What happens
Fibber McGee and Molly and their friends set out in an overcrowded car to see the Notre Dame and West Point football game in South Bend, Indiana.

Fibber McGee and Molly is a comedy series, and this October 29, 1940 episode on NBC Radio was written by Don Quinn. The lead actors include Harold Peary, Bill Thompson, Gale Gordon and Arthur Q.

Listen for: Fibber's attempt to talk his way out of a traffic stop, and the car's stubborn refusal to start.
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.
