Youth Players Radio Hour: SIDE #1 Abbott/Costello Costello: Well, I never met the guys, so you’ll have to tell me their names, and then I’ll know who’s playing on the team. Abbott: Oh, I’ll tell you their names, but you know strange as it may seem, they give these ball players now a days, very peculiar names. Costello: You mean funny names? Abbott: Well let’s see, we have on the bags, we have Who’s on first, What’s on second, and I Don’t Know is on third. Costello: That’s what I want to find out. Abbott: I say, Who’s on first, What’s on second, and I Don’t Know’s on third. Costello: Are you the manager? Abbott: Yes. Costello: You going to be the coach too? Abbott: Yes. Costello: And you don’t know the fellow’s names? Abbott: Well I should. Costello: Well then who is on first? Abbott: Yes. Costello: I mean the fellow’s name. Abbott: Who. Costello: The guy on first. Abbott: Who. Costello: The first baseman. Abbott: Who! Costello: The guy playing first base. Abbott: Who is on first. Costello: I’m asking you who’s on first! Abbott: That’s the man’s name.

Abbott: Yeah. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SIDE #2 - Announcer Monologue (Flash Gordon) Announcer: With a grinding crash, the giant idol topples over on the onrushing soldiers of Ming the Merciless, throwing into confusion the whole company. Flash Gordon and prince Thun, with Dale between them, dash into the secret passage beneath the idol. The way becomes steeper. They slip- and fall. Down! Down! A hundred feet or more into a whirling underground river. They're swept along down a raging current and over a falls into a lake. With the powerful strokes of a champion swimmer, Flash sets out for the shore, towing Dale by the hair. They reach the shore, and as Flash reaches down to drag Dale to safety, she screams and disappears beneath the calm surface of the lake, clutched in two powerful green, scaly arms. With no thought of his own safety, Flash Gordon dives to Dale's rescue and finds an adventure stranger than any which has gone before. SIDE #3 - Announcer Monologue (Dick Tracy) ANNOUNCER: The makers of Quaker Puffed Wheat and Quaker Puffed Rice -- those specially digestible, delicious cereals -- now bring you another gripping Dick Tracy adventure. And now listen. Today Dick Tracy tells you how to get a genuine Dick Tracy Secret Ring free! Think of it! A beautiful gold- plated ring with a special secret compartment. Well, now you can wear one, too. And it doesn't cost you a cent. So be sure you're listening in at the end of the program to hear how to get your Secret Dick Tracy Ring free.
