I really did laugh out loud at that line. 436 00:30:31,359 --> 00:30:32,640 I caught me a spy. 437 00:30:33,519 --> 00:30:37,359 Speaker 1: Beyond that, this is an interesting episode on a number 438 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,920 of levels. First of all, this has a plot that 439 00:30:42,039 --> 00:30:46,960 I think it does make a case for this being 440 00:30:47,079 --> 00:30:53,039 something plausible that the Germans would try, like some of 441 00:30:53,119 --> 00:30:57,599 the other wartime plots, the idea of bending in a 442 00:30:57,759 --> 00:31:01,480 spy to get the lay of land, or I guess 443 00:31:01,759 --> 00:31:06,920 more appropriate the sea and the operations of. 444 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:09,319 Speaker 17: Boats. 445 00:31:10,599 --> 00:31:16,519 Speaker 1: Mike Sanz, given the German campaign of sabotage, also illustrated 446 00:31:17,039 --> 00:31:20,960 why they in real life didn't actually go through with 447 00:31:21,079 --> 00:31:26,160 a plot like this. The American coastline, particularly in somewhere 448 00:31:27,359 --> 00:31:29,680 like rural Maine, had a lot. 449 00:31:29,559 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 17: Of details that they weren't privy to. Now. When we 450 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:35,319 played Cloak. 451 00:31:35,039 --> 00:31:40,799 Speaker 1: And Dagger, we heard so many characters who had relatives 452 00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:43,880 in Europe had been there once or twice, and that 453 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:48,319 could in some way lay into the assignment. It's a 454 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,920 case of the sort of immigration that happened in the 455 00:31:52,119 --> 00:31:57,119 US being a strength when it came to fighting this war. 456 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:02,960 Having people who were not that far removed from these countries, 457 00:32:03,119 --> 00:32:06,599 Germans did not have as much of that. True, they 458 00:32:06,759 --> 00:32:10,599 did have people who were here, but mostly people who'd 459 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,920 been there before the war. This wasn't somewhere where there 460 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:20,440 was a lot of operation, like in New York City. 461 00:32:21,079 --> 00:32:26,480 So the risk of being caught or missing something because 462 00:32:26,519 --> 00:32:30,599 you didn't have enough local knowledge probably factored in the 463 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:35,079 Germans not taking that sort of risk when it came 464 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:40,880 to their operations, which were quite successful at this time. Now, 465 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:48,079 what the residents did in Loganberry Point was it something 466 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,359 that probably would have happened in real life in nineteen 467 00:32:51,559 --> 00:32:57,319 forty two. It was clearly inspired by real life events. Certainly, 468 00:32:57,599 --> 00:33:02,799 these stories of British civilians who became involved in the 469 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:07,519 war effort and made their own personal strikes against the 470 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:12,119 Nazis had made their way across the Atlantic as the 471 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,759 determination and courage of the British people served as a 472 00:33:18,279 --> 00:33:22,559 rallying cry, and certainly the writers would probably have had 473 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:29,000 things such as the civilians who brought in all sorts 474 00:33:29,079 --> 00:33:35,440 of crafts in order to rescue the British troops at Dunkirk. Now, 475 00:33:35,559 --> 00:33:39,640 obviously the situation was not that dire, and in real 476 00:33:39,759 --> 00:33:42,920 life the circumstance. 477 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,359 Speaker 17: Would have had them waiting on the navy. 478 00:33:45,839 --> 00:33:50,359 Speaker 1: There's a certain cathartic fantasy that's a work in this episode. 479 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:55,200 This isn't just sort of like clownishly unrealistic. There is 480 00:33:55,279 --> 00:33:58,839 a real point to this story. If you were along 481 00:33:59,079 --> 00:34:04,240 the Atlantic in nineteen forty two, the German U boats 482 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:09,880 were a terror to shipping, to the merchant seamen, and 483 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:15,800 so many civilian ships were sunk by Nazi subs. They 484 00:34:16,039 --> 00:34:21,880 really terrorized those Atlantic shipping lanes. There was a series 485 00:34:22,079 --> 00:34:25,000 we did back on a World War II series to 486 00:34:25,119 --> 00:34:29,519 war called battle Stations, which did a really good job 487 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,400 of talking about that. If you were listening to this 488 00:34:34,039 --> 00:34:39,039 in New England in nineteen forty two, there was this 489 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:45,199 sense of average Americans taking on this hated monster who 490 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,840 had taken the lives of so many people who had 491 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,239 set sail just to do the work of merchant seamen. 492 00:34:53,559 --> 00:34:57,760 I kind of wondered about her suggestion that, you know, 493 00:34:58,119 --> 00:35:02,599 German or Japanese. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's not the 494 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,880 Japanese in the Atlantic Ocean. But one other thing that 495 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:10,400 I kept found kind of interesting and seemed really plausible 496 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:16,199 was when a horse was brought out of retirement, which 497 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:22,320 seems like an interesting idea, particularly with the strict gas 498 00:35:22,519 --> 00:35:26,880 rationty and I could see going back to using a 499 00:35:27,039 --> 00:35:33,039 horse if you just stopped and you know, eight years previously. 500 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:38,960 I think I read it as the captain being extra 501 00:35:39,159 --> 00:35:44,159 patriotic and going above and beyond, rather than something that 502 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:49,480 strictly of necessity, because unless you were driving around a 503 00:35:49,559 --> 00:35:53,000 whole lot, and there's no indication that he'd need to, 504 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,039 you could have just kept the car and been using 505 00:35:57,199 --> 00:36:00,639 that just to use your ration book. Now we turn 506 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:05,360 to listener comments and feedback, and we have some comments. 507 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:11,679 One La Fame doctor who done it writes on Spotify 508 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:16,119 woman of unusual beauty, dark's hair and skin. Her hair 509 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,880 is faking her skin, Tony's makeup, and she suggests going 510 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,960 into the water. She must be next level because I 511 00:36:23,039 --> 00:36:25,920 would not have thought of that. And then as wall 512 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,119 As sixty nine writes, I didn't think I would like 513 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,960 this show, but I did. Thanks well, and thank you 514 00:36:32,199 --> 00:36:35,039 for giving it a chance. And then we go over 515 00:36:35,119 --> 00:36:39,079 to YouTube, where Ryn Sir writes, actually on a comment 516 00:36:39,519 --> 00:36:42,880 on a johny Dollar episode, I'm skipping ahead here a 517 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,480 little Adam in your preview at the end of the 518 00:36:45,519 --> 00:36:48,519 show today, you mentioned you were starting Counterspy. Do you 519 00:36:48,639 --> 00:36:51,679 realize that counter spy is the origin of one of 520 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:56,320 the funniest lines ever in old time radio and spoilers. 521 00:36:56,639 --> 00:36:59,199 Speaker 17: He is not referring to I caught me a spy. 522 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 1: Our yours are working for a super secret, clandestine organization 523 00:37:06,679 --> 00:37:11,639 battling the evils of communism wherever it manifests itself around 524 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:16,239 the world. Stealth and anonymity or paramount weapons for these guys. 525 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,679 Then they hop into a city taxi and say take 526 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,320 me to counterspy headquarters. 527 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,880 Speaker 17: And the driver knows where it is. 528 00:37:25,079 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 1: Well, your description reminds me of Get Smart episode the 529 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:38,360 first season where they had this school in a residential 530 00:37:38,559 --> 00:37:44,559 neighborhood and they finished solving the threat and Max was 531 00:37:44,599 --> 00:37:50,960 talking about the importance of keeping their secrets and somebody asked, Hey, 532 00:37:51,199 --> 00:37:56,079 is this the launder And he said, no, no, no, no, that's. 533 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,039 Speaker 17: That's the spy School. 534 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,840 Speaker 1: In all seriousness, though, I think this episode does establish 535 00:38:02,039 --> 00:38:05,519 kind of from the get go that people are aware 536 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,400 of counter spy. Now, if you're going to tell me 537 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:15,239 that this little village in the middle of nowhere knows 538 00:38:16,559 --> 00:38:21,599 about counter spy and knows that they can reach counter 539 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:25,880 Spy by calling the operator in Washington. I'm going to 540 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,480 have a hard time not believing that everyone in the 541 00:38:29,599 --> 00:38:33,880 country also knows about counter Spy and that it's headquartered 542 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,079 in Washington. Now, it will be interesting to see if 543 00:38:37,159 --> 00:38:40,079 they try to make it a bit more secret and 544 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,519 kind of brush away. 545 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:46,400 Speaker 17: Some of these things, which makes it a little better. 546 00:38:46,639 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 1: No, I will say too, that having some sort of 547 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:59,480 public presence doesn't necessarily mean an organization can't keep secrets 548 00:38:59,519 --> 00:39:03,280 and do all of the typical intelligence things. 549 00:39:03,519 --> 00:39:05,880 Speaker 17: You think about the CIA. 550 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:12,800 Speaker 1: You can find their building that's in Langlee, Virginia just 551 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:14,480 by doing a Google search. 552 00:39:14,639 --> 00:39:17,079 Speaker 17: Find out what it looks like and where it is. 553 00:39:17,639 --> 00:39:23,119 Speaker 1: And certainly the CIIA employs many spies who are able 554 00:39:23,199 --> 00:39:29,079 to go overseas and work in a clandestine fashion despite 555 00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:33,840 their organization being well known to the public, although I 556 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:38,800 don't know how many CIA agents come to the building 557 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,920 in Taxis, which would be one thing that. 558 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,079 Speaker 17: Would definitely give their cover away. 559 00:39:45,639 --> 00:39:48,039 Speaker 1: Thanks for the comment.
