Lux presents Hollywood. Weber Brothers Company, the makers of Lux Toilet Soap, bring you the Lux Radio Theater, starring Kerry Grant and Shirley Temple in The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keely. Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we welcome back to the Lux Radio Theater a man whom I consider one of America's truly great screen stars, Kerry Grant. With Kerry is a young lady who long ago captured the heart of America and has held it ever since, Shirley Temple. Together they bring us RKO's sparkling romantic comedy, The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer. With Kerry as the gay man about town and Shirley as the adoring Bobby Soxer. The same delightful performances that made the picture a hit. You know the Bobby Soxer has introduced some fascinating additions to the American language and mode of dress. But I understand she's still old fashioned enough to want a lovely Lux complexion. So she takes a lesson from her mother and the screen stars and lets Lux Toilet Soap help out on the beauty front. Now I'd like to have you meet The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer, starring Kerry Grant as Richard Nugent and Shirley Temple as Susan, with Frances Robinson as Margaret. Years ago, a sympathetic neighbor described the Turner girls as those poor little lonely orphans. Since then, the neighbors changed her mind. True, the Turner girls are still orphans, but they don't need anybody's sympathy. There's Susan the Bobby Soxer, 17 years old editor of the high school paper and swamped with boyfriends. And then there's Margaret, Margaret the lady lawyer, who is now Judge Turner, presiding in dignity over the city's municipal court. Right now, the Turner girls are at breakfast. Very important that I know Margaret. Know what? That case in court. The man who ran away with a 16 year old girl. What kind of a sentence did you give him? Three years. Oh, fine. That cost me two dollars. I always bet that you won't sentence people. If you'd spend a little more time on geometry and less on... I don't consider geometry a part of life. Well, your teacher does.  Margaret, dear. How much this time? Only two dollars. But no more betting. No, Margaret. And thank you very much. I often wonder why you're so good to me. Well, you know I die for you. Only sometimes it's very hard living with you. Who comes up in court this morning? Oh, nothing very exciting. Some people mixed up in a nightclub brawl. When Tommy Chamberlain phoned me about it... Are you going to marry Tommy? After all, he's the assistant district attorney. And I think that the color of the world. I gotta go. Who's calling for you this morning? Sounds like Jerry. What you having eaten your breakfast? I'll take the two dollars out of your purse, Margaret. Bye. If you'll tell the court just what Richard Nugent did. Well, your honor, the police picked him up in the vampire nightclub. A riot call. Nugent was at the bottom of all the trouble. Which of you is Richard Nugent? Mr. Nugent isn't here, your honor. I am his attorney. Not here. He, uh, he's out on bail. Well, if Mr. Nugent doesn't show up within the next 60 seconds, I'll issue a benchmark for his arrest. Meanwhile, I'd like to hear from the witnesses. Your name, Miss. Miss Agnes Prescott. I'm an entertainer at the vampire club. I have known Mr. Nugent for some time. He's an artist, so he paints lovely pictures. He once painted me. He painted me, too. Well, last night, as Mr. Nugent, and I was having a few words at his table, we was accosted by this here... lady. A harsh word was exchanged, and Mr. Nugent came to my rescue. I knew him first. You're the one who was buttoned in. Ladies, please. Your honor. Yes, Mr. Chambers. This is the third occasion in which Richard Nugent has been involved in a public disturbance, and I would suggest that... Your honor, I see that my client has just arrived. Good morning, Walter. Good morning. Oh, good morning, Agnes. Hi. Good morning, Mr. Nugent. Your Richard Nugent?  I'm frankly and honestly delighted. Oh. Is it all right if we go ahead now? I'm terribly sorry, but I... Yes, Mr. Nugent, this court works on schedule. Nine o'clock means nine o'clock. Yes, sir.  You were at the Vampire Club last night. Yes, yes, I was. I'm doing a series of paintings on Americana, and I'm including a nightclub scene. Creating a nightclub scene would seem more appropriate. Well, how did the fight start? Well, Agnes had finished her spot. That's a theatrical term, your honor. It means her performance, her act. Thank you. Well, we were having a drink with Florence. That's Florence over there. Oh, we've met. Oh, well, she came over to the table. Yeah, and this cut-rate scenario apparently resented my appearance. Well, naturally, my escort was very much what I thought. I prefer to hear Mr. Nugent's version. Uh-huh, thank you. Well, Florence's escort, Joey appeared. He objected to Florence coming to my table. One thing led to another. Joey slapped Florence, and I slapped Joey. He was only defending American womanhood, your honor. Get that, James! Well... Anyway, Agnes scratched Florence, and Florence scratched Agnes, and, uh... Well, anyone who says he remembers a fight for punches lying, I don't remember. Your honor, the district attorney's office would like this man held over for trial. Oh, I see no reason for that, Mr. Chamberlain. Obviously, it was a fight in which everyone participated. Everyone is equally guilty or innocent.  Thank you, your honor. Oh, one moment. You just got here. Don't you like our court? Oh, I like it fine, honey. I'm due to give a lecture this morning. Really? What are you lecturing on? America, as an artist sees it. Just remember, Mr. Nugent, if you're brought before this court again, you won't be dealt with so leniently. Case dismissed. Uh, your honor... For heaven's sake, don't press your luck and telling her you're going to deliver a lecture. But I am. Where?   I wish we didn't have to sit here, Jerry.  Me, too. But what about Saturday night? You promise, Susan? Promises are the hollow shells of Undundee. Oh, for guy's sakes.  But you're callous. The only reason I'm not good enough for you is because you're looking for a knight in shining armor. That's why. I'm competing with something medieval. What a horse.  And please be quiet. Mr. Mittwick's coming out on the stage. A student? Yeah. Our school is honored in having as guest lecturer a famous artist who will speak to us about the classical traditions of painting. I know you will express your enthusiasm for his appearance here today. And so, without further ado, Mr. Richard Nugent. This way, Mr. Nugent. He's an older man. You know, a lot of people think of art as something pretty stuffy. I beg your pardon.  True art has something to say to everyone that unites the masses in every age, in every country. And the essence of art is simplicity. Now, for instance, if I wanted to capture the feeling of America today, I'd try to use it. Just remember that art is a part of freedom, of tolerance, of opportunity. And if I were going to do a portrait of one of you, I'd try to convey all that in it. Thank you.  Mr. Nugent. Mr. Nugent. My name is Susan Turner. I'm a student here. No. Yes. I... I loved your speech. Oh, thank you. Well, nice to have met you, Mr. Turner. But I have to interview you. You what? For the high school paper. I'm editor-in-chief.  Not very. Look, could we do this some other time? I have a date. A date? Oh, then you're not married. No. Oh, I knew you weren't. You just couldn't be. Oh, I've had some offers. In here, Mr. Nugent. Yeah, well, don't you see... We can talk in here. Yes, but I... Have you ever been married? No, no. Well, have you ever been in love? Yes, I have. Tell me, what kind of paper does this school run? Oh, all the students read it. I'll bet they do. You probably have no idea what an unusual person you are. Now, I'm not unusual at all, I suppose, but I'm really much older than I look. And I know what the artistic soul is like, and how keenly I can suffer. Oh, really? Did you have many ordeals before becoming a success? No, no, as a matter of fact... I watched you to think of me, not as a newspaper woman, but as a friend. Oh, well, in that case, yes, I did suffer. When I was 10, my mother and father had a double-suicide pact. They made it. I was sent to an orphanage. Some days they didn't beat me. Then one night I escaped. I used to steal. What did you steal? Crusts of bread and things. One day I stole a valise. There were paints and paintbrushes inside, so I began to paint. Yes? But they got me. I was sent to a reform school, but I escaped again. Go on. I fled to New York. A wealthy society maid turned so. My work fellow loved me and sent me to art school. The rest is history. Oh, wonderful. Terribly wonderful. Yes, well, now if you'll excuse me, I must rest. Goodbye, Miss Winchall. Turner, Susan Turner. Oh, remember what you told us in assembly? About painting one of us? Young America and everything? Yes. Well, do you think I'd make a good model, Mr. Neuchat? Oh, you're not thinking of quitting the newspaper game? Well, my family wants me to go into law. But my attitude is that one female judge in the family is enough. Uh, did you say your name's Turner? That's right. My sister's Judge Margaret Turner. Uh-huh. Well, nice to have met the family. Goodbye. But what about my posing? Oh, sure, sure. You'd make a good model sometime. Bye now. Like a knight. Like a knight striding away in shining armor. What did this knight in shining armor have to say? Oh, I don't know. But he's wonderful, Margaret. He's had to lie and cheat and steal to get somewhere in life. Well, that makes everything just dandy. What's the name of this, sir Galahad? Richard. Richard Neuchat. Richard Neuchat? Well, then you've heard of him. Heard of him? Well, just this morning. Margaret, have you ever thought of me as a model? Dickie wants me to pose for her. Well, isn't that not... Dickie?  He's a very fine man. You don't know him at all. I know enough to advise you to forget all about him. Right now. Well, I don't need your advice.  Only until you're 18. Susan, where are you going? Upstairs. Well, you're going out for dinner, aren't you? Well, Mr. Chamberlain hasn't called for me yet. And there's no reason for you to... He's here now, Margaret. Have a good time. Susan, wait.  Oh, I'm fine. Just fine. Good. Oh, I'll be home early, dear. Tommy, we'll never find Susan carrying on like this. Now, Margaret, I'll handle everything. Just when did the cook discover that she wasn't in the house? About an hour after we left. She went to call her for dinner and she wasn't in her room. Did you check the hospital? Yeah, and the airport, railroad station and bus stop. Oh, Tommy, if anything's happened to Susan, I'll never forgive myself. I never should have quarreled with her. Quarrel with her? I told her she couldn't pose for Richard Nugent. Nugent? And she said she didn't need my advice. Nugent for heaven's sakes, Margaret. Why didn't you mention Nugent before? Give me that phone. Oh, no. What do you can't mean that she... Oh, no. Nugent, Mr. Walters. And believe me, if a client ever needed a lawyer... All right, Dick. Tell me exactly what happened. Where were you last night when they finally let me use the telephone? Where were you? I had not anticipated you're winding up in jail so soon after the last time. I have a life of my own, you know. Well, let's have the facts. Good. Well, I got home to my apartment last night. That much I know. And this girl was there. At least I think she was there. Well, I guess she was. I don't know. Judge Turner's sister. That's the one, the young one. How young? Too young. How did she get in your apartment? He let her in. The elevator boy. She told him she was posing for me. Nugent, why don't you tell me the truth? I am telling you the truth. Nobody be quiet for a moment. That's what happened last night. Nobody would listen to me. Go on. All right. Thank you. I got home to my apartment. I took off my dinner coat. Put on a robe. Wanted to be comfortable. Came inside. Turned on the radio. Opened a book. Sat down to read. The book went up. Popped this little girl. She'd been asleep on the sofa. Judge Turner's sister. Go on. Before I can open my mouth, there's a banging on the door. Everybody yelling. Somebody busts in. Everybody starts talking at once. Then about 50 please. Did the girl explain why she was there? Yes. Yes. Well, she tried to explain, but there wasn't really a letter to explain. She kept trying to say she'd come up there to be a model or something. Did you? Or did you not invite Judge Turner's sister to be a model? No. Well, in a roundabout way, maybe I did. She kept saying I told her I was going to paint her as young America. Did you tell her that? Oh, I told that to 500 little girls. Let's not go into that. Oh, no, no. You're also charged with hitting the assistant district attorney, Mr. Chamberlain. Yeah, I hit him. That's right. But at the time I hit him, I did not know he was the assistant district attorney. If I had known he was the assistant district attorney, I would have hit him. He said some very bad things. Wouldn't give me a chance to explain. Kept pulling my arm and that sister of hers. She was there, too, Judge Turner. He's a mountain of ice, a gallon of poison, jumping at conclusions. Now, control yourself, Nugent. You've got to remember coherently exactly what happened. Oh, sure, sure.  Well, I'd better get the work. Coherently. Exactly. Coherently, exactly. You got another visitor, Mr. Nugent. This here is Dr. Beamish. I'm the court psychiatrist, Mr. Nugent. Come back in an hour. I'll be crazy by then. Well, I'm really here to help you. Now, the only thing you're suffering from is a severe case of being an innocent bystander. Tell me, what can they do to me if I kill a judge? I understand how you feel. I'm aware that Judge Turner appears to be a very dominant woman. She happens to be my niece. Your niece? Fine, fine. Judge Turner is ready for you, Dr. Beamish. Oh, thank you, Melvin. Well, now you just leave things in my hands, Mr. Nugent. I have a plan. I dare say you'll be surprised at the results. Dare say. Yes, sir. You just wait and see. You just wait and see. Exactly, sir. Let's talk with him, Margaret. He seems like quite a nice fellow. Are you sure you were talking to the right man, Uncle Matt? Well, certainly about six feet broad. Shoulders, blue eyes. This Nugent has brown eyes. Oh. Well, it isn't my case. It's Judge Treadwell's. Well, I hope Treadwell doesn't go too far. Susan's in love with Nugent, or thinks she is. And have they sent him to prison on her account? Which is where he belongs. It will martyr him in Susan's eyes, and I guarantee the results will be tragic. Oh, that's absurd. You just don't understand, Susan. She's very level-headed. She's far above that sort of silliness. I'm sorry to bother you, Judge Turner, but this lady claims to be Nugent's mother. Susan! Nurse, did you dig up that dress? And that black veil. Widow's weeds. I just wanted to talk to him. About the steel business, Your Honor. She baked him a sponge cake. This was in it. A hacksaw.  I'm in love with him. Don't you realize that? If I lose him, life has no meaning. I love him. Well, Your Honor. You win, Uncle Matt. Then I suggest you arrange an informal hearing right away. Well, Judge Treadwell has reviewed the facts, Mr. Nugent. And I have good news. You're going to hang me? I'm afraid I'm the one who ought to be hanged. Oh, well, won't I sit down? Please do. I believe you've met my uncle, Dr. Beamish. Oh, that's neat. This is Judge Treadwell. How do you do? And you already know Assistant District Attorney Chamberlain. Nice to see you again, Nugent. Sorry about the misunderstanding. Yeah, forget it. Just a little temper. That's very generous of you. I'm afraid I lost my temper too last night. I hope you'll pardon me. Oh, yeah. Oh, pardon me. Well, I guess I'm free to go then, huh? Thank you. Just a moment. I'm a little worried about Seuss. I was a little worried about her myself. It seems she's become quite an amateur of you, Mr. Nugent. And we were wondering if you'd mind helping us by taking her out. I'm glad to. Taking her out? Where? Doing what?  Oh, he does, does he? Well, then let Dr. Beamish take her out. Let her get over him. I'm not a judge, but I bet there's no law that says I have to go out with children. No, no. We were just hoping you'd want to cooperate. Why should I? Because your attitude will have a decided bearing on the disposition of the other charges against you if the District Attorney wishes to press them. Press what? All I did was punch him in the nose. Oh, all right, all right. Just what do I have to do? See, Susan, as often as we deem proper, Mr. Nugent.  What if it doesn't wear off? Oh, it will. Oh. Mr. Nugent, I'm doing this against my better judgment. I would just as soon my sister were going out with an actor. Uh-uh. Judge Turner simply means that I've recommended you as a vital therapeutic measure. Oh, that's great. Recommended for children. Well, Mr. Nugent, yes or no? No, I still want to know what I've got to do. You'll start tonight. You'll take Susan to the high school basketball game. Me? Take Susan to a high school basket?  Well, Mr. Nugent? Oh, it's a date. We'll bring you back to of the Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer. Our guest tonight is Miss Susie Crandall, popular contract player at RKO. I understand your studio regard you as a real trooper, Susie, an actress who puts her best into every role. I consider that a real compliment, Mr. Keely. It's when you're on location that you learn what trooping means. I'm thinking especially the stars of RKO's new picture, The Big Steel. Oh, yes, Robert Mitchum and Jane Greer. The picture was filmed in Mexico, wasn't it? Yes, in the rugged mountain country between Vera Cruz and Mexico City. The story is full of thrilling action. It's all about a border gang that theft of a U.S. Army payroll. That's primitive country down there. All these supplies would have to be brought in. Oh, yes, but the cast got along fine with the natives. They gave them American cigarettes and clothing. Some of the local bells worked in The Big Steel, you know. And Jane Greer made a big hit with them all right. Can you guess how, Mr. Kennedy? Well, of course. Jane must have brought along a supply of a certain beauty soap. Right, Mr. Kennedy.  Why, naturally, Susie. Luxe toilet soap is a winner wherever it's used. Besides, when they saw Jane's lovely luxe complexion, they had proof of what daily luxe soap care can do. Yes. And a more beautiful complexion than Jane Greer's I can't imagine. Well, here in Hollywood, we know luxe soap is a complexion care that works. Thank you, Mrs. Susie Crandall. Regular care with this fragrant white soap really does make skin softer, smoother. Skin specialists have proved it. In recent tests, three out of four complexions became lovelier in a short time. Why not try this fine product of Lever Brothers Company for your precious complexion? Remember, luxe toilet soap is the chosen beauty care of nine out of ten famous screen stars. Now, our producer, Mr. William Keely. Act two of The Bachelor and The Bobby Soxler, starring Carey Grant as Richard Nugent and Shirley Temple as Susan. Richard Nugent is innocent as the driven snow, but the fact that he's not in jail is due only to his anguished assent to become Susan's beau until she worries of him. Susan, of course, knows nothing of this arrangement. Susan's in love. Now more than ever, as she and Mr. Nugent watch the high school basketball game. Now, good evening, Susan. Good evening. That's Mr. Mitwick, Dickie, the principal. Geometry getting straightened out, Susan. Oh, yes, Mr. Mitwick. And who's this young man? Oh, I'm just... Ah, you must be a new boy. Well, we'll probably... probably be running into each other. I gave a lecture here on art. Oh, yes, yes, of course. Miss Beagle's pupil. Excellent. Isn't that amazing? You know, we had a much better team last season. Our new center needs more experience. Oh, at least. His name's Jerry. He used to be a sort of... sort of a boyfriend of mine. What? You mean that fine-looking young man who smiled at you before, number seven? Oh, but he's just a child. You needn't be so jealous, Richard. Looks like they're taking him out of the game. Oh, but he's a fine figure of a man, Susan. I'd certainly like to meet that number seven. That can be arranged. Well, that's a great game you're playing, Mr.... Jerry White, Mr. Richard Nugent. How do you do? Usually, my game is much better, Mr. Nugent. But lately, I got personal troubles.  Well, look, Mr. White, how about joining us for a drink? I mean for a soda after the game. Do you really mean that? Certainly. We are safe. Thanks, Mr. Nugent. See you, Susie. I thought you were splendid tonight, Jerry. Splendid. No, he wasn't. Yes, he was. No, I wasn't. Say, Jerry, aren't you supposed to be in training? Just look at that. A double sweetheart flip. Sometimes a man just doesn't care. Well, I may as well level with you, Mr. Nugent. When I saw you tonight, my first instinct was to take a poke at you. Jerry! Then I said to myself, let's be civilized. This is life, and if Susan feels that way, it's all right with me. That's big of you, Jerry. And very generous. Dickie and I will always treasure your friendship.  And if we can ever do anything for you, Jerry, all you have to do is ask. Oh, sure. Get in touch. Call me up. I guess it's goodbye, Jerry. I guess it is. Yeah, I guess it is. So long, old man. Must you rush right on home, Richard? I mean, can't we just... Well, as a matter of fact, Susan, I want to talk to you. What about, dear? Susan, it isn't becoming for you to call me dear. I don't think it's right. But why, darling? Now, stop that and listen to me. Now, the basketball game was fun tonight, but it can't go on. Yes, I know. The season's over next week. Oh, no, no, no.  Everybody's getting the crazy idea that you're in love with me. I am. Susan, look at me. Look. I wouldn't say this to many people, but I'm old enough to be your father. You're so right, dear. Well, you've got to realize that this isn't proper for either of us. You're so right, dear. Well, it's not only going to... Whip! For itself. Oh, thanks, thanks. Well, it's not only going to embarrass me, but it's going to embarrass you, too. Susan, you're not paying any attention to me. You're so right, dear. Well, good evening, Mr. Nugent. Oh, well, good evening. Well, that's in your dress. Like it? Oh, it's beautiful, Margaret. Too bad you had to go to that dreary party tonight with Mr. Chamberlain. Oh, it was a very nice party. Did you enjoy yourself? Oh, we had a simply sensational time. Well, you'd better turn in now. School tomorrow, you know. Yes, I know. Good night, Dickie. I'll just blow you a kiss. Oh. Oh, thanks, thanks. Happy dream. She's still in the days, isn't she? I don't know why. You know, that is a beautiful dress, and you look wonderful in it. Thank you. You said that gracefully. Perhaps as a result of practice. You said that ungraciously. Perhaps as a result of practice. I had that coming. You got a moment? Yes. You know, Judge Turner, when I was a kid I had a habit of reading a lot of books my mother didn't want me to read. One day I found a book that had a very racy title. I kept on reading it for quite a long time. It was awfully dull. And then suddenly I discovered that my mother had stuck a philosophy book underneath that paper cover with the racy title. Well, that's one way of learning philosophy. Yeah, you know what else I learned? Never judge a book by its cover. All is not gold or glitter. Things and people may not be what they appear to be. Like you. I sat in judgment on a series of facts, Mr. Nugent. Not on your character or biography. Ah, well. It's still a beautiful dress, and you do look wonderful in it. Well, we'll see you on Saturday, Mr. Nugent. You're going to take Susan to the picnic. Picnic? The Parent Teacher's Association Annual Picnic. Picnic? Ah, good night, your honor. Well, hello, Mr. Nugent. Calling to take Susan to the picnic, huh? Well, you know how it is, old man. But what are you doing sitting here in your car? I'm not welcome in the house. Well, Susan probably doesn't even know you're out here. She put me here, Mr. Nugent. Oh, well. It's not her fault, I guess. It's her grand-uncle, Judge Thaddeus.  What, another uncle and a judge? He's going with you to the picnic. I guess something fierce. I walked in, all I said was, mellow greetings, yuky dooky. Well, you almost blew a fuse. Oh, what's wrong with that? It sounds okay to me. Hey, uh, Jerry. How'd you like to use my car? You kidding? Well, no. You drive my car to the picnic, and let me borrow yours. Does this thing run? I'm sure it runs. Oh, where's the key? Who needs a key? Oh, well. Well, here's my key, Jerry. Jiminy. I don't look right, do I, Jerry? You'll be taking a girl like Susan to a picnic. Well, you do look kind of formal, Mr. Nugent. Yeah. Well, look, perhaps if I roll up the cups, I'ma charge it, huh? Yeah, sure.  Yeah, and this hat. Oh, I'd wear a hat, Mr. Nugent. Only mash it up. Give it the zoop root. All right. How's this? Sharp as a tack. Boy, what a difference. Well, thanks, Jerry. See you at the picnic. Answer the door, Margaret. Who is it? Just Mr. Nugent, Uncle Thaddeus. I'll get it. Who are the devils, Mr. Nugent? Oh, he's older. He's come to take Susan to the picnic. What sort of talk is that? I don't know. Hey, you remind me of a man. What man?  What are you trying to do? I don't dig your chick. What are you talking about? What are you whispering about? Oh, I'm sorry, Uncle Thaddeus. How are you, Richard? Hi, Uncle Matt. You going to the picnic, too? May I present my great-uncle Judge Turner? Oh, well, how do you do, Judge? How do you do? He's sharp. Hey, Uncle Thaddeus, you remind me of a man. What man? The power. The power of who-do. Who-do? Do what? He reminds me of a man. Judge Turner is an associate justice of the state supreme court. Well, good for you, junior. That's better than working for a living, huh? Isn't Tommy Chamberlain calling for you? No, he's meeting us at the picnic, Uncle Matt. Then watch keeping us. Well, everybody ready? My hot rod's right at the curb. Come on, Uncle Thaddeus. Come on. You remind me of a man. Who-do.  I'm supposed to say that. There's a car out there. Well, it just looks like Jerry's car. You mean to say that we're going in that one? Why not? It's a voodate. Voodate? The eight more payments than is mine. What's the matter now? Beneath your dignity as assistant district attorney? Oh, just too old, Chamberlain. Too old? The kind of spirit we want to see. How about you, Mr. Nugent? Right after lunch. Me? Don't be silly. Oh, too old, huh? To run a sack race? Well, there's nothing to it. You go right in there, Dickie, and show them. All right, Susan. I will. Just hold my coat and hat. Blowing like a porpoise. You're some athlete, Mr. Nugent. I... It's not Dickie's fault. He was just... Tommy Chamberlain happens to be the better man, that's all. Thank you, Margaret. Just because Mr. Chamberlain won the sack race and the potato and spoon race and the three-legged race doesn't prove a thing. Ladies and gentlemen, the main event of the afternoon, the spectacular obstacle race, the supreme test of skills, stamina... Come on, Dickie.  I can't pin your number on if you're lying down. Don't you think you've had enough for one day, Mr. Nugent? We've just begun to fight. Yeah, yeah. We've just begun to fight.  I don't want to be handicapped with any excess weight. Everybody get ready. I just know you can win this time, Dickie. Sure. Sure. You've got to win me that cup. Don't worry, Susan. I'll be glad to give you the cup. I'm beginning to worry about him. Him? Nugent? I just hope he wins. For Susan's sake. Oh. Well, let's walk down to the finish line. Susan, where are you going? I'll be right back. I just want to talk to Jerry. You certainly surprised us, Mr. Nugent. What happened to Chamberlain? I don't know. Strange he should drop out of the race so suddenly. Where's Susan? Oh, well, let's get to the ground. Susan, I did what you asked me to do. Well, thanks a lot, Jerry, for letting Dickie win. It wasn't easy, Susan. A few of us tackled Mr. Chamberlain in the creek and held him underwater. Well, I must say all the boys cooperated just fine. You owe him 75 cents a piece. It was for anyone but you that had charged a dollar. I'll pay you on Saturday. Well, I don't want any money. Some things just can't be bought. You know, Jerry, at times you're really very nice. To present this beautiful cup to that great athlete and winner of the feature event, Mr. Richard Nugent. I don't quite know what happened to me, but I guess I owe it all to, uh, clean living, the proper outlook, and the, uh, help of my friend. No. It's not possible. I'm seeing it. Margaret, what in the world? He's wearing armor. Mr. Nugent, he's... he's like a knight in shining armor. Why Margaret Turner? Quite a picnic. Quite a picnic. Where's Susan? Upstairs. I'm taking a rest for a while if she's going to the dance tonight. Dance? With Mr. Nugent? Well, yes. Uh, speaking of Mr. Nugent, that was... that was a very odd occurrence, Uncle Matt. I mean, there in the grandstand. Seeing Richard Nugent in a suit of shining armor? I feel absolutely ridiculous. Optical illusions have been known. Obviously, it was a combination of the heat, to hurried lunch, and all the excitement. Well, of course. It's a known fact that...  Oh, same things happen to me a hundred times. Only I always see Betty Grable. Oh. Well, it... it's occurred to me that I... Well, Mr. Nugent has been very sweet about Susan, and I don't think we ought to embarrass him any longer. But what if Susan... Oh, I'm sure she'll get over it. I'd like to talk it over with him, as a matter of fact. Well, I think that's... But not here. Oh, naturally, not here. And certainly not in his apartment. Don't know. Of course not. Some public place. Sophisticated and... Well, we could talk things over. Well, that's very sensible, and I... Oh, thank you, Uncle Matt. You're talking to me as clear things up considerably. Not at all. Not at all. No. Where's the telephone? You've had it in your hand ever since you started... Oh. Yeah. So I have. Hello. Who? Oh, yes, Your Honor. Anything wrong with Susan? Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. What? You? Well, I'd be delighted. Now, where we meet? Oh, not at the house, huh? Well, how about here? Oh, no, no, no. Naturally... Well, just name the place. We can celebrate my victory this afternoon. No, I'm not too tired to dance. Do you dance? I mean... Okay, well, how about the TikTok Club? Fine. Nine o'clock. Sure. Okay. We pause now for station identification. This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System. In a few moments, we'll return with a third act of The Bachelor and The Bobby Soxer. And now, here's our Hollywood Reporter, Libby Collins. I hear you have some special news tonight, Libby. It's about Metro Golden Mayor's new technical economy, Mr. Keely. Neptune's daughter. A prize package of laughter, music, and romance. And a cast that does full justice to its clever comedy and catchy tunes. That lovable clown, Red Skelton, is up to his usual tricks, and he's a panic. Yes, and Esther Williams is gorgeous. She swims, she romances, and my, my Libby, how she can wear those stunning bathing suits. And don't forget that lovely luxe complexion of hers, Mr. Keely. No wonder making love to Esther comes naturally to handsome Ricottam and Talbot. The irrepressible Betty Garrett makes a wonderful partner for Red. All in all, it's a picture worthy of Metro Golden Mayor's 25th anniversary.

The curtain rises on the third act of the Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer, starring Cary Grant as Richard Nugent and Shirley Temple as Susan. Well, it's a few hours later, and Judge Margaret Turner, looking entrancingly, unlike a head of a municipal court, is dancing with Richard Nugent in the TikTok nightclub. Mr. Nugent is much impressed. You know, my father was a bachelor. Really? Wait till I finish. He was a bachelor until way into his 30s. He always said he'd know who he was going to marry the moment he saw him. Then he met my mother, he put his arms around her, and that was it. Just the way she felt in his arms did the trick. That's a very romantic story. Well, they were happy all their lives. Apparently, it had nothing in common. She was a piano teacher and he was a flag decorator. Now, my father courted mother all through high school, college, and law school. 14 years after they met, they decided it was time to get married. They had a lot in common. They were both attorneys. You feel nice in my arms. I imagine that if mother and father hadn't had so much in common, they needn't have waited 14 years. It could have happened suddenly while they might even... Oh, hello, Agnes. You remember Agnes? I do. Well, congratulations. I'm sure the vampire club, the night that Agnes and Florence... Yeah, yeah, and it all winds up when you clip on me on the chin. Hey, you're a lady friend. Oh, yes, well, this is... This is Judge Turner. Back to the table. Oh, I'm sure you didn't know she was going to be here. Uh-huh, are you sure you're sure that I didn't know? Oh, I've given up jumping to conclusions, Mr. Nugent. Goss, catch you later, maybe. She's a cute kid. I did a magazine cover of her once. Very cute. Well, I suppose we try the champagne. I hope it's... Susan! I do not intend to create a scene. What are you doing here? You ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Another chair, Alex. Yes, Mr. Nugent. I'm not too young to be deceived by such treachery. Sit down, Susan. What do you have to drink? Lemonade, but I don't intend to stay. Oh, and some chocolate ice cream. You told me that Dickie was sick, that he was so exhausted from winning the obstacle race that he just... She did. Anyway, after you left, I went to Dickie's apartment. The elevator boy told me where he went. I demand an explanation from both of you. Oh, Dickie! Joey wants to buy you and the budget judge a birthday drink on him. Well, that's a moment, Agnes. It'll only take a minute, just time enough to drink it down. Hey, you! A couple of more chairs! Oh, forgive me. This is Miss Susan Turner. Huh? Mr. Her older sister. I mean, a Margaret's sister.  Sisters sometimes look alike, too.   And I don't intend to take it off. I didn't ask you should take it off. Hello, Jerry. Glad to see you. I doubt if anyone's glad to see me. You were not invited here, Mr. White. Jerry, I'd like you to meet Agnes and Joey. He's cute. Hi. I suppose you're wondering how I got here. Well, if Susan isn't, I am. It's getting to be quite a party. You're jumping again. Susan, I went to see you because I just got word I'm being drafted. I went to the house when you were gone. I went to Mr. Nugent's apartment. They told me that... We know the rest of it, Jerry. Well, you don't have to make such a big thing about it. After all, the war is over. I know it's over.  Yeah, well, I know just how you feel, Jerry. Going away, perhaps not seeing your loved ones for a couple of years.  And a good friend. Perhaps Mr. Nugent doesn't know just how good. Oh, you don't have to tell me anything about Jerry. Maybe I could tell you a few things, like how he made sure this afternoon that you won that race. Plus, he what? Hey, the kids are jockey, Agnes. Where'd the horse go? Hey, Susan, what are you talking about? You shouldn't have said that, Susan. Well, a woman scorned is a fury. Hey, hey, you drinking, Bob? I'll have an eggnog. With two eggs. Now, wait a minute. About this afternoon, just... Hey, wait, bring the boy out. What did you have to do with my winning that race? Well, gee, Mr. Nugent. He only did it because he knew how much I loved you. Susan, I forbid this kind of talk. Good evening, Margaret. Well, life's very complicated. Hello, Tommy. Oh, sit down, Mr. Chamberlain. Do sit down. Well, I suppose you're wondering how I got here, Margaret. I went to your house. Let me tell you. You went to Margaret's, found that she'd gone. You were suspicious that she'd gone out with me, so you went up to my apartment, the elevator... Hey, who is this guy? No, I don't like him. My name is Chamberlain. Hello. You know what you are.  Blue beard, dear. Will a rose by any color still... Oh, now everybody's too excited. No, no one's excited. Margaret, I want you to know that only this afternoon, this man told me he is madly in love with Susan. Did you, Charlie? Well, I did, yes, but I was only kidding. I don't like your kidding, Susan, for any reason. You drink your eggnog. Jackie, you've got to tell me once and for all. Do you love me? I think you're a very sweet child, but I can't honestly say that I love you. You deceived her, and after she spent $4.50 to make sure you won that race. Well, that's too bad. You can have the cup back. You mean that victory of Nugent was a frame up? I'm going to get out of here. So am I. I've had enough of this and enough of you, Mr. Nugent. Everywhere you go, you attract trouble. If I were so disposed, I could make a lot of trouble for you, my friend. And I'm getting so disposed. You may be a regular guy, Mr. Nugent, but I don't know. I came to this table simply to buy you a birthday drink, and you've ruined... Just say it. I just want to say I'm awfully sorry, Mr. Nugent. Would there be anything else? For instance... Margaret, that I'm leaving home my own sister, stealing the man I love. Susan, you're not being fair. The other woman... Susan. It's not like that at all. I'm old enough to fight for my happiness. I saw him first. This is all your fault, Uncle Matt. You deliberately told Susan to come to that nightclub. I certainly did not. It was all my own idea. That's beside the point. Now you're both hysterical. If I want to be hysterical, I can. Susan, I would like to talk to you. I have nothing to say. I will not issue a statement of any kind at this time. Susan, I am still strong enough to take you over my knee and give you the lamb basting. I sincerely believe you deserve. You wouldn't dare. Just march to your room. Margaret, I've just had a long talk with Uncle Matt. Oh, and I see things much more clearly. After all, Richard is too old for me. Jeepers, when I'm 42, he'll be 60. I see. Well, anyway, Jerry's going to look awfully handsome in his uniform, don't you think? So I've decided to renounce Richard for Jerry. Oh, that's very sensible of you, dear. And now that you have a clear field, I think you ought to patch things up. I've acted very childishly, and I'm sorry. Susan, if I had a million more sisters, I'd want them all exactly like you.  Good night, Margaret. Good night, Susan. You know, in many ways, I think this has made a bigger woman of me. So Susan, apologize, eh? Well, Mother, suppose we have a little talk about emotions. Uncle Matt, I'm not interested in any more of your psychological mumbo jumbo about emotions. I deal in facts, and the conclusions I draw from the facts are depressing. Well, depressing or not, you're in love with Richard Nugent. Well, I'll discuss that with you in the morning. Good night, Uncle Matt. Good morning, Mr. Nugent. Dr. Beamish, how did you get in here? The door was closed, so I opened it and came in. Well, you can open it again and go right out. You and Margaret are having trouble. None of your business. Oh, you're packing, eh? And airplane tickets. Where are you going? Africa. That's pretty far away, isn't it? Now, let's look at the facts. First of all, you're in love with Margaret. Facts. I'm an artist. I deal in emotions. And my emotions tell me to go to Africa. What do your emotions tell you? Well, I've got a plan. Well, I've had enough of your plans and your whole family. I was a carefree fellow before I met up with you. I've been in nothing but trouble ever since. I'm going to be a carefree fellow again.  Very well. Oh, if you should run across a man named Smedley while you're in Africa, give him my regards, will you? He's a cousin of ours. Another judge? Another judge, no doubt. Yes, as a matter of fact, he is. Good day, Mr. Nugent. Beautiful morning, Margaret. Fine flying weather. I can't tell you how delighted I am. You're going away for a while. Bish's thing in the world for you. Turn around, Uncle Matt. I've changed my mind. I want to go home. Oh, but that's silly. It's silly that I'm running away. All because of Richard Nugent. Now, look, for the time being, just do what your Uncle Matt tells you. Why? You haven't been doing so good lately. I merely suggested that a little plane trip... Oh, all right. Drive on to the air. Oh, yes, yes. This baggage belongs to Miss Turner. She's at the reservation window picking up a ticket. Miss Turner, yes. Dr. Beamish! Where is she? Where's Margaret? Oh, hello, Chamberlain. I... I'm looking for her myself. She's leaving? Taking a plane? Yes, I'm afraid she is. Oh, this is all Nugent's fault. If I see him again, he'll get ten years. I've got a bench warrant out for his arrest. Now, if you'll take my advice... I don't want your advice. Now, where's Margaret? Well, she should be here. Why don't you watch that side entrance over there and I'll keep my eyes open here. Oh, very well. Now, just let me know the instance you're on. Oh, uh, Officer. Officer, could I talk to you a moment? Yes, sir. I'm Dr. Beamish, city psychiatrist. Oh, sure. Any trouble, Doc? That fellow pacing up and down at the side entrance there. Him? What's his trouble, Doc? He thinks he's the assistant district attorney. He likes to go around arresting people. Oh, one of those guys, eh? Well, I'll try to handle him, but I wanted you to know just in case. Don't worry, Doc. I'll be around. Dr. Beamish! Dr. Beamish! Yes, I'm coming. I'm coming. He's here. Newton's here. I just saw him. He's out there by the plains. Well, come on. Let's get him. I think you're making a big mistake. Oh, no, I'm not. Trying to leave town. I'll show him. Officer, I want you to arrest someone. Oh, you don't want to go around arresting nice people. Fine. Do you know who you're talking to? I'm the assistant district attorney. Sure, you are. Sure. Dr. Beamish, tell him who I am. Oh, yes, Officer. He's the assistant district attorney. Well, ain't that nice.  Well, I'll do it myself. Beamish, get his number. Yes, I'll get a pencil. I'll be right back. Let's go, bud. Yeah, well, where are you taking me? Let her go with me. Dr. Beamish! Passengers for flight 7 are boarding at gate 2. Passengers for flight 7 are boarding at gate 2. Name, please. Arthur Aimee. Oh, step right aboard, Mr. Aimee. Name, please. Nugent. Richard Nugent. Something wrong, Mr. Nugent? Well, there's someone in the plane. There's several people in the plane. That's not what I mean. What I mean is... Just step aboard, Mr. Nugent. Name, please. Hello? Hello. Well, um... Well, uh... You remind me of a man. A what man? The man with the power. The what power? The power of who do. Who do? You do. Do what? Remind me of a man. What man? The man with the power. The what power? The power. Give up. Give up? Shall I fasten your safety belt or will you feel safer hanging on to me? I'll be back in a few moments. And now we want to talk to lovely Esther Williams, who's been listening to the Lux Radio Theater tonight at her home. Hello there, Esther. Hello, Bill.  It was really delightful. So glad you like it, Esther. You know, I was interested too in what you said about our new Metro Golden Mayor picture, Neptune's daughter, and the sterling silver pin Lux soap is offering. You know, I like that mermaid design so much that I have a bronze plaque in the very same design. I'm going to set it in the front door of our new home. It is a charming pin, Esther. I noticed you were wearing a pair of them the other day on your suit lapel. They certainly look smart. Well, thank you, Bill. I love them and I wear them all the time. And now perhaps Mr. Kennedy can tell your listeners, again, how to get this silver anniversary pin. I'll be glad to, Ms. Williams. Just send in two wrappers from Lux Toilet soap, regular or bath size, and 35 cents in coin for each sterling silver Neptune's daughter pin to Lux Toilet soap, Post Office Box 16, New York 8, New York. That's Lux Toilet soap, Post Office Box 16, New York 8, New York. This silver anniversary offer is good only in continental United States, Alaska and Hawaii, and subject to applicable state or local regulations. It expires September 1st, 1949. You're sure to want more than one of these handsome silver pins, so send for yours soon. Now, here's Mr. Keely with our stars. Tonight's play was enjoyed, I know, by all bachelor's, all Bobby Sox's, and all the rest of us too. So here's all our thanks to Cary Grant and Shirley Temple. Cary, when we first tried to reach you about tonight's show, you were in the middle of the Atlantic on a freighter. We're certainly glad you made it. Thank you, Bill, so am I. I had a wonderful rest. I suppose after a strenuous picture, you need a rest when you're over 21. Shirley, remember, you can vote now. I suppose you're pretty bored, Shirley, with people who say, my, how you've grown. Well, after all, I'm a married woman with a little daughter. When other girls get married, two days later everybody's forgotten it, except the groom. But when Shirley Temple gets married, the whole world feels 20 years older. I think every girl should be married. Ah, every girl should be married. I'm glad you brought that up. Yes, you see, Shirley, two weeks from tonight, Cary will be back with us again, starting with Betsy Drake and their recent hit, Every Girl Should Be Married. That's wonderful. I love the picture. And I have a suggestion for every girl who thinks she should be married. Every girl should have a luxe complexion. Yes, I recommend a luxe complexion exactly like yours. Well, thank you, Mr. Keely. I've always used luxe felt. And don't forget you promised me one of those Neptune's Daughters Scatterpins. In fact, I'd like to have two of them around my new suit. Well, it'll be a pleasure, Shirley. The Neptune's Daughter Finn is sterling silver and something every woman will want. Well, what's next week's play, Bill? Well, it's a drama about Hollywood, Cary. The famous hit of stage and screen, Merton of the Movies. Starring in it, we'll have the one and only, Mickey Rooney. And with Mickey, lovely Arlene Dahl. There'll be laughs, drama, and romance here next Monday with Merton of the Movies. We'll all be listening. Good night. Good night. And we'll see you in two weeks, Cary. Leave our brothers company and the makers of Luxe Point of Hope. Join me in inviting you to be with us again next Monday evening when the Luxe Radio Theater presents Mickey Rooney and Arlene Dahl in Merton of the Movies. This is William Keely saying good night to you from Hollywood. Cary Grant will soon be seen starring in the 20th Century Fox production I Married a War Bride. Shirley Temple appeared by arrangement with David O. Selznick, producer of Portrait of Jenny starring Jennifer Jones and Joseph Cotton. Today, we salute America's independent retail grocers who will attend the Golden Jubilee Convention of the National Association of Retail Grocers in Chicago this week. This anniversary meeting marks more than 50 years of efficient, convenient, and courteous service to the American homemaker. Our play was adapted by SH Barnett and our music was directed by Lois Silvers. This is your announcer, John Milton Kennedy reminding you to join us again next Monday night to hear Merton of the Movies starring Mickey Rooney and Arlene Dahl. Change took your troubles away Keep dresses looking neater Keep pretty colors sweeter Short of this next Monday night to the Lux Radio Theatre presentation of Merton of the Movies starring Mickey Rooney and Arlene Dahl. Stay tuned for My Friend Irma which follows over these same stations. This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.


Tuesday, March 8th, 2022, when I'm filming this. It's 5.30 a.m. Temperature outside is actually pretty good this morning. Minus three or 26 and a half degrees Fahrenheit. I'll take it. I'm not too sure what's on the agenda for today, but... So much for that truck wash yesterday, but at least we're not adding to yesterday's dirt, I guess. Today's dirt is enough by itself. The road's not very slippery, but we got traffic here that's driving very cautiously, which I guess is better than the opposite. It has the potential to get very slippery today. We're expecting another snowstorm. Did you forget that I'm located in Manitoba if you did? Now you know, we're expecting another snowstorm. Cuz Manitoba. That's why. This winter's been a real winter. We'll call it that. It's been a real winter. The winters I remember from my childhood. A lot of snow everywhere and more is on the way. That's what happens in springtime, though. The weather starts warming up and the blizzards start rolling in. It's messy. Look at all the snow piled up here, eh? More on the way! I don't know which one of you out there is praying for more snow. Could you please stop? We've got enough. I know you want to go snowmobiling or skiing, but the rest of us don't want to be buried forever. Now look at all this. Look at all this. You know what I was thinking the other day? Imagine if it just never stopped snowing for like 100 years. This is only snow from what? Like a few months. Imagine if it just snowed like twice a week, like a big blizzard for 100 years. How much snow would be on the ground? I mean everything would be buried. Crazy, we'd have another Ice Age. Terrible thoughts, terrible thoughts. I'm sorry to even put those thoughts into your head. This is all I had to deliver here. Just a bunch of empty barrels. Nothing in them. A bunch of sailboat fuel, once again. They're just going to go into their yard here and they'll be off. So far this is the only thing going on this morning, but I'm sure that's changed by now. By the time I'm done this, there'll be something else. Here we are again. Got about a half mile visibility. Traffic is moving quite slow. We're in for another blizzard. So there wasn't much to do today because of the weather rolling in. Slow day and on top of that we have this weather. Tomorrow I'm going to Glenborough, Manitoba, which is south central-ish. Little southwest Manitoba. I guess southwest sort of. And then we're headed back to Winnipeg after that. It's a little bit of a hike tomorrow, but we'll see what happens because of this weather. The weather out west is usually worse than here on the east side of the river. On this side we've got a lot more trees, though you can't see them right now because all we see is snow. But we have a lot more trees on this side of the river, which slows the wind down. But on the west side of the river, it's all open prairies for the most part. So there's nothing really to slow down the blizzards there. So they get much worse weather on the west side than we do here on the east side. So we'll see what happens. Tomorrow we'll see how good the roads are. Hopefully this storm blows through overnight and they can get all the roads cleared. Because right now, out that way, all the roads are closed. And I'm thinking this road here, we're on Highway 59 south here. This highway is probably going to be closed too. Very soon. The highway itself is nice. It's not even that slippery. It's like ish, slippery ish. But it's winter, right?  Except for here where you got trees and bush. That's where the snow sort of sits.  I'm talking to those people who don't live in winter climates. If you're wondering, everyone who lives in a winter climate, I know I'm talking to the choir here. You guys know this already. But for those of you who don't live in this kind of climate, I'm trying to explain it a little bit for you. So once it opens up, then you get better traction again. It's just people are going slow because of these slippery sections and also because of the reduced visibility. As soon as we get past all these settlements, all these homes and stuff, and it's just open fields. Oh boy, yeah, someone's there really slowing down here now. Really slowing down here. Okay, we're almost stopping. What's going on here? See when I'm losing traction on the highway or when I have to slow down faster than I was expecting to, what I do is I go and I put my passenger side tires onto the gravel. That's a gravel shoulder there. Even though it's covered in snow, you'll have much more traction there and I can stop quicker. For those of you who don't live in a climate like this, just after this vlog, just go outside and take a deep breath and hug your nearest palm tree for me, please. I'd appreciate that. Here we go out into the open again. The wind starts picking up. Just nasty. But usually in these open sections, you get better traction because the snow doesn't sit on the highway. See, it gets slippery here around the trees because the snow doesn't blow off the highway. It just sits there and then people drive over it and pack it down and it turns into ice. This is all just a skating rink here right now. I'm going to silently just carefully glide right over it. No sudden movements. Leaving lots of room between me and that guy up there. The guy behind me is doing the same for me and I appreciate that. I really don't want anyone slamming you into the back of me.  It's your fault, but then I got to sit around and do all kinds of insurance papers. I don't have time for that. I don't want to do that.  Just don't run into me. Man, Joss, nasty. I bet you our yard at home is just one big snowdrift again. It just never ends this winter. I really wish I owned a snowmobile. That would be great. Look at this truck just appears out of nowhere. Just poof out of the snow clouds. You want to make sure you got all your lights on, right? I'm sure people can see you coming. Oh, this guy's turning left here. Okay. You see, that's why I don't leave my hazards on. All the time when people behind me can clearly see me, I'll only turn them on if I can't see anybody behind me. That way, when they're coming up to me, they know I'm going much slower than the posted speed limit. But if they're right behind me, that guy can see me. No need to have that constant ticking the whole time. Like, what does that help? It's just supposed to be to have warned people behind me who can't see me.  I'm confused. See, a lot of people have their hazards on the entire time and I understand that and it's okay. It's just to give you better visibility or to have other people better visibility of you. It's nasty. I can't do a good Cleveland voice. Nasty. Are you turning left? I'm confused because you've had your signals on now for who knows how long. Okay, now you turn it off. So you're not turning left. Now you're going straight. At least we're on the same page. Easy does it. Easy does it. Oh, oh, oh. You see, also when you have your hazards flashing like this, it's harder for me to tell when you're actually breaking unless if I can see that third brake light in the center above the window there. Because the brake lights won't come on because they're being used for the hazards. So when you brake, people behind you don't necessarily see it as clearly that you're slowing down. That's another reason I don't always use my hazards. Only when I have to. I realize in Europe and other parts of the world you have orange signals on the back. Here in North America, they can get away with just using the same lights as the brake lights, the red lights as brake lights and signals. The same bulb does both. I kind of like the idea Europe has better of where they have separate amber signals. It would solve that problem of the four ways and brake lights being used at the same time. And we're slowing down again. Take it easy, guys. Don't rush it. Don't rush it. I'm in no hurry. I'd much rather arrive late and alive than be dead. Sort of my thing. Yeah, we got eighth of a mile visibility here now. Maybe a quarter mile. We made it back safe and sound. That was some slippery, slippery roads. That is definitely the iciest road I think I may have ever driven on. It was like just smooth, smooth, like hockey rink ice with water on top of the exit. It was melting. It's a warmer day. It was insane. We were going like 40, 50 kilometers an hour, most of the way. And it's a 100 kilometer an hour speed limit. So, I mean, everyone was going really slow, but it was nice to see everybody giving proper distances behind me. So, no one run into me. Because even the slightest breath of wind wanted to push me sideways already. And it was nice to get back here, but it took twice as long to get back. And now I'm just working on the video here pretty much, putting it together for you guys. It's kind of a short one today. Not much to share with you, but that's how some days go. You guys know that. If you're new here, welcome. Down below in the description, there's all kinds of links and a whole description of who I am and where we came from, what we're doing and links to my social media. You can find me there if you want. And we're back at it tomorrow as long as the weather agrees with us. We'll see, there's a blizzard outside here right now. And we'll see. That's all I can say. It's going to take me quite a while to get everything set up in here. And one of you commented, or actually more than one of you, there's been probably half a dozen of you have commented and asked if, at the front of the shop here, if I am able to build a second story. Sort of like as an extra storage up there. I don't think that's in my plans. I don't want to build... I don't want to build a second story in here. I don't want to build anything too permanent or at least not just yet. We'll see how long we stay in here. I'm planning on being in here from henceforth from now until indefinitely. I really like this space. It's really nice. And it came at a really good price. So we'll see what happens. But for now, I'll get some temporary shelving in here. Once we get new furniture for the house, the wife's already giving me the green light to bring our furniture from the house in here. So I have couch and stuff. I'm going to bring a little TV. A little TV. When I say a little TV, what I really mean is the biggest TV I can afford in here. Obviously, men understand when I say a little TV. And we're talking like 55-inch minimum. We're going to go for 65. That's what we have in our living room at home. We'll see.  I mean, it's kind of like a rite of passage, right? You have to have one of those. And the walls in here, the drywall in here weren't mudded. All the other ones were mudded, but for some reason this one was skipped. So before I'd get it painted, I'd have to get the drywall mudded so that I can paint over it. And then, I don't know. I have no idea what my plans are, to be honest.  For now, I just want to get some shelving in here to get that product off the floor. And that's going to take a little while, too. You got to remember, we're still saving up for a house. The main part of my income is not going to be funneled into this. I don't want this to become a money pit. All of our money and our savings is going, well, first of all, towards IVF surgery procedure. That's happening this month. And that's about 20 grand. So that's a big, big cost. And then after that, we're still saving for our house to build, right? So this is a nice space. And that's all it really has to be. It doesn't have to be a super cool, awesome, like epic man cave right now. It's just a space. It's a warm space. And that's all it has to be right now. But we'll see what happens. I'm going to leave it here. And tomorrow, we'll see the aftermath of today's Blizzard. Tune in then. Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already. And I'll talk to you later.

TAT Global Alternatives with some big breaking news that I had to bring to you first. So this news broke yesterday after market. You can see TAT had a strong day, finished off the week really strong, pretty much finished off the month, finishing off the month very strong. And this isn't really surprising, considering TAT was my number one pick for August, 2021. And it hasn't disappointed. If we go and we take a look at the one month chart, we can see how TAT has performed this month. They were actually at a price of, oh, well, this is not right. Hold on, let's go. Let's go to the three month chart. Let's go to the one month chart. So here's the one month chart. So you can clearly see that TAT was as low as $3.02 at the beginning of the month and it's hit a high now of what, where is this? For 50 this month, currently sitting at 423. So it's been a very, very strong month for TAT to say the least. And I'm going to break to you the news because I think the news was really good. So here's a line here, I'm going to move this up. So you can see it hit a high of 464. So it started the month around $3, hit a high of 464, great month for TAT. You can clearly see this trended up, right? This trended up. You could see that this trended up all month. So great pick for the month. And the number one reason why I picked this for the month was because of the fact that I thought they were going to get listed on the NASDAQ this month, but they haven't even been listed on the NASDAQ and they've still gone up tremendously from let's say $3 at the beginning of the month to a high of 464 and currently trading at $4.23.

Let's take a look at the one month chart and it looks very similar. So a low of 239 in America, a high of 360 and currently sitting around 325 in America. So very strong trend for TAT. A lot of people getting ready for this NASDAQ listing hopefully soon, but the reality is this has been going up and it's not even listed yet. So that just goes to show you how much excitement is building regarding TAT. I mean, I just think this is one of the hottest stocks out there. It's a very unique company. You can clearly see it's had an incredible month as predicted. Congratulations to everyone who got into this rocket. And if you didn't get into this rocket, I don't think it's too late. Yes, kind of high right now. I think you want to get in on dips but it's nothing wrong with putting a rocket in your pocket. Okay. Now let's just break down this news. So TAT in Canada under the symbol T-A-A-T in America under the symbol T-O-B-A-F and in Frankfurt, Germany under the symbol 2-T-P. Okay. And let me just share with something here. If you guys have any questions, please put it into the group chat. I'll do my best to answer your questions. Let's see here. So this order and TAT is pleased to announce it has received a purchase order for two containers of TATs, valued at 720,000 euros, approximately 1,075,000 Canadian from a wholesaler based in London, England who will be exclusive distributor for TATs. I think that's huge, huge, huge, huge for TAT. And like I said to you guys in my opinion, this is just the beginning for TATs. We've had so many huge breakthroughs and we've had so many things happen throughout the years here. And I'll be honest with you guys, we've had so many great picks to meet TAT as one of our greatest picks. Because not only is it trading up now 1,000% since day one in about 13 months and congratulations to investors all over the world on winning on TAT. But in my opinion, it is just in the first inning. So there's still so much room for growth. Kazem trader, G-Money, Inc. says, I still think it has lots of downside, downside. 157 will be my next entry. Okay, okay, well listen, you're entitled to your opinion. Jay Gonzo says, good morning, all you legends. Jay, how much you up now, man? I know you've been in the group chat talking about how much you were winning on TAT, how much you up now. Amanda says, wow, TAT always making moves, love the UK expansion ranking up, so exciting. Thank you Amanda. And thank you guys for joining us. So let me just break down this news. So pretty big order. England, who will be the exclusive distributor for TAT in the United Kingdom and Ireland in a press release dated April 30, 2021. The company announced that it has the same distributor had placed an initial purchase order of 100,000 euros, approximately 149,000 Canadian. So the first order was for 100,000 euros and this is their second order for 720,000 euros or 1,075,000 Canadian of TAT. Previously it was 149,000 Canadian. This is almost a 10X order from the previous order. This is huge, huge, huge for TAT. And I've been saying this for TAT, they need revenue, this is revenue, so this is good. And the last order, which was 149,000 Canadian and subsequently detailed in a May 20, 2021 press release, the competitive advantages TAT would have compared to other tobacco brands in the United Kingdom where tobacco cigarettes must be sold in plain packaging as shown below in the press release. The company's distributor has also been granted a confirmation of registration to the tobacco and related products and regulatory competent authority from Public Health England providing clearance for TAT to be sold in all of Great Britain, England, Scotland and Wales, let's go TAT, because TAT is where it's at, let's go, that's right. So the launch of TAT in the United Kingdom will coincide with anticipated market changes in the coming years, resulting from the planned withdrawal, check this out, of Philip Morris International from the tobacco cigarette category in the UK by the end of the decade. Wow, that is huge for TAT, which the firm announced in late July, 2021 with the recent ban of menthol cigarettes in the United Kingdom as of May, 2020. TAT menthol can provide legal age smokers who preferred menthol tobacco cigarettes a familiar flavor profile that cannot be had with any combustible tobacco product in the country, game changer. Additionally, TAT will be sold in the United Kingdom at an attractive price point compared to leading brands of tobacco cigarettes, which stands to allow legal age smokers in the United Kingdom to benefit from a cost savings by switching to TAT. And I mean, look at that trend, guys. And that's just the last month. If you guys want me to show you what it's done in the last year, it's been an absolute rocket ship. Look at that, in America from 62 cents, I know it's been even lower than that. We can see it's been even lower, look, 10 cents. In America, it's been as low as 10 cents. It's now at $3.25. Had you got in at those prices, you're up 3,000%. This is game changing. Wow, look at all these messages. X Factor says, hey, Rich, great show. These orders are going up steadily. What a great story. And it's only going to get better in my opinion. Everybody wants their hands on TAT. Jay Gonzo says diamond hands from our last dip where I bought a 302, holding till NASDAQ baby. Well done, Jay. Work, buddy. And you know, we called that dip and we were telling everyone in our community under $3, this was a buy and clearly we were right yet again. We were right yet again. Imagine that, imagine that. Had you only just been buying TAT when I brought it to pre-IPO in June of 2020, you'd be up 10 times your money on this game changing product, which we brought first to the world and we're very proud of it. Thank you, TAT and thank you community for trusting and believing in this rocket ship, which has brought our investors who got in early 10 times their money in 13 months. That is absolutely spectacular. Well, I guess now it's 14 months. Robert Cross says, hello, Rich. Where do you see TAT in eight weeks? What price greetings from Germany? You know, that's tough to tell.  Obviously we're waiting for the NASDAQ listing. I think the NASDAQ listing could take it as high as five or $6. But I've consistently told our community that TAT needs to grow their revenue in order to justify their market cap because they've gone up a lot on future growth and excitement, hype and a very strong community of investors and a management team who's holding their shares tight. They're not loose with their shares. They're not issuing shares to anybody. So it's very tightly held. It's growing, it's growing its revenue and it's a company that has a chance to be a global giant. It has that potential. That's why the stock's done so well, clearly. So very difficult to predict, but I think with the NASDAQ listing and all the revenue rolling in and all the news that comes into TAT, we could see it goes high as $6. We've seen it at high as $6 before. I think we could see it at high as $6 again. If we take a look at the one year chart, you can clearly see it's been as high as $6. It's been over five, twice. It's been around six, once. It's been over four multiple times, but it struggles to hold four. So you need to be aware of that. So in my opinion, you wanna try to enter in TAT if you can on dips, if another dip does present itself. The investment ABC says this recent news is really big. TAT is expanding way faster than I had thought into other countries. Well, if you guys have been watching RichTV Live, you should know that TAT's a rocket. I mean, there should be nothing surprising there. Jay says, they need to get over four USD, TAT and SETI are absolute beauties, always delivering and meeting goals. If they are going to the NASDAQ, I feel safe holding while they make the dreams happen. Just make sure that if they start to drop and you're in and you start seeing your profits disappear, lock in your profits, you can always buy in on the next dip. That's the rich system.  Raid Hyatt says some YouTuber just started talking about TAT. I told him you too late, RichTV been talking about TAT forever. My man, we were the first to talk about TAT, not the second, not the third, not the fifth, not the 55th, not the 150th, the first, and that's what we do here at RichTV Live.

TAT, chief executive officer who we've had on our show many times. This man is a living legend. I'm so proud of his accomplishments and what he's done with TAT as the CEO. He's done an extremely good job and he works really hard. Setti Kaskarela commented on the news less than four months after a distributor for the UK and Ireland placed their initial purchase order valued at 149,000 Canadian. We are very pleased to have already received a second order, which I just told you for several times that amount about what, six times the amount? Not bad. In addition to clearance from Public Health England, which is huge for TAT to be sold in all of Great Britain, we fully support Philip Morris International's plan to stop selling tobacco cigarettes in the UK not just because it creates opportunities for us as we enter that market, but also because it validates what we've been saying all along that smokers of legal age deserve access, deserve access to a better choice than tobacco cigarettes after adding distribution for TAT in several, in seven new US states in two months. We are thrilled to be executing our first international launches as the next big chapter in our journey to make TAT a global brand in the US, 814 billion tobacco industry. There it is. The big news for TAT, huge order. And this is just the beginning. Thank you guys for watching. If you're not winning, you're not watching. We're bringing the winners and we bring them to you first. TAT is where it's at. There ain't nobody else that brought you TAT first, only you're more rich. It's true. Thank you guys for watching. Have a great weekend. You're more rich, you're much to be alive. Bring you the big news from TAT. And I'm out. Peace.


How do you do? Thank you. Thank you very much. Well, thank you all very much. Mr. Siebert, all of you, welcome to the old Executive Office building. It's an honor to be able to speak to you, the members of the American Retail Federation. You represent a vital sector of our economy, one that employs 18 million Americans. And I want you to know how much I appreciate the support that you've given to our administration from the very first. It's been a while now, and we're getting to be the best kind of friends, old friends. We can look back on many a battle that we've been through together, and isn't it nice to be able to say that most of the time we won. When we took office, our nation saw orbiting interest rates and stratospheric inflation in a mothballed military, not anymore, not by a long shot. With your help, we've slashed tax rates, cut back needless regulations, liberating the entrepreneurial genius of the American people and giving our nation one of the strongest periods of economic growth in post-war history. Think of the products the new spirit of enterprise has put on our shelves, or your shelves, products undreamed of just a few years ago, personal computers, compact disc players, new fabrics, even teddy bears that tell entire stories. We've begun rebuilding our military. You know, in those unusual gifts, I have to tell you, someone gave me one the other day. It was new to me. It was a little duck, and if you squeezed it, it laid jelly beans. But we've begun rebuilding our military and regaining the trust of our allies and the respect of our adversaries, and we've made strides toward getting deficit spending under control once and for all. Of course, we faced opposition every step of the way. Just look at the budget the House of Representatives passed last week. What does that budget call for? You guessed it, weakening our defenses and raising our taxes. There's something about this that would be ridiculous if it weren't so sad. For nearly five and a half years now, the American people have been repudiating the old policies of high taxes at home and weakness abroad. The opposition keeps coming back with the same old thing. To borrow a comparison from retailing, the opposition is beginning to look as out of it as a department store that is stocked wide ties in bell-bottom pants. The American people just aren't buying. Neither is the Senate, neither am I. In addition to this budget, the Democratic leadership in the House has put together a trade bill, or rather I should say an anti-trade bill that is openly and rankly political. This anti-trade bill, this protectionist legislation, would have our nation violate the most basic tenets of free and fair international trade. Indeed, it would plunge the world into a trade war, eroding our relations with our allies and free world trading partners. Economic growth in America and around the world would be the casualty. And again, there's a certain sense in which this effort in the part of the opposition is embarrassingly old-fashioned and out-of-date. We've known since the Smoot-Hawley tariffs of 1930 that protectionist legislation doesn't work, that it means less world trade and less prosperity here at home. I'm one of the few around here maybe that has a firsthand memory of trying to get a job in the Great Depression, but the Smoot-Hawley tariff that we adopted spread that depression worldwide and lengthened out by decades our ability to recover. So our administration has worked to open markets, not to close them, and to keep those markets fair. Where trading partners appear to be cheating Americans, we're taking action. Already we have a number of investigations underway, but the House bill would cost American consumers billions and undercut the millions of American jobs connected with foreign trade. And believe me, I don't intend to let that happen. And I'd like to ask your help in letting the Congress know that the answer is more world trade, not less. And I don't think I can ask if I need to count on you or can count on you. I'm taking that for granted. But these budget and anti-trade bills are rearguard actions, they're manifestations of the past. The future belongs to others, to those like you who believe in using these next two and a half years to lock in the gains that we've already made in working to institutionalize this Second American Revolution of hope and opportunity. We've already seen a giant step in this direction with the dramatic breakthrough of tax reform in the Congress. And would I be wrong if I thought that maybe the Secretary of the Treasury has already talked to you about tax reform? A consensus is forming in America around low tax rate pro-growth policies. Looking back on the redistributionist high tax policies of the late 70s, it now seems like the dark ages.  As the tax reform bill now before the Senate makes clear, by cutting tax rates every American can come out a winner. And pulling together, rather than pulling apart, we can all contribute to fulfilling America's destiny of greatness. I must admit there were times in this process as tax reform wended its way through the sometimes convoluted passageways of Congress that even I had some momentary doubts. I told a group last night that it was a little like the time Marilyn Monroe, the late Marilyn Monroe met Albert Einstein. And Marilyn grabbed him with the arm and said, let's get married. Einstein looked at her and replied, but my dear, what of our children had my looks and your brains? As I said, there were moments of concern. But thanks to the far-sighted imaginative leadership of Bob Packwood and the other members of the Senate Finance Committee, we can all be proud parents. With your support, we are writing history with this bill. I've noticed that some of those who are speaking out the loudest against tax reform don't mention one very significant goal that's achieved in that present bill, and that is simplification. And just to illustrate what we're up against with the present tax code that started out with a 16-word amendment to the Constitution and now has, I think, a line of books 57 feet long that encompass the tax code, here's just a sample of some of that internal revenue code. The last sentence of section 509a of the code, for purposes of paragraph 3, an organization described in paragraph 2 shall be deemed to include an organization described in section 501c45 or 6, which would be described in paragraph 2 if it were an organization described in section 501c3. I think that says it all. Well, so this is not the moment, or this is not the moment, to bring tax rates down to their lowest level in half a century. I said that wrong. I reversed the sentence. Is this not the moment to bring tax rates down to their lowest level in half a century, to open the doors to opportunity for every American, no matter what their background or color of their skin, and to fire the entrepreneurial engines that will carry America into the 21st century? Yes, the time is now. You know, I believe we have the chance to combine pro-growth tax reform with spending restraint and a balanced budget. Inflation will become a memory of the distant past, rather than a slumbering beast always ready to be awakened by overspending. Interest rates can fall further, making that first home no longer a dream, but a reality for young couples today. Declining interest rates, low inflation, a healthy growing economy. Imagine what this means to our nation's retailers. And imagine what it will mean in time to our struggling farmers, to our homeowners and car buyers, or to the millions of American entrepreneurs trying to raise capital to start a new business. We're seeing no less than a new America, a rising America reaching up to our greatest dreams, bound by the values of love for country, family, faith, and freedom that have held us together in good times and bad since our earliest days. You know, as we looked at the second half of this second term, I sometimes think of the quip that Mark Twain is supposed to have made about listening to an opera in German. He said, you have to wait until the end to hear the verb. Well, so it is with this administration. There's a great deal left to be accomplished before the final curtain. And when we do reach that curtain, my friends, I'm confident our verb will be done, well done. So thank you again for your friendship and support. And God bless you all. Thank you. Thank you very much. Don't tempt me too far. Remember my previous occupation, I might try for an encore. Thank you.


The good for the good for the good for the good for the good is the good for us. We are just going to the field to buy some. We will plant new crops, there will be a lot of them. There will be no wheat, but there will be for ourselves, for the people, for everyone. It's absolutely crucial right now to help the farmers, the big ones, but also the small ones. First because there is a lack of income later on and the country will not be able, of course, to have access to the national market to food and could be some problems with the price maybe rising. But also it's because Ukraine's agriculture is one of the major sectors of the country. So when you have a reduction on the production from the farmers, then it's all the country which is affected.
