Episode 290: That Loser Who Shot John Lennon

Show Notes Episode 290: That Loser Who Shot John Lennon This week Host Dave Bledsoe runs into what he thought was a crazed fan trying to kill him only to discover it was just an angry bar owner trying to collect on a bar tab.  (That happens a lot) On the show this week we mine the 40th anniversary of John Lennon’s death for all the clicks and downloads we can with the backstory of the fat stupid loser that killed him. Along the way we learn that Dave’s Mom would totally fuck Elvis, and honestly so would Dave.  Then we dive right into the early years of total dweeb Mark David Chapman.  We follow him through is highly mediocre childhood, through his unimpressive teens, into his unexceptional young adulthood and watch Mark steadily fuck up everything single thing he puts his hand to.We mean this fucking guy is just a total waste of space. (He makes Gavin seem impressive!) We tried to get the Little People on the record for this show, but they now deny knowing this second rate criminal shitbag. (That will make sense, we promise) Our Sponsor this week is Todd Rundgren who regrets any unpleasantness his words may have inadvertently provoked.  We open with Howard Cosell on Monday Night Football and close with The Cleverlys with an ode to Mark’s whinging..
