This episode of Norm Nathan’s Vault of Silliness has a little something for everyone. It hails from October 16th, 1996.

Norm is in for Bob Raliegh for the Columbus Day holiday.

I’m calling this episode: Radio Digressions

We begin with a Dumb Birthday Game.

The Players:

I'm on the phone and opening mail

Mike Epstein producing and in studio

Jack Harte

We were having so much fun talking before we finish the player introductions:

Norm talks about trepidation in having to read bra commercials.

He tells a great story about growing up in Everett.

I ask an important question.

And THEN it’s back to the other players:

Jack in Ottawa

Justin in Roslindale

Bdays:

Angela Lansbury

Tim Robbins – and we go off on a Tony Robbins tangent

Suzanne Somers

Jack and Tony sing the Three’s Company theme!

David Zucker

Barry Corbin

Norm’s grandfather makes an appearance sipping some ‘gluz tai.’

Mike wants to take a break to air some bladder control commercials (which we don’t have here)

And Norm teases the The Gary Lapierre Show?

We then take a tertiary road and enjoy some commercials.

I love hearing old commercials. I hope you do too because we have a wagon load of ‘em.

They come to us from WSRS and the voice you hear between them as well as with the weather forecast is Moneen Daly.
