As the crisp autumn air settles over Northern California's Gold Country, join me for episode 162 of the Pat's Peeps Podcast, where the hues of fall inspire both reflection and anticipation. Ever wondered how to create a defensible space around your home with burn days? Let me share some hands-on autumn tips while I introduce a new segment, "Sunday Funnies," reviving the classic charm of Sunday comic strips, now in audio form. Feel the nostalgia of the once-hearty newspaper sections and the shifting tides of local news as I dive into the highlights of NFL week 11, including the San Francisco 49ers' bruising encounter with the Seattle Seahawks, and the excitement surrounding an upcoming Rams vs. 49ers face-off.

I was thrilled to have Dick Marshall join me, as we journeyed back to the days of the Yolo County 4-H Report. Dick's stories are a delightful mix of tractor-driving adventures and local fundraisers, painting a vivid picture of his early reporting days. Although he humorously sidesteps the suggestion to resurrect his iconic 4-H Ag Report, we celebrate his enduring community service through the Rotary Club and its vital scholarship program. Stay tuned for some nostalgic fun as I tease a future dive into old-school infomercials, like the legendary Ginsu steak knife.

Our musical exploration takes a disco twist with the Bee Gees' iconic hit "Night Fever," a cornerstone of the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack. Discover how the Bee Gees not only influenced the film's title but also dominated the charts, keeping "Night Fever" at number one for eight memorable weeks. While we examine the lesser-known B-side track "Down the Road," we appreciate how "Night Fever's" success overshadowed its counterpart. Don't miss the upcoming Pat Walsh Show and the delightful "Sunday Funnies" segment, as I extend my gratitude for your continued support and excitement for the adventures ahead.
