WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.160 Hey, hey, hey, it's Chaos Queen here, and you're 00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:06.040 listening to the Geekcast Radio Network. Hey, 00:00:06.099 --> 00:00:08.619 it's Mistress Carrie, and you are listening to 00:00:08.619 --> 00:00:13.039 Studio 2009. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Studio 00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:18.719 2009, episode 175. I am TFG1 Mike from the Geekcast 00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:22.620 Radio Network, and I am recording this pre -intro 00:00:22.620 --> 00:00:25.920 intro, or preamble of an intro, or whatever you're 00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:30.429 going to call this, but this is a... I don't 00:00:30.429 --> 00:00:33.109 know what the hell it's called, folks. It's the 00:00:33.109 --> 00:00:37.570 pre -show before the pre -show. I'll insert that 00:00:37.570 --> 00:00:40.329 joke here so you guys know what I'm talking about. 00:00:40.429 --> 00:00:43.630 Pre -show? What was the pre -show? So everything 00:00:43.630 --> 00:00:49.009 you saw before that was pre -the show? Which 00:00:49.009 --> 00:00:51.969 makes a pre -show! Anyway, this is the 175th 00:00:51.969 --> 00:00:56.850 episode of Studio 2009. We have 25 episodes to 00:00:56.850 --> 00:01:00.090 the 200th episode. This is an episode of the 00:01:00.090 --> 00:01:03.030 Columbo Files. I have no idea which episode this 00:01:03.030 --> 00:01:06.890 is as I'm recording this before I edit the 175th 00:01:06.890 --> 00:01:09.950 episode, but I wanted to record this preamble 00:01:09.950 --> 00:01:12.650 to let you know, folks, and I'm sure you do know 00:01:12.650 --> 00:01:18.510 by now. From episode 175 to episode 200, some 00:01:18.510 --> 00:01:23.430 of the episodes between 175 and 200 are recorded 00:01:23.430 --> 00:01:27.230 out of order. Some of them were recorded in 2025. 00:01:28.390 --> 00:01:31.730 Some of them might have clips like this in them 00:01:31.730 --> 00:01:35.349 telling you that. But I'm telling you now, if 00:01:35.349 --> 00:01:38.530 there is no clip in front of any episode that 00:01:38.530 --> 00:01:43.670 was recorded in 2025, All of the Columbophile 00:01:43.670 --> 00:01:48.010 episodes from here on, from episode 175 to 178, 00:01:48.109 --> 00:01:51.349 all of that was recorded last year. So that's 00:01:51.349 --> 00:01:54.769 all recorded in 2025. Episode 179 was recorded 00:01:54.769 --> 00:02:02.469 in 2025. Episode 183 or 184 or 185, I forget. 00:02:03.129 --> 00:02:05.769 We had a bunch of stuff that I recorded last 00:02:05.769 --> 00:02:08.719 year. And you guys, I think if you're listening 00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:11.259 to the podcast, you should know why that is. 00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:14.860 I had ulnar nerve surgery on my left arm. If 00:02:14.860 --> 00:02:16.620 you've been listening to the podcast for the 00:02:16.620 --> 00:02:20.039 last five years since we launched it June 2nd 00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:24.979 of 2020, if you've been listening to the Geekcast 00:02:24.979 --> 00:02:28.000 Radio Network at all in the last almost 17 years 00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:33.530 of the podcast network, you'll know that I, TFG1 00:02:33.530 --> 00:02:36.110 Mike, was born with cerebral palsy on my right 00:02:36.110 --> 00:02:39.430 side. So my left arm is the only arm I have to 00:02:39.430 --> 00:02:42.469 use in life. Well, I had to have ulnar nerve 00:02:42.469 --> 00:02:44.969 surgery done on my left arm, so I couldn't use 00:02:44.969 --> 00:02:48.310 either one of my arms last year. Yay! Isn't that 00:02:48.310 --> 00:02:51.870 fun? And I've always been honest and open with 00:02:51.870 --> 00:02:54.789 the audience. I'm not one of those people that 00:02:54.789 --> 00:02:58.530 sugarcoats things on podcasts. I'm perfectly 00:02:58.530 --> 00:03:01.939 fine with... Talking real life with you guys. 00:03:02.620 --> 00:03:06.639 So anyway. The Columbo Files. Episode 175. 25 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:11.280 to 200. Let's go. Enjoy the episode folks. And 00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:14.300 thank you for listening as always. Also. Really 00:03:14.300 --> 00:03:16.919 quick. Before I forget. Before I have to re -record 00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:20.479 this whole damn thing. 25 episodes in 25 days. 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:25.199 Do you guys want that? I like doing this as a 00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:29.000 daily show. It doesn't always happen daily, but 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:33.620 when I can get up the energy to record, edit, 00:03:33.900 --> 00:03:38.500 and publish a podcast on a daily basis, like 00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:43.659 we currently have enough content, we will have 00:03:43.659 --> 00:03:48.060 enough content where I can edit and publish the 00:03:48.060 --> 00:03:54.259 25 episodes for 25 days. So do you guys want... 00:03:54.650 --> 00:04:00.590 25 days of Studio 2009. Let me know. Email feedback 00:04:00.590 --> 00:04:04.389 at geekcastradio .com. Put in the subject line, 00:04:04.530 --> 00:04:09.689 Studio 2009, 25 days of Studio 2009. That's what 00:04:09.689 --> 00:04:12.969 you should put. 25 days of Studio 2009 in the 00:04:12.969 --> 00:04:16.170 subject line. Let me know. Let me know immediately. 00:04:16.629 --> 00:04:20.050 Hell, tweet at me on Twitter, at TF2 and Mike, 00:04:20.110 --> 00:04:24.269 or at Geekcast Radio. Let me know. Because I 00:04:24.269 --> 00:04:29.029 like doing it daily. I know podcasting has never 00:04:29.029 --> 00:04:31.250 been radio. It never has been. It never will 00:04:31.250 --> 00:04:34.370 be. I don't want podcasting to be radio. But 00:04:34.370 --> 00:04:40.649 I fucking like it. I really do. I like having 00:04:40.649 --> 00:04:47.990 the whole magilla of saying... I like this accomplishment 00:04:47.990 --> 00:04:52.430 after... Almost 18 years, like this December, 00:04:52.589 --> 00:05:00.569 18 years, December 12th of 2026 will be my 18th 00:05:00.569 --> 00:05:03.790 year of podcasting. And I like that I've reached 00:05:03.790 --> 00:05:07.430 the point of having so much content because unfortunately 00:05:07.430 --> 00:05:11.329 I couldn't publish content last year. But I like 00:05:11.329 --> 00:05:13.930 having the point of, oh my God, I can publish 00:05:13.930 --> 00:05:21.000 a daily show for 25 days. work my ass off and 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:23.540 get it all edited and get it scheduled, that 00:05:23.540 --> 00:05:27.000 would be amazing. But let me know if that's something 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:28.839 that you guys want. I'm probably going to give 00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.339 it to you anyway, but if I can, as long as I 00:05:31.339 --> 00:05:37.420 can. Anyway, like I said, Columbo Files. I believe 00:05:37.420 --> 00:05:40.480 this is, well, this is season three, episode 00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:44.180 five of the Columbo Files. Thanks for listening 00:05:44.180 --> 00:05:47.220 as always, folks. Please enjoy the podcast and 00:05:47.220 --> 00:06:08.800 I will see you soon. We found this key on the 00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:11.680 office floor, a few feet from Mr. Mallory's body. 00:06:12.259 --> 00:06:14.920 Well, evidently it belongs to him. No, sir. We 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.500 checked the victim's key ring. The one that fit 00:06:17.500 --> 00:06:21.759 the outer door was on his person. This key. Your 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:27.540 key. This is the fellow that bothers me. I've 00:06:27.540 --> 00:06:29.100 already told you. I don't know anything about 00:06:29.100 --> 00:06:32.019 it. What bothers you about it, Lieutenant? How 00:06:32.019 --> 00:06:35.399 it got there? Could have been dropped days before. 00:06:37.149 --> 00:06:39.870 Do you own a .38 Smith & Wesson revolver? Not 00:06:39.870 --> 00:06:41.689 just a minute. David, I have nothing to hide. 00:06:42.370 --> 00:06:44.129 Yes, I do own a pistol, but I don't know what 00:06:44.129 --> 00:06:45.910 make it is. There is nothing wrong with your 00:06:45.910 --> 00:06:48.170 podcast, player. Do not attempt to adjust the 00:06:48.170 --> 00:06:50.310 volume. Hello and welcome back into our studio. 00:06:50.389 --> 00:06:53.649 You are now inside Studio 2009, only on the GeekCast 00:06:53.649 --> 00:06:55.370 Radio Network. I'm, of course, Steve Chu and 00:06:55.370 --> 00:06:57.790 Mike. And once again is that good old detective, 00:06:57.949 --> 00:07:01.310 Dave Draper. Hi, Dave. How are you? I'm okay. 00:07:01.389 --> 00:07:05.819 How are you? I'm falling apart, but what else? 00:07:05.899 --> 00:07:08.899 Well, yeah, I think, yeah, I'm falling apart, 00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:11.259 too. I'm just used to it by this point. Yeah, 00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:13.759 well, I'm not used to the fact that it seems 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:15.740 like the whole right side of my body is falling, 00:07:15.779 --> 00:07:18.459 literally, from my shoulder to my right foot, 00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:21.100 which is the entirety of the cerebral palsy part 00:07:21.100 --> 00:07:23.699 of my body. It seems like it's revolting against 00:07:23.699 --> 00:07:28.120 me completely. Like, I haven't had a non -pain 00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:31.000 day in my shoulder in, like, a month and a half. 00:07:32.289 --> 00:07:38.230 I mean, okay. No painkillers are helping. Yeah, 00:07:38.290 --> 00:07:41.069 because it's the nerves. Yeah. Painkillers won't 00:07:41.069 --> 00:07:44.949 help you with nerves. Oh, well. I made the mistake 00:07:44.949 --> 00:07:49.490 of going to sleep last Thursday, and I pinched 00:07:49.490 --> 00:07:52.829 a nerve. I put my neck out of joint, and I haven't 00:07:52.829 --> 00:07:56.269 been in pain for the last week. And I can't sleep. 00:07:56.550 --> 00:07:59.389 I can't sleep, and I can't drive. And people 00:07:59.389 --> 00:08:01.430 are like, well, can you play your video games? 00:08:01.509 --> 00:08:04.790 I'm like, yes, because I slouch. Apparently, 00:08:04.790 --> 00:08:09.589 I can't hold myself very properly, and I can't 00:08:09.589 --> 00:08:12.949 relax. But I can do that slouchy middle thing 00:08:12.949 --> 00:08:16.750 with relative discomfort. Yep, yep, yep. Yeah, 00:08:16.790 --> 00:08:18.529 I get it. And people are like, what did you do? 00:08:18.569 --> 00:08:23.009 I said, I went to sleep. Yeah, it's crazy. It's 00:08:23.009 --> 00:08:25.829 crazy, folks. This is what we old people go through. 00:08:27.889 --> 00:08:30.009 I remember when we were younger and comedians 00:08:30.009 --> 00:08:31.110 would always be like, man, you get to a certain 00:08:31.110 --> 00:08:32.909 age and you can just hurt yourself sleeping wrong. 00:08:33.389 --> 00:08:38.049 Well, apparently they were right. No, yeah. We 00:08:38.049 --> 00:08:45.450 did not listen. No. But unfortunately. Today 00:08:45.450 --> 00:08:48.389 we continue on in our journey as we put our trench 00:08:48.389 --> 00:08:51.830 coats on and jump back in time with Columbo. 00:08:51.870 --> 00:08:53.750 These are the Columbo files here inside Studio 00:08:53.750 --> 00:08:55.870 2009. We're starting at the beginning and obviously 00:08:55.870 --> 00:09:00.090 going all the way in order. Also, which apparently 00:09:00.090 --> 00:09:03.169 is the main source of contention now, because 00:09:03.169 --> 00:09:07.750 Dave found out how I watch Tubi versus how everyone 00:09:07.750 --> 00:09:11.730 else apparently watches Tubi. But Tubi is the 00:09:11.730 --> 00:09:16.500 main source to watch Columbo. At least for me 00:09:16.500 --> 00:09:23.419 anyway. Yes, yes. It was annoying. And the weird 00:09:23.419 --> 00:09:26.340 thing is they wouldn't quite... Because you don't 00:09:26.340 --> 00:09:28.700 know. You walked on your computer and you have 00:09:28.700 --> 00:09:32.659 blockers. I don't know if we're allowed to say 00:09:32.659 --> 00:09:35.360 that legally. That's fine. You can cut it if 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:37.440 I've gotten you in trouble. I'm watching it on 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:42.539 my PS4. Because your DVD did not have the right 00:09:42.539 --> 00:09:45.639 episode. My disc two of the DVD was disc one. 00:09:46.340 --> 00:09:49.480 And I wonder if that was a situation where I'm 00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:50.960 not sure. I don't remember where I got those 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:53.139 from. I could have gotten them from Disc Replay, 00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:56.259 which is a place that went out of business. You'd 00:09:56.259 --> 00:09:58.080 bring in your old DVDs and sell them and then 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.299 they'd sell them to other people. It could have 00:10:01.299 --> 00:10:03.080 been that I got them from there or one of those 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:06.899 kind of places and just like they loaded it wrong 00:10:06.899 --> 00:10:10.960 or screwed it up. Oh, yeah. So my disc two is 00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:13.940 disc one. So it's got Lovely But Lethal and Any 00:10:13.940 --> 00:10:15.799 Port In A Storm, the ones we already covered. 00:10:16.299 --> 00:10:20.820 Oh, crap. I went to Tubi. And what's really irritating 00:10:20.820 --> 00:10:23.960 is, like, those commercials do not fall on the 00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:27.279 – because, I mean, the show was originally designed 00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:30.639 for TV, network TV. Right. Commercials. Yep. 00:10:30.700 --> 00:10:33.379 So there are natural beats where you would cut 00:10:33.379 --> 00:10:40.740 to commercial. Yep. No. Not on Tubi. Not on any 00:10:40.740 --> 00:10:43.799 service. I don't want to just single Tubi out. 00:10:43.860 --> 00:10:47.519 It's not them. It's every single service that 00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:52.879 has ad tiers or that has ad placement. They do 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.840 not. Whoever is running Tubi, whoever is running 00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:00.200 Peacock, whoever is running Pluto TV, they did 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:04.059 not sync it up properly. Any show. It doesn't 00:11:04.059 --> 00:11:05.580 matter what show it is. It could be Columbo. 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:08.909 It could be. Real Housewives of whichever. It 00:11:08.909 --> 00:11:11.070 could be whatever show. It could be Knight Rider. 00:11:11.230 --> 00:11:14.049 It could be 18th Beowulf, Magnum. It could be 00:11:14.049 --> 00:11:15.649 something from the 90s. It could be something 00:11:15.649 --> 00:11:18.450 from the 50s. It doesn't matter. They do not 00:11:18.450 --> 00:11:21.970 sync those up properly, which sucks. Which is 00:11:21.970 --> 00:11:26.610 why I like ad blockers. Okay, this all happened 00:11:26.610 --> 00:11:30.330 last night. So no one had time to put anything 00:11:30.330 --> 00:11:35.929 really into... It's just four episodes. Hopefully... 00:11:36.899 --> 00:11:39.860 And it turns out Season 3 is pretty cheap on 00:11:39.860 --> 00:11:44.740 Amazon. And I checked the reviews. I was like, 00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:47.120 is anyone in the reviews saying, hey, whoever 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:50.639 produced these DVDs screwed up? Nobody said that. 00:11:51.220 --> 00:11:53.159 That's why I'm like, did I get them from Disc 00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:56.759 Replay? Could it just have been someone else 00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:01.679 got a set that's got two Disc 2s? It's $12. I'll 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:06.409 get another proper comic. proper set yep absolutely 00:12:06.409 --> 00:12:11.990 folks and so this is this one was like the publisher 00:12:11.990 --> 00:12:15.470 was interesting publisher parish was interesting 00:12:15.470 --> 00:12:19.250 but i was about to do my normal introduction 00:12:19.250 --> 00:12:22.389 of so today is season blah blah blah blah and 00:12:22.389 --> 00:12:25.690 my first thought was so today is season one episode 00:12:25.690 --> 00:12:28.649 one murder by the book because essentially publisher 00:12:28.649 --> 00:12:33.470 parish is murder by the book it is jack cassidy 00:12:34.789 --> 00:12:37.230 But this time he's the publisher, not the author. 00:12:37.509 --> 00:12:40.250 Yes, he is the publisher this time, not the author. 00:12:41.850 --> 00:12:45.730 I had the same kind of... I mean, keep in mind, 00:12:45.750 --> 00:12:48.590 I watched these back in the 90s. Back in the 00:12:48.590 --> 00:12:50.049 90s, I was like, hey, how come he keeps doing 00:12:50.049 --> 00:12:52.870 book -related guys? Although his third one is 00:12:52.870 --> 00:12:55.110 not book -related. His third appearance is not 00:12:55.110 --> 00:12:56.909 book -related. I'm glad for that, because at 00:12:56.909 --> 00:12:59.330 the end of this, I was like... So it's the further 00:12:59.330 --> 00:13:03.649 adventures of the twin brother. As I say, twin 00:13:03.649 --> 00:13:08.750 brother. Yeah, essentially. Because, and you're 00:13:08.750 --> 00:13:10.250 right. It's not the first time Columbo's done 00:13:10.250 --> 00:13:14.309 that. That's true. Actually, this one was, to 00:13:14.309 --> 00:13:17.269 jump ahead a little, I was surprised because 00:13:17.269 --> 00:13:20.429 we had mentioned in an earlier episode that they 00:13:20.429 --> 00:13:22.169 mentioned an earlier episode. Remember that we, 00:13:22.289 --> 00:13:23.990 because it's the one that you don't like, Candidate 00:13:23.990 --> 00:13:26.509 for Crime. And then in the next one they mentioned 00:13:27.129 --> 00:13:29.129 that he'd been up late dealing with that case. 00:13:29.269 --> 00:13:32.610 Remember that? Yep. And in this one, he literally 00:13:32.610 --> 00:13:36.029 lays out, I was on the case where a senator faked 00:13:36.029 --> 00:13:38.570 his own death and did this thing. I'm like, dang, 00:13:39.129 --> 00:13:41.870 they cannot move off this dime. That was weird. 00:13:42.970 --> 00:13:47.789 These two episodes, so again, folks, we say this 00:13:47.789 --> 00:13:51.309 every episode that we do these, because we, I 00:13:51.309 --> 00:13:53.399 don't know who's listening to these, but... This 00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:56.000 is episode 175 of the podcast. We're recording 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:57.919 this in March. You're probably going to hear 00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:01.080 it sometime in July, August of this year in 2025. 00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:06.440 So we usually record them back to back. So we 00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:09.519 obviously watch them back to back. One, we get 00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:14.440 the my wife counter of Betty Davis at 2 a .m. 00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:17.659 Columbo hasn't slept in two days kind of thing 00:14:17.659 --> 00:14:20.419 because my wife, she was up watching this thing. 00:14:21.470 --> 00:14:23.529 I haven't had sleep in a day and a half or two 00:14:23.529 --> 00:14:27.450 days. And honestly, that's kind of normal for 00:14:27.450 --> 00:14:29.909 not normal, but it's kind of like every time 00:14:29.909 --> 00:14:32.090 I see police detectives and like true crime shows, 00:14:32.250 --> 00:14:34.830 there are a lot of police detectives and a lot 00:14:34.830 --> 00:14:38.629 of police personnel that, that work on murders 00:14:38.629 --> 00:14:40.889 and other things that don't get a lot of sleep. 00:14:40.929 --> 00:14:44.970 No. Yeah. So, but, and then the next one, the 00:14:44.970 --> 00:14:50.200 next episode is proof. Of what I said earlier. 00:14:50.379 --> 00:14:52.620 I haven't gone back as of this recording. I haven't 00:14:52.620 --> 00:14:55.340 edited the episode where he specifically mentioned 00:14:55.340 --> 00:14:59.279 his child in the other episode. But I wrote it 00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:02.000 down because I specifically heard it this time. 00:15:02.620 --> 00:15:06.820 He says family. I don't think he says child. 00:15:06.899 --> 00:15:09.580 He says family. He says my wife and kids is what 00:15:09.580 --> 00:15:12.879 he says. Does he? Okay. I remember he said family. 00:15:13.139 --> 00:15:16.419 The family is attached to the dog. Yep, yep, 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:17.659 yep. Well, yeah, because it starts out, it's 00:15:17.659 --> 00:15:19.620 like, okay, we'll talk about that episode when 00:15:19.620 --> 00:15:22.559 we get to that episode. Yeah, yeah. They do another 00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:25.299 fake out with the dog. Yep, yep. Well, that's 00:15:25.299 --> 00:15:28.139 all the dog's good for, apparently. I mean, the 00:15:28.139 --> 00:15:30.980 dog is good. He solved that one crime. Yeah, 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:32.059 he solved that one crime. Almost falling into 00:15:32.059 --> 00:15:36.460 a meat grinder. Yeah, exactly. Like, almost. 00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:39.519 Okay, somebody's clearly never owned a basset 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:43.059 hound before. Although I will say as a former 00:15:43.059 --> 00:15:46.559 owner of a basset hound, every dog I've had, 00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:49.580 or not every dog, but several dogs I've had as 00:15:49.580 --> 00:15:51.820 an adult, everything you learn about them as 00:15:51.820 --> 00:15:55.899 a child are lies. Like basset hounds are lazy 00:15:55.899 --> 00:15:57.460 and they don't do anything and they just lay 00:15:57.460 --> 00:15:59.139 there and drool and they're not very active. 00:15:59.179 --> 00:16:03.039 This dog ran my freaking arm off. This dog was 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:06.899 active as hell. Your sitters are stupid. No. 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:09.379 Yeah, what do you expect? That dog had a lightsaber. 00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:13.379 That was the one thing she didn't have. Well, 00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:15.059 she went to town on that Ewok, though. That was 00:16:15.059 --> 00:16:17.500 a gift from her uncle. And you had do's and don'ts 00:16:17.500 --> 00:16:26.200 around here at Studio 2009, folks. Wow. I was 00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:28.539 not expecting that to come out of this episode. 00:16:29.580 --> 00:16:32.460 Particularly since the dog is even in this episode. 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:36.659 Yeah, I know, right? The dog's in the next episode. 00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:43.539 Yeah, this one just... So as the episode progressed, 00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:46.919 I was fine. By the time we got to the end of 00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:50.799 it, I was like, Greenleaf is just, like you said, 00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:56.620 he's the publisher version of Franklin. No, because 00:16:56.620 --> 00:17:02.620 he's... He's not Franklin. He is... It's weird. 00:17:02.980 --> 00:17:04.460 Like I said, this is an interesting episode. 00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:06.640 I think Columbo... Kind of gives off a different 00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:08.380 vibe in this episode than he does usually. He 00:17:08.380 --> 00:17:11.140 felt very un -Columbo -y, except in the scene 00:17:11.140 --> 00:17:12.599 at the restaurant when he was eating the chili. 00:17:12.859 --> 00:17:20.940 Not safe, Lieutenant. I borrow a pencil. Got 00:17:20.940 --> 00:17:33.599 it. Thank you. Thank you. Six dollars, excuse 00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.569 me. No, I think there's a mistake. I had the 00:17:37.569 --> 00:17:50.009 chili and the iced tea. Oh. 675. I forgot to 00:17:50.009 --> 00:17:52.950 add the iced tea. It was the most Columbo moment 00:17:52.950 --> 00:17:56.450 of the show. He's much more serious. He's much 00:17:56.450 --> 00:18:01.029 more focused. And Greenleaf basically begged. 00:18:01.329 --> 00:18:05.680 He was playing a game. He was stupid. This whole 00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:07.940 thing was, I'm going to set myself up and then 00:18:07.940 --> 00:18:09.740 I'll have this perfect alibi. And it was like, 00:18:10.500 --> 00:18:12.539 like, that's how he, that's how they got him. 00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:15.700 Cause he kept trying to work on this whole elaborate 00:18:15.700 --> 00:18:17.859 scheme that sort of pointed the fingers at him, 00:18:17.900 --> 00:18:20.900 but he had this alibi and it was just like, it's 00:18:20.900 --> 00:18:23.700 like every step he took made it worse. If he 00:18:23.700 --> 00:18:26.259 just left it alone, you know, cause the guy's 00:18:26.259 --> 00:18:27.819 like, cause the whole thing is Mickey Splane 00:18:27.819 --> 00:18:30.519 is a successful novelist in both real life on 00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:35.150 the, you know, stunt casting. Uh, It was also 00:18:35.150 --> 00:18:36.230 interesting because I think this is the first 00:18:36.230 --> 00:18:39.890 mention of the Vietnam War. Yes. Which was a 00:18:39.890 --> 00:18:42.569 huge... This is back in 74. So that's like... 00:18:42.569 --> 00:18:44.809 I think that's around when the time of the war 00:18:44.809 --> 00:18:48.410 actually ended. So that was a huge thing. And 00:18:48.410 --> 00:18:50.849 he's writing this... The whole thing is Greenleaf 00:18:50.849 --> 00:18:54.529 is his publisher and he wants to like... His 00:18:54.529 --> 00:18:56.710 contract is up and he's been working on a book 00:18:56.710 --> 00:18:59.690 and if Greenleaf knows the book exists then Greenleaf 00:18:59.690 --> 00:19:01.490 has the rights to it. He's been keeping it under 00:19:01.490 --> 00:19:03.470 wraps but Greenleaf found out that the book... 00:19:03.710 --> 00:19:06.349 that the book is being written. And he stages 00:19:06.349 --> 00:19:08.569 his whole elaborate thing with this other guy 00:19:08.569 --> 00:19:11.670 who's like a nut job, who loves explosives. He 00:19:11.670 --> 00:19:15.529 hires that guy to kill Mickey Spillane. And he 00:19:15.529 --> 00:19:16.809 says he's going to, because that guy's written 00:19:16.809 --> 00:19:18.269 a book, too, about how to blow stuff up, like 00:19:18.269 --> 00:19:21.569 the Anarchist Bible, Anarchist Cookbook. So the 00:19:21.569 --> 00:19:24.890 other guy, like, you know, first of all, doesn't 00:19:24.890 --> 00:19:27.670 know how to hold a gun. Nope. Like, that was 00:19:27.670 --> 00:19:31.920 weird. That was very weird. The whole thing is 00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:33.819 he's given a key to Mickey Spillane's office, 00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:37.279 but the door's open and the window's open because 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:41.940 it's hot. And he walks in and he kills him. And 00:19:41.940 --> 00:19:44.440 Mickey Spillane is recording, dictaphone -ing 00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:46.640 part of the novel. Do you hear the murder on 00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:51.720 tape? And then he leaves the key behind. The 00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:53.420 whole thing is Mickey Spillane had the locks 00:19:53.420 --> 00:19:56.440 changed. The key actually doesn't work, and that 00:19:56.440 --> 00:20:00.750 becomes a pebble in Columbo's shoe. And this 00:20:00.750 --> 00:20:03.930 was the rare – because I always kind of mention 00:20:03.930 --> 00:20:05.869 when there are double murders. And this was the 00:20:05.869 --> 00:20:08.089 rare intentional double murder because usually 00:20:08.089 --> 00:20:10.569 the second murder is kind of like, oh, this guy 00:20:10.569 --> 00:20:12.170 suddenly become inconvenient. I got to take him 00:20:12.170 --> 00:20:14.809 out. So he sets up the guy to, like, blow him 00:20:14.809 --> 00:20:17.750 up because he's a bomb nut. But he also does 00:20:17.750 --> 00:20:19.970 a thing where he, like, gets a corrected key. 00:20:20.789 --> 00:20:26.289 Yep. Which is weird because he's told – the bomb 00:20:26.289 --> 00:20:29.869 guy tells him that the door was unlocked. It 00:20:29.869 --> 00:20:35.210 was open. Like leave it alone. Exactly. Yeah. 00:20:35.390 --> 00:20:38.710 It's just, it's, it's just crazy how this one 00:20:38.710 --> 00:20:43.750 went. And again, it's not exactly, I know I've 00:20:43.750 --> 00:20:46.470 said, and I will, my final note is it felt a 00:20:46.470 --> 00:20:48.390 little bit repeat -ish. That's, it was just my 00:20:48.390 --> 00:20:50.710 final note. Oh, it's only because of it's Jack 00:20:50.710 --> 00:20:53.920 Cassidy. It's publishing, it's writing, it's 00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:55.380 this, it's that, even though the roles reverse, 00:20:55.500 --> 00:20:57.480 whatever else. But really, it's very different 00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:00.180 from Murder by the Book, obviously. And it's 00:21:00.180 --> 00:21:04.079 one of those things where, besides the chili 00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:08.599 scene, the only other scene I felt that Columbo 00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:12.789 was really himself. is when he was shushing the 00:21:12.789 --> 00:21:16.450 other sergeant or lieutenant or whatever other 00:21:16.450 --> 00:21:19.609 plainclothes cop when he was trying to hear the 00:21:19.609 --> 00:21:21.970 tape recorder because he was trying to hear the 00:21:21.970 --> 00:21:26.769 the flaps or the whatever on the window because 00:21:26.769 --> 00:21:29.049 they were trying to figure out why the why the 00:21:29.049 --> 00:21:31.450 window was open why the door was open it's southern 00:21:31.450 --> 00:21:34.470 california you want the cross breeze blah blah 00:21:34.470 --> 00:21:41.289 blah you know yeah the rest of this was It was 00:21:41.289 --> 00:21:45.390 good. I liked it. I didn't dislike it. I liked 00:21:45.390 --> 00:21:48.910 the bit at the beginning. You've got Jack Cassidy, 00:21:49.029 --> 00:21:50.809 you've got Bomb Guy, and you've got Mickey Splane. 00:21:51.289 --> 00:21:55.349 And they would have separate windows showing 00:21:55.349 --> 00:21:58.150 each one at the exact moment that they were doing 00:21:58.150 --> 00:21:59.910 stuff. That was kind of interesting. That was 00:21:59.910 --> 00:22:02.049 something we hadn't seen before. Yeah, that was 00:22:02.049 --> 00:22:05.789 very cool. Did you think it was weird? Cassidy's 00:22:05.789 --> 00:22:09.829 car... The cars looked weird to me. Cassidy's 00:22:09.829 --> 00:22:11.670 car did not look like the car of a rich guy. 00:22:12.289 --> 00:22:14.970 And then he backs into like this beat up old 00:22:14.970 --> 00:22:20.069 VW van. Yeah. And they're like this couple out 00:22:20.069 --> 00:22:22.710 of a Marx Brothers movie that would get hit by 00:22:22.710 --> 00:22:25.509 pies. She's wearing furs and he's got a suit 00:22:25.509 --> 00:22:28.529 on. And it's like, why are you guys driving around 00:22:28.529 --> 00:22:31.970 in a hippie van? Yeah. Like that whole scene, 00:22:32.210 --> 00:22:35.130 he was making fun of both of them. He was talking 00:22:35.130 --> 00:22:38.980 that like he acted like he. Yeah, well, obviously 00:22:38.980 --> 00:22:40.099 he's drunk. He might have actually been drunk. 00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:42.940 Yeah, I think he was. I think that was the thing. 00:22:42.980 --> 00:22:45.000 That's why he ran into them. It wasn't that, 00:22:45.059 --> 00:22:46.779 like, he didn't intentionally do it. Oh, no, 00:22:46.819 --> 00:22:48.740 he ran into them to establish the alibi. Oh, 00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:50.859 I didn't realize. Yeah, he kept checking his 00:22:50.859 --> 00:22:53.059 watch. Oh, that's. The whole thing is he had 00:22:53.059 --> 00:22:55.240 the alibi. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. And that was 00:22:55.240 --> 00:22:57.579 one of the things that he screwed up, because 00:22:57.579 --> 00:23:00.339 his alibi was exactly at the same time. At the 00:23:00.339 --> 00:23:02.819 same time as the, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, 00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:05.880 yeah. Yeah, which was a wee bit convenient. Yeah, 00:23:05.880 --> 00:24:27.970 very convenient. Yep, yep. Yeah, this one was 00:24:27.970 --> 00:24:34.369 just... It did feel weird. It felt weird. And 00:24:34.369 --> 00:24:39.109 again, if it had been anyone else other than 00:24:39.109 --> 00:24:43.470 Cassidy, it might have felt better. You could 00:24:43.470 --> 00:24:46.230 still have the same other actors and actresses. 00:24:46.509 --> 00:24:50.509 Just somebody else in the Riley Greenleaf role. 00:24:51.650 --> 00:24:54.130 I mean, he played it perfectly. I'm not trying 00:24:54.130 --> 00:24:58.069 to say anything about his acting. Yeah, no, absolutely. 00:24:58.250 --> 00:25:01.690 I get what you're saying. And I think, you know... 00:25:02.789 --> 00:25:06.809 I think maybe it doesn't, because I'm, you know, 00:25:06.809 --> 00:25:11.430 I've been acclimated to this for since the 90s. 00:25:11.730 --> 00:25:13.750 So for me, it's like, when I first saw it, I 00:25:13.750 --> 00:25:15.470 was like, that was a little weird. But, you know, 00:25:15.470 --> 00:25:17.109 I've had all these years of kind of like, okay, 00:25:17.190 --> 00:25:19.509 these are different characters, you know. You 00:25:19.509 --> 00:25:23.049 know, because, yeah, I can't remember the actor's 00:25:23.049 --> 00:25:25.269 name now. He's been in three of them so far. 00:25:25.890 --> 00:25:32.390 Oh, Carl, Robert. Culp. I mean, Culp played... 00:25:32.390 --> 00:25:34.710 He had kind of the same vibe as several of the 00:25:34.710 --> 00:25:36.710 characters, but they were different jobs. Yeah, 00:25:36.769 --> 00:25:39.329 they were different jobs. I get what you're saying. 00:25:39.710 --> 00:25:43.210 Well, again, Cassidy plays a very different character 00:25:43.210 --> 00:25:45.230 the third time around. I can tell you that. Nothing 00:25:45.230 --> 00:25:48.549 to do with publishing. That's good. He's a Nazi. 00:25:50.309 --> 00:25:58.069 And a stage magician. Okay, you say that. I'm 00:25:58.069 --> 00:26:00.670 not even making that up. He's a former Nazi. 00:26:01.650 --> 00:26:05.269 I'm not saying I believe you. I'm not saying 00:26:05.269 --> 00:26:08.150 I don't believe you. I'm saying the way you said 00:26:08.150 --> 00:26:13.670 that, I'm like, huh. Evel Sinclair. Rocketeer. 00:26:14.289 --> 00:26:16.150 That's the first thing I thought of was Timothy 00:26:16.150 --> 00:26:24.880 Dalton in the Rocketeer. You said Nazi. Oh, boy. 00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:32.299 Oh, God. The Rocketeer will be 35 years old next 00:26:32.299 --> 00:26:37.579 year? Yeah, 91. Oh, man. I was at that movie. 00:26:37.740 --> 00:26:39.940 I was 11 years old. I saw that movie in theaters. 00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:42.420 Love that movie. I love it, too. I think it's 00:26:42.420 --> 00:26:44.019 a great movie. I think it's a very underrated 00:26:44.019 --> 00:26:45.940 movie. It's weird. Everyone who's seen it loved 00:26:45.940 --> 00:26:51.140 it. It just doesn't... I don't know. It is a 00:26:51.140 --> 00:26:53.319 great movie, though. It's a really good movie. 00:26:53.779 --> 00:26:58.859 Johnson. Jaws is 50 this year. They're bringing 00:26:58.859 --> 00:27:02.500 it back. I'm so excited. Yes, yes it is. I was 00:27:02.500 --> 00:27:04.839 crippled last time they brought it back. Oh, 00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:08.039 no! So I'm like, I'm going to see it this time, 00:27:08.099 --> 00:27:11.680 hopefully. The big screen. It's also kind of 00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:14.319 depressing that it's slightly younger than I 00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:21.279 am. Why? Well, I mean, it came out in 75. You 00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:26.200 came out in 71, so, you know. Yes, I understand 00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:35.359 the concepts of math. Okay. Anyway, Columbo. 00:27:35.559 --> 00:27:39.079 No, Columbo, but if I don't say this on air, 00:27:39.180 --> 00:27:41.519 I will never, ever say this, and I will never 00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:45.710 agree to it, so I want it recorded. Because it's 00:27:45.710 --> 00:27:53.710 its 50th anniversary. I will watch it. Only because 00:27:53.710 --> 00:27:56.170 I want your theatrical reaction when you go to 00:27:56.170 --> 00:27:59.369 see it. We will do a 50th anniversary episode 00:27:59.369 --> 00:28:01.750 for Jaws. I would love to do that. We will stop 00:28:01.750 --> 00:28:06.329 at Jaws. We will not do the sequels. There are 00:28:06.329 --> 00:28:11.109 no sequels. Jaws is a perfect film. It needs 00:28:11.109 --> 00:28:16.039 no sequels. It has no sequels. Its legacy is 00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:23.859 unspoiled by bad, bad sequels. Look, Jurassic 00:28:23.859 --> 00:28:26.579 Park is one thing. I kind of like the second 00:28:26.579 --> 00:28:29.380 movie. Jaws, no. You're never going to get me 00:28:29.380 --> 00:28:33.619 to go, no, we've got to do Jaws 2. Another shark 00:28:33.619 --> 00:28:37.779 comes back. It's the same movie. Only infinitely 00:28:37.779 --> 00:28:42.839 worse. Jaws is a masterpiece. And I am excited. 00:28:43.460 --> 00:28:49.700 My one asterisk is I live in Springfield, Illinois. 00:28:53.420 --> 00:28:56.440 There's a not 0 % chance we won't get it. You 00:28:56.440 --> 00:28:59.900 know what I'm saying? Who's bringing it back? 00:29:00.259 --> 00:29:03.660 I don't know. I'll find out. They are. They are 00:29:03.660 --> 00:29:08.579 them. Oh, boy. I assume Universal because they 00:29:08.579 --> 00:29:13.339 own it. Yes, but I'm saying is it a chain thing? 00:29:13.519 --> 00:29:18.019 Yeah, I don't know. Is it a chain thing? If it's 00:29:18.019 --> 00:29:20.339 a Fathom Events thing, it's probably somewhere 00:29:20.339 --> 00:29:25.500 close. We could get Fathom at our theaters. I 00:29:25.500 --> 00:29:28.119 don't know. I haven't looked into it. They'll 00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:30.720 figure it out. It's okay. It's in August, dude. 00:29:31.460 --> 00:29:35.960 I can't live that long. And, you know, I keep 00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:39.160 falling asleep and crippling myself. Oh, my God. 00:29:39.619 --> 00:29:43.680 Stop it. It's not a guarantee. Dude, it has been 00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:46.579 a rough week. I understand it's been a rough 00:29:46.579 --> 00:29:51.700 week and a rough year so far. Oh, boy. All right. 00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:54.180 We've completely gone off. Yes, we've completely 00:29:54.180 --> 00:29:56.680 gone off the rails here. See, folks, publish 00:29:56.680 --> 00:29:58.759 or perish. We're either going to publish this 00:29:58.759 --> 00:30:06.829 episode or we're going to perish. Other than 00:30:06.829 --> 00:30:09.750 the things I've already mentioned about the deja 00:30:09.750 --> 00:30:12.970 vu -ish, a little bit of it, I still enjoyed 00:30:12.970 --> 00:30:15.890 this episode. I enjoyed watching it. I enjoyed 00:30:15.890 --> 00:30:21.210 seeing Jack Cassidy act a little bit more deranged. 00:30:21.309 --> 00:30:24.690 Like, he was deranged as Ken Franklin in Season 00:30:24.690 --> 00:30:27.390 1, Episode 1, Murder by the Book. But I think 00:30:27.390 --> 00:30:33.299 Riley Greenleaf is slightly... A little bit more 00:30:33.299 --> 00:30:43.400 deranged than Jack was. Than Ken was. I'm not 00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:45.119 sure I'd use the word deranged per se, but I 00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:49.200 get what you're going for. Like I said, his whole 00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:53.559 dumb thing is just really arrogant and stupid. 00:30:54.200 --> 00:30:57.500 The way Columbo gets him is he's got to make 00:30:57.500 --> 00:30:59.940 that second key. He's got to explain why the 00:30:59.940 --> 00:31:02.329 key was wrong. And of course, Columbo had changed 00:31:02.329 --> 00:31:05.710 the locks again. When he gets the new key made, 00:31:05.789 --> 00:31:09.069 it's for the new new lock. And then there's the 00:31:09.069 --> 00:31:12.470 other thing. There's a great line. The original 00:31:12.470 --> 00:31:15.789 end of the book is that the hero dies. The book 00:31:15.789 --> 00:31:18.549 that Mickey Splane's writing. They were going 00:31:18.549 --> 00:31:21.450 to turn it into a movie, and they talked... Rock 00:31:21.450 --> 00:31:25.069 Hudson was going to play the hero. So they talked 00:31:25.069 --> 00:31:27.089 him into changing the ending because Rock Hudson 00:31:27.089 --> 00:31:31.599 doesn't die. You don't kill Rock Hudson. Part 00:31:31.599 --> 00:31:35.799 of his scheme to set up the bomb guy is he's 00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:38.160 concocted the story that the bomb guy made up 00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:42.019 the story and that Mickey Splane stole it. To 00:31:42.019 --> 00:31:44.859 prove it, he's got an outline for the story at 00:31:44.859 --> 00:31:46.680 the bomb guy's house. When he kills the bomb 00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:49.240 guy, they find the outline for the story. But 00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:51.940 it's got the new ending that Marriott Hartley 00:31:51.940 --> 00:31:55.319 came up with on the fly. So Columbo says to him 00:31:55.319 --> 00:31:59.579 at the end, you don't kill Rock Hudson. So he 00:31:59.579 --> 00:32:01.359 gets them because he's got the key for the new 00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:03.920 lock, the new new lock, and he's got this thing 00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:05.900 that's got an ending that was only thought out 00:32:05.900 --> 00:32:08.859 by somebody else a week ago. Yeah. It's just 00:32:08.859 --> 00:32:13.519 like he just – he's got this weird need to almost 00:32:13.519 --> 00:32:18.160 like – It's almost like a serial killer thing 00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:19.859 where he's got to leave little clues, he's got 00:32:19.859 --> 00:32:21.960 to play a little game, he's got to make everything 00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:24.299 point to him, and then he's got this alibi, so 00:32:24.299 --> 00:32:26.980 he gets away with it, but it's all got to dot 00:32:26.980 --> 00:32:29.480 all the I's and cross all the T's. Life's not 00:32:29.480 --> 00:32:34.140 like that, man. 90 % of Columbo killers could 00:32:34.140 --> 00:32:36.880 do much better if when Columbo goes, well, how 00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:38.140 can you explain this? I'd be like, I don't know. 00:32:38.900 --> 00:32:41.940 I got no idea. I'm not a cop. I don't know. I 00:32:41.940 --> 00:32:43.759 don't know how that works. I don't know why there's 00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:46.319 a key. Who knows? I don't know. Which again, 00:32:48.059 --> 00:32:49.740 and I know people are probably going to be listening 00:32:49.740 --> 00:32:52.539 to this saying, Mike, stop comparing, but I can't 00:32:52.539 --> 00:32:54.579 help it. Which is probably what Ken would say 00:32:54.579 --> 00:32:58.039 was, well, that's your job, Lieutenant. That's 00:32:58.039 --> 00:33:01.420 your job to figure it out. Like this character 00:33:01.420 --> 00:33:05.920 in Riley Greenleaf, he's a character who is an 00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:12.359 attention whore. He wants the attention. He wants 00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:22.380 to get rid of this author. Yeah. A lot of times 00:33:22.380 --> 00:33:24.519 we talk about motives, and the motive is very 00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:29.980 clear, but it's also stupid. Okay, so the whole 00:33:29.980 --> 00:33:33.619 thing here is, as we kind of skipped over this 00:33:33.619 --> 00:33:37.640 part, the whole point of Greenleaf wanting to 00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:41.529 kill Mallory. I mentioned that. His contract 00:33:41.529 --> 00:33:43.109 is up, and he's going to go to a different publisher 00:33:43.109 --> 00:33:46.450 with his new book. Right, but the other part 00:33:46.450 --> 00:33:49.750 of that is the insurance, the life insurance, 00:33:49.970 --> 00:33:52.289 because he has like $100 ,000 life insurance 00:33:52.289 --> 00:33:54.630 on the guy. I forgot about that. Yeah, so it's 00:33:54.630 --> 00:33:57.910 the life insurance on the author's life as well 00:33:57.910 --> 00:34:01.430 as because, as you said, he's going to go to 00:34:01.430 --> 00:34:06.049 somebody else. Oh, life insurance cases. Oh, 00:34:06.089 --> 00:34:10.730 boy. Reminds me of every single true crime episode 00:34:10.730 --> 00:34:14.929 I've ever watched in the last two decades. Three, 00:34:15.010 --> 00:34:19.190 maybe. I forget. That's his motive. He wants 00:34:19.190 --> 00:34:21.409 the insurance money and he wants to stop him 00:34:21.409 --> 00:34:25.090 from... I understand if you want the insurance 00:34:25.090 --> 00:34:30.670 money, but... It's a petty thing. He has a whole 00:34:30.670 --> 00:34:32.889 speech about how when I found him, he was... 00:34:32.889 --> 00:34:33.869 I can't remember what he was doing, but he was 00:34:33.869 --> 00:34:36.829 doing something... menial job, and I made him 00:34:36.829 --> 00:34:39.429 this great author that's celebrated throughout 00:34:39.429 --> 00:34:42.409 the country, and I'll be damned if I let anyone 00:34:42.409 --> 00:34:45.829 else profit off of my hard work. That's why I 00:34:45.829 --> 00:34:47.809 forgot about the life insurance thing. That almost 00:34:47.809 --> 00:34:49.849 felt like that was tacked on. It really comes 00:34:49.849 --> 00:34:53.230 across as, I will not let you live writing for 00:34:53.230 --> 00:34:56.090 another publisher. You are mine. It's that kind 00:34:56.090 --> 00:34:57.530 of thing. Like you said, the attention whore. 00:34:57.949 --> 00:35:02.289 You're mine, you belong to me, and I will kill 00:35:02.289 --> 00:35:07.690 you. It's like a... If I can't have you, nobody 00:35:07.690 --> 00:35:11.869 can. Yeah, if I can't have you, nobody can. Which, 00:35:11.989 --> 00:35:18.969 yeah, crazy. There were... Is it this one or 00:35:18.969 --> 00:35:21.949 is it the next one? I think it's the next one. 00:35:22.889 --> 00:35:24.949 Sometimes, folks, when we watch these back -to 00:35:24.949 --> 00:35:27.909 -back, I get them so confused and mixed up. No, 00:35:27.989 --> 00:35:31.460 no, no. I'm saying that's fair. I do, too. calm 00:35:31.460 --> 00:35:34.400 down with, with some of Columbo's lines, because 00:35:34.400 --> 00:35:37.320 he has some of these episodes. He has some really 00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:41.840 great lines where I think it's, you can correct 00:35:41.840 --> 00:35:44.000 me. I think it's the next one though. He's like, 00:35:44.079 --> 00:35:47.059 I knew it was you the first 10 seconds. I met 00:35:47.059 --> 00:35:51.800 you. Like he says that. Yeah. Yeah. There's context 00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:57.539 to that. Yeah. Yeah. Oh man. Just Peter Falk, 00:35:57.559 --> 00:36:01.130 man. There, there is not enough. descriptive 00:36:01.130 --> 00:36:04.090 good words in the English language to describe 00:36:04.090 --> 00:36:09.690 how well he does and how well he acts as that 00:36:09.690 --> 00:36:12.550 character. Essentially, and we've said this every 00:36:12.550 --> 00:36:16.389 episode for three seasons now, the character 00:36:16.389 --> 00:36:19.690 is essentially him. Yeah, I was just about to 00:36:19.690 --> 00:36:21.690 say, I wonder, because I don't know that much 00:36:21.690 --> 00:36:23.909 about him. No, but I don't know that much about 00:36:23.909 --> 00:36:26.889 him personally. Yeah, exactly. I wonder if it 00:36:26.889 --> 00:36:29.349 is one of those things, like a Tommy Lee Jones. 00:36:29.800 --> 00:36:32.679 You play with your strength. I'm a crotchety 00:36:32.679 --> 00:36:34.800 old guy. I play crotchety old guys. I'm kind 00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:40.219 of this goofy, smart but goofy character. So 00:36:40.219 --> 00:36:45.280 you do wonder. And the problem is because he 00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:50.699 played Columbo, every character after Columbo, 00:36:50.699 --> 00:36:54.900 you're going to cast Peter Falk. You know what 00:36:54.900 --> 00:36:56.980 I mean? It's one of those things. You always 00:36:56.980 --> 00:36:59.599 cast Peter Falk to be a Columbo type, a bit of 00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:07.639 a goofy Columbo type. Yeah, absolutely. He's 00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:13.159 just so good. Maybe when this is over, he's in 00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:15.119 a movie, I believe he's in a movie called The 00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:19.840 In -Laws with Alan Arkin. We should watch that. 00:37:20.539 --> 00:37:23.739 Just to see. He's pretty freaking crazy in that 00:37:23.739 --> 00:37:28.460 one, too. He's the crazy one. I am curious what 00:37:28.460 --> 00:37:31.039 he's like outside of Columbo. The only thing 00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:33.079 I really know him for, other than that, and you've 00:37:33.079 --> 00:37:35.300 never watched it, is he's the grandpa in Princess 00:37:35.300 --> 00:37:39.880 Bride. Which is, you know, basically he's the 00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:43.719 grandpa reading a story to his kid. There's not 00:37:43.719 --> 00:37:47.349 a lot to the role. He's good. And then Murder 00:37:47.349 --> 00:37:49.989 by Death, which I saw when I was like... He's 00:37:49.989 --> 00:37:52.829 doing a caricature of... Ironically, I think 00:37:52.829 --> 00:37:56.110 he's doing a caricature of Spillane's character. 00:37:56.309 --> 00:38:01.349 Or one of them. It's a parody of all the mystery 00:38:01.349 --> 00:38:04.190 characters. And they get invited to... It's like 00:38:04.190 --> 00:38:06.750 Clue. All these famous detectives get invited 00:38:06.750 --> 00:38:09.469 to his house. And they have to solve the murder 00:38:09.469 --> 00:38:15.590 before they get killed. I think he's... Mickey 00:38:15.590 --> 00:38:17.250 Spillane character. Not Mickey Spillane, but 00:38:17.250 --> 00:38:20.489 I can't remember his name. Yeah, that character. 00:38:20.829 --> 00:38:24.570 I just looked at that, too. I'll have to pull 00:38:24.570 --> 00:38:27.429 that up later. I think they've got the Nick and 00:38:27.429 --> 00:38:30.269 Nora Charles. I think they've got... I can remember 00:38:30.269 --> 00:38:32.670 all the authors. I can't remember Mrs. Marple 00:38:32.670 --> 00:38:40.289 and maybe... Hercule, Perrault. But they're not 00:38:40.289 --> 00:38:42.849 them. They're parody versions of those. Yeah, 00:38:42.849 --> 00:38:46.250 it's a parody version. Oh, very cool. Yeah, pretty 00:38:46.250 --> 00:38:48.710 much. I mean, other than when he was a merchant 00:38:48.710 --> 00:38:51.170 marine, he's pretty much been an actor his whole 00:38:51.170 --> 00:38:54.110 life. Yeah, but I know he did a lot of things 00:38:54.110 --> 00:38:57.389 with Cassavetes because they were good friends. 00:38:57.650 --> 00:39:01.389 But Cassavetes was more like a dark, serious 00:39:01.389 --> 00:39:05.429 guy. So, I don't know anything notorious for 00:39:05.429 --> 00:39:09.650 comedies. No. But, I mean, Columbo himself is 00:39:09.650 --> 00:39:11.829 funny in a certain way. No, that's my point. 00:39:11.889 --> 00:39:14.530 That's my point, is the character is kind of 00:39:14.530 --> 00:39:18.530 inherently goofy. Yeah. But that's, you know, 00:39:18.530 --> 00:39:22.170 I always bring up, is that, is he goofy, or is 00:39:22.170 --> 00:39:25.949 that, I personally think he projects elements 00:39:25.949 --> 00:39:28.389 of himself. The whole thing is, he projects his 00:39:28.389 --> 00:39:31.409 character, which I think is true to who he is, 00:39:31.550 --> 00:39:34.769 but he also, like, plays it up to get people 00:39:34.769 --> 00:39:37.650 on the wrong foot. Literally, the very first 00:39:37.650 --> 00:39:39.969 one, diagnosis of murder, prescription murder, 00:39:40.190 --> 00:39:41.869 the guy says, you come in here like this shaggy 00:39:41.869 --> 00:39:43.849 little dog, but you're really sharper than you... 00:39:43.849 --> 00:39:46.690 There are a lot of times in Columbo where the 00:39:46.690 --> 00:39:50.030 killer will go, you really are sharper than you 00:39:50.030 --> 00:39:54.469 act. You put on this front of being a goofball, 00:39:54.690 --> 00:39:59.010 and the question is, is it a front? That's why 00:39:59.010 --> 00:40:01.090 we always talk about those scenes where the killer 00:40:01.090 --> 00:40:02.969 isn't around, where he's doing stuff with the 00:40:02.969 --> 00:40:05.150 other cops, where he is kind of absent -minded, 00:40:05.309 --> 00:40:07.199 but he's... absent -minded in a very weirdly 00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:09.719 focused way. Columbo's a great character. He's 00:40:09.719 --> 00:40:14.639 just interesting. Yeah, absolutely. I want to 00:40:14.639 --> 00:40:16.480 say this before we end the show, or this episode. 00:40:16.639 --> 00:40:22.019 I love how he's literally offended at this Che 00:40:22.019 --> 00:40:28.079 Che restaurant. Bowl of chili costs $6. Want 00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:30.019 to jump in that DeLorean and go back to 1974 00:40:30.019 --> 00:40:37.039 now? A ritzy meal, 675 with the iced tea. I was 00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:40.579 going to say, yeah, he's like, oh, sorry, 675, 00:40:40.619 --> 00:40:45.400 I forgot the iced tea. 675. There are a couple 00:40:45.400 --> 00:40:48.539 of times in this show, specifically in the three 00:40:48.539 --> 00:40:51.639 seasons so far that we've watched, where he's 00:40:51.639 --> 00:40:54.679 gone to have the car fixed or gone to do something 00:40:54.679 --> 00:40:57.179 or gone to have some sort of service done, whether 00:40:57.179 --> 00:40:59.380 it was the car, whether it was the dog, the vet, 00:40:59.500 --> 00:41:06.000 or whatever. The price is like $16 .56 or something. 00:41:06.179 --> 00:41:09.480 And they'll say like $16 .56. And I'm like, ooh, 00:41:09.659 --> 00:41:12.780 $1 ,650. Because my mind is thinking in like 00:41:12.780 --> 00:41:15.559 today money. My mind is not thinking. There was 00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:18.059 the one somewhat recently where we talked about 00:41:18.059 --> 00:41:20.920 the counter checks. His bill for getting his 00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:25.000 car fixed was $60. It's like, oh, my God. Yeah. 00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:30.539 Yeah, exactly. I do. I think that goes back to 00:41:30.539 --> 00:41:33.820 one of the things that Columbo ultimately is 00:41:33.820 --> 00:41:36.340 actually kind of, like, there is this theme throughout 00:41:36.340 --> 00:41:41.179 all of Columbo about class and status. And Columbo 00:41:41.179 --> 00:41:45.380 is a middle -lower class character. I mean, like, 00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:46.960 I can't remember if it was this episode or the 00:41:46.960 --> 00:41:48.119 next one, like, you actually get a good look 00:41:48.119 --> 00:41:51.400 at his shoes. Oh, my God. Those things have, 00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:53.820 like, he did not get new shoes after that one 00:41:53.820 --> 00:41:55.400 episode, because those things are beat to hell. 00:41:56.250 --> 00:41:59.590 And then he's always – look at the people. He's 00:41:59.590 --> 00:42:02.809 against a publisher, this one. He's against a 00:42:02.809 --> 00:42:06.050 senator, the one he referred. But they're always 00:42:06.050 --> 00:42:11.289 wealthy, powerful, famous, influential people. 00:42:11.570 --> 00:42:14.210 He's always in those circles. As we've been talking, 00:42:14.349 --> 00:42:17.469 I have been looking into Mr. Falk himself, and 00:42:17.469 --> 00:42:19.349 obviously I've just been looking at the Wikipedia 00:42:19.349 --> 00:42:22.519 article. But one of the things I found – and 00:42:22.519 --> 00:42:25.539 I don't know if you have it or not, but unfortunately 00:42:25.539 --> 00:42:29.280 it's only in hardcover or paperback. What disappoints 00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:33.059 me is that it's not in audiobook form. His memoir 00:42:33.059 --> 00:42:40.320 was published in August of 2006. Just one more 00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:43.960 thing. I'm looking at a paperback version from 00:42:43.960 --> 00:42:50.760 2007. $13. Which is hilarious because, like, 00:42:51.130 --> 00:42:55.150 We're almost three seasons down, and he still 00:42:55.150 --> 00:42:58.530 hasn't done that yet. I mean, he's said one more 00:42:58.530 --> 00:43:01.630 thing. He's done it, but he's never done the 00:43:01.630 --> 00:43:04.289 Columbo. One more thing. Just one more thing. 00:43:04.610 --> 00:43:07.210 Yeah, just one more thing. Yeah, he still hasn't 00:43:07.210 --> 00:43:09.469 done it. The iconic one. Yeah, the iconic one. 00:43:09.570 --> 00:43:15.230 But I was hoping. When did he pass? Probably 00:43:15.230 --> 00:43:18.769 not much longer than that. He's been gone for 00:43:18.769 --> 00:43:21.730 a while. Yeah, he's been gone for a while. I 00:43:21.730 --> 00:43:26.989 don't remember. Anything else on Publisher Parish? 00:43:27.670 --> 00:43:29.789 I mean, I liked it. I thought it was a good episode. 00:43:29.929 --> 00:43:34.110 At this point, I like the episodes that change 00:43:34.110 --> 00:43:35.590 the formula, that are a little different, that 00:43:35.590 --> 00:43:38.809 make me... I always go back to the fact that 00:43:38.809 --> 00:43:40.170 when I first watched the show, it was in the 00:43:40.170 --> 00:43:42.489 90s. I would come home from grad school and watch 00:43:42.489 --> 00:43:45.070 it on A &E, and I wasn't really watching it to 00:43:45.070 --> 00:43:48.400 do a show. You know what I mean? And the episode 00:43:48.400 --> 00:43:51.980 order was random. So it is interesting to watch 00:43:51.980 --> 00:43:54.400 it in order. It is interesting to watch it to 00:43:54.400 --> 00:43:56.980 watch it and to see the way that it develops 00:43:56.980 --> 00:43:59.119 and to see the way that they change the formula 00:43:59.119 --> 00:44:01.619 and do things. Like the three -shot thing for 00:44:01.619 --> 00:44:03.760 the different, you know, the way that Columbo 00:44:03.760 --> 00:44:06.639 sometimes feel very Columbo. Like the next episode, 00:44:06.679 --> 00:44:08.400 Columbo feels very Columbo. This episode, he 00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:11.860 did not feel very Columbo. So, yeah. I like the 00:44:11.860 --> 00:44:13.300 ones that are a little different, and I think 00:44:13.300 --> 00:44:15.119 this one was a little different, which is weird 00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:16.900 because, of course, they brought back John Cassidy, 00:44:16.920 --> 00:44:19.300 the first guy. John Cassidy, yeah. So even though 00:44:19.300 --> 00:44:20.940 it was more of the same but different, like, 00:44:20.940 --> 00:44:24.400 that's the nerd mantra. That's what nerds always 00:44:24.400 --> 00:44:26.380 want, is more of the same but different. And 00:44:26.380 --> 00:44:28.099 that's what this was. And I liked it. I think 00:44:28.099 --> 00:44:29.820 it was a good episode. I mean, is it a top ten 00:44:29.820 --> 00:44:32.300 episode? No. But it's a good one, and I think 00:44:32.300 --> 00:44:34.559 it was a legit – I think he got them legitimately. 00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:42.849 Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Uh, this is the first 00:44:42.849 --> 00:44:46.170 of two times they use the split screen thing. 00:44:46.769 --> 00:44:49.670 Uh, I don't know. They've done it before, haven't 00:44:49.670 --> 00:44:53.610 they? I don't remember. All I know is what the 00:44:53.610 --> 00:44:57.110 information has in front of me says again. Folks, 00:44:57.130 --> 00:44:59.369 as always, take Wikipedia with a grain of salt. 00:44:59.789 --> 00:45:02.610 This episode has a split screen of Greenleaf's 00:45:02.610 --> 00:45:06.170 alibi, Mallory's Murder. Marriott Hartley's role 00:45:06.170 --> 00:45:09.010 is similar to this one as she played in Season 00:45:09.010 --> 00:45:12.389 7's Try and Catch Me. Spillane was the real -life 00:45:12.389 --> 00:45:15.650 author of Mike Hammer Detective Mysteries. Cassidy 00:45:15.650 --> 00:45:17.969 played the villain in three Columbo episodes, 00:45:18.170 --> 00:45:20.449 this one Murder by the Book, and now you see 00:45:20.449 --> 00:45:26.550 him. He's a magician. He's a magician. Technically 00:45:26.550 --> 00:45:31.690 a former Nazi. Absolutely, absolutely. All right, 00:45:31.690 --> 00:45:34.070 folks, we are going to go to a quick podcast 00:45:34.070 --> 00:45:36.670 ad break and hear some podcast ads, some other 00:45:36.670 --> 00:45:38.010 stuff. We're going to come back to close the 00:45:38.010 --> 00:45:40.409 show right after this. Would you mind too much 00:45:40.409 --> 00:45:43.610 coming with me to the bathroom?

On the Simplistic Reviews podcast, we talk 00:53:04.340 --> 00:53:11.420 movies. We talk TV. We talk... Hello, Julie, 00:53:11.559 --> 00:53:13.400 what the heck are you doing? Trying to make our 00:53:13.400 --> 00:53:15.900 spot sound more exciting by adding explosions. 00:53:16.559 --> 00:53:17.860 Yeah, I'm pretty sure you could have got the 00:53:17.860 --> 00:53:19.860 point across with sound effects, not the real 00:53:19.860 --> 00:53:25.199 thing. Download this show on iTunes or at simplisticreviews 00:53:25.199 --> 00:53:28.320 .blogspot .com. I'm sure your insurance company 00:53:28.320 --> 00:53:30.679 will cover that. No, they won't. No, they probably 00:53:30.679 --> 00:53:33.159 won't. Well, I guess that just about does it. 00:53:33.219 --> 00:53:36.900 All right, folks, we are back in the 175th episode 00:53:36.900 --> 00:53:41.099 of Studio 2009. We're going to rate this episode 00:53:41.099 --> 00:53:43.659 of Columbo, and we'll go through the closing 00:53:43.659 --> 00:53:45.219 and all that good stuff. I just wanted to say 00:53:45.219 --> 00:53:48.340 thank you to everyone for listening for 175 episodes. 00:53:48.480 --> 00:53:51.420 We got 25 to 200. We've got a bunch of stuff 00:53:51.420 --> 00:53:55.650 coming up here inside Studio 2009. I don't know 00:53:55.650 --> 00:53:58.309 when Dave and I will be back for Season 4 of 00:53:58.309 --> 00:54:00.309 Columbo, but we still have a couple more here 00:54:00.309 --> 00:54:03.489 in Season 3. We've got two more for the rest 00:54:03.489 --> 00:54:05.329 of this season. We've got a plan for the next 00:54:05.329 --> 00:54:08.170 stuff. Dave and I will be doing other stuff in 00:54:08.170 --> 00:54:11.230 Studio 2009 as well as you heard us go through 00:54:11.230 --> 00:54:17.090 the whole Jaws thing earlier. Maybe August anyway. 00:54:18.170 --> 00:54:22.670 It's true. Turner Classics or whatever. It's 00:54:22.670 --> 00:54:27.340 what? Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay. Cool. Cool. Cool. 00:54:27.360 --> 00:54:29.920 Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Zero to five with 00:54:29.920 --> 00:54:32.079 half points. What are you going to give publish 00:54:32.079 --> 00:54:36.820 or perish? I go back and forth. I guess a 3 .5. 00:54:36.820 --> 00:54:39.920 I think it was a good episode, but it wasn't 00:54:39.920 --> 00:54:45.980 like spectacular. Oh yeah. I'm right there with 00:54:45.980 --> 00:54:49.519 you. Yeah. I'm right there with you. 3 .5. Mixed 00:54:49.519 --> 00:54:51.280 bag in the way of the good stuff outweighing 00:54:51.280 --> 00:54:54.400 the bad kind of thing. It's not an episode I 00:54:54.400 --> 00:54:56.659 would return to, but it's not an episode that 00:54:56.659 --> 00:54:59.820 I would turn on. If we still lived in the era 00:54:59.820 --> 00:55:03.500 of television coming on TVs, where if this episode, 00:55:03.699 --> 00:55:07.360 if I turned on whatever channel, like TCM or 00:55:07.360 --> 00:55:10.739 whatever it would be, and this episode came on, 00:55:10.800 --> 00:55:13.019 I wouldn't turn this off. This is not a Columbo 00:55:13.019 --> 00:55:14.820 episode. I would be like, oh, I'm not watching 00:55:14.820 --> 00:55:19.360 that. So there's that. So yeah, three and a half 00:55:19.360 --> 00:55:23.659 all around. Very, very cool. Up next, folks, 00:55:23.780 --> 00:55:27.960 we've got Mind Over Mayhem. Any other final thoughts 00:55:27.960 --> 00:55:30.239 from you, sir, before I run through the closing? 00:55:30.559 --> 00:55:35.159 I think I got it. It's a fine episode. This has 00:55:35.159 --> 00:55:38.159 been an interesting season. It is weird they 00:55:38.159 --> 00:55:42.139 keep referring back to that stupid senator one. 00:55:42.679 --> 00:55:47.579 It was just a state senator. I think he was a 00:55:47.579 --> 00:55:50.280 state senator or was he a U .S. senator? Oh, 00:55:50.380 --> 00:55:52.480 I don't remember. He had to be a U .S. senator 00:55:52.480 --> 00:55:57.260 because they were talking about Fresno and San 00:55:57.260 --> 00:56:00.280 Francisco. Okay, that's probably what it was. 00:56:02.059 --> 00:56:04.000 All right, folks, thank you for joining us here 00:56:04.000 --> 00:56:06.460 inside Studio 2009.
