Speaker 1: my hometown, Cleveland. Cleveland is all decorated for the Sesqui Centennial.
Speaker 1: Nice way of cleaning your teeth, Yes, sir, there are
Speaker 1: signs everywhere saying one hundred and fifty years old. I'm
Speaker 1: still trying to catch the guy who put them all
Speaker 1: under my pictures. We had a wonderful plane trip in
Speaker 1: here on the constellation, the Constellation that Buck Rodgers' dream
Speaker 1: come true. We claimed across in the Stratusphere in factory
Speaker 1: so high w CPOs flue escort for us all the
Speaker 1: way to Kansas day the water trip over the rockies.
Speaker 1: The steward to serve lunch. I said, why pepperman sticks
Speaker 1: for lunch. He said, that's celery. Your nose is bleeding.
Speaker 1: And once I looked out of the window and I
Speaker 1: saw a guy pulling by in midair. I said, hey,
Speaker 1: what are you doing out there without a parachute? And
Speaker 1: he said, I don't need one. I'm rayma land. But
Speaker 1: I had a wonderful trip. I didn't feel a thing
Speaker 1: until we landed at Cleveland, and the steward has helped
Speaker 1: me out from under my seat. When we flew in
Speaker 1: over the city and I saw Cleveland, lump came in
Speaker 1: my thought. It was that apple. I tried to swallow
Speaker 1: over albuquer, but I want to sell it that Consolation
Speaker 1: has got every accommodation. In fact, when you're ready for breakfast,
Speaker 1: you stick your hand out the window and an eagle
Speaker 1: lays a fresh egg in it. The pilot kept saying
Speaker 1: the plane was as comfortable as your living room, and
Speaker 1: he was right. Although I did feel sorry for the
Speaker 1: saxophone player who opened the door and stepped out after
Speaker 1: the milk. And when we arrived here at Cleveland, what
Speaker 1: crowds at the airport. The police had the ropes stuff,
Speaker 1: but I demanded a trial first. Why but I love
Speaker 1: this old time at Cleveland. Somehow, even the wind off
Speaker 1: the lake doesn't seem as cold as it used to be.
Speaker 1: Of course, I've got underwear now. I've got a brother
Speaker 1: here in the whtel meat business. He had trouble with shortages,
Speaker 1: but he's getting plenty of meat now. The Cleveland Indians
Speaker 1: are selling Marlaroe ball players, and a fist speaker's listening.
Speaker 1: I'm only kidding. A good portion of my family still
Speaker 1: lives no high. I got a brother doing fine down
Speaker 1: a tent, and another one doing five at Columbus IM.
Speaker 1: When I left Cleveland ten years ago, my father said,
Speaker 1: I go a long way. In fact, he nail the
Speaker 1: door of the box car shut just to make sure.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: I lived in the neighborhood here where the people were
Speaker 1: poor than church mice, and you know church mice used
Speaker 1: to be awfully poor, And so Crosby made going my way.
Speaker 1: I liked that personally, and I went back and paid
Speaker 1: the visits in my old schoolroom and sat in my
Speaker 1: old ass and there was the same old ink, well,
Speaker 1: the same old books, and the same old shaving kids.
Speaker 1: They're very proud of me out of Sparamont School. In fact,
Speaker 1: on my old ass is a bronze Plaquta, said Bob Hope,

Speaker 1: that didn't make any difference. The day wasn't your day
Speaker 1: to breed anyway, or.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: But it's almost unbelievable, Skinny that the Consolation could bring
Speaker 1: us some Los Angeles here in eleven hours and forty minutes.
Speaker 1: Oh but it didn't take eleven hours and forty minutes,
Speaker 1: did it? Oh? Yeah, seven hours from California to Cleveland
Speaker 1: and four hours through traffic from the airports to the
Speaker 1: Carter Hotel. You did it in the bus iwas in anyways, Hey,

Speaker 1: Not bad, but I was a little cramped. Cramped. You
Speaker 1: shouldn't have been. I thought you'd be very comfortable in there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but those golf clubs take up a lot of room
Speaker 1: in the bag too. And understand it, I took the
Speaker 1: putter off, by the way, scam say, while we're in Cleveland,
Speaker 1: I'd like to show you the street I was born
Speaker 1: on street. What's the matter? Could you put a hospital? Well,
Speaker 1: in those days they had long traffic signals. But you know, Sam,
Speaker 1: you know they even named the street after me here
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. So they named the street after me in
Speaker 1: North Carolina too, I know, but mine's not a dead end.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: How can you stand there with your hat off and
Speaker 1: say that? How can you said with your hat off?

Speaker 1: at the airport, seeing Major Burr and seeing all those

Speaker 2: Gunning up and kissing that one man?
Speaker 1: Why you wouldn't understand, Francis, You didn't have a draft
Speaker 1: for it? No? Really, no, really, he was the mayor.
Speaker 1: It wasn't it nice for him to get into the
Speaker 1: keys of the city.
Speaker 4: Yes, he thought, he said, he thought that would be best.
Speaker 1: You thought that would be best?
Speaker 5: After you laugh last time.
Speaker 1: It was so much trouble digging those hairpins out of all.
Speaker 3: The lot.
Speaker 1: That shouldn't have been me. I'm a paper cliff man.
Speaker 4: Where it must have been interesting looking up the old
Speaker 4: landmarks you used to know.

Speaker 1: pleasure for me to appear with one of America's most
Speaker 1: talented personalities. No wonder this guy's governor. Oh you didn't
Speaker 1: have to say that, Governor. I know, Bob, but in
Speaker 1: my business of voters a vote, Governor, you must really
Speaker 1: be popular here. I even saw a Republican applauding.
Speaker 2: I'm amazed.
Speaker 1: I'm amazed you saw a Republican applaud It wasn't exactly applauding.
Speaker 1: He was plicking two bricker buttons together. The Governor, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you it was really decent to you to consent
Speaker 1: to appear in our program. It's all right, Bob. I
Speaker 1: don't run for re election until next fall, and by
Speaker 1: that time the public might forget you. Bring a writer
Speaker 1: up from Columbus, Ddica. By the way, Governor, don't you
Speaker 1: think that you could find me some sort of a
Speaker 1: political job. You know, radio is pretty shaky, and you
Speaker 1: never know when the sponsor is liable to turn the
Speaker 1: power off. You know, well right at the moment, Bob,
Speaker 1: I don't mean anything, big governor, just a little something
Speaker 1: in the day coach of the official gravy train, sort
Speaker 1: of a small pig's knuckle in the old park barrel. Princess,
Speaker 1: How about me going to banquets with him sneering back
Speaker 1: at the Republicans? Bob, please, you have the wrong idea
Speaker 1: entirely in Ohio we always play ball with the Republican
Speaker 1: You play ball with the Republicans. Yes, of course, we
Speaker 1: make sure they don't stick in too much time up
Speaker 1: at back. But Bob, you haven't lived in Cleveland for
Speaker 1: ten years, have you? No? I haven't. And you've made
Speaker 1: pretty good money now, don't you? Well? Not bad? What
Speaker 1: about it? Well, Bob, I have a lot of influence,
Speaker 1: but I regret to say after this year, I'll have
Speaker 1: to stop your relief kids. Well, summer's coming, and I
Speaker 1: can always reopen my frozen custard booth at Duplid Beach. Anyway,
Speaker 1: go tell me confidentially, is that rumor true that you
Speaker 1: have ambitions to get to the White House? Why, Bob,
Speaker 1: how did a rumor like that ever? Scott? Last week

Speaker 1: I guess you've been pretty busy since you arrived here,
Speaker 1: haven't you. Yes, I haven't even had time to see

Speaker 1: be here for the National Golf Open at Canda? Oh? No,
Speaker 1: you you can't rope me into a game after that
Speaker 1: last game we played. Oh I see, you're just jealous
Speaker 1: because I won. Oh no, wonder you can't beat a governor.
Speaker 1: What do you mean by that? Well, when I made
Speaker 1: that hole in run, the police commissioner ran over, shoved
Speaker 1: the machine gun in my face and said, what a
Speaker 1: wonderful shot the governor just made. Now let's see what
Speaker 1: you can do. That's more than I can stand. I
Speaker 1: give up. Well, Bob, I want to thank you sincerely
Speaker 1: for bringing your show back here to Cleveland, and to
Speaker 1: add another word of thanks for the many things you've
