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 Disgraceland to the other, the backyard to dig into the dirt. On this bonus episode, we are talking about this week's part two full episode on Marilyn Monroe. The sources that we used for this Marilyn Monroe episode, which helped us uncover some wild stuff, as always. Information in this round of research on Marilyn Monroe and the FBI that didn't make it into the episode. We're going to get into that right here. We're also discussing how we are going to deal with the Sean Diddy Combs allegations.

We have an update about the Disgraceland Book Club that is coming your way. This kind of just popped up this week. And I might get into a little Celtics talk. It's that time of the year, all right? Of course, your voicemails, your texts, and more, as always, and a whole lot of rosy. All right, discos, let's get. Cannibalism, kidnapping, murder. These are the three crimes by three different artists that I covered at the end of season two of Disgraceland.

Respectively, the artists were Big Lurch, Rick James, and Spade Cooley, who committed those crimes. I wrote and produced all three of those episodes straight in a row. And during a truncated period of time. So what that means is that for about six weeks straight, I had my head into some pretty dark waters. The other element relative to these specific three subjects is that all the crimes, the cannibalism, the kidnapping, the murder, throw in torture and horrifically violent physical abuse and mental abuse, all these crimes were perpetrated against women. It was women who were the victims at the hands of these abusive men. And again, I'm talking about Big Lurch, Rick James, and Spade Cooley, all of them musicians. After these episodes were produced, I went into a deep funk once we shipped these episodes off.

And again, this was season two of disgracement. So this was back in the day. It was early days for me being in this game. I was relatively new and still, you know, this is. subject matter, dealing with it all was a new experience for me. I should say dealing with it all at such a high volume was a new experience for me. So after these three episodes, like I said, I was in a funk, I took some time off, I don't know what I did, I went and hung out with some puppies, looked at some rainbows, I don't know what I did, but I needed a change of focus after making

these episodes. And I don't know what I did, like I said, but I did something and eventually the fog of darkness lifted. And then I threw myself. back into researching similar subject matter, with the only real adjustment being that I vowed to kind of spread out the really true dark stuff, the dark research, I should say. But that's near impossible to do.

I mean, some stories are darker than others. Some stories, a lot of stories, I should say, have redemption. And we sort of like adjusted our approach so that we landed on those stories of redemption in these disgrace land episodes whenever we can, whenever possible. But the one thing I pledged to do regarding choosing the subjects I was going to

cover the subjects I was going to research, subjects I was going to write about, subjects I was going to produce podcasts about, was that I pledged to myself that I wouldn't cover subjects involving the abuse of children because, like most people, I just don't want to deal with that level of darkness. But I'm about to break that rule because I cannot ignore the stories surrounding. the Sean Diddy Combs allegations. These stories don't just involve, of course, the alleged abuse of children. They also involve women.

They also involve grown men. But the darkness here is deeper and darker and more depraved than anything that I have ever researched. And that is, of course, saying something. For those new to disgrace land, usually I don't wade into the waters of current affairs

concerning entertainers and their true crimes. as they're being litigated. But this story is too explosive not to. So ever since the day that the Cassie video was released, this was last week, and for those who don't know, that's the video of Sean Combs, viciously beating on his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura

in a hotel hallway. This was the videos from back in 2016, and it demonstrates the exact behavior alleged in the lawsuit that Cassie Ventura filed against Diddy, the exact type of behavior that Diddy denied before settling that lawsuit for 30. $30 million. This video, impossible to ignore, obviously, impossible to ignore the ramifications of this video on Diddy. This is, again, the exact type of behavior that Diddy denied before

settling the lawsuit for 30 mil. And it got me thinking about what else Diddy has been accused of and what else he has denied and what kind of monster he may or may not actually be. So I started digging into the five lawsuits that have been filed against Diddy since the Cassie suit was settled back at the end of 2003. And by digging in, I mean, into the actual paperwork and looking at what has been legally claimed against Sean Combs and what evidence is presented in these lawsuits. In other words, the real stuff, the real accusations, not. Not rumors, not internet rumors. And these crimes that are alleged against the so-called bad boy for life, they involve, of course, sexual abuse, sex trafficking, criminal racketeering, gang rape, drug, and firearm distribution, and more.

Now, here's the thing. This is America. Anybody can sue anybody. You can claim anything about somebody else and bring them to court, which is, you. really fucked up, if you want my opinion. So when these, after the Cassie lawsuit was settled and these subsequent lawsuits were filed, you know, I was interested, but I wasn't that interested. And part of me thought, well, maybe who knows what the hell is in these, actually?

You know, I didn't doubt that they weren't true on some level. That's my personal opinion. I have no proof to back that up myself, so don't get it twisted. But there have been rumors about Diddy for years. much earlier than this Cassie stuff that's come out in the last, at least come out into the mainstream in the last eight months or so. I had heard stuff, me, okay, like secondhand, like, you know, at the barbershop or whatever. So if I'm hearing it, if it's filtering all the way down to me, imagine, you know, what's actually true.

And by the way, this is a pattern that I've experienced before. You know, I'm sure a lot of you out there had heard, like I had, had heard the Harvey Wine seen stuff before it actually broke. Heard rumors of it, heard people talking about it, people joking about it. Same goes for Cosby. All this stuff was in the ether. It was out there. Same goes for Diddy. So when all this stuff broke, I wasn't like, you know, clutching my pearls or anything. But at the same time, I didn't think that everything that was accused of him, everything that has been accused of him, I should say, is actually true. And I'm not saying that everything is. All I'm saying is that in the last week, I dove into the actual criminal paperwork that was filed against Diddy, and I looked at the actual evidence that is being presented.

And I looked at the vividly specific allegations, some of which have correlating photographic evidence, screenshots as proof of video evidence being held by prosecutors that will presumably come out in whatever court case or whatever indictment is to come. the allegations in each lawsuit give details that align with each other as well, okay? And they seem to support these specific patterns of abuse. So you can see why some of us, myself now included, think that this is a wildly compelling story. All right? Now, again, all of this is alleged. Nothing has been proven. Diddy has denied everything except for the video of him beating Cassie, which he issued a hollow apology for.

but there's a lot of smoke, right? But you know that. My larger point, however, is that there's no denying how incredibly dark and depraved this whole subject is. Then there is the TikTok of it all. The allegations that are in the criminal complaints are one thing. On TikTok, the hearsay, the conjecture, the rumors from ex-employees of Diddy, from bodyguards, personal assistants, ex-lovers, ex-friends, enemies.

This is a whole other level of darkness. This is Joseph Conrad, Colonel Kurtz, O.J. Simpson, Aaron Hernandez, Jeffrey Epstein type of darkness. And it's hard to handle. It's hard to take in. It's hard to absorb, if I'm being honest. But I'm in it, and this story isn't going away, and I'm going to do my best to stay in it and stay sane, and to try and find a way to contextualize the history of Diddy, as well as the facts surrounding these current allegations for you guys. That's what I'm going to try to do. I'm going to try to attempt to provide some sort of roadmap through my style of storytelling of how we got here and where we're going and to bring you new information as it unfolds in real time.

And again, to do so with the type of storytelling that you've become familiar with here in disgrace land. All right, at first I'm going to be doing this with video content through short form video on Instagram. But eventually, as this story unfolds, I'm going to likely roll it out into some sort of audio coverage in podcast form, whether that's in a new feed or whether that's part of disgrace land or here in the after-party bonus episodes, I'm not yet sure. But there is so much here and so much to unpack and so many massive names from the world of entertainment who are all connected. So the question then for me personally becomes what to do about staying sane while waiting

through these incredibly dark waters. And this question goes to you guys as well if you're going to come along on this ride with me. All right? I haven't quite figured out how to answer this question, but I'm working on it. There's goodness in this world. We may be in an ongoing battle of good versus evil, and I truly believe that we are, but there is far more good, far more light than darkness, and it's everywhere. It surrounds us. No matter what situation we are in, it is there. Trust me, you just have to look. Literally, as I'm thinking about this, as I'm writing down my notes to go head into the recording booth and lay this out for you, my six-year-old son Willem just walked into my bedroom with a

massive smile on his face. That's all the light in the world that I need. Right there. It's cheesy, but it's fucking true, man. He walked in to say good morning and to hand me a copy of Paul Shear's new book, which came in the mail yesterday. Willem must have grabbed it from the Amazon box that it came in that was near the front door and wanted to do something nice for his dad.

Again, the smile, massive. And the title of the book, it's a sign of light. It's a sign of the goodness delivered in real time with Jerry Garcia-like synchronicity. The book is called Joyful Recollections of Trauma, okay? I haven't read it yet, of course. I've owned it for all of about four minutes. This title is a great one, and it seems like Paul Shear has found a way to deal with the darkness. I'm going to find a way to deal with the darkness as well.

More soon, I'll be back after this. All right, before we get into sources here, Before we get into the rest of the episode, I want to talk to you guys about something that we're just all of a sudden doing. This wasn't planned at all. Came up in the Patreon chat that I've been telling you guys about if you're not on Patreon.

Sign up. If you are, you're going to know what I'm talking about. You guys who know me well, who are in the chat, you know I've been reading a ton out for pleasure, not for research. And I've been reading a lot of these thrillers, these mystery thrillers, and I've just been burning through these books.

A lot of them are crime-based. obviously I just finished the silent patient the talented mr. Ripley I read the week before that before the week before that I read Dark Places by Jillian Flynn and right now I'm reading Tell No One by Harlan Coben but for fans of of crime fiction thriller fiction mystery fiction you'll know these titles anyways I've been talking about them in the Patreon chat and some of you have been reading them as well and a couple of you had the idea to do this book club. And that's now happening.

So we are, I guess we have a book club. I'll send out some more information for you guys in the next few days, just through email, Instagram, everywhere. But basically, we're going to get together. I don't know how often. I think the first time we're getting together is going to be in a couple weeks, June 3rd, at 8.30 Eastern Standard Time to discuss over Zoom or Google Meetup or whatever it's called. video basically. I'll be on there, obviously, and we'll be discussing the talented Mr. Ripley.

That's going to be the first book in the book club. We don't have a name for the book club. We don't have any structure. Basically, we're just getting together and talking, and we'll figure out what this is all going to be shortly. But the point is, if you want to join, go for it. All right? I'm excited. I don't want to come up with a lot of structure for this. If someone else does, that's fine. I just want to talk books that I'm reading with you guys. So, again, the first one's going to be June 3rd, 830 Eastern Standard Time, and the book is going to be the talented Mr. Ripley. So if you all want to join in, read that book and be on the lookout for more information and then just hop in the video with us and, you know, we'll be talking. All right, more to come on

this. But I'm pumped. I'm very excited. And thanks to the discos and the Patreon chat, who kicked this off and got this thing going. Much appreciation. All right. So we did a lot of reading as well, obviously, for the Marilyn Monroe episodes. And I want to talk a little bit about the sources. Last week, we talked about the major biographies that we used to source these episodes. So if you miss that, I want to learn more about those books. You can go back and check out last week's after-party bonus episode. This week, in this week's part two episode on the Merrill Monroe story, we talk about her death and the many different theories that have been out there for a while. So I wanted to speak to the sources that we used to really get into all this and litigate these

different versions of events that are in the episode. There's a book we use called The Murder of Merrill Monroe case closed, written by Jay Margolis and Richard Buskin. This was originally published 10 years ago in 2014. It was a New York Times bestseller, and it was a big deal because, as the title suggests, it puts forth the theory that Marilyn Monroe was assassinated, that Bobby Kennedy ordered it, that Peter Laughford knew about it, that her doctors knew about it, that the FBI and the CIA and yada, yada, yada, yada, yada, give me a fucking break. It's wild, but it is a point of view, and I wanted to rep that point of view. so this is what we used. Check that out if you want to, if, you know, listen,

but it's just backing up a second here. Spoiler alert, if you haven't yet listened to the part two episode of Marilyn Monroe. But basically, the end of it culminates with me laying out the three main conspiracy theories,

which I'm not going to get into here specifically. I believe in one of them. Two of the three, I think, are bogus. But in order to properly rep the two that I don't believe in, you still have to do research in it. So that's why that book

was valuable to us, even though it's not a theory that I subscribe to. And in all the books that we used to set up the Merrill Monroe conspiracy theories and to dive into them, to set up this story in general. I'm just going to cut through all the bullshit. If you want to know my recommendation of the best book to read, it is the Errol Flynn autobiography. Okay? Just go find that if you can find it.

It's a hard book to find. for understandably. It is wild. That's the thing, too, that we don't talk enough about now that I'm being honest. You know, the shit that these entertainers actually copped to in their own books

is nuts. It's fucking crazy. And this is a prime example. Just go read that. All right, 617-906-66-38. I want to know which of the three theories surrounding Marilyn Monroe's death you think is actually true.

Number one, was it probable suicide? Number two, did the Kennedys do it? Number three, was it a medical mishap involving her doctors? Let me know. 617-906-66-36-38. Second question, I also want to know, what books do you want to discuss in the new Disgraceland Book Club? I want to warn you right now,

I'm on this crime mystery thriller kick, and I don't think I'm getting off of it. So if you're into that type of stuff, the book that you select, that you choose, that you might want to discuss, you might want us all to read, is going to have a better chance and say if you suggest war in peace or some historical novel or whatever. Okay, 617-90666-638. Book recommendations is what I'm saying. Also, let me know which explanation of Merrill Monroe's death do you think is most plausible. Text, voicemail. Just like Sam from the 619, calling in.

Sam, this is in regards to last week's question, we asked about which celebrity deaths have affected you. I was obviously talking about Prince, and Sam called in with this voicemail. Hey, Jake, this is Sam from Chico, California. In response to your two, the two deaths that really impacted me, Mr. Padre Tony Gwynn, he was my idol. As a young kid growing up in San Diego and wanted to be like him and his death really impacted me, It was just avoidable and, you know, pretty tragic. And then the other one's Anthony Bourdain. You know, I'm not a chef.

I love food. Not a chef. But his curiosity and his wonder and the way he used his language to depict that was really special to me. And his death really hurt when I heard he passed. So Tony and Anthony Bordane were my two impactful deaths. So thanks for letting me share, Roccarolla. You got it, Sam. And I got to admit, man, you know, being from the Northeast, I'm a sports fan, huge sports fan.

I didn't even realize that Tony Gwyn had died. But I can relate. I remember, you know, Tony Gwyn had a special relationship with Ted Williams. Obviously, they're from different generations. But Tony Glynn's one of the greatest hitters of all time. And Ted Williams might be the greatest hitter of all time. And he took a special interest in Tony Gwyn. I remember that as being a Red Sox fan.

And I remember, I remember, you know, when Ted Williams was. Williams died, it was nonstop coverage in Boston. And then, of course, all the stuff with his son, who has since past, excuse me, and the whole thing with the, what was going to happen to his body after death, that was a whole other story. It reminds me, it might actually be a good episode of disgrace. And maybe I can work Tony Gwynn into that somehow. As for Anthony Bourdain, as you can tell from the episode that I did on Anthony Bourdain, and I was obviously affected by his death as well.

I'm guessing you've heard that, but if not, it is there for you in the feed. All right, let's check in with the 206. Hi, this is Al calling out of Boston, responding to what celebrity death affected me the most. I think that as I was looking to that episode, I kept on thinking of Amy Winehouse. I mean, still tell this day if I think too hard about it,

it brings tears to my eyes. We kind of all watch her. slowly die in front of us and such a extreme talent. All right, 206, yeah. I mean, the Amy Winehouse one was big. I've talked about in the past, my relationship to her music and being able to see her early, early, early on.

I saw her first shows in America, some of them anyways, in the first week she was here, the first couple weeks. And yeah, you kind of hit it on the head. She kind of died. She was dying in real time right in front of us and just incredibly, incredibly sad. and wow, what a talent, unbelievable.

All right, let's do some texts here. The question I asked that will not quit from a couple after-party bonus episodes ago, I asked which musicians do you think have the makeup? I asked this in jest, of course. Just don't get it twisted. It was a joke. I asked which musicians do you think could be serial killers

based on their vibe. And you guys won't leave this one alone, and I don't blame you, it's a fun one. 4-43 writes in, Paul Simon, definitely. a serial killer. I don't know. Actually, has anyone heard from E. DiBurkell lately? I haven't.

All right, 316 writes in, hey, Jason, from Kansas, I think the greatest icons in history will have to be the Beatles and then Elvis and then maybe Merrill Monroe and if not, Michael Jackson. That's kind of a Mount Rushmore right there. Beatles, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson, maybe Madonna. Probably not.

513 writes in, first, I just discovered the show, thanks to the red-handed podcast, and I love it. Love is all capital letters. Goes on to say here in the text, as for celebrity deaths that impacted me, Neil Pert of Rush,

after reading his books, he reminded me so much of my father. Losing him was like losing my dad in some weird way. Wow, that's a... 513, that's a heavy one. I don't know what's in Neil Purt's book, but you got me interested,

now I want to read it. 814 writes in, personally, I was gutted when Chris Cornell died. I'm a huge fan of his music and his voice, and I kind of thought that he made through the roughest part of his life as far as drug use and mental health go. And I expected him to live a long life. And I guess it goes to show that mental health can be something we have to deal with for a lifetime one day at a time.

814, you are so, so correct. Mental health is something that is dealt with one day at a time. You're also correct about, well, at least I shared your belief that Chris Cornell had kind of made it through the dark days, the black days, I should say. And we were both wrong. And you can hear about that, obviously, in the Chris Cornell episode that is available right now. 617-906-66-6638 voicemail and text. I want to know which of the three conspiracy theories

surrounding Marilyn Monroe's death you think is not conspiracy and is actually the truth. I also want to know what you make in this whole ditty situation. I'll be back in a flash. All right, we are back. And as I just mentioned, and I mentioned at the top of the show as well, in addition to our Maryland-M-Roe episode this week,

we also have a brand-new episode on Chris Cornell. That's available right now, and you can go listen to it. But to do so, you've got to become a member of the Disgraceland All Access Club.

I'm going to preview it for you right now. Here you go, check it out. A little taste of what you're missing over in disgrace land. All access.

1988, 24-year-old Chris Cornell was doing what he loved, hitting the road with his band in their Chevy. America, a blur outside the window as they tore ass through Louisiana. Chris no longer playing drums, but singing lead. His band's Soundgarden touring in support of Ultra Mega OK. Their full-length debut on SST records. SST.

Come on, man. Are you kidding me? Black Flag, the Minutemen, Husker Do, the Meat Puppets. They were all on SST. It was the coolest indie label going. Subpop was cool, too, no doubt. And those guys were Soundgarden's friends.

But SST was SST. And they wanted Soundgarden. They wanted Chris Cornell. But SST wasn't alone. Every record label wanted to sign Soundgarten. Every major label. And remember, this is the late 1980s. This is before the word grunge entered the lexicon.

Before Seattle became the new Athens or Minneapolis, Chris Cornell and Soundgarden were that good, and they were that compelling. But unlike most bands, eager to make that jump to the big time, Soundgarden knew they weren't quite ready yet. Chris Cornell had the wisdom and the foresight at just 24 years old to know that he needed more time. And not a defined amount of time.

It could be weeks or months or even years. But the point was to wait until the industry needed them, not the other way around. Because if Chris Cornell signed with major label A&M records at this moment, he knew he would be forced to change, forced to sacrifice his authenticity, which at this point was a polished hybrid of metal, hardcore, and psychedelic rock, wholly unique to the split camps of punk and hair metal dominating Seattle at the time. And again, I'm not saying that by, turning down A&M, Chris Cornell and the guys in Soundgarden were turning down the opportunity

to make a hit record. Being authentic and being a huge star not mutually exclusive. Chris was turning down the notion of selling out. If Soundgarden went to the big time before they were ready, before the industry was ready, they would fail and they'd never have a hit. The hits would come at due time, the way that they wanted. This particular strategy wasn't just Chris's idea. It was recommended by Chris's girlfriend at the time, Susan Silver, who also happened to be Soundgarden's manager. The strategy worked. It allowed Soundgarden to retain their indie credibility, and it got them in with the SST crowd far beyond the borders of Seattle, and it only made the majors want the band more, just like everyone else did. But you can't please them all. Particularly members of law enforcement

here in Louisiana who assumed that your long hair, Washington State plates, and butthole's surfer's bumper sticker on the back of your van, equaled probable cause. Soundgarden's drummer, Matt Cameron, was behind the wheel when he saw the blue lights in the rearview mirror. He didn't panic. He knew the band was clean. Cleaner than your average rock band. Only their sound guy, Hallerman, was holding, and that tiny bit of weed was stashed safely inside his toolkit. Matt pulled over. The cops walked up. Chris got a good look, dark sunglasses, big guns, and their badges, not local police, not troopers, D-E-A.
