Pat's Peeps Podcast
Ep. 352 Today's Peep's Blood Pressure is Under Control, Sicily Plans & Beatles Dreams, Goats Eat My Podcast Notes, and a Long-Lost Gem from the Honey Cone
Ever had a morning that starts with a simple walk and turns into a full-on highlight reel? We open the mic on a country road and let life flood in: a mapped-out journey to Sicily, a spontaneous hop to London, then a fast rail to Liverpool for a Beatles pilgrimage and that famous Abbey Road crosswalk. The travel spark sets the stage, but the heartbeat of this story is closer to home: a long-overdue health win that proves small choices stack up, and a reminder that the right routine can change the numbers and your mood.
As sneakers hit pavement, the day keeps delivering. We share why recording on the move solves time crunches and saves sanity, then ride a wave of good news—work humming, community strong, the Dodgers back on a title chase, Shohei Otani doing the impossible, and the Rams dropping a statement win in London. Just when things feel neatly scripted, serendipity barges in: dwarf Nigerian goats wander into the scene, nibble the show notes, and steal the moment. That brief, hilarious detour says more about joy than any plan ever could.
Then the dial turns to Listener Content Tuesday with a chilling, tender call you won’t forget—a man warned not to travel to Alaska in October by someone who might be more than a stranger. The story lands like a whisper from another timeline and leaves a question hanging: would you listen? We close on a groove with rare 45s, vintage ad gems, and the warm glow of roller rink memories. Press play for travel plans, health momentum, unexpected animals, and a mystery that lingers. If you enjoyed the ride, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review to help us reach more curious ears.
Good morning. Good morning. And welcome, my friends, to Pat Speed. Where are we at? 352. 352 on this Tuesday. This is October 21st. And wherever you're listening, thank you very much for listening to my latest podcast. By the way, my name is Pat Walsh, and I'm the host of the Pat Walsh Show, as heard on Terrestrial Radio, KFBK. News Radio 93.1 FM, 15.30 a.m. in Sacramento, heard 7 to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday. And proudly bragging about the number one show in Sacramento. At least until the next book comes out when I want to brag about it again. Just being honest. It's a lovely day today. And as you can probably guess, I'm out walking. Listen to that plane above me. I love that sound. I am right in the flight path to the airport, by the way. Although that's just a small plane up there, but God, it's so gorgeous. You know, I didn't do a podcast yesterday. That's very rare for me because, you know, I am now four days and counting before I depart on my latest Pat's Peeps journey. This is going to be with Conservative Tours, and we are headed to Sicily and other destinations. And then I will be leaving with Ryan Harris, a good buddy of mine, who said, Hey, listen, at the end of the trip, would you consider? I guess you got a bunch of air miles or airline points or whatever. Would you want to uh perhaps fly from Sicily? I mean, then this is the same day that everyone is leaving to come back home. And would you want to go to England? I've never been to England. Oh, then we're gonna go to London. I'll say this, my boys, the Rams took care of business in London this weekend. Yeah, boy. And the Dodgers in the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays. It's set up, ready to go, starting 29. But I digress. So we're gonna go to London. And then according to Ryan, he asked me if I would be interested in doing this as well. We're gonna take some kind of bullet train. Not a fancy one like uh from Stockton to Bakersfield or whatever. Newsom's trying to build, but this is gonna be a bullet train to Liverpool. That's a great name for an album. Bullet train to Liverpool. But yeah, we're gonna uh take what he calls the I guess it's the magical mystery tour, which by the way, good morning! Has nothing to do with uh psilocybin, I don't think. But we're gonna go. It's a busy little road this morning, man. It's a country road. I'm surprised. Man, look at all these people. Left hanging up right here. Morning. I'm at the train trust, big on fire. It's company 84 salute. We should do that in the trade dress or shout out, huh? Big shout-out. Fire engine 84. Alright, train dress and shout-out. Fire engine 84! All of our firefighters. Speaking of firefighters, they'll be celebrating a firefighter rather soon, which is awesome. But anyhow, magical mystery tour. I'll explain more what that means coming up. I got an invitation yesterday to uh go to a celebration for one of our friends who is one of the big chiefs. Hint hint of uh local fire. Anyhow, so we're gonna take a bullet train to Liverpool, and we are going to go see everything Beatles. Apparently, where some of the Beatles grew up. We're gonna go see the Abbey Road studios. That I wish I could go in, but apparently I don't know if they give tours. So at least I'm gonna do the touristy thing and go across the crosswalk, like as in the cover of Abbey Road. It's gonna be really cool to do that, I tell you. And then we're gonna come home, then I'm gonna have jet lag, and I'll have like one day to recover, and then I'll be back on the air doing my show, the Powell Wall show. So, really looking forward to it. So now, one of the reasons that I decided to do part of my podcast today, 352, uh, during my walk, number one, as I've been saying, there's a lot of reasons. Number one, time constraints, hard to sit down, do a podcast, produce a radio show and a podcast, get the work out in. So sometimes I combine them. And then the other thing is to, of course, do my very best to try to stay in some semblance of shape. Physically, you know, I want to be able to breathe right and all this stuff, you know, making sure your heart's your blood pressure and all that is good. And and part of it, maybe, I don't know, maybe is a byproduct of that. Perhaps, just maybe. Some of you who hear this, maybe you'll go, hey, you know, I don't know, maybe I'll work out too. I don't know. I'm not trying to do that, I'm not trying to be the quote influencer. I'm just talking. People have talked about things like this before, and I I've been influenced by it, but here's the good news. So this morning, I had a doctor's appointment. This is a new office for me. It's gonna be a new doctor. I had a doctor for over 20 years who was fabulous. During COVID, he became the chief, like, I don't know, chief of COVID medicine. I don't know what the exact title is, something like that. So I got tired of driving all the way to Folsom, that's way out of my way. Then I suddenly realized that I could go to the same group of doctors and I can go in Roseville. So this morning I went and met, I guess, with the I don't know, the nurse practitioner or whatever. And then I'm gonna meet with a doctor next. And I tell you what, I'm so glad I did it. Not just because of the location, but I love the office already. And the thing is that I don't I don't really reveal this kind of personal stuff too often or ever, really. Sometimes. I've talked about dental issues and things, but so it's no different. Uh I've had mild high blood pressure last couple of years, off and on, let's say. The kind where you take a little medication for it. Like the minimum. The kind where the doctor tells you, you know, you work out a little bit, you eat right, you won't even need to be on any kind of blood pressure medication because you're right there. So this is incredible news. Because I have been doing these walks, fast walking, and when I'm not podcasting, doing some jogging and running, since I've done that, I go in this morning, I take my blood pressure. Now again, there's a new office, and morning. And uh I go and I get my blood pressure taken. This practitioner, nurse practitioner, I think it was, said, Hey, you have great blood pressure coming in here. What? Really? I was ecstatic. I told them, I said, you know, I've been trying to work out, get my my cardio in, and keep moving like that in terms of getting some running and exercise like that to try to improve things. They said, Well, it's worked. Eating more salads. Man, they got this new net up here at the basketball court. I gotta come up and shoot before this one's all ripped up. You know what I need is one of those needles from my basketball. I don't have a pump, you know, I got a pump, but I don't have a needle. But anyhow, that was incredible news. So I wanted to share that today. It's amazing how getting news like that about your physical and about how you are in terms of you know your physical condition, that how that just brightens your day. Isn't it incredible? So here on Pat's Peeps 352 on this beautiful, just beautiful Tuesday. Sun is out, you know, it's a little warmer than I thought it was, probably in the maybe early 80s right now. I got a sweatshirt on, but it's just it just makes this day so great. And not to mention, I just want to say also, without getting too too terribly far into it, how happy I am right now for so many reasons, things going on in my life that are making me extremely happy. And it goes from my work to personal life to uh the health to just so many things. I mean, I feel blessed right now just talking to you. I'm so happy, and on top of that, like I say, going to Sicily, you know, just everything combined, it's it's just been wonderful. The ratings, but it's way, way more than ratings, it's just the people that I get to know through this. You guys are so cool. I am so happy my Dodgers are back in the World Series looking for back-to-back championships. And how about uh, I mean, Otani is just absolutely amazing. Everyone saw that. Here's a man who did something I've never seen anything close to doing in baseball ever. Striking out 10, working six innings, hitting three monster home runs. Shohei Otani hit one that was what was that thing? 469 feet or something like that over the pavilion roof and right? Go blue! Not only that, as I mentioned just briefly earlier, my Rams go to London. They come in on like what the day before after working out at Camden Yards in Baltimore and put the beat down on the previously 4-2 jags. 35 to 7 beat down. So in those those ways, I'm happy as well, you know. Oh, look at everyone. Are those wait a minute? Are those goats? What are those? What on earth? That is so darn cute. Oh my gosh, can I look at it?
SPEAKER_06:Oh yeah. He was just here helping with lawn maintenance, you know?
SPEAKER_04:Oh my gosh. I'm doing a podcast right now and I'm literally seeing goats on a table. You are the cutest thing. Oh, it's eating, it's eating my list. The goat just ate my little list of things that's on. Oh my god, they are so cute. How what how old are they?
SPEAKER_06:Um, uh let's see, June. They were born in June, July, August, September. Oh my gosh. So they're like three months, almost four months.
SPEAKER_03:They almost they just they're so friendly too.
SPEAKER_06:They're very friendly. This is Ivan. He would hang out all day if he wanted to.
SPEAKER_03:Ivan? How big do they get?
SPEAKER_06:Uh they're dwarf goats, so they don't get a whole lot bigger. But he's bigger than our full-grown ones. Oh my gosh. They get to be about 22 inches tall at the mothers.
SPEAKER_04:I literally walk up here, I'm talking about a variety of things. I'm doing a podcast. I'm gonna talk show host, I'm doing a podcast. I'm talking about my my rams winning, and I look over and I see goats and sheep.
SPEAKER_06:He would have been around, but I pants at him. So can I pet his Ollie? Hi, Ollie. Also eat your notes.
SPEAKER_04:You see what you eat? Ollie! Oh my gosh, they are beautiful animals.
SPEAKER_06:He's more beautiful down there.
SPEAKER_04:Oh my gosh, he is, huh?
SPEAKER_06:Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:He's got that deep. Does that feel good? Ollie, does that feel good? Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh, you gotta be hot and all that wool, huh?
SPEAKER_06:Yeah, and he was just running around too with us, so he was like, Oh, there.
SPEAKER_04:Wow, well, thank you for letting me say hi to them. They are just they're pygmy goats.
SPEAKER_06:No, they're dwarf Nigerians.
SPEAKER_04:Dwarf Nigerians. Dwarf Nigerians. Dairy goats.
SPEAKER_06:So they're dairy, so they are bred for like milk production.
SPEAKER_04:Really?
SPEAKER_06:So pygmy goats are, they used to be meat goats, but now they're just ornamental goats. Ornamental goats.
SPEAKER_04:Ornamental goats? Yeah. Yeah, that's a good name for our band. Yeah. We're looking for a band name, the ornamental goats. Yeah. That's funny.
SPEAKER_06:People, uh, so like dwarfs are proportionately small, so proportioned, and then pygmies have normal size like bodies, but really short legs.
SPEAKER_03:Oh.
SPEAKER_06:So that's why they look like little barrels.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Then I've seen the fainting goats too, which is really interesting. They're just a beautiful animal. I mean, they're just like they're just hanging out like dogs. They're so friendly.
SPEAKER_06:They are very dog-like because they're very friendly and they're super social and they're used, you know, they don't like- They don't bite at you or nothing like that?
SPEAKER_04:They what? They don't bite at you or nipple.
SPEAKER_06:What's this one's name? This is Pippi. Oh.
SPEAKER_04:Jeez, they're so you never get to see that. Thank you. You too. Bye. Ollie and Pippi and Ivan. Ivan, nice to meet you. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_03:That was so great. That was great. Oh my gosh. That was so cute.
SPEAKER_04:I should have taken a picture. I don't want to freak him out too much or nothing, but they ate my notes.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, I got it back out of their mouth. But see what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_04:Things are going so well right now. Like wonderful things that I want to expect, like meeting this goat and meeting her. She was very sweet. Both of them were. Wow. What else did I have on my uh notes here? What does it say? Because it's pretty much a rib. You know what? After that, I don't even want to. I'm not even gonna get into that thing. I was gonna talk about something else, but quite frankly, I don't wanna that'd be kind of a bummer, as I was to say. But it's nothing about me. It's not that guy's good with me. It's just I was gonna talk about something else. I don't feel in the mood now. Now that I met the goat. So anyhow, you know, as I said, here on Pat's Peach 352. I got some very good feedback about our listener content Tuesday. I just made that name up just now, but I did it on Tuesday, so might as well go for it on Tuesdays. Listener Content Tuesday. Lots good feedback, and thank you. So with that in mind, I think part two of my podcast today will be some listener content, alright? Beginning with a uh apparently a time traveler calling into a talk radio show at night, much like my show, except perhaps more along the lines of a George Norrie type of show who follows my show at 10 p.m. on our station. And uh it's really trippy. I'll play that for you, but it would be like someone that we call my show too. And I have so many good listeners, but some people, you know, they'll just they have interesting stories. So we're gonna start with that. Next, after this message from our sponsors, good morning, here on Pat's Peeps, 352. Here is a uh caller calling a radio station, uh, an evening show, which is what I have, 7 to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday, again, 93.1 FM, 1530 a.m. I've had people call me and say that they, of course, have seen ghosts. Uh people have said that you know they've seen UFOs, uh, that they have interacted with Bigfoot, and I'm very much a skeptic, and that's just the way just the way it is. UFOs! I believe somewhere out there there is something. Okay. The latter to uh but anyhow, here's a time traveler calling the radio station.
SPEAKER_05:Uh, sure. But I mean, even before you tell it, I can tell you that I don't have long to live.
SPEAKER_00:Well, that's yeah, that's kind of the gist of the story. Um I'm in my fifties, my daughter is in her twenties, she has no children, I have no grandchildren. One of my hobbies, I have uh a little fleet of kind of vintage motorcycles and and classic cars, all in various states of disrepair that I I ran during the summer. I always told her, look, when I'm gone, you can do anything you want with with these cars and motorcycles. The only thing is is uh I've got this 1931 Model A that's been in the family since the 50s, my dad and I restarted. Please keep that. And then I've got this little Honda 1972 Honda XL 250 that was my first big motorcycle, and it is just like in showroom conditions. So those are the only two that you know that I'd like to see stay in the valley. So during the summer, I um I like to get up early and uh before I go into the office, and I'll stop in at Starbucks for a cup of coffee and get ready for the day. Second week of August, I think it was the Wednesday, the 12th. I am sitting at Starbucks having a cup of coffee. Uh I've written my little um Honda 250 down in the uh that morning, and uh and a fellow comes in and he says, Hey, whose whose little Honda's got outside? And I said, Hey, it's it's mine. He says, Hey, I got one, you know, that's that's just like that. And so he comes over to the table and he stands there and we we we chat for a few minutes. You know how sometimes you just run into somebody and you just have this this rapport with them, and I just I mean this guy looked like he was maybe in his late twenties, early thirties. Um and we talked about cars and motorcycles. And um in this in this short conversation we had it, he also mentioned my grandfather left me a Model A and this in this bike. And I said, Oh, that's you know, that's a coincidence because I've got a Model A as well, and I'm thinking, God, you know, I had to I had to get to know this guy, my soul brother.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:You know, somebody that uh you know that that gets their hands greasy on these these vehicles together.
SPEAKER_07:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:So um we talked for a few minutes. I was gonna go get a refill, and my my cup is empty, so I stand up on the side of people and I said, Hey, can I get uh can I get your cup of coffee? Because he hasn't gone to get one. And he said, No, he said, I don't have much time. He said, I and I really need to be going, he said, but I need to play something. He said, and I know this is gonna sound crazy, and I can't tell you how I know. He started to get ulcer fucking right in my eyes, and his his his tears started dwelling up in his eyes, and he said, Do not go to Alaska in October. And I, you know, and I I probably go, I'm a geologist, I go work all over the Western US. And I go to Alaska five, six, seven times a year. Didn't have a trip planned, but and I kind of laughed and he said, you know, he said, I can't tell you how, you know, I know this, but I I just need to tell you, do not go. And, you know, and the tears were in his eyes, and he reached out and grabbed around me and gave me a big hug, and he whispered something while he was hugging me, and I was so kind of taken aback. And you know how sometimes when you hear something and it takes a little while to I didn't understand what he said. And uh and he let go of me and and and said, Remember that. And he turned and and strode towards the door, and I saw him go out the door and pass the windows, and I sat there for about ten seconds processing. What did he say? And suddenly I said, Love you, grandpa.
SPEAKER_05:And oh my god. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_00:And so and uh, and it's like I took off out the door and around the corner, and just as I rounded the door around the corner, I kind of saw this flash. And it was, you know, it's it's like 645, it's early in the morning, and you know, and it could have been like the sun glinting off a windshield or something, but it's when I came around the corner, there was no one there, and there weren't any cars.
SPEAKER_04:Hosted by Jim Vroman, Patz Peeps, 352. This is a good one. Listener Content Tuesday. Thank you to Don for this one that made me laugh very, very hard. Uh this is um here's some protesters. No King's Day protesters. Ralph, today today's sponsor, of course, this is National Hygiene Month for those of you who may not have got your cards and letters j out just yet. Uh r uh thank you, Ralph. Today is Pats Peeps three fifty-two brought to you by PepsiDent here in National High.
SPEAKER_02:So this is a new formula with much wider. You can see it means the stains and film away while serial. You'll wonder the yellow wet wind short is whip so it taste is no so fresh and clean. That no taste really less clean. It's like early rap. It also makes your peppy head on steady right away with epsilon. You'll wonder the yellow went wind short teeth with pepsodent.
SPEAKER_04:Hey you, yellow teeth! You wanna try some pepsodent? Hey, hey, yeah, you! I'm talking to you, Yellow Teeth. Thank you, Ralph. Today's Rare 45. This one comes from, well, my rare record shelf, and it's got a st it's on hot wax. I love that. It's got a stamp on it from the radio station. July 28th, 1971, it says. I remember this song. 1971 follow-up single to the number one pop and RB hit one ads. It was number one, number uno on the RB chart for three weeks, and the Hot 100 peaked at number 11. Their second consecutive certified gold single. It's just one of these songs. You know what it reminds me of? Again, this is another one of those songs reminds me of going to King's Skate, King's Roller Rink, way out there on Franklin, going roller skating. It's Honeycomb. Stick up that's P3 152. I just love this era of music like this. I don't want to write to this by the way, blah, blah, blah, blah, but educating, exposing. I want to wish you a very, very happy Tuesday, and I want to say thank you for listening. That's beautiful to 352. Let's see you on the radio.
