This week, the guys sit down to talk about Elvis' April 1956 engagement at the New Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas, including an unusually excellent quality recording of the final performance. Then during Song of the Week, Gurdip starts off strong with a massive 1960 hit for Elvis until Justin hijacks the discussion to take issue with Malcolm Gladwell's psychoanalytic analysis of "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" Finally, Justin curves and swerves onto the "Speedway" where he highlights a hard-rocking metal cover version of the title track to the 1968 flick. Featured Songs of the Week: Gurdip: Are You Lonesome Tonight? Justin: Speedway **Please note: This episode includes explicit language.**
