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 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.

Hey guys, thanks to checking with this bonus episode. Before we get into it, though, I wanted to fill you in on all the great content

we got for you this week. Here in Disgraceland, we just released a brand new episode on Blondie. And tomorrow we're releasing a rewind episode from our archive on Chris Brown. That's over in the Badlands feed. Check out some archive re-releases on River Phoenix and Tim Allen as well. All right, let's get into it, 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 disgrace land to the other, the backyard to dig into the dirt. On this episode, we are talking, among other things about our new full episode on Blondie, this week's rewind episode on Chris Brown. And of course, your voicemails, text, DMs, and more. And as always, a whole lot of rosy.

All right, discos, let's get into it. All right, this one. week in disgrace land. Brand new episode on Blondie, one of the great bands to come out of the 1970s, punk new wave CBGB scene in New York City. Fertile scene. Great time for music, great time for musical innovation as well. And also a great time of fear. Violent crime had the five burrows in a stranglehold, muggers, rapists, thieves, criminal deviants, all kinds. Ran wild, wild in the streets, as Garland Jeffrey said. So true New Yorkers, like Blondie, though, they were tough.

They were kind of jaded and immune to the fierce city vibes that inflicted the tourists who came to New York City. Blondie's Debbie Harry in particular, she was not a victim. She's a survivor. She was not a mark. But she nearly became a victim when the soon-to-be infamous serial killer offered her a ride. So Debbie Harry wrote all about her infamous encounter with soon-to-be serial killer, Ted Bundy, in her autobiography, Face It, which came out back in 2019.

Okay. This is, to me, one of the greatest connections between music and true crime in history. It is also quite literally the reason I do this podcast. These weird fucking connections. Now, let's just address the elephant in the room really quick. Did this happen? Did Debbie Harry, as I put forth in the new full episode on Blondie, and as Debbie Harry confirms to be true, states to be true in her book? has done elsewhere, the fact that she was once given a ride by Ted Bundy who tried to abduct her and she then escaped. Now, a lot of people call bullshit on this, but here's the deal. This is the greatest type of storytelling. It's myth, meaning you can't prove that it happened, but you can't prove that it didn't happen either. I've talked about this before. Now, a lot of people point to the fact

that Ted Bundy never killed anybody in New York City. And that Ted Bundy was not known to be an East Coast guy that he wasn't in New York City at the time, but however, there is evidence that he was in Philadelphia at the time, which is only about an hour's drive from New York City. So, who are you going to believe? I'm choosing to believe the victim here. I couldn't help myself. I'm choosing to believe Debbie Harry here. Not out of some, like, you know, false sense of victim's rights or anything like that, but just because this is a damn good story. And Debbie Harry's a pretty incredible person when you look at her past and you look how authentically she's represented herself in her art and everything else. Who knows? Maybe she wanted to sell books. I don't know, but this

story is just too good to put down. I've been talking about this forever. Since I first thought of this podcast, I wanted to do this episode. When I did those live shows back in, gosh, when were they? 2019, I did, I had a bit at the end of the shows where I would do this sort of like true or false thing with these absurd stories that, that, that musicians had a part in. And this Ted Bundy Debbie Harry thing was part of it even back then. So I've been itching to tell this story. So the response has been great so far.

I love that you guys are responding to it. I love that you were there for the shock of the Ted Bundy thing. I'm down with it. If you know any other information on this, anyone out there listening who knows Debbie Harry has perhaps some different insight into this personally from her. Get in touch. Let me know.

All right, 617-906-66-36-3-8. Also, if you are a listener out there and you've heard this story, and you think it's bullshit, let me know. If you think it's not, let me know. Let me know what you think of the episode. 617-906-66-3638. All right, we're going to do some emails right now at Disgraceland Pod. This email here from Lawrence, who writes in, let's see here, subject.

Sam Cook, March 6, 2018. He's referring to the release date that we put out the Sam Cook episode, which I believe is, yeah, that's the third episode we released. That's one day before my second son was born. And the message says, hey, just listen to this. I disagree. Things are complicated, more complicated than you reported. No, I don't think it was the mafia, his wife, or a planned hit by the motel manager. Not enough room here to express myself, so I will just say baby drowning, bad contract signing, the weight of sin, alcohol abuse, unpaid prostitute, and a murdered husband-boyfriend. And that's the message from Lawrence, who sounds like he has some information that we don't have.

So Lawrence, appreciate the email, my man, right back, or hit me back, 617-906-66-6638. If you want to talk about it further, if you want to talk about it confidentially, we can do that. Just let me know. That's what you prefer, and I won't talk about it here in this public space. This one from Rob O'Connor. This is a recent one. Rob writes in, Thank you.

That's the subject line. Hey there. Been listening since the beginning. It was disappointed to stop when the show went exclusive. Just wanted to reach out and say how happy I am that the show is available everywhere again. And I look forward to catching up on the backlog. Keep up the good work, Rob. Rob, my man, welcome back.

Welcome back to Disgraceland. We're happy to have you. And Rob, you've missed a lot. We've got a lot of episodes. a ton. Not only did we re-release all the episodes that you've missed that were exclusive. We've also upped our ante this year. We've produced twice as many episodes than we normally do. Every week we're releasing a new episode of disgrace land. You're getting back just in time. You can catch up and you're here at the perfect moment, Rob, because we right now at double

all this are getting together our plans for 2024. And let me just tell you, as it pertains to disgrace land and bad lands or sports land or Hollywood land or any of the lands, any of the storytelling we're doing, we have Boku goodness for you guys for next year. Big change is coming, we think, in a good way. Lots more content coming. Merch is coming. I've heard you. I've heard you. All year you've been reaching out to me. Where's the merch? Where's the merch? Where's the merch? I need the merch. I want the merch. Give me the merch. And I've been like, I don't have it. I don't know what to tell you, well, listen, we're starting. We're getting it back up. We're refilling the basics. And I have a plan to be re-releasing merch on a regular basis going forward. I also have a plan

that I'm working on so that we can engage more. This voicemail, 617-90666-66-38 text message thing that we've been doing. Rob, you can reach out. You don't have to just email. You can hit me on text and voicemail. We've been doing this for, I don't know, six, seven months now. It's inspired me in different ways. We have this great conversation going on. We've got this awesome community here, but I got to tell you, after six, seven, eight months of doing this, I'm feeling a little limited. I'm feeling a little constrained. It's hard. You guys text and voicemail a lot, and I no doubt sense that you are frustrated at my lack of response. I'm telling you, I'm trying to respond. It's just hard. I'm not complaining, but it's, I'm just telling you,

it's difficult when you have hundreds of texts to respond to them, all or even a few. But I'm working on a way to solve this problem, to keep the engagement going, but make it so it's a better experience for all of us. All right. More on that in the coming weeks. But this is all to say, I guess, you know, I wasn't going to do this until later, but I'll do it now. Thanksgiving is in what, two days? No, it's tomorrow. It's in one day. You're going to be getting this on Thanksgiving this episode. I'm grateful for you guys. I'm grateful for this community. I'm thankful that you're in my ear. You're calling me. You're texting me. You're hitting me up on DMs. You're listening to these episodes. They matter to you. The conversations we're having about these larger than life personalities,

be they musicians or actors in the Badlands feed or even athletes. We've talked about them as well. You guys always bring something interesting to the table. You inspire me. You make me think about how I want this podcast to live in the world and grow in the world and what I want to talk about, what I want to research, what I want to write. Same goes for the folks who work here at Double Elvis. I know Zeth Lundy is thinking he feels the same exact way as he's hearing this.

So just we are grateful. I am personally grateful. Thank you. Let's not stop. 2004 is going to be a banger of a year, all right? Enjoy your families. This Thanksgiving break, I'm going to take a quick break right here. I'll be back, though, in just a few minutes.

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 gonna get what he deserves Listen to the Girlfriends Trust me babe On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Kate Winkler Dawson, host of the Wicked Words podcast. Each week I sit down with the true crime writers behind some of the most compelling true crime stories and discuss their years spent investigating and why it still matters. He sees his father coming out of the woods with his hands over his face,

and he knows something happened. His father just grabs him and says, she's gone, she's gone. These are the cases that leave survivors, families, and the journalists who cover them changed forever. Working in national television, it'll push you to your limits, and you'll end up doing things you never thought you do. You know, you look back at it and you're like, I can't believe that really happened. Join me and step inside the investigation. New episodes drop every Monday on the Exactly Right Network. Listen to Wicked Words on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or Word.

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 aisle. Each week, we dive head first into the complete, Plex 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. All right, we are back. And before we get into your voicemail and your texts, I just want to do a quick little couple beats here on Blondie, the band, okay? Because Debbie Harry eats up a lot of the real estate when we think and talk about Blondie.

There's even some folks who have thought and always will think that Debbie Harry is Blondie, but she's not. They're a real band. They're a full band, a rock and roll band. It is not a solo act. It never has been, never will be. And I just want to say they're a great band. And when they were one of the first MTV bands ever,

and when I was a teeny tiny little boy and conscious of television, quite frankly, left alone by my parents or my babysitter to just watch television that was probably highly inappropriate to me, but nonetheless had a great deal of influence on me and who I am today, Blondie was one of the first music videos that I think I'd ever seen. Not the first. I think Adam Ant was probably the first. Clash, rock the casbah.

Sorry. Yeah, rock the casbah. But Blondie might have been, I don't know, two or three, four, something like that. So a major influence on me. Major, major, major influence on me. And still to this day, when I hear Blondie, I feel good inside. I feel nostalgic. But now I can look at it objectively.

And I can actually look at what they were doing, what they were doing with genre, what they were doing with style, what they were doing against the grain of the scene that they were in that was propelling them at the same time, they were mightily subversive and just beyond cool. Blondie, the band, and of course, Debbie Harry, the front woman. You could just, I talk about aliens landing on the planet all the time and how we would explain things to them. You could just, if you wanted to explain the word cool, you could just show them a picture of Blondie. You really could. It would do it. Just that's it. You wouldn't even need words. Just show them Debbie Harry, and they will understand what cool is. At least that's my opinion.

I understand that it's subjective. 617-906-66-3-8. Coolest-looking band of all time, okay? You need a picture to explain how cool they are. But you can do it without words. Who is it? Let me know. 617-906-66-3638 voicemail and text,

speaking of which, let's get into some voicemails right now. All right, so let's check out this voicemail from Steve in the 412. With fetus, psychic TV. It's great. All right, Steve, got to clear up some confusion here. I was talking about Mark Almond. A couple bonus episodes back. I received a bunch of voicemails like yours, Steve.

I got a bunch of DMs from some smart, informed music fans like yourself, hipping me to the fact that Mark Allman is the lead singer for the band Soft Cell. Tainted Love. Great song. Also covered by the Far Side, Revelation Records Band from way back. I think it was Far Side. No, I think it was Shades Apart. It was Shades Apart, also on Revelation.

It wasn't The Far Side. Um, anyhow, I digress. But soft cell Mark Almond, because I mentioned a song called The City that I was obsessed with by Mark Almond. Now, as soon as I heard this, I felt, oh, Jake, you moron, how did you not know that this was the guy from Soft Cell? And I was just, I just happened to see the video for Tainted Love, great video, uh, the other night as well.

And I was like, wow, this singer is really fucking interesting because I never really seen the band before, you know? So I look into it. Turns out it's not. the same Mark Almond. If you go on Spotify, you can search the city by Mark Almond. You will see what I'm talking about. And there also, Mark Almond is stylized, Mark Dash Almond.

Okay, so that got me thinking, okay, what the hell is happening here? So I looked into it, and it's actually, sometimes, they're sometimes known as the Mark Almond band. Two dudes, one last named Mark, the other last named Almond, have this sort of Jazz Fusion 70s thing that's incredible. And that's what I was getting into. Not Mark Almond from Soft Cell. But this fetus thing sounds really interesting.

And now I kind of want to reach out to Mark Almond because I've gotten so much incoming from you guys on Mark Almond fans, frankly, and Soft Cell fans. I kind of want to reach out to him and interview them for you guys and talk to him here. I think that would be a really cool thing. Definitely a lot of interest. So if you guys are interested in that, hit me up.

Just you don't have to call. You know, tech, 617-90666-6-36-3-8. See what kind of interest we can get going here for a Mark Alman from Soft Cell interview. I'll get hip on his whole catalog. Sounds like an interesting guy. It looks like an interesting guy. He's been making music for a long, long, long time and has a real fan base. And I think you'd be cool to talk to you, and I think you guys would appreciate that.

And I can even get questions from you guys as well, all right? 617-906-66. 638. Let me know if you want to Mark Almond email and we'll see what we can do. All right, let's hear from Ellie in the 909. Hey, Jake. This Ellie or Dads here from the 909, weighing in on my own burning questions I had about the Wu-Ting saga that you just did. So my favorite member is, after all, the Jiza, aka Genius.

My favorite album of his is Liquid Sword from 1995. And my favorite Wooten album as a whole group is obviously OG into 36 chambers. I'm sorry there's just no comparison. and there never will be. And then the fun fact I learned while listening to you is that Jizzle was the only member to trust the full integrity of the entire rap game to not even sign a contract to Wu record. That's kind of cool. I didn't even realize that.

It got that deep, but that's awesome. And a quick little side note is that the Jizz of Rizza and ODB shirt of Grandma. That just sounds really cool. Anyway, yeah, thanks for the series, man. It was amazing, and hopefully I hear more amazing stuff coming out of the show. Thanks. Ellie, great voicemail. Thank you.

Yeah, you know, I was talking about this with Zeth, who I mentioned earlier, Zeth writes at Double Elvis, and we talk a lot about what we're making, what most interests us about these stories. And you're hitting the nail on the head. You know, you just, you know, you said the most interesting fact for you, fun little fact. I think is how you quoted it, about the Jizz of not signing that contract, which is fascinating. But I think there's, in every episode we do,

even the Blondie Ted Bundy connection, that's a version of these sort of like, these elements of these stories that are just, they're the most interesting parts to me. You know, it's like if we're going to watch a Debbie Harry documentary or behind the music, not to slight behind the music, I love behind the music,

I grew up on it, or just any documentary, you're going to get the same story. And what we're trying to do is give you this interesting insight that's really compelling and really interesting. And I feel like oftentimes I don't do a good enough job talking about it here with you guys. So thank you, Ellie, for bringing one of these up. And it's just interesting. Your timing's perfect because Zeth and I were just talking about how are we going to do this more?

How are we going to talk more about these, how we're going to shine a light on these interesting aspects of these stories. You know, because even when I promote them, when I promote them on Instagram, where you see the metadata in your feed, or I talk about it in here, I seldom get to those, like, those weird little moments, you know, like I talked about it on, in my stories this past week regarding, I don't know why, but I was thinking of Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe and just the fact that, you know, Marilyn Monroe, everyone knows she hooked up with John F. Kennedy. You're going to watch any documentary out there about Marilyn Monroe.

They're going to talk about her affair with John of Kennedy. And the same goes for any documentary about John F. Kennedy. They're going to talk about his affair with Marilyn Monroe. But the thing that they're not going to tell you about probably is that Frank Sinatra is the one who connected them at his home in Palm Springs. And that's where they first hooked up. And that, to me, is really interesting for some reason. I don't know why it just is. Same thing with John Lennon, the John Lennon episode that we did.

We did a two-partner on John Lennon way back in season two of disgraceland, I believe. And in the research, I found all these amazing anecdotes about John Lennon. about what he watched on television, about how he was obsessed with Barbara Walters and thought she was smoking hot. You know, all this interesting stuff. And I put a lot of it into the episode. And that's just a perfect example

of what I'm talking about. There are these really interesting tidbits that the research throws off that we try to put into these episodes that you and I don't get enough time to talk about and to geek out on. And I think, honestly, that's why we're here. That's why you guys are listening to Disgraceland.

That's in part what makes it different. So again, Ellie, thanks for reminding me, us of that. And let's make a concerted effort in the new year to talk more about these weird little anecdotes that are in all these episodes. Let's do one more voicemail here, this one from the 775. All right, Stevie, thanks for leaving the voicemail. I think that's what you said your name was. If I got it wrong, I apologize, but it sounds like Stevie. And Steve, give a shout to Desiree for turning you on to disgrace land. I love that I got truckers out there driving around the world. Hard working folks out there listening to disgrace land delivering us all of our goods,

keeping the supply chain going, making sure we're getting all our gifts, all our essentials, everything for the holidays. Shout out to all of you and a big thanks for making America run on time. Appreciate it. Have not heard, life is beautiful, but you're right, it is true. It's a, it's life is a beautiful thing. You're just, you're totally right. I don't really have much to add, Beyond that. So thanks for calling in. And I see some other truckers who have called in. And unfortunately, I can't play all the voicemails here. Which brings me to this thing we got to figure out. I got to figure out how I engage with you guys more on these voicemails and texts. And I promise you, I'm working on it now. We're going to keep doing them, obviously, but we're going to find a way

to do more. That's what I'm trying to figure out with you guys. So if you're not receiving a or a text back from me right away. Be patient. I'm trying to get through them. If you're not hearing your voicemail or your text in one of these after-party episodes, it's just, it's the hard reality. We don't have that much time. Trucker Joey, I'm looking at you, okay?

Jay in the 907, I'm talking to you as well. JC in the 916, Val, from the 505. Dr. Geffner, okay? All you guys, I see you. Clinton from the 317. I see you all. Andrew from the 314, Justin from the 540. All right, I see you.

We will talk eventually. Hang in there with me. You can take a quick break, be back in a flash to do some 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. 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. you get your podcast. I'm Kate Winkler Dawson, host of the Wicked Words podcast. Each week I sit down

And overwhelmingly, this is the greatest onslaught of cuteness I've ever seen. Keep them coming. Love the dog names that are music-based. I met a dog via text named the Thin White Duke and another name Ziggy. And I thought that was really smart.

All right. So from the 317, Blondie, great episode. You had me on the edge of my seat. Love, love, love it. You got it, 317. Thanks for writing in. This one from the 862. Hey, Jake, just wanted to let you know

that I've been listening to your podcast since the beginning. It came into my life at the right time when everything was hitting the fan. So through the darkest times then and now, your voice gives me comfort and honestly, a lot of laughter. So thank you for all your casts.

Often you're literally playing in my head all night. Your voice is the best to sleep to, so I listen to all episodes on repeat all the time. Thanks again. 862. Thank you. That means a lot. Appreciate it.

Happy that I'm putting something into the world that's making somebody happy. I appreciate the message. Let's go on here to see what else we got. Some other texts from the 516. When I thought you were referencing

Mark Alman of Soft Cell, I had a great memory of the best alternative radio station ever. W-L-I-R. Love, Disgraceland. Your wonderful storyteller makes my traffic-y commute less annoying.

Thanks, 5-1-6-9-5-1 writes And, hey, did you listen to Goodbye Kiss by Casabian? Love that song. I have not listened to it, but I will. Sounds like we were talking about it, though. 760 writes in, Jake Donald here from the 760. I'm a huge disgrace land fan.

You're close about the Us Festival. It was in California, but in Southern California, near San Bernardino, to be precise, roughly 45 minutes from my house here in Apple Valley. Sadly, I was a pimply teen in Chicago then, sporting my Talking Heads concert t-shirts and not at the Us Festival in 1982 or 1983 at the Glen Helen Pavilion.

and where later on. We'd see many OzFest and the last Foo Fighters awesome Cal Jam Festival, Rockarola. 760, thanks for the correction. I think I just assumed that because it was Steve Wozniak

that it was Northern California. I stand corrected. This is a long one from the 603 says, listening to Disgracea and as I prep for Thanksgiving and wanted to take a break and respond to a few things in your bonus episode.

Oh, I've messed up. This is a rap party response, but I started it. Keep it in here. Listen, 603. Keep prepping for Thanksgiving and listening to Disgraceland. Have a good one with your family. I will answer your rap party question in the next rap party. All right? 480. Hey, this is Jay from the 480. I was at that U2 show at Sun Devil Stadium. You asked about Mark Allman at the end of that episode from Soft Cell. Maybe not the tainted love cheese you're looking for. Definitely not. We're going to get Mark, Mark Almond, to come on here. All right, we did a rewind episode last week. This is a new thing. we're doing, at least for the foreseeable future, where we are releasing, trying to get all these archive episodes out that we've talked about, right? So we released that sublime episode into your feet. This one comes from the 541 who writes, I'm listening to the sublime episode right now. I wanted to ask if you have listened to the cover album, The House Bradley Built. I wouldn't say

any of the tracks are better than the originals, but so many of my favorites recorded tracks for the album, Mad Caddies, Authority Zero, Pepper, the Supervillains, I believe the Expendables also have track. It's really good. If you haven't listened, you should. I will check that out. Thank you. There's also a couple dog pictures here from Moon and Arnold, and they are adorable. Really, really cute, especially the Pitbull. Love it. Yeah. All right, guys, 617-906-66-36-38. Let's do one more, 724. Right. Say, hey, Jake, it's Anthony. You asked for episode subjects, and you know I'm going to be both sides of my drum and requested Allison Shane Lane Lane-Stanley, Mike Star episode, and a Dolores Reardon Cranberry's episode.

Those are good ones. Those are good ones. 724. I think you're going to get one of those early next year. All right? All these texts, Jessica in the 509, 412 with more Mark Almond, the 760, Zoe and Goose in the 716, Lee in the 901. I hear you. 630.

Listen, I was just talking about that sublime rewind episode. We've got a rewind episode coming up on Chris Brown this Friday. It was originally released a little over a year ago on October 18th, 2022 as part of season 10 of disgrace land. Chris Brown, not going to lie, not a fan, not a fan of his music, not a fan of him as his person, not a fan of any of the bullshit that he's gotten up to in his life, not a particularly interesting guy in my estimation. However, the story was just too good not to do.

Just guys gotten into a lot of fucking trouble. And the major troubling event is just too dramatic for us to ignore. So we got into it. A lot of people got pissed off. Not going to lie about that. A lot of Chris Brown fans on the internet did not appreciate this episode, but I don't care. You know why?

Because you can start your own goddamn podcasts for all I. care. But I'm proud of the work we did, and I like the episode. This happens. I often cover artists that I'm not a fan of, and it doesn't mean we can't make good content out of it, which we did. It's coming Friday. Check it out. 617-90666-6638 to let me know what you think of Chris Brown, voicemail and or text. I'm going to take a quick break, and I'll be back in a flash. All right, welcome back. 617-906-6638. Question of the week is, I want to know how your Thanksgiving was. I want to know what you did. But I also want to know what content you consumed.

What do you listen to when you cook? What do you watch after that massive meal? Do you go to the movies with your family? You go in to see the Ridley Scott film, Joaquin Phoenix, Napoleon? You're going to go do that? You're going to watch something on Netflix. You're going to binge, I don't know, the whole Beatles Let It Be thing.

That was last year, wasn't it? What are you going to do? What are you going to do? I got some Marvel stuff. I got a knockout with my 9-year-old. I'm trying to get excited about it, not particularly a Marvel type of guy. But yeah, that's what I'm doing.

I'm going to watch the last waltz, parts of it anyways, as I do every Thanksgiving. I'm going to jump on Instagram tomorrow. I'm going to tell you about Bob Dylan and Martin Scorsese's beef during the last waltz. All right? You can be able to see that there, and then that'll probably end up being an episode of disgrace land at some point.

But 617-906638. I want to know what you listen to while you cooked your turkey. I want to know what you're listening to while you're eating. Thanksgiving. I want to know what content you watch. Text me, voicemail me, get into it. What is the greatest Thanksgiving content out there? What do you get? What are your go-toes? Let me know. I, you know what? I kind of need some new music to listen to. I'm tapped out. I got this one mix, the Mark Alman in the city mix that I've been telling you about that I just can't stop listening to. And I need to move on to something else. All right. At disgrace, Disgraceland Pod on Instagram, Facebook,

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. 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.
