SPEAKER_14:

Welcome my friends. It is the Pat's Peeps podcast. Thanks for being there. We're at number 350. I don't know. Feels like kind of a milestone for some reason. 350 podcasts here at the Pat's Peeps. Today is a Thursday. It is my sister Stephanie's birthday. I love you, Steph. Stephanie Suzanne Walsh, happy birthday to you. I couldn't ask for better sisters and brothers. I love it. So happy birthday here on October 16th, 2025. And as I look out my studio window into the beautiful foothills of Northern California, the sun is back out and shining. But heck, it's only like maybe the lower 70s. It's so beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. As always, I appreciate you tuning in today. Where today, I'm the host of the Pat Walsh show. I'm Pat Walsh, where we just celebrated 12 years of the radio show with the number one ratings. I like to say that. And an ever-growing Pat's Peeps family. Today, I thought it'd be kind of a fun day to share some things with you. I always like doing listener content because so many of you send content. It's it's just good stuff, you know, it's interesting, and heck, you know, I figure why not share it with you here on with others on the podcast here. So what I'd like to do is do that today, and then I've got a song here at the end. I'm gonna start off with one that I that I wanted to play for, and I just thought it was really touching. Very special. Of course, we're in the middle of football season, we've got baseball playoffs. This is a cool thing. This is not truly about sports, transcend sports. This is a water boy. He has Down syndrome. Noah Van Varoon is a senior at Little Shoot Wisconsin High School. He is the water boy doing everything he can for the for this for the football team. But on this day, the football team had a nice surprise for Noah as they put him put a helmet on him, pads, uniform for the school's final home game of the season. Noah, what do you know, ran for a touchdown?

SPEAKER_10:

For the Little Shoot Mustang strode out with the confidence of a seasoned veteran Friday night. And while he served up Gatorade on the sidelines for years, it was senior Noah Van Voren's first time ever in pads and a helmet.

SPEAKER_14:

I'm a big senior now. I'm I'm so happy. My parents aren't here today. Have a big night tonight.

SPEAKER_10:

Van Voren has Down syndrome, yet on this field, he's always been one of the guys.

SPEAKER_00:

He's always positive, walking on the sideline, I'll pat you on the back, he'll say you're doing a great job.

SPEAKER_10:

His teammates said they wanted to repay him. So they and the whole town had an even bigger surprise waiting for Van Boren on the chilly October night. As the clock ticked down in the fourth quarter of a blowout win, the final home game came to a close. But there was time for just one more play. It was Van Waren's turn to take the ball. The Clintonville trackers let him pass. And away ran number 14, flanked by his teammates down the field all the way to the end zone. His first touchdown. As the crowd erupted, many were visibly moved by the sportsmanship. None more than Van Weren's parents, Kara and Todd.

SPEAKER_12:

You know, he was born 18 years ago, and the doctors told us that he would never be able to walk, talk, or do anything. And then to see him 18 years later, to do this, is amazing. It's amazing. And to have uh community as a little shoot, to to back him up and to to be to love him the way they do is is breathtaking. You can't you can't put it in words. You really can't.

SPEAKER_10:

For it turns out the young man who first suited up in his very last game had always been the MVP in their hearts. In Little Shoot, Kelly Schlecht, Fox 11 News.

SPEAKER_14:

Ready to go, and Noah. That's one of the best highlights I've seen this year. That was nice. Speaking of football, let's stick it, let's stick there for a minute. Let's go with what Robin the Interrupter sent us. Robin the Interrupter. She is a Dolphins, figure this one out. She is a Dolphins slash Rams slash 49er fan. Dolphins first. Dolphins have not been playing well. Their coach is Mike McDaniel. I think he's suffice it to say, I think Michael's on the hot seat this year, to be completely honest with you. This is obviously AI, but it's fun. Here is the uh AI cover version of Mike McDaniel's Mike McDaniel's last pressure after the Dolphins' latest loss.

SPEAKER_13:

This Dolphin season has been a complete humanitarian disaster. It all started in week one when that pissed-off bastard child, Daniel Jones, scored on seven straight drives and lit us up 33-8. It set off a chain reaction. Next thing the cheetah loses his leg. And I thought, this week, hey, we're playing literally the shyest team in the entire NFL. We go up four with five minutes left, and I think, hey, maybe this is the moment where my fortunes change. Maybe I won't get fired next week. But no, yet again, I get punished for having any belief whatsoever in this team's ability to close out games. Because that emaciated Bryce Young marches down the field like he was an anorexic Tom Brady and scores the game-winning touchdown. Anyways, our season is in shambles. Hard Rock Stadium is one big goddamn radioactive dumpster fire. And I'll probably get fired on fing Monday. Well, there you go. Wow.

SPEAKER_14:

Yeah, righty then. That was fabulous. Here's Michael. Michael sent us this. This is listen to content paths, peeps 350. Here is MM's Without Me. Except done if this were done. If Eminem's Without Me was done 50 style. Yes. Who's back?

SPEAKER_05:

Back again. Shady's back. Tell a friend. Guess who's back? Guess who back? Guess who's back? Guess who's back? Guess who back?

SPEAKER_06:

I've created a monster. Nobody wants to see my shoe no more. They want shady. I'm chopping liver. Bolivia won't shady. This is what I give it. A little bit of meat mixed with some hot liquor. Some vodka that'll jump. I'm starting my heart quicker than a shock when I get shot. The hospital by the doctor when I'm not cooperating. When I'm rocking the table while it's operating. Hey, you waited this long to stop debating. Cause I'm back on mama. I know that you got a job. Miss Chainin, but your husband's heart problems complicating. So the FCC won't let me see. That's good. It feels so empty. Scary part of me. So come on hip. Mom on your lips, jump back, jiggle the hip, and wiggle a bit, and it's actually like it better than Eminem to get me to get a suit.

SPEAKER_05:

F you Debbie.

SPEAKER_06:

No, this looks like a job for me, so everybody. Just follow me, cause we need a little controversy, cause it feels so it's look like a job for me, so everybody. Just follow me, cause we need a little controversy, cause it feels to without me. Wow, wow. They start feeling like prisoners helpless. Till someone comes along on a mission and yells, bitch, a vision, every vision is scary.

SPEAKER_14:

That's scary. It's so good. Oh God. Man, where are they going with this AI? I mean, I would literally buy that if I didn't even know what that was an A M M cover. I'm pretty good stuff. Alright, let's go to Sean. Sean always sending us great content. Here is a 13-year-old boy. She says, I cannot believe this young man is only 13 years old, and he articulates amazingly. So, Sean, there you go. Thank you very much for this.

SPEAKER_01:

Hi, my name is Charlie Brown. I'm 13 years old. Charlie Brown. And I am a part of slash founder of a mission called Where's Charlie? This mission was created after the assassination of Charlie Kirk because it made me think, what nation do we live in where people are killed for exercising their right to free speech? My mission is best described in this quote. You can kill the messenger, but not the message. I am trying to bring together hundreds, thousands, and eventually millions of people to be a Charlie. To get truth and decipher that truth through critical thinking, just like Charlie did. Charlie may be gone, but now I am Charlie. You are Charlie. We are Charlie. And this is an American Comeback.

SPEAKER_14:

Very nice. Thank you, Sean. Here is uh Patty's, one of Patty's contributions. Uh Patty sends this from remember Scott Bayo? Uh the actor Scott Bayo? What's uh Joni and Chachi, right? Happy days. So this is uh Patty sends this. This is a Scott Bayo.

SPEAKER_09:

I had a show on up until 2016. You know what happened in 2016? I spoke for President Trump the first night of the Republican vention in Cleveland. And what do you think happened after that? I got canceled. And the reason I got canceled is because I spoke for Trump. And the reason that I did it is because I want my daughter, whom I love, to grow up in the country that I grew up in. And after that, I had death threats, and my daughter had death threats. So that's kind of where I've been.

SPEAKER_14:

Yeah. Wow. How about that? That doesn't get covered. Thank you, Patty. Big Bob. You know, I work at KFPK Radio. This guy started and made his career at KFPK Radio, the late Rush Limbaugh. Big Bob sending a little bit of Rush our way.

SPEAKER_15:

Join me, Rush Limbaugh weekdays.

SPEAKER_16:

Greetings and welcome back, my friends. Great to have you, Rush Limbaugh. Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have. We are in Los Angeles. We're going to be here for the whole week, but doesn't matter to you as long as I'm here. It doesn't matter where here is.

SPEAKER_15:

As usual, doing this program with half my brain tied behind my back to make it fair rush limbaugh. You can't see it. Behind there. On WABC News Talk Radio 770 in New York, we'll start in Medford out on Long Island. Jim, hello. Good morning, Your Excellency. How are you, sir? The views expressed by the host on this show make more sense than anything anybody else on the air has to say about virtually anything. That is one of the myriad reasons why this is the most listened-to radio talk show in history.

SPEAKER_16:

Greetings, great to have you. Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies. The telephone number is 800-282-2882. Rush Limbaugh, America's real anchor man. America's truth detector. Translator of Goblin Gok BS. And a doctor of democracy, all combined.

SPEAKER_14:

There you go, Rush Limbaugh. Thank you to Big Bob. There was more. And I miss Rush being on the airwaves. I know, I know many of you do. Let's go to Ralph. You know the Dodgers, they're a win away from going back to the World Series again, trying to repeat as champions. Ralph sends this to us. This is Vin Scully interviewing Sandy Koufax. How about that? After the Dodgers win the 1965 World Series.

SPEAKER_03:

Is that overramatizing or will you then find?

SPEAKER_02:

I feel like uh things really in the ballot. I really didn't expect um of the ball and go to the first ball.

SPEAKER_03:

Most better newspaper men around the ball were watching the show when you and Glassdale arrived. Which of the two had already changed? Because it's traditional that the pitcher with the beard is going to pitch. So you and Glassdale both came in unshaven. When did you find out you were going to pitch today?

SPEAKER_02:

That's my music. Well, you didn't know until he was.

SPEAKER_03:

Now tell me when you found out. Was it in front of the entire club or the manager's throw on?

SPEAKER_02:

He said that he thought he'd like to start the left-hander, and uh he had a reason for it. He said if I have to make a switch, I'd rather go left, right, left. Talking about Faranofsky as his last man if he had to make two moves, then start the right-hander and go left, left. You don't uh you don't change their lineup any when you do that.

SPEAKER_14:

Oh, I love it. The great Vin Scully, the great Sandy Koufax. Ralph, always appreciate the stuff that you send me. Thank you very much for that. Alright, now speaking of sports, this is a quick one. This is fun. I mean, not unless you're a Niner fan. Uh this one comes from Don. And right now the Niners are pretty injured. And uh, Don sent this one along. Again, this is pretty short, but here you go.

SPEAKER_03:

Anyone healthy enough to play football?

SPEAKER_15:

Not me, coach. No, I'm not. Yeah, no, shoulders. He's still locked up.

SPEAKER_14:

Hamstring, hamstring!

SPEAKER_15:

Coach, I think my back.

unknown:

Oh, God.

SPEAKER_14:

Josh, also sent to us today by Don. Here you go.

SPEAKER_11:

I'm getting ready to tell you the story of the most spiritually significant man in our nation's history you have never heard of. This guy, his name was Mordecai Ham. Not a famous guy. Um he was a he was a uh an American tent revival preacher in the late 1800s, early 1900s. In 1934, he was preaching a tent revival in Charlotte, North Carolina. And two 14-year-old boys saw the tent and they saw the commotion of people and they heard this bold love of the father preaching. They just happened to be walking by and they were like, huh. But as they walk up, they see there are no seats available. But as they walk away, an usher whose name no one knows to this day. An usher ran after these two 14-year-old boys and grabbed one of them and he said, Hey, we can find two seats for you boys together. And he walked them back, asked a couple people to scoot over, and found those two 14-year-old boys' seats. That day, they ended up giving their lives to Christ and consecrating themselves to the purposes of God and their generation. One of those boys was a man we now know as Billy Graham. Billy Graham ended up preaching the gospel to more people than anyone else has ever preached to in the history of the world. Tens of millions of people were caught up into the kingdom of God under the preaching of Billy Graham. The other boy's name was Grady Wilson. And he was the man that ended up helping Billy Graham organize all of his evangelistic crusades. He changed the world. Not Billy Graham, not Grady Wilson, not Mordecai Ham, the Usher. That one man that saw two 14-year-old boys walking away from the faith and said, Not on my watch. You get back here, boys. Your job is not to change the world. Your job is to change somebody's world. And if you're in my generation and up, we got a job to do. Our job is to run into the breach. There has been a breach. Our job is to run into the breach and say, not on our watch. Not while we're here. Where are the bullets the thickest?

SPEAKER_14:

I'm in. Wow. And let's see. And finally, George. Always sending us good stuff. Here is Alexandra Pelosi on hidden camera. Talking about January 6th.

SPEAKER_07:

Well, the reason I think time is going to remember January 16th. Right now, people are still in the human. Media needs stuff to film. I mean, if you watch TV on January 6th, it's like January 6, 247. As time goes on, it's gonna be less and as as um so I think I think also people are gonna lose their office their office for jobs. I really um I I don't know about it.

SPEAKER_08:

If there wasn't if there was an interaction, you were you were supposed to be fine, but you're not exactly overnight with your soldiers, you go over alright. You're gonna go here, you're gonna go and find this side. At this time, we're gonna take over this. One of my favorite guys.

SPEAKER_14:

Make of that what at what you will. George, thank you for that. Let's finish things up today with some music. This is a good old classic. I haven't heard this one in a while. Pulled this from from my rare record shows, my 45s. Uh, this is a song recorded by an American group, which became a major North American hit in 1972. Uh, the song was written by the band's guitarist Walter D. Nims. The lead vocals on the demo provided by Johnny McMurdy, who also uh also known as Johnny Mack. Background voices on this hit record were arranged by Tom Baller, sung by um uh Gene Sheffield, Debbie Klinger, and Mitch Gordon, oh, as well as Tom Baller. Uh this spent three weeks at number three on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, hit number one on the Cash Box Top 100, also reached number six on Canada's uh RPM 100. So this is very successful around the world. Uh the record itself, as I pull it out of the sleeve, it has got a couple of stickers on it. Radio station stickers says 72, January 72. Intro is nine seconds, it says. It's a white label. It is on carousel records. Oh, it's got another stamp on there on the other side from the radio station, like a stamp that says July 12th, 1971. Brings back memories. Let's put it on the turntable. It's a band called Climax, a song called Precious and Few, Pat's Peeps. 350. Happy Thursday.

SPEAKER_04:

And I can find my way back just one sweet.

SPEAKER_14:

I wanna say thank you so much for listening to Pat's Peeps. Three hundred and fifty. Appreciate you listening. And we'll see you on the radio.

SPEAKER_04:

I don't know if you take you.
