The name of songwriter (?) Gerald Deckhart (?) is invoked. 7:05 - Wally Ballou (Bob) reports from the low-fun Club Tumbleweed in Las Vegas, and interviews the manager about the bland diet and dull activities available to guests. 10:10 - Wally Ballou reports from Mary McGoon's Inn in Turhan Bay, Maine. We hear Mary (Ray) auditioning a new orchestra, comprised of local lobster fishermen, led by Vernon Peabody. The name of the locale, 'Turhan Bay', is a take-off on the name of actor Turhan Bey, who specialized in exotic roles in Hollywood movies from 1941 onward. 13:50 - Biff Burns (Bob) interviews the legendary grand old man of football, Golden Cougars' coach Pop O'Brien of Midwest University, about the flashy 'Slipper' Hanley. 17:40 - Johnny Braddock (Bob) presents another edition of Sports-O-Phone, where people call in and try to guess the sports figure, or figures, that he is, or isn't, talking about. 20:50 - An interview with children's author August T. May (Ray), whose political affiliations may render him a less-than-ideal role model for the youth of America. 24:05 - A commercial for the makers of Bob & Ray Stuff, who are now offering diplomatic immunity at popular prices. 27:20 - Actor Wally Payne (Ray) drops by and talks about his specialty, pain and discomfort.
