Speaker 1: 0:16

welcome my friends. Hey, how are you? How are you? It's the Pat's Peeps podcast. What number are we at here? 221. 221 podcasts here on Pat's Peeps. Thank you to our ever-growing audience. I notice that the audience is growing bigger and bigger and I greatly appreciate all of you.

Speaker 1: 0:42

My name is Pat Walsh and here I am looking out my studio window into the beautiful foothills of Northern California. You know what it's dark out. I'm doing this late tonight. I didn't think I was going to be able to do one today. It is the fifth day of March 2025. Sitting by the fire here on my wood stove, staying nice and toasty. It was raining all day today. This is a Wednesday.

Speaker 1: 1:24

Honestly, it's just sort of a blur right now to me. Me, I didn't think I was going to do a podcast today and I just felt compelled. I guess this is. You know, this is what I do, so that's what I just. I just want to be dedicated to this. You know that's what I want to do. I want to. I want to do my show today.

Speaker 1: 1:42

May not be the longest podcast I've ever done, but I wanted to say hi to you and I just want to again thank you for being a part of our growing audience here at Pat's Peeps and patspeepscom. I'll just you know, of course, if you've been following the last couple of podcasts, one of the well, not one of the, but the main thing that I have been talking about is my son, timothy, and I'm not going to, I'm not going to go on and on and on about that. He passed away and I've been telling you guys about that, but I do want to say that, um, I have no experience at this, you know. And then you start hearing it's just I'm not trying to be downer down, but you know, you hear from the coroner's office and you got to pick out a funeral home and but it's more than that. I I'm I'm starting to hear some details. I I don't really want to share right now, but I'm starting to hear some details and it's just ugly. It is ugly. And so, as I feel comfortable with it and clarify and confirm and do all the things that I need to do, I'll tell everyone sort of what happened and what the findings are, and all of that my son would want me to share. He would want to know that he was remembered. You know, one of the things that I'm finding out and I've heard from him before is, like you know, something had happened to me and no one would even care, and I'm like you know, I guess that's part of depression and whatever, but I assured him that we do indeed care and love him very much. I mean, he had a hard exterior and like very soft and loving spirit. So, anyhow, I don't want to drone on and on and on about that. Okay, that's not the point, but but I am learning new details.

Speaker 1: 3:42

And the fact is is, you know, I want to come in here and I want to do the thing that I normally do on my show. I want to goof around a little bit. You know, I want to riff on some topics here. You know, I just kind of want to go off on some topics and I really want to talk about some moments from last night. It's kind of a blur. It was last night, right, the Trump speech, you know. And then I thought, you know, and I'm starting to think about it and I and all these things are going through my mind like everything that I would normally want to say. By the way, if I were normally going to say things, I would talk about people being very disrespectful, holding up cards and being on their phones and experiencing RBF to the hilt to the hilt. It was really quite disgraceful. But I, or Rachel maddow's reaction to, uh, little dj daniel, some of the msnbc so-called hosts, now I, I listen and I felt that and I wanted to say something. But the fact is, and I think I just did, and I, and if I cared about the osars, I would have pointed some more things out in that realm, but for some reason, because of the circumstances, I barely have the energy to really do that. Quite frankly, having never dealt with this, it's just I'm kind of walking around in a fog because, again, I love doing my show. By the way, yes, I'm pat walsh. I host the uh, the pat walsh show on kfpk radio in sacramento and heard nationally and internationally on your free iheart app, just like the my pat's peeps, which is heard on all the streaming platforms as well. But as I go through the day, I love doing my shows, but, boy, there's certainly a thing of mental fatigue and emotional fatigue, and so I took the night off.

Speaker 1: 6:00

Tonight I want to say thank you to Bruce BC, my buddy, my longtime buddy, bruce Campbell, who, by the way, I chimed in tonight just for a minute to listen to him see what he was talking about. I don't know what that was. Just now y'all hear that. Oh, something popped up on my computer over there. I didn't even know that was on anyhow, anyhow. So I tuned into PC tonight and if you listen to my show and someone did, I just talk about this on the podcast, did I not? Oh, didn't I just talk about Adam Sandler? I did right, was it on the podcast? I think it was the podcast versus my show, the Pat Wall show, where he was at the Oscars and he did the little bit with Conan O'Brien and all that.

Speaker 1: 6:50

I'm just not a fan of Adam Sandler, I'm sorry. I've already said he's one of the least funny people ever to me, anyhow. So I tune in tonight and here is Bruce and he's just going on and on and on about Adam Sandler and how great he is in this new movie, happy Gilmore 2 or whatever's coming out, and just on and on and on. I just had to get it. It was so ironic, I just got a kick out of that. To each his own. First Amendment rights. Hey, you can like Adam Sandler if you like.

Speaker 1: 7:28

And then someone asked me about that and they said, well, do you like Will Ferrell? And asked me my opinion about Will Ferrell. I was never really a huge Will Ferrell fan, necessarily. I liked him in a couple of skits here and there along the way, maybe Never cared for his. I mean hate, like I said, hate to miss another uh scene where he's running around in his briefs.

Speaker 1: 7:56

Yeah, I wanted to talk about all that but I just really uh, I don't know, I just don't right now. I don't have the energy to criticize too much, just some surface level critiques there. I can't get into it. My mind just isn't going to work like that right now. So I'm going to focus, if I may, on this shorter edition tonight 221, just because I'm kind of worn out, like I say, emotionally and such.

Speaker 1: 8:28

But yeah, hey, I wanted to focus on something that I just thought was really cool. I mean again, despite Rachel Maddow and who's her colleague over there at MSNBC that oh, it was just awful. See, I don't want to go down that road but I want to stay positive. But there was a great moment last night no matter what you think of Trump or politics when he honored this 13-year-old boy who has brain cancer, honored him as an honorary Secret Service agent. I'll tell you, the Democratic side of the aisle couldn't even stand up for this. They sat there on their phones holding up signs. You know, musk steals, or you know, save LGBTQ, or whatever they said. They're on their phones just being the most utterly disrespectful people. Just truly shocking and anyhow so.

Speaker 3: 9:28

But this was the good part joining us in the gallery tonight is a young man who truly loves our police. His name is dj daniel, he is 13 years old and he has always dreamed of becoming a police officer and this kid's standing up, he is just, and his dad's lifting him in the air.

Speaker 1: 9:51

If you, you saw it, you know. Yeah, but that's only one side of the aisle applauding. I swear it's, or maybe they didn't even show the other side, but they didn't. They never applauded, they never stood up. Yeah, there, they are Just sitting down. I got a view of it. They're just sitting there. You know, this is a 13-year-old boy with brain cancer.

Speaker 3: 10:21

But in 2018, dj was diagnosed with brain cancer. The doctors gave him five months at most to live. That was more than six years ago oh boy, handsome little guy.

Speaker 1: 10:38

Look at him so proud, just so proud. His dad's so proud he's got his uniform on. They gave him that uniform. And look at the other side of the aisle, they're sitting there. I'm telling you that is I'm sorry. I'm telling you that is I'm sorry. No, I'm going to get critical. That is the worst case of RBF that I've seen in a long, long time. Are you serious? That's shameful.

Speaker 3: 11:17

Since that time, dj and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true, and DJ has been sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer, actually a number of times. The police love him, the police departments love him. And tonight, dj, we're going to do you the biggest honor of them all. I am asking our new Secret Service Director, sean Curran, to officially make you an agent of the United States Secret Service.

Speaker 1: 11:44

The look on his face, priceless, priceless, can I just say here. Even the lady behind them who's applauding, priceless, can I just say here, even the lady behind them who's applauding gosh, you know, can we put our phones down for a moment? Put your phone down. You know, when you're holding your phone and you're tapping the back of your hand like this, you got the phone in the palm of your left hand, right, and you're tapping with your right hand, underneath the hand that has holding your phone. That's not an applause, that's kind of an obligatory movement, you're. I mean, if you really care, go put the phone down, give me this, come on. Anyhow, and you see so many people do that. It's a bipartisan issue. Patrick, he's got his ID. He's got his new ID, his honorary ID, for the Secret Service. Hugs the gentleman next to him and I apologize, I don't know that guy's name.

Speaker 1: 13:02

So Rachel Maddow called that disgusting, I mean called it disgusting. The other gal it's not even worthy of mentioning her name went down that road. Well, I guess he knows what he wants and well, I hope he lives till 95. And oh gosh, you know, I'm going to have to find out. Anyhow, again, I said I'm not going down that road. So I'm going to stay away from that Staying away. I had it right here in front of me all the way, I got rid of it. I had it right here in front of me, all of it. I got rid of it. I didn't want to talk about it. See, I'm tempting myself. Anyhow, here is maybe I'll give that up for Lent Today, by the way, ash Wednesday, first day of Lent. Here's DJ Daniels. So they can call that disgusting and all of that and claim that it was some. I mean, you got to be kidding me. It's a young man, it's a young boy, a 13-year-old boy with brain cancer. Here he is being asked about that moment.

Speaker 2: 13:56

What you want to know. The craziest part Because my mom, me and my brothers all together and out of nowhere, I locked up and then my dad was calling my name and I started going to the slow thing and he said stop playing with me. And I started to act. I ain't going to lie playing with me and I'll start. And I started, I ain't gonna lie I started to act slow and then, as soon as that, as soon as he said that we were speeding all the way, running lights, going to the hospital, and then next thing you know, I was seizing on the table they said no, we're gonna have to go in his brain tonight.

Speaker 2: 14:23

Ever since then, I had 13 brain surgeries and that's how many times my personality has changed, and that's something that you don't hear from a terminally old child. They have five months to live. I'm going to keep on going until my gas tanks run out and that's when God calls you home. You never know when God's going to call you home. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my dad. I know he's pretty proud of me and I'm pretty proud of him too, and I'd like to thank President Trump, because if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here today.

Speaker 1: 14:52

And they sat down for that and wouldn't even applaud that. I mean, I believe the man could cure cancer and they would call him a liar and a cheat and all that. Again, I don't want to get too deeply in there, because some of you who are listening to me right now might feel that way and others feel the opposite way. But whatever, that's why I didn't want to go down that road, not today. For another day I'll make my opinions a little more obvious. I mean, they're pretty obvious today. But just some respect, for God's sakes, can we get back to a little humanity? You know what I mean, because that's a good story right there. I just think that's a really, really good story. God bless that guy, jeez. You could just see how much it meant to him. You could see how proud his father was. You got these people over there holding cards in the air I've never seen anything like it and they're on their phones. Wow. Like I said, this is going to be a shorter podcast today. I hope you don't mind, but at least I got to touch bases. Okay, and I will give you an update again on my son when I know more, because there is more if, if what I find out is confirmed or if what I'm hearing is actually confirmed.

Speaker 1: 16:21

So I pulled this record out for my rare 45 collection today. This one must have been I don't know from. I don't know if someone owned this. There's a lot of handwriting in a ballpoint pen Fast, okay, lisa Randow, or something. There's a lot of stuff on here. It's almost like someone owned this record, but I'll tell you it is in beautiful condition.

Speaker 1: 16:53

On the cover it's a Warner Brothers record, cut a 45 sleeve, and the corners are cut from it, which usually meant like a discard or whatever. But this is a huge record. Both sides Rock and roll money good Fast. Someone wrote on here they never had to get over you. Rock and roll money good fast. Someone wrote on here they never had to get over you. Medium speed, okay good. Someone wrote which has nothing to do with this record. So maybe this record was in the wrong cover or something I don't know. And it also says Warner Brothers, and this is not on Warner Brothers, this is on Island and this is one of those rare records. So I just think that maybe was a. I think it's in the wrong cover, boy. It's in beautiful condition though. So this is a record, that man.

Speaker 1: 17:45

You got great song on both sides and well known, so I'll play this one first. It's a song by and you'll get it right away when I say this an Irish rock band, third track on their 1983 album War, released as the album's lead single January of 83. Lyrics written about Polish solidarity movement. I remember that, like Walenza, right Right, this is driven by Adam Clayton. Now you just know what it is. I'm just giving it away. See, I'm kind of it's U2, that's what it is usually. I try to hold out on that. Anyhow, driven by Adam Clayton's distinct of the baseline. The edge is piano guitar playing. It was U2's first UK hit single, went to number 10. It was also their first international hit where it went to number 9 in Norway, number 11 in the Dutch top 40. Went to 17 in Sweden, number 53 on the Billboard Hot 100. America's top 40 in the United States, becoming the band's first single to chart in the US. Let's just play it. I need to hear it. This is a very popular song.

Speaker 1: 19:02

U2, new Year's Day. Here we go, yeah, guitar solo. All is quiet on New Year's Day. A world is wild, it's underway. I want to be with you, be with you night and day. Nothing changes On New Year's Day. On New Year's Day, I will be with you again. I will be with you again. Will be with you again.

Speaker 1: 20:36

Dedicate that lyric to my son, timothy. Right there Again, I don't own the rights to this. Just critiquing, etc. Etc. Blood-red sky, educating, critiquing, whatever they want me to say. The crowd has gathered, black and white me to say Say it's true, it's true, we can break through. Brings back some great memories of the 80s. If you were around, this was huge. I, I will be here again. But what is on the other side? Like I said, this was a two-sided monster right here when it comes to popularity because, if you flip it over, this song is the seventh track on that album. War. It was released as the second single in the United States, the UK and Australia March 21st of 83. War. It was released as the second single in the united states, the uk and australia march 21st of 83. So we're coming up on the anniversary of these. What was the uh?

Speaker 1: 22:05

what was the release date on this one again. Oh, january, january 10th of 83, the new year's day, that's appropriate. January 10th, that's actually the New Year's Day, that's appropriate. January 10th, that's actually very appropriate. I never really knew that it's actually. You know, it wasn't released on New Year's Day, but not long thereafter. But this one here, boy, I think this was on the radio. If not as much as that song, it's certainly almost as much. Yeah, there was always music videos for this. What can I tell you about this Released second single, like I said. So this was released as the album's second single in the US, uk and Australia. Like I said, as opposed to Sunday Bloody Sunday, which is, I love, that song, that was released only in the mainland of Europe. Both singles were released in Japan.

Speaker 1: 23:01

The song features a bass line by Adam Clayton, which is played at the beginning of the song. The isolated bass line is the main rhythm on the. Yeah, I'm not even going to talk about disco crap. Anyhow, later on it showed up. They said they sampled it, but but, this is one of. This song is one of 40 songs chosen by the Edge, their guitarist, and then re-recorded by the band for the 2023 album Songs of Surrender. So what the heck? Without further ado, I know you probably remember Two Hearts. Beat is one U2, flipside I don't know.

Speaker 4: 24:02

I don't know which side I'm on, I don't know my right from left or my right from wrong. Say I'm a fool, say I'm nothing. But if I'm a fool for you, oh, there's something.

Speaker 1: 24:28

Two hearts beating as one, two hearts beating as one. Two hearts. Could also dedicate this one to my son. See, I just keep thinking about him. This is my show.

Speaker 4: 24:49

Two hearts beating as one, two hearts beating as one, two hearts.

Speaker 1: 25:17
