Starting at 52:59 -- that's it! The famous quote that started the decades-long Fred Allen/Jack Benny feud! I'm so glad I actually got to hear it, but it sounds remarkably innocuous the way Fred says it. Who could have predicted what that one little joke would inspire?!! Thanks so much to whomever posted this for making it available!
