Speaker 2 (01:06):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
I promised a little bit of musical trivia before we
get back to sports. We have a new story, Christy,
involving Smokey Bear over there, and I thought perhaps we
could share that and then I'll help clear up a
mystery that has been bothering some people. Go ahead.

Speaker 5 (01:21):
A Smokey Bear sign was stolen from outside of Pennsylvania
fire station while firefighters were out on a call. Bear
Creek Township Volunteer Fire Rescue posted about the theft of
their large, wooden Smokey Bear sign on social media. Officials
said the sign had been sought off at its wooden post.
The department asked for the public's help in bringing Smokey home.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
Now, obviously, whoever did this, I'm sure not sober. Let's
just think about this for a second. Can no one
sobers going? You know what we should do. We should
go steal the smoky bear sign saying only you can
prevent forest fires. But this got me thinking, is it
Smoky Bear or Smokey the Bear?

Speaker 6 (02:01):
I thought we put this to rest.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
At one point I got the official word on it.

Speaker 6 (02:05):
Okay, all right?

Speaker 4 (02:07):
The US Forest Service introduced the fire prevention mascot in
nineteen forty four. He was introduced as Smoky Bear, No
the No the However, in nineteen fifty two, a popular
song called Smoky the Bear was released. The though was

(02:29):
added to make the lyrics flow better. Oh yeah, phrasing,
I often do that. Yeah, that's you're an artist poetic
we do so. Technically, Smoky Bear is correct, but as
it's described here, culturally common Smoky the Bear. And here's
a little sample of that song.

Speaker 7 (02:54):
Weather Rangers had a shovel and a pair of dungarees.
You will find him in the far. It's always sniffing
at the breeze. People stop and pay attention when he
tells him to beware, because everybody knows that he's the
fire preventing bear.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Smokey the Bears. Why do you say barely.

Speaker 7 (03:16):
And a sniff in the Oh? Yeah, yes, he can
find a fire okay before it starts the flame. That's
why they call him Smokey.

Speaker 6 (03:24):
That was how he got Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
Isn't that a great song?

Speaker 8 (03:27):
No?

Speaker 6 (03:28):
I said, you need to look up the word great.

Speaker 9 (03:31):
Did you guys notice the quality? I think somebody took
the time to remaster that. Yeah, actually, extraordinarily, it's unbelievably clear.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
You ever being consider a thousand.

Speaker 10 (03:44):
Yourself considering it? Yeah, barely recording equipment barely existed.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Nineteen fifty two. The directly to the wax. No, but
you're it is a seventy five years. It's a great recording.

Speaker 9 (03:56):
Yeah, never take someone's keeping that alive and well some
of the taking care of that. Someone loves it.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
What year? What year was that?

Speaker 6 (04:04):
Fifty two?

Speaker 4 (04:05):
Maybe no one's played it, that's why there's the scratch.
I think it's a great song, and I love Gene
Autry does that great song back in the Saddle again?

Speaker 10 (04:13):
Sure, bear song was mastered in wax. I'll tell you that.
I am right, Josh, you're right. Listen to the beginning.
Listen to how clean this fiddle is.

Speaker 6 (04:23):
Any reason it's perfect.

Speaker 7 (04:28):
Weather rain?

Speaker 4 (04:29):
Is that there are no pops? Or is that an
accordion playing with them? Let me hear me. I think it's.

Speaker 7 (04:39):
Weather range of dung.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
Maybe an old organ meeting.

Speaker 6 (04:46):
Yeah, there's an old organ. Oh yeah, but it's nice.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
It's good. It's a fun song, those melodica things. Yeah.
And it's important to obviously to prevent forest fires. Sure, yeah,
just remember only you can prevent them.

Speaker 10 (04:58):

Imprinted on you, I can.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
Oh yeah, in any event, So it's a Smoky Bear.
But we'll accept Smoky the Bear in case you were wondering.

Speaker 9 (05:39):
I I want to say, whenever somebody brings it up,
I want to say, Smokey the Bear.

Speaker 6 (05:42):
What are you, guys?

Speaker 9 (05:44):

you do that? My friends? Is that in a fraternity
house somewhere? Maybe? Okay, all right, guess where we are now?

Speaker 6 (06:15):
That's right?

Speaker 4 (06:16):
Stupid world record.

Speaker 6 (06:22):
I liked it.

Speaker 9 (06:23):
You let that one breathe a little. Oh yeah.

Speaker 10 (06:26):
The world's oldest person celebrated her one hundred and sixteenth
birthday last week.

Speaker 6 (06:33):
What Asian country is she from?

Speaker 10 (06:35):
Ah ha ha ha mss Ethel Caterham Asian lives in
Surrey in the UK and top if you call it living.
I bet I don't think there's any fringe.

Speaker 6 (06:49):
Do you want to go check that?

Speaker 4 (06:51):
No, she's one hundred and sixteen one.

Speaker 10 (06:53):
Hundred and sixteen. She was born August twenty first, nineteen
o nine. She's held the record since April thirtieth.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (07:03):
There's a company called l O N G E V
I West. I don't know what that is, Tom, can you?

Speaker 4 (07:13):
I believe they keep track of the folks that are
over what Churchill tasted like?

Speaker 6 (07:21):
I you know what Churchill told me?

Speaker 4 (07:25):
I hang on one second eighteen plus okay you have
to say, yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll see nineteen or nine
plus eighteen. You know, Rory, you're okay. You know what
Churchill told her? Though never give up, got out, never

(07:46):
never spit up. There she is. I will bet a
thousand dollars those are dentures. Looks like Bobby the brain heena.

Speaker 6 (08:00):
It tad manish.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Yes, well, yeah, I thought it was that. She's a
nice smile. I love ittites she's British and old. Those
are dentures that there is no way.

Speaker 10 (08:15):
And then we get one of these after this, of course,
once asked to reveal her secret to long life.

Speaker 9 (08:21):
We think that was a portrait of her, our picture
of her just being happy, But she's frozen in that fact.
It's actually quite unsettling when you're in person.

Speaker 10 (08:29):
She does not move a muscle, but doctors, doctors confirmed
she is alive. Missus Ms Caterham told the Salisbany Journals
say yes to every opportunity because you never know what
it will lead to. Never give off and have a
positive metal attitude and have everything in moderation look good
for her. Moderation, Tom, that's key, that's fair, positivity and moderation.

Speaker 6 (08:54):
I like, right, that's right.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
As an old lady. Well, I have a little tribute lady.
Oh nice, I thought you might under how old is she?
One hundred and sixteen hundred sixteen?

Speaker 8 (09:04):
Okay, at one point she was one two three fold
she was just one hundred and sixteen. Imagine what she's
seen or dipers full? Oh at this point, she don't
care O, my goodness, she's probably a great great great

(09:24):
great grandmother.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
Well, she loves her we old chair.

Speaker 8 (09:33):
She's the oldest person by far, even older than joy
be Ha.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
She loves a fugitive dragonet mister ed.

Speaker 8 (09:45):
If she could dance, she'd probably to the freddy whoa
poor thing crab?

Speaker 4 (09:53):
The right I had to say it rung? Oh wow, okay, well,
thank you very much. Pat. What's her name again? Ethel
Ethel caterham Ethel caterham Ethel Happy birthday, one hundred and
sixteen years of British food, and she's still alive. Right,
if you're just joining us, those that have been listening

(10:16):
are armed with some important facts. Miss Hooker, I'm not
sure if you're aware of this. So we got to
the bottom of is it Smoky Bear or Smokey the Bear?

Speaker 10 (10:25):
Oh?

Speaker 11 (10:25):
What did you decide?

Speaker 4 (10:26):
Oh, it's not a matter of our deciding. It is
officially Smoky Bear.

Speaker 11 (10:31):
Okay, It really is a matter of you deciding. Not
really when it comes to you. Yes, yes, you would
tell us if it was wrong.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
But Smoky the Bear was the song. Okay, by do
you remember that song? I don't gene autry.

Speaker 9 (10:47):
So it's officially Smoky Bear. Culturally acceptable to say Smoky
the Bear.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
Okay, it was it was a song from gene Autry
and from before I was even born. But it's not
a bad song.

Speaker 7 (10:59):
Always Smith and at the Breeze recognize this voice. Attention
twenty tells him to beware.

Speaker 10 (11:05):
Because every Joes you recognized the fire prevent gene Autry's voice.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
Smoky the Bear nice. I don't remember his voice, and,
as Josh pointed out, an unbelievably clear recording, really something, yeah, yeah,
really well, someone cared for it.

Speaker 10 (11:22):
And in nineteen seventy three I would have been sixteen
and I saw this BSA for Smokey the Bear.

Speaker 6 (11:29):
Oh please, it's peaceful requiet. That's Johannas. This is what
she looked like for seventy thriest. But isn't here.

Speaker 5 (11:38):
We start forest fires a careless match, cigarette and puff fire,
so the next time you're in the forest.

Speaker 4 (11:46):
The extra carel Okay, Okay, she's hot.

Speaker 11 (11:49):
That's really weird.

Speaker 6 (11:50):

you listening?

Speaker 4 (11:57):
There? They do Lookie bear Sacks. They did the thing.
You know, she's this gorgeous woman and yeah, turns out
a Smokey the Bear in Dioski.

Speaker 11 (12:06):
They did one in the eighties and I can't remember
who it was, but it was similar. Yeah, I don't
know who.

Speaker 10 (12:11):
Actually this is where nineteen seventy three shows. Yeah, that's
the best. Yeah, he was almost a.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
Puppet, you know. I smoke you the bear. You know,
why smoke you the bear who never became a father?
Why every time miss is the smokey got hot, he'd
hit her with a shovel.

Speaker 10 (12:30):
If he knew that, right, I'd always heard that. I
haven't heard that joke as domestic abuse friendly. I heard
maybe her is what i'd heard. No, no, I never
hit her with a shovel. He's got a shovel, you see.
I mean, I'm certainly not endorsing domestic abuse.

Speaker 4 (12:50):
No, certainly not. But they were married though. At least
it's good. It's good to know that, you know they're
doing the nasty, at least that they're they're they're technically they're.

Speaker 6 (12:59):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
So sorry, we were visiting the sports base. Remember the.

Speaker 9 (13:04):
Give a hoot don't pollute owl? Yeah, what a woodsy
thank you. I was just gonna ask what was his name?
I wasn't sure. Yeah, I like to think they're all
friends and woodsy and what was the slogan? Give a hoot.
Don't you remember that? Don't you all pretty good programs.

Speaker 6 (13:22):
You don't care for give a hoot?

Speaker 4 (13:23):
No, no, I like it. I was just trying to
think of a variation of that anti domestic abuse, don't
hit give at the Madison happened to be poorly, can't.
I can't really think deep enough to go. I'm sorry.

(13:43):
Did you have another world record?

Speaker 6 (13:45):
Yeah? I did?

Speaker 4 (13:47):
Let's do that.

Speaker 6 (13:50):
From Cyprus has.

Speaker 4 (13:52):
Uh Cypriot, Cyprian, Cypriot.

Speaker 10 (13:55):
He's reclaimed a Guinness World record for the most wine
glasses balanced on his and.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
I protest this record?

Speaker 7 (14:02):
You do?

Speaker 4 (14:04):
Do we have any video in this sixty four.

Speaker 5 (14:06):
Year old fair it's it's on a piece of cardboard
or something or would.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (14:13):
It's still pretty tricky. I know how much my got away?
Does it say how much it weigh?

Speaker 6 (14:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (14:18):
Oh yeah, okay, sixty four year old eris Stotlus.

Speaker 6 (14:24):
Syphilis. I don't know, Dallas his first name.

Speaker 4 (14:27):
It's not Aristotle, it's Aristotelis. You're right, aristotristotlus vella.

Speaker 10 (14:31):
ALRIGHTA yes, Levoris something five hundred and eleven glasses on
his head weigh to total.

Speaker 6 (14:38):
One hundred and thirty nine pounds.

Speaker 7 (14:40):
Whoa.

Speaker 10 (14:41):
The glasses were stacked layer by a layer on sheets
of plywood before the tower was raised onto his head
via a fork lift.

Speaker 6 (14:47):
I see that seems cheating.

Speaker 5 (14:49):
That doesn't seem fair.

Speaker 4 (14:51):
It was on his head for fifteen seconds. Then did
he drop it? That's what I wanted, right?

Speaker 7 (14:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (14:57):
Does he just kind of step out from under it?

Speaker 7 (15:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (15:00):
I don't know, because I would assume the video would
go massively viral. Should all those glasses, he probably just
walks back into the.

Speaker 11 (15:08):
Yeah, a towel between his head and the and the world.

Speaker 4 (15:12):
Looks like something white there. Yeah, I think discounts.

Speaker 6 (15:16):
That's heavy. It's uh heavy?

Speaker 5 (15:18):
Yeah, Okay.

Speaker 6 (15:20):
The headlines a tad mis leading, yes, that's all.

Speaker 4 (15:24):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (15:25):
Un necessary.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
And there's no wine in them, Christie, so no need
for you to attend.

Speaker 10 (15:33):
Can you imagine the weight if there had been wine.
In Christie's defense, he didn't call you a whino, No, just.

Speaker 4 (15:41):
Yeah. But I mean you're pretty good at balancing drinking
wine and being too hung over the work.

Speaker 5 (15:50):
I was out last night, went to a concert, had
a glass of wine.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
If you hate with the owls, your rise with the
wood chucks.

Speaker 6 (15:57):
He's right, he is right, Yes, in my house?

Speaker 4 (16:01):
What is that?

Speaker 2 (16:02):
What is that?

Speaker 6 (16:02):
What does that mean?

Speaker 4 (16:03):
Exact's the male cop Okay.

Speaker 6 (16:05):
Rise with the woodchucks.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
If you hoo with the owls, your rise with the woodchucks.
In other words, if you're gonna go out at night,
get up and do your juice. Still got to get
up you I did. I'm okay right, good to see,
I'm not hung over.

Speaker 6 (16:17):
Happy to have you. You have a box of wine
in your refrigerator right now.

Speaker 11 (16:20):

Like the frosy you froll, the Kirkling brand.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
Boxe what is it like?

When my kids see box wine they call it Grandma juice.

Speaker 4 (16:40):
Oh, that really does holds a lot of wine.

Speaker 6 (16:44):

Speaker 4 (16:45):
And then if you take out that bladder and give
it a good squeak the dregs.

Speaker 12 (16:49):
They have bags that you can take that bladder out
and put it in and it looks like a purse
and it has an opening in the spout where the
spout goes, so you can walk into places with your bags.

We heard a noise. That's all I know. Anyway.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
Sorry, if I was passing, guess I would have leaned
like all right. Well, in any event, the cost of
that key would have purchased hundreds of cases.

Speaker 11 (18:18):
It was solid gold.

Speaker 6 (18:19):
Yes, it was.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
Oh my gosh, that's interesting. I haven't seen one of

like squeegee it so they get the very last drop?

Speaker 12 (18:55):

Speaker 5 (19:02):
Yeah, yeah, the bladder's inside the box.

There's a spout on the bladder that comes out of
a pre cut hole in the bag.
