Well, now we continue on with the open town matter of parts three and
1:27
four from Hollywood. It's time now for Johnny Dollar. How are you making
1:36
out, Johnny boy? Who is this? Disappoint me? Johnny? You
1:38
want to recognize the condition of not the voice Joe Crinley, Yeah, the
1:44
drunken reporter on the daily Era. I want to talk to you. Where
1:47
are you? No? Not tonight? Why not? In ten minutes?
1:49
You'd have me shoot my big mouth off about the rackets here and the murder
1:53
of the honorable Chief of police and the peculiar marls of his lovely young wife
1:59
and Joe listen. And last, but not least, the ethical and philosophical
2:02
problems of an intellectual lush a reformed idealist. Once or even twice an hour
2:08
ago, in front of city Hall, somebody fired five shots at me.
2:13
Joe, are you there? Beat it? Johnny, grab a plane,
2:17
train, bus, or walk, But get out now when they put the
2:21
finger on it sticks. Greensport, boy, is a wide open town tonight
2:32
and every weekday night. Bob Bailey in the Transcribed Adventures of the Man with
2:38
the Action Pact expensercout America's Fabulous Freelance Insurance Investigator, Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar,
2:57
from Special Investigator Johnny Dollar, Locations, Missouri to the home office,
3:01
Great Plains Guarantee Company, Hertford, Connecticut. Assignment The Open Town Matter Expenser
3:07
count continued. Item seven dollars and eighty five cents taxi to the home of
3:17
the Mayor of Greensport, Will Lyons. I decided to go straight to headquarters,
3:22
so to speak. Joe Crayley, professional reporter and semi pro drunk,
3:25
might have been able to help, but I didn't know where to find him.
3:29
So far. I had a lot of questions, no answers. Police
3:32
Chief Ed Blake had been shot to death in his own home with his own
3:36
gun. His young widow Marty and city Attorney Dave Sherman had been present,
3:39
and both told the same story mysterious prowler. Supposedly the prowler was Shorty Wells,
3:46
an ex convict with a grudge against the murdered chief. But Shorty was
3:50
missing and the case was at a standstill. So I went right to the
3:53
top to may Allons, come in, miss come right in. Thanks.
4:01
My wife has got out this evening and committee meeting at the Women's Club.
4:05
We can talk here in the library if you don't mind, right fine,
4:09
take a chair there. Yeah, well, mister Dollar, I will say
4:14
it's a pleasure to see you safe from sound or you heard about the shooting.
4:17
Then I heard the shots from my office and the acting Chief of Police
4:20
phoned me a few minutes later, Well, does he know yet? Who
4:24
did it? Not the slightest. There were no witnesses, at least none
4:28
who cared to talk. Carr took off at high speed and then just disappeared,
4:32
like shorty wells fine. I sympathize with your feelings, mister Dollar.
4:38
I'd feel the same way if I had been made a target of But you
4:41
can rest, as short sir, that every facility of law enforcement in this
4:45
town is working round the clock to bring the culprits to justice. Yeah.
4:48
That's very comforting, man, But actually I'm not sure I was the target.
4:54
What do you mean? Well, when I left you and Dave Sherman
4:57
and came out onto the sidewalk, Mardy Blake was when for me in a
5:00
car part of the curb. She'd been there about twenty minutes. She told
5:03
me, yes, but let the fire those shots had the setup plan worked
5:08
out, and I don't think they could very well a plant it for me.
5:11
Why not? My schedule wasn't predictable enough. They didn't know when i'd
5:15
leave City Hall, whether i'd be a loan or not, or what I
5:16
do when I stepped outside. It's a point all right. My day,
5:19
on the other hand, had been there for twenty minutes, plenty of time
5:23
to arrange the thing. But why why should anyone want to kill her?
5:27
There? You got me? I don't know. After the shooting, of
5:30
course, I had a police officer assigned to god duty at her home,
5:32
but I regarded it as merely a routine precaution. I was certain that the
5:36
attempt was made on your life, mister Dollar. Well, those bullets came
5:40
too close to both of us for very much peace of mind. Well,
5:43
at least missus Blake has protection now, oh yeah, yeah, unless that
5:47
police officer himself knocks her all. Well, you're joking, of course,
5:54
Maya. That's the worst thing about this whole case. I don't know whether
5:57
I'm joking or not, But surely you don't say you are you certain of
6:00
which ones you can trust in the attorney's office, the police force, in
6:03
your own department, even not entirely. No, the rackets as wide open
6:09
as they are here, some of the men around you are bound to be
6:12
involved. I know. It stands to reason every raid we've ever attempted has
6:16
been tipped off before we even got started. Blake tried while he was alive.
6:21
Dave Sherman tried. I even organized to myself, told nobody about them,
6:27
brought in state police to carry them out, same results. Say what
6:30
about Blake? He must have been in with a mob to live on that
6:33
lavish scale he did, I suppose so. Dave and I suspected him at
6:38
times, but we could never turn up any actual evidence. Were he in
6:42
the city attorney friends ed and Dave. No, they couldn't get along at
6:46
all. And yet the night Blake was shot, Dave Sherman was staying overnight
6:49
in his home. Yes, I know, I've thought myself. It was
6:54
a little odd. Dave says. Blake had asked him to invited him to
6:59
go on a fishing trip the next morning, a fishing trip, and yet
7:02
they couldn't get along. Why. No, I can't explain it any more
7:06
than you can. Any chance Dave Sherman was the intended victim that night instead
7:11
of Blake. I really don't see how mister dollar in viewed the circumstances.
7:15
Blake was killed when he heard a prowler and went downstairs to investigate. No
7:19
one could have expected Dave to do something like that. No, No,
7:23
I guess not. It was just an idea. I've thought of all kinds
7:26
of outlandish possibilities myself, but it always comes back to the same thing.
7:30
Shorty Wells. Yeah, the ex convict who swore he'd get Blake when he
7:34
went to prison. He was proled just a week before mister Dollar, and
7:39
he was seen in town the day before the killing, and nobody has found
7:43
hiding nor hear of him since. Yeah. Yeah, it adds up all
7:46
right, But somehow I still can't buy it. Maybe it just adds up
7:49
a little too well. Three forces of the criminals who are sentenced make threats
7:54
like that, but it's a rare one who carries it out. Rare,
7:57
yes, but not true. He's a strong possibility. But when I hit
8:03
town this afternoon, I thought Marty Blake was a strong possibility until the city
8:07
attorney himself came up with an airtiight alibi for her. Why did you suspect
8:11
her? Mister Dollar insurance a fifty thousand dollar policy on Blake's life his whyfe's
8:15
the beneficiary? Well, I don't imagine fifty thousand The last missus Blake very
8:20
long? They tell me something, mayor are she and Dave Sherman close friends
8:26
at one time. Yes, In fact, Dave was pretty serious about her,
8:31
But after she married Blake last year, Dave turned against her completely.
8:33
I see. I don't think he'd risk an alibi for her out of friendship,
8:37
if that's what you're thinking. Oh, I don't know exactly what I'm
8:41
thinking. Mostly I'm just guessing. I've been doing that two years now,
8:46
mister dollar, guessing, figuring, trying to spot the leader behind these rackets,
8:50
not knowing which officials I could trust. Mayor is Dave Sherman one of
8:56
those you can trust? I'm not sure. Good evening, missus Blake.
9:09
Wow, this is a surprise. Come in, Johnny, join the party.
9:15
Thanks, because I'm the party. There isn't anybody else kept my watchdog
9:20
sitting out there in front? Yeah? I saw him. Cute, isn't
9:24
he? I didn't notice I did. I think that's terrible, Johnny,
9:28
A girl who's been a widow four days noticing another guy? Why not?
9:33
You didn't care anything about your husband? That's right, I didn't. Here's
9:37
to all husbands, may they rest in peace. He's a cute cowpboard,
9:46
you know what. I asked him to come inside and have a drink with
9:48
me, and he actually blushed and stammered that wasn't that cute? Devastating?
9:56
Would you blush and stammer, Johnny? No, I take a drink,
10:00
which I will, by the way, if you don't want here, make
10:01
me another one too. What's the reason for this one woman celebration? Missus
10:09
Blake? I said what I heard you, and you can call me Marty
10:15
if you want me to answer you, Marty? Why have a lonesome gal
10:18
routine? It's not so lonesome now, Johnny. Oh, here's your drink.
10:26
He's to getting shot at shot at how Marty, like we were this
10:31
afternoon, or like your husband? Everybody can't be lucky. Maybe I just
10:35
didn't live right. Well, I mean he's not living anyway. Now.
10:41
I'll bet you know how to live, Johnny. Oh, sure, I
10:43
got a system. Tell me about it. Well, the first thing I
10:48
do is hook up with the rackets so I can buy my wife lots of
10:50
expensive kids. Why don't you lay off that stuff? Why don't you try
10:54
being nice for a change. Well, it's not part of my system.
11:00
God didn't kill him, you know that now, So why don't you relax
11:03
and be human? Oh? The last time I relaxed around you. I
11:07
caught the breeze off of five bullets. You're breathing, aren't you? I
11:11
might not be if they'd been after me instead of you. So he's stealing
11:15
that kick? Oh, it figures, Mardy. I'm no threat to anybody,
11:16
not yet. I don't know enough about this mess, and you're saying
11:20
I do. I suppose I think so? Now? Who'd want to get
11:24
you out of the way, Marty? To keep you from talking? Maybe?
11:28
Don't you ever give up? All right? Tell me this. Did
11:31
Dave Sherman really see that shooting? Or is he just giving you an alibi?
11:35
Why don't you ask him? Or is he giving himself an alibi?
11:37
By any chance? You're crazy? Maybe? Where short he was? I
11:43
said, where is short? I heard what you said? Well, and
11:45
suppose you turned out? What are you so upset to get out of here
11:48
right this minute? Get out? Or so help me up to take it?
11:50
Easy money? What's that cute cop going to think? I don't care
11:54
what anybody thinks. You get out of here and get out fast? Nine
12:01
am nine fourteen dollars and forty cents drinks, tips and transportation or a local
12:05
expedition and plain and fancy pub crawling. I was looking for Joe Craley,
12:11
dissolution idealist, a nice y reporter on the Green Sport Daily Herald. I
12:15
found him on my third martini. He was on a seven. Oh,
12:18
Johnny, how'd you do it to? What? How'd you find me?
12:24
Called your paper? I gave me a list of your hangouts. I had
12:26
four more to go. The reputation is a wonderful thing, keeps you from
12:31
staying off the straight and narrow. He is looking at you, right,
12:39
Joe, tell me about Martin. Tell you what about it? Everything you
12:43
know? Of course she's got an alibi. Oh yeah, I know,
12:46
I know about it. But you still won't give up. Well, she
12:52
hates champagne, but she always orders it. Why because it costs more?
12:58
I see. She's every man's dream, Johnny. A pink and gold doll
13:03
and spangled tights, and she's a four star tramp. She's an next answer,
13:07
isn't she? She's an ex lot of things? Ex girlfriend of Shorty
13:11
Wells, ex girlfriend girlfriend of Shorty well sure ed Blake took her away from
13:18
him. That's why Shorty threatened to kill him, said Blake was framing him.
13:22
Maybe he was. I don't know anything could have happened with the police
13:26
they got in this time crooked? Is that what you're trying to say?
13:28
Some of them are that. The rest of them are useless. Like that
13:33
business with the gun? What gun that d Blake was shot with? They
13:37
found a line beside his body, his own gun. They just assumed he
13:41
shot it out with the killer. It was two days before they realized he'd
13:45
been shot with that gun. That Blake hadn't used it. The killer had
13:48
Wait a minute, do you think Shorty Wells and Marty could have planned the
13:52
thing to get him? Johnny? I wouldn't put anything past that name.
13:56
Why do you hate her so much? To him? Yes? Again?
14:00
And my friend, I don't hate her. I'm in love with her always
14:03
will be. Joe. Yeah, before she met Shorty well she used to
14:09
be my girl. It gives you something to think about, doesn't it,
14:13
Johnny? Johnny Deller? Hello, Hello, Johnny? Yeah, who's calling
14:41
Hello? Hang on a second, Johnny, Look what the devil is that
14:45
you? Joe? Joe? Sorry to keep you waiting, Johnny. I
14:48
was trying to get all the dope on another phone. What Joe? And
14:52
how to just sober up? So fast. It's a big story, breaking
14:54
boy, unless you or not, I'm still a reporter. Then go somewhere
14:56
and report I'm going to bed. You want to bet? Look, Joe,
15:00
Oh, and he sleeps in Greensport, Johnny. It's a wide open
15:03
town racket shooting's a murdered police chief with a lovely widow. Sure, fine,
15:07
So what's the big story? A fire? Boy, house burning down,
15:09
flames fifty feet high, three alarms, Put your clothes on and let's
15:13
get going. You get going. The only big story I'll be interested in
15:16
is when Marty Blake is charged with murder. Johnny. That's where the fire
15:20
is at Marty Blake's From Special Investigator Johnny dollar location Greensport, Missouri to the
15:35
home office Great Plains Guarantee Company, Hartford, Connecticut. Assignment the open town
15:39
matter expense, accunt continued. Itam ten a dollar and a half for a
15:48
breakneck taxi right to Marty Blake's home, its location marked against the night sky
15:52
by a pillar of flame visible for a mile. The fire didn't make sense,
15:56
so it fit in nicely with the rest of the case. None of
15:58
it made sense. The police chief had Blake, Marty's middle aged husband of
16:02
eight months have been shot to death in his own home with his own gun,
16:04
and less than twenty four hours later, Marty had filed claim on his
16:07
fifty thousand dollars life insurance policy. She didn't love him and admitted it good
16:12
case, except for one thing. The city attorney himself was present at the
16:17
time of the shooting and backed up Mardy's story of a mysterious prowler, supposedly
16:19
ex convict Shorty Wells. But Shorty was missing, and the whole thing was
16:25
just a little too convenient, too pat especially in a wide open town.
16:33
Joe Crailey was going to meet me at the fire, but I didn't see
16:36
him around. The Fians were taking a strong hold and the whole outside of
16:40
the house was blazing. The fireman couldn't do much except try to control it
16:42
him from spreading. And the whole back of clouds that had collected on the
16:45
street and lawns. Oh, how do you figure this one, mister Dollar?
16:49
And on how that's present? Was City Attorney Dave Sherman, And you
16:53
wanted to get things stirred up, and they seemed to be stirred all right.
16:57
Were you here when this Hammond, mister sherm No this time, I'm
17:00
not a witness for the defense. I arrived after the firing. Yeah,
17:03
what about money. She's all right, she got out before it really caught,
17:08
sitting over there in my car. Then she was here when it started.
17:12
Yeah, alone, so it seems. But there was a police officer
17:17
on. God, y, I thought you meant alone in the house.
17:19
Now he was out here in front. The first thing he knew, flames
17:22
were breaking out of the windows. And then Marty came running out of the
17:26
house. No one had arrived and left a not that he saw. You're
17:30
still trying to tag her. Huh. Oh, I'm trying to take whoever
17:33
is skilledy. She figures that's all not on the shooting. Oh, I'm
17:37
not with the alibi you've given her. That's the dollar. Look, she
17:42
was standing ten feet away from me in the second floor hall when ed Blake
17:47
was shot to death in the dark downstairs. Now that is not an alibi,
17:52
It is a fact. Ah, yeah, sure I know, unless,
17:55
of course I'm lying. All right? Are you why her? Old
18:00
time sake? Maybe you were in lover that want, mister Sherman. Oh,
18:03
I got named two dozen guys around this town who were once. Yeah,
18:07
Shorty Wells, for instance. That's right, That's why Shorty threatened to
18:11
kill Blake when Blake sent in a prisoner. He claimed he was being framed
18:15
out of the way to give Blake a clear field. Gone, Shorty's a
18:18
hudlerm He was guilty as charged, all right. But Blake was in on
18:22
the rackets, wasn't all It would seem that way. Then there's also Joe
18:26
Craley. Marty was his girl at one time, wasn't she. That's when
18:30
he started drinking when she threw him over. Why did she throw him over
18:33
for the usual reason. Somebody knew who? Well me, I thought.
18:41
Took me three months to find out that I was running interference for Shorty well
18:45
All right, So Joe Crayley took to drink. What did you take to
18:48
mister Sherman law enforcement. I set out to break the rackets in this town
18:52
and get rid of hoodlums like Shorty Wells and all the rest of them.
18:56
Yeah, but the rackets are still here and I'm still trying dollar. Oh
19:00
look, I want to get one thing very straight. What ed Blake's killing?
19:06
It happened just exactly the way I told you that story. Is true.
19:10
Marty didn't do it? Maybe not, but she's in it some way,
19:12
She's bound of me. Well that's something I wouldn't know. Everywhere you
19:17
turn in this case, you keep hearing about Marty Blake. Marty Blake,
19:19
she's a one link that ties everything together. There. Oh, maybe that
19:22
fire there? What's the story on that? Why didn't you ask her?
19:30
I left him standing there, staring into the fire, staring into his own
19:33
pass. Maybe I didn't know. To me was still a puzzle question mark,
19:38
and I didn't have the answer to him, not a much else.
19:41
In fact, if he was telling the truth, Marty Blake couldn't have killed
19:45
her husband, And so far, at least there was nothing to show he
19:48
was lying. I pushed on through the crowd of spectators, the thrill seekers,
19:52
the morbidly curious followers of fire engines, and walked towards Sherman's car.
19:56
Marty was sitting there along, subdued for once clot and she looks scared.
20:03
Hello, Johnny, get in and sit with me, all right, Just
20:12
look at it. Isn't it terrible? It is be worse if you were
20:17
in it when I was, when it started? Just how did it start?
20:19
I don't know. I think you were right, Johnny about that shooting
20:25
in front of the city Hall. Oh, I think it was me they
20:26
were after, not you. Now they've tried again. Possible, there's no
20:32
other reason for burning down my home. Who do you mean by they?
20:36
Mighty? Who? I don't know who ever killed it? I guess if
20:40
you know, you'd better tell me why. You still can't if somebody is
20:44
out to get you, if that's what's behind all this, then they obviously
20:47
mean business. I don't know, Johnny, I told you that. Well,
20:49
how about a guess that? Oh? Maybe Shorty Wells. I don't
20:52
know why. Why the man he threatened is already dead. Why would he
20:56
go after you? Maybe to get even? He told he hated me when
21:00
I broke off with him. It's just the kind of thing you think of
21:02
doing. Or didn't you know he was in love with me once? Oh?
21:06
I know, I'm asking you. How did the fire start? I
21:08
don't know really. After you left this evening, I lay down on a
21:12
sofa. I've been drinking, as you know, and I guess I just
21:18
went to sleep. Anyway. No one else had been there after I left,
21:21
No anyway, I woke up with smoke all around and flames and all.
21:25
It was terrible, Johnny. I was just lucky I got out alive.
21:29
You always were lucky, Marty. Joe, what are you doing here?
21:32
How about it? Johnny? You glad I phone or not? Oh?
21:34
Yeah, sure, I wouldn't have missed it for a million? Has
21:37
she confessed yet? We can run a new headline on the extra she has?
21:40
I can do without any remarks from you. Joe. Sure you can,
21:42
Baby, You're doing fine, just as you are. Get away from
21:45
here and leave me alone. Can't do it, baby, I'm assigned to
21:48
cover the fire. Gotta get all the angles. Human interests. That's you,
21:51
baby, You are human, aren't you? You? Stupid fool?
21:56
Financial angles too, got one there you might be interested in, Johnny.
21:59
Did you know that house is heavily insured against fire? Yes? Yes,
22:02
I know, Joe. I checked through the company report before I left the
22:04
hotel. What of it? What if it is? Most houses are insured
22:08
against fire, aren't they? Sure? They are? Especially by prudent people
22:11
like you, people who think of everything. Take it easy show, Get
22:15
them away from here, Johnny. Oh you didn't think of everything, baby?
22:18
What it's too bad your car wasn't in the garage instead of sitting out
22:21
in the driveway, then all your assets would have been converted into cash,
22:25
nice green, bloody cash. Get away from me, Get away and leave
22:29
me alone. Why, baby, you can afford me now, you couldn't
22:30
a couple of years ago. That's why you're tied up with all the other
22:34
What the devil? He came from the house? Well, they couldn't immun
22:37
issue maybe, yeah, your husband must have kept boxes of cartridges in the
22:41
house. Look thereby the cellar door. Somebody staggering up out of the basement,
22:45
Johnny looking. He's got a gun in his hand, can't he's falling
22:48
down on the ground. Come on, Joe, oh man, when the
22:56
damn breaks, everything goes. How could anybody come out of that thing alive?
23:00
Greensporters and tough cookies, I mean, unlucky. Apparently he's passed out
23:07
cold. Another minute, he wouldn't have made it. His clothes are smoldering.
23:10
Yeah, let's turn them over again. Get coat off right easy?
23:14
Now? Oh good lord, what's the matter? This is the boy everybody
23:22
in town has been looking for. Shorty Wells, Room six oh four,
23:32
Greensports City Hospital. Time midnight the time when the pulsive living starts to slow
23:37
down, the beginning of the quiet, time, when the city sleeps and
23:42
the nurses and interns walk even more softly, When a ticking clock becomes a
23:48
drum beat in the ears of restless patience. The time of crises, when
23:52
battles for life are fought in silence and one are lost. A battle like
23:59
that was being fo and six so four witnessed at the moment by myself and
24:03
City Attorney Dave Sherman. All. This is always the tough part and the
24:11
slow part of waiting it at maybe a long wait, mister Sherman, he
24:17
ondly three hours and he still hasn't regained consciousness. You know, I can't
24:21
understand where he's been hiding out since Blake was shure. Yeah, I'm not
24:25
hard to tell. I've turned his tongue upside down. I tell you,
24:27
I just can't understand it. Oh, I can't understand a lot of things.
24:32
It's just another one of a lot of things about this case. They're
24:34
hard to figure out. All let's tie up with the rackets. That's and
24:38
I'm sure I'm not sure if anything about this mess. So if we could
24:42
just tag the person behind them. We gotta wrap it up if we get
24:45
only excuse me, Dave Sherman's being Oh guess ma'am ah. Doctor Morton says
24:56
he may hang on for a day or two. As far as pulling,
25:00
he hasn't got much chance. Oh, he hasn't been conscious at all yet.
25:07
Yes, yes, I'll keep in touch on it. You know,
25:10
the minute isn't all right? Maya good night, may l answer. Yeah,
25:18
he's a real fuss budget Sometimes you got to go to bed. Wait
25:22
a second, he's trying to talk. Mm hmm, false alarm again.
25:32
Dollar. Do you think he started that? Oh? I don't know if
25:37
he did. He got caught in his own trap. I just can't figure
25:40
out what he'd hope to gain by doing it by Has he been able to
25:47
talk yet? Not yet? You get your story fun just under the wire.
25:52
Of course. It insisted mainly of questions. Well, Shorty Wells has
25:57
the answers if you were only able to give him out. I can't figure
26:03
him firing those shots, Johnny, I can't either. He fired them before
26:07
he came out of the blaze. He apparently wasn't trying to shoot anyone.
26:10
He couldn't even see anyone the ways burn. I'm afraid all we can do
26:14
is wait. At least we don't know the whole story once he's able to
26:18
talk. Suppose he never is able. Well, he's the only lead we've
26:23
had, and he's the only one we've got. Now the whole case is
26:29
lying right there on that bed. If Shorty Wells dies without regaining consciousness,
26:34
then we can drop it and forget it because we're beat. Now here's our
26:53
star to tell you about the final episode of this week's story. Tomorrow.
26:57
Death strikes again, lashes out violently and mistakes its target, and a wide
27:03
open town blows sky high. Join us, won't you? Yours Truly?
27:08
Johnny Dollar? Yours Truly Johnny Dollar is starring Bob Bailey, is transcribed in
27:23
Hollywood, written by Les Crutchfield. It is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone.
27:30
Be sure to join us tomorrow night at the same time and station for
27:33
the next exciting episode of Yours Truly Johnny Dollar. Roy Rowan speaking welcome back
27:47
to me, Well, Johnny, has I think been rot to seemingly suspect
27:52
everybody. I think there's at least one person he's overlooked. I won't say
27:56
who, because I don't want to spoil it, but and I could also
28:00
be on the wrong track. I don't remember exactly how this particular story ends.
28:06
Might be something to think about ahead of the finale on Friday. And
28:10
now on to listener comments and FEEDBACKT two tester H two O tester comments on
28:18
iTunes. I listened to Old Time Radio as a kid, and it's fantastic
28:23
to get to hear it again. Johnny Dollar is new to me, but
28:26
I've been loving every episode I've heard. Thanks Adam, well, thanks so
28:30
much. And I have to say that most of these programs we play here
28:36
are new to me, particularly the longer show some of the shorter ones.
28:42
I've heard all of the episodes before at one time or another, but series
28:47
like The Lineup and Nick Carter were past the point where I've listened to the
28:51
episodes previously, so I'm discovering them with you as well, and it's great
28:57
to be able to discover those for the first time. All right, Well,
29:02
that will do it for today. We'll be back on Friday with the
29:06
conclusion of the Open Town matter and join us tomorrow for Nick Carter. In
