Norm Nathan's Vault of Silliness

This episode took a while to produce as I had to stop a few times due to uncontrollable laughter. Now I may be building this up but if you don’t at least laugh out loud and maybe even hit pause to collect yourself then I don’t even know you!

Gracing the airwaves today is a NNS from June 10^th, 1995.

It is a mash-up of 2 hours and I’ve titled it: The Games People Play

Hope Schauer is producing.

We begin with some mystery applause for someone named ‘Jim.’

Norm reads the Accuweather forecast…or does he?

We are then joined by a the very serious Bert Cohen – a veritable master of all thing’s marbles. They talk about an upcoming Marble Tournament being held on the Boston Common at the Frog Pond.

This leads into Norm and I and callers talking all about children’s games, being creative, the old days and not so old days, rhymes, jokes and antioxidants.

Callers:

Pete from Methuen

Paul in Winthrop

Ed from Boston

Jen in Salem

Jeremy from Framingham or NC?

Elaine from Chelsea on a payphone including the clicking and operator warning as her time expires!

And a side-splitting call from Kay in Lunenburg who informs us on the history of Ring Around the Rosie.

Other highlights include:

Commercials from Dave Maynard for Caitlin Travel, Jack Harte tells us about Kwai Garlic and an unforgettable, partial, live read from Norm for PowerVites. That sponsor got so much more than the sixty seconds they paid for.

We learn of the great 12^th century Maestro Myron Boskowitz and his pharmaceutical background.

I pry into Norm’s life and ask a very personal question.

We are stopped in our tracks not once, but twice with thought provoking, life changing quotes from Norm’s Hungarian Gypsy Princess Grandmother (HGPG).

There’s talk about some talentless bum who gets a lot of publicity.

Phone prompt Hell

And bile duct blockage.

Ep 90, The Games People Play, jumps into your ears in 3, 2 and 1.
