Norm Nathan's Vault of Silliness - Ep 62

We begin Year 2 of Norm Nathan’s Vault of Silliness with a Dumb Birthday game from November 2^nd, 1991.

I am calling this one The Rift since Norm is hating on me, right from the start. So much so that I stop talking to him and have Jack relay my answers to Norm.

Besides the palpable displeasure with me there’s lots of good stuff in this one.

Players:

Stacy from Boston

Steve the Wrestler from Melrose

Kristin from Dorchester

Scott from Peabody

Tony producing and on the phone from the control room

Jack Harte from the Pru

Bdays with all the music and sfx:

Burt Lancaster

Ray Walston

Pat Buchanan – and Norm doesn’t hold back

The adjective rich Stephanie Powers from Haahht to Haahht

11/4

Walter Cronkite

Art Carney

11/5

Tatum O’Neal

Back to 11/4

The adjective laden Loretta Swit – Jack adds some very interesting info

Do we actually hear the age 76 guessed without saying “That’s the Spirit?”

A 55 without “That’s the limit?”

A 66 without “That’s the route?”

A 77 without “That’s the Strip?”

You’ll have to break out your stat sheet and keep track at home.

After the game we are entertained by the following:

Some Bottom of the hour news with Norm (10 minutes or so late)

Traffic with Jack

Accuwx with Norm

Caller:

Randy ‘The Macho Man’ Savage

He said he heard that Norm went out as him for Halloween because he went out as Norm.

Old, dry Norm Show Open

And we close with diving into our telephone booth reference book and place a call to the Motel 6 in Sioux Falls, SD to ask about the blizzards. Norm speaks with the front desk clerk, Joan.

Even though she can’t occupy that main line, Norm manages to keep her on for a short time and then someone walks in and she had to go.

We are also graced with a variety of commercials!
