Norm Nathan's Vault of Silliness w/Tony Nesbitt - Ep 38
from Norm Nathan's Vault of Silliness with Tony Nesbitt · host Tony Nesbitt
So nice to have you back here for another show. We venture ahead in the calendar a whole day from the previous episode for a DBG from May 24th, 1992. We also learn that it’s the anniversary of Norm’s first professional, PAID broadcasting assignment! You’ll have to wait to find out what year it was! From those humble beginnings to hosting weekend, overnight radio. Playing dumb games and calling phone booths around the world where nobody answers. It truly was the apex of Norm’s radio career. Make sure you play along at home too. Trying to guess the ages people were then, 29 years ago, adds another level of complexity. One day I may just have to do a live stream of a game, invite some guests and guess all over again. Let me work on that. And let me know what you think in the comment section. Our players are: Jimmy from Winthrop Don from Melrose – 1st time player Donna from Norwood – 1st time player & it’s her bday. Marian in Chatham – 1st time player and it’s her bday too! I’m producing, and on the phone LOU AMBROSINO in traffic Birthdays with SFX! Bob Dylan Gary Burghoff Pricilla Presley Roseanne Cash Patti LaBelle Events in History First Major League Baseball game played at night? What year did the Brooklyn Bridge open? Samuel F.B. Morse (never trust a man with TWO middle initials) Transmitted the first telegraph message Do you know what it was? Stay tuned for that too! Post Game: Norm’s alone now…peepers from the bogs playing. Is that a dead body? A muddy hand rises from the bog…a face that… Accuwx guitar accompaniment by Gladys Potklubdnik A couple of calls: Marilyn and Ruth We close with a quick sports update. Happy Radio Anniversary Norm!
