Norm Nathan's Vault of Silliness

Hello, hello and thanks for checking in to Norm Nathan’s Vault of Silliness. Please sit down and get comfortable as we bring you another 2-part show which I’ve titled ‘Two Pairs and a Bunch of Jokers.’

There’s a whole heck of a lot to tell you about so let’s get started.

We begin with a DBG from November 20^th, 1993. After that we will mosey on to the post-game 4-5am hour and our regularly scheduled NNS already in progress.

The players for this game are:

Betty in Sudbury maybe a first-time player?

Betty from Hyde Park definitely, a first-time player

Alan from Medford but working in Watertown

Jack from Cumberland, RI another first-timer

Tony Nesbitt in studio

A stressed and strained Jack Harte from the Pru

Sid Whittaker – producing, playing and later, uncovering a family secret

The Birthdays:

Alistair Cooke

Dick Smothers

Bo Derek

Richard Dawson

Veronica Hamel

Sean Young

Estelle Parsons

And Judy Woodruff

We hear some events, but they are NOT part of the game.

And we are informed of some birthdays of the dead.

We close that hour with a post-game caller from Mike in Medford.

After a brief intermission we return with our second act.

Beginning with a fade in of a Gold Bond commercial

Accuwx w/Paul Pastelok and Norm provides a temperature that meteorologists everywhere are still researching.

Then we are joined by WCVB Ch. 5’s Steve Sbraccia who was bringing coffee to his wife, WBZ Radio’s Susan Rist!

Norm has known both since they were just wee little news reporters.

Now comes the promenade of caller persons:

Al in Framingham

Glenn from Brighton

Mick from Boardman, Ohio

This next call is one of the best:

The warm, toasty and flirty Marie from Revere. So much riotous laughter.

Brad in Lapeer, Michigan

John in Lynn

Generosa joins us to give John directions to the St. Adelaide’s Craft Show and could there be a love connection as well?

They make plans on how to identify each other and Norm has some recommendations for Generosa.

Helen from New Bedford - She asks Norm what he would do were he President and the list is impressive. Especially the last entry.

Ed from Cambridge – Tells story of when he met a couple practicing their golf swing across the street from WBZ that turned out to be Steve and Susan!

And we close with Beverly. She came to Massachusetts from Cannon Beach, Oregon in 1961. Always listened to Norm. Moved back to Oregon about 7 years ago and happens to was back visiting to sell some property. She just had to tell Norm how special he is to her.
