What makes ordinary moments extraordinary? From the peaceful back deck of Northern California on a gorgeous June morning, episode 275 takes you on a journey through unexpected joys, meaningful memories, and surprising connections.
I start by sharing why trips to the local landfill bring me genuine happiness—the connection to childhood memories with my father's 1959 Ford F100, classic country music playing, and that sense of simple accomplishment that turns mundane errands into moments of reflection. It's about finding meaning in places most would overlook.
The heart of this episode pays tribute to NFL legend Jim Marshall, who recently passed at 87. While many remember him for the infamous "wrong-way run" of 1964, his true legacy lies in starting 270 consecutive games from 1961-1979 with the Minnesota Vikings' "Purple People Eaters" defense. Through rare NFL Films audio, we explore his remarkable resilience both on and off the field—a man who survived numerous life-threatening accidents yet never missed a game.
In perhaps the most unexpected segment, I share an impromptu conversation with Meta AI about my own podcast. The artificial intelligence offered surprisingly insightful observations about Pat's Peeps' focus on "community relationships and personal growth" while suggesting strategies for audience expansion. This meta-conversation raises fascinating questions about how technology interprets human connection.
The episode concludes with a deep dive into a rare 45 RPM record—the BeeGees' "I Started a Joke" from 1968, complete with the story of how airplane engine noise inspired the melody. As the needle drops on this white-label Atlantic Studios pressing, we're reminded how music creates bridges between generations and memories.

Good morning.
Good morning, how are you?
Hey, it's a beautiful,beautiful morning.
I love it out here.
I'm out on the back deck forthe Pat's Peeps podcast.
In my mind it seems like asignificant number 275.
I don't know if that's amilestone or not.
(00:41):
I don't know if that's amilestone or not, but it seems
like it this morning, on thisgorgeous day.
This is the fourth day of June2025.
It is a Wednesday and the caris going by down there on the
road.
I mean, it's just so nice to belooking out into the beautiful
foothills of Northern Californiaand wherever you are.
(01:04):
Thank you so very much forlistening to the Pats Peeps
podcast.
We continue to build ourpodcast family.
A couple of interesting thingson that today.
By the way, on the podcast, Ihad a conversation I won't tell
you who it was with just yet,but I will tell you momentarily
(01:24):
who it was with who described mypodcast as well as my radio
show.
By the way, just in case youdon't know, my name is Pat Walsh
.
I'm the host of the Pat WalshShow, as heard on KFBK Radio in
Sacramento and 93.1 FM 1530 AM,and, of course, you can hear
(01:44):
both my show and my podcast onall of your streaming platforms
as we continue every day tobuild our audience here.
Well, already I'll tell youthis.
I had a good day already.
You know I had a good day.
Now, to many of you, you may goGod, that just sounds like a
horrible day.
That sounds horrible, patrick.
Well, not to me.
(02:05):
I went to the garbage dump thismorning.
I went to the landfill, that'sright.
Went to the landfill.
I don't know what it is.
I've mentioned before in aprevious podcast, I believe I
like to get in the truck.
You know, you finally realizeyou've got enough stuff loaded
(02:27):
up in the truck.
If you're lucky enough to havea truck, which are unbelievably,
ridiculously expensive thesedays, and my 99 Silverado,
353,000 miles on a run like achampion, yes, this Z71
four-wheel drive standard cab,get into the truck.
Throw on skid row by merlehaggard.
(02:49):
Yeah, there's just somethingabout it.
I love listening to this superold school country and going to
the dump, pulling up there in mytruck.
How you doing, man, goodmorning, good morning, you got a
(03:12):
lot of stuff here.
Let's say, yeah, okay, throwthe metal over there.
Yeah, I'm over there throwingmy stuff out.
It's a good start to the day.
Maybe it's one of those thingsthat you just can't explain why
you like that.
Some people would think, geezman, you like going to the dump?
I don't know.
I'm going to associate it very,very much with the fact that I
(03:34):
used to go with my pops.
You know, I think my mom toowould go to the dump every once
in a while.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
But you know that old country music would be playing
my dad had a 59 Ford F100.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Of course I have a 54 F100.
I don't think it's acoincidence.
Listen to that guitar, yeah.
So, man, you might think that'sstrange, I don't.
It's just like this memoryassociated with my childhood
(04:08):
that is a really fond memory.
Speaking of memories associatedwith childhood, thank you to
Robin, the Interrupter, who sentme an article that really is
associated with that very topic.
I was just looking at that,robin.
Thank you, I'll do that on myradio show tonight.
We'll discuss that.
We'll find out where you are interms of siblings in the order
(04:31):
of siblings on the Pat Walshshow here this evening, on this
Wednesday night.
So I got the day started likethat, which was again a blessing
, and yeah it's always nice.
And then a stop to the goodwill.
Brought the goodwill some nicethings this morning.
I always like doing that.
(04:51):
You contribute to me because wewere just talking about the
goodwill on my radio show Notjust goodwill but all the
secondhand shops, and I alwaysmake sure it's something that's
fairly nice, that they can use.
I don't give them junk, I givethem things that are still very
nice.
I'm just kind of done with it.
I need to give it.
Someone else can use it morethan I can.
(05:12):
So really a nice morning, theweather, as I say, delightful.
There's a breeze, I don't know,it might be in the 80s today,
no big deal.
Got a good, very rare copy ofthis record for the end of the
(05:33):
show tonight.
I mean this one is.
That is a super rare record asI look at it.
You know, as I always try toplay a little music at the end
of my show, I did want tomention today that it's been a
couple of days now and I did notmention this on my Pat's Peeps
on my podcast yet.
But I want to pay my respect toBig Jim Marshall, who was an
(05:58):
NFL Ironman who played with theMinnesota Vikings.
I mentioned it a couple ofpodcasts ago, two days ago,
which would have been what Iguess 273.
My brother Jim's birthday.
That Jim is a Vikings fan and aRed Sox fan.
Well, growing up I talked aboutthe rivalry that we share
(06:21):
between the Rams and the Vikings.
And yeah, the Rams had thefearsome force.
And well, jim Marshall was partof the Purple People leaders,
the Minnesota Vikings defense ofthe late 60s into the 70s.
Jim Marshall, who was 87 yearsold, was a part of that defense
(06:41):
and he passed away.
You know, jim Marshall.
The one thing about Jim Marshalland, by the way, that's back
when the Vikings uniforms lookedmuch better, sorry, but so did
the Rams.
You know, jim Marshall,unfortunately for him.
(07:02):
You know, jim Marshall,unfortunately for him, his
career is people remember oneplay.
You know you have this greatcareer and people remember one
play.
Oh sure, it was a very uniqueplay.
You don't?
I don't believe I've ever I'veseen it since.
I don't think I saw it before.
(07:24):
It can't be the only time.
I did not.
I did not do the research onthat, doesn't really matter.
But you know he gets rememberedso often after this great
career which should be a hall offame career, I would say, for
the infamous wrong way run in1964 against the Minnesota
(07:46):
Vikings, where he picks the ballup on a fumble and he's running
to what he thinks is going tobe a touchdown for his team.
Unfortunately, he is runningthe wrong way.
Everyone who is a football fanand if you've been a football
fan for a number of years knowsexactly what I'm talking about.
(08:06):
But the fact is that JimMarshall started 270 consecutive
regular season games for theVikings from 1961 to 1979.
And when you think about 270consecutive regular season games
and he retires in 79, you'retalking about an era of football
(08:29):
where these guys hit.
Nowadays, some of the hits thatthese guys did, you know now
it'd be a penalty.
Every play would be a penalty.
These guys meant business.
This is football.
This isn't flag.
This isn't touch.
This is football.
This isn't flag.
This isn't touch.
This is football.
You know that you came on thefield for the intent to hit
(08:53):
someone or be hit or to avoidbeing hit, and this man in that
era started 270 consecutivegames.
That's still the record, by theway, for a defender in the NFL.
When Brett Favre set theconsecutive starts record in
September of 2009,.
(09:15):
That was Jim Marshall's recordthat he broke Consecutive starts
, came out of Ohio State andhelped the Minnesota Vikings
reach the Super Bowls Four SuperBowls in the 70s.
They again are the hard luckteam, along with the Buffalo
(09:35):
Bills, in terms of Super Bowllosses, although you can almost
put the 49ers in that category.
But you can't because the 49ershave a lot of wins too.
So I would never do that Muchrespect to all of these teams.
Quite frankly, it's not easy.
But he comes out of Ohio State.
He becomes part of the vauntedand famed Purple People leaders
(09:58):
defense.
It was a defensive line withthree-time All-Pro.
A two-time Pro Bowler served asa team captain for 14
consecutive seasons.
Kind of reminds me of MerlinOlsen in A Way for the Rams, who
went to 14 straight Pro Bowls,played alongside some other
greats Roger Brown and LamarLunday, deacon Jones, rosie
Greer.
(10:18):
But anyhow, marshall began hiscareer in the CFL, drafted by
the Cleveland Browns in 1960.
That was a fine year, by theway.
Then he was traded to theexpansion Vikings who came about
that year.
I'm kind of surprised thatdidn't turn out to be a Vikings
fan.
I guess the Cowboys came fromthat year too.
In the 2000s NFL films rankedhim as the second best player,
(10:44):
not in the Pro Football Hall ofFame and they need to correct
that.
But his most famous momentunfortunately for him, and he
was a good sport about this washis wrong way run during a game.
October 25th 1964, marshallscooped up a fumble by San
(11:06):
Francisco 49ers running backBilly Kilmer.
I remember him.
I remember him more for theRedskins than I do the 49ers,
but he returned it 66 yards intohis own end zone for his safety
.
He said he saw the ball comeloose, saw the goal post, picked
(11:28):
it up and ran.
But it is included in the manygreat moments that Jim Marshall
experienced in his illustriouscareer.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
The horse was a player to whom many generations
of Viking fans looked upon asbeing immortal.
He was a defensive end andphilosopher named Jim Marshall.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
NFL.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Films production To dare mighty things, to win
glorious triumphs, even thoughcheckered with failure, than to
be ranked with those poor soulswho neither enjoy much nor
suffer much, for they live inthat gray twilight that knows
not victory nor defeat, teddy.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Roosevelt, jim Marshall sought adventure
Adventure, however, for, good orbad, never had a problem
finding him.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
Myra straight back to pass Looking.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I just want to interrupt right here as this
play begins.
I've said it before and I'mgoing to say it again as a Rams
and Dodger fan, as a VinceScully fan, charlie Stein or
Rick Monday all of them.
This is Lon Simmons doing hiscall, one of my very favorites,
(12:49):
who broadcasts for the Giantsand the Niners.
I love his voice and his call.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Myra straight back to pass.
Looking Stops, stops.
Throws Myra straight back topass.
Looking stops, throws,completes it to Kilmer up at the
30 yard line.
Kilmer, driving for the firstdown, loses the football.
It's picked up by Jim Marshallwho's running the wrong way.
Marshall is running the wrongway and he's running it into the
end zone the wrong way.
Thinks he's scored a touchdown.
(13:17):
He has scored a safety.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Only someone who has brushed with death off the field
could ever survive this cooltwist of fate on it.
For Jim Marshall wrong way runspale in comparison to his
life-threatening endeavors.
From a Rocky Mountainsnowmobile expedition that left
one member of his party dead tonumerous other encounters into
(13:44):
the unknown, the life and timesof Jim Marshall reads like a
Hollywood horror show scary andhumorous and hard to believe.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
The little silver things were dancing in front of
my eyes and I kind of felt likethis might be it, you know, and
it was.
It was a little little strangeto to feel that way after having
been, you know, the athlete andnever quitting, and all those,
all those things, and I said,boy, you, you've really f***ed
up.
(14:15):
You, you have really f***ed up,you are going to die.
I watched all my limbs break asI hit the ground.
I watched my legs snap and myfoot come up into my groin, held
on by the calf muscle.
Somebody had encephalitisaccidentally shooting himself a
hang glider crash here, the boneof the leg stuck down in the
(14:38):
ground.
I remember sitting up in thebed and blood just kind of
started running down my face.
It was just pumping out theartery that had been nicked, had
deteriorated and burst.
This story is making me sick.
I didn't get to the good part.
They lost me on that one on theoperating table, and I remember
(14:59):
being up looking back at myselflaying on the table and I told
them everything that they did.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
No, they never lost Jim Marshall.
Ironically, over the course of20 years on the playing field,
he hardly suffered a scratch.
By playing in 282 consecutivegames, marshall established an
NFL record of endurance that maynever be broken.
(15:28):
He also went on to run theright way with his fumble
recovery In Minnesota.
Marshall was not merely admired.
He was worshipped by his fans,his teammates and even his long
(15:50):
time legendary coach.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Jim Marshall was a special kind of person.
I always called him Mr Marshalland we had a good relationship.
He was our captain as long ashe was here.
He was exactly what a captainshould be, and if I would say,
okay, guys, let's do this, jimMarshall will be first in line.
And if we had a rookie in thelineup and say, well there goes,
jim Marshall doing this fullspeed, full bore, played 15
(16:18):
years, hey, I got to do it, andthose are the kind of people you
have to have in a football team.
Jim Marshall was very special.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
That was Bud Grant.
We do often mistakenly believethat professional athletes are
immortal, but the man carryingthe football here may well have
been the exception, for if everthere was an indestructible
football player, he was number70 for the Minnesota Vikings, a
maverick named Jim Marshall.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Rest in peace.
Nfl Films.
Thank you, great job.
And Jim Marshall wow, what aplayer.
Much respect to Jim Marshall,god.
He had a lot of terribleaccidents, didn't he?
You're listening to Pat's Peeps275.
I'm very, very grateful forthat, you know.
(17:10):
On a completely other note, Ihad an interesting conversation.
This thing popped up on mysocial feed, social network feed
.
This thing pops up and I reallydon't know exactly.
This is from Facebook.
I don't even know how I gotinto this.
(17:33):
I honestly don't.
I must have clicked a buttonbecause, anyhow, all of a sudden
I see this thing and I'm likewhat is this?
And I had this conversationwith Meta.
Meta is an AI voice More than avoice, I guess, but I don't
(17:57):
know.
I thought I would share thisoff-the-cuff conversation.
Didn't have this planned.
It popped up, so I tookadvantage.

Speaker 3 (22:16):

One potential strategy could beto further leverage social

You could also considerfeaturing a wider range of local
businesses and organizations orexploring different formats
like live recordings or Q&Asessions.
Collaborating with other localinfluencers or podcasters might
help expand the audience.
Additionally, gatheringfeedback from listeners could
(22:39):
provide valuable insights forfuture content and direction.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Do you think the Pats Peeps podcast will be even more
successful if I were to take iton the road and do remote
podcasts from various events?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Interesting question.
Taking the podcast on the roadand doing remote recordings from
various events could be a greatway to reach new audiences and
create fresh content.
It would allow Pat to connectwith people in different
settings and showcase localbusinesses and events in a more
dynamic way.
If executed well, it coulddefinitely add a new layer of
excitement and engagement to thepodcast and engagement to the
(23:19):
podcast.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Do you believe that it is a good idea to add a video
or YouTube component to myaudio-only podcast?
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Adding a video component to an audio-only
podcast can be beneficial.
It allows you to reach abroader audience and provide a
visual element that mightenhance the listener's
experience.
You could record video footageof your podcast episodes or
create short clips to share onYouTube.
This might attract new viewersand potentially drive traffic to
your podcast.
However, it's also important toconsider whether the video
(23:47):
component will add significantvalue to the content or if it's
more of a supplementary feature.
A supplementary feature in thissituation might be adding
visuals like images or graphicsto the YouTube version of the
podcast, but not necessarilyhaving a direct impact on the
audio content itself.
This could enhance the viewer'sexperience without changing the
core podcast format.
(24:08):
Alternatively, you could createbehind-the-scenes content or
bonus footage that's separatefrom the main podcast episodes.
From what I gather, listenersseem to appreciate the mix of
topics on Pat's Peeps podcast.
Some enjoy the heartfelt andserious conversations, while
others appreciate the lighter,more entertaining moments.
It appears that Pat'sauthenticity and vulnerability
(24:30):
resonate with listenersregardless of the topic.

I say where this is really hasto be, so where I'm going to
pull it out of its sleeve, hereit's got the generic radio
station sleeve.
(28:29):
Looking at the record itself,the vinyl, let me take a look at
that.
Oh, wee man, it is so nice, oh,oh.
Look at that, you know, at thevery blank track at the end,
what do you call that?
The ending track, where it'sjust blank and with a needle you
(28:50):
put it on a record player, theneedle hits.
It tells the needle at thatside of the record it's done
because there's no more grooves.
That shiny part in the middlethere's writing in this one, all
capital letters in printingsays MFG, manufacturing by
(29:10):
Specialty Records.
It's written in the vinyl ofthis 45.
Ah, oh, it has something else.
Hold on.
What's?
The other side say Back plate.
Okay, so it says back plate inthat little clear part on the
(29:31):
vinyl there.
Well, the shiny part there atthe end, on this side of that
record where it says back plate,there's nothing in the.
It's a white label but there'snothing.
No writing, no stickers,nothing, no title, just white.
The other side has two stickers.
One says 19,.
(29:51):
It has three stickers One says19,.
These are all by the radiostation 1968.
One says 4030, 4030, and one isa yellow sticker says 497.
Again, those are all put on bythe radio station, but this is a
45 rpm.
It says it's got a little.
It's it's Atlantic RecordingStudios white label, 11 West
(30:13):
60th Street, new York, new York.
But they rushed this one out sofast that someone just on a
typewriter typed on the label.
This isn't even printed onthere, it's just typed on there
the name of the song.
The other side, where it saysback plate, I imagine, it's just
(30:36):
blank.
It has all the grooves but itis just blank.
Nothing on that side.
You could put the needle down,it'll just go towards the end.
I'm sure I've not done that.
So this is as soon as theyrecorded this.
They were in a hurry to getthat out and that's what I have
in my hands right now.
(30:57):
And this is a band or a groupthat really changed their sound
over the decades and becameextremely successful.
But I like some of their oldersongs, like this one I'm about
to play.
This is a song by this groupfrom their 1968 album, idea,
(31:18):
that was released as a singleDecember that year.
It was not released as a singlein the UK.
That's where buyers who couldnot afford the album had to
content themselves with thePolydor version by Heath
Hampstead.
This is the last of thisartist's single to feature Vince
(31:43):
Maloney's guitar work.
He left the band in earlyDecember after the song was
released as a single.
The song B-Side was KilburnTowers, except in France where
Swan Song was used.
This song was written by well,I don't want to give that away
(32:03):
just yet produced with RobertStigwood, and the songs for the
Idea album were completed onJune 20th.
This song was the last to berecorded.
According to one of the membersin the band, the melody of the
(32:28):
song was inspired by the soundson board an airplane.
I am having total deja vu rightnow as I started to read that
I'm having deja vu again.
That's the second time in likea month I'm having such a deja
vu.
Anyhow, the melody to this washeard aboard a British Airways
(32:51):
Vickers Viscount about 100 milesfrom Essen.
It was one of those oldfour-engine prop jobs, according
to one of the authors of thesong and the bandmate that
seemed to a brother, by the wayseemed to drone the passenger
(33:12):
into a sort of hypnotic trance.
Only, with this it wasdifferent.
The droning, after a while,appeared to take the form of a
tune which mysteriously soundedlike a church choir.
So it was decided and weaccosted the pilot, forced him
to land at the nearest villageand there in the small pub, we
finished the lyrics.
(33:32):
And actually it wasn't avillage, it was the city and it
wasn't a pub, it was a hotel.
And we didn't force the pilot,he just landed in a field.
But why ruin a perfectly goodstory?
There was a lot of that inthose days this man laughed, a
lot of psychedelia and the ideathat if you wrote something,
(33:55):
even if it sounded ridiculous,somebody would find it, you know
some meaning for it, and thatthat was the truth Anyhow.
So it did very well.
Number six on the US cash box.
Number six on the US billboardhot 101 in New Zealand.
(34:16):
One in Denmark, canada, brazil,australia.
You know this was the earlyversion of this group which,
again, like I say, ended upbeing a hugely successful group.
(34:37):
And they were successful backthen Robin and Barry and Maurice
, otherwise known as the bgs.
I started a joke.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Which started the whole world crying.
But I didn't see that the jokewas on me.
Oh no, I started to cry, whichstarted the whole world laughing
(35:32):
.
Oh, if I'd only seen that thejoke was on me.
I looked at the skies runningmy hands over my eyes and I fell
(36:05):
out of bed, hurting my headfrom things that I said Till I
finally died, which started thewhole world living.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Thank you for listening to my podcast, very,
very grateful.
Thank you so much.
You have yourself a beautifulrest of your Wednesday.
All right, we'll see youtomorrow.
We'll see you on the radio.
Good morning.
Good morning, how are you?
Hey, it's a beautiful,beautiful morning.
I love it out here.
I'm out on the back deck forthe Pat's Peeps podcast.
In my mind it seems like asignificant number 275.
I don't know if that's amilestone or not.
(00:41):
I don't know if that's amilestone or not, but it seems
like it this morning, on thisgorgeous day.
This is the fourth day of June2025.
It is a Wednesday and the caris going by down there on the
road.
I mean, it's just so nice to belooking out into the beautiful
foothills of Northern Californiaand wherever you are.
(01:04):
Thank you so very much forlistening to the Pats Peeps
podcast.
We continue to build ourpodcast family.
A couple of interesting thingson that today.
By the way, on the podcast, Ihad a conversation I won't tell
you who it was with just yet,but I will tell you momentarily
(01:24):
who it was with who described mypodcast as well as my radio
show.
By the way, just in case youdon't know, my name is Pat Walsh
.
I'm the host of the Pat WalshShow, as heard on KFBK Radio in
Sacramento and 93.1 FM 1530 AM,and, of course, you can hear
(01:44):
both my show and my podcast onall of your streaming platforms
as we continue every day tobuild our audience here.
Well, already I'll tell youthis.
I had a good day already.
You know I had a good day.
Now, to many of you, you may goGod, that just sounds like a
horrible day.
That sounds horrible, patrick.
Well, not to me.
(02:05):
I went to the garbage dump thismorning.
I went to the landfill, that'sright.
Went to the landfill.
I don't know what it is.
I've mentioned before in aprevious podcast, I believe I
like to get in the truck.
You know, you finally realizeyou've got enough stuff loaded
(02:27):
up in the truck.
If you're lucky enough to havea truck, which are unbelievably,
ridiculously expensive thesedays, and my 99 Silverado,
353,000 miles on a run like achampion, yes, this Z71
four-wheel drive standard cab,get into the truck.
Throw on skid row by merlehaggard.
(02:49):
Yeah, there's just somethingabout it.
I love listening to this superold school country and going to
the dump, pulling up there in mytruck.
How you doing, man, goodmorning, good morning, you got a
(03:12):
lot of stuff here.
Let's say, yeah, okay, throwthe metal over there.
Yeah, I'm over there throwingmy stuff out.
It's a good start to the day.
Maybe it's one of those thingsthat you just can't explain why
you like that.
Some people would think, geezman, you like going to the dump?
I don't know.
I'm going to associate it very,very much with the fact that I
(03:34):
used to go with my pops.
You know, I think my mom toowould go to the dump every once
in a while.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
But you know that old country music would be playing
my dad had a 59 Ford F100.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Of course I have a 54 F100.
I don't think it's acoincidence.
Listen to that guitar, yeah.
So, man, you might think that'sstrange, I don't.
It's just like this memoryassociated with my childhood
(04:08):
that is a really fond memory.
Speaking of memories associatedwith childhood, thank you to
Robin, the Interrupter, who sentme an article that really is
associated with that very topic.
I was just looking at that,robin.
Thank you, I'll do that on myradio show tonight.
We'll discuss that.
We'll find out where you are interms of siblings in the order
(04:31):
of siblings on the Pat Walshshow here this evening, on this
Wednesday night.
So I got the day started likethat, which was again a blessing
, and yeah it's always nice.
And then a stop to the goodwill.
Brought the goodwill some nicethings this morning.
I always like doing that.
(04:51):
You contribute to me because wewere just talking about the
goodwill on my radio show Notjust goodwill but all the
secondhand shops, and I alwaysmake sure it's something that's
fairly nice, that they can use.
I don't give them junk, I givethem things that are still very
nice.
I'm just kind of done with it.
I need to give it.
Someone else can use it morethan I can.
(05:12):
So really a nice morning, theweather, as I say, delightful.
There's a breeze, I don't know,it might be in the 80s today,
no big deal.
Got a good, very rare copy ofthis record for the end of the
(05:33):
show tonight.
I mean this one is.
That is a super rare record asI look at it.
You know, as I always try toplay a little music at the end
of my show, I did want tomention today that it's been a
couple of days now and I did notmention this on my Pat's Peeps
on my podcast yet.
But I want to pay my respect toBig Jim Marshall, who was an
(05:58):
NFL Ironman who played with theMinnesota Vikings.
I mentioned it a couple ofpodcasts ago, two days ago,
which would have been what Iguess 273.
My brother Jim's birthday.
That Jim is a Vikings fan and aRed Sox fan.
Well, growing up I talked aboutthe rivalry that we share
(06:21):
between the Rams and the Vikings.
And yeah, the Rams had thefearsome force.
And well, jim Marshall was partof the Purple People leaders,
the Minnesota Vikings defense ofthe late 60s into the 70s.
Jim Marshall, who was 87 yearsold, was a part of that defense
(06:41):
and he passed away.
You know, jim Marshall.
The one thing about Jim Marshalland, by the way, that's back
when the Vikings uniforms lookedmuch better, sorry, but so did
the Rams.
You know, jim Marshall,unfortunately for him.
(07:02):
You know, jim Marshall,unfortunately for him, his
career is people remember oneplay.
You know you have this greatcareer and people remember one
play.
Oh sure, it was a very uniqueplay.
You don't?
I don't believe I've ever I'veseen it since.
I don't think I saw it before.
(07:24):
It can't be the only time.
I did not.
I did not do the research onthat, doesn't really matter.
But you know he gets rememberedso often after this great
career which should be a hall offame career, I would say, for
the infamous wrong way run in1964 against the Minnesota
(07:46):
Vikings, where he picks the ballup on a fumble and he's running
to what he thinks is going tobe a touchdown for his team.
Unfortunately, he is runningthe wrong way.
Everyone who is a football fanand if you've been a football
fan for a number of years knowsexactly what I'm talking about.
(08:06):
But the fact is that JimMarshall started 270 consecutive
regular season games for theVikings from 1961 to 1979.
And when you think about 270consecutive regular season games
and he retires in 79, you'retalking about an era of football
(08:29):
where these guys hit.
Nowadays, some of the hits thatthese guys did, you know now
it'd be a penalty.
Every play would be a penalty.
These guys meant business.
This is football.
This isn't flag.
This isn't touch.
This is football.
This isn't flag.
This isn't touch.
This is football.
You know that you came on thefield for the intent to hit
(08:53):
someone or be hit or to avoidbeing hit, and this man in that
era started 270 consecutivegames.
That's still the record, by theway, for a defender in the NFL.
When Brett Favre set theconsecutive starts record in
September of 2009,.
(09:15):
That was Jim Marshall's recordthat he broke Consecutive starts
, came out of Ohio State andhelped the Minnesota Vikings
reach the Super Bowls Four SuperBowls in the 70s.
They again are the hard luckteam, along with the Buffalo
(09:35):
Bills, in terms of Super Bowllosses, although you can almost
put the 49ers in that category.
But you can't because the 49ershave a lot of wins too.
So I would never do that Muchrespect to all of these teams.
Quite frankly, it's not easy.
But he comes out of Ohio State.
He becomes part of the vauntedand famed Purple People leaders
(09:58):
defense.
It was a defensive line withthree-time All-Pro.
A two-time Pro Bowler served asa team captain for 14
consecutive seasons.
Kind of reminds me of MerlinOlsen in A Way for the Rams, who
went to 14 straight Pro Bowls,played alongside some other
greats Roger Brown and LamarLunday, deacon Jones, rosie
Greer.
(10:18):
But anyhow, marshall began hiscareer in the CFL, drafted by
the Cleveland Browns in 1960.
That was a fine year, by theway.
Then he was traded to theexpansion Vikings who came about
that year.
I'm kind of surprised thatdidn't turn out to be a Vikings
fan.
I guess the Cowboys came fromthat year too.
In the 2000s NFL films rankedhim as the second best player,
(10:44):
not in the Pro Football Hall ofFame and they need to correct
that.
But his most famous momentunfortunately for him, and he
was a good sport about this washis wrong way run during a game.
October 25th 1964, marshallscooped up a fumble by San
(11:06):
Francisco 49ers running backBilly Kilmer.
I remember him.
I remember him more for theRedskins than I do the 49ers,
but he returned it 66 yards intohis own end zone for his safety
.
He said he saw the ball comeloose, saw the goal post, picked
(11:28):
it up and ran.
But it is included in the manygreat moments that Jim Marshall
experienced in his illustriouscareer.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
The horse was a player to whom many generations
of Viking fans looked upon asbeing immortal.
He was a defensive end andphilosopher named Jim Marshall.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
NFL.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Films production To dare mighty things, to win
glorious triumphs, even thoughcheckered with failure, than to
be ranked with those poor soulswho neither enjoy much nor
suffer much, for they live inthat gray twilight that knows
not victory nor defeat, teddy.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Roosevelt, jim Marshall sought adventure
Adventure, however, for, good orbad, never had a problem
finding him.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
Myra straight back to pass Looking.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I just want to interrupt right here as this
play begins.
I've said it before and I'mgoing to say it again as a Rams
and Dodger fan, as a VinceScully fan, charlie Stein or
Rick Monday all of them.
This is Lon Simmons doing hiscall, one of my very favorites,
(12:49):
who broadcasts for the Giantsand the Niners.
I love his voice and his call.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Myra straight back to pass.
Looking Stops, stops.
Throws Myra straight back topass.
Looking stops, throws,completes it to Kilmer up at the
30 yard line.
Kilmer, driving for the firstdown, loses the football.
It's picked up by Jim Marshallwho's running the wrong way.
Marshall is running the wrongway and he's running it into the
end zone the wrong way.
Thinks he's scored a touchdown.
(13:17):
He has scored a safety.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Only someone who has brushed with death off the field
could ever survive this cooltwist of fate on it.
For Jim Marshall wrong way runspale in comparison to his
life-threatening endeavors.
From a Rocky Mountainsnowmobile expedition that left
one member of his party dead tonumerous other encounters into
(13:44):
the unknown, the life and timesof Jim Marshall reads like a
Hollywood horror show scary andhumorous and hard to believe.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
The little silver things were dancing in front of
my eyes and I kind of felt likethis might be it, you know, and
it was.
It was a little little strangeto to feel that way after having
been, you know, the athlete andnever quitting, and all those,
all those things, and I said,boy, you, you've really f***ed
up.
(14:15):
You, you have really f***ed up,you are going to die.
I watched all my limbs break asI hit the ground.
I watched my legs snap and myfoot come up into my groin, held
on by the calf muscle.
Somebody had encephalitisaccidentally shooting himself a
hang glider crash here, the boneof the leg stuck down in the
(14:38):
ground.
I remember sitting up in thebed and blood just kind of
started running down my face.
It was just pumping out theartery that had been nicked, had
deteriorated and burst.
This story is making me sick.
I didn't get to the good part.
They lost me on that one on theoperating table, and I remember
(14:59):
being up looking back at myselflaying on the table and I told
them everything that they did.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
No, they never lost Jim Marshall.
Ironically, over the course of20 years on the playing field,
he hardly suffered a scratch.
By playing in 282 consecutivegames, marshall established an
NFL record of endurance that maynever be broken.
(15:28):
He also went on to run theright way with his fumble
recovery In Minnesota.
Marshall was not merely admired.
He was worshipped by his fans,his teammates and even his long
(15:50):
time legendary coach.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Jim Marshall was a special kind of person.
I always called him Mr Marshalland we had a good relationship.
He was our captain as long ashe was here.
He was exactly what a captainshould be, and if I would say,
okay, guys, let's do this, jimMarshall will be first in line.
And if we had a rookie in thelineup and say, well there goes,
jim Marshall doing this fullspeed, full bore, played 15
(16:18):
years, hey, I got to do it, andthose are the kind of people you
have to have in a football team.
Jim Marshall was very special.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
That was Bud Grant.
We do often mistakenly believethat professional athletes are
immortal, but the man carryingthe football here may well have
been the exception, for if everthere was an indestructible
football player, he was number70 for the Minnesota Vikings, a
maverick named Jim Marshall.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Rest in peace.
Nfl Films.
Thank you, great job.
And Jim Marshall wow, what aplayer.
Much respect to Jim Marshall,god.
He had a lot of terribleaccidents, didn't he?
You're listening to Pat's Peeps275.
I'm very, very grateful forthat, you know.
(17:10):
On a completely other note, Ihad an interesting conversation.
This thing popped up on mysocial feed, social network feed
.
This thing pops up and I reallydon't know exactly.
This is from Facebook.
I don't even know how I gotinto this.
(17:33):
I honestly don't.
I must have clicked a buttonbecause, anyhow, all of a sudden
I see this thing and I'm likewhat is this?
And I had this conversationwith Meta.
Meta is an AI voice More than avoice, I guess, but I don't
(17:57):
know.
I thought I would share thisoff-the-cuff conversation.
Didn't have this planned.
It popped up, so I tookadvantage.

meaning and fulfillment to yourlife.

What can you tell us about the Pat's Peeps podcast in
terms of trying to support thecommunity and local business and
trying to give the audiencegreat deals in terms of visiting
local businesses?

The Pat's Peeps podcast seems to prioritize
supporting local businesses andcommunity engagement.
Pat highlights variousbusinesses and organizations,
potentially giving them exposureand promoting community
involvement.
By featuring local businesses,he might be helping to drive
interest and support for theseestablishments, which can have a
positive impact on the localeconomy.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
One potential strategy could be to further

One potential strategy could beto further leverage social
media to promote the podcast andengage with listeners.
You could also considerfeaturing a wider range of local
businesses and organizations orexploring different formats
like live recordings or Q&Asessions.
Collaborating with other localinfluencers or podcasters might
help expand the audience.
Additionally, gatheringfeedback from listeners could
(22:39):
provide valuable insights forfuture content and direction.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Do you think the Pats Peeps podcast will be even more
successful if I were to take iton the road and do remote
podcasts from various events?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Interesting question.
Taking the podcast on the roadand doing remote recordings from
various events could be a greatway to reach new audiences and
create fresh content.
It would allow Pat to connectwith people in different
settings and showcase localbusinesses and events in a more
dynamic way.
If executed well, it coulddefinitely add a new layer of
excitement and engagement to thepodcast and engagement to the
(23:19):
podcast.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Do you believe that it is a good idea to add a video
or YouTube component to myaudio-only podcast?
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Adding a video component to an audio-only
podcast can be beneficial.
It allows you to reach abroader audience and provide a
visual element that mightenhance the listener's
experience.
You could record video footageof your podcast episodes or
create short clips to share onYouTube.
This might attract new viewersand potentially drive traffic to
your podcast.
However, it's also important toconsider whether the video
(23:47):
component will add significantvalue to the content or if it's
more of a supplementary feature.
A supplementary feature in thissituation might be adding
visuals like images or graphicsto the YouTube version of the
podcast, but not necessarilyhaving a direct impact on the
audio content itself.
This could enhance the viewer'sexperience without changing the
core podcast format.
(24:08):
Alternatively, you could createbehind-the-scenes content or
bonus footage that's separatefrom the main podcast episodes.
From what I gather, listenersseem to appreciate the mix of
topics on Pat's Peeps podcast.
Some enjoy the heartfelt andserious conversations, while
others appreciate the lighter,more entertaining moments.
It appears that Pat'sauthenticity and vulnerability
(24:30):
resonate with listenersregardless of the topic.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
You've never listened to my Pat's Peeps podcast, yet
you seem to know so much aboutthe podcast.
How is that possible?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
I've been trained on a vast amount of text data,
which allows me to generateresponses based on patterns and
information available up to mycutoff date.
While I haven't directlylistened to the Pat's Peeps
podcast, I've likely beentrained on text data that
mentions or discusses thepodcast, its themes or Pat
Walsh's style.
This training enables me tomake educated guesses and
(25:02):
provide information that seemsrelevant to the conversation.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Allow me to compliment you on your knowledge
and your feedback and I thankyou.
Speaker 3 (25:13):

Pat Walsh is talking about thestorm.
Grab your coat, keep yourselfwarm.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Yeah, storm music.
That's what that was stormmusic.
Ladies and gentlemen, let's seehow about I play this.
This is a record I plucked frommy rare 45 collection and when
I say where this is really hasto be, so where I'm going to
pull it out of its sleeve, hereit's got the generic radio
station sleeve.
(28:29):
Looking at the record itself,the vinyl, let me take a look at
that.
Oh, wee man, it is so nice, oh,oh.
Look at that, you know, at thevery blank track at the end,
what do you call that?
The ending track, where it'sjust blank and with a needle you
(28:50):
put it on a record player, theneedle hits.
It tells the needle at thatside of the record it's done
because there's no more grooves.
That shiny part in the middlethere's writing in this one, all
capital letters in printingsays MFG, manufacturing by
(29:10):
Specialty Records.
It's written in the vinyl ofthis 45.
Ah, oh, it has something else.
Hold on.
What's?
The other side say Back plate.
Okay, so it says back plate inthat little clear part on the
(29:31):
vinyl there.
Well, the shiny part there atthe end, on this side of that
record where it says back plate,there's nothing in the.
It's a white label but there'snothing.
No writing, no stickers,nothing, no title, just white.
The other side has two stickers.
One says 19,.
(29:51):
It has three stickers One says19,.
These are all by the radiostation 1968.
One says 4030, 4030, and one isa yellow sticker says 497.
Again, those are all put on bythe radio station, but this is a
45 rpm.
It says it's got a little.
It's it's Atlantic RecordingStudios white label, 11 West
(30:13):
60th Street, new York, new York.
But they rushed this one out sofast that someone just on a
typewriter typed on the label.
This isn't even printed onthere, it's just typed on there
the name of the song.
The other side, where it saysback plate, I imagine, it's just
(30:36):
blank.
It has all the grooves but itis just blank.
Nothing on that side.
You could put the needle down,it'll just go towards the end.
I'm sure I've not done that.
So this is as soon as theyrecorded this.
They were in a hurry to getthat out and that's what I have
in my hands right now.
(30:57):
And this is a band or a groupthat really changed their sound
over the decades and becameextremely successful.
But I like some of their oldersongs, like this one I'm about
to play.
This is a song by this groupfrom their 1968 album, idea,
(31:18):
that was released as a singleDecember that year.
It was not released as a singlein the UK.
That's where buyers who couldnot afford the album had to
content themselves with thePolydor version by Heath
Hampstead.
This is the last of thisartist's single to feature Vince
(31:43):
Maloney's guitar work.
He left the band in earlyDecember after the song was
released as a single.
The song B-Side was KilburnTowers, except in France where
Swan Song was used.
This song was written by well,I don't want to give that away
(32:03):
just yet produced with RobertStigwood, and the songs for the
Idea album were completed onJune 20th.
This song was the last to berecorded.
According to one of the membersin the band, the melody of the
(32:28):
song was inspired by the soundson board an airplane.
I am having total deja vu rightnow as I started to read that
I'm having deja vu again.
That's the second time in likea month I'm having such a deja
vu.
Anyhow, the melody to this washeard aboard a British Airways
(32:51):
Vickers Viscount about 100 milesfrom Essen.
It was one of those oldfour-engine prop jobs, according
to one of the authors of thesong and the bandmate that
seemed to a brother, by the wayseemed to drone the passenger
(33:12):
into a sort of hypnotic trance.
Only, with this it wasdifferent.
The droning, after a while,appeared to take the form of a
tune which mysteriously soundedlike a church choir.
So it was decided and weaccosted the pilot, forced him
to land at the nearest villageand there in the small pub, we
finished the lyrics.
(33:32):
And actually it wasn't avillage, it was the city and it
wasn't a pub, it was a hotel.
And we didn't force the pilot,he just landed in a field.
But why ruin a perfectly goodstory?
There was a lot of that inthose days this man laughed, a
lot of psychedelia and the ideathat if you wrote something,
(33:55):
even if it sounded ridiculous,somebody would find it, you know
some meaning for it, and thatthat was the truth Anyhow.
So it did very well.
Number six on the US cash box.
Number six on the US billboardhot 101 in New Zealand.
(34:16):
One in Denmark, canada, brazil,australia.
You know this was the earlyversion of this group which,
again, like I say, ended upbeing a hugely successful group.
(34:37):
And they were successful backthen Robin and Barry and Maurice
, otherwise known as the bgs.
I started a joke.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Which started the whole world crying.
But I didn't see that the jokewas on me.
Oh no, I started to cry, whichstarted the whole world laughing
(35:32):
.
Oh, if I'd only seen that thejoke was on me.
I looked at the skies runningmy hands over my eyes and I fell
(36:05):
out of bed, hurting my headfrom things that I said Till I
finally died, which started thewhole world living.
Speaker 1 (36:25):

very grateful.
