Welcome, welcome to the Pats Peeps podcast daily podcast. This is number 213. Guess what I see as I look out my studio window into the beautiful foothills of Northern California. I see sunshine, sunny, loving it. A little bit warmer, still cool out, but probably in the 60s, but it's feeling good to see that sun coming in through the window. Hope you're well. Today. It's a Thursday, thursday already, 20th day of February 2025. Thank you to my ever-growing audience and for those of you who are going to patspeepscom to check out our businesses and our exclusive offers. Thank you, thank you, thank you 213 today. And, by the way, I'm the host. My name is Pat Walsh. I'm the host of the Pat Walsh Show heard on KFPK in Sacramento, 93.1 FM, 1530 AM, and we stream live everywhere on that free iHeart app, just like my peeps here, on all your streaming platforms.
Speaker 1:You know it's very different on radio than on my podcast for many reasons. One of the things that's different on the radio show is I take phone calls On one of the last radio shows in America that cares about what their audience thinks, apparently, because a lot of times you barely. I mean there are some shows and, to their credit, you still hear listeners call in the audience, call in and share their opinions here. You know listeners call in the audience, call in and share their opinions. I like that. I enjoy, you know, hearing people's. You know the varying opinions and things as we weigh in on a variety of topics and on my show I'm not the kind of guy that's going to, you know, yell and scream at you and, you know, go off the rails just because you and I perhaps may differ on a topic. We may think differently about a topic and make no listen.
Speaker 1:Neither my podcast or my radio show, neither one, are political, but sometimes it's political To me. Again, I say this all the time, but it reflects everyday, regular conversation. If you're sitting there in a room for a couple of hours, you and some other folks friends, what have you? Family you're going to run a gamut of topics. I mean the topics just run the gamut, right. Maybe you saw something on TV you're going to talk about. You heard a song. Maybe you went to a concert. Maybe you saw something politically you're going to talk about. Whatever it is. It's just a conversation. Things pop up randomly, so I'm not a political show per se either one of them. But yes, I'm going to include politics once in a while certainly is. I don't restrict myself on my show.
Speaker 1:So last night on my radio show I'm talking a little politics and that's cool. I was just having fun with it really. Actually, we got off on this um, actually what, what I was doing, I wasn't even really talking politics. I take that back. Yeah, we talked a little bit about Social Security and Musk and Doge and all of that, but basically we were talking about Social Security and are you nervous about what they're doing or you think that's just perfectly fine.
Speaker 1:But anyhow, later on I was playing a conversation between a couple of people who were sort of reuniting, and these are two gentlemen that I worked with for a long time, each one of them Dave Williams, at one station, which is KFPK, where I still work, and then Bob Nathan at KSTE, where I used to work before KFPK. We at some point became one big happy family, but by that time Bob had left, bob Nathan had left, dave Williams was still on at KFPK. So I worked with Bob initially and then came as we merged as a family and I came when KSTE sort of became part of KFPK and that whole thing. I then worked with Dave Williams on the morning show with Amy Lewis, anyhow. So I'm just talking about this and I'm reminiscing about that and I'm playing some audio of a conversation that they were having online and they are reminiscing and looking back at their career and they're talking about working at KFBK and they're bringing up people that I know, my former boss, Pat, pat Pat, can you come in here, pat? This boss, right, who would go, nameless, whatever.
Speaker 1:But they're talking about all this stuff that I recall and at one point you know, because Rush Limbaugh worked at KFPK rest in peace, rush you Rush, you loved him, you hated him, you didn't care, whatever. It's the same thing with everyone, and I'll get to that point momentarily. But so they're talking about a story where, you know, dave says you know, I took Rush Limbaugh out, I took him to a country bar because you know again, they're in Sacramento. He takes him to a country bar called the yellow rose or something, and, uh, he says rush goes out and buys his first pair of blue jeans that he ever owned in his life and and he wore a steelers football jersey. And they go to this country bar and he says that's about as country as rush is ever going to be. And then they begin to reminisce about the time they took him on a rafting trip uh, on one of the rivers around here American River, I think it was the American River, anyhow. They're telling the story and talking about how the boat tipped over and how Rush did this and they were just giving some insight, very friendly.
Speaker 1:And I look at my phone and I see the name David, now as a talk show host who's been doing this for a long time. I really know my audience. I know many times. I know who the callers are. There's many repeat callers. I love that my audience are mainly there. They always have nicknames which are awesome. Dave called in last week and created quite a stir on my show.
Speaker 1:A lot of people come into my defense. I don't have to do that very often. I don't get a lot of times. I don't get a lot of people who call me and give me grief or are a complete smart ass on my show and, believe me, you don't have to agree with me. I'm not going to yell at you. If we can have a civil conversation, even give each other a little crap, I don't care. Again, that's part of natural conversation, just being fun and natural. But here's what I'm not going to really put up with. Is you insulting, you know, me or my audience, or essentially referring to Rush Limbaugh's family as a bunch of fascists and KKK members and Nazis? So essentially that's what he was comparing Rush Limbaugh to Nazis.
Speaker 1:And you know what? When he brought it up, here's what I did. I hung up on him and I basically I basically I did say hey, you know what, David? Here's the thing why don't you, if you're going to come in and kind of trash, why don't you listen to a different show? I know you think you got to me and all that, but all you did is demonstrated that you're an ass. I said you know, basically, here's the thing, david, if you really knew the backstory of what KKK is, the violence, the murders, the horrible tragedy they've caused in this world, if you actually did just 10 seconds, 10 hours, 10 days, 10 years of research, whatever, not 10 seconds, I take that back. My point being, I don't think he's done 10 seconds, or maybe he has. He's just being a smartass, which again I don't mind. He's done 10 seconds, or maybe he has. He's just being a smart ass, which again, I don't mind find out what a Nazi really is and how Jews were actually treated.
Speaker 1:Go to a death camp or a concentration camp, like I did, really dig in there and see, because what you say is inane, it's complete and utter BS. So I gave him that spiel. If I had to do again and I probably will have the opportunity, because I believe he probably thinks well, I got to him, which he didn't I'm just not going to listen to you speak about a dead man's relatives like that, a man who didn't deserve it. Neither did his relatives. And you're lying, obviously, and everyone knows that. Next time I'm going to keep him on the line, though I'm just going to keep him on the line. I'm going to have a friendly. I wish I'd have done this last night.
Speaker 1:You know, ask for comparisons and really dig in and just let him dig his own hole. You know what I mean. That's what happens with rodents. A lot of times they'll dig their own hole. You know what I mean. That's what happens with rodents. A lot of times they'll dig their own hole, crawl on in there. So next time we'll keep them on the line.
Speaker 1:And you know, here's the other thing that I've always realized. I was talking to Ken dog, my movie review. He's on every Friday night dogs movie housecom. No-transcript. I said, man, you know, I don't even know how we got on this topic. I think someone was backstabbed. I said, man, I'd always stick up for you, brother, because when you have me as a friend, I'm a friend, I'm loyal to the Hilton. If I ever heard anyone talk bad about you or whatever, which I never have well, I'd come to your defense because you're a good man. He goes. I feel the same way about you, pat, feel the same way about you, pat, and I've had to a couple times. I went what? What do you mean? Because here's the other part of kid, though he's not just a movie reviewer, he's also in the grocery business and he's been there doing this for many, many years, like three decades. So he knows the grocery and so he interacts with people at the grocery store and he goes.
Speaker 1:Well, this was some time ago and basically this is an older couple who you know they didn't like your rhetoric on trump and you know what politics and all that. And I started laughing and I said well, you tell them hi, you tell them. Pat says hi. When you see him again, let's say we love you ken dog on your show, but when that guy starts talking about, I can't take that. I don't know. Maybe call me some names.
Speaker 1:Here's the thing. The honest truth is, and I've always known this, there's not one person who puts themselves out there, whether it's a podcast, a radio show, a TV show, whatever it might be social media what have you that everyone's going to love, everyone's going to like or everyone's going to hate, other than maybe the View and Rachel Maddow? No, I'm tech joy read. No People, some people like them. There's got to be upward to 20, 30 people. Anyhow, I'm just saying I'm not trying to pick anyone out, michael Moore, but I'm just saying not everyone is going to like what you have to say. You can't expect that everyone's going to agree with you, and so I don't. So to each their own. I just appreciate that they listen for my friend on the show and have to suffer through my inane thoughts about whatever it might be politics, politics or Donald Trump or whatever. Again, I'm not a political show.
Speaker 1:So today, listen two things as we continue on here on Pat's Peeps 213,. My friends, can you believe it? Please go to patspeepscom. Listen. I never ask you to do anything, but I'm going to keep asking you, please. We're trying to build our business base. We would love to have a local business. If you do good things, please go to patspeepscom and look at our special offers. That's the only thing I ever ask you, and I'm doing this for free. You don't have to pay anything. I promise you. If you look at my brother's, my brother Tim's, if you listen to what we had to say about a special offer, please just go there and look, because we're trying to save you money. We're trying to support local business.
Speaker 1:It's just patspeepscom, it's my podcast and it's the other part where you and I can support local business, and local businesses can count on my audience to go in there and get some really cool stuff, sometimes for free, okay, and I'll explain that. Like, if you buy, I don't want to get, I've got some deals. I just don't want to clog up my podcast. So I'm just I'm asking you to do that if you would, because I think that you will. Obviously, I think it'll benefit you Today.
Speaker 1:By the way, like I was going to say before I went off track there on Betts Peeps 213, do I have to give a trigger warning? I don't feel like I got to give a trigger warning and I'm not going to. Hey, there could be some F-bombs coming your way today. I'm going to play this stuff. I've just decided on the podcast. I'm just going to play it for what it is, all right. So if you go back, this has got to be back like 19,. This has got to be in the maybe the early seventies, I'd imagine. Okay, sometimes you're getting ready to do a commercial. Some people claim this really aired. It did not air. There's no possibility this aired. So don't try to convince me that.
Speaker 1:But sometimes when you're getting ready to do a video shoot, right, you got to set, it's all set up and you got someone who's going to host the video and they're going to be talking about in this case, cars, car salesmen and car salesmen in the Bay Area when you're just kind of doing a mic check and a lighting check and doing, you know, your white balancing and all of that, which is a term, that that you camera people use if they're running a video camera. They got to white balance things and everything else is you got to have its way. So sometimes, because I did this when I used to set up the news, like the 11 o'clock and six o'clock news, six o'clock on Saturdays, and the 11 o'clock news Monday through Friday KHSL TV new. You know. Khsl news Dean Reader. You know. Patty Kalish, debbie Cobb, anthony Watts, the Northern California sports team, jeff Roberts, royal Cortain uh, wendy Atherton all of them. I used to have to test the lights and the cameras, wear white balance and do all that stuff, check the mics, and I'd be a goofball and they'd be in there laughing at me. So this happens, you know, before they actually go.
Speaker 1:All right, we're ready on set. All right, take one and this would be the let's see. This would be. Oh God, what's the name of this? What was the car ad? I forgot the name of it. Anyhow, here you go. Please enjoy the pre-video video Again. Oh God, they said an F-bomb. Oh, ralph Williams Bayshore, chrysler Plymouth. All right, here we go Magazine. You've read it in the newspapers Ralph Williams Bayshore, chrysler Plymouth. All right here we go.
Speaker 4:You've read it in the newspapers. In fact, perhaps you've even seen the owner's picture, ralph Williams, the owner of Bayshore Chrysler, plymouth, 345 El Camino Real, in the city of San Bernardino. You notice the big, bald-headed son of a bitch. The man that came to San Francisco to offer them more for the dollar they spend, the San Francisco to offer them more for the dollar they spend. The man that came to San Francisco to rape each and every citizen and the whole San Francisco Bay Area Trigger, beep, beep. You don't believe it? Listen to me, I don't lie.
Speaker 1:Did that beep out? How about beeping these out A?
Speaker 4:fucking car like this, a 1966 Ford, a Country Squire, 9-factor station wagon. Don't worry about the equipment. Imagine all the fun you can have in the back and while you're doing it, imagine all the money that that bald-headed prick, ralph Williams, is going to be making on the car he's trying to fuck you out of. Yes, the man that will take every dime out of the San Francisco Bay Area and spend it on prostitutes, booze and, of course, crap tables in the city of Las Vegas on prostitutes, booze and, of course, crap tables in the city of Las Vegas. I'm sure you've heard about it. So remember this If you'd like to get fucked and lost real hard before you buy a car, come down here.
Speaker 4:Let Ralph Williams do it. Why not? Why not somebody else? Remember our address is 345 El Camino Real in the city of San Bruno. But if you come from Marin County, east Bay Area, san Jose, your money spends just as well as anybody else's, and when this bald-headed son of a bitch gets old again, you will spend money Talking about payments. Five years, payments of $100 a month. You can't get even so, shop before you buy. Base your price supplement.
Speaker 1:Ralph Williams, everyone. Yeah, you can't beat a deal like that, or can you? I don't know what about Ralph Williams, aurora North.
Speaker 4:I'd like to take 60 seconds to talk to you about my boss, ralph Williams. Now, everybody who's seen him on television knows he's a great, big, tall son of a bitch and completely bald from front to back. And I want to tell you another thing and, as I said, I only have one minute to say it. If you come out here to shop before you buy, you think you ever got fucked before on an automobile. If you try to get one of our used cars, get it, even home.
Speaker 4:Now I think the best story of all and it's our top salesman the salesman was describing the car and how perfect condition it was and everything. And he says and we stand behind every car we sell. And the man says, well, it might stand behind. If the question is, can you push? Well, I'll guarantee that's exactly what you'll do. You'll push the son of a bitch home. Now, on our 100 day guarantee or 4 000 miles, anything goes wrong with the motor transmission, we say you come back and we'll fix it. That's right, but we're gonna hold that goddamn car for 100 days until the guarantee is completely gone. Now, when we talk about five brand new tires, new brake lining, did you ever see factory rejected tires. That's what we're talking about New tires, but the factory won't even sell them. We give them for nothing. That's why they're on the automobile. So I'm just giving everybody a warning Before you buy an automobile, make sure you do not drive to 137th and Ravner North in the city of Seattle. Go anyplace else except to that bald-headed son of a bitch.
Speaker 1:There you go, ralph Williams, don't go there In Seattle. Wow, here's the furniture. Rap guy, live in rooms.
Speaker 5:Bedrooms, dynast. Oh yeah, at the market. We talking about free market Montgomery, it's just like a mini mall. Oh yeah, come shop with us. I said flea market Montgomery, it's just like, it's just like a mini mall. Hey, hey, you heard me, come shop Living room, bedrooms, diners. We got it. You see it, you'll find it. It's just like, it's just like, it's just like a million. Hey, hey, you heard me, come shop at that flea market Montgomery, it's just like it's just like Montgomery Flea Market.
Speaker 5:Hey, hey, come on. Living rooms, bedrooms, dinettes oh yeah, you can find them At the market. We talking About flea market, montgomery, it's just like. It's just like hey, hey, come on.
Speaker 1:You're about the dietary supplement story. It keeps you jumping. Thank you very much. Dietary supplements if you're like most Americans, according to fortunewell or whatever the hell this is fortunecom If you're like most Americans, probably down a daily multivitamin or you take turmeric pills from time to time. About 58%, according to this report, of US adults 20 and older, including 64% of women, 51% of men reported consuming a dietary supplement in the past 30 days. This is according to the 2017-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Last year, a poll from the Council for Responsible Nutrition or, as we like to call it, the CRN, which is a dietary supplement trade association. They suggest usage is even higher that 75% of US adults 18 and older are taking dietary supplements. Nearly all users in the CRN survey Adults 18 and older are taking dietary supplements. Nearly all users in the CRN survey 91% said the supplements are essential to maintaining their health, which is why it's so troubling. They say that supplements spur liver damage is skyrocketing.
Speaker 1:A 2022 study published in the journal Liver Transplantation. Now, I don't know about you. I read that a couple of times, at least twice a month. If I have a little time on my hands, anytime I can get my hands on Liver Transplantation Journal I am in I only read it for the cartoons, by the way and the articles found that drug-induced acute liver failure tied to herbal and dietary supplements had increased eightfold from 1995 through 2020. What's more, herbal and dietary supplements account for roughly 20% of liver toxicity cases, and that's nationwide. That's according to 2017 research published again by the hepatology. But if you need a subscription to liver transplantation monthly, you let me know, all right, and I think I can get you hooked up. This portion of the Pat's Peeps 23, or 2000, 2000, 200, I wish 213, brought to you by the most confusing commercial ever.
Speaker 2:We've seen a series of one car accidents recently involving rollovers and serious injuries to passengers. I don't know if it's video games or what, but it's so unfair to, after something like this, to blame people in the backseat or say they deserved it. I don't like consoling these parents about what's happened, but I'll do it until it stops. Will you please stop?
Speaker 1:Yes, I will, I'm Scott.
Speaker 2:Hoy.
Speaker 1:I'm stopping Scott. That's Hoy trial lawyers. In case you're wondering if you want to stop with him or the heck he was just talking about. These are some good ones.

Speaker 11:Guys, pay attention. How would you like to have an extra two inches?
Speaker 1:If your height makes you feel yes, please. Where do I sign?
Speaker 11:up Overlooked at work or embarrassed because you're shorter than your date. Now you can level the playing field with Max Tall, the revolutionary, ultra-comfortable shoe inserts.
Speaker 1:They give you inches in height.
Speaker 11:Oh, shoe inserts, Nah never mind, so you can look taller instantly. Never mind. With the deluxe version, you can go from 5'9 to over 6 feet. Yes, maxtol's durable, one-size-fits-all design and multiple adjustable levels let you go from a quarter inch to almost three inches instantly, and they're completely invisible. No one will know you're wearing them.
Speaker 1:I can't tell you're wearing them, Tom.
Speaker 11:I hate rigid lips. Rigid lips are uncomfortable, uncomfortably slip out of your shoe. But max toll molds to your foot and heel to create vacuum action that ensures your heel will always stay in your shoe. Poor mike is five nine and cindy isn't paying attention to him at all. But with max toll in his shoes, mike is nearly six feet tall and cindy likes what she sees. Max toll is one you got that two inches.
Speaker 1:All right, remember that name. Max tall Sounds like an old private eye, max tall. Nasa just changed the odds of asteroid YR4 hitting Earth in 2032. Yet again, they increased the chances of the asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth to 1 in 32 or 3.1% on Tuesday, but now they're now back down to 1 in 67. So I think that is good news and if it does hit and you need a lawyer, keep in mind we have some available for you. I don't know if they have.
Speaker 10:Dad, there's been an accident.
Speaker 1:An asteroid hit. Are you going to be able to get by without Carl's paycheck? I just don't know for sure, Dad.
Speaker 6:An asteroid hit, the asteroid hit and well.
Speaker 1:None honey, an asteroid hit. No, it hit him too. Cut it.
Speaker 3:Not with two hungry mouths to feed.
Speaker 1:How am I going to pay for my bad acting lessons?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I knew he was going to say that I don't think the lawyers are playing the guitar in the background. Oh, now he's going to get shafted.
Speaker 10:Shut your mouth. Oh, now he's going to get shafted. Do you need your voice to be heard? Yeah, do you want justice to be served? Chef, you deserve a lawyer who takes your case seriously. Shut your mouth. I'm serious when I say I won't back off until you get what's rightfully yours Yours. Hi, I'm Campbell Alexander and I'll fight for you.
Speaker 2:When my father passed away, there was a big dispute over the will.
Speaker 1:I was left out in the cold but campbell alexander came along.
Speaker 2:Campbell alexander helped get me the money I deserved, and now I'm living the life I always dreamed of sitting on the couch watching the view.
Speaker 10:I gotta be honest with you. Over the years I've helped thousands of clients win their cases, not Not hundreds, thousands. That takes experience, shaft, serious experience.
Speaker 1:I was into it. On the job Don't talk about Shaft.
Speaker 1:Speaking of music, I pulled this record from my rare record collection today. There's actually two of these records in here, two of these, and this is on Playboy Records. Now, how cool is that Orange label? Orange kind of fading into gray label? There's two of these records in there. It's got a stamp, someone stamped it. It says May 1975.
Speaker 1:And let me tell you these records, both of them, you can't. They literally like they just brought them off of the press or you know, making these records. They are in such perfect condition. Oh, I see that. Oh, wow, yeah, these are beautiful. It's really amazing. Oh, let me see.
Speaker 1:This one has looks like this one might even have a b-side, like one of the records does not have a b-side. It's the same song on, uh, on both sides. The other one, it looks like it has a b-song, okay, so, yeah, it does. I'lled All right, so we'll play the B side first. I don't know, I don't know, we'll see Now. Maybe I'll play the B side second. So, anyhow, this song.
Speaker 1:God, I remember this song being on the radio. I knew it was 1975. I remember, like it was yesterday, that this was 1975 because I used to have my Panasonic clock radio right above my head in my bed there had my own room and I would listen to music at night as I was going to sleep and I remember all of these hit songs from 1975 on that AM radio Blackbirds Walking in Rhythm, wildfire by Michael Martin Murphy, love Will Keep Us Together, by Captain and Tennille I mean, just right on down the line there was a song Muhammad Muhammad Ali Floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee, the Hustle Van McCoy. I just remember all of these songs from 1975. And this is one of them. It was like played on the radio every hour. I actually it's a whole story about how the guy it was like played on the radio every hour. I actually, oh, it's a whole story about the guy. Guy told me he was a roadie. Come on my show and tell me some great roadie stories. And when I brought him in and I started talking to him, it turned out he was a roadie for this artist. I go wait a minute, just that artist. Oh yeah, that's the artist. You were a roadie for this group. This, oh my god, you gotta be kidding me. I started laughing. I wasn't trying to poke fun but I thought, like you know, you're gonna tell me, stones and the grateful dead and all these bands that you were out of road with, but it was with this one anyhow. So this song is about america. It's an american music trio, written by one of the members of the trio, featured on their third album by the very same name, yeah, 1975, released mid-75. Like I said, this is May of 75. It has the stamp right there on the record, which is really cool.
Speaker 1:Became the group's second top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States following their 1971 hit which peaked at number four. This was their only song to reach number one on this chart. It was also the only pop number one hit for Playboy Records, for their Playboy Records label. So this right here that I'm holding in my hand, two copies of it, is the only number one song ever on Playboy Records and I have two copies of it. That is really cool. It was the number one hit on the Billboard Easy Listening chart in the US for a week in 75. In addition, the song reached number 24 on Billboard's Hot Soul Singles chart, which is really kind of I mean like really On the soul single, hot soul. That surprises me. But around the world number two. In canada, top singles number one, adult contemporary. In canada, uk went to 33, even went to number one in easy listening. So let's put it on here, shall we without further ado? Uh, without, uh, going on anymore. This is Hamilton, joe Frank and Reynolds falling in love.
