With work and I try to do my creative task mainly the writing of the podcast in the morning hours. But you can't always control when inspiration is going to hit. So last night I'm up until about midnight researching and then I, I start writing, which I didn't want to do, but I had to go with it. I'm in the flow. I stay up way later than I want to. I still got to get up early in the morning and I'm bone tired. Coffee isn't helping. So thankfully I've got my stash of five hour Energy and they've got this new Confetti craze flavor that I love. It's fantastic. Tastes great. Tastes like a party in a bottle. Which when you're dragging in the morning, believe me, is much needed. Fantastic flavor with this new five Hour Energy confetti. Great. It's just vanilla y buttery. That's my jam right there. One of the things I also like about five hour Energy, the bottles. As you probably know, they're tiny and resealable. I can take em anywhere I want. So if I'm gonna hit a wall later in the day, I'm prepared. I just tap into my five Hour Energy stash and I am good to go. Wherever I go. This is a little party in a bottle. It's gonna pump you up. It's gonna get you rolling into your day. Whether it's the morning, whether it's the afternoon, whether it' confetti craze flavor is available online, head to www.5hourenergy.com or Amazon to order yours today.

Welcome to the Disgraceland bonus episode. A little thing we like to call the afterparty. This is the show after the show, the party after the party. The bridge to get you from one full episode of Disgraceland to the other. The backyard to dig into the dirt. Our mission, to uncover the truth, to confront the myth, to reclaim the story. On this bonus episode, we are talking about this week's full episode subject, Motorhead. We're rewinding back to our Willie Nelson episodes, previewing our upcoming episode on Kendrick Lamar. And we get into your voicemails, texts, DMs, and, as always, a whole lot of Rosie. This is the podcast for the musically obsessed, the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. Disgraceland is where I tell the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. All right, Discos, let's get into it. So when I was growing up, real little elementary School, early 80s, 1983 to be precise, I lived across the street from a Seventh Day Adventist church. It was in Lancaster, Massachusetts. It was before I moved to Clinton with my family. And we lived sort of in the footprint of the Adventist church, the Seventh Day Adventist Church. There was the church, but there was also like a fairground or a campus. I'm not even exactly sure what it was. Yeah, it was a campus. Atlantic Union College was nearby, and we kind of lived right in the middle of all that. The church, though, was literally across the street from our front door. And I remember this distinctly. One morning, I was in my front yard, which was like a postage stamp front yard, very, very small front yard. And across the street, a blue Camaro pulled up and about four or five metal heads got out of that Camaro and they started to hang out in the front, let's call it a yard of the church. There was a cement wall and it kind of jetted out from the. From the front yard of the church out to the street a little bit. And there were some big, big trees there. And they pulled right up, these metal heads, they popped out. They were blasting Ozzy Osbourne. I remember it distinctly. I remember knowing who Ozzy Osbourne was at the time. I remember the myths about Ozzy Osbourne. And I remember being a little freaked out, probably a lot freaked out. I Was at this point, like I said, it was 1983. I was in the third grade, and I was actually very freaked out by Ozzy Osbourne. This was Bark at the Moon era. So this is the height of kind of the. All of the. Kind of the height of the Ozzy Osbourne rumor mill that that was spreading around schools about biting off the heads of. And I'll never forget this. One of the metalheads, the one driving the car, got out of the Camaro and they walked up to that front part of the church that jetted out, and they got up on that cement wall, and they got up onto the grass above it by the big trees, and they had a huge wooden cross. They nailed it into the tree, kept Ozzie blaring, and just proceeded to hang out. I don't know if they were drinking beers, smoking weed. I certainly thought they were doing all manner of that. And in my memory, I might be remembering it differently, but I swear the cross that they nailed into that tree, they hung it up and it was upside down, though I can't vouch for that. That seems a little bit extreme. So let's just say they nailed the cross into the tree that I remember. Now. You gotta keep in mind what these metal heads were like. This was the 1983 version of a metalhead, which was similar to. Oh, if you've ever seen that great movie over the Edge, Matt Dillon's first movie. And these. It's not really about metalheads, but that was kind of the kids in that movie, the Matt Dillon movie, Over the Edge. I believe the director, Jonathan Kaplan, I believe he just died a couple weeks ago. Fantastic movie. I wrote about over the Edge of my book pertaining to juvenile delinquency and Axl Rose. These kids were badass, is my point. And again, the 1983 version of badass, which was different than the 1993 suburban version of Badass. I was scared, full stop. These guys scared the hell out of me. If you need another. Another film reference, just think Kelly Leek from Bad News Bears. Think about five of those dudes, okay? And again, Ozzy Osbourne playing in the background, blaring. This is one of my first introductions to Ozzy Osbourne, musically, culturally. Like I said, I'd heard of him. I don't remember exactly how. Myths, the rumors, all that, but this was it in real life, and this was my own little kind of mini personal satanic panic of holy. These guys are real. And they are right here across the street from my house, and they're. They're Nailing in crosses and they're probably gonna fucking kill me. I didn't know what was going on. I just knew it was nuts. And these guys, like I said, were badass. Now speaking of badass. Modern day badass. Badass. Ozzy Osbourne grew into an entirely different character over the course of his life. He was, he was lovable. He was not. I mean, I mean, he's always badass, but you know what I'm saying, in the end, he wasn't scary. His wife, Sharon Osborne, on the other hand, completely different story. Now I have nothing but respect for Sharon Osbourne. You can hear that in the Ozzy Osbourne episode of Disgraceland that we, that we produced and released a couple years ago. But make no mistake about it, you did not fuck with Sharon Osborne and you still don't. The idea of covering Sharon Osborne exclusively in an episode of Disgraceland, it never occurred to me until now, until after Ozzy's death. In these past few weeks, Sharon Osbourne by any definition is a music industry badass. Since her husband's death, a lot of people have said a lot of things about the Osbournes. And there's this wild rumor percolating this week. You know, we had this issue where there was this BBC documentary that was supposed to air. It was supposed to air a couple days ago. I'm recording this on August 20th. And then right before it was gonna air, like that day, it might have been the day just before the BBC pulled it. And they didn't really give an explanation when they pulled it. They came out about 24 hours later and they said that they pulled it at the behest of the family. The family recommended, the Osbournes recommended that this documentary on Ozzy did not air. So there's been, like I said, wild rumors about why this documentary did not air. Reddit lit up with ridiculous conjecture about Ozzy being canceled sometime in the near future for sexual indiscretions from his past. Which as someone who's done a fair amount of research on the so called Prince of Darkness, these are to me anyways, highly dubious allegations. I'm confident saying that. I don't believe that these allegations about Ozzy being canceled in some sort of me too thing. It's nothing but trolley Internet rumors. And this is what happens when a dude as legendary as Ozzy Osbourne dies. The vultures start circling the truth, it gets buried. And the myth, well, the myth can sometimes become a weapon. And you know what I've been saying around here, this is, you know, nothing's getting buried here in disgrace land. We're here to dig things up. And ideally the truth. And the trut truth doesn't necessarily mean scandal. The truth doesn't necessarily mean rumors. Sometimes the truth is just boring, but sometimes it's fucking batshit crazy. Now one of the rumors that's popped up in the wake of Ozzy's death and I want to get to. I wanna get to the truth of the matter on is that his wife Sharon, who was also his fearsome music manager, was allegedly party to an assisted suicide pact with Ozzy. And this pact was carried out allegedly to end her husband's suffering from Parkinson's disease. Sharon Osborne hasn't commented on these rumors since Ozzy's death. But her daughter Kelly did comment on this supposed pact just prior to Ozzy dying. And now in a dark corner of the Internet, we're seeing suggestions that this is all somehow tied to the cancellation of this BBC documentary. So were Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne in a suicide pact? Was it euthanasia that did Ozzy Osbourne in? Finally at the end, Zeth and I are gonna go down the rabbit hole on this story and into Sharon Osbourne's ruthless past as a music manager. A past with allegations that she stole Ozzy's master tapes from Jet Records. Allegations that she once told a rival she would bury him and his fucking kids. And how she completely sabotaged. And this isn't allegation, this is confirmed, how she sabotaged Iron Maiden on stage for once fucking with her husband, with messing with Ozzy. You can hear Zeth and I in this rabbit hole in the exclusive section of this here after party bonus episode. The truth behind Ozzy, Sharon and the supposed suicide pact. It is murky. Okay, There's a quote in Sharon's own memoir that is pretty informative. Her daughter Kelly, she's been very public and being out there and denying this suicide pact. There's again the BBC documentary poll that I mentioned. And then there's some reports from the paramedics there at the end with Ozzy, they inform, I believe, the truth of this whole thing. We're gonna get to the truth in the exclusive section here of the after party, what I'm now calling the exclusive rabbit hole, where Zeth and I are gonna dive in. I think we're gonna do this every week. We're gonna try it today, see what happens, see if we like it, see if you guys like it. More importantly, we're going to dive into Sharon Osborne, her violent family legacy, her business tactics, that have been called quote unquote, ruthless. And what these euthanasia rumors really tell us about fame, death and control. If you've ever wondered how far someone will go to protect not just their family, but to protect the mythology around rock stardom, this might be that story.

I'll be back in a flash right after this with your voicemails, your texts, your DMs and more. I think the last time I spoke to you guys about Quint, I told you about the Transit quilted duffel bag that I got for my wife. Well, I got myself a Napa leather duffel bag from Quince as well, and I just used it. We used both our bags on this family trip that we took out west. I love this bag. Okay? It looks cool, it looks casual. It looks way more expensive than it is. Not that I care about that, but it just. It's good quality and you can kind of tell when you just. Just look at it. I stuffed it with my new double brush stretch jacket from Quince. You know, when you're going out to dinner, it's summertime, it's too hot to wear a jacket, but you're going somewhere kind of dressy, but you don't want to wear a blazer. You're kind of in that sort of formal fashion. No man's land. That's where the double brushed stretch jacket from Quince comes into play. It dresses you up casually and smartly, and you can rock it out around town as well if you're just running errands and you want to look good. This jacket is my new favorite addition to my wardrobe and like I said it along with my Go to Quince Merino all season base tees fit perfectly in my Nappa leather duffel bag from Quince. The best part of all this? Everything with Quints is half the cost of similar brands. Okay, that's important. That matters and they can do this because they work directly with top artisans.

All right, we are back guys. This week in Disgrace and new episode on Motorhead. All right, check that out. It's available for you right now wherever you listen to your podcast. Coming up in the rewind slot right after this after party bonus episode, we've got our Willie Nelson episodes, Parts one and Part two. Next week, our new episode will be on Kendrick Lamar. And because of this Kendrick Lamar story, we're thinking about mercy. Now I know this is kind of an esoteric question for next week, but when you're listening to that Kendrick episode, be thinking about mercy. And specifically be thinking about musical artists who have demonstrated mercy. Now, I'm not talking about Matt Bowden's favorite metal band, Merciful Fate. I'm talking about artists, rock stars, musicians who have shown mercy who have shown forgiveness, who have shown overwhelming acts of kindness, even. 617-906-6638, voicemail and text. Get at me. Let me know which artists have shown the greatest examples of mercy in their past in their songwriting. I mean, Marvin Gaye, you know, obviously, if we want to go to the literal route right there for you. But I know there are others, and I know you know about them. So call me up 617-906-6638 and let me know via voicemail and text. All right, you guys know where I'm at. I'm here every week. I'm in the phone booth. It's the one. It's the one that's across the hall. I am hanging on the telephone. The question of the week relative to our Motorhead episode that we asked at the end of that Motorhead episode was which concert from your youth was your most formative? Now, we asked this. Obviously, I go. I go into detail in the Motorhead episode about me seeing Motorhead live, about me meeting Lemmy as well. And it just seemed like an occasion to ask this question. I love this question because everyone likes talking about the first concerts that really left an impression on them. Let's check out the 21 7.

Listener Callers
Hey, Jake. This is Joe from 217 doing some work here, listening to your podcast. Gonna respond to one of your extra episodes. And I stepped in a bucket of paint. But anyway, back to it, the response is. The first big influential band that I ever seen live was AC DC on their Back in Black tour. Believe it was 1981. Might have been 1980. Their backup band was Blackfoot. This incredible concert. I was 14 at the time, talked my mother into taking me. And right now to an episode where you are saying that one of your first albums that you got was ACD Scene. You went to see Back in Black or get the album Back in Black, and you end up getting. I think it was Let There Be Rock. Anyway, you can't go wrong with anybody. Scott, Love your show. Keep on doing what you're doing. Love the way you incorporate songs of the artist into the episode that you're talking about. Thanks for everything, man.
- [19:52]
Jake Brennan
All right. Seeing ACDC217 on the back In Black tour is quite extraordinary. I am jealous. Sounds like I'm a little younger than you. I didn't actually see ACDC until 86 on the WHO Made who tour, and they were fantastic. And you convinced your mom to take you? I convinced my dad to take me. I didn't have to do much convincing. My dad liked ACDC. My dad knew they were the shit. 217. Watch out for that bucket of paint. And yeah, you're right, it was Let There Be Rock. And thank you for the shout out about incorporating the songs of the artist, guys. I think we're gonna. What we're gonna do for our Patreon listeners. We're gonna be rolling out some new tiers for you in. In the very near future that it's gonna have a lot more content for you to access. And in one of those tiers, we're gonna start doing these weekly playlists based on the episode from that week. So, for example, this week with Motorhead. And it wouldn't just be a Motorhead playlist, it would be sort of everything that kind of goes into that story. So any other songs that we mentioned, including the number one song that we mentioned in the A block relative to the Mellotron loop, anything related to what inspired that week's subject? So what inspired Lemmy or. Or, you know, were there other artists who went off and did solos? You know. You know what I'm saying? It'll be a complete sort of musical look to accompany the episode via playlist on Spotify and Apple Music. So we're going to start to roll those out in a couple weeks again. That'll be part of the new. New tiered offering in Patreon. And Sounds like we're making the right move because it sounds like 21 7. You appreciate it. When we get into the actual songs here, we incorporate them into the story. Of course. Why wouldn't we? I'm just happy to know that you're into it and happy to know that we are circling the hole here and trying to provide value for you guys. Let's check out eli in the 501.

This is Eli from Arkansas calling from the 501. Even though this is a 479 number, because I refuse to change my area code because I'm not used to that yet, even though I live in a different part of Arkansas now. You've literally done every one of my favorite bands now. The Replacements, Motorhead. All you're missing sounds anzant. I hope that's coming down the pike at some point. Even the Cramps. I love what you do, man. The Motorhead episode. I was just gonna say my favorite story about Lemmy in general. He was the walk and tall rock and roll cowboy. And when Dave Grohl first saw him at the Rainbow, he didn't want to say anything to him or whatever. And so he just walked past him going to the, to the bathroom, if I remember the story right. And I think he finally mustered up the balls to go and say hi to him. And he walked up to him and the first thing let me said to him was, I'm sorry about your friend. Talking about Kurt Cobain, of course, which is just the most beautiful thing in the world. You know, like the guy had a heart and like that, that just shows it, you know, it, it, you know, never, never met the guy before and they're both fellow, whatever, famous musicians. But you know, just the, the amount of respect there for Kuroko band is just absolutely beautiful. So I just want to throw that in there. Thanks for everything you do, man. Also, I love that Replacements episode. They're my favorite band of all time, literally next to Motorhead. So thank you for everything, man. Rock and roll.
- [23:22]
Jake Brennan
Eli, thank you for the kind words. Appreciate you, man. Glad you liked the Motorhead and Replacements episodes. We do have a Townes Van Zant episode that we produced for our Patreon and Apple subscribers. Once that's been available exclusively for a year, we will roll that out into the wide feed. So that'll be coming in a couple months. But hey, if you want it now, man, get in. Get in and become a member. I've already given you enough information on how to do that. Listen, Dave Grohl, the way Lemmy treated him there, just perfect. Just fucking perfect. Class act. You're absolutely right. Matt, give the 916 a spin.

Jake, it's Mr. Taylor from Raleigh, North Carolina calling about first concert. My first concert when I was 10 years old, my mom went and took me to see Jethro Tull at the Holt center in Eugene, Oregon. When they played Locomotive Breath, I rushed the stage and Ian Anderson pointed at me, gave me a knowing nod. And since it has kicked off, a love of live music. And now as a father of four, I think very intentionally about how my kids are going to experience their first concert. I want them to have that moment when they're in college, you know, or they're older and they're meeting people for the first time and they have that conversation about what was your first concert. And I want it to be a band that is still around. A band that maybe they can go see again later on in life. So my 8 year old's first concert when he was 5 was my chemical Romance. But really we were there to see the opening band, Turnstile, which is now his favorite band. I even pulled some strings, got us backstage and he got to meet the band. The boys could not have been cooler. My six year old daughter's first concert when she was five was Olivia Rodrigo. We flew to Washington D.C. before the show. I remember she spent a half hour gluing gems to my face. It was a great moment between the two of us and an amazing concert. And now my four year old and I are having that conversation about what concert she wants to see when she's five. So just a big moment for anybody really excited to share that with my kids and foster a lifelong love of live music. Love the show. I'll tell you how it all turns out in 10, 15 years when my kids are older because I'm sure you'll be doing something here or somewhere else and I'm definitely going to be listening. Love it, brother.

Jake Brennan
Rock and Rolla916 when you talk about rushing the stage and making eye contact with Ian Anderson, when you're a kid and you're at your first show, there's just, there's nothing more thrilling than feeling like you've made a connection with the artist and alive situation. Harder for dudes than it is for women. I've been to shows with my wife. Even now she's just staring up there on stage. Dudes are just, you know, laser beaming in. I get it. I totally get it. But when you're a little kid, I remember going to see Metallica and I got, I was older, I was in high school and justice for all tour and I got really close, got up to like the third row and I just remember like they looked so human to me. You know, it was the first time like I was like, wow, these guys are real. They're moving around in front of me and I, I think I would have like thrown up or something if Kirk Hammett or James Hetfield made eye contact with me. I don't remember them doing so, but I do remember being that close and just wow. So I get it. 916. I get what you're talking about and good luck with your kid. Sounds like you're doing the right thing. I love the Turnstile story. You know, I'm a fan. I think for your 4 year old. I think you just gotta. For her show, her first show. I don't know what she's into, but just bring her to Metallica at the Sphere. Do that. That should be the first show. Metallica at the Sphere for your four year old's first show when she's five, assuming it happens next year. If not, wait until she's six. Just. That would be epic, right? Rock a roll of 916. All right, let's do some text. 617-906-6638. Guys, voicemail and text. You want to get at me on anything, really? But next week's question of the week. Mercy. Which musicians, which rock stars? Which artists have shown the most demonstrated version of mercy or forgiveness or kindness? All right, let's flip the script a little here. We're always talking about transgressions and bad. Let's talk about some good stuff, some pma. All right? In the meantime, let's check out this text from the615. Hey, I not only lived in Nashville, but I lived in Clinton, Mass. I ran a store and rent them. Also lived in Norwich, Connecticut. So I got all the inferences from the Alex Rocco pod. She's talking about the Hollywoodland episode we did this week. This is Susan, formerly from the615. She says, Susan, when did you live in Clinton? Text me back and let me know. I wonder if we lived there at the same time. Susan goes on to say, I do appreciate your story about meeting Lemmy. So this dive bar we used to go to when Kenny Chesney would sit in with us, hang out with us because he was a nobody then. I wasn't into country music. Oh, you play for George Strait? I'm sorry, who's that? But Fred Curry and Tom Keefer walked in one night and I told my friend, omg, that's Cinderella. And we played pool with them all night. That's pretty cool. What am I playing pool with Cinderella? Did you ever see Cinderella, though? I haven't. I thought Cinderella were going to be huge. They weren't four to five texts in. Hey, Jake, it's Jules from the 425. My first concert in the early 70s was Alice Cooper and Susie Quatro. Was the opening for them in Los Angeles. It was insane. What a show. Never looked back and started going to concerts from age 15 on rocka rolla. Love the show. Damn. Set you on your way, right? Alice Cooper and Susie Quatro. You gotta be kidding me. Pretty incredible. Eight, five, six. Hey, Mark from the 856. First show is Aerosmith with Skid Row opening. Sound and volume of the drums blew me away. But my second show was Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax at the Spectrum in Philly in 92 with with Alice in Chains opening. What a lineup. Alice in Chains, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax blazing from opener to Slayer. Closing is what the 8, 5, 6 says I've seen Slayer and Alice in Chains. Did I see Alice in Chains? I can't remember. I don't think I'd ever seen Megadeth or Anthrax, but I saw Slayer with Motorhead. I mentioned that a lot. 617-906-6638. You guys want to get at us about anything related to Disgraceland? Hit us up via voicemail. And and remember the question of the week next week. When you listen to that Kendrick Lamar episode, Which artist best demonstrated mercy? Let us know. Get at us. 617-906-6638 I'm gonna take a quick break. I'll be back in a flash.

Imagine the possibilities. All right, we are back. Listen guys, Hollywoodland got a great episode this week. Go check that out. It's on Alex Rocco. I swear I'm not gonna call him. Mo Rocca in this episode of the after party, despite having said it numerous times, and the Hollywoodland Rap party. This is one of my favorite episodes. Just because of the connection between Alex Rocco and Boston in Somerville, Massachusetts, and the connection to, of course, the Godfather. One of my favorite movies of all time. One of your favorite movies of all time, Hollywoodland, for those of you who do not know, is our Hollywood and True crime podcast that I host. And every week we do a bonus episode, this one in the Hollywoodland feed. In addition to the full episode, we do a bonus episode with Zeth and I. Zeth really takes the helm on the rap party. Matt, give him a little clip. Jake, what music wrecks inspired by Alex Rocco are you bringing today? I gotta admit, I completely fucked up and I did Mo Rocco recommendations. I knew you were going to. I was wondering why this was so hard. Alex Rocca. Alex Rocca. Okay, I think. Oh, Rocco, Rocco. Yeah, fuck. That's right. That's right. Mo Rocca. Why can't I do this right? I did. Okay, so I screwed up already. I did. I literally did. Alex Rocca, even though it's Alex Rocco got me. To Alex Rocca. Rocca Rola. Okay. Rocka Rolla. All right. The sign off from Disgraceland, one of the hundred greatest podcasts of all time. I just found out. We'll talk more about that in Disgracenet. Rocka Rolla. People have often asked me and I tell them this answer and I get very little feedback from it. But it's from the Judas Priest song Rocka Rolla from their debut album, 1974's Rocka Rolla. The song is incredible. I, you know, I knew the song when I started recording Disgraceland and writing Disgraceland. I had no intention of using that as a sign off. It's just something that came to mind and I said it immediately and I just. Without any thought, I said it and I just kept saying it. Well, now, Rocka Rolla, which I highly, highly recommend as a song. It's great. It's Judas Priest. It's got harmonica. It's so fucking good. And anyways, it's a big part of all the best Priest songs have harmonica. The 70s albums are wild when they don't really quite know what they're doing yet. It's great. All right.

Now listen, it is time for the 60 second sports rant in under 30 seconds and I am all keyed up. And not just because I've been drinking five Hour Energy. I am keyed up because what the hell are the Red Sox doing? For real. All right, Matt, Matt, hold up on that buzzer beater for just a second. Let me tell the people that this episode of the 60 second sports rant in under 30 seconds is brought to you again by our friends at 5 Hour Energy and their new confetti craze. Flavor tastes just like birthday cake with a vanilla and buttery flavor. To let you be unapologetically extra and unstoppably energized. Head to your local retailer www.fivehourenergy.com or Amazon to order yours today. All right, Matt, now you can hook a brother up with that buzzer beater. Listen, the Boston Red Sox have lost three in a row. Looking up at the Yankees again. I don't even know where to. I just. I'm beside myself here. I feel like we got a series coming up this weekend with the New York Yankees. This is potentially a season defining series. The Red Sox really need to get off the snide now. Am I confident? No. Is it because the Red Sox don't have enough pitching? Is it because they can't hit their way out of extra innings? No and no. Is it because I'm afraid Major League baseball is going to do something stupid like implement a time saving ghost runner man. Dude on second to augment their ridiculous extra innings guys starting on second rule that they have now. No, that's not why. I'm not confident. You know, I'm not confident. I'm going to tell you why. Because the Red Sox lack killers. Now that's not to say they don't have any killers. They do. They have a couple. But they don't have enough. Not enough to win a World Series. Not right now. And I go back to the trade Deb, I'm not going to do it. But I do. I go back to the trade debt. Listen, to win a World Series you need baseball players with ice water in their veins killing machine late inning assassins. And aside from Chapman and Bregman, where is the steely eyed, can't be shook killer attitude on these players that I'm watching in extra innings now in the regular season? Where's it where if they don't have it now, they're not going to have it in the championship. These last few games against the Baltimore fricking Orioles have proven to me that this is what is most needed out of this school. And if they're going to pass the Yankees, who like I said, they're now looking up at in the standings, I don't, I don't. I don't know that they can do it without augmenting the team in some way or someone. You wanted the younger players stepping up. They might be too young, they might be too green, they might be too happy, they might be too nice. I don't know. They're too something. But they're not killer enough. And I hope I'm wrong. Matt, How'd I do? Sorry, Jake. 155 this week. Wonder if maybe we should consider maybe renaming the segment 30 second sports rant. Under two and a half minutes or something. I don't know. You know, I just gotta. Maybe I don't have killer instinct. Maybe. Maybe I should take some of my own medicine here. Maybe I should. I should go back to the drawing board. I should go. I should get. Go back to the research and the analytics. Try to figure this out. Try to try to land this plane in under 30 seconds. That was the sports rant sponsored by Five Hour Energy's new confetti craze flavor.

We're going to get into both along with the Ozzy Osbourne euthanasia rumors that have cropped up in the bonus rabbit hole section of this after party. What's that? Well, listen, it's this new segment we're doing. I don't know. Zeth's gonna join me now. I think we're just gonna. I wanna figure out this Elliott Smith thing we did last week And Al Jackson Jr. You know, oftentimes Seth and I are just calling each other, texting each other, emailing each other all day, every day asking, are there. Is there enough here for this story on this artist on this episode? I thought why don't we just do it here in the bonus section. We'll climb into the rabbit hole. We'll do it in real time with you guys. You can chime in whether you think there's enough here on an episode or not. And we're gonna start today with the Sharon Osborne thing. We might end it today too if it doesn't work. If you guys aren't into it, I don't know, we'll see. But if it's something cool, we'll keep doing it, man.

We talked a lot in this episode, mainly in the exclusive portion about some Disgraceland featured artists. We mentioned Keith Moon, we mentioned Jimmy Page, we mentioned AC DC and Dave Grohl earlier, I think back in the C block when we were taking calls, all those artists have Disgraceland episodes existing in our massive archive of over 230 episodes. Matt will have the episode information for you in the show notes of this bonus episode. So you can easily find those stories should you be interested and why shouldn't you be?
