Bonanas for Bonanza

Mary Holland (Wild Horses, Happiest Season) joins Dalton, Mutt and Amy for an episode of Bonanza that has no relevance to contemporary events whatsoever! Amy opens up about the challenges of being married to a Frankenstein, before they watch Season 1, Episode 18 of Bonanza, "A House Divided," in which a shadowy businessman tries to fool Little Joe into siding with the Confederacy.

On today’s Bonanas For Bonanza (aka The Know Your Place Dating Service Theater), the gang is joined by the rest of the Journeymen, Cubby Lauderbourne, Jimmy Blades and Shunt McGuppin (Mark McConville, James Bladon and Jeremy Carter)! After guessing the ages of different Bonanza guest stars, they watch Season 1, Episode 17 of Bonanza, “The Outcast,” in which a beautiful woman comes into the lives of our heroes and does not die.

Dalton, Mutt and Amy welcome the great Paul Scheer to the podcast, who immediately horrifies them with his plans for a Bonanza reboot. Dalton explains you can't teach a stallion how to make muffins, and Amy pitches Paul on her Supreme Basket Wagon holiday special. Then they watch Season 1, Episode 16 of Bonanza, "El Toro Grande," in which Hoss fights a bear to protect a bull.

This week Dalton, Mutt and Amy welcome the best-smelling creator of "The Complete Woman," Marabel May (Amanda Lund)! Marabel teaches Mutt what a grocery store is, and offers Amy some tips to spice up her marriage with costumes. Then they watch Season 1, Episode 15 of Bonanza, "The Last Hunt," in which Hoss and Little Joe disarm a knife wielding Shoshone woman.

This week's guest is Merrill Markoe, legendary TV writer and the author of "We Saw Scenery"! Dalton, Mutt & Amy discuss her childhood watching Bonanza and the time she fell in love with a Nazi. Then they discuss episode 14 of Bonanza, "The Sisters," in which Adam and a saloon girl are spied on by a pervert horse.
