We got 26 away from 00:00:52.100 --> 00:00:57.340 200. Today we are continuing on our journey as 00:00:57.340 --> 00:01:00.960 we put our detective hats on, our trench coats 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.060 on, and all that good stuff. Jump back into Columbo 00:01:04.060 --> 00:01:07.420 with the Columbo files here inside Studio 2009. 00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:10.540 As always, starting at the beginning, going forward 00:01:10.540 --> 00:01:15.859 in time in continuity order. We are watching 00:01:15.859 --> 00:01:18.560 these, or I'm watching these on Tubi TV. Dave 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:23.109 is watching these on DVD. Yes. So there's that. 00:01:23.230 --> 00:01:25.390 He's not happy with his season three DVD set. 00:01:25.390 --> 00:01:28.689 The season threes are not good. Uh -huh, yeah. 00:01:28.730 --> 00:01:30.069 They must have switched companies or something. 00:01:30.230 --> 00:01:31.930 Well, and I noticed when I first started watching 00:01:31.930 --> 00:01:33.709 them, they've got the little NBC mystery movie 00:01:33.709 --> 00:01:35.849 logo on the thing, which none of the others have. 00:01:36.689 --> 00:01:40.370 Yes. Oh, that's weird. It's weird. Today is season 00:01:40.370 --> 00:01:42.950 three, episode four, and we are witnessing some 00:01:42.950 --> 00:01:49.489 double exposure. Dun, dun, dun. Oh, boy. What 00:01:49.489 --> 00:01:54.329 an episode. Robert Culp's back. Man, oh, man. 00:01:55.629 --> 00:02:02.129 You know, every TV protagonist, I'll use the 00:02:02.129 --> 00:02:06.329 term protagonist, but hero, every TV hero, every 00:02:06.329 --> 00:02:09.770 cartoon hero, every movie hero always has the 00:02:09.770 --> 00:02:13.090 nemesis or the antagonist or the villain or the 00:02:13.090 --> 00:02:16.449 whatever. Man, it doesn't matter what character 00:02:16.449 --> 00:02:21.169 Robert Culp is playing. That guy. is one of the 00:02:21.169 --> 00:02:25.629 greatest classic actors I've ever seen as a villain. 00:02:25.789 --> 00:02:30.110 He's good in the role, yeah. He's amazing. I 00:02:30.110 --> 00:02:34.430 love him. Oh, man. I wish he got to do more. 00:02:34.889 --> 00:02:42.129 Wait until you get to Patrick Radun. As much 00:02:42.129 --> 00:02:44.490 as I love him, that fake voice was the worst, 00:02:44.509 --> 00:02:50.080 though. oh yeah that was pretty pathetic yeah 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:55.520 that was pretty bad and that was funny like like 00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:57.340 it was just so funny because he was like trying 00:02:57.340 --> 00:02:58.960 to get the wife all stirred up and she's like 00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.379 whatever leave me alone yeah she didn't give 00:03:01.379 --> 00:03:04.120 two rips yeah she's like why are you calling 00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:07.860 me what do you want what are you doing yeah she 00:03:07.860 --> 00:03:30.599 didn't give two rips Hello, Mrs. Norris. You 00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:33.120 don't know me, but I think we should talk. Who 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.340 is this? Let's just say that I am a friend of 00:03:36.340 --> 00:03:39.180 Tanya Baker, which is the subject about which 00:03:39.180 --> 00:03:42.360 I'm calling. I don't know any Tanya. Yes, I know 00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:44.300 you don't, Mrs. Norris, but your husband does. 00:03:44.780 --> 00:03:47.139 You see, Tanya's my girlfriend, and Mr. Norris 00:03:47.139 --> 00:03:48.620 is your husband, and I wish there was a nice 00:03:48.620 --> 00:03:50.099 way to put it, but there isn't. They're having 00:03:50.099 --> 00:03:53.840 an affair, and that's that. That is absurd. It 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:56.659 is, huh? Well, that's funny, because I've got 00:03:56.659 --> 00:03:58.879 the proof right here in front of me. Oh, boy. 00:03:59.060 --> 00:04:05.000 All right. Double exposure. This one is Dr. Bart 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.939 Keppel, played by Robert Culp, is a motivation 00:04:08.939 --> 00:04:15.759 research specialist. Huh? Yeah, that's a thing. 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.000 Well, that is one of the running themes of the 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:19.500 episode is that Columbo keeps trying to figure 00:04:19.500 --> 00:04:22.480 out what in the hell Kepler actually does. Yeah. 00:04:24.939 --> 00:04:27.939 Yeah. I was trying to figure that out myself. 00:04:29.899 --> 00:04:33.819 Like, is he in advertising? Is he in this? Is 00:04:33.819 --> 00:04:39.579 he in that? It feels like advertising, but he's 00:04:39.579 --> 00:04:43.899 pretty adamant that that's not what he does. 00:04:44.459 --> 00:04:49.319 It is like a weird nebulous marketing and research. 00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:54.800 It's pretty fuzzy. It's very fuzzy. So the way 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:58.300 it's described here in the lovely Wikipedia article 00:04:58.300 --> 00:05:03.779 is he's a motivation research specialist at Impulse 00:05:03.779 --> 00:05:07.800 Research Labs who has become an expert practitioner 00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:11.579 of subliminal advertising, which involves inserting 00:05:11.579 --> 00:05:16.019 frames of advertised product into reels of a 00:05:16.019 --> 00:05:22.250 film. I was going to say, back in the 70s and 00:05:22.250 --> 00:05:24.750 80s, this was a bigger thing than I think it 00:05:24.750 --> 00:05:27.850 is today. Everyone was worried about it. There 00:05:27.850 --> 00:05:31.189 was the book Subliminal Seduction, which had 00:05:31.189 --> 00:05:36.689 the naked lady on the ice cube. And then there 00:05:36.689 --> 00:05:39.610 was a movie, famously, They Live, of course, 00:05:39.629 --> 00:05:42.430 is a big one about subliminal images advertising. 00:05:42.730 --> 00:05:44.310 But there was another one before that called 00:05:44.310 --> 00:05:47.980 Looker, which was about... It's weird because 00:05:47.980 --> 00:05:50.379 I get confused with another movie, and it turns 00:05:50.379 --> 00:05:53.439 out they're the same movie. There's subliminal 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:55.819 advertising, and then there's holographic models. 00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:58.279 They would make 3D maps of the models and use 00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:01.980 them as holograms, which is also a weirdly prescient 00:06:01.980 --> 00:06:04.899 thing these days of using AI -generated images 00:06:04.899 --> 00:06:09.240 of people. But yeah, it was definitely when I 00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:13.420 was a kid, particularly a young preteen and stuff, 00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:15.800 it was like subliminal advertising is going to 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:17.639 get you. They're just, they're, they're, they're 00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:19.540 manipulating you with these images that you can't 00:06:19.540 --> 00:06:21.939 see, but your mind sees it and you don't realize. 00:06:22.139 --> 00:06:24.519 And it was, it was a bigger deal back in the 00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:26.220 day than it feels like it is now. Like now it's 00:06:26.220 --> 00:06:32.180 like, yeah, whatever. Yeah. It's crazy. So crazy. 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:41.480 Yeah. It was, it was very, very weird. Um, and 00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:52.269 yeah, so basically he, He basically plays the 00:06:52.269 --> 00:06:56.910 same character. He kind of is. He's a very efficient, 00:06:57.250 --> 00:07:04.329 controlling old jerk. Oh, wait. He was... This 00:07:04.329 --> 00:07:07.329 is his third one, isn't it? I'm getting it confused 00:07:07.329 --> 00:07:11.529 with the football one, too. Yeah. I'm not getting 00:07:11.529 --> 00:07:13.149 it confused, but that's the one I remember. He 00:07:13.149 --> 00:07:14.689 was the blackmailer in that other one, wasn't 00:07:14.689 --> 00:07:20.459 he? Yeah. So, yeah, Mr. Kennecutt, he blackmailed 00:07:20.459 --> 00:07:22.879 Mr. Kennecutt, and then he was in the football 00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:30.459 one. I mean, he was kind of blackmailing the 00:07:30.459 --> 00:07:32.319 victim this time, but he was blackmailing him 00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:39.800 to continue using the guy's services. Yeah. And 00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:42.120 the guy didn't do it. He basically killed him. 00:07:42.339 --> 00:07:47.759 Yeah. And this is, yeah, so this is Robert Culp's 00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:55.759 third of four appearances. So... Okay. We got 00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:59.100 Investigator Brimmer was the first in Death Lens 00:07:59.100 --> 00:08:03.060 of Hand. Most Crucial Game, Paul Hanlon, Bart 00:08:03.060 --> 00:08:07.060 Keppel in this. And then all the way down the 00:08:07.060 --> 00:08:11.540 line in 1990. The ABC series, yeah. Columbo goes 00:08:11.540 --> 00:08:16.139 to college. He plays Jordan Rowe. So we got Robert 00:08:16.139 --> 00:08:20.959 Culp in one more after this. Okay, so Culp ties 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.740 McGowan, because McGowan's in three NBCs and 00:08:24.740 --> 00:08:27.959 he's in one ABC. Oh, cool. So far. That's good. 00:08:28.060 --> 00:08:34.740 Very cool. But yeah, no, this was so much more 00:08:34.740 --> 00:08:40.000 fun than the last episode we did. As far as, 00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:42.419 like, the sheer enjoyment of actually watching 00:08:42.419 --> 00:08:45.700 a Columbo episode. Because no politics. Yay! 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:57.419 No campaign trail. No voting. Oh, boy. Let's 00:08:57.419 --> 00:08:59.940 see. I thought the salty caviar was going to 00:08:59.940 --> 00:09:05.779 come into more play. It kind of did. No, it did. 00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:15.710 But I thought that... Like, instead of, what's 00:09:15.710 --> 00:09:22.509 the guy's name? Norris. Vic Norris is the guy 00:09:22.509 --> 00:09:28.409 that he's trying to kill. So I thought that he 00:09:28.409 --> 00:09:32.370 was going to basically, and folks, when I say 00:09:32.370 --> 00:09:35.759 this. I'm saying this as of, you know, December 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:40.620 16th, 1973 terms. So I'm not trying to be sexist 00:09:40.620 --> 00:09:42.559 when I say this. I thought he was going to pull 00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:45.200 a woman's thing and poison the guy with the caviar. 00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:47.139 That's what I thought. I thought the guy was 00:09:47.139 --> 00:09:50.039 going to pass out in the hallway from being poisoned, 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:53.200 having food poisoning from caviar versus shooting 00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:56.700 him. I mean, but that would be very easy to connect 00:09:56.700 --> 00:10:00.879 him back. Well, true. Obviously. Yeah. But sort 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:04.080 of the shooting, too. Well, no. Actually, that 00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:06.240 was – I mean even Columbo admits that was clever 00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:09.100 because he had these guns up – he has these .45s 00:10:09.100 --> 00:10:11.820 up on the wall. Yeah. But he has a little doohickey 00:10:11.820 --> 00:10:14.059 that he can stick in the .45 so it shoots a .22. 00:10:14.580 --> 00:10:17.620 Yep. So when they come and they examine his guns, 00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:19.000 it's like, well, these aren't the right guns 00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:22.259 because I guess that also – I'm a little surprised 00:10:22.259 --> 00:10:25.740 that just the little insert got the carbon and 00:10:25.740 --> 00:10:28.899 the scoric and the whatever you call it from 00:10:28.899 --> 00:10:31.860 shooting a gun. None of that got into the rest 00:10:31.860 --> 00:10:34.360 of the gun. Because, you know, ballistics can 00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:36.200 tell if you fired a gun because it's got gun 00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:39.899 powder and burns and stuff. But, yeah, that all 00:10:39.899 --> 00:10:42.120 was in the little thing that he stuck down the 00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:47.320 barrel. And it was the wrong caliber. So it was 00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:50.539 very clever. So the whole thing is he sets it 00:10:50.539 --> 00:10:52.320 up so he's presenting this film that he made 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:55.639 for the guy. What's the guy's name again? Victim. 00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:59.639 Vic Norris. Vic Norris. Vic Norris' company. 00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.659 And he's supposed to be narrating the film on 00:11:03.659 --> 00:11:09.059 stage in kind of the shadows. And he's fed him 00:11:09.059 --> 00:11:13.539 a bunch of Iranian caviar. And I was like, caviar 00:11:13.539 --> 00:11:16.779 from Iran? But apparently Iranian caviar is considered 00:11:16.779 --> 00:11:18.980 the best in the world. Because they're on the 00:11:18.980 --> 00:11:22.139 Black Sea, the Caspian Sea? I don't know. Caviar, 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:23.480 for those of you who don't know, is fish eggs. 00:11:24.539 --> 00:11:27.899 And it's very salty. The trick is, they don't 00:11:27.899 --> 00:11:29.750 really... They explain it a little bit later, 00:11:29.809 --> 00:11:31.389 but the point is that the caviar is very, very 00:11:31.389 --> 00:11:34.570 salty. And he's also turned up the heat in the 00:11:34.570 --> 00:11:38.350 auditorium. So that the guy – and he's put in 00:11:38.350 --> 00:11:41.929 subliminal images of a cool, refreshing drink 00:11:41.929 --> 00:11:46.210 in the film. So that Norris is kind of like, 00:11:46.309 --> 00:11:47.929 I'm really thirsty, I'm really thirsty, I'm really 00:11:47.929 --> 00:11:50.610 thirsty. So he finally gets up and he goes and 00:11:50.610 --> 00:11:53.330 gets some water from the fountain in the hallway. 00:11:54.409 --> 00:11:57.639 And Keppel – Like Keppel's speech has been recorded 00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:00.620 on a tape player. So he kind of leads his position, 00:12:00.659 --> 00:12:02.059 and everyone thinks he's still on stage and shoots 00:12:02.059 --> 00:12:08.000 him with the gun. So it's a very elaborate scheme, 00:12:08.139 --> 00:12:09.659 but compared to the last one we talked about, 00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:16.039 it seems extremely well thought out. Hello? Yeah, 00:12:16.059 --> 00:12:19.980 I'm here. I'm listening. Yeah. Yeah, it was very 00:12:19.980 --> 00:12:23.960 well thought out compared to the last one. And 00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:27.059 yeah, it could either be the Caspian Sea or the 00:12:27.059 --> 00:12:30.299 Arabian Sea. No, it's the Caspian, man. Okay. 00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:35.899 I didn't realize. I went to an American public 00:12:35.899 --> 00:12:38.000 school. I thought Iran was landlocked. I didn't 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:41.500 realize it was on a... I was like, caviar from 00:12:41.500 --> 00:12:47.779 Iran? That's crazy! No, it's the other country. 00:12:47.860 --> 00:12:51.360 It's the one to the left of Iran that's landlocked. 00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:55.580 It's the one where, you know, that insane person, 00:12:55.779 --> 00:13:00.480 you know. Oh, well, that narrows it down. No, 00:13:00.500 --> 00:13:07.419 no, no. To the left of Iran. Okay, left isn't 00:13:07.419 --> 00:13:14.179 a geographical. Oh, God. Fine. He was insane. 00:13:15.220 --> 00:13:24.240 Like, you know, in the brain. Fine. I say worse 00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:27.259 things on Saddam. Iraq. So you're talking about 00:13:27.259 --> 00:13:29.500 Iraq? Yeah, Iraq is the landlocked. That's forbid 00:13:29.500 --> 00:13:32.279 now? That's joined Hitler and Germany and Nazi 00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:34.059 that we're not allowed to say that anymore? Jesus. 00:13:36.700 --> 00:13:42.879 Iraq is the landlocked one. It's got a little 00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:45.120 tiny thing that reaches out to the Persian Gulf. 00:13:45.939 --> 00:13:49.039 Tiny being the opposite word there. The point 00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:51.840 being that apparently Iranian caviar is, in fact, 00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:53.340 because I looked that up at the time, I was like, 00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:56.200 Iranian caviar is, in fact, considered one of 00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:59.299 the best, the best caviar in the world. Yep. 00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.480 So, points to them for detail. Absolutely. And 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:08.659 for another good movie with caviar in it, just 00:14:08.659 --> 00:14:13.659 watch Tomorrow... Yeah, Tomorrow Never Dies. 00:14:14.580 --> 00:14:19.899 1997. James Bond. Pierce Brosnan. There you go. 00:14:20.740 --> 00:14:26.480 No, the world is not enough. 1999. Anyway, Columbo. 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:30.700 My brain's all over the place today. Yeah, this 00:14:30.700 --> 00:14:34.200 one was good. This one was really good. Again, 00:14:34.620 --> 00:14:40.340 Columbo in this. Man. His facial features in 00:14:40.340 --> 00:14:46.800 some of these season three episodes so far. Man, 00:14:46.800 --> 00:14:51.019 what's going on with this guy? Like, he just 00:14:51.019 --> 00:14:55.460 seems like, I don't know what his wife is putting 00:14:55.460 --> 00:14:57.799 in her cooking, but she's putting something in 00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:01.139 her cooking because yikes, dude. Yeah, but we 00:15:01.139 --> 00:15:03.480 also established that he does the shopping. That's 00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:13.500 true. But just because he does the shopping doesn't 00:15:13.500 --> 00:15:15.759 mean that, she can't put the arsenic and old 00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:23.799 lace in the cooking. They put that in the tea, 00:15:23.860 --> 00:15:27.720 by the way, not the food. Yeah, well, you know, 00:15:27.779 --> 00:15:31.580 it is what it is. But yeah, no, absolutely. Absolutely 00:15:31.580 --> 00:15:34.720 enjoyed this one. This one was so fun. And like 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.700 you already said in the last episode, I already 00:15:37.700 --> 00:15:40.299 wrote this down a note. As soon as I heard him 00:15:40.299 --> 00:15:46.779 say it, sorry, I took some of your food. I took 00:15:46.779 --> 00:15:49.799 some of your caviar. I was working late on that 00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:55.179 Hayward case. Yeah. Oh, man. That just warmed. 00:15:55.799 --> 00:16:00.500 Because so far, in three seasons, the way I've 00:16:00.500 --> 00:16:03.299 always described Columbo is every case is a different 00:16:03.299 --> 00:16:06.000 case, even though it's just Columbo. But every 00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:09.279 case is a different play. Every case is a different 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:13.090 act. Every case is a different scene. It's not 00:16:13.090 --> 00:16:20.169 really like you don't have Brimmer and Hanlon 00:16:20.169 --> 00:16:24.909 and Kepler or Keppel. You don't have those three 00:16:24.909 --> 00:16:28.649 villains coming together and conspiring like 00:16:28.649 --> 00:16:32.230 that would be interesting. But that would never 00:16:32.230 --> 00:16:34.509 happen, obviously. So when I saw that, I was 00:16:34.509 --> 00:16:39.070 like continuity in Columbo. That's amazing. Yeah. 00:16:39.169 --> 00:16:41.750 Do you have it open that you could. Tell who 00:16:41.750 --> 00:16:46.669 wrote the two episodes? Yeah, probably. So, you're 00:16:46.669 --> 00:16:48.470 talking about... I'm talking about the one that 00:16:48.470 --> 00:16:51.149 we just saw. The two that we're talking about 00:16:51.149 --> 00:16:52.970 today. Yeah, yeah. I don't know when they're 00:16:52.970 --> 00:16:58.690 listening to this, but... So, the story for Candidate 00:16:58.690 --> 00:17:02.330 for Crime was done by Larry Cohen. Teleplay... 00:17:02.330 --> 00:17:04.910 It's written up differently because it was done 00:17:04.910 --> 00:17:08.230 differently. Story by Larry Cohen, teleplay by 00:17:08.230 --> 00:17:12.650 Irving Perlberg and Alvin R. Friedman, along 00:17:12.650 --> 00:17:16.369 with Roland Kibbe and Dean Hargrove. So Dean 00:17:16.369 --> 00:17:19.769 Hargrove did part of the teleplay on Candidate 00:17:19.769 --> 00:17:22.970 for Crime. This story, though, the reason why 00:17:22.970 --> 00:17:29.210 this is so good. Three initials. SJC. Can you 00:17:29.210 --> 00:17:33.869 guess? Stephen J. Cannell. Damn straight. But 00:17:33.869 --> 00:17:35.710 there's no continuity there, so that's interesting. 00:17:36.109 --> 00:17:39.009 No, yeah. No, but the people, so I'm just like... 00:17:39.009 --> 00:17:41.349 Yeah, I thought it was like... You could see 00:17:41.349 --> 00:17:43.089 if someone wrote the two episodes, they did a 00:17:43.089 --> 00:17:47.470 nod, but that's not the case. Yeah, there's no 00:17:47.470 --> 00:17:51.650 continuity between the writers, but... Oh, man. 00:17:52.609 --> 00:17:57.589 Yeah. Oh, Stephen J. Connell. I love his work. 00:17:58.049 --> 00:18:03.009 So good. He was 69 when he passed in 2010. Man, 00:18:03.009 --> 00:18:05.130 I miss that guy. This is the kind of writing 00:18:05.130 --> 00:18:07.470 we need in Hollywood now. It'll never happen 00:18:07.470 --> 00:18:09.670 again, but this is the kind of writing we need 00:18:09.670 --> 00:18:11.650 in Hollywood now because it's actually good. 00:18:12.630 --> 00:18:14.869 I don't know that it'll never happen again. I 00:18:14.869 --> 00:18:18.769 think that's a little... Man, let me tell you, 00:18:18.869 --> 00:18:24.130 with this AI stuff trying to take over, they 00:18:24.130 --> 00:18:29.470 want us to not use our brains. Humans might as 00:18:29.470 --> 00:18:32.650 well not have brains anymore. type three words 00:18:32.650 --> 00:18:35.509 into chat gpt and let it just do what it wants 00:18:35.509 --> 00:18:40.609 no thank you i mean at the end of the day i think 00:18:40.609 --> 00:18:42.990 people are gonna i mean either either the ai 00:18:42.990 --> 00:18:45.809 will get better like get really better or people 00:18:45.809 --> 00:18:51.109 just choose people just choose the um the stuff 00:18:51.109 --> 00:18:54.919 actually written by humans i mean that's the 00:18:54.919 --> 00:18:56.940 inexplicable thing that's going on now is why, 00:18:57.000 --> 00:18:59.640 why there isn't a shift or there is the shift 00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:01.599 is so slow. It's like, we're going to make the 00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:02.880 kind of stuff we're going to make for an audience 00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:06.400 that doesn't exist. And okay. Well, curse you 00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:07.640 audience for not supporting the thing that we 00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:11.859 didn't make for you. Okay. So at the end of the 00:19:11.859 --> 00:19:14.559 day, JCPenney was right. Like the customer is 00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:17.019 always right. Because not because they're actually 00:19:17.019 --> 00:19:19.039 right. Not because they're correct, but because 00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:24.210 they have the money. And they can choose to spend 00:19:24.210 --> 00:19:27.509 it on other things than your movie or TV show. 00:19:27.950 --> 00:19:31.750 True. And, you know, at the end of the day, these 00:19:31.750 --> 00:19:33.910 guys are going to I'm surprised they've held 00:19:33.910 --> 00:19:39.630 out as long as they have. But so I saw a I was 00:19:39.630 --> 00:19:44.130 so when you I don't you're not on Instagram, 00:19:44.349 --> 00:19:47.190 right? I don't think you are. OK, I just want 00:19:47.190 --> 00:19:54.519 to make sure. So I'm on Instagram. I put photos 00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:56.960 on Instagram. Sometimes I put music to those 00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:59.480 photos at times, but I pretty much only do photos. 00:19:59.539 --> 00:20:02.140 Sometimes I do video, but it's very rarely that 00:20:02.140 --> 00:20:07.119 I do video. But I will scroll through Instagram 00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:09.839 reels. I will start on somebody that I follow, 00:20:10.019 --> 00:20:12.720 like if somebody posts a reel on Instagram, which 00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:15.319 is essentially a short -form video. They have 00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:19.500 those on Facebook. Yeah, I know. And I will start 00:20:19.500 --> 00:20:22.609 scrolling. And I came across something that I 00:20:22.609 --> 00:20:25.250 don't follow this person and I don't follow their 00:20:25.250 --> 00:20:29.130 whatever. And it was these guys on this podcast 00:20:29.130 --> 00:20:32.609 or whatever. And they said something to the effect 00:20:32.609 --> 00:20:36.730 of why TikTok became so popular because they 00:20:36.730 --> 00:20:40.339 created the for you. feed and they basically 00:20:40.339 --> 00:20:42.700 just told you what you're going to watch they 00:20:42.700 --> 00:20:44.799 didn't give you a choice they weren't allowing 00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:49.539 you to choose your own and my the thing is no 00:20:49.539 --> 00:20:54.019 it didn't work because no i want to choose what 00:20:54.019 --> 00:20:59.700 i want to okay you put this in the terms that 00:20:59.700 --> 00:21:04.839 we all can well i'll put i'll put this in toy 00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:08.579 terms Would you rather go into a toy store and 00:21:08.579 --> 00:21:12.779 have the toy store employee tell you, you can 00:21:12.779 --> 00:21:16.299 buy this toy, that toy, and that toy, or would 00:21:16.299 --> 00:21:18.559 you rather go in and actually choose for yourself? 00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:22.279 I want to choose for myself. I don't want to 00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:26.180 have to be told that I can buy this, this, or 00:21:26.180 --> 00:21:30.660 this. That's stupid. So no, TikTok didn't work. 00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:34.079 I will never install that Chinese software. Sorry, 00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:38.609 not sorry. There are just certain lines that 00:21:38.609 --> 00:21:42.390 I will draw on certain things, and back to the 00:21:42.390 --> 00:21:46.109 writing thing with Mr. Connell here, I love the 00:21:46.109 --> 00:21:49.569 way that he writes stories, whether it's Columbo, 00:21:49.630 --> 00:21:51.430 whether it's A -Team, whether it's whatever. 00:21:52.630 --> 00:21:55.829 He's a good, he was a good storyteller, and I 00:21:55.829 --> 00:22:00.470 wish writing like this would come back. And I 00:22:00.470 --> 00:22:02.009 don't think it's going to come back in my lifetime 00:22:02.009 --> 00:22:06.660 with AI around, because... AI just makes people 00:22:06.660 --> 00:22:17.559 lazy. Anyway. So yeah. Let's see. The tape recorder 00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:21.180 Keppel already set in motion a scheme to make 00:22:21.180 --> 00:22:24.559 it seem that the crime was committed by Norris' 00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:29.480 wife. He tried to set up his... Oh my god. He 00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:32.619 tried to set up his client's wife. Man, he kept 00:22:32.619 --> 00:22:36.180 beating that drum way after. Yeah, he did. Yeah, 00:22:36.180 --> 00:22:39.640 no, I'm not going after her. Yeah, no. No, no, 00:22:39.680 --> 00:22:42.940 no. Yeah, that's the thing. Columbo didn't go 00:22:42.940 --> 00:22:45.740 after the women in either one of the... in the 00:22:45.740 --> 00:22:49.000 last episode or this one. Like, the women were 00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:51.279 not the problem. It was the men that were the 00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:54.779 problem. Well, Columbo rarely goes after somebody 00:22:54.779 --> 00:22:57.579 who's, like, not... I know what you're saying, 00:22:57.660 --> 00:23:00.359 but, like, I... It wasn't even an issue in the 00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:02.559 last one. This one, she was clearly being set 00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:06.019 up, and he figured very quickly that she had 00:23:06.019 --> 00:23:13.519 nothing to do with it. And I absolutely love 00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:18.640 the way that Columbo, again, Columbo is learning 00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:21.960 about the things, and he learns about the subliminal 00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:24.200 cuts, and he creates his own. I thought that 00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:27.040 was so cool that he used it against her. That 00:23:27.040 --> 00:23:33.980 was so good. Absolutely amazing. I particularly 00:23:33.980 --> 00:23:37.420 love the very end when Keppel kind of like loses 00:23:37.420 --> 00:23:40.380 it. You know, it doesn't feel completely berserk, 00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:42.539 but he's giggling and he's laughing. He's like, 00:23:42.579 --> 00:23:44.680 I'm the only guy who could have taught you how 00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:46.500 to do that to get me. And Clem was like, yes, 00:23:46.500 --> 00:23:52.930 sir, you were. Yep. Yep, absolutely. Because 00:23:52.930 --> 00:23:55.170 Columbo is not going to start an argument with 00:23:55.170 --> 00:23:58.329 a guy that's not necessarily – he was under arrest. 00:23:58.410 --> 00:24:02.069 They did say you are under arrest. Officer. But 00:24:02.069 --> 00:24:04.710 he wasn't in handcuffs yet, but it was close. 00:24:04.809 --> 00:24:07.269 They were about to. I don't think Columbo was 00:24:07.269 --> 00:24:09.329 lying. I mean, he got the idea from Keppel's 00:24:09.329 --> 00:24:12.289 book. No, absolutely. No, no, no. I know, but 00:24:12.289 --> 00:24:15.529 I'm saying, like, the thing about this show is 00:24:15.529 --> 00:24:21.230 that the show ends. And we've talked about this 00:24:21.230 --> 00:24:24.539 before. It essentially ends like right before 00:24:24.539 --> 00:24:28.920 you see them being shackled in the bracelets 00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:32.019 or right before they're actually taken out of 00:24:32.019 --> 00:24:34.140 the room or put into the police car kind of thing. 00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:36.660 So not to say that the criminal is going to, 00:24:36.660 --> 00:24:39.380 haha, I'm going to get away from you. Like I'm 00:24:39.380 --> 00:24:44.960 going to run and do something stupid. But I think 00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:48.920 one of the interesting things about, as I've 00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:50.240 talked about, like particularly earlier on when 00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:53.089 we started doing this. is the people that Columbo 00:24:53.089 --> 00:24:56.690 goes after or is pitted up against are generally, 00:24:56.769 --> 00:25:01.869 you know, of a higher rank in society. So while 00:25:01.869 --> 00:25:04.569 they have more necessarily resources to do something 00:25:04.569 --> 00:25:06.890 like, like, you know, it's not like a common 00:25:06.890 --> 00:25:09.710 guy, you know, a kid off the street who, you 00:25:09.710 --> 00:25:10.890 know, obviously is going to make a run for it, 00:25:10.910 --> 00:25:14.009 you know, whereas this, you know, Keppel, where's 00:25:14.009 --> 00:25:15.950 he going to go? You know, what's he going to 00:25:15.950 --> 00:25:18.950 do? He's Dr. Keppel. Like they know who he is. 00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:21.759 There's no sneaking out on an airplane. There's 00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:25.920 no hiding out somewhere. No. And most of these 00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:29.319 people wouldn't, like, part of it is their eliteness 00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:32.420 won't allow them to lay low in, like, a flop 00:25:32.420 --> 00:25:36.099 house or, you know. So there really is no point 00:25:36.099 --> 00:25:39.240 in trying to escape. Yeah, very true. And I imagine 00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:42.460 some of them, again, it's never brought up and 00:25:42.460 --> 00:25:44.259 it's never really dealt with, but some of them, 00:25:44.259 --> 00:25:47.660 you know, probably can afford. Again, this predates 00:25:47.660 --> 00:25:50.329 the O .J. Simpson thing. what, 20, 30 years? 00:25:50.869 --> 00:25:53.930 But they got lawyers. I've always wondered how 00:25:53.930 --> 00:25:57.309 many people fought their conviction, fought their 00:25:57.309 --> 00:26:03.049 prosecution and won. I do know that one of the 00:26:03.049 --> 00:26:07.009 ABC ones that we'll get to someday involves the 00:26:07.009 --> 00:26:10.910 whatever you want to call it, rebooter, involves 00:26:10.910 --> 00:26:15.309 the wife of one of the people that Columbo put 00:26:15.309 --> 00:26:18.660 away. Oh, wow. Very cool. Yeah, that's the rest 00:26:18.660 --> 00:26:21.960 in peace, Mrs. Columbo. Oh, yeah. She wants revenge, 00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:28.400 so she's going to kill Mrs. Columbo. Boy, that's 00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:34.059 crazy. Anything else with double exposure? No, 00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:36.779 it was interesting for me because, again, like 00:26:36.779 --> 00:26:41.460 I said, it's a sign of the times. As you just 00:26:41.460 --> 00:26:45.680 went off on AI and CGP, whatever that thing is. 00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:47.799 At the time, it was subliminal advertising that 00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:50.740 was going to destroy us all. And now that's kind 00:26:50.740 --> 00:26:52.640 of like, eh, whatever. Now it's the AI that's 00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:55.599 going to destroy us. You get to be a certain 00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:59.380 age, and it's like everything's going to destroy 00:26:59.380 --> 00:27:03.240 us all. And you start to develop a certain callous 00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:06.960 in your psyche against the doomsday predictions 00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:12.259 of everybody. You're a little younger than me, 00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:14.339 but we both lived through the possibility of 00:27:14.339 --> 00:27:17.880 nuclear war. which, which, you know, and even, 00:27:17.900 --> 00:27:19.460 even I felt like in the eighties, it didn't seem 00:27:19.460 --> 00:27:23.160 that imminent, but like, um, you're still on 00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:25.140 people's minds that, you know, humanity could 00:27:25.140 --> 00:27:27.599 just start shooting missiles any minute. Um, 00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:30.339 now it's, you know, there's just, there's a new 00:27:30.339 --> 00:27:32.500 dooms. You know, now there's a meteor head towards 00:27:32.500 --> 00:27:35.099 us. There's always something that's going to 00:27:35.099 --> 00:27:37.400 take us down. And it was like, okay, look, just 00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:43.160 kill us or get it over with. Like, I'm done freaking 00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:45.420 out about every little thing that could possibly 00:27:45.420 --> 00:27:49.720 go wrong. Because you can't, there's no way to 00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:53.079 live. Yeah, there's no way to live. How dare 00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:57.119 we live that way? Oh, boy. Yeah, absolutely. 00:27:57.700 --> 00:27:59.660 All right, folks, I think that's going to do 00:27:59.660 --> 00:28:02.920 it for us. But first, we do have to rate this 00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:13.400 episode. It's easy for me. 4 .5. Wow. Yeah. Enjoyed 00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:16.500 this way more. Well, yeah. Than the last one. 00:28:16.859 --> 00:28:18.460 You know, this is one that's never been a big 00:28:18.460 --> 00:28:22.339 favorite of mine, but I really did enjoy Robert 00:28:22.339 --> 00:28:28.279 Culp. So I would probably lean towards a 4. I 00:28:28.279 --> 00:28:29.460 also didn't mention there was a second murder, 00:28:29.579 --> 00:28:32.660 which gets completely blown over. Yeah. He kills 00:28:32.660 --> 00:28:34.559 the Projectionist, which Columbo figures out. 00:28:34.900 --> 00:28:38.420 Yeah. The second murders are always weird because 00:28:38.420 --> 00:28:41.140 they rarely really factor into it, and it's like, 00:28:41.180 --> 00:28:45.839 but you killed another person. That's a whole 00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:50.140 separate trial. That's another human life that 00:28:50.140 --> 00:28:54.180 you took. Yeah, I would give it a four for Robert 00:28:54.180 --> 00:28:57.880 Coppola. As I said in the last one, usually you're 00:28:57.880 --> 00:28:59.420 watching for Columbo, but when you have a really 00:28:59.420 --> 00:29:01.420 good guest star, it elevates it. Absolutely. 00:29:02.779 --> 00:29:04.920 All right, folks, I think that's going to do 00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:09.279 it for us. I would recommend this one to people. 00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:13.460 We are looking forward to the next one. The next 00:29:13.460 --> 00:29:20.259 one is Publish or Perish, written by Peter S. 00:29:20.380 --> 00:29:24.039 Fisher. Never heard of that person. It has Jack 00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:29.319 Cassidy and John Chandler. along with Mickey 00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:36.240 Spillane. Yeah. So that's the next one that we'll 00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:38.460 be doing. That's that. We're going to go to a 00:29:38.460 --> 00:29:40.660 quick ad break and hear some podcast ads, some 00:29:40.660 --> 00:29:42.480 other stuff. We'll come back to close the show 00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:45.480 right after this. Corner says that the victim, 00:29:45.660 --> 00:29:48.059 Norris, was evidently killed by one shot through 00:29:48.059 --> 00:29:50.980 the heart. Small caliber bullet. But he won't 00:29:50.980 --> 00:29:53.680 be certain until we have ballistics report tomorrow. 00:29:54.279 --> 00:29:56.650 Now, everyone's been searched. We're going through 00:29:56.650 --> 00:29:58.210 the building now, looking for the murder weapon. 00:29:59.250 --> 00:30:02.269 It is possible to come in through either of two 00:30:02.269 --> 00:30:04.930 separate entrances, one at the front of the building 00:30:04.930 --> 00:30:07.529 and the service entrance at the rear. Both were 00:30:07.529 --> 00:30:12.069 unlocked. You get all that, Lieutenant? Oh, yeah. 00:30:12.970 --> 00:30:16.130 Yeah, I got every word. Excuse me, I'm a little 00:30:16.130 --> 00:30:17.750 hungry. I missed dinner tonight, working late 00:30:17.750 --> 00:30:21.049 on that Hayward case. No, he's not bad. Warner's 00:30:21.049 --> 00:30:22.829 taking the body away, Lieutenant. All right, 00:30:22.849 --> 00:30:27.890 listen, Sergeant, I'll be right there. Um, I'm 00:30:27.890 --> 00:30:29.789 a little hungry. I missed dinner tonight, so 00:30:29.789 --> 00:30:31.730 I'm just going to grab a few of these canopies. 00:30:31.789 --> 00:30:36.390 I'll be right with you.

Yeah, what is it? You know how I 00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:05.640 liked the 1990s comic book series, The New Warriors? 00:33:06.779 --> 00:33:11.319 Yes, yes, yep. And you know how at the Long Boss 00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:13.220 Crusade we're trying to get the YouTube channel 00:33:13.220 --> 00:33:18.339 going? Yes, also correct. Well, thanks. So... 00:33:18.640 --> 00:33:20.559 How about you and me do a live stream show about 00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:22.779 the new warriors? You've never read the books 00:33:22.779 --> 00:33:25.279 before, and I have them, and so that's a great 00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:28.599 setup. We could give it a catchy name, like Come 00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:30.859 Out to Play. Don't you think that's the greatest 00:33:30.859 --> 00:33:34.200 idea? Sure, sure, sure, Delvin. That's a great 00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:38.859 idea. Just one question. Yeah? Why do you have 00:33:38.859 --> 00:33:41.220 me dangling off this ledge holding me by only 00:33:41.220 --> 00:33:47.599 one arm? Oh, yeah.

I also talk about the Transformers the 00:36:15.309 --> 00:36:17.849 movie about as much as I talk about Boba Fett. 00:36:17.949 --> 00:36:20.449 My guests are independent artists who tell their 00:36:20.449 --> 00:36:23.610 stories and give terrific advice about pursuing 00:36:23.610 --> 00:36:26.070 your creative interests, and I encourage you 00:36:26.070 --> 00:36:29.170 to do the same thing, even if I can't take my 00:36:29.170 --> 00:36:32.230 own advice.

Hello, Julie, what the heck 00:40:00.500 --> 00:40:02.559 are you doing? Trying to make our spot sound 00:40:02.559 --> 00:40:05.579 more exciting by adding explosions. Yeah, I'm 00:40:05.579 --> 00:40:06.900 pretty sure you could have got the point across 00:40:06.900 --> 00:40:11.130 with sound effects, not the real thing.

What is that, 00:40:22.710 --> 00:40:31.750 doctor? I'll be a son of a gun. A calibration 00:40:31.750 --> 00:40:58.769 converter. Cut nicely into a .45 automatic. That's 00:40:58.769 --> 00:41:01.050 why the barrel and the chambers were clean when 00:41:01.050 --> 00:41:03.570 ballistics checked out the gun. That's a lovely 00:41:03.570 --> 00:41:08.449 touch. A converter. I never figured on a converter. 00:41:08.889 --> 00:41:12.590 And one hidden in a lamp. Doc, I would have sworn 00:41:12.590 --> 00:41:15.110 you had a gun hidden in here. And I was trying 00:41:15.110 --> 00:41:18.289 to smoke you out. But I never figured on this. 00:41:18.909 --> 00:41:22.969 A subliminal cut.
