Oh why does she value it 75 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,240 so highly? I expect the general was the only Ballon 76 00:05:10,319 --> 00:05:12,199 who had guts enough to do anything on his own. 77 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,879 What do you mean, I mean, instead of just living 78 00:05:14,879 --> 00:05:18,399 off the family shipping fortune.

Look, isn't it pretty obvious? I knew that something 272 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,559 was wrong when I first got here. Hal hadn't known 273 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,679 you were going to call me in, so that when 274 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,799 he saw me here, you didn't know. 275 00:15:28,639 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 2: It was my kind, thoughtful Bata Higgins who called your 276 00:15:31,679 --> 00:15:33,840 insurance company, and he shouldn't have. 277 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,919 Speaker 4: The fact remains that when Hal saw me here, he 278 00:15:37,039 --> 00:15:40,360 tried to stop that ransom note he'd planted in your mail. No, wait, 279 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,039 all about that ransom note. It was badly written, much 280 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,120 too badly written by someone who was trying to hide 281 00:15:46,159 --> 00:15:46,799 his identity. 282 00:15:47,399 --> 00:15:47,919 Speaker 3: I'll wait you. 283 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,919 Speaker 4: That paper was scribbled on, came from right here in 284 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,799 this house. And I'll bet that if I accuse him 285 00:15:52,799 --> 00:15:55,000 of it, how will break down and admit. 286 00:15:54,799 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 3: That he wrote it? 287 00:15:55,639 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 2: Wait, mister dolla. Yeah, I devoted many years to the 288 00:15:59,559 --> 00:16:02,440 care and upbringing of my Neffy I realized that in 289 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,000 the hope that he would someday go out on his 290 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:10,120 own accomplish something himself. Well, now, listen, I know perhaps 291 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,279 over the years I made him too dependently. 292 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,679 Speaker 4: I'd say yes to that, but that's because. 293 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 2: I am as I am, and I can't change. But 294 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,679 I kept hoping that he would change that somehow, sometime 295 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,240 he would make just one desperate move to break away 296 00:16:26,279 --> 00:16:28,440 from me, but it would have to be of his 297 00:16:28,639 --> 00:16:32,320 own doing so. For years people have called me eccentric, 298 00:16:32,759 --> 00:16:36,200 and I've enjoyed the reputation. So I made a fuss 299 00:16:36,279 --> 00:16:39,320 over that cheap little statuette that I picked up in 300 00:16:39,399 --> 00:16:43,679 Coney Island one time as a child. Of course, that 301 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,399 was the only sentimental value it had. 302 00:16:45,919 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 4: But according to Herod, now should. 303 00:16:47,879 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 2: I have picked one of the valuable artworks, paintings or 304 00:16:50,679 --> 00:16:53,960 sculptures that I really care about in my selfish way 305 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,320 for this little experiment. 306 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,519 Speaker 4: So you gave the worthless statuette the big build up. 307 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, and he fell for it. He believed that if 308 00:17:02,919 --> 00:17:05,720 it were stolen, I'd give almost anything to get it back. 309 00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:09,440 And then finally he got up enough nerve to do 310 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:10,279 something about it. 311 00:17:10,519 --> 00:17:13,279 Speaker 4: Not just a minute, just a minute. What you're telling 312 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,960 me is that your tickled pink that you've made a 313 00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:16,720 thief on him. 314 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 2: I'm tickled pink that he's finally shown some guts and gumption. 315 00:17:21,279 --> 00:17:23,039 And you can't call him a thief over that piece 316 00:17:23,079 --> 00:17:23,440 of jump. 317 00:17:23,519 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 4: But it has a price of seventy five thousand on it. 318 00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:28,000 That's what he'll be stealing if you give him that 319 00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:29,400 money and let him walk out of here with it. 320 00:17:29,559 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 2: No, no, he won't. 321 00:17:30,279 --> 00:17:32,799 Speaker 4: What else can you call it? I like to be eccentric, 322 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,440 remember missus fowl. 323 00:17:34,559 --> 00:17:37,319 Speaker 2: So the note island clothes with it, you know.

But will somebody please tell 361 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:43,119 me tell me why Tata just being herself? You don't 362 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,160 think for a minute you'd have just handed me the money, 363 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,599 would have admitted she wants Nancy and me to get hitched. 364 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 3: Don't you see? 365 00:19:48,759 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 4: That would spoil her reputation for being an eccentric. Oh 366 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,680 and if you like, I'll send you the statuette when 367 00:19:53,720 --> 00:20:03,680 this is all over as a souvenir. Believe me, I've 368 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,079 handled some pretty wanky cases over the years, but this was, 369 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,359 by long odds the wankiest. And yet why complain when 370 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,720 it's a good living expense account total including all the 371 00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:17,400 incidentals I could think of, and fair back to Hartford? 372 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:25,559 What seventeen dollars and eighty cents? Amy, yours truly, Johnny Dollar, 373 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,599 our star will return in just a moment for star 374 00:20:42,799 --> 00:20:46,319 to tell you about next week's story. Next week, Well, 375 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,480 if you've ever read the personal columns of your newspaper, 376 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,400 you'll surely want to hear it. Join us, won't you? 377 00:20:53,279 --> 00:21:20,960 Yours truly, Johnny Dollar, Yours truly, Johnny Dollars, starring Bob Bailey, 378 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,160 originates in Hollywood and has written, produced and directed by 379 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:30,160 Jack Johnstone. Heard in our cast were Virginia Gregg Eleanor 380 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:35,160 Audley G. Stanley Jones, Eric Snowden and Sam Edwards be 381 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:36,559 sure to join us next. 382 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:47,559 Speaker 1: Week Welcome back. Worth noting that this episode, even though 383 00:21:47,759 --> 00:21:52,119 we played it right after last week's, there was another 384 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,680 episode in between that is missing, and the episode after 385 00:21:56,799 --> 00:21:57,559 this is missing. 386 00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 3: Now. 387 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 1: One thing I will confest is that when I heard 388 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:07,599 Johnny refer to this as his wildest case, my hackles 389 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,759 went up, because, in my mind, the wildest case Johnny 390 00:22:11,839 --> 00:22:19,000 Dollar has ever done is the Glacier Ghost Matter newly recovered, 391 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:25,640 in which in order to dislodge a body from an 392 00:22:25,799 --> 00:22:32,279 unreachable glacier, he threw dynamite onto the glacier from a 393 00:22:32,519 --> 00:22:37,160 small plane. But Johnny said something in this episode that 394 00:22:37,319 --> 00:22:41,480 gave me pause when he described it as his wackiest case, 395 00:22:41,599 --> 00:22:44,720 And I don't feel the Glacier Ghost Matter was a 396 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:49,519 wacky story. So now I am distinguishing between the wacky 397 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,960 Johnny Dollar stories where Johnny finds himself the straight man 398 00:22:54,279 --> 00:23:00,319 for eccentric people doing eccentric things like putting their money 399 00:23:00,519 --> 00:23:05,920 through the laundry or managing the singing career of a mouse, 400 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:14,759 as opposed to wild cases where really strange, weird, implausible 401 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:20,359 things happen in a sort of action adventure way. That said, 402 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,200 I'm honestly not sure whether this actually does take the 403 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:29,960 cake for wackiest case, because there are a number of contenders. 404 00:23:30,519 --> 00:23:35,359 I mean, we have heard Johnny deal with Alvin Cartwright 405 00:23:35,599 --> 00:23:43,480 and his unusual animals and Durango Laramie washing cash and 406 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:48,519 selling people acres of his not oil land, so I 407 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,000 think in that way, it's kind of middle of the 408 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:56,240 road in terms of how ranks on the truly wacky meter. 409 00:23:56,759 --> 00:24:02,240 I feel like stating that a Lloyd's of England client 410 00:24:02,519 --> 00:24:07,400 is eccentric is one of those things that really just 411 00:24:07,559 --> 00:24:12,240 be considered as red. I mean, nearly every client they 412 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,640 have is eccentric. Might have something to do with them 413 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:21,440 taking ads out in Eccentric's Weekly, but this is the 414 00:24:21,559 --> 00:24:26,240 reason Johnny gets called in by them. I enjoyed eleanor Audleyan. 415 00:24:27,039 --> 00:24:30,640 She was given a lot of work that just came 416 00:24:30,839 --> 00:24:38,279 down to playing a snootie or snobbish, middle aged or 417 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,400 elderly woman depending on the stage of her career. However, 418 00:24:44,599 --> 00:24:49,000 she could handle media roles. When this episode released, we 419 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,119 were four days away from the release of Sleeping Beauty 420 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,599 and audiences being introduced to Malufficent, and here she gets 421 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,880 to add some color to the character. And while this 422 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,880 is exaggerated, I think that there are many real life 423 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,640 relationships that can have elements where they know that the 424 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:16,039 way the relationship and here we could talk romantic or 425 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,200 in this case familiar. We know the way that this 426 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,839 is functioning is not good for one or both parties, 427 00:25:24,519 --> 00:25:29,319 but we don't know really how to make it work. Now. 428 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,200 While I suppose she could throw him out and do 429 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:38,200 a sort of sink or swim buddy approach, her idea 430 00:25:38,759 --> 00:25:42,480 that in order for him to actually succeed in life 431 00:25:42,839 --> 00:25:46,480 away from her is that he is going to have 432 00:25:46,759 --> 00:25:50,759 to get some gumption and take some initiative. Now, is 433 00:25:51,039 --> 00:25:54,839 inducing him to commit a jule theft the best way 434 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,759 to do this? Probably not, But this is the Floyd's 435 00:25:58,759 --> 00:26:04,359 of England client, So that's about what you'd expect. All right, Well, 436 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,720 listener comments and feedback. Now we have some comments on 437 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:13,920 Spotify regarding the Hollywood Mystery matter, and we start with 438 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:18,359 Don who highlighted my comment this is a middle a 439 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,759 bookkeeper and not the Riddler. Very good, Adam, and thanks 440 00:26:23,799 --> 00:26:27,160 for calling a guy in his sixties middle aged, Unlike 441 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,640 some other programs where anything over forty is played as 442 00:26:30,799 --> 00:26:34,440 elderly looking at you dragging that well. I guess it's 443 00:26:34,519 --> 00:26:37,039 somewhat of the modern perspective. 444 00:26:37,279 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 2: You know. 445 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: They do say that sixty is the new forty. They 446 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,720 also say that forty is the new thirties. But this 447 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,480 does not feel like my thirties. But thanks so much. 448 00:26:50,599 --> 00:26:55,680 Appreciate the comment, don actor who done it rights normally, 449 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,559 Johnny Dowler is a four course meal this and seemed 450 00:27:00,759 --> 00:27:05,039 all appetizer. They missed all the meat and potatoes. You know, 451 00:27:05,279 --> 00:27:10,680 I think that's actually a really fair comparison. And this 452 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,839 tends to happen quite a bit because of the reduction 453 00:27:16,039 --> 00:27:21,279 in episode run time. There's not as much opportunity to 454 00:27:21,839 --> 00:27:25,400 fill the story and to do everything that you might 455 00:27:25,559 --> 00:27:29,880 do if you had saken or twenty six minutes of 456 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:36,519 storytelling time, and so some stuff gets sacrificed in the process, 457 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,359 and Johnstone seems to on occasion sacrifice the wrong thing. 458 00:27:42,079 --> 00:27:45,920 I mean, there are episodes which are twenty minutes and 459 00:27:46,039 --> 00:27:50,240 half of it is Johnny talking to the insurance agent. 460 00:27:50,759 --> 00:27:57,640 Harrison says, I was hoping for more Parly bear in 461 00:27:57,799 --> 00:28:02,759 an episode featuring a character named Parley. That's not even 462 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:08,680 the most extreme underuse of Poorly Bear in one of 463 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,599 these stories. I think the Parly Baron matter, one of 464 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:17,119 the other episodes with a character named Parley, didn't even 465 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,559 have Harley Barron in at all. It's an unusual choice. 466 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:28,559 In most other episodes where Johnstone's naming a character after 467 00:28:28,799 --> 00:28:33,519 an actor, that actor actually appears, like Eric Snowden, but 468 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,920 Parley Bear did not need to actually be in the 469 00:28:37,039 --> 00:28:43,079 episode for a character to be named after him. Vicky writes, interesting, 470 00:28:43,759 --> 00:28:47,799 and John says no expense account this time because he 471 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,400 took the bride from the Pretty and East. I don't 472 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:56,119 think that's in character at all. Also on the not 473 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,359 taking an expense account, not sure why Johnny had the 474 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,039 attitude he did when he was already told no prosecution 475 00:29:04,359 --> 00:29:08,000 was the desire. This is from Mechanics sixty six. And 476 00:29:08,119 --> 00:29:12,279 then why put the bill himself for a miser annually 477 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:17,160 around bad Boss? So I guess a couple of different 478 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,920 issues than those two comments. First of all, I think 479 00:29:20,119 --> 00:29:27,599 that John misunderstood the end. Johnny did not take a bribe. Essentially, 480 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,759 what the niece offered to do was the money that 481 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,680 her uncle had already spent. She offered to make it 482 00:29:33,839 --> 00:29:40,039 good and This pretty much resolved the issue in terms 483 00:29:40,119 --> 00:29:44,079 of the client and in terms of the insurance company. 484 00:29:44,599 --> 00:29:49,440 The boss would be repaid the full amount, the insurance 485 00:29:49,519 --> 00:29:54,240 company would not have to provide anything, and while as 486 00:29:54,319 --> 00:29:59,039 Mechanics sixty six pointed out, the owner did not want 487 00:29:59,119 --> 00:30:03,559 to prosecute, but the thing is that really wasn't the 488 00:30:03,839 --> 00:30:06,480 end of the matter. If they were only able to 489 00:30:06,559 --> 00:30:11,119 make a partial recovery, the insurance company wasn't just going 490 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:16,920 to pay off, smile and walk away. Generally, insurance contracts 491 00:30:17,039 --> 00:30:24,039 require if you're insured, you cooperate with the efforts of recovery, 492 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,079 and the insurance company had a number of tools available. 493 00:30:28,279 --> 00:30:31,960 They could press for prosecution. They could also bring a 494 00:30:32,039 --> 00:30:38,720 civil case, or they could some binding restitution arrangement. Regardless, 495 00:30:39,039 --> 00:30:43,119 Parley wasn't just going to get off the hook scott free. 496 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,599 By her going ahead and being willing to pay the difference, 497 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,759 it could close the matter without the insurance company making 498 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,400 any recovery at all. Though the talk about being a 499 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,920 necessory after the fact was just a bit of nonsense. 500 00:30:59,319 --> 00:31:04,240 As to Johnny refusing the expense account, that tends to 501 00:31:04,359 --> 00:31:09,920 be one of his more eccentric little quirks and it's 502 00:31:10,039 --> 00:31:14,039 usually born out of an emotional reaction, either joy or 503 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:19,119 disgust or sadness. Here, I think it's an expression of 504 00:31:19,359 --> 00:31:24,079 gratitude for the new year. It's an expression that he's 505 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:29,720 happy for Parley Baron because of the false diagnosis and 506 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,759 his niece's kindness, he actually gets a chance to start 507 00:31:34,839 --> 00:31:40,279 his life over again and have some enjoyment rather than 508 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:47,119 working his life away at a job that doesn't care 509 00:31:47,359 --> 00:31:50,759 for him or about him, and therefore have a much 510 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:55,079 better outlook on life. Now, I'll admit I don't totally 511 00:31:55,440 --> 00:32:00,759 understand this instinct. I have had times to mean happy, grateful. 512 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,799 I have never felt so happy that I think I'm 513 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:09,039 gonna go ahead and not charge a large corporation money 514 00:32:09,079 --> 00:32:11,960 they owe me. That is just not a level of 515 00:32:12,039 --> 00:32:18,759 happiness I've achieved. But just as with our eccentric millionaires, 516 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,240 if that's how Johnny wants to spend his money, that's 517 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,160 his business, all right. 518 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:25,519 Speaker 3: Then. 519 00:32:25,599 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: We have a comment on YouTube, this one from Mildred 520 00:32:29,039 --> 00:32:35,160 regarding the recent function upgrades there.
