Norm Nathan’s Vault of Silliness w/Tony Nesbitt - Ep 275 - The Incredible Mr. LeClair

[00:00:01] Speaker A: All right, Nathanites, here we are again for another exciting episode of Norm Nathan's Vault of Silliness. Today features a dumb birthday game from February 17, 1996. It always seemed when Norm got very comfortable with the producer, they would leave and the whole process would start again. It was a tough situation because we lost some good ones. So because producer Ed leclair was leaving for Florida to possibly work at Gulf World, I will title this one the incredible Mr. LeClaire. Norman, Ed, discuss all that, and the players are introduced. And there's a whole lot of fun before they finally start the game. Here are your players. Ed LeClaire, Jack Hart. Twin brothers John and Jim from Livonia, Michigan, Bob and Peabody and Pete from Lawrence. The birthdays Hal Holbrook, Margaret Truman, Daniel Jim Brown. Michael Jordan, Marianne Mobley. Then a date in history. The first issue of Newsweek magazine was published in what year? Episode 275. The Incredible Mr. LeClaire swims its way to your ears now. [00:01:07] Speaker B: Florida. [00:01:08] Speaker C: Yeah. I'm sorry. It's fun working with you. I'm sorry to see you go. It's just. Gee whiz. [00:01:13] Speaker B: Oh, well, I, I appreciate your saying that, Norman, and I'm going to miss you, and it's been really a great pleasure working with you, but I have family down in Florida and, and, and they've asked me to come down and I've been meaning to for some time and. And it's time. It's time to move on. I've been here in Boston for about five years and I feel like I'd like to go on to. [00:01:33] Speaker C: Wait, now, you're from California originally? [00:01:36] Speaker B: I'm from California. [00:01:37] Speaker C: San Diego, is it? [00:01:38] Speaker B: From San Diego originally, yeah. And I have an aunt in. Down in Florida in the Pensacola area. My sister's down there, too, and she works for one of those, like, SeaWorld type parks where you have killer whales and dolphins and things doing shows. And she thinks she can get me a job running the audio board for this group because they do little sound effects and things like kissing sound effects because a seal will come out of the water and we'll kiss a little girl and then there's a big, like, smacking sound effect. So I might. She thinks she can get me a job doing that. And I thought it'd be a lot of fun. [00:02:13] Speaker C: I think it is a lot of fun. And I think now, since you're a young guy and unencumbered and all that kind of stuff, I know you have Elizabeth and all that, right? [00:02:21] Speaker B: She'll be joining Me too. [00:02:23] Speaker C: That's good. Okay, now what is the name of this park? Is that in Pensacola? [00:02:26] Speaker B: It's Gulf World, is the name of it. [00:02:28] Speaker C: Gulf World? [00:02:29] Speaker B: Yes. [00:02:30] Speaker C: And it's in Pensacola. [00:02:32] Speaker B: It's just outside of Pensacola. It's a place. Well, actually it's probably about, maybe about 50 miles to the east of Pensacola in a place called Panama City. [00:02:40] Speaker C: Oh, okay. I've heard of Panama City. [00:02:42] Speaker B: Oh yeah? [00:02:43] Speaker C: Yes, I have. [00:02:44] Speaker B: It's a lovely place. [00:02:46] Speaker C: Is that on the Gulf? [00:02:48] Speaker B: Yeah, right on the Gulf. Right on the Gulf. There's Panama City and then there's Panama City beach, which is where this Gulf World actually is. But I'll be, I'll be staying with my aunt in Panama City. [00:02:56] Speaker C: Okay? So anybody goes down there, they can. [00:02:59] Speaker B: Stop by and say hello. [00:03:00] Speaker C: They might, just might hear you on the PA system at the, at the theme park. [00:03:03] Speaker B: That's right. I could be, I could be saying now Rocky the seal. [00:03:08] Speaker C: Okay, good luck. I wish you more good luck tomorrow because you will be back again then. [00:03:15] Speaker B: But now we have a dumb birthday game to play. [00:03:17] Speaker C: We do. And we also have Jack Hart, who's on the line with us right this very moment. Hello. Hello, Jack. Now can you imagine that? [00:03:24] Speaker D: Here we have the city of Boston. A world class city with that small town feel. The city that only sometimes naps everything you could possibly want. Four seasons. And you're leaving. [00:03:36] Speaker B: Well, it has snow and that, that, that's been kind of a drawback for me. So I'm. I'm going to move on to maybe a little warmer climbs. [00:03:43] Speaker D: Wow. Yes. [00:03:46] Speaker B: But I'll be. My heart will still be here in Boston. [00:03:49] Speaker C: Listen, listen to this. There's this syrup dripping all over everything. We're going to get electrocuted when it's when it hits the microphone. Any. Anyway, you know, you raise a son. [00:04:05] Speaker D: To school. [00:04:06] Speaker C: Yes, yes. He has spent tons of money. You devote love to him and everything. He grows up and what does he do? I'll see you later. I'm tired of you and your snow. That's all you get. And sometimes I wonder why. I'm a father. [00:04:20] Speaker D: And you know what's going to happen, Norm? We're both going to be old and hoping to have our children take care of us. And where are they going to be, Flora? [00:04:27] Speaker C: That's right. That's right. Well, I'm old already and I'm waiting for my kids to take care of me now. But that's what dads are for, is to take care of the kids. You know, one day I'll be 106 years old. They'll be 90 and I'll still be taking care of them. Well, maybe they'll be 80, but that's, that's. Anyway, anyway, I had some, some really magnificent question to ask. I shouldn't say that without remembering what the question was, but I've been looking out the window. Nothing seems to be going on. [00:05:02] Speaker D: Nothing is coming out of the sky right this very minute and it hasn't. [00:05:05] Speaker C: For the few hours. [00:05:07] Speaker D: Well, a couple of hours ago we did get, we did get kind of a little bit of a whack there for about a half hour, 45 minutes. [00:05:13] Speaker C: Oh yeah, oh yeah. I must not have been looking out the window at that time. No, because I, because this, this past afternoon, like around 2 or 3 o', clock, I was talking with one of my daughters and she said, and it was starting to snow pretty good at that time and she said, dad, you ought to, you ought to go to work now because by, you know, by the time you leave, normally you'd leave. Normally I leave like 10 o' clock at night, 9 or. And she said it's going to be. And I said I don't want to spend a whole afternoon there. You know, this is not a theme park. There's not no great amusement. I could go up to the WBC hall of Fame, the museum. [00:05:49] Speaker D: No kissy sharks jumping out of the water. [00:05:51] Speaker C: No, no kissy sharks at all. No. I could hang around the lobby of the WBZ Westinghouse Plush Hotel on the top floor of the penthouse apartments and. [00:06:01] Speaker D: Stuff, eating caviar and drinking fizzy water. [00:06:04] Speaker C: That's right, that's right. I could, I could, I could have gone to the WBC farm and food stor, stuff like that, you know, and just let my hand run through some grain and stuff, you know. But I thought I could do all of that in about 12 minutes. I don't have to come in at 3 in the afternoon. So I went to bed and I thought by the time I get up I'm going to be snowed in. I'll never be able to get there and it'll be terrible. It'll spoil my record of never having missed a show in 743 years. And, and as it was, I got, I got plowed out meanwhile, and my driveway was great and there was hardly anything going on and much less traffic on the road because all the weather guys scared everybody off. So it turned out to be okay. Isn't that an interesting story? Would you like to buy the movie rights to that? [00:06:52] Speaker D: Well, you know, earlier today, just this afternoon, I was watching. There was very light traffic around like say 4:30 or so and. And I was watching people drive around, just happen the whole open road. And I was thinking, gee, wouldn't I like to be in a car right now and. [00:07:06] Speaker C: Do you have a car? [00:07:07] Speaker D: No, I don't have a car. [00:07:10] Speaker C: If you called me, I could have combined picture. We could have been. [00:07:13] Speaker D: We could have just driven around all afternoon. I would have thought you were safe. [00:07:17] Speaker C: If you wanted to ride in a car. And you have been so good and so loyal. The least I could have done was drive you around during the snow. [00:07:26] Speaker D: Well, that's the beauty about living in a world class city like Boston. We have subways, we can get anywhere we want. [00:07:32] Speaker C: That's right. You know what it's like in Panama City? [00:07:35] Speaker D: Not a subway to nothing. [00:07:36] Speaker C: Nothing, Nothing, nothing, nothing. People are standing there waiting for subway and everybody's afraid to tell them there aren't any. [00:07:42] Speaker D: Not so much the rickshaw. [00:07:45] Speaker C: Incidentally, one more thing and then I'll introduce you to other members of the panel. But there's an open casting call for Leave it to Beaver. They're gonna make a movie out of it. Leave it to Beaver. Universal Pictures is conducting a national talent search for boys age 7 to 13 to star in Leave it to Beaver. It says an all new feature film based on the classic television series of the 50s and 60s. This is the part that really gets me. The next line. No previous acting experience is required. That ought to be a hell of a movie. I wasn't a movie. I don't even speak English too well. But you know, I have a son talks just the way I do and he's between 7 and 13. If I could count. I'd tell you exactly how old he is, but I'm not really quite sure. [00:08:35] Speaker D: Sure I can, you know. [00:08:36] Speaker C: Gee, Wally, do you think we should tell dad about the car? We'll have to. I'd like to go on a pike night. A pig pike. Anyway, it's supposed to be a. It'll be a contemporary comedy about life as seen through the eyes of young Theodore Beaver Cleaver. And will be what mentions the producers and stuff. But the. The casting will be held Saturday. Not today, but next Saturday, February 25th of February 24th between 10 and 5 at Universal Studios. That alone has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? I have to go to Universal Studios. [00:09:23] Speaker B: I'm gonna. [00:09:24] Speaker C: I'm trying out for Leave it to Beaver pack and I don't know how to read or anything. Yeah. [00:09:29] Speaker D: Are you an actor? Not at all. [00:09:31] Speaker B: No. [00:09:31] Speaker C: I've had no previous acting experience at all. Matter of fact, it's 3900 Lankershim Blvd, Main Gate, Universal City. It says enter next to DMCA world headquarters. Two blocks north of Universal Terrace Parkway. Isn't that interesting? [00:09:53] Speaker B: Let me write that down again. [00:09:55] Speaker C: Okay. Universal terrace, okay. It's 7 to 13. If you know any 7 to 13 year old people who can't act, show up for the casting call of Leaving to Beaver next Saturday, the 24th, if they happen to be in Universal City. Because you're leaving here tomorrow. Because you're a little out of the age range, I suppose, just slightly. Yeah, maybe. Maybe. Not only do you not have to know how to act, but maybe you don't have to even be of that age. [00:10:24] Speaker B: I could kneel down a lot. [00:10:26] Speaker C: Yeah, you could. You could do that. Walk on your knees and talk with a higher voice. [00:10:31] Speaker D: Well, then you could also get a job in. In Tim Conway's little videos there too. [00:10:35] Speaker C: If you walked around. [00:10:36] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right. [00:10:39] Speaker C: Yeah, I saw those pictures. It's kind of funny. [00:10:41] Speaker B: Leave it to Dorf. [00:10:43] Speaker C: Yeah, I saw pictures of the. Was the character Jerry Mathers who played Beaver? Oh, yeah, and he's. Of course, he's a grown man now. Although he's got the same face but a much bigger body. [00:10:55] Speaker D: Same little hat. [00:10:58] Speaker C: And he still can't act. He couldn't act in that show either. Gee, Wally, dad wouldn't like that, I don't think. What do you. Wally, what do you. Help me with my paper route, okay? Because I forget where it's supposed to. With the paper. I can't read it anyways, you know. I don't know anyway. [00:11:18] Speaker D: Gee Bee, don't you think you're kind of goofy not to be able to throw a newspaper? [00:11:23] Speaker C: Golly. That was the most unrealistic program of all. With the. With June, always June Cleaver, always in a fog. I'm making chocolate chip cookies. I can't be bothered now by Bosnia, whatever the event is of that period. [00:11:44] Speaker E: Heard the boys, Ward. [00:11:46] Speaker C: They're hanging on your shoulder. [00:11:47] Speaker E: Oh. [00:11:52] Speaker C: And the father was just something special with me anyway. At least he had a job. We never knew what Ozzie Nelson did. [00:12:00] Speaker D: He was a professional loafer. [00:12:02] Speaker C: Anyway, let me introduce the members of the panel. We have twin brothers. I'll bet they sound a lot alike. Here's John. [00:12:08] Speaker F: Hi. [00:12:08] Speaker C: Hi, John. Where in Michigan are you? [00:12:11] Speaker E: This is Livonia. [00:12:13] Speaker C: Oh, that's right, Livone. [00:12:15] Speaker E: Right. Where nothing happened. [00:12:18] Speaker C: That's right. I mentioned having known some people from Livolia and they said it's the city where nothing happens every minute in the. [00:12:28] Speaker D: City that always sleeps. [00:12:30] Speaker C: That always sleeps. Yeah, that's right. You haven't made it until you have passed quickly through Livonia. Is it Livonia or Livornia? Not Livonia. Livonia, that's right. [00:12:44] Speaker E: Yeah. Remember the roots go from New Yorkers who came from England, from England to New York and then they came from New York to here. And that's why its name is Livonia. [00:12:57] Speaker C: Oh, and their name was Livonia. I didn't realize that's where he got the name. Okay, now you have a twin brother. You see is he has on a. He's on a different line, I guess. [00:13:07] Speaker F: Right. [00:13:08] Speaker C: Okay. Oh, I hit the wrong button. This is Bob and Peabody. We'll get to John to Jim in just a minute. The twin brother. I wanted to hear you both talk as. I have a feeling the voices are the same. [00:13:19] Speaker E: Not really. It's funny because you'll see. [00:13:23] Speaker C: Okay, well let me. Let me bring him on now then. Okay, Jim, John, let me see who we got. Now I'm mixed up. Oh, Jim. Hi. [00:13:30] Speaker F: Good morning, Norm. [00:13:31] Speaker C: I can't tell him. Yes, Say good morning, Norm. First John and then Jim. [00:13:37] Speaker F: Good, Norm. [00:13:38] Speaker E: Good morning, Norm. [00:13:40] Speaker F: Good morning, Norm. [00:13:42] Speaker C: Is there a similarity there? Sounds a little similar to me. [00:13:45] Speaker B: Oh, very similar. [00:13:46] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:13:46] Speaker D: I think they're related. [00:13:48] Speaker C: You think? Maybe, maybe they're not. They're probably cousins. [00:13:51] Speaker F: Gee, Norman, there's a gas leak at the bees house. Mrs. Cleaver seems to be enjoying it. [00:14:00] Speaker C: Dan said he'd give me a nickel. [00:14:02] Speaker F: For the movies, but cheapo Hugh Beaumont won't give. Won't let mom pay the check to the Gap. [00:14:11] Speaker C: Man. If you ever want to be out of touch with reality, just especially if you're not feeling well. If you got the flu or something and you're lying in bed, the best way to get away from the real world is just to watch Leave it the Beaver. Yeah, it's kind of funny. Hey, Bob in Peabody, how you doing? [00:14:28] Speaker E: Not too bad, Norman. You ever noticed that Ward Cleaver, no matter what he was doing, was always. [00:14:33] Speaker F: Wearing the same stupid sweaterman tie? [00:14:37] Speaker E: He could be digging out a septic tank and there's that damn sweater inside and. [00:14:42] Speaker C: And. And the mother always had a dress, no matter what. She was always dressed very well. [00:14:48] Speaker E: Yeah, you know, at 4 o' clock in the morning and stuff like that, she could have a hangover nearest breakfast. [00:14:55] Speaker C: I wish she did have a hangover and I wish he was threw up or something. [00:15:01] Speaker E: And I've got for you. [00:15:03] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:15:04] Speaker E: You're going to golf world. [00:15:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:15:06] Speaker E: Well, good. You're leaving Boston to go out with a whale with gas. Leave, you rotten kid. You know, I hate to see Ed. [00:15:16] Speaker F: Go, too, because, I mean, I think you guys are a great pair. Norm, give him a raise. See if money can be. [00:15:22] Speaker C: No, he can't be bought. I offered him. I offer him. [00:15:25] Speaker E: Elizabeth wouldn't do what you want. [00:15:26] Speaker C: Yeah, I. I offered him a 50 cent an hour raise. [00:15:29] Speaker E: Oh, what a guy. [00:15:30] Speaker C: Yeah, huh? Well, he'd be making nearly three and a half dollars hour now. How greedy can I get? [00:15:38] Speaker E: Oh, Jack. [00:15:39] Speaker C: Yes? You. [00:15:40] Speaker E: You don't have a car. [00:15:42] Speaker C: No. [00:15:42] Speaker E: You want to be doing traffic on the tees. [00:15:45] Speaker F: He's Ed Begley's brother. [00:15:48] Speaker C: That's great. He's a traffic guy. Reporting traffic and he doesn't even have a car. [00:15:52] Speaker D: I know how dangerous it is. [00:15:55] Speaker E: That's easy for you to say. [00:15:57] Speaker C: Yeah, but that doesn't always mean anything. Like Gil Santos, who does sports for us. I bet he doesn't have a fielder's glove. [00:16:07] Speaker E: Yeah, but I think he knows how to stick it. [00:16:10] Speaker C: Knows how to stick it? Did you say that? [00:16:12] Speaker E: I certainly did, Ollie. [00:16:14] Speaker F: Well, you know, you know about it. You know, I lived out in California for a little while. I missed the snow. I even missed rain and, you know, I mean, it's, it's. It's that old thing. You, you don't miss what you. [00:16:26] Speaker C: You miss? [00:16:26] Speaker F: Well, you never had. [00:16:27] Speaker B: Well, I, I don't know. I. I may end up missing it a lot and I may end up coming back, but it's. It's something I'm going to try for a while. [00:16:33] Speaker F: Well, you didn't grow up with it, probably, right? [00:16:35] Speaker C: No, I didn't. [00:16:35] Speaker F: And you didn't grow up sledding and, you know, skiing and, and even, Even if you don't participate in, like, winter activities, like if you live in New England, which you, you know, which you have been. And you. And Norm does, you know, you get. You get used to the four seasons. Well, right out in la, you know, they got a desert climate. I miss the fall. I missed the spring. I missed the change of the seasons. [00:16:56] Speaker C: No, actually, I was in Los Angeles. I have relatives in Marina del Rey and North Hollywood in that whole area. And I remember being out there in the fall, October, when you start getting a nip in the air, a little bit of a nip. It's still fairly warm. And I kept saying, I miss being back home. The nip in the air, cutting up of wood. I miss cutting wood. Getting ready for the winter. [00:17:19] Speaker F: You don't smell the leaves. You know the burning and. And you know the certain fragrances of fall. [00:17:25] Speaker C: Oh, that's right. [00:17:26] Speaker D: You know, one thing you also haven't lived unless you've done is as a kid to have been bundled in so many clothes that you can't move any of your limbs or your head. [00:17:36] Speaker F: And you still. You still lose your mission. [00:17:38] Speaker D: Yes. [00:17:38] Speaker F: Even with those little clip ons, you've. [00:17:40] Speaker D: Got one frozen hand and the rest of you is just boiled and they can't move. [00:17:44] Speaker F: You know, I just noticed something. [00:17:46] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:17:46] Speaker E: We're nearing commercial break. We haven't even. We haven't even got introduced the fourth. [00:17:51] Speaker C: Member of the panel yet. No, we haven't. I'm gonna do that right this minute. He probably feels neglected. It's Pete and Lawrence. Hi, Pete. [00:17:59] Speaker E: Hi, Norm. Hi, Pete. Hello, Pete. Hi, Pete. Hi, everybody. [00:18:03] Speaker F: Hello, John boy. [00:18:05] Speaker C: Yeah, you're in pretty fast company, Peter. Hope you keep up with it. [00:18:10] Speaker E: The twins do sound different, Norm. [00:18:12] Speaker C: Oh, shut up. [00:18:18] Speaker F: To be bold, I'd like to say hello to Arle. I heard her that one night. [00:18:21] Speaker E: Oh yeah, very nice. [00:18:23] Speaker C: Yeah, Eileen is. Was she from Indiana or someplace? [00:18:26] Speaker F: Philadelphia, I think. [00:18:27] Speaker C: Oh, Philadelphia. That's right. That's right. [00:18:32] Speaker F: And she's got two, two guys on the line. I'd like to be to the third. We got one in some place in Pennsylvania and another in Kansas City. And. Oh, and Kristen. Kristen, she should call in more often. [00:18:45] Speaker C: Oh, Kristen is fine. Yes. [00:18:46] Speaker F: Yeah, I mean, you know, certain radio voices, your own and Kristen, you know, she should do answering machine voices for, you know, say you send your tape and she puts a message on. [00:18:56] Speaker E: She just has a very pleasant voice. [00:18:59] Speaker C: She does. She does have. She's a very pleasant lady. I like her a lot. She's okay. [00:19:06] Speaker E: Ladies and gentlemen, the Catholic Hour will. [00:19:08] Speaker F: Not be until 5:30. [00:19:10] Speaker C: No, no, it's not on today anyway. That's not until tomorrow. No, we're until 5:00' clock this morning. U.S. sinners, we may not even get into. We may not even get into the game till then. [00:19:20] Speaker E: What do you mean us sinners? [00:19:22] Speaker F: Okay, speak for myself. You know, I wonder if Jerry Mathers has a son that could play the newbie. [00:19:28] Speaker C: That would be funny, wouldn't it? [00:19:33] Speaker F: Don't worry. Don't worry, babe. You'll never find out. [00:19:36] Speaker C: Hey, I've got to get another commercial. Unfortunately, this happens to be the Washington or the President's Day weekend and all car companies have sales and stuff. You know, this is when they start plugging stuff. So we get a million automobile commercials. [00:19:51] Speaker F: Speaking of that. Yeah? My brother, I've been telling about that Dinger. Dinger commercial. [00:19:55] Speaker E: I love that. [00:19:57] Speaker D: Thousand years. [00:19:58] Speaker F: Yeah, well, I mean, I've been listening. [00:20:01] Speaker C: Yeah. How does Dinger do it? Oh, usually lying on his right side very often. [00:20:09] Speaker D: Anyway. [00:20:10] Speaker C: Hold on a minute. We'll be right back. It's Subichi. Where the wind comes right behind the rain. Where you're doing fine. Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi. O M I T S U B I S H I. Mitsubishi. You're a mouse. Now wait a minute. Don't do that. [00:20:38] Speaker E: Hey, Norm. [00:20:39] Speaker C: Yes. [00:20:40] Speaker E: I think we ought to give a new award at the end of the game. [00:20:43] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:20:44] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:20:44] Speaker E: The people at the end of the game that get the worst. You ought to get the silly old Pook Award. [00:20:50] Speaker C: Okay, Norm. [00:20:52] Speaker F: Keep, Keep using your tag. [00:20:53] Speaker E: I like that, Old Sport. [00:20:55] Speaker F: I really like that. And one day I was listening to you and Bob Rally was on next, and you didn't use it. I kind of. [00:21:02] Speaker C: I was. [00:21:02] Speaker F: I was hanging on, waiting for you to say good night, old sport. [00:21:06] Speaker C: Yeah, I guess I was kind of running kind of late night. It just drifted out of my mind, you know? You know where that l came from? [00:21:12] Speaker F: No, but my. My grandfather used to use it. Used to sign the cards from the Old Sport. [00:21:17] Speaker C: Did he really? Because actually it comes from the twenties. That so. That's right. It was. I. I came across it reading F. Scott Fitzgerald's the Great Gatsby. And that's a lot of his stuff was, was the 20s. Oh, he wrote about stuff from the 20s. [00:21:31] Speaker F: Now my grandfather was born in 1899, so, yeah, he would have been impressionable. [00:21:37] Speaker C: That's right. He would have been part of that generation. And there were a lot of expressions in the 20s, and that was them. And again, it was. I. I remember reading the Great Gatsby, which I love, and Gatsby called everybody old sport. I thought, hey, I kind of like that. [00:21:53] Speaker F: How Racy was the book. I never put the time in to. [00:21:55] Speaker E: Read that particular book. [00:21:56] Speaker F: How Racy was that book? [00:21:58] Speaker C: No, not, not really. Racing. No, no. [00:22:00] Speaker D: Of course, you have to remember that Norm patterns his life on. On, on that whole F. Scott Fitzgerald thing. [00:22:06] Speaker C: That's right. I was going to move to Long island and live in a mansion out there like, like the great Guest we did. [00:22:13] Speaker E: Where's Jack Benny fit in? [00:22:15] Speaker C: Well, Jack Benny. Jack Benny would have been from that era also. [00:22:18] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:22:19] Speaker C: Yeah. I could have. I could have lived in a. In the Great Gatsby's Mansion in Long island and talked like Jack Benny. Excuse me, are you, you know, the old sport or what? There's no wait. There's no reason we couldn't blend all of that. [00:22:36] Speaker F: Yeah, like, what's that movie, Slaughterhouse Five where the guy is dreaming of being on another planet. You know, Norm could be dreaming that he's in the great. You know, the Great Gods. [00:22:48] Speaker E: He's a garage house or he's a. [00:22:50] Speaker F: Chauffeur or something or. [00:22:51] Speaker C: That's right. You know, I wrote the book after Kurt Vonnegut was on the show. You know, with me. You know, am I sounding. I'm sounding hysterical now. Have you noticed, once again, it goes. [00:23:09] Speaker E: To show that people in Livonia do live lonely lives? [00:23:14] Speaker C: You don't know lonely till you lived in Middleton, Massachusetts. [00:23:18] Speaker E: I know what it's like. [00:23:19] Speaker C: Oh, I see. Okay. That's right. Bob. Bob is from Peabody, which is right next door. [00:23:24] Speaker F: And when Buchanan shows up, tell him to go to his mountain resort. [00:23:28] Speaker C: Oh, I see that Buchanan. Okay. [00:23:30] Speaker F: I'm the goose step through his mountain resort. [00:23:36] Speaker C: I guess we. I guess we fixed him. Anyway, let's. Let's guess. Let's see. [00:23:40] Speaker F: Somebody should. [00:23:41] Speaker C: Is this. [00:23:42] Speaker F: Do you have any children? [00:23:44] Speaker C: Hey, listen, is this not the dumb birthday game? Should we not get on with some birthdays? [00:23:49] Speaker E: What do you think? 25 minutes of 3? [00:23:51] Speaker A: 4. [00:23:51] Speaker C: Okay. Hal Holbrook was born on this very day. He's in. He's in Boston now, as a matter of fact. That's right. Doing not too great Gatsby, but. But Arthur Miller's play. Yeah. [00:24:06] Speaker F: What's that he's doing? Catty kills him after dark with sister what's her name? [00:24:11] Speaker C: That's right. [00:24:12] Speaker F: I tried to get my brother to hear that commercial. And then. Then you guys took it off. [00:24:16] Speaker B: Yeah, it came back on the show, came back to Boston and now it's. I think she's gone back to Chicago now. The woman that's doing that. [00:24:23] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. It was playing in both cities at one point. Anyway, Hal Holbrook. John, what do you think? How old is Hal Holbrook? [00:24:32] Speaker E: I think he's 67. [00:24:33] Speaker C: 67, okay. He was on a soap opera in the very early days of television. I can't remember the name of the soap opera, but there was a lady in it whose name I can't think of either, who I lusted after. So every time I look at Hal Holbrook, I think of this dark haired, beautiful lady with the great legs. [00:24:52] Speaker D: Every time you see Hal Hoobert. [00:24:53] Speaker E: Hal Hobers. Ledge. [00:24:54] Speaker F: Right. [00:24:58] Speaker C: Well, I'm trying to get really excited about that to make my life fuller, but it's not working very well anyway. But he was on the soap opera. The first time I'd ever seen him. Then he. Remember he did Mark Twain. He did the One man show. Mark Twain, yes. [00:25:15] Speaker E: But his greatest claim to fame was in one of Chevy Chase's finer vehicles, Fletch Lives. [00:25:22] Speaker D: Was he in there? [00:25:23] Speaker E: Yeah, he plays the Southern, kind of like town mayor. Oh, yeah. [00:25:29] Speaker F: He's in Rambo films, too. Yeah. [00:25:32] Speaker C: Is he in Rambo? [00:25:35] Speaker E: Are you confusing him with Crenshaw? [00:25:38] Speaker F: Oh, you're right. I'm sorry. [00:25:41] Speaker C: You're right. You're absolutely right. I know. He played Mark Twain on Leave it to Beaver. One. [00:25:48] Speaker F: Cleaned his clock. [00:25:51] Speaker C: That's right. No, June. No, she and June Beaver, or June Cleaver, rather, had an affair. [00:25:59] Speaker E: There's a line there somewhere. [00:26:01] Speaker C: Yeah. And Mr. Cleaver came in and said, I don't think you should be doing that. I'm going back to the office now and talk with the guys. As soon as I talk with Beaver. [00:26:12] Speaker F: Didn't you Baumart become a. A Catholic. [00:26:19] Speaker E: Priest? [00:26:20] Speaker C: Yeah. Priest. [00:26:20] Speaker F: Didn't he become one? [00:26:22] Speaker C: No, no, I mean being actually a real priest, you mean. [00:26:25] Speaker E: Yeah, he. [00:26:26] Speaker F: He either was one before. Before he began. [00:26:28] Speaker E: Oh, no, no. I think you might be thinking of. [00:26:30] Speaker C: Alan Young with Mr. Red. [00:26:31] Speaker F: He became a. [00:26:32] Speaker C: No, no. [00:26:32] Speaker F: I'm thinking he was ordained a Catholic priest. I believe that's the fact. [00:26:38] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:26:40] Speaker E: After doing such a scandalous show. [00:26:43] Speaker C: Yeah, that's right. [00:26:44] Speaker F: Well, you notice the bed? They never showed the bedroom. [00:26:47] Speaker D: So what they call him Father Dad. [00:26:50] Speaker F: Bill Cosby's gonna turn that. [00:26:52] Speaker C: Now cut that out, would you? Let's get on with this thing. Jim, how old you think Al Holbrook is? [00:26:57] Speaker F: Hell, Holbrook, I believe is 72. [00:27:01] Speaker C: 72. Bob. What? Bob. Bob. Oh, Bob. What do you think? [00:27:09] Speaker E: Who cares? [00:27:11] Speaker C: I don't care. [00:27:12] Speaker E: 65. [00:27:13] Speaker C: 65. You know, because one of you is going to get some of these taste tasteless prizes, you know. [00:27:19] Speaker F: Well, I'm gonna get my cheesy prize from January 7th. [00:27:22] Speaker E: Norm. [00:27:25] Speaker C: You don't have. You don't have that yet? [00:27:26] Speaker E: No. [00:27:27] Speaker C: And this is. Jim, you never got that? No. [00:27:29] Speaker F: Has a postal person covered by price? [00:27:34] Speaker C: I don't know. I don't know. I tell you what. At the end, I'll turn you back to Ed and he'll take your name and address. I'll get something out of it. [00:27:41] Speaker B: I'll take care of it for you, okay? [00:27:43] Speaker F: I'm not Worried I'm just send me a postcard. [00:27:45] Speaker E: Say hey. [00:27:46] Speaker F: Or a picture. I want to see what you look like. [00:27:48] Speaker C: Norm, you're never going to see that. What do you look like, Norm? [00:27:53] Speaker F: I'm a heterosexual. [00:27:56] Speaker C: Sure. Right. Okay. Anyway, Pete, how old do you think Hal Holbrook is? [00:28:01] Speaker E: I think I'll say 70. [00:28:02] Speaker C: 72. Also. 72. Also. And Ed? [00:28:05] Speaker B: 66. [00:28:06] Speaker C: And what do you think, Jack? [00:28:08] Speaker D: 71. [00:28:10] Speaker C: 71 is exactly right. Exactly right. 70. Son of a gun. [00:28:16] Speaker F: You know, that old thing always go with your first impression. Yeah, I was, you know, I was teetering on 71 and I just said 72. Probably because I'm pre. Preferential to even numbers. [00:28:28] Speaker C: Okay. You all. You had. People said 72. You were. Couldn't be much closer than that. Margaret Truman Daniel, of course. The daughter of Harry Truman, married to Clifford Daniel of the. Formerly of the New York Times. She was born on February 17th. Also. Jack, how old is Margaret Truman Daniel? Margaret Truman Daniel was so lovely. Remember her father wrote a letter to that guy with the Washington Post who gave her a bad review for her singing. The critic was right. She never really could sing too well. [00:29:04] Speaker D: Well, I don't remember it when it happened. [00:29:05] Speaker C: No, but, but Harry, you've heard of it. Harry Truman was irate and sent him a letter. This is from the President of the United States saying something about he's going to break his nose or, you know, and smack you right in the face or something like that. He was. It was so human. I think everybody loved him for that. [00:29:22] Speaker D: Well, didn't someone recently say something about Chelsea Clinton or something? And didn't. Didn't the President go into a tirade? [00:29:28] Speaker E: No, it was about Hillary. [00:29:29] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:29:32] Speaker D: That'S right. [00:29:33] Speaker E: Called Hillary a genital liar. And so Bill fought back. [00:29:38] Speaker C: She's a great little piano player. Okay. Margaret Truman Daniel. Jack, how old is she today? [00:29:48] Speaker D: I see. Let's see. When was Truman the president? I was in. [00:29:52] Speaker C: Truman was a president. He was president. 1948 is when he beat Dewey. He had been finishing out. He'd already been president a little bit because he took over upon the death of Franklin Rose. [00:30:04] Speaker F: Hey, Norm. [00:30:04] Speaker C: Yes. [00:30:05] Speaker F: Not to interrupt and make it longer, but how come I always want to know when people name off, like, the greatest presidents. [00:30:11] Speaker C: Yes. [00:30:12] Speaker F: They always include Harry Truman. [00:30:13] Speaker C: Yes. [00:30:14] Speaker F: Now, I. I understand fdr, and I. [00:30:16] Speaker B: Understand. [00:30:19] Speaker F: My grandfather thought Calvin Coolidge was one of the best because he always. He always kept his mouth shut and you couldn't tell if he was a fool or a genius. [00:30:27] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Silent cow. [00:30:29] Speaker C: Yeah. And he didn't believe he was a true libertarian. He didn't do anything. He sat around with his finger up his nose. [00:30:37] Speaker E: No wonder we couldn't say nothing. [00:30:40] Speaker C: He's David Bradno's favorite president, Calvin Coolidge. [00:30:44] Speaker B: But. [00:30:44] Speaker F: But you lived in the era. How come Truman has gone down as one of the greatest presidents? [00:30:49] Speaker C: Oh, he did quite a lot. He. Some of the programs that were passed during his administration, I think saved a lot of Europe from going communist when he. He had the aid to Greece and Turkey, he had the Marshall Plan, which kind of really revived Europe. And plus, I think it was very human. And also. [00:31:09] Speaker F: Yeah, he didn't take any guff. He kind of had the attitude where. And he also. What, walked around the White House outside? [00:31:16] Speaker C: Yeah. Oh, yeah. He used to walk and we used to walk at a brisk pace and the reporters had to move to keep up with him. He also. He was the one who said, the buck stops here. He had a sign there. He, you know, he took full responsibility. He was an interesting man. [00:31:31] Speaker F: He kind of had a Mark Twain kind of personality, in a way. [00:31:34] Speaker C: He came from nothing. He was a haberdasher. He was a bankrupt haberdasher. He never was successful in business. He was set up by the Pender gas machine out in Kansas City. But despite whatever. Whatever anybody thinks of the Pender Gas machine, and there were some questions about just how. How legitimate it was, he really broke off from them. What Prendergast was like Tammany hall in New York. It was an organized political setup or. [00:32:03] Speaker F: Like daily in Chicago. [00:32:04] Speaker C: Yeah, in a sense, like. Yeah, like not the current mayor. [00:32:08] Speaker E: Right. [00:32:08] Speaker C: But the one his father, Richard. [00:32:10] Speaker B: This was in Kansas City, though. [00:32:11] Speaker C: This was Kansas City. The Prendergast. Well, not Pendergast. Prendergast, but he split off from that. And also he had. He had gone against the Ku Klux Klan, which was having some rallies in Missouri, and a whole lot. He did a lot of things. I mean, he was an amazing guy. And he came really from nowhere, suddenly became president only because he got to be vice president because nobody wanted. I forgot the other guy who was. Who had been vice president before. [00:32:40] Speaker B: No. [00:32:41] Speaker C: Was it Landon? [00:32:41] Speaker B: Was it Alf Landon? [00:32:42] Speaker E: No, no, no, no. [00:32:43] Speaker C: Al Flandon was a Republican who ran against Roosevelt in 1936. [00:32:49] Speaker B: Oh, okay. Well. [00:32:50] Speaker D: And couldn't have been. [00:32:51] Speaker C: Who only got Vermont and New Hampshire. [00:32:53] Speaker F: At least Stevenson ran against Eisenhower. Right? [00:32:56] Speaker C: That's right. In 1952. Yeah. You know, and again in 56. Also in laws. Both times. [00:33:01] Speaker F: You know, Muriel Como is kind of reminding me of Adley Stevenson. He's a very bright man. [00:33:05] Speaker C: Yes. [00:33:06] Speaker F: And he kind of, he admitted on a Lauren Hutton interview last night that he kind of missed his mark. He regrets not running in 1990, I mean 92. [00:33:14] Speaker C: I saw that, I saw that program. I thought that was very interesting. [00:33:17] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:33:17] Speaker C: Yeah. Cuomo, I think is an incredibly remarkable man who, he said he didn't want to be on the Supreme Court because he was offered, apparently offered it or had a chance to become a member of the U.S. supreme Court. And he said, I don't want to sit around, you know, with judicial opinions. He wants to go out and do something. And at the moment, I guess mostly he's doing his radio show. [00:33:36] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:33:37] Speaker C: Which is, is it carried out where you are in Michigan? [00:33:40] Speaker F: We have a, we have a local station out in Ann Arbor which would be perfect. They have the G. Gordon Liddy show on sadly and people are calling in and, and saying that they're going to boycott the advertisers and, and you know, Ann Arbor is a very open minded liberal town and they sell more books in, in Washington County, Ann Arbor, the area per capita than anywhere in the country. Anyway, this radio station owner who, who his big claim to fame is, he says he's friends with Richard Nixon. Not now, but when the man was living. He carries degor and Liddy and I told him he should either have Jerry Brown or Mario Como show on and it fell on deaf ears. [00:34:19] Speaker E: They want to push their conservative agenda just like WJR in town here. It's just, it's really getting bad because you came and get a fair balance here in town. [00:34:28] Speaker C: Is that, is that true? WJR has a lot of conservative talk hosts. [00:34:32] Speaker F: WJR Norm stands for We're Just Republicans. [00:34:35] Speaker E: Really. [00:34:35] Speaker C: Wow, that's interesting. That's pretty much the trend of the whole country. [00:34:40] Speaker F: And the Republicans from Indiana and you. [00:34:42] Speaker C: Know, well, even, Even here at BZ we have, we have 10 hours from 7 o' clock at night till 5 in the morning with two very conservative guys. Bob Raleigh. Bob Raleigh is conservative and so is David Breadnall. [00:34:58] Speaker E: Go beyond the headlines. So I wish it would actually read. [00:35:00] Speaker F: The stories instead of just last night he had callers calling it about the Kennedy conspiracy and he would, you know how he expects callers to have an open mind to everything. He wouldn't even listen to. He cut off like three callers in a row. Wouldn't even let him state their opinion. [00:35:17] Speaker E: Tacky. He's rude and he's tacky. But you know, I wish BC can. [00:35:21] Speaker C: Do better than that. [00:35:22] Speaker E: They can get someone who actually is civil and has some class and dignity to him. [00:35:26] Speaker F: Normally he does, but what my point is that he wouldn't even listen to the possibility of the facts that people are pouring out about the Kennedy assassination. [00:35:34] Speaker E: Getting as cheap as his pens. Jim. [00:35:39] Speaker F: Run out of ink. It wasn't even a week and it dried up. [00:35:44] Speaker C: I don't know. I don't even know what I'm. What we're doing. It's almost. It's almost. It's almost 10 before 4 o'. Clock. We haven't even gotten to the second name yet. [00:35:55] Speaker F: Okay, Norm. [00:35:55] Speaker C: All right. [00:35:56] Speaker F: Harry Truman was a great man. Now you've enlightened me. [00:35:58] Speaker C: Yeah, no, he was. He was not thought of that. He. When he. When he left office, everybody. What a bum. What a. Well, that same thing with, with Abraham Lincoln. None of these guys were thought great during their day. [00:36:10] Speaker F: Abraham Lincoln has more movies made of him than any other president thus far back to Bob Raleigh. [00:36:16] Speaker C: Okay, Margaret Truman. Daniel here. Jack Hart. What do you say? How old is she anyway? [00:36:20] Speaker D: Oh, Margaret Truman. Daniel. [00:36:22] Speaker C: Yeah. No, no. Start thinking too much. Now we look at all the time we gave you to think about this. [00:36:29] Speaker D: Well, if I. If I had to make a guess, I would say he's doing it anyway. [00:36:33] Speaker C: 60. [00:36:35] Speaker D: Hey, listen, I've been sitting here quiet. [00:36:37] Speaker C: For the last half hour and we. [00:36:38] Speaker F: Thank you, we appreciate it.

[00:37:30] Speaker C: Oh, is that right? [00:37:31] Speaker F: Yeah. He came in and Richard does a routine or he used to. And he came in. He always. His big line was what you gonna do? What you gonna do? [00:37:41] Speaker E: Rich. [00:37:41] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:37:42] Speaker F: And Rich kind of ignored him and became a human Roman candle. [00:37:47] Speaker E: Didn't Jim Brown used to play for the Redskins too? [00:37:50] Speaker F: Cleveland Brown? Was it Cleveland Brown? [00:37:52] Speaker C: He played. He may have been. He may have played for somebody besides. But I always think of them as a Cleveland Browns player. Okay, let's start with you, Bob. How old do you think Jim Brown is? [00:38:02] Speaker E: 57.

[00:41:56] Speaker C: Oh, that is so beautiful. [00:41:58] Speaker E: Last night. [00:41:59] Speaker F: It's called the Insultinator. And I thought, you know, I. I normally don't, you know. Impulse buying. I saw this little girl playing with this at a. At a drugstore. And. And she was having so much fun. I said, hey, I never had one when I. When I was a kid. And I don't know, I just had to have it. [00:42:19] Speaker E: That's 12 bucks you ever spent, right? [00:42:20] Speaker C: Hey, listen, hold on just a minute. I got another Washington's birthday special coming up, and we'll be right back. But you tell me the year. This is a little historical thing here. This happened also in February. 17. 17. You tell me what year. [00:42:36] Speaker F: You don't want it, Norm, do you? [00:42:38] Speaker C: What's that, please? [00:42:39] Speaker F: That machine. [00:42:40] Speaker C: Oh, it sounds great. [00:42:41] Speaker F: No, you know. You know. You know, geek. When I heard the voice, that kind of reminded me, I said, is no Nathan Moonlighting? And I said, good. Westinghouse. They probably don't pay him enough. [00:42:55] Speaker C: They really don't, because I'm, you know, like Mo Vaughn and some of these others. Grace, you know. Anyway, the first issue of Newsweek magazine was published on February 17. What year would that have been? John, what do you think? [00:43:12] Speaker F: John, come on. [00:43:13] Speaker E: Yeah, Newsweek. That's got nothing to do with journalism these days. Eighteen thirty seven. [00:43:26] Speaker C: 1837. Wow. [00:43:27] Speaker E: That girl. [00:43:28] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:43:29] Speaker E: Why not for Newsweek? [00:43:30] Speaker C: Why not? Okay, Jim, what do you think? [00:43:33] Speaker F: I think, like. I think it's the early 1900s. I'm gonna say 19. Nineteen. 1921. [00:43:45] Speaker C: 1921. Okay, Bob, what do you say? [00:43:48] Speaker E: 1938. [00:43:50] Speaker C: 1938. And, Pete. [00:43:53] Speaker E: Oh, 1926. [00:43:56] Speaker C: Ed. [00:43:57] Speaker B: 1881. [00:43:58] Speaker C: 1881. And, Jack. [00:44:02] Speaker D: Back then it was Newsth weeketh. [00:44:09] Speaker C: Thou shalt subscribe. [00:44:11] Speaker D: Yes, Peopleeth in the newseth. Let's see. [00:44:16] Speaker F: All the news is not fit to print. [00:44:20] Speaker D: 1952. [00:44:23] Speaker C: 1952. Actually, it was 1933. Yeah. Not too long after a time I think came out a little bit before then, too. [00:44:32] Speaker F: Right after the Depression. [00:44:34] Speaker C: Yeah, well, during the Depression. Matter of fact, 1933. We're right in the midst of it because Time. I think one of their first covers was Franklin Roosevelt. So they came out about the same time, maybe a little bit before. [00:44:46] Speaker F: Was that the one with him with the jaunty jaw and the. The cigarette. [00:44:50] Speaker C: That's right, the cigarette to hold her. [00:44:52] Speaker F: Kind of like waving from the back. [00:44:53] Speaker C: Of the little lorgnette. The little glasses and stuff. That was. That was the guy. That was 39. [00:45:00] Speaker E: Time had Hitler was the man of the year, didn't they? [00:45:02] Speaker C: Yeah, well, a little. Yeah. Around 39. That. That would have been about then. Yeah. [00:45:06] Speaker F: Are we going to have you cannon this year? [00:45:12] Speaker C: Let me tell you who won this one. Let's see who came the closest. Bob said 38, which was five years off. Pete said 26, which would have been seven years old, I guess. No, it'd been Bob. Bob. Got that. Got that round. So 1938, the second. Second would have been Pete. We said 26. And then Jim, Jim, you said 1921, so it would have been that order. However, Jack has got three. [00:45:45] Speaker F: That was a good question. All the guesses were like way across. [00:45:48] Speaker C: The board from 1837 to 1952. Okay, one of you, you said did not get get the prize. Was that. That was you, Jim, wasn't it? Hey, hang in there and Ed will talk to you. Take your name and address. We'll get it out to you. I gotta go because the news is just about ready to come on. [00:46:08] Speaker F: Norm, it's a pleasure.
