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.

Sometimes a suspect is found guilty before a verdict is ever read in court.
On the Wicked Words podcast, I talk with the writers who dig deep into the cases that changed history,
including Marsha Clark, who went from prosecuting one of the most
famous murder cases to writing crime fiction.
It doesn't matter that you didn't take part in the murder.
If you were at the scene at all, you're guilty of murder.
Every week, the real story is revealed.
Join us every Monday for new episodes of Wicked Words.

Hey, guys, thanks for checking out this bonus episode.
And happy new year.
Before we get into it, I wanted to fill you in on all the great content we've got for you this week here in Disgraceland.
We've got the double after party for double the fun.
That's right.
New after party episodes today and on Thursday this week before we dive into a ton of brand
new episodes for 2024.
Over in the Badlands Feed, check out a brand new episode on Sharon Stone that drops tomorrow.
And today we got a brand new episode of our kids and family show Music Land Stories.
You can find that in its own feed.
That show, of course, is hosted by the great Nikki Lynette, who also hosts another double-el of
a show called About a Girl.
And we got a new episode over in that feed too.
This one about Bob Dylan and Suez Ritolo.
You might know her as the woman walking down the street with Bob on the cover of the freewheeling Bob Dylan.
But she actually had a huge impact on Dylan's growth as an artist early on.
So you're going to want to check that episode of About a Girl Out.
All right, though, let's get into the after party, shall we?
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 Disgraceland to the other,
the backyard to dig into the dirt.
On this episode, we are talking about, among other things,
Disgraceland in 2003, looking back,
and Disgraceland in 2024.
Looking forward,
our rewind episode on Johnny Cash,
we're going to give that some attention as well.
And of course, your voicemails, your text, DMs, and more.
And as always, a whole lot of rosy.
All right, discos, let's get into it.
This week in disgraceland.
All right, we're doing something a little different.
First of all, happy new year to all of you, okay?
I've talked to some of you on text,
some of you got your voicemails,
talked to a bunch of you on Instagram,
not enough of you on Twitter,
some of you on TikTok,
but again, not enough there as well.
I just want to say, if I haven't said it already,
if you haven't heard me say it,
Happy New Year.
I am pumped about 2024.
This is going to be the greatest year for disgrace land,
yet I can promise you.
We are doing a lot of different things,
a lot of new and exciting things,
got some interesting projects happening.
It's a whole new year for the show
that you have come to love and support,
disgrace land.
I'm here for you, and I just want to say it again.
Happy New Year.
This week, we're starting things off.
We're all getting back into it.
We've got our production wheels spinning.
The factory is in full flex.
This week we're doing it a little bit different.
We're doing two after-party episodes for you,
two bonus episodes this week before we get into the full episodes next week.
That's, well, you know, because we've got a lot to talk about.
We're going to look back first.
I want to look back at 2023 before we look forward to 2024.
We've created a little,
production juggernaut over here at double elvis we produce a lot of content this year we've produced
more content than we had uh any year prior at least more disgrace land content i'm fairly confident
just double elvis in general we were banging it out um but i want to recap the disgrace land full
episodes that we gave you in 2003 40 full episodes 40 40 that's insane we started the show
back in 2018, I launched with 12 episodes,
then I snuck, I think in that same calendar year,
yeah, that same calendar year, February 18,
sorry, 2018, we did another 12 episodes.
So we did two 12 episodes seasons, 24 episodes for the year in 2018.
We repeated that in 2019, 20, and 21, and 22.
And then, you know, give or take a few.
This year we jumped it up,
jumped it up to 40 full episodes.
All right.
In order.
50 cent.
ACDC.
Mac Miller.
Leonard Skinner.
Otis Redding.
Lou Reed, part one.
Lou Reed, part two.
Sly Stone.
MC5.
Skip James.
Willie Nelson part one.
Willie Nelson part two.
Bruce Springsteen,
Justin Bieber, E.
Jeff Buckley, Jimmy Hendrix,
Lil Kim, Arrowsmith,
Ariana Grande,
New Order, Merle Haggard,
Sonny Rollins,
The Velvet Underground,
and then 10 episodes on the Wutang Clan,
one for each member.
Then you two.
Blondie in excess, Jane's Addiction, Sean Diddy Combs, and Mariah Carey. All that together makes
40 full episodes for 2023. For 2024, we're planning roughly the same amount of output.
And we're doing it a little different. As I've been teasing, we're going to be talking about
other artists who aren't just musicians. And we're going to be releasing those artists
in the disgraceland feed. I'll have more.
more on this as we continue to talk here in these bar. But we're combining, we're combining our
efforts with bad lands and disgrace land. It's, you know, it doesn't matter what the medium is.
It doesn't matter what the vertical it is. It doesn't matter what form of art we're talking about
or what section of life we're talking about. Disgrace is a disgrace is a disgrace. What we really
talk about here is interesting people, the lives of extraordinary artists and the transgressions
that have fueled them, that have crushed them,
that have served as incredible obstacles
for them to navigate around with incredible drama.
That's really what we do here.
So as I grow as a storyteller, as a writer,
and as you guys grow as listeners
and as part of this community,
and we engage in this feedback every week,
I think we should be able to talk about artists
who might not be from a rock and roll,
band or from the rock and roll, uh, the world of the music industry, but are pretty fucking
rock and roll. Anthony Bourdine, perfect example, about as rock and roll as you get. Guy never
played an instrument, guy never made a record, but just a fascinating subject that I've been dying
to talk about forever. It doesn't really fit into bad lands or disgrace land. And that got me thinking,
well, shit, man, it's all disgraceful, right? Andy Warhol, same thing. Steve McQueen, okay? You see where I'm
going with this, Hunter S. Thompson? You know,
where I'm going. All right. So these are the episodes we have planned for next year so far.
Serge Gainsburg, Stu Sutcliffe from the Beatles. This will be chapter nine in our Beatles
series. And I don't know. I think this is it. Maybe a Pete Best episode? I doubt it. But I
I digress. Let me keep going here. Number one, Serge Gainsberg, Stu Sutcliffe, Scott Weiland from
Stone Temple Pilots, The Clash, Anthony Bourdain, like I mentioned, Andy Warhol, Peter Tosh,
Steve McQueen, Public Enemy, Hunter S. Thompson, Lane Staley from Allison Chains, Kobe Bryant, Baskia, Garth Brooks, William S. Burroughs, Chris Cornell, Bob Dylan, R. Kelly, Jose Kinseko, Bobby Brown, Waylon Jennings.
And that's just the first half of the year. We got a bead on who we're doing for the second half of the year.
Heard a lot of suggestions from you guys. This is your last chance, though, to get these suggestions.
in for the calendar year, 2004.
617-906-66-6638.
Send me a text, send me a voicemail.
You guys are great with the suggestions.
But everything I just mentioned to you, all of those names, those are already being produced
right now.
A lot of them are already done.
They're already in the can.
They're already ready to go.
Writing the Anthony Bourdain episode as we speak this week.
But like I said, that was 21 episodes that I just laid out for you for 2024 that we
have planned already and we're going to be doing about that same amount for the second half of the
year. So we have some empty slots. We have a good idea on who we want to cover. But just now's the time.
617-90666-36-3-8. For those of you who are going to, your hair's going to light on fire, you're going
to spontaneously combust because you haven't heard me say the band name Van Halen. Don't worry.
It's in the hopper. It's done, actually. I don't know why it's not on this list, probably because
we're not releasing it until the second half of the year.
But don't worry, Van Halen's coming.
All right?
Also, I want to know other artists who aren't musicians that you want to hear of.
The bigger the name, the better.
Okay, I see Jose Konseko on here.
And my mind goes to Lenny Dykstra.
I go, you know, no one knows who the fuck Lenny Dykstra is except for me and my stupid friends.
So I don't know.
I don't think that's not quite the type of name I'm thinking of, right?
We want bigger names, okay?
Even I look on this list and I look at someone like William S. Barrow is a Hunter S. Thompson.
I know who those guys are.
They're greats.
They're giants in my world.
But I want big names.
I want big crimes.
Let me know what you guys want to hear.
617-906-66-36-38.
Also, before I forget, we have a rewind episode from our archive coming to you this Friday.
This is our Johnny Cash episode.
It involves crash catalanx, drug smuggling, speed, of course.
tranquilizers, of course, beer, and oh yeah, burning down a national forest.
So if you have not heard this Johnny Cash episode, if you are new to disgrace land,
I suggest you stick around and you check this one out.
You're not going to want to miss it.
All right, 617-90666-6638 to get your requests in on who you want to hear.
Voicemail, text, also at Disgraceland Pod, on Instagram, on Twitter, on TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, X.
What am I forgetting?
I'm everywhere.
Disgracelandpot at gmail.com on email.
And speaking of which, let's check out this email from April Woodall.
Right.
Subject, Dean Martin!
Exclamation point, Jake, I was delighted to hear you sing the praises of Dean Martin.
Check out a movie called Kiss Me Stupid, where he plays himself.
There is no one cooler.
Thank you for all you do, and especially your great energy.
Happy New Year.
Well, happy New Year to you, April.
I agree.
There was no one cooler.
Elvis agreed to.
All right, let's check out.
Let's do one more, one more, one more.
I know I've got to be quick here. Let's do one more here. This one is from Jeff Cox, subject, Taylor Mitchell.
Okay, we haven't done an episode on Taylor Mitchell, but I did do a little Instagram video about this folk singer from Canada who was unfortunately killed on a hike, attacked by wild coyotes and eaten alive. It's brutal, brutal, brutal, brutal story.
This comes from, like I said, Jeff Cox's subject, Taylor Mitchell, message, hello. I'm a huge fan of all your podcasts and disgraceland.
is my first recommendation to people who ask for a podcast to listen to.
Then I tell them to listen to all the other ones that you do.
I live in Cape Breton, where Taylor was killed.
She was killed in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park.
There's a paved road called the Cabot Trail you can drive on through the park.
There are lots of trails and beaches and such off the main road.
It was one of these trails called the Skyline Trail that she was attacked.
I have walked that trail many times and came face to face with a moose a couple of times.
You can get within 15 to 20 feet of them sometimes.
The views and foliage are amazing.
Amazing. If you have any questions about the area, I would be honored to help. Thank you from Jeff. Well, Jeff, thanks for that email. Pretty wild that you're still walking that same path where that death happened. That's crazy. Be careful. All right, guys, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be back in a flash with your text and your voicemails.
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 2, 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 IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcast.
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.
And I immediately know that I've been sleepwalking.
David O'Yellowo.
I love this podcast, whether it's therapy or relationships or relationships or
religion or sex or addiction 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, Mongeau, Camilla Morone, 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 and I answer some texts here.
This one from the 760.
Hey, just listen to the Beach Boys episodes.
Then the bonus.
So glad you had been enlightened to the bullshit that is helter-skelter and the genius of chaos, the book.
Tom O'Neill, that's the author of Chaos that the 760 was talking about, was on Joe Rogan.
Go to YouTube and search.
I know what to find the Joe Rogan podcast, but I appreciate it.
It's 760.
760 goes on to say,
he's working on book two,
and there will be a Netflix doc.
I'm aware of that with Arrow Morris.
I know this.
I suggest you read the Manson file
by Nicholas Shrek
to really have your mind blown
about the Manson stuff,
especially the cover-up
and the sham that the trial was.
All right, happy to hear
that there's other people out there
in the world like myself
who are hip
to the real helter-skelter story.
I was not hip to it
when we produced
those Beach Boys episodes.
I was still on that Helter Skelter train, but can you blame me? Can you? Can you blame me? Don't blame me.
It wasn't until I read chaos. Go read chaos. Go read chaos. All right, this one from the 410 writes in.
So whatever you decide about combining badlands and disgrace land will be fine. I listen no matter what, but having to keep track of fewer podcasts would be great.
What were you saying about chaos versus Helter Skelter? It really hits on exactly what you do for us.
You get the real story about these artists out there in a way.
that is not only entertaining, but based on facts and evidence.
No one needs to hear the urban legends again about how MamaCast choked on a ham sandwich
or that Michael Hutchins accidentally died during autoerotic asphyxiation, excuse me.
Even when the storytelling style is from a more creative point of view, the facts are real.
That's probably the thing I most appreciate.
And all these stories that you tell, these people may be famous, but they are human.
Well, thank you, 410.
I really appreciate that.
And that's kind of how I'm thinking about it as well.
They're all just human stories, and we're here to tell them in the most
entertaining and dramatic way possible using this exciting, cool shit medium known as podcasting.
Stoked that you're down with combining the feeds, I'll have more on that in the coming weeks.
The 541 writes in, just listening to yesterday's afterparty, you recommended Alphonse Muzon, Funky Snakefoot.
I've heard that before.
I'll have to search through my dad's album collection because I am sure I have that album on vinyl.
Yes, Alphonse Muzon.
Was that the guy's name?
I remember Funky Snakefoot.
Fucking great.
Also, someone, I don't know if I talked about it in an after party, guys,
or if I was talking about it on social media or something.
Clarence Reed, and I believe the song is called The Winter.
It was a Christmas song that I got obsessed with.
I think that's the name of it.
Over the last couple weeks, I should remember it.
I listened to it enough, but I drink a lot of bourbon over the break as well.
I can remember the song, and again, Clarence Reed.
No, it was my dad.
My dad told me this, and I was telling him about the song.
and my dad, who knows way more about music than I do,
told me that Clarence Reed is Blowfly.
Blowfly.
I didn't know that.
You guys know who Blowfly is?
Check that out if you don't know.
Check out Blowfly.
And then check out Clarence Reed.
Check out the music, all right?
So then I'm watching Bourdain because I'm writing this Bordane episode.
I'm doing this research.
And I find out that Clarence Reed, Blowfly, is from Florida,
which I did not know.
Not that you would care about that.
But again, this guy's just popping up.
up everywhere right now. Check out Clarence Reed. Get back to me. 617-906-66-6-6-36-3-8. Did you have a good New Year's
guys? Did you have a good New Year's Eve? Did you go out? Did you do some fun stuff? Do you make out
when the ball dropped? All that? 814 writes in, Hey, Jake, my New Year's Eve song is Ding-Dong,
ding-dong by George Harrison from the underrated, in my honest opinion album, Dark Horse.
Ring out the old, ring in the new. And as an added bonus, the video is chock-full of George
Harrison's unhinged sense of humor.
Love the show.
Long time listener, first time, text, or rock a roll.
Thank you, A14.
Appreciate that.
You know, I cannot, I have that record, but I do not know that song.
I don't know it.
I don't know it.
You can't know every song.
Not even every George Harrison song on a, you know, what some would say is a seminal
George Harrison album.
I don't know it.
An album I have.
I don't know the song.
I can't think of it.
862 writes, and hey, Jake, I have an idea for an
episode, Disgraceland episode, that is, Ian Watkins' lead singer of lost profits in prison
and can't wait to get out so he can re-offend. His crime, luring and assaulting young girls,
age 14, without remorse, and a wicked cocaine habit. It's disgusting by any means may be too
egregious for you to do. You don't have to look into it. It also involves a baby at one point
on video. Oh my God. Yeah, that's too much. I can't get in there. I typically don't do,
I don't mess with the kid stuff. I'm going to make an exception for the archa
Kelly thing, that's a different story entirely. Not different. It's a expanded or bigger or deeper.
I don't know what the right adjective is, but it's not just like, you know, whatever. I don't
like thinking about it. I don't like talking about it. And I don't think people want to listen
to me talk about the kid's stuff. That's always been my take. That's why I haven't done it.
Let's check out this one from the 519. It's Mr. Mojo, rising, not rising. There's no G
and Jim Morrison. Dave, Dave, Dave's pissed. Dave.
We're fucking around here, man.
We're not being super literal.
You know what I'm saying?
424 writes in, looking forward to 2024 disgrace land with a snap of his top podcasts from Spotify with
disgrace land in the number one spot.
There you go.
603 writes in, Jake showed my kids the Blues Brothers when they were just six and nine years old.
Kind of a whoops parenting moment, perhaps.
I don't know.
They might be too young where it doesn't matter.
Like, there's a point when your kids are, they're young enough that they don't get the super dirty stuff, but they're old enough to get the other stuff, if that makes sense.
You know what I'm saying?
304 writes in, and I'll leave you with this text, guys, disgrace land times bad lands equals Jake motherfucking Brennan land.
That's your new title.
So everybody knows it.
Don't get no better.
Appreciate you 304, but I'm going to stick with just straight up Brennan.
All right.
guys 617 9066638 I want to know what you want to hear in 2024 all right I got 20 more slots give or take to fill big names big let's go beyond music let me know what you're thinking text 617 906 66638 voicemail same thing same number all right hit me on social at disgrace and pod and take a quick break back after this there's two golden rules that any man should live by rule one never

So anyway, Nicole Kimman broke up with Keith Urban.
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 Madarazzo from Stranger Things.
Tena, monsieur.
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,
and this is the recommendations part,
the part of the show where we recommend the things,
the music that is,
it needs recommending this is the recommendations part.
So over the break,
I was doing a lot of house cleanup,
doing a lot of organizing.
And while I do that stuff
around the house anyways.
I like to put on a TV series that just goes deep that has a ton of episodes and seasons
and that I've seen a bunch and just have it playing while I'm doing my stuff.
And then I kind of loosely get pulled into the narrative, but I'm not really paying attention,
but there's enough of the story going on in the background to keep me semi-interested and not
bored with the task that I'm having to do.
but it's not distracting me either.
You see what I'm saying?
So good shows for this have been in my experience in the past.
The Wire has been a great one.
Mad Men, another one.
So over the break, you know, it's been a while.
It was the Sopranos.
I had to do it.
I don't know.
I just had the Sopranos.
I didn't start at season one.
I started around season four or five or something like that.
I think it was season five.
Basically because season six,
I wasn't a big fan of season six,
So I did love the final episode that everyone else hated and not just to be a contrarian.
I really loved it when it first hit.
But anyways, I didn't like the whole season.
I hated that whole part with Tony.
Spoiler alert, okay?
Just letting you know, if you haven't seen The Sopranos, it's been like 20 fucking years.
There's going to be some spoilers, okay?
I didn't like the part where Tony gets shot and he ends up in Costa Mesa or wherever David Chase's idea of purgatory is in America.
I didn't like that whole storyline and I wanted to rewatch it sort of kind of not really and see if it if it hit me in any way and of course it did and of course I like it. I love it now actually. But it also, the thing, the reason I'm telling you all this is because there's this incredible scene where Christopher gets, gets high on heroin, it gets back in a junk and he's outdoors at this Italian festival at night after it's closed down.
It's a feast, one of those classic city feasts that the Italians do.
And he's lying back on the bench and he's smoking a cigarette.
And he's wasted.
And there's this song playing.
And it's so good.
And it's Fred Neals, the Dolphins.
And this song is just amazing.
I've talked about this song before to you guys, I believe, in some capacity.
And then I forgot about it.
loved that I was reminded of it again from the Sopranos.
And I was like, I'm going to look into Fred Neal.
I'm going to figure this guy out, see what else is out there.
And then I thought, no, I'm not.
I'm going to ask the discos.
I'm going to ask the disgracing listeners.
I'm going to ask the disgrace in the community what they know about Fred Neal.

Let's talk.
about this week's rewind episode in the meantime of Johnny Cash.
This episode is, it's one of my favorite disgrace land episodes.
I remember when we released it back in 2019, I believe.
It pissed a lot of people off because it was critical of Johnny Cash.
And Johnny Cash fans are, you know, they like to stand up on their front foot and, you know,
they like to yell or something.
I don't know, but I don't really understand why I pissed people off.
I think it was just some people don't don't like their artists to be criticized.
And you know me, none of these guys, as much as I love them or girls, are beyond criticism.
But I also remember that this episode was the first time I think, I think it was the first time I tried collaborating with another writer and having them write an episode of Disgraceland.
And it did not go well for either of us.
We tried.
It just didn't work.
I remember it was coming up on the deadline and I had to scrap the entire episode and write it all over myself, start to finish.
Typically, it takes me five days to write an episode after I've done the research.
I thankfully had done the research because I was, like I said, collaborating, but I hadn't done any of the writing.
And then I remember I just sat down in the morning and I was like, I'm just fucking doing this.
I'm finishing this all 5,000 words or whatever it is, edited the whole thing.
And it took me something like 17 hours to get done, finally got it done, finally got it out there,
had no idea if it was good or bad.
I went back and listened to it months later, decided it was good.
But I had such a poor experience producing it that it just, it's just one of those episodes
that fell flat from me for a lot of years.
But, but I've listened to it recently.
And I think it's pretty damn good.
And I think you're going to love it.
So for a little context on this Johnny Cash episode, it was around this time.
actually early January, January 13th, to be exact, back in 1968, that Johnny Cash made history
by performing a show for inmates at Folsom State Prison. You may know the record. This is in Folsom,
California. The show is recorded. The record was released on Columbia Records in May of that same
year. It's a big, huge part of the story. The album's first single, Folsom Prison Blues charted on the
Billboard 100 and on the country charts, which is a big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big
at the time back when it was first release.
But a week later,
Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated.
And radio station stopped playing the song
because of the famous line,
I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.
Columbia Records demanded that the single be remixed
to remove that line.
Johnny Cash protested,
but Columbia won the argument.
It was remixed.
The line was cut.
It was re-released.
And then, of course, it charted even higher.
Crazy story.
