Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: Hello, Namibia. Ungepi tangi for listening. This week brings us a dumb birthday game from August 11, 1992, which I have titled Irene, queen of the non sequitur. The players the sweet voiced Kristen from Dorchester, Glenn, the blind piano tuner from Brighton. Billy the Kid from Lowell who's just 14 years old. The smoke free Irene from Connecticut. I'm playing from home. Yet seated at the end of the aisle, Jack Hart and the smoky voiced Lynn Palumbo producing and playing in studio.
Mike Douglas, Hulk Hogan, Carl Rowan, Jerry Falwell, and Eric Kerman. We get one date in history. In what year did the Beatles start their Apple Records label? Post game, we get some commercials call for action, Tommy Hindson for the Hilltop restaurant and Phonahead seating, CV's, samaritan vans, and Boston traffic. Then norm vamps a little bit with weather, sports, the lottery, and some news before the full moon phone calls begin. Eric from Lowell, Eddie from Fitchburg, Doris in Marshfield, and Dolores from Burlington. Episode 195 Irene, queen of the non sequitur, talks and talks and talks. It's way to your ears now.
[00:01:32] Speaker B: Okay, this is the game we're going to play. Now, I tell you who's born on this date, and you tell me how old they are. And I know so many of you said, Norm, that is really a stupid concept, but, hey, we just have just so much fun. We hate stopping the game. So let's find out who's we have. Kristen's going to play with us today. Ken. Kristen, hi.
[00:01:52] Speaker C: Good morning, Norm.
[00:01:53] Speaker B: Good morning, Kristen.
[00:01:55] Speaker C: How you doing?
[00:01:56] Speaker B: Okay. What's happened since the last time we talked with you?
[00:01:59] Speaker C: Oh, not much.
[00:02:00] Speaker B: I see. Well, that eliminates that, that exciting conversation then, doesn't it?
[00:02:06] Speaker C: Yes. I see you've had an exciting last few weeks, huh?
[00:02:11] Speaker B: Oh, it's been breathtaking.
[00:02:12] Speaker C: You poor thing. I feel so bad.
[00:02:15] Speaker B: Well, thank you very much. No, it was just a little bit of stuff that had to be taken care of and has been. And I'm back to my fading my fighting strength and weight again.
[00:02:24] Speaker C: I've. I missed you so much. I was so worried and nervous.
[00:02:28] Speaker B: Oh, my goodness.
[00:02:29] Speaker C: That's in. Tears rolled down my face, and I heard your voice for the first time after two weeks.
[00:02:34] Speaker B: Oh, that's so beautiful.
[00:02:36] Speaker C: And I'm telling the truth, too. I'm not even kidding.
[00:02:39] Speaker B: Well, that is so nice.
[00:02:41] Speaker C: I missed it so much.
[00:02:42] Speaker B: Well, thank you very much.
[00:02:44] Speaker C: I really mean it.
[00:02:45] Speaker B: Okay, I'm going to introduce you to some of the other folks playing the game with you, like Glenn, who's in Brighton. Hi, Glenn.
[00:02:51] Speaker D: Hi. This is Glenn the piano tuner.
[00:02:53] Speaker B: Oh, it's Glenn the piano tuner. The left winging, liberal, bleeding hard do good or just like me.
[00:03:00] Speaker D: Yeah. And I actually, I wanted to ask. I could have asked it before, but I didn't want to keep her on hold. I'm curious. I wanted to ask producer Lynn a question. I'm curious if in 1982, there was a woman that worked for the Brighton phone business office. Her name was Lynn Boyle and she had a voice just like Lynn Palumbo. And she always cut her fingers on staples.
[00:03:24] Speaker B: She always got her fingers on staples.
[00:03:27] Speaker D: Yeah. Because the last time Lynn Palumbo played the birthday game, she cut her finger on a stable.
[00:03:31] Speaker B: Oh, that's right. She did, didn't she? That's right.
[00:03:34] Speaker D: Because you teased her. You said, what could you possibly, as a producer to my show, cut your finger.
[00:03:40] Speaker B: I recall that. And it was an ugly moment. I recall that. And I recall Tony Nesbitt came between the two of us and broke us up before we got into a big fight. Maybe I'm forgetting. Maybe. Maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit there.
[00:03:52] Speaker D: But I'm glad to play with Kristen from Dorchester.
[00:03:55] Speaker B: Yeah, Kristen.
It's another one of those lovely voices you're going to fall in love with again, aren't you? You're a very fickle person, Glenn. No, you fall in love with, you fall in love with every woman that's been on the program.
[00:04:07] Speaker D: No, no, no. Ruth is my favorite, but I have alternates. But there. But there are a lot of nice women that call the program.
[00:04:14] Speaker B: Kristen writes high.
[00:04:16] Speaker D: Number two.
[00:04:18] Speaker C: Thank you.
[00:04:19] Speaker B: That's pretty good. Okay.
[00:04:22] Speaker D: I heard of the day that Tuesday, June 2. I think she was on in the birthday game. I remember that was a Jarrett Jernigan produced at Garrett Jernigan.
[00:04:30] Speaker B: Okay. Okay. We also have. We have Billy, who's up in Lowell. Hi, Billy. Hi. Oh, this is a young guy.
[00:04:37] Speaker C: Yeah, same one I called the other night.
[00:04:39] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. And I forgot. How old are you, Billy? I'm 1414 years old. Okay.
Okay. Billy's with us. We have. Irene is with us from Connecticut, who's with us the other day, who's giving up cigarettes for what, ten days now, you said.
[00:04:53] Speaker C: That's right.
[00:04:54] Speaker B: That's very good.
[00:04:54] Speaker D: Yeah. I smoked half a pack a day myself.
[00:04:56] Speaker C: Can I say something else before you go away?
[00:04:59] Speaker B: I bet you will. Anyway, even if I said no, I can't top Kristen.
[00:05:03] Speaker C: By the way, she has a lovely voice. Thank you. Don't smoke. No, I don't. Change your voice if you smoke?
[00:05:12] Speaker B: Are you, are you already on that kick, like just because you gave it up for ten days?
[00:05:16] Speaker C: She has such a lovely voice. And your voice, it does change your voice.
[00:05:22] Speaker B: That's right, too, because I haven't smoked in about ten years, and you can hear the beautiful, gorgeous, sensuous voice that I have ten years ago. Hold on a minute, will you? Irene, Irene, I'm doing, I'm doing shtick. The best bet is just to be quiet till I finish. She's not going to finish. She's not going to stop for a second.
[00:05:39] Speaker C: No, I just want to ask you one more thing.
[00:05:41] Speaker B: Oh, Irene, please. What?
[00:05:43] Speaker C: You want to sit next to Tony?
[00:05:45] Speaker B: What?
[00:05:46] Speaker C: I want to sit next to Tony.
[00:05:47] Speaker B: Oh, Irene, sit there and grind your teeth and stop that.
Okay. Speaking of Tony. Hi, Tony. Aren't you glad you're not here?
[00:05:56] Speaker E: Yes, I've checked my ticket and lucky me, I'm at the end of the aisle.
[00:06:00] Speaker B: Okay, that's beautiful. And Tony, of course, our producer, who is at home right now, but who is so devoted to George Westinghouse and his entire broadcasting empire and to this program particularly. He doesn't like George Westinghouse, although she's not going to stop.
[00:06:17] Speaker E: I'm surprised they didn't change the number from the game yesterday.
I was surprised when I called at the, you know, you were still on the air in the station. They didn't change phone numbers.
[00:06:29] Speaker B: Oh, you mean. That's right after yesterday's game?
[00:06:31] Speaker E: Yeah. I didn't order in to say, don't, you know, Tony does call. Don't let him on.
[00:06:36] Speaker B: Oh, no, nobody would say that. Nobody would say that. Lynn, Columbia. Lynn Palumbo, Rather says will be playing the game with us. Hi, Lynn.
[00:06:43] Speaker F: Hello.
[00:06:45] Speaker B: What do you think of that voice?
[00:06:46] Speaker E: She's on the top of my list.
[00:06:48] Speaker D: Are you asking me?
[00:06:49] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:06:49] Speaker D: Oh, it's good. It's just like the one from the phone company ten years ago. That's why.
[00:06:54] Speaker B: Oh, that's right. You did mention that. Did you work for the phone company ten years ago, Lynn?
[00:06:58] Speaker F: I think I was still in junior high back then.
[00:07:00] Speaker B: Yeah, Lynn is, actually, Lynn is only about 14 years old now. She's about the same age as Billy.
[00:07:06] Speaker D: Well, I'm 39 and a half.
[00:07:08] Speaker B: 30. You're 39 and a half.
[00:07:13] Speaker D: I'm the same age as Marianne from Philadelphia.
[00:07:17] Speaker E: Glenn really scares me.
[00:07:19] Speaker D: Why?
[00:07:19] Speaker B: He really is. I have a feeling one day he's going to come in and take this whole program over and.
[00:07:24] Speaker D: No, that's Wolfie's job.
[00:07:26] Speaker F: Oh, please.
[00:07:27] Speaker B: I think we got to. I think we're going to. We're in for serious trouble tonight, Tony.
Oh, be quiet, will you, Irene?
[00:07:35] Speaker E: Sure.
[00:07:36] Speaker B: Okay. Let me give you. Let me. Let's. Let's begin this swell game now. And I'll give you the name of a person. One of the people who's born on this date. This is the date. Of course, being August 11. Now. Tuesday, August 11 is Mike Douglas. Mike Douglas. Not Michael Douglas, the actor. This is Mike Douglas who used to have. Have a tv show during the afternoon. He was one of the. One of the first tv hosts sang with a Kate Kaiser band. If you want to go way, way back. Then later on had a tv show. Hold on a minute. Irene. If you could just listen and stop talking so much. I would really love it just so much. I would even. I would even help you get over the cigarette thing.
[00:08:15] Speaker E: She's got all that extra breath now.
[00:08:17] Speaker B: Yeah, she has.
[00:08:17] Speaker E: Not smoking.
[00:08:18] Speaker B: God help us. Or maybe she ought to smoke again.
[00:08:21] Speaker F: No.
[00:08:22] Speaker B: Okay. Anyway, it's Mike Douglas who had the tv show back in the sixties.
Was very big. Anyway. What do you think? Kristen, how old do you think? Do you remember Mike Douglas?
[00:08:34] Speaker C: Yes, I do.
[00:08:35] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:08:36] Speaker C: Could I ask you a question?
[00:08:38] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:08:39] Speaker C: Where is Jack Hod?
[00:08:41] Speaker B: Oh. Oh. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
[00:08:46] Speaker F: Wait 1 second.
[00:08:47] Speaker B: Thank you. Thank you very much. No. Oh, I'm sorry. We gotta set that. We got to set the board up here so we can get Jack hard. Okay. Hold on one moment.
Oh, Jack.
Yeah. Oh, Jack. I'm sorry. Jack. I'm sorry. I really followed up on that one.
I'm sorry. I stepped out for a minute. I figured I'll go have a cup of coffee while they play. No. No. We can't play without. Without you. I'm so glad that Kristen mentioned that. Oh, what a tragedy that would have been.
[00:09:18] Speaker C: I could never play the game without Jack.
[00:09:21] Speaker B: I know. It's better to lose Irene than to lose Jack. I say.
[00:09:24] Speaker F: Oh, be nice. Be nice to Irene.
[00:09:27] Speaker B: Okay. Kristen. What do you say? How old is Mike Douglas today?
[00:09:31] Speaker C: Well, now that I'm relieved.
I can think a little.
[00:09:35] Speaker E: So is Jack. He just came back from the bathroom.
[00:09:37] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:09:38] Speaker F: Oh, come on, Tony.
[00:09:40] Speaker C: I can think a little bit more clearly now.
And I'll say 63.
[00:09:47] Speaker B: Okay. And what do you say, Glenn?
[00:09:49] Speaker D: 60S or 262?
[00:09:51] Speaker B: 62. Okay. A little. Billy, what do you say?
[00:09:55] Speaker D: What's that tv show he was on?
[00:09:58] Speaker B: It's called. Well, strangely enough was called the Mike Douglas show.
And it was for some reason. Yeah. It was called. It was going to be called. It was going to be called the Sally Jesse Raphael show. But nobody had thought of that name at that time. And it was an afternoon variety show, music and guests and that kind of stuff. And he sang, and he was on during the sixties, if that'll help you figure. But it's true, if you're only. You're 14, so you wouldn't remember that. It's quite some time ago.
How old do you think, Billy?
[00:10:32] Speaker C: 63.
[00:10:33] Speaker B: You're gonna say 63. Same as Kristen. Okay. Okay, Irene, now we can get your guess.
[00:10:39] Speaker C: I think he's 70.
[00:10:41] Speaker B: 70, okay. And what do you think, Lynn?
[00:10:47] Speaker F: 66.
[00:10:47] Speaker B: 66.
Okay. And Tony?
[00:10:52] Speaker E: 64.
[00:10:55] Speaker B: Jack, was he ish kabibble or was that Merv Griffin?
Wait a minute.
Ishka. Oh, I see. I said. Oh, hold on, Irene.
I did say he sang with a kay Kaiser band. That's true. And ish Kabibel did do novelty songs with the Kay Kaiser bandhead. He was neither of those. Ish Kabibel was actually Ishkabibel. Oh, I see.
Ish Kabibel was his real name. What sort of parents would name that child ish? Well, kabibul, I guess. Mister and misses kabibble. They had a son and they said, you know what would go nice with this? How about the name ish? I think the name Ish would be a swell name. Let's call him that. In any event, Mike Douglas wasn't either of those. He sang. And there was a. There's a. There's a woman named Bennett, Sue Bennett, who's from this area, who was the. The girl singer at one point when they were doing a tv show. Remember the early Kate guys? Or tv show. There was a guy used to do Ford commercials on that. This is an interesting thing. You'll love this, Irene.
This might even keep you quiet for about 12 seconds. But there used to be a. There was a guy delivering Ford commercials on the Kate Kaiser show. This is before the Mike Douglas show. You like this, too, Billy? I can tell the way you're just enraptured by this.
No, I think. I don't think I'm going to finish this.
[00:12:22] Speaker E: Call the K Kaiser show.
[00:12:24] Speaker B: Norm, that was called the Kai, strangely enough. Well, it was. Yeah, that's right. It was called. Actually, for a while it was called the Iskabibble show. Now it's called the Count Basie show. Oh, but the basie band really had a tough time.
[00:12:37] Speaker D: Wasn't Ishkabibu Al Brooks's father? I mean, Albert Brooks?
[00:12:42] Speaker B: Is that right?
[00:12:44] Speaker D: Albert Einstein or something?
[00:12:46] Speaker E: Yeah, that's it.
[00:12:48] Speaker D: Not the thing.
[00:12:49] Speaker B: Albert anyway, I promise never to go into one of those long stories again, particularly when I don't finish them. So, Jack, what do you really even got it started? I know it. I know it. Anyway, the guy had sent obscene letters to listeners who wrote to him at the tv station, and he was finally fired. But Jack, hard. Anyway, how old is Mike Douglas?
He's not the guy that sent the obscene letters, by the way.
68. Can you imagine sending a fan letter to somebody they watch on television? You get back this obscene letter, all of sexual innuendo and everything. I said, that's incredible. They don't make programs like that anymore.
They do all the sexual innuendo and obscenity right on the air. Right on the air instead of in the window.
Okay.
The actual age of Mike Douglas. Mike Douglas today is 67 years old. So that means we have.
We have two winners. We have Lynn Palumbo, you. Lynn said 66 and Jack Hart said 68. So you're both the winners. Very good. That's kind of exciting.
[00:14:00] Speaker F: That's very exciting. Usually Jack and I don't do too well.
[00:14:03] Speaker B: Yeah, now you're doing well together. Yeah, you're doing well together, too. This might be the beginning of something really nice. Really nice. You know what I'm saying? Right. Okay. How about Hulk Hogan? You know what Hulk Hogan's real name is?
[00:14:18] Speaker C: I do.
[00:14:19] Speaker B: What is it? Yeah.
[00:14:20] Speaker C: Kerry Bollea.
[00:14:23] Speaker B: Let me see.
[00:14:26] Speaker F: You know it really well.
[00:14:27] Speaker B: I know I'm looking it up.
[00:14:29] Speaker C: I don't know how to pronounce the last name, but I think it's B O l l E A. Yeah, she's right.
[00:14:35] Speaker B: Wait a minute. Let me see. I'm still looking.
[00:14:38] Speaker F: Shuffle those papers. I love that noise.
[00:14:41] Speaker E: For fledgling broadcasters, this is how you prepare for a show.
[00:14:44] Speaker B: Yeah. His name? Yeah. Terry. Terry Jean Bolle. A. Bo l l e a. That's right. Yeah. Born in Augusta, Georgia, on this very date, August 11. And that means he would be how old, Tony?
[00:14:57] Speaker E: 39.
[00:14:59] Speaker B: 39.
39 years old and now has an inside crotch body lift and, you know, slam and wins the first hold.
[00:15:12] Speaker E: Now, that would be something. Jack Benny announcing a wrestling match.
[00:15:18] Speaker B: Well, you know, I mentioned I used to do color. The color commentary on wrestling matches on radio. You talk about a swell career.
Jack, what do you say? How old do you think Hulk Hogan is? Oh, 41. 41. Okay. And Lynn?
[00:15:37] Speaker F: 43.
[00:15:38] Speaker B: 43, okay. And Irene.
[00:15:41] Speaker C: Oh, did you know that?
[00:15:43] Speaker B: Come a little closer to the phone, Irene.
[00:15:45] Speaker C: I know that Arnold Camille was the father of Gypsy Wolsey's son.
[00:15:53] Speaker B: Irene, how the hell old is Hal Kogan?
How old is Hulk. How old is Hulk Hogan, Irene?
[00:16:00] Speaker C: Oh, 42.
[00:16:03] Speaker B: Okay.
And what do you think, Billy?
[00:16:09] Speaker C: Personal experience?
[00:16:11] Speaker B: 44. 44.
[00:16:13] Speaker F: What kind of personal experience was that?
[00:16:16] Speaker B: Yeah. What do you mean, personal experience? Did you wrestle with him at one time?
[00:16:19] Speaker C: Yes, I did.
[00:16:21] Speaker B: I see.
Okay, Glenn. Glenn, what do you say?
[00:16:28] Speaker D: Well, I'm waiting for Lynn to stop left.
[00:16:31] Speaker B: That may. That may never happen.
[00:16:34] Speaker D: Uh, 42.
[00:16:36] Speaker B: 42. Okay. And Kristen?
[00:16:39] Speaker C: Well, I do like wrestling as my favorite sport. Besides basketball.
[00:16:46] Speaker B: Wrestling is your favorite sport?
[00:16:47] Speaker C: Oh, besides basketball, definitely.
[00:16:49] Speaker E: Well, she never calls anymore. You kind of forget what Kristen likes or doesn't like.
[00:16:53] Speaker F: Oh, Tony, are you hurt?
[00:16:56] Speaker E: I am. I am very hurt. She never.
[00:16:58] Speaker C: Well, I'll call you this weekend.
[00:16:59] Speaker E: She doesn't call. She doesn't write.
[00:17:02] Speaker F: Tony's desperate one.
[00:17:05] Speaker C: Oh, I feel just so darn bad.
[00:17:08] Speaker B: And so I forget what the question is now. I think it's how old Al Kogan is he, aunt hell.
[00:17:14] Speaker C: Otto preminger.
[00:17:18] Speaker B: The answer is Otto Preminger.
[00:17:22] Speaker C: Norm, I can't hear. Irene, do you think that's a plus?
[00:17:26] Speaker B: Yes. You're. You're one up on the rest of.
[00:17:28] Speaker C: Us, because I can't hear a word she said.
[00:17:30] Speaker D: I can't either.
[00:17:31] Speaker B: No, no, she's not coming into.
[00:17:33] Speaker F: She's answering a question that she asked Norm about a half hour ago that Norm didn't know the answer. A lovely caller called up and gave us the answer.
[00:17:40] Speaker C: I thought I missed a good joke.
[00:17:43] Speaker B: Okay, how old is Hulk? This is never going to end, this damn thing, and I'm sick of it already. How old is Hulk Hogan?
[00:17:49] Speaker C: Well, Tony was right on the bottom ball. Right on the ring. Right on the ring. Sorry.
[00:17:56] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:17:56] Speaker C: He said he's 39.
[00:17:58] Speaker B: Okay, both of you are right. He is 39 years old today.
Okay, Carl Rowan. You know, Karl Rowan, the commentator, political writer, is on television quite a little bit, and this column is syndicated throughout the country.
[00:18:13] Speaker D: Yeah, he's the guy that shot those kids in his swimming pool.
[00:18:15] Speaker B: That's right, too. Yes, that's right. He had talked about the gun control, and then it ended up he had had a gun himself and was protecting his property or something. And anyway, that's Karl Rowan. Let's start with you, Irene. How old is Carl Rowan? What, you think I want an answer.
[00:18:36] Speaker C: You don't want any stars?
I say 61.
[00:18:41] Speaker B: Okay. And Vivien Lee gave birth to Glenn. What do you say, Carl?
[00:18:49] Speaker D: Ruins.
[00:18:49] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:18:53] Speaker D: I'm gonna take a stab at 68.
[00:18:56] Speaker B: 68.
[00:18:57] Speaker D: I know we went back to the LBJ period.
[00:18:59] Speaker B: Okay. And Tony.
[00:19:02] Speaker E: Well, I'll take a shot at.
[00:19:10] Speaker B: 60.

Kristen.
[00:19:35] Speaker C: Let's see.
[00:19:42] Speaker B: Okay. And what? And Jack? 59.
Okay. Okay. Actually, Lynn got it right on the button. He's 67. Okay. So Lynn has got two out of three. And Jack has one. And. That's right. Same age as Douglas. That's right. And Tony has one. And Jack and Kristen. They all have one.
Glenn, Bill and Billy and Irene have nothing. Particularly Irene.
Okay. Jerry Falwell. I guess you all know who Jerry Falwell is. He was born August 11.
What's that?
[00:20:23] Speaker D: I have sinned.
He did that. I have sinned.
[00:20:27] Speaker B: No, I caught that. I was trying to figure out who said that. Who was that? Who said that?
[00:20:32] Speaker D: It was me, Glenna.
[00:20:33] Speaker B: Oh, Glenn, are you doing an imitation?
[00:20:35] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:20:36] Speaker B: That was very good. Oh, that was very nice. That was very nice the way you did that. I see. How old you think he is. Jerry. Glenn rather, now that you said the Jerry, you did the imitation.
[00:20:48] Speaker D: I'm gonna guess at 45.
[00:20:52] Speaker B: Okay. And Billy?
[00:20:57] Speaker C: I go with the imitator. 45.
[00:21:00] Speaker B: Go on with the imitator. Okay.
And Kristen?
[00:21:07] Speaker C: 50.
[00:21:09] Speaker B: What do you think, Irene?
[00:21:11] Speaker C: I think he's about 55.
[00:21:14] Speaker B: Lynn?
[00:21:16] Speaker F: 48.
[00:21:17] Speaker B: Jack? Oh, praise the Lord. I think he's 61.
[00:21:22] Speaker D: And pass the ammunition.
[00:21:27] Speaker B: I wonder if we could rebroadcast yesterday's program.
Tony, what do you say?
Follow.
[00:21:37] Speaker E: Eh.
[00:21:38] Speaker B: That's the guy.
[00:21:39] Speaker E: 53.
[00:21:50] Speaker C: Hello.
[00:21:51] Speaker B: I'm sorry. I just. I was just deciding whether or not to go to the bathroom. I was going to leave. Terry Falwell actually is 59 years old today, and Jack said 61.
[00:22:04] Speaker E: There you go.
[00:22:05] Speaker B: Which would make him the.
[00:22:06] Speaker F: Didn't I say 58?
[00:22:08] Speaker B: Wait a minute. Hold on. You said 48. I thought. Didn't you say 48?
[00:22:13] Speaker F: Oh, yeah.
[00:22:17] Speaker E: I thought she.
[00:22:18] Speaker B: Okay, no, 48 is what I got written down here. And my hearing, I think I did say 48.
[00:22:24] Speaker D: The problem is in your set.
[00:22:26] Speaker B: Okay. He said he's 59. Yes. He's 50. You were close, Irene. You came very close. You said 55.
Yes. Whatever. Yeah.
Eric. Eric Carmen, the singer.
[00:22:45] Speaker F: I am so upset that everybody knows.
[00:22:47] Speaker B: Who he is today. We'll start with. Let's start with you, Tony, on this one, Eric Carmenhood.
[00:22:54] Speaker E: He's got to be pushing 40.
45.
[00:23:03] Speaker B: Okay. Jack. I think he, at one point, was with a band called the Strawberries.
[00:23:08] Speaker D: He was. That was in 1972. He was with the strawberries in the fall.
[00:23:14] Speaker E: That's when. That's when the pick and dripe.
[00:23:16] Speaker B: Yeah, not for strawberries. Yeah. Strawberry is.
[00:23:22] Speaker E: No, don't, please. Don't get philosophical.
[00:23:25] Speaker B: No, no. Strawberry is June. I'm sorry. I didn't have to say that.
But I don't know much about Carmen, Eric Carmen. But I do know about strawberries.
[00:23:37] Speaker D: That's because of that commercial that's on your show all night about the strawberries in it or the.
[00:23:41] Speaker B: No.
[00:23:42] Speaker E: That aired in June. See, I should have remembered.
[00:23:44] Speaker B: Oh, that's right.
[00:23:45] Speaker E: I've learned something this evening, Norm.
[00:23:47] Speaker B: Yeah. That's the month to get strawberries, June.
[00:23:50] Speaker E: And play dumkham.
[00:23:51] Speaker B: Yeah, and play.
[00:23:51] Speaker D: That went up against. Right. Being pushed head to head.
[00:23:54] Speaker B: What do you think, Jack? Jack Hutt. How old is Eric Carmen?
40?
46.
Lynn.
[00:24:07] Speaker D: Me or Lynn?
[00:24:08] Speaker B: No, I'm asking Lynn now.
[00:24:10] Speaker F: 47.
[00:24:15] Speaker B: That's a nice, positive way to come on, Marty.
Irene, I'm sorry.
Come closer to the phone, which. Irene, we can hardly hear you.
[00:24:25] Speaker C: I never heard of the man.
[00:24:26] Speaker B: Nobody asked you whether you heard him. Just guess his damn age.
[00:24:30] Speaker C: I know everybody else.
[00:24:31] Speaker F: I haven't heard of him.
[00:24:35] Speaker B: You're going to go with Tony. That's 45. Is that what you're saying?
That what you're saying, Irene? Okay, Billy, what do you think?
[00:24:45] Speaker C: 103.
[00:24:47] Speaker B: 103. Okay, Glenn, I'm going to go between.
[00:24:52] Speaker D: Lynn and Tony and say 46.
[00:24:55] Speaker B: You sure they'll let you? Okay. Kristen?
[00:24:59] Speaker D: Oh, I rest.
[00:25:03] Speaker C: 39.
[00:25:05] Speaker B: I'm not going to waste an invitation, my slow invitation, on doing that again. Okay. Eric Carmen actually is 43. Oh, and I think Tony, who said 45? Let me see now.
Yes, you did. You said 45 also. Irene. Yeah.
[00:25:22] Speaker E: You welcome Irene.
[00:25:23] Speaker B: Yeah. So you two are the closest.
Okay. That's it. That's. I think that ought to wind up this whole game, because you don't have any dates. Well, I have one date. Okay. I'll give you one day, you know, a year.
No, that's. That's what, you know, I know what you meant to.
I don't know. I just. I just feel. I don't feel enchanted by this one. There's a certain magic that seems to be missing today. But I'll give you one. I'll give you one more. This is the.
In fact, this is the national apple we can ascend. Not the apples that we. The fruit. But this was. The apple recording label was launched by the Beatles. And what year was that that they launched apple.
[00:26:15] Speaker D: Oh, I know.
[00:26:16] Speaker B: Okay. And they presented boxes of our first four releases, went to the Queen and a whole bunch of other people and all that kind of stuff as they introduced apple records. What was the year that apple records were introduced? We'll start with Kristen, what do you think? What year was that?
[00:26:33] Speaker C: Can I ask one question?
[00:26:35] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:26:36] Speaker C: Is Apple a record company in England?
[00:26:40] Speaker B: Well, it was. They. They were. Yeah, they released the records here also. But it wasn't in England. It was owned by the Beatles.
[00:26:46] Speaker C: Okay, let's see.
[00:26:54] Speaker E: Keep saying it. I kind of enjoying it.
[00:26:59] Speaker B: A little faster.
[00:27:00] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:27:03] Speaker F: I'm not even going to touch that one.
[00:27:07] Speaker C: Well, that was a little before my time, so I'll just say an even 60.
1960.
[00:27:14] Speaker B: Okay. Glenn, what do you think?
[00:27:16] Speaker D: 1968.
[00:27:18] Speaker B: And what do you think? Billy, what did you say?
[00:27:24] Speaker C: 68.
[00:27:25] Speaker B: You said 1968. Also. You don't know any of these, really, do you? Just copying everybody else, aren't you? You little person.
I like you, though. I like you. I like you a lot. I'm going to buy a newspaper pair of pants so you can start school and look really shy.
Irene, what do you think?
[00:27:43] Speaker C: 60.
[00:27:44] Speaker B: 419. 64.
Okay. And, Lynn, I'm tempted to say 68.
[00:27:51] Speaker F: Because Glenn just thought he knew it. But my first guess was 63, so we'll go with 63. I just had to share that with you now.
[00:28:00] Speaker B: It's kind of nice to understand how.
[00:28:02] Speaker F: How my mind works.
[00:28:03] Speaker B: Yeah. A sharp mind.
[00:28:04] Speaker E: How a wrong answer comes about. It's always nice to find out.
[00:28:08] Speaker B: Jack, what do you say? I'm really treed by this one, but all I have to say is, sorry.
As you were thinking of that, did you really think that was hilarious? And we're talking about apple records, and I'm really treed by this.
What kind of. What kind of mental process did you go through to come up with that beauty?
Do you understand? You understand why they stick you in the prudential building while you look at a non existent traffic all night long? Because my jokes real big. They really. They really suck. So how old is it? What year was that?
69. Okay. 1969.
I don't know. I think Irene is talking, but who cares?
Tony, what do you say?
[00:29:02] Speaker E: Oh, I just punched it out of my Macintosh and it came up 1968.
[00:29:08] Speaker F: You wish you were that intelligent.
[00:29:11] Speaker B: No, I'm not.
[00:29:12] Speaker E: That's why I was using the Macintosh.
[00:29:14] Speaker B: As a Macintosh apple. Don't you catch on that?
[00:29:17] Speaker F: I get it, Norm.
[00:29:18] Speaker B: Oh, I see. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Jay, what did that stem from? I've.
[00:29:23] Speaker F: That was cute.
[00:29:25] Speaker D: The forbidden fruit.
[00:29:27] Speaker B: If you think I'm gonna say Jack's jokes are rotten to the. You got another.
Okay. Apple records actually were started in 1965.
Thank you, Glenn. And so I think Irene, who said 1964.
Holy. Was the closest. Yeah, she was the closest.
[00:29:45] Speaker D: Well, the hippie I should have known that.
[00:29:47] Speaker B: Yeah, she really is. She sounds like she's out of it, but she's really with it.
[00:29:52] Speaker E: Oh, yeah.
[00:29:53] Speaker B: She's cool. You're wicked neat.
[00:29:54] Speaker E: Top of her game.
[00:29:55] Speaker B: Yeah, you're wicked neat. Irene, the fact that we don't want to hear a word you're saying right now. Has nothing whatever to do with the way we think of you.
[00:30:03] Speaker E: We can't hear her anyway.
[00:30:09] Speaker C: Gettysburg address.
[00:30:17] Speaker E: It's like someone, like, going in and out of consciousness.
[00:30:22] Speaker B: Does that have anything to do with what we're talking about, Irene, or.
I see. Well, why did you ask?
[00:30:27] Speaker C: I just want to know if you knew.
[00:30:30] Speaker B: I see. Okay.
[00:30:32] Speaker F: Who won?
[00:30:34] Speaker B: Nobody won. We ended at a tie. We ended in a four way tie between Irene, Lynn, Jack and Tony. Therefore, I'm not sending prizes to anybody, because I'm actually behind in sending stuff up. By about six weeks. I think we weren't worthy of a prize on this game anymore, I think. Nothing.
Kristen had one correct answer, so that was good. Hey, thank you very much, Kristen. It was nice to talk with you. I appreciate you taking part in all of this.
[00:31:06] Speaker C: I had such a fun time.
Although not none. No game can top last night's game.
[00:31:13] Speaker B: Oh, yes. It was kind of fun.
[00:31:14] Speaker C: Last night was the best game I have heard in a long time.
[00:31:19] Speaker B: Listen. You hear? Do you have a voice droning on in the background? Not at all. No. Must be my imagination.
[00:31:25] Speaker C: When everybody lost control, I was just rolling on the floor.
[00:31:30] Speaker B: Hey, thank you. Anyway. Take care.
[00:31:32] Speaker F: Let's not wait.
[00:31:32] Speaker C: And.
[00:31:32] Speaker B: Tony.
[00:31:33] Speaker C: Tony.
[00:31:33] Speaker E: Yes, Kristin?
[00:31:35] Speaker C: I'll call you this weekend. I promise.
[00:31:37] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:31:38] Speaker C: So you better know who I am when I say who I am.
[00:31:41] Speaker B: Oh, I will.
[00:31:42] Speaker C: That's what I was afraid of. It's like, who?
[00:31:45] Speaker E: Oh, no.
[00:31:46] Speaker C: So I'll say, hi, Tony, it's me.
[00:31:51] Speaker B: Okay, Kristen, I think we've had enough of that.
[00:31:55] Speaker E: Oh, my. My wife's working nights this week, and.
[00:31:58] Speaker B: Whoosh.
[00:31:59] Speaker E: Got the radio on it.
[00:32:01] Speaker B: Hold on a minute. I want to say goodbye to Irene. Irene, goodbye. Hey, thank you very much. Good luck on your cigarette withdrawal.
[00:32:09] Speaker D: Thank you, Dean.
[00:32:10] Speaker B: Take care now.
[00:32:11] Speaker E: You put it in such a nice, nice way.
[00:32:15] Speaker B: And thank you to Glenn.
[00:32:17] Speaker D: Hi. I wanted to say, even though I want to say two things. Number one, I wish I could start a comedy rat pack with Tony and Jack and Wolfie. And we can call it. We could call it Warp O files. Or us.
[00:32:32] Speaker B: I'm sorry. We could call it what?
[00:32:33] Speaker D: Warp o files. You know, if you're warped, if your mind is warped.
[00:32:36] Speaker B: I see. There you go.
[00:32:38] Speaker D: And also, this is, even though I didn't win anything, this is my favorite birthday game because I finally got a chance to play with some women.
[00:32:44] Speaker E: With women. Yeah, I was thinking about that.
[00:32:46] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:32:46] Speaker E: That's why.
[00:32:47] Speaker D: Yeah, that's why I scare you.
[00:32:49] Speaker B: Okay, take care. And take care of you too, Billy, nice to talk with you and Jack. Thanks. Oh, thank you. Okay. Thank you too, Len. Of course.
[00:32:59] Speaker F: Well, thank you.
[00:33:02] Speaker B: Tony. Norm, get out of here.
[00:33:05] Speaker E: All right.
[00:33:05] Speaker B: Okay.
He didn't get a chance to hang up on me. I think I hung up on him first. But anyway, that is the dumb birthday game. Thank you very much, all those who you took part. I appreciate it.

You know, it's nice to go out for dinner in Boston. People recognize me. It's good evening, Mister Henson. Would you like a table, Mister Hindson? Would you like two tables, Mister Hindson? It's also nice to eat, really eat. So sometimes I head for the Hilltop, Hilltop steakhouse where I can always find something thick and juicy. And when I leave, both me and my wallet feel pleasantly full. But when I arrive, its something different. Its Tommy hoo. Heres your number. Getting line wide bodies to the left. If you want Bostons best steak, youre going to have to wait. So naturally, both me and my appetite were pleased to hear about hilltops new way to beat the lines. All you do is phone in, they give you a number, and when you arrive, theyre ready for you. After 40 years, theyve found a way to improve Bostons best steak. And for once of my life, I'm glad I'm a number and not a name. 168 for George City. Just phone hilltop steakhouse at 233-7700. That's 233-7700 okay, the time has now come about 16 minutes before 04:00. We have a lot of open lines now and our phone number is two 5410 30, area code 617. Tuesday morning, August 11. And I'd love very much to hear from you if you get a chance to call and we'll just, we'll just visit and talk for a little bit. I think that would be just so darn nice. The five day WBZ ACCu weather forecast from meteorologist Roy gallant calls for clear to partly cloudy skies throughout the rest of this night with temperatures ranging from 61 to 66 degrees. And during the day on Tuesday, clouds and sun, steamy kind of day. Strong thunderstorms will be in the area late in the afternoon and early evening with high temperatures near 90 degrees.
Tuesday night, clearing breezy, much cooler lows about 61.
Wednesday, sunny to partly cloudy, less humid on Wednesday with high temperatures about 80 degrees. And then Thursday, sunshine giving way to clouds. Highs 76.
Friday, cloudy and cool with showers. High temperatures 70 to 74 degrees.
And that's my forecast. Thank you so much. 60, about 66 degrees in Boston now. 66, 67 degrees right in that general area.
15 minutes before 04:00. It's quiet now, so it'd be a good time to call two. 5410 30, area code 617. We'll have news at four. And then, of course, beginning at five, the but WBZ morning team takes over, Gary LaPierre and Gil Santos, Elliot Abrams and the whole crew, Jackie Goddard and other names furnished upon request.
Dev Lawler, Don batting. Quite a lineup, I tell you, and they cover the news beautifully. So if you want to know what's going on, stay tuned to WB, Xenoinga's news and information station.
Right now. It's coming up to, I think I just told you the time, 13 minutes before 04:00 here at the WBZ. I'm sorry, did I leave somebody out?
13 before four here at WBZ. Red Sox lost last night. They lost to the Cleveland Indians by a score of eight to five.
And they play Cleveland again, out at Cleveland, a night game on Tuesday night. This coming night, Frank Viola, who will be going for his 11th win. His record is ten and seven. He'll be on the run for the Red Sox. Somehow it's kind of hard to get all that excited about the Red Sox, even though I've been a fan of the team for a long time. Right now, I was just looking for the standings there. 13 and a half games out, fourth place in the American League east and just barely ahead of Detroit.
14 games, a half a game ahead of Detroit and a game and a half ahead of New York. Cleveland on the bottom, 16 games out. Toronto leading the league, three games ahead of Baltimore and five games ahead of Milwaukee. And that's my analysis. Thank you. Let's check the Massachusetts all the New England lottery numbers. Massachusetts daily lottery number 6130.
The $100,000 mass cash game 614 1822 and 30 tri state daily one, eight, one and 29. 31 Rhode Island 5783 and Connecticut 685 and 8204 9254-1030 area code is 617.
Let me see. Oh, yeah, they had a weird, not a weird vote, but I guess it's a sign of the times. Out of Clarksburg, Massachusetts, which is a town in the Berkshire mountains in western Massachusetts, they took a vote on five proposals to raise property taxes for town services. Apparently, the town is in some very bad financial straits. I guess there's a whole lot of towns are. And so yesterday they came to a vote, among other things, to vote on whether they were going to fund the police department, which was out for some time because the police officers were not getting paid. And among those proposals defeated in the election yesterday were measures to fund the town's police and fire departments, keep the streetlights on and keep a full kindergarten program. And they had a tremendous turnout, too. There was no apathy at Clarksburg. More than half of the town's 1032 voters cast ballots. And when you get a 50% turnout, that's really something special. The $42,000 public school question went down to defeat.
They rejected funds for the police department and for the fire department.
The $11,500 for streetlights went down and $12,000 for the town hall, all defeated.
The town's fiscal department sank to a new low last month when the six member police department, which has not been paid for three months, they resigned en masse. All the police department members, all six of them, resigned. And the part time officers returned a few weeks later when a town resident shelled out enough money to keep them going for a while, somebody in town paid $1,000 of his own money to keep up patrols temporarily. In previous votes, residents rejected such override questions twice since May. So they just, they're just not voting for money at all out there. That's been pretty much the case at town meetings and town elections all over the state pretty generally, but usually not quite so severe as that when so many departments are at stake. But that's Clarksburg, and maybe you haven't heard of it. It's a pretty town out in the western part of Massachusetts, out in the Berkshires.
I thought this was kind of a funny story out of Nashville, Tennessee.
Among the amid the current rage in country music dance clubs, and I guess country music is making some sort of progress. A whole lot of people who claim they hate and they never liked this kind of music before starting to talk in terms of actually enjoying it.
And that includes me, a lot of it. I think it's kind of fun. Anyway, a man named Billy Ray Cyrus has emerged with a hit called Achy Breaky Heart, a song which has inspired a dance called the achy breaky.
Sounds like something out of the Three Stooges movie. The achy breaky is right up there with the tush push and the cotton eyed Joe at the nation's 1200 country music dance clubs.
These dance clubs, dancing to western music. And I know a lot of places teach you how to dance western style and all that. And a lot of people are getting a big kick out of it. The number of such clubs, as a matter of fact, has doubled in the past 18 months. In Nashville, there are three such clubs in a 1 mile stretch, including one that was a disco until a few months ago. So this is the big move to the. To the current. I wonder if. I wonder if that'll happen with some of those hip clubs along Lansdowne street near Fenway park. One will end up being a country, you think, a country dance thing? No, I guess maybe not. Anyway, many of these clubs do offer dance lessons. A few even have brought back the mechanical bulls, remember, that were popularized in the movie the urban cowboy a decade ago. But anyway, the newest thing, because I know you're interested in knowing what's happening today.
And the newest is the dance, the achy breaky from achy breaky heart. Thank you just so much. Boy, it is a deadly quiet. Now listen, listen. You can hear how quiet it is.
Two. 5410 30. Area code is 617. So let me. Let me hear from you and just call and say hello. And that would be just a darn night. When it comes to Boston traffic, no one covers you like WBC News Radio 1030. Now the CB's Samaritan with a fleet of three vans canvas Route 93, Route 128, the central artery and the expressway. Weekday mornings and afternoon, the CV's Samaritan helps stranded motorists and provides commuters with on scene traffic information. 14 years of experience and now three CB's american vans. Just another reason why WBZ's traffic on the threes has you covered like no other. Only on WBZ News Radio 1030.
Okay. Eight minutes before four here at WBZ. Norm Nathan with you throughout the night until 05:00 this morning. This is the Bob Rawley Show. Bob is on vacation this week and he'll be back next week. And I wish he'd be back right this minute. I had never seen it this quiet. Okay, two 5410 30 again, the area code is 617. Hold on a minute while I. I rattled some papers in here and come up with some really swell things to tell you about.
Actually, I tell you, there's not a whole lot I can't tell you about.
There's a swell story here about Governor Ann Richards of Texas raising bees. Somehow or other, it's very hard for me to get too totally excited about that. Okay, we'll just.
Okay. Something Lynn Palumbo was saying. Somebody called and wanted me to talk about my chickens because. What? They have chickens and they were attacked by wild animals? Well, that happens, you know. Oh, no, mine have not been attacked lately. We did have some problems with. I think a weasel at one time had gotten into the chicken coop, did a terrible damage. I'm not sure it was. Might have been a weasel. Somebody was guessing that and did a whole lot of damage to them. One point. You don't want me to talk about that. Not terribly interesting.
I don't think so.
There was one other thing I wanted to mention. The call for action. WBZ, proud to be the home of the award winning call for action. There are a lot of things that are happening and you're wondering what the solutions may be. Or maybe you have a legal problem or something like that, and you don't know who to turn to. The call for action is a great number to know about. It's now in its 21st year of operation.
So many people solve their consumer problems. So do call. Call for action. They're standing by. Monday through Friday, 11:00 a.m. to 01:30 p.m. it's free. It's confidential. So do let call for action. Make your day. If you're having, again, a problem with some consumer problem or some legal thing you're wondering about, do call them.
Just talk with anybody who's used call for action. I'll tell you what an efficient, excellent service it is. 617-787-2300 just down, even if you don't need it right this minute. 617-787-2300 okay, we got the phone lines lighting up. And let's take some calls as a result of. Eric up in Lowell, for example, is on the line with us. Hi, Eric.
[00:46:28] Speaker E: Hey, Norman. How you doing, buddy?
[00:46:30] Speaker B: I'm doing okay there.
[00:46:31] Speaker E: Yeah, I just had to call you and say hi, you know.
[00:46:34] Speaker B: Well, I'm glad you did that. What are you doing? Oh, yeah, somebody had called earlier during the night. He was wondering, since he has trouble sleeping, he wondered why other people were up at this time of the day. And he thought I ought to ask people who called every now and then just why that was. Why are you up now?
[00:46:51] Speaker E: I'm making donuts.
[00:46:53] Speaker B: I see. Hey, that's. That's a good reason. You have a donut shop in Lowell?
[00:46:57] Speaker E: Yeah, yeah, I work at the donut shack in Lowell.
[00:47:00] Speaker B: Oh, it's called the donut shack. And you're. Are you open for business right now?
[00:47:04] Speaker E: No, no, I'm just making the donuts and filling them up and getting them ready to open up in the morning.
[00:47:09] Speaker B: What time do you open up?
[00:47:11] Speaker E: Five. You know, we open up at five.
[00:47:13] Speaker B: Oh, and a little bit more than.
[00:47:15] Speaker E: You gotta work all night to get them up there in the morning, though. I love your show. So.
[00:47:19] Speaker B: Hey, thank you. I appreciate that. I appreciate you calling. Thanks. A millionaire.
[00:47:23] Speaker E: Listen.
[00:47:23] Speaker B: Yes?
[00:47:24] Speaker E: How's everything going over there? You guys been busy or what?
[00:47:27] Speaker B: Well, you know, we're starting to get a lot of calls. All our lines are filled up, though.
[00:47:34] Speaker E: Okay. I'll let you go, Norman. You have a good night, okay?
[00:47:36] Speaker B: Okay, Eric, thank you very much. I hope you will call again. Good to talk with you. No, it was quiet for a while, but it's gotten busy again. We have Eddie in Pittsburgh. Is that where you are?
[00:47:45] Speaker E: I know.
[00:47:46] Speaker B: Are you in the city of Pittsburgh?
[00:47:47] Speaker E: Yes. Pittsburgh, Mass.
[00:47:48] Speaker B: Oh, Fitchburg.
[00:47:49] Speaker E: Yes.
[00:47:50] Speaker B: I see. Okay, I got you. How's it going out in Fitchburg?
[00:47:53] Speaker E: Oh, it's pretty. It's a pretty night. There's a moon.
[00:47:56] Speaker B: Yeah, there's a full moon out today.
[00:47:58] Speaker E: We'll have some native tomatoes next month.
[00:48:01] Speaker B: Okay, that's. That's kind of nice. There's nothing like native tomatoes. The tomatoes that you buy in stores now, boy, tastes like cardboard. Do you grow your own tomatoes?
[00:48:09] Speaker E: No, I don't. I used to.
[00:48:11] Speaker B: Do you have neighbors who grow tomatoes?
[00:48:13] Speaker E: I do.
[00:48:14] Speaker B: Do they give you some?
[00:48:15] Speaker E: Oh, yes.
[00:48:15] Speaker B: Because that's the best way. Most people, you know, most. Most everybody, the tomatoes all come up at one time. And so most people who grow them in their gardens have more tomatoes than they know what to do with. And so this is the time to cash in on that. And. Boy.
[00:48:30] Speaker E: Listen, do you have time for a quick joke?
[00:48:32] Speaker B: Sure.
[00:48:33] Speaker E: Okay, listen. God's lawyer dies and goes to heaven, right? Do you understand what I said?
[00:48:39] Speaker B: Did you say God's lawyer?
[00:48:40] Speaker E: Yes.
[00:48:41] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:48:42] Speaker E: So he's up in heaven and St. Peter's riding him around trying to decide where he's going to live. So they get to the condominiums in the apartment building. He says, oh, this is beautiful. St. Peter says, no, this is where the protestant people live. You're not going to live here.
So they get to the mansions, and he says, no, this is where the catholic people live. You're not going to live here. So it goes on and on, you know. You're not going to live here. You're not going to live here. So they get to the Taj Mahal.
He says, you're going to live here, my son. He says, oh, this is wonderful. He says, you're going to be the first lawyer.
[00:49:22] Speaker B: Am I missing something?
[00:49:24] Speaker E: I said it wrong.
[00:49:26] Speaker B: Either that or my ears are hearing wrong. I didn't.
[00:49:29] Speaker E: I can't think of how it goes. The punchline.
[00:49:32] Speaker B: Oh, well, I appreciate you attempting that anyway. Oh, jeez. Okay, let's go to Doris and Marshville quickly. Hi, Doris. Good morning. Hi, Norm. I just wanted to. You sound so. You sound so down on the dumpsters. Well, I just got home from the hospital today, and I'm in a bad way, and I just wanted to put in a good word for the mts around here.
You want to put a good word in for who? You know, the paramedics. Oh, I see. Okay. The EMTs? Is that what you said? Is that what they are? Emergency medical technicians called 911. Yes. Yeah. And they came and helped me because I couldn't breathe.
Yeah. Can you breathe now?
I feel better now. Oh, that's good. I'm glad to hear that, Doris.
I just thought I'd say that because I don't think they get enough accolades for what they do.
That's probably so. Okay. I'm glad you're feeling better. Doris and I thank you very, very much for taking the time to call. Let's go to Dolores in Burlington. Hi, Dolores.
[00:50:44] Speaker C: Hi, Norm. How are you today?

[00:51:08] Speaker B: Oh, that's good. So you could get some company there anyway.
[00:51:11] Speaker C: Yeah, there's usually maybe four or five of us. Most of them just went home now, though, and we play your birthday game with you all the time.

No, off. It's off now, but they didn't have off then. They had some. Some other stuff.
[00:51:53] Speaker C: I don't remember. Remember they used to stamp your hand and you hold it on the light?
[00:51:56] Speaker B: That's right.

Dont believe anyone that tells you its hooey because its not. Throw in mercury in retrograde, some northern lights or any other cosmic event and you may as well line your roof with tin foil and hunker down till it all passes.
