Disgraceland is a production of Double Elvis.

The Story of the Eagles, their beginnings as a band.

Their Southern California's swagger,

their unprecedented success and their abrupt breakup is so complex that two episodes were needed

to properly tell this story. If you're just tuning in now, I suggest you hit pause and go back

to part one of the Eagles story, where we discuss the band's beginnings, their relationship

with would-be mogul David Geffen, Glenn Fry's smuggling of Acapulco gold in the near-dead

girl in Don Henley's bathroom. In this episode, we get into the band's immeasurable excess,

including pranks with private jets, overseas gambling and high-speed corvette rides with delirious drug dealers.

We, of course, refused to refer to the Eagles as Eagles, just as we do in part one.

And we also introduced the band's new ball-busting manager, Irving Azov, fast-talking the Eagles out of a Bahamian drug bust.

And of course, we dive into the soaring success of the band's 26-times platinum album Hotel

California. Truly great music. Unlike that music I played a few at the top of the show,

that wasn't great music. That was a preset loop from my Melotron called Medicated Thumblister

MK1. I played you that loop because I can't afford the rights to Lady by Kenny Rogers.

And why would I play you that specific slice of rejected Commodore cheese could I afford it?

Because that was the number one song in America on November 21st, 1980. And that was the night Don Henley rang the paramedics about the

underage girl overdosing in his bathroom, a girl that was about to be as dead as his band's career.

On this episode, Private Jet Pranks, private jet crashes, ball-busting managers,

SoCal's swagger, and the masters of life in the fast lane, the Eagles.

I'm Jake Brennan, and this is Disgraceland.

Thank you. Brennan, and this is Disgraceland. You're driving. It's late. Your friends are with you in your car. One of them has to piss.
