And then you give

that is a win-win-win.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I like your messages.
By the way, we got a messagefrom Eileen Said she laughed and
laughed.
She said I needed a good laughand I got a great laugh from
your Pats Peeps, number 301.
And was it 301?
I don't know if it was, maybeit was 300.
It was the one where I hadmentioned I don't even know how
(03:49):
it came up came, oh, who was Italking to?
About the?
Oh, the Ken dog.
Oh, someone.
I was talking to someone aboutthe Rocky Horror Picture Show
and I'd said I'd never seen theRocky Horror Picture Show must
have been Ken dog.
Yeah, I've never seen that.
And then I kind of, and then Imentioned one of the reasons.
I said look, don't hold itagainst me literally or
figuratively, but I want but.
(04:11):
But Eileen said she laughed andlaughed because I'd mentioned
something about guys in pantiesand I didn't really have a
chance to explain that.
See, so thank you, eileen.
So here's what happened.
So I'm 18 years old and I'mworking as a fry cook, a line
cook, at Lion's Restaurant.
That's one of the jobs I didbefore I got into radio many,
(04:33):
many years ago.
I worked at like truck stops,like the Iron Skillet in
Wilsonville, oregon, the Union76 Truck Plaza in Aurora, oregon
.
At the Aurora Donald exit,brand new Plaza, I was one of
the first cooks there, colonyKitchen.
(04:53):
I worked at Colony Kitchen,believe that.
And then Lions on Wadden HillCamino.
Like I said, I even had agentleman the other day say hey,
pat, my grandfather knows you,remembered you so well and he
loved Lion's Restaurant over atWatanau Camino but he wouldn't
go in there unless you wereworking because he thought you
were the best fry cook and Iguess I used to make something
(05:16):
for his grandfather that hereally loved.
So that made my heart feel good.
So one day, you know, you have adinner rush when you are at a
restaurant like that, at acertain time of day People come
in, they expect to be fed dinnerand then you have the dinner
(05:37):
rush and the tickets are wrappedaround the ticket wheel.
So in other words, thewaitresses, or they're taking
their orders, they're coming up,they're putting the tickets on
the ticket wheel for the cookand you spin that ticket wheel.
So in other words, thewaitresses, or they're taking
their orders, you're coming up,they're putting the tickets on
the ticket wheel for the cookand you spin that ticket wheel
around and you're looking at itand you're just going, man, you
got burgers and tacos and steaksand whatever you're cooking.
You're just going at it, man,you're trying to get the orders
out quickly.
(05:57):
And so one night and this isright when the Rocky Horror
Picture Show started I didn'tknow anything about it, I just
knew they were singing.
I didn't really know Again, I'm18.
It was new, I didn't know.
(06:19):
So in the midst of this dinnerrush and you can imagine, the
restaurant is the noise of therestaurant, forks and hitting
plates and you know, waitress,people are talking, it's very
busy when all of the sudden aquiet fell over the restaurant,
(06:41):
like it just went quiet.
Now it might do that today, butfor some, you know, I think
maybe we're more, uh, used to it.
I'm still not used to it, I'llbe honest.
I'm just being honest, but atthis time it went quiet.
Now I'm working.
All of a sudden I realized itwent quiet.
(07:01):
Now I'm working.
All of a sudden I realized itwent quiet.
I thought, well, what the heck?
And I look up over the counterthere and there's standing like
four or five guys.
Now later I realized what washappening.
At the time I had no clue and,I don't think anyone in the
restaurant had any clue.
So the Rocky Horror PictureShow must have been playing
(07:23):
right in that area, country clubor wherever.
I don't know wherever thetheater was, and somewhere
within the movie, apparentlythere are I don't know
transsexual.
I don't know what they are, butthey're men with makeup and
panties.
So when you can imagine 1978,four or five dudes walking in
(07:46):
right in the middle of a dinnerrush in nothing but skimpy
panties, makeup on it wasshocking and everyone had to
stop and look, including yourstruly, I couldn't believe it.
Now, you know, for the last fewyears we were in this very woke
(08:15):
culture.
So I don't know, maybe it's ortolerant, more tolerant in terms
of things like that, whatever,but that's what it was.
That was what the story was.
You know, also, when I wasworking there I want to share
this, and I may have said thisbefore, I think I probably did,
because at least I remembertalking about this guy so I'd go
(08:37):
to work at the Lions and theother cook would talk to me
about this guy.
That was so weird.
I think I talked about himalready, but I'll bring it up
again.
Maybe so weird.
I think I talked about himalready, but I'll bring it up
again, maybe you missed it.
So a guy about my age, you go,yeah, man, and he lived in these
apartments down there onMarconi and El Camino in that
area.
He said, man, there's thisweird dude and he would tell me
(08:57):
stories all the time, like thisguy is so weird in our apartment
complex.
And um, one day he said, man,this guy, people were looking in
his window at the apartmentcomplex.
I didn't know what was going on.
(09:18):
So I walk over there to seewhat's going on.
Well, the curtains there's nocurtains hanging on the window.
You're looking in this guy'sapartment, into a living room
and the way it was described tome, there was no furniture in
the living room and there's aguy sitting in there with a
shaved head and this is in thelate 70s.
Well, this would have been like79, probably 79, I think 78 or
(09:42):
79.
And the guy's rubbinggrapefruits or oranges or
something like that on his head.
I thought what on earth?
Anyhow, this guy ends upgetting busted.
And it was Richard TrentonChase the vampire, the
Sacramento vampire, killer thatwas doing this.
(10:05):
They had no idea.
Killer that was doing this.
They had no idea.
And if you check that guy out.
Oh my God, he was truly sick inthe head.
Delusional, psychopath,schizophrenia, whatever he had I
can't really recall top of myhead, but I remember that so
(10:26):
well because the guy he wastelling me about there at Lions
all the time ends up being thisguy, and his crimes are just too
appalling and gruesome for meto even talk about here.
Anyhow, that was a couple ofmemories I have from Lions
restaurant, but Eileen broughtit up because of the panties, so
(10:49):
I wanted to clear all that up.
Let's see what else do we have.
It's such a beautiful day today.
Oh, I had the Clark PestControl out here, ladies and
gentlemen, clark Pest Controlout here to take care of my ant
issue.
Hopefully we'll give you anupdate on that.
The ants have been brutal at myhome.

(11:58):
Mart Wine Tent.
Come out early, as we do my PatWalsh radio show 7 to 10.
You know, I might try to do mypodcast at the same time.
I've never tried that.
I don't know if it's possible,we'll see, but I'm very, very
excited about that.
What else we have going on today?
Oh, last night, what a joke.
The All-Star Game.
(12:20):
What a joke.
This Rob Manfred, who's thegeez?
He's the commissioner of MajorLeague Baseball.
Awful, this guy's got to go.
The National League won theAll-Star Game not just in the
baseball game, but no way todecide it by an unprecedented
home run, derby-like swing off.
(12:42):
What on earth?
The fly ball off JonathanAranda's bat stayed in the park.
National Eagles assembled infront of the home plate dugout,
jumping for joy.
No All-Star game had ever endedlike this.
Thank goodness, this can't bereal.
No, I couldn't figure out whatwas going on.
(13:02):
I was working, but I'm looking,I'm like what's happening here?
I was checking in on it.
No Major League Baseball gamehad ever ended like this.
I mean, this is like this is awiffle ball stuff.
Come on, let's get real withthis.
At Truist Park in Atlanta,national League was up six to
(13:25):
nothing.
The American League came backin the Midsummer Classic tied it
at 6-6.
It's bad enough that they have.
They place a runner in theextra innings in baseball now
rather than making them earn it.
But we got to move the gamealong, got to be shorter, forget
about the fact that football'seven longer and has longer
(13:47):
timeouts.
So 6-6 after nine innings.
And then, oh, we're going tohave a swing off.
So you send up like threebatters or whatever from each
league and then they see who canhit the most home runs and the
National League won that 4-3.
And the National League wonthat 4-3.
(14:12):
I mean, I don't know what'sgoing on here.
It just Kyle Schwarber hadthree swings, given the National
League the victory.
Three swings, he had three homeruns.
(14:32):
Okay, whatever, but that's nothow you play.
This isn't baseball.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
How much pressure are
you feeling?
A little bit, I think a littlebit's there, but you know this
is all fun.
The boys are having fun with itand you know, just hoping to
get enough to set feet up.
Kyle, thanks is all fun, theboys are having fun with it and
you know, just hoping to getenough to set Pete up.
Kyle, thanks, good luck.
This guy's been hitting bighome runs his whole career.
You go back to the five homeruns he hit as a rookie for the
Cubs in the postseason.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
So he goes up to the
plate, kyle Schwarber goes up to
the plate, and this is how thegame is going to end.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Without anybody there
there hitting right here is the
same thing.
There's no outfielders, it'sjust you and the pitcher trying
to launch one early to getwithin one 40 000 eyes, all
burning holes through you,schwarber in the air to center
field, headed towards the walland dead center.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
That's huge for the
national all right, so he gets
one.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
So there you go.
He said if he could get it onhis first swing, and he did he
gets another oh.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Swore bombs in the
all-star game oh.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Tied at three, that's
MVP material.
If he gets a third one righthere, that's MVP material.
If he gets a third one righthere, this guy, if he stopped
playing he'll be a softballsuperstar pretty darn good
baseball superstar.
They all rallied in the gameand now has rallied in the swing
(16:05):
.
Nl has rallied in the swing ofthe bat With the hat trick.
Look out Chophouse.
National League takes the lead4-3.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
And that's how they
won the game.
I don't know, it's just veryinteresting.
As a baseball fan, I want tosee an actual you know the
ending to the game.
They actually the way that theyplay baseball, which isn't that
.
But okay, whatever, I can'tmake a big deal out of it.
(16:35):
But we all know that RosieO'Donnell moved to Ireland
because she just couldn't handlethe fact that Donald Trump is
to blame for everything in theworld.
Donald Trump was asked aboutthat yesterday.
Here's his response on RosieRosie O'Donnell.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
She went on Chris
Cuomo so recently.
She blames you for the factthat she's overweight, depressed
and drunk.
What do you say to that?
Do you think CBS is going toever be a guest in five guys'
movies?
I don't know about Rosie.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I watch Rosie.
Rosie's a mess.
She's a mess, but she left ourcountry, which is a good thing,
not a bad thing.
Meanwhile, on Pat's Peeps 302.
(17:39):
Ozzy Osbourne and BlackSabbath's farewell show Broke a
major record, apparently.
Heavy metal pioneers BlackSabbath recently saying goodbye
to fans with their farewell showBack to the beginning, but they
broke a like I say they broke arecord there.
In doing so, ozzy 76 reunitedwith his former bandmates Tony
(18:04):
Iommi, bill Ward, geezer Butler,for the first time in 20 years,
performing some of theirbiggest hits.
This was on July 5th inBirmingham.
There was a bit of drama.
It was a benefit concert GunsN' Roses, metallica, slayer,
pantera, smashing PumpkinsSteven Tyler was there from
Aerosmith, tom Morello and somany others.
(18:28):
Rage raised a massive amount ofmoney for three charities Cure,
parkinson's, birminghamChildren's Hospital and the
Acorn Children's Hospice.
It has been revealed that Backto the beginning raised more
money than any charity concertsince George Harrison's and Ravi
(18:50):
Shankar's 1971 concert forBangladesh, which was
popularized by the All-StarBenefit shows.
It was, according to Billboard.
According to the musicaldirector, which in this case was
Rage Against the Machineguitarist, tom Morello, this
heavy metal concert I love thatit was heavy metal raised
(19:13):
roughly $190 million incharitable donations, big jump
from the $140 million thatMorello said the event raised in
an earlier event.
Of the event raised in anearlier event.
According to the statements andits charity partners, the
concert, watched by 40,000ticket holders, 5.8 million
(19:36):
individuals online, willdistribute funds equally to
Birmingham Children's Hospital,acorn Children's Hospital and to
cure Parkinson's.
So that was a very nice way togo out if you're Black Sabbath
(20:04):
in Ozzie.
Last organization is dedicatedto finding a cure for cure for
parkinson's.
Which ozzy has the cure cureparkinson's.
He's lived with that since 2019.
Meanwhile, it is unclearwhether the final donation to
each charity will be whatthat'll be to each one, each
(20:24):
charity revealing that they wereable to raise tens of thousands
of pounds in additionaldonations by raffling off
tickets to the show, auctioningoff iconic art band photographs
donated by Black Sabbath,through individual contributions
from fans as they streamed intothe concert.
So way to go, and while thetotal amount they're saying
(20:45):
cannot be fact-checked just thissoon after the event, morello's
figure surpasses the amountraised by many of the highest
profile charities of all time,and that is again according to
Billboard's coverage.
Over the years, billboard andother media outlets have relied
on figures provided by peopleaffiliated with the concerts.
(21:07):
You know promoters are notrequired to publish the total
funds raised or how much isdedicated to cover the expenses
there.
But but good, going back to thebeginning earned more than the
amount raised by FireAid andFarmAid combined.
Fireaid that was a five-longmega concert featured the likes
(21:31):
of Billie Eilish, lady Gaga,green Day, and that was in
January of this year raised morethan $100 million for victims
of the LA wildfires.
It killed 29, destroyed morethan 16,000 homes.
That's still unbelievable.
Live Aid back in 85.
July 13th of 85.
That was the big anniversarythe other day Wow, I didn't even
(21:55):
think about that.
That was at Wembley Stadium inLondon.
Jfk Stadium in Philly Broadcastlive to an estimated 1 billion
viewers.
Think about that.
A billion viewers in 110countries.
Raised about $100 million forfamine relief in the countries
of Ethiopia and Sudan.
But that was a huge number backin 1985.
(22:17):
And Live Aid organizer BobGeldof raised another $10
million for those ravaged byfamine before the festival.
That was, of course, throughthe release of Do they Know it's
Christmas, which was a singlethere.
The British single featured U2and Phil Collins.
Another $60 million raised forthe cause through the release of
(22:41):
we Are the World, which waswritten by Michael Jackson and
Lionel Richie which, fortunately, I don't know about you we
don't have to hear that songanymore.
Ugh, I mean, I like what it did, but yeah, that song would get
on my nerves.
Willie Nelson's Farm Aid, themusic industry's longest-running
charity concert, launched in1985 to support family farmers,
(23:05):
has raised more than 80 milliondollars over the past 40 years.
So good for all of them.
Good stuff, good work and, uh,certainly appreciated by so many
people.
Way to to go out Black Sabbath.
Way to go out, ozzy.
Way to go out Rosie O'Donnell.
(23:31):
Hey, let's look at the 45 Ipulled from my record collection
today.
I'm pretty excited about thisone.
Because I don't know this oneand this is an oldie, I'm going
to pull it out of its sleevehere.
Uh, white label.
This is on what record label?
(23:54):
Oh, this is on warner brothers.
Okay, there was a sticker onthat side over the warner
brother label.
Promotion, not for sale, bigletters right thereotion.
Not for sale makes this thingsuper rare.
I'm looking at it.
I cannot believe how perfect.
I always say this, but thisthing is just in beautiful
condition.
I mean, if you disregard thestickers from the radio station.
(24:16):
One is a red sticker that says559.
There's another sticker onthere from the radio station
that says 1964.
There's another sticker onthere from the radio station
that says 1964.
So this thing's been sittingthere for what?
60?
God, I'm terrible at math,that's why I'm in radio.
61 years, 61 years.
(24:37):
This record has been sitting ona shelf and it's in perfect
condition.
It's never been on the on aturntable.
Did I get that right?
61 years?
If I didn't, I'm certainlygoing to get.
I'm going to hear about that onmy radio show, but I've never
heard of this.
(25:01):
This is a song.
Let's take a look at this,let's dig into this one.
Written by Don Sugarcane Harrisand Dewey Terry, first recorded
by the two as the American R&Bduo of Don and Dewey in 1959.
Although the original versionof the composition did not
receive much attention, it wasreinvigorated by the Garage Band
(25:25):
.
This band, I love it.
It's a garage band.
I love garage rock like that.
Their raving remake of the songwas released in 1964.
There you go.
Song's raw and partyingatmosphere was immensely popular
.
Atmosphere was immenselypopular.
Reached number 19 on theBillboard Hot 100.
(25:46):
Following the group's nationalsuccess, several additional
interpretations of this songwere released, making the tune a
classic of garage rock.
Maybe I've heard it.
It's not familiar to me.
I like the name of it but it'snot familiar.
Let's see the original versionI'm losing my voice a little bit
(26:06):
, pardon me by Don and Deweypenned this song, a simplistic
tune about marrying a farmer'sdaughter.
They penned it in 59, early 59.
First recorded the originalrendition in January of 59.
Much more subdued than thisversion, january of 59.
Much more subdued than thisversion Trumpet instrumentals, a
(26:27):
sax solo providing the backdropto Don and Dewey's vocal
harmonies.
So again, it was released as asingle in February of 59 on
specialty records.
Didn't receive much attention,failed a chart, much attention
Failed to chart Mmm.
(26:51):
But this version Lawrence Perezon lead guitar, john Perez on
drums.
This group was established asmany garage rock bands, they
were practicing in their garage.
They had the opportunity torecord the song when the mother
of the brothers arranged anaudition with record producer
(27:11):
Billy Cardenas, who wasinstrumental in promoting
several Chicano groups.
As Lawrence Perez recalled,cardenas recommended to this
group that they cover this song,saying he wanted to do it more
East LA style or like LouieLouie type.
At the time, louie Louie, thattype of rhythm and sound was
(27:32):
happening.
So he said they tried to basethe beat and the sound towards
that.
As it happens, louie Louie hadthis song.
Like this song, I should say,louis had this song.
Like this song, I should say,began as a single release by a
Los Angeles-basedAfrican-American R&B musical act
In this case it was RichardBerry Before the Kingsman's
(27:55):
classic rendition went to numbertwo on the Billboard Hot 100.
For the reason that thisgroup's cover was marked by the
same kind of unpolishedadolescence that garnered
national success.
So without further ado, we'regoing to put this on the
turntable.
This is a song called FarmerJohn by the Premieres 1964, on
(28:24):
Bats Peeps 302.
I do know this song, man.
(28:46):
I can't believe some of therecords I have that I don't even
realize.
I have Definitely that LouieLouie feel.
Louie Louie, oh yeah, we gottago.
(29:24):
Louie Louie, oh yeah, we gottago.
Louie Louie, oh yeah, we gottago, I dig it.
Farmer John, let's flip it over.
On the other side we have aB-side, this one.
(29:49):
It's got writing on it it says3514, whatever that means, from
the radio station, some catalognumber, whatever.
This one is called Duffy'sBlues ¶¶, ¶¶.
(30:28):
I'm guessing this one must bean instrumental.
I have not heard this onebefore.
With that in mind, as we listento Duffy's Blues, flip Sorry to
Farmer John by the Premieres1964.
Again, please come out.
Come out and join us.
