Norm Nathan's Vault of Silliness - Ep 74

Man, it’s slim pickins in the February deposit drawer here at Norm Nathan’s Vault of Silliness. With that being said, this episode and next weeks are money in the bank.

Norm, who was sick as a dog the week before may just relapse during this game. Heck, my reflux was kicking up producing this one. After we start the game, I’m going to have myself a nice tall glass of Brioschi.

The title of this beauty will be: InfluPUNza

Players:

Mary from Kennebunkport

Kevin in PA

Bill from Orange St in Chelsea

Peter at B.U.

Jack Harte in Traffic

I'm producing and in studio 

Bdays:

Elizabeth Taylor – her perfumes at the time were Passion, White Diamonds and a limited-edition fragrance that was available only in the WBZ Tacky Gift and Book Shop.

The Liz talk brings up the subject of Michael Jackson and the Jackson family and Norms’ revelations as to why he feels so out of place.

Joanne Woodward 

Howard Hesseman

Mary Frann

Guy Mitchell

Ralph Nader – and now it’s a full blown PUNdemic

John Connolly

Chelsea Clinton

Norm cannot believe he’s hosting a show like this. When he was on WMEX (the glory days of broadcasting), doing a program called The Classical Album, he thought he would continue on in radio with class, not descend into his current career of despair.

A player goes a loooong way to make a joke.

However, it prompts Norm to offer some commentary on Boston Phoenix publisher, Steve Mindich.

Lastly, we get a Date in History:

What year did the Boston Celtics beat the Minnesota Lakers 179 – 139.

Norm educates us on the seven NBA records which fell that day.

After the final scores are tabulated it’s a raucous goodbye from the players:

Mary closes the game with quite the invitation.

Kevin adds that this is the most exciting hour in radio.

Bill is making smooching sounds.

Peter questions his life choices.

Commercials:

Ovaltine

Bretton Woods w/Dave Maynard

Triple-Action Gold Bond with a dry and itchy Arthur Lamenen of Ipsilanti, MI

Norm’s enjoyed Arthur’s voice and admits he’s also itchy all over.

We now get an Accuwx forecast from Uncle Norm accompanied by peepers and silliness.

We spend a moment with Roberta Motts from St. John’s, MI with her red bottomed baby healed by the miracle of Baby Gold Bond!

And Norm announces his secret plans for the show after the news.

Ep 74 – InfluPUNza, transmits across the airwaves in 3,2 and 1.
