"Gary Dee Attends His Own Funeral" was broadcast the last week of March 1974. Now, 40 years after it aired, the show has such deep impact and even more meaning than it did in 1974. This is a story that is humorous, thought provoking, and serious at times. Nobody suspected what Gary Dee had in mind throughout this series of programs. This story has an ending with a twist, but I won't spoil it for you. Gary Dee Attends His Own Funeral (Pt9) Ending of network news at 6 AM. Commercials and promo's. Bob Price ends the news and intros Gary who says he “feels dead” sitting in this casket. Gary begins by taking calls from listeners. Then a plug for Cleveland Tux. A female listener cry's and mourns loudly for Gary. After a flurry of very funny calls, Gary gets serious and says: “you still have time to add another chapter to your obituary; to keep this country out of other peoples business around the world; time to build this country into a great nation, and Cleveland into a great city. Or you can continue after I go, to be racist, to be prejudiced, and to pay taxes to two bit politicians.” More funny calls from listeners. A caller asks if there will be TV coverage of the funeral. Gary jokingly says that Liz Richards will be there with Joel Rose and John Hambrick will be there with his guitar. And Dorothy Fuldheim will Streak along with Bob Neal. Next caller says to Gary: “You Damn Die Hard” in which Gary immediately gets the joke and laughs. Caller gets the horn. Commercial breaks with Gary doing tags. Bob Neal (most probably a parody) with a phone call from Gary's first Ex wife. A caller says she does not want Gary to go. Gary gets philosophical by saying: “Those of you who don't have to go can continue to write in your pages of life, those of you who aren't dying with me today still have a chance to add another chapter in your book of life. You can change those evil thoughts of yours -- your bad habits -- you can give up sin and sex and prostitution. And the crooked cops can quit taking payoffs. And the crooked ministers can quit having affairs with the congregation and the widows”. Gary says I know sin, I was one of the best sinners the Devil ever had. Commercial break. Gary claims he's got wreath of thee day old flowers from Liz Richards. Gary once again states that even though he is dying, the listener can still change what you are griping about. “You could be impeaching the President” (Nixon that is!). Gary introduces Bob Price and the news. Commentary on President Nixon then Sports world roundup on CBR Radio Network.
