I stole the uranium from the laboratory. 324 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,519 Out in the yard, I picked up the yard cat. 325 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,519 The man was on the outside of the gate with 326 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,319 a Collie shepherd dog. He let the dog run in 327 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,119 through the gate and there was a fight of all 328 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,039 the fiendishlyles schemes. I petted the dog, but as I 329 00:22:44,079 --> 00:22:46,440 did so, I hid the vial under the collie's stomach 330 00:22:46,519 --> 00:22:50,160 with adhesive tape. The dog's owner whistled, the dog ran 331 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,519 out of the gate. Looks unnatural. The guard paid no attention. 332 00:22:55,519 --> 00:22:58,480 What a trick to Now I cannot live on as 333 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:05,920 a trader. My children, forgive me? What a name for 334 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,519 young Zellno, it could have given us just one clue 335 00:23:09,559 --> 00:23:11,799 to the identity of the man. Maybe he did Peters 336 00:23:11,839 --> 00:23:14,640 without realizing it. In this part of the country, people 337 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,200 prefer hounds, and not many have Collie shepherd dogs. I 338 00:23:18,319 --> 00:23:20,559 want you to locate every Collie shepherd dog within one 339 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:33,759 hundred miles of this plant were outside the town.

The owner's all 343 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,839 students fiction. The only odd situation is this family were 344 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,039 going to visit Six weeks ago. A man named mort 345 00:23:49,519 --> 00:23:51,799 said he was going to Mexico and gave them his dog. 346 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,119 That's worth investigating.

Now he's 414 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:14,440 putting a finger on you. 415 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,319 Speaker 2: When your friends drop in, be generous, but he's thrifty too. 416 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:38,160 Serve plenty of delicious pepsicola.

Listen on Thursday for the 427 00:29:15,279 --> 00:29:19,079 exciting counter spy case of the Desert explosions. 428 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,799 Speaker 17: The man eating birds of prey that were used to 429 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:26,480 execute a betrayer, the worldwide smuggler who used geometry and 430 00:29:26,599 --> 00:29:31,039 action to test salesmen of information, and the three pennies 431 00:29:31,079 --> 00:29:33,599 worth of sulfur that were used to trick the killer 432 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,440 the Law Couldn't touch. Be sure to be listening on Thursday, 433 00:29:37,519 --> 00:29:42,799 day after Tomorrow to Case of the Desert Explosions on Counterspy. 434 00:29:50,799 --> 00:29:53,680 The night's counter Spy program originated in New York and 435 00:29:53,799 --> 00:29:57,960 featured Don McLaughlin and Mandel Kramer, with music by Jesse Crawford. 436 00:29:58,559 --> 00:30:02,079 Counter Spy is a Philip Floyd production for Pepsi Cola. 437 00:30:02,759 --> 00:30:19,279 Enjoy some Pepsi ice Cold tonight, Welcome back. 438 00:30:19,799 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: Well, this was an interesting case as far as it went, 439 00:30:24,119 --> 00:30:27,720 but a bit of a bummer. I felt so bad 440 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,319 for Senior Setillo, as he really did seem to be 441 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,359 a stand up guy in every way, and Elena, and 442 00:30:35,519 --> 00:30:40,000 of course the poor Tommy the Holy Shepherd. The sad 443 00:30:40,119 --> 00:30:44,519 thing is that Morton and Stubby probably will have a 444 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,480 more pleasant fate than any of them. In terms of 445 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:54,599 the episodes statement about dog ownership in Tennessee in nineteen 446 00:30:54,759 --> 00:31:00,960 forty nine, it was pretty accurate. This was based the location, 447 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:06,000 likely inspired by an actual facility that was in East Tennessee, 448 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:13,119 and hounds far more popular than other dogs, although coley 449 00:31:13,279 --> 00:31:17,680 shepherd is probably much more a colloquial term before a 450 00:31:17,799 --> 00:31:23,400 lot of our language about various breeds became more standardized. 451 00:31:24,079 --> 00:31:27,480 All right, Well, listener comments and feedback now, and we 452 00:31:27,599 --> 00:31:31,079 have an email from Ken who riots was traveling so 453 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,839 couldn't send this sooner. The Counterspy episode The Case of 454 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,480 the Poison Peddler is the latest examples of shows taking 455 00:31:39,559 --> 00:31:43,519 on issues in the forties and fifties that still exists today. 456 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,799 That particular episode takes on individuals in the community recruiting 457 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,039 and warping the minds of young people with hatred towards others, 458 00:31:52,119 --> 00:31:56,720 something we see happening today. Previous episodes of Counterspy, The 459 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,960 Silent Men, The Man Called X, and Dangers a Sign 460 00:32:00,119 --> 00:32:02,359 and also have had our heroes taking on issues of 461 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,839 that time period that either still exist or have raised 462 00:32:05,839 --> 00:32:08,480 their head again in modern times. You should consider pointing 463 00:32:08,519 --> 00:32:11,880 that out in your commentaries in the future. In addition 464 00:32:12,359 --> 00:32:16,400 to these being good stories, I enjoy contrasting the way 465 00:32:16,519 --> 00:32:19,240 life existed seventy to eighty years ago with the different 466 00:32:19,319 --> 00:32:22,160 and in my opinion, better use of language, and how 467 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,640 the issues of the time have changed or not. Thank 468 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,160 you for providing us this entertainment, Ken Well, thank you 469 00:32:29,359 --> 00:32:33,200 so much, Kin, and I guess I would also mention 470 00:32:34,119 --> 00:32:38,839 a couple of the programs that The Adventures of Superman 471 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:44,519 with their series on intolerance going on for about two 472 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,480 hundred and three hundred episodes, and then you actually had 473 00:32:48,839 --> 00:32:53,480 another Phillips Lord series that we played that's not particularly 474 00:32:53,839 --> 00:33:02,759 well remembered, particularly when compared to Counterspy, District Attorney, and Gangbusters, 475 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,440 but he had a series called Treasury Agent, and actually 476 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:11,640 the first episode it's something like that now. It included 477 00:33:12,279 --> 00:33:17,359 an original racist song that was written for the episode 478 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,240 that got stuck in my head, so that was a challenge, 479 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,480 but he was trying to address the issues. I do 480 00:33:24,839 --> 00:33:29,240 think it's always a fine line in terms of my commentary, 481 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:35,279 because where I will try to explain something is where 482 00:33:36,119 --> 00:33:39,880 it might be unclear to some listeners, like this is 483 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:45,240 actually relevant to our times, but it's a bit more obscure, 484 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,000 so I need to bring this out a bit and 485 00:33:48,279 --> 00:33:53,480 research and come up with the contexts. But sometimes an 486 00:33:53,599 --> 00:34:01,000 old time radio program is speaking to events in our 487 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:05,480 time and it is plain, and in those cases I 488 00:34:05,839 --> 00:34:11,360 tend to really lean in more towards a less is 489 00:34:11,559 --> 00:34:16,840 more approach, because there is a danger where you can 490 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:22,280 become really on the nose and can almost militate against 491 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,199 the point by aggressively pointing out and being like get it, 492 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,840 get it, which I think can end up alienating people 493 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:36,159 and make them feeling like you're using the show as 494 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:41,000 a platform to express your own opinion. So I tend 495 00:34:41,079 --> 00:34:44,719 to think it's best just to let the programs speak 496 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,719 for themselves on those sort of points. But I do 497 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,360 appreciate your comment. Thank you so much. Can I really 498 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:55,760 appreciate it? Well, now it's time to think.
