"As Robinson smiles, Martindale says, 'Someone asked me yesterday, 'Do you ever think about retiring?’ And I think about Art Linkletter’s line and reply: 'Retire from what? Hell, I'm not tired.’ What Robinson thinks about this remark is anyone’s guess, but speculation is cut short by Red stating, 'Wink, I appreciate all of this, the great stories: that’s what radio used to be all about.' 'Yes. We used to be able to get on the air and talk like that. It didn't matter whether it took five seconds, or five minutes. We would tell a story and tie it to the music, and unfortunately these good days are gone forever.' In this episode, Wink tells the story of his 1959 million-seller 'Deck of Cards', and working with Vancouver broadcaster Wayne Cox on a couple of TV game shows.
