Groucho Marx
About this listen
Groucho Marx is your quizmaster and host to one of the funniest and most popular quiz shows from radio and television, You Bet Your Life! Enjoy 16 fun-filled comedy episodes from the long-running radio series!
Created by John Guedel, You Bet Your Life was one of the best-loved quiz shows to air on both radio and television. It was hosted by Groucho Marx of the Marx Brothers, with announcer and assistant George Fenneman. It debuted on radio in 1947 and lasted until 1960. For much of this time it was also seen on television. Contestant teams usually consisted of one male and one female, mostly selected from the studio audience. Groucho would engage in humorous conversations with the contestants and if they said the “secret word” (a common word revealed to the audience at the outset of each episode) a toy duck resembling Groucho - with eyeglasses and a mustache - descended from the ceiling to bring a $100 prize. After the conversations, the actual game began. Contestants were allowed to choose from a list of 20 available categories and try to answer a series of questions within the category to win additional money. At the end of the show, the contestants could play for a Jackpot question, risking half of their previous earnings in the hope of winning the Jackpot. Enjoy 16 hilarious comedy episodes of You Bet Your Life!

Story4 out of 5 stars 708
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Separated by 10 years, 3,000 miles, and the unrelenting stresses of adulthood, best friends Janet and Serena plan a 40th birthday girls’ trip to reconnect. But after a massive crash, they’re the only survivors to wash ashore on an uncharted Caribbean Island. Armed with only the clothes on their backs and zero survival skills, they fight to overcome hunger, thirst, deadly wildlife—and most terrifyingly—decades of accrued resentment. Can they find their way home, or will they kill each other first?

Traumatized by the bombing of Dresden at the time he had been imprisoned, Pilgrim drifts through all events and history, sometimes deeply implicated, sometimes a witness. He is surrounded by Vonnegut's usual large cast of continuing characters (notably here the hack science fiction writer Kilgore Trout and the alien Tralfamadorians, who oversee his life and remind him constantly that there is no causation, no order, no motive to existence).

A bad best man’s speech can ruin a wedding. Why do we plan every detail of a perfect day and then give the groom’s idiot best friend five minutes of total power? Enter Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself (and the newlyweds), Nate uses his list of don’ts: Don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don’t bum everyone out. Nate’s system never fails. That is, until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun).

The original problem has been fixed
I was really excited for the arrival of volume four because my wife and I had just finished listening to the first three volumes. We ended up listening to them in reverse order, starting with volume three and finishing with volume one. As soon as we started listening to volume four we realized that we’d heard these episodes before. As it turns out, the content of volume four was identical to the content of volume three. I pointed this out to Audible customer service and they automatically returned the title and gave me a full refund. They did say that they would contact me when the error has been corrected and volume four contains different episodes from volume three. Once the problem is fixed I will buy it again.
UPDATE: After waiting about two weeks short of a whole year I finally got an update from Amazon. I realize that this makes absolutely no sense whatsoever but they told me that the publisher told them that volume 4 is intentionally an exact duplicate of volume 3 and that because it’s a set of radio shows they can’t fix it. Of course they can fix it! All they have to do is remove the 16 duplicate episodes and replace them with 16 episodes that were not included in the first three volumes.
UPDATE 2: I contacted the publisher to address my concern about this release. He had no idea what I was talking about and assured me that that was the first time hearing about the problem and that nobody from Audible had ever contacted him about my complaint. He promised to look into it and get back to me. Well, on a whim I decided to try and repurchase volume 4 to check and see if it was still a repeat of volume 3. The first thing I noticed was that volume 4 was now four minutes shorter than volume 3 and when I started listening it was now something different than it was a year ago. So I have updated my review accordingly.

ENDLESS FUN!!
Great old time radio listening hosted by one of America’s iconic funny man, Groucho Marx. I could listen to these shows over and over again, and I do! Always great for a good laugh and mood enhancer. One of my absolute favorite old time radio programs. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore, they just don’t….☺️
