Tell you what, I'm feeling mighty special today. It's Pat's Peach Podcast Three Hundred and Forty One. How are you? Thank you. Today, my friends, why am I feeling it? The good vibe? I'll tell you for a couple of reasons. Number one, this is International Podcast Day. That's right. That's right, friends. International Podcast Day. It's a Tuesday, September 30th, 2025. I'm looking out of my studio windows into the beautiful foothills of Northern California, where today it is another lovely overcast and yet cool, nice and cool day. And so it's just a nice change in the weather. That's really nice. Also, so I'm happy about the fact that we are celebrating what we are doing right now, which is a podcast. And the ever growing popularity of podcasts in general. And thanks to you. Thanks to you. Today is by far the biggest day ever. Where's my there we go? The biggest day ever on my podcast. For whatever reason, today more of you have listened to the podcast on International Podcast. I guess that's the reason. You guys, thank you so much. For everyone who's new to the podcast, thank you. We have prior to this 340 to choose from, including Saturday's cartoon special, the special edition. I am so grateful for you and thankful. I could not believe the numbers of podcasts today, our new listeners through the roof. Fantastic. So it is, like I said, it's an it's International Podcast Day. For those of you who do podcasts, because remembers, like I always say, old God's Children got a podcast. Now, this that doesn't mean they all should have a podcast, but many of us do. And so this is, you know, it's celebrated today, September 30th. The celebration of the power of podcasts. A great opportunity to connect with other podcasters, with you, with podcast enthusiasts and leaders in the industry, blah, blah, blah. Hashtag International Podcast Day. Hashtag Pat's Peeps. Podcasting has evolved over the years. My podcast, I haven't listened, gone back and listened to the first one, but I can guarantee you, just like my radio show, by the way, my name is Pat Walsh. I'm the host of the Pat Walsh show, heard on KFPK Radio in Sacramento. 93.1 FM, 15 30 a.m., Monday through Friday, 7 to 10 p.m. My show has evolved since I began. Almost 12 years ago, by the way. We're what now? Heck, we're only um 15 days? 15 days away from celebrating one dozen years. Where's my there we go? One doesn't one dozen years on my radio show, the Pat Wall Show. That has evolved over time. Podcasting has evolved. So thank you for being a part of it. And of course, here on Pat's Peeps, you know, I try to explain exactly what we're doing. So let me just say it in a nutshell. Here's the concept. And so I do a podcast every day to draw attention to PatSPeeps.com. If you go to PatSPeeps.com, I represent local business. Right now we're adding more and more food. We have a lot of businesses up there. The Pat's Peeps Businesses is right there. You can find my podcast on any streaming platform, but we support the local business. So you can listen on any platform. But if you do go to patspeeps.com, I have merchandise up there that would that help support our cause. Really nice, fun stuff. Also, you know, our businesses. So some of them are gonna be more everyday businesses. We get a lot of specialty type things. So if I support them and you support them, then that's what we're trying to do. Okay. AI lending, my brother's business. You know, we're gonna put a first hundred people in it, the names of the hat, we're gonna pull one out. One of the lucky winners is gonna go on a trip to Europe with conservative tours. So that's in a nutshell what we're trying to do. Give you a podcast, draw attention to local business, and hope you go to the local business and you get a discount. So, with that in mind, I want to celebrate 340 now, 341 podcasts. If you start thinking about podcasts, here's some facts about podcasting. First of all, most podcasters quit within the first three to twenty episodes. I had heard that the average is seven. Before they go, you know what, that's it. But in doing research, they say people quit, most people, most podcasters, air quotes. They say that's enough. First three to twenty episodes. Some data suggests that 90% do not get past episode three. It also suggests that 90% of the remaining podcasts do not last beyond episode 20. So think about that. 90% don't get past episode three, then another 90 past episode 20. We're on 341. I do it every day. Plus the show. So we're talking five. I'm doing 10 shows a week. I'm not bragging about it. It's just my passion. I love it. Why are people quitting? What are the reasons? Well, here's some reasons. There is a significant amount of work and time that is required to do this and do it right, my friends. Honestly. You know, it's not just popping open a microphone and goofing around for a couple of minutes. It is work. Because what people don't understand is the producing. You have to produce. You don't just pop a mic and start a stream of thought, although I have done that many times. But I always have bullet points, and you know, you have to produce. You have to have topics. You know, my podcast is different than many in that I'm trying to entertain, infotain, make you laugh, whatever the case may be, do whatever we're talking about. I'm not a niche. You know, we're not about cigars like Scott Robinson and Beyond the Humidor who will be joining me on my show tonight. We're not a niche, you know, bowling or, you know, whatever it might be, dogs or autism or whatever the topic might be. We're all over the map. But we work really hard at this. So, yes, one of the main reasons is the amount of work that it takes to really do what I at least would consider a good quality podcast. There's also creative fatigue. Think about this. Every day, or most people don't do it every day. I'm being honest. Most people don't aren't insane like me. They're not doing it every day. They're maybe once a week. I don't really know what the average is. I'm doing it every day. Thank God my mind, for whatever reason, always is on this creative flow where I'm coming up with stuff. And I try not to duplicate for the most part my podcast and my three-hour radio show. So you always have to be on the ball with your creative flow. New things have to come to you every single time. Lack of content strategy, lack of distribution plan. I don't know what to say about that. I I don't have a lot to say. Content strategy or discipline. Okay. Unrealistic expectations about achieving overnight success. Hey, I promote this on radio every night. It has not been an overnight success. And for a variety of reasons. You know, I have a middle, middle to middle-aged, young to middle-aged, and and and some older listeners on my show that some of those folks that God bless anyone who doesn't know how to do it, they're not quite sure. I mean, how do I get into a podcast? What does it take a lot? So, I mean, that's a whole thing. But anyhow. Um yeah, so those numbers, that's a pretty high dropout rate, right? Overall failure, some sources indicate that a high percentage of podcasts, around 75 to 92 percent, fail within the first six to twelve months, or be so before episode 25. Listen, if you're six to twelve months, I mean compare that to what I'm doing. Again, I'm not trying to brag, I'm just a hard worker. Six to twelve months, and you've done 25 podcasts. Really? Wow. Okay. Again. Why? Why are you quitting? Time and workload, significant work time, creation, editing, fatigue, coming up with consistent, engaging topics, storylines that everyone, you know, everyone, every episode can become tiring and lead to a lack of new ideas, right? So you gotta keep it fresh. And without the clear strategy, we're talking about content frameworks, systems for weekly production. You gotta maintain the momentum. In other words, you gotta keep you have to be consistent. So, anyhow, enough about that. And so I what I wanted to do is talk about the last year. Two years. Two years. I've been doing this two years, I think. I don't know if it's been quite two years. I think we're coming up on two years in November of doing the podcast. I believe that's what it is. Two years in November. And I remember breaking that news on uh the bus ride, one of the bus rides in Italy. As I was going through northern Italy, I made that announcement, and all those good folks listen to my show, to my podcast now. I cannot thank you enough. So I thought it'd be fun to just kind of highlight some of the you know, some of the things over the past couple of years that were featured on the Patch Peeps podcast. Let's go back to podcasts, so we're at 341. Let's go back to podcast 266. So this was a day at the Strawberry Music Festival back in May of this year. My cousin Nick visiting from Spokane, my best friend Hefe visiting from Lancaster. We go out to the Nevada County uh fairgrounds in Grass Valley, where we were having a blast. Three guys having a blast with a fart machine. So please enjoy from the last year, May. We're drinking beers, ain't gonna lie. We're at the fairgrounds, we're drinking beers. You know what I'm saying? By the way, we got the we got the flat, I'm gonna call it the flatulence machine out there. We got we are so juvenile on Pat's Pat's Peeps 266. We are so juvenile. We have the uh I'll call it just to clean it up. You know, some would call it a fart machine. We'll clean it up, we'll call it a flatulence machine. But the truth is we've retreated to our roots, okay? And so we're at this point where we've got these chairs set up. We're drinking beers, right? We've got the fart machine. Uh oh, sorry, the flatulence machine. And we're ambushing passers by. Right. It's it's it's all covered up in like pine needles and pine cones. And people walk by and we hit the remote button, and they look at each other very accusatory. I believe we've already worn out a set of batteries. So, and so what guys can do, this is how immature we can really be. All right, you got nothing better to do in your life than to sit in a couple of freaking lawn chairs with a fart machine and drinking beers. That's right. That's what we're doing because we're guys amateur. And here's what dudes do. And I can't do it though, but Nick and Jeff can do this. One of you, can you open my my beer? Please I got a bottle of beer. No, no, no. These guys use like anything with an edge. I'm gonna do it. See, and then them guys fight over it. They fight over it, they're fighting over it. Listen to these two clowns. I ask, like, no, no, I'm gonna open it. No, I'm gonna open it, no, I'm gonna open it.
SPEAKER_23:If they could they would know that an 805 IPA is being opened with a Telemor due fifth whiskey bottle. That's right. Here we go. Can we can we catch the sound? Oh yeah. There you go. Yes.
SPEAKER_03:There you go. Hey, what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna walk over to the flatulence device. When I get over there, I want you guys to give them just a little bit of the sound. A little bit of the cheese pack. All right, hold. Hey, all right, here we go. I'm gonna walk over here. Hold on. All right.
SPEAKER_07:Let her rip.
SPEAKER_03:Odd patch peeps 266. Go ahead, one more time. It's got a variety of songs. Oh, is it? Oh, so then you're saying this is not serious. Somewhat. So setting up the fart machine at the flatulence device. Well, yes. And while drinking beer is probably serious at the beginning. It's not serious. Jeff, what do you have to add to anything? I got nothing to add to another side. It's just pure, just great entertainment here this year again. And cleaning strawberry music somewhat. No, it really is. It really is. It's great entertainment every year. The thing about strawberry. Oh, they do.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, the kids are Wake up to the sound that beats on the air. Daily Pride is the game that would swear. Every episode leaves craving for the spill.
SPEAKER_14:In the world, the stories are gold!
SPEAKER_10:That's gotta be every day.
SPEAKER_03:You know, one of the highlights uh for me was on Pat's Peeps 330, where I had the opportunity once again to speak with the legendary musician, businessman, all-around good guy Herb Alpert. Pat SPeeps to 330.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah! Yes, right, baby. Good morning. It's a Friday.
SPEAKER_03:How can you be in a bad mood listening to the Herb Albert and the Tijuana brass? That's right, ladies and gentlemen. Friday, September 12th. This song was very influential on me as a young boy, and still is to this day. You're gonna find out why right here. Because of that. Anyone who knows me personally will get that. Anyone who's hung around with me for any period of time will get that. I grew up with this music. Instead of our usual theme song from our friend Johnny Quality, we're going with Herb Albert and the T you want to brass. I had an opportunity, because they're coming to town. I had an opportunity to talk to Herb Alpert, who is just, gosh, this guy is one of my favorite guys. We are joined, and I am so honored to be joined by one of my favorite people, man, Herb Alpert, who I've actually had the pleasure of meeting, and Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. How cool is that? An honor for you to join me on my podcast today. How are you, sir?
SPEAKER_12:Hey, Pat. I'm good. Nice talking to you again. Yeah, I'm coming again, but this time with a bigger band. And boy, it's been a quarter ride for me. You know, I never thought this would happen at my age, but rebirth of the Twitter brand. And um I'm gonna give it to you. It's gonna be my birthday present. Pretty amazing. Trying to make a sound out of the uh it was it was making noise for me. And I am an introvert. I'm a hard caring introvert. When this trumpet started making the sounds that I couldn't get out of my mouth, it was uh I don't know. It was a relief for me. I didn't have to talk, just had to play the horn.
SPEAKER_03:That is so interesting. The horn was sort of your way of communicating as an introvert. I never heard that from you before. That that boy, good choice, I have to say. You were talking about a teacher playing it in school, oh, at elementary, I think you said. I remember you saying one time uh that uh I don't know if it was that teacher or who it was, that said, Hey Herb, you're playing a basically a piece of plum in there is what you're doing. Is that is that a true story?
SPEAKER_12:Yeah. Well, an absolute true story, but that didn't happen until later in life. You know, when I was already a professional and I was successful as a musician, and then I had a I ran into a snack. You know, I I certainly wanted to be successful in the music industry, but I I didn't expect this to happen when I'm 90 years old. And the music sounds great, people love it, and I'm having a good time doing it.
SPEAKER_03:And that's what matters, it's you're having a good time. And and that music is it's hard to be in a bad mood. When you're listening to the Tijuana Brass, it is very happy music. I'll tell you this. Uh how it influenced me. This is the silliest thing, but it's so true. To this day, everyone, anyone that knows me, her I'll I'll make this sound. Fr. I'll make a little um, I'll do a little song because I'm always singing. I sing in a in a band, and and at the end I'll I'll goof around with someone, I'll go fr at the end. Where did I get that? Number one, laugh in. Laugh in used to do the thing and they go, yeah, right. Do you remember what I'm talking about? There you go, dan, dan, dun, furk. And then you have Dijuana Taxi, who beautifully at the beginning and at the end of the song goes, fr. That little silly thing, herb, has stuck in that.
SPEAKER_12:Yeah, I guess some beans for breakfast.
SPEAKER_03:And anyone that knows me knows I do that. So I am so curious, where did that little, it's kind of like a little sour horn sound. How did that idea come about?
SPEAKER_12:Well, it's an actual sound. It's it's uh there's a cla uh instrument called a klaxon, and it makes that sound, and it seemed like a perfect end to that.
SPEAKER_17:I love that.
SPEAKER_12:It wasn't, you know, really planned on the paper. It was just something that just evolved.
SPEAKER_03:You know, Herb Alpert is just a class act, and one of the most powerful men in the record business. He and Jerry Moss AM Records. He he is a class act, and I can't wait to see him again coming up in November, and for him to give me so much of his time and uh the first time around, uh, invite me backstage to go visit and have a conversation with him. I will always be so grateful for that. You know, one thing here on the Pat's peeps, we're always supporting local business. Of course we are, I always tell you that.

SPEAKER_09:Single pants, little woman. Don't forget my son to include everyone. Sleep with the woman.
SPEAKER_02:Scary.
SPEAKER_25:He refuses to wear his hearing aids out of pride and is too stubborn to admit that he can't hear 80% of what's going on.
SPEAKER_08:What did the doctor say about your blood pressure?
SPEAKER_25:Yes. He treats every vacation like a military operation, and the fanny pack is his weapon of choice. He has over 2,000 tabs open on Internet Explorer, and one of them's been running since 2004.
SPEAKER_24:Marge.
SPEAKER_25:Dad, you don't have to say your name and number in every voicemail. I know it's you. He doesn't believe in therapy. Why pay all that money when you can take out your repressed emotions for free on Waitstaff?
SPEAKER_24:What is this crap playing? Can't you put on something normal? Like the Eagles?
SPEAKER_25:He has a glass cabinet full of figurines he's irrationally proud of. He still calls it the Google and the YouTube.
SPEAKER_24:Hey honey, what's that video website you were talking about again?
SPEAKER_25:Was it the YouTubes? He believes everything he reads in the paper and nothing his wife tells him. He thinks text messages should be signed, like letters. Yours truly, Mike Hunt. The quieter the room, the louder he talks.
SPEAKER_24:Now, this isn't a bad time at all. Yeah, we just got back from Florida, Dine. Let me tell you all about it.
SPEAKER_25:He bought his house in 1976 for a pack of gum and a couple of pine cones, and still tells people to just work harder. He prints out map quest directions because paper never lies. He still gets lost. You're the one who told me to take that exit.
SPEAKER_21:I never said that. If you had your hearing aid in, you would have heard me say, don't take that exit. It's always about that damn hearing aid with you.
SPEAKER_25:Nothing gets him going like a good email chain titled FWFWFW. Hilarious. He watches the news every night just to confirm that everything's falling apart. You know, Marge, everything's going to crap.
SPEAKER_08:Hmm. Same as yesterday. Pass the pepper.
SPEAKER_24:He is the most boomer man in the world. I don't always drink, but when I do, I complain about the price. Stay off my lawn, my friends.
SPEAKER_03:You know, be now that it's a Tuesday. Tuesdays are celebrated behind the scenes. Thanks to good people and good friends. Tuesdays, you see, those are the days because I'm a very busy guy, like I'm sure many of you are. And thank you to the wonderful Darlene with a Y who listens to every podcast and every show. That's right. And she is the president of the Pat Wall Show fan club on Facebook. So Tuesdays are very special because I don't have to worry about making myself lunch and breakfast because she pops by with the pot pies from KFC, formerly known as Kentucky Fried Chicken. So Tuesdays are very special here on Pat's Peeps. As we go back to episode 274. Also, I'm gonna let you know. Oh, wait a second. Wait a minute. Someone is apparently at my door. Now that never happens here on the Well, as I as I'm doing my Pat's Peeps, which is interesting. Who's out here? Hold on a second. Well, look who stopped by the neighborhood. It's Darlene with the Y. Darlene with the Y bringing me some stones from my plants. Hello, Darlene with a Y.
SPEAKER_15:Hello.

SPEAKER_16:It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Thank you.
SPEAKER_03:It's a beautiful you sing very well. How long have you been singing, Darlene with a Y?
SPEAKER_16:You don't want to know about the wheel.
SPEAKER_03:I want to know. The audience would like to know how much.
SPEAKER_16:Let's see, probably 50 years.
SPEAKER_03:50 years. You're no more than 60 years old, so that's pretty impressive.
SPEAKER_15:Yeah, I thought so.
SPEAKER_03:It's a beautiful day. What did you bring us today?
SPEAKER_15:I brought you some clay.
SPEAKER_03:Like a chip. This one's smooth. Can you say smooth? Huh? Smooth on the bottom? Smooth on the bottom. Yeah. Now, which one are we going to use here for the beautiful plant that you're doing?
SPEAKER_16:That's what I was wondering.
SPEAKER_03:What kind of a plant? What are we doing here today? Tell us what we're doing. Well, we're putting on a beautiful day. Well no.
SPEAKER_16:We're making a dry arrangement in a barrel. However, I wasn't sure if you were gonna keep that or get another pot for that, so I brought both.
SPEAKER_03:Now the bottom is out of the barrel.
SPEAKER_16:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Bottom of the barrel blues.
SPEAKER_16:I think so.
SPEAKER_03:So we've got the uh so what have we put into the plants so far? What kind of plants are these?
SPEAKER_15:Well, these look like pussy rolls.
SPEAKER_03:Excuse me?
SPEAKER_15:These look like pussy rolls.
SPEAKER_03:Can you say pussy? I said pussy. Sure, I know you could. I like that word. Did you know? Did you know I like that word? Sure. Sure you do.
SPEAKER_16:I try to please.
SPEAKER_03:There you go. Um, so it's like a dried arrangement with pussy.
SPEAKER_08:Bringing chicken Popeyes, always something true. We sing our hearts out karaoke every night. In her laughter, everything feels so right. With her by my side, the world's a better place. Dancing in the kitchen, it's our happy space. So here's to Darlene, my karaoke queen. With Popeyes in hand, she's living the dream. Together we'll sing. Never miss a beat in a world full of love. We can't be beat. She's the reason I fly. He's the reason. With every bite of pie. She brings warm to my soul. To my soul. Together we're unstoppable. We make each other whole. Every note we hit, it's magic in the air. In this friendship circle, nothing else can compare. So here's Tataline, my karaoke queen with Popeyes and hands. She's living the dream. Together we'll sing. Never miss a beat in a world full of love. We can't be beat.
SPEAKER_03:If you go back to Pat's Peeps. Number 64. I spoke with former Sacramento Kings announcer Grant Napier, who was fired by a radio station that did not back him, by a team that didn't back him. After a tweet from DeMarcus Cousins baited him, and he said, All lives matter.
SPEAKER_08:In the song of our lives, the love never ends.
SPEAKER_03:Thank you to Darlene with a why. Grant Napier talked about that.
SPEAKER_22:I don't really have an issue with Demarcus Cousins for his tweet to me. If you would respond, if you would put out a tweet to me and you ask me what I thought of the LM, I would have responded the same way. I would have said all life matter every single one. If we were alive, if you put out a tweet to me, I would have responded all life matter every single one. I'm not putting myself on the believe that if you have a problem with the phrase all lives matter, every single one, then you need to look in the mirror because you've got a problem.
SPEAKER_03:That's Grant Napier, who I agree with right there, on Pat's peeps number 64. I remember at the time doing that thinking I was so far into my podcast, and now here I'm at 341, thinking I'm so far into my podcast, I can only imagine what is next. As we now approach 75,000 downloads of this podcast, which is, by the way, no video, no niche, only audio. So you guys. And making it a record-breaking day today is absolutely awesome. And again, I cannot thank you enough for that. You know, here's a fun one from it's one of my favorites. Uh going back, uh, this is on I don't even I I don't even know. It's just going back. This is one of the things I featured on one of the podcasts. And it's kind of like the way if I was a music DJ, like this would be like my fantasy way of going out. Because I know how these radio stations work. So here is one of my favorites from Pat's Peeps podcast. This is going back to 1988 when radio legend Coyote Calhoun gets fired on the air. Please enjoy.
SPEAKER_17:I appreciate your support and your votes and confidence. What we're talking about right now is this station's format, which is bugging me. You know what I'm supposed to play next hour? Oh. Madonna, open your heart. Please every breath you take. We haven't heard that song enough, have we? Please, every breath you take. How many times do you think we've played that song in the past four years? Probably 5,000 times. My point is, my point is, how many times we played Pink Floyd off their brand new CD? Zero. None. Well, you know, I played two or three cuts off the Pink Floyd C D in the past three months. You know how I did it? I sneaked the C D in here and I played it without authority, without permission. Why? Because I knew you wanted to hear it. The CD has sold four million copies. We played nothing off it. That's a good business decision. Oh, I can tell these people are smart. We hire a consultant to tell us, don't play that. Sold four million copies. Someone might like it. We've got a remedy for that. We're gonna bring a pin flight right now, ladies and gentlemen. Stand behind me because we have to change the electronic rate and it's completely fascinating radio station is run. I'm sure you agree. You turn out here in the same old time. My hotline is ringing. Well, my hotline is ringing. I bet this will be interesting. Let's uh let's answer the hotline on the air. Oh, this will be fun. Don't tell anybody. C102 FM. Hello. What the hell are you doing? I'm playing I'm playing one of my favorite bands, uh, Boston. I'm playing Boston, Steve. A lot of Boston is what I'm doing. Why?
SPEAKER_25:Is this on the air?
SPEAKER_17:Ladies and gentlemen, Steve Russell, our program director of WCBQ. Yes, Steve, we're on the air.
SPEAKER_25:Get me off the air now.
SPEAKER_17:Lighten up, Steve. Just a bit. Just a joke. Get me off the air now. No. I'm not gonna. If I take you off the air, then you'll give me a bad time. Why don't you just tell the people since? Well tell you what, ladies and gentlemen, let's uh let's not let that ruin our party. Let's uh let's play some more Boston. See what we'll do after. We'll just call Steve and make sure that his uh that he's not angry. Hello. Hello, who is this? Janice. Janice, ladies and gentlemen, the lovely life of Mr. Steve Russell, Janice. Hello, Janice, how are you? I'm fine, thankful. You're still having a sexual problem. No. Um let me speak to Steve, please.
SPEAKER_15:He's not here.
SPEAKER_17:Where is it?
SPEAKER_15:Uh he's on his way to the station.
SPEAKER_17:He's coming here. Oh. Okay, well. I I'll talk to him when he gets here then, okay? Okay, uh nice talking to with you. Bye, Janet. Okay. Let's play some mountain. He should enjoy this talk. I think Steve will enjoy some mountain. We don't play this either. It's a mountain, Steve. Oh, boy. Steve is on his way to the station. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna leave the microphone on because when Steve gets here, I want him to state his position. I want him man to man to sit down in the chair and tell everybody while we listen to this Jeffries boob and and while we we follow these music sheets and have no leeway what to do. I'll tell you something. I gotta follow this music sheet, but if the ratings come back and and my ratings, my book is bad, no one's gonna get fired. No, not Mr. Jeffries. Not Mr. Russell, Mr. Calvin will be fired. So I should have some input into my show. And you should have some input. If you want to hear something, I should be able to play. So when Steve gets you, will leave the mic on, and what do you get so we'll ask him? Why are we putting up with this? We know what to do. We've been in radio 10 or 15 years. We don't need management to tell us what to do, ladies and gentlemen. Shut the mic off. Ladies and gentlemen, the program director of WCBQ and my friend Steve Russell. Hello, shut the mic off. Back off. You're making it worse.
SPEAKER_26:Shut the mic off.
SPEAKER_17:The mic stays on.
SPEAKER_26:Cut the mic off, or you're gone.
SPEAKER_17:I can't I can't I cannot believe that this is a big damn deal.

SPEAKER_14:I'll kill you.
