On this show, we cover some sensitive topics.

Though the obituaries may be outlandish, the people are real.

Names have been changed or omitted in order to respect both the deceased and the survived

by.

While death is no laughing matter, some petty last words can provide some pretty entertaining

comic relief.

Welcome to Obituary.

I'm Spencer Henry, and I'm Madison Reyes, and we're in the same room, Magiobbs, and you

even believe it.

I can't believe it.

I can't believe it.

I feel so big.

It feels weird.

It feels bizarre at this point.

Well, actually, it almost feels like we're doing like a live show right now.

Yeah, it does.

Doesn't it?

We haven't recorded in the same room since September, which we both have our little vibes

down and everything, but this is really fun.

I just got off a plane.

I'm shy.

You nervous?

Yeah.

You guys, I literally, okay, yeah, tell them.

Well, we need to catch them up on everything, so part of it will get you on our coffins

when we have a lot to talk about.

Yes.

We were spinning together in our coffins this week as well.

We absolutely were.

Can't get enough of each other.

We really can't.

So you were with me in Tennessee two days ago.

You came from like a Thursday to a Monday.

We had the absolute best time with the champ and one of our best friends on this.

And it was just a weekend of so much fun.

We got to do so much cool shit.

We went to the opera.

That was so fun.

I almost forgot.

It's been like a blur of a week.

You're probably going to get a lot of chaos this episode just for warning because we're running

on adrenaline right now, but in the last way possible.

It's 8.52 pm here, which means it's 11, 10, two hours ahead.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

10, 52.

I've been up and going since 4 am LA time, but you guys.

So you were at my house and we had so much fun.

We ran around Nashville.

Got to do so much fun stuff for my birthday.

I had the most beautiful cake the champ got me.

Oh, it was wonderful.

And then we found it the last night in the garage.

You just dug it.

We're putting that picture in.

Yes.

I showed him because he's like, did you guys get into the cake?

And I said, what?

We sure did.

We sure did.

With forks on the garage floor.

Yeah.

We snuck out of the house, walked over to the garage,

opened up the garage fridge, pulled out the cake,

and we were just in there with forks just eating it.

Showing down.

So good.

And then we had like a two day break.

And then today I flew here because Cisco's gone.

Well, that's not why.

Don't mind if he's here, but it just worked.

I mean, it's so much fun when it's just the girl.

I know.

I was like, I'm going to, when you told me he was going out of town,

I was like, I'm going to come, I'm going to come.

So I came.

And I flew out here this afternoon while I landed this evening.

We went straight to a Thai restaurant that we love.

Yes.

And we can't order from it like DoorDash

because they do a ghost kitchen.

Yeah, you guys know what we're talking about.

So like sometimes you'll have a restaurant

that you love and then you order it.

And it just doesn't taste the same.

We figured out that they were using a ghost kitchen.

Yeah.

Food just was not the same.

So we went in person.

We got to sit, have our meal.

We were saying that the place looks very much like it's

from like the early 2000s, like an episode of America's

next top model house.

Red walls, black frame, Buddha's, beautiful early 2005.

We love it.

And I feel like you know it's going to fucking hit

out a Thai restaurant when it's got that early 2005.

They've probably been there since then or even earlier

and haven't had the need to remodel

because they're just that good.

So delicious.

Absolutely delicious.

Which I will take over somebody trying to renovate a place

and make it super sleek and modern.

And we only have light wood and glass.

I hate it.

I hate it.

Yeah, no, you don't need it.

And now we're here.

I mean, a big thing we did on our trip

is what our coffin spinners about.

Let's go to the mall.

Yeah, we did go to the mall.

First stop actually.

First stop Green Hills mall.

Shout out, love it.

I was actually there last night

and got a fucking big old cinnamon.

Oh, and you got in my wedding suit.

Oh, that was so, we haven't really gotten to talk

about that beautiful.

I won't give any details, but it's so.

It's a prize.

So perfect.

That's so good.

It's very different than what I thought.

Yes, and I feel like that's how it happens.

It's like you put something on.

You're like, yeah, this is fucking it.

Yeah.

But you cannot shave your head.

The whole fucking weekend, he wanted to shave his head.

I might.

He was on a buzzed haircut.

I might tomorrow.

We don't know.

He saw himself with a filter with a buzzed head.

And was like, yeah, I said, I'm going to do it.

We've been stopped at a beauty supplies.

We bought clippers, but then I like chickened out.

I know.

And so I have an appointment here with my barber

that I used to go to tomorrow.

He's not shaving your head.

You can't do that.

Why?

I have plenty of time.

I know you do wild hair things.

I have plenty of time.

And I know from experience, I had little,

you did my hair for my wedding is beautiful,

but there's some things that you just can't work with.

And that was all the dead damaged little hair.

I've got months, though.

I've got a whole tie, a whole head of hair.

I can grow again.

Or you can wear a wig.

Or I can just wear a wig on my hair.

Perfect.

Well, we have a lot to go over in our coffin spinners.

Yes.

I feel like we need to just get into it.

Yes, Madison, we can't take up all of their time.

Or that make us some real assholes.

You're right.

Do you have any?

I have one for us because it's kind of a, she's girthy.

Ooh.

She's got some weight to her.

OK.

And it says, am I the asshole for asking my roommate

to stop saying she wishes her dad died instead

of divorcing her mom?

Wishes her dad died instead of OK.

Oh, whoa, OK.

Since I, 19 female, live in a house with five other girls

at uni.

Four of them are 22 and one is also 19.

The main issue is with one girl, I'll call Kate.

About six months ago, Kate's parents separated,

and she's been taking it really hard.

I do get that because my parents divorced when I was a kid.

And I know how confusing and emotional that can be.

Since then, I've tried to be there for her as much as possible.

I've spent nights letting her cry, listening to her rant,

and offering advice when she asks for it.

Sounds like a good friend.

Would she ask for it?

Not to offering unsolicited advice.

Right, I'd be giving advice.

She, oh, yeah.

But no one's asking.

She often.

She, oh, like you, Del.

Sure do, girl.

She often says things like, I can't believe my parents

would do this to me, or they must not love me

if they won't stay together.

Oh, come on.

I've tried to gently remind her

that their relationship is separate from their love for her.

For some background about me, my parents divorced

when I was young and remarried.

When I was 11, my stepmom died from brain cancer.

Then last year, my mom also passed away from cancer.

The one-year anniversary of my mom's death just recently passed,

so it still feels very fresh.

Recently, Kate has started saying things like,

it would have been easier if my dad had just died

instead of leaving.

She also said she wishes he had gotten sick

instead of getting a divorce.

And she's made comments like this multiple times

over the past few weeks.

I would hit her, and we're just kidding.

As someone who has lost two parents,

those comments really hurt.

I tried to ignore it at first,

because I know she's going through something difficult,

but it kept happening.

And two weeks ago, we were all sitting in the living room,

and I finally said something like, Kate,

I'm sorry, but you've recently said

some things that don't feel really insensitive to me.

I understand you're going through a lot,

but when you say you wish your dad had died

instead of leaving, it really hurts,

because I know what it's like to lose a parent,

and I'd appreciate it if you just don't say

those things around me.

I recognize it may have been more appropriate

to bring it up privately,

but she had just said it in front of everyone,

and I decided to respectfully respond in the moment.

She immediately got defensive

and said her cousin's parents died young,

and she helped raise them,

so she knows what I'm going through.

And I told her politely,

that's not the same as losing your own parent.

She got very upset and said she was so angry,

she was going to stop talking

before she said something worse.

Afterwards, I went into the bathroom

because I started panicking,

and I ended up crying and throwing up.

None of the other girls checked on me,

and they all stayed with Kate.

Since then, the house has basically iced me out.

When we're in the same room,

they ignore me or continue conversations

like I'm not there.

A week later, I texted Kate,

saying whenever she's ready to talk,

I'm open to it,

and she said she felt humiliated

that I called her out in front of everyone,

and isn't ready to talk about something so personal.

Am I the asshole for asking her

not to say those things around me,

especially since I said it in front of everyone?

No, I don't think you're the asshole,

and I think it's kind of funny that she's saying,

I can't believe you called me out,

and I don't want to talk about something so personal.

When she's the one crying on this person,

shoulder the whole time.

Yes, but she was the one talking about it

in front of everybody.

That's why the person responded in front of everybody.

She's embarrassed because she knows

she's probably in the wrong.

And I do think until you know,

your family, you deal with that loss

and any capacity you can't relate,

I can relate to someone on losing a parent, obviously,

but I couldn't relate to someone on the loss of an infant, right?

There's different capacities,

and there's different,

I mean, everyone's grief is their own unique experience,

but I get being fed up at a certain point

and being like, I wish you would stop saying that

in front of me.

Yeah.

Especially because what I found really bizarre

is that this Kate person

is like, if they would just stay together,

if they loved me,

and then she's saying she wishes her dad,

so do you want your parents to stay together

or do you want your dad to have a slow agonizing death?

Yeah, that.

What's the truth?

When she said, I hope,

or I wish that he just got sick or something,

it's like, no, the fuck you don't.

Weird.

Yeah.

No.

Like, obviously you've had a really,

I don't want to say privileged life,

but like to not have to experience shit like that,

but like.

The voice is traumatizing on so many levels,

but at the same time,

you sound like a fucked up weirdo for a second.

It's like a brat.

Yeah, a brat is what it is.

Yeah, me, Todd,

do you, I can't believe you're doing this too.

It's like, okay, give me a break.

Spencer, if we had a kid together,

we would sit there and say, you're being a fucking brat.

You're being a, you're being a little fucking brat right now.

We're getting divorced

because your father has a boyfriend,

because of fiance.

Mm-hmm.

And it's okay.

It's all love.

We're all okay.

We're fine.

And you're being a brat.

You're being a brat about this.

Yeah.

Like when I moved away.

Right.

What?

Remember some people were bratty.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

I'm like, my God, you guys.

You guys.

It's all, it's all okay.

It is.

It's all gonna be okay.

Everything works out.

Everything is fine.

It all works out.

So not an asshole.

I don't think an asshole.

I also think, so I think Kate's an asshole.

Okay.

But I also think all the girls that don't talk to her.

That feels weird and it feels more loaded.

Which then makes me think, okay, the writer of this,

is she a monster?

Is she, or is she like notoriously doing shit like this?

Or is Kate just nuts?

And it's like, actually, they're in a sorority

and she's like the president of the sorority

and they don't, you know what I mean?

They're like, we can't fuck with Kate.

Yeah, like fuck, dude.

She, or they're like, she's going through something right now.

We can't, I don't know.

Just, yeah.

Getting iced out by everyone feels weird though.

It does feel weird, but I think there's also something

empowering about it and freeing.

Because if you started icing me out or something,

or if like some of our close friends did, I'd go off.

I'd lose it.

Okay.

Ice me out.

I'd make everybody feel weird.

Okay, we'll see.

Cut to you, shape your head.

Maybe I will, that's freeing.

I'm releasing the trauma.

Hair holds trauma.

I have a listener email about somebody cool.

Okay.

This says, I figured I had to send this in

because honestly, in my head, we're all besties.

And if I was standing there thinking,

is this real life right now and laughing through it?

I just know my fellow G-offs would be giggling

right along with me.

And yes, you can say my name.

I would die happy if this was read on the pod.

I love this story so much.

Okay.

My great grandmother passed away

and naturally I was heartbroken.

In my mind, she was always this sweet, quiet,

angelic woman.

Soft, spoken, kind.

The type you'd picture floating through heaven

with a halo already pre-installed.

Fast forward to the day of her wake.

We had to travel to New York for her services.

I had never been to an open casket wake before

and was fully losing it.

The entire drive there I kept thinking,

I am so not ready for this.

We pull into the funeral home parking lot

and it is packed.

I remember thinking, wow, Grandma was so loved,

which felt comforting.

Then I step out of the car.

I'm scanning the lot looking for my family

when I notice a tall man in a leather vest facing me

chatting with another person in a leather vest.

Then I see more leather, more vests.

The man turns around.

Across the back of his vest in large embroidered letters,

bells, angels.

They all say hells, angels.

I turned to my husband and whisper.

Cuzbent?

Where are you, lifeguard?

That's illegal here.

That's illegal here.

Cuzbent.

Damn, I like that as a new word.

I turned to my cousin and whisper.

Did Grandma have a double life we were unaware of?

And we absolutely lose it.

Full inappropriate funeral cackling.

Inside about a dozen hells, angels

and their partners are gathered in the waiting room.

Meanwhile, my family about 10 to 12 of us

is awkwardly huddled together.

A few minutes past and we realize

that my 11 year old brother isn't in my sight.

Mr. Curiosity, Mr. Adventure, Mr.

let me just see what's happening over here.

We're scanning every room.

Then my boyfriend and I round the corner

and there he is, deep in conversation

with the president of the hells, angels.

I nearly shat myself.

There they are, bonding over my brother's sponge bob snuggie.

The president is telling him how his kid would absolutely

love one.

And just like that, the scariest men in the parking lot

were normal.

Needless to say, I cope with hard things through laughter

and that was definitely one for the books.

Of course, Grandma couldn't leave this earth

without one final joke.

I learned that apparently there can be

more than one service happening at a funeral home

at the same time.

Oh, it was a wondering.

Who knew?

All in all, my grandma's wake was filled

with so much love and so many memories.

Her casket was beautiful.

She looked peaceful and there was a calmness

and knowing she was finally at rest

and where she has wanted to be for so long.

Maybe this was just her way of letting me know

she's rolling with the angels now.

That is, thank you for creating space for both truth and humor.

It's truly helped me cope with the hard things.

Much love from your bestie and fellow G off, Alicia.

Alicia, thank you so much for sending that in.

That was, that was a fun one.

I love that a little twist.

Yeah, the plot was at the end

because I was trying to figure out in my head

I'm like, how did she know that?

I know, I know, but it was just another funeral going on.

I think that's so cool.

I love it.

I would love to hear more stories

if anyone has them of like multiple funerals going on at once.

Totally, like how did so-and-so know that?

Yeah, I love it.

Love it.

All right, Gurley.

Well, we were spending together,

but it is my turn for a little side bit.

Yes.

So I have one and the headline reads,

daughter of first native governor of Texas is dead.

Oh.

Houston, miss I'm a hog.

No, I'm a hog.

I'm a hog.

I'm a hog.

I'm the patron of the arts.

And one of the states most celebrated citizens died

in a London hospital.

I'm a hog.

She was 93.

Oh, fuck.

Okay, but she was incredible.

And she's really well respected.

Love.

But I don't care if you've done your mother Teresa,

the name I'm a hog through me.

Now was she was born with that name?

The daughter of Texas's first native born governor,

miss hog broke her hip and broke her hip

in a fall outside her London hotel last Thursday

and entered Westminster hospital.

Complication set in Saturday and she died Tuesday

and autopsy was ordered known simply as miss I'm a.

Oh, yeah, drop the hog.

Getting me.

Well, I know why.

She was the daughter of James Steven Hogg,

the state's 19th governor,

which means that that was her born name.

So her parents said, oh, I'm a hog.

Oh, that's crazy.

Fuck.

She had three brothers, Will Mike and Tom,

who she outlived by several decades.

The wealthy philanthropist who gave up her early desire

to be a concert pianist founded the Houston Symphony

Orchestra provided many fine arts, scholarships

and donated historical lands and dwellings to the public.

The most noted was her Latin colonial style mansion built

in 1928 called Bayou Band.

The faint pink marble home with its art

and antique treasures and surrounding 15 acres

were deeded to the museum of fine arts in 1968

as a decorative wing.

Former governor Alan Schivers speaking of miss hog

when he presented her with the University of Texas

Distinguished Alumnus Award in 1963 said,

some persons create history, some record it,

others restore and conserve it.

She has done all three.

God, lover.

Mrs. John B. Connelly, when her husband was governor,

once told an audience, the governor's wife

is usually called the first lady of the state.

The miss IMA always has been

and always will be the first lady of Texas.

Rest in peace, I'm a hog.

I'm a hog.

I can't get over that.

I know.

Hi, I'm IMA.

It feels like a prank call.

Like Bart would call down the mouse and be like,

she's married to Mike Hunt.

She's hog there.

Yeah.

I know.

First name, IMA.

That's fucked up.

Her parents did her dirty.

They did her dirty with that one.

That's crazy, well.

Well, we're going to take a quick break

and when we come back, we're going to tell you

what had us spinning in our coffins this week.

Alrighty.

We'll be right back.

Life is full of choices,

but the choice between getting crispy chicken nuggets

or a crunch wrap slider isn't one you'll have to make.

The new crispy chicken crunch wrap slider at Taco Bell.

All white meat chicken nuggets,

breaded into her teachips, wrapped up sauce and all

inside a slider-sized crunch wrap.

Choose from creamy chipotle or jalapeno honey mustard.

Well, there we go.

Life is still full of choices.

The new crispy chicken crunch wrap slider,

a brand new classic, only at Taco Bell.

I'm participating in those Taco Bell locations

And we're back, Spencer.

I know it had you spinning, you know?

Already.

So on Sunday, we had the exciting opportunity

to go and do a VIP tour of Graceland.

Graceland, it was incredible.

And I will say, no matter how you feel about Elvis,

whether you like his music or his movies or not,

I feel like it is just a historic landmark at this point.

Incredible.

A part of American history.

Oh, yeah.

Well, and actually, maybe what you guys don't know

is when Madison and I met, like 15 years ago,

14 years ago,

we were fully in our rockabilly era still.

And, or like our vintage enthusiast,

and we would go to Cody's Viva Cantina in Burger Bank,

where all the rockabilly girls and guys

where we'd go see them play in their bands,

and we just loved it.

And I feel like Elvis was such a constant

to be playing for us in those days.

It's fucking loved it.

Loved it.

But a good time.

I've done an episode on Elvis on Cult Leader,

which dives more into like the conspiracies about him,

and there's like a group known as the Presbyterians.

That was kind of culty.

Oh.

And so there's an episode of Cult Leader on him,

which you guys can find.

But we should have listened to that on the way.

Oh, on the way to Graceland.

Yeah.

I don't know if I want to listen to myself.

I know, I know.

It was a three hour drive.

So we had plenty of time.

But actually, one of the coolest things

was we stopped in Jackson, Tennessee,

which was the halfway point.

And we learned that that is the Jackson,

that Johnny Cash and June Carter,

we're singing about in the infamous song, Jackson.

Yeah.

Which I feel like we're all, like,

we always kind of sing.

We love that song.

Yeah.

And it's the home of rockabilly, Jackson is.

Jackson is.

Yeah.

It's the birthplace of rockabilly.

So that was just a cool stopping point for us.

Went to a gas station there.

We got coffee.

Someone asked if we were all in a band.

Yeah.

To the nines for it.

I've been dying to go.

Which I will say we were dressed to the nines.

Nobody else there was tennis shoes.

You think I'm wearing tennis shoes to the greatest light.

Oh, hello.

And no.

It was just so much fun, but I'm sure we'll talk about it

as we get into it.

But that was definitely like a highlight of the trip.

Initially, we were actually supposed to go to Dollywood together.

But then it didn't open until the next weekend.

You guys already had your tickets and stuff to come visit.

And so we ended up doing Graceland.

But I'm so happy we did because it was so.

It was once in a lifetime.

So rad once in a lifetime.

I didn't realize how much stuff there was beyond the house.

Well, yeah, in addition to just the house itself,

there's over 200,000 square feet of just all this memorabilia,

his costumes, everything.

It's just incredible.

And so I'm going to actually kick us off

because I want to talk a little bit about,

and this is going to make sense.

OK, there's a bituary written all over this.

Oh, yes.

Because I know you might be like, and a cop and spinner on Graceland.

But we knew going into it.

We're like, OK, this will be a cop and spinner.

But a little history on the property

before, oh, this Presley made it so famous.

And it was actually interesting to learn

about the namesake, in my opinion,

because Elvis did not, in fact, name it Graceland

of the previous owners did.

And I'll talk a little bit more about the inception

of that in a second.

But I had always just thought, because Elvis

was such a gospel singer, especially in his early years,

that a lot of people are also under the same assumption

that it was named after, like, race as, yes, this craze

are amazing.

Oh, man.

No, we're going to get in trouble.

No, we just can't play his music.

We're allowed to sing it.

I feel like we sang on one of the videos

and got a copyright.

Girls, we're still figuring out the two.

OK, so anyway.

We're trying to stop us.

They're trying to slow us down, and you can't do it.

So the home or Graceland, in particular,

was owned by the SC Tooth family.

Tooth?

Tooth.

OK.

And the house was actually constructed

by one of the family members, Dr.

Thomas Moore and his wife, Ruth Brown Moore.

And that's kind of the house, not as we know it today,

because Elvis did a ton of construction on it.

But I am related.

You are related.

That is my maiden name.

They had a daughter named Ruth Marie,

but the property was named after Ruth's Aunt Grace

by her father, by Aunt Grace's father,

the original owner, Stephen Tooth, who

was like a Memphis printing magnet.

Oh.

It was like a big deal in the printing world there.

And it was actually part of the property

was part of a 500 acre farm owned by the family,

which makes a little more sense now

why they had so much space to build on.

And all the horses and stuff?

Yeah.

So Dr. Thomas and Ruth built the mansion.

But again, prior to that, the land

had already been in their family for several decades.

And they built the house in 1939,

wanting to emulate just kind of the Southern plantation

style that was very popular at the time.

And they had a daughter who, interestingly enough,

was a harpist with the Memphis Symphony Orchestra.

And she held all kinds of recitals at the house.

So I thought it was kind of funny that it ended up

going eventually to another musician.

Yeah.

And like all the music notes on the...

On the fence.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That I do think was Elvis's touch.

But yeah.

But yeah.

And then when Elvis took over the property,

he was just really starting to skyrocket to fame.

He purchased the home for $100,000.

And he was only 22 at the time.

You want to be a 22 year old homeowner nowadays?

It's going to be tough.

Yeah.

But he had a lot of it.

I mean, $100,000 would be around $1.1 to $1.2 million

in today's money, which seems

fair, given the amount of land that he got for it.

But he obviously did a ton of renovations to the house.

I don't know how much you're going to get into with that.

I will, yeah.

Okay, perfect.

I did read that today.

Graceland is valued out anywhere between $400 to $500 million.

Oh, shit.

That's according to Google.

So who knows the accuracy on that?

I'm like, with everything that's there, I'm sure.

Yeah.

But it does sit kind of in an interesting place.

So I had gone through Memphis with Alyssa actually

when I moved out to Nashville.

It was one of the last stops for coffee

before making the final three hour drive.

Yeah.

And I remember when we were in Memphis, we looked up Graceland.

But I was like, we have hot dog with us.

It's going to be too annoying to try and figure that out.

And so we didn't end up going.

But I remember it being like 45 minutes away.

Like it is in.

It's six minutes from Mississippi.

So it's like on the outskirts.

Totally.

But yeah, initially it did just start out

as like this family's farm that eventually

some of their descendants built this mansion on.

But it's funny too, because they were saying like

back in the day, like it was considered a mansion.

Because when you go to it, it's definitely a large home.

Yeah.

I thought it was going to be larger.

I did as well.

And like granted, we weren't allowed to go upstairs.

Nobody is allowed to go upstairs.

One of the tour guides that was taking us around,

she was telling us that like,

she's been there for years.

Years, and they have a listers come in.

Like a list actor, singer, she's like,

oh, Katie Perry was here.

And no one's allowed to go upstairs.

The only person she said that was allowed to go upstairs

was Nicholas Cage.

And that's what he was dating Lisa Marie Wesley.

So no one's really allowed to go up there.

But for a good reason.

For a good reason.

But that's kind of like the history of the land

prior to Elvis coming in.

But then I believe you'll take it from here.

I'm going to take it from here with...

We're going to go back and forth a little bit.

Yes.

I'm going to get into kind of when he bought it

and what life was like.

OK, so like Spencer said, in March of 1957,

a 22-year-old Elvis Presley buys Graceland.

And you know what?

He actually didn't spend his first night there

until June 26th, 1957, according to Graceland.com.

Oh, so a couple months.

Was he touring during that time?

I believe so.

OK.

Also, he and his family spent their first Christmas there

in 1957.

And that December, he got the draft letter.

Oh, that's right.

In that house.

And then the next year, I guess his parents actually

moved into a trailer.

Where he was stationed for basic training.

So it's like Graceland is like home base,

but you know, they were all over the place.

Right.

I do want to touch on the house that he lived in in Memphis

right before Graceland.

OK.

Because we know he was born in Tupelo, Mississippi.

Right.

But he did live in Memphis a little bit

before Graceland, also.

His previous house was 103-4 Autobahn Drive

in Memphis.

And he bought it for like 40 grand.

OK.

He purchased that for himself and his parents in 1956.

So just a year before purchasing Graceland.

So he got some money and he said, yeah, I'm snatching up

the real estate.

I want to say I heard that it was like a record deal,

like one of his first record deals.

And so he spent the money on the house.

But people would literally camp outside, climb fences,

scream into the windows, like girls were, you know,

trying to hand him gifts.

It was like Elvis Mania, yeah.

Elvis Mania.

So his parents couldn't even leave the house

without fans like surrounding their car.

So Elvis, obviously he wanted something bigger

and he wanted something more private

and something where his entire family could live with him,

not just his parents.

And so Graceland was huge and he ended up buying Graceland

and moving out of Autobahn.

But Autobahn is now just like a private residence.

Got it.

So sorry I gave the address up.

But you know, it's public record, it's history.

All right.

So life at Graceland seemed pretty incredible.

I mean, up into a point, right?

And I'm sure there's, I know that there were probably

up into those walls, good talk.

If those fucking walls could talk

and we're gonna get into it.

So it did not operate like a normal home at all.

It was Elvis's world and everyone was just living in it.

Everyone who did live there were his parents,

his grandmother, his friends, his employees,

the Memphis Mafia, which was basically like his closest friends

and entourage who lived with him or security for him

toward with him.

They were just his guys.

Elvis himself had a really upside down schedule,

which I don't think it's that upside down,

but he was famously nocturnal.

So a typical day would look like for him,

him waking up at like four or five p.m.,

having a huge late night dinner,

watching movies until sunrise,

riding motorcycles through the halls.

Hell yeah.

Spontaneous food runs around Memphis.

Sounds fun to me.

Yeah, it's so fun.

And the house just got more and more like Elvis

throughout the years.

You know, he started building and adding on and redecorating.

So he added rooms to the house like the jungle room,

which is iconic.

It's the best green shag carpet on the floors

and on the ceiling and beautiful like rocks

and a waterfall.

The house was filled, honey.

The house was filled.

It was filled.

Cool.

There was the TV room downstairs,

which wasn't my favorite room.

Remember, you go downstairs and you go,

I think, left and it's the TV room

and then right and that cool like fabric room

with the pool table.

Yes.

Yeah.

Well, the TV room has three TVs in it.

Which at the time.

Huge.

Huge deal.

Yeah.

But I guess he liked to watch TV.

Like he wanted to watch different shows at the same time.

That is insane.

That's a thing.

But then I was thinking about it.

I'm like, yeah, but like commercial sort of thing.

So he was probably watching something that goes to commercial

and he's wanting something.

Yeah, maybe.

Yeah.

There is a story that I read that I absolutely love.

So Elvis loved a gun.

He had so many beautiful.

Beautiful.

Like gold mother, a coin.

Yes.

Yeah.

And we actually got to go see like his shooting range,

which was like a little tiny room.

But they also cured meats at that one point.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It was interesting.

But he loved a gun.

He, you know, obviously he was not a fucking saint.

And I think he was probably a little cookie.

Sure.

So there's a story.

He was watching Robert Goulet on TV.

And this is like the mid 70s.

Well, he wasn't watching him.

He just came on the TV.

And there are some accounts where people are like,

he hated Robert Goulet.

But then other people are like, he had no problem with him.

I don't know why he did this.

But he saw him on the TV.

He takes his gun.

He shoots the TV.

There is still the TV there with a metal thing

over the bullet hole in that house.

Really?

Yes.

I want to go back and relook at pictures now.

I know.

So there's a PBS article that talked about this.

And it says, quote, there was nothing Elvis had against Robert Goulet.

They were friends.

Kevin Kern, a spokesman for Pressley's home in museum,

Graceland and Memphis, Tennessee told the Associated Press in 2006.

But Elvis just shot at things on a random basis.

He was just shooting shit.

Love it.

Also in the house, I think my favorite was the stained glass

peacocks that were everywhere.

Beautiful.

Like in that first front room.

Yeah.

And then there's mirrored walls.

And there's this show called Paradise that Alyssa made me watch.

Uh-huh.

In the second season, they like hunker down in Graceland.

And the girl's a tour guide for Graceland in it.

And she, when she's giving the tours, talks about why he mirrored those walls in the front.

And like up to his bedroom.

And it was because he could see because of the mirrored walls.

He could see when someone was coming in the door.

He could see someone in that room in that room.

Makes sense.

From his bedroom.

You know what?

One thing that was really interesting that the champ pointed out is he's like,

there is a bar in every single room of this house.

Yes.

Like in the, they have like a racket ball court.

Yep.

There's a bar there.

Yeah.

Every single room in that house had a bar.

He was a party guy.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He was also in that house.

I noticed quite a few monkey statues.

Did you?

Oh, yeah.

Notice.

Yep.

So Elvis loved a monkey.

He owned a chimpanzee named scatter.

And this is like the mid 60s.

And scatter had a brother named, God, I can't remember.

It was like fatter or ladder or pattern or something.

Okay.

They were like a trio or a, a trio.

They were a duo.

But he ended up acquiring scatter and he loved this monkey.

There's an article that I have linked that you can like read the whole thing where the

Memphis mafia just talks about this monkey and how much he loved this monkey.

But a chimpanzee chimps freak me the fuck out.

I think they're so cute.

Ever since chimps crazy, like hearing all those people get their faces ripped off and shit.

Yes.

Okay, so scatter lived at Graceland.

Okay.

He was, you know, probably, he was like a full-size chimps or diapers full whole thing.

Okay.

Well, he bit everybody.

He would bite everybody.

He was a pain in the ass and I don't blame him.

He's not supposed to be in a house.

No one has dad shooting the TV.

There's mirrors.

It's confusing.

They like talk about stories like how the monkey would know that he was in trouble or something

and Elvis would walk up to him and be like, you cook in a head, mother fucker.

Come on.

Like, but like loved him so much.

You cook, yeah.

Yeah.

But then like grab his hand.

Anyway, I think there's also some not great stories.

But scatter reportedly drink beer, war little shirts.

And at one point, bit the face of a woman at a party.

Shit.

Yes.

And that's why they had to get rid of it.

There's also a story where he got loose and beller and like walked into someone's house.

Like he was crazy.

But he was a monkey.

So you can't blame him.

Monkey business.

Monkey business.

Chimp crazy.

Chimp crazy.

Also, as we know, there's Priscilla.

Yes.

Priscilla Presley and Lisa Marie.

I feel like I mean, Priscilla and Lisa Marie are a huge part of Graceland because it, you know,

became their house.

So Elvis meets Priscilla in Germany.

Years later, she moves to Memphis and they marry in 1967.

The most beautiful wedding pictures you've ever seen in your life.

I know.

What did they say about that wedding that they got married?

I think like in Vegas.

In Vegas at a hotel.

But those wedding pictures are actually in Graceland, like the ones that we know.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Okay, okay.

They only got married in front of a couple people and then came back.

Had like a more of a suave.

Yeah.

Okay.

I loved seeing all like the eight millimeter footage and just the pictures.

Sweet.

It was sweet.

The following year after they got married, Lisa Marie Presley was born.

And for a while, it seemed like Graceland actually functioned like a normal family home.

Yeah.

Like Lisa Marie would ride golf carts around the property and play in the huge backyard.

And there were horses and it just, you know, seemed very sweet and innocent.

But Elvis's lifestyle eventually strained the marriage.

He was touring constantly, staying up all night and having a fairs allegedly.

Yeah.

And also we know the messiness of Elvis's relationship, the age gap, the power dynamic between him and Priscilla.

But we're focusing more on just the property itself.

Yes.

So by 1972, Priscilla left Graceland and they divorced the following year.

But interestingly, they remained pretty close and that relationship later becomes very crucial in the survival of Graceland.

Yeah.

And we will get to all the estate drama in a little bit.

But I think we need to jump back to Spence to talk about some death.

Yeah.

We got to talk about the death of the man himself, the king of rock and roll.

So as you mentioned, they get divorced October of 1973.

After their divorce, he continues touring, continues his filming projects.

They talked a little bit about it on the tour of like, he still spent a lot of time at Graceland.

As did Priscilla, as did Lisa Marie and they would do things like he would take one of his planes, the Lisa Marie, and come pick her up.

And they told one cool story where he literally, he found out that Lisa Marie had never seen the snow yet.

And so he came and they were like, they chartered the jet, took her out to I think Colorado, let her play in the snow for a little bit and then took the jet back.

Wow.

Which is crazy.

Yeah.

So after their divorce, he also starts dating again and he starts dating a woman named Linda Thompson.

He dated her from 1972 to 1976 and then he dated Ginger Alden whom he actually was engaged to from 1976 until his passing.

And she is actually the one who according to some sources found him unresponsive on August 16th of 1977 at Graceland.

He was only 42 years old at the time of his death.

He was so much older.

He did.

Well, he, he had, he party hard, party hard for sure, preliminary autopsy findings determined that his death was a result of cardiac arrhythmia.

And that drugs were actually not involved.

Oh.

However, a later toxicology report stated that Elvis's blood was found to have had extremely high levels of opiates, diluted, perched in, demoral, and coding as well as quailudes.

Oh, wow.

So he was really little cocktail.

Yeah, PBS reported at the time of Elvis Presley's death to pathologist found evidence of severe and chronic constipation, diabetes and glaucoma,

which is where I think all the rumors are rooted in that he like, you know, died on the toilet.

Yeah.

The painkillers that he used are likely what contributed to his severe constipation.

Oh, yeah.

You know, me with ones over and yeah, I had to do an enema at your house.

You did.

So when Elvis died on August 16th, I mean, the entire city of Memphis was just overwhelmed by his death.

I didn't even think about that.

The house sits on a main street, but I don't know if that street was there when it existed.

Oh, yeah.

It wasn't called Elvis Presley.

Yeah.

But yeah, so people start showing up, right?

Like fans start showing up at Graceland almost immediately once news breaks.

I remember you were talking to my mom and she remembered being at the mall.

I think when Elvis's death was announced.

Yeah.

Oh, really?

She said it over the loudspeaker.

Oh, shit.

But fans start showing up to his house.

They were leaving flowers, candles, stuffy animals, letters, everything outside of the gates of the mansion.

The day after he died, Elvis was placed in a copper-lined casket and laid out inside the Graceland mansion for a public viewing.

And people fucking showed up.

Around 30,000 fans filed through the house to see him.

It was open?

Yeah.

So what was interesting about that to me, too, is we talked about how would he feel like with us just walking through his house right now?

Like, remember we were talking about that at the end of Graceland?

I know.

Do you think he would like that people are still walking through his house?

Or not?

But he was a star.

I mean, I feel like he would want people to...

I mean, how do you not love it?

Like, but yeah, I know.

It's intrusive.

But also, I mean, if I was that beloved and people just wanted to come and see me.

Oh.

You have our permission.

Oh, my God.

Yes.

Come and see my little house.

Come through that house.

Yeah.

But the crowds outside were really intense.

And they were growing by the minute.

And it got so fucking crazy.

And there was actually two deaths that occurred to the result.

What?

So a car accidentally drove into a group of fans that were gathered outside the gates and two teenage girls were killed.

No.

Yep.

Did not know that.

Two days later on August 18th of 1877 or 1877.

We're talking about the other Elvis.

Yeah.

Wait, you guys saw we're talking about the...

Elvis Presley?

No.

We're talking about Elvis before Lee.

Yeah.

He was, um, Victorian God.

Yeah.

On August 18th of 1977, Elvis's funeral was held at Graceland.

And it was a private service attended by family, friends, and music industry people.

The gospel music was performed because Elvis notoriously loved gospel.

And after the service, his casket was carried out to a white hers.

And thousands of fans lined the streets of Memphis as the procession passed.

But here's the thing that I think a lot of people don't realize.

Elvis was not originally buried at Graceland.

Instead, he was laid to rest at a mausoleum at Forest Hill Cemetery in Midtown,

alongside his mother, Gladys Presley.

But only a couple of weeks after the funeral, police find out that there is a group of men

who were plotting to steal Elvis's body, grave robbers, you guys, and hold it for ransom.

So the police contact his family, and then his father finds out,

and he's horrified, obviously, that someone might try and steal the body of his son.

And that led to them moving Elvis's body on October 2nd of 1977.

Elvis's body and his mothers were quietly exhumed from the cemetery,

and they were taken to Graceland where they could be buried on the property

and they knew that they would be safe.

Then I will, I think, turn it back to you after we take a quick break.

Alrighty.

We'll be right back.

Why don't you pick things up where we left off?

Oh, I'm going to.

So, like Spencer was saying, Graceland had just become a graveyard.

Truly.

All that grave land.

Grave land.

And there are many other people buried there.

So I want to get into that.

You, Spencer, you left off Elvis dies in 1977.

His body and his mother's body are moved back to Graceland.

They are moved to what's called now the meditation garden,

which sits like right off of the pool, which I thought was pretty interesting.

And it's basically like just a small quiet garden where the whole Presley family is buried.

Yeah.

Was really interesting.

First, of course, Elvis is buried there.

I don't know if you mentioned he has an eternal flame there.

Oh, no, I didn't.

Like sitting right by his grave that never goes out.

And then next to him is his mother, Gladys.

And I just want to talk about her for a second because her death had such a profound effect on Elvis.

He was extremely close to his mother.

When she died in 1958 at 46 years old, Elvis was reportedly devastated.

Graceland.com talks about it.

They said, quote, August 8, 1958, Gladys Presley becomes ill and returns to Memphis via train to be hospitalized with acute hepatitis.

Elvis is granted emergency leave and arrives in Memphis on the afternoon of August 12th.

He visits her that night and the next day and night.

A few hours after Elvis goes home to Graceland to rest, she dies in the early hours of August 14th at age 46.

Her body lies in state at Graceland that afternoon.

Services are held at the Memphis funeral home on the 15th.

With the Blackwood brothers singing precious memories and rock of ages, two of Gladys' favorite hymns.

She is laid to rest at Forest Hill.

And we know she gets moved.

All that's interesting also talked about Elvis at her funeral.

And they said, quote, at her funeral, Elvis was inconsolable.

Goodbye, darling. We loved you.

The singer said at Gladys Presley's grave site,

oh god, everything I have is gone.

I lived my life for you.

I loved you so much.

Elvis could barely walk after burying his mother.

And many close to him said that Elvis changed irrevocably after Gladys' death,

grieving her loss for years and thinking about her in relation to just about everything he did.

Even in death, Elvis Presley's mother cast a large shadow in the singer's life.

When he met his future wife, Priscilla,

he talked incessantly about Gladys.

It's even believed that he saw a resemblance between the two of them,

between Gladys and Priscilla, which I don't see.

No.

And Priscilla would later note that Elvis's mother was the true love of his life.

So she's buried right next to him.

Then we have Vernon Presley, Elvis's father.

Vernon handled much of Elvis's financial business during his career and lived at Graceland as well.

And we did get to go see his office.

Yeah.

It was very cool.

Yeah.

But also one thing I wanted to say about Gladys is that she had a poodle wallpaper bathroom.

Yes, she did.

I loved.

Yeah, of course.

We'll post a picture of that.

Really?

Okay.

Here's the drama with Vernon.

Vernon remarried a woman named Devata Stanley in 1960 and they lived at Graceland for a while

until they moved and they moved it, but they stayed pretty close to Graceland.

But I was curious, like, why isn't Devata buried there, too?

Then I've Vernon's buried there.

Oh, yeah.

Well, there was so much fucking drama.

The Daily Mirror put out an article when she died in 2013.

I have to read you just a little excerpt because it's crazy.

I found it on an Elvis forum.

I haven't linked it's elvis.com.au.

But it says, quote,

the king never liked or trusted his father's second wife and he proved to be a good judge of character.

If Elvis was alive today, he may have been singing a new tune, Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead.

Because the woman branded his wicked stepmother has died aged 88 at her home in Nashville, Tennessee.

So she was the second wife, but there are so many claims here.

It says she wrote two muck-racking books claiming to reveal shocking secrets about her step-son.

Alongside claims that he had a gay affair was forced to marry Priscilla and committed suicide because he had bone marrow cancer.

The biggest bomb shell of all was her allegation that he'd been in an incestuous relationship with his mother, Gladys.

You know she was just the evil fucking stepmom evil stepmom.

It says that she wanted posthumous revenge on her superstar step son.

She blamed Elvis for wrecking her 17 year marriage to his father, which ended in November 1977,

which was only 18 months before Vernon died.

Thank God because who knows what she would have tried to get.

She would have been knocking walls down. She would have stolen the property.

You spot a snake.

He knew she was a fucking snake and she proved herself to be a snake.

Well they met, I guess she and Vernon met because her husband died, but he served with Elvis.

And when she had heard that his mom died, she called him and called Vernon and was like, oh, I'm so sorry.

Swooped in. Swooped in. So yeah, she didn't make the cut. She's not at the cemetery there.

But who is there is mini Mae Presley, which is Elvis's grandmother.

She lived at Graceland for years. There's not a lot about her, but I did learn that her nickname was Dodger.

Oh, cute.

And then there is a plaque there for his twin brother Jesse Garin Presley.

So our tour guide said that they did that to honor the twin brother, but the twin's body couldn't be found in Mississippi

where he was originally buried because he was a stillborn. He was Elvis's twin.

I guess they didn't have any money for a headstone or anything.

So they put him in a shoe box and wrapped a red ribbon around him and buried him.

But when they wanted to exume him and bring him, they couldn't find him.

And then there's some recent tragic additions we have in 2020 Lisa Marie's son Benjamin Kio.

He dies at age 27.

Spitting image of his grandmother by the way.

Crazy, crazy. He's buried at Graceland.

And then in 2023, Lisa Marie Presley herself was laid to rest next to her son.

And they have big grips that are not in ground.

Yeah, I was watching actually quite a few interviews because you hear so much about the family feuds and all the thing.

And I know you're probably going to get into some of the trust drama.

But I've been watching interviews post Graceland with Priscilla Presley and Riley Kio both separately talking about their mom.

And it's just, it's really interesting to hear Priscilla talk always because it seems like she just never let Elle this go in a way.

And how could she with like the public interest and everything else in the case.

But I'm also like, I makes me think about like the woman that he was engaged to at the end.

Yeah, you know, like was she like, well, what the fuck am I, a chop liver?

Yeah, I was going to marry them.

Right.

But also, I always question someone who comes around when someone's in a notoriously hard difficult time in their life and they're on drugs and all this stuff.

Like, were you good for him or totally right?

Right.

I know it is interesting.

It's complicated.

It is.

Okay, so actually, should I get into that drama right now before you go on to your next, okay?

I'll end this with a little nightcap.

Okay.

Perfect.

So the chaos that came after Elvis died is interesting because I don't think a lot of people realize how much chaos came.

Homotuous.

Homotuous.

Despite being one of the most famous musicians in history, Elvis actually died with relatively little money after his death.

The estate was worth only about five million dollars, which I mean, if you've seen the Elvis movie or know about Elvis,

you know about the Colonel.

Oh, man.

Brookhead, yeah.

Brookhead, which I was very, I thought it was interesting that they had a whole like museum for the Colonel there.

Such an asshole.

I know.

But I guess he wouldn't Elvis maybe wouldn't have been who he was without him.

I don't know.

Yeah.

He got a raw deal with that.

And that, I mean, that still sounds like a lot of money, five million dollars, but the cost of maintaining Graceland and staff and the property.

That money disappears very fast and he made hundreds of millions of dollars in his lifetime.

Right.

So this is where Priscilla Presley comes in.

She decides to turn Graceland into a public museum.

It is open to visitors in 1982, which I don't think we said yet, which is interesting.

Yeah.

In 1982, they opened it up to the public and it completely changed the finances of the estate.

Today, Graceland attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors.

It's like a little theme park.

Truly.

Pretty crazy how big it is.

It's one of the most visited private homes in America.

But after Lisa Marie Presley dies in January of 2023, a massive dispute breaks out over who controlled the Presley estate.

Riley Kio, who's Lisa Marie's daughter.

Now, ultimately controls Graceland, but it got very messy before that.

So Lisa Marie had a trust called the Promenade Trust.

It included Graceland Elvis's personal belongings and a stake in Elvis Presley Enterprises.

And that was one thing we learned on the tour that the Presley's never threw anything away.

That's why they have literally everything of it.

In 2016, there was an amendment to that Promenade Trust.

That amendment removed Presley Presley as trustee.

Because originally, Lisa Marie was Presley.

And it replaced her with Riley Kio and Riley's brother Benjamin.

And Benjamin dies in 2020, so Riley becomes the main heir.

Yeah, she's like the sole heirist.

Just weeks after Lisa Marie Presley's death, Priscilla files court documents questioning the validity of the amendment.

And I read, I like read through all the court stuff.

And Riley wrote Priscilla a letter calling, I think she called her nona or nony or known.

I think known.

Basically, like, I cannot believe that you're doing this.

I cannot believe that you're trying to like take this away.

For me, these were my mom's wishes.

You don't know how many times I stopped my mom from suing you.

Like it was, they had Lisa Marie and Priscilla.

Yeah, Duke did out alleged.

Well, imagine being the granddaughter and knowing like you have this protectiveness over your mom who's just passed away.

Like, this is what my mom wanted.

And she probably lived her whole life hearing like my mom's terrible.

I know.

But there is like, would Graceland, Graceland wouldn't be all of that stuff wouldn't be worth what it is today without Priscilla.

Right.

It's interesting.

I don't know.

Yeah.

It's a, it's a thinker.

It is.

It is.

So Priscilla files documents questioning the validity of the amendment.

And she argues that the signature looks suspicious.

The document has formatting issues and that she had never been notified of the change.

So basically she was asking the court to invalidate the amendment, which would have meant Priscilla regains control of the trust.

And this created a huge public family dispute.

In 2023, Riley and Priscilla reach a settlement.

So the settlement is Riley Keo is the sole trustee of the estate.

She became the official owner of Graceland.

She agreed to pay Priscilla a lump sum and her legal fees.

And Priscilla was given a role as a special advisor to the trust.

Riley's younger half sisters, those were Lisa Marie's twins are beneficiaries of the trust.

Got it.

In 2024, things do get kind of weird.

Remember your dumbass criminal from a few weeks ago.

Okay, that whole thing.

I just wanted to reiterate a company suddenly claims that Lisa Marie took out a $3.8 million loan and was using Graceland as collateral.

Basically, they tried to auction off Graceland.

It turned out that it was a fraud in that woman.

Yeah.

But yeah, the dumbass criminal.

So today, Riley Keo is the sole trustee of Lisa Marie's estate.

She controls Graceland and Priscilla remains involved just in a smaller role.

And the trust ultimately benefits Riley and Lisa Marie's other daughters.

Yeah.

Yeah.

As it should.

So there you have it.

And then I thought this was really interesting.

So I was talking to one of our friends after our trip to Graceland.

She was like, oh, did you know that there is a Graceland replica house in Orlando?

And I was like, oh my god, I had no idea.

Cool.

And so this is from the Orlando weekly.

The headline reads, hey, that house looks just like Graceland and it does.

Fully.

It says, quote, the phrase, hellish grinding might be too strong to describe the noise the acorns were making under my feet.

Sharp crackling cut through the stillness and the air at a highland oaks estates with enough intensity that I stepped off the sidewalk

and walked instead onto somebody's nicely manicured front lawn.

Usually when you wander through your average floor to subdivision, you hear some kind of arant noise.

Kids laughing, the stilted hiss of an angry sprinkler.

But this stretch of homes and pine hills is tiny and cloistered enough to be movie lot silent.

And I wished to disturb no one.

Indeed, a few of the homes on the street looked like they were transported directly from a ward cleaver wet dream.

But one, the crown jewel of highland oaks is a little different.

It looks like it would fit better on Elvis Presley Boulevard and Memphis, Tennessee than on Pine Street in the cleaver hometown of Mayfield.

This is the house I've come to see.

It goes on to say that the replica is a little piece of catch buried deep in a cranny the average tourist would never manage to uncover.

Can you visit it or is it just a private residence?

It's a private residence.

Oh shit.

Orlando Businessman Claude Dowda, I believe, constructed the home.

And by further way of explanation, he told the Sentinel that he always wanted a colonial home and that this was an important consideration in his decision to build his imitation Graceland in 1981.

According to the Sentinel, it cost him about $480,000 to build it.

The house thrilled Elvis fans who flocked to gawk at the home and visited its annual Christmas light display.

Oh shit.

He did take some creative liberties.

So, you know, Elvis's pool is just a traditional pool shaped.

This guy did a pool to resemble a guitar.

Oh cool.

And while I was looking for that though, I like once our friend told us about that.

I was like, oh, I need to look into that because we're going to do a cop and spinner on it.

Then I saw that there's also one in Nashville as well.

No way.

Another replica home.

Oh my gosh.

And this one, not on the inside.

But on the outside, it pretty much perfectly mirrors Elvis's Graceland.

That's cool.

And it's in Beach Grove, Tennessee, and it's just, it's just fucking cool.

That's cool.

And I think you can actually, I believe you can stay at this home.

Oh.

Nice.

Yeah.

Well, we just love a home and a graveyard.

I just think that's so cool.

We do.

And we also love an obituary.

We do.

Speaking of Ares' suspense.

Yes, we love an Ares.

We do.

This is from the Akron Beacon Journal 1979.

It says Barbara Hutton dies.

Woolworth Ares.

Oh.

Shit about reputation.

Oh.

Barbara Hutton.

The F.W. Woolworth Ares known in childhood as the poor little rich girl.

Oh.

Has died of cardiac arrest, a spokeswoman for Cedar Sinai Medical Center said.

She died a 66-year-old jet-setter, seven times married, and three times a princess.

Yet a symbol of the cliche that money doesn't always buy happiness.

As we know, I mean, if Graceland's, you know.

Graceland's an example.

I had it herself once.

I hadn't a very happy childhood, though I had millions of dollars.

I had no mother and no home.

In recent years, her health declined, and she shied from publicity.

On Friday, she was brought to Cedar Sinai and pronounced dead on arrival according to hospital spokeswoman Tess Griffin.

The often hospitalized million Ares had been released from the hospital eight days before after being treated for pneumonia.

Miss Hutton was born in New York on November 14, 1912.

Her parents were Franklin Laws Hutton, and the former Edna Woolworth, a daughter of F.W. Woolworth.

Miss Hutton's mother died when she was five, leaving her a $20 million inheritance, but dooming her to a childhood of being shuttled from relative to relative, then from school to school.

At 20, she married her first husband, Alexis Devani, who claimed the title of Prince of Georgia in Old Russia.

In 1935, she divorced him in Reno, Nevada, charging extreme cruelty.

Her later marriages were to wealthy Danish noblemen Count, Hogwarts, Rev. Lau, British born actor, Carrie Grant, Lithuanian prince, Igor Trovotsky,

Porfirio Rubirosa, an international playboy, and the Dominican Republic's minister to France,

German tennis ace Baron Gottfried von Kram, and Laue Shinprinz, an abstract artist Raymond Donovan.

She had one son, Lance. Her body was being flown to New York for funeral arrangements.

All right, P-girl, money doesn't buy happiness.

Money does not buy happiness, girl.

These are a story, Mike.

Poor little rich girl.

Rich girl.

All right, well, I've got one for us from the Rushville, Indiana Republican, Fort Wayne Mayor dies.

Fort Wayne, Indiana, Mayor Harry Balls, 67.

No, are you kidding me?

Harry Balls, 67, of Republican died Sunday night after a kidney infection.

He was serving his fourth term.

Balls, the Fort Wayne postmaster from 1922 to 1931, was first elected mayor in 1934 and served three consecutive terms.

He did not seek office in the 1946 election, but was reelected in 1950.

A past president of the Indiana Municipal League, Balls, was also a former president in the US Conference of Mayors.

A Fort Wayne native, Balls, was long associated with the Jacob Plett and Suns Lumberco, and was made president of that firm in 1933.

He was an active worker in many civic organizations, including the Boy Scouts, Elks, and Various Masonic organizations.

Balls is survived by the widow Irene, and by a son and daughter by a previous marriage.

Mrs. Marceo Clark Smith and Donald D Balls.

Donald D Balls.

But the Fort Wayne, his first wife, Minnie Balls.

You're lying to me.

Minnie Murray Balls.

There's the piece Harry Balls.

Oh my god, Harry Balls, I'm a hawk.

Minnie Balls, fuck.

God, those parents are criminal for that.

They really are.

With that being said, we have spun in our coffins.

We have bitched our obituary.

That was him after the quailude.

It means it's time for some dumb ass criminals.

Who you got?

Okay, this just happened Tuesday, March 10th, 2026.

This is from Justice.gov.

Okay, we're getting official here.

Jason Canal's 39 Spring Hill has been arrested and charged with eight counts of interstate transport of stolen property.

Okay, it goes on.

According to the indictment, Canal's perpetuated multiple schemes to defraud wholesale produce companies.

Basically, he stole more than half a million dollars of onions and potatoes.

It says Canal's schemes resulted in a loss of over 600,000 to the victim companies.

And he is being indicted as we speak.

That's a lot of onions and potatoes.

Why the fuck would you do that?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Hey, yeah.

I don't know.

It wasn't over those sacks you brought in on the airplane.

I smuggled them.

What the hell?

That's a dumb ass girl.

You don't need that many potatoes.

That's a lot.

I have one that was sent to us via geography.

He said, Hi Spencer, Madison and Pops, I saw this happen downtown for me and I couldn't stop laughing.

I'll let the article explain for me because it's just too good to spoil.

Anyway, I love your show and everything you guys do to make us laugh during hard times and teach us strange facts we didn't know we needed.

From a long time listener, first time writer.

Love you guys.

Destiny.

Thank you.

Destiny.

Destiny.

And this is incredible.

It's from the Idaho State Journal and it says,

Pocatello Man tumbles from his own moving SUV gets back in and crashes it through building.

Why?

A 42 year old local man was arrested on several charges after police say he drunkenly,

but a lot of his moving SUV as it drove through a busy Pocatello intersection Tuesday evening before leaving a building in near ruins.

TJ Marcus Christensen of Pocatello has been charged with two counts of felony malicious injury to property,

as well as misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence possession of marijuana possession of drug paraphernalia,

and reckless driving through a Pocatello police investigation.

So around 6 p.m. officers get this report that there was a single vehicle ejection crash.

Oh my god.

They show up.

They identify the driver.

He flees the scene, but what he had done is basically he's driving in his fucking SUV.

So drunk.

Balls out of it gets back in and then goes and crashes through a fucking building.

I know.

I believe he's fine.

I mean, he took off on foot after this.

Oh.

But they said he moved the vehicle several times to ram the garage door and gate to escape.

Oh.

And he's going to have a hefty fucking.

He's a stinker.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The officer told Christensen, stop right there and sit on the curb.

Instead, he stood with a wobble and with glassy eyes replied, I don't have to have a seat.

Oh my god.

And then they searched his car, did his testing and they found out that he is dumbass.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Totally.

Oh god.

Well, that about wraps it up for this week.

If that's all right, we'll do mama.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

But it's time for us to leave the building.

But we'll be back next week with some more coffin spinners.

Antofituary.

And dumbass.

Rim and nose.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.
