Spa guy gets a little too big for his britches sometimes. He does do a lot of research but he is always too sure that he's correct & that's just not always the case. Nothing personal against him but he's too confidant that he's right all the time at least in the videos of his that I've seen!! You have great memories of Elvis & so many of them to share so keep on telling us because we want to hear them!! This is my first visit with you all's new channel, didn't know where you all went til your son said it on his video!! Look forward to hearing more about Elvis & your adventures with him!!❤ 👑 🎶⚘

Billy! I'm really proud of you for telling Spa Guy you're the #1!! God love you! I love you and Jo as if you were family which I believe we are. Elvis is my 7th cousin on Gladys's side, so I think that makes us 8th cousins. Cause if I'm related to Gladys I'd have to be related to your daddy. You have know idea how proud I am of it!!

Seriously, I have been following Elvis since the age of 4. That’s exactly 51 years ago. In those 51 years I don’t think a day has passed where I don’t think of Elvis or read about Elvis or play and Elvis movie or Elvis song, My family even suggested for me to get counselling when I was young because all I talk about was Elvis and nothing else mattered especially school grades😫( believe me nothing has changed, luckily my wife and kids understand or I’d be divorced ). I have met many of the guys over the years,BUT !!!!, I must tell you, I hold the ‘Smith’s’ especially tight to my heart. Always considered Billy my Number #1 when it comes to Elvis, I could honestly sit and listen to him and his lovely wife Jo all day and night . We have been blessed that they are able to share their life with Elvis, with us true fans . God Bless💯🙏

[@kristinbrunst1109]

So true!! As long as billy and jo are alive they are number 1! They are the last ones left and they’re videos are something I look forward to all the time. I love listening to them talk and tell stories and share their lives with us. I don’t even watch spaguy.

I don't think he has ever tried to contradict you will any ill will. Memories are perfect...and I don't tune in here wanting to fact check. I love to listen to you recall events in your lives with Elvis - and it doesn't have to be perfect. If he bought you a watch in 1968 and you say 1972 - who cares? I want to hear the way you felt when you relate your stories. I'm not here for an encyclopedic analysis of details. Anyway, all the best wishes and love to you all.

Good post, I agree. Things don't have to be 100% correct. I do think though if you're going to call someone out you should have your ducks in a row and I'm not sure Billy does in this instance.

[@MattHillSongwriter]

Thank you Billy & Jo for sharing your time and memories with us.

[@livewithnick]

I’ve honestly never heard Spa Guy say he was the best or even one of the best Elvis researchers. I highly respect the Smith family and Spa Guy. I’m not sure how there could be such a big disagreement over where a movie was shown. Maybe there’s a lack of communication which is really a shame. The fighting on Facebook is definitely a shame and is divisive amongst everybody that loves Elvis. Again,I love Mr Billy and Mrs Joe. Danielle too! Hopefully this can be resolved asap.

[@MorningMary67]

I enjoy everyone's videos- Ashley Drew, Spa Guy, MMK, Globetrotting With Trey, EFM. I think you all do a great job with what you do. I've been watching all of these from the very beginning. Lately I've got behind on everyone's videos, and I'm out of the loop on what has happened. But, I have to say, I'm shocked. You all seemed to have respect for each other and seemed like such a great group of people. I think I noticed a change when Spa Guy got the Dojo museum. I noticed that Ashley didn't comment (I don't think so) or didn't participate with any of that, and I found that quite odd, since they always seemed supportive of each other. Maybe it had something to do with the bike discovery. Then I noticed that some of you started selling merchandise and some started asking for donations and it seemed to become more commercial in nature, than it was when it began. Maybe there's competition or jealously? Whatever the case, I wish everyone could roll back to the way they were in the beginning. It was a form of entertainment, for an Elvis fan and not what it's become. I wish you all luck with getting your differences worked out. You all have a lot of knowledge and interesting stories about Elvis. Thanks for the work and time you put into your videos! I truly enjoy them!

[@tammybolick8972]

I agree with all of your observations. No matter what we are told somehow this comes down to money in some form. I doubt any of them will tell us. I enjoy every one of the creators mentioned. It absolutely doesn’t have to be a competition. An Elvis fan will watch them all. We never get too much content. The dojo was the center of whatever blew up. I hope they can work it out.

Called me a loser and said “Elvis didn’t do anything unless he was paid.”! Now he’s muted me on his channel, which I never watch anymore. He’s a real jerk. Not Elvis-like at all.

[@FredsGirl]

This has been a long time coming and I’m happy people are starting to see through the Spa Guy. People forget when you are talking about Elvis you’re not just telling Elvis’s story but your own too. Something only you can do. People like Spa Guy forget they are invited guests into the Elvis world. When I think of Elvis historians I think of those that have been writing or researching into Elvis for years not just the last few years. Thankyou for saying your piece, you did the fans a service. Too many people take his word as gospel and hold him up as an expert when in fact he relies on others and their research for his stories. Your videos are fun, informative and without malice that’s what Elvis fans need. Take care of yourselves and know real Elvis fans know who’s right 💖

[@cliffkelley6550]

So what is more reliable? Government documents on Vernon's arrest or hearsay?

[@edwardjohnson9422]

What exactly does that mean, people are starting to see through the Spa Guy? Could you be more specific? What is your beef with him?

[@FredsGirl]

@@edwardjohnson9422 I have seen lots of comments on social media now saying things about the way Spa Guy acts that I have seen for a while. I used to follow and subscribe to his channel. I actually liked his content but I started seeing how he spoke to people and about some subjects and some of it pretty nasty and mean. It turned me off him as a person. I have no beef but I think some people saying Spa Guy is the greatest Elvis Historian is ridiculous. There are people that have dedicated years and years to researching Elvis and putting information out they are the historians. I’m not saying Spa Guy doesn’t put in the time or effort but he still doesn’t know enough of the stories. The people who lived the stories are being treated as if they are just fans and should look to people like Spa Guy for the FACTS. All of us Elvis fans should be showing more respect for ALL the people who lived the stories with Elvis.

No... this is seemingly a lot about money and future revenue from videos it would seem.

Keep on trucking. Billy the kid. I dig yall a lot. Thanks for everything. My mom and aunts seen the king 3 times 2 in Wichita falls and one time in forth worth TX. In the 50s. She's 80 I'm taking her to Graceland this year. Back in the 60s if it was a school night and Elvis came on tv we got to stay up and watch. I bought a plot about 16 years ago but I'm thinking about cremation and have someone throw my ashes over the walls of Graceland. Stay well my friends. TX good night Graceland

Billy & Jo, thank you for all you guys do!! Thank you for telling us the facts and truth and you do it in a very respectful way!!

[@lorisutton5267]

Hi Guys, I love listening to all the Facts when it comes to your life growing up in Graceland. I'm from Greenville Tn and I still have the country accent, and listening to you all takes me back home. I would like to say Thank you for always TCb just as you did growing up in the good old days with Elvis, people who don't know the facts should listen to someone like you and Teresa who were there during all those days. I've been an Elvis fan since I was a little girl 5 yrs old and I'm 61 now, and I just want to hear these true life events you all had with Elvis the man , not just the image or myth, I was lucky enough to see him 3 time's in concert, the first time I was just 11 yrs old in Knoxville TN on April 8 1972 at the stokley athletic center in Knoxville, I wish I could go back to that day and time and live it all over again., That was the best day of my life and I still have my ticket stubs from all concerts and the pictures I bought from the vendors, at the second concert in Atlanta, I was 15 in 75 and I bought a pair of binoculars from a vendor to get a better look, and I sold the same ones back to that guy. I'm sorry for rambling, it's just hard to focus when I think back to those days. I want you to all keep up the great Elvis stories, it's so beautiful to hear from the people who knew him most, and loved him as you do. God bless you all and keep on TCb. 🤺🤺🤺🤺⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡🙏🙏🙏🙏👑👑👑👑

[@MlleMDM]

Did it deserve a video? Maybe a conversation between you and SPA Guy would have been enough because the minds are warming up. I respect you and I respect SPA Guy, you both are wonderful for every Elvis fan. We breathe, relativize and move on… 😊😊😊 ❤

[@absilvey1]

Some wonderful work going on to preserve and re live Elvis history through all of these channels. However, you are all adults and if you have a problem you need to confront and work it out off YT. There is enough Elvis to go round and multiple points of view of Elvis’ life. These problems are only going to divide you cause trouble and keep EPE in control of all Elvis history. I personally love to see and re live the history with trey, spa guy, Ashley drew, and hearing y’all’s first hand counts. There is room for all and you just need to agree to disagree and support each other and work together mostly important work it out privately as it should be handled.

[@brad4110]

Wow both you guys said exactly what should have happened, people taking sides doesn't do elvis memories any good. We all came together for one thing and that's Elvis.

It's like comparing apples and oranges, Billy lived and worked with Elvis for 20 years plus and Spa guy never met Elvis....His research is good but I prefer stories about hanging out with Elvis from the 60s and 70s.

[@katgirlblue]

Thank you for this! Many of us have been talking about exactly this, and are fed up with his arrogance and self-proclaimed "historian" status. Also, if you dare to disagree with something, he blocks you! The title "historian" involves a lot more than just making videos, no matter how entertaining they might be. Definition: "a student or writer of history especially : one who produces a scholarly synthesis." Well, all of us are students of Elvis' life and career, and SG has no right to say he is THE Expert.
