Speaker 1: Hey, discos, need a little more Disgraceland in your life,
Speaker 1: just to touch to get you through. Yeah, me too.
Speaker 1: This is the podcast that comes after the podcast. Welcome
Speaker 1: to Disgraceland, the after Party. Welcome to the Disgraceland bonus episode,
Speaker 1: a little thing we like to call the after party.
Speaker 1: This is the show after the show, the party after
Speaker 1: the party, the bridge to get you from one full
Speaker 1: episode of Disgraceland to the other, the backyard to dig
Speaker 1: into the dirt. On this bonus episode, we are talking
Speaker 1: about this week's full episode subject said Vicious, Sean Diddy,
Speaker 1: Combs and jay Z. We got an update for you.
Speaker 1: We're getting into the next two episodes that are hitting
Speaker 1: your feet in honor of the Academy Awards that are
Speaker 1: coming up. First Dorothy Stratton and then our part two
Speaker 1: episode on Martin Scorsese, and we get into your voice, text, DMS,
Speaker 1: emails and as always, a whole lot of rosie. Alright,
Speaker 1: disc goes, let's get into it all right, So just
Speaker 1: imagine we're not sitting here in February. We're not blanketed
Speaker 1: in snow, We're not freezing our butts off. Imagine it's
Speaker 1: the summer. It's summer twenty twenty five, there's a worldwide
Speaker 1: cooling in temperature. It's perfect weather everywhere. It's seventy two
Speaker 1: and sunny. There's no humidity at the beach. This morning,
Speaker 1: you pulled a perfect pearl from an oyster. It was
Speaker 1: your second pearl on what seems like an endless vacation.
Speaker 1: There's peace in the Middle East. At home here in America,
Speaker 1: there's consensus among voters and our leaders on the direction
Speaker 1: of the country is to follow Morrissey and Johnny mar
Speaker 1: They've reunited the Smiths, as have Jack and Meg White
Speaker 1: the White Stripes. Both bands are on tour right now
Speaker 1: and tickets are only twenty bucks each. There are no
Speaker 1: additional fees. Even Okay, Congress has passed the Buck Stops
Speaker 1: Here Bill, a bipartisan piece of legislation that makes it
Speaker 1: illegal to charge more than a dollar for a hot dog,
Speaker 1: a coffee, or a glass of cheap beer. And Sean
Speaker 1: Ditty Combs has just been convicted of sex trafficking, racketeering, conspiracy,
Speaker 1: and transportation to engage in prostitution. The evidence against Ditty
Speaker 1: numerous videotapes showing him committing unthinkable sex crimes against his
Speaker 1: victims while being cheered on by other complicit a list
Speaker 1: celebrities is so damning that he's given the maximum sentence
Speaker 1: one hundred years plus life in a federal prison where
Speaker 1: he will spend all of the rest of his breathing moments.
Speaker 1: You want all of these things to happen, sure, but
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that they will. Okay, we didn't get
Speaker 1: justice for sid Vicius's death. You can hear all about
Speaker 1: that in this week's full episode of Disgrace San And
Speaker 1: this past week we learned that the case against jay
Speaker 1: Z was thrown out and that got me thinking, what
Speaker 1: in the hell is actually going to happen with this
Speaker 1: coming Sean Diddy Comb's trial. Do we think Comb's is guilty.
Speaker 1: That's a tough question. We've talked about it a bunch here,
Speaker 1: and you know we have evolving opinions on this, all right.
Speaker 1: Combs has been indicted and legally accused in multiple cases,
Speaker 1: criminal and civil, of sexual assault, abuse, and sex trafficking.
Speaker 1: Sean Diddy Combs denies all of these charges. Now when
Speaker 1: the court of public opinion, Combs has also been accused
Speaker 1: of a lot of other things, Okay, of grooming, of
Speaker 1: running a large scale celebrity blackmail operation and even of murder.
Speaker 1: Over on TikTok. With one quick search, you can find
Speaker 1: numerous videos accusing Sean Diddy Combs of murdering his ex
Speaker 1: wife kim Porter, of conspiring with jay Z to have
Speaker 1: so called Becky with the Good Hair to have her oft.
Speaker 1: There are those who accuse Sean Combs of having something
Speaker 1: to do with the deaths of Andre Herrel and Heavy d,
Speaker 1: even Aliyah and Whitney Houston TikTok conspiracy theories about Sean Combs. However,
Speaker 1: they do not stop there. The hip hop mogul is
Speaker 1: not only accused of sexually grooming underage pop stars Usher
Speaker 1: at the time and Justin Bieber also at the time.
Speaker 1: But you can hear and you can watch on TikTok
Speaker 1: ai Sean Combs. You can see this artificial intelligence content.
Speaker 1: You can see how do we refer to that AI content?
Speaker 1: Doesn't sound right anyways, It's AI generated content depicting Comb's
Speaker 1: raping and abusing Meek Mill, Bad Bunny and that fat
Speaker 1: dude from Family Matters the Dad. Not only are you
Speaker 1: going to get this deep fake content over on TikTok
Speaker 1: again audio and video, you're gonna get testimony from members
Speaker 1: of Sean Combs's inner circle, all right, mostly bodyguards and such,
Speaker 1: testifying on video corroborating these wild conspiracy theories. Now, to
Speaker 1: my knowledge, Sean Diddy Combs hasn't dignified these rumors. These
Speaker 1: the wildest of these rumors were a response, and he
Speaker 1: certainly hasn't admitted guilt in any way. And I am
Speaker 1: in no way suggesting that he is culpable for the
Speaker 1: wildest of these conspiracies that are being charged against Cobs
Speaker 1: so far, other than the actual video we have showing
Speaker 1: Sean did he Comb's viciously beating on his ex girlfriend
Speaker 1: Cassie Ventura, who, lets remind ourselves, accused Combs of abuse.
Speaker 1: Combs denied it, and then he settled with Cassie for
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars a day later, and then he denied
Speaker 1: all the subsequent abuse charges that were brought against him
Speaker 1: after that, charges by Rodney Little, Rod Jones and others.
Speaker 1: And then we saw and then we saw the video
Speaker 1: of Comb's beating Cassie that not only proved that Combs
Speaker 1: was an abuser, but it was also a proof that
Speaker 1: he is a liar or was a liar. That he
Speaker 1: lied about it. Okay, So aside from that evidence, however,
Speaker 1: nothing has leaked. No other evidence has leaked. There's been
Speaker 1: zero other evidence proving Sean Combs is guilty in any
Speaker 1: of these seedier, more outrageous TikTok conspiracy theories which bring
Speaker 1: me to jay Z. Jay Z is wrapped up with
Speaker 1: Sean Combs and a lot of these conspiracy theories as
Speaker 1: well over on TikTok and the civil case against jay
Speaker 1: Z that was just thrown out last week a couple
Speaker 1: of days ago, had a lot to do with Sean Combs. Okay,
Speaker 1: but puff it's gone. Why we don't really fully know
Speaker 1: yet officially because of quote unquote inconsistencies with the accuser's account,
Speaker 1: and I'm betting there was also a lack of evidence here.
Speaker 1: But that case is dead, jay Z free and clear.
Speaker 1: How does this relate to Sean Diddy Combs. So what
Speaker 1: we have to ask ourselves is the actual evidence against
Speaker 1: Sean Diddy Combs. What is there that is going to
Speaker 1: prevent Sean Diddy Combs and his case from going puff
Speaker 1: the way the jay Z's did. How consistent are the
Speaker 1: accounts from Sean Diddy Combs's accusers. How consistent are those
Speaker 1: accounts going to be on the stand. Let's cut the chase.
Speaker 1: What I believe that most people want, and maybe this
Speaker 1: is just because I'm fucked up and I'm being cynical here,
Speaker 1: but what I believe that most people want is they
Speaker 1: want Sean Ditty Combs to be found guilty, not only
Speaker 1: everything that he's accused of legally in that federal indictment,
Speaker 1: but also of everything that he's accused of on TikTok.
Speaker 1: I think there's a burning appetite in this country after
Speaker 1: years of injustice, particularly around the Jeffrey Epstein case. There's
Speaker 1: a yearning for justice when it comes to powerful people,
Speaker 1: particularly famous people who've abused their power, or who we
Speaker 1: believe to have abused their power. And I believe that
Speaker 1: most people want these atrocious conspiracy theories to be true,
Speaker 1: and that they want Diddy to be found guilty, and
Speaker 1: they want all of his celebrity friends to be found
Speaker 1: guilty too. Lebron and Kevin, Oprah and Gail and Ellen
Speaker 1: and Ashton and even the Donald. They're all on tape, right,
Speaker 1: They all gotta burn alongside Ditty? Am I one of
Speaker 1: these people? I don't know? Some days, sometimes I want
Speaker 1: the most entertaining outcome to be true just out of
Speaker 1: pure selfishness. The caveman part of me, I guess, wants
Speaker 1: some vengeance, but I try to keep that instinct pretty
Speaker 1: tamped down for the most part. You know, Ultimately, more
Speaker 1: than anything, I don't want these stories, the crazy conspiracy
Speaker 1: TikTok theory, I don't want any of it to be true.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I actually think that the best outcome is that Sean
Speaker 1: Diddy Coombs is actually innocent of what he's being accused of,
Speaker 1: because then there's no victims, then there's no collateral damage.
Speaker 1: I do I think that's going to happen. No, Do
Speaker 1: I think he's guilty of what he's being accused of
Speaker 1: on TikTok, of all these wild conspiracy theories. Do I
Speaker 1: think that he's going to be convicted of that We're
Speaker 1: going to find out it, you know, factually, that he
Speaker 1: did these things and that he's going to go to
Speaker 1: jail for them. As I teed it up at the
Speaker 1: beginning of this episode, I don't think so. That said,
Speaker 1: I'm not naive. Where there's smoke, there's fire, But we
Speaker 1: have to look at the facts, especially in light of
Speaker 1: this jay Z case being dismissed again on account of
Speaker 1: inconsistencies with the accusers account and likely lack of evidence.
Speaker 1: How strong is the evidence against Shandity Combs. We don't know, okay,
Speaker 1: but we've heard nothing about evidence that the Feds have
Speaker 1: that his legal accusers have. We've heard nothing in the
Speaker 1: way of real evidence. I'm not talking again, I'm not
Speaker 1: talking about the TikTok accusations. We've heard nothing and we've
Speaker 1: seen nothing that supports any of those TikTok conspiracy theories. Nothing,
Speaker 1: all right. All we know for sure is the following.
Speaker 1: Shandy Combs is in jail awaiting trial. The Feds, his
Speaker 1: accusers believe in this case. They brought the case. The
Speaker 1: judge believes Combs is too big a threat to be
Speaker 1: let out on bail. We don't know what the evidence is.
Speaker 1: We can only assume it supports the sexual assault, the abuse,
Speaker 1: the sex trafficking, and the RICO charges that the federal
Speaker 1: government is charging him with as of yet. As of late,
Speaker 1: no other high profile friends of Sean Combs have been
Speaker 1: legally accused, except for jay Z, who had the case
Speaker 1: thrown out again for inconsistencies from his accuser is Sean
Speaker 1: Didty Comb's going to be found guilty when he stands
Speaker 1: trial in two months. I don't know. Do I think
Speaker 1: we're going to get earth shattering evidence that incriminates not
Speaker 1: only Combs but also his A list celebrity friends in
Speaker 1: crimes that are unspeakable in most places except for the
Speaker 1: dark corners of TikTok At this point, judging by what
Speaker 1: went down with the jay Z case, and giving that
Speaker 1: there's been no again there's been no other actual evidence
Speaker 1: released or leaked to suggest otherwise, I really don't think so. However,
Speaker 1: this is still America, and just like Sean Didty, Combs
Speaker 1: maintains his right to plead the fifth so as not
Speaker 1: to incriminate himself, I maintained the right to change my
Speaker 1: mind new evidence. I'm not a dumb ass, but this
Speaker 1: is where I'm at at the moment. This jay Z
Speaker 1: thing threw me. I did not see this coming. I
Speaker 1: did not see this thing getting thrown out. So that's
Speaker 1: where we're at. I haven't done a Diddy update in
Speaker 1: a while. That's the Diddy update you know again out
Speaker 1: here throwing it at you guys because of the jay
Speaker 1: Z news. Thought I should bring it up. It's definitely changed,
Speaker 1: adjusting the way that I'm thinking. It's definitely affecting the
Speaker 1: way that I'm thinking I should say. But I'm interested
Speaker 1: to know what you guys think, all right, So hit
Speaker 1: me up and let me know what do you think
Speaker 1: is going to happen here with Sean Combs. Now, I
Speaker 1: mentioned it at the top of the show, the injustice
Speaker 1: surrounding Sid Vicious' death. We get into that in this
Speaker 1: week's full episode on Sid and Nancy, a classic Love
Speaker 1: Kills episode of disgrace slaying that we brought back for
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day. Now, the Oscars they're coming up, and with
Speaker 1: it being Valentine's Day, so the Valentine's Day Day season,
Speaker 1: I guess we have another wild love Kills them story.
Speaker 1: But again because the Oscars are coming, this love Kills
Speaker 1: themed episode comes from Hollywood. It's on Dorothy Stratton. Now,
Speaker 1: if you do not know who Dorothy Stratton is, do
Speaker 1: not let that stop you from listening. Dorothy was the
Speaker 1: next big thing, a true beauty, a perfect ten a
Speaker 1: dime spot, a woman so gorgeous. Playboy Hugh Hefner called
Speaker 1: her the next Marilyn Monroe. All right. That was the
Speaker 1: promise of Dorothy Stratton's burgeoning Hollywood career, and then it
Speaker 1: all ended quickly, violently, and disastrously. And I'm not going
Speaker 1: to spoil it, but let's just say that this story
Speaker 1: is so compelling. It's inspired multiple films, including by the
Speaker 1: Great Bob Fosse his excellent Star eighty with Eric Roberts,
Speaker 1: and also multiple songs like the Red Hot Chili Pepper's Californication,
Speaker 1: Brian Adams's Cuts like a Knife. So check out this
Speaker 1: episode on Dorothy Stratton, and then and then, and then,
Speaker 1: and then the following episode before we talk again in
Speaker 1: the next after party. You're gonna get another episode that's
Speaker 1: coming on Tuesday. It's Oscar themed as well. It is
Speaker 1: the wild story about the murder that director Martin Scorsese
Speaker 1: did not commit. The murder Martin Scorsese needed his friends
Speaker 1: Steven Spielberg and others to talk him out of on
Speaker 1: one legendary Hollywood night. This might be my favorite episode yet.
Speaker 1: It might be my favorite episode that I've written. Okay,
Speaker 1: I love it that much and I cannot wait for
Speaker 1: you to hear it. I wanted to tell this one
Speaker 1: for a while. The story is legendary in Hollywood. It
Speaker 1: was rumored to be true forever, but it wasn't confirmed.
Speaker 1: Quentin Tarantino would speak about it from time to time,
Speaker 1: and then in twenty fourteen, I believe Scorsese and Spielberg
Speaker 1: appeared together and confirmed it. It's a vicious story of
Speaker 1: violence and creative obsession and artistic commitment, and it involves
Speaker 1: some of the greatest directors, not only of the seventies
Speaker 1: but just from Hollywood history in general. When you're listening
Speaker 1: to it, I want you to be thinking of this,
Speaker 1: Who is your favorite filmmaker and why which director? Martin Scorsese,
Speaker 1: Steven Spielberg, Brian DePalma, any of the guys from this episode.
Speaker 1: This episode guys, it's like remember the Muppet mupp Babies.
Speaker 1: It's like Muppet babies for awesome Hollywood directors. This is
Speaker 1: about Scorsese, Spielberg, Brian de Palma, John Millius, Paul Schrader.
Speaker 1: When they're all just you know, coming up in the
Speaker 1: in the seventies. It's it's like their origin story in
Speaker 1: a way. That's the backdrop. Anyways, it's really solely about
Speaker 1: Martin Scorsese. But all these guys are characters in it,
Speaker 1: and it just begs the question, the question that I
Speaker 1: want you to be thinking about when you're listening to
Speaker 1: this episode, which is which director slash filmmaker makes the
Speaker 1: movies that resonate most with you and why I want
Speaker 1: to know let me know six one seven nine oh
Speaker 1: six six six three eight voicemail and text at Disgrace
Speaker 1: lampod on the Socials. That's going to be the question
Speaker 1: of the week next week, relative to our episode on
Speaker 1: Martin Scorsese coming this Tuesday, however, but before that, you're
Speaker 1: getting that Dorothy Stratton episode. Don't forget that. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be back in a flash with the answers to last
Speaker 1: week's Question of the week right after this. All right,

Speaker 1: Jake Ad from the four one to ero with my
Speaker 1: contribution for the worst and roll couple, Which rock and
Speaker 1: roll couple could possibly be worse? And the ultra cringey
Speaker 1: couple of Jerry Lee Lewis and his thirteen year old
Speaker 1: cousin Myra Gale. Hard to fault Myra Gale in this

Speaker 1: this story, but o MG crazy. I mean, Sid beats
Speaker 1: the murder rap for killing Nancy and then his mother. Basically, well,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna give it away for you guys here.
Speaker 1: What didn't see this coming at all? Awesome episode, love
Speaker 1: definitely kills. As for worst rock and roll couples, my
Speaker 1: pick is Pam and Tommy loved this podcast, Chris and
Speaker 1: everyone else. I've long wanted to do a Pam and
Speaker 1: Tommy episode, and maybe that's in the future. There's so
Speaker 1: much so I did a Motley Crue episode. There's so
Speaker 1: much more there, though, and a Pam and Tommy episode
Speaker 1: might be a way in. All right, let's hear from
Speaker 1: the five to four to oh on Sid and Nancy.
Speaker 2: Hey Jake, this is justin from the five four zero.
Speaker 2: I just finished listening to the didn't Nancy episode. I'm
Speaker 2: only listening to that thing like four times probably, but
Speaker 2: that is some of your best work. That is amazing.
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, It's just the way you tell
Speaker 2: the story. It comes across so vividly and so just
Speaker 2: I mean, the utter despair and grit and grime of
Speaker 2: nineteen seventies London, nineteen seventies New York. It was all
Speaker 2: just you know, a complete shit show. But they had
Speaker 2: some of the best music in the whole damn world.
Speaker 2: And that's what Mike said, all right, But I appreciate
Speaker 2: your story telling, man, I like that story. Rock and Rolling.
Speaker 1: Justin thanks to your voicemail, Man, happy you're digging the
Speaker 1: grime and the crime and the CID and the Nancy story.
Speaker 1: Appreciate your call and appreciate your listening. Six one seven
Speaker 1: nine oh six six six three eight. I talked last
Speaker 1: week a little bit about and I think I did
Speaker 1: it only in the Yeah, I did. I did the
Speaker 1: recommendations in the exclusive portion of the after party, so
Speaker 1: you guys missed out if you're not All Access members.
Speaker 1: But I gave some Valentine's recommendations, and one of them
Speaker 1: I won't I'll share it now because Valentine's Day has
Speaker 1: passed for the most part, I mean, I mean those
Speaker 1: still some of us celebrating, you know, for the lovers
Speaker 1: out there, I recommended Rocky as one of my favorite
Speaker 1: love stories and eight to eight rights and hey, Jake,
Speaker 1: I cannot agree with you. More on the Rocky love story.
Speaker 1: When I proposed to my wife, I used Rocky's proposal
Speaker 1: to Adrian voice and all. It was awesome piece Lee
Speaker 1: in the four one two Lee. That is some serious
Speaker 1: Rocky commitment there, proposing to your wife and the visistalone.
Speaker 1: Boyd you want to get married to? What? Okay, let's
Speaker 1: see what else we got here? All right? More on
Speaker 1: Prince versus Michael Jackson. This one won't die three h
Speaker 1: two writes in I will die on the hill of
Speaker 1: not being able to compare Prince and Michael Jackson. Sure
Speaker 1: they were of the same time, Sure they benefited from MTV,
Speaker 1: but what they did was colossally different. MJ was a
Speaker 1: pop singer and dancer. Prince was a musician. He played
Speaker 1: the instruments and all styles of music. He was pop, rock, soul, funk, jazz, blues,
Speaker 1: and sprinkled gospel and even did at least one rap.
Speaker 1: There's styles as musicians were hugely different. Okay, there's styles.
Speaker 1: Weren't that different. I mean, come on, you're really really
Speaker 1: nippicking here. I think to say that Prince and Michael
Speaker 1: Jackson's styles were did you say colossally different, hugely different? Yeah? Man,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like this is like saying
Speaker 1: you can't compare Pedro Martinez to Manny Ramirez because one
Speaker 1: guy was a pitcher and the guy was a hitter.
Speaker 1: They both played during the same time, they both contributed
Speaker 1: to the game at the same time. Who would you
Speaker 1: rather have on your team? Type of thing? Right, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong,
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm in the wrong. I like, you know, I
Speaker 1: like this. I like this one, Prince versus Michael Jackson.
Speaker 1: You guys like it too. Keep it coming, all right?
Speaker 1: This one comes from the three to two three. Hey man,
Speaker 1: Spike here from Hollywood. I just wanted to say thank
Speaker 1: you for your show. I was raised on rock and roll.
Speaker 1: Mom's a hippie, dad was a biker, and growing up,
Speaker 1: my father used to tell me stories about all the
Speaker 1: rock stars we love, Janis, Jimmy, Mick, Keith, David, Iggy,
Speaker 1: Lou Courtney, Kurt, etcetera. Stories about all the messed up
Speaker 1: shit they did and whether they survived or didn't. It
Speaker 1: was basically the premise of your podcast. Anyway, my father
Speaker 1: died three years ago and I just wanted to say
Speaker 1: thank you for keeping that part of him alive. For me,
Speaker 1: feels like I'm with him when I listened to your show. PS,

Speaker 1: ago or so, I read a blog post by Don
Speaker 1: Eden telling the story of when, as a young woman,
Speaker 1: she was hanging out in Washington Square Park and met
Speaker 1: a junkie named John Spacely. John Spacey told her that
Speaker 1: if she would loan him ten dollars, he would tell
Speaker 1: her who really killed Nancy Spongent. He told her who
Speaker 1: the real murderer was. But the reader of this blog post.
Speaker 1: Me had to write to her to see who it was,
Speaker 1: so naturally I did. And again, guys, this is Knox
Speaker 1: Bronson saying me, not me. The story week goes on.
Speaker 1: The email goes on at the time she was an
Speaker 1: ex party girl turned Christian blogger. We had a short correspondence.
Speaker 1: I shared my own John Spacely stories. She has since
Speaker 1: turned into a fairly successful author. So the emailer goes
Speaker 1: on to say, fifty years ago or more, I knew
Speaker 1: John Spacely in Berkeley, California. He was always a character.
Speaker 1: He moved to LA at some point. When David Bowie
Speaker 1: took his Diamond Dogs tour to Los Angeles in nineteen
Speaker 1: seventy four, a bunch of us flew down to see
Speaker 1: the show, staying at the Continental Hyatt. I think some
Speaker 1: of the details of the seventies are foggy. Anyway, Spacely
Speaker 1: and I and a couple of other people were drinking
Speaker 1: in the bar the morning of the show and decided
Speaker 1: at eleven am to go up to Spacely's room and
Speaker 1: drink some more. We got on the elevator and Iggy
Speaker 1: Pop was standing at the back, chin on his chest.
Speaker 1: Spacely said, Hey, Jim, how's it going. Iggy shook his
Speaker 1: head and grunted something, and Spacely said, you've been doing drugs.
Speaker 1: Same response, You've been drinking. Same response. So Spacely, I
Speaker 1: did Iggy up to his room and we all went
Speaker 1: there and had a few beers or whatever. And I
Speaker 1: doubt Iggy remembers, but I'll never forget it. John Spacey
Speaker 1: was a cool guy. It's really too bad the needle
Speaker 1: gut him. Here's a promo of the movie he was in. Okay,
Speaker 1: so there's a lot more. Here goes on to say
Speaker 1: that Spacely was briefly the publisher of Punk Magazine until
Speaker 1: the drugs took him over. Anyways, he finishes the story
Speaker 1: by saying that John Spacely told the blogger Don Eden
Speaker 1: that Sid Vicious was innocent and it was Sid in
Speaker 1: Nancy's drug dealer who killed Nancy while she was knotted off.
Speaker 1: Could it be Thanks again, Knox Bronson Knox, thank you
Speaker 1: very much. This story jive somewhat with the story that
Speaker 1: I've long since heard people have been actually writing this
Speaker 1: on commenting publicly on our recent Instagram post on Sid
Speaker 1: Vicious about who who really killed Nancy. Our episode deals
Speaker 1: more with who killed Sid, but there's there's long been
Speaker 1: rumors that it was a drug dealer, perhaps another junkie.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna to get into their names here, but
Speaker 1: if you want to go onto my Instagram account and
Speaker 1: you can just look through the content there and you
Speaker 1: can see who people are naming. There's one name that
Speaker 1: keeps coming up. I have not heard John Spacely's name
Speaker 1: before here. I'm not saying that John Spacely had anything
Speaker 1: to do with this. I'm not trying to represent Don
Speaker 1: Eden's commentary as being the truth here, but I think
Speaker 1: it's interesting because one of the conspiracy involves a name
Speaker 1: that some of you will recognize and a nameless junkie.
Speaker 1: John Spacely could very well be that nameless junkie. I
Speaker 1: don't know, but this story, the death of Nancy Spongeen
Speaker 1: and how she actually died, probably deserves some more investigation anyway. Knox,

Speaker 1: Apple podcast Rights. This is a top shelf show. Five stars.
Speaker 1: I've been listening to Disgrace sand for a few months now,
Speaker 1: and it's only now just occurred to me what Jake's
Speaker 1: real superpower is. The show is well written and produced,
Speaker 1: It's the perfect length, and the topics are varied, but
Speaker 1: where Jake really shines is in his ability to make
Speaker 1: musicians and genres i'd normally not give a second chance
Speaker 1: come to life and be interesting in a way that
Speaker 1: I'd not thought possible. If you have even a passing
Speaker 1: interest in music, this show is for you. MK E
