In what year was the revolving door patented by Theophilus Van Canel or Van Cannell? And then we close with a little post game dancing before the news. Episode 299, Pretty Voices talks its way to your ears. [00:01:16] Speaker B: Now we're playing the best game and he never got a chance to host it. [00:01:21] Speaker C: You know, you're right. I never thought of it. And that quite that light. And this. And he's an old guy too. How much more time does he have in broadcasting? So he probably will never get a chance to host it now. [00:01:33] Speaker B: Exactly. [00:01:34] Speaker C: Yeah, I never. Oh, I'm so sorry. Hey, you know who else is playing the game with us? Andrea. [00:01:40] Speaker B: Who? [00:01:41] Speaker C: The very lovely Jim up in Lowell. Hi, Jim. [00:01:45] Speaker D: Hi, Norman. [00:01:46] Speaker C: Oh, geez, I thought you come in a little stronger than that. I know, man, I know, I'm sorry. [00:01:51] Speaker D: But geez, I got Lisa and Andrea. [00:01:54] Speaker C: I know. So I thought you'd be so excited. You say, hey, I know. All right, you come in. [00:02:01] Speaker D: Are we going to have a Joe Bob or somebody on the other. [00:02:04] Speaker C: No, as a matter of fact, you're the. Well outside of the. The WBZ stalwarts over here in the studios, you. You're working with a whole bunch of women. [00:02:15] Speaker D: I gotta represent the. The male. [00:02:17] Speaker C: Oh, you do. And don't you know and just represent them well, otherwise everybody will think you're a sissy. [00:02:23] Speaker D: I'm in big trouble. [00:02:26] Speaker C: We have Jenny who's down in Plymouth. Hi, Jenny. [00:02:28] Speaker B: Hello. [00:02:29] Speaker C: Hello. [00:02:30] Speaker B: He's in good company. [00:02:32] Speaker C: I'm in good company. [00:02:33] Speaker B: He is in good company. [00:02:34] Speaker C: Oh, oh, Jim is in good company. Yeah. He doesn't seem to realize that, but he is in good company. [00:02:40] Speaker B: Tell him. No, I'm. [00:02:41] Speaker C: Yeah. And apparently, apparently Brian and Adam are producers who are on duty at this moment. And note that I Have two producers, not one like others. Have we. They. Apparently. You're too important, Norm. Pardon me? [00:02:55] Speaker D: You're too important. [00:02:56] Speaker C: I am. I'm terribly important. And it's. It's about time somebody realized that. And also because those people up in the office who run this station, they think I'm a schmuck, and I'm really not. I'm a swole person and terribly important to the operation. [00:03:10] Speaker E: I want to know something. Since it is my birthday today, if I guess my own age, do I get something? [00:03:14] Speaker C: Well, I'm trying to think of whether or not we ought to guess your age. Everybody will guess except you. You. You mentioned your age yesterday, though, so I think I mentioned. You mentioned it too. [00:03:25] Speaker E: I mentioned it today, too. [00:03:26] Speaker C: Wait, now, where is. Where's. Oh, I see. Adam is in a darkened room. [00:03:32] Speaker E: Isolation booth. [00:03:33] Speaker C: Oh, I see. Hello, Adam. [00:03:35] Speaker B: Hello. [00:03:37] Speaker C: Okay, that's enough of that. And I guess you were all smitten with Yumiko because she's gonna be playing the game with us too. Yumiko, you must have talked your way into that because apparently they love you desperately. [00:03:49] Speaker B: Oh, they do? [00:03:51] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:03:51] Speaker B: Well, that sounds pretty interesting. [00:03:54] Speaker C: Oh, I thought you would say something a little more passionate than, oh, that sounds very interesting. I thought you would say, I hope so, because you know what, baby? I dig them too. So much, I can't stand it. [00:04:07] Speaker B: Okay, you know what, baby? I dig them too. [00:04:10] Speaker E: You're very pretty. [00:04:13] Speaker C: Very pretty. That was very, very nice. Who said what? [00:04:16] Speaker E: I said she has a very pretty voice. Now, all you have to say now [00:04:19] Speaker C: is just say, happy birthday, Brian. [00:04:21] Speaker E: And that little like. [00:04:22] Speaker C: That's right. It is, Brian. Brian McKinley is having a birthday today. Now, you will tell your age. It's 27. [00:04:28] Speaker D: Nine. [00:04:28] Speaker E: Oh, 29. [00:04:29] Speaker C: Yes, 29. Does that hurt you, the fact that you're almost 30? [00:04:33] Speaker E: You know, actually, if I shave and keep wearing a baseball cap, I could probably still pass for, like, 20, 21. [00:04:40] Speaker C: You do look very young. But I remember the worst decade I ever passed in my life was when I hit 30. Well, thanks. No, no, I mean, no, it passes very quickly. As soon as you hit it, you're okay. But somehow that seems to be a terrible time in many people's lives. [00:04:58] Speaker E: Yeah, I've been getting that already. Everybody's like, well, you might as well say you're 30 because you're almost there. [00:05:03] Speaker C: No, you're not. No, that's not almost there is not the same. The reason for that is, I think when you're in your 20s, you still think I can do stupid Things. And people say, well, he's in his 20s, just a kid. Then you figure you hit 30 and you can't use that excuse anymore. Like, I'm 30, I'm a grown man. Which is kind of silly because I'm holding you responsible for every stupid thing you do, even at 29. So knock it off. Hey, Adam. How you doing? [00:05:29] Speaker D: Hey. [00:05:31] Speaker C: Is that it? I can't think of anything original right now. I'll get back to you. I see. Hey, it's gonna be that kind of thing. Okay. Okay. Let's. Let's give you the first birthday. Today's Garrison Keeler's birthday. Rob Floyd, our traffic gentleman. Oh. Oh, excuse me, Rob Floyd. Excuse me. Not the first time, Norm. I did that once before, didn't I? I would say more than once before. I'm so sorry, Robert. There's some way I could. Is it because I'm the youngest one on the panel? [00:06:04] Speaker B: I doubt that. [00:06:06] Speaker C: 26. Yeah. [00:06:07] Speaker B: No, you're not. [00:06:08] Speaker C: No. Because, Yumiko, you're younger than that, aren't you? [00:06:11] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:11] Speaker C: How old are you? [00:06:12] Speaker B: 23. [00:06:13] Speaker C: 23. Is there anybody younger than that? [00:06:16] Speaker D: No. [00:06:17] Speaker C: You're the youngest, then. [00:06:18] Speaker B: Wow. [00:06:19] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. [00:06:20] Speaker E: Mentally, I'm 12, but I guess that wouldn't count. [00:06:24] Speaker C: Okay. Well, anyway, let's. Let's. Garrison Keillor is having a birthday today. Do you know who Garrison Keeler is? [00:06:32] Speaker B: Yes. [00:06:33] Speaker C: The originator of A Prairie Home Companion. [00:06:36] Speaker B: A Minnesotan. [00:06:38] Speaker C: A Minnesotan. That's right. And he created Lake Wobegon in 1978. Has written a lot of stuff in magazines and stuff. Kind of folksy. He writes folksy stuff and kind of. And witty stuff for the Prairie Home Companion, which is quite a good show. Garrison Keeler. The only problem with Garrison is sometimes he does his radio show and it's televised while he's doing the radio show. That makes sense. A radio show is a radio show nobody should see because once you see it, it spoils the illusion. Thank you very much. I'm glad you all jumped in to agree with me on that. We'll start with you, Lisa. How old do you think Garrison Keillor is? [00:07:17] Speaker B: Oh, you would have to ask me first. [00:07:20] Speaker C: That's because you're first in my heart. [00:07:22] Speaker B: I know. 61. [00:07:25] Speaker C: 61. Okay. And, Andre, what do you think? [00:07:28] Speaker B: I think he's 54. [00:07:30] Speaker C: Andre says he's 54. You have a nice voice, too, Andre. [00:07:33] Speaker B: Well, one day I'm going into broadcasting. [00:07:36] Speaker C: Are you? [00:07:37] Speaker B: Oh, I don't know. When I'm 84, I'm gonna have my own Show. [00:07:41] Speaker C: You're gonna have a senior citizen show? No, because you're young too, aren't you? How old are you? You in your 20s? [00:07:47] Speaker B: No, I'm 40. [00:07:48] Speaker C: Oh, well, you're 40, but I'm young. No, 40, I think is very young. I mean, you don't really become a woman until actually till you're 50. So call me in about 10 years. Jim, what do you say? How old do you think Garrison Keeler is? [00:08:03] Speaker D: I'll go along with about 64. [00:08:06] Speaker C: Go along with about 64? Yep. Okay. And Jenny? [00:08:12] Speaker B: 57. [00:08:14] Speaker C: 57. And Adam, what do you say? I didn't get any yesterday, so the pressure's really on here. Yeah, you did. We really stuck up the place yesterday. You were really wretched, if I may put it in polite terms. How about 50? [00:08:31] Speaker D: 50. [00:08:31] Speaker C: How about 50? We'll put down 50 and in a few minutes we'll find out just how close you came. And Brian, what do you think? [00:08:40] Speaker E: Oh, this is a birthday boy. [00:08:42] Speaker C: Yes. Having a birthday today. Himself. [00:08:44] Speaker E: So I automatically went. Clear the lines. I'll hit take a stab at 60. [00:08:49] Speaker C: At 60. Okay. And Rob, what do you say? I'm gonna say 50. Rob is gonna say 50, same as Adam said. And going along with yesterday's loser, are you. That says something about you. You're okay. [00:09:05] Speaker B: And Yumiko, I'm gonna say 51. [00:09:09] Speaker C: 51. [00:09:10] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:09:11] Speaker C: And you know by saying 51, you came the closest because Carrison Keeler is 52. [00:09:20] Speaker B: But I said 53. [00:09:24] Speaker C: Who said that? [00:09:25] Speaker B: Andrea. [00:09:27] Speaker C: Pardon me? [00:09:28] Speaker B: Andrea. I said 53. [00:09:29] Speaker C: Oh, you said. No, you said 54. [00:09:31] Speaker B: Oh, sorry. [00:09:32] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm sorry. If you had. If you had said 53, you would have been tied along with. You make your numbers. You said 54. Nobody said 53. But even 54 is close. And Adam said 50 and sort of drop. So you're all very close. Except Jim, who said 64. Shame on you. I've always wanted to do that anyway. [00:09:56] Speaker B: What? [00:09:57] Speaker C: That's an interesting name. Yamiko. Now, does that have. Is that a special meaning or. [00:10:02] Speaker B: No, it's Japanese. My mom's Japanese. [00:10:04] Speaker C: Yeah. Such a pretty name you make on you. Such a pretty voice. I think I'm falling in love and you're young enough to be my granddaughter. I really feel. I feel ashamed of myself for these thoughts. [00:10:16] Speaker B: If you weren't dating, you could date my grandmother. [00:10:20] Speaker C: Oh, stop it. Oh, you just shut up. Okay, Stan. You know any of you know Stan Freeberg? No. No. It's a shame because he was one of the. He's One of the great satirists, one of the. It's marked here as one of the great creative geniuses in the radio commercial business. And I would agree with that. The guy is sensational. His first hit record was St. George and the Dragonette in 1953 was a takeoff on the Dragnet program, which at that time was on. Just on radio, I guess maybe starting to get on television too. His US of America album has probably aired the most of all his recordings. I used to play that a lot. He wrote a musical based on the history of the United States. He was going to make it a three part thing. I don't think he got past the first part. Never got on Broadway or anything, but so far as I know. But was a great recording. Been very successful in the advertising business. Did a lot of. In the. In the closing days of radio, before television really took over, he did a comedy series on cbs. I think it was with some very funny stuff. Very funny, creative, interesting person. And nobody is there nobody on the panel here who has ever heard of Stan Freeberg. No, no, no, no. Isn't that sad? It's that said I'm the only one who's heard of him. So we can move on to the next. Well, we'll try him anyway. Maybe some of the things I said will give you a clue. Like the first hit record being in 53, which was. What is that, 41 years ago? Yeah, 41. Okay, so. So guess. You guess his age by. By that norm. [00:12:07] Speaker B: Was he with Spike Jones? [00:12:09] Speaker C: No, he was not. He was not. Spike Jones did a lot of comedy stuff and all that and Spike Jonas with his orchestra. But Stan Freeberg was a writer and a comic. Kind of different, quite different. A little more sophisticated than Spike Jones. See, it's a shame. I wish I could play some stuff by him and I don't have any with me. But he was absolutely was a genius. Stan Freebrook, quickly, we forget. Yumiko, let me start with you. How old do you think Stan Freeberg would be? [00:12:43] Speaker B: Okay, I'm gonna say 70. [00:12:47] Speaker C: 70. Okay. And Rob? 72. Rob says 72. And what do you say, Brian? [00:12:57] Speaker E: I'll say 75. [00:12:59] Speaker C: 75. Okay. Adam, I'll go along with Brian in 75. Okay. Because you guys, I'll have to bring some stuff in so you can listen at least off the air because you guys are, you know, got great futures ahead in broadcasting. You got to know who some of the pioneers are who did amazingly wonderful things. And Stan Freeberg was one of them. Jenny, what do you say 82. 82. Okay. And Jim, [00:13:30] Speaker D: 73. [00:13:32] Speaker C: What do you think, Andrea? [00:13:34] Speaker B: 78. [00:13:35] Speaker C: And Lisa? [00:13:36] Speaker B: 74. [00:13:38] Speaker C: Okay. 68. Which is a wonderful age. I think if you're gonna be any age at all, 68. 68 is a wonderful. That's my age. Okay? And I admit it. I thought he was older than. I know, but maybe he's lying. Or maybe I'm lying. [00:13:58] Speaker B: His name's been around a long time. [00:14:00] Speaker C: Stan Freeberg. Yes. 68. The. The closest. I think. I think is still Yumiko. She said 70. Yeah. Yumiko is the closest. Anybody? Nobody closer than that. [00:14:16] Speaker D: Andrea had 70, didn't she? [00:14:18] Speaker C: Andrea said 78. Yeah. No, nobody was closer. Yumiko at 70 and he's 68. [00:14:26] Speaker D: Can I change mine? [00:14:29] Speaker B: No, you can't. [00:14:30] Speaker C: Who said. Who said you can't? [00:14:32] Speaker B: You may go. [00:14:33] Speaker C: You may go. Okay. I love the. I love the little baby voice. You used to say that. No, you can't. Well, that's not nice. You mustn't do that. You can't do that. Okay, how about B.J. thomas? You know that name? [00:14:48] Speaker B: Yep. [00:14:49] Speaker C: Okay. Thank goodness for that. His name is. You know what the BJ stands for? Billy Joe. Isn't that cornball? Anyway, BJ Thomas, the singer from Houston, Texas, biggest hit, of course, was Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head from the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. That was in 1970. I can't believe it was that far back. [00:15:15] Speaker B: My daughter was still in high school. [00:15:17] Speaker C: Your daughter was. No, I wasn't. Oh, you were? Yeah. 1970. Yeah. That's 24 years ago. [00:15:23] Speaker B: I wasn't born yet. [00:15:25] Speaker C: Oh, shut up. Nobody asked you. Just stop that. I hate people who say that. Yes, sir. I remember. I remember I went to the store then. I was 72 years old in that year. And then there's somebody like Yamikos. I wasn't even born then. Anyway, he wrote the. That's okay. He wrote the TV theme from the move from the TV show Growing Pains. Although I don't remember that at all. I. Let me see if I remember how the song goes. I'm growing up and I have growing pains. And my legs ache and everything. Cause I'm growing so fast. I'm outgrowing my clothes and everything. And I got grow and fade. I think it was something like that. Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, for my next number. Okay, B.J. thomas, let's start with you. Jenny. What do you think? [00:16:24] Speaker B: 52. [00:16:25] Speaker C: I'm sorry, what did you say? [00:16:27] Speaker B: 52. [00:16:28] Speaker C: 52. Okay. For BJ Thomas. Andrea, what do you say? [00:16:32] Speaker B: 50. [00:16:33] Speaker C: Andrea says 50. And Rob says 48. 48. Says 48 for BJ Thomas. Okay. And Yumiko? [00:16:45] Speaker B: 49. [00:16:46] Speaker C: Yumiko says 49. What do you say? Lisa? [00:16:51] Speaker B: 51. [00:16:53] Speaker C: Lisa says 51. [00:16:55] Speaker D: Jim 54. [00:16:58] Speaker C: Okay. Adam 52. And Brian 53. Okay. Now this is the magic moment when we undo the envelope, find out his actual age. BJ Town's 52 is correct. [00:17:15] Speaker E: Somebody hit it up. [00:17:16] Speaker C: Yeah. So we had Jenny and Adam both hit it. I got one at least. [00:17:22] Speaker E: Wow. [00:17:22] Speaker C: Yes, you did. And the rest of you came very close. But Don Larson, remember the baseball pitcher? New York Yankees pitcher. [00:17:32] Speaker B: Yep. [00:17:33] Speaker C: In 1956. Oh, shut up. [00:17:41] Speaker B: I didn't say it. [00:17:42] Speaker C: As a matter of fact, in 1956, myself, personally, I was quite young myself. I was only 71 years of age. Anyway, in 1956, he became the first and only pitcher to hurl a perfect game in World Series play. That was 1956. Yankees won the series over the old Brooklyn Dodgers 4 to 3. Don Larson, Whale of a pitcher, one of the great all time pitchers. And we're going to start with Adam. How old do you think? 70 years old. 70 years old. [00:18:17] Speaker E: Okay. [00:18:17] Speaker C: Andrea, what do you think? [00:18:19] Speaker B: 59. [00:18:20] Speaker C: 59. Okay. And Brian? [00:18:25] Speaker E: I'll say 68. [00:18:27] Speaker C: Brian will say 68. And Lisa, what would you say? [00:18:34] Speaker B: Well, say 65. [00:18:37] Speaker C: And Rob 65. And Jenny? [00:18:42] Speaker B: 69. [00:18:44] Speaker C: And the lovely Yumiko? [00:18:47] Speaker B: 67. [00:18:49] Speaker C: 67. Okay. Don Larson is. Whoa. What? [00:18:53] Speaker B: Uh. [00:18:53] Speaker C: Oh, Jim. Oh, Jim, I'm sorry. Oh, I'm glad. I'm glad you spoke up before I told you the answer. [00:19:01] Speaker D: Well, I would have waited another minute. [00:19:04] Speaker C: I know that was dumb of me. I'm sorry. [00:19:07] Speaker D: I'm gonna say 62, and if I don't get this one right, I'm gonna jump off the bridge. [00:19:12] Speaker C: Any special bridge? [00:19:14] Speaker D: You name it. [00:19:15] Speaker C: Is there a bridge? Is there a bridge in Lowell over the. Probably over the Merrimack River? There must be a bridge there. [00:19:20] Speaker D: There's about 10 of them. [00:19:22] Speaker C: And you'll be floating downstream. We'll pick you up at either Lawrence or Haverhill. Maybe 62. Okay, 62. Actually, Don Larson is 65 and Rob Floyd and Lisa both said that. All right, so that's okay. You're probably saying okay, Norm, what is the tally so far? We have a number of people who have won one. And nobody's won more than that. No, Yumiko has two. Oh, Yumiko has two. That's right. Yumiko, you have two correct answers. [00:19:56] Speaker B: Eureka. [00:19:58] Speaker C: Eureka. Okay, one apiece from Lisa, Jenny, Adam and Rob. [00:20:06] Speaker D: I know somebody that doesn't have any. [00:20:08] Speaker C: I know three people who don't have any. Who do you think? Who's on your list? [00:20:15] Speaker D: I don't know, but they're my friends. [00:20:17] Speaker C: Okay, let's see. Brian, Jim, that's you and Andrea. [00:20:23] Speaker B: I'm flunking. [00:20:25] Speaker C: No, it's okay. It's not too late. You can still get enough credits to go to college and graduate from our school. [00:20:32] Speaker E: Get teacher summer school. [00:20:34] Speaker C: Yeah, there aren't a whole lot of interesting, really interesting people born on August 7th. Oh, right here. [00:20:40] Speaker E: I was. [00:20:41] Speaker C: Well, you were. No, you were. So. And those of you mothers who are pregnant and if you're thinking of having really interesting children, this would be a great day to do it because there's not much going on. Alan Page. Now, who's Alan Page? You're asking who's Alan Page? [00:20:58] Speaker B: Running back for the Chicago Bears. [00:21:00] Speaker C: That's exactly right. Hall of Famer, played for the Vikings from 1960s. And remember, pay attention to these dates. Played for The Vikings from 67 to 78. And the Chicago Bears. 78. 81. He is Minnesota's first African American Supreme Court justice and the first African American ever elected to statewide office in Minnesota. So we're talking about a very formidable guy. Alan Page. [00:21:33] Speaker D: When did he play for this. [00:21:35] Speaker C: For the Vikings from 67 to 78. And the Bears from 78 to 81. Okay, so we're going to start. I think we'll start with you, Adam, because that was a good question. How about 49? Adam says 49. Okay. And Jim, what do you say? [00:21:54] Speaker D: I gotta go along with Adam. I was thinking 49. [00:21:56] Speaker C: 49 also. Okay. And Yumiko? [00:22:02] Speaker B: 50. [00:22:03] Speaker C: 50. I wasn't even born then. I don't even know what that. [00:22:08] Speaker B: I'm not gonna live that one down, am I? [00:22:10] Speaker C: Okay, Brian, what do you say? [00:22:14] Speaker E: I'll go with 48. [00:22:16] Speaker C: Brian says 48. And let's see. Andrea, 47. And what do you think, Lisa? [00:22:25] Speaker B: 49. [00:22:27] Speaker C: Lisa says 49. And Jenny 55. And what do you think, Rob? 48. 48. Okay, the answer is. Actually, I'm on. Page is 49. [00:22:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:22:42] Speaker C: And we had Lisa and Jim and Adam all said that. Oh, this is really just that exciting. That means that. Pardon me. That means Lisa and Yumiko both are tied with two apiece. No. And Adam also has two. [00:23:04] Speaker B: Go ahead. [00:23:05] Speaker C: Oh, this is. This is where you going? Right down to the. Right down to the line. Yeah, this is really exciting. Boy, this is. Boy, she got a news team. Right on it. [00:23:14] Speaker D: Oh, [00:23:16] Speaker C: is the I team is that active 24 hours a day at WBZ TV or. They're all sleepy. They probably are sleeping. They have to get their rest, you know, they have to get their energy. They're probably getting their ad libs, you know, people in television, or they can't even ad lib their own names. [00:23:36] Speaker E: Norman. [00:23:36] Speaker D: I got one right. I think I'm going to get diarrhea. [00:23:40] Speaker C: You're excited, too, are you, Jim? [00:23:45] Speaker B: Okay. [00:23:46] Speaker C: Okay, here's one. Rodney Crowell. C R O W E L L. Let me tell you about what he's done, though. Before you become too discouraged, I don't want you to jump into. I don't want you to jump into the Merrimack river just yet. He wrote Shame on the Moon. What a stupid title. I read that. Shame on the Moon for Bob Seeger. One of his biggest hits was with his former wife, who's married to Roseanne Cash, of course, is the daughter of the very lovely and exciting Johnny Cash. His biggest hits was with her called It's Such a Small World. And he did that in 1988. He won his first Grammy in 1990 for the best country song called after all this Time. So there are a whole lot of clues with a lot of years attached. So I would think that would kind of. That would help. Rodney Crowell. Or maybe it's Rodney Crowell, you know? Anybody know how to pronounce his name? [00:24:49] Speaker B: Crowell. [00:24:50] Speaker C: Crowell. [00:24:53] Speaker D: He just lost the whole audience. What? [00:24:56] Speaker C: Rodney Crow? You think nobody really cares? Yeah, you're probably right. I don't think I even. I care. We'll start with you. Let's see. We haven't started with you, Rob. What do you think, Rodney Kroll? Oh, who knows? That's right. [00:25:15] Speaker B: I don't. [00:25:17] Speaker C: I would think that Rosette, Rosanna, Cash would know. I'd say 46. 46, sure. Okay. And what do you say, Jim? [00:25:28] Speaker D: 48. [00:25:30] Speaker C: Adam 45. Okay. What do you think, Brian? [00:25:36] Speaker E: Well, since I'm not doing anything on my own, I might as well jump on somebody else. I'll say 48. [00:25:41] Speaker C: Okay. You were jumping on Jim. [00:25:43] Speaker B: Okay. [00:25:44] Speaker E: Sorry. [00:25:44] Speaker D: Jim, you picked a loser, buddy. [00:25:47] Speaker E: Oh, that's right, too. [00:25:48] Speaker C: You got nothing. [00:25:49] Speaker E: I should have picked Adam, or [00:25:52] Speaker C: at least he was going to jump on anybody. Could be Timo or Jenny or Andrea or Lisa or somebody. Okay. What do you think, Yukimo? I'm sorry, Yumiko. [00:26:04] Speaker E: I was gonna say you added a new player. [00:26:09] Speaker B: 45. [00:26:10] Speaker C: 45. Okay. And Lisa, 45. They're all jumping on Me, I could [00:26:16] Speaker E: jump off Jim and jump onto Yumiko and. [00:26:20] Speaker C: Okay, what do you say, Andrea? [00:26:22] Speaker B: I say 45. [00:26:24] Speaker C: And Jenny 43. 43. Okay. Actually, he's 44. You know, let's see. We got a lot of winners, though, because we. Lisa, Andrea, Adam, and Yumiko. Also at 45 and 43. Let's see. Was Jenny. Yeah. So, Jenny. Jenny, almost all of you won. [00:26:53] Speaker D: I didn't hear my. [00:26:54] Speaker E: Almost all of you. [00:26:57] Speaker C: Three of you just came out of the running and looked pitiful. Thanks, Jim. Really stank up a place. [00:27:02] Speaker D: I didn't get my name in there. [00:27:04] Speaker B: A bunch of winners. [00:27:05] Speaker C: No, I guess you have. So. So here's what we have now. We have Lisa with three correct. You're. You. You and Adam seem to be on your way to winning a really tasteless nothing thing. And also, Yumiko has three correct answers. Let me see. That's three by. By those. And two from Jenny and one apiece from Andrea, Jim and Yumiko. No, no, I said Yumiko's got two, three, and Rob. Okay. You know, I have. Those are the only people who have of any interest at all who were born on this date. So I had picked a couple of events that happened on this date. And you would. If you would tell me the year, I would appreciate it. That would be the. The winning thing. The year, for example, Roger Bannister from England became the first person to run the mile in less than four minutes. And the idea is to tell me what year that happened. For years, people would say, you know, some people would tell me this personally. You know, the human body is not capable of running a mile in less than four minutes. We're just not made up to be that way. For God's sakes, if you think that's so, you must be crazy and out of your head. A lot of people talk that way. Then along came Roger Bannister, and he ran the mile under four minutes. And from then on, everybody ran it even less time than he did, which indicates how crazy that person was who said to me that. I'm so angry at what that guy said, I'm ready to go out there and hit him right in the mouth. And I imagine one day somebody may run a minute mile. Three minutes, maybe, let alone four minutes. Okay, but what was the year that Roger Bannister became the first person to run the mile in less than four minutes? And let's see. We'll start with. Let's start with you, Lisa. What do you think that year was? Yes, sir. Boy, am I. When did I say? [00:29:15] Speaker B: 1976. [00:29:17] Speaker C: 1976. Okay. And Andrea? [00:29:21] Speaker B: Oh, gosh. Oh, I don't know, Norm. When I listen, usually I come closer than everybody else when I'm on. I blow it. [00:29:31] Speaker C: Well, don't say that. You don't know. You haven't blown it yet. [00:29:34] Speaker B: I say, oh, 1924. [00:29:38] Speaker C: 1924. Okay. [00:29:42] Speaker D: And Jim, I'll take 1940. [00:29:46] Speaker C: 1940. I want you to know that 1924 was before I was born. I can't say that about much of this, but I really was not born in that year anyway. Jenny, what do you say? [00:29:59] Speaker B: 1936. [00:30:01] Speaker C: 1936. Okay. Adam? 1955. 1955. Adam always asks things in a very hesitant kind of way, like a question. [00:30:12] Speaker B: You can tell we're all guessing here. [00:30:13] Speaker C: Yeah, well, especially Adam because he never. He never seems to be terribly sure what he's saying. 1955. Brian, what do you think this is the birthday boy? [00:30:29] Speaker E: I'll have to say my. [00:30:30] Speaker C: My birthday. [00:30:31] Speaker E: 1965. [00:30:32] Speaker C: That's. You were born in 1965? [00:30:35] Speaker E: Yes, I was on this very day. [00:30:36] Speaker C: August 7th. Okay. Rob Floyd, what do you say? It was definitely 1944. Definitely 1944. There's a guy who knows himself and Yumiko. [00:30:52] Speaker B: 1954. [00:30:53] Speaker C: 1954 is exactly right. [00:30:56] Speaker D: Wow. [00:30:57] Speaker C: Did you. Did you know that or was that just a guess? [00:30:59] Speaker B: I knew it. [00:31:00] Speaker C: Oh, you knew it. [00:31:01] Speaker B: Yeah. You knew that. [00:31:03] Speaker C: Did you just look it up? No, because that's okay. I mean, nobody. There are no rules to say, Ken. [00:31:08] Speaker B: No, it was actually. It was a Jeopardy. Clue the other day. [00:31:12] Speaker C: Oh, really? Was that Jeopardy? [00:31:13] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:31:14] Speaker C: Oh, because I watch Jeopardy. All the time. I miss that. [00:31:17] Speaker D: Why didn't you ask her first? [00:31:19] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:31:19] Speaker E: We could have jumped on her answer. [00:31:21] Speaker C: Well, you probably wouldn't have believed me. You probably given different guests anyway. But some of you were very close. Like Adam said 55, which was very, very good. [00:31:31] Speaker B: How about getting the prize for being the farthest away? [00:31:34] Speaker C: We could do that. Yeah. But the thing is, even when you're the closest, the kind of prizes you get are so junky that it might just as well be that way. But we have now. Yumeko is now leading with four correct answers, but we have a number with three. And here's. Here's another year. This is kind of an interesting thing, the revolving door. And I know we don't think about that very much, except it sounds like a business term. Well, we highly fire. It's kind of a revolving door, but I'm talking about the real. A real revolving door. Was patented by a man named Theophilus Van Kanel or Cannell. K, A N N E L. I never got credit for that. I mean, you ask anybody on the street. If we put the microphone on the street and say, who invented the revolving door? Probably nobody would know. Isn't that pitiful? This guy thought of it. How did he come up with an idea like a revolving door? His whole life must have been a shamble. I invented the revolving door. Oh, did you? Excuse me. Where do they keep the. Where do they keep the cake? Anyway, [00:32:47] Speaker D: what did Mr. Crapper. [00:32:49] Speaker C: Well, you know what he invented? Yes. And that was his name. That's the thing. It's like a bloomer. What was her name? The one who invented the bloomers. Her name was that too. Isn't that. Isn't that soft drink magic? Imagine having some your last name like McKinley. Assuming you invented the toilet. People say, excuse me, I gotta go under the McKinley. [00:33:19] Speaker D: His name was Crapper. [00:33:21] Speaker C: Oh, that's right. That's right. His name was Crapper. And he did it at the toilet. [00:33:25] Speaker D: Yes. [00:33:26] Speaker C: Okay. Anyway, back to revolving. [00:33:30] Speaker D: Do I get a point for that? [00:33:31] Speaker C: No, you get nothing. No, as a matter of fact, you get our hatred and the minus one and our disgust. You get our disgust, and I look at a sneer, a leer and a snare at you. [00:33:43] Speaker D: My vacation starts tomorrow. [00:33:46] Speaker C: What starts tomorrow? [00:33:48] Speaker D: My vacation. I'm going on vacation tomorrow. [00:33:52] Speaker C: Oh, why are you. [00:33:52] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:33:53] Speaker C: Oh, did you want to take the snare and the hatred with you? [00:33:56] Speaker D: No, I thought I was going to win a trip to Bermuda or something. [00:33:59] Speaker C: Oh, I see. Yeah. No, you want. You want nothing, so don't comment anything with us, pal. Anyway, the revolve. Maybe you win this one, though. The revolving door, as I mentioned, patented by Theophilus Van Canel of Philadelphia. What year was the revolving door patented? There's a piece of information nobody gives a damn about. I don't even care myself. And I'm the big MC of this cockamamie game. What do you think, Yumiko? What? What year would you say that was? [00:34:31] Speaker B: Oh, I have no idea. [00:34:34] Speaker C: Sure you don't. I would suspect nobody does. [00:34:39] Speaker B: Oh, sure, make me go first. [00:34:43] Speaker C: I'm gonna say, because whatever you say, [00:34:45] Speaker E: we're jumping on it. [00:34:49] Speaker B: 1924. [00:34:50] Speaker C: 1924. Okay. And Rob Floyd. What do you say, big guy? 1936. 1936. Brian, it's the birthday boy's gonna get this. [00:35:06] Speaker E: Yumiko. [00:35:07] Speaker B: Rob. [00:35:07] Speaker E: Let's see. All right, I'll go with Yumiko. 1924. [00:35:13] Speaker C: 1924. [00:35:14] Speaker E: Because she's looking everything up anyway, so I am not. [00:35:18] Speaker C: Well, I would tend to go more with her than with Rob Floyd if I were you. Anyway. And Adam, what do you say? I have to go with 1924 also. 1924. I see. Okay. And Jenny? [00:35:33] Speaker B: 1897. [00:35:35] Speaker C: 1890. 1897. [00:35:41] Speaker B: Okay. [00:35:41] Speaker C: That was William McKinley, I believe, was president at that time, as I recall. I don't remember whether I had voted for him or not. Okay. And Jim. No, I don't think it was William McKinley. I think it might have been. [00:35:58] Speaker E: You were probably the one that assassinated him. [00:36:01] Speaker C: Yeah, that was in 19. One or two. [00:36:04] Speaker D: Well, he got caught in that revolving door. [00:36:08] Speaker C: That's right. He killed himself. [00:36:09] Speaker E: He got caught while sitting on the cropper, that's what. [00:36:12] Speaker C: Which was in a revolving door. [00:36:15] Speaker D: Yes. [00:36:16] Speaker C: Okay. Jim, what do you think? [00:36:17] Speaker D: I don't know. Everybody's saying 24, so I'm going to say 30. [00:36:21] Speaker C: 19 30. Okay. And Jim. No, I just said Jim. Andrea, do I get another guess? [00:36:31] Speaker B: I. I have this image of doormen standing outside these major buildings in New York City from movies, maybe from the forties. I don't know. How about. Oh, 1918. [00:36:46] Speaker C: 1918. [00:36:49] Speaker B: The last one. The Red Sox won the World Series. [00:36:52] Speaker C: That's right. It was. It was the last time the Red Sox won the World Series. That's right. Lisa, what do you say? [00:36:59] Speaker B: 1925. [00:37:00] Speaker C: 1925. [00:37:01] Speaker B: Yep. [00:37:02] Speaker C: Yeah, that was the year I was born. I know you find that difficult, I imagine, because I seem so youthful and so with it. So hip hop and so cool, man, and everything. Okay, the year. Actually, the year was 1888. Oh, they had the revolving door on a lot longer than we like to think about. [00:37:22] Speaker B: I told you not to listen to me. [00:37:26] Speaker C: I told you not to listen to me. [00:37:28] Speaker B: Gosh, they were just at the end of all the Indian wars then. [00:37:32] Speaker C: Yeah. Well, let's see. Jenny came the closest. She said 1897. And you weren't that far off. You're about 11 years off. [00:37:40] Speaker B: Great. [00:37:41] Speaker C: How old is that girl, Jenny? Jenny is 31. Okay, let's see. [00:37:50] Speaker B: 39. [00:37:52] Speaker C: Did you say 39? [00:37:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:37:55] Speaker C: I see. Okay, here's the final. The final tally here. [00:37:59] Speaker D: Oh, make it a good one. [00:38:01] Speaker C: Oh, Yumiko. Yumiko's right up there with four correct answers, so Yumiko really wins. But just to. I know you want you. Everybody's keeping a scorecard and I imagine you'll probably be calling the newspapers in the morning to tell them. So I'll tell you what the other things are. Lisa had three Lisa hand three and Jenny had three and Adam had three. That's a good bounce back from yesterday, Adam. Very good, very good. Yes. And we have one from Andrea and one from Jim and let's see. [00:38:48] Speaker D: Thank you, Andrea. [00:38:49] Speaker C: Yeah. And one from Floyd. I, Rob Floyd. [00:38:53] Speaker E: That would leave. [00:38:54] Speaker C: That would leave Brian, the birthday boy who has nothing. I get graded in the curve. [00:38:59] Speaker E: Can you bring that up a little bit, like half a point or something? [00:39:04] Speaker C: Okay, we'll give you half a point. Sure. We'll put a masters underneath it. And saying that just given to him because it was his birthday. [00:39:12] Speaker E: That's right. [00:39:13] Speaker C: Otherwise he scored really stupid. That's right. That's about the size of it. You're the only one who didn't score at all. And I think that's. Yeah. Everybody else, at least one point. Oh, so sad to look at this. [00:39:28] Speaker B: We should donate. [00:39:30] Speaker C: What do you want to donate? [00:39:32] Speaker B: Well, I had one. I'll donate it to him. [00:39:34] Speaker E: So now I have one and a half. Anybody else can we hear two, two, three. [00:39:38] Speaker C: The winner. The winner is the lovely Yumiko. [00:39:42] Speaker E: Yumiko. The last minute entry. [00:39:45] Speaker C: Anima's gonna take her name and address so we can send her out a really junky, worthless, useless. What are some of the worst prizes that you've given out? Worst prizes that we have ever given out. Worst prizes. Give the three worst prizes. The three worst prizes that we have ever. One was a telephone. [00:40:07] Speaker B: That was me. [00:40:10] Speaker C: What's that, please? [00:40:11] Speaker D: Is Arthur Godfrey there? [00:40:13] Speaker C: Hold on just a minute, let me check. Arthur, you here? [00:40:17] Speaker D: Arthur? [00:40:19] Speaker C: Hold on just a minute. I was sitting back here and I was listening to the dumb birthday game, which I found to be a terribly nice, funny, funny kind of game. [00:40:31] Speaker D: 78 years old, [00:40:34] Speaker C: Arthur Godfrey, you say? 78 years old. I don't know whether you know this or not, and I hate to break this news to you in the event that you do not know it, but I have been dead for some time now and, you know, it's not a bad thing. It's really not a terribly awful bad, bad thing. You know, the thing is, Arthur, there are an awful lot of people listening to you talk, have no idea who you are. What's that? [00:41:05] Speaker D: Time stands still. So if he was 78, he's still 78. If he died 20 years ago, well, he would. [00:41:12] Speaker C: Well, in a sense, let me say, I can look his age up and nobody really cares. [00:41:16] Speaker E: But see, now, all I remember Arthur Godfrey for was selling those recliners. So I mean, that's. [00:41:23] Speaker C: How did he do that? [00:41:25] Speaker E: In the later years, it Was like. [00:41:27] Speaker C: Was it Arthur? [00:41:28] Speaker E: Who was it? Who's the guy that was selling? [00:41:30] Speaker C: Oh, that was art. Link letter. Oh I'm sorry. Yeah. Link letter. They all look alike. [00:41:35] Speaker E: Those old guys. [00:41:36] Speaker C: Those old guys. Let's see, here's Arthur Godfrey was born in 1903. So he actually was 80 when he died. In 1983 he'd be 91. He is all today. [00:41:50] Speaker B: I said he'd be in his 90s. I finally got a good one. [00:41:53] Speaker C: Well, you're right, you know, I'd be 91 years old on August 31st. Even though I am dead, I love to get presents just the same. And although I'm not able to blow out the candles on my birthday cake, I love to smell the frosting. Thank you very much. [00:42:09] Speaker D: So Norman. [00:42:10] Speaker C: Yes? [00:42:11] Speaker D: If. If these three girls say. Say they're each like. Like 20 years old and I'm 60, does that mean. [00:42:19] Speaker C: Which, which three? I mean Lisa, Andrea and Jenny and. Yeah, and yum. [00:42:24] Speaker D: I mean I can take three of them out. [00:42:26] Speaker C: Oh, you mean enough of them to average to add up to your own age? Yeah. [00:42:31] Speaker D: Could I date three of them or Lisa, Andrea and Jenny and. [00:42:36] Speaker C: Yeah. Well you see, I tell you the truth that Brian and Adam both are hot blooded fellas and they would like to get a piece of the action too. Assuming there's any action there. And I don't know about that. [00:42:48] Speaker B: I go out with their grandfather if he's got money. I was going to say what's the balance of the bank book? Well, I'll tell you what, if their grandfathers have money, I'll go out with them too. [00:43:03] Speaker C: Really? Because I'm old enough to be your grandfather, Yumiko. And I'm loaded man, because I'm in a. I'm in the high paying glamour field of broadcasting. We get paid big bucks. Nobody laughed about that except other people who are broadcasting and know the truth. [00:43:23] Speaker B: Mom? [00:43:24] Speaker C: Yes? [00:43:24] Speaker B: You're getting to be the weekend Romeo. Women have called you tonight. [00:43:30] Speaker C: I know. My, my kids are probably sickened by this. They probably don't admit that I'm their father anymore. [00:43:37] Speaker B: Well, anytime you're down in Plymouth, look me up. [00:43:40] Speaker C: Oh, wait till I write that down. Excuse me. Anybody? I'm in Plymouth, right at Plymouth Rock. Anybody know Jenny? Okay. Hey listen, I want to thank all of you. Yumika, hang on. I'm going to turn you over to Adam because he's taking your name and address, probably your phone number and your dimensions. Don't give him anything beyond your. [00:44:00] Speaker B: You make me sound like a house. [00:44:03] Speaker C: No, no, that's what I'm saying. Don't give them those. Just tell them your name and address and we'll send some kind of a junkie thing out to you, which you'll probably sell off at a flea market probably by the end of the week. [00:44:14] Speaker E: Yeah, you'll be receiving Adam and myself in the mail in about a month. [00:44:17] Speaker B: Okay. [00:44:19] Speaker C: Okay, thank you. Thanks a lot for playing. Best wishes to you. Yum. Okay, and let's see, we have Lisa. [00:44:26] Speaker B: Hey, Norm. [00:44:29] Speaker C: Nice to talk with you. Thanks a million. [00:44:30] Speaker B: Nice to talk with you. Oh, by the way. [00:44:32] Speaker C: Yes? [00:44:33] Speaker B: How can I get an autographed picture of my favorite WBC producer? [00:44:39] Speaker C: Now, which one is that, Tony or is that Tony? Yeah, I tell you. Well, why don't you. Why don't you hang in there and give your name and address to Adam also. [00:44:49] Speaker B: Okay. [00:44:49] Speaker C: And I don't know what a Tony. Does Tony have pictures? You know, he probably has pictures of [00:44:54] Speaker E: himself all over his room, but I don't think he has any available to hand out. [00:44:58] Speaker C: Yeah, I don't know. See, the pictures that we normally send out are these chintzy little postcard things that the station takes. And the last pictures they took of most of us was taken just before the sinking of the Titanic. They don't take pictures too often because it's a. Money. They spend it. It costs them money. [00:45:19] Speaker B: Well, that's what they don't. [00:45:21] Speaker C: They don't find a whole lot of laughs in that kind of a business transaction. But we'll leave. Would you take Elisa's phone number and not phone number, but name and address. We'll pass along to Tony and see what he has, Lisa. [00:45:34] Speaker B: Okay. [00:45:34] Speaker C: And meantime, thank you very, very much. [00:45:36] Speaker B: Thanks, Mom. [00:45:37] Speaker C: And thank you, Andrea. [00:45:38] Speaker B: Been a pleasure, Norm.

And everybody, everybody will call you a. [00:45:58] Speaker D: Thank you. [00:45:58] Speaker C: Okay, thank you, Jim and Jenny, you know something? [00:46:03] Speaker D: Yes.

Bye bye now. And thank you, Rob. Okay, we'll catch you tomorrow. Okay. And same to you there, Brian. [00:46:16] Speaker E: Thank you. [00:46:16] Speaker C: And very happy birthday. Hope it's a great day for you. One year now you'll be going through the. I worked with a guy named Ben Farnsworth when we rode over ei, we were doing the morning co anchoring together. He turned 30 as I was working with him and I thought he was going to jump off the Prudential Center. Now once, it's kind of funny because once you get past that by the time you're even 30 in two days, it doesn't really mean anything anymore. And from then on, age is really totally irrelevant. And it shouldn't mean anything when you're 30. But somehow it's the kind of like, how can I use the excuse, I'm just a kid, I don't know what I'm doing. That's why I made a mistake like that. I'm 30, you know, so it's kind of that moment of facing that moment seems awful. [00:47:02] Speaker E: Yeah, it's a buildup of it. [00:47:03] Speaker C: It's kind of nice. And actually you don't really become a man, I'm told, till you become about 85. I think that's the real turning point. Anyway, nice to, nice to have you with us. Okay, let's. We'll take a break for the news now. Let's, let's, let's do a little dancing before we go into the news. Norm Nathan here, WBC. Take your calls after the news. 2, 5, 4, 10:30.
