- They say that necessity is the mother of invention. This is true in a lot of cases. But in some cases, things are invented accidentally. This was the case in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Mr. Harvey will tell us more in this episode of "The Rest of the Story."

Thank you! A playlist of Paul Harvey is really what I need today. I know the past wasn’t perfect, but it seemed simpler. New sub!
Thank you very much for watching and subscribing. Listening to Mr. Harvey always reminds me that there is always hope. :)
I can’t get enough of hearing Mr. Harvey!! Thanks so much!!!!
I miss him, There will never ever be another Paul Harvey, those of us that Got to hear and I’m so lucky❤
We are very lucky to have heard him...and are very lucky his recordings still exist so future generations can enjoy them as well. :)
God I miss this man's simple stories. I remember well listening to this man 80 years ago on my Grandfather's radio. He was never fully accepted by his fellow enlightened broadcasters because he was Christian and he was not ashamed of it.
It's strange how just being a Christian can keep some people from recognizing talent. :)
I had a civics class in high school and the teacher used to play about 20 minutes or so of Paul Harvey every so often. Reel to reel tape.
I always enjoyed hearing Paul Harvey.
Thank you Mr. Dison.
You're very welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
That’s fascinating. A Frisbie pie tin was featured in the movie Back To The Future 3.
I had forgotten that. You're right. :)
There is no way I can thank you enough for keeping Paul Harvey alive for the young to not only learn from the past. But possibly helped in many things yet to be discovered. Great job WILDMAN.
I'm very glad to know that you're enjoying them. Mr. Harvey's broadcasts should be shared with future generations. There is so much we can learn from them. :)
I listened to this program with my Gramma back in the 60s. I loved them and I love it now.
I'm glad you're enjoying listening. I bet it brings back lots of memories. :)
I'm 74, and listened to Paul Harvey twice a day for a long time. He is sorely missed. He only had GOOD NEWS. Thank you for the rest of the rest of the story. I enjoyed it, and subscribed. Let's hear some more. God bless you and yours. 😊
Although I never met Mr. Harvey, like so many others, I feel like I knew him personally. I think that was his true talent. I'm glad you're enjoying "The Rest of the Rest of the Story." I have a lot more coming up. God bless you too, my friend. :)
Paul Harvey is surely missed today. It was a simpler time back in the days of my youth when we would turn on the radio to listen to Page Two and Now you know the rest of the Story. Thank you for sharing all these wonderful stories.
I'm very glad you're enjoying his broadcasts. He certainly was one of a kind. :)
When we had family reunions my cousin and I used to use cardboard paper plates to throw. We would throw right-side up and it would flip upright and sail along. I bought a Frisby in 1963 at the Dime Store for 99 cents plus one cent tax. I threw it like we did the plates but right side up. Wouldn't fly but few feet. Then I read the instructions on inside of Frisbee. Throwing back handed outwardly it flew smoothly. Since then I have learned to throw over handed like a baseball only with the Frisbee horizontal. Still love these things to this day.
I was never good at throwing backhanded. I couldn't control it. I still love playing frisbee. I'm glad this episode brought back good memories. :)
I've always enjoyed Paul Harvey! Thank you!
Thank you very much for watching and commenting. :)
I am glad you have taken up the mantle to keep Paul Harvey and "That's the Rest of the Story" alive for the younger generation. I know my generation and many others benefited from the knowledge bestowed on us from Paul Harvey. We need to continue the great things of America.
Mr. Harvey is responsible (in part) for me becoming a professional historian. I'm honored to have the ability to share his stories and to add a little something to them. :)
What a delightful presentation! Great job!
I'm very glad you enjoyed it. :)
They should bring re-runs of Paul back!
That would be great but I don't see that happening. This is the best we can do for now. :)
I knew the origin of the Frisbee came from the Frisbie pie company, but not much else.
Thanks for filling in all the details about the Frisbie Pie company and how Wham-O ended up marketing it as the Frisbee... I had never heard of the "Pluto Platter" until now.
On of my favorite books is "Extraordinary Origins of Everything Day Things", which chronicles the unusual and/or accidental origins of well known products. For example, the Slinky, Chewing Gum and Silly Putty, originating from efforts during WWII. The Slinky came from a program to develop a better damping system for Ship board compasses/instruments. It was a failure for that endeavor, but a naval mechanical engineer , saw it's potential as a toy, after seeing knocked off a shelf and observing its "walking" action. Chewing gum base and Silly Putty came from a WWII program trying to create synthetic rubber substitute for the war effort when the availability natural rubber started to become a issue, with the Japanese capturing the rubber producing Country/Islands of the pacific region.
I'm glad you enjoyed this one. Oh man. I'm ordering a copy of that book. Thank you for sharing the tip. :)
Whoa, what an industry it created!
Thanks for the follow up to the iconic Frisbee of the 1960s. I’d be more excited, but my dog thinks they’re food, not toys…
My dogs do the same thing. I throw it, they catch it, and run and chew. hahaha. :)
Working in a chemical plant in the 80s, we would listen to Pual every day at lunch. I really miss his broadcast.
I miss his broadcasts too. Luckily, someone had the forethought to record them so we can enjoy them today. :)
My Dad and I used to listen to Paul Harvey when I would be home (on school vacations) at noontime. He was always so interesting!
I'm glad this brought back fond memories of you and your dad. :)
Excellent will probably binge watch this one now
I'm very glad you enjoyed the episode. :)
This man was a human encyclopedia.
Yes he was. :)
Thank you for having this.. listening with my dad on Father's day and he loves it.
I'm glad y'all are enjoying it. I hope y'all have a wonder day. :)
Thanks, Fred. I appreciate these stories, just as in the past. God bless you in your endeavors.
Thank you, James. God bless you too, friend. :)
@@BradDison☝🏽😊👍🏽
Great video. I love how you keep the story going with even more details. BTW, I want a chocolate mousse pie now. 😂
Mmmm Chocolate mousse pie. I want one too. Thank you. :)
Now you've got me wanting one too! 😊
Hahah grew up in the nineties. But loved listening to ‘the rest of the story’. I’d make a point to get to it, much like after school cartoons for some 😂 Later in the later 2000’s when I had my own car I’d always change the radio over to AM and listen to Harvey’s stories. From vinyl cafe reminiscing to a little Harvey too.
Can’t say many if any kids were doing that at the time… and looks like I’m amongst a lot of pensioners here 😂 but I’m ok!
The stories were just so relaxing and I’m a collector of facts myself. Also have been 😁
I'm a little older than you and I'm sure I was the only kid at my school listening to Paul Harvey. My aunt and uncle always listened to him. I quickly became hooked and wanted to hear more. :)
Thanks again Mr. Dison for a great rest of the rest of the story! I was familiar with the pie tin origin, but your additional history just made it that much better! As always God bless you and yours. Thanks again for everything you do!! 🙏👍☺️
I'm very glad you enjoyed it. This one really did make me want some pie. Maybe this weekend. :) I hope you're doing well. God bless you too, my friend.
@@BradDison wish I were there to bake you one of my butter pecan pies! 👍☺️🤤
Excellent! Thank you!
I'm very glad you enjoyed watching. :)
You just keep surprising me, Brad.
For the longest time I've thought that I knew most of Paul Harvy's stories (even have several of his books), but you keep blowing me off my roost. That's a compliment, btw. Thanks.
I'm glad I've found some that you haven't heard. Thank you very much for the compliment. :)
Way to go Dan!
:)
Always enjoyed listening to this man. Usually was on the road listening to the radio.
I did too. He had such a wonderful voice and surely could tell a fine story. :)
And they later wrote it into Back to the Future 3. 🤠
Absolutely. I love the Back to the Future movies. Now I'll have to watch them this evening. Thank you for the comment. :)
As well as a sub plot in Episode 5/Season 11, of the TV Series MASH.
Great content as usual, Brad. Thanks for sharing!! Happy Heavenly Birthday Mr Harvey! Good luck Dan!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
That was a great the rest of the rest of the story. Thank you for all of your hard work in putting these video's out.
I'm very glad you enjoyed it. :)
Awww ..... thank you for this. After watching several hours worth of videos, this is the only one that made me smile.
I'm very glad it made you smile. ...and thank you very much for your military service. :)
Ah, now this one I knew. Had to find one sooner or later that I did.
Fyi, I got curious about that Paul Harvey photo used for the video background. It's from the election coverage of the 1958 Kansas gubernatorial election. So a fair bit back in time. Thank you again for taking the time to make these old "rest of the story" recordings available.
I'm glad you enjoyed it even though you'd heard it. You're right about the photo. It was before he began wearing a toupee. hahaha. :)
I confess when i first heard this i actually thot of the Three Stooges, Soupy Sales, and the many of the pie-in-the-eye performers!
My big trouble with that would the thought of employees actually stealing and wastingthe companies profits!
What a relief it was when it turned out to be the pans the pies came in as opposed to the pies themselves! Now that made a big difference to my perspective in this and pretty figured out it was the Frisbee! Plus i appreciate the fact that there actually is a name Frisbee. I remember years ago listening to some CD's of old Lone Ranger broadcasts from radio. I was shocked when i heard the name Frisbee for one of the characters. I think her name wss Grandma Frisbee(i will gladly stand corrected). Now i know it was a real name.
Thank you for both Paul Harvey's Rest of the Story and your Rest of the Rest of the Story! God bless you.
I'm very glad you enjoyed listening. I saw a character in a movie recently who was named Frisbee. I thought of this story. :) Also, I love the Three Stooges.
@@BradDison Thank you for the reply.
Hey Brad great job . I remember a Paul Harvey I think was a rest of the story on Ronnie milsap. I know I heard it back in the day but can’t find it anywhere. It’s still stuck in my head to this day as I think that’s what brought me to the legendary Ronnie milsap.
I'll have to see if I have that one. I love Ronnie Milsap. He's a super nice guy. I met him in Branson, Missouri... gosh, that had to have been about 30 years ago. I worked for Tony Orlando at that time, who is also one of the nicest performers I've ever been around, and they met up after both of them had performed on their separate shows. Long, boring story. Sorry. I'll see if I can find that episode. :)
When Mr. Harvey started talking about a pie company, I knew what he was going to talk about. I don't know if I had heard him talk about this in the past or someone else. but I knew! Great story. It is indeed one of the best and most famous toys of all time. adding a bit more. We played frisbee golf, frisbee boomerang. Seeing how far you could throw it in to the wind, make it comeback and catch it. and frisbee catch, seeing how many times you could throw it back and forth without hitting the ground. Sometimes my friends (3 of us) were not nice and made me chase the frisbee to catch it. I don't know what the world record is, but we did it over 250 times without it hitting the ground. I think we all were covered with dirt and grass stains, blood and bruises and dead tired. we were throwing them as wild as we could at the end.
What wonderful memories. We lived (and I still live) out in the country. We played outside all the time and loved playing frisbee. We played the same games as you mentioned. My cousin got really good at skipping frisbees, throwing them with just enough force at the proper angle to make it skip off of the ground with control. I wasn't as good at it. hahaha. :)
@@BradDison LOL I was afraid I would damage the frisbee skipping it, so I didn't do it that often. I don't know how many times one of use had to climb a ladder to get the darn thing off the roof. LOL
Now that's a great story!
Mister--I would have loved it if you had placed a comma after "that's"'. Mr. Harvey would have loved it, also. :)
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I see you have a bakery. Do you make pies? :)
Hahahaha. :)
Thank you Brad, love the history of it all, wonderful stories 😊
I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
Very good. More Brad Dison songs please
Thank you very much. More songs? Any requests? :)
@@BradDison how about an old Merle Haggard favorite and Swinging Doors
@@mistervacation23 Anything by Merle is good. :)
Frisbee Pie Company what a story learn something new everyday !😁
I’m glad you found it informative. :)
Great content.
Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
Paul Harvey is an American Icon.
I certainly agree with you there. :)
I have been looking for a particular Paul Harvey story. All I remember is a two missionaries stop at a restaurant. There is a man going from table to table talking and shaking hands with the other customers. He finally comes to the missionaries and sits down and talkes to them. After he leaves they ask the waitress who the man was and she said he was the Governor. Of course there is more but I don't remember it all. If anyone knows where to find this episode or the title please let me know. Thank you all.
I'll see if I can find it in my collection based off of what you provided. :)
I knew that! But I loved hearing Paul say it
I’m glad you enjoyed it. :)
There's a scene in, Back To The Future III, when Marty throws a pie pan with the name, FRISBIE, @ Bufard Tannen....
I remember that. Love the Back to the Future movies. :)
[n the 70s myself along with co workers used tin lids from 5 lb tins of printing ink as frisbees .
We used lids from buckets as frisbees. They worked but hurt like the dickens when we got hit with them. :)
Off topic. Please find Freedom to chains-Paul Harvey. It is most important. If you can't find it, listen to it here on You Tube. I am so afraid we are going to lose this country from within. Mr. Harvey will tell you how.
I will definitely see if I can get a copy I can use on here. I fear the same thing.
I remember Paul Harvey from when I was a little kid. Always loved his voice
@@rogerbattsrogerrabbitt I learned alot of things from him and begin to study some just to see if it was true or not. After I found out it was, I didn't study all the much. LOL
This is just a comment out of respect to the late, great Paul Harvey whom I listened to for many years. First, I’m so glad you have a channel that has resurrected so many of his radio stories. But when you say “good day” at the end, it strikes me as plagiarism. That may sound extreme, but it seems it would be better to create your own signature. That one was created by and belongs to Mr. Harvey, and still no one can create an image in words like he did. Thanks for your research and unique channel
I have never been comfortable saying “Good Day!” Although it’s not a copyrighted phrase of his, I just never felt right saying it. In my more recent episodes I no longer say “Good Day.” I have the utmost respect for Mr Harvey and his family. I appreciate your opinion on this and I share it. Also, I noticed your last name is Sullivan. I’m closely related to the Sullivan family here in Louisiana. They are some of my favorite people. :)
Did the frisbie pie company sell Boston cream pies. At the beginning I thought Paul Harvey was talking about the original slap stick pie in the face made popular with the 3 stooges
I don't know the answer to that question. Can anyone shed some light on the subject? :)
@@BradDison Rats! Now I want a Boston cream pie, in addition to the chocolate pie you already had me thinking of!
I want one of each. hahahaha@@terri2494
Pie fights ✌👍👍👍 too fun
I've always wanted to be in a pie fight or a food fight but I was never brave enough to start one. :)
I could be wrong, but I don't think it would have been copyright infringement, more likely trademark infringement.
Nonetheless, great two-fer.
You may be right. :)
An interesting but odd man. He got his decades long radio gig when he was called in to substitute for someone who took a 2 week vacation in the early 1950s. At the end of the 2 weeks they liked Paul Harvey so much that the other broadcaster was forced to retire. Harvey did his 5 day a week show for the rest of his life, refusing to take any of the vacation time he'd built up because he developed a terrible superstition that what happened to his predecessor could just as easily happen to him. When his broadcaster considered having someone do a substitute show on weekends, Harvey demanded that his contract be rewritten to prevent anyone ever substituting for him. Even after he died, he couldn't be replaced. And that's the rest of the story.
That's right. Later in life, he allowed substitutes. He asked Larry King to sub for him at one time, but Larry King had scheduling issues. Mr. Harvey allowed his son to substitute for him on "The Rest of the Story" when he was too ill to broadcast. Mr. Harvey could never be replaced. :)
Neat.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I like your moniker. I'm also an amateur astronomer. :)
Always loved him, an I'm in my 50 thys .
He was fantastic. :)
Wow thank you for posting this Brad. I listened to the Rest of the Story growing up
I'm very glad you enjoyed it. I hope it brought back fond memories. :)
I miss Paul he was awesome
I agree totally. He was amazing. :)
question, there used to be a free site with zip files of all the Paul Harvey episodes, but it's gone now. Do you know where it went or were to get access ? I play these daily for my assisted living facility to evoke discussion with bed bound seniors and lost my recourse!
I don't know where you can find them in that way. I'm sorry. :)
I had a friend who's real name is Paul Frisbee. He named his son Whamo. Coolest name ever!
No kidding? His name was Whamo Frisbee?
Paul always keep his stories on point and didn't waste time telling it. Now a days everyone has to speech for 30 minutes of BS to tell a 5 minute story,
Isn't that the truth. I look at "air time" as prime real estate. Don't waste it. :)
@@BradDison BOA - When you've been granted the privilege of being heard, be very careful watch every word.
I take that privilege seriously. Believe me. When I make a mistake in a video, I hear about it. :)@@georgefaulk2528
Does anyone know if it’s possible to buy all of the Paul Harvey audio as a full collection on cd?
I'm not sure if that exists. :)
ADVERTISMENT? SOLAR SCAM? in my area you don't need to worry about any of the c.rap. The Installer requires a 25 Year Lease on the equipment with a MONTHLY "Maintenance FEE" of over 100USD. ALL incentives and Kickbacks go not to You, to the Installer. There is no Electric Bill because you pay the Maintenance Fee instead. It may take six months or more for the local power grid to allow connection, too.
I'm not sure I follow your comment as it pertains to the episode. :)
@@BradDison "Truth in Advertising" NEVER again Pay a monthly Electric Bill, [Pay a fixed monthly "Maintenance Fee" instead. There is NO Electric Company kickback for adding power as it goes to the installer. In 20 years it will be time for a New Roof, too. And after storm damage, Wait in Line for repair to get to your system.
We need safe, sensible, Frisbie regulations! Somebody might break something! WE NEED MORE LAWS!
Hahahaha. :)
NO WE DONT
Can I get pie to , please, thank you
Hahahaha. I Love Pie. :)
WOW
:)
And now I know. 🙂
...the Rrrrrrest of the story. hahaha. :)
and knowing is half the battle! per G.I.Joe. LOL
Let Paul do the talking
Unfortunately, UA-cam doesn't agree. It would be much, much easier to just rebroadcast Mr. Harvey's episodes with nothing added. I have to do something to add value. I hope you'll give it a chance. :)
@@BradDison I think your additional information is interesting.
@@terri2494 Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoy it. :)
Lol
:)
I really liked Paul Harvey, when he took us back in when dirt roads were the main mode of travel. Life truely that was a much simpler time.@@BradDison
So thy were slinging them'
:)
Tasty cake ruled
