- 1:07of Yours Truly Johnny Dollar The Callicles manor Part one and two from Hollywood.
- 1:14It's time now for Johnny Dollar. This is Robert Ecker, mister Parsons secretary.
- 1:21You telephone this office for an appointment with mister Parson. That's right,
- 1:23I'm an investigator, mister Recker. I was sent here by Eastern Casually and
- 1:26trust we understand David Parsons is missing. I want to talk to mister Parson
- 1:32Senior about it. Oh well, mister Parson Senior isn't in the office.
- 1:36Today's home. Ill. This is pretty important. Mister recker. Maybe I
- 1:38better call him at home. Why don't you come to the office. I'll
- 1:41try to arrange to take you out there. I don't want to be a
- 1:42lot of trouble. It'd be more trouble if I didn't. Tonight and every
- 1:53Weekday Night Bob Bailey and the Transcribed Adventures of the Man with the Action Packed
- 1:57Expensive Coud America's fat freelance insurance Investigator, Yours Truly Johnny Dollar. Expense account
- 2:15submitted by special Investigator Johnny Dollar to the Eastern Casualty and Trust Company, number
- 2:21twenty five Yardly Boulevard, Boston, Massachusetts. The following is an accounting of
- 2:24expenditures during my investigation at the Calicles Matter expense account. Adam won two hundred
- 2:31dollars five cents. Are fair and in Stinatal's heart for the Los Angeles.
- 2:36I arrived at midnight, went straight to the Beverly Hilton, had a good
- 2:38night's sleep, and woke up to an early spring heat wave. By nine
- 2:42o'clock I had placed my call to Parsons Stocks and Bonds. At ten o'clock
- 2:46I met Robert Ecker in person. He was a man about my age with
- 2:50a thin face and good clothes. Judging from his office, the job as
- 2:53secretary was a pretty responsible one. I don't quite understand, is mister dolla,
- 2:58what made you think that mister Parsons Junior is missing? Is he around?
- 3:01Do you mean? Is he in town? Yeah? Is he in
- 3:04town? Is he around? Can I see him? Well? None of
- 3:07us exactly knows where he is, but he's not what you'd call missing.
- 3:10Well, now that depends on how you look at him, mister record,
- 3:14we understand David Parsons hast been seen for ten days? Is my information wrong?
- 3:19Well? No, no, what you say is true. You mean
- 3:22you're here to look into the matter. That's about it? May I say
- 3:24something? Sure? When you're speaking of David Parsons in front of his father,
- 3:29mister Parsons Senior, I suggest that you don't use that word missing.
- 3:32I'll try to remember that the connotation might upset him. I certainly doesn't regard
- 3:37mister Parson's absence in the missing sense. Maybe you can tell me how he
- 3:40does regard it. I'm afraid I can't Miss Parsons Senior doesn't confide in me.
- 3:46How about David Parson's wife? Sorry, how about your own opinion.
- 3:53I'd rather keep my opinions to myself, mister Dollar, nothing personal, but
- 3:58mister Parson's senior is very adamant certain matters. In other words, Uh,
- 4:01mister Parsons Senior does all of the thinking for publication, so to speak.
- 4:06Yes, what concern does the Eastern Casually Interest Company have in this matter?
- 4:13Yeah? What is the bonding company's concerned? One hundred thousand dollars? It
- 4:16was an automatic write up on David Parsons Junior when he entered the firm.
- 4:20I still don't understand. David Parsons had access to great amounts of money and
- 4:26transferable bonds here. That's where we're responsible, mister Recker. Is that an
- 4:30inference? If it sounds like I'm worried that David Parsons might have walked off
- 4:34with some money or some bonds, it's an inference. It's rather ridiculous,
- 4:39isn't it. I don't know whether it is or not, mister Ricker.
- 4:42I regart it that way. Mister Parsons is worth a considerable amount of money.
- 4:46A million dollars would be a conservative estimate of his fortune. His father,
- 4:49of course, is well, mister Parson Senior, Yes, where well,
- 4:53where mister Parson's holding. But sometimes things aren't what they seem, you
- 4:58know what I mean. No, I'm afraid I don't know exactly what you
- 5:00mean, mister Dollar. Well, no, take these, for instance,
- 5:04mister Dollar. Take these, these copies of Eastern Casualti's policies on your desk,
- 5:09mister Recor. Now, let's see you call me about nine. It's
- 5:13a little after ten. Now. That gave you an hour to dig them
- 5:16out, study them over and answer for yourself the exact questions you've been making
- 5:20me answer. Isn't that about it, mister Recor. Yes, yes,
- 5:27I'd say that's just about it, mister Dollar. Robert Ecker drove me out
- 5:31to the Bellair home of David Parsons Senior. On the way, he spoke
- 5:36of the weather, the situation in Algiers, the trouble he had making reservations
- 5:41for wigands and palm springs, and the low fuel consumption of his new Studebaker
- 5:46Golden Hawk he avoided very carefully. And he further mentioned of David Parsons Junior
- 5:49the missing sun. I put a couple of direct questions to him, which
- 5:54he answered indirectly by referring me to mister Parsons Senior. So I let it
- 5:59go at that, Jenny, Jenny, somebody must be around, you,
- 6:06said your phone, I did, Jenny. Oh, hello, hello,
- 6:14Robert. Nobody around, no one so far. It must be upstairs.
- 6:16He's been at it today, called me over here an hour ago. Oh
- 6:20I'm missus Parsons. I'm Johnny Dollar. How do you do? I beg
- 6:24your pardon? You shouldn't, Robert, it was purposeful, Missus Parson.
- 6:27I'm the one you're not supposed to meet, mister Dollar. I'm David's wife.
- 6:30I just received orders from upstairs that this matter will be handled upstairs.
- 6:35Is that so? Oh? Yes, that's quite so. My father in
- 6:39law feels that he has extraordinary competence in this matter, as in all matters.
- 6:44Robert, we'd better get along, mister Dollar. How do you feel?
- 6:47I feel fine. I mean about your father in law handing it.
- 6:50That makes very little difference, mister Dollar. It's my husband who's missing,
- 6:55but his son. You're a policeman or a detective ran in a way.
- 7:00Yes, you look like a very charming man, mister Dollar. Just a
- 7:06moment, mister Parsons, you may have to practice some charm on him.
- 7:12Thank you for the tip, Missus Parsons. It's nice to match you.
- 7:15Good morning rabbits, Good morning, missus Parsons. We better get up there.
- 7:23Roberdecker let me upstairs into a massive bedroom that could only have been decorated
- 7:27for a massive old man, which is exactly what David Parsons Senior turned out
- 7:30to be. Six and a half feet tall. I guess that since he
- 7:33was stretched out in bed. He had a pair of cold black eyes and
- 7:38white hair liberally sprinkled with gray. He spilled a briefcase full of papers and
- 7:42documents off the bed, punched his pillow around and glared hard at me.
- 7:46What's his name? This is mister Dollar, mister Parsons. You see if
- 7:48he had any credentials, No, sir, we'll find out. Mister doll.
- 7:55Here, look these over I looked them over hand them to me.
- 7:59Yes, mister Parson, they could be forgeries. It could be a newspaper
- 8:01reporter or something like that. Go downstairs and use the whole phone. Call
- 8:05this company and see if they have anyone named Johnny Dalla working for them.
- 8:07Hurried up. Yes, wait a minute, a minute, those credentials are
- 8:11genuine. You know what and I know a mister Parson's I'm not waiting around
- 8:15here while you call Boston and talk to someone there. You won't believe either.
- 8:18Now I'm at the Beverly Hilton. You call me when you've made up
- 8:20your mind to talk about this matter, fine, now get out. I
- 8:24got in town last night and contacted your office first thing. I wanted to
- 8:28talk to you about it first for several reasons. One, you're David Parson's
- 8:31father. It's your company, not his, that can be jeopardized in a
- 8:33situation like this. Two, you seem the logical man to see to clear
- 8:37up the matter easily. Now that I've seen you, I'm not so sure
- 8:41of that. I'll have to go to somebody else. Wait a minute,
- 8:45what do you mean go to somebody else? I mean, I'm not going
- 8:46to sit in the hotel room, cooling my heels waiting for you to call
- 8:50me. I have to find out about this. And there are other people
- 8:52that talk to your son's wife, the whole household. They wouldn't let you
- 8:56in the police. If I have to, I'd break you. I'd break
- 8:58you. Then I get pretty mad and both halves of me and figure this
- 9:03thing out. If it took a million years and a million dollars. Ocker,
- 9:05Yes, get out of here. Yes, you've got five minutes.
- 9:15I've got five minutes and ten minutes and a million minutes if I need them.
- 9:20We have a report. Your son's been missing for ten days now.
- 9:22One of our brokers reported it. He happened to be one of your son's
- 9:26clients missing. All right, where is he? How would I know?
- 9:30I take that to mean you don't know. Do you have any ideas?
- 9:33Of course not. Have you had an audit to be a book since he
- 9:35disappeared? What have you had an audit? Is there anything missing? Bonds?
- 9:41Cash in the company? Becker, Becker? Throw this bum out of
- 9:46here and make sure he bounces a couple of times, mister Parson, throw
- 9:48him out. I've got you by a good twenty five pounds. Are Maybe
- 9:52you'd better leave, mister Dollar. I think i'll stay. Oh, if
- 9:54I could get out of this bed, i'd do it. My stanther run
- 9:58along, mister recker, he'll calm down. Wait, you'll leave without throwing
- 10:01them out, and you're fired. Throw them out. I'll wait for you
- 10:05downstairs, all right, shut down? What days today? Friday? It
- 10:15is a week go. Tuesday, David left the house, according to his
- 10:18wife, and that's the last anyone saw him. No word, nothing since
- 10:20then. No police, of course, not no police. I can hear
- 10:24you. I can hear you. Why. You know why as well as
- 10:26I do. An investment brokeer missing? What the papers wouldn't do with that?
- 10:30What's been going on? Nothing? We've been waiting to hear from him.
- 10:33No one's done anything. What is there to do that won't bring out
- 10:35the press? Look, I'm not worried about the press. I'm worried about
- 10:37your son, mister Parsons. Whatever happened to him has had a ten days
- 10:41start and nothing's been done about it. How about the books? What about
- 10:46them? Have you had an audit? Now? Look here, you young,
- 10:50I ask you a simple question. Have you found anything missing? I
- 10:52haven't looked. Where are you going? What you say is true? No
- 10:56one's seen or heard of David Parsons for ten days, and I'm gonna get
- 11:00some help. What help? Police? I don't want any police in on
- 11:03this. How much does your responsibility come to? One hundred thousand dollars?
- 11:09I'll post them cash. What I'll post that amount of money and assume your
- 11:13liability. If there is a liability, you never get a fair offer than
- 11:16that. I don't want this matter to get into the papers. Well,
- 11:22look, mister Parsons, we have assumed liability and we can't transfer it at
- 11:26this date. It's out of the question. So let's start our planning from
- 11:31there. I met Missus Parsons downstairs. I understand she's not supposed to meet
- 11:35me or see me, now, is that right? Yeah, well you
- 11:39better fix up that part of it. That's so. Yeah, suppose I
- 11:43don't. I'll see her anyhow. Here he was looking for something to throw
- 11:48when I stepped out the door and walked down the hall to the stairway at
- 11:52the foot of the stairs. I looked around for Robert Eckert, who wasn't
- 11:56around. I found my head by the door, and then I ran into
- 11:58Missus Parsons again. Mister Dollar, Yes, what's been decided? What's he
- 12:03going to do about David? It's pretty hard to say what he's going to
- 12:05do about anything. What are you going to do? I was going to
- 12:07drive over to your house this afternoon and ask you to go to the police
- 12:11and make it a missing person's report. If you refuse to do that,
- 12:13I was going to the police myself and asked to help. Do you think
- 12:18that's the thing to do? I mean a missing person report? Yep,
- 12:20I think that's the thing to do. I'll be home later this afternoon.
- 12:24He'm not curious, all right, say two o'clock. Fine, be cool
- 12:31off for a second or two. Some museum piece he is. Be careful
- 12:37of it. Mister Dollary will break your heart. He's your kind, You're
- 12:41his dish of meat. Yeah. I didn't pay much attention to that remark
- 12:48from Robert Ecker. I thought about Svengali and Rasputin and a couple of fellas
- 12:54like that. I didn't make a parson senior in the same class with them.
- 12:58But I should have guessed it. Acker's trying to tell me, but
- 13:01I just wouldn't listen. Johnny Dollar, this is missus David Parsons. Well,
- 13:22he called mister Ecker and he told me where you're staying. I was
- 13:26just on my way out to your home, Missus Parsons. I'd rather he
- 13:28didn't come to the house. Mister Dollar, couldn't I meet you somewhere?
- 13:31Well? Sure? That is still why don't I come by your hotel and
- 13:35pick you up. That'll be all right. Fifteen minutes. Is that too
- 13:37soon? That's fine, Missus Parsons. Yes, your father in law know
- 13:41you're meeting me. He did, I think he'd kill me. Expense account
- 13:54submitted by special Investigator Johnny Dollar to the Eastern Casualty and Trust Company Number twenty
- 13:58five Yard Bull Ofvard, Boston, Massachusetts. The following is an accounting of
- 14:03expendit yours during my investigation of the calicles matter. It had him two four
- 14:09dollars and fifty five cents. One long distance phone call to Dave Blaine,
- 14:13chief investigator of for Reestern Casualty. I explained to him that, in spite
- 14:18of our information that David Parsons Junior had been missing for ten days, people
- 14:22in Los Angeles connected with him seemed indifferent or irritated by an investigation. I
- 14:26told him how old man Parsons had tried to throw me out three times when
- 14:30I got around at suggesting that perhaps his son might have flown the coop with
- 14:33some money in bonds. Playing told me to keep trying and keep on trying
- 14:37to get to the bottom of it. I took him at his word.
- 14:41It was a little after two o'clock when I saw missus Dorothy Parsons pull up
- 14:45in front of the Beverly Hilton Lobby. She wore a ribbon to hold her
- 14:48hair back in the convertible. A sundress showed off a pair of well tanned
- 14:50shoulders, the dark glasses, the cigarette holder, and the smile that the
- 14:54rest and making her a very pretty woman. I suppose I look worried.
- 15:00I keep you waiting long? Oh no, no, what matters? I
- 15:03don't know. Yes, I do too. It just struck me. I'm
- 15:07here to see about your missing husband. Now it looks like we're going on
- 15:11a picnic. I think you don't have to wear a sackcloth and ashes to
- 15:13do your job. No, really do your well. It sometimes helps on
- 15:18a job like this. You disapprove of me, don't you. I disapprove
- 15:22of everybody. I have to missus Parsons all the time, forever, only
- 15:26until a thing straightened out, until you separate the chaff from the weed.
- 15:30I suppose, eh, where are we going? I thought you might like
- 15:35to drive down by the ocean. I'd rather be facing you across a desk.
- 15:39You shan't do that, mister dollar. I won't allow it. Stop
- 15:43looking so gloom. How's that? I don't know. I just don't know.
- 15:48Would you feel any better if you faced me across a luncheon table that's
- 15:52as close to a desk as I can think of. Yeah, let's try
- 15:56that out. I gave up what I could have sat and let her think
- 16:00it over. She drove well, keeping her eyes to the road, both
- 16:03hands on the wheel. She was a careful kind. The rear view mirror
- 16:07was adjusted two or three times looking for traffic cops. We went off Sunset
- 16:11Boulevard and onto the road that is set right by the ocean. The sun
- 16:15was shining, the air was warm, and I got to thinking, what
- 16:18business did I have worrying about a missing man on such a nice day.
- 16:23Oh? What listen, come on, I'm tired of driving. Let's walk
- 16:29along that lovely strip of beach. Oh no, wait a minute, mister,
- 16:33please, it's such a lovely day in the air, so good walk
- 16:37with me, talk with me just a little while, and then we can
- 16:40talk about all these other things. Please. I married David when I was
- 16:49not quite eighteen. He was almost thirty. Me. See, that was
- 16:55fourteen years ago. Fourteen years go on. He joined his father's firm and
- 17:00he's been there ever since. We live well socially economically. I guess I
- 17:07belong to the keep your social position in mine club, don't I? I
- 17:12don't know what do you think of me? I met you today to talk
- 17:18about your husband, Missus Parsons. But I've been talking about my husband.
- 17:23I told you about meeting him, about being married to him. What else
- 17:29is it to tell? Now? Tell me about missing him? What can
- 17:33I tell you about that? Well? Where he is? For one thing?
- 17:37I don't know any ideas, no none. You're so pretty. I
- 17:41almost believe you. Oh you are a human being. But I don't believe
- 17:48you. I don't care tell me how pretty I am. I don't understand
- 17:53you. I didn't understand your father in law, David Parsons, is missing.
- 17:57No one wants to talk about to do anything about him, make any
- 18:00moves? Now? What is this? You're cross with me? Now?
- 18:04Yeah? For some reason, I'd assume you'd want me to talk to somebody
- 18:10about your husband. You'd want to talk to somebody too, that you'd want
- 18:14him back. I want to know if he's well, if he's in trouble,
- 18:15and what happens. You spend an hour on a Sunday afternoon, showing
- 18:19me your best profile, doing everything but getting down to the business at hand.
- 18:22I don't get it. I'm sorry, I guess I don't blame you.
- 18:30What is it you want to know? When did you see him last?
- 18:34Last Tuesday morning? At breakfast at home? Tell me about him?
- 18:37There's nothing to tell. Really. He ate his breakfast, ready, his
- 18:41paper, put on his coat, kissed me, and left. I called
- 18:47his office at noon about something or other in his secretary told me he hadn't
- 18:49come in. I really didn't know he wasn't around till Wednesday afternoon late.
- 18:56How's that well? Tuesday night I went out with friends. Wednesday, I
- 19:04slept late. I presumed David was in bed when I came in. I
- 19:07didn't look in his bedroom. Wednesday afternoon, mister Ecker called and asked to
- 19:12speak to David. Mister Ecker told me David hadn't been in his office holiday
- 19:15Tuesday. I checked his bedroom and his bed hadn't been slept on Tuesday night,
- 19:21So I called my father in law. Why didn't you call the police?
- 19:22Why should I? That only seems reasonable to me go on. Mister
- 19:27Parson's told me not to mention the matter to anyone, that he'd take care
- 19:30of it. He hinted, I'm bad at this, Johnny, because you
- 19:37have no idea. But I mean, mister Parson's senior doesn't hint. He's
- 19:41a very blunt person. I met him this morning. Yeah, but I'll
- 19:45say he hinted that David might have gone off with someone else. I see,
- 19:51has he ever disappeared before? Yes, many times. When was the
- 19:53last time last fall? The three days he was gone before that? It
- 20:00was in the spring. He was gone for a matter of five or six
- 20:03days when he came home on these occasions, What did he say? What
- 20:07did he do? Nothing? Oh no, I can't believe that. I
- 20:11mean, if he's gone a few days without leaving any kind of word when
- 20:15he returned, he must have had some explanation for it. I suppose he
- 20:18did. He might have said something about getting even I don't recall. Look
- 20:22at me now, this is serious. I'm looking at you. You said
- 20:26you've been married to him fourteen years. You said he joined his father's firm
- 20:30shortly after. Yes. What did he do before that? He studied and
- 20:34trapped, didn't work, he wrote or something. I don't know. What
- 20:38kind of a man is he. He's David Parson's junior. He's impeccable,
- 20:45brilliant and honest as a husband. Aren't you overstepping yourself somewhere? A lot
- 20:49of personal questions will have to be answered about him by someone. He's a
- 20:52very devoted husband in fast except for those times when he disappeared, Except for
- 20:56those times. Yes, do I suppose he'll reap here this time? Yes?
- 21:00Of course? Why don't you? It's your husband, not mine.
- 21:04Wind's coming up. Yes, I feel like so, munch. I feel
- 21:08very much like going home, all right, missus Parsons? Yes, did
- 21:17you expect me to make love to you out here this afternoon? Kind of
- 21:21questions that it's to the point, did you? Yes? Why it's not
- 21:29a nice question to ask me. I think sometimes I'm quite attractive. I
- 21:36think you must be attractive all the time. Thank you? Why didn't you
- 21:41kiss me? Well, don't have to go into that, unless, of
- 21:45course, you want to tell me why you stole me all afternoon? Do
- 21:48you do shame? Mister Donna? One thing more? When I spoke with
- 21:55you earlier, you asked my advice in this matter. I advise you call
- 21:57the police about your husband. Did you you know I I also advised your
- 22:00father in law to do the same thing. He said he'd kill me and
- 22:04himself before he'd call the police in. You said, or I thought you
- 22:07said you'd call him in anyhow, that you were concerned about your husband and
- 22:11wanted them found. Did I get that wrong? I don't want any police,
- 22:15mister Donner. I don't think they're necessary. David will come back.
- 22:18No police. What made you change your mind? Your father in law?
- 22:23You said you only had one more question. I lied, I've got a
- 22:26thousand questions. I should call him. Come on. We walked up to
- 22:34the highway and climbed back into the car. She drove to the nearest filling
- 22:38station and public telephone both. I waited in the car while she made a
- 22:42phone call. Some high school kids drove up in a gelope and sweatshirts and
- 22:47jeans. They weighed ten pounds of wieners at me for no reason at all,
- 22:51and asked me if I'd like to go on a wiener fry. I
- 22:53told him no. An old man with a bamboo fishing pole came in.
- 22:57He dropped a Soggi gunnysack on the pavement while he disappeared around to the back.
- 23:03I went over and peeked in. Three pretty good sized perch smelled out
- 23:06at me. I looked off at the ocean, just in time to see
- 23:10a pair of surfboard riders catch the creamy top of a roller, climb up
- 23:12on their feet, and wave to their girlfriends sitting in the sand. Nothing
- 23:17was wrong with the world, nothing at all. Life was going on just
- 23:19fine. David Parsons Junior had been missing ten days and nothing was wrong at
- 23:25all. I lit up a cigarette. What difference did it make if a
- 23:30man was missing ten days? Not a bit, especially to his wife,
- 23:33who looked her prettiest when she told me practically nothing about his disappearance. The
- 23:37ashes fell on my lap. I'm sorry, I did so terribly long,
- 23:44mister dollar. I had to call my father in law's home too. There
- 23:48was a message for me. Look, I'm afraid I'm going to have to
- 23:52go over your head. Your father in law's had everybody's. When I get
- 23:55back in town, I'm going to tell the police about this. I just
- 23:57decided while I was sitting waiting for you. It won't be any need for
- 24:00that. David's come back. What he's home now? That was the message,
- 24:07he'll be there when we get there. You see, all of your
- 24:10worry was for nothing. You and I we could have had a perfectly lovely
- 24:17afternoon if we'd known this, couldn't we If you say so, missus Parsons,
- 24:32you are right, brother, Yeah, take it easy. I didn't
- 24:36give me a hand with her, and somebody call him. You're like,
- 24:37yeah, sure, you take it easy. I'll take care of her until
- 24:42wow, wow, what is it? I'm sorry, mister, she's dead.
- 25:02Now here's our star to tell you about tomorrow's intriguing episode of this week's
- 25:06story. Tomorrow trouble comes early and stays late. Join us, won't you?
- 25:11Yours Truly? Johnny Dollar. Yours Truly Johnny Dollar, starring Bob Bailey,
- 25:36is transcribed in Hollywood. Written by John Dawson, It is produced and
- 25:41directed by Jack Johnstone. Be sure to join us tomorrow night, same time
- 25:45and station for the next exciting episode of Yours Truly Johnny Dollar. Roy Rowan
- 25:52speaking when welcome back, Well, I have to say that I love the
- 27:33scene in the first episode with Johnny facing off against the father. I thought
- 27:40that was such a great moment when you had these two kind of alpha dog
- 27:42characters just really going after each other, with Johnny refusing to back down.
- 27:49Of course, the episode came to us somewhat sudden in and I do think
- 27:56that we did have some indications through just the behavior of the life that there
- 28:03really is something wrong in this relationship and with the missing husband. We'll probably
- 28:08get more clues on it on Wednesday, but for now we turn now to
- 28:12listener comments and feedback. And I've got a letter from Daniel who says,
- 28:18Adam, I've been listening for years, but I wanted to take a minute
- 28:21to thank you for creating this wonderful podcast and giving new life to some old
- 28:25classics. I listened to your podcast when I run and just squeeze in an
- 28:30episode on a three mile run. Ironically, our tastes differ greatly. In
- 28:34the episodes you usually highlight I don't care for, and the ones you find
- 28:40lacking. I usually enjoy the best. I even prefer the inflatable creature advertisements
- 28:45to the bubblegum and petrol ads. I've gone through some tough times in my
- 28:51life, and the thirty Minute Run and the accompanying podcast have kept me sane
- 28:55and brought happiness to my life. When I needed it most. Thank you.
- 29:00I'm just one of the many whose life you've touched away you can't possibly
- 29:03imagine. Keep up the great and important work, inn Well, Thanks so
- 29:07much. Dan definitely appreciate anyone who can run a great distance because I can't.
- 29:15I think I might be able to walk three quarters of a mile listening
- 29:19to the show. That's about it. I like that you enjoy the show,
- 29:22even though we don't necessarily share the same taste. Love to get different
- 29:26views, including someone who enjoys the giant animal at and of course for the
- 29:33last part, I can just thank you for your con words. And we've
- 29:37received other emails like that, and it wasn't something that we set out expecting
- 29:44to happen when The Great Detectives of Old Time Radio was launched, but it's
- 29:49been one of those things, just very pleasant to find that something this simple
- 29:56can make a difference in people's lives, which has always been something important to
- 30:00me and I never thought this show would have the impact it has had.
- 30:06But thanks so much to everyone who's listening out there. We'll be back tomorrow
- 30:11with mister Malone and then join us back here on Wednesday for the next part
