️ The Baller Lifestyle Podcast – Episode 597
Title: The Reaper Works Overtime
Hosts: Brian Beckner & Ed Daly
Episode Summary
Brian and Ed are back to honor the fallen, roast the living, and laugh at the absurd. In this week’s episode, the guys salute friends of the show, mourn a few legends (and some not-so-legends), and wade through everything from celebrity deaths to pervy psychics to Dodgers delusion. Plus: Jay Fizzle’s baby army, Charlie Sheen’s “good company,” and a UK porn crisis.
It’s the irreverent blend of dark humor, pop culture, and sports cynicism that keeps The Baller Lifestyle the most honest show in podcasting.
RIP Roundup
The Grim Reaper’s been busy, and Brian and Ed have thoughts:
Ace Frehley, Kiss guitarist and Spaceman – dead at 74.
Jesús Montero – Yankee phenom turned Venezuelan tragedy.
Doug “Muscle Hamster” Martin – Tampa Bay legend meets a bad end.
Sam Rivers (Limp Bizkit), Ed Williams (Naked Gun), Penelope Milford (Heathers), Sandy Alomar Sr., Drew Struzan (poster legend), and even D’Angelo (the R&B one, not the living one).
Plus: why dying on your couch might be underrated.
