Greeting and salutations. I see you’ve returned for another episode of Norm Nathan’s Vault of Silliness. You have excellent taste.
Before we start, I want to mention that Peepers 2022 will be hopping onto the digital streaming platforms soon! I’ve heard a few here and there but my favorite spot has been quiet. When the peeper speed dating begins, I’ll bring back those mingling sounds and share them with you.
Ok…Today we have a DBG from April 17th, 1993, which I’ve titled “Gabby Birthday!” You will understand why in a few minutes.
A Norm chuckle kicks this one off. Norm and Westinghouse agree that he’s money well spent.
Do you want to hear a Yiddish colloquialism?
The Clientele (players) for the game is/are a panel of virgins:
Mike from Wakefield
Kay in Easton
Dave in Bellingham
Gabby from Brookline
I’m in studio and Jack Harte’s in Traffic

There’s lots of love from the player’s post-game.
Norm, Jack and I chuckle for world brotherhood!
And Norm again wonders what kind of a station WBZ is to allow this foolishness on the air.
Commercials:
Gold Bond with Todd Adams from Haverhill, MA and his itchy, burning left foot.
A VERY enthusiastic Gil Santos tells us that WBZ and the Lottery want to send you to Greece!
And Norm’s preferred medication to help him get through the show – Marezine.
We close with Norm, Gabby Hayes and Arthur Godfrey performing one of the first rap songs.
They are joined by a guest whistler and a world-renown trombone player!
Oh the laughs we have on this one!
Let’s start the party. Episode 82, Gabby Birthday! Begins now.
