Norm Nathan’s Vault of Silliness w/Tony Nesbitt - Ep 268 - Confusion, Consternation and Competition

As we close out 2025, I want to thank our listeners, subscribers and supporters. I’m so very appreciative of all your support. And if you’re wondering, “How can I support this wildly entertaining rebroadcast podcast?” You can join Patreon where I post exclusive content and episode previews and other silliness. Buy Me a Coffee is a great way to do so as well. It’s kind of like a tip jar but I’ve added monthly support categories where, if you choose, you’ll receive a special certificate when you choose an option. I’m tellin’ ya, this is heady stuff! I am trying to save enough to make a decent donation to the Norm Nathan Scholarship Fund at the Berklee College of Music here in Boston. It’s a slow process so if you need a reason to help that’s one of my goals. Links are always in the bio and, on occasion, I even include them here at the end of this opening. We also close out the year with FIVE, count em, FIVE new countries to appear on the World Silliness Meter: Hola, ¿cómo estás? (Hello, how are you?) to Bolivia and Panama, “გამარჯობა” (pronounced gamarjoba) to Georgia, “Salemetsiz be” to Kazakhstan and “Marhaba” to the UAE! I’m just so darn pleased! Soooooo, what do we have today? We have a SMQ from December 28th, 1995, which is titled: Confusion, Consternation and Competition Norm was filling in for Bob Raleigh with Mike Epstein producing The Rules: God help us… Three rounds – we ask, you answer correctly, 2nd round, if wrong, you’re gone / 2nd round, you ask, we get it right, you’re outta here / if we get it wrong you move to the 3rd round where we ask another question, you get it right you win, you don’t and you’re gone. And, for the love of all things holy, have a question ready to ask us All of that to win a Misspelled Certificate of Award with funny jokes.

Norm Nathan’s Vault of Silliness w/Tony Nesbitt - Ep 267 - A Merry Ol’ Broadcast

This here broadcast is filled with stories. Whether from our guest or all the callers. It’s a good one to entertain you as do some last-minute shopping. By the date on the cassette, it’s all from December 23rd, 1995, but there’s some peepers talk later in the show so we may have a splash of Spring,  1996? Even if that’s the case the title shall be: A Merry Ol’ Broadcast The Guest that night was Theresa Rice Engels author of “Just Before Christmas: Children’s Stories to Read Aloud.” Norm couldn’t find the copy of the book but begged for mercy. The guest was delightful and was a great one to have on just before Christmas. She reads a story so you might want to get a hot cocoa or toddy and curl up by your audio broadcast device and enjoy. Callers: We have a few callers where we know the name Janet Gilly Marie Monica Harriet from Quincy Maryann in Danvers Fred from Medford or… John in Somerville David and at least 10+ calls where we don’t Check out the links below for ways to support the show.
