Ever wondered what happens when you mix a rainy November day, a cozy studio, and a hint of musical chaos? Well, grab your favorite hot beverage and tune in as I share a behind-the-scenes peek into my hectic life, complete with a dash of humor. From new listeners like Mike finding their way to my Pat WalshShow to the joy of connecting through music, this episode promises a light-hearted escape from the usual grind. And, trust me, we’re steering far from politics today—because who doesn’t need a little break from that?

Prepare to chuckle as we take a whimsical tour through some of the most hilariously bad tracks and B-sides ever recorded. Remember Terry Jacks’ "Seasons in the Sun"? Well, you might not want to remember its bizarre B-side, "Put the Bone In," but we're going there anyway! We’ll also spotlight the Shaggs, the band that redefined ‘so bad it’s good’ with their unintentional brilliance. Frank Zappa himself couldn't look away, and neither will you. Get ready for snippets and stories that prove even the most awkward tunes can find a special place in our hearts.

And if you think that’s all, hold on tight for a rollercoaster of quirky preacher moments and musical mash-ups that might just make your ears tingle. From surreal church singer and Yoko Ono pairings to the unsettling world of "Playground In My Mind," there’s plenty to laugh about. We’ll even revisit a treasured album I received from my mother, reminiscing about musical gifts and goofing off with timeless classics. So, plug in, relax, and join me on a joyful journey through life's quirks and melodies on the Pats Peeps Podcast.

Picture this: a drizzly afternoon in the foothills of Northern California, the perfect setting for a cozy gathering with your favorite tunes. I'm Pat, your host of Pat's Peeps Podcast, and today, we're diving into the nostalgic world of music that comforts us through life's ups and downs. We start with the soulful blues of Snowy White, a gem I stumbled upon during an unforgettable trip to Italy. We'll also honor the genius of Warren Zevon by shining a spotlight on his overlooked song (B-Side) "Factory"—songs that deserve a listen despite being the "flip-side."

Prepare to be whisked away to the golden age of vinyl records, where the thrill of B-sides like Boston's "Smokin'" awaits. Ever wondered about the magic behind a song that dethroned The Beatles' "Come Together"? It's all about the unexpected hits, and we've got the stories to prove it. Join me as we visit the vibrant jukebox halls of yesteryear, exploring how music weaves into the fabric of our memories and emotions. Grab your harmonica, and let's celebrate the timeless connection between classic rock and the stories we've lived through its soundtrack.

As the crisp autumn air settles over Northern California's Gold Country, join me for episode 162 of the Pat's Peeps Podcast, where the hues of fall inspire both reflection and anticipation. Ever wondered how to create a defensible space around your home with burn days? Let me share some hands-on autumn tips while I introduce a new segment, "Sunday Funnies," reviving the classic charm of Sunday comic strips, now in audio form. Feel the nostalgia of the once-hearty newspaper sections and the shifting tides of local news as I dive into the highlights of NFL week 11, including the San Francisco 49ers' bruising encounter with the Seattle Seahawks, and the excitement surrounding an upcoming Rams vs. 49ers face-off.

I was thrilled to have Dick Marshall join me, as we journeyed back to the days of the Yolo County 4-H Report. Dick's stories are a delightful mix of tractor-driving adventures and local fundraisers, painting a vivid picture of his early reporting days. Although he humorously sidesteps the suggestion to resurrect his iconic 4-H Ag Report, we celebrate his enduring community service through the Rotary Club and its vital scholarship program. Stay tuned for some nostalgic fun as I tease a future dive into old-school infomercials, like the legendary Ginsu steak knife.

Our musical exploration takes a disco twist with the Bee Gees' iconic hit "Night Fever," a cornerstone of the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack.

While we examine the lesser-known B-side track "Down the Road," we appreciate how "Night Fever's" success overshadowed its counterpart.
