Who was the Count linked to Jim Morrison's death?
This is exactly right. On the Look Back At It podcast. 1979, that was a big moment for me. 84 was big to me. I'm Sam Jay. And I'm Alex English. Each episode, we pick a year, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. With our friends, fellow comedians, and favorite authors. Like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s. 84 was a wild year. I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Listen to Look Back At It on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Your 20s can be so exciting, but they can also be really overwhelming, confusing and honestly just kind of lonely. May is Mental Health Awareness Month and the psychology of your 20s is breaking down the science behind the biggest roadblocks we face.
I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks and just the first one in, the last one out, and I ended up burning out. There was a large chunk of my 20s that I was just so wanting to be out of that phase, out of my skin, and I just really regret not living in the present more. You don't need to have everything figured out right now. You just need to understand yourself a little bit better. Listen to The Psychology of Your 20s on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Sometimes a suspect is found guilty before a verdict is ever read in court. On the Wicked Words podcast, I talk with the writers who dig deep into the cases that changed history, including Marsha Clark, who went from prosecuting one of the most famous murder cases to writing crime fiction. It doesn't matter that you didn't take part in the murder. If you were at the scene at all, you're guilty of murder. Every week, the real story is revealed. Join us every Monday for new episodes of Wicked Words. Listen to Wicked Words on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Disgraceland is where I tell the stories I didn't want told, the kind you'll end up telling someone else. All right, discos, let's get into it.
All right, discos, listen, my hair is on fire this morning as I'm putting together this after-party bonus episode for you. I woke up thinking about Taylor Hawkins and the fact that we still don't have an official cause of death for the iconic drummer, as discussed in our recent episode on the Foo Fighters. And so I made myself an espresso. I popped on my noise-canceling headphones, crawled back into bed. with my laptop though and i googled famous rock stars with unknown causes of death and surprise there are literally none zilch nada zero but i don't want to beat a dead horse i want to beat an entirely different horse actually horse as in h as in heroin so somehow that google search is That led me into this Jim Morrison wormhole.
Now, I know, well-trodden territory over here for us at Disgrace Inn. A new horse on a beaten path, so to speak. But really, what I found is fascinating. I think I knew this. I think I knew that there was never an autopsy for Jim Morrison. And I'm pretty sure I knew that it was closed casket.
