  1. Led Zeppelin on the Road: Mud Sharks, Baby Groupies , and Backstage Beatdowns!

    2 DAYS AGO

    Led Zeppelin on the Road: Mud Sharks, Baby Groupies , and Backstage Beatdowns!

    What a Creep Led Zeppelin on Tour Season 28, Episode 7 Led Zeppelin is making headlines again with releasing their first official documentary in decades, titled "Becoming Led Zeppelin." The film primarily focuses on the band's music and the early stages of their career as iconic touring legends. One of us is a huge fan (the one leading this episode) and appreciates the band’s remarkable talent while also acknowledging their complicated history, which includes some unsettling stories. Their life on the road has become part of the groupie lore passed down for decades, and there are also stories involving witchcraft and devil worship connected to Jimmy Page. The band officially broke up in 1980 following the death of drummer John Bonham. They have regrouped in various forms over the years, but the late '60s and '70s Led Zeppelin—with their numerous tales of debauchery—form the basis for most of this episode. Let's Ramble On, y'all! Trigger warnings: SA, sexual harassment, grooming, and host Margo breaking out in song from time to time.  Sources for this episode: Daily Fail Led Zeppelin: The Biography by Bob SpitzVanity Fair Story of the Week from “Library of America”Ellen Sander: Shake it Up (chapter on Led Zeppelin)Rolling StoneThe IndependentHammer of the Gods by Stephen DavisI’m With the Band by Pamela Des BarresLed Zeppelin Wikipedia The Independent UKFar Out magazineFar Out Magazine 2Led Zeppelin.com Foruma href="https://metro.co.uk/2024/11/18/actually-happened-led-zeppelin-a-mud-shark-a-groupie-1969-21966638/"...

    Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and the 2025 Super Bowl (Mustard!!!!!!)

    What a Creep Kendrick Lamar & the Drake Feud Season 28, Episode 5 The 59th annual Super Bowl became the backdrop for the intense feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, one of the most significant rivalries in modern hip-hop. Fueled by long-standing tensions over artistic credibility, lyrical skill, and industry dominance, this conflict has been brewing for over a decade. However, it escalated in 2024 with a series of explosive diss tracks. Kendrick's songs "Euphoria" and "Not Like Us" took direct shots at Drake's authenticity, personal life, and alleged manipulation within the industry. In response, Drake released "Family Matters," which questioned Kendrick’s relationships and his status as a leader in rap. Now that the world knows this beef, let’s explore some of Drake’s more problematic behaviors. (Yes, we are Team Kendrick here!) Trigger warning: Grooming and Margo’s aging Gen X brain. Sources:  Drake WikipediaDrake Reddit Harper’s BazaarEsquire magazine's “Drake Vs.

    The NFL, Janet Jackson, & the 2004 Nipple Gate Controvesy

    What a Creep The Super Bowl’s Big Wardrobe Malfunction Season 28, Episode 4 It was the wardrobe malfunction seen around the world. We’re going to talk about the infamous 2004 Super Bowl Halftime Show. The entire country lost their collective mind because they got a glimpse of Janet Jackson’s boob for less than a second during what they like to pretend is a family-friendly cultural event. In reality, we’re watching a brutal sport in which men are getting concussions for our entertainment, sandwiched in between commercials for booze and boner pills. Was it a planned stunt? Was it an accident? Does it really matter? Some people just used it as an opportunity to shit on Janet Jackson 24/7, and others used it as an opportunity to get on their soapbox to disingenuously ask, “Won’t someone think of the children.”  Sources for this episode DeadspinLos Angeles Times“The New York Times Presents: Malfunction: The Dressing Down of Janet Jackson”NPRRolling StoneRolling StoneWikipedia Non-Creepy American Football Charities: USA Football.com: USA Football believes in the passion, intensity, joy, confidence, and sense of community football brings to those who play, coach, and love it.

    John Harvey Kellogg: Creepy Cereal Advocate

    What a Creep John Harvey Kellogg Season 28, Episode 2 Kellogg’s Corn Flakes was the boring cereal in my Kellogg’s cereal variety pack, but it’s the one that started them all. And one of the men behind that cereal was John Harvey Kellogg. John Harvey Kellogg championed nutrition and a holistic approach to health. But he was also a eugenicist, which, if you don’t know, is the inaccurate theory that humans can be improved through selective breeding of populations. He also advocated for forced sterilization of anyone he deemed unintelligent or immoral. Oh, and he launched a really messed anti-masturbation campaign that saw the g******s of young boys and girls mutilated. John Harvey Kellogg: What a creep.  Sources for this episode All That’s InterestingBattle Creek Enquirer BritannicaChowhoundForbesThe GuardianHistoryHistory HitHistory TodayNew York TimesThe School of Public HealthWikipedia: Carrie BuckWikipedia: John Harvey Kellogg Trigger warnings: Racism, sexual assault, and cereal puns Be sure to follow us on social media.

    John Hughes & His Most Problematic Movies: Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, & More!

    What a Creep Some of the Creepiest Plots to John Hughes Films Season 28, Episode 1 John Hughes accomplished the remarkable feat of being a quintessential Baby Boomer while still resonating with Generation X and Millennials through his films. Movies—such as 16 Candles, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Pretty in Pink, and She’s Having a Baby—became essential viewing for generations that felt overlooked by mainstream media. He genuinely seemed like “one of us.” However, when we examine his work through a modern lens, it is difficult to overlook an alarming pattern of racism, homophobia, white privilege,  and sexism, as well as some questionable behavior exhibited by the male leads in his films from the 1980s and 1990s. Some of his movies also reveal a rather creepy element when viewed today.

    Wrestling & Reality TV Creep Hulk Hogan

    What a Creep Hulk Hogan Season 27, Episode 12 Are you ready to talk about Hulk Hogan, brother? Wrestler Hulk Hogan was everywhere through the ’80s. He appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated, TV Guide, and PEOPLE. He had his Saturday morning cartoon show and was the most-requested celebrity of the ’80s for the Make-A-Wish foundation. He also had a run of movies in the 80s and '90s. But now, he’s mainly known for lying, for a leaked sex tape filled with his racist and homophobic rants, and for being one of Predator Trump’s few “celebrity” endorsements. What a creep.
