    Egad - they didn’t even get free TV out of it or something.

    But at least that has a sort of “old west” kinda name to it. Like “death valley” or “last chance saloon”.

      I’d heard the name, but just assumed it was one of those weird old west names. I had no idea it was named after a radio show!
