Pat's Peeps Podcast

Ever wondered what happens when you mix a heatwave, first-time callers, and pure comedic gold? On this episode of Pat's Peeps Podcast, we reminisce about the value of engaging with our radio audience on the Pat Walsh Show while basking in the comedic brilliance of National Lampoon. With hilarious selections featuring Chevy Chase, John Belushi, Bill Murray, Christopher Guest, and Gilda Radner, this episode offers a nostalgic escape from the sweltering Northern California sun and the usual political chatter.
Get ready for a laugh-out-loud discussion as we dive into exaggerated stories about celebrities like Dick Butkus and Jerry Garcia. We reflect on the influence of 70s comedy, especially the iconic National Lampoon, and share a sidesplitting mock interview with Bill Murray playing a quirky bass player and Christopher Guest as the ever-charming Mr. Rogers. Their humorous exchange about musicianship and early morning routines is sure to keep you smiling.
In a special segment, we explore my rare 45 collection with a surprising find—two records in one sleeve! Recalling a memorable moment with the band War, we discuss their hit "Slippin' Into Darkness" and their unique sound. Plus, we compare "Funky Nassau Part 1" and "Funky Nassau Part 2," noting the James Brown influence and unexpected interruptions that add an extra layer to the listening experience. Tune in, stay cool, and join us for more music and memories on our next episode!
