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 disgrace land 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 or disgrace land to the other. The backyard to dig into the dirt. On this bonus episode, we are talking about Brittany Murphy.

And Brittany has us talking about some really, really bad moms. and of course we are diving into your voicemails, texts, and more. And as always, a whole lot of rosy. All right, discos, let's get into it. Being a mom is one of the toughest jobs there is. The hours are long, endless even in the pay, depending on your lot in life. It can be short. I'm not a mom, in case you couldn't tell.

I have one, though, and I'm also married to one, and I also have a mother-in-law, and I even have a sibling who is a mom. I am lucky. All the moms that I know are great. I admire them. I'm even inspired by it. them. Dad's, by comparison, I know firsthand, we have it easy. And kids, well, if they have good moms, they're probably doing okay. But what about bad moms? If you listen to this week's episode on

Brittany Murphy, you know where my head is at. Bad moms are a thing. More of a thing, historically, both in Hollywood and beyond, than I realized. The true crime bad mom corner of the street is a fascinated one. Have you guys ever heard of Ma Barker? The Barker gang from the 1930s, Barker was a horrendous mom. Her criminal compulsions made quick felons out of her four sons, Arthur, Herman, Fred, and Lloyd murderers these guys, armed robbers, kidnappers. The Barker boys, they did a little bit of it all at the behest of their gangster mom. And for it, they were all either gun down or imprisoned, including Ma Barker herself, who was shot and killed by FBI agents alongside her son Fred in 1935. Nice work, Mom. Does the name Marianne Cotton ring a bell for

of you, true crime historians out there. This is another mom of the year candidate. Marianne was, she was a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad person. She poisoned and killed 11 of her 13 children. Can you imagine? 11 of your 13 kids. I don't know why I'm laughing.

It's absurd. It's fucking nuts. She also murdered four of her husbands, two of her lovers, two other unlucky souls. The insurance scam was Marianne, Cotton's game. Marianne had quite a kill sheet for her mother by the time Scotland Yard wrangled her into custody and her demise was violent, painful, and not a good one to say the least. Sex Pistols-Based guitaristice, Sid Vicious, punk rock icon. As a young child, he was used as a drug

mule by his mother and Beverly. His mother was also responsible for Sid's early addiction to heroin. Sid's mother's involvement in his death, long believed to be a self-inflicted lethal heroin endorse. This is the subject of the second episode that we ever produced on Disgracent. For those who haven't heard it, I'm not going to spoil it for you, but I will say that the bad mom vibes go far beyond the illegal drug mulling and are quite suspicious. So you should check that Sid Vicious episode out if you have not already. And if you have heard it, you should listen to it again because it's a wild story, especially upon re-listening. All these moms, and we haven't even entered Hollywood yet, okay? Drew Barrymore's mom, Jade introduced her daughter Drew,

who was a bona fide star by the age of seven to the wild goings on inside of Manhattan's Studio 54 at just the tender age of nine years old where drugs mainly cocaine for young Drew were readily available and mom was quick to pour the Baileys over young Drew's ice cream. By the time Drew is 12, she tried killing herself and her mom had her committed to a psych ward, okay? Brooke Shields. Okay, Brooke Shields's mother had Brooke posing in Playboy at the age of 10. How was that legal, you ask? I don't know. And I'm not confirming whether or not 10-year-old Brooke Shields pose nude or not, because I'm afraid to enter those words into my search bar for fear of having to do some awkward Pete Townsend type, quote-unquote, research explanation in front

of a future judge. So you guys can figure that one out all on your own. There are more bad moms, of course. This is just the tip of the iceberg. I didn't even mention Dina Lohan or Joan Crawford. And you guys likely know those stories. My point is that like the stories I mentioned, Stories I'm betting most of us weren't aware of. The story of Britney Murphy's mother, a story told in this week's full episode of disgrace land, is a story that is also largely unknown and it is highly suspicious. Perhaps the reason it's so unknown is because it's hard to tell the story without using conjecture.

It's not like Britney Murphy's mother was ever convicted or anything like that. She was not. She was barely even accused. The whole story is so damn messy and ugly that I can just. I can tell. People just avoid it. It's gross. They don't want to talk about it. And it should be noted that Sharon Murphy, Britney Murphy's mom, refutes basically everything that Brittany's father alleges, including the toxicology report. That said, the circumstantial evidence seems, if not damning, then super, super suspicious. And we can all look up the facts. And we can listen to the Britney Murphy episode of Disgraysand and make up our own minds and come to our own judgment.

Anyway, you cut it though. Brittany Murphy's death, highly suspicious, and Brittany Murphy was, of course, a celebrity. And that prompted my question to you guys about which celebrities you think died most suspiciously, which celebrity cause of death you're calling bullshit on. More of that coming up later in this bonus episode. But in the meantime, speaking of celebrities, we have a whopper of an icon coming next week in our episode on Alfred Hitchcock. And this episode looks almost explicitly at the famous director's controlling relationship with his starlet, Tippy Hedron, and the abuse that he put her through during the filming of his iconic movie, The Birds. Control is obviously the theme for this episode,

specifically male-dominated, exploitative control. So as you listen to this upcoming Alfred Hitchcock episode, which is a very critical look, I should say, at one of my favorite directors, a man whose talent was almost immeasurable. I mean, this guy just,

he invented, new ways for making movies. Calling him talented seems like an understatement. Nonetheless, he was incredibly problematic. So perhaps another thing to think about while you're listening to this upcoming Alfred Hitchcock episode is what I'm calling the Hitchcock Dilemma, which is the problem that we all have in this modern age, this age of information. And the problem is this.

We love a director's films, but we know that this. director was a miserable, hurtful, son of a bitch, and made people's lives miserable. But that doesn't make the movies any less watchable. So what do we do? Okay? Well, for me, I wish I could find it in me to signal some sort of honest virtue here, but I cannot. If it were announced tomorrow that Alfred Hitchcock was the goddamn Zodiac killer, I don't think it would make me like rear window any less, okay? So the thing to think about when you're listening to the disgrace land episode on Alfred Hitchcock is which problematic director or problematic actors films can you not go without despite their horrific behavior? Richard Pryor was violent toward the women in his life,

but if I'm cruising the channels at night and I come across the toy or if I'm on YouTube scrolling around and I see some prior stand-up bits on YouTube, I'm not not watching those things, okay? And Woody Allen, come on, man, Annie Hall, Manhattan, two of the greatest films ever made. And the problems that would come to later partly define Woody Allen are now obvious in both of those films. But still, are we not going to watch those movies? Maybe some of you won't. And if you don't, I can't blame you. But I think that the question that I'm going to ask you guys for next week is going to be about which problematic directors and actors have films that you just can't do without. Who are they? Who are the directors? Who are

the actors? And what are those films that are too good to not watch? Anyway, that's That's all part of the upcoming Alfred Hitchcock episode of disgrace sandwich is up in just a bit in your feeds. I'll be back in just a bit with your calls and your texts. 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. 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 act 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. making karate noises. And his entire

the Kardashian family over there, everybody's going, and the air marshes trying to grab my arms and screaming. I immediately know that I've been sleepwalking. David O'Yellowo. 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 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 Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right. And last week's after party, we talked a lot about heavy metal bands, big selling heavy metal bands,

all relative to, of course, last week's Metallica episode. And I mentioned tool, and that prompted a lot of feedback from you guys on the need, apparently, for a tool episode of disgrace land. Perhaps, perhaps in the future. In the meantime, here's Gretchen in the 402 with some much-needed female perspective. Hi, Jake, Gretchen from the 402. I have a question. How come you don't like thin Lizzie? Just kidding. Hey, um, Gretchen. girls that like tool, me being one of them, 49 years young, 1994. I first got put on to them. Great album.

And I think a lot of what they say, some of the double entendres, some of the lyrics, some of the deeper, darker stuff resonated with kids that were born in the 70s, went kind of rad in the 80s. And a lot of that hit home. home. So we interpreted those lyrics and obviously the music was great, watching him at a concert turn his back to people in his underwear and perform that way the whole show. Not as cool, but definitely the music, very cool. Still Reds still holds up. I still listen to a lot of songs, prison sex, good one. Three Libra's Perfect Circle, his breakoff, listen to that. Also,

did you see those kids that covered 46 and 2? A whole orchestra of kids from this middle school, band director said, hey, cover 46 and 2, and they did, and it's on YouTube. It is pretty epic. Have a great day, rockerola. Thank you, Gretchen. I've seen Tool a couple times myself, and I can't say that I remember the underwear in the back to the audience thing, but that might say more about me than it does the band. Regardless, it's like I mentioned at the beginning, it's cool to get a female perspective on this band. I appreciate it.

Thank you, Gretchen. Guys, 617-9066638. If you want to be awesome, like Gretchen and chime in on voicemail or text, the 513 text in. Hey, the Metallica episode was insane. You summed up that era of my favorite band in a great way. Paying tribute to Cliff was monumental. The story about the murder in Texas was news to me. The only thing I think you should have worked on is how Cliff's dad encouraged the band to continue on.

Without his blessing and the push, the demise of it. Cliff's legacy would have been a real disgrace. And that's so true. We didn't cover Cliff's father's influence on Metallica after his son's death. Thank you, 513, for pointing that out. Appreciate it very much, as stated earlier. One of the subjects we've been discussing obviously has been this BS celebrity cause of death relative to the Britney Murphy episode. And the 617 writes, and, hey, Jake, it's Nicky. I think one of the suspicious deaths of 2000s is Alia. They said she was afraid of small planes and that she had been medicated before boarding that plane from the Bahamas and that her security guard had to carry her on. Hmm. Yes, suspicious, Nikki. And I can tell you, Nikki, we are right now working on in Alia episode. So I hope you dig it. All right. More women chiming in on Tool. I got to read this one. It's funny. This is cheesecake from the 501. Jake, love you. But girls are indeed into Tool. Sure, dudes are the majority. there are a lot of us gals that love them too. I became a fan back in the late 90s,

fell in love with the lyrical genius first, then the musical technicality. Danny on the drums, so good, they rock, I love them. I am a woman. Hear me roar at a tool show. Cheesecake from the 501. Thank you. You have been heard, okay? I hope you know that. You've been heard and you are appreciated and I'm thankful for the female perspective on one of the most beloved apparently metal bands of all time, tool. A band that I guess I was kind of taken for granted. a band that I'm going to go back and check out. And, you know, a band that perhaps we will cover in disgrace land at some point if I can find some angle in that is disgraceful.

That's my thinking. There's got to be something there. They've been around for too long. Banana underscore Diaz XX exclamation point writes in on X. Strange celebrity deaths that I am not believing, Merrill Monroe covered so well in your episodes. Hey, thank you. you. I appreciate that. Don't mean to be self-congratulatory there by reading your text. But yeah, I think the Maryland Monroe is the grand poohba of bullshit celebrity death,

celebrity causes of death. Sorry. Did I say that correctly? I think I did. Yes. All right. What else we got here? Hold on. I want to get some more DMs at Disgracelyn Pott guys on X Instagram and Facebook. Liam Renton writes in on, this is on Facebook, I believe. Although I can't tell in the Facebook app, what is a Facebook message and what is an Instagram message anymore. Oh, this is Instagram. This is Liam Retton writes in. Just listen to the entire Brittany Murphy podcast.

Brilliant. Loved it. So well thought out and structured your voices next level. Good. You actually sound like Sean Mullins in the song. Shimmer. Super cool. Great pod, mate.

Thanks, Liam. Appreciate you. Glad you dig in the podcast. Now I need to go check out some Sean Mullins. Andrew Grant writes in on the Brittany Murphy episode. one of the saddest stories you've put together. Love the team's work, man. Andrew, you got it.

It is a team effort here at Double Elvis. It's not just me behind the mic. There are many folks who work on the research, work on the writing, work on the production, work on the mixing, work on the promoting. And I thank you, Andrew, for mentioning the team there. Appreciate you. Guys, at Disgraceland Pod, you want to hit me up on Facebook?

Tena Monsu. 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, guys. We are back. more on this Metallica episode we released a week ago. This is from Joseph DeCure on Spotify, who says I can honestly say that this is my favorite episode of disgrace land.

You guys definitely nailed it. Joseph, thank you. Get in touch. All right. Joseph DeCure, get in touch. We've got some merch for you guys. You guys want to win some free merch. You want to help out the show.

So hit us up, all right, Apple Podcasts and Spotify, leave us some reviews. It's what helps the show get recognized. It's a good way to promote the show.

It's a good way to get disgrace land out into the world. Speaking of Apple Podcast, found punk leaves us a review. It says, five stars says, I never thought. I never thought I'd be into the quote unquote celebrity world because of all the ugly consumerism and narcissism. But this podcast keeps me wanting to know more about what goes on behind the scenes. And I start seeing celebrities as more than just tabloid fodder and plastic people. Thanks, bro. You got it.

Thank you, Found Punk. Hit us up. All right? Hit us up and we'll get some merch out to you. And I want to say, I've been thinking about this a lot, actually. Okay? Because I can relate to Found Punk's sentiment here. I never thought that I would be, you know, I like to think of disgrace land.

It started out purely music and true crime. We've obviously expanded. We're covering actors, recovering athletes, recovering artists of all stars and stripes. But it is kind of a celebrity podcast in a weird way. I've been telling people lately, it's stories from the dark side of entertainment, which it certainly is. There's a darkness that is at the undercurrent of all of these stories. And though there are celebrity names that are in the titles of all of the,

these podcast episodes, and certainly these are the subjects, make no bones about it, they're not celebrity tabloid fodder in the least found punk has nailed it. These are human stories. And I'm researching an episode right now about a massively famous celebrity, Matthew Perry from Friends. And those of you who are on our Patreon, you know this already, forgive me, because I've been talking about this in the chat over there and just mentioning it. And it's, um, it's, um, I can't, I don't know if I can say it's one of the most human stories I've ever researched, but there's something going on with this research where it is supremely depressing. Now, listen, I didn't grow up a Matthew Perry fan. I didn't even grow up a Friends fan. I came to Friends

late, like when it went on Netflix, or years after it went on Netflix, I became a Friends fan. After I'd already devoured Seinfeld like five times, I actively disliked Friends back in the 90s. and then I came to, I came to someone, I heard someone talk about the first season and how it was actually really great. So I got interested and I watched it and I got looped in and I started to appreciate it. And I can appreciate, you know, I can appreciate big mainstream popcorny commercial content, you know, just like I can appreciate Gigi Allen. They're different things, but I can see the value in both. But I say this to just point out that I did not grow up like a, you know, a fanatic. for friends or Matthew Perry or anything like that.

And I find myself researching this episode. And frankly, I've found myself to be legitimately depressed over it. It is a sad, sad episode to research. It is a sad story. And the human piece of it, the addiction, the disease that this guy had, the toll that it took on his life. it's hard to digest and it's going to be even harder to write and I'm not going to write it like some tabloidy bullshit. I'm going to write it so that the human piece of it is right there at the center

of the story. And I think that's why you guys keep showing up here and I appreciate you and I appreciate you found Punk for calling that out in the reviews there on Apple Podcasts. I want to read this other review here too because it brings up a big, a larger point for me. This one, one is from Megan Locke. And it says, great writing, great style, five stars is on Apple Podcasts. I love that I don't feel like I'm listening to a script written by AI. Great work. Love all your picks for topics. Awesome variety. I say this not to be self-congratulatory, though I'm not immune to that, as you can tell from these episodes. But Megan's larger point here, right? The AI piece of it. This is something that I'm in real fear of. I'm not in fear of AI taking my job. That'll never happen. and, you know, AI might affect my job so that I make less money in the future, but whatever. The piece here that I'm afraid of is if you go on to, if you go on to YouTube and you serve, there's some great storytellers on YouTube, but the YouTube algorithm, and I fear that this is going to happen with all of the big social media content players, Instagram, meta, et cetera, TikTok,

the YouTube algorithm anyways, it rewards, it seems to reward neutral. broad storytelling. Just like mainstream network television or mainstream blockbuster filmmaking in past years has favored safe, neutral storytelling because it can reach

the biggest possible audience. And that's what YouTube is interested in. Creators making content that can reach as many people as possible and offend as few people as possible. And they have all these safe cards in place and I understand why they have them. But at the same time, it's not like they have real humans sitting back and protecting against harmful content.

This is all sort of, as I understand it, AI protected. And it causes if you're a creator, you don't want to be dinged. You don't want to be kicked off the platform. You don't want your content to not reach people and to be not recommended by the algorithm. So creators are sort of forced into this lane to create very, very safe content. And as we grow, as the media industry grows over these next few years, and the mainstream channels of content distribution get more and more fragmented, and creators have less and less control over how they promote their content through other

traditional means, other partners with either studios or normal distribution. channels. It's, I just, I really, really fear that we are headed toward a place where it will almost entirely just be the safe storytelling because that's the only type of storytelling that the algorithms are going to reward. And these big social media content companies, they have everybody else boxed out. And yes, the internet is a great equalizer and we can all just make whatever we want and put it out into the world. Yes, but we are governed by how these algorithms treat our content. So when Megan here talks about she's happy that disgrace land is not just some script written by AI, Megan, I don't know where we're going to be in 10 years.

And something tells me that we're going to be in a very, very tough place where there will be the sort of top 1% of content creators who will be so huge and he'll have audiences that are so, so big that they will be able to sort of do whatever they want, write whatever they want, But the majority of other content creators, the smaller ones, are going to have to, if not, use AI to write their content right in a way that is similar to AI. And that to me is very fucking scary. So Megan, I don't know, I just, you inspired this rant. Thank you. Hit us up. Got some merch for you. Speaking of algorithms over on Spotify, guys, if you're a Spotify listener, get over there. We get a poll over there under the Britney Murphy episode. I want to know how you believe she does. was it the mom theory or the dad theory? Okay, not that the dad is theorized to have killed her, but the dad has his own theories. I guess that's what I'm saying.

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.
