Someone who won't answer the phone.
I'm on the hotline. Jack Hart, Esther in Wanamasa, New Jersey. Wayne from Boston and Joan in Salem, New Hampshire.
Dick Gregory, Luciano Pavrati, Susan Anton, Chris Wallace, Tony Kubec, Kirk Cameron. And which birthday or days will close out the game? Sam Moore or Adam Rich or Gene Nitich? Or will it be an event?
Oh, the suspense is killing me.
Episode 255 Radio Opera serenades its way to your ears in 3, 2 and 1.
[00:01:52] Speaker B: And we get to keep getting recorded message saying, john, you have not paid your phone bill.
The members of the phone company coming up to your house to beat you to a pulp unless you pay the bill. But you certainly are not going to get it anyway. We're unable to get in touch with her. So if you. Tony Nesbitt's gonna play the game. Is he on the hotline?
Is Tony on the hotline?
[00:02:19] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:02:20] Speaker B: There you are, Tony.
[00:02:21] Speaker C: I'm on the hot line.
[00:02:22] Speaker B: You're on the hotline. You know what that means. You're on the same line that we've had some incredibly hot sizzlers on the line before. I'm not sure you can live up to it, although I have great faith in you.
[00:02:34] Speaker C: Oh, you know, we had.
[00:02:37] Speaker B: As you know, we had Gina Davis.
We had.
Oh, I just can't even begin to name them. I forget who the sexy people are in the movies that are these days. I gotta.
[00:02:49] Speaker C: Michelle Pfeiffer.
[00:02:50] Speaker B: Michelle? Well, yeah, of course. She's always been one of my favorites.
Sophia Loren has been the sizzling hot. She's called me.
[00:02:57] Speaker C: She still is hot when you come down to her.
[00:02:59] Speaker B: Yeah, she really. She really is. Yeah, she's really something special. I'm delighted that you're playing the dumb birthday game with.
[00:03:04] Speaker C: I'm delighted to be playing. It's been a while.
[00:03:06] Speaker B: Yes. And I, I wanted to mention that this past day I did spend a lot of. A fair amount of time typing out letters and stuff. I just have ignored everything for weeks.
So some people who even won. You remember the, the, the, the. This, what do you call it? The squall music quiz. Way back, like in August.
I just never got around to sending out those swell, misspelled, unfunny, badly printed gift certificates.
[00:03:37] Speaker C: Now they were also supposed to get.
[00:03:40] Speaker D: That million dollar bill with your picture.
[00:03:42] Speaker C: On it, but we haven't got the new pictures in yet.
[00:03:45] Speaker B: Oh, that's right too. That's right. That's why it said.
I saw it listed there and I couldn't. I didn't remember what that meant. It said million dollar winners. Yes, that was what that was. But I did. I am sending those out over this weekend so they'll get them sometime by the first of the week or the middle of the week anyway.
[00:04:03] Speaker C: But they won't get the million dollars.
[00:04:05] Speaker B: No, they won't get the million dollars. We'll have to hold that for next time. Plus the fact I sent out a number of dumb birthday game prizes of, you know, the big envelopes full of the junk and so people. Some of those will get out over the next few days. So you've already.
[00:04:21] Speaker C: I was going to say I was going to ask you to give me a list of the names and I could leave you piles of stuff.
[00:04:28] Speaker B: Oh, if you would leave me piles of stuff.
But really junky stuff.
[00:04:33] Speaker C: Well, yeah, but good junky stuff.
[00:04:36] Speaker B: Good junky stuff. Okay.
Because I still have a lot of junky stuff to get out.
[00:04:41] Speaker C: Yeah. If you leave me a list or something like that, I can put them in envelopes and then leave them for.
[00:04:46] Speaker B: You or just leave me the junky stuff. And I just love sitting at home and piling junk into envelopes. It's a kind of. It's a therapy for me in a sense.
[00:04:56] Speaker C: But you know me. The house is all nice and clean now, you know. You don't want to take that.
[00:05:00] Speaker B: No, no, that's good.
[00:05:01] Speaker C: No, no, no.
[00:05:03] Speaker B: Well, no, that's okay. No, that's, that's how I'm keeping the house, you know, without clutter.
[00:05:08] Speaker D: By.
[00:05:08] Speaker B: By whenever anything is Cluttering up our house. I send it out as a prize and I'm. That's right.
[00:05:15] Speaker C: It's junky clutter.
[00:05:16] Speaker B: It's junkie clutter. You want to talk to Jack Hart. Not really talking about junkie clutter. That's his name. That's his name. When he said. When he's a circus clown.
[00:05:27] Speaker C: That's his Indian name.
[00:05:28] Speaker B: Is that your name? Junkie Clutter?
[00:05:30] Speaker D: Yes, that's me. Junkie Clutter. That, that will be for now until I, I get a little bit older and then it'll be moving around garbage.
[00:05:40] Speaker B: Then later on it's hardly moving around.
[00:05:46] Speaker D: It's wallowing in trash, dead and unable.
[00:05:50] Speaker B: To get out of bed.
Now, we were talking the other day about names and why we have to say have the same names. For example, the most dramatic thing of my life when they changed the area codes so I became a 508 instead of a 617.
I was so excited about that.
[00:06:12] Speaker C: I remember that party you had.
[00:06:14] Speaker B: We had a big party. Yeah.
[00:06:15] Speaker C: It was like a three day weekend.
[00:06:17] Speaker B: Yeah. It was a beautiful thing. We have not. And. And now they're talking about dividing that up again. So we're going to have new zip codes or area codes.
[00:06:25] Speaker D: Yes.
[00:06:26] Speaker B: Which I think is really exciting. And we can change again, you know.
[00:06:29] Speaker D: And if you get a. And if you have a cellular phone or a pager, you can have an entirely different area code. From what I understand.
You could be a fight. You could have a 508 there. You could have a 617 portable phone. And. And you could have a. For that matter, you could have a 413 pager.
[00:06:50] Speaker B: Oi, I'm salivating.
[00:06:51] Speaker C: And you might even be able to get one number that the person can use to reach you anywhere in the world.
[00:06:58] Speaker D: Anywhere. They call you at the office, it brings you in your car, it brings you at home, it brings your pager, it brings your children.
[00:07:08] Speaker B: Well, you know, I'm so glad to be a gosh darn American.
[00:07:14] Speaker C: Gosh darn it.
[00:07:16] Speaker B: No, that's. No, that's. But I mean, I think that's really so nice because I'm still. I'm still feeling the exhilaration from being a 508 from a 617. Who knows what will be next? 10 years ago.
Has it been that long?
[00:07:29] Speaker C: 86.
[00:07:30] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, before it was.
[00:07:33] Speaker D: I can tell you it was 1987 or 8.
[00:07:38] Speaker C: Okay.
I was close. Eight or nine years ago. All right.
[00:07:41] Speaker B: Okay.
There was something else I was going to say, but it doesn't really matter. Because it probably would be just as boring as some of the other things I've said. Oh, yeah, yeah. We were talking the other day about to break the monotony. That's why I brought up the different zip area code numbers. And the reason I brought it up was because we're talking about the fact we're born with a name and we have to have the same name throughout the rest of our lives.
And that just seems kind of boring, too, that we ought to, when we get older, be able to pick a name that applies to us more as we're an older person. And I think it was you, Tony, who said, in the Indian culture.
[00:08:19] Speaker D: Oh, that was me.
[00:08:20] Speaker B: Oh, you said that?
[00:08:21] Speaker C: Yeah. And I brought it up again last night when we were talking.
[00:08:24] Speaker B: Okay. The fact that in the Indian culture they do change their names later on because they do different things and.
And live different kinds of lives as adults than they would have as kids.
[00:08:36] Speaker C: So that.
[00:08:37] Speaker B: That is kind of nice. I wasn't thinking of going quite that dramatic, but maybe, like, if you could change your name, Jack, like, right now, what would. What would be a more appropriate name for you now?
Because you were born with the name John. Yes.
[00:08:51] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:08:52] Speaker B: What would be a more appropriate name for you now?
[00:08:55] Speaker D: Well, let me see. What would be a good name for me?
[00:08:58] Speaker B: Millard Fillmore.
See, you're not getting into the spirit of this thing at all, are you? You don't really care.
[00:09:05] Speaker D: Well, actually. Actually, I was.
[00:09:07] Speaker B: Millard would be okay.
[00:09:08] Speaker D: Would be okay, yeah. For years I was Jackie in grammar school. But then when I got older, it became more Jack, a good, solid name. So for now that would be good. But as. As I got older, what name would I take?
[00:09:24] Speaker C: Jackson.
[00:09:26] Speaker B: Jackson.
[00:09:27] Speaker D: I think maybe I would revert back to a more dignified John.
[00:09:32] Speaker B: John would be nice. Of course, you could change it totally. It could be Maxwell.
Yeah.
[00:09:39] Speaker C: It could be a totally different Maximilian.
[00:09:41] Speaker B: Yeah. What. What about you? Tony or Anthony? What. What would you like your name to be later on? No, right now.
[00:09:49] Speaker C: Right now.
[00:09:49] Speaker B: You like. You like the name Tony, Anthony and stuff?
[00:09:52] Speaker C: Yeah. That's all right, I guess.
You know, I've been. I've had it for 29 years. I suppose I'm kind of used to it by now. Yeah.
[00:09:58] Speaker D: Of course, if I was going to go the natural route, you know, like Indians or something, you know, maybe I'd pick something that would give me sort of an air of being wise or something like that, you know, like.
Like barn owl or, you know, something, you know, wise and such.
[00:10:16] Speaker B: Wouldn't you have Some kind of a name that would kind of reflect the business that you're in. Something to do with traffic, like he who looks out at cars or something like that. I would think it would have to apply to. I would think with the business that you're in, he who examines potholes, Something like that.
[00:10:36] Speaker D: Or maybe if I was, you know, if I could ever manage to get myself a talk show, something that would have to do with passing along information, you know, like.
Like the name of a wise old prophet or something, you know, Nostradamus or something.
[00:10:52] Speaker C: Yeah, Nostradamus Heart.
[00:10:56] Speaker D: That would be me.
[00:10:57] Speaker B: Yes. That would be nice. Well, it goes better with Nostradamus Heart. Goes better that way than, say, Nostradamus Corfinkel.
Okay. You probably. You guys are probably anxious to see who you're going to be working with on this panel, I would think. Are you excited about that? Yeah, yeah.
[00:11:16] Speaker C: I'll come up with a new name for myself later on. Okay.
[00:11:18] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:11:19] Speaker C: I'll think of a real.
[00:11:19] Speaker B: You just bust in at whatever's happening at the time.
[00:11:22] Speaker C: Maybe. Moishe.
[00:11:24] Speaker B: Moishe. Moishe Nesbit would be nice.
I knew a Tyrone Schwartz when I was a kid. He was named after Tyrone Power.
[00:11:33] Speaker C: You know what? I think I found it. Lamont.
[00:11:36] Speaker D: Lamont.
[00:11:37] Speaker B: Lamont Nesbitt.
[00:11:38] Speaker D: You have the ability to cloud people's minds.
[00:11:41] Speaker C: Is that the deal? Yeah.
[00:11:42] Speaker B: Yeah, we have. Let's see. Who do we have now?
[00:11:46] Speaker C: We.
[00:11:46] Speaker B: Esther, who's in New Jersey. Hello, Esther.
[00:11:49] Speaker E: Hi, Norm.
[00:11:50] Speaker B: Hi. See, you have a nice biblical name, so you probably wouldn't want to change that.
[00:11:54] Speaker E: No, no, I like it.
[00:11:55] Speaker B: Yeah, Esther's a nice name.
[00:11:56] Speaker D: But of course, over the radio, we can't see Esther.
[00:11:59] Speaker C: Oh, wow.
Yeah.
[00:12:01] Speaker B: Could you describe yourself for.
[00:12:03] Speaker C: For.
[00:12:04] Speaker B: For Jack. Apparently, he would like to know what you look like. I think that's what he was suggesting.
[00:12:09] Speaker D: Well, siesta, you see, like. Siesta, like a nap.
[00:12:13] Speaker B: No, it's not. Nothing like that. No, it's nothing like that.
[00:12:16] Speaker C: No.
[00:12:17] Speaker B: Where in New Jersey are you, by the way, Esther?
[00:12:20] Speaker E: Wanamasa. Small town at the Jersey shore.
[00:12:23] Speaker B: And what's the name of the town again?
[00:12:25] Speaker E: Wanamasa.
[00:12:27] Speaker B: See, now that's an Indian name. You know what that means, Esther?
[00:12:30] Speaker E: It's an Indian chief's name who used to have his tribe here.
[00:12:33] Speaker B: Oh, I see. I thought it might have to be some kind of magical thing, like he who lives by the seashore and sits on seashells.
[00:12:45] Speaker D: Walks.
[00:12:48] Speaker B: Sits with a funny way or something.
[00:12:50] Speaker D: Squirms with a rubber.
[00:12:52] Speaker B: Donut no, I'm.
[00:12:53] Speaker E: The name street here is Wikipeco.
[00:12:55] Speaker B: Wikipeco.
[00:12:56] Speaker E: Wikipeco.
[00:12:58] Speaker B: That is really so nice. Wikipeco.
[00:13:01] Speaker C: That's right. In Wanamasa. Right.
[00:13:04] Speaker B: Okay. We have Wayne is on the line with us also. Wayne is here in Boston. Hello, Wayne.
[00:13:10] Speaker C: Norm, always a pleasure.
[00:13:12] Speaker B: Always a pleasure to have you, too. Do you. Would you like a different name than Wayne?
[00:13:16] Speaker C: Sure. Mortimer will be fine.
[00:13:17] Speaker B: Mortimer's good. Yeah, that's a real manly name.
That's good. And we have Joan, who's up in Salem, New Hampshire. Hello, Joan Rather.
[00:13:26] Speaker C: How you doing?
[00:13:27] Speaker E: I'm doing fine. How are you, Norm?
[00:13:29] Speaker B: I'm fine, thank you. Do you get to. You have to explain that you're in New Hampshire, not in Massachusetts? Salem in Massachusetts a lot.
[00:13:35] Speaker E: I stepped with the area code, so now you're talking about changing them again.
[00:13:39] Speaker C: Oh, Lord.
[00:13:41] Speaker E: As soon as I get. I get familiar with the channels.
[00:13:45] Speaker B: Yeah, but you're 603 up there, aren't you? In New Hampshire? Yes, and the whole state is 603.
[00:13:50] Speaker E: Right.
[00:13:51] Speaker B: Well, so you haven't had to change anything, have you?
[00:13:54] Speaker E: No, but I'm staying in Mass right now.
And I gave him the area called a 617, which is really 508.
That's where I got nicknamed.
[00:14:04] Speaker C: It's an optical illusion, Norman.
[00:14:05] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right.
[00:14:08] Speaker E: Foliage isn't too good in southern New Hampshire.
[00:14:11] Speaker B: Your phone service is not too good.
[00:14:13] Speaker E: Foliage.
[00:14:14] Speaker B: Oh, your foliage. Yeah.
Yeah. Well, you live in Salem. You don't live that far north from where I live. I live in northeastern Massachusetts. We're not far from now. Our foliage is turned a little bit, but not, you know, it's not really wildly colorful yet.
[00:14:29] Speaker E: I'm in Methoon right now.
[00:14:31] Speaker B: Oh, you lucky person. You must have run into big bucks.
[00:14:34] Speaker E: Oh, really?
[00:14:35] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah. Nobody just happens to wander in the methoon, man.
[00:14:40] Speaker E: I was telling Tom, I have a beef with you and Bob, okay? You don't tell your telephone number that often.
[00:14:51] Speaker B: Yeah, well, that's because a lot of people take our phone number and they print it on the walls of washrooms, men's rooms, ladies rooms, and. Makes us feel cheap.
I feel cheap.
[00:15:03] Speaker D: Not lacking for a date, but.
[00:15:05] Speaker B: Yeah, No, I go to the men's room someplace for a good time. Call 617254, 1030. How do you think that makes me feel?
[00:15:15] Speaker C: Cheap.
[00:15:17] Speaker E: Cheap.
[00:15:17] Speaker B: Very cheap. Yes, very cheap.
Okay, you all guys, all ready to play the dumb birthday? Okay. Today's the birthday of Dick Gregory, and I will give you A little diet guru.
Diet guru, that's right. Comedian, author, diet guru, political activist from St. Louis, Missouri.
[00:15:39] Speaker C: And is he the one that used.
[00:15:41] Speaker E: To fast all the time?
[00:15:42] Speaker B: Yes, yes, he is the very same. I kind of felt badly when he kind of concentrated on that so much and not his humor, because he's a very funny, very perceptive kind of man. I've seen him perform as, just as a straight comic and he's, he's very, very funny.
[00:16:00] Speaker D: Now it's got to be at least 25 years since he's been. Since he's been considered like a comic, isn't it?
[00:16:06] Speaker B: Oh, at least that. Yeah, probably even more than that. I think the times I saw him were like back in the. I think back in the 60s, 70s at the very latest, but.
[00:16:16] Speaker E: Oh, he's been around for years.
[00:16:17] Speaker B: Yeah, so it's 25, 35 years, though. We're talking about when he was actually a stand up comic. He hasn't done that in a very, very long time.
Esther, what do you think?
[00:16:28] Speaker E: I don't think he has the strength to stand up.
[00:16:31] Speaker B: I don't know what you said, but I'll bet it was amusing.
[00:16:33] Speaker E: I said I don't think he has the strength to stand up.
[00:16:38] Speaker B: Well, he may not, because sometimes he's lost an awful lot of weight. How old do you think he is?
[00:16:43] Speaker E: Well, let me see. You know, I used to see him on TV and he was chubby.
[00:16:47] Speaker B: Wait a minute. How we, how come we got three people talking at the same time? No, Esther, you just tell me. He, she saw him on television. He was chubby.
[00:16:56] Speaker C: Yeah, he was.
[00:16:57] Speaker B: Is this Esther?
[00:16:58] Speaker E: This is me, Norm.
[00:16:59] Speaker B: Esther. Yeah. Okay. How old? Just tell me how old Dick Gregory is.
[00:17:04] Speaker E: I would say he's 63.
[00:17:06] Speaker B: Okay. What do you think, Wayne?
[00:17:08] Speaker C: Oh, no, he's 61.
[00:17:12] Speaker B: Okay, you gotta. You're gonna quarrel for two years.
Joan, what do you think?
[00:17:18] Speaker E: 75.
[00:17:19] Speaker B: 75. Okay. Tony, what do you say?
[00:17:23] Speaker C: 64.
[00:17:24] Speaker B: Tony says 64. And what do you say, Jack?
[00:17:28] Speaker D: 66.
[00:17:29] Speaker B: 66.
[00:17:32] Speaker C: Okay, he.
[00:17:33] Speaker B: 64 is correct.
Yeah. Tony, Tony, hit it right on the button.
[00:17:37] Speaker D: I remember when he helped the. There was a man who weighed over 1500 pounds.
[00:17:43] Speaker B: That's right.
[00:17:43] Speaker D: And. And he had helped him lose quite a bit of.
[00:17:47] Speaker B: Yeah, two, two or three pounds anyway.
That's right. That's the guy they had to lift up with a derrick or something to get him out of his house.
[00:17:55] Speaker C: You know, anyone will place that much. You get those stories confused. They all have to lift them with some kind of.
[00:18:00] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, forklift. Of some sort. I know. I know it. Can you imagine sitting there or being in bed all the time because you can't get out? And then them. It's horrible. Your rescuers coming to help you by bringing in a forklift.
[00:18:15] Speaker C: I mean, they've got a. They've got to tear down the walls. They've got to widen the doorways to get you. I mean, you read those stories. They haven't been out of their house in six months because they can't.
[00:18:25] Speaker B: I don't know.
[00:18:26] Speaker C: I have no idea how someone can.
[00:18:28] Speaker D: Get like that for years.
[00:18:30] Speaker C: I know there are benefits. He was his own zip code and his own area code.
[00:18:37] Speaker B: He had the pager, the beeper, mobile.
[00:18:40] Speaker D: Phone, all in the same place.
[00:18:42] Speaker B: I remember they. They brought him to a drive in theater one night. He put a white suit on him, and when he. When the wind blew down the screen, they showed the movie on him.
I recall. I remember that. It was like. It was just yesterday.
[00:18:58] Speaker C: After they washed his underwear, they hang. They hung it outside. The whole country surrendered.
[00:19:06] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:19:07] Speaker D: Anyway, he thought his date had. Had left him at the restaurant. Turns out that he was just under his arm. She was under his arm.
[00:19:14] Speaker B: Okay. Anyway, that's, of course, you know, when.
[00:19:17] Speaker C: He sits around the house, he sits around.
[00:19:20] Speaker B: He really sits around the house.
And thank you very much. Anyway, 64 is correct. Tony gets that. And Luciano Pavarotti. I love. I love saying names like that. Luciano.
Luciano.
Oh, I feel good. All right, there.
The opera star voted the.
Oh, no, let me see. Wait a minute.
He was in. Yes, Georgiou in 1982.
He's been in a million other things. That's the only thing they got listed here, is. Yes.
Giorgio.
[00:20:01] Speaker D: Has he been in a lot of movies, though?
[00:20:03] Speaker B: I. I don't know whether he has. Was he one of the Three Tenors?
[00:20:07] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:20:08] Speaker B: Three Tenors. Yeah. Luciano Pavarotti.
You know what Luciano Pavarotti means in English?
[00:20:14] Speaker D: Let me see.
[00:20:16] Speaker B: Sight, light.
[00:20:18] Speaker D: I'm guessing for Luciano.
[00:20:20] Speaker B: Luciano, yes.
[00:20:23] Speaker D: Father of Varati.
[00:20:28] Speaker B: Or a light that sees through parrots.
No, it actually means where the deer and the antelope play. It's actually an Indian name, even though it sounds a little Italian.
But there was a little Italian who actually went through an Indian tribe, and that's how they got the name.
[00:20:54] Speaker D: I understand they used to have spaghetti with bear gravy.
[00:20:59] Speaker B: That is the most stupid line I've ever heard.
Okay, let's start with you, Jack. How old is Murcia? No.
[00:21:12] Speaker D: Do you know what his. His is his cohort there.
[00:21:16] Speaker C: Placido.

[00:21:23] Speaker D: Please. Peaceful Sunday. Yes.
[00:21:25] Speaker C: Yeah, it is a good Indian name. Yeah.
[00:21:27] Speaker B: Yes, Peaceful Sunday.
[00:21:30] Speaker D: I'd rather be like sort of a Happy Wednesday at 3:15.
[00:21:33] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:21:36] Speaker B: Friday afternoon is good.
[00:21:40] Speaker C: Friday afternoon rush hour.
[00:21:41] Speaker B: Except if you work on weekends like I do, and then Monday morning is a great day.
[00:21:46] Speaker D: Well, you know, if I really had to change my name like that, the only one that I would ever want would be Saturday morning at 3.
[00:21:55] Speaker B: Saturday morning at 3. Like, like 3. How about 3:38?
[00:21:59] Speaker D: 3:38, yes.
[00:22:01] Speaker C: Excellent. First birthday?
[00:22:03] Speaker D: Yeah, let's see. What would the channel. He just left his wife of a number of years for like a 12 year old woman.
[00:22:12] Speaker C: He's kind of the.
What's his name there?
The guy's name before I brought it up.
[00:22:21] Speaker D: The Anthony Quinn of opera.

[00:22:26] Speaker D: Oh, Jerry Lee.
[00:22:27] Speaker C: Jerry Lee Lewis. Jerry Lee Lewis of opera.
[00:22:31] Speaker D: Although it's not a, it's not a sister or a cousin that he's married.
[00:22:42] Speaker C: Does anyone out there know where Luciano went to school? Where?
After high school, where went to. What's the matter you?
[00:23:02] Speaker B: No, but seriously, Jack, I wonder if you do know how old is Luciano Pavarotti?
[00:23:10] Speaker C: Oh, I would say 63.
[00:23:20] Speaker B: Oh, you poor child. Just lie down for a little bit and we'll pump out your stomach. Thank you.
Tony Nesbitt, what do you think? Luciano Pavarotti, how old is he today?
[00:23:30] Speaker C: Og, how old is who?
And when you do.
[00:23:40] Speaker B: My mother were alive today, she say, nah, man, you're making a total ass of yourself.
And she'd be right.
[00:23:47] Speaker D: No, you're making millions of people laugh through the night. They're lonely and sad and here you are singing to them.
[00:23:57] Speaker C: You're doing that. Norm, don't you have your hand and you raise it to the rafters of the, of the, the massive theater you'd be performing in. Screaming to the Gods, right?
[00:24:07] Speaker B: Yes, I am.
I very often scream to the gods.
[00:24:11] Speaker C: Do that anyway.
[00:24:12] Speaker B: Yes, I was doing that just about an hour ago.
So you know, Tony, how old you think he. The guy is?
[00:24:23] Speaker C: What did Jack say?
[00:24:24] Speaker B: Jack says 63 or.
How do you say that in Italian? Is that 70?
Must be.
Say. It could be. Yeah, it could be Satante, Satante 3, something like that.
[00:24:52] Speaker C: I don't know.
[00:24:54] Speaker B: I'll learn it eventually. Takes a little war because.
Take this, a new broom because.
Hold on a minute, I got a line coming in on the AP machine. I think Italy just declared war. Declared war. On the United States, takes only on the Alston Brighton area.
[00:25:39] Speaker C: So much for that, Sister. Sister.
[00:25:43] Speaker D: Yeah. Padua has closed its doors to Boston.
[00:25:47] Speaker C: Oh, okay. Luciano Pavarotti.
[00:25:51] Speaker B: I believe that's who we were speaking of. Yes.
[00:25:55] Speaker C: You know something? Yes, I believe he.
64.
Oh, boy.
[00:26:09] Speaker B: Who had ever had the M.
Mack's concession here would clean up and probably would have to.
Joan, what do you think? How old is Luchano Pavarotti?
[00:26:23] Speaker E: I would say 68. 60.
[00:26:25] Speaker B: 68.
Okay. What do you think?
[00:26:28] Speaker C: Wayne, you're all wrong. He's 67.
[00:26:33] Speaker B: Okay.
Esther, I've got a headache.
[00:26:36] Speaker E: You know, Luciano.
Luciano is 61. La, la, la, la, la, la.
[00:26:44] Speaker B: You know something? La la, la, la. You're right on the button. Yes, he is 61.
[00:26:49] Speaker E: All right.
[00:26:49] Speaker B: Yeah, he's 61 years old today.
Okay, now a change of tempo.
[00:26:58] Speaker C: Hello.
[00:26:58] Speaker B: I'm sorry. I turned my microphone off by mistake.
I was so excited about what was going on.
Boy, that is a change. I changed a tempo and a change of, as I said, mood. I bumped into the off button of my. My microphone. Anyway, today's the birthday of Susan Anton.
Oh, it's. It would describe her as an entertainer. She's a dancer. A former Miss California. She starred in the movie Golden Girl and appears on stage in Las Vegas and Atlantic City.
[00:27:31] Speaker D: About 11ft tall.
[00:27:33] Speaker B: She is a tall person. She. Didn't she go with Dudley Moore for a while? And he's about three feet tall?
[00:27:38] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah.
[00:27:39] Speaker D: She kept him a couple of pants for a while.
[00:27:42] Speaker B: She was in the Will Rogers Follies, which did play here. I don't know whether she was in the Boston production of that.
She played that on. On Broadway.
[00:27:52] Speaker D: She played Will Rogers.
[00:27:54] Speaker B: She played Will Rogers?
[00:27:55] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:27:55] Speaker B: In drag.
I'm sorry. I'm thinking of. I'm thinking of J. Edgar Hoover.
No, she. She was in the World Rogers for Broadway and on TV's Baywatch.
Okay. And. And she also did a commercial once for. Was it a mattress?
Mattress company, something of blankets or something to do with beds?
[00:28:18] Speaker D: Susan Anton, wasn't she. Wasn't she the Muriel girl after Edie Adams? Adams.
[00:28:25] Speaker B: I don't know. I remember Edie Adams as the. As the Muriel girl. Muriel Cigars. Yeah.
[00:28:32] Speaker D: I think Susan Anton, after that, did that for a while.
[00:28:37] Speaker B: Wayne, how old do you think Susan Anton is?
[00:28:40] Speaker C: Oh, maybe she'd do a couple of Bob Rope specials too, huh?
[00:28:43] Speaker B: Probably.
Yeah. She'd be the kind of woman he'd have on.
[00:28:47] Speaker C: On one of these.
[00:28:48] Speaker B: I don't mean. Yeah, that sounded like I was. I was insulting Her. I didn't mean that, but I mean, he was, he's always looking for glamor people and exciting women and all that.
[00:28:58] Speaker C: She is the fabulous Brook Shields right here.
[00:29:01] Speaker B: Yeah, Brook Shields is always. He always is on tour with. Have you seen this new show with Brooke Shields, the Brook Shields Show? No, no, I forget what it's called.
[00:29:09] Speaker C: Suddenly.
[00:29:10] Speaker D: Suddenly Susan.
[00:29:11] Speaker B: Suddenly Susan. Yeah, I've seen a couple of episodes.
[00:29:14] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:29:14] Speaker D: And it, I.
[00:29:15] Speaker B: Just to sum it up, I'd, I'd, I'd give it all my hands down.
[00:29:20] Speaker D: She was in a fun movie with George Burns.
[00:29:22] Speaker B: Yes, she was, when she was a younger kid.
No, this, this TV show, it's written, it's really written badly, and it's, it's just not a good show.
[00:29:33] Speaker D: All right?
[00:29:33] Speaker B: You have to last that long, man. I, I keep, I keep figuring it's gonna last. It's got to go off the air within the next three minutes.
It's just not, it's just not a good show anyway. Wayne, how old do you think Susan Anton is?
[00:29:46] Speaker C: Susan Anton is a lovely 42.
[00:29:49] Speaker B: Lovely 42. That's the age and not some other measurement or anything?
[00:29:55] Speaker C: Come on, this is a family show.
[00:29:57] Speaker B: Who said it was her family?
[00:29:59] Speaker D: Family's awake at 3:40 in the morning.
[00:30:00] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right.
Okay, Tony, what do you think?
[00:30:07] Speaker C: Susan Anton.
Her last name is the form of my first name.
[00:30:12] Speaker B: That's right. Anton.
[00:30:13] Speaker C: That's right.
[00:30:14] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:30:15] Speaker C: Now, one of her middle initial is B.
[00:30:18] Speaker B: B as in what?
[00:30:19] Speaker C: Susan B. Anton.
[00:30:23] Speaker B: That's very good, Very good, very good.
[00:30:29] Speaker C: 40.
She's gonna be, she's, she's pushing it now.
45.
[00:30:39] Speaker B: 45.
[00:30:40] Speaker C: I think she might even be older than that, But I'll say 40.
[00:30:43] Speaker B: 45.
[00:30:43] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:30:44] Speaker B: Esther, what do you think?
[00:30:45] Speaker E: I guess 48.
[00:30:48] Speaker B: Esther would guess 48. And what would you guess, Jim?
[00:30:50] Speaker C: Joan.
[00:30:51] Speaker E: 46.
[00:30:52] Speaker B: Joan would say 46.
[00:30:54] Speaker D: And Jack, I'm thinking 47.
[00:30:58] Speaker B: Okay, 46 is correct.
You were all very close. You all did very well. But Joan said it right on the button.
[00:31:06] Speaker E: Oh, whoopee do.
[00:31:09] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:31:10] Speaker B: Chris Wallace, who, of course is Mike Wallace's son and quite a good reporter, as a matter of fact. At first I resented him. I thought, sorry, father's Mike Wallace. That's why he's. But, but he's, he's, he's an excellent reporter and I think he does a good job. And I'm sure he got the job on his own.
[00:31:29] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, right.
[00:31:30] Speaker D: Didn't he and his sister used to have a, A column, a weekly column in the Parade? Magazine or one of them sort of a.
A minutia kind of a deal.
[00:31:41] Speaker C: Little.
[00:31:42] Speaker B: Oh, no, you're. You're thinking of Irving Wallace. Oh, and he's the one who did the book of lists.
[00:31:48] Speaker C: Oh, okay.
[00:31:49] Speaker B: And he has a son. His. His. His real, his real name.
Irving Wallace, the author was. Is Walachensky and his son went back to the original family name and it's. It. And his daughter is also part of that team that put up. Puts out the book of lists. Yes, but this is Chris Wallace, who's, Who's the son of Mike Wallace. And that's not. That was not his birth name either. Wasn't his. His first name. Mike Wallace's first name was Myron, and I've forgotten his last name because he's from Brookline.
Although Chris. Chris was born in, I guess in New York when. When Mike went out that way. But anyway, anyway, Joan, what do you think? How old do you think Chris Wallace is?
[00:32:33] Speaker E: 55.
[00:32:34] Speaker C: 55.
[00:32:35] Speaker B: Because he pinch hits, work on Nightline quite often. Ted Carpel.
Let's see.
Wayne, what do you think?
[00:32:46] Speaker C: 47.
[00:32:47] Speaker B: 47.
[00:32:48] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:32:50] Speaker E: And Esther, I think he hasn't reached the big five zero yet, so I'll say 49.
[00:32:56] Speaker B: 49. Okay.
And Jack?
48. Jack says 40.
[00:33:03] Speaker C: 48.
[00:33:03] Speaker B: And what do you say, Mr. Tony?
[00:33:05] Speaker C: This just in.
He's 48.
[00:33:10] Speaker B: 48. 49 is correct. Yeah, Esther said 49.
[00:33:17] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:33:17] Speaker B: Okay. Okay, Esther. You guys, Tony and Jack were only a year offense and, and the. Wayne was. Was very close too.
[00:33:27] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:33:27] Speaker B: Tony Kubeck, Sportscaster, FORMER Yankee SHORTSTOP I can't, I don't. I can't tell you much more about it than that.
But he, I would have said he played.
Let's see, to give you another clue.
Probably within the past. Probably gave it up within the past 10, 15 years.
Okay. How about. What do you think, Tony?
[00:33:57] Speaker C: That's all you have to give me, huh?
[00:33:58] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't have to really have much more on there.
[00:34:01] Speaker C: I know.
[00:34:01] Speaker B: I'm just. I'm sick about it. I wish I had more. I'm just. I'm just so darn depressed.
[00:34:08] Speaker C: Let's see, you say within 10 or 15 years.
[00:34:11] Speaker B: I would. I would guess by the age he is.
[00:34:14] Speaker C: Oh, let me see. So that brings us to 86 or maybe 81 if you retired.
Retired 13 years ago.
And a good retirement age for ball player would probably be about this much.
[00:34:44] Speaker B: So I'm just passing the time of day while you're guessing.
[00:34:49] Speaker C: 40.
49.
[00:34:54] Speaker B: 49.
[00:34:57] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:34:59] Speaker B: And let me see, Jack, what do you think?
[00:35:04] Speaker D: You say 10 to 15 years ago, he quit being.
[00:35:08] Speaker B: Well, I'm just guessing by. By his. By what his age is now.
[00:35:11] Speaker C: I. I really know what the answer is.
[00:35:13] Speaker E: This.
[00:35:13] Speaker B: Yeah, he may have quit when he was 12, or he may have quit when he was 93.
[00:35:17] Speaker C: I.
[00:35:17] Speaker B: You know, I don't know. So I wouldn't pay any attention to what I'm saying. Oh, I never do either.
[00:35:23] Speaker D: Oh. Well, I know I hear someone talking to me, but I don't know what they're talking about.
[00:35:28] Speaker B: I'll say.
[00:35:29] Speaker C: 51.
[00:35:30] Speaker B: Is that a baby?
[00:35:31] Speaker C: Yes, that's my two year old.
[00:35:33] Speaker B: Oh, is that your baby, Wayne?
[00:35:35] Speaker C: Yeah, that's a.
[00:35:37] Speaker B: Is that a little girl or a boy?
[00:35:39] Speaker C: A boy.
[00:35:39] Speaker B: What's his name?
[00:35:40] Speaker C: His name is Jordan.
[00:35:42] Speaker B: Jordan.
Go to sleep, little Jordan.
The wind is in the crooked trees.
[00:35:50] Speaker C: Oh, come on now.
[00:35:51] Speaker B: And it's. You don't like me singing a lullaby?
[00:35:53] Speaker C: No, what he just told me is. He said, please stop. He'll be good.
Okay.
[00:35:59] Speaker B: Snotty little kid.
I hope he wets all over you.
Jack, did you. Did you make a guess? Yeah. What did you say?
[00:36:10] Speaker D: 51.
[00:36:11] Speaker B: I think you said 51.
[00:36:13] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:36:14] Speaker B: All right. And Joan, what do you say?
[00:36:16] Speaker E: 50.
[00:36:18] Speaker B: Joan says 50.
[00:36:19] Speaker C: And Wayne, Tony Kubeck as a sportscaster means nothing to me. The only Tony Kubrick I know was a bag boy at an AMT 35 years ago. Same guy in Poughkeepsie, New York.
Unfortunately, it's not the same guy.
[00:36:36] Speaker B: But seriously, though, he probably might pronounce it actually Tony Kubeck.
[00:36:42] Speaker C: That changes everything. Thanks.
No, He's. He's actually 51.
[00:36:48] Speaker B: 51. Okay. And what do you think, Esther?
[00:36:51] Speaker E: I'd say he's 50.
[00:36:53] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:36:53] Speaker B: Did you want to ask Jordan?
[00:36:56] Speaker C: Jordan, how old is Tony Kelly? Too bad.
He could kill us.
[00:37:02] Speaker B: Okay, I'll put that down. Could care less.
He's actually 59.
[00:37:07] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. I figured you and your brilliant statement within the last 10 or 15 years.
[00:37:13] Speaker B: Yeah, well, I. I figured I'd be throwing everybody off.
[00:37:17] Speaker C: Yeah, well, you certainly did.
[00:37:18] Speaker B: So Wayne and Jack, actually, they said. Baseball said 51, so they were the closest, although eight years off.
And Esther was very close.
And while you all were. Tony and.
And Joan, all of. All of you were just wonderful. And that's why we're so glad to have you here in New York City.
[00:37:38] Speaker C: Thank me so much.
[00:37:39] Speaker B: Okay. Kirk Cameron.
[00:37:42] Speaker D: Kirk Cameron.
[00:37:44] Speaker C: Geez.
[00:37:44] Speaker B: Do I have anything on Kirk Cameron?
[00:37:46] Speaker D: Oh, was he.
[00:37:46] Speaker B: Oh, I do.
[00:37:47] Speaker D: Show with Alan Thicke.
[00:37:50] Speaker B: Let's see. Here's what it says about Kirk Cameron from Panorama City, New California, actor Mike Seaver on Growing Pains.
Growing.
[00:38:03] Speaker C: Oh, okay.
[00:38:04] Speaker D: He has pulled hamstring.
[00:38:07] Speaker B: His sister Candice appears on Full House.
But he was Mike Seaver on Growing Pains. I hope you do better than what I would do if I were in your position. I never seen either one of these programs.
Growing Pains.
And let's see, we'll start with, let's start with you, Esther. What do you think?
[00:38:30] Speaker E: I think he's a kid at 26.
A babe.
[00:38:33] Speaker B: A babe at 26?
[00:38:35] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:38:36] Speaker B: Okay. Wayne, what do you say?
[00:38:38] Speaker C: Esther, I hate to disagree with you or have to correct you, but he's actually 27. 20. Oh.
[00:38:47] Speaker B: I love that.
[00:38:48] Speaker C: Oh.
[00:38:50] Speaker B: Joan, what do you say?
[00:38:52] Speaker E: 31.
[00:38:53] Speaker B: 31. Okay.
And Tony.
And he gave up pitching about 15 years ago.
[00:39:01] Speaker C: Oh, I'm not gonna go through that again.
[00:39:08] Speaker E: 20.
[00:39:11] Speaker C: Could he be 26? Could it be all growed up now?
[00:39:15] Speaker B: I don't know.
[00:39:15] Speaker C: Yeah, 26.
[00:39:16] Speaker B: I'll go with 26.
Jack.
[00:39:21] Speaker D: Let's see, that show was on for kind of a while. It's been off for a couple of years.
26.
[00:39:30] Speaker B: Yeah, 26 is correct. Hey, so we have three winners there, Esther, Jack and Tony. Let me see how the thing shapes up so far. Esther has three. Three, three correct answers.
Tony and Jack have two correct answers, and Wayne and Joan have one apiece.
And I suppose we should do another one. We do have time for.
Okay, let me see if I can get somebody. Not too many well known people.
[00:40:02] Speaker C: You can tell who else was on.
[00:40:04] Speaker B: There, who else wanted. Okay, you want me to give you names and you can decide who you want to guess.
[00:40:09] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:40:10] Speaker B: You know Sam Moore, the singer of Sam and Dave?
[00:40:13] Speaker D: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:40:14] Speaker B: You do know that. Is that a fair one?
[00:40:16] Speaker C: That would have been better than Tony.
[00:40:18] Speaker B: Kubeck or Adam Rich, who played the youngest of eight children in the 1970s comedy 80s enough.
[00:40:25] Speaker C: Oh, geez.
[00:40:26] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:40:27] Speaker D: And subsequent name is still making those lists.
[00:40:29] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:40:32] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:40:33] Speaker B: In 1983 he was arrested for smoking pot.
And in 1988 he entered the Betty Ford center for substance abuse.
So he's been making news right along that the guy he may want to make. But okay, this is that.
[00:40:50] Speaker C: Okay, okay.
[00:40:51] Speaker B: Or there's, let's see, there's Gene Nidich who founded Weight Watchers.
[00:41:00] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, yeah.
[00:41:01] Speaker B: Somehow I, I, I don't detect a great excitement about that one household name.
[00:41:07] Speaker D: Well, she used to, she actually used to do the commercials for them and, and was in your living room every night.
[00:41:13] Speaker B: Really? Your little, her little shapely body was there showing how you, too, could have a shapely body.
Yeah.
[00:41:21] Speaker D: Zillions of dollars on her Weight Watchers, frozen meals.
[00:41:24] Speaker C: Now get the hell out of my living room.
[00:41:26] Speaker B: Now, which. Which one would you like to guess?
[00:41:29] Speaker C: Oh, Adam Rich, you have any events?
[00:41:33] Speaker B: Pardon me?
[00:41:33] Speaker C: Events.
[00:41:35] Speaker B: You want to. No.
[00:41:36] Speaker C: I don't know, run through a whole module. You know, we got time here to make a decision.
[00:41:39] Speaker B: Okay, I tell you what. Let me give you.
[00:41:42] Speaker C: Maybe I'll give you Sam and Dave and Adam Rich. There seems to be pretty good Sam Moore.
Okay.
You know, he had a brother, Westmore.
[00:41:55] Speaker B: Had a brother named what?
[00:41:56] Speaker C: Westmore.
[00:41:57] Speaker B: Westmore.
No, none of us realize that, unfortunately.
[00:42:07] Speaker C: Okay, we'll do.
[00:42:08] Speaker B: We'll do Sam Moore then, if you'd like.
Sam Moore. Okay.
Jack, what do you think? How old is Sam Moore?
[00:42:16] Speaker D: Sam Moore.
[00:42:17] Speaker B: Sam and Dave, Soul man of 1967 is when he did Soul man and they broke up. Sam and Dave broke up in 1981.
[00:42:30] Speaker D: They were together that long? I thought they broke up not long after their couple of big hits.
So that's 30 years ago. He was a disc jockey before he got into it, so he would have had to have been doing that, at least for a couple of years.
Although he could have been 20 at the time.
[00:42:50] Speaker C: But I think he's older than.
[00:42:51] Speaker D: I'm gonna say he's 57.
[00:42:53] Speaker B: 57 years of age. Oh, yeah. Okay. Tony, what do you think.
[00:43:04] Speaker C: Sam, from Sam and Dave, what was their big hit?
[00:43:10] Speaker B: Sounds like. It sounds like a couple of delicatessen owners, hasn't it?
[00:43:15] Speaker D: Sam and Dave's Deli.
[00:43:16] Speaker C: Frankie and Johnny. Sam and Dave.
[00:43:18] Speaker B: Sam and Dave.
[00:43:19] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:43:21] Speaker B: We make very good hot bastrami. And we don't hold back on the mustard. It's a good quality mustard.
Good salmon Daves.
[00:43:30] Speaker D: And we'll make the corned beef lean to the left or to the right.
[00:43:32] Speaker C: Either way, he's 50.
He's 60.
[00:43:40] Speaker B: 60.
[00:43:41] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:43:43] Speaker B: What do you think, Joan?
[00:43:44] Speaker E: 54.
[00:43:46] Speaker B: Joan says 54. What do you say, Wayne?
[00:43:49] Speaker C: Sam is 64.
[00:43:51] Speaker B: 64.
We make it with Grand Poupon.
As a matter of fact, I have some here in my glove compartment.
Esther said that. That I got. That happened to me on the. Coming in on the Tobin Bridge tonight. This past night, I.
There was a big one of those stretch limousines that pulled up in front of one of the toll takers on the bridge.
And a guy came over to me from that. He stopped the car there. Everybody was really unhappy. They were trying to get into Boston. And he came over and said, excuse me, do you have any Grand Poupon Great.
[00:44:30] Speaker C: Great.
[00:44:31] Speaker B: I never. I think I. I think I'm. I've used that for the last time this year anyway.
[00:44:37] Speaker C: Well, did you have any.
[00:44:40] Speaker B: No, I always comes over and asks you the question. No, no, I did.
[00:44:43] Speaker C: The mystery.
[00:44:44] Speaker B: No, no, I did. I had. So I always carry grand poupon in my glove.
[00:44:47] Speaker C: Great. Poupon. Oh, good.
[00:44:49] Speaker B: Grateful. No, I had grand poopon.
[00:44:51] Speaker D: He had a big jar.
[00:44:52] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah.
No wonder he was unhappy.
Salmon Sam Moore. What do you think, Esther?
[00:45:05] Speaker E: The double nickel five.
[00:45:06] Speaker B: Five.
The double nickel five. Five. We got a bunch of disc jockeys here today.
Okay. He's actually 61.
[00:45:15] Speaker C: Wow.
[00:45:17] Speaker B: I believe that Tony got that. He said 60.
Yeah, Tony got that. So Tony is now tied. Tied with who else? Did I say I had three? Was Esther.
You, You, You, Esther. Yes. Let's do one more.
[00:45:32] Speaker C: Adam Rich, then.
[00:45:33] Speaker B: Adam Rich, then. Okay, to break the tie. Let's see what I can tell. Well, I guess I told you about. He played the youngest of eight children in the 1970s comedy Eight is Enough. In 83, arrested for smoking pot. In 1988, entered the Betty Ford center for Substance abuse.
[00:45:52] Speaker C: So what? Eight is Enough was early 70s. I thought that ran throughout.
[00:45:56] Speaker B: Well, it said on the 70s comedy. It could have run the whole 70s just as the 70s. Yeah.
[00:46:02] Speaker D: I think I ran into, like, the 78.
[00:46:04] Speaker C: 79.
[00:46:05] Speaker D: Like 79. I think it might have gone off the air in 80 or actually ran for eight years, which kind of surprised me at one point.
[00:46:13] Speaker C: I'm still surprised.
[00:46:15] Speaker B: Eight Is Enough. Who was in there? Was that. Is that Van Patten?
[00:46:18] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:46:18] Speaker D: Yes, it is.
[00:46:19] Speaker B: Dick Van Pat.
[00:46:20] Speaker D: Oh, Dick Van Patten.
[00:46:21] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:46:21] Speaker D: And the first died. No, she was in family.
[00:46:26] Speaker C: Oh, that's right. I'm sorry.
[00:46:27] Speaker B: Yeah.
Okay, let's start with you, Wayne. What do you think? Adam rich?
[00:46:33] Speaker C: Adam is 30.
[00:46:35] Speaker B: Adam is 30. Okay.
[00:46:38] Speaker C: Joan 38.
[00:46:41] Speaker B: And Esther 35.
Okay.
[00:46:45] Speaker C: Tony, I'm still trying to figure this out. Hang on.
Okay, so he played the youngest in Eight Is Enough.
So let's say.
[00:46:52] Speaker B: Yeah, the youngest. Youngest of eight.
[00:46:56] Speaker C: By the time he was smoking pot, he probably was.
What did he do?
[00:47:02] Speaker B: Community service.
[00:47:03] Speaker C: What'd you say? Did he do Hard Times?
[00:47:06] Speaker B: Doesn't say. It just said he entered the Betty Ford center for Substance.
[00:47:09] Speaker C: That was in 88. But when in 80.
[00:47:11] Speaker B: In 83. What think.
[00:47:12] Speaker C: Do you.
[00:47:12] Speaker B: Arrested for smoking pot?
[00:47:13] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:47:14] Speaker B: No, they.
They put him in a small airless room and then forced him to listen to Jerry Vale records.
[00:47:24] Speaker C: No wonder he had the Betty ford back in 88. That's right.
[00:47:26] Speaker B: Yeah. He had the Betty Ford he wanted and it right then. But they said you wait until we play his entire repertoire.
[00:47:33] Speaker C: Fella.
No one know. We haven't heard from him since. He's probably still at the Betty for clinic.
[00:47:39] Speaker D: Hey, I have some Jerry Vale records.
[00:47:41] Speaker B: Oh, I don't believe that. I do. Do you? Why? Why?
[00:47:46] Speaker D: It's good singing.
[00:47:53] Speaker B: Oh, help me, dad, wherever you are.
[00:47:58] Speaker C: Okay, Adam Rich is.
I think he's probably. Ah, geez, let me. 6:15 and five years later makes him 21.
And now it makes him 30. Yeah, he's 31. 31.
[00:48:21] Speaker B: 31.
[00:48:22] Speaker C: 31.
[00:48:22] Speaker B: 31.
Okay. What do you think, Jack?
[00:48:27] Speaker D: He was just young sprout when he started.
I'll say he's 20. 28.
[00:48:35] Speaker B: 28 is exactly right.
So you've got three, Esther has three, and Tony has three.
[00:48:43] Speaker D: Wow.
[00:48:44] Speaker B: So it's a three way tie and just. And we don't have time for another round because it's coming up to 58.
[00:48:51] Speaker C: So Esther wins.
[00:48:52] Speaker B: Esther wins. Esther wins the prize. Yes. All right, if you'll hold on, you'll talk to the lovely Tom Howey. And don't pay any attention to what he says. He'll try to get a date with you, everybody.
[00:49:04] Speaker C: That was a great conversation both of you had.
Oh, with Robert on the way home. Yes. Well, yeah, it was very phony.
[00:49:13] Speaker B: Funny was a phony. You feel he's a phony man.
[00:49:16] Speaker C: Jack didn't hear him do his impression of Jack though, did he?
[00:49:19] Speaker D: Someone called, matter of fact, and I was in the middle. On Fridays I record the commercials and such. And unfortunately someone called and I. And I jumped on just after he was done.
[00:49:29] Speaker B: It sounded if. If I. If you could close your eyes, you'd swear it was you. Is that right?
At a drunken New Year's Eve party or something.
Anyway, Joan, thank you very much for being part of all of this.
[00:49:43] Speaker C: Thank you.
[00:49:44] Speaker E: I enjoyed myself.
[00:49:45] Speaker B: Well, we enjoyed having you. Thank you very much. And thank you also Tony and Jack. Oh, thank you to have you both on the same program at the same time. You know what this means to me in my career. It's skyrocketing.
[00:50:00] Speaker C: Don't forget it on the way up.
[00:50:02] Speaker B: Okay, thank you both you guys.
[00:50:04] Speaker C: Good.
[00:50:05] Speaker B: It's good to talk with you both. Bye bye. Okay.
[00:50:07] Speaker A: Norm was in great spirits here. Hard to believe he would be gone a little more than two weeks later. Granted, there are some episodes from October 1996 where you can hear his frustration with the new WBZ studios. We as producers shared in those feelings. They were not ready for prime time. But the only way to get them up to speed was to broadcast, troubleshoot, learn and figure it out.
Oh, hang on. I'm getting a news bullet in this. Just in.
