#334. Hello friends! Kory is out of town but Dillon and Kendall have one that’s out of the oven, cooled, and ready for slicing. So pop open the Butter Bell, get the Kerrygold ready to spread, and bring us with you on the road; you have a basketball practice to get your kid to! Make sure they carb up so they can earn that NIL middle school contract. You’ll also need to make sure they keep their grades up, so maybe find s...

#333. Break out the fuzzy ears for the family photo and put on your swim trunks; Kory goes to Colorado! We hear the hunting and fishing at the Wolf Lodge is Great, so we have some tips for you…or at least some direction on how to start a new hobby. If we screwed up on any of our advice (likely), we might fix it later in a fact check. This week, after we correct our previous mistakes, we share some wacky product purchases tha...

#332. Did you like last week’s episode? Good! Because we weren’t done yet. And by “we” we mean “Kendall.” The rabbit trails include the urge to parent other people’s kids and how technology is making the McDonald’s breakfast hard-stop even more annoying. After the break, Kory shares his experience at The Sphere in Las Vegas and we share a bunch of what we’re listening to as well...

#331. Two weeks in a row! Well, for most of us, and we’re back to starting arguments that don’t exist yet but should, such as de-pantsing vs pantsing. Apparently kids these days are pranking each other by making sure they’re fully clothed. We also double-click our way into some of the events we mentioned last week. Is buying a VIP early access pass with a Q&A session when you barely know a band the same as buy...

#330. We blew the dust off the microphones and got back to work! There’s a lot to catch up on from the past few months and we get the ball rolling with some of Dillon’s travel highlighted by him getting locked in a room with his family. Kendall was busy with some trips then became an uber driver for his kids. Kory, after a crazy spring, sat around wondering where we went. After the break we share a few more specific sto...

#329. Remember when playing childhood sports in the backyard in an unorganized fashion was fun? Maybe for some of us, if we really try to remember those moments, we remember more kickball games ending in anger because someone tried to make up a rule on the spot than games ending in laughter and joy that we just had a great time. Turns out having an ump in that scenario doesn’t change much. There’s something about organi...

#328. I dare you to stay “rural” 15 times without feeling like a doofus. Also, Chat GPT is asking questions and that makes us nervous. With that out of the way, we get to hear from Dillon and his delightful reward of a vacation! Costa Rica treated him well and the all-inclusiveness of a typically not all-inclusive resort is maybe a step above other experiences. Coffee tastings from single origins, professional massages,...

#327. Happy Birthday, Dillon! We hope you got to celebrate with something like carrot cake. Carrot cake: vegetable. And I don’t care who knows it anymore. Maybe we should get a shirt made which says, “Vegetables are more easily understood the less we understand about them” and wear it all over the world to let everyone know what we’re all about. Scottie Pippin would know it by know if we did. We would also n...

#326. We’re back after a few weeks off! We begin with that explanation and honorable nod to Dillon and Kory’s grandfather. We share some of what we’ve been up to the past few weeks, then we get into discussing doing home projects with your spouse and what it looks like when plans aren’t aligned. For example, maybe we shouldn’t plant new trees until Kory is done digging himself a hole. Also, Kory has ha...

#325. Oh hi! We were just talking about matching a hat to the beard. Speaking of which, by some beard oil; the Artius Man link is below. Anyway, Kory is back and has some meal strategy to add to our previous discussion before he shares the ups and downs and ups again about his trip to Spain. He and his wife had a great time, learned what Tapas are all about, and got angry at the Spanish Home Depot. All of this raises some good ques...

#324. Ever feel old enough to get scammed but young enough to know better? Kendall does. Ever find tortillas so good you need to stow them away for a flight home only to wish a week later you would have bought more luggage to smuggle more? Dillon does. We talk for half an episode about those two things. We could have gone longer even, but we needed to discuss more important things such as regional diet sodas and the order in which ...

#323. I’m not sick, but I’m not well. It turns out those words were probably meant to help us understand our middle-aged existence as we ponder our aches and pains, overthinking, and refreshed interests. But all of it seems to be heading somewhere cool as priorities and relationships with friends and family straighten out. Balancing work and family travel, watching tv for ourselves or with our spouses, and sharing hobbi...

#322. Happy Birthday to two of our favorite young people with such bright futures! One can look forward to the freedom of driving, another can look forward to figuring out pizza. Nowhere to go but up! There’ll be some bumps along the way. Popsicles might get weird, pizza chains will lie about improvements, and lemon-lime soda will always make you think of vomit, but the mac-and-cheese and sushi at a good buffet will never dis...

#321. The thaw is underway  and we came out of our dens to record another episode! Ever find yourself showing off for nobody? If you throw a snowball into the air and perfectly roundhouse it into bits but there was no-one around to see it, did it really happen? Maybe that’s why Uber drivers wait until they have a passenger before they show off their stunt driving. Speaking of stunts, the Winter Olympics is rolling and so...

#320. It’s snack time, folks! You thought sandwiches and egg rolls were perfectly fine the way they were. And they are. But why not make them more fork friendly? It worked for burritos! Maybe the crab rangoon burrito will become so popular that it evolves again into a bowl and then we’ll have a spoonable burrito! Just ask for extra crab. It may be a little spendy, but then again, so is Dillon sometimes. After the break ...

#319. Cracking ribs, roasted mashed potatoes, and hold the bacon. If that doesn’t turn out how you hoped, maybe just order up another episode! Also on the menu is the mobster special. It comes with a trip to the back where you’ll encounter Tony. If he’s not there, just wait a few minutes. He ran back to the store to pick up tortillas for the crab rangoon (they are on sale). Should you survive Tony, you’ll th...

#318. Happy New Year! We’re back after a fun OR relaxing holiday break with our families, and we catch up on what made this holiday season special for us. Are you glad to see 2025 end?

#317. Christmas is about a week out and we’re so ready and living in the moment. Our kids are winding down school and Kory and his wife are looking to invest in the cookie business. White elephants are alive and well and the laundromat is looking better than ever! There’s a lot to love.  And then there’s the delivery companies and the customer service of online retailers who perhaps shouldn’t be in the ...

#315. Now that the youngster is on vacation, Kory and Kendall can talk about backs, shoulders, and knees acting up. AI can’t yet give us newer versions of ourselves, but it sure can give new life to old music! Or perhaps you prefer good old fashioned creativity, such as Kory’s kid’s well-crafted Christmas lists. Sometimes all your child wants is a hug, and if you only knew the joy that would follow, you’d ac...

    DISGRACELAND

    DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com. To unlock ad-free listening, exclusive content, and connect with your fellow Disgos, go to www.disgracelandpod.com to become an All Access member. Rocka Rolla.
