[00:02:47] Speaker B: I'm sorry, what's the town again?
[00:02:49] Speaker C: Stroudsburg.
[00:02:50] Speaker B: Strogsburg. Well, I'm glad that this is your first time?
[00:02:54] Speaker C: No. I've talked to you quite often, Norm. No, but I meant I'm on a game.
[00:02:57] Speaker B: Right, that's what I mean, the dumb birthday game.
[00:03:01] Speaker C: Yeah, I thought I should get on and maybe fix it up a little
[00:03:05] Speaker B: bit, you know, kind of bring glory to your home state of Pennsylvania?
[00:03:09] Speaker C: Correct.
[00:03:10] Speaker B: Okay. Do they still have number of plates there that say you've got a friend in Pennsylvania?

[00:03:39] Speaker D: Hi, how are you?
[00:03:40] Speaker B: Okay, thank you. And we have Tony, of course, being Tony Nesbitt, our producer, and Jack Hart being the head of the WBC 24 hour traffic network. Yes, at least right now he is not during the day when the important people come on relishing the power. Yeah, yeah. No, he's, I must admit.
[00:03:59] Speaker D: Am I the only female?
[00:04:00] Speaker B: You are the only female, Paula. Yes.
[00:04:02] Speaker D: Oh, Lord.
[00:04:04] Speaker C: Did Jack just say I mustered mitt after I said he's relishing the power?
[00:04:10] Speaker B: Yeah, you're playing catch up there, Tony. Come on,
[00:04:16] Speaker C: man.
[00:04:17] Speaker B: What do you think of all this, Paula?
[00:04:19] Speaker D: Oh, how could I be in better company at the sight of the morning?
[00:04:23] Speaker B: You know something? You're okay, Paula.
[00:04:25] Speaker C: You're gonna do goodly.
You know, Norm always says he does things badly, but he never says goodly. But I'm going to tell you, you're going to do goodly.
[00:04:36] Speaker B: Oh, Tony. Let's never have anybody from Pennsylvania on with us, okay?
[00:04:41] Speaker C: The lines are not cut.
[00:04:44] Speaker B: Okay, let's pretend that Pennsylvania isn't where you have a friend.
Okay, Here the birthdays today, people. Born on April 18, one of whom was Barbara Hale, who played the assistant of Perry Mason on tv.
Barbara. Della Street. She played Della Street. That's right.
Louis in Medford. What do you think? How old is Barbara Hale today?
[00:05:11] Speaker C: 49.
[00:05:13] Speaker B: 49, okay, 49. Let me see.
[00:05:21] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:05:21] Speaker B: Okay, 49 you say. And what do you say, John?
[00:05:25] Speaker C: I say maybe 58.
[00:05:28] Speaker B: 58, okay. And Joe, I'll say 63.
[00:05:35] Speaker C: No.
[00:05:36] Speaker B: Okay, what do you think, Paula?
[00:05:38] Speaker D: I was gonna go way outside and say about 67.
[00:05:42] Speaker B: Okay, Tony, what do you think? How old is Barbara hale?
[00:05:46] Speaker C: I'll say 64.
[00:05:47] Speaker B: 64.
And what would you say, Jack? You know, she was supposed to be Della Boulevard, but Earl Gardner wrote the stories, couldn't spell it. Oh, I can't bear this. I can't stand this.
Oh, God, I wish I were dead. I can't bear this.
So how old is she? 68. 68.
Okay, let us. And it's kind of interesting because we think of Barbara Hale as the way she was as Della street during the Perry Mason series, which has been out of production for many years because he did Iron Sides and all that stuff afterwards.
[00:06:23] Speaker C: You know, I think when her name was Boulevard by Jack.
[00:06:27] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:06:27] Speaker C: And she was asking her name to be changed. Street.
[00:06:30] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:06:31] Speaker C: She went up to them and said, do you have a new name for me?
[00:06:35] Speaker D: Oh,
[00:06:42] Speaker C: Wow.
She was born in Germany. Her name was.
[00:06:51] Speaker B: Jeez. Oh, God.
I know. I should have called him sick tonight.
[00:06:56] Speaker D: I think he's one of the people that did not survive the Hindenburg.
[00:07:00] Speaker B: Paula let you and I go run away together? Heck with all these people. Was her. Her aunt from France? Was they called Rue.
[00:07:08] Speaker D: Oh, I rue the day this happens again.
[00:07:10] Speaker C: Wow.
[00:07:12] Speaker B: Okay. Despite the fact. Oh, shut up, all of you.
Oh, shut up. I said shut up.
[00:07:19] Speaker D: The fact he was born in.
[00:07:21] Speaker B: He's not going to shut up. He's going to keep.
Again, cut off Pennsylvania.
[00:07:28] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:07:31] Speaker B: Ever since. Ever since Boston, ever since Benjamin Franklin left us to go to Pennsylvania, I knew they would become my rotten state.
Okay, Barbara Hale's actual age is.
That's right. And that's it.
[00:07:51] Speaker C: You know what? This is Norm.
[00:07:52] Speaker D: Right?
[00:07:53] Speaker C: This is notable.
[00:07:57] Speaker B: Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
Probably one of the greatest TV theater themes ever written.
Not bad.
[00:08:10] Speaker D: When did you do it better?
[00:08:14] Speaker B: Oh, John Williams probably could have written a better one. Although all would have sounded like Star Wars.
[00:08:20] Speaker D: Barbara.
[00:08:21] Speaker B: Barbara hale is actually 70 years old. And Jack Hart, who said 68, came the closest.
[00:08:27] Speaker C: Thank you.
[00:08:28] Speaker D: He's in the studio.
[00:08:30] Speaker C: Thank you.
[00:08:30] Speaker B: I beg your pardon, Paula, is he in the studio?
No, he is not.
[00:08:34] Speaker D: He's not. Okay.
[00:08:36] Speaker B: You think he's cheating by looking over my shoulder?
[00:08:38] Speaker C: He gets his one birthday.
[00:08:39] Speaker D: I didn't say cheating.
[00:08:41] Speaker B: No, no, he's not in the studio. He's over at the Prudential center, prestidigitating. Yeah, he's okay.
[00:08:46] Speaker D: Just checking.
[00:08:46] Speaker B: No, he's a traffic central.
[00:08:49] Speaker D: Yeah, just checking.
[00:08:50] Speaker B: Masticating. No, prognosticating. Oh, prognosticating.
Okay. Chewing me. Here's Haley Mills. Remember Haley Mills? I can't think of what she's been in.
[00:08:59] Speaker D: Anybody know Disney movies?
[00:09:01] Speaker B: Pollyanna mostly.
[00:09:02] Speaker D: Yeah. The Parent Trap.
[00:09:04] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay. Why don't you go ahead first, then Paul.
[00:09:08] Speaker C: How old is he?
[00:09:08] Speaker D: No, no, no, no, no, no.
[00:09:10] Speaker C: Go ahead.
[00:09:11] Speaker B: How old is Haley Mills?
[00:09:15] Speaker D: 42.
[00:09:16] Speaker B: 42. Okay, what do you think?
Jack?
47. 47. And Tony?
[00:09:25] Speaker C: 46.
[00:09:26] Speaker B: 46.
And Joe?
[00:09:29] Speaker C: 45.
[00:09:31] Speaker B: John 48.
Louie 46.
[00:09:40] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:09:40] Speaker B: Okay. Same as Tony said.
Okay, let's check the actual. Can you just get a little closer to your phone next time, Louie, so we can hear you just a little bit better? Because Paula thinks you have a sexy voice and, like, would like to hear you sharper.
[00:09:54] Speaker D: Huh?
[00:09:55] Speaker B: Myself, personally, I think you've got a terrible voice, but what the heck? I'm just. I'm just joking.
[00:10:00] Speaker D: Hey, wait a minute. That's. That makes me sound about, like crowing about riggers league. That doesn't give me too much credibility.
[00:10:06] Speaker B: No, you're okay.
Okay. Tell us the significance of this, would you, Tony?
[00:10:13] Speaker C: Well, the name of this show was Fireball XL5. So in honor of Haley's comet, Fireball.
[00:10:24] Speaker B: We really reach. We really reach on this program, don't we? Sometimes you have to take the scenic route to get there.
[00:10:31] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:10:33] Speaker B: Okay, the actual age of Haley Mills. Fade to black. Okay. The actual age of Haley Mills is.46 is correct. And that means Tony and Louie both got that right on the button.
Okay. And also born on this date, April 18, was James Woods, a fine actor.
[00:10:57] Speaker C: He's nuts.
[00:10:59] Speaker B: He's been kind of a nutty character in a number of his movies. That's quite true.
But he takes leave of his senses. Yeah, constantly.
His wife used to say that to him a lot.
Are you taking leave of your senses again? Geez, you just took leave of them yesterday. Now today, and I bet tomorrow you'll take leave of. Anyway, let's start with John from Pennsylvania. How old is James woods, the actor?
[00:11:26] Speaker C: Oh, 52.
[00:11:30] Speaker B: 52. Okay. And Joe, what do you think?
[00:11:34] Speaker C: 48.
[00:11:36] Speaker B: And Louie?
[00:11:39] Speaker C: 54.
[00:11:40] Speaker B: 54.
Okay.
[00:11:43] Speaker D: Paula? 49.
[00:11:45] Speaker B: 49. Say that again.
Oh, geez, That's a lovely voice. Hasn't she?
[00:11:52] Speaker D: It helps to be the only female.
[00:11:55] Speaker B: Yeah, I know it. Oh, God. Women's voices are getting to be more romantic to me every year. I'm beginning to worry about myself.
Tony, what do you say?
[00:12:05] Speaker C: I'll take 45.
[00:12:07] Speaker B: And Jack? Well, you know, when he was younger, he had orthodontia problems, but he also had a terrible voice, which proved that his bark was worth so than his overbite.
Sorry. Did you work that out at home, like, all during the day so you could spring that on us tonight?
What if I were out like a tree, like wood.
No, I understand that. But if I were out sick tonight, for example, and Bob Raleigh came in and didn't have the dumb birthday game, you'd have to swallow that and be sick to death of the fact you couldn't use it. I'd be frustrated. You would be. And meantime would be. Yes, would be. I get that.
Wow.
James Woods, I imagine probably is some kind of an environmentalist. Along with Joan Rivers. Yeah.
Mel Brooks, Greg Lake.
That's right. And Jane Meadows.
I don't know about Ringo Starr, whether that quite fits in.
But anyway, Jack, what do you say? How old is James Woods?
Not to mention Forrest Tucker
[00:13:21] Speaker D: DeForest Kelly.
[00:13:23] Speaker C: That's right.
[00:13:25] Speaker B: No, he's anti environment.
DeForest. Yeah.
[00:13:32] Speaker C: I'm doubled over in pain.
[00:13:36] Speaker D: He would be, yeah.
[00:13:37] Speaker B: Oh, there's that wolf wood thing again.
I'd say he was 44.
Okay, let's check.
See the actual age of James Woods.
[00:13:47] Speaker C: Let's try and find some. Oh, wait a minute. Maybe I do have some woodsy sound effects up. Pause for a minute please.
Wait a minute. I just had a brilliant idea.
[00:13:55] Speaker B: The idea of this whole program.
[00:13:57] Speaker C: There we go.
Wait a minute.
[00:13:59] Speaker B: Being taken over by sound effects and bad jokes.
[00:14:03] Speaker C: Here we go.
Somebody from the cast of Singing in the Room would be.
[00:14:09] Speaker B: I think John is speaking. Let's ignore him.
[00:14:11] Speaker C: Let's.
[00:14:12] Speaker B: Let's not pay any attention. He's still talking. Hear that? Either way, he's still talking.
Okay, we have. It's wabbit season.
Okay. The actual age of James woods is 45, which is what Tony said.
[00:14:32] Speaker C: Hey, thank you very much.
[00:14:33] Speaker B: Are you cheating, Tony?
[00:14:35] Speaker D: I'm not cheating.
[00:14:38] Speaker C: See, that's my David Letterman principle coming through for me. Again, based everyone on the age of David Letterman who has just turned 45 last week.
Yeah.
[00:14:48] Speaker B: And tell you it works. And so James woods is 44 by
[00:14:51] Speaker C: that person and the last one was 46. You know, I kind of based it around that if someone's 70, I still can use the David Letterman principle.
[00:14:59] Speaker B: You just go in the other direction.
[00:15:00] Speaker C: Exactly.
[00:15:02] Speaker B: David Letterman is zero. So you say it that and you're either going negative or positively.
[00:15:08] Speaker C: Yeah. And X equals four.
[00:15:10] Speaker B: Okay, here's here. Here's some birthdays for Monday. Since we've seen the run out of well known people for this day we'll go to Monday the 20th, the day of the Boston Marathon. And on that day was born Jessica Lang.
Let's start with Joe from Lynn on that one. How old is Jessica Lange, Joe?
[00:15:30] Speaker C: Jessica Lange is 46.
[00:15:34] Speaker B: 46.
And what do you think? John 44 and Paula 47.
And Tony.
[00:15:49] Speaker C: I've got two ages I'm bouncing around right now.
[00:15:51] Speaker B: True. Is David Letterman when you need him now?
[00:15:53] Speaker C: Yeah.
No, Paula's age is.
[00:15:58] Speaker D: Paula's age.
[00:15:59] Speaker C: No, no, no, no, no. I mean the one you. The age you said, I believe.
What did you say?
[00:16:04] Speaker D: 47, I think.
[00:16:05] Speaker C: Oh, no, not that one. Forget it.
I'll say she's 43.
[00:16:15] Speaker B: Yeah. Jack, you know, I think Tony's right.
Okay, 43 and Louie.
[00:16:25] Speaker D: Going home.
[00:16:27] Speaker B: Okay, here's the actual age of Jessica. Language.
And it makes me very suspicious of you, Tony, because she is 43.
Oh, never mind. Never mind that because we all think you're cheating.
Okay, we have Louie, Tony and Jack hard. All said, 43, you're really not cheating. You had no idea?
[00:16:55] Speaker D: No.
[00:16:55] Speaker C: My other radio was Gonna pick was 44, but I just didn't pictures. And there's a Letterman principal again.
[00:17:01] Speaker B: What has that got to do with the Letterman principle?
[00:17:04] Speaker C: I am not cheating. It's my own system of figuring out these birthdays.
[00:17:09] Speaker B: Tell me what your system was.
[00:17:11] Speaker C: Letterman system. I based people's ages on David Letterman.
[00:17:16] Speaker B: Well, how?
[00:17:16] Speaker C: Because he's hip and the guest he has on his show and, you know, how could you. I don't want to get into it because it's a secret formula. It's like the secret sauce at McDonald's.
[00:17:26] Speaker B: You got three out of four and three out of four were right on the button.
[00:17:30] Speaker C: But I know.
[00:17:30] Speaker B: How could you expect us to believe that you're not.
[00:17:33] Speaker C: You could have to see the fire in Norm's eyes. He's really.
[00:17:37] Speaker B: I really believe he's cheating.
[00:17:38] Speaker D: You are in the studio.
[00:17:40] Speaker C: No, no, I'm in a different studio. I'm not in the same studio with Norm.
[00:17:43] Speaker B: No, he doesn't have the list for me. But he could very well have maybe got all this from somebody else. I'm just. I just. I can't believe you're hitting three other
[00:17:51] Speaker C: sound effect in your show again. Oops.
[00:17:54] Speaker B: Check his sneaker flaps. I want to get a new producer. I want to get a producer who. I think the guy here's the guy who can't read.
[00:18:01] Speaker C: Don't you do that.
[00:18:02] Speaker B: The guy from Pennsylvania is still talking.
[00:18:06] Speaker C: Last week I got one on Saturday and I lost one.
Debbie and Norma won the game. They were tied. Did I get any flack then?
[00:18:14] Speaker B: No.
[00:18:15] Speaker C: All of a sudden this week. What are you going to say? Last week I had to lose a game. So make it seem like it's legitimate Right? Is that it? Huh?
[00:18:23] Speaker D: Huh?
[00:18:24] Speaker B: Meanwhile, you're stuck in tacky prizes.
[00:18:26] Speaker C: Yeah, that's right. I'm hoarding them at home.
[00:18:30] Speaker B: Okay, Ryan O', Neill, the actor, was also born on the 20th.
[00:18:36] Speaker C: I pass.
[00:18:37] Speaker B: Never mind. You pass. You take the first shot. Go ahead.
[00:18:40] Speaker C: Okay. Ryan o', Neill, eh?
[00:18:42] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:18:47] Speaker C: Geez, could he be 50? 50.
[00:18:54] Speaker B: Okay, Jack. Oh, let me think. Let me do a little bit of math. Now, maybe you could.
You could figure the Dennis Miller principle. Yeah,
[00:19:06] Speaker C: that may apply to that. Could work just as well.
[00:19:08] Speaker B: I figure the Sally Jesse Raphael principle.
[00:19:12] Speaker C: No, only. Only if we're guessing social mutants can you possibly bring that one up?
[00:19:17] Speaker B: Well, you see, you do the Sally Jesse Raphael thing on the. The strength of the spirit, prescription of the glasses. And the stronger the prescription, no doubt, the older they are.
I don't know what you said, Paula, but I want you so desperately.
Okay, what do you think, Jack? How old is Ryan O'? Neal? 49. 49.
[00:19:41] Speaker C: That's my other guess.
[00:19:43] Speaker B: Okay, 49.
Okay. And DePaula?
[00:19:47] Speaker D: Oh, I don't know. I'm losing anyway. 51.
[00:19:51] Speaker B: You're losing anyway. 51.
[00:19:52] Speaker C: That was my other guess.
Okay, I had three guesses, and those are those three.
51.
[00:20:00] Speaker D: Well, at least I'm doing better than Mike Greenwell. I'm in the ballpark.
[00:20:07] Speaker B: I think he got a winning hit, didn't he, in the game this past night?
[00:20:10] Speaker D: I don't know. I was up.
[00:20:11] Speaker C: San Wenda Field is choice.
[00:20:13] Speaker B: That's right. Okay, Joe, what do you think?
[00:20:15] Speaker C: 51.
[00:20:17] Speaker B: Also, also, you're going along with Paula.
[00:20:20] Speaker C: You know, that's the coffee of choice among baseball players. Fielder's choice.
[00:20:25] Speaker B: I thought it was a coffee.
[00:20:27] Speaker C: Yeah. Called Taster's Choice, and I said that's the coffee.
[00:20:30] Speaker B: Oh, I see.
[00:20:31] Speaker C: The choice.
[00:20:33] Speaker B: Oh, I get you. Okay, John, what do you think I'm gonna guess?
[00:20:38] Speaker C: He's about my son's age who was 50 this year. 50.
[00:20:42] Speaker B: 50, okay.
[00:20:43] Speaker C: Oh, the old John sun principle. Oh, yeah, get that one in there. Now, if he's 50 now, maybe he's going to be 51 on Tuesday.
[00:20:53] Speaker B: Well, no, we're asking you how old he'll be on Tuesday. How old would he be at that birthday? So this is like a trick question?
No, no, I'm asking how old he's going to be on his birthday, which is the. Which is actually Monday the 20th.
You gonna still stick with 20? With 50, rather.
50. Okay.
I don't know where that was. That. That's. That funny Louie.
[00:21:18] Speaker C: What do you think I'm gonna go 49.
[00:21:21] Speaker B: 49. Okay.
Okay. Let's get the actual age of Ryan O'. Neill.
I know this is significant.
I'd be damned if I can. His daughter's married to a tennis player.
[00:21:36] Speaker C: Very good, Jack. All right.
[00:21:39] Speaker B: Oh, Tatum O' Neal is married to John McEnroe.
I didn't know that.
[00:21:44] Speaker C: Where have you been?
[00:21:46] Speaker B: I've been.
[00:21:46] Speaker C: You've been off the court, buddy.
[00:21:47] Speaker B: That's right. I've been feeding my horse in Middleton. We don't know anything about it. Back up here.
[00:21:52] Speaker D: Hey, wait a minute. That's closer to Boston than Drake.
[00:21:54] Speaker B: It is Middleton. How far. How close are you to Brock? To Boston?
[00:21:59] Speaker D: I'm up by Lowell.
[00:22:01] Speaker B: No, I know where you are, but that's about the same.
[00:22:04] Speaker D: No, Middleton's close, huh?
[00:22:05] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:22:06] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:22:07] Speaker B: Okay, well, come to my house and we'll go on to work together.
[00:22:12] Speaker D: You're still talking.
[00:22:14] Speaker B: I believe that's. That's Pennsylvania speaking.
Okay. The actual. And of course, Ryan o'.
[00:22:21] Speaker C: Neill.
[00:22:21] Speaker B: One of his. One of my favorite movies was what's Up, Doc? He and Barbra Streisand. Remember that?
Madeleine Kahn was in that. I saw that movie about eight times, and not on videotape, but I actually paid to go into the movie theater. I really love that movie.
[00:22:37] Speaker D: The musical rocks.
[00:22:40] Speaker B: The musical rocks.
[00:22:41] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:22:42] Speaker C: What?
[00:22:43] Speaker B: Yes, the musical rocks. Yeah. Those were the things that was stolen. Oh, yes, that's right.
Okay.
What's up, Doc?
Oh, that's right. Good. Okay, the actual age of Ryan o' Neill is.
[00:23:00] Speaker C: I already played the tennis.
What else do you want?
[00:23:03] Speaker B: Oh, that's it. That's it. Okay. The answer age is 51.
[00:23:07] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:23:08] Speaker B: Oh, Paula and Joe.
[00:23:11] Speaker D: Oh, yay.
[00:23:11] Speaker C: Both.
[00:23:12] Speaker B: Oh, yay.
[00:23:19] Speaker C: You know, he keeps talking, we just lower his line and punch him back up again.
[00:23:24] Speaker B: No, actually, the life of Pennsylvania here is very low. Anyway.
Real low. I mean, really, nothing. You know, I'm going to try the next couple of times here. I'm going to give you an event that happened on this date, April 18, which is obviously today, and you tell me the year that it happened. A little different.
And let's just see. For example, this was the year of the San Francisco earthquake.
The big San Francisco earthquake. Do you have any idea what year that was? I'll start with you, Louie. What was the year of the big. The one they made the movie out of with.
Let's see, it was Clark gable and Jeanette McDonald, I think. Wasn't she in that, too?
I think that's Pennsylvania speaking.
Was it Alice? You may be right. I don't know. Okay. We have a fellow who has a book, but he's not with us now.
There's not another book in the station. The one who has Leonard Malton's film book would know that anyway.
The San Francisco earthquake. What year do you think that was, Louis?
[00:24:47] Speaker C: 86.
[00:24:48] Speaker B: 86?
[00:24:49] Speaker C: Yeah. I have no clue.
[00:24:51] Speaker B: Okay, you're talking about the recent one. I was thinking about the, you know, the real one that destroyed.
[00:24:56] Speaker C: Not that fake one they had back in 86.
[00:24:58] Speaker B: Yeah. About 700 people died. Okay. John, what do you think? What year was that?
[00:25:04] Speaker C: Well, I think if they would stay up in Maine, up in Pennsylvania, you know, I think it was about 19 ought five.
[00:25:12] Speaker B: 19 ought five, is that what you said?
[00:25:16] Speaker C: Right.
[00:25:17] Speaker B: 19 ought five.
[00:25:21] Speaker C: I think he said 40.
[00:25:23] Speaker B: What did you say? 19 ought five.
Okay, he did say that. Yeah. Okay, we'll mark that down here then. And Joe, what do you think when the day.
[00:25:35] Speaker C: 1909.
[00:25:36] Speaker B: 1909, he reckons 09. 09. Yes. And parlor.
[00:25:43] Speaker D: Parlor.
[00:25:44] Speaker B: Parlor. From Dracket.
[00:25:45] Speaker D: He just made me into a room.
Parlor.
1901.
[00:25:56] Speaker B: 1901.
Okay. What do you think, Tony?
[00:26:03] Speaker C: Well, 1909 is pretty good, but I also thought it was maybe 28. 1928.
[00:26:08] Speaker B: 1928.
[00:26:10] Speaker D: Okay, well, I was the last guest on. On David Letterman. 28 years old.
[00:26:13] Speaker C: I was 11 years old.
Can I change my answer? No. All right. Paula? No.
[00:26:19] Speaker D: Okay.
[00:26:20] Speaker B: Okay. Jack, what do you think?
1905. 1905.
Okay, let's get the actual. The actual. I heard somebody say, can I change my answer? You know, sway. I went over that quickly.
[00:26:34] Speaker C: I think it was coming from Pennsylvania, wasn't it?
[00:26:36] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:26:37] Speaker C: Coming from Medford.
[00:26:38] Speaker B: Medford? Why? What did you want to Change it to?
[00:26:41] Speaker C: 1910.
[00:26:42] Speaker B: 1910.
Usually we don't allow this.
[00:26:47] Speaker D: Wasn't that a Beachy song?
[00:26:49] Speaker B: Pardon me?
[00:26:50] Speaker D: Wasn't that a bee Jean song?
1910 mining disaster.
[00:26:54] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
In the event of something. Yeah. Have you seen the world?
[00:27:00] Speaker C: Don't let anyone know. You know any Bee Gee socks, please.
[00:27:03] Speaker B: I suppose you're right.
[00:27:04] Speaker D: Oh, geez. I just realized what I did. Nerd City.
[00:27:07] Speaker B: Okay, the actual date, the actual year.
This is the year that the San Francisco devastating earthquake struck San Francisco. Followed by raging fires. About 700 people died. It was on this date, April 18, in nineteen six.
[00:27:26] Speaker C: Oh, man.
[00:27:27] Speaker B: So we have. John from Pennsylvania has won.
He said 1905, and so did Jack.
And those are the two winners.
[00:27:35] Speaker C: Here we go.
They're starting to shake this place up now.
[00:27:42] Speaker B: Oh, I get it.
Well, 1905, I would assume is probably before everybody's time. Who's talking right now?
[00:27:51] Speaker C: Rumble.
[00:27:52] Speaker B: 19. Six, rather.
We'll start a rumble.
Well, it never ends, doesn't it, huh?
Why, God, you guys are all cracking up.
You know, if I lost that, I would have been shattered.
Okay, let's. Let's check the way the things line up now.
[00:28:16] Speaker D: I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it.
[00:28:19] Speaker B: Well, you have you. No, everybody has won at least once.
Jack has won three times.
[00:28:24] Speaker C: Thank you.
[00:28:25] Speaker B: And Tony has won three times.
[00:28:27] Speaker C: Should have been four.
[00:28:28] Speaker D: But
[00:28:30] Speaker B: why should it have been four?
[00:28:31] Speaker C: Because I was going to say 51 for Ryan O'. Neal.
[00:28:34] Speaker B: Oh, I see.
[00:28:36] Speaker C: And I. I didn't. Because I didn't want to hear it from you, that's why.
[00:28:40] Speaker D: So you have three and a half.
[00:28:41] Speaker C: I didn't want to. I didn't want any more.
[00:28:43] Speaker B: Well, it would have been suspicious.
[00:28:44] Speaker C: Yeah, exactly.
[00:28:45] Speaker B: So it would have been.
[00:28:46] Speaker C: So I threw. See, I threw the game.
[00:28:48] Speaker D: Three and a half. Okay, we'll give you three and a half.
[00:28:51] Speaker B: Okay, Louie out in Medford has got two correct answers.
And John, Joe and Paula each have won.
[00:29:00] Speaker C: It's been a very successful game so far.
[00:29:06] Speaker B: The line to Pennsylvania, we're sorry to inform you, has been
[00:29:12] Speaker D: an earthquake.
[00:29:14] Speaker B: Were having technical troubles getting to Pennsylvania. Okay, here's another one. The first game played in Yankee Stadium.
First game. What year was that? The. The Yankees defeated the Red Sox in that game 4 to 1.
Have any idea what. What year that would be? The first game played in Yankee Stadium? There are some clues if you've been following the news lately.
They've been talking anniversaries and all of that stuff. Oh, let's start with Jack Hart.
And Jack, you tell me. The first game that was ever played in the Yankee Stadium, New York. And it did involve the Yankees and the Red Sox. Well, there. There was some controversy as to the true date of the first game that was played because while they were building it, the security guards had a pinochle thing going in the back.
Oh, that was swell. Check. Yeah. Yeah, that was really good.
No wonder they stick you out there in the Prudential center all by yourself.
[00:30:14] Speaker C: Totally.
[00:30:14] Speaker B: And I'm the fool. I let you come in contact with people.
Life is sweet. Life is good. Let us thank him for our foot.
Hey, be quiet, Pennsylvania.
Okay, Jack, what do you say?
I couldn't tell you.
1911. 1911. Okay, what do you think, Tony, of what's. How do you apply the. The David Letterman principle?
[00:31:04] Speaker C: Wait a minute. Hold on now. Wait a minute.
Hold on. Hold on.
19.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Okay, I'm doing some math.
I really am, though. Just hang on.
1917.
[00:31:29] Speaker B: 1917. Okay.
And the parlor. What do you think?
[00:31:35] Speaker D: This is, like, really way out of my league.
Oh,
[00:31:41] Speaker B: not even in the ballpark, huh?
She's gonna strike out.
[00:31:46] Speaker D: I feel like Linda.
[00:31:47] Speaker B: Yeah, see, Linda's league is the. The name of the group.
I know one day, Paula Linda will be so famous with her group, and she'll never know me ever again. I know you show. I know there's these show folk.
I'm just. I feel just so flattered.
Both Drake and Pennsylvania are both fading into oblivion with their lions here. What do you say?
[00:32:16] Speaker D: I don't know. I'll say 1917.
[00:32:18] Speaker B: 19 is the same as Tony said.
[00:32:20] Speaker D: Sure, why not?
[00:32:22] Speaker B: Okay, Joe, what do you think?
[00:32:23] Speaker C: 1922.
[00:32:25] Speaker B: 1922.
And John, I was going to say
[00:32:29] Speaker C: 22, and I think I will.
[00:32:32] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:32:32] Speaker C: And I was going to say that, too.
[00:32:34] Speaker B: Oh, be quiet, Louie. What do you think?
[00:32:38] Speaker C: 19, 19.
[00:32:39] Speaker B: 19 19. Okay, here's. Here's the answer. Now,
[00:32:45] Speaker C: these are the guys left over from the Red Sox game today.
[00:32:48] Speaker B: First. First game played at Yankee Stadium where the Yankees defeated the Red Sox in that opener four to one.
The year was 1923.
So I guess I was a little old.
John and Joe both. Both wonder. And they both said 1922.
[00:33:15] Speaker C: I have to ask you this, Norm.
[00:33:17] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:33:18] Speaker C: You confused me by saying there was an anniversary involved. What exactly anniversary would be? 1923.
[00:33:26] Speaker B: The actual anniversary occurred nine years ago in the year
[00:33:34] Speaker C: 1806.
[00:33:38] Speaker B: It was 1983.
And 1983 was the 20, 30, 40, 60, I believe was the 50th, 60th anniversary or whatever it was. I don't know.
[00:33:52] Speaker C: You had me thinking. Well, the Fenway park is 75. That was a few years ago. And I said, well, Yankee must be, you know, 70 years old.
[00:34:01] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:34:01] Speaker C: That's why I had said 19.
What? I said. And, oh, anyway, did you hear the no Hat Kicker?
[00:34:08] Speaker D: I'm sitting here with a book that says official Major League Baseball record Book, and I can't find it.
[00:34:15] Speaker B: Well, that's why, because we have some snappy questions that are given to you very quickly.
And see, now, I didn't throw John and Joe off, Tony, so don't give me that.
[00:34:23] Speaker C: Yeah, you threw me off. See, I know, I know. That's why 22 would have been my other answer. 70 years old.
1993. And now, please see, the clue. The clue is they call it the house that Ruth built.
Right.
[00:34:38] Speaker B: Oh, that's true.
[00:34:39] Speaker C: So he had to be playing.
[00:34:42] Speaker B: That's right.
Yeah, that's right.
[00:34:45] Speaker C: But he wasn't playing in the teens yet.
[00:34:48] Speaker B: He was playing in the 20s.
[00:34:50] Speaker C: Right?
[00:34:51] Speaker B: That's a very good bit of logic. Is that you, Joe?
[00:34:53] Speaker C: Yes, it is.
[00:34:54] Speaker B: Very, very good logic.
[00:34:56] Speaker D: Thank you.
[00:34:57] Speaker C: He was born in Pennsylvania, I believe. We have a transmission coming in for Pennsylvania now. Let's hook up with it live now.
Okay.
[00:35:05] Speaker B: Let's just join.
Let's join him already in progress.
Let's do just one more.
And this is a birthday of a person, Tony Danza, whose birthday is actually the 21st, which was next Tuesday.
[00:35:20] Speaker D: Wasn't he in Sex and that movie that they were talking about?
[00:35:25] Speaker B: That's right, he was.
[00:35:26] Speaker D: Ta da.
[00:35:28] Speaker B: Single women, single bars. That's right, he was.
Okay, Tony Danza, we'll start with Louie. What do you think? How old will Tony Danza be on Tuesday?
Because you get two, you get a chance to tie all these other guys up at this point, whatever that. Whatever that might throw you.
[00:35:54] Speaker C: 34.
[00:35:55] Speaker B: 34.
And John?
[00:35:58] Speaker D: 36.
[00:36:00] Speaker B: 36.
Joe, what do you say?
[00:36:03] Speaker C: 42.
[00:36:04] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:36:05] Speaker D: Paula, 39.
[00:36:14] Speaker B: I'm sorry, did you actually say 39?
[00:36:21] Speaker D: Why not?
[00:36:23] Speaker B: No reason. You know, why not 39.
You know.
[00:36:30] Speaker D: Oh, Jack, please.
[00:36:33] Speaker B: Look, Mary.
Look, Mary, Mary, Mary.
Okay, Tony, what do you think? I've done my little shtick here. We can move along.
[00:36:49] Speaker D: 42.
[00:36:53] Speaker C: I'll say 42.
[00:36:54] Speaker B: Also 42. Okay.
And Jack, what do you say? 38.
Oh, no.
[00:37:01] Speaker C: 38.
[00:37:04] Speaker B: Okay. The actual age next Tuesday of Tony Danza will be.
That's right. He always. He was a boxer at the time.
[00:37:14] Speaker C: I didn't have the taxi theme, so.
[00:37:16] Speaker B: Okay, okay. Tony Danza actually will be. Will be 43.
Oh, and so Joe, who said 42, and Tony, who said 42, both are the winners.
[00:37:34] Speaker C: Another time I almost threw the game by not guessing. Exactly.
[00:37:37] Speaker D: Okay, Tony, the one time you went on before me that I agreed with you, I lost everything else. You won.
[00:37:44] Speaker C: That's why.
[00:37:46] Speaker B: Okay, so tallying up the scores, I see that the overwhelming winner was Paula.
[00:37:54] Speaker C: Hey, hey, wait a minute.
[00:37:55] Speaker D: Are we playing gutterball here?
[00:37:58] Speaker B: Hey, Paula, what's that worth to you, baby?
I'm throwing the game right into your lap, sweetie. It's worth something to me.
Okay, no, actually, the. The Tony. Tony has got four. Four Correct. And he is. That comes out. That tops.
[00:38:17] Speaker C: The kids are getting strong every week talking about.
[00:38:27] Speaker B: Carrying Tony, of course, around on their shoulders. And a lot of. Lot of. A lot of big winners there and now big winners. But A lot of people did very well. Jack, you did well with three. Thank you.
And thank you very much. And also with three.
Let me see.
Joe got three also.
[00:38:47] Speaker C: Thank you.
[00:38:47] Speaker D: Wow.
[00:38:48] Speaker B: And Louie got two, which is not. Which is good. John got two.
Oh, there he goes.
Well, wait till they hear about this all over Pennsylvania in the morning.
[00:39:01] Speaker C: I need the money. I need the money.
[00:39:03] Speaker B: Okay.
Unfortunately, the only person who gets a prize is Tony, and he's. He can't get the prize because he's an employee of Westinghouse. And it's a rule that I made up that has no validity at all.
[00:39:16] Speaker C: Sorry. I'd seen the prizes.
[00:39:18] Speaker B: Yeah, prizes really stink up the place. You wouldn't. You wouldn't want them anyway.
You couldn't hardly wait to bring them to, like, to somebody's flea market.
You'd say, keep all the money. I just want to get it the heck out of the house.
I want to thank you all for playing Louie. You did very, very well. And thank you.
Okay.
[00:39:41] Speaker C: I feel as though everybody was a winner in this game.
That's easy for me to say.
[00:39:48] Speaker B: Everybody was a winner. They were all wonderful. Including you, John from Pennsylvania.
[00:39:52] Speaker C: I know. Listen, Norm, I really enjoyed being on. I wanted to talk to you that there was such a movie in 1929 as Singing in the Ring. Yeah, that woman was right.
I don't care what Malt or whatever his name is. I have two of his books, too, and he doesn't carry that one. But there is 1 in 29.
[00:40:13] Speaker B: How did you know that?
[00:40:15] Speaker C: I saw it. The Letterman Principle.
And it was a well known. It was really a well known.
It was a good movie.
[00:40:26] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:40:27] Speaker C: It was. You Never go in the Forest. At the time,
[00:40:32] Speaker B: it was Based on a 1919 movie, Whaling and Walla Walla. I'm sorry, John. You're. You're starting to fade out so badly. But I thank you very much for being part of it and thanks for the information.
[00:40:46] Speaker D: Singing in the earthquake.
[00:40:48] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:40:50] Speaker B: Quivering in the air. Quivering in the quake. I thought, I can't wait to get. I can't wait to get rid of all these bunch of losers.
Joe, thanks a lot.
[00:40:59] Speaker C: Thank you, Norbert.
[00:41:00] Speaker B: In the quiz, Joe did very well with three.
I think a good one to get rid of right now would be Jack. Thank you, Jack. Thanks a lot. I'll talk to you very soon. Okay. But certainly not about anything terribly important.
I don't know why I said that either. Tony wants to hang up on me. Go ahead, Tony.
[00:41:19] Speaker C: Oh, I see. You're just gonna leave Paula there?
[00:41:21] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:41:22] Speaker C: All right, fine.
[00:41:22] Speaker D: Thanks, guys.
[00:41:25] Speaker B: You know what that means, Paula?
[00:41:27] Speaker D: What does that mean, dear?
[00:41:28] Speaker B: It means that just you and I are together now. We've got rid of all those monsters, but I have to get rid of you, too.
[00:41:38] Speaker D: I'll go on.
[00:41:40] Speaker B: Yeah. That's why they call me the monster of Soldiers Field Road.
Hey, thanks very much for playing there. I appreciate it. Hope to see you soon.
[00:41:52] Speaker D: You, too. Happy holidays and holidays.
[00:41:55] Speaker B: You too. I hope it's a great Easter for you. Thanks a lot.
[00:41:57] Speaker D: Bye bye, now.
[00:41:58] Speaker B: Bye bye now. Okay, and I think you're all winners because you're all going to get a chance to hear the commercial about scratching and itching.
[00:42:07] Speaker E: And today we're talking to people from all across America about their skin problems. Here's William Santa of South Bend, Indiana.
[00:42:14] Speaker C: Just dry, itchy skin. It gets bad sometimes. I guess it's movement of the fabric of my shirt against my stomach. Also on my feet, I have a problem. The ankles and the instep. It starts itching from getting too dry.
[00:42:30] Speaker E: And Sharon Doherty of Reading, Pennsylvania, told us this about her problem.
[00:42:34] Speaker D: I have problems with a taping lash that itch 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. It was terrible.
[00:42:49] Speaker E: And Sandra Harrod of Alvin, Texas, told us this.
[00:42:53] Speaker C: I have allergies and my skin is very sensitive.
[00:42:56] Speaker D: It was a chafing, a rash, irritation. It itched and it was very sore
[00:43:04] Speaker C: and very uncomfortable for two months had
[00:43:06] Speaker D: just been absolutely miserable.
[00:43:08] Speaker E: 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?
[00:43:28] Speaker C: I think Gold Bond's a great product. It does what it says it'll do, eliminate itching and promote healing.
[00:43:35] Speaker E: Sharon Doherty, how did Gold Bond work for you?
[00:43:37] Speaker D: Gold Bond is like gold to me. 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.
[00:43:48] Speaker E: And Sandra Harrod, what do you have to say about therapeutic Gold Bond Medicated Powder?

[00:44:31] Speaker F: Some people think if they can manufacture an anti theft device, they can match the Club. Not a chance. The Club is more than a look, it's a legend. Winner international has taken the Club to the streets and perfected the ultimate weapon to fight car theft. Called the Club, the Winter Corporation knows how to produce an anti theft device that's almost impossible to defeat. Made of tempered steel, the Club itself cannot be sawed through. And the bright red club fits into easily across your steering wheel making your car undriveable. The high visibility of the Club discourages break ins. You can buy a superior product for under $60 that's insured for up to $500 of your insurance deductible. The police realize how serious the problem of car theft is and have initiated operation Lockup and recommend buying and using the Club to protect your car or truck. 220,000 police officers, members of the Fraternal Order of Police say buy and use the Club. But don't be fooled by look alikes or cheap imitations. Ask for the Club by name. It says the Club on the handle. Available at Montgomery Ward, the Fair True Value Service, Star Hardware, Lapin Auto, Auto Palace, Riches, Century Hardware Stores, Speedy Muffler King Shops and Sears.

[00:47:06] Speaker B: Okay, the time's about three minutes before four. Let's talk with Norma in the from the North End. Hi, Norma.
[00:47:12] Speaker D: I'm getting a little tired of people accusing Tony of cheating. He is a sweetheart. He wouldn't do those things.
[00:47:20] Speaker B: Now who would dare accuse him of
[00:47:23] Speaker D: that when I got four. Right. Last week. Right. And Debbie. Debbie and I tied.
[00:47:29] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:47:29] Speaker D: I don't know if she went through it, but I had friends saying you had those answers in front of you. I know the feeling. It is lousy.
So I didn't have answers in front of me.
[00:47:39] Speaker B: Yeah, right. You came to Tony's rescue and his. And you sided with him. And that's a kind lovely thing to do.
[00:47:45] Speaker D: You could tell by the way he talks that he's as honest as the day is long. And he's as pure as the driven slush.
[00:47:52] Speaker B: Yeah. No, I don't think he cheated either. I just. I've come to that close. I don't think so.
[00:47:57] Speaker D: The only thing is, I think if he doesn't win.
Right?
[00:48:01] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:48:02] Speaker D: He can't win because he's WBG then I think the highest person that doesn't work with WBG should win something.
[00:48:08] Speaker B: I suppose somebody should win. I think you're right. Maybe from here on we'll change the rules a little bit and we'll do that starting tomorrow.
You're right. You know, Norma, you breathe some fresh air into these trouble studios.
[00:48:21] Speaker D: Oh, I do?
[00:48:22] Speaker B: Yeah. You just did that then. And I think you're right. We'll do that tomorrow.
[00:48:26] Speaker D: How you doing?
[00:48:28] Speaker B: I'm not doing badly. How about you?
[00:48:30] Speaker D: Yeah, pretty good. I'm doing all right.
[00:48:32] Speaker B: Hey, you're okay. The weather. If the weather get places to go on Easter.
[00:48:36] Speaker C: No, really.
[00:48:37] Speaker B: You gonna be by yourself?
[00:48:38] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:48:39] Speaker B: Will that make you very sad?
[00:48:41] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:48:41] Speaker B: I'm sorry.
[00:48:42] Speaker C: Yeah, well, I'm sorry.
[00:48:44] Speaker B: That's true.
[00:48:44] Speaker D: It'll be all right.
[00:48:46] Speaker B: Well, let's do that. If the weather were nicer and it was sun, that would buoy your spirits up a little bit. I think when the weather is just so raw and damp and dark like this, that doesn't help.
[00:48:57] Speaker D: Believe it or not, there's a place that's got a bingo open. I might go there. But bingo bore you? So I'm not going to go into this.
[00:49:04] Speaker B: No, no, bingo doesn't bore me. I get a kick out of it. I just haven't played it much lately. But, no, I'm not against that.
[00:49:10] Speaker D: There was a place in Malden that's got a bingo open. I don't know about any place else. I'm going over there.
[00:49:16] Speaker B: Bingo on Sunday, this coming day.
[00:49:18] Speaker D: I was very surprised when they said
[00:49:20] Speaker B: they would have one on Easter Sunday. Yeah, okay.
[00:49:24] Speaker D: Believe it or not, there's a little nun that sits there, plays bingo on Sunday.
And before the game, she sits there and she gambles with cards.
[00:49:33] Speaker B: Isn't that something?
[00:49:35] Speaker D: I just never would have seen that in one other time.
[00:49:38] Speaker B: No, I know it.
[00:49:39] Speaker D: I think it's harmless, you know.
[00:49:41] Speaker B: Oh, I think it is, too. I think it's time. But whatever gives you enjoyment. You're not hurting anybody, and you're getting some pleasure out of it. I think it's fine. And I think you're fine, too, Norman. I wish you the happiest of Easters. I know it's gonna be a tough one for you, but I hope it's not too unhappy.
[00:49:56] Speaker D: You must be having a kind of a sad pass over yourself.
[00:50:00] Speaker B: Well, it's not too great, but I have relatives and I have the kids and that really helps a whole lot.
[00:50:04] Speaker D: That helps.
[00:50:04] Speaker B: Believe me, it really does help. Hey, I gotta go because the news is coming on about six seconds.
[00:50:10] Speaker D: Bye. Bye.
[00:50:11] Speaker C: Bye.
