The title of this episode will be: Existential Essentials 

It’s an absolute wacky DBG from September 12^th, 1992.

However, a bonus clip begins the festivities from September 7th:

A CALL FROM MONADNOCK!

For the uninitiated, Monadnock (real first name, Jerome) was a regular caller to the overnight shows on WBZ. Always filled with wild mystery and conspiracy. I recall one time whe...

As we begin our journey to the next 250 episodes, I just want to thank everyone again for your support. I am still working on some other features to add to the VoS Broadcast Empire. It’s a one-man show here so hang in there. You can find links in the description on ways to support my efforts here.

Today we have a DBG from September 5^th, 1992, which shall be titled: Hazel the P...

250 episodes! What in tarnation! How did that happen?

That’s a lotta Norm and I know I’m so very grateful for it.

Thank you all for listening, commenting, sharing and supporting the efforts here at the Vault of Silliness.

Let us celebrate with the one absolute, guaranteed constant of the Norm Nathan Show and this rebroadcast podcast…a DBG! This one from August 24^th, 1992. Let’...

Here’s an excellent, maybe even one of the best examples of what I wish most of these tapes have on them here in the VoSt. Lots of commercials and promos, Norm reading accuwx and a story…all the stuff that fills out a show and adds more fun, especially when it came to the commercials.

So, what am I talking about? It’s a DBG from August 15^th, 1991 that I have titled: Lots of Pu...

Now THIS is the full episode with proper open and close!

Hello and welcome back to Norm Nathan’s Vault of Silliness with yours truly, Tony Nesbitt. Today we have a DBG from August 12^th, 1995 which I’ve titled…“Buck ‘em (that’s Buck with a B) if They Can’t Take a Joke”

Welcome back to Norm Nathan’s Vault of Silliness and thanks just so darn much for being here. If you could take a moment to hit that thumbs up/like button, it would greatly help with our friend Al Go-rithim. And, if you haven’t subscribed, please do so. We’ve gained a few over the past few weeks. I would be so honored to get to double what we have now. A tall order, maybe, but with the h...

I thought we’d close out the month of Independence with a DBG from July. 4^th, 1996. Our Title? Googly-eyed Giggles

Not only do we get chortling laughter from Norm but also a couple of sage sayings from the one and only HGPG.

 

Players:

Jack Harte

Penny in Malden

Bob from Brockton

Ethel in Portsmouth, NH

And Mike Epstein producing and playing in studio and briefly off mic

Did you notice anything about last week’s episode? It was an encore of  our very first release from the VoS. Good Ol’ Ep 1. Since we’re closing in on 250, I thought, why not? It was a fresh edit, title and notes.

That episode was so ridiculous I may repeat it every year.

That moves us to this week where we have a NNS from July 23^rd, 1995 which I’ve titled: Astron-Normy.

Our Gu...

Alright Vaulters of the Silly and Norm Nathanites, we have ourselves one of the nuttiest DBG on record for you today. Hailing from July 15^th, 1995, I have titled it: Insanity and Inanity. 

Norm kicks it off with a less than enthusiastic reading of the rules.

 

Our players:

Katherine from Randolph

Dick in Framingham

Bill out in Cincinnati

Tony Nesbitt on the phone

Jack Harte in...

Buongiorno, Italy! I should mention that it’s our trentanove (39^th ) country to appear in the analytics! Giacomo Benni would be proud. 

Today you will hear a DBG from July 9^th, 1995 which I’ve titled:

A Jar-full of Mason

 

Players:

Larry from Hopedale

Rick in Merrimack MA (formerly lived in Middleton)

Claire from Lawrence

Ken Newman in Traffic

Sorry about that little glitch in last week’s episode with a repeat opening from the previous episode. Thanks to ol’ pal Fred in Medford for pointing that out and I republished it with the correct opening.

I’ll chalk it up to too many late-night production sessions.

Today we have ourselves a DBG from July 2, 1992 the title of which fits almost like no other:

Summertime PUN

The game opens...

Today’s we have ourselves a NNS from June 30^th and a taste of July 1^st, 1995. It’s a great way to end June and pack up for a lovely July vacation. That reason, among others is why I’ve named it: A Trunkful of Fun

Norm was filling in for Bob Raleigh, so we have guests and lots of callers. This ride gets bumpy with lots of jump cuts to other calls and subjects.

The fi...

Welcome back to another episode of Norm Nathan’s Vault of Silliness. Today’s feature presentation is a couple of back-to-back hours of a NNS from June 22^nd, 1996. I have titled it: A Cozy Companion. Not just because we talk about rescuing animals but because Norm was like that to so many people during those over weekend overnights.

We begin with an excellent traffic report fro...

Why am I losing subscribers on YT? It doesn’t cost anything. Do you not want to laugh and forget about the madness that surrounds us every day? I’m curious to know if that’s just YT bleeping with the stats.

That’s why I like to remind people to leave a like, click that thumbs up as it helps our old pal Al Go Rithim. Sharing also helps. Comments too! That like button, though, takes barely...

Today we have an encore presentation, kind of. As it turns out, I used this show 3 years ago. I listened again and thought, “Why not?” What exactly am I talking about? A DBG form June 4^th, 1994, that’s what. I will however give it a new title: Emili-NO.

It all begins with Norm regaling us with a story of his baseball glory when he donned a Red Sox uniform.

Then on to the game.

Checking the analytics before lighting up the world with a new episode I was thrilled to see that China is now listening to the Vault of Silliness. That brings us to 38 countries to match the old WBZ 38 states clear channel reach. I’m mighty proud. So xièxiè (thank you) China!

 

We return to 1992 for a DBG from May 31^st.

Let’s call this one: A “Shoe-in” for a Good Time

Let me ...
