Episode 310 Informal Abnormal Economy comedy maniacally laughs its way to your ears in three, two and one.
[00:02:03] Speaker B: Okay, we will play the dumb birthday game of find out who was born on this day. We're now on the Thursday, October 21st and we'll just a little kind of an informal kind of birthday game here with Tony Nesbit.
[00:02:19] Speaker C: Hello again, Norm.
[00:02:20] Speaker B: Hello. And we have, let's see, we have Jack Hart. Hello, Hello. How all excited about the dumb birthday game, I imagine, right? Yeah.
Okay, we also have Mike Epstein.
[00:02:35] Speaker D: Hello.
[00:02:36] Speaker B: Oh, hello. How you doing? Mike in the dark. He's in the darkened studio, which I thought maybe he was not there. Okay, so this will be our panel. This, this is informal. This way I don't have to send out any gifts or anything because you're all employees of WBZ and it's affiliated stations.
[00:02:53] Speaker C: What you're trying to say is you're behind in sending gifts.
[00:02:56] Speaker B: Yes, I am. I really am behind in it. And also I just don't feel like doing it today.
I don't know, I just, I don't know. I don't know what it is. Well, as soon as I stepped up to bat, I realized I was just not going to hit for the long ball.
Okay, Thursday, October 21st. We have a few birthdays. Not too many birthdays today either, but a lot of historical events that might be kind of fun to guess the years in which they happen. Okay, here's a birthday, for example. Okay. Okay. Okay. Whitey Ford. You know what Whitey Ford's first name is? Any of you his real name?
What do we say? Ralph Henry. Henry and Henry.
[00:03:35] Speaker C: Henry Ford.
[00:03:36] Speaker B: Oh, Henry Ford. Oh, I see. Okay. No, nobody said Gerald. That name just never occurred.
[00:03:42] Speaker C: Say, Jerry Henry. I was confused.
[00:03:43] Speaker B: No, actually his name is Edward.
Edward. Whitey Ford. Former Yankee pitcher, Hall of Famer.
Won a record 10 World Series games.
[00:03:54] Speaker E: Wow.
[00:03:55] Speaker B: Left handed pitcher. Had an overall record of 236 wins, 106 losses.
He's among pitchers with over 200 wins.
His percentage of 690 was an all time high.
Oh, I'm sorry. Among pitchers with over 200 wins, his percentage of 690 was an all time high. What does that mean?
[00:04:20] Speaker D: His winning percentage?
[00:04:21] Speaker C: Winning percentage?
[00:04:22] Speaker D: His one loss percentage?
[00:04:23] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, that's what that is, the 690.
[00:04:27] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:04:27] Speaker D: That means he won just about seven out of every ten games he had a decision in, I would say.
[00:04:33] Speaker B: Oh, that sounds. That makes a lot of sense to me too, big guy.
[00:04:36] Speaker D: Well, thank you.
[00:04:37] Speaker B: Okay, well, let's guess how old he is on this very day. Whitey Ford. Let's see, we have.
We'll start with you, Tony. What do you think?
[00:04:47] Speaker C: When. Did he just have any induction dates, anything like that?
[00:04:50] Speaker B: No, it doesn't say any. Any dates in which he became a hall of Famer?
No, the only date here is the date he was born. And I certainly don't see any point in giving you that.
[00:05:01] Speaker G: Huh.
[00:05:04] Speaker B: He's 73. Whitey Ford. 73. Okay.
What do you think, Mike?
[00:05:09] Speaker D: I think he's 75.
[00:05:11] Speaker B: You think he's 75.
And Jack Hunt, what do you think?
Whitey Ford, you say? Whitey Ford. Edward.
[00:05:19] Speaker H: Edward.
[00:05:20] Speaker B: Whitey Ford. Whitey Ford. Great place I'm from.
[00:05:23] Speaker C: It doesn't say that either, does it?
[00:05:24] Speaker B: He's. Yeah, he's from New York City.
He's born in New York City.
[00:05:28] Speaker C: So that's where Whitey came from. I mean, I always wanted to know where the nickname.
[00:05:31] Speaker B: No, I would think the color of his hair.
[00:05:34] Speaker C: Oh, okay.
[00:05:34] Speaker D: He was born with gray hair.
[00:05:38] Speaker B: Maybe blonde. Very light blonde.
[00:05:40] Speaker D: Very possible.
[00:05:41] Speaker B: Yeah, I would guess that. I Would guess. That's what I would guess.
[00:05:44] Speaker C: So right now it's. Anyone seen him recently?
[00:05:46] Speaker B: He could be baldy for it now. He could be, but. But the. They call him Whitey at that time and the name stuck.
[00:05:52] Speaker I: Yeah.
[00:05:53] Speaker H: Oh, I thought it was because he didn't care for egg yolks.
[00:05:57] Speaker B: Hold on a minute. Let me check that out.
[00:05:59] Speaker C: Will you look that up?
[00:06:01] Speaker B: Yeah.
Yeah. There's no record of that at all.
The funny thing is, wouldn't it be
[00:06:06] Speaker C: interesting if Jack was right?
[00:06:08] Speaker B: Oh, interesting.
A shock.
[00:06:13] Speaker H: Let's say 71.
[00:06:15] Speaker B: 71. Well, you are the closest, but you're all well over what he is. He's 65.
You know, he just.
[00:06:23] Speaker C: No, he just sounds like an old name. They don't have any real.
[00:06:26] Speaker B: Whitey Ford sounds like an old name.
[00:06:28] Speaker C: Nicknames like that for, you know, pitchers and players.
[00:06:32] Speaker I: Yeah.
[00:06:32] Speaker B: They're not good nicknames anymore. That's true. No, that's true. And I resent that with every fiber of my mind. Body.
[00:06:39] Speaker C: I can see it.
[00:06:40] Speaker D: Yeah. I was gonna say it shows.
[00:06:41] Speaker I: Yeah.
[00:06:44] Speaker B: Okay.
Carrie Fisher from Beverly Hills, California, the daughter of Eddie Fisher and Debbie Rannells Princess Leia.
Yes. She appeared in Star wars as Princess Leia.

She was married to Paul Simon for a while.
She was also in When Sally.
[00:07:08] Speaker C: When Harry Met Sally.
[00:07:10] Speaker B: When Sally Met Harry or When Harry Met Sally Met Sally. But she was quite good in that movie, I thought.
And she has a nice sense of humor. She sort of got her mother. Debbie Reynolds sense of humor.
[00:07:21] Speaker J: Eddie.
[00:07:22] Speaker B: Eddie Fisher may have a sense of humor, too, although I have never really noticed.
[00:07:25] Speaker H: Is she also in the Blues Brothers movie?
[00:07:29] Speaker B: I don't know. Does anybody know that?
[00:07:30] Speaker D: I don't know that.
[00:07:31] Speaker I: Playing.
[00:07:31] Speaker H: What, the.
[00:07:32] Speaker B: The.
[00:07:32] Speaker H: The Jake's old girlfriend who kept on trying to kill him.
[00:07:41] Speaker D: Good question.
[00:07:42] Speaker B: Yeah, good question. But no good answer. Not no good answer.
[00:07:45] Speaker C: Leave that one up on the board.
[00:07:47] Speaker H: Yeah.
[00:07:47] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right.
Jack, what do you think? How old do you think Carrie Fisher is on this very day, October 21st?
[00:07:54] Speaker H: 37.
[00:07:55] Speaker B: 37.
Okay. What do you think, Mike?
[00:07:59] Speaker D: I think she's. Well, I was gonna say somewhere up in the 40s, but that's. I think that's way too old. I'm gonna say 38.
[00:08:08] Speaker B: 38.
[00:08:09] Speaker I: Okay.
[00:08:09] Speaker B: And, Tony, what do you think?
[00:08:11] Speaker C: I'm gonna say somewhere up in the 40s.
[00:08:13] Speaker B: Somewhere up in the 40s, which. Any specific age?
42. 42.
Okay. Actually, Jack. Jack, hit it right on the Button.
He's cheating. Is he cheating?
[00:08:25] Speaker I: You suppose.
[00:08:25] Speaker D: Here we go again.
[00:08:26] Speaker B: He said 37. That's exactly how old Carrie Fisher is on this very day.
[00:08:31] Speaker C: Wow.
[00:08:32] Speaker B: We could send her a Vermont teddy bear.
[00:08:34] Speaker C: We could.
[00:08:35] Speaker J: Yeah.
[00:08:36] Speaker C: Dress dressed as like Darth Vader or Princess Leia.
[00:08:39] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:08:39] Speaker H: That would be two crescent rolls on
[00:08:40] Speaker B: either side of its head.
[00:08:42] Speaker C: Yeah, exactly.
[00:08:45] Speaker B: Okay. How about Elvin Bishop?
Now you're probably saying, who is Elvin Bishop? Or maybe, you know, the guitar player who form a member of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Biggest hit was. Was done in 1976. I sorry, I can't give you that.
Okay. And. And it was called Fooled around and Fell in Love.
[00:09:08] Speaker G: Yes, Good. Too.
[00:09:09] Speaker B: You know that. You know how that. Can you hum that?
[00:09:12] Speaker H: I must have been through about a million girls.
[00:09:17] Speaker B: I love them and I leave them alone.
[00:09:20] Speaker D: Singer daddy.
[00:09:21] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:09:23] Speaker B: Oh, okay. That's Alvin Bishop. That's Elvin from Tulsa. Tulsa, Oklahoma.
[00:09:30] Speaker I: You ever.
[00:09:30] Speaker B: Every. Any of you guys ever been to Oklahoma?
[00:09:33] Speaker I: Never.
[00:09:35] Speaker C: Whipping down the plane.
[00:09:37] Speaker B: Yes, yes. But not only that. It smells from oil.
What.
[00:09:43] Speaker C: What kind of oil?
[00:09:44] Speaker B: Oklahoma. No, no, no. Oil. Because there are a lot of wells in Oklahoma. That's where we get a lot of our oil supply.
And traveling through these smells like oil.
[00:09:52] Speaker D: I thought maybe the odor from the Texas oil wells just kind of like drifted up.
[00:09:57] Speaker C: I'm sorry, Mike.
[00:09:57] Speaker D: Oklahoma.
[00:09:58] Speaker F: No.
[00:09:58] Speaker B: I imagine Texas has its own funny smells.
[00:10:01] Speaker C: Would you think when driving through, would you kind of like smell, smell, and
[00:10:05] Speaker B: say it was kind of crude?
No, no. You wouldn't say that at all. Crude, Jack.
Oh, we can't shine. You don't have to explain it.
[00:10:14] Speaker C: Well, Jack was answering the phone and he missed the. You know.
[00:10:16] Speaker H: I missed it.
[00:10:17] Speaker C: Yeah, he was talking about the oil smells in Oklahoma and I was wondering if it smelled kind of crude.
See, that's why I have to make sure Jack listens. Because I always know he'll give me a very fake laugh.
[00:10:29] Speaker B: Yeah.
Oh, he's. He's the guy for gas. Isn't he so ashamed of that?
[00:10:37] Speaker C: You're so refined.
[00:10:41] Speaker B: Okay. Elvis. Suppressed.
Well, well, well. Elvis. Elvin Bishop, rather. Elvin Bishop is how old? We'll start with you, Mike,
[00:10:52] Speaker H: and we'll
[00:10:52] Speaker B: start the bidding at $273.
[00:10:55] Speaker D: Elvin Bishop is.
[00:10:57] Speaker C: Are you pumped up for this one?
Wow.
[00:11:03] Speaker B: See how.
[00:11:07] Speaker I: 41 years old.
[00:11:08] Speaker B: 41. Okay. I was gonna push along and say, get the lead out of your pants.
Oh, this is.
[00:11:16] Speaker D: This.
[00:11:16] Speaker B: Is it my imagination, or is this one of the rottenest programs I've ever been affiliated with since the Beginning of my entire career.
Is this. Is this even worse than some of the country and western programs I used to do at wmex when dirty people came in and played sleazy looking guitars and awful songs.
[00:11:34] Speaker C: Dir people played sleazy looking. I like that. I like the sound of that. We can open up a club with dirty people, play sleazy looking guitars and sing awful songs. Come on down.
[00:11:45] Speaker B: Dirty tire only.
Yeah, that's right. Now that. Do you guys phrase it like that?
It sounds kind of nice. Yeah. I don't know why I had any resentment.
[00:11:56] Speaker K: Again.
[00:11:56] Speaker C: Let's all go after, after the show at 5am let's all go to the house of Pancakes and kick some butt.
[00:12:00] Speaker K: Let's start a fight.
[00:12:01] Speaker H: Absolutely. And then we'll play some, some, some sleazy guitars.
[00:12:06] Speaker B: I like it. And I. Because one of my favorites is the one that I entertain friends with, even to this day, I have to play it on the violin because I don't play guitar.
[00:12:16] Speaker C: And one of the dirtiest violins in Middleton.
[00:12:19] Speaker B: Oh, it's really an ugly, dirty, low down. Oh, gut bucket violin.
[00:12:23] Speaker C: In fact, we could call it a fiddle, I suppose.
[00:12:25] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. It's that bad?
[00:12:27] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:12:27] Speaker B: Yeah. The one I like best of all is when I was Aladdin, Old Shep was a pup. Over fields and meadows we'd roam.
And it goes right through to the death of the dog and everything.
It's a sad song. It's really a sad song.
[00:12:43] Speaker C: And you put on your clothes after you've like, you know, mucked out the stall. So you've got dirty clothes on.
[00:12:49] Speaker F: You're playing.
[00:12:50] Speaker C: Now what is this?
[00:12:50] Speaker J: Sleazy
[00:12:54] Speaker B: violin. Yeah.
[00:12:55] Speaker C: Singing an awful song. Yeah.
[00:12:56] Speaker B: Oh, it's wonderful. The neighbors come from miles around just to throw rocks.
Okay, Mike says 41 for Alvin Bishop. I think that's what we're talking about.
[00:13:07] Speaker F: Yeah.
[00:13:07] Speaker B: We're kind of lost track.
[00:13:08] Speaker C: We digress.
[00:13:09] Speaker G: Okay.
[00:13:10] Speaker B: Tony.
[00:13:10] Speaker H: Tony, kind of a dirty gringy looking fella that plays kind of a cringy guitar.
[00:13:16] Speaker B: That's me. Yeah.
[00:13:18] Speaker C: So let me see.
[00:13:19] Speaker B: 76.
[00:13:20] Speaker E: He.
[00:13:21] Speaker H: That's a spirit.
[00:13:22] Speaker B: Yeah, he did that song.
He did the song Fooled around and Fell in Love polka.
[00:13:36] Speaker C: He's 45 now.
[00:13:39] Speaker B: 45, you say? Okay. And Jack, what do you think? 40, huh? No, you're the big country in western guy, so you would know. Probably best of all.
[00:13:48] Speaker H: This is actually not really country and western.
[00:13:51] Speaker B: Oh, that's blues, actually.
[00:13:52] Speaker L: That's who you are.
[00:13:53] Speaker B: Fooled around and fell in love sounds kind of country in western. And he's from Tulsa. Oklahoma. So I, I took that to make him country, but I know he's not. He's more Bl.
[00:14:03] Speaker I: Blues.
[00:14:04] Speaker B: Yeah. Since he's with the blues band. Yeah, I used to be.
Anybody want to do like we used to do in recess? You know, when we were kid kindergarten, we just put our heads down on the desk and just grab a little cat nap.
[00:14:22] Speaker C: I like that idea.
[00:14:23] Speaker B: Let's. Because we got to be on until. Until the News starts at 5:00 and so it's up to us to hold the fort. And I don't really feel like it anymore anyway, Jack.
[00:14:34] Speaker C: Well, we'll do some mainten.
[00:14:35] Speaker I: Right.
[00:14:35] Speaker C: We'll clean up a little bit. We'll.
[00:14:38] Speaker I: We'll.
[00:14:39] Speaker H: We'll dust the chalkboard.
[00:14:40] Speaker B: I do. I, I do that for Gary lapierre. He hates a dirty desk.
So I, When I'm here, I.
[00:14:47] Speaker H: You sponge it down.
[00:14:48] Speaker B: I sponge it down. Yes, exactly. Exactly. Exactly is what I do. Now. Now we've stalled enough. What about Elvin Bishop?
[00:14:57] Speaker H: 47.
[00:14:58] Speaker B: 47.
Okay. Elvin Bishop is actually 51.
[00:15:02] Speaker I: Wow.
[00:15:03] Speaker B: You see, he's 51 years old. Yeah.
[00:15:05] Speaker C: Y gets it again.
[00:15:09] Speaker B: Jack does get it again. He's within four years and he's got three out of three. And you and Mike really are just.
[00:15:16] Speaker D: We're just stinking up the place.
[00:15:17] Speaker B: Oh, you really are. You guys suck when it comes to this kind of a thing. Jesus, this is awful. I'm going to give you some dates now, okay. Because that's about all the names of people.
Yeah, they've. They got people here who actually died during the past year.
My name is right on here.
[00:15:37] Speaker C: In fact, that happened on October 21st.
[00:15:39] Speaker B: That's right. It happened just moments ago between 3
[00:15:42] Speaker C: and 4 o' clock in the morning on the air.
[00:15:46] Speaker B: Okay. This is an invention by Thomas Edison, the first. And it happened on October 21st. The first light bulb that really worked was turned on.
You know how they turn the light
[00:15:58] Speaker H: bulb on by a female?
[00:16:00] Speaker I: Light bulb will really work.
[00:16:01] Speaker B: No, they go up to the. Yeah, it's like that. They go up to the bulb and they say, hey Bill, boy, you got a shape on you that is fantastic. I love you, bulb. Oh man, they give me goose pimples. Oh, what a bulb you are. Oh, baby, baby, baby. That really turns the bulb on. Oh, yeah, my life. Yeah, that's right. That's right. You turn a radio on the same way. Yes.
Anyway, let me turn your dial.
This was that the bulb was turned on. The first light bulb already worked. Turned on by Thomas Edison in Menlo Park, New Jersey. It lasted 40 hours. Wow. Before burning out. That's pretty good. It's better than some of the bumps I have at home now.
[00:16:42] Speaker C: That's right. Not bad.
[00:16:44] Speaker B: Okay, let me see if there's any more information on that that would help this. Thomas invented. Addison invented a working electric light.
[00:16:50] Speaker C: He invented that one that worked.
[00:16:52] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:16:52] Speaker C: And when it blew up, what do they help? What do they do?
[00:16:55] Speaker B: I just. Even better than others, I guess. It happened.
Well, the weird thing is he wasn't sure what he had invented. I remember he. He had the bulb glowing in the basement. He brought his wife down.
[00:17:06] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:17:07] Speaker B: Said, hey, look what I've got. And she said, well, what is that? How does that work? And he put his lips up to the bulb and said, hello, operator.
He didn't know. He thought he had a whole different thing going.
Now all we have to do is figure out.
Now cut that out.
Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute, guys. Come on, guys.
[00:17:47] Speaker M: Come on.
[00:17:51] Speaker B: Okay, okay. Easy, easy, guys. He started to spit all over the phone and the microphones and everything.
This. What year was that? That the first light bulb that really worked was turned out by Thomas Edison?
Once you get this, you'll never forget this.
[00:18:09] Speaker C: Ever so silly.
[00:18:11] Speaker B: Okay, What. What year was that first bulb? Okay, we'll start with. We'll start with you, Tony.
[00:18:17] Speaker C: Was it cool white or soft white?
[00:18:21] Speaker B: Hold on a minute. Let me check that out.
[00:18:22] Speaker C: Was it one of those.
Okay, you're asking me what year?
[00:18:31] Speaker B: Yeah. What year was that?
[00:18:37] Speaker C: Obviously, electricity had to be invented.
[00:18:40] Speaker B: I know.
[00:18:41] Speaker C: I assume that you have to ask me so I can really embarrass myself on this.
[00:18:46] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, yeah, that's fine.
[00:18:49] Speaker C: You can come across with money as snappy remarks.
[00:18:56] Speaker B: First electric bulb, nobody even cares anymore.
[00:18:59] Speaker H: You know, actually, he invented the word filament while he was creating that. He was trying to. He was trying to come up with different, you know, things to go.
[00:19:06] Speaker B: This is not a joke.
[00:19:07] Speaker H: And someone asked him what he was doing. He said he was making a filament. And that's where the word filament comes from.
[00:19:12] Speaker B: He's making a filament.
[00:19:14] Speaker H: He just made that word up on the spot.
[00:19:16] Speaker B: Oh, really? Yeah.
Nope.
[00:19:18] Speaker G: Yeah.
[00:19:18] Speaker B: Son of a gun. Wow.
[00:19:20] Speaker D: What a guy.
[00:19:21] Speaker B: What? Yeah. What a guy, huh?
[00:19:23] Speaker C: If we could use that sometime.
[00:19:24] Speaker M: Make up a word.
[00:19:25] Speaker C: Someone asks us what. What we're doing, and we'll say, you know, and they'll just.
[00:19:29] Speaker H: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:19:31] Speaker B: Making a palacinum.
[00:19:33] Speaker M: Yeah.
[00:19:33] Speaker B: This is a palacin. Well, where do the words come from? People make them up.
[00:19:37] Speaker G: Sure.
[00:19:38] Speaker B: You know, how else do they the words come about A fish could have
[00:19:41] Speaker H: originally been a chicken.
[00:19:42] Speaker B: Could have been that. Yeah. Or it could have been a plexi on one.
[00:19:47] Speaker L: All right.
[00:19:47] Speaker C: 18.
[00:19:49] Speaker B: Oh yeah, I forgot. What year the first bulb.
What year the first bulb. Was that a complete sentence for that kind of talk?
[00:19:58] Speaker C: The first 1827.
[00:20:05] Speaker H: Wow.
[00:20:07] Speaker B: That's embarrassing, isn't it? That it really is embarrassing.
Yes.
[00:20:11] Speaker D: Put all of our callers on hold as we check out the headlines. Are we gonna.
[00:20:16] Speaker B: Oh, oh yeah.
[00:20:17] Speaker J: Oh yeah.
[00:20:17] Speaker B: We better check out the headlines. Be back in a moment. It's wbz Boston at 3:30. I almost missed this. Listen, listen, that little span of me.
[00:20:25] Speaker H: Will you.
[00:20:28] Speaker J: The Senate has overwhelmingly approved a non binding resolution that calls on President Clinton to seek congressional authorization before dispatching troops to Bosnia Herzegovina. An identical resolution concerning Haiti will be up for a vote today. US Diplomats meantime are trying to get a new dialogue going between Haiti's military and its exiled president. But Jean Bertrand Aristide insists the junta that overthrew him must surrender power before he makes any deal.
[00:20:54] Speaker B: If it's a question of having more people with us in the government, why not? Because it's democracy. But first they have to be removed.
[00:21:06] Speaker J: Our Steech prime minister in Haiti has offered to meet with the military leadership.
Hard to believe that a big league team could blow a three run lead in a World Series game but Toronto did last night. Or that one could blow a six run lead but Philadelphia did last night. When the smoke cleared, the Blue Jays had outlasted the Phillies 15 14. From the CNN Youth Center, I'm Larry Maher.
Vice President Al Gore is enthusiastic about a government policy he says is good for business and the environment. By presidential directive, federal agencies will switch to recycled paper and motor oil and other so called green products. Gore predicts a spurt in demand for recycled goods.
A pitch for a trade treaty converted the White House into, well, what looked like a Traveling tent show. CNN's Irv Chapman has our report.
[00:21:56] Speaker M: The President said the North American Free Trade Agreement is as American apple pie and Mexicans he was told will buy $50 million worth of US apples this year. The President demonstrating all American salesmanship with the help of 150 companies which displayed export products under a 10 on the white House lawn. The president got the rare support of a trade union, local steel workers who make construction equipment at the Ellicott Company. But other unions staged their own display of US Products now made in Mexico.

[00:25:50] Speaker F: James Rif of Riverdale, Illinois is telling us about heat, his itchy skin problem.
[00:25:56] Speaker G: I was flaky skin and redness after scratching. He was irritated and there was some redness to it, but it was just a constant itch.
[00:26:06] Speaker F: But James Rife got relief using Triple Action Gold Bond Medicated Powder.
[00:26:11] Speaker G: And I started using Gold Bond and never had no problem since then. The initial reaction was it was kind of soothing. And then all of a sudden it
[00:26:20] Speaker B: was a cooling effect.
[00:26:21] Speaker G: And after that, it seemed like the itching disappeared.
[00:26:25] Speaker F: Gold Bond's Triple Action is like three great powders in one. It has the absorbing action of powder, the medicating action of a proven itch fighter, and the drying action of zinc oxide. That's Triple Action Gold Bond.
[00:26:36] Speaker G: After using it a few times, I. I've been using it ever since. Gold Bond Medicated Powder. It stopped the itching. That's the main thing. Gold Bond has did wonders for me.
[00:26:46] Speaker F: Try Triple Action Gold Bond Medicated Powder. Use only as directed. Available at all Walgreens stores.

[00:27:20] Speaker F: Paul Grossi of Valley Stream, New York. When's the last time you tried Ovaltine?
[00:27:25] Speaker I: I just had a cup 20 minutes ago. I just had some lunch and I had a glass of Ovaltine. I have it in my hand right now and I've been drinking it for years.
[00:27:33] Speaker F: Classic Ovaltine not only tastes good, it contains 10 essential vitamins and minerals, nutrients you won't find in Nestle's Quick or Hershey's.
[00:27:41] Speaker I: Try something that's refreshing and healthy for you at the same time. I would select Ovaltine. In fact, you know, you could have it hot or cold. You could have it with hot milk or you could have it with cold milk. So it makes for a different kind of drink.
[00:27:54] Speaker F: Just two glasses of classic Ovaltine and milk provide almost 100% of the recommended daily allowance of B complex vitamins A, C and D. Plus other important nutrients the body needs for strong bones, strong teeth, good eyesight and more.
[00:28:08] Speaker I: I hope more people get exposed to it somehow. Ovaltine is a great drink. That's the real reason I buy it. Great taste and it has nutritional value. Aside from all that, it's also a fun drink.
[00:28:18] Speaker F: Classic Ovaltine. Tastes great and it's great for you. Available in the nutrition section of Walgreens.
[00:28:24] Speaker B: Okay, this is the economy sized dumb birthday game. Although we have a. We have an additional member of our group here. We have a first class student, Raj.
[00:28:35] Speaker I: How you doing there, Norm?
[00:28:36] Speaker F: Hi.
[00:28:36] Speaker B: I mean listening to us giggle and being silly and everything apparently didn't turn you off too much.
[00:28:41] Speaker I: Well, well, I was just kind of said if you guys are all employees and I guess I automatically win the prizes if I call.
[00:28:48] Speaker B: Very good runners.
[00:28:50] Speaker J: Exactly.
[00:28:51] Speaker B: Plus we get. Jack Hyde has already won three rounds, so he's kind of ahead of it. Ahead of the. I forget, you're at mit, right? Okay, so your goal is to just
[00:29:02] Speaker C: beat Mike and me because we have zero, so.
[00:29:07] Speaker B: That's right, yeah. Because Tony and Mike have not won a round yet and Jack has won all three of the rounds we've played so far.
[00:29:13] Speaker I: Well, you know, winning has a very kind of broad definition in this sort of game. I mean when you win, I don't know what that means, whether you're really winning.
[00:29:20] Speaker B: Yeah, we're really not in a way because as you know, the.
I don't. Have you ever won.
[00:29:25] Speaker I: I think
[00:29:28] Speaker C: you put them on the spot. Yeah, because he threw it away.
[00:29:31] Speaker B: Yeah, because the kind of thing you win, the prizes are totally worthless and useless.
[00:29:37] Speaker I: Well, the only thing I remember is I think maybe it was Raleigh's game that I won maybe like two or three years ago and I got a farm stand T shirt that was about. I mean I could have given it to, you know, an eight month old baby that I know and he would have said what the hell? This is, you know, two sizes too small or something, you know.
[00:29:55] Speaker B: Wow, it's a little tiny, little, little T shirt.
[00:29:58] Speaker C: They were cleaning up the prize gloves.
[00:30:00] Speaker H: You essentially got a farm stand finger cut.
[00:30:05] Speaker E: Hey.
[00:30:05] Speaker I: Wow, do they still have those?
[00:30:08] Speaker C: They have this past year's probably in God awful yellow that they printed them up.
[00:30:14] Speaker I: Yeah, but normally one thing that struck my mind when you're talking about the light bulb.
[00:30:19] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[00:30:20] Speaker I: When you were turned, you know, turned on for 40 hours. Wow, that's pretty long time. That's pretty good for Light bulbs.
[00:30:25] Speaker B: It is.
[00:30:25] Speaker C: It is pretty light bulbs back then.
[00:30:27] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:30:27] Speaker I: That's pretty good endurance.
[00:30:29] Speaker B: Oh, but that.
[00:30:30] Speaker D: I could be that light bulb.
[00:30:32] Speaker G: Yeah.
[00:30:33] Speaker B: Oh, but I could be that light bulb.
That's poetic, isn't it?
[00:30:36] Speaker I: That.
[00:30:37] Speaker B: That's like Robert Frost.
Yeah. So take one step through the woods near my home for that light bulb. I think that's what. That's the full line.
Oh, maybe it's not. Anyway, the first light. We're still working on years, Tony, you said 18.
[00:30:54] Speaker C: No, I said 18. Now what did I say? 1820 something.
[00:30:57] Speaker B: Didn't I say, oh, 1820 something. Yeah, you did say that.
[00:31:00] Speaker C: What did I say? Anyone mind?
[00:31:01] Speaker H: 1827.
[00:31:03] Speaker O: That's right.
[00:31:03] Speaker C: I did say 1827.
[00:31:04] Speaker B: That's what you'd like. Well, yeah.
[00:31:06] Speaker C: The only other answer is 1829. So besides that, I have no other choice.
[00:31:12] Speaker B: Why is that the only other answer?
[00:31:14] Speaker C: I was just thinking about it again, and I thought maybe it was 1829.
[00:31:17] Speaker B: I see.
[00:31:18] Speaker G: Yeah.
[00:31:20] Speaker B: Mike, what do you think?
[00:31:21] Speaker H: It'll be your second answer?
[00:31:22] Speaker D: Yeah, I think that I really have no idea about this one. I'm really bad on this kind of history, and I'm gonna say no politics with Jack. Listen, Jack.
[00:31:33] Speaker B: Oh, wow, you're kind of in the dark about this.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Should be okay. I'm gonna say, but nobody's home.
[00:31:44] Speaker H: Oh, yeah, yeah.
[00:31:46] Speaker I: Why don't we.
[00:31:46] Speaker D: Why don't we go with, what the heck? 1830.
[00:31:51] Speaker B: 1830.
[00:31:53] Speaker C: I've sucked him into the abyss.
[00:31:54] Speaker B: There you go, Jack, what do you say?
[00:31:58] Speaker H: They lit their way through the Civil War?
[00:32:02] Speaker B: 1887. 1818.
Thank you. Thank you for embarrassing me. Okay, now we're gonna go to our MIT friend Raj, who probably has it all figured out, tape in his hand.
[00:32:17] Speaker I: Light bulb.
[00:32:18] Speaker B: You said light bulb is about light bulb.
[00:32:20] Speaker I: I think a little bit earlier, I think around, I don't know, 18.
1875.
[00:32:33] Speaker B: 1875.
Okay, I believe you are the closest.
It was 1879. God, is that embarrassing. 1879. Yeah.
[00:32:46] Speaker C: 52 years old.
[00:32:47] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:32:47] Speaker D: I never should have skipped history class.
[00:32:50] Speaker C: I forgot all about the Civil War. Jack, when you said that, I. For some reason, I knew I was wrong.
[00:32:55] Speaker H: Remember, they didn't have electric lights then.
[00:32:57] Speaker O: No.
[00:32:58] Speaker I: Yeah.
[00:32:59] Speaker B: Jack was very close, too. He came within eight years, but Rise came within four years. Oh, so rise the.
[00:33:06] Speaker I: Well, I took a course in light bulbs last term.
[00:33:12] Speaker B: Okay, here's another. Here's another one. The USS Constitution, which is obviously very dear to all of us here. The ship of the very old Very old. Very old ship. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Okay, let's see what the. This has to do.
One moment, please.
I seem to have lost the paper that has the explanation on it. Oh, here we are.
The US Navy frigate Constitution, also known as Old Ironsides. We are talking about the ship. Well, yeah. Was launched in Boston harbor.
And what year that would have been. It was launched on October 21, same as this very date. But what was the year that the Constitution was launched? Old Ironsides gonna start with you this time, Raj.
[00:33:59] Speaker E: All right.
[00:34:04] Speaker I: Did that. Can you give us a clue and say whether that was in the Revolutionary War?
[00:34:08] Speaker B: No, I can't. No, I don't believe it was in any war. As a matter of fact, I don't believe it was. That doesn't give you any indication of the.
[00:34:14] Speaker E: Of the.
[00:34:15] Speaker D: It wouldn't have been in the Revolutionary War because it wouldn't have had the
[00:34:19] Speaker B: U.S.
no, it wouldn't have had the Nord.
[00:34:21] Speaker C: Have the Constitution.
[00:34:22] Speaker H: Oh, yeah, yeah.
[00:34:24] Speaker C: We didn't have one one yet.
[00:34:25] Speaker I: Hey.
[00:34:25] Speaker J: Hey.
[00:34:25] Speaker B: Wow. French and Indian War.
[00:34:28] Speaker I: That's good. That's smart thinking.
[00:34:29] Speaker C: Yeah, I took the Constitution class last semester.
[00:34:31] Speaker I: Oh, okay.
[00:34:32] Speaker B: All right,
[00:34:35] Speaker I: then I think I'll go with 1810.
[00:34:40] Speaker B: 1810.
Just in time, like, for the war of 1812.
[00:34:48] Speaker K: Yeah.
[00:34:48] Speaker B: Hey, we got a war coming up in a couple of years. We better get some kind of a wooden ship there.
Yeah, put the boat out there. Let's get a boat.
[00:34:56] Speaker I: Yeah. You know, if we put some iron on, we can call it iron size.
[00:35:00] Speaker B: Iron size. Old Ironside. All right. Trash. Yeah, that's right.
[00:35:05] Speaker C: I thought the series came out first before the ship.
[00:35:08] Speaker H: Put some wheels on it.
[00:35:14] Speaker B: Jack, what do you say besides bad jokes?
[00:35:18] Speaker H: Well, you get me stuck.
1801.
[00:35:24] Speaker B: I hope that wasn't a sick reference. Yeah, that was a secret. Let's not even elaborate on it. Maybe he didn't mean that.
[00:35:30] Speaker H: No, I didn't mean that at all.
[00:35:32] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:35:32] Speaker I: No, the man is dead.
[00:35:33] Speaker H: You said. You said, do I do anything but bad jokes? And, you know, you asked for an answer, and, you know, if I only do bad jokes, then I don't know if I could have given an answer.
[00:35:46] Speaker B: I see.
Mike, what do you say? Old Ironsay. When. When was. When was she launched?
[00:35:54] Speaker D: What did you say? 1810? Yeah, I'm gonna go 18. How about 1824?
[00:36:02] Speaker B: How about 1824?
Okay. And what do you say, Tony?
[00:36:08] Speaker C: 1792?
[00:36:09] Speaker B: 1790.
[00:36:11] Speaker D: I was gonna go in the 1700.
[00:36:12] Speaker B: Yeah, because I. I think it celebrated
[00:36:15] Speaker C: its 200th anniversary last year.
[00:36:17] Speaker P: Yeah.
[00:36:17] Speaker B: I think you're right on the year
[00:36:19] Speaker C: before, or it's going to next year or something like that there.
[00:36:22] Speaker D: Is it being refurbished?
[00:36:23] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:36:24] Speaker C: Is it 1794? Because it's re being refurbished and ready for next year's 200th anniversary.
[00:36:29] Speaker B: Okay. The actual year was 1797. So you're not. You close. You. You were within five years.
However, Jack Hard had 18:1. So he was within four years.
[00:36:39] Speaker C: I change it to 1794. I wanted to change it.
[00:36:42] Speaker B: Well, we'll see. Now he just edged out by.
But in a sense.
[00:36:47] Speaker C: Well, at least I. Yeah, that part
[00:36:49] Speaker B: of history I remembered that was very good.
[00:36:51] Speaker C: Still have my pride intact.
A little wounded, but considering I was only 52 years off the invention of the light bulb.
[00:37:00] Speaker I: Let's just say that, you know, your pride before was whimpering on the ground.
[00:37:05] Speaker B: It's gotten up and walked around a little bit.
Okay. This was the year, and it was on this very date, October 21st, that John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon clashed in their fourth and final presidential debate, which was televised. New York. This is. They had the whole series. And this was the last debate happened on this very date.
I wonder why we didn't have a question on their first debate.
[00:37:35] Speaker C: Yeah, that would have been.
[00:37:36] Speaker B: Yeah, they probably had nothing else to fill in this date. Probably not too many birthdays and not many happiness.
They said, hold that. Let's put it on for the last. Because we've got nothing else except the invention of the first bulb and the launching of the USS Constitution and the man who went over Niagara Falls in a folding beach chair.
And that doesn't somehow make things look too good. And what is he talking about now? I have no idea. I'm sitting here, my mouth is open, and even I'm not listening.
[00:38:06] Speaker C: It's amazing to watch.
[00:38:08] Speaker B: It really is.
[00:38:10] Speaker I: Teddy bears talk. Because maybe then they could get it.
[00:38:13] Speaker H: I don't know.
[00:38:13] Speaker B: I think there's somebody off.
Somebody in one of the offices is pressing a button that's forcing me to move my mouth.
[00:38:20] Speaker C: Yeah, you have to look at Norman, seeing his eyes, that he wants to stop. And his eyes are white.
[00:38:25] Speaker K: He's like.
[00:38:25] Speaker C: I don't know what I'm saying.
[00:38:26] Speaker B: I can't stop talking.
[00:38:28] Speaker C: My mind is telling me to stop, but my mouth is running separately.
[00:38:31] Speaker G: It's.
[00:38:32] Speaker B: It's a disease.
It's so terrifying sometimes.
Oh, stop me before I kill.
[00:38:39] Speaker I: Anyway, Kennedy, that's too late.
[00:38:42] Speaker B: Kennedy, Nixon, what year was that debate? And we'll start with you, Mike.
Mike Epstein, ladies and gentlemen.
[00:38:50] Speaker D: Norm, I want to make one thing perfectly clear.
[00:38:54] Speaker C: That is going to be the worst.
[00:38:57] Speaker I: Wonderful. We would.
[00:38:58] Speaker B: If we hadn't come across this day, we would have never known that Mike Epstein does the worst Richard Nixon of anybody ever in the entire broadcast city.
[00:39:08] Speaker I: Well, at least he's not a crook.
[00:39:10] Speaker B: Oh, come on, Raj. We expect more from MIT students than that.
[00:39:15] Speaker H: I didn't go to college.
[00:39:17] Speaker D: Would that have been 1960?
[00:39:20] Speaker B: 1960, you said in the form of a question.
[00:39:23] Speaker D: Yes.
[00:39:24] Speaker B: That's good. Would that have been. We'll put down 1960 like he made it in the form of a. A statement.
Just like that. Yes, yes.
Jack, what year do you say
[00:39:37] Speaker H: 1960?
[00:39:38] Speaker B: 1960.
[00:39:39] Speaker D: Also, I've started a trend.
[00:39:45] Speaker B: And Tony, what do you say?
[00:39:47] Speaker C: Well, I could go along with this just so I could get one point only if Raj would agree with it, too.
Or I could say 1959.
[00:39:56] Speaker I: So what are you going to do?
[00:39:58] Speaker C: I'm gonna say 59 for some strange reason.
[00:40:00] Speaker B: Good for you as an individual.
[00:40:03] Speaker C: Yeah, you know why? Because I know my own mind.
[00:40:06] Speaker B: You do know your own mind.
[00:40:07] Speaker C: A little bit that's left.
[00:40:09] Speaker B: And it's okay. Rise. What do you say? What? What year do you think it was?
[00:40:14] Speaker I: Well, I. I need a new farm. Farm stand finger C. So I'm gonna say 1960.
[00:40:19] Speaker B: 1960. I see you had changed my answer.
You want to change your answer?
You want to change it to 1960?
Okay.
[00:40:30] Speaker C: No, no.
[00:40:32] Speaker B: Did you really want to change it?
[00:40:33] Speaker C: Well, then I'll be guaranteed a point. I'd like to get at least one in this game.
[00:40:36] Speaker B: Okay.
1960 is absolutely 60.
[00:40:41] Speaker C: I thought. I thought he was 60. He took office. That's why I thought maybe 59 might
[00:40:46] Speaker B: have been the last debate.
[00:40:47] Speaker D: No, he took office in 61.
[00:40:49] Speaker H: Was it 61?
[00:40:50] Speaker J: 68.
[00:40:53] Speaker B: The election obviously was in 90. 60. He took office 61.
[00:40:56] Speaker H: Because they always take office on the odd year.
[00:40:59] Speaker C: That's right.
[00:41:00] Speaker B: Yes. Election is the year.
[00:41:02] Speaker C: Well, luckily I.
[00:41:05] Speaker B: Okay, so here the final tally. Now, Jack Hart has seven. Five correct answers out of six.
Well, at least the closest of anybody. Five out of six.
And the rest of you, a bunch of bums.
[00:41:20] Speaker C: Jack's been tearing up up the place.
[00:41:22] Speaker B: Raji Raja, who just entered the game, has two correct answers.
That's right. Mike and Tony, you've got every right
[00:41:31] Speaker C: to be 10 minutes. We've been playing for 50 and you
[00:41:35] Speaker B: got one a piece.
[00:41:35] Speaker C: I mean, I got one by changing an answer at the end just to get one.
[00:41:41] Speaker I: A second thought, maybe you should give them the farm head finger.
[00:41:48] Speaker B: Okay, I want to thank you all for playing the game.
[00:41:51] Speaker I: You're welcome, Norm. Was it good for you?
[00:41:54] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. I don't even have strength. I don't even have strength enough to tear up the paper.
I never been so tired my whole life.
But anyway, I thank you all for playing the game. Raj, you're always. It's so. It's always fun to talk with you. Except today hasn't been too much fun.
[00:42:13] Speaker I: Well, it's always. It's always good to talk to you and.
Well, when I heard the disaster. I'm sorry. When I heard that what was going on on the radio before. Before 3:30, I said I must call. Call now.
[00:42:25] Speaker B: Before 3:30. Yeah, I see.
[00:42:29] Speaker H: I guess it's been bad for a while.
[00:42:30] Speaker B: Oh, before 3:30, that was still the dumb birthday game.
[00:42:33] Speaker I: Yeah, that's right.
[00:42:34] Speaker B: Okay. Things going well in school? Because, you know, as you're kind of your adopted dad here, I want to
[00:42:40] Speaker C: know, like, you really care.
[00:42:44] Speaker B: I do. I do really care, Norm.
[00:42:46] Speaker I: Why did you have the adopted part?
[00:42:49] Speaker B: But I didn't know how else to phrase it.
[00:42:50] Speaker C: You see, Raj is making.
[00:42:52] Speaker B: Are you implying.
Revelation. Oh, I see. I see.
[00:42:57] Speaker I: No, no, everything's going fine. I really got reamed on an exam today, but other than that.
[00:43:02] Speaker B: Okay. What now? What do you know?
[00:43:05] Speaker I: I'm a junior.
[00:43:06] Speaker B: Son of a gun.
[00:43:08] Speaker D: What are you studying over there?
[00:43:09] Speaker B: What are you majoring in?
[00:43:10] Speaker C: Economics at mit? Yeah, what a waste, huh?
[00:43:14] Speaker I: Hey, hey, hey, hey.
[00:43:15] Speaker C: Aren't you supposed to study some kind of.
Yeah, some kind of machine. Some kind of science, you know, what the.
[00:43:21] Speaker B: Harvard for Economics.
[00:43:23] Speaker I: Well, you are, but. Yeah, I suppose that's why I'm calling you at 350.
[00:43:30] Speaker B: Nothing. Nothing has ever worked out for you, Dad.
[00:43:34] Speaker I: I only have one request, though. Getting some money. So check. Will do.
[00:43:40] Speaker B: I say, if I'm your adopted dad, you think I'm responsible for that too, huh?
[00:43:44] Speaker I: Yeah, otherwise you end up on the deadbeat dad list.
[00:43:47] Speaker B: Okay. Hey, Rog, nice to talk with you. Good to talk to you, Norm.
[00:43:50] Speaker D: Take care.
[00:43:50] Speaker B: Take care.
[00:43:51] Speaker G: You too.
[00:43:51] Speaker C: Yeah, get rid of him.
[00:43:52] Speaker F: Okay.
[00:43:52] Speaker B: Yeah, get rid of the kid. When he starts asking for money, get rid of him.
And, Jack, yes, I'm gonna get rid of you just on general principles. I can't remember why, because I'm just so tired. Anyway, thanks very much for all your support and help and.
And I hope that next Tuesday the fruition of our campaign will end in success.
That was beautiful. Somebody's pressing the button again. And my mouth is opening, saying things that I don't even know what I'm saying. Anyway, we'll catch a traffic report for you if you're not too tired. I'm not too tired to bring you on.
[00:44:28] Speaker I: Oh.
[00:44:31] Speaker B: Oh, yes.
[00:44:32] Speaker D: I'm gonna go back and answer a couple of phones. Are they ringing?
[00:44:35] Speaker B: No, but, but, but why wait till the last minute?
[00:44:38] Speaker I: Exactly.
[00:44:41] Speaker B: Hey, Mike. Thank you very much for your contribution to this world game.
[00:44:45] Speaker I: You're very welcome.
[00:44:46] Speaker B: And yours too, Tony.
[00:44:47] Speaker C: Dad, I was wondering if you could send me some money. I need some cash.
[00:44:54] Speaker B: Really, I'm in a hurry. Huh.
[00:44:55] Speaker P: Does your baby suffer from red irritated diaper rash?
[00:44:59] Speaker E: It started as a little rash. It's just red and like prickly. Like a heat rash. I feel bad.
[00:45:06] Speaker P: Then Louise Fallon of Brooklyn, New York discovered Baby Gold Bond Medicated Powder.
[00:45:11] Speaker E: Now all I use is the Baby Gold Bond. I think it's the best powder that you could use. I don't use it just for rash. I use it every diaper change.
[00:45:21] Speaker P: Baby Gold Bond combines zinc oxide with the finest talcum powder to relieve baby's red, irritated skin and actually helps prevent diaper rash. With ingredients medical experts recognize as both safe and effective, including a skin protecting medication ordinary baby powders don't have.
[00:45:37] Speaker E: It helped the rash and I use it as a preventative. It's like a. A shield that he doesn't stay wet.
[00:45:45] Speaker I: Really?
[00:45:45] Speaker E: He hardly gets rashes anymore. He loves Baby Gold Bond.
[00:45:49] Speaker P: Baby Gold Bond Medicated Powder does more for diaper rash than ordinary baby powders. Use only as directed. Available at all Walgreens stores.

Yeah. What day is it? Is it still the same day? I don't know. I'm sorry. Okay, let me check the WBC AccuWeather forecast here. That'd be kind of fun, wouldn't it?
[00:47:22] Speaker K: Yeah.
[00:47:23] Speaker B: Yeah, that'd be kind of fun. The extended WBC AccuWeather forecast from meteorologist Dave Ryan.
Overnight and into the morning be damp with a bit of rain drizzle, areas of dense fog. Temperatures holding steady.
Mostly cloudy, windy and milder by Thursday. This coming afternoon and evening with showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Highs during the coming day, about 84 degrees.
Thursday night will be windy.
I'm sorry, there's a question about 80. Yeah, that's right. That's right. Highs Thursday, 84. That's unusually warm, isn't it? You know, after a while you read these things without even listening to yourself, but highs Thursday, 84 degrees.
[00:48:07] Speaker C: What?
[00:48:07] Speaker L: It says.
[00:48:07] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:48:09] Speaker H: Gee willikers.
[00:48:11] Speaker G: Wow.
[00:48:12] Speaker B: Golly.
[00:48:13] Speaker C: I'm really shocked by that.
[00:48:14] Speaker B: No, that is. That is. That is. That is really. That is really terribly wild. We're analyzing this thing as though.
[00:48:23] Speaker C: I have a feeling there's a mistake.
[00:48:25] Speaker I: Okay.
[00:48:26] Speaker B: Thursday night will be windy with partial clearing lows of about 50.
Friday, mostly sunny with a strong gusty wind.
Highs near 60.
And sunny and cool on Saturday with highs about 56.
[00:48:40] Speaker C: But you're getting suntans on Thursday and then bundling back up on Friday. Is that what you're trying to say?
[00:48:45] Speaker B: That's what this seems to indicate. Yeah, I know.
[00:48:47] Speaker C: I'm sorry.
[00:48:48] Speaker B: Yelling at you about it.
We're doing an instant analysis of the weather.
[00:48:53] Speaker C: But we should make it a feature of the show. Then again, maybe not.
[00:48:57] Speaker B: Maybe not.
Okay. And for those of you who missed out on the game, somebody said it looks like a.
A B game. A spring training B game. You won the World Series.
And the highest scoring postseason matchup ever ran four hours, 14min. Its longest game in world history.
Toronto beat Philadelphia 15 to 14 on a really nutty night. And they now lead in the series three games to one and move within a game of their second straight championship.
[00:49:34] Speaker C: Excuse me, Mr. Nathan.
[00:49:35] Speaker B: Yes?
[00:49:36] Speaker C: You said we were going to analyze this inning by inning, pitch by pitch, earlier in the show.
[00:49:39] Speaker A: Yes, I did.
[00:49:40] Speaker B: I did say that.
[00:49:41] Speaker C: Am I taking time to do that now?
[00:49:42] Speaker B: I don't think so, no.
[00:49:44] Speaker C: Just want you to do on the check.
[00:49:45] Speaker B: I just said that it was to fill up a few seconds before the news came on.
So I made that up. I often say that.
I'd say I got 10 seconds. It's not enough time to do a weather and it's too long to do something else. So I say we'll examine that a
[00:49:59] Speaker H: little bit later on.
[00:50:00] Speaker B: That takes about 10 seconds. But I have no intention of following up on any of that stuff.
[00:50:05] Speaker C: You're so humble. You gave away one of the big trade secrets, one of your huge trade secrets and you just.
[00:50:13] Speaker B: Is it time for the news yet?
[00:50:15] Speaker C: Stall some more. We'll examine that.
[00:50:17] Speaker B: Could you call abc, ask them if they'll start the news maybe a couple of minutes early, just as one, because anyway, in any event, I'd love very much to talk with you. 2, 5, 4, 10:30, area code 617. Maybe we can call somebody at 4. Maybe we can call one of those guest houses in Ireland or the subway station in England or something. Something of that nature. That'd be kind of fun.
[00:50:40] Speaker C: Only we have the numbers.
[00:50:41] Speaker B: We don't have the numbers with us.
[00:50:43] Speaker C: With me?
[00:50:43] Speaker B: No, not. Not with.
Are they in your car? No, they're not in Utah. They're at home. Can you get to your house and back here within the next five or ten minutes?
[00:50:54] Speaker C: Well, I can get home and make a phone and call you.
I can get home and call you with some numbers.
[00:50:59] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:51:00] Speaker C: Can you. Could you examine something a little for about like 20 minutes, but so I can get home?
[00:51:05] Speaker B: I don't think so. Oh no.
[00:51:07] Speaker C: Maybe ABC can go a little long with the news.
[00:51:09] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:51:10] Speaker I: Yeah.
[00:51:11] Speaker B: Or maybe Gary Lapierre can come in and start the 5 o' clock news at 4 o'. Clock.
[00:51:15] Speaker C: Why not?
What do you say?
[00:51:18] Speaker B: Anyway, anyway, we'll take some more phone calls. 2, 5, 4, 10, 30, area code 617.
I can't imagine what this program sounds like today. Doesn't sound like it's really going to pot.
I'll bet. I'll bet you Bob Rollie never takes another day off in the middle of the week and never will do that every ever again. And management will see to it that he doesn't do that. Anyway, he's off today and that's why I'm hanging around Funfetting. And anyways, coming up to news time. Thank God for that.
If I feel like it, I'll be back.
[00:51:53] Speaker H: Depend on traffic on the threes from the WBZ Traffic Network during your commute home. Your first source for Traffic News Radio 1033 WBZ Boston.
[00:52:09] Speaker A: How we all weren't committed after that show, I'll never know. Keep this episode on hand and listen often as we are entering cold and flu season and laughter is the best medicine. Closing the vault and definitely leaving this world a little sillier than we found it. 4 winning 7 out of every 10 games for that.690 percentage.
