Pat's Peeps Podcast

How can local businesses transform not just homes, but entire communities? Join me as I chat with Chris from American River Flooring, who has been instrumental in redecorating my home from the ground up. We celebrate his impending fatherhood and six years of dedication to top-notch painting and flooring projects. Through our conversation, you'll witness the profound impact local businesses can have and why it's crucial to support these community cornerstones.
Listener feedback fuels our show, and this episode is no exception. We'll share touching stories from our audience, highlighting the deep connections and sense of community we've cultivated together. Inspired by one listener's quirky suggestion, we also preview a fun upcoming segment about bizarre cover songs, featuring an Irish rock band's unique take on Eddie Grant's "Electric Avenue." Plus, I'll recount a charming encounter with some adorable dogs on a beautifully overcast day, adding a lighthearted touch to our discussion.
Shifting gears to current events and music, I express my thoughts on crime statistics and police behavior, challenging some common perceptions. We explore personal responsibility through notable incidents like George Floyd. On a lighter note, find solace in my admiration for Ryan Adams' soothing cover of Taylor Swift's "Shake it Off." We also look forward to the presidential debate and critique media biases, especially concerning Donald Trump's latest controversial joke. Wrapping up on a nostalgic note, we play Journey's "Who's Crying Now," sharing its historical context and my personal memories associated with the classic tune.
