Hey, Discos. Need a little more Disgraceland 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 afterparty.

Welcome to the Disgraceland bonus episode, a little thing we like to call the after party. This is the show after the show, the party after the party, the bridge to get you from one full episode of Disgraceland to the other, the backyard to dig into the dirt. On this bonus episode, we are talking about this week's full episode subject,

on Frank Sinatra, a part two episode on Frank Sinatra, actually. We're rewinding back to Studio 54, previewing our upcoming episode on The Replacements. We get into your voicemails, texts, DMs, thoughts on the books we're reading, the music we're listening to, the film and television we're watching, and, and, and we dig into the Diddy verdict fallout. And as always, a whole lot of Rosie. All right, discos, let's get into it.

It's not often that a jury in a federal trial for racketeering answers our Disgraceland question of the week for us.

But guys, that's what happened. By now, you know that Sean Diddy Combs was deemed not guilty of racketeering conspiracy and not guilty of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion. He was found guilty of two lesser counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. So in light of our recent part two episode on Frank Sinatra, we asked, was Frank Sinatra the most gangster musician of all time? And according to the jury in the Sean Combs trial, no.

Sean Combs, at least, is not the most gangster musician of all time, at least if we're going by the book. Now, I don't know, just because he got off on the more serious charges, I cannot unsee Sean Diddy Combs viciously beating on Cassie Ventura. And yeah, impossible to accept.

But does that make him guilty of racketeering? No, it does not. And as our recent Sinatra episode points out, Frank got violent with the opposite sex too, at least if we're to believe Peter Lawford's story about Frank putting that woman through the plate glass window. Now, like most of you guys...

I read a ton of books. I read more than I spend, I spend more time reading, I should say, more than I spend my time on TikTok. And I got to say, I'm pretty annoyed by the Sean Diddy Combs corner of TikTok, the Jaguar rights, the wild claims about A-list celebrities involved in Diddy's worst crimes. Now, of course, none of that came out in trial. And I'll admit there was a moment there where I thought it might.

But I was never convinced, which is why in the recent Diddy episode that we released, I based it entirely on the indictments and the publicly available legal documents at the time. And most everything in that episode, that came out in the trial, as I expected it would. Everything in our disgrace and part two Sean Combs episode, most of that was touched upon in the recent Sean Combs trial.

And of course, the trial gave us more details, stuff that I didn't have, stuff that none of us had beforehand. But the trial did not give us anything that the TikTok gossip merchants were peddling like gospel. Okay?

The new Sinatra episode, it's based on real information, information that I found in a recent book called Frank Sinatra and the Mafia Murders. It was released just two years ago. And it's based on sourcing from recently released Los Angeles police intelligence files and a whole cache of new FBI documents that the authors got their hands on. Now,

None of it was taken from ex-wise guys with YouTube channels or TikTok accounts. And as you've likely heard by now, Sinatra's involvement with the mafia is pretty damn disgraceful and more gangster than what Sean Combs was officially found guilty of, at least as far as the official record is concerned. Now, speaking of records, switching gears here a little bit, Nirvana's unplugged.

It's getting its 30th anniversary remaster and re-release. And that reminded me that I bought this album on vinyl when it came out. I still have it and I still listen to it. And I kind of want to get this remaster and AB the quality to see if there's actually any difference between the original that I have and the new remaster. How's your record collection doing? Okay. Let me know. Let me know if you got anything you're excited about recently.

I'm super excited on the reading front. I talked about this, I believe, in the all-access portion of last week's After Party episode, but I'm super excited about the Chris Whitaker book that I'm reading called We Begin at the End. It reads, you know, I've got Nebraska from Bruce Springsteen on my mind. It's been a theme the last couple of weeks here, but it reads like Nebraska sounds. The book is sparse. It's poetic. It's thrilling. It's

filled with characters that are barely hanging onto a world is trying to shake, shake them loose.

Chris Whitaker has a new book out right now that a ton of people are freaking out over. It's number three on the New York Times bestseller list at the moment, I believe. I haven't read that yet, but I'm psyched too. That one's called All the Colors of the Dark. You're probably going to hear about that, but when you do know that the book, his first book called We Begin at the End is tremendous. This guy's a serious, serious author and I can't wait to read all his stuff, but especially this new one, All the Colors of the Dark.

I've also just finished reading Brian Wilson's autobiography called I Am Brian Wilson, and I'm here to say that I am Jake Brennan, and this book broke my heart. I'm having a hard time writing this Brian Wilson episode this week. It's hard to find something original to say about a guy who so much has already been said about.

But I think I found a unique way into Brian's incredible story. And I'll have this episode ready for you guys shortly. I can't wait to bring it to you. But before that, coming up next in your feed, we've got our rewind into our Studio 54 episode. Of course, lots of sex, lots of drugs, dead dude trapped in the walls.

Federal agents crashing the whole party. It's a whole thing, man. That's coming up next in your feed right after the bonus episode. Then after that, next Tuesday, we're bringing you our episode on The Replacements, a punk rock, rock and roll, cautionary tale of self-destruction.

if there ever was one okay when you're listening to this replacements episode guys i want you to be thinking about which band or artist never made it big but should have not that the replacements weren't big they're they're legends in their own right but you gotta you gotta understand people who were around then expected the replacements to be tom petty and the heartbreakers okay to be the 1980s version of the rolling stones okay

That didn't happen. They weren't as big as most believe they should have been. And we all know bands like this. We all have even friends who are in bands who were great bands, great musicians that never got the due that they deserve. So let me know.

Are the Replacements the best example of that? Or are there other bands, perhaps other artists that we should know about that you might want to turn on other Disgraceland listeners, the other discos onto these artists, onto these bands that are more unknown, that never really broke through, that should have. Okay. Call us 617-906-6638. DM us at DisgracelandPod and your answers might land in next week's after party. That's it from my world this week. Okay. I could have spent

Of course, an hour at least talking about Sean Combs. I've been doing radio interviews all day across the country. Maybe you're driving around Wichita, Kansas, Chicago, Detroit. Those are the ones I've done so far today. And you might hear me. I don't know. We'll see. Got more lined up for tomorrow. But right now, I got your voicemails, your texts, and your DMs lined up right on the other side of this break.

I don't know how you guys have been feeling, but a couple weeks ago, about three weeks ago, I woke up and I was just feeling awful. And it wasn't anything new. I've been feeling like crap for a while. I weighed myself and then I did one of those BMI, body mass index tests. Turns out I'm overweight and I didn't, I had no idea. I walk around the world thinking I'm in pretty good shape.

And I'm not so overweight that it's that noticeable. But for me, the way I felt was certainly different. So I'm like, I got to lose some weight. I got to do something. I'm getting older. I got to take better care of myself. So I've been trying to eat right, watch what I eat, not eat as much. And I've found that lean has been super helpful in this quest.

So have you guys heard of this thing called caraluma, C-A-R-A-L-L-U-M-A? I hadn't. It's an edible cactus. It grows in India and it's a natural appetite suppressant. Caraluma is just one of the natural ingredients that the doctors added to the lean weight loss supplement.

Now, I'm not the type of person who's going to inject anything into his body to lose weight. You might be, and that's cool, whatever. But if you have some aggressive weight loss goals and injections aren't for you, then here's what the doctors who formulated lean have said about Karoluma.

They said, this supplement is as close as we've come to the benefits of those popular injections. So lean, it was created to help you maintain healthy blood sugar and help control your appetite and your cravings. But the rare ingredients in lean are also designed to help burn fat by converting fat into energy, which is incredible, which makes you feel better. It makes me feel better anyways.

The best part, no needles, just results. And I'm living proof, okay? In the past week and a half, I have dropped weight. I'm feeling better. I'm gonna keep going here with lean. I'm psyched on these doctors. They created a healthier way to lose weight by capturing the power of natural ingredients like Karoluma. It's a smarter way to do things.

It's the one across the hall. I'm hanging on the telephone. You want to send me a voicemail? You want to send me a text? Hit me up. Voicemail and text. This week's question of the week in relation to Frank Sinatra, who's the most gangster musician of all time? Karen Reid.

Karen Reed writes in, hey Jake, Karen Reed from the 281 Sugar Land, Texas. Not a Karen and not that Karen Reed. I'm responding to your question of the week. Frank Sinatra is definitely the most gangster actor, celebrity musician. I'm re-listening to the Frank Sinatra episodes right now. When you listen, I mean really listen. You need a string board to connect all the characters, historical places, events, times, and romantic liaisons. You got me started down so many rabbit holes.

With the new episode two, Judas Campbell, Exner, Allura Gooding, a.k.a. Dorothy Lima, the Calneva Casino, CIA conspiracies. And I need to know more.

She goes on to say, not having your podcast on my commute or any time would be a disgrace. P.S. Diddy is gangsta, less class, unfortunately charismatic for those he befriended and brought into his web of perversion, ruthless, and sexual depravity. I hope he gets what's coming. If he doesn't, that's a disgrace. Happy 4th to you and the team at Double Elvis. Happy 4th of July to you as well, Karen Reed.

Happy to hear you beat the rap. I'm just kidding. I know nothing about the Karen Reid case, and I know you're not the real Karen Reid. We had a pretty extensive conversation last week about great singer-songwriters, greatest singer-songwriters of all time. If you remember, we went through that list, and I heard from a lot of you, and there were some serious singer-songwriters who were left off of that list. You guys have reminded me of a ton.

Eric727 writes in, Hey Jake, two singer-songwriter albums that would definitely be on my list are Graham Parsons' Grievous Angel and Tom Waits' Frank's Wild Years. Love the show, so keep doing what you do. Erica, it's interesting to hear you put Grievous Angel ahead of GP. They're both fantastic. I think GP is a smidge better and really hard for me to pick a favorite Tom Waits album. I don't know if I did though. I love Frank's Wild Years. I don't know if that would be it.

Maybe Swordfish Trombone. I love Bone Machine too, even though it's later.

Kind of messed up that both those artists weren't on the list. Leonard Cohen was also left off the list. Someone else pointed out Billy Joel, Elton John. 302 writes in,

Oh, I need to hear that. That's going to make me sad though. 415 writes in, hey, Joni Mitchell, how could she be left off the list? It's a really good, really good point. That's Glenn in the 415. 617 writes in, favorite singer songwriter album is Living With Ghosts by Patti Griffin. That's a bold statement, 617. I would expect nothing less from somebody back in my hometown. 617,

724. Hey, Jake, just listen to your after party episode. You asked about great singer songwriters. I got to say my favorites that you didn't mention were Gordon Lightfoot and Marty Robbins, and both can be seen as some of the most successful, especially for the genre. Marty Robbins. I get, Oh devil woman, Gordon Lightfoot on the other hand. I mean, I get it. I get the love for Gordon Lightfoot. Not one of my faves. Man,

Maybe it should be. I love Beck's Sea Change, and people often say that Sea Change by Beck is a Gordon Lightfoot ripoff. I think it's more of a Serge Gainsborough ripoff, but I don't know. Get back at me, 724. Let me know where to start with Gordon Lightfoot. God, these messages on the singer-songwriter stuff are quite, they're pretty endless here. 540 writes in, brings up Steve Earle, 540, Stephen in the 540, 540.

Steve Rowe, one of the all-time greats. I have a couple funny stories about Steve Rowe. I've probably shared them with you guys before. I won't belabor it. All right, let's check out this voicemail here. Again, on the same subject, here's the 414.

Hey, Jake, this is Rain. I am calling to respond to your after show the other night, actually last night. And you were talking about singer-songwriters. And I do not understand why no one mentions Tom Waits as an incredible singer-songwriter. He is beyond amazing. And also Nick Cave.

I know that he sometimes writes with his band, but I believe that he writes a lot of stuff himself. So I was hoping that maybe you guys could think about doing episodes on them. That would be amazing. Yeah. And oh, hell damn. There was another thing that I thought of, but I'm going to have to call you back. All right. You take care. All right, Rain. Call us back when you remember what you wanted to say. I just talked about Tom Waits and, you know, I can add a little bit here.

When I was just starting out as an adult and making music, if you asked me which artist's career would I want to replicate, the answer would have been Tom Waits for sure. Of course, I wasn't doing anything even close to approaching the greatness that Tom Waits was doing, nor was I really trying that hard. Nick Cave, tremendous as well.

This is really hard. There's no way you can come up with 10, a list of 10 of the greatest singer-songwriters. There's just, there's too many you have to leave off. You're going to leave Nick Cave off that list? PJ Harvey? PJ Harvey? Leonard Cohen?

No, you can't. Hey, Jake, this is Clint from the 724 Triad Jim Carroll Catholic Boy for Singer-Songwriter Album. I think he wrote most of the songs on that album and the production and everything on it is killer. It's just a good one from the late 70s, bro. Keep it up. You do a good job. Thanks, man. Bye. Clint and the 724. I actually don't know that record that well. I mean, I've heard... I think that's the one that has...

People Who Died and whatever the other song, single was that got some traction. I know those tunes, of course, even though I can't think of the other one's name right now, but I don't know that as an album. So great recommendation. And I'm pumped to be reminded to check out Jim Carroll. Jim Carroll should be an episode of Disgraceland. I've never seen the Basketball Diaries, by the way. Have you guys? I have not. 617-906-6638. You want to hit me up, leave a voicemail or a text.

at DisgracelandPod on Instagram, TikTok, X, and Facebook, if you want to get in touch with me over there. Kelly Van Violet Sibling. I believe I'm pronouncing that correctly, but I'm probably not right. And hey, I just happened to listen to the podcast, your podcast for the Beach Boys in the last two days on Disgraceland. I finished it up this morning on my way to work, and I can tell you what the Beach Boys meant to me growing up.

As somebody whose mother grew up in the 60s, somebody who was heavily influenced on this music, I am deeply saddened to hear the news about Brian Wilson. Thank you for sharing your stuff. You know, I got to say here, Kelly and everybody else, when the news about Brian Wilson's death hit, you know, it didn't really affect me one way or another. Old rock stars die all the time. Oftentimes, rock stars die, and you can immediately feel the hole and feel

We felt that. I felt that with other people. I didn't feel it myself. But now that I've been in this research and writing for the last week and a half on Brian Wilson, I do feel a tremendous amount of sadness. This guy, and I knew all this before, but when you get into his head, especially in the autobiography, he was not only a genius, not only a hugely important cultural figure in our culture, he was also...

A man who was largely a child. And I don't mean that in a negative way. I mean that in kind of the best way. And his mental illness certainly had something to do with that. He was taken advantage of. He... It's...

it's really rough because there's so much innocence in his songs, innocence and beauty. And I've listened to that sort of 90s, late or early 90s, I believe it's 1991, the Love and Mercy track, that album, but that song, Love and Mercy, I should say, I don't think that's any of the album, but the song Love and Mercy, it's just been on repeat the last few days. And it's

It's wrecked me. It's so simple. It's so beautiful. It's such a fantastic representation, I think, of who Brian Wilson was as a person, as a character. And I'm a bit wrecked by it. And I'm looking forward for all of you, you especially, Kelly, hearing this Brian Wilson episode. So thanks for writing. You guys want to hit me up at disgracelandpod on the socials. Go for it.

Wicked Wanda writes in, in relation to Sean Diddy Combs, he is guilty like OJ. Wicked Wanda and everybody else, I feel your pain. You know, I just circling back to the Diddy thing here. I have this one thought, and I've been talking about this all day. We can't unsee what Sean Combs did to Cassie Ventura, but he wasn't on trial for that. And I do think he's guilty of things if they weren't proven. Two things can be true at once.

I can't exactly say what those things are. I don't know. I don't think really anyone truly knows who's on the outside like we are. But I think it's also possible that the government overreached here, and that's why we ended up where we ended up. Shocking. I don't think the guy's going to do any time. I mean, he'll do some time, but not real time. So yeah, you're OJ comp. It might be entirely accurate. Wicked Wanda. Thanks for checking in. All right, let's switch gears here. Let's get into our little...

section of the show. This is a 60-second sports rant in under 30 seconds or whatever we're calling this segment for the discos who are also sports geeks like me. All right, Matt, give me the buzzer. Give me the little buzzer beater thingy. All right, listen. Sports world. Kind of dead right now. Okay? Not a lot going on. I don't care about tennis or the WNBA beating the piss out of Caitlin Clark. What the hell is that all about, by the way? Like I said, not a lot going on. So I did a quick Google search.

Of the five greatest sports movies of all time. And Vulture gave me the following. Number five, Foxcatcher. Never seen it. Number four, Bull Durham. Great. Might be too high on this list. Number three, Rocky. Wrong answer. This should be number two. Two, they have here in Vulture on the list. Number two, Raging Bull. That's also the wrong answer. That should be number three. Number one, Hoop Dreams. Great, great, great movie, but wrong. The correct answer is...

To the question of what is the greatest sports movie of all time? Well, that is, of course, Slapshot from 1977 featuring Paul Newman, the Hanson Brothers, and Eddie Shore's old-time hockey. Tell me I'm wrong. 617-906-6638. I'll be back in a flash. For decades, he was untouchable. A mogul, a visionary, a king of hip-hop, Sean Diddy Combs built an empire from the ground up. But now, it is all coming undone.

Jesse Weber hosts Law and Crimes, the rise and fall of Diddy, the federal trial, a front row seat to the biggest trial in entertainment history. Sex trafficking, racketeering, prostitution, allegations by federal prosecutors that span decades, and witnesses who are finally speaking out.

Each week, Law & Crime is breaking down the courtroom drama as it happens, from explosive testimony to behind-the-scenes legal strategy to the questions on everyone's mind. How far will he fall? Or will he walk free, but with a reputation in ruins?

The spotlight is harsher, the stakes are higher, and for Diddy, there may be no second chances. You can listen to the rise and fall of Diddy, the federal trial, exclusively on Wondery Plus. Join Wondery Plus in the Wondery app, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify right now.

You can spend time trying to pronounce financing, or you can actually finance and buy your car today on Carvana. Financing subject to credit approval. Additional terms and conditions may apply. All right, guys, welcome back to the show. We are back, back, back, back this week. The Hollywoodland Minute is brought to you by Roman Polanski. Sort of. That doesn't really make sense, but you know what I'm talking about. The Hollywoodland episode that we're featuring this week is on Roman Polanski. Okay? From Chinatown to Exile, Oscar acclaim to extradition battles.

And all kinds of other disgraceful things that I'm not going to get into here. You need to subscribe to Hollywoodland to hear this episode, okay? And of course, in addition to this episode this week, Zeth and I, my guy Zeth, guy who writes most of the Hollywoodland episodes, he and I, every week, we're doing a whole other bonus thing over there. It's called The Rap Party, right in the Hollywoodland feed, all right? Complete with our recommendations, our movies, music even, all right? Matt, give him a little taste. Give him a little bit of The Rap Party.

Jake, what's going on, brother? It's Tony from the 206. Just listened to the Romy Polanski episode and thought about the question you asked about are you able to separate the artist from their art, the creator from their art. And honestly, it's more easier for me to do in movies than it is, say, music, for example. Like, I know a lot of people that will still watch a John Wayne film.

Yeah.

You know, and I guess with Roman Polanski, it's kind of like with some of his work telling on himself in a way, I don't know. But that's just my take on it, man. Much love to you. Much love from the 206. Hope you're having a good summer. Stay hydrated, brother. Tony in the 206. Great to hear from you. Great way to frame this question when you're comparing the transgressions of film directors and musicians, right?

I think maybe, put the telling on yourself aside, piece aside for a second, but the, I don't know, is music just more personal? Is that what it is, Seth? Is that what makes it harder? I think it could be. I think there's a big part of what the music that you listen to being such a part of your identity in a way that the movies that you watch aren't part of your identity, but

I don't have a fast, clear answer for why that is the case, but music has always been such a part of who you are. Yeah, certainly for me. But movies, too, to some degree. I don't know. Woody Allen is certainly in Manhattan telling on himself, to use Tony's phrase. But I still love that movie.

And I guess, I don't know. I don't know if it's different between musicians and directors for me.

All right, guys, that's Hollywood land. That is available wherever you get your podcast. That's our little, you know, our corner of the, of the, of the movies and true crime annex from history.
