Welcome my friends to the Pat's Peeps podcast. Pat's Peeps podcast. What are we? 226. This is a Thursday, march, the 13th 2025. And I'm actually doing this. As I look out my studio window into the beautiful foothills of Northern California, I see darkness. I'm doing this later in the day. I meant to do it earlier today, but you know what? I had so much business with the Pat's Peeps and we are building this aspect of the Pat's Peeps business to where I just kind of had I just ran out of time. Speaking of peeps, here you go. Got a little peep for you. I got a couple of peeps here. How about this one? I might have to give some of these away. Look at the Pats Peeps Debuting on. Pats Peeps 226. How are you? Thank you for listening.

Speaker 1: 1:17

My name is Pat Walsh. I'm the host of the Pat Walsh Show, as heard on KFBK Radio in Sacramento, 93.1 FM, 1530 AM, and streaming live everyone. The free iHeart app, just like this podcast, is on all your streaming platforms. Matter of fact. I just got off the air. Got off the air, had a good show, had a lot of fun. We have so many great callers.

Speaker 1: 1:39

I'll tell you what this is. You know how they always say that man's best friend is a dog. I believe that I believe the dog is just a just such a great companion and, uh, but I have another man's best friend. If you could pick another man's best friend? Of course, obviously the ladies. We like the ladies, of course, that goes without saying. I'm just saying, but like just your buddy, your friend.

Speaker 1: 2:10

Other than that, how about an inanimate object? How about a crock pot? I love the crock pot. Can I just tell you I love the crock pot. You know, as a single guy and I'm working all the time I use my crock pot. I love taking, just taking, ingredients, and you know, sometimes you use a recipe, other times you don't use a recipe. Today I didn't use a recipe and I just started loading that thing up with all kinds of great stuff. And the next thing, you know, like sometimes I forget, like a lot of times, I'll do the crock pot and then I'll go to work. I come home. When I get home from work, when I open that door, the front door, it hits you. It's like, oh, wow, it smells so good. It's like someone has been there cooking for you all day long, whether it's chili, or whether it's chicken noodle soup, or in this case, what I made tonight I made, or chicken and dumplings. Tonight I made, or today I should say I made chicken with jasmine rice and veggies. Oh it's so good.

Speaker 1: 3:29

So I took chicken thighs, I made this little concoction, I cut up asparagus and onions and peppers and garlic and just a variety of things, and I cooked them in olive oil and I browned the chicken thighs, skinless chicken thighs. I used a little bit of ricotta cheese, a tiny bit of sour cream, salt pepper, all my spices and things. I didn't use too many spices. I didn't even put hot peppers in this. Today I put hot peppers in everything. I don't know why. I just decided today I'm not going to do it in this for some reason, maybe it's just for a change. And then I put the chicken on top of that, I put the rice in, you know, put it all in the crock pot and then put the rice in there, then put the chicken on top, a little cottage cheese, put the lid on it and the next thing, you know, hours go by and this thing smells so good. And even more than smelling so good, it tastes so good. I just made up this recipe. I mean, I'm sure it's similar to any other maybe chicken, oh and mushrooms, mushroom soup, like real creamy mushroom soup, chicken and rice dish oh, so good. So that's the state of mind I'm in tonight. Usually I'm in the middle of the day and I got a million things going on, but I'm happy and full right now, relaxed. I hope you are as well. But yeah, I. I think that is just the certainly one of man's best friends. Yeah, can I ask you this? Of course I'm asking you, but I no one's gonna answer me because I don't, you know, don't have a phone line hooked up to this thing. But but I did.

Speaker 1: 5:21

How was your cursive writing? Can everyone out there still write? Do you still use writing longhand cursive? I've got my notes in front of me here. I mean, I've got so many. I have a tablet, I've got all these notes everywhere. I've got another notepad over here and I've got all these pens and I'm always writing.

Speaker 1: 5:46

I just think it's very important to write, to be able to practice cursive writing. I know that a lot of schools don't even teach it anymore, but I also heard that some schools are actually going back to it. But I just love writing and you know it's amazing to me. I know so many people and I'm talking about smart people who are very successful, run a business what have you, and I can't tell you how many times and well-educated and they'll say you know, pat, I can't even. I can't write cursive anymore. I've just lost my skill to be able to write cursive because I'm never writing cursive, I'm never writing in longhand like that with a pen.

Speaker 1: 6:32

I was on the computer typing things in, you know, and a lot of people don't even know how to type, but that's beside the point. But I don't know how many people are still using, I mean even printing, like a lot of times. A lot of people they just the only time they write. Maybe they write their name on a document, I don't know. They print something down, maybe jot down a note, I don't know. But I am curious about that. There's something about writing and printing that I have always taken pride in.

Speaker 1: 7:05

I remember when I was a little kid. I have these very distinct memories. It's so strange I must have been. I mean, what age do you learn to write in cursive? I don't know, maybe I was five, but I just have these memories of sitting in the back of the 65 Rambler, mint green station wagon and my parents going shopping, and I remember at night they were over in South Sac and they went to a mall or something and I was sitting out there, maybe with my mom or dad, and I can remember having a piece of paper, an envelope or something in my hand, just this little kid and a pen, and I would just emulate, I would pretend like I was writing, because you know you'd see your parents writing back. Then. They write checks, they write letters, write cards. I don't even think people write out too many letters anymore and send them off, but they would do that. And I just recall my mother's penmanship was so beautiful. I would stare at her penmanship and I would think, wow, mom really knows how to write. It's beautiful.

Speaker 1: 8:17

Then I started looking at my dad's signature and his writing and I thought, geez, he has great writing too. And then I found myself once I wanted to establish I just have vivid memories of all of this. Once I wanted to establish my own signature everyone has their own, john Hancock, you know and I combined my mother's style with my father's style, which was very different, and to this day I still have that exact style of writing. I could tell, because there probably was a period of time there where I didn't write as much as I should have been. And I'm starting to wonder about drawing, because I can draw too. It makes me want to break out a blank canvas and start drawing something, maybe paint. That's my goal is to start drawing and painting no-transcript.

Speaker 1: 9:21

So I'm looking at all these pages. It just reminded me of it, and I brought it up because, oh my gosh, I mean I've got a computer right in front of me too, but no, I'm kind of an old soul when it comes to this. I like the feeling of writing. So, anyhow, I do that more when I'm at home, and you have to do that when you're doing a talk show. The thing about doing a talk show it's one thing to be able to talk. It's another thing, though, to be able to listen actively, listen to what people are saying, and when they're talking, they'll bring up points, and I want to make sure to write that down clearly so that I can respond to some of the points that they're making. Anyhow, enough of that. Here's another thing what else? I just got some things on my mind. Hope you don't mind here on 226, pat's Peeps 226. Another reminder please, if you would, would you check out the businesses we're representing? Now I'm starting to get feedback on that, which is really great. See it's little by little Patspeepscom. Please, if you would check that out and support our businesses, it would mean the world all the exclusive deals you're getting there.

Speaker 1: 10:34

But I posted something on Facebook today and all these people were reacting to it and I tell you it's something I don't know why. I thought about it. I'll just today is what they throw back Thursday or whatever. And I was trying to think of something that was sort of a throwback and I don't know where. I saw a picture of this Ultraman. And so remember Ultraman, like if you grew up in the 70s, dad is Ultraman. And so remember Ultraman, like if you grew up in the 70s, dad is Ultraman guy. He's a Japanese superhero. I don't know he was Ultraman, I'm not good on the superhero stuff, but I just recall and he put his left arm arm like horizontally in front of his face and then his right arm vertically behind that and he'd make some kind of a, give him some kind of power and some kind of a bolt of whatever electricity here and he'd fight monsters. I saw, I was just thinking of that. I thought that's kind of funny and anyhow, I posted a picture of it and people remembered it very fondly.

Speaker 1: 11:47

In case you don't remember, even though I posted it, I swear, even as a kid, when you, when you really want to like these kind of things, like it's cool, it's better than you know, meet the press and all the other crap that you know, lawrence Welk, that your granny and everyone's watching. So this is kind of more directed towards kids. At the time mid-afternoon tv show, but it was so bad I'm sorry I wasn't a fan, it was so lame. He's fighting and you fight these monsters that were clearly like these puppet, plastic looking things shooting some kind of a ray, of like a beam. And here comes Ultraman. You know it's like Godzilla. You know this creature's like Godzilla, stepping on the tanks and on the military vehicles. Oh, no, there goes the ray, oh. And you always hear the military vehicles. Oh, no, there goes the ray, oh. And they always sound the sounds here, oh, oh, like in Speed Racer 2. Oh, oh, no, but. But here comes this Godzilla-looking creature. But you know it's going to show up. Come to the rescue.

Speaker 4: 13:16

Ultraman will be there. Oh, here he is. He was given the life of the alien.

Speaker 2: 13:25

Nebula.

Speaker 1: 13:26

With a beta capsule, he transformed, he became an invisible man. Invincible, that is, who flies at Mach 5 and smashes enemies with powerful energy. Our hero Uh-oh.

Speaker 3: 13:47

Get off my hey.

Speaker 1: 13:55

I love the music too. Like he's wearing the cheesiest outfit ever. It's like this really skinny little guy wearing a silver and red outfit, like a rubber outfit. He's taking on Godzilla, but he is ultra. He said oh, there you go. Bam, bam, bam bam. Ultraman is not to be defeated. And yeah, remember Ultraman. It was just like watching, kind of like watching Godzilla. Remember Speed Racer. That was another one. Oh oh, chim Chim and Spridle Trixie Pops. Remember Racer X. It just seems so hokey for some reason when I was a kid, but yet we watched it because I win. It was like the coolest thing on TV in the afternoon Gilligan's Island would be on oh oh thing on TV in the afternoon.

Speaker 1: 15:20

Gilligan's Isley would be on. It's a long skid man. There's a sound. Oh Pops is in his wits end here.

Speaker 4: 15:36

I'm okay. Pops, that kid looks great. He wasn't scratched. I'm glad you weren't hurt my boy. I'm very sorry.

Speaker 1: 15:43

Pops. This is as bad now as it was when I was a kid.

Speaker 4: 15:51

And somehow it's iconic, this show. A few yards further and I would have been the winner. I did such a great job of driving. I deserve to win the race. Don't try to tell me that you deserve to lose the race because your driving technique was very bad. Yes, do you understand what do you mean? Bad, I would have yes. Do you understand oh?

Speaker 1: 16:22

Oh, no, ah, but it goes on, it goes on. There were some really bad shows back then, though I got turned on to this one. I don't really remember that when this was on the air, someone said you got her. They said are you? You're an andy griffin fan? Yeah, you like gomer? Yeah, yeah, oh, of course I like gomer. Then it was he. Then of course he had gomer pile. He said but you might remember, you may not remember the lost saucer. Anyone remember the lost saucer you talk about horrible.

Speaker 1: 16:51

So this is an ABC TV series produced by the very weird Sid and Marty Croft who did HR Puff and stuff, which to me, again kid, that was weird. I was a little kid, like on Saturday morning I couldn't even watch it. I would turn it. It was like they were on LSD or something. I just didn't get it Anyhow. But this lost saucer was put out by Sid and Marty Kroc and now get this. It starred Gomer, jim Neighbors, jim Neighbors in space, gomer in space with Ruth Buzzy from Laugh-In and all the Dean Martin roasts as the hapless aliens who take a boy and his babysitter with them on their flying saucer. How's that? I'd like to be on a flying saucer, kidnapped by Gomer and Ruth Buzzy. It aired new episodes from September to December 75. Reruns continued till December of 76. And then it was part of the Croft Super Show after it ran on its own. Here is the incredible Lost Saucer episode. Nine Dig, the theme song here of the moon now they're painting the sun.

Speaker 3: 18:18

Please, please, take me along now. Inside, inside. They can't get on for this crazy ride.

Speaker 4: 18:48

Someone help us to go where we're supposed to Starring Jim Labors and Ruth Busses. Wow, wow.

Speaker 1: 19:02

Jared Johnson, alice Clayton, the Dorse, here we go. I mean it is weird to see gym neighbors, you know Gomer in like a tinfoil-looking suit with a weird some kind of a weird energy pack.

Speaker 4: 19:21

Oh no, that means we don't know what year we're in again, oh God.

Speaker 1: 19:25

All I know is that I'm starved and they kidnapped me. Gomer kidnapped me. We've been eating a few hundred beers.

Speaker 3: 19:32

Who's that lady? Ruth Buzzy.

Speaker 1: 19:36

And then the weird creatures.

Speaker 2: 19:37

Let's see if we can find some fresh food.

Speaker 1: 20:09

Honestly everything about H&R Puff and stuff. As a kid I didn't know that much about drugs. I just thought older kids, like hippies, were doing drugs and I thought these people were on heavy drugs. Orange sunshine hippies were doing drugs and I thought these people were on heavy drugs orange sunshine wow, I still can't stand to look at that. God, that is so, so, very creepy. They had these other shows. I'm going to get to these other shows on my radio show tomorrow night. I mean some of these things from the 70s and 80s. I want to ask it on my radio show tomorrow night, just because I want to ask if people remember these bizarre shows. Let's see Space Angel.

Speaker 1: 21:03

Conan O'Brien used to do skits with a real mouth superimposed over celebrity's headshot. Oh my God, what is that? Like Clutch Cargo, right? Was it Clutch Cargo where they did the lips over the animation? That was creepy. They stole it. Yeah, the same technology. God, these things were so bizarre. It would have been so obvious if the animation actually moved. Nothing except the creepy, hypnotically askew gaping mouths. It was. And Scott McCloud, space Angel. Have a nightmare children.

Speaker 2: 21:55

Space Angel Blast off for another exciting adventure in outer space with Scott McCloud Space Angel in the story of Incident of the Loud Planet.

Speaker 2: 22:32

Here's your party Chief Space freighter 005. This is Earth Control Request drafted.

Speaker 1: 22:38

Oh my God. How about this one in 1977, 78? You know the Three Stooges, love the Three Stooges, love the Three Stooges. They were in reruns in the 70s but Hanna-Barbera thought that kids would love a show where they were in cyborg form. Oh god, no. But given all the original actors had died, the poor voice impersonators and the crappy animation made this just an awful, awful show. The robotic stooges, curly of the apes, I mean, even as a kid again, I recognized how bad all of these were. I haven't seen them since then. Groovy little tune. So you got the bad guys. They're trying to steal the elephants, so you got the bad guys.

Speaker 4: 23:47

They're trying to steal the elephants.

Speaker 1: 23:49

That's right, they got to call the throbonic stooges. Here we go, listen to the voices. How bad oh oh, oh yeah.

Speaker 4: 24:02

But where Billion picked by numbers? Page bad. Oh, oh, oh yeah. But where Billion pick my numbers? Page nine hey, no, there ain't no page nine. See, it goes from page eight to Paganini. That's page nine. You ninny oh.

Speaker 3: 24:18

Speaker 4: 24:26

The ivory poacher is stealing whole elephants. Capture, trigger and save the elephants into our costumes. Boney boo, all set, fellas oh.

Speaker 1: 24:42

Oh boy, they had some weird, weird stuff. The robotic Stooges Ultraman, by the way, ran from 1966 to 67. But I know that they also they did a. They aired that in the 70s. I'm pretty sure there was this thing called Slim Goodbody in 1975. Slim Goodbody's message it was a commendable message. This dude just wanted to keep kids healthy, you see, and active. The only problem was he wore a skin tight unitard with the gut showing, which made it pretty bizarre. Like he's wearing his skin tight. First of all, he's got the white guy fro. He's got the welcome back carter, like. Uh, horse shack, remember horse shack, welcome back carter. Like.

Speaker 2: 25:43

Horseshack, Remember Horseshack. Welcome back, Connor. Oh, oh, oh oh.

Speaker 1: 25:45

He had that big old fro thing Anyhow. So this guy, this creepy guy, slim, good body, yeah, kids, I'd like to keep you healthy. So you can look at my guts. It's a white unitard and it shows all of his organs on the unitard. Okay, this was the 70s. I'm saying man, wasn't this one like quaaludes and reds and second acid? What was happening? You had, uh, this thing, I'm not sure. If I remember zoom, a bunch of obnoxious kids wearing rugby shirts, yelling a vile theme song, making tie-dye. That's Zoom, from 1972 to 1978.

Speaker 3: 26:43

Pat's Peeps 226.

Speaker 1: 26:58

We're gonna zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, a PBS show written for kids by kids, written by kids, and that was part of its appeal. It was written by kids. It had inmates running the asylum vibe. Here it is I'm Mike.

Speaker 3: 27:23

My name's Rose. I'm Mike. My name's Rose. I'm Hector. I'm Donna.

Speaker 1: 27:34

I'm Timmy, my name's Sean, I'm Trippin' Wow, oh my gosh. And then one more here. There's a lot of them. I'm probably not mentioning the one that you might be thinking of if you're listening. This was I don't think I remember this. Hold on, I don't think I remember this one. Giggle Giggle Snort Hotel. Ah, giggle snort hotel. Hi, giggle snort hotel.

Speaker 1: 28:08

Apparently this was a hotel assorted with a bunch of old puppets, but by far the weirdest, they say, was blob. I don't remember blob. A lump of clay molded into different shapes, varying facial expressions, they say, if you can imagine, a melted Mr Potato Head. So his voice was the, I guess, the showstopper of this thing. Now again, this is according to what is this outlet? Smellslikeinfinitesadnesscom. All right, there's a little plug. It's a lump of clay molded into different shapes, varying facial expressions, mr Potato Head, melted voices, the real showstopper, a bunch of garbled guffaws, wheezes and vomiting sounds. Let's take a listen together. All right, here we go. Giggle Snort Hotel. Oh, giggle Snort just went away. All right, dang, giggle Snort, let's see. Oh God, I'm not even going to get in this.

Speaker 1: 29:17

Okay, bozo the Clown Kid Show. We all remember bozo. It's on a real cheap set, like a local looking set it inspired hey, crusty the clown. I'm sure that's where got the inspiration. Hey, hey, hey, hey, along with homie the clown homie, don't play that and some kids would probably had nightmares because he had that man. He was trippy, this guy bozo, but he was very popular. Most of the clown I always like clowns, creepy and all, but he was the most popular at the time. Some people said he he was an obnoxious host and he lacked joy and organization and humor. Boston's Channel 5. Oh no, not Boston's Channel 5.

Speaker 2: 30:12

I like to travel round and round. The circus is my home. I always see the road in the rocket ship.

Speaker 1: 30:22

He reminds me of the clown in what's the oh God?

Speaker 2: 30:25

Oh my God, Bozo, bozo, always last, never frown. Bozo, bozo, bozo the Clown. Oh, billy, I'm glad you made it here to the big top today. Look at my pals with their Bozo sweatshirts and their Bozo hats. Hey, you look nice. Why don't you? Cynthia and Linda, take your seats in the grandstand very carefully, get off the Bozomobile and this way I'll be able to push the Bozomobile right over to the side of the circus.

Speaker 2: 30:53

Oh my God, Will you park it for me in the circus garage and I'll be able to tell you what other specials oh my gosh, Very scary, very scary, very scary.

Speaker 1: 31:00

Anyhow, yeah, thank you, bozo God, I can't believe I used to watch that as a kid. I absolutely can't believe I watched that. Oh, wow, anyhow, let's get to the record. I found this record. I have no idea what this is. I have never heard of this. We're going to listen to this one together First time I've ever. So I just pulled this off of the off my record shelf my rare records and it's beautiful shape. It's on Epic Records, it's a white label and it's the same song on both sides Absolutely epic shape, since it's on epic records. I don't think this has ever, ever been played. Uh, this is again. I've never. I don't think I've heard it. Maybe when I put it on the turntable here I'll recognize it.

Speaker 1: 31:57

But second studio album by this alternative rock band, released in February 88. Went to number 80 in the UK albums chart, february of 88. Re-issued in 2011,. But I have the original here. Let's see this was. There's not much about it, to be honest. The band is Chris Coyne Coyne on bass, vocals and vocals respectively. Chris Dollimore, guitar and vocals. Michael Gibson, guitar and vocals. Michael Mazur on drums, percussion and vocals. It's got Bobby Valentino on the violin on one of the tracks. Uh, on and on, and on and on, and it went to, like I say, number 80. So not really a lot about this, let's see. Hmm, well, let's just listen to it. So this is a song called Birth School Work Death and it's by a band called the Godfathers.

Speaker 3: 33:24

Here we go.

Speaker 1: 33:26

Already, I like this.

Speaker 3: 33:33

And I felt torture. I felt pain, just like that film with Michael Caine. I've been abused, I've been confused and I've kissed my reflection's shoes.

Speaker 1: 33:41

All right now. I hope the hook is good, because I'm liking it.

Speaker 3: 33:49

I've been high and I've been low and I don't know where to go. Work, go, work, all right, all right.

Speaker 1: 34:13

Hey, I'm going to have to listen to more of this band.

Speaker 3: 34:16

Heroin was the love you gave From the cradle to the grave. Boys and girls don't understand. The devil makes one bridal hand. I cut myself, but I don't bleed Cause I don't get what I need. Doesn't matter what I say, tomorrow's still another day, alright, but School Work, that Book Work, school work, death, work, school work, death.

I'm living. I'm never, never, never. This time it's gonna be forever. I live and die. Don't ask me why I wanna go to paradise.

Speaker 1: 35:52

And I don't need your sympathy. Again, I hate to talk over it, but I, you know, listen, I don't own the rights to the song. I'm just trying to expose the music, tell everyone about it, educate, critique. I like it. Birth school work, death the godfathers. Thank you for listening to Pat's Peeps 226.
