[00:01:01] Speaker B: That's what we're going to play the dumb birthday game. Let me introduce you to members of the panel, which looks exciting. We have John who's out in Amherst playing the game with us today. Nice to have you with us, Big John.
[00:01:11] Speaker C: Hi, Uncle Norm. I assume you received my mail.
I don't oh, I caught you off.
[00:01:21] Speaker B: Yeah, no, no, I don't remember now. When did you send that?
[00:01:26] Speaker C: Sent it about 2 hours after Paul did his fifth cover bridge joke during the last couple of birthdays.
[00:01:33] Speaker B: I see. It may be out there, may not have gotten to it. I'll have to check. Anyway, we also have with us Howard who's in New Hampshire. Hi, Howard. How are you, Norm? Good, thank you. Is this your first crack at this?
[00:01:43] Speaker C: No, I've done it before. I won on my birthday in February. I played one more time and didn't do quite as well.
[00:01:51] Speaker B: Okay, well, I hope today you do.
[00:01:53] Speaker C: Well, but I just wanted to say for that lady that was upset about Cinderella yes? What would she think of Snow White? I mean, what could they say about Snow White living with those?
[00:02:07] Speaker B: Yeah, no, I brought that up. As a matter of fact, that very same topic. Funny you should mention that.
[00:02:12] Speaker C: Oh, I didn't hear.
[00:02:13] Speaker B: No, no, because that's right here's a single young lady living with these seven gnawed little midget old guys. No, I don't. Would I'd be upset by that myself?
[00:02:24] Speaker C: Well, what about Jack and the Beanstalk? He stole all the giants possessions and then chopped down the what'smer jigger and killed the poor man.
[00:02:36] Speaker B: That wasn't nice, was it?
[00:02:38] Speaker C: A very nice man.
[00:02:39] Speaker B: It wasn't a nice man at all, too.
And Goldilocks, what right had she to break into a house owned by the three Bears and eat their food? That's right, slept in their bed, ate their food. I mean, no wonder they got angry. No wonder she had a runaway. That's true.
I don't know. And Jack broke his crown. The Jack and Jill.
[00:03:04] Speaker C: You think they were really going up the hill just for think?
[00:03:08] Speaker B: I think they had other things in mind. Myself, personally, I've always been suspicious of that.
Okay? And we have Bertha, who's down in Rhode Island. Hi, Bertha.
[00:03:18] Speaker D: Hi, how are you?
[00:03:19] Speaker B: I'm just fine, thank you.
[00:03:20] Speaker D: Happy New Year to you.
[00:03:22] Speaker B: Thank you very much.
[00:03:23] Speaker D: I was just thinking, does that man who wrote the book about Cinderella does he want to make some money and make it look like Madonna?
[00:03:32] Speaker B: I don't know that you may have given somebody an idea, though, you know.
[00:03:36] Speaker D: And I love when you interject Yiddish words. Makes me feel so good.
[00:03:40] Speaker B: Okay, I'm sorry. I don't know more of them than I do, but I'll see if I can pick them up.
[00:03:44] Speaker D: I love it.
[00:03:45] Speaker B: Okay, here's Bonnie, who's in Andover, one of the very pretty cities up pretty towns, as a matter of fact, up in Essex County. How are you doing, Bonnie?
[00:03:54] Speaker D: Good morning, Norm. How are you?
[00:03:55] Speaker B: I'm just fine. You have played the game with us before.
[00:03:58] Speaker D: Never. First time.
[00:03:59] Speaker B: First time. Oh, well, welcome, and we'll be terribly gentle with you.
[00:04:03] Speaker D: Thank you.
[00:04:03] Speaker B: Okay, we have Charity, who we talked with earlier today, who's in Rockland and good morning. Good morning, Charity. I'm glad you stayed up this late.
[00:04:14] Speaker D: Oh, sure. I work nights.
[00:04:15] Speaker E: I'm always up.
[00:04:17] Speaker B: What kind of work do you do?
[00:04:18] Speaker E: I work in the office of Jordan's Furniture.
[00:04:21] Speaker B: And you work nights?
[00:04:22] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:04:23] Speaker B: All night. You stay up all night?
[00:04:24] Speaker E: No, second shift. I work till 10:00.
[00:04:27] Speaker B: Oh, I see. Do you work in a place where they have that what do they call that? Motion odyssey movie. Motion odyssey movie.
[00:04:32] Speaker E: Yes, I do.
[00:04:33] Speaker B: In the Avon place. That's supposed to be sensational. Have you sat through it?
[00:04:37] Speaker E: Yes, I have.
[00:04:38] Speaker B: Did it scare you?
[00:04:40] Speaker E: No. I couldn't stop laughing, actually.
[00:04:43] Speaker B: Really? Because a friend of mine sat through that and he said that was so realistic and with the chairs moving and stuff. And he said it was really scary.
[00:04:53] Speaker E: Oh, I love roller coasters and things like that. I loved it.
They have a laser preshow, which I feel is even better than the ride because the music is terrific and the lasers are really incredible.
[00:05:09] Speaker B: Are you a beautiful lady? Because you have a great voice.
I love that question.
[00:05:15] Speaker E: Blush now. Cut that out.
[00:05:16] Speaker B: Okay, I won't pursue the question because voices, if anybody who's looked at me know that voices have nothing whatever to do with your physical appearance. But you do have a great voice. I was mentioning last time I talked with you you ought to be doing an all night show. You could wipe out our audience totally. All the guys would be listening to you.
[00:05:34] Speaker D: We'd still be working second shift, I guess.
[00:05:36] Speaker B: Okay. That's right. Is this the second shift? This will be the third shift or maybe the first shift. I don't know. Anyway, we have tony is with us too. Tony Nesbitt, our producer. Hello. Tony a regular customer of Jordan's Furniture. Are you really? Yeah. Well, that's very yeah. The only thing silly about Jordan's is the two guys who do the commercials. And I tell you, the people who work there are very nice looking. What's that? Please. Maybe they should put me because they have such heavy New England accents. They're kind of fun. I don't resent them any. Hi. Sit in this chair. Yeah, they don't talk quite and they're.
[00:06:15] Speaker E: The same in person, too.
[00:06:16] Speaker B: They talk that same silly way in person.
[00:06:18] Speaker E: I see them every day.
[00:06:19] Speaker B: They're the same way.
We also have Bill Wilson with us, our WBC ace traffic reporter. Hi, Bill. Hi, Norm. I'm an owner of a sofa with a see just what I want. I want to put a bottle of soda under my aunt's butt.
That sounds just so darn wonderful. That's great. Okay, it's time now to play the dumb birthday. It is a secret, Bill, and as you know, what I do hello. What I do is to tell you the names of people born. What we'll do is there aren't too many birthdays today, October 11. Although today is the birthday of one of my great heroines. Eleanor Roosevelt was born on October 11. I think she was one of the great ladies of history.
But aside from Eleanor Roosevelt and maybe a couple of other people, not too many people born in the state. So we'll pick birthdays from throughout the entire week.
That should be interesting. We'll start with you, John. And I'll ask you, Daryl Hall of the team of what's the phone? Oats. Hall and oats. Okay. How old is Darryl Hall of hall and Oats today? Big, John.
[00:07:33] Speaker C: 39.
[00:07:36] Speaker B: Are you sure it's 39?
I'll mark that down. 39. I was mentioning yesterday when we brought up Jack Benny, you see that HBO has had a special and I think it's going to be repeated about four or five times this month. If you have HBO, by all means, watch it. Some of the stuff the stuff is absolutely great. He does a skit we'll get back to the game in a second. But he does a skit where he is the father and the Jack Benny is played by Johnny Carson, who's always done kind of a Jack Benny anyway.
And at one point, Johnny Carson is going off to school or something or going off to work. I have to leave now because I have to go up living. And he's doing Jack Benny. And there's Jack Benny there saying jack Benny says it doesn't matter how much money you make as long as you're happy. And Johnny Carson does that take? You know, he stares at him like, what did this man say, anyway? You have to watch it. But it's a very funny hour.
If you get a chance, shut up and get on. Well, I hope. Let's go to New Hampshire.
And Howard, how old would you say Darryl Hall is?
[00:09:02] Speaker C: Well, I have an idea who he is. I was going to say 39 to get you to go into the routine, but somebody beat me to it, so I'll say 41.
[00:09:13] Speaker B: 41.
And Bertha, what do you think?
[00:09:18] Speaker D: 42.
[00:09:19] Speaker B: 42, you'll say? And Bonnie, what do you think?
[00:09:23] Speaker D: How about 44?
[00:09:24] Speaker B: How about 44? We'll mark that down. And Charity?
[00:09:28] Speaker E: I would say 43.
[00:09:31] Speaker B: 43. What do you think, Tony? How old is Darryl Hall today? 40. 40. And what do you say, Bill?
[00:09:39] Speaker C: 42.
[00:09:40] Speaker B: Bill? 42. 42. Where were you? You were talking.
I was watching Hawaii. 50.
Were you really doing that? No, I wasn't.
I just had it potted down because I heard some background noise. Okay. I wouldn't mind if you're watching some infomercial oh, yes. With that guy is his name Levy? Who does all this crappy junk stuff? Yeah, Mike Levy. Oh, that's let's set fire to the engine to the hood here and see how nice and smooth that comes out. WiFi is on.
He's watching it. Then he's not fooling us. Okay. The actual age of Darryl Hall today is 44 years old, which is what Bonnie said. She hit it right on the button. And a lot of you were very close to that.
[00:10:26] Speaker C: They all followed my lead.
[00:10:29] Speaker B: That's right. You said 39, but Bonnie hit it right on the button. Okay. Roy Scheider, the actor who is in Jaws. That's right. He's Thunder. Blue Thunder. He was also a dancer in something, wasn't he? In one of the musical movies? All that jazz or something? Yeah, all that jazz, that's right. That was Roy Scheider. Let's start with you, Bill. How old you know is Roy Scheider today? Let's say 59. 59. Okay. And Tony?
58. 58. 58. Okay. And what do you say, Charity? And whatever you say, hope you say it softly and let it linger for a while.
[00:11:14] Speaker E: I would have to say 57.
[00:11:19] Speaker B: 57 lingered. Just that was nice. That really kind of dropped it in there. Really nice. That was nice. My heart's a flutter. Yeah. And Bonnie, what do you say?
[00:11:30] Speaker D: I'm going to say 60.
[00:11:32] Speaker B: 60.
Bonnie sounds pretty good, too. Yeah, she does. And so does Bertha. Bertha, what do you say? How old is Roy Scheider today?
[00:11:41] Speaker D: I don't even know who he is.
[00:11:43] Speaker B: Roy Schider. You don't know who Roy Scheider is today?
[00:11:46] Speaker C: The sheriff.
[00:11:49] Speaker B: That's right. He was the sheriff, yeah. Of this Cape Cod community or the police chief? I think not the sheriff, but the police chief.
[00:11:56] Speaker D: I'll take 58.
[00:11:57] Speaker B: 58. Without even knowing who he is. Okay. And Howard, what do you say?
[00:12:02] Speaker C: I'll say 56.
[00:12:04] Speaker B: 56. Used to be a joke about that. Guy goes in and says, I wonder if I could have a drink.
I guess they were telling a guy this grasshopper that they'd named a drink after him. You know, grasshopper? They'd named a drink after you? And he said they named a drink howard.
[00:12:30] Speaker C: That is one of the worst.
[00:12:32] Speaker B: Jokes I ever told, John. Well, I don't know.
[00:12:37] Speaker C: That's bad, even for you.
[00:12:38] Speaker B: That's even for me.
John, what do you say? How old is Roy Schider today?
[00:12:44] Speaker C: I'm going to say 60. Also.
[00:12:46] Speaker B: 60 also, okay, the actual age of Roy Scheider is exactly what Charity said, 57 years old. He's 57 today.
[00:12:56] Speaker D: How about that?
[00:12:59] Speaker B: Okay, let's move to October twelveTH, which is Monday, Columbus Day, of course. And that's the birthday of Virgino Pavarotti.
And we'll ask you, anybody get nauseous with that? Okay, Luciano Pavarotti, great singer. Let's start with you, Bonnie. How old do you think Pavarotti will be Monday?
[00:13:23] Speaker D: Well, I think that the fours were lucky for me before, so I'm going to say 54 this time.
[00:13:28] Speaker B: 54, okay.
And Howard, what do you say?
[00:13:33] Speaker C: I'll say 52.
[00:13:37] Speaker B: 52. Did you know they named it no, never mind.
Tony, what do you say?
A Rotund. 55. A Rotund. I'll mark that down enough spaces for a well rounded 55. I'll just put fat.
Okay. And Bill, what do you say? How old is Fat Luciano? Pavarotti? Big fat blobby guy. Luciano, fat Louis. Pavarotti, I believe.
I'd say he's 51. 51 fat pounds. Okay.
And Bertha, what do you say?
Could you come a little closer to the phone just so we could hear you?
[00:14:20] Speaker D: 57.
[00:14:21] Speaker B: 57. Okay.
And what do you say, Charity?
[00:14:25] Speaker E: A lingering 53.
[00:14:28] Speaker B: A lingering 53. Anybody else said that nobody would laugh, but somehow you've got us all in the palm of your little beautiful hand. God.
The only thing that stands on our way is your boyfriend, who's probably zilch.
Get rid of him. He's trouble. He's a troublemaker.
John, what do you think? How old will the Pavarotti be?
[00:14:54] Speaker C: I'm going to linger with Charity on this one.
[00:15:01] Speaker B: You were going to say the same. She said.
[00:15:03] Speaker C: Oh, yes. 53.
[00:15:04] Speaker B: 53, I see. Okay.
This is so beautiful for me, an older person to sit here and watch love just bloom all over the place. Love bloom.
[00:15:16] Speaker C: Love and bloom.
[00:15:18] Speaker B: Can it be the trees, the breeze that fills the trees with rare you know, the lyrics to that song are really stupid.
Love and Bloom on Broadway.
Oh, no, it isn't the breeze. You know what it is?
You see, love and bloom you still didn't do it. Didn't do what? Love and Bloom on Broadway. Eleven. Bloom on Broadway. There it is, Broadway. Okay, the actual way, the third time I asked you, it really lost its luster.
It really was kind of luster. It may have had it was gone.
[00:15:57] Speaker C: Have to rub some more of that gold bomb there.
[00:16:00] Speaker B: Yeah, the gold bomb. Luciana Pavarotti will be 57 years of age. Am I the closest that's bertha said 57.
[00:16:09] Speaker C: Right on the button.
[00:16:11] Speaker B: Tony said 55, which was good. Which would have been the second closest. Get half a point. No, you get nothing. You get nothing but sand thrown in your face. Bertha said 57. We have a lot of well, we have three winners.
Bonnie. That's right. Bonnie, Charity and Bertha all have one apiece. And they're all our lovely women.
And let's welcome them now as they wander on stage.
Okay, Tuesday, the October 3. No, it's not the 13th. That's a special day for me. That's a special Tuesday.
[00:16:52] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:16:52] Speaker B: That's your anniversary. That's right. Oh, happy anniversary. That's right, dude. Son of a gun. You and the very lovely Heidi I'm sorry.
Celebrating their first wedding anniversary. Isn't that nice?
[00:17:07] Speaker C: Has it been a year so soon?
[00:17:09] Speaker B: October. Yeah. They were married on Friday the 13th, which comes on a Tuesday this month, which is very ominous. Anyway, it's also the birthday of Art Garfunkel.
Art Garfunkel has a birthday, of course, of the team of Simon and Garfunkel.
Didn't know that, did it? Was some other garfunkel. That's right. A lot of people think it's that.
Anyway, let's start with you, Howard. How old would you say our Garfunker will be on.
[00:17:51] Speaker C: Age?
[00:17:51] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:17:52] Speaker C: 51.
[00:17:53] Speaker B: 51 says Howard and Tony, what do you say? Always pushing 53 easily. 53 easily. Okay. And Bonnie?
[00:18:06] Speaker D: I think he's more in my decade. I think he's about 48.
[00:18:11] Speaker B: Okay. You like the way she said that her decade. So we have 40 all the way up to 49. That's right. We don't know where she is.
[00:18:21] Speaker D: Very bottom range.
[00:18:25] Speaker B: Something like that. That is just a darn lovely and charity who's in the well, you'd be in the 20s decade. Is that right?
[00:18:32] Speaker E: Right.
[00:18:33] Speaker B: Okay. How old would you say our Garfunkel will be this coming week?
[00:18:37] Speaker E: Let's try 49.
[00:18:39] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Let's try it. I wouldn't have even wanted to try if Tony had said, let's try 49. I would have been totally opposed to the idea.
But you make it sound just so damn nice.
[00:18:55] Speaker C: And I was 20 years off of it. I had to perk my ears up. I wasn't quite sure.
[00:19:01] Speaker B: That's what I thought. And what do you say, John? How old do you think Garfunkel will be? Who?
[00:19:11] Speaker C: I'm going to give him the benefit of doubt and say 48 also.
[00:19:16] Speaker B: What do you mean, the benefit of the doubt? Not sure. I don't know.
[00:19:20] Speaker C: Well, it's hard to tell how old he is with that hairdo.
[00:19:24] Speaker B: He's had that hair life. What hair? Yeah, exactly.
And Bertha, what do you say?
[00:19:33] Speaker D: 51.
[00:19:34] Speaker B: 51 says Bertha. Same as what Howard said.
[00:19:37] Speaker D: Yeah, Howard.
[00:19:38] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:19:38] Speaker D: He's pretty good at Howard.
[00:19:40] Speaker B: Howard is pretty good, but when you're in love, it doesn't really matter.
Bill, what do you say? I say he is 53.
You wonder. Now, we've just been spreading the word love, and we've been getting kind of excited here. Do you think we'll respect ourselves in the morning when the sun comes up?
Right now? Well, never mind. Anyway, I'd garfunkel on Tuesday the 13th, the date of Mr. And Mrs. Tony and Heidi Nesbitt. Their anniversary. That sounds old.
Except when you said first anniversary to them. That's right. A very happy anniversary to them. Garfunkel would be 50. Let me see. So we have a charity said 49.
[00:20:35] Speaker C: Looks like Howard and Bertha are getting together there.
[00:20:37] Speaker B: Well, Bertha and Howard. That said 51. So they're close on the other side. So they are the three winners. That hair fooled me, too, Bill. Oh, well, okay. Bertha has got two correct answers, and so does charity.
Bonnie has one and Howard has one. Now. Oh, boy, that Howard. He's good. He's something. You know, they named a grasshopper after him.
[00:21:04] Speaker D: Now, this is Bertha. Did you hear about how they made the format for the presidential.
[00:21:12] Speaker B: Debate? Do you talk about the debate?
[00:21:15] Speaker D: They have Mr. Bush, and then they have Clinton, and then they have Peral. Now, Peralt is going to look awfully short, so they were thinking of putting the box so we can step on the box. Wouldn't it be funny if they put him on Clinton's lap and then Quail can talk about her father like little Kelly Mcdathe?
[00:21:40] Speaker B: Hold on. Wait a no, no. Your voice is sort of fading off in the distance, and we couldn't hear you all that clearly. You think we're talking about putting somebody on somebody's lap? Like a ventriloquist dummy?
[00:21:52] Speaker D: That's right. Then quill have go after.
[00:21:57] Speaker B: Quail. Where's Quail? Come into this.
[00:21:59] Speaker D: Well, Quail, because he was against that television.
[00:22:05] Speaker B: Yeah, but Quail won't be debating. He'll be debating on the next one. You're talking about the vice presidential debate.
[00:22:10] Speaker D: Yeah, but he has something to talk about.
[00:22:13] Speaker B: I see. Hold on. Wait a minute. I'm trying to figure this out. You said parole would be on Clinton's lap, and then you brought in Quail. I lost you.
Come on, Tony. Don't you have a sense of humor? Tony, does that have to be spelled out even more clearly for you? Wait a minute. It's cerebral torment. It's one of those riddles you have to understand a joke in order to laugh at it. No kind of a personality inside where it counts.
[00:22:43] Speaker D: Okay, maybe I have a perverse sense of humor.
[00:22:46] Speaker B: Yes, you do. You have a terribly perverse sense of humor. We wish you'd keep it to yourself.
Okay, Thursday. We have a couple of interesting birthdays on Thursday, which is October 15. Jack Hart. Is he down there? Is that his birthday? 15th? Yeah. Son of a gun. So October 13 is you and Heidi. And what a week this is going to be. I know, Ho. We'll be partying every night. I could have everyone else guess if we need an extra birthday. Okay, well, we don't, actually, but thanks just the same.
Okay. Penny Marshall is Laverne of Laverne and Shirley and also the director of League of Their Own. Their Own? The movie. Big Penny Marshall, married to Rob Reiner at one point.
And another point, she was not married to him. So it depends on what point you're looking at her. Two points. Two points before she was and after. Okay, we're going to start with you, Tony. How old do you think Penny Marshall will be? Penny Marshall on October years old says Tony. Okay, and what do you say, Bertha?
[00:23:55] Speaker D: 46.
[00:23:56] Speaker B: 46.
Okay. And what is no, never mind. And John, what do you think.
[00:24:05] Speaker C: She'S going to be? 47.
[00:24:08] Speaker B: 47.
What do you say, bill Wilson? A talented 48. A talented 40. Same as Tony said. I like the confidence, and I feel better about that guess now.
All right. And Bonnie, what do you think now?
[00:24:22] Speaker E: She went to high school with my sister.
[00:24:24] Speaker B: Did she really?
[00:24:25] Speaker D: Yeah, and she was up in my house a few times.
[00:24:28] Speaker B: No kidding.
Where did your sister go to school?
[00:24:32] Speaker D: We lived in the Bronx.
[00:24:34] Speaker B: No kidding.
[00:24:36] Speaker D: So I'm thinking how old my sister is. My sister is going to be 48. So tenny is either going to be 48 or 49. I'll stick with 48 also.
[00:24:45] Speaker B: 48 also. Okay.
Is she a nice person? Did you like?
[00:24:49] Speaker D: I don't remember. My sister's a lot older than I am.
A lot older.
[00:24:55] Speaker B: Didn't you say you were in the early decades?
[00:24:58] Speaker D: Well, I was a little kid.
[00:25:00] Speaker B: Oh, that's right, too. That's right. Seven, eight years.
That's a big difference. Big difference. Her sister probably beat her up over.
[00:25:07] Speaker D: Absolutely.
[00:25:09] Speaker B: Okay. And Charity, what do you say, let's try 49 again. 49 again? Sure. Okay. And Howard, what do you say?
[00:25:18] Speaker C: I'll say 49.
[00:25:19] Speaker B: 49 also.
He's sweet on charity. Charity said an answer before I did. I would have guessed whatever she said. Yeah, well, actually, Charity actually came the closest Penny Marshall will be 50.
[00:25:35] Speaker D: She must have gotten left back.
[00:25:37] Speaker B: What's that?
[00:25:38] Speaker D: She must have gotten left back if.
[00:25:41] Speaker B: She went to school.
[00:25:42] Speaker D: That's right.
[00:25:43] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:25:43] Speaker C: So I get a point as well.
[00:25:45] Speaker B: Howard and Charity both win that one round. And so let's see what we have now. We have two for Howard and we have oh, Charity has not. If you win, Charity, I must tell you, because normally we give out very kind of worthless gifts, but in this case in this case, I'm going to steal something. Really?
I'm going to steal something out of an expensive jewelry store.
Would you like anything from FAO Schwartz? Would you like a giant stuffed panda? Anything at all? You just tell me, sweetheart, okay? Anything you want. Maybe a little silver something. A little silver something. Yeah, that's right.
[00:26:30] Speaker C: It'll be gold something. I know.
[00:26:32] Speaker B: Okay. Bertha has two, so she's doing okay. So does Howard. I have two. That Howard, he's I'm telling you. Oh, you can't stop. And Bonie has one. Tony, Bill and John, you're a bunch of losers. I'm so ashamed. I would think so.
I just hope that Mr. Traffic, your boss is not listening. Now, Mr. Traffic, linda Lavin's, also linda Lavin, does it have an S on the end of it? No, just playing. Linda Lavin. She has a birthday Thursday, October 15. Also and let's see if you can guess her age. Let's start with you, John. How old will Linda Lavin be?
[00:27:16] Speaker C: 56.
[00:27:17] Speaker B: 56. What do you say, Howard?
[00:27:19] Speaker C: I'll say 53. And Bertha, that's lady from Alice?
[00:27:26] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right.
Bertha?
[00:27:30] Speaker D: 55.
[00:27:30] Speaker B: 55, okay. And Bonnie?
[00:27:34] Speaker D: I'll say 53.
[00:27:37] Speaker B: Okay.
Charity?
[00:27:40] Speaker D: 54.
[00:27:41] Speaker B: 54.
And Tony? 54.
You don't want to think about it for a little bit, do you?
To I had a different age, but I said, forget it. Whatever charity says, okay?
[00:27:55] Speaker C: We'll think about it when he gets home.
[00:28:00] Speaker B: That sounded like that sounded like a threat, didn't it?
[00:28:04] Speaker C: My wife is probably listening.
[00:28:08] Speaker B: You think she listened to the program? She'd get better taste than that.
Bill, what do you say? She's a cheap stingy. 59. A cheap stingy slutty. 50. Wait a minute. Who are you talking about? Linda ladder. Oh, all right. I talked about my wife for a second.
She was staying at a hotel I was working at in San Diego, that I worked room service. And she didn'tip me.
Oh, really, though? Linda Lavin, she ordered a bottle of wine and the Fisherman Platter, and I didn't bring lemon up with it, so I didn't get a tip. Is that the reason? Did she tell you that? Yeah, that's it. She said there's no lemon here, you have no tip. She asked for the lemon, I went back down, got the lemon. By the time I brought it back up again, the fish was cold, so I had to go get her another plate, really and so on and so forth, and yeah, and I ended up getting stiffed after the whole deal was over.
[00:29:08] Speaker C: Let's make her 70 something.
[00:29:10] Speaker B: Yeah, so I got her about it. Norm, how old is she today? 85. Okay.
Actually, Linda Lavin will be on October 15. Will be 53.
Bonnie and Howard both said 53.
Thanks, Jared. I think we have a three way tie here. Three way. Let me see.
Add it all up and you get the secret. Yeah, that's right.
[00:29:35] Speaker C: If he could count as well as he reads.
[00:29:39] Speaker B: Copy.
Nobody ever said I ever made the claim I could read. That's why I do a talk show like this.
[00:29:45] Speaker C: You can read, you just can't count.
[00:29:49] Speaker B: Howard has three and O'charity has three, holding a three and Bonnie has two and Bertha has two.
[00:30:01] Speaker C: That's enough. Uncle north.
[00:30:02] Speaker B: I think that's about it. Tony, Bill and John. None of you have anything? 53 was my original answer.
Okay, we'll have to break this time. What about Friday? October 16 is the birthday of Susan Summer? Who is it? Susan? Suzanne. Suzanne Summers. Summers. Suzanne Summers.
You're right, I can't read. I can't read. I'm thinking about her thigh thing.
Just squeeze, squeeze, squeeze with that away. Oh, stop it. You're driving me crazy, Bill. Just stop it. Okay?
[00:30:40] Speaker C: I wonder if she uses that go bomb there.
[00:30:44] Speaker B: You're never going to stop with that, John, are you?
[00:30:46] Speaker C: What show was on?
[00:30:48] Speaker B: I know. She drinks company and she's on another show now. She's on a situation comedy now?
Yes, she did. Where? She is apparently an abused trial and what? Her father was an alcoholic?
Was she an abused child also or not?
[00:31:05] Speaker D: No, just her father was an alcoholic.
[00:31:07] Speaker B: Just of the daughter of an alcoholic? That's right. He was so drunk he couldn't abuse her or anything.
I'm not sorry, I don't mean to make light of that, because that's not a pretty situation.
[00:31:16] Speaker D: No, it isn't.
[00:31:17] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay, let's start with you, Bill. How old do you think Suzanne Summers will be on October 16, next Friday? I think she's a lot older than she looks. I think she'll probably be 49. 49, okay. What do you say, Tony? You want the charity to go first, then you go after that? Yeah, could you? Okay. Charity, what do you think?
[00:31:40] Speaker E: Oh, my gosh, that's not fair.
[00:31:42] Speaker D: Now.
I'll say 51.
[00:31:45] Speaker B: 51. And then what will you say, Tony?
No, she's 48. 48.
There goes that romance.
She tempted me with the charms on 54. I said I was wrong. You think I was going to be tempted a second time? You're right, but I had to fight it.
Okay. Bonnie, what do you think?
[00:32:13] Speaker D: I think she's 48.
[00:32:15] Speaker B: 48. You got a cute little voice, too. They are okay, I was talking to Howard.
I'm sorry.
[00:32:27] Speaker C: I have to get voice for me. Not me.
[00:32:32] Speaker B: Bertha, what do you say?
[00:32:34] Speaker D: I read her book. She's 46.
[00:32:36] Speaker B: You read her book? She's 46. That doesn't even rhyme, for God's sake. I read her bix. She's 46. Something like that.
I read her book, she's 40 soup or something.
What the hell am I talking about?
[00:32:54] Speaker D: Okay, the age is not be a poet.
Wow.
[00:33:03] Speaker B: I don't see that in my script at all.
I have to edit that out later on. Yeah, that's right. Howard, what do you say?
[00:33:12] Speaker C: Well, I'll have to say 47.
[00:33:14] Speaker B: He does have a cute voice, doesn't he? Yeah, he really does. Yeah.
John, what do you think?
[00:33:19] Speaker C: I'm going to try 48. Who asked you?
[00:33:24] Speaker B: Okay, the actual age of Suzanne Summers is 48. Mama needs a new parachute. No, she's actually 46. And Bertha said she read the book and thus she knew the answer. And so we have a three way tie of three and we have six minutes left. That's right. We got to go off the yard a few minutes.
How about Jack Hart? I know that one. So I'm out of the running completely. Okay. How about Angela? One of you just said something.
One of you ladies.
[00:33:56] Speaker E: I said my birthday is on the 20.
[00:33:57] Speaker D: Eigth.
[00:33:58] Speaker E: Does that give me an edge?
[00:33:59] Speaker B: Yes, it does.
Anything you want. It's okay. Angela Lansbury has a birthday october 16. Also Friday the 16th. It's a mystery to me. Yeah, that's right.
Wow. Okay, let's start with you, Bertha. What do you think? How old will Angela Lansbury be?
I'm sorry? 67. Right.
And she has ten years on you. That means you're 77, right? No kidding. You are good with numbers. You are. I am very good with numbers. But you sound younger than that. Charity, what. Do you think?
[00:34:46] Speaker E: I'll say 62.
[00:34:48] Speaker B: Okay. Could you do that?
Okay. That's very nice. Okay. And Bill, what do you say? She's a pain relieving without all that stomach upset. 68 years old and she doesn't contain any aspirin, either.
John, what do you say?
Did my voice break then? Yes, it did. About four pieces.
I've kicked it around for a lot of years. I wondered why it held up as long as it did.
John?
[00:35:28] Speaker C: Well, I think she's been married 50 years, so I'm going to have to give her a 70.
[00:35:36] Speaker B: 70 we call her. Okay.
And let's see. Howard?
[00:35:41] Speaker C: I think I'll go along with 71.
[00:35:45] Speaker B: 71.
[00:35:47] Speaker C: She was making movies back in the early 50s.
[00:35:51] Speaker B: She has been around for a while. Yes, that's true.
[00:35:54] Speaker D: Very talented. She can sing and dance and everything.
[00:35:57] Speaker B: That's right.
[00:35:58] Speaker C: One of her first movies was The Picture of Dorian Gray, I believe.
[00:36:03] Speaker B: She was also on stage in a thing called The Mad Woman of Shio, which I remember seeing here in Boston on stage. Bonnie, what do you think?
[00:36:11] Speaker E: I think she's 65.
[00:36:13] Speaker B: 65, okay. And, Tony, what's the name of her TV show? Murder. She rose. Murder. She rose. That has Tom Bosley, who does the terrible New England accent. That's right. You've commented on that. He left, though, to become Father darling. That's right. He's been off the show that long. Oh, yeah, because you still see him on a ton of reruns with that same awful accent. Anyway, how old do you think she is? She's 69. 69. And that's all she wrote. Okay. The actual age is 67, and Bertha said 67. So I believe that Bertha is the winner. Let's see now. Let's tally this. Bertha has four correct answers.
Charity has three, and Howard has three, and let's see. And I think that's about it. Bonnie, you're not good with numbers.
Bonnie has one correct answer.
[00:37:22] Speaker D: I have two correct answers, Bonnie.
[00:37:25] Speaker B: Yes. I'm sorry. You do?
I guess I just did prove the point. Bill, Tony and John, your numbers were easy to add up because they come down to zero, and I appreciate so I really wasn't paying attention.
So, actually, the winner is bertha, if you will hold on. Bertha won last month. Did you win last month?
[00:37:55] Speaker D: Oh, yes. You sent me a beautiful book.
[00:37:58] Speaker B: Oh, thank you.
[00:37:59] Speaker D: And I love your pens. I'll never send your feet back.
[00:38:03] Speaker B: Okay, that's very good. That's part of the note along with it. Okay, hold on and we'll turn you over to Tony just a minute. So we can get the information.
Just for the heck of it. We'll send something to Charity, too.
You want Charity to hold on so you can get her a name and address. Also, hey, John, always nice to talk with you out there in Amherst.
[00:38:24] Speaker C: Thank you, Uncle Norm.
[00:38:26] Speaker B: Okay. And also good to talk with you, Howard. Thanks, Amelia.
[00:38:29] Speaker C: Yeah, Norm, if you tape the Jack Benny special and you want to send me a copy? I'd love to see it.
[00:38:37] Speaker B: I haven't taped it yet, but I will. Send me a note with your name and address. I'll see if I can tape it, and I'll send it to you.
[00:38:43] Speaker C: I certainly will.
[00:38:44] Speaker B: Okay. And thanks for playing the game with us. And let's see, bertha, we'll hold on to you because you're the winner, and we want you, too. Thank you, Bonnie. Hey, thanks a million.
[00:38:56] Speaker D: Well, Norm. Thank you. And I just wanted to let you know there's a kid's book that's written about the three little pigs, and it's written from the wolf's point of view. He was framed.
[00:39:08] Speaker B: Oh, that's funny. That's great. Hey, thanks a lot. Okay, take care. Hope to talk to you soon. And you, too, Charity. You're okay in my book.
[00:39:17] Speaker E: Thank you very much.
[00:39:18] Speaker B: Okay, thanks for calling. I hope we'll talk to you again soon.
[00:39:21] Speaker E: You will.
[00:39:21] Speaker B: Okay, good bye bye now, and thank you. Bill, we'll hear your report in about ten minutes. Yes, sir. Okay.
And of course, also Tony and all of that. It's time to say goodbye. As a matter of fact, we got to sign off now on behalf of Tony Nesbitt, the entire crew, the lovely Marilyn Garlic, myself, the almost good looking Norm Nathan person. See you tonight, or hope to talk to you tonight. Eleven. It should be a fascinating program. Please tune us in. W, Canada. Nady Santa Swaso. And I Norm Nathan WBZ Boston.
[00:39:56] Speaker A: Another one out of the vault and onto the Internet forever. Everyone was in such good spirits. This was a fun one for sure. We will continue the fun next week, closing the Vault and leaving this world a little sillier than we found it for Jack Benny cameos, especially when they come with the story. Snow White living in sin jack the Giant Murderer goldilocks that freeloader jack and Jill fetching more than just a pail of water yiddish Interjections barry and Elliot Jordan's furniture the Motion Odyssey movie ride lasers sofas with a secret beautiful ladies with great voices. Hawaii 50, Mike Levy infomercials. Howard the grasshopper wellrounded rotund. Fat guys lingering the breeze that fills the trees, losing its luster. Abbot and Garfunkel trying 49 giving the best of the doubt. Starter marriages, perverse senses of humor. FAO Schwartz, Mr. Traffic. Bill Buchanan. Ernie Santa Suaso squeezing the fat away with the thighmaster the cheated tipless bill Wilson and Norm not good with numbers nathan I'm Tony Nesbitt.
