Forgetful Murderer. That's free Wine bring you Facebook, Gregory Hood. Tonight's the
2:00
Petrie to bring you good wines. Invite you to listen to the story of
2:05
a getful murderer, another exciting story from the case books of Gregory Hood.
2:10
And if you don't mind, I'd like to repeat something I've said before.
2:14
It's simply this. The best beginning a good meal ever had is a glass
2:19
of Petrie California sherry. Try Survey for dinner and you'll know what I mean
2:24
That Petrie sherry is a marvelous wine. Just look at its deep amber color,
2:30
so rich and inviting. And as for the wine itself, what a
2:34
flavor. Petrie sherry has a flavor you know comes right from the heart of
2:38
Russia's sun rifling California grape. And say, if you like your sherry dry
2:44
like I do, you know not sweet Petrie makes a delicious dry sherry Petree
2:49
pale dry. If you don't know which you prefer, the regular or the
2:53
pale dry, don't buy one, buy two, try them both, but
2:57
remember always buy Petrie. Well, it's Monday night in San Francisco and it's
3:20
time to keep our weekly date with Gregory Hood and his friend Sanderson Taylor.
3:24
Tonight's rendezvous is at one of this city's favorite and most colorful meeting places the
3:29
top of the Mark Hopkins Hotel. Let's join the man, shall Harry Bartell
3:37
ating mister Taylor? Hello, Greg? Oh, Harry coming to them.
3:39
You're just in time to settle a fears argument, argument uh, company policy
3:45
or a private opinion. The last break and I have an arguing is to
3:49
what is the plural of mongoose? I say it's mongooses, And his vote
3:53
has gone for monge. Now what cure, bet, Harry? I think
3:55
I go for mongooses too, Greg, You're out vote Sanday Funk and Wagner's
4:00
who hear of it? Now? You must be an obstinate old mongoo.
4:03
So how did you get onto the project? Anyway? Oh, it came
4:06
up quite logically. A little earlier on, Sandy and I were shooting crabs
4:10
at the apartments. He threw three double aces in a row. The double
4:13
as is better known as snake eyes. From there we began to discuss snakes
4:16
than the ways of killing them, and that was when Sandy made his fatal
4:19
remark about mongy. You call that logical, you'll find Harry and Griggs logic.
4:24
It's almost a little involved. Well, I'll forgive that if you'll keep
4:27
up his record of good storytelling. How's about tonight, Jan, Greg?
4:30
Well, Harry, I think I should preface the story by telling you that
4:33
last year I decided to open a small but select retail Stow and I may
4:38
tell you, Hars that it took all of Braggs Wiles in personal contacts the
4:41
wangle a riffle. Yes, we finally secured a location on Boost Street near
4:45
the Sant Francis Hotel. On the night my story begins, Sandy and I
4:48
were at a new place talking over the final plans with our manager. He
4:51
sat there quite late, I remember, and it must with an asses ten.
4:55
As we left the store and walked down Post Taught, where my car
4:58
was parked. As we reached it, we noticed quite a crowd gathered outside
5:01
the jewelry store. Naturally, we walked up to see what it's caused.
5:08
Hello, what's the exciting? Just for Gray and looks as if someone's giving
5:12
away nylons on the sidewalk. Let's go and smooth. Must be trouble,
5:16
Greg, The police is here. It's I'm prominent among them, Sergeant Bartman.
5:20
Hello, sergeant, Oh mean it's a hood I might I hope back
5:25
there, Please out of the way. You've got to keep this clear.
5:29
Huh. It doesn't take you long smell out our murder, mister, hood
5:31
and a murder. It's purely a coincidence that we happened to be passing gargant
5:35
what happened? Star broken into jewelry, stolen night watchmen, stabbed to death,
5:41
nabbed the killer. Nah, he was too fast for us, made
5:44
a clean get away. Mist the hood. Can I come in and take
5:46
a gander? Oh, grey par that's your curiosity alone for one. I'm
5:51
afraid I have got strict instructions at the hood. If you call headquarters,
5:56
I'm sure they'll authorize the pass off. No, no, Sergeant, I
5:58
will bother by the way. How wife all over the operations doing fine?
6:00
Thank you so long time? Don't night and it's hurt wonder if whatever sees
6:09
greg you're actually walking away from the scene of the murder. Purely commercial robbery.
6:13
Murders like that aren't in my line standing. In any case, I'm
6:15
not in the mood for violence tonight. Let's go over to the lick grill
6:19
and rattle a few dye. No, not me, I'm gonna hire me
6:23
home to marry and the children. You're a very worthy citizen. Standa,
6:28
here's my car and I dropped you at the bridge terminal. No thanks,
6:30
it's near are Wa and Andrew. Do you in the morning? Standay,
6:32
I give my love to Marry. I will hello, Hello, this is
6:45
get into the wrong car. I don't think so. You're a Gregory whod
6:48
aren't you? Yes, that's what I said on the licensed card on the
6:53
steering clothes. Who are you? Coffee? That's my nixt name. Didn't
7:00
tell me where we're going, Gregory, So listen if you're sure you said
7:03
toppy idea and then listen Tope. I'm the kind of a guy who's more
7:08
than willing to spring along with a gag. But before I say where we're
7:11
going, I'd like you to do one thing for me. What's please switch
7:15
on the overhead life inside the car. You want to make certain I'm not
7:19
too repulsive, rust Claire. What's the verdict? Gregory? Move over top.
7:29
We're going just wherever you say, Guagan Branton, Yes, Lieutenant.
7:45
Anything from the elaborate ports on the jewelry store killings, not a thing.
7:46
Lieutenant never saw a Cleena John. It's like we've got nothing at all to
7:51
go on. Nothing that finish. We've fund of the scene of the murder.
7:56
What is the Lieutenant, You know, I guess it's as good as
7:58
mine. It's think just to hunt a metal to me, he anly swears
8:01
it doesn't belong in the shop, so we must assume the killer dropped him.
8:05
Can I look at us? Yeah, yeah, hmm. Piece of
8:11
metal about six inches long, thick as than a wire, not not shop
8:18
at one end, the ring at the other. Could it be a meat
8:22
steward? Lieutenant No, ask me, sage. Three days since the killing,
8:26
narrow and after exhausted tessol, I've been able to find out is that
8:30
the murder a dropt and wants it. Maybe I should ask Greg Food to
8:33
come in on this one. He was on the scene a few minutes after
8:37
the mother was discovered. Lieutenant h I take it when he said these headquarters
8:41
homicides. I did a lot and speaking yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
8:50
you know what, Lieutenant No, I don't. If I've been on
8:52
my toes, I guess I should have deduced from your conversation, but I
8:56
didn't quite make it. What's happened There's been another robbery killing sounds like the
9:00
same guy down a market. Well, let's get moving and keep your fingers
9:03
from a side that he's left another cloe for us those times, I clodd,
9:07
we'll be able to pick up well, Sandy, the display stuffer is
9:20
ready. The captains of the finish the interior decorator had finally okayed the hang
9:22
of the last drape. I think our store can open tomorrow on schedule.
9:26
I'm very proud of it. If Critain Company has to go into the retail
9:30
market, you couldn't have a better showcase. Yes, as my rooms over
9:33
on yours, Tomain, I feel quite happy by the way, Sandy.
9:35
Look at that watercolor of James super Wright hanging over there. That's a very
9:39
great painter. Have you ever seen such a struckle and yet more exciting blended
9:43
color? Oh? I'm crazy about it. I've been ever since the first
9:46
start. You know I'm playing to buy Mary a Jimmy Wright original for a
9:50
birth. You're a man of taste, Sandy, if only you were worthy
9:54
of Mary. Well, since we're talking about what is technically known as the
9:58
gentler sex, and I ask you if you've seen any more of that girl
10:01
you told me you met the other night. What was your name, Tappy?
10:05
No, no, Sandy, her name was Coffee. Uh, well,
10:07
okay, I don't want to be a little snooper, but I am
10:09
curious. Have you seen a no Sandy. It's one of the dardest things
10:13
that's happened to me. Yet he just showed up out of nowhere. We
10:16
had one of the most delightful evenings I've ever spent, and then she vanished.
10:20
Interisted I'd drop her at the cab stand if you please, but didn't
10:22
to trail the cab. Everybody got away from me. You realize, Sandy,
10:26
that I don't even know a name. You're flipping right here, so
10:28
you're nothing. Envy door it doesn't open to the man. I'm sure you
10:33
knew Carbucci. Oh you mean a night watching Yes, yes, I thought
10:37
it would be a break for him. We're moving a little nearer to the
10:39
center of Oh. Hello, you know good even And are you, mister
10:46
t Gino, coming to look over your new empire? Just to write the
10:50
city, I have fine place, you have the a fine You think you
10:54
liked being night watchman here? Do you know? I thought it would be
10:56
a nice change for you after the warehouse and you know this isn't very hasty
10:58
that the move. All my life by I have wanted to be in the
11:03
fashionable part of the city. And now it's just the way that till I
11:07
tell my mother, shoot me will examogate, Yes, make us a at
11:13
home. You know someone else of the door. You really have built a
11:16
better mouth trapad Lieutenant. Children probably want to preview over the door. All
11:24
right, Hello fans, good to see you. Well, what do you
11:28
think about a new place? It's very nice? Even you look worried,
11:33
fam what's on your mind? This series of robbery killings, right, it's
11:35
getting me down. I'm kidding you have them? No, only you haven't
11:39
got a decent lead. You're sure it's the same color. Certain pattern in
11:43
each case is exactly the same. And that pattern is door is broken into,
11:46
stuff is stolen. Night watchman gets plugged while he's unconscious of dirty right
11:52
stamps in the desk. As the medical examiners report, strange, your average
11:56
feet doesn't feel unless you has to. It sounds like a twisted kind of
12:00
mind. It work. Then here's another thing. At the scene of each
12:03
of the killings, the murderers dropped something. Okay, got to the collection
12:07
so you can make anything else. No, I hadn't want to plain women
12:09
handkerchief initial with a C. No longermind, Well, that's a great help.
12:13
Nearly narrows it out to all the people in San Francisco whose first,
12:18
last, or middle name begins to Suceeed. I know. Well, at
12:20
least I put Greg and me in the clear. What's the item number two?
12:24
Oh, it's a hard jpiece of robin looks like an ear piece for
12:28
sometime that is researching houses. It's an ear piece off a seventh school.
12:31
Ah, the mad doctor. Well that could give you a lead. Well
12:35
it happened, Greg, give you any idea how many doctors there are in
12:39
San Francisco whose initials have a see in them somewhere? Well, I can
12:43
imagine. And these third exhibits. This funny looking piece of metal the part
12:48
of the the scene in the first killing. It's not unlike a meat skewer.
12:54
No, No, it's not that family rings a kind of a bell,
12:58
but I can't quite hear it. Well, then I hang on with
13:01
Greganjun you do hear it, Williams to Night certainly appreciate it. If you
13:05
could help me out on this one. I'm going crazy. Okay, San,
13:07
I'll take it and brood on the matter. You can have it back
13:11
for exhibite, but I'll see if I get any bright ideas in the meantime.
13:13
But don't pin too much faith on me. This really isn't my type
13:16
of case. Hellogory, Coffee, you ought to lost your car, you
13:41
know, I always used to until that night I forgot. Now I leave
13:45
it open, hoping i'll find you here again. Move over, dying.
13:52
I think a bite of suffered the palace is indicated. The lights are so
13:56
discreet, they're admirably shooting to your mystery, your beauty. Man, If
14:01
you're in great form tonight, Gregory. And after that, after that,
14:05
Darling, we might take a drive up to Twin Peak. The view from
14:09
there is quite lovely. I doubt if you've ever seen it, Gregory,
14:13
But come on, let's go. Oh you were actually truthful, Gregory.
14:33
The view is beauce. You're right, Coffee, it's quite beautiful. You
14:39
aren't even lucky. Oh yes, I am. My whole father used to
14:43
say that even the taiz Mahal in the moonlight doesn't compare with the sparkle in
14:46
a beautiful girl's eyes. I wish i'd mister old father, so does he?
14:52
In the meanwhile, how's about his son, darling? What strong coffee?
15:01
If you got me a process raisably that he trips me. Oh,
15:05
it must be this gimmick the fine things for carrying concealed weapons. This isn't
15:13
a weapon, in my sweet It's the vital clue to a murder case.
15:16
The only trouble is no one knows what it is. I bet I know
15:18
what it is. What it's the same for cleaning pipe? No, no,
15:22
no, doublan. The gardget you're thinking of has a much shorter spike,
15:26
and it's got a little spoons, but swooping up the back on all
15:30
thoughts of other dudads on it. My body used to use one just like
15:33
this, he had express to need. It's just for cleaning up the the
15:37
oh you know the middle part of the pipe. You mean the shank.
15:41
So you may be right, afare you're a bright girl, copy. You
15:45
may have helped to solve a murders. There's going to be another murder very
15:48
soon. Graduate. If you're not careful me, what have I done?
15:54
You'll talk too much? Hi fan oh Gregy and brings you over the police
16:11
head corners, you get any brain waves and let the steel gimmick again.
16:15
Yes, Then I went out with a beautiful girl last night. She gave
16:17
me an idea, nothing very surprising. BNN got big court. Then I'm
16:22
talking about the metal of this found that the first murder. But this gal
16:26
suggested it might be a rather special kind of pipe to you. I checked
16:29
on it this morning and learned two interesting texts. The gimmick was made of
16:32
surgical steel and there were traces of chepine on it, So we narrow it
16:36
down still further. San, you're looking for a doctor who has a C
16:38
in his initials and he's also a pipe smoker. PC. You can take
16:45
your choice right, not another murder fan y last night you have the silver
16:49
lighter at the scene of the crime. Left, say you look powder?
16:52
Someone else have a drink to get it for a while. How can I
16:56
forget it? Look, Greg, you're an amateur that sometimes you get a
16:57
bright idea in Calmer as well, and the safety and lives of the city
17:02
don't depend on it. But it's different with me. When are dying great
17:04
four men in the last two weeks and the Lord alone knows where the killer
17:08
is going to strike next or when? And what can I do? Nothing
17:11
except I went still speaking? Yeah but what? Yeah, okay, Bossy,
17:22
I'll be right over. Not another thing. Yes, last night,
17:26
maybe early this morning. Hold on, Gregon, it was your new sword.
17:30
What they murdered your night watchman. You'll hear the rest of gregoryhood story
17:42
and justice. Second, just time for me to tell you the simplest,
17:45
easiest way I know to make a good meal taste better. Serve that meal
17:49
with a glass of good Petrie wine. You're having hamburgers or as swell pot
17:55
roast for dinner, and you just got to try it with Petrie California burgundy.
17:59
That Petrie Burgundy is a hearty red wine. It's just made to go
18:03
with any meat or meat dish. Personally, I think it's great. Now,
18:06
if you're having chicken for dinner, or maybe fish or seafood, then
18:10
by all means, trya Petrie California So turned. Petrie So Turned is a
18:14
subtle, intriguing white wine. That's really something. Believe me, when you
18:18
want a good wine, your cat miss with a Petrie wine. Well,
18:22
Greg this was really got me on the edge of my chair. So the
18:26
murderer sut for a fifth time when he killed you a night one, Yes,
18:29
Kerry Oro Gino Seduci. It was one of my favorite people, and
18:33
I was fighting mad when I heard the news. I called Sandy and told
18:36
him to join at the store, and then Lieutenant Silvers and I raced over
18:37
to the team. As the three of us stood there. I fore a
18:41
silent vows of fish was eve less. Yes, but I do Sandy.
18:47
While I was out having a romantic adventure with a mysterious girl last night,
18:49
or Old Gino was killed protecting my property, and I didn't see that you
18:52
could have done anything to save him. Greg the murderer didn't write a postcard
18:56
and say he was going to be here last night. I know, I
18:57
know ro manifest Place Parallesse. Yeah. Now I've got him on a routine
19:02
gun that may lead us somewhere. What's that was taking on a list of
19:04
every minute go in San Francisco? Who may have the initial CP or PC?
19:08
Did they forgetful murderer leaders any clue this time? Yeah? These few
19:12
pages from an album. Dage and Barton said they were lying beside the body,
19:17
but they're not much help. No fingerprints on him. Let me see
19:21
you, hen see which you make them? I mean, while I'm going
19:23
back to headquarters. I'll be in touch with you later. Okay, then
19:26
okay, well what do you make of the pages? And well they seemed
19:32
to be torn from one of those novels about the calant young doctors and yeah
19:37
he was who kind of disposed or doctors of the Moon. We see those
19:40
stages. Wait a minute, you were wrong? Standis these pages weren't sawn
19:45
from a novel. They're loose sheets. They've never been bound. What does
19:48
that say? I think it tells us where to look for doctor PC or
19:51
TP. Well who you calling? Chose aph Henry Jackson, book editor on
19:53
the Chronicle. I think he can help us, Nica, Joe Jackson,
19:57
I hope you're on the right trail, and so do I. Joe.
20:02
This is Greg Hood. Oh Greg, listen, Joe. I'm in a
20:03
jam. I need some help. Oh no, great, I'm a respectable
20:07
marriage man. No no, no, no, not that kind of a
20:10
jam. I need your professional help. That's a different. What's the problem?
20:12
Am I right in thinking that? Sometimes book reviewers like yourself, I've
20:15
sent unbound pages on a book. Yes, great, they do that occasionally
20:21
one of the regular copies won't be out far and up ahead. Personally,
20:23
I wish publishers would do it more often. I see another question, Joe,
20:27
do you have a reviewer who covers medical books? Someone who's missals might
20:30
be CP or PP. Oh, we have so many part time reviewers.
20:34
Let me see. Yes, there's a doctor Christopher's party. Have you ever
20:41
met in Joe? No, never been in here. We send the stuff
20:44
off to him and he mails a copy back. Doesn't minute, I'll check
20:47
the address. What is all this anyway? Well, Joe, you're well
20:51
known as an authority on factual murder, aren't you? True murders? A
20:53
copyist line? Why well, Joe, don't look now, but I think
20:57
you're just about to fall the murder. Well, Sandy, this is the
21:14
house of doctor Christopher Popping very nice too, you know it's pleasant out here
21:18
in the marina. Yeah, that's gonna ring about her, not since the
21:22
door is un left. The prize is always an advantage when you're dealing with
21:26
the murderers. You really think he's your man. The evidence would points that
21:30
way. Mom, Sanding, keep your eyesop and this guy probably knows all
21:33
the answers. I don't like open doors. This might be trap you s
21:45
see. You should have called the tennis groups. No, no, sanday
21:48
since port Gino got killed, this is a private battle. Mhm. Here's
21:56
the living room so recently occupied by a pipe smoking you another. I don't
22:00
see the pipeline. Look at that ashtray. Lots of ashes and burn matches,
22:04
but no cigarettes. Who is this? Oh hello, Gregory Coffee.
22:15
What on earth are you doing here? I'm gonna tell you that, and
22:17
you tell me how you attract me here? Well, I have my methods.
22:22
By the way, talky, let me introduce my friend s Anderson tables.
22:26
How do you do well? How do you do with miss? I
22:30
think your frienders tracked me here. You really should be able to tell you
22:33
my name, so I be thinking about it. I'll go want to get
22:37
you both a drink. You can tell you could use one, which trend
22:40
is granted. I'll get the number on that phone, slip off of the
22:41
house and go to the nearest public phone and call here, ask for doctor
22:45
Christopher Potting and say, oh why did it? That'll smoke the mouse without
22:48
your having to mention you. That's a good idea, great and then not
22:51
come, I asked the jury. Well that's it. Oh where did your
22:57
finger out? A cigarette? We wanted them? Might haven't notice any here?
23:02
Miss us? Do you like Sincirius Gregory's I'd love a glass copy?
23:10
Neares? Do you live here? Said doctor Partington? Yes, here's you
23:17
assurance. Thank you, Darty. Have you been meeting about these night watsmen
23:22
murders in San Francisco? Yes, Gregory, I've been developing the newspaper reports
23:29
twice their most unusual murders. Miritilla always leaves the clues. Now, these
23:33
flues might be deliberately false one, but I think not. I think it's
23:37
a phenomenon. A psychiatrist might enjoy a murderer subconsciously compelled to betray himself,
23:44
You know, Taffy. They say that absent mindedness is never accidental. It's
23:48
always the result of subconscious desires, do they? Gregory Darling? You dreadfully
23:53
serious? I see you dreadfully serious. You see an old friend of mine
23:57
was murders last night. Excuse me? Hello, yes, species, who's
24:06
this as funny? He hung up? Oh well he asks for doctor Christopher
24:15
Parkington. Didn't he did? He? And you are doctor Schistopher Partington art
24:21
stopis not a common name for a girl, but I've heard of a few
24:23
others. I've heard of Christopher Partington Candy. So that your nickname of Copy
24:27
was another clue, wasn't it, Gregory Darling. I'm afraid I'm losing my
24:33
losing toil, but go on fascinating. I've known of women who privately smoked
24:38
pipes too. That was another clue you gave me, and women doctor a
24:42
commonplace these days. The subconscious is beautifully tricky? Is this topic? Even
24:48
while seeking to betray you, let the series of flues pointed to pipe smoking
24:52
Doctor Partington's all misleading factors not to be associated with a beautiful girl nicknamed Copy.
25:00
You're very silent, doctor Pattington's. I told her not to pretty.
25:07
I kept telling her not to kill those people. She wouldn't listen to me.
25:14
She was a surging, you know, and he loved to use them
25:17
nice But it was too easy for her to fall a night watch. She
25:22
went right away to him, so I had to try to betray her.
25:29
That's why I waited in Norse card that's too nice. I thought I might
25:33
be able to help peach heir who partor Peters. She is bad, very
25:44
bad. She kills people. Kathy Peters, Hee, Peter's only smoke.
25:51
Don't tell me I think of this. That all wrong? After all?
25:52
Where is she? This is this Cathy Peters. Yes, you need inside
26:00
of me. We use the same bodies I did. True, I did
26:10
so want to catch her green. It's all right, Toffee, dear,
26:15
I've thought her to lock her up. Grace. Please, Rock, promise
26:22
you won't let her do those anymore? You will, you quick? You
26:29
don't worry, Coffee. We won't let Cathy Peters kill people, not anymore
26:36
ever, Gregg, I swear this is the strangest case you've ever done.
26:59
And the cat Five innocent men, including my old Friendino, murdered in cold
27:03
blood, and yet you can't hold that girl morally responsible. She never went
27:07
to present scorse. No, Harry, he was obviously an insane schizophrenic,
27:11
a nineteen hundred and forty six deaculine high you wound up in the state institution.
27:17
It was just a psychological misfake. God it, Harry. It was
27:22
a miserable case, you know, grag their time to night. Sure hate
27:26
to be in your issues. Yes, Harry, what leaves the taste.
27:30
But as my old father would say, when you cry over a woman,
27:33
there's always another woman ready to wipe away the tears. Now, you can't
27:37
dismiss it that easily. Greg. When you fall, I know that you
27:38
fall. But good, Yes, Harry, you and I were the kind
27:41
of fellows who decided to like something. And well that's that. That's right.
27:45
I'll never forget the night I no, but you don't want to hear
27:48
about it, but I do the night you past. The first night I
27:52
be sure, of course, the first night I tasted Petrie wine, I
27:57
said that's the wine for me, and assure it I should have known.
28:00
Yes, Petrie wine is a wine for everybody because it's good wine. It's
28:04
got to be look at the long years of skill and experience and go into
28:08
its making. The Petrie family has been making wine for generations. Wine making
28:14
is their heritage, a heritage handed on down from father to son, from
28:18
father to son. So you can see why the Petrie business has grown and
28:23
grown though that today the Petrie family are America's largest independent wine maker. Yes,
28:30
the making of Petrie wine is a family affair, and the Petrie family
28:33
has every intention of keeping it just that. So you know, the name
28:37
Petrie on a bottle of wine is more than a trademark. It's the personal
28:41
assurance of the Petrie family that Petree wine is and always will be good wine.
28:48
Well, Greg, me what story from your case book? If you
28:51
lined up for us next week? Next week, Harry, I'm going to
28:52
tell you of an odd adventure that Sandy and I had as we were flying
28:56
to New York a few months ago. It concerns the Southern Colonel and an
29:00
usually attractive girls and an elusive piece of ice. I told the story the
29:04
Double Diamond. You next Monday, Harry. The Case Book of Gregory Hood
29:27
is written by Dennis Green and Anthony Boucher. Original music composed and played by
29:33
Dean Foxler. Gale Gordon plays the part of Gregory Hood, and Sanderson Taylor
29:37
is played by Howard mcneer. The Petrie Wine Company of San Francisco, California
29:51
invites you to tune in again next week, same time, same station.
29:55
The Case Book of Gregory Hood comes to you from our Hollywood studio. This
30:03
is Harry Bartel saying good night for the Petrie family. Welcome back. Well,
30:08
I really a bit of a bittersweet ending there. I have to admit,
30:14
usually Harry Bartell as great as the ad pitch guy for Petrie, but
30:22
in this case I don't think that there was a how shall we say,
30:26
delicate or even appropriate way to segue his comments as he did. But be
30:34
that as it may, it was a pretty solid episode, though I expect
30:38
though I suspected a toffee from the moment that she showed up just because of
30:45
where and how she showed up in the story. But of course what throws
30:48
you off is for giving a clue and so a good case. And we
30:56
have one more Gil Gordon program to go, so be sure and listen to
30:59
that next week. All right, listener comments and feedback, and we'll read
31:03
a few. First of all, we have this from Doug keep up the
31:10
great work, Adam. Your podcast helps make my daily commute bearable. Johnny
31:14
Dollar is one of my favorites, and he says, I've been listening for
31:19
about two years now and have really enjoyed your podcast and the shows you've covered.
31:25
Keep up the good work, and John says, thank you, I
31:29
really enjoy the content. Well, thanks so much. I truly appreciate that.
31:33
And then we have a comment from Christine, who says I am slowly
31:37
catching up in the podcast I am on November twenty ten, I was wondering
31:41
if you could put any announcements on your blog or here for those of us
31:45
who are behind, we can still keep up with what is going on with
31:49
the podcast. I'm hoping by the end of the year I will be caught
31:53
up. Well. Thanks so much, And that's a good reminder, and
31:56
I will make every effort to go a head and to do that because I
32:04
do know a lot of folks listen to it from behind, and I hadn't
32:07
even done very much like regarding listener support campaign but I'll try and get stuff
32:13
over at Facebook regarding listener support campaigns and books and things of that sort.
32:21
I would probably also suggest that if you're starting from the show, starting on
32:24
the show from the beginning, you could listen to the Tuesday episode as well
32:32
to get a feeling for what's going on currently, just because the Tuesday shows
32:37
tend to be short and we tend to rotate them quite frequently. But regardless,
32:43
I appreciate the reminder to be using the Facebook page for communicating that.
32:49
And we have twenty eight hundred thirty four fans there, so I truly appreciate
32:54
everyone who's part of that part of our community. All right, well,
33:00
we will be back tomorrow continuing on with yours truly, Johnny Dollar, and
33:06
then next week the last Gil Gordon episode of the Casebook of Gregory Hood.
33:12
