  Speaker 1: like to call the after party. This is the show
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: after the show, the party after the party, the bridge
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: to get you from one full episode of Disgraceland to
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the other, the backyard to dig into the dirt. On
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: this episode, we are talking, among other things, about our
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: new full episode on Blondie, this week's rewind episode on
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Chris Brown, and of course your voicemails, text, dms and more,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and as always, a whole lot of Rosie all Right discos,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Let's get into it all right this week in Disgraceland,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: brand new episode on Blondie, one of the great bands
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: to come out of the nineteen seventies punk new Wave
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: CBGBCN in New York City, fertile scene, great time for music,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: great time for musical innovation as well, and also a
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: great time of fear, violent crime. Had the Five Borrows
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: in a stranglehold, Muggers, rapist, thieves, criminal deviance, all kinds
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: ran wild, wild in the streets. As Girl and Jeffrey
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: said so true New Yorkers like Blondie. Though they were tough,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: they were kind of jaded and immune to the fierce
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: city vibes that inflicted the tourists who came to New
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: York City. Blondie's Debbie Harry, in particular, she was not
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: a victim. She's a survivor. She was not a mark.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: But she nearly became a victim as soon to be
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: infamous serial killer offered her a ride. So Debbie Harry
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: wrote all about her infamous encounter with soon to be
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: serial killer Ted Bundy in her autobiography Face It, which
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: came out back in twenty nineteen. Okay, this is to
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: me one of the greatest connections between music and true
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: crime in history. It is also quite literally the reason
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I do this podcast. These weird fucking connections. Now, let's
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: just address the elephant in the room really quick. Did
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: this happen? Did Debbie Harry? As I put forth in
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the new full episode on Blondie, and as Debbie Harry
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: confirms to be true, states to be true in her
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: book and has done elsewhere, the fact that she was
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: once given a ride by Ted Bundy and who tried
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to abduct her and she then escaped. Now, a lot
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: of people call bullshit on this, but here's the deal.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: This is the greatest type of storytelling. It's myth, meaning
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you can't prove that it happened, but you can't prove
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: that it didn't happen either. I've talked about this before. Now,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of people point to the fact that Ted
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Bundy never killed anybody in New York City, and that
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Ted Bundy was not known to be an East Coast guy,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: that he wasn't in New York City at the time.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: But however, there is evidence that he was in Philadelphia
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: at the time, which is only about an hour's drive
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: from New York City. So who you gonna believe? I'm
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: choosing to believe the victim here. I couldn't help myself.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I'm choosing to believe Debbie Harry here, not out of
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: some like you know, false sense of victims rights or
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: anything like that, but just because this is a damn
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: good story. And Debbie Harry is a pretty credible person
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: when you look at her past and you look how
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: authentically she's represented herself in her art and everything else.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Who knows, maybe she wanted to sell books. I don't know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: but this story is just too good to put down.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I've been talking about this forever since I first thought
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: of this podcast. I wanted to do this episode when
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I did those live shows back in gosh, when were
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: they twenty nineteen?
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I had a bit at the end of the shows
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: where I would do this sort of like true or
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: false thing with these absurd stories the musicians how to
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: part it, and this Ted Bundy Debbie Harry thing was
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: part of it even back then. So I've been itching
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: to tell this story. So the response has been great
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: so far. I love that you guys are responding to it.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I love that you were there for the shock of
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the Ted Bundy thing. I'm down with it. If you
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: know any other information on this, anyone out there listening
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: who knows Debbie Harry has perhaps some different insight into
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: this personally from her in touch, let me know, all right.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Six one seven nine oh six six six three eight. Also,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: if you are a listener out there and you've heard
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: this story and you think it's bullshit, let me know.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: If you think it's not, let me know. We list
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: let me know what you think of the episode. Six
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: one seven nine oh six six six three eight. All right.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: We'll do some emails right now at Disgrace slam Pod.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: This email here from Lawrence, who writes in uh, let's
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: see here, subject Sam Cook, March sixth, twenty eighteen. He's
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: referring to the release date that we put out the
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Sam Cook episode, which I believe is yeah, that's uh,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: the third episode we released. That's one day before my
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: second son was born. And the message says, hey, just
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: listen to this. I disagree. Things are complicated, more complicated
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: than you reported. No, I don't think it was the mafia,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: his wife or a planned hit by the motel manager.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Not enough room here to express myself. So I will
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: just say baby drowning, bad contract signing, the weight of sin,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: alcohol abuse, unpaid prostitute, and a murdered husband boyfriend. And
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: that's the message from Lawrence, who sounds like he has
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: some information that we don't have. So Lawrence, appreciate the email.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: My man right back or hit me back six one
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: seven nine oh six six six three eight. If you
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: want to talk about it further, if you want to
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: talk about it confidentially, we can do that. Just let
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: me know that's what you prefer, and I won't talk
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: about it here in this public space. This one from
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Rob O'Connor. This is a recent one. Rob writes in
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: thank you, that's the subject line. Hey, there been listening
• 6:32

  Speaker 1: just tell you as it pertains to Disgraceland and bad

• 7:49
  Speaker 1: want the merch. Give me the merch. And I've been like,

• 7:59
  Speaker 1: and I have a plan to be re releasing merch
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: on a regular basis going forward. I also have a
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: plan that I'm working on so that we can engage
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: more this voicemail six one, seven, nine oh six sixty
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: six three eight text message thing that we've been doing, rob.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: You can reach out. You don't have to just email.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: You can hit me on text and voicemail. We've been
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: doing this for I don't know, six seven months now.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: It's inspired me in different ways. We have this great
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: conversation going on. We've got this awesome community here. But
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I got to tell you, after six seven eight months
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: of doing this, I'm feeling a little limited. I'm feeling
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: a little constrained. It's hard. You guys, text and voicemail
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: a lot, and I no doubt sense that you are
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: frustrated at my lack of response. I'm telling you, I'm
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: trying to respond. It's just hard. I'm not complaining, but
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I'm just telling you it's difficult when you have hundreds
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: of texts to respond to them all or even a few.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: But I'm working on a way to solve this problem,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: to keep the engagement going, but make it so it's
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: a better experience for all of us. All right, More
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: on that in the coming weeks. But this is all
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: to say, I guess you know. I wasn't gonna do
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: this until later, but I'll do it now. Thanksgiving is
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: in what two days? No, it's tomorrow, it's in one day.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: You're gonna be getting this on Thanksgiving, this episode. I'm
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: grateful for you, guys. I'm grateful for this community. I'm
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: thankful that you're in my ear. You're calling me, you're
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: texting me, you're hitting me up on DMS, you're listening
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: to these episodes. They matter to you. The conversations we're
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: having about these larger than life personalities, be they musicians
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: or actors in the bad Lands feed or even athletes
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: who've talked about them as well. You guys always bring
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: something interesting to the table. You inspire me. You make
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: me think about how I want this podcast to live
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: in the world and grow in the world, and what
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about, what I want to research,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: what I want to write. Same goes for the folks
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: who work here at Double Elvis. I know Zeth Lundy
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: is thinking he feels the same exact way as he's
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: hearing this, So just we are grateful. I am personally
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: grateful thank you. Let's not stop. Twenty twenty four is
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: going to be a banger of a year. All right,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: enjoy your families this Thanksgiving break. I'm going to take
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: a quick break right here. I'll be back though, in
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: just a few minutes. All right, we are back. And
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: before we get into your voicemail and your texts, I
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: just want to do a quick little couple beats here
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: on Blondie the band. Okay, because Debbie Harry eats up
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: a lot of the real estate when we think and
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: talk about Blondie. There's even some folks who have thought
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and always will think that Debbie Harry is Blondie. But
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: she's not their real band. They're They're They're They're a
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: full band, a rock and roll band. It is not
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: a solo act. It never has been, never will be.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: And I just want to say they're a great band.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: And when they were one of the first MTV bands ever,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: And when I was a teeny tiny little boy and
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: conscious of television, quite frankly left alone by my parents
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: or my babysitter to just watch television that was probably
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: highly inappropriate to me, but nonetheless had a great deal
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: of influence on me. And who I am today. Blondie
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: was one of the first music videos that I think
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I'd ever seen, not the first. I think adam Ant
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: was probably the first. Clash Rock the Kasbob, Sorry, yeah,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: rock the Kasbob, but Blondie might have been I don't know,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: two or three four, something like that. So major influence
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: on me, major, major, major influence on me, And still
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: to this day when I hear Blondie, I feel good inside.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I feel nostalgic. But now I can look at it
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: objectively and I can actually look at what they were doing.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: What they were doing was genre, what they were doing
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: with style, what they were doing against the grain of
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: the scene that they were in that was propelling them.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: At the same time, they were mightily subversive and just
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: beyond cool. Blondie the band, and of course Debbie Harry,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: the front woman. You could just I talk about aliens
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: landing on the planet all the time and how we
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: would explain things to them. You could just if you
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: wanted to explain the word cool, you could just show
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: them a picture of Blondie. You really could. It would
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: do it, just that's it. You wouldn't even need words,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: just show them Debbie Harry and they will understand what
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: cool is. At least that's my opinion, and I understand
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: that it's subjective. Six one seven nine oh six six
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: six three eight. Coolest looking band of all time? Okay,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: you need a picture to explain how cool they are?
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Maybe you can do it without words. Who is it?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Let me know? Six one seven nine oh six sixty
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: six three eight voicemail and text. Speaking of which, let's
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: get into some voicemails right now. All right, so let's
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: check out this voicemail from Steve in the four one
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: two HI named.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Steve Kind about Mark Almond. One of my favorites from
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Mark Almond is Mark Almond with Fetus. I can't remember
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: the exact name of the album, but it's a great
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: little interpretation of his wile to act with the fetus Industrialism. Yeah,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure you know right now. He's a
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: member of Sauce Cell. He also played with people like
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Psycho TV. He's a great, great musician.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Have a good day, all right, Steve, got gotta clear
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: up some confusion here. I was talking about Mark Almond
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: a couple bonus episodes back, I received a bunch of
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: voicemails like you're Steve, I got a bunch of dms
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: from some smart informed music fans like yourself, hipping me
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: to the fact that Mark Almond is the lead singer
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: for the band Soft Cell. Tainted Love great song also
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: covered by the Far Side Revelation Records band from way back.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I think it was Far Side, No, I think it
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: was Shades Apart. It was Shades Apart also on Revelation.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Wasn't the Far Side anyhow, I digress, but saw Cell
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Mark Almond because I mentioned a song called the City
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: that I was obsessed with by Mark Almond. Now, as
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: soon as I heard this, I felt, oh, Jake, you moron,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: How did you not know that this was the guy
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: from Soft Cell? And I was just I just happened
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: to see the video for tamed Love great video the
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: other night as well, and I was like, Wow, this
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: singer is really fucking interesting because I hadn't really seen
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: the band before, you know, so I look into it.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Turns out it's not the same Mark Almond. There's if
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: you go on Spotify you can in search the City
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: by Mark Almond. You will see what I'm talking about.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: And they're also Mark Almond is stylized Mark Dash Almond. Okay,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: So that got me thinking, Okay, what the hell's happening here?
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: So I looked into it and it's actually sometimes there's
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: sometimes owned as the Mark Almond Band. Two dudes, one
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: last named Mark, the other last named Almond, have this
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: sort of jazz fusion seventies thing that's incredible. And that's
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: what I was getting into, not Mark Almond from soft Cell,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: but this fetus thing sounds really interesting. And now I
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: kind of want to reach out to Mark Almond because
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I've gotten so much incoming from you guys on Mark
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Almon fans frankly and uh soft Cell fans. I kind
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: of want to reach out to them and interview them
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: for you guys and talk to him here. I think
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: that'd be a really cool thing. Definitely a lot of interest.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: So if you guys are interested in that, hit me up,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: just you don't have to call, you know, tech six
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: one seven nine oh six six six three eight. See
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: what kind of interest we can get going here for
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Mark Allman from Soft Cell interview, I'll get hip on
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: his whole catalog. Sounds like an interesting guy, looks like
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: an interesting guy. He's been making music for a long,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: long long time. And has a real fan base, and
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I think he'd be cool to talk to you, and
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I think you guys would appreciate that. And I can
• 15:32

• 15:43
  Speaker 4: Hey, Jake, it's Ellie your guys here from the nine
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: oh nine, playing in on my own burning questions I
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: had about the wuting Sava that you just did. So
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: my favorite member is after All, which is a genius.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: My favorite album of his is Liquid Swords from nineteen
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: ninety five, and my favorite looking album as a whole
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: group is obviously OG and thirty six Chambers. I'm sorry,
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: there's just no comparison and there never will be. And
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: then the fun set I learned while it's being to
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: you is that Gizza was the only member to trust
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: the full integrity of the entire rap game to not
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: even sign a contract to a Little Records. That's kind
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: of cool. I didn't even realize that it got that deep,
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: but that's awesome. And the quick Little five note is
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: that the gizz Rizza and ODB sure a grandma. That
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: just sounds really cool. Anyway, Yeah, thanks for the series man,
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: I was amazing and hopefully I hear more amazing stuff
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: coming out of the show.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Thanks Ellie, great voicemail. Thank you. Yeah, you know, I
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: was talking about this with Zeth, who I mentioned I
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: mentioned earlier. Zeth writes at Double Elvis, and we talk
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: a lot about what we're making, what most interests us
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: about these stories, and you're hitting the nail on the head,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: you know, you just you know, you said the most
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: interesting fact for you, fun little factor I think is
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: how you quoted it about the Ji's and not signing
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: that contract, which is fascinating. But I think there's in
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: every episode we do, you know, even the Blondie Ted
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Bundy connection that's a version of these sort of like
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: these elements of these stories that are just they're the
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: most interesting parts to me.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: It's like if we're gonna watch a Debbie Harry documentary
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: or behind the Music, not to slight behind the music.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I love behind the music. I grew up on it,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: or just something any documentary you're gonna get, you're gonna
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: get the same story, and what we're trying to do
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: is give you this interesting insight that's really compelling and
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: really interesting, and I feel like oftentimes I don't do
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: a good enough job talking about it here with you guys.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: So thank you Ellie for for bringing one of these up.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: And it's just interesting your time, He's perfect. A Zeth
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: and I were just talking about how we're going to
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: do this more. How are we going to talk more
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: about these how we're going to shine a light on
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: these interesting aspects of these stories, you know, because even
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: when I promote them, when I promote them on Instagram
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: where you see the metadata in your feed, or I
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: talk about it in here, I seldom get to those
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: like those weird little moments, you know, Like I talked
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: about it on in my stories this past week regarding
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know why, but I was thinking of Frank
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe and just the fact that you know,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Merrily Monroe, everyone knows you hooked up with John F. Kennedy.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: You're gonna watch any documentary out there about Merril Monroe,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: they're going to talk about her affair with John F.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Kennedy.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: And the same goes for any documentary about John F. Kennedy,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: they're going to talk about her his affair with Marilyn Monroe.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: But the thing that they're not going to tell you
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: about probably is that Frank Sinatra is the one who
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: connected them at his home in Palm Springs and that's
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: where they first hooked up. And that, to me is
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: really interesting For some reason, I don't know why. It
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: just is same thing with John Lennon. The John Lennon
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: episode that we did. We did a two part around
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: John Lee and way back in season two of Disgraceland,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I believe, and in the research I found all these
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: amazing anecdotes about John Lennon, about what he watched on television,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: about how he was obsessed with Barbara Walters and thought
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: she was smoking hot, you know, all this interesting stuff,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: and I put a lot of it into the episode.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: And that's just a perfect example of what I'm talking about.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: There are these really interesting tidbits that the research throws
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: off that we try to put into these episodes that
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: you and I don't get enough time to talk about
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: and to geek out on. And I think, honestly, that's
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: why we're here. That's why you guys are listening to Disgraceland.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: That's what makes that's in part what makes it different.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: So again, Ellie, thanks for reminding me us of that.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: And let's make a concerted effort in the new year
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: to talk more about these weird little anecdotes that are
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: in all these episodes. Let's do one more voicemail here,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: this one from the seven to seven five.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: Hi, Jake, this is from the seven five, and I
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: was telling me the one I'm to introduce myself, I'm
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: a trust driver. A friend of mine who's also a
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: trust driver, jes right, was the one man I introduced
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: me to this great plan and then I found the
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: after party and it's just been a fun riding. Since
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: I love your show. You're doing great work. So about
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: the question is to what song would be played at
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: my funeral? I would have to say Life is Beautiful
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: by six Am. Love that song because it's so true. Anyway,
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: thank you so much for listening, and I will start

  Speaker 1: like Stevie and Stevie give a shout to Desiree for

• 21:33
  Speaker 1: truckers who have called in, And unfortunately I can't play
• 21:36

• 21:41
  Speaker 1: thing we got to figure out. I got to figure
• 21:43

  Speaker 1: voicemails and texts, and I promise you I'm working on
• 21:49

  Speaker 1: what I'm trying to figure out with you guys. So
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: if you're not receiving a voicemail or a text back
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: from me away, be patient trying to get through them.
• 22:03
