| 0:00.0 | Hey Discos, need a little more disgrace land in your life? |
| 0:05.0 | Just a touch to get you through? |
| 0:07.3 | Yeah, me too. |
| 0:08.7 | This is the podcast that comes after the podcast. |
| 0:11.7 | Welcome to Disgraceland bonus episode, a little thing we like to call the after party. |
| 0:33.0 | This is the show after the show, the party after the party, the bridge to get you from one full episode or disgrace land to the other, the backyard to dig into the dirt. On this bonus episode, |
| 0:42.3 | we are talking about this week's full episode subject, George Michael. We also discuss those |

| 1:47.3 | was arrested seven times in 12 years, seven times in just 12 years. Now, Billy Idol had his fair |
| 1:53.7 | share of run-ins with the law, and we're going to cover all of them in an upcoming episode on |
| 1:57.3 | Billy Idol in about a month from now. And we, of course, got into all of |
| 2:01.5 | Arrowsmith's transgressions, or most of them anyway, in a previous episode of disgrace |
| 2:05.8 | Sam. But in this week's full episode, George Michael seemed just designed to get arrested. |
