• Tom Wambsgans : Greg, what do you know about, um, Nero and Sporus?

  Greg Hirsch : Nero and...?

  Tom Wambsgans : Sporus, Greg, yeah. Sporus was a young slave boy, he was Nero's favorite. And, uh, do you know what Nero did to him?

  Greg Hirsch : N-Nero and Sporus, I don't -- this is not IP I'm familiar with...

  Tom Wambsgans : Well, Nero pushed his wife down the stairs. And, uh, 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.

  Greg Hirsch : Wow, plot twist -- didn't see that coming!

  Tom Wambsgans : Yeah, I bought a book on the Romans to read in prison, it's a big book.

  Greg Hirsch : It's a good book?

  Tom Wambsgans : It's a decent book, yeah. I'd castrate you and marry you in a heartbeat.
