Well hello there. How are you? Welcome back to the Pat's Peeps podcast. We're number 374. My name is Pat. That's why it's Pat's Peeps. Happy Thursday to you. December 18th, 2025. And as I look out my studio window into the beautiful foothills of Northern California, it's a beautiful day. Yesterday, like we were in the middle of a cloud, like I told you. Today, man, back to the sunshine. It could not be nicer, but I believe this is the calm before the storm, as they say, because I think the storm's rolling in. I don't know which day, but it's I think it's going to be for like eight days, at least eight days of rain is the rumors that I've been here. Rumors that have been spreading around. We can use the water. Anyhow. Hope you're doing very well, whatever you are doing today. Hope you're doing well and you're you're healthy and all of that stuff. And uh almost ready for Christmas. We are one week away, right? One week away from uh from the actual Christmas day. And I've got a little I've got a few things I still have to do. Maybe the tomorrow and over the weekend, and then I think I'll be pretty much set. No biggie. Uh by the way, my name is Pat Walsh. I'm the host of the Pat Walsh radio show. KFBK News Radio, 93.1 FM, 1530 a.m. And last night, I tell you, I had uh Santa Claus on my show. And we had a great conversation. You know, we have Santa on every year. And Santa is there to answer to uh talk to kids. Kids can call up and talk to Santa Claus. Who else does that? No one is the answer. You're not gonna get Santa on a talk show and have kids call up. But we do, and then over the years we begin to uh you know invite adults to call in and uh if they've got questions for Santa. Because, you know, there's there's you know, Santa's a mysterious guy. I mean, how does Santa go to all these homes in one evening? Now, these are some of the things you'd you'd probably had to listen to my show last night to to hear, but those are the kind of things those very though well, though when you get really down to the nitty-gritty things like that, he can't divulge any of that. Those are secrets. But he's all he's an open book when it comes to last night. He comes in. I mean, I'm a Celtics fan. Santa comes in, he's wearing a a Laker jersey, but he's also a Dodger and Ram fan. He said that on the air. I'm not making this up. I couldn't believe it. Anyhow, then he's dancing around the studio, but at one point he said something about a crystal ball, and I'm telling you, it isn't very often that I lose it on my show laughing. I I burst out laughing so hard, I lost control, and then then at some point, because it took me a little bit, I don't know how long I was laughing off mic, but then Santa Santa burst out laughing too. So those of you who heard that, you know, I mean, that hey, it happened. Like, God, it was so fun. It was just special having Santa Claus in last night. So, anyhow, if you'd listened to my radio show, that would make me happy as well. But I'm just so glad you're listening to the Pat's Peeps podcast. Like I said, here we are at 374 podcasts.

SPEAKER_05: 3:52

Yes, I don't feel right. Cars keep coming with them, smiling faces, the chair at the table, taking up spaces. Used to fill this house with a warmth sound. Now it's just me walking around. Radio plays those songs we used to know. December without you cuts deeper than the snow. Everyone together somewhere war. I'm here alone, riding out the storm, tryna smile, tryna pretend. But December just reminds me how it ends. December without you feels too long. Every carrot, just another sad song. Memory wrapped up like gifts, I can't return. December without you, how much it burn?

An estimated 122.4 million people, more than a third of the entire national population will travel at least 50 miles from home this Christmas season.

SPEAKER_05: 6:27

Trying to move on, trying to let go. But December just won't let me go.

SPEAKER_07: 6:38

Now, there would be a good place to hide the boys' presents. Do we have to hide them? It's a surprise! They'll never expect to be getting presents from us. How about in the closet? No, that'll be the first place they'll look when they start snooping. What makes you think they'll snoop? Well, we snoop, don't we? Alright now. Just make sure the girls don't catch a hiding me. If they catch me, should I eat the present? Eat it! He's been watching too many old spy programs.

SPEAKER_00: 7:26

It is now 11:15 on this night before Christmas. We interrupt the music to bring you another bulletin on Santa Claus. Our Canadian tracking station has spotted his reindeer-powered sleigh zooming through the skies over Montreal and headed for New York. We'll keep you informed as further bulletins come in. And now back to Christmas music.

SPEAKER_04: 7:47

If I had one wish for Christmas this year, there'd be no more sorrow. There'd be no pain or tears. Every man would see What the Spirit Peace on earth love and joy Each one, teach one That way everybody'll reach one All the babies, every girl and boy must have a toy to play with. Oh, don't you have no one believing? Just for this one day now. Well then maybe the whole world just might know. Maybe we might find a way to make this feeling lag.

SPEAKER_09: 9:55

You know, speaking of music, Pentatonics collaborated with the estates of the late Frank Sinatra for a holiday duet called I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm, featured on the album Christmas in the City. This made news this week. This is a virtual collaboration featuring newly recorded vocals from the a cappella group alongside the original. The a cappella group Pentatonics. And so that's along the original unreleased vocals from Frank Sinatra. And the track showing again the popularity of Frank, and apparently pentatonics, has become number one on Billboard's adult contemporary chart here in 2025. And here it is for ya. I've got my love to keep you warm, Pat Peeps. 374.

SPEAKER_10: 12:20

That a fact. Hey, hey, get out of it. Stop. Oh. Oh, don't worry about it, Clark. Little tree water ain't gonna hurt him. Before we left, he drank a half a quart of pens oil. Boy, but he lifted his leg the next morning.

SPEAKER_08: 12:34

Oh Eddie, if he drinks the water out of there, the tree's gonna dry up. Come on, out of there.

SPEAKER_10: 12:40

Stop! Ow, ow, ow. Get out of there. Get in the kitchen now. Get in the kitchen there and get you something to eat. He's cute, ain't he? Only problem is he's got a little bit of Mississippi leg hound in him. If the mood catches him right, he'll grab your leg and just go to town. You don't want him around if you're wearing short pants, if you know what I mean. A word of warning, though, if he does lay in to you, it's best to just let him finish.

SPEAKER_08: 13:10

Just can't believe you're actually standing here in my living room, Eddie. Never thought the day would come.

SPEAKER_10: 13:16

Yeah, I'm excited about it too. It's a crying shame the older kids couldn't make it. Yeah, I got the daughter in the clinic getting cured off the wild turkey. And the older boy, bless his soul, is preparing for his career. College? Carnival.

Oil is leaking out all over. I'm not sure, but I think the engine block is cracked. For those of us who don't read clutch and break, what does that mean? Means we're stuck here until we find a garage.

Listen, once upon a time about 25 years ago, there was this groovy dude, and his name was Santa Claus, you know? And he used to live over in the projects with his old lady.

They really needed to come into town maybe once a year or something like that. They got the welfare check and the food stack. Yeah, man. No, no, what they did, man, is once a year, when they made all the goodies, you know. They used to put them in a big chopping bag, and then they used to take a chopping bag and deliver 'em to all the boys and girls all the way around the world, man. Oh, yeah, they were really nice people. They used to deliver the toys, you know. It's like Santa Claus used to have this really sharp short man, you know. It was lowered to the ground at twice pipes, candy up a red, but that sounds like a hip snowmobile. No, no, it wasn't a snowmobile, it was a sled, you know? One of those big sleds, you know? And he used to have it pulled by some reindeers, you know, like reindeers. Some reindeers, you know. Used to hook them onto the sled, and then he used to stand up inside the sled and hold on to the reins, and then call out their names, like on Don Rome Bliss, and on Chewy on Tavo, come on, Bertho! And then the reindeers used to take off into the sky and fly across the sky, man. Yeah. And then when they fly across the sky, they used to come down to places like old Chicago, LA, Nova York, Pacoima, and all those places, you know, and then land on top of people's roofs, and then old Santa Claus would make himself real small, you know, like a real small guy, and he'd come down the chimney, and then he would give you all the stuff that he made, man. And do this, man. He did it all in one night, man. And then, man, he went down south, man, and they tried to cut off his hair and his beard, man.
