Greg, what do you know about, um... Nero and Sporus?
Nero and...
Sporus.
Spor--
Greg, yeah. Sporus was a young slave boy. He was Nero's favorite. And, uh... you know what Nero did to him?
N-Nero and Sporus. I don't-- this is not IP I'm familiar with.
Well, Nero... pushed his wife... down the stairs. And uh... and then he had Sporus castrated and he married him instead. And he gave him a ring. And he made him dress up like his dead wife.
Wow! Plot twist! Didn't see that coming.
Yeah, I bought a book on the Romans to read in prison. It's a big book.
Well, is it a good book?
It's a decent book, yeah. I'd castrate you and marry you in a heartbeat.
