Just came in from A Night on the Town. You would like Adam very much. Do you know that, Stephanie? [00:04:42] Speaker C: Oh, why is that? [00:04:43] Speaker B: Well, because he's a, he's a young guy and he's a nice looking guy making a lot of money here. Yeah, he's a big time producer at wbc. Yeah, you wanted to. [00:04:52] Speaker C: I already know. I know a producer at wbv actually. [00:04:55] Speaker B: You know a producer here? [00:04:56] Speaker C: Yeah, he does a 6:30. I forgot. What's his name? He was at WBRS. Come on. The redhead. [00:05:03] Speaker B: Who's that? Who's she talking? That name keeps popping up every now and then. Isn't It. He's a. [00:05:10] Speaker C: Well, I worked at the radio station at school and he was the previous news director and I'm also a previous news director at the radio station. [00:05:16] Speaker B: Oh, really? [00:05:17] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:05:19] Speaker B: Is that what you would like to do? You want to be get into radio when you get out of college? [00:05:23] Speaker C: I mean, I'd like to. I'm interested in TV right now. [00:05:26] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:05:26] Speaker C: But I really don't know. I really don't know. I'm just feeling around and checking out what's going on.

[00:05:37] Speaker B: TV and radio's getting all excited. [00:05:39] Speaker D: I never got an offer like that 10 years ago. [00:05:44] Speaker B: Okay. And we have Emilio Morata, who's with us also, who's a producer here at wbz. You would be interested in him also, I think, Stephanie. [00:05:54] Speaker C: Okay. [00:05:55] Speaker B: The only problem with with Emilio is he's muscle bound, got too many muscles. Yeah, it's really not good for you. It's. Each muscle contains high cholesterol content. How you doing, Emilio? [00:06:09] Speaker E: I just want to make my animal noises like Genie. [00:06:12] Speaker B: That's right. Okay. [00:06:14] Speaker E: What was Genie doing? Cats. I felt like it was on Mutual Omaha's Wild Kingdom here for a second. [00:06:18] Speaker B: Okay. We also, we also have with us Rob Floyd, who's WBC 24 Hour Traffic Network. And who's ready to play the game with us too. Are you ready to play the game or did I make a misstatement there? Rob, I am ready, ready to play the game. Okay. I have in front of me feel. Hear that? That's that huge book which contains the birthday of everybody born on this date since the beginning of time. [00:06:41] Speaker E: Norm, did you say the dumb birthday game was fabled or feeble? I couldn't hear you earlier. [00:06:46] Speaker B: You're being wise, aren't you? Huh? Guys with muscles always talk really stupid like that. So you have to just fresh. That's right. You can tell I'm jealous. Yes. [00:06:56] Speaker D: And about that. And about that. You know, everybody's in it since the beginning of time. [00:07:01] Speaker B: Yes. [00:07:01] Speaker D: Does that mean your birthday is not in it? [00:07:04] Speaker B: Oh boy. I'm being surrounded by enemies. I'm surrounded. I'm such a nice guy. I'm a sweetheart of a guy. You should insult me. That's not nice. If, if, if you insult me enough, I, I get thrown off this show and you'll get some second rate person doing it. Yeah, we'll take over for you. I'm sorry, you're all talking at the same time and I can't make up what you're saying, Barry. [00:07:29] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:07:30] Speaker B: Sorry. [00:07:31] Speaker D: I didn't mean to insult you. I was just having fun. [00:07:33] Speaker B: No, I know that. I'm just joking. My. My skin is very thick. I don't insult very easily because I'm terribly stupid. Okay. [00:07:42] Speaker C: Today, I think you're so darn nice. [00:07:44] Speaker B: Well, thank you very much. I think you are, too. Does somebody get their radio on, or is that. No, that's. [00:07:49] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, I do. [00:07:50] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. If you would turn it down. [00:07:52] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:07:52] Speaker B: Because I know you have friends out there who want. [00:07:55] Speaker C: Okay. [00:07:56] Speaker B: And they want to hear you. I understand that. [00:07:58] Speaker E: Have them go in another room and listen. [00:07:59] Speaker B: Yeah. Or ye. Or just stick there, because otherwise we're on a delay and it kind of throws things off a little bit. But anyway. Today is the birthday of Don Rickles. He was born May 8. He started CPO Sharkey and a service sitcom of that same name in the mid-70s. See, remember these dates, I'm telling you, because that gives you clues to how old they are. They also appeared in films, including Kelly's Heroes with Clint Eastwood. And of course, he's the. What we call the insult comedian, but you know, that. Don Rickles. And we'll start with you, Dorothy. How old do you think Don Rickles is today? [00:08:35] Speaker C: Don Rickles. [00:08:37] Speaker B: Don Rickles. That's all. That's the one. [00:08:40] Speaker C: I'll say he's 68. [00:08:43] Speaker B: You'll say he's 68. Okay. And Jeannie, what do you think? I was going to go the same thing. [00:08:49] Speaker C: 68. [00:08:50] Speaker B: 68. Okay. And Barry? [00:08:53] Speaker D: 70. [00:08:54] Speaker B: 70. Okay. You're all kind of in the same area then. And the very lovely and exciting Adam Wolf. 75. 75. Okay. And Amelia, what do you think? [00:09:09] Speaker E: 74 hockey puck. [00:09:11] Speaker B: 74 hockey puck. That's. That's very clever the way you use one of his phrases. [00:09:15] Speaker E: Yes, I did. [00:09:16] Speaker B: Very clever. [00:09:17] Speaker E: I'm a clever guy. [00:09:18] Speaker B: Yeah. Stephanie? [00:09:20] Speaker C: 56. [00:09:21] Speaker B: 56. Did you go into a conference with your fellow students over there? [00:09:25] Speaker E: She obviously didn't. If she said 56. [00:09:27] Speaker B: Oh. Oh, you got. [00:09:28] Speaker E: You're gonna. [00:09:29] Speaker B: You're gonna belittle her choice. [00:09:32] Speaker E: Her first guess. Yes. [00:09:34] Speaker B: Rob, what do you say? [00:09:35] Speaker D: Rob? [00:09:36] Speaker B: Don Rickles is 70. Don Rickles is 70. He said that so positively. Insurance. Great assurance. Great insurance. He should be. [00:09:43] Speaker D: He's a traffic guy. [00:09:45] Speaker B: That's right. [00:09:46] Speaker E: He has the lives of people in his hands each and every day. [00:09:48] Speaker B: That's right, too. He could cause tremendous accidents if he were not careful with his reports. Okay. Has to be responsible. And he and Barry from Worcester both said 70. Actually, Don Rickles is 68. Whoa. 68. [00:10:03] Speaker D: We got it. [00:10:04] Speaker C: Hey. Hey. [00:10:04] Speaker B: So Dorothy and Jeannie both hit it right on the button. That's really wonderful. You're already on your way to a really worthless prize. [00:10:13] Speaker C: Oh, God. [00:10:14] Speaker B: From the tacky WBZ gifting one. [00:10:17] Speaker D: Pardon me, that's only the first one. [00:10:19] Speaker B: No, that's true. No, that's true. I'm kind of jumping again when I say that. Okay, today's also the birthday of Tennille. Tony Tenille. Biggest hit with Captain and Tenille was Love Will Keep us together in 1975. Remember that date again? To help you guess her age. A Grammy winner. That was written by Neil Sadaka. She's married to Daryl Dragon, who is the captain who has usually a blank look on his face. He sits there with the old captain's hat. They were married in 1975. The same. Oh, the same year. [00:10:58] Speaker D: That was a big year for that. [00:10:59] Speaker B: That was a big year. They had a big hit record. Married the same year. That was really. That's just so nice. Okay, I can hear Stephanie. She's consorting with her friends at. [00:11:11] Speaker E: So, Norm, does that mean that Adam and myself can consult each. [00:11:14] Speaker B: Oh, yes. Well, you wouldn't want to do that because you're competing with each other. One of you. You know, one of you. Anyway. Stephanie, we'll start with you. How old did you guys come up with Tony Tennille? How old do you think she is today? [00:11:31] Speaker C: Oh, me? [00:11:32] Speaker B: Yeah, you're Stephanie. No, you're the lovely Stephanie. [00:11:38] Speaker C: 44. [00:11:39] Speaker B: Stephanie, are you okay? You can. You've. You obviously went into consultation with your friends and you come up with 44. Four tenille. Toni Tennille. [00:11:49] Speaker E: Do you guys even know who they are? [00:11:51] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:11:52] Speaker B: Do you remember Tony Tennille? She hasn't done too much lately, has she? She never even did stuff when she was doing stuff. If you could figure that one out. Rob, what do you think? Oh, Tony Tenille is 52. 52 says Rob, Floyd and Emilio. What do you think? [00:12:13] Speaker E: Sounds like there's a lot of muskrat love going on over there, but. [00:12:16] Speaker D: Ouch. [00:12:19] Speaker B: I'm real bad. Yeah, you don't have to listen closely to what he says. Just sort of turn him off till he gives you his final answer. [00:12:27] Speaker E: 47. [00:12:28] Speaker B: 47. I did hear the 47. I heard nothing else that you said. [00:12:34] Speaker E: I didn't really say anything, Norm. [00:12:36] Speaker B: Exactly. [00:12:38] Speaker E: We're inconcurrencing. [00:12:40] Speaker B: Adam, what do you think? How about 45? How about 45? We will mark that down. Of a question. That's right. Just like in Jeopardy. And we'll mark that down on the official dumb birthday game ballot thing here or whatever. Scorecard. That's right, the scorecard. Barry and Wista. 45. Barry says 45. [00:13:03] Speaker D: Also. [00:13:04] Speaker B: You think that Adam knows what he's talking about, obviously? [00:13:07] Speaker D: Well, let's just say I think he and I deduced it the same way. [00:13:11] Speaker B: Okay. Jeannie, I'm sorry, Did I yell at you? Genie. I didn't mean the word the way I said genie. It's kind of hard. How much? [00:13:20] Speaker C: 54. [00:13:21] Speaker B: 54. Okay. And the very lovely Dorothy in New Jersey. [00:13:25] Speaker C: What do you think the highest is? 54. [00:13:29] Speaker B: The highest. [00:13:29] Speaker C: I don't think she's that old. [00:13:31] Speaker B: Okay. [00:13:32] Speaker C: I think she's 50. Just 50. [00:13:37] Speaker B: Just 50? [00:13:38] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:13:38] Speaker B: Okay. I would say that you came the closest because she's 51. Oh, I'm sorry. Yes. Yes. Rob said 52. So Rob also wins that round. That's right. So. So Dorothy has two. Two out of two, which is pretty good. And Jeannie and Rob both have one apiece. And Peter Benchley, you know Peter Benchley, he's the. Is he the son of the grandson of. Of Robert Benchley? Great, great, humorous. From another era, but he. But he's a whole bunch of Benchleys who are writers. He wrote Jaws, actually had a small part in the movie as a TV reporter. Also wrote the Beast. Wrote a number of other things. Peter Benchley. And we'll start with you, Barry. How old do you think Peter Benchley is? Oh, boy. [00:14:34] Speaker D: About 50. [00:14:35] Speaker B: About 50. Okay, we'll mark on the official scorecard, five zero. The big five zero. Emilio, what do you think? [00:14:46] Speaker E: Let's see. He was way back when, I think, didn't he. He had gray hair, did he not? I don't know if it was a premature gray. [00:14:52] Speaker B: I don't know. I read a few of his books. I'm trying to think of things he wrote other than the ones we mentioned, including Jaws. And I can't think of what they were, but he's written some fun stuff anyway. But, no, I don't know about what he looks like. [00:15:07] Speaker E: I'm getting some consultation from Stephanie's friends. I can hear he's got to be 66 or something like that. So I'm gonna say. [00:15:12] Speaker B: Is that what they said? [00:15:13] Speaker E: Something like that. Whispering like this. I'm gonna say that he is 63. [00:15:18] Speaker B: I'm gonna say 63. Okay. Emilio says 63. Adam, what do you say? Adam says, that's good. Meaning I have no clue. How about 55? Okay. [00:15:33] Speaker E: That's the limit. Oh, geez, I have to take over. Tony's not here tonight. [00:15:38] Speaker B: I know you're doing his lines, which is really nice. Okay. Okay, 55. Dorothy, what do you think? [00:15:48] Speaker C: 56. [00:15:49] Speaker B: Dorothy says Peter Benchley's 56 and Rob Floyd says what? 49. 49. And what do you think, Stephanie? [00:15:58] Speaker D: This is Stephanie's friend Lewis, but I'm gonna, I'm gonna say 67. [00:16:03] Speaker B: Okay, this is for Stephanie, then. 67. And what is your name? [00:16:07] Speaker D: Lewis. [00:16:08] Speaker B: Lewis, could I say one other thing? Sure. [00:16:10] Speaker D: That Brandeis is not just a four year job, it's an adventure. [00:16:19] Speaker B: I'm glad you said that because I always thought it was a four year job. I didn't know it was an adventure too. See, that shows how stupid I am. [00:16:25] Speaker D: Well, either that or bad prison term. [00:16:27] Speaker B: Okay, now what? [00:16:28] Speaker D: What? [00:16:29] Speaker B: Oh no, but Brad, this is a fun school. I don't know. Fun if you don't go there, I guess. It's a fun school if you don't go there, that's what. And I don't know why I said that. I never went there. How do I know it's a fun school? It may be a boring school. I don't really know. [00:16:42] Speaker D: You're right. And you're not missing anything. [00:16:44] Speaker B: You know, I, I, I, I've been on radio so long that I covered the opening of Brandeis when it used to be called Middlesex College. [00:16:50] Speaker D: That's right. [00:16:51] Speaker B: And it opened, Glenn, in the late 40s. [00:16:55] Speaker D: Yeah, the same year actually is the Establishment of Israel, which, which was 48. [00:17:00] Speaker B: 1948. [00:17:01] Speaker D: That's right. [00:17:01] Speaker B: Yeah. But I remember going to the, the campus when it was still Middlesex or they were changing it over to Brandeis and, and they started to build at that point, not too many buildings. Was very small school at that time. And it's really built up to something very, very special. [00:17:16] Speaker D: Yeah, it's almost like a theme park at this point. [00:17:20] Speaker B: What is the theme? [00:17:21] Speaker D: Misery. [00:17:23] Speaker B: Misery. Well, you paint a great picture. What year were you in, Louie? [00:17:27] Speaker D: Well, I'm a junior and part of my four year long journey is three quarters complete. [00:17:35] Speaker B: You make it sound like a prison term. You really do, Louis. [00:17:38] Speaker E: Why didn't you just, just, you know, switch to UMass or something and just party your head off? [00:17:43] Speaker D: No, no, Brandeis is too fun. [00:17:45] Speaker B: Oh, I see. Okay. [00:17:47] Speaker D: That's all right, Lewis. You will learn to appreciate Brandeis in a few years. Oh, I will, I will. [00:17:52] Speaker B: Is this Barry? [00:17:53] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:17:54] Speaker B: Now why do you say that? [00:17:56] Speaker D: Hey, you know, I thought the same About. I thought the same about Pittsburgh State [00:18:00] Speaker B: College at one point. I see. [00:18:02] Speaker D: Okay. [00:18:02] Speaker E: The only one that had fun in college. [00:18:05] Speaker B: I don't know. I have one daughter, went to school. Where you live, Barry, At Worcester? [00:18:09] Speaker D: Clark. [00:18:09] Speaker B: Clark University. Yeah. My. My oldest daughter went to Clark and, and, and, and. And. I don't know what I'm saying that for. I just thought I'd tell you that she's probably saying, oh, dad, you have to tell everything. Oh, dad. [00:18:24] Speaker E: And did she enjoy her stay there, Norm? [00:18:26] Speaker B: I think sort of, yeah. You know, my youngest daughter went to the UMass out in Amherst and she. She liked it a lot out there. Even more so, I think. [00:18:34] Speaker D: Wait a minute. What you looking out of the People's Republic are you masked for? [00:18:37] Speaker B: Oh, we get one of those political statements just been made. Thanks a whole lot. Hey, Jeannie, how old do you think Peter Benchley is today? I think that's what we're talking about. Although I lost track. [00:18:48] Speaker C: I would say 58. [00:18:50] Speaker B: 58, okay. Peter Benchley is 54. 54. So that Adam said 55, and nobody said 53. So Adam wins that. [00:19:01] Speaker F: What do I get? [00:19:04] Speaker B: No, you said 56. You were close. You know, you were just a little bit off. Okay, but that's the way I like my women. Just a little bit off. [00:19:14] Speaker D: Here we go again. [00:19:15] Speaker B: Marlon Ferguson back in the building. The wild, Wild Kingdom is back. Okay, okay, Alec. Alex Van Halen, the rock performer. His hits include Jump and oh, Pretty Women. Alex Van Halen from Holland. That. That. In case, you know some other Alex Van Halen who comes, like, from Worcester or someplace. Okay, we'll start with the. You. Let's see. We'll start with Genie. [00:19:43] Speaker C: Oh, my God. I've never heard of him. [00:19:47] Speaker B: Alex Van Halen. You never heard of Alex Van Halen? Well, Van Halen is usually the way he builds himself. Usually you don't hear the Alex part. Van Halen. I know that. I'm an old guy and I know that, so you ought to know that. You're so hip. [00:19:59] Speaker D: Norfolk. [00:20:00] Speaker B: I am a man of the 90s. I'm terribly hip. I've even heard of Moderna. All those people I don't know, But I'll say 38. You'll say 38. [00:20:14] Speaker C: Okay. [00:20:15] Speaker B: And Adam, what do you think? [00:20:17] Speaker F: A 42. [00:20:18] Speaker B: A 42. Okay. Let's see. [00:20:24] Speaker C: Dorothy, I'm just gonna take a guess. I'll say 42 also. [00:20:28] Speaker B: 42 also. Okay. And, Rob, how old do you think Alex Van Halen is? 39, you say? No, I'm going to change that. Oh, sure. Just because I was warming up to 39. [00:20:47] Speaker D: What. [00:20:47] Speaker B: What would you change that to? [00:20:48] Speaker D: 35? [00:20:50] Speaker B: 35? [00:20:52] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:20:53] Speaker B: Okay. Amelia, what do you think? [00:20:57] Speaker E: No, I'm gonna deduce this, as Barry would say, because they. They were big in 80, so 14 years ago. They were. They were, but they were well traveled, weathered band by that time. [00:21:08] Speaker B: Wasn't Eddie van Halen, like, 17 when he started? I think, back in 78. Oh, that's Eddie Van Halen, right? Yeah. [00:21:15] Speaker E: But Alex is older, and he's even uglier. [00:21:18] Speaker B: And he is uglier. [00:21:19] Speaker E: And see, I. But that's why I think they were a weathered band. They were beaten by the time they made it big. So I'm gonna say that by 80, they were 27, 14, 26. 38 years old. [00:21:32] Speaker B: He is 38. Okay. The same thing as Genie said, only she didn't go through the pain torture of figuring that out the way you did. [00:21:40] Speaker E: So Jeannie just took a stab at it. [00:21:42] Speaker B: That's one. But you all came to the same conclusion. Stephanie, what do you and your friends say? [00:21:48] Speaker C: I say about 39. [00:21:49] Speaker B: 39. You say 39. [00:21:51] Speaker E: You. [00:21:52] Speaker B: I'm sorry, you say 39? [00:21:55] Speaker C: Yes. [00:21:56] Speaker B: Okay. That's an awful interesting guess. You know, you see, the. No. Anyway, Barry, that was really a rock imitation. Well, that's my worst one yet. [00:22:08] Speaker E: You see? But nobody knows. We don't know. [00:22:11] Speaker B: Nobody knows what? That's right. Nobody knows what. Jack, you're all young people. You don't even know what. Remember what Jack Betty sounds like. Oh, Jack Betty. Is that who you're imitating? Barry, how old do you think Alex Van Helen is? [00:22:24] Speaker D: I think he'll be jumping to put out his 41 candles. [00:22:28] Speaker B: Oh, that was. That was very nicely put. That was. That was nice. See, why can't you. The rest of you talk that way? Actually, Alex van Halen is 39. If you'd stuck with your guns, Rob, instead of been so afraid of my rotten invitation, you would have come out there, too, on the board. Oh, so. So let's see. We have Stephanie hits that right on the button. So here's the way the scores. Score sheets read. Yeah, that was. Stephanie got that. Dorothy has two correct answers. And the genie, Adam, Rob and Stephanie all have one apiece. So it's all very still, very close. [00:23:05] Speaker E: Norm, have you noticed that the last couple weeks the production crew hasn't been doing well? [00:23:09] Speaker B: I noticed that. You know, it's funny. I did notice that. [00:23:12] Speaker E: You think it's because we take too much time trying to be silly. And goofy and not cause too much [00:23:16] Speaker D: pressure on the job. [00:23:17] Speaker B: Yeah, I think it is too much pressure on the job. And also you eat at the top of the Westinghouse. [00:23:23] Speaker D: Yes. [00:23:24] Speaker B: Up on the 73rd. The vending machine. Yeah, the wonderful vending machine. They took out all semblance of food here and they put in all kinds of nothing stuff. [00:23:37] Speaker E: That's the 90s way, Norm. They would have natural food, but I [00:23:40] Speaker B: wouldn't know because I'd lose all my money in the machine, so I wouldn't know. That's right. Dude, can you grab your money so one of. They don't can paralyze your fingers as you put the money in? But we have to. We do have live people here during the day. Don't they actually cook and stuff? Joe. Joe's name. Just one person. [00:23:55] Speaker C: You have cooks at the station? [00:23:57] Speaker B: We do everything. [00:23:58] Speaker E: This is like a mini city here. [00:23:59] Speaker C: Yeah, it's incredible. Where I work, they have a machine and that's kind of our livelihood. [00:24:04] Speaker B: Oh, we have machines here at night and it serves everything from, I'd say Coke to mints. [00:24:12] Speaker E: Ice cream bars. [00:24:13] Speaker B: Ice cream bars? Yeah, we have a little caviar, tomato juice, a bag of pretzels, if you like that. [00:24:20] Speaker E: That's why we boom out to 38 states. We get the big bucks here. [00:24:24] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:24:24] Speaker C: All good nutrition. [00:24:25] Speaker B: Yeah, we have a wide variety of foods. Yeah. If you like. If you like to dine on pretzels, an ice cream bar and some Diet Coke. [00:24:34] Speaker C: Where are you guys located? Where is wbz? [00:24:36] Speaker B: WBZ is right in the heart of Alston. [00:24:39] Speaker C: Oh, really? [00:24:39] Speaker B: Gateway. Yeah, that's. It's the Gateway Archway. [00:24:43] Speaker C: So I'll go there right now and get some stuff from your machines. [00:24:46] Speaker B: Yeah, it's right on the banks of the majestic Charles river, which is, as you know, famous for its nightlife and it's smell. It's. It's. No, please, it's. It's quaint village of various kinds of shops. We have all kinds of interesting shops here. You're on the 80th floor. We're on the. No, the. No, we're on the. We're on the 80th floor. Yeah, the. The restaurant. The top of the Westinghouse is about three floors below us. [00:25:17] Speaker E: Aren't they moved the tailor down to 17, didn't they, Norm? [00:25:20] Speaker B: The Taylor? Yes. Yeah, they moved him. Next to the WBC hall of Fame, where we have replicas of various performers who used to be here. We have one of Carl d' Souza's music sheets, for example. [00:25:32] Speaker E: Can we get to the next name on the list. [00:25:34] Speaker B: Pardon me? [00:25:35] Speaker E: Can we do the next name? [00:25:36] Speaker C: Oh, man. [00:25:37] Speaker B: Oh, you mean want to continue with the game? Yeah, I never thought of that. That's not a bad idea. [00:25:43] Speaker E: Okay, sorry, Rob, I didn't mean to spoil. [00:25:45] Speaker B: I tell you what I have here left, I've got. That's about all the people born on May 8. There aren't too many interesting people born on that day. I have a couple of people born on May 9, which would be Monday. We took some of them yesterday, but I got some more. A lot of people born on May 9, like James L. Brooks, who is. Who did the Mary Tyler Moore Show. He was network news, remember he did that. He did the Terms of Endearment. He's a, he's a director. James Brooks, and I like network news because no relation to him, but Albert Brooks was in that. But James L. Brooks was the producer. And anybody who. A director, anybody who did the Mary Tyler Moore show can't be all bad either, because that's one of my favorite all time. Hey, Lou, does he produce the same? No, I don't, I don't know. I don't. And I'm not aware of that. [00:26:39] Speaker D: I'm not either. [00:26:39] Speaker E: No, sorry. [00:26:40] Speaker B: No, he's not either. Whoever just spoke, whoever that was. Okay, let's start with you, Stephanie. James L. Brooks, the director. [00:26:48] Speaker D: Hi. This is Stephanie's friend Rob. She's past the phone again. [00:26:52] Speaker B: Oh, this is. I'm sorry, your name is Rob? Yes. [00:26:55] Speaker D: How's it going, Norm? [00:26:56] Speaker B: Hey. It's going pretty good. I just wanted to say I, I [00:26:58] Speaker D: love that, I love that parody of Summer Wind you had coming in. Not right after the news. [00:27:03] Speaker B: Oh, thank you. Thank you very much. That was, that was Linda Chase, who was a fine, fine performer who did that along with her, along with another guy whose name I forgot, I want to give him. [00:27:14] Speaker D: Well, we'll call it Frank Sinatra. [00:27:17] Speaker B: Sounded a lot like him. [00:27:18] Speaker D: Yeah, but I, I. Right out, out here in Waltham, we are just praying to our God. Scott Bybush, member of the wbct. [00:27:27] Speaker B: Yeah, I think his name has come up before. [00:27:29] Speaker D: Yeah, I'll say. James brooks is about 52. [00:27:34] Speaker B: About 52. We will mark that down on the golden sheet. [00:27:38] Speaker E: Thank you. [00:27:39] Speaker B: Okay. Thank you, Rob. Floyd, what do you think? 58. Rob says 58. And Emilio says. [00:27:45] Speaker E: I'm gonna go with 58 also. [00:27:47] Speaker B: 58 also. Okay, Adam. Hey, I'll go with 58. 58 also. Original idea. [00:27:52] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:27:52] Speaker E: All the dabbling Brooks, aren't we? [00:27:54] Speaker B: Oh, oh, oh, Barry, what do you think? James L. Brooks. [00:28:00] Speaker D: These guys know the broadcasters better than I do. I'll go with 58. [00:28:03] Speaker B: He'll go with 58 also. Okay. Do you think that James L. Brooks is related to, like, Joan Rivers? [00:28:11] Speaker D: I have no idea. [00:28:12] Speaker B: Mel Brooks, maybe? I suppose. Or Helen Forrest or. No, never mind. Ginny. Genie, what do you think? [00:28:22] Speaker C: I'll say 56. [00:28:23] Speaker B: We'll say 56. [00:28:25] Speaker E: Is he related to the old man in the sea? [00:28:27] Speaker B: Yes, he is. He is the old man of the sea. Dorothy, what do you think? [00:28:32] Speaker C: How about 59? [00:28:33] Speaker B: How about 59? [00:28:34] Speaker D: Okay. [00:28:35] Speaker B: Well, I want to say you're all so far off that you're all pitiful. He is 84 years old. He will be on Monday anyway. 84. [00:28:43] Speaker E: Thanks, Rob. [00:28:44] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. So the closest was DOROTHY. We said 59. She's running away. 69. Yes, she is running away with this. And she was, let's see, 69. 79. She's 25 years off and she's still the closest to any of you. This whole thing has deteriorated. Can I hear that? Can I hear that sound again? Can you imagine? Can you imagine a great corporation like Westinghouse that makes great. What do they make? Refrigerators and washing machines and everything. Allowing this kind of a program to be on the air. Aren't they stupid? What a stupid bunch of people they must be to allow this. [00:29:26] Speaker E: No, what I can't understand is all these noises are being directed at you and you're not finding out information as to where you can meet these noises. [00:29:34] Speaker B: What? What does that mean? What are you talking about? [00:29:37] Speaker E: Usually you're such a smooth operator. [00:29:39] Speaker D: You're working. [00:29:39] Speaker E: Where can I meet you? This, that. [00:29:41] Speaker D: Now you know. [00:29:42] Speaker B: No, we've already set that ahead of time. You don't think I'm going to make arrangements on the air to get. You would drive my kids crazy. They said, dad, what are you doing? So we worked it out. Anyway, let's go to Albert Finney, who was also born on. On May 9th, which would be Monday, nominated for best actor in 1963 for Tom Jones. Did you see that movie? It was a funny, funny movie. I beg your pardon. Okay. And that was 1963. Remember these dates, though, so you can figure out the ages. In 1974, he was nominated for Murder on the Orient Express. That is a funny line, isn't it? And in 1983 for the dresser. Other films used people. He was on that. That's fairly recent. He was also Scrooge in a musical version of Christmas Carol. And anyway, that's Albert Finney. Are you familiar With Albert Finney. [00:30:39] Speaker E: Who are you directing that to? [00:30:40] Speaker B: Norm and anybody who wants to answer. [00:30:43] Speaker C: I know who he is. [00:30:44] Speaker B: Okay. Okay, we're going to start with Dorothy. Hi, Dorothy. Albert Finney. How old do you think he'll be Monday? [00:30:51] Speaker C: Ah, he's in his 50s. [00:30:58] Speaker D: 59. [00:31:00] Speaker C: 59. [00:31:03] Speaker B: Okay. Jeannie, what do you think? [00:31:06] Speaker C: I'd say 55. [00:31:10] Speaker B: 55. Hey, Barry, what do you. [00:31:12] Speaker D: What, what. [00:31:12] Speaker B: What's your guess? [00:31:13] Speaker D: 62. [00:31:14] Speaker B: 62. Adam. 58. Okay. That's another question. Strike. Jeopardy. [00:31:24] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:31:24] Speaker B: And Emilio. [00:31:27] Speaker E: I'll bet he's 59. I'm gonna go with Dorothy. Do you see that little play on words? [00:31:32] Speaker B: I know Albert. Like. [00:31:33] Speaker E: Like the Boston accident of Albert. [00:31:35] Speaker B: Albert. I like when a guy tells every quick one liner and then takes 20 minutes to explain what. What it was. [00:31:42] Speaker E: Well, I didn't know if he. If it was capable of following my logic. [00:31:46] Speaker B: Well, most people probably wouldn't be, but there's no reflection on them. I think it's a reflection on your logic, but it is. But we did catch on to that. We really did. Thank you. And we thought it really sucked, so forget it. Rob, what do you think? Oh, what's the highest guess? The highest guess for Albert Finney is 62. I'll say 64. 64. Okay. You outbid Barry, and you get our rocking chair with the Richard Nixon memorabilia stamp on the back of the rung. Glad that brought. I don't have no idea what that means. Obviously, nobody else does either, because there was no response to that. [00:32:27] Speaker E: See, but, Norm, that's. That's the ultimate. You have the ultimate in power because you're. You're the host and you're in control. So when you tell a bad one, no one says it sucked. [00:32:35] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right, too. [00:32:37] Speaker C: Silence on the other end. [00:32:38] Speaker B: That's right. I'm the only one who can use expressions like just silence. Just cold, dead silence. Stephanie or whoever might be there now, Stephanie, this time. [00:32:49] Speaker C: Okay, 60. [00:32:51] Speaker B: 60. Okay. Okay. Now we're gonna find out how old Albert Finney actually will be on Monday. What was that? [00:33:00] Speaker E: It's a drum roll. [00:33:01] Speaker B: Oh, I see. Albert Finney will be 58. Adam. And that's what Adam said. Adam said 58. So Adam is now in second place. Dorothy still leads three with three. Adam has two, and one apiece by Jeannie, Rob, and the very lovely Stephanie. [00:33:20] Speaker D: Sounds like I'm the only one not on the board. [00:33:22] Speaker B: No. [00:33:22] Speaker E: Myself included. Barry, Dorothy led me astray this last. [00:33:25] Speaker B: That's right. Emilio. Emilio and. And Barry. And I was shut out last Night, too. Yeah, you're being shut out again. [00:33:35] Speaker E: I suck. [00:33:36] Speaker B: Oh, you really. You really. You're really just awful. Hey, let me give you kind of some dates. I'll tell you what happened on. On May 7th. On May 8th, rather, which is today. And you tell me what year it was. We'll get. We'll guess the years. Isn't that interesting. We just vary this program just so much. It is just so darn interesting. Okay. It was on this, on this day, that Alfred E. Newman, the what me? Worry? Guy from Mad magazine. It was on May 8 that he first appeared on the COVID of Mad magazine. He even got some votes in the presidential election, which was won. Oh. If I tell you who it was won by, then you'll know the year. Maybe. Maybe you won't. It was won by Dwight Eisenhower. I'll tell you, you're all on the same boat. Mad Magazine, founded by the late William Gaines, who just died a little while ago. It was that long ago? That long ago. [00:34:29] Speaker C: Wow. [00:34:30] Speaker B: You know, Dwight Eisenhower won the election that year. And that was the year Alfred E. Newman was introduced to the world on the COVID of MAD magazine. And what year was that? I'm going to ask the Lovely Stephanie first. [00:34:46] Speaker C: 50. [00:34:48] Speaker B: 50? 52. [00:34:52] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:34:52] Speaker B: What were you going. You were going to say something different, weren't you? [00:34:55] Speaker C: I'll go with 52. [00:34:57] Speaker B: Okay. 1952. Rob, what do you think? I'll go with 52. 1952 for you also. Okay. And Emilio? [00:35:05] Speaker E: I'm gonna go with 56. I have a feeling about that. [00:35:09] Speaker B: You have a good feeling about 1956. [00:35:11] Speaker E: I'm gonna explode this one, Norm. [00:35:12] Speaker B: I'm gonna. [00:35:13] Speaker E: Right, from here on up, it's just up. For me, it's no more down. [00:35:17] Speaker B: Excellent. I like that attitude in my kids. Adam, what do you think? 1948. 1948. [00:35:25] Speaker E: Can't be that long ago. I thought this was like a 1970s magazine. This is driving me bananas. [00:35:29] Speaker B: Okay, Barry, what do you think? [00:35:32] Speaker D: Let's go 56. [00:35:34] Speaker B: 1956, you say? Okay. And Jeannie? [00:35:38] Speaker C: 1956. [00:35:39] Speaker B: 1956 also. And Dorothy, I'll go along with the 56. Evelyn? It was 56. [00:35:47] Speaker C: I was gonna say that. That's what I was gonna say. [00:35:49] Speaker E: Stephanie, don't try and rain on our parade now. Don't try and take the glory. We got it. [00:35:54] Speaker D: Stephanie brought me down. [00:35:55] Speaker B: And Rob. Right. Well, no, he said 52. Well, when he was. He was. That was his first term. Eisenhower was elected president in 52. That was his first term. Second term was 56. And 48 was the famous Truman and Dewey contest that Truman was not expected to win. But Dewey won, which had nothing whatever to do with Eisenhower. Okay, okay, this is our last one now. And although Dorothy Rudy has one, because she's got four correct answers, I want [00:36:27] Speaker C: to know who it was that I let astray. [00:36:29] Speaker B: That was. [00:36:30] Speaker E: That was Amelia. That was me. [00:36:32] Speaker C: Yeah. I'm so sorry. [00:36:33] Speaker B: That's okay. [00:36:36] Speaker E: I think it's. I'm just cursed, Dorothy, because you were on a roll and then I decided to back you, and then all of a sudden, you didn't win that. [00:36:42] Speaker B: What a beautiful. [00:36:43] Speaker C: Never trust a woman, you know, I've [00:36:45] Speaker E: been told that before by my uncle. [00:36:48] Speaker B: Okay, thank you. No, he hasn't. It's an ugly voice and he's an ugly person, and I. I pretend he's got muscles, but actually it's nothing but flab. [00:37:01] Speaker D: Wow. [00:37:02] Speaker E: It's. It's because I eat in the vending [00:37:03] Speaker B: machine all the time. That's right. He has these. He has the potato chips and popcorn and. And the ice cream bars. [00:37:10] Speaker E: And unlike yourself, who walks the flight of stairs all 80 floors to go get your food, I take the elevator all the time. [00:37:15] Speaker B: That's right, too. That's why you're flabby and. I'm sorry. Tough. [00:37:19] Speaker D: Lovely. [00:37:20] Speaker B: This is Radio. I'm sorry, this is Barry. Yeah, what's the question? [00:37:24] Speaker D: Yeah, I was gonna ask Emilio that vending machine. Are you sure? It's first. I last saw them putting it in last August. [00:37:30] Speaker E: Oh, no, I. I couldn't tell you when the food was from, but, you know, 5 o' clock in the morning. [00:37:35] Speaker B: That's right. We'll guess the year of the vending machine. Maybe that'll be in a future contest. No, we don't know. All we know is that the. The food comes out, sort of lies there. [00:37:45] Speaker E: Sometimes it moves. [00:37:45] Speaker B: No, sometimes it actually does. It seems to crawl along the bottom of the thing. They bring it over from Fenway Park. [00:37:53] Speaker D: You ever tried those sausages there? Guaranteed to take at least 37 days off your life. [00:38:01] Speaker B: Anyway, here's. Coca Cola was introduced on May 8th by pharmacist Dr. John Pemberton. It's the one that. They didn't call it Pemberton. I'd like a Diet Pemberton, please. He'd been working on a new patent medicine. And this is kind of interesting, the way Coca Cola was. Was thought of. He'd been working on a new. I feel like I'm being. I'm at the UN. I'm being translated into 92 different languages. Yeah. He was working on a new patent medicine, a headache and hangover remedy. [00:38:36] Speaker E: That's why they were called tonic back then. [00:38:38] Speaker B: That's right. That's exactly right. Now, why they're sold at spas, why we call them spas, because it was. It was a medicinal kind of thing. [00:38:45] Speaker E: All the spa is. Is really just an old Cumberland Farms, is it not? It's just a convenience store. [00:38:51] Speaker B: Well, that's. That's right. No, that's right. It's a. It's a mom and pop store. It's a spa, we call them now. At first he used straight water, but the drugstore clerk used carbonated water. And that was the beginning of coke as we know it. Today in the world, over 12 million gallons are consumed daily, which makes a lot of. There's a lot of belching. [00:39:12] Speaker E: Is there anything in there? The original coke, was that. Was that derived from coca? Cocaine? [00:39:20] Speaker B: It may have been. It may have been there. There has been talk about cocaine being a part of that. [00:39:24] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:39:25] Speaker B: And here's another. Oh, the Atlanta. Oh, this was an Atlanta pharmacist. We're getting more information. Just handed me moments ago that John Temperton, his middle name was John Stythe. S T Y T H Pemberton. That won't help you guess the year we're talking about. [00:39:41] Speaker D: I believe it did actually have cocaine in it. [00:39:44] Speaker B: Yes. No, I believe that's true. I think that is so. [00:39:46] Speaker D: Because cocaine is just a little. It comes from the same. It's derived the same way. Novocaine is like a pain reliever. [00:39:52] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right. And that was the idea of. That's why we. We do call it tonic, because that's what it really was. And I remember. [00:39:59] Speaker E: I've read stories where the. They used to. He used to give it to the production crews, and they used to put out more product because they were happy at work. They were all, you know, they were full of. They were drugged up all day long. [00:40:09] Speaker B: Oh, shut up. No, that's a true story. Is that really true? [00:40:12] Speaker E: It's true. [00:40:13] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay. What was the year now? The date was May 8. That was introduced and the day he invented it. The flavor syrup that we know now is Coca Cola. What year was that anyway? Okay, let me get my magic sheet up. We'll start with. Let's start with you, Adam. What year do you think that was? 1955. 19. [00:40:38] Speaker E: Can I change that? [00:40:39] Speaker B: Yes, you may. To 1939. 1939. Okay. 1939, then. Oh, okay. Let's see. We'll go to Genie 1930. [00:40:52] Speaker D: 49. [00:40:53] Speaker B: 1949. Okay, and let's see, Rob. 1940. 1940. And let's see, Barry. What. What year do you think Coca Cola? 75. What's that? [00:41:08] Speaker D: 1875. [00:41:09] Speaker E: 1870 tore along the right ideas. God, these guys are in the wrong century. [00:41:14] Speaker B: Okay, well, all right, I'll ask you next. I. Media. [00:41:17] Speaker D: Wow. [00:41:17] Speaker B: What year do you think it was? [00:41:18] Speaker E: For some reason, I'm thinking 1898, Norm. But I think that'll cut off a lot of my possibilities. If I go. You know, if I go, somebody will go a little bit lower than me. Like Dorothy will cut me off and take my. [00:41:29] Speaker F: Take my prize. [00:41:31] Speaker E: So I'm gonna say 1890. [00:41:33] Speaker B: Did you realize by being an employee here that you don't get a prize even if you win? It's pride. No pride. No pride. That's right. That's what keeps driving everybody here, even though we work for a silly radio station. It's the pride that keeps us going. We want to turn out a good product. [00:41:50] Speaker E: That's right. [00:41:51] Speaker B: Unfortunately, we don't seem to be doing that tonight. We're very proud. We're very proud. Okay. Stephanie, Hi. [00:41:58] Speaker D: It's Mike, Stephanie's friend. [00:41:59] Speaker B: Oh, Mike. Okay. There's a lot of male friends, as opposed to Rob and Lewis. We have Mike now. Okay, Mike, what year are you in out there? Brandeis. [00:42:09] Speaker D: I think most these people are way off here. Way off here. [00:42:12] Speaker B: 1889-1889-1889-1890. [00:42:16] Speaker E: How can I be way off? [00:42:17] Speaker D: Although the people were guessing around World War II. [00:42:20] Speaker E: I see. I. I apologize, Mike. [00:42:22] Speaker B: Okay. No, we. Yeah, okay. And Dorothy, what do you. What year do you think? [00:42:28] Speaker C: 1895. [00:42:30] Speaker B: 1895. [00:42:32] Speaker E: She's gonna do it to me, isn't she? [00:42:33] Speaker D: Nor. [00:42:33] Speaker E: She's gonna do it to me. [00:42:34] Speaker B: No. I don't know. Let's. Let's just see. Let's just see. The year actually was 1886. That's right. That was the year that Eisenhower had his first term. 1886. Who was president then? I think that was Grover Cleveland. [00:42:52] Speaker D: Or. [00:42:52] Speaker B: No, it's so more William McKim Kinley. No, that was. He was before that. Anyway, 1886 would make the winner. Let me see. Who's the closest? I think. I think Stephanie. And. Yeah, I think Mike said 1889, so he's only three years off, like. And. And. No, that's. Dorothy was close. She said 95, so she wasn't too far off either. And. And Barry said 1875. And Amelia, you said 1890, which was good that you were just Four years [00:43:25] Speaker E: off, however, I got edged out again. [00:43:30] Speaker B: Yeah, she was. She just edged. Just barely edged you. [00:43:33] Speaker D: It was close. [00:43:33] Speaker B: Or he did. He did. And that was Michael, actually, yesterday. Very good. Okay, let me see. Here are the final scores. Now. Dorothy is the winner of the tasteless, worthless prize. [00:43:43] Speaker C: Oh, good. [00:43:44] Speaker B: We'll mail a piece of junk to you. Maybe this weekend or next weekend. Depend on when I'm next at the Middleton town landfill. [00:43:52] Speaker E: No, I think an appropriate prize would probably be a Coke bottle top, would it not? Rusted and old. [00:43:57] Speaker B: I know you mean well, Emilio. I know you mean well, and I know you're a kind person, but that really is. That really is stupid. [00:44:05] Speaker E: I think it was the appropriate theme. We ended with that. You know, it would remind Dorothy of this at all times. [00:44:11] Speaker B: That's true. We could. We could perhaps we could coat it with some kind of. Some kind of a finish that would last forever. Be a Coke box she could display right on her mantle of her fireplace. [00:44:21] Speaker C: Oh, I would really treasure it. [00:44:23] Speaker B: I think you would. You know. I think you would, Stephanie. And I think you would remember this forever. [00:44:28] Speaker C: Yes. [00:44:29] Speaker B: Thank you. Oh, that's Stephanie there. Okay. It doesn't matter, Stephanie, because you haven't won anyway. You did okay, though. You got. What would I have won? [00:44:39] Speaker C: What do people win here? [00:44:41] Speaker B: Oh, they win. Oh, I don't know. Maybe, you know, a collection of a scrapbook full of pictures of Annette Funicello with a musketeer's ears. How about going to the vending machine to get the oldest piece of candy out of it? [00:44:58] Speaker C: That would be a good price. [00:44:58] Speaker B: That would be any piece of candy there. That'd be kind of good. [00:45:02] Speaker E: They all tie for first. [00:45:03] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay. No, actually. Actually, Dorothy gets whatever the ridiculous prize is and the totally useless thing, Dorothy is the winner of all of it. Are you proud of that, Dorothy? [00:45:14] Speaker C: I am so happy. I am an ecstatic here. I really am. I'm so excited. [00:45:22] Speaker B: You do sound excited, you know I am. No, that's really. That's really nice, Adam. And let's see. Adam and Stephanie both got two apiece, so that was pretty good. Rob, Emilio and Barry and Jeannie all had one apiece, so that's okay. No, no, Jeannie had two. [00:45:42] Speaker C: I was gonna say. [00:45:43] Speaker B: Oh, no, you had two. That's correct. [00:45:44] Speaker E: Genie, make a noise for us. [00:45:45] Speaker B: No, the Nobody. Everybody got at least one correct answer, so that's a sharp panel. We haven't had a sharp panel like this since I did the same program on a station in. In Coeur d'. Alene. Washington, or is that Oregon in 19? I forget. You know, it's been so long. 1941. I don't know what I'm talking about. You know. Anyway, Dorothy, if you'll hang on the line. Emilio. [00:46:13] Speaker C: Oh, I get a chance to talk to Emilio. [00:46:14] Speaker B: Yeah, you will get a chance to talk to Emilio. [00:46:16] Speaker E: He's off the air, Dorothy. [00:46:18] Speaker B: And this will be off the air. [00:46:20] Speaker C: Him, your cat. Growl. [00:46:24] Speaker D: Dorothy. [00:46:24] Speaker E: This will be off the air so nobody can monitor what we're saying to each other. [00:46:29] Speaker C: I'm with you, Amelia. [00:46:30] Speaker B: The only. The only people who can hear it would be door would be George Westinghouse in his penthouse apartment in Middleton, Massachusetts. He's a direct line. He can hear. He can hear all. All the phone conversation. Do you know that? [00:46:43] Speaker E: Geez, I hope not. [00:46:45] Speaker B: I hope not, too. Most of all, I hope you can't hear this program. That's what I'm hoping, most of all. So hang in there, Dorothy. And media will take your name and address, and we'll get some. We'll get a piece of junk out to you as soon as we find out where in New Jersey you live. Okay? Thanks for playing the game with us, Dorothy. And thank you, Jeannie. [00:47:05] Speaker C: Oh, it's the first time I ever [00:47:06] Speaker D: talked on a radio station. Really? [00:47:08] Speaker B: And you did so well. You did yourself. Pride. [00:47:11] Speaker C: I'm going to sign up. [00:47:15] Speaker B: And Stephanie, it was fun to talk with you and with Lewis and Rob and Mike. [00:47:19] Speaker C: Oh, you remembered all the names. That's pretty good. [00:47:22] Speaker B: Yes, I do. [00:47:23] Speaker C: Because it was fun to talk to you. [00:47:24] Speaker B: Okay. Thanks a million. You take care of yourself. [00:47:26] Speaker C: Sure. Bye. Bye. [00:47:27] Speaker B: Okay, bye. Bye. And bye. Bye to you, Barry. Thanks a million. [00:47:29] Speaker D: Yeah. Bye. [00:47:30] Speaker B: Bye. [00:47:30] Speaker C: Norman. Hey. [00:47:30] Speaker D: It's always fun to chat. [00:47:32] Speaker B: Okay. I'm sorry. I'm a little fast on the trigger. I didn't mean to clip Ma. And Adam, of course. Always a pleasure to have you drop by. I will go back to the history book now. Okay. And Medio, of course, is ready. He's talking with Dorothy now, getting her name and address so that we may send her one of our pieces of swill. But they used to use the word swill. Remember, he used to use that for garbage. Bring out the swill. That's a funny word. Anyway, you know, it's coming up to news time. We'll take some more calls after that. So if you want to give me a call, that'd be okay. Thank you so much. And that voice is so distinct and so lovely. I just enjoyed so much. [00:48:13] Speaker D: Yes, I have just a brief anecdote to tell about that voice. I had never met Pete Seeger in my life, but I had known his music for 20 or more years. And one night last. Last year, I can't remember exactly when, but I believe it was early last year. I was standing in a little market on Beacon Hill, where I live, and my back was to the door, and I think I was just checking out the corn chips or something, and a gentleman walked in, and I heard the voice. I believe he asked for the time. And I said to myself, my God, that voice. And I thought a moment, and I [00:48:57] Speaker C: said, yes, that's Pete Seeger. [00:49:00] Speaker D: And I turned around, and sure enough, there he stood and introduced myself and shook his hand and asked him what the heck he was doing on Beacon Hill. And. Because you run into all sorts of people on the hill, but I've never run into a little benefit concert and [00:49:22] Speaker C: have you have Pete Sager on. [00:49:25] Speaker B: Oh, I'm pleased, too. I'm glad that you're enjoying this. [00:49:28] Speaker C: He's always been one of my favorites. I'm a little bit younger than you people, but by the time I found out who Pete Caesar was, I made it a point to see him as many times as I can. [00:49:42] Speaker B: And where did you see him? [00:49:45] Speaker C: Oh, I saw him in Boston. I saw him in Miami, Florida. And. And I was going to say the last time I had a chance to see him is when he was in Lawrence a few years back. And maybe he's on his own, which isn't too far from Lawrence, But I just want to take the opportunity. [00:50:01] Speaker D: That's right. The Bread and Roses Festival. [00:50:03] Speaker C: That's right. [00:50:04] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:50:05] Speaker C: I do want to take the opportunity to say thanks, Pete. You've done a wonderful job, and you've been very important to me all these years. [00:50:12] Speaker D: Oh, thank you. [00:50:13] Speaker B: That's very nice. Charlene. Thank you very much. Very much. And I thank you very much, Pete, for being on the bread and roses thing. By the way, celebrates the 19. Was it 1912 mill strike up in Lawrence, and it's held each year and. And is one of the big events up that way. And I had a grandfather who worked in one of those mills because he came to Lawrence more around the turn of the century. He was already dead by the time the. The big strike happened in the OR. It was in 1912, I think was. Yeah, yeah. Hey, Pete, I can't begin to tell you how excited I am, the fact that you're on the show with us. And then I thank you very much. [00:50:48] Speaker D: Thank you. I'd like to tell folks that if this, their bookstore doesn't have this book of mine, where have all the flowers gone? The publisher is a tiny little publisher in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania called Sing Out. They put out a little magazine too that I've been a contributor to for like centuries. But anyway, if the bookstore doesn't have it, they can order it. [00:51:15] Speaker B: Okay, that's great. Now Is there an 800 number they can call? [00:51:21] Speaker D: I don't know the 800 number, dog. [00:51:24] Speaker B: Well, there's, there's a lot of information in the book with the pencil, the Bethlehem post office box. And I'll give that right after the news anyway, for people who are interested in. But meantime, I thank you very, very much and I'd love to do this again very, very soon. [00:51:37] Speaker D: Okay, sure. [00:51:38] Speaker B: Okay, thanks a lot, Pete Seeger. Thanks a million. Bye bye now. Okay, coming up to news, watch out for some more crews that have set up in Hudson. Rob Floyd, WBZ 24 hour traffic network, Riopan plus double strength, a strong antacid that's sodium free and liquid and tablets [00:51:55] Speaker D: use as directed athletic events. They, they wear special clothing and they change their clothes a couple times a night because they get special freely. And they bring their own shoes and each one in their pockets. Now I hope that the man who runs the dance doesn't hear me telling you this, but each one has in his pockets a special kind of rosin or sawdust, whichever is their peculiar mix that they like to move their feet along and they drop it as they dance, you know, like from a salt shake or what have you. [00:52:25] Speaker B: Oh, that is, that is, that is some. What a feature that is. [00:52:29] Speaker D: Well, you know, Frankie Vaccaro, my bass player has been playing for over 40 years and the last year when we played their dance, he came up to me afterwards, look at my fingers, they were all blisters because everything has to be fast. I could have. [00:52:44] Speaker B: No, Lester was, you know, good guitar players. Usually his fingers are all blisters too, I would think. [00:52:49] Speaker D: Well, yeah, I didn't have a guitarist that night, but I mean, of all guys, a guy who's been playing all these years and a real tiger, Frankie Vaccar. You know Frank. Maybe not by name. [00:52:58] Speaker B: Yes, no, I do, I do. [00:52:59] Speaker D: Show me blisters. And this year we're going to do the dance again and we love it. But they don't want anything slower than, as he said, 165 beats a minute. So I have to get a special metronome. And anyway, it's a ball, it's an [00:53:11] Speaker B: excellent event, but okay, that's, that Anyway, that's the Immaculate Conception Church in Cambridge. And it's this coming Saturday, Saturday night. Okay. And this coming Wednesday, the best kept secret in town, of course, the fact that you rehearsed the village green every other week and the other. The. Every other week shows up this coming Wednesday between 7:30 and 10:30. And I will be there. And if that isn't enough to bring people, you and the big band and me just sitting there, my mouth agape, [00:53:38] Speaker D: someone else will be there who called me this morning and she used to follow the band with her boyfriend Fred, and he passed away. She called to talk to me about it and I said, why don't you come by the rehearsals? And she said, bob, I've become sightless. And so, you know, I have to be driven by people and I don't always have something to take me around. Her name is Mary and she's a love. She listens to you all the time. [00:54:01] Speaker B: Oh, that's nice. I hope. Well, hope she shows up Wednesday. [00:54:04] Speaker D: I was there last Wednesday, but unfortunately I didn't tell you were there. So she's coming this Wednesday and I want to be sure that you guys shake hands because she's a real fan of. [00:54:13] Speaker B: I would like to shake hands and I will hold her hand a little bit extra long as a result of that. [00:54:17] Speaker D: Before we disconnect, though, I hope you will be our guest next Monday the 16th, when the professional Musicians association runs its annual fundraiser. [00:54:30] Speaker B: I love that night. Yes. [00:54:31] Speaker D: Yeah, that's the night they always have two bands. Unfortunately, it's the second year we've been invited back and. And the. The Winiker Full Swing Orchestra is going to be there too. So the two of us are going to be banging away at it, both big bands. And it's a fundraiser for indigent musicians. There are guys, you know, they don't take care of their health very well or they need. They need some help with the tuition for their kids or whatever. So this is a fundraiser to help some of the guys out who are less fortunate. [00:54:58] Speaker B: That's always a great night. And that's it. Was it Lantanas? [00:55:02] Speaker D: Lombardos? [00:55:03] Speaker B: Lombardo. Santa began with hell down in Randolph, which is off. What is the exit off? [00:55:09] Speaker D: Oh, I don't have the material. [00:55:10] Speaker B: Right in front of you. [00:55:11] Speaker D: It's off 128. It's in Randolph. It's a large function room. [00:55:15] Speaker B: I think most people would know how to get there, but Lombardo's. Yeah, right in. In Randolph. And you. The two big bands. I've been there when you were there one last time. I was there. And the other band was Baron Hugo Band. Yeah, Baron died soon after that, which was kind of sad. Yeah, not kind of sad. It was sad. But this. This. Are you going to blow the Bo Winiker band right off the stand? [00:55:39] Speaker D: Beau told a friend of mine that's going to go the other way around. [00:55:43] Speaker B: No, I don't. I know it. [00:55:45] Speaker D: We hope the jury is friendly to both sides. [00:55:48] Speaker B: I know, it's like the old battle of the bands that they used to have at the big ballrooms. You know, one band trying to outdo the other band. But it should be a great night. Come closer. I don't want everybody to hear this. I'm gonna be there and I. I'm bringing a date. I feel funny. Oh, this old guy is gonna have a date. Old guys don't have dates. Don't tell me that. [00:56:12] Speaker D: Okay, that will be fun. [00:56:14] Speaker B: Now maybe, I don't know, maybe we'll hate each other. I don't know. We'll see. [00:56:18] Speaker D: Well, look, I'll let you get on to more important events, but I hope to see you Wednesday at rehearsal anyway, huh? [00:56:23] Speaker B: No, I definitely will be there Wednesday. I'll bring along some of my. My Middleton neighbors there who love your band and look forward to seeing it. [00:56:30] Speaker D: Terrific. [00:56:31] Speaker B: And good luck to you. And good luck to Immaculate Conception in Cambridge on Saturday night as well. [00:56:35] Speaker D: God bless. [00:56:36] Speaker B: Thank you. Okay, Bob, thank you. Bye. Bye. Bob Bachelor, who did conduct a band at the Totem Pole, she works the horse. Plus several other people come out there, you know, and mucking out the stall just for the. The thrill of riding the horse. Anyway, she entered her in another horse show this past weekend and the horse came in third. [00:56:55] Speaker D: Third. [00:56:55] Speaker B: Now, we would have liked her to come in first, but considering the horse is about 7,000 years old, in, in human terms, I thought that's pretty good. It's like, like an 80 year old woman winning, winning an Olympic event, you know? [00:57:09] Speaker D: Absolutely thrilled. [00:57:10] Speaker B: Yeah. No, the horse is doing very well and, and all the chickens also, and the dogs and, and the cats. [00:57:18] Speaker C: I absolutely love it. [00:57:19] Speaker B: Okay. [00:57:21] Speaker C: And I loved your wife and her wonderful article. [00:57:25] Speaker B: Oh, thank you very much. I appreciate that. [00:57:27] Speaker D: She gave you two beautiful daughters. She sure did on Mother's Day. [00:57:32] Speaker B: Yes, she did. And we were all together today, as a matter of fact. You knew that when we were together. [00:57:38] Speaker D: I don't know, but I know they're very close to you. [00:57:41] Speaker B: Yes, they are. We were. We were at Norma's sister's house up in Nashua. Not her house. But she was entertaining us up in Nashua for this Mother's Day. It's kind of nice because it's her sister. Her sister died, and yet she keeps in touch with this end of the family very nicely. And I'm very pleased about that. So it was a lovely day. Did you have a nice day? [00:58:03] Speaker D: Yes. I'll tell you about that. [00:58:04] Speaker C: If we ever have time. [00:58:05] Speaker D: At the end of this thing, I'm [00:58:08] Speaker C: going to talk about music. [00:58:09] Speaker B: Okay? [00:58:10] Speaker C: And you tell me my time is running out. [00:58:13] Speaker B: Well, your time won't run out. [00:58:14] Speaker C: All right. And this is number six. But Dom DiMaggio. [00:58:19] Speaker B: DiMaggio, my hero. Especially because he wore glasses. [00:58:25] Speaker C: And so did I. Dom married my cousin's daughter, Fredericks. [00:58:31] Speaker B: Really? [00:58:32] Speaker D: Yes. [00:58:33] Speaker C: And Wellesley. [00:58:34] Speaker B: And they've been married for some years now. [00:58:36] Speaker C: I think they're down the Cape or something now. I don't know where they are. [00:58:40] Speaker D: They're a fashionable home. She's. [00:58:42] Speaker B: But they're still married, are they not? And they've been married for a lot of years. [00:58:46] Speaker C: Fine. And Dom and my cousin's daughter. [00:58:52] Speaker D: I forget her first name right this minute. [00:58:54] Speaker C: My older sister is in contact with them. My cousin is Eleanor Fredericks. [00:59:01] Speaker D: And of course, her daughter, Mary. Dom DiMaggio. [00:59:04] Speaker B: Later, my cookies. And read my little note, my little funny papers and stuff. And just leave me alone for a few minutes. But it doesn't work that way. Right? You exude this kind of something or other. And they just won't let. Let you alone. You. You ought to be pleased, Manny, that obviously you don't have the kind of wondrous sex appeal that I do. And, you know, I feel sorry for you. [00:59:26] Speaker D: Well, Norm, don't, you know, don't speak for me. I didn't say that I was having a hard time. [00:59:30] Speaker B: I was saying. I know, but I'm living in a fantasy world. So I'm just making up all kinds of crazy stories. [00:59:38] Speaker D: One thing I wanted to say is I've listened the last couple of nights and I heard that person Liza, talking on the phone. [00:59:45] Speaker B: Yes. [00:59:46] Speaker D: You know, she's listening. I just wanted her to say that, you know, I hope everything works out for her. And, you know, I'm pulling for her. You know, I like the. I like it when people, you know, get through trying times. I know what it's like sometimes to be in a. Not exactly in the position that you want to be. And, you know, having to work through things. And I think people like that, people like Liza, they should keep their chin up, you know? [01:00:08] Speaker B: Well, you're a very kind Person that is very, very nice. And I hope she is listening and. And get some encouragement for what you just said, because you're okay. [01:00:15] Speaker D: All right now. [01:00:16] Speaker B: Okay. And I hope you do as well with women as in my fantasy world. I have done, but in my. In the real world, I haven't done it all. [01:00:25] Speaker D: All right, Doris, thank you. [01:00:25] Speaker B: Take care, Melanie. Bye. Bye. Okay, I'm gonna get my butt up there. Oh, the way you say that is really exciting. Get your butt up there. Oh, you're talking about my butt. I'm so excited. Anyway, tell me what the problem is now. [01:00:39] Speaker C: Anyway, it's not really a problem. It's kind of an issue. [01:00:43] Speaker B: Okay. [01:00:44] Speaker C: My issue is, even though it was Mother's Day and had a love lovely time, I really did, because there were a lot of mothers in there. [01:00:56] Speaker B: Wow. You're up to hearing mothers. Wow. Yeah. [01:01:00] Speaker C: You have a mother and I have a mother. My mother's wonderful. But I don't know about your mother because you. I've never heard to talk about it. [01:01:07] Speaker B: No, no, my mother. No, I don't. My mother's gone now. Yeah. Which is unfortunate. She was a very nice lady, but she died about 10 years ago, so I don't have a mother. But I mean, I did, and she was lovely. [01:01:19] Speaker C: See, Noam, the thing is that I'm younger than you. [01:01:22] Speaker B: Oh, you're a lot younger than I am. [01:01:23] Speaker C: Well, I'm not going to say that, Noam, because I'm not going to say that you're an older person. I'm not going to say that because I appreciate your work far too much. [01:01:33] Speaker B: Oh, well, I appreciate that. Okay, I won't bring it up either, then. [01:01:37] Speaker C: Okay. However. However, we're going to go on from here. [01:01:41] Speaker B: Okay? [01:01:43] Speaker C: My point is, like I said to you a few moments ago. [01:01:47] Speaker B: Yes. [01:01:48] Speaker C: I'm formulating my letter to Dear Abby so I can get a nationwide audience. [01:01:53] Speaker B: Okay. [01:01:54] Speaker C: My point is. [01:01:55] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:01:56] Speaker C: I worked for a long time today waiting on all the mothers. [01:02:01] Speaker B: You did. You worked many, many hours. Yeah. [01:02:03] Speaker C: Very many hours. [01:02:05] Speaker B: Yeah, but you said you're a tough little bugger. [01:02:07] Speaker C: Well, my point is, which I keep trying to get to, but you keep interrupting. [01:02:13] Speaker B: I'm gonna be quiet. I'll be quiet. I swear. I swear to God. [01:02:17] Speaker C: I'm wondering how much people nowadays one feel like is a good tip, is a regular tip. I work for my tips. [01:02:27] Speaker B: Nor I know that because waitresses don't make a big deal of money. [01:02:32] Speaker C: They make 250 for an hour. [01:02:34] Speaker B: Is that what you make? [01:02:35] Speaker C: That's what. Okay, so 55 an hour. [01:02:38] Speaker B: So you, so I know. So you count it. Well now, what's a, what's a good tip? I, you know, I, because I try to. 20. Okay, it should be 20. Okay, 20. [01:02:48] Speaker C: You know what? It is 20. Now because of the economy, I mean, we pay our gas bill, we pay our electric bills, we pay our student loans. [01:02:57] Speaker B: Free building, they do not allow smoking anywhere in. Inside here we have some, you know, avid smokers who have to go out to the parking lot and I think only one section of the parking lot to smoke. And so giving it up seems to be the thing to do. I don't know what I would have done had I, if had I still been smoking. Because I was a heavy smoker up to about 10 years ago and I could imagine. And being on the air, I don't have time to go outdoors, maybe, you know, stick my head out there during the 3 o' clock or 2 o' clock news, news on the hour, the ABC news. So that, so I'm so glad I gave it up, otherwise that this would be intolerable. I couldn't even imagine getting, getting through an hour of a program without smoking. So anyway, have you cut down on smoking at all? [01:03:44] Speaker D: Well, no, I've never been. I've never exceeded 50. Well, 15 cigarettes is three quarters of a pack because it's 20 in a pack. I've never exceeded that. I started when I was 15 and when I'm tuning pianos, when I'm working, I only do like five or six cigarettes a day. But I gotta be working. I can take my mind off it. Because you don't want to. You can't smoke and tune at the same time. Because if you don't wash your hands and the keys smell and I don't want to, I don't do like some stupid people, they put the cigarette between the keys and burn a hole in the. An oval shaped hole in the white, you know, that's. I'm not like a jerk like that. [01:04:20] Speaker B: Well, I'm pleased to hear that. [01:04:22] Speaker D: I mean, when I'm working, like if I was tuning your piano, I probably wouldn't smoke at all. And maybe when I'm done, when I was all finished and after you paid me, I don't mix business with pleasure. After I'm done, I'd probably say, is it okay if you said, can I say for supper? I might ask you if there's a place where I could smoke because it [01:04:39] Speaker B: would be my reward. [01:04:41] Speaker D: But no, there's a lot of people. You. It's all list of people that are trying to get. For 10 years that have been trying to get me to give it up. You, Paul Banzit, Quinn, Larry King, Ted o' Brien and Mark Zerkowitz, you've all [01:04:52] Speaker B: been trying to get it up. Really? What a distinguished group of people. [01:04:56] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:04:56] Speaker B: I would hope you listen to at least one of us and think about it. You probably haven't. You're not even thinking about it, are you? [01:05:03] Speaker D: Larry Glick, Add him to the list. [01:05:05] Speaker B: But you have no intention of giving up cigarettes at all, have you? [01:05:08] Speaker D: No, I enjoy it. Oh, yeah. But I also don't intend to go up to 10, 2, 3. You know, I don't understand how, you know, these people go way up to three. Back today, I've never. But you're right. No, that's what Larry Good said to me. You're not gonna stop, are you? [01:05:23] Speaker B: No. I mean, the idea is just to. Just to stop. [01:05:26] Speaker D: Yeah, I know. [01:05:28] Speaker B: And if you know, you know, you're just saying that casually. You're trying to humor me along. [01:05:32] Speaker D: No, I know what you're saying, but I mean, you have to want to do it. And I guess, you know, if I [01:05:36] Speaker B: met the right one, if I met [01:05:38] Speaker D: a woman who loved me but wouldn't marry a smoker that way, you know, I do it for a woman, but I wouldn't do it. Yeah. [01:05:44] Speaker B: For example, if Michelle Pfeiffer said, you give up smoking. Well, I'm not crazy. Well, whoever, whoever you're crazy about. [01:05:50] Speaker D: Elizabeth Montgomery. [01:05:51] Speaker B: Elizabeth Montgomery. She said to you, glenn, give up smoking. And if you can give it up for six months, within six months, we will have sex. [01:06:01] Speaker D: Oh, yeah. [01:06:02] Speaker B: Okay. You would give it up? [01:06:03] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:06:05] Speaker C: For that? [01:06:06] Speaker D: Yeah, I know. I'd go crazy. My coffee intake would go up. I'd be biting my nails, you know. [01:06:13] Speaker B: Okay. Well, babe, that's the kind of incentive you really need, though. That's true. Some kind of motivation like that. I'll see what I can do. I'll be in touch with her. I call her every morning after the program. She wants to know how it went. So I'll call her probably about 5 o' clock this morning when I get off the air and tell her it went really swell and I'll tell her about you. [01:06:34] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:06:35] Speaker B: Okay. I gotta get going, Glenn. [01:06:36] Speaker D: Okay. [01:06:37] Speaker B: Anyway, good luck to you. That's my friend Glenn, though you can tell he has no intention of giving him smoking at all. That's too bad. [01:06:44] Speaker D: A great many people think that Jack Luggman and I are just like Felix and Oscar because we've played them so long. [01:06:50] Speaker B: I didn't say assume, did I? [01:06:52] Speaker D: No, I said think. [01:06:53] Speaker B: Let's start again. [01:06:55] Speaker D: A great many people assume that Jack Klugman and I are just like Felix an Oscar because we played them so long. Is that any good? [01:07:01] Speaker F: Tony Randall and Jack Gluckman return live [01:07:04] Speaker B: on stage in the Odd Couple. [01:07:06] Speaker F: Never assume, because truth is that Jack [01:07:08] Speaker B: is an obsessive neat freak and I am a sloppy woman.
