• 1:29
  Speaker 1: So I've been away for a while, as many of
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: you know, have you missed me? I missed you. Oh seriously,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: it's been It's been interesting. You see. I'm still in
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the middle of renovations and unfortunately I lost my voice
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: three times in four months, which honestly zero out of
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: ten would not recommend. It was it wasn't It was
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: really tough, and I had recorded an episode, but my
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: voice is awful. I'll probably still release it once I
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: get around to editing it. But even I'm listening to
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: it going ah, I know, it's almost as bad as
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the Shark Arm Murder, where I'm just speaking so fast
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: that even I have trouble understanding what I'm saying. But
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I suppose I should give you a be life update.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I am still working, I'm still doing renovations. I am
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: fully vaccinated, whooo. And you know, with restrictions easing and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: things like that, I've been visiting places very carefully with
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm following all the guidelines. I went to Dublin.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I was filming Indie Epic Museum, so that's the Irish
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Immigration Museum in Dublin. It's like this interactive museum and
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: it is fantastic. I really really enjoyed it. I would
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: absolutely recommend it for anybody who has any interest of
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: you know, history, Irish history, history regarding immigrants or immigration
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: or the diaspora, anything along those lines. Fantastic. Would absolutely
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: suggest everyone go if you're in Dublin. It's just a
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: really really good time. There's a bit where you there's
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: even this like I wouldn't say music and culture, but
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: where they have this bit on the floor to try
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and teach you how to Irish dance and I already
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: have no rhythm. But ah, I sucked. Oh it was
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: so bad. I did surprisingly well on the pub quiz though,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: But I digress. I really hope to go back to
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Dublin soon actually, but I think I'm probably gonna visit
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Sli Go first and then go for a few places
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: from there.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Ah.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: My personal life is a little bit better. So basically
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I came to the conclusion throughout the pandemic that I
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: was going to take better care of myself and look
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: after myself and do things treat yourself, you know, like
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: in parks and rec and you know, yes, I decided
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna treat myself. So I have actually booked a
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: ridiculous hotel in Edinburgh for my birthday November. I am
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: so excited. You have no idea. I am so excited
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: for this. And I am going to film and stuff
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: when I'm there because I'm going to utilize the opportunity
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: while I have it, because you know, I spent so
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: long not caring for myself, in avoiding things. And I
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: think my cousins are trying to organize stuff as well,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: which is really nice. We're all starting to like reconnect,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: which is really nice. Oh and then at turn of events,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I actually deleted my dating apps, my dating apps my phone.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I'm content right now
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: with how things are going. I don't want to be
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: actively looking for other stuff right now. I think I'm
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: good the way things are my personal life right now.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: And that's all I'm going to say in a subject.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: But anyway, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, quit
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: your jibber jabber in fact me, In fact you I will.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: But first we have to get our source on. So
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: this week's episode, I decided to go for some modern
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: history and I thought it's time to talk about a
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Sleay's bowl because I want to talk about how Elvis
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Presley was human trash. Our sources today are Elvis What
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Happened by Steve don Levy, Elvis Presley, A Southern Life
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: by Joel Williamson, Elvis and Me by Priscilla Presley, and
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite resources, find a death dot Com. Yes,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I am, in fact a death hag. Let's face it,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: You're not surprised, okay. Elvis Presley the absolute gobermouch, So
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: let's get to it. Elvis Aaron Presley was born on
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: January eighth, nineteen thirty five, in Tupelo, Mississippi. I feel
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: like I've pronounced that wrong anyway. To vernon Elvis Presley,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I'm gladys love Presley and like the rest of his life,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: this was not smooth sailing. Thirty five minutes before Elvis
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: came into the world, his identical twin brother, Jesse Garren Presley,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: was stillborn. His father was basically of German, Scottish and
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: English descent. His mother was like Scott's Irish, a bit
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: of French, and possibly a little bit of Native American,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: and like many white Americans, believed that their great great
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: grandmother was some kind of Cherokee princess his mom. So
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Elvis is like really close to his mom, like super
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: close to his mom. You know those boy moms you
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: get that are weirdly obsessive and have some sort of Yeah,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: that's what Gladys was.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Like.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: He was super super close to his mom and she
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: was a very very dominant personality. Anyway, in nineteen forty eight,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the family moves to Memphis, Tennessee, and Elvis he loved
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: singing in church. Good for him, But it wasn't until
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: nineteen fifty four where his music career really takes off.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Elvis gets to quit his job as a truck driver
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: because he is signed by a record label, and by
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: nineteen fifty six he is this massive, massive star. See,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: things were really lucky for him. He lucked out at
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: this time period because in the sort of fifties sixties,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: this is where the teenager, the concept of the teenager
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: really comes into fruition. It just like appears so lucky
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: for him. I'm lucky for you know, fourteen year old
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: girls everywhere. This becomes his fan base, like Beatlemania. Wherever
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Elvis went there was a swarm of teenage girls. So
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: nineteen fifty six, Heartbreak Hotels comes out. It's his first
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: number one. He starts starring in movies. You know, everything's
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: going well for him. He purchases Graceland in Memphis, and
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: he gets his aids and his bodyguards to bring fourteen
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: year old girls over to Graceland so that they can
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: strip down into white underwear and have pillow fights and
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: tickle flights and wrestle. Sometimes Elvis would even join in
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: in the wrestling. How disgusting. So when he's twenty two,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: he's going on tour. So yeah, Elvis starts going on tour.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: And whenever Elvis is on tour, there was a plethora
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: of teenagers and thirteen year olds he wasn't interested in.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: But once they hit fourteen, it was like it was
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: the magic number or something, and he was like, yay,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: this is it just creepy. He didn't like to sleep
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: alone like ever. He always wanted a girl in his bed,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: and he always had his aids bring him like, you know,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: like a steady stream of girls and they'll be like
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: it was a different time. The argument only works if
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the majority people in that time period believed it to
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: be appropriate. And let me assure you they did not,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: especially the mothers of these girls. A child is still
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: a child. So he starts starring in movies and he
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: becomes a bigger star, and he becomes really controversial because
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: he's like shaking his hips and he's this weird sex symbol.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: So not only is Elvis appropriating moves and music from
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: you know, the black community and black music, rock and
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: roll is all stolen from black people, which is you know,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: already putting him on a dogy list for some people.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: He then his whole appeal. The people who are obsessing
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: over him are teenage girls, which is like another whole thing.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: He's poisoning the minds of the youth, which in most
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: cases I'll be like, ah, yeah, whatever, But in fairness,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: he's a slavable, so I'm not gonna agree with them
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: in this one. So in nineteen fifty eight, Elvis's mother
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: dies and Elvis does not take this well. When Gladys's
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: coffin is being placed into the grave, Elvis does the
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: extreme mama's boy thing and physically leaps into the grave,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: like he jumps in on top of on top of
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the coffin, like I don't care who you are. That
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: is not normal behavior. So he's drafted. He's stationed in
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: West Germany and he meets the young Priscilla. So she
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: heard Elvis was there and she wanted to meet him.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: So one of other guys was like, I can totally
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: arrange this for you. And she gets introduced to Elvis
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: and they start dating, and her parents originally are like,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: dear God, no, let's not be having this, you know,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: because you know, there's a ten year age difference, there's
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: a decade in between them, and that's that's a bit
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: much for them. But eventually, you know, they get to
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: know Elvis and they're like, he is a kind young gentleman.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: And remember Elvis didn't like sleeping alone, so he the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: twenty four year old man, had a fourteen year old
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: child sleeping in his bed beside him. And Elvis was
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: like super into four play, partially because he had a
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: weird obsession with the virgins and virginity and motherhood. So
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: him and Priscilla are daring and they're basically doing everything
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: but anything but heteronormative penetrative sex, everything, but and she's
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: begging him to like finally do it, but his weird
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: obsession with like virginity in motherhood. Like he thinks motherhood
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: is this sacred, sacred thing, and he could not have
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: sex with a woman if she had given birth, like
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: if she was what he believed to be a mother,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: he couldn't do it. It was just something that physically
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: repulsed him to his core. He just couldn't be at that. So, yeah,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Priscilla moves into Gravesland. She gets permission from her parents
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: to fly over because she's still like seventeen or something,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: and then she gets like grounds to be able to stay.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: He basically does a sort of adoption thing in order
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: to keep her with him, but anyway, she ends up
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: moving into Graceland. So when he finally starts, you know,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: sleeping with Priscilla, he would basically pull out and pray.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: He believed that not coming inside her kept her a virgin.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Somehow he'd managed to twist it in his head. But
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: that's how I don't know anyway, So he does that,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: he basically and they start taking like drugs and booze,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: and he takes photos and he keeps them all in
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: this silver case and their photos and videos, and he
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: has these two way mirrors installed in Graceland. So he
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: can have these wild parties and he can watch people
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: have sex because he's a fucking creep and without their consent,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I might add, like, if someone's into that, I'm not
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: here to yuck anybody's yum. But like, if you're into that, fine,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: but consent, consent is key, you know what I mean.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: So anyway, he brings women into the bedroom so that
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: they can simulate having sex with Priscilla and he can
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: film it, photograph it, so on and so forth. So
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: after a couple of years of them living in Sittin
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: as it were, his manager is like, you need to
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: marry her because it will ruin your image if you don't.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: He didn't want to get married, obviously, but they do.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: They get married. He you know, doesn't pull out in time. Surprise, surprise,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: and Priscilla becomes pregnant. So when Priscilla becomes pregnant, he
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: just can't touch her. He's done. He's not into that
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: at all. He just stops, like, he just stops. He's
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: like no again, because he has this weird obsession with
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: motherhood and that now that she's a mother, she can't
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: be touched then because he is an absolute Kretin continues
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I should say, sleeping with other women, other girls, preferably virgins,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: preferably fourteen year olds. And this continues, so he's having affairs,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: and he's having affairs for years, and then Priscilla's like, no,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I can't be in this loveless marriage anymore, and she
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: ends up having affairs of her own. So eventually she
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: goes to Graceland and she tells him, I'm leaving you
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: for karate instructor Mike Stone, and Elvis does not like
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: this information, and Elvis, being an emotionally stunted piece of shit,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: then forces himself upon her, telling her this is how
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: how a real man makes love to a woman. And
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: then he rapes her. He hits her, and then he
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: rapes her. But even she, because of the time period,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: struggled to see that as an assault. She just said
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: it was forceful and uncomfortable and unwanted, but that's just
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: how it was. Elvis even tries at one point to
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: hire a hitman to kill Mike Stone, but it doesn't work.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: So in the seventies, just before like he and Priscilla separate, separate,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: he starts seeing Joyce Bova, who is this virgin, and
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: when she finally does relent to his charms, shall we say,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: she realizes he's not. He's really good at warring people,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: but like when he actually performs in the bedroom, he's
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: lackluster at best. So, and this is reported by like
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Sybil Shepherd, Beverly Lee, Joyce, Bova, so on and so forth.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: So Joyce finds it she's pregnant, but Elvis said if
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: they were, if she ever had a baby, he would
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: never touch her again. So she had an abortion and
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: didn't tell him. So the next woman in his life
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: was Linda Thompson, Miss Tennessee nineteen seventy two, also a virgin, surprise, surprise,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: So basically she ended up becoming the caretaker for Elvis.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: She moved into Graceland. She would have to care for him.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: She would have to watch over him whenever he took drugs.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Sometimes he'd fall asleep while eating and she would have
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: to dig food out of his mouth to make sure
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: he didn't choke to death. So he's like going a
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: bit nuts. He's constantly eating, he's taking up his boozing,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: he's on drugs. He's basically trying to fill a void. Apparently,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: no fourteen year old virgin can, and because he's like
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: constantly spending money, he has to fire three of his bodyguards.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: So eventually Miss Tennessee leaves because she can't be dealing
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: with this, and Elvis sets a sight ights on Miss Tennessee.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Nineteen seventy six Ginger Aldron. So basically, Ginger and our
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: sister Terry went to meet Elvis and he challenged them
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: to a wrestle and her big sister Terry won, and
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: so Elvis got rid of works. He didn't feel very macho,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: and he had a thing for Ginger because she was,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: you know, because she looked innocent, and he started spending
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: money when out her family loved bombing her. But Ginger wasn't. Like,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Ginger looked innocent, but she wasn't the wallflower that he
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: was used to. So she loved going to parties and
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: bars and clubs and hanging out with six a gas,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: And she wasn't. She wasn't just gonna wait at home
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: and perform for him like a dancing monkey whenever he
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: fucking wanted, because you know, see how her priorities. So
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: he decides to be a manipulating bastard and uses his
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: money and his power to you know, help help her
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: mom get a divorce and landscape her fucking and like
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: landscape the house and give her a swimming pool and
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: all this other stuff. Also in addition, furthermore, and in
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: a move that surprises absolutely fucking no one, are we
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: really surprised that Elvis was abusive One time when she
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: decided she wanted to leave, Elvis got angry at her
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: and fired a shotgun at her surprise. Surprise, she's diad.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: So Elvis is like constantly eating. He's you know, again,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: trying to fill this hole. And so he's got this
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: yogurt addiction of all things, and he's like, bring me
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: more yogurt, ginger, So she tells him he doesn't need
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: any more yogurt, and he gets mad and they go
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: to sleep, and she is awakened by the sound of
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: a fifty seven magnum pistol being shot because he has
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: shot the headboard just above her head to quote unquote
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: get her attention. So on August fifteenth, nineteen seventy seven,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Elvis had friends over at Graceland. He played the piano.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: He's been singing until the morning. He goes and plays
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: some racquet bottle. He was gonna tax codeine and this
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: other an achoric pain reliever, partly for dental pain and
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: about half it. In the morning, he goes to the toilet.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: I know, the common myth is that Elvis died on
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: the toilet. No, Elvis didn't die on the toilet. Elvis
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: died on the floor between the toilet and the bedroom.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: So he was actually found on the floor of the
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: dressing room. So he was basically on his knees, hunched
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: over with his trousers around his ankles. So he probably
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: started to die on the toilet but then made it
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: just about to the dressing room where he collapsed. So basically,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: there's vomit everywhere. There's vomit in the adjacent room. There's
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: vomit on the floor, there's vomit in the shag carpeting,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: in the bathroom. It's it's everywhere. So by two pm,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Ginger's leg whereas Ah. She goes and finds him, and
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: she calls, you know, obviously the hospital come in. They
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: grab him, they take him to the hospital and he's
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: he's already been dead for a while, but everyone's panicking
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: to the point where they're shoving the breathing apparatus down
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: his throat so hard they break his front teeth, and
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Elvis is eventually pronounced dead three point thirty pm on
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: the sixteenth August nineteen seventy seven. And Elvis came into
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: the world in drama, and he left the world and
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: in drama. But he wasn't finished yet because on the
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: day of his funeral, there was this vigil being held
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: outside of Graceland and this drunk driver comes careening around
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: the road hits three teenage girls of the vigil. One
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: gets thrown in the air, one is dragged under the car,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: and one is pinned to the front. Two out of
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: the three girls die. Thus ends the story of Elvis.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Aaron Presley. So, even though he appropriated black culture by
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: stealing their music, was physically and emotionally abusive and was
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: a misogynist and you know, a pedophile, that makes some
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: bag and chins though, right, that makes up for it apparently,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: so you know me. I like to have recommendations for watching, listening, reading.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: First of all, for watching, I would recommend that you
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: see Hiang Chi. It's so good. I love it so much,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: so good, It's a marvel. Did it again? They just
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: keep knocking stuff at the park. I don't have any
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: reading suggestions this week because I haven't read any books
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: recently apart from obviously my research. Listening wise, I absolutely
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: want to suggest it's not a podcast this time every
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: week Wednesdays, I think from eight thirty it's either eight
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: or eight thirty GMT sci Fi Radio with mister Vestik.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: It's sci fi for your WiFi. It's not always like
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: sci fi like themes and music and stuff. You can
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: basically request anything, but it is good fun and I
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: highly recommend you go listen. But that is everything, and
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I'm tired, and I just realized how long this isn't
