Show Notes

The Vault of Silliness is open. As I stroll around inside, this tape caught my eye.

A Dumb Birthday game from August 3rd, 1991.

I have titled this one: The Eyes (that's e-y-e-s), The Eyes Have It.

It begins with the theme music I would play before we had a ‘real’ song.

There weren’t many well-known people born on this day, so we dive into the rest of the week to fill out the game.

The cast of characters includes:

Judy from Needham

The whispery George from Pepperell

The ‘eye-catching’ Constance from Weymouth

Scott in Peabody

I’m producing and on the phone from the control room

And Jack Harte in Traffic

 

Birthdays with all the SFX:

Martin Sheen

Tony Bennett

Lonnie Andersen

Robert Mitchum

Dustin Hoffman

Esther Williams

Melanie Griffith – now the jokes that ensue here are based on a national news story at the time. I’ll leave out the details and let the comedy slice its way to your funny bone.

Lastly, we have Keith Carradine

There’s yet another round of accusations that could result in a Birthday-ola/Dumb Birthday-gate scandal.

 

Commercials:

Joan Cantwell for Gold Bond

Keep It In Your Sneaker

Dr. Howard Smith Promo!

Norm reads one for LoJack

Sears Siding

WBZ Promo for Patriots Football (Gil Santos and Gino Cappeletti)

Steve Allen for Resolve Stop-Smoking Kit

 

A very EYE-opening Dumb Birthday Game begins…now.
