[00:00:00] Speaker A: Xin Zhao to Vietnam. Thanks for being here and adding to our audience in the teen canteen. Not only is this a throwback because it's a dumb birthday game from April 23, 1995, but the birthdays featured are as well. And with that knowledge, let's title this the Situation Norman or Sit Norm. The players Jackie, Jim and Pepperlan Larry from Orleans. The whispery Hope Shower, producing and playing in studio. The whispery Keith Shields producing and playing in studio. And the romantically voiced Ken Newman in traffic. The birthdays Janet Blair, Shirley Temple Black, Sandra Dee, Joyce DeWitt, Valerie Bertinelli, Lee Majors, Warren Spahn, Tony Esposito and Jan Hooks. Other silliness norm Reed's an AccuWeather forecast. He teases a guest, Linda Rosenkrantz, who was co author of the Last Word on First Names, the definitive A to Z guide to the best and worst baby names. We get a post game call from Gene on a car phone in Virginia and suddenly we will hear what sounds like a transistor radio being recorded on another device. Norm sounds like he's in slow motion at the start as we pick up his story about quote unquote playing for the Red Sox. And lastly, we enjoy some brief Jack and Norm repartee and a hilarious commercial read for the traffic sponsor. Oh, and we got some great commercials. Silver City Ford Hyundai Coachman and Silver City Dodge Toyota. A Bob McMahon voice spot for a sleep study at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Bromo Seltzer with Richard Marinucci from Marlton, New Jersey. Joseph Nailback of Susquehanna, Pennsylvania for Gold Bond Medicated Anti Itch Cream.

[00:02:47] Speaker B: Hello, Jackie.
[00:02:48] Speaker C: Hi.
[00:02:48] Speaker B: How you doing, Jack? Have you played the game with us before?
[00:02:51] Speaker C: Maybe last year.
[00:02:53] Speaker B: Maybe last year. You're not sure because it was not one of the highlights of your life. Is that what you're saying?
Oh, don't say it that way.
[00:03:00] Speaker D: I'm sorry.
[00:03:01] Speaker B: Okay. No, but did you win?
[00:03:03] Speaker D: No.
[00:03:03] Speaker B: Maybe you win now because you know if you do win, you win something really tasteless and tacky. You understand that?
[00:03:09] Speaker C: Yes, I do.

[00:03:33] Speaker D: Well, good morning, Noam.
How are you?
[00:03:38] Speaker B: You don't even care how I am.
[00:03:40] Speaker D: I don't give a damn. I was just taking care of my winter hair chair. I didn't know you had a powder for it.
[00:03:45] Speaker B: I didn't understand a word you just said.
[00:03:48] Speaker D: I got an ad that you've been going with a winter itch.
[00:03:52] Speaker B: Yes, yes. Yeah, that's a new commercial we just started using.
[00:03:56] Speaker D: Could someone explain that?
[00:03:58] Speaker B: No, I don't think so. Are you okay, Larry?
[00:04:00] Speaker D: Huh?
[00:04:00] Speaker B: Are you okay?
[00:04:02] Speaker D: Of course not.
[00:04:03] Speaker B: Okay. Have you ever played the dumb birthday game before?
[00:04:05] Speaker D: I have never had the pleasure.
[00:04:07] Speaker B: Have you ever heard the dumb birthday game before?
[00:04:09] Speaker D: Oh, too many times.
[00:04:11] Speaker B: Oh, okay, okay. You never heard the Go Bond commercial before, though.
[00:04:15] Speaker D: I don't. I've heard that a couple of times. This evening? Yep.
[00:04:18] Speaker B: This evening.
[00:04:19] Speaker D: Yes.
[00:04:20] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:04:21] Speaker D: Do we get the tickets validated?
[00:04:24] Speaker B: Yes, if you're part. Yeah, if you.
[00:04:26] Speaker D: Oh, wait a minute.
[00:04:27] Speaker B: Your parking. Your parking tickets will be validated? Yes, they will be. And if pain persists or is unusually severe, see your doctor. Okay.
Okay. Also, we're going to be talking with Hope Shower. Our producer here at WBZ will be playing the game with us again. It's nice to have you again.
[00:04:45] Speaker E: It's nice to be back.
[00:04:47] Speaker B: Her voice gets softer and sexier each night.
But before, within another week, you'll be going just kind of breathing hard into the microphone. It's the late nights.
[00:04:56] Speaker E: That's what does it to you.
[00:04:57] Speaker D: Oh, come on.
[00:04:58] Speaker B: It's not like that is.
Anyway, Keith. Keith Shields and other producers are here with us. Hello, Keith.
[00:05:04] Speaker F: It's good to be back.
[00:05:07] Speaker G: It didn't.
[00:05:08] Speaker D: It didn't work.
[00:05:10] Speaker B: I'm afraid to find out what Ken.
I'm afraid to find out what ken Newman, the WBC 24 hour traffic network reporter, sounds like. Hello, Ken.
[00:05:20] Speaker H: Well, it's very late out here.
Coming at you
[00:05:26] Speaker F: romantic dudes here.
[00:05:27] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't blame you. I can say we could do the traffic reports like that from here on. Here are some of the.
It's not interfering with traffic at all.
But I just looked in the window of one and I can understand why the windshield is all steamed up.
Yeah, we'll have more traffic news in the hour.
Okay, we're all set to play the dumb birthday game anyway. And which is kind of anticlimactic, isn't it?
Pardon me, Larry.
[00:05:57] Speaker D: I said this is fun.
[00:05:58] Speaker B: This is fun. That's right. Yeah. This is. This is the moment. This is. Even if your day was really dull and boring, this is the. It comes all together now.
[00:06:07] Speaker D: All.
[00:06:07] Speaker B: Or it all comes together. Whatever you say. Anyway, today is Janet Blair's birthday. The actress.
[00:06:12] Speaker D: Who.
[00:06:13] Speaker B: Are you going to go through all this all through the program, Larry?
[00:06:16] Speaker D: No, I. I missed the word.
[00:06:17] Speaker B: Janet Blair.
All right, Janet Blair from Altoona, Pennsylvania. Films include Boys Night out, the Fabulous Dorsey's. My sister Eileen, she was on TV in the Smith Family. Do you all know Janet Blair?
[00:06:32] Speaker F: Never heard of her.
[00:06:34] Speaker H: I'm afraid not.
[00:06:35] Speaker E: Let's see. We have to come up with a Jack Hart. Well, let's see. Didn't she play Star Trek?
[00:06:41] Speaker B: He would know everything she did since birth. That's true. Okay, let's. Let's try it anyway. Even though she doesn't seem to be all that well known.
Janet. Pretty. Pretty kid. She. She was with. Not a kid anymore, but she was when she was in My Sister Eileen with the Rosalind Russell. There were two sisters from Ohio trying to make it big in the big city and quite a good show. Anyway, Jackie, what do you think? Janet play. Do you know that name at all?
[00:07:08] Speaker D: No, I don't.
I don't know how old the facing is either.
[00:07:17] Speaker B: Well, she was in. I know. I wish I could tell you the years of my sister Eileen, but it. I think it goes back. If this will help you guess her age. It goes back at least to the 50s, maybe the 40s.
[00:07:29] Speaker F: Was Eileen a younger sister or was she an older sister?
[00:07:33] Speaker B: Yeah, that was the movie. But, but of the two sisters, Roslyn Russell played the older sister and Janet Blair paid. Eileen, her sister. She was the younger sister.
[00:07:44] Speaker C: I'll say 55.
[00:07:45] Speaker B: 55, okay.
Jim, what do you think?
[00:07:51] Speaker D: Yeah, I was talking to Janet last week and she told me she was
[00:07:54] Speaker B: going to be 75. Going to be 75? No kidding? Did she invite you? Her party?
[00:08:01] Speaker D: Pardon me?
[00:08:02] Speaker B: Never mind. I missed it. No, I asked you if she invited you to her party.
[00:08:07] Speaker D: No.
[00:08:08] Speaker B: Yeah, that's the way she is. She's always been like that.
[00:08:10] Speaker D: She is like that.
[00:08:11] Speaker B: Yeah. Larry, what do you think? How old is Janet Blair today? April 23rd.
[00:08:15] Speaker D: I know she's 72.
[00:08:17] Speaker B: 72, okay.
Who said. Is there somebody talking to somebody or is that. That.
[00:08:24] Speaker H: That is the vital traffic information. As you know, I'm here with my finger on the pulse of the city's traffic and that's just some.
[00:08:32] Speaker B: And that's some information that's pouring into your desk over there to make sure that you know exactly what's happening everywhere.
[00:08:38] Speaker H: Ex. Exactly.
[00:08:39] Speaker B: Yeah. So in order to keep us up to date with traffic information so that we may avoid bottlenecks and travel smoothly on our visits at wherever we're going. As a public service.
You hope. What do you think? How old is Janet Blair?
[00:08:54] Speaker E: I think she's at least 72.
[00:08:57] Speaker B: At least 72. You're gonna say the same thing Larry said. Okay. Keith, what do you think?
[00:09:03] Speaker F: 73.
[00:09:05] Speaker B: 73. Okay.
[00:09:07] Speaker H: And Ken, I'll say on the low end, 71.
[00:09:11] Speaker B: Okay. Actually, Janet Blair, you. A lot of you came close, despite the fact that none of you seem to have ever heard of her. She's 74 years old today. So that means that the. Keith said 73. Hooray. And Jim said 75.
So those are the two winners this first round.
And how about Shirley Temple, black American actress? Ambassador.
[00:09:37] Speaker F: Ambassador Black.
[00:09:38] Speaker B: Yeah. The child star of the 1930s. Grew up, married, had three children, was named U.S. ambassador to several different countries. She was the youngest person to accumulate an estate of a million dollars before she was 10 years old. And there's no need to go through all the Shirley Temple movies because there were quite a lot of them. And she was just a darling that I used to just love pinching her little cheek.
[00:10:00] Speaker F: Do we sing Shirley Temple songs?
[00:10:02] Speaker H: They even named a drink.
[00:10:03] Speaker B: Yeah, we can do on the Good ship Lollipop. All of us can do that. I see.
[00:10:07] Speaker H: While we drink Shirley Temples.
[00:10:10] Speaker B: That's right.
As a matter of fact, there was a Watsi. Was all that popular? Other movie studios tried to find competition for it by finding some other young darling person, but they never quite did.
One was. One was. I was trying to think of the name.
This is another thing I brought up without knowing the answer.
One of the other studios brought up a little dark haired girl because Shirley Temple was blonde.
[00:10:37] Speaker F: Wasn't her name Betty Chapel?
[00:10:39] Speaker B: I don't know. I mean, is that a real person?
[00:10:42] Speaker F: Temple Chapel, kind of.
[00:10:44] Speaker B: Oh, I see. I see. Religious end here. Oh, I see.
[00:10:50] Speaker D: Well, we're on the way to the toilet.
Well, we could be sliding in.
[00:10:56] Speaker B: Hey, let me ask you, Ken, how old is Shirley Temple Black?
[00:11:01] Speaker H: Let me see. He said she was during the 30s. That would make. I mean, I need my calculator.
[00:11:06] Speaker B: Yeah, she was being.
She just danced and she sang and she was so adorable. And every. Every movie she was in had the same plot.
And she was.
She was either abandoned by her parents or they were nasty people and somebody took her over and. Or she got lost someplace and looking for her parents, and she'd always be looking in on the. In the home of a rich person.
You know, we feel so. And then she'd sing and that was the end of the movie, and she'd be reunited or something.
[00:11:36] Speaker H: And then she was named Ambassador.
[00:11:38] Speaker B: Then she. She became. Now she's got dark hair, she's named Ambassador. Yeah.
[00:11:42] Speaker H: Okay. Well, I. I'd say she's about. Based on that information, I'd say she's about 70.
[00:11:47] Speaker B: 70, okay. And also she became a very conservative adult, which surprised me, because when I saw her singing on the good ship Lollipop with those dimples, just a popping in her little face, I never thought she'd ever become a right wing conservative person.
[00:12:03] Speaker H: She was jaded.
[00:12:05] Speaker B: Yeah, she obviously was. Well, I suppose she made a million bucks when she was a little kid. And why would she be, you know, why wouldn't she be conservative?
I made it and I mean to keep it.
Something like that. Maybe that's what she said. Keith, what do you think?
[00:12:22] Speaker F: Well, Rob stole my answer. I'm gonna say 72.
[00:12:24] Speaker B: 72.
[00:12:25] Speaker F: I'm gonna say 70 also.
[00:12:27] Speaker B: Oh, 70, okay.
Yes, please. Hope, what do you say?
[00:12:32] Speaker E: I'll say 67.
[00:12:33] Speaker B: 67, okay. And Larry, what do you say? For heaven's sake, Let me see with
[00:12:38] Speaker D: those little nipples on her face. 69.
[00:12:42] Speaker B: What did you say? The little nipples on her face. You didn't say that.
Oh, the dimples on her face.
[00:12:47] Speaker D: Dimple, dimples.
[00:12:48] Speaker B: I see.
[00:12:49] Speaker H: Okay. That would be interesting.
[00:12:50] Speaker D: That's just the opposite, isn't it?
[00:12:52] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right. Jim, what do you think?
[00:12:55] Speaker D: Yeah, I did go to her party. She was 69.
[00:12:58] Speaker B: 69 years old.
[00:12:59] Speaker I: There was.
[00:12:59] Speaker B: You could tell because there were like 66 things on the cake. Candles and three to grow on or something.
[00:13:08] Speaker D: They had to get a permit for the fire department.
[00:13:10] Speaker B: That's right. As a matter of fact, they had to hire the two members of the fire department. Stand by, Jackie. What do you say?
You say 69 also. Wow.
Okay. Actually, she's 67, which is what Hope said. Hope. Got it right on the button there. You're okay, Hope. Yay, Hope.
[00:13:29] Speaker E: Studying.
[00:13:30] Speaker B: Yeah, it's a. It's a good thing to study because there is a course at an evening division of Boston University, People's birthdays.
[00:13:38] Speaker E: Absolutely.
[00:13:38] Speaker B: I take that, Professor Norm.
Well, no, I don't give the course. Oh, no, I'm not. No, come on.
[00:13:45] Speaker F: He's our Valedictorian.
[00:13:46] Speaker D: Now.
[00:13:46] Speaker E: Yes.
[00:13:47] Speaker B: Okay, how about Sandra D? Remember? Sandra Dee? Not to be confused with Peggy Lee, Molly B.
Or Bobby V.
Oh, my.
That's right. That's right.
She was married to Bobby Darint from 1960 to 1967. She was in the film A Summer Place.
The film Gidget launched a brief superstar period for Sandra, whose real name, incidentally, or name at birth was Alexandra Zook or Zuck. Z, U, C, K. How did she get Sandra D out of that?
[00:14:26] Speaker E: That was one of those beach. Beach movie names.
[00:14:29] Speaker B: Sandra D. Sandra D. That's right. You could be called Alexandra Zuck and say, hey, look at. There's the wave. Let's. Let's go on the wave.
They used to say that on the beach movies. That wasn't that.
[00:14:41] Speaker F: Hang 10 or something like that?
I think that's a couple.
[00:14:45] Speaker D: He died, you know.
[00:14:46] Speaker B: What's that, please?
[00:14:47] Speaker D: Bobby Darren died.
[00:14:49] Speaker B: Yes, I know that. On a cheery note, he has no more birthday.
[00:14:53] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:14:53] Speaker B: No, he died in 1967.
We're guessing Sandra D's age anyway.
[00:14:58] Speaker D: But I just thought I'd think that.
[00:15:00] Speaker B: That's really. That's really nice. No, it's good of you to bring that up.
[00:15:03] Speaker D: That was pretty darn good.
[00:15:04] Speaker B: Yeah.
Is this. Who is this? This Jim? No, this is Larry.
[00:15:09] Speaker D: See, they could have laid it off on him.
[00:15:10] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right. Larry, take the first guess at Sandra D. How old do you think she is?
[00:15:15] Speaker D: Sandra D, as we speak, is.
Today would have to be 67.
[00:15:23] Speaker B: Okay. And what do you think, Jackie?
[00:15:27] Speaker C: Let's see.
68.
[00:15:33] Speaker B: Okay. You're gonna wait till somebody else guesses, then add or subtract a year for me. Okay. Jim, what do you say they put
[00:15:42] Speaker D: speed limit signs up for her? She was 55.
[00:15:46] Speaker B: Okay.
As a matter of fact, she has a younger brother and they put signs up for him. His name is Falling Rocks.
Watch out for Falling Rocks.
[00:15:57] Speaker D: Not to be confused with Marblehead.
[00:15:59] Speaker B: Oh, is this Larry again?
[00:16:01] Speaker D: No.
[00:16:02] Speaker B: Oh, this is Jim. Jim. So we got two clowns here. Okay. Hope, what do you say? How old is Sandra D. Today?
[00:16:08] Speaker E: I say 67. And I still wonder how they got their hair to flip up like that at the end.
[00:16:15] Speaker B: I really don't know.
[00:16:16] Speaker E: I don't know.
[00:16:16] Speaker D: I don't know.
[00:16:21] Speaker B: Keith, what do you think?
She's.
[00:16:25] Speaker F: Look at Sandra D. She's 63.
[00:16:28] Speaker B: Oh, that sounds pretty snappy.
Yeah.
What do you think?
[00:16:34] Speaker H: I say she's 58.
[00:16:36] Speaker B: 58, okay. Actually, she's 53.
[00:16:39] Speaker D: Really?
[00:16:40] Speaker B: And Jim. Jim said 55, so he was the closest. Yeah. Jimmy's got two. Two correct answers. He's got cleaning up all. Well, he's. I would say he's cleaning up, but he's a little bit ahead of you or Keith, because he's You. You. He's got one and he's got two.
And that's the way jazz came up to Mississippi, to Chicago.
Okay. Joyce De Witt Also was born April 23rd.
Appeared on Three's Company. She's the darkhead girl in the TV series with John Ritter. And Suzanne.
What's her name? Summers. Suzanne Summers, Yeah. Was. Was on there for a while and a whole bunch of other people, as a matter of fact, until she got
[00:17:21] Speaker H: that great ThighMaster thing.
[00:17:24] Speaker B: That was an obscene commercial.
Anyway, Joyce DeWitt from Wheeling, West Virginia.
How old would she be? And we'll start with you, Larry. What do you think?
[00:17:36] Speaker D: That's quite a task. Wheeling, West Virginia. But see, what would that be?
She's got to be 42.
[00:17:43] Speaker B: 42. Okay. And Ken, what do you think?
[00:17:48] Speaker H: Let me think.
I'll say she's 48.
[00:17:57] Speaker B: Okay.
And Jim?
[00:18:00] Speaker D: 47.
[00:18:02] Speaker B: Jim says 47. What do you say, Jackie?
[00:18:05] Speaker D: 40.
[00:18:06] Speaker B: Jackie says 40. And the. Keith says.
[00:18:09] Speaker F: Keith says 45.
[00:18:10] Speaker B: 45. And Hope says 39.
Oh, Hope says, you know, 39.
[00:18:21] Speaker E: I don't think she's that old. And I wonder what happened to her.
[00:18:25] Speaker H: You know, I just saw her on a TV movie not that long ago.
It was like some Perry Mason thing or something like that.
[00:18:32] Speaker B: She's doing Gold Barn commercials from Wheeling, West Virginia.
[00:18:37] Speaker H: That's a typical Gold Bond place.
[00:18:40] Speaker B: What do you mean by that?
[00:18:42] Speaker H: Well, they're always from some.
[00:18:44] Speaker G: I don't know, they're not from cities.
[00:18:46] Speaker B: They're never from like, you know, Los
[00:18:49] Speaker H: Angeles or New York?
[00:18:51] Speaker B: No, as a matter of fact, some of them are from small towns and we've checked the phones and stuff and try to call them. I tried that a few times. I never can track down any of these people. And one of the names they mentioned earlier today was a woman whose last name was Quisling.
Do you know the significance of the name Quizling? No. During World War II, Quisling was a traitor to the French cause. And anybody after that who was kind of. The word quisling was a synonym for traitor. He's a quisling. I wondered if she had that name, whether she wouldn't have changed it somewhere along.
[00:19:28] Speaker D: Just a bit normal. I. I ran out of ink here. Wait a minute.
[00:19:31] Speaker B: No, I'll repeat that later. I'm holding a press conference at 4:20.
And so you Come on. I'll go through the whole thing. Also, we'll have releases, so you don't have to copy all of it.
[00:19:42] Speaker D: Read all those numbers off again.
[00:19:44] Speaker B: Okay. Joyce DeWitt is 46.
And so I think Keith said 45.
[00:19:50] Speaker F: Rock and roll.
[00:19:51] Speaker B: And Jim's at 47.
[00:19:53] Speaker E: Poor Joyce.
[00:19:54] Speaker B: So I would say, yeah, she's 46.
[00:19:57] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:19:57] Speaker B: So we had two winners this time.
Jim, who now is three, Keith has two, Hope has one, and we go to Valerie Bertinelli.
[00:20:11] Speaker H: This is like.
[00:20:14] Speaker B: Yeah, I guess maybe there's something about this astrology business necessarily to be born on the Same date.
[00:20:20] Speaker H: Late 70s sitcom stars.
[00:20:23] Speaker E: Where are they now?
[00:20:24] Speaker D: Now?
[00:20:24] Speaker B: Now, she says she was a Valerie Bertinelli one day at a time. And Sydney, she was in the film. What, she doesn't know she's married? I guess she's still married to any
[00:20:34] Speaker E: Van Allen who's looking old these days.
[00:20:38] Speaker B: Well, maybe she's going to be old, too. Let's. Let's check TV's Cafe American. What was that? Is that. That a.
[00:20:45] Speaker H: That was a TV show?
[00:20:47] Speaker D: That's right.
[00:20:48] Speaker B: Was that a series of actual series? TV that lasted very long?
[00:20:53] Speaker D: About three weeks, I think.
[00:20:56] Speaker H: It was just a few years ago, I think. Yeah, Maybe like the year before last.
[00:21:01] Speaker B: Valerie Bertinelli. Okay. How old is she? Let's start with you, Hope. What do you think?
[00:21:06] Speaker E: Oh, boy.
32.
[00:21:11] Speaker B: 30.
[00:21:13] Speaker E: I know it was painful, but I
[00:21:15] Speaker B: had to say, no, that's okay. 32 painful workers, you think? It's hard to imagine. Well, being that old, She's.
[00:21:22] Speaker E: I. She's younger than I am. And, and. And I remember watching her on television as a little girl.
I mean, she was a little girl. I mean, she was sort of a teenager on that show.
[00:21:34] Speaker B: You think you're older than Valerie?
[00:21:35] Speaker E: Yes, I believe I am, yeah.
[00:21:37] Speaker B: Oh, that's interesting.
[00:21:39] Speaker E: Not necessarily more mature, but older.
[00:21:42] Speaker B: And when you were more mature, you wouldn't be working here, probably, especially.
[00:21:46] Speaker E: There you go.
[00:21:47] Speaker B: Yeah. Jim, what do you say?
[00:21:49] Speaker D: I think Valerie is a perfect 36.
[00:21:52] Speaker B: A perfect 36. Notice the little innuendo there. Besides, you know, meaning more than just the age. That is just a clever wink.
Keith, what do you think?
[00:22:04] Speaker F: I think.
I think she's older than Hope. I think that she was shining with those bell bombs. I think she was about 20, so I put her maybe about 38.
[00:22:17] Speaker B: 38. Okay.
Cause I think if you Hope is like about in the 20s, you're not. You're in the 30s.
[00:22:24] Speaker D: Yeah. Right.
[00:22:25] Speaker B: Well, that's good.
Ken, what do you think?
[00:22:29] Speaker H: I think she's about 38 too. I know, I know. Eddie Van Halen's 40. He just turned 40, so I don't think she's that much younger. She's probably about 38, I'd say.
[00:22:38] Speaker B: Okay. And Larry, what do you say?
[00:22:42] Speaker D: I was in love with her. I think she's 42.
[00:22:46] Speaker B: 42. The same as Joyce DeWitt. You thought.
Not the age you guessed for Joyce DeWitt.
[00:22:51] Speaker D: Yes.
[00:22:52] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:22:52] Speaker D: I'm really got a heavy score there now.
[00:22:55] Speaker B: Yeah, you really, in fact, you're.
Well, no, Jackie doesn't have any wins either, but maybe she will this time.
What do you think, Jackie?
[00:23:03] Speaker D: 32.
[00:23:04] Speaker B: Cool. 32. Okay.
[00:23:06] Speaker E: That's right, Jackie, you tell him.
[00:23:08] Speaker B: Yeah. Valerie bertinelli actually is 35.
[00:23:11] Speaker D: Really?
[00:23:12] Speaker B: 35 years old.
I know.
[00:23:17] Speaker E: Jackie and I are shocked.
[00:23:19] Speaker B: Yeah, Jim said 36. 6.
And so Jim is now walking away with this whole thing.
[00:23:25] Speaker F: He's kicking butt.
[00:23:27] Speaker B: Yeah, he's really kicking butt. Yeah. How about Lee Majors?
[00:23:33] Speaker F: This is great.
[00:23:36] Speaker B: Talking about TV stars all born on April 23rd. Wow. He started in the TV series Six Million Dollar man and Fall Guy. He was in the film Scrooged and he's from Wyandotte, Michigan, but nobody really cares about that.
Lee Majors. He was married to Farrah Fawcett at one point, was he not? Was she not Perry Fawcett majors at one point?
[00:23:59] Speaker H: Oh, yeah, she was.
[00:24:00] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay. And he's no longer married to her, but instead he's married to Eddie Albert.
I made that up. As you may have guessed. Anyway, how old is Lee Majors? We'll start with you, Ken. Ken, what do you think, big guy?
Oh, I don't know.
[00:24:18] Speaker H: Let me see here. What year was $6 million? Man? I was, I was, I was young.
[00:24:24] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, I was too. I was only, I think 61 at the time.
[00:24:33] Speaker H: Yeah, I think I was.
[00:24:34] Speaker B: Funny for me to sit here and listen to you guys saying that. Let's see, when he made that, I was only six months old, barely out of the womb. And I'm thinking I was probably in my 40s then, you know, or maybe 50s.
God, I'm sick of playing with young people.
Why don't I play with somebody my own age, like Sophia Loren?
Anyway, what do you, what do you think, Ken? I don't know.
[00:25:01] Speaker H: He's probably got to be about 48.
[00:25:05] Speaker B: Okay, so 48 is your guess then, eh?
Okay, Keith, what are you. What is your guess?
[00:25:11] Speaker F: He may be a six million dollar man, but I think he's 55 year old man too.
[00:25:17] Speaker B: Old man, 55 year old man, that's a one to 55 that he can even get out of bed in the Morning right at 55. You punk kid.
[00:25:25] Speaker H: What was those?
Bionic, you know, it's like ancient technology now.
[00:25:31] Speaker E: Yeah, hydraulics.
[00:25:33] Speaker F: Then who's the Bionic woman?
[00:25:37] Speaker E: What was her name?
[00:25:38] Speaker H: Oh, she was so famous too at the time.
[00:25:41] Speaker E: She was, she was so famous.
[00:25:44] Speaker H: Lindsay Wagner.
[00:25:45] Speaker C: Very good.
[00:25:46] Speaker B: Oh yeah, you know, the other day. So who's the one who plays Wonder Woman?
[00:25:51] Speaker F: Oh, Linda Carter.
[00:25:54] Speaker H: Yeah, Carter.
[00:25:54] Speaker B: Yeah. Now that is. That is one of the funniest shows.
She's standing there, she whirls around a little bit and suddenly she's in this crazy looking uniform.
Because she's kind of a funny looking lady. I've never thought of her as being particularly sensuous.
[00:26:07] Speaker F: I don't think most people were watching it for the cinematography at all.
[00:26:11] Speaker B: But I'm watching it for the same reason you're thinking about. I'm thinking is this good looking lady is, you know, wearing shorts and all that. But I think she's a funny looking lady. That there's nothing sensuous about it. In my, in my mind she kind
[00:26:23] Speaker H: of looks like one of the American Gladiators actually with that outfit on.
[00:26:27] Speaker B: The outfit is. The outfit is the most stupid looking outfit going there.
[00:26:31] Speaker H: And, and she has high heels too. Like that would be effective to catch criminals.
[00:26:38] Speaker B: And you wonder, you wonder why does she have to get into uniform? But, but then again, why does Superman have to get in his little sissy tights? Because Superman is a sissy. He likes to wear tights apparently because
[00:26:51] Speaker H: he can, and no one can make fun of him.
[00:26:54] Speaker B: You have an idea that under Superman's tys he's wearing maybe black lace underwear or something like that. I think he's a sissy and I think they deserve each other. And I'm going to pair them in my next production. And I forget what the question was. So Lee Majors is J. Edgar Hoover.
That's right. That's right. He liked to wear women's clothing. That's right.
Yeah. No, that's true, he did.
[00:27:18] Speaker D: He had more attachments to my own vacuum cleaner.
[00:27:22] Speaker B: That doesn't make any sense what you just said. But that's okay. Although Hope laughed. So what the heck, somebody got it. Yeah, Hope, what do you think? How old is Lee Majors?
[00:27:33] Speaker E: A well preserved 64.
[00:27:37] Speaker B: A well preserved 64. Can you be well preserved at the age of 64? To me, once you get to be 64, you might as well call quits and get off the Radio.
Anyway, Larry, what do you say?
[00:27:50] Speaker D: I know. He's 62 years old.
[00:27:53] Speaker B: 62 years?
[00:27:54] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:27:54] Speaker H: It's amazing he can still jump over big fences at that age.
[00:27:59] Speaker B: Yeah, well, they're not actually. That's an optical illusion. They're little tiny fences.
[00:28:04] Speaker F: I think he's in need for an oil change, too.
[00:28:07] Speaker D: Ain't no storm. Should this guy be up this late?
[00:28:10] Speaker B: Which one is that, the Lee Majors?
[00:28:12] Speaker D: No, the young. The young. The traffic guy.
[00:28:16] Speaker B: Me?
Probably not.
[00:28:20] Speaker H: I had to sneak out.
[00:28:21] Speaker B: That's right. His folks don't even know he's here when he tries to get back in. And he's going to try to get back in before you. I mean, family's having breakfast. I imagine I have to climb in
[00:28:31] Speaker H: over the tree that goes over the front door to my bedroom window.
[00:28:36] Speaker D: Back in time to finish your homework.
[00:28:38] Speaker B: No, as a matter of fact, we're all operating in a strange kind of way. If my mother knew that I was on the phone at this time of the night, I could hear it coming from down.
When you get off the phone and go to bed, Jim, what do you say? How old is Lee Majors?
[00:28:54] Speaker D: Lee was telling me he had two more years to go to retire. So that'll make him 66.
[00:28:59] Speaker B: 63. Okay, Jackie, what do you say?
[00:29:03] Speaker D: I say 63 too.
[00:29:04] Speaker B: You say 63 too. Okay.
Actually, he's 55.
[00:29:09] Speaker D: Whoa.
[00:29:10] Speaker B: And Keith said 55.
Very good, Keith.
[00:29:14] Speaker F: Bionic guess.
[00:29:16] Speaker B: Excellent guess. Yes, it was an excellent bionic guess, Mr. Jackson.
[00:29:19] Speaker E: Fine.
[00:29:20] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah. So that means that Keith is just one behind Jim. Jim still has four. Four is leading and the. Keith has three.
As we go to. Warren Spawn going into sports now, a former Milwaukee Braves pitcher. He also of course, pitched for the Boston Braves.
Spain and Satan and pray for rain. They were the two. Hold on while it costs.
They were the two pitchers. Two great pictures of the Boston Braves who had no other pictures. So they'd say, you, it's Warren, it's fun and insane. And then pray for rain, hoping that you know anyway. You know that anyway, it's Warren Spawn. What else can I tell you?
[00:30:03] Speaker D: Wow.
[00:30:04] Speaker B: He was one of the top left handed pitchers in history.
Hey, this is a serious program. No laughter.
[00:30:11] Speaker D: You think so?
I don't know. I've never learned so much.
[00:30:18] Speaker B: Thank you very much.
He was one of the top left handed pitchers in history and a member of the Baseball hall of fame. He won 363 games, was 20 game winner 13 times. Isn't that incredible?
[00:30:31] Speaker D: Same game.
[00:30:34] Speaker B: You know, nothing you say makes any sense at All. Are you aware of that? Or maybe not.
Anyway, he got the same Cy Young Award. Here's. Now, here's a date a year so that you can figure out how old he is from this. He. He got the Cy Young Award in 1957.
[00:30:54] Speaker D: Who was Cy Young?
[00:30:56] Speaker B: Actually, Cy Young was a pitcher. Pitcher of the Red Sox, as a matter of fact, around the turn of the century or so, way back. And a great pitcher. And they. They named the award after him.
[00:31:06] Speaker F: Why do you get a Cy Young Award? Is it when you retire or something?
[00:31:10] Speaker D: No, no, no.
[00:31:12] Speaker F: I think baseball, as you can tell,
[00:31:13] Speaker B: I'm not really sure. I think you can win the Cy Young Award while you're still active in
[00:31:17] Speaker H: the game, I think.
[00:31:18] Speaker D: Now, how about this? When Cy Young did an exceptional job, what kind of an award did he get?
[00:31:24] Speaker B: He got the Ward Spot Award.
[00:31:26] Speaker D: Ah, all right.
[00:31:27] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah.
[00:31:28] Speaker D: Well, what are.
[00:31:30] Speaker F: What are the qualifications for Cy Young?
[00:31:32] Speaker B: Dude, you have to be a good pitcher.
[00:31:35] Speaker H: Okay.
[00:31:37] Speaker B: I don't know. I mean, you're talking once.
[00:31:38] Speaker J: I don't know if it was when
[00:31:39] Speaker F: he retired or if. When he was a rookie or something like that or.
[00:31:43] Speaker B: Oh, I see. No, that's a good. Good point. I don't know.
[00:31:47] Speaker H: I think. I think they give away a Cy Young Award every year just to any pitcher.
[00:31:51] Speaker B: Oh, I guess so. No, I. I think he did. He would either retired or he was at the end of his career by that point, I would say, because I remember seeing him in the.
In the 30 40s, the early 40s, so sometime in the 40s. And he got the award in 57.
So he was pretty much out of it by that point. If that'll help you again. And if we go to Jackie, how old you think, Warren? Spanish.
[00:32:19] Speaker D: I'm not a baseball fan.
[00:32:21] Speaker B: I know that, but that's why I asked him first, because I want to embarrass you.
I want you to be so ashamed. I know that you'll never show your public. Your face in public again.
[00:32:30] Speaker C: I won't.
[00:32:32] Speaker B: Oh, you can. It's okay. I just fool it.
[00:32:37] Speaker C: What year was he in baseball again?
[00:32:39] Speaker B: Well, he was. He got the cy Young Award. 1957. That's the only date that I mentioned.
[00:32:47] Speaker C: 55.
[00:32:49] Speaker B: 55. Is that what you said?
[00:32:51] Speaker D: 60.
[00:32:51] Speaker B: 60 for 60. 60, yeah, just plain 60.
[00:32:55] Speaker C: No, 65.
[00:32:56] Speaker B: Okay, Jim, what do you say?
[00:32:59] Speaker D: Okay, no trombones here, but 76.
[00:33:03] Speaker F: That's spirit.
Is that one.
[00:33:06] Speaker D: Well, we didn't get the trombones.
[00:33:07] Speaker B: I know we did.
76.
[00:33:09] Speaker H: I left my trombone at home.
[00:33:12] Speaker B: You Always do when we need it the most.
[00:33:13] Speaker H: I know. It's a shame, Larry, to always have it when I don't need it.
[00:33:18] Speaker B: Isn't that the truth, Larry?
[00:33:20] Speaker D: Yes, Tom.
[00:33:21] Speaker B: Where is a trombone when you really need one? Larry, how old do you think Warren spawn is?
[00:33:26] Speaker D: Oh, 78, I think. Yeah, 78.
[00:33:30] Speaker B: 78. Okay. Hope, what do you think?
[00:33:33] Speaker E: He's 80.
[00:33:34] Speaker B: 80.
Okay. And Keith?
[00:33:37] Speaker F: I'm gonna say 30. No, I mean, I'm kind of figuring in my head 73.
[00:33:44] Speaker B: 73. And Ken,
[00:33:47] Speaker H: I do like the prices, right? He's one.
[00:33:50] Speaker B: No,
[00:33:53] Speaker H: 72.
[00:33:54] Speaker B: 72.
[00:33:55] Speaker E: They've all overbid. They've all overbid.
[00:33:58] Speaker H: Okay.
[00:33:59] Speaker B: Warren, spine. Actually, 74.
I think he just got that. Yeah, Keith said 73.
[00:34:04] Speaker D: Cool.
[00:34:05] Speaker B: Nobody said 75. Jim was close with 76.
So we have a tie between Jim and Keith, which makes this next round the last round.
[00:34:14] Speaker E: Oh, boy.
[00:34:15] Speaker B: Something just a seed. Squirmer.
[00:34:18] Speaker D: Get some points.
[00:34:19] Speaker B: Yeah, okay, because we got this, the last one. Now we can see if we can break the tie.
[00:34:25] Speaker D: Now, this is not as easy as it looks.
[00:34:28] Speaker B: No, it's not. A lot of people think they could do great at this game and just try this on their face.
Cony. Esposit. Esprito, the hockey player. Tony Esposito.
[00:34:38] Speaker D: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:34:40] Speaker B: Okay. How old do you think, Tony?
Let's see. Hold on a minute. Yeah, Tony Esposito is.
Larry, what do you think?
[00:34:49] Speaker D: Oh, Tony Esposito, huh?
[00:34:51] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:34:52] Speaker D: Yeah. 47.
[00:34:55] Speaker B: 47. Okay. Keith, what do you think?
[00:35:01] Speaker F: No clue.
50.
[00:35:02] Speaker D: 50.
[00:35:03] Speaker B: Okay. And Jim?
[00:35:06] Speaker D: 48.
[00:35:07] Speaker B: Jim says 48, Jackie.
[00:35:15] Speaker D: I don't know.
[00:35:16] Speaker C: 48.
[00:35:20] Speaker E: Go for it, Jackie.
[00:35:21] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:35:21] Speaker E: Be decisive.
[00:35:22] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right. Be decisive.
[00:35:23] Speaker C: At this point, I have nothing to lose.
[00:35:26] Speaker B: No, no, but we. We're kind of hoping to see on the scoreboard. You and Larry are just adorable people, but neither. Neither of you scored at all. I'm just as surprised we're sending stories to your hometown newspapers.
Okay, Hope, what do you think?
[00:35:43] Speaker E: Let's see. I had a. I believe we had an Esposito hockey game growing up. So I. I'm gonna put him at 52.
[00:35:51] Speaker B: 52. Okay. And what do you think, Ken?
[00:35:57] Speaker H: What was the lowest guess?
[00:35:59] Speaker B: The lowest guess was 47.
[00:36:01] Speaker H: Okay, I'll go 46.
[00:36:05] Speaker E: Door number one.
[00:36:07] Speaker B: Actually, he is 52. So Keith, I Hope, had said that Hope wins that. Which means that it's still 4.
[00:36:16] Speaker H: 4.
[00:36:16] Speaker B: We still have a touch tie between a Jim and Teeth.
[00:36:19] Speaker E: Tiebreaker.
[00:36:20] Speaker B: Oh, boy. We gotta play a tiebreaker now. Okay, I'll give you another name.
Let's see if I can find another person of note who was born on this date.
Let's see. Do you know the name Jan Hooks?
Oh, yeah. Saturday Night Live.
[00:36:36] Speaker H: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:36:37] Speaker D: Okay.
[00:36:38] Speaker B: I think we're. I think we'll just ask Keith and Jim on this one just to kind of break it up.
[00:36:43] Speaker D: Up.
[00:36:44] Speaker B: She's also Designing Women. Apparently she's been in that.
[00:36:47] Speaker F: She's actually really funny. She was one of the Sweeney sisters
[00:36:53] Speaker B: and she was in a film called A Dangerous Woman. Do you know that?
[00:36:58] Speaker D: No.
[00:36:58] Speaker B: No.
Okay, let's. Let's do that then. Jan Hooks for as the tiebreaker. Only Jim and.
And Keith will guess on this one. What do you think, Jim?
[00:37:08] Speaker D: I would say say 37.
[00:37:11] Speaker B: 37 says Jim. And Keith says 36.
Keith says 36. She's actually 38.
So Jim sneaks into. Into the lead and wins this game. You were both very, very close.
[00:37:28] Speaker E: Traffic does it again.
[00:37:31] Speaker B: Yeah. So Jim. Jim is now. Jim now is in line for really swell nothing kind of prize.
You must be.
[00:37:38] Speaker D: Just live, isn't he?
[00:37:40] Speaker B: Normal. What's that, please?
[00:37:41] Speaker D: The winner is live, isn't he?
[00:37:44] Speaker H: Well, he's been dead for some time.
[00:37:47] Speaker F: He's actually a puppet in my hand.
[00:37:51] Speaker B: I'm sorry, I missed this whole flow.
[00:37:54] Speaker D: I'm just wondering. I wonder if you can run down the scores and. And indicate as to who is on the phone and who. Who is live in the studio.
[00:38:02] Speaker B: Oh, I see. Oh, Keith is live in the studio. Yes, Hope is live in the studio also.
And Ken is live, but not in the studio. He's at the traffic headquarters in the Prudential building.
[00:38:13] Speaker D: Do you see a pattern here?
[00:38:16] Speaker B: How is that?
We've had a lot of people live in the studio winning. Is that what you mean?
[00:38:22] Speaker D: I don't want to intimidate. I don't want to say anything intimidating.
[00:38:26] Speaker B: No.
[00:38:26] Speaker D: But Jim.
[00:38:27] Speaker B: Jim is on the phone and he
[00:38:28] Speaker D: won very much alive.
[00:38:29] Speaker B: In Pepper. Yeah, he's in Pepper. So that kind of throws your theory right. There goes that theory.
[00:38:34] Speaker D: Oh, my flashlight went out. Well, there goes that theory.
[00:38:37] Speaker B: You're very cynical, Larry.
[00:38:39] Speaker H: Did you say your flashlight went out?
[00:38:40] Speaker D: Yeah. Oh, my mother doesn't know I'm on the phone.
[00:38:44] Speaker B: Hey, Larry, I want to thank you very much for playing the game.
[00:38:47] Speaker D: And it's been something.
[00:38:49] Speaker B: It has been something. I can hardly wait to get rid of you.
And I just. Just did.
[00:38:54] Speaker D: Okay.
[00:38:54] Speaker B: Anyway, no, I'm glad he played. And Jackie.
[00:38:57] Speaker C: Yeah?
[00:38:59] Speaker B: I. You're. You're adorable. And you added a lot to the Program and I'd suggested to kind of bone up on your birthdays because you never know when somebody else is kind of come going to come up to you and say hey, how about like Barbra Streisand was born on the 24th and somebody's have to come up to you this coming day or Monday and ask you. Yeah, I don't even know what I'm saying saying. I don't blame you for that answer. I know. And I just kind of ramble on it till people walk away from me.
Nice talking to you, Jackie. She just. That was kind of the equivalent of walking away from Jim. Hang in there and we'll, we'll get your name and addresses up so we can send you something.
[00:39:40] Speaker D: Okay, I'm gonna hang in. I'm going out and stand by the mailbox.

[00:41:49] Speaker G: Attention, senior citizens. Have you found yourself waking up a little too early in the morning lately? To the point where I. Where it's getting uncomfortable? Some say after retirement, sleeping troubles are common. Whatever your case may be, you are not alone. As a matter of fact, there is a sleep study going on right now at the Brigham and Women's Hospital focusing on the sleep of senior citizens regarding body temperature, hormones and circadian rhythms. What's more interesting is the doctors at the Brigham and Women's need healthy people like yourself. They'll even pay for your time, from $1,300 up to $4,100. Plus, you'll benefit from a free medical evaluation. You have to be 65 or over and not on any medication. If you qualify, it's very simple. For a couple of weeks, you'll wear a home monitor. Then spend between two to five weeks at Brigham and Women's Facility, free of time cues. It's called the sleep study. And if you're interested, you can call Rob right now at 617-732-4311. He will answer any questions that you have. 617-732-431100. And hey, you could probably, probably use the rest. 617-732- 4311.
[00:42:52] Speaker I: Alka Seltzer or Bromo Seltzer? Which would you choose? Here's Richard Marinucci of Marlton, New Jersey.
[00:42:58] Speaker B: I used to use Alka Seltzer. Then I read the label, saw that it had aspirin and said, this is absolutely not for me. Now I use promo Seltzer only.
[00:43:06] Speaker I: Bromo Seltzer combines an effective antacid with the non aspirin pain reliever used most by hospitals.
[00:43:13] Speaker B: Bromo Seltzer relieves my upset stomach and headache without aspirin. It's the brand I'm going to stay with.
[00:43:18] Speaker I: If aspirin's not for you, choose Bromo Seltzer. Use only as directed. When do you need immediate itch relief?
[00:43:24] Speaker D: I'd start in my sleep. Start scratching.
[00:43:27] Speaker I: Joseph Nelback of Susquehanna, Pennsylvania got effective immediate relief with new Gold Bond Medicated Anti Itch Cream.
[00:43:33] Speaker D: The itch was to stop instantly.
[00:43:35] Speaker I: Gold Bond Medicated Cream's unique dual action medicated formula contains what no other leading anti itch cream has, two proven pain relievers that stop the itch and stop the pain on contact to stop the itching.
[00:43:47] Speaker D: Plus it cools the skin down.
[00:43:49] Speaker I: New Gold Bond Medicated Anti Itch Cream. Use as directed.

I would love to hear from you because you're such a nice person. Thank you so much. Now the WBC AccuWeather forecast from Jim Kosek. The extended forecast calls for quite silly the rest of the night with temperatures down to about 40 by morning, low 40s. Anyway, it's 43 degrees outside our WBC studios at this very moment. 43.
But what about Sunday? What about the daytime hours, you're saying? Well, mostly sunny, breezy with highs about 60. So not quite so warm as it was on Saturday, which was just a lovely day, wasn't it? Wasn't it lovely day? Oh, I knew you'd say that. Sunday night becoming partly cloudy, lows near 40.
Monday turning out rather cloudy with highs about 58, but a bit cooler near the coast.
And Tuesday, times of clouds and there'll be times of sunshine and a time to live and a time to die and all that. Anyway, kind of a mixture of both clouds and sun on Tuesday with highs about 58 degrees.
And again right now it's 43 degrees outside our WBC studios. Thank you so much. Anyway, it's gotten kind of quiet. It's eight minutes before four and our phone number is 2541030 area code 617.
And whatever may be on your mind. Like to talk with you about that.
I should give you a hint as to what we can talk about, I suppose, if I were that kind of person.
Oh, yeah. Tonight, incidentally, we'll be talking with Linda Rosenkrantz, co author of a book called the Last Word on First Names. The Definitive Guide to the Best and Worst in Baby Names by America's Leading Experts. If you want to know what your name really means or what names maybe might be good names to name your child, do tune in for that. I've got the book right here, the Last Word, Not First Names. The Definitive Definitive A to Z Guide to the Best and Worst in Baby Names by America's Leading Expert, Written by Linda Rosenkrans and Pamela Redmond Satron, or something like that.
Let's pick out some names. Let me see. Got an idea for a name? Or maybe you can call me and ask me what your name means. Man, look up. Would you mind? Would I be terribly egotistical if I looked up my own name, which I believe is Norman Says maybe Because I always thought the name Norman was kind of a faky name. I always wanted, as I mentioned, a name like Jim, which I think is manly. Norman is always kind of a wimpy kind of guy. And that's not me. Oh, heavens, no. But anyway, this is what the book says. Maybe it's because it sounds so much like the word normal, but the name Norman has a serious image problem.
Conjuring up the picture of a normal looking guy with a normal kind of job living in a Norman Rockwell kind of town.
Unless, of course, he's Norman Mailer or a twisted mumbus boy like Norma Bates.
Either way, probably not the kind of image you would want for your son. Can you imagine that? Can you just, well, imagine that? I think I'll take a phone call instead.
Gene, how you doing? Gina's in her car down in Virginia. Hello, Jean.
[00:48:34] Speaker C: Hi, Norm. Do you remember me calling last week.
We were headed on our way to Florida. We're from Saratoga Springs, and I grew up in Marblehead.
[00:48:42] Speaker B: I do remember. Yes, I remember very clearly.
[00:48:44] Speaker C: And then shortly after, my. My father's cousin called in saying she'd heard and knew it was me.
[00:48:49] Speaker B: Yes, that's right.
[00:48:50] Speaker C: And I got in trouble because somehow it got back to my father that I said he had a terrible Boston accent. And I never said that.
[00:48:59] Speaker B: No, I don't remember you saying that. No.
[00:49:00] Speaker C: Remember I said that my father had a Boston accent?
[00:49:04] Speaker B: Yeah, but I mean, you never said it was a terrible accident.
[00:49:06] Speaker C: Right. Well, I thank you because hopefully someone in my family is listening right now, and they'll know that I never said that he had a terrible one.
[00:49:14] Speaker B: Oh, you sound like a nice person. I can't imagine that your father would be unhappy with you at all. I don't think that's true.
[00:49:20] Speaker C: I haven't talked to him myself, so he may not be. It may just be my. My sister getting me all riled up.
[00:49:26] Speaker B: She may just be exaggerating a little bit.
I. I don't blame you for challenging that.
[00:49:34] Speaker D: But.
[00:49:34] Speaker B: But there I was in a Red Sox uniform, and I got a huge, you know, a big bona picture framed and everything of myself there. Is that exciting or what that is?
[00:49:44] Speaker C: I wish I could be in a baseball uniform.
[00:49:52] Speaker B: I'm Jack Park, WBC24. You really want to admit that to you after that, what happened? I'm not sure.
I think that must have been the crews out there doing some blasting. I think either that that probably is what it is. I think. I think somebody's come closer. And I want everybody to hear this because it might become a regular thing, but I think there are people out there to get you.
I think so.
You ready to play the dumb birthday games? That's probably somebody. One of the other members of the panel, because you always win. Yes, indeed. They're trying.
[00:50:26] Speaker D: They.
[00:50:26] Speaker H: They're.
[00:50:27] Speaker B: They're trying to bump me off. They are trying to bump you off, and I think your life is in danger. Hold on a minute while I call the WBC security guard. All right. And I'm wearing my bulletproof birthday hat. Oh, I think that is a good idea. Excuse me. W. Busy security guard.
Yeah, I don't think he's going to be able to help you at all.
Oh, oh. Do you have a commercial to play right now?
[00:50:54] Speaker H: Oh, yeah.
[00:50:55] Speaker B: Is it you screaming and yelling and carrying on in a big way, or is it somebody else? No, it's me screaming and yelling and carrying on. Really kind of big upbeat kind of stuff. You betcha. Okay. Play it. And. And we have a lot of Harold Prince. A lot of Broadway producers are on the audience and they'll be hearing you. Oh, okay. Well, I'll. I'll add a musical interlude in between words.
[00:51:16] Speaker D: Good.
[00:51:16] Speaker B: Okay, golfers, already tired of the cold plan. Now for those wintertime blues. Join us in March for our exclusive Pete Dye golf cruise to the Southern Caribbean. Call 1-800-Great sun for details. That was just so wonderful. Thank you very, very much. That was great.
[00:51:35] Speaker D: Thank you. That was really lovely.
[00:51:37] Speaker A: One day I should compile a file of all of Jack's fun and dramatic sponsor reads. I'll add that to my Normie do list, which is getting scroll like the creative mind has too many ideas and not enough time or energy to start crossing some of them off. I'll keep writing them down so it can haunt me on the daily. I look forward to having you all back next week for another episode.
