We have a show here that has all the fixings. Dinner and dessert, if you will. Two dumb birthday games from November 26th and 27th, 1994.

In what year was Curtis Brady given the first permit to operate a motor vehicle in Central Park? Episode 211, stuffed with silliness, bastes its way to your ears in three, two and one. [00:01:46] Speaker B: That's okay. That's okay. No, I'm. I'm just. I'm just so pleased that you have a chance to play with us, even though you have. You live such a busy life. [00:01:55] Speaker C: Oh, I know. [00:01:56] Speaker D: It's. It's. It's sad. I'm just so pleased that you're letting me play the game. [00:02:02] Speaker B: Well, you haven't played it, I think, for about four minutes, so. I don't know. I'm just. I'm just making bad jokes. [00:02:08] Speaker D: Okay. [00:02:09] Speaker B: I'm glad to have you with us. We also have. We have James, who's in the state of Connecticut. Hi, James. Hi, Norm. [00:02:15] Speaker E: How are you? [00:02:16] Speaker B: Good. Where in Connecticut are you? Thompson. Thompson, Connecticut. I've been there, but I can't quite place it. Where would that be? Oh, that's. You know where Webster, Mass. [00:02:26] Speaker F: Is? [00:02:26] Speaker B: Yes. Yeah, it's next town over. Oh, okay. You're just across the border in this from central Massachusetts. Yeah. Okay, good. Nice to have you with us. Thank you. Nice to be here. Priscilla is in Salem. Hello, Priscilla. [00:02:40] Speaker G: Hi. How are you? [00:02:41] Speaker B: Good. You're in my neck of the woods up in Essex County. That's. [00:02:44] Speaker G: Well, I was in your neck of the Wood yesterday at Angelica's for Thanksgiving dinner. [00:02:48] Speaker B: Oh, did you. Were you at Angelica? That's a nice place. [00:02:51] Speaker G: Oh, it was great. [00:02:53] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right in the heart of downtown, throbbing Middleton Square. [00:02:57] Speaker G: Well, they've changed that. Middleton Square. It looks great. [00:03:00] Speaker B: Yeah, we have a few more stores now. It's kind of funny. I spoke once before the Board of Trade, which is like the Chamber of Commerce, a few years ago in Middleton, which is my town. As you know, I've lived there for a lot of years and there were about four people there because we had no businesses. We had the postmaster, I believe, and the Martins who were in the drugstore, and a couple of other hardware store owners, I think. And that was about it. Now I tell you, we even have travel agencies and everything. Just like a real town. [00:03:31] Speaker G: You have to wait five minutes to get through those lights sometimes. [00:03:34] Speaker B: No, sometimes. That's right. At that time, we never had traffic lights ever. We still don't have parking meters, so we're still holding out. [00:03:41] Speaker G: Oh, well, that's good. Okay, I have everything. [00:03:44] Speaker B: Well, no, I'm not sorry about not having parking meetings. [00:03:47] Speaker G: I cannot. [00:03:48] Speaker B: Okay, we have. Oh, Ken is in Waltham. Ken, welcome. It's nice to have you with us. [00:03:52] Speaker H: Oh, hello. [00:03:53] Speaker I: How are you? [00:03:55] Speaker B: Wow. I'm just fine, thank you. Is this the first time you played the game with us? [00:03:58] Speaker I: Yeah, yeah, on the radio. [00:04:01] Speaker B: Oh, I see. But sometimes you can sort of do it in your own mind. At home. When you're listening, you mean? [00:04:05] Speaker I: Yeah. [00:04:06] Speaker B: Play along. Okay. Well, this is a chance then for you to win one of the worthless prizes that we have the past couple of days. The some members of our staff actually have won. And as a result, they don't actually get a prize because they're not entitled to it since they work here. So I haven't had to send out anything for the past couple of days, but I hope to send one out maybe to you or to. To Priscilla or Ken on New York. You are Ken? Yeah, Priscilla or James or Dee Dee or Brian Menden again may win. Brian is with the. With is our production. With our production staff here. He's with our production staff. That sounds really fancy. I don't even know what I'm talking about. [00:04:49] Speaker H: There is no production staff. [00:04:51] Speaker B: I mean, you're the production staff. He's a producer, produces this very program. So you obviously have risen to the top of your craft. [00:05:00] Speaker H: I'm at the peak of my career. How sad is that? [00:05:04] Speaker B: Yeah, that's kind of tough when. This is it. I don't Know what you can do to rise higher than us? [00:05:08] Speaker H: I don't know. I think I'm Kid company. [00:05:11] Speaker B: Is Kid Company higher than us? [00:05:13] Speaker H: Kid company booted me out. They no longer want me in there. They say I'm too childish to be on Kid company. [00:05:18] Speaker B: Upton Bell and Norm Risha is that higher with their sports stuff. [00:05:22] Speaker I: There's always that show on Channel 7 and 9am you know, they always tease that guy on staff. What's his Name? [00:05:29] Speaker B: On Channel 7 at 9:00am oh, you know, from New York. [00:05:32] Speaker H: Is that Regis and Kathie Lee? [00:05:34] Speaker I: Yeah, they always tease that guy. [00:05:36] Speaker H: Oh, that's Gelman. Or not Gelman. Gelman. [00:05:39] Speaker B: Gelman, Gelman. Oh, I see. Yeah. No, I don't very often see that. [00:05:44] Speaker H: I don't either. [00:05:44] Speaker B: I think Regis Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford are probably the two most boring people. Do you find that to be so. Or am I just. Am I just being overly critical? [00:05:57] Speaker I: I think there are cut above the rest of the talk shows on tv. [00:06:00] Speaker B: Well, that's. They haven't. [00:06:01] Speaker H: They have their highest rated. They're in the number one time slot right now. [00:06:04] Speaker B: Are they really? [00:06:05] Speaker H: Yeah, number one show in the morning. So I don't know if she's kind of, you know, goofy and I suppose. [00:06:11] Speaker B: Because they kind of just sit and he says last night I went to a party and they served cake with a lot of rich chocolate frosting on it was. And something. Some Jimmy sprinkled on top in between. [00:06:26] Speaker H: He goes, all right, all right, everybody. All right. Regis Melbourne. All right. [00:06:31] Speaker B: Well, of course compared to the other shows, at least it's, it maybe has some dignity. The other shows are kind of weird stuff like. Well, talk shows where, where somebody, you know has had sexual relations with their mother in law or their. Or their brother's wife's cousins. Sisters. Dog. Yeah, that's right. If you've never gone to bed with a Newfoundland dog, you've never really. I mean some of them are so seedy. It's so awful. I suppose Peggy Lee and we're not who we talk but Kathy Lee. Kathy Lee Gifford maybe they're a refreshing. You can tell what generation I come from. [00:07:09] Speaker H: You've seen that show. Well, I think they're up against Jenny Jones in Donahue. Donahue's not too bad. But Jenny Jones is more of the old mudslinging. [00:07:18] Speaker B: Well, yeah, she's, she's. Yeah, lesbians and, and people who had a one night stand on a cruise ship. [00:07:24] Speaker H: Right. [00:07:25] Speaker B: And now they're going to meet again for the first time since four Years when they had the illicit sex. Now they're going to meet to meet again. I mean, some of them are. It's hard for me even to talk about them, and yet they do whole programs like that. Okay, listen, you women keep coming out and keep modeling Fredericks of lingerie. Lingerie. Yeah, that's okay. Okay. Anyway, we also. Oh, I'm sorry, we got Jack Hart. I'm not sorry that we have Jack Hart. I don't mean that Jack about me. [00:07:55] Speaker F: And then insult me to vote. [00:07:56] Speaker B: No, no, I would insult you to boot. Boots. Speaking of that. [00:08:00] Speaker H: Insult you? [00:08:01] Speaker B: Yeah, we have people who've fallen in love with boots. Yeah. And have relations with them. I don't know what I'm saying. [00:08:10] Speaker F: Well, don't you remember that famous song. [00:08:12] Speaker B: Boot of My Heart? Yeah, I don't remember that one at all. How does it go? Oh, stop it. Okay, Norm, I have a question. Yes. Real quick. Yes. [00:08:26] Speaker I: How can they have a. How can they do a commercial where they have all those excerpts from the wizard of Oz? Isn't that copyright. [00:08:34] Speaker B: Yes, it is. But if it's a commercial. Now, what commercial is that? That does that. [00:08:38] Speaker H: That was the. The Beezy promo for the morning news team, I think it was. [00:08:43] Speaker B: Yeah, I guess we can. We can play little bits of that. Yeah, I don't know. They probably have it covered because you can bet that it's. It's got to be legal because they have a. They have a staff here at Westinghouse composed of 750 hungry lawyers. So it's probably okay. And the first thing lawyers ever tell you in this business, and I've dealt with them in the past on other things where they will say, oh, you can't do that. Oh, no, you can't. That's the first thing that comes out of their mouth. Then they investigate to see whether you really can or cannot. And not so much here. There's people here are pretty good that way, but I worked at another station where there was like that, um. Oh, you can't do that. No, I just. No, see, I'm just having a couple on who just met at a dating service. I want to see how it worked. You can't have that. Oh, no, that's plugging. The dating service is free. No, you can't. What am I talking about? Anybody know? [00:09:38] Speaker F: I'm not sure. [00:09:39] Speaker D: Really? [00:09:40] Speaker G: Sounds good. [00:09:42] Speaker B: It doesn't even sound good, as a matter of fact. But I appreciate the compliment. Okay. Today's the birthday of Charles M. Schulz, who was the creator of Peanuts and the Snoopy Gang. Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1950, he started out in eight papers, and now his income is estimated at $5 million a year. He's in tons of newspapers all around the world. In fact, I've seen Peanuts cartoons in Italian in notebooks, and I mean all over every place, in every language you can think of. Charles M. Schultz. Anyway, Dee Dee, how old do you think he is? [00:10:18] Speaker D: 73. [00:10:19] Speaker B: 73. Okay. And James? [00:10:22] Speaker E: 68. [00:10:24] Speaker B: Priscilla, what do you think? [00:10:25] Speaker G: Oh, he's got to be 76 if he's a day. [00:10:28] Speaker F: Yeah, That's. That's the spirit. [00:10:30] Speaker B: I'm so glad we got that out of our system. Right at the very beginning. Trombones, 76. Trombones is good, too. [00:10:38] Speaker G: Yes, that's what I got her. [00:10:40] Speaker B: Yeah, that's good, too. Ken, what do you say? [00:10:42] Speaker I: I think he's way up there. He's older. I think he's probably about 89. [00:10:50] Speaker B: 89 years old. Okay. And his hand. You can tell when you. When you. By the Peanuts comic strip. You look at Peanuts and Snoopy especially. And his line. The lines are very shaky. [00:11:03] Speaker F: Well, that's where Charlie Brown got that zigzag on his shirt. [00:11:06] Speaker B: That's right. That's right. Brian, what do you think? [00:11:11] Speaker H: I'll say he's 74. [00:11:13] Speaker B: 74. Okay. And Jack? [00:11:16] Speaker F: 75. [00:11:17] Speaker B: 75. Actually, Charles M. Schultz would be highly insulted by ken, who said 89, because he's 72. You're kidding. No, he's 72. I got that from two different sources. We check a lot to make sure that we're totally accurate. No, no. And so Dee Dee, who said 73, was the winner of that round. Are you excited, Dee Dee? [00:11:41] Speaker D: Yes, absolutely. I love stupid, you know, Presents, gifts, prizes. Okay. [00:11:49] Speaker B: I'm sorry. You're speaking English, aren't you? And I didn't quite follow what you said. [00:11:53] Speaker D: Let me check. Yeah, thanks. [00:11:56] Speaker B: Okay. This Robert Goulet. Today is Robert Goulet's birthday. Or as we say, Robert Goulet. Well, maybe we don't really say that. No, I guess maybe we shouldn't have said that. But he's from. He's from. He was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Connolly lived there till he was about three days old. I don't think he lived there too long, but he was born there. It's kind of interesting because he then he married Carol Lawrence. That interesting. Born in Lawrence, married Carol Lawrence. Yes. Okay. Anyway, his biggest hit was My Love, Forgive Me, which was in 1964. Pay attention after these dates, which will give you a clue as to how old these people are? Father of actress Nicolette Goulet. I never heard of her. Have you? Neither have I. Pardon me. [00:12:48] Speaker I: Is he married to Edie Gourmet? [00:12:50] Speaker F: No, that's. [00:12:51] Speaker B: No, that's Steve Lawrence. No, I see you're getting mixed up because he was married to Carol Lawrence and Steve Lawrence is married to Edie Gourmet. Although if she were married to him, they could be the great team of Goulet and Gourmet. [00:13:05] Speaker F: Yeah, that would be nice, because Steve Lawrence is from the fabulous Gourmet, Pennsylvania. See, people marry. Entertainers marry people with last names from their hometown. [00:13:20] Speaker B: There's not a bit of truth to that and you know it. So go back into your corner and stop that. Okay? Okay. Anyway, what else can I tell you about Robert Cray? In recent months, he toured as King Arthur with a revival of stage presentation of Camelot. When I saw. When I saw the play, when it first opened, he was Lancelot. Or as we say, Lancelot. He's the one. He was in that. And it was Richard Burton who was the king. King. King Arthur. And the Lady Guinevere was played by Julie Andrews. And now they revived it and he's older. And so Robert Gray is now the King. Films include Naked Gun two and a half. He's recorded over 40 albums and like that. Robert. Robert Goulet. Okay, we'll start with you, Jack. How old do you think Robert Goulet is? Robert Goulet. Robert Goulet, that's not married to any Gourmet. [00:14:26] Speaker F: Let's see, What'd you say, 56 was his first hit? [00:14:35] Speaker B: No, 64 was his big hit. My Love, Forgive Me. [00:14:39] Speaker F: Yes, I know there was a six in there. [00:14:40] Speaker B: Yeah, you know how that goes. My love, forgive me. I don't even remember that song. [00:14:43] Speaker F: Oh, I don't know that one. [00:14:44] Speaker B: My love, forgive me. I back just like an ass. My love, forgive me, you beautiful lass. You playing his record, Norm? Sounded like that, didn't it? Didn't sound like a cheap invitation. Sounded like the real thing, didn't it? Okay, let's see. [00:15:06] Speaker F: Robert Goulet. [00:15:08] Speaker B: Robert. 66. 66, okay. And the. And Brian, what do you think? [00:15:15] Speaker H: I'll say he's 64. [00:15:17] Speaker B: 64, okay. What do you think, Ken? You probably think he's 105. [00:15:23] Speaker I: No, I think he's 64 also. [00:15:25] Speaker B: 64 also. Okay. And Priscilla? [00:15:28] Speaker G: Oh, 59. [00:15:30] Speaker B: Oh, 59, okay. Okay, James. Well, he's not quite getting a social. Social Security check yet. So he's 60 years old. 60, okay. Of course. According to Jack Hart, he is. Jack was actually 66, but you never know. That's no clue. Dee Dee, what do you think? [00:15:51] Speaker D: 63. [00:15:52] Speaker B: 63. Okay. The fact is, he is not getting a Social Security check. James was absolutely right. In fact, James was one of the ones who was the closest because Robert Goulet actually 61 today. So James said 60 and Priscilla said 59. Wait a minute. No, 59 is two years off. What am I doing here? No, no, it's just. It's just James. Yeah, just James who was within one year and nobody else was. Yeah. So James wins that. I'm sorry, Priscilla. I got you all worked up. Listen, if I can get a woman worked up, even for a couple of seconds, I think it's feathering my cap. [00:16:34] Speaker G: Well, if you didn't get me worked up, you're doing well. [00:16:40] Speaker B: So here's a guy can't get a woman worked up trying to get a woman worked up who never gets worked up. So what are we talking about? I don't know. Tina Turner also was born on November 26th. As you know, born Annie Mae Bullock in Nutbush, Tennessee. Her name is posted on the city limit sign. She has a song called Nutbush City Limits. Ike and Tina Turner were a husband, wife singing duo till they separated in 1976. Their biggest hit was Proud Mary in 1971. The violent breakup left Tina on welfare before her giant comeback. Her biggest hit recording was what's Love Got To Do With it. That was in 1984, which also became the title of a movie about her life in 1993, which I thought was an exciting movie. Yeah. Tell me the name of the woman who played her. [00:17:38] Speaker H: Angela Bassett. [00:17:38] Speaker B: Bassett. Angela Bassett. Who was superb. I thought she was great. I love that movie. The musical scenes, I thought they were great. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That's Tina Turner. The only thing that bothered me is when the end of the movie, when the real Tina Turner came, it kind of spoiled the whole illusion, I thought. Did you. [00:17:59] Speaker H: Oh, they actually had the real Tina Turner in. [00:18:02] Speaker B: Yeah. Played her right till the very end. And then at the very last. Last of the movie, in came Tina Turner singing. The real Tina Turner. [00:18:11] Speaker F: You know, they did the same thing with Rosemary Clooney. [00:18:15] Speaker B: Are you actually. [00:18:16] Speaker H: Yes, they did. [00:18:17] Speaker B: And what was that? What's their movie about? Rosemary Clooney. Yep. [00:18:21] Speaker F: What Charman got to do with it? No, it was a. There was a story. Excuse me, Coronet. There was a. There was a movie about her life. I think it might have even been a made for TV deal. And then at the end, they had a little bit of contra concert footage type of thing in the real Rosemary. [00:18:40] Speaker B: Clooney, who played the. Who played her because she sings very well. It'd be tough. [00:18:46] Speaker H: Was it Clint Eastwood's girlfriend? [00:18:48] Speaker F: Eastwood's girlfriend. [00:18:49] Speaker H: Sandra Locke. [00:18:50] Speaker B: Oh, Sandra Locke. Okay. But Rosemary Clooney must have done the soundtrack, though, that she. [00:18:55] Speaker H: Oh, I would say so, yeah. [00:18:57] Speaker B: Same thing was Angela Bassett was lip syncing Tina Turner's actual voice. Okay, let's. Let's start with you, Priscilla. How old do you think Tina Turner is today? [00:19:08] Speaker G: Oh, she's got to be 56. [00:19:12] Speaker B: 56. Okay. And Dee Dee. [00:19:14] Speaker D: 55. [00:19:16] Speaker B: You said 55. That's very nice. [00:19:20] Speaker D: Thank you. [00:19:21] Speaker B: And Brian, I'll say 54. Okay. Ken? Yeah. [00:19:27] Speaker I: I don't know why, but 47 is him stuck in my head. [00:19:30] Speaker B: Okay, we'll put. We'll put it down there right on the score sheet and get it unstuck. That's right. Yeah. James, what do you think? She is exactly 53 years old. Exactly 53. There's a man who's positive. And Jack, I'm gonna have to go with 54. 54. Okay. Her actual age is 56. So Priscilla, who almost won the last time, but didn't, has won this time. I was looking on the wrong page. She is 56. 56. Yeah. Well, you find. You find that. You said 54. You were not that far off either. I thought, you know, if you said, like 31 or something, that's why I. [00:20:13] Speaker H: Was thinking I was going to say 53. Then I said, no, I'll say 54. But I was thinking 50, you know, 53. 54. But now you think two years. I know two years doesn't seem like a lot of time, but to me, you know, I'm just. [00:20:24] Speaker B: What? I'm 12. [00:20:25] Speaker H: So, you know, one year seems older to me. [00:20:29] Speaker B: I suppose that. [00:20:30] Speaker H: A lot older. [00:20:31] Speaker B: Probably true. So we have Dee Dee and James and Priscilla all have got one apiece. [00:20:37] Speaker G: Wow. [00:20:38] Speaker B: Wow. As we go to John McVeigh. Now, there's a. There's a little tougher name. John McVeigh McVie from England, Bass guitarist for Fleetwood Mac. Okay. He's a guitar player, and he's the bass guitar player for Fleetwood Mac. Their biggest hit dreams was. Came out in 1977. So I give you that clue anyway. 1977. I'll even tell you that. That's 14 years ago. That's not 14. 70. 17 years ago. 17 years. Okay. John McBee. Okay, Ken, let's start with you. What. What do you think just because I. [00:21:18] Speaker I: Have never heard of him, I'll probably get closer. Let's see, 43. [00:21:23] Speaker B: Okay. Because it does very often happen that way. Okay, Dee Dee, I'm gonna say 49. Say that again. [00:21:35] Speaker D: 49. [00:21:36] Speaker B: Isn't that nice? 49. 49. 49 years old. James John McBee and Jack Hart. What do you think? 48. 48. Okay. And James. Well, I heard a Fleetwood Mac, but not him. But I'm gonna have to say 47. Okay. And Brian, what do you say? [00:22:01] Speaker H: That's what came to my mind. 47. [00:22:03] Speaker B: 47 also. And Priscilla? [00:22:05] Speaker G: Oh, he's young. He's only 35. [00:22:09] Speaker B: I see. Okay. Actually, he's older than that, so don't be so cocksure of yourself there, Priscilla. No, that's true. Actually, he's 48. And that's what Jack Hart said, 48, but alive. You were very close, all of you. Except you, Priscilla. [00:22:29] Speaker G: I know. [00:22:31] Speaker B: And it's a shame you're so far off. [00:22:33] Speaker G: It is a shame. [00:22:34] Speaker B: Oh, it's pitiful. It's just pitiful. [00:22:35] Speaker I: I did it with Charles Soul. [00:22:38] Speaker B: Well, everybody does it with somebody once in a while. Whatever that means. Okay, you never heard of Jack McVeigh? John McVeigh? Okay, how about Rich Little? You've heard of him, the impressionist who said to have over 150 impressions. We had him on a program I did once and we did a promotional, kind of a little 20 second teaser thing, you know, to play at other times of the day, saying, listen to Rich Little. He'll be on with us. And then he did about five impressions in about 10 seconds. Going from one to the other, you know, without even stopping to think about it. Each one perfect. He's absolutely brilliant. He's from Ottawa, Canada. And that's all the clues I can give you. So we'll start with you, Jack. What do you think? How old is Rich Little? Rich Little. [00:23:26] Speaker F: Of course, these days, everybody all sounds the same in his impressions. They all sound like Mel Blanc. [00:23:34] Speaker B: Wait a minute. All of what? Rich Little does sound like Mel Blanc. [00:23:39] Speaker F: No, it's the same thing as Mel Blanc. Everything sounded like Sylvester after a while. [00:23:44] Speaker B: Everything that Mel Blanc did sounded like a cartoon character. And they all sounded alike. That's true. But not Rich Little. He. Most of his. [00:23:52] Speaker F: The last couple of times I've seen him, all his. Maybe it was just a bad couple of bad nights or something on some talk shows and things over the last couple of years, but everything has just sort of come out the same. Richard Nixon sounded like what's his name. The guy with the chin and the. [00:24:09] Speaker B: Guy with the chin with. [00:24:10] Speaker F: The guy with the. Kirk Douglas. [00:24:12] Speaker B: Oh, I see. I see. Okay. Well, that's the kind of act I could do. Yeah, I could. I could imitate a lot of people like that. I'd like to invitate. Here's my invitational example of Tom Cruise. Hello, everybody. I hope you're all feeling fine. And I'd like to introduce one of my dear friends, Jack Benny. Well, hello, I'm Jack Benny. And I'd like to introduce you to Arthur Godfrey. Is that Rich Little Ways Today? Has he deteriorated into that? [00:24:44] Speaker F: Pretty much. [00:24:45] Speaker B: I see. And he's my imitation of Kirk Douglas. Hello, I'm Kirk Douglas. See my dipple in my chin? Can't you tell? [00:24:54] Speaker I: I mean, you gotta admire someone who's self made like that, you know? [00:24:57] Speaker B: What's that? [00:24:57] Speaker I: You have to admire someone who's self made like that. Like Rich Little? [00:25:02] Speaker B: No, because when I've seen him, I thought his imitations did sound right on target. I thought he was pretty good, but maybe he just was having a bad night. I suppose he could have a bad night and the voices don't come out right. [00:25:13] Speaker F: Sure, we're all entitled. [00:25:15] Speaker B: We're entitled to have a bad night. How old do you think he is? Big Jack? [00:25:19] Speaker F: Oh, did I. [00:25:20] Speaker B: Did I ask you before? Did you start out last time? I started out last time. Okay, so we'll start out with Jack this time then. That'll be good. That'll be very nice. [00:25:30] Speaker F: Let's see. [00:25:32] Speaker B: Let's hitch up the horses and get out of here. It's another imitation I do really well. [00:25:41] Speaker F: Let's see. [00:25:41] Speaker B: He's got to be. How do you imitate Rich Little? [00:25:48] Speaker F: Sure, he got in this terrible accident. 35 lives flashed in front of his eyes. [00:25:54] Speaker B: He's 57. 57, okay. [00:25:58] Speaker H: And Brian, I'm gonna say he's 59. [00:26:03] Speaker B: I'm gonna say something. Was that an imitation of. [00:26:06] Speaker H: Oh, no, that was just. Yeah, that was me. I can't even do. I can't even do my own voice well enough, you know, I'm gonna try some other voices. I don't think so. [00:26:13] Speaker B: Okay, Ken, tell us how old you think Richard Little is. We'll listen closely to your voice and see if we can imitate you. [00:26:19] Speaker I: I think it's 54. [00:26:21] Speaker H: I think he's 54. [00:26:22] Speaker B: Yeah, that's good. That's good. I think we get you down. Okay, Priscilla? [00:26:27] Speaker G: Oh, I think he and Tina Turner are both 56. [00:26:31] Speaker B: I'll go with that. Okay. 56. Yeah. All right. And James? Oh, he's really young. He's 53. He's real young. 53. Okay. And dd I have to go along with Brian. [00:26:42] Speaker D: I think he's about 59. [00:26:44] Speaker B: Okay. Rich Little is actually 56. [00:26:48] Speaker G: See, I told you. [00:26:49] Speaker B: Okay, so Priscilla, hit that in the button. [00:26:52] Speaker G: And don't make fun of Tom Cruz. I got a birthday card from him. [00:26:56] Speaker B: Really? [00:26:56] Speaker G: Well, he has the same birthday as I do. [00:26:59] Speaker B: When is that? [00:27:00] Speaker G: July 3rd. [00:27:02] Speaker B: July 3rd. [00:27:03] Speaker G: Three years ago I sent him a card. And two years ago I got one from him and I did this year. [00:27:09] Speaker B: And without you sending him another card? [00:27:11] Speaker G: Well, I keep sending him a card. [00:27:12] Speaker B: Oh, you do? And so he responds to your card. [00:27:15] Speaker G: Yeah. Isn't that nice? [00:27:16] Speaker B: I think that's excellent. [00:27:18] Speaker G: I do too. [00:27:19] Speaker H: Now how does he. Does he actually sign it or is this a stamped signature or what is it? [00:27:24] Speaker G: Well, I have to believe he signed. [00:27:26] Speaker B: It feeling it stamped July 3rd. I'm looking that up right this very moment. I know he was born on July 3 is correct. He was born. Do you know what his real name is? [00:27:36] Speaker G: No. [00:27:37] Speaker B: His middle name was Cruz. He was Thomas Cruz. [00:27:40] Speaker I: Mapother. [00:27:42] Speaker B: Mapother. Is that the fourth? Mapotherapy is a fourth. [00:27:46] Speaker H: How do you get a middle name? [00:27:47] Speaker B: Cruz? [00:27:48] Speaker F: How do you get a last name? Map it. [00:27:49] Speaker G: Well, maybe his mother and father are on a cruise ship or something. [00:27:53] Speaker B: He might have been born on a cruise ship. [00:27:55] Speaker G: Yeah, well, something like that. [00:27:56] Speaker H: He might have been cruising down the highway. Yeah, they might have been cruising in. [00:28:00] Speaker B: The back seat when he was born. That's true. Yeah. Actually he was born in Syracuse, New York and yeah, Tom Cruise. He's 32 years old. Is that about your age? [00:28:12] Speaker G: Yeah, this is just about. [00:28:14] Speaker B: Okay, all right. Anyway, and I forget what the question is. There is no question. I haven't told you anybody. [00:28:23] Speaker H: That's a trick question. There is no question. [00:28:25] Speaker B: Okay, here's another person born on this day. This is another tough one. Jan Stenerud. S T E N E R U. Did you know that name? Oh yeah, pro football kicker. Sure, during his nights. During his. Yeah, it's John. John. Oh, John. You all know him. I say he's the one you may not know. I'm the only one who doesn't know him, apparently. Jan Stenerut. Okay. During his 19 year NFL career, he became the all time leader in field goals with 373 and 1,699 points. He was second leading scorer to George Blanda with 2002 points. He invented a kicking tee. That is now used by almost every kicker in the league. Spending most of his career with the Kansas City Chiefs, he became the first full time. This is your off now. You're a backstage announcer, by the way. That's why I'm whispering. He became the first full time placekicker to be enshrined in the Pro Football hall of fame in 1991. [00:29:32] Speaker I: And where is the Pro Football hall of Fame? Does anybody know? [00:29:35] Speaker B: Canton, Ohio. [00:29:36] Speaker I: Yes, very good. [00:29:37] Speaker B: Yes, I knew that part. I just didn't know that Jan was. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan Stannarut. Okay, Dee Dee, what do you say? How old is Jan Stanneroot? [00:29:51] Speaker D: I had no idea who it is, so I'll say 70. [00:29:54] Speaker B: 70. Okay, 70. James, what do you say? Oh, he's 40. 40 years old. 40 years old, yeah. Okay. And Priscilla? [00:30:07] Speaker G: Oh, he's 45. [00:30:09] Speaker B: Oh, he's 45. [00:30:11] Speaker G: Never heard of him. [00:30:12] Speaker B: Well, then he must be 45 if you've never heard of him. [00:30:15] Speaker G: That's right. [00:30:16] Speaker B: Okay. Have you heard of him, Ken? [00:30:19] Speaker I: Yeah, I've heard of him, but I'm not sure when exactly he played. I was just going to say about 55. [00:30:24] Speaker B: 55. Okay. And Brian, this is gonna be a crapshoot. [00:30:29] Speaker H: I was gonna go with, boy, geez, I'll say 46. I have no idea who he is either. [00:30:36] Speaker B: Okay. Because the only, the only date I have is 1991, when he was enshrined in the Pro Football hall of Fame. But that's really no clue because could have been out of the game for a long, long time. Jack Hart. What do you think? Jack? John Stanley. [00:30:57] Speaker F: He's got to be about 47. [00:30:59] Speaker B: 47 years old. Okay, hold on just a minute. I think I just got a call from Stockholm. They've broken off relations with the United States. He's 51 years old today. And so that would mean, let me see, 51. Jack said 47. That's four years difference. [00:31:24] Speaker F: It was four years away. [00:31:26] Speaker B: Four years away. I think you had the closest. [00:31:29] Speaker I: I said 55. [00:31:30] Speaker B: You said 55 and he's 51. That's also four years away. You're right, Ken. Well, I said 40 and. Yeah, so you don't win at all. No, yours is really stupid. Yeah, it was, wasn't it? So actually Ken and Jackson both got. Got that. Jack. Jack now has. Is now tied with Priscilla with two apiece. Ken and Dee Dee and James, one apiece. And. [00:31:57] Speaker H: Oh my God, am I all alone? [00:31:59] Speaker B: Brian. Brian is all alone again. Yeah, you've been. [00:32:02] Speaker H: Sometimes I'm good and other times I'm bad. [00:32:06] Speaker B: Bad. But you have a little curl in the middle of your forehead and it's. [00:32:11] Speaker H: Just so darn cute. [00:32:13] Speaker B: It is adorable. Okay, I'm going to give you a couple of events that happened on November 26th, and if you would tell me the year they happened, that would be the answer. Okay. The film, the motion picture Casablanca, starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, had its world premiere at the Hollywood Theater in New York, and it was on this very date, November 26th. What year would that have been, Brian? What year? Jesus. [00:32:55] Speaker H: Come to me first. [00:32:56] Speaker B: Gosh, I had to come to you first. That's right. [00:33:01] Speaker H: I'll say 19. 1943. [00:33:06] Speaker B: 1943. Yes, sir. Okay. So much of that, whatever that is I'm doing. Priscilla, what do you think? What year was Casablanca? Did it have its New York premiere? [00:33:19] Speaker G: How about 1939? [00:33:22] Speaker B: It had its premiere, actually. Yeah. Hollywood Theater in New York. What year did you say? [00:33:27] Speaker G: 39. [00:33:28] Speaker B: 1939. Okay. Dee Dee? [00:33:32] Speaker D: 1941. [00:33:33] Speaker B: 41. Okay. And Jack. [00:33:36] Speaker F: Yeah, I think it was the. Before the escalation of hostilities or just at the onset therein. 39. [00:33:46] Speaker B: Also 39. Ken. [00:33:48] Speaker I: Yeah. 1941. [00:33:49] Speaker B: Also 41. And James, I want to say 44. 1944. DD no, you already guessed. Everybody's guessed. Okay. Actually, the year was 1942. 1942. So we have. See, 41 would be winners and also 43. So, Brian, you're off on the board there. You have one. And then canon. James both said canon, rather, and Dee Dee both said 41. So we have an interesting situation. We have a tie between Jack, Priscilla and Dee Dee. Do you know, remember that final scene where they're at the airport? You know, this is the one they used in the play It Again, Sam, the Woody Allen movie. They recreated that. They showed that last part of it where Humphrey Bogart is saying goodbye to Ingrid Bergman. She's going off with Paul Henriet and she wants to stay with him because she's in love with him. And he's suggesting she better go with him because in the long run that would make the most sense. And they're going off and you see planes off in the distance. Sure. Remember that? Yeah. Do you know those planes were small? Smaller than normal size, and the guys you saw working around them were midgets? No, I know it sounds like I'm making it up. I'm really not. No, no, I'm not making up. Let me explain why that is. It was during. Because we said it was 1942. It was world War Time. The war was on. And they could not film that in the open, so they had to do that inside. And as a result, I mean, they didn't have the kind of space you would have in an airfield. So everything had to be cut down to scale. And when you cut a plane down a scale which looked like it was full size, you know, in that distance, but they had a cut down the size of the people working around it, I guess you were. [00:35:43] Speaker D: Wow. [00:35:44] Speaker B: And so they were, they were small. They were, they were, they were midgets, what? They were. And that was a small plane. [00:35:51] Speaker F: So three years later, the wizard of Oz crew finally got a little bit of extra work. [00:35:55] Speaker D: Yeah, finally got. [00:35:56] Speaker B: No, actually they made the wizard of Oz in 1939. So they're probably left over from the wizard of Oz. Little guys. The little guys. The munchkins, the wizard of. Let's hire them again for this little scene. [00:36:08] Speaker F: Matter of fact, I understand that the whole, that the, that the union involved there was the Lollipop Guild. [00:36:15] Speaker B: You know, Ingrid Bergman, you know, Ingrid. [00:36:18] Speaker I: Bergman was in a wonderful film called Gaslight. [00:36:20] Speaker B: I remember that. Sure. [00:36:22] Speaker I: And you know who that featured as? As a. I think a 17 year old actress making her debut. [00:36:27] Speaker B: Was she 17 then? [00:36:28] Speaker I: No, no, no, no, not, not Inga Bergman. She was to play another role. [00:36:32] Speaker B: Yeah, but there was a. [00:36:33] Speaker I: The maid in that film was somebody who's currently on television, believe it or not. [00:36:39] Speaker B: Yeah. Now who would that be? [00:36:40] Speaker I: Angela Lansbury. [00:36:41] Speaker H: Really? [00:36:42] Speaker B: Really. Okay, now do you remember the guy in that the French shot? Charles Boyer. Yeah. He was trying to show her that she was nuts. Remember that you are crazy, my dear. You know that you are very crazy. Yeah, he was, he was a very good actor. I always thought. I thought you will meet me at the Casper and we'll fool around a lot. Okay? Is that okay with you? Maybe he didn't talk exactly that way, but that's sort of the general feeling he had for the part. [00:37:13] Speaker D: You learned that from rich little Roy. [00:37:15] Speaker B: That's right. Yeah, he taught me. Yeah. Yeah, that sounds a lot. Because all his French actors, they all sound like Maurice Avadier. Yeah. Every little breeze, you know, it blew it, huh? Oh, yeah. That sounds like I'm constipated, doesn't it? Sounds like you're saying, I know it's awful here I'm trying to be the sex symbol and I'm using words like constipation. Anyway, here's, here's one. See if you get this one. Now this is another event. This is the last one and we'll see if we can break the tie with this. Okay. Everybody enthusiastic about that? Okay. This is an event that happened also happened on November 26th. Public streetcar service began in New York City. The fare was 12 and a half cents. And here's something that'll give you somewhat of a clue. [00:38:10] Speaker F: So what, did two people have to get on at the same time in order to. [00:38:13] Speaker B: In order to make it a quarter? Yeah. Yeah, they did. Yeah. You had to bring a friend. Yeah, that's correct. Either that or paid 13 cents. And they said, why collect the other thing from the other guy who's coming on behind me? Anyway, the streetcar was the. Was the horse drawn John Mason? They did. The street car had a name maybe that we ought to name buses now. We don't name buses now, do we? Yeah. There goes the Jack Hart. There goes the Brian McKinley. Yeah. [00:38:47] Speaker H: Look at that. The Jack Hart's broken down on the roadway again. [00:38:50] Speaker B: Yeah. And the Brian McKinley ran out of gas. Just got jumped. It was too old. Anyway, the. The street car was the horse drawn John mason unveiled just 12 days earlier. [00:39:07] Speaker F: Of course, we can always name a streetcar desire. [00:39:09] Speaker B: We could do that. Yes. We couldn't. That's very good. It's very good, Jack. [00:39:14] Speaker C: So original. [00:39:15] Speaker B: Yeah. Anyway, that was it. The first public streetcar. Streetcar service began. New York City. Horse drawn. And what do you think the year was that that happened? Jake is. It'll be fun to find out, won't it? Oh, great. And we'll probably be the only people in the world who will know that date. Let's see, what do you think, James Boy, before my time. Oh, you know, I'll give you a clue. It's before all of our time. On that case, I would say probably. Boy. 1920. 1920. Okay. And Ken, and don't forget, now, this is the horse drawn. Can I change my guess? Yes. 1896. 18. Oh, 1896. Okay. [00:40:10] Speaker I: This is the horse drawn. [00:40:11] Speaker B: You know, this is horse drawn. Horse drawn. I'm trying to make that clear. It was horse drawn. Yeah. [00:40:16] Speaker F: Some of the older ones were dinosaur drawn, but they were just too big. [00:40:22] Speaker I: Oh, I was gonna guess 1908. Now I'm horse drawn. [00:40:28] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:40:29] Speaker I: 1898. [00:40:30] Speaker B: 1898 says Kent. Okay. And Jack. 1887. 1887. And Brian. [00:40:42] Speaker H: 1894. [00:40:46] Speaker B: Okay. Here comes. Here comes my street car. Here comes my street car. People used to say that then. I don't know what the next line should be. A funny line coming up. I can't figure what it is. Dee Dee, what do you think? [00:41:02] Speaker D: 1877. [00:41:04] Speaker B: 1877. You say that just kind of a lazy, kind of Sexy kind of. 1877 was when that was. I remember just so well. I was meeting a girl of mine for illicit purposes at the time when the horse drawn wagon come along. Priscilla, when do you think that was the first public streetcar? [00:41:27] Speaker G: Oh, that was 1870. I remember. [00:41:32] Speaker B: I love women. I love women. [00:41:34] Speaker D: You were there in another life. [00:41:36] Speaker B: Sure. [00:41:36] Speaker G: No, the same one. [00:41:38] Speaker B: The same. Okay, okay. The public streetcar service began in New York City. So we mentioned affair was 12 and a half cents streetcar the horse drawn James Mason and John Mason which was unveiled 12 days earlier the year actually was 1832. Oh, wow. 1833 a well developed before any. What you said. [00:42:02] Speaker F: I wasn't even sure there were streets back then. [00:42:04] Speaker B: No, there weren't. So it made it rather difficult. So they followed kind of an impromptu schedule. Let's see, the person who's the closest still will be a long way off. I think was priscilla who said 1870. [00:42:20] Speaker G: I told you I remembered it. [00:42:22] Speaker B: Yeah, but it already had happened like what, 38 years before that. [00:42:28] Speaker G: Yeah, well, I was young. [00:42:32] Speaker B: That is the most stupid explanation I've ever heard. [00:42:35] Speaker G: Well, I thought you might go for it. [00:42:37] Speaker B: Well, you know, we're pretty hip in this area. [00:42:40] Speaker G: I can see that. [00:42:41] Speaker B: Okay, you win the game though. You got three correct answers. [00:42:44] Speaker G: Yeah, see, you're making fun of me and look at that. [00:42:48] Speaker B: Well, that means that we gotta send you something tacky, tasteless and worthless and useless. [00:42:52] Speaker G: Oh, I can't. I can't wait. [00:42:54] Speaker B: Well, you'll love it too. I mean, you'll hate it. But don't return it to us, you understand? Even if you hate it. [00:42:59] Speaker G: I'd rather have one of those games you play all the time. [00:43:02] Speaker B: Well, we're gonna. As a matter of fact, we're gonna do that. Hold on a minute while I get off microphone. While I look. We're gonna play the game tonight. Saturday night as a matter of fact with. Let me see. Where is that? One moment please. [00:43:19] Speaker G: All right. [00:43:21] Speaker B: We're going to play the Tribon Game anyway. Tribon Game is what we're playing tonight. [00:43:25] Speaker G: I like that nickname. [00:43:26] Speaker F: Is that a kind of powder that'll keep you from being uncomfortable? [00:43:30] Speaker G: Oh, Lord. [00:43:31] Speaker B: I know people get that mixed up with the commercial. [00:43:34] Speaker G: I hope they don't mix it up with Oval team. [00:43:38] Speaker B: The Tribon thing is the man who will be on with us. His last name was Thompson or Thomas. Isn't that awful? I've forgotten his name. But he'll be on with us. And he gives you three things and you Tell what ties them all in together. [00:43:56] Speaker D: Oh, I remember you did one before. Yeah, yeah. [00:43:59] Speaker B: No, he's been on with us. Yeah, he's been on with us a few times and that's kind of fun. And if you, and if you guess what he, you know the quiz, then he sends you, he'll send you the game. [00:44:09] Speaker G: I can never get through. Would you keep a line open? [00:44:12] Speaker B: Sure. [00:44:13] Speaker G: Great. [00:44:13] Speaker B: Show up. His name is Tim Walsh, creator, Tribon. Doing the Tribon thing. And that's this coming night, this very night. 11 o'clock. He'll be on with us for a couple hours. Okay, so anyway, Priscilla, you win. So hang in there. [00:44:29] Speaker G: I sure will. [00:44:30] Speaker B: Brian McKinley will take your name and address. We'll send you some kind of piece of garbage, something special. Yeah, that's right. Nothing that you want to give as a Christmas gift or anything. [00:44:40] Speaker G: Oh, all right. [00:44:41] Speaker B: Okay. And the rest of you did very well. Dee Dee had a couple of correct answers and James had one and Ken had two and Brian had one and Jack Hart got a couple. Everybody scored this. So you did okay, so I thank you all for playing the game. DeeDee, you hold up. No, no, DeeDee doesn't have to hold on. [00:45:01] Speaker G: I'm holding. It was fun. [00:45:03] Speaker B: Hey, Dee Dee, thanks a lot for. Thank you, Norm. Okay. And thank you, Ken. Yes. And James thanks Norm. That. You're welcome. And of course, always you, Jack. Thank you very much. Thank you. Okay, Jack will be reporting to us in just a little bit. You bet. Okay. The world I skip over to another day and pick well known people from that day. So we guess not only birthdays from that day, but interesting people from other days. In any event, normally when I picked the other day, it's a morning that we're not going to play the dumb birthday game. Do you follow this so far as this? [00:45:44] Speaker H: No, I'm writing it down as you speak. [00:45:46] Speaker B: Because I've always had a problem as a professor at my university of talking over the heads of the kids. I think that's it because they always say we don't know what you talking about, old man. So I think that what that means is I'm. I'm very eclectic and it's been hard to follow unless you got a really massive brain. [00:46:05] Speaker H: Well, that would count me out then, wouldn't it? [00:46:07] Speaker B: Yeah, would count me out also. Anyway, by mistake the other day I gave some of the birthdays we. We get some of the birthdays of people born on this date. I don't know why it didn't. I forgot that I was going to be on doing the dumb birthday game. So some of them, if anybody was listening, got the answers to this before. [00:46:28] Speaker H: So now what are you going to do? [00:46:30] Speaker B: We're going to do them again anyway. What the heck. Yeah, because I. I could just skip these and go on to some. Some other days, but what the heck. This will be a test of anybody who's actually listening on that day. I think most people who are on the line with us, not probably were not, did not hear that. But if they were, why not have a little bonus for them? And if they still remember. Why don't I shut up and just introduce people? We'll go on with it. First member of the panel is the very lovely Glenn from Brighton. [00:47:00] Speaker E: I know. [00:47:01] Speaker B: Hello, Glenn. [00:47:03] Speaker E: My ears were ringing a little earlier. I heard you talking about a piano tuna who went deaf. Wasn't you a woman called or something? [00:47:11] Speaker B: That's correct. That's correct. That actually did happen. And you're very observant to notice that it did happen that way right here on this very station. [00:47:19] Speaker E: Yeah. Also, Norm, I wanted to tell you when you were working, when you were working with John Winker at the other station. [00:47:25] Speaker B: Yes, Wei. [00:47:27] Speaker E: Yeah, I didn't want to mention that. [00:47:29] Speaker B: We can mention. We don't care. Nobody listens to any of these stations. They only listen to us. So what do we get to lose? [00:47:34] Speaker E: Well, I don't know if you remember Bruce Lee. I don't know what ever happened. [00:47:37] Speaker B: No, I know that Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee is living in this. Sounds like I'm making it up in one of those islands in the Caribbean. Saint. I forget which it is. I have his address at home. He and his very lovely wife moved to this island and they've been there for a few years now, as a matter of fact. And I hear from them, you know, we exchange cards at least at Christmas time and very often in between. [00:48:05] Speaker E: Yeah. I thought you were going to say he lived in Fond Duoc. [00:48:08] Speaker B: No, no, no. I mean, he really does live in. [00:48:11] Speaker E: Married men full of. [00:48:12] Speaker B: No, he. No, no. Anyway. No. [00:48:15] Speaker E: Well, the reason I. [00:48:16] Speaker B: No, that's. You're thinking of. You're thinking of. You're thinking of who? [00:48:21] Speaker H: I don't know. [00:48:22] Speaker B: I'm trying to think. It was John Linker who did that. Yes. And if he didn't marry Annette Fullercello, that she's the only person he didn't marry. [00:48:30] Speaker E: Well, now what I was thinking of is there was a guy and I guess this is a true story. They called him back and verified it. There was a man from Sweden With a special rig and he could pull in Wei. I thought of it because you had that guy from Greenland. [00:48:46] Speaker B: Oh, the old wei. Mean at 590? Yeah. [00:48:49] Speaker E: They're only 5,000 watts. [00:48:50] Speaker B: Yeah, well, you could hardly pick them up in the next town. [00:48:53] Speaker E: You couldn't pick them up in Framingham. [00:48:55] Speaker B: You could pick them up in Medford, and that's where their transmitter is. [00:48:58] Speaker E: I know. They were One Lung Station. [00:49:00] Speaker B: Yeah, well, that's. I suppose those freaky things happen. [00:49:02] Speaker E: Well, this guy, he actually. He sent him a picture of his wrist. [00:49:05] Speaker B: Yeah, well, okay, let's. Let's. Let's see. Let me introduce some other members of the panel and we'll get back to that story. I'd like to have that kind of sitting in the minds of people. And they'll be excited about the second part. Melissa in the South End. Hi, Melissa. Hi. She's just the opposite of Glenn. Glenn, you can't keep quiet. And this one you can't get to talk. Talk to us just a little bit more. Melissa, what are you doing up at this time of the morning? [00:49:34] Speaker C: I'm always up on Saturday night. [00:49:36] Speaker B: Oh, why are you stay up all night? [00:49:38] Speaker C: Yeah, when I called you earlier, I just set over a party. [00:49:41] Speaker B: Oh, I see. Was that a fun thing? [00:49:43] Speaker C: Yeah, it's across the street from my high school, so it was. Okay. [00:49:47] Speaker B: Melissa, don't ever get old, please. Promise me. [00:49:50] Speaker C: Okay.

Say, I understood every word he said. Yeah, I understood that. That's very clear. He speaks clearly. Not like kids today. They don't speak clearly. [00:50:03] Speaker E: I am a kid today. [00:50:05] Speaker B: I know you are. I know you are. You sound. You sound quite. You're not in high school, though. You're a little bit. Just about 93. I graduated. Oh, really? Son of a. Young people today. That's exciting. That's very, very exciting. Now, what are you doing now? The. You going to college or working? [00:50:21] Speaker I: I was going to college, but now I'm working. [00:50:23] Speaker B: So you're going to go back to college Eventually. Okay. Would you turn the radio down? Whoever's got the radio on, if you turn it down, I would appreciate that because. Because you hear our program about seven or eight seconds late. We have Marilyn, who's up in New Hampshire. Hi, Marilyn. [00:50:39] Speaker D: Hi, Norm. [00:50:40] Speaker B: Hello. [00:50:41] Speaker D: This is the grandmother of the crowd. [00:50:45] Speaker B: You're a very old person, huh? [00:50:47] Speaker D: Oh, ancient. [00:50:49] Speaker B: No, I'm sure you're not. [00:50:50] Speaker D: Anyway, six years younger than you. [00:50:53] Speaker B: Well, you're Just a punk kid then. What do you know? You're even still wet behind the ears. [00:50:57] Speaker D: Not much. [00:50:57] Speaker B: Yeah, okay. [00:50:58] Speaker D: I know Norm Nathan. That's it. [00:51:00] Speaker B: Well, I think that's okay. [00:51:01] Speaker D: Know an old friend of yours. [00:51:03] Speaker B: Who's that? Rick. [00:51:05] Speaker D: Rick from the Board of Fortune. [00:51:08] Speaker B: Oh, you're talking about Rick Cassiotes? [00:51:10] Speaker D: I sure am. [00:51:11] Speaker B: Oh. How well do you know Rick? [00:51:14] Speaker D: Well, I've known him since he was in high school. [00:51:17] Speaker B: Did you go to the same high school together? [00:51:18] Speaker D: No, my brother did. He's my brother's best friend. [00:51:21] Speaker B: Oh, I see. Okay. And that was up in New Hampshire? [00:51:24] Speaker D: No, in Lynn. [00:51:25] Speaker B: Oh, in Lynn, that's right. Okay. Yeah. Rick Cassiodis is on a board of selectmen and is a musician. Musician, that's right. He sings with the Dick Donovan Band at Angelica. On Monday night. They have an open rehearsal, which is another for those of you who like big bands. That's a nice take in because it's. There's no admission charge or anything. Don't even have to buy a drink. Just go in and sit there and listen to the band. And they get quite a good crowd there on Monday nights. [00:51:55] Speaker D: Wonderful. [00:51:56] Speaker B: During the rehearsal, like 7:30 to 10:30, something like that. And every other Wednesday night at the Village Green, which is just across the line in Danvers, is the Bob Batchel event. Rehearsing, same thing. So people who like big bands can catch these bands. And you don't even have to pay to catch them because they. They're in rehearsal, but they're doing some nice stuff. [00:52:19] Speaker D: Great. [00:52:20] Speaker B: Yeah. Do you ever go over there and catch your own. Your. Your brother's old classmate? [00:52:25] Speaker D: I haven't yet, but my brother's been there. My brother used to play with them. [00:52:30] Speaker B: Oh, he's a musician. What does he play? [00:52:32] Speaker D: Bass. [00:52:34] Speaker B: Okay. Does he. Is he a professional musician? He played. [00:52:38] Speaker D: He was. [00:52:39] Speaker B: Okay. [00:52:40] Speaker D: He thought of it now. [00:52:41] Speaker B: Okay. [00:52:42] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:52:42] Speaker B: Okay. We also have on the panel what an interesting panel this is. We also have a guy who does radio production at a large radio station that covers 38 states. This is Brian McKinley, who's producer this very day. Hello. [00:53:00] Speaker H: Hello. It's so great to be here. And there goes the interesting people. Now I'm not so interesting anymore. [00:53:05] Speaker B: Yeah, you kind of took the entire program and really dropped a few levels, which is pretty awful. [00:53:10] Speaker H: It scares me to play this game now because I've been pulling up goose eggs and getting one or two. Actually, I'm happy. I'm scared to play with Jack Hart, but I'm happy when I play with Ken because I Know that Ken will always make a worse showing than I do. [00:53:25] Speaker B: Is that true, Ken? [00:53:27] Speaker J: That is the most insulting thing. [00:53:30] Speaker B: I mean, the fact is also, we do this for just for fun. And whether you win or lose, it doesn't really matter, you know, competition. Oh, well, you have a thing going between the two of you. You're competing, but the rest of us who are mature adults just look upon it as just fun. Okay, let me. Let's. Let me tell you some of the people born in the state, one of whom, I don't think we guessed her age the other day, but Carolyn Kennedy Schlossberg. [00:54:00] Speaker H: Carolyn Kennedy Schloss? [00:54:02] Speaker B: Yeah. She's the daughter of the course of President John Kennedy. She's the daughter and of course, of Jackie Kennedy. And she's married. Married just a few years ago to Edwin Schlossberg. They married down on the Cape. So surname really is Carolyn Schlossberg or Carolyn Kennedy Schlossberg. I guess when you're Kennedy, you retain the name even if it's your middle name, but you never drop it. Totally. Because you never know, she might want to run for something. [00:54:30] Speaker H: And you can always use that name if it's. You're a Schlossberg. Yeah, but my middle name is Kennedy. Oh, that's a different story. [00:54:37] Speaker B: Glenn, what do you think? How old do you think Carolyn Kennedy Schlossberg is today, November 27th? [00:54:44] Speaker E: 44. [00:54:45] Speaker B: 44. Okay. What do you think, Melissa? [00:54:49] Speaker C: 44. [00:54:50] Speaker B: Oh, you're just, you're just. You're just jumping on the bed. [00:54:54] Speaker C: No, I was thinking about it. [00:54:56] Speaker B: Okay. This would have been your guess. [00:54:58] Speaker C: I figured about my father's age and how old my grandmother is. [00:55:01] Speaker B: Oh, I see. Okay. Oh, Carolyn Kennedy Schlossberg would have been very flattered to know that you were thinking of her in terms of what your grandmother's age was. John, what do you think? I think it'd be 43, Norm. 43. Okay. Marilyn, what do you say? [00:55:17] Speaker D: 48. [00:55:19] Speaker B: Marilyn says 38. Okay. And what do you think, Brian? [00:55:22] Speaker H: Yeah, I'm thinking around the same year. I know, John. John just turned 34, so she's gotta be a couple years older. So I'm gonna say 37. [00:55:32] Speaker B: 37. Okay. And Ken? [00:55:35] Speaker J: I'll say 40. [00:55:37] Speaker B: Ken will say 40. And that puts Brian one up on you already, Ken, because she is 37. 37 years old today. [00:55:47] Speaker H: Yeah, I'm just so happy just to play the game. [00:55:50] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right. You don't care about competition with Canada, though. The fact that. That you. You beat him he wasn't that far off either. Jane Kennedy, you know, Jane Kennedy is the actress. Jane Kennedy. [00:56:02] Speaker J: Is this the all Kennedy show? [00:56:04] Speaker B: It looks that way. Yeah. I don't know her name. [00:56:06] Speaker H: Just to. [00:56:07] Speaker B: Do they have any of you know whether they still have Kennedy Butter and Egg stores? [00:56:12] Speaker D: I don't think. [00:56:13] Speaker J: I've never seen one. [00:56:15] Speaker D: I remember them. [00:56:16] Speaker B: Do you? I bet the rest of you probably don't even remember, though, because you're all young. The Kennedy Butter and Egg stores used to be. It was obviously a chain, and you'd go in there and you'd get tub butter. That is, instead of getting it packaged, they have it in big tubs and they would dig that out, you know, and try to get as close to a pound or whatever you ask for. And eggs and all that kind of. [00:56:36] Speaker D: And fresh peanut butter. [00:56:38] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, that's right. Fresh peanut butter. And those stores used to have such a fragrance. Now, wait a minute. [00:56:44] Speaker H: What do you mean by fresh peanut. You mean actually they grind the stuff right there? [00:56:49] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they grind the coffee and stuff to your prescription and stuff. I worked in a First national store during that period while there's still Kennedy stores. And this was a. We talked about this the other night. A service store where, you know, you'd be behind the counter and you'd wait on people rather than a self service, which is about every store now, where you just help yourself. And we used to have tub butter, too. I used to hate when people came in and wanted that rather than the stuff that's already packaged because I could reach out and get the package. This one, I had to go in and try to guess what it was and weigh it. You might. It's about an ounce over. Ms. Norris, do you mind? No, I wanted exactly a pound. That's what I asked for. That's what I want. We used to get a lot of that kind of stuff. Isn't that an interesting little drama, though? [00:57:37] Speaker H: You still have to dig it out and make it the exact weight. [00:57:39] Speaker B: Yeah, make the exact weight. That was kind of tough. [00:57:42] Speaker C: I work in a supermarket and people do the same thing to me with meat. [00:57:46] Speaker B: Oh, that's right. Yeah, that would be. It isn't. Well, see, meat. Yeah, meat would be kind of tough. And then you had to cut off a piece or add a piece or something. [00:57:55] Speaker C: The deli say they want like a pound of cheese. [00:57:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:57:58] Speaker C: I give them a pound and like maybe a half of an ounce and it's like maybe 2 cents over and they have a fit. A corner of a piece of Cheese off and put it back on. It really gets on my nerves. [00:58:10] Speaker B: I know that's kind of tough. It's not so bad if you don't like. If it's, I know, fruit or something, you can just take out one item and put it back. But when you're cutting stuff up to specification, that makes it kind of rough. [00:58:25] Speaker C: Yeah, I wouldn't charge them, but it's because of the computer. They do the pricing according to town. [00:58:30] Speaker B: Yeah, no, that makes it a lot easier. We used to just add up things on the back of brown paper bags. [00:58:35] Speaker H: So you wouldn't actually. If it came up to 302, you wouldn't actually. You would just charge them $3 and they're still complaining about the 2 cents, that it's over. [00:58:44] Speaker B: Well, those cheap people. You call me next time that happens, I'll come up and break their nose for you because you're too adorable to have to take that kind of gaffe. Anyway, how do we get on that? Oh, yeah, Jane Kennedy. Another Kennedy. It says actors Speak up, America. I've never heard of that program either. [00:59:03] Speaker H: I. You know, if it's the same Jane Kennedy, I think she's been doing the psychic hotline info. [00:59:09] Speaker C: Marshall. [00:59:09] Speaker B: Yeah, she's. She's a very attractive lady. She not. Yeah. Now, did she do sports at one point? [00:59:16] Speaker H: I think she did. [00:59:17] Speaker B: She's the one who also did sports. Okay. Okay, so that's Marilyn. You're the one who seems to know most about her. You and Brian. So why don't we start out with you? How old do you think she is? [00:59:29] Speaker D: Oh, God, 40. [00:59:32] Speaker B: Okay, second kid. What's that? [00:59:35] Speaker D: That's the closest I can get. [00:59:37] Speaker B: Well, it may be right on the button. You don't know. [00:59:43] Speaker D: I didn't win anything. [00:59:44] Speaker B: Oh, don't, don't, don't say. That's so sad. [00:59:47] Speaker H: Here come the violin. [00:59:49] Speaker B: That's why you hear, that's why I'm. [00:59:50] Speaker D: Here, so I can have fun. [00:59:52] Speaker B: Oh, I see. I thought you were going to see because you're a loser and we only attract losers. You're a winner just by being here. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Brian, what do you think? How old do you think? [01:00:05] Speaker H: I'll say. [01:00:06] Speaker B: You seem to know who she is, too. [01:00:08] Speaker H: I think she's pretty close. I'll say 41. [01:00:11] Speaker B: 41. Okay. Glenn, what do you say? [01:00:14] Speaker E: I'm gonna see if she's 44. [01:00:17] Speaker B: Okay. The same as you thought Carolyn Kennedy Schlossberg was. Yeah. Okay. Melissa, what do you think? [01:00:24] Speaker C: 43. [01:00:25] Speaker B: 43. Just, just don't Want to imitate Glenn? Don't want to be a clone of Glenn. Eh, John, what do you think? Well, I'm gonna go with 43 again. 43 again. Okay. And Ken, well, I'll have to go. [01:00:38] Speaker J: With 42 just to fill that. That one year gap that no one guessed. [01:00:42] Speaker B: You know something? That was a wise choice because that's how old she is. Whoa. Hey. Yeah. 42 years old. Excellent. And because Brian said 41, he was very close, and Melissa said 43, and so did John. You're all very close. Okay, so now it's Brian and Ken. Now this is really a battle, Isn't it shaping up? [01:01:01] Speaker H: That's something new. [01:01:02] Speaker B: Oh, this is really just a darn exciting. I'm so glad I didn't stay home calling sick and be in bed. Now we're in the lead. I would have missed all this. [01:01:08] Speaker H: Yeah, you would have. Usually. Ken and I are usually in the toilet. [01:01:12] Speaker J: This is the battle of the century right here. We're like pro wrestlers. [01:01:16] Speaker B: Here we go. [01:01:17] Speaker H: I'm going to pin you. [01:01:18] Speaker B: All right, go ahead. When I see you, Brian, are you. [01:01:21] Speaker E: The one that invented the word deboner instead of debonair? Is that the Americanization? [01:01:27] Speaker B: No, I don't believe. I don't believe I ever heard Brad say deboner. No, no, no. That Brian is a very class. He's a class act. He wouldn't have said that. No. Eddie Rabbit. His one. His one. Has somebody keeled over in a dead faint into their fireplace where they're now being burned alive? No, Eddie Rabbit. We did this one the other day, but it doesn't matter because nobody will remember. [01:01:55] Speaker J: He loves a rainy night. [01:01:57] Speaker B: That's right. I love a rainy night was his. In 1980 he recorded I give you that date. He was I love a rainy night. He did. 1980, he wrote Kentucky Rain, which was a hit for Elvis Presley. His name was Edward Thomas when he was born in Brooklyn, New York. Edward Thomas. And now he's Eddie Rabbit. And I don't remember. There must be some interesting story as to why he decided that Rabbit was a better name than Thomas. He said, I'd rather be like an animal than an English muffin. Something like that. As I recall reading that in one of the intellectual magazines. People. [01:02:37] Speaker J: The Eddie Rabbit memoir. [01:02:39] Speaker B: I believe that was it. Okay, let's start with you, Ken. What do you think? How old do you think Eddie rabbit is? [01:02:47] Speaker J: 54. [01:02:49] Speaker B: 54. [01:02:52] Speaker J: I was cut off. [01:02:55] Speaker B: Okay. And Brian. [01:02:59] Speaker H: He took mine. So I'll go one down. I'll go 53. [01:03:03] Speaker B: 53. Okay. And Marilyn? [01:03:06] Speaker D: 51. [01:03:08] Speaker B: 51. John, what do you think? 48. 48. All right. And Melissa? [01:03:13] Speaker C: 50. [01:03:14] Speaker B: 50. Okay. You weren't the one who was talking about people saying, I don't want to pay the $0.02 extra or something. Yeah. Now what's, what's. Do you work in the grocery store now too? That's right. They don't call them grocery stores anymore. Supermarket. Now where, where, what supermarket do you work in? [01:03:36] Speaker C: Style Market. [01:03:38] Speaker B: Okay. Is that, say that again. [01:03:42] Speaker C: The Star Market and Prudential Center. [01:03:44] Speaker B: Oh, the one at Prudential Center. Yeah. Do you work late at night? Because they're open 24 hours a day, aren't they? [01:03:48] Speaker C: Yeah, I work from like 4 to 8. [01:03:53] Speaker B: Okay. [01:03:54] Speaker J: At night or in the, in the afternoon? Like 4 in the afternoon to 8 at night. [01:03:59] Speaker C: So I live right up the street. [01:04:01] Speaker B: Okay, so you, you go to school and then you have to school. You go to, go to the store and you work four hours and you play basketball. Did you have time to get your homework done? [01:04:12] Speaker C: I do it from. [01:04:13] Speaker J: Right. [01:04:13] Speaker C: I don't go to sleep. That's why I listen to like Bob Raleigh at night because I don't go to sleep till like 1 o'clock in the morning. [01:04:19] Speaker B: Oh, now how do you get through that? Aren't you awfully very tired? [01:04:22] Speaker C: No, because school don't start till 8. So I get up around 7:30. Because school's right up the street, so, you know, I don't worry about it. [01:04:30] Speaker B: Oh, no, it does. Like right now, for example, would you, would you be able to sleep late this morning? [01:04:35] Speaker C: Yeah, I'd probably wake up around 8:00. [01:04:38] Speaker B: Well, that isn't very late. You. That won't give you much sleeping. [01:04:41] Speaker C: I'm a lot of sleep. [01:04:43] Speaker B: Son of a. You're my kind of woman there, Melissa. If you could, if you could get 50 years older very quickly, I'll give you a call. You think you get to be 50 years older by like Saturday at noon? [01:04:56] Speaker C: If I'm not cranky, maybe. [01:05:00] Speaker B: That was one of the most stupid questions I've asked. And what kind of an answer can anybody give anyway? Glenn, how old do you think Eddie rabbit is? [01:05:11] Speaker E: 47. [01:05:12] Speaker B: 47. Okay, here we come with the answers. And Eddie Rabbit is. This is an exciting moment. 53. Brian said 53. You guys are walking away with this thing. Brian has two correct answers. Ken is one. And maybe he'll get caught up with Robin Givens. Robin Givens, you know, was married to Mike Tyson. That's right. And let's see, she Was. Pardon me. [01:05:41] Speaker E: You know what that means? He might not have to send down anything because they're not eligible. [01:05:45] Speaker B: That's right. They're not. Yeah. In fact, we haven't sent out anything. I think the past day or two, I think we've had in house winners. She was in the film boomerang and on TV's Head of the Class and Angel street and again was married to a heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. And let's start with you, Melissa. What do you think? How old do you think Robin Givens is? [01:06:07] Speaker C: 29. [01:06:08] Speaker B: 29. Okay. What do you think, Glenn? [01:06:12] Speaker E: I'm gonna guess 32. [01:06:15] Speaker B: 32. Okay. In Maryland. [01:06:19] Speaker D: 33. [01:06:23] Speaker B: And what do you think, Ken? [01:06:26] Speaker J: 28, I guess. [01:06:28] Speaker B: Okay, John, I was gonna go with 33, too. 33 also. And Brian. Hmm? [01:06:34] Speaker H: Melissa said 29. Someone said 31. I'll split it up the middle and go with 30. [01:06:40] Speaker B: 30 is exactly wrong. Are you reading? Are you guessing, or did you know this? [01:06:45] Speaker J: He did research. [01:06:46] Speaker H: How do I do? I have no time to watch TV. I worked. I work like Melissa, like, 15 jobs. [01:06:52] Speaker B: I did know that you had. Maybe had a little book along with birthdays and stuff. No. Okay. [01:06:57] Speaker J: He calls up. He calls him up personally. [01:06:59] Speaker E: Well, they used to accuse Tony of cheating when he was on something, see? [01:07:02] Speaker H: Yeah, they did. [01:07:03] Speaker B: So. That's right. Anybody who's really good at something, Tony. [01:07:05] Speaker H: Calls me, goes, this, this. [01:07:07] Speaker B: It's this one. All right, tell them. [01:07:08] Speaker H: All right, so I got a little earplug in my ear. Tony's sitting at home now going, the answer is 30. [01:07:15] Speaker B: No, I just. Because you got three corrections. Three out of four. [01:07:19] Speaker H: I had 29, and I had the other 31 or 32, and I don't want to ride anybody's coattails because, you know. [01:07:26] Speaker B: No, but you had the three that you. That you won. You hit them right on the button. [01:07:31] Speaker H: I get three. I already. [01:07:33] Speaker B: Yeah, three. And the one that you missed, you only missed by one year, and that was the one Ken got. Oh, I'm just impressed with you guys. What a staff. David Merrick, he's the Broadway producer. He produced a lot of big shows. Oliver Beckett. Hello. Dolly Beckett. Yeah. 42nd Street. Born in St. Louis, Missouri. David Merrick. As a matter of fact, I looked through the curtains here at wbz, and I think he's out there in the audience. So I hope we'll all do well. We may all become stars in his next show. Okay, we'll begin with John. How old do you think David Merrick is? [01:08:13] Speaker I: Say 48. [01:08:15] Speaker B: 48. Okay, Glenn, what do you say 49? 49. And Brian? [01:08:25] Speaker H: I don't know. [01:08:26] Speaker B: 50. 50. [01:08:29] Speaker H: I don't even know who he is. [01:08:30] Speaker B: David Merrick, one of the. No. One of the big time Broadway producers. You better get to know him. [01:08:36] Speaker H: I guess so. [01:08:36] Speaker B: If you want to be on Broadway, if you want to star in a show, you better. Even a small road, you better get to know David Merrick of Broadway and. [01:08:45] Speaker H: Be on Broadway with Robert Goulet. [01:08:48] Speaker B: Well, that's Robert too late. Oh. Anyway, Marilyn, how old do you think David Merrick is? [01:08:58] Speaker D: 65. [01:08:59] Speaker B: 65. Okay. And Melissa? [01:09:03] Speaker C: 54. [01:09:05] Speaker B: I'm so. Did you say 50 or 64? 54. 54. Okay. Ken? [01:09:11] Speaker J: 52. [01:09:13] Speaker B: Okay. This is the moment now when, since Brian and Ken have been the only winner so far, each one is wondering, was the other closer? Ken, Just to review, Ken said 52, Brian said 50. And you're both terribly far off. In fact, everybody really was far off. David Merrick today is 82. He'd be happy to know we think he's young. 82. Yo. Marilyn said 65, and even she was 17 years off. Is that 17 years? [01:09:46] Speaker D: He loved me for that. [01:09:48] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right. You were 7, and yet you were the closest. So Marilyn breaks into the scoring column, and this is getting to be wide open and just so exciting, I can hardly stay awake. [01:10:00] Speaker D: My heart's going. Pity. Pat. [01:10:04] Speaker B: I wish you would use heavy medical terms like that, Marilyn, because we're only a bunch of lay folk. How about Gail Sheehy going from a Broadway producer to an author. Gail Sheehy from Mamoronic. That's not the way it's pronounced, is it? Mamaroneck. Mamaroneck, New York wrote Passages, among other things. Passages was a very big seller. It was a story of a boy and his dog in the green Mountains of Vermont around the turn of the century. And they're searching for happiness. [01:10:40] Speaker H: Classic story. Boy meets dog, Boy falls in love with dog. [01:10:44] Speaker B: Boy splits from dog, and boy reunited with dog at a kennel. Now, actually, the storyline. I told you, because there's nothing whatever to do with passages. It's a storyline that I just love. [01:10:57] Speaker E: You realize that her husband's last name was it I t it. She he it. [01:11:04] Speaker B: That's. That's the kind of vulgar humor, isn't it? Wouldn't you say, Glenn? I mean, is that the kind of hip. You think, that's kind of hip humor that you come on the station and use? [01:11:15] Speaker E: No. [01:11:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:11:16] Speaker E: I just listen to Jack Hart a lot now. [01:11:19] Speaker B: Jack would not use that. I mean, Jack may have some corny jokes, but that was really stupid, Glenn. So go ahead. How old do you think Gail Sheehy is? [01:11:28] Speaker E: Oh, you would have to ask me. [01:11:31] Speaker B: You're lucky I'm asking you at all. [01:11:39] Speaker E: 34. [01:11:41] Speaker B: I don't know. Melissa, what do you think? [01:11:44] Speaker C: 65. [01:11:46] Speaker B: 65. Did you say 60 or 50? 60. 65. Okay. John, 55. 55. And Marilyn 48. 48. Brian? [01:12:01] Speaker H: The ever popular 54. [01:12:03] Speaker B: The ever popular 54. And the ever popular. Ken Newman says. [01:12:09] Speaker J: I'll say the ever popular 55. [01:12:12] Speaker B: Ever popular 55. Okay. Actually, 55 is the closest. She's actually 57. And I don't see anybody getting any closer than 55. So you and John have won that. And you have two, and Brian has three. Still leading. But Marilyn and John have won a piece. [01:12:36] Speaker J: This is the World Series of Birthday Games. [01:12:39] Speaker B: Oh, this is it, man. Even though the prize is something really junky and something you would not even want to look at, let alone allow it to your house. [01:12:47] Speaker H: I've seen it, so I know I don't want to be looking at it. [01:12:51] Speaker B: Terrible stuff. Okay. Buffalo Bob Smith. Hi. Hi. Hi. It's Bob. Bob. Buffalo Bob. Anyway, he was responsible for the Howdy Doody show, as you know, the first popular TV show for kids. The show premiered in 1947. WBZ TV, Channel 4, the first station in Boston, didn't even go on the air till 48. So that program was older than this station is. The Howdy Do Show. Howdy Doody show was the first Tuesday through Friday program in 1948. And the first show that went to all color in 1955. If those dates will help you, then I say Godspeed. They described a Buffalo Bob Smith as a puppeteer. I guess that's true. And the peanut gallery. And Hawkins. What time is it? It's Howdy Doody. [01:13:51] Speaker E: That was back when they had the test pattern. [01:13:54] Speaker B: Yes. Okay. Ken, what do you say? How old is Buffalo Bob Smith? [01:14:00] Speaker J: 75. [01:14:03] Speaker B: And, Brian, that's you. [01:14:08] Speaker H: Oh, that's my cue. Tap me on the show. [01:14:10] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm sorry. [01:14:11] Speaker H: Pull my string. I'm just 70. I know he's. I know one or two because I do actually know this, but see, there's. All right, I'm gonna say 77. [01:14:25] Speaker J: Well, that was like Quiz Show. I could just picture the napkin patting the head and the sweat coming down. [01:14:32] Speaker B: In the isolation booth. Yeah. [01:14:35] Speaker H: No, it's either one or the other, so I guess the other one. [01:14:38] Speaker B: 77. Is that what you said? Okay. Did you see. You saw Quiz Show. Did you can. [01:14:43] Speaker J: No, I didn't. I just saw the reviews at Cisco Cisco and Everett gave it. [01:14:47] Speaker B: Yeah, it was. It's a very good movie. I saw it. Very, very good. Very good. Oh, yes, very good. Marilyn, how old do you think Buffalo Bob Smith is? [01:14:58] Speaker D: I'll try. 79. [01:14:59] Speaker B: Okay. [01:15:00] Speaker D: I tried to meet him last summer. He was in Maine. He has a summer place down Maine on the coast. [01:15:06] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah. Now, where did you see him? [01:15:08] Speaker D: I mean, he was in Camden at the time, but I missed him. [01:15:12] Speaker B: Oh, was he doing a show or just. [01:15:14] Speaker D: No, he was just visiting me. [01:15:15] Speaker B: Okay. Because he sort of came out of retirement a little while back and he was very popular with young people who were just little tiny people at the time when he was on. And so for them that was nostalgia, remembering Buffalo Bob Smith, Howdy Doody and all that. Although now those people would be middle aged people almost, I guess. Yeah. [01:15:41] Speaker D: I couldn't stand to listen to them. [01:15:43] Speaker B: No. Because I was already grown up and I used to. I was courting my wife at the time, although she wasn't my wife at the time. And she had two nieces that she lived with. And every time I'd go there, they'd have Howdy Doody on. So I still think of those. It's kind of nice days because they were nice kids. Those kids now today are now 73 and 71, respectively. John, what do you think? How old do you think Bob smith is? Even 80. And even 80. Melissa, what do you say? [01:16:18] Speaker C: 81. [01:16:19] Speaker B: Okay. Glenn? [01:16:21] Speaker E: 76. [01:16:23] Speaker B: Okay, 76. [01:16:25] Speaker E: I'm supposed to say that for spirit. [01:16:26] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:16:27] Speaker H: Trombones. [01:16:29] Speaker B: Brian. Brian actually hit it right on the button with the 77. [01:16:33] Speaker H: Now, Lucy, let me explain, okay? I either. Now, this is the way I come up with it. I knew he was either 77 or 78 in the process. By elimination. Since 77 comes first. I picked that. But I KNEW he was 77 or 78. [01:16:44] Speaker B: Well, how did you know that? [01:16:46] Speaker H: I just knew that because I'm psychic. I knew. [01:16:50] Speaker J: Birthday game guru. [01:16:52] Speaker H: Yes. [01:16:54] Speaker B: Excellent, excellent. When you got there, just one more thing, and that will be a date. I'll tell you an event that happened on this day, November 27th, and you tell me what year that was. A permit was granted to a man named Curtis Brady of New York. He was given the first permit to operate a motor vehicle in Central park after he promised not to frighten horses. Somehow I thought that'd be kind of one that would get a few chuckles. But they allowed him to go through with his motor vehicle. Going through Central park, which at that time was, I guess, much more rural. Although it's still quite. Quite nice today. And he could operate as long as he didn't frighten the horses. And what year was Curtis Brady given that permit? And it happened on this day, November 27th. How well we remember that. Okay, let's start with. And what year. What year was that? Let's start with you. Let's see. Melissa, what do you think? [01:18:07] Speaker C: 1914. [01:18:08] Speaker B: 1914. [01:18:10] Speaker C: My grandmother was born then. [01:18:12] Speaker B: She was born 1914. Thank heavens your grandmother is older than I am. I hate it. I hate it when kids tell me about their grandmother and that turns out to be somebody younger than me. Marilyn, how old? What year do you think that was? [01:18:26] Speaker D: 1901. [01:18:28] Speaker B: 1901. Okay. Glenn? [01:18:32] Speaker E: 1999. [01:18:36] Speaker B: All right. John? [01:18:38] Speaker E: 1910. [01:18:39] Speaker B: 1910. And Brian? [01:18:43] Speaker H: 1918. [01:18:45] Speaker B: Brian says 1918. And Ken says, say 1905. 1905. Okay. The actual year was 1889. 1889. Yeah. Yeah. He must have had the first motor car any place. And Maryland said 19:1. And she was the closest. She was only 11 years off the always. Yeah. [01:19:13] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:19:14] Speaker B: I'm sorry, what did you just say? [01:19:15] Speaker D: I said I'm always on. [01:19:17] Speaker B: No, but you won that round. You must stop beating yourself. [01:19:22] Speaker D: I don't. I don't. I do this at Planning Board meetings, too. [01:19:27] Speaker B: Are you a member of the Planning Board? [01:19:29] Speaker D: Yes, I am. [01:19:29] Speaker B: In your town? Yeah. [01:19:30] Speaker D: Project committee? The recycling committee. [01:19:33] Speaker B: No kidding. Now what. What town is this? [01:19:35] Speaker D: Fremont, New Hampshire. [01:19:37] Speaker B: And now Fremont. I should know where that is and I don't. Whereabouts is that? [01:19:41] Speaker D: Between Kingston and Raymond. [01:19:44] Speaker B: I don't even know where Kingston and Raymond. [01:19:46] Speaker D: Route125. Route107. Route101. In that area. [01:19:51] Speaker B: Now what? Now what? Part of New Hampshire Southern. [01:19:54] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:19:55] Speaker B: Near what? That's what. What community? That we would know. [01:19:58] Speaker J: Can you give us directions? [01:20:01] Speaker D: Take 107 north and you'll come to. [01:20:03] Speaker B: My house where the schoolhouse used to be. [01:20:05] Speaker D: No. [01:20:06] Speaker B: What now what now? Is it like. Is it near Nashua or where. [01:20:11] Speaker D: No, it's in Houston Park. Do you know where Plasto is? [01:20:14] Speaker B: It's there. Where? [01:20:15] Speaker D: Plasto. [01:20:17] Speaker B: Oh, it's there above Haverhill. In that area? [01:20:20] Speaker D: Yeah, I'm about a half an hour from Haverhill. [01:20:22] Speaker B: Oh, I see. Okay. And that's Fremont. [01:20:24] Speaker D: Yes. [01:20:25] Speaker B: And you remember the Planning Board? And you serve on all these other committees as well? [01:20:29] Speaker D: Everything. Everything. [01:20:30] Speaker B: How many. How many people on your committee, the planning board? [01:20:34] Speaker D: 9. [01:20:35] Speaker B: And you're elected or appointed? [01:20:37] Speaker D: Appointed. [01:20:38] Speaker B: Appointed. Okay. [01:20:40] Speaker D: And I love it. [01:20:41] Speaker B: Yeah. Do you have A. Do you have a good town moderator? [01:20:44] Speaker D: Yes, we do. [01:20:45] Speaker B: What's his or her name? [01:20:47] Speaker D: Ray Bernie, of course. [01:20:49] Speaker B: Ray Bernese. [01:20:50] Speaker D: Bernier. [01:20:51] Speaker B: Ray Bernier. Okay, Very good. Okay. [01:20:58] Speaker D: I love this place. I moved from Lynn to Havel to here and I didn't even know this place existed the day I looked at the house. And that was 11 years ago. [01:21:08] Speaker B: And within 11 years you got to be the main moving force in that entire community. [01:21:15] Speaker D: Like it so? [01:21:15] Speaker B: Well, no, I think little town. I live in a small town too. [01:21:19] Speaker D: Get out and vote, get to town meeting, please. We need you. [01:21:24] Speaker B: Are you talking to me directly? Everybody. Okay. We need you. I was going to make a comment about that. See, I'm the town moderator in my town, so I have to be there. But we're having a town meeting Tuesday, this special town meeting and we got three articles on the warrant. None of them are exciting or anything. And so nobody wants to come. Yeah. Who wants to come? So the point is, we got to have a quorum. [01:21:50] Speaker D: Can I go? [01:21:51] Speaker B: Would you come? Sure. We can appoint you an honorary member of the town or something. [01:21:56] Speaker D: Okay. Because I believe in it. [01:21:58] Speaker B: I know you do. I can tell. [01:22:01] Speaker D: I'm a radical. [01:22:03] Speaker B: You must drive everybody crazy. [01:22:04] Speaker D: I do. [01:22:06] Speaker B: I call them all. Anyway, for people, the town meeting is either 7:30 or 8. I forget. I better look it up at the North Shore, the technical high school, which is in Middleton, Tuesday night. I just have a feeling when he's sitting there holding the expression holding McGavel, waiting for people to come and nothing will happen except the planning board will be there. Okay. Anyway, the winner of this, as you know, is Brian. [01:22:35] Speaker C: Can I have a prize? [01:22:37] Speaker H: You could. [01:22:38] Speaker B: You have my prize when it's a member of the staff that wins. Right. [01:22:42] Speaker H: I was thinking of putting myself on hold and writing my own address down, but you can have my prize. [01:22:48] Speaker B: The members do not collect anything. The prizes are all, as I've mentioned many times, just tasteless, worthless and useless. [01:22:57] Speaker C: But if it's for you, it'll be special. [01:22:59] Speaker B: I suppose that would be kind of as a souvenir. Even something really junky. It would be kind of a souvenir, wouldn't it? [01:23:05] Speaker C: Yes. [01:23:06] Speaker B: We ought to send you something, Melissa, just for being so nice about that. [01:23:11] Speaker C: I gotta go to work tomorrow. [01:23:13] Speaker B: I also go to work. Well, that was so funny. [01:23:16] Speaker H: Well, there you go. We'll give you a get out of work free card. [01:23:19] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right. We'll give you. In fact, Brian will write you a note saying you don't have to go to work. I Guess that didn't make it too well either. That didn't wash, as we kids say. Anyway, I want to thank all of you for playing the game. It was delightful having you. And I thought this was one of the magic moments in broadcasting. I thought we've elevated a mundane business into the heights of. Yes. Almost ecstasy, almost greatness, almost mediocrity. Yeah, almost. Just under mediocrity. Hey, Glenn, thanks for playing the game with us. [01:23:54] Speaker E: Can I say something nice real quick? [01:23:56] Speaker B: Sure, yeah. [01:23:57] Speaker E: Just say my mother's name was Marilyn and she sounds just like Marilyn. [01:24:01] Speaker J: Well, maybe it is your mother. [01:24:02] Speaker B: That's very nice. That could be. You think you might be his mother? He might be his mother, Marilyn. [01:24:07] Speaker D: I might be, yeah. [01:24:08] Speaker B: He's only 68 years old. So, what do you think? No, I made that up. I just made that up. And I want to thank you very much. And much as we may joke. I may joke about all the offices you're holding and driving people crazy, the fact that you care about the town and take part in it and volunteer all yet that time, I think is something great. [01:24:31] Speaker D: I don't do much else, so I love it. [01:24:33] Speaker B: Well, you do a whole lot there. [01:24:35] Speaker D: I'm a volunteer for everything. I don't need to get paid. [01:24:39] Speaker C: Isn't that like a council? [01:24:42] Speaker B: Is it like. Yes, it is. Well, though planning board is. Deals with zoning and that kind of stuff. The planning of the. You know, the town itself. What it should be in the future and. [01:24:54] Speaker C: You know, I've never heard of that. [01:24:56] Speaker B: The. Well, no, they have because you live in the city. City people don't know anything about government, so. They really don't. What's that? [01:25:05] Speaker C: My aunt lives in Hull. I've never heard of her say anything about it. [01:25:09] Speaker B: Oh, no. There is a planning board in Howell. Sure. Every town has a planning board. Most of the time, planning board members are elected up. But obviously up in your town, they're appointed. [01:25:19] Speaker D: The town is really too small? [01:25:20] Speaker B: Well, no, but even then, what's the population? [01:25:25] Speaker D: We're just over 2500 now, but we've grown 11% in the last year. [01:25:30] Speaker B: Yeah. No, our town, when I first moved in was only about. Not much more than. Well, it was maybe about 3,500. But certain officers are elected no matter what the size of the town is, depending on what the town charter is like. [01:25:46] Speaker D: Oh, we will be the next. [01:25:48] Speaker B: Okay. Okay. Hey, Marilyn, thank you very much. And good luck to you at Fremont. [01:25:55] Speaker D: Thank you, Uncle Norman. [01:25:56] Speaker B: Okay. And thank you, Melissa, too. You're very nice to have stayed up this late to play the game with us. Take care now. [01:26:03] Speaker C: All right. [01:26:04] Speaker B: And John, thank you, too. [01:26:06] Speaker E: Oh, thanks a lot. [01:26:07] Speaker B: Pleasure to have you. And also you, too. Ken Newman will be looking for your. I guess we don't. We don't have our traffic report from you for a while. [01:26:15] Speaker J: Well, no, not till tomorrow night. [01:26:18] Speaker B: Well, we'll wait a rematch Next week, Mr. Newman. Next week. Be there. [01:26:24] Speaker J: The saga continues. [01:26:26] Speaker B: Okay, take care, both of you. Brian, take care. I don't know if I waste more time saying goodbye to everybody. [01:26:34] Speaker H: Longer than the game takes 10 minutes. Well, take an hour. [01:26:37] Speaker B: It's. It's longer than most programs on radio are in any station. [01:26:40] Speaker A: I hope these kept you entertained while cooking, cleaning, sleeping it off and. Or enjoying leftovers. Can you believe we move into the final stretch of 2024 next week? Well, I'll be here and I'd love for you to join me again. Two shows worth of credits to get to. So let's close the vault and leave this world a little sillier than we found it. Four Angelicas in Middleton, Mass. Thanksgiving. Doing it in your own mind. Worthless prizes, the pinnacle of one's career. Norm Risha, Upton Bell Regis, Kathie Lee and Gelman.

[01:28:49] Speaker B: Listen, if I can get a woman worked up even for a couple of seconds, I think it's feathering my cap. [01:28:54] Speaker G: Well, if you can get me worked up, you're doing well. [01:28:57] Speaker B: So here's a guy can't get a woman worked up trying to get a woman worked up who never gets worked up. So what are we talking about? I don't know.
