Dan Geeks Out: VHS Tape #21: Go Bo! Bo Bice Record Tape

Note: I didn't do a time index for this tape when I wrote down what was on it, because I had to take the tape out of the VCR a few times and that resets the timer to zero. You'll have to live with it.

A Three Stooges episode. How unexpected. This is an episode with the best of the Stooges - Larry, Curly, and Moe. No Joe or Shemp. In this episode, the Stooges are playing poker and using pancakes as poker chips. Moe and Curly accidentally put glue on their pancakes and have their mouths glued shut. In the commercials, it talks about a man named Vernon Dent who is the supposed man behind the Three Stooges and he guest starred as many different roles on the show. Anyway, Curly wins a $50,000 radio cash prize, and the Stooges go to stay at a fancy hotel. Three widows try to hook up with the Stooges to get their hands on the money. Unfortunately, most of it is taken away in taxes and the Stooges are back to being broke and in trouble again.

COPS. In this episode, John Walsh from America's Most Wanted is featured as he lends his talents to the show. This episode is from Jacksonville.

- Man is held up, and the police find the guy who did it. The guy tries to say that he didn't rob him, that the other man gave him money for drugs. His story is a lie though, as the police dig deeper. A fat woman recognizes John Walsh and is star struck.

- Drunk guy in a striped shirt gets stuck trying to climb a fence to get into an old folks home. He was going to visit a guy in a cowboy hat in a wheelchair with weird pale white arms. The wheelchair man says that the drunk is a nuisance and he doesn't want anything to do with him.

- This is a really weird one. Cops respond to a domestic call where a woman was beating on a man. The guy is really drunk and invites the cops into the house where he shows them all of his snakes. One of the cops, a big bulky black guy, is terrified. The drunk also has this weird altar thingie in his living room with a ballerina doll and a skeleton candle on it.

- Cop is flagged down by a black man running from another black man. The man who was doing the chasing says that he gave the other guy ten dollars to buy weed and he tried to run off and steal it. The guy who flagged down the police is found with crack on him and goes to jail. The chaser is set free.

- Another bizarre one. A crazy drunk blonde haired lady is locked inside of a bank. Apparently she fell asleep in the bathroom and they locked her in. From inside the bank she repeatedly calls 911 even though there are cops outside trying to get in. She is freaking out because she wants to smoke a cigarette. Finally the cleaning crew shows up to let her out. The officer smells alcohol on her breath and she says someone threw alcohol on her. She belongs to an old folks home and they take her home at the end of the episode. She is really bizarre.
