SINPO=24222

1825- Comedy radio drama before live audience. Mel Blanc Show.
1829- Old time radio commercial for Colgate Tooth Powder, with sung jingle on either side of it.
1830- "This is Mel Blanc, saying thanks for listening," followed by his Porky Pig "That's All Folks."
1830- OM announcer over music closes out the Mel Blanc show.
1830- Old time radio commercial for shampoo.
1831- Music, followed by two OMs commenting on the Mel Blanc show, and then debating whether to play another one. Email address given for Dickweedemail, I believe, for eQSL. Talking about a girl he met in 1998 in AOL chatroom, but Mr. Dickweed escaped unscathed, fortunately. Back to Mel Blanc talk and his wonderful radio show. It's going to be about fixing the water heater. Another shot of vodka and cigarette, and here is the show. ID's Radio Free Whatever, into...
1836- Intro to another Mel Blanc show, with many of his characters being showcased in the intro. Mel and Betty chatting about their relationship, and the show continues.
