[00:01:37] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right. Someplace. Every place was talking about green beer and bagels. Why don't. Why, why would they bring bagels out on St. Patrick's Day?

[00:01:56] Speaker C: I don't know. [00:01:58] Speaker B: Not that you can't be Jewish and Irish at the same time because one is a religion and the other is a nationality. As a matter of fact, there used to be. There was a mayor of Dublin. I'm trying to think of what his name. He was Jewish. I mean, he was Irish, but he was Jewish. Most. Most Irishmen are in that area. Catholic. [00:02:19] Speaker C: I know who you mean. I can't think of the guy's name [00:02:22] Speaker B: he was trying to introduce. Or somebody at one point was trying to introduce milk, suggesting that they ought to drink more milk or something. That seems like a pitiful thing. I can't think of what his name was. It begins with a B. I think somebody will come up with it. Later on. But anyway, somebody. Anyway, that's the whole thing. But how have you been? You. You have a telephone answering service? No. You never had a telephone answering service? [00:02:51] Speaker C: This is. This is Jimmy from Winthrop, and I've been. [00:02:55] Speaker B: No, I know. I know you, and I'm mixing.

I might even turn your microphone on. [00:06:53] Speaker E: Thank you very much. [00:06:55] Speaker B: Are you going to talk through everything, Jim? [00:06:57] Speaker C: I'm sorry. [00:06:57] Speaker B: Okay. Anyway, nice to have you with us again, Tom. [00:07:01] Speaker E: Thanks. [00:07:02] Speaker B: Tom is 14 years old. I think I embarrassed him. No, no, he's a loaded man. I'm just making bad jokes. We also have ken Newman, our WBZ 24 hour traffic network person who's with us and a lovely person. [00:07:20] Speaker E: Why, thank you, Norm. I appreciate that. [00:07:22] Speaker B: And I'm glad that you're in full. See, full costume. You have your airline, your airplane helmet on and the flowing white scarf and goggles. Jacket. The goggle and the jacket. And you really get into the spirit of things and I think that's really nice. And you have a little. A little four leaf clover. That's not St. Patrick's Day. You know what? It's not a quality. What is it called? A shamrock. A shamrock. Yeah. [00:07:51] Speaker C: I hope it's strategically placed. [00:07:55] Speaker B: I don't know what that means, but anything you say sounds obscene. Yeah. Okay. Anyway, it's been a good week for you, Ken Because I only get a chance to talk to you like one night a week. [00:08:07] Speaker E: I know that's true. And actually last week I wasn't. I wasn't around. [00:08:10] Speaker B: You weren't around last week at all. No, you were not. [00:08:12] Speaker E: It's been ages. [00:08:14] Speaker B: It has been ages. We get to work a little bit more in a. And I'll be sitting in for Bob Raleigh a week after next. So we'll get a chance to really get to hate each other a whole lot. Great. What's that please? That's great. [00:08:29] Speaker C: You're sitting in for Bob Riley. [00:08:30] Speaker B: Yeah, starting. I'm afraid of him. You're what? [00:08:33] Speaker C: I'm afraid of him. [00:08:34] Speaker B: Why is that? [00:08:36] Speaker C: I don't know. [00:08:36] Speaker B: He's like sort of mean. Sort of mean. Not really mean, but sort of mean. I say. Okay. Okay, let's guess. Here's Kurt Russell. Today is his birthday. I'll tell you a little something about these people and the idea is for you to then come up and tell me what age you think they are and which is again, I apologize for the whole concept of the game which is why we call it the dumb birthday game because it's really stupid and the prizes are really nothing that you'd want to hold longer than enough to get it to a flea market. Try to make a few bucks on that. Kurt Russell, he asked, did you know Kurt Russell's from Springfield, Massachusetts? [00:09:22] Speaker E: I didn't know that. [00:09:23] Speaker B: Did you know that, Jim? [00:09:24] Speaker C: I did not know that. [00:09:25] Speaker B: Did you know that, Marie? [00:09:28] Speaker D: No, I didn't. But I know he's cute. [00:09:30] Speaker E: I think it's safe to say it's a little known fact. [00:09:33] Speaker B: It is a little known fact. We should have known that. Jeannie did. You're from High park, you know all about that stuff. Did you know Kurt Russell was born in Springfield? No. See the. Bob, did you know that I don't [00:09:46] Speaker C: go along with the rest of the gang? I don't know about it either. [00:09:49] Speaker B: Yeah, Tom, you didn't know that either. [00:09:50] Speaker E: I had no idea. [00:09:51] Speaker B: Son of a gun, you learn a lot of stuff here. Well, I figured if you're going to be up at 18 after 3 o' clock in the morning, you might as well learn something. Anyway, he's useful like that too. Yeah, that's really. [00:10:02] Speaker C: I was going to say when do we start? [00:10:04] Speaker B: When we start what? [00:10:06] Speaker C: Learning stuff. [00:10:10] Speaker B: I would. You know, I'm silent now because we're trying to. Trying to. We're trying to put Bob right, right down. Right down into his. Put his head right into the earth. Okay. Kurt Russell Anyway, he appeared as Elvis Presley in a made for TV movie in 1979. I didn't know that either. I can't picture Kurt Russell as Elvis Presley. And he was in Silkwood, Backdraft, Unlawful Entry, Stargate. And he played Wyatt Earp in the film Tombstone. He did. He did a. He's. Who's he married to? Isn't he married to somebody well known? [00:10:52] Speaker C: Goldie Hawn. [00:10:52] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:10:53] Speaker B: Oh, Goldie Hawn, that's right. [00:10:54] Speaker E: He was in a movie with her. I don't remember the name of it, but I remember he was in a movie with her too, which was horrible. [00:11:02] Speaker B: I think that was. What was the title of the movie was a movie with her. [00:11:07] Speaker E: Movie with her. [00:11:09] Speaker B: It's horrible. That's right. Okay, so the question is, Jim, how old is Kurt Russell today? Do you think that's his real name? Nobody's real name is Kurt Russell, is it? Russell. [00:11:21] Speaker E: Kurt. [00:11:23] Speaker C: That doesn't sound as fake as the. As some of the ones that they change him to. I. I'd say it's probably close, but I'm gonna say he's. Oh, 45. [00:11:38] Speaker B: 45, okay. I have another source here. This. No, I'm not questioning the. The age or anything. I was wondering. I was wondering. Normally I have the. They. They print the original name. If that's not his real name. No, apparently it is his real name. Yeah, that seems to be the real name. Okay. Marie? What. How old do you think Kurt Russell is? [00:12:06] Speaker D: About 42. [00:12:08] Speaker B: 42. Okay. And Gene? 46. Or I may. If I may call you Genie. Gene. Okay. And Bob? [00:12:20] Speaker C: 44. [00:12:22] Speaker B: 44, okay, we'll put that down. 44. Okay. And the. Tom? [00:12:30] Speaker E: 40 years old. [00:12:32] Speaker B: 40 years old. You made a whole sentence out of that. That was very nice. Very good. [00:12:36] Speaker E: Thank you. [00:12:37] Speaker B: Yeah. Ken, what do you say? [00:12:39] Speaker E: I think he's probably about 40. Let me go with 46. [00:12:45] Speaker B: 46. How long have you been married now, Ken? [00:12:49] Speaker E: Since September. [00:12:50] Speaker B: That's right, too. You haven't even reached the year mark. September, October, November. December, January. You've been married just a half a year. [00:12:57] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:12:58] Speaker B: Okay. You still happy? You're still living with your wife and everything? [00:13:02] Speaker E: It's kind of getting a little old now, you know. [00:13:05] Speaker B: Starting to get on each other's nerves or anything like that? [00:13:08] Speaker E: No, no, not at all. Just joking. [00:13:12] Speaker B: Does she stay up at night listening to you during the night? [00:13:16] Speaker E: Her devotion isn't quite that much. [00:13:18] Speaker B: No, marriage is. Marriage is on the rocks. Okay. Anyway, the answer is 45. Jim, hit it right on the button. [00:13:29] Speaker C: All right. [00:13:30] Speaker B: And the Rest of you were very, very close. [00:13:32] Speaker E: You know, I saw him in a. I saw him in it. I was watching this old Disney movie, and he was in this Disney movie. It had to be back in the 60s. That's why I thought he was older. [00:13:42] Speaker B: Called. [00:13:42] Speaker E: Let's see if anybody remembers this. It was called the Computer who Wore Tennis Shoes. [00:13:47] Speaker B: Oh, really? Oh, yeah, I remember that one. [00:13:50] Speaker C: Corny. [00:13:51] Speaker E: It was awfully silly. [00:13:52] Speaker B: The Computer who Wore tennis Shoes. [00:13:54] Speaker E: He was supposed to be like. It had a really good memory. And I threw. Something happened to him. He could remember everything. So that's it. [00:14:00] Speaker B: The Backdraft. That was the fire thing. [00:14:06] Speaker C: Yeah, it was a pretty good flick. That wasn't bad. [00:14:08] Speaker B: Yeah, that turned out. And Silkwood was a good movie too. This was the woman who had an accident after being involved in union business in a plant that she felt was unsafe for the workers. Pardon me. [00:14:23] Speaker D: Cher was in there with him. [00:14:26] Speaker B: Well, in Backdraft, the woman, Silkwood, what's who. [00:14:30] Speaker D: Cher and Meryl Streep. [00:14:33] Speaker B: Meryl Streep Was. Was she the. [00:14:34] Speaker C: Was Silkwood? Yeah. [00:14:36] Speaker B: Oh, Silkwood. Okay. [00:14:37] Speaker C: Was the one she did with Goldie Hunter Curtis. Was. That Seems like Good times. [00:14:42] Speaker E: Oh, that's not the one I was talking about. [00:14:45] Speaker D: Overboard. [00:14:46] Speaker B: That's it. [00:14:47] Speaker C: Overboard. [00:14:50] Speaker E: That's it. [00:14:50] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah. [00:14:51] Speaker D: He's a bad life. I'm sorry. [00:14:53] Speaker B: He's been on television the past week or so with, like. He hasn't shaved for a while. I wonder whether he's growing a beard for a movie role. [00:15:02] Speaker C: He always looks like that. Yeah. [00:15:04] Speaker E: He's in a new movie now with. [00:15:06] Speaker B: With. Wait a minute. Yeah. Do you think. You think it's a girl? [00:15:09] Speaker C: Steven Seagal. [00:15:09] Speaker B: Yeah. Executive decision. [00:15:12] Speaker E: I was gonna say that. And then it seems silly that they would be in the same movie, but I guess. [00:15:18] Speaker B: Okay. Oh, that's why he's unshaven. That was for that movie. Well, for that movie role. [00:15:23] Speaker E: I. I mean, I don't know. You know, he's unshaven and he's in a new movie, so it's possible. [00:15:29] Speaker B: Okay. Okay. Mercedes McCambridge, the actress, won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in All the King's men in 1945. So there's a kind of a clue for you. Been in several things since then, although I can't remember what they are. [00:15:47] Speaker C: She also did the voice of the devil in the Exorcist. That horrible voice you hear coming out of Reagan, the girl on the bed there. [00:15:57] Speaker B: Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Well, that was Mercedes McCambry. That's kind of. That's kind of interesting. Mercedes. [00:16:06] Speaker C: Devilish voice. [00:16:09] Speaker B: I wondered if she were related to. [00:16:12] Speaker C: I was trying to think of. [00:16:13] Speaker B: I was trying to think of other actors and actresses whose names were the same as Massachusetts communities. [00:16:19] Speaker C: Oh, if she married. [00:16:21] Speaker B: Yeah, she married. Well, let's see. [00:16:27] Speaker C: I love these. [00:16:28] Speaker B: Well, Steve Lawrence, I suppose you could put him up there on the list. Or our own Bill Lawrence from bz. Kay Medford was a musical comedy actress. [00:16:40] Speaker C: Melissa Manchester. [00:16:41] Speaker B: Melissa Manchester. Yes. Very good. [00:16:46] Speaker E: I was thinking you were going to do the cars. The car theme. [00:16:50] Speaker B: The car theme. [00:16:51] Speaker E: Mercedes. [00:16:52] Speaker B: Oh, we could do the car theme. Yeah. [00:16:54] Speaker C: Yeah. Carl Benz. [00:16:56] Speaker B: Carl Benz. Is that an actor? [00:16:59] Speaker C: That's. That was Bell. [00:17:00] Speaker B: No, that's the guy from the Mercedes. Benz. [00:17:02] Speaker C: Sue me. [00:17:03] Speaker B: Yeah. Gerald Ford. Yeah, comes to mind. Let's stop the program, Cole, while we all stop and ponder this thing. But I think we've got some small material here. Let's start with you, Ken. How old do you think Mercedes McCambridge is? Oh, married to Dusty Springfield. Or Bill Clinton. [00:17:31] Speaker E: Clinton. [00:17:31] Speaker B: Yeah, Clinton. Or his daughter Chelsea. [00:17:35] Speaker E: A little tribute. [00:17:35] Speaker B: Yeah. Chelsea Clinton. [00:17:36] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:17:37] Speaker B: There are two communities of Massachusetts. Right. They're all wound up in one family. [00:17:41] Speaker E: I think Clinton is the town that has the most bars per square mile in the country. [00:17:46] Speaker B: Do you think so? [00:17:47] Speaker E: No, no, I really think that's a true statistic. Either in the country or. I think it's in the country. Most bars. [00:17:54] Speaker B: That's where Jimmy Kiner had his first town meeting. Remember when he was president? Well, no wonder he was. He was. That may be he was going to go out and meet with the people and he was going to have a series of town meetings to get to hear what people thought. And. And Clinton, Massachusetts was where he held the first one. Golly jicas, this is an interesting program, isn't it, eh? [00:18:15] Speaker E: All the facts coming out of the woodwork. [00:18:17] Speaker B: Yeah, Ken. Anyway, okay, we. We've let you stall along. [00:18:21] Speaker E: I'll say she's 68. [00:18:26] Speaker B: 68. Okay. What do you think, Tom? 62. Tom thinks 62. What?

You know, the loud horns like the big vans there. [00:19:49] Speaker B: Yep. Okay. Anyway, you got two out of two and you hit them both right on the button. [00:19:55] Speaker C: Just lucky, I guess. [00:19:57] Speaker B: Okay. Actually, Bob from Peabody wasn't too far off. He had CSET 75, which was good. So most of you are pretty close. Patrick Duffy, Let me tell you about Patrick Duffy also was born March 17 on St. Patrick's Day. Actor from Townsend, Montana. No, there is a Townsend. Yeah. Which is right up near Gardner and some of the other places we're talking about. And Clinton, he made a strange. Says he made a strange return from Pam's Dream on the Dallas TV series in 1987. Do any of you know what that means? [00:20:37] Speaker D: Yep. [00:20:38] Speaker B: What is that? [00:20:40] Speaker D: He was Bobby Ewing. He had killed off and then he showed up a year and a half later back on the show again on Dallas. [00:20:50] Speaker B: Oh, that's. Oh, that's. [00:20:51] Speaker D: That's Patrick Duffy star him in the shower. [00:20:54] Speaker B: Oh, I see. That's a nice looking guy. Dark hair, curly kind of. [00:20:58] Speaker D: He's on some show now. [00:20:59] Speaker C: Step by Step with Suzanne Summers. Didn't he lose both his folks within the past two years? Still within about a month and a half of each other. [00:21:09] Speaker B: Yeah. I don't know. Does. Does anybody know that? I. I don't know. He's now on tv. Step by Step. Is that the program you're talking about, Marie? [00:21:18] Speaker D: Yeah, that's it. Right. [00:21:18] Speaker B: Step by step. Okay, let's. Let's start with Eugenie. How old do you think Patrick Duffy is? Oh, I say about 42. 42. Okay. And Tom? [00:21:34] Speaker E: 50. [00:21:35] Speaker B: Tom says 50. And Jim, what do you think? [00:21:39] Speaker C: I'm gonna go with 48. [00:21:41] Speaker B: 48. [00:21:43] Speaker C: And Bob 54. [00:21:46] Speaker B: 54. What do you think, Marie? [00:21:49] Speaker D: I think he's 47. [00:21:52] Speaker B: 47. And Ken, I'm gonna go with Tom [00:21:56] Speaker E: and go right to the big five zero. [00:21:58] Speaker B: The big five zero. Okay. [00:22:01] Speaker E: As opposed to the small five zero. [00:22:03] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, there are a lot of small five, zero. But I think Patrick Duffy would be the. If he were 50, it would be the big five. Oh, yes. Actually it's the big four seven. And Marie said four, seven, 47. That's so old and he's right. [00:22:17] Speaker D: I think someone said that his, his parents get murdered a couple years ago, I think. [00:22:22] Speaker B: Yeah, somebody. Yeah, that was Mexican. Is that right? No kidding. [00:22:26] Speaker D: Like they owned like some pub or something, I think. [00:22:29] Speaker B: Oh my. Danny Ainge, remember Danny ains the basketball player? He played for the, for the Boston, the Celtics and then with the Phoenix Suns. I guess he's still playing basketball. [00:22:48] Speaker C: He's working on TNT now. [00:22:51] Speaker E: He also played with the Toronto Blue Jays. [00:22:53] Speaker C: That's right. He did it for, for a short. Just had a cup of coffee with him. That's right. [00:22:58] Speaker B: That's right. What Riddy was trying out in baseball. [00:23:02] Speaker E: Yeah, he actually made the team. [00:23:04] Speaker C: Dome fingers, third baseman. Yeah, yeah. Then he went to basketball. That's right. [00:23:09] Speaker B: Oh, oh, he was in baseball first, then went to basketball. [00:23:13] Speaker C: Yeah. Played with Portland Celtics and the Suns. [00:23:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:23:17] Speaker E: Kind of the reverse of Michael Jordan. [00:23:20] Speaker B: Isn't that interesting? I didn't know that. Danny Angel. Today is his birthday and the idea is for us to guess. Bob, you tell us how old you think. Danny Angel? [00:23:33] Speaker C: 35. [00:23:35] Speaker B: Oh, that was so dramatically put. That was really nice. Could you go through those sounds again for us? [00:23:41] Speaker C: No, I don't want to do a jack card. [00:23:44] Speaker B: You don't want to go jack hard. Okay, Marie, what do you say? [00:23:49] Speaker D: Well, I think my brother went to college around the same time, so I think he was 35. I think he's 35. [00:23:57] Speaker B: Okay. And let's see, Ken, what do you say? [00:24:01] Speaker E: I say I can say almost anything, but in this case I'll go with 36. [00:24:07] Speaker B: 36, okay. [00:24:09] Speaker E: Tom, 37. [00:24:12] Speaker B: And Jeannie, 36. [00:24:15] Speaker C: And Jim, well, you know, I think he's 39. [00:24:25] Speaker B: You know, when you said, you know, I kinda, you see, thought. Yeah, you would say 39. Actually, he's 37. [00:24:41] Speaker C: Oh. [00:24:42] Speaker B: Oh my. And that's what Tom said. But. But all of you were very close. You're all within a year or so. Golly, what a smart class I've got here today. I'm glad because the principal is visiting the classrooms today and I wanted him to see how smart you guys were. What do you think, principal? I'm sorry, he's dead drunk and lying on the floor. Okay, so we have two wins from Jim, one from Marie and one from Tom. You guys remember, here's, here's a woman I liked even more than Michelle Pfeiffer, or, well, not more than Sophia Loren because she's still number one in my book. But this woman reminds me a little bit of Michelle Pfeiffer. Although she's older now. Her name is Leslie Ann Downs. [00:25:36] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:25:37] Speaker B: Let's see. Yeah. Do you remember her from upstairs, downstairs? [00:25:41] Speaker C: She has dark hair, though. [00:25:42] Speaker B: She has dark hair. Yes, that's correct. [00:25:45] Speaker C: Full lips, Full lip. [00:25:47] Speaker B: Oh, God, yes. Oh, God, yes. Why did you have to say that, Jim? Attracted. [00:25:51] Speaker C: I knew you were attracted to him. I. Testosterone level up. [00:25:55] Speaker B: Oh, I used to watch that upstairs downstairs on public television just to watch. [00:25:59] Speaker C: And that sexy English accent. [00:26:01] Speaker B: Oh, the accent. Oh, drive me crazy. I get goosebumps just thinking of it. [00:26:09] Speaker E: Like a 900 number. [00:26:10] Speaker B: That's right. Watching her was like. That's right. Calling one of those dirty lines. Anyway, stop it. Stop being a bad man. Anyway, she appeared. It says that was in Masterpiece Theater as we saw Alistair Cook when he was narrated, when he was the host on that. She was in the film Rough Cut, which I don't recall at all. You any. You know that movie Rough Cut? [00:26:39] Speaker C: Never heard of it. [00:26:40] Speaker B: She was in. [00:26:41] Speaker C: She was in a couple of weeks ago. [00:26:42] Speaker B: What's that? [00:26:43] Speaker C: I think it was on HBO a couple of weeks ago. [00:26:45] Speaker B: Oh, really? Yeah, I think it was. It says she met husband. Husband. Don Fauntleroy. How could. How could she. How could she marry a guy named Don Fauntleroy? What a alias. [00:26:59] Speaker C: Little Lord. [00:27:00] Speaker B: That's right. He was Lord Fauntleroy. That was the British actor who's probably about 106 now. Was a little kid at the time. Well, it doesn't matter. Anyway, she met her husband on the set of north and south, so she was in that. And she was in a movie with Involving a Train. Is that what, Britt Reynolds? No, it wasn't Burt Reynolds. I got a memory. That really helps you a lot, doesn't it? Anyway, that's Leslie Ann Downs. And let's. Let's start with you, Tom. How old do you think she is? [00:27:36] Speaker E: 47. [00:27:38] Speaker B: 47. You notice that without any hesitation. That's how you get to be a producer at wbz. No hesitation. Just say something right off. And if you get it wrong, the people interviewing you, they don't know the difference, so what the heck. Oh, my goodness. Ken, what do you say? Leslie Ann Downs? I like people not only like Leslie Ann Downs, but the fact that she's got a hyphenated name. [00:28:05] Speaker E: Oh, that's good. There's a lot of them out there now. [00:28:08] Speaker B: Yeah, and it's her first name that's hyphenated. Not the last two names. Leslie. Hyphen Ann. [00:28:14] Speaker E: It almost gives her a country type twang. [00:28:18] Speaker B: Here she is, Leslie Ann with the hemorrhoid song. Blood on the saddle. Take it, Leslie, [00:28:29] Speaker C: I don't take care of your father. [00:28:31] Speaker B: That was. That was tasteless, wasn't it? That's me. Nor. [00:28:35] Speaker C: Must take a lot of preparation to think of that. [00:28:39] Speaker B: What? [00:28:39] Speaker C: The age are you talking about? [00:28:40] Speaker E: You've been saving that one. [00:28:42] Speaker B: Yeah, I've been waiting for this moment. Okay. Oh, I asked you. That's right. [00:28:48] Speaker E: Anyway, I'll say. I'll say 51. [00:28:51] Speaker B: 51. Okay. What would you say, Jim? [00:28:56] Speaker C: 49. [00:28:57] Speaker B: 49. Okay. And Jeannie, what would you say? 48. Say that again. [00:29:07] Speaker C: 48. [00:29:07] Speaker B: I love the way you said that. 48. 48. Yeah, I know. I heard you the first time. I just. I just love the way he said 48. Leslie Ann Downs is 48. Okay. Bob, what do you think? [00:29:19] Speaker C: 50. [00:29:21] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, 50. I said Downs. By the way, it's down. Actually, it's a singular Leslie and down. [00:29:28] Speaker C: Marie, that's where they race for horses, ain't it? [00:29:31] Speaker B: That's exactly correct. But you get no extra points for that. And I forget why not. But it's in the book. [00:29:40] Speaker E: 386. [00:29:41] Speaker B: That's right. Of the Dumb Birthday Game Guidebook. Marie, how old is Leslie Ann Downs? [00:29:49] Speaker D: 47. I saw her in that north and south tonight. So. [00:29:54] Speaker B: Okay, so you're gonna say the same thing. Tom said. No, no, no, no, no. You obviously were not, because. Because you didn't know he said that. And there's no. You can't guess any age, even if somebody already has that. [00:30:07] Speaker E: You can look that up in the rule book as well. [00:30:09] Speaker B: That's right. No, that's. That's in the rule book and It's. Okay. The WBC Dumb Birthday Game Guidebook. Yeah. Which has 800 pages. Now. We keep adding to it because there are more and more rules for it. We want this game to be a model for other stations that want to copy it. Anyway, Leslie Ann down is only 42. You all guessed above her age. Wow. [00:30:32] Speaker C: She's younger than me. [00:30:33] Speaker B: She wouldn't be happy. [00:30:34] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:30:35] Speaker B: So I think the 47s. Yes, the 47s have it. That would be Tom and Marie. And that means we have a three way tie. Oh, this is so breathtaking. [00:30:48] Speaker D: Oh, it's breaking my hat. [00:30:49] Speaker B: Yeah. Jim, Marie and Tom have two apiece, and the rest of you are totally scoreless. When you get. Get off your tush and do something. [00:30:59] Speaker C: Ken and Jean, let's go. [00:31:01] Speaker B: Okay, what we get for a movie? [00:31:05] Speaker C: Silly MOOC award. What do you say in Yiddish, Norm Schleppers. They got to get. They got to slept to the top. [00:31:12] Speaker B: Well, schlepping means to pull something along. I. I'd say we're pulling something along. Yeah. They got to stop being schlamazzles and guess. Yes, I might say that. Anyway, Rob Lowe, he also has a birthday today. Rob Low, the actor. Okay, let me tell you about him. Let's see. His films include St. Elmo's Fire, Masquerade, Bad Influence, Frank and Jesse and Wayne's World. His career suffered a major embarrassment. Yeah. When it was revealed he starred in a homemade porno video with an underage girl. He married his Hollywood makeup artist, Cheryl Berkoff, in 1991. And they met during the influence. During the filming of Bad Influence. Under the influence or the influence of bad filming? That's right. I never took. It was hard for me always to take him seriously as an actor. He may be a great actor, I don't think. [00:32:14] Speaker C: I think he should change his name from Low to High. You know, after that film we did in Atlanta. It's Low. [00:32:20] Speaker E: Didn't they say about last night in his film credits? [00:32:25] Speaker B: About last night, that was his biggest hit. Or was it really? That's not even listed here. I gotta get a new little bit of information on these people. No, I didn't. I didn't. I didn't have that. Let me look up. I see. I have. I have several sources of information where I look stuff up, because that's not. [00:32:44] Speaker E: It's not a new movie. It just. [00:32:46] Speaker B: No, but maybe this other source includes that as well. But anyway, he was born on St. Patrick's Day. Rob Lowe. About last night. Is that what you said? Yeah, yeah. That's in this other source, probably. I don't know. I don't have the year that was. [00:33:04] Speaker E: Do you know that was in the 80s. [00:33:06] Speaker B: Okay. And he's from Charlottesville, Virginia, his home. Oh. He was born there. Anyhow, I don't think it's still his home. Okay, let's start with you, Jim. How old is Rob Lowe on this very day? [00:33:19] Speaker C: Rob Lowe. [00:33:21] Speaker B: Rob Lowe. [00:33:22] Speaker C: 46. [00:33:23] Speaker B: 46. [00:33:26] Speaker D: Okay, Marie, I know exactly how old he is. He's 32. [00:33:31] Speaker B: Okay, see, the point is. [00:33:33] Speaker D: Point is way younger than me. [00:33:36] Speaker B: Okay. [00:33:36] Speaker E: I wonder what I'll get. [00:33:37] Speaker D: Sorry. Sorry. [00:33:39] Speaker B: Yeah. See, the thing is. Come closer. I don't want these other people to hear this. Marie, the idea is you're supposed to do not to say those things. [00:33:48] Speaker C: Right. [00:33:48] Speaker B: See, you know, just to say it this. [00:33:51] Speaker D: He's a year younger than me. [00:33:52] Speaker B: Okay, but you already said it. And these other people, they believe you are going to say the same thing. That means that you don't have. You're not the only winner. And so you don't gain any extra credits. [00:34:03] Speaker D: You see, a liar. [00:34:06] Speaker B: Pardon me? [00:34:06] Speaker D: I could be a compulsive liar. [00:34:08] Speaker B: Oh, that's true. Of course. You could be saying. Saying that you know, and. And not actually know and then throw them all off. [00:34:13] Speaker D: I am Irish, you know. No, just kidding. Just kidding. [00:34:18] Speaker B: Anyway, Jeannie, how old do you think Rob Lowe is? 32. See what you set off Marie, Bob, what do you say? [00:34:26] Speaker C: 32. [00:34:29] Speaker E: Well, I saw his last movie, and I think he's. I say he's about 75. [00:34:35] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Come on, you're tired. You're tied with two other people. You don't want to just know that. [00:34:40] Speaker E: 31 years old. [00:34:41] Speaker B: 31 years old. Okay, there's a man with a mind of his own. And, Ken, what do you say? [00:34:47] Speaker E: Well, I'm a man with no mind of my own, so I'm gonna have to go with 32. [00:34:51] Speaker B: Right? The 32 is correct. [00:34:55] Speaker E: No minds have it. [00:34:56] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right. So that means Marie, Jeannie, Bob and ken also have 32. So the way the score goes now is Marie has three and is leading with three. And two apiece from Jim and Tom and one apiece from Jeannie and Bob. [00:35:18] Speaker C: I'm happy with the one even, but [00:35:21] Speaker B: everybody has scored at least once, and I think that is just thanks to Marie. [00:35:25] Speaker D: Thank you. Thank you. [00:35:29] Speaker B: Thank God for Marie. Thank you. [00:35:32] Speaker E: Spoil it for everyone. [00:35:34] Speaker B: Okay, how about John Sebastian? Singer, composer. He was a 1960s rock influence. When he was asked to compose the theme song for a new TV show called called Cotter, the only title that seemed to work was welcome Back. So he wrote that. Welcome Back. Your dreams are all old swell or whatever. The show's producers liked it, and so they changed the name of the show to welcome, welcome Carter. Welcome Back. Yeah. Anyway, he founded the Lovin Spoonful, and his biggest hit came up 1966. There's a clip. 1966. It was called Summer in the City, and it was patterned. I don't know whether you know this or not, but it was patterned after Fitchburg. I made that up. It's not a big. [00:36:28] Speaker C: I thought it was Chelsea. I was gonna say by the Creek because of the smell. [00:36:34] Speaker B: Oh, that's not kind, Jim. That's not kind. Oh, that's just not kind. Just that kind. Okay. Ken, how old do you think John Sebastian is this very day? Also, another fellow born on St. Patrick's Day. [00:36:49] Speaker C: Hmm. [00:36:50] Speaker B: 50. [00:36:51] Speaker E: I'll say 54. [00:36:54] Speaker B: Okay. What do you say, Tom? [00:36:56] Speaker C: 55. [00:36:57] Speaker B: Tom says 55. And Bob 53. Okay. Jeannie. 58. And the lovely Marie. [00:37:09] Speaker D: 54. [00:37:10] Speaker B: And the ugly Marie. Oh, Jim, what do you think? [00:37:17] Speaker C: I like 54. [00:37:18] Speaker B: Yeah. No, I wasn't calling. You see, I said the lovely Marie and then it was a bit of humor to say and now the ugly Marie like it was somebody else. [00:37:26] Speaker C: Just say Ugly Jim. 54. [00:37:28] Speaker B: Yeah, but I would say I wasn't referring to as humor. Is that. No, actually he's 52. So Bob in Peabody said 53. Yeah. So Bob. Bob had won that round. So we now have. [00:37:44] Speaker E: The plot thickens. [00:37:46] Speaker B: The plot is really. This is really. Boy 3 and 2. The. The string is due. No, I forget what they sand Baseball. It's a seed. [00:37:58] Speaker C: Big one do. [00:37:59] Speaker B: It's. The big one is due. Yeah, this. It's a seed. Squirmer. Let's see. Jim, Tom, both have two a piece. And Marie has. Marie has three. [00:38:12] Speaker D: The con is full. [00:38:14] Speaker B: Okay. Bob has two. Yeah, the count is full. Okay, let's. Let's try this one. Let's see. Oh, we're kind of out of names. This is an event that happened on this day. [00:38:26] Speaker E: St. Patrick's Day, maybe. [00:38:28] Speaker B: Yeah. Is this St. Patrick's Day? Yes or no? No. The. The question is what year. What year did Eleanor Roosevelt marry Franklin Roosevelt? And they married in New York. I don't know what it was at Hyde Park, New York or where. But anyway, it was on this day and on St. Patrick's Day that Eleanor and their friends Franklin became an idol or something. What year? The question is, of course, what year was that? And we'll start with you, Jim. What do you think? What year? [00:39:00] Speaker C: Oh, let's see. I'm gonna go. Eighteen ninety eight. [00:39:12] Speaker B: 1898. Okay. And Marie, [00:39:20] Speaker D: Eleanor. And who? [00:39:24] Speaker B: Some. Some. [00:39:26] Speaker E: Some guy. [00:39:27] Speaker B: Some guy. Yeah, some guy with a cigarette holder and funny glasses. No, she married Eleanor Roosevelt. Married Franklin Roosevelt. [00:39:36] Speaker D: 1922. [00:39:39] Speaker B: 1922. Okay. And the genie. What year do you think they were married? [00:39:47] Speaker C: 21. [00:39:48] Speaker B: 1921. Okay. What do you think, Bob? [00:39:56] Speaker C: 1927. [00:39:58] Speaker B: 1927. We keep going up in the years. It'll. It'll appear soon that they're not even married yet. They're still courting. That's right, they're still courting. [00:40:10] Speaker E: They're engaged. [00:40:11] Speaker B: We have nothing to affair but marriage itself. Cold calculating marriage. That was one of the worst imitations a friend or a woman you'll ever hear in your entire life. That was awful. [00:40:25] Speaker C: Good thing he wasn't a shotgun job. [00:40:27] Speaker B: Oh, that's right. Tom, what do you think? What year were Eleanor Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt married? [00:40:36] Speaker E: I'll say 1917. [00:40:38] Speaker B: 1917. Okay. [00:40:41] Speaker E: And Ken, I'm gonna go with 1920. [00:40:45] Speaker B: 1920. Okay. The year actually was 1905. Wow. [00:40:52] Speaker C: Wow. [00:40:52] Speaker B: And that means that Jim, who said 1898, wasn't too far off. Seven years. All right. Yeah. So Jim. Jim has won that round. He now has three. Three. The same as as Marie. As in Marie the Dawn is breaking Marie Antoinette. We already have. [00:41:13] Speaker C: We're gonna start the French again. [00:41:14] Speaker B: Yeah, we should have one more to break the tie, because we got a tie between those three. What was the question? Was there just a question by one of you newspaper guys? [00:41:23] Speaker E: I have a question. [00:41:24] Speaker B: Yes? [00:41:25] Speaker E: What does shalom mean again? [00:41:31] Speaker B: That just means like a kind of a jerk. What it means is I've had a slepper with to update it. It's kind of like a geek or [00:41:42] Speaker C: a nerd about a slepper with a jerk. [00:41:45] Speaker B: No, they're all. They're all sort of the same. There's a slight difference, but they're all about the same. They all mean nerd like a slumiel. Yeah. [00:41:56] Speaker E: See, I always wondered what Laverne and [00:41:57] Speaker B: Kelly were talking about. [00:41:59] Speaker C: Norman, I have a couple of Jewish people at the building I work with. I hope this isn't a dirty word. What is a pots? [00:42:06] Speaker B: I pretend you never said that. [00:42:08] Speaker C: Oh, okay. [00:42:08] Speaker B: I'm sorry. [00:42:09] Speaker C: Same as Islamiel. [00:42:10] Speaker B: No, it's not the same as Islam. [00:42:13] Speaker C: I don't know. See, I don't know. [00:42:14] Speaker B: I'll tell you. It's a penis is what it is. [00:42:17] Speaker C: Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, I did not know that. [00:42:19] Speaker B: The slang word for penis. Yeah, same as. Same as schmuck in mixed company. If you back away from both of those. Okay, I'm sorry. Actually, it's not used as that. I think most of the time people who use it mean it as some kind of a jerk. [00:42:35] Speaker C: Educational Shawnorm. What can I tell you? [00:42:37] Speaker B: Yeah, listen, we're learning a foreign language. [00:42:40] Speaker E: There are an awful lot of Jewish words for jerks. [00:42:43] Speaker B: Yeah, there really are. I guess maybe. Maybe there's a certain amount of self consciousness. Yeah, what's that? [00:42:50] Speaker C: And that's just the noun. And now that I know that Norm, I'm going to use it more often. [00:42:57] Speaker B: Okay, here's a. Here's a. Let's see if I can get. Okay, here's. Here's another event. We got to break this tie. The Campfire Girls organization was formed on. On St Patrick's Day, and it was. It was formally presented to the public exactly two years later. I don't know what that means. It was. It was formed on this date, but was formally presented to the public two years later. What were they doing it for two years? [00:43:35] Speaker E: Think of how they were going to break the news. [00:43:38] Speaker B: Yeah, like there's some kind of a. A conspiratorial organization ready to overthrow a government. And they didn't want to be as. We'll wait till we get the ammunition [00:43:50] Speaker E: with those marshmallows at the right time. [00:43:54] Speaker C: Do you know if it was formed by the same girl that did the Girl Scouts? Mrs. Juliet Lowe was the same lady. [00:44:00] Speaker B: I don't have that information, but I don't think so. I think the Campfire Girls, you know, is a different group than the Girl [00:44:07] Speaker E: Scouts competing with the Girl Scout. [00:44:08] Speaker B: Yeah. What's that, please? [00:44:11] Speaker C: No, I just said. I. I just wanted to. [00:44:13] Speaker B: No, I just wanted to know that Ken said something. [00:44:16] Speaker E: They were probably competing with the Girl Scout. [00:44:19] Speaker B: I think they probably were. Yes, I believe so. Okay, let's see. That seems like a stupid thing that they organized. Well, why not? Let's do that. What the heck? What year was that that the Campfire Girls organization was formed? And if you know the year it was presented publicly to the. Formally to the public. Jen, subtract two years. That's really exciting. [00:44:50] Speaker E: This is a major American historical event. [00:44:52] Speaker B: Oh, this is really a big event. I'm trying to think of something that's kind of popular and stuff. I could ask you, what year did President Roosevelt. That is Theodore Roosevelt, the other one, used the term muckraker in a speech to the Gridiron Club in Washington. But that might be easy to guess because if you know what year he was years he was president. Okay, let's do The Campfire Girls 1. Ken, what year do you think that was? They were formerly. How do I phrase. That was organized. The organization was formed at this year. [00:45:28] Speaker E: I'll say 68. [00:45:31] Speaker B: 1968. Okay. Tom, what year do you think? [00:45:35] Speaker E: 1947. [00:45:37] Speaker B: 1947. And Bob? [00:45:41] Speaker C: 1944. [00:45:43] Speaker B: 1944. Okay. Jeanne? 1945. 1945. Marie? [00:45:52] Speaker D: 1958. [00:45:54] Speaker B: 1958. And Jim, now, don't forget, you're in a tie now with Marie. So your answer is. Just sit down. Terribly important. [00:46:03] Speaker C: I'll say. 1952. [00:46:06] Speaker B: 1952. Okay. Actually, the year was 1910. Yeah, it really goes back. Yeah, 1910. [00:46:20] Speaker E: I should have known because now they probably wouldn't want them to play with fire. [00:46:26] Speaker C: Beavis and Butthead wasn't out then yet either, you know. [00:46:29] Speaker B: You know what just happened? Bob. Bob said 1944. And although he was quite a bit off. [00:46:36] Speaker C: We got a three way tie. [00:46:38] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right. We have a three way tie now. [00:46:41] Speaker C: Oh, boy. [00:46:41] Speaker B: I don't really have. I don't really want to send out three. Three prizes, you know. Shall we do one more? Let's do the Roosevelt Muckraker thing. Oh, boy. What was that? [00:46:54] Speaker C: What the hell was that? My eardrum was. [00:46:58] Speaker B: I don't think we're on the air anymore. [00:47:00] Speaker E: This station just shorted out. [00:47:04] Speaker B: That sets off an alarm. And the head of Westinghouse organization's house, matter of fact, he said, oh, we've just sold a 2 billion washing machine anyway. Okay, we'll do what? We'll do one more. Let me see this. Let's do this local one. We'll do another one. This is the Massachusetts legislature and this year and on March 17 authorized the incorporation of Wellesley Female Seminary, which later became Wellesley College. Okay, so this is the beginning of Wellesley College and It began on May 7, on March 17. What year would that have been? Okay, okay, let's start. Jim, what do you think? What year did they begin? Wellesley College, known as Wellesley Female Seminary at that time. It's kind of tough, but we have to get up. When we have a three way tie. [00:48:08] Speaker C: I'm gonna say, oh, 1922. [00:48:13] Speaker B: Okay, what do you say, Marie? [00:48:15] Speaker D: 1937. [00:48:17] Speaker B: 1937. And Jeannie? 35. 1935. 1935. Bob? 1928. 1928. Tom? [00:48:29] Speaker E: 1907. [00:48:30] Speaker B: 1907. And Ken? [00:48:34] Speaker E: I'll say 1910. [00:48:38] Speaker B: 1910. Actually, the year was 1870. Oh my God. So Tom won that one. Which makes it a forward. [00:48:50] Speaker E: The people who didn't. [00:48:51] Speaker B: Who didn't? [00:48:53] Speaker E: Weren't in the three way tie should be disqualified from. [00:48:56] Speaker B: Okay, so we'll go to the three way tie, people. [00:48:59] Speaker C: That's right. [00:49:00] Speaker B: All right, we'll do that. Okay, that would mean that. [00:49:03] Speaker E: That's on page 492, paragraph C. I'm [00:49:06] Speaker C: sorry I forgot the dumb birthday. [00:49:08] Speaker B: Yeah, I forgot to bring my rule book in. Okay, let's see. Jim. Jim said 1922. He was part of the three way tie. Hi there. I sound like you're off stage. Announcer. Sorry. Talks off like this. Who else was in the Three way Times? [00:49:29] Speaker C: Marie. [00:49:29] Speaker B: No, Marie. Yeah, Marie was on the three. She said 58. Now Jim was closer with 50 with 22. [00:49:38] Speaker E: I think you're reverting to the campfire. [00:49:40] Speaker C: The winner. Because I said 28. [00:49:41] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. 20. Pardon me. I think I said 28, so I [00:49:45] Speaker C: think Jim would be the winner. [00:49:48] Speaker B: You did say. You did say 28. Yes, you did. [00:49:53] Speaker C: I said 19. 22. [00:49:54] Speaker B: You said 22. Okay. That's right. You were the. You three were a tie, and. Well, so was. Okay, so I guess Jim is the winner, then. That's right. Yeah. He said 22, which is the closest to 1870. I'm so sick of this whole thing. I'm sick to death of this whole thing. I don't know why we planned this. Tom actually was the closest. He said 19 7. [00:50:23] Speaker C: That would be a Right. [00:50:24] Speaker B: But. But that. That would make it. No, that. That would make it a he. Yeah, that would make it another time. Oh, let's send the thing to Jim. I don't really care anymore. Forget it. Okay. Thank you, all of you, for playing the game. Have we been playing this, like, for seven and we've been playing this thing for, like, 22 hours, and this is [00:50:46] Speaker E: the guest book of war. [00:50:48] Speaker C: You should just offer a question up. Why don't catfish have kittens? [00:50:52] Speaker B: Why don't. Say that again. [00:50:54] Speaker C: Why don't catfish have kittens? And there's the green around the gills. [00:50:58] Speaker B: I don't know. Why don't catfish have gill chicken kittens? I'm not myself. Why don't the catfish have kittens? [00:51:10] Speaker C: Somebody's been watching the Three Stooges too long. That's right. [00:51:13] Speaker E: Is there a joke in there somewhere? Or is there a sunshine? Or is it just something to ponder? [00:51:18] Speaker B: Oh, is that. Is that. Is that. Is that the whole. [00:51:21] Speaker C: Is that, like, humor you in. [00:51:23] Speaker B: Is that the whole humor thing? Let me get. Let me get rid of all you. I'll tell you the truth. I'm sick of all of you. [00:51:29] Speaker C: Say good night, Norm. [00:51:30] Speaker B: I'm sick of. Yeah, good night, Bob, and good night, Jim. And good. I'm not even letting. Letting them answer. Good night, Marie, and good night, Jane, and good night. How did she. How did you manage to get an answer? And I thought I clipped it. And. And Ken, I will see you next [00:51:47] Speaker E: week or I won't see you, but I'll talk to you next week. [00:51:49] Speaker B: I look forward to that. Oh, I look forward to that more than you could ever possibly know. Okay. And thank you, Jim. We have all their names and. Okay, so we have. What we need is gems. And we. We'll send him the lousiest thing we can think of because I'm sick of him. I'm sick of all of us. And most of all Mom. I'm sick of me. Thank you just so much. [00:52:16] Speaker A: The deeper we go into this vault, the more treasures we find. Until our next expedition to unearth more closing the vault and leaving this world a little sillier than we found it for Shalom Bogora. Green bagels, records from all the way back St Patrick's Day.

The voice of the devil, Automobile puns Clinton, Massachusetts Record setting saloons per capita Jack Benny. Dark hair, full lips and a sexy English accent. Little Lord Dawn Fauntleroy. A memory like a steel sieve, no hesitation. The Hemorrhoid Song Blood on the Saddle Chamilles and Shamozzles, Hollywood scandals, Compulsive liars having no mind of your own. The Campfire Girls, Muckrakers. The Gridiron Club, three way, four way Ties of all types. Wellesley College, the dumb Birthday Game, Rulebook and bylaws.
