Keep it up. Paul Harvey brings back memories of being in the car with my dad (RIP) back in the 80s. He loved AM talk radio, and Paul Harvey was always being replayed wherever we were. Miss you, dad.
Thank you, Brad Dison for bringing Paul Harvey back to us. Many of these stories, like this one, I remember hearing many years ago when Paul Harvey first broadcasted them.
I grew up as a young kid hearing Paul Harvey speak through the worn out speakers in my dads old ford econoline vans that always seemed to be a 3 on the tree behind a 300 straight 6. Dads still very much alive and healthy at 73 and now im 41 and we frequently reflect on the state of our country. What i would give to go back and relive those lunchtime stories in those old beat up vans and appreciate the simpler times before they were gone. Thank you.
Paul Harvey always had such interesting commentary. My Dad and I used to listen to his radio broadcasts Monday through Friday 12:30PM on WLAM that broadcasted from Auburn, Maine. I grew up about 12 miles from there.
I read the story about the origin of potato chips in a paperback book of Paul Harvey's "The Rest of the Story" tales, only the written version begins with Mr. Harvey talking about how Cornelius Vanderbilt "could afford to be spoiled," to have everything his own way. I saw a recreation of the incident Mr. Harvey described, about Mr. Vanderbilt's encounter with Chef George Crum that led to the accidental invention of the potato chip in an episode of the Travel Channel program "Mysteries at the Museum," but a couple of facts were different from the way Harvey related them. To start with, the dish that Vanderbilt ordered was referred to, not as "French Fries," but as "French Cut Potatoes," which was described as being similar to Potatoes au Gratin. Second, the actor who played Chef Crum in the dramatization looked more like a black man (African-American) than an Indian (Native American). A rather strange contradiction.
A college education today IS like a high school diploma back in the day. And I'm not even talking that long ago. Back in your parents or even older brothers or sisters day. Colleges seem to be geared toward creating politically driven robots instead of truly educated young adults. Forget college! Look at trade schools. Welders, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, framers, pipe-fitters. And many other hands on jobs. I went to a maritime school in Piney Point, Maryland in the mid 1970s and just retired comfortably after many years in the industry. Colleges have become places of political indoctrination and that doesn't pay you a red cent! Check out trade schools. Move ahead
Years ago I read an article about this story. George Crum was supposed to have written his life story. In it he never mentioned inventing the potato chip.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Ronnie. :)
Wise words on the unpleasantness of grumpiness. Thanks Brad.

@@BradDison Any kind that doesn't involve jalapenos, horseradish, or disgusting powdered cheese. 😂
@@didyasaysomethin2me I couldn't agree more. Give me Barbecue chips any day and I'm happy. :)
@@BradDison Like I said, pass the chips please. 🤣
The first time I heard that story i was awestruck 😂
It's a good 'un. :)
@@BradDison over 35 years ago, wow I'm getting old and I don't even like potato chips 🍟 , except sometimes Mc Donald's fries
These days, the grumpy customers are females and usually named Karen. They all have a "let me speak to the manager" hairdo. 🤣😂🤣
Hahahahahaha. I've heard about "Karen's."
Good stuff...well, this video AND potato chips!
I do love a good bag of potato chips. hahaha
The best potato chips I have eaten were made by a street vendor in Granada, Spain
If I ever have the opportunity to go to Spain I’ll have to try street chips. :)
I never heard of a grumpy customer in my life.
I can pick up sarcasm when I hear it. hahaha. :)
I'm still looking for your rendition of dirt roads by Paul Harvey dadgum it
I haven’t found it yet in my collection. Surely I have it. I hope. :)
My brother’s name was George Crum.

I had never heard this story before the Paul Harvey episode. I'll have to do more research for sure. :)
@@BradDison I read the article many years ago but I did not try to find this man's life story. I did not do the research. Maybe I should have.
A Crummy customer
He was a crummy customer. :) Thank you for listening.
