Kicker: Bear hits the pool

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: Well, it’s been really, really hot and you can’t blame a fella for trying to cool off.

So small wonder police got a call reporting a bear lolling around in the backyard swimming pool!

POLICE RADIO: I don’t blame him…

BROWN: Not any old swimming pool, either, but one in Burbank, California! The local police department posted a video of the grizzly to Facebook. He (or she) is seen casually sitting in the blue water, with his front leg and paw resting on the side…. Just chillin’

POLICE RADIO:  Smile for me gentlemen…

BROWN: The bear wasn’t impressed with all the attention, so it left, rolled over a wall and climbed into a nearby tree…where it took a nap.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Sounds like a beary good vacation!

BROWN: It’s The World and Everything in It.
