**Liz Franczak** (0:00)
Read it. Many times he died, and many times he rose again.
Yates, death.

**Brace Belden** (0:08)
From the epigraph of the Orphan Chronicles Volume 1 by Nicholas Rossi, aka Nicholas Aloeverdean, aka Arthur Knight, aka Arthur Brown, aka Zeus News. Rescued in Pache.

**Yung Chomsky** (0:49)
It's Zeus News.

**Liz Franczak** (0:50)
That's not how Zeus News goes, but... Hello, Liz. Liz. In my head, it goes, Zeus News. Zeus News.
Everybody Zeus News. Like Footloose.

**Yung Chomsky** (1:02)
So it's Footloose, yeah.

**Liz Franczak** (1:03)
Why are you lying about me? Why do you fib on me?

**Brace Belden** (1:08)
We're getting ahead of ourselves.

**Liz Franczak** (1:09)
It feels wrong to do a dead man's voice.

**Brace Belden** (1:11)
We need to do... Now, what are you talking about?

**Liz Franczak** (1:14)
Dead man's voice? Now, that sounds like a Johnny Depp movie.

**Brace Belden** (1:18)
Oh, God. No, you can do a... You can do anybody's voice.
Hello. Especially if they're of other ethnicities. The only time you can't do that is if they're alive. You can do it after they're dead because you can't disrespect dead people.

**Liz Franczak** (1:31)
Yes, you can. It's called disrespecting the dead. That's a whole thing.

**Brace Belden** (1:34)
That's not a real thing. That's something you just made up.

**Liz Franczak** (1:36)
I did not.

**Brace Belden** (1:37)
Hello, everyone. I think you disrespect someone who's dead. Well, there's skeletons. You can start crying.

**Liz Franczak** (1:40)
Brace.

**Brace Belden** (1:41)
Hello.

**Liz Franczak** (1:42)
I'm Liz.

**Brace Belden** (1:43)
My name is Brace.

**Yung Chomsky** (1:46)
I'm producer Young Chomsky.

**Liz Franczak** (1:47)
And this is True Anon. Hello.

**Yung Chomsky** (1:51)
Hello.

**Liz Franczak** (1:51)
I'm surprised we're not all wearing black.

**Brace Belden** (1:54)
Why? Because why?

**Liz Franczak** (1:56)
To be in the morning. What?

**Brace Belden** (1:58)
Oh, in my culture, we don't do that.

**Yung Chomsky** (2:00)
Well, it's the afternoon.

**Brace Belden** (2:02)
Yeah. No, we don't.
We tend to rub body oil on the dead.

**Liz Franczak** (2:09)
Right. You celebrate.

**Brace Belden** (2:11)
It's like a celebration of our life. And to do that, we of course need to be nude ourselves.

**Liz Franczak** (2:14)
Sure. Guys, long time listeners of the show.

**Brace Belden** (2:21)
This is tough.

**Liz Franczak** (2:22)
Well, know exactly what we're talking about because they have been following the news, the Zeus News, much like us. I didn't know where I was going with that. I'm still getting back in the flow of this thing, guys.
Nicholas Rossi, aka Nicholas Alavarian, aka Arthur Knight, aka Arthur Brown. I feel like there's others.

**Brace Belden** (2:47)
There are others. I actually had the full list, but I don't think I put it in the notes.

**Liz Franczak** (2:51)
Okay. Anyway, he's dead.

**Brace Belden** (2:53)
He perished, Liz. Please be respectful. He passed.

**Liz Franczak** (2:58)
Can we bring our listeners up to speed for those who haven't listened to our 2, 3, 4, Ta part series on Utah?

**Brace Belden** (3:08)
I don't want to hear it from them. We don't owe them anything. This is something that they took from us. For a while, it was permissible to say, even if you had sort of the job of educating people, that it wasn't your job to educate people. But they've taken that from us. Now, now when you say you're met with blank expressions, which by the way, I was met with back when I was educating people then as well.
But people were quite ungrateful for the Utah episodes because they said there was too many names. It was too hard to follow. The story was too crazy.

**Liz Franczak** (3:39)
Names, and I'm not talking about his names.
In my memory, there's too many Davids. That was the problem.

**Brace Belden** (3:49)
There was too many Davids.

**Liz Franczak** (3:50)
You know, it's too many Davids.

**Brace Belden** (3:52)
I felt like I was in the damn Bible. One is too many as far as that thing is concerned. So Nicholas Rossi, aka Nicholas Aloeverdean, aka Arthur Knight, has perished at the hands of death, aka, of course, the Grim Reaper. Rossi was born in the massive state of Rhode Island, had a very troubled childhood. His father, Jack, was an abusive con artist who beat his mother.
He was originally known as Nicholas Aloeverdean, but his mother remarried, and he changed his last name to his stepfather's last name, Rossi. His new father, David Rossi, was an Engelbert Humperdinck impersonator.

**Liz Franczak** (4:36)
I love that detail. Another detail I do think that is important for us to just say right off the top, this is not the first time he's died.
