Norm Nathan's Vault of Silliness - Ep 58

Buna Ziua, Romania! Welcome to Norm Nathan’s Vault of Silliness!

I would also like to note that we have surpassed 70 subscribers on YouTube.

Let’s keep it going and thank you just so darn much.

A cassette from October 9^th, 1993 jumped off the shelves for our episode today which I have titled: Storytime with Uncle Norm as Norm adds some great details to some of our birthdays.

However, before we get to the DBG we have a taste of the 2am hour to entertain us. 

It begins with a very foggy traffic report from Jack Harte and some Accuweather from Dave Ryan.

We hear from Don who’s 300 miles north of Toronto in Sudbury Ontario, Canada where it’s 28 degrees and snowing.

The caller and Norm get a bit political. Amazingly, it’s a bit telling of the times we are living in now.

Jane on a car phone who’s very thankful for Norm’s show on her drive home from work

And then we have Allison in Saugus who has some sage advice on how to treat a genius. This one is another shining example of Norm’s wit.

And now it’s DBG time!

It starts with some player introductions:

Rosemarie from Wellesley

The debut performance of Sid Whittaker!

But the tape runs out and switches sides. When it starts again, we hear Norm chortling about something. Probably about the revolving door of producers he’s had. Hearing is laugh just makes me smile.

We continue with player intros:

I’m in studio with Mike Epstein

And Jack Harte (who has an astounding game)
