SINPO=23222, but diving down into QRN regularly and tough to copy.

2334- Music. OM singing. ("DAH-de-DUM-di-dum, DAH-de-DUM-di-dum..." repeats a cappella style).
2335- OM IDs.
2335- Music. OM singing. Whistling and humming.
2338- Theatrical sounding instrumental music. OM talks about "thousand dollar" and "marathon" and gives phone number, 713-520-5738.
2339- "Ruby Baby" I presume by Dion.
2341- Music, sounds like 40s/50s instrumental, potentially Big Band.
2343- OM IDs over music, and music continues. Maybe some laughter or effects at 2344.
2345- Theatrical sounding instrumental music. Funky keyboard.
2349- OM talking over music with what sounds like reverb. Music continues.
2350- Off I believe.
