Before Blue Origin and Katy Perry, There Was Lawn Chair Larry
Update: 2025-05-16
Description
The Wright brothers had wings. Neil Armstrong had NASA. Lawn Chair Larry had a $110 Sears lawn chair, forty-five helium balloons, and the courage of a man who didn’t understand gravity. In this episode, Free Nights and Weekends salutes Larry Walters — the DIY aviator who soared into California airspace armed with Coca-Cola, sandwiches, beer, and zero formal training. Scott and Marc unpack how one man’s ridiculous dream of flight became a legendary moment in American folklore — decades before Blue Origin or Katy Perry’s “Firework.” It’s the high-flying, helium-fueled episode you didn’t know you needed.
