Fibber McGee and Molly – Going To A Football Game. ep1430, 571110

A black and white photograph of Fibber McGee and Molly, a couple from a popular radio show of the same name. They are standing in front of a closet that has been opened, with clothes and other items spilling out onto the floor. Fibber is holding a mop and wearing an apron, while Molly looks on with a smile on her face. The overall effect is one of humor and domesticity, with the couple's playful antics and cluttered living space providing a snapshot of life in mid-century America in 1948.

Getting set for the big game, Fibber remembers his days as Fourth Down McGee, and his exploits on the old grid iron. A feat that Molly remembers differently. Listen in for a description of Fibber’s fashion sense to go to the big game, complete with knickers, and raccoon coat. He won’t be conspicuous, will he?

At sports events, the food concessions are too expensive for McGee, and Molly pitches in with other times when he was a cheapskate. What other preparations will need to be made? Blankets, chairs, portable generators, lamps, and more.

Expecting a big crowd for the big game, the McGees find an empty stadium, and nobody to take their tickets. Good thing they decided to come as prepared as they did. What’ll it takes to clue the McGee’s in that the game isn’t going to be held here today?
