[00:01:01] Speaker B: Your ears now because of the panel today?
[00:01:06] Speaker C: I think so.
You know, I saw somebody with the black cape that said WRKO sneaking around the building.
[00:01:13] Speaker B: Yeah. Let's check the rest of our items here. They might have stolen something besides the microphone.
[00:01:17] Speaker C: The microphone is gone.
[00:01:18] Speaker B: Yeah, they might have kidnapped.
[00:01:20] Speaker C: We'll do a complete inventory.
[00:01:21] Speaker B: I understand there was a rumor that they captured the. The security guard. They're holding him hostage. They. They won't return him unless we give $253.12. I don't us to pay their electric bill or something over there, probably. Oh, those four souls are really in very bad trouble. Aren't you glad you don't work there?
[00:01:41] Speaker C: Oh, yes, absolutely.
[00:01:43] Speaker B: I worked there for about two years. It was a very interesting experience.
[00:01:46] Speaker C: Well, I. I worked there for about six months and it was less than an interesting experience.
[00:01:52] Speaker B: Okay. And of course, we have a guy who never worked there at all unless he's. Unless Ken Newman has worked there under some other name. He's our traffic reporter. Ken. Hi.
[00:02:02] Speaker D: Hello.
[00:02:03] Speaker B: Hello. Do you have another name like. Like Jack Hart does?
[00:02:08] Speaker D: No.
I've been thinking about getting one, though.
[00:02:12] Speaker B: No, I didn't know whether you were. Well, if you need another name, maybe we could come up with something. How about Brett Marshall?
[00:02:20] Speaker D: Ooh, Brett Marshall.
[00:02:22] Speaker B: Tell you what I can do. I'll give you a whole list of names and you can pick whatever one you want. How about Lance Cartain?
[00:02:30] Speaker C: That's nice. How about Cliff Falls?
[00:02:33] Speaker B: Cliff Falls.
Cliff Falls.
[00:02:37] Speaker D: Cliff Falls.
[00:02:38] Speaker C: All right, maybe not.
[00:02:40] Speaker B: Yeah, no, let's not put that on the list. Erase that, would you can.
[00:02:43] Speaker D: Okay.
[00:02:44] Speaker C: Scribble that one right off.
[00:02:46] Speaker B: Okay. In any event, we have a lot of. A lot of people were born on this date. I'm just so pleased. And we will be guessing their ages as I. I don't need to tell you the rules.
Let's see.
[00:02:58] Speaker D: Rules are far too complex to try to explain in that period of time we have allotted.
[00:03:03] Speaker B: No, that's right. We go over the rules very generally. And as you know, because you, Ed and Ken both have the rules book that as I understand, we've added a supplement to it this year. The 1996 Dumb Birthday Game Rules Book. Now, now, it's 487 pages, a very small print.
[00:03:22] Speaker D: That's just a supplement.
[00:03:23] Speaker B: Right.
[00:03:23] Speaker C: I had to buy a whole new bookcase just to fit the rules.
[00:03:27] Speaker B: Are you. Are you guys poking fun now?
[00:03:29] Speaker D: Well, I was going to buy the on disk version, but my computer doesn't have that much memory. I couldn't pull it all up, so I had to get the hard copy.
[00:03:38] Speaker B: Yeah, okay. Sure, sure. Okay. We. Anyway, Ramona will be playing the game with us. I know you played the game with us before, Ramona.
[00:03:47] Speaker E: Sure have.
[00:03:48] Speaker B: Because I've had a chance to sing that song so many times. I just. I love it.
[00:03:52] Speaker E: Can we have a dam up in Huntington?
[00:03:55] Speaker B: That sounds great to me.
Did you know that I bless you, caress you and dread the day or bless the day you taught me to care?
[00:04:04] Speaker E: I did. I know.
[00:04:05] Speaker B: Remember the. You still wear the rambling rose you wear in your hair?
[00:04:11] Speaker E: Yes, I do.
[00:04:12] Speaker B: What is a rambling rose anyway? How does that differ from a regular rose?
[00:04:16] Speaker E: I guess it just goes everywhere. I don't know.
[00:04:19] Speaker B: Yeah, it goes any place you want it to go. Since you're wearing it in your hair. I suppose it has no choice, does it?
[00:04:24] Speaker E: Right.
[00:04:25] Speaker B: Okay. You think you and I are the only two who know the song that we're poking fun at?
[00:04:30] Speaker E: I think so. Yeah.
[00:04:31] Speaker B: Yeah. That's good too. Because I think you and I should have something special. Just the two of us knowing. Oh, yeah.
[00:04:37] Speaker E: Incidentally, Joe says hello.
[00:04:41] Speaker B: Joe?
[00:04:41] Speaker E: Joe Master.
[00:04:43] Speaker B: Oh, let's see now. I forget the connection. What is that? Is he your boyfriend or.
[00:04:47] Speaker E: No, he's on another radio station. But you're supposed to be simulcasting with him sometime.
[00:04:53] Speaker B: Oh, really?
[00:04:54] Speaker E: I see.
[00:04:55] Speaker B: So he said hello on his radio program to us?
[00:04:59] Speaker E: Yeah, I talk to him all the time.
[00:05:01] Speaker B: Oh, I see. I see. Huh? Oh, I get you.
[00:05:04] Speaker D: So you're two timing.
[00:05:06] Speaker B: No, it seems to me that I think Ken hit it right on the button.
[00:05:10] Speaker E: I spend more time with Norm than I do with him.
[00:05:14] Speaker B: Why do I not satisfy you enough, honey?
[00:05:18] Speaker E: See. Cause I only can call Once a month. So, you know, with Joe, you can call every week. But I haven't been calling.
I've been saving my time for you.
[00:05:27] Speaker B: I appreciate that. With Joe, you can call every half hour, you know, because he just waits for you.
[00:05:33] Speaker E: I know. No, I save up my time for you now.
[00:05:36] Speaker B: Okay, I appreciate that, Ramona, because I'm a tremendously successful big time broadcaster, you know.
[00:05:43] Speaker E: I know that.
[00:05:44] Speaker B: I really am. People just look at me in awe when I walk.
[00:05:49] Speaker E: Well, believe it or not, you're getting popular in Westfield.
[00:05:52] Speaker B: In Westfield.
[00:05:53] Speaker E: Yes, you are.
[00:05:54] Speaker B: That was the last area where I have had no popularity at all.
Well, I think that once I get popular there, I know it'll be time to retire. Because I conquered the world. That's right.
[00:06:07] Speaker D: I worked Westfield.
[00:06:08] Speaker C: If you can make it there, you.
[00:06:10] Speaker B: Can make it anywhere. Westfield. You can make it anywhere.
[00:06:14] Speaker E: Right.
[00:06:14] Speaker D: It's a less tough market to crack.
[00:06:17] Speaker B: Westfield. I'll conquer you yet, you cold blooded house of thousand blights.
There's a broken heart for every light in Westfield.
[00:06:29] Speaker E: We need snowplows.
[00:06:32] Speaker B: What's the Main street in Westfield?
[00:06:34] Speaker E: Main Street.
[00:06:35] Speaker B: Main Street. Yes, sir. I want to see my name at light on Elm street in Westfield and Elm.
I'll leave the elm out. That kind of drops it right down to the toilet.
Main and Elm. How unimaginative your town is.
[00:06:52] Speaker E: Well, that's Westville for you.
[00:06:55] Speaker B: Yeah. My town at least is imaginative. Our Main street is. We have South Main and North Main Street.
[00:07:02] Speaker E: There's Maple Street.
[00:07:03] Speaker B: We have Maple street in Middle. Do you know the town?
[00:07:07] Speaker E: No.
[00:07:07] Speaker B: Are you the one who went by the driveway just looking up longingly into my bedroom window?
[00:07:14] Speaker E: Maybe. Could have been. Sure, could have.
[00:07:17] Speaker B: Okay, before we get too silly, although we. I think we passed that point out. I think we did. Let's go to Laura in New Jersey.
[00:07:28] Speaker F: Yes. After you're done singing Ramoni, you can sing Laura, the Face in the Misty Night.
[00:07:33] Speaker B: That's right. Laura.
Laura.
But she's only a dream.
[00:07:39] Speaker F: Right.
[00:07:40] Speaker B: That's you. She doesn't exist.
[00:07:42] Speaker F: Right.
[00:07:42] Speaker B: That means I'm not really here. You're really not. You don't even wear a rambling rose in your hair.
[00:07:48] Speaker F: Right.
[00:07:49] Speaker B: Okay. What. What town in New Jersey are you?
[00:07:52] Speaker F: Delran.
[00:07:54] Speaker B: Delran.
[00:07:55] Speaker F: Yes.
[00:07:55] Speaker B: D E L, R A N. And.
[00:07:57] Speaker D: Then what did he do?
[00:08:03] Speaker B: Okay, we'll go to. Now that we're just kind of sitting here just going crazy laughing. Aside. So silly.
[00:08:10] Speaker F: Yes, sir. Norman.
[00:08:11] Speaker B: Okay. Frank, in. In Worcesterheim. Would you care to join this. This group, Frank?
[00:08:17] Speaker G: Yes, I do. Hi, how are you? Doing?
[00:08:18] Speaker B: Oh, we're doing just fine, thank you. I didn't know whether or not maybe you felt yourself a little above.
[00:08:25] Speaker G: I've been actually listening to you for the past four months. And I've always wanted to call, but I never had an interesting subject to talk about.
[00:08:30] Speaker B: Oh, listen, a lot of people call and many of them don't have an interesting subject. I don't even have an interesting subject most of the time myself, so don't let that stop.
[00:08:38] Speaker G: You're a breath of fresh air on the airwaves. You really are. I really enjoy listening.
[00:08:42] Speaker B: Oh, that's really nice. You sound very young. Are you a student?
[00:08:46] Speaker G: I'm 22.
[00:08:47] Speaker B: Your student.
[00:08:48] Speaker G: I graduated in May.
[00:08:50] Speaker B: Oh, congratulations. What is it? You. You. Is this job seeking time or.
[00:08:55] Speaker G: Well, no, see. Okay. It can be a weird, depressing story kind of quick.
[00:09:00] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:09:00] Speaker G: I graduated in May. I went out to California, to San Francisco, and I didn't get a job. I came back and then my mother had a stroke and died.
[00:09:08] Speaker B: Oh.
[00:09:09] Speaker G: But is it.
And I began getting insomnia. And that's how I wound up just, you know, I was flipping through the radio and I came on to you. So I just like to say thank you very much for just being. I don't know, just.
[00:09:23] Speaker B: Well, I appreciate you saying that and I hope things.
[00:09:27] Speaker G: Oh, yeah.
[00:09:27] Speaker B: Turn out a whole lot better for me from here.
[00:09:29] Speaker G: She was. She was sick for a long time.
[00:09:31] Speaker B: Yeah. What. What kind of. What kind of work would you be interested in?
[00:09:35] Speaker G: I was an English major. I don't know, it was more like I was the first kid in my family to go to college kind of thing. I didn't have. I don't have a really career set kind of thing. I got part time work and other like various things now. Nothing permanent. I'm just trying to get settled.
[00:09:50] Speaker B: That's interesting.
My oldest daughter. I have two daughters. Then the older one was the first member of the Nathan family ever to go to college. So she, in a sense, she's sort of like you. And we were also proud of that because I never went to college myself.
[00:10:06] Speaker G: Yeah. Well, okay. Another place. My dad. My dad was from Hungary. He came during 1956 and he died when I was 15. And he was very into me. Like he really wanted me to go to college, that type of thing.
[00:10:19] Speaker B: So you must feel very pleased that you did.
[00:10:21] Speaker G: Yeah, I was just glad my mom was around to see me.
[00:10:23] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:10:24] Speaker G: And it was just really nice. Okay. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be.
[00:10:26] Speaker B: No, no, no. We wish you Luck. That's. And. And the best. It's good to have you with us. Thank you. We'll go to. Down to Florida, where the lovely Soviet is. Hello.
[00:10:35] Speaker D: Hey.
[00:10:36] Speaker H: How about that? Two weeks went by fast, didn't it?
[00:10:39] Speaker B: That's right. Yeah. Last time we talked, you talked about joining the Elder hostel at the beginning of February. And then you'd call us right after that, which would be about two weeks from now.
[00:10:48] Speaker H: Well, I didn't want to tell you I had asked him to be on, too. But incidentally, you're batting a thousand. You got Ramona, Laura, now Sylvia, you know.
[00:10:58] Speaker B: Yeah, there are several Sylvias out there. One is. Who is Sylvia? Who is she?
[00:11:02] Speaker C: That's right.
[00:11:02] Speaker E: That's it.
[00:11:03] Speaker B: I used to play that.
[00:11:05] Speaker H: Swains adore her.
[00:11:06] Speaker G: Feel so left out.
[00:11:07] Speaker B: Is that what the next line is?
[00:11:09] Speaker H: Yeah, but I haven't met any swains lately.
They're hard to find.
[00:11:14] Speaker B: That's right. Let me look. Hold on a minute.
[00:11:16] Speaker C: Oh, we've got down at the Commons, every summer, the swain boats.
[00:11:21] Speaker H: Oh. Oh.
[00:11:25] Speaker B: No. I'm gonna look up swain.
[00:11:27] Speaker C: That was a pun just for you, Sylvia.
[00:11:29] Speaker B: I know.
[00:11:29] Speaker H: I love pun.
[00:11:32] Speaker B: That's right. The swain is kind of like a.
A lover. He's seeking a woman or.
[00:11:39] Speaker H: That's right.
[00:11:40] Speaker B: Somebody courting.
[00:11:41] Speaker D: It sounds like. It sounds like a personal ad.
[00:11:48] Speaker B: Into the Phoenix. Right. Actually. Huh. Swaying.
[00:11:50] Speaker C: Right.
[00:11:51] Speaker B: What is the female for? A swainess or.
[00:11:54] Speaker D: No, a swainette.
[00:11:58] Speaker B: Swain.
A swain. Okay, here's a swain.
Let's see. A young, rustic lover or gallant. A lover or suitor.
Yeah. And so if you're. The adjective for that would be swainish.
If you engage in the art of swanery, you're swainish.
Oh, there is such a word as swainishness. Swedishness.
[00:12:26] Speaker D: Can you be swained?
[00:12:29] Speaker H: Probably.
[00:12:31] Speaker D: Then you would be the Swanee.
[00:12:33] Speaker E: Right.
[00:12:34] Speaker B: Excuse me while I put the dictionary sign and get on with this story.
Okay. Today is the birthday. And today, of course, is Sunday.
[00:12:42] Speaker D: June.
[00:12:43] Speaker B: January 21, of Jack Nicklaus, the golfer. You know, Let me see what I can tell you about Jack Nichols, the.
[00:12:50] Speaker C: He plays golf.
[00:12:52] Speaker D: As opposed to Jack Nicholson, who plays golf on other people's car windshields.
[00:12:56] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:12:58] Speaker B: He was born at Columbia. Columbus, Ohio. It's just he's a golfer. That's all the information, but everybody knows him. And I will ask you first, Ramona, how old do you think Jack Nicklaus is today?
[00:13:17] Speaker E: 54.
[00:13:18] Speaker B: 54. Okay. And what do you think, Laura?
[00:13:22] Speaker F: I'll say 60.
[00:13:24] Speaker B: Okay. And Frank I'm gonna say 58. Frank says 58. And Sylvia, I'll say 59. And Ed.
[00:13:33] Speaker C: Yeah, 54 sounds good.
[00:13:35] Speaker B: Okay. What sounds good to you, Ken?
[00:13:38] Speaker D: I like the noise of glass breaking.
I'll say. I think 60.
[00:13:47] Speaker B: I like the sound of noise of glass breaking. I like the sound of a stream in the middle of the woods in July.
[00:13:56] Speaker D: Of a tree falling in the middle.
[00:13:58] Speaker B: Of the woods when I'm not around.
[00:14:00] Speaker D: When no one can hear it.
[00:14:01] Speaker B: And I love the sound of Sophia Lorenz saying, I want you so bad, I can't stand it, honey. Those are the sounds I like, too. Apparently, we. We like the similar sounds. Although you may want to take a.
[00:14:13] Speaker D: Younger person as opposed to Sophia Loren.
[00:14:16] Speaker B: Yes.
Ah, he's thinking about it. Yeah. By the way. Okay. Actually, the age of Jack Nicklaus is 56. You're all very close. And the closest would have been.
Would have been Ramona. She said 54. That's two years away. And Ed said 54 also.
But the. Frank said 58, which was also two years the other way.
So I'd say there you have your winners of this first round. Ramona Frank, and my beautiful assistant, Ed. Thank you.
Three winners. We're off to a very big start. This is going to be a nip and tuck kind of battle. It'll be a seat swarmer all the way. Nip and tuck. Seat swimmer all the way.
[00:15:09] Speaker D: Little cosmetic surgery.
[00:15:12] Speaker E: Nail chewer.
[00:15:13] Speaker B: A nail chewer. It'll be that. Yes. Okay. Today is the birthday also of Placido Domingo, the opera singer. A Spanish opera singer born on this very day, January 21st. Place.
Domingo is Sunday. Isn't that in Spanish? And Placido is place. So it'd be Sunday place.
[00:15:37] Speaker C: Like a church, maybe.
[00:15:39] Speaker B: That's it. That's a religious church.
[00:15:42] Speaker D: His name translates to church, maybe.
[00:15:45] Speaker H: Yeah, but it could be a fish. A place is a fish, too.
[00:15:48] Speaker B: Well, maybe it is. Maybe it's a Sunday fish.
[00:15:51] Speaker C: Right.
[00:15:57] Speaker B: I was thinking of a song that was based upon that. I want a Sunday kind of fish that's known for us.
[00:16:05] Speaker D: It's a special kind of. It's a new Ben and Jerry's flavor. Fish Sunday.
[00:16:09] Speaker B: That's right.
With milk or cream and some kind of fruit. It's the fish of champions.
[00:16:16] Speaker F: And so be some top.
[00:16:18] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:16:19] Speaker H: Caviar.
[00:16:21] Speaker E: Pop it off.
[00:16:22] Speaker B: Are you all quite through?
[00:16:25] Speaker H: We're getting ready to throw up.
[00:16:29] Speaker B: Okay. Nobody did any joke about I'm. I'm getting green in the gills or anything like that. And I really. I really appreciate that very much. Ken, how old do you think Placido Domingo is?
[00:16:45] Speaker D: 53.
[00:16:46] Speaker B: 53. You. You didn't seem positive of that. You kind of.
[00:16:50] Speaker D: Well, because I don't really know what he looks like, so I'm having a hard. I mean, I know the name, but I don't really know what he looks like, so. Having a hard time picturing him.
[00:17:00] Speaker B: Nobody really knows what he looks like. This tall, good looking guy comes out and, you know, lip syncs while Placido Domingo's behind the curtain actually supplying it.
[00:17:11] Speaker C: It's like the Milli Vanilli of opera.
[00:17:14] Speaker B: Yeah. In a way. It's that way because. Because Posito Domingo himself is only three feet tall. Three foot two, I think, at the last measurement, and weighs something like £180. He's quite round. Wow.
[00:17:27] Speaker D: You have to be in order to be an opera singer.
[00:17:29] Speaker B: You really do.
[00:17:29] Speaker D: You can't be slim.
[00:17:31] Speaker B: And he's got hair all over his face because that gives him a.
[00:17:35] Speaker C: You know. It sounds like you just described the mayor of Munchkinland.
[00:17:42] Speaker B: Anyway. Okay, Ed, what do you think with that description? I know that'll help you guess his age.
[00:17:48] Speaker C: I think 44.
[00:17:50] Speaker B: 44.
Okay. Sylvia, what do you think?
[00:17:53] Speaker H: I think I'm about 51.
[00:17:56] Speaker B: And Frank, I'm gonna say 48. Okay. And Laura, I was going to say 48 also.
All right. And Ramona.
[00:18:11] Speaker E: I'm gonna say 55 because I have his tape because he sings with. What's that? Pavarotti. Yeah, yeah. The three Carrera.
[00:18:20] Speaker C: The three Tenors.
[00:18:21] Speaker E: Yeah, yeah.
So I'm gonna say about 55.
[00:18:25] Speaker B: 55 is exactly right.
[00:18:26] Speaker C: Wow.
[00:18:27] Speaker D: Oh, I would have won if it wasn't for that.
[00:18:29] Speaker B: Exactly right. 55. That's very good, Ramona. So you have two out of two.
[00:18:35] Speaker E: That's good.
[00:18:37] Speaker C: You know, I think, yeah, they're gonna be performing, I think, a giant stadium in about a couple of months. That's part of their. That's the only us stop on the world tour. The Three Tenors are going around.
Yeah. That's gonna be a big show.
[00:18:50] Speaker H: Wow.
[00:18:50] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:18:51] Speaker H: I like the original one the best.
[00:18:54] Speaker B: I never.
[00:18:54] Speaker C: I actually, I've never heard it.
[00:18:56] Speaker H: You haven't?
[00:18:57] Speaker C: I just know they're gonna be a giant stadium.
[00:18:59] Speaker D: Seen it on the news.
[00:19:01] Speaker C: That's right.
[00:19:03] Speaker B: Okay. Matt Davis, also born on January 21. Mac Davis, actor, songwriter. Matt Davis, show, North Dallas, 40, born at Lubbock, Texas. Written a lot of songs. Can you name one?
[00:19:17] Speaker C: Didn't he do Baby, Baby, Don't Get Hooked On Me?
[00:19:20] Speaker B: But did he write that Song, too? Yes.
[00:19:23] Speaker E: He wrote it too.
[00:19:23] Speaker C: He wrote it.
[00:19:25] Speaker B: Can you think of anything else he's written?
This is not part of a quiz. I'm just curious.
[00:19:31] Speaker D: When was that? Did he wrote that?
[00:19:33] Speaker C: Oh, sometime in the 70s.
[00:19:35] Speaker E: Yeah, it was 70s.
[00:19:36] Speaker C: Yeah. Mac the Knife, did he do that one?
[00:19:39] Speaker B: No, that was Bobby Dairy. Yeah. No, no, no. Oh, no, no, no, no.
[00:19:48] Speaker D: Just because his name is Mac, no, he doesn't necessarily mean he has to write songs.
[00:19:52] Speaker C: Oh, all right.
[00:19:52] Speaker D: Well, Gwen came with the McDonald's theme.
[00:19:55] Speaker B: What about Glen Campbell?
[00:19:57] Speaker E: Glen Campbell stole his wife.
[00:19:59] Speaker C: Oh, really?
[00:20:00] Speaker B: Oh, my goodness.
[00:20:01] Speaker D: Did they ever catch him?
[00:20:05] Speaker E: I don't know. All I know is it was a nasty divorce.
[00:20:08] Speaker B: Ken really stepped in where Jack Hart left off, didn't he? Huh? It's like he's the spirit of Jack Hart with the bad jokes, but not.
[00:20:16] Speaker D: The spirit of 76.
[00:20:19] Speaker B: Okay, we'll start with you, Frank. Mack Davis. How old do you think he is?
[00:20:24] Speaker G: I'm gonna say 56.
[00:20:26] Speaker B: 56, okay. And Ramona.
[00:20:31] Speaker E: Let's see. I saw him not too long ago on tv, and he's starting to get bags under his eyes. And he said, what, 56?
[00:20:40] Speaker D: He was just tired.
[00:20:44] Speaker E: I'm gonna say 54.
[00:20:46] Speaker B: I had a bag under the eye transplant the other day. Cause I'm looking much too youthful, you know, I had a nose job. You used to have this cute upturned nose, you know. And I had this beak put on instead. Because, I don't know, somehow it's. It's more authoritative.
[00:21:03] Speaker C: Yes, it is.
[00:21:05] Speaker B: I wanted to look like my Uncle Max.
Sylvia.
[00:21:11] Speaker D: Distinguished.
[00:21:12] Speaker B: Yeah, very distinguished.
[00:21:14] Speaker H: I think. 51 on this one.
[00:21:16] Speaker B: 51 on this one. Okay. And Ken.
[00:21:21] Speaker D: 53.
[00:21:23] Speaker B: 53. And Laura, 52.
What's that line in Laura about the train you see her in the passing footsteps you hear down the hall?
[00:21:35] Speaker F: Did you ever hear the Spike Jones version of that?
[00:21:39] Speaker B: I think probably so. At least I can hear him doing it. You know, typical Spike Jones kind of stuff.
[00:21:46] Speaker F: Larry's a face in the misty night. And then you hear this big scream.
[00:21:50] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, he did.
[00:21:51] Speaker H: Oh, yeah, I've heard that.
[00:21:52] Speaker F: Right?
[00:21:52] Speaker B: Yeah, he did. Chloe like that, too. Remember? Chloe?
You're not thinking of Chloe, are you?
[00:21:58] Speaker F: No, no, it's Laura. Because when I was in high school, they, like boys, used to sing that one to me.
[00:22:05] Speaker B: Oh, they loved you.
[00:22:07] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:22:08] Speaker D: Underneath your window.
[00:22:10] Speaker F: Right?
[00:22:12] Speaker D: With a. With one of those little guitars.
[00:22:15] Speaker F: Little ukulele.
[00:22:18] Speaker D: Ukulele, yeah. That's it. That's what I was trying to think of.
[00:22:21] Speaker B: Ed, how old do you think Mac Davis Is.
[00:22:24] Speaker C: I think he's 54.
[00:22:26] Speaker B: 54 is exactly right. That means that Ramona's got three out of three now and you've got two out of three. Are you really guessing at these things, Ramona, or did you. Did you.
[00:22:37] Speaker E: I'm guessing on them because I look at their faces and I'm pretty good when it comes to like seeing them and remembering their ears. That you know, their. Their past, previous birth dates.
[00:22:48] Speaker B: You're okay, Ramona.
[00:22:51] Speaker E: I'm into trivia. I'm into trivia a lot too.
[00:22:55] Speaker B: Oh, I see. How much? Jill Eikenberry. Okay, well, you know, Jill Eikenberry's on LA Law. She's married to the. That'll other guy who's on LA Law.
[00:23:06] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. I can't remember his name though. He plays Stewart, I think.
[00:23:11] Speaker B: Stewart, yes.
[00:23:11] Speaker D: Yeah, he's a short guy.
[00:23:13] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, a short guy. I didn't want to say that because he was.
[00:23:16] Speaker D: He's vertically challenged, right?
[00:23:18] Speaker B: Yeah, she was Ann Kelsey in LA Law.
And born. She's. She's in New England or born in New haven, Connecticut on January 21st. But of course now the question is, how many years ago was that, for heaven's sakes. And I think we'll start with you, Sylvia. What do you think?
[00:23:41] Speaker H: Boy, I don't watch too much television, so I'm just have to make a stab at this and say 36.
[00:23:52] Speaker B: 36.
Okay. And Laura say 38.
And what do you think, Ken?
[00:24:03] Speaker D: I think she's 46.
[00:24:06] Speaker B: All right.
[00:24:07] Speaker C: Ed 43.
[00:24:10] Speaker B: Ramona 46. 46. And Frank 48. Okay. And she's 49. Frank. Frank came the closest at 48.
[00:24:21] Speaker C: Frank.
[00:24:22] Speaker B: Okay, so we got the Ramona with three. And Frank and Ed both with two apiece. And this is still anybody's ball game. Anybody's ballgame. You hear what I'm saying?
[00:24:32] Speaker D: Except for it's not a ball game.
[00:24:34] Speaker F: No, Laura's warming up.
[00:24:36] Speaker B: Yeah, except for Laura, Sylvia and Ken. It's not their ball game.
[00:24:40] Speaker C: Maybe, but they could still jump right back in it.
[00:24:42] Speaker B: They could.
[00:24:44] Speaker F: We get a bonus a large leaps.
[00:24:47] Speaker H: For mankind or something.
[00:24:49] Speaker B: Alaska, something of that Nature is correct. Okay, Today is also the birthday of Geena Davis. There's another new winner from Born in Ware down near the Cape.
[00:25:00] Speaker D: Born where?
[00:25:01] Speaker B: See, I know we do an avid Costello shtick. As soon as I said that.
[00:25:06] Speaker H: Where's on first.
[00:25:09] Speaker B: Oh, gee, will you stop? Will you please stop?
Where's. Anyway, she was. She won an Oscar for the Accidental Tourist. And of course she was in Thelma And Louise, which is a movie I love one of my kids, my daughters. It's kind of her national anthem.
She figures, boy, what a couple of feminists.
She has a bumper sticker on her car that says, thelma and Louise live.
Well, I beat. I beat her. Oh, beat the kid. And I refused to give her any Christmas present. She's gonna act silly like that. The heck with it. Well, she was also in Buffalo Bill. She's been on a whole lot of other things.
Yeah. Was she in some of her greatest.
[00:25:51] Speaker D: Accomplishments, like Earth Girls are easy.
[00:25:55] Speaker C: Transylvania 6, 5000. Yeah, Frank. Frank knew it too.
[00:25:58] Speaker D: Very nice work.
[00:26:00] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:26:02] Speaker B: Okay, I said we'll start with Transylvania 1.
[00:26:08] Speaker D: That movie was horrible.
[00:26:11] Speaker B: I didn't even know there was such a movie. She was. There was such a movie.
[00:26:15] Speaker C: Jeff Goldblum was in it also.
[00:26:17] Speaker B: Yeah. Was that where they met?
[00:26:19] Speaker E: There must have been.
[00:26:19] Speaker C: I think so. Yeah.
[00:26:22] Speaker D: They were also both in Earth Girls are Easy. They were both in that one, too.
[00:26:25] Speaker C: And they were both in the Fly.
[00:26:26] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
Because they were married for about four reels of a movie or something. It wasn't too long.
[00:26:36] Speaker C: Oh, they're not married anymore? No, no, no, I didn't know.
[00:26:38] Speaker B: No, they haven't been married for some time.
[00:26:40] Speaker C: Wow.
[00:26:40] Speaker G: Now he's with that woman that was in Jurassic Park, I think her named Laura Dern.
[00:26:44] Speaker C: Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:26:45] Speaker D: No, he's not.
[00:26:46] Speaker G: Yeah, he like, meets people and like, you know, people he's in movies with and then marries them and then divorces them.
[00:26:51] Speaker B: I thought.
[00:26:51] Speaker D: I thought Steven Spielberg. I thought Steven Spielberg was with Laura Dern.
[00:26:56] Speaker G: No, Spielberg's married.
[00:26:58] Speaker C: Well, that's.
[00:26:59] Speaker D: Well, okay.
[00:27:02] Speaker B: Well, I didn't say that. Yeah, it's kind of funny that what you said, Frank, sounded like a sound like a Steve Martin routine. Remember when he was doing stand up, he'd say he liked to feel at home in the places he's doing these one nighters. So he'd move in, he'd buy a house, he'd get married, do his show, sell the house, get divorced and move on to the next house. Something like that.
[00:27:26] Speaker G: Alimony must have been insane.
[00:27:30] Speaker B: Ed, he's such a twisted, funny, great sense of humor. But he hasn't anymore. I just saw him this morning. He's morose. I made that up.
Anyway, Gina Davis, how old is she today?
Let's see, Ed, what do you think?
[00:27:49] Speaker C: How about 38?
[00:27:50] Speaker B: 38, okay. And Frank?
[00:27:53] Speaker G: 36.
[00:27:55] Speaker B: Ramona.
[00:27:56] Speaker E: Oh, boy, here we go again.
[00:27:59] Speaker B: I love the way you sigh. That is really just something.
Oh, that is A turn on.
You ready for a turn on? Not for me.
In your rear. That's usually a turn on for women.
[00:28:16] Speaker D: Ah, the old paper rattling technique.
[00:28:19] Speaker B: Yeah, some women wonder why. Like on the subway the other day, there was a nice looking woman sitting next to me and I picked up the paper and I just rattled it in her ear. We got off at the next stop, I married her, we bought a house, I did my show. We were divorced and I sold the house and moved out of the next town.
I don't know why I brought that old story up that it was so stupid.
[00:28:48] Speaker H: It is the dumb birthday game.
[00:28:50] Speaker B: It is the dumb birthday. That's what somebody said yesterday. That really was the dumbest dumb birthday game I've ever heard.
I forget who I'm talking. Who are we talking to?
[00:29:01] Speaker C: Gina Davis.
[00:29:03] Speaker B: Yeah, but I mean, who was I. Oh, Ramona was on the side and brought all this on. That's right.
[00:29:08] Speaker E: We get to giggle.
Okay, let's see. I'm gonna say 46.
[00:29:15] Speaker B: 46, okay.
[00:29:17] Speaker F: And Laura gonna say 42.
[00:29:22] Speaker B: Hey, Sylvia, what do you think?
[00:29:24] Speaker H: I'm gonna say 39.
The old Jack Benny.
[00:29:28] Speaker B: Are you gonna say, you know, 39 years of age, you say? You know.
Okay, Ken, what would you say?
[00:29:40] Speaker D: Well, I would say 36.
[00:29:43] Speaker B: 36. Perhaps I did phrase it exactly right. But you see, had you just passed it by and not called everybody's attention to the stupid way I asked it, nobody would have perhaps noticed it.
[00:29:56] Speaker H: We noticed.
[00:29:57] Speaker B: Oh, you noticed.
Well, you guys are the only ones I care about. If you noticed it, the heck with it.
Okay, actually, Sylvia's correct. She's 39.
[00:30:10] Speaker H: Oh, my God, I finally got one right.
[00:30:13] Speaker B: You did get one right. That.
So Robbie Benson.
Who is Robbie Benson? Did he just do soaps and stuff?
No, no, no.
[00:30:25] Speaker C: He was in a couple of movies and. And I hard pressed to think of any movies that he was in.
[00:30:30] Speaker B: Oh, to Billy Joe.
[00:30:31] Speaker D: Yeah, we didn't do it.
[00:30:33] Speaker B: Just that.
[00:30:33] Speaker H: Anyway, how do you become. How do you become hard pressed?
[00:30:37] Speaker D: They do that. They do that to apple cider a lot when they make it.
[00:30:40] Speaker B: That's right.
[00:30:41] Speaker C: That's right. We have a big. We have a big presser here and.
[00:30:44] Speaker H: Just want to check on that.
[00:30:46] Speaker C: Okay. Yeah, I'm glad you did.
[00:30:47] Speaker B: When somebody does know the answer, what we do? Put them in the presser.
[00:30:51] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah.
[00:30:53] Speaker H: I wondered the difference between hard pressed.
[00:30:55] Speaker D: And depressed or repressed, but.
[00:31:00] Speaker C: Or impressed.
[00:31:01] Speaker B: Yeah, I was just. I was. Yeah.
[00:31:04] Speaker E: Compressed actual press.
[00:31:10] Speaker B: I'm going to suppress all of you.
[00:31:12] Speaker E: Wine press.
[00:31:14] Speaker B: No, we're all through that now, see, we're all done. We're onto a whole different thing. He was also in Search for Tomorrow, apparently. The soap opera. You notice those soap opera names? They don't make any sense. Any of them do.
[00:31:25] Speaker D: They Search for Tomorrow.
[00:31:27] Speaker B: Search for Tomorrow. What does that mean exactly? What about the Guiding Light? What is the Guiding Light? That's what that was on radio and that's been on television forever.
Can you think of that?
[00:31:40] Speaker D: I don't know.
[00:31:41] Speaker F: All My Children. His children.
[00:31:43] Speaker B: Well, All My Children, yeah, that's. I mean, that's such general, kinds of ethereal kind of titles that don't really mean anything when you think about it.
[00:31:51] Speaker D: But the Guiding Light was all about that. This guy who works at the airport. Big light, sticks, guiding the planes. That was his. That was the big show. Yeah, yeah.
[00:32:03] Speaker B: In fact, great show.
[00:32:04] Speaker E: The Days of Our Lives.
[00:32:07] Speaker B: Days of Our Lives. Yeah, Right. Like sand through the hourglass of time.
[00:32:13] Speaker D: And the Young and the Restless.
[00:32:15] Speaker B: The Young and the Restless.
[00:32:16] Speaker D: Apparently all the old people were restless. And all the young people were nothing but young because you couldn't be. Or do they mean young and restless?
[00:32:24] Speaker B: Well, maybe. Maybe. No, the young were. The young were restless. And by the time they got old, they just sat around lethargically.
The old and the lethargic.
[00:32:33] Speaker D: The old and the well rested.
[00:32:36] Speaker B: Boy, we're really witty today, aren't we, huh? If this program lasts till 5 o'clock this morning, I'll be very surprised. I guess it won't.
[00:32:44] Speaker C: No. Till 4.
[00:32:45] Speaker D: We get off at 4.
[00:32:46] Speaker B: 30. That's right. We go off at 4. 35. Okay. Ramona? Robbie Benson. How old do you think?
[00:32:53] Speaker E: Let's say 40.
[00:33:00] Speaker B: Okay. And Delora?
[00:33:04] Speaker F: 36.
[00:33:07] Speaker B: Frank?
[00:33:08] Speaker E: 43.
[00:33:10] Speaker B: Okay. Sylvia?
[00:33:12] Speaker H: 42.
[00:33:15] Speaker B: Ed?
[00:33:16] Speaker C: 38.
[00:33:19] Speaker B: Sounds like I'm calling on the jury.
[00:33:25] Speaker C: Yes, your honor. 30.
[00:33:27] Speaker B: Can here.
[00:33:31] Speaker D: I'll say 44.
[00:33:33] Speaker B: 44. Okay, hold on a minute. Bailiff.
[00:33:39] Speaker C: Rusty will step in at any moment.
[00:33:42] Speaker B: What is your verdict, sir? Can we. The members of the jury, your honor, find the program stupid.
And we are about to incarcerate the host into the very bowels of the bastille for the rest of his natural life.
[00:34:02] Speaker H: Guilty.
[00:34:03] Speaker B: Robbie Benson is 40. And strangely enough, Ramona got that. So she has a four out of six. You are just incredible, Romanov. We ought to take this to some amusement park during the summertime and guess something.
[00:34:18] Speaker E: I know. Well, like I said, I keep up with trivia. And I know he's. I'm one year older than him, so I know that just like John Travolta I'm keeping track of all these ones that are supposed to be in the era, so I know what's going on.
[00:34:31] Speaker B: So you're. You're a year older than he, or he's a year older than you?
[00:34:35] Speaker E: No, I'm a year older than him.
[00:34:36] Speaker B: Oh, you're. You're just. You're just arriving at a lovely age.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Another 20 years, you'll. He'll be right there.
How about. How about Billy Ocean? You know Billy Ocean, the singer?
[00:34:53] Speaker E: Oh, yeah, yeah.
[00:34:55] Speaker B: Musician, songwriter from England.
[00:34:57] Speaker D: He's got a very large head, disproportionately large for his body.
[00:35:03] Speaker B: That probably is an indication of his age. Because I understand people born in London, they get, you know, their heads get bigger each year.
[00:35:13] Speaker D: Yeah, not just figuratively speaking.
[00:35:16] Speaker B: No, no, no, no, no, actually. And they have rings. Rings in their head.
I don't even know what I'm saying. Why am I saying these things?
[00:35:24] Speaker C: You just count the rings and figure out how old they are.
[00:35:28] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right. If my mother were alive today, she would just have nothing whatever to do with me. She'd.
[00:35:34] Speaker C: That's probably why there's a lot of hat shops in London, because you have to get a different hat every year.
[00:35:40] Speaker B: That's right.
[00:35:42] Speaker D: He's not even from London. Holy Ocean's not from London.
[00:35:46] Speaker B: Is. He Was born in London. Oh, he was, according to the information I have here prepared by the WBC research staff up on these 14th floor. That's what they do. They spent the whole time. They're just researching what we're talking about now, as a matter of fact, Billy Ocean, the last time he bought a hat, and he still wears it, was 12 years ago. A little bit of a hat on this big head.
This is how we get really silly.
[00:36:17] Speaker H: Anyway, that's why they call him the Mad Hatter.
[00:36:20] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:36:21] Speaker B: Yes, that's. That's true. Oh, yes.
Oh, yeah.
Sylvia, what do you think? How old is Billy Ocean?
That sounds like a Tonto, probably.
[00:36:34] Speaker H: Yeah.
[00:36:37] Speaker D: Well, he's as old as his.
[00:36:38] Speaker H: Tongue and a little bit older than his teeth.
[00:36:41] Speaker B: Sylvia.
[00:36:43] Speaker H: What?
[00:36:43] Speaker B: Knock it off and just tell me the age.
[00:36:47] Speaker H: Okay, let me see. 42.
[00:36:51] Speaker B: Like.
Okay, how would that be? That would go and be.
Oh, Tonto.
Tonto. How come?
Can you do it, Ken? I know how to go into this thing. How come Billy.
How come have surfboard?
[00:37:13] Speaker D: No, has to be something that. He has to be the ocean. Like, how come Billy is not landing.
[00:37:21] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[00:37:25] Speaker C: Full of fish?
[00:37:26] Speaker B: How come.
How come Billy. Keep waving, Billy Ocean?
Well, we'll let it settle at that. Just a little bit or something. Better. That's pretty good, huh, Ramona, what do you think?
[00:37:42] Speaker E: Let's see, he had another song. Something about get into something and get out of my car. Or get into my car, get out of my car.
[00:37:51] Speaker D: What was it? Get out of my dreams, get out.
[00:37:54] Speaker E: Of my dreams, get into my car or something.
Yeah.
He didn't do Ghostbusters, did he?
[00:38:01] Speaker D: No, that was Ray Parker Jr. That's right.
[00:38:04] Speaker E: Till there. I get them mixed up.
[00:38:06] Speaker D: They both have large heads.
[00:38:15] Speaker B: Tiny hats. I'm sorry. 46. Is that what you said?
[00:38:19] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:38:20] Speaker B: Okay. And what do you say, Frank?
[00:38:23] Speaker G: 44.
[00:38:24] Speaker B: Okay.
You realize, Frank, that you're the only sensible one in this whole group, that if I. Yeah. That if I had to apply for anything, I would use you as a reference. And if I. Forget that ever work.
[00:38:36] Speaker G: No, no, please don't.
[00:38:40] Speaker B: Because you couldn't use any of these other clowns. I'm. You know. Who would believe them?
And they didn't laugh at that one. I'm in trouble.
Ken. Ken, how old do you think Billy Ocean is?
[00:38:55] Speaker D: I'd say he's 42.
No, he's not.
[00:39:01] Speaker B: No, no, no, I'm still not laughing at you. Okay. No, I'm not laughing at. You guys are thinking, oh, Tonto, how come Billy have a hat like a.
[00:39:17] Speaker D: Oh, don't make us wait.
[00:39:18] Speaker B: Like shape, like the QE2?
Billy Ocean, the wave one was better. I think that's just about as good.
[00:39:27] Speaker D: As you can do.
[00:39:28] Speaker B: Just the Wave. We'll let that go. Laura, how old do you think Billy Ocean is?
[00:39:33] Speaker F: Oh, 44.
[00:39:38] Speaker B: Okay. At one time, I used to do a show sort of like this. Then I had to do the news, and that would get so giddy that the news would come out rather strange, you know?
Well, anyway, I'll do an imitation of that some other time. Ed, how old are you? How old would you say he is?
[00:39:56] Speaker C: 41.
[00:39:58] Speaker B: 41. Would you believe that Ramona hit it again? Right on the.
[00:40:02] Speaker C: Really?
[00:40:02] Speaker D: You are joking.
[00:40:03] Speaker B: People are getting very suspicious of your Ramona.
[00:40:06] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:40:07] Speaker B: At this moment, the WBZ hit team is on its way to Westfield. And if I were you, I'd burn all. All evidence.
[00:40:17] Speaker H: Right. The cheat sheets.
[00:40:19] Speaker B: Yeah, the cheat sheets. That's right. That's right. Obviously, they're spread out all over the table.
[00:40:26] Speaker F: I hope the man in the black cape didn't steal all your worthless gifts.
[00:40:33] Speaker B: No, he said they just steal. Those guys just steal the equipment.
[00:40:36] Speaker D: Actually, they bring the things in. They're trying to get rid of them.
[00:40:41] Speaker B: Okay, here's. Here's the last one. And this is. Actually. Ramona's already really won this thing.
[00:40:47] Speaker F: This is worth 10 points.
[00:40:49] Speaker B: This is worth. Yeah, let's make it work.
[00:40:52] Speaker C: How old was he again?
[00:40:52] Speaker D: I forget.
[00:40:54] Speaker B: What's that?
[00:40:54] Speaker D: How old was Billy Ocean?
[00:40:55] Speaker B: Oh, 46. 46. So you all were very close on almost everything.
Yeah. This is a very sharp panel.
[00:41:05] Speaker C: Yes, that's right.
[00:41:06] Speaker D: I cut myself on it earlier.
[00:41:10] Speaker B: Okay, here's an event that happened on this very day, January 21st. And you tell me what year. Oh, this.
[00:41:18] Speaker C: This is an event.
[00:41:19] Speaker B: This is an event.
[00:41:19] Speaker C: Oh, okay.
[00:41:20] Speaker B: The first Kiwanis Club, all right. Was founded in Detroit.
I feel silly saying this, but I happen to be a member of the Kiwanis Club, Middleton, Massachusetts. I never thought I'd ever say anything like that, but it's kind of fun. There are just a bunch of guys from around town and women. And we sit around and have lunch together, and we'd act like this. It sounds like a dumb birthday game panel.
Everybody tells bad jokes, and then we go home and resume your normal life. We resume. We go back to our normal life as scheduled. Okay. But anyway, that's why I guess this kind of stuck out in my mind, the time when the first Kiwanis Club founded. And it was founded in.
[00:42:08] Speaker C: In Detroit.
[00:42:09] Speaker B: In Detroit, yes. And I'll give you another clue. Last year was one of the.
An interesting anniversary of. It was a more meaningful year.
In other words.
Never mind.
It was kind of. It was a decade older. But how else can I say that? You know what I mean? It's like, you know, it's like. Like the hundredth anniversary or the 30th anniversary or the 60th anniversary. I'm not telling you which one it was because you tell me what year.
[00:42:47] Speaker C: Oh, okay.
[00:42:47] Speaker B: But it was that kind of an anniversary year last year. And to the republic for which it stands. Thank you. Okay, we'll start with. Let's start with you, Ken.
[00:42:58] Speaker D: Well, I'd say.
Wait a minute. Let me do my calculations here.
[00:43:08] Speaker H: I smell wood burning.
[00:43:14] Speaker D: Let's see. What is it? No. 96.
[00:43:17] Speaker B: This is kind of like a meeting of the Nathan Family Cousins Club. And you sound like my cousin Ethel.
[00:43:23] Speaker D: Let's say 1945.
[00:43:26] Speaker B: 1945.
Okay. Ed, what year do you think Kiwanis Club was founded?
[00:43:33] Speaker C: You know, I'm gonna say 1845.
[00:43:37] Speaker B: 1845.
Okay. And Sylvia?
[00:43:44] Speaker H: Well, let's see.
I'll say 1846.
[00:43:52] Speaker B: 1846.
[00:43:56] Speaker C: She's gonna edge me out just in case.
[00:44:00] Speaker B: What's that, please?
[00:44:03] Speaker H: I meant one. One less. Not one more than the.
[00:44:08] Speaker B: Oh, you wanted 1844.
[00:44:10] Speaker H: Right.
[00:44:10] Speaker B: Okay.
Hold the 46 and make it 44.
We have a tote board.
Frank, what do you think?
[00:44:23] Speaker G: I'm gonna play total ignorance and say 1905.
[00:44:26] Speaker B: All right. No, everybody's totally ignorant because nobody really knows. And nobody member here is a member of the group except me, and I'm not even guessing.
[00:44:35] Speaker H: You don't even know.
[00:44:37] Speaker B: Well, I do, because I got the answer here in my cheat sheet.
Laura, what do you think?
[00:44:44] Speaker F: I'll say 1875.
[00:44:49] Speaker B: Okay. And Ramona, do they have it back in place?
Were you speaking a language that perhaps is somewhat familiar with most of us, or. What was that?
[00:45:02] Speaker E: That's my language. Let's see.
I'm gonna say 1921.
[00:45:08] Speaker B: 1921.
You know, you would be. Listen, hold on a minute. Yeah, yeah. You would be the closest. You're walking away with everything. It was 1915.
[00:45:22] Speaker E: Ah, well, for heaven's sakes. And I just guessed that and.
[00:45:27] Speaker B: You just guessed.
[00:45:28] Speaker E: Yeah, because I figured with the Kiwanis that. That. That they probably didn't exist in that. And so I figured with 20s or something, because you've seen some of those old movies than they have. Sometimes they have them on there.
[00:45:39] Speaker B: They have really little K signs and stuff.
[00:45:42] Speaker E: Yeah. You know how they have the Shriners and all these different clubs and stuff? Yeah, but I. That's how I guessed it.
[00:45:48] Speaker B: Oh, well, that was very good. Now you got six. I mean, you just walked away with everything. Ramona just walked away with everything.
I wonder if you'd come with us into the fingerprint room.
Okay. We say that Frank has a couple, and Sylvia had one.
[00:46:10] Speaker H: Yeah, that's one.
[00:46:11] Speaker B: And Ed had two. And Ken had.
[00:46:16] Speaker D: A big goose egg.
[00:46:17] Speaker B: He had a big goose egg. Along with Laura.
[00:46:19] Speaker F: Right.
Laura hit a milestone tonight.
[00:46:24] Speaker B: You hit a milestone.
[00:46:25] Speaker F: That's the first time I've ever gotten a goose egg.
[00:46:29] Speaker D: Oh, I was gonna say, I hope you're okay after hitting the. You know, hope you didn't crash the.
[00:46:34] Speaker B: Car up too bad.
This thing is really petery outed to nothingness, isn't it?
[00:46:40] Speaker F: Anyway, I'll survive to try again another night.
[00:46:44] Speaker B: That's a very good attitude. And that's the way I'd like my troops to respond.
Not to give up. Not to give up. But to say, tomorrow will be another day. We'll be back. Good night's sleep, a good hearty breakfast, change of underwear.
I Already washing our hands. And then we'll march forward to overtake the enemy. Next time they will not see us subjected to. Oh. Huh.
[00:47:12] Speaker H: And we won't invite Ramona.
[00:47:14] Speaker F: Right.
[00:47:17] Speaker B: Okay. Anyway, Ramona is the one, if you. Hold on. Ramona.
[00:47:20] Speaker E: Okay, well, Ed.
[00:47:21] Speaker B: Ed. Ed Leair will be talking to you, taking your name and address so that we might eventually, probably, maybe by the millennium, send you some of our junkie prizes from the WBC Tacky and Tasteless Gift and Bookshop.
[00:47:36] Speaker H: That's right. Congratulations, Ramona.
[00:47:38] Speaker E: Thank you very much.
[00:47:40] Speaker F: I already won the Tacky gift once and I have somebody else.
[00:47:43] Speaker E: I have a cousin named Laura and I have a cousin set within New Jersey. So that's really coincident.
[00:47:50] Speaker F: Oh, really? Yes, it is.
[00:47:52] Speaker B: That is the most fascinating story I've ever heard in my life and I'm so glad we're on the air to hear it.
[00:47:59] Speaker H: Anyway, Florida thought it was fun and it's worth just keeping in touch with you guys. And I'll be back.
[00:48:07] Speaker B: Okay, thank you very much, Sylvia. Appreciate having you with us.
[00:48:10] Speaker H: Okay, Bye bye.
[00:48:11] Speaker B: Bye bye now. And Frank, thank you very, very much for adding some, some, some decency to this whole thing. I appreciate, appreciate talking with it. Very best of luck to you.
[00:48:20] Speaker G: Thank you.
[00:48:21] Speaker B: And same to you, Laura. Thank you.
[00:48:23] Speaker F: Good night, Norm. It was a lot of fun.
[00:48:26] Speaker B: Thank you. It was a lot of fun. Good to have you. And I want to say to you, Ken, you're a great American.
I think he's hung up on me already. Okay, coming up to the news in about two and a half minutes at 4:00. We'll be around for about a half hour after that.
And if you want to be a little more serious than we were, we really went crazy this time. Whatever you'd like to say, do give me a call at 254-1030. The area code, of course, is 617.
Whenever whatever may be on your mind. And because all the lines are open now, they usually are after this, so do give me a call. And I think I just said that. So let's dance.
Tonight we'll be talking with Mary Beth Bond. She'll be on with us right at the beginning of the program just after 11:00. She's written a book called Travelers Tales, A Woman's World. Travelers Tales, as I mentioned, is a series of fine books on various countries, people who've done some traveling, some interesting traveling.
But this book is a little different. It's a collection of stories of women and each one written by a woman who took part in traveling the globe doing everything from climbing Mount Everest to camel safaris in the Indian desert. And the theory of Mary Beth is that women differ from men and where, why and how they travel. And she'll be talking about this and about her own experiences when she traveled the world alone for a couple of years. So it sounds like it should be interesting. The book is quite fascinating. It's called the Travelers Tales. A Woman's World. And the editor? She didn't write the stories. A whole group of other women did.
All the stories written by women. Mary Beth Bond was the editor of it. Put the book together.
[00:50:50] Speaker A: Here's a question for everyone. Did Del ran after Glenn who stole Mac's wife?
[00:50:57] Speaker B: Hmm.
[00:50:59] Speaker A: And wasn't Norm super giddy throughout this episode? I think so. We'll see you next week.
