"That's my brother, Crazy Talk. We're all a little worried about him."

―Casino manager^[src]

Crazy Talk is the brother of the Casino manager and an employee at Caesar's Pow-Wow Casino.

Description

Crazy Talk is involved in casino operations, albeit apparently in a behind-the-scenes fashion. He also seems to be a bit of an eccentric, to the concern of his family—and possibly to the concern of the entire tribe, depending on whom the manager means by "we" when he says, "We're all a little worried about [Crazy Talk]."

In addition to being eccentric, Crazy Talk is also opportunistic, seen in his stealing an idea from fellow employee Dances with Focus Groups. Crazy Talk also sells fireworks on the reservation, to the annoyance (and concern) of the manager. It isn't specified whether this violates any laws or regulations.

History

The casino manager asked Bart to throw a prized item into the fire to see the vision of his future. Bart tossed in a firecracker, which immediately exploded, and the manager protested, "No firecrackers!" Bart countered that he had bought the firecracker on the reservation, to which the manager exasperatedly replied, "That's crazy talk!" Bart insisted it was true, and the manager explained, "That's my brother, Crazy Talk. We're all a little worried about him."

At the end of Bart's vision, there was an advertisement for the casino. When Bart complained about the ad, the manager said that Crazy Talk had put the ad in, but he had stolen the idea from Dances with Focus Groups. It is unclear whether Crazy Talk stole the idea without attempting to take credit for it (which would be consistent with his eccentric personality), or he had tried to claim the credit and been caught out.

Behind the Laughter

Dances with Focus Groups' name is a pun on the 1990 film Dances with Wolves.
