:09:00
Just stay right there. You got me covered
and my boss can't see me.

:09:06
It's his evil nature, right?
:09:09
Anyway, what I just thought of:
:09:11
Do you know that
Elvis Presley's got a twin brother?

:09:14
Yeah, his name is Jesse Garon.
You know, Elvis' middle name is Aaron.

:09:18
Aaron, Garon. Anyway,
everybody thinks that he died at birth.

:09:22
But my theory is...
:09:23
that his mother didn't wanna raise two kids.
She wasn't expecting twins.

:09:27
She couldn't afford to raise both.
She gave one away.

:09:29
She just sent one off. So Jesse grew up
in Arkansas, or Mississippi, or something.

:09:34
So he didn't know he had a brother, Elvis.
But one day, like, 1968 or '69...

:09:37
he's looking at himself in the mirror
and says, "Damn, I look like Elvis."

:09:41
So he comes to Memphis, looks up Elvis.
:09:44
Elvis sees him, he says,
"Yeah, you're my brother. I can't believe it!

:09:47
"How you doing? What can I do for you?"
:09:50
And his brother says, "Well, I don't know.
:09:52
"Sure would be nice
to be you for one night."

:09:56
So Elvis had this concert
where his brother sang.

:09:59
They tried to see if they could trick people.
Damn if he didn't sound like his brother!

:10:04
Then Elvis had an idea.
:10:06
"I'm tired of the music scene.
I'll send him out on tour."

:10:09
Big mistake, because it was his brother
who started to go to Vegas...

:10:12
and wear them big collars,
the white jumpsuits, and the capes.

:10:16
Elvis wouldn't do that.
And it was his brother who got really fat.

:10:19
You know, eating those
banana-fried butter sandwiches and all.

:10:23
The Colonel said, "We gotta get rid
of this guy. He can't be Elvis anymore."

:10:27
So they started feeding him pills.
I think they killed him.

:10:32
So what? What are you saying?
What's the punch line?

:10:38
- Y'all are Elvis fans?
- No.

:10:43
You wanna hear something about Elvis?
I'll tell you something about him.

:10:46
- You ever heard of Otis Blackwell?
- No, ma'am.

:10:49
- You ever heard of Junior Parker?
- No, ma'am.

:10:52
Yeah, I didn't think so.
You know, Elvis robbed their music, man.

:10:56
He paid them $10 for their music,
and all these other black musicians, too.
