Pat.
Speaker 2:Pat, are you doing Pat's Peeps podcast 36? Pat, pat, did I give you permission to Pat? You're nothing more than a blurb twice an hour. Welcome back to the. Hey, it's the Pat's Peeps podcast, right? Number 36, my friends? Number 36? I can't even believe it. Thank you for being a part of the Pat's Peeps podcast, which apparently I am so happy to report.
Speaker 2:You know, you plant the seed and it begins to grow makes me very happy here to begin 2024. And speaking of that, it is the 17th of January. How are you on this Wednesday afternoon looking out my gorgeous studio window here in the beautiful foothills, golden, golden day, with the sun coming through the window, a few clouds, just a beautiful day. And we are on the 17th of January 2024 and it was so beautiful that, you know, I just had to be outside for a little bit. Talk more about that again. But you know I started.
Speaker 2:I also started thinking about, you know, this, I'm sorry to say you know that was a crutch right there. That's being honest, you know. You know what you know does, you know, buys your time. You know, as I'm thinking about, when you're thinking about what to say next, you don't have to say you know, I'm pretty good. I've eliminated that for the most part, but I catch myself when I do it, or this one. The only time there's an omera that I allow myself to try to get away with is if I am trying to figure out what I'm saying next or if I'm looking for something. Well, of course, pat, it's when you're trying to figure out what to say next. That's what everyone says omera about. Reality is you don't have to say omera, you just when you get to that point, you don't know what to say next, you just don't say anything. But there are times where I'm looking for information or I'm trying to find something kind of on the fly which is very distracting from the broadcast, and I'll go yeah, well, let's see, you know something like that. So I'm going to catch myself on that and I'm going to work on that to make it a better Pat's Peeps podcast for you. But I was thinking so we say, for instance, today this is Pat's Peeps podcast 36.
Speaker 2:Random thought how long am I going to go on with the numerical order of the podcast? Like it at some it's kind of like the Super Bowl. I'm not creating one with the other in terms of the overall sort of you know, like the Super Bowl there goes with. You know, again, the Super Bowl, dang it, dang it. Super Bowl is huge, right, but I'm and I just said right, so now I'm breaking every rule that I've talked about so far. I'm a little ashamed of myself. But let's say we get to podcast 2492. Do I say, hey, welcome to Pat's Peeps podcast 2492? I could lose track at some point, or does it just someday, does it just become Pat's Peeps podcast and then it has the date associated with it? You know, here's what I'm thinking. I'm thinking I'm going to go to like a hundred and then a hundred, cut it off, just leaving it that a hundred. That'll be the milestone and maybe I'll just stop saying Pat's Peeps podcast, whatever, and then it'll be just for that particular day. But the good news I want to say thank you so much, thank you, thank you, thank you for apparently listening and passing the word on to whomever, because I did get a message yesterday from the platform in which I do the podcast. You know, you have a platform where you originate the podcast and then it uploads it from there, and I got a message yesterday and while it may not be earth shattering just yet it made me very, very happy and it said congratulations.
Speaker 2:The Pat's Peeps podcast has reached 2500 downloads. Now there is no video associated with this yet. Maybe at some point we incorporate that. But and then you start to divide it up. Well, is it this many per podcast that you have done? And that's fine, that's fair. But here's the reality. In my mind, that's 2500 on 35 podcasts and we're just getting started. Like I say, this is only number 36, and not to mention that we're talking about just the streaming platform itself, where the podcast originates. And I'm certainly tell, I'll tell you right now this isn't to brag about it, because that's really it's nothing to brag about just yet. When it gets to 250,000 or 2,500,000, when we get into Joe Rogan territory I guess he is the standard then maybe a little bragging. I might go buy myself a $50 cigar that point to celebrate. And you know what it can happen if you're listening. It can happen. I have big dreams, I shoot for the moon. But here's the thing 2500 downloads.
Speaker 2:I've only been doing this what? Two months, and I started off with a big fat zero, and so I feel very, very good about that and I will try for you and for myself, to be consistent, you know. Initially I thought, geez, you know, am I going to do this every day? And then I started thinking, yeah, you know what, I'm probably going to do some of this every day. I'm probably going to do it every day, not doing it on the weekends or holidays like this week, but I will try my best to do it as often as possible. Put it that way. But a big thank you. All right, thank you.
Speaker 2:And one other thing again. That's only from the platform. Like I said, this doesn't even include all of the other platforms that we are now on, whether that's Spotify or iTunes or the iHeart app. All of these we're out there, we're streaming. You can subscribe to it. So when you combine it with and we've only been on those platforms for what? A week and a half or something like that, so we'll see what happens. But I sure appreciate you. I'm not going to tell you to click and subscribe and smash the like button, which, because there isn't any here. All I can ask is if I keep doing this and talking with you and we just keep having conversations, if you just keep coming back and tell your friends. That's really, you know, that's what I care about.
Speaker 2:The fire is going. By the way, the fire is going right next to me in my wood stove. It is so comfortable with this beautiful weather and the fire going. It was so nice and I have been so busy with meetings and with the podcast and such that one of the things that I realized was I had better get to my health. I made some New Year's resolutions. Many times Many of us will say, well, in the new year, you know what I'm going to do better in my health. Well, I did start eating more salads. I really have incorporated more of the veggies that I can take, that I can tolerate, that I like. I put those in the mix. I'm trying to eat healthier. I mean a lot of oatmeal and blueberries and bananas and things like that, things that I, you know, for me, seem healthy, but I've, because of my busy schedule, what I realized is I started to kind of slip away from the weights and the pushups and the you know, the exercise portion of my life.
Speaker 2:And that's very, very important, and I don't, and I want to be in shape when I go to Italy. By the way, does anyone want to go? Please join us in Italy, we have a great group of people going to the Amalfi Coast, southern Italy, on April 10th. Can you imagine? 10, 12, that's 12 days in southern Italy, at the Malfi Coast, in spring. Anyhow, conservativetourscom, lots of us are going. We have a great time Support local business, by the way, but I want to be in shape from my trip to Italy.
Speaker 2:I want to look good. I want to be trim. I'm already pretty trim, but I want to. You know, outside's one thing, but I want to work on the inside. I want to be healthy, and so that's what I'm going to do. So how do I do that?
Speaker 2:So I thought I could combine the two. So today, I figure, why not two birds, one stone? Why not do my run walk today, being honest with you, more of a walk down, and I'm in the, in the, in the, in the beautiful foothills, like I said, of California, that I have an opportunity to be out there and walk. So I did to add another dimension to the Pat's peeps podcast. So, without further ado, let's go live to Pat Pat. Are you out on a walk right now, pat Pat? So it's Patrick continuing on with Pat's peeps 36, episode 36. Ah, today, just you know, I'm out walking. I was going to say I'm out run walking but, to be honest, I'm doing more walking today. But you know, one thing I realized is, first of all, I'm very proud that we're on Pat's peeps, episode number 36.
Speaker 1:I think I'm repeating myself here.
Speaker 2:Sorry, november the fifth. So I'm trying to be steady and consistent with this. I didn't realize I was repeating myself. And then yesterday I got a notice saying hey, congratulations.
Speaker 1:I'll see. Now I'm interrupting myself, so here's the thing. Let me just move forward. I just said all of this stuff. I don't want to bore you the same.
Speaker 2:It is now on all the streaming platforms.
Speaker 1:Okay, I would have said that Said that we've got 2,500 now.
Speaker 2:Yep, got that. Said that. What else did Pat? Say you know what about working out? Said that if anything you know, maybe it'll inspire someone. I don't know, but I'll leave it right there.
Speaker 2:Part of that is that I should do it and I don't want to be embarrassed and say I'm not doing it anymore. So so that's where I am today. That's what I'm doing. What I love a lot of the comments I've been getting regarding the Pat's peeps podcast is that it feels very intimate, you know, like we're just sitting there chatting from my studio up in the foothills, which is exactly what we're doing, and that's what I thought. Let's go outside today, describe the beautiful day, which I've already done in the beginning year. But it is gorgeous, it's a very nice road. So for the for at least today, I can't promise beyond this. I'm going to incorporate my workout a little bit into the podcast.
Speaker 2:So good luck on your New Year's resolutions, whatever they may be, don't let it slip. Matter of fact, you know it's been many years since I've joined a gym. I never wanted to be one of these people that they joined the gym and then they keep paying and they go like in January and February, and March starts to peter out, springtime gets here. You forgot about it. You're still paying, though you know the gym didn't forget about it. You know? Nope, they didn't, because the computer keeps clicking that card there and charging you every month, but people don't care. They just don't go to pretend like it doesn't exist.
Speaker 2:When I joined a gym, you know I like to use it. I'm trying to find one, believe it or not. Okay, I'm so 80s or 90s. You know what I miss? Racquetball. I know people play pickleball. I've never done that. I'd be interested in learning. But racquetball, racquetball, man, that was physical, that got you in shape and plus there was the added benefit of getting smacked in the back of the head or the ass or the back every once in a while. The shoulder blade with that ball, with your friend just raking, you get those big welts. But anyhow, the only reason I said I'm thinking about a gym is because I always work out at home.
Speaker 2:I have a weight set, I'm really into pushups and situps. I mean, they're extremely effective in curls and things like that. But I, you know I need to do lats and I need to do other things and the main issue is that. Well, the main issue is I keep getting injured with my pushups. I keep injuring my shoulder and I'm not sure why. So I'll talk to a trainer and find out if there's a different exercise I might be able to do. Plus, you know they have a swimming pool and I believe that if you really want to get in shape overall great shape really tone up get your aerobic exercise and more all at once, I think swimming is perfect. So I'm going to check into that.
Speaker 2:If anyone out there knows of a good gym, let me know. If you're the owner of a gym, let me know. Happy to promote you as well. Let's see, what else do I have from my little. I might try to run here in a second. Oh yeah, the census bureau knocked on my door. I have been chosen to be a part of the census bureau up in this little town that I live in, which is a little town up in the gorgeous foothills of Northern California. When I first moved here, it's literally said there was a population 300. And it's a true story. Population 300, can you imagine? And I would get mail and I would go what the heck is this? That's my name on it. This is years ago.
Speaker 1:It's got my name on it Patrick Wolves. What the heck man.
Speaker 2:I don't own this car or anything. Turns out there are people in it down. My neighbor's name is Pat Wolves too. He's like man. That's bizarre. I was getting your mail too. I couldn't believe it. A little side note for you, so I'm going to deal with the census. I'll fill that out. Do a little survey tomorrow. I called them today. Do a survey tomorrow. You know you have to do it. You know that If you're selected by law you have to do it. I didn't know that until today, but I'm happy to do it nonetheless. I don't want to be an outlaw on the run of fugitive. What you're in for, what you're running from the law.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I didn't fill out the census. What else do we got Tune into my show tonight, please, the Pat Wolves show. I heard everywhere nationally an I Heart Radio app. We have podcasts of that too, after every show. Support local business. I've got some really great stuff going on there at my home as well with local business.
Speaker 2:I'm going to be telling you about soon. Hey, congratulations to all the teams playing in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs too. I have friends who are Niner fans and in the deep ramness of who I am Los Angeles ramness I have to dig down deep and go Congratulations, good luck, although the Packers looked good last week, man. But hey, who knows, who knows what will happen. So there's a little segment from the road just to get out and about today, and I've enjoyed it. Like I said, I might keep doing this. It'll keep me motivated. We'll see what happens. All right, let's go back live to me now in studio, pat, pat, pat, pat, back to you in studio, pat. Yes, thank you, pat. That is a fine report. All of us very happy to see that you're getting your workout in and you're right. Maybe it will inspire someone to continue to work out or continue with their New Year's resolution, no matter what it is working out, eating right, whatever it may be. But thank you, patrick, for that road report there, if you will.
Speaker 2:Now you know when I came back from my walk, which was exhilarating. Thank you very much. When I came back before I left actually, I put some clothes in the washing machine. I figure I could put the clothes in the washing machine, go do my walk, come back and then throw them in the dryer and then get on with the podcast. I don't have anyone here doing that, I do it, I do it myself. And so I come back home and I can hear it as I'm walking up my little pathway. This God, and I got a new washer. It was pretty new. I was off balance, so let's do that.
Speaker 2:I hate that sound. I always think it's going to break my washing machine. So I, you know, burst into the home and I run into my, my, my little laundry room there and I hit pause and I balanced it all out, got everything back under control. Everything's good. No, no damage to the machine. The machine's not broke, as my friend Jose Jose, if you're out there, I love you, brother. Jose used to say the machine she broke. I love you, man, wherever you are, jose, anyhow, but what I heard it? It reminded me of this very creative dude. What's it? I don't know what his name is. Maybe it is an Aaron Atta boy McAvoy, I don't know. Regardless, I thought this guy was pretty clever. This is, I think, like this a lot. So his machine's out of whack right. Check out what he does. He picks up his guitar, throws down a little tone with it.
Speaker 1:One, two, three, four. I love that. The devil went down to Georgia. He was looking for a soda steal. He was in a vibe dude's way behind. He was willing to make a deal. When he came across, this young man saw him in a fiddle and a plane of hot. And the devil, just upon a hickory stump and said boy, let me tell you what I bet. You didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too, and if you care to take a dare, I'll make the bet with you, that's just clever you play pretty good fiddle boys, but if the devil is due, I'm gonna fiddle a goal against your soul.
Speaker 1:So think I'm better than you. The boy said my name's Johnny and he might be your son, but I'll take your bet, good gunnery friend, cause I'm the best he's ever been. Johnny, come and look at your little home. Hee-haw, charlie Daniels out man. The devil is a devil, get your soul. Ha, ha, ha ha ha. Thank you.
Speaker 2:Love that, holding in my hand the paper they sent me from the Census Bureau that Pat talked about when he was out on the road there. He said he got chosen for this to be a part of the survey for the Census Bureau. I guess, dude, current resident your household's been selected. How about that? I've been selected I feel very special about this To participate in the American Community Survey, the info on this.
Speaker 2:It says information I was being kind of, I was being informal there From the survey helps identify. See, the thing is, it really is important. So there are people and I'll get into this more in my show because I'm trying to get them on as a guest either on my podcast or my show but people think I want the government off my back. So do I. Of course I'm one of those folks who wants the government off of our backs Absolutely no doubt about it. But they're but they are at the same time suspicious of things like this, you know, like the survey, the United States Department of Commerce, us Census Bureau, their survey. In reality, I don't really think I'm that nervous about this. I spoke to them, but I'm going to speak more at length with him. Pardon me, I'll drink a water there. Information from the survey helps identify needs as affordable housing, job training, emergency planning. Your response can make a difference in your community. I'm happy to do it, no biggie, they're going to contact you by phone and person, blah, blah, blah. But do you know that they're required by law to respond to the American Community Survey? The survey, they say, is necessary, and here's why because it provides, they say, detailed information that communities like yours use to determine where to locate critical services such as schools, clinics, businesses. And then it goes on to tell you that if you have any questions, call the number.
Speaker 2:I did have a question. I asked if the person who is the program supervisor could join me on either my podcast or on my radio show. And I even said you know I don't think there's a lot of people, including myself, that know a lot about the survey that you're actually required what the survey does and how it works and all that. Take a few minutes to talk about it. Why not? It's good, informative stuff, I'll be educated, I'll be enlightened.
Speaker 2:So I asked for this individual Got put on hold. And you know what, when you're a radio producer which I am not just a host but, believe me, a producer as well, probably even more than a host. It's amazing how many people are busy at the moment. I'm sorry they're busy at the moment, not to say that they're not, but I'm really busy too, and I took the time out of my day to contact them. Contact them to try to give them publicity. I'll take the time out of my day to fill out the survey, but I'll let you know if I get a call back from them. If they, if I do fantastic.
Speaker 2:I explained exactly what I was looking for. If not, then you know, I let them know that. I'll let my listeners know about that as well. My audience know about that. Then I took the time and was required, even though you're not required.
Speaker 2:But you know what I mean, because the person I'm just gonna be honest about this too. Well, I don't have to always preface everything when I say I'm gonna be honest, because I always try to be honest with you but the person wasn't that friendly. You know it wasn't that friendly, if you know what I mean. It wasn't like they were rude, they just weren't that friendly. Put me on hold. I'm sorry they're busy right now. It happens, but anyhow, I'll follow up on that. Let you know if that works out, and if it does, we'll find out more about the survey together. Now that's exciting radio Finding them on the US Census Bureau.
Speaker 2:I just need to know, man. I mean, I found the package sitting there on my porch, so I need to know what I'm talking about. What else do I have in my little notes? Oh, this is a good one. You ever do this, you ever. You're walking around, I'm trying to prep for my show, I'm trying to read the survey and all the census survey.
Speaker 2:But at this point, even though I don't wear glasses all the time, I do wear reading glasses when I'm working and when I'm trying to fill out paper. I don't wanna make a mistake, and so you ever do this one. I spent, I don't know five minutes I'm not getting my, probably five minutes or less, but it seemed like a significant amount of my time when I could be doing other things, looking for my glasses when suddenly I did two dumb things. Number one, like this, the glasses were on my head. You ever do that, like some people, and I've seen this before some people are wearing their glasses wondering where they left their glasses. The only thing which I'm sorry that's funny, but the only thing I ever saw in that kind of sort of a realm that I thought was even funnier. I'll never forget this Out of friend who.
Speaker 2:They're going crazy, and I'm trying not to laugh. They're going crazy. They cannot figure out what did they do with my cell phone? I had it here. I cannot believe this. I can't believe I can't find my cell phone. You can't make this stuff up, man. Well, I guess you could, but I'm not, and so I'm watching this. So the person it's at night. I noticed that they then put the light on. Well, they have the light on on the cell phone that they're holding in their hand, looking under the couch for the cell phone. They're like, dang it. I couldn't tell them right away Until I started laughing. I'm like what, what are you holding to look under the couch for the cell phone? It's your cell phone. Anyhow, I don't feel that bad, but I did have the glasses on the head thing earlier and I just took note of that.
Speaker 2:Very random. You ever do that one, that's always a good one, but I did. I said I did two things really dumb. I don't even want to mention the same this, but this is so stupid. It's so random, but you know what, it's part of everyday life. I'm a single dude.
Speaker 2:I decide I'm going to make myself a big old crock pot full of chili. This is on Monday and I'm not going to follow a recipe, I'm just going to make the chili how I feel in my mind. How would I want to make chili? What ingredients would I use? And I go to and I buy all these ingredients. By the way, if you're like, if you're going to eat my chili, you better like hot Spicy because I love it. So I make this is so stupid. I don't know, maybe not stupid, maybe I'm being too hard on myself here. I'll let you judge, maybe it's not as dumb as I thought. But so I make the big crock pot of chili. And if I had a do over, if I had a mulligan, I'll tell you what it would be. It would be involving the beans.
Speaker 2:I don't like the big red kidney beans, those big oversized beans. I don't like that. I don't like beans that are kind of hard or anything like that. If I'm going to have beans in my chili, I want them soft. I don't want them to stand out. I want them to be just a part of the texture, along with the hamburger or the sausage or whatever else I'm going to use. You know what I'm saying. That's what I want. I don't want a crunchy bean. So instead of buying what I should have bought which you may or may not like this either soaking a bag of beans overnight or buying the pinto beans already and said can, so they're already softened up and cooked, and all of that I decided I go for the bag of beans. So I get the bag of beans Now.
Speaker 2:I haven't done that for a long time and it gives you an opportunity to either do the overnight method where you soak the beans Now remember my mom used to do that. She'd have them in a pan of the beans and we'd get big old fat and soak up that water, get all wrinkly. Should have done that. But then they have a fast method where you put it on the stove. You put some water in there. It says bring to a boil, boil for two minutes, leave the lid on and then an hour later you throw it in the chili mix. So I did it that route.
Speaker 2:They didn't want to wait overnight, did exactly what they said, but it didn't seem right to me. It seemed like I needed to boil those bad boys a little more than I did, but I followed the recipe. So I throw it in the chili in the crock pot. I can't wait. Five hours go by, I just know I haven't even tasted it yet. I just go for it. Five hours go by and I'm thinking, yeah, all right, now I'm gonna go taste my chili. It's gotta be done, it's gotta be. The beans have to be nice and tender. Oh, you cannot wait. I know it's gonna be spicy. So I go out get a little sample dish. You know how you do it. You spoon a little bit out. You take a taste Wonderful.
Speaker 2:The chili was impeccable. I'm very proud. The beans were hard. I couldn't do it. I'm into the first bowl. The chili's great With the cornbread.
Speaker 2:Thanks to Darlene with the Y made some fantastic cornbread. But the beans. So what do I end up doing? What am I gonna do? I love it, but I can't throw it out. I don't want to throw it out. I spent all night and all this. So what? I tell you, it's so embarrassing. This is what my life is. This is my life. I needed assistant to pick my beans out of my chili. I spent like an hour I'm not even joking, probably longer than that. I'm out there. After the first bowl I got a colander out and a spoon draining my chili sauce. I'm trying to pick these beans out of there because it's ruining my chili. I couldn't enter this in a contest with these beans. It's probably like an hour and a half I did it, oh my God. But you know what, mission accomplished, holy shmanelli Chili is consumed. It was delicious. There you go, my chili story, my chili bean fiasco story.
Speaker 2:Hey, let's get to the record that I plucked from my 45s, my rare 45 collection, like I do every time, by the way, we do this just so anyone listening or monitoring Just know that I do this for and I'm holding up my air quotes educational purposes, oh yeah, and plus, I like it, but for educational purposes. So today's record pulled it straight out of the shelf today. Let me see how it looks. Let me see what kind of condition it's in. Looks like a good condition Sometimes, even when they look in conditions, something like yesterday's record from John Denver. It skipped, but we'll find out. It's got a little bit of wear on the label.
Speaker 2:This is on Motown, motown Records, released in 1973. I'm just looking at the label, seeing that on the label and this is one that is it's a DJ copy, but it is it does have the A side and the B side. Like I say, sometimes the record has the same song on both sides, or maybe it has a mono version on one side and then a stereo version on the other side, something like that. So in this case, we're going to play this right off of the 45, the original 45 that was sent out to the radio stations. I always like to tell you that, and this particular song has some particularly good meaning and memories for me. It's recorded by this American R&B group. It was the title track of their ninth studio album and this was recorded on the 1973 album Get G-I-T. That was Get it Together, and so this song according to some sources to many sources it sold over 3 million copies.
Speaker 2:So this did very, very well, and what it did is that it popularized one of my favorite dances of all time. Yes, I have a favorite dance. That would be the robot. I loved the robot very physically demanding dance, this dance technique when you move like a robot. I mentioned this on one of my podcasts recently, or at least maybe on my show, the Pat Walsh show, which I host my heart radio. Like I said that, my buddy Mark Barnett, who passed away on New Year's Day, I love and miss you, my friend. We used to practice the robot because we wanted to be the coolest dancers in junior high. You know why? Because that way you can meet girls, because they would be so impressed. The problem was I learned to do it but I ended up being too shy, too shy, too shy, ha ha ha. So bye, anyhow, as I digress. So we practiced the robot, the dance, the robot dance, and we got good at it. But this song helped popularize it. It was devised by Charles Washington in the late 60s.
Speaker 2:This artist, considered one of the most popular artists of all time, in their solo career First performed this particular dance you know what I'm talking about. Performed it on television while singing the song Dancing Machine. I'm talking about the Jackson Five, I'm talking about Michael Jackson. They did it on Soul Train. I just got my Soul Train t-shirt, by the way. They did that November 3rd of 73. It was the group's first US top 10 hit since the song Sugar Daddy in 71. And this song brought the Jackson Five their second Grammy award nomination in 75. That was a good year for music, in my opinion, for the best R&B performance by a duo or group with vocals or a grope. They lost to Rufus and Chaka Kots down something good. Remember that one, tell me, tell me, tell me, remember that song. I'm sure we'll come across that record. I had that 45 when I was a kid. So without further ado, we bring you dancing machine watching get down, watching, get down, dancing machine the Jackson fire.
Speaker 1:She's moving, she's.
Speaker 2:In Canada. Dancing machine went to number two and the RPM 100 in the US and hit number one on Cashbox reach number two on the billboard hot 100, behind the streak by Ray Stevens. Remember that one. It also hit number one on the R&B charts. Billboard ranked it as the number five song for 74.
Speaker 2:I always like the part where they do that Dan Dan, dan Dan's dance a machine. I love that part. Here we go, watch it get down. Watch it get down. I'll get it all crank it up for that part. It's my favorite part. Here you go, watch it get out. Watch it get out. I should do the thing. What a machine man. Great tune.
Speaker 2:It was most notably sampled by MC Hammer on his 1990 album please hammer down her to him for dancing machine, also sampled again in 1990 by vanilla ice on the album to the extreme and later by Too short. Let's turn it over, though, and see what is on the flip side of this one, the flip side of dancing machine. Well, that one just brings back memories. We'll flip it over. On the other side Is a song called it's too late to change.
Speaker 2:It's too late to change the time again by the Jackson five, featured on the same album, get it together, get talks about change, the theme of consequences and change and missed opportunities. Nice harmonies, very heartfelt vocals on this one, as they try to convey a message you know it's never too late, no matter what's going on, to change your mind. It may be too late to change the path you're on that you've chosen, but you can change your mind at any time, and so throughout the song they compare the past to the present. They highlight the rapid changes as society is undergone in the atomic age, as they sing in this atomic age. So here you go from the Jackson five, the flip side it's too late to change the time.
Speaker 2:So, by the way, I want to mention that I have a second copy of dancing machine. Like I was saying a lot of times, the records are so different. This particular, this other copy that I have, I'm holding in my hand right now. Right there it's on a white label, instead of the blue Motown label, with the one that we all know, with the little map on there. But this white label DJ copy promotional, not for sale it has a radio stamp March of 74. So you know, this came out right, this is right when the song came out. This is dancing machine on one side, which is mono, and dancing machine on the other there's the skip. Thank you so much. The other side is dancing machine stereo. So here let me just throw it on here just real quick.
Speaker 2:So so far this is my longest podcast. Thank you for putting up with me. I like it. 40 minutes. Right now. Let me just give you. Let's listen to an example, why not? So let's dust it off a little bit. And this is the re. Listen to the geese. Did you hear the geese flying over? So this is right off of the shelves, sitting on the shelves since March of 1974. I guarantee you this is the first time this record's ever been played. It may have dust on it, but here you go. So this is the mono version of the song. Mono of dancing machine Dancing dancing, she's a dancing machine. A baby moving, baby, automatic, systematic, full of colors of contain, tuned and channeled to your vibes, Got the baby. Stimulating she's. You can tell it's just not full stereo Like when you're listening on whatever device or headphones you're listening to.
Speaker 1:She's grooving dancing until the music starts now.
Speaker 2:All right, let's flip it over and see what the stereo side sounds like compared to the mono side. Well, that does sound beautiful, though I mean it's just amazing to me that these records have been sitting there, that no one has ever grabbed them out and put them on a turntable. All right, let's go to the stereo side of dancing machine. Even with a stamp March 1974, virgin, never been played before Dancing dancing.
Speaker 1:She's a dancing machine.
