Starting point is 00:01:22 I'm with the force. The force is with me. I'm with brun. The bro is with me. Guys, I am on my period. I'm worried I'm going to stand up from this fucking desk. And there's going to be a big guru staying up.
Starting point is 00:01:34 my back. There's going to be a big fucking durusain. Because you know, Imperial Blood Sistilok, God, I look like fat Elvis. Big busty triple Dib Elvis. Triple H tits Elvis. Busting out the sports bra Elvis, bro. Mask, tuck Elvis. Honey, get into this Elvis Vegas Tuck. Oh, I tuck for the Brodsky report. You bet your fucking ass. I'm tucked under this desk, Mommy Honey Girl. Okay. Happy almost Halloween, seriously. What is it?
Starting point is 00:02:17 October 20th? Holy shit. Where did 2026 go? Oh, my God, y'all! So, you were this little. I remember you and you were this little. I used to wipe your butt. I used to change your diapers.
Starting point is 00:02:39 You know that I've seen a hoo-ha. I've seen that hoo-ha. Why do older adults say that shit, bro? I used to change your diapers. I've seen your butt hole. You said. I'm 32. Oh, good to see you.
Starting point is 00:02:55 By the way, I'm 32. So, awesome. You've seen my butthole. Guys, this wig is like, it's shedding crazy style. There's pubes all over the desk. There's like little Elvis pubes. Pelvis. Pubic Elvis.
Starting point is 00:03:11 All right, guys. We're going to talk all things Elvis today. We're going to kind of deep dive into some of the Elvis lore. We're going to. RIP, Elvis, you woulda love Stella Lefty. RIP, Elvis, you woulda love Stella Lefty. And what was his thing? White guys loved to do fucking martial arts, bro.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Robert Downey Jr. loves martial arts. Elvis loved a hood. What is that? Like, I do wonder what that is. It's like a, that's the closest thing a white guy can think of that's like meditating and praying. The closest thing that a white guy can think of to the universe is like, being a black belt. Like, what is that?
Starting point is 00:03:58 Big triple fucking h tics. More big fucking tics. Sure. Whatever. All right. Elvis. We're called in a mama. It's chunky.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Mama, they trap me in the broskey report, mama. I would like to make a public apology, actually. I'd like to just take a second. Let's get serious. I owe a public apology to Austin Butler for the way I act. in 2020, from early 2022 to late 2022, even into 2023. I really was weird about, I really was weird about the Elvis movie. Like, I really, really was weird about it in a way that is, it was cute at the time,
Starting point is 00:04:45 but now it's a bit unforgivable, really. I would drive myself to the theater. This is not a joke. Once, multiple times a week. Noah Cyrus and I bonded over this because she was the same as me. we would go to the theater alone multiple times in a week to go watch Elvis.
Starting point is 00:05:03 I would pick the latest screening like 10 p.m. because I knew no one would be there. It would be like a Tuesday night when like whatever. I would go see Elvis. I would sit middle. I'd get all my snackies and I would watch it and just goon. It was just goon in the theater. Because I was like,
Starting point is 00:05:20 Austin Butler, Austin Butler Elvis. Fat Elvis shit on a toilet, died on a toilet. Austin Butler. Oh, la la love. I loved that fucking movie. Like that early part, when he first sings, what's it? Mama, I want to play house with you.
Starting point is 00:05:40 That whole scene, oh my fucking God. When he performed in the stadium, or no, what show was that? I haven't seen it in so damn long. You would think I remember more of it. I hyperfixated on that movie in a way that I think was a bit of post-COVID trauma. post-COVID trauma bonded-ing edge to that movie. Because I think it was like, oh, we can finally go to the theater again. I don't have to wear a mask.
Starting point is 00:06:05 It was like me time. I could get out of the house, go do it. Just go go goon in private. It was awesome. Saving private goon. So I'm like really thankful to the Elvis movie. I'm thankful to Baz Luhrmann because you guys really, that movie did something for me spiritually that very little,
Starting point is 00:06:21 very little has done sense. That's not true. I gooned to House the Dragon. I gooned to Mandalorian. I gooned to fucking the call of duty phase. I gooned to call a duty characters to the point of buying a cameo
Starting point is 00:06:35 from the guy who does the fucking voice for Ghost. That was, I think in real time, we can all say, that was my rock bottom. That was rock bottom and you guys were laughing at me. And that's fucked. That truly, that's a woman at her worst.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Like, buying cameos from voice actors to goon to. Like, that's a different level. And then sometimes I see comments like, I miss when she was like this. Do you? I don't. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:07:02 That is truly my lowest and awesome that is documented. All right. Let's get into it. Oh, my Elvis glasses. Just broke them. Okay, my obsession with the Elvis movie aside, I had a real Elvis obsession when I was in middle school
Starting point is 00:07:18 and then also after the movie. I, of course, I read Priscilla's book, Elvis and me. I read like all this. I was really deep into it. Then I watched Priscilla, of course, and it came out. And look, shout out Jacob Belordy,
Starting point is 00:07:31 friend of the realm, friend of the show, Jacob Allorty. But like, I gotta give it up to Austin. Man, that's my Elvis. Hashtag not my Elvis. Okay? Jacob Lordy, that's my Frankenstein's monster. That's my Frankenstein's monster.
Starting point is 00:07:47 But that is hashtag not my Elvis. I think he did a good job. But Austin Butler, damn. he's that fat suit he's caught a no um
Starting point is 00:07:58 I really really like thinking about it now I actually just got speechless for a second because it took me back to watching that scene for the first time where he's like
Starting point is 00:08:06 doing it oh shit the first Vegas show shit what the fuck where did that come from all right anyway
Starting point is 00:08:27 y'all I got super high the other night with Elizabeth that he watched he watched the fucking Hamza and Martin, Martin, Martin, we watched them got caught in a hailstorm. And I was so high, I have not laughed that hard in for, like, and I laugh very hard all the time.
Starting point is 00:08:54 That was a euphoric experience. Genuinely, I would really recommend taking a marijuana edible, watching that specific slushy noobs video of them just like having a nothing day. And then it's like the worst storm in Toronto history or some shit. It is the funniest thing I have ever seen. In 2026, it might be the funniest thing I've seen. It's ridiculous. It was so, so funny.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Really would recommend that when they're caught in the rain and he's just gagging. Shut up, bro. All right. Elvis. Did he have a middle name? Elvis Presley, full name. Elvis Aaron Presley, of course. course I fucking knew that actually.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Here's some things I know about Elvis off the top of my head. Favorite snack was that fat-ass big guy meal, banana, peanut butter and bacon, bro. And I bet there was butter on it, on some bread. Like that, what I really deeply respect about him actually is that, like, he was unabashedly a big fat guy. Like, not many people are doing big fat guy the way Elvis is doing it towards the end of his life, like just big and fat and, like, living large. Living it up.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Truly, like, you have everything in the world you could ever want. Yeah, I want my mom to make me a bacon banana and peanut butter sandwich. And of course, that shit's probably fucking phenomenal. Because personally, when I'm on my big fat guy shit, I love a maple bacon anything. I love a maple bacon donut. Yeah, my donut has bacon bits on it, bitch. I don't give a fuck. Maple bacon donut.
Starting point is 00:10:34 I love a bacon caramelized, maple, maple, maple, bacon, babel, baby, babel blaze. A bacon barrelized babel blaze. Hey. Oh. Maple bacon caramelized glaze.
Starting point is 00:10:53 You know what I'm talking about it? They make like a chutney. They make like a chutney out of that sometimes. You guys don't understand. I deeply respect that as one of his, His favorite snacks. I mean, like, holy, and he had a bunch of other ones
Starting point is 00:11:07 that were just nasty. Elvis' favorite snacks. Oh, sorry, it was grilled. Oh, my God. Fried grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich made with crisp bacon and cooked in butter or bacon grease. Big fat guy shit.
Starting point is 00:11:28 I love it. Drizzle of honey or marshmallow fluff, bro. His blood vessels were congealed. The preparation of the sandwiches pan-fried and a skillet with butter or bacon grease until golden brown and warm. God damn. Hey y'all, welcome to a new segment I'm calling Booh. It's a working title. It's not my best work.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Where I give the verdict on recent trends and Halloween costumes. As we know, Halloween is right around the corner, so I wanted to give my opinion, as I do, on some costume ideas y'all might be ideating on. Okay, let's start with what's in this year. Okay, I'm talking to return to classics. Vampire. Witch. Scarecrow, Frankenstein's monster, a bat. Okay, a bat is a good one.
Starting point is 00:12:17 I'd also like to suggest men dressed as sexy nurses. I really would like to throw that into the cauldron. Inflatable costumes. I'd like to see more of it. I laugh every time I see an inflatable costume. Keep it up, fellas. And by fellas, I mean, everyone. Fellas is a gender-inclusive term.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Dressing up as someone you know in your real life. It's hilarious. Dress up as your dad, dress up as your boss, dress up as your local neighborhood guy. It's very funny. Dressing up as inanimate objects. One of my friends dressed up as the space needle one year, and that's funny.
Starting point is 00:12:51 Okay, here's what's out this year. I don't want to see this stuff, and I'm serious. Couples costumes. Sheeple, wake up. You're an individual. You're literally sheeple. You're a follower, you're a follower, or be an individual, be your own person. Low effort costumes.
Starting point is 00:13:07 I don't want to see any more of this. This is my Halloween costume t-shirts. This, no t-shirts on Halloween. None of these low-effort costumes. I'm serious. If you're a cat and you wear all black and you draw whiskers on, not cutting it. I need a little bit more effort from you.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Plus, you look like an idiot, and we all wish you'd go home early. So, okay, another thing that's out this year. Dressing for your gender. Out. gender bending this Halloween. Go with something, you know, not you. Go with something that feels a bit out of your comfort zone because you just might find a new comfort zone. Also out. Scary, gory costumes. I don't want to see that. I want to see everyone dressed as cartoon characters and like monsters. Like that's funny to me. I don't want to see something scary. And in that vein, I don't want to see any
Starting point is 00:13:57 costumes oozing liquid. Oozzy, ooh, ooh, blood. And that's funny to me. I don't want to see something scary. And I don't want to see that. And also sit next to me on the couch and it gets on my costume. Now I'm mad. I don't want to see it. Okay, now that we've gotten my do's and don'ts for Halloween out of the way, I would like to reveal to you my personal favorite, 2026 Halloween costume.
Starting point is 00:14:20 The Smyrnoff Ice bottle. And yes, that's me on the box. From the box. Now, if you're interested in matching me, You can get your very own, and we can create an army of Smyrnaf Isses. Go to smirnoff.com forward slash merch. They just created a million Smyrnav Isis. Thanks, guys.
Starting point is 00:14:53 And happy Halloween. Elvis Presley's 18 favorite foods. Let's get into it. What the hell is the Elvis ice cream sandwich? Oh my God. Oh, it's the same sandwich. Barbecue chicken bites, oysters Rockefeller. Where are they getting this information?
Starting point is 00:15:11 Fried pickles, they're just like throwing some shit out there. Well, I don't trust you. I don't trust you, tasteofhome.com. You didn't know Elvis. You didn't even talk to him. Oh, here we go, R slash Elvis. A list of, oh my God, just got to chill. A list of items to be kept at Graceland for Elvis.
Starting point is 00:15:29 This list was written circa mid-1960s. All right, let's read this. To be kept in kitchen and house for Elvis at all times every day. Number one, fresh, lean, unfrozen, ground, ronad meat, round meat, ground something meat. One case regular Pepsi's, all right, one case orange drinks. If you know, you know, Elvis and Jalo. Rolls, hot rolls, brown and serve. Cans of biscuits, at least six, hamburger buns, pickles.
Starting point is 00:16:11 potatoes and onions, assorted fresh fruits, all right, cans of sauerkraut, weaners, at least three bottles of milk and half and half cream, thin, lean bacon, I'm so fucking sure, mustard, peanut butter, fresh, hand-squeezed cold orange juice, banana pudding to be made at night, because it's got to congeal in the fridge overnight, I see you Elvis. See, I get him. Ingredients for making meatloaf and sauce. Let me tell you something about meatloaf. I can only speak from my own culture here, all right? I don't know what other culture's relationship to meatloaf is. I'm not going to act like I do, all right? But what I can tell you is I probably am the resident expert on meatloaf. I grew up eating meatloaf. And not only did I grow up eating it, I grew up loving it. What the
Starting point is 00:17:03 fuck is meatloaf made of? I don't know. You're asking me? I don't know. I don't know. I don't care. I don't care what meatloaf is made of. I'm still going to eat it. I'm going to put ketchup on it. I'm going to put fucking ketchup and mustard and barbecue sauce on it. I don't give a fuck, bitch. I love meatloaf. I ordered DoorDash the other day and I ordered meatloaf from this place. And I literally was like, it's not good meatloaf. Like I have a ranking system of meatloaf. drooling. Let me go ahead and swallow. Thinking about meatloaf.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Meatloaf, to me, I don't know if it's beef. I don't know if it's turkey. I don't know if it's all the awful parts of a pig or some bullshit like that. Meatloaf has a texture that, when paired with something like a mashed potato,
Starting point is 00:17:54 when paired with something that has a sort of soft pudding-like texture, I find very satisfying. Taylor makes fun of me. Sierra makes fun of me, my sister, make something called Bobo Mash.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Now, Bobo Mash, thank you for asking, is when I combine all the food on my plate into a casserole. And I mash it all together because that's what I like. That's what I like. Because listen to this. Meatloaf, crush it up a little bit.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Mashed potatoes. Mix those together. A little bit more of the meatloaf sauce on top. Maybe, let's say you have a side of green beans. Throw a green bean in there. It's all going. in the same place. It all complements each other. I just mix it together, put it all in my mouth at once. Instead of, oh, take a few bites of meat, love, oh, I'm going to take a spoonful
Starting point is 00:18:43 match potatoes and then green beans and it's all in my mouth same time. Fucking does anyway. You're eating it anyway. Bobomash. I've made bobo mash since I was a kid. I don't know what the fuck is wrong. I mean, I'm sure a lot of y'all could diagnose what's wrong, because there's probably a laundry list. And you've probably observed a lot of behavior for me over the years that is, you know, concrete textbook evidence. If someone was seeking to diagnose an ADHD patient, look no further than the Brodkew report. Now, does this have any bearing on my life? No.
Starting point is 00:19:15 No, it doesn't. Because I don't know, it's not fixable. And I don't know if I want to fix it, okay? I've got my cheesy Elvis tuck under the table, and I'm in a wig, and I'm experiencing gender euphoria. I like that. I feel like those girls on weird obsession, strange addictions, where they eat deodorant. And they say, I don't give a fuck.
Starting point is 00:19:34 I love it. I love to chew on my mattress. It feels good on my jaw. I get it. I like to wear a wig and be bald and tuck under the table. It's fine. Okay, no, but seriously, guys, Bobomash. Bobo Mash.
Starting point is 00:19:54 I first started doing this when I was probably like nine or ten. And we'd go to Golden Corral after church on Sundays when I'd go, we'd go visit my grandparents. And I would make what at the time I did not know was mock one. of Bobomash. It was a very early iteration of Bobo Mash. And I would just mix together mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes is the ingredient to Bobo Mash, by the way. If you're not gathering that, you need a bonding agent.
Starting point is 00:20:21 You need a bonding agent. Mashed potatoes will do the trick every time. Nash potatoes also easy medium, all right? You just need a little salt. You don't need to fucking season mashed potatoes. Because nine times out of ten, I don't trust the way that they've seasoned them. because they probably haven't. It's just the powder mashed potatoes that they just mix up.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Add a little salt. It's never enough salt. Don't worry about salt. I'll add my own salt. I got to salt. I'll worry about the salt. That's why I used to travel with onion salt in my purse. Don't fucking worry about it.
Starting point is 00:20:51 I will season it because I don't trust you guys to do it. Oh my God, I ate at this restaurant recently. They had Lowry's seasoned salt and Lowry's seasoned pepper. Bitch! I didn't know Lowry's was doing all that. Lowry's, y'all have been holding it down in a lot of seasoned households for a very long time. So shout out to Lowry's really quick. Lowrys, if you'd like to sponsor the podcast, please reach out via my business email because I love,
Starting point is 00:21:17 Lowry's Season Salt has got me through a lot of hardships in my life. Onion Salt as well. So I really feel like BoboMash started there because I used to do mashed potatoes. And now here's where I'm going to lose some of y'all, if I haven't lost you already. Corn. Sweet corn. all right it's going to offset the saltiness of the mashed potato sweet corn add that in there it's a good texture it's good pop it's like boba it's like boba all right now on top of all this because corn doesn't
Starting point is 00:21:46 really count as a vegetable because our bodies can't process corn and i don't want to hear about it from the nutritionist i don't i whatever i say goes all right on this podcast whatever i say goes and i mean that if i said it it's true so corn mashed potatoes and they used to have these little chicken nuggets, chicken popper things, throw those in there. But cut them in half. Very important, because I have a small mouth and I will choke. You have to be careful around me because I will choke. You got to cut my food up for you feed me.
Starting point is 00:22:15 Because I'm like a baby. And I'm slapping the table. And I won't eat food unless it's been bonded to mashed potatoes. Because it goes down easier. Because I got a small throat. Anyway, I would mix all that up. And that would be on it. And you know what's even thicker is that would be my dessert?
Starting point is 00:22:32 hurt. Like I obviously, Golden Crowley, you can have 30 plates. No one cares. Everyone there's big. It's fine. I'd have my first plate and I'd get, you know, chicken and a vegetable and bread, mainly bread. It was mainly bread. And then whatever. And then I would go back for BoboMash. I would make BoboMash on a plate because you need to be able to cut shit in half. You need to be able to mix it with your fork and your spoon or whatever. I'm folding it like fucking cold stone creamery. They chop it up like this and then they scoop it all. They get that. That's how I was doing. Bobomash. So I was making Bobo Mash as a kid. So anyway, what the hell? What are we talking about? Oh, meatloaf. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Yeah. I really, I fuck heavy with meatloaf. So next on the list, he was doing brownies to be made at night. I wonder why. Because brownies are better warm. Brownies are better straight off the oven. Ice cream, vanilla and chocolate, shredded coconut, fudge cookies. Gum. 24 cigars. Oh, no, sorry, these are in order. Gum, cigars, cigarettes. Driston.
Starting point is 00:23:42 What the hell is Driston? Oh, it's a nasal spray. Over-the-counter medication brand used to provide fast-acting relief from nasal and sinus congestion. I've never even heard of this. I usually use Flonase. I hate that shit. I hate anything that goes up your nose.
Starting point is 00:23:57 I feel like a baby. I feel like a baby when they suck booger out of your nose. Super animist? I don't know what that says. Contact. Short sweets. Spirament gum matches. All right.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Honestly, not as strange as I thought, but definitely like, you need that at all times. Someone commented, I don't know what 27 is. Yeah, me either. Super Anahist. Damn, okay, he was like stopped up in the nasal region. I wonder if he was allergic. Three packs of spearmint gum, three packs of double mint gum, three packs of juicy fruit gum.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Sookritz. Antibiotic red boxed. Feinament gum. Fein. That's fucking Elvis. That is an Elvis meme. Fein. Fein.
Starting point is 00:25:00 Feinement. It's a laxative? What to hell? Fien a mint was a popular, over-the-counter, mint-flavored chewing gum laxative. Girl, bring this back. It was marked as a gentle, chewable remedy for constipation, so he couldn't breathe through his nose,
Starting point is 00:25:18 and he also couldn't shit through his butt. Fart goes the butt. That fucking Luke Brian meme. Slam goes the door. Fart goes the butt. But truly unbelievable. Like, what an unbelievable life. Your wife's 14, you're 30, you can't poop,
Starting point is 00:25:42 you're clearly allergic to something, you're eating full-blown lard, and you're performing at the peak of your game. Unbelievable. Like, wow. If I can dream, you caught in a trap. All right, everyone, I need everyone to go as fat,
Starting point is 00:26:01 Elvis this year and tag me. I'm looking to create an army of fat Elvis's. Let me put my glasses on. I want to create an army of fat elvices. They can't stop us all. You just created a million fat elvices. They just made a million fat elvises. Okay, I need to know what did he, what did Elvis use to dye his hair? Black shoe, polish when he was a teenager and could not afford professional products. I bet he smelled fucking crazy. Here's my, I really do have a question, and I feel like I've tried to ask my grandparents this before, and they just like won't tell me.
Starting point is 00:26:43 Did people smell fucking bananas in the 50s? In the 60s, like, I don't know if deodorant, they weren't doing 24-hour anti-perseparate anti- odor. I really don't believe it. I bet y'all stunk, for real. but also, look, a lot of things introduced in the 21st century that, you know, are not natural or not, it's not even not good for you, full-blown toxic to you that we ingest on a daily basis. What's that statistic?

Starting point is 00:31:19 Thank you so much. Anyway, yeah, I really do believe that, um, People smell, I'm actually going to call Mimi. I got to call my Mimi. Hey, Mae. Hi, Dolis. I got a question for you. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:41 I really am wondering the difference between, like, nowadays, all of our beauty routines and whatever we do, and of course, all of it's toxic and full of plastic and arsenic and lead, whatever. In the 50s and 60s, do you remember people stinking? You mean a body out? Yes, like bad breasts, stinking B.O. Puss. Really? Why? He used to sit next to me in school, and he would pick his boogers and eat them. And he also smells so bad.
Starting point is 00:32:21 His feet smell, I mean, his body, I think it was the underarm, smell like rotten seeds. Oh, God. I'm not joking. Why? Because I was just thinking about it. I was like, we have everything today, like deodorant, antiperspirant, like, you know, there's perfume. I mean, it's so accessible. And of course, all of it's probably toxic.
Starting point is 00:32:43 But I'm like, I always wondered, especially because y'all were doing baths, like community sister baths. And like, you'd share the water and whatever. I'm just like, I don't, everybody had to smell like poop and butt. Not everybody, because if you didn't. He didn't take a bath, he took a bath in perfume. Right. Which is not an alternative. No.
Starting point is 00:33:09 All it did was make stinky feet and perfume together. Oh. And did you have air conditioner in the school? Only for half of my school time. Like high school? Uh-huh, we did. Okay. In our house, we didn't have an air conditioner.
Starting point is 00:33:29 Was it as hot as? it is now in Texas back then? I guess. I didn't notice because I was a kid. Right. But, you know, we had what was called an attic fan. It was in a ceiling
Starting point is 00:33:44 in one of your hallways and it sucked air up in it. And you'd leave windows open so that it could suck the air in. Oh, so it's like a reverse AC. It'd blow the hot air out. Yeah. And
Starting point is 00:34:00 And dad was, I was saying, because you were laying in bed sweating, and the air passing over, you would evaporate and make you cool. Now, that's interesting, okay. Yes. And the thing you should wake up in the morning and everything was wet. Oh. You know, because sucking the dew in, your hair was all curly and your sheets were damp. That sounds awful. Lots of fun.
Starting point is 00:34:33 So when, okay, so in school, you had AC in high school. When did you move in for the first time in your house where you had central AC? Was it military housing? No, no. The last year I lived in high school, we, dad put air conditioning in our house. Wow. So that was 1962.
Starting point is 00:35:01 Oh my, that's crazy. And, you know, I used to wear Merle Norman makeup all the way through high school. And we used to put this mask. It was called a mask on your face. And it was red.
Starting point is 00:35:19 And you brushed it on. And it was a liquid. And it turned hard. And if you smiled, it would crack. What was the point? to draw out impurities. Right. It was just lead.
Starting point is 00:35:33 It burned like an M. I bet it did. You took it off and your skin was still red. I bet. From being irritated. That's probably why I got cancer later. Oh my God. They didn't worry about lead, stuff like that back then.
Starting point is 00:35:53 Of course not. You know, so. It's all making sense. I know. It's just crazy. I was just thinking about how, I mean, all tampons and pads have arsenic and lead and every single. There's not one brand. Even the ones that are like organic cotton?
Starting point is 00:36:09 No, those have arsenic too. It's just insane. We went from not using any of that stuff to put everything in it. And then the older it got, the more they put in it. Well, all right. Well, that was my main question is, did people smell? Like, but and B.O. Yes.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Okay, good. Even though they had deodorant and all that stuff, people just didn't use it. You know, it was too much trouble. Okay. But anyway, yes. And people used to eat boogers. So, yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:36:48 Thank you, Mimi. Bye. Love you, bye. Ray, you. Oh, I love, Mimi. Okay, so people did wear deodorant. I'm assuming. I really am curious, what did it look like in the 50s?
Starting point is 00:37:06 What did deodorant look like in the 50s? Looked very different from today's twist-up plastic sticks. Packaging featured small glass jars, metal tins, squeeze bottles, and early spray or roll-on bottles rather than solid plastic tubes. Cream deodorants and jars. Popular brands like Mum Toothy and Rebels. Evlon Aquamarine came in small milk glass jars, opylene glass or metal tins with screw-on metal or plastic caps. Users dipped their fingers directly into the paste or cream to apply it to the skin.
Starting point is 00:37:43 And what the hell was that probably made of? Aquamarine cream deodorant, antiperspirant with land light. Lano light. What is Lano light? Okay, this needs to move immediately. What to hell? Lanolin, lanolin, is a yellowy, waxy substance secreted by the sebaceous glands of wool-bearing animals like domestic sheep. Oh, so it's like animalic?
Starting point is 00:38:18 I bet that shit smelled fucking crazy! Lanolin is harvested from raw wool after it's sheared from the sheep. The wool is washed in hot water through a process called scouring, and machines like centrifuges separate the waxy oil from dirt and debris. God, I bet it smelled crazy. It's widely used in creams to soothe sore or cracked nipples during nursing. It's added to lipsticks, makeup, baby balms, and medical ointments. It's found in leather conditioners, rust preventative coatings, and lubricants. It acts as an emoliant and semi-oclusive moisturizer,
Starting point is 00:38:54 helping to trap existing moisture in the skin and heal chapped lips, dry hands, and cracked skin. Is Landolin still used today? Yes, it is widely used. So I guess if it's, is that considered cruelty free? Do I have any sustainability students who watch? Can y'all let me know? I did a whole course on sustainability reporting and all that, like pink washing, greenwashing, cruelty free, vegan, whatever,
Starting point is 00:39:23 and how all these companies get around a lot of these tags and descriptors. I'm curious. Is cruelty free? does that mean that that specific batch was not tested on animals or that it has no animal products, or is that vegan? Is lanylian vegan? No, it's not vegan because it's an oil extracted from sheep's wool. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Okay. Stappet introduced a famous, flexible, non-breakable plastic bottle with a squeeze pump mechanism that delivered a fine mist. Stappet? Whoa. I've, like, never seen a, oh, that's a cool ad. That's a cool, like, Art Deco ad for deodorant. Poof, there goes perspiration.
Starting point is 00:40:12 Stop it. The original spray deodorant. This is crazy. I feel like I've never seen. I've always seen old toothpaste ads or moisturizer or whatever, but I've never seen deodorant. This is cool. Okay, so people were stinking back then.
Starting point is 00:40:27 I guess that makes sense. Okay, here's what I really want to know. is Grace Land Haunted? You know there's some stories of people that work there. There's got to be. Oh, my. While there's no scientific proof that Graceland is haunted, many visitors, staff members, and even family members report feeling the spiritual
Starting point is 00:40:49 presence of Elvis Presley and his mother Gladys. Okay, well, here's the shit, right? It's like, is this wishful thinking? Because you want to be able to say, I heard the piano, I heard the piano move. Yeah. The one he's playing. The one he used to sit at literally write out, probably. Or is it like actually, you know,
Starting point is 00:41:08 I love a story of someone's cleaning, someone's doing closing shift, and they hear some shit, because that's like, Who's there? Elvis! But it's just me dressed as fat Elvis. Doing karaoke, doing karate,
Starting point is 00:41:24 doing karate karaoke. And I'm ordering kimchi fried rice at the Korean karate karaoke. Mama. People often report hearing, faint music, piano playing, or Elvis singing coming from the private closed-off second floor of the mansion. Former Graceland housekeeper Nancy Rook shared stories of lights turning on and off by themselves, doors slamming, and an unseen force gently tugging her foot while she worked. You're joking.
Starting point is 00:41:55 Here's an interview. Well, and it's from theelvisforum.org. Thank you. Oh, here's some tea. How many years did you end up working at great? So this is a Q&A. with Nancy Rooks, the old housekeeper of Graceland. This is actually T. I'm excited to read this. Question is, how many years did you end up working at Graceland? She said, I worked there until 1977 when Elvis passed. I was there. I was the only one of the maids that was there because one of them was sick and the other one
Starting point is 00:42:22 was at home because she worked nights. The other one had left me that morning to go home so she could get some rest so she could come back that evening. So I was really left there alone that day, that Tuesday. But I told her that I could handle it. I could. If he needed anything, his auntie and I both was both going to fix it anyway. So he came in early that morning from the racket club, him and one of the other bodyguards. He stands on the steps waiting to go upstairs in the kitchen.
Starting point is 00:42:47 I said, you want some breakfast, Mr. Elvis? He says, no, I don't want anything to eat now. I just want to get some sleep. But what I would like is some water. I said, well, okay, that's no problem. So I told Pauline to take him some water upstairs. We didn't carry him water in a big glass like you'd probably drink out of. you remember you used to buy orange juice and it had the hand thing on the side of the jug it had hand clasks on the side where you could hold it but anyway i carried him some ice water upstairs pauline said i ain't never known him to grab that water and drink it like he drank it this morning i said he's probably just tired he just came from playing racket and probably was hot that's why he probably was drinking the water like he drank it she said but i ain't ever seen him do that before constipated He was so dehydrated. He's like, fuck.
Starting point is 00:43:31 Question. How did Elvis look to you that morning? Great. He was planning on leaving that night, going back to California. He was going to drop his daughter off in L.A. and some of the boys had already left. They were already out there in California, so his road manager was here. I don't know how long he had been. I had been in the office with Mr. Presley, Vernon, who is Elvis's father. And the secretary of Mr. Smith had left and went to his trailer back there because he was going to get some rest too, so he could be ready when the night came. He was scheduled to do a show. He packed on some weight. During the summer of 1977, had Elvis packed on some weight? Answer, quite a bit. He gained quite a bit of weight.
Starting point is 00:44:13 Like I would tell people, I would beat up maybe three or four eggs. When I beat them up, I'd put a little cheese in them, put a little onions in them, put a little stuffing in it. Then I would fry as hard and as dry a whole pound of bacon, okay? A lot of people think a pound is a lot, but it might be, but it had about 18 or 19 slices in it. And I had to make sure it didn't have any grease. It had to be dry. That's the way Elvis liked it.
Starting point is 00:44:39 Okay, regular day. Okay, here's the question. Go back to August 16th, 1977. That was probably just a routine day, wasn't it? Here's the answer. You're right. It was just a regular routine day, but Ginger, who's Elvis's girlfriend at the time, Ginger Alden, what the hell, was upstairs with him?
Starting point is 00:44:59 Why do I not know who Ginger Alden is? And she's sexy. Well, he certainly had a type, didn't he? This is kind of T. Are y'all kind of like, biving with me the way that I'm like really into this? Okay, Ginger was upstairs with him. Now, the two boys supposed to be there that day, like a bodyguard, just watching to make sure everything's okay. That was David Stanley.
Starting point is 00:45:20 He was not there. He came in that day, him and some other boy. The other boy's name was Mark White, but he left. He started to go upstairs to check on him, but he asked me, is Ginger there? I said, yeah, Ginger's still upstairs. She hadn't left. He said, well, there ain't no need for me to go up there. I guess everything's okay.
Starting point is 00:45:38 I said, well, I don't know about that because I heard a lot of noise up there. So he goes upstairs to the black doors, but he didn't open them or anything. He just came on back down. So later on about 10 minutes to 2, the telephone rings on the intercom. I picked it up and I thought they were probably calling for their breakfast. Ginger said, who's down there? I said, there's nobody down here but me. Aunt Delta's gone to the drugstore.
Starting point is 00:45:59 Al's gone to pick some stuff up for tonight. His dad and the rest of them are in the office. His grandmother's in her room. She said, something bad has happened up here. I said, what is it? She started crying and I said, oh my God, it must be bad. I put the telephone down then. I went upstairs myself because I thought maybe he had did something.
Starting point is 00:46:18 Sometime he might bust some glass up there. Very team. I went upstairs and I went down the little hall and into the dressing room area and I seen him on the floor. I said, oh my God, what is this? I ran back downstairs and by that time Al Strata was coming in the door. I said, I'll go upstairs. Something's happened up there. He said, what is it?
Starting point is 00:46:37 I said, go and see right now. So he goes up there and looks. He comes back downstairs. I said, don't you stop and look at me, do something. So by that time, he had called his daddy and the road manager, Joe Esposito. So Joe Esposito comes inside and he runs upstairs. By that time, he called his daddy and his cousin, and they came in and they went upstairs. And with the hollering they were doing, they just knew he was gone.
Starting point is 00:47:01 So by then, I tried to get in touch with Dr. Nick. I called him on every phone that he had. I didn't get any answer. So his auntie was going to try to get her doctor to come out there. And she called him up there in Whitehaven, and he said, nope, he's not my patient. I can't come. What the fuck? That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:47:18 Like, not your patient, you're a doctor. Get to fuck over here. I mean, he was dead anyway, but my God. So he said, I'm sorry, and he didn't come. By that time, somebody had called an ambulance. They had got in touch with Dr. Nick some kind of way. I think Dr. Nick and the ambulance and some of them met up in the gate there almost together. The question says, it sounds to me like an ambulance wasn't called right away. No, they didn't. Not right away. I let them in when they got there. They didn't know how to get upstairs with the stretchers. So I showed them how to handle them stretchers over their heads, going up the steps, and when they got up those steps to bring him back down. But when they brought him back down, he looked just like he was asleep. But he had passed sometime earlier.
Starting point is 00:47:59 He had blue spots on him. On his face you're talking about? Yeah. What time did you hear that loud noise upstairs? About 9.30 in the morning, somewhere between 9.30 and 10 o'clock. But I just thought they were into it. If she hadn't been up there, I wouldn't been checking on him. His auntie would have gone up there and checked on him.
Starting point is 00:48:17 Don't let him up by himself without anybody checking up on him. Question says, now, when they were into it, what do you mean by that? She says, I mean him and her were having an argument about whether she was going to go to California that night or if she was coming in the morning later. He was saying, hell no, you're going to night. If you don't come tonight, then so-and-so, you're not coming out there in the morning. I'll have somebody else. So that's the way the argument went.
Starting point is 00:48:44 What the hell? question says wasn't it kind of sad to work at grace land after Elvis died she said yeah i missed him when he passed away really when he passed away i was sitting in the house sitting at the table and one morning a door slammed so hard but i didn't see no door closed but i heard it i ran out of the house and told the guard to go back in there that somebody was in there and it slammed the door so he goes in there and search the house over I stayed outside because I said maybe someone slipped in there, but it wasn't. I said, that was Elvis. He was angry.
Starting point is 00:49:18 He just slammed the door real hard. He never wanted the home opened up to the public. He wanted the trophy room opened to the public, but he was going to intend to do that himself if he had retired. He was going to let him come through the hall there and go down through the trophy room on back by the swimming pool and on back around. He had decided on doing that. But I stayed on up there at the house until they opened up across the street.
Starting point is 00:49:39 They put the place across the street over there. then I was removed out of the house and put over there across the street at Heartbake Restaurant and rockabillies to run the cash register. Question says, sounds to me like you're saying Graceland is haunted. She said, yeah, well, it was. I'd be down in the trophy room and the lights and things would flash on and off when I'd be cleaning because I worked at night. I would tell Mr. Elvis, now you leave these lights alone, because I got to see. One night I was laying down on the platform where his uniforms, his suits, they had in the middle there,
Starting point is 00:50:11 in the trophy room on exhibit. I was laying down. I tried to sleep and take me a nap, and somebody shook my foot. I said, what is this? I jumped up. I didn't see anybody. I said, Mr. Elvis, I know what you did. You did that to wake me up. She started laughing. That means for me to go to work. So I got up and I hurried out of there. I read somewhere that Elvis and his bodyguards were eating dinner in the dining room and a voice cried out, Elvis. It was his mother's voice. Did you ever hear Elvis's mother's voice? She said no.

Starting point is 00:52:16 I don't even know if it's a residual haunting at that point. It's just like you are, I believe partially probably his spirit is not trapped there, but like wants to stay there. You know what I mean? That was his home. That was, he's probably caught in a loop. This is my theory, okay, from every. everything from talking to my mom and whatever, all the bullshit.
Starting point is 00:52:39 I do believe in a residual haunting, and I do believe that it's just so familiar that it's almost like I'd rather stay here than pass on to the next life. Everything I love is here. Everything I know is here. Crazy. Very, very tea. Okay. To pivot from Elvis for a second.
Starting point is 00:53:00 Let's book club really quick. I read Haunting of Hillhouse. bitch, I was scared as fuck. That book is scary. And what a fun experience, like reading a book and getting scared. Like, what a fun thing. I used to have this friend who, this is like right when I moved to L.A. I do not talk to her anymore.
Starting point is 00:53:26 But I told her like, yeah, I love to read and whatever. And she kind of looked at me and she was like, I'm kind of jealous. And I was like, what do you mean? And she was like, I wish I could read and like make words on a page make me feel something. And I was like, have you ever tried to read? Like, you'd probably enjoy it. You read every day on TikTok. Like, just fucking pick up a book.
Starting point is 00:53:48 Like, it's really not a daunting task. Just pick up a book that you think is tea. It doesn't have to be some highbrow bullshit and just read. Like that, anyway, that sticks with me, her being like, I wish I could make a book could make me cry or a book could make me cry or a book could make me scared. And I'm like, bitch, just didn't read. It will come naturally. It's not a forced reaction. It's not a forced whatever. Like, I'm reading this book with Halloween ambience on my TV late at night alone in my house. I'm scared as shit. It was so good. There's my first Shirley Jackson. I really, really enjoyed Shirley Jackson. And I'm about to start, uh, what's her other one? We have
Starting point is 00:54:26 always lived in the castle. Very excited about that. I don't know. I think it's rated a bit better on Goodreads, but I mean, I don't, good reads doesn't mean shit to me. It's more so a way to log my thoughts on the books and read other people's reviews. But like, with anything, it's so, reading is so subjective. And what you glean from it, you know, other people could say is stupid and what other people enjoy, I could say is fucking stupid. So it's just fun. And I don't know, I just put, please, y'all, 2026, 27, the year of reading. It's the year of the book. It's the year of the physical book. Let's go ahead and pick one up. Let's go thrift one. Let's borrow one from a friend. I'm about to read another Shirley Jackson.
Starting point is 00:55:07 Then after that, I'm going to read the original Alice in Wonderland. I've always wanted to read it. And you know, I'm on my Victorian shit. I love all that shit. I read Tenant of Wellfell Hall. Oh my God, I saw Sense Insensibility. So good. I enjoyed it. Now, I have not read Since Insensibility, okay? I'm not a Jane Austen super nerd. I have Pride and Prejudice. I have Sensibility. I have sense and sensibility, and I think I have persuasion. I've bought them all, like, really pretty copies. But I'm working my way through all the Bronte sisters, and then I'm going to start Jane Austen. I know they're very, very different. But sense and sensibility I really enjoyed. And I haven't seen the other version of it, the one from like 2006 or 1998 or whatever it is. I haven't seen that.
Starting point is 00:55:50 And there's this girl on TikTok who I follow who is a Jane Austen head. Like that bitch is a Jane Austen freak. And I deeply respect it. She's got this super cool Mohawk. She's like, I get her videos all the time. And she, bonjour punks. I really enjoy her. She, like, legally changed her name to Austin or something. Like, and so I was getting a bunch of her videos reviewing the movie and reviewing, even like when Wuthering Heights came out and all that.
Starting point is 00:56:14 And she's just like a loyalist and a traditionalist when it comes to the text. Like, these books are perfect in her view and her mind. And I, of course, haven't read them. So I have no skin in the game. But I really appreciate input from someone who, to its. atomic makeup understands and rides for and defends the bodies of work that inspire all of these adaptations and remakes and whatever, like, and keeps the spirit and tradition of Austenian literature alive. And all that I learned about the, um, girl, the Kelly Clarkson Jane Austen
Starting point is 00:56:57 ring thing. Here's some tea that I found about out through. I wish I remembered her name. She's really cool. I would go look up a Jane Austen lady Mohawk on TikTok. She's awesome. Kelly Clarkson and an auction a few years ago or like 10 years ago bought a personal belonging of Jane Austen, a ring that she used to wear when she was alive, bought it not for, you know, to donate it to a museum or to donate it to a public exhibition or anything, kept it for herself. and wore it around the city, this like national relic of one of the most famous authors to ever live. And rightfully so, in my opinion, fans were pissed off. And it's not even just, it's when something is that old and that precious and it is one of the few remaining original items that someone as important as Jane Austen had, that should be on display for everyone to see.
Starting point is 00:57:57 Like there are things that kind of graduate out of, I'm going to buy this and display. play it in my own home or for my own private enjoyment. There are things that belong to the collective consciousness, like the collective public that should be enjoyed by the public. And so she taught me about that. And I was like, damn, that's crazy. That's crazy. That'd be like me buying the Bronte sisters writing desk and being like,
Starting point is 00:58:21 mine, I'm going to put my coffee on it. That's insane. Like some things just belong to the public, so very tea. Anyway, I think she returned it. Or no, no, no, no, they wouldn't let her leave the country. They wouldn't let her leave the UK with it. They, like, put some form of a travel ban or something on her. And so she had the, I think she ended up selling it or donating it in some capacity.
Starting point is 00:58:43 But crazy. They wouldn't let her leave the country with it. So, yeah, she, like, walked around London just wearing Jane Austen's ring. Oh, crazy. Anyway, loved Haunting of Hillhouse. I'll give you a short little, like, if you want to read it. There's this doctor, this doctor of philosophy, who is, interested in the metaphysical. He's interested in finding concrete evidence, a scientific
Starting point is 00:59:07 exploration of a haunted manner. And he finds this perfect old haunted house that the locals are like, we don't talk about what happened there. Nothing good happens there. It was built 80-something years ago, and it has sat empty for damn near 80 years. People move in and immediately move out. People die there. Like, it's just we hear horrible things. And so he's like, perfect. my experiment. He writes to all these people that he had read stories about in the paper or, you know, in journals about paranormal things that have happened. Paranormal experiences these people have had, whether that's poltergeist-ish activities, things like telepathic things, just coincidences that cannot be explained to the point where they were written about in the paper. It was reported
Starting point is 00:59:56 as news. And so he located these people, these individuals, wrote to them. them because this is a set in the 40s, I believe, 50s, it's set in the 50s. A few right back, it's two girls. And then a member of the family who owns this haunted house, obviously they don't live in it, is brought in. He's kind of like this young guy, just whatever. And so they all are destined to meet in this house and just spend three months there and observe, record, and notate what happens. And girl, some shit happens. In the ending, I'm not going to spoil, but it is quite the ride. Quite the ride. No pun intended. So I really, really enjoyed it. I'm excited. I don't know anything about
Starting point is 01:00:41 Castle, Castle that I'm, Castle that we own. The Castle on. Hi, my name is Carmen Winstead. We've always lived in the castle. I don't know anything about it, so I'm going to start it. And then after I do Alice in Wonderland and Alice through the looking glass, I'm going to go back to Villette. by Charlotte Bronte. And then I'm going to do Burial of the Rats by Bram Stoker. And all these books are kind of shrub, Villette's long.
Starting point is 01:01:09 And Alice in Wonderland, because I have both of the books and one, it's kind of long, but I'm excited. I'm gonna get through it. All right, let's do our shit of the week.
Starting point is 01:01:19 Song of the Week. Okay, through it all, and I hate to say this, but like, he's a monolith in pop culture. I do love Elvis's music. Like, I really,
Starting point is 01:01:29 I have since I was the middle school. I obviously was thrilled for the movie. I still enjoy, he's on a lot of my playlist now. And in the case of Elvis, it is this strange thing of like, you choose, or maybe you don't choose to separate the art from the artist. I don't know if you can. I actually don't believe you can. But what is to be said about the art? If it's fucking great, what's to be said? So that's kind of where I'm at with Elvis. But two of my favorite Elvis songs of all time are Kentucky Rain and Crying in the Chapel. I love those two songs.
Starting point is 01:02:06 And then what I'm watching, I'm watching Hacks. I've only seen, before we had Meg Salter and Hannah Imbinder on, I'd only seen like three episode of Hacks. Look, I'm not an angel. I am not perfect. I'm not Sean Evans, all right? As much as I try to be, I'm not. I'll never be that bold. I am finally watching Hacks
Starting point is 01:02:27 I have never laughed this hard at a fucking TV show in my life Like I hate to be the one that's like Have you guys seen Hacks? Four years later It's finale just aired like this year I'm like fuck But I'm on

I don't know, dude. I'm going to start, I'm going to start braiding my hair and tying it with a bow. It is so, and I look, my Jane Austen girl was bitching about this online that the hair, and I will admit, the hair in this movie,
Starting point is 01:03:12 very not period accurate. Mary Ann has like greasy, stringy hair for all of it. And I know her whole thing is like, she's wild and she runs around. She's outside. She loves nature. She loves nature. sure. But like, girl, she still would have had her hair curled. It's fucking Regency-era Britain. Like, she would have gone out with her hair curled. And her dress buttoned up. Like, I understand her. If we're nitpicking, like, sure. But the overall, I think, telling of the story was beautiful. And I, Daisy Edgar Jones is just the best. I love her. I love Daisy Echo Jones. And her fashion's been killing it for this press store. I just, I love her to death. But yeah, I'm going to start braiding my hair with a bow. I'm just really, I don't, I don't, I'm just really, I don't,
