, freezing my ass off. And I had these
little chairs for the cats in there, uh huh. And
all the cats in the neighborhood were coming, you know,
they eating the food.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
They're all eating the food. They're sitting at you can
see the bulldogs playing poker. I'm freezing my ass.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Stokes, remember the stoke would be there with the cats.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
Yeah. I loved every second of it. I have to
tell you. It was a true story, and I loved
it when I saw it. The said I wouldn't have
taken them out there in a million years. The said,
love hearing the stories. I'm glad. We just like to
keep it casual and fun. Here, guys, ope, she's putting
the coffee on here.

Do you know how great it is to have coffee
from a little percolator like?

Speaker 1 (22:02):
It looks delicious? I am my China cups. Yes, it's great.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Why don't you make me coffee from a percolator? Because

it for you as a kid of somebody that knew
everything like Gus? Was there somebody for you that that

old here though, and the crazy. He's younger than I.
He is younger than you right there, smart realize good,

made later on, this was actually the oil oil.

Speaker 8 (25:06):
I had to put that when I was in the
school walkert from my on my violin. I bet you
have made stuff like shin crazy seeks into some into
the wood and it leads to the most wonderful smell.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
I bet, I bet who's this guy? This guy's from
the you know, a s p c. A.

Speaker 6 (25:25):
Yes, where is it?

Speaker 1 (25:30):
Now? Can you imagine this as a full grown man
walking around on these He's like, you know, he's like
a town worker, misunderstanding. Where is it? He says, I like, order,
how he just looked him? Where's what? It's funny how
the rumor went around the neighborhood that fast.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
Yes, but look at how we the world that we
live in, with the craziness that we see and the
people who absolutely most bizarre things. I mean seriously, not
to not to get into negative things.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
Look at this.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
He's really taking this, this little of town animal warden.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Yeah, like the dog catcher. Yeah. Look, he's got a badge,
she's got a uniform and he's got to listen to him. Yeah,
they're treating him like he's a police officer or something like, yeah,
well he's the animal cop. I guess. Yes. The fine
is substantial. It was probably ten dollars or something like that.

(26:25):
And their law abiding assists. They don't want to find
they don't want a ticket horse for sale, genuine circus
horse intelligence does not eat much to hell them away
to sell them include it. You know.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
I know you guys always you know, make similar comments.
But the wonderful thing about this show is their moral compass.
I hate to keep pointing that out, but my goodness, gracious,
if you want to, you can call it fiction, gobbledygoop,
you can call it corn corny kind of stuff. But
there's people who really feel this way.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
I know I do. With with the squirrels outside and
animals and things like that.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
A million other people. I know this show teaches it's
just good stuff in a corny way. Whatever, it's just
a wonderful way.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
Mister Stan I think we need a segment at the
end of each viewing of stories where John has done
something wrong as a kid. I know you have stories.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Let me tell you, I've got more than you could
possibly imagine.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
It was a good kid. You were a nice kid.
Never got trouble a day in my life. I wouldn't
say that now. Now, see, this is something you don't
see anymore. Twenty five bucks for the horse. Yeah, well

(27:57):
this is what sure. I mean they do have this.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
I'm sure in foreign country or whatever where they have
animals that are old animals and they want to use
them to render them for dog food or for you know,
different kinds of things.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
That's what this guy's planning on doing with it, right. Oh,
he's gonna take them from them to sleep. Yeah, he's
gonna kill him, but make you know, use the parts
for dog food and for glue. Not exactly. M M.
Now can you imagine standing there and taking the animal there?

Speaker 2 (28:30):
I mean, if you, I know all of you have
had to coverish something you better put to sleep or something.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
What a horrific thing.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
But that's real life too, I mean, but they don't
want to do that just for the sake of doing.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
You never want to think about hurting anybody animal like that.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
And this thing, you know, because we've been telling so
many stories, the wonderful subplot on this is that this
horse has had a hard life and the carnivals work
really hard and like you, like an old you know,
like a person who's worked their entire life, like a
guy like me or the people here, old gus. You know,
doesn't the horse deserve to be put out the pasture

(29:05):
be treated okay? Or is he he gets turned into
you know, glue. He's worked hard.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
And Ward and June and the kids get it.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
This is beautiful. This is that beautiful part here.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
Right because I from the city Fine and Ward is
really happy about this. Look at it. Just look how
happy he is here that he doesn't have to put
him to sleep or get fine or whatever.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Just just this is where Fred Rutherford is trying to
say four cents a day, which is a dollar twenty
a month, and uh, you know, old man, old boy,
and here he's got his two kids, and he's trying
to show them.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
All the Uh who's that, Dug said? Reminds me of
the episode Peper collected all the frogs and the guy
came to buy them all, and Beaver keeps and releases
them back in the pond. Yeah, you got it. Look
listening to this part, mister Peyton. Oh see that's good. Yeah,

(30:15):
he found somebody to take him. Well, don't worry about that.
He's got a horse who's just looking at him. There's
wink and everything else like that. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Anyway, if it gets work.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
He's got he's got a place to retire old neck,
just like he deserves. Horses. People they're a lot happier
when they feel useful. Hmm, good point, happier when they
feel Yeah, what do we do with what do we
do with people as they get older? You know? You
put him out to pasture.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Room?

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Oh yeah, very much. I like how he kind of
trumped her on that one a little bit. Yeah, well
you didn't do it in the mean way. No, they
respect one another. She does the same thing to him.
Watch this part here, she's gonna get me kiss here
is noward? You know something, you're a very nice man. Oh,

(31:31):
that's sweet. If you don't cry on this one. Man,
you got no heart awards. Careful with the buck, right,
every penny, but that ten bucks a month for his family,
that was a lot of money. Yeah. Ten friend's saving
about twenty a month on his coffee, but words dropping
that ten spot every month for his for his family.
It's a beautiful, beautiful, it is sweet, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
You were talking.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Exactly.

Speaker 6 (32:00):
I and.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
Tell them we hope he's happy up there.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Do you really think that Billy can make him understand?

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Oh, Billy.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
All right, you gotta believe what you gotta believe. Good episode. Yeah,
I think it's a great tea. Yeah, that was a
really good one. Yeah, it's a it's it's a really
nice one. Good moments to it. You know what what
a what a parent does for their child, you know
the love that they show them, you know.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
What they what what the values that that parents have
and everything else like that and they pass on to
their kids and everything.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
It's it's funny. I'll go over to Aguay all the
time and uh yeah we you know a lot of
people say come on you with.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
Those squirrels and the budgies all the things out there
and the chipmunks and things.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
To me, it's nature's cathedral. I'm not kidding you.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
I go out in the morning, I got squirrels jumping me,
and it's you know, blue Jay's coming down.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
And you know, my.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
Granddaughter John thought I was out there that she couldn't
believe it will just come down, just ready to come
off the table. Now does that cost a lot of
money in peanuts and bird seed and everything, Sure, it's
sure as hell does. But can I tell you something,
I would rather put the money there than in some
make believe collection plate to have somebody give him a
a plane to fly around and say whatever. If you

(33:28):
want to feel good about life and you want to
sit and meditate for a few minutes on wonderful things,
and you know where a lot of those things in
my head.

Come from, not just my parents and.

Those I mean, I'm being dead serious. I'm sorry little yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
That you know it may sound stupid. I mean, if
you know, what are you spending that money on that?

Speaker 1 (33:51):
For?

Speaker 2 (33:52):
No, you don't need to come and see a guy
like me as a psychologist when you're sitting there and
the squirrel comes up and is loving on you in
the blue jay to it's all that, or go to
the bowling alley or do something simple.
