98: Ezra Pound pt 2. - The War Years
ERey returns to Ezra's fashy career as a struggling propagandist for Mussolini's regime in Rome. TENE examines Pound's preferred fascism, the so-called "left wing", his support for the bloodthirsty Republic of Salo, and how Ezra got away with it.

97: Radio Rome - Ezra Pound on the Air (teaser)
trailerETENE peeks in on Ezra Pound's radio propaganda during WWII and marvels at the frothy mix of anti-semitic conspiracies and impenetrable incoherence. Subscribe to patreon.org/tenepod and twitter.com/tenepod.
96: Ezra Pound pt. 1 - Amateur Economist, Professional Antisemite
EThe Empire Never Ended discusses the moment that poet Ezra Pound abandoned the idea of the artist as an aloof, socially disinterested individual, adopts one of an artist (himself) as a 'great man' who solves THE problem of society. Pound's solution? The "social credit" movement of Major Douglas, the "Free Money" ideas Silvio Gesell, and a lot of love for a certain Il Duce.

95: Does the O9A Need a Wellness Check? (teaser)
trailerEThings are not looking bright for the Order of Nine Angles. The Order loses their former 'Outer Representative' to love while Fed snitches and Sith Lords take the reigns. Nikola, the Orthodox Priest / Astral Bone Gnawer gets trolled on a live stream, and some of the most tedious fash fic yet from the mysterious Russian 'Temple of the Black Sun'.

[UNLOCKED] 94: Invasion of Ukraine - Solidarity Against War
ETENE offers their initial thoughts on the invasion of Ukraine, the effects it's had on Russian and Ukrainian fascist groups, a Balkan perspective on hot takes from 'smarties', and some ways to offer solidarity to those trying to keep each other alive.

93: World Church of the Creator - The Passion of Pontifig Bananamus
EBoris completes TENE's soul-crushing look at the so-called "Creativity Movement" and its post-Klassen period of career whiner, Matt Hale. Bad literature, worse RPGs, and deadly violence characterize Hale's World Church of the Creator, which feels less like a church and more like a toilet wine hangover. Subscribe to patreon.org/tenepod and twitter.com/tenepod.
92: Metzger TV Makes Me Want To Gargle Drano
trailerEBoris, Fritz, and Rey watch the long-running public access cable show, Race & Reason, and despair. TENE looks at the show's history and the fellas introduce its infamous host, White Aryan Resistance's Tom Metzger, as well as get into the nitty-gritty of a handful of his strangest interviews with a Fascist Wobbly, a Nazi Trot, and an NAACP Bircher. Subscribe to patreon.org/tenepod and twitter.com/tenepod.
91: No Creativity - Ben Klassen and Nature's Eternal Beaver
ETENE takes a look at Ben Klassen, a boring businessman who became the founder of the Church of the Creator and its poorly-named 'Creativity Movement'. Boris explains the racist core of this parody of a church and pushes through some of the worst writing in the history of The Empire Never Ended.

90: Fash Fic Book Club - A Bob Matthews RPG Adventure (teaser)
trailerEBoris finds some Bob Matthews Fash Fic on the Stormfront message board, which somehow still exists. After realizing it's all written in the second-person, Fritz decides it was meant to be an RPG. Fritz has Rey and Boris guide Bob and his Zombie companion in their holy war against... FEMA, maybe? Stand up like paladins! Subscribe to patreon.org/tenepod and twitter.com/tenepod.
89: The Order pt. 2 - That Boy Ain't Right
EBoris finishes off TENE's study of The Order with Bob Matthews and company and their most infamous crimes. Their moment in the sun was a short one, however, as typical betrayal and incompetence led to Bob's fiery death and spelled the end to the Silent Brotherhood. Subscribe to patreon.org/tenepod and twitter.com/tenepod.
88: Milk and Apple Pie - The Order in Film (teaser)
trailerETENE watches two pretty weird films about or inspired by the Order, Bob Matthews' white nationalist group of the early '80s: Brotherhood of Murder (1998) and Costa-Gavras' lesser-known film, Betrayed (1988). Each film royally fucks up in its own special way, creating some very strange representations of the 'Silent Brotherhood'. Subscribe at patreon.com/tenepod and twitter.com/tenepod!
87: The Order pt. 1 - Damn it, Bobby!
ETENE finally dives headfirst into the Order, the most successful white nationalist terrorist group of the 1980s lionized by neo-Nazis today. Boris looks at founder Robert Matthews' early life and the development of his "Silent Brotherhood", with all the weirdness and stupidity one might expect from people who use the Turner Diaries as a life plan.

86: The F-Files vol. 1 - Kentucky Goblins, Grudge 13, and Christian Identity (teaser)
trailerETENE dusts off the Fash-Files and looks into two mysterious close encounters of the third kind. Fritz offers a fresh look at the famous stories of the Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter of 1955 and the Lovette-Cunningham Incident at White Sands, New Mexico in '56. He examines the social and political environment in which these stories were popularized and argues that understanding Christian Identity suggests hypotheses usually overlooked in most tellings.

85: National Socialist Geographic - How NOT to Cover Neo-Nazis
ETENE watches the "White Supremacy" episode of the NatGeo docu-series, Trafficked, and discovers that it's basically a Neo-Nazi promotional film. When the documentary is not presenting Neo-Nazis in their own idealized self-image, it's promoting private intelligence agencies and hinting at Russian meddling. This is how NOT to cover neo-Nazis.

84: Yockey's Imperium pt. 2 - Fear of a Slavic Planet (teaser)
trailerTENE concludes Francis Parker Yockey's weird life and work with Fritz's final book report on Imperium. Featuring Francis' hot bad takes on American, Russian, and Japanese culture and history, his insane fantasies about America's activity in post-war Germany, and some unsurprisingly wrong predictions about our geopolitical present. Subscribe at patreon.com/tenepod and twitter.com/tenepod
83: Francis Parker Yockey pt. 3 - "You'll Sleep All night, Of Course..."
ETENE finishes the ridiculous life of Francis Parker Yockey with his equally ridiculous demise in San Francisco County Jail. Rey continues his look at Yockey's vast connections in the Nazi network of post-war Europe and America. More interesting, however, is Yockey's developing adoration of Stalin and the Soviet Union, which made him some very strange bedfellows. Subscribe at patreon.com/tenepod and twitter.com/tenepod
82: Yockey's Imperium pt. 1 - A Surprisingly Dumb Book (teaser)
trailerEFritz introduces Francis Parker Yockey's magnum opus, Imperium, to the TENE library, which turns out to be way worse than any of the guys imagined. Get to know Yockey's theory of history and society and stand in awe at his terrible handle on modernism, ancient history, and European culture. Despite being among the most important fascist books of the post-war period, Imperium, as it turns out, is dumb as hell. Subscribe to our Patreon for weekly premium episodes and our Twitter!
81: Francis Parker Yockey pt. 2 - Tears of a Nazi Gigolo
EIn this second installment of Francis Parker Yockey's life and career, Rey narrates Francis' adventures in Europe as well as his powerful connections in the United States. Yockey's quest for recognition in the fascist scene nets him a few unusual roommates as well as a long list of lovers as he bounces from rejection to rejection. Between his pouting and self-pity, Francis somehow manages to make a name for himself with supporters in Canada, Germany, Italy, the UK, the US, and beyond. Even stranger, Rey also describes Yockey's brief legal career as a clemency reviewer for Nazi war criminals in Germany. Subscribe to our Patreon for weekly premium episodes and our Twitter!
80: SATANIST christian priest OWNED by Shaykhs!! (DEBATE)(4k) (teaser)
trailerEBoris, Fritz, and Rey get word of a bizarre series of podcasts featuring a debate between Balkan Muslims and TENE's favorite Montenegrin Orthodox Priest, Nikola Poleksić. Nikola's interlopers seem unaware that Nikola is also an External Adept of the O9A 'nexion' the Astral Bone Gnawer's Lodge, with predictably absurd results.

79: A Very TENE New Year - To Victory, and also a Sandwich (teaser)
trailerEThe TENE fellas get good and smashed at the Death Valley compound to celebrate the new year, and basically, this is what happened. That's probably about as good a description as can be made about this one... Also, some clips from David Myatt and Richard Butler's lost podcast, The Dick and Davie Jape Town, and a sneak peek of the next arc of episodes.

78: Francis Parker Yockey pt. 1 - American 'Conservative Revolutionary'
EIn episode 78, TENE goes through the early days of Francis Parker Yockey, an unusual American fascist. In the late 1930s, Yockey was a young (and very pretentious) intellectual deeply involved in the Fascist movement in the US and connected to every significant group of the time: German-American Bund, Silver Shirts, Father Coughlin's NUSJ, America First Committee, etc. What made him different from his peers in the US was that he was at the time already influenced by more obscure fascist writers of the so-called Conservative Revolutionary milieu in Germany like Oswald Spengler, Karl Haushofer, and Carl Schmitt. It seems that Yockey had deeper connections to the Third Reich as well that involved Nazi Intelligence and the secret Operation Pastorious. Yockey inexplicably went missing for a while during the war, but even more interesting was his post-war career gig in Nuremberg, Germany.

77: Resistance Records is Futile (teaser)
trailerEThe Empire Never Ended takes an awful detour through the history and catalog of Resistance Records, North America's version of Rock Against Communism that made most of National Alliance's income. The guys talk RaHoWa, Bound For Glory, New Minority, and other progressively worse bands. Also, a bunch of awful clips and Fritz attempts to write a Resistance Records song and somehow overshoots...

[UNLOCKED] 44: Marko and What's-her-name - Partisans and Chetniks in Hollywood Films
EUnlocked! Movie night at the TENE compound! In this spiritual sequel to their episode on Yugoslav partisan films, the Empire Never Ended visits Hollywood depictions of Yugoslavia in World War II. The crew watches wartime propaganda flick Chetniks! The Fighting Guerillas (1943), genre-setting Corman B-film The Secret Invasion (1963), boomer dad favorite Force 10 from Navarone (1978), and made for TV movie Dirty Dozen: Fatal Mission (1988). They discuss the extreme swings in Hollywood's attitude toward Chetniks over time, the development of the Dirty Dozen model now followed by The Suicide Squad, Hollywood's shaky handle on history, the trope of the stoic Partizan woman, and the multiple interpretations these films offer their audience. Also: Obama's big day and Krist Novoselic for some reason...

76: Cosmotheism and "The Urge" (teaser)
trailerEIn another theological episode, Fritz gives his first and last Cosmotheistic sermon, explaining the surprisingly vacant texts of William Luther Pierce's half-assed 'religion' for his National Alliance. TENE's exhaustive concordance on the three original holy texts of Cosmotheism, The Path, On Living Things, and On Society as well as Pierce's most important recorded sermon, Cosmotheism: The Wave of the Future leaves the crew unsatisfied. Apparently, it's a huge waste of time and makes very little sense. Also, the post-Pierce 'Awakened Ones' carrying the torch, and an unexpected visit to Israel where TENE learns the unlikely origins of Cosmotheism!

75: The Rise and Fall of National Alliance
EThe Empire Never Ended concludes their biographical study of William Luther Pierce and goes deep into the multi-decade development and collapse of his National Alliance. Fritz talks about the impact of the Turner Diaries, introduces Pierce's pet religion "Cosmotheism", and gives some idea of the National Alliance's international reach. The guys also discuss Resistance Records, the absurd Vanguard News Network, and get some background information on the Order and the Oklahoma City bombing.

74: Fash Fic Book Club - The Turner Diaries (teaser)
trailerEIn the second meeting of TENE's Fash Fic Book Club, Fritz reads William Luther Pierce, III's infamous book, the Turner Diaries. The story, which originally began to appear as installments in National Alliance's nazi rag, Attack! in 1975, is framed as a serious of unbelievably dry diary entires by "known racist" named Earl Turner, as he battles The System in the early 90s. It's a shitty bad book, but that's the job... Fritz takes Boris and Rey down a bloody and nonsensical path through The Organization's early days as a scrappy guerilla band of nazis to eventually nuking the planet many, many times with an attack on an FBI building that inspired the Oklahoma City Bombing, an assault on California, and the incel revenge fantasy called "the Day of the Rope" along the way.

73: Early Years of William Pierce - From a Nazi, to...also a Nazi
ETENE finally meets William Luther Pierce, III, founder of the National Alliance (NA), author of the Turner Diaries, and basically Neo-Nazi Dr. Evil. Fritz narrates Bill's life from his childhood as a little white supremacist, through his illustrious physics career, to his somewhat less-impressive beginnings as one of America's worst Nazis. The boys hear how Pierce climbed the ladder from the ANP/NSWPP shit show to head his own college-based fascist group, the National Youth Alliance started by Willis Carto which would eventually grow into the NA. Also, when Rockwell's train nearly came in, a brutal egg-ssassination, and plenty of stink bombs.

72: New Order - Find Your Inner Fuhrer (teaser)
trailerERey concludes his tour of duty with the American Nazi Party by telling the story of its final Fuhrer, Matthias Koehl, and his take on Esoteric Hitlerism in New Order. The crew briefly examines the life and thought of Koehl's greatest influences, Savitri Devi, who said that Hitler was an avatar of Vishnu, and Miguel Serrano, who mixed and matched esoteric 'traditions' until landing on a Hitler-Jesus named "Manu". Rey walks Fritz and Boris through Matt Koehl's rise to ANP glory from James Madole's National Renaissance Party in New York to the States Rights Party in the South until he finally becomes George Lincoln Rockwell's successor (and Brutus to his Caesar) when Koehl takes the American Nazis in a bizarre spiritual direction.

71: American Nazi Party pt. 2 - Rockwell's European Vacation
ERey wraps up the darkly funny life of George Lincoln Rockwell and examines his lasting influence on neo-Naziism in the U.S. and abroad. The boys learn about Rockwell's surprisingly international World Union of National Socialists (WUNS) and the political intrigue they wrought on themselves, the controversy surrounding the creation of the well-known slogan, "White Power", and the American Nazi Party's relationship to Christian Identity. Finally, Rey looks at the various explanations for Rockwell's violent death at the hand of a Stormtrooper and the possible Machiavellian machinations of William Luther Pierce and Matt Koehl. Also, French Nazi nobility and that Canadian Hitler look!

70: ANP Shit Show (teaser)
trailerERey gets Boris and Fritz to watch four... documentaries?... about the American Nazi Party approved by none other than the National Socialist Order, three of which are directed and narrated by somehow-still-living joke, James Mason. Jimbo's fawning take on George Lincoln Rockwell's disastrous gubernatorial campaign and his unintentionally hilarious supercut of "lost footage" are bad enough, yet pale next to his epic film-length slide show of Rockwell's life and career. Alongside this powerful collective opus of editorial prowess is a professionally made propaganda piece that feels like some Neo-Nazi version of The Office. Also, Rey introduces Rick Cooper to our collection of Nazi weirdos along with his very special tastes.

69: American Nazi Party pt. 1 - George Lincoln Rockwell
ERey finally introduces the infamous and pathetic George Lincoln Rockwell and his American Nazi Party to the TENE pod roster of tragicomic fascist freaks. Son of a sociopathic Vaudevillian and clearly nostalgic for some 1930s-style LARPing, "Commander" Rockwell founds one of the most important and comically underappreciated neo-Nazi groups of the '60s that gave us such figures at Matt Koehl, Daniel Burros, and William Luther Pierce.

[UNLOCKED] 50: British Israelism - a strange way to say 'American Fascism'
E[UNLOCKED - Part one of the British Israelism / Christian Identity (ep 55) / Aryan Nations (ep 57) trilogy] Despite what its name might suggest, Rey introduces the British Israelite movement to TENE's arc on Americanist fascism and adds a whole new roster of fashy freaks to their collection. 'British Israelism' is the claim that the British - and eventually Europeans and 'Whites' - are the truest and noblest tribe of Israel. And where does that leave the Jews? Well, that depends on who you ask, but it ain't great. Meet Richard Brothers, a founding ideologue of the movement whose teachings on the lost tribes of Israel will lead to Edward Hine's British-only approach which mysteriously floundered in America. Check-in on Pastor Wild British Identity's American son and 'Professor' Charles Totten as they kick off the US interpretation of the movement which is, of course, really really racist. Rey inducts pastor, KKK member, and First Lady of the Invisible Empire Reuben Sawyer to TENE's card deck which wouldn't be complete without Henry Ford's bff and guy who reads the bible "racially", degenerate drunk Bill Cameron. Also in this episode, founder of Pentecostalism Charles Parham, Pyramidism and its very special inch, and an unexpected link in this arc to the Tempel ov Blood. Phew!

67: The Culling of David Myatt pt. 1 (teaser)
trailerEAfter failing to accept TENE's challenge to a rap battle, Fritz decides to be neighborly and meet David Myatt, founder of the Order of Nine Angles, on his own turf: faux-academic nonsense otherwise known as the 'Hebdomian Way'. Myatt is claiming that this 'philosophy' has replaced the O9A and represents a departure from his "extremist past"... Fritz disagrees. In fact, his Hebdomian Way is merely a rebranding of his old Nazi Satanist turd collection and Fritz explains how even by Myatt's own criteria, it can in no way be called a "philosophy". Enraged by this beat down, the numinous one himself appears at TENE's Death Valley compound with a surprise.

66: The Day the Klan Came to Town - Interview with Bill Campbell
ETENE interviews Bill Campbell, author of The Day the Klan Came to Town, a graphic novel fictionalizing an actual historical battle that took place between the Ku Klux Klan and a multi-ethnic neighborhood of Carnegie, Pennsylvania in 1923 through the eyes of an Italian immigrant mine worker. Bill discusses the creation of his characters, the historicity of the battle, and the research that went into bringing numerous cultures to life. They discuss the anti-Black racism at the heart of "Americanism", a little-known 19th-century conflict in Chicago, and critically address the idea of America as a 'nation of immigrants. Also: polka.

trailerEFritz tells the tragicomic tale of Daniel Burros, the Jewish neo-nazi who was the inspiration for the 2001 film, The Believer. Dan's story is a bizarre cross-section of neo-nazi life in the first half of the 1960s. Follow Dan's stranger-than-fiction path from ludicrous street demos with the American Nazi Party, to armed plots with the National Renaissance Party, on to his final gig as Grand Dragon of the New York KKK.

64: John Birch Society pt. 2 - Wait, It Gets Worse!
EBoris finishes his two-part study of the John Birch Society. He looks at their organizational structures, "reading rooms", and media game as well as their ludicrous ideology. Reaching 100,000 members in the mid-'60s, the JBS survives well into the common day despite the disappearance of the Soviet Union. Boris also brings Revilo P. Oliver back into the mix, as well as the JBS' current cast of characters and their terrible but predictable take on the Chilean uprising of 2019. Also, General Walker: Texas Fascist, Vietnam and Korean war conspiracy theories, Lee Harvey Oswald, and the Wallace campaign.

62: John Birch Society pt. 1 - Everyone is a Communist
ETake a walk down Repressed Memory Lane with Boris as he introduces Americanism's own sugar daddy, Robert Welch, founder of the John Birch Society which brought us classic hits like the "War on Christmas", "America is a Republic, not a Democracy", "The Hawaiian Comintern", and of course, "Everyone is a Communist". What happens when a bunch of rich paranoid racists, Fred Koch included, get together at a conference? The most successful Americanist organization in its fashy little history. Also, the return of Revilo "Palindrome" Oliver and the original 'school choice' argument (spoiler: it's pretty racist)! This is part one of a two-part tale.

61: We've Got Mail - It's fucking David Myatt (teaser)
trailerEGame night at The Empire Never Ended! Founder of the Order of Nine Angles, David Myatt, takes on the TENE team in their own Twitter DMs with absurd results. Boris, Fritz, and Rey deconstruct the flurry of nonsense that Myatt's communiques have become since the revelation that the Tempel ov Blood was subsidized by the FBI. They also check in with Chloe Ortega, the straight talking lunatic of the White Star Acception O9A nexion and her own vindicating revelations about Myatt and the "Old Guard". Finally, the crew takes on Myatt's ridiculous claim that the O9A is merely a "philosophy". TENE brings in popular sportscasters Buck Schlockminster and Cal Bustengrin for the pre and post-game commentary with the help of Yinzer sports analyst Bob Redikowski. Enjoy the game!

[UNLOCKED] 56: "Charlie Makes a Nazi Swing Band"
ETENE finds yet another thing Nazis are terrible at, parody swing music. 'Enjoy' the musical stylings of Goebbels-approved Charlie and his Orchestra, a wartime Nazi propaganda effort to trade the so-called 'degenerate' hits of Jewish and Black jazz artists with cringe-inducing parody versions towing the party line.

60: Americanism - God's People, Racial Democracy, and Warlord Capitalism (teaser)

59: Minutemen - An American Stay-Behind Unit (and Pedos)
ERey goes all 'Oliver Stone' on the TENE crew with the Minutemen, America's own little 'Stay-Behind Unit' of feds and fash. Beginning in 1960, millionaire Robert DePugh - fashy loner pedo - founds the loose conglomeration of anti-communist militias called "The Minutemen", beholden only to an imaginary inner council. With an absurd level of state-sponsored impunity, DePugh commits crime after insane crime only for the authorities to look the other way time and again. Included in his inner circle are Robert N. Taylor, Odinist right-wing "libertarian" thought-leader and god-awful folk singer, as well as three stars of the 1991 film, JFK: Clay Shaw, the shifty New Orleans businessman, David Ferrie, lunatic pilot and alleged associate of Lee Harvey Oswald, and Guy Bannister, FBI employee and Minutemen coordinator. At what point does your fascist militia cease to be 'infiltrated' and simply becomes a para-state entity? Find out in this episode!

58: Fritz's Nightmare - Nazi-Made Video Games (teaser)
trailerEGame night at the Empire Never Ended! Boris, Fritz, and Rey are joined by some friends as they dive deep into the bewildering mess that is Nazi-made video games. In this experimental episode, Fritz hobbles through the barely-playable Zog's Nightmare 2 made by Aryan Nations-based company Resistance Records for the National Socialist Movement in 2007. He caps this off with a short tour of its fan-made sequel made for Combat 18. Fritz introduces other horrible games from the company and shows off his questionable collection of KKK versions of Mario Bros 1 and 2 and a pitiful Nazi re-texture of Wolfenstein 3D and. Also, a William Luther Pierce-inspired game throws Fritz's computer into chaos.

57: Psycho Dick and the Aryan Nations
ETENE goes on a field trip to Idaho where they visit the Church of Christ Christian and their militant political wing, the Aryan Nations lead by Richard Girnt Butler, a man who slurs his slurs. Carrying the Christian Identity tradition from the 1970s to the 2000s, Butler created an armed compound in Hayden Lake, Idaho where he developed a complex heraldry and continued the racist theology of his dumb religion. Connected to terrorist groups like the Order and establishing the Aryan World Congress, Butler became a key man in the American White nationalist scene and beyond.

56: "Charlie Makes a Nazi Swing Band" (teaser)
trailerETENE finds yet another thing Nazis are terrible at, parody swing music. 'Enjoy' the musical stylings of Goebbels-approved Charlie and his Orchestra, a wartime Nazi propaganda effort to trade the so-called 'degenerate' hits of Jewish and Black jazz artists with cringe-inducing parody versions towing the party line. With deepest apologies to the Andrews Sisters, TENE presents Nazi swing!

55: Swift & Gale - Christian Identity Rangers
EEver wish the Bible had more space aliens and insane racism in it? Well, Fritz has the religion for you! TENE takes Christian Identity head-on from their split with the British Israelite movement through super racist ancient aliens to some of the earliest participants in the American militia movement. Christian Identity fuses apocalyptic militarism with the belief that Jewish people are literal genetic descendants of Satan. Swift and Gale were key figures in Southern California's bustling white supremacist scene from the end of World War II and, as you might expect, total freaks. Also, Fritz throws in some whacky racist theology for good measure!

52: America First, Inc. - Capital Loves a Nazi (teaser)
trailerETying off the gushing wound that is interwar American fascism, Fritz invites Boris and Rey down the twisted path of America First. TENE examines two early organized incarnations of this sentiment and gives a broad view of Americanist incubator that twice encouraged Nazis, capitalists, and politicians to join together under a common banner of isolationism, free markets, and anti-Semitism. Fritz explains the career of a bony racist geezer named James True, the "First Firster" whose America First, Inc. mixed anti-labor propaganda with openly Nazi sentiments as he sold custom-made truncheons for the coming pogrom. The main feature, the America First Committee, picks up the torch and turns America First into an 800k-strong movement of capitalists, cultural elites, Nazis, and general isolationists with American hero Charles Lindberg as their face. TENE takes a look at the bumbling FBI and the efforts of British Intelligence to keep American fascism at bay despite J. Edgar Hoover's best efforts. Also featuring: George Deatherage, military contract engineer and the ultimate KKK LARPer, George Sylvester Viereck and his scheme to turn the US Congressional Record into a Nazi printing press, and why Hermann Göring smelled like lion piss!
