You'll admit that 369 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,079 I do the best I can. Then there's always the 370 00:21:01,079 --> 00:21:04,359 coffee and doughnuts. The boys expect them standing fair for 371 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:05,079 places like this. 372 00:21:05,319 --> 00:21:05,559 Speaker 2: Sure. 373 00:21:05,759 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 11: Now, at once I got a bright idea put in 374 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,079 a ping pong pong table, build it myself, you know, 375 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,960 ping pong for the boys, a little physical exercise.

Well, he's just 539 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:56,880 like a big brother to me. 540 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 2: It's the journey to the end of all the other 541 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,680 streets in the world, this broadway. You turn a corner 542 00:29:24,759 --> 00:29:29,319 and you're there. Walk it slowly, lean your heart against it, 543 00:29:30,039 --> 00:29:34,359 shop for the kicks, the bargains, the heartbreak, until it 544 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:41,160 all explodes in your face. It's Broadway, the gaudiest, most violent, 545 00:29:42,519 --> 00:29:48,160 the lonesomest mile in the world. Broadway My Beat. 546 00:30:03,119 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 3: Broadway's My Beat stars Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover, 547 00:30:07,119 --> 00:30:11,319 with Charles calvernest Artaglia and Jack Krushian as Muggavin. The 548 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,720 program was produced and directed by Elliott Lewis, with musical 549 00:30:14,759 --> 00:30:18,920 score composed and conducted by Alexander Courage. In tonight's story, 550 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,839 Howard mcneer was heard as Leo Compton. Featured in the 551 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:26,039 cast were Billy Hallop, Lou Krugman, Joe Forte, and Francis Cheney. 552 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,440 Two styles of music, both tops in popularity, are heard 553 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,799 every Sunday over most of these same CBS stations. Guy 554 00:30:34,839 --> 00:30:36,599 Lombardo's Sweetest Music. 555 00:30:36,359 --> 00:30:37,759 Speaker 2: This Side of Heaven is one. 556 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 3: The others the singing style of Mario Lanza New vocal 557 00:30:41,279 --> 00:30:45,400 sensation of the airwaves Enjoy God Lombardo and his Royal Canadians, 558 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,920 and the Mario Lanza Show Tomorrow Night Stay two Now 559 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,400 for Us Sing It Again, which follows immediately over most 560 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,160 of these same CBS stations. 561 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 9: Bill Anders speaking, This. 562 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 3: Is CBS where you meet Adventure with Charlie Wilde on 563 00:30:58,039 --> 00:31:00,279 Sundays on the Columbia Broadcast. 564 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:15,279 Speaker 9: System, Welcome back. 565 00:31:15,559 --> 00:31:18,799 Speaker 1: This one in the second half of the episode really 566 00:31:18,839 --> 00:31:23,880 became much more of a character study than much of 567 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,240 a mystery, and the killer's own actions are what gave 568 00:31:27,319 --> 00:31:30,839 him away. I mean, Tartaglia solve this, and I don't 569 00:31:30,839 --> 00:31:33,440 say that in any way to disrespect, you know, but 570 00:31:33,559 --> 00:31:36,920 that's not typically the thing he does. But pretty much 571 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,759 he's like, ohh let's just go ahead and call this here. 572 00:31:41,839 --> 00:31:45,640 This is really really suspicious. And really after that it 573 00:31:45,759 --> 00:31:51,119 was just kind of revealing the sort of person he 574 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:56,000 actually was that led him to taking the actions he did. 575 00:31:56,559 --> 00:32:00,000 And of course Howard mcneer did a good job as always, 576 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,440 and I think it was an interesting episode. Is this 577 00:32:03,559 --> 00:32:05,720 type of thing that's okay every once in a while, 578 00:32:05,759 --> 00:32:09,640 I wouldn't want to see all the time. There was 579 00:32:09,839 --> 00:32:12,960 one thing that kind of threw me a bit and 580 00:32:13,319 --> 00:32:18,200 was a reminder that sometimes words might still say the 581 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,720 same things, but they don't mean the same things. Because 582 00:32:21,839 --> 00:32:25,720 when the rescue mission guy said he had four donuts 583 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:30,200 and automatically that this was, like, what, because four of 584 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,559 donuts that I tend to eat when I eat donuts, 585 00:32:34,599 --> 00:32:38,200 and I don't eat them very often anymore, but four 586 00:32:38,279 --> 00:32:41,160 donuts that'll put you in a sugar coma, or at 587 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,680 least would be pretty close to it. But these were 588 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:49,519 not twenty first century donuts. These were nineteen fifties donuts, 589 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:54,880 which were quite a bit smaller, denser, and they were 590 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,519 not super sugary. Maybe a little bit of a lot 591 00:33:00,519 --> 00:33:04,839 or some sugar dusting. Plus, these were donuts that he 592 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:09,359 got at the rescue mission now rescue missions, And I 593 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,759 believe this still goes on today. It certainly went on 594 00:33:13,319 --> 00:33:18,720 while I was growing up because my maternal grandfather helped 595 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:23,200 collect food for a local rescue mission. He got day 596 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:29,160 old groceries and food items that could be shared with 597 00:33:29,319 --> 00:33:33,400 these sort of ministries. So usually you'd be looking at 598 00:33:33,519 --> 00:33:38,720 day old donuts. So essentially, a guy eating four donuts 599 00:33:38,799 --> 00:33:41,640 at the rescue mission says, this is a guy who 600 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,960 a bit desperate, maybe a bit of a nervous eater. 601 00:33:45,319 --> 00:33:49,079 It's not necessarily sort of pigging out sort of thing 602 00:33:49,279 --> 00:33:53,480 like that might signal if you were dealing with modern donuts. 603 00:33:53,599 --> 00:33:57,200 All right, listener comments and feedback now and we have 604 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,799 a comment over on you Tube. But regarding the Howard 605 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:06,440 Crawford murder case, Ryan Sir writes, I find it interesting 606 00:34:06,519 --> 00:34:09,800 and funny how the announcer will not say Broadway's My Beat. 607 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,920 English teachers thought it was sacrilege to use apostrophes, so 608 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,760 in proper English, the title is Broadway is My Beat. 609 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:23,159 But that's three twenty not The show's title contractions were 610 00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:26,719 frowned upon big time by the way, you sound the 611 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,800 same from Orlando as you do from Boise Well, thanks 612 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:34,559 so much. The whole question of what this series is called, 613 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,880 I talked about it way way back. I think it 614 00:34:38,119 --> 00:34:41,119 was either the first or second episodes, so I'm not 615 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:46,480 going to rehash that because it's a lot. But even 616 00:34:46,559 --> 00:34:51,159 when the series was airing, they couldn't really seem to 617 00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:55,119 agree on what it should be called. In fact, different 618 00:34:55,599 --> 00:35:01,000 newspaper listings would have the show as Broadway My Beat, 619 00:35:02,039 --> 00:35:05,719 and other listings would have it as Broadway is My Beat. 620 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,519 It was thought the definitive answer was found when someone 621 00:35:09,639 --> 00:35:14,599 found a script page at one of the writer's papers 622 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,559 and it had Broadways My Beat on it. But then 623 00:35:19,599 --> 00:35:24,360 there were other scripts that had Broadway is My Beat. Now, 624 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,679 it used to me that the consensus in the old 625 00:35:26,679 --> 00:35:30,320 time radio community was that the title of the series 626 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,039 is Broadway is My Beat. But the weight of evidence 627 00:35:34,159 --> 00:35:38,679 has slightly tapped in the favor of Broadways My Beat, 628 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,320 and so that's what we go with. But it is 629 00:35:41,519 --> 00:35:45,280 a fraud issue as to sounding the same in Orlando. 630 00:35:45,599 --> 00:35:48,599 I'm glad to hear it, and for that, I really 631 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:54,440 am grateful for my microphone, which I've been through many 632 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,480 over the years. Right now, I'm using the A Labs 633 00:35:57,679 --> 00:36:02,079 wireless and it's so good at not picking up stuff 634 00:36:02,119 --> 00:36:05,000 other than me. I did have a few moments when 635 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:09,639 I was recording in Orlando because the hotel I was 636 00:36:09,679 --> 00:36:14,320 staying at was right near the SeaWorld, just about half 637 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,119 a mile away, so it was a busy part of town, 638 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,559 and there would be these like little bursts of noise 639 00:36:20,599 --> 00:36:23,119 while I was recording, and I would hear it, and 640 00:36:23,159 --> 00:36:27,760 I stopped the recording check and I wouldn't make it 641 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,880 on the recording. And most of the stuff, even around 642 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,280 my house, it doesn't capture. And I check whenever I 643 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,079 think it might, and usually it doesn't. Although I have 644 00:36:37,199 --> 00:36:42,320 been advised that my son has already made a cameo. 645 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,599 Someone heard him in the background and I didn't catch it. 646 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,559 And I believe my cat as well, but usually it 647 00:36:49,599 --> 00:36:52,960 does just a great job filtering that out. All right. Well, 648 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,760 now it's time to think our Patreon supporter of the 649 00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,159 day and I want to go ahead and thank elazare 650 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:04,039 on supporter since July twenty twenty one, currently supporting the 651 00:37:04,159 --> 00:37:07,440 podcast at the Shawmas level of four dollars more per month. 652 00:37:07,599 --> 00:37:10,119 Thanks so much for your support, Eliza, and that will 653 00:37:10,119 --> 00:37:13,079 do it for today.
