0:01
Speaker 1: Hey, discos, need a little more Disgraceland in your life,
0:05
Speaker 1: just to touch to get you through.
0:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, me too.
0:08
Speaker 1: This is the podcast that comes after the podcast. Welcome
0:12
Speaker 1: to Disgraceland, the after Party. Welcome to the Disgraceland bonus episode,
0:30
Speaker 1: a little thing we like to call the after party.
0:33
Speaker 1: This is the show after the show, the party after
0:35
Speaker 1: the party, the bridge to get you from one full
0:37
Speaker 1: episode of Disgraceland to the other, the backyard to dig
0:40
Speaker 1: into the dirt. On this bonus episode, we are talking
0:44
Speaker 1: about this week's full episode subject Blink one two and
0:48
Speaker 1: Tom DeLong, and also talking about what kind of UFO
0:51
Speaker 1: JFK and Sean dinny Combe's disclosure that we will actually
0:56
Speaker 1: end up getting. We're previewing Richard Pryor and Rick James,
0:59
Speaker 1: and we get in to your voicemails, text DMS emails
1:02
Speaker 1: and as always.
1:03
Speaker 2: A whole lot of rosie.
1:05
Speaker 1: All Right, discoes, let's get into it. Why do we
1:24
Speaker 1: care about the things we don't know? About the things
1:27
Speaker 1: we can't know, or perhaps aren't supposed to know, whether
1:31
Speaker 1: or not aliens exist?
1:32
Speaker 2: Who killed JFK?
1:34
Speaker 1: Which a list celebrities are on those ditty tapes Our
1:38
Speaker 1: heads have been spinning for the past few months in
1:40
Speaker 1: anticipation of knowing the truth at the heart of all
1:43
Speaker 1: of these stories. And I've certainly done my part here
1:46
Speaker 1: in ginning up that anticipation for all of us. I
1:50
Speaker 1: hear from you, guys, and most of you are like me.
1:52
Speaker 1: Most of you want the truth, which is another way
1:54
Speaker 1: of saying that you don't believe that the official story
1:57
Speaker 1: surrounding these topics is the whole truth. But what if
2:00
Speaker 1: it is? What if we are alone in the universe?
2:05
Speaker 1: What if Oswald did do JFK by himself? And what
2:09
Speaker 1: if Ditty is innocent on this? I hear from you
2:12
Speaker 1: guys as well. There's a small minority of you who
2:15
Speaker 1: write in weekly the voice your skepticism about any or
2:18
Speaker 1: all of these topics, and I engage with you, but
2:21
Speaker 1: my heart isn't really in it. And this morning I
2:23
Speaker 1: ask myself, why is it? Because I'm actually a crackpot
2:28
Speaker 1: conspiracy theorist. No, I am far from it. The earth
2:33
Speaker 1: is round. Those dudes landed on the moon back in
2:35
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty nine nine to eleven was not an inside job.
2:39
Speaker 1: Paul McCartney didn't die, and Elvis I'm sorry to report
2:42
Speaker 1: is not alive.
2:45
Speaker 2: But when it comes to the question of.
2:47
Speaker 1: Whether or not we are alone in this universe, when
2:50
Speaker 1: it comes to the question of the jfk assassination, and
2:54
Speaker 1: if we were sold a bad bill of goods, when
2:56
Speaker 1: it comes to Ditty in the sex tapes, there is
3:00
Speaker 1: just too much available evidence and I can't dismiss the
3:05
Speaker 1: so called conspiracies around these stories. In particular, it's the evidence,
3:11
Speaker 1: but if I'm being honest, it's also because I, like
3:15
Speaker 1: you guys, love a good story. These big, in some
3:20
Speaker 1: cases humanity altering topics and the open ended questions that
3:24
Speaker 1: surround them. The endless conjecture, the connecting of the dots,
3:28
Speaker 1: the spookiness, the eeriness, the massive pop culture and historical
3:31
Speaker 1: bold faced names who serve as characters in these stories.
3:35
Speaker 1: All of it makes for incredible storytelling. But what happens
3:39
Speaker 1: when we get the truth about these stories, when there
3:42
Speaker 1: are no more questions. This week's episode subject, Tom DeLong
3:47
Speaker 1: of Blank one eighty two said about the drones flying
3:50
Speaker 1: over New Jersey and elsewhere during the last part of
3:52
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four just a couple months ago. Drones that many,
3:56
Speaker 1: myself included, wanted to believe were not just drone and
4:00
Speaker 1: where some sort of UAP or unexplained aerial phenomena. Tom
4:05
Speaker 1: was quoted saying on his Instagram this past December to
4:08
Speaker 1: his one and a half million followers, quote, the drones
4:11
Speaker 1: that are being discussed can hover for six hours and
4:14
Speaker 1: then disappear once they are spotted. This is why it's
4:16
Speaker 1: been hard to get facts from any US agency unquote.
4:20
Speaker 1: DeLong goes on to say that some of them can
4:22
Speaker 1: even move into the ocean and then back up to
4:25
Speaker 1: the air, which is called trans medium travel, a.
4:28
Speaker 2: Very hard thing to do.
4:30
Speaker 1: And then Tom posts this document that is from the
4:34
Speaker 1: United States Air Force, and Tom is commenting on what
4:37
Speaker 1: this document says. Again, this is on his Instagram. You
4:39
Speaker 1: can check that out. Tom goes on to say, if
4:42
Speaker 1: you look at this document, it seems like a repeat
4:44
Speaker 1: of exactly what happened in the sixties. There is a
4:47
Speaker 1: good chance that these things could potentially be mimicking other aircraft.
4:52
Speaker 1: And this even happened more recently in situations at Skinwalker
4:55
Speaker 1: Ranch years ago when it was being studied the US
4:58
Speaker 1: government under baas AATIP, and again also decades ago in
5:02
Speaker 1: the sixties. Tom continues, it's all something to consider unquote,
5:08
Speaker 1: and then he adds finally here a quote. And although
5:11
Speaker 1: we don't have all the facts yet, we do know
5:15
Speaker 1: that UFOs play with mimicry, and that has been known
5:18
Speaker 1: for quite some time. Why to get us to notice
5:21
Speaker 1: them without a major freak out?
5:22
Speaker 2: Who knows?
5:23
Speaker 1: But well, we are noticing nonetheless, And again Tom is
5:28
Speaker 1: saying this all in reference to the drones over New
5:31
Speaker 1: Jersey and elsewhere on the East Coast, largely on the
5:34
Speaker 1: East Coast. I know they are elsewhere in America. Now,
5:37
Speaker 1: Tom doesn't go all the way and say that the
5:38
Speaker 1: drones are UAPs, but it's implied. And Tom was, of course,
5:43
Speaker 1: like the rest of us, searching for answers because the
5:45
Speaker 1: White House at the time claimed that the drones did
5:49
Speaker 1: not pose a national security risk and leaned into the
5:53
Speaker 1: assertion that these drones were operated by drone hobbyists, which
5:56
Speaker 1: stretched credibility because, as many saw with their own eyes,
6:00
Speaker 1: myself included, these drones were massive, beyond anything a hobbyist
6:04
Speaker 1: could operate. Furthermore, commercial drone use is not allowed at night. Okay,
6:09
Speaker 1: Then the White House spokesperson came out this week. Okay,
6:13
Speaker 1: new White House new spokesperson comes out this week and
6:17
Speaker 1: it says, you know, with a little more detail, that yes,
6:21
Speaker 1: the drones were not a national security risk, they were
6:25
Speaker 1: FAA approved aerial vehicles deployed by the previous White House
6:29
Speaker 1: administration to conduct research. So, in effect, this White House
6:33
Speaker 1: is confirming what the last White House said about the drones,
6:36
Speaker 1: taking it a step further and saying that they were
6:39
Speaker 1: FAA approved aerial vehicles that were in fact deployed by
6:43
Speaker 1: the previous White House administration to conduct research. Now, what
6:47
Speaker 1: neither White House has given us answers on is what
6:49
Speaker 1: the hell types of drones were worthies? And what were
6:53
Speaker 1: they supposedly researching and whatever? I mean, you know government secrecy,
6:58
Speaker 1: you know military operations. I guess they don't have to
7:01
Speaker 1: be transparent. But people were freaked the fuck out. That's
7:04
Speaker 1: not the point. The point is what a bummer?
7:08
Speaker 2: That's it?
7:11
Speaker 3: These things aren't even Chinese or Iranian drones send here
7:14
Speaker 3: to assassinate the president or to Manturian candidate one of
7:18
Speaker 3: us with their high powered gamma rays or whatever research.
7:23
Speaker 2: How fucking boring is that.
7:25
Speaker 1: So this story now sucks, but it doesn't change my
7:29
Speaker 1: opinion that we are not alone in this universe. It
7:31
Speaker 1: doesn't change my take on Tom DeLong from Blink one
7:33
Speaker 1: eighty two's disclosure efforts, but it did get me thinking
7:36
Speaker 1: about some of these other theories in a new light.
7:39
Speaker 1: It was announced last week that the JFK files are
7:42
Speaker 1: to be released in the coming days, perhaps in time
7:45
Speaker 1: for the next after party. Guys, So what the hell
7:47
Speaker 1: is in those files?
7:49
Speaker 2: Now?
7:50
Speaker 1: We can go on and on imagining and trying to
7:52
Speaker 1: figure this out. But what if nothing is in the files?
7:56
Speaker 1: What if the files, the JFK files indisputably confirm the
8:01
Speaker 1: lone gunman theory. What if there's no CIA involvement. What
8:05
Speaker 1: if there's no mafia involvement, nobody Harrelson's dad, no George
8:08
Speaker 1: Bush Senior, no, nothing. Well that will suck too, And
8:13
Speaker 1: what the hell kind of story does that leave us with?
8:16
Speaker 2: And what if the opposite is true?
8:18
Speaker 1: What if our wildest JFK conspiracy theories or theory is
8:22
Speaker 1: proven in just seven or so days, Well that's gonna
8:26
Speaker 1: suck too, because we're no longer going to have this amazing,
8:28
Speaker 1: endless theory and all the wild storytelling attached to it
8:32
Speaker 1: to occupy our brains with. Either way, we're headed toward
8:35
Speaker 1: the end of an era here with the JFK story,
8:36
Speaker 1: and I don't know how I feel about it. I
8:38
Speaker 1: guess what I'm saying is right now, I kind of
8:42
Speaker 1: like not knowing. If what's revealed in the JFK files
8:46
Speaker 1: is underwhelming, most of us are going to be supremely
8:50
Speaker 1: bummed out.
8:51
Speaker 2: But we shall see.
8:52
Speaker 1: Now leaving JFK behind, this brings me to the last
8:55
Speaker 1: of the big three conspiracy theories floating around out there,
8:57
Speaker 1: floating around in my brain right now, and that's the
9:00
Speaker 1: Didty tapes. First of all, it's my belief, especially after
9:03
Speaker 1: watching the first episode of this new Diddy doc that
9:06
Speaker 1: just dropped on Peacock on HBO as well. You can
9:09
Speaker 1: watch on HBO. Didd he is a monster. Okay, this
9:13
Speaker 1: this documentary just episode one. I haven't seen the episode
9:15
Speaker 1: two yet, which is available. I'm gonna watch it tonight.
9:18
Speaker 1: I meant to watch it in time for this after
9:20
Speaker 1: party to talk to you guys about it, but last
9:22
Speaker 1: night was fucked for a lot of reasons. Anyhow, This
9:26
Speaker 1: is kind of the nail in the coffin for me
9:28
Speaker 1: with Sean Combs, and you know, as far as his
9:31
Speaker 1: guilt is concerned, now to the level of his guilt,
9:33
Speaker 1: I don't know, But like I said, dude is a monster.
9:36
Speaker 1: He denies everything in this new series, all the allegations,
9:40
Speaker 1: he denies it.
9:41
Speaker 2: Of course. However, this is why it's.
9:43
Speaker 1: The nail in the coffin for me. The people who
9:45
Speaker 1: go on record in this documentary are real people. They
9:48
Speaker 1: are real people with real careers. They are real people
9:51
Speaker 1: who are involved in the music industry. They're not just
9:56
Speaker 1: they're You can't you can't just say they're looking for
9:59
Speaker 1: a quick bite. I mean, I'm sure you can with
10:01
Speaker 1: some I haven't Obviously I haven't seen I said, I
10:03
Speaker 1: haven't seen episode two. I haven't seen the whole series.
10:06
Speaker 1: But that said, from what I have seen, this is
10:09
Speaker 1: not TikTok conjecture at all. These people are credible, okay,
10:14
Speaker 1: and it is in the details, I know, storytelling, Okay.
10:18
Speaker 1: The allegations are incredibly explicit, they are incredibly detailed, and
10:24
Speaker 1: you can be your own judge. But like I said,
10:28
Speaker 1: this is the final nail in the coffin for me,
10:30
Speaker 1: based on Diddy's guilt or just based on the notion
10:32
Speaker 1: of whether or not this dude is a monster. Okay,
10:36
Speaker 1: After watching this one episode here, on top of everything
10:40
Speaker 1: else I've read about this guy, it is now for me,
10:44
Speaker 1: it's indisputable. This dude is capable of anything. Okay, but
10:48
Speaker 1: again we shall see innocent until proven guilty and all
10:52
Speaker 1: that right, And you know, to be fair, this still
10:56
Speaker 1: doesn't prove the wildest of conspiracies here that Sean Combs
10:59
Speaker 1: was acting like a model de Caligila and has those
11:01
Speaker 1: tapes filled with footage of his A list celebrity friends
11:04
Speaker 1: caught up in some weird satanic sexual ritual type stuff.
11:09
Speaker 1: That's a stretch, but like I said, we shall see.
11:13
Speaker 1: I guess the point is it was a weird week
11:16
Speaker 1: for storytelling. In the next few weeks, I believe are
11:18
Speaker 1: going to be even weirder, So make sure you're listening
11:21
Speaker 1: to the after Party because we're going to get into
11:22
Speaker 1: all of it. Also, next week, we are continuing with
11:25
Speaker 1: our icon series, bringing it to an end with one
11:28
Speaker 1: of our last, but not the last, non music related
11:31
Speaker 1: topics in the Disgrace Sland Feed. This one is on
11:34
Speaker 1: Richard Pryor, and when you're listening to it, I want
11:36
Speaker 1: you guys to be thinking about which comedian from your
11:38
Speaker 1: youth now prior predates my childhood. But he's a direct
11:42
Speaker 1: influence on Eddie Murphy, whose stand up when I was
11:44
Speaker 1: a kid was must watch, must memorize, must show up
11:49
Speaker 1: at the bus top, must be as profane as possible
11:52
Speaker 1: as a little twelve year old kid, or whatever. That
11:55
Speaker 1: kind of influence. Okay, now, Eddie Murphy was directly influenced
11:58
Speaker 1: by Richard Pryor. Richard Pryor might be part of your childhood.
12:01
Speaker 2: I don't know.
12:01
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe it's someone else, Maybe it's Adam Sandler, maybe
12:04
Speaker 1: it's who knows. But the question that I want you
12:07
Speaker 1: to be thinking about when you're listening to this Richard
12:09
Speaker 1: Pryor episode is when you were a kid, which comedian
12:13
Speaker 1: made you laugh the hardest? And why we started showing
12:16
Speaker 1: my oldest this past weekend, actually unrelated to this, we
12:20
Speaker 1: started showing my oldest son and actually, I guess by extension,
12:23
Speaker 1: my youngest song too. The nineties Adam Sandler movies, and
12:28
Speaker 1: he's dying. He's loving it. So I know that right now,
12:32
Speaker 1: if I asked him this question twenty years from now,
12:34
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Adam Sandler would be his answer.
12:36
Speaker 2: Based on this last week alone. He's obsessed.
12:39
Speaker 1: He's quoting the films highly inappropriate, but pretty innocent. So anyways,
12:44
Speaker 1: for you guys, next week's question of the week thinking
12:47
Speaker 1: about this when you're listening to the Richard Prior episode
12:49
Speaker 1: is going to be which comedian from your youth made
12:51
Speaker 1: you laugh the hardest and why you can let me
12:53
Speaker 1: know six one seven nine oh six six six three
12:55
Speaker 1: eight voicemail and text at disgrace lampod on the socials.
12:59
Speaker 1: Coming up for that Richard Prior episode, however, and coming
13:02
Speaker 1: up next in your feed here after this bonus episode
13:05
Speaker 1: is our rewind episode on Rick James. Now, guys, if
13:09
Speaker 1: you haven't heard this episode before, if you're like, who
13:11
Speaker 1: the fuck is Rick James, do not sleep on this episode.
13:14
Speaker 1: Do not skip this episode. You will miss out. I
13:17
Speaker 1: assure you. Same goes for those of you OG discos
13:20
Speaker 1: who heard this episode when it was originally released. If
13:22
Speaker 1: that's you, I invite you to listen to this episode again.
13:25
Speaker 1: And it's for a couple of reasons. The main one
13:27
Speaker 1: is that this story is insane. What Rick James did
13:30
Speaker 1: in his career, the crimes, the transgressions, they are mind blowing.
13:34
Speaker 1: People are aware of the kidnapping and the torture chargers
13:37
Speaker 1: from later in his career. But this dude's whole life
13:40
Speaker 1: was one long crime saga. It's hard for me to
13:44
Speaker 1: think of another musician who better embodies the rock and
13:47
Speaker 1: rolla criminally minded lifestyle than Rick James. Honestly, I could
13:51
Speaker 1: do ten episodes on this dude. The other reason I
13:53
Speaker 1: want you to listen to this episode is because Rick James.
13:56
Speaker 1: Rick James is one of those weird artists where if
13:58
Speaker 1: I say anything remotely critical about him, people freak the
14:03
Speaker 1: fuck out. He's beloved, which is bizarre. Give him what
14:06
Speaker 1: a psychopath he was and how much horror he brought
14:09
Speaker 1: upon people, but he did make incredible, fantastic, mold breaking music,
14:16
Speaker 1: and that's the whole story for some, but it's not
14:18
Speaker 1: for us. Okay, Rick got up to some bullshit, wild
14:21
Speaker 1: dramatic true crime bullshit, and when I talk about it
14:24
Speaker 1: online later this week, you're going to see some people
14:27
Speaker 1: freak out. So listen to this episode so you can
14:29
Speaker 1: hear what all the insanity is about and be part
14:31
Speaker 1: of the conversation. Disgrace Sam pod on the socials, on Instagram,
14:35
Speaker 1: on Facebook, on TikTok on X. All Right, I'm going
14:38
Speaker 1: to take a quick break I'll be back shortly with
14:40
Speaker 1: your voicemails, text and dms from our question of the week.
15:03
Speaker 1: You guys know how to get in touch with me
15:04
Speaker 1: six one seven nine oh six sixty six three eight
15:07
Speaker 1: to leave a voicemail, to send me a text. Look,
15:09
Speaker 1: it seems like you guys, this happens from week to
15:11
Speaker 1: week sometimes. You know, you guys just want to keep
15:14
Speaker 1: digging into an episode. You don't want to stop talking
15:16
Speaker 1: about the Beastie Boys, And I'm just going to roll
15:18
Speaker 1: with it. So let's hear from Emily in the nine
15:21
Speaker 1: oh six.
15:22
Speaker 4: Hey, dig it is Emily of the nine oh six,
15:26
Speaker 4: And I say of the as I grew up in
15:29
Speaker 4: rule Up Peninsula of Michigan, and my music education was
15:36
Speaker 4: my dad's records and the videos I could catch on
15:40
Speaker 4: MTV when I could speak and turn it on when
15:43
Speaker 4: my mom with that word. I appreciated the BC Boys
15:48
Speaker 4: episode so much because BC Boys hold that place in
15:52
Speaker 4: my heart entirely because I was drawn in by their videos.
15:57
Speaker 4: They just that's my childhood. Oh strange, and it's so weird.
16:01
Speaker 4: But with your half of the visuals, I guess that
16:05
Speaker 4: ties you to the artist. But is that an episode
16:08
Speaker 4: right there? Looking at some really influential and breakthrough videos
16:15
Speaker 4: and the stories behind them, because you know there's some
16:18
Speaker 4: debauchery in some of those videos. And also I always
16:22
Speaker 4: want to ask, why is there no Dave Grohle Foot
16:25
Speaker 4: Fighters episode question mark? Anyways, thank you for the content
16:30
Speaker 4: you bring to us. All I appreciate it so very much.
16:33
Speaker 4: And I also appreciate your voice because I fall asleep
16:37
Speaker 4: to it every night and then listen to the full
16:39
Speaker 4: episode in the morning. All Right, thanks so much, Emily.
16:42
Speaker 1: Thank you for the voicemail. I appreciate it. It sounds like
16:45
Speaker 1: you and I had a very similar upbringing, exposed to
16:49
Speaker 1: new music through our parents' record collections and MTV. As
16:54
Speaker 1: for your question as to whether or not we could
16:58
Speaker 1: do subjects on specific videos, I suppose we could if
17:02
Speaker 1: the story behind the video was juicy enough. And I
17:04
Speaker 1: haven't come across anything yet that has sort of prompted
17:08
Speaker 1: me to go, huh, that'd be a cool idea. I
17:11
Speaker 1: kind of like sometimes using a singular event to tell
17:17
Speaker 1: not the full story, but to just tell a whole
17:19
Speaker 1: story that takes place around one event. I just the
17:21
Speaker 1: Martin Scorsese episode that I just wrote that's coming out in.
17:24
Speaker 2: A couple of weeks.
17:25
Speaker 1: Is basically that it would be fun, though, to tackle
17:28
Speaker 1: a video. So if anyone has any ideas about the
17:31
Speaker 1: crazy stories but the production of some of the videos
17:35
Speaker 1: from our past the eighties and nineties, etc.
17:37
Speaker 2: Let me know.
17:38
Speaker 1: Ask your question about the Foo Fighters, Emily. You know,
17:40
Speaker 1: I just don't know if there's enough there. You know,
17:44
Speaker 1: Dave Grohle cheating on his wife certainly shitty behavior. Is
17:48
Speaker 1: it that interesting though? I was it going to make

Speaker 1: Chandler at the time when I wrote. Those episodes are
19:40

19:56
Speaker 1: know that I could name more than the enema of
19:58
Speaker 1: the State album. That story story had me hooked from
20:01
Speaker 1: start to finish. I nodded alone, was occasionally skeptical, but
20:04
Speaker 1: always a believer of the storytelling. Well done, Jake, rock
20:06
Speaker 1: a rolla that's from the eighth three. Thanks eight oh three.
20:09
Speaker 1: Happy to be making believers of you guys. Seven to
20:12
Speaker 1: one six texts in, this was almost the story of
20:14
Speaker 1: the week, almost the story of a week. It's it's
20:17
Speaker 1: a good one. But seven one six writes here, so
20:20
Speaker 1: here's a story. Not sure about rock and roll history,
20:22
Speaker 1: but it's one you play a role in. For me,
20:25
Speaker 1: I was excited to listen to Dead and Gone. For
20:27
Speaker 1: those of you who don't know, I did a podcast
20:29
Speaker 1: in partnership with my buddy Payne Lindsay a couple of
20:31
Speaker 1: years ago about missing in dead grateful dead fans. It's
20:34
Speaker 1: called Dead and Gone, so that's what the seven to
20:36
Speaker 1: one six is referring to. I was excited to listen
20:39
Speaker 1: to Dead and Gone. I always knew that I saw
20:40
Speaker 1: one of Jerry Garcia's last shows, but shortly after he died,
20:44
Speaker 1: I was in a car accident that resulted to me
20:46
Speaker 1: getting retrograde amnesia. The second time I listened to your
20:50
Speaker 1: story about the seven to ninety five show at Deer Creek,
20:54
Speaker 1: it hit me and I remembered that I was there,
20:58
Speaker 1: not a gate crasher because I had a tick. I
21:00
Speaker 1: remember a lot of shows, but thanks for bringing back
21:02
Speaker 1: that one for me. Another little tie into a last
21:05
Speaker 1: show ten twenty seventy four at the Winterland was the
21:07
Speaker 1: last show before their hiatus and the day I was
21:09
Speaker 1: born as well. Don't remember that one either. Seven one six,
21:14
Speaker 1: great text. I love your sense of humor about your
21:18
Speaker 1: retrograde amnisia. What a wild thing to have, and I'm
21:21
Speaker 1: happy that we were able to remind you of some
21:24
Speaker 1: of your memories. Pretty cool. Three Zho two text said, Hey,
21:27
Speaker 1: have you seen Beyond Saturday Night on Peacock? If I
21:29
Speaker 1: remember correctly, you're a big Will Ferrell fan, there's an
21:31
Speaker 1: entire episode devoted to the cow bell bit. I recommend it.
21:35
Speaker 1: I've watched it twice and could watch it one hundred
21:37
Speaker 1: more times. At least I have not seen this. And
21:41
Speaker 1: Zeth and I Zeth was He texted me about this yesterday.
21:44
Speaker 1: Is this the quest Love produced show about the Saturday
21:48

21:52
Speaker 1: what you're referring to. And if so, I'm gonna watch it.
21:54
Speaker 1: I heard it's fantastic and I'm pumped to watch it.
21:57
Speaker 1: And yes, I am a Will Ferrell fan who's not
22:00
Speaker 1: so it' psyched to see this one of his most
22:02
Speaker 1: iconic skits brought to life here with a little more detail,
22:05
Speaker 1: hopefully at lumber af on Instagram. Rights, this universe is
22:09
Speaker 1: incomprehensibly large. To think we are the only life out
22:12
Speaker 1: there is insanely naive and very boring. Hey, I totally
22:16
Speaker 1: completely agree to that. I say exactly, You're absolutely right.
22:21
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Urman on Facebook rights. Hey Jake, Jeff from the

23:39
Speaker 1: your best story from your past, from the past of
23:42
Speaker 1: one of your friends or your family members, from something.
23:44
Speaker 1: Maybe it doesn't even have to be personal. It can
23:46
Speaker 1: be something that you read in a book, something that
23:48
Speaker 1: somebody told you, just some wild and crazy story from
23:53
Speaker 1: rock and roll history. The ones where you're involved, I
23:56
Speaker 1: gotta say, they're they're the best ones.
23:58
Speaker 2: I feel the passion coming through.
24:00
Speaker 1: And we do this all of course, in our effort
24:02
Speaker 1: to preserve the true spirit of rock and roll, because,
24:05
Speaker 1: as we said, these stories there, they will one day
24:08
Speaker 1: fade away, and it is our mission here in Disgraceland
24:10
Speaker 1: to make sure that that does not happen for a very, very,
24:13
Speaker 1: very long time. So this week's story that week comes
24:16
Speaker 1: from Vicky Westgate. Vicky Wright say, Hey, Jake, I just
24:19
Speaker 1: couldn't resist this. I had to reach out. I'm a
24:22
Speaker 1: goldsmith up in Canada who listens faithfully to your podcast
24:25
Speaker 1: while creating beautiful pieces of jewelry for customers, and I
24:28
Speaker 1: discovered you about a year ago. So back to why
24:30
Speaker 1: I felt compelled to write your story on the Keith
24:34
Speaker 1: Richards drug bust was big news when it happened for
24:38
Speaker 1: Stones fans here in Toronto. Stones fans like me, Maggie
24:43
Speaker 1: Trudeau's antics were just a sideline show.
24:46
Speaker 2: Okay.
24:47
Speaker 1: Vicky's email goes on to say, your pod on the
24:49
Speaker 1: drug Bust brought back many great memories, as I can
24:52
Speaker 1: proudly say that my boyfriend and I sat in the
24:55
Speaker 1: courthouse and watched the Keith Richards trial. Podcast took me
25:01
Speaker 1: back to my wild and wooly days where music was
25:04
Speaker 1: everything in the Toronto scene was incredible. Anyhow, we skipped
25:08
Speaker 1: school and we watched the trial with a few other
25:10
Speaker 1: smart ass rolling Stones fans, and we were smart ass
25:12
Speaker 1: as we figured out we could sit in the court
25:14
Speaker 1: gallery and watch Keith on trial for free. We were
25:18
Speaker 1: so close that I can vouch that, yes, he wore
25:21
Speaker 1: a tan suit, very seventies style and white socks. And
25:25
Speaker 1: I remember one fan my age wore a Starfucker T
25:28
Speaker 1: shirt he had just made that morning and was so
25:30
Speaker 1: proud of it. We were a rowdy bunch and we
25:33
Speaker 1: had to be reprimanded several times by the judge when
25:35
Speaker 1: he was going to kick us out, we took notice
25:37
Speaker 1: and we shut up. Thank you for making me relive
25:40
Speaker 1: this moment from my Rolling Stones fangirl life. As a
25:42
Speaker 1: side note, my boyfriend got to go to the concert
25:45
Speaker 1: for the blind.
25:46
Speaker 2: I didn't.
25:46
Speaker 1: I have no idea how we wrangled the ticket because
25:48
Speaker 1: you had to be a blind person to get in.
25:50
Speaker 2: He said. It was a fantastic concert. Of course. All
25:54
Speaker 2: the best and keep making great content.
25:56
Speaker 1: Love listening. Vicky from the six one three in Ontario, Canada.
25:59
Speaker 1: VICKI thank you so much for the story of the week.
26:02
Speaker 1: This is amazing, incredible. Look how savvy you guys were
26:06
Speaker 1: understanding that you could get into the trial for free
26:08
Speaker 1: and get up and close to a rolling Stone just
26:10
Speaker 1: like that.
26:10
Speaker 2: Amazing. I love it. Great story. Thank you for sending it.

26:55
Speaker 1: them here each week. And because the reviews, not only
26:59

27:07
Speaker 2: So you do a little favorite for me. I pick
27:09
Speaker 2: out a couple.
27:09
Speaker 1: Of you per week, read your reviews, and then you

27:13
Speaker 1: up with a couple free merch items. Again, whatever we got,
27:17
Speaker 1: whatever we got lying around the old studio here, okay,
27:19
Speaker 1: not making any promises for T shirts or pins or
27:23
Speaker 1: stickers or or books or whatever. It's whatever we got
27:26
Speaker 1: lying around, and we always have something cool lying around.
27:28

27:54
Speaker 1: response to the Blank one eighty two episode, great episode.
27:57
Speaker 1: Blink's lore is really interesting in Tom is such an
28:00
Speaker 1: inspiring person who always followed his heart.
28:02
Speaker 2: Christopher. I read your.
28:03
Speaker 1: Review because I haven't really talked about this at all
28:06
Speaker 1: on this after party. And really, it's the theme of
28:09
Speaker 1: the of the Blink one eighty two episode. It's not
28:11
Speaker 1: just that you know, Tom did this monumental thing and
28:14
Speaker 1: he's an unlikely hero and all that. It's just it's
28:17
Speaker 1: the fact that you know, the theme of that episode
28:19
Speaker 1: is that Tom is so purpose driven. His purpose has
28:23
Speaker 1: always been clearly defined, and he's been on that path
28:27
Speaker 1: since the beginning, even when it was really unpopular and
28:32
Speaker 1: difficult for him to be on that path. And I
28:34
Speaker 1: don't know, I just I value that. I think it's
28:35
Speaker 1: really cool and I like that you that you called
28:38
Speaker 1: it out here, Christopher.
28:39
Speaker 2: So get in touch, hit me up. Email me, hit

31:38
Speaker 2: hit me on the socials.
31:39
Speaker 1: Your favorite story of rock and roll animalism, as wild
31:42
Speaker 1: a story you can think of about a rock star
31:44
Speaker 1: that you're aware of, that you may have had a
31:45
Speaker 1: personal encounter with, something that you may have heard from
31:48
