The Secret World of Public Access TV Iceberg Explained

I went through this Iceberg chart of Public  Access TV shows and added some myself with   the most commonly known ones at the top and  the farther down we go on the iceberg the more   obscure and strange things get so some of these  shows you definitely have never heard of before  

And for the other shows you may have seen covered  by other great YouTubers already I hope you still   get something new out of them here but let’s dive  in TV’s best psychic didn’t need a crystal ball to  

Know when he was being punked from 2005 to 2009  New York was graced with with the flaccid ego   show a call-in program hosted by CB Walker the  self-proclaimed world’s foremost psychic energy   reader but rather than offer profound insights  into caller’s Futures CB would provide them with  

An earful you can get a foot up your ass what  you can get GRE hi I need help yes you do hun   can I get a reading hun you don’t call her asking  for stuff like that this is Da and if he didn’t  

Like their Vibe CB would hang up on them almost  instantly good evening yes uhh good evening good   morning look look at is this Frey is this what  do you want sius good evening happy uh-huh ladies   and gentlemen I got to go CB couldn’t care less  about the conventional Norms of TV hosting and  

Was usually reclined back so far he gave viewers  an out of focus shot up his nose maybe so he could   sniff out even the smallest tint of foolishness  from callars when he did his lip would quiver  

With disapproval I’m tell I’m about ready to get  fed up here I’m put a spell on somebody here but   I am here to help you uh-huh do you understand  ladies and gentlemen come on now good evening   your mother thank you listen man you I can’t  hear you hello uh-huh through all the episodes  

I watched not a single caller got an authentic  psychic reading but then again most weren’t   looking for a psychic reading they just wanted  to troll Walker who is actually trolling them   the real identity behind CB Walker is Dario prer  who was a master of meta pranking in the grand  

Finale of flaccid ego Dario dropped the facade  finally breaking character to express gratit ude   to his viewers before Fading Into public access  history CB Walker’s Spirit wouldn’t stay dormant   though over a decade later the psychic character  recently reemerged with YouTube live streams I’ve  

Personally called in over 20 times and it makes  me feel like a crazy ex and I’ve never been   able to get through but CB Walker already knew  that Carmen’s banana cooking features Austin’s   resident banana drag queen dishing out recipes  all centered around bananas behind the bright  

Lights and banana peels was David Han who I’m  pretty sure was inspired by Carmen Miranda the   chaita banana girl Dawning a vibrant Persona  and massive papier-mâché knockers each episode   is a culinary journey and her knife skills make  me queasy there’s a spontaneous nature to the  

Show as if Carmen did her grocery shopping with a  blindfold then triy to assemble a recipe from her   findings on air often forgetting important steps  along the way I know oh you know what I forgot oh   I forgot the B I forgot the most important  ingredient on here it’s the banana how can  

I forget the banana but through it all Carmen’s  positivity shines through that’s the good thing   about bananas she says no matter how you cook  them they’re going to be wonderful a great big   banana Kiss TV had its standards its Norms its  order then EMT came to turn it all Upside Down  

The Awful Truth About Society aired on Missoula  Community Access television helmed by EMT aka   the punk rocker and he loves chaos but not too  much chaos what kind of garbage is that oops my   anarchy symbol EMT used his show as a soap box  to rant about society’s many pitfalls nothing  

Was off the table unless he accidentally knocks  it off why do we hate kids I love children if   you don’t want your kids around why don’t you give  them to me each episode was meant to cover things  

Like the evils of the government or the satanic  school system but EMT would end up basically   filibustering himself and never fully complete  the points he tried to make or he’d contradict   himself by saying something like we got to boycott  the large corporations while he was sipping from  

His Pepsi can but the Anarchy doesn’t end there my  guy breaks every cardinal rule in The Book of Life   television constantly coughing and eating chips  into the mic going crazy the most captivating   part might be seeing emt’s transformation over  the show’s two decade run as the episodes roll  

On we see shifts in emt’s hairstyles beliefs and  even his musical tastes in his late 40s he says   he still loves punk rock but has retired from the  movement and nowadays finds himself playing easy   listening music a little more and I just feel  like I’m more the type that would could get a  

Couple of bottles of wine and listen to Gordon  Lightfoot all day and put around in the garden   and EMT that’s a mood he stopped his show in 2015  because of low viewership but said he’s open to   returning if there’s enough interest and as long  as people don’t expect him to apologize for any  

Past controversial comments you all said I needed  to include this one and you were so right I’m not   a gamer so I was hesitant to talk about a video  gameer review show but thanks to the host George  

Wood I didn’t even need to be interested in retro  video games to be entertained by what comes out   of this guy’s mouth gaming in the Clinton years  was a ’90s public access phenomenon for those who   missed this cult classic like me imagine a man  dishing out hot takes that are so absurd they  

Leave you in a State of Shock why not have a game  where you have to find and drive to the hospital   before your wife delivers her baby Donkey Kong  Country is truly perfect if you do not get this  

Amazing new generation of donkey Kong Madness  you are stupid yes I know that’s insulting but   it’s also the truth we have a challenge to Idols  in Tomb Raider 3 create a story line in which Lura   gets breast cancer so the backstory is that in  the mid 1990s George wood began his journey on  

Maryland Public Access with flights of fantasy  which originally started with a focus solely on   comic books over time his show moved to discussing  only video games a realm he admittedly wasn’t as   passionate about his playing skills were were  frustrating to watch for more seasoned Gamers  

And comedians could only wish they penned material  as unintentionally hilarious as this guy’s game   reviews gaining video game expertise as he went  George wood powered through over 200 episodes   eventually earning CT status when YouTube gave  his archived gems a second life and thanks to  

This great documentary by YouTuber blue jacket  I learned that after git TC y George wood made   two other shows who wants to see my derer and  who wants to go back to Cuba then he faked his  

Own death in 2006 then returned with gaming in  the Trump years and as of 2022 would has come   full circle serving on the board of directors for  Bowie access television the very Channel where all   the magic began we all love success stories but  can we love a failure story too let me introduce  

You to John kilduff and his multitasking circus  act let’s paint TV began in 2001 airing on LA’s   Public Access station with John painting cooking  taking calls from viewers running on a treadmill   and hosting a show all at the same time it goes  about as well as you’d expect the paintings are  

Crude the food looks inedible now let’s just plan  that for about 20 minutes okay and at times John   is so flustered he forgets how to speak let’s say  another call hello pain exercise blend drinks it’s   a disaster and that’s all a part of the plan  this article from 2015 says good luck finding  

Anyone who fails as passionately as he does on  top of that the viewers who call into his show   are brutally usually actively rooting against him  hello caller all [ __ ] [ __ ] oh okay what are   you guys cooking fried egg sandwiches what are you  cooking fried egg an egg how come you don’t cook  

Your weener on there thank you but that doesn’t  knock down Jon and his laser focused optimism   this is not just entertainment it’s empowerment  there are profound lessons on the creative process   splattered all over that are cheering for us to  embrace chaos and embrace failure John says it’s  

Not my job to make a masterpiece and succeed it’s  my job to be there and persevere and experiment   and fail and keep going and he embodies this  philosophy I’m watching a guy crash and burn   and that gives me permission to try something new  and crash and burn too he even failed on National  

Television auditioning to the judges of America’s  Got Talent he got three quick x’s and Piers Morgan   called him incredibly irritating but one guy who  understood Jon’s vision is Eric Andre he credits   let’s paint TV as one of the main Inspirations  for his show on Adult Swim and if you inspired  

Eric Andre did you really fail still how long can  someone stay sane doing what Jon does turns out   at least 22 years because he is on that treadmill  to this day live streaming regularly exercising   painting making music even occasionally taking  his show on the bike paths and it’s all to inspire  

Folks to get out there and say to themselves  I don’t know if this is going to taste good or   nothing but I’m going to do it anyway TV party is  the T TV show that’s a party in New York City in  

1978 two cultural revolutions were Brewing punk  rock and Public Access television where these two   movements merged together was Glenn O’Brien’s TV  party a blend of talk show and music TV party was   made to be the talk show for the downtown scene or  the anti Johnny Carson heroin dealers are Manning  

The cameras David burn is hosting a cowboy night  Andy warhol’s janitor is the music head messages   are being scribbled across the screen by John  Michelle baskot and with in the chaos and potm   smoke there’s a deeper political commentary  O’Brien saw television as a means for powerful  

People to control and shape public discourse TV  party was his way of leveling the playing field   and it wasn’t just for the underground crowd even  David Letterman said it was his favorite talk show   TV party was a brave exploration of counterculture  and really was what the name suggests a party  

Where the boundary between performer and audience  disappeared Glenn says if you’re cool enough to be   there you’re cool enough to be in the show and  if you can find it you can come looking back   TV party may have only lasted a couple years but  its framework for televised Rebellion can still  

Be felt in so many of the other shows that we’ll  be talking about in the rest of this video the   Chris geard show was probably the most requested  Public Access show for me to talk about it started  

In 2009 as a stage show and 2 years later it  debuted on the Manhattan neighborhood Network   it Bears Chris geth’s name in the title but it’s  a total group effort every episode has at least a   dozen people on stage and Chris feeds off of the  commotion depending on what week audiences tuned  

In they’d see an hour-long improvised song being  performed by everyone or a birdhouse being built   by hand in the corner of the stage while others  taste test AR rugula salad maybe even a human   fish being waxed while cerss doxed themselves  so the used wax strips could be mailed to them  

Also there’s a silent hula hoop dancer in the  background at all times which took me way too   long to notice it’s so fun to watch there’s such  a welcoming and friendly energy I kept turning on  

More episodes while researching for this video and  I’m like okay I got to move on to another show but   I couldn’t cuz I didn’t want to leave the party  to turn off tcgs is to voluntarily give yourself  

A severe case of fomo and the party kept growing  tcgs was one of the few public access shows to   successfully transition into network television  it premiered on Fusion in 2015 and it gave us   John Ham wrestling in a Sumo costume Pete Holmes  using a bedet on stage and the human fish doing  

Whatever this is with Will frell while Chris  officiates a wedding the Chris Geth show ran on   Pure Heart for S years and felt like a refreshing  smoothie of theatrical spontaneity classic Public   Access Vibes with the instant connectivity of an  internet live stream sprinkled on top if you grew  

Up in the 9s there’s a big possibility that you  were introduced to Public Access television by the   great Daryl Nathan serenading viewers at home his  mission was to spread positive music music Around   the World in His all-inclusive catchphrase he made  sure to embrace everyone good evening ladies and  

Gentlemen boys and girls and little babies too  his music was mostly built on presets from his   keyboard but his style was all his own and  every song was unmistakably a Daryl Nathan   original his songs weren’t mere compositions  they were an extension of his soul filled with  

An unabashed positivity trees birds flowers it’s  just all about good feelings it all started when   Nathan took a class at Grand Rapids Public Access  Studio recalling that moment in a 2020 interview   a grtv volunteer described the collective awe  that gripped the room when Nathan performed in  

Front of them for the first time from everything  I’ve learned it seems that to know Daryl Nathan   was to love him while his music would never be  critically acclaimed there was still a universal   appreciation for his courage and dedication to his  art but it also seems like fans of his question  

Whether he really knew how loved he was in July of  2020 Daryl Nathan passed away from complications   of diabetes and it makes me sad to think that  he may not have ever truly grasped the depth of   affection that surrounded him because here we are  over 20 years later and we’re still talking about  

The prince of Grand Rapids TB jerk Beast aired in  Seattle in the early 2000s with viewers calling   in to be gleefully insulted by a papier-mâché  monster the show’s website described it as 30   minutes of pure blinding hatred directed at you  the viewing audience call in and try to outwear  

Us you’ll find it rather difficult one member of  the show says all social boundaries were ignored   and we received death threats on a regular basis  beyond the entertainment value it must have been   cathartic I picture someone coming home after an  exhausting day of work or school and instead of  

Internalizing that frustration they vented out  at a gigantic red monster living in their TV set   plus who can deny the entertainment value of Rage  content after its run on public access jerk Beast   has developed a complicated Legacy and decades  after its original airing the the show’s creators  

Viewed their early work through a new lens and  began to request its removal from online platforms   basically it sounds like the creators feel like  jerk Beast content has been hijacked by bad folks   and they want to reel everything in and let jerk  Beast Fade Into Obscurity for a while so that the  

Show can get some distance from those that are  using it in hateful ways their fan base and the   lost media Community don’t all seem to agree with  this eraser method though and it’s caused quite   the fuffle when the creators took to Reddit about  this request some fans were understanding While  

Others were straight up hostile I think jerk Beast  is an interesting case study on the relationship   between creators content and audience nowadays  A lot of the show is lost media and whether the   Beast is Unleashed on the world again remains at  the discretion of its creators this guy survived  

Making this show through nothing but divine  intervention before the jackass crew were injuring   themselves for our Amusement Southern Ontario  had its own Wild Man causing a Ruckus with the   captain video show DIY Daredevil Ralph zavadil  had a weekly Community cable show that involved  

Him trying out stunts like rooftop tobogganing  one week telephone pole sledding another his   wild instincts fueled by Captain video’s Instant  Breakfast AKA snorting raw eggs up his nose the   show was an outlet for his Insanity Captain Video  swore I’m not trying to kill myself I just want to  

Make people laugh a noble goal but one that nearly  cost him his life during one Infamous stunt he had   attempted to jump into his pool from the top of a  ladder when he slipped and broke his neck but in  

A Twisted way Fortune was on his side a Kid Next  Door happened to be watching and got his mom to   call 911 when First Responders arrived they found  the camera still running a broken neck and back   where nothing C video couldn’t handle and when his  pool plunge stunt started going viral his response  

Was a true reflection of who he is he simply said  people laughing at me breaking my neck that’s what   it’s all about the cab video show never grew to  be more than a wild guy who happened to own a  

Camera and Ralph was okay with that Captain Video  didn’t care to make the show more than it was even   when offered the help he just believes everybody  has a hint of craziness within them and he’s here  

To teach us to embrace that the 2011 documentary  beauty day gives us a closer look at the life of   this Maverick and I really enjoyed watching it  without exaggeration one of the greatest shows   ever to be on television that’s how the AV club  described the amateur talent show Stairway to  

Stardom for anyone looking to make it big this was  a stage of dream where passion often overshadowed Perfection it aired in a pretty simple Studio  setup in New York City from 1979 to the early   ’90s with an absolute Kaleidoscope of different  performers host Frank Massie seemed to have a  

Sixth sense for scouting performers that would  make Unforgettable TV moments there’s something   for everyone music comedy drama dancing and some  legitimately undefinable acts every episode has   the feel of a season premiere of American Idol  when the quality of auditions were 50/50 between  

Breathtaking and baffling though the acts that  came out of Stairway to stardom were so mystifying   it feels like your TV antenna accidentally tuned  into the frequency from an alternate Dimension   and while most didn’t climb the stairway  to mainstream stardom some did find success  

Anthony Chula seen here dancing in an episode of  Stairway to stardom went on to be convicted of   bribing jockeys and fixing horse races wait this  is a different Anthony Chula this Anthony Chula   went on to become a Tony nominated choreographer  which we can all agree is way better than getting  

Involved in a horse fixing ring and entering  witness protection perhaps steroid of stardom   played a role in setting our dancers course away  from a life of horse crimes we’ll never know for   sure but it’s a fun thought Spirit of Truth  featured the Holy Roller with anger management  

Issues Reverend X aggressive religious Rants and  even more aggressive camera work Reverend X is   one un frustrated dude with a missing front tooth  and rocking this special one-of-a-kind righteous   mullet bald in the front Rapture in the back not  to not to um obey me [ __ ] your th I’m God and  

[ __ ] you not shut up [ __ ] youin what the hell  every line is special since he’s a deity and all   and it makes me think what if he’s right and God  acted like this you got me now you figured me out  

You [ __ ] didn’t come [ __ ] poop then [ __ ]  poop thing is Colin viewers weren’t believing   any of it they didn’t even think it was a real  Bible in his hand you don’t know whether you’re a   Believer or not he’s ready to Smite you and this  guy is even talking smack with the devil like  

They’re going to have a pay-per-view wrestling  match the devil was a [ __ ] liar so you know   I ain’t worried B 5 years into Spirit of Truth  his show was pulled from the air after he took   his pants off and commanded viewers to look for  some sin this show was was described as stupid  

Human tricks on methamphetamines as the Public  Access TV craze swept through New York City in   the80s Beyond vaudville was breaking the mold of  talk variety shows at the helm was the endearingly   awkward Frank hope and his co-host David Green  who looks like he could explode with rage at any  

Moment and kind of looks like Nick schwarz’s  character in Benchwarmers who eats sunscreen   stuffed in a tiny Manhattan Studio Beyond feville  showcased a Melting Pot of interesting people the   guest list was act Tiny Tim Al Lewis the famed  Underdog lady and Omar Travers who was known for  

Breaking into Yoko Ono’s apartment I don’t know  this YouTube commenter says you know a talk show   is out there when Tiny Tim is the least unusual  guest then when MTV brought the show to Cable   under the new title oddville we got the likes  of blinkin 82 and a guy whose hands wrestle each

Other everyone on the show is just so freaking  interesting and I really think the charm   comes from how respectful and patient Frank hope  is towards these very eclectic guests as the host   he comes from a place of pure curiosity with the  goal of giving Outsiders a place to be who they  

Are there’s so many moments when it feels like the  expectation is for the show to go towards mockery   and it doesn’t and it’s nice to see today rich  brown The Man Behind Frank hope keeps the spirit  

Of the show alive continuing to post on the Beyond  Vaudeville YouTube channel before he was known as   the face of Infowars with his wild and harmful  lies his lawsuits and bankruptcy claims Alex   Jones was just another weird character in Austin  Texas when he wasn’t working for his dad’s dental  

Office Alex Jones was spending basically all of  his free time at the actv studio he’d blow off   steam on air by spouting conspiracy theories with  his trademark loud and belligerent personality a   sign of his growing paranoia which I’m sure no one  would have predicted could get way worse talks of  

Government microchips and bioweapon attacks and  he seemed to believe that he and his mom were   being followed by helicopters I genuinely cannot  follow most of what he’s saying and that didn’t   seem to matter to viewers because supposedly most  would just turn on actv get stoned and laugh at  

Him his unstable Behavior was a go-to target for  local prank callers one time Alex Jones got into   a fist fight in the parking lot of the actv studio  when a group of these prank callers showed up and  

Alex Jones recognized one of their voices and a  fight broke out when first diving into this era   of Alex Jones I couldn’t figure out the name of  his show I saw exposing corruption the real spin   the freedom report which one was the actual  name turns out these are all different shows  

He hosted I guess he decided if he wasn’t going  to stand out in the Austin scene he was going   to carpet bomb the Austin Airways until he stood  out and it worked because over time Jones’s shows   became a defining feature of Austin’s nighttime  television and filmmaker Richard link later even  

Cast Jones in two of his movies as his Spotlight  grew bigger the mystery of who is Alex Jones was   growing too some thought Alex Jones was playing a  character in order to work his way up to becoming   a stand-up comedian others thought he genuinely  believed in his conspiracies and some thought he  

Was originally doing atick which then was getting  so much attention that after a while Alex Jones   started believing he was the character he was  playing I think the debate around Jones’s Persona   remains a conspiracy theory in and of itself  Mrs mouth isn’t your average TV host cuz she’s  

An upside down chin with the taste for fashion and  The Gift of Gab M mouth could be seen on New York   Public Access in the 80s and 90s chatting eating  laughing and even making flight reservations yeah   I watched 15 minutes of Mrs mouth booking a flight  and found it completely captivating the best  

Moments come during snack time when Mrs mouth’s  assistant feeds her and doesn’t know when to stop honestly it’s just great content Mrs mouth  has the giggles at all times the whole bit   just puts them in such a silly mood it feels like  an old YouTube video blooper real real and after  

Some time staring into the eyes of this chin I’m  entranced this isn’t the bottom half of someone’s   face this is Mrs mouth the upside down Diva  of Public Access TV The muin X Monster’s more   refined spouse and she’s looking elegant as ever  while her Show wrapped up in ’95 Mrs mouth turned  

Some heads when she uploaded a few Tik toks out of  nowhere in 2021 teasing new content but so far she   still has us waiting I’m excited to say everyone’s  favorite Public Access Darlings are back we first  

Spoke about unwind with the sweeties in my last  Iceberg video and at that time it was shrouded   in mystery for years with only a few minutes of  the show available anywhere online but since then   the sweeties have opened their vault in a big way  uploading batches of their Whimsical Clips by the  

Dozens including full episodes onto their YouTube  channel all of this has reassured me that our   weird fixation with bringing the sweeties out of  hiding was totally worth it because I officially   love unwinding with the sweeties I’ve spent  hours kicking back and watching their delightful banter oh yeah

Hot dog hot dog hot dog hot dog hot dog hot  dog hot dog hot dog hot dog hot dog hot dog   dogs H and now that I have more context I’d  like to clarify something I said last time  

The sweeties do not go by Gus and Emma schlish  Gus and Emma are separate characters and Friends   of the sweedies who never show their faces  but provide a lot of atome and on the street   segments for the program the sweeties also did  the honor of answering a few burning questions  

I had for them what have the sweeties been up  to since the show ended the show never ended   we have continued but not on tape what got you  to start posting your old clips recently after   33 and a third years we caved to the demand  and constant harassment to be seen again we  

Wanted to end the Lost media mystery hysteria  and set the record straight okay sweet do you   have a favorite episode you’ve ever made or a  favorite memory from making the show the one   we just posted number 24 are you wanting to keep  your secret identities Under Wraps yes no maybe  

Sometimes could there a new season of unwind with  the sweeties on the horizon sure sweetie you bet   your life and you know I must say this did help  me unwind dinner dancing with Frank pachowski   was a unique Fusion of interpretive dance and  patriotic flare topped with salad dressing Frank  

Bachowski is our enthused dancer who seems to  have Bamboozled a group of senior citizens and   forced them to take part in a Satanic ritual that  starts with him serving the elders salad dressing   which this second lady politely declines when  once everybody’s got a little sauce he serves  

Himself the rest of the bottle he gives the  folks in all clear to begin eating and some   do some don’t from there Frank dives into other  foods and condiments he’s slapping his butt cheeks   with chicken drumsticks bagpipe music plays the  rest of the raw chicken is shoved down the front  

Of his undies Frank cracks an egg and rubs the  yolk over his thighs his feet are dunked into   jars of peanut butter then he sits there for a  moment while we hear a collection of wet farts the bag pipes return which energizes Frank  to stand back up and keep going and somehow  

Throughout this whole messy ordeal Frank is  able to cover his entire body head to toe   in food everywhere except his mouth but like  the tease that Frank pachowski is he cut the   30-minute Public Access performance into five  parts and published only three of them it’s now  

Been 15 years Frank please drop the last two  parts Frank briefly came out of retirement in   2016 for a game show that challenges contestants  to watch extremely annoying talent show acts for   24 straight hours Talent overload never got  picked up but it gave us footage of Frank  

Doing his thing I say keep dancing Frank the  world is a richer place with your unique flavor   of artistry Spud Goodman is the Pepto Bismol  loving late night talk show host of the Spud   Goodman show it kind of has the pesky unconcerned  style and attitude you’d see from a high school  

TV production class in a good way this show  debuted in Tacoma Washington in 1985 it was   made with basically no budget and usually filmed  in rooms that were rented out at local nonprofits   but with celebrity interviews live audiences and  music from the world’s only accordion playing  

Elvis impersonator Spud managed to grow this  into Seattle’s most watched local cable show   I get it where else can you find a Kendall  Roy lookalike interviewing movie stars while   a karate fight goes on behind them there’s a fun  flare to these interviews like throughout it’ll  

Briefly cut to a TV set that’s airing Spud’s  internal thoughts super Spud prided himself   on phoning it all in and he’d ask questions that  seem out of left field in the most nonchalant way   a tactic that would disarm a lot of celebrities  and lead to conversations both entertaining and  

Genuine no matter how big his cult following  grew Spud was committed to self-deprecating   humor he had another show called the other  Spud Goodman show that aired right after his   main show to point out all of his slip-ups  and areas in need of improvement some clips  

From the Spud Goodman show have unintentionally  incredible rewatch value longterm goals president King Out of the Shadows of a studio stage  walks a person dressed in Goth attire our   presenter tells viewers and ghouls alike to  buckle up cuz we’re about to hop on the hell  

Ride things are getting spooky when it cuts to  a shot of their co-host at their desk with a   print out of that classic jump scare video which  still counts Vin Z starts dropping some spoken   word poetry it’s deep it’s dark it’s interrupted  those that eat your fingers your privates your

Toes is that it no where’s the rest I paused for  a moment cuz there’s a pause in it after that Z   is just never able to find their flow again  what’s interesting is that this show is like  

A ghost story only one short clip has ever been  found online no one even knew the Show’s real   name everyone just called it goth Public Access  then someone named Bill Simmon commented on blame   it on Jorge’s video on Public Access TV saying  they were a tech for the show and revealed its  

True name death’s head theater that clip we all  know and love is from one episode of many and   The Two Hosts had a couple other Public Access  programs as well that they did for the Vermont   Community Access Media Station and the Eerie  poem that’s recited isn’t in original but from  

A movie called dead and rotting in addition to  that info Ral the interrupting co-host herself   once hinted there’s more footage stashed away  somewhere in storage but that Treasure Trove   might remain hidden as they sadly passed away in  2016 besides this two-minute video all we’ve got  

Of Z is a clip of them dancing on another  show that real hosted and that’s all we’ll   probably get from the Enigma that is death’s head  theater from Sunday school to rap stardom this   Fant triloquist doll is a true renaissance man but  let’s rewind a bit the scene begins in Los Angeles  

With the Junior Christian Science Bible Lesson  program the brainchild of David leeby har using   an ensemble of Puppets David taught Christian  Science Doctrine and the dangers of drugs and   UFOs the show had its quirks especially  with special guests who added more chaos  

Than Clarity like the entirely german-speaking  woman on the entirely English-speaking children show still its offbeat Allure kept it on air for  an impressive two decades the star of the show was   Chip the black boy but once the curtains closed  on the Christian program chip not one to be typ  

Cast reinvented himself completely and began  releasing rap music about Colts and the songs   kind of slap am I weird am I everything you chip  was so different from the puppet that we once knew   that Theory surfaced online that his owner claimed  the puppet was stolen at an airport baggage claim  

And the thief was the one uploading these cryptic  raps of the possessed doll but that doesn’t seem   to be true the music is actually a collabor ation  between David and another musician now as far as  

David leby Hart goes he might be one of the most  interesting people to have ever lived Beyond his   Public Access Fame Dave was an LA Legend known as  the puppet man performing with his puppet Doug the   dog outside event spaces after shows David also  claims that he came up in the entertainment scene  

With Robin Williams even rooming with each other  for a Time David caught the attention of comedic   Duo Tim and Eric and they appeared on his Public  Access show and even gave him a whole season of   his own Adult Swim series called I love David  which he hilariously misspelled while drawing  

The logo they really gave him a genuine quality  TV show with full creative control and it’s a   delightful ride into the mind of David leeby har  don’t let the name fool you Mystic kids Funtime   wasn’t your regular Children’s Program this  was a straightup drug induced hallucination  

With an extradimensional demigod puppet as  your psychedelic guide during the late ’90s   the the people of Austin Texas called into  this show seeking otherworldly guidance and   would find themselves engaged with the FASTT  talking Holy One spouting gems like filth is  

Art only if you look at it with [ __ ] filled  eyes his wise words could only be topped by the   ancient Hawaiian sayings from Tito in rocket  power Mystic kids Funtime was created by Ross   wizy who started making puppets while working  as a fax machine refurbisher using only Austin  

Chronicles newspapers and masking tape to birth  characters like the Mystic Guru who would go on   to host one of the strangest puppet shows ever  with the Psychedelic backdrop of swirling colors   trippy technical glitches and slow shutter  speed it all makes for a slow motion tie Dy  

Daydream along with the weird all knowing puppet  to top it all off there’s a Mystic pillar in there   voiced by Alex Jones in a YouTube comment Ross  mentioned that Alex Jones was only in a couple  

Things because he didn’t get along with other cast  members but I thought it just added to the bizarre   micro budget universe of the Mystic puppet God s  Mr who is a self-described 21st century nun who   hosts a talk show in Denver Colorado centered  around life and spirituality the obvious lead  

Here is their appearance which is undoubtedly  frightening one that you would expect to see   in a horror film but behind this haunting Visage  there’s a lot of meaning and purpose that embodies   their journey of self-discovery sister who their  full name being sister who does she think she is  

Started sister who presents on Denver Community  television in 1993 they Pride themselves as a   spiritual educator creating their char character  under the ancient archetype of the Sacred clown   every detail of their ritual makeup holds deep  symbolic meaning to them they say it’s as if you  

Get a look at my soul as if it’s me turned inside  out this explanation was helpful but also made   me sad I won’t pretend that their attire isn’t  jarring and it has caught flak they even share   journal entries on their website of times when  they’ve been kicked out of places while in their  

Sister who get up yet for them it’s an external  map of their inner self whether or not you’re   comfortable with sister who’s appearance they are  are undeniably an extremely interesting person and   their digital footprint is just as intriguing  their website has an insanely detailed history  

Of sister who including newsletters they’ve been  releasing monthly since 1998 lots of inspirational   photos and four sister Who albums their dedication  is clear and they love hiking Colorado 14ers as a   fellow denverite I would love to join them on one  of these after watching some sister who presents  

Episodes and the initial shock wore off I found  them to be pretty chill if anything sister who   is a teacher leading by example that when you  put your authentic self out there judgment is   unavoidable and regardless of it all they march on  to their own tune doing what they believe is true  

To who they are sister who presents is currently  on a long Hiatus their most recent update from   July was that they’re going through a rough time  something to do with regaining a lot of their   possessions including their sister who wardrobe  and video set and trying to make their way back  

To Colorado before trolls were online one teenage  goth icon battled them on live television and went   undefeated raw time aired in Austin Texas during  the 9s and early 2000s showcasing music videos   but let’s set the record straight this was not a  request show I repeat this was not a request show  

Raw time had a rotation of hosts who would take  calls from viewers live on air and the standout   was Tina Reena imagine enduring hours of cat  calls and insults on a nightly basis only to   emerge completely unscathed raw time you’re an  ugly ass stupid [ __ ] bit you sound stupid ho  

Raw time [ __ ] you stupid ugly ass trailer park  [ __ ] [ __ ] okay raw time this young Powerhouse   all of 16 years old handled some truly awful  callers with finesse and wit yelling raw time   into the phone she’d remind you they don’t take  requests and more often than not your music taste  

Sucked anyway do you have any Kid Rock we do but I  don’t think we’re going to play them ever raw time   I’d like to say you’re looking pretty shitty  tonight but what’s new I’m sorry I won’t let  

Happen again raw time you trashy [ __ ] that’s me  do you have any emotions you dirty little [ __ ]   I think I used to taren’s Reign on Raw time only  lasted about 6 months but she left her Mark thanks  

To Dave TV the creator of raw time clips from the  show have resurfaced over the years on YouTube and   Tik Tok seeing tin Arena handle callers with such  Panache strikes a chord with many who want to be  

Just like her in the face of cynic including  me one mean comment on my videos and I’m in   tears despite this red attention there’s an air  of mystery surrounding tinina old blogs from’   04 say she was getting ready for college at the  time and joked about a project of hers that will  

Be released all the way in the very distant  future of 2021 but Tina Rena remains absent   from the public eye and in an interview Dave  explained Tina’s wish to maintain her privacy   when Dave shared the internet’s recent curiosity  about her she suggested telling everyone that she  

Died of a heroin overdose whatever the truth she  seems fine with staying out of the spotlight and   considering how the internet is Tina’s choice to  stay silent is maybe the ultimate Act of defiance   The Adventures of Electra elf and fluffer by day  Electra elf is a magazine reporter and fluffer is  

A dog model but when danger calls the two put on  stylish leotards and kick butt taking down corrupt   Senators sleazy Frat Boys satanic Cults landlords  zombie tourists and other miserable Mal contents   in each heart stopping episode The Adventurous  of Electro elant fluffer is very home brw with  

Special effects and production design that you  can tell had basically no budget behind it and   I like how obtainable that makes the show feel  and the quality is deceiving this show wasn’t   made by a bunch of beginners director Nick Zed  was actually the leader of an underground film  

Movement that Rose in the 80s known as Cinema of  transgression this group created movies with no   budget that didn’t just go against the grain of  Contemporary Art it rejected it completely the   show looks amateur not because of the team lack  of experience or talent in fact the acting the  

Costumes and Ingenuity behind the cheap special  effects are all pretty great it’s done this way   as an outright refusal to obey the golden rules  of film Theory which they see according to their   Manifesto as a stifling straight jacket and listen  if you don’t get it it’s because it’s a level of  

Punk rock you just wouldn’t understand but anyway  I digress the whole show and even bonus behind   the scenes content is on YouTube and if you’re  into things that are made purposefully to be in   the so bad it’s good category you’ll probably be  interested in this this is the dog food Whisperer  

And if you ever wondered which dog food is truly  top tier this is the guy to ask Manfred Kibbles   a renowned dog food expert reviews Gourmet dog  food brands evaluating their texture smell and   most importantly taste from Channel 7’s rail  talk hour in Proctor Minnesota the dog food  

Whisperer segment starts with a disclaimer the  station wants to make it extremely clear with   viewers that manfred’s opinions on dog food  are entirely his own so if you want to know   the station Executives thoughts on dog food you’re  going to have to reach out to them separately now  

Back to our host Manfred Kibbles isn’t phoning in  this bit he’s genuinely diving into these dishes   and giving honest critiques in his review of gravy  train he detects a unique scent of Captain Crunch   paired with tuna I really can’t even tell if it’s  all a joke or if he actually has background in  

This cuz he’s throwing out what sound like real  factoids about dog food that only an expert would   know by the end of his segment as Kibbles urges  viewers to feed their dog dogs only the best I   realized that behind the wide-eyed exterior lies  a man who genuinely cares about K9 nutrition we  

Should be glad somebody’s on television advocating  for what our pets eat cuz a lot of the products   out there are depressing so next time you find  yourself in the dog food aisle spare a thought   for Manfred Kibbles and reach for the good  stuff getting arrested isn’t typically a path  

To success but for these two Rebels it was the  first step towards making history it all started   when Bart was booked for streaking across Indiana  University’s campus he was assigned to community   service at Bloomington Community Access television  and it was here that Bart learns how to produce  

Videos and thus in 1992 Jay and B on the Rocks was  born with Jay the bartender and B the editor what   began as a mixed drink cooking show soon evolved  into an outlet for them and their friends to do  

Basically whatever they wanted to do this crew  quickly gained a reputation for pushing boundaries   their fifth episode notoriously had a segment  in which J&B display played a photo of a woman   pooping into a man’s mouth their 59th episode Jay  and B get baked attracted the attention of media  

Giants like MTV and Howard Stern when they smoked  weed in front of the Monroe County Courthouse but   their pioneering move was yet to come in 1995  rocks jumped into Uncharted Territory becoming   the first TV series to be distributed on the  internet kicking off the very beginning of  

A new era in television after breaking ground  on the internet though life Drew J&B away from   Bloomington and the show’s frequency decreased but  their legacy wouldn’t fade in what could either be   a subtle nod or pure coincidence The Rock’s name  can be seen here on the waynesworld 2 DVD menu  

And in 2013 the mayor of Bloomington declared July  7th as National rocks day their last installment   of rocks was episode 100 in 2019 it’s a poignant  Milestone a reunion a montage of memories with   friends and one last round of drinks from Jay the  bartender but the story is far from over Bart was  

Kind enough to speak with me and confirmed that  the show will never really stop they’ll continue   making new episodes whenever they can and he  even mentioned he’d like to pass the torch   to his daughter one day if she’s interested  no one could have guessed that a streaking  

Incident would lead some friends to change the  television landscape forever but that’s exactly   what happened Glendora believes there is nobody  like you you were born with a set of talents for   a specific role that no one else can do and in  1952 she realized her role was in television she  

Started the first decade of her career hosting  children shows but when Glendora was let go in   1962 she took a 10-year Hiatus from television to  do some soul searching and returned with her talk   show a chat with Glendora with a profound sense  of purpose she dedicated her life to Public Access  

Television sharing jokes and advice on happiness  battling for free speech in court against cable   companies and meticulously documenting literally  everything as if it were her Duty glendora’s love   for life and the Art of capturing it on video is  so moving when she puts a fresh videotape into her  

Camcorder she Whispers to it I love you I love you  I love you Glendora has been an everpresent staple   of Public Access television after six decades in  the business she holds the record for the longest   running Public Access TV program at 94 years old  she has produced over 14,000 episodes and she’s  

Still going if you released a new TV episode  every day it would take over 39 years to to   catch up to Glendora one of her latest episodes  from October features her singing hymns talking   about cats and dogs available at a local Humane  Society asking about what Tik Tok is and sharing  

New jokes she wrote Glendora is a shining example  of someone who found their calling and pursued it   with unstoppable Joy if you ever want to sit  down and have a chat with Glendora she has   preserved thousands of her episodes on her YouTube  channel and there’s a great documentary about her  

On Vimeo called a chat with Glendora homeless in  Denton featured two college kids pretending to   be homeless Story Goes they found a camera in a  dumpster one day and started filming their daily   lives as they roam around Denton Texas drinking  and looking around for free or cheap food they’d  

Usually happily resort to eating spoiled food off  of the street or in dumpsters and celebrating that   it’s still good it’s still good it’s still good  if they were looking for bargains they could have   just walked down the street to the price Master’s  yard sale in episode one they go to a gas station  

For food and dump a bunch of of condiments in  a plastic bag and eat it like chili you’ll also   see moments of them dumpster diving finding an  unopened package of raw chicken and Grilling it  

In an Alleyway with a candle lighter dirty is the  only word that comes to mind right now I just want   there to be a scene of them thoroughly washing  their hands their dirty Antics match their dirty   language almost every other word of dialogue is  bleeped in the series finale they accidentally  

Find themselves in Japan after wandering around  for a while they can’t find any more beer so they   swim back to America but in real life it sounds  like one of them stayed back back in Japan and   that’s likely the reason the show ended he found  his Niche on YouTube posting vulgar and alcohol  

Fueled Japanese lessons to a lot of success today  he co-hosts a podcast fittingly called dumpster   talk and he swears more now than he did back in  Denton in 1997 Seattle’s late night landscape   was lit up by the bong hit championships every  Friday night Mark and Izzy challenged viewers to  

Call in and see who can take the longest  RP from a bong fire away for Justin here yeah the people calling in to throw their hat  in the ring are taking it about as serious as   you can take anything when you’re totally baked  4.47 seconds Billy Joe Bob’s in the lead yeah  

Oh that’s what I like to see and Mark and Izzy  are the perfect hosts for this just a couple of   giggling goofballs in Shades and tie-dye shirts  maybe as a way to recruit more Challengers Mark  

Even has a segment when he’s in a park teaching  viewers at home had a pack and hit a bong and I   can’t imagine how instrumental this was for the  locals feels like this is what Public Access is  

Meant to be plus the interactive element of  the show was way ahead of its time proving   once again how Innovative stoners can be I don’t  know if any streamers are doing something like   this nowadays but I think holding weekly bong  hit competitions would crush on Tik Tok live  

These clips are raw Insanity distilled to its  simplest form in Terrytown New York during the   mid 80s Channel 6 would air a small ction of  absurdest vignettes the most popular one known   as what’s your problem shows a man trying to eat  a fish that keeps getting pulled away from his  

Plate this frustrates him as he argues with the  voice of a man who keeps repeating trying to eat   a fish for dinner wrong you there’s nothing wrong  with me wrong with you for more than a decade this   three minute repetitive clip was all that was  available online but thanks to the Lost media  

Legend himself blame it on Jorge who discussed  what’s your problem in a video the Lost media   Wiki team started hunting for more info about this  short clip and got a response from the community   television station in Pittsfield Massachusetts in  an email the station’s team explained that what’s  

Your problem was one of several sketches that were  brought over from Terrytown to pctv by Garrett   McCary when he started working there in 1988 they  said the skit was played in a fashion similar to   the national anthem wood to end production for  the week when they stopped airing it what’s your  

Problem was preserved in their digital archive  along with four other sketches previously unknown   to the digital world which were finally published  to YouTube these newly Unearthed videos are just   as unhinged after what’s your problem comes a  clown who seems trapped in a tiny Funhouse room  

Pulling dangling levers while a voice shares  incoherent philosophical questions and phrases   only for the clown to respond each time with  well yeah but then there’s a man standing in   front of a wall that reads on off onof wearing  a shirt with the same pattern he holds up random  

Objects while laughing and maniacally repeating  are we having fun yet after that a man reads the   newspaper then starts singing that he’s angry  at the universe there’s an art installation of   a planet behind him that explodes and finally  a closeup of a man’s face who’s angrily saying  

He doesn’t like the dark black things on his face  anymore then he shaves his beard they say insanity   is doing the same thing over and over again  I don’t know who they are but they must have   seen all these videos think of the most paranoid  conspiracy theorist you know but imagine if he  

Also might actually be on to something beginning  in 1993 New York City was blessed or maybe cursed   with the Rants and reflections of Rick little a  phone newsman who took to the streets of the East   Village camera in hand capturing the world as  he saw it Rick’s mission was to spread the good  

Word of his new religion the Church of shooting  yourself I’m relieved to say it’s not as morbid   as it sounds this church believes that God exists  but the big guys got a packed calendar with all   that you know ruling over the whole universe  thing then come [ __ ] poop so God doesn’t have  

Time to micromanage our every little mistake Rick  wants us to all alleviate that burden from God and   recommends recording yourself at all times so that  at the end of the day you can review everything   you did and punish yourself for any wrongdoing you  may have done so film yourself then rewatch repent  

Repeat give God a break and maybe you’ll catch a  break at the Pearly Gates and I actually like this   idea he’s just saying we should hold ourselves  accountable for our action it’s not such a crazy   concept it’s just packaged in a crazy way maybe  spreading the idea of self-governance was where  

Rick’s motives started but he also offered  a gritty on the ground glimpse into New York   during what he dubbed the police state of the  Giuliani era capturing intense scenes like this   one where a literal Army of 100 cops converges  to arrest a single man the show is sometimes  

A straightforward man on- the street documentary  like this but a lot of it is also totally erratic   the Church of shooting yourself above all else is  a character study of an unreliable narrator who   goes on crazy delusional ramblings and then edits  them together in equally crazy ways which means  

It’s hard to tell how much of Rick’s show is free  form artistic expression or an unfiltered look at   a person suffering from a form of mania only a  handful of Rick’s episodes are accessible online   but if he’s practicing what he preaches of filming  yourself every day I can’t even fathom the Decades  

Of footage he must have of himself roaming the  streets of New York City sharing his unorthodox   philosophies like he could very well be one of the  most well-documented humans to ever live guiding   us through this post-apocalyptic tutorial is  a chain smoking bucket hat sporting Survival  

Man on Winnipeg Canada’s Public Access cable  show survival there will be radiation he may   sound aggressive and paranoid but beneath that  full face mask and grally voice is an optimist   things won’t be so bad after armor eddon according  to these folks you’d have to be pretty stupid not  

To want to survive and live in that beautiful  radiated Garden of Eden that will be living in   after cataclysm armed with unorthodox doomsday  life hacks Survival Man reminds viewers to stock   up on freeze-dried food and that if you ever  need food you can eat your pet it’s just going  

To come down to planning ahead preparation is key  to surviving cataclysm this show from the mid 80s   that was meant to help us survive the apocalypse  didn’t quite survive the test of time apparently   the original Arch of survival was destroyed  and a 10-minute clip is all that’s found of  

Its three-year run it’s a pretty funny video and  if it’s the sole survivor from survival it’ll   have to sustain us cooking with the hook was a  public access cooking show hosted by two metal   heads Tom and Steve who were whipping up lowii  culinary television from inside their crammed  

New York City Apartment I have a theory that  their goal was to make the loudest cooking show   of all time they’re talking over each other right  here I have almond milk talking over all the loud appliances friends are off camera chatting and  cranking up the stereo there’s even a drummer  

Tucked way back there and this kitchen layout  is just not sensible for television but that’s   part of why I love all of this they keep  urging viewers to call in but they never   seem to take any calls Tom keeps bringing the  food closer to the camera so the viewers at  

Home can smell it they say we’ll be right  back after these messages and then it just   stays with them we’ll be back with more  cooking with the hook but we’re going to   be back after these messages which leads to  some funny on air bickering about the show

Runtime why do that that wasn’t me you [ __ ] so  we’re back we’re more cooking with the hook the H   but through it all the energy is always dialed up  to 11 their Anthem repeated like a battlecry and   that’s what I call cooking with the it’s silly  and unpolished and it’s the realest depiction  

I’ve seen from a cooking show of just going over  to hang out with friends while they make dinner   for everybody it’s the Mumble core of cooking  shows there’s a Fourth of July episode with   Tom and Steve cooking on a rooftop surrounded  by friends Good Vibes and for some reason an  

Elvis impersonator and when Steve squeezes some  lemons The Crowd Goes Wild I feel like I’m not   even watching a TV show I’m watching home videos  of the coolest dinner parties from the 9s and I’ll   take cooking with these guys over a polished  cooking show any day never underestimate the  

Butterfly effect of a tiny Public Access show in  Upstate New York Klay Tiffany was an independent   journalist and The Fearless host of durge for the  charlatans and between us I’m pretty sure he’s   the inspiration behind Dr Steve Brule notorious  for being a thorn in the side of local officials  

And law enforcement clay Tiffany would probe into  corrupt politicians and dirty cops then broadcast   his findings on his Public Access show but with  this Fame came enemies in powerful places one   being briercliff police officer SL bodybuilder  Nicholas taragon who in 1997 pulled Klay Tiffany  

Over warned him to stop looking into the police  department said he has ties with the mob then   physically assaulted the TV host obviously this  led clay to delve further into the cop and so   began a long-standing feud between the two Tiffany  dug into his past and found that taragon had a  

History of assault in his time as a police officer  Klay Tiffany would slam him and the B PD on durge   for the charlatans and in retaliation taragon  would find him and beat him up this happens at   least four times with the last confrontation  putting clay in the hospital he would host the  

Next episode from his hospital bed clay sued the  police department winning a big settlement but   taragon was never charged or found guilty of a  crime until this story goes somewhere I never   could have predicted clay Tiffany passed away in  March 2015 of natural causes and the following in  

Year Nicholas taragon was arrested after luring  four men to a bar then torturing and strangling   one of them to death with a zip tie for stealing  drug money from him then he and an accomplice   took the rest of the men into the woods nearby  and shot them execution style burying them in a  

Mass grave taragon now facing a life sentence has  been behind bars since his arrest where in 2019   he was the last person to share a prison cell with  Jeffrey Epstein taragon would be the one to alert   prison guards of Epstein’s suicide attempt this  little Public Access show intertwines itself all  

The way up to Jeffrey Epstein for those that want  to dive deeper there’s a historian who’s Gathering   hundreds of hours of content for an upcoming  podcast titled the legend of clay Tiffany there’s   not a lot of information beyond that but godamn  am I eager to hear more about this one by all  

Accounts we should not be aware of the existence  of this show let me explain this mysterious   collection of distorted animations was first  found by the Obscure media community on Reddit   known only as pink morning cartoon it had quietly  existed online for a decade and had less than 600  

Views this thing was pulled from the deep recesses  of the internet pink morning cartoon became a bit   of a roar Shack inklot test for some the grainy  visuals held a soothing innocent charm for others   they sensed evil undertones deep within the warm  illustrations and haunting Melodies and some  

Questioned its realness altogether wondering if it  was just a modern artist’s attempt to manufacture   Nostalgia so the debate over its Origins began was  this an obscure piece of old television or a total   con the mystery was cleared up thanks to user team  Alice 115 Who provided the context this man hunt  

Was looking for this was no hoax it was heartfelt  artwork made by their grandmother between 1998 and   2006 Ella flowers made Many religious and Musical  programs in Columbus Ohio including pink morning   cartoon or its real name Kids Fun Festival this  gave satisfying closure to enthusiasts of obscure  

Media made all the more meaningful because it was  the granddaughter who connected the dots she let   everyone know though that her grandmother passed  away in 2017 and the original tapes of the show   disappeared believed to be stolen by a relative  pink morning cartoon should have remained in  

Obscurity but Against All Odds it’s given us a  cool reminder that art can carve a legacy of its   own in the unlikeliest of places Wilbur’s travels  is Bob Ross on Wheels this is fantastic in Wilbur  

Was a man in his ’90s who had spent his retirement  traveling all around the world despite losing his   driver’s license Wilbur still enjoyed exploring  the countryside on his trusty scooter capturing   the scenery with a handheld camera here’s a clip  of Wilbur visiting the Redwood Forest it’s it’s  

Incredible I’m going to drive through this tree I  think you’re going to oh I’m going to get through   there oh sure driveth through tree look at the  size of that huh oh no I’ll make it whatever scrap  

No a you’re scraping over here okay I’m going  to scratch your right side all right thank you   I got through it what do you know about that with  this big car hitting something with your car is at  

The top of a list of things that’ll ruin vacation  for just about anybody but not Wilbur what do you   know about that what do you know about that what  do you know about that what do you know about that  

What do you know about that what do you know about  that what do you know about that what do you know   about that what do you know about that what do  you know about that what do you know about that  

Huh what do you know about that what do you know  about that what do you know about that what do you   know about that what do you know about that what  do you know about that what do you know about that  

What do you know about that what do you know about  that he’s very encouraging of others traveling and   recording their adventures and is willing to  explain exactly how to do that in the type of   excruciating detail any loving grandparent would  give see look around turn the camera you don’t  

Look right or left you let the camera do that cuz  you got to keep your eyes on the road and get out   there and do it cuz I’m sure enjoying my life  what I have left now that I’m riding around on a  

Scooter and believe it or not I’m taking pictures  on a scooter also I’ll get you know I’m so excited   about this here I’m getting Tongue Tied trying to  get you to understand what I’m doing and what I’m  

Having my fun with the rest of my life I hope I  got few more years to go yet I hope you guys will   understand what I’m trying to say and get out  there and do the same thing I did for it’s too  

Late for you to do so so you can enjoy yourself  this is just a gentle old soul scooting around   revisiting old memories everything big and small  is awe inspiring look at that tree there and all  

The branches that come out of it and you glance  over here and look at that tree how the branches   grew on that it looks like a slingshot and there’s  another tree over there it looks like a slingshot  

How about that huh you are so right Wilbur thank  you for pointing that out this sweet old lady is   known only as the public access puppet lady she  hosted a Christian puppet show at what looks like  

A community pool the kids are being bribed with  donuts to sit and watch but that payment isn’t   enough apparently oh time so sit nice in a row  my that is a tough one it’s so easy to tell lies  

To get out of a tough situation I know people are  going to crap on her voice acting but that puppet   couldn’t sound any other way there’s another video  of her singing Christian hymns search my heart Youth Lagoon live on kex the real scene stealer  though is her MVP of a husband quietly sitting  

By her side his love and support for her  absolutely radiates through this footage   unfortunately besides these short clips and a  photo I don’t think we have any information on   who she is or where and when these aired it’s  all veiled in public access obscurity which  

Is possibly why this small batch of content has  pequ the internet’s interest so much long before   jigsaw made torturous puppets popular this evil  ventriloquist dummy was torturing residents of   Cleveland on public access television with his  video collages of horror the Asylum for shuttin  

Is an experimental horror show where the monster  is the filmmaker thems and their weapon of choice   isn’t an axe or a chainsaw it’s a video and the  victim is you this show was hosted by the Doctor  

Who puts a montage of Madness in front of you and  like any good therapist would forces you to look   deep within and ask yourself how does this make  you feel the answer for most was discomfort the   thought of watching these episodes all the way  through is an endurance challenge not for the  

Faint of heart and definitely not for anyone with  epilepsy the true horror doesn’t come from the   disturbing Clips alone it’s the way they’re cut  together it’s a machine gun barrage of dread that   attacks our senses through repeated exposure  it’s all clearly done by someone who knows  

What the hell they’re doing with video editing  and uses their talents for evil the Mad genius   behind the doctor is Ted zbozen who’s been in  the film making business for over 20 years making   everything from music videos to PBS documentaries  to TV commercials Ted don’t you think the city  

Of Cleveland has suffered enough but nothing will  stop a true professional from flexing their skills   and Ted used the doctor as a creative outlet for  his love of found footage and inflicting Panic on   others Public Access is for everyone but should  it be Tom Meer was a former Klux Clan member and  

The figurehead of the white Aryan resistance who  used public access to broadcast his program race   and reason I won’t regurgitate his awful beliefs  but the main takeaways I have from Tom is that   he’s big on separationism he envisioned America  collapsing within 50 years and believed there’s  

No way all Races can live together in peace he  was proudly racist and believed violence was one   of the best ways to enact his agenda cable access  stations weren’t down for allowing an extremist   to use their facilities to spread hate but there  are rules requiring them to offer access to local  

Residents and Tom leveraged those requirements to  spread his dangerous views Meer filmed around 150   episodes of race and reason and would send tapes  of the show to KKK members across the country to   have them distribute it in their local area as  well according to a really interesting paper I  

Read a member of the KKK in Kansas City tried to  put race and reason on his local public access   Channel but the city council quickly changed  the Channel’s designation from public access   to Community Access which gave them the ability  to reject extremist programs this didn’t work for  

Long as the KKK sued the Kansas City Council  forcing them to reinstate the channel back to   Public Access only 7 months later race and reason  was an example of the paradoxical nature of Public   Access television how do we manage a public forum  meant for the whole Community including those who  

Want to divide it as time went on Tom and the  white Aryan resistance violent rhetoric would   only get worse a few years later in 1988 Tom’s  son was on an Infamous episode of the Al Aldo   show to discuss race when a fight ensues and  Heraldo rivero’s nose is broken earlier that  

Same year an Ethiopian man was murdered by three  skin heads affiliated with war Tom declared these   killers were doing their quote unquote civic  duty Tom was found liable and was ordered to   make payments to the victim’s family until the  day he died on November 4th 2020 1 day after the  

2020 election it was a close call but Tom lived  just long enough to see the rejection of the very   divisiveness he championed if there’s two things  we know about this elderly gentleman it’s that   he’s got a love for the Bible and he’s got love  for these two giant stuffed animals Peter and  

Tweeter this is one of the more mysterious Public  Access TV shows because this two-minute snippet   is all we’ve got the man excitedly tells his two  friends that they have a new show he says they’ll   be talking about things in the Bible that are hard  to understand then he reads from a pamphlet about  

God that he was handing out to pedestrians earlier  it leaves us with so many questions it’s referred   to online as the Peter and twe twwiter show but  do we actually know that’s the name of the program  

Are there more episodes does he think Peter and  Twitter are real is he keeping Peter and Twitter   in the studio between episodes or does he bring  them home with him does he have more life-sized   dolls why does it look like Tweeter has blood  stains around his mouth the clip has less than  

10,000 views but there are some good comments on  there that capture our Collective bewilderment you   know you’re forever alone when the guests on your  show are two stuffed animals I’m really tempted to   put the Twin Peaks theme over this this is Eerie  weird depressing and wholesome all at the same  

Time it seems like this was recorded in Vermont  based on his story about talking with people on   Church Street in Burlington which means the Peter  and Tweeter show possibly took place in the same   room as death’s head theater AKA goth Public  Access if the Flat Earth movement has never  

Appealed to you but you don’t really believe the  world is round either let me introduce a third   option do DEA hadrin earthers ancient Secrets was  an intriguing three-part Public Access series down   under in Australia it discussed the discovery of  a global grid system based on Ancient Traditions  

UFO sightings and energy anomalies if you’ve  ever like hosted a party and had that one guy   stay way too long and show you weird conspiracy  theory YouTube videos at 4 a.m this is that the   presenters talk about an energy Matrix that was  built into the structure of the earth suggesting  

That Earth began as a giant 12-sided Crystal  they proposed that ancient civilizations tapped   into Earth’s biomagnetic field where the grid  lines connect these sacred sites function as   Earth’s acupuncture points and are described  as some kind of dimensional switch points of  

Communication that were used by the gods of old  who came to these areas to teach and help Humanity   so planning your next holiday you got to get down  to one of these acupuncture points because that’s  

Where all the action is as always for my Iceberg  videos I save anything with a Content warning for   this final tier not every entry from here on out  is disturbing but if you’d like to avoid any of  

The things you see on screen now would be a good  time to change to a different video thank you for   watching up to this point Frank Moore is the naked  quadriplegic host of the Berkeley Public Access   show Frank Moore’s unlimited possibilities where  anything is possible including the possibility  

That you’ve just joined a sex cult Frank Moore  had cerebral paly and was unable to speak or   use his hands so he communicated using a laser  pointer attached to a headband and a letter board   despite his physical challenges was regarded by  his followers as a shaman of the erotic arts and  

Was what he called a sex magician his Public  Access show was known for its erotic rituals   that encouraged audience participation and to  me the line here between free-spirited art and   something more manipulative was very blurry  the Berkeley Public Access television board  

Tried repeatedly to pull the plug on the show but  after a year-long fight the ACLU got involved and   Moore’s show continued airing uncensored after  10 p.m. Beyond his Public Access show Frank Moore   ran for president in 2008 and hosted monthly  Gatherings called risk for deep love something  

Is way off about these most people here were  brought by someone or saw a flyer and showed   up without really knowing what it was about as the  night goes on Frank would request different people   to undress one another which some attendees seemed  unprepared for and immediately gives off sex cold  

Vibes it feels like his followers tricked a bunch  of college students into taking their clothes off   and Performing sexual acts for him after Frank  Moore passed away his followers made a docu   series as a celebration of his life’s work but  all it did was give me a clearer understanding  

That yes this is definitely a cult why am I so  certain because they literally call it a cult   a cult leader always with Big Ideas the sexual  exploitation becomes clearer too in episode four   of the docu series a narrator reads from a book  written by Frank describing private performances  

He organized with individual women as a way  for them to regain the magical power of doing   art saying it is something that has to be done  something you may not even want to do so exploring   Frank Moore’s work left me with more questions  than answers and I also think it left me with  

A computer virus okay this one is about as not  safe for Life As It Gets Joy Junction was a kids   Christian show in the80s set within the fictional  Village of Joy Junction where children would   participate in games challenges and singing all  while learning lessons from the Bible aside from  

The over-the-top religious themes there’s nothing  about the show that one might consider Insidious   or anything the controversy here lies with the  show’s puppeteer Ronald Brown along with being   one of the main cast members of Joy Junction Brown  was very involved with his local Church community  

He was known for putting on weekly puppet shows  around the area including in schools he’d also   host children at his home for pizza parties every  Wednesday but that all Came Crashing Down in 2013   as brown was arrested and charged with possession  of child pornography when investigators searched  

His home what they found was absolutely horrific  a CD found in his bedroom dresser sock drawer   included child pornography graphy images of what  appeared to be deceased children and a missing   child flyer on his computer were more things  that I’m just not even comfortable saying out  

Loud looking into his internet history Brown  was very active in chat rooms discussing his   fantasies of abusing cooking and eating children  he spoke of his intentions in the most graphic of   details these transcripts show that brown even had  a specific boy in mind for these fantasies who he  

Knew from his church some disturbing signs were  present all the way back in 1998 when Brown was   pulled over for a traffic violation and the  cop noticed a pair of boys underwear in his   car he was L off after claiming they were first  puppets there’s also comments Brown made on Joy  

Junction that hint at his dark desires they were  looking at some dirty pictures and they wouldn’t   need to look too Ronald Brown was sentenced to  20 years in prison and is prohibited from seeing   miners or using a computer with online services  Joy Junction was on the air for decades and after  

The news of Brown’s case spread most of the show  has disappeared besides a few surviving episodes   and clips uploaded to YouTube this show proudly  claimed the title of the most offensive cable   television show in Rochester’s history this  was life without shame Tom and Ed visit strip  

Clubs and hold really distasteful events one being  the bum Olympics pitting homeless people against   each other for a bottle of liquor with challenges  ranging from deliver the most convincing begging   speech to pretend to have sex with a blowup  doll from the episodes I could find it’s all  

Chock full of vulgar Behavior and nudity which  explains this redditor’s comment saying my mom   cancelled cable because she caught me watching it  once their mom wasn’t the only one pissed off one   group encouraged everyone to cancel their cable  subscriptions too until the show was shut down and  

Even staged protests in front of a local pizzeria  that was a sponsor for the show life without shame   received a lot of valid backlash specifically for  the hosts nasty comments about rape and domestic   violence towards women and children when asked  about this Tom said the show was just for fun  

And that if someone perceived it as degrading to  women that’s their opinion Tom and Ed would go   on to tell viewers that if they see any of these  group members out on the streets to spit in their  

Faces so yeah not exactly the kind of guys we  want leading the charge on anti-censorship but the   fact is life without shame became a catalyst for  some groundbreaking legal battles on the decency   standards of cable television in 1997 Time Warner  Communications banned an episode of Life Without  

Shame from airing and banned Tom for 6 months  from submitting more episodes which then led to   a us district judge ruling that Time Warner was  allowed to ban episodes that were deemed indecent   but only on a case-by Case basis this meant that  show producers themselves couldn’t be banned just  

The individual episodes life without shame was  shortlived from there after the court ruling   lifted Tom’s suspension ongoing episode bands led  to the inevitable demise of the show in 1999 the   Jerry jur Show was a late night program where  citizens of Connecticut witnessed the fury of  

Jerry Jer mclen a man of many names Jerry Jer or  the senator or chain face but he was most often   known as the infamous tampon man a title he wore  as prominently as the feminine pad he displayed  

On his forehead like a crown this dude had it  out for everybody from the late ’90s to early   2000s Jerry Jer would wreak havoc on Connecticut  television screens with his offensive and vulgar   rants which were cataloged in a segment he dubbed  his top 10 Die list this man’s rage knew no bounds  

From women the mentally disabled Miss Elliot even  the NHL if it’s confusing where Jerry jer’s temper   came from he has a clear explanation [ __ ] want  to know why I’m so angry you would be angry too   if you have banario worse [ __ ] the tampon man  would also rant about all the people he wanted  

To have sex with ranging from Mother Teresa to  10-year-old girls and all of this was above board   for Public Access when asked about the Jerry jur  Show cable vision’s director of government Affairs   said this being America where the Constitution  protects even the gross and the idiots the gross  

And the idiots are allowed on public access too  the tampon man’s onair wrath was stopped in 1996   though when he brought on a nude stripper to his  show prompting WFA TV to suspend the program but  

He was able to get back on the air under a court  approved settlement as one of the most infamous   names in Public Access TV Jim spag was the host  of the controversial program Jim spags sex show   running this call-in cable program through  the ’90s Jim’s mission was to show the people  

Of Portland that nudity is not dirty and that  people are too busy and too serious his method   was to make a public access show with lots of  uncensored nudity and many times it was just  

Jim on there alone dancing around with no clothes  on and let me tell you this guy has a huge list of   catchphrases he likes to use it was very brave  of Jim to put his full name on this show Tyler  

Perry style because a lot of parents in the area  were not happy about Jim Spa’s sex show airing   during the day Portland City Council also wasn’t  a fan constantly looking for ways they could get  

It off the air the president of the city council  even suggested they make a brand new law just to   take down Spa’s show but our nudest host didn’t  back down he would defend his program at Town Hall   meetings saying what he was doing was artistic  expression and perfectly legal shedding the stigma  

Around nudity was obviously very important to Jim  but he wasn’t just a nudist with a TV show he also   created the world’s largest religion According to  Jim Jim spags Humanity School of understanding is   the world’s largest religion as it considers all  human beings to be ITS m members but after being  

On air for 11 years Jim really did it this time  when he pooped on live television this was enough   for Portland cable access to suspend him for  a year although they say the official reason   was because of a copyright infringement during  his suspension Jim made an explanation video why  

I crapped on TV saying he didn’t do it for shock  value he admits it’s strange and could be seen as   bad taste but Everybody Poops it’s normal everyday  stuff and shouldn’t be something we’re embarrassed  

About in May of 2004 Jim spag passed away way at  the age of 64 while in the middle of a run for   mayor of Portland even in death he bagged several  hundred votes the world wasn’t prepared for the   violent voice of Jonathan Bell affectionately  dubbed the screaming boy an Evangelical Manchild  

Preaching like his audience is standing across  a busy intersection I mean wake up and few there   be that find it few you know our system is corrupt  if you don’t want it then turn the chel Terminator  

2 singles meeting in a church I mean come on I  couldn’t even open my mouth help you know there’s   a young person watching me Kevin I’m talking to  you right now you know who you are you’re going to  

Hell The Gospel According to Jonathan Bell was an  explosive combo of loud proclamations about Jesus   dire warnings about hell and most of all rants  about his stolen car someone stole my car 2 weeks   ago I swear there are times when the video quality  looks like it’s deteriorating through the power of  

His high pitch squeals B I’m going to kill you and  you’re not going to preach the word well I got the   news for you devil Belle gave up his career as a  quote unquote top 10 hairdresser in Canada trading  

Scissors for scriptures to come to Dallas in early  1992 with a vision from God to start a television   Ministry and also build a Christian Boys Ranch for  abused children Jonathan Bell did only two shows   for Dallas Public Access cable but that’s all it  took for his Sonic Onslaught to give us permanent  

Hearing loss even with his public speaking  abilities I don’t know if Bell was qualified to   preach what is right and wrong Publications hinted  at Jonathan Bell’s running with the law before his   time on television which included pretty serious  allegations of financial exploitation abuse and  

Attempted murder the televangelist gig didn’t  work out for Bell and he returned to Canada and   his career as a hair stylist not long after though  his past caught up with him Bell was arrested and   faced 11 charges related to sexual molestation  spanning two decades in 1997 Olympia Washington  

Was home to a new Public Access dance Extravaganza  dance o dance created by Justin B Wright this live   all ages no talking dance program was started  from a conversation between friends about the   therapeutic effects of dancing the idea became to  just go live and film a celebration of movement  

In all its forms all of its forms Wright struggled  marketing the show to other dancers and there were   episodes with only one guest dancing for an hour  but whether there were three dancers or 30 the   party lived on airing monthly for over two decades  and honestly it’s a fun atmosphere it maintained  

Its Retro 9s charm so well that when watching more  episodes it was startling to hear modern hits like   Call Me Maybe and seeing a smartphone besides  those things nothing else was startling the wide   range of experience on the Dance Floor gave it an  inviting Carefree Ambiance Justin even mentions  

That once people started showing up they would  dance no matter what was playing or even dance   in silence it’s a feel good party for everyone  nothing disturbing could possibly come out of this   yet every episode I would be so thrown off by the  first few seconds of the show’s intro what what is

This why is the video tape from The Ring kicking  off a dance party I had to look deeper and I found so the Dano dance Creator Shar shares on  YouTube how as a college student he was inspired  

By the art of b a diverse form of Japanese theater  featuring grotesque imagery taboo themes and slow   controlled movements he’s uploaded many videos  like this one a b Mother’s Day performance which   has likely cast a curse on me and all those  who have watched it listen I fully respect this  

Artistic expression it’s an intense art form meant  to evoke a deep emotional response and that’s what   I got I’m just asking does this fit as the very  first impression for an upbeat all ages dance show  

I’ve had to work up the courage to watch these  videos again to write this script and now I am   dreading the thought of revisiting them to edit  this video I’m so sorry future Joey I don’t feel  

So good I imagine it’s there to validate the ethos  of Dano dance that dance is a powerful way of   expressing all human emotions including queasiness  shocking gory zexual funny and scary those were   the words used to advertise Zex talk Columbus  Ohio’s Public Access station was for forever  

Changed in 1992 when it introduced the world to  the provocative Damon X dressed in white face   paint black lipstick and a priest outfit Damon  zeex feels like a character out of a demented   Charlie Chaplan film but this is no silent picture  zeex would say some of the craziest things you’ve  

Ever heard while sweet bosan NOA Tunes play in the  background some of the only lines I’ll be able to   repeat on here are God could be walking in between  your butt cheeks before you take a dump get high  

Or die and everybody shits for sex from there it’s  in endless well of bizarre and maob footage eating   tampon blood hypnotism candy cane dildos mind  expansion through chemical abuse eating babies and   [ __ ] for drugs watch him snort cocaine off of  his vampire girlfriend’s ass he tell viewers that  

God likes to watch you poop in your friend’s mouth  and demand viewers to do awful things like fondal   your pets even bribing viewers with $10,000 to  commit beastiality Z talk was shock value to the   Max and those who expressed anger at his show were  only only falling into his trap Damon really got  

Off on the outrage showcasing angry testimonials  about his show on his show only to prove that he   was truly the master provocator after ze’s talk  Damon’s life would take an even darker turn as   of 2021 Damon was a loone officer in Maryland  if there’s a show you expected to be in here  

That I missed please let me know in the comments  there’s also a few public access shows I didn’t   include in here like one of my all-time favorites  the price Master because we already talked about   them in last Iceberg which you can check out  here along with a bunch of other TV shows that  

Should not exist for one reason or another maybe  because they’re really bad or unethical or it’s   a miracle they were made at all and while you  consider clicking that I just want to say thank   you for watching if you liked this I hope you  subscribe and thank you to my YouTube members  

For helping support my channel I’ll see you in  the other video let’s do this again sometime
