Birthday game.
You don't need skill. You don't have to be a brain. You just call Norm to play the dumb birthday game. Play the dumb, dumb birthday game.
[00:01:13] Speaker C: Okay. We discuss who was born on this date. And you tell me how old you think that person is. And person who comes closest to the greater number of correct answers is the winner and gets a. Some kind of a tacky prize. Is that fair enough? And is that exciting enough or not? Let's see who's playing the game with us. We have Kathryn, who's down in the town of Randolph. Hello, Katherine.
[00:01:38] Speaker B: Hi, Norm. How are ya?
[00:01:41] Speaker C: How are ya? How you doing there, Katherine? I'm awful. Good.

[00:02:13] Speaker B: How are you?
[00:02:14] Speaker C: I'm okay.
You sound like.
I feel like a student talking to you. Like I'm going to school for the first day and you're the teacher, ready to prep us all.
[00:02:25] Speaker B: Well, you sit down and do a good job.
[00:02:27] Speaker C: I will do a very fine job. Because I don't want to get thrown out of your class.
[00:02:32] Speaker B: Oh, by the way, Mr. Boynton. Was his name Boynton?
[00:02:36] Speaker C: That's right. Boynton. That's right.
What do you do, Dick?
[00:02:40] Speaker B: I'm in the insurance business, okay?
[00:02:42] Speaker C: Okay.

[00:02:59] Speaker C: I think that's very, very nice. No, no, I'm just. That's you. You call me Uncle Cecil.
So I was responding in the same kind of way.
[00:03:08] Speaker B: Very good.
[00:03:09] Speaker C: That's good. Can you hear us okay out in Cincinnati?
[00:03:12] Speaker B: Fine, fine.

Okay. We also have.
[00:03:19] Speaker B: Oh, do we?
[00:03:20] Speaker C: Is this Tony. Nez. But we have with us before me.
[00:03:23] Speaker B: Is it hot enough for you?
[00:03:25] Speaker C: Is it hot enough. No, it's not hot enough until.
Until sweat comes out of my nostrils.
[00:03:31] Speaker B: You know what I like to say? Yeah, it's. No, no, it isn't hot. Oh, you gotta ask me. You have to ask. How hot is it?
[00:03:36] Speaker C: Okay.
Oh, Tony.
[00:03:38] Speaker B: Yes, Norm?
[00:03:39] Speaker C: How hot is it? Hot enough for you, fella?
[00:03:43] Speaker B: Take two. Take two. We'll try it.
[00:03:45] Speaker C: Okay. We'll try it again. Okay. Okay. Oh, Tony.
[00:03:48] Speaker B: Yes, Norm?
[00:03:49] Speaker C: Is it hot enough, you know, for you?
[00:03:52] Speaker B: No. No, it isn't, Norm. I like it just a little bit hotter so when I walk down the street, I can make my own gravy.
[00:04:00] Speaker C: You know how hot it is.
[00:04:02] Speaker B: How hot is it?
[00:04:03] Speaker C: Just a moment ago, I saw a cat, a dog, rather, chasing a cat. Yeah. And they were both just walking so slowly.
You know how hot it is?
[00:04:14] Speaker B: How hot is it?
[00:04:15] Speaker C: Oh, I saw a cat chasing a mouse and they were walking ever so slowly.
Hey, let's bring Tony, and I mean, not Jack on in on this because.
Because he probably's got some good lines, too. Hot. Yo, Jack. Yes, what?
How hot is it out where you are?
[00:04:39] Speaker D: It is so hot, a mosquito just sat on my arm and looked at me.
You know, it ain't so much the heat. It.
It's the humidity.
[00:04:53] Speaker C: Wait a minute, hold on.
[00:04:54] Speaker B: I'm gonna write that one down.
[00:04:55] Speaker C: That's a good one. It's not the heat.
[00:04:57] Speaker B: That's a good one. You know how hot it is?
[00:04:59] Speaker C: How hot is it?
[00:05:00] Speaker B: My sweat is sweating.
[00:05:02] Speaker C: Oh, my sweat is sweating. That's so wonderful. It's so sickening.
As a matter of fact, it's so hot that.
See if you can tie this in.
The secretarial pool has nothing to do with people.
Just. Well, never mind.
[00:05:22] Speaker D: It's so hot, I had to put my coffee in the oven just to bring the temperature down.
[00:05:31] Speaker C: Oh, that's okay. We all say with this Hope Shower, probably. Is it hot enough for you, Hope Shower producer person.
[00:05:37] Speaker E: It's. It's definitely hot enough for me.
[00:05:40] Speaker C: I'm.
[00:05:40] Speaker E: I'm a cold weather person.
Definitely.
[00:05:43] Speaker C: That wasn't too terribly funny, was it?
[00:05:45] Speaker B: No, no.
[00:05:46] Speaker E: I'm sorry, you guys. I'm a straight person.
[00:05:49] Speaker C: That really. That really sucked, didn't it?
That was really rotten.
[00:05:53] Speaker B: Sounds like Hope's voice is wilting, you know.
Definitely.
[00:05:57] Speaker C: Okay.
Anyway, let's play the dumb breathing because that. I was going to say that cools you off. It doesn't do any such thing.
I sometimes we used to. As disc jock when I was a disc jockey way back in the. My other life. We used to.
[00:06:11] Speaker B: Remember that.
[00:06:11] Speaker C: Remember that?
[00:06:12] Speaker B: That's when you used to play the old Edison cylinders, right?
[00:06:15] Speaker C: That's right. Yeah.
[00:06:16] Speaker D: We used to turn rocks.
[00:06:17] Speaker C: You know, all day long I jump and run about. You can always hear me shouting out.
Yeah, I used to do that. We would say things like perhaps some pleasant music will help cool us off. Which was really so much stupid. Nothing's going to cool you off, Johnny.
[00:06:33] Speaker D: Wasn't that song. I'm comfortable now.
[00:06:36] Speaker C: Okay, I'm sorry, who do we interrupt?
[00:06:38] Speaker B: I'm sorry, Dick.
[00:06:40] Speaker C: Oh, Dick was saying something.
[00:06:41] Speaker B: Yeah, I said Johnny. Johnny from Philip Morris was a person.
[00:06:45] Speaker C: No, I know he's a person, but. And maybe that was. Was that his real name?
[00:06:49] Speaker B: Yeah, he was a midget, I think. Or a little man.
[00:06:52] Speaker C: He was a little man, yes. He was a short person.
[00:06:55] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:06:55] Speaker C: No, no, but I.
[00:06:56] Speaker B: He was vertically challenged.
[00:06:58] Speaker C: That's right.
[00:06:58] Speaker B: He was one of the weak folk.
[00:07:01] Speaker D: Say, was the. The woman who played the operator, was that Bea Benedirat?
[00:07:07] Speaker C: Now I don't know whether she was.
She was. She. She might very well have been. I'm thinking of Brenda and Kobina who were a pair of funny voiced people who were on the Bob Hope show. And I didn't know whether B. Benedarrett was on that show or the Jack Benny Show.
[00:07:24] Speaker B: The Jack Benny Show.
[00:07:25] Speaker C: Jack Benny Show. Okay. B. Benedarit was one of them. The operator.
[00:07:29] Speaker B: Oh, just one additional thing. Those little hoodsy cup covers came in blue and white and sepia tone.
[00:07:35] Speaker C: Oh really? I mean the pictures were blue or. Or sepia. How could they be white?
[00:07:40] Speaker B: Well, blue.
[00:07:42] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:07:43] Speaker B: If they were all blue you couldn't see the face. So that had to be blue. And sepia tone.
[00:07:49] Speaker C: Sepia tone was brown.
[00:07:50] Speaker B: That's right. Okay, on with the show.
[00:07:54] Speaker D: The little wooden spoons came in an elastic in the ice chest with them.
[00:08:00] Speaker C: Oh, the little wooden spoons.
[00:08:02] Speaker D: But you know, the thing of it is, a hood seed does not taste the same if it's not eaten with a wooden stick.
[00:08:08] Speaker C: I know that as a matter of fact, We.
You know what we do at our house? We eat everything with wooden spoons. Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
Hot Yankee pot roast.
Little wooden spoon.
[00:08:23] Speaker B: New York sirloin. Wooden spoon. Spoon. Yeah.
[00:08:31] Speaker C: Was there a joke? Was there.
[00:08:33] Speaker B: Hello?
[00:08:33] Speaker C: Was there a joke that I missed somewhere?
[00:08:35] Speaker B: No, no. You said. Yeah, you eat everything with Yankee pot roast. You eat with a spoon. I said, New York sirloin, you eat with a spoon.
[00:08:41] Speaker C: That's right, too. That's right.
[00:08:42] Speaker D: A wooden spoon.
[00:08:43] Speaker C: That's right, too. I once went out with a girl, but I only took her out once because she wouldn't spoon.
Okay, Today is the birthday of, if I may change the subject quickly, Alex.
[00:08:59] Speaker E: Karras, Mr. Lazy Boy.
[00:09:02] Speaker C: Okay. Alex Karras, football star, actor from Gary, Indiana, in the TV series Webster with his wife, Susan Clark. He did the La Z Boy TV commercials. That is correct. Alex Karras, how old would you expect he would be? Oh, today, incidentally, is St. Swithin's Day.
St. Swithin's Day. What's the history of St. Swithin's Day?
[00:09:28] Speaker D: It's also Bastille. Oh, yesterday was Bastille day.
[00:09:30] Speaker C: Yesterday was July 14th. Let's see.
[00:09:33] Speaker B: That's the one with the blessed candles.
That swizzens.
Oh, the. With the.
The throat. Yeah.
[00:09:44] Speaker C: I don't have any idea. I know it's Saint Swithin's Day and.
[00:09:47] Speaker B: I wasn't in the throat.
[00:09:49] Speaker C: I don't know. Catherine from Randolph.
[00:09:51] Speaker B: Hello. Hi.
[00:09:53] Speaker C: Hi, Catherine, how old do you think Alex Karras is today?
[00:09:57] Speaker B: I think probably around 65.
[00:09:59] Speaker C: Around 65.
Okay. Dick, what do you think?
[00:10:02] Speaker B: Oh, I'd say about 54.
[00:10:05] Speaker C: 54. Bill.
[00:10:07] Speaker B: I would say 51.
[00:10:09] Speaker C: Bill would say 51.
And hope. What do you think?
[00:10:14] Speaker E: 56.
[00:10:16] Speaker C: I beg it, boys. You say. Did you say it into the microphone?
[00:10:19] Speaker E: 56.
[00:10:19] Speaker C: Oh, 56. Okay. And Jack.
53. Jack says 53.
And Tony says.
[00:10:27] Speaker B: When did he play football?
[00:10:29] Speaker C: He played football when he was a much younger man.
[00:10:31] Speaker B: Okay, don't tell me anymore.
[00:10:33] Speaker C: No, no, that should be enough for you.
[00:10:35] Speaker D: Usually in the afternoon, you know, sometimes.
[00:10:38] Speaker C: He played me in the afternoon. That's quite true. That's usually on a Sunday.
[00:10:41] Speaker B: And if mom let him, maybe even Monday night.
50.
Oh, I don't know. 52.
[00:10:50] Speaker C: 52. Okay. Alex Karras actually today is 60. 60 years old.
[00:10:57] Speaker B: I didn't know.
[00:10:57] Speaker C: He's an old poop.
[00:10:58] Speaker D: How old is Webster? Like 45.
The kid.
[00:11:03] Speaker B: I always wanted to punt him through the upright.
[00:11:07] Speaker C: I always wanted to.
[00:11:09] Speaker B: Someone to hold him and I wanted to punt him through the upright, you guys.
[00:11:11] Speaker D: He was like 33 when he was.
[00:11:13] Speaker C: I haven't. You know, I don't think I ever saw that show. I remember him, you know, while I'm changing channels, Gary Coleman, I don't mind.
[00:11:20] Speaker B: Webster, on the other hand, that guy.
[00:11:22] Speaker C: Oh, awful guy.
[00:11:23] Speaker B: Webster's exactly the same size today as he was then. I was trying to gauge Alex from that movie. Blazing Saddles.
That horse out.
[00:11:34] Speaker C: That's right, too. Was he in that?
[00:11:36] Speaker B: He knocked the horse out. Blazing Saddle.
[00:11:38] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. Okay.
Anyway, Hope came the closest. She said 56, so she was four years off, and that's about it. Kathryn came second. Close.
She said 65.
Anyway, so hope wins the first round as we go to Linda Ronstadt.
Linda Ronstadt. Let me see what I can tell you about Linda. Would help. She's born in Tucson, Arizona. She started the Stone Ponies in Los Angeles when she was 18 years old.
They had to hit different drums in 1967.
Her biggest single, you're no Good, in 1974.
She was in the Pirates of Penzance, the operetta at the Uris Theater in New York City in 1980.
And also the film in 1983. And of course, more recently in the past few years, recorded some albums with Nelson Riddle's band, Pop. Some pop things a la Sinatra, kind of. Well, I say that because Nelson Riddle did a lot of the arrangements for Sinatra. That's Linda Ronstadt.
She was great, I thought, in the Pirates of Penzance. She was.
The guy in that had been a rock performer too, wasn't it?
[00:12:59] Speaker B: Was it Leif Garrett?
[00:13:01] Speaker C: No. Well, it might have been for a while, but the one in the movie.
[00:13:05] Speaker B: Yeah, it was.
[00:13:05] Speaker C: The other guy was not. It was.
[00:13:07] Speaker B: He was a blonde haired guy.
[00:13:09] Speaker C: Yes, yes.
I can't think of his name either. Son of a gun.
[00:13:14] Speaker D: Was it Peter Noon?
[00:13:16] Speaker C: Yes. Yes, it was.
Yes, it was. Yes, it was. That's who it was.
And he was. He was with Linda Ronstadt in the movie.
I saw the Pirates of Penzance in Boston, live performance. And the actor in that, playing that role was Jim Belushi.
[00:13:36] Speaker B: No.
[00:13:37] Speaker C: Yes, yes, yes. And he was excellent. He was really very funny.
Yeah, I've seen that. Because theater.
Well, this was the theater. Theater is my blood and soul.
It's my reason for being is the theatre. That's right. With no theater, I would shrivel up and die.
[00:13:59] Speaker E: That's because you have a soul.
[00:14:00] Speaker C: Shut up.
[00:14:03] Speaker E: Soul of a thespian.
[00:14:06] Speaker C: Did you hear that? Did you hear what she said?
Okay, Tony, what do you think Linda Ronstadt.
[00:14:16] Speaker B: She'S either this or she's that.
[00:14:19] Speaker C: Okay, Shall I put down this or that?
The other.
[00:14:26] Speaker B: Well, why don't you put down this?
[00:14:28] Speaker C: I'll put down this and that.
[00:14:30] Speaker D: Can you say that on the radio?
[00:14:32] Speaker C: What do you say? 46.
[00:14:33] Speaker B: I say 46.
[00:14:34] Speaker C: 46.
[00:14:35] Speaker B: I have a feeling it might be that, though.
[00:14:37] Speaker C: Okay, well, the 40. That. This is a 46.
That's what I said. That. That is. Yeah, that. Well, that. That is about 82.
So I think it was a safe guess that you made. And I'm going to ask the same question.
[00:14:50] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:14:51] Speaker C: Until we get a correct answer.
The next question I will ask. That question, I will ask of Jack Hart.
[00:14:58] Speaker D: And what is the question? Oh, Linda Ronstadt's age.
[00:15:02] Speaker B: So you're telling me my answer is incorrect. You said you would continue to ask the question until you get a correct answer.
[00:15:08] Speaker C: I did say that, and I. There was a bad choice of words.
The correct the question, by the way, and I'm going to rephrase it for Jim.
[00:15:15] Speaker B: You're telling me I want to change my answer then, as you tell me I'm wrong.
[00:15:18] Speaker C: No, I, I didn't say that at all.
[00:15:20] Speaker B: No, I was.
[00:15:22] Speaker C: No, I was going to ask Jack a different question. I was going to ask Jack.
Jack, if a train left Boston at six o' clock on a Saturday morning, traveling at 200,000 miles an hour, and another train left San Francisco at the same time, which would be 3:00am their time, 6:00 our time, traveling at the same speed, when would it get to Fond du Lac?
[00:15:52] Speaker D: The bus driver.
[00:15:53] Speaker C: The bus driver is correct. Okay, that's part one of your questions. The second part of your question is how old is Linda Ronstadt today?
[00:16:02] Speaker D: The bus driver.
[00:16:05] Speaker C: That's right. Linda Ronstadt is the bus driver.
[00:16:08] Speaker B: Correct.
Sequel to the Taxi Driver.
[00:16:11] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:16:15] Speaker B: Are you talking to me?
[00:16:17] Speaker C: Yeah. As a matter of fact, the movie, as I recall, they made that into a movie when she was the bus driver. And if the bus Traveled less than 60 miles an hour, it would disintegrate into a chocolate fudge soda.
So you got to keep moving fast.
[00:16:33] Speaker D: But it's funny, the ice cream with a wooden spoon.
[00:16:38] Speaker C: Yeah, that's right.
[00:16:42] Speaker B: Melt turns into a giant pussycat.
Not pay good money to see a movie like that. I'd pay good money to see the three universes.
[00:16:58] Speaker D: Let's see.
[00:16:59] Speaker C: Show me a man.
Show me a man who drives carefully, whether he's driving a bus, a van or a sedan, and I'll show you sedan.
I'll show you a handful of peanuts.
Well, that was stupid.
[00:17:20] Speaker B: You really ruined that. You were going someplace with that big guy.
[00:17:23] Speaker C: No, that kind of ended nowhere.
[00:17:24] Speaker D: I'll show you a man who will pay the.
[00:17:27] Speaker C: Yeah, I was going to say apricot pits, but I use that in another context.
[00:17:32] Speaker E: And I was waiting at the bus stop for it, too.
[00:17:35] Speaker C: Okay. Jack Hart, how old is Linda Ronstadt?
[00:17:39] Speaker D: I'll say she is just 50.
Just 50 and living in the USA.
[00:17:48] Speaker C: God, to be 50 again and living in the USA.
[00:17:52] Speaker B: Yeah. Where were you when you were 50? Because obviously you weren't living in the USA.
[00:17:56] Speaker C: No, I wasn't. I was living with my folks in Antwerp, Belgium. My father, as you know, was head of. He was the CEO of a large wooden spoon company.
[00:18:07] Speaker B: No, they made wooden spoons.
[00:18:08] Speaker C: No, no, that's my mother you're thinking of.
[00:18:10] Speaker B: Oh, I'm sorry. No.
[00:18:11] Speaker C: He was head of a copper consortium and she was a beautiful Italian princess who collected wooden spoons.
[00:18:20] Speaker B: Collected wooden.
[00:18:23] Speaker C: And he loved Hoodsies. And that's how they met.
[00:18:25] Speaker B: Yeah. She was much younger than he was.
[00:18:27] Speaker C: That's right.
[00:18:28] Speaker D: They both reached for a wooden spoon at the same time.
[00:18:31] Speaker C: That's right. Their eyes met and she had the largest collection of Tyrone Power covers from Hoodsies.
[00:18:38] Speaker B: And he said in sepia tone.
[00:18:40] Speaker C: Yeah, he said, vous ette my thumb.
Which is kind of strange because he was an American and of Jewish background.
[00:18:50] Speaker D: But it's Bastille Day.
[00:18:53] Speaker C: Yeah, that's right. It was Bastille Day. That's right.
Anyway, Hope, how old you think Linda Ronstadt is?
[00:18:59] Speaker B: I've heard inane conversations before, but this is one of the best ones yet.
[00:19:06] Speaker C: Ah, this conversation with milk or cream and some kind of fruit would be the conversation.
That's right. The conversation of champions.
[00:19:16] Speaker E: I just want to say something about wooden spoons. The Norwegian. Norwegian males used to carve wooden spoons for their. For their loves to be. So that's where we get the whole fetish with wooden spoons tonight.
[00:19:30] Speaker B: Is that right?
[00:19:32] Speaker C: None of us knew that. That's really interesting.
[00:19:34] Speaker E: I knew you were. She's 43 and she's a bus driver from. From Tijuana.
[00:19:40] Speaker C: Be quiet. Would you just be quiet? Leave the humor to us. If you would, please, we'd appreciate it.
[00:19:44] Speaker B: Please talk to the professionals.
[00:19:46] Speaker C: That's right. We're professional humorists.
We're the professional. We're professional rib ticklers.
Look us. Look us under in the Yellow Pages under RIP Ticklers.
[00:19:59] Speaker E: Let me just go put on my mascara and I'll be quiet.
[00:20:01] Speaker B: We're listed under chiropractors Bill.
[00:20:04] Speaker C: From what Bill out there in Cincinnati. Linda Ronstadt. And we understand that you're.
No, I was going to say you're in Central time. You're not. You're in Eastern time out there, aren't you? Yeah, same time as us. So I was going to give you a year leeway on her age because. But actually you're in the same time zone.
What the hell am I talking about?
No idea.
How old did you say, Bill?
[00:20:33] Speaker B: 47.
[00:20:35] Speaker C: Say that again.
[00:20:36] Speaker B: 47.
[00:20:37] Speaker C: He did say that, isn't he? Now that's diction that we could all learn from.
[00:20:41] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:20:46] Speaker C: 47, Dick, what do you think?
[00:20:50] Speaker B: 53.
[00:20:52] Speaker C: 53. That was good diction, too. That was nice.
[00:20:54] Speaker B: Yeah, that's my name.
[00:20:58] Speaker D: We have an eloquent panel.
[00:21:00] Speaker B: Your last name is Shun.
[00:21:04] Speaker C: That's right, Dick Shun.
[00:21:05] Speaker B: That's right, Dick.
[00:21:12] Speaker C: Probably. Probably when they were still in the old country, it was Dick Shoneri. But they shook.
They Anglicized it.
Catherine. Oh, oh, Catherine, I wonder if you could tell us how old you think, you know, Linda Ronstadt is.
[00:21:39] Speaker B: Oh, I think she's probably about 48.
[00:21:42] Speaker C: Around 48.
[00:21:43] Speaker B: No, 40. 48.
[00:21:45] Speaker C: 48. 40. 48, you know.
[00:21:47] Speaker D: Okay, I understand that they considered him the sorest man in the neighborhood.
[00:21:54] Speaker C: I'm sorry, they considered him what?
[00:21:55] Speaker D: The Soros man in the neighborhood.
[00:21:58] Speaker C: Oh, like from thesaurus.
[00:22:00] Speaker B: Why was he thesaurus?
[00:22:04] Speaker C: And who are you talking about is the sorest man in the neighborhood? I don't know.
[00:22:07] Speaker D: The dictionary there.
[00:22:09] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:22:09] Speaker C: Oh, oh, we're back to that. I see, I see.
See, we're already on to Catherine after that we dumped Dick and going on. But you must thought. Thought about that and thought that was.
Yeah, he's so hilarious. He thought it was so hilarious he wanted to bring it back.
Okay, Linda RONSTADT actually is 49.
[00:22:31] Speaker B: What?
[00:22:32] Speaker C: I'm sorry, did I insult you?
She's 49 years old today. So Catherine said 48 and Jack said 50.
So those are the two winners for this round, the way I look at it.
[00:22:49] Speaker D: But if you look at it like this, then it's.
[00:22:51] Speaker C: Then. Then the winner is Bill and Tony and Hope with a tie.
Jan Michael Vincent.
Didn't he just. He was just in the news. He's beating up his wife and all that kind of. Yeah. Sounds like an awful person.
[00:23:06] Speaker B: He's a rotter.
[00:23:07] Speaker C: He sounds just terrible.
[00:23:09] Speaker B: But when those charges dismissed or dropped her.
[00:23:13] Speaker C: No, I think he admitted to them. Maybe she dropped him, but he was. I remember seeing on television while he sat There kind of admitting that. I think he said.
[00:23:24] Speaker B: I think he said he used to beat her before, but he had gone over.
[00:23:26] Speaker E: Well, he wants her back. And she says, no, you're a loser. Get away from me.
[00:23:31] Speaker C: He was in the TV series Airwolf. Airwolf, that's right. And the miniseries named Winds of War.
He's been in a number of movies, none of them very memorable.
[00:23:43] Speaker D: He was also in a variety of Disney movies. I think he was like the world's fastest man or something like that. Or the world's fastest college student.
[00:23:53] Speaker C: The world's fastest college student?
[00:23:55] Speaker D: Yeah, this kind of thing.
[00:23:56] Speaker B: That darned college student. Yeah, that whole series. That darn dog. That darned.
[00:24:01] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:24:02] Speaker B: How old was that? Did you say that that was.
[00:24:06] Speaker C: I said she was 49.
[00:24:07] Speaker B: 40, okay.
[00:24:09] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. So 48 and 50. We had two that were just a year off either side. Okay, would be the two winners.
[00:24:17] Speaker B: Is Michael his part of his first name? Middle name?
[00:24:21] Speaker C: It's a hyphenated Jan. Michael.
[00:24:23] Speaker B: Oh, it is.
[00:24:24] Speaker C: Is a hyphenated name. And his last name is Vincent. So if you were to look him up. Look up V for Vincent.
[00:24:31] Speaker B: He has three first names.
[00:24:33] Speaker C: In a way he does. Yeah.
[00:24:35] Speaker D: Because he had a big family and his mother could never get the name straight.
[00:24:38] Speaker C: Jan. Michael Vincent. Get over here. Do whatever you want.
[00:24:44] Speaker B: So why did it stick with him though, Jack? Huh?
Come on.
[00:24:48] Speaker D: Well, because he always tried to, you see, you get into his mother's good graces. So he always showed up first.
So the name kind of stuck, you see.
Yeah, that's a historical name.
[00:24:59] Speaker B: Sorry I asked.
[00:25:00] Speaker C: Okay, Bill. Bill, out there in Cincinnati, how old do you think Jan Vincent, Michael or Michael Vincent is? Let's see, whatever the heck his name.
[00:25:09] Speaker B: Is, I would guess him to be.
I'll try 46.
[00:25:20] Speaker C: 46. Okay. And Dick, what do you think?
[00:25:26] Speaker B: Let me think about that.
[00:25:28] Speaker C: Okay.
What's that?
I thought we. You. I thought you were going to take a little time and I.
[00:25:37] Speaker B: No, I'll give you a guess of about 50. He's got a very old looking face. Yes, he does.
Well, he's sort of pasty face now.
I'd say 55.
[00:25:48] Speaker C: 55. Okay.
[00:25:49] Speaker D: Jack, what do you say he is a pasty face.
[00:25:54] Speaker C: 51.
A pasty faced. 51.
Nobody more pasty faced than any guy. 51.
Yeah.
Yes, sir. Sheldon Moskowitz, who I grew up with.
[00:26:07] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:26:08] Speaker C: When he was 51, he was pasty faced. I think that's it. I think that's the pasty faced era. Yeah, I think when you hit 51, that automatically happens.
[00:26:17] Speaker B: Yeah. That's about the year when the pasties start getting the effect. Yeah. Oh, yeah, my chest got tasty. Chest. It is 51.
[00:26:25] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:26:25] Speaker D: I would think that 53 is gossamer skin.
[00:26:31] Speaker C: Try to trip. Trip to the moon on gossamer skin.
Yeah, I would think Bill probably can.
[00:26:39] Speaker B: Can, can probably.
[00:26:47] Speaker C: Well, it's just one of those things that's the way life is anyway. But Bill, out of Cincinnati, do you find that Cincinnatians, Ohioans out where you are right there on the Ohio river, do you find that people get pasty faced when they get about 51 out there too, or is that just a New England trait?
[00:27:04] Speaker B: They're pasty faced when they're born.
[00:27:10] Speaker C: As they get older. Wow. I see. Wow.
[00:27:13] Speaker B: They get panty wasted.
[00:27:17] Speaker C: Bill, you are a bitter person, and we don't care to hear any more about that. If you don't, if you don't mind Cincinnati. Oh, geez.
Okay, Hope. How old you think pasty face Jan Michael Vincent is?
[00:27:32] Speaker E: Anyway, all I can say is I had the biggest crush on this man and now he really looks pathetic. I'm sorry, but I had to say.
[00:27:40] Speaker B: Do you still have that chiseled body though, the last time? No, that's pasty. I didn't check.
[00:27:49] Speaker E: Kind of burst my bubble, guys. 52. I'm gonna say he's 52.
[00:27:54] Speaker C: 52 web feet.
[00:27:56] Speaker B: Yeah, that's the inbreeding. Yeah, that's right.
[00:28:00] Speaker C: Tony, what do you, what do you think?
[00:28:02] Speaker B: I say, well, he, he is up there. He's definitely up there.
You know, he's getting up there.
Yeah. Don't let the pasty face fool you.
He's a howling.
[00:28:14] Speaker C: Hollywood.
[00:28:15] Speaker B: Oh, wolf.
[00:28:17] Speaker C: Yeah, I get it.
The TV series.
[00:28:20] Speaker B: I was hoping I wouldn't have to explain it.
I'm glad you did, though.
53.
[00:28:26] Speaker C: 53.
Okay, let me mark that down.
53, Catherine.
[00:28:34] Speaker B: Oh, I think 54.
[00:28:36] Speaker C: 54, yeah. Okay, 54 sounds okay.
Actually, Jack got it right on the buttons. He's 51.
Oh, yeah. I mentioned earlier tonight, by the way, that I got a card from somebody naturally unsigned, that said, you know, how come Tony and Jack always win? It's fixed.
Yeah, Obviously they work for the. The station and you don't have to send them prizes, and therefore it's funny.
[00:29:05] Speaker D: They see the script and today in the birthday Ola scandals.
[00:29:12] Speaker C: It'S birthday gate. Yeah, that's what it is.
It's kind of funny if anybody would say that.
Anyway, Jan, Jan. Michael Vincent is 51. Jack Hart wins Gets that. And how about you want to guess the age of Forest Whitaker? Does anybody care? Do you know who he is?
[00:29:31] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay, he was in Good Morning, Vietnam, and he's directed some movies. And he was in what? Crying Games.
[00:29:37] Speaker D: And didn't he also do that song, when there's a Ship Lies Rigged and Whitting?
[00:29:43] Speaker B: That's Roger Whittaker.
[00:29:44] Speaker D: Oh, I see.
Forrest. Roger.
[00:29:50] Speaker C: Did he say, life is like a box of chocolates?
[00:29:53] Speaker B: Oh, that's Forrest Gump.
[00:29:54] Speaker C: That's Forrest Gump. I know it was something. I thought it was the guy from that.
From the furniture store. Yeah, I thought it was the guy on F. Church. Jordan's Furniture.
Life is like a box. A box of chocolates.
[00:30:09] Speaker D: Are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.
[00:30:12] Speaker C: That's right.
[00:30:13] Speaker B: End up with a box of X flicks. Yeah.
[00:30:15] Speaker E: Jack, I want to hear you do this Whitaker guy as Forrest Gump. You know, can you. Can you combine the two?
[00:30:22] Speaker D: I haven't seen the movie, so I really don't know. Like, the Forrest Gump Gump thing beyond that, that, that, that darn.
[00:30:28] Speaker B: Sing Like a box of chocolate in the. Roger Whitaker.
[00:30:33] Speaker D: I left a box of chocolates in the harbor and I didn't know just what I would get.
You find a creamy Santa.
[00:30:46] Speaker B: Let him finish, will you?
[00:30:47] Speaker C: Sorry.
[00:30:48] Speaker D: The crunchy clusters.
[00:30:53] Speaker B: And you.
That it? And you bring you this program. Metropolitan State Hospital.
[00:31:04] Speaker C: Roger. Roger Whitaker is like.
Is like some old poopy cousin that comes to visit and sings at a wedding. And everybody stands there saying, oh, shut up, Roger. You have to sing every damn wedding.
[00:31:17] Speaker D: He's got on a cheap suit slightly too small ball.
I know.
[00:31:21] Speaker C: It's incredible. People actually buy this crap that he saves.
I can't believe it.
[00:31:28] Speaker B: Oh, I like him.
[00:31:30] Speaker C: Oh, be quiet.
I'd hate to think that we picked somebody to do the dumb birthday game who had that kind of really rotten taste.
[00:31:39] Speaker B: Well, they called to play the game, didn't they?
I ought to tell you something.
[00:31:46] Speaker C: The only thing that Whitaker's got going for him is the fact that he's an incredibly handsome man.
Okay, Forest Whitaker is the guy. We're guessing anyway, not the other guy. Forrest Whitaker.
[00:32:00] Speaker B: Wasn't he also.
[00:32:02] Speaker C: He was in Body Snatchers?
[00:32:03] Speaker B: Yeah. Wasn't he?
Bird downtown in the Clint Eastwood movie Bird there. Didn't he play.
[00:32:12] Speaker C: Oh, you mean play the part of Charlie Parker?
[00:32:14] Speaker B: Yeah. Didn't he.
[00:32:16] Speaker C: Is he black or white?
[00:32:17] Speaker B: He's black.
[00:32:18] Speaker C: Well, he could have. He could have. Yeah. It doesn't say that in this thing.
[00:32:21] Speaker D: Here, if he was white, it would.
[00:32:23] Speaker B: Have been a real stretch. But no, he's black.
[00:32:25] Speaker D: Doesn't he also do, like, a lot of directing and stuff at this point and producing kind of thing?
[00:32:30] Speaker C: Yeah, I get just a little sketch. It says actor.
[00:32:35] Speaker D: This sort of Robin Williams sidekick guy.
[00:32:39] Speaker B: Yeah, he was in Good Morning Vietnam.
[00:32:42] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:32:42] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:32:43] Speaker C: Okay, I guess we've identified him.
[00:32:45] Speaker D: Kind of like a sincere face kind of thing.
[00:32:47] Speaker E: Yes, kind of sincere face kind of thing.
[00:32:50] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:32:51] Speaker C: You know, if he married Helen Forrest.
Of course, if she married him, her name would be Helen Whitaker, so that wouldn't make any sense.
[00:33:01] Speaker B: We knew where you were going with it. We knew where you were going with.
[00:33:05] Speaker E: We were there for you.
[00:33:11] Speaker C: Okay, that was a nice try, Norm. Yeah, that was. That really seemed like I was gone. Some Alan Whitaker.
[00:33:22] Speaker B: Funny.
Oh, my God.
I only knew who Forest Whitaker was.
[00:33:33] Speaker C: Okay, I'm gonna. I'm gonna ask Hope first of all. She'll set the pace. How old is Forest Whitaker?
[00:33:38] Speaker D: Stumped.
[00:33:41] Speaker B: You're barking up the wrong tree now.
[00:33:43] Speaker D: Now we're branching off into other.
[00:33:45] Speaker E: I'm gonna say 54 quickly.
[00:33:47] Speaker D: We should leave it well enough alone.
[00:33:49] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:33:50] Speaker B: Maybe you should just leave Leaf.
[00:33:56] Speaker D: What do you think of a snap?
[00:33:57] Speaker C: Oh, okay.
[00:34:00] Speaker E: I pine for you, Jack.
[00:34:03] Speaker C: Catherine, what do you think? How old is Forest Whitaker?
[00:34:06] Speaker B: I'm gonna try 52. I guess.
[00:34:08] Speaker C: You better get 52. Okay.
Okay. And Bill from Cincinnati. That Bill, as opposed to that Bill? Yeah. You're the only Bill actually playing the game. But how old do you think Forest Whitaker is?
[00:34:22] Speaker B: How about 56?
[00:34:26] Speaker C: 56.
Okay, Tony, he's a deep, dark, deep, dark forest.
You're not doing racial jokes.
Okay?
[00:34:42] Speaker B: He's 38.
[00:34:49] Speaker C: 38, okay.
[00:34:54] Speaker D: And I cut him in half and.
[00:34:55] Speaker B: I counted the rings.
[00:35:02] Speaker C: Okay.
There must be some joke about him running for president, being on the stump, but we won't have to go through that.
Dick, what do you think?
[00:35:10] Speaker B: 47?
[00:35:11] Speaker C: Dick says 47.
Jack.
[00:35:14] Speaker D: Hey, didn't he also show up in Married With Children as the. The other shoe salesman?
He may have his shoe salesman buddy.
[00:35:27] Speaker C: That could be. I. I don't really know. I don't see Married With Children. I'm. I'm busy watching the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
I see.
[00:35:36] Speaker D: And the Discovery Channel.
[00:35:37] Speaker C: That's right.
Yes.
[00:35:40] Speaker B: And every once in a while, some spice.
[00:35:41] Speaker C: But yeah, I like to watch films on the newly emergent egrets among the swamps of Indochina.
[00:35:53] Speaker D: Romance.
[00:35:53] Speaker C: I really get off on that. You know.
[00:35:58] Speaker E: I've seen those nature shows.
[00:36:00] Speaker C: Wow.
[00:36:01] Speaker B: Oh.
[00:36:02] Speaker C: You ever see the mate or what? You know, don't knock it.
[00:36:06] Speaker D: Here is the mating dance of the North American egret, a plumed bird. He does his dance for the woman in a quick two step.
[00:36:17] Speaker C: That's right.
[00:36:18] Speaker D: Notice the pegged pants.
[00:36:25] Speaker C: Notice the way he's offering her his candied apples.
[00:36:31] Speaker B: Notice the gardenia corsage.
[00:36:34] Speaker C: That's right. He's putting it on her wrist right now.
Okay, so.
[00:36:48] Speaker D: Notice the leering smile.
[00:36:52] Speaker C: The.
[00:36:52] Speaker D: Animated eyebrows and the promises of nylons and chuckles.
[00:37:07] Speaker C: Jack. So how old is Forest Whitaker?
[00:37:10] Speaker B: When they're finished, how he gently puffs on the cigarette. Yeah.
[00:37:17] Speaker D: They call afterwards what is good for you.
[00:37:22] Speaker C: Will you tell me? I. Will you stop that? How old is Forest Whitaker?
[00:37:26] Speaker D: 47.
[00:37:28] Speaker B: I said that.
[00:37:30] Speaker E: Those nature shows got me through puberty.
[00:37:31] Speaker B: Are you kidding?
[00:37:33] Speaker C: Okay, actually. Actually, everybody's guessed much older than Forest Whitaker. Although by now he may be that age, but He's. He's actually 34.
[00:37:43] Speaker B: Hey, I didn't guess that much.
[00:37:45] Speaker C: No, Tony, you were the closest at 38.
So you have one correct answer. Jack has two, Catherine has one. And I guess the guy who wrote me the letter saying that how come Jack and Tony always win? It's obviously a fix. Then it's a phony.
[00:38:02] Speaker D: I only have one magnet under each of us.
[00:38:06] Speaker C: Okay, we're gonna go now to Monday, July 17, because there's not too many people who are to be fun to guess. So we'll go to. If you don't mind, we'll go to July 7th. A lot of interesting people born on that day, Monday, including Nelson Mandela. Hold on a minute while I.
Well, you know about Nelson Mandela. South African president had been jailed for 28 years before his release in 1990. Won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.
And how old would Nelson Mandela be today? Kathryn, what do you think?
[00:38:42] Speaker B: 54.
[00:38:44] Speaker C: 54. 54. Okay. Dick?
[00:38:47] Speaker B: 66.
[00:38:48] Speaker C: 66. And Bill?
[00:38:50] Speaker B: I'll say 64.
[00:38:52] Speaker C: 64. And what do you think?
[00:38:54] Speaker B: Hope?
[00:38:55] Speaker E: 67.
[00:38:56] Speaker C: Hope says 67. And Jack?
[00:38:59] Speaker D: 74.
[00:39:01] Speaker C: Okay. And Tony?
[00:39:03] Speaker B: Yes, 74. I have to just go with Jack on this one.
[00:39:08] Speaker C: Okay, well, then that means that both of you are the closest.
Because actually, 77 years old today. Yes, 77 years old today.
[00:39:17] Speaker B: Now it looks like we're cheating.
[00:39:19] Speaker E: You didn't let me in on it. That's not fair.
[00:39:22] Speaker D: Tony and I have hand signals sent up.
[00:39:25] Speaker B: That's right.
[00:39:26] Speaker C: That's right.
[00:39:26] Speaker B: Read the script again.
[00:39:28] Speaker C: Lucy Arnaz will be. Has a birthday July 17. Also the daughter, of course, of Lucille Ball.
Here's in. Here's Lucy on stage. In there playing our song.
And on CBS TV on the Lucy Arnaz Show. She's married to actor Lawrence Luckin. Bill Lawrence. Luckinbill.
[00:39:53] Speaker B: As you know, dance is a Luckinville.
[00:39:55] Speaker C: That's right. That's right. He was very close to the egret. Yes, he was the Luckinville and the Egret.
[00:40:00] Speaker D: The yellow breasted Luckinville.
[00:40:03] Speaker C: That's right. Right.
Why, hello.
[00:40:07] Speaker B: Hello.
[00:40:09] Speaker C: They named their first baby after Neil Simon.
[00:40:13] Speaker B: What do they name it? Neil Simon.
[00:40:15] Speaker C: I don't know. It doesn't say. Because they met while performing in Simon's plays.
I think maybe they named it Odd Couple.
Something like that girl, she was in They're Playing our Song and he was in Chapter two, which of course was another Neil Simon play.
[00:40:37] Speaker D: Now they're in chapter 11. Which is why they wrote the book.
[00:40:40] Speaker C: That's right. Hoping to recoup their losses. Is that what you're suggesting?
Okay, Lucy Arnaz, we'll start with. Let's see. We'll start with you, Jack. How old will Lucy be on Monday?
[00:40:55] Speaker E: Hmm?
[00:40:57] Speaker D: How old will Lucy be?
[00:41:01] Speaker C: Especially if she were on the train leaving from San Francisco at 9am and he was leaving from Boston at 12pm going at 26 miles per hour.
[00:41:15] Speaker B: Slow freight.
[00:41:17] Speaker D: It'd be the bus driver.
[00:41:18] Speaker C: That's right.
And they were carrying a load of loose egrets and luck and bills.
[00:41:27] Speaker D: Loose egrets and luck and bills. Wow, what an ugly sight that would be.
[00:41:31] Speaker E: Peg leg pants.
[00:41:34] Speaker C: Now, what does that mean? Is that I miss something?
[00:41:36] Speaker B: I didn't even hear it. What?
[00:41:37] Speaker E: Peg leg pants.
[00:41:38] Speaker C: Peg leg pants.
[00:41:40] Speaker B: Peg leg pants.
It's a very small percentage of the population wear those.
[00:41:48] Speaker C: Okay, now, who did I mention first, Jack? Did I ask you first?
[00:41:52] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:41:53] Speaker C: Lucy Arnaz.
[00:41:54] Speaker D: When was that show on 72?
The here's Lucy show with. With her kids?
[00:41:59] Speaker C: I don't know. I don't have a single date.
[00:42:01] Speaker B: No, that was later, I think, than that.
[00:42:03] Speaker D: And Gail Gordon just died.
[00:42:05] Speaker C: Yes, he did. Within the past week or.
[00:42:13] Speaker D: She'S got to be 40.
[00:42:16] Speaker B: No.
[00:42:18] Speaker C: 50.
[00:42:19] Speaker B: No.
[00:42:20] Speaker C: Oh, let's see. Her mother. Lucy. Lucy.
One of the channels had Mame.
Her mother was in the movie version of Mame. That came out in 74, I think. Something like that. Terrible movie.
No, I mean, considering the great score and everything. It was just awful.
[00:42:40] Speaker B: The movie. Auntie Mame. Like that. No, no.
[00:42:42] Speaker C: Auntie Mame. Now that was. That was the one. Auntie Mame.
[00:42:45] Speaker B: Oh, really? I don't think I've seen the Lucille version.
[00:42:48] Speaker C: No, I never. I didn't even realize she was in it. And I was watching and I thought, isn't that funny casting that they picked up some woman who looks just like Lucille Ball.
Turned out, that's who it was.
[00:42:59] Speaker B: Because the first. Well, what I consider the first one, I can't remember the star with. I love that. I love, love that movie.
[00:43:06] Speaker C: I. I do, too. Roslyn Russell.
I mean, they were. The. The show itself is a fine show.
[00:43:13] Speaker B: And she did that on stage too, didn't she?
[00:43:16] Speaker C: Yes, I believe she did. Oh, I saw it. No, I didn't. I saw Gypsy. I guess that I always think of them the same way.
But anyway, Maine was a great show.
Anyway. It's got a good score, but the movie itself is kind of awful.
But anyway, Jack, how old in heaven's name is Lucy Arnaz?
[00:43:38] Speaker D: Lucy Arnaz.
You know, she could be like. Like a couple of different ages.
[00:43:48] Speaker B: Well, if you take into account the time zones check.
[00:43:51] Speaker C: Yeah, that's right.
[00:43:52] Speaker E: That's amazing.
[00:43:52] Speaker D: And, and if she could, if she was using that product, lose a year that the, The. The Scotch tape would. With the elastic band that pulls your skin back.
[00:44:01] Speaker C: Oh, I love that.
[00:44:02] Speaker D: You never could tell. She might.
[00:44:03] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:44:05] Speaker C: If she were. If she were on. On the island of Bali right now, it would be 4pm on Saturday. I have to know that.

[00:44:37] Speaker B: What does she do? Does she work there?
[00:44:40] Speaker C: She owns the island of Bali.
She's one of these new generations of kids that saves their money, works hard and invests it wisely. In this case, she figured Bali.
That's right. And all she figured, it's the, it's the. It's the land of tomorrow. Great opportunities.
[00:45:00] Speaker B: She's hoping to be one of the first investors in the Walt Disney World. Bali.

I think maybe you guys are. I'm beginning to wonder about that. Okay, just one more Art Link letter.
Children, kids, say the darndest things.
He started out as a man on the street interviewer in San Francisco. He had quite a radio show that I loved when I was much younger back in the 40s.

I want to thank you all for playing the swell game with us. And for tolerating the cheating that has been going on. Obviously, even under my own nose. I didn't know that you guys were cheating.
[00:48:37] Speaker D: After a while you get to do the, like, the math quickly because you think in terms of decades and you can quickly sort of like slip back and forth to, you know, three years more or five years less.
[00:48:48] Speaker B: I did that and I got a big zero.
[00:48:51] Speaker C: Well, you gotta.
[00:48:51] Speaker D: You gotta figure out which direction to slide.
[00:48:53] Speaker B: Oh, maybe that's it. Yeah.
