Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: All right, so forgive me here if I don't pronounce this correctly, but I'll try.
Hey, Aug. Oozentag to our first listener in Norway. Or should I say Norm way.
Moving on. Here's an excellent, maybe even one of the best examples of what I wish most of these tapes have on them here in the vault of silliness.
Lots of commercials and promos. Norm reading AccuWeathers and stories. All of the stuff that fills out a show and adds more fun. Especially when it came to the commercials. So what am I talking about? It's a dumb birthday game from August 15, 1991 that I have titled. Lots of puns from 91.
Our players, Dan and Waltham. Mike from Marshfield, but sounds like he's calling from Irene in Connecticut's phone. Roberta Florence. Mike Epstein, producing and playing on the phone from the space shuttle. I'm on the phone and no longer a full time employee. And Jack Hart. The birthdays. Julia Child, Wendy Hiller, Rose Marie, Mike Connors, Linda Ellerby, Princess Anne and Jean Upshaw. Birthdays we didn't use Jim Dale and Janet Rule.
[00:01:18] Speaker B: Post game.
[00:01:19] Speaker A: That's right, folks, post game.
The commercials. Steve Allen for Resolve Warner Home Video and Blockbuster Goodfellas on video cassette.
A WBZ contest that had to do with the time. And a chime. I have no idea what that was all about.
Norm reads a spot for LoJack Campbell's New England Clam Chowder. A Marshfield Fair promo. Ask a nurse. And Central Chrysler, Plymouth, Dodge. Oh my gosh, the new car prices. Check those out.
And during our close, we'll hear from National Dynamics language program and Choice magazine. Listening, as I said before. We'll also hear norm Reed. An AccuWeather forecast from Bob Larner in Check out the Temps. Sound familiar? He also reads a story about the musical version of the Thin man called Nick and Nora.
Episode 249. Lots of puns from 91.
Eye rolls its way to your ears in three, two and one.
[00:02:27] Speaker B: Okay, ladies and gentlemen, it is time now for the dumb birthday game.
The dumb birthday game in which if you do not guess the correct answers and the correct ages of people born on this date, August 15th, you die.
Thank you. Seem that like it was that kind of music. Okay, let's see who's gonna play the dumb birthday game with us. The number of interesting people born on August 15th. And if you were born on August 15th, God love you. I hope it's a fantastic day.
There's Dan and Waltham. Hi, Dan.
[00:03:11] Speaker C: Good morning. Norm, how you doing? Very well, thank you. How are you today?
[00:03:13] Speaker B: Good day. Nice to have you with us.
[00:03:15] Speaker C: Thank you.
[00:03:15] Speaker B: And we have Mike, one of our old stalwarts from Marshfield.
[00:03:19] Speaker C: Hi, Norm, how are you?
[00:03:20] Speaker B: Pretty good. Mike, I mentioned I was going to be down at the Marshfield Fair this Saturday night. I'm seeing something by the 4H club.
[00:03:28] Speaker C: I've got it marked down, as a matter of fact. They're going to have a special show on that. It's.
What do they call it when people imitate other people? Impersonators. It's Impersonators Night. They're going to have a guy, the Elvis Presley impersonator and the.
Who was that singer that sung Pretty Lady? He died about a year, two years ago.
[00:03:50] Speaker B: Are they really going to have this?
[00:03:52] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, that's the big show on. So we're going to catch that. So there's no way you can get out of seeing me between seven and nine?
[00:04:00] Speaker B: Oh, I think that'd be great. Yeah. I just wonder if anybody's going to see us where all this other stuff that's going on while we look at animals and things.
[00:04:08] Speaker C: It should be great.
[00:04:08] Speaker B: Okay. I love the Marshville Fair. Anyway, I've only been down there. I've been down a couple of times, but I like it a lot and. Hey, it's Roberta. It's our friend Roberta's back with us. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages.
[00:04:22] Speaker D: All ages.
[00:04:23] Speaker B: All ages.
[00:04:23] Speaker D: Hey, listen, if I was you, I'd watch out for Jack Hat. He's going to have your job in about a week.
[00:04:28] Speaker B: Well, he's welcome to it. I tell you the truth, I'm getting sick of it.
[00:04:31] Speaker D: You don't blame you.
[00:04:32] Speaker B: I really am. There's sometimes I think to myself, haven't you been in this business long enough? Why don't you just wrap it up, for God's sake, Let punk kids like Jack move in on you.
[00:04:43] Speaker D: Isn't he good with the one liners? And he's funny and all that stuff though. He's got a great voice. What more do you need?
[00:04:48] Speaker B: I don't think he's anywhere near as good as all that.
[00:04:51] Speaker D: Oh, I do okay.
[00:04:54] Speaker B: Florence. Hi. You're a wbz.
[00:04:56] Speaker D: I'm fine. And Norman, please, you're my satellite at night.
[00:05:02] Speaker B: What a nice.
Do not leave.
[00:05:06] Speaker C: Right.
[00:05:06] Speaker B: Okay, okay. Sometimes I think I have stayed too long at the fair, as you can see.
[00:05:12] Speaker D: No, I particularly enjoy when you play the song and you do your dip.
[00:05:17] Speaker B: Oh, the dip.
[00:05:19] Speaker D: Fascinating.
[00:05:20] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. No, I love to dip. Absolutely I love to dip with you, Florence. I just somehow think we'd make a swell couple. And we would dip. Just sit down divinely.
[00:05:30] Speaker C: Definitely.
[00:05:30] Speaker D: Okay.
[00:05:31] Speaker B: And we have. We have Mike with us, of course. Mike, our producer. Mike Epstein. Hello, Mike.
[00:05:37] Speaker C: Good morning.
[00:05:38] Speaker B: Good morning. And we have Tony, our producer, too.
[00:05:41] Speaker C: Who'S another life was employed full time.
[00:05:46] Speaker B: That's right.
[00:05:47] Speaker C: And.
[00:05:48] Speaker B: And. And sort of liked it to a certain point.
[00:05:51] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:05:51] Speaker B: In another life, I was Lassie. Really, now, I don't know why I said that. That makes no sense. And we have with us also Jack Hart, who in another life was.
[00:06:03] Speaker C: What.
[00:06:03] Speaker B: What were you in another life, Jack?
Yes, he was my mother. The car.
[00:06:08] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:06:09] Speaker E: That was a toll booth.
[00:06:12] Speaker B: And a wonderful toll booth that they're. They're still talking about. That swell toll booth that Jack was. Yeah.
[00:06:18] Speaker E: But my arm got tired.
[00:06:20] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:06:20] Speaker C: Although you must have been a path gate. Yes, I suspect. Exact change.
[00:06:27] Speaker B: I suppose you all think you're terribly, hilariously funny.
[00:06:31] Speaker C: Just terrible.
[00:06:32] Speaker B: Terrible.
[00:06:33] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:06:33] Speaker B: Anyway, today is August 15th. Boy, right smack in the middle of the month. Sort of. Yeah, I guess the 15th or 16th. I don't like the way this summer's going by.
Hold on a minute while I check the kids in the Tea Cat Teen. Who else doesn't like the way the summer's gone by so quickly?
Now they're just sitting there on their hands. What a bunch of deadheads.
Okay. Julia Child was born Aug. 15.
Julia Childs and Dan from Waltham. I'll bet you wants to make the first guess as to how old Julia Child is on this very day.
[00:07:10] Speaker C: Oh, my God.
I'm gonna be guessing 82.
[00:07:14] Speaker B: 82.
Okay.
[00:07:18] Speaker C: A lot of chickens in the pot since then.
[00:07:20] Speaker B: That's right. She's made a lot of French. French cooking stuff. A lot of French cooking stuff flowing over the dam or something.
Or if you don't like the dam, then lower the river. I forget how that goes. Anyway, Mike. And my dear friend Mike in Marshfield, how old would you say Julia Childs is on this very day?
[00:07:41] Speaker C: I think we're right in the ball game.
78.
[00:07:49] Speaker B: 78. Okay.
And the lovely, exciting, exotic Roberta, who has so much to live for.
[00:07:57] Speaker D: Don't be cruel.
[00:08:00] Speaker B: I'm trying to be.
Perhaps I wasn't. I wasn't being cruel. I meant to be nice.
[00:08:06] Speaker D: Oh, okay.
[00:08:07] Speaker B: I think you do have a lot.
[00:08:08] Speaker D: By the way, her name isn't Child. It's Child.
[00:08:11] Speaker B: Oh, that's right. It is. No s. No s on then. You're absolutely right.
[00:08:15] Speaker D: Thank you. Thank you.
[00:08:16] Speaker B: That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. It wouldn't be child. You're right.
Anyway, how old is Julia Child?
[00:08:24] Speaker C: 73.
[00:08:26] Speaker B: 70. And she has a lot to live for, too, because there's still some souffles that have been unprepared, and I hope she gets to them with a lot of nice French wine.
Oh.
Anyway, Florence down in North Carolina, what do you think? How old is Julia Child?
[00:08:45] Speaker D: I think she's 76.
[00:08:46] Speaker B: Okay. You get to see her down there, don't you? Because she's a product of this area.
[00:08:50] Speaker D: Yeah, she's on the public tv.
[00:08:53] Speaker B: That's right. She's all over the place.
Product, product, product of this area. That's the way we talk in broadcasting.
[00:09:00] Speaker D: That's a sad way to put it, isn't it?
[00:09:02] Speaker B: It is kind of a sad way, but we're about sad bunch, otherwise we'd be up doing legit.
Mike, what do you think?
How old is Julia Child in the singular today?
[00:09:17] Speaker C: I think the lovely Julia Child is 75 years old.
[00:09:23] Speaker B: 75 years old. Okay, we'll ask the lovely Tony what he thinks.
[00:09:28] Speaker C: I'm trying to cook up an answer now.
[00:09:29] Speaker B: Cook up an answer now.
Cook up an answer now.
[00:09:34] Speaker D: One up on Jack.
[00:09:36] Speaker C: Oh, do you think she's aged like the fine wine she drinks at the end of her show?
[00:09:40] Speaker B: She has. She has aged like fine wine. That is correct.
[00:09:44] Speaker C: And to make it rhyme, she's 79.
[00:09:48] Speaker B: To make it rhyme, she's 79.
That is just so darn nice. When she dines, when she dies.
[00:09:57] Speaker C: Pretty fine.
[00:09:58] Speaker B: I don't know.
Oh, shut up, Jack. What do you think?
[00:10:04] Speaker C: Oh, for that.
[00:10:06] Speaker E: For that rhyme, I'm just gonna pine.
[00:10:12] Speaker B: Do you know that in a previous life, you were.
[00:10:15] Speaker C: You were a spool of twine?
[00:10:17] Speaker B: In a previous life, Julia Child was an egg souffle. No, I think I said that, didn't I?
[00:10:25] Speaker C: Anyway, she was a spatula.
[00:10:28] Speaker B: She might have been a spatula. I never thought of that. Yeah, that's true.
[00:10:31] Speaker C: We're scraping the bottom now. Yeah, we're gonna flip over that.
[00:10:35] Speaker B: Ooh, you're getting me boiling mad.
I'm fried, man. Anyway, we saying stupid things or not? What do you think, Jack? How old is the very lovely Julia Childs?
[00:10:50] Speaker E: A woman who has not kept all her eggs in one bag.
[00:10:55] Speaker C: Oh, God, we're. God, we're the yolks on you. I guess.
[00:11:03] Speaker B: I hope they invite us to a party so we can do all this. You know, guys, it's really stupid. Yeah, it really is stupid.
[00:11:11] Speaker C: It's Like a bad recipe.
[00:11:14] Speaker E: She's going to be 81.
[00:11:16] Speaker B: I'm sorry. I didn't. I forgot the question other night. Okay, 81 years old. Here's. We'll check now the birth records compiled by our birth record staff here at wbz and find out Child actually is Julia Child.
Julia child rather is 79 years old. Tony said 79, so he's right on the button.
[00:11:43] Speaker C: Thank you.
[00:11:45] Speaker B: Ah, pleasure.
Now, let's see if. Let's see.
Well done. Oh, geez.
[00:11:54] Speaker C: That was a very tender comment.
[00:11:57] Speaker D: I know, Tony, Chief. I know it.
[00:11:58] Speaker B: Do you understand, Roberta, that they're talking over you because they have hilarious comments to make?
Okay, okay. Wendy Hiller. Do you know the name Wendy Hill? Wendy Hiller is a British actress.
The first time I ever saw her.
[00:12:14] Speaker C: Here's a hint.
[00:12:15] Speaker B: Yeah. First time I ever saw her, I believe, was someplace. It was right near Fenway Park. I was there with another date.
No, the first time I saw her, she was in Pygmalion, the original movie with Leslie Howard.
[00:12:27] Speaker C: Before the advent of sound.
[00:12:29] Speaker B: Before. Before. No, the sound was around.
Sound was around. My Fair lady came along afterwards, which was based upon George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion.
Wendy Hiller was the original star of that.
[00:12:44] Speaker C: Are you saying Pygmalion.
[00:12:46] Speaker B: Pygmalion.
[00:12:47] Speaker C: Is that a pig that changes its colors so it can match the environment? No, I'm just curious. I'm sorry.
[00:12:53] Speaker B: No, nothing. Like, you're not even close.
And you're not even telling good jokes, which is the worst of all. Anyway, Wendy Hiller was in that movie.
It's kind of interesting to watch the movie and of course, to read the George Bernard Shaw play. Because when they made My Fair lady, they changed hardly anything. They just said it to music. But the lyrics are almost exactly like the original play of sounding. Sounding what?
[00:13:19] Speaker C: Astounding.
[00:13:21] Speaker B: Astounding.
[00:13:21] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:13:23] Speaker B: Yes. Anyway, Jack, how old is Wendy Hiller?
[00:13:26] Speaker E: Oh, I see. After a story like that, I'm a lot older.
[00:13:33] Speaker B: I suppose you think that's funny.
[00:13:34] Speaker C: Poor Norm.
[00:13:37] Speaker B: She's gonna be 63. 63, says Jack.
And what does Tony say?
[00:13:48] Speaker C: 65.
[00:13:49] Speaker B: 65.
Mike, what do you think?
[00:13:53] Speaker C: 72.
[00:13:54] Speaker B: 72.
Florence?
[00:13:57] Speaker D: I think she's 70.
[00:13:59] Speaker B: 70.
Have any of you seen her?
[00:14:03] Speaker D: She's on public TV, too.
[00:14:07] Speaker B: Yes, that's right. She still. She's still performing.
[00:14:09] Speaker C: Can I change my age, though?
[00:14:10] Speaker B: No, Roberta, what do you think?
[00:14:13] Speaker D: Now I'm going between the two guys and say, this is my favorite spot.
[00:14:18] Speaker B: I'd use some kind of protective shield if that's what you're planning to do?
[00:14:22] Speaker C: It's a safe radio.
[00:14:25] Speaker B: What is. What are you saying? How old?
[00:14:28] Speaker D: I should say 69, but I won't.
[00:14:31] Speaker B: 74. 64. 64. Okay. And Mike down in Marshfield, I hope, is going to bring a little bit of intelligence and sensibility to this discussion.
And he says 71. 71.
What do you think, Dan?
[00:14:49] Speaker C: My thoughts are. Norm.
[00:14:51] Speaker B: Yes, I'm sorry.
[00:14:53] Speaker C: 68.
[00:14:54] Speaker B: 68. Okay, now let us see how old Wendy Hiller actually is. And she was just adorable and Pygmalion, but a lot younger than she is right now.
[00:15:05] Speaker C: Was it in color?
[00:15:07] Speaker B: No, it was not. It was in black and white. As a matter of fact, it was.
[00:15:10] Speaker E: Before they had sound on the stage.
[00:15:13] Speaker B: It was before they had sound on the stage.
[00:15:16] Speaker C: Soundstage. Is that what you. No, no, no, no, no, no.
[00:15:18] Speaker E: When plays were still silent.
[00:15:22] Speaker B: Boy, I wish you were, too, Wendy Hiller.
I sound like Wolfie now. Wendy hiller, Normie, is 79.
She all guessed under. Under her age. Mike was the closest. He said 72, which was still seven years off. So it's nothing to be proud of, Mike.
Nothing to be proud of at all.
[00:15:51] Speaker C: I'll take it any way we can.
[00:15:52] Speaker B: Okay? But you win that round in any case. Okay. Rosemarie, remember Rosemary from the Dick Van Dyke Show?
[00:16:00] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, yeah.
[00:16:01] Speaker B: She. The Vic Van Dyke Show. She was one of the first people.
And this is really. We're gonna hear the yawns now as I reminisce another story. I love to tell stories about my early days in showbiz, even though most people get total. Totally nauseated by these stories, Rose Marie was one of the first people I interviewed, along with Sophie Tucker. To show you how far back I go, it was right after I. As I recall, I interviewed John Quincy Adams when I was doing that political beat.
Rosemary, let's start with you, Roberta. How old is the lovely Rosemarie? I love you, Rosemary.
I'm sorry.
[00:16:44] Speaker D: Well, she's too old to be wearing bows in her hair, but she always does it, so she's got to be. I'm going to go way up here.
73.
[00:16:53] Speaker B: 73. Okay. What do you think, Florence?
[00:16:56] Speaker D: I think Rosemary is about 75.
[00:17:00] Speaker B: 75.
Okay, Dan.
[00:17:03] Speaker D: Still looks good.
[00:17:05] Speaker B: I guess she does. I haven't seen her. Haven't seen her since the Dick Van Dyke Show.
[00:17:09] Speaker C: That's the last time she worked.
[00:17:12] Speaker B: Oh, no.
[00:17:12] Speaker E: She was on the Monkeys once.
[00:17:14] Speaker B: Was she really? Yep.
[00:17:16] Speaker E: She was Mrs. Big.
[00:17:18] Speaker B: I see. Okay, Dan, how old would you say Rosemary is?
[00:17:22] Speaker C: I'm gonna go 76.
[00:17:24] Speaker B: 76.
[00:17:27] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:17:28] Speaker B: Okay, Mike, what do you say?
74.
[00:17:34] Speaker C: Mike, are you all wearing coat?
[00:17:38] Speaker B: He sounds like he's wearing a raincoat.
You didn't say. You didn't say that, did you?
[00:17:47] Speaker C: I can't hear him. It sounds like I. You know, when Irene called. The phone is so far away, I don't have a right code. I loaned it.
[00:17:54] Speaker B: Oh, that's. That's a.
That's. That's.
If I said he loaned it to Pee Wee Herman, that wouldn't be nice, would it?
Mike. Mike Mansfield. Mike from Mansfield. Marsh. Marshfield. Marshfield. I'm sorry, what. What do you say?
[00:18:10] Speaker D: 74.
[00:18:11] Speaker B: 74. Mike from Marshfield says 74. Okay. And Jack says 73.
Actually, Jack says.
What do you think, Tony?
[00:18:28] Speaker C: Rosemary to block. 75.
[00:18:32] Speaker B: I'm sorry. 75. Yeah, okay, I didn't. You don't have to get antagonistic about it. I just didn't hear you the first time.
I wasn't debating you on her age or anything.
[00:18:43] Speaker C: That's right, 75.
[00:18:44] Speaker B: Okay, 75.
Well, she would not be very flattered to know that you all wildly overestimated her age.
[00:18:53] Speaker C: No, we don't care what you think.
[00:18:55] Speaker B: No, didn't you already say 74? That. Oh, that was. Mike from Nashville said that.
I'm sorry, I asked the wrong mic. Okay, Mike, what do you think?
[00:19:04] Speaker C: Well, you got the hit, Mike. I know it.
Disqualified. Mike.
[00:19:13] Speaker B: What do you think, Mike?
70. 70.
[00:19:18] Speaker C: He wins, probably.
[00:19:20] Speaker B: Okay.
Yeah, actually, he does win.
[00:19:24] Speaker C: And he was 15 years off.
[00:19:28] Speaker B: Well, I thought all the guesses were in.
Okay, Rose, should there be a tie at the end of this, we'll disqualify this round.
Rosemary is actually 66.
[00:19:40] Speaker C: Wow.
[00:19:41] Speaker F: Wow.
[00:19:41] Speaker B: A lot of people are going to say, oh, give me a break. Oh, sure.
[00:19:44] Speaker C: Give me a break. Oh, sure.
[00:19:46] Speaker B: No, but she started out as a child star, so most people.
I don't know. Lionel Barrymore never was a child star or anything.
She's 66, which means that I had.
[00:20:05] Speaker E: A friend whose mother was very old when she had him, and he was an adult when he was born.
[00:20:13] Speaker B: Yeah, wasn't that a stupid comment?
We've just been talking about Jack with his wonderful sense of humor.
[00:20:19] Speaker C: Keep a nice job, Jack.
[00:20:21] Speaker B: And he comes along with that comment, which destroys everything about to the East. Anyway, Mike Epstein, our producer, said 70. He was only four years off, and he's the closest.
[00:20:32] Speaker D: And I got a major hint on.
[00:20:33] Speaker B: That one because he got a major hint. That's right. You don't get a prize. Anyway, even if you win everything.
[00:20:39] Speaker C: Major. Hint. Any relation to General Comments?
[00:20:41] Speaker B: Oh, he's related to Major Bose, which is another kind of an old, old reference.
[00:20:50] Speaker C: Like General Dynamics.
[00:20:51] Speaker B: Right, General Dynamics and General Electric. That's correct.
[00:20:54] Speaker E: Corporal Punishment.
[00:20:55] Speaker B: Yeah, Corporal punishment. Yes.
[00:20:58] Speaker C: Private eyes.
[00:21:01] Speaker D: We should get every person on this panel. Corporal.
[00:21:08] Speaker B: And where is this Kentucky Fried Colonels? I don't. I don't know.
[00:21:12] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:21:12] Speaker B: Anyway, Mike Connor's the. The actor.
[00:21:15] Speaker D: I hate him.
[00:21:19] Speaker B: He stood Jeff once and right off, right off he becomes the enemy.
[00:21:24] Speaker C: Okay, Is this the Rifleman?
[00:21:27] Speaker B: No, no, no, that was Chuck Connors. Yeah, this is Mike Connors. The Mannix who reminds me, reminds me very much, and think about this, of myself. Very smooth, sophisticated and terribly good looking. Do you know what. You know what Mike Connor's real name is?
Of course you don't.
[00:21:45] Speaker E: And if you did, it's a Lebanese name or something.
[00:21:49] Speaker B: That's right. Or something. It's Creek or Ohanian.
Sounds like. I know. This is going to be a terrible case.
[00:21:57] Speaker C: I understand why he changed it.
[00:21:58] Speaker B: Yeah, Kriko Onanian. Once you know, it takes you a while to get used to it. But once you know it, you never forget that name. Creek or Ohanian.
[00:22:06] Speaker E: Sure, he's an Irish. Lebanese.
[00:22:08] Speaker B: Something of that nature. He owns a.
He owns a rug store in Newton, Lower Falls.
[00:22:17] Speaker C: He's the guy, Paul.
[00:22:18] Speaker B: He's just come back from Persia. You notice on those rug commercials they always say he just came back from Persia. They never say the current name. That's right. Iran. They don't dare say that.
We've had our chuckles at Mike Connor's expense. How does a Creek or Ohanian become a Mike Connors, though? That's kind of funny. Yeah. Okay, Mike Connors. Let's start with Dan. How old is Mike Connors?
[00:22:43] Speaker C: I will say 65.
[00:22:46] Speaker B: 65, okay. And Mike in Marshfield, what do you think?
[00:22:50] Speaker C: 71.
[00:22:52] Speaker B: 71, okay. Same age as Wendy. Hillary, you thought he's the one that.
[00:22:59] Speaker C: Invented that flying machine. They called it the Wendy Copter.
[00:23:04] Speaker B: You notice the dead silence that was greeted?
[00:23:06] Speaker C: Wow.
[00:23:08] Speaker B: I hope that. I hope that'll be a lesson.
[00:23:10] Speaker C: You sure you didn't mean the helicopter.
[00:23:17] Speaker B: Or the Wendy Burger or something? Well, anyway.
Oh, shut up, all of you. Roberta, what do you think? How old is Mike Connors?
[00:23:25] Speaker D: Man is at least 62.
[00:23:28] Speaker B: 62, okay. Boy, does he hate you.
[00:23:30] Speaker D: And I hate him too.
[00:23:31] Speaker B: I know you do.
[00:23:32] Speaker D: Never liked him.
Couldn't act his way through a paperback.
[00:23:36] Speaker B: Must have been a terrible date you guys had.
Florence, what do you say?
[00:23:41] Speaker D: I say he's 65.
[00:23:42] Speaker C: And I adore him.
[00:23:43] Speaker B: You adore him?
[00:23:44] Speaker D: I think he's fabulous.
[00:23:46] Speaker B: Okay, you and Dan from Waltham both say 65, right?
[00:23:50] Speaker C: Okay, Mike, I think he's 62.
[00:23:54] Speaker B: 62, tone. And what do you think, Tony?
[00:23:57] Speaker C: I don't know who he is. 65.
[00:23:59] Speaker E: You never saw Mannix?
[00:24:00] Speaker C: Oh, I know Mannix, sure. But I haven't seen it in ages, so. Oh, well, I'm. Never mind. Someone loved him, someone hate him. I figured I'd say, I don't know who.
[00:24:10] Speaker B: Kind of planet cool.
[00:24:12] Speaker C: Exactly.
[00:24:13] Speaker D: Abraham Lincoln either. But you could guess all he was when he.
[00:24:18] Speaker C: Speaking of dead silence.
[00:24:22] Speaker B: That's right, too. We must play that game about how old dead people.
Jack, how old is Mike Connors?
[00:24:30] Speaker E: 64.
[00:24:31] Speaker B: 64. Okay, I think it's time to open up the envelope and see how old he actually is.
[00:24:39] Speaker C: Air mailed from Persia.
[00:24:43] Speaker B: Son of a gun. That's what it says.
Mike Connors is actually 66 years old today. So, Dan.
[00:24:50] Speaker D: Hey.
[00:24:52] Speaker B: And Florence and Tony, all of whom guess. 65.
[00:24:57] Speaker C: Thank you.
[00:24:59] Speaker B: Okay, so as we hit about the halfway mark. Oh, my. We're really running late, aren't we?
Dan has one and Florence has one.
Mike Epstein has two, Tony has two, and the rest of you are a bunch of deadbeats.
[00:25:20] Speaker D: I knew I should have stayed with Tony. I knew it.
[00:25:24] Speaker B: Tony wanted to stay with you. He brought his pajamas and toothbrush and everything.
Oh, no.
[00:25:29] Speaker D: Oh, no.
[00:25:30] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, no. You didn't like the color scheme?
[00:25:33] Speaker D: Those are the ones with the feet in them.
[00:25:35] Speaker C: Yeah, you bet.
[00:25:36] Speaker B: And the little. The little. The little flap in the back.
[00:25:39] Speaker C: The little hatch. Yeah, the hatch.
[00:25:43] Speaker B: Okay. Linda Ellerby. You know Linda Ellerby.
And so it goes. Yeah, she. She wrote. She's just written her second book, and the first book was after her slogan, which I always thought was that stupid slogan. And so it goes. And I thought, well, I don't know, somehow gonna come up with a slogan. You ought to do better than that. And so it goes. It's like a slogan being.
That's the way stuff goes. Stuff things.
[00:26:09] Speaker D: What's your slogan?
[00:26:11] Speaker B: Well, I mean, if I had a slogan, it would be better than. And so it goes, which is like.
[00:26:15] Speaker C: What my slogan slogan is. Bye, Bio Sport.
[00:26:19] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right.
Roberta, be quiet.
You tell me. You guess first, how old is Linda Ellerby today?
[00:26:31] Speaker D: 42.
[00:26:32] Speaker B: About 42.
Okay.
[00:26:34] Speaker D: Exactly 42.
[00:26:35] Speaker B: Okay. Well, I'm marking down 42 anyway.
[00:26:38] Speaker G: Okay.
[00:26:39] Speaker B: And Florence is going to take a shot at that, too. How old would you say, Florence?
[00:26:42] Speaker D: 48.
[00:26:43] Speaker G: 48.
[00:26:44] Speaker B: Okay, Dan, what do you say?
[00:26:47] Speaker C: I'll go 45.
[00:26:50] Speaker B: And Mike Epstein, I'll go a little higher than that.
[00:26:54] Speaker D: Office is 49.
[00:26:56] Speaker B: 49.
And Robert, I know Robert already guessed. Micah from Marshfield. What do you think?
[00:27:05] Speaker C: 47.
[00:27:06] Speaker B: 47.
Tony?
[00:27:09] Speaker C: 47.
[00:27:10] Speaker B: 47.
[00:27:13] Speaker C: I think I heard that somewhere before, but Jack.
[00:27:18] Speaker E: Hey, I'll raise you one and go 48.
[00:27:20] Speaker B: 48. Okay.
Okay. The actual age of Linda ellerby actually is 47.
[00:27:29] Speaker C: Thanks, Mike.
[00:27:30] Speaker B: Mike and Tony both said that.
Did you know that for sure? Mike from Marshfield?
[00:27:37] Speaker C: No, I was just guessing in between everybody else.
[00:27:41] Speaker B: Oh, I see.
[00:27:42] Speaker C: Like I've been doing all night. This is the first time I met him.
[00:27:46] Speaker B: But on this one, this one, most everybody guessed very, very close.
[00:27:50] Speaker C: And just look at her. And I said, I just had that. I got a vibe. I said she's 47.
[00:27:54] Speaker D: And that's, that's how it is.
[00:27:56] Speaker B: And you stuck with the original impression. And that's the way to go. That's the way to go, Tony. And it should be a lesson to all us little folks.
[00:28:03] Speaker C: Don't you forget it.
[00:28:03] Speaker B: And the generation yet unborn.
Okay, how about we'll go to royalty now, ladies and gentlemen, and Princess Anne, she's married to Mark Phillips, remember? Did that, that Princess Anne from England.
[00:28:19] Speaker A: The only one.
[00:28:20] Speaker B: The only daughter of Queen Elizabeth ii. That's correct.
Which means that her future of being a queen and stuff is non existent. Just about, I'd say.
Anyway, Princess Anne, let's start with you, Jack. How old is she?
[00:28:35] Speaker C: Oh.
[00:28:44] Speaker E: Is she older or younger than the fellow with the ears?
[00:28:48] Speaker D: Older.
[00:28:48] Speaker B: Oh, you mean their brother? Yeah, the one who looks like Newman.
The Mad magazine.
No, he does, he does look a lot like him.
I don't know. I, I, I. Well, I can't give you clues like that.
[00:29:10] Speaker E: Is it, is she between 46 and 47?
[00:29:13] Speaker C: She's.
[00:29:15] Speaker B: I can't, I can't get close, you know, you know that.
42. 42. Okay.
[00:29:22] Speaker C: Tony, I think she's 52.
[00:29:24] Speaker B: 52, Mike.
Mike. That is Mike Epstein.
[00:29:28] Speaker C: That's too old, isn't it?
I'm gonna go with Jackson, so it sounds good to me. I'll say 42.
[00:29:33] Speaker B: 42, okay. And Florence?
[00:29:36] Speaker D: 43.
[00:29:37] Speaker B: 43, sure.
[00:29:39] Speaker C: Break the mold.
[00:29:42] Speaker B: Roberta.
[00:29:43] Speaker D: Geez, I gotta get one right now. She's got to be about 44.
[00:29:47] Speaker B: About 44. Okay. And the Marshfield other Mike.
[00:29:56] Speaker C: 41.
[00:29:58] Speaker B: 41 says Mike from Marshfield. And Dan from Waltham says 45. 45. Okay, here's the magic moment when we figure out her age, ladies and gentlemen, is she is actually 41. Which is what Mike and Marshfield said.
Yeah.
Okay, let's see where we stand. We have just one more actually.
Let's see. Dan has one.
Mike in Marshfield has two.
Roberta I know. Oh, geez. Wow.
[00:30:31] Speaker D: Zero.
[00:30:32] Speaker B: Okay. Florence has one.
And Mike. Mike Epstein has two.
Tony has three.
Son of a Gun has three. And Jack, dare I say it?
Zilch.
Zilch. That's what I dare say. Zilch. Nothing.
Okay.
[00:30:58] Speaker E: How will I ever face my family?
[00:31:01] Speaker C: Well, you can't usually fake front.
[00:31:04] Speaker B: Your family just came. Your family just came into the teen canteen here and they left a note says you loser from the family of Jack Hart.
Keep him there. Don't ever let him come home again because he'll never be able to face.
[00:31:23] Speaker C: Him right when you get work.
[00:31:27] Speaker B: Okay. This is a Gene. Gene Upshaw.
This is kind of tough. He's in the football hall of fame.
Born in Robstown, Texas.
And I. And big help. And you have to tell me how many years ago Gene up. Do you know the name Gene Upshow?
I suppose. I suppose you girls would know.
No, that's the. That's all the information I have on it.
[00:31:52] Speaker C: I mean anything else in the list.
[00:31:56] Speaker B: Well, I tell you what's that.
[00:31:58] Speaker D: They're greedy.
[00:31:59] Speaker C: No, I.
[00:32:00] Speaker B: No, it's not.
[00:32:01] Speaker C: No. Desperate.
[00:32:02] Speaker B: I should have actually stopped the game just before we got to this. I could have done that.
The only other name. Well, there are a couple of others. One is Jim Dale. The actor.
You don't know that one either?
[00:32:15] Speaker C: No, I didn't hear you what the last name was.
[00:32:16] Speaker B: Dale. D, A L E. Jim Dale. There's also Actress.
Actress. Janet Rule.
[00:32:26] Speaker C: Any other information besides actress?
Like a movie she was in maybe?
[00:32:32] Speaker B: No, I don't have that. No.
[00:32:35] Speaker D: Wasn't he the sort of a mediator in the football strike? Yes, he was.
[00:32:41] Speaker B: I guess you're right there. Okay, hey, I'm all excited now. Okay. I want to guess his age then.
[00:32:47] Speaker C: I think he has some relations with people in China. I think the last name is Rickshaw.
[00:32:53] Speaker E: I had heard that his father was. Was an insurance. And his. He had a hyphenated name Upshore and upshore up your premiums.
[00:33:01] Speaker D: How about too sure.
[00:33:04] Speaker B: Are you all quite true?
[00:33:07] Speaker C: Not quite.
[00:33:07] Speaker B: Wait a minute with your cockamamie jokes.
[00:33:10] Speaker D: Pay attention everybody.
[00:33:11] Speaker B: Okay, we're gonna start with Dan in Dan first. How old would you take a shot at? How old is Gene Upshaw?
[00:33:21] Speaker C: 58.
[00:33:23] Speaker B: And what do you think, Mr. Marshfield? Mike?
[00:33:25] Speaker C: 52.
And Roberta, 52.
[00:33:32] Speaker D: Gotten everything right so far.
[00:33:35] Speaker C: Stick with.
[00:33:37] Speaker B: And Florence, what do you say?
[00:33:38] Speaker D: He can't be any more than about 45 because he just. He just retired from football.
[00:33:45] Speaker B: Okay, 45 you say? And Mike, were you the guy saying. That's right, that's right, that's right. Okay, so you. You take a shot now, eh?
[00:33:54] Speaker D: 48.
[00:33:55] Speaker B: 48, that's right. Okay.
And Tony?
[00:33:59] Speaker C: 48.
[00:33:59] Speaker B: That's wrong.
48. Okay. And what do you think, Jack?
[00:34:08] Speaker E: 47.
[00:34:10] Speaker B: 47.
Okay. Imagine this is a thrilling moment, isn't it? Now when we actually find out how old Gene Upshaw really is.
I lost the paper.
[00:34:24] Speaker D: Thank God.
[00:34:26] Speaker B: No, I know exactly to go through this again. I know how old he is. He's actually 46.
Which means we had two winners. One is Florence, who said 45.
She was just a year off. And Jack said 47.
[00:34:41] Speaker C: Jack got on the board at least.
[00:34:42] Speaker B: So Jack. Jack got on the board.
[00:34:45] Speaker E: Now I can finally.
[00:34:46] Speaker C: Is there a tie? Now?
[00:34:47] Speaker B: Hold on a minute. I got another note from your family, Jack.
They say it's okay you come home, but not right away.
[00:34:56] Speaker D: They moved and left no forwarding address.
[00:34:59] Speaker B: They moved. Hold on a minute. Hey, Roberta said they moved and left no forwarding.
[00:35:04] Speaker C: Embroider that on your doily.
[00:35:08] Speaker B: Okay, so we have a. Dan has one, Mike has two.
This is sort of the. Anyway, Florence has two, Mike has.
That is the. The Mike Epstein from wbz. That Mike has two.
[00:35:26] Speaker C: Two.
[00:35:27] Speaker B: Tony has three.
Roberta, don't be a sore head. Don't be a sore head. No, don't even mention me and Jack ever. And Jack has one.
[00:35:36] Speaker C: Well, there's a tie. That. Because Dan and I are working as a team.
[00:35:42] Speaker B: Oh, I see.
[00:35:43] Speaker C: So you really glad you to mention that up front. I guess.
[00:35:46] Speaker B: I guess. Yeah. So. So you have three together. You have. You have the same amount.
The same amount that Tony has.
[00:35:54] Speaker C: Absolutely.
[00:35:56] Speaker B: I disqualify all of you.
Prizes instead will go to a charity of my choice.
Except they don't want it because they say who needs your tacky prizes?
Okay, I guess we do not have a winner in that case. Well, we do. We have Tony.
[00:36:15] Speaker C: But that term winner loosely, I guess, right?
[00:36:19] Speaker B: No, no, you are a winner. But you see, we say since. Since you were an employee of the. The great majestic and wondrous corporation.
I know it.
[00:36:31] Speaker E: Part time employee. You get half the price.
[00:36:33] Speaker C: Yeah, half attack.
[00:36:36] Speaker B: Which is a kind of. I imagine that's kind of hard to face your family with. I work for Westinghouse. Oh, really? Oh, why don't you Get a job.
Yeah, once you worst for a company that. Gee, I think if I make more jokes I put my entire life, future life in jeopardy. So we'll drop it there. But anyway, I thank you all for playing the game and you just are wonderful. And you all go away empty handed and just don't bug me, okay?
I don't need you whimpering and whining about I didn't get a prize. I don't need that.
[00:37:11] Speaker C: Okay, half hour.
[00:37:14] Speaker B: Okay. Is this your first crack at this, Dan?
[00:37:16] Speaker C: Yes, it is.
[00:37:17] Speaker B: You came through magnificently.
[00:37:18] Speaker C: Thank you.
[00:37:19] Speaker B: I enjoyed it and thank you very much. A lot of the kids here in the teen camp team said Dan is okay. And I appreciate you joining us also Mike down in Marshville. And we'll see you Saturday then, huh?

[00:37:48] Speaker B: Okay.
I thought it's a year's supply of.
[00:37:52] Speaker D: My cheeks are in flames.
[00:37:54] Speaker B: No, I, I, I thought you would like the prize.
[00:37:56] Speaker C: There's a time life book on life's mysteries.
[00:37:59] Speaker B: Oh no, actually it was.
That was a year's supply. It was a year's supply of cat litter and 2lb peanut brittle.
No, it was. Anyway, I'm glad you glad you liked it because it was selected with great love.
Bye bye Roberta. And let's see. Tony.
[00:38:22] Speaker C: Sir, sir, it's been a pleasure.

[00:38:32] Speaker B: Good night, Florence.
[00:38:33] Speaker C: Good night, Dan.
Good night, John boy.
[00:38:36] Speaker B: Okay, so long you guys. Oh boy, can I be sickening. I tell you, Florence, it was a pleasure to have you with us and I thank you very much for playing the game.
[00:38:44] Speaker D: It's been a pleasure. And I'd like to have your picture.
[00:38:47] Speaker B: Really?
[00:38:48] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:38:48] Speaker B: Oh, I'm excited by that.
[00:38:50] Speaker D: And I'd like to have Mike's picture too.
[00:38:53] Speaker B: I don't know. Do you have a picture, Mike? Mike is not on the line now, but he's, he'll talk to you and take your name and address. Okay, My Florence. And I'll send a picture out.
It's a picture of me taken many, many years ago because I don't send current pictures out as you know.
[00:39:08] Speaker D: And I'd also like to have a picture of your wife.
[00:39:11] Speaker B: I don't have any of those either. I can only give you the kind of. The station pictures. Yeah. How about a picture of my cousin Irving?
[00:39:20] Speaker D: Irving Bloom?
[00:39:21] Speaker B: No, his name is Irving Schlafman. He lives in Tucson, Arizona, but he's from Haverhill, Massachusetts originally.
And he's. He's not a terribly good looking guy. But then again, neither am I, so it doesn't really matter.
[00:39:33] Speaker D: Well, if he's single, no problem.
[00:39:36] Speaker B: How about my cousin Harry Fleet from Haverhill?
[00:39:39] Speaker D: Send him along.
[00:39:40] Speaker B: I'll send you that and also my Tanta Malka.
[00:39:43] Speaker D: Anything else you want to send?
[00:39:45] Speaker B: Okay, hold on. Here's Mike. He's gonna take your name and address, Florence. And I'll send you an assorted picture myself.
What I'll do is I'll cut it up so it'll come out like a crossword puzzle and you'll have to put it together in order to see how ugly I really am.
[00:40:00] Speaker D: Well, when I go to school in two weeks, I'll have the kids put it together.
[00:40:03] Speaker B: When you go to school?
[00:40:04] Speaker D: Yeah. I teach.
[00:40:06] Speaker B: Oh, I didn't know that.
[00:40:07] Speaker C: What.

Yes, because all we did was get a whole bunch of cars sliding around in the slop. Yes, stuff like that. And crashes and accidents and all that. And. And there I go again.
[00:40:40] Speaker E: The weather inclement. Could be mighty, mighty horrible.
[00:40:43] Speaker B: Mighty horrible. Hey, thank you. We'll talk to you in about 15 minutes, okay? Okay. There goes my friend Jack. And there go I too.

If you protect your house by putting locks on the door, do you save money on your homeowner's insurance?
Of course. The answer is no.
If you protect your health by taking vitamins every day, do you save money on your health insurance?
Well, the answer, the way I look at it, is also a big no.
If you protect your car by equipping it with a complete LoJack security system, will you save money on your auto insurance?
The answer there is yes, 35% off the comprehensive portion of your insurance premium.
Not to mention, you avoid the 50% insurance surcharge that hit many makes and models of Ford, General Motors, Chryslers, Toyotas, Saab's, BMWs and Mercedes last January.
And the savings just got easier. For this week and this week only, you can get a free LoJack Prevent security system, a $100 retail value when you buy the basic LoJack retrieve system.
LoJack Prevent is a passive starter disabler that keeps joyriding thieves from starting your car and stealing it.
LoJack retrieve is the device hidden in your car that allows police to track and find it quickly. Don't wait any longer to save up to 35% on your comprehensive insurance.
Ask your new car dealer or call 1-844-Lojack.
You get a $100 value free, but only till August 16th. That's only till tomorrow.
That's 1, 844, LoJack. L, O, J, A, C, K.
And ask for Ann.
Okay, thank you very much. It's a pleasure doing business with you.
[00:47:08] Speaker G: The flavor of the deep.
[00:47:12] Speaker C: The real.
[00:47:13] Speaker G: True flavor of the Deep runs deep in Campbell's New England Clam Chowder.
Maybe that's why in a recent national taste test, 6 out of 10 New England clam chowder users tested preferred Campbell's to snows.
Could be the tender clams, tasty potatoes and onions, delicious broth and savory seasonings. Whatever. 60% of the people tested picked Campbell's over Snow's for the taste.
Tender clams, creamy clam broth. Definitely good.

[00:49:18] Speaker B: Okay, it's about four minutes before four. There's a new musical that's being planned and I guess they already have the dog for it. It's a musical based on Nick and Nora. In fact, that's what it's going to be called. I guess.
It's a musical version of the Thin Men. Remember the Thin man series?
William Powell and Myrna Loy, Both very hip, very sophisticated folks with a dog named Asta.
An Irish what kind of a dog? And I forgot but they have a dog named a wire haired terrier.
They have a dog named Riley.
A former stray plucked from the pound will play Asta in Nick and Nora. Musical version of the Thin Man.
Riley was the dog's name. Riley was found in a county shelter in Orange, California. Since then he's been taught not to scratch himself or look around on stage.
His trainer is Bill Berloni who made Sandy a star in Annie the Music. Oh, the musical stars Barry Bostwick and Joanna Gleason. Opens in November. This has got to be one of the first brand new full scale American musicals since Annie. I guess there were some other shows, some other musicals since Annie, but I can't none of them successful that I can recall.
The American musical comedy theater. Musical theater is just very, very special and it's been pretty, pretty dead while they've been bringing in English and French imports. So it'd be nice if this works out.
It'll be called Nick and Nora.
