September 29, 2025 25 mins

A gray morning, a faster pace, and a head full of sports and music—sometimes the best conversations start on a walk. We kick things off with the simple joy of moving, then ride the high of a Dodgers sweep in Seattle and cut through the easy “they bought it” narrative with real stories of development, reinvention, and a farm system that keeps the engine running. From there, we pivot to the NFL’s weekly reality check: injuries that bend storylines, Max Crosby bulldozing through blocks like a one-man storm, and a wide-open NFC West that feels one big play away from a reshuffle.

We also talk place, ritual, and what it means to belong to a team. Home stadiums that don’t always feel like home, a friend remembered with a jersey and a quick tap for luck, and a Thursday night Rams–49ers tilt that puts health, coaching, and nerve to the test. Puka Nacua’s rise gets real attention—13 catches, 170 yards, and the kind of toughness that makes defensive backs think twice. He’s not just a hot hand; he’s a compass for where the offense wants to go.

Then there’s the other side of fandom: when the noise goes too far. The Ryder Cup showcased world-class golf and some bottom-shelf behavior, from heckling during strokes to a drink thrown at a player’s spouse. We draw the line, plainly—cheer loud, keep it fair, and remember that respect is part of the game. To cool the jets, we end with a needle drop: a white-label Motown 45, the Jackson 5, and a few quiet minutes to breathe. It’s the reset that makes the next stride possible.

If this mix of walking wins, Dodgers grit, Rams hope, and a plea for better fan etiquette hits home, tap follow, share with a friend who loves sports with soul, and leave a quick review telling us your take on where passion ends and respect begins.

SPEAKER_03 (00:11):
Yep, out here for Pat's Peach three hundred and
forty taking a walk.
I'm loving the weather today asit is gray and cloudy.
I just love when there's achange in the weather.

(00:33):
From winter back to spring.
Hope you're having a beautifulday.
Hope you had a great weekend.
And yes, on this lovely day I'mtaking advantage of it as I'm
out walking and getting more andmore and more used to this,
which is just fantastic.
I find myself going at a muchquicker pace, going up

(00:58):
elevations, and feeling verygood about uh getting out here
and doing this more and more.
So we know the raining and allof that, but I'm still gonna try
to do it during that.
So got people out here workingon their driveways.
Good morning.

(01:19):
How you doing?
Beautiful, huh?
Loving it.
You have a nice day.
Yeah, it's so nice.
I like good neighbors.
You know, like a good neighbor,never mind.
Because the rest of that sloganis I don't know how true that is

(01:41):
anymore.
For those who of you who evenremember that.
Ah, you know, it was niceyesterday.
Rarely do I get the opportunityto relax and not do anything.
Yesterday presented thatopportunity.
So I had a date with my sofaman.

(02:02):
That's what I was doing.
I'm staying home.
I was committed to that.
I watched my Dodgers pull thesweep from the Mariners in
Seattle, two 90 win clubs, bothheaded to the postseason.
Something to prove.
So proud of my team.
And man, I know there's a lot ofhaters.

(02:23):
Sorry.
That's just look, that's the wayit is.
I know.
You know.
So four four consecutive NashLeague West crowns.
I know many of you are hating meright now.
I'm sorry, but no, I'm notreally sorry though.
I'm not trying to rub it in.
I'm just making a comment.

(02:44):
Third, what is it?
12 out of the last 13 years, Ibelieve.
Or 13 out of 14.
One of the I just couldn't kindof spaced.
But anyhow, National LeagueWest.
So you know what?
If it was your team, you'd beproud to.
Before you jumped on the oh,they bought Michael.
Oh, they bought there's a botteam, yeah.
They have a few high high-pricedplayers.

(03:08):
They also have people like MaxMuncie, who was a scrub and with
the A's, they didn't want him.
Remember when Justin Turner wasa Dodger, one of the most
valuable Dodgers ever.
Came from the Mets where he wasbarely being used.
Chris Taylor and his run there,he had a profound impact.
KK Hernandez, who went what, 121with Boston during a trade,

(03:29):
couldn't do squat, comes back tothe Dodgers as a fire plug.
Michael Conforto, TeoscaHernandez.
So yeah, they got anotherpicture that's high priced too.
So what?
But that evens out with guys whoare unwanted and the best farm
club in baseball.

(03:50):
So I'm proud of them.
Then the Rams yesterday, I know.
Again.
Alright, I'll start maybe.
Well yeah, they won, but let'sstart with the 49ers.
Tough.
I mean, should Brock Purdy havebeen out there with a turf toe.
You know, the 49ers had fourturnovers in that game
yesterday.
A lot of their team is nowinjured.

(04:13):
And uh Pearsol was injuredyesterday.
Can't remember who.
I haven't really seen the uh theinjury list, but you know, uh
Kittle has been out.
Got a lot of techniques, butanyhow, several injuries.
They don't have Debo anymore.
Juwan Jennings has been hurt inand out of the games, purdy.

(04:36):
So I get that.
But of course, back in 2022,after the Rams won the Super
Bowl, and they started off slow,just like the last two seasons
in which they started off slowand then came up came on like
gangbusters at the end of theyear.
You know why?

(04:57):
It's because the Rams wereinjured in 2022, and everyone
likes to say, Well, you know,put all their chips in the
middle, went for it, won, butthen a big drop-off and
disappointment the next yearbecause they were injured.
So it goes both ways.
Your team is injured, that'sjust what happens.

(05:20):
Oh my gosh.
Although I will say, asdisappointing yet again, as the
Raiders were giving up that leadto the bears, the bears.
Sorry, I shouldn't have donethat.
I hate when people do that everytime they see the bears.
Just like when they say theRaiders, the Raiders, they don't

(05:43):
deserve to hear their name likethat.
So we get the Raiders.
Oh god.
Except for Max Crosby.
That dude, man.
He he is a beast.
Yesterday, sometime during thegame, sometimes during the game,
it felt like Max, Mad Max, was aman among boys.

(06:07):
Like he was just dominant.
He was like playing against PopWarner.
I mean he's everywhere, so yougotta give it up to that dude.
Max Crosby.
I don't, you know, hey, I wishthey'd they could do better, but
I don't know what's going onthere.
Pete Carroll, he's having atough time.

(06:28):
He's a good guy, but hey, youknow, I hate that expression.
It is what it is, but theRaiders have been that team for
quite some time now.
Who knows?
Maybe they'll turn the page.
And by the way, let's get moreRaider and Ram fans in our
stadiums, by the way.
Yesterday I it was a goodshowing by the I I didn't get

(06:49):
really honestly, I don't knowwhat the crowd makeup was for
the Raider game.
I know that a lot of visitingteams, it's kind of sucks not
having that real home teamadvantage, hometown advantage.
But pretty good uh advantage forthe Rams at home at SoFi

(07:10):
yesterday.
Although, again, that's a hugestadium, and they do tend to
sell, no matter what team it is,a lot of tickets for the
opposing team.
And I always put a jersey outfor my my late friend Randall,
what three years ago now?
Every weekend, put out one ofhis jerseys.

(07:32):
You and I, Ram fans, I put itout for him every week.
Might sound crazy, I high-fiveit.
I talk to him like he's sittingnext to me.
How about that, Randall?
Yeah, come on, come on, Randall.
Here we go.
Tap the jersey.
I love you, Randall.
I know you do that for me.
Love you, brother.

(07:54):
And now they're in a dead eventie at three and one with the
49ers, the Seahawks, and theCardinals with those new
spectacular speckled uniforms.
What on earth are you thinkingwith that?
Uh they're they're in thebasement right now of the NFC

(08:16):
West.
So what happens this Thursday?
This Thursday.
It's gonna drive me insane thatI am going to be on the air
doing my radio show.
By the way, Pat Walsh, host ofthe Pat Walsh show on KFPK Radio
in Sacramento.
7 to 10 p.m.
Monday through Friday.

(08:37):
93.1 FM, 15.30 a.m.
Hi horses! Good morning.
Two beautiful horses.
You know, people keep telling meI need to come out here with
carrots.
I hope the owners don't mind,but I'm I might go grab some and
take a chance and feed the horsea carrot.
They're so friendly.

(08:58):
But anyhow, Thursday nightfootball, Rams and the 49ers.
49ers, you know, they'restruggling right now.
Rams, maybe they take a minuteto figure it out.
Who knows?
One thing I do know, Pukanakua.

(09:19):
This dude is tough.
13 receptions, 170 yards.
He muscles, man.
He I look, I'm biased, but I sayhe's the best receiver in
football right now.
170 yesterday on 13.
So, I mean, he could be on theway to a triple crown, just like

(09:40):
Cooper Cup was a few years ago.
What, 2021?
Come up to my porch, finish mywalk, sit down in my porch
rocket here for a moment.

(10:22):
Okay, well, it's been feelinggood to do that.
Getting out there.
Uh yeah.
So in terms of working out, Iyou know, I got to thinking
about some of the ways I usethis Nike, what is it, the Nike
Run Club app.
Uh, you know, and I andinitially I thought, well, how's
an app really gonna how is thatgonna motivate me to get out and

(10:44):

Yeah, in a certain way it has.
I mean, it's got a little coachthat comes on after you're done.

Hey, this is your coach.
I just want to tell you a way toget up and get moving, you know,
way to go.
Not sitting on the couch, you'reout there moving, you're getting
away, and they're a better manfor it.
A blah blah blah, right.

(11:04):
But more than that, though, ittracks what you're doing, it
shows you your elevation, itreally tracks how you're
performing and all of that.
And it begins to show thatyou're improving.
And when you begin thatimprovement, you know, you start
feeling healthier, and I'mreally start I'm really enjoying

25 year olds subscriber to bothPlayboy and a New Yorker

(16:29):
magazine.

SPEAKER_06 (16:30):
Meanwhile.
Yes, you too can have a bodylike mine if you're not careful.

SPEAKER_03 (16:34):
Pathetic, isn't it?
Actually, what's really patheticis the behavior of the U.S.
golf fans over the weekend atthe Writer Cup at Beth Page.
Yelling during shots, cannotseem to conduct themselves with
class.
Very embarrassing.
Tom Watson, an American legend,had to apologize to the European

(16:56):
contingent for the behavior ofthe American spectators.
How about that?
One of the idiots actuallythought it would be a brilliant
idea to throw a cup or a drinkat Roy McElroy's wife.
It is embarrassing.

SPEAKER_05 (17:11):
Bones, what do we got?
We've got Rory who played hissecond shot from the right first
cut.
It got away from a little bit aswe saw it, putting back down the
hill now from some 30, 35 feet.

SPEAKER_04 (17:24):
Bones, it just seems there's as much pulling for the
U.S.
and pushing against theEuropeans here, especially in
this group against Rory.

SPEAKER_05 (17:33):
Yeah, it's been incredibly vocal out here this
afternoon, I have to say.
The problem is that as they walkaround the green, the crowd has
been shouting out time, if youwill, you know, counting from
one to ten and then on fromthere.
They just, I don't think Rory'slooking at the referee now, just
asking people to settle down.

SPEAKER_15 (17:55):
Yeah, after a while, Paul, it can kind of get on your
nerves.

SPEAKER_06 (17:59):
Yeah, his character building, though, for Rory, as I
say, he's normally man of thepeople, and now he's seeing the
flip side.
And I think in a big context ofhis career, having this
experience in years to come, helooked back on it as being a
good experience.
And as much as it's uh it's notfun and it's somewhat
uncomfortable at the moment,he's reacted very well.

SPEAKER_03 (18:17):
So as Roy McElroy is preparing to putt, he's
frustrated.
He's frustrated, he's showingthat to the referees uh because
there's this noise is going onfrom the crowd.

SPEAKER_05 (18:28):
Yeah, it's getting a little out of hand out here
right now.

SPEAKER_06 (18:34):
Well, there's one thing giving stick in between
shots, and I think Roddy'd bethe first to say that we see his
dad there in the background.
Jerry is dad.

SPEAKER_15 (18:41):
You can see him just over there in the one knee.

SPEAKER_06 (18:44):
It's another thing giving stick while he's
addressing the ball and tryingto affect his execution of the
shot.

SPEAKER_04 (18:50):
This might have a little pressure on Shane Lowry,
too, and he's he's kind ofstepped up the last couple
holes.
He's not getting any views forearly.

SPEAKER_05 (19:01):
I think you know a big part of the issue is the
timing of the folks being vocalin the crowd.
I mean, it's one thing as Paulsays to give him a hard time,
but uh you can't do when theguy's over the shot.
Let's bring in Brad Gregory ofthe PGA of America.

SPEAKER_15 (19:16):
We heard from Kerry Haig in our meeting before this
Ryder Cup started, Brad, aboutwhat they will do with bad
behavior if necessary, if theyhear something's over the top.

SPEAKER_09 (19:27):
Yeah, thanks, Dan.
Yeah, Rory's got a right toplay.
Come into the shot withrelatively uh silent.
And uh, you know, even if you'reon the clock on the clock,
you're you're not starting theclock until you're you're free
to play without distraction, andcertainly this is, and so uh
Rory's just taking his timeuntil things settle down, which

(19:48):
is perfectly okay.

SPEAKER_15 (19:51):
So after a lengthy time over that putt.

SPEAKER_06 (19:56):
If there's any boy's out there looking for a bit of
trouble, this is a game they'regonna come and look for.
Exactly.

SPEAKER_15 (20:01):
And you can just see the body language by Rory, who's
just over it.
Lowry for Bertie.
And they just keep wheelingalong even through the ball.
There we go.

SPEAKER_03 (20:13):
The body language.
Let's see.
Tremendo gonna be ashamed ofitself.
Disgusting and embarrassing.
Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_04 (20:22):
Lava's loud for shame gives any double chance to
be concentrated.

SPEAKER_03 (20:26):
Then at another point, a classless idiot threw a
like I said earlier, threw adrink at Roy McElroy's wife.
Roy McElroy talked about thecrowd.

SPEAKER_01 (20:41):
How sustainable for the game of golf is the level of
abuse that you and others Iknow, but received um received
this weekend.
I mean, is it something that youjust have to accept, or is it
something that's taking the gamein a dangerous direction?

SPEAKER_00 (20:59):
No, I I like I don't think we should ever accept that
in golf.
Um I think golf should be heldto a higher standard than than
what was you know than what wasseen out there this week.
Um golf has the ability to unitepeople.

(21:20):
Golf teaches you very good lifelessons, it teaches you
etiquette, it teaches you how toplay by the rules, it teaches
you how to respect people.
Um and you know, sometimes thisweek we didn't see that.
So uh no, it this should not bewhat is acceptable in the Ryder
Cup.
Um, but you know, we will bemaking sure to say to our fans

(21:43):
in Ireland in 2027 that you knowwhat happened here this week is
is not acceptable.
And it's you know, I for me it'syou know, come and support your
home team, you know, come andsupport your team.
You know, I think if I was anAmerican, I would be annoyed
that people I didn't hear a lotof shouts for Scotty today, but

(22:05):
I heard a lot of shouts againstme.
And it's like support yourplayers.
You know, that's the that's thething.
So um look, it was a rough weekfor all of us, um, but at the
same time, you know, we we shutthem up by our performance and
how we played, and we we triedto, you know, I I chirp back a

(22:25):
few times because it caught tome a few times, but we we tried
to handle everything that cameour way um with class and poise,
and for the most part I feltlike we did that.

SPEAKER_03 (22:37):
45th Ryder Cup.
He breathes uh breathes a sighof relief when it came to an end
as the Euros survived the Yanksin a furious rally uh uh in
singles yesterday to capturegolf's biggest prize again with
a 15-13 victory.
And you know what?
I'm not even upset about it.

(22:57):
First of all, I'm not a hugegolf fan.
Second of all, that wasdisrespectful.
Let's end it on a high note.
I yanked this record from myrare 45 collectible shelf.
I like this song, I like the Ilove the this just brings back
such good memories.
First single released from thethird album by this group,

(23:18):
written by Barry Gordy, HalDavis, and Willie Hutch.
Recorded by this group, releasedon Motown Records August 28th,
70.
First single, like I said, fromthe third album produced.
Um another, well, there's uhGod, there's a two or three good

(23:38):
songs on this one that I reallylike.
So this made them the firstgroup to have their first tour
singles reach number one, andthe first black male group with
four consecutive number one pophits in the same year.
And this is the most successfulof those singles.
This record, let me pull it outof the sleeve here, is on

(24:01):
Motown.
Uh it's got a sticker, like Isaid, someone wrote on the radio
station 1970 on a sticker.
It's got the number 313 on asticker, it's got says this is
1970 on the other side.
White label Motown.
Promotional copy, not orPromotional Not For Sale.
