[00:01:09] Speaker C: I know I have laratitis.
[00:01:11] Speaker B: Oh, do you?
[00:01:11] Speaker C: No, I'd never do that.
[00:01:13] Speaker B: Your voice is not normally this way.
[00:01:15] Speaker C: No, not normally.
[00:01:16] Speaker B: I see. Have you played the dumb birthday game with us before?
[00:01:18] Speaker C: No, I just along with you, silently, by myself.
[00:01:22] Speaker B: Okay. You understand how the game goes, then?
[00:01:24] Speaker C: Yes, I do. I think I do.
[00:01:26] Speaker B: Okay.
I just tell you who's born on the state, and you tell me their age. The rules are really quite simple.
[00:01:32] Speaker C: I did quite well last week.
[00:01:33] Speaker B: Pardon me?
[00:01:34] Speaker C: I did play well last week.
[00:01:36] Speaker B: You did play well last week.
[00:01:37] Speaker C: Yes, by myself.
[00:01:39] Speaker B: Oh. Oh, I see. I see. We have Helen in Boston. You did make the game.
[00:01:44] Speaker C: I made it, Norm. I'm going to walk away with the prizes.
[00:01:47] Speaker B: You obviously paid off Emilio. And there you go. You understand that the prizes you win are really, totally useless.
[00:01:54] Speaker C: Oh, I heard that.
[00:01:55] Speaker B: Worthless, nothing and tacky. Have you got prizes?
[00:01:59] Speaker C: The mailman said, don't do this again. I don't want to carry this junk.
[00:02:03] Speaker B: Yeah, it's really junk. Most of the stuff we give away as prices show up on.
What do they show up in? Flea markets? Usually within. Within a day or so.
[00:02:12] Speaker C: The fleas don't even want them.
[00:02:14] Speaker B: Hey, we don't have to be a wise guy, Helen. I don't need that from you. We have Rosemary and Brock and. Hello, Rosemary.
[00:02:22] Speaker D: Rosemary.
[00:02:23] Speaker B: I'm sorry, Rose Marie.
[00:02:24] Speaker D: As in I didn't even have to pay Emilio and Helen.
[00:02:28] Speaker C: Did.
[00:02:30] Speaker B: You know why? Because you have the kind of voice that probably drives every man crazy.
[00:02:37] Speaker D: I've never played the dumb birthday game, but I had a birthday a couple of weeks ago, so I'm all set to play.
[00:02:42] Speaker B: Oh, well, a very happy birthday to you. Thank you. Okay. We also have.
Oh, we have Rob Floyd, who is our traffic guy, who's playing the game, too. You heard? Reporting on traffic and stuff. Hi, Rob.
[00:02:56] Speaker E: Hi, Norm.
[00:02:57] Speaker B: You're excited about Nora?
[00:03:00] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:03:01] Speaker B: Hi.
[00:03:01] Speaker C: How do you do it? Pleasure to meet you.
[00:03:03] Speaker E: You, too.
[00:03:04] Speaker C: Thank you.
[00:03:05] Speaker B: You think we have a romance, buddy?
[00:03:08] Speaker C: Wouldn't that be hysterical?
[00:03:10] Speaker B: Nora, you sound like you have the phone halfway down your throat.
[00:03:13] Speaker C: No, I don't. Oh, God. What a terrible thing to say. I should be offended.
[00:03:17] Speaker B: No, no, I didn't mean that as any offense. It's just I think that it's very close to you.
[00:03:23] Speaker C: Am I speaking clearly? I mean, can I hear. Can you hear me correctly? Huh? Am I speaking at the right volume?
[00:03:30] Speaker B: No, you're speaking clearly. Okay, maybe if you back away from the phone. Do you have the phone very close to your lips?
[00:03:36] Speaker C: Yes, I do. How about this? Is it better?
[00:03:38] Speaker B: Yeah, just a little bit away from that.
[00:03:40] Speaker C: Okay. No, just. I can take instructions. I'm Catholic.
[00:03:44] Speaker B: I don't. I don't want to comment on that. Don't put me in a position.
Okay. A rhetorical comment. And we have Amido Marata, who has selected all these twelve people. You're going to blame me for that? Yes, I'm going to blame you. If they turn out badly, it's your fault. If they turn out well, then it's your mind. I've encouraged intelligent people to play.
[00:04:08] Speaker F: No, you were asking where the prizes end up, and immediately compost pile came to mind. I don't know why.
[00:04:15] Speaker B: You don't live in the country, do you?
[00:04:17] Speaker F: No, I don't.
[00:04:18] Speaker B: Yeah. See? Cause you don't. Do you know what a compost pile is? Yeah.
[00:04:21] Speaker F: Isn't it just, like, waste in feces and.
[00:04:25] Speaker B: Well, not all kinds of feces. It could be. It could be feces of a. Hold on a minute. I'm a farmer, and I'm explaining. It could be. It could be, like, if it's cow manure or horse manure, that's good, but not people or dog feces.
[00:04:40] Speaker F: No, it's okay.
[00:04:40] Speaker B: And you understand also, it's great stuff because it turns out it turns the soil, makes the soil enriched, and the prizes we give are not even good enough for that. No. You wouldn't throw, like, an old book or something, or a pencil in a manure pile, something like that. These city people. These city people, they just don't know.
[00:05:00] Speaker F: It was figurative, normal. It wasn't literal.
[00:05:02] Speaker B: Oh, I see. Okay. We also have two folks from Harvard and. Harvard and Radcliffe both.
[00:05:10] Speaker E: Right?
[00:05:10] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:05:11] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:05:13] Speaker B: Wow. Is that you, Nora, getting panicked?
[00:05:16] Speaker C: No. Yeah, I'm just commenting. I'll try to keep putting my head.
[00:05:19] Speaker B: Okay.
No, we have Ethan Vogt and Julie Geller, who. You came here to film some stuff, right? Because you're both freshmen. Is it Harvard and Redcliffe? Is it joined? Now, I know that the co ed class is involved.
[00:05:35] Speaker G: It's joined. I guess they're just attached to tradition. So they'd like to say Radcliffe, even though we all know that that doesn't really mean anything.
[00:05:41] Speaker B: Would you be graduating from Radcliffe or Harvard?
[00:05:43] Speaker G: I'll be graduating from Radcliffe, but it really doesn't exist. But that doesn't really concern them as much as tradition does, so.
[00:05:51] Speaker B: I see.
Does that confuse you a little bit, too, Ethan, to. Shall we graduate from a college that doesn't exist?
[00:06:00] Speaker E: Yeah, you know, that doesn't look too good on the resume, too, graduating from places that don't exist.
[00:06:05] Speaker B: I know. You're from Jordy. You're from.
From Denver, Colorado, which is a magnificent state. Lovely state. Wonderful.
[00:06:13] Speaker F: Denver's a city. No.
[00:06:16] Speaker B: What did I say?
[00:06:19] Speaker G: A state of mind. State of mind.
[00:06:21] Speaker B: Okay. No, it's a beautiful area. I just love that. It's the mile high city. I know. And yet there are mountains around it that are even higher than all that. And there's a terrible adjustment that people have to make when they go to some of these places, especially athletes. Didn't they have a. They have Olympics or something out in that area? Some kind of a training center, I think.
[00:06:43] Speaker G: Oh, Colorado Springs, they have an ice skating center.
[00:06:47] Speaker B: Or even when ball clubs, for example, play the Denver teams, do they have a. Do they have trouble adjusting to the. To the air and all that out there? Because it's much thinner.
[00:06:59] Speaker G: We like it, but the visitors aren't quite as happy with.
[00:07:03] Speaker B: Did you have trouble coming to this part of the country where we're lower?
[00:07:06] Speaker G: No.
[00:07:07] Speaker B: No, because you're breathing really nice. I notice your breathing. Your breathing is really great.
[00:07:13] Speaker G: Thank you.
[00:07:14] Speaker B: Okay. And Ethan Vogt, who's at Harvard and who came, who also is. You're from around this area. Belmont. Okay. Okay. Here's that. We're already. Now.
Now we've done all these swell, exciting preliminaries to the dumb birthday game. Today is the birthday of Spike Lee born. His name was Shelton Jackson. Did you know that was his real name? Shelton Jackson became Spike Lee. He was born in Atlanta, Georgia, directed do the right thing school days Malcolm X, among other movies he did Malcolm X in 1992. Appears in many Nike commercials. And we'll start with you, Nora. How old do you think Spike Lee is?
[00:08:00] Speaker C: Oh, Spike Lee. He's in his thirties.
[00:08:03] Speaker B: Why do you make that sound so sexy?
He's in his thirties.
He's right. He's in his ripe stage of eroticism.
[00:08:12] Speaker C: At the age of those.
[00:08:13] Speaker B: 30. Okay, how old exactly do you think?
[00:08:16] Speaker C: Oh, goodness. Spike Lee.
34.
[00:08:21] Speaker B: Okay, 34.
Helen, what do you say, 40?
Foddy. Foddy. You don't talk that way out in Colorado, do you, Julie?
[00:08:33] Speaker G: We sure do.
[00:08:34] Speaker B: Yeah. No, we talk that way here because I don't know that's the proper way to talk.
Rosemary Rosemarie.
[00:08:43] Speaker D: I think Spike Lee is 35.
[00:08:45] Speaker B: 35. Okay, what do you think, Rob?
[00:08:48] Speaker E: I'm gonna say 33.
[00:08:52] Speaker C: The black isn't in here.
[00:08:53] Speaker B: What, does that distress you, that he said 33? Does that ruin your whole life?
[00:08:57] Speaker C: The price is right and somebody just bit a dollar over my.
[00:09:01] Speaker B: You're putting it. You're putting the telephone halfway down your throat again, aren't you? You're gonna get perforation marks on your gum.
[00:09:07] Speaker C: Oh, man.
[00:09:07] Speaker B: Okay, Emilio, what do you say?
[00:09:10] Speaker F: You might find this hard to believe, but I can't think of anything stupid to say about Spike Lee.
[00:09:15] Speaker B: Oh, you'll think of something. You'll think of something to say stupid about anything.
[00:09:20] Speaker F: I know, but it's so difficult tonight. So I'm just gonna say that Spike Lee is 32 years old.
[00:09:26] Speaker B: 32 years old. Okay.
[00:09:28] Speaker E: And Ethan, he's probably just a hair over 30. 31.
[00:09:34] Speaker B: 31. Okay. What do you think, Julie?
[00:09:37] Speaker G: Can I repeat what they've said?
[00:09:38] Speaker B: Oh, sure.
Any number you want is okay, even if it's been given.
[00:09:43] Speaker G: Okay. So I guess I'll do the right thing here and say 33.
[00:09:50] Speaker B: Already. Already sharper than any of you. Deadbeat. Well, see, you'd already mentioned do the.
[00:09:55] Speaker F: Right thing in your clues, Norm, so I didn't want to be repetitive myself.
[00:09:59] Speaker B: He's going to hang on to what you said because he can't think of anything original himself. Okay. Actually, Spike Lee is 37. Wow. So now I got to figure out who came the closest. Helen said 40.
[00:10:11] Speaker C: The woman f try.
[00:10:13] Speaker B: Yeah, well, Helen was. Within three years. She said 40. 40.
[00:10:16] Speaker D: I said 35.
[00:10:18] Speaker B: Yeah, no, I think Helen won that. She was the closest. Oh, I went 35.
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Helen. You're out of it. It's.
[00:10:27] Speaker C: It's.
[00:10:27] Speaker B: No, it's. I'm sorry. It is. Rose. Marisa, at 35, she is the closest that's right. I'm sorry.
[00:10:33] Speaker C: I was right to mom. I was. I knew she had me.
[00:10:37] Speaker B: How old is he?
[00:10:37] Speaker E: 37.
[00:10:38] Speaker B: He's 37. Yes. Yes. Okay. Hal Linden. Hal Linden. I'll tell you about Hal Linden. Born. Did you know he was born Harold Lipschitz?
It's kind of funny, because I used to make jokes about a guy, a kid I was. I grew up with in everett named Walter Lipshitz. People thought I made up that name, and I didn't. That was rude. His name and what hell that kid went through.
But I didn't realize that Hal Linden's name was Hal Liveschitz.
[00:11:09] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:11:09] Speaker B: Isn't that a curse? Hal Lipshitz?
[00:11:13] Speaker G: Well, he changed it. Yeah, exactly.
[00:11:15] Speaker B: No.
[00:11:15] Speaker F: Is the sec gonna come down on.
[00:11:17] Speaker B: You for saying that that's his name?
I know it sounds so.
[00:11:21] Speaker F: But you keep emphasizing it. So you're relishing the fact that I do.
[00:11:25] Speaker B: I am. They could probably say that. Say it casually, and they'll make a big production.
[00:11:30] Speaker E: Is he Barney Miller?
[00:11:31] Speaker B: Yes, he was Barney Miller. He was captain on Barney Miller. Captain Barney Miller of the 12th precinct from 1975 to 1982. I thought that was an awfully good show. I really liked that. And he's. It says he stars in tv's Jack's place. I don't know that one at all.
[00:11:48] Speaker C: It was very short. Last.
[00:11:49] Speaker F: Yeah, that was recent. That was like last year.
[00:11:51] Speaker B: Oh, he's not. Oh, that didn't. That didn't last then.
[00:11:54] Speaker C: No.
[00:11:55] Speaker B: Okay, we'll start with you, Julie. How old do you think? Hal Linden? He's a great song and dance guy. He's been a Broadway and the whole thing.
Yeah.
[00:12:04] Speaker C: Hal.
[00:12:04] Speaker G: Well, he's got to be about 62.
[00:12:07] Speaker B: 62. Okay. Ethan, what do you think?
[00:12:11] Speaker G: 66.
[00:12:12] Speaker B: 66. Yep. Okay. Emilio?
[00:12:15] Speaker F: I don't want him to be a prisoner of his age, Norm, but.
[00:12:18] Speaker B: Oh, jeez, this is so sick. And, see, I bounce right back.
[00:12:23] Speaker F: I'm gonna say that Hal lipshits is.
[00:12:27] Speaker B: Will you just name a number, for God's sake?
Rob, what do you say?
[00:12:32] Speaker E: 59.
[00:12:34] Speaker B: 59, okay. And Rosemary. Rosemary Rosemarie. I'm sorry. Rosemary, I love you. I praise the Lord above you.
[00:12:44] Speaker D: Let's say he's 61.
[00:12:46] Speaker B: 61. Okay. Helen?
[00:12:49] Speaker C: 65.
[00:12:50] Speaker B: 65. And what do you think, Nora?
[00:12:52] Speaker C: Oh, he's 63.
He's born at 31. Okay.
[00:12:58] Speaker B: Actually, you said 63. Yes, that's right. You and Emilio both said 60, and you're both correct.
[00:13:04] Speaker C: Thank you, Emilio.
[00:13:06] Speaker F: Thank you, Nora.
[00:13:07] Speaker B: That's all.
[00:13:09] Speaker D: Someone else's day too.
[00:13:10] Speaker B: What's that?
[00:13:11] Speaker D: Please. Two people can pick the same.
[00:13:13] Speaker B: Oh, sure. Yeah, you can.
[00:13:15] Speaker D: Oh, okay. How old was hell?
[00:13:17] Speaker B: Pardon me?
[00:13:18] Speaker C: 63.
[00:13:19] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. No, I think I'm losing control here.
[00:13:26] Speaker C: I apologize right away.
[00:13:27] Speaker B: Yeah, Nora. No, no, Nora. And, I mean, you both said 63, so they were both correct. And yes, you can. You can't predict the same age. Somebody else did.
Carl Reiner has a birthday on March 20. Also, Kyle Ryan, who's a very talented guy. He was on the old, your show of shows. And. And anyway, it's a mad, mad world. The Russians are coming. The Russians are coming, which is, I thought, one of my favorite movies, sibling rivalry. He recorded the lp the 2000 year old man with Mel Brooks. Have you, any of you heard that at all? The 2000 year old man did this sequel after he and Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks, one of the very funny records. Remember that one?
[00:14:10] Speaker E: I think I do.
[00:14:11] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:14:11] Speaker B: We have a couple of guys in town, a guy named Ernie Santosuaso, who used to be the music editor of the Boston Globe, and Freddie Taylor, who booked a lot of people and owned some jazz clubs in town. They used to get together and they could do the whole album, kind of very funny stuff where this 2000 year old man would, played by Mel Brooks, would narrate history according to what he saw. He was being interviewed by Carl Ryan. Anyway, if you can get the album, it's one of the really funniest albums ever.
[00:14:44] Speaker F: Did Mel do his jewish stick there? His voice was up there, a little.
[00:14:48] Speaker B: Bit of jewish stick, parts of it, yes. Well, when he talked about the era of Christ and all that kind of how the cross came into effect, and he talked about, he has, he says, you know what I got through the years? I got 4222 children and on Father's Day, not one of them calls. It's that kind of a, I think.
[00:15:10] Speaker C: That'S what Billy Crystal got the idea for his, his character that he played the elderly.
[00:15:16] Speaker F: Nor your heating on.
[00:15:17] Speaker C: Harry Mathali, the other man, the character he played on Saturday Night Live. You know, the elderly, jewish.
[00:15:24] Speaker B: Well, he did an elderly person also in the, in a movie. What was that called? A movie? Oh, the comics.
[00:15:30] Speaker E: The Princess Bride.
[00:15:31] Speaker B: Yeah. What's that? Princess.
[00:15:33] Speaker G: He looked at me like I'm crazy.
[00:15:34] Speaker B: No, no, no, no, no, no, not that one. He was a. Billy Crystal was a nightclub comedy. Saturday night, mister. Saturday night. That's right. Yeah.
What's that?
[00:15:45] Speaker D: I didn't like that movie at all.
[00:15:47] Speaker B: I didn't, I didn't hate it, but I didn't think it was a great movie either.
[00:15:50] Speaker C: No, I couldn't afford to go see it.
[00:15:53] Speaker B: Okay, let's start with anyway. Carl Reiner. Hey, Rosemarie.
[00:15:58] Speaker D: Okay, let me see.
[00:15:59] Speaker C: Car.
[00:16:00] Speaker D: Reiner has to be, uh, 67.
[00:16:05] Speaker B: 67, okay. And of course, he's the father of Rob Reiner.
[00:16:08] Speaker D: You know, that's going to be in his body. So, you know, that's how I think it's 67. Okay.
[00:16:15] Speaker B: And Ethan, what do you think? Maybe.
[00:16:18] Speaker E: Maybe a little older? 73.
[00:16:22] Speaker B: 73.
Okay.
Rob, what do you say?
[00:16:28] Speaker E: I was gonna say 67.
I think I'm gonna change it to 70.
[00:16:37] Speaker B: 70? Yeah. Okay. And I wonder if you could breathe heavily into the phone and tell us.
[00:16:42] Speaker C: Nora, what you think just because they're picking on you. Please don't pick on me. No, I'm teasing you. I'd say 72 is the same age as my father.
[00:16:51] Speaker B: 73.
[00:16:52] Speaker C: 70. 72.
[00:16:54] Speaker B: Well, you said 72.
[00:16:55] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:16:56] Speaker B: And your father? 72, I believe so.
[00:16:59] Speaker C: It was never. We never knew our parents age. And my family, he's not living now. Oh, my gosh. Yes. God.
[00:17:05] Speaker B: Oh, okay.
[00:17:06] Speaker C: That'll have a stroke if you heard that.
[00:17:08] Speaker B: Yeah. I'm so glad your father's older than I am. Oh, he must. He must be. He must really be old.
Okay, get out of here. Oh, you get out.
He's a what?
[00:17:20] Speaker C: He's a striking man.
[00:17:21] Speaker B: What do you mean by that? Good looking.
[00:17:22] Speaker C: Striking in his looks.
[00:17:24] Speaker B: Pardon me?
[00:17:24] Speaker C: Striking in his looks.
[00:17:26] Speaker B: I see.
[00:17:27] Speaker C: You know when they say woman is striking.
[00:17:28] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:17:29] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:17:30] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:17:30] Speaker C: All clear.
[00:17:32] Speaker B: Julie, what do you. What do you say? How old do you think Carl Reiner is?
[00:17:36] Speaker G: I think. I think everybody's a bit too low. I think I'm going to have to go with about 76.
[00:17:40] Speaker B: 70.
[00:17:41] Speaker F: That's the spirit.
[00:17:42] Speaker G: Yes.
[00:17:43] Speaker B: Okay. I'm so glad you got a chance to get that line. And Emilio, how old do you think he is?
[00:17:51] Speaker F: Well, if he hangs around with a 2000 year old man, he's got to be ancient.
[00:17:55] Speaker B: No, he was just interviewing. He didn't hang around with him.
[00:17:58] Speaker F: Oh, Nora, I just like to ask you, did your father pass down his striking good looks to you?
[00:18:04] Speaker C: No, my mother did.
[00:18:05] Speaker F: Oh, she did.
[00:18:06] Speaker B: She was strikingly beautiful too.
[00:18:08] Speaker C: Oh, my mother. My mother's very striking.
[00:18:10] Speaker B: Are you beautiful?
[00:18:11] Speaker C: No, I'm striking. I. Good bones.
[00:18:14] Speaker B: What is striking? How is striking different than beautiful?
[00:18:17] Speaker C: How much referred to most commonly as a handsome woman.
[00:18:20] Speaker E: A handsome woman.
[00:18:21] Speaker B: Handsome woman.
[00:18:22] Speaker G: A handsome woman.
[00:18:23] Speaker B: Hmm. Yeah, that sounds like a.
I don't know what it sounds like. Handsome woman.
I don't know. Anyway, Amelia, how old?
[00:18:31] Speaker F: Car rider is 71.
[00:18:34] Speaker B: 71. And Helen, what do you think?
[00:18:36] Speaker C: 73.
[00:18:37] Speaker B: 73. Okay. Actually, Carl Reiner is 72.
And that's what Norris said. But you all were very close. Very, very close. You all did very well. Except a couple of you who were kind of far off.
[00:18:52] Speaker G: 2000 years.
[00:18:54] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:18:56] Speaker C: Great writer people. Not many people know.
[00:18:59] Speaker B: Well, he did. He did intro, laughing. He was on that. I think he wrote that.
[00:19:03] Speaker F: He still writes stuff, doesn't he?
[00:19:04] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:19:04] Speaker B: Well, he was a very integral part of the Sid Caesar Imogene Koca show. I mean, that was a great show. He wrote.
He's written a number of things.
Let's go on to Bobby Orr. Yeah.
He read hockey star and a great legend here in Boston. He was the Boston Bruins defensive man. Won the Norris Trophy eight times, led the NHL in scoring twice and assist five times. And he still, after all these years, he's been out of hockey. And after, you know, left here to go to Chicago Blackhawks. Still as one of the great national treasures out of Boston. Treasures. Anyway, that's Bobby Orr.
Let's start with. Let's see. Rob, how old do you think Bob Orr is today?
[00:19:47] Speaker E: I knew you were going to start with me.
[00:19:49] Speaker B: Did you sense that?
[00:19:51] Speaker E: Yes.
[00:19:51] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:19:55] Speaker E: I'm going to say 44.
[00:19:57] Speaker B: 44, okay.
And Nora.
[00:20:03] Speaker C: Oh, God. Let me think. Cab. Cast.
Can you come back to me? I'm gonna think.
[00:20:08] Speaker B: No, you have to guess right now. Those are the.
[00:20:10] Speaker C: Okay, let me think.
Let me get the phone out of my throat. Let me see.
I said 47.
[00:20:19] Speaker B: 47.
Okay. And. Okay. Judy, what do you say?
[00:20:25] Speaker G: Well, I'm from Colorado. I've never actually heard of them.
[00:20:29] Speaker C: Oh, my God.
[00:20:30] Speaker B: Geez.
[00:20:30] Speaker G: Oh, no, no.
[00:20:37] Speaker B: Because we're from here, but we've heard of Buffalo Bill. Is he really buried outside of Danvers? Because there are a couple of places that claim he's buried. I remember going up to the area where he was buried outside of Denver. Sure.
[00:20:49] Speaker G: Yeah.
[00:20:49] Speaker B: And yet we've heard of him, so why should you not heard her, Bobby, or.
[00:20:53] Speaker G: Well, I'm not sure. Well, I'm going. Yes, I'm going to guess that. Hmm. 74.
[00:21:03] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:21:05] Speaker C: God lover.
[00:21:06] Speaker B: 74.
Emilio?
[00:21:10] Speaker G: Heart attack.
[00:21:11] Speaker B: Okay.
Helen.
[00:21:16] Speaker C: I'd say 43.
[00:21:18] Speaker B: 43.
Okay. And Emilio?
[00:21:23] Speaker F: Well, having both oars in the water, I'm going to make.
Well, since Barbie, or came up in 1966 as an 18 year old rookie, that's gonna make him 46 years old.
[00:21:36] Speaker B: 46. Okay.
[00:21:37] Speaker G: What a power play.
[00:21:38] Speaker C: Hmm. Yeah.
[00:21:41] Speaker B: Ethan, what do you say?
[00:21:42] Speaker E: I think we're remembering him. We like to remember him young, but I think he's actually 52.
[00:21:49] Speaker C: I think he's older, too.
[00:21:51] Speaker B: Okay. Rosemarie, what do you think?
[00:21:53] Speaker D: 45.
[00:21:54] Speaker B: I think 45. You think. Okay, Bobby. Or today, on this very day, March 20, is 46. Thank you.
Emilio wins that round. Wow. Okay.
[00:22:06] Speaker C: What did I say? Do you remember?
[00:22:08] Speaker B: He's 40. 46. Yes.
[00:22:11] Speaker E: Who said 74?
[00:22:13] Speaker G: It wasn't me.
[00:22:15] Speaker B: That's right. No, it wasn't.
[00:22:16] Speaker E: Let's review the tape.
[00:22:18] Speaker G: Were we playing double or nothing?
[00:22:23] Speaker B: Okay. Now, that means that Nora and Emilio are tied with two apiece.
And I have one. And Rose. That's right. Rosemarie has one. And William Hurt, the actor, also has born a lot of interesting people. Born in March 20.
[00:22:39] Speaker C: Is that hurt or hurt? Hurt or hurt?
[00:22:42] Speaker B: Hurt, hurt. William Hurt, born in Washington, DC, star the doctor. Broadcast news. I love that movie broadcast news the most. I liked Albert Brooks the most. I think he's a great actor. And Holly Hunter, who, incidentally, was also born on this date. We'll get to her age in a bit. William Hurt, an Oscar nominee as best actor in children of a lesser God. The big chill. The big chill. What was the one where he played a homosexual? Oh, was that the kiss of the bride, the spider woman or something?
[00:23:13] Speaker E: Kiss of the spider woman, yeah.
[00:23:15] Speaker B: And he's married to Heidi Henderson.
[00:23:19] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:23:19] Speaker B: Oh, I didn't know that. She's the daughter of conductor skitch Henderson. Did you know that?
[00:23:24] Speaker C: I didn't think he'd ever marry after that court battle.
[00:23:27] Speaker B: No, that's right. Well, that. Was he married to that woman. No, they were just living with each other.
[00:23:32] Speaker C: I thought that would have.
[00:23:33] Speaker B: Yeah. Sid, you know, he's married to you. He married to skidge Henderson's daughter, man. Interesting. I didn't know that.
[00:23:42] Speaker C: The memory truck.
[00:23:45] Speaker B: What do you think, Ellen? How do you think about William hurt after all of that, all the screen credits he's gotten? You don't even know him.
It doesn't hurt to go, oh, that's right. He was in the Kathleen Turner. What was that movie? White heat or. No. Or something.
[00:24:07] Speaker E: Body heat.
[00:24:08] Speaker B: Body heat. Body heat. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:24:10] Speaker C: I would say about 50.
[00:24:13] Speaker B: I'd say about 50. I'll put that down. I'd say about 50.
Oh, I don't know. I'd say about.
[00:24:20] Speaker C: It's kind of funny.
[00:24:23] Speaker B: There was. They used to be one of the Dallas cruises. There used to be a radio show called Vic and Sade, and it was an Uncle Fletcher on the show who sounded just like that. You talk like this, you'd say, you know what I'm going to do? Say it. I'm going up in the.
I'm in the attic. No, he. And I'm mixing him up with another character. Who sounded. Who was a takeoff on him by Bob. Are you guys familiar with Bob and Ray?
[00:24:48] Speaker C: I am.
[00:24:49] Speaker B: Okay. Bob and Ray had a character name. Uncle Fletcher. Same voice.
He said, I'm going up in the. I'm going up in the attic and make my peanut butter sandwiches and walk around on the ceiling with my suction shoes. And he talked like that. That's the way you talk. How did I get on this thing? What am I talking about? I don't know. Anyway, let's see.
How about you, Rob? What do you think of. How old do you think Rob William hurt is?
[00:25:20] Speaker E: I don't think I have any right answers yet, do I?
[00:25:23] Speaker B: Right answers?
Was there a little bit of humor in that that I mentioned?
[00:25:27] Speaker E: No, not yet. But do I have any?
[00:25:30] Speaker B: Oh, you're asking me a legitimate question. Yeah. No, you do not. But neither does Ethan, nor does Julie.
[00:25:37] Speaker E: Nor.
Okay.
[00:25:39] Speaker B: No, that's all the others do. No, Helen does not have any correct answers either.
[00:25:45] Speaker C: I have them, but I'm not giving them to you.
[00:25:47] Speaker F: After her guess is 50, she still won't have.
[00:25:50] Speaker E: Well, I know this answer will probably hurt me.
48.
[00:25:56] Speaker B: 48. If the answer doesn't hurt us, then certainly the joke does.
I mean, gee, what the heck. And, Ethan, what do you say?
[00:26:09] Speaker E: Probably around 45.
[00:26:11] Speaker B: Around 45. Okay. And hold on just a minute. Everybody be quiet.
Oh, Nora, help.
[00:26:20] Speaker C: Get out of here.
[00:26:23] Speaker B: How old?
44, you say?
[00:26:27] Speaker C: Yes, and it doesn't hurt me at all.
[00:26:30] Speaker B: Oh, be quiet.
You sound so sexy till you tell bad jokes.
[00:26:36] Speaker C: Well, I had to try one. That's the best I can. I'm not a raconteur. Never will be. I can't remember, Joe.
[00:26:42] Speaker B: Okay, Julie, what do you say?
[00:26:44] Speaker G: Well, I'm gonna have to doctor this answer up.
Let's go for a 47.
[00:26:55] Speaker C: Wouldn't you feel bad if I had a lump on my throat, on my vocal cords. And you craps on me like this.
[00:27:02] Speaker B: We're really going astray with this thing, aren't we? This is the worst bit of so worst bitty humor I've heard since the last meeting of the Nathan family Cousins Club.
Emilio, what do you say?
[00:27:16] Speaker F: I was obviously confusing this gentleman with somebody else.
[00:27:19] Speaker B: There's another. There's a couple other actors named Hurt versus Al Hurt, the trumpet player who's the Dixieland trumpet? Well, he plays other things in the Dixie Lambda. He's from New Orleans, was on the Lawrence Welch show for a while. So a little hipper than the usual Lawrence Welch stuff. And there's another. There's another actor named Hurt.
[00:27:40] Speaker F: Is he like, obviously, like much older because.
[00:27:43] Speaker B: Yes, he is. He is much older than this guy. He was in the movie. He was in the movie with Krista Keeler.
[00:27:50] Speaker C: Elephant man.
[00:27:51] Speaker B: What was your name?
[00:27:51] Speaker G: Elephant man in 1984?
[00:27:54] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:27:55] Speaker B: Was that Elephant man?
[00:27:56] Speaker C: No. No. Well, he was in the Elephant man because I kept thinking it was this guy John Hurt.
[00:28:00] Speaker B: John Hurt, that's right.
[00:28:01] Speaker C: Yeah, John Hurt.
[00:28:02] Speaker B: Now this is William hurt.
[00:28:03] Speaker F: Okay, thank you for clarifying that, everybody.
[00:28:05] Speaker C: He was in the Ludlum book north.
[00:28:08] Speaker B: Thank you for giving me that striking leech. Will you make a guess?
[00:28:13] Speaker F: 46.
[00:28:15] Speaker B: 46. We're gonna run right into the protestant hour if you guys keep going like this.
[00:28:19] Speaker F: Thank God.
[00:28:21] Speaker B: Rose. Rosemarie.
[00:28:22] Speaker D: Okay, let me see. I would say 45.
[00:28:26] Speaker B: 45, okay. Actually, he's 44.
So that's you, Nora. You guessed it correctly. Nora.
[00:28:36] Speaker C: I was the high point of my year.
[00:28:38] Speaker B: Yeah. So Nora's got. Actually got. She's got three correct answers. We go to.
[00:28:42] Speaker C: Do I get a gold star?
[00:28:44] Speaker B: Nora?
[00:28:45] Speaker C: Yeah?
[00:28:45] Speaker B: Be quiet. Okay, okay. Fred Rogers. Another one of the colorful, lovely characters. Mister. Let me. Let me read you something about Fred Rogers. Okay? He's born, he's from Pennsylvania, and that's what he does in Mister Rogers neighborhood. This is the worst imitation of Mister Rogers, probably since the beginning of time. And he's in Mister Rogers neighborhood on PBS. He's been doing the show since 1967. Now, that year ought to give you some kind of a clue. He is PBS's longest running children's program, and he's a presbyterian minister, and he's from Latrobe, Pennsylvania. And it's a lovely day in the neighborhood. Is that Mister Rogers?
[00:29:29] Speaker C: Okay, what's his first name?
[00:29:31] Speaker B: Fred.
[00:29:31] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, that's right.
[00:29:33] Speaker E: Mister.
[00:29:33] Speaker B: Mister Fred. Mister Fred. Mister Fred. Well, he's Mister Rogers, but he's just playing Fred among his friends. Some of his friends know him as Freddie.
[00:29:44] Speaker C: I doubt.
[00:29:45] Speaker B: He doesn't look like a Freddy, does he?
[00:29:47] Speaker C: No.
[00:29:47] Speaker B: Okay, let's see. Let me. Who will we start with this time? We'll start with Ethan this time.
[00:29:54] Speaker E: Yes, I would say Mister Rogers, probably.
He's a 771 at this point.
Last couple years, they've been putting a lot of makeup on him.
[00:30:09] Speaker F: You've been watching?
[00:30:10] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:30:12] Speaker B: I thought you were gonna say he's in the neighborhood of 71.
[00:30:16] Speaker F: He stole my stick.
[00:30:18] Speaker B: Well, I could see it coming immediately. Give me another stick and tell me how old you think Fred Rogers is.
[00:30:24] Speaker E: Geez.
[00:30:29] Speaker F: 67?
[00:30:32] Speaker B: Is that what you're saying? 67?
[00:30:33] Speaker F: 52.
[00:30:34] Speaker B: 52?
[00:30:35] Speaker F: Yes, sir.
[00:30:36] Speaker B: You're saying 52? Yes, sir.
[00:30:38] Speaker E: Okay, enter that one in the computer.
[00:30:40] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay.
[00:30:41] Speaker D: And Rosemarie, Mister Rogers with his train is 57.
[00:30:49] Speaker B: 57. Mister Rogers with his train.
[00:30:51] Speaker C: Did you say the train that goes.
[00:30:53] Speaker B: Around the king and the queen?
[00:30:56] Speaker C: Oh, I have a kill. Those little puppets, they are tacky, aren't they?
[00:31:01] Speaker F: Oh, God.
[00:31:02] Speaker G: Yeah.
[00:31:03] Speaker B: Okay, Nora. I'm sorry. Nora, how old is he, for God's sake?
[00:31:09] Speaker C: Oh, God, I remember when he came on.
No, I don't remember the first two by the second.
[00:31:15] Speaker B: 66.
[00:31:15] Speaker C: 66. Got to be.
[00:31:17] Speaker G: That was a good guess.
[00:31:18] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:31:19] Speaker C: Wow.
[00:31:19] Speaker B: Root, what is your guess?
[00:31:21] Speaker G: Julie, I'd say he's also in the sixties. Probably about 63.
[00:31:25] Speaker B: Around 63. Okay.
[00:31:28] Speaker C: Being drug free might not look his age.
[00:31:31] Speaker B: And, Helen, what do you say?
[00:31:33] Speaker C: 67?
[00:31:35] Speaker B: Helen says 67.
[00:31:38] Speaker E: And, robin, can you say 77?
[00:31:42] Speaker B: I can say 77. Boys.
70. 77.
[00:31:46] Speaker E: 77.
[00:31:48] Speaker B: Okay.
And he's got his nice little sweater, and he's got his little sneakers.
[00:31:56] Speaker E: And he's got his little tennis shoes.
[00:31:59] Speaker B: Oh, those are not sneakers. They're tennis shoes. Are they?
[00:32:01] Speaker F: They're very smart tennis shoes, too.
[00:32:05] Speaker B: Fred Rogers today on March 20, is 66. 66. That's. Nora is walking away with Nora on fire.
[00:32:17] Speaker C: Critical thinking.
[00:32:19] Speaker B: Yeah, it's. Anyway, Nora's got four correct answers, and Emilio has two, and Rosemarie has one, and that's about the size of it.
Rob, Ethan and Julie had just been striking out to an embarrassment. And Helen, too, all been striking out terribly. It's really pitiful. All of you. Pitiful.
[00:32:43] Speaker C: I think Tony gave his book to Nora. What book? With all the answers.
[00:32:49] Speaker B: Yeah, see, Helen is one of these sore heads who figures if you know the answers, you must be cheating, because it's. She's trying to make up for deficits in her own ability to guess people's ages, which is quite an art.
[00:33:02] Speaker F: It's only cheating if you get caught. Like Vicky Nixon will tell you.
[00:33:07] Speaker B: His skin was going to get political now, which will make it even worse. Holly Hunter. We're talking about Holly Hunter, who was with William hurt, of course, on that movie, broadcast news. She's from Conyers, Georgia, raising Arizona. Broadcast news. Once around. She was in the. And she's in a movie right now. The piano. The piano, of course, the piano.
[00:33:29] Speaker E: Nominated for both films.
[00:33:30] Speaker B: I know, it isn't that awful? We forgotten that. Yes. Yeah.
[00:33:35] Speaker F: Did she host Saturday night live this week? Was that.
[00:33:37] Speaker B: No, that was Helen Hunter.
[00:33:39] Speaker F: Helen Hunter.
[00:33:39] Speaker B: Okay. Helen Hunt. Hunt. I'm sorry, Rob. I don't know.
[00:33:43] Speaker C: I don't know.
[00:33:44] Speaker F: I'm supposed to be working when that's on.
[00:33:46] Speaker B: Okay, let's start with you and Nora. How old do you think Holly Hunter is?
[00:33:50] Speaker C: Hmm, 20?
[00:33:59] Speaker B: Are you having some kind of a sexual experience?
[00:34:02] Speaker C: Oh, my God, no.
[00:34:05] Speaker B: I'm sorry. My mother would hate me for talking this way.
[00:34:08] Speaker F: You need the ponce.
[00:34:09] Speaker C: My mother's asses are floating around the urn. Let me think.
I guess 30. 30 something.
Those little gals are hard to tell.
35.
[00:34:26] Speaker B: 35.
[00:34:29] Speaker C: So middle of the road.
[00:34:31] Speaker B: Okay. And Helen, what do you think?
[00:34:33] Speaker C: 37.
[00:34:34] Speaker B: 37.
Okay. And Rose Marie.
[00:34:40] Speaker D: Well, I was going to say 35, so I think I'll. So stick with 35.
[00:34:44] Speaker B: 35. Oh, okay.
[00:34:47] Speaker E: And Rob, I'm gonna say 38.
[00:34:52] Speaker B: 38. Yeah.
[00:34:53] Speaker E: That's a firm answer.
[00:34:54] Speaker C: Nice.
[00:34:57] Speaker B: Yes, firm answer. That's really very nice.
[00:35:03] Speaker C: Probably seen her more recently.
[00:35:04] Speaker B: Yeah. Now let's get the bad jokes from Emedio and then get it out of her system and move on.
[00:35:09] Speaker F: Well, no one let me hunt and peck around the Hollywood.
[00:35:13] Speaker B: Shut up.
[00:35:15] Speaker F: Did you get the last part? The Holly tree?
[00:35:17] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:35:19] Speaker F: Well, no one doesn't listen to me. That's why I didn't.
[00:35:20] Speaker B: No, I don't. I don't. In fact, it's amazing. I just heard you say what you did.
[00:35:26] Speaker F: I'll say 37.
[00:35:28] Speaker B: 37.
Okay.
[00:35:30] Speaker E: And Ethan, I saw her in the piano. She didn't look a day over 32.
[00:35:35] Speaker B: 32.
[00:35:37] Speaker C: You look that good, huh?
[00:35:38] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:35:39] Speaker B: Is it?
[00:35:40] Speaker F: Was she.
[00:35:44] Speaker C: Oh, wasn't that funny?
Did you get to see that movie, Norm? No, I did.
Oh, you gotta see it. We love it.
[00:35:56] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:35:57] Speaker C: It is little. No movie.
[00:36:00] Speaker B: Okay, okay. Hold on. I just want to ask Julie what she thinks. How old she thinks.
[00:36:06] Speaker G: I'm going to guess that on her holiday today.
[00:36:12] Speaker F: Creativity. Floating.
[00:36:15] Speaker G: She's 39.
[00:36:17] Speaker B: She's 39. 39, you know, 39, you know, is all right. You know. You see? You know, actually, Hollywood, you know, Holly Hunter, you see, is 36. Oh.
[00:36:39] Speaker C: Oh, ok.
[00:36:41] Speaker B: I think got a tie. Yeah. We've got about four winners on this one.
Nora.
[00:36:49] Speaker C: Yes. Yes.
[00:36:50] Speaker B: Who said 35.
And Rosemarie who said 35.
And Helen and Emilio both said 37. So they both were the closest. And so that's the way it goes. We have one more, but Nora is running away with the whole thing. She's got five correct answers.
[00:37:10] Speaker C: There's no.
[00:37:11] Speaker B: Well, you're not going to win much of anything this time either.
[00:37:14] Speaker C: Oh, no, I consider it something.
[00:37:16] Speaker B: No, it's a worthless, useless prize.
[00:37:17] Speaker C: No, it's personal.
[00:37:19] Speaker B: Okay. Incidentally, anybody who's won on the dumb birthday game in the past has. We haven't. I haven't gotten around to sending out the prizes for the past four or five weeks. So hold on. This weekend, I think maybe I'll get. Get this stuff cleaned up. But I've been. What I do with the way I get these prices, I don't know, you know this or not?
[00:37:39] Speaker C: No.
[00:37:39] Speaker B: I go through the desk.
[00:37:40] Speaker E: They want to know this.
[00:37:41] Speaker B: I go. I go through the desk drawers of people in the sales department and I steal stuff out of them and really junky stuff they keep in there. Yeah, well, sometimes if I get a good. You know, they're good package, I want to give a really good price. I give them the paper clips.
Otherwise, a couple of rubber bands.
[00:38:01] Speaker F: Crumbs.
[00:38:03] Speaker B: Okay, this is the last one. This is Pat Riley. We're getting to sports again.
Pat Riley from Rome, New York. Former coach of the Lakers. He's known as the best dressed man in basketball. He's the coach of the New York Knicks right now. The team that beat the Celtics this past night, as a matter of fact, best dressed man, he's dressed as very much like myself. Very neat, kind of debonair.
Pardon me.
[00:38:32] Speaker C: Gotta change his hair. It's old. Now, that slick back look is.
[00:38:35] Speaker F: He stole that from Norm. Norm wears his hair that way.
[00:38:38] Speaker B: You know, Nora, I don't. Sometimes even. I don't know what you're saying. I get all excited.
[00:38:42] Speaker C: God, you flatter me.
[00:38:44] Speaker B: Let's start with you, Julie. How old do you think Pat Riley is? Coach of the New York Knicks. Zaporman. Best dressed, looking swell.
[00:38:52] Speaker G: I know. He's all riled up.
[00:38:55] Speaker B: Is that why you had that little grin on your face? You were ready to swing that on us?
[00:39:00] Speaker G: Yeah, I'd say. 53.
[00:39:03] Speaker B: 53.
[00:39:04] Speaker G: Amelia's giving me a bad look.
[00:39:05] Speaker B: This obviously not right.
[00:39:07] Speaker F: Pat's getting worked over here.
[00:39:09] Speaker B: Ethan, what do you say?
[00:39:10] Speaker E: Oh, can Amelia go before me?
[00:39:12] Speaker B: No, no, it's your turn.
[00:39:15] Speaker E: All right.
Well, he's.
[00:39:20] Speaker B: 44. 44. Okay. What do you think?
[00:39:24] Speaker F: I mean, well, you know, he's in New York.
[00:39:26] Speaker B: He's living the life of Riley.
[00:39:29] Speaker F: And so I say, what are you going to coach? 83.
93. 1011.
[00:39:34] Speaker B: Soon.
Five.
How would you get out with it? 43.
Okay, Rob.
[00:39:44] Speaker E: 46.
[00:39:46] Speaker B: 46. See, there's no nonsense about Rob. He just says the numbers.
[00:39:50] Speaker F: Well, someone's gonna be the shtick guy. Someone's gonna be the straight guy.
[00:39:53] Speaker B: Yeah, but does it have to be you? In either case? Rosemary, what do you think?
[00:39:58] Speaker D: Let me see.
The Lakers for about ten, and he's been here for like, what, two? Sometimes I would say 12.
47. 47.
[00:40:13] Speaker B: Is there somebody in the background coaching you?
[00:40:15] Speaker D: No.
[00:40:16] Speaker B: I heard a scream.
[00:40:17] Speaker F: I heard someone.
[00:40:17] Speaker B: I heard somebody say 47. I thought too.
[00:40:19] Speaker D: That's me.
[00:40:21] Speaker B: No, no, I know you did, but I thought there was a male voice.
[00:40:26] Speaker F: We got some. Somebody in cahoots over there.
[00:40:28] Speaker B: Helen, what do you think?
[00:40:29] Speaker C: 45?

[00:40:39] Speaker C: Well, I think he's 40.
Helen, you said 47.

[00:40:46] Speaker C: Is that the last number?
[00:40:48] Speaker B: The last number was. Helen said 45.
[00:40:51] Speaker C: No, I think he's older. I think he's 47. Let's go for that.
[00:40:55] Speaker B: 47. Okay.
Actually, he's 49.
[00:41:00] Speaker D: Damn, that's pretty good.

[00:41:11] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:41:12] Speaker B: And. Oh, hello.
And Rose Marie both said 47, and so those were the closest. So this is the. These are the final scores. And Nora gets the swirl gift.

[00:41:29] Speaker F: You'll have to really forage and get her a good one because her voice is so, so nice.
[00:41:35] Speaker B: No, she'll get the same junkie prize everybody else will.
[00:41:40] Speaker D: Or a winter gift.

Well, some say after retirement, it's common. You're not alone, you know. As a matter of fact, there's a study going on right now at the Brigham and Women's Hospital focusing on sleeping disorders regarding body temperature, hormones, circadian rhythms.

And if you're interested, you can call Debbie right now at 617-732-4311 she'll answer any questions you might have. 617-732-4311 and, hey, you could probably use the rest. 617-732-4311.
