41-12-01 Vic's Trip to Plant Number 17

STARRING: ART VAN HARVEY, BERNARDINE FLYNN AND BILL IDELSON

Vic is in a rush because his boss is sending he and Ike Kneesuffer on a trip to Dubuque, Iowa (Plant Number 17) at the last minute. However, the Gooks have visitors and Sade keeps inisisting Vic take the time to say hello to them. He hasn't the time! And Ike is outside wanting Vic to hurry up - the train leaves in 15 minutes!

________________________

Whenever Vic is in a hurry, it seems that it's because of his boss and Sade is always in the business of delaying him!

Trivia:

+ The Gook kitchen has a gas stove.

+ Plant Number 17 is in Dubuque, Iowa. In the past, we found out Gus Fuss and L. Wiley Phapp work there and each are mentioned in this episode also. We also learned, in an earlier episode, that there is the Soverign Saturn Chapter of the Sacred Stars of the Milky Way in Dubuque and 4 of it's members are Cully Gratch, E.M. Blurk, H.B. Slyze and Axel Fungal.

+ Visiting the Gooks are Bert Tyson, his wife Winnie Chugman-Tyson and Bert's cousin, Mis' Geck, who is asleep upstairs in Vic and Sade's bed. It's the first time these three have been mentioned.

+ The telephone number for the taxi service in town is #6759-J.

Vic shouting to Ike Kneesuffer and the shout's effects on Winnie and her man crack me up every time.

The kids loiterin' 'round the switchboard

Hi-de-hi-Ho-de-ho! My name is Jimbo. Shortly after finding Vic and Sade in 2010, I realized that finding the information I wanted about the show was pretty much non-existent. That's when I set out to solve that situation and do it myself.

Little did I know that in a parallel universe, Barbara Schwarz and The Friends of Vic and Sade were doing/had done the same exact thing I was doing - except very little of the info they had collected was on the internet.

Thanks to member Louie Johnson, the two materials were married and I went about adding everything they had to what I already had done. (Louie went way beyond the point of being generous in terms of sharing material)! Others have donated V&S material and I thank you.

Along the way, I was wise enough to get oceans of contributions from as many fans as possible, but especially from Lydia Crowe, (who is in the process of painstakingly taking the audio episodes and turning them into scripts -- plus she's adding commentary to go along with mine), Sarah Cole (whose Vic and Sade insight remains unparalleled) and Keith Heltsley (he frequently podcasts the show and makes his own comments). Dave (from Wisconsin) has shared his insight and expertise with us in a series of articles and his love for the show shines through them all.

The book by John Hetherington, Vic and Sade on the Radio: A Cultural History of Paul Rhymer's Daytime Series 1932-1944, is full of new material and it has opened up a whole new avenue and spectrum of previously unknown information for the Vic and Sade fan. Mr. Hetherington has provided me with lots of information and has patiently answered at least a zillion questions and for this I am very grateful.

The Vic and Sadecast (a podcast about the surviving episodes) is in full tilt. Jimbo, Dave Duckert, PQ Ribber and Shambles Constant handle that chore. There are other guests along the way - yell at Jimbo if you would like to be a part of this project.

And to those many others who have contributed with interviews, or have written pieces, provided original art or have provided info -- thanks to all; without you, this would not be the wonderful site it is.
