Speaker 1:

hey man, here we are, once again the pats peeps podcast, back on a friday for number 90 8? Is this 98? Are we at 98? Are we at 98 already? My goodness, I can't believe it. A couple of more 100, our milestone, and things will get better from that point on. I promise you. We got things, got things in the works. Yeah, this is number 98 today, by the way, being the 7th day of June 2024, and looking out my studio window in the beautiful foothills of Northern California, it's a hot one Light breezy, but hot over 100 degrees yet again. It's like a few days in a row. Damn global warming, I tell you. It was raining until a month ago, but now it's 103 degrees. Anyhow, wherever you are, wherever you are listening, thank you so much. Appreciate you as we, like I say, approach our 100th podcast. That'll be a milestone and we have fun things to tell you about once we get to 100.

Speaker 1:

We played our little theme there, right? Well, here's our theme. Actually, I'm going to start right there, because I always want to give Sean Moody credit for our theme song. So Sean Moody, a very talented friend of mine guy, makes cigar box guitars and he's an excellent guitarist. And he's more than that, though. He's extremely creative, makes his own movies. I went to one of his movies that he made and we went to the. Where did we go to see that? Oh, the Crest Theater in Sacramento, and it was just a fabulous movie and he's extremely. Sean Moody, very, very extremely I just was redundant there very, very extremely. He's a sorry, I hate redundancy like that he's extremely talented musically, creating videos and such. He's a guy that I was used to be in a band with and he was our guitarist. I was the singer.

Speaker 1:

Actually, we've been trying to work on a project and I get it, though we had a, I say a project, we we wrote a song and started to produce it and everything and kind of left it off in terms of maybe we'll get back to it here, and I think we're going to, but Sean needed some time to produce a new vision of his, if you will, and a vision being new music. Here are some of Sean's. These are the ones that I have on my little buttons here for the show. Sean does all these little intros for me. These are all going to be possible intros for our Pat's Peeps podcast. Sean came up with all of these, so these are a couple of different ones. I played these for you before another one that we couldn't use Anyhow.

Speaker 1:

So Sean's been working on a new I don't know what you call it anymore downloads. A new record, a new album, I don't know what you call it anymore downloads. A new record, a new album, I don't know. But I want to tell you, man, I really dig it, sean, good job what I'm listening to. So I wanted to play a few of these for you, because Sean sent these to me yesterday saying hey, I want to give you a little sneak preview of what I'm doing, what I'm working on.

Speaker 1:

And when I started listening to these I thought, man, I really like these. I really like them. You know what these have? A very much a punk. How do I describe this? I've only listened to a few of them, but so far I like them.

Speaker 1:

Far. I like him. Sort of a punk rock mixed with just really cool harder rock. I love the riffs. I love in the first song. I don't even know what he's saying I'm trying to figure out what he's saying but I like the tone of it. I like the way it switches up the musically and throughout I got through maybe like four or five of these and I thought you know what this is. I'm not even gonna lie because I'm a rock fan. I mean this may or may not be your style, whatever. If some of you don't like rock or like punky kind of rock or what have you, maybe it's not your style, but I'm listening to this going, I'll tell you what. Sean, seriously, if you listen to me, sean, if you listen to this, I mean just going through this is some of the coolest music I've heard in a while.

Speaker 1:

So let's play some examples of Sean Moody's new music. Here we go. I saw this girl in a dirty magazine the one with bacon and canned peas and leaves. The one with dope and half a gasoline. The show. She was so pristine, 80 seconds back of my neck. Gonna give me, give me a big kick, kick me in the in the in the night. You know how to do it, how to do it right 80 seconds. Cherry, with a stick, like a doggy, she's gonna give me a kick. He's got a little Beastie Boys and some punk rock or something. I like it, sean. Here we go. Another one, check this out. I'm digging this man. Sean, here we go. Another one, check this out. I'm digging this man Sean Moody, you are my disco queen. You run on gasoline, you are my disco queen. You are my disco queen. You feel so, philistine, you are my disco queen.

Speaker 2:

You look so mean, you're my. So, philistine, you are my Disco Queen. You look so mean, you're my Disco Queen. There's no in-between. You're my Disco Queen. Oh yeah, you are my Disco Queen. You're sick like acid weed. You are my disco queen. You're sick like fascinating. You are my disco queen. You are my disco queen, faster than Ben's dream. You are my disco queen. This love is unseen, my disco queen.

Speaker 1:

There's no in between. There's no in between, let's go, wow, wow, ripping it up, man.

Speaker 2:

Lord come on.

Speaker 3:

Sean Moody, and I'll give it what I'll be baby If I said I was your lover. And I'll give it what I'll be baby If I could be any other. Devil's a baby.

Speaker 1:

Devil's a baby. I like it, sean. I like it, man. I like it, man. I'll play some more of that Unbelievable Sean Moody. Nice job, bubba.

Speaker 1:

Hey, here's something for you. Have you heard this? I was stunned to hear this. Maybe you haven't heard this. It came up on my YouTube today. I was doing a little stretching and what have you? You had YouTube on and this one popped up. And little stretching, and what have you? You had YouTube on and this one popped up and I said what now are you serious? Can you really do that?

Speaker 1:

I did not know this. Did you know? Like, if you live in man, I'm so glad I moved out of Oregon, I lived. My mom took us to Oregon when I was a teen and it just rained and rained and rained. Nothing against Oregon, a fine state, whatever, but I didn't know that in Oregon, like you could just walk around in the in the buff. Yeah, no biggie, walk around. You know? You don't feel I don't even want to talk about this because you know some people. I don't think people know this because I did my research. I said, my God, what about California? And you know what? Yeah, that's right. Did you know that?

Speaker 1:

In California? Let's see, here in California, it's legal to be nude outdoors. Here in California you could just walk around. I'm not talking about a nudist beach, however they say, but exposing yourself, your genitals or your naked body in front of someone who may be offended could be considered indecent exposure. All right. So, boy, that leaves a gray area, right? Someone who could be offended? Hmm, I don't know if you're walking around with it, never mind. I better shut up, right? Ah, if you're walking around, never mind. Guys, so many jokes anyhow you take, they don't want indecent exposure. So I guess apparently you have to be sort of like willfully exposing your genitalia or your naked body in a public place. So, in a public place. You just said it was okay. I don't understand what's going on.

Speaker 1:

California has no state law against being naked in public, but some cities have outlawed public nudity. Thank you, by the way, I mean for the most part, like for 90% of the public nudity. Thank you, by the way, I mean for the most part, like for 90% of the public. Okay, thank you for me. Sorry for banning it. Ironically, they say the most liberal cities, like San Francisco and Berkeley, have passed laws against public nudity. Have you seen the women roaming around in Berkeley. Come on, Do you blame my mom? Tell it Sorry, it all came about because, like I said, I'm watching this YouTube video, these guys, so what happened.

Speaker 4:

We were sitting over here three of us my wife and my two-year-old boy and she came walking through the yard over by my truck, took a left, came up here completely naked besides a shirt which was like draped like this, unbuttoned, yeah, he threw a vagina out and everything right in front of my little kid, I quickly covered his eyes. Oh no, I've never seen anything like that. She knocked on my front door too.

Speaker 3:

And it's like whoa Headlights are on.

Speaker 1:

She knocked on his front door. How you doing Just a naked woman. So you're telling me that's not illegal Oregon? Okay, wow, that's very interesting.

Speaker 5:

So I heard Does she live in?

Speaker 4:

No, in that building over here, oh okay perfect, I'm going to wait for my partner to get here Now.

Speaker 1:

listen to this.

Speaker 5:

Listen to this here, just so you guys are aware. In Oregon you can walk around completely naked. There's no law against it. As long as you're not doing it yes, there's your partner. As long as you're not doing it for your sexual gratification or the gratification of somebody else, you can literally throw up.

Speaker 1:

You can walk around naked for the gratification of somebody else. That's why you're walking around naked Because you think it's for the gratification of somebody else. Excuse me, sir, why are you walking around naked? Well, it's because for the gratification of others. All right, no problem.

Speaker 5:

Thank you so much for cooperating. I throw running shoes on and dudes just go jogging naked and there's no. You know if she's making like an effort to like look at me type thing.

Speaker 1:

I'm pretty sure I saw this TV show. Cops chase down a nude guy on a bicycle at night in Portland.

Speaker 4:

I think that's what she did. She walked straight up to us. I'm sitting with my little kid. She's like look at my body, my bare naked vagina, right in front of you. That's what she said. No, that's what she's doing by presenting herself to us.

Speaker 5:

No, I, I get it and, like I, I don't agree with that. It's okay, I'm the next bare naked vagina, telling you in oregon it's not a crime to do that like you can just walk around in the nude as long as you're not. It's not for a sexual man your information now.

Speaker 4:

She has a history.

Speaker 3:

It wasn't but a couple that's in a month ago that you guys were here, can you?

Speaker 1:

imagine.

Speaker 4:

I need to get a record.

Speaker 1:

Imagine you just walking down the street. You know, here comes a dude who looks like he's got, you know, like a freaking poodle and a leg lock, and this is okay, this is okay. We have to put up with this.

Speaker 4:

Because when I tell my wife, she's not going to believe that.

Speaker 5:

I can show you the.

Speaker 4:

ORS for sure You're saying in the state of Oregon someone can walk up to your two-year-old kid completely bare naked and that's not a crime, even if it's on your property.

Speaker 5:

Correct. Well, so it's trespassing, but what I'm saying is there's no laws against the actual nudity portion of it.

Speaker 1:

And then this idiot who called the police. Now he's got to be a dick, he's got to sit there and he's got to berate the cop as if, as if it's the officer you can expose yourself to children in Oregon.

Speaker 5:

Again, if, if you're not doing it for sexual gratification or the gratification of somebody else, yes, you are allowed to walk around in public naked.

Speaker 4:

It's hard to believe because we're on private property. This is where I live and someone just came and exposed themselves to my two-year-old boy.

Speaker 1:

See, the problem is because of people like Ted Wheeler and some of these other mayors who were elected by the woke. See these police officers and we talked about this with Topal Padilla on my show last night they can't do it. There's nothing they can do. There's no such thing as indecent exposure. I guess I should ask this question on my show tonight. By the way, the host of the Pat Wall show has heard nationally and internationally on the iHeartRadio app and at KPK in Sacramento Should it be legal to go around nude In California?

Speaker 1:

You can legally go naked in public if your intent isn't to sexually gratify yourself or someone else, or sexually offend or what have you. I mean, come on Really. However, they say, be warned, even when it isn't against the law. The police will then sometimes make the arrest anyway, but they open themselves up to lawsuits by doing this. Can you imagine this? But you may want to spend your time, they say, on something other than suing the police for false arrest. Well, yeah, I agree, I agree. Uh, I'm just looking. Here's some comments I'm just coming across. Should public nudity be illegal?

Speaker 1:

Someone wrote let's see, David wrote yeah, if I live to be a thousand years old, I will never understand why most people are so offended by the human body. David, I'm looking right at you, bro. The last thing in the world no offense is I would never, ever, ever want to see is you strolling down the road nude. You know what I mean. I'm sorry. I mean, come on. How about some couth? How about some self-respect? What are we troglodytes? You want to start wearing loincloths, or is that too much? Where are we going with this? He'll never understand. David says why most people are so offended by the human body. Have you seen a lot of them naked? David? Look in the mirror. No one wants to see it.

Speaker 3:

I'm trying to eat over here.

Speaker 1:

You're making me sick, he says. I keep hearing and reading excuses why people don't want to see naked people. There's no excuses. No, they're not excuses, they're truths. But none of those excuses, he says, explain why nudity is so offensive that it has to be illegal, Gets himself dignity seriously, but it's legal in California too. And then they got to harass the cops who are just trying to enforce the stupidity. I mean absolute stupidity.

Speaker 4:

This this officer saying that it's not a crime. So any of you out there that are viewing this, please check and make sure that oregon state revised statute says that you can expose yourself to little kids because it's unbelievable. Why don't you know? Why I bother?

Speaker 5:

calling you guys because I'm gonna do what I can to help you is what I'm trying to see these cops are just.

Speaker 1:

they try to be so nice and every day you guys are racist. You guys hate black people. It's just horse crap.

Speaker 5:

I'm explaining that. The actual, the actual nudity.

Speaker 4:

And tomorrow it's going to happen again and the next time, but apparently I can go take my clothes off and go walk up to little kids to show them my body, and that's not a problem in the state.

Speaker 5:

Right. If you're doing it specifically to go show a child your naked body, yes, then there's the intent behind what you're doing.

Speaker 4:

And her walking up to us where I'm sitting right here with my little kid that doesn't constitute that.

Speaker 1:

This guy. I get what he's asking, but he's being very smug to the officer. It's not the officer's fault.

Speaker 5:

And I'm telling you how law works on this. That's a common area where people would approach a residence. It's not in your backyard or in a private area. That's a public, like your mailman, somebody who's coming to your door, anybody who's visiting would walk up this way.

Speaker 1:

What if the mailman can walk up nude? Well, I guess they have rules no-transcript. She's going to go to jail for trespassing, do it right, but she could be naked on the sidewalk right there on that tree, and that's fine I love how, anytime you talk to an officer now it's dude, dude, bro, bro, bro, dude, because it's never officer. There's no respect.

Speaker 5:

That's what I'm saying. Is, though, that is something that I could enforce. I was just trying to explain to you the nudity portion of it. Yeah, but dude.

Speaker 4:

It's hard for me to believe man. That's insane.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, see, now listen to this smartass.

Speaker 5:

Believe me, we get calls for this type of stuff. Like I said, a guy running down North into 3rd Street butt naked with running shoes, that's not a crime. Approaching children though, Again, there would have to be the intent Like if it's like I jump the fence at a school and I walk up to a playground full of kids naked. Not OK, that's not going to be allowed.

Speaker 1:

Imagine you're walking down the street, some idiots walking naked. You got your kids with you.

Speaker 5:

Put somebody approaching the front of your house and there's a child, because there's a child outside. When they do that and they leave, when they're told they haven't committed a crime.

Speaker 4:

If it's, if it's the laws that we have here, or if it's you guys not having a willingness to do something about it. It's the laws that we have here, as far as I'm concerned, you guys are completely fucking useless pigs.

Speaker 1:

See you see this guy now. Completely useless effing pigs. See, now you're a douche. See, now you are a douche. See, you're not mature and you're a douche. How is it this officer is completely politely explaining to you, freaking douchebag who goes on, by the way, ridiculous okay, you can go ahead and trespass, but that's insane.

Speaker 4:

Imagine if I had a little girl out here and someone was touching, you know, bringing their pain hey hey, douchebag, he gets it.

Speaker 1:

you don't have to explain it, we all get it. Anyone with a decent, with any common decency, gets it. You don't have to explain it, we all get it. Anyone with any common decency gets it. Don't explain it and quit being a douche In front of my little kid are you just saying, that's fine?

Speaker 4:

I'm trying to explain to you Blame the laws, but I'm saying that's as far as I'm concerned, that's my deal.

Speaker 5:

You understand, when I'm in uniform I don't get an opinion about what I do force the law? I don't get to say whether I personally believe it's right or wrong.

Speaker 1:

I don't think you're understanding that. No, he's not you freaking moron God. These people are such idiots.

Speaker 4:

Her walking up to us.

Speaker 5:

No, I'm going off what you told me.

Speaker 4:

No, that's your interpretation. Okay, yeah, so her walking up and approaching my little kid, that's her trying to expose herself to my little kid. But you're deciding. You, Officer Avery, are deciding.

Speaker 5:

Would you like me to? Have her trespassed from this property.

Speaker 4:

You can go ahead and do that, but then tomorrow she can walk right there and do the exact same thing with an impunity.

Speaker 5:

You're correct, because there are no laws against being nude in Oregon. It's nothing to do with a personal opinion. It's everything to do with the application of the law and what I'm allowed to do in this state. Exactly.

Speaker 4:

It's not hard to believe that if it was a man over here with his penis out, you guys would have him in cuffs right now. Nope, well, I find that hard to believe. I won't test it because I don't want to be a sex offender, but I would be a sex offender for the rest of my life if I did that.

Speaker 5:

Do you understand what I'm talking about? The intent?

Speaker 4:

though. Do you know what happened when I called?

Speaker 1:

Whatever, whatever, whatever. He's got to be a dou See, I tell you, these officers, they have so much patience. I don't know how they have this much patience with people. I just don't get it. I don't know how I could never. I could never be a peace officer. I just couldn't do it, Couldn't do it More. Sean Moody. Here's some more Sean Moody. Little one little one, don't you see? Don't you see it ain't meant to be? Little one little one, don't you see? Don't you see love ain't worthy. Little one little one, don't you see? Don't you see you waste time with me. Little one little one. Heed my plea, heed my plea Stay away from me. New music from Sean Moody here. I'm liking it. Wow, it's almost got like the cool string instruments or something in the background. Here we go.

Speaker 5:

I've never heard any of these.

Speaker 1:

So you're going down the road right Highway 49, minding your own business. You're watching ahead of you and there's a buzzard eating an animal on the side of the road. And you see that up in the foothills. You see that occasionally there's a buzzard. He's eating another animal. As you're looking at that, you notice it the buzzard because the cars are coming. The buzzard decides to fly up and get out of the way a little bit. It's right there off the side of the road when this one flies up though middle of the day last week. It flies up, hits the side mirror of a car, almost explodes but escapes that right, Clips off the side mirror of the car, goes streaming across the highway. Next truck rammo splat on the windshield, buzzard dead on the road.

Speaker 1:

My question is, before we get back to some sean moody new music, do the buzzards eat the other buzzards? Like when the buzzards are dead on the side of one, one of their own is dead. Are they cannibalistic buzzards eat the other buzzards? Like when the buzzards are dead on the side of the room, one of their own is dead. Are they cannibalistic buzzards? I don't know which bank are you lost? He's a hell man Looking at the ladies Rolled up in the barbed wire. He's a hell man Sitting at the table.

Speaker 1:

Sounds a little like Chris Ray out of me, right there, your hands are strong. Hey there, old man Plowing spring of bloody horses. This goes for the dirt. This goes for the dirt. Ooh, a nice little touch of horns right there, a la Johnny Cash Ring of Fire. I like the little cowbell in the background.

Speaker 1:

Sounds like Chris Rea singing. I like. Like this. It fits his last name. It's moody. There's a moody feel to it. I like. Maybe you hate it, I don don't know, maybe you like it.

Speaker 1:

I know there's got to be a good guitar solo in this. I just know, sean, I'm going to listen for the see. If there's a stone in my heart With your name on it, I'm out. We'll be right back. Guitar solo We'll be right back. All right, honestly, honestly, wow. I'm not even when I say this, I'm not joking. This is Sean's my friend, but honestly, this is some of the best rock I've heard in a while.

Speaker 1:

I am blown away by that horn piece right there and I knew Sean would come in with that guitar like that. I mean, seriously, I love this, no matter what you, we all might think it's all very subjective. I get that, but I love this. I'm getting a twinge of maybe God I'm trying to think like, like I said, ring of fire, kind of horns, of just a very cool sort of this underlying I can't darker western. I can't figure it out, but I love it. All I know is I feel this, and there's still a lot Let me see how many One. Well, there's two more songs to go on this. Maybe I'll share those on our next podcast.

Speaker 1:

I had a really cool record to finish this thing with today. I almost want to leave it there, but I think I will play the record. I almost left it there because that music is so good, sean. Seriously, brother, you are so talented, right. So I will play the record, though, because I did pull it out of my stack of rare 45s, and this one that I pulled out today.

Speaker 1:

By the way, most of these are in these green sleeves Green sleeves, great song. But these old record production sleeves that just kind of kept them in line on the record shelves at the radio station for decades, kept them in line on the record shelves at the radio station for decades. This particular one is in its original sleeve from the company. It's a picture. This is a picture sleeve, not the old, just green generic sleeve. So it's got the photo of the album on the sleeve. It's got the title of the band and the song. And this does have a flip side on it too.

Speaker 1:

This came out in 1978. Great year, by the way. And let me take it out of the sleeve here and let me see what kind of condition it's in. Oh, my goodness, let me see, because this was a very popular song. Oh, this is in beautiful condition. Oh, but look at this. It's on Atlantic Records, stereo on one side. Let me see. Oh, stereo on both sides. Okay, but the title of the feature song on here on the label pardon me, the label is actually cut into they. Actually it's kind of a defect on the Atlantic record label as it kind of cuts into the title of the song, but nonetheless I'm going to put it back in the sleeve or take. Okay, let me see. Yeah, yeah, nonetheless, this is a really good record. So let me, I'm going to put it on the turntable here.

Speaker 1:

So this particular record, as I said, came out in 78. Huge song from the second studio album by this British-American combo rock band who had a huge debut album the year before. This one was released June 20th of 78 on Atlantic. Like I said, it was recorded December, between December of 77 and March 78. And it was the band's only album co-produced by Keith Olsen and the last recording with their bassist, ed Gagliardi, who then would later be replaced by Rick Wills. So the album was very popular. It was the first one in line and a lot of many other recordings which A&R executive John Kalinor would say simply have his name listed twice in their notes as a play on the title of this album.

Speaker 1:

But anyhow, this peaked at number three on the Billboard Top 200 charts Number three it earned platinum certification a week after its release. It has been certified get this seven times platinum for sales In excess of seven million units. Also, it's on compilation records. One came out in 82. It is the best-selling album by this band. Also it's on compilation records. One came out in 82. No-transcript In Europe. However, this album reached the top 40 only in the United Kingdom. So there was a lead singer released in 78, which earned the number three spot on the Billboard Hot 100. In September it was followed by this song which went to number two. So it beat it. And now this is the highest position for this band that they had attained to that time. And then they had one other final song on here that was a hit as well, but it went to number 15 on the chart, so this one is their top-selling record single.

Speaker 1:

Now I did see something in here from the critics I wanted to read. Let's see, uh, let me see. I wanted to read something. I thought it was interesting. Okay, so there's an LA Times critic. His name is Robert Hilburn described the dub this, this, this album as slickly produced, commercially powerful, but artistically vapid vapid. The record critic, rick Atkinson, said that the album used the same name, the same formula, I should say, as their debut album, such that it should be. The clone would have been appropriate title would have been an appropriate title. And according to Atkinson, this one particular song now you may know what I'm talking about Tramontane was the only new and different track on the album, and he described it as having a heavy keyboard line. But all the members of the group got a quick shot at the spotlight Anyhow. So the name of the album is Double Vision. The artist is obviously Foreigner.

Speaker 2:

Let's put it on the turntable Feeling down and dirty, feeling kind of mean, I've been from one to another extreme. This time I had a good time. Ain't got time to wait. I wanna stick around till.

Speaker 3:

I can't see straight. Fill my eyes with that double vision. No disguise for that double vision. Ooh.

Speaker 1:

When it gets through to me it's always new to me. My double vision is the best of me. So on this album, you know, when he says that there's just no creative, what is vapid creation, creative music on here, I'm going to disagree and I'll get to that in a moment. But let's flip it over and see what's on the other side of this. The other side of this record is I can't remember whether it's vapid or vapid is a song called hold. On a second again, it's called Lonely Children. Okay, called Lonely Children, okay, lonely Children. And you know what? I disagree that it has no great music on it, no creative flow. I like the flip side on this one too.

Speaker 2:

I think it's pretty decent. You go where the wind blows, leading the life you chose. Your destination Remains unknown, no one to help you. If you chose, your destination remains unknown, no one to help you. Nobody cares about you. You're looking for some place you can call home.

Speaker 3:

Lonely children on the run. Lonely children need someone.

Speaker 1:

I like it. I'm sorry I disagree with him. I'm not going to disagree that it's highly produced, because it certainly is highly produced. Heck, journey was highly produced, but I like it. It's a great song. And then if you look at and even there are people, for instance Record World, saying that when this came out that two of the songs besides the hit singles Back when you Belong, and then for me, particularly this one, spellbinder shows an expertise and maturity as a band and for me, particularly this one, spellbinder shows an expertise and maturity as a band. And for me, off of that album, one of my favorites was always Spellbinder by Foreigner, from all of Foreigner. This is probably my favorite song by them.

Speaker 2:

I found out the hard way Some things you just can't get, when I fell in love with a woman.

Speaker 5:

I wish I never met Love this song.

Speaker 2:

I was in the wrong place At the wrong time. I fell easy prey to an innocent way. I was so blind Called out her name. I turned around to find her. She's a spellbinder.

Speaker 1:

I love this. I just love this song. I like the words. I've never been an easy man. Thank you for listening today. So hard to please. I love this lyric here, but she made me feel life was unreal.

Speaker 2:

Oh Lord, how she satisfied me.

Speaker 1:

I tried to break away. Thank you for listening today. Very musical podcast from number 98. I'm going to go walk around nude, hope you don't mind. See you on listening today. Very musical podcast from number 98. I'm going to go walk around nude, hope you don't mind. See you on the radio.
