Jake (Disgraceland Host)
hey Discos, need a little more Disgrace Land in your life? Just a touch to get you through. Yeah, me too. This is the podcast that comes after the podcast welcome to Disgraceland. The After Party. Welcome to the Disgraceland bonus episode. A little thing we like to call the after party. This is the show after the show, the party after the party. The bridge to get you from one full episode of Graceland to the other, the backyard to dig into the dirt on this bonus episode, we are talking about this week's subject of the Disgrace and full episode, Travis Scott and his disastrous Astroworld concert. Still more guys from this incredible Sean Combs story that refuses to quit. And we've got the special Blink 182 Tom DeLong live stream storytelling event that I'm staging on October 9th. And of course we are diving into your voicemails, texts and more. And as always, a host lot of Rosie. All right, Discos, let's get into it. Some listeners came at me pretty hard over my depiction of Travis Scott in this week's full episode, mainly on social media, where I called him a monster. And we alluded to it, of course, in the full episode. I'm not surprised. I get it. Fans are going to fan. But. But it doesn't change the fact that Travis Scott's actions at Astroworld are indefensible. And for those arguing that they are, that he couldn't have done anything about what went down, that he could have could not have prevented it. You just don't have the facts. I'm not going to relitigate it here in the bonus episode, but I am going to reinforce the fact that had Travis Scott not completed his full set at AstroWorld. He would not have received the $4.5 million streaming concert fee that was coming his way. That is the reason I believe, that he did not stop playing when it was clear that people were getting hurt. Now, as I've stated in the Patreon Chat, and a lot of you guys know this, I used to sing in a band, a hardcore band. We weren't huge, but we were pretty big. And we played some big shows with pretty big crowds and violent crowds, too. I mean, this was hardcore in the 90s. And you just knew. I knew as a singer, as the front person of this band, that someone goes down in the pit, things are getting out of hand. You stop the show. You stop the show, and you make sure that that person is all right. Now, you might say, well, yeah, you were in a band. You were playing to, like, hundreds of people, at most thousands of people sometimes. And, yeah, you're right. But I was also part of a scene that went to shows with much bigger bands. And I'm talking about from when I was a kid. So fugazi. Sick of it all. But even bigger bands, Pearl Jam. There was a sort of unsaid rule that this was the responsibility of the front person to stop the show when someone got hurt in the crowd. When you noticed anything that was gonna possibly harm somebody out there, you stopped the show and you made sure that person was all right, that they got the medical attention they needed or whatever they got the water needed. They got escorted from the crowd. They got pulled out. This is what responsible musicians did. This is how I learned. This is what I did. This is not what Travis Scott did. It's clear, Okay, I wasn't there. But you've heard the episode. You've heard what we dug up in the research. You can see some of this with your own eyes with the footage. You can hear the accounts from the people who were there. And again, I point to the fact that had he not finished the show, a $4.5 million fee was not coming his way. Okay, now you say, well, he didn't know. He did know. He did know. You say, how do you know he knew he was on stage? You weren't on stage with him. Yeah, okay, perhaps. But the shit that was going down was not that far away from him. Well, what about the lighting? You can't really see much when you're on stage. Yes, you're right. You can't. I know this. But you can get a vibe and you can see some things. And furthermore, he had somebody in his Earpiece telling that, hey, things are getting rowdy out there. You gotta wrap it up. And he did not do it. Okay? That's where my point of view is coming from on this. Now, the greater question is why? And you know, I'm hitting on it right here. I think it was greed, pure and simple. And as cynical as this is gonna sound, it was $4.5 million for 10 lives. That's how many people died at this show. 10 people. So like most psychopaths, the signs are obvious in the rearview mirror. All right, Travis Scott tells us who he is in his lyrics to the song Money, Power, Respect, saying, quote, we got cash to get carrots hanging from my neck. Money, power, respect. Quit talking. Cut the check. I'm not going to read more of this drivel masquerading as music. But you should know the lyrics go on to talk about Travis banging some dude's niece, doing drugs, and getting, quote, respect. This guy's a fucking tool. Getting respect. Who brags about getting respect? Dudes with something to compensate for, that's who. The lyrics here would be excusable, perhaps even irreverent and funny, if the music in the execution wasn't so pedestrian and simple. The only value the lyrics have is revealing the true character of this guy. Okay? Now, some listeners mentioned that Travis wasn't the only one to blame, and they are right. That's why a $750 million lawsuit was filed on behalf of the victim's families, not just against Travis Scott, but against Live nation, which was AstroWorld's partner, the promoter, excuse me. And then also against Apple Music, who is a partner of the show, and a couple other corporate entities. The suit was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount. So score one for the good guys, I guess. The attorney who scored that win, one Tony Busby, a larger than life, very successful ex Marine from Texas, turned trial attorney, Tony Busby, also made a lot of news this week because Tony Busby announced that he is representing the 120 different people bringing individual cases. Okay? Not a class action suit. 120 individual cases against one Sean Diddy Combs, alleging that Combs raped them and drugged them in order to do so. The Whopper news item in this development is that unlike the federal indictment filed a couple weeks ago against Sean Combs, these lawsuits, like I said, allege rape. They also allege that this sexual abuse happened against minors. There are no minors mentioned in the federal indictment. Okay, but wait, there's more. Hold on a minute. When this news broke on Tuesday, I was already Preparing to talk to you guys about this past weekend's newest Diddy news, which I didn't wanna do, but the news was too compelling not to. Okay. Attorney Ariel Mitchell Kidd recently went on News Nation, that's a cable news show, to discuss her client Adria English's forthcoming civil lawsuit against Diddy alleging a 2018 rape. It's worth mentioning that since the federal indictment was filed a couple weeks ago that the Internet is awash with new allegations against Sean Combs. We talked about this in last week's bonus episode. A lot of these allegations have zero proof. But what makes this allegation credible here, this, this one from Adria English, is that her attorney, Ariel Mitchell Kidd, who went on News Nation to talk about this. She's claiming that her client filed a corroborating police report, which is huge news and it goes a long way in speaking to the credibility of the alleged claim. And then, and then the attorney on News Nation in this interview goes on to say separately from her client's case that she, the attorney, was solicited recently as a catch and kill attorney for a freak off video featuring Combs and another individual who was, quote, more high profile than Sean Combs. You don't get much more high profile than Sean Combs. So who could this individual be? Okay, you know why I'm talking to you guys about this? This is. I think this is a credible allegation and it's compelling. I don't want to speculate who this individual might be, but it's hard not to. I will tell you, there is a lot of speculation on the Internet on TikTok, in particular about Jay Z's culpability in all this. Is Jay Z more high profile than Diddy? Perhaps I could make the case, but I don't think that's where the attorney was going. Because after dropping this bomb about the, quote, unquote, more high profile individual allegedly having sex on this tape with Sean Cohen Combs there in the room, allegedly. The attorney mentions politicians. So which politicians are more high profile than Sean Combs? It's a very, very short list. So you can see why I'm talking about this with you right now. Somehow, however, this news was trumped with even more damning Diddy news. But before we get back to the rape being alleged by 120 individuals from the Texas attorn Busby, I have to briefly bring you guys up to speed on another compelling, problematic, yet credible to my eyes, victim that I became aware of over the weekend. And that's alli Carter. Whose TikTok video alleging that she was sex trafficked and abused by Diddy as A minor, a 14 year old, is so horrifically specific that she is either an Academy Award worthy actress or has had unspeakable crimes perpetrated upon her by this monster of a man, Sean Combs. It should be noted that I think Ally Carter thinks she's Tupac's daughter. And I know what that sounds like, but I would just encourage you to watch the video yourself. Carter claims to have been a quote unquote party favor, a 14 year old sex trafficked sexual prop up for the offering at these parties for quote unquote, demonic and degrading acts from Combs and other high profile friends of Combs. The claims are shocking. Shocking. Okay? And I'm not just going over this because they're shocking to me. Like I said, they seem credible and I know I'm probably not adding, I'm probably not helping my case that these claims are credible here. I'm not articulating it well enough. I can, I can hear that in my voice. But this is a gut check. This is the thing, when you watch it, you kind of know. Okay, first of all, party favor. Have we heard that before mentioned in this case? No, I haven't. I hadn't. And I'm all over this shit on TikTok and I have not seen it, I have not heard it until Ally Carter. Okay, that's just one piece of this. Okay? You just have to. I'm going to talk about Ally Carter more in the, the bonus section of this after party. But I encourage all of you guys to search up her. It's just like direct camera on TikTok. She's giving her account of these events. Okay. Not safe for work, by the way. Little heads up. So she seems to me to be credible, but that's just my gut. So those were the two new developments, like I said, that I was reluctantly going to talk to you guys about this week because like I said last week, I am hoping to move on from this story as it develops behind the scenes while the feds build their case. But that's not happening. The case is going to develop out in the open and the credible evidence that is going to come out, I believe that is going to come out over the next 30 to 60 days. Again, the credible evidence is going to be impossible to ignore. All right, which brings us back to the Busby bomb that dropped on Tuesday where like I said, this Texas attorney is representing some 120 individuals alleging rape. Many of whom are minors. All right, including a nine year old boy. And after diving into the totality of the information available regarding these cases, which is basically just Busby's press conference at this point, it's clear to me that the separate allegations from Adria English and Ally Carter are very much part of the same pattern of abuse being alleged by Busby's clients. All right, some details alleged by Busby. He had nearly 3,000 people allege abuse by Sean Combs, yet he is only representing 120 of them. Those are claimants that he and his investigators have been able to find corroborating evidence to support their claims. Video, text, audio, physical evidence. Again, like with Adria, English filed police reports and Busby's also claiming he has filed hospital reports. These claims span the last 30 years going back to the 90s all the way to this year, 2024. And there was just recent article, I think it was in the New York Post from this morning. It talks about how defiant Diddy has been even in the face of all the incoming claims over the last few months and continuing to host parties and continuing to host freak offs. Okay, so my point, Busby's claims go back 30 years to the 90s to now 2024. 25 of the 120 victims he's representing are minors. One, like I said, was 9 years old at the time. Another was 14 years old at the time. Another, was 15 years old at the time. And he details in his press conferences a couple of these the specificities around the claims from the 14 and the 15 year old. And they're so upsetting. Okay? They are so upsetting. I can tell from the comments and on Instagram or other comments I read on TikTok that a lot of people want these allegations to be true. They want to see the biggest names possible. I don't share that view. I don't want this to be true because if it is true, it is so horrifying, it is so evil. The human collateral is hard for me to wrap my brain around and I don't want my brain to be mired in it, but it just feels like it's going to be the pattern here of the alleged abuse in the 120 new claims against Diddy. This pattern is very similar with these 120 new claimants and the alleged victims I mentioned earlier, they're very similar. Combs offers some sort of professional carrot. Allegedly. Right, I'm gonna make you a star. Or whatever lures the victim in, allegedly drugs them. This is now we knew Drugs were involved to some extent, but we're getting specifics now from Busby. Allegedly drugs them with tranq, which is a horse tranquilizer. And again, there are supposed hospital records backing these allegations up. And then once these women and men are properly tranquilized, they are raped, sometimes gang raped.

Jake (Disgraceland Host)
Think of that. Think of how horrible that is. And you might say this Busby guy, this attorney, is an ambulance chaser, but is not quite. I looked into this dude, and, you know, if you're gonna call him an ambulance chaser, I guess you could. You could make the claim that he's like the gold standard of ambulance chasers. But I wouldn't even say that this guy is the real deal. Like I said, he was the one who brought the lawsuit in the AstroWorld case that we were just discussing. He is the real deal. He's a real trial attorney. Again, this isn't a class action suit. His firm, in partnership with another firm, is trying these cases individually. That is forgoing a massive and arguably easier to obtain settlement to try these cases individually, which I'm no lawyer, but I'm assuming is a lot harder to do than just bulking them all into a class action suit and going at it that way. The other thing that's happening here is Busbee is offering to completely collaborate with the Feds. This is something I'm gonna figure out for you guys in the next seven days what this means when a civil case like this is brought after a federal indictment and how we can read the tea leaves here in sort of the bureaucratic approach to figure out how credible exactly are these cases. Okay? And I think the way that Busbee works or does not work with the federal government has something to do with this. And that's what my gut tells me. I'm gonna chase this down again. This just happened. I learned about it all this morning. I have a call in to a lawyer friend of mine. I'm gonna discuss it with her, hopefully this evening, and I'll do some more research this week, and I'll get back to you guys. Busby's charges, though, go way beyond what federal investigators are indicting Combs on. Busby's offering to work Feds, like I said, which tells me that he is confident in what he has and that his evidence is so strong that he can't get boxed out by the feds and lose his. His big payday. Okay, that's sort of what my. My gut instinct tells me here, but I'm gonna chase that down. I'm gonna Figure out if that's accurate. It might not be, but that's sort of just, you know, my assumption here. I watched Busby's press conference. He comes off as legitimately empathetic to the victims. Okay? He has victims advocates there as part of the press conference. I know that Busby is a lawyer, so I'm grading on a curve here, but this still matters. And now I haven't even got to the most explosive part about this development, and that is this bombshell that Busby claims that, like I've been saying for weeks, that Sean Combs abuse was the biggest open secret in the entertainment business. And that, quote, many powerful people will be exposed. He goes on to say, the names will shock you. Many powerful people will be exposed. Busby's claiming as he pulls together his evidence for trial. And he says, these names are going to start to come to light over the next 30 days. Wow. Mic drop. I got to admit to this point, I thought that we would get names. Yes, I said that last week. I thought that we would get video. I said that as well. But I thought what we were gonna get were names and video were this type of behavior. And admittedly, I did not think it was going to be as bad as it has become alleged in the last seven days, where we get these names and these videos of entertainers, where this type of behavior was baked into the cake, okay, for the people who were about to be exposed, right? Rock stars, hip hop stars acting like hip hop stars, okay? This now seems way more explosive to me. And again, I wouldn't be talking about it if I didn't think it was credible. And if it's not credible, if Busby, if this turns out to be a total fugazi, some complete fraud, I will come on and I will eat fucking crow. All right, you know me, guys. You know me. But I'm telling you, this seems more legitimate even than Jaguar Wright. And honestly, it's making me question Jaguar Wright. I can't believe I'm saying that publicly, but I am. It's making me question my questioning of Jaguar. Right? Is what I'm saying. Again, this seems more explosive. Now, I was. I was also of the mind when we spoke last week that the feds would try to control the collateral damage here, not let any. Any friends, political donors, et cetera, not let them be exposed. Right? There'd be a couple sacrificial lambs, right? They gotta throw some people into the fire here, but for the most part, you know, limit the damage. Damage control. I feel like that's part of the Fed's M.O. all right, just. That's based on my reading of history. The way the FBI has operated in the past, the way the government has operated, the way the CIA has operated. They look after their own. And maybe they still will. But this Busby guy does not seem controllable by any of the levers that the Feds would likely pull. And again, back to my gut, the reason I say that is he's being very transparent. Now, I thought the Diddy might go down. I thought the Diddy might quite possibly get Epstein right. You know, maybe a couple Cuba Gooding juniors end up in embarrassing TMZ videos, and we'd likely never get the full scope. That's where I thought this was going. I thought that rape and child abuse was off the table, that this was a skeevy guy doing skeevy things to other skeevy adults. And, yes, even to some victims. But victims of age? I'm not so sure. I think that anymore. I think the Sean Combs case could very well be Jeffrey Epstein meets Bill Cosby meets Harvey Weinstein combined. I guess I'd be surprised at this point if we were to get a credible murder allegation in the coming weeks, because then we'd have to add Aaron Hernandez's name to that list of names that I just rolled out to you, Right? I'm not going there yet. I'm not going full Jaguar, right? Not even close to it. Okay. Kim Porter, our ip, Becky with the good hair as well. The only reason this, right now, in this moment, right now, as I record this, which is Wednesday afternoon, you're gonna get it on Thursday. The only reason that this doesn't seem as big as it is right now, in this moment, is because, guys, we are tapped the fuck out with the amount of things going on in the world right now that we could possibly give a shit about. There's a presidential election, a war in the Middle East. The Major League Baseball playoffs just started. The Mets are in the playoffs. There's a giant port strike, devastating natural disasters that are impacting huge amounts of people in the American South. The amount of information that we are getting is relentless. It's a torrent. But strap it on, because it's going to get wilder. I think. At least that's what I think this week, which I guess in a way contradicts what I said last week. So who knows where we'll be seven days from now, but maybe we will be discussing disgraced artists that we love who have come to light as part of this Combs mess, who might they be? Who will we be most upset to learn about? That was part of this darkness? For me, it's Jay Z. As an artist, I love Jay Z, okay? You can hear it in the episode I did on him. But man, the allegations here are tough. TikTok is a light with the Jay Z and Diddy stuff. And as I was thinking of this this morning, I thought, you know, in light of all the Jay Z allegations, you know, your Jaguar rights, your security guards, right, you're whomever you can think of who's on TikTok talking about this. In light of all this nasty, nasty conjecture and the rumors alleging sexual abuse and even murder, you know what nobody, not one person has said about Jay Z since this Diddy stuff broke? Not one person, nobody has come out and said, you know what? Jay Z loves his wife. Jay Z is a family man. Jay Z loves Beyonce, and Beyonce actually loves Jay Z. He would never do these things that are being alleged. Sure, he went to parties at Diddy's, but he left around midnight. Nothing good happens after midnight. Every family man knows that. So Jay Z wasn't there. I can't see him being there. Nobody has said anything. Fucking close. And that is telling. More on Sean Combs coming. I'm not sure how, but it's coming. We've got an episode on Brandon Lee coming as well next week as part of our October Halloween programming. Okay, Brandon Lee, who died while making the Crow. All right, when you're listening, I want you to be thinking about that Billy Joel lyric. All right? I'm not a big Billy Joel guy, but this is relevant to what we're talking about with Diddy as well. Diddy's a 54 year old man, I believe. What did Billy Joel say? Only the good die young. All right, let me know. Relevant to Brandon Lee, which artists, actors, musicians, writers, athletes died too young, created a hole that just has not been filled. Who are they for you? All right, I want to know. 617-906-6638. That's going to be the question of the week for next week as you listen to the Brandon Lee episode. I'm going to take a quick break right now. I'll be back in a flash with your voicemails, texts, DMS and more.

So you guys are thinking about Tom DeLonge from Blink 182? I know I am as well. But you're thinking, hey, Tom DeLonge was a CIA PSYOP. What? Some of you are thinking Tom DeLonge is just deranged. And some of you, perhaps like me, are thinking he's a national treasure. Either way, please continue to get your questions into me about Tom DeLonge from Blink 182 and his foray into the study of UFOs and involvement in government conspiracy at the highest levels, I might add. You can hit me up 617-906-6638 with any questions you might have. Any comments, leave a voicemail or send me a text. I'm going to bank these questions and these comments and I'm going to answer them and address them live in the chat with you on October 9th during my special live stream for Moment Live. Tickets can be copped at Moment Co Disgraceland and I urge you to grab those now and grab your special Disgraceland Extra Turdisco merchandise. I don't know. I just made that up. We got that there for you as well on the site. Moment co Disgraceland. Again, this live stream is going to be a little different, guys. It's not a one way street. It's not me just yelling into a microphone, all right? I mean, it's that, of course, but it's also me on screen with you while I'm telling you a story, engaging with you in the chat and answering your questions. How am I gonna do all that at once? Do I have octopus arms? No, I don't. But I have a great staff and we're working on something we're putting together. Hopefully it's gonna be awesome. Imagine a full episode of Disgrace then, if you will. Okay? But with images, with video, almost a little documentary. Okay. But again, I'm there. I'm right there with you in the chat, answering the questions for you. All right? Anything that comes up. So hit 617-906-6-6, 6, 3 8. I want you guys to be a part of this event with me. Moment co Disgraceland. To get your tickets. Speaking of calls and texts, let's check out this voicemail from the 5, 4.

Listener Caller
Oh, Jake, I don't know where to begin. Well, I guess I'll start at the beginning. This Travis Scott episode was. It was one of the most different. I've never had to stop listening to an episode in the middle, but in this one, I did about three times. Like, I'm terribly claustrophobic, so the vivid imagery you were weaving had me anxiety ridden. But I had to finish listening to it because of the anger and just sheer rage of it all. But the sad part is I think it all boils down to greed and narcissism. I think that's all it is, and it's really, really, really disgraceful. But anyway, that was one of. One of the best episodes. And I don't even give two poops about Travis Scott, but, dude, bravo, that was amazing.
- [34:51]
Jake (Disgraceland Host)
Deuces, sorry to give you anxiety. 5, 4, 0. But I am glad that the episode resonated with you. And I agree 100% on the greed and the narcissism bit for sure. 617-906-6, 6, 3, 8. Hit me up, guys. Any voicemails, any texts, whatever you got. I want to do this. I want to read this text from one of my favorite listeners, Lainey, who you might have. We've chatted before here in the afterparty. And of course, we've chatted on Patreon and Elsewhere, Laney texted in, though. Hey, Jake, Lainey here. I want to share on other things, but I have no power from Friday morning at 6am until late Sunday night and no cell service until yesterday. My family and I were lucky. A lot of people still without. It's bad. The destruction and damage is horrible. My husband's brother in law had an extra generator and we were able to plug our fridge up to it. I've never witnessed so much hate and frustration, yet community and togetherness at the same time. The first few pics here are from my street and neighborhood. The next few are just a few from the small town where we live in Fountain Inn. It literally pulled trees up from the roots. Please continue to pray. Some places, some towns in North Carolina were completely wiped out. And Lany's pictures here, they tell a very scary story. I'm sure you guys have seen some of these images online and on the news, though I don't think the news is covering this enough. The destruction that we're seeing in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, parts of Florida, of course, it's bad. It's really, really, really bad. And you know, it's hitting Disgraceland listeners like it's hitting other people in the world as well. And Lainey, I just want you to know that we're thinking of you. I'm thinking of you. I'm praying for you. I hope your family is doing as good as they can in this situation. Lainey, I have a friend. We have. We have one of my wife's best friends and her family are down there as well. And it's bad. They got out, but a lot of their friends did not. And there's a lot of destruction. And I know firsthand we're getting the texts and it's, you know, guys, these are our. These aren't just Disgraceland listeners. They're our fellow Americans. And it's bad. It's bad. And the one thing I wanted to hit on here in particular was this piece from Laney's text where, you know, you can't see these pictures, but she's in the middle of the destruction and, you know, she's. She's talking about the community and the togetherness that she's feeling and seeing at the same time. And I think that's really special. I think that speaks to the character not only of Lainey, but of Disgraceland listeners as well, obviously, but also just our fellow Americans. I think that's a special thing. And when there's light, we should run toward it. So I wanted to give you that if you want to support anybody who's been affected negatively by these storms, and that's going through it right now, couple organizations, samaritanspurse.org, hit them up, make a donation redcross.org as well. All right, let's do some more texts here. Seven, eight, one writes in. That's right, LeBron. Okay. I wanted to go dark there myself for a minute. 978 writes in. Hey, Jake, I listen to Disgraceland at two times speed, or sometimes one and a half speed. Am I alone? So when I hear you at normal speed, it's almost weird. I feel like your career has yet to take off. I mean, like it's going to take off and you're headed to Peter Thomas or Keith Morrison Strata and they're gonna take you from us. Everything I've loved has gotten co opted by corporations and money fuckery. Most evil of evil, the murder of John Lennon. Lot to unpack in that very short text from the 9, 7, 8. Yeah, I don't know. Am I gonna take off? We'll see. I think the verdict's out. I don't know who Peter Thomas is. Keith Morrison. I know as the stepdad of Matthew Perry, one of our most recent subjects from Disgraceland. And most evil of evil, the murder of John Lennon. That's up there for sure. But I think this Diddy stuff might be the darkest that we've encountered so far. 617-906-6638. You want to send me a voicemail? You want to send me a text? You can DM me at Disgraceland. Pod. I gotta read this Facebook message I got because it's hysterical. Hang on, guys. Where is it? Where is it, where is it? Here it is. It comes from Steven Stauffer, who writes, God, you made a giant ass of yourself on that Prince piece. You couldn't possibly have shown more clearly how little you know about guitar and about Prince. I'm blocking you because I'm worried that your idiocy is so immense that it is contagious. That's how big of an idiot you are. I'm probably going to lose IQ points from having watched you posture and preen. I mean, well, Stephen, you know, you guys should know. I responded to Stephen positively, of course. I thanked him for his very well thought out message and the care he took in time to write me to tell me how upset he was with me. But it didn't get through because he did indeed block me, which I think is hysterical. I know a lot about guitar, Steven. All right, And I know a lot about Prince as well. I know more than your average bear about Prince. You want to know why, Stephen? If you're listening, I bet you're still listening. Stephen, you blocked me, but I bet you're still, still fucking listening, you little dirty fuck, aren't you? Listen, Stephen, my barber, Andrew, okay, Seaport Barbers in Boston, go check him out. He's the shit. He used to be Prince's bodyguard, okay? One of them. He was on the team. So I know a little bit. I know a little. I know some stuff, okay? As for my idiocy being immense, so immense that it's contagious, well, at least I'm doing something, you know. All right, Steven. Just wanted to, just wanted to shout back at you, let you know again how much I love you and I appreciate you. His GracelandPod. You wanna hit me up, guys? On Facebook, on Instagram, on X, on TikTok. Though I haven't responded to a TikTok message in quite a bit. My relationship with TikTok is this. It's like jumping into a swamp because you're just, you know, you've been, you're out in the wild, you're soaking wet with perspiration. You'll do anything to just get, just, you know, anything to just get, get what you wanna get. And you body of water and you know how bad it is to jump into that water because it's gross, but it is water. And you jump in real quick and then you gotta get out. That's what I do in TikTok. I go in real quick and then I get out and I see that I have messages. If you've messaged me there and I haven't responded, I apologize. Hit me up disgracelandpod on X, on Instagram, on Facebook, disgracelandpodmail.com on the email machine. And I'm going to take a quick break. I'll be back in a flash and I will answer some of those emails.

Jake (Disgraceland Host)
All right, we are back. Disgracelandpod gmail.com Send me an email about anything like this fine listener from I don't know where he she is from. Aaron Schaefer writes in Suggested topic Jarvis Cocker. Excuse me? Aaron is spelled with an E, R I n. So Aaron is a woman, I'm assuming. Message says hello. Could you please do an episode on Jarvis Cocker? He's a very interesting person in general, but your audience might be most intrigued by his storming of the stage at the Brit awards during Michael Jackson's performance in 1996, Cocker was arrested and accused of assaulting a child, which was proven to be false by David Bowie and comedian lawyer Bob Mortimer. Well, I'm in. I'm in on a Jarvis Cocker episode. That's all it took. I love this great suggestion. Did not know that about the child accusation. And of course I love Jarvis Cocker and I love Paul. So yeah, this is. This sounds fun. Hit me up. Like I said at Disgracelandpod on the socials, Disgracelandpodgmail.com on email can hit me up about anything. I think we need to talk about Diddy a little bit more. You guys have questions, hit me up. As I said earlier, I'm gonna address the Ali Carter video with a little more detail in the All Access bonus content that's part of this bonus episode that's coming up soon. I wanted to, of course, like we do every week. Thank you guys for the reviews. And just a little reminder, you guys ask how can I support the show? Well, leave a review on Apple podcasts on Spotify. It's a great way. Those of you whose reviews I've read in the past few weeks, check your emails. I've hit you up. If I missed, you hit me back. But I hit you up and you got some Merch coming your way. All right, a couple of you guys I had questions for, so get back to me. Ryan proper on Spotify writes Jake the Tailspinner takes me through my very early morning drive. He brings these characters to life. Thank you, Jake. And thank you, Team Double Elvis. Rock a rock, Rola. Ryan, you were the man. Hit me up and we will get you some free merch. Okay? For new listeners. Just a heads up, you know, you leave a review and I read it on here, you're gonna get a little free something in the mail coming your way. Ryan also mentions Rocka Rolla. Which reminds me, we do have new merch coming in a couple weeks. I'll have that for you. It's all Halloween themed for our spooky October programming that we are in the midst of right now. Astroworld, of course, was our kickoff into the sort of evil side. We have the Brandon Lee from the Crow episode coming next week. Then we have an episode on the Cramps. We have a new episode coming on the Exorcist and we're going to be filling things in as well. Our rewind episodes are all going to be Halloween themed as well. Black Sabbath, ac, dc, Ozzy Osbourne. So much more. It's going to be a very spooky month for you guys in the Disgraceland feed. And like I said, we have some accompanying new merch to go along with this whole Halloween theme that we're rocking. I'll have more on that next week for you guys. Kiwi Bubs on Apple Podcast writes, beware addicting. I've listened to all the episodes of Disgrace Land and Jake is a fantastic storyteller hands down. I look forward to the drops every week and have yet to be disappointed. Keep up the great work, Jake and Team Rocka Rolla. You got it. Kiwi Bubs, hit us up. Kiwi Bubs, hit us up. Ryan, you heard me. Read your review. Get at me via email. Get at me on the socials. Disgracelandpod disgracelandpodmail.com and I will hit you back, get you some free merch. All right, this episode is nearing its end. The after party continues. As you know, for our All Access members, you might have suspected here, I'm running into a little roadblock. We went really long in that first part of this episode, this bonus episode on Diddy Content. I didn't talk about Astroworld as much as I wanted to. I have not had the opportunity to address the new full episode that we just released on Pete Doherty from the Libertines Baby Shambles. I Haven't even mentioned that. I feel like I got a lot to say, is my point, and I'm going to say some of it right now in the All Access portion of this bonus episode. But if this Diddy thing continues to unwind as voluminously as it seems to be doing with credible accusations and we have something to talk about on a regular basis, I'm going to have to switch things up and I'm going to have to find a way to give that to you guys, because I can't. I can't not talk about it. It's the biggest story in music, in true crime, in the history of music, in true crime. So I don't know how I'm gonna do that. We're making it work right now with a little bit of spit and some glue, and we'll figure it out going forward. In the meantime, if you're not an All Access member, I don't know what to tell you. You gotta become one. Go to Disgracelandpod.com membership to become an All Access member. You're gonna get, like I said said, the additional afterparty bonus content coming your way. You're going to get ad free listening, and you're going to get that full episode per month like the Pete Doherty one that I just talked about. All right, I'll be back in a flash. All right, I. I am back. Before we wrap up, though, go get your tickets to the Disgraceland Live stream event on October 9th. Moment. Co Disgraceland. I'm about to get out of here. Before we do, before next week's episode on Brandon Lee, you're going to get a rewind episode coming your way. When you do, check out that Brandon Lee episode. Like I said before, be thinking of that Billy Joe lyric, only the good die young. Let me know which artists, which actors, which musicians, writers. Athletes died too young left a hole that has not been filled. Who, in your estimation, are those artists? All right. Okay. Okay. In this episode, for the Hip Hop fans, because we talked about Travis Scott, of course, there's an episode in our archive that I was reminded of. I've always loved this episode. I always forget to recommend it. It's the ASAP Rocky episode, episode 45 from November 26, 2019. Check that out. Also, one thing we haven't yet talked about relative to this whole Diddy thing is Eminem's place in all this, and it's very interesting. Eminem is no fan of Diddy, and maybe I'll get into that next week. If there's any relevance to whatever else is popping off. But it just reminded me I love the eminem episode, episode 43. That's November 5, 2019. There's a whole horrorcore sort of side of Eminem as well, from his early days. So this is relevant to the month of October. Check that out. Talked about Prince, of course. That's episode 59 from our archive from June 9, 2020. So get on that if you want a little Prince nostalgia, a little purple nostalgia. All right, thanks for the calls, guys. Thanks for the voicemails. Thanks for the review. I love the engagement, love what we got going on here. Keep it up. I'm going to jump. Before I do, let's recap. Number one right now in your feed, our episode on Travis Scott and his Astroworld Number two coming tomorrow special rewind episode from our archive. And we are talking about Brandon Lee from the Crow next week. Again, which artists were taking from us too young. All right, let us know. Or you know what ladies, you know, second sort of like side side question here. Relevant to Brandon Lee for, for the, for the ladies out there. Hottest goth guys from entertainment history. Who? Who is it? Brandon Lee Danzig, Robert Smith, the typo negative guy. Let me know. Number three Merch winners. Get in touch. You know who you are. Number four get tickets to the Disgraceland live stream on October 9th at Moment Co Disgraceland. Number five. Remember, no one cares about great storytelling more than you do. And, well, that's a disgrace. All right. In honor of the victims from the AstroWorld disaster, me reading to you the Billboard charts from the day the news broke of the cash settlements being awarded to the families of the AstroWorld disaster on May 8, 2024. Number one not like us Kendrick Lamar Last week Not Applicable Peak position 1 Weeks on chart 1 Number 2 Million Dollar Baby Tommy Richmond Last week 2 Peak position 2 Weeks on chart 2 Number 3 Euphoria Kendrick Lamar Last week 11 Peak position 3 Weeks on chart 2 Number 4 Fortnite Taylor Swift Featuring Post Malone Last week 1 Peak position 1 Weeks on chart 3 Number 5 A Bar Song Last week 3 Peak position.
