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.

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.

[@eddieboggs8306]

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.

[@BradDison]

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. :)

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 😁

[@BradDison]

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. :)

[@warrenroy5376]

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.

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.

[@BradDison]

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. :)

[@stevenf1953]

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.

[@BradDison]

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. :)

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.

[@BradDison]

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. :)

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

[@BradDison]

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. :)
