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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
