Step into the world of one of America's last surviving local radio talk shows with Pat Walsh's Pat's Peeps podcast episode 292. Broadcasting from the beautiful foothills of Northern California, Pat celebrates his growing audience while delivering a unique blend of news analysis, comedy, and music appreciation that mainstream media simply can't match.
At the heart of this episode is Pat's unflinching coverage of a shocking controversy involving Cudahy Vice Mayor Cynthia Gonzalez, who appeared in a social media video seemingly calling on local gang members to impede ICE operations in Los Angeles. With characteristic directness, Pat breaks down the situation, sharing audio of the Vice Mayor questioning where "all the cholos are at" and why they aren't defending their "hood" against what she calls "the biggest gang there is"—ICE. The Department of Homeland Security's response, describing her comments as "despicable" and noting a 500% increase in assaults against ICE officers, adds critical context to this disturbing story.
The podcast seamlessly transitions between serious commentary and entertainment, featuring classic comedy bits including a parody game show called "Catch It and You Keep It," where contestants attempt to catch items thrown from a ten-story building, and a satirical segment about ghosts receiving social security benefits. These moments of levity showcase the freedom and creativity that independent broadcasting enables—a refreshing departure from corporate radio formats.
Music lovers will especially appreciate Pat's deep dive into Elton John's 1974 hit "The Bitch Is Back," complete with fascinating trivia about its creation, controversy, and musical contributors including Dusty Springfield on backing vocals. Pat's personal anecdote about using the song as a "theme song" for a tired colleague showcases the human connection that makes local radio special.
Join the growing Pat's Peeps community for this blend of commentary, comedy, and musical appreciation that reminds us why independent voices matter in today's media landscape. Subscribe now and catch episode 293 tomorrow—this is radio as it was meant to be!

Friday night was a great night.
On my radio show.

Swinsky man.

So, joey, look at you.

Joey, you're a great guy.
And again, brother, I love tosee that you have so many fans.
By the way, if you'd be so kind, I would love it if you would
visit patspeepscom.
That is our website.
Yes, you can get the podcastanywhere, but the other
(05:19):
component is I'm going tocontinue to tell you, because we
want to support local businessis patspeepscom.
We have big things coming up.
I keep telling you that I'mstill waiting for the dates,
today being the last day of June, perhaps I'll have those dates
for you from the state fair PatsPeeps gatherings where I invite
you and other businesses tojoin me, and we're going to do
(05:40):
that my radio show live from thestate fair.
But we're going to talk aboutPat's Peeps, which is just
incredible, and we signed newbusiness last week.
We are here to support you.
Unlike watch this shift oftopics, unlike the vice mayor
(06:01):
excuse me of Cudahy, a littleserious story to drop on you
today Outlandish, ridiculous Inmy estimation.
This so-called vice mayorshould be investigated, should
be arrested.
Cynthia Gonzalez is facingcriticism.
(06:26):
She was on social media Again,vice mayor of this little city,
cudahy, where it appeared morethan appeared in my estimation,
that she urged local gangmembers to impede immigration
operations that are continuingthroughout Los Angeles.
(06:50):
Now the idiotic statement fromour idiotic attorney, damian
Martinez, says that the purposeof the controversial video was
to encourage your localcommunity to exercise their
First Amendment rights to freespeech.
Unfortunately, well, that'sjust not true and all you have
to do is watch it.
If you're going to be honestwith yourself, just watch it.
(07:13):
She is definitely calling outgangs who seem to be well, let's
just say, less thanenthusiastic when it comes now
that ICE is back in town.
So essentially, what she'sencouraging are illegal gangs to
come out and defend their turfagainst an even bigger badder
(07:36):
gang, as she says here, whichshe considers ICE to be the
bigger badder gang, and I justhonestly am blown away by this.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Nbc News 4 LA this video is getting a lot of
traction national attention to.
Like you said, the Departmentof Homeland Security shared it
to their social media account.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
I want to know where all the cholos are at in Los
Angeles, 18th Street, florencia,where's the leadership at?
Because you guys are all aboutterritory.
And this is 18th Street andthis is Florencia.
You guys tag everything upclaiming hood.
And this is 18th Street andthis is Torrance, and you guys
tag everything up claiming hood.
And now that your hood's beinginvaded by the biggest gang
there is, there ain't a peep outof you.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
The DHS identifies the video as the one now deleted
from Carahe Vice Mayor CynthiaGonzalez's Instagram account.
Nbc4 has not independentlyverified its authenticity, but
the DHS called the vice mayor'scomments despicable and wrote,
quote she calls for criminalgangs, including the vicious
18th Street gang, to commitviolence against our brave ICE
(08:45):
law enforcement.
This kind of garbage has led toa more than 500 percent
increase in assaults against ourICE law enforcement officers.
Secretary Noem has been clearif you assault a federal officer
, you will be prosecuted to thefullest extent of the law.
Now the city of Cudahy sharedthis statement prior to the DHS
posting on its social media.
(09:05):
Reading in part the commentsmade by the vice mayor reflect
her personal views and do notrepresent the views or official
position of the city of Cudahy.
By the way, all of this comesabout two weeks after Gonzalez
stood with several SoCal leaderscalling for a stop to
immigration raids.
Now Gonzalez has not respondedto our request for comment.
(09:26):
The FBI is not commenting interms of whether or not this is
now a federal investigation.
Reporting live I'muren coronadofor today in la thank you.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Wow.
So again, the federal agentsworking for the united states,
working for you and I are thebiggest gang and these folks who
defend their home turf, thesegangs should take on the biggest
gang because it's their hometurf, gonzalez, gaining national
attention for these asininecomments appearing to some would
(10:01):
say.
I would say definitely, callingon gang members to take action
to resist the immigrationofficers, the immigration
enforcement operations that aregoing on.
So on my show tonight.
So I don't belabor the point onthis fine monday here on the
podcast, I'll belabor that pointon my show, which will be the
question.
Really, so that you're going toput this under freedom of
(10:23):
speech inciting gangs againstlaw enforcement.
United states law enforcementis um freedom of speech.
That's very interesting, very,very interesting.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
Meanwhile, let's see what else is on, and here's your
host, bob Fenton.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Hi folks.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
For you, newcomers, to catch it and you keep it
here's how we play the game.
Shut up, then you maintain thestatus.
I'm going to question apsychopath.
The Orby has nothing to fear.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
It's time once again to play.
Catch it and you Keep it, andhere's your host.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
Bob Benson.
Hi folks, for you newcomers toCatch it and you Keep it.
Here's how we play the game.
I'm now standing on a balconyon the 10th floor of the CBS
Studios.
The contestants are gatheredbelow me in the parking lot.
My assistants and I will throwprizes down to the crowd and if
they catch them, they keep them.
That's all there is to it.
Now let's turn on the PA systemand start the fun.
(11:23):
Can you hear me, folks?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Me, me, me.
Who's you?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I'm dressed like a tuna.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
Who do we have first Phil?
Speaker 7 (11:31):
Well, Bob, our first contestant is a consulting
engineer who used to play centerfield for his high school
baseball team.
Meet Mr Ronald Hodgson ofCanoga Park, California.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
Well, welcome aboard, ron, and tell me how were you
out there in center field, ron?
Did you drop many?
Speaker 7 (11:48):
Oh, I booted a few.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Well, let's hope you're in top form today, ron,
because I'm holding a 21-jewelBenruss wristwatch.
How would you like to give it atry, you bet?
Then get ready, because here itcomes and he caught it.
Take a look inside the box, ron.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
There's a watch and money.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
Yes, it's a surprise bonus of two crisp hundred
dollar bills.
Now, Ron, I it's a surprisebonus of two crisp $100 bills.
Now, Ron, I'm holding a lovelypiece of American Tourister
luggage.
Would you like to try for it?
Well, I don't know.
I'm going to open this suitcase, Ron, and place inside it a
$500 Spiegel catalog giftcertificate.
Now, how do you feel?
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Can I ask my wife Go for it, Ron Go for it.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
Well, okay, she's the boss.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
It's a bit on the bulky side, so you'll have to be
pretty agile.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
I'll give it a try.
Ron had better be agile indeed,because what he doesn't know is
that, in addition to the $500Spiegel catalog gift certificate
, the suitcase also contains notone, not two, but three solid
gold bars weighing 85 poundseach, and after a 100-foot fall,
this baby's going to carryquite a load.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
Get ready, Ronald Hodgson of Canoga Park,
California, because here itcomes, we are free.
I guess Ron booted another oneand I'm afraid his brand-new
watch got spoiled in the bargainMoving right along.
It's catch-all time when we'lljust toss merchandise over the
(13:22):
side and whoever catches itkeeps it.
Are you ready?
Then here goes Can you describesome of the action, phil?
Speaker 7 (13:30):
Be glad to Bob.
An elderly woman has justsnagged a sunbeam toaster and,
whoops, A Hamilton Beachelectric knife has come down.
Point first, I'm afraid, on aman dressed as some sort of
vegetable.
I think it's a turnip.
Oh, there's something.
A lady was so pleased overcatching a Sears completely
immersible electric coffee makerthat she failed to notice a
plummeting Tappan gas range.
(13:51):
Tappan, the leader in kitchenappliances since 1881.
Most of the contestants managedto dodge the amount of freezer,
but the year's supply of Gainesdog food certainly caused quite
a stir.
Three couples joined up andmade a great try for the dining
room set from Ventura Collectionby Keller.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
Two or three more and they just might have.
There goes the fanfare thatannounces our mystery package.
Remember, this package couldcontain anything from feathers
to lead balloons.
So while the contestants getready, phil will let the home
audience in on the secret.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
Today's mystery package contains a dream house,
that's right.
A prefabricated goldenmedallion home for the ultimate
in total electric living,complete with wall-to-wall
carpeting and a real brickfireplace.
Altogether it weighs over 46tons Are you ready, then here it
comes.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
That about wraps up today's show.
But nobody goes away a loser,because every contestant gets a
Parker Brothers.
Catch it and you keep it gameTo play and enjoy in your own
home, see you tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
You're listening to Pat's Peeps 292.
Your call is very important tous.
Your estimated wait time is 31minutes.
Time is 31 minutes.
Right now we're busy helpingother customers that are
(15:41):
slightly more important than you.
Speaker 8 (15:54):
Thank you for your patience, elon.
You have no right to take awaySocial Security benefits from
millions of Americans over 120years old.
That's right.
It's a constitutional crisis.
That's right, maxine.
It's a threat to our democracy.
Chuck, there is clearly evidenceof fraud happening in Social
Security.
How else to explain the checksgoing to people 140 years old?
Who are these people supposedto be?
(16:14):
Vampires, not exactly, but theanswer is actually much Simpler
than fraud.
You see, there are things inthis world, dead things, many of
them relying heavily ondisability checks.
Chuck, if dead people arereceiving disability checks,
that's fraud.
Let's just say because someoneis dead, that doesn't mean
they're no longer eligible forSocial Security.
Are you guys trying to say thereare ghosts receiving benefits?
(16:35):
It's the only logicalexplanation besides fraud, which
is clearly unlikely.
Can you prove it to me?
Yes, we can Meet us at theCongressional Cemetery tonight
at midnight.
Maybe once you meet someone whodepends on Social Security
checks, you'll change your mindabout cutting them off.
Go ahead, elizabeth.
Right, stopping fraud in SocialSecurity is somehow
(16:57):
anti-democracy.
Who dares disturb my gaykissing?
Oh, it's you.
Where the hell is my socialsecurity check?
I have bills to pay.
You know I'm working on it,benjamin.
You see Elon, without socialsecurity payments, homosexual
ghosts like Benjamin Martincan't afford to eat.
Wait a minute.
You're stopping my benefitsbecause you think it's
impossible to be 130?
I'm 287 years old.
(17:18):
You must be an idiot.
Thank God I have highly ethicalgeniuses like Elizabeth Warren
and Chuck Schumer to watch myback, or who knows what else you
do, won't you?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
listen.
When I first met, you Didn'trealize I can't forget you or
(18:01):
your surprise.
You introduced me to my mindand left me wanting you and your
kind.

Thank you for listening onceagain.
I pulled out a rare record outof my 45 collection today.
This is on what is the name ofthis?
Speaker 4 (21:30):
What is the name of this.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
And, by the way, it has an MCA torn paper cover that
needs to be replaced.
This record is in pretty goodcondition Not the best, but
pretty good.
Let's see.
It is on man OJM.
(21:52):
Huh, I don't know, you justdon't see this one very often.
For sure Black label.
It's got some interestingyellow graphics I I
unfortunately really cannotdescribe to you.
I believe it's.
This came out on mca, so this issome sort of a subsidiary, I
(22:13):
think, of mca.
I don't know what this is, ifit was after market, but it's a
rock song written by thisEnglish musician, very, very
famous and very famoussongwriter.
There's a big hint right there.
These two worked very welltogether, had a lot of hits,
(22:36):
extremely popular.
This was the second singlereleased from this artist's 1974
album and many of you will getit right on the nose when I say
this Caribou went to number onein Canada.
This was his sixth in thatcountry.
Number one hit Went to numberfour in the US, number 15 in the
(23:00):
UK.
I'm surprised it didn't go tonumber one here, because it
really was on the radio all theUS.
Number 15 in the UK.
I'm surprised it didn't go tonumber one here, because it
really was on the radio all thetime for a period there the
lyrics parroting this artist'scelebrity lifestyle.
In the US it was certified gold13th of September 95 by the
(23:22):
Recording Industry Associationof America and the song,
according to the artist said.
The idea was to create the songthat was inspired not by either
the artist nor the songwriterdirectly, but instead by the
songwriter's wife at the time,maxine Fiedelman, who would use
(23:53):
this phrase when the artist wasin a bad mood.
The artist who's singing thesong, the songwriter's wife,
maxine, would use this phrasewhen the artist was in a bad
mood.
The songwriter then wrote thelyrics and then later this
artist would comment you know,it's kind of my theme song,
which I'm going to tell you atrue story.
(24:14):
The song originally is writtenin A-flat major, later performed
live a half step lower in thekey of G major.
According to Cashbox, thisartist and the band were in rare
form here, proving that rockcomes as easily as the ballads
(24:35):
do, that the hooks are awesome,incredible, they said, the
vocals intense, the playing'sjust right on the spot.
Right there Called it arambunctious rouser.
That doesn't mince words.
Now, this is true too.
There was a bit of controversywith this because there were
(24:57):
several radio stations in the USthat refused to play this song.
Radio stations elsewhererefused to play it because of
the word that's in the title andin the song.
The program director in 1976,for example, wpix in New York,
telling Billboard we will playrecords that are borderline,
(25:18):
suggestive records, such asDisco Lady by Johnny Taylor.
However, we will not play thissong by this artist.
We don't play those type ofrecords.
We won't, no matter how popularthey get.
The artist responded to thecontroversy saying yeah, some
(25:39):
radio stations in America aremore puritanical than others.
Oh, that's great.
Well, for those who didn't playit, you know too bad, but it
was played in my area for sure.
When I was working at KFBK asthe sports guy many years ago, I
(26:03):
would play a song for themorning editor at the time, judy
, or maybe it was the afternoon.
Judy might have been in theafternoons Anyhow, it doesn't
really matter, but I'd play asong for her when she she walked
in the room, something shereally liked, like Bruce
Springsteen.
She was from Jersey, so I mightplay something just to lighten
the mood, you know, for her.
(26:23):
And then one time thisco-worker, marna, said gee, it
must be nice to have a themesong every time you walk in the
room.
I wish I had a theme song, pat.
So the next day, into myrecollection, she had to start
coming in early in the mornings,so she.
(26:44):
So she started walking in at Idon't know 5, 30 or whatever in
the morning.
You could tell she was tiredbecause I was too.
And I I said, do you want atheme song?
So lovingly and teasingly for awhile and she loved it.
(27:04):
I would play this as her themesong Elton John, the Bitch Is
Back.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Pat's Peeps 292.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I love that guitar riff.
I think this is one of his bestrockers as a matter of fact, I
can binge.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I can binge, drop a bell on a cue.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
It's the way that I move the thing that I do,
Considering the fact that it wasdirected towards Elton
apparently, I must say he had agreat sense of humor about it.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Turned it right into a huge selling hit record.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
And I do agree.
The band is in really top formthere.
Elton on piano and vocals,davey Johnstone on electric
guitars.
Let's see who's on the saxLenny Pickett is on the tenor
(29:29):
sax, dee Murray on the bass,nigel Olsen drums the Tower of
Power horn section.
Ray Cooper on tambourine, clydeKing backing vocals, shirley
Matthews backing vocals, jesseSmith and Dusty Springfield on
(29:56):

(04:56):

Joey, you're a great guy.
And again, brother, I love tosee that you have so many fans.
By the way, if you'd be so kind, I would love it if you would
visit patspeepscom.
That is our website.
Yes, you can get the podcastanywhere, but the other
(05:19):
component is I'm going tocontinue to tell you, because we
want to support local businessis patspeepscom.
We have big things coming up.
I keep telling you that I'mstill waiting for the dates,
today being the last day of June, perhaps I'll have those dates
for you from the state fair PatsPeeps gatherings where I invite
you and other businesses tojoin me, and we're going to do
(05:40):
that my radio show live from thestate fair.
But we're going to talk aboutPat's Peeps, which is just
incredible, and we signed newbusiness last week.
We are here to support you.
Unlike watch this shift oftopics, unlike the vice mayor
(06:01):
excuse me of Cudahy, a littleserious story to drop on you
today Outlandish, ridiculous Inmy estimation.
This so-called vice mayorshould be investigated, should
be arrested.
Cynthia Gonzalez is facingcriticism.
(06:26):
She was on social media Again,vice mayor of this little city,
cudahy, where it appeared morethan appeared in my estimation,
that she urged local gangmembers to impede immigration
operations that are continuingthroughout Los Angeles.
(06:50):
Now the idiotic statement fromour idiotic attorney, damian
Martinez, says that the purposeof the controversial video was
to encourage your localcommunity to exercise their
First Amendment rights to freespeech.
Unfortunately, well, that'sjust not true and all you have
to do is watch it.
If you're going to be honestwith yourself, just watch it.
(07:13):
She is definitely calling outgangs who seem to be well, let's
just say, less thanenthusiastic when it comes now
that ICE is back in town.
So essentially, what she'sencouraging are illegal gangs to
come out and defend their turfagainst an even bigger badder
(07:36):
gang, as she says here, whichshe considers ICE to be the
bigger badder gang, and I justhonestly am blown away by this.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Nbc News 4 LA this video is getting a lot of
traction national attention to.
Like you said, the Departmentof Homeland Security shared it
to their social media account.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
I want to know where all the cholos are at in Los
Angeles, 18th Street, florencia,where's the leadership at?
Because you guys are all aboutterritory.
And this is 18th Street andthis is Florencia.
You guys tag everything upclaiming hood.
And this is 18th Street andthis is Torrance, and you guys
tag everything up claiming hood.
And now that your hood's beinginvaded by the biggest gang
there is, there ain't a peep outof you.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
The DHS identifies the video as the one now deleted
from Carahe Vice Mayor CynthiaGonzalez's Instagram account.
Nbc4 has not independentlyverified its authenticity, but
the DHS called the vice mayor'scomments despicable and wrote,
quote she calls for criminalgangs, including the vicious
18th Street gang, to commitviolence against our brave ICE
(08:45):
law enforcement.
This kind of garbage has led toa more than 500 percent
increase in assaults against ourICE law enforcement officers.
Secretary Noem has been clearif you assault a federal officer
, you will be prosecuted to thefullest extent of the law.
Now the city of Cudahy sharedthis statement prior to the DHS
posting on its social media.
(09:05):
Reading in part the commentsmade by the vice mayor reflect
her personal views and do notrepresent the views or official
position of the city of Cudahy.
By the way, all of this comesabout two weeks after Gonzalez
stood with several SoCal leaderscalling for a stop to
immigration raids.
Now Gonzalez has not respondedto our request for comment.
(09:26):
The FBI is not commenting interms of whether or not this is
now a federal investigation.
Reporting live I'muren coronadofor today in la thank you.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Wow.
So again, the federal agentsworking for the united states,
working for you and I are thebiggest gang and these folks who
defend their home turf, thesegangs should take on the biggest
gang because it's their hometurf, gonzalez, gaining national
attention for these asininecomments appearing to some would
(10:01):
say.
I would say definitely, callingon gang members to take action
to resist the immigrationofficers, the immigration
enforcement operations that aregoing on.
So on my show tonight.
So I don't belabor the point onthis fine monday here on the
podcast, I'll belabor that pointon my show, which will be the
question.
Really, so that you're going toput this under freedom of
(10:23):
speech inciting gangs againstlaw enforcement.
United states law enforcementis um freedom of speech.
That's very interesting, very,very interesting.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
Meanwhile, let's see what else is on, and here's your
host, bob Fenton.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Hi folks.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
For you, newcomers, to catch it and you keep it
here's how we play the game.
Shut up, then you maintain thestatus.
I'm going to question apsychopath.
The Orby has nothing to fear.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
It's time once again to play.
Catch it and you Keep it, andhere's your host.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
Bob Benson.
Hi folks, for you newcomers toCatch it and you Keep it.
Here's how we play the game.
I'm now standing on a balconyon the 10th floor of the CBS
Studios.
The contestants are gatheredbelow me in the parking lot.
My assistants and I will throwprizes down to the crowd and if
they catch them, they keep them.
That's all there is to it.
Now let's turn on the PA systemand start the fun.
(11:23):
Can you hear me, folks?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Me, me, me.
Who's you?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I'm dressed like a tuna.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
Who do we have first Phil?
Speaker 7 (11:31):
Well, Bob, our first contestant is a consulting
engineer who used to play centerfield for his high school
baseball team.
Meet Mr Ronald Hodgson ofCanoga Park, California.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
Well, welcome aboard, ron, and tell me how were you
out there in center field, ron?
Did you drop many?
Speaker 7 (11:48):
Oh, I booted a few.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Well, let's hope you're in top form today, ron,
because I'm holding a 21-jewelBenruss wristwatch.
How would you like to give it atry, you bet?
Then get ready, because here itcomes and he caught it.
Take a look inside the box, ron.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
There's a watch and money.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
Yes, it's a surprise bonus of two crisp hundred
dollar bills.
Now, Ron, I it's a surprisebonus of two crisp $100 bills.
Now, Ron, I'm holding a lovelypiece of American Tourister
luggage.
Would you like to try for it?
Well, I don't know.
I'm going to open this suitcase, Ron, and place inside it a
$500 Spiegel catalog giftcertificate.
Now, how do you feel?
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Can I ask my wife Go for it, Ron Go for it.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
Well, okay, she's the boss.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
It's a bit on the bulky side, so you'll have to be
pretty agile.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
I'll give it a try.
Ron had better be agile indeed,because what he doesn't know is
that, in addition to the $500Spiegel catalog gift certificate
, the suitcase also contains notone, not two, but three solid
gold bars weighing 85 poundseach, and after a 100-foot fall,
this baby's going to carryquite a load.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
Get ready, Ronald Hodgson of Canoga Park,
California, because here itcomes, we are free.
I guess Ron booted another oneand I'm afraid his brand-new
watch got spoiled in the bargainMoving right along.
It's catch-all time when we'lljust toss merchandise over the
(13:22):
side and whoever catches itkeeps it.
Are you ready?
Then here goes Can you describesome of the action, phil?
Speaker 7 (13:30):
Be glad to Bob.
An elderly woman has justsnagged a sunbeam toaster and,
whoops, A Hamilton Beachelectric knife has come down.
Point first, I'm afraid, on aman dressed as some sort of
vegetable.
I think it's a turnip.
Oh, there's something.
A lady was so pleased overcatching a Sears completely
immersible electric coffee makerthat she failed to notice a
plummeting Tappan gas range.
(13:51):
Tappan, the leader in kitchenappliances since 1881.
Most of the contestants managedto dodge the amount of freezer,
but the year's supply of Gainesdog food certainly caused quite
a stir.
Three couples joined up andmade a great try for the dining
room set from Ventura Collectionby Keller.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
Two or three more and they just might have.
There goes the fanfare thatannounces our mystery package.
Remember, this package couldcontain anything from feathers
to lead balloons.
So while the contestants getready, phil will let the home
audience in on the secret.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
Today's mystery package contains a dream house,
that's right.
A prefabricated goldenmedallion home for the ultimate
in total electric living,complete with wall-to-wall
carpeting and a real brickfireplace.
Altogether it weighs over 46tons Are you ready, then here it
comes.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
That about wraps up today's show.
But nobody goes away a loser,because every contestant gets a
Parker Brothers.
Catch it and you keep it gameTo play and enjoy in your own
home, see you tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
You're listening to Pat's Peeps 292.
Your call is very important tous.
Your estimated wait time is 31minutes.
Time is 31 minutes.
Right now we're busy helpingother customers that are
(15:41):
slightly more important than you.
Speaker 8 (15:54):
Thank you for your patience, elon.
You have no right to take awaySocial Security benefits from
millions of Americans over 120years old.
That's right.
It's a constitutional crisis.
That's right, maxine.
It's a threat to our democracy.
Chuck, there is clearly evidenceof fraud happening in Social
Security.
How else to explain the checksgoing to people 140 years old?
Who are these people supposedto be?
(16:14):
Vampires, not exactly, but theanswer is actually much Simpler
than fraud.
You see, there are things inthis world, dead things, many of
them relying heavily ondisability checks.
Chuck, if dead people arereceiving disability checks,
that's fraud.
Let's just say because someoneis dead, that doesn't mean
they're no longer eligible forSocial Security.
Are you guys trying to say thereare ghosts receiving benefits?
(16:35):
It's the only logicalexplanation besides fraud, which
is clearly unlikely.
Can you prove it to me?
Yes, we can Meet us at theCongressional Cemetery tonight
at midnight.
Maybe once you meet someone whodepends on Social Security
checks, you'll change your mindabout cutting them off.
Go ahead, elizabeth.
Right, stopping fraud in SocialSecurity is somehow
(16:57):
anti-democracy.
Who dares disturb my gaykissing?
Oh, it's you.
Where the hell is my socialsecurity check?
I have bills to pay.
You know I'm working on it,benjamin.
You see Elon, without socialsecurity payments, homosexual
ghosts like Benjamin Martincan't afford to eat.
Wait a minute.
You're stopping my benefitsbecause you think it's
impossible to be 130?
I'm 287 years old.
(17:18):
You must be an idiot.
Thank God I have highly ethicalgeniuses like Elizabeth Warren
and Chuck Schumer to watch myback, or who knows what else you
do, won't you?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
listen.
When I first met, you Didn'trealize I can't forget you or
(18:01):
your surprise.
You introduced me to my mindand left me wanting you and your
kind.

that you might be missing outon here on this fine Monday
afternoon.
Thank you for listening onceagain.
I pulled out a rare record outof my 45 collection today.
This is on what is the name ofthis?
Speaker 4 (21:30):
What is the name of this.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
And, by the way, it has an MCA torn paper cover that
needs to be replaced.
This record is in pretty goodcondition Not the best, but
pretty good.
Let's see.
It is on man OJM.
(21:52):
Huh, I don't know, you justdon't see this one very often.
For sure Black label.
It's got some interestingyellow graphics I I
unfortunately really cannotdescribe to you.
I believe it's.
This came out on mca, so this issome sort of a subsidiary, I
(22:13):
think, of mca.
I don't know what this is, ifit was after market, but it's a
rock song written by thisEnglish musician, very, very
famous and very famoussongwriter.
There's a big hint right there.
These two worked very welltogether, had a lot of hits,
(22:36):
extremely popular.
This was the second singlereleased from this artist's 1974
album and many of you will getit right on the nose when I say
this Caribou went to number onein Canada.
This was his sixth in thatcountry.
Number one hit Went to numberfour in the US, number 15 in the
(23:00):
UK.
I'm surprised it didn't go tonumber one here, because it
really was on the radio all theUS.
Number 15 in the UK.
I'm surprised it didn't go tonumber one here, because it
really was on the radio all thetime for a period there the
lyrics parroting this artist'scelebrity lifestyle.
In the US it was certified gold13th of September 95 by the
(23:22):
Recording Industry Associationof America and the song,
according to the artist said.
The idea was to create the songthat was inspired not by either
the artist nor the songwriterdirectly, but instead by the
songwriter's wife at the time,maxine Fiedelman, who would use
(23:53):
this phrase when the artist wasin a bad mood.
The artist who's singing thesong, the songwriter's wife,
maxine, would use this phrasewhen the artist was in a bad
mood.
The songwriter then wrote thelyrics and then later this
artist would comment you know,it's kind of my theme song,
which I'm going to tell you atrue story.
(24:14):
The song originally is writtenin A-flat major, later performed
live a half step lower in thekey of G major.
According to Cashbox, thisartist and the band were in rare
form here, proving that rockcomes as easily as the ballads
(24:35):
do, that the hooks are awesome,incredible, they said, the
vocals intense, the playing'sjust right on the spot.
Right there Called it arambunctious rouser.
That doesn't mince words.
Now, this is true too.
There was a bit of controversywith this because there were
(24:57):
several radio stations in the USthat refused to play this song.
Radio stations elsewhererefused to play it because of
the word that's in the title andin the song.
The program director in 1976,for example, wpix in New York,
telling Billboard we will playrecords that are borderline,
(25:18):
suggestive records, such asDisco Lady by Johnny Taylor.
However, we will not play thissong by this artist.
We don't play those type ofrecords.
We won't, no matter how popularthey get.
The artist responded to thecontroversy saying yeah, some
(25:39):
radio stations in America aremore puritanical than others.
Oh, that's great.
Well, for those who didn't playit, you know too bad, but it
was played in my area for sure.
When I was working at KFBK asthe sports guy many years ago, I
(26:03):
would play a song for themorning editor at the time, judy
, or maybe it was the afternoon.
Judy might have been in theafternoons Anyhow, it doesn't
really matter, but I'd play asong for her when she she walked
in the room, something shereally liked, like Bruce
Springsteen.
She was from Jersey, so I mightplay something just to lighten
the mood, you know, for her.
(26:23):
And then one time thisco-worker, marna, said gee, it
must be nice to have a themesong every time you walk in the
room.
I wish I had a theme song, pat.
So the next day, into myrecollection, she had to start
coming in early in the mornings,so she.
(26:44):
So she started walking in at Idon't know 5, 30 or whatever in
the morning.
You could tell she was tiredbecause I was too.
And I I said, do you want atheme song?
So lovingly and teasingly for awhile and she loved it.
(27:04):
I would play this as her themesong Elton John, the Bitch Is
Back.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Pat's Peeps 292.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I love that guitar riff.
I think this is one of his bestrockers as a matter of fact, I
can binge.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I can binge, drop a bell on a cue.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
It's the way that I move the thing that I do,
Considering the fact that it wasdirected towards Elton
apparently, I must say he had agreat sense of humor about it.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Turned it right into a huge selling hit record.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
And I do agree.
The band is in really top formthere.
Elton on piano and vocals,davey Johnstone on electric
guitars.
Let's see who's on the saxLenny Pickett is on the tenor
(29:29):
sax, dee Murray on the bass,nigel Olsen drums the Tower of
Power horn section.
Ray Cooper on tambourine, clydeKing backing vocals, shirley
Matthews backing vocals, jesseSmith and Dusty Springfield on
(29:56):
backing vocals.
Thank you for listening.
This bitch will be backtomorrow.
That's Beeps 293.
See you on the radio.
