Disgraysland is a production of Double Elvis. Oh, The stories about Jose Kinsaco are insane. He was detained for trying to smuggle drugs across the border from Mexico into the United States.

He was the target of a police SWAT team when a gun was found in his car. He was sued for his part in a nightclub brawl while dressed as a vampire.

He was busy being seduced by Madonna in her apartment when he was supposed to be taking batting practice before a game.

And he was the self-proclaimed godfather of steroids, using, abusing, and introducing other

players to the juice over the entirety of his 17 year Major League Baseball career.

And he did it all unapologetically, while simultaneously being a part of some of the greatest moments in sports history.

Unlike that loop I played for you at the top of the show, that wasn't a great sports moment.

That was a preset loop from a melotron called Stranger Is as Stranger Does

MK1. I played you that loop because I can't afford the rights to a clip from She Drives Me Crazy by Fine Young Cannibals

And why would I play you that specific slice of the raw and the cooked cheese could I afford it?

Because that was the number one song in America on April 21st, 1989.

And that was the day that Jose Kinsaco

found himself surrounded by police cars, a SWAT van,

and a hovering helicopter.
