Milestone moments and exciting announcements fill episode 297 as we steadily approach the big 300 mark! Broadcasting from the foothills of Northern California with weed eaters working diligently in the background, I'm sharing some truly electrifying news for music lovers.
The legendary Robin Trower—one of my top five favorite rock guitarists of all time—has agreed to appear on the Pat's Peeps podcast! But that's not all. Potential appearances by country icon Marty Stewart and rock band Everclear (whose "AM Radio" I play at the start of every radio show) might also be in our future. These conversations represent dream opportunities for me as both a broadcaster and lifelong music fan.
Media appearances are stacking up as we prepare to promote our Pat's Peeps community events. I'll be on Fox 40's Studio Live with Gary Gelfand and Scott Moak on Thursday, followed by filling in for Sam Shane on The Shane Reaction on Friday. The biggest news? Our upcoming Pat's Peeps gathering at the State Fair, tentatively scheduled for July 22-24 at the Save Mart Wine Bar area. This marks a significant push for the business side of our podcast community.
The episode takes a fascinating turn as I share clips from Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd's recent "Fool Around and Find Out Operation" targeting human trafficking, with his colorful commentary on the 255 arrests made. I also reflect on rewatching the 1971 Clint Eastwood film "Play Misty For Me" about a radio DJ stalked by an obsessed listener—a movie that still sends chills down the spine of anyone working in radio.
As we close with Christopher Cross's "Sailing" (which reminds me of beautiful Portofino), I extend an invitation to join our Pat's Peeps Tour to Sicily this October. Whether you're a longtime listener or just discovering us, there's never been a better time to become part of our growing community.

My friends, I don't even hidethe noise anymore, I like it.
Pat's Peeps podcast $2.97,.
My friends, I don't even hidethe noise anymore, I like it.
So I tortured myself.
Being a radio guy.
I tortured myself with the everwith the movie.
They will always torture radiopeople.
Clint Eastwood I love the movie.
I hadn't seen it in a long time.
Freaked me out as bad as itever did.
(14:01):
Anyone remember the 1971 moviePlay Misty for Me, but that
movie there if you're in radio,that movie there scared the heck
out of you.
It's about a stalker.
I think I'm going to tellstalker stories on my show
(14:24):
tonight because Jessica Walterwas awesome.
Clint Eastwood great plays aradio host.
Jessica Walter plays anobsessed listener and believe me
when I tell you I've had thosein the past and I'm going to.
I've had stalker stories thatI'm going to share on my radio
(14:46):
show tonight.
But when I watched the movieman oh man, it brought back some
memories and some thoughts, andit can be very scary.
She says play Misty for me.
She's scary in this.
Play Misty for me.
Yeah, for Clint Eastwood.
(15:12):
An invitation to terror.
Isn't that?
Isn't that?
Who is that voice?
Isn't that?
Who is that?
Is that the guy that playedcanon?
Oh god, find yourself beingcompletely smothered by somebody
.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
there's no escape in passion, there's no escape in
speed, there's no escape fromterror.
You will change your locks, huh.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Is that, william Conrad?
Nobody asked you to wait forhim, You're not jumping me
buster blue eyes.
Is that William Conrad?
Oh, my god, terrifying.
Yeah, yeah, krml Radio back.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Play misty for me krml radio, terrifying words
you'll ever hear.
Play misty.
For me the screen's mostfrightening plunge into terror.
Have to get you all nice fordavid.
I hope he likes what he seeswhen he walks in here I got some
stories to share with youbecause that's what he's taking
to hell with him.
Just hope we're lucky enough tograb her the next time she
(16:25):
tries it.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Tries what you know To kill you.
The next scream you hear willbe your own Jeez.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I mean this is as good as Fatal Attraction.
Remember that one, ClintEastwood Play Misty for me.
I bet that had so many screams.
I bet that had so many screamsin the movie theater like Wait
Until Dark.
That might have had more thanWait Until Dark, Lord.
And then you had this song inthere and it just the song is
(17:02):
even haunting, Even though andit's a beautiful song, even
though it's during a part of themovie where it's kind of just
showing you part of Carmel bythe Sea.
Remember when they used to havethat ad Carmel by the Sea?
It just so happens to be.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
It just so happens to be.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
The most beautiful place in the world.
Anyone remember that ad 1970sbaby Roberta Flack Rose in your
eyes.
And I can never listen to thissong the same again, Just cause
(17:52):
it's attached to this movie.
And no, I don't own the rightsto that.
Stop, Thank you, but anyhow.
So tonight I think I will getinto that Stalker Stories and do
a little review of a movie thatis from 1971.
(18:14):
But that's okay.
That was a huge movie and againit's still a nightmare to
people that work in radio.
Dave Garver was Clint Eastwood'sname in this movie.
He played a DJ on KRML Radioand, believe me, most of the
stalkers that I've had to dealwith from radio, not from
(18:37):
relationships, um, we're inmusic radio, not necessarily
talk radio, but music radio ofall things Can you imagine.
But Dave Garver is supposedlybroadcast nightly from a studio,
like I do, but he's inCarmel-by-the-Sea.
He would incorporate poetryinto his program and he had that
(19:02):
little convertible.
I drive a convertible, he had alittle convertible, I drive a
convertible, he had a littleconvertible.
Go to his favorite bar, playthis little game at the bar with
like corks and bottle caps.
With a guy working at the barand Evelyn Draper is this
woman's name that becomes justcrazed, and that's Jessica
(19:24):
Walter.
She does a great job, man.
My yard's looking good outthere, Looking really good, so
we'll get into that tonight.
Let's see what else.
Oh, let's just I kind of like Isay it's going to be a little
shorter today, so I could haveclosed it with that, but I think
(19:46):
I did pull a record from mycollection today so I'm not
going to close it with RobertaFlack because I think that I
have a little more upliftingsong.
In fact it reminds me ofPortofino now, when we were in
Portofino, Italy.
If you would like to go toSicily with us the Pat's Peeps
(20:08):
Tour coming up October 25th toNovember 5th go to
conservativetourscom and lookfor the Pat Walsh trip to Sicily
.
We're going to go to Sicily forthe fall.
We would love to have you joinour Pat's Peeps group of
wonderful people.
But this one came up when I wasin Italy.
It came up.
(20:29):
I used it in a video, one of mydigital postings, because it
fits so well in Portofino.
It was so beautiful, 1979, it'ssoft rock, Call it yacht rock,
whatever you want to call it.
I do like this one, Written andrecorded by an American
singer-songwriter, released in1980, June of 80.
Second single from hisself-titled debut album, which
(20:52):
was already certified gold bythe time this was released, Huge
success in the United Stateswent to number one on the
Billboard Hot 100 chart August30th 1980, stayed there for a
week.
It won Grammy Awards for Recordof the Year, Song of the Year,
Arranger of the Year.
It helped this artist win theBest New Artist Award.
(21:12):
Vh1 named this song the mostsoft-sational soft rock song of
all time.
It was recorded in 1979 usingthe 3M digital recording system,
made it one of the firstdigitally recorded songs to
chart and in his Grammyappearance speech he
(21:35):
acknowledged this song as hisfavorite song on the album and
that originally it was not meantto be even a single.
But it fit perfectly inPortofino and that beautiful
water and everything surroundingit.

So I tortured myself.
Being a radio guy.
I tortured myself with the everwith the movie.
They will always torture radiopeople.
Clint Eastwood I love the movie.
I hadn't seen it in a long time.
Freaked me out as bad as itever did.
(14:01):
Anyone remember the 1971 moviePlay Misty for Me, but that
movie there if you're in radio,that movie there scared the heck
out of you.
It's about a stalker.
I think I'm going to tellstalker stories on my show
(14:24):
tonight because Jessica Walterwas awesome.
Clint Eastwood great plays aradio host.
Jessica Walter plays anobsessed listener and believe me
when I tell you I've had thosein the past and I'm going to.
I've had stalker stories thatI'm going to share on my radio
(14:46):
show tonight.
But when I watched the movieman oh man, it brought back some
memories and some thoughts, andit can be very scary.
She says play Misty for me.
She's scary in this.
Play Misty for me.
Yeah, for Clint Eastwood.
(15:12):
An invitation to terror.
Isn't that?
Isn't that?
Who is that voice?
Isn't that?
Who is that?
Is that the guy that playedcanon?
Oh god, find yourself beingcompletely smothered by somebody
.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
there's no escape in passion, there's no escape in
speed, there's no escape fromterror.
You will change your locks, huh.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Is that, william Conrad?
Nobody asked you to wait forhim, You're not jumping me
buster blue eyes.
Is that William Conrad?
Oh, my god, terrifying.
Yeah, yeah, krml Radio back.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Play misty for me krml radio, terrifying words
you'll ever hear.
Play misty.
For me the screen's mostfrightening plunge into terror.
Have to get you all nice fordavid.
I hope he likes what he seeswhen he walks in here I got some
stories to share with youbecause that's what he's taking
to hell with him.
Just hope we're lucky enough tograb her the next time she
(16:25):
tries it.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Tries what you know To kill you.
The next scream you hear willbe your own Jeez.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I mean this is as good as Fatal Attraction.
Remember that one, ClintEastwood Play Misty for me.
I bet that had so many screams.
I bet that had so many screamsin the movie theater like Wait
Until Dark.
That might have had more thanWait Until Dark, Lord.
And then you had this song inthere and it just the song is
(17:02):
even haunting, Even though andit's a beautiful song, even
though it's during a part of themovie where it's kind of just
showing you part of Carmel bythe Sea.
Remember when they used to havethat ad Carmel by the Sea?
It just so happens to be.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
It just so happens to be.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
The most beautiful place in the world.
Anyone remember that ad 1970sbaby Roberta Flack Rose in your
eyes.
And I can never listen to thissong the same again, Just cause
(17:52):
it's attached to this movie.
And no, I don't own the rightsto that.
Stop, Thank you, but anyhow.
So tonight I think I will getinto that Stalker Stories and do
a little review of a movie thatis from 1971.
(18:14):
But that's okay.
That was a huge movie and againit's still a nightmare to
people that work in radio.
Dave Garver was Clint Eastwood'sname in this movie.
He played a DJ on KRML Radioand, believe me, most of the
stalkers that I've had to dealwith from radio, not from
(18:37):
relationships, um, we're inmusic radio, not necessarily
talk radio, but music radio ofall things Can you imagine.
But Dave Garver is supposedlybroadcast nightly from a studio,
like I do, but he's inCarmel-by-the-Sea.
He would incorporate poetryinto his program and he had that
(19:02):
little convertible.
I drive a convertible, he had alittle convertible, I drive a
convertible, he had a littleconvertible.
Go to his favorite bar, playthis little game at the bar with
like corks and bottle caps.
With a guy working at the barand Evelyn Draper is this
woman's name that becomes justcrazed, and that's Jessica
(19:24):
Walter.
She does a great job, man.
My yard's looking good outthere, Looking really good, so
we'll get into that tonight.
Let's see what else.
Oh, let's just I kind of like Isay it's going to be a little
shorter today, so I could haveclosed it with that, but I think
(19:46):
I did pull a record from mycollection today so I'm not
going to close it with RobertaFlack because I think that I
have a little more upliftingsong.
In fact it reminds me ofPortofino now, when we were in
Portofino, Italy.
If you would like to go toSicily with us the Pat's Peeps

conservativetourscom and lookfor the Pat Walsh trip to Sicily
.
We're going to go to Sicily forthe fall.
We would love to have you joinour Pat's Peeps group of
wonderful people.
But this one came up when I wasin Italy.
It came up.
(20:29):
I used it in a video, one of mydigital postings, because it
fits so well in Portofino.
It was so beautiful, 1979, it'ssoft rock, Call it yacht rock,
whatever you want to call it.
I do like this one, Written andrecorded by an American
singer-songwriter, released in1980, June of 80.
Second single from hisself-titled debut album, which
(20:52):
was already certified gold bythe time this was released, Huge
success in the United Stateswent to number one on the
Billboard Hot 100 chart August30th 1980, stayed there for a
week.
It won Grammy Awards for Recordof the Year, Song of the Year,
Arranger of the Year.
It helped this artist win theBest New Artist Award.
(21:12):
Vh1 named this song the mostsoft-sational soft rock song of
all time.
It was recorded in 1979 usingthe 3M digital recording system,
made it one of the firstdigitally recorded songs to
chart and in his Grammyappearance speech he
(21:35):
acknowledged this song as hisfavorite song on the album and
that originally it was not meantto be even a single.
But it fit perfectly inPortofino and that beautiful
water and everything surroundingit.
