SPEAKER_08:

Well, hello there, hello. It is the Pat's Pats Peeps Podcast with 353 for a Wednesday, October 22nd, 2025. It's the afternoon, looking out the studio window into the beautiful foothills of Northern California. You know it's cloudy, the sun is peeking through, but it's a very cool day, very pleasant. How are you? By the way, my name is Patrick. I'm also the host of the Pat Wall Show. It's heard on KFPK Radio. Uh 93.1 FM 1530 AM. We stream live everywhere on the free iHeart app. Just like this podcast. And uh today is a day where I am really getting ready for my trip. Going to Sicily and in just a couple of days. We're uh leaving on Saturday. And uh so I'm in the packing stage. I mean, some of you might always say, Well, I would have already been packed. And I wait till the last second, only because I kind of have an idea what I want to take, but then again, I don't want to, you know, everything laying around. I just kind of want to I kind of make up my mind. Anyhow, you could call it procrastination, or I think it's actually very good timing. I didn't want to do it too early. Because here's the other thing, you don't want to do it too early because you want to check the weather forecast, and as it turns out, uh the weather forecast, um so I'm going to Sicily and then I'm gonna go from Sicily to England. Uh in Sicily, it appears there's gonna be a warming trend, so you know you want to address uh appropriate. And then, of course, uh I don't know what do I have to say about England? Again, I've never been there, but yeah, rain, I'm pretty sure. At least that's what I've heard is in the weather forecast. So it's one of those days, packing, I've been on the phone all day, you know, yeah yeah, all this stuff. Preparing for it, but that's boring anyhow. I hope you're doing well. Wherever you may be, thank you for listening to my podcast. Very grateful. Um you know, today, as I'm preparing for this, and I was talking about how I'm gonna be missing Halloween, I'm gonna be missing the World Series. Dang it! But I thought just for fun today, we'd have a little bit of fun with this. And, you know, uh so yesterday we got a little bit of listener content in, but then you know, I saw the goats and the goats ate my notes. That was awesome, by the way, I have to say. But I wanted to continue with a little bit of the listener content. And also, you know, one of the things about Halloween and me being a music guy, I always love all kinds of music, and when it comes to Halloween, we always hear the same kind of music. We you know, they play a song, they did the mash, they did the monster mash. You got the monster mash by Bobby Boris Pickett, or I mean, there's just a variety of things that you hear a lot on Halloween, certain songs. Like if it's a rock station, you're gonna hear Godzilla, right? Don't fear the Reaper, both by the way, excellent songs by Blue Oyster Cole. Maybe Welcome to My Nightmare. I don't know, I don't really hear that being played on the radio anymore. Alice Cooper. We're Wolves of London, huh? Warren Z Von. By the way, I love Warren Z-Von. Rest in peace. He had so many great songs besides We're Wolves of London, but that certainly is a classic. So I thought it might be kind of fun today to um uncover some other Halloween songs that maybe you've not heard. There's all kinds of I was just what was I just thinking of? You know I like there's some I was gonna go old school, but uh but there's a band called Deadbolt. Deadbolt does some good Halloween stuff. I just like the sound, and they're kind of a I don't know, they play some kind of Halloween type of songs that I like. I like this is called truck drive an SOB, though. I don't know how scary that is, but I like this one. But they got songs Scare Me. It's called Scare Me. They got one called Voodoo Billy Man. I like that.

SPEAKER_08:

And anywho. You last night on the show we were talking about the fact that hamburger helper. Remember, remember hamburger helper? It is surging in popularity because people think that somehow you should buy the hamburger helper because they think that maybe that saves money because inflation's out of control. It's been out of control for a long time. And people are trying to, you know, they're they think they're cutting corners, but one of the things we did talk about on the show last night was, you know, hamburger helpers nothing against it. That's old school. But it's not really gonna save you money or be as healthy as if you do something yourself or you buy it, you put it together yourself. And then I forget about the fact that some people don't know how to cook. And then one thing led to another as we're talking about the resurgence of the popularity of hamburger helper. You know what else too? Spam. Spam is making a big comeback. In the midst of this, Scott Robinson, who uh joined me on the show last night from Beyond the Humidor. He and Gary Dietrich, our political analysts, both of them are my friends, said, but you know what? Hamburger helper was good, but don't give me tuna helper. Remember that back in the day you get the tuna helper.

SPEAKER_08:

October 10th, 1982. That's when that show, that's when that show aired. Also, from Ken, and Ken, as I as I told Ken as in reply to this, this is something I try to forget about, but it's out there and it always pops up. Why? Because number one, it's ridiculous and silly. But mainly because the reason I see it is because I'm a Rams fan. And so everyone wants to always send this to me. So from 1986, one of the most embarrassing things that the Rams have ever done, other than draft well, there's a couple of people, Tony Banks and Lawrence Phillips. Here is the horrible playing off the Chicago Bears uh Super Bowl shuffle. The Rams doing the hideous song Ram It.

SPEAKER_11:

Put another button if we hit a ram it, you see. If you ram it that's right, you can ram it all night. Oh, ram it, ram it.

Let's ram it right now with Jackie Splater. Nolan Cromwell. If you're power, it's gonna be raped. I like to ram it because you can see nobody likes ramming anymore. Oh god, that's so embarrassing.

SPEAKER_08:

Nobody likes ramming it more than me. Women always told me that I looked like Nolan Cromwell when I was a bad eight.
