Pat Walsh
Speaker 1:

well, friends, it is a tuesday afternoon. Well, not even afternoon. It's a Tuesday afternoon. Well, not even afternoon. It's a Tuesday morning. Wow, it's a Tuesday morning. I'm usually doing these in the afternoon. Hi, it's Patrick. It's Pat's Peeps Podcast 293. Wishing you a very delightful Tuesday. It's the 1st of July. Happy July to you.

Speaker 1:

Thank you for being a part of our ever-growing audience which, by the way, you know what, here on Pat's Peeps, we're simply audio. As of yet, we have not put up any kind of a YouTube component or video component. I do get asked about that and there are some plans in the works. But you know what? Hey, 293 podcasts, audio only. And every day I see our audience numbers growing and I thank you so much because what we are trying to do is not only sort of infotain but, at the same time, keep each other company, which is what I like. I just like hanging out with you. I mean seriously. I mean I get people all the time.

Speaker 1:

By the way, my name is Pat Walsh. I host the Pat Walsh Show on KPK Radio 7 to 10 pm, monday through Friday, and I get people on my show all the time. Like Pat, I love driving down the road. Again, last night Greg calls. He's like I love your show, but I like the podcast, for whatever reason, even more. It's looser, it's, you know, less formatted. We don't really have a format.

Speaker 1:

I do what I want to do open those windows a little bit because, well, my window coverings from american river flooring god, they're beautiful, they're a locally owned business. When I, which I support here on the patch peeps podcast, do yourself a favor, do us all a favor, uh, support local business. Let's not forget about our local business, who do great things, not the big corporations who, eh, they don't care quite as much. Maybe I'm not speaking for all of them, but I can tell you these window coverings are lovely and as I look out my studio windows through the window coverings from American River Flooring into the beautiful foothills of Northern California, I can see the transition happening from it was beautiful and green with this wonderful spring that we had, now transitioning into dry. So let's all be I don't have to tell you but we need to all do our part, be careful, have defensible space, blah, blah, blah, whatever. I just think about that, living up here in the foothills.

Speaker 1:

But it is warm. I don't know how hot it's gonna get today, but it's a beautiful day. I love it. I haven't turned my air conditioning on once. I know some of you like what? What are you kidding me? Well, first of all, hasn't been that hot. I mean, it's been hot a few days, but but you know it's. We had such a wonderful spring and now, I mean, I've seen worse. I'll just say that Plus. I'm weird because, like I've said before, I like the hot temps, so I just have a fan going. I have enough shade. Well, pat, how do you have enough shade and have defensible space? Because I have huge pine trees all around my home, big oak trees that are far away from my home but they're big enough to block out the sun at certain angles. Anyhow, god, it was a lovely day out on my porch, sitting out on the porch, watering the lawns. I don't overwater them, you know, just a little bit of water here and there so they don't die out, but you know we were blessed with lots of water this winter. Anyhow, on the show last night and I hope you're doing well On the show last night we had a caller call up about.

Speaker 1:

Well, actually it was on Kitty O'Neill's show. She does the afternoon news on KFPK right before my show, the Pat Walsh show. If you've not listened, I'm encouraging you to do so if you would. But we have this thing called the pound 250, the tap and talk, where, if you just want to leave a comment, all you got to do is hit the pound 250 and you can leave a comment. And it sounds like you're right there at the radio station. And so, as I was producing my show and I was listening to the news with Kitty O'Neil and they were playing some of these pound 250s I don't know who this dude is.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to start right here with this. I don't know who he is. Is I'm gonna start right here with this. I don't know who he is, but, uh, he left an interesting tap and talk for kitty. She does a poll question every day. Let's see. I don't even know what the poll question was something about corruption. Well, I don't know what it was, but the, the caller, the tap and talker was all about corruption and it went like this here.

Speaker 2:

It went like this Corruption, corruption from the top to the bottom. Corruption, corruption. Something smells rotten. That's like Captain Hair Gel. It's a really bad smell. Corruption, corruption top to the bottom.

Speaker 1:

I said you know, look, I get entertained. You know when people are creative, whether they call or whether it's on the tap and talk, I always enjoy when they get creative. So I thought you know what, let me take some liberties here, let me be creative with that caller, because it sounded it had a little rhythm to it. I'm trying to figure out. Well, where can I put that to? I just came back from the Bluegrass Festival so I mixed this one up. Here you go, pat's Peeps 293.

Speaker 2:

Corruption, corruption from the top to the bottom. Corruption, corruption. Something smells rotten. That's like Captain Hair Gel. It's a really bad smell Rotten. That's like Captain Hair Gel Keeps a really bad smell. Corruption, Corruption. Top to the bottom.

Speaker 1:

Oh ha, come on now Sing it again. Here we go. You know the words let's go. That's Peach 293. Here we go, corruption.

Speaker 2:

Corruption From the top to the bottom Corruption.

Speaker 3:

Corruption.

Speaker 2:

Something smells rotten. That's my captain. Hair gel Keeps a really bad smell. Corruption, corruption Up to the bottom.

Speaker 1:

Ah, yeah, hey, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do fiddle, anyhow. So yeah, thank you to that, to that listener, for that. You know, speaking of listeners, I have some music that, uh, I have to play for you. You know, certain things, I am left speechless, absolutely speechless, and I don't know what to do about it. I don't know what to do with it. So I'm going to play some of that for you. I'm going to play some of that for you. I'm going to play some Listen.

Speaker 1:

I always try to be very respectful. Anyone who listens to my podcast, as I always say, or my radio show. I am, from the bottom of my little Irish-American heart, so grateful and so many of you send me so many interesting things. Sometimes I can figure out what to do with them. Can I play this? Is this something I'm interested in? And then other times, some of the great listeners will send me things and again I just don't know what to say. That's the case here. Behind the scenes, this gentleman has been someone that I have been fascinated by. I'm going to use the word fascinated and I'm going to leave it up to you to understand what I'm trying to say here, and I mean this with 100% respect and dignity and congratulations and way to go. All of it 100%. Because here's the thing I believe if you have a dream baby, shoot for that dream man, don't matter what anyone else thinks. Do what you feel, like Frank said, you know, as long as it doesn't cause a murder. You know, be yourself, be classy, be dignified, be creative. That's what charles does. Charles is like you know what? Hey f convention, I'm gonna be myself and I respect. Okay. Well, that sounds all good. So what leaves you baffled here? Well, it's a great question. I'm going to play this for you.

Speaker 1:

Occasionally, I will get people who are musicians, let's say, which is this case who will send me music that they would love for me to hear, because people seem to know me not just as a talk show host but as a, I guess, sort of a music savant. Now, I'm not suggesting that I am. I am suggesting that people like to talk music on my show. I like to talk music and therefore I get a lot of people that go wow, you know a lot about music and I do. You know, I've been a Frank Zappa fan and fan of Tom Waits and some others who some people might go. I don't quite understand this, and yet they have huge audiences. I love eclectic music. That's where we are right now with Charles. This is Charles Taylor. This has never been heard by anyone, I'm sure, other than I don't know. I'm certainly not on the radio and I want to also preface this by saying I don't know what to make of it. Perhaps you do.

Speaker 1:

You know immigration has been in the news a lot, especially, you know, since the election, before the election, immigration. So Charles sent me these new songs. Now, seemingly these are parts of songs. One of them is a minute and four seconds, the other a minute and 20 seconds. So I can't really. Now I have listened to entire songs by Charles Taylor. And boy, when I tell you, eclectic and interesting, oh, no, no, no, that's not even the tip of the iceberg. I've played it for others and we sit around and we go, hmm huh, scratching our heads, sometimes Appreciating that the guy has giving it his all man, and you can hear the passion in his voice Without further ado. This song, apparently, is called Immigration. I'll play part one. We'll have two part ones and part twos today, by the way, I'll play part one right now. Let's see if you can understand what I'm saying when I say that I'm left speechless. Here we go.

Speaker 4:

Human migration.

Speaker 1:

You've been my gracious. All right, friends. That's part one of Human Migration, charles Taylor. Okay, all right. Here's part two. This it's kind of like free bird, you know, free bird, or stairway to heaven. They have that whole lead in. It's a little slower, you know. Then it kicks in like halfway through it. You're like, oh yeah, baby, now that's what I'm talking about. First part's all sentimental. Second part yeah, yeah, full force, all right. Second part's yeah, yeah, full force, all right. That's part two of Charles Taylor, human Migration. Here we go. Pats Peeps 293. Happy Tuesday to you.

Speaker 5:

Human Migration In my grave.

Speaker 1:

I have a sip of my water.

Speaker 5:

Beautiful creature who labors with love, plants the tiny seed that grows, grow to become a part of humanity. Her mission was one that began for a distant time. No one seems to know. This is all she know, nothing more than that tiny sea grow and this is all she sees, brilliant, as stars above her skies can be glistening their light to illuminate a part of the whole.

Speaker 1:

Park called humanity. Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know about you, I don't know about you, but wow, wow. That left me speechless with any thoughts on that. Thank you, charles Taylor. You know what, sir? You're awesome man. You keep it going, all right, please. I love it. I love it. Here's an unfortunate thing that happened to this guy. This is one of my favorites. This is now.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to switch gears from Charles. By the way, if anyone who is listening to Charles and please understand I want people to be respectful, but be honest, god, I want to play some more of his music for you. I wonder if I should. You know what? Like I said, I have older music from him. I wonder if I should. You know what? Like I said, I have older music from him. I wasn't even thinking about that. I do have older music. I don't know. I can't remember this one. Oh wait, a minute, this is a holiday tune from Charles. I'd forgotten about this one. Here we go, I don't know. It says I mean, how nice is this guy, by the way, sending me his own music for holidays? I mean that I can't remember what holiday. Oh wait, november 22nd, all right, must be Thanksgiving. Music from Charles. Yeah, what's that guitar? 22nd, or it must be Thanksgiving music from Charles Taylor. Listen to that guitar. It's like Roy Clark, you know little.

Speaker 5:

does Charles know? I love that, I love you.

Speaker 1:

This has become a staple for our family around Thanksgiving time. Now we have this and Alice's Restaurant by Arlo Guthrie. We'll listen to. We don't listen to it. I'm going to be honest. Most of the other time of the year I'm not even joking. God bless you, charles Taylor. God bless you, sir Heck. It's coming up on New Year's. It's coming up on. It's coming up on.

Speaker 1:

I was thinking I don't know why I said New Year's 4th of July is what I meant 4th of July. Just days away, here we are, july 1st. You know, I've had the opportunity, on the 3rd of July, to sing the national anthem in front of a packed house which, by the way, with this, was at the Folsom Rodeo. Totally scared me, oh my god, that scared me. It was so nerve-wracking. You know, as a matter of fact, you know I just put Charles out there for the world to hear and to be not so much judged, but you know, I put myself out there too, and not necessarily be judged, but I sang the national anthem and it was terrifying, honestly, in 2011 and the Rockies went there for the first game in and they pulled through the night then all five was still there.

Speaker 5:

Oh say, does that star-spangled banner?

Speaker 1:

yet wave. I tell you I was scared to death doing that and it was packed Thousands of people. Oh, thank you. I was scared to death doing that and it was packed Thousands of people.

Speaker 3:

Oh, thank you, dear God.

Speaker 2:

Thank you dear God Good job, my friend Good job.

Speaker 1:

With Tony Cox. Oh yeah, Walked off, met the mayor Wholesome.

Speaker 5:

You're very welcome.

Speaker 1:

Young lady that set it up. There's the mayor. I tell you what it's scary. I just command anyone who follows their heart follows their dreams. Charles Taylor, I always wanted to do that. They called me. They said oh you do, all right, how about you come out and do it? And I did. Still, the most terrified I've been, with a microphone in my hand, and perhaps one of my proudest moments, honestly. But it isn't easy, my friends. It is not easy. I mean, sometimes you have a great voice, but sometimes, as in this case here on Pat's Peep Snoot 293 on a Tuesday, it just happens that you well, forget the words Charles.

Speaker 1:

I'm sorry, did you say Gage Charles, gage Charles, thank you, thank you, here we go.

Speaker 4:

Oh say, can you see by the dawn's early light what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars were so gallantly there, as the rockets were there and the twilight's last gleaming and the rocket's red glare were so gallantly there. Bird stripes were all there and the rockets were there. Oh say, does that star-spangled banner?

Speaker 1:

yet glare. Did you say Banyern let glaze? Did you say Banyern let glaze? I'm sorry, hold on, did you? Say Banyern.

Speaker 4:

Banyern let glaze. I'm sorry, hold on. Did you say banyern Banyern? Banyern Angled banyern. Yet glazed.

Speaker 1:

Let the banyern let glaze, it's hard.

Speaker 4:

For the land of the free and the home of the glazed.

Speaker 1:

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, there he is. Thank you so much. It's hard. I'm not saying it's not hard because it is, you know who. It isn't hard for, though.

Speaker 1:

I listen to the National Anthem and, knowing me, I think right away baseball. I'm standing up because it's the intro to the baseball game. Don't go away, because I'm talking about sports. You're going to love this, even if you're not a big sports fan. So, bobby Bonilla today is Bobby Bonilla Day. Bobby Bonilla Day, july 1st.

Speaker 1:

Who's Bobby Bonilla? Well, he was a player from long ago. Who's Bobby Bonilla? Well, he was a player from long ago. This is known as Bobby Bonilla Day because the New York Mets pay him $1,193,248 on this day every year through the year 2035. That's right, because of this contract he signed. I need to find something here. Hold on a second, see if I can. Oh, yeah, all right, this is a good one too. So this is an amazing deal. This stems from a deferred compensation agreement made in 2000. Now, think about this. You don't have to be a baseball fan to appreciate this.

Speaker 1:

Bobby Bonita was a great player, played for the Pirates and the Mets, and uh stems from a deferred compensation agreement made in 2000. They bought out the remaining 5.99 million on Bobby Bowe's contract, agreed to defer payment with 8% interest until 2011, and then make annual payments until 2035. So in total, the Mets are going to pay Bonilla nearly $30 million by the time that the agreement concludes in 2035. The contract becomes I mean, it's mocked all the time by Mets fans. It's celebrated for its shrewdness, though, by Bonilla's agent. I mean, the man hasn't played in years and he's getting this kind of dough every single year. Dennis Gilbert is his agent. I mean, the man hasn't played in years and he's getting this kind of dough every single year. Dennis Gilbert is his agent. It ensured that Bonilla received a substantial income well into retirement. And, by the way, not just that. Also keep in mind that Bobby Bowe also had a second deferred contract with the Mets and the Baltimore Orioles under which he receives a half a million dollars annually through 2028. So I mean, this is a guy that knew what he is. Certainly he and his agent knew exactly what they were doing when they set up that contract. It's an amazing deal, amazing good for him.

Speaker 1:

Now, speaking of baseball, dave Parker passed away. Man, I love Dave Parker. You know when I think of Dave Parker passed away, man, I love Dave Parker. You know, when I think of Dave Parker, first of all more sadness for A's fans. You know 1989, he played with them a couple of years. I remember him with the Pirates, I remember him with the A's. But you know what? Here's what I remember, and this is just as a baseball fan.

Speaker 1:

Looking from afar, dave Parker just seemed like a genuinely great guy. He seemed like a guy who loved and appreciated the game of baseball and what he was doing. And when I think of him, the first thing that comes to mind is not just the talent, but there were certain players and three that I can think of off of the top of my head that played for the A's, that had complete style and swagger, and Dave Parker was one of them. Ricky Henderson was one of them. Dave Henderson was another. And when I say style and swagger, I'm talking about guys.

Speaker 1:

It's not the same game right now as it used to be. It used to be if you showed up a little bit. You showed off a little bit, then people would see you as a hot dog. They're like you're a hot dog in it, man, and there'd be fights. Darlene, are you leaving, darlene, with a Y just walked in. Come here, Say hi to the audience. See, this is real. I'll get back to the A's in a second. I can't just let her come by. She's the only one that has access to my home studio and she brings me chicken pot pies from KFC every Tuesday. Hi, come here, don't be shy, give me a hug. Give me a hug. Did you bring the chicken pot pies?

Speaker 7:

I did and I brought you a thing of tuna that I made up, so get some bread you should all be so lucky to have a friend like Darlene with a Y.

Speaker 1:

I'm telling you I'm the luckiest guy. Your hair looks nice, thank you, I just had it done and you look so summery, although you might want to ditch the long jeans right now. You look great, but you might want to throw some shorts on. It's like 100 degrees out there. You don't wear shorts. No, I wear shorts. Oh, she gasped at that. Huh, what now? I wear, you know, pedal pushers. She wears pedal pushers. She's laura petri. Ladies and gentlemen, whatever the heck. Capris, yes, you look stylish. Either way, all All right. I hate when you have to leave like that, but you know what I get it. She's an A's fan. Am I telling the truth about the A's? Those three guys, yes, come here. You're way off microphone. Come here for a second, don't be so quick now. Just because you want to go, look in the mirror and look at your pretty styled hair that looks so nice. Those three guys were pretty awesome players. Dave Parker just passed away. Ricky Henderson Dave Henderson, your thoughts as an A's fan?

Speaker 7:

Come on, I am such an A's fan. I mean, I was at the airport in 68 when they came in from Kansas City and we had season tickets until 1988.

Speaker 1:

So what did you think of these guys?

Speaker 7:

I loved them. City, uh-huh, and we had season tickets till 1988. Yeah, so what'd you think of these guys? I loved them. I'm an A's fan. I'll always be an A's fan. I don't care where they move, but they're always going to be the A's to me.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, alright, well, there you go.

Speaker 7:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Oh, listen to the train. Come by. Can everyone hear that? Listen to the train, here we go. Listen, here goes the train. I hope everyone can hear that on the podcast. Yeah, you can hear it. I love the sound of the train going. It's not too close, it's just. It's just like far enough away.

Speaker 7:

I'm ready for a trip.

Speaker 1:

You're ready for a train trip?

Speaker 7:

Yep.

Speaker 1:

Well, go jump on that one, maybe it'll take you back up to your home. It's headed up to your home. You might want to go hop that freight. Darlene with a Y. Ladies and gentlemen, it's a pop-by with Darlene with a Y. There she goes, looking good. Thank you, thank you, thank you, what you? Thank you. What a sweet lady right there.

Speaker 1:

Dave Henderson, ricky Henderson and Dave Parker. He died Saturday at 74. So what I was saying is it used to be. They would think if you did anything styling I hold up my air quotes then you were a hot dogger. These guys weren't. They were simply so happy Like they would play with the little, like the little top of their jersey. They'd get a home run or whatever, and you know, you'd see Dave Parker catch the ball, or any of them, with style Like there'd be, like this, total style to them. He's 74 years old. He was with the 89 A's, spent just two seasons there at the end of his Hall of Fame career in 88 and 89. Made an enduring impact with his bat, though, and, like I said, you know his abundant swagger.

Speaker 3:

And a fly ball hit into deep right center field and Griffey, going back to the track, to the wall, makes the leap and he'll fly away.

Speaker 5:

Dave Parker running his 11th run open Down the line in the right.

Speaker 3:

Goodbye, 3-0. The Athletics Strikes the count to Parker. Another long blast. This is well hit to right. The Seder is back. It is gone. Another two-run homer for Dave Parker. Game one the Giants and the Cubs. As Parker launches one to deep right center, this may get out of here. Gone the one-two pitch. Here's a drive to deep right center. Parker got all of this and it's over the fence and gone.

Speaker 1:

Dave Parker. Dennis Eckersley offered vivid evidence in an interview yesterday. Say that Parker wore a star of David necklace during his time in Oakland, prompting Act to approach him one day and asked Are you Jewish? Parker said Nope, my name is David and I'm a star To which Actors Lee laughed as he told the story. Eckersley laughed as he told the story, making a wider and more profound point about Parker's profound influence on the team with the A's in 88. They won 104 games in their regular season, lost to my beloved Dodgers in the World Series, eckersley giving up the huge home run to Kirk Gibson, steve Sachs on deck, vin Scully with the call. In the 89 edition as well, they won 99 games before crushing the Blue Jays and the Giants to earn the championship. That, of course, was in the Bay Bridge Series. So in the two years he played in Oakland he went to two World Series, losing one, winning one. Eck said he was a force of a man, got on everybody's ass. He said he was funny and he did it in a good way. You were laughing at yourself and a team that had all of this ego. It was tamped down by Dave Parker because he had a way about him that drew people to him and he wasn't shy and it's echoing my sentiments that he was quote styling all the time. Rest in peace, dave parker. My goodness, I mean, that is. That's just someone that I grew up watching and really respecting as a person, like I said.

Speaker 1:

So, I pulled this record from my record shelf today and this as part one and part two. It's a white label. It's a warner brothers beautiful condition. Wow, it's got some dust, but it's beautiful condition. There are no stamps, there are no stickers from the radio station. I think perhaps as the records became because this was later on, this was in the 80s, I think the earlier records that were in the radio station I'm really starting to notice this that these were the earlier records had the stickers and the stamps and everything, but once we got into the 80s I don't see as many. So it is a white label. Like I said, warner Brothers, in really good condition.

Speaker 1:

It's a song written by Prince, recorded by an American percussionist you probably already know who I'm talking about who later had a song that I really dig. Man, I really get into the groove and I'll just tell you the name of it, which will give away this artist Love Bizarre, love, love, bizarre Anyhow. So this artist produced both the song lyrics reflect a cynicism for the decadence and the materialism of the song's protagonist, referred to in the third person who wants to lead the name of the song. But she's aware, without love that's just not. You know, it ain't much. It's the title track of the closing song on this artist's debut solo record. Went to number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, went to number one on the Hot Dance Music Club play chart, earned two Grammy nominations, three MTV Award nominations back when they used to actually play music videos on MTV, music videos on MTV. The original Prince demo of the song was released after his passing. So let's just put it on. And again. This is part one.

Speaker 1:

Part two, here's part one of Sheila E Glamorous, the Glamorous Life. Here we go, here we go. She wears an overcoat of me, even in the summertime, everybody knows from the cold little rain. The girl's got a lot on her mind. She's got big, big thoughts, big dreams and a big promise. And it's a dare. What about this girl? She really wants me to be in love with a man. A cleverest life. She don't need A man's touch, she must believe. A cleverest life without a lot, it ain't much. Take a look at the personnel. Prince did the writing. Like I said, anaya Day on the vocals, andrew De Silva bass T-Funk produced it as Mr Timothy no, I don't own the rights to this. Trying to educate, is that right? I wonder what the difference is between part one and part two.

Speaker 4:

Hmm.

Speaker 1:

Let me see. So let's flip it over here and see what we can do with this one. Let's see here. All right, let's see what the difference is. I like the intro. Is it kind of an instrumental? Oh, it's like an instrumental. I'm getting All right. You know what, as we're listening to this instrumental the glamorous life. Right, can I just do this? Can I just remind you of a great thing going on here on Pat's Peeps, my brother, tim, who owns AI Lending. I'm just going to do it.

Speaker 6:

Pat, one other thing that I wanted to mention to you, because it's your show, pat's Peaks Group, and I wanted to make sure that I didn't talk to you about this in advance, so I can get your thoughts and your reaction on it. I understand that you're the host of Conservative Tours, yes, and my understanding is your next trip is to Sicily, I believe. Is that correct?

Speaker 1:

Actually, yeah, we just started talking about that. You were actually going to Sicily this fall. We're going to the Italian Riviera in April for spring, yeah, that's amazing.

Speaker 6:

That's awesome. It looks like I made you join me. I wanted to share this with you. So, generally, I think that's in October, if I'm correct, or the um, I think that's been October, if I'm correct, or September, October, something like that. Um, so the next four or five months generally started in March, April, May, June, July through through August, typically the buying season for the real, you know, for real, uh, for customers wanting to buy.

Speaker 1:

You know, as I'm listening to my brother, tim, we're having this and he's got this great deal and we've already gone to the Italian Riviera and it was awesome, by the way, conservativetourscom. But we are going to Sicily. It is in October, that has been confirmed. Tim is talking about, you know, the buying season right now, but I kind of wanted to get to this point, speaking of conservative tours, is that Tim's got an amazing offer for everyone.

Speaker 6:

And a significant other, so we'd like to pay for two.

Speaker 1:

So let me hold on a second here we go Draw out a name Hold on, here you go.
