Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Sorry about that little glitch in last week's episode with the repeat opening from the previous week's episode. Well, thanks to old pal Fred and Medford for pointing that out. And I republished it with the correct opening. You know, I'm gonna chalk it up to too many late night production sessions, so if you want to help with that, why don't you check out one of the links below for buy me a coffee to support the show and keep me caffeinated. Today we have ourselves a dumb birthday game from July 2, 1992, the title of which fits almost like no other summertime pun.

[00:01:31] Episode 242 Summertime Pun Burns its way to your ears now. Okay, it's 12 minutes after 3:00 clock, the temperature 59 degrees. We know all that's going on and so I think now would be a good time to play the dumb birthday game. Thank you so much. Interesting panel and let me introduce them all to you. First is our friend Lorna, who we just talked to a little while ago. Lorna from the town of Plymouth. Hello, Lorna. Hi, how are you, Nora? Good, thank you. Do you have big plans? Does the town of Plymouth have big plans for 4th of July?
[00:02:07] They usually set the fireworks off, you know, into the water. Towards the water, yeah.
[00:02:15] And I know we're taking a boat ride out. Oh, that'd be fun to watch it there. That's right. They do that in a lot of the coastal communities like Marblehead and stuff. It's nice to be out in the harbor and you get a great view of the fireworks. Remember one year we saw my wife and I saw the fireworks sitting by the USS Constitution in Charlestown. Yeah. Watching them as they set them off at the Esplanade. That was very exciting.
[00:02:43] Well, last year what happened, though, was we get a lot of fog down here and it was so foggy you could barely see them.
[00:02:53] I was kind of disappointed. All the kids were disappointed, too.
[00:02:58] Oh, that's too bad. I hope it's a nice clear night this time. Okay, here's Mike, our friend down in Marshfield. Boy, if I got something to tell you two guys, you and Juana.
[00:03:10] What is that? Well, Plymouth is having the big ships come in for the 16th, 17th and 18th down to Plymouth. They've got a huge thing going on and WBZ is sponsoring it here. You two guys don't know WBZ is sponsoring the whole thing. I didn't know that. Yeah, I should have known that. I should read the memos. But they sent so damn many memos. You go crazy trying to get. I didn't get a memo on it. You didn't get a memo on it? No. They probably just sent it to television.
[00:03:41] They are here.
[00:03:42] It was in the newspaper the last weekend. Newspaper gave the itinerary of everything that's going on. Well, you miss a newspaper. All the tall ships are coming in.
[00:03:50] Yeah, all the tall ships are coming. All but two that are going to be aboard. All but two? Yep. There's going to. I think there's going to be 37 or 38 of them because I just went down just last week to get tickets to go out there and they told me only four or five.
[00:04:06] Yeah, and the Captain John's boats is going to be the. Yeah, that's the one I'm taking out. Yeah. Yeah, they're going to do the whole thing.
[00:04:16] I don't know why they told me that then. Oh, well, I don't know. Tell them, you know Mike from Marshville. Yeah, that'll do it. And don't tell them that the guy down at the wbz, if you do tell them, just say the guy at bz. They won't know who you're talking about. He didn't even know about it. Don't tell him that. You don't have to go out on a boat to see them, though. Can't you just sit at the waterfront? Yeah, Marshfield and Duxbury are going to see a lot of them right from shore.
[00:04:42] And then when you get into Plymouth harbor, there'd probably be about. Probably no more than, I would say, 10 or 15 in Plymouth Harbor. There's not that much room to bring any more in. So what are they going to do? Are they going to open up the beaches? Like, could I go down to Duxbury, walk across the bridge and see it for free. Yep. Walk across the bridge and you'll be able to see all probably, I'd say, 60% of the activity from there. What day is that?
[00:05:06] It's the 16th, 17th and 18th. Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Friday? Saturday, Sunday. There'll be a big thing in the Patriot legend this whole. Thursday or Friday on it.
[00:05:18] And of course, we at bz, as soon as we get the memo, we'll pass the word along to you.
[00:05:23] Actually, Tom, BZ is co sponsoring it with the radio station in Plymouth, wplmd.
[00:05:33] I'll call down the WPLM and see if they can give me some information on that. BZ Radio is sponsoring. With the Plymouth. I mean, BZTV with the Plymouth station. No, WBC radio and WPLM radio. Or postmortem. Oh, we're working with another radio station. Yep. That's very nice. Okay, good. Hey, we got. Also playing the dumb birthday game with us, we have Tom, who's out in Menden. Hi, Tom. Hey.
[00:05:58] That's the whole business, huh? Okay. Good to have you with us. We also have the lady with a very sexy voice besides Lynn, who has a sexy voice, too. This is Kristen, who's in Dorchester. Hi, Kristen. Good morning, Norm. Good morning, Kristen.
[00:06:12] How you doing? Okay.
[00:06:14] How are you? I'm okay, too. I'm glad you're on for the rest of the week. Well, thank you very much. I had nothing much to do. I just hang around the house getting into trouble.
[00:06:23] So I thought, hey, go in and do it. Put my fuzzy slippers on. That's right, my fuzzy slippers, my smoking jacket and all that kind of stuff. Hey, Tony Nesbit's with us, too. Hi, Tony. Hold on. I have to catch my breath.
[00:06:36] WBZ is working with another station.
[00:06:39] Hold on. Wait a minute. That's kind of crazy, isn't it? Huh? I was hyperventilating when I heard that. Okay. How are you? Okay. How are you doing, Tony? Doing okay. It's such a pleasure to be on with everyone here, but not against anybody else, but especially Kristen, who I haven't talked to in so long.
[00:06:55] Hello, Tom. Hello, Kristen. How are you? Good. How are you? Okay. Oh, this is Jesse. Sweet.
[00:07:02] I think I'm going to be nauseous.
[00:07:05] And of course, we have Lynn Palumbo with us. Also with us today. Lynn. Hello. Hello. Oh, I'm smack dab in the middle of both of them. I like that.
[00:07:14] I already said hello to you, haven't I, Lynn? Haven't? No, I haven't I think I started talking before you said hello to me. Oh, now I'll say hello to you officially. Okay, so Lynn is going game. And also, of course. Oh, wait a minute. Hold on. I hit the wrong button. Just let this play through. It's okay.
[00:07:29] Don't get too excited, Jack. The sound of the open road. Let me see if I can. No, just leave it. Just let it go. Just let it go. No, that's okay. But I. I don't have the thing here to bring in. All right, one second. The little blue box on the side that says traffic that you always hit accidentally. No, no, I didn't. You can hit that one, though. No, this is not. This doesn't appear to be on there just at the moment. If you'd hold on just one second.
[00:07:51] Oh, here it is. Okay, we're all set. How you doing, Jack?
[00:07:54] Oh, I just got in.
[00:07:57] I'm well. And you?
[00:07:59] We don't have to go through that. We've been talking to each other since Monday. What do you ask me? How are you? Are you well?
[00:08:05] Well, I wanted to make it sound fresh and spontaneous. That's really nice for people who just tuned in, but I know it came up stale. Yeah, it came out really yucky. Nothing.
[00:08:15] Okay. There are a lot of interesting people who were born in this day. Really a lot of political people.
[00:08:21] I know that turns your blood cold, but for example, one of those people born on this day, July 2nd, was John Sununu. I always thought John Sununu, if he married Minnehaha and then divorced, and then she divorced him to marry Randy Vataha.
[00:08:42] I don't know what turned out to be a funny name. You can work it out any way you want and then maybe marry Don Ho. Oh, Don Ho. Haha. Hehe. Hey. Hey.
[00:08:52] Anyway, Lorna, starting early. Starting early. Oh, this thing never stops. It's continuing since last week. Lorna, let me ask you, how old you think that John Sununu. Vataha, how old is Lorna today? I mean, how old is.
[00:09:13] I mean, not how old is Lorna today? How old is John Sununu? Howdy, Lorna. How you doing? Hi, how are you?
[00:09:21] Don't ask. Oh, another. Another matchmaker.
[00:09:25] I try to get my kids married quickly. I'm sorry. Go ahead. Please get them out of the house. 52. 52.
[00:09:32] Okay. And Mike, what do you think?
[00:09:35] I say 53. 53. Okay. And Tom?
[00:09:40] I'll guess 56. 56 for the former chief of staff, fired in disgrace and sent back to New Hampshire where he had to pay his own plane fare that time. That's right, he did. Yes. And he's in Salem, New Hampshire, which probably has the worst zoning laws of any city in the entire country.
[00:09:59] Why do you say that?
[00:10:02] Because it does. I mean, and don't you forget it. That's right, too. That's because we're New Hampshire folks. We don't believe in regulation or laws or anything.
[00:10:12] We just every man from self man. And if we want to put a manure factory next to a expensive residential home, that's our business. Okay?
[00:10:21] And I'm John Sununu. I'm John Sununu and I believe in free enterprise. Anyway, Kristen, what do you think?
[00:10:29] Who we talking about?
[00:10:31] I don't. I don't remember. To tell you the truth, I kind of lost my place. No, we're talking John Sununu. Okay, I'll say 58. 58. Okay. And what do you think, Lynn?
[00:10:43] 54. 54. Okay. Jack, you know, people were always curious as to the events in his life. People were always saying, hey, what's the new new. Yeah, you're gonna continue those. Those really sucky jokes.
[00:11:02] You know, I wake up sometimes in a cold sweat and I remember one of your lines and my will.
[00:11:14] So what do you think? How old is John Sununu today? Oh, 57. 57.
[00:11:21] Now, that wasn't funny, Tony. What do you say? What if he owns a new farm?
[00:11:27] Not. Not. Well, not new as in old new. But if he had news on would be a sunny new news farm. Yeah.
[00:11:38] And if he did just buy it, it would have been his Sununu's new new farm. What's your guess?
[00:11:45] 50? I'll say 55.
[00:11:49] Well, I'm glad we're through my jokes. Are you babysitting, Tony? Why? Well, if you are, just take the sheet off the baby's bed because you never played this game without a crib sheet.
[00:12:05] Wow, that was cold. That was a long way to go for Joey. That was. Wasn't it, though? Okay, the actual age of John Sununu is 53, which is what Mike Marshall said.
[00:12:20] Wow. But I didn't. Yeah. No, that's so John. So Mike has won the first round. John Sununu is 53 years old today. See, that was Mike's subtle way of saying he has a crib sheet. Now he gets the answer right, see? Okay. Hey, Cheryl Ladd, the actress who also. Does she peddle cosmetics and a whole bunch of other stuff on those. Does she what cosmetics?
[00:12:44] Pedal cosmetics. Oh, I'm sorry. Hasn't she Settled all that stuff. Thought I heard something else.
[00:12:49] What do you, what do you say, Cheryl Ladd? Let's start with you, Tony. How old is Cheryl Ladd? Any relation to Alan? Oh, shut up. No. Is it. Oh, I don't know. Maybe it is. Maybe. Is it his daughter? No, it would be his granddaughter if it would.
[00:13:03] Could be his granddaughter. There's an Alan Ladd, not an Alan Ladd. There's another David Ladd, I think, who is a big movie executive who is the son of Alan Ladd.
[00:13:13] Now, it could be Cheryl was. Okay, that's enough. I, I, I, you know, one of. One of the lads is either a father or grandfather. Actually, she's not one of the lads. She's the last.
[00:13:29] Oh, God. Death would. No, she walked into an antique lamp store, you know, she walked into an antique lamp store and someone announced, look, Aladdin. Tony, Tony, how old, how old is Cheryl Ladd today?
[00:13:41] Can you shut up long enough just to tell me that? I don't think so. Yeah, 40. 40. Back away from the phone. Yeah, could you, could you back away a little bit, Tony? 40.
[00:13:51] Is that better? 40 is better. What am I whispering? No, your whispering is as loud as you're loud talking.
[00:13:58] 40. Okay? And. No, no, no, no, no. I'm saying 40 something. Do you mind lower your voice a little bit, Tony. Well, the level's too high. That's why. I know that. But, but Blynn is in the studio here. She can't control your level. So we're kind of hoping that you as a pro will be 47. 47 years. Is that better? Wow. That's much better. Okay. Okay. Jack, what do you think? This is Cheryl Ladd, right? This is Cheryl Ladd? Yeah. Okay.
[00:14:25] Who'd you think we were talking about? Well, I mean, when he said four, I was thinking Diane Ladd maybe, but she'll be 42. 42.
[00:14:33] And what do you say, Lynn? 41. 41. Kristen?
[00:14:38] 40. 40.
[00:14:41] Okay. And Tony? Tom, what was the name of that game show?
[00:14:46] That's, that's, I don't know if it's name that lad. No. Well, would they bid on the prizes? Password? No.
[00:14:54] They used to have this game show where you bid on the prizes and there was always one person that bid one.
[00:14:59] Price is Right.
[00:15:01] Yeah. On show lad. I almost feel like bidding one because I think everyone bid too high on that one.
[00:15:09] Is that what you were leading? She was a former Charlie's Angel. She has got to be up there with Farrah Fawcett and. Hey, hey, Lynn, you already made your Guess so. Don't give clues to anybody else because you'll blow your whole chance to. To win a wonderfully tacky prize. Tom, what do you say? Well, I'm gonna be a little bitter and I'm gonna say 39.
[00:15:29] I'm not gonna do anything with that. I just don't wanna. Just a little.
[00:15:34] Maybe just a little. Okay, Mike, what do you say? I'm gonna say 47. 47.
[00:15:42] Okay. And Lorna? 46. 46. Okay. We'll get there. Actual age. I have to tell you, first of all, that I got two different ages for. Remember I told you I have two different sources to check birthdays of people? What are they, 10 years apart? No, they're not. They're very close. One is 41 and one is 40.
[00:16:05] I mean, let me just check to make sure that I got them both right.
[00:16:09] That is correct. 41 and 40 are the two.
[00:16:14] Are the two guesses. So we had. Let me see. We had. Lynn said 41 and Kristen said 40.
[00:16:21] So we'll mark you both right because I don't know which. Which one is correct.
[00:16:25] Thanks, Norm.
[00:16:26] Hey, that's okay. My pleasure.
[00:16:30] How about Imelda Marcos? I guess when you think of shoes, you think of Imelda Marcos, former Philippine first lady. Yeah. What a heel.
[00:16:39] You don't get any better with age, do you?
[00:16:46] She toes the line, though.
[00:16:48] She toes the line, yeah.
[00:16:51] Anybody got a foot joke?
[00:16:55] She's the last of one of the big shoe buyers.
[00:17:00] Last of one of the big shoe buyers.
[00:17:05] Okay, Krista, let's start with him and talk over Jack Hart's voice. Okay? Okay. Oh, my goodness. Okay, how old is Imelda Marcos today?
[00:17:18] Well, if I divide the amount of shoes she has with her IQ and then add the length of the major river in the Philippines.
[00:17:30] Divide how many fingers she has. That's right. And add on how old the.
[00:17:37] Never mind how old. Would you. What's the number you come up with?
[00:17:42] 59. 59.
[00:17:45] Okay. Let me ask you, Mike, what do you say?
[00:17:50] I'd have to say 62. 62.
[00:17:54] Okay. And Jack, what do you say? I think I'll be right in step with, say, 62.
[00:18:05] Isn't he. Isn't he a nightmare?
[00:18:08] What? Corn.
[00:18:10] Oh, Lorna, what do you say besides yuk?
[00:18:17] I don't know.
[00:18:18] She's so heavy, it's hard to tell.
[00:18:21] She's so happy. She's so heavy, it's hard to tell sometimes.
[00:18:25] Is she a big fat lady now? She's a little chunky. Yeah. A little chunky.
[00:18:30] You don't think so. Oh, I don't know. I just don't remember.
[00:18:35] I'll say 58. 58, okay. And Lynn? 58 was my guess. Also 58. Also right in Tuno. We're right in tune. Only we never win.
[00:18:50] Maybe this will be. That's what I told her off air. I was like, I never win. Don't worry about it.
[00:18:55] Oh, Tom, what do you say?
[00:18:57] I say 63. 63, you say? And what do you say, Tony? Do you know that instead of having mirrored ceilings in her house, she has mirrors all around the bottoms of the floor?
[00:19:10] That's a one. How kinky.
[00:19:13] Yeah. See the point? Like a shoe.
[00:19:17] Oh, I think. I think 60s are shoeing. Oh.
[00:19:21] Okay, let's get the actual age of Imelda Marcos and move on with this one quickly.
[00:19:27] She's actually. She's actually 63, which is what Tom said. Wow. Tom hit it right on the button. Very good for you, Tom. All right, so he nailed it.
[00:19:37] Oh, geez. Jack is never. I wouldn't have been a stew joke somewhere in that, but. No, it's okay. Not enough sleep.
[00:19:44] No, you were a class act. You didn't try to compete with Jack. Anybody who does goes to his doom.
[00:19:52] You'll end up doing traffic all night long, talking about drunks coming out at 2:30 and changing tiles and light bulbs. And if that's the way you want to spend your life, good luck to you. I say, hey, Norm, be not. Oh, I'm sorry. That sounded bitter, didn't it? And it wasn't bitter. Jack, we all love you. Oh, thank you so very darn much. What do you say?
[00:20:15] Listen to the rest of the program. I'll say it a lot more, probably just so darn.
[00:20:22] Okay, we have the birthday also today, July 2, of the daughter of President Lyndon Johnson, Lucy Baines Johnson, who's now Lucy Baines Johnson Turpin.
[00:20:37] Remember there used to be an actor, a silent movie actor named Ben Turpin. I can't believe she married him.
[00:20:44] You wouldn't remember Ben Tirpit. He's a comic whose eyes crossed. He was a funny looking guy. Anyway. Lucy Baines Johnson Turpin. Why would we remember?
[00:20:53] Well, I don't know. Maybe you've seen silent movies, you know, and he was. I know you won't believe this, but he was before my time too. But I loved silent movies, so I used to watch it.
[00:21:02] Okay, she married him and he was in silent movies. No, I'm. I'm saying it. His name was Ben Turpin. Her Marriage name is Turpin. She's obviously married to somebody else, but they have the same name as. Did she hyphenate that name? No, she does not. But I. But I do understand that she's planning on marrying again a fellow named Harry Tyne. And she's going to be Lucy Turpentine.
[00:21:30] I was trying to think of something and I didn't. And I'm glad you wasted our time with it. She never marry a guy named Hydrating. And she's going to be terpenhydrate at one point, but she changed her mind.
[00:21:42] Oh, shut up.
[00:21:44] Oh, geez. Lorna, let's start with you, Lucy. Oh, did you have to? Yeah, we have to. It's terribly important we start with you, Lucy Baines Johnson Turpin. How old would you say? I have it the foggiest idea.
[00:21:58] I don't know, 43. 43. Okay. And what do you say, Mike? I'll say 44. 44. And Tom? 49.
[00:22:08] And Kristen?
[00:22:10] 45. 45.
[00:22:13] And Lynn?
[00:22:15] 36. 36. Okay.
[00:22:20] And what do you say, Jack? And I've got. I don't know. I'm gonna hate myself for even asking.
[00:22:27] I'll just say a very simp.
[00:22:29] Oh, you're so kind. I really knew that was close.
[00:22:33] Tony, what do you say? Oh, I'll say a Very complicated 50. Very complicated 50. Okay.
[00:22:40] Lucy Baines Johnson Turpin is actually 45, which is what Kristen said.
[00:22:48] Very good, Kristen. And you, Lorna, who had no idea at all, were very close. Also is Mike Very good. What is this horrible scoring update, please. The scoring update indicates that you're right down in the toilets with nothing.
[00:23:02] And I don't care to go through. I feel a little flushed, Jack. Speaking of bad segues, Jack and Lorna both have not scored yet, but they're ready to score. I know. All of you. I see. And Mike has one, Tom has one, Lynn has one, and Kristen has two. So Kristen is leading the pack right now. Didn't Tom have two?
[00:23:30] Tom?
[00:23:31] No, Tom had one. Yep. Yeah, Tom had one. Yeah.
[00:23:35] Polly Holiday. Remember Polly Holiday? She was on Alice. Yeah. Remember? She was the Southern woman. Kiss my grits.
[00:23:42] What'd she say? Kiss my grits. My grits. That's right. What was her last name?
[00:23:48] That's right. Flo was her character name. Polly Holiday is her real name. Who is she? Polly Holiday. She was on Alice. Remember the, the. Oh, she said the beehive hairdo. Oh, yeah.
[00:24:00] Okay, we'll start. Let's start with Tony on this one. Thanks, Polly. Holiday, what do you say?
[00:24:06] What do you say, baby? How old is she, baby? What do you hit for the long ball, baby? We need a hit. Bring the runner in from third.
[00:24:17] Probably want a cracker that has nothing.
[00:24:21] I thought I'd say that's crazy.
[00:24:24] Like a Southern joke. Microphones go on and people just kind of flow out of their mouths. Anything that comes.
[00:24:29] It's open mic night at the TV studio. Stream of consciousness, man.
[00:24:34] 55. 55.
[00:24:39] And, Jack, it's appropriate that we have her in this Fourth of July week. Polly Holiday. Polly Holiday. Yes.
[00:24:47] I'll say 52.
[00:24:49] Anybody want to make a joke with a cracker in it? I already said. Did you miss it?
[00:24:55] I did miss it. Yeah. I made a crack.
[00:24:58] I made a crack about that. Made a crack about that before. I see. I felt like a real crumb later on.
[00:25:06] I think when Jack fakes the laugh, it's a lot more funny when he really is laughing.
[00:25:13] And Lynn, what do you say?
[00:25:16] 53. 53. Okay.
[00:25:22] Jack.
[00:25:23] Yes, Krista, wasn't that funny?
[00:25:27] What do you say, Kristen, how old do you think Polly Holiday is? I think she's a seasonal 50. A seasonal 50, like in seasonal Holiday. Holiday. I think we all get that. And it's rich, ribald humor that has had its best.
[00:25:40] Wow. Yeah. That's wonder. Wonderful stuff.
[00:25:44] But if a jacket said that, I would say, yick.
[00:25:50] I happen to be a man's man who loves women. That's why. Anyway, Norm, the man's man. Yeah.
[00:26:02] Tom, how old is Billie Holiday?
[00:26:04] Holiday.
[00:26:07] Billie Holiday. She's very old. Polly Holiday. Yes. I'd say she was about 64. 64. Polly Holiday. 64. And Mike, what do you say?
[00:26:19] I'll say 56.
[00:26:22] And Lorna? 54. 54. Okay. The actual age.
[00:26:27] And Tony hit it right on the button was 55. Get out of here. I got one, man. That's the limit.
[00:26:33] Yeah, that's. And that's it. Well, we got Thurgood Marshall. Remember, he's the former Supreme Court justice replaced by Clarence Thomas and not much of a replacement. If I may add a political note, we ought to be able to come up with some good jokes for this one. For Thurgood Marshall? No, for Clarence Thomas. Yeah. Let's not give him.
[00:26:57] Actually, we're not guessing his age. We're guessing Thurgood Marshall's age.
[00:27:01] And we'll start with.
[00:27:03] We'll start with you, Jack. Okay. You know, when he was younger, he was just Thurgood Sheriff.
[00:27:08] I would say that he's.
[00:27:11] It gets worse. It gets Worse every second. I thought it was pretty creative, but. Creative? They're good. Sheriff, very bad.
[00:27:18] And his younger brother, the deputy, I gotta say, he's. He's very old.
[00:27:26] If anybody decided to.
[00:27:28] To decide what kind of jokes you told, we could call you Thor. Bad Marshall. But that's as bad as what this guy says. I lowered myself.
[00:27:38] His depths.
[00:27:40] Okay. I'm so ashamed.
[00:27:45] Okay, Thurgood Marshall, how old would he be?
[00:27:49] I have a feeling that he's about 89.
[00:27:52] About 89. Okay. Why do you have this feeling, Jack? Oh, I don't know.
[00:27:58] Kind of curious. I don't know.
[00:28:01] This time when I did, you know, it gets lower. You start to think poor guys over at the Prudential center sitting there, looking at no traffic, trying to make up, fictionalize what's really happening. Having feelings with their good mind. Yeah. Yeah. So just for. Just for the age. 89.
[00:28:20] So he gets turned down by saying numbers.
[00:28:24] Mike, Mike, Mike. How old do you think Thurgood Marshall is? I'll say he's 83. 83. Okay. And Kristen, let's see.
[00:28:35] I'll say 85. 85. What do you say, Lynn?
[00:28:42] 73. 73.
[00:28:45] Okay. Some. They don't even get appointed till they're about 97.
[00:28:50] I made that up. That wasn't exactly true.
[00:28:53] All right, so I got it wrong. Let's move on.
[00:28:57] No, so wait a minute. You said, you said. Now what did you say again? 73. 73. Okay. Tom, what do you say?
[00:29:03] 82.
[00:29:06] And Tony. Oh, he's a supreme 89. Oh, and Lorna? 87. 87. Okay. The actual age of Thurgood Marshall is 84.
[00:29:20] So we had two winners. We had Mike. He's retired early. Yeah, he's young actually, in a sense he is. So we got to Mike, who said 83, and we had Kristen, who said 85.
[00:29:31] So you guys, Krishna's got three correct answers. Mike has two.
[00:29:39] And Lynn and Tony, Tom all have one apiece.
[00:29:45] And Lorna and Jack, they have their memories, happier days.
[00:29:54] How about. Also born July 2 was Jose Conseco of the Oakland A's. Outfielder, big hitter, all that kind of stuff.
[00:30:05] And kind of a creep. Yeah, in a way, kind of a creep. Big muscle bound creep. The kind that I imagine most women hate. They'd rather have older, fragile kind of guys like me.
[00:30:18] Older, fragile, fat guys like me. Anyway, let's start with you, Krista.
[00:30:24] Okay, let me see.
[00:30:28] Eh, No, I believe it's. Jose, can you. Oh, sorry. If I thought of it, I would have said it.
[00:30:35] How many how come nobody complains about anybody else's jokes?
[00:30:40] They're all pretty raunchy, so don't feel badly, Chad.
[00:30:46] I think he's a nice, creepy 27. 27 years old for Jose Canseco.
[00:30:55] Okay. And Lynn, what do you say? Is he playing now? Yes, he is not right this minute.
[00:31:02] Although he may be playing right this very minute. He'll come an extra inning game over there. Well, you.
[00:31:07] You know how ball plays. Well, she didn't ask playing what. But yeah, that's true.
[00:31:11] Oh, this is baddie.
[00:31:14] No, but he is active in the major league baseball. He's probably trying to get to first base right now.
[00:31:19] Well, if he's with Madonna right now, he's already passed first base.
[00:31:23] That's right. At the grand slam. So you kind of. You kind of hope he just don't even know Madonna.
[00:31:29] You hope he scores. Is that the idea?
[00:31:32] Oh, nor plus he takes time off of that seventh inning stretch.
[00:31:37] I will try. I didn't say that. I have a feeling this is too old, but I'll say 32. 32. Okay. Right now he may be heading for home.
[00:31:46] Boy, Norm, you're batting a thousand.
[00:31:49] Yeah, I'm really rotten.
[00:31:52] Tom, what do you say? How old is Jose Conseco?
[00:31:56] 28. 28.
[00:31:59] Okay. And Lorna?
[00:32:02] 27. 27. Since I don't know who he is. You don't know who you. Me neither. No.
[00:32:10] Oh, girls, I know who he is.
[00:32:13] Okay? I just want to make that put that I am a girl that knows baseball.
[00:32:18] Okay, you are a woman.
[00:32:21] Well, whatever.
[00:32:23] Tony, what do you say? I wonder who he's got in his on deck circle now. Oh, geez, that is. Isn't that reaching? Boy, that is really reaching. Reaching? Who's he got on his on deck circle? Oh, gee, I don't get it. I was gonna say I'd like to be in Christmas on deck circle, but. Oh, that would have been better.
[00:32:42] You want to guess how old Jose Canseco is? 28. Yeah, his wife is sleeping. How much did you say? 28. 28. No, she's probably working and has the show on it. And tomorrow I'll be served with papers.
[00:32:56] Smack them one.
[00:32:57] Okay. What do you say, Jack?
[00:33:00] 29. 29. Okay. And Mike? I'll say 29 with Jack. 29 with Jack.
[00:33:07] Okay, straightforward.
[00:33:09] The actual age of Jose Canseco today, this very day, July 2, is 28. And so Tony and Tom both win that round. Man. So Tom and Tony both now have two correct answers, however.
[00:33:27] Yeah, but Christian still leads with three. And we have one more to go.
[00:33:32] I think this is the most famous people born on any day we've had. Yeah, a lot of well known people won on this very, very day. It's just. That's why it's just been so darn exciting playing this swell game. So you got to wonder what was going on in November of all those several years. You do. I was wondering that very same thing, Jack. Isn't that amazing? I think we all can figure that one out now, though.
[00:33:54] Okay, how about James? Jimmy McNichol? He's Christy McNichol's brother, is he not? Yeah. Okay. Well, he was born on this day. Jimmy McNichol. Where is he now? Jimmy McNichol. Surprised? They didn't even have him in a celebrity birthday file.
[00:34:10] I really. I had to reach for this one. Didn't he record a couple of songs? Doo Doo Run Run. No Cassidy. Oh, yeah. They sing a song, though. Yeah. Christy McNichol and Jimmy McNichol sang a little tune somewhere along the line. Yeah.
[00:34:26] Okay, let's. I understand they didn't make a Mcdime off of it.
[00:34:34] Nobody said he was working at McDonald's or anything, too. That's really nice. I'm pleased with that.
[00:34:39] But you just said it.
[00:34:41] No, I just. Well, yes, I suppose in a sense, I guess I did.
[00:34:45] Lorna, we'll start with you. How old is Jimmy McNichol?
[00:34:48] I don't know who he is either. Yeah, he plays right field for the Oakland Athletics.
[00:34:54] Big burly guy. Kind of creepy, though, right?
[00:34:59] Let me see. He says her younger, younger brother. I don't know how old Christy McNichol is. Oh, okay. But they're both close to the same age, I think. Probably.
[00:35:09] Okay. I would say 26. 26.
[00:35:14] Okay. And Mike?
[00:35:18] 27. 27.
[00:35:21] Tom, what do you think? 32? 32.
[00:35:25] And Kristen?
[00:35:27] 30. 30.
[00:35:31] Such a sweet voice. Thank you. Lynn, what do you say?
[00:35:36] 33. 33. Okay. And Jack?
[00:35:42] 30.
[00:35:44] What do you think, Tony?
[00:35:46] 20? 27. 27.
[00:35:52] Okay.
[00:35:54] The actual age of Jimmy McNicol is 31.
[00:36:01] So that would mean that Christie, Kristen Rather and Jack both said 30. All right. Jack. Yahoo.
[00:36:10] And Tom, who said 32.
[00:36:13] Both would be. All three of them would be the closest of all of them. And so, as we finish this really swell game, let's see who actually has won. We have. Lorna. You have made an interesting addition to the program. Although through. Through bad luck, have not won a single round.
[00:36:36] That's all right.
[00:36:38] It was very nice. Well, it was nice having you with us anyway. But hold on A minute. All these lovely jokes.
[00:36:44] Aren't they wonderful?
[00:36:46] You could tell them I wrote everyone down.
[00:36:49] You can use them at a Fourth of July party.
[00:36:52] Okay. Mike has. Let me see. Mike has two and Tom had three and Kristen had four.
[00:37:02] Actually, Kristen is. Actually, Kristen is the winner of all of this. Yeah. She calls and every time Bob's on vacation and you fill in, she calls and she wins.
[00:37:13] Yeah, well, she's very. She has that time to study. See.
[00:37:16] I suppose that's right. Yeah.
[00:37:18] Lynn had won. That was okay, Lynn.
[00:37:23] Oh, I mean, compared to Lorna, you. You did 100% better than she did compared to what I normally do.
[00:37:30] And the Jack had won also. Same. You and Jack were tied. I have to apologize for Lorna. I told her that I would be with her and that we would both get nothing. And I'm really sorry that I know Diane Ladd's age. Maybe you should relinquish your point.
[00:37:44] Relinquish it? Yeah. Right. And Tony had to. Maybe not.
[00:37:50] Tony had two.
[00:37:51] So the winner actually is Kristen. And in a moment, Kristen, you hold on. We'll take your name and address and a WBZ hit man will be out there in lieu of the prize. I will be with you, Kristen. Okay. You're gonna get a. You're gonna get a letter with all these new joke funds. That's right. You'll get a copy of all of the Jack Hart joke book.
[00:38:14] And if that's worth anything. Do you.
[00:38:17] A pity.
[00:38:19] I think I found that in Harvard Square with the COVID ripped off of one of those stands. It's not exactly a book, more of a pamphlet.
[00:38:27] Is there a tape recording of the laughter?
[00:38:30] There is a 16 track cassette stereo thing. Oh, stereo. It's in stereo of all the jokes heard on this program. Or you can write directly to the Library of Congress.
[00:38:44] Anyway, Lorna, thank you very much for playing the game.
[00:38:48] It was nice to have you. You too. Take care now. And. And Mike, thank you for tipping her off to the tall ships and stuff. It's always a pleasure, Norm. It's always a pleasure with you. And thank you with us rather. And thank you very much. Thank you, sir. Okay. Tom, was this your first crack at this? Yep. Absolutely. Well, it was nice to have you with us and I appreciate that. Tell me where Menden. I know where Menden. No, that's near Providence, you said. Right. It's just North Oonsocket.
[00:39:15] Okay. I know a guy who had a business there.
[00:39:17] He used to put up like, gates and things. It was called Mending Fences.
[00:39:22] Oh, Jesus. I'm sorry, Tom.
[00:39:26] Well, I'll have to watch like old repeats of Johnny Carson so I can be all stocked up on puns. The next time I come on the air, just discard the really funny ones, okay?
[00:39:38] Otherwise, you'll be way ahead of everybody. It's a long time, but thanks a million. Okay, thanks. Bye. Bye now. Okay. And also. Oh, no, Kristen, you're going to hang on because you're the winner. Tony, thank you very much. Hey, Norm, you were talking about the Boston gas tanks. Yes, I believe you mentioned the other one doesn't have anything on it, you said.
[00:39:58] Well, yeah. One of our young listeners, Eric, who's 13, said if they're going to tear down the one with all the lovely designs on it, the rainbow and keep. And then transfer that onto the other one. Paint the other one. Why don't they just tear down the one that does not have anything on it? I know, I heard that. Yeah. Do you know what the reason would be? No, no, but the, the other one, if they're going to repaint the other one, the other one does have something on it, has the Boston Gas logo.
[00:40:26] But you're right. You're absolutely right. It makes no sense. Anything maybe to raise money, you know, unless there's some reason why there is a reasonable one. Well, the, the one with the design. Hold on a second. I'm getting. I'm getting reasons in my earphones from the lovely Lynn in the.
[00:40:44] Oh, I see. It's the nearer one.
[00:40:48] Yeah, the one that's near. Oh, it's new. Oh, it's newer. It's newer. And it also holds. One apparently has a greater capacity, but they're going to eliminate a complete tank.
[00:40:57] Well, apparently one tank holds.
[00:41:00] They only need one tank and so they're keeping the larger one and the newer one. I suppose that makes sense. And it'll keep people busy putting new. The new rainbow on it. That'd be nice. That'd be very nice. I will see you tomorrow night or tomorrow at this very same place. You bet. Okay. And as usual, he hung up on me again. And that was really only fair. And I thank you very, very much. Jack, we'll get your latest traffic report that you'll be making up right now in about 10 minutes. Yes, Indee. Well, thank you very much. Okay, take care now.
[00:41:34] And anyway. Oh, okay. I guess, Lenny, you're talking to Kristen and getting. No, did we lose Kristen?
[00:41:44] Oh, you got Kristen. Okay. Getting Kristen's name and address so that we can send. I don't know why that's such a big deal because the prize that we sent out is so tacky and really nothingness that I don't know that anybody care to win it. But we'll send something out and I still owe some for about a week and two weeks ago, including to our friend Norman. The North End. I'm sorry I haven't forgotten you. I just haven't gotten anything tacky enough from the WBZ Tacky Gift Shop. Thank you.
[00:42:11] Okay, 254-1030 area code 617. We'll take some more calls in just a bit. This summer, if you want to be where the action is, you have two choices. Fly all the way to Barcelona or come.

[00:44:46] Anyway, the five day. Incidentally, somebody had mentioned we're trying to figure the relationship between Cheryl Ladd and Alan Ladd, the actor.
[00:44:55] And it would appear that David Ladd, who's a big movie butt. Movie mogul, is Alan Ladd's son.
[00:45:03] And David Ladd married Cheryl Ladd and that's how her name happens to be Ladd and how she's related to the rest of the family. Okay, five day WBZ AccuWeather forecast from meteorologist Roy Gallant.

[00:45:57] I listen to a lot of AM shows, talk shows.
[00:46:03] This one here hit home. I'd like to make a few comments on some of the previous callers. Sure, sure.
[00:46:10] First of all, which of the women knew about baseball?
[00:46:18] Lynn. Lynn, I think. No. Did. No, it's Kristen. Kristen of. Yeah, Kristen said she knew about baseball? Yeah. Oh, okay. Well, that's impressive. Not because she won or anything, just because she knows about baseball. This is something I don't have the time for. I wish I had more time for it, Jeffrey.
[00:46:40] My God, I'm glad there is someone out there who.
[00:46:45] I'm glad I'm not alone on the loud music issue. Does that bother you too? Huh? Oh, Jeffrey. Now, he was the fellow who said he lowered the volume right when he was at next to people because he had consideration for other people.
[00:47:00] Okay. But he loved to play it loud when he was on the road, which. Which is. Okay. That there's no problem there. Yeah. Excellent. I can appreciate that quite a bit, actually.
[00:47:12] Let's see. Charles.
[00:47:15] I'd like to just kind of put his mind at ease. I am a serious Republican. I'm not rich.
[00:47:24] So there is proof that not all Republicans are rich. Okay. And not all Democrats are poor either. That's true. So that's true. Very truthful, Eric.
[00:47:35] Intelligent young man. No matter what you do Become a politician, please.
[00:47:41] Oh, the young guy. Yeah, yeah, the old 13 year old guy. Yes. Very intelligent young man. Yeah, he's a nice. Seems like a nice kid.
[00:47:53] Jack, work on it.
[00:47:56] I hope not because he'll only come up with. He'll come up with worse jokes if he starts to think about it too much. Did he. Is he the one who, who made the joke? The Christy McNichol joke didn't make a Mcdime.
[00:48:10] Well, I don't remember. Did he? Yeah, I guess he was. Yeah. Lynn is telling me. I think he's in the right direction there. That wasn't too bad. That wasn't too bad. No, that was better than some of the other ones. And last but not least, and this is the one that got to me a little bit here, Thomas, this is not critical or anything. I don't want him to get the wrong idea. I'm not jumping on him or anything. But the Rush thing, I have to say that I do agree probably a little more than 50% of what rush screams about and gets kind of ugly about.
[00:48:49] Well, just for the simple fact that I haven't had the easiest time in life. Okay.
[00:48:57] And a lot of the problems I've had is.
[00:49:01] Well, a lot of the problems that Rush seems to scream and get ugly about.
[00:49:05] This is understandable.
[00:49:08] It is.
[00:49:09] And again, I'm not trying to be critical of Thomas. I say this so that he may get a different point of view.
[00:49:17] I know he's 23. I'm 29 myself.
[00:49:23] It is very easy to laugh at people with, how you say, physical disabilities when you are very cute.
[00:49:34] No, I'm a big.
[00:49:36] I'm much overweight too, which is why I probably poke fun at fat people, because I feel self conscious about that myself. Oh, yeah, no, that was just good natured kidding. I didn't mean anything too terribly serious. Except I gotta go because we got news coming up and ABC network just does not wait. Okay, sir, thank you for the time. I appreciate the comments. Thanks a whole lot. Have a good one. Okay, you too. Bye bye.
