32-09-21 Restart Excercising (Underwear By Mail Order)

STARRING: ART VAN HARVEY, BERNARDINE FLYNN AND BILL IDELSON

Sade has trouble getting Rush out of bed. He asked to be wakened at 7 and now regrets it. He and Vic plan to start exercising together. Rush protests: "A fella really shouldn't get outta be too fast. It's bad for the liver and…"
Rush doesn't intend to wear a shirt: "It's better to exercise naked."
Rush bets he could sleep from Christmas Eve 'til after the Fourth of July. Sade says if he did that he'd miss Christmas presents and fireworks: "Better go to bed the day after Christmas and get up the day before the Fourth." Rush: "Sure. Then I'll get all my Christmas presents on Christmas, go to bed, and wake up and shoot off a lotta firecrackers."
Sade: "Better tell your friends to give you firecrackers for Christmas.
Rush goes off to wake Vic. He reminds Vic of their agreement to exercise. Vic cheerfully starts to get up but begins to drift back to sleep. Vic suggests Rush exercise, and he'll watch, offering helpful advice.
Rush threatens to sit on Vic's stomach, Then he threatens to involve Sade.
Sade wants to know: is Vic up and exercising? He shouts double-talk, wants to know if breakfast is ready.
Vic suggests The exercise program should be started tomorrow. He says he feels stronger already. Sade calls them to breakfast, hopes they're not too worn out to eat. Rush says they're fine and turns to find Vic's still not out of bed. - compiled by Barbara Schwarz, edited by Jimbo Mason

Unlike some of the other earlier episodes from 1932, I can actually see this one happening. Missing are the worries that have plagued the Gooks in earlier episodes.

This episode contains the very funny Rush-Sade exchange about buying underwear via mail order (the bathtub, water etc.).

On a You Tube interview, Bill I. tells that in this ep. the script was short and Rhymer went out and typed up the extra filler pages of the "underwear by bathtub" story! Rhymer was a real font of inventiveness of this world.

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.
