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, our new full episode on Sean Diddy Combs. This week's Rewind episode on The Temptations. And of course, your voicemails, your texts, your DMs, and more. And as always, a whole lot of rosy. All right, discos, let's get into it. All right, this week in Disgraceland, a brand new episode on Sean Diddy Combs. Seems about right, right?

Hip-hop mogul. Bad boys, bad boy. Notorious BIGs, BFF. A guy who just lately can't stay out of the fucking news. You've probably read or heard that Diddy has been charged with a couple, I don't even know how to describe this. We talked about it in the episode and the preamble before the episode. There were some lawsuits that were filed last month,

including one from the artist Cassie, who was Diddy's longtime girlfriend. That was settled in 24 hours, 24 hours. And then there were the accusations about a 17-year-old girl being gang raped in a recording studio accusations that Diddy forcefully denied. The fallout from all this has been huge. 18 brands have since ended their partnership with Diddy's Empower Global Project. That's an e-commerce platform designed to uplift black-owned companies that Diddy is at the forefront of. And now, I just got to say, if you guys haven't heard,

heard it yet. Our new episode on Diddy does not address, aside from the very tip top of the show, it doesn't address these allegations. We produced this episode long before and finished it long before these allegations came out. And frankly, the allegations are too fresh, they're too raw, there's too much unknown for us to really even get into it in a responsible way. So, doesn't mean there's not plenty to get into in this episode. And in a way, what we do get into in the episode informs everything that you're reading about Diddy right now in the news. What I found most interesting, you know, this episode is set around the nightclub shooting with Diddy and J-Lo in 1999 when there was a shooting. Diddy was accused of illegal possession

of a gun and bribery at this nightclub. The shooting happens. Diddy gets out of the club, hops into the Lincoln Navigator with his bodyguards and Jennifer Lopez and they screw away into the night and run like something like 11 red lights or something like that before they stopped by the cops like I said he was charged with the legal possession of a gun he was charged with robbery there were 60 eyewitnesses the woman who was shot in the face claims that did he had the gun anyways he was acquitted on these charges Now, to how this violent history informs what we're talking about in the latest episode of Disgraceland on Diddy, there's this incident in 1999 where he was acquitted, but then there

was a civil case that came later, and he settled with the victims. There was an incident also that year where Diddy got into it with a record executive at, I believe, Interscope, and a lot has been alleged. there was a beating that happened in the record executives office. That was settled out of court and rumored to be, I've read anything from half a million dollars that Diddy paid to over a million. Again, that's unofficial news. That's been reported.

That's out there. I can't say for sure if it's true, but it looks like there was a second settlement there. Then way back in 1991, Diddy was the promoter of a charity, I believe it was a charity basketball game that had a concert attached to it as well with some at the time hip hop luminaries. And this is at City College in Manhattan. There was a stampede. Three people died.

29 people were injured. And there was a settlement there as well. Okay. So you got these four settlements. What does it all say? Where are we going with this? Diddy strongly denies any wrong. doing in the allegations, the recent allegations with the 17-year-old. But there is a history of

misadventure, to say the least, to put it mildly here with Sean Combs. And I'm really interested to see where this is going. I know you are as well. And I think that the episode that we just produced on Diddy does a lot in sort of giving us context to the recent charges. So I hope you check it out. I hope you dig it. 617-906-66-6638. Call me, leave me a voicemail, send me a text. Let me know what you think of the episode. Let me know what you think of Diddy. Let me know if you think he's innocent. Let me know if you think there's anything to these charges. We can discuss it, okay? One of the items from this episode that we do get into that I find particularly interesting, and I think you guys will as well, is the issue of Diddy and Sting. And I'm not going to burn it here.

I want you to go back and listen to the episode if you haven't already. It concerns the amount of money that Diddy has to pay Sting every day in perpetuity for the rest of their lives, apparently, or forever. I don't even know, beyond their lives, beyond the grave. For Diddy's legal use, excuse me, unsanctioned use, unlicensed use of a Sting song, a police song that Stingrow. It's a staggering amount of money daily. So just check that out. out and hit me back and let me know what you think. All right? So that's Diddy. That's there now. Tomorrow in your feeds, or next up in your feeds, depending on when you're listening to this bonus episode,

we're going to have a rewind release, an episode from our archive, a previously exclusive episode, an episode that most of you have not heard, on the great Motown group, The Temptations. One of the greatest groups to come out of the Motown machine. A lot going on in this episode, what really happened to Marvin Gay's great duet partner, Tammy Terrell, the suspicious death of Paul Williams, David Ruffin's 20-year battle with cocaine. Make sure you check that out as well, all right? 617-90666-6-6-3-8.

I'm here if you want to share with me your favorite Motown artist. Is it the Jackson 5? The Jacksons, excuse me. Wait, no, yeah, Jackson 5. And then the Jacksons. No, Jackson's were ABC. Jackson 5 or Motown.

Is it Marvin Gay? Is it the Supremes? Is it the temptations? Is it smoky? Who is it? The list is endless. 617-90666-66-3-8. Also, let me know what you think of Sean Diddy Combs and what you think of that episode.

617-906-6638 voicemail, old school and new school. 617-906-6638 text at Disgracelam Pod on the socials, including Instagram, where we got some stuff going on on Instagram right now like we haven't in a long time. we seem to have made nice with the algorithm and they're promoting the hell out of these new little videos that we're doing. Which brings me to the point, what do you guys like most about what we are creating for you? To me, when I think about the content that you guys most share and you get most excited about, it's, you know, obviously this content about these, you know, larger than life personalities, but that's too broad. Specifically,

What I think it is is these holy shit learning moments, Blondie being abducted by Ted Bundy, how Michael Hutchins actually died. The Jane's Addiction, I did this little James Addiction video on Instagram. It's about Connie Navarro, Dave Navarro's mom. And in like a week, it's had 300,000 views. And we're picking up a ton of new followers. And if you're new to this show, thank you.

Thank you for being here. But again, this is all telling me that what you guys want, you know, what you like most about the actual podcast stories. And if I can extract from that and extend to, you know, Instagram and X and YouTube and TikTok, it's these holy shit learning moments. Oh my God, I did not know that. I did not know that about Blondie and Ted Bundy. I did not know that about how Michael Hutchins actually died. I did not know that about Dave Navarro from Jane's addiction. and they're all kind of dark stories.

And the other thing, it appears to me, it seems to me that you guys dig on, is the sort of shock and horror of some of these stories. Obviously, the big lurch one comes to mind, but even in this Diddy episode, just the shock of all these settled suits, the allegations that we might not know about. We know about the recent ones,

but we might not know about his past violent history. And then, of course, there's the, the tributes, the send-offs, the parts of the episodes where I like to sort of lean into the heart side of it and what I related to most, to these subjects, how I related to them most, excuse me, as artists, and what they brought into the world and what has sort of singed me and left a mark, those tributes seem to resonate with you guys as well. So my point where I'm going with all this is if you're new here, if you're old here. If you've been here, if you've been with me since the beginning of disgrace land,

or like I said, if you just found us a couple days ago, I want to know what you guys want from us, what you most respond to. 617-90666-6-6-3-8. Is it the holy shit learning moments? Is it the shock? Is it the horror? Is it the tributes? Is it something else?

Let me know. At Disgraceland Pot. Hit us up on Instagram. Follow us there. We're growing fast. I'm doing these daily videos over there. We're also on TikTok. We'll be growing over there as well.

YouTube X. We are everywhere. And of course, we are right here, 617-906666638, voicemail and text. And email, disgracelampod at gmail.com. Let's do an email right now. From Melissa Moon, subject is episode suggestion message. This may not be the appropriate avenue or even something you guys do, but I love the I love the way the stories are delivered. Jake's voice is custom made for narration. The podcast

is sleek and sexy. Hey there, and I recommend it to basically everyone I meet. You may have received this suggestion previously or just vetoed it outright, but I would love to see an episode on my favorite band, My Chemical Romance. The band has an interesting story from Gerard being robbed at gunpoint while working in a comic bookstore to 9-11 leading to the band's formation. I think you guys would do it justice. Thanks for always entertaining the way only you can. Melissa, that's a great suggestion. I didn't know. I don't know much about my chemical romance, but hey, I'm here for it and I dig it and we're going to look into it. All right. Thank you. Appreciate the email. Let's do this one here from Jason Bain, who writes in,

subject is the Riders Almanac Messages. Dear Mr. Jake Brennan, hello, Jake. I'm a huge fan of the show since episode one. I decided to write you today out of sheer anger and frustration. I'm at my construction job on a cold New England day and I forgot my ear pods. How am I supposed to drown out the sound of heavy machinery and old man grunts? I'm truly missing the sweet sounds of your voice describing a person having a much worse day than mine in a beautifully eloquent manner. But I digress. My real reason for writing is because I need some advice, any possible mentorship. I've been working on my own narrated podcast for a few years and it's fucking hard, man. I'm really struggling. Not with the technology either. I'm a music producer, drummer, engineer with my own studio gear and

I'm very able. I just dislike my own voice and writing. It's not terrible. It's just, meh. But I've also never played it for anyone or mentioned this project to anyone. The podcast is called Writers Almanac. It's a narrated series about snowboarding. All right, I'm going to go on here. He says it's definitely inspired by disgrace land, but with a different flavor. Two episodes fleshed out, tons of ideas and future episode plans. Sure, you're really busy, but this is something you could help me with. Any advice or contribution would be extremely helpful. Well, here's my advice. Keep making shit.

Don't stop. Don't stop. And play it for people. Just keep going. You can release it into the world or not. But my advice would be to make it and put it out in the world or get it to a point where you're happy to put it out into the world. And up and to that point, play it for as many people that you trust as possible.

It could be one, two, three, five, ten, twenty, however many. Get feedback. Trust your gut. And keep doing the thing. That's the key. And as for the sound of your voice, I hate the sound of my voice. I always have.

And if you're doing a narrative podcast like mine, you have to find a way to not just speak, but narrate. And you're not going to like it. I went through many iterations of recording demos and playing them for people that I trusted, my wife in particular, and being very frustrated, just like it sounds like you are,

with her just being like, you sound like an asshole. And I'm not so sure I still don't sound like an asshole. But whatever, it works. You're not supposed to sound like you. You're supposed to sound like the thing you're creating. And you're supposed to put it out into the world, a version of you. That's all it is.

And again, to get over the frustration hump, you've got to just keep, keep, keep doing it. That's all I got for you, man. Hopefully it works out. Keep me posted 617-906-66-6638 or disgracelandpod at gmail.com. I see a ton more emails. Maybe I'll answer some on, uh, on, um, Instagram looks like we picked up a lot of new followers, new listeners over the last week. Keep up the communication.

If you're new here, you know I try to do my best to engage with you guys as much as possible here in the bonus episodes on Instagram, on Twitter, elsewhere. And yeah, on phone and on text. So hit me and take a quick break back in the flash, some voicemails and some text from you guys. 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 podcast. Remember when you'd walk into your local video rental place

and there were always those two employees behind the counter arguing about movies? Well, that's us. I'm Millie to Cherico. And I'm Casey O'Brien. And now we're arguing. about movies on our podcast, Dear Movies I Love You, from the Exactly Right Network. Can I say something about the Criterion Clause? Go ahead, dude. They're letting too many people in there. Okay, that's another film, grape I got to.

Sadly, that rental place doesn't exist anymore. It's probably a store that sells running shoes. Or an ice cream shop with an extra P and an E at the end. So consider us your slacker movie clerks in podcast form. I would like to establish a timeline of the moment you figured out who changed. Channing Tatum was. Every Tuesday, we dig into the movies we can't stop obsessing over, from hidden gems to big-screen favorites. New episodes drop every week on the exactly right network.

Listen to Dear Movies I Love You on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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'd do. 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 wherever you get your podcasts. All right, we are back. Let's do some voicemails. Let's get right into it with this one from the 310. Hey, Jake, this is Eric 310. I left you a prior message. I think it was a couple months ago about reading Prince. This is about a real discreet. This is about a real discreet. graceful situation. I don't know about the, if you're familiar with the story of the coasters,

but two of the members of the coasters were assassinated. One was shot in the head, and the other one was assault with a gun. Hey, Eric, thanks for the voicemail man. I did not know this about the coasters, and it sounds like a really messed up situation. And got two, two band members, group members shot.

That's just fucking crazy. So I think we are going to get into that. I am deep at the moment, however, into researching Anthony Bourdain, not a music subject, not a bad land subject, just a iconic name out in the world subject, whom I love, that I want to cover and feature. So I'm doing that. I'm deep into it right now, Eric. I hope you dig it, whether you're a Bordane fan or not. Maybe we'll get into this Coaster's thing sooner or later. I bet we will.

we're always in need of material. And yeah, guys, we talked about combining the feeds a couple weeks ago or last episode. I guess it's been an ongoing conversation. I haven't made a firm decision yet, but like I said, I'm researching this Bourdain episode, and I don't think it's going to be in Badlands. I think it's going to be our own thing. And I've got a Hunter S. Thompson hankering and William S. Burroughs hankering as well. and it feels like

it feels like disgrace land is going to expand slightly beyond just specific music stories into stories that are just dark stories about icons really like we've been doing

but I think if we do do this I'm going to keep it very musical Anthony Bourdain you know even though he was a chef and you know had a travel television show was a writer, wrote books. Very rock and roll type of guy. Same with Burroughs, same with Hunter S. Thompson.

Even when I think of larger than life figures who are athletes, you know, like Michael Jordan, it's very easy for me to relate what Michael Jordan does and the quote unquote art of what he does to music and to culture. And I think, you know, were we or slash, you know, are we to go into that in that direction? That's likely the tact we will take with the non-music stories. We will keep them musical. And I'm really just interested in the darkness that drives some of these folks from whatever discipline. And everything will stay music focused.

It will largely be, you know, on average, more music stories than not. But that's where we're going. I don't know how I got from the coasters to Anthony Bourdain to Michael Jordan. But see, we can do this. All right. Let's do another voicemail here. All right, this one from the Netherlands. Let's check out this voicemail right here.

Hey there. Greetings from the Netherlands. Big fan of the podcast. I was actually curious if you should ever do an episode on James Taylor because he had a very interesting career. I'm a big fan of his. have been a big fan most of my life, thanks to my father and a history of substance use disorder and has pretty much come out on top to be a pretty successful, chill guy. Anyway, that's all.

Take care and have a great day. Yo, thanks for the call. Appreciate it. Yeah, I was actually thinking about doing a James Taylor episode the other night. I was watching TV. I watched these really awful music video channels on the Samsung cable TV thing or whatever on demand. whatever it's called. And I've talked about that before, but James Taylor came on and it was a vintage

70s live thing. And I was like, God, there is a story here. I know there's a story. I know there's the whole thing with the heroin abuse and he's a fascinating guy and people love him and he's a huge name. So yeah, at some point and also doing an episode on him will give me the opportunity to tell my James Taylor story. Being from Boston, it's hard not to have a James Taylor story. And I don't want to burn it here because it's a good one.

But yeah, Zeth, if you're listening, I think we put James Taylor on the schedule for end of next year as we're figuring out our programming here. All right, 617-906663-38. Hit me with your voicemails. Hit me with your texts. Let's do a couple texts here.

505 writes in, hey, I drove Parliament Funkadelic around for three days. There were fucking nuts. Keith Richards has nothing on them. George Clinton had his own limo. Damn it. All right. All right. Are you saying we should do a parliament episode? I'm here for that, for sure. 9-01 writes in, Lee from Memphis, loved the Jane's addiction episode. First song I ever heard of theirs was Jane says, maybe the best two-cord songs ever. Prove me wrong. That's interesting. What are the best two-cord songs? You can't say Louis-Louis. That's three chords. You keep. two chords and you're really, really, really shortening, shortening the length of the pool, as they say. Do people say that? I don't think they say that. 9-01 goes on to say, you mentioned the cult. I have to respectfully disagree about their live performance. Love this band and I've seen them three times live and they're still going strong and singing in the original key, unlike many

older bands playing about a half step down. Much love to you and thanks for being so accessible. I'm still campaigning for a Shannon Who episode. Tragic. Shannon Houn, we will do Blind Mellon at some point for sure. Yeah, I don't want to argue with you about the cult live because like I said, I've only seen them once and, of course, talk to people who have seen them as well. I know they played recently. I had some friends who saw them in Los Angeles, and I saw some of the Instagram videos that were going around, and it looked fucking incredible. What I'm talking about, however, is just back in the day. And I'm talking about my experience subjectively. So I hope you're right. I hope they're great live because they're a great fucking band. And I want them to be great. And I want them to be out there spreading the love.

530 writes in, Hey, Jake, Zach from 530. I loved the Jane's Addiction episode. Having been an early teen in the early 90s, Ben Cod Stealing was always on MTV. You couldn't miss it. The video was creepy. Gave me weird vibes.

Couple ideas for a new episode, Rise and Shine, a menu recipe inspired shorts in the morning, afternoons, or evenings, which focus on food. Who doesn't like? food. Example, Elvis sandwich, peanut butter, bacon, and banana.

I can't do a food podcast. I appreciate the creativity. But that ain't me. I did do a guested on a podcast about Elvis's million dollar sandwich with the Midland guys. You can find that. The Country Bend Midland has a podcast. Some great guests, Matthew McConaughey, Cheryl Crow. And I jumped on.

It's all about busting these myths. And I talked about Elvis in the, I think it's called the million dollar sandwich. 630 writes in, hey, Jake, long time. Listener, both disgrace land and badlands. My favorite so far has been Jerry Lee Lewis. Just finished the Jane's Addiction episode and the bonus episode. On a separate note, I would love it if you consider doing a sports true crime podcast. Well, and then he goes on to mention Lawrence Taylor, OJ, Michael Irving, Frank, Frank from the 630.

Listen, dude, we fucked with this a little bit with a thing called Sportsland. And we had those sports episodes. We have them, actually, in the Badlands episode, in the Badlands Feed, excuse me. We have episodes on, as you mentioned, Lawrence Taylor and O.J. Simpson and a bunch of others. Pete Rose, Ty Cobb. We did a whole thing on European soccer, a whole season on European soccer. Oscar Pistorius, Aaron Hernandez. is. And like I said earlier, I think we're going to start messing around with, I'm thinking

to do a Kobe Bryant episode, more about the, well, I really don't know, actually. I need to do more research on it. But I have an idea on an angle. So yeah, I think for some of the more iconic sports stars who have dark stories associated with them, we will be covering that here in the disgrace land feed. But in the meantime, check out Badland, subscribe there, go back in the archive, and you'll find those episodes you're asking for on Lawrence, Lawrence, Taylor, and others. All right. All right, this bonus episode is already getting long. I'm going to take a quick break, 617-90666663.

I'll be back into Flash. There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of The Girlfriends, Oh my God, this is the same man.

I've been doing this, you know, trying to recommend music and trying to do it as, you know, I get into the booth here. My head just goes all bluey and I forget what I'm listening to and I've been listening to. So what we've been doing lately is just I've been going into my Spotify history for the last week and just, regurgitating here what I've been up to what I've been listening to is a way to kind of keep track of this Vince Giroldi you all know him as the uh the musician who did the Charlie Brown stuff and and some of you probably know that he had his own trio and he made his own music and it's fucking

fantastic and you need to check out the Vince Gioraldi trio you will go way beyond the peanuts and the Charlie Brown stuff and it's a good good sort of non-Christmas Christmas vibe okay I've been digging on classic Christmas songs so far, all right, the Bing Crosby's of the world, the Ella Fitzgeralds of the world. As we get closer to the big day, I'm going to seg into sort of the more alternative stuff coming to mind immediately, all the sort of great garage Christmas songs, the 90s sort of weirdo shit, like low, all that. Going to get into it.

I am still digging on the new Queens of the Stone Age record. in Times New Roman, the more I listen to it, the more I love it. If you haven't heard this record and you're a fan of rock and roll, check that out. Something happened to me last night that musically, I love when this happens. I love when I hear a song. I was just on Instagram and this guy Johnny, Johnny Vinyl, who's a fan of the show here, Disgrace, and who I talk with a bit on Instagram. He just posted this video of himself.

uh sorry of his record player playing dark side of the moon and it's just you know you know the audio wasn't great and the video wasn't you know it's just what i said it was and but the music is so fucking good and the production is so good i just found it to be arresting it just it just smacked me in the face and i've heard this so many times before you know does this happen to you guys it must it must happen to you where you just hear this thing you've heard a gazillion times you don't even think about it anymore. It's become so wrote and it just knocks your socks off and that's what Dark Side of the Moon

did to me last night and will probably continue to do for me throughout the rest of my life. It's that good of an album. Johnny had some good stats on it by the way. It's something like 900 weeks on the Billboard 200.

It's the number four I believe number four top selling album of all time. If that's true, that is phenomenal. So, needless to say, I don't need, you don't need anyone to recommend Pink Floyd's dark side of the moon to you, but here I am doing it anyways because it's authentic and it happened and there you go. Also, if I can be self-promote, I am going to for just one moment here. Parents, okay, parents, we have this new show that Double Elvis just produced with our partner's Starglow Media. It's a kid show. Our friend, Nikki Lynette, who if you guys are fans of the show about a girl, she hosts this new kid show we have called Music Land Stories.

disappointed. 617-90666-6-36-3-8 real quick this week. Tomorrow, our rewind episode is on the Temptations. This was originally released by us on May 31st, 2022 as part of season nine. We described it then as the following. The temptations were one of Motown's signature vocal groups, and they remain one of the most successful R&B acts of all time. But fame and drugs corrupted them from the beginning. Line-up changes were as frequent as their chart-topping hits, and eventually their Rocky Road led to drug addiction, crippling paranoia, routine backstabbing, and one of the most tragic deaths in the history of the Motor City. Timeline-wise, we're doing this because the Temptations member, Eddie Kendricks, is born on December 17th, 1939, and we're releasing this episode on December 14th,

so pretty close. Also, you know, if you need another recommendation, Eddie Kendrick's is a 172 solo album, people hold on. It's fucking awesome. So check that out. All right, 617-90s. 66638. Here are some questions that I would like some answers from you guys on, frankly. All right. What is your favorite Motown group of all time? Okay. Speaking of Motown, speaking of great record labels, what's your favorite record label of all time? Okay. The label where it didn't matter what they put out, you were buying it. When I was growing up, that was Revelation Records. It was Discord Records. For a moment, it was Victory Records, a label that my band actually ended up on.

which was a huge thrill for us. But when we were kids, we just had these record labels that we would buy. It didn't matter. It did not matter what they put out. We were going to buy it. Also, do you want a disgrace land vinyl? What would we put on the disgrace land record? What would it be?

And would you buy it? Would you? I would. I have some ideas. 617-90666-36-38. Let me know what you think. Let me know what your favorite record labels are. Let me know what your favorite Motown artist is.
