The Crazy World of Vic and Sade: 32-08-02 Rush Has a Toothache

32-08-02 Rush Has a Toothache

STARRING: ART VAN HARVEY, BERNARDINE FLYNN AND BILL IDELSON

Rush isn't eating his breakfast. Vic: "Y'oughta eat, son. Make blood and muscle so's you'll be full of snap and ginger all day. If you don't eat any breakfast, your pals'll get ahead of you in whatever you're going to do today."
Vic and Sade think maybe he needs a checkup from Dr. Jeffers. But it unfolds that he needs to see Dr. Keevy, the dentist. Vic tells of George W. Hulsizer, the famous spit-ball pitcher who played for the Cardinals long ago. He had to have six teeth pulled and went to Dr. Keevy. Rush doubts that. Vic swears to it.
The pitcher was in the dentist's chair for all of four minutes – he raised cain because he thought Keevy hadn't done his job – but the job was done and George never realized it. Rush is impressed.
Sade offers to buy the tooth for $1. She suggests Vic go along to show Rush it's painless. Vic panics, as he has a tooth that needs pulling. Sade calls Doc Keevy. As soon as she hangs up, Vic and Rush reappear, claiming Keevy's out of town in Clinton.
Vic: "And it makes it kinda bad because Rush and me are in a sweat to get our teeth pulled out." - compiled by Barbara Schwarz, edited by Jimbo Mason

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.
