from Norm Nathan's Vault of Silliness with Tony Nesbitt · host Tony Nesbitt
We begin Year 2 of Norm Nathan’s Vault of Silliness with a Dumb Birthday game from November 2nd, 1991. I am calling this one The Rift since Norm is hating on me, right from the start. So much so that I stop talking to him and have Jack relay my answers to Norm. Besides the palpable displeasure with me there’s lots of good stuff in this one. Players: Stacy from Boston Steve the Wrestler from Melrose Kristin from Dorchester Scott from Peabody Tony producing and on the phone from the control room Jack Harte from the Pru Bdays with all the music and sfx: Burt Lancaster Ray Walston Pat Buchanan – and Norm doesn’t hold back The adjective rich Stephanie Powers from Haahht to Haahht 11/4 Walter Cronkite Art Carney 11/5 Tatum O’Neal Back to 11/4 The adjective laden Loretta Swit – Jack adds some very interesting info Do we actually hear the age 76 guessed without saying “That’s the Spirit?” A 55 without “That’s the limit?” A 66 without “That’s the route?” A 77 without “That’s the Strip?” You’ll have to break out your stat sheet and keep track at home. After the game we are entertained by the following: Some Bottom of the hour news with Norm (10 minutes or so late) Traffic with Jack Accuwx with Norm Caller: Randy ‘The Macho Man’ Savage He said he heard that Norm went out as him for Halloween because he went out as Norm.
