Show Notes Episode 507; Tito Get Me Some Tissue
This week Host Dave Bledsoe passed out at a petting zoo and woke up making out with a llama. (It was the closest he came to getting laid in years.) On the show this week take a look at the oddities and eccentricities of the King of Pop . (Yes, we DO talk about THAT, but we do not make any jokes.)
Along the way we discover that Dave was not the most bullied kid in school. (Only because of that one kid that ate other people’s boogers.) Then we dive into a short history of musicians behaving badly from Mozart's poop poems to Jerry Lee Lewis trying to kill Elvis. Then we pick up with Michael as his career cools off and people start to notice how weird he is. (Like who wears one glove?) We follow along as Mike collects animal\ friends, builds an amusement park, turns white and gets a new nose every two years. (We guess he was leasing?) Then we discuss his dating, his marriage, and finally that other thing he allegedly did. (But probably definitely did) Before we wrap up with his sad but predictably bizarre ending.
Our Sponsor this week is Ron’s Rhinoplasty, don’t like the nose on your face, get a new one to take its place. We open with MJ being mad at Ed and close with Eve St Jones who wants to hear what you have to say.
