[theme music] ANNOUNCER: Now let's get the game started.
Here's the host of The Pennsylvania Game, Scott Bruce.
Hey.
Sweater talk.
Haha.
Oh, you guys are doing great.
Love that sweater.
Thanks for joining us in the studio.
Thanks for joining us at home.
We've got one more exciting game of The Pennsylvania Game coming at you right now.
I'm so excited.
I'm all a Twitter.?
And here's why I'm a twitter.
Look at these fabulous panelists.
Let's meet them right now.
He's a veteran radio personality of 22.5 years.
[laughs] SCOTT BRUCE: Please give a warm welcome to Bruce Bond, host of the Bruce Bond Late Afternoon Show on Wink 104 in Harrisburg.
Let's hear it for Bruce.
Hello.
[applause] [chuckles] It's late.
Terri Dowdy is manager of capital and space planning at Penn State.
She's a gospel vocalist and youth choir director.
Say hello to Terri Dowdy.
[applause] Hi, Terri.
Joining us also from the Bruce Bond Late Afternoon Show, it's Stretch.
He's a cohost on the show on Wink 104 in Harrisburg.
He's also a member of an organization that promotes awareness to cruelty of parrots.
Let's welcome Stretch, ladies and gentlemen.
[applause] We have such a jam-packed show.
We're wasting no time.
Let's start with a question now.
ANNOUNCER: In 1998, Philadelphia investor Ted Benna moved to Bellefonte, where he launched an innovative comic book series designed for novice investors.
But Ted Benna is best known for something he did in 1980.
Is he A, father of the 401(k) plan; B, inventor of the first mutual fund; C, responsible for causing a stock market run on January 7, 1981; or D, winner of the state's largest lottery payoff?
SCOTT BRUCE: Becoming the fastest dresser in America.
Ladies and gentlemen, what in the heck was this?
Was he the father of the 401(k) plan, inventor of the first mutual fund responsible for causing a stock market run on January 7, 1981, or winner of the state's largest lottery payoff?
Could be exciting.
Bruce, we'll go to you first.
What do you think?
I'm a big lottery fan.
I know a lot about the lottery ever since the beginning.
And I know this to be true, winner of the state's largest lottery payoff.
SCOTT BRUCE: Boy, and you've said it with such conviction.
Oh.
I'm just going to so enjoy when you're wrong.
Terri.
Well, I hope he's not wrong because that's what I picked too, D. SCOTT BRUCE: Oh, we have two lotteries.
Uh-oh.
I see a sneaking pattern going on here.
What is it, Stretch?
What do you think?
Well, as a member of the stock market, please, by AOL and Abercrombie & Fitch, I went with C. He charged the market up.
I don't know how.
SCOTT BRUCE: Charged the market up.
OK. No lottery tickets for everyone, even though lottery tickets were the answer.
Let's find out what the real answer is.
ANNOUNCER: The answer is A, father of the 401(k).
In 1980, Ted Benna was a partner in the Philadelphia benefits consulting firm Johnson Companies when he devised the 401(k) retirement savings plan for a client.
Today, more than 28 million employees or half of the US workforce take advantage of the tax-deferred savings plans available only through employers.
US investments in 401(k) plans are valued in excess of $1 trillion.
But to reach the other half of the private workforce-- those retiring with only Social Security benefits-- Benna created 401 Komics.
Name to Money Magazine's money Hall of Fame for creating the 401(k) plan, Benna is president of 401(k) Association, his Bellefonte company, which publishes and markets the educational comic book series to guide would-be investors through the retirement planning maze.
[applause] Absolutely impossible to sit at home and watch this show and not learned something.
I like that.
Let's learn something new.
ANNOUNCER: In 1950, Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower purchased a farm in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
The working farm was a weekend retreat and served as the temporary White House while President Eisenhower recovered from his first heart attack.
What else was newsworthy about the Gettysburg farm, A, Eisenhower raised a herd of prizewinning Angus cattle; B, crops raised here were used to help feed Russian peasants; C, Mister Ed, the horse in the 1960 TV sitcom, was bred here; or D, a local prankster grew marijuana in their cornfields?
SCOTT BRUCE: Put nothing past us here at The Pennsylvania Game.
What else was newsworthy?
Did Eisenhower raise a herd of prizewinning Angus cattle, and there they are now.
We have them here with us in the studio.
Were the crops raised here used to help feed Russian peasants?
Mister Ed, the horse in the '60 TV sitcom, was he bred there, or a local prankster grew some pot there, huh?
What do you think?
We're going to go to you, Terri.
Well, I've always liked the Mister Ed show.
I'm going with Mister Ed.
SCOTT BRUCE: Go with Mister Ed.
(MISTER ED IMPERSONATON) Oh, Wilbur.
Stretch, what do you think?
Well, no one was growing pot there, and B is a bunch of crap because we weren't friends with the Russians then.
So it's definitely A. SCOTT BRUCE: You're going with A-- Yeah.
SCOTT BRUCE: --the Angus cattle.
STRETCH: Yep.
We're going to see if we can get you another moo later on.
What do you think, Bruce?
Scott, I, too, am going with A.
And to this day, Gettysburg is very well known for its Angus cattle.
SCOTT BRUCE: Oh, people who seem to be in the know.
Were they right, or is Terri right?
Let's find out.
ANNOUNCER: The answer is A.
President Eisenhower raised a herd of prizewinning Angus cattle there.
Stationed at Gettysburg during World War I, Eisenhower loved the small towns and rolling hills of Pennsylvania.
In 1950, in anticipation of retirement, the Eisenhowers purchased the Allen Redding farm adjoining Gettysburg National Military Park.
Eisenhower began raising purebred Angus cattle intent on improving the breed.
He soon had a prizewinning herd, while President Eisenhower eagerly shared his enthusiasm for the farm with guests such as Nikita Khrushchev and Winston Churchill, who were treated to a personal tour.
Open to the public and operated by the National Park Service, today, Eisenhower farm is a National Historic Site.
[applause] As a matter of fact, crops from Eisenhower farm never fed poor Russian peasants.
In fact, General Eisenhower once said, the only way crops would leave the farm was on the hoof.
The only way they're getting out.
All right, enough of that.
Let's meet our panel a little more closely.
Bruce Bond, I've got a note here that I didn't know about you, and I've known you for a long time.
Yes.
Mm-hmm.
Your passion is watching movies.
I understand you've seen 150 movies this year.
At least, yes.
SCOTT BRUCE: At least?
Mm-hmm.
SCOTT BRUCE: And why is stretch laughing his little tail off?
Because he's a loser.
Because he gets really tired of me talking about it all the time.
It's a real passion, and I really love it.
And I go all the time.
SCOTT BRUCE: Well, good for you.
I like movies myself, and it's a good thing we have Terri to separate the two of you.
[laughter] Terri-- Dangerous over there.
--now this is I found fascinating.
It's your ambition to become the first person to perform the national anthem live in Beaver Stadium.
No one's ever done that before?
No one's ever done it.
SCOTT BRUCE: Oh, my God.
This is great.
So you'll be the first one.
Now, isn't that a rather difficult song to sing?
TERRI DOWDY: That's what everyone has told me, but I haven't found it to be so.
SCOTT BRUCE: (SINGING) And the rocket's red-- TERRI DOWDY: OK. OK. TERRI DOWDY: [chuckles] Me and Roseanne all sit on the sidelines.
All right, Stretch, we're going down here.
I just found out you're engaged to be married.
No, it's off.
SCOTT BRUCE: It's off?
Yeah, I canceled it.
Yeah.
SCOTT BRUCE: You canceled it?
Yeah.
SCOTT BRUCE: You canceled it, or she canceled it?
I canceled it.
It just wasn't working out.
SCOTT BRUCE: It just wasn't working out?
Yeah.
SCOTT BRUCE: Was it a human?
Yes.
[chuckles] Yes, it was.
SCOTT BRUCE: [chuckles] Good.
I'm glad to hear that, Stretch.
All right.
Well, good luck in your future endeavors.
Let's jump back into the game and have a new question.
ANNOUNCER: Mount Union, Pennsylvania, named for the union of mountains that occurs at that spot, sits on the banks of the Juniata River, about an hour's drive southeast of Altoona.
The town is unique for a large African American population in a traditionally Anglocentral Pennsylvania.
Mount Union's African American community originated primarily because of A, jobs in the explosives and silica brick industries during World War I; B, the town's location on the northern end of the Underground Railroad; C, an early settlement of ex-slaves attracted to the farmland; or D, its location near Altoona, a burgeoning railroad town?
SCOTT BRUCE: This is what I'm talking about.
You learn on this show.
I love this question.
Mount Union's African American community originated primarily because of jobs in the explosives and silica brick industries during World War I-- and there they go now.
I think we just blew a brick-- the town's location on the northern end of the Underground Railroad; an early settlement of ex-slaves attracted to the farmland; and its location near Altoona, a burgeoning railroad town?
Stretch, we're going down to you first.
What do you think?
I'm going to go with B, although I thought the Underground Railroad went further north.
But that's my answer.
SCOTT BRUCE: OK, you're going with B, Underground Railroad.
Nice answer.
Bruce, what do you have?
BRUCE BOND: I just picked one, C, an early settlement of ex-slaves.
I don't know.
SCOTT BRUCE: Absolutely no guess whatsoever?
No.
SCOTT BRUCE: All right.
Terri, let's see if you can do better than that.
Well, just because I'm an African American, I actually really don't know the answer.
SCOTT BRUCE: Wait, are you going to African American?
But I'm going to go with B. Yeah.
SCOTT BRUCE: They don't tell me anything.
[chuckles] SCOTT BRUCE: What did you pick?
B?
So you went with the Underground Railroad?
So we have two Underground Railroads.
And we have Bruce, and we have a bunch of wrong panelists.
What else is new?
ANNOUNCER: The answer is A, ample work to be found there in the explosives and silica brick industries during World War I. Folklorist Cummins McNitt writes in his 1987 history thesis, "The History of the Black Community of Mt.
Union, Pennsylvania, Is This a Jim Crow Place?"
that though rumors abound that Mount Union owes its Black population to the Underground Railroad, the current population arises primarily from the workers who migrated to the city starting in 1906 to find jobs in war-driven industries such as explosives and brick manufacturing which flourished in the area.
[applause] These people make me laugh.
You guys should see the show that you don't see.
That would be the great part.
Let's check our scores and see where we stand.
It looks like Bruce has a point.
Terri, not quite up on the scoreboard yet with a 0.
And Stretch with 1 point.
It's a tie on the top, though.
Give them around of applause, kids.
1 to 0 to 1.
OK. Our first clue in the Mystery Pennsylvanian.
Pens ready.
Here it comes.
Born in Pittsburgh-- and I think I'll just warn you at home along with our panelists.
It's a toughie.
Born in Pittsburgh in 1928, this classical pianist recently turned his talents to composing.
Born in Pittsburgh in 1928, this classical pianist recently turned his talents to composing.
Stretch has that look of, I don't have the foggiest idea.
That's a look we try to cultivate here on The Pennsylvania Game.
And it brings us to the end of our time, so we're going to have to move along and ask a new question.
ANNOUNCER: The Liberty Bell in Philadelphia's Independence Hall is one of our most treasured symbols.
Originally used to call town meetings, sound fire alarms, and told important events, it was first known as A, Old Independence; B, Dumb Bell; C, Hell's Bell; or D, the Jubilee Bell?
SCOTT BRUCE: Whoo, bells, bells.
bells.
What was the Liberty Bell first known as?
Was it Old Independence?
Was it Dumb Bell, Hell's Bell, or the Jubilee Bell?
We're going to go to Bruce first on this one.
I worked in Allentown many years ago in my career, and the bell had gone through that part of the country.
So the Jubilee Bell, they called it when that happened.
ANNOUNCER: The Jubilee Bell?
Yeah.
SCOTT BRUCE: You know what I like best about your answers?
BRUCE BOND: Yes.
You act like you know.
I like that.
That's wonderful.
Terri.
Just wait.
TERRI DOWDY: Well, he's got a good reason for his answer, but I don't.
But I went with the Jubilee Bell.
SCOTT BRUCE: So we have two Jubilee Bells.
And Stretch is trying to run back to his answer.
That's good.
As long as it was before the second clue.
I know.
And I-- SCOTT BRUCE: And what is your answer?
Old Independence.
That's definitely the answer.
It's an Independence Hall.
SCOTT BRUCE: A, Old Independence.
They all seem to know what they're talking about.
Let's find out.
ANNOUNCER: The answer is A, Old Independence or Bell of the Revolution.
Made in London in 1752 and weighing 2,080 pounds, the bell cracked when it was first rung in America.
It was recast in Philadelphia twice, the first time to remove the crack and the second to improve the sound.
It would toll important events for the next 82 years.
In 1772, residents near Independence Hall complained that the bell's loud vibrations could be fatal to the sick.
The bell again cracked in 1835 and was only rarely rung thereafter.
It came to be called the Liberty Bell in the 1840s when the American Anti-Slavery Society used it as a symbol of freedom.
In 1852, the bell was removed from its tower and placed on exhibit, attracting more than a million visitors each year.
[applause] Ooh.
We learn.
We learn.
We learn.
Let's learn one more thing.
At one point, after souvenir hunters had chipped away 40 pounds of metal from the bell, it was displayed in a protective glass case.
So don't go taking parts of our bell, OK?
Let's have another question.
ANNOUNCER: Pittsburgh violinist Martha Curtis went to extremes to save her musical career.
Today, she receives requests to play before audiences nationwide.
Did she A, travel to war-torn Bosnia to conduct a concert; B, undergo three brain surgeries; C, have her fingers lengthened; or D, wear hand and wrist immobilizers except when playing the violin?
SCOTT BRUCE: Well, that's some extremes, huh?
What did she do?
Did she travel to war-torn Bosnia to conduct a concert?
Did she undergo three brain surgeries?
Did she have her fingers lengthened?
Or did she wear hand and wrist immobilizers except when playing the violin?
Terri, we'll go to you first.
Well, A has been a lucky letter for everybody else, so I'm going with A.
[chuckles] SCOTT BRUCE: You're going with A?
You're starting to get the hang of how we play the game here, aren't you?
Just pick one and throw it on out there.
Stretch, what do you have?
I think the people of Bosnia has more important things to worry about than the concert.
And based on the photo, she looked a little confused.
I don't know why.
But I went with B-- SCOTT BRUCE: The brain surgeries.
OK, very good answer, Stretch.
What do you have, Bruce?
Three brain surgeries-- SCOTT BRUCE: Three brains-- three brain surgeries.
You just can't pass that when you're a comedian, huh?
In fact, she would like walk to the airport, and people would make fun of her because she's wearing these funny things.
SCOTT BRUCE: Yeah?
Yeah.
SCOTT BRUCE: OK. We got two brain surgeries, and we got an A because it's the right answer, they think.
Let's find out.
ANNOUNCER: The answer is B.
She underwent three brain surgeries to end her epileptic seizures.
After her first grand mal episode at age three, doctors prescribed powerful drugs that stopped her seizures.
At age four, she started music and dance lessons.
Medication allowed Curtis to attend prestigious music schools in Michigan and New York, but the epilepsy worsened after graduation.
In one month, Curtis experienced four grand mal seizures, two of them on stage.
Risking grave disability or paralysis, Curtis underwent surgeries twice to remove damaged brain tissue, but the seizures returned.
Despite her doctor's misgivings, Curtis insisted on a third surgery to remove 45% of her right temporal lobe.
Her seizures vanished.
In 1998, Martha Curtis played solo in front of an orchestra for the first time in her career.
SCOTT BRUCE: Hey.
We got technical accidents happening all over behind the place.
Isn't that great?
OK, we got to check our scores.
Let's take a look at what we've got so far.
Bruce has 2 points.
Terri is still having a little trouble getting started with 0.
And Stretch has 3, leading right now.
Let's hear it for him.
Thank you.
SCOTT BRUCE: There you go, Stretch.
That means it's time for our next clue in the Mystery Pennsylvanian.
Get your pens ready.
Here we go.
Married to Maria Cooper, daughter of actor Gary Cooper, he is best known in the music world for his performances of Chopin.
Or Chopin, as we say, in Central Pennsylvania.
Married to Maria Cooper, daughter of actor Gary Cooper, he is best known in the music world for his performances of Chopin.
Born in Pittsburgh in 1928, this classical pianist recently turned his talents to composing.
And we've got some people writing, and we've got time to move on to a new question.
ANNOUNCER: Donald Drusky of East McKeesport was fired from his job in 1968 and has been filing lawsuits against his former employer ever since.
Drusky's latest strategy in his ongoing battle was to A, generate a petition to replace all federal judges; B, he and his grandson streaked naked in front of his employer's headquarters; C, sue God; or D, hire a voodoo priestess to put a curse on his former employer?
SCOTT BRUCE: Oh, we have questions on our show.
What did Dursky's latest strategy do there?
Did he generate a petition to replace all federal judges?
Did he and his grandson streak naked in front of his employer's headquarters?
Did he sue God?
Did he-- that's not a smart thing, is it?
Or did he hire a voodoo priestess to put a curse on his former employer?
Stretch, we're going down to you.
Voodoo.
SCOTT BRUCE: Nobody does voodoo like you do.
That's right.
SCOTT BRUCE: I'll tell you that.
Stretch has voodoo.
Very good answer.
How about you, Bruce?
BRUCE BOND: Yeah, Stretch is right because this guy was a fan of New Orleans and loved all that voodoo down there.
Yup.
SCOTT BRUCE: Ah, so you, too, do voodoo?
Yeah.
SCOTT BRUCE: I could be getting carried away.
Terri, what do you have?
I'm going with the more sane answer-- SCOTT BRUCE: More sane answer.
--generated a petition to replace the federal judges.
SCOTT BRUCE: Generated a petition.
That is a more sane answer, but it's not going to work on our show, right?
ANNOUNCER: The answer is C, he sued God.
Drusky unsuccessfully sued US Steel and the federal government when he was fired in 1968.
For 30 years, he has brought legal actions against his former employer.
Most recently, Drusky sued God.
Drusky claims that God, the supreme ruler of the universe, took no action against the church or the nation whose serious wrongs ruined his life.
Drusky is demanding that God return him his youth, grant him the music ability of famous guitarists, and resurrect his mother and pet pigeon.
Drusky argues that if God fails to appear in court, he loses by default.
Meanwhile, a US district judge dismissed his suit as frivolous.
Frivolous?
Frivolous?
Good luck, buddy.
OK, you know what?
We've got such a fun question coming up next.
I want to jump right at it.
Let's see it.
ANNOUNCER: M&M's, the milk chocolate that melts in your mouth, not in your hands, was developed more than 50 years ago under partnership between Mars and its archrival, Hershey's chocolate.
Who or what are M&M's named after, A, Mickey Mouse; B, the Roman numeral M, signifying the $1,000 each partner invested in the product; C, Mount McKinley; or D, executives of both Mars and Hershey?
SCOTT BRUCE: Ooh.
Who or what are M&M's named after?
Is it Mickey Mouse, the Roman numeral M, signifying $1,000; Mount McKinley; or executives of Mars and Hershey candy companies?
Bruce.
I'm going to go with that Roman numeral M. SCOTT BRUCE: Oh, the thousands.
I like that.
Yeah, that's my answer.
SCOTT BRUCE: It's a money answer.
I like it.
What do you think, Terri?
TERRI DOWDY: I like the money, too.
SCOTT BRUCE: Ooh, cash.
They're all going for cash.
If they all three go for cash, you know what that means, lottery tickets.
STRETCH: I know, and I love lottery tickets.
But I-- the Roman thing sounds right, but Milton Hershey, M, I'm going with the M&M-Mars Hershey M. SCOTT BRUCE: Ah, the Mars and Hershey.
You're going with the D. OK. Well, there you have it.
Let's find out if they've got it right.
ANNOUNCER: The answer is D. M&M's stands for Mars and Murrie, Forrest Mars, head of the family-owned Mars candy company, and Bruce Murrie, son of Hershey's longtime president.
Needing a partner to supply the chocolate, Forrest Mars took his idea of creating the candy-coated chocolates to William Murrie, who agreed to a limited partnership.
Murrie's son would put up 20% of the capital and serve as executive vice president of the new venture.
In 1940, M&M Limited opened for business.
Hershey's supplied the chocolate and technical assistance, and William Murrie used his government connections to prevent a wartime slowdown of candy production.
During World War II, The Air Force and Army were M&M's's best customers, buying the candy for their bomber pilots and soldiers, because they held up so well in tropical heat.
Although the Mars-Murrie partnership ended stormily in 1949, M&M's became Mars's best selling candy.
SCOTT BRUCE: OK. Mystery Pennsylvanian clue number three.
Here it comes.
He kept his crippling arthritis a secret for nearly 12 years, fearing that his playing would be judged by a different standard.
Kept his crippling arthritis a secret for nearly 12 years, fearing that his playing would be judged by a different standard.
Born in Pittsburgh in 1928, this classical pianist recently turned his talents to composing.
Married to Maria Cooper, daughter of actor Gary Cooper, he is best known in the music world for his performances of Chopin.
Everybody seems to be done.
And we're going to go down to Terri.
Terri, let's see what you've got written down.
Pop it up for us.
Well, the only real answer I have is Marvin Hamlisch, but I really have no idea.
SCOTT BRUCE: Marvin Hamlisch is in the middle?
He's gotten a lot of play this week, actually.
And you came up with a final answer of, I have no idea.
OK, Stretch, what do you have?
I really have no idea either, but I went with John Williams and then Danny Elfman and then John Williams again because they're all composers that I know.
SCOTT BRUCE: Ah.
Well, that's a very good reasoning right there.
STRETCH: And John Williams, he'd be 71, and he's an older guy.
SCOTT BRUCE: There you go.
Figured out the math on it.
They're trying to use logic.
What do you have, Bruce?
Let's go with Vladimir Horowitz.
SCOTT BRUCE: Vladimir Horowitz.
Of course, I think he's from another country, but.
[laughter] SCOTT BRUCE: Details.
We're not going to let a little thing like that bother us.
Are we, Wendy?
[piano playing] ANNOUNCER: Byron Janis, acclaimed concert pianist, was born Byron Yanks in Pittsburgh in 1928.
At age nine, he made his public debut in Pittsburgh's Carnegie Hall.
When an accident at age 10 permanently damaged his left pinkie., Janis learned to play around the disability.
In 1960, he was the first American pianist invited to play in the Soviet Union.
At 45 and in his prime, he contracted psoriatic arthritis, a painful inflammatory disease affecting his fingers and wrists.
He overcame his arthritis just as he did his childhood injury.
For 12 years, Janis kept his illness a secret from all but his wife and doctor.
Now living in New York City with his wife, Maria Cooper, Janis plays mostly benefit concerts and teaches.
In 1997, he won National Public Radio's Performance Today Award for his recording, Byron Janis plays Chopin, his first recording in 34 years.
Byron Janis, a famous Pennsylvanian.
Byron Janis.
Who knew?
Who knew?
I warned you it was a tough one.
I warned you it was a tough one.
Do you feel treated somehow, Bruce?
BRUCE BOND: Who is he?
Who is he?
Never heard of the guy.
He was that guy on the TV there.
Yeah, yeah.
That was the guy.
That was him.
But he's well known in Pennsylvania if you're a classical music person.
BRUCE BOND: I need to learn more about this state.
TERRI DOWDY: [laughs] SCOTT BRUCE: Possibly.
Let's check our scoreboard to see how we ended up.
Bruce ended up with 2 points.
Terri never quite got into the run.
0 is very good.
Yes, that's a winner of something.
It's what they told me.
SCOTT BRUCE: And Stretch has 4 points.
He's our new champion.
Let's hear it Lottery tickets.
[cheering, applause] We're going to give Terri a lottery ticket just for coming in with 0 points.
Wendy, tell him what he won.
ANNOUNCER: OK, Scott.
It's a hand-grained, handcrafted, custom mirror, compliments of Lush Brothers Furniture of State College and Galeton plus 50 chances to win $1,000 A Week For Life from the Pennsylvania Lottery.
TERRI DOWDY: Yes.
Now I can look at myself.
Lottery tickets, mirrors, it just doesn't get any better than that.
Folks, we certainly enjoyed our time with you today.
Please send questions to The Pennsylvania Game if you can.
