[00:01:31] Speaker C: Yeah, pretty well.
[00:01:33] Speaker B: Okay. As you know, the winner, the person who comes the closest to the most number of correct answers, most birthdays, wins really practically nothing. So even if you win, win or lose, you don't really gain much. Well, we just.
[00:01:48] Speaker C: Anyway.
[00:01:48] Speaker B: That's right. We sit around here and we giggle a lot and just have just so much fun. We have Rick, who's in the town of Merrimack. Is that Massachusetts or New Hampshire, Rick?
[00:01:59] Speaker C: Yes, it is. Mass.
[00:02:01] Speaker B: Massachusetts.
[00:02:01] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:02:02] Speaker B: Okay. I. I've. You very rarely run into people from Merrimack. It's kind of secluded there on the.
[00:02:08] Speaker C: Yeah, it's. It's kind of snuggled up here, but it's a nice little town. I used to live in Middleton.
[00:02:13] Speaker B: Oh, did you?
[00:02:13] Speaker C: Yeah, I still work down that way.
[00:02:15] Speaker B: Oh, do you. And you moved up to Merrimack?
[00:02:17] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:02:17] Speaker B: What's the. You know what the population is of Merrimack?
[00:02:20] Speaker C: I think it's around four, four and a half.
[00:02:23] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, you're a little bit. Yeah, we kind of climbed up the.
[00:02:26] Speaker C: Yeah, it's really developed down there.
[00:02:27] Speaker B: Yeah, we're about 6,200 now. We're a mighty metropolis.
[00:02:31] Speaker C: It's growing.
[00:02:32] Speaker B: We have traffic lights and everything. I can't bear it. Even lights that say this lane for a left turn and all kinds of things. We never would have Dreamed of before.
[00:02:41] Speaker C: It'S really taking off.
[00:02:43] Speaker B: There's a family in Merrimack. I'll see if before the end of the hour if I can think of their name.
One of whom got into broadcasting and I knew him when he was a young guy. Just thinking of it.
And he went out to the west coast anyways, that was the first time I'd ever even heard there was a Merrimack.
[00:02:59] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:02:59] Speaker B: Even though it's not that far away.
[00:03:00] Speaker C: Yeah. It's nestled between Haverhill and Amesbury.
[00:03:03] Speaker B: Right. Yeah. Okay, well, thank you very much. We're delighted that you're playing the game with us. Thank you. We have Claire, who is in Lawrence, who is not too far away from Merrimack. How you doing, Claire?
[00:03:15] Speaker C: Hi. Fine, Norm. How are you doing?
[00:03:17] Speaker B: I'm doing just fine, thank you. Have you played this with us before?
[00:03:20] Speaker C: No, I haven't. I play with you a lot.
I just hope I do as well off the air as I do on.
[00:03:29] Speaker B: I don't know, Claire, that. What you just said was just so exciting. Oh, yeah.
[00:03:33] Speaker C: Wonderful.
[00:03:33] Speaker B: You haven't played this game with me, but you play with me a lot anyway. What the heck. That's right. Okay, we have also our traffic guy, who is Ken Newman. Hi, Ken.
[00:03:44] Speaker D: Hello, Norm.
[00:03:45] Speaker B: Hello, everybody. Oh, you came on. He came on. Just a casual there. That was really nice the way you did that.
[00:03:51] Speaker D: That was. It's a technique I've been perfecting.
[00:03:53] Speaker B: I know that, you know, you perfected in the Punjab. You first began talking like that.
I'm glad I said that because that's. That's. I've been greeted with just all kinds of excitement.
Anyway, let's go to Hope Shower. Maybe she can rescue me from this.
[00:04:12] Speaker E: I'm always exciting, I think.
[00:04:15] Speaker B: No, no, she's not rescuing me at all.
Okay. Anyway, I'll give you guys and. And Girl and Woman a chance to guess the ages of people born in this day. Does that sound like an exciting concept to all of you? Let's hear it from you.
[00:04:30] Speaker D: That sounds good.
[00:04:31] Speaker B: Okay. That's good. We have. We have an exciting group here. That's good. Okay. Today's the birthday of John Tesh. Do you know John Tesh.
[00:04:40] Speaker E: The host and musician?
[00:04:42] Speaker B: That's right. He's the host of Entertainment Tonight. He is? That's correct. Hope. He is also a musician and composer with Lisa Givens.
That's right. He was. And now she's sort of soloing.
But you know about Lisa Givens anyway because you were on her show.
[00:04:58] Speaker D: Oh, yes.
Intimately.
[00:05:02] Speaker B: Also, he was one of the 1992 Olympic commentators.
He's married to Connie Celica, the actress, and he's performed some of his piano things with fairly good sized orchestras and stuff. Yeah, it's. So he's. He's the guy. Anyway, John Tesh reminds me very much of myself. Good looking, talented and kind of debonair.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I look in the mirror and looking at him is like looking in the mirror.
[00:05:38] Speaker C: Yeah. You like twins?
[00:05:39] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Hey, Larry, what do you think? How old do you think John Tesh is on this day? He was born July 9th.
[00:05:45] Speaker C: I wouldn't even notice that with him.
[00:05:47] Speaker B: But do you know who I'm talking about? You know John Tesh?
[00:05:51] Speaker C: No.
I'm gonna take a wild stab at about 61.
[00:05:56] Speaker B: About 61. Okay.
And Rick in Merrimack, what do you think?
[00:06:00] Speaker C: I'll say around 44.

[00:06:06] Speaker C: Oh, I think 57.
[00:06:09] Speaker B: 50. We have a wide range here, don't we? Hope. What do you say?
[00:06:14] Speaker E: I'm gonna say 38. And he toured with a group. Now, what group was it? I can't remember, but it's a big one.
[00:06:21] Speaker B: He toured with a group, Is a keyboardist.
[00:06:24] Speaker E: Yeah, yeah.
[00:06:25] Speaker B: Was it a classical group or rock group?
Rock group.
[00:06:29] Speaker C: Beach Boys, something like that, you think?
[00:06:32] Speaker E: I don't know.
Hey, I don't know.
[00:06:35] Speaker B: I'm hoping for.
[00:06:36] Speaker C: You brought it up.
[00:06:37] Speaker E: I know.
[00:06:37] Speaker B: Yeah, but that doesn't mean she knows what she's talking about.
Don't push it.
[00:06:41] Speaker E: True.
[00:06:42] Speaker B: Ken, what do you think?
[00:06:44] Speaker D: I think he's probably 40.
[00:06:47] Speaker B: 40? Okay. Actually, he's 43 years old today. July 9th. Yeah. He's 43. I think Rick.
Rick from Merrimack said 44. And he came the closest. See how easy this is, Rick, to win?
[00:07:01] Speaker C: This is simple.
[00:07:02] Speaker B: Yeah.
Within the next few weeks, you'll be getting one of our gifts and you'll say cheese.
[00:07:10] Speaker C: It's just beginning.
Yeah, that's why. Give it to me. Too soon?
No.
[00:07:15] Speaker B: And. And also it may encourage you to enter contests where they really have prizes that are worth winning.
Today's Tom Hanks. Here's a guy, one of the most successful of all actors. Last three movies. Apollo.
The Apollo movies and now has got some great reviews.
Well, sort of generally great reviews. He was in. It's doing good business. Philadelphia before two. Two pictures ago. And the last one, of course, Forrest Gump. I mean, he just can't miss.
He was born in Concord, California, which is up in the San Francisco area, north of San Francisco. Appeared in Dragnet with Dan Aykroyd in that movie received the Academy Award nomination for Big, A comic fantasy about a 12 year old who wishes to be big and suddenly finds he's grown into a 35 year old.
Other films include Punchline.
[00:08:15] Speaker D: I like that movie. Actually. It's kind of an obscure one. I thought that was real good Punchline.
[00:08:20] Speaker B: Yeah, that was when he was a stand up comic. Yeah, was. That was with the, with Sally Fields.
[00:08:27] Speaker D: Yep, that, that was that movie.
I don't know many people who have seen it, but I, I saw it and I think it. I don't know how I came to see it, but I just saw it by accident. I like it.
[00:08:36] Speaker B: It's been on TV a few times.
[00:08:39] Speaker D: Oh, that must be it. That must be it. I saw, I saw it in the theater and, and I know that it was, it wasn't there for very long.
[00:08:45] Speaker B: No, it wasn't one of the most successful movies. It was about both of them training to be, you know, stand up comics and stuff. He was in Turner and Hooch.
Was it Hooch, who was the dog?
Yeah, yeah.
Joe Versus the Volcano. It's kind of funny when you, when you think of the movies he's been in lately that have been such tremendous hits to remember some of these, these other things that he was in TV too.
[00:09:12] Speaker C: Right. He dressed up as a woman.
[00:09:13] Speaker B: Oh, that's right. What was the name of that? He was, he was in drag during that thing.
[00:09:17] Speaker E: Oh, that was that, yeah. The Hasty Pudding, the sitcom.
[00:09:21] Speaker D: Oh, Boys and Buddies.
[00:09:22] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, that's right. That's right. That's why, that's. What was this for? Probably his first break, he was in Sleepless in Seattle.
[00:09:30] Speaker C: Yeah, that was a good movie.
[00:09:31] Speaker B: What was sort of a good movie except he was in some scenes. And who was the woman? Was that?
[00:09:38] Speaker D: Meg Ryan.
[00:09:39] Speaker B: Meg Ryan, yeah. And they, they were not. Were they in any scenes together or just very briefly? Just very briefly. Yeah.
[00:09:46] Speaker C: Yeah, just at the end.
[00:09:47] Speaker B: It was kind of like they made two separate movies.
[00:09:49] Speaker C: Yeah, that Cary Grant movie, it was based on that.
[00:09:54] Speaker D: The one where they meet at the Empire State Building.
[00:09:57] Speaker C: Yeah, I can't remember the name of it, Deborah. Cary Grant, I believe.
[00:10:05] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't recall. I don't recall what movie you're referring.
[00:10:08] Speaker D: To, but they talked about it all during Sleepless in Seattle, actually.
[00:10:12] Speaker B: Oh, really? Yeah.
He was also in A League of Their Own. Remember, he was the manager of the, the women's baseball team.
[00:10:19] Speaker E: That was great.
[00:10:20] Speaker B: Yeah.
There's no crying in baseball, you know, Crying.
I thought that if you're a Red.
[00:10:28] Speaker C: Sox fan, you cry.
[00:10:29] Speaker B: Yeah, I know it.
But you don't cry if you're a player for the Red Sox. I didn't think. I thought that was. That was great. That line was funny. Plus the ones that we had mentioned. The.
You know, the other one was Philadelphia Forest Gump.
[00:10:42] Speaker D: You forgot about the classic splash bachelor party.
[00:10:45] Speaker E: Oh, bachelor.
[00:10:46] Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
[00:10:47] Speaker E: And splash. And splash.
[00:10:50] Speaker C: Yeah, he's been on a lot.
[00:10:51] Speaker B: Oh, that was in Splash also. Yeah, that was. Well, that was John Candy.
[00:10:55] Speaker C: Yeah, him and John Candy.
[00:10:56] Speaker B: And who was the woman who was the mermaid?
[00:10:59] Speaker E: She went out.
[00:11:00] Speaker C: Darryl Hannah.
[00:11:00] Speaker B: Yeah, Darryl Hannah.
He has done a ton of things, hasn't he?
[00:11:04] Speaker D: He's amazing.
[00:11:06] Speaker B: He is amazing. He must. You think he was 150,000 years old, having done all that. But of course, our job is to guess how old he actually is. What do you think, Ken?
[00:11:16] Speaker D: Well, I. Probably not quite 150,000, but let's see.
Probably 40.
[00:11:26] Speaker B: I don't know.
[00:11:27] Speaker D: I'll go with 43.
[00:11:28] Speaker B: 43.
Hope. What do you think? How old is Tom Hanks today?
[00:11:32] Speaker E: I'm gonna go with John. Tess's age or something like that. 44.
[00:11:36] Speaker B: 44, okay.
What. What do you think, Claire?
[00:11:40] Speaker C: I think he's 41.
[00:11:44] Speaker B: 41.
[00:11:45] Speaker C: Okay, Rick, I'm going with 39.
[00:11:48] Speaker B: You're going with 30?
Let me see. You know, if I can jot this down. You see, 39, you know.
[00:11:58] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:11:59] Speaker B: Okay. Larry, what do you think? I'm going with 38. 38. Okay. He's actually is 39. So you both came very close. In fact, everybody claim came, you know, within a reasonable area.
But Rick, who's now got two out.
[00:12:14] Speaker D: Of two, he's only 39.
[00:12:16] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:12:16] Speaker D: What year was Bosom Buddies in?
[00:12:18] Speaker B: That was the early 80s.
Early 80s, okay, so he was.
Well, he was in his low to mid-20s at that time.
[00:12:29] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:12:29] Speaker D: Boy, what a career.
[00:12:31] Speaker B: It is a heck of a career.
[00:12:32] Speaker D: You get a lifetime achievement award at 39.
[00:12:36] Speaker B: By the time he's 45, he'll probably be in the old actor's home.
[00:12:40] Speaker E: There you go.
[00:12:40] Speaker B: That's incredible. Jimmy Smits, also from LA Law and nypd.
And Birdland. What was that? Was that a movie?
[00:12:51] Speaker C: Yeah, Birdland.
[00:12:53] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:12:53] Speaker C: Clint Eastwood.
[00:12:54] Speaker B: Oh, that. Okay, that. Oh, no, it says TV's Birdland. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking of the movie on Charlie Parker, who's known as Bird.
No, I don't. Birdland was a TV show also, but he's been in films.
Me familia. I don't know that one at all. Cisco Kid.
But anyway, Jimmy Smits, probably best known mostly, I think probably for LA law and now for nypd.
And Claire, what do you think? You know who we're talking about?
[00:13:25] Speaker C: I think he's.
I say.
Oh, gosh, I think he's 51.
[00:13:34] Speaker B: 51, maybe.
I love when you. When. When you guess it. Everybody. Everybody goes through a life that, like, they're suffering from pain. Like people are sticking little wooden pegs underneath their. Their fingernails.
I think he's 37. 5 90. Oh, I don't know. But then again, maybe. I don't know.
[00:13:57] Speaker C: I don't know.
[00:13:58] Speaker B: And that hurts. It hurts.
[00:13:59] Speaker C: Stop.
[00:14:00] Speaker B: Stop that. Stop sewing my eyelids open. I want to sleep.
[00:14:05] Speaker C: The pain of it all.
Oh, he'll probably kill me.
[00:14:10] Speaker B: Who'll kill you? Jimmy Smits.
Are you. What are you into? S M? Is that you're kind of hoping for that, Are you? Okay.
I like to bring a little lust into the birthday game because there's very little else.
[00:14:24] Speaker C: I made him younger than me.
[00:14:27] Speaker B: How old are you, Claire?
[00:14:30] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:14:31] Speaker B: Larry, how old do you think Jimmy Smith is?
[00:14:33] Speaker C: 47.
[00:14:35] Speaker B: 47. Okay.
Okay. And a hope.
[00:14:40] Speaker E: 38.
[00:14:42] Speaker B: 38.
Okay. And Ken.
[00:14:46] Speaker D: Well, I'm gonna have to say it again and I know this is gonna set off the. The impression.
39.
[00:14:55] Speaker B: How about if I don't do it? That make you feel better? But you know, because I don't like to do it more. Oh, there I go. I say it and I can't stop.
[00:15:07] Speaker D: You know, I'm gonna guess that for everyone.
[00:15:10] Speaker B: Okay. You just love the way I do that. I wish there was some age that could set me off doing Mason Adams.
You know who Mason Adams is? A guy with.
If it's Smuckers, it's. With a name like Smuckers, it's gotta be good. I've been watching the reruns of the Lou Grant show. That's where the Los Angeles Tribune thing. Been watching that at all. It's on A E twice a day. Nine in the morning and five o' clock at night. Is that right, Rossi?
And.
And I'm sitting, especially the one in the.
Well, the one in the morning, I guess, or maybe the one in the evening when I'm just about getting up, ready to come in here. And so I'm sitting on the edge of the bed watching la, The. The joke, the little grand show.
And he comes on and I'm trying to perfect my imitation of him because I'm trying to get him on the program so we can. We can both talk the same way.
[00:16:08] Speaker D: Well, actually, you could just. You could just talk for him. You could just tell everybody he was on the program.
[00:16:13] Speaker B: That's right.
[00:16:14] Speaker D: President him the whole time.
[00:16:15] Speaker B: I could do that. Excuse me, Mason, you know, you started out in radio.
Did you. Did you not in radio soaps as Pepper Young. That's right.
I was in Pepper Young's family. I was Pepper Young.
You probably weren't even born, because you sound so young and good looking back in the 30s. I would suppose that. Right before there was even a Smuckers, as a matter of fact. Right. Is that right, Rossi? Right. Lou.
[00:16:45] Speaker C: I could do that very quickly.
[00:16:49] Speaker B: Okay. I could have him being interviewed by. By Arthur Godfrey, too. Would that be good? I could throw him out.
[00:16:55] Speaker D: Be a little less realistic since.
[00:16:57] Speaker B: Yeah, since he's dead. Yeah. But that's true.
[00:17:02] Speaker D: It could be a rerun, I guess.
[00:17:03] Speaker B: Yeah. Actually, Mason Adams is the only live person I've ever imitated. I just usually imitate just dead people, so they have no way of striking back.
[00:17:13] Speaker D: Well, when you. When you. When you try to get him on the show, you can make him feel special by telling him that. Usually I reserve my impressions for strictly dead people, but for you, I made an exception.
[00:17:23] Speaker B: Yeah, I did. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
But anyway, what do you think, Mason? I. Listen, I've tried this.
This product that you talk about with the Smucker stuff. I kind of like it, you know, but then again, when you're dead, your taste buds get some kind of. I don't know. They. Some kind of. They're not as sharp as they are when you're alive, if you know what. I'm not. I hope I'm not insulting you.
Not at all.
Not at all. What, is your neighbor. Is he insulting me? Roxy?
Anyway, Rick, how old is Jimmy Smith?
[00:18:03] Speaker C: I'll say 48.
[00:18:04] Speaker B: I forgot who we were talking about.
Okay, 48. Okay. Actually, Jimmy Smith is 37.
Hope said 38.
She wins that round.
[00:18:18] Speaker D: So close.
[00:18:19] Speaker B: So close and yet so far.
[00:18:22] Speaker E: Oh, yeah.
[00:18:23] Speaker D: This is actually, I think, the first dumb birthday game where I've known everybody so far, I think.
[00:18:29] Speaker B: No, there's some interesting. No, I think you're gonna know just about everybody, but it's not helping.
[00:18:34] Speaker D: No, it's actually. It's worse.
[00:18:36] Speaker B: Well, no, you. You were. You said 39 for. For Jimmy Smits. You were only a couple of years off. You were very close. Very close. Oh, yes.
How about the Brian Dennehy? The big fat guy?
[00:18:49] Speaker D: Oh, he was just on Saturday Night Live tonight.
[00:18:51] Speaker B: Oh, was he on a rerun?
[00:18:52] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah.
[00:18:53] Speaker B: He's. He's a. He's an excellent actor. I love watching him. The pictures I have here, although that he was in 10. Was he in that terrible movie 10?
[00:19:04] Speaker D: I never saw that.
[00:19:05] Speaker B: I never did either. That's I guess why I'm asking Presumed Innocent, FX2 and the Cocoon films, but he's been in a ton of other things. He's in about everything.
One of these big guys always had detective stuff, you know. No, not always, but very often that.
[00:19:24] Speaker D: I think he had a TV show just recently about. Didn't he just have a TV show on that like last season or the season before? It didn't last very long.
[00:19:33] Speaker B: About.
[00:19:33] Speaker D: It was a detective thing and I don't remember the name of it. And I don't think by the by, judging by the reaction I'm getting, I don't think anybody else has ever seen it either. So I'll just let it die.
[00:19:45] Speaker B: Okay.
What's that?
[00:19:47] Speaker C: It was probably just one episode.
[00:19:49] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't know. I know. I see. You see him a lot? Oh, yeah.
[00:19:54] Speaker C: A lot of movies.
[00:19:55] Speaker B: Okay, let's. So anyway, today is his birthday. He was born July 9th. Also. Brian Dennehy. And we'll start with you, Rick. What do you think?
[00:20:03] Speaker C: I'll say 57.
[00:20:05] Speaker B: 57. Okay.
And let's see. Hope, what do you say?
[00:20:10] Speaker E: 48.
[00:20:11] Speaker B: Hope says 48. And Larry.
[00:20:17] Speaker C: 55.
[00:20:18] Speaker B: 55.
What will you say instead then? Larry will. You want to say. You can still say 55 if you want to.
Okay. Claire says 56. And Ken, I was gonna say 55.
[00:20:34] Speaker D: Also, so I will.
I'll go with 54 just to make it a nice little spread there.
[00:20:41] Speaker B: That's nice. You're all. You're all close. Actually, 57 is correct.
That's Rick who's walking away with this whole thing. Wow. Yeah.
Rick said 57. Hit it right out of the butt.
[00:20:53] Speaker C: Rick has got three kind of luck in a lottery.
[00:20:57] Speaker B: You're not cheating. Do you have a list of the actual thing? You're just.
[00:21:00] Speaker C: I have a witness sitting right in of you. Front, front of me. She's watching me make sure I don't cheat. My wife.
[00:21:07] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:21:07] Speaker C: She woke up and she says. Who the heck are you calling?
[00:21:10] Speaker B: I know who you're talking to at 3:30 in the morning.
Okay. Today is also the birthday of Ed Ames of the Ames Brothers. The singer. He was. He's. He was born in Malden, so you might say he's kind of local. I guess that's about as local as you can get. He Played Mingo, a Cherokee Indian, on the Daniel Boone TV series. This always strikes me funny. Some guy from Malden, a Jewish guy from Malden playing. Playing a Cherokee Indian. I mean, sometimes it's believable.
It's like me playing the same thing. Anyway, he started out with the Ames Brothers and later on his own they did such tunes as R A G G G G G G. Rag Mop. Rag Mop. Yeah, yeah, Rag Mop. All kinds of big tunes like that.
His biggest hit was My Cup Runneth over from the musical I Do, I Do.
That was kind of a pretty song. When I lay up Waking up in the middle of the night I.
[00:22:13] Speaker D: What year was that?
[00:22:14] Speaker B: I think of. I don't know. It doesn't say that. Actually doesn't. There are no dates listening to this thing, you know. And anyway, he's thinking of all the lovely things that have happened to him and he. And he thinks as he's lying there My cup runneth over. Which is a nice thought. It's a pretty song.
Also, I think it was Ed Abes who was on that classic Johnny Carson show where.
Oh, no, do you remember the hatchet thing? They threw a hatchet and it landed at the very interesting part of his body.
So it looked like.
It looked like an organ. It looked like a male organ. I mean, that's where it landed, right between his thighs and it was sticking out like that. I don't know how I can say this delicately with and still express what I'm saying.
[00:23:06] Speaker D: I think it's too late for that.
[00:23:07] Speaker B: Yeah, I think. But they used to run that each year they would do. Or every now and then they would run an anniversary show of Johnny Carson. They always show that scene and the audience went crazy or just by the.
I'm going crazy now.
Okay. Anyway, that's Ed Ames.
Let's see, We'll. We'll start with Claire. What do you think?
[00:23:32] Speaker C: Okay, 74.
[00:23:34] Speaker B: 74. Okay.
[00:23:36] Speaker C: And he's over than me.
[00:23:40] Speaker B: That could be.
[00:23:41] Speaker C: We'll.
[00:23:41] Speaker B: We'll find out in a moment.
Larry, what do you say?
[00:23:45] Speaker C: I think Clay is pretty close up. If I'm Come down a little bit, I'm going to say about 68.
[00:23:51] Speaker B: Okay, 68. And Ken, what do you say?
[00:23:54] Speaker D: I'll say 72.
[00:23:57] Speaker B: And Hope?
[00:23:59] Speaker E: 67.
[00:24:00] Speaker B: 67. Rick, what do you think?
[00:24:03] Speaker C: I'll say 69.
[00:24:04] Speaker B: 69. Okay. Ed Ames actually is 66.
Yeah. Now Larry said 68 and.
No, but Hope said 67.
In fact, she just. You pardon the expression, nosed you out.
Which is kind of an exciting thing. And that ought to be your prize right there.
Anyway, 67. So hope wins that. Hope has got two correct answers, Rick has got three, and nobody else has any correct answers.
So this is a tough battle between Rick and hope.
Kelly McGillis. Remember Kelly McGillis?
She was in the Accused Top Gun. And she was in Witness with.
What's his name? Indiana Jones.
[00:24:50] Speaker C: Harrison Ford.
[00:24:51] Speaker B: Harrison Ford. Yeah, that's right.
Okay. Kelly McGillis. That's a great name. I love that.
Kelly McGillis.
[00:25:00] Speaker D: Wonder if it's a real name.
[00:25:02] Speaker C: My daughter's first name.
[00:25:03] Speaker B: Kelly, is it? Yeah. No, that. That apparently is her real name. Kelly McGillis.
Oh, I am Kelly McGillis. And watch me do my little, little dance. I'm Kelly Any. Anyway, let's see. Let's start with you, ken.
Oldest. Kelly McGillis. McGillis.
[00:25:24] Speaker D: Let's see.
[00:25:24] Speaker B: It's.
[00:25:25] Speaker D: It's interesting that there's a. That there is a song named after like that.
Let's see here.
[00:25:33] Speaker B: Well, I think she's worth it.
[00:25:35] Speaker D: I'd say probably 30.
[00:25:39] Speaker B: 30, okay.
[00:25:41] Speaker E: And Hope, she's a very mature. 30.
[00:25:45] Speaker B: I think she's older than that.
[00:25:46] Speaker D: After I said it, I wanted to take it back.
[00:25:48] Speaker C: No.
[00:25:49] Speaker B: Well, you can, because nobody else has guessed yet. Will you.
I don't suggest that you take it back. I'm not suggesting that you're off.
[00:25:56] Speaker D: Well, you might have fit fair and square. No, taking it back.
[00:25:59] Speaker B: You know. You know, you're a gentleman. You're a class act, you know that?
What are you doing in broadcasting?
You'll never become a manager, that's for sure.
Hope, what do you think?
[00:26:11] Speaker E: 35.
[00:26:12] Speaker B: 35, okay. And Claire?
[00:26:18] Speaker C: 33.
[00:26:20] Speaker B: 33, okay. Rick?
[00:26:23] Speaker C: I'll say 42.
[00:26:24] Speaker B: 42. And what would you say, Larry?
[00:26:26] Speaker C: I'll say 36.
[00:26:28] Speaker B: 36, okay. She's actually 38, so I believe you, Larry, come the closest. Let's see. You said 36.
[00:26:36] Speaker C: Great.
[00:26:37] Speaker B: Okay. And nobody said 40.
Yeah. No, you're. That's you. That's. Hey, it's Larry, ladies and gentlemen. Hey, here's an interesting. Here's an interesting one. I don't know whether you know this or not.
Maybe you do, and maybe you know his age, but Today's the birthday. That is July 9th of O.J. simpson.
[00:26:58] Speaker D: I've never heard of him. He's one of the ones I haven't heard of.
[00:27:00] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. Yeah. I don't know his. I don't know. I don't know that name at all. But I'll take a wild guess.
[00:27:07] Speaker E: No, you'll take A.
[00:27:10] Speaker D: A wild stab.
[00:27:13] Speaker C: Oh, that's really bad.
[00:27:15] Speaker B: Well, I bloody well hope you're right on that one. This is kind of interesting, the way he's described in the book. He says, football hall of famer, accused murderer.
You don't find many descriptions of people like that.
Born Oriental, James Simpson in San Francisco, California.
And there's a lovely little sketch of him accused of killing his ex wife, Nicole and her friend Ronald Goldman in 1994. I'm not poking fun at the murders of these people because that's tragic, but it's just kind of interesting the way they have included it and the kind of description which you don't find with.
[00:27:54] Speaker D: Many other people, especially since the case isn't settled yet. Usually if it was a book like that, like a reference book, do you think that, I don't know, you think that they would somehow figure out another way to word that or.
[00:28:09] Speaker B: Yeah, there's no way. Yeah, the way they're describing it is, you know, is accurate. He's a former football star turned sportscaster, TV commercial pitch man and actor. He won the Heisman Trophy in 1968 and set an NFL rushing record.
And then where was he rushing to at the time? Anyway, there was a cheap stab that. Oh, I said it again.
Okay, O.J. simpson.
Let's see. We'll start with.
With you hope. How old do you think O.J. simpson is?
[00:28:43] Speaker E: 45.
[00:28:44] Speaker B: 45.
What did we, what did we used to do before there was this O.J. simpson trial? I don't remember. Did we talk to each other or anything?
[00:28:55] Speaker D: Lorena Bobbitt, I think before that, it.
[00:28:57] Speaker C: Was the Stewart case.
[00:28:59] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:28:59] Speaker D: Actually, in between there, there was the, the.
[00:29:03] Speaker B: Oh, the.
[00:29:04] Speaker D: Is it the Amy Stewart that we.
Amy Fisher. That's what it is.
Charles Stewart, Amy Fisher. Yeah.
We always have some kind of thing.
[00:29:12] Speaker B: To keep us busy, some kind of fun talk.
It's kind of. You wonder what's going to be after O.J. simpson.
[00:29:19] Speaker E: What are we gonna do?
[00:29:20] Speaker D: Or all the other smaller things that.
[00:29:21] Speaker B: We could be missing out on are the Menendez brothers. We talked about them for a few minutes.
Yeah. Oh, life is just full of just so darn much excitement.
Okay, what do you think, rick?
[00:29:34] Speaker C: I'll say 46. North.
[00:29:36] Speaker B: 46.
Okay. And Larry, I'm gonna say 47.
You sound like you're in pain. Clear. Is that okay? What would you say?
[00:29:47] Speaker C: I'm going with 47.
[00:29:49] Speaker B: 47. Okay.
And Ken?
[00:29:54] Speaker D: I'll go. You know, it's funny, they didn't even mention the Naked Gun movies that he was In.
[00:29:58] Speaker B: Oh, that's right too. And those were funny movies.
[00:30:00] Speaker D: Yeah, that was a pretty big thing to be in.
[00:30:02] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:30:03] Speaker D: Let's see.
[00:30:05] Speaker B: They don't mention any movies in here at all.
They don't mention the automobile rental hertz agent hurts thing.
[00:30:14] Speaker D: Or all that practice running through airports.
[00:30:16] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right.
[00:30:19] Speaker C: His first movie was Towering Inferno.
[00:30:21] Speaker B: Was he in that?
[00:30:22] Speaker C: Yeah, I played the security guard.
[00:30:24] Speaker B: Really?
[00:30:25] Speaker C: The same thing as he saves the cat. Oh.
[00:30:30] Speaker B: You know, there's something kind of ironic about that.
I don't know exactly what.
[00:30:36] Speaker C: Anyway, all I remember is he saves the cat and he leaves Paul Newman to save about three or four people.
You see him and then he takes the cat and away he goes.
[00:30:47] Speaker B: You don't think that was kind of an omen? Should we read something into that? Maybe known what was coming as a result.
Oh, I'm sorry, what was allegedly coming? Allegedly. Okay, what do you think, Ken?
[00:31:00] Speaker D: Well, I will say 43 and rest my case.
[00:31:09] Speaker B: Ladies and gentlemen.
[00:31:11] Speaker E: That's so objectionable.
[00:31:13] Speaker B: We must get his age beyond a reasonable doubt.
Actually, he's 48 years old today.
48. So that, let's see, the 47s would have it. That'd be Claire Y. And Larry, finally. Okay, Larry, you have one and Larry has two.
So does Hope and. But Rick is still leading with three.
And we have the final one.
Well, maybe not the final. Well, yeah, this is Fred Savage.
He played Kevin Arnold on TV's Emmy Award winning series the Wonder Years.
His films include Princess Bride and Little Monsters.
Do you all know who Fred Savage is?
[00:32:04] Speaker C: Yeah, I remember that TV show.
[00:32:05] Speaker B: Yeah.
Okay, let's see. We'll start with you, Hope, Fred Savage. How old do you think he is?
[00:32:14] Speaker E: 20.
[00:32:15] Speaker B: 20. Okay.
And Rick.
[00:32:18] Speaker C: Yeah, I'll say 22.
[00:32:20] Speaker B: 20 also. And Larry, I'm gonna go with 22. 22 and declare.
[00:32:30] Speaker C: Tray signs.
[00:32:32] Speaker B: What do you think, ken?
[00:32:33] Speaker D: I'll say 21.
[00:32:35] Speaker B: 21. This is exciting. Now just now we. We had all the guesses in and now we. Now we check the actual age of Fred Savage, which is. He's 19. 19. I think that means Rick and Hope again. Yeah, Rick and Hope both said 20.
[00:32:55] Speaker D: They just can't get a break here.
[00:32:57] Speaker B: I know that kid. You come very close.
[00:33:00] Speaker D: Sad game for me.
[00:33:02] Speaker C: It's unusual to know, you know, we've pretty much known everybody. It's on the list.
[00:33:06] Speaker E: So.
[00:33:07] Speaker B: Yes, now today, Today was. We had a plethora. I love words.
We have well known people. Plethora of well known people.
So it looks like Rick has just. Has done very well, with. I can't say he's walked away with it. He's got four, which is very good. But the hope has three, which is also very, very good.
[00:33:28] Speaker E: I'm chasing you, Rick.
[00:33:29] Speaker D: Oh, you might even say we had a plethora of popular personalities.
[00:33:34] Speaker B: Yes. As a matter of fact there's one other one too we hadn't got. In fact a couple others that you probably would know were also born on July 9th. I'll mention their names, although we can bring an end to the game. But you can. You can just tell me what you think one is. Lee Hazelwood had a hit with Nancy Sinatra in 1967 called Jackson.
He co wrote most of Dwayne Eddy's material. You all know late Lee Hazelwood. Kind of a country and western thing.
[00:34:06] Speaker D: That sort of ruins the. The.
[00:34:07] Speaker E: The plethora.
[00:34:08] Speaker D: Well, plethora of popular personalities.
[00:34:10] Speaker B: Yeah, but no, we were through that. See, this is just extra so that's okay. Okay. Yeah. That's why I didn't include him with the plethora of well known personalities. I didn't know that he was well known enough. But Anyway, he is 66 years old today. Debbie Sledge. She and her sisters.
The sister Sledge. The biggest record we are family in 1979.
[00:34:35] Speaker D: Sure.
[00:34:35] Speaker B: Which is the theme song. It's been the theme song I guess of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Did you know that? I didn't know that.
[00:34:42] Speaker D: I didn't realize that baseball teams had theme songs.
[00:34:45] Speaker B: I didn't know that either. I remember that.
[00:34:47] Speaker C: That. That's when Stago used to be was playing down in Pittsburgh.
[00:34:51] Speaker B: Yeah. Do you know how it goes? The we.
[00:34:55] Speaker D: I got all my sisters with me.
[00:34:57] Speaker C: Very good, Ken. Yeah.
Anyway, I thought DZ was music free.
[00:35:04] Speaker B: I know that's right.
[00:35:04] Speaker E: They're gonna come. They're gonna come arrest Ken now.
[00:35:07] Speaker D: I guess I'll keep my night job.
[00:35:09] Speaker B: Okay. Dead Debbie Sledge. Anyway, is 41. I mentioned this with people having birthdays every. When you. When it's your own birthday you wonder, hey, who else is having a birthday? I wonder who else is. That's why I mentioned these other people also.
James Hampton. Do you know that person? An actor?
[00:35:29] Speaker C: Oh yeah.
[00:35:30] Speaker B: He was on the Doorste show Love him and he was in Love American Style. And on TV he was in Evening Shade.
Or still is I guess.
[00:35:38] Speaker C: Was he on F Troop?
[00:35:39] Speaker B: Yes, he was. Yes.
[00:35:41] Speaker C: Yeah. He's in Burt Reynolds Longest Yard movie too. I just watched that tonight.
[00:35:45] Speaker B: Oh yeah. That's 100th time. You know the football team inside the prison?
[00:35:49] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:35:51] Speaker B: James Hampton, who is 59 years old today.
And let's see.
Well, that's pretty good. And Mitch Mitchell, who.
He's a drummer. He was with Jimi Hendrix, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and All along the Watchtower, because he was on that album.
I don't know that one at all. But anyway, Bob Dylan song. Is that right?
Okay. He's 49 years old today.
Also, Jim Kerr, or Kerr from Scotland, lead singer for the group Simple Minds. Do any of you know that group?
Do you know that one? Simple Minds?
[00:36:30] Speaker D: Yeah, sure.
[00:36:30] Speaker B: They.
[00:36:30] Speaker C: They had.
[00:36:31] Speaker D: They had that hit that was in that Anthony Michael hall movie, Breakfast Club. That's what it was.
[00:36:36] Speaker B: That's right. They went. That's right, the Breakfast Club. The hit was don't you forget about me.
And today is also the birthday of one dead person.
Hold on a minute. I told you I'm not dead, Rossi.
I'm the only one he could imitate who's not dead.
[00:36:57] Speaker D: Be ashamed when he dies.
[00:37:01] Speaker B: On the poor soul.
Okay? Right, Lou. I'm never gonna die. Right, Lou.
Hold the back page for that one, Lou.
Anyways, the inventor, Elias Howe, invented the.
The sewing machine.
Did you know he was born in Spencer, Massachusetts? Right. Right here in this state.
He couldn't earn enough to support his family, and his wife took in sewing to make extra money. While watching her, Elias got the idea for a sewing machine.
I remember that moment. He would say, I don't know why you're using the needle and thread.
I saw Rossi sewing with his machine. I think we could do something that way.
So in 1845, Elias Howe demonstrated his invention and easily beat five women who were sewing by hand.
And they said, boy, what a smart ass you are, big fella.
[00:38:02] Speaker D: I'm surprised they had a speed contest for sewing.
[00:38:05] Speaker B: He needs some guy to come along. We've been sewing this way for generations. This guy's coming along with a little thing with needles and junk on it, and he beats us. Who is he?
[00:38:15] Speaker E: They were actually really smart. I mean, they were smart. They allowed him the win because they fig.
[00:38:20] Speaker B: Yeah, maybe it'll be easier for us later on.
But sales were slow until the Civil War, when thousands of uniforms had to be made quickly. It sounds like a Woody Allen plot. Yes, we have.
We have about 130,000 men under. Under in our army now. And we're going to need 180,000, maybe a few more than that, too, in case they soil some uniforms. Can you. Is there any way we can sew them together very quickly?
[00:38:52] Speaker C: Choice of color, gray or blue?
[00:38:54] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right.
It's kind of like the Woody Allen movie Bananas.
[00:38:58] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:38:59] Speaker B: Where he comes down from the mountains and he's going in to order some stuff, bring back to take out food, you know, I'd like 20,000 coffees, 19,000 black and 1,000 with some sugar and cream and 240,000 hamburgers.
Anyway, maybe it isn't like that. It's probably not like that at all.
No, it's not like that at all. Anyway, if Elias how were alive today, he'd be about.
I don't know, he'd be like 170 years old or more.
[00:39:33] Speaker D: He probably wouldn't be looking so good.
[00:39:36] Speaker B: He didn't look too good even then. You know the truth that's right there. Russia. I was around me, you know, he didn't look good then, even. And he was in his prime.
[00:39:45] Speaker D: Did Mason Adams ever do a commercial for New Burned the Little Yellow Pill?
[00:39:50] Speaker B: Probably. He did? Oh, yeah, yeah. Mason Adams did commercials for everything.
He said he's on about every commercial. And the ones he's not on, you can tell they couldn't get him because they get a guy who sounds like him, sort of talks a little like him, but he. For a while he was doing. He was doing everything.
That's true, but, you know, I'm available and I really can sell. You know, just give me the product and the sale. Zoom.
Right, Rossy, I think I'm getting silly.
Anyway, I want to thank you and. And the winner, of course, Rick.
[00:40:29] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:40:30] Speaker B: No, you're not. You. Yeah, you were the winner. That's right. You had four corrections.
[00:40:34] Speaker C: A lot of people say I'm a winner.
[00:40:35] Speaker B: You are a winner, Rick.
Yeah. So hang in there and you'll talk to Hope.
[00:40:41] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:40:41] Speaker B: And she'll probably flirt with you on the phone, and it'll be disgusting, but she'll take your name and address.
[00:40:47] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:40:48] Speaker B: In fact. In fact, she's already left her studio moments just moments ago to talk with you on the phone. And. And we'll. We'll send something really junky out there. Something really tasteless and worth worthless.
[00:40:59] Speaker C: Well, I'll be. I'll be waiting for it.
[00:41:02] Speaker B: Okay.
Thank you, Rick.
[00:41:04] Speaker C: Yeah. Take care now.
[00:41:05] Speaker B: Oh, you too. And Larry, you're okay. Thanks a lot for being part of all of this.
[00:41:10] Speaker C: It's a lot of fun, Doctor.
[00:41:11] Speaker B: It was fun having you. I appreciate that.
[00:41:13] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:41:15] Speaker B: And that goes for you too, Ken.
[00:41:17] Speaker D: I can't wait till next Saturday night.
[00:41:19] Speaker B: That's right. We can do it all again. We'll do it again. That's true. I'm. I'm excited about that also.
Okay. Okay, take care.
[00:41:26] Speaker C: Bye. Bye.
[00:41:26] Speaker B: Bye. Bye. Ken and Claire.
[00:41:28] Speaker C: Oh, it's been a pleasure. I was hoping I could win one of those paper keychains.
[00:41:33] Speaker B: Oh, that's. That's true.
[00:41:34] Speaker C: Actually, I'm a Frenchman. I figured a frog, you know, I'd love one of those.
[00:41:39] Speaker B: That's true. Actually, I forgot. And the, and the gifts that we sent away. The worthless gifts. There is the keychain, which is kind of nice.
[00:41:46] Speaker C: Oh, wow.
[00:41:48] Speaker B: Yeah. I have just a few more of those left. So we'll give those up.
[00:41:51] Speaker C: I don't have anything to have one of those.
[00:41:53] Speaker B: Oh, well, we're kind of hoping that next year during the peeper season again, which as you know is the end of March, beginning of April, that we. We may be able to get a whole batch more than, than, than this year and all that kind of stuff. So we'll. We'll do it again if you can hold in through another bad winter.
[00:42:11] Speaker C: Right.
[00:42:11] Speaker B: Okay. Hey, thanks for calling, Claire. I appreciate placing a part of that.
[00:42:15] Speaker C: Thank you.
[00:42:16] Speaker B: You're welcome. Bye bye now.
