It's night Side with Dan Ray on WBS Boston's new video.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Oh my goodness, what a welcome Suzanne. Can you still hear? Yes?
I can. I was just thinking back twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen,
we had the building to ourselves on Saturday night. Yeah,
and those were the days good.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Yeah, it seems like a very long time ago.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I hope you had a very happy day today, I did.
I want you to remember these words. Twenty twenty five
will be your best year ever. Oh wow, well I'm
pretty excited. I'm pretty hopeful for that.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Actually, I wish you the best, and I'll be listening
on the way home.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
You can't your drive carefully please? Okay, Okay, there goes
Suzanne Saws. And I'm here till midnight for the first
two hours to do the thing that kind of made
me famous, doing trivia. I have fifty questions about Christmas
(01:09):
and Hanukah, and for the most part, they're all easy
call in answer one, no prize. You don't win anything
except my admiration for playing. And let me say this,
I've been here since Monday. I did night Side Monday,
(01:30):
I did my night Side last night. I'm here tonight obviously,
and I'll be here Thursday, Friday, Monday, Tuesday fill in
for Danrey, who's on a much earned vacation. If you
called on Monday or Tuesday or even my Saturday show,
(01:54):
you have my permission to call again to play trivia. Okay,
you know the rule about not calling more than once
a week, Well we'll forego that. It's kind of a
Christmas gift to those that did call in. I want
to read ten questions to start off, and we'll do
this until ten o'clock. At ten o'clock, Donna Halper will
(02:17):
be here and she and I have something special plans
for all of you, and I'm going to tell you
this tomorrow Ladies' Night. All my guests at eight, at nine,
and ten and eleven are women who are newsmakers on
(02:38):
BZ Trophy, and Docca will be here call for action.
She'll talk about some of her more memorable cases where
she saved people like you problems when they called in
to say, Cheryl help. And then Cindy Bruce and she
(03:01):
has a dog refuge and she ships dogs all over
the country to need a good home. We'll talk to
her about that project. So I've not had either of
those women on before. People always say, oh Morgan, it's nice.
We guess the same old guests on all those first
(03:24):
two guests, it will be their first time with me
on BZ. The Empress of Entertainment. I gave her that
nickname and it's starting to catch on. Joyce Kole Hawick
will be here and she'll talk about all the holiday
movies and this Christmas there are a lot of them,
more than usual. And a woman I've had on before,
(03:49):
Susan Brigman. She wrote a book about candlepin bowling. She
wrote a book about standout locations on Route one, and
now she's just finished a book about candy in New England,
No ribbon candy and the Wallyco Bar and legendary candy.

It's been done by Madonna. But who sang it originally?
And what gift is the largest gift in size given
(06:10):
from Country A to Country B for Christmas? I'm not
talking land. I'm talking a man made object. Now, if
you think you know any of those six one, seven, two, five, four, ten,
thirty eight, eight, eight, nine, two, nine, ten thirty I
wanted to do something light and at sunset Haniker began,
(06:38):
and at midnight Christmas began and now all the wrapping
papers scattered over the floor and their dishes in the sink,
and the day has reached its end. So I wanted
to do something simple and fun for all of the
night Side listeners. And again, Dan Ray is not going
(07:02):
to be here until next Wednesday, the first of July,
the beginning of twenty twenty five. I am here until then,

informed and entertained, and so they always try to do
when I have a bsy microphone in front of me.
(07:26):

what is your last name? Cantano? Dan Cantano is my producer. Tonight,
be polite to him, please, I would appreciate you treating
him with the same respect you treat Rob. When Rob

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Was it Mel Sermons?
Speaker 6 (11:28):
It could have been? Okay, yeah, that was years ago.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Both Mel and I would have done for a caller.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
Well on, it must have been you two. I know
it was you, all right?
Speaker 2 (11:42):

You're very welcome. So which trivia question do you want
to answer?
Speaker 6 (12:19):
The first one? You mentioned about fant baby, who sang it?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Who sang it? The first time in nineteen fifty three?
Speaker 6 (12:30):
Earth a Kid?
Speaker 2 (12:31):
That's the right answer, you know, well you're old enough
to remember that. I'm guessing I like it Madonna's version,
But Madonna had the kind of naughty itt up a bit,
and I kind of like the way Earth the Kids
sang it.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
I don't recall ever hearing her singing that, but earth
a Kid I definitely remember.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
All right, Well, very good for you remembering that, and
thank you for giving me a call.

elf and the claymation Rudolph the elf that wanted to
be a dentist? What former department store in Boston was
(13:33):
home to the enchanted village roughly nineteen fifty nine into
the early seventies. What now classic tune was introduced by
Charlie Brown's Christmas Do Do Do Do Do Do Do
Do Do Do Do do. It has a name, and
(13:55):
the name definitely does not remind you of Christmas. But
if if you know, that's a trivia question I've thrown
out there for you. Let's go to San Francisco and
talk to David. David, good evening, good evening.
Speaker 7 (14:11):

regular callers. Her name is Florence, Yes, and I think

the President and she claimed to be a descendant of
Franklin Pierce. Do you remember that?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Yes, she did. I remember that.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
Well. Another descendant of a great granddaughter Franklin Pierce is
a lady named Barbara Pierce, also known to us as
Barbara Bush. That I have heard that, Yeah, and so
that means that Florence is related to Barbara Bush.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Okay, indirectly. That line is a straight line from person
A the person B. There's a lot of that in
her history.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
But I just hope she's listening as made aware of that.
But anyhow, one more question. When are you gonna have
Bradley today on Friday? Friday? Okay, I'll be I'll be
waiting and I.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
All right, I'm going to finish off the questions I
have on this sheet, and that will lead us into
a break. I am sure. Let's see, where does the
Boston Christmas Tree come from? A community that's not in
the United States. They send it to us, and it's
(26:30):
a story behind that. But from where? Number of reindeer
without Rudolph? How many reindeer are there without Rudolph? The
chuck Berry Christmas Classic was what what magazine product created
(26:52):
our image of Santa You know, Santa Claus in the
minds of people back in the eighteen hundreds into the
nineteen hundreds was an elf. He looked like an elf.
But it was this magazine ad by this company that
gave us the Mardern image rather rotan gentlemen, red suit,
(27:15):
white fur line, big white beard, big black boots. You
know Santa? What company helped us have that image of
Santa in our minds? And I think I did this.
How many spirits visited Scrooge that night? How many total spirits?
(27:38):
Just a simple number we'll do. And if you want
to call in six thirty or eight, eight, eight, nine, two, nine,
ten thirty, you are more than welcome to and get
an answer. Right, you don't win anything, but you get
a gold star for your forehead. You supply the gold
(28:00):
star because I don't give away prizes on BZ anymore.
I used to, but an order came down from somebody,
one of the people who can make decisions on the station,
and I had to stop giving away prizes. All of
us did. Dan did. Dan's been able to give away
(28:24):
some prizes recently within the past three months or so.
But I don't have the same power that Dan Ray does.
So now you know, and let's take a break. When
you come back, we have a caller online and we'll
find out who that is after these messages. Time and
(28:46):
temperature eight forty four and twenty nine degrees.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Now back to Dan Ray line from the window world
Light six two years on WBZ.

what it should be. This is Nightside. I am Morgan.
Dan is off for the next for the rest of
the year, he's off, but he'll be back next Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
Know, yeah, great, great loves. What's called temptation treats. Oh yeah,
we nicknamed them Trito's and we keep them in a
little container. And he goes up on the table, yeah
and pause at them, and sometimes I think he wishes
(30:20):
he could open them himself, negator of Nancy or myself
opening them.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
We take out three at the time and give them to.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Him, and he he knows, he.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Hoovers them in, choose them, and then next thing you know,
he's pawing the container for more.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
Yeah, oh gosh, he is my guys here tonight I
can say Merry Christmas.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
You know, I don't know if Jack Carter is doing traffic.
I'll have to wait till nine o'clock to find out.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Yeah, because I just turned it on a very short
while ago when my rest of company list. Yeah, but
I know I know about the tree. Okay, tell me
(31:16):
the tree came from Nova Scotia, exactly where my grandmother
came from.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Okay, question one, let me read that question.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Where is my grandma? Grandma was? Yeah, my grandma was
from Nova.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Scotia and that's the right answer.
Speaker 10 (31:36):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
And I looked it up in my phone to get
a look at it and all lit up and they
said there was something like five thousand lights on it. Wow,
it was quite spectacular to look at. Yeah. Really, Yeah,
(32:01):
you can look it up. You can go into Google
as to see it.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
And the day they put it up and lit it up,
it was on I think Channel five news and I
saw it.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Okay, good. Yeah, So yeah, I had that any lights,
and that's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
I think the tree in New York, in the New
York City tree right center has more lights than.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
That it does. And it's taller. Okay. That was seventy
four feet, I think, and the one from Nova Scotia
was like forty five feet, and the one in New York.
A quick, quick little note about it. That came from
(32:56):
a farm here, okay, gentlemen. Yeah, the gentleman that sent
it there after it went on to New York, he
had his stroke and they said he was hoping he
would survive and he wanted to be able to see
(33:17):
his tree all live up. So I didn't hear any
more about him, but I hope he survived.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Let's cross our fingers. Yeah, all right, Well I want
you to have a great rest of your holiday in

Speaker 2 (36:31):
But maybe he wanted to be a dentist.
Speaker 10 (36:35):
He wanted to be a dentist. But I think you
have the chipmunks one because she asked me.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
Oh okay, bye bye.
Speaker 5 (37:19):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
He was about to say half a happy New Year,
and Nancy was quick on the drawer. See Nancy. Once
the call is finished, she pushes a button and they
go away. And sometimes her fingers are too fast, bad
finger bad, No matter what you I'm sorry. That was
a song cue from the seventies. I have about a
(37:43):
minute and a half and that's not enough time to
take a call. And besides, I have no more calls.
So if you want to call during the news six one, seven, four,
ten thirty or eight eight, eight, nine, two nine, ten thirty,
you should know that ten thirty part. And let me
(38:07):
throw two more questions to run up to the out time.
Will Farrell was an overgrown Santa's helper in What Movie
the Cowboy? Who sang Rudolph the original first time? They
are famous for their red donation kettles during the Christmas season,
(38:32):
Irving Berlin's holiday classic We All Know It, Name It?
He was the grinchest dog. What was Rudolph's girlfriend? The
traditional snack that people leave out for Santa? Billy Bob
Thornton's anti Christmas film and where does Santa Live, the
(39:00):
generic name of that area. Answer any of those. You
put a smile on my face. That's all I want
you to do. We're having fun. That'll be until ten
o'clock and next hour, Donna Helper will be joining me.
So time and temperature now eight fifty eight. Let me
(39:21):
double check twenty nine degrees
It's night Side with Dan Ray on WBS Boston's new video.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Oh my goodness, what a welcome Suzanne. Can you still hear? Yes?
I can. I was just thinking back twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen,
we had the building to ourselves on Saturday night. Yeah,
and those were the days good.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Yeah, it seems like a very long time ago.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I hope you had a very happy day today, I did.
I want you to remember these words. Twenty twenty five
will be your best year ever. Oh wow, well I'm
pretty excited. I'm pretty hopeful for that.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Actually, I wish you the best, and I'll be listening
on the way home.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
You can't your drive carefully please? Okay, Okay, there goes
Suzanne Saws. And I'm here till midnight for the first
two hours to do the thing that kind of made
me famous, doing trivia. I have fifty questions about Christmas
(01:09):
and Hanukah, and for the most part, they're all easy
call in answer one, no prize. You don't win anything
except my admiration for playing. And let me say this,
I've been here since Monday. I did night Side Monday,
(01:30):
I did my night Side last night. I'm here tonight obviously,
and I'll be here Thursday, Friday, Monday, Tuesday fill in
for Danrey, who's on a much earned vacation. If you
called on Monday or Tuesday or even my Saturday show,
(01:54):
you have my permission to call again to play trivia. Okay,
you know the rule about not calling more than once
a week, Well we'll forego that. It's kind of a
Christmas gift to those that did call in. I want
to read ten questions to start off, and we'll do
this until ten o'clock. At ten o'clock, Donna Halper will
(02:17):
be here and she and I have something special plans
for all of you, and I'm going to tell you
this tomorrow Ladies' Night. All my guests at eight, at nine,
and ten and eleven are women who are newsmakers on
(02:38):
BZ Trophy, and Docca will be here call for action.
She'll talk about some of her more memorable cases where
she saved people like you problems when they called in
to say, Cheryl help. And then Cindy Bruce and she
(03:01):
has a dog refuge and she ships dogs all over
the country to need a good home. We'll talk to
her about that project. So I've not had either of
those women on before. People always say, oh Morgan, it's nice.
We guess the same old guests on all those first
(03:24):
two guests, it will be their first time with me
on BZ. The Empress of Entertainment. I gave her that
nickname and it's starting to catch on. Joyce Kole Hawick
will be here and she'll talk about all the holiday
movies and this Christmas there are a lot of them,
more than usual. And a woman I've had on before,
(03:49):
Susan Brigman. She wrote a book about candlepin bowling. She
wrote a book about standout locations on Route one, and
now she's just finished a book about candy in New England,
No ribbon candy and the Wallyco Bar and legendary candy.
So Ladies' night with me here on nights Side tomorrow.
(04:13):
But for now I'm gonna read ten of these six one, seven, two, five, four,
ten thirty or eight eight, eight, nine, two, nine, ten

for bragging rights, okay, Keeper of time. In the Little
(04:34):
Drummer Boy bar, rum Bum bum bum, what Cereal used
to come out during the holidays and only, and they
obviously made a change in their perspective, the Cereal Company,
and now it's just there every day of the year.
Santa and the Green Giant said the same line. What phrase,
(05:01):
where do the els build the toys? Two words? Disney's

of them? Who came back to life one day by
adding a silk hat? Why does snooze? I knew that?
(05:25):
Why does Susie Snowflake tap on windows? Name the Italian
Christmas donkey? Jing Andy Jing Santa? I don't like this one.
I don't like this one. Who sang Santa Baby, slip
(05:47):
a present under the tree for me? Who originally sang that?
In nineteen fifty three? It's been done by Taylor Swift,
It's been done by Madonna. But who sang it originally?
And what gift is the largest gift in size given
(06:10):
from Country A to Country B for Christmas? I'm not
talking land. I'm talking a man made object. Now, if
you think you know any of those six one, seven, two, five, four, ten,
thirty eight, eight, eight, nine, two, nine, ten thirty I
wanted to do something light and at sunset Haniker began,
(06:38):
and at midnight Christmas began and now all the wrapping
papers scattered over the floor and their dishes in the sink,
and the day has reached its end. So I wanted
to do something simple and fun for all of the
night Side listeners. And again, Dan Ray is not going
(07:02):
to be here until next Wednesday, the first of July,
the beginning of twenty twenty five. I am here until then,
and I'm going to do my best to keep you
informed and entertained, and so they always try to do
when I have a bsy microphone in front of me.
(07:26):
So my producer was the same producer I had last night, Dan,
what is your last name? Cantano? Dan Cantano is my producer. Tonight,
be polite to him, please, I would appreciate you treating
him with the same respect you treat Rob. When Rob

Nice Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2 (08:12):

of the holiday left before midnight. We wave goodbye to Christmas.
Hanukkah's here for eight days, but I thought I would
do something comfortable here on Night Side again. I'm Morgan
(08:35):
Philim for Damn. We've got full lines. We're playing Christmas
trivia and Nancy looked at my list and I said,

Was it Mel Sermons?
Speaker 6 (11:28):
It could have been? Okay, yeah, that was years ago.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Both Mel and I would have done for a caller.
Speaker 6 (11:36):

You're very welcome. So which trivia question do you want
to answer?
Speaker 6 (12:19):
The first one? You mentioned about fant baby, who sang it?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Who sang it? The first time in nineteen fifty three?
Speaker 6 (12:30):
Earth a Kid?
Speaker 2 (12:31):
That's the right answer, you know, well you're old enough
to remember that. I'm guessing I like it Madonna's version,
But Madonna had the kind of naughty itt up a bit,
and I kind of like the way Earth the Kids
sang it.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
I don't recall ever hearing her singing that, but earth
a Kid I definitely remember.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
All right, Well, very good for you remembering that, and
thank you for giving me a call.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Okay, I'll call you again.
Speaker 2 (13:07):

And before I take David in San Francisco, name the
elf and the claymation Rudolph the elf that wanted to
be a dentist? What former department store in Boston was
(13:33):
home to the enchanted village roughly nineteen fifty nine into
the early seventies. What now classic tune was introduced by
Charlie Brown's Christmas Do Do Do Do Do Do Do
Do Do Do Do do. It has a name, and
(13:55):
the name definitely does not remind you of Christmas. But
if if you know, that's a trivia question I've thrown
out there for you. Let's go to San Francisco and
talk to David. David, good evening, good evening.
Speaker 7 (14:11):
We're Merry Christmas to you, and Merry Christmas to Nancy
and Gray and Tony in Ohio and Glenn and Brighton.
And my answer is a ho.

Green Giant said the same line from time to time
named the phrase very good.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
But the Morgan have something and I want to be
regular callers. Her name is Florence, Yes, and I think
it was about a year ago. You're doing something on
the President and she claimed to be a descendant of
Franklin Pierce. Do you remember that?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Yes, she did. I remember that.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
Well. Another descendant of a great granddaughter Franklin Pierce is
a lady named Barbara Pierce, also known to us as
Barbara Bush. That I have heard that, Yeah, and so
that means that Florence is related to Barbara Bush.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Okay, indirectly. That line is a straight line from person
A the person B. There's a lot of that in
her history.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
But I just hope she's listening as made aware of that.
But anyhow, one more question. When are you gonna have
Bradley today on Friday? Friday? Okay, I'll be I'll be
waiting and I.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Will and as I did earlier, I will give you
special dispensation because you're not supposed to call twice within
a week on bz uh. The the trivia game necessarily
doesn't count against a call. And I know you are
a huge Bradley j fan. So and if you give
(16:06):
me a second.
Speaker 7 (16:09):
Yeah, we became good Radio Buddies when it had his
night show on BZ.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
And well, when you give you the time, be patient.
They've gotta take the rubber band off.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
All right, I'm going to finish off the questions I
have on this sheet, and that will lead us into
a break. I am sure. Let's see, where does the
Boston Christmas Tree come from? A community that's not in
the United States. They send it to us, and it's
(26:30):
a story behind that. But from where? Number of reindeer
without Rudolph? How many reindeer are there without Rudolph? The
chuck Berry Christmas Classic was what what magazine product created
(26:52):
our image of Santa You know, Santa Claus in the
minds of people back in the eighteen hundreds into the
nineteen hundreds was an elf. He looked like an elf.
But it was this magazine ad by this company that
gave us the Mardern image rather rotan gentlemen, red suit,
(27:15):
white fur line, big white beard, big black boots. You
know Santa? What company helped us have that image of
Santa in our minds? And I think I did this.
How many spirits visited Scrooge that night? How many total spirits?
(27:38):
Just a simple number we'll do. And if you want
to call in six thirty or eight, eight, eight, nine, two, nine,
ten thirty, you are more than welcome to and get
an answer. Right, you don't win anything, but you get
a gold star for your forehead. You supply the gold
(28:00):
star because I don't give away prizes on BZ anymore.
I used to, but an order came down from somebody,
one of the people who can make decisions on the station,
and I had to stop giving away prizes. All of
us did. Dan did. Dan's been able to give away
(28:24):
some prizes recently within the past three months or so.
But I don't have the same power that Dan Ray does.
So now you know, and let's take a break. When
you come back, we have a caller online and we'll
find out who that is after these messages. Time and
(28:46):
temperature eight forty four and twenty nine degrees.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Now back to Dan Ray line from the window world
Light six two years on WBZ.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
This is Nightside. Excuse me, sorry, my voice is not
what it should be. This is Nightside. I am Morgan.
Dan is off for the next for the rest of
the year, he's off, but he'll be back next Wednesday.
We're playing trivia tonight, and let's go to Florence and
Groveland and see which question she knows.

Speaker 3 (29:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Yeah, I always gave my kiddies a gift, you know, Christmas,
different holidays, right, and a little special piece and eat
you know that they loved getting, you.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Know, yeah, great, great loves. What's called temptation treats. Oh yeah,
we nicknamed them Trito's and we keep them in a
little container. And he goes up on the table, yeah
and pause at them, and sometimes I think he wishes
(30:20):
he could open them himself, negator of Nancy or myself
opening them.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
We take out three at the time and give them to.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Him, and he he knows, he.

Hoovers them in, choose them, and then next thing you know,
he's pawing the container for more.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
Yeah, oh gosh, he is my guys here tonight I
can say Merry Christmas.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
You know, I don't know if Jack Carter is doing traffic.
I'll have to wait till nine o'clock to find out.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Yeah, because I just turned it on a very short
while ago when my rest of company list. Yeah, but
I know I know about the tree. Okay, tell me
(31:16):
the tree came from Nova Scotia, exactly where my grandmother
came from.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Okay, question one, let me read that question.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Where is my grandma? Grandma was? Yeah, my grandma was
from Nova.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Scotia and that's the right answer.
Speaker 10 (31:36):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
And I looked it up in my phone to get
a look at it and all lit up and they
said there was something like five thousand lights on it. Wow,
it was quite spectacular to look at. Yeah. Really, Yeah,
(32:01):
you can look it up. You can go into Google
as to see it.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
And the day they put it up and lit it up,
it was on I think Channel five news and I
saw it.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Okay, good. Yeah, So yeah, I had that any lights,
and that's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
I think the tree in New York, in the New
York City tree right center has more lights than.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
That it does. And it's taller. Okay. That was seventy
four feet, I think, and the one from Nova Scotia
was like forty five feet, and the one in New York.
A quick, quick little note about it. That came from
(32:56):
a farm here, okay, gentlemen. Yeah, the gentleman that sent
it there after it went on to New York, he
had his stroke and they said he was hoping he
would survive and he wanted to be able to see
(33:17):
his tree all live up. So I didn't hear any
more about him, but I hope he survived.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Let's cross our fingers. Yeah, all right, Well I want
you to have a great rest of your holiday in
twenty twenty five will be a bang up year for you.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
Did you hear all my questions? Yes?
Speaker 10 (36:26):

thinking Dennis the dentist.
Speaker 2 (36:31):

Speaker 10 (36:35):
He wanted to be a dentist. But I think you
have the chipmunks one because she asked me.

Oh okay, bye bye.
Speaker 5 (37:19):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
He was about to say half a happy New Year,
and Nancy was quick on the drawer. See Nancy. Once
the call is finished, she pushes a button and they
go away. And sometimes her fingers are too fast, bad
finger bad, No matter what you I'm sorry. That was
a song cue from the seventies. I have about a
(37:43):
minute and a half and that's not enough time to
take a call. And besides, I have no more calls.
So if you want to call during the news six one, seven, four,
ten thirty or eight eight, eight, nine, two nine, ten thirty,
you should know that ten thirty part. And let me
(38:07):
throw two more questions to run up to the out time.
Will Farrell was an overgrown Santa's helper in What Movie
the Cowboy? Who sang Rudolph the original first time? They
are famous for their red donation kettles during the Christmas season,
(38:32):
Irving Berlin's holiday classic We All Know It, Name It?
He was the grinchest dog. What was Rudolph's girlfriend? The
traditional snack that people leave out for Santa? Billy Bob
Thornton's anti Christmas film and where does Santa Live, the
(39:00):
generic name of that area. Answer any of those. You
put a smile on my face. That's all I want
you to do. We're having fun. That'll be until ten
o'clock and next hour, Donna Helper will be joining me.
So time and temperature now eight fifty eight. Let me
(39:21):
double check twenty nine degrees
