Spa Guy has done a great service for promoting Elvis and its a lot of fun watching him find things. I planned a whole trip to Memphis around his videos, which all proved out to be wonderful. Let him do his thing and you and everyone do their thing.
Just like the audience will listen, take notes, make up their own minds from and discard the rest of what you say of this video, they will do the exact same thing to all of Spa Guy’s videos. Give people some credit. Mr. Guy has the right to warn anyone he wants to and you have the right to defend your beloved hometown. It’s America. Have a great day.
I agree with you that Stallings had no problem with the crime in Memphis when he was selling tickets for his Elvis Week events but most comments were that Memphis was indeed dangerous. Joey Smith is responsible for this mess which started shortly after the Dojo opened. He became manager and fired his brother Danny who took the high road and only said the Dojo was too far from his house and he wouldn't be going there anymore. It made no sense that Billy and Jo left Danny's channel when Danny wasn't in the wrong but maybe Billy and Jo feel they need to protect their bratty, youngest son. People tend to forget how Billy threw Elvis under the bus after he died with the other MM members and that Vernon threw Billy and Jo out of Graceland and wouldn't even let them take the trailer Elvis bought for them or that Priscilla did nothing to help Billy after he got fired from Graceland. Priscilla and Lisa have avoided the Smiths since the 80s but have a warm relationship with Billy's cousin Patsy Presley. I'm not Priscilla's biggest fan but she and Lisa are not unkind people and they have their reasons for staying away from Billy and Jo. It was Jo who went off on Priscilla accusing her of being the one who kept them away from the movie premiere and accusing Priscilla of thinking the Smiths are a bunch of hillbillies which Priscilla has never said. There's a great deal of jealously there and Spa Guy has exposed the dysfunction that was already going on in the Smith family. If he hadn't brought the Smiths into the inner circle of the Dojo and especially Joey, there would be no problems today other than what the Smiths are dealing with in their own family.
Where is the proof of Vernon throwing the Smiths out? Let's talk about Lisa and Priscilla. Have either of them had a long lasting relationship like the Smiths? I'm pretty sure they've been married 60 years. If it wasn't for Priscilla, Lisa would be broke as hell right now. That's the only thing I respect her for. Lisa's been married 4 freaking times so I don't think she is a good judge of character especially marrying MJ after his facial mutilation and we are not going to get into the claims of pedophilia but where there's smoke there's fire.
@@DeeLow120 Revelations of the Memphis Mafia: "After Elvis died, Vernon evicted him and Jo from the trailer that they lived in, and where Elvis visited them when he couldn’t sleep."
@@DeeLow120 of course if this is true the smiths aren't going to say they got kicked out. Who would? You would make up another story to make yourself look good. Billy was a tour guide at graceland when it first opened he didnt stay long there either. He says he couldnt stand being there without elvis but maybe he got fired. Remember billy and jo have said elvis didnt want to marry priscilla so that may be the beef who knows? None of us but them. There are two sides to a story then there is the truth in most cases.
I live within a few miles of Memphis and he isn't lying about the Graceland area. It is very dangerous. I watch Memphis news and its mind boggling at the crime that goes on there. Its one of the most dangerous cities in America! If you go I wish you luck and want to tell you stay in the light and around groups with men in it.
@@elvisfan4ever551 then you should feel blessed. I appreciate Spa Guy's warning and wanting people to do something to make the area safer for everyone. That was the whole point of his video. Also, he has said this many times in his videos over the years, not just after this Elvis week was over.
Yes, Jeff, he actually did ....if you had watched his videos, you would see many warnings. This Dojo was his dream, his idea and his labor. He made a video on the way to Elvis week because he didn't know how safe it would be there. He is hoping people who watch this video will come together, make phone calls, etc to help make this area safer again.
@@deehickman6417 So is it safe to say that Spa Guy will never ever do another video from Memphis since, in his own words, it's "too dangerous and do not come to Memphis"? No more Elvis Birthday, Elvis week, etc.. No Memphis videos anymore? Let's see if he practices what he preaches. Seems to me and it's my opinion that it's simply a ploy to hurt dojo visitation.
The whole airing dirty laundry in public against Elvis' relatives has always bothered me. As a 60+ yr Elvis fan, I don't give 2 cents about what movie theater Elvis went to. It's so trivial and childish to even speak about. Egos need to be left at the door.
I felt like the whole thing was sad in general, because I like Billy & Joe a lot & also like Spa Guy & Tre . It was sad to see their friendships change & turn into something bad
They aired dirty laundry, in public against him first. The man had a right to defend himself. It should make no difference if they are family or not. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. I like people on both sides of the "feud". I dont make my choice about who I believe was wrong, based simply on who they are related to. Nobody should do that. Anyone who does that, should be ashamed of themselves.
@@1980bwc Spa Guy gave overwhelming evidence that the Smiths were wrong. Ginger even wrote in her book that it was the Southbrooke theater and there was no way that the White Haven theater should have showed that movie on the night the Smiths claim they were all there. Fans of the Smiths like to forget how Billy threw Elvis under the bus with the other Memphis Members after Elvis died.
I like the Spa Guy and Trey, their videos are brilliant. I came to Memphis, specifically to Graceland, because of Spa Guy, I also visited Vernon's House, walked to Marlowe's and ate there, all these places being familiar to me BECAUSE of the Spa Guy. I did have the impression Memphis was not a great area when I visited and this surprised me, but we create our communities and there are many many areas in the world that are just as bad and have declined. I'm fascinated by Elvis, his life, his music and I thank the Spa Guy and Trey for all their passion and hard work in keeping his legacy alive. Thank you... Lynn from Worcestershire in England. X
The Spa Guy and Trey made me a bigger fan of Elvis. Historian walks that Elvis took and interviews with people is truly fascinating. Much more interesting than hearsay.
I travelled to Memphis from Scotland in 1995. I was on a flight from Cincinnati to Memphis and sat in first class beside a Memphian businessman. He told me the area around Graceland was not safe even then.
BREAKING: Memphis police are hunting for a gunman who is driving around shooting people, apparently at random and reportedly live-streaming the crimes on Facebook.
Billy isn’t wrong about Memphis. It’s the U.S.’s 2nd most dangerous city. I pulled this information off the internet. Based on this information, the ten most dangerous cities in the United States are: Detroit, MI Memphis, TN Birmingham, AL Baltimore, MD St. Louis, MO Kansas City, MO Cleveland, OH Little Rock, AR Milwaukee, WI Stockton, CA
School teacher/ jogger murdered. Mother & 1 year old abducted from Target at noon time. In the noon day sun. The national news says Memphis is #1 in the nation for violent crime. Spa Guy is not wrong about that.
NEWS FLASH JUDT CAME ACROSS OUR NEWS. THERE IS A SHOOTING SUSPECT RUNNING RAMPANT IN MEMPHIS SHOOTING AT PEOPLE! THE GUY WAS LIVE-STREAMING ON FACEBOOK TOO
BREAKING: Memphis police are hunting for a gunman who is driving around shooting people, apparently at random and reportedly live-streaming the crimes on Facebook.
You do know Memphis is rated the second dangerous city in America, right? Chicago is the number one I mean even Priscilla had the Guesthouse built so that fans would be safe. I saw her say that. Memphis authorities really need to make Memphis safe again.
We have never met Spa Guy But from his Elvis videos, you can see he does his research well and he is very respectful of people.Like Elvis was- Genuine. It was a mistake of his to bring in Joey Smith & his partner. I think his name is Patrick, who unlike Spa Guy, is not an ardent Elvis fan. Elvis will not approve of these bullies taking over someone's idea & hard work. Fans should avoid Dojo Tiger Man Museum, Memphis,if the wrong people take over. It will not honour the spirit of Elvis- as he was a very kind man. And Elvis detest Bullies, like he experienced in his school days. Only being saved by Red West in the hair cut incident. Keep the Faith,Spa Guy & Trey. Love from Asia. Though thousand of miles away, we feel your pain- seeing these Bullies trying to snatch your Dojo Tiger Man Karate Museum away from you. It was disgusting the way they treated you & Trey. Hope your Lawyers sort it out. Thank you Lady Pam, for sharing your frank views.
Unfortunately, SG is learning a difficult lesson right now however, my gut tells me he's a strong dude who'll get past this issue. That dojo won't last long I suspect.
@@zucan100 I agree with you. I looked at the ticket prices for the Elvis Week events and I don't see how that place can keep the lights on and turn a profit for everyone. No one would know the place existed without all the videos that Stallings did. He even did one showing people exactly how to get there. Now they have very limited hours and no real events planned. I know things slow down after Elvis Week but not to a crawl. I think the Tennessee Karate Institute is a far more interesting place. Elvis chose to buy into it and filmed his movie there so there is that option for the fans if they want to see Elvis memories in a karate setting.
Spa guy is not respectful of people whatsoever. What a laugh. He is rude, obnoxious and arrogant. Most likely his nasty, know it all mouth started all this.
Sure it was spa guy's idea but it was Patrick who put up $500,000 not spa guy. Patrick said it would be a great idea to have somewhere to show the ambulance so he put up all the money for the building and furnishings and spa guy did the physical labor. Now spa guy says Patrick wants to hurt the ambulance. That doesn't make sense since the ambulance is the only reason Patrick got involved and put up the money. That's what spa guy and Patrick said a year ago in the first video they made about it. I wouldn't trust spa guy as far as I could throw him. He is manipulative and malicious as well as always having to be right and having the last word. I'm sure this dust up is all his fault!
@@sammyandoliver7522 Best way is for both to sit down without outside interference,to talk it out & find a comprising way, to make partnership work. Elvis would be pleased.
You have not been to Memphis in 4 years so dear, things have changed as far as safety and police.....it has happened all over the country......and many, many people have noted that it is very unsafe now........if the police and DA would do their jobs, it would cut down on the crime...
@@sturmgewehr70 it is very dangerous in that area.its sad that certain people who only make up 12 percent of population can ruin things for the rest of us mostly law abiding americans.
Spa Guy got me hooked on researching Elvis's life. I feel Spa Guy has done a fantastic job and Memphis is dangerous.* Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Spa guy didn't do wrong. Memphis is a dangerous place to go and he warned cause it has gotten even worse. And it's a good thing he lets others know. So they can decide either not to go to be safe or to look for more protection.
How about we all LOVE 💘 one another?? Elvis is The reason we all should stick together...we All have our opinions 😉 why don't we keep them to ourselves bc we All Love ELVIS right? ❤
You’re wrong on all counts. If I was Spa Guy and had invested all my own money in a business, only to be kicked out of a building that he owns and getting no help from authority, i’d be pissed too. I’ve been to Memphis on several occassions and have been very scared. Perhaps, you should stop your “flexing” by judging someone you don’t even know nor any of the circumstances that have gone on with the Dojo as you admitted to. Spa Guy is a REAL MAN who likes things done the right way. I stand by him 100%. He tried very hard to work this out privately but got zero cooperation from the others involved.
@@sandrag.mcalister3308 yeah I'm with you there. I've got a feeling he doesn't actually own the building. I suspect he's 50/50 in the business but not the asset.
Yeah he may have been right about the theater and that's okay but you don't have to disrespect his family you can pick your battles better but the problem is the spa guy likes to voice his opinion real strong and be very disrespectful in the way he does it I was there and witnessed it for myself
This all started because Billy Smith was saying Spa guy was wrong about where the movie happened. So Spa guy was defending his credibility. Why the Smiths want to make up stuff they don't remember? As far as Memphis being safe Spa Guy and Trey were both attacked so its not safe for them. Bottom line if you're not sure about sonething just dont say anything.
Completely entitled to your opinion, even if it is off beat. Spa Guy is not flashing his money. He tried to make the experience better. Sadly he got involved with the wrong folks! Don’t you find it a little interesting that EPE has nothing to do with anyone that worked with EP other than Jerry…. The crime rate in Memphis has steadily became much worse since my trip in 1982 and every trip since. Read the warnings from people who have booked rooms in Whitehaven!!!! It’s been that way for decades! I stay in Mississippi!! And I am always armed when I go to the Graceland area. Many cars are broken in to all over that area daily. It’s not a secret. Go or don’t go! I don’t care! But be alert!!’ Don’t leave anything in ur cars!! And don’t carry a lot of money unless you intend to keep it by force! It’s a sketchy place !! Three guys planned to steal Elvis corpse !!!!! 1977…. Come on……..
I was with you until the last comment lol.... I think that story about people stealing the corpse is BS. I agree it was reported that way but I think there's more to that story.
@@zucan100 I don’t disagree..! I’m 1982, I cruised thru Forrest Hill at midnight as I came in to Memphis. I was stopped by 3 officers and they gave me a real hard time because I had my brights on in the cemetery! They told me the crime rate was off the chart then. I dropped a name of a guy who works there and they let me go immediately. But it was sketchy. The body stealing thing was told in detail by Dick Grob and others. I think maybe it was because they wanted Elvis out of there. And that also encouraged the council to allow Vernon to make Graceland a cemetery. Who knows?
@@jeffmitchell9863 The body stealing story is ridiculous. It took nine guys, struggling under the weight of 900 lb. copper casket plus Elvis' weight to carry it into the mausoleum but three guys could allegedly walk off with it and then arrange a ransom with Vernon. Dick Grob has been proven to be a liar on many of his stories and I believe that Vernon just wanted his son and wife to be buried at Graceland because he was in failing health and the trips to the cemetery were too much for him.
Memphis is VERY dangerous - l work with racehorses for a living - racetrackers are the toughest people in the world - we have to be - I always tell our people when we ship to Hot Springs or New Orleans to fuel up 25 miles before Memphis - Do NOT stop in Memphis - keep moving - This woman is ummm not altogether + I'll be nice
I don't think you are giving Spa Guy enough credit. He does research and can prove everything he does videos on. His information does not go by 2 older people that try to remember and do get things mixed up. And also, he's not the one that started any of this mess. His so called partner locked him out of his own business. One of the smith clan shoved Trey and broke his camera. And the police don't do their job because of Joey being on the force. There were other comments on Facebook that started the mess. It sounds to me from a lot of things I've read elsewhere, Memphis is a dangerous place. Keep in mind, I'm going there in late Sept. And if I get mugged then I'll know. I just say everybody needs to stay out of this whole mess and not really bad mouth anybody. I will not be going to the DoJo because of Patrick and Joey. And I do think a lot of people are very JEALOUS of Spa Guy. I think if anybody doesn't like him or his wealth, then just don't watch. Have a good day and may God Bless all that are involved in this mess. And there's never a winner once feelings are broken.
@@ShirleySchmidt1 yes but in the eyes of the law and the way copyrights work since he never took the photo he doesn’t own the copyrights to it. That goes solely to the one who actually took the photo. Goofy Cup is trying to say he owns the copyright to the photo. He is straight up lying when he says he owns the copyright to it! Then the goofy cup he claims to have is sort of goofy in itself. How can it be proven that Elvis actually drank from that stupid cup. It will never be worth nothing but sentimental valve.
@@coollady2179 Okay I get that. but he may have paid for the picture and have the original photographer's permission to use it, does anyone know if this is the case? The copyright laws differ depending on what year the photo was taken. If the photo was taken 1964 forward, then yes, he would need the original photographer's permission to use it commercially. There is a doctrine called fair use. Fair use allows you to use copyrighted pictures without legal repercussions in certain situations. If you use a copyrighted photograph for educational purposes, personal use, or news reporting, they’re likely to be protected under fair use. But you can’t always depend on fair use. This doctrine is a legal grey area because what constitutes fair use is up to the judge or jury’s discretion and can differ from case to case. Thank you for bringing your insight to my comment, I actually educated myself on the subject, so thank you for that.
Just found your video as it popped up in my suggestions - I agree with you - as far as the movie theater - really what does it matter where it was - Billy Smith may remember it as somewhere else - he has lots of memories stored in his brain thru the years - so some may not be as clear as others - where it was or when it was is not as important as that it was a moment that they shared. Yes getting facts and pictures matched up is fun but to make it such a big deal to have to prove you are right and attack some one else who disagrees is childish - now if the theater was going to put up a major plague up and make it a tourist attraction and sell tickets it might matter but it is just one night in time -- Then getting your feelings hurt in a business disagreement and trying to ruin others business and use fear to scare people from others who do Elvis business and to possibly getting them to pay you more to show them around or attend yours out of fear - there are scriptures about the punishment for those actions - I use to watch and enjoy his videos but once he started showing his true personality against businesses that were only trying to follow the guidelines and laws and also protect their employees, customers and business during early days of covid - then parking in places that he knew better during the candlelight that year and getting an attitude with the guard lady who told him he had to move. Threatening to report her to Graceland - for doing her job --- I have met her during Elvis Week and why should she put her job in jeopardy because a bully found a loop hole and tried to go where he shouldn't. Those things caused me to stop watching him = then I heard and saw part of the other situations and decided I have made the right situation. Brave of you to share your thoughts - if you make it to Elvis Week again - be sure if you can to get the armband for the Entertainment Pavillon or The Tent as we call it all week and it usually gives you all week access to the museum complex too , The Tent has all kinds of people singing Elvis Music all week and lots of the Elvis Family/Fans to enjoy it with
I agree with you 💯%! I love the Smith family! They lived it!! Spa guy and trey want sympathy from people but both of them can be annoying and I agree the dojo matter was very private! We don't care! I stopped watching the spa guy and never watched Trey as I find him annoying!
From Ireland. I went to Memphis solo in 2017, I went everywhere on foot, I stayed in the Sheraton hotel downtown it’s beside the pyramid structure. I walked from the hotel to sun studio and back again, twice. I walked all around downtown Memphis side streets, I had a few guys ask me for money and I gave a couple of dollars. I got a taxi to Graceland and overcharged by the taxi driver. I did not feel unsafe. I walked to the martin Luther king hotel assassination location, also to some backstreet fried chicken place
@Overrated99 America and the world has changed alot since 2017! Glad that you had a good, safe time in Memphis. I would suggest that it's not wise to feed panhandlers money. It only serves to perpetuate the problem. If they are able bodied, there are plenty of honest jobs available, but they had rather look for handouts. 🤪
I was thankful that the danger was forewarned so that as a distant fan , I'm not caught unaware. We have to be vigilant everywhere these days. However, for someone not wanting drama, you seem to be entertaining it with the judgement you have cast upon spaguy. We all need to do better in how we handle situations!
My mind was pretty much made up when I saw a video done by another youtuber. I've listened for years Billy and Trey down talking Graceland and the Presleys etc etc and then low and behold, it shows Trey practically begging Priscilla for attention, thanking her for all that she does for Elvis fans and I thought wow, what a complete turnaround... It's hard to watch a grown man throwing a temper tantrum. Absolutely will not deny that Spa Guy brings to light a lot of things that I find interesting but he is not the know all, be all, end all when it comes to Elvis.
It truly all comes down to follow the money trail, egos got in the way and now Elvis fans hope they can preserve their dignity and Grace for the love of Elvis TCB ⚡️⚡️⚡️
I don't think spa guy comments about not going to Memphis will result in Graceland closing or being boarded up as you mentioned. Regardless if the spa guy sharing what happened was the right thing to do or not, but a person can take so much of harassment and being wronged. The museum is his business and being locked out of your own business and not having access to your belongings which r inside is very upsetting, I'm sure. I guess a person needs to get it out there to show how wrong his partner and others r acting!!
BREAKING: Memphis police are hunting for a gunman who is driving around shooting people, apparently at random and reportedly live-streaming the crimes on Facebook.
I think they should stop with this museum, that is all for earning some money. Fans can go to Graceland, that’s where Elvis lived, and you already have a museum there. I also don’t understand why fans want to see and look inside the ambulance that carried Elvis from his Graceland to the hospital after he died, i find that inappropriate. This was a sad day, and showing the ambulance as a kind of tourists attraction goes to far. I feel sorry for Elvis.
I am a UK Elvis fan ... outwardly looking in, the Smiths have done nothing but scrounge off Elvis since they left High School. Have any of them tried to make a life or career for themselves, away from Elvis's legacy ? As for the safety of Memphis, it had 350+ murders in 2022, in a population of around 670,000 ... London, the UK's most dangerous City saw 109 murders in a City of over 9,000,000 ... so you are around 43 times more likely to be murdered in Memphis than in Britain's " murder capital " ... make up your own mind !
Billy Smith and his wife knows more about Elvis than anybody grew up with him from a from a baby to a grown man he was the last one with him other than Ginger before he passed away Billy Smith deserves a little bit of respect
@Derek Baynes ~ Billy and Jo Smith, aka / @EFM, ELVIS FANS MATTER, deserve a WHOLE HELL of a LOT of RESPECT!!! They know MORE about Elvis than spyguy and ALL of his so-called research EVER WILL!! They’re ALWAYS TCB ⚡️🕺🏽👑.
Just because they are family doesn't give them carblanche to act and say any way they want. If they are wrong, they are wrong. Memory fades. There is a reason epe, lisa and priscilla don't associate with them. I'm guessing their actions and attitudes are it. Yes the smiths lived with elvis and they knew him well, but memories fade, things get added to stories when you can't remember it all. Everyone does that. egos are huge on both sides and egos are the issue on both sides.
Billy Smith is Elvis’s first cousin. He has a agenda to keep Elvis’s legacy the way he wants fans to see it. There’s been many untruths over the years, and now you have Spa Guy who doesn’t care about stories, but cares about facts. If you want a nice story listen to Billy Smith. If you wants facts about how Elvis spent his time, choose Spa Guy, it’s that simple.
I guess the "elephant" in the room is.... why after the many videos over the past few years that Spa Guy has done in the Memphis/ Whitehaven area, plus the recent Elvis week movie night that Spa Guy promoted and encouraged Elvis fans to visit which was also located in the Memphis/ Whitehaven area, plus the various bus tours that the Spa Guy has promoted and encouraged Elvis fans to visit in the Memphis/ Whitehaven area, plus his 50% partnership in the Dojo which is located in the Memphis/ Whitehaven area.... why would he have done all of these things only to then create and post a 17 minute video after Elvis week to "Avoid Whitehaven Memphis / Too Dangerous"? Am not saying that there are parts of Memphis not dangerous, am just saying why would he have done the video after the fact? Also, while it's true Spa Guy is 50% partner in the Dojo, it appears that it was Patrick that purchased the brick and mortar building; I don't believe I have ever seen a video of Spa Guy saying that he "bought" the building with his own money... he says the Dojo was his idea, he organized it, got it set up, etc..etc.. which may be true but I don't believe he ever says he "bought" the building with his own money. So, the opinions and comments that Spa Guy purchased the building may be incorrect. Also, I am not sure why anyone would be able to come to a conclusion from the Spa Guy - Dojo incident video when.... only a portion of the video is shown from the angle of Spa Guy and Trey; remember that it appears others also had their camera phones running and so none of us really knows the whole story or the pieces of the puzzle, especially as the video doesn't show the beginnings of what happened or how it all started. It could be that an entire video showing the total sequence of events was shown to the police when they showed up, and the police concluded that there was no evidence that anyone assaulted anyone; we really just don't know because we don't have all of the facts. Many of us may be convinced that we know what happened based on a partial video and therefore pick a side to support, but in reality we can't know what happened if we weren't there.
I agree with you however I would add the following: 1. Spa Guy did a video with Patrick explaining how SG came across the building, he consulted with the owners, SG had the concept in his mind, it's not Patricks dream.. 2. Patrick is a fan, I've seen him in FB groups, Patrick also attended that Graceland event as a fan so I believe he has an interest in Elvis. 3. Patrick admitted that SG did the work in a video to build the concept of the dojo, Patrick helped SG bring SG's vision to reality in a minor way. 4. SG has all the contacts for the events and even though I can tell he likes things his way, he appears to be a hard worker. Able to take his vision and turn it into something. Who knows the financial minutia of this deal but I'd say that dojo is on life support now. I've no doubt that Patrick & Joey have verbally if not physically assaulted SG & Trey. The problem for SG is possession is 9/10ths and unless his name is on the building, this could turn out to be a protracted, very expensive lesson for him in picking a business partner.
@@zucan100 I watched the videos again that Spa Guy did before the Dojo was opened and Patrick seemed like a clueless doofus who clearly acknowledged that the Dojo was Spa guy's vision and he did the bulk of the work. Joey Smith teamed up with Patrick to get Spa Guy out and there's another guy, "Doctor" Stephen McCarty who's a con man and scam artist and Joey has completely fallen for the guy's con. Stayed tuned on that front.
@@zucan100 Per my comment, I am not disputing that the idea of the Dojo was Spa Guy's, including getting it set up and all of the things that go with it. What I am putting facts to are the comments that Spa Guy also bought / purchased the building. It doesn't appear this is the case -- I believe Patrick purchased 100% of the brick and mortar building. If you watch Spa Guy's comments, he never mentions that he himself bought / purchased the building. Again, just trying to put facts on the table. Also, as I mentioned none of us was there or has seen a full length video and so while Spa Guy's latest video might be convincing and pull at your heart strings, an entire video has not yet been posted, from start to finish. As Spa Guy always says, be about the facts.
@@zucan100 He started posting on Wade Jones' channel when Wade was going off on Spa Guy. Someone said they found the guy on Google and he had an arrest record. McCarty posts that it is him but the charges were dropped. I got in touch with someone that has a stellar reputation in the Elvis community and he met McCarty at the Dojo and said his radar went up right away. Apparently McCarty has no footprints for all of the things he claims he is: author, motivational speaker, life coach and this person ran a background check and McCarty has a list of priors and the charges weren't dropped on the one thing, he actually served time. I asked Joey Smith about McCarty and he said McCarty is a great friend who sort of just showed up in his life. McCarty was on Wade's channel dropping all kinds of tidbits about what was going on at the Dojo and I felt 100% that he's the one working on getting Spa Guy and Trey out of there. If I'm right, Patrick Thompson is in trouble. He supposedly put $500,000 into the Dojo and I've seen no indication that Patrick is a Harvard grad or Mensa is missing his presence at meetings.
I rarely watch Spa Guy anymore, but caught these few with Billy Smith and now the Dojo mess. He is cocky and thinks he is right and the world is wrong. He got mad a couple years ago because his channel wasn't growing as fast as he wanted it too and did a video pretty much yelling at people for not subscribing. Telling them that his channel needed to grow so he can keep making video's. So he wanted lots of subscribers to make money...which is all fine to make money from You Tube, but it was the way he went about it. I've seen him knock people while in his car/or on the street because they dare get in the way while he was filming, maybe he was in their way! I just don't like his character. The other thing, is that he had it out with another Elvis video maker...he doesn't seem to get along with anyone. I think Trey is a nice young man, but he is being drawn into Spa Guy's world and that isn't good. He is going down the wrong path in my opinion and it is just that...my opinion and not everyone will agree. This feud or argument with the Smith's and his Dojo Partner should have never been played out on You Tube or anywhere else. It should have been handle in private, this was handled all wrong. Again, my opinion, but why does Spa Guy air his dirty laundry in public....because he needs everyone's sympathy. Trouble is, like you said, there is two sides to every story and we are getting only one side and we are getting video's that are only half the story. They all need to be adults about this and work things out or else break apart. But I was shocked when Spa Guy said about Memphis/Whitehaven being so dangerous. Well, duh....most people know that...it's a city and I don't know any bigger city that isn't dangerous...even smaller cities are dangerous...cities are dangerous. Thus why as it's been for years, you use common sense when going to these places. I went to Graceland in 2019, stayed at the Hotel Napoleon down town. We were told that it was the safest zip code, but still not to be out at night walking alone and such. During the day, we felt decently safe, walked down to eat, rode the trolley around, etc...Drove to Graceland and took the tour, did the museums and a few gift shops. Memphis has never been safe, Baltimore has never been safe, Harrisburg has never been safe...none are safe, but you don't go to the "bad" areas, especially at night, you keep your car empty of anything that would be temping to break in for. Again, common sense. So that was uncalled for, Spa Guy has been going to Memphis for a long time and yes, he has said before it isn't safe. His vehicle has been broken into and wasn't locked the one time. But that doesn't give him the right to say what all he did this go around. Say Memphis/Whitehaven is a place that you want to be alert as the crime rate is high. Certainly throw some disclaimers out there, but do it better. Do better Spa Guy. Again....all my own opinions and not everyone will agree. I'm fine with that, we all have our opinions.
@@rwood87 I love Graceland but I agree that the ambulance was ghoulish. True fans would not want to see where Elvis' body was placed in that ambulance anymore than they would pay to get into his bathroom where he died. He shared enough with his fans, he should be afforded some dignity in death.
spaguy has said years ago in his videos memphis wasn't safe on several occasions. He is bringing it up again, because the police and the DA in that county and city aren't doing their job protecting people from criminals and executing judges orders as they should. He is telling people just know if you come the police and DA probably aren't going to help you unless you are shot ,because all they care about are federal offenses per the cops statement. Other than that the cop basically said to billy that they don't care and won't do anything to the criminal. Case in point it took the cops an hour and a half to get there when they were assaulted. He just wants people to know the police aren't going to do crap to help you, because the district attorney won't proscecute criminals so what's the point of the cops arresting them. That was his point with the salon owner article. They didn't help her arrest her attacker either. He is saying now that he knows the police and DA are crap your protection is in your own hands at your own risk. Apparently you guys scored low on oral and reading comprehension in school. Non prosecuting disrict attorneys are why crime is running rampant everywhere, and the criminals know they can get away with it which was also his point.
@@dr.lipppr That was the cause of the mayor annexing those counties (Including Graceland) in around 1981 into the City which moved the section 8 people in and crime exploded from then.
I totally agree. Spa Guy says his laptop and Ashley Drew’s purse was stole out of an UNLOCKED vehicle!!! No where on this planet do you leave valuables in an unlocked vehicle and leave it!! I went to Graceland/Memphis and had a wonderful time and never felt afraid, the people of Memphis were soooo kind and accommodating.
I don't watch spa guy. I think the people that were with Elvis, the ones that loved him, have a better perspective. My Mommy and I went to Memphis several years ago and went to Graceland, Sun Records, Beale Street, and supposedly stayed in the worst part of Memphis, according to a friend of mine that is from there. We had no problems at all. Loved every minute
Even though I definitely have my own opinion about Spa Guy and Billy and Jo, I’m keeping that to myself. You’re welcome. However, Memphis is not safe! The area around Graceland is a hot spot for thieves. As soon as you arrive at the airport and people realize where you’re going, they start to tell you stories about what happened to them. There’s stories about purses , phones, shoes, coats, money and even food stolen out of cars. Spa Guy was only telling the truth. He still owned a business there by Graceland when he made those comments. He told the truth, even though it could have affected his business. Elvis fans will not stop going to Graceland. We love Elvis and now that Lisa is gone Graceland is our main way to connect with them. We just need to be aware of the problem so we can take steps to not be a victim.
There is 3 sides to every story,,his side her side and the truth. Yes the area around Graceland is dangerous...he did not say don't go..he said be aware of the crime.
I don't know about the feud, but I like Billy & Jo and MMK much better than Spa Guy. Something about Spa Guy's attitude rubs me the wrong way, and he doesn't tolerate anyone disagreeing with him on anything.
Everybody has two cents to add to this drama! Who are you? Maybe everybody involved isn't doing what they need to do. Stop picking sides because, we still don't know. The videos will come out and will show everything! See what you say than.
@McSquirtle if he cared why not voice his concern prior to his investment not working as well as it should have. Pre Elvis week 2022 should have been the time to have warned people not AFTER you didn’t get what you wanted.
@@elvisfan4ever551 The Spa Guy has warned people in numerous videos over the years. People that watch his videos know this. It has never kept us from visiting, but we are always aware of our surroundings because he is correct.

Billy Smith put out the first video, putting Spa Guy down. So just because he’s family to Elvis, it doesn’t make it right to consistently put Spa Guy down because he doesn’t agree with Billy Smiths memory of events that has happened in the past. Everyone has the right to defend themselves, isn’t this what America is all about! If Spa Guy was to agree with everything that he’s been told, what would be the point of doing videos. He loves to research, and has a loyal following. You sound like a very jealous woman, of Spa Guys success. May I suggest that you don’t complain about someone’s opinions/success $, and video it. It makes you look ignorant.
Lady, you criticize Spa Guy then you are here putting his business out on the street. First off he was not the first one to start the you tube videos about the Issues that were going on, he tried to keep his business off you tube but the Smiths and Patrick put lies out and he finally felt he needed to make a statement. You act like you’re jealous that Spa guy travels to record history…you might want to keep your judgements to yourself….
I saw spa guy video then I saw this one Tbh I'm still going I also think spa guy is just pissed Off As Elvis would say I'm not gonna let some son of b**ch (meaning criminals) Change anything
Spaguy isn't flexing his spending power and money. He is sharing places elvis was with us. if you're jealous of him being able to travel, then there is something wrong with your thought process. He went to Holland to investigate parker and took us along for the ride like a travel show. What's wrong with that? I enjoyed seeing a country i have never been to. I do agree he is not What's the word hospitable maybe in his tone of voice or how he says things sometimes and that rubs people the wrong way, but he doesn't flaunt his money. He is just saying he hasn't taken money from the dojo as payment to make a point. If the other commentors statement is true that billy stopped paypal payments to the dojo bank account, then that is his prerogative to do so seeing as to how it is his business as well and deserves pay back for all the money he has spent in the business as well. just as trey deserves payment for his work. Maybe billy used that paypal money to pay trey for his online and bus tour services like he was suppose to be paid per billys video. Yall ever think of that If that is all true?
Trey Miller seems like a nice young man who did all of the work on the website, FB and everything else and only wanted money after the Dojo started making money. For that he's apparently been called a homosexual which sounds exactly like something Joey Smith and Patrick Thompson would do. I don't love and adore the Smiths the way other fans do. They brag about all the cars and stuff Elvis bought them and Billy said in an interview that after Elvis died he had to get a real job. Alana Nash wrote in her book that Vernon kicked them out and wouldn't even let them take the trailer Elvis bought them. I think Vernon felt Elvis had given them more than they deserved and 45 years later they tell their tired Elvis stories and sell his pictures and their tacky merchandise.
@@debra2700 you are a sad sad individual for vilifying Elvis' family. Get real! I don't think Elvis would care for how people are talking about his family. Kick rocks
@@norway178 Hi Norway! Elvis put a provision in his Will that Vernon could help any family member that needed help. Also, I just read an interesting interview where Billy's Smith's mother Lorraine said that Elvis helped her by making a provision in his Will that took care of her because Travis Smith, Billy's father had died in the 60s. That means Vernon had complete authority to give Billy and Jo anything they wanted and he chose not to do so and when Elvis was alive made the decision to help his Aunt Lorraine but not Billy. Don't you find that interesting?
@@debra2700 Hi Debra, yes, it's interesting. I know he took care of Billy's mother, his aunt, and grandma. They always say Elvis didn't have much money left, perhaps Vernon was worried his granddaughter wouldn't get anything. I saw a comment the other day, and maybe it's not true, that the state stepped in to protect Lisa because she was a minor child. However, maybe that was the case with the colonel still after Elvis money. I'm sure child support came out of that money too, and anyone in charge of someone's estate could get in a lot of trouble if they spent money needed to take care of the child. I think Billy should appreciate Elvis taking care of his mother, Billy and Jo were still young enough to work. Elvis had attorneys at his bank to help Vernon with the estate and look out for Lisa. I doubt Elvis's attorneys would have allowed Vernon to give anything they want to Billy and Jo when the minor daughter is the legal heir of the estate. Vernon could have been charged with Breach of Fiduciary Duty. His responsibility was to take care of Elvis's bills, expenses etc. and Lisa.
@@norway178 You made an excellent point that Elvis died with very little money and Vernon had to have concerns about that. Add to that the fact that Ginger's mother was suing the Estate and was relentless for eight years. She was upset because Elvis had the audacity to drop dead before he could pay for the stuff he promised them. I thought Ginger went along with it because she was young and was afraid to stand up to her mother but almost 40 years later she still defends her mother's actions in her book and her dreadful sister Rosemary Alden Starkey shows up on UA-cam to chew people out if they say anything about it. Elvis was so generous and everyone walked all over him and they all visit his grave as if they didn't help put him there.
I have enjoyed Spa Guys videos , but gave had a couple run ins with him when commenting . Seems he thinks his word is the only word . I pointed out a super 8 film recorded on August 16th 1977 that is very grainy, but if you know what you are looking at according to to word and every book I ever read by those who were actually there that day , the film shows the ambulance with its back door open, a car looks to be a Benz which wad what Dr Nick drove turning into Graceland and driving up the drive at a high rate of speed for that driveway anyways. At the same time you can make out the Gurnee being lifted up into the back of the ambulance just as the car pulls up to the ambulance and the driver of the car gets into the back of the ambulance just as they close the door and drive off. This is exactly how by all accounts what happened , that wad Dr Nick jumping into the ambulance BTW. Spa Guy smdusagreed with me and seemed condescending in his reply how he's done the research, is aware of the video, it proves nothing and basically he knows better than all those who were there . Here I just thought it was cool there's a video corroborating the historical statements of that day and his high mightyness knows better lol . He does very good thorough videos and I credited him with that and he's just like yeah whatever . I hear this about his attitude by others as well.
Me and my brother went there to have a really good time Memphis that is we found out what was going on we had been watching both sides of story since it started my brother went back to the hotel and was really feeling bad about the whole situation between the spa guy and Patrick over the tiger man dojo me and my brother first of all are Christians but my brother had the spa guy on Facebook sent him a letter for him to call he wanted to talk to him about how he was handling this situation in a Christian manner the spa guy sent him a pretty direct comet basically telling him he didn't know what he was talking about or something like that and deleted my brother off of his Facebook page so that he could not no longer put a message on there that's how the spa guy is you're not allowed to question his motives and my brother actually like the spa guy at first more than I did but that's how he treats his friends that want to ask him a question he will delete you
@@elvisfan4ever551 Ditto. I'm sure I will be blocked off his UA-cam channel if he sees all the comments I left. His fans noticed I left a lot of comments so I'm sure I'll be deleted.

And even if Joey Smith is a jerk, that won't stop me from enjoying his parents and brother. The jury is still out on that one.
@@sammyandoliver7522 To be fair, they locked him out of his own mecca 💁♂️ lol... I mean, I get it. I'd be pissed. Really super duper pissed. There's bound to be a few casualties along the way 🤷♂️ I wouldn't take it personally. He's going through some stuff.
Spa guy was very disrespectful to Billie and Jo Just so he thinks he was right Any of us true Elvis fans wanna hear the truth and i think that would b from Billy
And your a clout chaser and Gary Indiana isn't as bad as alot of people make it out to be and I'm sure Gary and Memphis both have crime and problems but I do know Memphis has some shady scared cops I drive truck and delivered about a half mile from Graceland and was robbed in the middle of the day and the law wouldn't even come out to the location. I've also delivered in Gary and had problems but I have also walked the streets of Gary to get out of the truck. You will have problems in any location you go looking for problems or if you know it's a high crime area don't leave your vehicle unlocked or leave valuable items in plain sight simple as that. But yes you are a clout chaser.
Ask yourself one question - do you condone violence, bigotry, and harassment onto people. If you do keep supporting bad eggs. I do not, plain and simple, therefore, I support Spa Guy no matter what he says. Jealousy will not help.
Spa guy has a big ego in my opinion. He likes to down the Smiths calling them rednecks and talking about them living on their son's land in a double wide like that's a bad thing. So what jacuzzi dude, you're not better than anybody. And spa guy is making money off his youtube video. I appreciate this video and your take on it. Spa guy can kick rocks, Trey too. One thing I can't stand is whiny wimpy dudes! All they want to do is turn people away from the Smiths. And all the idiots will fall for it
I appreciate and like the fact that I can hear Billy Smith and share some of his experiences with Elvis. I love that little family. I like spa guys videos but can’t stand his whiny attitude.
SG was a genuine Elvis fan several years ago. I loved his video’s. Nowadays I don't know anymore with him. He changed. He grew annoyed with Elvis creators who had more subscribers than him but put in less effort. SG has become less sincere and too focused on attention and getting a lot of subscribers to his free and pay-channel (read: money?). I unsubscribed his channel some time ago as well as the Smihs family channels… too bad
I think everyone knows why Memphis isn't safe anymore and there's no point in even discussing it because, if you speak of the true fact of why it isn't safe, especially here on WokeTube, you will get blocked, banned, or be accused of being "something"... and btw Spa Guy is 100% factually correct about the movie theater although it seems no matter how much proof he gives some people just want to side the other way only for the reason that a relation says different, but that won't change the "facts" and shouldn't be an excuse for what is proven to be "facts".
@@elvisfan4ever551 You act like this is the first time he has said it and it's not. I saw the videos of when he had things stolen. It happens to a lot of people and hopefully the video he just made will bring awareness to this problem and it can be safer for all the fans.
Link to spaguys video on how the post office wronged him, and I wonder if he's put up a mailbox yet, But I cringe now, whenever I see the Spaguy Bully and SPAGUY DOES NOT REPRESENT ELVIS PRESLEY IN ANY WAY, ua-cam.com/video/ct2dZ_upaLs/v-deo.html
Wait.. wait from what I've read in the comments Ol' Billy boy aka The Spa Guy say's that Billy Smith is not Elvis's cousin and he's going to prove it? Ha ha ha ha 😂😂.... Ol' Billy boy is only going to make a complete a$$ out of himself that's for sure!
I never said anything about believing anyone's comments.. I said " from what I've read in the comments that the Spa Guy say's that Billy Smith is not Elvis's cousin, and that he's going to prove it? Notice the question mark at the end as asking people if that was true? If he was going to do something like that then yes he's going to make an a$$ out of himself!
He's also saying these negative things about Memphis because he did not get his way with the police I was there the police actually made him leave the tiger man dojo and the other people that was having their expedition at the Holiday inn Express don't want him there either because he starts trouble he loves to create a narrative bracelet don't like him the lady up there that does the archives cannot stand him over that bicycle because he tries to take credit for everything that he's the one to come up with everything he's the one that does everything nobody else does nothing but he does everything people don't like that and it's not true Patrick has got a ton of money in the tiger man dojo he is the actual boss he is the actual owner him and spa guy have some sort of relationship but not near the investment that's the truth it's my God does not tell the whole truth
I can tell Spa guy likes to be the lord and savior of things. He also likes to play victim. What made me mad was the way all of a sudden he is telling people not to go to Memphis, too dangerous but it was fine just two weeks previous. Spa guy your very transparent.
@@elvisfan4ever551 Exactly! That's what a few people said, that if he was truly concerned about the fans safety he would have made the video a month ago but didn't so he wouldn't lose any money on tours, movie night or the dojo during Elvis week. Memphis is just conveniently not safe after he got kicked out of the dojo. It really bothers me that he is trying to hurt Graceland. I heard him and Trey got kicked out of Graceland. Don't know if that's true or not but his loyal followers are texting and emailing Graceland about this whole situation. They're also going to all these government agencies and they and spa guy are talking about going to the FBI. Spa guy also said he wants to go to the lgbt community as well as law enforcement about Patrick and Joey supposedly calling him and Trey homosexuals and supposed homophobic slurs. He's out to take away fans from the dojo and too cause trouble. You should get the word out. I still have to finish listening to your video. I'm 3 quarters through. Stopped to read the comments.
@@elvisfan4ever551 You're so right about him liking to play victim. This isn't the first time he's done it. He also always has to be right and have the last word.
Derek, spa guy is saying he's 50% owner. I couldn't understand how a 50% owner could get locked out of his own property and the police or DA not do anything about it. He must be lying or fudging the truth about something. I did hear an old video where spa guy said Patrick put in a lot of money, way more than him. He must have forgotten about that. Hope this bites him in his cocky, arrogant, self righteous and condescending rude ass.
@@sammyandoliver7522 If it's two business owners fighting about the business, the cops might consider it a civil matter that needs to go to court to be settled. No one threw any punches or wanted to press charges so there's nothing the cops could have done. I think Spa Guy was ridiculous to think the cops would be there in ten minutes during Elvis Week when there's tons of tourists in town.
In all honesty Memphis is no worse then other towns with attractions. In fact no worse then most towns USA. I have had my car broken into not just in New Mexico, Arizona, Missouri, Arkansas, California, even in Alaska and Canads and even parked in front of my friends home. There is thief everywhere watching out for tourists or stuff in your car. Just like they watch for the UPS man and Amazon delivery.
BREAKING: Memphis police are hunting for a gunman who is driving around shooting people, apparently at random and reportedly live-streaming the crimes on Facebook.
Well said to be honest it put the fear in me I’ve not got to Graceland yet but one day I will 😊and your right in every thing you said 😊I’d always believe in billy and joe cus they lived it 🥰
You say to keep it off UA-cam yet here you are bringing it back up and criticizing Spa Guy. Sounds like your biggest gripe is that he has a successful business and a good life.
Right - so Elvis, Billy and Jo were so "close" that non-family members stood up for Elvis when he got married and not Billy. Not only was Billy not part of the wedding party, he wasn't invited to the ceremony. In addition, it's dangerous for you to say that White Haven is fine for single people / women to visit. That area is VERY dangerous. Everyone should travel with a traveling partner. Get real, lady.
Are you scratching on the table? That is distracting. Billy is telling the truth about memphis and the police. people need to know memphis is dangerous. People need to decide for themselves whether they want to come. Memphis is getting on par with chicago in terms of murder, drive bys on the highway, and horrible in petty crime. People especially oversees need to know memphis and the graceland area isn't disneyland so they can watch out for themselves if they decide to come. Drive by shootings happen all the time on ep blvd and in the surrounding subdivisions. As people get older, your memory fades and detail gets fuzzy. So if someone is proven wrong, then just say oh i recalled wrong it's been a long time and not get upset. That applies to everyone even billy and jo. Dont be like joey and just make up stuff saying you were somewhere you weren't. I do agree with you that all this mess shouldn't have been put online to taint the elvis experience. Now even for me it has taken some of the excitement away around seeing and doing things i wanted to do which sucks. People getting physical is not the answer and joey just standing by and letting them get assaulted is horrible despite any feelings joey may have. He is a cop and should have stopped it instead of just filming. So all respect lost for him at this point. The fact that his precinct doesn't care about his behavior and derogatory words toward communities makes me wary visiting tupelo area and having interactions with their police. Mind your p's and q's in desoto county Mississippi i suppose.
I lost respect for Patrick and Joey, and Gabby. Wolves in sheeps clothing. Never really trusted Billy Smith, he won't look the camera in the eye, there was a reason why Vernon kicked him and Jo out Graceland. Jo wears the pants in that family.My opinion
I go alone or with other women all the time. Spa guy is just trying to rain on everyone’s parade because no one wants to put up with his arrogant attitude
Spa guy has a great thing going, his videos are interesting but he has to realize what goes on behind the scenes, should stay behind the scenes. I think he should really think about is this about his ego or is it about him caring for the people. I wonder if everything would have went off as he planned it but his car was broken into would he have been so salty against Memphis and the surrounding area? I highly doubt the whole population of Memphis and Whitehaven is not criminals, I think if Elvis was alive he would take im ridge at Spa man’s comment.
I can't believe he went to the Memphis Police Department's Internal Investigation Unit to complain about Billy Smith. That is like a spoiled brat running to another child's mommy to get him in trouble. He thrives off his ability to make mediocre short videos. It is a huge part of his life. They basically said "your an idiot" and he is having a tantrum. So sad and unnecessary. Thanks.
@Kaylee Tyler spa guy only invested $20,000, Patrick invested $500,000. Big difference!!! Spa guy is nothing but a rat and a whiner who always likes to start trouble and than play victim! I feel sorry for anyone who gets involved with him!
I live 60 miles from Memphis, and have to go to the doctor down there. Memphis is a very dangerous place! If you are going down there by yourself, and you have no fear, with all due respect maam, that is foolish! Take it from a local. The next time you plan to go there, dont go alone, and dont go unarmed. Not if your physical safety is a concern. That city is packed full of immoral people, who are killing each other daily in cold blood.
Spa guy is giving the slight of hand it's like hes saying hey don't look over here while something is happening on the other hand it's like a magic trick they want u to watch but we all know it's a magic trick
Well said Pam , you have a very good perspective on this. Amazing isn’t it ? Stay on the subject and do another video . I think your perspective is worth sharing !! Good luck !! Good Job !!
Can someone please tell me why spaw guy would tell Elvis fans why not to go visit grace land ?? 😮 why in the world would anyone tell others not to go visit grace land when besides the White House grace land is the second most visited place in america!! I just can’t believe that he would ask people not to go ! ThAt is not being an Elvis fan what so ever And I thought he was.
Spa Guy has done a great service for promoting Elvis and its a lot of fun watching him find things. I planned a whole trip to Memphis around his videos, which all proved out to be wonderful. Let him do his thing and you and everyone do their thing.
Just like the audience will listen, take notes, make up their own minds from and discard the rest of what you say of this video, they will do the exact same thing to all of Spa Guy’s videos. Give people some credit. Mr. Guy has the right to warn anyone he wants to and you have the right to defend your beloved hometown. It’s America. Have a great day.
Internet and cell phones have made society stupid
Has it ever!!😂
I agree with you that Stallings had no problem with the crime in Memphis when he was selling tickets for his Elvis Week events but most comments were that Memphis was indeed dangerous. Joey Smith is responsible for this mess which started shortly after the Dojo opened. He became manager and fired his brother Danny who took the high road and only said the Dojo was too far from his house and he wouldn't be going there anymore. It made no sense that Billy and Jo left Danny's channel when Danny wasn't in the wrong but maybe Billy and Jo feel they need to protect their bratty, youngest son. People tend to forget how Billy threw Elvis under the bus after he died with the other MM members and that Vernon threw Billy and Jo out of Graceland and wouldn't even let them take the trailer Elvis bought for them or that Priscilla did nothing to help Billy after he got fired from Graceland. Priscilla and Lisa have avoided the Smiths since the 80s but have a warm relationship with Billy's cousin Patsy Presley. I'm not Priscilla's biggest fan but she and Lisa are not unkind people and they have their reasons for staying away from Billy and Jo. It was Jo who went off on Priscilla accusing her of being the one who kept them away from the movie premiere and accusing Priscilla of thinking the Smiths are a bunch of hillbillies which Priscilla has never said. There's a great deal of jealously there and Spa Guy has exposed the dysfunction that was already going on in the Smith family. If he hadn't brought the Smiths into the inner circle of the Dojo and especially Joey, there would be no problems today other than what the Smiths are dealing with in their own family.
Where is the proof of Vernon throwing the Smiths out? Let's talk about Lisa and Priscilla. Have either of them had a long lasting relationship like the Smiths? I'm pretty sure they've been married 60 years. If it wasn't for Priscilla, Lisa would be broke as hell right now. That's the only thing I respect her for. Lisa's been married 4 freaking times so I don't think she is a good judge of character especially marrying MJ after his facial mutilation and we are not going to get into the claims of pedophilia but where there's smoke there's fire.
@@DeeLow120 Revelations of the Memphis Mafia: "After Elvis died, Vernon evicted him and Jo from the trailer that they lived in, and where Elvis visited them when he couldn’t sleep."
@@debra2700 that's not what the Smiths said on a video
@@DeeLow120 of course if this is true the smiths aren't going to say they got kicked out. Who would? You would make up another story to make yourself look good. Billy was a tour guide at graceland when it first opened he didnt stay long there either. He says he couldnt stand being there without elvis but maybe he got fired. Remember billy and jo have said elvis didnt want to marry priscilla so that may be the beef who knows? None of us but them. There are two sides to a story then there is the truth in most cases.

Memphis/ Whitehaven/ entire area is not safe. I absolutely appreciate spa guy said. He probably saved a few lives.
I live within a few miles of Memphis and he isn't lying about the Graceland area. It is very dangerous. I watch Memphis news and its mind boggling at the crime that goes on there. Its one of the most dangerous cities in America! If you go I wish you luck and want to tell you stay in the light and around groups with men in it.
I live very close to Gary Indiana, nothing scares me.
@@elvisfan4ever551 then you should feel blessed. I appreciate Spa Guy's warning and wanting people to do something to make the area safer for everyone. That was the whole point of his video. Also, he has said this many times in his videos over the years, not just after this Elvis week was over.
Dee - was he warning people about Memphis when Thompson opened the Dojo ?
Yes, Jeff, he actually did ....if you had watched his videos, you would see many warnings. This Dojo was his dream, his idea and his labor. He made a video on the way to Elvis week because he didn't know how safe it would be there. He is hoping people who watch this video will come together, make phone calls, etc to help make this area safer again.
@@deehickman6417 So is it safe to say that Spa Guy will never ever do another video from Memphis since, in his own words, it's "too dangerous and do not come to Memphis"? No more Elvis Birthday, Elvis week, etc.. No Memphis videos anymore? Let's see if he practices what he preaches. Seems to me and it's my opinion that it's simply a ploy to hurt dojo visitation.
The whole airing dirty laundry in public against Elvis' relatives has always bothered me. As a 60+ yr Elvis fan, I don't give 2 cents about what movie theater Elvis went to. It's so trivial and childish to even speak about. Egos need to be left at the door.
speak the truth so you can live the truth
..
Yes I must agree with you ! That wAs all so very stupid, especially for them to fight about it !
I felt like the whole thing was sad in general, because I like Billy & Joe a lot & also like Spa Guy & Tre . It was sad to see their friendships change & turn into something bad
They aired dirty laundry, in public against him first. The man had a right to defend himself. It should make no difference if they are family or not. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. I like people on both sides of the "feud". I dont make my choice about who I believe was wrong, based simply on who they are related to. Nobody should do that. Anyone who does that, should be ashamed of themselves.
@@1980bwc Spa Guy gave overwhelming evidence that the Smiths were wrong. Ginger even wrote in her book that it was the Southbrooke theater and there was no way that the White Haven theater should have showed that movie on the night the Smiths claim they were all there. Fans of the Smiths like to forget how Billy threw Elvis under the bus with the other Memphis Members after Elvis died.
I like the Spa Guy and Trey, their videos are brilliant. I came to Memphis, specifically to Graceland, because of Spa Guy, I also visited Vernon's House, walked to Marlowe's and ate there, all these places being familiar to me BECAUSE of the Spa Guy. I did have the impression Memphis was not a great area when I visited and this surprised me, but we create our communities and there are many many areas in the world that are just as bad and have declined. I'm fascinated by Elvis, his life, his music and I thank the Spa Guy and Trey for all their passion and hard work in keeping his legacy alive. Thank you... Lynn from Worcestershire in England. X
The Spa Guy and Trey made me a bigger fan of Elvis. Historian walks that Elvis took and interviews with people is truly fascinating. Much more interesting than hearsay.
I travelled to Memphis from Scotland in 1995. I was on a flight from Cincinnati to Memphis and sat in first class beside a Memphian businessman. He told me the area around Graceland was not safe even then.
I know people who lived there and they say the same.

It is not safe. At this very moment there is a guy on a shooting and murdering spree in Memphis. It is on the news.

Billy isn’t wrong about Memphis. It’s the U.S.’s 2nd most dangerous city. I pulled this information off the internet.
Based on this information, the ten most dangerous cities in the United States are:
Detroit, MI
Memphis, TN
Birmingham, AL
Baltimore, MD
St. Louis, MO
Kansas City, MO
Cleveland, OH
Little Rock, AR
Milwaukee, WI
Stockton, CA
School teacher/ jogger murdered. Mother & 1 year old abducted from Target at noon time. In the noon day sun. The national news says Memphis is #1 in the nation for violent crime. Spa Guy is not wrong about that.
NEWS FLASH JUDT CAME ACROSS OUR NEWS. THERE IS A SHOOTING SUSPECT RUNNING RAMPANT IN MEMPHIS SHOOTING AT PEOPLE! THE GUY WAS LIVE-STREAMING ON FACEBOOK TOO
BREAKING: Memphis police are hunting for a gunman who is driving around shooting people, apparently at random and reportedly live-streaming the crimes on Facebook.
You do know Memphis is rated the second dangerous city in America, right? Chicago is the number one I mean even Priscilla had the Guesthouse built so that fans would be safe. I saw her say that. Memphis authorities really need to make Memphis safe again.
We have never met Spa Guy But from his Elvis videos, you can see he does his research well and he is very respectful of people.Like Elvis was- Genuine.
It was a mistake of his to bring in Joey Smith & his partner. I think his name is Patrick, who unlike Spa Guy, is not an ardent Elvis fan.
Elvis will not approve of these bullies taking over someone's idea & hard work.
Fans should avoid Dojo Tiger Man Museum, Memphis,if the wrong people take over. It will not honour the spirit of Elvis- as he was a very kind man. And Elvis detest Bullies, like he experienced in his school days. Only being saved by Red West in the hair cut incident. Keep the Faith,Spa Guy & Trey. Love from Asia. Though thousand of miles away, we feel your pain- seeing these Bullies trying to snatch your Dojo Tiger Man Karate Museum away from you. It was disgusting the way they treated you & Trey. Hope your Lawyers sort it out. Thank you Lady Pam, for sharing your frank views.
Unfortunately, SG is learning a difficult lesson right now however, my gut tells me he's a strong dude who'll get past this issue. That dojo won't last long I suspect.
@@zucan100 I agree with you. I looked at the ticket prices for the Elvis Week events and I don't see how that place can keep the lights on and turn a profit for everyone. No one would know the place existed without all the videos that Stallings did. He even did one showing people exactly how to get there. Now they have very limited hours and no real events planned. I know things slow down after Elvis Week but not to a crawl. I think the Tennessee Karate Institute is a far more interesting place. Elvis chose to buy into it and filmed his movie there so there is that option for the fans if they want to see Elvis memories in a karate setting.
Spa guy is not respectful of people whatsoever. What a laugh. He is rude, obnoxious and arrogant. Most likely his nasty, know it all mouth started all this.
Sure it was spa guy's idea but it was Patrick who put up $500,000 not spa guy. Patrick said it would be a great idea to have somewhere to show the ambulance so he put up all the money for the building and furnishings and spa guy did the physical labor. Now spa guy says Patrick wants to hurt the ambulance. That doesn't make sense since the ambulance is the only reason Patrick got involved and put up the money. That's what spa guy and Patrick said a year ago in the first video they made about it. I wouldn't trust spa guy as far as I could throw him. He is manipulative and malicious as well as always having to be right and having the last word. I'm sure this dust up is all his fault!
@@sammyandoliver7522 Best way is for both to sit down without outside interference,to talk it out & find a comprising way, to make partnership work. Elvis would be pleased.
You have not been to Memphis in 4 years so dear, things have changed as far as safety and police.....it has happened all over the country......and many, many people have noted that it is very unsafe now........if the police and DA would do their jobs, it would cut down on the crime...
Amen to the above!^
@@sturmgewehr70 it is very dangerous in that area.its sad that certain people who only make up 12 percent of population can ruin things for the rest of us mostly law abiding americans.
Spa Guy got me hooked on researching Elvis's life. I feel Spa Guy has done a fantastic job and Memphis is dangerous.*
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Spa guy didn't do wrong. Memphis is a dangerous place to go and he warned cause it has gotten even worse. And it's a good thing he lets others know. So they can decide either not to go to be safe or to look for more protection.
Spa guy was only defending his content and he has every right to because he puts a lot of effort into Elvis content and facts.
I agree.
How about we all LOVE 💘 one another?? Elvis is The reason we all should stick together...we All have our opinions 😉 why don't we keep them to ourselves bc we All Love ELVIS right? ❤
You’re wrong on all counts. If I was Spa Guy and had invested all my own money in a business, only to be kicked out of a building that he owns and getting no help from authority, i’d be pissed too. I’ve been to Memphis on several occassions and have been very scared. Perhaps, you should stop your “flexing” by judging someone you don’t even know nor any of the circumstances that have gone on with the Dojo as you admitted to. Spa Guy is a REAL MAN who likes things done the right way. I stand by him 100%. He tried very hard to work this out privately but got zero cooperation from the others involved.
If you were so damn scared why did you keep going back?
The issue was not the publics, it was the owner of the dojo and those involved.
I have a simple question: if Spa Guy owns the DOJO, how did he get locked out? Very strange!
@@sandrag.mcalister3308 yeah I'm with you there. I've got a feeling he doesn't actually own the building. I suspect he's 50/50 in the business but not the asset.
@@zucan100 I don't think he does. He only put in 20 grand, Patrick put in 500,000.
Spa Guy is correct about the theater. It has been verified by more than one source.
Yeah he may have been right about the theater and that's okay but you don't have to disrespect his family you can pick your battles better but the problem is the spa guy likes to voice his opinion real strong and be very disrespectful in the way he does it I was there and witnessed it for myself
Spa guy isn’t wrong about everything but he is wrong about trying to drive people away from Graceland based on fear, that’s despicable.
@@elvisfan4ever551 Agree with you and Derek.
@@elvisfan4ever551 I disagree.
People need to be informed to make their own decisions.
@@derekbaynes6545 the smiths have anger issues. Spa guy is correct. And Memphis is becoming a third world city.
This all started because Billy Smith was saying Spa guy was wrong about where the movie happened. So Spa guy was defending his credibility. Why the Smiths want to make up stuff they don't remember? As far as Memphis being safe Spa Guy and Trey were both attacked so its not safe for them. Bottom line if you're not sure about sonething just dont say anything.
Spa Guy gets pretty nasty if you disagree with him. I side with Billy and Jo every time. They were there, they lived Elvis' life with him.
Completely entitled to your opinion, even if it is off beat. Spa Guy is not flashing his money. He tried to make the experience better.
Sadly he got involved with the wrong folks! Don’t you find it a little interesting that EPE has nothing to do with anyone that worked with EP other than Jerry….
The crime rate in Memphis has steadily became much worse since my trip in 1982 and every trip since.
Read the warnings from people who have booked rooms in Whitehaven!!!! It’s been that way for decades!
I stay in Mississippi!! And I am always armed when I go to the Graceland area. Many cars are broken in to all over that area daily. It’s not a secret. Go or don’t go! I don’t care! But be alert!!’ Don’t leave anything in ur cars!!
And don’t carry a lot of money unless you intend to keep it by force!
It’s a sketchy place !!
Three guys planned to steal Elvis corpse !!!!! 1977…. Come on……..
I was with you until the last comment lol.... I think that story about people stealing the corpse is BS. I agree it was reported that way but I think there's more to that story.
@@zucan100 Amen to that.
@@zucan100 They were charged but charges were dropped. They did try to steal the body.
@@zucan100
I don’t disagree..! I’m 1982, I cruised thru Forrest Hill at midnight as I came in to Memphis. I was stopped by 3 officers and they gave me a real hard time because I had my brights on in the cemetery! They told me the crime rate was off the chart then.
I dropped a name of a guy who works there and they let me go immediately.
But it was sketchy.
The body stealing thing was told in detail by Dick Grob and others.
I think maybe it was because they wanted Elvis out of there. And that also encouraged the council to allow Vernon to make Graceland a cemetery. Who knows?
@@jeffmitchell9863 The body stealing story is ridiculous. It took nine guys, struggling under the weight of 900 lb. copper casket plus Elvis' weight to carry it into the mausoleum but three guys could allegedly walk off with it and then arrange a ransom with Vernon. Dick Grob has been proven to be a liar on many of his stories and I believe that Vernon just wanted his son and wife to be buried at Graceland because he was in failing health and the trips to the cemetery were too much for him.
Memphis is VERY dangerous -
l work with racehorses for a living - racetrackers are the toughest people in the world - we have to be - I always tell our people when we ship to Hot Springs or New Orleans to fuel up 25 miles before Memphis - Do NOT stop in Memphis - keep moving - This woman is ummm not altogether + I'll be nice
I don't think you are giving Spa Guy enough credit. He does research and can prove everything he does videos on. His information does not go by 2 older people that try to remember and do get things mixed up. And also, he's not the one that started any of this mess. His so called partner locked him out of his own business. One of the smith clan shoved Trey and broke his camera. And the police don't do their job because of Joey being on the force. There were other comments on Facebook that started the mess. It sounds to me from a lot of things I've read elsewhere, Memphis is a dangerous place. Keep in mind, I'm going there in late Sept. And if I get mugged then I'll know. I just say everybody needs to stay out of this whole mess and not really bad mouth anybody. I will not be going to the DoJo because of Patrick and Joey. And I do think a lot of people are very JEALOUS of Spa Guy. I think if anybody doesn't like him or his wealth, then just don't watch. Have a good day and may God Bless all that are involved in this mess. And there's never a winner once feelings are broken.
And the goofy cup guy claiming he owns a picture that he never took is nuts!
Spa guy backs everything up. Cup guy and the Smiths are some sorry arrogant ass clowns.
If he paid hard earned cash for that picture, then he owns it.
@@ShirleySchmidt1 yes but in the eyes of the law and the way copyrights work since he never took the photo he doesn’t own the copyrights to it. That goes solely to the one who actually took the photo. Goofy Cup is trying to say he owns the copyright to the photo. He is straight up lying when he says he owns the copyright to it! Then the goofy cup he claims to have is sort of goofy in itself. How can it be proven that Elvis actually drank from that stupid cup. It will never be worth nothing but sentimental valve.
@@raybrdjr and if he paid for the copyright????
@@coollady2179 Okay I get that. but he may have paid for the picture and have the original photographer's permission to use it, does anyone know if this is the case? The copyright laws differ depending on what year the photo was taken. If the photo was taken 1964 forward, then yes, he would need the original photographer's permission to use it commercially. There is a doctrine called fair use. Fair use allows you to use copyrighted pictures without legal repercussions in certain situations. If you use a copyrighted photograph for educational purposes, personal use, or news reporting, they’re likely to be protected under fair use. But you can’t always depend on fair use. This doctrine is a legal grey area because what constitutes fair use is up to the judge or jury’s discretion and can differ from case to case. Thank you for bringing your insight to my comment, I actually educated myself on the subject, so thank you for that.
Just found your video as it popped up in my suggestions - I agree with you - as far as the movie theater - really what does it matter where it was - Billy Smith may remember it as somewhere else - he has lots of memories stored in his brain thru the years - so some may not be as clear as others - where it was or when it was is not as important as that it was a moment that they shared. Yes getting facts and pictures matched up is fun but to make it such a big deal to have to prove you are right and attack some one else who disagrees is childish - now if the theater was going to put up a major plague up and make it a tourist attraction and sell tickets it might matter but it is just one night in time -- Then getting your feelings hurt in a business disagreement and trying to ruin others business and use fear to scare people from others who do Elvis business and to possibly getting them to pay you more to show them around or attend yours out of fear - there are scriptures about the punishment for those actions - I use to watch and enjoy his videos but once he started showing his true personality against businesses that were only trying to follow the guidelines and laws and also protect their employees, customers and business during early days of covid - then parking in places that he knew better during the candlelight that year and getting an attitude with the guard lady who told him he had to move. Threatening to report her to Graceland - for doing her job --- I have met her during Elvis Week and why should she put her job in jeopardy because a bully found a loop hole and tried to go where he shouldn't. Those things caused me to stop watching him = then I heard and saw part of the other situations and decided I have made the right situation. Brave of you to share your thoughts - if you make it to Elvis Week again - be sure if you can to get the armband for the Entertainment Pavillon or The Tent as we call it all week and it usually gives you all week access to the museum complex too , The Tent has all kinds of people singing Elvis Music all week and lots of the Elvis Family/Fans to enjoy it with
I agree with you 💯%! I love the Smith family! They lived it!! Spa guy and trey want sympathy from people but both of them can be annoying and I agree the dojo matter was very private! We don't care! I stopped watching the spa guy and never watched Trey as I find him annoying!
From Ireland. I went to Memphis solo in 2017, I went everywhere on foot, I stayed in the Sheraton hotel downtown it’s beside the pyramid structure. I walked from the hotel to sun studio and back again, twice. I walked all around downtown Memphis side streets, I had a few guys ask me for money and I gave a couple of dollars. I got a taxi to Graceland and overcharged by the taxi driver. I did not feel unsafe. I walked to the martin Luther king hotel assassination location, also to some backstreet fried chicken place
@Overrated99 America and the world has changed alot since 2017! Glad that you had a good, safe time in Memphis. I would suggest that it's not wise to feed panhandlers money. It only serves to perpetuate the problem. If they are able bodied, there are plenty of honest jobs available, but they had rather look for handouts. 🤪
Hi I ve had the same expérience. Solo in Memphis, been walking all around, going to Beale etc. I felt safe and met very nice people.
I was thankful that the danger was forewarned so that as a distant fan , I'm not caught unaware. We have to be vigilant everywhere these days. However, for someone not wanting drama, you seem to be entertaining it with the judgement you have cast upon spaguy. We all need to do better in how we handle situations!
Spa guy is an arrogant fool!
My mind was pretty much made up when I saw a video done by another youtuber. I've listened for years Billy and Trey down talking Graceland and the Presleys etc etc and then low and behold, it shows Trey practically begging Priscilla for attention, thanking her for all that she does for Elvis fans and I thought wow, what a complete turnaround... It's hard to watch a grown man throwing a temper tantrum. Absolutely will not deny that Spa Guy brings to light a lot of things that I find interesting but he is not the know all, be all, end all when it comes to Elvis.
It truly all comes down to follow the money trail, egos got in the way and now Elvis fans hope they can preserve their dignity and Grace for the love of Elvis TCB ⚡️⚡️⚡️
I don't think spa guy comments about not going to Memphis will result in Graceland closing or being boarded up as you mentioned. Regardless if the spa guy sharing what happened was the right thing to do or not, but a person can take so much of harassment and being wronged. The museum is his business and being locked out of your own business and not having access to your belongings which r inside is very upsetting, I'm sure. I guess a person needs to get it out there to show how wrong his partner and others r acting!!
Patrick put up $500,000, spa guy put up $20,000. I would say Patrick is the main owner and spa guy started all the trouble like he always does.
BREAKING: Memphis police are hunting for a gunman who is driving around shooting people, apparently at random and reportedly live-streaming the crimes on Facebook.
I just found out The Spy Guy Is The Owner Of A Part Of GRACELAND!! I just found this out
He actually owns all of Graceland and the birthplace.
I think they should stop with this museum, that is all for earning some money.
Fans can go to Graceland, that’s where Elvis lived, and you already have a museum there.
I also don’t understand why fans want to see and look inside the ambulance that carried Elvis from his Graceland to the hospital after he died, i find that inappropriate.
This was a sad day, and showing the ambulance as a kind of tourists attraction goes to far.
I feel sorry for Elvis.
My friend and I went this last Christmas. We just traveled during the day and waited inside for Uber. We had a great time.
I would NOT take Ubers there. ABSOLUTELY NOT.
I agree. The spa dude doesn’t bother saying wht he did to contribute to the whole situation. He just played innocent.
He is just telling the truth about the conditions in Memphis.
I am a UK Elvis fan ... outwardly looking in, the Smiths have done nothing but scrounge off Elvis since they left High School. Have any of them tried to make a life or career for themselves, away from Elvis's legacy ?
As for the safety of Memphis, it had 350+ murders in 2022, in a population of around 670,000 ... London, the UK's most dangerous City saw 109 murders in a City of over 9,000,000 ... so you are around 43 times more likely to be murdered in Memphis than in Britain's " murder capital " ... make up your own mind !
Billy Smith and his wife knows more about Elvis than anybody grew up with him from a from a baby to a grown man he was the last one with him other than Ginger before he passed away Billy Smith deserves a little bit of respect
@Derek Baynes ~ Billy and Jo Smith, aka / @EFM, ELVIS FANS MATTER, deserve a WHOLE HELL of a LOT of RESPECT!!! They know MORE about Elvis than spyguy and ALL of his so-called research EVER WILL!! They’re ALWAYS TCB ⚡️🕺🏽👑.
Just because they are family doesn't give them carblanche to act and say any way they want. If they are wrong, they are wrong. Memory fades. There is a reason epe, lisa and priscilla don't associate with them. I'm guessing their actions and attitudes are it. Yes the smiths lived with elvis and they knew him well, but memories fade, things get added to stories when you can't remember it all. Everyone does that. egos are huge on both sides and egos are the issue on both sides.
Memories fade, why doesn't Billy Smith look at the camera...fishing around for words to say. Stretching the truth.
Billy Smith is Elvis’s first cousin. He has a agenda to keep Elvis’s legacy the way he wants fans to see it. There’s been many untruths over the years, and now you have Spa Guy who doesn’t care about stories, but cares about facts. If you want a nice story listen to Billy Smith. If you wants facts about how Elvis spent his time, choose Spa Guy, it’s that simple.
@@carolynbuckton6004 spa guy has only second hand information. Billy Smith and his wife were there!
I guess the "elephant" in the room is.... why after the many videos over the past few years that Spa Guy has done in the Memphis/ Whitehaven area, plus the recent Elvis week movie night that Spa Guy promoted and encouraged Elvis fans to visit which was also located in the Memphis/ Whitehaven area, plus the various bus tours that the Spa Guy has promoted and encouraged Elvis fans to visit in the Memphis/ Whitehaven area, plus his 50% partnership in the Dojo which is located in the Memphis/ Whitehaven area.... why would he have done all of these things only to then create and post a 17 minute video after Elvis week to "Avoid Whitehaven Memphis / Too Dangerous"? Am not saying that there are parts of Memphis not dangerous, am just saying why would he have done the video after the fact? Also, while it's true Spa Guy is 50% partner in the Dojo, it appears that it was Patrick that purchased the brick and mortar building; I don't believe I have ever seen a video of Spa Guy saying that he "bought" the building with his own money... he says the Dojo was his idea, he organized it, got it set up, etc..etc.. which may be true but I don't believe he ever says he "bought" the building with his own money. So, the opinions and comments that Spa Guy purchased the building may be incorrect. Also, I am not sure why anyone would be able to come to a conclusion from the Spa Guy - Dojo incident video when.... only a portion of the video is shown from the angle of Spa Guy and Trey; remember that it appears others also had their camera phones running and so none of us really knows the whole story or the pieces of the puzzle, especially as the video doesn't show the beginnings of what happened or how it all started. It could be that an entire video showing the total sequence of events was shown to the police when they showed up, and the police concluded that there was no evidence that anyone assaulted anyone; we really just don't know because we don't have all of the facts. Many of us may be convinced that we know what happened based on a partial video and therefore pick a side to support, but in reality we can't know what happened if we weren't there.
I agree with you however I would add the following:
1. Spa Guy did a video with Patrick explaining how SG came across the building, he consulted with the owners, SG had the concept in his mind, it's not Patricks dream..
2. Patrick is a fan, I've seen him in FB groups, Patrick also attended that Graceland event as a fan so I believe he has an interest in Elvis.
3. Patrick admitted that SG did the work in a video to build the concept of the dojo, Patrick helped SG bring SG's vision to reality in a minor way.
4. SG has all the contacts for the events and even though I can tell he likes things his way, he appears to be a hard worker. Able to take his vision and turn it into something.
Who knows the financial minutia of this deal but I'd say that dojo is on life support now. I've no doubt that Patrick & Joey have verbally if not physically assaulted SG & Trey. The problem for SG is possession is 9/10ths and unless his name is on the building, this could turn out to be a protracted, very expensive lesson for him in picking a business partner.
@@zucan100 I watched the videos again that Spa Guy did before the Dojo was opened and Patrick seemed like a clueless doofus who clearly acknowledged that the Dojo was Spa guy's vision and he did the bulk of the work. Joey Smith teamed up with Patrick to get Spa Guy out and there's another guy, "Doctor" Stephen McCarty who's a con man and scam artist and Joey has completely fallen for the guy's con. Stayed tuned on that front.
@@debra2700 interesting, I haven't heard that name mentioned.
@@zucan100 Per my comment, I am not disputing that the idea of the Dojo was Spa Guy's, including getting it set up and all of the things that go with it. What I am putting facts to are the comments that Spa Guy also bought / purchased the building. It doesn't appear this is the case -- I believe Patrick purchased 100% of the brick and mortar building. If you watch Spa Guy's comments, he never mentions that he himself bought / purchased the building. Again, just trying to put facts on the table. Also, as I mentioned none of us was there or has seen a full length video and so while Spa Guy's latest video might be convincing and pull at your heart strings, an entire video has not yet been posted, from start to finish. As Spa Guy always says, be about the facts.
@@zucan100 He started posting on Wade Jones' channel when Wade was going off on Spa Guy. Someone said they found the guy on Google and he had an arrest record. McCarty posts that it is him but the charges were dropped. I got in touch with someone that has a stellar reputation in the Elvis community and he met McCarty at the Dojo and said his radar went up right away. Apparently McCarty has no footprints for all of the things he claims he is: author, motivational speaker, life coach and this person ran a background check and McCarty has a list of priors and the charges weren't dropped on the one thing, he actually served time. I asked Joey Smith about McCarty and he said McCarty is a great friend who sort of just showed up in his life. McCarty was on Wade's channel dropping all kinds of tidbits about what was going on at the Dojo and I felt 100% that he's the one working on getting Spa Guy and Trey out of there. If I'm right, Patrick Thompson is in trouble. He supposedly put $500,000 into the Dojo and I've seen no indication that Patrick is a Harvard grad or Mensa is missing his presence at meetings.
Spa Guy always says Memphis is dangerous. But he spend all his time there 😂.
IT HAS THE SAME CRIME AS SOUTH SIDE CHICAGO. 2ND MOST DANGEROUS CITY IN AMERICA.
He also is a LARGE MAN packing a large P-stol
Those mafia guys sound spoiled ! Money ...girls.....having fun....
Seem mad that it ended! To bad.... 😭😭😭😭
🙏🙏🙏 Graceland stay safe love Billy and jo and spa guy 🙏🙏🙏❤
I rarely watch Spa Guy anymore, but caught these few with Billy Smith and now the Dojo mess. He is cocky and thinks he is right and the world is wrong. He got mad a couple years ago because his channel wasn't growing as fast as he wanted it too and did a video pretty much yelling at people for not subscribing. Telling them that his channel needed to grow so he can keep making video's. So he wanted lots of subscribers to make money...which is all fine to make money from You Tube, but it was the way he went about it. I've seen him knock people while in his car/or on the street because they dare get in the way while he was filming, maybe he was in their way! I just don't like his character. The other thing, is that he had it out with another Elvis video maker...he doesn't seem to get along with anyone. I think Trey is a nice young man, but he is being drawn into Spa Guy's world and that isn't good. He is going down the wrong path in my opinion and it is just that...my opinion and not everyone will agree. This feud or argument with the Smith's and his Dojo Partner should have never been played out on You Tube or anywhere else. It should have been handle in private, this was handled all wrong. Again, my opinion, but why does Spa Guy air his dirty laundry in public....because he needs everyone's sympathy. Trouble is, like you said, there is two sides to every story and we are getting only one side and we are getting video's that are only half the story. They all need to be adults about this and work things out or else break apart. But I was shocked when Spa Guy said about Memphis/Whitehaven being so dangerous. Well, duh....most people know that...it's a city and I don't know any bigger city that isn't dangerous...even smaller cities are dangerous...cities are dangerous. Thus why as it's been for years, you use common sense when going to these places. I went to Graceland in 2019, stayed at the Hotel Napoleon down town. We were told that it was the safest zip code, but still not to be out at night walking alone and such. During the day, we felt decently safe, walked down to eat, rode the trolley around, etc...Drove to Graceland and took the tour, did the museums and a few gift shops. Memphis has never been safe, Baltimore has never been safe, Harrisburg has never been safe...none are safe, but you don't go to the "bad" areas, especially at night, you keep your car empty of anything that would be temping to break in for. Again, common sense. So that was uncalled for, Spa Guy has been going to Memphis for a long time and yes, he has said before it isn't safe. His vehicle has been broken into and wasn't locked the one time. But that doesn't give him the right to say what all he did this go around. Say Memphis/Whitehaven is a place that you want to be alert as the crime rate is high. Certainly throw some disclaimers out there, but do it better. Do better Spa Guy. Again....all my own opinions and not everyone will agree. I'm fine with that, we all have our opinions.
Bravo! So very well said! I completely agree! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Spa guy bought an ambulance in a ghoulish attempt to make $$$$ via tour and museum called it final ride. Them shits wrong
Wow, u probably hate Graceland , Graceland sells tickets to make money?
@@rwood87 I love Graceland but I agree that the ambulance was ghoulish. True fans would not want to see where Elvis' body was placed in that ambulance anymore than they would pay to get into his bathroom where he died. He shared enough with his fans, he should be afforded some dignity in death.
Umm the teacher who got kidnapped. Forced into an SUV. Yes. Memphis is dangerous.
and she was murdered...
Didnt Ginger write in her book that was the movie theater they went too?
spaguy has said years ago in his videos memphis wasn't safe on several occasions. He is bringing it up again, because the police and the DA in that county and city aren't doing their job protecting people from criminals and executing judges orders as they should. He is telling people just know if you come the police and DA probably aren't going to help you unless you are shot ,because all they care about are federal offenses per the cops statement. Other than that the cop basically said to billy that they don't care and won't do anything to the criminal. Case in point it took the cops an hour and a half to get there when they were assaulted. He just wants people to know the police aren't going to do crap to help you, because the district attorney won't proscecute criminals so what's the point of the cops arresting them. That was his point with the salon owner article. They didn't help her arrest her attacker either. He is saying now that he knows the police and DA are crap your protection is in your own hands at your own risk. Apparently you guys scored low on oral and reading comprehension in school. Non prosecuting disrict attorneys are why crime is running rampant everywhere, and the criminals know they can get away with it which was also his point.
Spa Guy is a real curmudgeon. His dog left him. Very vile and hateful person. I do my best to try and ignore his rants.
Spaguy likes to use the name "John burrows" as an alias online. He's obsessed
Billy and Jo Smith were there I believe them over everybody else
I went to Graceland 30 years ago and thought the area was sketchy back then.
Me too 1986 I was shocked.
@@dr.lipppr That was the cause of the mayor annexing those counties (Including Graceland) in around 1981 into the City which moved the section 8 people in and crime exploded from then.
Yep! Drive bys DAILY.
I totally agree. Spa Guy says his laptop and Ashley Drew’s purse was stole out of an UNLOCKED vehicle!!! No where on this planet do you leave valuables in an unlocked vehicle and leave it!! I went to Graceland/Memphis and had a wonderful time and never felt afraid, the people of Memphis were soooo kind and accommodating.
It's the 2nd most dangerous city under Chicago. 650 children under 8yrs old were k-lled in Chicago in 2016 alone.
What is wrong with you lady talking nuts about the spa guy. The Spy guys a good person.
I don't watch spa guy. I think the people that were with Elvis, the ones that loved him, have a better perspective. My Mommy and I went to Memphis several years ago and went to Graceland, Sun Records, Beale Street, and supposedly stayed in the worst part of Memphis, according to a friend of mine that is from there. We had no problems at all. Loved every minute
The world has changed alot in the last several years, including Memphis.
Spa guy was so disrespectful in Elvis’ birth home. He rudely climbed over the roped-off area as if he had the right!! I cannot stand that creep.
If you only knew what his true nature is you would be shocked
It also looked like he snuck upstairs at Vernon's house.
@@KG-oe8oospaturd is a creep
Spa Guy @spaguy #spaguy is a liar, especially about Pastor Bob Joyce...
Yeah too bad he's 30yrs TOO YOUNG, wrong eye color and admits he isn't EP 😂
You do realize that Billy is only two years older than Priscilla? Not trying to argue with you, just found your statement about her age odd
I meant Lisa Marie not Priscilla, sorry
Even though I definitely have my own opinion about Spa Guy and Billy and Jo, I’m keeping that to myself. You’re welcome. However, Memphis is not safe! The area around Graceland is a hot spot for thieves. As soon as you arrive at the airport and people realize where you’re going, they start to tell you stories about what happened to them. There’s stories about purses , phones, shoes, coats, money and even food stolen out of cars. Spa Guy was only telling the truth. He still owned a business there by Graceland when he made those comments. He told the truth, even though it could have affected his business. Elvis fans will not stop going to Graceland. We love Elvis and now that Lisa is gone Graceland is our main way to connect with them. We just need to be aware of the problem so we can take steps to not be a victim.
There is 3 sides to every story,,his side her side and the truth. Yes the area around Graceland is dangerous...he did not say don't go..he said be aware of the crime.
I don’t like your approach at all! You’re wrong about the Spa Guy! He goes places to share the Elvis experience.
I like the Spa guy, never said I didn’t. I appreciate his video, just not that one.
@@elvisfan4ever551 I can't stand him!
I don't know about the feud, but I like Billy & Jo and MMK much better than Spa Guy. Something about Spa Guy's attitude rubs me the wrong way, and he doesn't tolerate anyone disagreeing with him on anything.
U are 100% right. He also doesn't like when Trey talks lol😅
Everybody has two cents to add to this drama! Who are you? Maybe everybody involved isn't doing what they need to do. Stop picking sides because, we still don't know. The videos will come out and will show everything! See what you say than.
You should appreciate the fact that you are warned. Memphis is not safe. It is make sure you don’t go alone. You are incorrect.
@McSquirtle if he cared why not voice his concern prior to his investment not working as well as it should have. Pre Elvis week 2022 should have been the time to have warned people not AFTER you didn’t get what you wanted.
@@elvisfan4ever551 Exactly! 👍 So true!
@@elvisfan4ever551 The Spa Guy has warned people in numerous videos over the years. People that watch his videos know this. It has never kept us from visiting, but we are always aware of our surroundings because he is correct.
@@elvisfan4ever551 spaguy has said years ago in his videos memphis wasn't safe on several occasions. He is bringing it up again, because the police and the DA in that county and city aren't doing their job protecting people from criminals and executing judges orders as they should.

Billy Smith put out the first video, putting Spa Guy down. So just because he’s family to Elvis, it doesn’t make it right to consistently put Spa Guy down because he doesn’t agree with Billy Smiths memory of events that has happened in the past. Everyone has the right to defend themselves, isn’t this what America is all about! If Spa Guy was to agree with everything that he’s been told, what would be the point of doing videos. He loves to research, and has a loyal following. You sound like a very jealous woman, of Spa Guys success. May I suggest that you don’t complain about someone’s opinions/success $, and video it. It makes you look ignorant.
100% agree ... he comes off "better than thou".
holier than thou attitude
Lady, you criticize Spa Guy then you are here putting his business out on the street. First off he was not the first one to start the you tube videos about the Issues that were going on, he tried to keep his business off you tube but the Smiths and Patrick put lies out and he finally felt he needed to make a statement. You act like you’re jealous that Spa guy travels to record history…you might want to keep your judgements to yourself….
Ha Shantay, stop drinking the kool-aid. NO ONE is jealous of spa guy except maybe Trey
You must have bumped your head on concrete, better get that checked out
You will change your tune when he screws you over like he has everyone else he’s been involved with.
Love you Shantay Wood! You are wise.
Pam can express herself and make any judgements she wants. We have free speech in America.
I saw spa guy video then I saw this one
Tbh I'm still going
I also think spa guy is just pissed
Off
As Elvis would say
I'm not gonna let some son of b**ch (meaning criminals)
Change anything
She makes no sense
Hello Thank you for your videos. God Bless Much Love
Spaguy isn't flexing his spending power and money. He is sharing places elvis was with us. if you're jealous of him being able to travel, then there is something wrong with your thought process. He went to Holland to investigate parker and took us along for the ride like a travel show. What's wrong with that? I enjoyed seeing a country i have never been to.
I do agree he is not What's the word hospitable maybe in his tone of voice or how he says things sometimes and that rubs people the wrong way, but he doesn't flaunt his money. He is just saying he hasn't taken money from the dojo as payment to make a point. If the other commentors statement is true that billy stopped paypal payments to the dojo bank account, then that is his prerogative to do so seeing as to how it is his business as well and deserves pay back for all the money he has spent in the business as well. just as trey deserves payment for his work. Maybe billy used that paypal money to pay trey for his online and bus tour services like he was suppose to be paid per billys video. Yall ever think of that If that is all true?
Trey Miller seems like a nice young man who did all of the work on the website, FB and everything else and only wanted money after the Dojo started making money. For that he's apparently been called a homosexual which sounds exactly like something Joey Smith and Patrick Thompson would do. I don't love and adore the Smiths the way other fans do. They brag about all the cars and stuff Elvis bought them and Billy said in an interview that after Elvis died he had to get a real job. Alana Nash wrote in her book that Vernon kicked them out and wouldn't even let them take the trailer Elvis bought them. I think Vernon felt Elvis had given them more than they deserved and 45 years later they tell their tired Elvis stories and sell his pictures and their tacky merchandise.
@@debra2700 you are a sad sad individual for vilifying Elvis' family. Get real! I don't think Elvis would care for how people are talking about his family. Kick rocks
@@norway178 Hi Norway! Elvis put a provision in his Will that Vernon could help any family member that needed help. Also, I just read an interesting interview where Billy's Smith's mother Lorraine said that Elvis helped her by making a provision in his Will that took care of her because Travis Smith, Billy's father had died in the 60s. That means Vernon had complete authority to give Billy and Jo anything they wanted and he chose not to do so and when Elvis was alive made the decision to help his Aunt Lorraine but not Billy. Don't you find that interesting?
@@debra2700 Hi Debra, yes, it's interesting. I know he took care of Billy's mother, his aunt, and grandma. They always say Elvis didn't have much money left, perhaps Vernon was worried his granddaughter wouldn't get anything. I saw a comment the other day, and maybe it's not true, that the state stepped in to protect Lisa because she was a minor child. However, maybe that was the case with the colonel still after Elvis money. I'm sure child support came out of that money too, and anyone in charge of someone's estate could get in a lot of trouble if they spent money needed to take care of the child. I think Billy should appreciate Elvis taking care of his mother, Billy and Jo were still young enough to work. Elvis had attorneys at his bank to help Vernon with the estate and look out for Lisa. I doubt Elvis's attorneys would have allowed Vernon to give anything they want to Billy and Jo when the minor daughter is the legal heir of the estate. Vernon could have been charged with Breach of Fiduciary Duty. His responsibility was to take care of Elvis's bills, expenses etc. and Lisa.
@@norway178 You made an excellent point that Elvis died with very little money and Vernon had to have concerns about that. Add to that the fact that Ginger's mother was suing the Estate and was relentless for eight years. She was upset because Elvis had the audacity to drop dead before he could pay for the stuff he promised them. I thought Ginger went along with it because she was young and was afraid to stand up to her mother but almost 40 years later she still defends her mother's actions in her book and her dreadful sister Rosemary Alden Starkey shows up on UA-cam to chew people out if they say anything about it. Elvis was so generous and everyone walked all over him and they all visit his grave as if they didn't help put him there.
The Dojo is dead - all matters will be settled in court which has already started. If anyone tells you it wasn't about money use your common sense.
I have enjoyed Spa Guys videos , but gave had a couple run ins with him when commenting . Seems he thinks his word is the only word . I pointed out a super 8 film recorded on August 16th 1977 that is very grainy, but if you know what you are looking at according to to word and every book I ever read by those who were actually there that day , the film shows the ambulance with its back door open, a car looks to be a Benz which wad what Dr Nick drove turning into Graceland and driving up the drive at a high rate of speed for that driveway anyways. At the same time you can make out the Gurnee being lifted up into the back of the ambulance just as the car pulls up to the ambulance and the driver of the car gets into the back of the ambulance just as they close the door and drive off. This is exactly how by all accounts what happened , that wad Dr Nick jumping into the ambulance BTW. Spa Guy smdusagreed with me and seemed condescending in his reply how he's done the research, is aware of the video, it proves nothing and basically he knows better than all those who were there . Here I just thought it was cool there's a video corroborating the historical statements of that day and his high mightyness knows better lol . He does very good thorough videos and I credited him with that and he's just like yeah whatever . I hear this about his attitude by others as well.
Me and my brother went there to have a really good time Memphis that is we found out what was going on we had been watching both sides of story since it started my brother went back to the hotel and was really feeling bad about the whole situation between the spa guy and Patrick over the tiger man dojo me and my brother first of all are Christians but my brother had the spa guy on Facebook sent him a letter for him to call he wanted to talk to him about how he was handling this situation in a Christian manner the spa guy sent him a pretty direct comet basically telling him he didn't know what he was talking about or something like that and deleted my brother off of his Facebook page so that he could not no longer put a message on there that's how the spa guy is you're not allowed to question his motives and my brother actually like the spa guy at first more than I did but that's how he treats his friends that want to ask him a question he will delete you
Well said.
Shows Spa guy is more like my way or the highway.
@@elvisfan4ever551 Ditto. I'm sure I will be blocked off his UA-cam channel if he sees all the comments I left. His fans noticed I left a lot of comments so I'm sure I'll be deleted.
@@sammyandoliver7522 I'm pretty sure he's ghosted me because of my commemts but that's what wimps do, they can't face anything certainly not the truth. I'll never subscribe to his channel. And even if Joey Smith is a jerk, that won't stop me from enjoying his parents and brother. The jury is still out on that one.
@@sammyandoliver7522 To be fair, they locked him out of his own mecca 💁♂️ lol... I mean, I get it. I'd be pissed. Really super duper pissed. There's bound to be a few casualties along the way 🤷♂️ I wouldn't take it personally. He's going through some stuff.
Spa guy was very disrespectful to Billie and Jo Just so he thinks he was right Any of us true Elvis fans wanna hear the truth and i think that would b from Billy
And your a clout chaser and Gary Indiana isn't as bad as alot of people make it out to be and I'm sure Gary and Memphis both have crime and problems but I do know Memphis has some shady scared cops I drive truck and delivered about a half mile from Graceland and was robbed in the middle of the day and the law wouldn't even come out to the location. I've also delivered in Gary and had problems but I have also walked the streets of Gary to get out of the truck. You will have problems in any location you go looking for problems or if you know it's a high crime area don't leave your vehicle unlocked or leave valuable items in plain sight simple as that. But yes you are a clout chaser.
Ask yourself one question - do you condone violence, bigotry, and harassment onto people. If you do keep supporting bad eggs. I do not, plain and simple, therefore, I support Spa Guy no matter what he says. Jealousy will not help.
Well said. It is WRONG to gang up & try to snatch a business that a Good & Honest Genuine Elvis Loving Fan, like Spa Guy built.
@@truthseeker474 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What grade did you drop out of school?
Spa guy has a big ego in my opinion. He likes to down the Smiths calling them rednecks and talking about them living on their son's land in a double wide like that's a bad thing. So what jacuzzi dude, you're not better than anybody. And spa guy is making money off his youtube video. I appreciate this video and your take on it. Spa guy can kick rocks, Trey too. One thing I can't stand is whiny wimpy dudes! All they want to do is turn people away from the Smiths. And all the idiots will fall for it
I appreciate and like the fact that I can hear Billy Smith and share some of his experiences with Elvis. I love that little family. I like spa guys videos but can’t stand his whiny attitude.
Ditto! Well said.
lets face it his obsession with another mans life he never knew is a bit weird.
SG was a genuine Elvis fan several years ago. I loved his video’s. Nowadays I don't know anymore with him. He changed. He grew annoyed with Elvis creators who had more subscribers than him but put in less effort. SG has become less sincere and too focused on attention and getting a lot of subscribers to his free and pay-channel (read: money?).
I unsubscribed his channel some time ago as well as the Smihs family channels… too bad
Spa guy flew too close to the sun and burned his wings off.
I unsubscribed from both as well but went to the Smith's channel to post my condolences because of Lisa Marie's passing.
I think everyone knows why Memphis isn't safe anymore and there's no point in even discussing it because, if you speak of the true fact of why it isn't safe, especially here on WokeTube, you will get blocked, banned, or be accused of being "something"... and btw Spa Guy is 100% factually correct about the movie theater although it seems no matter how much proof he gives some people just want to side the other way only for the reason that a relation says different, but that won't change the "facts" and shouldn't be an excuse for what is proven to be "facts".
Spa guy likes put his business on front Street but he don't tell the truth
He don't tell truth??? Are you serious?? Say what ya will but spa guy loves elvis and hell actually research things instead of war stories
@@williebeamen2x if he loved Elvis he wouldn’t say don’t visit Graceland it’s too dangerous when two weeks prior it was just fine.
@@williebeamen2x Spa guy's actions show he doesn't love Elvis at all. It's all about Spa guy with Spa guy.
@@williebeamen2x Elvis wouldn't like Spa Guy especially after disrespecting his family.
@@elvisfan4ever551 You act like this is the first time he has said it and it's not. I saw the videos of when he had things stolen. It happens to a lot of people and hopefully the video he just made will bring awareness to this problem and it can be safer for all the fans.
Who is goofy cup!
elvis is the movie girl happy
I do agree they should of never put it all on u tube
Link to spaguys video on how the post office wronged him, and I wonder if he's put up a mailbox yet,

@Bonita Clark Thanks for sharing this old video! Loved it! I would feel the same way that Spa Guy did!
Possibly prophetic by Billy since the shooting death of four with three injured by a 19 year old crazed kid.
Wait.. wait from what I've read in the comments Ol' Billy boy aka The Spa Guy say's that Billy Smith is not Elvis's cousin and he's going to prove it? Ha ha ha ha 😂😂.... Ol' Billy boy is only going to make a complete a$$ out of himself that's for sure!
He already has made an ass out of himself but his dumb blind minion followers will have to catch up. I can't stand his voice or anything about him
That’s ridiculous. I would never believe what people say in comments. I’ve never heard Spa Guy say that!
What a buffoon you are that you just put on public display..👍😂😂😂
I never said anything about believing anyone's comments.. I said " from what I've read in the comments that the Spa Guy say's that Billy Smith is not Elvis's cousin, and that he's going to prove it? Notice the question mark at the end as asking people if that was true? If he was going to do something like that then yes he's going to make an a$$ out of himself!
@@carolynbuckton6004 I wouldn't put anything past arrogant, obnoxious, always have to be right spa guy.
He's also saying these negative things about Memphis because he did not get his way with the police I was there the police actually made him leave the tiger man dojo and the other people that was having their expedition at the Holiday inn Express don't want him there either because he starts trouble he loves to create a narrative bracelet don't like him the lady up there that does the archives cannot stand him over that bicycle because he tries to take credit for everything that he's the one to come up with everything he's the one that does everything nobody else does nothing but he does everything people don't like that and it's not true Patrick has got a ton of money in the tiger man dojo he is the actual boss he is the actual owner him and spa guy have some sort of relationship but not near the investment that's the truth it's my God does not tell the whole truth
I can tell Spa guy likes to be the lord and savior of things. He also likes to play victim. What made me mad was the way all of a sudden he is telling people not to go to Memphis, too dangerous but it was fine just two weeks previous. Spa guy your very transparent.
@@elvisfan4ever551 Exactly! That's what a few people said, that if he was truly concerned about the fans safety he would have made the video a month ago but didn't so he wouldn't lose any money on tours, movie night or the dojo during Elvis week. Memphis is just conveniently not safe after he got kicked out of the dojo. It really bothers me that he is trying to hurt Graceland. I heard him and Trey got kicked out of Graceland. Don't know if that's true or not but his loyal followers are texting and emailing Graceland about this whole situation. They're also going to all these government agencies and they and spa guy are talking about going to the FBI. Spa guy also said he wants to go to the lgbt community as well as law enforcement about Patrick and Joey supposedly calling him and Trey homosexuals and supposed homophobic slurs. He's out to take away fans from the dojo and too cause trouble. You should get the word out. I still have to finish listening to your video. I'm 3 quarters through. Stopped to read the comments.
@@elvisfan4ever551 You're so right about him liking to play victim. This isn't the first time he's done it. He also always has to be right and have the last word.
Derek, spa guy is saying he's 50% owner. I couldn't understand how a 50% owner could get locked out of his own property and the police or DA not do anything about it. He must be lying or fudging the truth about something. I did hear an old video where spa guy said Patrick put in a lot of money, way more than him. He must have forgotten about that. Hope this bites him in his cocky, arrogant, self righteous and condescending rude ass.
@@sammyandoliver7522 If it's two business owners fighting about the business, the cops might consider it a civil matter that needs to go to court to be settled. No one threw any punches or wanted to press charges so there's nothing the cops could have done. I think Spa Guy was ridiculous to think the cops would be there in ten minutes during Elvis Week when there's tons of tourists in town.
In all honesty Memphis is no worse then other towns with attractions. In fact no worse then most towns USA. I have had my car broken into not just in New Mexico, Arizona, Missouri, Arkansas, California, even in Alaska and Canads and even parked in front of my friends home. There is thief everywhere watching out for tourists or stuff in your car. Just like they watch for the UPS man and Amazon delivery.
BREAKING: Memphis police are hunting for a gunman who is driving around shooting people, apparently at random and reportedly live-streaming the crimes on Facebook.
It's the second most dangerous city IN AMERICA UNDER CHICAGO.
Well said to be honest it put the fear in me I’ve not got to Graceland yet but one day I will 😊and your right in every thing you said 😊I’d always believe in billy and joe cus they lived it 🥰
You say to keep it off UA-cam yet here you are bringing it back up and criticizing Spa Guy. Sounds like your biggest gripe is that he has a successful business and a good life.
Right - so Elvis, Billy and Jo were so "close" that non-family members stood up for Elvis when he got married and not Billy. Not only was Billy not part of the wedding party, he wasn't invited to the ceremony. In addition, it's dangerous for you to say that White Haven is fine for single people / women to visit. That area is VERY dangerous. Everyone should travel with a traveling partner. Get real, lady.
Are you scratching on the table? That is distracting.
Billy is telling the truth about memphis and the police. people need to know memphis is dangerous. People need to decide for themselves whether they want to come. Memphis is getting on par with chicago in terms of murder, drive bys on the highway, and horrible in petty crime. People especially oversees need to know memphis and the graceland area isn't disneyland so they can watch out for themselves if they decide to come. Drive by shootings happen all the time on ep blvd and in the surrounding subdivisions.
As people get older, your memory fades and detail gets fuzzy. So if someone is proven wrong, then just say oh i recalled wrong it's been a long time and not get upset. That applies to everyone even billy and jo. Dont be like joey and just make up stuff saying you were somewhere you weren't.
I do agree with you that all this mess shouldn't have been put online to taint the elvis experience. Now even for me it has taken some of the excitement away around seeing and doing things i wanted to do which sucks.
People getting physical is not the answer and joey just standing by and letting them get assaulted is horrible despite any feelings joey may have. He is a cop and should have stopped it instead of just filming. So all respect lost for him at this point. The fact that his precinct doesn't care about his behavior and derogatory words toward communities makes me wary visiting tupelo area and having interactions with their police. Mind your p's and q's in desoto county Mississippi i suppose.
I lost respect for Patrick and Joey, and Gabby. Wolves in sheeps clothing. Never really trusted Billy Smith, he won't look the camera in the eye, there was a reason why Vernon kicked him and Jo out Graceland. Jo wears the pants in that family.My opinion
Tupelo? That's not in Desoto County, it's in Lee County.
I go alone or with other women all the time. Spa guy is just trying to rain on everyone’s parade because no one wants to put up with his arrogant attitude
Spa guy has a great thing going, his videos are interesting but he has to realize what goes on behind the scenes, should stay behind the scenes. I think he should really think about is this about his ego or is it about him caring for the people. I wonder if everything would have went off as he planned it but his car was broken into would he have been so salty against Memphis and the surrounding area? I highly doubt the whole population of Memphis and Whitehaven is not criminals, I think if Elvis was alive he would take im ridge at Spa man’s comment.
@@elvisfan4ever551 can I use your video in my new UA-cam video ?
Yes I appreciate you asking
Jennifer, You're exactly right!!! 💯 💯💯
I can't believe he went to the Memphis Police Department's Internal Investigation Unit to complain about Billy Smith. That is like a spoiled brat running to another child's mommy to get him in trouble. He thrives off his ability to make mediocre short videos. It is a huge part of his life. They basically said "your an idiot" and he is having a tantrum. So sad and unnecessary. Thanks.
@Kaylee Tyler spa guy only invested $20,000, Patrick invested $500,000. Big difference!!! Spa guy is nothing but a rat and a whiner who always likes to start trouble and than play victim! I feel sorry for anyone who gets involved with him!
I live 60 miles from Memphis, and have to go to the doctor down there. Memphis is a very dangerous place! If you are going down there by yourself, and you have no fear, with all due respect maam, that is foolish! Take it from a local. The next time you plan to go there, dont go alone, and dont go unarmed. Not if your physical safety is a concern. That city is packed full of immoral people, who are killing each other daily in cold blood.
Spa guy is giving the slight of hand it's like hes saying hey don't look over here while something is happening on the other hand it's like a magic trick they want u to watch but we all know it's a magic trick
I with the Smith's all the way!Don't watch spa guy anymore. He makes an issue out of nothing!Too big of an EGO!!
Well said Pam , you have a very good perspective on this. Amazing isn’t it ?
Stay on the subject and do another video . I think your perspective is worth sharing !! Good luck !! Good Job !!
Thank you so much 😊
Jeff, she has an excellent perspective!
I think so too- SammyandOliver - looking forward to her next video . Thx
Ah, you like efm and mmk talk too much without really saying anything. Spa guy has been proven. He also owns and corrects mistakes.
I wanted to know the truth! Willena Marie Hayden married Elvis in 1975 in Texas! She was the 14 year old from Germany..when Elvis was stationed their!
Can someone please tell me why spaw guy would tell Elvis fans why not to go visit grace land ?? 😮 why in the world would anyone tell others not to go visit grace land when besides the White House grace land is the second most visited place in america!! I just can’t believe that he would ask people not to go ! ThAt is not being an Elvis fan what so ever And I thought he was.
