Have 17 00:01:40,879 --> 00:01:44,120 a great day, and I'll calculator. Thanks so much for the comment, 18 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,120 Andrew. And yeah, if if you want to send a comic, just 19 00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:51,760 send it in just like that. Actually, I've been getting quite a few 20 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:57,079 emails through the app. Makes it pretty easy for folks to send their feedback 21 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,200 into the show. I had to get used to it first because the subject 22 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:07,439 line that's inserted is I have something to say, and when I see that 23 00:02:07,519 --> 00:02:12,800 type of subject heading, I get a little bit nervous. But it's just 24 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:21,879 the topic, the subject that is sent out from the app. We got 25 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:28,000 one question here. This one comes from Wesley, who ask could it be 26 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,000 possible to have Dragnet and Great Detectives all included with your Dragnet app. You 27 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:39,240 know, that's a good question. I think that the big problem we'd run 28 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:46,439 into is basically, we've already committed with Wizard Media to doing two separate apps, 29 00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:51,560 and we've already had some people buy both apps. So I don't see 30 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:57,319 how we could fairly and reasonably change that at this point. But it's a 31 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,120 good suggestion. Thank you very much for for conducting the show. I've got 32 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,919 a few more just general things for app users, but I'm going to save 33 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,599 that for after the after the show, So those of you who have got 34 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:15,520 some other device or just don't have the app, that basically we get to 35 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:21,639 the it'll basically there won't be anything else further to discuss or to come up, 36 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,520 so you can go on to whatever you have on your media device. 37 00:03:27,719 --> 00:03:30,479 Before we get into this week's episode of Johnny Madaro, I do want to 38 00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:36,280 remind you that Dragnet, the movie from nineteen fifty four, is available on 39 00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:40,199 the big screen for the first and only time. See Joe Friday on the 40 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:49,599 big screen, played by Jack Webb. The film tells a it tells an 41 00:03:49,639 --> 00:03:57,199 astonishing tale from the intelligence Intelligence Department. It's tough actions. It's written by 42 00:03:57,639 --> 00:04:00,360 Richard Breen, who wrote Pat Novak. So you enjoyed that type of writing, 43 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:05,759 you'll enjoy this film.

We're going to get into today's episode of 47 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:30,199 Johnny Madero. This one is actually just the week after last week's episode. 48 00:04:30,319 --> 00:04:34,439 This is from June twenty sixth of nineteen forty seven. And one thing I 49 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:41,759 didn't notice here because I've added to my categorization. I've begun categorizing by what 50 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,959 network these is on, the shows are on, and the next these three 51 00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:51,600 days of programming, all three three straight episodes in a row, Tuesday, 52 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:57,040 Wednesday, Thursday. All of these were shows from the Mutual Network. So 53 00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:00,240 all right, just a fun factor. Let's go ahead and get in into 54 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,839 it. This one is called the Fatal Auction. Let's sit back, relax, 55 00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:25,959 and then we'll come back. Yeah, I'm Johnny Madero here twenty three. 56 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,240 You know, it doesn't pay to buy a fast car in San Francisco, 57 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,120 because most of the time you gotta be in low gear. The town 58 00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:35,240 is laid out like the profile of a chorus line, and the only time 59 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,879 it flattens out is where it runs into the bay. The waterfront goes from 60 00:05:39,959 --> 00:05:43,079 south of the Ferry Building up past the China Docks, and on a clear 61 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,639 day you can see him batting baseballs over on Alfitraz. Here twenty three is 62 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,600 over toward the left field sign. Not far from there you'll find Johnny Madero's 63 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:55,600 boat shop right place. Oh, I rent boats and I do anything else 64 00:05:55,639 --> 00:05:58,519 that means long odds in short hours. It's a way to make a living. 65 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,680 And if you never save enough to get married, at least he got 66 00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:03,079 enough to leave the town. Maybe I should have left time. Monday afternoon, 67 00:06:04,079 --> 00:06:06,879 I bought a paper and I read about a build up on a heavyweight 68 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,480 fight in la I stopped in at Lofties and the boy said, neither one 69 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,839 of those fighters could beat an egg with a power drill. About three o'clock 70 00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:17,759 I started down Post Street when I spotted a new auction. The house was 71 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:23,279 small, with enough dough changing hands to buy back Manhattan Island. Inside it 72 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,199 was packed and up on a wooden stand, a ball headed guy was selling 73 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,079 everything but his suspenders. So I sat on and back, and I noticed 74 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,040 a girl standing up against the wall. She was wearing dark green sunglasses that 75 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,560 the rest of her was just about as secret as a plow in the bathroom 76 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,480 floor. Her hair was the color of half past midnight, and her dress 77 00:06:41,519 --> 00:06:44,720 was made of the kind of goods you buy from spiders. After a while, 78 00:06:44,759 --> 00:06:46,319 she walked over to me. Right away she started to getting nervous. 79 00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:48,600 But when you look like her, you get a right to me mind if 80 00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:50,920 I sit down? O your legs, lady.

Where's the girl, the brunette with the dark glasses. 122 00:09:22,879 --> 00:09:24,879 It's a jail term, son. I don't follow him home anymore because she 123 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,840 was here a minute ago. You must have seen her leaves, no, 124 00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:30,759 think about it. She must have walked back past you. Think about it. 125 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:31,879 No, Son, when you get to be my age, you don't 126 00:09:31,879 --> 00:09:45,279 even do that. I felt kind of silly, the same way you do 127 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:46,840 when you find a hole in your sock at the shoe store. But it 128 00:09:46,879 --> 00:09:50,960 wasn't my dough that bought that case, so I couldn't beat much. When 129 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,120 I got back to the office, I started working on the lock with the 130 00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:56,159 key. The case was made of plain black leather that was kicked around more 131 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:01,440 than Minnie's gone. Then I opened it. Shiny looking saxophone was laid out 132 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,279 in three parts. For a thousand bucks, you can buy a whole brass 133 00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:09,440 section. So I went through each piece looking for a reason. It was 134 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,759 a paper box inside the case and had a grocer reeds in the same time 135 00:10:11,799 --> 00:10:16,320 you find on the mouthpiece of any saxophone. I couldn't do much more, 136 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,120 so I wrapped up the cats and put it up in my closet. And 137 00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:20,320 then the door opened and the trouble had her face. This was the way 138 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,320 it looked in the morning. He stood there in the middle of the room. 139 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,320 In his eyes held me like a fly at the end of two needles. 140 00:10:24,799 --> 00:10:26,840 He noticed his sign brows. They were bushing and thinking, if they 141 00:10:26,879 --> 00:10:30,320 got any worse, you'd have to hire a native guide. Hello you, 142 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:31,960 madero, that's my story. You got a better one. It's sadder than 143 00:10:33,039 --> 00:10:35,919 yours. I'm the guy you left behind at the auction. Who are you 144 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,840 bidding for?

Now what does that prove 148 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,679 unless you find it in the semitory? And they would trust a woman, 149 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,480 especially Claire Underwood, But he went from me. I would take that black 150 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,879 rather suitcase. Who weren't at the auction? Look, I saved you some 151 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:56,919 door. I'll make a pig at yourself. Try to be nice. I 152 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,360 will.

I folded up in my head, got the size 165 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,159 of a social worker's heart. Well, I started tossing around on the rug. 166 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,480 It took me longer to stop, and it took hayen to quit jersey. 167 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,279 I knew that sax was gone, so there was no point in getting 168 00:11:58,399 --> 00:12:03,159 up. I started dreaming about that day of Cleveland Bellhop gave me a key 169 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,480 to the wrong room. It's going all right too, until somebody began shaking 170 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,200 me in that small room. I didn't have to look up to know who 171 00:12:09,279 --> 00:12:13,480 it was, because Inspected Warchick of San Francisco Homicide is the kind of guy 172 00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:16,080 you stand next to a hurricane and wonder what happened to the wind ventilation, 173 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,159 making a wish man own there it is so it didn't come true? What 174 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,200 are you collecting, Alibi? What yours for the last night at twelve o'clock 175 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,639 that wasn't dead. He got a witness. Oh you can't win them all. 176 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,879 Yeah, that's the way A guy named Charlie Riser felt. So maybe 177 00:12:28,919 --> 00:12:33,440 it's an epidemic. So maybe you started it. Someone shot him dead. 178 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,879 The guy was a musician. Try some of the neighbors. I'll try you 179 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,720 first, your reaching warchick. I never heard of the guy. Oh that's 180 00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:43,000 a handicap. Or maybe you just heard of his incer. All right, 181 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,120 let me get it was a second. You're very bride an AUCTIONNEI helped me 182 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,399 trace it down to you. Now, what's the pitch? A wild one 183 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,799 warcheck. A dame forced me to do it a favor. Uh huh, 184 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,039 I bet you're force easy. She paid me to bid for the saxon, 185 00:12:54,039 --> 00:12:56,519 then took a potter after I won it. He got an active memory. 186 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:01,039 Does it including a name? Yeah, Claire under run it down and see 187 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,480 what it gets you on. I'll stop threateningly, Madero. I think that 188 00:13:03,639 --> 00:13:05,080 sex is tied in with a murder. Now where is it? You're a 189 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:09,440 little late. A torpedo named Larry Dunlaft just worked in and sat me for 190 00:13:09,519 --> 00:13:13,240 it. Yeah, how hard did he sat? Mad There's a crul of 191 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,080 blood behind your desk, and it doesn't look like yours. How to get 192 00:13:16,159 --> 00:13:18,559 there? I don't know, Worschik. Maybe somebody got lost and figure it 193 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,279 was a blood bank. How do I know? Yeah? Maybe they thought 194 00:13:20,279 --> 00:13:24,639 it was a morgue too. Left the body. I look around, yeah, 195 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,799 do that look under the rug too. Maybe the guy was thin? 196 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,039 All right, Madero, that's a fire in the clear. But if there's 197 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,399 blood, there must be a body close by. It'll show. When it 198 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,720 does, we'll turn it in for yours. I remember like you remember that 199 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,320 thousand bucks. Huh the auction house, Madero, the thousand bucks you gave 200 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:46,000 the joint got homesick and left. I'm broke, Worchi Eh, you'll let 201 00:13:46,039 --> 00:13:48,159 the stand on your head? Depend this on me? Maybe I will. 202 00:13:48,240 --> 00:14:01,559 Maybe you're right. I forgot about your head. Once watch he x sticks 203 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,679 to you. You might as well try to pull a mustard plaster off a 204 00:14:03,759 --> 00:14:05,159 throw rug. He stood there for a minute, blinking at the light, 205 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,200 and you could see big pebbles of sweat standing out on his forehead. He 206 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,360 took a handkerchief out of his pocket. When it came down, it was 207 00:14:11,399 --> 00:14:13,840 wet enough to wash all the windows in the Lower Manhattan After a while he 208 00:14:13,919 --> 00:14:18,000 walked down. I watched him out of the window. I tried to figure 209 00:14:18,039 --> 00:14:20,679 how I got into this. It was like trying to trace back a conversation 210 00:14:20,799 --> 00:14:24,399 to see what words started it. There were lots of questions and not too 211 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,360 much time while I was a saxophone and a grocer. Reeds worth all that 212 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,919 dope and who left his blood on my rug as a deposit. A girl 213 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:33,799 must have known what was in the case, but why did she leave it 214 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,879 with me? I couldn't make it add up, so I looked at the 215 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,960 only good guy I know, a waterfront priest named Father Lady. He knows 216 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,679 most of the bad boys around the piers, and he's heard enough sins to 217 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,840 start an art colony around Lofty's. They got his name above the line, 218 00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:50,080 and that's a tough trick, because along the waterfront of the Archange, we 219 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,080 couldn't get a cup of coffee without hunting a wing. I found him over 220 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,759 at the Perry's house having dinners. Hello Johnnah, you want some wine? 221 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,840 No thanks, Father. That's one of the good things about this job. 222 00:15:00,039 --> 00:15:01,639 You get wine with your mules. Yeah, I know, except you got 223 00:15:01,759 --> 00:15:05,039 to watch out and you will die in the seminary, like to eat between 224 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:09,519 meals? Yeah yeah, but the bishop fixed them. He sent him to 225 00:15:09,559 --> 00:15:11,759 a rich parish and the guy had to throw away at his sermons. I'm 226 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:16,159 in trouble, father. Did you buy elevator shoes? Or is that a 227 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,879 bump on your head? Somebody knocked me down when I wasn't looking. Did 228 00:15:18,919 --> 00:15:20,399 you get the license number? It just felt like a truck. I got 229 00:15:20,519 --> 00:15:22,440 hit with a club. That's why I want you to help me. Father 230 00:15:22,759 --> 00:15:26,799 Johnny, you misinterpret my mission in life. You need a policeman. I'm 231 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:31,639 only a priest. Besides, I'm eating. Look, Father homicide wants to 232 00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:35,960 tack a murder on me. Here goes my appetite. Who's dead? Anybody? 233 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,840 I could have helped his home as Charlie Riser. He was a musician. 234 00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:41,720 If he's going in the right direction, he may get some work. 235 00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:45,759 How did you meet him? I didn't. I never heard of the guy. 236 00:15:45,799 --> 00:15:48,240 It was all a surprise to me. Sounds more like a shock. 237 00:15:48,399 --> 00:15:50,080 I got a bum shake from the start fighting. A gal with a big 238 00:15:50,159 --> 00:15:54,000 purse promised to pay me something if I bid for a black suitcase and an 239 00:15:54,039 --> 00:15:56,799 auction. What was the matter with her? Laryn jrivers. She was trying 240 00:15:56,799 --> 00:15:58,519 to keep somebody from noticing her, but she must have weakened in the final 241 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,679 stretch. What do you mean? I won the bid with a thousand bucks, 242 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,320 but when I came back, the gal was gone and you were left 243 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,960 holding the bag. What was in it? A saxophone and the grocer reeds. 244 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,840 You could buy the whole outfit with a five dollar down payment. What 245 00:16:11,039 --> 00:16:14,799 makes it worth a thousand? I don't know, father. The sacks belonged 246 00:16:14,799 --> 00:16:17,679 to Charlie Riser. A guy named Dunlap offered me to wander bucks for it. 247 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,559 All that money for a saxophone, and they wouldn't allow me forty bucks 248 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,759 on that old organ. Dunlap slug me when my back was turned, pile 249 00:16:23,799 --> 00:16:26,919 up a lead. Did the sacks go for free? Somebody paid for it? 250 00:16:27,159 --> 00:16:30,799 But I woke up there was a lot of blood on the floor yours. 251 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,480 It was uncleaned, But I have an idea of body's going to turn 252 00:16:33,559 --> 00:16:36,840 up without it. You have nothing but murder on your mind, Johnny. 253 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,200 Why don't you settle down with a good book. If wor check tags me, 254 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,399 I'll have to borrow yours. Father. Right now, I need you 255 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,720 to check on a few people for me, sure, but I'll need a 256 00:16:44,759 --> 00:16:48,000 couple of names for them first. You know a lot of the combo boys. 257 00:16:48,039 --> 00:16:49,960 Father, check up on Charlie Riser's friends, especially as women, and 258 00:16:51,039 --> 00:16:52,600 find out where Larry Dunlap fits him. Would you do it, father, 259 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,960 Yes, Johnny, I'll do it. But if I find out you're calling 260 00:16:57,039 --> 00:17:00,279 'em wrong, I'll drop over to war Checks. Thanks father, if you 261 00:17:00,399 --> 00:17:03,559 helped me out of this, you're a good guy, You're an angel, 262 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:17,759 But stop pushing me. I'm not that anxious yet. When I my father, 263 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,160 Lady, I ran over my leads. You could have counted him on 264 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,559 one finger and you'd still have to cheat. The only guy was looking up 265 00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:27,119 was the auctioneer on Eddie Street. Maybe that was all revenge. Why did 266 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,119 he tell war Chick that I took that thousand bucks back? Well, I 267 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,839 figured i'd find out, so I grabbed a cab back to his store. 268 00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:36,799 When I got there, the joint was locked up, but a big neon 269 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:41,000 signed blinked the name JC Cole. There was another light coming from the back, 270 00:17:41,079 --> 00:17:45,119 so I followed it down. Inside Cole was working over his cash registered 271 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,240 tape. I didn't knock, and right away he started making funny noises in 272 00:17:48,319 --> 00:17:51,160 his throat. I noticed he was wearing a vest without a time, and 273 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,200 his sleeves were rolled up with big rubber bands. His elbows stuck out and 274 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,319 they were red and knotted up like a baby's face with cramps. And then 275 00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,319 he made his opening bid, that's a little light, And I tell you 276 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,160 miss that A straight story. Huh, the one you told headquarters at too 277 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,200 many frills? Hey, wait a minute, you're the same fellow who bought 278 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:08,759 that suitcase. You got a good head friend? How goods is on robbery? 279 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,599 It was dark? I thought it was you, so I called the 280 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,599 cops and started fast. But you're fitting in the stretch. A thousand boats's 281 00:18:15,599 --> 00:18:18,119 going. I figured you took your money back. That's an early mistake. 282 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,559 It wasn't my dough. You sound like your man, he said, a 283 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,559 gun in your pocket. Then that makes you talk about that suitcase. I'll 284 00:18:23,559 --> 00:18:26,720 say, yes, I don't know what you mean. I said you were 285 00:18:26,759 --> 00:18:27,839 taking your chance. It's a ton of bricks, a ton of gold. 286 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,079 Remember, I gotta make a living. You know you don't have to crowd. 287 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,599 I meant, what gives a sax a thousand dollars price? Tang I 288 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:34,400 don't know. I tell you, I don't know what thing. Yeah, 289 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,160 well we'll go into politics later. I think you're lied. It was just 290 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,680 another suitcase, and wh another suitcase with the sacks inside. I just tell 291 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,519 you I don't know a thing. Yeah, keep it up, fellow, 292 00:18:44,519 --> 00:18:45,359 you'll tell me everything that way. Now, how did you know there was 293 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,039 a sax in that case? If you never opened it a lot and listened, 294 00:18:48,039 --> 00:18:49,880 mister, let's beak friends. I got a little money, let's be 295 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,559 friends go on. I was just trying to get a little head. I 296 00:18:52,599 --> 00:18:56,599 got a wife and a kid, a big kid. So I switched saxophones. 297 00:18:56,839 --> 00:18:59,599 I took out the original sex with the region, put in an older 298 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,119 one. I should do the original. It was a pretty nice one, 299 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,680 burning So I sold it to someone, reagion all for two hundred dollars, 300 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,960 slowing John who's someone a relative? He's a thrown name bud but but Beck 301 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,759 he plays Thomas Sacks at the down Beat Club. That that original was something 302 00:19:14,839 --> 00:19:17,240 special. Yeah, you should have held out for a thousand bucks on both 303 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,519 bands. Now, listen, fell A bunch of friends, A good friend 304 00:19:18,559 --> 00:19:22,400 on my wife's side. You I'll send you a pine if you believe. 305 00:19:22,519 --> 00:19:26,440 Yeah, sure, sure, I'll say that anything else huh yeah, stop 306 00:19:26,519 --> 00:19:37,839 starring. You'll give that kidd of years a complex. When I opened the 307 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,359 door, you could tell he wanted to shake me worse than a summer cold. 308 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,119 I didn't like him any better, but he'd given me something solid to 309 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,640 work on. So I got over to the club Downbeat. It's a jazz 310 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,359 seller that warms over King Oliver. It's six bits of throw. Five piece 311 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,279 combo was writing a chorus, slow and easy, and you knew the only 312 00:19:55,319 --> 00:19:59,440 notes they ever read were on IOU's or A dozen or so jazz fans huddled 313 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:00,759 around the band, and if you look real close at their faces, you 314 00:20:00,799 --> 00:20:04,920 saw something that looked like pain. I asked the bartender who over Beck was, 315 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,880 and he pointed out the blonde kid with a face made of warm puddy 316 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:12,240 playing a black saxophone. I walked backstage to a small dressing room where the 317 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,880 boys grabbed their second wind with a short one. When I opened the door, 318 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,279 a fair underwood stapare holding your breath? Hello, Johnny, you look 319 00:20:18,319 --> 00:20:22,720 angry? What away those daggers? Mmm?

Tell me why it's worth a grand and I'll answer 322 00:20:27,799 --> 00:20:33,160 that one too, all right, Johnny, I'm sentimental. Say Charlie Riiser 323 00:20:33,319 --> 00:20:36,440 was my boyfriend and I wanted to keep his sacks as a memory. Must 324 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,279 have been quite a memory. Baby. You didn't meet Charlie, but I 325 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,240 did meet Larry Dunlapp. He wanted the sacks too. Why, Oh, 326 00:20:41,279 --> 00:20:44,960 what I know, Johnny. Maybe he was taking lessons. They weren't that 327 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,160 kind. He has too good a lip. Oh, I only I use 328 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,160 it differently.

Come on, you use your oars, Johnny, 337 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,200 You've got too big a mouth. Baby, somebody's gonna close it on you. 338 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:22,480 Show me, Johnny, all right, music stop, Johnny? Why 339 00:21:22,519 --> 00:21:26,839 do you care? We're not dancing, Johnny? Please, you're you're squeezing 340 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,960 me too tight. That's a bad habit. Now tell me about that sax. 341 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,519 Listen to me, Johnny. I told you I got to see Overbeck 342 00:21:32,559 --> 00:21:33,759 first. I'll tell you everything later. Yeah, after you talk over Back 343 00:21:33,799 --> 00:21:37,119 out of his sacks. Huh? Yes? Is it a deal you're two 344 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,079 anxious to sign? I'll talked over back myself. All right, Johnny, 345 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:41,960 I'll help you get him here, quicker. Yeah, what are you gonna 346 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:52,400 do? Scream, Johnny, scream? Listen louder, baby, you'll really 347 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:57,319 need it in a minute. What's the matter? Was singing about Chester? 348 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,720 She couldn't catch me. He was fine to snatch my purse? Is that 349 00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:03,359 true? Mister? Call a cup and fight out? Yeah? I will, 350 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,920 No, no, please, don't bother. Just get him out, 351 00:22:07,319 --> 00:22:08,839 Just throw him out, mister Overbeck. You heard the lady. Mister, 352 00:22:10,599 --> 00:22:12,319 Do I get rough? Save your strength over Beck. You'll need it later. 353 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,759 Claire had a nice act, if you didn't mind playing straight man too. 354 00:22:25,799 --> 00:22:27,640 A vulture. She dragged herself on Overbeck's arm, and she looked as 355 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:32,160 cool as a vacation and main. As I walked out over Beck was still 356 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:33,400 showing his teeth, but it didn't matter, because you got the idea he 357 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,920 wasn't strong enough to fight off a sneeze. Well, there wasn't much I 358 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,880 could do except wait for Claire to show, but it started to drizzle, 359 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,079 so I figured my best bet was her hotel in the lobby, a rose 360 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,880 colored carpet with a touch of yellow. Jaunn's led to the desk, but 361 00:22:48,039 --> 00:22:49,680 clerk told me she hadn't come in yet, but for five bucks, he 362 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,000 could tell I was a friend. He gave me her key. I went 363 00:22:53,079 --> 00:22:56,920 upstairs. When I opened Claire's door, I knew something was wrong. A 364 00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,039 lot of towels were thrown all over the floor, and everything was going on 365 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,079 from my closet, but the mothballs Claire had skipped. Before I could walk 366 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:07,079 out, Dunlap walked in. One hand was in his pocket and the other 367 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,680 had enough tape to wrap up a mummy, and I gone in the down. 368 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,640 You old enough, dune Lap, make up your own mind. I 369 00:23:11,759 --> 00:23:15,640 am well's Claire, you're early? I think she's still busy getting a nagazine. 370 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,319 Now it'll be a long one. I'm not hanging her und on if 371 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,319 I was just beginning, sit down, Sit down, I guess I am 372 00:23:22,519 --> 00:23:27,319 tired. And this gun makes everybody drowsy. Now what's your tie with Claire? 373 00:23:27,559 --> 00:23:30,759 Nothing that's deep rooted. Are you riding a column? Yeah, the 374 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,960 obituary and you're gonna make the morning deadline? Yeah? Two cocky down lamp, 375 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,960 don't turn your back walk. Claire blew her chances. The best she 376 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,279 could do was this odd Yeah, you ruined my carpet when they passed your 377 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,400 cover out. I'll be jealous. In the meantime, you're gonna stick around 378 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,400 until Clap brings that black saxophone. I hope she's got some food in the 379 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,200 nice box. What do you mean, Well, if you're waiting for that 380 00:23:48,279 --> 00:23:49,799 sax, we're gonna start to death. Player's not gonna show makes you were 381 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,599 prophet a guy named but over Beck. He had the sacks last, and 382 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,160 Claire was working him over for it. I'll work you wolver for less one 383 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,559 of the rest of her plans. She was warm. Maybe she left the 384 00:23:59,559 --> 00:24:02,319 smoke sake. All right, you're getting too stubborn. Put away the gun 385 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,000 down lat you can only use one on hot thing the faces with his index 386 00:24:04,079 --> 00:24:07,039 finger. Pick a spot before they don't put her up the floor. Now, 387 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,359 dune Lafe. We got comed Hey, what's this the wrong row? 388 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,279 Claire said, would be along? Well, yeah, just the three of 389 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,359 us? Who modo? What are you talking about? Claire told me to 390 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,519 come here. She told me to wait for her. Let's tell I say 391 00:24:21,559 --> 00:24:23,559 you're left for another chorus. Just tell me where she left you. I 392 00:24:23,599 --> 00:24:26,400 don't feel so good. She was at the down Beach club. She was 393 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,920 helping me put my sacks away. I just came up here to wait. 394 00:24:30,039 --> 00:24:33,599 They were gonna be alone. No, I, fellow, I'm coming down 395 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,160 the crowd. You went madero. Now I'm leaving. Yeah, I'm going 396 00:24:37,279 --> 00:24:40,799 home too. I feel sick going home. You'll never make it on your 397 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,240 knees. What's the matter? Oh no, I guess I gave the new 398 00:24:44,319 --> 00:24:47,400 horn too big a ride tonight. I got a weak card. Your eyes 399 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,000 aren't too strong either. You're walking right into that closet. He told me 400 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,400 not to play so hard. Maybe I played too hard. Help me fall. 401 00:24:53,039 --> 00:24:57,799 You look familiar. I seen you somewhere. Huh, you're fuzzy. 402 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:03,920 Yeah, all right, I feel sick. Someone must have slipped me something. 403 00:25:03,599 --> 00:25:14,720 I I never like this before. Sick, real sick. U you'll 404 00:25:14,759 --> 00:25:27,079 never get any sicker. Fella over Beck was dead even before he had a 405 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,200 chance to see if Gabriel paid his boy's scale. He hit the floor and 406 00:25:30,279 --> 00:25:33,799 turned over in his back, and he figured he'd crossed the river Jordan with 407 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,200 a backstroke. I got a good look at him now. His face was 408 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,480 all twisted up like bed sheets after a nightmare run up near his hairline, 409 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,359 A long, thin scar ran into his scalp, and I didn't know it 410 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,079 killed Overbeck. But whatever it was, he didn't get two weeks notice. 411 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,720 I figured if homicide caught me here, i'd get my walking papers too. 412 00:25:48,799 --> 00:25:52,440 Right down to the last twenty feet, I started for the door, but 413 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,920 Warchik opened it. Former He looked at the body of that over to me. 414 00:25:56,279 --> 00:25:59,359 You on a scream with arrow if you were footing the bill Archick a 415 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,920 state. From now on, I'll tell me about the guy on the floor. 416 00:26:03,079 --> 00:26:04,640 He's dead. Must have had parents. What's his name? But over 417 00:26:04,759 --> 00:26:10,000 Beck he was a musician the downbeat club. Tell me somem on rolling more 418 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:18,960 check. Maybe he's got a diary wallet. All right, but how long 419 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,160 you have been here? A wallet? Sam tape. Well, it's too 420 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:23,960 bad. Your girlfriend's gonna have to get along the last week's presents. I 421 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,920 trail a guy named dun Laugh up in this apartment. I find you and 422 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,519 a dead body. Now there's a tie. Anyway you look at it, 423 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,839 that is what happened. I don't know, war check. I didn't see 424 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,680 the picture Regis tagged by for the end. Must have been a sad one. 425 00:26:37,799 --> 00:26:40,440 He's poisoned. I like to look in his eyes. Get the girl 426 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:41,759 to put it there, But just give me a hint. Ober Beck was 427 00:26:41,759 --> 00:26:45,400 playing cave man with Claire Undwood before he came up here. What does that 428 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,000 give him besides hair? Maybe a mickey? When I left, she was 429 00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:51,079 warming up an argument for his saxophone. She got it. She didn't done 430 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:52,319 laugh losing man urs. He just walked out of here, and I think 431 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,279 she's in his list. I'm beginning to get an idea now myself. Is 432 00:26:56,319 --> 00:26:59,839 it hurt? You and the Underwood girl were running some kind of a racket 433 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:03,319 for saxophone. She left you behind her front for her. You haven't seen 434 00:27:03,319 --> 00:27:06,519 her warchack. She doesn't need the dunnahell, but you will when I get 435 00:27:06,559 --> 00:27:08,319 through checking. So I got a few calls, and I want the lab 436 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,440 to work over their body, but then I'll have enough to come back and 437 00:27:11,519 --> 00:27:15,119 hold you. No, you couldn't hold a lap dog with a suction, 438 00:27:15,519 --> 00:27:17,599 All right, big shot, I'll go a long way to get you for 439 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,880 this, A long way. You got the drag, Yeah, it's gonna 440 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:30,039 slow you down a little. Archik wanted to mother the body until the corner 441 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,119 came, and when I left, he was squeezing himself into a chair. 442 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,240 He fit tighter than a boil in the crib. And you could word it 443 00:27:34,279 --> 00:27:37,279 any way you like, But the big riddle was a saxophone. Claire had 444 00:27:37,319 --> 00:27:40,680 it, and Dunlap wanted it, and a couple of guys died for it. 445 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:42,920 My only alibi was dune Lamb, but you might as well ask con 446 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,599 the hole still for Lewis. I buzzed back to the opposit, but there 447 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,480 was no message from father Lady. So I stared out the window for a 448 00:27:48,519 --> 00:27:52,079 while, wondering how to make a cake with the dynamite charge from the phone. 449 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,440 Right, yeah, Hello, Johnny, this is father Lady. What'd 450 00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:00,640 you find? Not? Father? It's not pleasant. Johnny dot the Morgue 451 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,960 a lab report on but ober Bek just came in. He died of poisoning 452 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:08,119 the bitter kind. Over Bek's hot couldn't stand all that dope. M Karna 453 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,119 found a used saxophone read in over Beck's pocket. It was soaked and hot, 454 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,599 So that's what made that saxophone so big. The grocer reads, that's 455 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,079 right, Johnny. Over Beck was absorbing the stuff while he played. He 456 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,119 probably never knew what hit him. Well, what about Ryser? How does 457 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:26,640 he figure Riser was making his pin money peddling dope to nightclubs. He's getting 458 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,279 his shipments from Mexico. How did Claire and Dunlap figure there were a couple 459 00:28:30,319 --> 00:28:33,839 of partners who wanted to ease out Riser and go into business for themselves. 460 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,240 The idea must have gone to Claire's heads. She's doing a solo now and 461 00:28:37,319 --> 00:28:41,640 Dunlap thinks she has the saxon or Jack feels the same way about you, 462 00:28:41,799 --> 00:28:45,119 Johnny. He's out to tag you for everything. He's smarter than the man. 463 00:28:45,599 --> 00:28:48,799 I don't know him that well, but it adds up in his book 464 00:28:48,839 --> 00:28:52,359 because he thinks you're leaving town. Hmm. Someone's booked a passage on the 465 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,759 two AM playing for Mexico this morning in the name of Jay Madero. I 466 00:28:55,839 --> 00:28:59,119 being jockey Father, it's either Clara Dunlap. They're both as black as sin, 467 00:28:59,319 --> 00:29:11,440 maybe so, but Warchak still thinks you are the dark horse. Up 468 00:29:11,519 --> 00:29:14,799 until now, it was like trying to sell a two paint or a ball 469 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,200 hitted eagle. But when the turn comes, everything happened in a hurry, 470 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:21,000 and you began breaking more records than a disc jockey with a hangover. If 471 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,920 Father Lady was right, Clara A. Dunlap had enough dreams in that sax 472 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,160 if wanted to start a Watz contest, and I knew if they both got 473 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,960 out of town, archeck could be around a tag me for the last dance. 474 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,279 So I got out to Millsfield and out on the fire end of the 475 00:29:32,279 --> 00:29:34,519 strip of twin engine plane was warming up. Claire was standing with her back 476 00:29:34,599 --> 00:29:37,079 toward me, and even from here you could see what a stiff tail wind 477 00:29:37,119 --> 00:29:41,039 could do to a landing gear. When she saw me, she raised her 478 00:29:41,079 --> 00:29:44,559 eyebrows and figured her temperature was even higher. Sorry, I had to borrow 479 00:29:44,599 --> 00:29:45,920 your name, Johnny, it's too small for it, baby. I got 480 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,200 a dig ego and that gun bolsters it. Huh, that's my story. 481 00:29:49,319 --> 00:29:52,440 We'll tell it to homicide. They'll take a nible one either. You were 482 00:29:52,519 --> 00:29:55,920 dune laft be thrown dunlap.

I want them reads? Baby, you'll be 485 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,480 telling pencils when I'm through with you. I leave the side too, Baby, 486 00:30:03,519 --> 00:30:06,839 I'll be lonely. You won't need that kind of music where you're going, 487 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,240 Larry, you're the ones that talk. Baby. I trusted you. 488 00:30:08,559 --> 00:30:11,000 We were going to do this together. I trusted you. We all make 489 00:30:11,079 --> 00:30:15,039 mistakes. You got the short end. I'll stretch it a little. You 490 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,200 got another chance. Let's team up again. Sorry, Larry, I'm crowding 491 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:19,400 you out.

You win on a flowery You win, just to show 498 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:52,720 you why you're great. You're true. Guy got the gun. What are 499 00:30:52,799 --> 00:30:59,480 the odds am I getting away in that plane? Seventy thirty? Maybe thanks 500 00:30:59,559 --> 00:31:02,240 are too tough with fifty to fifty, Come on out right downtown with you. 501 00:31:12,559 --> 00:31:17,000 Well, Dunlap told the whole story don at headquarters. It seems that 502 00:31:17,359 --> 00:31:21,559 Riser, Claire and he were buying dope from Mexico and peddling it here in 503 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,640 the form of soaked up reeds. Riser was contact man in Mexico, but 504 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,240 the only way they knew him down there was by his black saxophone. Claire 505 00:31:29,279 --> 00:31:33,119 and Dunlamp decided to narrow the profits down to two by shooting Riser and taking 506 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,759 over. Claire used the gun, and well that started it there, thinking 507 00:31:36,799 --> 00:31:40,160 that she could do even better with a single act. She needed that black 508 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,680 sax phone. Riser got wind of it and hid the sacks with the reeds 509 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:47,119 in the basement his land lady founded after he was tumbled and sold it to 510 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,440 that auction house, and Claire had me by it and followed me back to 511 00:31:49,519 --> 00:31:53,240 the office where she tried to peg down Dunlamp the sack. She took turned 512 00:31:53,279 --> 00:31:56,839 out to be a phony because the auctioneer had already sold the black one to 513 00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:00,920 butt Overback. The track was switched to him, and soon enough Overbek didn't 514 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:05,480 know the reads were loaded. After an all night jam section, he folded 515 00:32:05,559 --> 00:32:10,880 up with a heart attack. Well Warchick asked only one question, wasn't it 516 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,480 tough luck for an innocent guy like Overbank? I don't know. At least 517 00:32:15,519 --> 00:32:30,680 there was one time he played right out of this World. Johnny Madero Peer 518 00:32:30,759 --> 00:32:35,000 twenty three, starring Jack Webbers. Johnny Madero has been presented by the Mutual 519 00:32:35,079 --> 00:32:39,680 Network. Johnny Madero is written by Herb Margolus and lou Moreheim. Gil Gordon 520 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:45,799 played Father Light Lady and Bill Conrad played Inspector Warcheck of Homicide. Others in 521 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:52,319 the cast were Helene Burke, Bob Holden, Herb Butterfield, Irvan Lee, 522 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,680 and Herb Rolinson. Original music was composed and conducted by Harry Zimmerman, and 523 00:32:57,799 --> 00:33:01,440 the entire production was directed by Natt. We invite you to listen again next 524 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:06,200 week over most of these stations when Mutual presents another adventure in the life of 525 00:33:06,319 --> 00:33:19,240 Johnny Madero. Here twenty three Tony Lofrano speaking, this program came to you, 526 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:40,000 Honeywood, this is the new world broadcasting system. The scene with Warcheck 527 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:46,279 welcome back. And by the way, the scene with Warcheck absolutely had me 528 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:52,079 and had me in stitches. The dialogue there did which I don't know if 529 00:33:52,119 --> 00:33:57,279 it's entirely a good thing, but I enjoyed it. And this episode was 530 00:33:57,319 --> 00:34:00,920 actually a little better than I remembered it. It may be that this one's 531 00:34:01,319 --> 00:34:07,559 a pretty good quality audio too. I love the show, but I could 532 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:13,000 kind of see that it was a little bit it was a little bit unbalanced, 533 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,920 and I think if there was a lesson that Jack Webbing may have taken 534 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:23,159 from Johnny Madero which lasted just about which lasted just only twenty weeks. I 535 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:29,440 think it was the importance of chemistry. Gail Gordon did better in this episode, 536 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:35,679 but he still know still didn't pull off the Tutor Owen's jock O Madigan 537 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:43,880 role, or it came closer this episode. I think that that's one thing 538 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:51,880 about web because as a young actor, it was obvious that mutual believe that 539 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:58,679 web himself was basically golden and was going to be able to carry the show. 540 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,960 I think where the chemistry wasn't as strong. That really calls things to 541 00:35:05,079 --> 00:35:07,599 not quite work out how they had been planning, and that's one of the 542 00:35:07,679 --> 00:35:13,440 reasons why over on the Old Time Dragnet Show. We're in the midst of 543 00:35:13,599 --> 00:35:22,280 an almost ten month search for a replacement for Barton Yarborough on the Dragnet episodes, 544 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,239 and I think part of the reason he took that time is web did 545 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:30,159 have an appreciation for the importance of chemistry, of getting all the parts to 546 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:37,519 work together, and that there really wasn't a one man show that he could 547 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:43,760 carry by himself, and maybe Johnny Madarra was part of a learning process that 548 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:50,480 may have helped the young actor in the long run. Email here from Jeffrey, 549 00:35:50,559 --> 00:35:53,639 who runs I enjoy the program and a half for years, though I 550 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:59,920 find Jack Webb's in kensedy and anti social behavior events much would like to hear 551 00:36:00,199 --> 00:36:02,400 the other actor who performed this, Pat Novack. I've heard him before and 552 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:07,480 liked him a great deal. We likeks for the email, Jeffrey, I 553 00:36:07,679 --> 00:36:12,639 have to say I've heard the other actor, Owes Ben Morris. I've heard 554 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:20,000 his performance, and I didn't I didn't really quite care for him. Now 555 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:27,800 I have to admit I was comparing it to the UH to the Pat to 556 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:34,719 the Pat Novack done by Jack webb I, and I think what happened. 557 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,280 What happened there is you had not only Webbly, but you had the Writerly 558 00:36:38,599 --> 00:36:45,480 Richard Breen, and so this radio station they thought they could just you know, 559 00:36:45,039 --> 00:36:49,280 have a new writer, have a new star, and carry on like 560 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,039 it had had before him. And it didn't seem to work to me. 561 00:36:52,519 --> 00:36:55,639 But I can take a listen to it. Maybe I get a little bit 562 00:36:55,679 --> 00:37:01,360 away from the Jack Web version of Pat Novak and can evaluate this kind of 563 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:07,199 on its own merits. I'm kind of ready to move away from the San 564 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,119 Francisco Bay for a while. That's why next week we're gonna start on Jeff 565 00:37:10,199 --> 00:37:15,440 Reagan. But I'll take a listen after I've been away from the web version 566 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:20,519 of Pat Novak and see maybe I changed my mind. Thanks for the email. 567 00:37:20,639 --> 00:37:23,800 We also got a great love the show comment off of podcast selling. 568 00:37:24,639 --> 00:37:29,280 And that's pretty much all I've got for the general public.
