Episode Transcript

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Apologies for the double episodes, but I was informed our little gremlin has returned where parts of the end credits are cut off. I have a workaround and hopefully that will solve it. Again, thanks for all the listens and views. Now, in honor of what would have been Norm's 99th birthday, December 20th, I present to you a dumb birthday game from December 21st, 1991, which shall be titled Duck under the Covers. The players may or may be not. Mike, Stephen, Boston, Wolfie, a well rested Ruth Clennett, Jack Hart in traffic. And I'm producing and playing in studio the birthdays with all the sound effects. Kurt Valheim, Jane Fonda, Frank Zappa, Chris Everett, Paul Winchell, Florence Griffith Joyner and Phil Donahue. We are graced with three commercials. Gold Bond, keep it in your sneaker. And Norm as a commercial read for Ginsana. Episode 266, Duck under the Covers cozies its way to your ears now. [00:01:15] Speaker B: And now the dumb birthday game. There so sensual, it'll make your underwear squirm. [00:01:24] Speaker C: 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. [00:01:42] Speaker B: Okay, the dumb birthday game says we. We have. We have an interesting panel. I'll introduce you to them in just a bit. And the number of people born on this day. It's now December 21st. And the idea is to guess how old you think they are. Concept is just wonderfully creative and certainly breaks new frontiers in broadcasting. So let's talk with some members, all the members of the panel. See, we're going to be playing with May. Is that you, May? Why don't we skip May? Okay. Was that really May? Was she sleeping or was she doing her I'm a lion and I'm gonna bite your head off routine? [00:02:23] Speaker D: I don't know. [00:02:24] Speaker B: I don't know. I don't know. My goodness. We know Mike. Mike is okay. [00:02:29] Speaker E: Hey, old sport. [00:02:29] Speaker B: See? See what I mean? Because we played the game with Mike before. He's okay. [00:02:33] Speaker E: Oh, I like this is. This is gonna be the high point of my evening, Norm, you know me especially to have been selected to play on this week. [00:02:42] Speaker B: That's right. This is a tough one because Tony had a lot of people to go by. I don't know how he picked May. So you passed apparently all the tests. [00:02:55] Speaker E: It was tough, but. [00:02:56] Speaker B: And you paid a little bit under the table too, Tony. And thus made the game. [00:03:00] Speaker E: I paid very little attention and a lot of money. [00:03:03] Speaker B: Okay, somebody's going to believe that. We're not kidding. [00:03:07] Speaker D: You want me to get that line filled? [00:03:10] Speaker B: You want to fill that one line? Okay, sure, sure. If you get somebody else to take the place of me, I'll be back. Okay. Steve in, in Boston also. Hi, Steve. [00:03:20] Speaker E: Hi, Norm. How's it going? [00:03:21] Speaker B: Pretty good. How's it going with you? [00:03:23] Speaker E: Not bad. [00:03:24] Speaker B: Okay. You right in the city of Boston. Yeah. [00:03:26] Speaker E: Right in the downtown. [00:03:27] Speaker B: Right in the downtown area. You at work now? [00:03:29] Speaker E: Yes, I am. [00:03:30] Speaker B: Okay, nice to have you with us. [00:03:31] Speaker E: Thank you. [00:03:32] Speaker B: Okay, we got Wolfie with us also. [00:03:34] Speaker E: Good morning, Normie. [00:03:37] Speaker B: How did you. How did you get through the barbed wire and all the obstacles we placed in your way? [00:03:43] Speaker E: Three grenades, 90 rounds of ammunition and a bayonet. But I'll give you one. You don't know the call letters of wbz, what they stand for? Yeah, Westinghouse Broadcasting System. [00:03:56] Speaker B: Westinghouse Broadcasting zits. [00:03:57] Speaker F: Yes. [00:03:58] Speaker E: I'm going to give you one that's really tougher than that. [00:04:01] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:04:02] Speaker E: Okay, I'll give you two call letters, B and Z. Who is Bruce Zagnet? [00:04:09] Speaker B: I don't have any idea. [00:04:10] Speaker E: Well, let the world guess who he is. I'll tell you sooner or later. [00:04:18] Speaker B: Wolfie, I don't know. Your stand up stuff really stinks. But anyway, hang in there. Let's go to Ruth also, who's a member of our panel. [00:04:25] Speaker F: Hi, good looking. [00:04:26] Speaker B: What do you say? That beautiful person. [00:04:28] Speaker F: He was asleep because I just woke up. [00:04:31] Speaker B: Oh, you missed the first two hours. [00:04:33] Speaker F: No, I've heard some of it. [00:04:34] Speaker B: No, no, because I'm going to sum it up later. You don't have to have heard it. We do an instant replay on first two hours later. [00:04:41] Speaker F: You're just so darn popular not to get in because I tried last week. I couldn't get in. [00:04:47] Speaker B: Well, some days. Some days are like that. [00:04:49] Speaker F: It just woke me right up at one minute of three and I said, call up your friend Norm. Is Wolfie going to behave? [00:04:56] Speaker B: He never behaves, but we'll just slap him down because we have final control. [00:05:00] Speaker F: Great. [00:05:01] Speaker B: Okay, we have. We have Jack Hard, of course, playing the game with us. Hello. Hello. [00:05:08] Speaker F: Hey. [00:05:09] Speaker G: I hope May isn't choking on a piece of meat or something. [00:05:11] Speaker B: That's right too. She may have been in trouble. I, I never thought of that. Cut her right. I never thought of that. That would be a. That would be an awful lot. It sounds like a TV plot line, isn't it? [00:05:22] Speaker E: Should we call Heimlich to go. [00:05:26] Speaker B: That's true. That's right. [00:05:27] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:05:29] Speaker B: Tony tells me he Just called her back to see if there was a problem and her line is busy. So she. That might have been snoring. [00:05:39] Speaker F: That's right. She was. Dave Maynard did that one time on all night radio. [00:05:44] Speaker B: Yeah, there it goes. See, that's May's line. [00:05:47] Speaker F: She's asleep. [00:05:48] Speaker B: She's asleep and she's snoring. Either that or that's awesome. She's dead. No, I hope not. Okay, so what we need right now is just one more person to call 2, 5, 4, 10, 30 to play the dumb birthday game. And we'll fill that empty spot in our souls, that void. And Tony seeing if he can't get somebody to do that. Meantime, I'd like to do for you. [00:06:16] Speaker F: I don't know what your rendition of. [00:06:18] Speaker B: What my rendition of. Maybe just some card tricks or something of that nature. [00:06:23] Speaker F: A little Christmas song. [00:06:24] Speaker B: Oh, we do have May back again. May. [00:06:28] Speaker C: Hey, you guys, I said to talk. Tony, you thinkies? I wasn't asleep. [00:06:34] Speaker B: You were. [00:06:34] Speaker E: What? [00:06:35] Speaker B: What kind of noises were you making? [00:06:36] Speaker C: I wasn't making any noise. [00:06:38] Speaker E: The. [00:06:39] Speaker C: The phone went dead. I thought to myself, what happened to everybody? [00:06:42] Speaker H: You were. [00:06:44] Speaker B: That the phone was dead. We heard some really. Some ugly noises. [00:06:48] Speaker C: No, no, no, no. I really was. It just went kaplunk. [00:06:52] Speaker E: And I thought. [00:06:53] Speaker C: Oh, somebody pulled the plug out. [00:06:56] Speaker D: We thought you were a keplunk. [00:06:57] Speaker E: No, I don't. [00:06:58] Speaker C: I didn't go keplunk. [00:06:59] Speaker F: No. [00:07:00] Speaker B: Somebody said maybe that was. You were choking or something. [00:07:03] Speaker C: No, no. [00:07:03] Speaker B: God. Eat. No, not. [00:07:05] Speaker C: No, no. [00:07:05] Speaker B: Okay. [00:07:06] Speaker C: I'm not eating a thing. [00:07:07] Speaker B: Okay, well, we're glad that you're okay. [00:07:09] Speaker C: I'm alive and well. I'm living in Boston. [00:07:11] Speaker B: Okay. [00:07:13] Speaker F: Okay. [00:07:14] Speaker B: Okay. Tony is also, of course, with us as part of the panel as well. [00:07:18] Speaker C: Hey, Tony, thank you. [00:07:19] Speaker B: Okay, we got. Is this going to be one of those nights you're going to talk through everybody? [00:07:23] Speaker C: I'm excusing. [00:07:25] Speaker B: Okay. [00:07:25] Speaker C: Who am I? [00:07:26] Speaker B: Okay, we got a number of interesting people born in this day. And one man who. Who I guess is interesting because of his Nazi pasts, which he denied, but still got to be President of Austria, which gives you a clue as to what kind of a country that is. Kurt Waldheim. [00:07:43] Speaker F: Oh, yeah. [00:07:44] Speaker B: Kurt Waldheim. Yeah. [00:07:45] Speaker H: May. [00:07:46] Speaker B: How old do you think? Kurt Waldheim. [00:07:48] Speaker E: He Must be about 77 now. [00:07:50] Speaker B: Must be about 77. Of course. The President of Austria. Yes, 77. And Mike, what do you think? [00:07:57] Speaker E: I'll stick with the spirit. I'll go with 76. [00:08:00] Speaker B: Okay. And Steve, what do you say? Steve? [00:08:05] Speaker E: I'll say 80. [00:08:06] Speaker B: 80 80. Just 88. [00:08:09] Speaker E: 080. [00:08:10] Speaker B: Okay. Wolfie, what do you think? [00:08:12] Speaker E: 82. And I want the man to live to be 177 with prostate cancer. [00:08:19] Speaker B: Well, you can always. You can always. You can always count on a really upbeat line from. From W. Oh, boy. Oh, Wolfie, please. Ruth, what do you say? [00:08:30] Speaker F: 79. And I told you he wouldn't be quiet. [00:08:34] Speaker B: I think you're right. I think you were right. What gave you the clue? [00:08:37] Speaker F: I know him. [00:08:38] Speaker B: I guess I should know him after all these years, too. Tony, what do you say? [00:08:43] Speaker D: 79. That sounds good. [00:08:45] Speaker B: You're gonna say you're gonna go along with Ruth, eh? [00:08:47] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:08:47] Speaker B: Okay. And Jack? [00:08:49] Speaker G: I'd say he was 79. And may he get a hangnail. [00:08:54] Speaker B: What does that mean? Is that. Am I missing something there? [00:08:56] Speaker G: Well, somebody else wanted to live for the. Wolfie wanted him to live. [00:09:00] Speaker B: Oh, I see you just. [00:09:02] Speaker G: With corn. [00:09:03] Speaker B: I see you were just with a hangnail. Yes, I see you were going a little gentler. Yeah, and I missed that whole illusion. Okay, the actual age of Kortval time. Have to say that with a Nazi accent. Let's see how old that Kurdwald time is. Oh, geez. This is the German song, not the Austrian. But I suppose. What the heck Goodwald time is. Zibin undreich yo. Or. No, he's 73. [00:09:44] Speaker D: Oh, someone picked that up. [00:09:45] Speaker B: Yeah, 73 years old. And that means that the closest actually was Mike, who said 76. Yeah, 76. Okay, Mike, when's the first round? Jane Fonda also was born December 21st on this very, very day, one of the shortest days of the year. And I don't know what the tie in there is. I just don't know why I said that. Jack, what do you think? How old is Jane Fonda? [00:10:17] Speaker G: Oh, she's in her fift easily. [00:10:24] Speaker C: 54. [00:10:26] Speaker B: 54. Jane fond of 54. And, Tony, what do you think? [00:10:31] Speaker D: I'll say 56. [00:10:32] Speaker B: 56. Okay. [00:10:34] Speaker D: Ruth? [00:10:35] Speaker F: 51. [00:10:36] Speaker B: 51. [00:10:37] Speaker E: 51. [00:10:38] Speaker B: Okay. And Wolfie? [00:10:40] Speaker E: 52. [00:10:41] Speaker B: 52. What do you think, Steve? [00:10:43] Speaker E: I think she's 49. [00:10:45] Speaker B: 49. And, Mike, how old do you think Jane Fond is today? [00:10:48] Speaker E: I'll split it right in the middle of 54. [00:10:50] Speaker B: 54. Wait a minute. [00:10:52] Speaker G: What did that mean? [00:10:54] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't know. That's the same age as Jack Hart has said. And what do you think, May? [00:11:02] Speaker C: I think she's 47. [00:11:04] Speaker B: You think she's 47. So that we'll mark that down. [00:11:07] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:11:08] Speaker B: Okay, here's the actual age. Now, Jane Fondas, we Check the birth records. Live from Bright. Oh, excuse me. Jane Fonda's actually 54, which is what Jack said and what Mike said. Mike has got two for two. [00:11:29] Speaker G: Holy smoke. [00:11:30] Speaker B: I have a feeling, Mike, that you have a book on the birthdays of everybody in the entire world, and you memorized that and you checked it out for today, and that you're cheating and that we must reprimand you, incarcerate you in the very bowels of the bastille. I think I'm gonna punch up Today. [00:11:45] Speaker G: In History on the. Let's give him the prostate cancer. [00:11:50] Speaker B: The word I'm sorry, it hits a very bad note with many people, including me. So if we could get away from that, I would appreciate it. I'm sorry, I just. I find the word is not. Is not really a humorous word. [00:12:02] Speaker E: You got it. [00:12:03] Speaker C: What word? [00:12:04] Speaker B: I forget. Frank Zappa. Let's. Let's check his age. Frank Zappa is, as you know, is a singer and a. And names his children funny names. [00:12:17] Speaker D: Dweezil and Moon Unit. [00:12:18] Speaker B: What's that? Weasel? Dweezel, Dweezil and what's the other? [00:12:21] Speaker D: Moon Unit. [00:12:22] Speaker B: Moon Unit. Yeah. [00:12:25] Speaker E: Does he spar in anything? I've never heard of him. [00:12:27] Speaker B: Frank Zappa, what was the name of the group? Led Zeppelin. [00:12:32] Speaker E: No, no, he wasn't in. Led Zeppelin. [00:12:33] Speaker G: The Mothers of Invention. [00:12:35] Speaker D: The Mothers of Invention. [00:12:35] Speaker B: The Mothers of Invention. That's what I meant to say. I meant to say that. Anyway, he's a singer and he's a composer and Mothers of Invention. Okay, let's start with Steve. How old do you think Frank Zappa is? [00:12:50] Speaker E: He was around in the 60s, so probably about 53. [00:12:55] Speaker B: 53. Okay, May, what do you say? [00:13:01] Speaker C: I don't know anything about him at all. [00:13:03] Speaker B: I'm surprised. [00:13:04] Speaker C: The vaguest idea of who he is, and I feel this way. He's like all those other guys who act like they're having, you know, one of those spits for malaria. You know, they all shake all over the place. [00:13:18] Speaker D: You know who he is? [00:13:19] Speaker C: Huh? [00:13:20] Speaker D: You don't even know who he is in your past. [00:13:22] Speaker C: Yeah, but they all act like they. [00:13:23] Speaker F: Have fits for malaria, you know? [00:13:26] Speaker C: So I guess maybe if that guy said he was around in the 60s. [00:13:31] Speaker B: And I have no idea. [00:13:32] Speaker C: Would you please shut me up? [00:13:34] Speaker B: Somebody said, I don't know where you're going with this. 54. [00:13:37] Speaker C: Let's say five, four. Five, four. [00:13:40] Speaker B: Okay, well, I don't remember what the question was. Wolfie, what do you say? [00:13:46] Speaker E: My waist size. 52. [00:13:49] Speaker B: Your waist size, 52. [00:13:52] Speaker D: Now we're getting up a little more. [00:13:53] Speaker B: Belief, Mike, what do you think? [00:13:56] Speaker E: Well, if he's in the 60s, it makes him part of the Pepsi generation, so I'd have to put him at 46. [00:14:03] Speaker B: At 46. Okay. That's Mace. That's May's waist size. I was just fooling me. I knew. [00:14:13] Speaker E: Damn. [00:14:13] Speaker C: Darwell better be. [00:14:15] Speaker B: Oh, she's getting violent. [00:14:16] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, I'm awake now. [00:14:20] Speaker B: Jack Hart, what do you say? How old would you say Frank Zappa is today? [00:14:25] Speaker G: I'm gonna say 54. [00:14:26] Speaker B: 54, okay. And Ruth, what do you think? [00:14:31] Speaker F: Well, I have to hate to say I agree with Wolfie. I think 52. [00:14:35] Speaker B: 52, okay. [00:14:37] Speaker D: And Tony, I'm gonna say 56 again. [00:14:40] Speaker B: 56 again. [00:14:41] Speaker D: Somebody's 56 today. I don't know who it is. I'm hoping it's Frank Zappa. [00:14:45] Speaker B: Okay, let's. Let's actually check and we'll find out, I think. Fair enough. [00:14:49] Speaker F: Huh? [00:14:51] Speaker B: Why, that's Dweezel Zappa, of course, playing the drums. [00:14:56] Speaker D: He plays guitar, actually. [00:14:58] Speaker B: Yeah, but this time he's playing the drum. Just for the show, just for this program. That's the only time he's ever played drums his entire life. Frank zappa actually is 51. And it would seem as though Wolfie and Ruth both. Who said 52. [00:15:14] Speaker H: Would be the. [00:15:15] Speaker B: Would come the closest. [00:15:16] Speaker E: Yeah, Beautiful. [00:15:19] Speaker B: So we have Mike, who's got two correct ones, and Wolfie and Ruth, both with one, and Jack Hard, with also one correct answer as we move along to Chris Everett. Chris Everett, the lovely. She's retired. Is she. Oh, no, she's still. Is she? Pretty much retired? [00:15:36] Speaker H: Yeah. [00:15:37] Speaker B: Sort of on the fringe there. Anyway, Chris Everett, let's start with. Let's see. Let's start with Tony this time. How old is Chris Everett? [00:15:45] Speaker D: 37. [00:15:45] Speaker B: 37, okay. And Ruth, what do you think? [00:15:50] Speaker F: 41. [00:15:51] Speaker B: 41. And Jack? [00:15:55] Speaker H: 36. [00:15:56] Speaker B: 36. [00:15:59] Speaker E: Wolfie, my I.Q. [00:16:02] Speaker F: 38. [00:16:06] Speaker B: How would you. For girls? I meant you must be thrilling the women with your. With your. Your waist size 52 and your IQ of 38. If I were you, I'd sign up with a dating service and you'd be picked right off the top of the list. [00:16:22] Speaker D: Oh, I think I saw his ad in the single section of the house. [00:16:26] Speaker B: Anyway, Steve, how old do you think Chris Everett is today? [00:16:30] Speaker E: 35. [00:16:32] Speaker B: 35, okay. [00:16:34] Speaker E: And Mike, I'm gonna agree with Tony. Chris Everett Lloyd is 37. [00:16:38] Speaker D: Just Chris Everett now, isn't it? No, she's. [00:16:43] Speaker B: I don't think she divorced him. [00:16:44] Speaker C: She's married to a Fellow named Hill. [00:16:46] Speaker E: Val used to be a. I hate to tell you, but they did a piece of the paper on it today. [00:16:53] Speaker B: Oh, really? That's how you. That's it. You know. Okay, May, what do you think? [00:16:57] Speaker C: She's 38. And her. [00:16:59] Speaker B: Unfortunately, May doesn't listen to anybody, so that's okay. [00:17:04] Speaker C: She was married to John Lloyd, a British tennis player. Then she divorced him and married this guy named Hill, who was a wizard. Is still a skier. They live in Aspen, Colorado. She's got a daughter a year old. Does Wolfie know that Eddie Fisher has cancer, too? [00:17:26] Speaker B: Oh, can we get off this? What does that get to do with any. Come on, let's get off. [00:17:31] Speaker C: She's 38. [00:17:33] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. You said that. And I said you apparently don't listen to people because Mike just said he read the story and he knows how old she is and he gave the actual age. Yeah, See, now, if you. If you'd stop talking and listen a little bit. Me. You'd be as bright as Wolfie. Okay, let's find out anyway. I guess I just told you how old Chris Everett is. But let's. Let's. Let's build it up. And Tony and Mike both had the correct answer. She is 37. [00:18:07] Speaker E: I believe there's a default here. There's a default love 20. But I think she lied. A rage. [00:18:15] Speaker B: Thank you very much, Wolfie. That really added a whole lot to the game. [00:18:18] Speaker D: Moving on a bit now. [00:18:19] Speaker B: That's okay. We're going to play the rest of the game to protest. Is that the idea? I'm protesting the fact that you're in the panel at all, so we both will be even. [00:18:28] Speaker C: I'm playing the game under my bed covers. [00:18:31] Speaker B: Okay. Now, I just said that as humor came out, sounding bitter. Okay. Paul Winchell, the ventriloquist whose dummy is named what? Don't say Wolfie. I knew some. I knew. I just opened up for that one. What is it? [00:18:46] Speaker F: Jerry Mahoney. [00:18:47] Speaker B: Jerry Mahoney. [00:18:48] Speaker D: That's right. [00:18:48] Speaker F: Give me a dollar. [00:18:49] Speaker B: Paul Winchell. Okay. Why don't you take the first guess then, Ruth, how old is Paul Winchell? [00:18:57] Speaker F: 66. [00:18:58] Speaker B: 66. Okay. May, what do you say? [00:19:01] Speaker C: 64. [00:19:03] Speaker B: 64. Okay. And Mike? [00:19:07] Speaker E: 62. [00:19:08] Speaker B: Okay. You saw a story about him in the paper today. [00:19:12] Speaker F: Married to Chris Everett. [00:19:15] Speaker B: And he found that he's in perfect health. However, Jerry has hemorrhoids. Yeah, Paul was going to say something about it because he couldn't figure out how to spell it. Ever see the spelling of that word? [00:19:27] Speaker D: What? [00:19:28] Speaker B: Paul I don't know. No hemorrhoids? I don't know. What other program. Do you have a discussion on how you spell hemorrhoids? [00:19:36] Speaker E: Good Lord. [00:19:37] Speaker B: Okay, Steve, how old do you think Paul Winchell is? [00:19:40] Speaker E: 67. [00:19:41] Speaker B: 67. [00:19:42] Speaker D: Hemorrhoids is spelled P, A, I, N, I, N, T, H, E. Huh. [00:19:48] Speaker F: I got it. [00:19:49] Speaker B: Thank you very much. I think he was. I think one more word and that would have been the end of everything. [00:19:53] Speaker D: Canaan, though, was the first part of it, Jack. [00:19:56] Speaker B: Oh, I see. Wolfie. Wolfie, how do you. [00:19:59] Speaker H: How do you. [00:19:59] Speaker B: How old do you think Paul Winchell is? [00:20:02] Speaker E: I'm going to go that he's only 59. [00:20:06] Speaker B: You're gonna go that he's only 59? It's a good way to phrase it, nice and smooth. Okay. Tony, what do you. How old would you want to go? To go that he's only. How much would you say. [00:20:17] Speaker D: Say he's only 62 and is. And if you cut the dummy in half, count the rings, you'll find that I'm correct. [00:20:23] Speaker B: Okay. Okay. Except we're not guessing the dummy, which sounds like a punchline to a joke. [00:20:29] Speaker G: It does? [00:20:29] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:20:30] Speaker E: What joke? [00:20:31] Speaker B: A guy walks into a bar room, he's got a duck under his arm. He says to the bartender, I'll have. [00:20:38] Speaker G: No. [00:20:39] Speaker B: Bartender says, excuse me. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. The duck said. The duck said. Now, the bartender says, what do you want? Oh, the guy says, I'll have a scotch on the rocks. No, I got it. Okay, now erase all the rest of it, starting right now. Three, two, one, go. Okay. Guy goes into a bar room, he's got a duck under his arm. Says to the bartender, will you give me a scotch on the rocks? Bartender says, and what do you want for the. What does the dog want? [00:21:13] Speaker D: Wait a minute. You had a duck? [00:21:14] Speaker B: Yeah. No. No. Oh, shut up. Says, what is the. What does the dog want? And the bartender. And the guy says, it's not a. This is a duck. It's not. I said I was talking to the duck. Oh, I think I missed something. [00:21:29] Speaker E: Somewhere along the line, better when you made a mistake. [00:21:33] Speaker B: Yeah, I think. I think the bartender should have spoke first and said, okay, what is the. What does that dog want? And the guy said, it's not a dog, it's a duck. He said, I was talking to the duck. Okay, Jack Hart, how old is Paul Winchell? [00:21:48] Speaker G: Paul Winchell, he. If it was last year, I would have went that. He was 65, but this year I'll go that he's 66. [00:21:58] Speaker B: 66. Okay. How about stalking? [00:22:05] Speaker E: No. [00:22:05] Speaker B: And I was talking to the duck, see? And Paul Winchell. Let's see. Let's find out how old Paul Winchell is today. Bartender and an ominous manner said, how old? That dog. That's not a dog. He said, imitating Peter Laurie. This is. I. I don't have a dog under my arm. This is a duck. I was talking to the duck. Now I get it. Paul Winchell is actually 69 years old. So I think Steve is the closest at 67. Yes, I believe so. [00:22:52] Speaker C: I said 67. [00:22:54] Speaker B: You said 64. Me? [00:22:56] Speaker C: I said 67. [00:22:57] Speaker B: No, no, you said six. You said 64. I've gotta. I write it down as soon as you. [00:23:02] Speaker D: Oh, gang, in that part, you said 64. [00:23:12] Speaker E: Actually, I slur. [00:23:16] Speaker B: Okay, okay. [00:23:18] Speaker H: You. [00:23:18] Speaker B: In fact, you said 59. As I reflect. Okay, here's Florence Griffith Joyner, who is the Olympic gold medalist. She's the runner, as you know, France. Did she. The one who. Did she fall during one session? Okay. Isn't that awful to remember somebody who achieved such great heights as she did and remember because she fell. [00:23:39] Speaker D: No. [00:23:40] Speaker B: Is that her? [00:23:40] Speaker G: She achieved great heights and then she fell. [00:23:42] Speaker B: Did she fall? [00:23:44] Speaker E: Must come down. Did she fall down? [00:23:48] Speaker D: No, I'm thinking. I think we're thinking of somebody else. [00:23:50] Speaker C: You're thinking of the South African girl. [00:23:53] Speaker B: Well, hold on a minute. Let me check my notes here. Check the Olympic files, will you? It says Florence Griffith Joiner. A lot of people think she fell, but she didn't. They get mixed up with somebody else. [00:24:05] Speaker E: No, no, no, no. [00:24:06] Speaker C: She didn't fall down. [00:24:06] Speaker B: See, somebody else. [00:24:07] Speaker C: It says she advertises hairspray or something. [00:24:10] Speaker B: Now, Florence Griffith Joyner. [00:24:12] Speaker G: Isn't there. Isn't there a long, drawn out movie made for TV movie. The Other side of the Mountain with. [00:24:20] Speaker B: With the. About. Well, about the. Florence Griffith Joyner may very well be. [00:24:25] Speaker E: No, it's with Kate Smith. [00:24:29] Speaker B: Oh, Kate Smith. [00:24:30] Speaker E: Oh, my God. [00:24:32] Speaker B: You know, one time, Kate Smith wore a white dress to a drive in theater during a heavy windstorm. And the duck said, no, the wind was so severe it knocked the screen over. So they pushed her up against the wall and they showed the movie on it. If this were about Orson Welles, I would have said the same thing. He was wearing a white suit. This. Very adaptable to anybody who's big and fat. Okay, Florence Griffith Joyner, let's start. Captain, let's start with you. Jack. How old is. Would you say she is today? [00:25:08] Speaker E: Oh, wow. [00:25:10] Speaker G: Let's see. [00:25:11] Speaker D: Oh, my. [00:25:12] Speaker C: Yeesh. [00:25:13] Speaker G: Let me see. In that movie, I guess she was probably about 23. And let me see. Judging from the bell bottoms, that had to be about 1976, so. And that's 25 years ago. [00:25:28] Speaker D: No, but she was just. I'm not saying a word. [00:25:30] Speaker G: About 15. [00:25:31] Speaker B: Yeah, I would. [00:25:33] Speaker G: I guess she would be. Oh, maybe 38. [00:25:36] Speaker B: 38. That was interesting. It's interesting getting into a mind of a really bright man. Seeing the way singing, the way it works, is really breathtaking. That's really nice. [00:25:47] Speaker G: Multiply by the length of the sideburns and. [00:25:52] Speaker B: And then translate mother into here. Oh, okay. Tony, how old would you say she is? [00:25:58] Speaker D: She was just in the last Olympics. [00:26:01] Speaker B: Or crying a lot. She can't be 38. [00:26:03] Speaker D: I just don't believe that you have to be young. [00:26:06] Speaker B: This is not a debate. How old you think her vivacious capacity. [00:26:11] Speaker D: She's probably. Let me see. [00:26:12] Speaker B: If that was four years ago. Divide by two. [00:26:19] Speaker D: Carry the one and cube root the nine. [00:26:24] Speaker B: And if pain for sister is unusually severe, see your doctor. [00:26:27] Speaker C: Oh, boy. [00:26:29] Speaker D: She's 29. 29. [00:26:34] Speaker B: 29. [00:26:36] Speaker D: Again. [00:26:36] Speaker B: Again. We probed and saw the way a great mind works. [00:26:39] Speaker D: Hold on now. I want to change that. [00:26:41] Speaker B: You want to change that? Yeah. [00:26:43] Speaker D: 31. [00:26:44] Speaker B: 31. 31. Yeah. I forgot to add five for the lapel factor. Okay. Ruth, what do you think? [00:26:53] Speaker F: I went to sleep. [00:26:55] Speaker E: Wait a minute. I don't blame you, Ruth. [00:26:58] Speaker F: I tell Tony that there is life after 40. I mean, that was a terrible thing to say. [00:27:06] Speaker B: No, but. But he said he's just trying to figure out by the last time she ran. There may be life after 40, but not too many people do the running and the Olympics after 44. Yeah. [00:27:16] Speaker F: I'll say 37. [00:27:18] Speaker B: 37. [00:27:19] Speaker D: If she's this. [00:27:20] Speaker B: If these. [00:27:20] Speaker D: If she's this old, I don't know. [00:27:23] Speaker B: What I'm gonna do. [00:27:28] Speaker F: Think of something you have. [00:27:29] Speaker B: You sound like you have a personal stake on some adventure with her. Yeah, hold on, mate. Let's. Let's get to the rest. We'll start. Wolfie, how old do you think she is? [00:27:36] Speaker E: Well, first of all, I've got to go into the track. [00:27:40] Speaker B: Oh, Jesus. All we have to do is encourage Wolfie to go along this line. [00:27:45] Speaker E: We gotta go to the quad pole. [00:27:48] Speaker B: And I thought I was talking to the duck. How old is she? Wolfie could just give. 33 is very good. That's very nice, Steve. What do you think? [00:27:59] Speaker E: I'm gonna say 33 also. [00:28:01] Speaker B: Okay. Your boss is not bothering you? Is your boss around? [00:28:05] Speaker E: No, no. Boss at all. [00:28:06] Speaker B: Oh, that's good. [00:28:07] Speaker E: So, yeah, nice, nice, comfortable, easy job. [00:28:10] Speaker B: Okay. So that you can play the game without worrying about the boss. What are you doing on a bus, Steve? Okay. [00:28:16] Speaker E: No, I wish I could get more hours, actually. [00:28:20] Speaker B: Mike, what do you say? [00:28:21] Speaker E: Here, I'll say the big 30. [00:28:24] Speaker B: The big 30. Okay. Mike says the big 30 in May. [00:28:30] Speaker C: I'm gonna say the little 30. [00:28:34] Speaker B: Oh, that's sweet. That's pretty sweet the way you did that. [00:28:37] Speaker C: Because I'm beautiful. [00:28:39] Speaker B: That's cunning. They still call little kids cunning. Isn't he cunning? Always uses that. Yeah, that's an old fashioned word. Cunning also means sly, treacherous in some. [00:28:55] Speaker D: Ways, like a fox cunning. Isn't it cunning? Like that stuffed teddy bear in the background. [00:28:59] Speaker B: Isn't that cunning? [00:29:00] Speaker D: No, it's cunning. [00:29:00] Speaker B: Oh, that's sweet. That's. That says. [00:29:03] Speaker D: Makes me sick. [00:29:05] Speaker B: Okay, let's get the actual age of Florence Griffith Joyner. [00:29:12] Speaker H: Oh, I get it. [00:29:18] Speaker B: Look at her. She's standing up there ready to get the gold medal. And she tripped going up the steps. [00:29:23] Speaker D: That's what she did. [00:29:24] Speaker B: She fell on a duck? Yes. [00:29:30] Speaker G: Sure she didn't step on it? [00:29:32] Speaker B: Step on it. Yeah, I think she did. Okay. Florence Griffith Joiner. That sounds like a Miss America. They all seem to have three names like that. Anyway, her name would be Bonnie Sue Joyner if I suppose she was Miss america. Anyway, she's 32 years old today and that means that I believe. Tony. Yeah, who said 31? Wait a minute. We also have Stephen wolfie, who said 33. Okay, so we have Tony, Wolfie and Jack. [00:30:03] Speaker G: Oh, she doesn't look that good for her age. [00:30:06] Speaker B: Who are you thinking of? I really want to know. [00:30:08] Speaker D: She's the one who wore those wild outfits. [00:30:11] Speaker G: Well, who's the woman that had that. They made that horrible made for TV movie about. [00:30:15] Speaker B: I. [00:30:15] Speaker G: It's only James Brolin or something in. [00:30:17] Speaker F: It wasn't her. [00:30:20] Speaker D: Is this woman black who you're talking about? [00:30:22] Speaker C: Yeah, she's black. [00:30:23] Speaker D: Oh, well, this one, the runner is black flying. Oh, Merry Christmas to you. [00:30:28] Speaker B: Oh, wait a second. [00:30:28] Speaker G: I'm thinking of a skier. [00:30:30] Speaker C: Yeah, no, that's the other problem. [00:30:33] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay, here's our very last one. Let me give you the score so far of what we have here. We have reading from the top to bottom. We have May, who has scored not at all, but has provided us with a lot of interesting conversation. [00:30:46] Speaker C: And information, too. [00:30:48] Speaker B: And information, too. And a little bit of it. Somewhat boring, but, hey, you are very cunning, Norm. And I think. I think you're adorable. [00:30:58] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:31:00] Speaker B: Okay, Mike has three correct answers. Steve has one. Two. Oh, yes, you're right. You're right. That's right. You got this last one. Steve has two. That's correct. Wolfie has two. Ruth has one. I beg your pardon. Okay, Tony has two. And Jack Hart has one. [00:31:26] Speaker G: Hey, you know that movie? The movie I'm thinking of is the Other side of the Hurdle. [00:31:34] Speaker D: So what, is there a big, massive tie for two hours? [00:31:37] Speaker B: No, there's a Mike. Mike. Mike leads with three. And it'll be a tie if Wolfie or Tony, whoever else, has two. [00:31:46] Speaker F: Oh, you have to have a tiebreaker. [00:31:48] Speaker B: Yeah, then we. Then we would, but at the moment, that. We don't seem to need that. Okay, Phil Donahue. Today is his birthday. December 21st is Phil Donahue's birthday. Yeah. [00:32:01] Speaker E: Is the caller there? That man can run. [00:32:06] Speaker B: And here's my imitation to Phil Donahue. And we'll be right back. And we'll be right back. They all say that, don't they? And we'll be. We get to. We have to wait for a very dramatic moment. Hold on a minute. I think I'm gonna have sex with a turtle. [00:32:21] Speaker E: Thank you. [00:32:22] Speaker B: Thank you. And we'll be right back. Okay, Phil Donahue, let's start with. [00:32:29] Speaker E: Let's see. [00:32:29] Speaker B: We'll start with a duck. That would be different. That's right. May. How old is Phil Donahue today? [00:32:37] Speaker C: No matter how old he is, he's too old. [00:32:40] Speaker E: Oh, she live that long? [00:32:42] Speaker B: He shouldn't live as long as Phil Donahue. 57. I've already lived longer than Phil Donahue. [00:32:49] Speaker D: That's too long, Norm. [00:32:50] Speaker C: Maybe that's the problem. [00:32:53] Speaker B: Holy smoke. She. [00:32:55] Speaker H: She's really. [00:32:55] Speaker B: She's really lashing out. [00:32:57] Speaker D: What's the word? Caustic. [00:33:00] Speaker B: Caustic. Yeah, caustic. More vicious. Vicious. [00:33:02] Speaker G: Cunning. I don't think. [00:33:03] Speaker D: No, no, no. [00:33:04] Speaker C: Caustic. Caustic. [00:33:05] Speaker E: I'm. [00:33:05] Speaker C: I'm not. I'm Irish. I'm not Russian. [00:33:07] Speaker H: Acerbic. [00:33:09] Speaker B: Acerbic. [00:33:10] Speaker D: Acerbic. [00:33:10] Speaker B: Croatian. Yeah. Croatian is very good. Mike. Mike, what do you think? How old is Phil Donahue today? [00:33:22] Speaker E: 56. [00:33:24] Speaker H: Yeah. [00:33:24] Speaker D: As he looks closely at his list of birthdays and he goes. [00:33:27] Speaker E: Oh, let me see. [00:33:28] Speaker D: I'll guess this one. [00:33:29] Speaker B: Right on. 56. Six. Are you cheating, Mike? [00:33:33] Speaker E: 58. [00:33:37] Speaker B: I'm not suggesting that you're right or wrong on this one. [00:33:40] Speaker E: I'm not. [00:33:41] Speaker G: That you. [00:33:41] Speaker F: You. [00:33:42] Speaker B: You have three up to this point. Well, of course, you were off with Kurt Valheim, even though you were the closest, so maybe you're not. Maybe you're not cheating? [00:33:51] Speaker H: I don't know. [00:33:51] Speaker D: It's just a game he'll play. [00:33:53] Speaker B: Oh, I see. He just does that purposely. [00:33:56] Speaker H: Sure. [00:33:56] Speaker B: Throw us off a little palooza. [00:33:58] Speaker F: Gets the money, right? [00:33:59] Speaker B: Yeah. Meantime, he's punching this stuff up on his computer. He has a. He has some software that tells everybody's birthday. [00:34:07] Speaker D: He's hooked into the AP wire today in history. [00:34:10] Speaker B: That's right. He gets the same copy that we're reading from. I never thought of that. Okay, he's got it. Listen. Yeah, see that? I can hear that. Yeah. Steve. Steve, how old do you think Phil Donahue is today? [00:34:25] Speaker E: I think he's 56 years old. [00:34:28] Speaker B: 56 years old. You're gonna go along with what Mike said. Okay. And what do you say, Wolfie? [00:34:34] Speaker E: 58. 58 should be 59. And if I was married to Danny Thomas daughter, I wouldn't care how old I was. [00:34:44] Speaker B: Who that girl? So your answer. Your. Your answer is 58. Then is that your. Your waist size again? [00:34:56] Speaker E: No, I. I don't think I'll ever try that size again. As far as. And I want to give you an expose for the little kitties that listen to you at this time of day. [00:35:08] Speaker B: There are a lot of them. [00:35:09] Speaker G: Yeah. [00:35:11] Speaker E: Santa Claus has been on slim fast for the year because WBZ projects slim fast, and he's down to 155 pounds. [00:35:23] Speaker B: That was wonderful. I'm so glad you added that to the program, Wolfie. [00:35:27] Speaker G: And also because chimneys have been getting smaller. [00:35:30] Speaker D: I'm glad I didn't say it. I was thinking. [00:35:32] Speaker E: But I didn't say Wolfie should refrain from operating heavy machinery. [00:35:38] Speaker B: Or doing anything, especially on a phone. On a telephone. Ruth, how old do you think he was today? [00:35:45] Speaker F: I'd say 55. [00:35:47] Speaker B: 55. Nobody said, Ooh, the speed limit. I'm sorry. [00:35:52] Speaker F: Oh, the speed limit. [00:35:53] Speaker B: Oh, see? Thank you very much. Tony, what do you say? [00:35:57] Speaker D: I'll say 56. [00:35:58] Speaker B: 56. [00:35:58] Speaker D: Ooh, one mile an hour over the speed limit. [00:36:03] Speaker B: Wolfie's waist size. Or is it his IQ? I forget. [00:36:08] Speaker G: That was 38. [00:36:09] Speaker B: Oh, that's right. Yeah, that's right. Jack. Jack, what do you say? [00:36:13] Speaker G: Wait a second. Let me see. [00:36:20] Speaker H: 56. [00:36:22] Speaker D: Birthday book. [00:36:25] Speaker B: Okay, I think it's time now to check the birth records and find out officially just how. I'm sorry. Who is that? [00:36:35] Speaker D: That's us. That's me. Oh, that's you. [00:36:37] Speaker B: Oh, that's the sound effect. [00:36:38] Speaker D: You ever see Letterman always makes fun of Phil because he's always saying, is the caller there? Is the caller there? And he's got the microphone out. So I figured a phone sequence would. [00:36:49] Speaker H: Be kind of appropriate. [00:36:50] Speaker D: Having to explain it like this really takes away from it all. [00:36:53] Speaker C: Yeah, it lost the rule of thumb. [00:36:56] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:36:57] Speaker D: I had a CD player in here. Maybe I would have played a theme from that girl, but I don't. So we'll have to make do with it. [00:37:03] Speaker E: 39. [00:37:05] Speaker B: Oh, that's nice. But it's too late now, Mike. Thank. Thank goodness nobody was near that. Although Chris Everett was 37 and nobody said 39 during that sequence. I call them sequences. I try to dress the game up a little bit. Fancy talk. The actual age of Phil donahue though, is 56. Yes. And yes. [00:37:27] Speaker F: The show's getting rid of. [00:37:30] Speaker B: Yeah. So we have four winners there, Mike, man. That's right. Mike. Mike, who has a direct computer line right to ap. [00:37:37] Speaker C: Absolutely. [00:37:38] Speaker B: Absolutely. No, we're very suspicious. [00:37:40] Speaker F: Isn't it fair that the losers get the cash? [00:37:42] Speaker B: That's true. We've reversed the roles this time. [00:37:46] Speaker C: And since I didn't get anything, I won the whole. [00:37:50] Speaker B: That's right. May is. May is the big winner.

[00:39:22] Speaker B: Virginia deer. That's right. That's right. Virginia. [00:39:26] Speaker E: The first settler born in the country. But Pearl Green White was the first in the plumbing colony. [00:39:31] Speaker B: I get you. And. And she survived. Virginia Deer. That colony was wiped out by the time they came Back again. That was Raleigh. Sir Walter Raleigh, wasn't it? When he.

[00:40:48] Speaker E: Hey, Norm, when you ride your horse. [00:40:50] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:40:50] Speaker E: Or when you used to, do you ride English saddle or bareback? [00:40:54] Speaker B: English. [00:40:55] Speaker E: That's what I figured. That's why you don't know what Latico is. [00:41:00] Speaker B: Oh, that's. Now, Latico. Latigo. Is that a crop? [00:41:03] Speaker E: It's no. Latigo's the long strap that comes down off the saddle. But a Western saddle. [00:41:09] Speaker G: Wasn't that a Milton Bradley game? [00:41:10] Speaker B: Latigo. [00:41:12] Speaker E: It fastens to the cinch and then it tightens the cinch. [00:41:15] Speaker B: Oh, is that right? I don't even know what a Fitch is. Now, what's. Are you making that up? [00:41:21] Speaker E: No, the long one that goes under the belly. Where does the griff go? [00:41:27] Speaker B: That goes around the belly. The girth? [00:41:30] Speaker D: No, he said. [00:41:30] Speaker B: Well, that's the girth of the horse. Yeah. [00:41:32] Speaker D: Did you say a Fitch? [00:41:33] Speaker G: Mike, Wasn't there a John Fitch? [00:41:35] Speaker D: That was.

I love you poking fun at me like that. Okay. L, A, T, I, G, O. Is that the way you spell it? [00:41:47] Speaker E: Yes. [00:41:48] Speaker B: Okay. In fact, we got a. We got a word from Dave Wilbur, who's security guard. I don't. Maybe he knew or maybe somebody had called in. He did know. [00:41:57] Speaker D: Well, he said it was a leather. [00:41:58] Speaker B: Strap of some sort. Yeah. So he described it very close to what you're saying. Is it one T or two? It doesn't matter. Neither one is one T. L, A T I G O. Yeah. [00:42:09] Speaker E: And plural is. [00:42:10] Speaker D: Wasn't that a movie by Alfred Hitchcock? [00:42:14] Speaker E: Oh, Vertigo. [00:42:18] Speaker B: He had a fear of other straps. [00:42:19] Speaker E: Anyway, let it be people. Tell me how many. [00:42:22] Speaker B: Let it go is not in. In this dictionary. Anyway. [00:42:25] Speaker E: It's a Spanish word. [00:42:26] Speaker B: Oh, okay. Or latiga or something. I don't know what I just said. Hey, Wolfie, thanks for playing the game. [00:42:33] Speaker E: Just tell me how many frogs on a horse. [00:42:35] Speaker B: How many frogs on a horse? Oh, this is the horse player. He doesn't like to watch horses. For the simple beauty of watching one of America's great blue world's graceful animals. If you can't put two bucks on the damn horse. [00:42:49] Speaker E: If I put only two dollars on, I'd be the. [00:42:53] Speaker B: Give us the answer now. How many frogs on a horse? [00:42:57] Speaker E: You have to find that out. [00:42:59] Speaker B: Okay. Hey, thank you very much, Wolfie. What a pleasure. To hit that button and catch him in mid sentence is one of life's great joys. It's almost worth listening to him babbling for a half an hour before that. Anyway, May. [00:43:16] Speaker C: Yes, dear. [00:43:17] Speaker B: Thank you very much. [00:43:19] Speaker C: Would you like some information about the music? [00:43:22] Speaker B: What music is that? [00:43:23] Speaker C: The music you were talking a little while ago. [00:43:26] Speaker B: I think we solved that problem. [00:43:28] Speaker C: May, you asked about the Warsaw Concerto. [00:43:31] Speaker B: No, I didn't. I was asking about something else. [00:43:33] Speaker C: Yes, I know what you were asking about. [00:43:35] Speaker B: Okay. Hey, May, I wish you a very happy Christmas and it's always a pleasure to talk with you. [00:43:40] Speaker C: You bet. [00:43:41] Speaker B: Take care now. [00:43:42] Speaker C: Good night, dears.

[00:43:56] Speaker B: Thank you for. Thank you for calling. I hope the rest of your night goes pleasantly, but what the heck, you've already reached the peak right here.

[00:44:16] Speaker F: I got that one right, so that means another one. [00:44:18] Speaker G: Hey, how come we didn't guess your age? [00:44:20] Speaker D: It was yesterday. [00:44:20] Speaker B: Yeah, because it's not today. Had we been playing the game yesterday, we would have certainly put that there. [00:44:25] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:44:26] Speaker F: I wish you had played on my birthday. But my birthday was on a Thursday. [00:44:29] Speaker B: Would you want. Would you wanted this gang of people there to like Wolfie to. [00:44:32] Speaker E: No, no, not that group. [00:44:35] Speaker F: I mean, really. But it was nice to talk to you and have a happy belated birthday. [00:44:41] Speaker B: Thanks a lot, Ruth. You, too. [00:44:42] Speaker F: Happy holiday. [00:44:43] Speaker B: Thank you. You, too. Take care of yourself. Okay, now. And, Jack, we'll talk to you again in about 11 minutes or so. Okay. Or maybe 12 or 13 or 20. It depends on how much I got to talk about. All righty. Take care. Okay. [00:44:58] Speaker H: Bye. [00:44:59] Speaker B: Bye now. That was my friend Jack. [00:45:01] Speaker D: I'll go get Mike's info. Thanks, Norm. [00:45:03] Speaker B: Okay. Thank you very, very much. And best wishes, Mike. Nice to have you with us. [00:45:06] Speaker F: Hey, Norm. [00:45:07] Speaker B: Yeah? [00:45:07] Speaker E: Can I humbly suggest that the gentleman that called you about that Rachmaninoff. [00:45:13] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:45:14] Speaker E: Was possibly wrong. I believe that's Tchaikovsky's Concerto in B. [00:45:21] Speaker B: Minor by D. You said D as in. [00:45:23] Speaker E: No, B as in boy. [00:45:24] Speaker C: Oh. [00:45:25] Speaker E: B as in boy in B minor. I don't know anything about the B flat minor, but I believe it may have been performed many times by Rachmaninoff. But I'm pretty sure the composer. [00:45:37] Speaker B: Okay. Because my first guess was it was Tchaikovsky. [00:45:41] Speaker E: I'm almost. [00:45:42] Speaker B: Which is what I say is. [00:45:43] Speaker E: But, you know, I'm not David Brudnoi when it comes down to classics and stuff like that. [00:45:49] Speaker B: I don't think he knows any more about classical music than anybody else does. I don't have to know much more than me. No, but I mean, that's not his area of expertise. Everything else in the world is, but not that. Anyway, hey, let me turn you over to. To Tony. Thanks a lot, Mike. [00:46:05] Speaker E: Have a nice holiday. [00:46:06] Speaker B: Thanks a lot. You, too. [00:46:07] Speaker D: Okay. [00:46:08] Speaker B: Bye. Bye now. Okay. That's my friend Mike. Ladies and gentlemen, we played the birthday game, so we deserve something equally pleasant.

There's a cooling sensation at the end of the day. Area that was irritating in the morning is no longer irritating. [00:46:48] Speaker H: Gold Bond's Triple action is like three great powders in one. It has the absorbing action of powder, the medicating action of a proven itch fighter, and the drying action of zinc oxide. That's Triple Action Gold Bond. [00:47:01] Speaker I: It's gone.

He rode a motorcycle everywhere, all the time. During the winter he would arrive wearing what would be best referred to as an Antarctic snowsuit. He was wrapped up tighter than Ralphie's brother in A Christmas Story. I have no idea how he could even steer the bike, but he did. When he wore it, it would dwarf the motorcycle so much that he looked like he was riding one of those circus mini bikes. What a legend.
