This is exactly right.
Double Elvis.
When a group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist, they take matters into their own hands.
I vowed. I will be his last target.
He is not going to get away with this.
He's going to get what he deserves.
We always say that trust your girlfriends.
Listen to the girlfriends.
Trust me, babe.
On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
This season on Dear Chelsea with me, Chelsea Handler,
we have some fantastic guests like Amelia Clark.
When like young people come up to me and they want to be an actor or whatever.
My first thing is always, can you think of anything else that you can do?
Rather be disappointed in.
Do that.
David O'Yellowo.

Movies can make you feel, make you dream.
Sometimes they even make you appreciate architecture.
Is there anybody who's been hotter in a doorway
than Elizabeth Taylor?
That's the kind of analysis you'll find every week on Dear Movies I Love You, the new podcast from the Exactly Right Network.
Every Tuesday, we break down the films we're crushing on, from blockbusters to deep cuts.
Listen to Dear Movies I Love You on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
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 disgrace land 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, text, DMs,
and as always, a whole lot of rosy.
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 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 metalheads 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 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 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 years 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, kind of,
all of the kind of the height of the Ozzy Osbourne rumor mill that was spreading around schools
about biting off the heads of animals and all that. 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 up,
Ozzy 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 got to keep
in mind what these metal heads were like. This was the 1983 version of the
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 metal heads, 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 Axel 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 film reference,
just think Kelly Leake 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.
heard the 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 shit.
These guys are real.
And they're right here across the street from my house.
And they're nailing in crosses and they're probably going to 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.
Ozzy Osbourne grew into an entirely different caricature over the course of his life.
He was lovable.
He was not, 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 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 disgrace land,
it never occurred to me until now, until after Ozzy's death in these past few weeks.
Sharon Osborne, 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 going to air,
like that day, there 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 Ozzie 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
cancelled 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 Ozzie being canceled and 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 and disgracing.
We're here to dig things up.
And ideally the truth.
And the truth doesn't necessarily mean scandal.
The truth doesn't necessarily mean rumors.
Sometimes the truth is just boring.
But sometimes it's fucking bad shit.
Now, one of the rumors that's popped up in the wake of Ozzy's death, and I want to get to,
I want to 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 Ozzie.
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 Ozzie's death, but her daughter,
did comment on this supposed pact just prior to Aussie 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 Osborne in finally at the end?
Zeth and I are going to go down the rabbit hole on this story
and into Sharon Osborne's ruthless past as a music man.
manager, a past with allegations that she stole Ozzie'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 is an allegation. This is confirmed how she sabotaged Iron
Maiden on stage for once fucking with her husband, with messing with Ozzy. You can hear
Zet and I in this rabbit hole in the exclusive section of this here after-party bonus episode.
but 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 going to get to the truth.
the exclusive section here of the after party, what I'm now calling the exclusive rabbit hole
where Zeth and I are going to dive in. I think we're going to do this every week. We're going to
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.

So do not sit this one out. I'll be back in a flash right after this with your voicemails, your texts,
your DMs, and more. There's two golden rules that any man should live by.
Rule one, never mess with a country girl.
You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes.
And rule two, never mess with her friends either.
We always say that trust your girlfriends.
I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends,
Oh my God, this is the same man.
A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist.
I felt like I got hit by a truck.
I thought, how could this happen to me?
The cops didn't seem to care.
So they take matters into their own hands.
I said, oh, hell no.
I vowed.
I will be his last target.
He's going to get what he deserves.
Listen to the girlfriends.
Trust me, babe.
On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Your husband is not who you think he is.
Your body is not what you thought it was.
Your identity is formed by a secret history.
I'm Danny Shapiro.
And these are just a few of the stunning stories
I'll be exploring the 14th season of family secrets.
And just then, we felt the plain turn in the air,
so much so that the bags that were under people's seats
just kind of flew into the aisle.
Each week, we dive head first into the complex power of secrecy,
how it shapes our identities and relationships,
and how it ultimately can reveal to us our truest selves.
My daughter, she's pretending she doesn't know,
but is trying to cook and feed me and keep me alive
because I wasn't eating anything, and me pretending like everything was fine.
He kind of showed me out of the way and said, move.
And he went out the front door and he jumped in a car and drove off.
And that was the last time I saw him.
Listen to season 14 of Family Secrets, starting May 7th on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
This season on Dear Chelsea, with me, Chelsea Handler,
we have some fantastic guests like Amelia Clark.
When, like, young people come up to me,
and they want to be an actor or whatever.
My first thing is always,
can you think of anything else that you can do?
Rather be disappointed in.
Do that.
Dennis Leary.
I wake up and I'm hitting him in the head with a water bomb.
And Bruce Jenner is on the aisle in a karate stance
like he's about to attack me.
Like making karate noises.
And his entire, the Kardashian family over there,
everybody's going, and the air marshal is trying to grab my arms and screaming.
I immediately know that I've been at sleepwalk.
David O'Yellow.
I love this podcast, whether it's therapy or relationships or religion or sex or addiction or you just go straight for the guts.
Guy Branham.
So anyway, Nicole Kidman broke up with Keith Thurban.
Being half of a country couple was always a hat she was going to wear, not like a life she was going to lead.
Oh, interesting.
I like that.
Did you practice that on your way over?
Gaten Moderato from Stranger Things.
Tiana Monjou.
Camilla Marone,
Carrie Kenny Silver, and more.
Listen to these episodes of Dear Chelsea
on the IHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, we are back, guys.
This week in disgrace,
a 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.
617-9066638.
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 Gay, you know, obviously, if we want to go a literal route, right there for you.
But I know there are others, and I know you know about them.
So call me up, 617-90666.6.6.3.
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 ask this, obviously, 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 217. Hey, Jay, 217. Doing some work here.
Listen to your podcast. Going to 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've ever seen
line was ACDC on their back-and-black tour.
I believe it was 1981.
Might have been 1980.
Their backup band was Blackfoot,
this incredible concert.
I was 14th time.
Talked my mother had taken me.
And right now I'm up to an episode where you are saying
that one of your first albums that you got was ACDC
and you went to see Back in Black or get the album Back in Black
and you end up getting, I think it was,
let her be rock. Anyway, you can't go wrong with any Bond 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. All right, seeing ACDC-217 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 D.C.
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 what we're going to do for our Patreon listeners,
we're going to be rolling out some new tiers for you in the very near future,
that it's going to have a lot more content for you to access.
And in one of those tiers, we're going to 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 Melotron Loop, anything related to what inspired that week's subject.
So what inspired Lemmy or, you know, were there other artists who went off and did solo?
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 it sounds like we're making the right move because it sounds like 217, 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.
Hey, Jake.
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.
Their replacements, motorhead,
all your missing towns areans.
I hope that's coming down the pike.
point, even the cramps.
I love what you do, man.
The Motorhead episode, I was just going to say my favorite story about Lemmy in general.
He was the walking tall, rock and roll fucking 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 bathroom, if I remember the story right.
and I think you finally
mushered up the boss
going to say hi to him and he
walked up
to him and the first thing when he said
to him was I'm sorry about your friend
talking about Kirk Cobain of course
which is just the most beautiful
fucking thing in the world
you know like the guy
had a heart and like that
that just shows it you know
it you know never
never met the guy before
and they're both fellow
whatever famous musicians, but
you know, just the amount of respect
there for Caracoban is just
absolutely beautiful.
So, I just want to
throw that in there. Thanks for everything you do, man.
Also, I'll fucking love
that replacements episode. They're
my favorite band of all time, literally
next to Motorhead. So
thank you for everything, man. Rocker rolling.
Eli, thank you for the kind of words.
Appreciate you, man. Glad you liked the
Motorhead and Replacements episodes. We do
have a Towns Van Zan
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 of already giving
enough information on how to do that. Listen, Dave Grohl, the way let me treated him there,
just perfect. Just fucking perfect. Class act, you're absolutely right. Matt, give the 9-16 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 Toll at the Holt Center in Eugene, Oregon.
And when they played locomotive breath, I rushed the stage, and Ian Anderson pointed at me, gave me a knowing not.
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 eight-year-old's first concert when he was five was my chemical romance, but really
we were there to see the opening band Turnstile, which is.
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 Rodriguez.
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 somewhere else, and I'm definitely going to be listening.
Love it, brother, rocker roll.
916, 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 in a live
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 god 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 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, 9-16.
I get what you're talking about.
And good luck with your kids.
Sounds like you're doing the right thing.
I love the turnstiles.
story. You know I'm a fan. I think for your four-year-old, I think you just get a, 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 in 911, 916. All right, let's do some text. 617-906-66-38. Guys, voicemail on 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 shit.
Let's talk about some good stuff, some PMA, all right?
In the meantime, let's check out this text
from the 615.
Hey, I not only lived in Nashville, but I lived in Clinton,
mass.
I ran a store and rent them.
I 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 the 615.
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 Kiefer 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.
425, Texan.
Hey, Jake, it's Jules from the 425.
My first concert in the early 70s was Alice Cooper, and Susie Quattro 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 rockerola.
Love the show.
Damn, set you on your way right.
Alice Cooper and Susie Quattro.
You got to be kidding me.
Pretty incredible.
856.
Hey, Mark from the 856, first show was Arrowsmith 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 Alice and Chains opening.
What a lineup.
Alice and Chains, Slayer, Megadeth, and Nth,
and anthrax.
Blazing from opener to Slayer closing is what the 856 says.
I've seen Slayer and Allison Chains.
I see Allison 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.
617-90666-36338.
You guys want to get out of us about anything related to disgrace land.
Hit us up via voicemail and text.
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 out of 617-906-66-66-3-8.
I'm going to take a quick break.
I'll be back in a flash.
There's two golden rules that any man should live by.
Rule one, never mess with a country girl.
You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes.
And rule two, never mess with her friends either.
We always say that trust your girlfriends.
I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of The Girlfriends,
Oh my God, this is the same man.
A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist.
I felt like I got hit by a truck.
I thought, how could this happen to me?
The cops didn't seem to care.
So they take matters into their own hands.
I said, oh, hell no.
I vowed. I will be his last target.
He's going to get what he deserves.
Listen to the Girlfriends.
Trust me, babe.
on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Your husband is not who you think he is.
Your body is not what you thought it was.
Your identity is formed by a secret history.
I'm Danny Shapiro.
And these are just a few of the stunning stories I'll be exploring on the 14th season of Family Secrets.
And just then, we felt the plain turn in the air.
So much so that the bags that were under people's seats just kind of flew into the eye.
Each week, we dive head first into the complex power of secrecy, how it shapes our identities and relationships, and how it ultimately can reveal to us our truest selves.
My daughter, she's pretending she doesn't know, but is trying to cook and feed me and keep me alive because I wasn't eating anything, and me pretending like everything was fine.
He kind of shoved me out of the way and said, move, and he went out the front door and he jumped in a car and drove off, and that was the last time I saw him.
Listen to season 14 of Family Secrets starting May 7th on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
This season on Dear Chelsea, with me, Chelsea Handler, we have some fantastic guests like Amelia Clark.
When like young people come up to me and they want to be an actor or whatever, my first thing is always, can you think of anything else that you can do?
Rather be disappointed in.
Do that.
Dennis Leary.
I wake up and I'm hitting him in the head with a water bomb.
And Bruce Jenner is on the aisle in a karate stance like he's about to attack me.
Like, making karate noises.
And his entire the Kardashian family over there, everybody's going,
and the air marshal is trying to grab my arms and screaming.
I immediately know that I've been asleep walking.
David O'Yellowo.
I love this podcast, whether it's therapy or relationships or religion or sex or addiction or,
or you just go straight for the guts.
Guy Branham.
So anyway, Nicole Kimman broke up with Keith Thurban.
Being half of a country couple was always a hat she was going to wear,
not like a life she was going to lead.
Oh, interesting.
I like that.
Did you practice that on your way over?
Gaten Matarazzo from Stranger Things.
Tena, Monjou, Camilla Morone,
Carrie Kenny Silver, and more.
Listen to these episodes of Dear Chelsea on the I-Heart Radio app,
podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.
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 going to call him Mo Rocca in this episode of the after party,
despite having said it numerous times in the Hollywood Land 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 like this one in the Hollywoodland feed.
In addition to the full episode, we do a bonus episode with Zeth and I.
Zeth really takes to helm on the rap party. Matt, give him a little clip.
Jake, what music wrecks inspired by Alex Rocco are you bringing today?
I got to admit, I completely fucked up, and I did Mo Rocco recommendations.
I knew you're going to.
I was wondering why this was so hard.
Alex Raqa.
Alex Raqa.
Okay.
Oh.
Oh, Rocco.
Rocko?
Yeah.
Fuck, that's right.
That's right.
Mo Rocca.
Oh, I can't I do this right?
I did.
Okay, so I screwed up already.
I literally did Alex Rocka, even though it's Alex Rocco.
Got me to Alex Rocka.
Rocca Rolla.
Okay.
Rocka Rola.
All right.
The sign off from Disgraceland.
One of the 100th
greatest podcast of all time i just found out uh we'll talk more about that in disgrace
land um rockerola 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 rockerola from their debut album
1974's rockerola 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 Rola, which I highly, highly recommend as a song.
It's great. It's Jewish Priest. It's got harmonica. It's so fucking good.
And anyways, it's a big part of...
All the best pre-s 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, that is Hollywoodland.

We're coming at you twice a week over in that feed as well as right here in disgrace land.
Now, listen, it is time for the 60 seconds sports rant and 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 Five Hour Energy in their new confetti-craze flavor.
Tastes like birthday cake with a vanilla and buttery flavor to let you be unapologetically extra
and unstoppably energized.
Head to your local retailer, www.5hourenergy.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, 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 be.
or do something stupid like implement a time-saving ghost runner band 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 why I'm not confident? I'm going to tell you why, because the Red Sox lack
killers. Now, as I'm 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 debt. I'm not going to do it, but I do. I go back to the trade deadline.
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?
If they don't have it now, they're not going to have it in the championship.
These last few games against the Baltimore-friken Orioles have proven to me that this is,
is what is most needed out of this squad.
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 know that they can do it
without augmenting the team in some way.
Or someone, one of 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.
I 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 got to, maybe I don't have killer instinct.
Maybe I should take some of my own medicine here.
Maybe I should go back to the drawing board.
I should go, I should get, go back to the research.
What are the, the analytics?
Try to figure this out.
Try to land this plane in under 30 seconds.
That was the sports rant sponsored by Five Hour Energy's new confetti craze flavor.
Unleash your party vives with as much caffeine as your favorite 12 ounce fancy coffee,
but with zero sugar and zero crash available in stores on Amazon or at www.5hourenergy.com.
All right.
Speaking of killer instincts, as a music manager, Sharon Osborne certainly had that quality.
And so did her father, Don Arden.
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 going to join me now, I think.
We're just going to, I want to figure out this Elliott Smith thing we did last week and
Al Jackson Jr.
You know, oftentimes Zet 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.
you can chime in whether you think there's enough here on an episode or not.
And we're going to 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 that's cool, we'll keep doing it.
Maybe we'll do it next week and we'll just do it on and on and on.
All right.

And well, that is a disgrace.
All right.
