There's a reason I'm going todo that.
I want to save some of thecontent and some of my reaction
to that show.
Um, for my for to that concert,for my show.

I don't want to repeat here andthere, so, uh, I would have
something set up for that.
But always a good time with mybrother and see my, my nephew
and, you know, going to concertsand things.
It's just one of my favoritethings.
By the way, let me say this tooToday, first day of fall, even
though it's going to be hot,it's the first day of fall, so
(02:52):
welcome to fall.
I always you know spring andfall are my favorite times of
the year.
I'd say spring is my veryfavorite, but then fall is right
there with it.
So I wish you a very happyfirst day of fall.
I wish you a very happy firstday of fall.
You know, as I was um doing mypodcast the other day, running
or walking for the podcastportion of it, and then did some
(03:13):
laps, you know we were talkingabout a variety of things, one
of those things being the factthat you know something about
Johnny Carson, and one of thethings that I noticed on Johnny
Carson I happen to mention on acouple of podcasts ago was that
occasionally you would see himsmoking and that it always.
Now, when I look back on that,I like, wow, man, look at that
(03:34):
they used to smoke on tv and allthat, and that I don't really
see people smoking very often,smoking cigarettes I mentioned I
have the occasional cigar, butI don't really see a lot of
people smoking cigarettes.
You know I used to smokecigarettes and I just thought I
would talk about cigarettestoday for a little bit, because
(03:55):
once I'm done with this I'll goon my run.
You know it is a precious thingto be able to breathe correctly
and I remember I smoked fromthe ages of like 16.
I would sneak Marlboro's redpack, marlboro box, and I smoked
to the age of 21.
Back then it seemed like I'dsmoked forever.
(04:15):
In retrospect, now that I'molder, I smoked for five years
and that was it.
Years and that was it.
And I loved cigarettes.
I can remember after a meal Iloved having a cigarette, after
a meal especially, or after, youknow, with coffee, or if you
(04:36):
were, you know, happen to bedrinking a beer, you know,
something like that I would.
I loved cigarettes, but rightafter a meal was the best.
But even at the tender age of,I don't know, probably 20, maybe
19, 20, 21, I knew it was badfor me, you know, and I could
feel myself struggling a littlebit to get my wind and I thought
(04:58):
, geez, I'm too young for that.
And so one day I just decidedthat I'd quit smoking.
And so one day I just decidedthat I'd quit smoking.
I went from Marlboro box in thered box to eventually and this
is when I knew I had to stop tosmoking Camel non-filters,
remember those?
I think they probably stillsell those, I don't know.
(05:20):
No filter, just a Camelnon-filter Little pack.
You may pound it in your hand,get the pack in there, light it
up.
I knew at that point.
Then I got tonsillitis, mythroat swelled up and I, you
know, at the age of 18 or 19, Ihad my tonsils out.
I don't know if one is relatedto the other, all I know is that
(05:40):
happened.
You know it's not a great thingto have your tonsils taken out
at that time.
But you know, I still for somereason in my mind think well,
what do you think Something'sgoing to happen?
You're smoking these horriblecamel nut filters.
But I know people still smokeand I do want to go for a run
today because I want to keep mylungs clear, I want to keep my
(06:01):
heart moving and, you know,working and keep my blood
pressure and my weight and allthat under control, like anyone
would.
When you think back, if you'reold enough to actually remember
TV commercials if you're old Iguess we have to say that at
this point then you probablyremember cigarette commercials
(06:21):
on TV.
Cigarette commercials have notbeen on television since 1970.
And yet, like I mentioned on mypodcast the other day, it's
still remarkable that if youwere even a kid during the time
that commercials were on TV forcigarettes, you still remember
them, or at least I do, boy.
(06:41):
They must have done a great jobadvertising cigarettes, because
I remember them.
But cigarette TV commercialsbanned in the US by the Public
Health Cigarette Smoking Act of1970, which was signed by
President Nixon.
See, it wasn't all bad.
He did some okay things, eh,not some not okay things.
(07:02):
But this ban prohibitedcigarette advertising on
television and radio, tookeffect January 2nd of 1971,
which, by the way, I'm veryproud of myself because the
other day, I believe, I saidjust off the cuff and the top of
my head didn't they ban him inlike 1971?
Might have been 72, but I thinkit was 71.
Bam, absolutely right, 71.
But this was a landmarklegislation.
(07:25):
It was direct response togrowing public concern about the
health impacts of smokingMarked a significant shift in
tobacco regulation.
You know, by the 1960s there wasa lot of evidence linking
smoking to serious healthproblems.
It became widespread, promptingpublic health initiatives
(07:45):
calling for reduced smokingrates.
You know, as I'm thinking aboutthat, I can remember about that
time being a kid and I would bewatching cartoons on a Saturday
morning and they used to havethis PSA.
That PSA has come on, if youremember the one with the Indian
.
He was crying because the trashwas thrown out onto the road,
(08:07):
which the guy wasn't even anIndian, by the way.
There were commercials like that, psas, and one of the ones that
I remember was an anti-smokingPSA which was directed at kids
and at fathers.
What they were saying basically, in this commercial that came
(08:30):
out in 1967, it was calledFather Like Son.
I still remember the littleflute and everything in the song
.
Jeez, I haven't heard it sinceI was a little kid that's how
old I am, dang it.
But here's a father andeverything that the father would
(08:52):
do his little boy, this littleblonde boy, would do the very
same thing and it was all fununtil the very end.
When they go to the park andthey're sitting at a tree and
then the um, the kid pulls outcigarettes, just like dad, and
lights one up Like son.
I still remember that littlejingle.
There's that flute.
God, I haven't heard this in 50years, 55 years.
(09:18):
Like father.
At the end he goes like father,like son.
They're out washing the cartogether.
Son shoots dad with a squirtgun.
Now they're just walking havinga good time.
Now they're going to throwrocks how fun.
Now they're at the tree in thepark.
Dad pulls out smokes, sets himon the ground.
(09:44):
The kid looks up at dad, picksup the cigarettes father like
son, think about it forinformation on smoking and heart
disease, ask your heartassociation you know, that's
amazing to me because I rememberthat so well again.
(10:07):
That was 1970.
Federal trade commission, theftc, required warning labels on
cigarette packages.
Back in 1964 the public healthcigarette smoking act was passed
.
In 1970, the final cigarettecommercial aired in the US on
television on January 1st 1971,promoted Virginia Slims on the
(10:33):
Tonight Show.
Anyone remember Virginia Slims?
So Virginia Slims were thecigarette for ladies, the
cigarette that women preferred.
You know there was the Marlboroman, but what about women?
They really played it up and Iremember it very well.
1968, virginia Slims.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
In 1910, mrs Pamela Benjamin was caught smoking in
the gazebo.
She got a severe scolding andno supper that night.
In 1915, mrs Cynthia Robinsonwas caught smoking in the cellar
behind the preserves, althoughshe was 34, her husband sent her
straight to her room.
Can you imagine?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Can you imagine these commercials now, even though
they're Then in 1920, women wontheir rights.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
You've come a long way, baby.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Introducing new Virginia Slims, the Slim
Cigarette for women, onlyTailored for the feminine hand,
slimmer than the fat cigarettesmen smoke Sure With flavor.
Women like Much morefashionable, rich, mild Virginia
flavor, fashionable cough.
New Virginia Slims in the SlimPurse Pack You've come a long
way, baby To get where you gotto today, you've got your own
(11:53):
cigarette.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Now, baby, you've come a long long way, you know.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
But you know what that reminded me of.
There was another one, therewas Benson I had forgotten about
this Benson and Hedges, andthey had this cool tune.
This is just a song from Bensonand Hedges and I remember this,
1967, pat's Peeps 335.
(12:20):
Remember this song.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
La, la, la, la, la la la la.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
The brass ring disadvantages of you on Dunhill
Records.
La la la la.
Anyone remember this?
I can't even believe I rememberthis.
La la la la.
My dad and my stepmother smokedPalmol Gold.
I used to steal them out of thecarton, go around town, elk
(12:51):
Grove, smoking them.
That's when cartons were socheap.
God, I don't even know how muchthey are these days.
It must be some ridiculousprice.
But you had the Virginia Slimand all that.
But you know what it startedoff with.
It started off with theMarlboro man.
It was a manly cigarette,marlboro.
(13:12):
Come to where the flavor isMarlboro Country.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
You don't see many wild stallions anymore.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Oh, the song was so great, the Magnificent.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Seven right.
No, you don't see many wildstallions anymore, and even if
he did run off three of yourbest mares, he's one of the last
of a wild and very singularbreed Marlboro man looking
serious with that cigarette man?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Ooh, Very serious look.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Come to where the flavor is.
Come to Marlboro Country.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Bum, bum, bum, bum.
Wow, I remember that.
I don't know why.
That just reminded me of acommercial that has nothing to
do with cigarettes.
Remember this.
At the sign of the cat, anyoneremember that.
How about, I'd rather fightthan switch Tarrington
cigarettes, remember this.
So here's the lady.
(14:29):
She's at the carnival.
She gets in one of those photobooths where you put the coin in
, shoots out a bunch of photosin the photo booth, she gets it
back and she's got a black eye.
What?
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Us Tarrington smokers would rather fight than switch.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
Oh no.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
She got in a beef what is?
Speaker 6 (14:47):
Tariton, the taste worth fighting for Just this.
There's a difference.
You can see in the filter.
It makes a difference.
You can taste in the smoke.
Look, tariton has a white outerfilter and an inner filter of
activated charcoal.
Just like.
Lark Fine granules of activatedcharcoal and pure cellulose.
And the charcoal filter workswith the white filter to
(15:07):
actually improve the flavor ofTariton's fine tobaccos.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Pure cellulose Not with more cellulose.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Yes, there's a difference.
You can see in the filter.
It makes a difference you cantaste in the smoke.
So get the charcoal filter witha taste worth fighting for.
Join the unswitchables.
Smoke Tariton.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Us Tariton smokers would rather fight than switch.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
There was all kind of weird products back then, like
Zinc Chlorofion, remember that,or Retsin.
I didn't know what any of itwas, but it seemed like it was
supposed to be good.
And then some of the cigarettesongs were great.
Remember how, about this?
You know, and I guarantee you Ihave not heard this in, I don
know it must be.
I mean it must be 50 years or45, 50 years, but I still know
(15:54):
the song.
It's it, I can even go winstontastes good like a cigarette
should.
Winston tastes good like acigarette should.
Let me see if I remember thatright.

Pat's Peeps 335.
Thank you for joining us.
You gotta remember camels Camelcigarettes.
You know, of all the cigarettes, guess which one's doctors
prefer the most.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
You know, if you were to follow a busy doctor as he
makes his daily round of calls,you'd find yourself having a
mighty busy time keeping up withhim.
Time out for many men ofmedicine usually means just long
enough to enjoy a cigarette.
And because they know what apleasure it is to smoke a mild,
good-tasting cigarette, they'reparticular about the brand they
(19:50):
choose.
In a repeated national survey,doctors in all branches of
medicine, doctors in all partsof the country were asked what
cigarette do you smoke, doctor?
Once again, the brand namedmost was camel.
Yes of course, nationwide surveymore doctors smoke camels than
(20:11):
any other cigarette.
Right, why not change to camelsfor the next 30 days and see
what a difference it makes inyour smoking enjoyment?
Absolutely see how camels agreewith your throat, sure.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
See how if you get tonsillitis, like pat did that.
See, if that agreed with his,my throat and good tasting a
cigarette can be oh my gosh.
You know, else apparently likedcamel cigarettes was the great
john wayne here's john wayne,america's number one dramatic
movie star on location.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
As you can see, making a movie can be pretty
tough going, but free swinging,heswinging He-Man parts are what
John Wayne loves to play andwhat the audience loves to see
him in.
Okay, cut when the cameras stop.
John Wayne takes time out toenjoy his favorite cigarette,
camel.
Let's hear what he thinks aboutCamels in his own words.
(21:03):
Well, after you've been makinga lot of strenuous scenes, you
like to sit back and enjoy acool, mild, good-tasting
cigarette.
And that's just what camels areMild and good-tasting, pack
after pack.
I know I've been smoking themfor 20 years.
Oh no, why don't you try themyourself?
Oh, john, you'll see what Imean.
Yes, try them yourself andyou'll discover the secret of
(21:26):
camels' extra enjoyment.
Smoke and you'll discover thesecret of camels' extra
enjoyment.
Smoke-only camels for 30 days.
For mildness and flavor, camelsagree with more people than any
other cigarette.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
So many people that they'd actually walk a mile for
a camel.
If you remember that this man.
He's going through the desert.
He's in a nice, he's got like anice dress out, you know like a
dress coat on or a sport coat,Got his floor chimes on, but
he's going through the desert,he's got his slacks on.
(21:57):
And now there's some Mexicanson horses out there, for
whatever reason.
Show some prairie dogs here.
He comes after a long, longwalk.
Looks like he's walking througha little Mexican town Somewhere
in beautiful Mexico.
Everyone's looking at him.
He goes into the buildingPoints at camels.
(22:19):
Yes, everything's better.
I'd walk a mile for a camel.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
This little demonstration was strictly for
smokers who never tasted a camelcigarette.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
He's got that hole in the bottom of his shoe Camel
smokers, you know what we mean.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Yep, you other guys start walking.
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
But what about on Pat's Peeps 335?
Come on, you got to give alittle play to the menthol
cigarette.
You know, I remember Salem's asbeing there was Cool, right,
cool and Salem were the two.
I remember Cool menthol, salemmenthol, and I did this on my
podcast a couple of days ago.
But I remember the jingle,which I again have not heard
this in 50 plus and it's um, youcan take Salem out of the
(23:03):
country, but it's got a littlebing, you can't take the country
out of Salem.
Let's see if we can go back andremember this from the 60s.
Speaker 7 (23:11):
Oh, there it is Wow.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Just like I remember it.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
You can take Salem out of the country, but, jeez,
you can't take the country outof Salem Country, soft Country
fresh, that's the taste you getwherever you light up a Salem
Country soft Country.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
Fresh, that's the taste you get wherever you light
up a Salem, because Salemgently air softens every puff
For the smoothest, mostrefreshing taste of any filter
cigarette.
So wherever you are, take apuff, sure, it's fresh.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Try that these days, it's springtime.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
You can take Salem out of the country, but you
can't you can't take the countryout of sailing wow, try salem,
america's largest sellingmenthol cigarette I remember was
sitting there watching tv atnight.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
That would come on.
My mom would have like she'd goto like one of the fabric barn
or something and she would getlike patterns Remember, like
patterns.
I remember McCall, for somereason She'd get patterns I
don't see any women doing thisanymore and she'd be on there,
you know, be watching TV andshe'd be on the living room
floor with her patterns Makingclothes and I just remember
(24:26):
these commercials coming on TV.
And occasionally my mom didn'talways smoke, but then she'd
start smoking and then shesmoked for a while and then she
stopped smoking.
Then she'd start smoking again.
I remember my pops at one timesmoking the Lucky Strikes.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Light up a Lucky.
It's light up time.
Be happy, go lucky.
It's light up time For thetaste that you like.
Light up a Lucky Strike, relax.
It's light up time.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
You know what they used to do is they used to send
a mascot, mr Sig.
How about this?
Mr Sig, 1948, used to visithospitals, a human-sized
cigarette mascot known as Mr Sig.
What would he do?
He would go to the hospitalsand he would hand out free
(25:17):
cigarettes as part of tobaccoadvertising campaigns, when
smoking was not widelyconsidered harmful, included
respiratory wards.
Okay, think about that.
Mr Sig walks into yourrespiratory ward to hand out
(25:37):
cigarettes, highlighting, ofcourse, a stark contrast with
the modern tobacco-freehealthcare.
The campaign aimed to associatesmoking with positive aspects
like glamour and socialacceptance, to make it
approachable, to humanize theproduct.
(25:57):
That's what Mr Sig did withwidespread acceptance.
Smoking was widely accepted.
I should say there was Lark'swith a patented filter.
I do remember the Lark's with apatented filter.
I do remember the Lark's with apatented filter.
That seemed to be a veryspecial thing to keep you safe.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Flavor.
Rich, rewarding flavor made aLark smoker out of this man.
But it was the back of the packthat got him to try Lark in the
first place.
Lark is unique in cigarettefiltration.
Only in the Keith filter do youfind two modern outer filters
plus an inner filter of charcoalgranules.
Science uses charcoal granulesto purify water you drink and to
(26:38):
purify air you breathe.
Lark's granules are not onlyactivated but fortified.
A special way.
Sure.
This selective filtrationsmooths the taste but doesn't
thin out the rich tobacco flavor.
Sure.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Especially with that echo chamber.
For sure, that, for sure sealsthe deal, that seals the deal
for me, commander Cody.
Speaker 9 (27:06):
I'm a guy with a heart of gold, the ways of a
gentleman, I've been told, thekind of guy who would never harm
a flea, commander Cody.
But if me and a certaincharacter Met the man who
invented the cigarette, I'dmurder that son of a gun In the
first degree and his lost planetairmen.
Now it ain't cause I don'tsmoke myself and I don't figure
it'll hurt my health.
Me smoking for 25 years Ain'tdead yet.
(27:27):

But always a good time with mybrother and see my, my nephew

It's just one of my favoritethings.
By the way, let me say this tooToday, first day of fall, even
though it's going to be hot,it's the first day of fall, so
(02:52):
welcome to fall.
I always you know spring andfall are my favorite times of
the year.
I'd say spring is my veryfavorite, but then fall is right
there with it.
So I wish you a very happyfirst day of fall.
I wish you a very happy firstday of fall.
You know, as I was um doing mypodcast the other day, running
or walking for the podcastportion of it, and then did some
(03:13):
laps, you know we were talkingabout a variety of things, one
of those things being the factthat you know something about
Johnny Carson, and one of thethings that I noticed on Johnny
Carson I happen to mention on acouple of podcasts ago was that
occasionally you would see himsmoking and that it always.
Now, when I look back on that,I like, wow, man, look at that
(03:34):
they used to smoke on tv and allthat, and that I don't really
see people smoking very often,smoking cigarettes I mentioned I
have the occasional cigar, butI don't really see a lot of
people smoking cigarettes.
You know I used to smokecigarettes and I just thought I
would talk about cigarettestoday for a little bit, because
(03:55):
once I'm done with this I'll goon my run.
You know it is a precious thingto be able to breathe correctly
and I remember I smoked fromthe ages of like 16.
I would sneak Marlboro's redpack, marlboro box, and I smoked
to the age of 21.
Back then it seemed like I'dsmoked forever.
(04:15):
In retrospect, now that I'molder, I smoked for five years
and that was it.
Years and that was it.
And I loved cigarettes.
I can remember after a meal Iloved having a cigarette, after
a meal especially, or after, youknow, with coffee, or if you
(04:36):
were, you know, happen to bedrinking a beer, you know,
something like that I would.
I loved cigarettes, but rightafter a meal was the best.
But even at the tender age of,I don't know, probably 20, maybe
19, 20, 21, I knew it was badfor me, you know, and I could
feel myself struggling a littlebit to get my wind and I thought
(04:58):
, geez, I'm too young for that.
And so one day I just decidedthat I'd quit smoking.
And so one day I just decidedthat I'd quit smoking.
I went from Marlboro box in thered box to eventually and this
is when I knew I had to stop tosmoking Camel non-filters,
remember those?
I think they probably stillsell those, I don't know.
(05:20):
No filter, just a Camelnon-filter Little pack.
You may pound it in your hand,get the pack in there, light it
up.
I knew at that point.
Then I got tonsillitis, mythroat swelled up and I, you
know, at the age of 18 or 19, Ihad my tonsils out.
I don't know if one is relatedto the other, all I know is that
(05:40):
happened.
You know it's not a great thingto have your tonsils taken out
at that time.
But you know, I still for somereason in my mind think well,
what do you think Something'sgoing to happen?
You're smoking these horriblecamel nut filters.
But I know people still smokeand I do want to go for a run
today because I want to keep mylungs clear, I want to keep my
(06:01):
heart moving and, you know,working and keep my blood
pressure and my weight and allthat under control, like anyone
would.
When you think back, if you'reold enough to actually remember
TV commercials if you're old Iguess we have to say that at
this point then you probablyremember cigarette commercials
(06:21):
on TV.
Cigarette commercials have notbeen on television since 1970.
And yet, like I mentioned on mypodcast the other day, it's
still remarkable that if youwere even a kid during the time
that commercials were on TV forcigarettes, you still remember
them, or at least I do, boy.
(06:41):
They must have done a great jobadvertising cigarettes, because
I remember them.
But cigarette TV commercialsbanned in the US by the Public
Health Cigarette Smoking Act of1970, which was signed by
President Nixon.
See, it wasn't all bad.
He did some okay things, eh,not some not okay things.
(07:02):
But this ban prohibitedcigarette advertising on
television and radio, tookeffect January 2nd of 1971,
which, by the way, I'm veryproud of myself because the
other day, I believe, I saidjust off the cuff and the top of
my head didn't they ban him inlike 1971?
Might have been 72, but I thinkit was 71.
Bam, absolutely right, 71.
But this was a landmarklegislation.
(07:25):
It was direct response togrowing public concern about the
health impacts of smokingMarked a significant shift in
tobacco regulation.
You know, by the 1960s there wasa lot of evidence linking
smoking to serious healthproblems.
It became widespread, promptingpublic health initiatives
(07:45):
calling for reduced smokingrates.
You know, as I'm thinking aboutthat, I can remember about that
time being a kid and I would bewatching cartoons on a Saturday
morning and they used to havethis PSA.
That PSA has come on, if youremember the one with the Indian
.
He was crying because the trashwas thrown out onto the road,
(08:07):
which the guy wasn't even anIndian, by the way.
There were commercials like that, psas, and one of the ones that
I remember was an anti-smokingPSA which was directed at kids
and at fathers.
What they were saying basically, in this commercial that came
(08:30):
out in 1967, it was calledFather Like Son.
I still remember the littleflute and everything in the song
.
Jeez, I haven't heard it sinceI was a little kid that's how
old I am, dang it.
But here's a father andeverything that the father would
(08:52):
do his little boy, this littleblonde boy, would do the very
same thing and it was all fununtil the very end.
When they go to the park andthey're sitting at a tree and
then the um, the kid pulls outcigarettes, just like dad, and
lights one up Like son.
I still remember that littlejingle.
There's that flute.
God, I haven't heard this in 50years, 55 years.
(09:18):
Like father.
At the end he goes like father,like son.
They're out washing the cartogether.
Son shoots dad with a squirtgun.
Now they're just walking havinga good time.
Now they're going to throwrocks how fun.
Now they're at the tree in thepark.
Dad pulls out smokes, sets himon the ground.
(09:44):
The kid looks up at dad, picksup the cigarettes father like
son, think about it forinformation on smoking and heart
disease, ask your heartassociation you know, that's
amazing to me because I rememberthat so well again.
(10:07):
That was 1970.
Federal trade commission, theftc, required warning labels on
cigarette packages.
Back in 1964 the public healthcigarette smoking act was passed
.
In 1970, the final cigarettecommercial aired in the US on
television on January 1st 1971,promoted Virginia Slims on the
(10:33):
Tonight Show.
Anyone remember Virginia Slims?
So Virginia Slims were thecigarette for ladies, the
cigarette that women preferred.
You know there was the Marlboroman, but what about women?
They really played it up and Iremember it very well.
1968, virginia Slims.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
In 1910, mrs Pamela Benjamin was caught smoking in
the gazebo.
She got a severe scolding andno supper that night.
In 1915, mrs Cynthia Robinsonwas caught smoking in the cellar
behind the preserves, althoughshe was 34, her husband sent her
straight to her room.
Can you imagine?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Can you imagine these commercials now, even though
they're Then in 1920, women wontheir rights.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
You've come a long way, baby.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Introducing new Virginia Slims, the Slim
Cigarette for women, onlyTailored for the feminine hand,
slimmer than the fat cigarettesmen smoke Sure With flavor.
Women like Much morefashionable, rich, mild Virginia
flavor, fashionable cough.
New Virginia Slims in the SlimPurse Pack You've come a long
way, baby To get where you gotto today, you've got your own
(11:53):
cigarette.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Now, baby, you've come a long long way, you know.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
But you know what that reminded me of.
There was another one, therewas Benson I had forgotten about
this Benson and Hedges, andthey had this cool tune.
This is just a song from Bensonand Hedges and I remember this,
1967, pat's Peeps 335.
(12:20):
Remember this song.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
La, la, la, la, la la la la.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
The brass ring disadvantages of you on Dunhill
Records.
La la la la.
Anyone remember this?
I can't even believe I rememberthis.
La la la la.
My dad and my stepmother smokedPalmol Gold.
I used to steal them out of thecarton, go around town, elk
(12:51):
Grove, smoking them.
That's when cartons were socheap.
God, I don't even know how muchthey are these days.
It must be some ridiculousprice.
But you had the Virginia Slimand all that.
But you know what it startedoff with.
It started off with theMarlboro man.
It was a manly cigarette,marlboro.
(13:12):
Come to where the flavor isMarlboro Country.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
You don't see many wild stallions anymore.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Oh, the song was so great, the Magnificent.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Seven right.
No, you don't see many wildstallions anymore, and even if
he did run off three of yourbest mares, he's one of the last
of a wild and very singularbreed Marlboro man looking
serious with that cigarette man?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Ooh, Very serious look.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Come to where the flavor is.
Come to Marlboro Country.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Bum, bum, bum, bum.
Wow, I remember that.
I don't know why.
That just reminded me of acommercial that has nothing to
do with cigarettes.
Remember this.
At the sign of the cat, anyoneremember that.
How about, I'd rather fightthan switch Tarrington
cigarettes, remember this.
So here's the lady.
(14:29):
She's at the carnival.
She gets in one of those photobooths where you put the coin in
, shoots out a bunch of photosin the photo booth, she gets it
back and she's got a black eye.
What?
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Us Tarrington smokers would rather fight than switch.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
Oh no.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
She got in a beef what is?
Speaker 6 (14:47):
Tariton, the taste worth fighting for Just this.
There's a difference.
You can see in the filter.
It makes a difference.
You can taste in the smoke.
Look, tariton has a white outerfilter and an inner filter of
activated charcoal.
Just like.
Lark Fine granules of activatedcharcoal and pure cellulose.
And the charcoal filter workswith the white filter to
(15:07):
actually improve the flavor ofTariton's fine tobaccos.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Pure cellulose Not with more cellulose.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Yes, there's a difference.
You can see in the filter.
It makes a difference you cantaste in the smoke.
So get the charcoal filter witha taste worth fighting for.
Join the unswitchables.
Smoke Tariton.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Us Tariton smokers would rather fight than switch.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
There was all kind of weird products back then, like
Zinc Chlorofion, remember that,or Retsin.
I didn't know what any of itwas, but it seemed like it was
supposed to be good.
And then some of the cigarettesongs were great.
Remember how, about this?
You know, and I guarantee you Ihave not heard this in, I don
know it must be.
I mean it must be 50 years or45, 50 years, but I still know
(15:54):
the song.
It's it, I can even go winstontastes good like a cigarette
should.
Winston tastes good like acigarette should.
Let me see if I remember thatright.
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (16:14):

me.
Thank you, winston.
But you know what?
How about winston?
If you look at winston Winstonman, they had the advertising

Speaker 1 (19:18):
Pat's Peeps 335.
Thank you for joining us.
You gotta remember camels Camelcigarettes.
You know, of all the cigarettes, guess which one's doctors
prefer the most.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
You know, if you were to follow a busy doctor as he
makes his daily round of calls,you'd find yourself having a
mighty busy time keeping up withhim.
Time out for many men ofmedicine usually means just long
enough to enjoy a cigarette.
And because they know what apleasure it is to smoke a mild,
good-tasting cigarette, they'reparticular about the brand they
(19:50):
choose.
In a repeated national survey,doctors in all branches of
medicine, doctors in all partsof the country were asked what
cigarette do you smoke, doctor?
Once again, the brand namedmost was camel.
Yes of course, nationwide surveymore doctors smoke camels than
(20:11):
any other cigarette.
Right, why not change to camelsfor the next 30 days and see
what a difference it makes inyour smoking enjoyment?
Absolutely see how camels agreewith your throat, sure.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
See how if you get tonsillitis, like pat did that.
See, if that agreed with his,my throat and good tasting a
cigarette can be oh my gosh.
You know, else apparently likedcamel cigarettes was the great
john wayne here's john wayne,america's number one dramatic
movie star on location.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
As you can see, making a movie can be pretty
tough going, but free swinging,heswinging He-Man parts are what
John Wayne loves to play andwhat the audience loves to see
him in.
Okay, cut when the cameras stop.
John Wayne takes time out toenjoy his favorite cigarette,
camel.
Let's hear what he thinks aboutCamels in his own words.
(21:03):
Well, after you've been makinga lot of strenuous scenes, you
like to sit back and enjoy acool, mild, good-tasting
cigarette.
And that's just what camels areMild and good-tasting, pack
after pack.
I know I've been smoking themfor 20 years.
Oh no, why don't you try themyourself?
Oh, john, you'll see what Imean.
Yes, try them yourself andyou'll discover the secret of
(21:26):
camels' extra enjoyment.
Smoke and you'll discover thesecret of camels' extra
enjoyment.
Smoke-only camels for 30 days.
For mildness and flavor, camelsagree with more people than any
other cigarette.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
So many people that they'd actually walk a mile for
a camel.
If you remember that this man.
He's going through the desert.
He's in a nice, he's got like anice dress out, you know like a
dress coat on or a sport coat,Got his floor chimes on, but
he's going through the desert,he's got his slacks on.
(21:57):
And now there's some Mexicanson horses out there, for
whatever reason.
Show some prairie dogs here.
He comes after a long, longwalk.
Looks like he's walking througha little Mexican town Somewhere
in beautiful Mexico.
Everyone's looking at him.
He goes into the buildingPoints at camels.
(22:19):
Yes, everything's better.
I'd walk a mile for a camel.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
This little demonstration was strictly for
smokers who never tasted a camelcigarette.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
He's got that hole in the bottom of his shoe Camel
smokers, you know what we mean.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Yep, you other guys start walking.
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
But what about on Pat's Peeps 335?
Come on, you got to give alittle play to the menthol
cigarette.
You know, I remember Salem's asbeing there was Cool, right,
cool and Salem were the two.
I remember Cool menthol, salemmenthol, and I did this on my
podcast a couple of days ago.
But I remember the jingle,which I again have not heard
this in 50 plus and it's um, youcan take Salem out of the
(23:03):
country, but it's got a littlebing, you can't take the country
out of Salem.
Let's see if we can go back andremember this from the 60s.
Speaker 7 (23:11):
Oh, there it is Wow.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Just like I remember it.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
You can take Salem out of the country, but, jeez,
you can't take the country outof Salem Country, soft Country
fresh, that's the taste you getwherever you light up a Salem
Country soft Country.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
Fresh, that's the taste you get wherever you light
up a Salem, because Salemgently air softens every puff
For the smoothest, mostrefreshing taste of any filter
cigarette.
So wherever you are, take apuff, sure, it's fresh.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Try that these days, it's springtime.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
You can take Salem out of the country, but you
can't you can't take the countryout of sailing wow, try salem,
america's largest sellingmenthol cigarette I remember was
sitting there watching tv atnight.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
That would come on.
My mom would have like she'd goto like one of the fabric barn
or something and she would getlike patterns Remember, like
patterns.
I remember McCall, for somereason She'd get patterns I
don't see any women doing thisanymore and she'd be on there,
you know, be watching TV andshe'd be on the living room
floor with her patterns Makingclothes and I just remember
(24:26):
these commercials coming on TV.
And occasionally my mom didn'talways smoke, but then she'd
start smoking and then shesmoked for a while and then she
stopped smoking.
Then she'd start smoking again.
I remember my pops at one timesmoking the Lucky Strikes.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Light up a Lucky.
It's light up time.
Be happy, go lucky.
It's light up time For thetaste that you like.
Light up a Lucky Strike, relax.
It's light up time.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
You know what they used to do is they used to send
a mascot, mr Sig.
How about this?
Mr Sig, 1948, used to visithospitals, a human-sized
cigarette mascot known as Mr Sig.
What would he do?
He would go to the hospitalsand he would hand out free
(25:17):
cigarettes as part of tobaccoadvertising campaigns, when
smoking was not widelyconsidered harmful, included
respiratory wards.
Okay, think about that.
Mr Sig walks into yourrespiratory ward to hand out
(25:37):
cigarettes, highlighting, ofcourse, a stark contrast with
the modern tobacco-freehealthcare.
The campaign aimed to associatesmoking with positive aspects
like glamour and socialacceptance, to make it
approachable, to humanize theproduct.
(25:57):
That's what Mr Sig did withwidespread acceptance.
Smoking was widely accepted.
I should say there was Lark'swith a patented filter.
I do remember the Lark's with apatented filter.
I do remember the Lark's with apatented filter.
That seemed to be a veryspecial thing to keep you safe.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Flavor.
Rich, rewarding flavor made aLark smoker out of this man.
But it was the back of the packthat got him to try Lark in the
first place.
Lark is unique in cigarettefiltration.
Only in the Keith filter do youfind two modern outer filters
plus an inner filter of charcoalgranules.
Science uses charcoal granulesto purify water you drink and to
(26:38):
purify air you breathe.
Lark's granules are not onlyactivated but fortified.
A special way.
Sure.
This selective filtrationsmooths the taste but doesn't
thin out the rich tobacco flavor.
Sure.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Especially with that echo chamber.
For sure, that, for sure sealsthe deal, that seals the deal
for me, commander Cody.
Speaker 9 (27:06):
I'm a guy with a heart of gold, the ways of a
gentleman, I've been told, thekind of guy who would never harm
a flea, commander Cody.
But if me and a certaincharacter Met the man who
invented the cigarette, I'dmurder that son of a gun In the
first degree and his lost planetairmen.
Now it ain't cause I don'tsmoke myself and I don't figure
it'll hurt my health.
Me smoking for 25 years Ain'tdead yet.
(27:27):

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
