Ep. 48 Pat Walsh Invites Kendall Tobe to Join His Podcast From the Comforts of Her Bubble Bath- A Super Bowl Soak, Also, Tailgating with Guy Fieri, Some Groovy Sunshine Pop
Hey there, Pat's Peeps! Pat Walsh here, and I'll bet you've never heard a podcast recorded from a bubble bath before. Well, hold onto your rubber ducks because my producer, Kendall Tobe, is about to give you the lowdown on Guy Fieri's tailgate party from the comfort of her own tub. It's just one piece of the delightful chaos that unfolded in our latest episode, as we also dish on the overcast aura of the Super Bowl.
Remember when sports were just about the game? Me too, but times are changing, and we're here to chat about it. From the enigma that is Taylor Swift's magnetism at a football game to musings on whether the celebrity dazzle could pull a new demographic into the stands, this episode isn't afraid to ask if the traditional game experience is taking a back seat. Plus, we meander down memory lane with personal stories of how baseball, not football, stole a chunk of my heart thanks to our fathers.
To wrap things up, imagine the serene streets of Las Vegas on Super Bowl Sunday, a rare sight that Kendall witnessed firsthand, along with the majestic Budweiser Clydesdale horses. We also explore the exhilarating world of Super Bowl surprises, including a store manager's ticket jackpot and the questionable inception of Doritos-flavored booze. And for a groovy twist, I'll pull you into the past with a dive into a 1968 Spanky & Our Gang record, because who doesn't love a bit of sunshine pop to brighten their day? So, grab your headphones and get ready for a trip through a kaleidoscope of stories that'll make you feel like you've found a treasure trove of audio gold.
Welcome back to the Pat's Peeps podcast. This is number 48. Already to number 48,. Well, on our way to 50. Soon will be at 100. We'll just keep going from there, but always glad to have you picking up momentum with the Pat's Peeps podcast.
Speaker 1:Got a lot of very kind comments from a lot of people from podcast 47. So thank you very much. Definitely appreciate the feedback and really enjoying a lot of your comments. I mean I mentioned it all the time. I host my own radio show, the Pat Walsh show. I'm Pat Walsh and I mentioned all the time that I have this podcast. But people are still catching on and sort of spreading the word and I surely do appreciate that and I'm proud that we are at number 48 today. So if you haven't heard 47 or any of the other ones, you can go back and listen to some of those. I'd be so grateful.
Speaker 1:Today it is a Monday, it's February, the 12th to 2024. And it is a beautiful day today, a little overcast, but just a gorgeous day, as I take a peek out of my beautiful studio here in the foothills, beautiful foothills of Northern California, and boys, a great weekend. Of course, yesterday was the Super Bowl. I'm sure that everyone watched the Super Bowl, no doubt about that. I went to my brothers and watched it. I went to see my brother, my nephew and my sister-in-law had a great time. More on that coming up, but I kind of wanted to recap the Super Bowl. I've got another thing I wanted to talk about in regards to the Super Bowl. We have a little bit of music. We'll get to as well. But here's the thing here, on podcast 48, I have a guest and she's in a bubble bath, so I think I want to start right there.
Speaker 1:If I have a lady in a bubble bath on my podcast. I should probably get to it right away. That is the case today, for anyone who's listening. I want you to use theater. To the mind is Kendall Tubby, my longtime producer on the Pat Walsh show, is joining us from a bubble bath. I just called at the right time, or I think we called each other. What have you but splash?
Speaker 2:Can you guys hear this?
Speaker 1:I will admit this is the first time I've had a conversation. Well, I can't say it's the first time I've had a conversation with someone in a bubble bath, but I'll say it's the first time on the phone, doing any kind of a conversation or interview. You know, I may have spoken to someone in a bubble bath before you know, I mean I mean certainly.
Speaker 2:I think I have.
Speaker 1:But Kendall is joining us from her bubble bath. How are you, kendall?
Speaker 2:Hey, oh hey, pat, I miss you so much, I miss everybody. How you do it, I miss you too.
Speaker 1:I'm just, I'm doing great. Everything's getting ready to work on the house. Put some big old French glass French doors in my living room. Local businesses, southgate glass, shout out. You know. Do you know? Do you want to refurbish the kitchen a little bit? And just being positive, and thank God, I'm healthy. You know what's new with you. What's new? You're in Vegas now, so this weekend, of course, first of all, just, you're doing okay. Obviously you're doing okay if you're in a bubble bath.
Speaker 2:I'm doing awesome. I'm kind of recovering a little bit today. I wouldn't say I'm hungover, but I'm relaxing. I was up and down the strip all day yesterday, so, yeah, I'm bubble baths, and today so what was?
Speaker 1:what was the weather like yesterday as you were up and down the strip?
Speaker 2:Well, it was perfect. In fact, I even was maybe a little bit hot. It might be starting to get a little bit hot already Now. I was wearing a really big red sequined jacket.
Speaker 1:So that might have had a little bit to do with it. Same fashion yesterday. That's blowing my friends away with that one. I surprised them, yeah sure.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I started off the Guy Fieri's tailgate party at 1030 in the morning and it was pretty cool then, but definitely by the afternoon I took it off. I had to take that sequined jacket off, perfect weather. I know everyone was worried it might rain, but it was absolutely beautiful yesterday in Las Vegas and it's about 55 degrees now.
Speaker 1:So you went to Guy Fieri's tailgate party.
Speaker 2:Yes, I did. You would be so proud of me. It was my very first tailgate party.
Speaker 1:Wow, so I know the listeners.
Speaker 2:You guys know I'm not really into sports. I've never been to a tailgate and so, yeah, I saw that he was going to be here in town. He was going to be having a tailgate party and it was really awesome. There's all the food and music and even Gordon Ramsay made an appearance. It was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1:I mean for your first tailgate party to be a Guy Fieri tailgate party where you know there's going to be great food. I'm sure they were serving up food. Did you eat any of the food? What was you serving up?
Speaker 2:Yeah, they had all kinds of stuff. I'm mad that I didn't go for the lobster roll first, because by the time I went and I got audio and I was taking pictures doing all the stuff, I went for a lobster roll and they were sold out. But I did get some burgers and some sushi and some like little corn kind of a thing with cheese on it.
Speaker 2:That sounds good to me, it was a lot of fun and, yeah, it was free, so you could buy tickets too, but I was able to register for a free ticket. It was awesome. It was like such a fun thing to be able to do in Las Vegas for free and there was a lot of music and there was DJs and stuff. And then Guy Fieri was up there on stage. It was so cool and it went to about three-thirty or so and then he was on stage and he said all right, everybody, I got to go to the Super Bowl and he took off.
Speaker 1:Of course, that's the main thing. That's what? Yeah, the Super Bowl is all about the Super Bowl, so that's real. That's very cool that you got to tailgate with that group Other than tailgating with Guy Fieri. What is it? How is it different in Las Vegas? What did you notice? That was different because it was Super Bowl weekend.
Speaker 2:Well, what I love the most, even not being a football or sports person, I just love the energy of everybody out here and seeing all the casinos and the strip packed with all the different bands. I love fashion. You know I love fashion and I always loved it when you came in with your matching jersey and hat and everything for the teams that you love your Dodger stuff and your Ram stuff. It was really cool just to see everybody's fashion Out on the strip. I took quite a lot of photos of everybody's fashion. I just I love seeing everybody, whether they're for the cheese or the 49ers. It was really cool seeing everybody just so proud and supporting their teams up and then even like teams that never even made it to the super bowl too. That was really cool.
Speaker 1:seeing everybody where that stuff Also, yeah you got to represent your team, that's for sure. So you, um wow, so did you. Did you watch the game?
Speaker 2:Yeah, we kind of made our rounds to different, different bars and different areas and I didn't watch the halftime show but I did watch like pieces of the game and a couple of the commercials.
Speaker 1:I didn't watch a what so you?
Speaker 2:watch the commercial.
Speaker 1:What did you? What did you um? What did you do in lieu of watching the the halftime show? Well, I was.
Speaker 2:I was taking photos With the flamingos.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I would rather take photos with flamingos than watch the halftime show I would take photos with almost any animal Than watch the lion. Perhaps I'd even take, you know, uh, whatever, rather than watch the halftime show. I'm sorry, that's just the way it is. No, I did not. My brother and I sat in the backyard and we filmed the halftime show. Brother and I sat in the backyard and we feasted On mexican chili casserole and we listened to government mule doing pink floyd On an album I was never aware of, called dark side of the mule, which was awesome.
Speaker 1:So, I ignored, completely ignored, the halftime show. Uh, but you were taking pictures of flamingos. Well, that's so. That was a good.
Speaker 2:I was, I was and you know what, pat, if it was somebody that you and I really were crazy about, like we, I think I would have watched that. I know you don't really like the weekend, but I did enjoy the weekend and but I'm not really into usher so maybe if they had like mike patten On the halftime show I would have watched. But I'm sorry, yeah, I can't have my.
Speaker 1:They can't have mike patten for a number of reasons and which I won't get into, but read between the lines.
Speaker 1:And because mike patten has rock and roll. That's not why he's not there. Uh right, jz, just wondering I wonder if we'll see ever a rock band. But it cracks me up. It doesn't crack me up, it annoys me. Actually, when, when the reasoning is that, well, maybe this won't play worldwide, why the only? So you're telling me that the only music that plays worldwide, apparently according to jz and for those people who put on this halftime stuff is is rap. That's it. That's the only thing america accepts. It's the only thing the world accepts. I, I beg to differ. I mean, there's a lot of good rock out there. You know what I mean. And I could go down a litany of bands, but whatever that's for, that's for a different discussion.
Speaker 1:But now didn't watch the halftime. There was one commercial and I have no idea what it was. Now, one commercial, because I didn't really watch any of the commercials. I watched one, um, uh, jeez, I no clue what it was, but I I remember it was. Uh, something in my wheelhouse. God, I wish I could remember now, but it, it, I. I even said to my brother and my sister I said, okay, that one that's a commercial I like, whatever it was about, but no, I, overall I didn't watch me any of the commercials. What about you?
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, you can't really remember it very well then, and uh maybe it wasn't that great, but I I did a lot of hanging out and chatting and stuff during the commercials. So I only really glanced at the tv during like one commercial and it happened to be, uh, jason memoa. So it was perfect timing and he was um, I think it was, for I want to say it was him with the guys from the scrubs tv show, and then it was like flash dance, you know, and he, he went back and then the water fell on him and then then there was jessica beal, so like the original flash dance, so that's all I.
Speaker 2:That's all I really remember of it, but I like that one so Okay, so you, so you don't okay.
Speaker 1:So you don't have a big Memory of all the commercials either, which I don't know. Maybe that's what's happening now, by the way, just so you know. Theater of the mind here on pats peeps, podcast 48. This is kendall toby, my longtime producer on the pat wall. She's in a bubble bath right now. She's splashing around, so you go ahead and run that one around your cranium for a couple of times and give that a spin. She's in her bubble bath. Calgon, take me away. Um, who did who are you rooting for? Were you rooting for anyone?
Speaker 2:Well, I was. You know I'm not really into football, but I was rooting for the sheets and like, the main reason why I did that is because I love arrowheads. So If you guys remember, always on pat show I would, during your baseball Series game, I would pick. I remember I'd always picked, just like the names of things that I love, like Like the cardinals and like the fillies, and usually they're animal related. Yes, but I do love arrowheads. So I went with arrowheads and, yes, I wanted the chief. So it was awesome. And our mutual friend robin, she was telling me that I was an idiot to to go for them and um, but anyway, yeah, who's the idiot now? Who's the idiot now, robin?
Speaker 1:I love when someone tells you you're an idiot for rooting for a team I was trying to be nice to her, because I'm not even.
Speaker 1:She's a giant fan. She's calling you an idiot. I'm trying to adopt her more in a baseball and football. To be brutally honest, I'm trying to. I believe Kendall is more of a baseball person because, um, like many of us who appreciate baseball, I appreciate football too, but I appreciate baseball. By the way, dodgers Padre's reporting is they're going to play in korea early this year.
Speaker 1:I like baseball because of the fact that in a baseball game, it's spring time or it's summertime, and every game isn't a matter of life and death, like it isn't football, which is special in football, I agree, but those games are also very special in baseball in that someone like you know, like myself, or kendall, and, and, yes, robin, who, hi, robin, how you doing? She does talk, talks. Now she talks and annoys everyone around her. It's a time where you can just kind of share the day and you can be enjoying the game and you can have a conversation, even when you're not bugging the people around you and and and you know, like that, and it's just uh, it's more of a uh, I don't know, I don't know what the difference. There's just a difference to the feel of it.
Speaker 2:So I'm trying to adopt, yeah, and you're right, yeah, I'm definitely more into baseball, whereas I mean football was cool. It was incredible to be out here in Las Vegas while the Super Bowl was here. It's definitely like one of the most exciting things that it feels. We have Super Bowl and the Lunar, New Year and also Valentine's Day, so it's been like just a crazy week of just awesome energy out here. But when you talk about football and baseball, I have always loved baseball a bit more because I never really met my dad and my real dad until it's 13 and I grew up with my uncle and my uncle. He would always play catch with me and I'd watch baseball with him. So for me yeah, for me, it's kind of like very, you know, my uncle kind of raised me in that way. He I grew up watching cartoons on the weekend with him and playing catch, doing baseball, and then he was also really big into Kung Fu and Bruce Lee movies. So I was I was raised with that.
Speaker 1:I love that. I love that. Wow, that's great. You know, and of course, my father loved baseball too and that kind of passed down to me as well. So I understand that I'm glad to hear you say. When I asked you, who were you rooting for and you said, well, I was rooting for the chiefs. Oh, there's the bubble bath. I was rooting for the chiefs and I'll tell you why I was thinking please don't say Taylor Swift. I know she's not going to say Taylor Swift. For the entire game, every situation within the game, they gave the Taylor Swift reaction, everyone noticing that. Every situation. All right, this is a big one, it's four down in one. They've got to make one is Taylor Swift looking like oh God, and she's hugging some woman. I guess the woman was popular, but you know me and actresses or actors, I don't know. So she was hugging people in the booth and then every play, that was the reaction from Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2:So yeah, but that you can tell you can see what she's doing in there when they show her. Yeah.
Speaker 1:You know, and I want to say this, two things. Number one, robin. Going back to Robin, I'm not saying she annoys everyone around the time. I love you Robin, I'm just saying only at a ballgame. Well, you know, we get some nasty looks from other people. The other thing is Taylor Swift. You know what? Again, it's not Taylor Swift's fault, it's not her fault. No, she's probably a very sweet person, she's very successful. She's just trying to go. I guess this. I guess Travis Kelsey Kelsey is obviously her boyfriend or what have you, but but boy, and if they ever break up, she but but I don't even care. But the fact is that it's not really her fault. She's not sitting in the technical director's truck and going. All right, cam, for I take the shot of Taylor on this one. You know they're not doing that.
Speaker 2:She's not doing that, they're doing that.
Speaker 1:So no offense to Taylor Swift. She's just trying to have a good time at the football game.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she's just trying to see her man and like I feel bad for them, you know, because they just want to have their relationship and like everybody's mad at her and like she's so successful and like beautiful and stuff, because the camera's always going to be on her. So, yeah, like there's so many people who are genuinely really pissed off about it and a couple of people I know, you know, every time she comes on, they just, they just start yelling at the TV.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So what are they yelling? Are they saying like, hey, stop showing her. Or are they saying, hey, we can't stand Taylor Swift? Which one are they they're?
Speaker 2:like they're like get the camera off of her and not Taylor. We stop, we want football.
Speaker 1:Right, I agree with them. I absolutely do and I would be willing to bet. I don't know who these people are, but probably they. They probably understand at the same time that it's not her fault. She's just standing there and they just keep choosing to go to her. I said this before. It's like Kurt Warner.
Speaker 1:When Kurt Warner, that was a great story with Kurt Warner when he was, you know, bagging groceries at the supermarket stocking shelves, and he goes to the Rams long story short. He wins the Super Bowl but he had met this Brenda, and then they get married and she's got kids with special needs and he adopts those kids, got turned into a movie greatest show on turf. It's a beautiful story, but every other pass or a handoff, all right, let's go to Brenda Warner in a stand, see what she's looking like right now. I mean like enough, even though it's my team, I didn't need it anymore, it's, you know, it's, it's, it's overdone. And then she, they're kissing at the end and that was cool. Whatever, I don't, I don't really care. More power to them as far as I'm concerned. You know, whatever, I just don't care for. Girls are catching on to football because of Taylor Swift, cause I don't buy that, maybe there's a percentage.
Speaker 1:but maybe there's a percentage, but I don't know, I don't know about all that I never thought about that.
Speaker 2:Like maybe all these teenage girls were really into her and just and the Super Bowl and everything right now and and him. Like maybe this is going to make a whole new generation of like female football lovers.
Speaker 1:Well, that's what someone was telling me, that was what someone was convinced of me of on my show, someone by the name of Kitty, who said that I'm like well, you know, I mean perhaps, perhaps that is the case, but I'm going to be honest.
Speaker 1:I'm like, I'm kind of like Bill Burr. Why do I care? What? Nfl doesn't have enough money. You're already pushing an agenda which I'll get to that in the future, but you already have enough money. Why do I care?
Speaker 1:As a guy that gets up every Sunday morning to watch my football team, I have no interest in whether or not 14 year old girls are wanting to watch the NFL. I don't care. Good for them. I hope they catch on, but I kind of wish they catch on organically. It's like I didn't need some kind of a half game, half time show or commercial or some kind of entertainer or what have you to influence me to like sports. I just happened to like sports. I watched this. Oh, this is kind of fun. The sport itself should be enough. But again, I'm not whatever. I mean, if you do watch it and that is the case I have nothing against that either. But yeah, whatever, I'm just a crotchety old man. Now, whatever White guy, what's happening to me? It's funny, it's funny. What are you talking about on the podcast? It's Pat Walsh, pat, walsh, pat. That's good. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, well, what's it? What's the uh. Hey, we're doing pretty good on this Pat's peeps. There People are listening. By the way, kettle Toby producer that's so awesome.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I just saw those little peeps the other day and I was thinking about you, the little Easter peeps, and it was making me think about your podcast and your little duckie.
Speaker 1:Thank you. Thank you, yeah, we're at almost number 50, which again, I'm very proud of that our Pat's peeps podcast, and we have some big things coming up this week actually on involving Pat's peeps. And plus, we're going to have Kendall on whenever she has something interesting going on and we're going to uh, it's not always going to be by the phone, we're just bare with us as we update some equipment and get our technology in order to where she's not going to be on the phone like this.
Speaker 2:It'll be in the bubble bath.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean, imagine if we had the camera to this whole mix and then you're in the bubble bath. I mean that adds a whole perspective to the Pat's peeps.
Speaker 2:Yeah, People are going to have to. People are going to have to pay a lot of money for that one.
Speaker 1:We're not talking that kind of peeps already. So stop it, we're not. We're not going that direction. But um, so what did you? How? So you don't live anywhere near the the uh main drag there in, in the strip there in Vegas, so did you notice?
Speaker 2:anything, I'm about 15 minutes away.
Speaker 1:You noticed, it was the was, it was the town, overwhelmed with people. Yes, did you notice some big difference there?
Speaker 2:Yes, well, I did notice a lot of people earlier in the day, but definitely like later on, when the actual Super Bowl was going on, there was barely anyone out on the street. It was almost like a ghost town, so you could tell there was. Everybody was in there watching the game. And um, but yeah, there's a yeah at home or on the street.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Most of the locals here. They just stay at home. A lot of locals don't even go out to the strip.
Speaker 1:I imagine that's a pretty good time If you want to go out for dinner or go see, uh, whatever, go to some, do something on the strip, gamble, whatever it is you do in Las Vegas. Uh, that might be a pretty good time for those people who aren't even into the game, you know, cause no one's uh, I'm sure everyone's probably just either, like you said, watching a game or in the stadium or at home or in the casino actually watching the game. So maybe that opens up some things for people.
Speaker 2:Uh, one of the other things. Yeah, like I yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 2:I wish you go see the, the Budweiser Clyde Dale horses. And there was a lot of people there. Yeah, there was a lot of people there for that. But I I managed to get right up front and it was so cool. They did their little delivery, they, they got the horses all ready to go and they hitched up and then the the two guys went up there with the dog and then they had two cases of beer and then, like, they rode around the parking lot and they dropped it off to the grocery store. It was so cute. And then, um, they gave this man, they gave the store manager at the grocery store, they gave him a Super Bowl ticket.
Speaker 2:Really oh yeah, so that was really cool. Yeah, that was awesome, and so I took photos of all that. It was so cool to just see someone win a ticket, because the tickets are so expensive, and so this happened on a Saturday afternoon, right before the game.
Speaker 1:They surprised him with the ticket, or did he know he was getting it?
Speaker 2:Oh no, he was surprised, I mean, and he was looking at that thing. They blew it up real big, it was almost as tall as me and it was so sweet, Like you could tell, like he was going to start crying, like he was looking at that thing Like it was a newborn baby.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's that's fantastic. I love that. I love that.
Speaker 2:I think everybody there kind of managed to wait it to get him that ticket everybody else, all the other workers and so they got him the ticket. It was really, really sweet.
Speaker 1:One thing that Kendall pointed out to me. I don't know if anyone's seen this or tried this, but we may, we may I'm not sure I haven't made up my mind yet Try this on my radio show. By the way, we're still gonna do our live old-time radio show it's boy on but on the pow-wall show, that is, we're gonna attempt to do an old-time radio show which we were gonna do at Christmas. Then people got sick and then now it's just a whole thing. So we'll get back to that. So I'm looking for that. But we're also gonna try this on a show. Kendall will come in and she is. She has brought it to my attention that there is a Empirical Doritos alcohol. What is this all about?
Speaker 2:Yeah, so they did a mash-up with Doritos and they made this infused alcohol. I believe it's not church, I think it's cheese flavored, doritos flavored, and I think it's vodka. I don't have the bottle right in front of me, but it did just get delivered, so I was thinking it would be super fun to come in and we can do a little taste test on your show.
Speaker 1:Oh, vacuum distilled Doritos nacho. It's kind of a blurry right there, but I'm trying to see what says vodka or whatever it says. But you know, I mean that is pretty unusual. I will have to say that that is pretty strange, but it's interesting. Yeah, I, I would. Yeah, I might give that a shot. So, yeah, maybe you'll come in. When do you think it? Well, you're in Vegas, I don't know. Whatever you're, yeah, I'll be back.
Speaker 2:I'll be back soon, I'll bring the bottle and, yeah, it'd be a lot of fun. We can taste, test it and it'll be so good to see you and talk to listeners. And, oh, you would also be proud of me, pat. I did try to win a Super Bowl ticket for myself. So I didn't win it, obviously, but I did try.
Speaker 2:So there's a thing it's called the Pepsi vault and what you do is I stood in a really long line for like Almost an hour and you basically go up to it and you stand in there, you pick a beer, see, and they give you a code and then you go up to the vault and you type it in and you can maybe want a ticket. You went all kinds of stuff. They're giving away all kinds of 49er and chief gear. They're giving away Pepsi swag. I didn't see anybody when the actual ticket, but I did see everybody went all all kinds of other stuff and they gave me Pepsi and they gave me some glasses. So it was fun, but I wish, I wish I would have won it. Seriously, I would have said, pat, I want it because I know that you would have loved to go way more than me. You know, I'm not even into football, I would have said.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:I got you a ticket. You're going to Super Bowl.
Speaker 1:Oh, it's so nice, that's very very thoughtful.
Speaker 2:I would have ought to done that for sure, absolutely.
Speaker 1:Thank you for thinking of me on that. I thank you for trying anyhow.
Speaker 2:Very nice.
Speaker 1:Yeah, very, very nice. How majestic were the Clydesdales, by the way, oh.
Speaker 2:My gosh. They were so majestic. They're so huge, because I have an Arabian and my Arabian is like barely like. He's about half the size of the Clydesdales, so it's always such a treat to see a horse that's so much bigger and I appreciate. Everything that they're doing was really cool to see them Hacking up and and just seeing how they take care of them. I just love it. But they're, they're enormous. I saw this one girl. I put pictures on my website if you guys want to see him.
Speaker 1:Okay, so I'm on my.
Speaker 2:Ktalk now. Yeah, ktalk now check out the blog section and then I'm gonna have all the 49er in chief fashion on my next post coming up soon, once I Get out of the bubble bath, and I'll post some more Super Bowl pictures. But yeah, so so it was. It was really, really cool. There's one girl, and she was like the size of one of its legs, and I'm only five too, so she, I mean it. Yeah, it looked like the leg went up to almost our shoulder.
Speaker 1:It's insane how massive they are well, I'm just curious, because when we talk about, when you talk about, super Bowl commercials, one that goes way back for me and I and I probably remember it not just during the Super Bowl, but I certainly remember during Christmas as well are the Clydesdale Budweiser horse. When you say bud.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You've said you know I love that song, I love the, the commercial. That's one that really stands out to me. So I'm a big fan of the Clydesdale, so that is really great. So check out Ktalk now I better let you go before you either drop your fingers, get wrinkled.
Speaker 2:I am definitely a cream, but I love you guys. Thanks for having me right here on Pat. Pete, pat, I love you, I miss you. I'll be soon.
Speaker 1:I'll be in there with this, with the Doritos bottle, but yeah, that's good, let us know when your microphone's ready to go, so we can do it the other way, joe right.
Speaker 2:Bye, bye.
Speaker 1:Very good, there goes Kendall. Goodbye, there goes, kendall. Ladies and gentlemen, kendall Toby for those of you know her from the Pat Walsh show is heard everywhere on the IHeart radio app, both locally, nationally and Internationally. Very much appreciate her joining us, giving us kind of a scene of what was going on over there. Yesterday I did get a lot of very positive feedback from podcast 47, so that really that that positive feedback gave me some Ideas on kind of how I want to go forward with things. So again, I sure do appreciate that. I really really appreciate the feedback. It means a lot to us. So stay tuned for some big things coming up on Pat's peeps.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna try this one time today because I have actually four times. Hey, I Hope I don't get you know, hope that'll get the again. I'm doing this. I don't own the rights to it, to any of this. I don't claim to own any of the rights to any of this music. I Am doing this If big brother is listening for educational purposes, and I mean that simply educational purposes to educate people about music that I have culled from my Rare 45 collection.
Speaker 1:All right for part of the Pat wall show Not to be a radio station but to educate them on very rare records. So today, gang and I say gang because I have picked one from the collection From spanky and our gang. Anyone remember spanky and our gang? Usually I don't give you the name of the artist first, pardon me, but this is really interesting. So I just because, since I'm gonna play four things off of this, I thought let me just kind of cut to the chase today and tell you what is spanky and our gang.
Speaker 1:Now, spanky and our gang. This was an American sort of a what they called like sunshine pop, you know, like the 1910 fruit gum company, things, like you know that kind of stuff. They were led by Elaine spanky, mcfarland and the. The band's name comes from how roaches, our gang comedies of the 30s which I loved, known later on as the little rascals. By the way, that there was a similarity a McFarland surname without of George McFarland, spanky, so they. That was a whole thing on itself in itself. So the group was known for its. Its vocal harmonies had major hits in the United States, in Canada in 67 and 68. Sunday will never be the same lazy day. Sunday morning, like to get to know you.
Speaker 1:The first album, which this one, is on Mercury Records, the record label. It's I'm hoping it's a 45. It's interesting Because it doesn't really say whether it's a 45 or it's a 33 and a third. And I'll explain. It is a seven-inch record. It says Right on the label white label, mercury Records. Promotional copy, not for sale, from Mercury's album, like to get to know you.
Speaker 1:And someone wrote at the time from the radio station 68. So this is 1968, that this was put on a shelf. I will say that I noticed at the very beginning of this and perhaps it will not affect at least the play of it. It would affect it if you were trying to sell it. But there's a chip in the blank track where you lay the needle down to start the record. There's a bit of a chip there, but I think it'll play just fine. Now, this the reason I well, when I pulled it out, I really pulled it out for this reason, but when I looked at it I said, my God, there's two songs on each side. Two songs, pardon me, excuse me. So two songs each side, which is very rare for a 45.
Speaker 1:Their second album, like To Get To Know you that's what this is from, released in April of 68. Thus the reason they put 68 on there. Two singles were released Sunday morning in the winter, and then that reached number 30, february of 68. Like To Get To Know you, which I'm holding my hand, that was released in spring, reached number 17, june 8th of 68. And then that's that.
Speaker 1:B-side Three Ways From Tomorrow also received considerable airplay and the album included the rendition of Stardust. Stardust is on this. That's the second song, after I'd like to get to know you, and a version of Fred Neal's Everybody's Talking, which is not on this. Of course. That was subsequently a hit single for Harry Nielsen, everybody's talking about me, remember that one that was also in Midnight Cowboy. So what I thought I'd do, just to kind of cut to the chase, is to play just a wee bit of each one of these songs, starting with Side One, the featured side. So this is I'd like to get to know you. I mean, this band performed on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and a few other places. So here we go. First song Okay, see, it's hitting that little spot on the record, like I said, that chip. So I'm gonna have to advance this a little bit. Here you go, instagramcom.
Speaker 1:I figured I might chance her, but I'd like to get to know. Yes, I would, but I'd like to get to know. They used to play this on the radio quite often. I remember, as I was growing up, they also performed on the Hollywood Palace. Anyone remember the Hollywood Palace, the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour? And that resulted in CBS Standards and Practices Division receiving numerous complaints about the song's title being used during the family viewing hours. Well, I can't promise that I'll spend a day with you. I can't promise that I'll find a way with you. I can't promise that I'll find a way with you.
Speaker 1:There was a song called Give it Damn which was released as a single in late summer of 68. I did receive airplay in several markets because of the curse word. That's the one that they were complaining about. Not I'd like to get to know you, but this song. There's a curse word Because it was a common and racial equality. Became the theme song for the New York Urban Coalition. Became a regional hit. Number 43 of the song reached number 26 on the Canadian RPM Magazine charts. But one of the complaints came from Richard Nixon, president of the time. Give it damn that's the name of the song. Became John Lindsay's campaign song during his successful run for mayor of New York. Let's listen to the second song on this side, and it's a standard. It's called Stardust, my dad's favorite song.
Speaker 2:Sometimes I wonder, I wonder why, why I spend the lonely nights.
Speaker 1:I mean, this isn't my dad's favorite version, but probably not called that melody haunts my reverie and I am once again with you.
Speaker 2:You are in our love as new.
Speaker 1:And each kiss is an inspiration, an inspiration, an inspiration. Hahaha, good place to stop now when I skip. See, it's a genuine record. I mean, I'm sure that thing hasn't been played since 1968. And it is just so unusual. Let me flip it over here and see what's on the other side. Yeah, when they skip, that just says, yep, this is a real record. Prescription for the Blues is the lead song on the second side. So let's take a listen to prescription for the Blues. And on Halloween of 68, the group's lead guitarist, malcolm Hale, was found dead in a Chicago home. The death caused by bronchial pneumonia. Here it is. This is prescription for the Blues. Wow, interesting intro. Barely hear it All day long.
Speaker 2:I worry All night long. I'm blue. Wow, I feel so awfully lonesome, I don't know what to do, so I ask you doctor to see if you can. There's a skip.
Speaker 1:There you go. There's a skip. I'll put it to the next song. But they said he was found dead in a Chicago home from bronchial pneumonia. A book in 2007 stated that Hale died on a Sunday at age 27 from carbon monoxide poisoning due to a bad heating system. There's the next song on the record, the final one. It's called Suzanne. Let's take a listen. I've never heard this. Anyone ever heard any of these songs. Suzanne Spanky in our gang. Very light intro.
Speaker 1:After the band dissolved, mcfarlane had some success as a solo artist in 75, she briefly appeared in the film Moon Runners as a rough and tumble bartender. They'll say Big skip. So there's skips all over this record. This is obviously not taken care of. Someone did not take care of this. See, the whole thing really is skips. So that's the first time that I've had that happen. But that's okay. That just tells you it's real. Plus, it didn't even get really good played. Wow, all right. So that was a pretty random record, listen. I want to say thank you to Kendall Tobey. I want to say thank you to you for tuning in today. I sure appreciate you listening. Happy Monday to you. Be blessed. I'll be back for number 49 tomorrow and, by the way, congratulations to the fans of the Kansas City Chiefs. Okay, sorry to all my Niner fans who are. I mean, I have friends. I mean not Niner fans, but friends who are Niner fans. I know they're not happy today, so thank you for listening. We'll see you next time here on Pat's peeps podcast.
