You and your family have had such a nice Christmas. I mean, it has just been I mean, just wonderful. Just to just to be completely honest. Um, and I do want to share, I can't share the whole thing and divulge it, but the year couldn't have ended any better. You know, we're coming up on the new year, and uh what I had a dinner at Ruth Christ's Steakhouse the other night with a client. And suffice it to say, coming up in the very near the new year, Pat's Peeps is gonna be bigger than ever. Oh my gosh, I cannot wait to share what we're about to do. It is super exciting. It's the biggest day, probably, ever in uh for me in my new business. And I I promise you, one way or another, I'm gonna get you to support my local businesses. I can't wait to do this. I cannot wait. So, all right, so just letting you know that's gonna happen. Right as the new year begins. It's very thrilling for me. Stay tuned for my radio show when I tell you all about it, and of course, here on my podcast. By the way, saying hi today, making his first appearance ever on the show. Yes, it's the Yodeling Pickle. There you go. Yes, the Yodling Pickle. Here at Pat's Peeps. That's right. I love this little guy. He's very entertaining. Ah, yeah. Very entertaining. Speaking of Pat's peeps, thank you. Thank you, Yodeling Pickle. Everyone's the Yodeling Pickle. Come on now. Beautiful. Brings a tear to my eye. In a good way. Not in a bad way, but in a good way. So uh you know what's kind of a trip is I've been spending some time in of all places, Rush Limbaugh's favorite place, Rio Linda. That's right. That's right. I'm doing some business over there. I got some things happening in Rio Linda. Howdy, Rio Linda. We're gonna put you, you know, Rush put you on the map for one reason. I'm gonna put you on the map for another reason. That's a good community over there. Like really down-to-earth people. Rio Linda. Salute! If you're not from the area, Rush Limbaugh made this very popular on his show. He'd poke at a little bit. It is different than many other communities around the area. But you know what? Down-to-earth folks. And so the other night, happened into a little bar. It used to be called Lou's Place. Or Lou's. Or Lou's Place, one of the two. And it just looked Christmassy. So I roll on into this place, which is now called Iris' Place. Due to the fact that this beautiful lady by the name of Iris owned it for many years. She passed away. Rest in peace. What a family. So I go into I go into the joint. See, over there in Rio Linda, right? And Gail says to the bartender. So the bartender's there, you know, and it's it's so decorated, so cool. It's just so cool inside, this place. So Christmas, like this Christmas den. They really went out of the way to make it nice. Gail says to the bartender who's not too happy at this moment because he got called in on Christmas Eve. It was raining. How about this weather? My lord! The lightning and the thunder and uh extreme rain and wind. Sounds like a tornado almost coming through here. If you're in this area, man. Woo! If we've seen flooding, thinking about those people who are being flooded. At least it didn't flood here, but the the weather was crazy. Anyhow, guys up there, he gets called in on Christmas Eve, the bar owner. And uh now he's got to go up. I guess there's a leak in a roof. Poor guy. So you guys Christmas Eve wants to be home with his wife and his kids, of course. But he's got a uh a leak in his roof. So he's got to be, so they call him, he's got to come in and fix it. Now he's kind of done, I re I guess. Now he's back at a bar, and uh Gail says to him, Hey, you ought to be a Pat's peep. And without hesitation, now there's like three or four other dudes sitting at the right side of us, to the to the right at the end of the bar. But without hesitation, the bartender slash owner of the joint, as soon as she says, You ought to be a Pat's peeps, I am a Pat's peeps. And she's like, What? And I'm thinking, What? Huh? Really? That's what I'm thinking, I haven't said anything, but really did he just say I wonder if he's kidding. She goes, wait a minute, you are? Yeah, yes, I am. Are you talking about Pat Walsh? Pat's peeps? True story. You know, they're conversing back and forth, and uh she's like, Yeah, you know, the business, the Pat's peeps. Didn't even say my show. She said my Pat's peeps business. How proud I am of that. Well, I'd be proud of someone mentioning my show, too, of course. But this is a business of my own that's been going for what, just a couple of years now. Anyhow. The guy goes, You dame right. I'm a I'm a Pat's peeps. I'm not really a business just yet. I'm going to be. But man, I I love that guy's show. And she points at me and goes, Pat Walsh. Now, I'm a very humble guy. I'm a very humble guy. Anyone that knows me, any of you that know me, I promise you, I I'm humble. I never tell people, hey, yell I'm Pat Walsh, either, you know, whatever. But it's okay when someone else does it. You know, sometimes they're like, hey, I want to tell them that, you know, maybe they know you. Maybe they want to promote your business or say, yeah, there's a Pat on the radio. I've come, I've learned to think that that's okay, and it's it makes me feel good. And I thank anyone who does that. I thank you. But when she said that, the guy goes, No, no, no, you ain't Pat Walsh. I swear. I I couldn't believe the reaction. No, you aren't Pat Walsh. I go, and she's like, Yeah, he's Pat Walsh. No, he isn't. That's not Pat Walsh. I start laughing. He goes, You aren't Pat Walsh. Really? I honest to God. I'm like, yeah. He's like, no, you aren't. Come on. Are you kidding me? I'm like, no. I mean, he made me feel like some kind of celebrity. I'm like, yes. Like Pat's peeps. You mean like the and the Pat Walsh show? Like. So he wouldn't believe me. I literally had to show him my ID. Because they don't card me anymore. You know when I go to the bar. I don't look it wouldn't look as youthful as I used to, apparently. And he still can't believe it. And he goes, so here comes his wife and kids. He's like, Honey, come here, come here for a minute. And she comes in. And he's like, Honey, what did I say about Pat Walsh and Pat's beans? And she says, Oh, yeah, we were talking about this last night. She still didn't, she didn't know it was me yet. Yeah, we were well, when we were driving last night, you told me, shh, when the Pat Walsh show came up. Because you was mentioning Rio Linda. And he's like, Shh, hold on. I listen to this guy every night. And I'm sitting here listening to all this. Can you believe it? I couldn't believe it. Christmas Eve making me feel so good. And they still don't believe it. And then he goes, Well, this is Pat Walsh. She's like, What? Seriously? Now she starts doing it. She goes, Oh, just last night. Anytime I'm in his car, he's like, shh, Pat Walsh is on. I couldn't believe it. And now the three dudes at the end of the bar are all listeners. And now they're all listening to me. And they're telling me, and now they're bringing up all of this stuff for my show. I gotta tell you, to all those people in that bar, then we met other people in there. It was really a fun, extraordinarily fun, and uh I don't know, just I was proud. I don't know, it felt nice. What can I tell you? You know, people knew my podcast and my show. And and they and we're so excited. And he went on and on throughout the night, like we took pictures together. I'll post some of these. He's like, I can't believe it. He kept coming over. One old boy over there at the end, man. He fist bumping me all night. Every sentence, fist bump, fist bump, fist bump. Hello, John. It was quite the reaction, and it just, I don't know how to say it. I don't know how to say it. Maybe this, maybe this sums up my feelings on that night the best. You know, why can't people be you know, you notice now that could have happened maybe any time a year you walk into an establishment and they just happen to listen to you. That's really cool. But do you ever notice, and maybe I mean, I certainly th maybe it's just in my mind, but I think I notice it. During Christmas, people were so much kinder to one another. We're more kinder and gentler. It seems like you know, we're not I don't know, maybe I'm not jamming up in all the grocery or the uh the big stores and trying to fight for stuff. I don't know if that's even going on. I don't know. But uh but I see people being nicer during the holidays, during Christmas, more courteous. And I'm sure I'm not talking about everyone, but I it just seems to be a sort of a prevailing feeling of more kindness, whatever. How come we can't be that the like that the whole year is my question. If somehow we can you know muster up enough kindness to display that during Christmas, how why not the rest of the year? Why are we why do why do we both tend to be a little less kinder and gentler during the rest of the years? You know, is it because it's hot in the summer? You're like, ah yeah, whatever. I'm hot, leave me alone. Or is it just the season to be jolly? Is it the season to be merry? Do people just expect you to be merrier? And nicer? I don't know what it is. Whatever it is, I wish people would expect that more. Wherever you are, by the way, again, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family, with your friends. This is gonna be a great year for so many reasons. I don't know, I can just feel it. This past year's been a great year, but things are gonna get even better in 2026. And I look forward to it. As for today, I have a post-Christmas dinner that I must attend, and I'm running a bit short on time. So I'm gonna wrap today's Pat's Peeps podcast number 376. I'm gonna wrap it up by uh playing this music that I just pulled from my record shelf, my rare 45 collection, as I always tell you about. Um this record here, man, this this label, boy, this one seemingly goes way back. Pull it out of the sleeve here. Hold on a second. This is on Montel. The Montel label. This may be the first time that I've had a record on the Montel label. It's a white white label. It's got black where it says Montel. Um it's got one that says 1964. And that's on put on there by the radio station. Radio station already wrote also wrote, excuse me, 3558. They have another yellow sticker on that says 954. They actually took some kind of an orange pen and circle the A-side, the title. There's another huge felt mark on it, it says 3558. So that's on there twice in case they didn't see it the first time. Also says not for sale. And that's just on one side. The other side, no stickers, it just says 3558 for the third time. Let's see. Promotional copy. So this is an American singing duo. They had two billboard chart hits. The first was the number one gold record. I'm leaving it up to you. Remember that one? You know, I remember doing that, Marie Osman, like in the 70s, leaving it all up to you. That was in 1963. And then this song, which went to number eight in 1964. Uh, this duo broke up in 1965, and that's the end of this duo. Very short-lived. But they did reunite on stage several times. Uh, their recordings are highly regarded examples of the Louisiana, Texas style known as swamp pop. It's a male and female. The male born in Covington County, Mississippi. Uh, the female part of this duo. The other artist was born in Prairieville, Louisiana. So I'm gonna throw her on the old turntable. This is the yay side. This is Dale and Grace. It's a song from 1964. It's called Stop and Think It Over.

SPEAKER_01: 18:07

We've got to stop and think it over.

SPEAKER_03: 18:18

We're in love.

SPEAKER_01: 18:23

We write for each other. We got to stop.

SPEAKER_00: 19:29

The popular and the Beatles combined with personal problems between the duo was the reason for their breakup. It's Dale and Grace, Dale and Grace, Dale Houston, Grace Broussard. We'll leave it right there. I don't know the right to these. I'm just trying to inform, entertain, and uh educate. Those are the things I say because it's true. And I don't want to get anybody get mad at me. But let's flip that one over! I think this might be a cool I don't know. I've never heard it. Maybe I have, but I just don't know. It just seems like it might be kind of a cool tune. Like some of these should be on a jukebox. This kind of music to me should be on an old school jukebox. Or like in a real gritty movie, like a Quentin Tarantino, some kind of a cool movie. I just feel like this song would be. And again, having I don't believe I've listened to it. Flip it over, it's called This Dale and Grace. On Pat's peeps 376, this one called Bad Luck. Let's listen together.

SPEAKER_03: 21:08

Jump in my car, I'm ready to go. The motors froze up and the car won't go. Better luck. My company I guess the lady love. Turned her back on me. Saturday night, who didn't love his life. Just looking at the loving button. Go insane.
