today's episode. As we wrap up the Jolly Roger Fraud Matter, Part five
1:26
from Hollywood, it's time now for Hello Johnny Dollar. Johnny you sound surprised,
1:36
Jan Well, yes, I am, dear. I thought you were
1:38
going over to police headquarters. I changed my mind. Then you didn't need
1:42
my car after all? No, are you coming back here to my apartment
1:49
Johnny after I take a little walk. As I told you, I've got
1:53
to think this case out, and I can't very well do it wrapped up
1:56
in your arms. Oh, Jenny, why don't you take a drive along
2:00
the shoreline in my car. I want to come along, Jan. I'll
2:07
wait for you here. Yeah, see you in a little while, much
2:12
sooner than you think. Baby. Tonight and Every Weekday Night Bob Bailey and
2:23
the Transcribed Adventures of the Man with the Action Packed Expense account America's fabulous freelance
2:28
insurance investigator Yas Truley Johnny Dollar Expense accounts submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar location
2:46
in San Diego, California, to Universal Adchester's Bureau, Hartford, Connecticut,
2:51
assignment the Jolly Roger Fraud, including the loss of a palatial yacht and a
2:54
couple of murders expense account out of twelve phone call and One thing I didn't
3:01
tell Jan Penny was that I was calling her from a booth right on the
3:05
ground floor of her own apartment building. Another was the reason I changed my
3:08
mind about borrowing her car to drive the headquarters for a talk with Sergeant Franklin.
3:13
Although I had gone out to the parking lot and climbed into her car.
3:15
All right, But as I was about to insert the keida started,
3:19
I noticed the hood wasn't closed down tight. That saved my life for wired
3:23
to the ignition, I found a booby trap that would have blown me the
3:25
Kingdom come if i'd even turned the key. After hanging up on Jan,
3:30
I hopped upstairs to her apartment and pressed an air against the door. No,
3:35
no, he didn't, because he just phoned me from somewhere outside.
3:38
But he said he's coming back here, and I tell you you'd better come
3:40
over here. No, No, he just said he's going for a walk.
3:46
Of course, I can handle all right, all right. I went
3:53
back to the first floor to the phone booth and called Sergeant Franklin, do
3:57
you think Jan Penny's in with Znaggin on his whole all? I'll tell you
4:00
this. I don't like what I think. Look, Sergeant, I'm going
4:02
back upstairs to talk to her again. Uh talk, did you say?
4:06
Yes? Talk. I'm going to lay it all out to her, tell
4:09
her what I suspect and why. If I can break it down, Okay,
4:12
If I can't, well I'm misjudged it. Lucky stiff. I've seen
4:15
her, Johnny, boy, what's that supposed to mean? I hope you
4:18
have misjudged her for your sake, what reconciliation with a lovely way to spend
4:24
the rest of the evening? Look you don't go to it, boy,
4:27
and happy hunting? Who is it? John? Yeah? That was a
4:43
short walk, but I'm glad are you? Are you sorry? I didn't
4:47
stay away longer so you could get some help? Sit down, Sit down,
4:51
Jane, I want to talk to you. Oh how masterful here?
4:57
As you know, I didn't borrow your car after all? Next to me,
5:00
darling, Let's continue from where we are, because fortunately somebody goof left
5:03
the hood partly open. That's why I discovered the booby trap that would have
5:06
gone off as I turned the ignition key. Oh sir, Johnny, booby
5:11
what are you talking about? That's why I didn't hear the expected explosion right
5:15
after I left you. Then they are after me too, the warning of
5:18
the phone if I didn't stop helping you in this case, Johnny would like
5:23
do for one thing, take your arms back to yourself and move over to
5:28
your own corner of this couch so I can pull a gun if any of
5:30
your pal something. Again, I feel it's too late. At Teas here
5:35
will pull the trigger if you so much as move a hand toward your gun.
5:40
He's an excellent shot. Yeah, I'm sure he is awkward coming in
5:43
the service entrance, but I was concerned lest your phone call in the lobby
5:46
might have been to the police. Here. Now, permit me to take
5:50
charge of your goal. Just a minute's and again I should thank you.
5:56
Oh yes, this is at Teas, the man I've had following you since
5:59
you arrival here in San Diego. You don't recognize him, This boy I
6:04
keep him from you never know I follow him. Oh yeah, yeah,
6:09
I tiss you've been pretty good at it. But as long as we've been
6:13
introduced, now, why don't we shake him? And he would, my
6:17
boy, and I believe you call it a silencer, would obviate any undue
6:23
noise. WU don't you be happier if he did pull the triggers? And
6:26
again, but I wish to talk with you, dear mister. I don't
6:29
think we have anything to talk about. Oh but we you see, dear
6:32
boy, I'm curious to know why you suspected jan here of complicity in our
6:38
little plan lovely girl. Isn't she pretty obvious? Isn't it now? Oh,
6:45
forgive me. I realized in a situation like this, it is usually
6:48
the detective, or in this case, the insurance investigator, who, at
6:53
the point of a gun, extracts a confession from the shall we say criminal?
6:57
However, okay, I'll tell you apart from the threatening phone calls,
7:00
which nobody was chance seemed to know a terrible story for her to make up.
7:04
You warn me in the beginning you'd have somebody taming me while I was
7:08
here in San Diego to make sure I didn't spoil your plan collect some four
7:12
hundred and sixty thousand insurance in that yacht you burned and sank out near the
7:15
Coronado's quite right, quite right, But I must ask you to be brief
7:19
in case that phone call you made was to the police. You see,
7:24
with only artists and John left of my staff and crew, I can't very
7:28
well for sure that call was to the police. That's why I'm trying to
7:31
stall you with a lot of talk. Thank you for If that were true,
7:36
dear boy, you would never admitt me. But do continue, all
7:41
right. I've been followed before, I know or at least, I hope
7:45
I do every trick in the book for dodging a tale. Too good,
7:47
Artists, you shouldn't admit he got away from you too good now I make
7:54
him suck artists. Please, I wish to hear more from mister and I
7:59
wish to speak to him. As a matter of fact, Dear mister Dalla,
8:03
there is really no need for you to continue. You are a very
8:07
intelligent young man. Thanks. You realize that no one but our little Janet
8:11
could have provided me with all the information I had. You're coming out here
8:16
to investigate the sinking of the Jolly Roger. You're touching deathbed scene with mister
8:20
Parker, your conversations with Lieutenant Smith, because god, and oh she did
8:26
dispose of him quite well, didn't she? Chan Who else, Johnny,
8:33
who else could have run down Bird Parker without artist artic Please, I wish
8:39
to talk with mister Dall. I wonder you want sister to drive your Bobby
8:43
Trap card and might really, Darling, I'm glad that you didn't, because
8:46
if you listening, yes, dear boy, listen to me. You are
8:50
intelligent, as I said before you even learned why, I am in immediate
8:54
need of funds, so that I me if finance returned to Europe and freedom
8:58
money of mine that has been frozen there millions, dear boy, and this
9:03
the lovely Janet. Will you taste those who work with me share with me.
9:07
It's true. Johnny, regardless of his reputation, when it comes to
9:11
the people who will work with him, have the crow of that yacht.
9:13
And whoever else was working with him, he had meted and only you want
9:16
to trigger happy Charry to here well left who tools, my dear boy,
9:22
Quite unlike the intelligent colleagues such as yourself and Janet, whom I wish to
9:26
keep close. For artist, boy, that means you better watch your step.
9:30
What do you mean nothing? ARTI is nothing nothing, my dear mister
9:35
Dollar. Yeah, yeah, I get it, I get it. All
9:37
I do is report that your claim should be paid. And I'm on your
9:41
team and you will never regret it. Not only money more than you ever
9:46
dreamed of. But Janet, Janet, my per you do like our mister
9:50
Dollar. Do you know you met you sank to Johnie Rodger yourself and again
9:56
all the men went down with it. What had to be done, little
10:00
cabin Oh yes, yes, dear boy. Yes, both he and the
10:05
crew and the Jolly Roger were in danger, upsetting my plans. They had
10:09
to be eliminated. But you, dear man, please do not stand in
10:15
my way. Much as I like and respect you, If you do,
10:18
you will leave me no choice but to eliminate you, even as I had
10:22
to rid myself A Parker, the Lieutenant, Smith, the cabin boy.
10:28
What if I were to say, okay, I'll go along with a to
10:31
say the least, it would get me out of this present peck line man
10:33
ah, and much more. I still wish that gorilla yours would aim is
10:37
gunn the other way? Oh, Artists, I think you might relax a
10:41
bit for the moment, but I watch you go on, dear boy,
10:46
Okay, what kind of assurance do you think you'd have that I wouldn't double
10:50
cross you? There is the factor of fear fair, Oh my dear dear
10:58
man, don't you see? The choice is as simple as this, and
11:01
the choice is yours. You either accept my offer now or you accepted bullet
11:07
from arts is gone. The latter I would regret exceedingly, not only because
11:13
of you, I like you, but because it would mean temporary interruption of
11:16
my plans a quick trip across the border to avoid being found when your body
11:22
is discovered, and and the necessity of devising some other means for attaining passage
11:26
to your but far more formable problems have been overcome many times. Dear mister
11:35
Dahler, I do not wish to have to discuss this further. So tell
11:39
and again I have got not yes for me, not for you. You
11:43
mean you refuse, No, dear no, I mean you aren't going to
11:46
have to discuss this any further. You won't be able to. But is
11:50
I'd like to tie up this case with a big fancy handing a real dramatic
11:52
tagline. I do not understand a long winded confession. I mean a goa
11:56
just as well have been stated and caught well. As a matter of fact,
11:58
you'll probably hear it in it word for word. This homely trigger man
12:01
of yours aren't the only ones who know about the service entrance of this apartment?
12:05
What do you mean? You may as well give up quietly because the
12:07
gentleman standing in the doorway directly behind me, Sergeant Franklin of the Sandy Oh
12:11
no, you don't. I don't want that surgeon. What a miss better
12:28
tie up this gorilla. Boys. I'm glad you took the hint and came
12:31

12:35
so, yeah, no, more's an eggin dead. Yeah, I
12:41

12:46

remarks The famulous Crooked Empire of Paulus zenagian Eska puts the same way it
13:31
happens when every man who tries to break the rules of international law and order.
13:35
He might almost have called it death by his own hand, though of
13:37
course little Artie will be made to pay for it. Jan same thing.
13:41
I guess why do they do it Yours Truley Johnny Dawler. Now here's our
14:03
star to tell you about next week's exciting story. Next week vacation and a
14:07
beautiful romance that turned out to be a presude to murder. Join us,
14:13
won't you? Yours Truly Johnny Dollar? Yours Truly Johnny Dollar is starring Bob
14:35
Dailey, is transcribed in Hollywood. It is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone,

14:48
and Victor Perrin. Musical supervision by Amarigo Marino. Be sure to join
14:54
us on Monday night, same time in Station for another exciting story of Yours
14:58
Truly, Johnny Dollar. This is Roy Rolan speaking welcome back. I have
16:03
to say this was has not been my favorite serial so far, because really,
16:12
to just came off week, it seemed to be going somewhere through the
16:17
first three parts and then just kind of fell apart of it in parts four
16:22
and five, it just became kind of obvious and you can definitely tell Johnstone
16:30
wrote this as opposed to most of these ones which were written by Jack E
16:40
Jack Newman or adapted from it. This one tried, but not quite.
16:47
But there's always another episode, all right, well, listener comments and feedback.
16:53
We had some positive comments on episode on episode one four nine the Clinton
17:00
matter, Gary on Twitter says great and Brian calls out one of our special
17:11
guest stars who shows up a lot, says, love that Johnny Dollar.
17:17
I can't believe how many episodes of Johnny Dollar and the Lineup have Howard mcneer
17:22
doing parts. I have so much respect for him. He is much more
17:26
than just Floyd the barber. Thanks so much, and I know that probably
17:32
a lot of baby boomers and older that's the main thing they remember McNear four.
17:38
But we see, you know, just listening to the radio programs,
17:45
he played a lot of different roles. Let George do it, Johnny Dollar
17:51
and the Lineup, but you know, you just hear that voice on nearly
17:57
on just so many programs. One of the really pivotal people that made radio
18:03
work. And we'll hear in some other series coming up. I know that
18:08
he is in one of the programs we'll be doing next season, the Casebook
18:12
at Gregory Hoods. All right, well, now it's time for our second
18:18
feature of the day, the Great Medical Mystery Show targeted towards a bit of
18:26
a younger audience. This is episode four from nineteen forty eight from the Monarch
18:33
program Library Syndication, The Mystery of the Man from Trouble Trouble Creek. Excuse
18:40
me, this is doctor Tim Detective to bring you by transcription, the Mystery
18:48
of the Man from Tubble Creek. It was Jill, Lady's daughter who first
19:00
brought the case to my attention. You see, Jail and her pal Sandy
19:03
have helped me out in a lot of my cases, which are usually of
19:07
the software mystery and medicine are combined. This morning, Jill and Sandy were
19:11
standing by while I was looking for some rare but dangerous microbes under the powerful
19:15
microscope I have in my laboratory. I don't know how the conversation started,
19:19
but I remember Jill asking suddenly, doctor Cam, you don't always get tasty
19:25
a case. Well, I'm not suffering from any want if that's what you
19:29
mean. I have standard fees for my crime investigation. Why don't mean it
19:33
sasty that I'm thinking of charity work? Well, you see, Jill,
19:37
those are things that any doctor just naturally does in the course of events,
19:40
without any thought of reward. What would you have on us Curson, just
19:42
somebody in trouble the same way, of course I would. Any doctor would.
19:47
If you knew the number of free cases a doctor's handle each year,
19:51
you'd think, well, that didn't be salty. A medical case. Well
19:55
it started, is too bit. There's something up your sleeve, isn't there?
19:59
Well this KNU feel sorry for, oh for whom Missus Edwards. She's
20:03
a friend of Maddis and she hasn't any money and his family to take care
20:07
of him. But he doctor Kim, she sure needs help them to be
20:11
your husband sick my dad isn't the worst part he disappears, I thought,
20:15
maybe too much, maybe, And that was the way I first learned of
20:19
the strange disappearance of Arnold Edwards, the man from Trouble Creek. Later that
20:25
afternoon, Sandy and Jill brought Missus Edwards to my office. You see,
20:29
doctor, my husband and I live on a small Renis farm at Trouble Creek.
20:33
We have three tiny children. Well, they just haven't been working out
20:37
in a money way. I mean, well, guys don't have places where
20:41
you can go and get some help. Now, Sandy, just wait until
20:44
missus Edwards has finished her story. Everything went along pretty well until my husband
20:48
started feeling bad a few months ago. He's tried awful hard, but he
20:53
just couldn't seem to get the farm work done. That's what kind of illness
20:56
was it? I don't know. It's also hard to get a doctor.
21:00
And well there was the money, dude. He well, he complained of
21:04
feeling tired, and he lost a lot of weight, and I thought he
21:08
looked like he had a feeler. Hmm, the cost I don't remember.
21:14
Oh, yes, he did have a bad cold. How long did it
21:17
last? That's a funny part. It never did seem to go away.
21:21
It wasn't bad, but there was that cough that seemed to come back all
21:25
the time. Gosh, doctor till, what gould are all those questions?
21:26
He just walked away from home and didna appear well? He hasn't. Even
21:30
the police can't find him. Now, look, you kids, every mystery
21:33
has a number of causes, and you can't know too much about the background
21:36
of everybody concerned in one. If you think the detective work or medical work
21:40
either, it's just a matter of chasing around and getting into exciting scrapes.
21:44
You'd better think again, all right, missus Edwards? Go on, Well,
21:48
well, finally my husband did ask the job in hers where to go
21:51
for help, and she's only to come to town here. That was three
21:56
weeks ago, and I haven't heard a word from him since. Oh,
22:00
doctor, isn't there something you can do? Well? There, I was.
22:15
You can't stay, not on an appeal like that. And besides,
22:18
she was Sandy's in Jill's own case, if you want to put it that
22:22
way, the first time they'd actually come to me for help. I may
22:26
be a sucker, but I just can't seem to turn down people in a
22:30
jam. Missus Edwards was staying for a couple of days right in the house
22:33
as a guest of Jill's mother. So I decided to find out as much
22:37
of the picture as I could. First, I called the Missing Person's Bureau
22:41
of the Police Department. You're doctor, anything you want. You've given us
22:45
enough help in your time, but I'm afraid there's nothing here on it for
22:48
you your routine investigation. Yes, we've checked the hospitals, the more looked
22:53
in on the missions for good stud fans Salvation army and all man. No,
22:59
Madra Man, isn't the criminals, and there is very much to go
23:02
on. Yes you're welcome. I tried a few leads of my own,
23:07
including a telephone call to the county nurse, but she's the way on vacation.
23:11
I was sure she must have given Edwards a card or letter to some
23:15
specific medical agency, and so the next thing to do was to make a
23:18
thorough check of all those on the fourth call, I've found what I wanted.
23:22
Yes, don't. We gave him an examination. He came to take
23:27
raise thorough Jacob Yes, tabercueoses and pretty advanced PA too. No. No
23:34
address attempts the farm at trouble Creeds. No, no. He came back
23:40
in person and we advised him of what the matter was and what to do.
23:44
She's a beard, Well that's d No. I haven't the slightest idea.
23:52
Yes you're welcome, And there we were at a dead end again.
24:03
It wasn't even any news to me to discover that the Welfare Medical Center had
24:07
diagnosed Edward's disease as tuberculosis. From what his wife had said, the conclusion
24:11
was obvious. A loss of weight and wasting away process which gave the disease
24:15
its original name of consumption. The fever, the call, the tiredness,
24:19
and inability to work, all those were signs that the dread tubercle the scilli
24:25
the cause of tuberculosis or at their deadly work inside his lungs. If the
24:30
man was to live, those lungs must have rest, complete rest, to
24:33
allow the healing processes of nature to do their job. That meant a hospital,
24:37
specialized care, months perhaps of expert attention. But why had he disappeared
24:42
from home? It wasn't until the day that Missus Edwards left to go back
24:48
to Trouble Creek the things began to make sense. Sandy and Jail dropped into
24:52
the laboratory, and Sandy announced, proudly, well, I guess we answer
24:55
though, Mercy. You said to get back round about everybody in the case,
24:57
and we've gotten well. Let me disinfect my hands. I've been analyzing
25:03
some poisons. Maybe we'd better have a conference. Find yourselves a chair there,
25:07
Okay, please say everything written down in an open First, I want
25:11
to say we interviewed Missus Edward Sterling an excellent idea, okay, Arnold Edward's
25:15
goody, no farmer or nineteen hundred and nine, two brothers, one sister.
25:22
I guess that that's not the way you put information down an occupation,
25:26
didn't it do? You can? Oh exactly went to school through the sixth
25:30
grade, then had to find work because of family. I must admit that
25:34
after my week's rush of work and the extra task of trying to locate the
25:38
missing farmer, I began to nod as Sandy and Jill in turn went through
25:44
the long and irrelevant history of mister Edwards's life. I thought that a right
25:48
smile, that I'd done my work too well when I suggested that backgrounds were
25:52
important in a mystery, I hadn't the heart to cut them off. And
25:56
then, coming to attention at a word or two, after we've seen hours
25:59
of case history, I snapped, suddenly, Hey, go back there.
26:03
A few words you mean about mister Edwards matter. Here it is Missus Edwards
26:08
quote two years ago my husband's mother died. That was just before my youngest
26:14
Davy was born. She had lived with us. What did she die of?
26:18
It said? Here a hand up Sich of the line hold on a
26:22
minute, answered this carefully. Did mister Edwards realize that his mother had died
26:26
at tuberculosis. Oh sure, His wife said it was a very sudden thing
26:30
as far as the new one and the doctor talked it over with him.
26:33
He had thought TV took a long long time to kill any guy. Not
26:36
necessarily. Many times it's on set and the resulting death are very rapid.
26:40
Anyway, from law, do you mean mister Edwards could have inherited it?
26:45
No? No, no, no. Tuberculosis can't be inherited, but it
26:48
can be transferred through contact. Anyone who lives with a tubercular person should have
26:52
frequent X rays and tests determined if he has gotten the disease. Hey,
26:56
what does all this have to do with miss Edwid's disappearance? It gives us
27:00
the reason without a doubt, just this. I'm sure the doctor who attended
27:04
old missus Edwards informed her son of the dangers of getting the disease by association.
27:10
Well, when he suspected that he too had it, he took the
27:14
only course he made sure by a medical examination, and then, rather than
27:18
expose his family to TV any further, he did what he considered the only
27:22
possible things. He disappeared from home, probably to die somewhere alone, to
27:30
die. He who be cured. It can It dropped from first to eighth
27:36
places a cause of death just in the last two years thanks to medical science.
27:38
Then we can save them. We can, and we will if and
27:42
it's a big gift if we can find them. Now go on with that
27:48
background information. There were two clues to mister Edwards probable whereabouts the fact that
27:57
before he became ill, he was interested in raising chickens and had hoped her
28:00
experiment with breeding them to develop some new strains. The second point might or
28:06
might not be important. He had been a bricklayer at one time in his
28:08
life, and so the search was on. We drew branks on gold scores.
28:15
I was sure that our missing man would not be well enough for the
28:18
heavy labor of laying bricks. But with the help of a picture which his
28:22
wife had mailed us, we candiced every building contractor in town. We did
28:26
the same with every poultry raiser in the district. None had hired him.
28:32
He checkeded. We had just about decided that our man had left this part
28:34
of the country when a telephone call came from Missus Edwards at Trouble Creek.
28:38
Not here. I had a letter from me from right here in town just
28:45
worried, and he said, whatever money. That's good. God, he
28:52
just walked money for the good of myself. Oh, doctor, please please
28:57
find you for me. By this time, both the kids and I were
29:07
frivay. I'd spent so much time on the case of my regular work was
29:10
going into a mountain of backbreaking labor, and the farther away from a solution
29:14
the matter looked, the more determined I was that I was going to save
29:18
a stubborn human being from the death that would surely come unless I could find
29:22
him and persuade him to enter a hospital for treatment. That doc gone fool,
29:26
I thought, sayesn't he know there are special hospitals right here in the
29:30
state for TV patients who can't afford to pay. It had been over a
29:34
week since our search had started. Was it possible that it was such a
29:37
short time. Wearily, I threw myself onto a chair and tried to think.
29:45
Standing in jail, knocked quietly at my door, come in. Gosh,
29:53
we feel kind of like he's not helping any I guess there isn't anything
29:56
else to do. I'm afraid not kids without Maybe we just see the states
30:00
there to night. So the last night. Nice, You're hate to miss
30:03
all the roping in the rodeo and the exhibits. Ye yeh, it's really
30:07
going to be Lulu, want to come along? Oh, I'm afraid I'm
30:11
too tired. Kid. You go on. You wouldn't have to do much
30:12
of anything. You don't want to watch the show. You could just wander
30:15
through the exhibits and things. Hardly anybody's there when the show's going on.
30:18
In the arena, for sure, they have lights of the interesting things,
30:22
rabbits and say looking ears of corn and a crazy spinky birds and kickings you
30:26
ever saw. We don't have theethers clear down to the ground and color top
30:30
that. And they don't even look like chickens, lots of them. And
30:33
shoes. Good josh, you don't even stop to talk. Everybody have your
30:37
coat. Let's get in that car, but fast, it's our last chance.
30:53
A half hour later, I walked quietly up and down the aisles of
30:57
the almost deserted poultry exhibit of the fair. My heart was beating fast.
31:03
I glanced from time to time of the picture in my hand. One false
31:07
alarm, two three, and then you look closs, mister, he says,
31:14
making do for you I work here, Yes there is. I have
31:19
a message from your wife, mister Edwards. Now I don't want you to
31:22
say a word. I want to talk to you about finding a hospital that
31:27
will cure you. All those lungs need is arrest. Simple surgery, if
31:32
needed, can do much to make you a new man. Your family have
31:34
been examined and haven't taken a disease. Your wife is heartbroken, and your
31:41
kids are crying for you. So how about it, fella? Shall we
31:45
talk? This is doctor Tim detective saying so long until next week at the
31:56
same time, when Sandy, Jill and I will dip in a my case
32:00
book for the exciting transcribed story I call the Mystery of the Second Alarm Welcome
33:01
back, well kind of. We're working in a current issue for nineteen forty
33:08
eight along with a missing person's case, and I think a very interesting approach
33:17
in a good educate way to educate the public. The one thing I did
33:23
wonder here is why this farmer would make the choice, if he thought he
33:29
was this contagious to go out and and work. You know, it just
33:36
seems like putting a lot of people at risk, even if they aren't related.
33:40
For you, So kind of some odd choices, but at any rate,
33:45
I'm looking forward to next week's episode. I don't think I've actually listening
33:51
to it before, so I hope you'll be back with us for another episode
33:53
of Doctor Tim. Okay, Now, some listener comments that have kind of
34:02
gotten lost. Some people email me or they go on Facebook and they try
34:15
to contact me without any sort of friend relationship. So they sent some comments
34:23
that kind of got lost, and there was one critical one that was funny.
34:30
I got this actual Rick commented on Facebook. Please, for God's sake,
34:37
get that voice off the Sherlock Holmes. You know, show your ignorance
34:40
every time you open your mouth. Nail nails on a blackboard. The funny
34:46
thing was I actually got that after I'd stopped doing the Sherlock Holmes portion of
34:52
the podcast once we finish those. But on a much more nicer note,
34:58
received this from Bob Adam. I've never met you, but I'm a big
35:02
and faithful fan of great Detectives. Best wishes and keep up the good work.
35:07
You appreciated and are a valued part of my daily routine. All the
35:10
best, Bob. Well, thanks so much, Bob, and if you
35:15
do want to get in contact with the show on Facebook. I do encourage
35:17
listeners to like our Facebook page at Facebook dot com, Slash Radio Detectives.

If you email, If you send a Facebook message to me and I'm not
35:29
in a friend status, it basically goes into a message folder called other,
35:37
and if you're on Facebook, you have that folder as well, and it
35:42
just does not get checked because half the time I don't even think of it
35:45
being there. So I apologize for those who sent encouraging, good messages that
35:51
I wasn't able to get back to you because I didn't see the messages,
35:54
but I just stumbled on that so on I would share, all right,
36:00

36:05
lineup. Then join us on Monday for another Yours to lead Joni Dollar Cereal,
