The rest of us were 214 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,320 in the main cabin playing cards, and well when we 215 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,159 tried to send out a call, the transmitter wouldn't work. 216 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:49,159 Speaker 2: Where I find this. 217 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 3: Lee will Way Here I've written down the address for 218 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,320 you and our other guests too, mister and missus Hooper 219 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:55,600 and Richard Speidal. 220 00:11:55,879 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 4: Thank you now, mister Dollar, mister Palleston, I'll see you lady. 221 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. 222 00:12:05,759 --> 00:12:08,399 Speaker 4: There was something very funny about this whole thing, but 223 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,200 I wasn't quite sure just what I checked with mister 224 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,240 missus Hooper, elderly, very quiet and dignified. Their story was 225 00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:18,799 the same as the baldistants, except in one thing. They 226 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,720 weren't it all sure? It had taken them many twelve 227 00:12:20,759 --> 00:12:23,480 hours to get back to Ports. I drove to the 228 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,360 address of Lee Wilway. It was a small apartment below Wilshire. 229 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,879 After all of Lee was the only one awake and 230 00:12:28,879 --> 00:12:30,320 alert enough to have taken a good look at the 231 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,279 pirates in their boats. Yeah, and what about the yachts 232 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,320 radio that wouldn't work after Lee had spent. 233 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:40,919 Speaker 2: The evening fooling with it. Yeah, Oh, I beg well, 234 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,440 that is I'm looking for Lee Wilway Finley, Who are 235 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:50,960 you believe me? Charles of the Ritz would have been 236 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,759 proud of this one. A Levin doll twenty three or four. 237 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,200 She was tall, slim and a pretty face top with 238 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,000 red hair that looked oh so carefully this arrange. Yeah, 239 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,200 she was a beauty. 240 00:13:03,879 --> 00:13:06,159 Speaker 4: And yet as we talked, I couldn't quite picture this 241 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,559 gal on a yachting trip with the Balistons. 242 00:13:09,039 --> 00:13:11,399 Speaker 6: Gee, you No, I haven't the least idea where we 243 00:13:11,399 --> 00:13:12,960 were when it happened, Johny. It could have been a 244 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,320 million miles out to see. But if Baldy, I mean 245 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,080 mister Baldiston says it took us twelve hours to get back, 246 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,840 it must have taken us twelve hours. 247 00:13:21,879 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 4: And you're sure you didn't recognize either of the men 248 00:13:24,039 --> 00:13:25,480 who boarded the Yachtlie, huh. 249 00:13:25,519 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 6: I certainly didn't. But I saw the boat they had 250 00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:31,159 was a long black one, solid black, solid black. 251 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 2: Did anyone else on board see that boat? 252 00:13:33,399 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 4: No? 253 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 2: They, I don't think. So what did you do after 254 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:38,519 they left? 255 00:13:38,919 --> 00:13:40,399 Speaker 6: Went up to the bridge to the radio. 256 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,159 Speaker 2: Didn't they tell you to call a coast guard? 257 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:44,879 Speaker 6: Yeah? 258 00:13:44,919 --> 00:13:49,039 Speaker 2: Surely they said. You were at the radio earlier, Yeah. 259 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 6: Just listening. But after it was over and I tried 260 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,360 to call the coastguard, well it just wouldn't work. 261 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 4: Like another drink, Johnny, the Baldistons and Hoopers were playing 262 00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:58,840 bridge earlier. 263 00:13:58,919 --> 00:14:00,759 Speaker 6: Yes, look, Johnny, you yet. 264 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:05,279 Speaker 2: Were the other guests. Dickie boy, Yes, sick. And what 265 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,000 did he do after you were bored and robs? 266 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 6: Uh? He was probably Donnie's cabin with his head under 267 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,960 the cover, scared the desk. He had any nerve he 268 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,360 could have stopped them too, What do you mean? Well, 269 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,919 his was the one cabin they didn't go into, They 270 00:14:17,919 --> 00:14:20,720 didn't bother him, and he knew there was a rifle 271 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,559 they used for shooting sharks. You knew it was on 272 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,879 the rack just outside his door. And if he'd come 273 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,759 up shooting with it or those pirates would have jumped 274 00:14:27,759 --> 00:14:29,759 overboard and run for home. I just bet they would. 275 00:14:30,159 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 2: Apparently you don't think much of the stick spidle, would you. 276 00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 6: I mean acting like that, I mean doing nothing when 277 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,000 he could have accidentally. 278 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,399 Speaker 4: When I stopped at the Baldistons, I saw a sports 279 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:41,159 car outside. 280 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,519 Speaker 6: Oh yeah, isn't it a dream boat? It's Larry's. 281 00:14:44,679 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 2: Who's Larry, Larry Baldiston? 282 00:14:48,159 --> 00:14:52,679 Speaker 6: He's my Oh gee, Johnny, I'm getting hungry.

It took me over a 291 00:15:18,799 --> 00:15:20,440 half an hour to find Spidal's apartment. 292 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:22,519 Speaker 2: It was one of those ultra swank. 293 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 4: Affairs, just off sweets of Avenue, below the famous sunset strip. 294 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,320 I parked under a big palm tree.

It said, 325 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,880 you have no case anyway, because the things that were 326 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,359 stolen off the yacht have been returned, so you may 327 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,680 as well leave while you have your health no signature. 328 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,799 There was only one person in the world I wanted 329 00:17:42,799 --> 00:17:45,720 to see at that moment, Larry Baliston. I felt a 330 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,640 bit rock since I was at the front door of 331 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,680 Dick's Spidal's apartment. Said I've really come to see him, 332 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,720 and if I was lucky, he might have a good 333 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,920 stiff drink heady feeling better. 334 00:17:56,759 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 7: Now, mister dollar, Yeah, yeah, I am THI stick it's 335 00:18:00,599 --> 00:18:01,920 Richard if you don't mind. 336 00:18:01,759 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, sure, but go on with what you were saying. 337 00:18:05,839 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 7: Well, the whole thing was absurd, of course, but the 338 00:18:08,279 --> 00:18:11,000 only reason missus Baliston insisted on taking Lee on that 339 00:18:11,079 --> 00:18:13,759 yachting trip under the charity affair, and of course I 340 00:18:13,839 --> 00:18:16,160 was supposed to be her escort, was to shame. 341 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 2: Her to shore up. How do you mean? Well? 342 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,559 Speaker 7: After all, in spite of her beauty, she is a 343 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,839 rather common person, not the cheap. So Missus Balalaston hopes 344 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,160 that facing her the ladies and gentlemen who attend the 345 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,640 ball would embarrass him and she'd realize she has no place. 346 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 2: Among people like ourselves. People like you were just too 347 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,200 good for her. Well, to put it, bluntly yes. 348 00:18:38,039 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 7: In any event, missus Baliston hoped it would break off 349 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:45,960 this rather sordid romance. Romance she and Lawrence Balsden That Larry, 350 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,400 she calls him, and Lee is only after his money. 351 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,759 Speaker 2: But I take it Larry got wind of this little plan. 352 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,519 Speaker 7: Lawrence said that he would prevent its being carried out 353 00:18:53,519 --> 00:18:54,759 if it is the last thing he ever did. 354 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 2: So he stayed the piracy. 355 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,880 Speaker 7: Oh, I'm sure it was he. He's always done stilly 356 00:19:00,039 --> 00:19:03,480 things like that, mister dollar rich headstrong, spoiled. 357 00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:03,519 Speaker 2: As he is. 358 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 7: So when I heard the noise up on deck, I 359 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,640 simply locked myself in my cabin and refused to budge. 360 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,519 When he and whoever he had helping him board the yacht. 361 00:19:12,079 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 4: Or because you were scared, I thank your. 362 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,559 Speaker 2: Pardon, thanks a lot. It's rich. 363 00:19:19,559 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 4: Ohincidentally, yes, you think Lee will Way was in on 364 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,599 it too, That that's why she spent so much time 365 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,319 on the ship's radio earlier. 366 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 7: In the evening injupiively so that she could guide him 367 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,759 to the yacht and his speedboat. His speedboat, of course, 368 00:19:31,799 --> 00:19:32,960 there's all sorts of radio. 369 00:19:32,759 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 2: Equipment of bullet What color is that speedboat? 370 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,279 Speaker 7: Mahogany? 371 00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:39,319 Speaker 4: We said the pirates were using a solid black boat, 372 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,519 which simply proved she was onto. 373 00:19:41,319 --> 00:19:45,279 Speaker 7: His plan and the stupid the wench was lying, that's all. 374 00:19:46,039 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 2: Maybe you're right. Thanks Dick, it's Richard. 375 00:19:49,799 --> 00:19:50,799 Speaker 5: If you don't. 376 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,160 Speaker 2: Do come in, thank you. Miss. 377 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,519 Speaker 3: My husband's on the telephone talking to the engineer of 378 00:20:02,519 --> 00:20:03,759 our yacht down in Balboa. 379 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 2: And what do you think of that? I think I 380 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,279 can guess it's fine. 381 00:20:07,839 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 4: Just stay on watch and I'll be back down there 382 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,599 to pick those things up in the morning.

And let me tell 397 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:52,279 you this. Let me give you this, Clarry, Clarry, what 398 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,799 is it more? Larry?

Do you want 402 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,680 to start talking? Okay? Okay, I did it. 403 00:21:07,279 --> 00:21:10,279 Speaker 5: I read the whole thing, Jimmy driscoll and I because 404 00:21:10,279 --> 00:21:11,720 I was fed up with the way mother was trying 405 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,400 to run my life. Yeah, but maybe she was right 406 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,000 about Lee after all, of course she was costa. But 407 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,559 now look, Dolly, if you think you can get away 408 00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:31,799 with barging in here and slugging me, yeah, why go more? 409 00:21:33,799 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 2: Orry?

I've 412 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,960 been hoping somebody do that for a long time. Sure, 413 00:21:48,079 --> 00:21:49,519 I I've spoil him too. 414 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 2: It's been my fault as much as his mother's. 415 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,279 Speaker 4: But I never had any idea you carry things as 416 00:21:56,279 --> 00:21:58,079 far as you did. Of course, if you like, sir, 417 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,519 I could prefer soap charges versus a tack. 418 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:01,039 Speaker 2: On me earlier. 419 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,559 Speaker 4: No, no, no, I don't think it will be necessary. 420 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 2: And how much obliged to you? 421 00:22:06,799 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 4: Just leave him alone? Mary Lee? I suppose you leave 422 00:22:10,799 --> 00:22:13,119 us alone while I settle things with mister dollars. 423 00:22:19,039 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 2: He in this case, forget it. 424 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 4: The five hundred that Larry mistaken they tried to bribe 425 00:22:23,759 --> 00:22:26,359 me with, plus a nice fat check from mister Balderston. 426 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,039 Well once is the thought of it hurts me. Let's 427 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:35,799 forget the expense account too. Okay, okay, yours truly, Johnny Dollar. 428 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,079 Our star will return in just a moment. Now here's 429 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,839 our star. I'll tell you about next week story next week. 430 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:59,160 Oh wait a minute, related congratulations the station WGLS and 431 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,559 Beckley Westvitche on its twentieth anniversary. 432 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 2: Next week, I really go fishing. Yeah for a body 433 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,799 in the middle of Lake ned join us, won't you? 434 00:23:08,799 --> 00:23:09,440 Yours truly? 435 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:29,839 Speaker 4: Shanny Doller, Yours truly Johnny Dollars, starring Bob Bailey, originates 436 00:23:29,839 --> 00:23:34,240 in Hollywood and has written, produced and directed by Jack Johnstone. 437 00:23:35,039 --> 00:23:38,960 Heard in our cast were Virginia Greg eleanor Ugly, Vic Pern, 438 00:23:39,279 --> 00:23:42,799 Howard mcneer, Larry Dobkin, will Wright, Carlton G. 439 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 2: Young and Jack Edwards. Be sure to join us next. 440 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,799 Speaker 4: Week, same time and station or another exciting story of yours, truly, 441 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:51,960 Johnny Dollar. 442 00:23:54,519 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 8: This is Dan Cubberly speaking. 443 00:24:23,279 --> 00:24:26,599 Speaker 1: Welcome back. I think the one thing that I struggled 444 00:24:26,599 --> 00:24:30,920 to buy on this episode is Johnny not understanding how 445 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:36,200 modern day pirates work. That just doesn't make sense for 446 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,319 someone who works in the insurance industry, particularly to the 447 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,680 degree that Johnny does. I think it may have been 448 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,119 to give a point of information to the audience, but 449 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,240 this feels like this would have worked better as narration. 450 00:24:51,559 --> 00:24:56,039 Other than that, I found this a pretty enjoyable story. 451 00:24:56,279 --> 00:25:00,200 Other than getting knocked down, this was a pretty a 452 00:25:00,319 --> 00:25:04,400 case for Johnny. He got to not only solve the case, 453 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,200 but punch out an entitled, rich kid and get paid 454 00:25:08,319 --> 00:25:12,519 handsomely for it. Also, this did seem like a much 455 00:25:12,559 --> 00:25:16,680 bigger cast than we've been getting in recent weeks. It 456 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,680 does make me wonder if there might have been some 457 00:25:20,079 --> 00:25:25,559 increase in budget tied to the sponsor ads that appeared 458 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:31,519 in this episode. And this really reflected a broader industry 459 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:36,839 shift as we moved away from shows having single sponsors 460 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:41,559 or maybe two sponsors, which NBC did a couple of 461 00:25:41,599 --> 00:25:44,759 times with a few shows in the early fifties. Here 462 00:25:44,839 --> 00:25:50,240 you've got multiple sponsors, each buying a spot, and this 463 00:25:50,559 --> 00:25:55,279 was becoming the norm on television as well. And so 464 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,559 this reminds me a lot of the structure of programming 465 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,279 when I was watching television when I was a kid. 466 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,839 Although I do think one thing that Johnny Dollar would 467 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:12,519 do is it would often have two frequent commercial breaks, 468 00:26:12,759 --> 00:26:16,200 but only a single break each time. I personally prefer 469 00:26:17,319 --> 00:26:20,960 fewer breaks but a little bit longer. I will also 470 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,759 say the fram oil filter commercial was really interesting, and 471 00:26:25,839 --> 00:26:30,079 I would be checking my oil filter if the contest 472 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:35,160 hadn't ended twenty plus years before I was born. But 473 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,799 any rate, We turn now to listener comments and feedback, 474 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:45,200 and we start over on Facebook, where regarding the episode 475 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,640 The Blue Madonna Matter, Joey Wright's great to hear from 476 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,640 the Great cat again and looking forward to more episodes 477 00:26:52,759 --> 00:26:57,359 with him. Well, he's not in a lot of episodes, 478 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,480 but he comes by every now and again, and we'll 479 00:27:01,519 --> 00:27:07,720 definitely have some interesting times ahead. And then over on Instagram, 480 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:14,039 we have a comment Janine, who rites on Instagram, I'm 481 00:27:14,079 --> 00:27:18,119 one hundred percent old time radio commercials. Please keep leaving 482 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,400 the man, appreciate the feedback, and I hope you enjoyed 483 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:27,000 this week's episode. And then our listener writes over on YouTube, 484 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,960 haven't even paid attention. You are knocking on twenty thousand subscribers. 485 00:27:32,039 --> 00:27:35,880 Way to go, and As of this recording, we're getting close. 486 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:41,119 We're nineteen thousand, three hundred and ninety one subscribers on YouTube, 487 00:27:41,519 --> 00:27:46,599 which isn't a huge YouTube channel by any means, but 488 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,079 given that we spent so many years under ten thousand, 489 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,599 it's great to see where it is. And I appreciate 490 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,079 all the folks who are listening and subscribing over on 491 00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,240 YouTube for all of their support. And now it's it's 492 00:28:00,279 --> 00:28:04,359 time to go ahead and thank our Patreon supporter of 493 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,160 the day, and I want to thank Larry, Patreon supporter 494 00:28:07,839 --> 00:28:12,559 since July twenty twenty three, currently supporting the podcast at 495 00:28:12,599 --> 00:28:15,720 the shawmus level of four dollars or more per month. 496 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,839 Thanks so much for your support, Larry, and that will 497 00:28:18,839 --> 00:28:22,240 do it for today. If you're enjoying the podcast, please 498 00:28:22,319 --> 00:28:27,480 follow us using your favorite podcast software and be sure 499 00:28:27,559 --> 00:28:31,759 to read and review the podcast wherever you download us from. 500 00:28:32,079 --> 00:28:37,000 We'll be back in two weeks with another episode of 501 00:28:37,039 --> 00:28:41,079 Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, but join us back here tomorrow 502 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,880 as we give way to the great adventurers of old 503 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,000 time radio and counterspy, where. 504 00:28:47,319 --> 00:28:49,079 Speaker 4: I know some of us here paid a little more 505 00:28:49,079 --> 00:28:51,119 for our houses than the rest of it. A larger 506 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,519 house or more land. But whatever you paid, I think 507 00:28:53,559 --> 00:28:55,319 we're all agreed that it was too much for what 508 00:28:55,359 --> 00:28:58,480 we got, no question about that. Now, our individual complaints 509 00:28:58,519 --> 00:29:02,440 are pretty similar, green woe, good flooded sellers, crumbling foundations, 510 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,880 poor flashings, bad drainage. 511 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,079 Speaker 2: Well you know them as well as. 512 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,759 Speaker 4: I do, perhaps better Andy, perhaps, But the point is 513 00:29:07,839 --> 00:29:12,319 the majority of them can be repaired at those expense. Yeah, yeah, 514 00:29:12,319 --> 00:29:14,319 I don't want to sink any any more money into 515 00:29:14,359 --> 00:29:16,920 my house. You won't have to, Tommy, at least I hope not. 516 00:29:17,039 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 2: And who will, mister Gora. 517 00:29:18,519 --> 00:29:21,039 Speaker 4: If we all stick together, mister Bradley, I think we 518 00:29:21,079 --> 00:29:23,799 can make the open up real estate company bear the expense. 519 00:29:23,839 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 2: What you've been drinking, Andy, No, I'm serious. 520 00:29:27,279 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 4: And yeah, but that's all it is, mister Hobbs. The 521 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,720 real estate company has only one interest in these houses now. 522 00:29:34,119 --> 00:29:37,640 It's not repairing them. It's collecting on the mortgage, right, Tommy, 523 00:29:37,839 --> 00:29:41,119 And that's our weapon. We refuse to pay those mortgages. 524 00:29:41,319 --> 00:29:44,440 What until steps are taken to remedy our complaints. 525 00:29:44,519 --> 00:29:45,839 Speaker 2: What about foreclosure? 526 00:29:46,279 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 4: Well that is a possibility, mister Bradley, and we should 527 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:49,400 face it. 528 00:29:49,839 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 2: But if we all stick together. 529 00:29:51,599 --> 00:29:54,039 Speaker 4: I doubt that mister Hobbs will foreclose on forty five 530 00:29:54,079 --> 00:29:58,240 houses at once. It would certainly be bad publicity if 531 00:29:58,279 --> 00:30:00,759 he did. Whether or not that will buy, I don't know, 532 00:30:01,319 --> 00:30:03,799 but not getting his money will hope. 533 00:30:03,599 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: You'll be with us then in the meantime, send your 534 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:12,160 comments to Box thirteen at Great Detectives dot yet, follow 535 00:30:12,279 --> 00:30:18,319 us on Twitter at Radio Detectives, and follow us on Instagram, 536 00:30:18,319 --> 00:30:25,640 Instagram dot com slash Great Detectives from Boise, Idaho.
