Jared Sanchez, center, poses with The King, left, and King Puff, right, in his Tampa home Monday, Sept. 17, 2018. Sanchez is so obsessed with the 10-foot tall animatronic lions that sang Elvis tunes in Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants, he now owns four. 'I don't hoard, I restore,' he said jokingly during a recent tour. Sanchez converted a master bedroom of his home into a studio and now films the lions singing parody songs and posts them to YouTube.
