Jesse Duke

he's like he's gonna take care of him but then they get delivered to their uncle who's another old guy and at that moment i was like this movie is literally about two children that have just gone from hand to hand to hand between like six old white dudes in their 70s like that's their that's been their entire experience

in this movie the uncle by the way is was on the Andy Griffith show in several episodes Jesse Duke and the Dukes of Hazzard and but when he comes on screen because we're like these are supposed to be like these evolved aliens or whatever I'm like why do we have this out of shape dude with a beer gut I feel like we should have like a Nordic showing up or something you know

Well, honestly, that's what I was getting.

I was getting vibes of, like, the old Hyperborean, like, almost Thule society where, like, these Nordic ancient aliens that were superior and had all these abilities, they came here from the north and then just slowly, I guess, you know, merged with people until all of their powers were gone.

So we're gonna jump back to February 22nd, 1980, for the Return of the Ridge Raiders.

Uh, in this episode, we got Uncle Jesse acting a little weird, with all of his buddies.

Basically, all the older male elders are acting weird as well.

Turns out they're acting squirrely, and the boys are getting blamed for it.

[clears throat] But the fact that Jesse knows enough to fix a fuel pump on the side of the road, pretty impressive.

Yeah.

I was, uh, [clears throat] I really liked Bo and Luke's, uh, well, I should say Tom and John's acting in this scene, where they're just talking about what Uncle Jesse's up to.

It seemed very natural.

This is why I said he knows it all at the beginning.

4518, when three General A's are running around and they pull over the car that Jesse is driving as he's coming to a stop, you can clearly see that something is on fire in the front of the radiator of the General A. I don't know if they had an issue with this car or if maybe they were trying to simulate a smoking, overheating car.

Now, Cooter did say that one of them had a bad radiator.

This one is on fire.

Hey, y'all.

Hey, Cooter.

Uncle Jesse.

Our old pal Garvey.

Now we have another crazy, kooky Democrat guy.

And his name, he was a lifelong Democrat, longtime Democrat until just recently when he decided he wanted to hold on to power somehow, some way.

His name is Jerry Tillett.

He decided he wanted to be somebody after he was asked to leave by the Democrats for all his ethics problems.

And so he decided he wanted to be a Republican state senator.

Jeremy Tillett is the other male voice audible in the audio.

Now, the audio has been confirmed by The local district attorney, he confirmed that Jerry's voice was in the recording.

His name is Jeff Cruden.

Yeah, Daisy.

I, I, I reckon, I reckon I might be Uncle Jesse.

[laughs]

And a couple of, couple of my people have, have threatened to grow the mo to, to go for the full Burt Reynolds Boss Hogg.

Back at the Duke farm, Daisy is reading Bo the riot act about her car getting dinged up.

Uncle Jesse tells her to settle down because the boys have their own problems to attend to since Boss told everyone they orchestrated the kidnapping, uh, while he's making a home remedy for Luke's eye.

Two, two thoughts from me.

I thought everybody was pretty mean to Daisy.

So now Jesse and Daisy to, uh, decide to stop and reveal the shuck and jive to Roscoe and Enos.

Um, the boys arrive at the stockyards, and as they're sneaking around, Squirt, who's on the roof, does a swan dive off the roof into a water trough, which startles Bubba and Cindy, who quickly decide to skedaddle, and they ram the RV and car out of the barn with Loretta, and the boys give chase in the General, and Squirt is running after them.

So jumping back to Uncle Jesse and Daisy real quick, there's another very clear Uncle Jesse stunt double driving the truck at one point.

Yeah.

Daisy.

Jesse L. Duke.

Uncle Jesse to you.

Daisy.
