Comments

• Shep refers to In God We Trust All Others Pay Cash having been published the year before (1966) and the Dago Bomb story having appeared in Playboy "a couple of years ago, (July 1965) This makes it seem that the show is from 1967.

The show from Greg Motyka is same as the 1967 show from JS Project. Max had played it 07/04/2000 and listed it as 1968 or 1970. JSP got it from that broadcast. Based on the different comercials the 1968 show must be a rebroadcast of the 1967 show.

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
