So here we are at episode 278. It's a dumb birthday game from March 7, 1992, titled the same but Different. And you'll hear why. It begins as Norm checks the traffic with Jack Hart. We get a show open and then the dumb birthday game open. The players, the whispery Stacy from Boston, Pat in Melrose, Mike from Peabody, Ontario, Rick in Boston. I'm producing and on the phone for Master Control and Jack in Traffic.
Now, some of these birthdays are gonna sound an awful lot like a recent episode, except these come with all the sound effects. Lord Snowden, Daniel J. Travanti, Peter Wolf, Yvonne Lendl, one Willard Scott. Then we jump to March 11th for Lawrence Welk and Sam Donaldson.
Post game calls, the one and only Pat, then Tony in St. Louis and sometimes from Cape Cod. We get quite the treat here in commercials. The flower show, a promo for First Day with Dave Maynard, and then the itchiest, rashiest, peeliest gold Bond commercial ever.
Then we hear again from Dave Maynard, but this time he's with Nancy Kerrigan for the Swim for Sight and the Federal jobs Digest episode 278. The same but different sorts its way to your ears in 3, 2 and 1.
[00:02:04] Speaker B: The Boston temperature right now outside our WBZ studios, 35 degrees.
Six minutes after 3 o'. Clock. And we'll check on traffic.
And Jack Hart will is actually, actually we'll check on traffic with the WBC 24 hour traffic network.
[00:02:23] Speaker C: Yes, indeed.
[00:02:23] Speaker B: Yes. That's the whole introduction. That's the whole thing.
[00:02:26] Speaker C: Thank you. You know, I got a call from, from a, from one of my sources a little while ago that it turns out that the Tappan Zee Bridge was only a second choice name for that bridge in Westchester. It was originally going to be the Soft Shoe and Zee Bridge.
[00:02:42] Speaker B: Tappan Zee, Soft Shoe and Zee. Yeah, yeah, I see. And that came from a source, eh?
[00:02:47] Speaker C: That came from a source, yeah.
[00:02:48] Speaker B: Whose voice was prob similar to your own. I'll bet you you've been sitting there for this past half hour dreaming that one up.
[00:02:57] Speaker C: Well, no, I thought of it before, actually, but I. I didn't have the courage.
[00:03:02] Speaker B: Well, good for you then. Bad for you. Now. I'll just. I'll sit back and wait for your traffic thing, okay?
[00:03:10] Speaker C: All right.
[00:03:13] Speaker B: Why am I cursed with these interns?
Sorry.
[00:03:18] Speaker C: At any rate, no, we're doing just nicely in the roadways.
Less than sober motorists out and about, so watch for them. If you're traveling northbound on the expressway, you'll have a little bit of a tough time getting off at Neyland Street Mass pike exit as a result of work crews narrowing that lane down quite a bit. If you're trying to get onto the expressway heading northbound from Frontage Road, do remember to get on by East Berkeley Street. If you go down to Broadway, you'll find you can't get on there. You'll have to go around in a circle traveling southbound on the Central Artery. And in the South Station tunnel, you'll find the left lane. Work crews until about 5:30. And if you're traveling northbound on the Central Artery, the lighting equipment involved with that might be a bit of a distraction. The Sumner and Callahan tunnels, one lane in each, close down until 5:30. That's for some overnight maintenance, bulb changing, wall washing and so forth. Outside of the city, routes 128 and 495 doing well. And indeed we are still dealing with accidents in New York City. The Triborough Bridge is shut down and the Long Island Expressway is shut down as a result of accidents. And another accident being cleared off of the so Shenze Bridge, Interstate 287 in Westchester. I'm Jack Hart, WBZ 24 Hour Traffic Network.

[00:09:17] Speaker H: Good morning, Norm.
[00:09:18] Speaker B: Good morning. Have you played the game before?
[00:09:22] Speaker H: Long time ago.
[00:09:23] Speaker B: Oh, okay. Well, nice to have you back again.
[00:09:25] Speaker F: Thanks.
[00:09:25] Speaker B: And Tony's with us. Hello, Tony.
[00:09:27] Speaker F: Hello, Norm.
[00:09:29] Speaker B: Oh, you can do better than that. For heaven's sakes, you sound dispirited. You sound like you're unhappy, Tony Nesbitt.
[00:09:35] Speaker H: Maybe I am.
[00:09:38] Speaker B: Oh, don't do this to me.
Maybe I am.
[00:09:42] Speaker H: It was that first couple of hours, Norm.
[00:09:44] Speaker B: Well, we had.
[00:09:44] Speaker H: Still trying to recover from it.
[00:09:46] Speaker B: Well, we had serious talk. Okay? Just. We just were in our gay, you know, erase that word. We weren't our light hearted, frivolous youthful selves.
[00:09:58] Speaker H: And it was a good change.
[00:10:00] Speaker B: No, what I was trying to do is I try to get people to talk serious so I could show another side of me, the serious side. And it was wonderful.
[00:10:09] Speaker H: Bring Jack in. Could you bring Jack in now? I'm ordering you to do.
[00:10:12] Speaker B: Okay. Because we're done with you, Tony.
[00:10:15] Speaker H: Well, I have a witty thing to say, I hope.
[00:10:17] Speaker B: Jack. Hello?
[00:10:18] Speaker H: Hello.
[00:10:19] Speaker B: Jack Hart, ladies and gentlemen, WBZ24 traffic network.
Yeah, go, go right in. All right.
[00:10:27] Speaker F: Thank you.
[00:10:28] Speaker H: Jack.
[00:10:28] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:10:29] Speaker H: I was wondering if you understood why they call it the tap and see bridge.
[00:10:32] Speaker C: Why do they call it the tap and bridge?
[00:10:34] Speaker H: Because of structurally, you know, when they test it, they tap and see.
[00:10:41] Speaker B: That's almost as good as the soft shoe and Z bridge.
[00:10:45] Speaker F: Very witty.
Thank you.
[00:10:48] Speaker B: I think we should all take up
[00:10:51] Speaker C: crocheting and then we could be knit. Witty.
[00:10:56] Speaker B: Tony went to the Jack Hart School of Comedy and dropped out quickly.
And Jack should have dropped out too, if you really want to know the truth.
I sounded like a drunken Jack Betty. Then what would Jack Betty sound like if you Were drunk. All right, Sister, would you drive from me? Because I'm 39 and I celebrated too much.
Okay.
[00:11:22] Speaker H: It's the best imitation of a drunk
[00:11:24] Speaker B: Jack Benny I've ever heard. I've never heard anybody do that before.
Anybody else drunk? You want to hear. You want to hear a drunk Arthur Godfrey who nobody remembers what he sounds like anyway?
[00:11:35] Speaker F: Sure.
[00:11:36] Speaker B: Okay. Well, with my ol. I can't find the strings.
[00:11:43] Speaker F: No, no.
[00:11:44] Speaker H: For an encore presentation, a drunken Lionel Barrymore.
[00:11:47] Speaker B: Lionel Barry.
I'm gonna throw up.
George, baby, I think we get a whole new act going here.
[00:12:02] Speaker C: Norman does drug personality.
[00:12:05] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
I met with G. Roberts to share the world.
I think I've exhausted that.
[00:12:16] Speaker F: I think we all need a little seltzer.
[00:12:18] Speaker B: A little seltzer in the pants, please.
Oh, that felt good. Oh, that was nice. Oh, that was good.
[00:12:24] Speaker F: So give me a tall Cooper there.
[00:12:26] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:12:27] Speaker C: A little song, a little dance. A little seltzer in your pants.
[00:12:30] Speaker B: That's the line.
[00:12:32] Speaker C: That's my motto.
[00:12:33] Speaker B: Okay. Okay. Let's start with Lord Snowden. Anthony Armstrong Jones. He's a photographer. He still married to one of the royal family? Like, was it Prince? Who's he married to? Princess Margaret for a while, or is he still. Anybody know?
[00:12:48] Speaker C: He was married to Princess Margaret and then he switched over to one of the other sisters.
[00:12:52] Speaker B: You're making that up.
Anyway, you know Lord Snowden. Anyway, they're not married anymore. Are they not.
[00:12:59] Speaker H: Are they separated? No, they're divorced.
[00:13:02] Speaker B: They're divorced.
[00:13:03] Speaker H: That's a pretty heavy separation then.
[00:13:05] Speaker B: Yeah. Is Prince Margaret. Is she married to anybody else now?
[00:13:10] Speaker H: She's living the single life, I think.
[00:13:12] Speaker B: I don't know many royal members of the royal family who divorce and then marry somebody else. Somehow that seems to be against their code.
Code? How about a Jack Benny with a code?
Oh, Rochester, do you have it?
Anyway, Stacy, we'll start with you, Stacy. Lord Snowden Anthony Armstrong Jones. This is kind of tough, I know.
But you're so adorable that people don't care whether you know it or not.
Maybe you do know it, but I don't.
[00:13:46] Speaker F: Okay, lord, let's say 53.
[00:13:52] Speaker B: 53.
Now, you must be more positive, Stacy, as you go through life. The idea is you can fake your way through a lot of things if you pretend you really know. Even if you don't, you just say it positively. Nobody knows. They don't know a lot of people. You said, oh, 53.
Everybody after you would be saying ages around that. But now that you're hesitant, why don't I shut up? Okay.
I think my lecture is going for north.
[00:14:23] Speaker F: Lord Snowden.
[00:14:25] Speaker B: Pat. Yeah. What do you. Lord Snowden. How old would you say he is?
[00:14:28] Speaker F: 64.
[00:14:29] Speaker B: 64. Okay.
And Mike in Peabody, Ontario, Canada.
[00:14:36] Speaker F: 75.
[00:14:37] Speaker B: 75.
We have quite a wide range here.
And if Rick says 93
[00:14:46] Speaker H: now, I'm
[00:14:48] Speaker B: gonna have more seltzer in my pants.
[00:14:50] Speaker F: I'll go for the big six zero.
[00:14:52] Speaker B: For the big six zero. Okay. And Tony?
[00:14:55] Speaker H: 12. 12.
[00:15:00] Speaker F: 63.
[00:15:02] Speaker B: 63.
Okay.
[00:15:06] Speaker C: And Jack, the man who was. Before he was promoted to Lord Snowden, he was Earl Rainleigh.
[00:15:14] Speaker B: And then before that, I suppose Duke Ellington was also Count Basie.
[00:15:20] Speaker D: Well, no, no, no, Earl.
[00:15:22] Speaker H: See, snow and rain.
What you said was funny, but it didn't have to do with the weather.
[00:15:27] Speaker B: That's true. I didn't even catch that part of it.
[00:15:30] Speaker H: I hate when I have to explain things.
[00:15:32] Speaker C: Yeah, it was count fingers for a while anyway. That's when he worked in the sawmill.
[00:15:38] Speaker B: Count fingers.
[00:15:41] Speaker C: I'll say he's 60. 63.
[00:15:44] Speaker B: 63. Same. You're gonna say same as Tony said. I don't know why. Okay, yeah, sure.
Pay attention.
[00:15:50] Speaker C: Sounds good.
[00:15:51] Speaker B: You don't remember Tony saying that? Because you don't pay any attention with Tony. No, I do recall whenever Tony speaks, Tony, nobody listens.
Okay, the actual age of Lord Snowden. Anthony Armstrong Jones, formerly married and maybe still but separated, but we don't know, to Princess Margaret. And he now is a photographer and has been all these years. His actual age is.
[00:16:20] Speaker H: This is the only thing British I can find.
[00:16:30] Speaker B: It was a heavy fog in Soho when I went there solving a cry.
Boy, that was awful, wasn't it?
[00:16:42] Speaker H: There was a little twinge, a little dash of Couso in there, I think.
[00:16:48] Speaker C: Now let's hear him with a cold.
[00:16:50] Speaker B: Lord Snowden.
Anyway, the actual age of. With a coat.
Lord Snowden or drunk. You want to hear my imitation of Lord Snowden? Drunk.
Never mind.
Anyway, the actual age of Lord Snowden. 62.
Which means that Tony and Jack both had 63.
Yeah. Those are the two winners on this. That first round.
How about Daniel J. Travanti? Remember he was Captain Furullo. Was it for Furillo on Hill Street Blues and has appeared some other things. I still look at him like he's Captain Furillo. That's who it is. He did that so well. Jack, we'll start with you. How old is Daniel J. Travati? This very day.
[00:17:41] Speaker C: This very day.
[00:17:43] Speaker B: Captain Furillah. March 7. Born on March 7. March 7. March 7. He.
57. 57, says Jack Hard. And what Saith you, Tony Nesbit.
[00:17:56] Speaker H: Yo, what was that, Jack? I wasn't paying attention this time. Did you say 57?
[00:18:01] Speaker B: Yes. Yeah, yeah.
[00:18:05] Speaker H: 56.
[00:18:06] Speaker B: 56. Okay. And Rick, what do you think?
[00:18:10] Speaker F: I'll say 53.
[00:18:13] Speaker B: 53. And what do you say, Mike?
[00:18:17] Speaker F: No, you're not that old. I'd say 48.
[00:18:19] Speaker B: 48 years old. Okay. You see pretty much the same television shows we do, don't you? Up in Canada you see Hill Street Blues and all that.
Probably not anymore. No, not now. Well, it may be on rerun somewhere, but.
[00:18:34] Speaker F: Yeah, on the Buddies.
[00:18:35] Speaker B: Okay.
Pat, what do you think?
[00:18:38] Speaker F: 55.
[00:18:39] Speaker B: 55. And Stacy?
[00:18:42] Speaker F: 54.
[00:18:43] Speaker B: 54.
Okay.
[00:18:46] Speaker C: I think we got a full house.
[00:18:47] Speaker B: I think we do. I think we do. You get just about every age cover.
Let's check on the actual age of Daniel J. Trevanti.
Well, it is. This was a cops and robbers drama too.
Yeah.
[00:19:05] Speaker H: We don't have to just put the Hill street theme on it.
[00:19:10] Speaker B: Los Angeles, California.
There are 7,346 miles of plumbing.
My job fix the leaks. I'm a plumber.
Also clean the toilets.
I had to say that.
[00:19:38] Speaker H: I don't know why.
[00:19:39] Speaker B: Okay. I think we've. We've gone as far as we can go with that. Ladies and gentlemen. Daniel J. Trotty's actual age is 52 years old. Years young or something. Rick has said 53, so he is the closest.
Congratulations, Rick. 53 years old was a good guess. Just one year off.
Very little reaction on that, Rick. You're apparently not.
[00:20:07] Speaker H: I'll play next year and I'll be exactly right.
[00:20:10] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right.
Remember what you guessed this time and next year we'll do it again. That's right.
Okay. Peter Wolf, the singer.
Pardon me?
[00:20:20] Speaker H: A former singer of the J. Giles.
[00:20:22] Speaker B: Man of the St. Jay. God. He left and he was successful for a while. He hasn't done much lately though.
[00:20:28] Speaker H: Wouldn't say was successful.
[00:20:31] Speaker B: Has he. Is he going to recording coming out now, Tony?
No.
Any. Has he had anything lightly at all?
[00:20:38] Speaker H: Last year he released another record which was okay, but for some reason it just. He never caught fire again. He tried critic critics love him, but it just doesn't sell that many. I think in Boston he sells a lot.
[00:20:53] Speaker B: But was he successful after he left? Jay Giles. Jay Giles. Was he successful with anything after the first record?
[00:21:00] Speaker H: The time is moderately successful.
[00:21:02] Speaker C: Yeah. I think he needed the. The rest of the band with him.
[00:21:06] Speaker B: Just the image as well.
What's that?
[00:21:11] Speaker F: Must be getting on age.
That's Mike me.
[00:21:15] Speaker H: I think that that's his new album title.
[00:21:17] Speaker B: Oh, I see.
[00:21:17] Speaker H: I must be getting on.
[00:21:19] Speaker B: Age.
Okay. Is that you, Mike, saying that?
[00:21:22] Speaker F: Yes, I'm saying that.
[00:21:23] Speaker B: Well, that's. You're. Okay. Are you from Canada originally?
[00:21:26] Speaker F: Yes, of course.
[00:21:28] Speaker B: No, you sound like you have a kind of a British accent.
[00:21:30] Speaker F: Well, I have a Scottish descent.
[00:21:33] Speaker B: Oh, that's why I have a British accent. Because you have Scottish descent?
[00:21:38] Speaker F: Yes, I have. Yeah.
[00:21:39] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:21:40] Speaker F: Way back.
[00:21:40] Speaker B: Okay, let me ask you, then. You take the first shot at that. How old is Peter Wolf today?
[00:21:44] Speaker F: Well, I'll say about.
Well, Jay Giles band. I used to listen to them when I was younger, when they were the Cars.
I'll say.
[00:21:57] Speaker C: Let's see now, the Jay Gile Band
[00:22:00] Speaker F: was the cars, 70, late 70s, early 80s. He must be about.
Oh, I'll say 49.
[00:22:12] Speaker B: Okay.
When you say the Cars, you're thinking of that other guy. What's his name?
[00:22:18] Speaker H: Rick Ocasich.
[00:22:18] Speaker B: Yeah. Ric Ocasich.
[00:22:20] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:22:20] Speaker F: Oh, yeah.
[00:22:22] Speaker B: Who's not? Peter Wolf.
[00:22:23] Speaker F: Oh, okay. Well, I'll still stay 49.
[00:22:27] Speaker B: Okay. Either way, you think the. That kind of.
That mathematical little device that you just use would apply to either one of them?
[00:22:35] Speaker D: Whatever.
[00:22:36] Speaker B: Okay, Stacy, what do you say? Peter Wolf, what do you think you're going to say? I don't know. I never heard of him.
[00:22:44] Speaker F: Maybe he's not that old.
[00:22:45] Speaker B: How old?
[00:22:46] Speaker F: 50.
[00:22:47] Speaker B: 50. Okay.
And Rick, what do you say?
[00:22:54] Speaker F: I'll say 46.
[00:22:56] Speaker B: And Jack Hart, what do you say?
[00:23:00] Speaker C: Actually, Peter Wolf can often be seen walking the streets around the. The traffic tower.
[00:23:06] Speaker B: Is that right?
[00:23:07] Speaker C: Yeah, absolutely.
Running into the supermarket and so forth.
[00:23:11] Speaker H: He may even be listening.
[00:23:13] Speaker B: Walking the streets of the traffic tower.
[00:23:15] Speaker C: Not around the traffic tower. And the. In around.
[00:23:18] Speaker H: Boy, those albums weren't too successful.
[00:23:20] Speaker B: So he's walking.
[00:23:21] Speaker C: He's walking the streets.
[00:23:22] Speaker B: I see. Okay.
[00:23:23] Speaker C: But he.
[00:23:25] Speaker B: 45. 45.
Okay. And Pat, 43.
And Tony 44. 44. Okay. Now it's time to figure out the. The winner.
[00:23:36] Speaker H: I'll see if anybody gets this.
[00:23:37] Speaker B: Okay.
Peter Wolf.
Is that reference to a record he's made?
Wendy stuff? No, Wolf.
Yeah.
[00:23:52] Speaker H: Oh, I didn't have a Howling Wolf, so I said Howling Wolf.
[00:23:56] Speaker F: Oh, yeah, I could tell you.
[00:23:57] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, I see.
[00:23:59] Speaker C: That's a howl.
[00:24:03] Speaker B: Well, that was really very nice. That's about as subtle as you can get, isn't it?
[00:24:07] Speaker H: Oh, it certainly was.
[00:24:09] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:24:09] Speaker H: I think I pulled something stretching for that one.
[00:24:14] Speaker B: Okay. The actual age of Peter Wolf is 46, which is what Rick said.
He hit it right on the butt. Man. That's two out of Three for Rick and one for Tony and one for Jack and Ivan Lendle, the tennis player.
Yvonne Lendl.
[00:24:31] Speaker I: I'm sorry?
[00:24:32] Speaker B: Yvonne Lendl. Why does that sound like a Yiddish accent?
Hello, I'm Yvonne Lendl.
Anyway, how about we'll start, we'll start with you, Pat. How old is Yvonne Lendle?
[00:24:45] Speaker F: 33.
[00:24:46] Speaker B: 33, okay.
And Tony, what do you say?
[00:24:52] Speaker D: 31.
[00:24:55] Speaker B: 31.
[00:24:57] Speaker C: Jack, you know, one time he got into in trouble with his, with his mother, and you might say he got in hot water and they ended up with Lendl soup.
[00:25:07] Speaker H: Did you pull something?
[00:25:08] Speaker F: Searching for that one.
[00:25:10] Speaker C: Sorry,
[00:25:12] Speaker B: we're all sitting here just sicken to our very core with that line, Lendl's soup. If that isn't reaching, man, that's what I mean.
[00:25:21] Speaker F: He pulled something,
[00:25:24] Speaker C: I would say, out of 41.
[00:25:27] Speaker B: Is that your question or that's your statement? 41. Okay.
41. Okay. And because he's still playing tennis now.
Oh, well, never mind. He already guessed.
Let me ask Stacy. How old is Yvonne Lando?
32. Okay. And Rick, I don't know why I'm laughing. I, I just don't know why I'm laughing. I don't know. Honest to God. I swear to God, I don't know why.
Anyway, Rick, how old is Yvonne Lando?
Never mind. What age is 11?
[00:26:05] Speaker F: I'll try 34.
[00:26:06] Speaker B: 34, okay. And what do you think, Mike?
[00:26:11] Speaker F: 29.
[00:26:12] Speaker B: 29. Okay, let's check and let's see what kind of lovely sound effect Tony comes. Oh, son of a gun. If it's not a tennis match.
[00:26:23] Speaker C: Sounds like a tennis match in a truck.
[00:26:28] Speaker H: Is everyone's head going back and forth now?
[00:26:30] Speaker B: Yeah, everybody's looking from one side to the other.
Yvonne lendl is actually 32, which is what Stacy said.
So Stacy guessed that right on the button. That's very good, Stacy.
Did you know that, or was that a guess?
[00:26:47] Speaker F: That was a guess.
[00:26:49] Speaker B: It was a very nice guess. Do you talk this way all the time?
[00:26:54] Speaker F: I, I, I don't know. I mean, I just have a particular voice. Do you know?
[00:26:59] Speaker B: Oh, I mean, the sexy kind of subtle, sultry voice. That's just for us and for me. Is that right?
Otherwise you have a shrill, loud, piercing voice.
No, I can't.
Otherwise you talk that way.
[00:27:15] Speaker F: No.
[00:27:16] Speaker B: Okay.
Okay. You know whose birthday it is today?
[00:27:20] Speaker H: Also quiet.
[00:27:22] Speaker B: I know that didn't go. That didn't seem to go anywhere, did it?
They said, let's give to the guy the old man is flirting with some young kid. Let's back up and give him room.
He's liable to have a heart attack.
That's right. Okay. Willard Scott. You know today's Willard Scott's birthday?
[00:27:42] Speaker H: I do now.
[00:27:43] Speaker B: Yeah. Willard Scott, who's on every commercial ever made in the past few years.
[00:27:48] Speaker F: We don't get him up here.
[00:27:50] Speaker B: Oh, he's on.
[00:27:50] Speaker H: Oh, what a lucky guy.
[00:27:52] Speaker B: Not on anything. Well, you. Don't you. Well, you get the Today show up there, don't you? No. The Today show on NBC. You don't get that?
[00:27:59] Speaker F: No.
[00:27:59] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:28:00] Speaker F: Unless you have cable.
[00:28:02] Speaker B: Oh, I see. Okay. And you don't get. You don't get his talent. He's got a talent show.
[00:28:07] Speaker F: But I'll take a wild guess at 54. Is it my guess?
[00:28:10] Speaker B: No, it's not your guess at all.
[00:28:13] Speaker H: I bet you they have riot pan plots up there.
[00:28:17] Speaker B: I'll mark you down for 54, though.
[00:28:19] Speaker F: Okay, 54.
[00:28:20] Speaker B: 54. Okay. And you want a long sleeve with that 54 waist.
[00:28:26] Speaker H: That's about as a waist size.
[00:28:28] Speaker B: Okay. But he's very tall, so the pant leg should be at least 23 inches along.
[00:28:33] Speaker C: Well, that's why. That's because he likes to get some.
[00:28:37] Speaker F: I had a triangle.
[00:28:39] Speaker B: I don't know.
[00:28:41] Speaker H: True value.
[00:28:42] Speaker B: True value.
[00:28:43] Speaker C: Well, he does a. Williams. Willard Scott does a True Value commercial.
[00:28:47] Speaker B: Yeah, well. And Scott does that. Yes, that's right. And. And he also.
He also does a couple of TV shows. Besides the Callum Scott, he does some other cockamamie show. That's really awful.
[00:29:00] Speaker H: You know, I think that's the subtitle, actually.
[00:29:02] Speaker B: I'm glad.
Are you speaking English, Mike, or is that your native Scottish language?
Because I didn't follow that.
Norm.
[00:29:18] Speaker H: Another character in Norm.
[00:29:19] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:29:20] Speaker H: Repertoire.
A drunken Mike.
[00:29:25] Speaker B: I'm gonna ask Jack Hart how old he thinks Willard Scott is this very day.
Today's March 7, his birthday, and the fat guy is.
[00:29:35] Speaker C: And we have a picture of him there. And just look at him. Just look at him. He's got good color.
[00:29:39] Speaker B: Look at. You know, I keep looking at his shirt, and he buttons the top button. So that must mean that the collar size is about 900ft around.
No, he buttons the top button, which is really something.
Well, of course, because. Hi, boys and girls. I go to the big fat man shop.
[00:29:58] Speaker C: Well, there's a reason why he buttons that top button. One time his shirts came back from the cleaners and he went into his wife, he said, look at this. They shrunk the collar again. She said, you've got your head through the buttonhole.
Thank you.
[00:30:15] Speaker G: Thank you.
[00:30:16] Speaker B: Please, a little more.
[00:30:17] Speaker H: You're gonna be in traction if you keep reaching with me.
[00:30:20] Speaker B: How old would you say, Willard? Scottish fella?
57.
[00:30:26] Speaker C: I didn't do any good with that last time, so I'll try it again.
[00:30:29] Speaker B: Okay, 57. No, that's right. You did 57 he gave to Daniel J. Trevanti.
[00:30:35] Speaker H: That's an answer with a lot of variety. Yeah, 57.
[00:30:38] Speaker B: 57. A lot of variety. Oh, yes.
[00:30:41] Speaker H: I think I just pulled another one.
[00:30:43] Speaker B: Tony, what do you think?
While you're regaling us with wild, ribald humor, how about a guess at Willard Scott's age?
[00:30:55] Speaker F: 56. 56.
[00:30:58] Speaker B: 56. Okay.
[00:31:01] Speaker H: I think that's about how many toupees he has.
[00:31:04] Speaker B: Yes, he has. That's right.
One for every day of the week.
[00:31:08] Speaker C: This is I need a haircut wig.
[00:31:11] Speaker B: Hey, Pat, what do you say?
[00:31:12] Speaker H: 61.
[00:31:13] Speaker B: 61. And Stacy?
60. And what do you think, Rick?
[00:31:22] Speaker F: I'll go with 55.
[00:31:24] Speaker B: 55. Okay, let us actually check the actual age.
Very good.
The NBC theme song written by John Williams. Not the guy who lives in Bethune, the real John Williams.
Okay. Willard Scott is actually 58.
And so Jack Hart, who said 57 would be the closest.
Yeah, Very, very good there. Very good, Jack. That's okay.
How about. We'll do a couple from next Wednesday. The 11th people born on the March 11th.
One of them is Lawrence Welk. Do you know the name of his very first band while he was still up?
You don't have to like his band, but you would.
Even though I may not like Lawrence Welk's orchestra and never have liked his style of music, I do think he is a totally repulsive character.
I made that up. I've never even met the man. He's probably very nice, but he was. He's from North Dakota, same as Peggy Lee and a few other people.
And his first band was called the Hotsy Totsy Boys.
That seems appropriate.
No joke. That was actually the name of his.
[00:32:49] Speaker H: No, no, I just thought of something.
[00:32:50] Speaker F: I'll have to.
[00:32:52] Speaker H: I must refrain from using that joke.
[00:32:54] Speaker B: Was that a sexual reference to the hot sea part?
[00:32:57] Speaker H: Well, maybe.
[00:32:58] Speaker B: Maybe.
[00:32:59] Speaker H: I'll let you know later on off the air.
[00:33:01] Speaker B: I see. Okay, Lawrence, welcome.
[00:33:04] Speaker H: And people can send donations and I can write them little notes of what I was going to say and make them out to Tony Nesmith,
[00:33:12] Speaker B: care of some other radio station. Maybe, if you're looking.
Okay. Is that a question from Mike now, Norm?
[00:33:19] Speaker H: Isn't he dead?
[00:33:20] Speaker F: Yes, I'm still here.
[00:33:22] Speaker B: Lawrence Walkers. No, he's still alive.
And how do you define Death underground?
No, no, just his music has been dead for a lot of years and.
[00:33:34] Speaker F: Oh, that's great music. The polka.
[00:33:36] Speaker B: That's. Hey, the polka. Now, let's see. Let's start with you, Rick. How old do you think Lawrence Welk will be? Wednesday, March 11?
[00:33:47] Speaker F: Wow.
70.
[00:33:51] Speaker H: I think he's dead.
[00:33:52] Speaker B: No, no, he's still alive.
But if he were dead, he would be 79.
[00:33:57] Speaker F: Lawrence Walk is alive and living in Hunter Bay, Ontario.
[00:34:02] Speaker B: Yeah, no, because you know, you know how they. They were asking him. In fact, it was. It was on television about two days ago. They were asking, in fact.
Yeah, but. No, but he was on a new show. Sidecar reruns.
No, he was on a couple of days ago and they were asking. They said, you know, there's a lot of crime and a lot of ugliness in big cities and everything.
Mr. Wilk, what do you think of all this violence?
[00:34:32] Speaker F: I say to. Is it my turn?
[00:34:34] Speaker B: No, I'm doing a bit now.
Shut up while I do stick.
So they said, what do you think of. What do you think of the violence? And he said, I like a violence. I like a cellis. I like Trump.
[00:34:49] Speaker F: Okay, I want a two.
[00:34:51] Speaker B: Oh, shut up with a one and two. I just did hilarious material and you're gonna do a cheap, fifth rate, sleazy imitation of Lawrence.
My program. I don't win. I don't win awards for that kind of a line.
Okay, let me pull myself together here. Okay, Stacy, how old do you think Lawrence Welk is? Will be 74.
Pardon me?
[00:35:15] Speaker F: 74.
[00:35:16] Speaker B: 74, you said? Okay, you say, it's so nice that it would be a pleasure to be 74.
Just because you say it so lovely.
Say it once more.
[00:35:27] Speaker F: No, no.
[00:35:29] Speaker H: Okay, once again, it got real quiet.
[00:35:32] Speaker B: Yeah, it really did, guys.
[00:35:34] Speaker H: Give him room.
[00:35:35] Speaker B: Okay. How about you, Pat? How old do you think Lawrence welk will be?
[00:35:39] Speaker F: 85.
[00:35:40] Speaker B: 85. Okay. Do you know he owns nearly all of Los Angeles? I think through the years he's bought lots of real estate and he's a very wealthy man, except musically, where he's poverty stricken.
Anyway, Tony, let me ask you, how old. How old do you think Lawrence welcome to be.
[00:36:01] Speaker H: 86.
[00:36:02] Speaker B: 86.
[00:36:03] Speaker F: And Mike, I say about 81.
[00:36:07] Speaker B: Okay. Is that live or dead?
[00:36:11] Speaker F: Memory alive and living in Thunder Bay.
[00:36:14] Speaker B: Okay. Jack Hart, how old do you think Lawrence Welk will be?
[00:36:18] Speaker C: He's gonna be wonderful.
[00:36:20] Speaker B: Wonderful. 93. 93. Is that what you say? 93. Okay, let's check. And I hope to God that Tony does not have any music By Lawrence Weltus. He would be playing it. Oh, God, he does.
If it's not Lawrence Wel, it's an imitator.
[00:36:39] Speaker H: And what a better flattery.
[00:36:41] Speaker C: What do you do?
[00:36:42] Speaker H: If I'm a Lawrence Wel imitator, I haven't got paid for an accent in 10 years.
[00:36:51] Speaker B: This is the one polka that was once written about about 50 years ago. And it's given many different names, but it's the only polka ever written.
[00:37:00] Speaker H: I think they wrote this on the old Tappan Zee Bridge.
[00:37:03] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right. Matter of fact, it's called the Tappan Zee Polka.
Very much like the Soft Shoe Polka.
It's called the Wall Washing and Bulb Changing Polka.
[00:37:26] Speaker H: I saw them doing that on the way in. It was great.
They wear masks when they change the ball.
[00:37:35] Speaker F: I don't know.
[00:37:36] Speaker H: I don't know if it's because they don't want to be.
[00:37:38] Speaker F: No.
[00:37:39] Speaker H: But something toxic in the tunnel.
[00:37:41] Speaker B: No, I think what it is, is they're ashamed of their jobs. They don't want you to recognize them.
[00:37:45] Speaker H: That's what I mean.
[00:37:46] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, you said that. Okay.
[00:37:49] Speaker H: Said it in some uninterpretive tone, I see.
[00:37:54] Speaker B: Okay. I'm just trying to interpret it in some slick, smooth manner.
Lawrence Welk actually will be 89 years old. Let me figure who's the closest with that one now.
I think it's. I think. Well, yeah, that's right. You said 86.
That's right.
And he also beat Pat because Pat had 85.
[00:38:19] Speaker C: And.
[00:38:20] Speaker B: Okay, 80, 86 would be the closest. Very good.
That means that. Okay, well, I got one more for you. Let's run down the scorecard now, folks.
Stacy has one, Rick has gotten two correct. And so has Tony, and so is Jack.
[00:38:39] Speaker C: I have a one and a two.
[00:38:40] Speaker B: So we have a three way tie there with Rick, Tony and Jack Hart all have three.
[00:38:47] Speaker H: That was a little bit of the guy from Cal Burnett there. What was his name? Yeah, Tim Conway. Mr.
[00:38:53] Speaker B: I love Tim Conway. Yeah.
[00:38:54] Speaker C: That's between him and the Swedish Muppet Show.
[00:38:57] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:39:05] Speaker H: What was the character's name? Tim Conway's character when he played that Mr. Mr.
[00:39:12] Speaker F: Tut.
[00:39:13] Speaker B: Thank you. Okay, next Wednesday, the 11th. This is an exciting thing for anybody born March 11th to know that they were also born on the same day that that's the. Also the birthday of Sam Donaldson.
Yeah. His birthday is next Wednesday. Also one of the ugliest men in news. Do you think so? Wow. He's an interesting man. He has a. He does have a face that looks like it's painted on more than real. I don't know why. Why that is.
[00:39:44] Speaker H: He reminds. Actually, I think that's why he looks like Sam the eagle from the Muppet Show.
[00:39:53] Speaker B: I think he's got a little. Kind of. A little elephant kind of face.
Maybe elephant isn't the right word.
[00:40:04] Speaker C: I don't know.
His don't look like an elephant to me.
[00:40:12] Speaker B: So what do you think of violent slimes?
[00:40:16] Speaker D: I like a violence.
[00:40:17] Speaker F: I like a cello.
[00:40:18] Speaker B: I like elephants too, very much. Thank you.
Anyway, the actual age of Sam Donaldson. Let's start with you, Stacy.
How old will Sam Donaldson be on March 11?
And to the republic for which it stands?
[00:40:39] Speaker F: I don't have any idea.
61.
[00:40:44] Speaker B: 61 for Sam Donaldson.
Okay.
Do you sometimes envy him for having. For working with Diane Sawyer? Isn't she a fantastically lovely looking lady?
Seems to be a lack of response. And what it is, we can't interpret it.
[00:41:05] Speaker H: I heard a beep right after you finished that like Harper Mox walked in the room or something.
[00:41:11] Speaker B: I'm sorry, she's on. She's on call waiting.
Wouldn't that be interesting for a talk host to have call waiting? Well, anyway, let's think of the humorous angles on that one.
[00:41:26] Speaker H: That'll be the topic the next hour.
[00:41:28] Speaker C: In a second while I get this other call.
Your shoes are ready.
[00:41:35] Speaker B: Okay. Pat, how old do you think Sam Donaldson will be?
[00:41:39] Speaker F: 56.
[00:41:40] Speaker B: 56? You're not even laughing, Pat. I noticed a very serious tone in your voice.
[00:41:46] Speaker H: He's still suffering from that inside crotch body lifting sweat.
[00:41:49] Speaker B: That's right. At the Hotel Ovary.
Mike, what do you think?
[00:41:56] Speaker F: Well, I'll say these fellows seem like they're having a party within themselves.
I'll say 59.
[00:42:06] Speaker B: You'll say 59 for Sam Donaldson.
[00:42:10] Speaker H: I can't stop laughing.
[00:42:11] Speaker B: Okay, and let's see. Rick, what do you say?
[00:42:16] Speaker F: I'll try 53.
[00:42:19] Speaker B: You'll try 53. And if it doesn't work, you could try something else. Until something begins to work and gels.
[00:42:26] Speaker H: You can try the next rack. And we have a lovely black tweed suit,
[00:42:33] Speaker C: fully returnable.
[00:42:36] Speaker B: How about this one? The sleeves are a little long, especially the left sleeve. It was owned by a trombone player.
I think it'd look good on you. Huh? Let me. Wait a minute.
[00:42:45] Speaker H: You've opened up a whole Pandora's box now. Do they actually tailor suits a little bit longer for trombone players?
[00:42:51] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
[00:42:54] Speaker C: For ones with specifically long range, yeah.
[00:42:56] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah. Glenn Miller. Did you ever notice, for example, his left arm was Much longer than his right arm.
[00:43:05] Speaker F: I can play some for you now, Laura.
[00:43:08] Speaker B: I beg your pardon?
[00:43:09] Speaker F: I could play some Glenn Miller for you.
[00:43:12] Speaker B: I don't think that'll be too necessary right now. But you're so kind to ask. I know.
[00:43:17] Speaker F: You got it.
[00:43:18] Speaker B: Yeah. Tony, let's talk over this guy, okay? Because he's losing us. Okay, Tony, what do you think? How old will Sam Donaldson be?
[00:43:27] Speaker H: 56. Sounds good.
[00:43:28] Speaker B: 56 sounds good. Okay.
[00:43:30] Speaker H: Someone else said that.
[00:43:32] Speaker B: I believe Pat said 56 years.
And Jack Hart. What do you say?
[00:43:37] Speaker C: You know, I believe Glenn Miller could scratch his ankle without having to crouch.
[00:43:43] Speaker B: That's true. Yeah.
[00:43:44] Speaker C: That was absolutely only on one side, though.
I would say Sam Donaldson is only
[00:43:50] Speaker B: on one side, though.
[00:43:51] Speaker H: He could fold his arms twice.
[00:43:52] Speaker B: Did you know that?
[00:43:53] Speaker C: The one long arm. He could fold his arms twice.
[00:43:56] Speaker B: Yes.
57. 57.
Matter of fact, there was a group called Trombones Incorporated. There really was. In fact, there was Saxophones Incorporated. There's a whole series.
[00:44:10] Speaker H: But the Trombone Violence Incorporated.
[00:44:12] Speaker B: No, but.
No, but I was thinking of a whole, you know, like seven or eight trombone players or 10 or 12 trombone players all playing.
In fact, I think there's a trombone band in Boston.
That would mean.
Where am I going with this?
I. Forget it. I know where I'm going. I don't want to go there.
So let's instead check Sam Donaldson, who actually has both arms equally lengthy.
And this is the. I guess everybody catches onto this. The fact that it's sound of a busy newsroom and the teletype just pouring in the news.
Oh, watch this just came in hot.
[00:45:00] Speaker F: Dude.
[00:45:01] Speaker B: There's violence in the Lawrence Weld band.

[00:47:19] Speaker H: Here's my favorite part, when I get to hang up on you.
[00:47:22] Speaker B: Okay. Go right ahead.
[00:47:23] Speaker H: Okay.
[00:47:25] Speaker B: What a sore head that is.
Okay. Be back in a minute or two.
[00:47:30] Speaker J: Today we're talking to people from all across America about their skin problems. Here's William Santa of South Bend, Indiana.
[00:47:36] Speaker F: Just dry, itchy skin.
[00:47:38] Speaker B: It gets bad sometimes.
[00:47:39] Speaker F: I guess it's movement of the fabric of my shirt against my stomach.
[00:47:43] Speaker H: Also on my feet.
[00:47:45] Speaker F: I have a problem, the ankles and the instep.
[00:47:49] Speaker B: It starts itching from getting too dry.
[00:47:52] Speaker J: And Sharon Doherty of Redding, Pennsylvania, told us this about her problem.
[00:47:56] Speaker E: I have problems with taping RA that itched and had raised spots on it. And it gets red and peely. Like in the beginning, it itches, but then it got really sore at one point.
[00:48:10] Speaker F: It was terrible.
[00:48:11] Speaker J: And Sandra Herrod of Alvin, Texas, told us this.
[00:48:15] Speaker F: I have allergies and my skin is very sensitive. It was a chafing, a rash, irritation. It itched and it was. Was very sore and very uncomfortable for two months. Had just been absolutely miserable.
[00:48:31] Speaker J: But they all got relief using therapeutic Gold Bond medicated powder. Gold Bond's triple action formula is like three gray 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. William Santa, what do you think of Gold Bond Medicated Powder?
[00:48:51] Speaker D: I think Gold Bond's a great product.
[00:48:53] Speaker B: It does what it says it'll do, Eliminate itching and promote healing.
[00:48:58] Speaker J: Sharon Doherty, how did Gold Bond work for you.
[00:49:00] Speaker F: Gold Bond is like gold to me.
[00:49:03] Speaker E: Well, it's the only thing that helped me. It took care of the itching almost immediately. To me, it just is a soothing, cooling feeling.
[00:49:11] Speaker J: And Sandra Harrod, what do you have to say about therapeutic Gold Bond Medicated Powder?
[00:49:16] Speaker F: We have just been amazed at how quickly it worked. I mean, bamboo Gold Bond powder is fantastic and I would highly recommend it.
[00:49:25] Speaker J: Well, you heard it from people all across America. Get triple action Gold Bond Medicated Powder for your skin problems today. Use only as directed. Available at CVS stores.

Okay, let's. Ladies and gentlemen, the Mr. Pat with I'll bet you a very exciting question.
Pat, how you doing?
[00:50:57] Speaker D: Fine, thank you. How are you?
[00:50:59] Speaker B: Fine, thank you.
[00:51:00] Speaker D: Oh, my mother. My mother always, always says, when anybody asks, you always say fine, thank you. Whether you feel good or not. So you always say fine things.
[00:51:09] Speaker B: Even if you feel badly, you're still supposed to say fine.
[00:51:12] Speaker D: When is Jordan Marsh moving from Boston?
[00:51:16] Speaker B: I didn't think they were moving from Boston.
[00:51:19] Speaker D: I heard it on tv, that's why.
[00:51:22] Speaker B: Oh, TV doesn't know anything. They just make up stories. You can't believe anything you see on tv.
[00:51:27] Speaker F: Well, that's why I'd like I heard on tv.
[00:51:32] Speaker D: And this is not to worry that they plan on putting more employees in New York?
[00:51:43] Speaker B: No, there are a lot of Filene stores in the suburban areas as well as the Boston store. So they're pretty much entrenched here. I can't imagine they're going to pick up and move all their stores out of New England or out of Boston. No,
[00:51:58] Speaker D: I don't think it included the ones in the suburbs.
[00:52:02] Speaker F: But it's just.
[00:52:03] Speaker D: Just the one in Boston.
[00:52:04] Speaker B: The one in Boston?
[00:52:05] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:52:06] Speaker B: I don't know about that. You. Maybe you're right. I don't. I hadn't heard that.
[00:52:09] Speaker D: Well, that's why I wanted to know if I was right and probably somebody else could probably heard it also.
[00:52:15] Speaker B: Well, I guess so. That would be a big story. Wait a minute. Now. This is. Did you say Filenes?
[00:52:20] Speaker D: No, no. Jordan Marsh.
[00:52:21] Speaker B: Jordan Marsh. Okay. I'll tell you about.
[00:52:23] Speaker D: Where's Santa Claus gonna be.
[00:52:25] Speaker B: Oh, okay.
[00:52:26] Speaker D: And everybody. Everybody will stop giving presents this Christmas.
[00:52:29] Speaker B: I do have the information on just that you're asking.
[00:52:32] Speaker H: Okay, thank you.
[00:52:33] Speaker B: Okay. Jordan Marsh's parent company says it will consolidate the department store chain's headquarters with New York based Abraham and Strauss, a move that could prompt hundreds of layoffs under the consolidation. Here's the part you're asking about.
Jordan Marsh, New England's oldest and largest department store chain, will keep its name, but all operations will be run out of ANS headquarters in Brooklyn.
And the consolidation is set for April 1st.
Federated Department Stores, Inc. Which owns both stores, says the move would eliminate duplication of operations like administration. Is that. Does that mean they're moving out of Boston or what?
I don't quite get.
[00:53:18] Speaker D: That's what I understood.
[00:53:20] Speaker B: And it says here Federated will decide next month how many of the 500 employees in Jordan Marsh's downtown Boston headquarters will be offered jobs in the combined company.
But jobs and lives will be negatively affected by these moves in Boston and New York, said one fellow who is the fella. Federated Chairman Alan Questrom said that.
And so I guess they are. I guess they're moving out. Jordan Marsh's 5,300 other employees will not be directly affected.
They filed for bankruptcy last year ago January. Company has closed four Jordan Mars stores as part of its attempt to make its.
Its chain more competitive. He did not expect any more Jordan Marsh stores to close, but I guess you're right. I guess they're. They're going to. The.
Doesn't say that specifically, but.
Yeah, it doesn't. Doesn't. Doesn't say specifically that they're closing the Boston store.
They would. They would. They're going to consolidate the store's Headquarters in New York.
So they will eliminate maybe a whole lot of office staff people, but I don't. There's no indication that the store itself is going to close.
I'll keep checking that to find out.
[00:54:39] Speaker H: All right?
[00:54:40] Speaker B: I don't believe so. I think there'll be some layoffs of office workers, but not. But not. The store itself will not close.
[00:54:47] Speaker H: Oh, I see.
[00:54:48] Speaker B: Okay. All right.
[00:54:49] Speaker H: Thank you.
[00:54:49] Speaker B: Thank you, Pat. I'm glad he brought that up. I had no idea about that.
All operations will run out of the headquarters in Brooklyn. The operations. But the store itself will remain open, although they have closed some stores in some areas. Anyway, let's go to Tony in St. Louis. Are you in St. Louis now, Tony?
[00:55:09] Speaker D: Yeah, Tony is in St. Louis. Good morning, Norm. And all the beautiful people in Boston. Boston and Cape Cod area.
[00:55:15] Speaker B: Well, nice to hear from you there. I know that you call us from time to time when you're at the Cape.

[00:55:30] Speaker D: He's back at KMOX.
[00:55:32] Speaker B: Oh, isn't that interesting? What, did you leave and then go back again?
[00:55:35] Speaker D: He left for two months and then I guess Mr. Hyland hired him back.
[00:55:39] Speaker B: Oh, well, that's good.
[00:55:40] Speaker D: You know, Mr. Hyland passed away yesterday.
[00:55:43] Speaker B: Now he. Is he the. Was he the owner of the station?

[00:55:51] Speaker D: He just died yesterday. Oh, I see a very outstanding gentleman here in St. Louis.
I'm coming back to Boston on 12th of April again. I'll call you then. I tried to call you a couple times, but the atmospheric conditions. The WBC was not coming in too good until tonight.
[00:56:13] Speaker B: Are you picking us up in the St. Louis area now?
[00:56:16] Speaker D: Oh, you're coming clear. Loud and clear here.
[00:56:19] Speaker B: No kidding.
[00:56:19] Speaker D: Oh, beautiful.

[00:56:27] Speaker D: I enjoy wbz. Whenever KMOX is not my station, most of the time I listen kmox, but next station is always wbc.
[00:56:38] Speaker B: Do you have a radio nearby, Tony?
[00:56:40] Speaker D: I sure do.
[00:56:41] Speaker B: Could you. Could you turn the radio up so we could hear ourselves in St. Louis?
[00:56:45] Speaker D: All right, just a minute.
[00:56:47] Speaker B: Okay. Maybe kind of interesting.
There's a six second delay. So what you're hearing is. Or seven second delay is what broadcast seven seconds ago.
[00:56:57] Speaker F: Okay.
[00:56:58] Speaker B: Might be kind of interesting.
There's a six second delay.
[00:57:02] Speaker F: So what you're hearing is seven second
[00:57:05] Speaker B: delay was broadcast seven seconds ago. Okay, there we are on there now. There'll be a pause because I paused to hear us.
Okay, I guess that's us in St. Louis. Isn't that fascinating?
It may not be a big kick to many listeners who are tuned in at the moment, but it is to me. I just. I've never worked for a station that reached out so far.
Okay, Tony, you can come back on the air with us now.
I guess we'll have to wait for seven seconds till that gets across out so far.
[00:57:41] Speaker F: Okay, Tony, you come back on the air with us now.
[00:57:44] Speaker D: Okay, Bruce.
[00:57:45] Speaker B: Okay, Bruce.
That's okay. I like Bruce very, very much.

[00:57:55] Speaker D: Yes, I talk to him tomorrow.
[00:57:57] Speaker B: Oh, good. Would you wish him my very very best?
[00:57:59] Speaker D: Because he's always talked to Jim White. I wonder if you know Jim white. He's from 11 to 3 o' clock in the morning.
[00:58:07] Speaker B: No, I don't know the KMOX crew at all. I only know Bruce because he was from this area.
[00:58:12] Speaker D: I called him tomorrow. I already called him when he came back that same day.
[00:58:17] Speaker B: Oh yeah? Well, wish him my wallet, my best and tell him I wish him the best of luck. I think about him a lot. He's a good kid.
