had this vhs tape as a teen . it looked interesting at the store and they would not rent it so i bought it . watched it a bunch . its very relaxing somehow . this is a sweet episode .
A John Lurie project so ahead of it’s time. This show is quite possibly the first reality show done during, or leading into the 21st Century: it’s really too bad the onslaught of what’s followed it isn’t a 1/10th as good as this one is.
"5 o'clock!?" Tom is seriously shocked. "...haven't been up at 5 o'clock since I was a little boy." lol....and the "cheese-fish in France". What a scream.
Garrett McClung I’m going to check out Sparklehorse. Those are the first words Alberto says to Tom Waits. Tom waits says it back to him and then tells him to Buzz off.
I couldn't think of a more desirable activity to do with Tom Waits: fishing. The genuine, unique human experiences that come out of fishing. So funny he had such bad things to say about this occasion. Also, this show is a gold mine of a find. Such a unique gem.
@22:16 ....man under the blue blanket, realizes he is "the gear" Tom wants to get ride of! But his shyness overcomes him and he scurries back under his safe blue blanket.
The irony of this episode is that Tom got angry with John, wouldn't speak to him for a period of time. Tom got very sick on this trip. Puked all weekend. All is well now.
I read somewhere that Tom was so mad at John about how this went that he would not talk to him for 2 years. I hope that’s not true, because seeing that side of Tom made me like is eccentric ass even more.
I wonder if it was during this series when John contracted Lyme disease. It ended his career as a musician & actor. Lounge Lizards, Marvin Pontiac. He is a painter now. John Lurie Art. Talented guy.
rafael marchante angulo “A B C!!! A B C!!! ABC D E F G...” (I trust you’ve seen Lynch’s first short film) If not, (and for everybody) google Lynch “Alphabet”. Lol
it didnt even seem like it was entirely unpleasant to him. thought he was enjoying himself quite a bit. guess that's why jarmusch called him a contradictory character
the Fishers of man song- can somebody said is this a real song, or ot was invating by Tom Waits for this moment? I mean, if you can, write the text in a comment plz
i love how Tom's mood goes from "when im in a place like this i can go forever" to "why did you bring me" in no time
Tom is one of my favorite human beings on this cursed earth.
That's an awesome fishing show. The problem with other fishing shows is that they are too polished, too normal. And they don't have enough Tom Waits.
Almost everything goes better with more Tom Waits...
@@fishtolizard3930 ‘When do fish ever get to try the finer cheeses’
@@Boydist1 lol
This soothes my existential unrest
Yes, its like I put a Steven Wright Halloween mask on.
Maybe the least commercial TV show idea I have ever encountered..... enjoyed it.
Somehow I feel like Steven Wright.
This video is superior to the spreadsheet I'm supposed to be doing right now.
"There is nothing like fresh air, with a rod in your hand."
That chick on Tom's shoulder at 13:49 is signaling their cards to the Jamaican players :-D
Oh my god you're super right
'I don't want to let go of such a beautifull breakfest i'd rather hold on to it for a while'
Tom is in such a frisky mood here, I love it.
Low key Fear & Loathing in Jamaica
years ago this show helped me to overcome my social anxiety, make friends and start fishing
thanks, John
"It cant be the same fish, the other one is in my pants" -Tom Fucking Waits

Yes, I agree. I feel like Steven Wright right now. 😊

@@orlandopockets6372 ...true, but what a downer!
@@orlandopockets6372 Nope....Cause the News isn't considered a "show", it's broadcast journalism.
N.E.W.S- Notable Events Weather & Sports
I was thinking that as well. Genius show.
Tom Waits moves likes he's using somebody else's body, one he's paid a rental deposit on and has to return relatively undamaged. Fat chance.
"A game of cards on dry land makes Tom much better"...no waaay
" i can't do it... now we have a relationship " lol
".....when I was in France I caught a lot of cheese fish."
I've never noticed the "Oh my god." when Tom puts the fish down his pants.
"5 o'clock!?" Tom is seriously shocked. "...haven't been up at 5 o'clock since I was a little boy."
lol....and the "cheese-fish in France". What a scream.
It’s so comfy to watch these two...
Tom calls John a troublemaker, playing cards. Tom gets John flustered. Too, too funny.
Interesting to see a fish out of water......... Tom Waits that is.
as an angler i love this it explains everything
It’s a sad and beautiful world.
Sparklehorse?
Garrett McClung Alberto Benini in Down by Law.
@@danlevay5657 Ohh haha okay👌 Haven’t gotten to that movie yet but I wanna. Thats also a sparklehorse song so I was like, “Sparklehorse fan?”👀👀
Garrett McClung I’m going to check out Sparklehorse. Those are the first words Alberto says to Tom Waits. Tom waits says it back to him and then tells him to Buzz off.
Never thought I would be seeing tom waits do something like this

Tom Waits is a grumpy masterpiece
Tom on the cow and ant story: "that's fascinating, John"🤔
"I thought you'd like it."
"Well you were wrong. You're a mess."
ProfCuriosity
This is like if Captain Beefheart decided to make a go of it in Television.
@22:16 ....man under the blue blanket, realizes he is "the gear" Tom wants to get ride of! But his shyness overcomes him and he scurries back under his safe blue blanket.
Life is so beautiful.....for some more than others...
michelle dessert how true
Even the narrator says “Oh my god” when Tom puts the fish in his pants.
"You're a mess.... And you drag me along this safari and i don't know why" LMAO Poor John, had to tolerate Tom's angry child-like moods
How safari do we have to go? nyuk, nyuk, nyuk
I completely forgot about this.
Fishing with John is some primo shit.
I forgot about this show! I remember when I was in college this was showing on World Link TV!
"I'd love a bite of your sandwich"
"I wonder when I had my last tetanus shot"
hahahaha
Ah yes, the well known Ant and Cow Story.
"What do you want to do, Tom?
Errr, be on dry land."
:P
A game of cards on dry land, makes Tom feel much better.
sing with me John;-)
Red snapper. Probably the best tasting fish. Especially when fried with som salt and chili pepper
@6:54 the most beautiful bed of music and so appropriately juxtaposed to the stories being told. #Genius
reminds me of down by law times. what a great adventure!
"...well, I'm not a doctor."
The irony of this episode is that Tom got angry with John, wouldn't speak to him for a period of time. Tom got very sick on this trip. Puked all weekend. All is well now.
Shelly Musgrove what for? Why was he upset?
That's not irony
How often does a fish get a chance to try the finer cheeses?
I once made my goldfish a quesadilla. It sank.
First 'fishing' show I've watched. Loved it. But only here for Tom.
I read somewhere that Tom was so mad at John about how this went that he would not talk to him for 2 years. I hope that’s not true, because seeing that side of Tom made me like is eccentric ass even more.
Now I see where "Comedians in car getting coffee" get their inspiration.
I have my own show, "Derelicts in a Dodge". We don't go anywhere. We just sit in a alley and drink Ripple.
Everyone knows about mood altering effects of a red snapper cradling your gonads.
2 great musicians, 2 great actors
1 minute in... what the hell is this? Haha
This is so quotable. It's amazing.
"I've always been fascinated with the flotsam & jetsam that warsh.....washes up on the beach"
When the voice over guy says "I'd love a bite of your sandwich".
*"COWFISH?"*
...I lost my shit....
“He yells at the crew, they got nothing to eat, along the River of Men”
Tom waits while john is fishing.
Tom Waits was so displeased with his experience filming his episode he didn't speak to John Lurie for two years afterwards.
the food poisoning probably didn't help
really?
@@MrYowen88 saw it from imdb
@@MrYowen88 yup John mentioned it on Conan
Tom is such raw character
thank you for uploading these.
The cow and the ant 😂😂
this is one of the best shows lol
the follow up of down by law
Daniel J. Scotti - you are a good egg
Walt Whitman...in Italian? SMH
‘Down by Fish?’
@@shortaybrown thank yew :D
One of the best things ever filmed
...or videoed... Video Recorded? Regardless, we agree...
I wonder if it was during this series when John contracted Lyme disease. It ended his career as a musician & actor. Lounge Lizards, Marvin Pontiac. He is a painter now. John Lurie Art. Talented guy.
A New York treasure.
9th time...never dull
of course you've watched this xo
That's fascinating John
get that bl - stroke - ood - stroke - running - flow - what a man this Tom Waits is on a boat!
'That's fascinating John.' - pmsl 🤣🤣
Six episodes and a movie.
This is the most confusing piece of film ever captured
Brady Armstrong I like it though
you clearly havent' stumbled upon eraser head
Nightmare baby. Arrggghhhh!.
also amazing. so strange though.
rafael marchante angulo “A B C!!! A B C!!! ABC D E F G...” (I trust you’ve seen Lynch’s first short film) If not, (and for everybody) google Lynch “Alphabet”. Lol
i hear the cheese fish goes well with pinot noir
Jayyyysus that was awesome😆😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
this was truly an experience
I once ate a red snapper, then I caught the crabs... Fisherman's Delight.
Bawdiness!
The cover of this video looks like Hunter S. Thompson and Tom Waits fishing
it didnt even seem like it was entirely unpleasant to him. thought he was enjoying himself quite a bit. guess that's why jarmusch called him a contradictory character
After watching this show, I feel like I'm wearing a Steven Wright Halloween mask.
"Walleyed pike" "chicken fish" man I would love to fish with Tom Waits!
There are fish in the water, but if they're not hungry, there is no way to catch them.
He yells at the crew, they get nothing to eat! Along the river of men :D
4:09 I think Tom just picked up a tortoise turd.
Tomに関西弁って 合ってると思いましたわ
ほんま楽しませて頂きました おーきにですわ
this is bizarre but so entertaining
genial, erinnert mich an eine Situation mit einem guten alten Freund
Ja!
Perfect!!
As creepy as it is, sometimes youtube's algorithm really comes through. Can't believe I never heard of this before.
Ah, fishing.
the Story of the Cow and the Ant is undeniable epic
the Fishers of man song- can somebody said is this a real song, or ot was invating by Tom Waits for this moment? I mean, if you can, write the text in a comment plz
We used to catch chickenfish in Indiana.
めっちゃええやんけ。おおきにな。ただ、釣った魚食ってるとこ見たかったけどな笑
the snapper Tom "caught " is dead as a door nail lol
Yeah that's a Tom Waits boat.
We sail tonight for Singapore...
Let the record show, they were indeed all as mad as hatters here...
I caught a chicken-fish once
I released it
I love fishin' as long as I don't have to eat them :>}
LMFAO tom puts a fish in his pants for safe keeping
