Welcome to the Pat's Beach Podcast. Back in business on a Wednesday. It's a Wednesday. How are you? December the 10th, 2025. It's a beautiful day depending on where you are as I look out my studio windows into the beautiful foothills of Northern California. It's gorgeous. Yeah, another one of those days where uh we're above the fog and the the skies are blue. So if you're listening to me down in the lowlands, down in the foggy areas, I hope you're enjoying that. What has it been like three weeks with no sunshine? But up here, just beautiful, beautiful weather up in the up in the gorgeous foothills. Anyhow, wherever you're listening, I do appreciate you doing that. By the way, my name is Pat Walsh. I am the host of the Pat Walsh Show. Radio show heard on KFPK News Radio 93.1 FM, 1530 a.m. I kind of lose my voice a little bit. It's not too bad today, but I don't know, I'm not sure. Not sure. It's teetering. And um again, like I say, 371. Hopefully I'll be able to make it through this podcast. Um, are you getting ready? Are you are you all ready for Christmas? So getting ready for Christmas. Have you done your shopping? I have only bought one thing online. I plan on shopping local. I will be doing my please support local if you go to pathpeeps.com. You know we always support local. So please check out businesses there. Uh we've signed up five businesses this week. I mentioned that yesterday. So I'm very excited about that. Um you know, today I thought, just keeping in that holiday spirit, keeping things light, that uh, you know, we would do some some fun stuff, including some listener content. I've got some great stuff here that I'd like to share with you. From a variety of different folks. I always enjoy doing that because you guys always send me interesting things. And uh so with that in mind, I have plucked a few of them from my from the uh content that you've sent to me. Also, I missed a birthday yesterday. I hated the fact that I always do the birthday board on my radio show. If there's a s a uh an artist, a musician that's celebrating a birthday that day, I play their music as a bumper song because again, music is a universal language no matter for the most part, no matter what your politics are. So I'll get to that birthday here. And we will mix it up with some, like I say, listener content. By the way, on my show, we're also doing sound bites of the year. So if you tune in tonight, we'll continue with the sound bites of the year and with our uh Christmas content that we've been doing. So I'm gonna play some of this. First one comes from Gail. Actually, Gail sent me a few really good ones. So I'm gonna start with this one here on Pat's Peeps 371. Without further ado, rest my voice for a moment. This is really cool. This is Um, this is a song for non blondes. What's up? But it's done by this guy, Vin Hetiro. Whatever, I can't, I don't know, that's how he said, but for non blondes, what's up? But he does this on rubber chickens. Please enjoy rubber chickens. That is very clever. Thank you very much. Gail, who sent me a couple of other really interesting things. So I'm gonna share those as well. How about this guy, Lamont Landers? We all know the song Rocket Man, right? I tell you if this dude's singing and creating this based off of Elton John's Rocket Man, then I gotta hand it to him. Initially I thought, wow, it's what if Rocket Man by Elton John was classic soul. I thought, please tell me it's not AI. I don't think it is. Check it out.

SPEAKER_06: 6:36

It's my wife.

SPEAKER_08: 6:39

I don't know, man.

SPEAKER_06: 6:41

It's the only out its me. Let's fly. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it's gonna be a long time. Not the man that think I am at home. Oh no no rocket man, but it's too long. I'm not the man that think I am at home.

SPEAKER_08: 7:36

This is why uh Rocket Man running down the spuse out of the heal. This guy's like uh, I don't know, looks like maybe maybe a 20-year-old white kid with red hair.

SPEAKER_06: 7:47

Is he really singing this? Apple Music. Anywhere you listen to music, it means the world to me.

SPEAKER_08: 7:57

Wow. Alright. Alright. Let's see. What uh she sent me one more. Gail sent me another really good one. Oh, here you go. This dude here, he he knows his music. You can tell when someone knows their music. Mr. Cutz? Is this Mr.

SPEAKER_12: 8:17

Here you go? New music's cool, but have you ever heard old music? Welcome to Old Music Friday. Have you ever heard Jealous Guy by Donnie Hathaway? Great song, by the way. Oh my god, shut up. The groove is so laid back. I nearly fell off my chair. Are you stupid? You can't start a song like that. I'm almost falling off the planet. I nearly fell off the edge of the earth. Every single instrument is crying. The band is just marching together.

SPEAKER_02: 9:01

I was dreaming of the pay.

SPEAKER_12: 9:07

Donnie, the vocal though. This song was written by John Lennon and covered by Donnie Hathaway. And it didn't need to hurt you. This is Michelin Star business. Can't get a table at the restaurant for six months business. This is cues around the block business. Donnie said, Oh you like chicken? Well, here is a free-range organic chicken raised on Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Quincy Jones, Errol Garner, and Ramsay Lewis. He knows us. A Bud of the Beatles seasoned with Ray Charles and Curtis Mayfield with a Roberta Flak Zhu and sauteed staple singers. Are you stupid? This is Top Top Echelon.

SPEAKER_08: 9:54

I can talk music with this guy all day, ever.

SPEAKER_02: 9:58

I was feeling insecure.

SPEAKER_12: 10:02

Are you dumb? Donnie said he picked this song to cover because it matched his spirit. It's vulnerable, honest, it's a confession. Donnie said that he chose songs to cover that he could emotionally inhabit. Inhabit, you know. Donnie didn't just inhabit this song. Donnie Fuller moved into this song. Donnie was arranging furniture in this song. Donnie was designing the walking wardrobes to this song. I'm gonna ruin the ending for you. Check this out. It was live! It was live! What are you talking about? It was live. Just pure pocket. I don't think you understand how in your bag you have to be to do that live. And I'm not talking about it was recorded in one take at a studio live. I'm talking in front of an audience live. Imagine you were there. Luckily enough, someone recorded it. We should count our blessings we can listen to that. We should thank our lucky stars that we could listen to that. We are so privileged to be able to listen to that recording. Now I wasn't even born, but that recording has transported me into that club where those guys picked up those instruments and they channeled something and they said, Yeah, we get this song, we understand it.

SPEAKER_08: 11:15

Owen Guts on Instagram. Very nice. I love his knowledge of music. Gail, nice videos, thank you so much for sending those in. Let's go to our friend Patty, and by the way, Patty, if you are listening, I hope you're doing well. Amisha, be calling you soon, we're gonna have to catch up, okay? But Patty sends me sends me some good content all the time. And I am very I'm particularly fond of Andy Griffith. So from Patty, I thought we'd play this today. Share a little Andy Griffith with you. Did you know this about the Andy Griffith Show 1960?

SPEAKER_07: 12:02

Here we go. Did you know this about the Andy Griffith Show 1960? 1. The series ran for eight seasons and 249 episodes, nearly three times longer than the average 1960s sitcom, which rarely surpassed 8,100 episodes. 2. Despite Andy Griffith being the star, Don Knott's won five Emmys, more than every other cast member combined. 3. Knott's appears in only half the series episodes, yet his episodes consistently rank 20-30% higher in audience surveys than those without Barney Fife. 4. Ron Howard was just six years old when cast, yet appears in nearly 200 episodes, far more than most child actors who averaged 40-60 episodes in 60 sitcoms. 5. Although filmed in the 1960s, the show was set in a fictional 1930s-40 S style town, making its timeline 20-30 years behind contemporary America. 6. Andy Griffith refused to let the show include a laugh track in outdoor scenes, cutting its total laugh track usage by over 50% compared to other multicamera sitcoms of the decade. 7. The production used two sound stages and one real outdoor set, far fewer than the five. Seven locations used by most 1960s comedies. Eight. Mayberry featured a recurring cast of over 40 townspeople, nearly double the size of typical sitcom ensembles.

SPEAKER_08: 13:18

Thank you, Patty. I love the Andy Griffith Show. That is my favorite show of all time. And yeah, those are some great little factoids from the Andy Griffith Show. Thank you, Patty, and again I hope you're doing better. As we continue on with the Pat's Peeps 371 listener content. Steve sends us a lot of good stuff as well. I think this one is really awesome. If you think back to let's say Peter Frampton, do you feel like we do? If you think back to Joe Walsh, Rocky Mountain Way, if you think back to Hair of the Dog by Nazareth, there are songs that are well-known songs that use the talk box where you would incorporate that with a guitar, and the guitar player would uh be mouthing the words through a tube, and you would hear his voice essentially sort of coming through the guitar. So Steve sends me this thing. This is from Dime Store Radio from Steve. This is Pete Drake who invented the talking guitar, Pat's Peeps 378.

SPEAKER_13: 14:28

I refer to him as Pete Drake and his talking guitar. And I want to get him to do something for you. And he ready, Pete? Y'all wired up and everything?

SPEAKER_05: 14:39

I am just like he was born in the early nineteen thirties.

SPEAKER_08: 15:28

Invented the invented the talking and song. Incredible pedal and steel guitar player.

SPEAKER_13: 16:10

And this does not have anything to do with the vocal cord, doesn't hurt anything, right? Mm-hmm. I see. I'll tell you what I'd like to get you do, please. Could you do me something? Uh make it say something like uh uh don't go away, uh folks, or we'll be back with more of the well, you know who show.

SPEAKER_08: 16:30

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_13: 16:32

Alright.

SPEAKER_05: 16:34

Don't go away, folks. We'll be right back.

SPEAKER_08: 16:46

Wow. Jimmy Dean. That was awesome. Ralph sent me this. This is going way back to 2005. You know, there's all the controversy about immigration right now. Well, Donald Trump, he's he should be letting everyone into the country. Here is Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in the early 2000s discussing that very topic. Immigration. Thank you, Ralph.

SPEAKER_01: 17:11

Do not want to do anything to encourage more illegal immigration into this country. We know now that too many people come in for medical care as it is. We certainly don't want them having the same benefits that uh American citizens uh are entitled to have.

SPEAKER_00: 17:27

We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked, and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently, and lawfully uh to become immigrants in this country.

SPEAKER_08: 17:43

That's from Ralph. Ralph, thank you. Appreciate that. We'll be back right after this break.

SPEAKER_09: 17:58

Now circle right and listen to me. Elvis, Ellis, MFT. Elemental corners like swinging on the gate. The right to honey with a right left eight. Run right left around you go. Lucky strike means find back goal. Meet your honey and give her a whirl. All swing around with a little girl. Smoke em, smoke em. Then you see Elvis, Elvis, MFT.

SPEAKER_08: 18:24

SPEAKER_13: 21:05

Four quadrants, yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 21:06

SPEAKER_13: 21:07

SPEAKER_01: 21:08

I that's what they teach you in school.

SPEAKER_13: 21:11

You know what? You're right.

SPEAKER_01: 21:13

I don't see the issue.

SPEAKER_13: 21:14

Oh, you're right. You're fine.

SPEAKER_08: 22:25

Listener content from Eileen. This is a good one, Eileen. I may do this one on my radio show. Eileen sent me this. Self-checkouts may save time at the store, but a growing number of shoppers admit that they've also used it to steal. Among Americans who've used self-checkout, 27% that they have in uh say they have intentionally taken an item without scanning it. That's up from 15% in 2023, according to a recent lending tree survey. Millennials, 41%. Gen Z adults, 37%, the most likely to at least admit to stealing at self-checkout, while only 2% of baby boomers said the same. As far as the agenders, men, 38% more than twice as likely as women at 16% to say that they have stolen something through the checkout line while they're using this the self-checkout scanner. Eileen, that's very good. Shauna sent this one to me. Shauna sent a couple who was on the newlywed game 48 years ago talking about that experience.

SPEAKER_11: 23:48

This was that question about the steak, remember, Jerry? Oh yeah. It would have to be the first meal she ever cooked for me, and it was steak. You invited me over for dinner and you cooked me a steak.

SPEAKER_14: 24:00

You ate it, and I said, Did you like it? And you go, yes, it was great. Until maybe two or three weeks later, you go, That steak was frozen on the inside. He does all the grilling of the meat now. All right. Hi, I'm Jerry. I'm Mike. And we have been married for 47 years.

SPEAKER_10: 24:25

She told me she was gonna sign us up to go on the newlywed game. Back in the 70s. And I said, don't do that. I don't want to do that. She went ahead and signed us up anyway, and it ended up being real fun. And all these years later, it kind of had a new life of its own. Yes. Oh my goodness. Really, it went viral. Would think that, you know, there would be that much interest in a couple that's, you know, in their 70s. We're complete opposite. Opposite. She is outgoing, she's a people person, she's uh into fashion. Marrying somebody who is an opposite of you, it opens new doors for you. Prior to meeting her, I never went to uh nightclubs, fancy dinners, things like that.

SPEAKER_14: 25:17

I learned to love camping, rock and roll, concert through Sprinski, and I learned it all from Michael.

SPEAKER_08: 25:26

Ah, that's pretty good. Hey, I told you I missed a birthday yesterday. Yesterday, Donnie Osmond turned 68 years old. Little Donnie Osmond, who we used to watch on Andy Williams, all the Christmas specials. Remember that? He'd always be on all the TV shows, Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin, you name it. Had his own show, Donnie Marie, but of course was part of the Osmonds, who were hugely popular. He was a teen idol. The Osmonds. He and his elder brothers, they had several top ten hits and several gold albums in the early 70s before Donnie began his solo career. Where he earned several additional top ten songs. He was on other kind of shows like you know, later Dancing with the Stars and you know, shows that I don't really watch, The Masked Singer and such. But he's still very relevant. You know, he he he failed to get an audition for Lawrence Welk. And their father drives the Osman brothers, Alan, Wayne, Merrill, and Jay, to Disneyland, where they performed for the Dapper Dance. It was as a barbershop quartet. So they were invited to appear on a program sponsored by Disneyland J. Emerson Williams, father of Andy Williams, saw them perform on the Disneyland television special Disneyland After Dark. The group was then invited to audition for the Andy Williams show. Williams initially had some reservations about featuring children on the program, but he was encouraged by his father to try them out. The Osmond brothers proved themselves as an asset to the program and became regulars on the show. They gained popularity from that. In 1963, Donnie Osmond made his debut on the show at the age of six. He sang, You Are My Sunshine. And then they continued to perform throughout the 60s into the 70s. So I'll finish the show with one of their big songs. At this time, they were rivaling with the Jackson 5. They had the same similar sound as the Jackson 5, and they had a really cool song, One Bad Apple. By the way, Crazy Horses had some really cool rock stuff on it, too. One Bad Apple by the Osmonds.

SPEAKER_03: 27:39

I can tell you've been hurt by that look on your face, girl. So God brought Sapphire to your happy world. You need love, but you'll free that if you give in. Someone else, go alone, suck it to your gear. One fat apple don't spoil a whole bunch, girl. One fat apple don't spoil a whole bunch, girl. I don't care what they say. I don't care what you I could make you happy, baby, satisfy you too five, yeah. How could I won't give me a chance to prove I love you? Would you just give me one more chance?

SPEAKER_08: 28:45

We'll send this one out. Send this one out to Lori. Don't call me Wolf Harder. She loves Donnie. Happy birthday, Donnie Osmond. Thank you all for listening. Pat's Peeps371. Have a great Wednesday. We'll see you on the radio.

SPEAKER_03: 29:14

I've been noticing you, baby, for a long, long time. I'm not ashamed. Tell the world that you really messed up my mind. Go to me, your life a dream come true. I'd rather hurt myself than ever hurt you. Oh, give it one more try before you give a full
