After the untimely passing of Elvis Presley, his estate was thrown into disarray.  Investigations into his prescription drug abuse would go on for years and threaten to tarnish his legacy. There were many questions: Was Dr. Nick an enabler? Did the Colonel work him to death? Did he really mix mashed potatoes with sauerkraut?

Elvis's only daughter, Lisa Marie, grew up in the midst of this chaos. Her own journey brought her to Scientology, Michael Jackson and being the sole heir of the Presley estate. Eventually, she followed in her dad's footsteps and became a recording artist, releasing multiple albums. But sadly, she also inherited his addiction to pain killers. 

In the latter part of her life, Lisa Marie was rocked by tragedy with the sudden death of her son Ben Keough. Now multiple generations of the Presley family have been laid to rest at Graceland far too early.  In this episode, you'll hear the entire convoluted story. The guys also discuss Elvis licensing, the fandom of Nicholas Cage and Tom Hanks' Razzie nomination!

In the months that followed his untimely death, sordid details about his last days would emerge that painted him as drug-addled recluse -- an image his team worked hard to rectify.  On this episode, go beyond the icon: from his controversial relationship with Priscilla Presley to his insane life at Graceland with the "Memphis Mafia."
