I’m so happy you’ve clicked on us again for another thrilling episode from Norm Nathan’s Vault of Silliness.
Tell your friends, spread the word, like and subscribe.
This is a smorgasbord of Norm, or should I say, “SmorgasNorm?” It’s a little different as we have two DBG’s that bracket a ‘regular’ Norm Show.
The first part is from July 8th, 1995. We get some great pre-game laughs and play just a little before the tape switches to July 15th, 1995 and Steve Leveille, who, at the time, was filling in for David Brudnoy. He talks about his heroes and then we skip to he and Norm continuing that discussion on Norm’s Show. We then move to Norm interviewing a guest and then close with different pre-DBG chatter that’s so good the tape ran out before the game even started!
SO here are some additional details for those of you keeping score at home:
DBG #1 The players:
Tony on the phone
Jack in traffic
Hope Schauer producing and playing
Bob in Brighton
Cutter from Newton
Mark in Gardner
Howard from Boston
Dead Bdays: (only mentioned, not played)
Marty Feldman
Billy Eckstein
Louie Jordan
Fae Emerson
Nelson Eldrich Rockefeller
Bdays:
Steve Lawrence – who started as a cantor at his synagogue. Same way Norm started!
We are blessed with the High Mass version of the EAS test with
Fr. Jack, Bro. Tony and Rabbi Normala.
Angelica Huston
Kevin Bacon
We never find out how old he is because the game is interrupted by an interview* for more than 10 minutes. It was already in progress and it gets cut off so I do not include that here as we do return to the gang and continue with:
Craig Stevens
Phil Graham
George Romney
There’s some talk about Norm’s hay filled car, which, I might add, have personal experience with.
We learn about some peculiar zoning regulations in Middleton, MA
Steve’s recent, terrible wiffleball outing, where he gave up 6 runs in the first inning, leads to the discussion of a guest appearing later (though we don’t have that interview here). It had to do with the WWF: World Wiffleball Federation tournament being held in Hopkinton, MA.
Then Norm introduces his first guest, Penny DeYoung. She and her husband, Buddy, have an 80-acre dairy farm located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan that they have turned into a zoo.
The interview does get cut off but what we do hear is super-entertaining.
We then return to new pre-DBG game chatter: two women, Deborah and Jenny. Norm tries to play matchmaker, but Jack politely declines and gives his reason.
At times, the audio quality is not the best but that only makes you listen more closely!
