Are you a King or a Slave?

And do you want fries with that, Richard?

Meet "Soverign Pete", possibly one of the stupidest men ever walking this blighted earth. He's not going to win any intellectual awards. Still, he's a towering colossus of brilliance compared to the guests we usually find on Vobes' show - and indeed, somebody who has profoundly influenced Vobesey.

And what on earth is wrong with Soverign Pete's beard?
