Rush: Agreed!
Rush: I have heard some horror stories!
Matt1: It has a place, but the cost at ours is double…..and when you talk retirement, you start counting the savings

Rush: Recap here…
sarabell2: Did these episodes come on once a day, a week? Do you know?
Rush: CC’s young friend is the local sheriff.
Rush: I think they were once a week.
sarabell2: Thanks
Rush: If I am correct!
Rush: 🙂
mda19083: not wild about this Chan portrayer
Rush: I stand corrected: (1936) “The Adventures of Charlie Chan”, a 15-minute radio drama, debuts on the Mutual Broadcasting System, airing weekday evenings at 5:15.
Rush: So, this was a daily program.
sarabell2: OK thanks. I would not think people had the attention span for a weekly program, I would not
Rush: I believe this Chan was portrayed by Walter Connolly.
Rush: “Thank you…so much.”
mda19083: TYSM Rush
Rush: Holt is the young sheriff.
Rush: He took over for his father who is now blind.
Rush: Her husband is a pilot of the plane that was flying over the house when landini was killed.
Rush: Ward is the owner of the home where all this is happening.
Rush: Commercial break…
mda19083: there is that music again
Rush: Yes!
Matt1: It’s like weather music
Rush: The listeners would only hear a little of it.
hounder: i’m back. i’ll wait for the movie
Rush: Here Chan “pierces the fourth wall.”
mda19083: man who sit on tack better off
Rush: “Thank you and good night…”
Rush: To applause….
Rush: YES, MDA!
sarabell2: Thank you mda
Rush: 🙂
Matt1: <clap-clap>
Rush: Okay…more of this case next week!
mda19083: this would be better with sound effects

Rush: Watermelon sounds good…always!
sarabell2: Spit it at the launch, put watermelon in space
mat: if you eat watermelon,y will suck seed! get it?
hounder: i stay away from spitoons after i got my hide tanned as a child for kicking over my great grandfathers spitoon.
Rush: It then becomes sweet and sour watermelon!
