0:00For the big show, Bob and Ray carry on their usually delightful chatter. As Radio New York comes into view, the big WOR afternoon all-purpose program. Lots of fun. Lots of laughs with Bob and Ray. I'll see you later. See you in six. Okay, wow. Thank you very much. Very kind words indeed. And, boy, do we have a program arranged today? Well, we have worked hours getting this thing together and, first of all, we want to remind you it's on WOR till 7th of the WOR where you brought the hat. And this is Radio New York. This is the first time that we were up before the McMale arrive this morning getting this program arranged. We're really bearing down on it. Dr. Ollington Garment will be here with that new health feature, you and your symptom. He was here a week ago today and I think probably we've had more mail in regard to Dr. Garment's parents and any other particular individual that we've had so far. Well, you know, we did some deep market research on this and discovered that people are

1:01very health conscious now and just love talking about symptoms and things. So he's filling a real need, I guess. The National Association of Left-Tanded Ladies' Steep O'Jacks is meeting here in New York and we're going to cover that. I don't know whether Blue is prepared to go over there. I told him to come right up and speak up. I told the chair lady, all right, ma'am, but we're not ready to, we're just introducing the program right now. We're not ready to chat. If you go back over. I just want you to know that I was here. You go sit down. I'll go attend my knitting. In the audience section, we'll get to you a little bit later. We may have an expert on the sea otter come along a little bit later. But first, let's get to the business. Ah, let's see. This was the day in 1775, I'm a history expert. This was the day that Patrick Henry introduced a resolution providing for the organization of the militia in order to put the colony in shape for defense, one of his most famous speeches. In it is prophecy of the clash of arms from the north was fulfilled within last summer on April 19th, the Battle of Concord, in Lexington. Oh, really? Well, I'll let's see if I can remember that.

2:03By the bridge, the flood, their flag to April's breeze unfurled, there the empattled farmers stood and fired the shot. Heard round the world. I'm forever amazed at the. They say the older you get the better your memory is, the things you learn in school. I grew up for just six miles away from the market bridge. By the road bridge you asked the flood, and you can still flag to April's breeze unfurled. Boy, I really feel it. Do you want to do the whole thing again? I think I'm, I didn't tape it. My phone is lighting up now. I don't know. It's good or bad. It's bad, I think. Hey, bunny! Well, they said the market could be like a lamb. It's going out like a lion. It is a wally blue and bob again, off-microphone. Well, I mean, really, you know, you think they'd learn that in radio you should speak out of the microphone. I know, I know enough, too, but it appears you don't. You go right down there and blabber with them. Apparently you don't know. But you have to speak into this microphone. Call me over to discuss.

3:03A lot of people are listening on a radio no bigger than this, four by five inches. Yeah, I know. Well, let's pay attention to that. I hate to be cranky this way, especially on, you know, the beginning of the show, we have to be, it'll seven o'clock. For those of you who've been starting off too early, this is a radio in New York with Paul over there, and the ray over here. Isn't that, Ellie, our Gidellanolium stage is being waxed today, so make a few allowances for that, if you will. I'm going to tell you about the ball show, a ballet story. I'd love to hear it even though. They don't. They're terrible. I think they're going to appear or they are going to appear in the next few days or weeks. They appeared at the, that was a square garden a few years ago, and they had overwaxed the stage, and they had not had a chance to practice, and a couple of them fell down as soon as they came out, and it was a benefit performance for my kid's school, would you? Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, I nearly went right through the floor.

4:04I bet you were mortified. Huh. For the least. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. I nearly went right through the floor. I bet you were mortified. I've been invited. It's president, Ms. Wendell Stopdeck of Muscatine, Iowa, to be our guest today. She's here. Ms. Stopdeck, would you come over and take Ray's chair, Ray, would you get up and let him, Ms. Stopdeck? Yes, right here. I want to talk about Sears, but just a minute. Ms. Stopdeck. No, it's Ms. Stopdeck. I'm from Muscatine, Iowa. Oh, I'm sorry. Ms. Wendell Stopdeck. Ah. Want me to hold your meeting? If you would. You come. Coming over there and letting Mrs. Stopdeck sit here with me, do you? Ah. To don't drop the knitting, please, Mr. Goulding. It was nice of you to take time out, ma'am, for your busy convention schedule to come over here today. I know you have a lot to do, and your other members are pretty active and busy, again. Well, my convention schedule isn't really all that busy. Yes, really. You're Bob. Yes, I'm Bob. Yes, I'm Bob.

5:04I mean, Ray was one who gave up and gave you his chair. Oh, wouldn't he? Fine, gentlemen. Yes. Triking looking man, isn't he? Cool. Ray. Ray. We don't have a thing to do, but like Gladys, I knew President that day after tomorrow. You'll be, you already know who the new president is going to be, even though you haven't had him in the election yet. Oh, yes. You see, there are only two left-handed lady Steve O'Jackson in the country. Ah. So we just take turns being President of the Association. Oh, or only in the election, the only business you have to transact then, right? Well, I can't imagine anything else that could possibly come up. I mean, there are never any new innovations in Steve O'Jackson, no? Oh, sure. One year to the next that we could chat about. And the fact that both of us happen to be women certainly doesn't call for any discussion either. I don't suppose the fact that your left-handed presents any special problems you could talk over here. Steve O'Jackson, it doesn't make a particle of difference whether you left-handed or not. Missed, Miss Stoptic, would you get out and let Ray sit there while we do this a Kuh Royale wine commercial? And then I'd like to talk to you some more. Ray, if you just take her position, Miss Stoptic feels, take the knitting and stand over

6:08there. Would you please? I'm all confused with the directions. What should I do? Just stand there. Let's get up, lady. It's all right. I have to do it. Well, she's an elderly lady, Ray. Don't talk to her that way. That doesn't work. Well, I understand. He's as nervous as I am, probably. Miss Stoptic, I can't help but wondering why you bother to hold the conventions or are you set up an association of left-handed lady Steve O'Jackson? It seems like it's, you know, a lot of work for nothing, really. Oh, why don't you wait a minute? Get up and let her sit down. Well, that she was sitting down. Oh, you can. I'm sorry Miss Stoptic. Oh, it's all right. Oh, well, look. I'm nervous as can be. We'll get back to you, man. I guess there's something else we can do. I've dropped even the page in the script. Oh, don't give things like that away, man. Now, what was your question? I said I can't help wondering why you go to all the trouble of having a meeting, and there's only two of you in this group. Well, it's fairly obvious. Glasses and I both come from small, hick towns. And we have to have so much use for going to the big city to get a load on.

7:09So, convention's really something. You talk about back home to give you a reason for going to New York. That's basically it, except that we don't always come to New York. Last year, we went to San Francisco. Oh, that's a beautiful town. But we weren't too happy with it. Now, climbing up and down those hills was so much like the kind of walking we do every day on steeples back home, you know. So, we gave New York the Narbissia gig. We considered Chicago, but then we figure the time square here in New York would be a better place for us to stand on the street and whistle at sailor. That's one of your big convention activities. This stop deck, you know, we're going up to 3 o'clock, 3.30 here. And we do want to hear from Ms. Truman. And Ray, I believe, has an announcement that you like to do. So, if you just stand back over there with your knitting and we'll let Ray go ahead, okay? All right. Say. Just told me, Ms. Toppick, that one of the things you do is stand on the street corners and whistle at sailor when you're here in New York. Well, I find that a little bit. We always put it on the agenda, but of course, once the sailors get a look at us, that's the end of that. Yeah. I think we may give it up completely in 3 or 4 years if we don't start having a little better life.

8:12Well, I haven't seen Gladys the other member, but I've competed in the one I know. I can't see much point in keeping it up for no 3 or 4 years. No, I suppose you're right. We just keep hoping that some extremely near-sighted sailors might come along. Do you do anything else at all during the convention besides getting stoned and whistling at sailor? Well, we have the usual activities that you'd find at any convention. You know, we dropped bags full of water at our hotel room window. Yes. Sure. And we keep the lobby in the turmoil with our joy and buzzers and things like that. Well, I know Ray and I have often wondered about fascinating lives that you left in. It's ladies, people get quite late, and I'm sorry we found out actually. Well, thank you, Bob. Okay. You're too, Ray. It's a pleasure being here. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for coming, Ray. I'll cherish. I'm sure you will. We'll give you a tape to recording of your guest interview here, Ms. Toppick. Ms. Wendell Stopdack of Muscatine, Iowa. Are you out in the hall talking with Artie Skirmhorn? He's, uh, wondering whether the party might run for controller if Wally decides to run from there.

9:17Well, it is. Well, I mean, why would he have to check with Artie if Wally wants to do it again? I don't know. And your name came up too, Whitley. He's, uh, thinking of you with a tree award. Yeah, no, I had to joke. You know, I don't want any public office. Like, I am enough responsibility that it is just trying to keep myself dressed and spread me out of the rain. What I'm worrying about, the other things. It's, uh, if I can take care of myself or think I've done a job, well done. I'll leave it. It's an accomplishment for anybody. These days. I had four postcards a day. Uh, I know you'll laugh at me. Refusing that I played jealousy all the way through. It's very opportunity. Or today, do you think I might never have worked at it? And it's about three minutes. It would be up to, uh, producer Bob Talley. Uh, uh, decide whether or not we could allow the time, the entire number. I don't, I really don't know. Is he following the control with Bell's other shoes? Yes. Don't turn up toes on the end of the day. You know, I'll go shoppers here. All right. Right. producer. And he said I have a fat chance to play today. Oh, I'm sorry. That's right.

10:17What do you mean in that grade? That means you won't have a chance to play it. Fat chance is, uh, is a, is a term he uses. Oh, I thought that would be sure. Oh, I don't think so. I don't know until well. What is it then? Well, if he said you have a fat chance to play jealousy into it. No, I'm sure. Well, good opportunity. I thought it's been chance you wouldn't have any chance. But a fat chance. No, but when you see a young man, when you use the phrase, think it up. No, a young man. Don't talk down to resolve. When you, when you do that. When you say you got a fat chance in me, you really do me your self. My self? Yes. You're ridiculing the way I talk now. No, but I'm just saying if he said you. Oh, you're new, Bob is really coming out. And you're going to get mail for my friend. Well, if he said you got a fat chance, I would think that means you don't have much to get out the final studio and discuss this. Oh, yeah. Give the folks the wallet. You're the surgeon, really? I just came into the studio. Okay.

11:17We don't let you just walk in that way. Hey, right for Gussie. Oh, I saw you through that little window on the door there. I can hardly believe my eyes. I guess you decided to just go ahead and believe them even though you hardly could. And that's where you made your big mistake. I'm not going for Gussie. Bob, Kelly? No. Gosh, you're a dead ranger for him. Well, no harm done. What do I worry about working in a radio studio? He's never done anything but sell earth-govering equipment ever since he was a kid. You know, I wonder what he'd be doing in here. I didn't know that. Yeah, yeah. He was with the carway bulldozers for at least 25 years now. In fact, I guess he and he had their silver wedding anniversary last year. Have you ever met Edith? No, I've never even met Roy. So you've made a whole hey, you'd love her. Wonderful, girl. Great sense of humor, too. I remember one time, eight or ten years ago, we're holding a Midwest convention out in Indianapolis and Roy brought Edith along with him. And well, you know the lobby of the Claypool Hotel. I was laid out up. No, no. I've never been there. Oh, really? I guess you must have missed the convention idea, right? I think I did, yeah.

12:17Well, anyway, a bunch of us were sitting on the lobby waiting for the afternoon session and the unused dump trucks and stuff to begin. And Roy and Edith were there, of course, and all of a sudden, up come Roy's boss, old man Conway. Oh, but you know what a stuff shirt he is. You know, I don't, I'm not acquainted with him, see? You know what I'm thinking, you know what Roy? He's been, he's been in fifth moving since way back when. I don't know, way out of sight. He started out with a line of the old models that were still pulled by horses. You remember those? No. I always grandfathered, they even worked the Conway in the early days. Well, anyway. I guess you're not all up to remember, Roy. I don't remember him. I don't remember. Well, anything. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be old enough. It must be 35, 40 years now since he went to his glory. You don't have to think of it. Well, I guess scooped up by a steam shovel he was demonstrating. He probably read about it in the papers as well. No, I don't think so. I don't remember that. I guess he wouldn't be old enough anyway. It was at least 35, 40 years ago. There was a kid then. But I remember my dad telling me about it. Do you ever eat my dad? I don't know what's his name. Same as mine. Oh, I don't know yours. I don't know yours. Oh, look. I'm going to hide up on that boy, either. Ah!

13:17It was Roy I was telling you about. I don't know. It took him past with brothers, y'know? Well, I don't if we'd ever have an occasion to try it. I suppose not. Now, what was I starting to tell you? I don't know. I kind of hope you started to say goodbye. Because we haven't. I'd have been it. Well, it's been nice talking to you. And the next time I see Roy, I'll give him your guide. Yeah, do that. I'd like to hear from him. Maybe. It's a dark moment. Either one. You can go in the front way or the back way doesn't matter. Stop. The match. Remember at the DIC? I didn't like the wedding. Who was after Ray? The wedding. I hadn't been told about this, gentlemen. Well, he's the head of our... And, of course, he's... Oh, yeah. It's a dark lipo warning. Of course. Wow. I gave you the age since I spoke to you last. Well, you and I are the same age. I remember. Now, you've just arrived with the results of a survey doctor. So, we haven't seen much of you in the past few months. How have you been? Well, actually, my condition has not remained constant. It's about the period of Australia.

14:1814% of the time I felt perfectly all right. 77% of the time I had a terrible toothache. And the remaining 9% of the time I had no opinion. Oh, kind of shape, I was there. Well, it's none of my business. You had a toothache 77% of the time. Why didn't you go to see a dentist? Well, I tried to on a number of occasions, but 47% of the dentists I call were too busy to give me an appointment. 28% were taking the day off. And the 25% had quit private practice to develop their full time of doing toothpaste commercials. Now, I can understand what I think is the long to finish a survey for you to bog down just compiling all of these statistics about your own teeth, huh? Well, no. I compile most of those on my own time. That's just the toothache kept me up all night anyway. All right. The reason the survey took so long was that I wanted to find the most typical group possible before conducting my poll. You see, the question this time was quite trial controversial, I suppose you could say. It was, do you approve of the policies of the next administration thus far? Well, that's a corker of a question, doctor. When you finally locate the typical cross-section of America that you were looking for,

15:20in Kansas City, Missouri, among the student-bodied Miss Wingles kindergarten. You trying to tell me the average American is a child in kindergarten? Yes, and the odds will surprise myself. The thing worked out that way. But in this Wingles, the typical student is just under five and a half years old, has a weekly income of approximately seven to eight cents in that area. That doesn't go far these days. No, and it's not contemplating marriage in the foreseeable future. That's your idea of being average, huh? Oh, yeah. It's not my idea at all, Ms. Talieth. It represents the findings of my high-speed computer. Of course, I'll admit the computer has good points in the while. The level of models, is it? No, it's not. In fact, I could have myself thought of parts from a 1929 Essex. It's not always accurate, but it still gives me about 18 computations to the gown. Even in city traffic. Well, as long as you've interviewed these little types, I guess you might as well tell us what they think of Mr. Nixon. Well, in foreign policy, 1% approved of the way the president was handling things, 1% disapproved, and the remaining 98% never heard of them. And I guess the opinions on foreign domestic policy work out probably the same. Bob, can I step in here and interrupt you, fellas?

16:21You're right. Sure. Because it's almost newstime here at Radio New York with Bob, and with Ray, and with Mr. Warning. Oh, well, Henry Gladstone's going to do the news. You bet he is. Right here at W.R. New York. You have time. Uh, Wally Blue is still undecided, as are several other prominent persons, as to whether or not he will run for mayor of our fine city. We expect that we will be the first to hear. You will hear it first here on Bob and Ray Radio New York. I'm sure he's waiting to see which way former mayor Wagner is going. If he says yes, then I think Wally is going to jump in, too. Is that Wagner? No, it's pronounced Wagner. Oh. Wally, I... You could present Wagner. I don't know if I was here before he was mayor. He was mayor of Agna. I guess then. Probably you're right, mayor of Agna. No, no, I don't want to change any... Well, he may pronounce it Wagner for all I know. I think he does, I think he does.

17:24Next, Mary Backstage Noble White, the story of Americans' favorite family of the footlights, and their fight for security and happiness against the concrete height of Broadway. It's several days after our last episode now. The offer from the theater in Seattle has been accepted by Greg Marlow, young playwrights secretly in love with Mary, and rehearsals have already begun at a theater in New York, preparatory with their leading for the West Coast. Outside the rehearsal hall, we see Greg, Mary Harry and Calvin, together with pop beloved stage door, man, as they discuss. Yes, I made the final arrangements with the chap in Seattle. We're going to open there in the space needle restaurant. Well, first of April, all very exciting. Greg? Can I try a risky... Well, what do you mean, Calvin? The first day to start that, Eddie. Oh, he don't go by those old superstitions.

18:25Well, because of the rush of time, I've had the chorus. Well, let's step inside the theater here at the rehearsal hall, and I've had the chorus working since 10 o'clock this morning. Oh, good. This is the finale of the first day. I have been making activity. We certainly enjoyed reading the script of a play, Greg. It's fire, girl. Let's take a look at it. Just the thing for us. What would you be leaving for Seattle, Greg, did all? I think we'll go out the 29th of March. At least I have much time to get used to the theater out there. Well, we'll be there. We'll take you six hours to get out there, you know? All right. But I need we'll be opening a couple of days later, we... So you need real troops? Fire, girl. You know, that chorus is doing pretty good. We're only having been rehearsing for a few hours now. Well, there are seasoned troopers, too. Season Troopers. Oh, all right. Fire, girl.

19:25Mary, do you think you're going to be able to carry the musical numbers? I don't know as I can dance like I used to. Watching those young girls out there now. Getting a little frighten. Take a break, girl. I'll do that. Oh, okay. Take a break, girls. You mean you don't time the producer of this show? You don't you forget. You don't know whether you'll be able to sing the songs very to dance the numbers. Is that what you're afraid of? It's there. What did you say? I say you're afraid of singing the numbers, dancing the numbers. Are you talking to me? Oh, Mary, I'm talking. Oh! And no. No, I just don't think I can dance like I used to. Hey, who's that coming into the back of the theater? It certainly looks familiar to me. Yes, he does to me, too. Oh. It's... It's Harry backstage, Jr. Harry backstage, Jr. Your sword, Mary. Hold from college. Hold from college.

20:27And so as rehearsals go on, Harry backstage, Jr. returns to his parents' life. Will this effect their trip to Seattle and the opening of Westchester Furioso, their new play? Sure, and join us tomorrow, and we'll hear Mary say, you mean your father has to go and talk to the dean? That's tomorrow in the next exciting episode of Mary backstage, Noble White. Word guy, speaking. We have been talking a little bit earlier with the director of our Bob and Ray public opinion poll, Dr. Leopold Werning. And he had had some results of different lines. The lines in the directorate that 98% had never heard of the president, you see. Yeah, but you were taking these findings among kindergarten students. I understand all that, but that's where the computer turned it out. I spoke with him. The opinions on domestic policy weren't the same. Well, not quite. Now, there was an added factor there in that 56% of those interviewed

21:28didn't know what the word domestic meant. No, I wouldn't think they would. That would, of course, throw the other thing is all off. Anything else at all? Yes, I found that Drought is 38% kind of to your hands and other leading detergents. What was that have to do with President Nixon? Nothing, but I can't even cover my travel expense on what you birch, baby. I think a 75 bucks to split that plug in. I can see. Drought. I also found that four times out of five, a quick shot of Huggins' gin. Come on. Come on. When Billy leaves his bike in the driveway, he gets 75 for that one too. Oh, just 50. Plus, he is a supply of the sponsor's product. But I'll never. Fine, because you'll probably need it to celebrate your unemployment. Wish you stick to business in the future. I think I grasp what you're trying to say. I'll better get to work on my next project sooner than I'd plan. All right. Come on, Marvin Raine. No, Dr. Worning sets off to conduct another of his vital surveys and will keep you posted on the informative results as soon as his int clears enough to tabulate them and he comes back if he does. I mean, you know, we haven't glad to see you, Dr. Arlington Garmin. Did you have any trouble getting here from now on?

22:28Oh, right. Right into a harness nest there when I came through the detection machine at the airport. I have a set of keys and a cigar there on my part. All right. Point pen makes you feel a little bit tight. It was given to me for my birthday several years ago. Right. But it's all worth it. It's very, very good. It's a small delay that it causes. You know, even the metal on my guard is. I was really checked out pretty completely. Well, you know, you're clean and now, huh? Well, we're happy to welcome Dr. Garmin and his speech for you and your symptoms is going to have to break up some of these letters because he has so many. And as I said earlier, your appearance here last week is one of the most successful of any of our guests today. This person is from a lady in, I guess, that what is it? Miniola. Miniola. One of them. She writes, for some reason, I keep growing a whole new set of teeth every spring, usually in April. I wouldn't care except that I feel the money I spend on dental work is wasted because I have no, I have so little time to enjoy my new fillings

23:31before entirely different teeth come in. Is there any way I get up my old fillings transferred to my new teeth without running into a lot of additional expense, Dr.? Well, I had a case similar to this in my own practice. It involved a chameleon. Oh, I grew a new tail every year just as the skin blemishes on his own and we're starting to clear up. Now, I advice there. Well, wait, I don't see any similarity in the two cases. Nothing that has to do with the chameleon's tail could apply to this woman's stillings. Really? Well, you know, in a medical school, I told us that messing around with animals would give us a rough idea of how to experiment on people later in all kinds of cases. Well, surely, why are we going to give this woman the same way advice I gave the chameleon? What was that? I climb more trees and eat more bugs. Okay, well, I hope you help to give that woman an answer. We'll have some more letters and some more questions for you right now. We're going to have this word. Thank you, John.

24:31It's quarter past the hour five and it's Thursday afternoon, the 22nd of March. Hitting colder by the hour by one degree in our husband. Yeah, the temperature now is 39 degrees. Surely. Or I guess today, as we said, it's Dr. Arlington Garmt with you and your symptoms. I hope that I'll be hitting some of the people with the same symptoms that whose letters were reading, Dr. Arlington. Oh, sorry. You know, at any given time, I said a symptoms. Probably would fit several hundreds of thousands of people around this country. On the other hand, how many people have got your own disease? And I know you'll ever wear that sorted occasionally. Well, it doesn't strike too many people. No. No, this is probably the world. We'll ask you to stand by because... As Rick Frisbee, author of Mary Backstage, just a word here, I know you have definite physical taste. You have anything particular you'd like to hear? We're going to take a little break for a song. No, I don't have any particular. And Bob, you know, always had to refer to me as Chester Hasbrook Frisbee. My friend's called me Chet or Chester.

25:33Well, I am of the old radio school that likes to identify. My guest, Chester Hasbrook Frisbee, as I've talked to them. Oh, all right. So you rob it, frack it, Ellie. So my listeners will know if you have no choice then. I'll go right to Jonas Jones. Well, I'm sure a favorite of Chester Hasbrook Frisbee. Mr. Wagner would make up his mind one way or the other, so as Wally Blue can make up his mind. You're not basing your decision on what Mr. Wagner said. I think he is, if I've actually... I'll just go tell you. Oh, Wally, discuss it. Let's listen to that. We have Dr. Garmt with us and Dr. I have a few more letters with people who have symptoms that I think I'd like to have answered before we get up to the 6 o'clock market. No, I don't know. All right, I don't know. Give me any older maiden. I can't stare out my smile. We'll find time for you. Okay? Of course.

26:33You're not getting testy, are you? No, but I've been here for over two hours. I've had quite an experience with the airport. I know you. He's bearing his teeth at me, ladies and gentlemen. And displaying his displeasure. Having two feet all over. Yeah, yeah. Fadiol, New York. Here at 710WOR and Dr. Arlington Garmt. I guess with you and your symptoms, a quick letter here, Dr. from gentlemen and queens. I've been breathing through my mouth for so long that my nose is shriveling out because it doesn't have any function. My local doctor suggests that I get my nose back into shape by using it for other things like opening cans and hoeing the garden. I think this is a ridiculous advice. What do you say? Well, I don't like to go against the recommendations of a patient's regular physician, especially since I have a hunch I know the local doctor involved in this case. I think we were thrown out of the air made together in the class of the 38th. I like to appreciate how you feel and I won't go any further with that in any way.

27:37Thank you very much, the signal has been given to me by our producer, Rob Tyley, today. Dr., let's get right back to a letter here. I can find one. Let me see, I think this is from a gentleman in Oklahoma. Is that the right one? Yes, it's a lady in Oklahoma. Let me read it for you, bomb. All right, but this is the question is... I'm sorry, I've lost my place. I don't know where I am. All right, let me point out. Would you go on top with Ray for a while? We have a few minutes of your microphone. Okay, Ray, you want to come over? Sure. Oklahoma lies right in the center of an extremely heavy pollen belt. So I'm not the least bit surprised that this woman suffers terribly from hay fever. The only thing I can't understand is why she continues to stay there and take it. My advice is that she start packing immediately and move to the upper peninsula of Michigan. It's amazing the way some people want to put herself. It's kind of amazing the way some doctors give advice for they know what they're talking about. The weather doesn't mention hay fever doctor.

28:38She's got an ingrown fingernail on her left pinky and that's strange. I've never heard of every pollen count manifesting itself in the fingernails. Well, maybe the condition that's discussed in the medical book I just used for a lifestyle. I guess you wouldn't know how to treat an ingrown nail without reading the book. Not when the Oklahoma pollen factor's involved. I've got to check on her right away. All right. And I have to practice there now the plane. New York license has been revoked. All right. Dr. Hollington, garment, you and your symptoms. Thank you for being here today. I'm sorry to have held you up for this long. Who's draped himself on half a roll of seats. Here, you try to take a little nap before you go. Oh, I'm not the least bit. Sleevee is just a new type of exercise program running through. Well, now you don't see to be running through anything, least of all of it. Exercise program is just lying there like a strand of wet spaghetti. How can you tell me that this is exercise? Well, that's sorry. I always look when I'm exercising. I let one group of muscles, you know, let go after another. And eventually here I am just completely loose all over. This is all supposed to keep you physically fit. Well, no, not really. It tends more to convert sinew into flab. And there, it partially gets so rotten that you look like you have a pint, even when you don't.

29:41Oh, that sort of thing, you know. Yeah, well, if the exercise is just turning into physical rink, why do you bother with it? Well, I've tried to put myself on a lot of other conditioning programs before a bar, but this is the first one I've really been able to stick wet. Well, it sounds like a bee-pilly. So, I guess it develops a self-discipline, even if it makes you fall to pieces, otherwise, you know. Yeah, well, if you're on a lot of willpower, I'll be able to lie there as long as you have it. Because we've had some exciting things going on. Oh, I'll be right here, even Durham. Stand low backs on the sports news. All right. Right now, it's Henry Gladstone, though, in the regular news. It's stocks, and then we'll be back to continue whatever this is that we've begun. I don't know whether we've been wise in New York. So it's radio in New York. Oh, right. With Bob and Ray. It's 630 WOR in New York. Thank you, Stan. So that's all the sports news, eh? All right. I certainly had a great time this afternoon. It's been four hours, but still it's been four hours, and our talk has been here in between. We've had just so much fun, and we hope that you've been able to share a little bit of it with us, my dear friends.

30:43Say if you get in town in your car, be sure to get on and get a look at Times Square at some place. Sure, drive your car. Right. That you say. Well, that's it for today. We'll see you all again tomorrow at 315. Until then, this is Ray Goulding, reminding you to write if you get worked. Me, Bob Elliott, reminding you to hang by your thoughts. This is WOR.
