WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.140 Hey, hey, hey, it's Chaos Queen here, and you're 00:00:03.140 --> 00:00:05.879 listening to the Geekcast Radio Network. Hey, 00:00:05.900 --> 00:00:08.419 it's Mistress Carrie, and you are listening to 00:00:08.419 --> 00:00:26.100 Studio 2009. Something I can do for you, Lieutenant? 00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:30.410 No, just... See, the streetlight is broken. I 00:00:30.410 --> 00:00:32.789 bet the kids did that. I remember that's what 00:00:32.789 --> 00:00:35.789 we used to do. Throw rocks, break the streetlight. 00:00:38.030 --> 00:00:40.929 We here at the Geekcast Radio Network of Podcasts 00:00:40.929 --> 00:00:44.609 are here to entertain you. We are into entertaining 00:00:44.609 --> 00:00:47.450 our audience with discussions from media and 00:00:47.450 --> 00:00:50.789 content we love, from TV shows, film, music, 00:00:50.950 --> 00:00:54.710 comics, video games, and more. However, sometimes 00:00:54.710 --> 00:00:58.880 politics creeps into that content. that we consume. 00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:02.320 That's the case here with this episode of Columbo. 00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:06.099 I'm TF2 and Mike, and my personal opinion that 00:01:06.099 --> 00:01:08.159 goes outside of the realm of the Geekcast Radio 00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:11.280 Network and is not sponsored by the Geekcast 00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:13.739 Radio Network in any way is that all politicians 00:01:13.739 --> 00:01:18.030 are corrupt, period, end of line, man. There 00:01:18.030 --> 00:01:20.030 is nothing wrong with your podcast player. Do 00:01:20.030 --> 00:01:22.230 not attempt to adjust the volume. Hello and welcome 00:01:22.230 --> 00:01:25.790 back into our studio. You are now inside Studio 00:01:25.790 --> 00:01:29.109 2009. As you have already heard, I am TF2 and 00:01:29.109 --> 00:01:30.890 Mike. Joining me once again is that good old 00:01:30.890 --> 00:01:33.189 detective, Dave Draper. Hi, Dave. How are you? 00:01:34.689 --> 00:01:37.930 That was not the disclaimer I expected, but okay. 00:01:38.010 --> 00:01:43.620 Hi, I'm fine. What did you expect? given the 00:01:43.620 --> 00:01:46.379 subject matter of the episode, a little more 00:01:46.379 --> 00:01:50.299 specific. But, I mean, we'll get there, I guess. 00:01:50.500 --> 00:01:53.900 Yeah, we'll get there. It's got politics in it, 00:01:53.980 --> 00:02:00.400 folks. It's called... It's just... So, it's weird. 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:03.959 Like, this episode was filmed and created before 00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:08.819 even the Reagan assassination, let alone recent 00:02:08.819 --> 00:02:13.129 events. Yeah. But there is this almost eerie 00:02:13.129 --> 00:02:18.590 prescience to it. And given – let's just say 00:02:18.590 --> 00:02:21.669 half the country will feel that this is a very 00:02:21.669 --> 00:02:23.909 prescient episode, and half the country would 00:02:23.909 --> 00:02:28.270 be like, man, that's just the liberal bias of 00:02:28.270 --> 00:02:31.889 the blah, blah, blah. I mean it's not the first 00:02:31.889 --> 00:02:33.969 time that this sort of story has been told. I 00:02:33.969 --> 00:02:36.729 remember in the 80s or 90s, I think there was 00:02:36.729 --> 00:02:39.430 this – I read the book. I think it was called 00:02:39.430 --> 00:02:43.710 Favorite Son, and they did a miniseries with 00:02:43.710 --> 00:02:45.590 – I can't remember the guy's name, but he was 00:02:45.590 --> 00:02:52.490 in Clash of Titans and LA Law. But anyway, it 00:02:52.490 --> 00:02:57.569 was – so this – introduce the episode. The listener 00:02:57.569 --> 00:03:00.990 will pretty much figure out what we're talking 00:03:00.990 --> 00:03:07.719 about pretty quickly. Yeah, I'm here. I'm here. 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:11.840 Did they get you? No, I'm here. I was trying 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:16.460 to find favorite son. Okay. I can't remember 00:03:16.460 --> 00:03:20.699 the guy's name. Corbin Bernson? No, not Corbin 00:03:20.699 --> 00:03:23.639 Bernson. The other one. The original star of 00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:25.159 L .A. Law. Corbin Bernson was a breakout star. 00:03:26.580 --> 00:03:31.680 Jimmy Smith? Who else was a breakout star of 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:34.930 L .A. Law? This was the anchor guy, particularly 00:03:34.930 --> 00:03:36.770 in the first couple of seasons. Not Susan Day 00:03:36.770 --> 00:03:42.469 either. No, no, no. Yeah, I – not – no, Corbin 00:03:42.469 --> 00:03:46.870 Bernson was Arnie. The old guy. No! Oh, my God. 00:03:47.610 --> 00:03:50.449 I don't know. Anyway. Just introduce the episode 00:03:50.449 --> 00:03:51.810 and I will look it up. Yeah, yeah, I'm working 00:03:51.810 --> 00:03:55.770 on it. Today we do our journey as we put our 00:03:55.770 --> 00:03:59.840 – detective hats on or trench coats or something. 00:03:59.960 --> 00:04:02.479 We put something on. Jump back in time with Columbo. 00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:04.419 These are the Columbo files here inside Studio 00:04:04.419 --> 00:04:07.719 2009. Starting at the beginning, as always, going 00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:12.680 forward in time, through time, in order. Main 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:16.639 source online is 2B .TV, but it is also on Peacock 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:20.399 and other places as well. A really crummy DVD 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:22.980 set. They must have gone with a different company 00:04:22.980 --> 00:04:28.689 because, man, I'm unhappy. Oh, no. Oh, no. So 00:04:28.689 --> 00:04:30.329 they do the cheap thing where like it's a two 00:04:30.329 --> 00:04:34.009 sided DVD. Yeah, that was the old garbage. Yep, 00:04:34.089 --> 00:04:36.529 yep, yep. That was the old days. Today is season 00:04:36.529 --> 00:04:39.189 three, episode three, and we are involved with 00:04:39.189 --> 00:04:44.189 a candidate for crime. Oh, boy. Anytime politics. 00:04:44.689 --> 00:04:47.709 This is why I've never seen the West Wing. And 00:04:47.709 --> 00:04:51.589 it's not I don't do politics. I don't like politics 00:04:51.589 --> 00:04:56.870 in my television. I don't like. political shows. 00:04:57.149 --> 00:05:02.209 I was fine with... Oh, Favorite Son was before 00:05:02.209 --> 00:05:06.589 L .A. Law. I was fine with Winter Soldier because 00:05:06.589 --> 00:05:08.949 it was one movie. It was fine. But TV shows? 00:05:09.149 --> 00:05:14.290 I don't like long -running... L .A. Law I'm fine 00:05:14.290 --> 00:05:16.769 with because it's lawyers. It's not strictly 00:05:16.769 --> 00:05:22.290 politics. But shows that center around politics, 00:05:22.589 --> 00:05:26.790 I just... tune out. Well, West Wing, first of 00:05:26.790 --> 00:05:29.389 all, it's a very good show. I'm not saying it's 00:05:29.389 --> 00:05:31.550 not. I know you're not, but what I'm saying is 00:05:31.550 --> 00:05:33.949 what was interesting about that is that it was 00:05:33.949 --> 00:05:36.750 almost like the fantasy of the president we all 00:05:36.750 --> 00:05:39.730 wanted. You know what I mean? Yeah. And it was. 00:05:40.009 --> 00:05:45.329 It was the president that we all really hoped 00:05:45.329 --> 00:05:51.769 to have someday. Technical difficulties. Let's 00:05:51.769 --> 00:05:54.589 move on, shall we? You were saying? Well, West 00:05:54.589 --> 00:05:58.370 Wing is, I mean, it really kind of is a fantasy 00:05:58.370 --> 00:06:01.970 because everyone's noble. Everyone's doing what 00:06:01.970 --> 00:06:05.129 we want the people in those positions to do. 00:06:05.389 --> 00:06:08.029 Right. And I think the real world is much muddier 00:06:08.029 --> 00:06:11.329 and messier. As I said repeatedly during this 00:06:11.329 --> 00:06:13.769 particular election cycle, people don't get to 00:06:13.769 --> 00:06:16.529 that level and be clean. You know what I mean? 00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:19.639 You don't get to run for that kind of office 00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:25.060 and still have your morals and your – you compromise 00:06:25.060 --> 00:06:28.180 somewhere along the way. Right. This one is – 00:06:28.180 --> 00:06:33.879 and the thing we're dancing around – so the premise 00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:40.839 is that Jackie Coogan, right? Cooper. It's so 00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:44.680 funny. Jackie Coogan, he's a – Perry White in 00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.279 the Superman films. Yeah, that's what's so funny 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:49.480 to me. I'm like, I looked at his name like Jackie 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:53.019 Cooper as Nelson Hayward. I'm like. No, it's 00:06:53.019 --> 00:06:56.720 Cooper. Is it Cooper? Yeah, it's Cooper. Yeah, 00:06:56.779 --> 00:06:58.420 I'm looking at it right now. Jackie Cooper. I 00:06:58.420 --> 00:07:01.600 believe you. Yep. Yeah, Jackie Cooper. I'm like, 00:07:01.699 --> 00:07:04.360 wait a minute. I know that. That's Perry White 00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:07.839 in the Superman movies. He was also, I believe 00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:10.500 he was the kid in the Charlie Chaplin film, The 00:07:10.500 --> 00:07:14.339 Kid. Oh, very cool. Well, at this point, if I'm 00:07:14.339 --> 00:07:17.439 getting the name wrong, I might... I thought 00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:21.959 that was the deal. Because he was an old, old... 00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:25.259 Oh, he was Cooper. Who am I? I guess. I'm stupid. 00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:30.680 Jackie Cooper is probably somebody else. I am 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:32.839 not quite old enough to have starred in a Charlie 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:37.439 Chaplin film, but... Pretty close. But yeah, 00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:40.360 as I remember, he was an old child star who kind 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:43.399 of got a second bite. Anyway, he's... He's playing 00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:47.819 a guy named Hanlon, which is – well, I'll mention 00:07:47.819 --> 00:07:49.399 that in the next episode, actually. There's a 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:51.740 reference. There's continuity. It's the Columbo 00:07:51.740 --> 00:07:53.920 Cinematic Universe. Yes. I was really excited 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:56.379 about that. Yes. But he's playing a guy who's 00:07:56.379 --> 00:08:00.300 running for Senate of California. Nelson Hayward, 00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:04.120 yep. He's Nelson Hayward, and he's having an 00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:09.300 affair with his wife's assistant, and his campaign 00:08:09.300 --> 00:08:12.800 manager wants him to break that up. And so he 00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:19.199 basically fakes death threats, although – now 00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:23.480 keep in mind this is in the early 70s. This is 00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:25.779 after Kennedy. This is after the other Kennedy 00:08:25.779 --> 00:08:31.259 who died in California. I could be wrong. This 00:08:31.259 --> 00:08:33.179 is after Martin Luther King. This is after several 00:08:33.179 --> 00:08:36.120 high -profile political assassinations. I think 00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:40.350 that's the context of this episode. per se um 00:08:40.350 --> 00:08:44.149 so he's he's but he's faking these threats and 00:08:44.149 --> 00:08:49.330 he manipulates events so that his campaign manager 00:08:49.330 --> 00:08:53.309 is dressed in his camel hair jacket and goes 00:08:53.309 --> 00:08:57.850 to his house and he kills him now one of my biggest 00:08:57.850 --> 00:09:00.090 issues with this episode i mean they established 00:09:00.090 --> 00:09:01.990 that the guy is not very popular the campaign 00:09:01.990 --> 00:09:05.970 manager is an unlikable guy but like I think 00:09:05.970 --> 00:09:08.350 this has the least motivation of any Columbo 00:09:08.350 --> 00:09:10.789 killing – I mean established, like explained. 00:09:11.769 --> 00:09:14.129 Usually it's pretty obvious why they're doing 00:09:14.129 --> 00:09:17.090 what they're doing. Yeah. I would say maybe 30%, 00:09:17.090 --> 00:09:19.509 40 % of the time it's almost sympathetic. Yep. 00:09:19.710 --> 00:09:22.409 Whereas this one, it's like you don't like him. 00:09:22.429 --> 00:09:27.389 Okay. He wants to break you – like he wants to 00:09:27.389 --> 00:09:29.750 – this is back before Clinton where you could 00:09:29.750 --> 00:09:33.769 just do what you want. Yeah. I don't know. It 00:09:33.769 --> 00:09:38.830 was the least. motivated killing so far yeah 00:09:38.830 --> 00:09:41.169 but he gets caught up in like a whole bunch of 00:09:41.169 --> 00:09:44.250 but the the fact that it's a political assassination 00:09:44.250 --> 00:09:47.970 uh i is is is why i thought we were gonna kind 00:09:47.970 --> 00:09:52.009 of pussyfoot around a little bit because we were 00:09:52.009 --> 00:09:55.370 recording this in this is like like what well 00:09:55.370 --> 00:09:57.350 actually it happened what during the summer point 00:09:57.350 --> 00:09:59.110 being there was an assassination attempt on the 00:10:02.909 --> 00:10:05.289 The whole question, there is a question in the 00:10:05.289 --> 00:10:09.090 country whether it was real or not. Yeah. That 00:10:09.090 --> 00:10:11.409 was the point of Favorite Son was that the guy 00:10:11.409 --> 00:10:13.389 was running, I think, for president, and he actually 00:10:13.389 --> 00:10:16.870 has a guy shoot him. And someone finds out that 00:10:16.870 --> 00:10:19.370 the whole thing was staged. It was a staged thing. 00:10:19.610 --> 00:10:22.389 No, it's Harry Hamlin, by the way. Oh, yeah. 00:10:23.129 --> 00:10:27.629 Harry Hamlin. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I 00:10:27.629 --> 00:10:29.389 remember. Okay. As opposed to the Puppet Birds 00:10:29.389 --> 00:10:34.679 in Clash of Titans. Anyway. Point being, I think 00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:37.460 we're kind of like, you know, you're going to 00:10:37.460 --> 00:10:38.840 get in trouble. I feel like you're going to get 00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:40.799 in trouble whether you go one way or the other 00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:42.980 with what happened in real life, which is why 00:10:42.980 --> 00:10:44.700 I think we're a little, which is why you want 00:10:44.700 --> 00:10:47.000 to avoid politics in general. And I'm kind of 00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:50.700 like, this is a little twitchy. This is the context 00:10:50.700 --> 00:10:54.179 of the show. Yeah, it's the context of this episode. 00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:59.240 I don't think Columbo has many. killing episodes? 00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:03.379 I think this is the only one. Okay, good. Then 00:11:03.379 --> 00:11:07.139 we're safe. I mean, the only one out of X number 00:11:07.139 --> 00:11:09.960 of episodes of the entire series, including the 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.539 reboots and the redos and the... Okay, but I'm 00:11:13.539 --> 00:11:18.080 saying, like, I'll look it up later. Yeah, fine, 00:11:18.340 --> 00:11:20.700 but I'm saying, like, I'll look it up when we 00:11:20.700 --> 00:11:23.019 go to break later, but I'm just saying, like, 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:24.720 one episode... Yeah, I think this is the only 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:27.690 one where a candidate... Stages a fake assassination 00:11:27.690 --> 00:11:30.970 attempt. Yeah. I think we're safe. It's okay. 00:11:31.169 --> 00:11:34.470 Well, yeah. Like, it's, you know, whatever. And 00:11:34.470 --> 00:11:37.850 honestly, like, I remember that whole thing that 00:11:37.850 --> 00:11:40.549 happened that you're referring to with the current 00:11:40.549 --> 00:11:47.149 president that we have. And I'm like, oh, yeah, 00:11:47.230 --> 00:11:50.889 I don't know what to think about. I remember 00:11:50.889 --> 00:11:53.970 all the upheaval. When that happened, where it's 00:11:53.970 --> 00:11:57.250 like, oh my god. I remember seeing all the news 00:11:57.250 --> 00:11:59.809 footage of everybody just running. That's all 00:11:59.809 --> 00:12:03.049 I remember. Because I remember the news today, 00:12:03.149 --> 00:12:05.970 you can't trust it because everybody has an agenda. 00:12:07.029 --> 00:12:11.590 Yeah, that is true. Granted, not that the news 00:12:11.590 --> 00:12:15.120 didn't have an agenda. 30, 40, 50 years ago, 00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:18.500 but it's more pronounced now. It's more obvious 00:12:18.500 --> 00:12:22.080 now that every single news station in this United 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:26.360 States of ours has a specific agenda. Like, we 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:29.740 know certain news channels are certain parties. 00:12:29.820 --> 00:12:33.200 Certain news channels. I think the trick, for 00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:35.720 me, the trick with news these days is like movie 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:40.139 reviews. You go into it knowing their bias and 00:12:40.139 --> 00:12:42.779 accepting that they have a bias. And you view 00:12:42.779 --> 00:12:44.700 it through that filter because I think you get 00:12:44.700 --> 00:12:46.360 yourself in trouble if you're like, well, my 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:49.200 guys only tell the truth because that's the perfect 00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:51.419 way to get lied to and manipulated is if you 00:12:51.419 --> 00:12:53.179 just accept that one side is true and one side 00:12:53.179 --> 00:12:58.460 is false. Because that's never the way. God, 00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:01.159 it's actually a quote from the guy, and I don't 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:04.759 want to make it, but to quote George Lucas, episode 00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:10.399 three, there are heroes on both sides. Well, 00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:14.220 it is the third episode's 20th anniversary this 00:13:14.220 --> 00:13:19.000 year, so why not celebrate it? I mean, on a side 00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:21.820 note, the news broke this week that maybe we 00:13:21.820 --> 00:13:26.740 might get rid of Kathleen Kennedy finally. No, 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:29.500 she's gone. No, she's not gone. She was going 00:13:29.500 --> 00:13:30.960 to leave at the end of the year, and now there's 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.379 rumors that she might stay on just to punish 00:13:33.379 --> 00:13:38.460 us. What? Yeah, I've heard. No, I thought the 00:13:38.460 --> 00:13:42.299 news was out that she left. It was, it was, she 00:13:42.299 --> 00:13:46.460 didn't leave. The news was, I don't know, it 00:13:46.460 --> 00:13:50.240 leaked that she was going to. Oh. She didn't 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:52.580 formally announce it. The suspicion is she wanted 00:13:52.580 --> 00:13:56.220 to announce it at Celebration Japan or whatever. 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.639 Celebrate. Hey, man, Star Wars used to be worth 00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:05.769 celebrating. No, no, no, no, no. What I'm scoffing 00:14:05.769 --> 00:14:09.110 at is Celebration Japan. It's not the celebration 00:14:09.110 --> 00:14:13.490 part. It's the Japan part. Japanese aren't allowed 00:14:13.490 --> 00:14:16.850 to like Star Wars? No, no, no, no. It's not about 00:14:16.850 --> 00:14:19.330 the Japanese aren't allowed to like Star Wars. 00:14:19.409 --> 00:14:22.309 It's about the fact that how much is a ticket 00:14:22.309 --> 00:14:25.830 to Japan? We can't afford that. Okay, how much 00:14:25.830 --> 00:14:28.759 is a ticket to America? They can't afford that, 00:14:28.860 --> 00:14:32.039 but that's the point, is that it's so dang expensive 00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:35.220 to go to any of these dang conventions. This 00:14:35.220 --> 00:14:37.620 is a topic for a different day, not for Columbo, 00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:40.879 but yeah, I'm still scrolling to see if I can 00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:43.940 find a more accurate news source for Kennedy 00:14:43.940 --> 00:14:50.570 and her. Yeah, Kennedy and her. Oh, dude. Oh, 00:14:50.669 --> 00:14:54.509 Kathleen. Kathleen. I'm getting all tripped up 00:14:54.509 --> 00:15:01.169 in my brain. Do you watch Clownfish? Not really. 00:15:01.389 --> 00:15:05.269 Okay. Time to time. Okay. Well, all of the videos 00:15:05.269 --> 00:15:07.409 that I've seen them put out talking about this, 00:15:07.610 --> 00:15:10.289 talking about Kathleen Kennedy potentially leaving 00:15:10.289 --> 00:15:13.950 or hopefully leaving, every thumbnail for them. 00:15:14.830 --> 00:15:23.049 What they use to describe it is K .K. I don't 00:15:23.049 --> 00:15:27.809 know what you mean by that exactly. I honestly 00:15:27.809 --> 00:15:30.610 don't. It's just her initials because it's Kathleen 00:15:30.610 --> 00:15:34.029 Kennedy, but they use K .K. Well, I mean, I've 00:15:34.029 --> 00:15:37.049 seen thumbnails with Wizard of Oz, Ding Dong, 00:15:37.090 --> 00:15:39.950 The Witch is Dead. I'm sure a couple of them 00:15:39.950 --> 00:15:43.389 have played that. I've seen the Cartman. I've 00:15:43.389 --> 00:15:45.350 seen the carbon clip like a dozen times now, 00:15:45.490 --> 00:15:48.110 but a chicken air maker gate, you know, like 00:15:48.110 --> 00:15:52.470 they just, I don't know. I think it's always 00:15:52.470 --> 00:15:54.429 been a mistake to make it personal for me. It's 00:15:54.429 --> 00:15:57.009 just like, she has done a poor job managing the 00:15:57.009 --> 00:16:00.289 brands. Absolutely. She should have been gone 00:16:00.289 --> 00:16:02.950 a while ago. Yeah. They should have put Filoni 00:16:02.950 --> 00:16:09.230 and Favreau in charge immediately. Not immediately, 00:16:09.250 --> 00:16:12.740 but I mean, not immediately because of her. I 00:16:12.740 --> 00:16:16.799 think Lucas recommended her. She was in a co 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:22.080 -role with Lucas before he sold it. She had the 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:26.379 resume. Particularly Solo. I think Solo was the 00:16:26.379 --> 00:16:29.200 tipping point. All this is completely relevant 00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:31.320 to the episode of Columbo. But Solo was the tipping 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:33.240 point because I think the production was a problem 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.039 and the results were a problem. And I think anyone 00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:40.919 else would have been quietly shown the door. 00:16:41.450 --> 00:16:44.690 Yeah, probably. But heaven forbid, George Lucas' 00:16:44.889 --> 00:16:47.870 secretary never be shown the door. No, she was 00:16:47.870 --> 00:16:52.149 more Spielberg's. Oh, okay, whatever. I'm sorry, 00:16:52.330 --> 00:16:58.230 accuracy. So it's funny that before I even played 00:16:58.230 --> 00:17:01.879 the episode, Candidate for Crime. I didn't read 00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:04.200 the Wikipedia article, but I had pulled it up 00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:06.839 at the same time as I pulled up the episode on 00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:09.680 Tubi. And the first thing I saw right before 00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:14.819 I switched over was Harry Stone. Just the name. 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:19.460 Oh, yeah. Didn't even. First thought was, wait 00:17:19.460 --> 00:17:22.400 a minute. What's Judge Harry Stone from Night 00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:30.680 Court doing in Columbo? I missed that. I think 00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:33.200 he. Yeah, he did pass away. Yeah, that's what 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:39.480 I thought. I miss that guy. As we often say, 00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:41.940 folks, we record two of these at a time. Out 00:17:41.940 --> 00:17:44.519 of the two episodes, this is my lead. This one 00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:46.599 might actually get my lowest score out of all 00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:49.599 of the Columbos we've done. I did not have any 00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:52.140 interest in this episode whatsoever. You're right. 00:17:52.220 --> 00:17:57.799 This took the longest and most undeliberate time 00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:04.269 to actually kill someone. Like, really? For me, 00:18:04.269 --> 00:18:07.450 it was more like I still, by the end of the episode, 00:18:07.569 --> 00:18:10.630 I don't know why he did it. Yeah, just because 00:18:10.630 --> 00:18:13.190 he disliked him for no... Because the guy had 00:18:13.190 --> 00:18:17.970 been with him his whole career. Yeah. It was 00:18:17.970 --> 00:18:21.029 sort of implied it was to keep the girlfriend? 00:18:22.009 --> 00:18:25.529 Yeah. At the end of the day, that's what it really 00:18:25.529 --> 00:18:28.849 was. But at the same time, it's like, that's 00:18:28.849 --> 00:18:33.490 still... Not enough because that's probably not 00:18:33.490 --> 00:18:36.250 his first girlfriend. Oh, no. I mean, it was 00:18:36.250 --> 00:18:39.289 implied that they literally say that the marriage 00:18:39.289 --> 00:18:42.349 is on the rocks to begin with. Yeah. Oh, my God. 00:18:42.410 --> 00:18:45.549 His wife. Is it this episode or is it the next 00:18:45.549 --> 00:18:49.710 one? One of the wives in these episodes. It has 00:18:49.710 --> 00:18:51.450 to be this one because Robert Culp doesn't have 00:18:51.450 --> 00:18:53.369 a wife. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's this one. I 00:18:53.369 --> 00:18:55.750 think he does, but you never see her. Okay, fine. 00:18:56.410 --> 00:18:59.200 This is the one where. Yeah, because this is 00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:01.039 the one she flirts with Columbo, doesn't she, 00:19:01.059 --> 00:19:06.579 a little bit? I didn't pick up on that. I mean, 00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:08.500 to be fair, my ability to determine whether or 00:19:08.500 --> 00:19:11.099 not a girl is flirting with me is notoriously 00:19:11.099 --> 00:19:16.240 poor. When we first see the senator's wife. Yeah. 00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:20.039 Well, he's not a senator yet, but. Okay, candidate, 00:19:20.180 --> 00:19:23.980 fine. When we first see, what's his stupid name? 00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:28.640 When we first see Hayward's wife. She's wearing 00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:32.599 this. It's at the party. She's wearing this sheer 00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:36.539 everything all over. She's practically naked. 00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:39.700 I saw her nipples four times in this episode. 00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:44.019 I'm not kidding. I did not take screenshots, 00:19:44.259 --> 00:19:46.779 but I will take screenshots. I saw her nipples 00:19:46.779 --> 00:19:51.039 twice in the first 20 minutes. Not for period 00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:52.400 reasons because I have access to the internet, 00:19:52.539 --> 00:19:54.519 but you're going to make me go back and use that 00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:57.839 horrible DVD. No, I don't remember that at all. 00:19:58.380 --> 00:20:02.420 In 70s TV? Are you insane? I'm not kidding, dude. 00:20:02.579 --> 00:20:07.599 I saw it. And also, she's like, go away. I'm 00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:09.920 having a party. And he's like, uh, please, ma 00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:11.880 'am. Okay, well, go get a sandwich. Beat it. 00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:16.779 Exactly. There is a shot in here where she is 00:20:16.779 --> 00:20:20.960 standing straight up and facing the camera, looking 00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:25.720 at the camera, where I swear I can see her nipple 00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:29.579 through her see -through gown dress thing, whatever 00:20:29.579 --> 00:20:32.140 she's wearing. And I will not make you go back 00:20:32.140 --> 00:20:33.799 and look through your horrible DVD. I'm going 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:36.579 to do it anyway now. I will take the screen cap 00:20:36.579 --> 00:20:39.259 for you. You don't trust me? Like, seriously? 00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:44.720 Okay, I hate to say this because I keep having 00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:46.859 to say this all the time with people, but I believe 00:20:46.859 --> 00:20:51.440 that you believe that you saw that, but I cannot 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:55.400 believe that that was allowed on TV in the mid 00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:58.019 -70s. Okay, here's what we're going to do, folks. 00:20:58.140 --> 00:21:00.420 You're not going to hear or see this, obviously. 00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:03.579 After we finish the recording, I will do screen 00:21:03.579 --> 00:21:06.039 share with you, and I will play it live, and 00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:10.250 you will see. I'm just like, we are like... We 00:21:10.250 --> 00:21:12.789 are literally less than a decade away from people 00:21:12.789 --> 00:21:15.130 being allowed to sleep in the same bed. I know, 00:21:15.150 --> 00:21:21.690 right? And she's not... She's not a particularly 00:21:21.690 --> 00:21:26.150 sexual character. No, she's not. But I'm telling 00:21:26.150 --> 00:21:30.369 you, man. I'm not making this up. I would not... 00:21:30.369 --> 00:21:36.289 Trust me, I would not make this up. It's just 00:21:36.289 --> 00:21:38.990 something I noticed. Because I was like... because 00:21:38.990 --> 00:21:41.690 you're right absolutely this is the decade where 00:21:41.690 --> 00:21:46.750 the husband and wife sleep in separate beds yada 00:21:46.750 --> 00:21:50.950 yada yada button up button up all this all that 00:21:50.950 --> 00:21:54.329 everything else i mean there's been a lot of 00:21:54.329 --> 00:21:56.289 flirting with a lot of the wives and things like 00:21:56.289 --> 00:21:59.390 that in the past especially with oh what was 00:21:59.390 --> 00:22:05.099 her um goldie yeah obviously but no the this 00:22:05.099 --> 00:22:08.420 wife i'm telling you you could basically see 00:22:08.420 --> 00:22:13.839 everything almost at least the top half uh so 00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:16.519 yeah um but yeah i particularly didn't care for 00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:20.299 this it's it's not one i would revisit like we've 00:22:20.299 --> 00:22:24.680 said the murder doesn't seem like like it would 00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:27.900 be different if she blackmailed him like if she 00:22:27.900 --> 00:22:32.170 tried to get money out of him The secretary? 00:22:32.650 --> 00:22:35.609 Yeah. I don't think she tried that. Did she? 00:22:35.930 --> 00:22:39.509 No, no. She was a true believer. Yeah. She's 00:22:39.509 --> 00:22:43.910 in love with him. I'm like, what is she – aside 00:22:43.910 --> 00:22:45.750 from the fact that Harry was trying to break 00:22:45.750 --> 00:22:49.069 them up, what does blackmailing him have to do 00:22:49.069 --> 00:22:53.130 with Harry getting murdered? Oh, I'm not – I'm 00:22:53.130 --> 00:22:55.990 mixing the – I'm pulling a Dave here. I'm mixing 00:22:55.990 --> 00:22:59.750 the two up. It would be – yeah. What hurts is 00:22:59.750 --> 00:23:05.319 that's accurate. sorry hey you you can pull accuracy 00:23:05.319 --> 00:23:10.240 on me anytime you want anytime i fuck up because 00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:12.940 i fuck up a lot so but it's one of those things 00:23:12.940 --> 00:23:17.460 where yeah it's like it it does there are elements 00:23:17.460 --> 00:23:21.039 i don't dislike the episode but there are elements 00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:23.839 that feel off i mean at the same time you've 00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:26.710 got the the bit with the car I think the bit 00:23:26.710 --> 00:23:29.450 with the car is in this one where he's got to 00:23:29.450 --> 00:23:31.789 take it into the shop and gets a crushing bill 00:23:31.789 --> 00:23:35.230 for $65. It's like, damn. I was going to ask 00:23:35.230 --> 00:23:38.109 you about that. So I wrote all of this down because 00:23:38.109 --> 00:23:40.390 that was more interesting to me than any of the 00:23:40.390 --> 00:23:43.009 political bullshit. So I was going to ask you 00:23:43.009 --> 00:23:46.490 about this because he says, what does he say, 00:23:46.609 --> 00:23:51.250 $65 .28? Something like that, sure. It was $65. 00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:54.900 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, it was $65. And then 00:23:54.900 --> 00:23:57.200 he does the, like, okay, are you going to ask 00:23:57.200 --> 00:23:59.339 me what a counter check is? Because I don't know. 00:23:59.779 --> 00:24:02.200 Okay, I'm going to look that up. And I'm like, 00:24:02.339 --> 00:24:05.240 how do you write a check from not, like, because 00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:09.119 I happen to know my account number just for reasons, 00:24:09.420 --> 00:24:11.519 like, maybe most people know their checking account 00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:13.799 number. I don't know how many people even have 00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:16.660 checks anymore. But, like, it just seems weird 00:24:16.660 --> 00:24:20.240 that you'd write this check. on another company's 00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:23.079 check thing and it would like because you need 00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:25.819 to know your bank number at least it was weird 00:24:25.819 --> 00:24:31.140 but I at the time I was well no I was potty trained 00:24:31.140 --> 00:24:32.819 by the time I was two so I was potty trained 00:24:32.819 --> 00:24:38.339 and reading but um because I was I peaked as 00:24:38.339 --> 00:24:41.539 a baby uh but uh um it's been downhill since 00:24:41.539 --> 00:24:44.700 then but my point being I was not writing checks 00:24:44.700 --> 00:24:47.680 I don't know what counter checks are Okay, so 00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:50.920 this is silly. I don't know if they made it up. 00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:54.859 No, I'm sure it's a thing. No, no, no. I'm talking 00:24:54.859 --> 00:24:57.539 about the term. Even though it's in the Merriam 00:24:57.539 --> 00:24:59.599 -Webster dictionary, I don't know if somebody 00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:01.940 made it up somewhere or whatever. Essentially, 00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:06.980 it's a blank check. He was asking him for a blank 00:25:06.980 --> 00:25:10.960 check. According to what this says in the Merriam 00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:16.329 -Webster dictionary, a counter check. Counter 00:25:16.329 --> 00:25:20.109 check. Merriam -Webster .com dictionary. Really? 00:25:20.289 --> 00:25:23.470 Seriously? Noun. A blank check available at a 00:25:23.470 --> 00:25:25.970 bank usually to be cashed only at a bank by the 00:25:25.970 --> 00:25:28.349 person writing the check. That's what a counter 00:25:28.349 --> 00:25:34.250 check is. Why would the auto guy have a blank 00:25:34.250 --> 00:25:37.230 check that Columbo could use that isn't attached 00:25:37.230 --> 00:25:39.789 to – blank checks have to be attached to your 00:25:39.789 --> 00:25:42.690 – wait a minute. Blank checks not be attached 00:25:42.690 --> 00:25:44.730 to accounts? I don't know how that works. That 00:25:44.730 --> 00:25:47.630 was my point. Yeah, that makes no sense. Yeah, 00:25:47.970 --> 00:25:51.890 exactly. That makes absolutely no sense, which 00:25:51.890 --> 00:25:54.230 means this episode gets even less points from 00:25:54.230 --> 00:25:57.470 me because that's stupid. Look, folks, I don't 00:25:57.470 --> 00:26:01.289 really want to give Columbo negative points here, 00:26:01.430 --> 00:26:04.230 but this episode is getting lower and lower in 00:26:04.230 --> 00:26:07.490 my mind because none of this is making any sense, 00:26:07.509 --> 00:26:13.509 and I blame politics. Okay, his needing to get 00:26:13.509 --> 00:26:15.509 the car fixed had nothing to do with politics. 00:26:15.950 --> 00:26:18.329 No, no, no. Even that part's a little weird to 00:26:18.329 --> 00:26:21.630 me because I don't know if I've just been the 00:26:21.630 --> 00:26:23.650 biggest criminal my whole life or if I just live 00:26:23.650 --> 00:26:26.750 in an area where they don't do inspections for 00:26:26.750 --> 00:26:28.869 cars. Because I know that's a big thing in some 00:26:28.869 --> 00:26:31.130 places, but I've never had to take my car in 00:26:31.130 --> 00:26:34.730 and get it looked at. And Colombo gets stopped 00:26:34.730 --> 00:26:38.079 on the street. Yeah, that was weird to me. No, 00:26:38.099 --> 00:26:40.559 no, especially in L .A. I can see that happening. 00:26:41.019 --> 00:26:45.299 Okay. But, yeah, like, he had not had his car 00:26:45.299 --> 00:26:47.539 pass inspection and was missing a lot of things 00:26:47.539 --> 00:26:49.460 and having a lot of issues. There was a lot of 00:26:49.460 --> 00:26:52.400 comedic bits in this one, like, more so, like, 00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:56.599 and what I mean by that is non -associated with 00:26:56.599 --> 00:26:58.779 the, well, I mean, kind of associated, but Columbo 00:26:58.779 --> 00:27:02.359 doing goofy things off by himself. Yep. Then 00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:04.839 we've seen in a lot of episodes, like, because 00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:07.119 there's this whole thing. Which is an important 00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:11.619 plot point where, like I said, to get Harry killed, 00:27:11.900 --> 00:27:15.799 they had swapped coats. And so a new coat shows 00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:20.660 up at Hayward's office. And Columbo goes to the 00:27:20.660 --> 00:27:23.599 tailor to see if he can get a coat made in a 00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:25.099 rush. I mean, the whole point is that he wants 00:27:25.099 --> 00:27:26.960 to get the coat, find out if you can get a coat 00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:31.609 made in two days, basically. And you can't. And 00:27:31.609 --> 00:27:33.049 Hayward has a pretty good argument against that, 00:27:33.089 --> 00:27:35.150 which is, well, the coat was old and it was falling 00:27:35.150 --> 00:27:38.609 apart. It just happened that I ordered it. And 00:27:38.609 --> 00:27:42.470 honestly, I don't know. That's one of those weirder 00:27:42.470 --> 00:27:45.089 points where I honestly believe that maybe he 00:27:45.089 --> 00:27:48.849 did want it. It's like, had he had this planned 00:27:48.849 --> 00:27:53.849 for weeks? This is weird. And then at the end, 00:27:54.009 --> 00:27:56.190 I kind of like the ending and I kind of don't 00:27:56.190 --> 00:27:57.430 because there's this whole thing about the phone 00:27:57.430 --> 00:28:00.190 system. which is literally never mentioned once 00:28:00.190 --> 00:28:04.069 until the very end like you were in your room 00:28:04.069 --> 00:28:05.789 when you had this phone system and i was waiting 00:28:05.789 --> 00:28:08.130 for it lined up and i'm like were you you were 00:28:08.130 --> 00:28:14.970 asleep yeah i was paying attention to that because 00:28:14.970 --> 00:28:18.029 i was paying attention to colombo this whole 00:28:18.029 --> 00:28:22.230 episode because colombo he looked like he's sick 00:28:22.890 --> 00:28:24.849 He looked like he got a fever. He looked like 00:28:24.849 --> 00:28:27.369 he's got the flu. Isn't this the episode where 00:28:27.369 --> 00:28:30.230 he went to the dentist? Yes. That dentist did 00:28:30.230 --> 00:28:33.450 something to him. I know he had to have a... 00:28:33.450 --> 00:28:35.569 No, I'm not kidding. He had to have a wisdom 00:28:35.569 --> 00:28:37.750 tooth pulled. Yeah, I know. He had to have a 00:28:37.750 --> 00:28:39.650 wisdom tooth pulled and they had to do something 00:28:39.650 --> 00:28:42.069 to his root canal or to his molar or something 00:28:42.069 --> 00:28:45.930 or other or whatever. Or he had to have a cavity 00:28:45.930 --> 00:28:49.710 filled or he had to... I don't trust... Look, 00:28:50.109 --> 00:28:53.990 as much as... bill cosby is a criminal this is 00:28:53.990 --> 00:28:56.349 like hitting all your your triggers aren't isn't 00:28:56.349 --> 00:28:58.710 it like dentists and politicians that's right 00:28:58.710 --> 00:29:02.910 as much as bill cosby is a criminal i still love 00:29:02.910 --> 00:29:05.970 certain episodes of the cosby show and if there 00:29:05.970 --> 00:29:08.369 wasn't anything that the cosby show taught me 00:29:08.369 --> 00:29:13.009 in the 1980s is the episode where rudy and her 00:29:13.009 --> 00:29:18.269 friend uh peter have to go to the dentist And 00:29:18.269 --> 00:29:21.490 they did not want to go to the dentist. And the 00:29:21.490 --> 00:29:23.809 dentist had to basically sing them a song to 00:29:23.809 --> 00:29:26.089 get them to open their mouth. So it's one of 00:29:26.089 --> 00:29:29.789 those things where I don't trust. I trust the 00:29:29.789 --> 00:29:32.470 eye doctor more than I trust the dentist. So 00:29:32.470 --> 00:29:37.190 it's one of those things where he looks bad in 00:29:37.190 --> 00:29:39.029 this episode. Like I said, like he's got a fever 00:29:39.029 --> 00:29:42.730 or the flu or a cold or something. So he's laying 00:29:42.730 --> 00:29:45.789 on this couch. He's flipping and flopping over 00:29:45.789 --> 00:29:49.099 like a dead fish. He's switching positions. He's 00:29:49.099 --> 00:29:51.660 got the newspaper over his head. He's always, 00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:58.700 you know, Lieutenant phone. Now the guy comes 00:29:58.700 --> 00:30:01.220 in because he specifically asked that if Hayward 00:30:01.220 --> 00:30:05.440 was alone. Right. Yeah. No, absolutely. But every 00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:09.380 time he has to take the paper off of his head 00:30:09.380 --> 00:30:11.319 because he's got the newspaper over his head. 00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:16.279 But he's also watching that – Okay, okay, I believe 00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:18.460 you. I didn't really pick up on that, but I believe 00:30:18.460 --> 00:30:21.299 you. Yeah, so he's watching this phone. That's 00:30:21.299 --> 00:30:24.700 why at the end it may seem like it's a thing, 00:30:24.740 --> 00:30:27.259 but he was actually watching the phone to see 00:30:27.259 --> 00:30:29.099 if it would light up because the phone systems 00:30:29.099 --> 00:30:33.359 are tied together. Well, I – let me put it this 00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:37.000 way. I don't think – I wasn't accusing them of 00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:39.099 pulling it completely out of nowhere. Right. 00:30:39.420 --> 00:30:41.440 I think it was more like the fact that the system 00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:44.079 was – he's like, you put in this elaborate system. 00:30:44.180 --> 00:30:45.440 It's like, okay, well, you never mentioned that 00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:46.920 once. It was like, okay, you were looking at 00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:49.599 the phone, but we didn't – I didn't know. Like 00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:51.700 the phone system was like a connected thing. 00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:54.160 I didn't even realize that was his – I thought 00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:56.400 that was just a hotel room that they were in. 00:30:56.559 --> 00:30:58.940 I didn't realize it was like a – It's a giant 00:30:58.940 --> 00:31:01.859 suite that I have a problem with because at the 00:31:01.859 --> 00:31:05.380 end of the episode, there are way too many goddamn 00:31:05.380 --> 00:31:08.099 people in that one room. In the room where he 00:31:08.099 --> 00:31:10.980 does the shooting. That's what happens because 00:31:10.980 --> 00:31:12.680 you don't know much about politics. That's what 00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:14.599 happens on election night is they go to a hotel. 00:31:15.180 --> 00:31:18.160 They're all crammed into a room together. Right. 00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:24.200 Yeah, but still, no. You can have your campaign 00:31:24.200 --> 00:31:28.059 headquarters anywhere. Hell, you can still have 00:31:28.059 --> 00:31:30.279 your campaign headquarters in a hotel. You can 00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:32.420 use one of their banquet halls, which is actually 00:31:32.420 --> 00:31:34.839 made for campaign headquartering. You don't need 00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:38.789 to. Be stuck in a double deluxe Holiday Inn Express 00:31:38.789 --> 00:31:42.930 in the middle of nowhere. Well, some of it also 00:31:42.930 --> 00:31:45.410 was – I mean, this is a TV show. I remember there 00:31:45.410 --> 00:31:47.309 was like a – I know. I can't remember if it was 00:31:47.309 --> 00:31:49.710 – I think it was this episode, but I'm not sure, 00:31:49.750 --> 00:31:51.369 where there was like a scene. Oh, it is. It's 00:31:51.369 --> 00:31:54.150 the scene in the garage. Yep. And that looked 00:31:54.150 --> 00:31:57.990 fake. Yes, it did. They go to an elevator, and 00:31:57.990 --> 00:32:00.769 it looked like just a little – it didn't look 00:32:00.769 --> 00:32:02.150 like an elevator. It didn't look like the – No. 00:32:02.670 --> 00:32:04.849 Like it looked like a little rectangular room. 00:32:05.329 --> 00:32:06.990 Which I know an elevator is, but you know what 00:32:06.990 --> 00:32:09.670 I mean. There's like mechanics of the door. Yeah, 00:32:09.670 --> 00:32:12.069 it did not look like an elevator. It just looked 00:32:12.069 --> 00:32:15.309 like the shape of an elevator boxed out. Maybe 00:32:15.309 --> 00:32:17.369 NBC was cutting back on the old mystery movies 00:32:17.369 --> 00:32:19.829 that year. I don't know. Maybe they were. So 00:32:19.829 --> 00:32:23.369 this was an hour and a half, I think. It was 00:32:23.369 --> 00:32:25.970 a long one. Yeah, this was an hour and a half. 00:32:26.470 --> 00:32:29.349 It took an hour and 14 minutes for the killer 00:32:29.349 --> 00:32:31.589 to get caught. So what did they do for the other 00:32:31.589 --> 00:32:36.450 15 minutes? I don't know. Usually I take that 00:32:36.450 --> 00:32:40.170 time to notice how fast Columbo came in, but 00:32:40.170 --> 00:32:43.750 Columbo was kind of in on this almost from the 00:32:43.750 --> 00:32:48.190 beginning because of the protection for the candidate. 00:32:49.029 --> 00:32:53.609 I did not like this episode. I've said that already 00:32:53.609 --> 00:32:57.170 in this podcast. This episode was the episode 00:32:57.170 --> 00:33:01.049 so far out of the entire series where I'm like, 00:33:01.230 --> 00:33:05.329 okay. i'm gonna go play pong i'm gonna go get 00:33:05.329 --> 00:33:08.009 some popcorn i'm gonna go to the bathroom i'm 00:33:08.009 --> 00:33:10.190 gonna go check the projection room continuity 00:33:10.190 --> 00:33:13.890 for the next podcast i'm going to do everything 00:33:13.890 --> 00:33:18.410 i can do to not have to like i wanted to do everything 00:33:18.410 --> 00:33:20.930 else other than finish watching this thing this 00:33:20.930 --> 00:33:24.829 thing just well we probably should explain that 00:33:24.829 --> 00:33:27.250 at the very end like the whole thing is colombo 00:33:27.250 --> 00:33:30.849 decides figures out that that that there isn't 00:33:30.849 --> 00:33:32.710 someone trying to kill hayward And then they 00:33:32.710 --> 00:33:35.849 tried to kill Harry or they did kill Harry. And 00:33:35.849 --> 00:33:38.470 Heywood is like and this is actually this seems 00:33:38.470 --> 00:33:41.250 to be the moment where Columbo twigs on on Heywood 00:33:41.250 --> 00:33:42.829 because Heywood's like, no, no, they're trying 00:33:42.829 --> 00:33:44.230 to kill me. They're trying to kill me. And Columbo's 00:33:44.230 --> 00:33:46.210 like, it's a good moment, I think. He's like, 00:33:46.230 --> 00:33:48.210 yeah, I'd be happy if I found out that someone 00:33:48.210 --> 00:33:49.670 wasn't going to kill me. Yeah. And so at the 00:33:49.670 --> 00:33:52.509 end, Heywood stages a second assassination attempt 00:33:52.509 --> 00:33:56.289 in his little side hotel room, which is why he 00:33:56.289 --> 00:33:58.930 was alone and he set it up. He shot the gun into 00:33:58.930 --> 00:34:01.680 the wall with a silencer. and kind of tried to 00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:03.859 cover it up and then was going to pretend like 00:34:03.859 --> 00:34:05.900 afterwards he set off a firecracker on the fire 00:34:05.900 --> 00:34:09.599 escape to sound like a gun. Okay, he set up the 00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:12.119 gunshot before he left to go vote, and when they 00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:14.360 came back, he put a firecracker on the fire escape. 00:34:14.500 --> 00:34:18.280 Now, as it happens, when I was a kid, someone 00:34:18.280 --> 00:34:20.039 threw a firecracker into my house, and it was 00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:23.300 like I had a slate landing or whatever you call 00:34:23.300 --> 00:34:25.360 it, a little entry room from the front door, 00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:28.300 and there was always a burn mark on that slate 00:34:28.300 --> 00:34:32.170 from that. moment on so i'm like you're not gonna 00:34:32.170 --> 00:34:34.650 get away with like that not being noticed no 00:34:34.650 --> 00:34:37.130 but anyway the point being that colombo because 00:34:37.130 --> 00:34:38.849 he had noticed that the phone didn't light up 00:34:38.849 --> 00:34:41.010 yeah i'd come in while they were out at vote 00:34:41.010 --> 00:34:43.130 and it already dug out the bullet so that's how 00:34:43.130 --> 00:34:45.570 he gets him that's how he gets him which is a 00:34:45.570 --> 00:34:49.349 pretty good for oh i mean for colombo getting 00:34:49.349 --> 00:34:51.650 him that's a pretty good get him yeah the twist 00:34:51.650 --> 00:34:57.079 the get him in this was really good yeah Again, 00:34:57.079 --> 00:34:59.940 Columbo makes this episode. Columbo makes every 00:34:59.940 --> 00:35:04.219 episode. Okay, yeah, but like... Okay, Columbo, 00:35:04.300 --> 00:35:06.800 let me put it this way. I think the really exceptional 00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:09.500 episodes are the ones, like any port in a storm, 00:35:09.739 --> 00:35:12.920 where somebody else helps carry the load. But 00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:16.400 for the most part, Columbo makes the episode. 00:35:16.579 --> 00:35:19.300 You know what I mean? Right, and we've talked 00:35:19.300 --> 00:35:22.219 about this before, where it's not a whodunit, 00:35:22.219 --> 00:35:26.719 but it's a howdunit. And this how done it is 00:35:26.719 --> 00:35:30.219 so like, I even have a note here about the stupid, 00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:33.099 like I said, I even wrote it out with like seven 00:35:33.099 --> 00:35:37.079 wise boy, the block letters. I'm like, Oh my 00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:40.760 God, you dumb moron. Don't use the serial killer 00:35:40.760 --> 00:35:45.679 block lettering. Seriously. Nobody's got no smart 00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:53.610 book. God. Oh, Senator for future Senator. But 00:35:53.610 --> 00:35:56.250 like there are episodes that we've talked about 00:35:56.250 --> 00:35:59.829 so far in the first two seasons and in this third 00:35:59.829 --> 00:36:04.590 season so far where we're excited to figure it 00:36:04.590 --> 00:36:09.969 out and see how they did it. Even though we know 00:36:09.969 --> 00:36:12.630 who did it, we are excited to figure out how 00:36:12.630 --> 00:36:14.789 they did it and we're excited to see how Columbo 00:36:14.789 --> 00:36:17.889 exposes them. Yeah, I think that the twist is 00:36:17.889 --> 00:36:20.070 what you're trying to figure out is how Columbo 00:36:20.070 --> 00:36:23.940 figures it out. Right. And this was good on how 00:36:23.940 --> 00:36:27.159 he figured it out. It was, but it came in at 00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:29.840 the very end. Yeah, it came in at the very end. 00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:32.739 And the problem is the rest of this episode. 00:36:32.739 --> 00:36:35.860 And again, the murder essentially makes no sense 00:36:35.860 --> 00:36:38.320 because other than the fact that just because 00:36:38.320 --> 00:36:41.619 you didn't like the guy, like the guy wasn't 00:36:41.619 --> 00:36:45.480 trying to blackmail you. The guy was only saying, 00:36:45.659 --> 00:36:48.719 hey, look, stop cheating on your wife. Like a 00:36:48.719 --> 00:37:00.079 jerk. Oh, God. Yeah. Oh, God. All right, so the 00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:02.500 usual questions. Did this show keep your interest 00:37:02.500 --> 00:37:09.539 throughout this episode? Not really. Well, apparently 00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:11.599 I didn't notice the boobies, so no, I guess. 00:37:13.860 --> 00:37:20.369 Well, we'll watch that later. The next episode 00:37:20.369 --> 00:37:22.469 is much better than this one, so are we itching 00:37:22.469 --> 00:37:27.170 to watch the next episode now? Kind of. No one 00:37:27.170 --> 00:37:30.650 should watch this episode. I will blacklist this 00:37:30.650 --> 00:37:33.489 episode. I will put this episode in a vault, 00:37:33.610 --> 00:37:36.469 never to be seen again. I will bury this episode 00:37:36.469 --> 00:37:39.889 in the desert next to that E .T. game. Dang. 00:37:40.369 --> 00:37:43.309 Yeah, that's how bad I feel about this episode. 00:37:43.710 --> 00:37:45.610 Show me on the doll where the episode touched 00:37:45.610 --> 00:37:52.920 you, man. Here, here, and here. Yikes. You asked. 00:37:53.280 --> 00:38:00.900 I did. I only pointed to my forehead, my cheek, 00:38:00.900 --> 00:38:04.260 and my shoulder, so it's not that bad. All right, 00:38:04.260 --> 00:38:07.940 so ratings. Oh, boy. You can go first on this 00:38:07.940 --> 00:38:09.860 one, because I guarantee you I'm going to be 00:38:09.860 --> 00:38:13.059 way more harsh than you are. Well, I mean, I 00:38:13.059 --> 00:38:14.719 was joking about it hitting your triggers, but 00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:17.650 apparently it did, and that's... I mean, that's 00:38:17.650 --> 00:38:20.230 legit. Like, I've had things where, like, I didn't 00:38:20.230 --> 00:38:22.690 like them for personal reasons. It's an okay 00:38:22.690 --> 00:38:26.730 episode. Like I said, there are just minor issues 00:38:26.730 --> 00:38:30.329 with things. For me, minor issues, which I'm 00:38:30.329 --> 00:38:32.449 going to give it a three. It's okay. It's not 00:38:32.449 --> 00:38:34.530 one of the better episodes. It's got some stuff 00:38:34.530 --> 00:38:36.289 in it that I like. The stuff with him at the 00:38:36.289 --> 00:38:40.230 tailor is funny. But, yeah, it's not a favorite. 00:38:40.489 --> 00:38:43.820 So three. It's okay. Yeah, the Taylor stuff is 00:38:43.820 --> 00:38:46.179 funny and it is good, and yes. And the guy who 00:38:46.179 --> 00:38:47.780 plays the Taylor will come back in a different 00:38:47.780 --> 00:38:51.239 role. Cool. Awesome. Very cool, very cool. We 00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:54.360 also got more of the little Columbo -isms. He 00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:56.840 did do this old man. He had talked about his 00:38:56.840 --> 00:39:01.559 wife. I always say that his wife loved Hayward 00:39:01.559 --> 00:39:03.539 because it's always like his wife loves all these 00:39:03.539 --> 00:39:09.349 murderers. So that was funny. Yeah. Just to remind 00:39:09.349 --> 00:39:11.469 the audience, in case you haven't listened to 00:39:11.469 --> 00:39:15.110 one of our episodes at all on Studio 2009, 3 00:39:15.110 --> 00:39:19.349 .0, average, meh. It's not bad, but it's not 00:39:19.349 --> 00:39:22.449 amazing either. Nothing really stands out, and 00:39:22.449 --> 00:39:26.050 it's forgettable. Now for me, folks, with this 00:39:26.050 --> 00:39:33.630 episode, I'm debating between 1 .5 and 1 .0. 00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:41.960 The Columbo -isms and the Taylor are great, but 00:39:41.960 --> 00:39:45.940 they don't save it from anything higher. They're 00:39:45.940 --> 00:39:50.260 good. I loved it. Columbo is really the only 00:39:50.260 --> 00:39:55.519 reason why it isn't getting a zero. So you're 00:39:55.519 --> 00:39:58.079 saying Columbo is the only reason to watch Columbo? 00:39:58.980 --> 00:40:03.889 Okay, well, yes, but... I'm sorry? So, for definitions, 00:40:04.289 --> 00:40:12.030 a 1 .5 is really bad. Barely any good stuff, 00:40:12.130 --> 00:40:15.070 lots of failures, with a couple of epic disasters 00:40:15.070 --> 00:40:19.670 thrown in. The few successes are like tiny islands 00:40:19.670 --> 00:40:25.550 in a sea of disappointment. And terrible, which 00:40:25.550 --> 00:40:29.250 is a 1, prepare to be frustrated. This is a mess 00:40:29.250 --> 00:40:32.920 with almost no redeeming qualities. One or two 00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:36.099 achievements are completely overshadowed by the 00:40:36.099 --> 00:40:39.340 overall awfulness. Not the worst of the year, 00:40:39.500 --> 00:40:43.199 but definitely a contender. So I think for me, 00:40:43.199 --> 00:40:45.599 I'm going to give it a one and a half. I don't 00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:49.360 think it really deserves a one yet, and I don't 00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:51.599 think that there are other Columbo episodes that 00:40:51.599 --> 00:40:56.000 I would give grades this low. But knowing me 00:40:56.000 --> 00:41:02.570 and knowing my feelings of certain... ways that 00:41:02.570 --> 00:41:06.409 politics are handled in media and television 00:41:06.409 --> 00:41:09.449 and movies and things like that it just politics 00:41:09.449 --> 00:41:12.590 rubs me the wrong way entered i want my entertaining 00:41:12.590 --> 00:41:16.610 to entertain if i can talk i want my entertainment 00:41:16.610 --> 00:41:19.710 to be entertaining and politics does not entertain 00:41:19.710 --> 00:41:23.289 me i understand what you're saying i and i am 00:41:23.289 --> 00:41:26.809 sympathetic i i think my thing is i prefer politics 00:41:26.809 --> 00:41:29.610 to well like a cop show is a cop show like i 00:41:29.610 --> 00:41:32.780 prefer When the thing is actually about politics, 00:41:33.059 --> 00:41:35.800 I'm less bothered than when it's about something 00:41:35.800 --> 00:41:39.400 else and it is political. That annoys – like 00:41:39.400 --> 00:41:42.079 if it's – and I think that's a thing that we're 00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:43.579 dealing with these days where everything has 00:41:43.579 --> 00:41:46.539 to be political. I do want to add real quick 00:41:46.539 --> 00:41:47.719 because you always ask me if I want to add something. 00:41:48.019 --> 00:41:50.239 I think this is the one – like I'm always talking 00:41:50.239 --> 00:41:52.079 about like these Columboisms that never seem 00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:55.300 to show up, which drive me crazy. But this one, 00:41:55.340 --> 00:41:57.679 they had like one that I didn't realize was a 00:41:57.679 --> 00:42:00.500 Columboism where it's about the car. yeah and 00:42:00.500 --> 00:42:02.840 he goes no i've got another car but it's nothing 00:42:02.840 --> 00:42:04.980 special that's the second time he said that yep 00:42:04.980 --> 00:42:07.679 my wife drives it it's just transportation yeah 00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:08.940 it's just transportation it's nothing special 00:42:08.940 --> 00:42:11.619 yeah um special so apparently that's a thing 00:42:11.619 --> 00:42:18.920 that he does yep yeah that poor car i love that 00:42:18.920 --> 00:42:24.159 car All right, folks. We're going to go to a 00:42:24.159 --> 00:42:25.800 quick break. You're going to hear some podcast 00:42:25.800 --> 00:42:28.320 ads and some other stuff. We'll come back to 00:42:28.320 --> 00:42:31.920 close the show right after this. All I can say, 00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:35.900 sir, is whoever did it will get them.

Trying 00:49:50.039 --> 00:49:52.480 to make our spot sound more exciting by adding 00:49:52.480 --> 00:49:54.760 explosions. Yeah, I'm pretty sure you could have 00:49:54.760 --> 00:49:56.579 got the point across with sound effects, not 00:49:56.579 --> 00:50:01.199 the real thing. Download the show on iTunes or 00:50:01.199 --> 00:50:04.460 at simplisticreviews .blogspot .com. I'm sure 00:50:04.460 --> 00:50:06.780 your insurance company will cover that. No, they 00:50:06.780 --> 00:50:09.880 won't. No, they probably won't. I've already 00:50:09.880 --> 00:50:12.980 dug the bullet out of the wall. And ballistics 00:50:12.980 --> 00:50:15.480 is already verified. That it came from the same 00:50:15.480 --> 00:50:26.920 gun. Here's the bullet. Here's the ballistics 00:50:26.920 --> 00:50:31.940 report. No bullet in the wall. Bullet's right 00:50:31.940 --> 00:50:38.300 here. It's in my handkerchief. Yeah, there she 00:50:38.300 --> 00:50:42.619 is. You see, sir, this afternoon when you told 00:50:42.619 --> 00:50:44.389 Sergeant Vernon that... We're going to come in 00:50:44.389 --> 00:50:46.869 here to make some private telephone calls. I 00:50:46.869 --> 00:50:49.090 was over there in the press room. Now, this room 00:50:49.090 --> 00:50:53.550 is 615 and the press room is 616. When you call 00:50:53.550 --> 00:50:57.730 from here, it lights up over there because you 00:50:57.730 --> 00:51:00.050 installed that special three -way rotary system. 00:51:01.489 --> 00:51:04.349 So I kept watching the phone for 615 to light 00:51:04.349 --> 00:51:09.190 up. Yeah, it's lit up now. You see that? I kept 00:51:09.190 --> 00:51:24.340 waiting for that button to light up. curious 00:51:24.340 --> 00:51:25.940 and when you and your wife when you went to vocal 00:51:25.940 --> 00:51:29.099 i took advantage of that opportunity to come 00:51:29.099 --> 00:51:32.519 in here and look around and i found that bullet 00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:34.659 hole in a glass door and that took me to the 00:51:34.659 --> 00:51:41.480 wall i dug this bullet out of that wall three 00:51:41.480 --> 00:51:44.019 hours before you said that somebody fired it 00:51:44.019 --> 00:52:04.369 at you three minutes ago We are back here inside 00:52:04.369 --> 00:52:08.449 Studio 2009, only on the Geekcast Radio Network. 00:52:09.510 --> 00:52:14.769 We are on our way to 200 episodes of this podcast. 00:52:15.449 --> 00:52:20.309 Any final thoughts for this political assassination 00:52:20.309 --> 00:52:27.530 of a Columbo episode, sir? I want to walk a very 00:52:27.530 --> 00:52:30.159 fine line here. Okay. Weirdly, it's not the fine 00:52:30.159 --> 00:52:31.539 line that I thought I was going to be walking 00:52:31.539 --> 00:52:36.599 when we started recording. I feel – I understand 00:52:36.599 --> 00:52:39.619 where you're coming from, but I also feel maybe 00:52:39.619 --> 00:52:42.659 you're – not everyone is going to have the same 00:52:42.659 --> 00:52:46.099 reaction that you did. Obviously. And so I think 00:52:46.099 --> 00:52:49.079 you're being a little harsh on the episode, but 00:52:49.079 --> 00:52:52.539 I understand that it hits your wrong nerves. 00:52:52.699 --> 00:52:56.619 So I'm just saying more for the audience. I'm 00:52:56.619 --> 00:52:58.639 not saying this is a great episode and he's crazy 00:52:58.639 --> 00:53:01.079 and don't listen to him. He's a madman. It's 00:53:01.079 --> 00:53:06.119 an okay episode. I think Mike has been turned 00:53:06.119 --> 00:53:07.980 off by certain things and is coming down a little 00:53:07.980 --> 00:53:10.579 harder than the episode necessarily deserves. 00:53:11.400 --> 00:53:15.219 But that's all I'm going to say. Not a hill I 00:53:15.219 --> 00:53:18.500 want to die on for this. You're right. I'm not 00:53:18.500 --> 00:53:21.539 arguing. You're right. Absolutely. This episode 00:53:21.539 --> 00:53:26.670 is not for me. 100%. I agree with you. It's not 00:53:26.670 --> 00:53:31.070 for me. And that's the greatest thing about podcasting 00:53:31.070 --> 00:53:38.690 is that we can watch something and we can have 00:53:38.690 --> 00:53:44.670 differing opinions. We can have, like, how many 00:53:44.670 --> 00:53:48.869 times have you seen Attack the Block? Three or 00:53:48.869 --> 00:53:51.769 four, I think. Okay, and it's something you'll 00:53:51.769 --> 00:53:56.909 go back to, right? I mean, at this point, I don't 00:53:56.909 --> 00:54:00.309 – I get what you're saying. Theoretically, yes. 00:54:00.449 --> 00:54:02.570 I don't know if I will before I die, but I don't 00:54:02.570 --> 00:54:07.449 know how much longer I have. Stop it. Has the 00:54:07.449 --> 00:54:09.250 doctor told you something that you're not telling 00:54:09.250 --> 00:54:13.960 us, Dave? Okay, good, because – i've got plenty 00:54:13.960 --> 00:54:16.539 of revenge movies to get you back with anyway 00:54:16.539 --> 00:54:20.360 you like that movie yeah no i enjoyed my experience 00:54:20.360 --> 00:54:23.500 but my point is is that you'll go back to what 00:54:23.500 --> 00:54:26.800 you'll watch that movie again i won't that's 00:54:26.800 --> 00:54:29.420 the thing same thing with this episode you may 00:54:29.420 --> 00:54:32.800 watch this episode again and and like it I probably 00:54:32.800 --> 00:54:34.699 will never watch this episode again and like 00:54:34.699 --> 00:54:37.239 it, and I'm sure vice versa. There's plenty of 00:54:37.239 --> 00:54:39.519 things that I've had you watch that I absolutely 00:54:39.519 --> 00:54:42.659 love that you just don't give two rips about 00:54:42.659 --> 00:54:45.320 and you'll never watch again. That's the point 00:54:45.320 --> 00:54:50.139 of the I like it, you don't, you like it, I don't. 00:54:50.260 --> 00:54:52.980 It's okay. It's not a big deal. It's not the 00:54:52.980 --> 00:54:54.960 end of the world. The world is not going to explode 00:54:54.960 --> 00:54:59.199 because two guys on a podcast don't agree. Well, 00:54:59.239 --> 00:55:00.780 we don't know that, but I guess we'll find out. 00:55:02.039 --> 00:55:04.719 I guess we'll find out soon enough. Opinions 00:55:04.719 --> 00:55:08.880 like assholes. All right. Any other final thoughts? 00:55:10.619 --> 00:55:12.760 Let's get out.
