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 subject of the Disgraceland full episode, Brandon
Speaker 1: Lee from the excellent movie The Crow with the most
Speaker 1: excellent soundtrack, more from the Sean Combe story, and some
Speaker 1: special announcements from the world of Disgraceland. And of course
Speaker 1: we are diving into your voicemails, text and more. As always,
Speaker 1: a whole lot of rosie. All right, disc goes, let's
Speaker 1: get into it, and they say there's a heaven for
Speaker 1: those who will wait. Some say it's better, but I
Speaker 1: say it. I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry
Speaker 1: with the saints. The sinners are much more fun. You
Speaker 1: know that only the good die young. That, of course
Speaker 1: is Billy Joel from his nineteen seventy eight hit Only
Speaker 1: the Good Die Young. Brandon Lee, the subject of this
Speaker 1: week's Disgraceland after Party, died young at twenty eight years old.
Speaker 1: By all accounts, Brandon Lee was one of the good ones.
Speaker 1: His father, Bruce Lee, died young too, at the age
Speaker 1: of thirty two years old. Lisa Lopez, Bob Marley, Amy Winehouse,
Speaker 1: Nipsey Hustle, all previous Disgraceland subjects, they all died young,
Speaker 1: and despite being complicated and sometimes protic individuals, I believe
Speaker 1: them all to be good at heart. Other disgrace on subjects,
Speaker 1: some real bastards are either still breathing or lived long,
Speaker 1: full lives. Jerry Lee, Lewis, Big Lurch, var Vicinus, Ike Turner,
Speaker 1: to name just a few. They of course not good people.
Speaker 1: They were or are bad bad men. But Billy Joel
Speaker 1: was onto something. Though that statement only the Good die young,
Speaker 1: it isn't absolute. Tupac secure in the Notorious Big They died, okay.
Speaker 1: Tupac was twenty five, Biggie was just twenty four. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying either were good. Tupac especially was at times
Speaker 1: a horrendous human being and Biggie had his issues too,
Speaker 1: but still they were young men. Had they lived, you
Speaker 1: can make the case that they could have probably redeemed themselves.
Speaker 1: Who knows. Twenty four and twenty five far too young
Speaker 1: to go though. Okay, Tupac and Biggie had a lot
Speaker 1: in common. They were, of course friends, then famously enemies,
Speaker 1: and now a part of the same unsolved murder mystery
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory. They also shared a common friend at one
Speaker 1: time anyway, and Sean Puff Daddy Ditty Comb's Biggie was
Speaker 1: Ditty's meal ticket, the start that helped Ditty than Puffy
Speaker 1: forever Shawn Combs to launch his career into the stratosphere,
Speaker 1: and Tupac was if we're to believe the recent theories
Speaker 1: floating around TikTok, Tupac was allegedly Sean Combs is lover.
Speaker 1: I'm emphasizing allegedly because as far as I can tell,
Speaker 1: this is just a rumor. That said, I'm not discounting it.
Speaker 1: There is a credible source alleging that at the very
Speaker 1: least Seawn Combs up until the right now, is and
Speaker 1: always has been obsessed with Tupac. It should be noted
Speaker 1: that there are less credible sources claiming right now that
Speaker 1: Tupac's family has hired new legal representation to investigate Ditty's
Speaker 1: involvement in Tupac's death. But again, like I said, less
Speaker 1: credible sources, I'm not so sure Sean Combs killed Tupac.
Speaker 1: It's just too neat, tidy of an ending. It's too Hollywood.
Speaker 1: But a lot of other presumed good people in Shawn
Speaker 1: Combs's orbit have died young ish, and it's kind of
Speaker 1: weird and worth mentioning, Okay. Kim Porter, Shawn Combs's girlfriend,
Speaker 1: the mother of three of his children, and former Uptown
Speaker 1: Records employee and co worker of Shawn Combs. She died
Speaker 1: some would say, very mysteriously at the age of forty
Speaker 1: eight from pneumonia back in twenty eighteen. Andre Herrel, founder
Speaker 1: of Uptown Records, the label where Diddy and kim Porter
Speaker 1: started out. He died back in twenty twenty, a healthy
Speaker 1: man from sudden heart problems. Uptown Records artists Heavy D
Speaker 1: remember Heavy D in the Boys Heavy D. He died
Speaker 1: back in twenty eleven from a pulmonary embolism. After Seawn
Speaker 1: Combs and Andre Pharrell had a vicious falling out. Combs,
Speaker 1: of course, then went on to start bad Boy Records,
Speaker 1: where he signed, among other artists, Craig Mack. Craig Mack
Speaker 1: died in twenty eighteen at the age of just forty seven.
Speaker 1: Like Andre Harrell from Heart Problems, bad Boy artist Black Rob,
Speaker 1: he died in twenty twenty one from cardiac arrest. Okay,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of conjecture around the deaths of all
Speaker 1: these music industry professionals and artists connected to Sean Combs. Now,
Speaker 1: lots of people die from heart problems, lots of people
Speaker 1: die young. But given the individual that we are talking
Speaker 1: about here, Sean Combs, Diddy, this amount of people, all
Speaker 1: whom were financially entangled one way or another with Sean
Speaker 1: Combs VIA's record label business, you have to pause to wonder. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's pretty pretty I'm channeling my inner Larry David. It's
Speaker 1: just too damn coincidental. And I'm not saying that there's
Speaker 1: some grand conspiracy at play here. I'm saying that this
Speaker 1: deserves a little more research, a little more than I've
Speaker 1: been able to give it. I have seen, I have
Speaker 1: seen this conspiracy theory pop up numerous times on TikTok,
Speaker 1: Jaguar right is all over it, but I have seen
Speaker 1: nothing to substantiate it. I've seen nothing that actually ties
Speaker 1: a thread of credible sourcing through all of this. It
Speaker 1: makes me go, hmm, there's something there. There's motive, there's intent,
Speaker 1: there's will, all that stuff. I have not seen any
Speaker 1: of that yet. I've only seen, like I said, conjecture.
Speaker 1: But still, I'm a grown man with my big boy
Speaker 1: pants on. Okay, I'm not going to shy from a
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory just because it's a conspiracy theory. At the
Speaker 1: same time, I'm not going to promote it as being fact. This,
Speaker 1: despite there not being any proof that I've seen yet,
Speaker 1: deserves a little more research. So I'm going to dive
Speaker 1: into this for you guys, and I will report back.
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure how I'm gonna do that. Maybe
Speaker 1: I'll do it in an afterparty. Maybe there'll be a
Speaker 1: full episode on this. I'm not sure, but something's coming.
Speaker 1: I'm going to look into this a little more fully. Okay.
Speaker 1: Like I said, lots of conjecture around the deaths of
Speaker 1: all these music industry professionals and artists connected to Combs.
Speaker 1: Lots of people like I said, they die from heart problems,
Speaker 1: they die young. I'm going to get into these desks
Speaker 1: and the weeks. But I'm also I'm very compelled by
Speaker 1: this one. Here the allegation surrounding Diddy jay z in
Speaker 1: the death of Kathy White aka Becky with the Good Hair,
Speaker 1: who died Okay, another one dying young while pregnant at
Speaker 1: just the age of twenty eight suddenly from a brain aneurysm.
Speaker 1: Wasn't heart related, brain aneurysm. I'm going to look into
Speaker 1: this as well. This is this is incredibly salacious, and
Speaker 1: I'm going to report back to you guys on what
Speaker 1: I can find. As always, I will give you the
Speaker 1: straight dirt on the sour, saying, Okay, who I think
Speaker 1: is credible, who I think is not credible? And why
Speaker 1: now I'm talking about these deaths because like it or not,
Speaker 1: they're part of the Shawan Combs story, which is vast,
Speaker 1: and this story is unfurling at in real time and
Speaker 1: it's coming. It's all coming to light publicly. He's not
Speaker 1: even near trial yet. Every day new news breaks, and
Speaker 1: I suspect that by the time you hear this episode,
Speaker 1: more news will have broken on Seawan Combs, perhaps rendering
Speaker 1: this particular subject that I'm discussing with you right now,
Speaker 1: the deaths around Combs. Perhaps new news breaks before you
Speaker 1: hear this that renders this subject to be a little
Speaker 1: less relevant. I say this because I'm recording this bonus
Speaker 1: episode for you early. I'm recording on Tuesday. I usually
Speaker 1: do it on Wednesday, get it out to you on Thursday,
Speaker 1: so that I can be as close to the episode
Speaker 1: as possible in the information while you're hearing it. However,
Speaker 1: some of you may have heard there's a massive hurricane
Speaker 1: coming my way. I'm in Florida and I need tomorrow Wednesday,
Speaker 1: of the day I would normally record this episode to
Speaker 1: you know, basically, hunker down and good chance I'm going
Speaker 1: to lose power, So you're getting it now. I hope
Speaker 1: everyone else there who's a little more fully in the
Speaker 1: line of the hurricane. I hope you guys are getting
Speaker 1: out of dodge. I hope you're safe. But anyways, that's
Speaker 1: why I think there might be a chance of what
Speaker 1: I'm saying to you now being a little less relevant
Speaker 1: by the time you hear it to days later because
Speaker 1: of the hurricane. And we know this Shaan Combs story
Speaker 1: is a hurricane. Nothing is going to stop it. There's
Speaker 1: been some news over the last week since we last talked.
Speaker 1: The big news I suspect that we're going to get
Speaker 1: in the coming days though, in the coming weeks is
Speaker 1: the story that I mentioned last week with the quote
Speaker 1: unquote more high profile individual featured in the sex video
Speaker 1: with Combs. If you recall, attorney Aerial Mitchell Kid has
Speaker 1: claimed publicly that the owners of this video of the
Speaker 1: alleged more high profile participant, has been shopping a catch
Speaker 1: and kill deal. Well, now this news has developed slightly.
Speaker 1: An Aerial Mitchell Kid again, the attorney. She's back on
Speaker 1: News Nation and she's making this news Okay, that the
Speaker 1: high profile person in the video is trying to catch
Speaker 1: and kill this themselves, trying to purchase this, but they
Speaker 1: are bidding for ownership of the video. They are bidding
Speaker 1: against two major news networks to gain control of this
Speaker 1: video to keep it from coming out. Okay, we shall see.
Speaker 1: Even if this is an A list celebrity on the video,
Speaker 1: who really cares? Okay, it's not against a law to
Speaker 1: have sex. It's not against a lot to have sex
Speaker 1: on video, even if you're a very short, very funny
Speaker 1: comedian who not only stars in commercials with Lebron James,
Speaker 1: but who also MC's Diddy Parties and Tom Brady Roasi.
Speaker 1: Even if you're that guy, it's not illegal to have sex. Okay.
Speaker 1: So if you show up on this video, if your
Speaker 1: heart gets broken and you show up on this video,
Speaker 1: perhaps even if you're having sex with Sean Combs in
Speaker 1: this video, end of the day, who really cares? Now,
Speaker 1: if there's a miner in the room, if there's a
Speaker 1: miner in this video with you, well then you're fucked. Okay.
Speaker 1: You got more than a broken heart to worry about,
Speaker 1: all right. And if you were to then say, I
Speaker 1: don't know, die young of say a sudden heart issue,
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure Billy Joel will be singing you
Speaker 1: any songs. Right, You get what I'm saying here, all right?
Speaker 1: Switching gears, we have an episode on the band The
Speaker 1: Cramps coming next week. And uh, as you're listening, guys,
Speaker 1: you'll hear that this is a story about a rock
Speaker 1: and roll band, a real rock and roll band, real
Speaker 1: rock and roll, not rock rock and roll. You'll hear
Speaker 1: the difference in the episode. And when you're listening to
Speaker 1: this episode, please be thinking about what band, what what
Speaker 1: band out there made the greatest rock and roll of
Speaker 1: all time? Gotta be a band, and I'm not talking
Speaker 1: about rock music. I get into the difference. I get
Speaker 1: into the difference and definition between rock and roll and
Speaker 1: rock in the episode. I don't want to do it here, okay,
Speaker 1: but just no rock and roll down, dirty fun, guitar
Speaker 1: driven music for teenagers, music that makes you feel like
Speaker 1: a teenager, okay, So loosely based on that definition, I
Speaker 1: guess what band, in your estimation made the greatest rock
Speaker 1: and roll music of all time? And why? I already
Speaker 1: know my answer. It's a pretty basic one, but I
Speaker 1: want to know your answer. So hit me back six
Speaker 1: one seven, nine oh six sixty six three eight voicemail
Speaker 1: on tech at Disgrace Lampod on the socials, Disgrace Lampod
Speaker 1: at gmail dot com on email, and I will answer
Speaker 1: answer you guys here in the next after Party Bonus episode.
Speaker 1: But right now, let me take a quick break back
Speaker 1: in the flash with some of your voicemails and texts
Speaker 1: and dms from last week. All right, guys, A couple
Speaker 1: of announcements the live stream event that we had scheduled
Speaker 1: for Wednesday night, October ninth. It was, of course postponed
Speaker 1: due to the hurricane. I was unable to live stream
Speaker 1: live in the storm here in Florida. Tickets are being
Speaker 1: refunded as it's unclear due to travel that I have
Speaker 1: coming up, some other issues that we have going on,
Speaker 1: when we're gonna be able to set up another date.
Speaker 1: I'd rather just get you guys your bread back into
Speaker 1: your pockets. You can do what you will with it,
Speaker 1: and we'll do something around this story later in the
Speaker 1: future at a to be determined time and place. All Right,
Speaker 1: I am excited to get you guys this story, the
Speaker 1: Tom DeLong story of government disclosure, government conspiracy ufology all
Speaker 1: that when we do, you will be the first to know.
Speaker 1: You'll be the first to know of the date, the venue, etc.
Speaker 1: But until then, like I said, you got your bread back.
Speaker 1: You can do with the what you want. Apologies to
Speaker 1: those of you guys who bought tickets. I truly appreciate
Speaker 1: the support, and if you were looking forward to this
Speaker 1: event as much as I was, I just want to
Speaker 1: say there was literally nothing that we could do about this.
Speaker 1: It was a scheduled on the wrong day, October ninth.
Speaker 1: Can't control the weather, but just wanted to voice my
Speaker 1: gratitude to you guys. And yeah, we'll have something special
Speaker 1: coming up for you guys soon. Okay, another couple updates.
Speaker 1: We have tweaked our podcast episode release schedule very slightly.
Speaker 1: You may have noticed that our full new episodes. I
Speaker 1: talked to you guys about this. I asked you what
Speaker 1: you thought. I received zero negative feedback on this for
Speaker 1: what we're planning on doing. So you may have noticed
Speaker 1: that our new full episodes, like the Brandon Lee episode
Speaker 1: that you just got this week, like the Cramps episode
Speaker 1: that you're going to be getting next week. These new
Speaker 1: full episodes are now being released on Mondays after party

Speaker 1: They're coming on Thursdays as usual. And Rewinds of course
Speaker 1: released on Friday. All right, so Monday, Thursday Friday, that's
Speaker 1: the release schedule. Now I mentioned the Cramps episode. I
Speaker 1: cannot wait for you to hear this Cramps episode. It's
Speaker 1: an instant favorite of mine. Okay, it's coming to you Monday.

Speaker 1: your comments. We're so inspired by everything we're doing here
Speaker 1: in this dark and spooky October here, Halloween and Disgraceland
Speaker 1: has turned into my favorite time of the year. Somehow,
Speaker 1: I was never Halloween guy until I started this podcast.
Speaker 1: But listen, we got a lot, a lot of great
Speaker 1: episodes coming your way. We've got a Poltergeist Curse episode
Speaker 1: coming next week, I'm sorry, the week after the Cramps episode.

Speaker 1: We've got a creepy episode on Harry Houdini coming in
Speaker 1: the All Access feed this month, and and rewind episodes
Speaker 1: on Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Robert Johnson in one of
Speaker 1: my all time phase of course, the Misfits. Okay, final
Speaker 1: bit of housekeeping, we have our book club meeting virtually
Speaker 1: on October twenty ninth, where we will be reading and
Speaker 1: discussing while discussing the book we read, which is The Exorcist,
Speaker 1: one of the best books that I've ever read. This
Speaker 1: book club is happening one day after our Exorcist episode
Speaker 1: comes out, so that should make it even extra fun
Speaker 1: and spooky. The Exorcist book club discussion goes down on
Speaker 1: October twenty ninth, just a couple days before Halloween. Pumped
Speaker 1: on this. So if you're looking for something cool to
Speaker 1: do this Halloween, Thean get in on our book club.

Speaker 1: from you, guys six one seven nine O six six
Speaker 1: six three eight Send me a text or a voicemail
Speaker 1: just like this caller from the nine to seventy.
Speaker 2: Hey Drake, this is the show from Lowell for Wilmington.
Speaker 2: So mass Joesus Gurly Lou. My answer to your question
Speaker 2: from the last after party about who the good dying
Speaker 2: young is the actor Anton Yelchin. I don't think enough
Speaker 2: people think about him or like recognize how awesome he
Speaker 2: was and in my heart continues to be. He also
Speaker 2: had the same birthday as me, so I had a
Speaker 2: soft spot for him. But also the way he died
Speaker 2: was like the most fucking insane and tragic thing. His
Speaker 2: fucking jeep rolled down the driveway because like it had
Speaker 2: like some sort of parking break fanism issue, and it
Speaker 2: rolled down the driveway and pin him against his mailbox.
Speaker 2: So he died agonizing and flow and just like one
Speaker 2: of the worst things I could possibly imagine. You know,
Speaker 2: there was no fucking reason for that to happen, So
Speaker 2: I remained devastated and also, come on, guys, Anton gave
Speaker 2: us the green room, like, please put the respect on
Speaker 2: this Sand's name. See, he died way too young and
Speaker 2: way too soon, and I will probably never get over it.
Speaker 1: Thanks Michelle. I am one of those people who I
Speaker 1: don't know who the hell you're talking about, how to
Speaker 1: look them up? And yes I can. This is the
Speaker 1: way the death. My gosh, damn, that is brutal. That
Speaker 1: is brutal. I have many thoughts. I need to collect
Speaker 1: myself though, and learn more about this and think about
Speaker 1: it a little bit more. My first thought this is
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be real with you. My first thought
Speaker 1: was I should do an episode on this, because this
Speaker 1: cause of death is insane and I would love to
Speaker 1: write about it. Anyone ever watched Six Feet Under. I
Speaker 1: loved that show. I loved how they opened every episode,
Speaker 1: how they had that kind of cold open bit and
Speaker 1: it was all just a different cause of death. I
Speaker 1: found that to be fascinating. That's that's what your story
Speaker 1: reminded me of, Michelle. All right, let's check in with
Speaker 1: Christina here in the nine to one seven.
Speaker 3: Thank Callings from Brooklyn in regard to a transformer who
Speaker 3: has left way too early. Absolutely hands down, Adam out
Speaker 3: from the Beastie Boys MCA. So it was an incredible person,
Speaker 3: incredible performer and a tremendously impact my childhood and youth
Speaker 3: and first person to affect me when they had passed
Speaker 3: absolutely too soon.
Speaker 1: Thank you, great one. Christina. I didn't, I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't know why yau MC eight did pop into my
Speaker 1: head when I pose this question, but kind of the
Speaker 1: perfect example that you're providing here, and Christina, I'm thinking
Speaker 1: about doing a Beastie Boys episode. It's one of these
Speaker 1: things where I'm going to be a complete hypocrite every
Speaker 1: time someone requests an episode and I'm like, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: what's the crime. It's Disgraceland's what's the crime at the
Speaker 1: core of it? So I can make it true crime
Speaker 1: and make it work on our side of the street.
Speaker 1: And I don't have an answer to that my own
Speaker 1: question when it comes to the Beastie Boys. But I
Speaker 1: just love the Beastie Boys so much that I want
Speaker 1: to figure out a way to do this. I want
Speaker 1: to figure out a way to write about that. And
Speaker 1: I know there's got to be something there. There's got
Speaker 1: to be something, some sort of crazy transgression, if not
Speaker 1: a crime that I can use to anchor this story,
Speaker 1: and so I'm looking into that. Christine in the nine
Speaker 1: one seven. Thanks for bringing up yelp. I appreciate it
Speaker 1: all right, Matt, Let's do one more voicemail here. Let's
Speaker 1: check in with the two six.
Speaker 4: Jake was going on, Brother Tony from the two six.
Speaker 4: Just listening to the Brandon Lee episode. Believe it or not,
Speaker 4: you know me being from the TUTI six. I actually
Speaker 4: went to Brandon and Bruce's final resting place a year
Speaker 4: after Brandon was tragically killed, and I'm I didn't even
Speaker 4: put it all together until years later that I had
Speaker 4: went because I went with a daycamp group of mind.
Speaker 4: But it was so surreal to see it. And at
Speaker 4: that time, Bruce Lee's headstone had it has a picture
Speaker 4: on it now, but at that time that part had
Speaker 4: been stolen because who would do is they would come
Speaker 4: into the cemetery and they would take that part off
Speaker 4: and they would sell it on the black market. So
Speaker 4: now it's been bolted down. Another thing I wanted to
Speaker 4: talk to you about real quick was last week to
Speaker 4: tra have stid episode. Brother. I was in Vegas when
Speaker 4: that happened, and I remember when I put the gist
Speaker 4: of it together because I was going for another concert
Speaker 4: even though that happened in Houston. I remember I texted
Speaker 4: my friend who was coming in to meet me in Vegas,
Speaker 4: and I said, Hey, we're treading very carefully at this
Speaker 4: concert tonight that we're going to, so you can bet
Speaker 4: your last moneys. When I saw ghost Face with ak
Speaker 4: One and Jizza at that show, I was looking at
Speaker 4: for all the exits. But thankfully we had a great time.
Speaker 4: And you know, I said, it's a respectful nobody was
Speaker 4: hurt anyway, doing what you do. Much love, talk to
Speaker 4: you later, Tony.
Speaker 1: Thank you for the call. Thank you for the insight
Speaker 1: into Bruce's grave. That's a wild story. I had no
Speaker 1: idea what was the part that was stolen though you
Speaker 1: didn't mention that the part of the grave. Hit me
Speaker 1: back and let me know. And I'm also I'm happy
Speaker 1: to hear the Vegas show, though it was filled with anxiety,
Speaker 1: did not go off like Astorworld. All right, thanks Tony.
Speaker 1: All right, let's do some text guys. There are so
Speaker 1: many texts, Like I said, so many texts. I just
Speaker 1: first of all, thank you, second of all, know that
Speaker 1: I'm reading them. If I'm not responding to all of
Speaker 1: them here in the after party, and if I'm not
Speaker 1: responding via text, just know that I read them all, okay,
Speaker 1: and I'm just stoked on the engagement. So this one
Speaker 1: comes from the seven oh three. Hey, Jake, this is
Speaker 1: Mary from the seven oh three. It's a long one, Mary,
Speaker 1: so I'm going to read part of it. Mary says.
Speaker 1: I listened to the Travis Scott episode as well as
Speaker 1: the Bonus episode, although for that one I was more
Speaker 1: curious about your take on the additional charges for Sean Combs. Anyhow,
Speaker 1: I wholeheartedly agree with you on your opinion of Travis
Speaker 1: Scott being completely selfish and greedy. It actually brought back
Speaker 1: a memory of when I saw Eminem and DC back
Speaker 1: in two thousand and two. The crab is becoming out
Speaker 1: of control and people were likely in danger of being trampled,
Speaker 1: so he told everybody to stop, and if they didn't,
Speaker 1: he was leaving the stage. Now I read that part
Speaker 1: of Mary's text because Eminem, before this is all said
Speaker 1: and done, now listen to you guys who are super
Speaker 1: disgrace sandheads. You know I have a complicated history with Eminem. Anyways, Eminem,
Speaker 1: we did an Eminem episode, and I you know how
Speaker 1: I do that bit at the beginning of every episode
Speaker 1: where I'm like, and they made great music, blah blah blah. Well,
Speaker 1: I said Eminem did not make great music. And I
Speaker 1: did it in part because I truly felt that way
Speaker 1: at the time, and also in part because I really
Speaker 1: wanted to fuck with Eminem's fans, who I know are
Speaker 1: very precious, and there's nothing I like more than fucking
Speaker 1: with precious fans of musicians, because everyone really needs to
Speaker 1: just lighten up a notch. In twenty twenty four or
Speaker 1: whenever this went live, anyhow, I've since grown into an
Speaker 1: Eminem fan, largely because of my kids. I can't believe
Speaker 1: I went as far as I did when I said that,
Speaker 1: even it's not entirely because of all the shit I
Speaker 1: got from everybody, but just came to that realization on
Speaker 1: my own. But more importantly, I think when this Diddy
Speaker 1: story is set and on that Eminem is going to
Speaker 1: be part of this, and not in a bad way.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that have popped off in
Speaker 1: the last few years where Eminem has been on the
Speaker 1: right side of the argument, and this don't take this
Speaker 1: as a blanket endorsement of everything Eminem has said or
Speaker 1: done in the past. That's not what this is. I'm
Speaker 1: just like, the guy raises my eyebrows every now and then.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. I'm like, huh, I agree with
Speaker 1: this guy, and he said some very interesting things about
Speaker 1: Diddy and guys. You got to know, I want to
Speaker 1: get into him here, but I could make every single
Speaker 1: after party episode about Shawn Combs, and I'm trying really
Speaker 1: hard not to do that. But this is one of
Speaker 1: those one of those wormholes that I kind of want
Speaker 1: to dig through a little bit and get more information
Speaker 1: for you guys. So anyways that you know, the seven
Speaker 1: or three brought up Mary brought up the Travis Scott
Speaker 1: thing with Eminem, and I thought that was a good
Speaker 1: way for me to connect the two. Let's do another
Speaker 1: text here, this one from the three to ZHO four,
Speaker 1: also on the subject of Diddy. Three oh four rights,
Speaker 1: I want to disgrace san T shirt that says that's
Speaker 1: a lot of fucking baby oil. That's not a bad idea.
Speaker 1: That's not a bad idea. Eight five six Rights and
Speaker 1: listening to your after party and your response to Steven
Speaker 1: reminded me of a young e mackay. Hey, Steven, well,
Speaker 1: at least I'm trying. What the fuck have you done?
Speaker 1: That's Mark from the eight five six. He's referencing a
Speaker 1: Minor Threat lyric from the song in My Eyes, and
Speaker 1: I feel like I lost some punk rock credibility because
Speaker 1: when I said that last week's episode to Stephen, I
Speaker 1: should have known I was paraphrasing Ia mackay from Minor
Speaker 1: Threat and in my Eyes I was literally roommates with
Speaker 1: the guys in the band in my Eyes back in
Speaker 1: the day. I should have got that one. Fuck. I'm sorry, Mark.
Speaker 1: Good catch though eight to eight Rights and the Crow
Speaker 1: has been my favorite movie since I've seen it in
Speaker 1: theaters while a senior in high school. For the question
Speaker 1: of the week, of course, i'd say Brandon Lee. You
Speaker 1: can see the range in the few actual scenes he
Speaker 1: is in in the Crow, and Heath Ledger comes to mind.
Speaker 1: You're right, and they're both similar to me. They both
Speaker 1: occupy the same sort of space in my head. Good text,
Speaker 1: eight to eight, I appreciate it. Do one more here,
Speaker 1: one more? In the text from the nine to one six,
Speaker 1: it comes from Brook who writes saying, Hey, Jake, just
Speaker 1: wanted to let you know I've been listening to Keith
Speaker 1: Jarrett The Rich and the Poor non stop on repeat
Speaker 1: since you recommend it. It's so good Brooke from the
Speaker 1: nine to one six Brook. You got it, Brook, I
Speaker 1: got another one for you, Hank type for one second,
Speaker 1: let me check this out. This is this other Keith
Speaker 1: Jarrett album that I've been onto in the last couple
Speaker 1: of days. I think I mentioned that The con Concert
Speaker 1: a couple episodes ago, but there's also this record called
Speaker 1: Belonging by Keith Jarrett that is also incredible. That one,
Speaker 1: the Belonging one, is more like what you're hearing on
Speaker 1: that song The Rich and the Poor con Concert is
Speaker 1: solo piano. I believe the entire thing, and Belonging is
Speaker 1: him with the little I think it's a quartet like
Speaker 1: he has in The Rich and the Poor six one
Speaker 1: seven nine oh six six six three eight. Hit me
Speaker 1: up on voicemail, hit me up on text at Disgrace
Speaker 1: slampod on the DMS. Our buddy Chris on It writes
Speaker 1: in via Facebook regarding the Crow soundtrack, which we discuss,
Speaker 1: of course, in this week's full episode on Brandon Lee.
Speaker 1: Maybe the best movie soundtrack I've heard. That's a bold statement.
Speaker 1: Chris appreciate it, though, what else we got here? Teresa
Speaker 1: Hamley writes in Oh Jesus Christ, I'm about to listen
Speaker 1: to this. Holy shit. Ah, Teresa, you talk about one
Speaker 1: of our episodes, and she writes it, I love this
Speaker 1: version of After Midnight. You rock, Jake Lowell. I can't
Speaker 1: sleep without your podcast. You got it, Teresa. We're gonna
Speaker 1: keep pumping them out so you keep getting those eight
Speaker 1: hours eight hours a night. Teresa, do you do the
Speaker 1: eight hours or you do about six or seven? Where
Speaker 1: are you at? The older I get, the more sleep
Speaker 1: I need, I get to say. I don't know what
Speaker 1: it's like for you guys, but I just it's so important.
Speaker 1: It's so important for the brain power, the physical stuff
Speaker 1: I can get through. It's not a drag on me
Speaker 1: physically so much as it is just on making the
Speaker 1: brain work in the morning in the way that I
Speaker 1: needed to work. Okay, let's see Disgrace Lampod at gmail
Speaker 1: dot com. That's how you email me at Disgrace Lampod.
Speaker 1: That's how you send me some dms. I'll do emails
Speaker 1: in a second. We do a couple more dms here.
Speaker 1: This one comes from listener Joshua. Matthew Blevin says, Hey,
Speaker 1: listening to Brandon Lee episode and just a warning, blanks
Speaker 1: are dangerous at close range. I know more than one
Speaker 1: actor in the past, thinking blanks were safe, have killed
Speaker 1: themselves playing around the guns that fire blanks. The firearm
Speaker 1: safety rule should always apply when handling any type of firearms. Recently,
Speaker 1: Airsoft has been making guns that have a fake muzzle
Speaker 1: flash and smoke, and this is probably gonna make movies
Speaker 1: with guns a lot safer.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: One thing that Joshua's reminding me of here that we
Speaker 1: didn't talk about is the film Rust and the Alec
Speaker 1: Baldwin thing, and perhaps there's an episode there. I went
Speaker 1: to see David Spade the other night do a live
Speaker 1: set and he was talking about how they're finishing the
Speaker 1: film Rust, and he had some really funny things to
Speaker 1: say about it. But it reminded me this Alec Baldwin
Speaker 1: stories is completely just dropped out of my head, and
Speaker 1: I think it's an interesting one and I think perhaps
Speaker 1: it could make for a good episode, And you know,
Speaker 1: it's obviously connected to this Brandon Lee topic that we're
Speaker 1: talking about real quick shout out to Justin g Over
Speaker 1: on Instagram, my buddy who sends me a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of great content. He's going through a rough time right
Speaker 1: now with his job. Justin. I hope it turns around
Speaker 1: for you. If it doesn't, you know, just listen to
Speaker 1: some Johnny Paycheck. I'm gonna take a quick break. I'll
Speaker 1: be back in a flash with some emails and reviews. Okay,
Speaker 1: dis Gray sand pod at gmail dot com. You guys
Speaker 1: want to hit me up? Grayson Schmidt writes in Garage

Speaker 1: out what's going on, you know, I diagnose the issue

Speaker 1: steer clear. Oh, I got into the ditty stuff a
Speaker 1: little bit, but I tried to not turn the B
Speaker 1: block into an entire piece of ditty content. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure I succeeded. Like I said, this Diddy stuff is
Speaker 1: hard to put down, it's hard to ignore. There's a
Speaker 1: lot here to discuss. Every single one of these bonus episodes.
Speaker 1: I could spend the whole thing talking about Diddy, but
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do that. I am not going
Speaker 1: to do that. I am, however, in the all access
Speaker 1: portion of this podcast, I am going to talk a
Speaker 1: little bit more about ditty. All right, that's gonna happen
Speaker 1: just after this. You guys, you're like, what's the all
Speaker 1: access Well, if you don't know, you should know. You

Speaker 1: the after party episode here. Okay, that's coming up very shortly.
Speaker 1: Disgrace sampod dot Com slash Membership. All right, guys, we
Speaker 1: are back. I want to get into the archive here.
Speaker 1: A little bit before I take off, we talked about
Speaker 1: Nipsey Hustle. Okay. That episode is episode number fifty seven,
Speaker 1: release date May twelfth, twenty twenty. Lisa Lefti Lopez was
Speaker 1: mentioned that episode. OG episode from season one, episode six,
Speaker 1: release date April seventeenth, twenty eighteen. If you can believe that,
Speaker 1: Bob Marley was also part of season one, Bob Marley
Speaker 1: was also mentioned in this episode. Bob Marley was episode nine. Okay,
Speaker 1: came out a couple weeks after Lisa left I Lopez.
Speaker 1: That's released date May twenty ninth, two thousand and eighteen. Okay, now,
Speaker 1: back in season one, we did a single episode on
Speaker 1: Tupac and Biggie and my take on that episode, it's
Speaker 1: one of my least favorite episodes. But I invite you
Speaker 1: to listen to it, because the take my point of
Speaker 1: view on that episode I think is original. I just
Speaker 1: think the execution of that episode it's just never I
Speaker 1: could you know, it's fuck You know, when you make
Speaker 1: something you're just like, I can't fucking get it right.
Speaker 1: That's what it was with that episode. Episode ten released
Speaker 1: day June twelfth, twenty eighteen. And my point was that
Speaker 1: the media did it. That the media really just stoked
Speaker 1: the whole East Coast West Coast rivalry to such a
Speaker 1: fever pitch that it resulted in murder. And I'm not
Speaker 1: so sure I believe that anymore. Okay. I was actually
Speaker 1: thinking the other day in light of this whole Diddy thing,
Speaker 1: and in light of the fact that there's this rumor
Speaker 1: that Tupac's family have retained new legal representation to look
Speaker 1: into Sean Combs related to the murder of Tupac, I
Speaker 1: started to think of about what what do I actually
Speaker 1: think about Tupac's murder? What do I actually think about
Speaker 1: Biggie's murder? And after doing that episode that I just mentioned,
Speaker 1: after writing and releasing another two part episode on Tupac Secure,
Speaker 1: episode sixty nine, released on January twenty six, twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: and episode seventy released on February second, twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: After those two episodes, I still don't know. And then
Speaker 1: we did two episodes on Biggie Smalls, and those episodes
Speaker 1: are from that same season, that same year. I believe
Speaker 1: that's season eight. Those are released on Those are episodes
Speaker 1: eighty and eighty one, released May eleventh and May twenty fifth, respectively,
Speaker 1: a two part Biggie Smalls episode. I have a bit
Speaker 1: of a theory, but I'm not so sure I believe
Speaker 1: it anymore. And the person who I have sort of
Speaker 1: theorized hunched who may have been involved, I don't actually
Speaker 1: know that I believe that anymore. I really don't, and
Speaker 1: I'd love to talk to that person, and that person
Speaker 1: is not that hard to get to, so I'm thinking
Speaker 1: I might try to do that in relation to this
Speaker 1: Diddy story as well. I am going to go back
Speaker 1: and I'm going to listen to all those Tupac and
Speaker 1: Biggie episodes that I just mentioned, because I really got
Speaker 1: to get my thinking right on this. I think the truth.
Speaker 1: I think we're all just we're way off. We're way off.
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but that's my current thinking. Anyways,
Speaker 1: all those episodes are there for you to check out.
Speaker 1: We mentioned a ton in this episode here. The archive
Speaker 1: easy to get to obviously. You know you're on Apple Podcasting,
Speaker 1: you're on Spotify. The archives right there, keep scrolling back.
Speaker 1: A real easy way to get to these episodes, though,
Speaker 1: is our website. We have a listen page where we
Speaker 1: literally have every single episode that we've ever released with
Speaker 1: links where you can listen right there. So go check
Speaker 1: that out if you want to get into the disgrace
Speaker 1: Land archive. All right, all right, I just want to
Speaker 1: say thank you for all the calls, all the voicemails,
Speaker 1: the reviews, the dms, all the engagement, the listening. Even
Speaker 1: if you just out there listening silently, you never talk
Speaker 1: to me, and that's the majority of you. Frankly, thank you.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, I really do. I got to get
Speaker 1: out of here, though, So let's recap number one right
