slash Radio Detectives. Well, before we get started, I want to encourage
0:54
you. If you enjoy great audio entertainment, be sure and check out our
1:00
audiobooks Tales of the Dim Knot and Fly Another Day. They're great superhero comedies.
1:07
If you enjoyed classic superhero stories, you'll enjoy them, and Scott Wilcox
1:11
does a great job at bringing all the various characters to life. They are
1:17
both available for DOWNLOADAI. They're in the iTunes store or through audible dot com.
1:23
And that's Tales of the Dim Knot in Fly Another Day. Well,
1:26
now we embark on a new series. This one's going to be a short
1:30
run program, So if you like it, we have a grand total of
1:36
three weeks. If you don't like it, now, we're only going to
1:38
be running it for three weeks. The program premiered in May of nineteen fifty.
1:47
This first episode we have Is from May the seventh of nineteen fifty and
1:53
the series would go off the air five months later. The program stars Henry
1:57
Calvin. Calvin is best known for playing the role of Sergeant Garcia on the
2:05
nineteen fifties Disney Zoro program, and he had a few other guest appearances in
2:12
other programs, including now. My favorite one that I've seen of him was
2:16
one where he appeared on The Dick Van Dyke Show in an episode called the
2:21
Sam Pomerant Scandals, and Calvin, who is quite fittingly for this role,
2:28
fairly large impersonated Oliver Hardy, with a Dick Van Dyke doing Stan Laurel.
2:36
The program itself is a very interesting concept, partially because it features a detective
2:44
who's also a father. Now, certainly this wasn't unheard of, but it
2:47
was pretty rare. You know. Of course, there was Charlie Chen and
2:53
is somewhat extraordinary group of children. But this program, I think is a
3:00
little bit different and maybe a little bit closer to the reality of a dedicated
3:07
father as a private detective and widower. Well, that said, let's go
3:14
ahead and listen to and enjoy this episode. Here now is the big guy,
3:19
the unheard voice. No, how tall are you, Papa? Tell
3:30
us how tall? I'm twenty foot five in my stocking feet? How big
3:35
are your shoe? What sight you wear? Shi is nine hundred and two
3:38
in a triple Z. That's our Papa. The Big Guy. NBC presents
3:52
The Big Guy, the first of the new series of adventures of a very
3:55
unusual detective, Joshua Sharp. Joshua Sharp works for his clients on a strictly
4:01
cash basis to provide for the needs of his nearest and dearest. His nearest
4:08
and dearest are two in number, josh Junior and his daughter Debbi. To
4:13
these two, Sharp is both father and mother to his clients. He is
4:17
a good detective to josh and Debbi. He's the friendly magician, the fabulous
4:23
hero, the giant among giants, The Big Guy. The Night's Adventure with
4:32
The Big Guy. The unheard Voice. People who think that children don't fall
4:46
in love just don't know children. I know mine, and I have seen
4:51
it. They fall, and they fall hard with all their hearts and souls.
4:57
And if by any chance the romance goes wrong, the bottom falls out
5:00
of their world. A dream collapses, and the mark is left that may
5:04
last forever. My kids, Debbie and Josh Ellen loved with little mister Dooley
5:12
on site. Of course, he had his charms. He took tickets at
5:17
the carousel and the park, and naturally he was the logical object of love
5:23
for everyone in the neighborhood under the age of ten. Saturday was Dooley Day,
5:30
and for weeks and weeks nothing had been able to distract my two from
5:33
paying a call on the recal faced gnome of a man in his red checkered
5:38
shirt and his baggy corduroy pants. I'd take them to the park and across
5:44
the lawns, but no sooner were they inside of their idol than they'd break
5:47
loose from me and make a run car in a pittish thing and fitted a
5:58
pittish kick, and the player too. It isn't a pretty David Jully.
6:03
He is pretty, you are high, and his shield from piss enough and
6:09
enough to make a man dancing to the dig. Oh, look at mister
6:13
Dooley, He's dancing, dance, dance, very nice. Damned to look
6:17
niger ship, I got a bone in the food. What mister Dooley's got
6:24
a bone in his shoot? Oh? That's nothing to worry about. Everybody
6:27
has a phone in his foot it's a joke, gosh show. I'm sure
6:31
the boy in your footy fry. You choke, daddy, I aggy and
6:36
I tried your dimes and let's go, Debbie. I'll help you up there
6:43
we are. I gotta find myself. He's dying for you, mister Dewey.
6:46
All that dimey for me. It's for the horses. They gotta eat.
6:50
You know why they don't have to hit there one, mister Dewey's only
6:56
can they? You? Mister do it hidden? Indeed, why you were,
7:00
would you you'd find a nice handful of praise? Shall dust take it
7:03
pretty good? After a fast day've run around in circles? Story, here
7:09
we go, everybody old tide there all yes, they're all the dory.
7:43
And then one Saturday morning, Tragedies Frock. It was on page two and
7:51
the lead told the story Bond Avenue Mansion, Rock, home of broker Jacob
7:57
Jansen looted in his absence by a masked burg butler held at gunpoint. City
8:01
detective Walsh Reynolds arrests former Jansen employee Willie Dooley. Willie Dooley, Josh and
8:09
Debby's friend of the carrousel. Once, I'd had to tell Josh that his
8:18
puppy was dead, and he'd asked a lot of questions through his tears that
8:22
neither I nor any other man could answer. Before approaching the subject of mister
8:26
Dooley's dilemma, I thought I'd better have full detailed, so I took a
8:31
cab down to Detective Reynold's office at Precinct Headquarters. I'd known him casually for
8:35
years, and he told me what he knew all. A call came in
8:39
last night, a little after eleven shop from whom they Jansen Butler gave his
8:45
name as Anton Schindler. The burglar had held him up while he opened a
8:48
safe in the library and helped himself to what unlisted negotiable bonds in the amount
8:54
of fifty thousand dollars. Fifty thousand dollars we tag to Jannsen. He's in
9:01
Bermuda. Do you really think mister Dooley did at Reynolds. No, I
9:05
don't think he didn't. And why did you pick him up? Well,
9:09
I didn't pick him up. A couple of my boys brought him in and
9:11
They've built a case against him that I can't ignore. What kind of case.
9:16
Oh, he used to work in Johnson's house, so kind of janitor?
9:18
I think, Yes, he knew the layout of the house and the
9:22
habits of the family. That hardly means he did the robbery. Well,
9:24
of course it doesn't. But whoever did knew that the side door was always
9:28
left open, that was the means of entry. Yes, you add all
9:33
this together and include the fact that Dooley was seen in the neighborhood fifteen minutes
9:37
before the mass burglar went to work, and you've got a fair police case.
9:41
Yes, I can see that. Has the butler identified Dooley as his
9:46
assailant. Shindler hasn't been in yet, and it largely depends on Schindler's testimony
9:52
whether the little man is indicted or not. I'd say it depends on it
9:54
entirely. I'd think it would be a little difficult to identifier masked burglar.
10:00
Frankly, so would I about Dooley? Yes? Is he alone in the
10:05
world? No, No, there's a wife, missus Armah Duley. She's
10:09
practically frantic about this business. Sharp She's coming in in a few and doesn't
10:13
talk to me. I see whop Reynolds. Yes, don't jump to any
10:18
conclusions. You don't have tom. Am I right in thinking you've got an
10:22
interest in mister Dooley. Why, yes, yes, you're right. I
10:28
don't see how you tie in with him sharp. Well, you see,
10:33
I've got a two kids and they like it. Oh, I guess you'll
10:37
think I am. No, you don't have to explain. No, No,
10:43
I've got kids myself. Oh excuse me, Reynold's thinking. Sorry to
10:48
put into missus. Julia is waiting to see it. Okay, thanks,
10:52
the wife is here, then I will be going Sean. Yes, don't
10:56
worry too much about Duley. I'll do all I can for him. I
11:09
crossed Irma Dooley's path in the waiting room, and Reynolds gave us a quick
11:13
introduction, explaining that I was interested in her husband's case. She threw me
11:18
a bright smile of gratitude, and I remember thinking that she was surprisingly pretty
11:22
and young to be the wife of mister Dooley. Then I started on my
11:26
homeward way, trying to puzzle out the best method of breaking the news to
11:30
Debbie and Judge. At least it was nice to know that the little ticket
11:35
taker had somebody to look after him. The appearance of Irma Dooley made me
11:39
feel better, but it wouldn't have if I had known what happened in Reynolds's
11:45
private office after I left Precinct headquarters. Everything's working out on the schedule,
11:50
isn't it. Doling careful with the dolling. He's gone. Not getting nervous?
11:56
Are you? The man isn't nervous because he's careful. He may get
12:01
nervous if he forgets to be. You're not getting nervous. No, how
12:07
well to just leave? Fine? Lie to me? How well could I
12:11
leave? No fun framing? To leave this way? The only wrong he's
12:13
done is to be too much in love with me. The only wrong we've
12:16
done is to fall too much in love with each other. Only it could
12:20
be simple and easy. He's the one who's made that impossible. He's the
12:26
one who's threatened to kill you if you're leaving. I know, I know
12:28
soly for no other reasons. We've got to go through with this. But
12:33
when he gets out, by that time, we'll be in far away places
12:37
where we'll never even think to look for us. You say that I don't
12:39
care what we have to do or who we have to hurt. Smile a
12:45
little, smile all the time. As soon as I'm sure we won't fail,
12:48
then you can begin. Now we won't You can't be sure? Oh
12:52
yes I can. They may not convict him. Don't let that worry you.
12:56
Wash. Yeah, what have you done? I'll talk to Shindler.
13:05
He's not an incorruptible man. On, mister Shindler, what do you need?
13:09
I offered him a deal and he accepted. What can he do?
13:13
Can't you imagine? No? Then wait till the trial, Wait till the
13:20
DA questions him, and you'll see. Your name is Anton Schindler. Oh
13:41
yes, sir, and you're employed by mister Jacob Jansen and his home at
13:46
two eleven Bond Avenue. I am sir, very good now, mister Schindler.
13:50
On the night of April twenty seven, an armed man entered the Jansen
13:54
premises and made away with some fifty thousand dollars in negotiable bonds. This quite
14:00
correct, sir. Also, according to your testimony, the man was mass
14:03
which would make it very difficult for you to identify it. Well said,
14:07
It seemed it would be very difficult at the time. Will you explain that
14:13
remark? I gladly said, up to that point I had never heard him
14:18
speak who the defendants? Sir? And now that you have, it's the
14:24
sort of voice one does not easily forget. Sir, Are you are you
14:31
identifying your assailant, mister Schindler. There is no further question in my mind,
14:35
sir, mister Willy trollybody, somebody helped me, but nobody could help
14:54
little mister Dooley. The butler's testimony had swung the balance and the jury was
15:00
out for less than an hour. When they returned, it was with a
15:03
verdict of guilty and the three years sentence of the State penitentiary, and I
15:11
was left to try to explain the two baffled and broke them hearted children.
15:18
But Papa, Papa, it's Saturday again. Now we didn't go for two
15:22
weeks, and mister Dooley won't know what happened to us. We could just
15:26
go by and see how do you do and tell him we're sorry we disappointed
15:30
him. But you you didn't disappoint him, Debbie. We must have he
15:35
knows we always come. Listen, Josh, Debbie, what's the matter Papa.
15:41
I don't know exactly how to tell you this, but well, mister
15:46
Dooley isn't there anymore dead? We're really he went away for a while.
15:52
You mean he doesn't like us anymore? No, that's not what I mean
15:58
at all. How could he go away and leave it? We wouldn't leave
16:02
him. He didn't want to go away. You see somebody meet him.
16:08
The police. Yes, what have they got to do with mister Dooley?
16:15
They have something to do with all of us. Judge, when't you coming
16:18
back when the police let him? And make the police let him come back?
16:22
Papa, Oh, yes, Papa, make him, let him come
16:26
back. You can do that, can't you. You can do it,
16:30
can't you, Papa. I tried to do something for mister Dooley. I
16:42
talked to missus Dooley and the lawyer who defended him. But there are things
16:47
that even the biggest of big guys just can't do. And six months went
16:52
by, and in our flat they were six months of mourning for mister Dooley.
16:59
Then one night in midwinter, I was in a taxi homeward bound when
17:03
suddenly from the radio, the State and City police ask your cooperation in a
17:10
manhunt that has been in progress since six fifteen, this evening, at which
17:15
time a convict effected his escape from the state penitentiary and is now somewhere at
17:19
large in this vicinity. He is five foot two, weighs one hundred and
17:23
ten pounds, his blue eyes, sinning dark hair, and answers to the
17:30
name of Willie Dooley. It was a relief when I got home to find
17:40
the radio silent and the two admirers of Willie Dooley quietly absorbed in a game
17:45
of Parchis. All was quiet under our room. The announcement had not been
17:49
heard, but it had been heard under another room, and there all was
17:55
not so quiet. A woman was pacing the floor of a cow apartment on
18:00
the Great Stone arm. Her name was Irma Dooley, and she stopped in
18:04
her track. I'm a Reynolds. Yeah, well, well, I haven't
18:22
seen you in quite a while, lover. It takes an emergency to bring
18:26
you here. Let's not waste precious time on just one thing. Tell me,
18:30
will you make her? Tell me what happened to that big love of
18:33
ours, that romantic flight to far away places? Could we skip the argument?
18:37
Please? Do you lose interest in a girl off a fast, don't
18:41
you, Detective Reynolds. I've come to help you, if you'll give me
18:44
the chance. Yeah, yes, he's cash. I thought you needed five
18:48
hundred bucks. Oh, all for me, all for you, and it
18:52
closes on accounts? What's that supposed to be? Don't nag me, Armma.
18:56
This is a big, bad night. Buy yourself a tick on an
19:00
airplane and go as far as the money you'll carry you. And what about
19:03
you? You're going to count me up of what? Everything? Including my
19:08
life? I said everything? Just a minute. You can leave me,
19:14
Reynolds. You're not going far, darling. No, because the minute you
19:18
walk out, I'm going to phone Sharp and tell him about that frame you
19:21
worked with Tinder. He'll help me. He was pretty interested in Duley's case.
19:25
I hope you're joking, joking. You think I take this fall alone,
19:27
go flying off by myself until I wind up stranded and Duly comes back
19:30
and killed me. You'd really call Sharp, so help me, you do,
19:36
and you'll know what what. I'll kill you, Darling. I had
19:51
given the kids their supper, told them a long story with a happy ending,
19:55
and put Josh to bed. I was sitting over the p cheesie board
20:00
for a good night game. Was Debbie when hello, Yes, oh,
20:10
yes, that's the lady. I know what you're talking to my kids.
20:15
Go on, I'd like to talk to you. I'm listening thanks to faith
20:18
and rather when as quick as possible, good night. I think you'll think
20:22
it's worth it. Cut news about how Willie Dooley was framed. Tim,
20:29
when you took me at the door? What was that about? A brain
20:32
telling on the level? Just come over, OK, can hold your horse?
20:37
Is will you? Where do I come? What apartment? Hold on?
20:42
I'm we're sure if I'm gonna see that is? Who is it?
20:45
What the mad? Will you? No? No? Your kid? Get
20:52
you? What you said? You kill me? Really mean it? All
21:11
the way over in the cab and going up in the elevator, I knew
21:14
what was waiting in eleven D at the Graystone Arms. Still, it was
21:18
a shock when I walked in and saw her lying there, sprawled out on
21:25
the floor. Her neglige and the carpet around her did scarlet with her fresh
21:30
life's blood. I took a look around the apartment for some clue to tie
21:37
in with our phone conversation of a few minutes before. But all I could
21:41
find of any interest was a wad of tens and twenties clutched tightly in the
21:44
corpse's hands. I pried it loose. I had rippled through it and discovered
21:51
that it amounted to exactly five hundred dollars. When from the open door behind
21:55
me, I heard, I am, it's me, Why mister Dooley?
22:06
Huh oh oh, I know you. You're a guy. What used to
22:11
bring a couple of kids to the cars hell ever Saturday? That's right,
22:15
Josh and Debbie? What you do in your mystry? Well, I'm a
22:19
detective. The police, no private Nurma called me and asked me to come
22:25
over. It wasn't more than fifteen minutes ago. I see what is she
22:30
now? She's she's lying almost at your feet. Try and take it easy,
22:40
Oh my pretty. It took her away from it took her away.
22:47
Get hold of yourself. Listen, listen. She was all for you,
22:53
that much. I can tell you. She was killed trying to tell me
22:57
that you'd been framed. Yeah. Yes, Now the cops are looking for
23:02
you. I know how you feel, but you can't afford it right now.
23:06
If they catch you you're going back for a longer stretch than before,
23:08
and Irma wouldn't have wanted that. I'll look at me and think, what
23:14
did she mean? You've been framed. I don't know who planned it,
23:18
mister. I don't know who framed me, but I know who lied who.
23:22
That Schindler. That butler said he recognized my voice and he couldn't have
23:29
How could he have? I wasn't there. Then we're going for a taxi
23:33
ride to the Jansen House on Bond Avenue. Yes, yes, we'll have
23:40
a little talk with mister Schindler and make him tell us exactly what went on.
23:45
Let's go, mister, Yes, you you've been pretty nice to me
23:51
that. I don't know how I'll ever pay it. You don't have to
23:56
ever pay me, No, no, just gosh and Debbie a couple of
24:02
riodes for free. Schindler answered the door at the Bond Avenue mansion. He
24:18
was sorry, but mister Danson was in Massow this time and he couldn't admit
24:22
this. Then the light from a passing car felong Duley standing behind me,
24:27
and Schindler stepped back, the blood greening from his face. He was terrified
24:33
that Duley meant to kill him on the spot, and I did nothing to
24:36
alter that impression. In fact, I ate it in a betted it every
24:40
way I could. Don't let him, don't let him hunt me. I'm
24:42
not here to protect you, Charm. I'm own Dully's side and from my
24:47
parties within his rights. If he sent you to the more, please,
24:48
I've got a right. So did mister Dooley have a wife that didn't stop
24:52
you? I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't stop to think.
24:56
I didn't realize they paid you money. Yes, he paid me.
25:00
I promise there wouldn't be the slightest danger, and you fell for that.
25:04
After Rosa, I thought she should know he was a policeman himself, a
25:10
policeman himself. Yes, sir, who did it? Who was it who
25:15
bribed you to testify against mister Dooley? Answer me, Answer me. It
25:18
was Detective Reynolds, Detective rolsh Reynolds. If he had said Methouselah or a
25:37
man from March, I couldn't have been more surprised. Then I went into
25:41
action to Dooley. I gave my gun and told him to lie low in
25:45
the mansion and keep Schindler prisoner. Then I went out and found a phone
25:49
book. The death sergeant on night duty told me I could probably find Reynolds
25:53
in his rooms at sixty four Dawson Street, and as a matter of fact,
25:59
I did. The door was open and I walked in. He was
26:06
sitting at a desk in the glare of a reading lamp. I want to
26:11
talk a few things over with you, Reynolds. Remember the morning after Willy
26:17
Dooley was arrested. Don't sit there looking at me like that answer my question,
26:25
Reynolds. I had pushed him and he'd gone over toppling like a rag
26:37
dog, And for the first time I saw the shaft of a knife protruding
26:41
from between the pleats of his shirt front. He was dead. Detective Reynolds
26:47
was and dead by murder. I phoned headquarters then and took a look around.
26:52
The look netted me two observations. One, the room was topsy turvy,
26:57
and I had the feeling that somebody had given to the going over in
27:00
the last two hours. Two in the desk drawer I found a stack of
27:06
canceled checks in the amount of forty nine thousand, five hundred dollars. Then
27:11
I added it to the five hundred I'd found in arma Duley's hand got a
27:14
quick total of fifty thousand, and the light broke over me. Grabbing a
27:18
cigar box off the desktop, I took a cab for the Jansen place.
27:22
Dooley was just as I had left him, holding a gun on the pail
27:26
and shaken. Butler Anton, Schindler, you've found Reynolds, Sir? What
27:30
kind of a question is that? Schindler? He's a shrewd windy. You
27:34
know I found him and you know how I found him. What do you
27:38
mean, sir? Okay, I'll make a formal announcement. Detective Reynolds is
27:44
dead head a rush of a knife in his chest. Ah, you can
27:51
save the act, Jeeves. I know the whole truth now it was you
27:55
who murdered I rmur Dooley earlier in the evening. You must be mad,
27:59
not very for once it turns out to be the truth. The butler did
28:03
it. Why? Why on those should I have killed missus Dooley? Why
28:06
because she knew about the frame and you were afraid she'd reveal all to her
28:08
husband here No, no, I'll believe me. You're wrong, and you
28:11
made your waiter Reynold's room and did him and mister Shops. If you want
28:15
a reason for that, you can have it too. You knew where the
28:18
fifty thousand dollars was that was stolen from Janson safe. It was in Reynold's
28:22
possession and you needed money to leave town. But no, but yes,
28:26
sir, you've searched his rooms for it like a wild man. The places
28:30
are shanandles. But you failed to find the prize. Schendler. You should
28:33
have taken your time like I did. It's shot, yes, Duling,
28:37
you mean you found it? Yes, here it is in the cigar box.
28:42
Must have been a good hiding place because everybody overlooked it is all there,
28:48
fifty thousand dollars in negotiable bonds, mister Sharps, Yes, Duli,
28:52
I take that cigar bucks. Now, how's that, doul? You've got
28:57
the cigar bucks and I've got your gun. So give me that money a
29:02
mine, or I'll put a bullet in you with your gun. Money of
29:07
yours. I think you heard what I said. How's it yours? By
29:11
right of theft, Dooley. I don't go for big words, but I
29:17
killed easy. Yeah, so I've noticed you killed Erma easy. But then
29:22
you don't think that I know you didn't kill her, chandler. It turns
29:25
out that mister Dooley here was the burglar after all. He entrusted the bonds
29:30
to his wife to hold for him, but she wasn't to be trusted,
29:33
and she double crossed him with the aid of a swine named Reynolds. I
29:36
said I'd take that cigar box, mister. He came out of prison the
29:38
night and because he'd gotten wind of her affair with the copy, killed her.
29:42
Then he went to the copshouse, killed him and looked for the bonds.
29:45
But he found nothing, nothing but trouble, not too much. Give
29:51
me that here, take it. You're welcome to it, Dooley. It's
29:53
all yours, and it's all I want a lot of money, you get
29:59
true, no money. You wind up in the causell listen to the jabber
30:03
of a bunch of kids and going out of your mind? What about kids?
30:07
For eight months I was stuck in that job with brats in my hair
30:11
and brats underfoot. How I you, mister Dooley Dody, how do you
30:18
do? I thought you liked kids, that I believed at least, oh
30:22
you did did you. Well. I hate'em, every one of'em,
30:26
every single sold of'em, breath and body. That's why I stole this
30:32
to get away from that job, to get far away, mister Dooley.
30:37
Yes, you won't get far on what's in that cigar box? Why not
30:41
open it? Open it? Go ahead, you liar, you dirty liars.
30:49
It's empty, it's simpty. That was a trick, call it a
30:53
strategy. I knew you'd come out in the open if you thought I had
30:56
the fifty grand? Where is it? Where's all my money spent, mister
31:00
Dooley, spent long ago. I don't like your laugh, mister Sharp,
31:07
and you ain't safe you think you might be. I'm a little sore now,
31:11
and I have got a gun to you. Look at it, shout,
31:15
and still everybody's had their laugh with little mister Dooley, Little mister Dooley.
31:22
And then little mister Dooley aims a gun and pulls the trigger, and
31:27
little mister Dooley is bigger than all of them. You can hand it over,
31:33
now, Dooley. I wouldn't give an escaping convict a loaded gun,
31:37
and I figured an empty one would serve to keep mister Schindler in his place.
31:41
Come on, now, the game's over, let's go. I took
32:00
him down the headquarters and had him booked for murder. Then I went home
32:07
across the sleeping town. I thought about Debbie and Josh. Now, when
32:15
they were older, I'd tell them why mister Dooley never came back, and
32:21
all about the little Man, all except one thing. I'd never tell them
32:29
that he didn't love them. No, not that, not ever. The
32:52
National Broadcasting Company has presented the Adventures of the Big Guy played by Henry Calvin.
32:59
Joshua Detective works for his clients on a strictly cash basis to provide for
33:04
the needs of his nearest and dearest, Josh Jr. And Debbie. To
33:08
them, he is the friendly magician, the fabulous hero, the giant among
33:13
giants, The Big Guy. The National Broadcasting Company has presented the first in
33:30
the new series of adventures, The Big Guy, played by Henry Calvin,
33:36
featuring David Anderson as Josh Jor. And Denis Alexander is Debbi. The script
33:40
was written by Peter Barry and directed by Thomas Madigan. The music was by
33:46
George Wright. Others in the cast were Joan Alexander, Roy Pant and Everett
33:52
Sloan. Your announcer, Fred Collins, Tonight here, Phil Harris, Sam
34:00
Spaden, petticoat Fever on NBC Welcome back. You know, the whole opening
34:22
with his description. Yeah, it was cute, but I kind of you
34:27
know, it's radio, and so we can't actually see him and that's all
34:30
we're left to imagine him by, and I'm just trying to properly adjust my
34:37
imagination. I did like at the end that he was not as naive as
34:44
the program or early on made him out to me. And what I thought
34:50
was the interesting twist of this. It was kind of his effort as he's
34:55
going through this case to preserve his children's in a sense and sense of childhood.
35:05
You know, some pretty interesting motivation and a couple of nice twists here.
35:09
So not bad, not bad at all. We'll look forward to the
35:14
next couple of weeks. Well, now we turn to listener comments and feedback,
35:19
