What happens
Fibber McGee and Molly is a radio comedy series, and this episode from April 22, 1941, on NBC Radio stars Harold Peary, Bill Thompson, Gale Gordon and Arthur Q. Bryan. Fibber McGee grows restless one evening and tries to get out of the house while his wife Molly is still at home. Neighbors and friends, including Gildersleeve, Mr. Wimple and Doc Morton, are planning a poker game at the Elks Lodge, and Molly reacts to their invitations with a mix of suspicion and amusement. The evening turns into a series of mishaps and arguments among the men as their plans fall apart.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
