Well Todd TV psychic Miss Cleo, whose real name is
Jurie Dale Harris, has admitted in a magazine interview that
her famous called me now Jamaican accent as a fake Marcy.
She says it was invented by her employers to convince
customers she had just arrived in America and was running
the psychic hotline out of her garage. Cleo also says,
(05:02):
believe it or not, a makeup artist was hired to
darken her complexion before each commercial shoot. Says she's trying
to start a new psychic hotline company, but she's having
trouble because a her former boss won't let her use
the name Miss Cleo. B she can't seem to raise
the startup money, or c. She's not psychic, she's not black,
and she doesn't even have a garage.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
I think I will take Ceo that.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
One, Todd. So she's actually a white guy from New Jersey. Apparently.
Speaker 6 (05:38):

dollars to do the commercials and the company made like
twenty eight million.
Speaker 4 (05:48):

Speaker 9 (06:21):
And that's what they call hitting the comedy lottery, the
John Boy and Billy Big Show. Oh they are a Ryan,
a regular laugh Ryan whow.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Good morning. Everybody got a big show right here on
the radio. I hope y'all doing.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I ride this Monday. Julive the eighth I got this online.
Billy him out here says the following story I got
from a scouting friends a bit Jobby was a good story.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I want to know. Is it true?
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Let me save you some time. No, not a nine
percent of what you yet is not true.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
That's what he said.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
He says, as so many things on internet, I don't
know if and if you know for a fact that
any aspect story isn't true, let us know. So here's
the story, all right, Captain Kangaroo, Lee, Marvin and mister
Rogers Now here's something to think about as we go
about our everyday lives. Who would have ever guessed quite
a few of us grew up with Captain Kangaroo, as
you or your children probably did. I knew nothing of
his background, only did his show was both entertaining and educational.
(07:49):
As kids, we look forward to it with great anticipation.
Reminded me of the following story. Some people have been
a bit offended that the actor Lee Marvin is buried
in a grave alongside three and four star generals at
Arlington National Cemetery. That truth, that's his marker, gives his name,
rank of private and service US Marine Corps, nothing else.
(08:11):
I always like Lee Marvin, but did not know the
extent of his core experiences in the time when many
Hollywood stars served their country and the armed forces off
an in rear echelon post where they were carefully protected,
only to be trotted out to perform for the cameras
in war banned promotions, war bond promotions. Actually, Lee Marvin
was a genuine hero. He won the Navy Cross at
ewa Jima. There is only one higher naval award, the
(08:31):
Medal of Honor. If that surprising comment on the true
character of the man. He credits his sergeant with an
even greater show of bravery. Dialogue from the Tonight Show
with Johnny Carson. His guest was Lee Marvin. Johnny said, Lee,
I bet a lot of people are unaware that you
were a marine in the initial landing at Ewo Jima,
and that during the course of that action you earned
(08:52):
the Navy Cross and were severely wounded. Lee said, yeah, Yeah,
I got shot square in the butt and they gave
me the Cross for securing a hot spot about halfway
up Sirobachi.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Bad thing about getting just to getting shut in the
butt part.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Bad thing about getting shot up on the mountain is
guy's getting shot hauling you down. But Johnny at Ewo
I served under the bravest man I ever knew. We
both got the Cross the same day, but what he
did for his cross made mine look cheap in comparison.
He actually stood up on red Beach and directed his
troops to move forward and get off the beach. That
(09:28):
sergeant and I have been lifelong friends. When they brought
me off Surabachi, we passed the sergeant and he lit
a smoke and passed it to me. Lying on my
belly on the litter and said where did they get you?
Speaker 8 (09:40):
Lee?
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Well, Bob, if you make it home before me, tell
mom to sell the outhouse. They told Carson, I'm not lying.
Sergeant Keishan was a bravest man I ever knew. Bob Keishan.
You and the world know him as Captain Kangaroo. Oh no, no,
oh man, are you sure he looked at it?
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Captain Kangaroo was in the Marine Corps.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Uh huh.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
But he actually enlisted right before the atomic bomb was
ropp right at the end of the war. He had
just eighteen.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
Yeah, and if you do math on it, just based
on his date of birth, which is easily confirmed, he
would have been eighteen, far too young to have been
a sergeant at Ewajima.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
All right.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
On another note, there was this wimpy little man who
just passed away on PBS. Gentle and quiet, mister Rogers.
He's another of those you would least suspect of being
anything but what he now portrays to our youth. But
mister Rogers was a US Navy seal going around. Yeah,
really said he was combat proven in Vietnam, with over
twenty five confirmed kills to his name. He wore a
(10:40):
long sleeve sweater to cover the many tattoos on his forearms,
and by sip he was a master in small arms
and hand to hand combat, able to disarm or kill
in a heartbeat.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
You're saying that's not Drew, See Timmy, this one says
death before dishonored.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Can you say that?
Speaker 5 (11:04):
This one says kill them all and let God. However,
he did take out some jabs by dropping ping pong balls.
Maybe that's where the captain kangaroo.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
All right, so, uh there's your answers from our know
it all's on the internet. Good morning, The big show
(11:49):
is on the radio. Yeah, coming up, seal the place.

Speaker 5 (13:02):
Oh, you know, he did bring down the hijacker.
Speaker 4 (13:04):

Yeah, coming here till four o'clock was after.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
But even text baby. All right, y'all, listen to this.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Nineteen eighty two Larry Walters using a seers lawnchair hoistened
by forty two helium field weather balloons, became the world's
first lawnchair pilot after taking off from the backyard of
his girlfriend's house in San Pedro, California.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
Oh wait, here's where it gets weird.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
He took with him many supplies, including a BB gun
to shoot out the balloons when he was ready to.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Descend, play him.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Let's go was to sail across the desert and hopefully
make it to the Rocky Mountains in a few days.
Things didn't quite work out for Larry. After his crew
purposely cut the first teather, the second one also snapped,
which shot Larry into the sky at well over one
thousand feet per minute, so he then climbed to over
(30:21):
sixteen thousand feet, passing TWA pilot first spotted Larry and
radio the tower that he was passing a guy in
a lawn chair at sixteen thousand.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Feet pilot the co pilot oo.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
The pilot had to say, if you'll look out the
left side of the airplane right now, you see a
guy in a lawn.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
Hey, that's odd.
Speaker 8 (30:43):
Well.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Larry started shooting out a few balloons to start his descent,
but accidentally drop his gun. He eventually landed in the
Long Beach neighborhood. Although he was entangled in some power lines,
he was uninjured. In the years that followed, he broke
up with his girlfriend of fifteen years, abandoned his speaking career,
which had never really panned out, and worked only as
sporadically as a security guard. And then Larry hiked to
(31:04):
one of his favorite spots in Los Angeles in nineteen
ninety three and shot himself through the heart. Oh man,
there was a sad end for the man who had
made one of the most celebrated flights since Lindbergh. Man
now say, if he had got a good agent, he should.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Have been able to That was his problem.
Speaker 7 (31:18):
Actually he ended up with too many agents and none
of their hair brained schemes worked out.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Man about that, all right? So we have some tape
of Larry talking to his girlfriend. I guess one of
the who was serving us, one of his crew member.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
Here's a guy who's very calm about the fact that
he's in the lawn chair at this great altitude, but
his girlfriend not taking it.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
Well, no, she's losing it.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
