Join me as I take a walk to celebrate my mother's birthday amidst the golden hues of autumn, reflecting on the memories of loved ones no longer with us. We'll explore the beauty of the changing seasons, the importance of preventive health care, and what it's like finding trustworthy doctors in a post-pandemic world. Friendly encounters with neighbors and their furry companions serve as reminders of the community spirit that surrounds us, making this episode not just a journey through landscapes, but a journey through life’s important moments.
Switching gears, we take a closer look at the political climate one week removed from the election, where emotions run high and Trump's influence looms large. A chance meeting with a listener named Marnee reaffirms the power of community and connection. As I gear up for my next radio show, I share the fascinating history behind Terry Jacks' "Seasons in the Sun" and its intriguing Beach Boys connection. And for a touch of humor, we unravel the peculiar charm of the song "Put the Bone In"—a quirky track that never made it big. This episode promises a blend of heartfelt musings, music trivia, and a sprinkle of humor to keep you entertained.

You know how that is.
But today's my mom's birthdayand so I've been thinking about
her.
It's a gorgeous day on herbirthday.
I'll tell you what the sceneryaround me today on the 12th of
(01:05):
November, pat's Peeps Podcast160, it is so gorgeous, you know
, being fall, the trees, thehorses out here.
The trees are just beyond gold.
They're like oh, that isspectacular.
I'm going to take a picture.
(01:27):
You might hear the lady, my runclub, talk when I stop, but so
I've got my Nike run club thingon.
There she is.
I'm going to take a picture ofthis because people need to see
(01:49):
how cool this is, right here.
So I guess my podcast cuts outwhen I take a photo.
I'm back in the studio right nowlistening to me on the road
taking a photo and I waswondering about this Does my
podcast cut out when I stop totake a photo of these lovely
trees?
Clearly it is.
So this is a learning momenthere on Pat's Peeps 160.
(02:09):
Now, and I also learned thatyou can't really hear the Nike
Run Club lady telling me topause.
You know that we're pausing orresuming the workout.
I can hear it, but apparentlyno one else can hear it, so
that's something I just learned.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
I'm out here.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
There we go there, I am.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Walk here today because not only is it a
beautiful day, but I just had myphysical today.
Everyone get physicals.
You should get a physical oncea year, you know it should be
more about if we could in anyway possible.
I think Should be aboutpreventative instead of reacting
(02:56):
to disease.
Hi there, buddies, got the dogseverywhere.
Hi, hi there, you know, getyourself checked out once a year
.
Hi there, what you doing.
You know I'm going by myneighbor's house down here.
It's beautiful.
Up until about what day is it?
12?
(03:16):
So up until a week ago, Ibelieve.
It's been a week already sincethe election, been a week
already since the election.
Up until a week ago they hadthe kamala signs out.
They're gone now.
You know.
Hey, to each his own right.
Respect, as long as you vote,make your opinions known.
(03:39):
I mean, that's what I respect.
So I just got say I'm going totake a little pause here real
quick.
Hi there, buddy, I just want tosee the dogs for a second.
Hi there, you have a nice placethere.
You got a nice place.
How are you today?
You guys having fun out in thatbig beautiful yard?
(04:03):
Yeah, that's what I thought.
You guys having lucky out here,that big, beautiful yard.
Yeah, that's what I thought youguys having lucky out here in
the beautiful foothills.
It's so pretty Anyhow, I'mtalking to these dogs as if
they're humans, but it felt so Ihad to get the physical today
and my point is I would justencourage everyone to do the
same, get a physical once a year.
(04:25):
So many times I hear, yeah, youknow, I would just encourage
everyone to do the same, get aphysical once a year.
So many times I hear, yeah, youknow, I've had a physical in 20
years, 10 years.
I'm like, wow, same thing withlike colonoscopies and things.
I'm not trying to preach aboutit, I'm just saying you know,
you know there's maybe someanxiety, I guess before you go
(04:50):
in.
No one wants to find outanything horrible, obviously,
but heck, I could tell you onething God forbid if they did
find something out about you, atleast they could catch whatever
.
It was maybe early.
You know that's the benefitright of having a physical
(05:13):
consistently.
Every time I have to stop herefor a car that goes by, the lady
on my Nike run club is going togo pausing workout.
I've got to pause.
How my Nike run club is goingto go Pausing workout.
I've got to pause, I've got toso.
But the other part of that toconsider See, there she is
(05:34):
pausing workout.
Yeah, I know, I'm pausing theworkout.
The other part of that toconsider is, if you get a clean
bill of health, man, it makesyou feel so good, puts a spring
in your step, you know.
It's just a good feeling toknow that you really checked out
(05:56):
.
Okay, I did the full blood paneland everything.
Everything came out good.
I'm a little high incholesterol in one area, and
here's what this doctor said.
It's a new doctor, first timeI've ever heard.
Now she's going to say I'mstarting my workout again,
resuming workout, but I don'teven know if you're hearing that
.
(06:18):
So, anyhow, I had my doctor forover 22 years and I had my
doctor for over 22 years andthen when COVID came along, he
was so good that they kind ofpromoted him or he took a job as
for mercy or dignity, health orwhatever, for the sort of head
(06:41):
of COVID strategy or whatever,it was something like that.
And I got another doctor.
I didn't want to do that.
I felt very comfortable withthat doctor, but so I got
another doctor.
He turned out to be okay too.
Then he moved on.
So I was only with that doctorfor, let's say, oh on, so I was
(07:07):
only with that doctor for, let'ssay, oh well, let's see four
years, five years, I think.
So he moves on.
And so now I have a new doctorand it's a she.
Now I don't care if it's a heor she, as long as they're a
(07:29):
good doctor.
And I should turn this Nike appoff.
It's driving me crazy, anyhow.
Yeah, so there's some anxietybecause now it's a female doctor
For me as a guy.
You know, when you get aphysical, well, there's certain
(07:51):
things that need to be done.
You know they start strappingon those rubber gloves.
You hear that sound.
You're like, oh yeah, put theelbows on the table.
Yeah, well, I was dreading that, to be honest with you, or you
know what I'm saying, fellas.
(08:12):
There's that time during thephysical exam where they go, all
right, cough, and then, oh, yes, cough again.
I would have felt somewhatuncomfortable, if you get my
meaning.
So I go in first time.
(08:33):
She's very nice, never broughtthose concerns to her, I just
figure.
You know what I just got toroll with the flow.
She's the professional and Ineed to trust them and not be
such a big baby and not worryabout it.
Well, apparently because I didmy blood test and everything, I
(08:55):
was good to go, didn't have todo any of that kind of stuff.
But, as you can imagine,there's some anxiety there.
But the bottom line is andthat's the first time I've had a
tetanus shot, I'm not gonna lie.
I mean, that's the first timeI've had a tetanus shot since I
was a kid and that thing swelledon me and hurt so bad my arm
had to be in the sling.
Anyone else, I think.
(09:17):
All these years I thoughttetanus shots just hurt so bad
turns out whoever wasadministering the shot really
wasn't doing a good job, or didnot do a very good job of
administering the shot.
So all this time and that's uh,I put that off because of that
(09:39):
I got it today, no painwhatsoever.
So I'm riding that little hightoday.
Now when she says all you gottado to lower that bad cholesterol
is get out there, walk, run,exercise, and I've been doing
that now for the last oh I don'tknow three weeks a month, and
(10:01):
that's why I'm so compelled todo it today.
Combine all those factorsbeautiful day, my mom's birthday
, good checkup, for the mostpart results.
Let's lower that cholesterol alittle bit, stay in shape.
All of these factors, the factthat I'm feeling good after
getting a good exam, all of it,so that's why I'm out here.
(10:28):
Take it in the day, thank God,you know, being on my mom's
birthday and all, I just thankher so much.
I was so blessed to have a greatmom.
You know, my mom wasn't ascientist or an astronaut.
She wasn't a business owner.
(10:53):
She didn't have a collegedegree.
What she was was a gorgeouswoman from the 50s, 60s, 70s,
who was stunning.
In my opinion and I've heardothers say this as well, and I
(11:13):
know I don't mean to sound likethis, but I'm just being honest
with you I thought she was morestunning and beautiful there
goes the school bus, morestunning and beautiful than
Elizabeth Taylor.
I could show you pictures andyou could say, ah, nice, try,
but I don't think so.
(11:33):
Or dang, she really isbeautiful.
Okay, maybe on the same level,okay, whatever, but what a sweet
mother she was raising six kids.
What a sweet mother she wasraising six kids.
Uh, back when, you know, mothersraised kids, dads went out and
worked.
My dad worked at cannibal soup,which reminds me of something
else I want to tell you.
Yesterday we had rain.
(11:55):
There was a burn, dad, a fire,my fireplace it was so cozy and
I ended up.
I don't know why, but I saidyou know, hey, I was at the
store and I guess just because Isaw it, I said I've got to have
some of this.
I had bean with bacon soup,campbell's bean with bacon soup,
first time I've had that inforever.
(12:17):
But my father, 23 years,assistant plant manager at
Campbell's Soup in Sacramento,that was a staple in our
household, campbell's Soup.
We used to go.
There was a Campbell's Soupstore in front of the plant.
We'd go there in the afternoonmeet my dad sometimes and he'd
load up the station wagon withthe Falcone station wagon, ford
(12:42):
Falcon station wagon, and we'dload it up with these brown
paper sacks essentially ofCampbell's soup.
I remember they started doingpudding too.
I was so excited, cannedpudding.
But yeah, so bean and bacon wasalways a staple Bean and bacon
and chicken and stars, and sohaving that yesterday for the
(13:05):
first time in a couple ofdecades just brought me back
into my past, which included, asI've mentioned, probably ad
nauseum at this point, mymother's record collection, and
(13:34):
it was my mother and her records.
That that is.
That is the reason I know somuch, so much music.
Everyone always says, man, youknow music.
Well, my mother had that recordcollection.
I shifted to it constantly,always looking for stuff to play
for her, and in the midst ofpretending I was a DJ.
As a little kid it must havebeen in my blood.
I would learn all the music andI loved it, you know.
So thank you to my mother forthat, and as I, when I finish up
(14:07):
my little walk here, I willplay a couple of the songs that
reminds me so much of my motherbut it was her.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I'll just play everything from country music.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I mean Hank Thompson, hank Snow, hank Williams,
anyone named Hank Burt Camfordand his orchestra, the German
orchestra with the coolest bassfrom back in the day.
I remember it was Wonderland.
As a kid I loved it.
Vaughn Monroe, the MillsBrothers, the Ames Brothers, any
(14:55):
brothers, ernest Tubb, you knowBluegrass, blackie Pulpjoy, who
she used to take me to seeBluegrass, bluegrass local.
It's a whole other story Icould share.
Merle Haggard, george Jones,tammy wineette, for God's sakes,
Lynn Anderson.
I beg your pardon, you know.
(15:17):
I mean I mean she taught me all.
Well, it's not that she taughtme that, it's that the records
were there and I chose to listento them.
She was always listening tothem.
When she wasn't, I waslistening to them.
You know, pile into theairwaves.
There's my neighbor out there.
Hi, she's out there with herdogs Got a burn pile going, the
(15:57):
ones that had the Kamala HarrisHarris waltz.
As I'm whispering, I don't wanther to think I'm disparaging,
I'm not.
She's the one that had theHarris waltz, false signs.
So anyhow, thanks to my mom formy knowledge and exposure to
music.
(16:17):
You know, speaking of that wholeKamala and the election and all
that and Trump, it's been aweek today and the election and
all that, and Trump.
It's been a week today.
I am absolutely.
It used to be funny but quitefrankly, now I'm embarrassed and
ashamed of all these people,these idiots who feel compelled
to go on YouTube and cry andthreaten people.
(16:41):
This is All these people.
Oh, we're oppressed, oppressedand he's Hitler.
And these people arethreatening all kinds of just
horrible things and melting downand just you know, it's white
men and white people, the mostracist things I've heard.
(17:01):
I just cannot believe it, whilethey're accusing people of
being racists.
I mean, we've got to get thisstraight, america results of
this election.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Earlier today, I spoke with President-elect Trump
and congratulated him on hisvictory.
I also told him that we willhelp him and his team with their
transition and that we willengage in a peaceful transfer of
power.
A fundamental principle ofAmerican democracy is that when
(17:43):
we lose an election, we acceptthe results.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
If the Trump administration requests it would
the Massachusetts state policeassist in mass deportations.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
No, absolutely not.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Donor class can't just sit back on the sidelines
and say oh well, don't worry,this will all work itself out.
They're still going to have togo out and put a bullet in
Donald Trump, and that's a fact.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Take a look at that.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't hearing pew-pew
fire in the red state ofFlorida as common as hearing
birds sing?
I'm sure it wasn't personal.
Please don't flatter yourself.
I swear to God, if you idiotselect that demented man, I will
burn this whole place to theground.
Even the Germans tried to warnus, but you didn't listen.
(18:45):
You didn't listen to thehistorians, the psychologists,
the educators and theintellectuals.
Of course not, becauseDictatorship 101 is to convince
you to distrust the media, theeducated and to create an us
versus them mentality.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
What we did not have is white women who voted about
52% right for Donald Trump.
Uneducated white women is myunderstanding.
You have Latino men actuallyvoting more for him.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
That kind of extreme sort of extremist, right-wing,
fascist-type government inFlorida?
Does that make it a moreattractive place?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I can't believe Trump's actually going to win
this f***ing day.
Oh, jesus Christ, I'm so f***edup.
That group of people who aredoing that and I'm not defining
that as Republican or Democratthat group of people feeling
compelled to do that.
Man, you might want to thinkabout spending less time at the
(19:53):
nose pierce hut and, geez, likegetting a life.
I mean, I mean, I don't want togo too far down that road, I
just it's just amazing.
The meltdowns just keephappening and happening and
happening.
Uh, let's see what else I wantedto say.
(20:15):
Something else, oh, marnie.
I got to meet Marnie thisweekend.
Marnie is a listener living upin the Sutter Buttes.
Saturday, thanks to Dale andthanks to Danielle who takes
care of her, I had anopportunity to go up there and
meet Marnie.
It was so special, what asweetheart, feisty.
(20:36):
We had a great conversation.
That was me out there today.
Just finishing things up, I'mgoing to prepare for my radio
show tonight.
Please, if you haven't listento my show, my radio show, the
Pat Walsh Show, kbk Radio inSacramento and, of course,
streaming live on your freeiHeart app and we are national
(21:01):
and international on that app,of course, but 7 to 10 pm on
KFBK.
As I kind of finish Podcast 160here of.
Of course, as we always do, weplug, we pluck a record from my
rare 45 collection and today Igrabbed this record and as soon
as I we covered everything fromokay there we go.
(21:24):
I don't know there.
I was there, I was there, I wasdidn't mean to start myself up
again there, uh, anyhow.
Uh, when I grabbed this recordI thought, oh, it has to be this
group, because anytime I seethis record label, which is bell
records, it's on silver label,it's got these like, it's got a
bell black outline of a bell, asilver record.
(21:47):
I always think of the partridgefamily, like, yep, I got to
grab the Partridge familybecause they were on Bell
Records.
This is not the Partridgefamily, but this is a song that
either you either love this songor you don't.
(22:08):
You either love it or youreally dislike.
It is the way I see it.
This song was a big hit, I thinkin 75.
Let me look at the record andsee if I get it right.
I think it was 70, I mean not75, but I was no, not 75.
(22:31):
I'm going to guess like 73, 73.
I'm trying to think how Ialways get this wrong.
I'm gonna say 73, but it alwaysseems like I get that wrong for
some reason.
Anyhow, uh, but I remember it.
Everyone seems to remember thissong.
Let me see.
This came out in uh, hmm, well,by gosh, I don't know what's
(23:03):
going on here.
I'm having a malfunction here uhall right, I'm going to Google
this because I don't know.
I'm sorry I am stretching hereto try to.
I can't seem to find it 1974.
(23:29):
See, I said 75.
Then I went back to 73.
It's 74.
Doggone it.
Anyhow, this was from 74 and itwas a big hit by this
individual.
I'm certain this was a one-hitwonder.
No, I've never heard anythingelse by this artist Born in
(23:52):
Winnipeg, manitoba.
Let's see Song was originallyintended for the Beach Boys.
I didn't know that.
And the person who sings thesong this is interesting, I did
not know this was going to bethe producer for the Beach Boys
(24:13):
recording.
However, after the groupdecided not to release it, this
gentleman decided to record ithimself.
He says okay, so it was late 73on his own record label.
See, that always confuses me,because in my mind I hear it in
73, but they're saying 74, sowhatever.
But I mean, imagine this guywas going to produce it for the
(24:35):
Beach Boys says, oh, you don'twant it, okay, I'll just sing it
.
And then he gets a hit.
Uh, goldfish Records, which washis original record label, like
I say, became the largestselling international single by
a Canadian artist at this time,eventually selling 14 million
copies.
Wow, worldwide Earned theartist two Juno Awards and
(25:00):
became one of the biggestselling Canadian singles of all
time.
The song was based on RodMcKeown's 1965 rewrites of Les
Morbondes, originally by Belgiansingers.
I don't want to get into allthat, let's see, anyhow it was.
(25:23):
So he made.
So the artist made somemodifications to the lyrics and
then they combined Rod McEwen'schanges, which then resulted in
a work that bears littleresemblance to the original and
tone blah, blah, blah.
Anyhow.
(25:43):
Number one in Germany, uk, us.
Yeah, one.
Number one in Canada, let's see.
No, it went to number eight.
I'm all confused on this.
I'm so sorry I never do this.
No, that is right.
Number one, number one, anyhow.
I'm just going to play the dangthing.
(26:04):
Geez, I'm too confused to evensay it.
The artist's name is Terry JackSeasons in the Sun.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Remember this one.
Goodbye to you, my trustedfriend.
We've known each other since wewere nine or ten.
Together, we've climbed hillsand trees, learned of love and
abc, skinned our hearts andskinned our knees.
(26:42):
Goodbye, my friend.
It's hard to die when all thebirds are singing in the sky.
Now that spring is in the air,pretty girls are everywhere.
Think of me and I'll be there.
(27:04):
We had joy, we had fun, we hadseasons in the sun, but the
hills that we climbed were justseasons out of time.
Goodbye, papa.
Please pray for me.
I was the black sheep of thefamily.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
This song played every hour on the hour when it
was popular.
Ah, this takes me back.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Too much wine and too much song.
Wonder how I got along.
Goodbye Papa.
It's hard to die.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
When all the birds are singing in the sky.
Ah, this is like junior high.
The spring is in the air.
I never cared for this.
I never liked this song.
Little children everywhere, butI didn't.
I don't know.
It was so sappy, I couldn'thate it Like someone was dying,
(28:06):
but I tell you it stood the testof time, this song, my gosh.
People still remember it sowell and you can, and the little
you can, tell the littlebeachboard keyboard organ in
there.
Goodbye, michelle, my littleone.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
You gave me love and helped me find the sun.
Every time that I was down, youwould always come around and
get my feet back on the ground.
Goodbye, Michelle.
It's hard to die.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
I can hear that little Beach Boys style organ.
I can hear them doing that songactually, now that you think
about it, now that I think aboutit.
But what is on the flip side?
Does anyone know what is on theflip side of Seasons in the Sun
by Terry Jacks?
Here's the name of the song.
I'm very curious becausethere's no way.
(29:04):
I don't think I've ever heardthis, but an intriguing title,
to say the least.
All right, here's the flip sidethe Seasons and the Suns by
Terry Jack.
Here is Put the Bone In, putthe bone in.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
She asked him oh wow, at the store, whoa.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
That's promiscuous.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Because my doggies been hit by a car.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
God, I'm such a loser for thinking that.
How dare I.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
And I do want to bring him home.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
The guy's dog got hit by a car.
He wants to bring him a bone.
She begged him once more, Imean you gotta tell me you know
there's a different thoughtthere.
Discerning the pork is sweetAnother way to take those lyrics
.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Give the bone from the pork meat to me.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
You think of it either way you want, as we
listen, okay.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Put the bone in.
She begged him, oh God, as shepaced around the floor.
Oh, my goodness, put the bonein.
She yelled out once more.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Wow, terry, how did this not become a hit?
Put the bone in.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
She asked him At the store.
It's not become a hit.
Speaker 1 (30:49):

Clearly it is.
So this is a learning momenthere on Pat's Peeps 160.
(02:09):
Now, and I also learned thatyou can't really hear the Nike
Run Club lady telling me topause.
You know that we're pausing orresuming the workout.
I can hear it, but apparentlyno one else can hear it, so
that's something I just learned.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
I'm out here.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
There we go there, I am.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Walk here today because not only is it a
beautiful day, but I just had myphysical today.
Everyone get physicals.
You should get a physical oncea year, you know it should be
more about if we could in anyway possible.
I think Should be aboutpreventative instead of reacting
(02:56):
to disease.
Hi there, buddies, got the dogseverywhere.
Hi, hi there, you know, getyourself checked out once a year
.
Hi there, what you doing.
You know I'm going by myneighbor's house down here.
It's beautiful.
Up until about what day is it?
12?
(03:16):
So up until a week ago, Ibelieve.
It's been a week already sincethe election, been a week
already since the election.
Up until a week ago they hadthe kamala signs out.
They're gone now.
You know.
Hey, to each his own right.
Respect, as long as you vote,make your opinions known.
(03:39):
I mean, that's what I respect.
So I just got say I'm going totake a little pause here real
quick.
Hi there, buddy, I just want tosee the dogs for a second.
Hi there, you have a nice placethere.
You got a nice place.
How are you today?
You guys having fun out in thatbig beautiful yard?
(04:03):
Yeah, that's what I thought.
You guys having lucky out here,that big, beautiful yard.
Yeah, that's what I thought youguys having lucky out here in
the beautiful foothills.
It's so pretty Anyhow, I'mtalking to these dogs as if
they're humans, but it felt so Ihad to get the physical today
and my point is I would justencourage everyone to do the
same, get a physical once a year.
(04:25):
So many times I hear, yeah, youknow, I would just encourage
everyone to do the same, get aphysical once a year.
So many times I hear, yeah, youknow, I've had a physical in 20
years, 10 years.
I'm like, wow, same thing withlike colonoscopies and things.
I'm not trying to preach aboutit, I'm just saying you know,
you know there's maybe someanxiety, I guess before you go
(04:50):
in.
No one wants to find outanything horrible, obviously,
but heck, I could tell you onething God forbid if they did
find something out about you, atleast they could catch whatever
.
It was maybe early.
You know that's the benefitright of having a physical
(05:13):
consistently.
Every time I have to stop herefor a car that goes by, the lady
on my Nike run club is going togo pausing workout.
I've got to pause.
How my Nike run club is goingto go Pausing workout.
I've got to pause, I've got toso.
But the other part of that toconsider See, there she is
(05:34):
pausing workout.
Yeah, I know, I'm pausing theworkout.
The other part of that toconsider is, if you get a clean
bill of health, man, it makesyou feel so good, puts a spring
in your step, you know.
It's just a good feeling toknow that you really checked out
(05:56):
.
Okay, I did the full blood paneland everything.
Everything came out good.
I'm a little high incholesterol in one area, and
here's what this doctor said.
It's a new doctor, first timeI've ever heard.
Now she's going to say I'mstarting my workout again,
resuming workout, but I don'teven know if you're hearing that
.
(06:18):
So, anyhow, I had my doctor forover 22 years and I had my
doctor for over 22 years andthen when COVID came along, he
was so good that they kind ofpromoted him or he took a job as
for mercy or dignity, health orwhatever, for the sort of head
(06:41):
of COVID strategy or whatever,it was something like that.
And I got another doctor.
I didn't want to do that.
I felt very comfortable withthat doctor, but so I got
another doctor.
He turned out to be okay too.
Then he moved on.
So I was only with that doctorfor, let's say, oh on, so I was
(07:07):
only with that doctor for, let'ssay, oh well, let's see four
years, five years, I think.
So he moves on.
And so now I have a new doctorand it's a she.
Now I don't care if it's a heor she, as long as they're a
(07:29):
good doctor.
And I should turn this Nike appoff.
It's driving me crazy, anyhow.
Yeah, so there's some anxietybecause now it's a female doctor
For me as a guy.
You know, when you get aphysical, well, there's certain
(07:51):
things that need to be done.
You know they start strappingon those rubber gloves.
You hear that sound.
You're like, oh yeah, put theelbows on the table.
Yeah, well, I was dreading that, to be honest with you, or you
know what I'm saying, fellas.
(08:12):
There's that time during thephysical exam where they go, all
right, cough, and then, oh, yes, cough again.
I would have felt somewhatuncomfortable, if you get my
meaning.
So I go in first time.
(08:33):
She's very nice, never broughtthose concerns to her, I just
figure.
You know what I just got toroll with the flow.
She's the professional and Ineed to trust them and not be
such a big baby and not worryabout it.
Well, apparently because I didmy blood test and everything, I
(08:55):
was good to go, didn't have todo any of that kind of stuff.
But, as you can imagine,there's some anxiety there.
But the bottom line is andthat's the first time I've had a
tetanus shot, I'm not gonna lie.
I mean, that's the first timeI've had a tetanus shot since I
was a kid and that thing swelledon me and hurt so bad my arm
had to be in the sling.
Anyone else, I think.
(09:17):
All these years I thoughttetanus shots just hurt so bad
turns out whoever wasadministering the shot really
wasn't doing a good job, or didnot do a very good job of
administering the shot.
So all this time and that's uh,I put that off because of that
(09:39):
I got it today, no painwhatsoever.
So I'm riding that little hightoday.
Now when she says all you gottado to lower that bad cholesterol
is get out there, walk, run,exercise, and I've been doing
that now for the last oh I don'tknow three weeks a month, and
(10:01):
that's why I'm so compelled todo it today.
Combine all those factorsbeautiful day, my mom's birthday
, good checkup, for the mostpart results.
Let's lower that cholesterol alittle bit, stay in shape.
All of these factors, the factthat I'm feeling good after
getting a good exam, all of it,so that's why I'm out here.
(10:28):
Take it in the day, thank God,you know, being on my mom's
birthday and all, I just thankher so much.
I was so blessed to have a greatmom.
You know, my mom wasn't ascientist or an astronaut.
She wasn't a business owner.
(10:53):
She didn't have a collegedegree.
What she was was a gorgeouswoman from the 50s, 60s, 70s,
who was stunning.
In my opinion and I've heardothers say this as well, and I
(11:13):
know I don't mean to sound likethis, but I'm just being honest
with you I thought she was morestunning and beautiful there
goes the school bus, morestunning and beautiful than
Elizabeth Taylor.
I could show you pictures andyou could say, ah, nice, try,
but I don't think so.
(11:33):
Or dang, she really isbeautiful.
Okay, maybe on the same level,okay, whatever, but what a sweet
mother she was raising six kids.
What a sweet mother she wasraising six kids.
Uh, back when, you know, mothersraised kids, dads went out and
worked.
My dad worked at cannibal soup,which reminds me of something
else I want to tell you.
Yesterday we had rain.
(11:55):
There was a burn, dad, a fire,my fireplace it was so cozy and
I ended up.
I don't know why, but I saidyou know, hey, I was at the
store and I guess just because Isaw it, I said I've got to have
some of this.
I had bean with bacon soup,campbell's bean with bacon soup,
first time I've had that inforever.
(12:17):
But my father, 23 years,assistant plant manager at
Campbell's Soup in Sacramento,that was a staple in our
household, campbell's Soup.
We used to go.
There was a Campbell's Soupstore in front of the plant.
We'd go there in the afternoonmeet my dad sometimes and he'd
load up the station wagon withthe Falcone station wagon, ford
(12:42):
Falcon station wagon, and we'dload it up with these brown
paper sacks essentially ofCampbell's soup.
I remember they started doingpudding too.
I was so excited, cannedpudding.
But yeah, so bean and bacon wasalways a staple Bean and bacon
and chicken and stars, and sohaving that yesterday for the
(13:05):
first time in a couple ofdecades just brought me back
into my past, which included, asI've mentioned, probably ad
nauseum at this point, mymother's record collection, and
(13:34):
it was my mother and her records.
That that is.
That is the reason I know somuch, so much music.
Everyone always says, man, youknow music.
Well, my mother had that recordcollection.
I shifted to it constantly,always looking for stuff to play
for her, and in the midst ofpretending I was a DJ.
As a little kid it must havebeen in my blood.
I would learn all the music andI loved it, you know.
So thank you to my mother forthat, and as I, when I finish up
(14:07):
my little walk here, I willplay a couple of the songs that
reminds me so much of my motherbut it was her.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I'll just play everything from country music.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I mean Hank Thompson, hank Snow, hank Williams,
anyone named Hank Burt Camfordand his orchestra, the German
orchestra with the coolest bassfrom back in the day.
I remember it was Wonderland.
As a kid I loved it.
Vaughn Monroe, the MillsBrothers, the Ames Brothers, any
(14:55):
brothers, ernest Tubb, you knowBluegrass, blackie Pulpjoy, who
she used to take me to seeBluegrass, bluegrass local.
It's a whole other story Icould share.
Merle Haggard, george Jones,tammy wineette, for God's sakes,
Lynn Anderson.
I beg your pardon, you know.
(15:17):
I mean I mean she taught me all.
Well, it's not that she taughtme that, it's that the records
were there and I chose to listento them.
She was always listening tothem.
When she wasn't, I waslistening to them.
You know, pile into theairwaves.
There's my neighbor out there.
Hi, she's out there with herdogs Got a burn pile going, the
(15:57):
ones that had the Kamala HarrisHarris waltz.
As I'm whispering, I don't wanther to think I'm disparaging,
I'm not.
She's the one that had theHarris waltz, false signs.
So anyhow, thanks to my mom formy knowledge and exposure to
music.
(16:17):
You know, speaking of that wholeKamala and the election and all
that and Trump, it's been aweek today and the election and
all that, and Trump.
It's been a week today.
I am absolutely.
It used to be funny but quitefrankly, now I'm embarrassed and
ashamed of all these people,these idiots who feel compelled
to go on YouTube and cry andthreaten people.
(16:41):
This is All these people.
Oh, we're oppressed, oppressedand he's Hitler.
And these people arethreatening all kinds of just
horrible things and melting downand just you know, it's white
men and white people, the mostracist things I've heard.
(17:01):
I just cannot believe it, whilethey're accusing people of
being racists.
I mean, we've got to get thisstraight, america results of
this election.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Earlier today, I spoke with President-elect Trump
and congratulated him on hisvictory.
I also told him that we willhelp him and his team with their
transition and that we willengage in a peaceful transfer of
power.
A fundamental principle ofAmerican democracy is that when
(17:43):
we lose an election, we acceptthe results.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
If the Trump administration requests it would
the Massachusetts state policeassist in mass deportations.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
No, absolutely not.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Donor class can't just sit back on the sidelines
and say oh well, don't worry,this will all work itself out.
They're still going to have togo out and put a bullet in
Donald Trump, and that's a fact.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Take a look at that.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't hearing pew-pew
fire in the red state ofFlorida as common as hearing
birds sing?
I'm sure it wasn't personal.
Please don't flatter yourself.
I swear to God, if you idiotselect that demented man, I will
burn this whole place to theground.
Even the Germans tried to warnus, but you didn't listen.
(18:45):
You didn't listen to thehistorians, the psychologists,
the educators and theintellectuals.
Of course not, becauseDictatorship 101 is to convince
you to distrust the media, theeducated and to create an us
versus them mentality.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
What we did not have is white women who voted about
52% right for Donald Trump.
Uneducated white women is myunderstanding.
You have Latino men actuallyvoting more for him.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
That kind of extreme sort of extremist, right-wing,
fascist-type government inFlorida?
Does that make it a moreattractive place?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I can't believe Trump's actually going to win
this f***ing day.
Oh, jesus Christ, I'm so f***edup.
That group of people who aredoing that and I'm not defining
that as Republican or Democratthat group of people feeling
compelled to do that.
Man, you might want to thinkabout spending less time at the
(19:53):
nose pierce hut and, geez, likegetting a life.
I mean, I mean, I don't want togo too far down that road, I
just it's just amazing.
The meltdowns just keephappening and happening and
happening.
Uh, let's see what else I wantedto say.
(20:15):
Something else, oh, marnie.
I got to meet Marnie thisweekend.
Marnie is a listener living upin the Sutter Buttes.
Saturday, thanks to Dale andthanks to Danielle who takes
care of her, I had anopportunity to go up there and
meet Marnie.
It was so special, what asweetheart, feisty.
(20:36):
We had a great conversation.
That was me out there today.
Just finishing things up, I'mgoing to prepare for my radio
show tonight.
Please, if you haven't listento my show, my radio show, the
Pat Walsh Show, kbk Radio inSacramento and, of course,
streaming live on your freeiHeart app and we are national
(21:01):
and international on that app,of course, but 7 to 10 pm on
KFBK.
As I kind of finish Podcast 160here of.
Of course, as we always do, weplug, we pluck a record from my
rare 45 collection and today Igrabbed this record and as soon
as I we covered everything fromokay there we go.
(21:24):
I don't know there.
I was there, I was there, I wasdidn't mean to start myself up
again there, uh, anyhow.
Uh, when I grabbed this recordI thought, oh, it has to be this
group, because anytime I seethis record label, which is bell
records, it's on silver label,it's got these like, it's got a
bell black outline of a bell, asilver record.
(21:47):
I always think of the partridgefamily, like, yep, I got to
grab the Partridge familybecause they were on Bell
Records.
This is not the Partridgefamily, but this is a song that
either you either love this songor you don't.
(22:08):
You either love it or youreally dislike.
It is the way I see it.
This song was a big hit, I thinkin 75.
Let me look at the record andsee if I get it right.
I think it was 70, I mean not75, but I was no, not 75.
(22:31):
I'm going to guess like 73, 73.
I'm trying to think how Ialways get this wrong.
I'm gonna say 73, but it alwaysseems like I get that wrong for
some reason.
Anyhow, uh, but I remember it.
Everyone seems to remember thissong.
Let me see.
This came out in uh, hmm, well,by gosh, I don't know what's
(23:03):
going on here.
I'm having a malfunction here uhall right, I'm going to Google
this because I don't know.
I'm sorry I am stretching hereto try to.
I can't seem to find it 1974.
(23:29):
See, I said 75.
Then I went back to 73.
It's 74.
Doggone it.
Anyhow, this was from 74 and itwas a big hit by this
individual.
I'm certain this was a one-hitwonder.
No, I've never heard anythingelse by this artist Born in
(23:52):
Winnipeg, manitoba.
Let's see Song was originallyintended for the Beach Boys.
I didn't know that.
And the person who sings thesong this is interesting, I did
not know this was going to bethe producer for the Beach Boys
(24:13):
recording.
However, after the groupdecided not to release it, this
gentleman decided to record ithimself.
He says okay, so it was late 73on his own record label.
See, that always confuses me,because in my mind I hear it in
73, but they're saying 74, sowhatever.
But I mean, imagine this guywas going to produce it for the
(24:35):
Beach Boys says, oh, you don'twant it, okay, I'll just sing it
.
And then he gets a hit.
Uh, goldfish Records, which washis original record label, like
I say, became the largestselling international single by
a Canadian artist at this time,eventually selling 14 million
copies.
Wow, worldwide Earned theartist two Juno Awards and
(25:00):
became one of the biggestselling Canadian singles of all
time.
The song was based on RodMcKeown's 1965 rewrites of Les
Morbondes, originally by Belgiansingers.
I don't want to get into allthat, let's see, anyhow it was.
(25:23):
So he made.
So the artist made somemodifications to the lyrics and
then they combined Rod McEwen'schanges, which then resulted in
a work that bears littleresemblance to the original and
tone blah, blah, blah.
Anyhow.
(25:43):
Number one in Germany, uk, us.
Yeah, one.
Number one in Canada, let's see.
No, it went to number eight.
I'm all confused on this.
I'm so sorry I never do this.
No, that is right.
Number one, number one, anyhow.
I'm just going to play the dangthing.
(26:04):
Geez, I'm too confused to evensay it.
The artist's name is Terry JackSeasons in the Sun.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Remember this one.
Goodbye to you, my trustedfriend.
We've known each other since wewere nine or ten.
Together, we've climbed hillsand trees, learned of love and
abc, skinned our hearts andskinned our knees.
(26:42):
Goodbye, my friend.
It's hard to die when all thebirds are singing in the sky.
Now that spring is in the air,pretty girls are everywhere.
Think of me and I'll be there.
(27:04):
We had joy, we had fun, we hadseasons in the sun, but the
hills that we climbed were justseasons out of time.
Goodbye, papa.
Please pray for me.
I was the black sheep of thefamily.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
This song played every hour on the hour when it
was popular.
Ah, this takes me back.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Too much wine and too much song.
Wonder how I got along.
Goodbye Papa.
It's hard to die.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
When all the birds are singing in the sky.
Ah, this is like junior high.
The spring is in the air.
I never cared for this.
I never liked this song.
Little children everywhere, butI didn't.
I don't know.
It was so sappy, I couldn'thate it Like someone was dying,
(28:06):
but I tell you it stood the testof time, this song, my gosh.
People still remember it sowell and you can, and the little
you can, tell the littlebeachboard keyboard organ in
there.
Goodbye, michelle, my littleone.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
You gave me love and helped me find the sun.
Every time that I was down, youwould always come around and
get my feet back on the ground.
Goodbye, Michelle.
It's hard to die.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
I can hear that little Beach Boys style organ.
I can hear them doing that songactually, now that you think
about it, now that I think aboutit.
But what is on the flip side?
Does anyone know what is on theflip side of Seasons in the Sun
by Terry Jacks?
Here's the name of the song.
I'm very curious becausethere's no way.
(29:04):
I don't think I've ever heardthis, but an intriguing title,
to say the least.
All right, here's the flip sidethe Seasons and the Suns by
Terry Jack.
Here is Put the Bone In, putthe bone in.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
She asked him oh wow, at the store, whoa.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
That's promiscuous.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Because my doggies been hit by a car.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
God, I'm such a loser for thinking that.
How dare I.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
And I do want to bring him home.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
The guy's dog got hit by a car.
He wants to bring him a bone.
She begged him once more, Imean you gotta tell me you know
there's a different thoughtthere.
Discerning the pork is sweetAnother way to take those lyrics
.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Give the bone from the pork meat to me.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
You think of it either way you want, as we
listen, okay.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Put the bone in.
She begged him, oh God, as shepaced around the floor.
Oh, my goodness, put the bonein.
She yelled out once more.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Wow, terry, how did this not become a hit?
Put the bone in.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
She asked him At the store.
It's not become a hit.
