Listen " Norm Nathan's Vault of Silliness with Tony Nesbitt - Ep 252 - Existential Essentials "
Episode Synopsis
The title of this episode will be: Existential Essentials
It’s an absolute wacky DBG from September 12th, 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 when he claimed the govt was watching him through a lightbulb in his home.
He does not disappoint here as he takes the liberty to inform us that his generation was brought up on propaganda.
Topics covered:
A New Jersey story about an apparition of the Virgin Mary appearing to a man and the possibility that it was all done by the government and military.
I began to play the dramatic, mystery music during the call.
He continues…Wayne Gretzky is involved.
Monadnock was drugged and his teeth were stained!
I now add echo to create the disembodied voice of Norm.
Liza Minelli is in on it too!
The Red Sox are involved!
He’s been unjustly hospitalized over 15 times.
God Bless ya, Monadnock, we love you!
Now, from the sublime to the ridiculous, it’s DBG time.
