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, our mission to uncover the truth, to
Speaker 1: confront the myth, to reclaim the story. On this bonus episode,
Speaker 1: we're talking about this week's full episode subject Kendrick Lamar,
Speaker 1: and we're rewinding back to our Grand Parsons episode, previewing
Speaker 1: our upcoming story on Brian Wilson, and we get into
Speaker 1: your voicemails, tech dms, and as always a whole lot
Speaker 1: of rosie. This is the podcast for the musically obsessed.
Speaker 1: The outsider is the independent thinkers who know that the
Speaker 1: best history is the history that gets buried. Disgraceland is
Speaker 1: where I tell the stories they didn't want told, the
Speaker 1: kind you'll end up telling someone else. All Right, this goes,
Speaker 1: Let's get into it. Compton, the setting for this week's
Speaker 1: full episode of Disgraceland on Kendrick Lamar, located south of
Speaker 1: downtown LA Is regarded by its residents as a tight
Speaker 1: knit community, but for music fans Compton Compton gives an
Speaker 1: outsized impression, one that I would say is actually mythic.
Speaker 1: And that's because Compton, from the nineteen eighties on has
Speaker 1: given us some of the most exciting music and culture
Speaker 1: up NWA's Straight Out of Compton was a view into
Speaker 1: a world that captivated those of us who were out
Speaker 1: in the middle of nowhere America. Drugs, beatdowns, crooked cops,
Speaker 1: drive by shootings, What the hell was this place? Now?
Speaker 1: I'm certain that as a kid, the first time I
Speaker 1: even heard the name Compton it was on that record,
Speaker 1: and I'm pretty sure it was like that for a
Speaker 1: lot of people at my age who weren't from Los Angeles. Now,
Speaker 1: imagine being born into that world as Kendrick Lamar was,
Speaker 1: and taking all of that influence as your birthright and
Speaker 1: using it to turn yourself into one of the biggest
Speaker 1: and most influential modern musical artists on the planet. It's
Speaker 1: pretty impressive, and no other modern musician has taken Compton
Speaker 1: as far as Kendrick Lamar has I said, modern musicians,
Speaker 1: so slow your role. I know you're gonna come at
Speaker 1: me with your NWA Doctor Dre ice Cube takes. But
Speaker 1: again I said, modern modern muse position. What Doctor Dre
Speaker 1: did in the nineties was incredible, super impressive. Yes, groundbreaking, sure,
Speaker 1: but that was then and this is now. But you know,
Speaker 1: for people like me, and I suspect people like you,
Speaker 1: that history is more interesting. So let's look at what
Speaker 1: Compton and the greater self central region of Los Angeles
Speaker 1: has given us for great music, shall we. I already
Speaker 1: mentioned the shot heard around the world, NWA's Straight Out
Speaker 1: of Compton from nineteen eighty eight. It's indisputably one of
Speaker 1: the greatest hip hop albums ever, certainly one of the
Speaker 1: most consequential, and it's book ended on the front side
Speaker 1: by Easy Ease nineteen eighty seven single Easy Does It
Speaker 1: and on the backside by Doctor Dre's solo debut The Chronic,
Speaker 1: which comes a little bit later in nineteen ninety two.
Speaker 1: A great record that is also born of this world
Speaker 1: that doesn't get enough mentioned in my view, is Easy
Speaker 1: and Dre's bandmate Ice Cube in his sophomore effort, The Predator,
Speaker 1: also from nineteen ninety two. Now rewind back before Easy
Speaker 1: and to Seth Central Los Angeles, not Compton exactly, but
Speaker 1: pretty much the same neighborhood, same area of LA and
Speaker 1: we get ice T's nineteen eighty seven debut, Rhyme Pays
Speaker 1: with its gangster rap genre defining track six in the Morning.
Speaker 1: All four of these records, Rhyme Pays by ice T,
Speaker 1: Easy's so first solo album straight out of Compton, Doctor
Speaker 1: Dre's Chronic The Predator by Ice Cube. That's five records. Actually,
Speaker 1: all five of these records. They stand up to the
Speaker 1: scrutiny of time. Nearly forty years later. Kendrick Lamar was
Speaker 1: in diapers when this music was released, and his second
Speaker 1: album twenty fifteen's To Pimp a Butterfly It deserves to
Speaker 1: be on this list, as does kendricks fall in contemporary
Speaker 1: Nipsey Hustles, Mailbox Money. These albums more than their great
Speaker 1: music and influence on culture. To me anyway, they're mile
Speaker 1: markers that point us toward just some of the wildest
Speaker 1: true crime stories from music history. It's crazy. The murder
Speaker 1: of Nipsey Hustle, the survival of Kendrick Lamar, the true
Speaker 1: story behind Ice T's actual life of crime that no
Speaker 1: one seems to really talk about except me. I don't
Speaker 1: know why. And then, of course the strange death of
Speaker 1: Easy Easy. Eas official cause of death was from HIV AIDS. However,
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen, his son Young Easy claimed that his
Speaker 1: father Eric Wright ak Easy got sick after an incident
Speaker 1: with Suge Knight in the recording studio, which okay, And
Speaker 1: then there are these comments from Suge Knight on Jimmy
Speaker 1: Kimmel Live from two thousand and three.
Speaker 2: I'll come check you out right. Why do prove this?
Speaker 3: Oh it's not Oh no, that's just because.
Speaker 2: While this is a new thing, right, See, if somebody
Speaker 2: gonna do somebody. See technology is so high, right right,
Speaker 2: So if you shoot somebody, you go to Jill Fever.
Speaker 2: So the kids, you don't want to go to Joe Fever.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 2: So they got this new thing out that people sell
Speaker 2: them all the time. They got this stuff to call.
Speaker 2: They get blood from somebody with.
Speaker 1: AIDS, Yeah, they shoot you with it.
Speaker 2: Oh that's death Easy there, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Wait, a light in the moon in the exclusive
Speaker 1: section of this episode that's coming up is that and
Speaker 1: I are going to dive into the merits behind whatever
Speaker 1: the fuck it is that sug Knight is talking about
Speaker 1: here and Young Easy's claim that sug Knight had his
Speaker 1: father killed via this horrific method that Shulg himself is
Speaker 1: describing on national television. Now, I've heard these rumors before.
Speaker 1: They came up briefly in the Easy episode that we did.
Speaker 1: It's something that I've never fully wanted to dive into
Speaker 1: until now because I just I got comped in on
Speaker 1: my brain. So we're gonna dig into this. Like I
Speaker 1: said in the exclusive section of this after party, me
Speaker 1: and Zath, we're gonna bring it to you. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about whether or not we think there's enough here
Speaker 1: for to warrant its own episode of Disgraceland. But you know,

Speaker 1: and more. All right, all right, all right, we are
Speaker 1: back speaking of all right, all right, all right. Has
Speaker 1: anybody read Matthew McConaughey's book. I have not heard. It's great.
Speaker 1: I heard it's really inspiring, and I want to read it.
Speaker 1: New True Detective note news as well. Nick Cage supposedly involved.
Speaker 1: All right, getting way off track. Listen this week True
Speaker 1: Detective Aside, Matthew McConaughey aside. All right, all right, all right,
Speaker 1: Kendrick Lamar in your feed right now. Check that story
Speaker 1: out if you have not heard it. Coming up next
Speaker 1: in the feed, we are rewinding to Gram Parsons, Our
Speaker 1: Gram Parsons story. I put my heart and my soul
Speaker 1: into everything I write for you guys. But it's hard
Speaker 1: for me to think of another episode where I lay
Speaker 1: bear my own emotions as heavily as I did in
Speaker 1: this Graham Parsons episode and Graham's I sort of use
Speaker 1: Grams dealings with grief as a proxy for my own
Speaker 1: at the time and what I was going through. I
Speaker 1: remember distinctly writing that episode and just how helpful it
Speaker 1: was to have Graham Parsons, the spirit of Gram Parsons
Speaker 1: and his music with me during that really really rough summer.
Speaker 1: So that is coming out next in our feed. That'll
Speaker 1: be hitting up next after this episode, and then we're
Speaker 1: doing something a little bit different. We're gonna We're gonna
Speaker 1: sneak in Beach Boys Part one Beach Boys Part two
Speaker 1: in the coming days after Graham Parsons, because we have
Speaker 1: a new episode on Brian Wilson, who you know passed
Speaker 1: away a couple of months ago, and I decided, Hey,
Speaker 1: I want to do a Brian Wilson episode. So I
Speaker 1: got in there. I wrote this Brian Wilson episode. It's
Speaker 1: essentially part three of our Beach Boys story. It's a
Speaker 1: man Brian Wilson. This was This was tough. This was
Speaker 1: a tough one to write because so much has been said, written,
Speaker 1: uh put on film about Brian Wilson and Brian Wilson
Speaker 1: one of the rare artists who is a couple of things.
Speaker 1: His autobiography is incredible, It's really really great. He's totally
Speaker 1: hard on the sleeve. He tells his story in a
Speaker 1: way that only he can, so that makes it hard
Speaker 1: for somebody like me to come in and write, write
Speaker 1: the story, or tell a unique story, or come in
Speaker 1: with a unique point of view. But then also the
Speaker 1: rare thing is Brian Wilson. I'm like most musicians who
Speaker 1: have biopics. The bio pick on Brian Wilson's actually really good.
Speaker 1: I think anyways, love and Mercy, and that just makes
Speaker 1: it again, it makes it difficult when when the stories
Speaker 1: that are out there are really good and they cover
Speaker 1: a lot of the most interesting stuff and there's not
Speaker 1: a lot, a lot, not a lot left in the
Speaker 1: cracks for us to mine out, makes it really difficult
Speaker 1: to tell these stories in a unique way. But I think,
Speaker 1: you know, I think, I hope, I hope we did
Speaker 1: a good job. I really kind of leaned into the
Speaker 1: spirit of Brian Wilson here and I did not. We
Speaker 1: just Zeth and I and the rest of us at
Speaker 1: Double eleve Us. We didn't intend to have the Kendrick
Speaker 1: episode and the Brian Wilson episode hanging on the same theme.
Speaker 1: Zeth wrote the Kendrick episode, I wrote the Brian Wilson one.
Speaker 1: But but mercy is part of the thematically, is part
Speaker 1: of the same thing here with both episodes, So I
Speaker 1: just worked out that way. But whatever doesn't really matter.
Speaker 1: I like when we're hanging on a theme, and I
Speaker 1: hope you dig this episode that's coming up next Tuesday.
Speaker 1: It's our next new episode, just Gray SAand on Brian
Speaker 1: Wilson of the Beach Boys. Question of the week for
Speaker 1: next week when you're listening to that Brian Wilson episode,
Speaker 1: it's going to be which figure for music history is
Speaker 1: the best example of a tortured genius. Is it Brian Wilson.
Speaker 1: Is it someone like Kurt Cobain or sly Stone who
Speaker 1: also recently departed, Marvin Gay, or maybe it's someone new
Speaker 1: like young Blood. I don't know. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: examples to pull from here, and perhaps to help organize
Speaker 1: your thinking, give me recommendations, maybe on subjects that I
Speaker 1: haven't covered yet, we haven't covered yet in Disgrace, and
Speaker 1: that you might want to hear us cover. Okay, so
Speaker 1: when you're listening to Brian Wilson for obvious reasons, the
Speaker 1: question is going to be what is the best example
Speaker 1: from music history of a tortured genius? Six one seven
Speaker 1: nine six six six three eight voicemail and text to
Speaker 1: let me know right now? Though you know where I
Speaker 1: am at. I am in the phone booth, the one
Speaker 1: across the hall. I am hanging on the telephone. We're answering.
Speaker 1: Last week's question of the Week spawned from our Kendrick episode,
Speaker 1: which artists demonstrated, uh, the greatest act of mercy. Kind
Speaker 1: of an esoteric question for us to ask, but I
Speaker 1: don't know. We went there and let's check in with
Speaker 1: Cynthia in the five.
Speaker 4: To one zero, Hey, Jake, Cynthia calling from California. And
Speaker 4: musician with the most with mercy was Joan jet I
Speaker 4: went to go see her in the late nineties, first
Speaker 4: time I ever got to see her. I've been a
Speaker 4: fan since I was seven years old, and I had
Speaker 4: a full blown panic attack like third song and I
Speaker 4: didn't know what was happening. My head was totally spinning out,
Speaker 4: and as they were oaking me out because I was
Speaker 4: in the very front, I was complaining that I've been
Speaker 4: wanting to see her since I was seven. So I
Speaker 4: had to spend the rest of the time in the
Speaker 4: medic tent, probably about I don't know, thirty minutes. There
Speaker 4: was a short set afterwards. A friend of mine had
Speaker 4: gotten to some people backstage, and when she was doing
Speaker 4: our autograph signing at the end, she had to go
Speaker 4: behind the desk where she was and asked if I
Speaker 4: wanted to take a picture. I said yes, I was
Speaker 4: still kind of groggy it, and you know, she put
Speaker 4: her arm around my shoulder and she would just look
Speaker 4: at me and she's like, are you okay? And I
Speaker 4: said yeah. She gave me a little squeeze on the
Speaker 4: arm and then we took the picture and it was
Speaker 4: so awesome. She was so cool, just a really cool,
Speaker 4: genuine person. So that was my story. I hope that
Speaker 4: as well.
Speaker 1: Take care, Cynthia. This is an incredible story, and I
Speaker 1: thank you for sharing it with us. I love the
Speaker 1: personal stories, and I always liked jone Jet, but I've
Speaker 1: never met her. I don't know much about her history
Speaker 1: other than you know, just the sort of top level
Speaker 1: Wikipedia stuff what everybody knows. And it's just it warmed
Speaker 1: my heart to hear you tell that story and for
Speaker 1: me to learn that Jone Jet is just a great person.
Speaker 1: It sounds like super cool. Love it. By the way,
Speaker 1: you got a great friend there who went and hooked
Speaker 1: that all up where you went backstage, sought out Joan Jet,
Speaker 1: got you to connect with her. That's no easy thing
Speaker 1: to do. All right, let's check you in with the
Speaker 1: seven two four same question here seven two four rights
Speaker 1: in hey. As for the topic of next week, it's
Speaker 1: hard not to think of the most merciful artist and
Speaker 1: not think of the appellation queen herself, Dolly Parton. That
Speaker 1: woman through her park, her reading program, helping wildlife, LBGTQ
Speaker 1: plus support and more. Make whatever jokes you want about
Speaker 1: the woman's chest, but behind is an absolute heart of gold.
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna say anything about Dolly Parton's chest. I've
Speaker 1: never said anything about Dolly Parton's chest to you, guys,
Speaker 1: or anyone else that I know of. I hear you,
Speaker 1: Dolly Parton is the shit. She's amazing and we should
Speaker 1: all celebrate Dolly Parton, and she's a great candidate for
Speaker 1: incredible acts of mercy for music history. Eight one six
Speaker 1: right saying, hey, Jake Chain from the eight one six,
Speaker 1: My text is in regards both to artists showing mercy
Speaker 1: and first concerts. My son's first concert at age three
Speaker 1: was Cross Canadian Ragweed and if you haven't heard of them,
Speaker 1: there are music royalty in the Red Dirt Scene. And
Speaker 1: not only was the show amazing, when Cody walked out
Speaker 1: to start the show, he saw my wife standing there
Speaker 1: front row with a baby and a carrier on her chest,
Speaker 1: and made the security go get three more barricade fences
Speaker 1: and box us in on the remaining three sides, so
Speaker 1: we had our own little corral of front row space
Speaker 1: so nobody could bump or spilled beer on the baby.
Speaker 1: True class acts. Look into CCR and the Red Dirt Scene.
Speaker 1: Guys who had the opportunity to blow up but chose
Speaker 1: not to sell out love that eight one six. I
Speaker 1: will certainly check that out, and I must have made
Speaker 1: you guys feel pretty badass, pretty special. Let's hear from
Speaker 1: Arman in Calgary.
Speaker 5: Hey, this is Armand and the Boy three five eight seven.
Speaker 5: I just wanted to find out if you knew about
Speaker 5: Lenny appearing on stage with Frankie Goes to Hollywood on
Speaker 5: German TV. If you've not seen it, you need to watch.
Speaker 2: It once again.
Speaker 5: Armand in the four three five h seven, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Speaker 5: Love the show. Listen every week faithfully.
Speaker 1: Arman from Calgary. This is exactly why I love this gig.
Speaker 1: I have never once in my life heard of lem
Speaker 1: Me performing with Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and I'm so
Speaker 1: happy for it. I'm so excited. I'm going to watch.
Speaker 1: I hope everybody else watches, and I hope we come
Speaker 1: back next week we talk about it. Six one seven
Speaker 1: nine oh six six six three eight. I want everybody's
Speaker 1: take on Lemm Fromoterhead collaborating with Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Okay,
Speaker 1: and don't bring up Dolly Parton's chest when you give
Speaker 1: me your Lemmy takes regarding Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Okay. Now,
Speaker 1: let's do a couple of emails, because I've been neglecting
Speaker 1: the emails lately, not on purpose, it just happens. Claire
Speaker 1: Bifford or Buyford. I'm not sure how to pronounce her
Speaker 1: last name right, saying Hey, greetings from beautiful Cornwall, England.
Speaker 1: I'm a longtime listener of Disgrace Sland and Hollywood Land
Speaker 1: and loved the interaction between Jake and Zeff and the
Speaker 1: new rap parties. She goes on to say, can I
Speaker 1: recommend a Western read The Sisters Brothers by Patrick DeWitt.
Speaker 1: I'm not especially a Western fan, but this book blew
Speaker 1: me away. It is set during the gold Rush and
Speaker 1: as some of the true life grit that is often
Speaker 1: missing from stories and films of that period. Yes, Claire,
Speaker 1: this is exactly what I'm looking for. Claire goesana say,
Speaker 1: the book has been made into a film with some
Speaker 1: big names in it, but I haven't watched it as
Speaker 1: it won't match my imagination which was set alive by
Speaker 1: the pros. I loved your episode about the Cramps, which
Speaker 1: explained how the hell they were on the same bill
Speaker 1: as the Police. For my brother and I saw them
Speaker 1: at our school's leisure center back in the day. It
Speaker 1: was round about the time the Police released their first album,
Speaker 1: probably before you were born. My brother Simon followed the
Speaker 1: Cramps round a few more of their gigs in the
Speaker 1: UK and bumped into Brian Gregory and the bar on
Speaker 1: one occasion, and he bumped a cigarette off Brian. That's
Speaker 1: Brian Gregory from the Cramps, hoping for an exotically flavored one,
Speaker 1: but it turned out to be a good old fashioned
Speaker 1: Lambert and Butler. Claire email us every week. I love
Speaker 1: your writing. This is great. Claire goes on to say,
Speaker 1: favorite band, Thin Lizzie, favorite mail artist, Bowie, favorite female artists,
Speaker 1: Gladys Night, top three albums, Diamond Dogs, Bowie, Course Stone Tuble, Pilots.
Speaker 1: Didn't see that coming, Claire, Fisherman's Blues by the water Boys.
Speaker 1: That makes sense. Really love your work. Rock a Rolla, Claire, Claire,
Speaker 1: you even spelled out RockA Rolla correct. Write us back anytime,
Speaker 1: damn hanging out with the Cramps. Recommending great westerns. Claire,
Speaker 1: you're the best. I'm gonna read The Sisters Brothers by
Speaker 1: Patrick DeWitt. I'm looking forward to it. I got one
Speaker 1: book coming. I'm waiting, I'm waiting. I'm in this. I
Speaker 1: hate I hate this, this like period where the book's
Speaker 1: not finished, the last book, the new book's not here,
Speaker 1: Like what am I going to do? I need to
Speaker 1: be reading something always Right now, I'm going to read
Speaker 1: this email from John McNeely aka Johnny Vinyl, who writes, Hey, hey, Jake,
Speaker 1: your Motorhead Lemmy episode was awesome. You had so much
Speaker 1: detail in there. What a cool story about you meeting
Speaker 1: him back in the nineties. I can't say I met him,
Speaker 1: but when I lived in LA in the early two thousands,
Speaker 1: I saw him a few times at the Rainbow Room
Speaker 1: playing the One Armed Bandit and one of those times
Speaker 1: I got a head nod. One of my favorite rock
Speaker 1: docs is aptly titled Lemmy that I own on DVD
Speaker 1: and I've watched a few times. And to think he
Speaker 1: lived in a small, rent controlled apartment is so rock
Speaker 1: and roll, Like Ozzie. They just don't make them like
Speaker 1: that anymore. And we were lucky to be alive at
Speaker 1: the same time as those legends, John mcnealely, John, You're
Speaker 1: absolutely right, complete legend, and we are lucky to have
Speaker 1: breathed the same air the same time in place as
Speaker 1: these dudes. Pretty pretty awesome. Disgrace sampod at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1: You guys want to send me an email six one
Speaker 1: seven nine oh six six sixty three eight. You want
Speaker 1: to hit me up on voicemail or leave me a
Speaker 1: text at Disgrace Sampod on the socials. I'm going to
Speaker 1: take a quick break. I'll be back in a flash.
Speaker 1: All right, Welcome back to the Disgraceland after party. Listen.
Speaker 1: You might be one of those people who's just sitting around,
Speaker 1: You're going through your business, and you're like, look, I'm
Speaker 1: just so sick of these podcasts that I'm listening to.
Speaker 1: I got I got like four or five podcasts that
Speaker 1: I'm that I'm subscribed to that I'm following. I'm really
Speaker 1: in on like two of them. The others they just
Speaker 1: kind of build up in my feed and I don't
Speaker 1: really check in on them enough to really justify having
Speaker 1: them still be subscribed to. And you know I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna listen to so so you know, I know,
Speaker 1: I know, you know, there's only so much time, But
Speaker 1: I just want to tell you something you need. If
Speaker 1: you need to swap one out and swap a new
Speaker 1: podcast in, I would highly recommend it. Podcasts called Hollywood
Speaker 1: Land by Yours Truly and here Me and the Me
Speaker 1: and the fine folks at Double Elvis. We put this
Speaker 1: together before you. We created this massive art chive of
Speaker 1: Hollywood and true crime stories, and you can get an
Speaker 1: You can get an archive episode every week plus a
Speaker 1: new episode helmed by none other than the great Zeth Lundy,
Speaker 1: where Zeth will bring you through that week's subject in
Speaker 1: an engaging and compelling way. I'm in there as well,
Speaker 1: talking to Zesth giving you our recommendations, talking about whatever
Speaker 1: that week's subject is. This week's subject was Lindsay Lohan.
Speaker 1: Now we do this bit where I've got to do
Speaker 1: music recommendations based on the Hollywood Lands subject and Matt
Speaker 1: once you give the fine people a taste of Hollywood Land.
Speaker 3: Jake, what music recks inspired by Lindsay Lohan do you
Speaker 3: have for us today?
Speaker 1: This was this was a weird way into music recommendations.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie Lindsay Lohan to the Canyons to
Speaker 1: the Canyon soundtrack. Not a lot of great stuff on there,
Speaker 1: but a great band, the Dumb Dumb Girls from the
Speaker 1: late aughts. Yep, you're nodding along, you remember the dumb
Speaker 1: Dumb Girls. Dumb dumb Girls. I could just recommend them
Speaker 1: and that would be fine. However, I'm gonna recommend an
Speaker 1: entryway song for You guys. Smith's cover the Dumb Dumb
Speaker 1: Girl's cover of There's a Light That Never Goes Out
Speaker 1: by the Smith's incredible Smith song and their version is amazing,
Speaker 1: and it's cool to hear this song from a female perspective.
Speaker 1: It's from a EP they put out in twenty eleven
Speaker 1: called He Gets Me High Dumb Dumb Girls, There's a
Speaker 1: Light That Never Goes Out Lindsay Lohan. I thought Lindsay.
Speaker 1: I could go Lindsay Buckingham. I could go buckingham Nicks
Speaker 1: because they're all in the news lately, but that no,
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. I thought low hand Han Hancock,
Speaker 1: Herbie Hancock. Okay. A lot of people, if they're gonna,
Speaker 1: if they're gonna recommend Herbie Hancock album, they're gonna recommend Headhunters,
Speaker 1: and they should because it's a fantastic album, amazing. However,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna recommend the album that my father once pulled
Speaker 1: out of a stack of records in my living room
Speaker 1: about fifteen years ago and gave me a look like
Speaker 1: what the fuck is wrong with you? And that is
Speaker 1: the Herbie Hancock album nineteen sixty nine. Fat Albert Rotunda. Okay,
Speaker 1: I love that album.
Speaker 3: Yes, and your dad hates it because I brought it
Speaker 3: up to your dad once because I was it your dad.
Speaker 1: It's gotta be he has a special loathing for it.
Speaker 3: Yes, because I mentioned I was thinking of doing the
Speaker 3: sound design for an episode along the lines of that,
Speaker 3: and I mentioned to him and he was.
Speaker 1: Like, guys, subscribe to hollywood Land wherever you get your podcasts,

Speaker 1: give me the buzzer beater. There was a time when
Speaker 1: I was younger and I would listen to sports talk
Speaker 1: radio in Boston and I would hear these dudes speaking,
Speaker 1: and I would listen to their ridiculous old guide takes
Speaker 1: and feel so self satisfied with my youthful perspective, my
Speaker 1: whatever modern point of view on whatever the hell it
Speaker 1: was that they were talking about their disdain for baseball's
Speaker 1: saber metrics, and I was just like, whatever, man, whatever
Speaker 1: helps Red Sox win. I don't care care what you
Speaker 1: do to win, just win. Or how they couldn't deal
Speaker 1: with Randy Moss's diva attitude, and I'd just be like,
Speaker 1: who cares? Have you seen what that dude is doing
Speaker 1: on the field with Tom Brady. Whatever gets us to
Speaker 1: another Super Bowl. Whatever the argument was, I found myself
Speaker 1: disagreeing with the old guide take. Fast forward to now
Speaker 1: and I am filled with old guy takes. My son
Speaker 1: is playing flag football. He's on the Raiders, So I
Speaker 1: decided to go on YouTube and show him some clips
Speaker 1: from Raider football in the seventies and eighties. And my
Speaker 1: son is seventy years old. By the way, as soon
Speaker 1: as the highlights start defensive highlights, that's all I'm showing them.
Speaker 1: As soon as they start footage, of Jack Tatum, Howie Long,
Speaker 1: Ted Hendricks just wrecking people on the hard astro turf,
Speaker 1: pulling him down horse collar and dudes, almost every single
Speaker 1: hit was head to head contact, just violent and literally
Speaker 1: from the jump, every single hit, every single highlight. My
Speaker 1: son starts going, that's illegal. That's illegal, Dad, you can't
Speaker 1: do that. And I'm laughing because he's not wrong, because now, yes,
Speaker 1: all those hits are illegal, but then they were all legal,
Speaker 1: every single one of them. And of course, sadly, today
Speaker 1: this type of physical play in the NFL, it won't
Speaker 1: just get the rest to pull their flags, it'll get
Speaker 1: the offending players thrown out of the game, suspended in
Speaker 1: some cases. Now, of course, being a proud member of
Speaker 1: Generation X, I love this style of football and I
Speaker 1: missed this style of football, and this was going to
Speaker 1: be the topic of my rent today. But then I thought, damn, man,
Speaker 1: what an old guy take. I'm the old guy, so
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna complain about
Speaker 1: how things were better back in the day, because, man,
Speaker 1: Oman Dow, I detest being that guy. Yet here I
Speaker 1: am that guy, all right, Matt, how'd I do? Two
Speaker 1: minutes and eighteen seconds, Jake, damn man, I think I
Speaker 1: gotta get. I gotta get how we long to put
Speaker 1: me into some training regimen here to get up to
Speaker 1: snuff and get in under thirty seconds? All right? That
