What artifact of Elvis' did Lisa Marie treasure most? How did F.D.R.'s yacht and Elvis raise money for St. Jude? What did Tom and the TCB band get up to in The Jungle Room? How did Jeff get appointed as Priscilla Presley's security detail by Jerry Schilling? All these questions and more are answered in this episode of "Talkin'"!
