Speaker 1 (0:01) This is exactly right. Speaker 1 (0:06) I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 3 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous situation that destroyed two families. It's a scorched earth war that shows just how far someone will go to get what they want. Cindy said I had to choose between the truth and my family, and I had to choose the truth. Listen to Season 3 of Burden of Guilt on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Jake Brennan, and on my podcast, Disgraceland, I tell the stories behind music's biggest names, the moments that changed music history forever. Sonic Youth was cool, but was the band cooler than the couple on the cover of their album, Goo? Cool enough to escape the glare of the international paparazzi? Cool enough to escape murder? Disgraceland is part of the Exactly Right Network. Listen to new episodes every Tuesday. Bonus episodes Thursday.

Speaker 1 (1:25) You know, I did an interview, and they're like, have you heard about this Jonas Brothers thing? And they're like, what did you think of it? And I was like, well, I mean, it's reciprocal. We talk about Kevin's confession, Michael's reaction, and a whole lot more. Our conversation with Michael Buble is out now.

This is the show where we step into the past through our old episodes and emerge from the other side with brand new feelings, case updates, and more. Today we're rewinding to episode 107, the much-talked-about episode. It's called Live at the Revolving Stage at the Celebrity Theater in Phoenix. Legendary. This episode originally came out on February 8th, 2018. So let's listen to the intro of episode 107. Speaker 1 (3:34) Okay, great. This is my side. Hi! Speaker 1 (3:45) This is, I think by the end of the night I'm going to pass out. This is too much. Also, I do not like, there's like full butt signing at certain times. There's just nothing you can do. I've been laying on the couch for two years. How does it look? How about this? Let's just talk to each other. This is like some terrible political special on Comedy Central. It's really act like our opinions matter the most. This is a first. Hi. I can tell my guilt's just kicking in because I just feel really bad for everyone immediately behind me every time I move. I think that's how it's supposed to work. Oh, and now. Constant, oh, are you mad? Okay, then are you mad? It's like Thanksgiving. But have you noticed, Karen, we've already started to turn? Oh, yeah. Speaker 1 (4:49) I thought my pill was kicking in, but it turns out. Let's do this. Let's have a moment of silence for one whole rotation. And then... Speaker 1 (5:03) Yeah, this is Caesar-inducing. Listen, the first thing that needs to happen is I have to apologize for my hair for the second night in a row. My hair has gone insane. I can't control it. I didn't bring the proper instruments to get into it and train it. I'm using a very small straightener as a curling iron, which a lot of you know is a huge mistake. You, sir, you know what that's like. It looks good back here. Does it? Yeah. Oh, that's the part I was worried about. Also front. Oh, you just can't win in show business. So. I did have to, for a live show first, have to roll my back. Oh, shit. I didn't even check mine. No, you're good. Speaker 1 (5:53) You're good. I do the thing where I do eyeshadow for like two hours straight and then they're like, it's time to go. And I'm like, but oh, there's so much more than eyeshadow to be taken care of on this thing. How's it? Okay. We're still. Yeah, I don't know. I'm not sure. Do we do this? Where did we come in? In a minute. We can't be attached to their emotions. We can't. We can't. We just have to come here and do our thing. Okay. I kind of love this. I feel like we are only going to have, what is this called, in the round? I feel like we might need to be doing some Sondheim numbers. That's what I would like to be doing. Isn't that what usually goes on in here? There's a lot of this kind of type
