Starting point is 00:00:00 This is an I-Heart podcast. A decade ago, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers, but it wasn't until 2023 when he was finally caught.

I'm the director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health, and I want to tell you about my new podcast called The Mailroom. And I'm Jordan, the show's producer. And like a lot of guys, I haven't been to the doctor in many years. I'll be asking the questions we probably should be asking, but aren't. Because guys usually don't go to the doctor
Starting point is 00:02:58 unless a piece of their face is hanging off or they've broken a bone. Depends which bone. Well, that's true. Every week, we're breaking down the unique world of men's health, from testosterone and fitness to diets and fertility and things that happen in the bedroom. You mean sleep?
Starting point is 00:03:14 Yeah, something like that, Jordan. We'll talk science without the jargon and get you real answers to the stuff you actually wonder about. It's going to be fun, whether you're 27, 97, or somewhere in between. Men's health is about more than six packs and supplements. It's about energy, confidence, and connection. We don't just want you to live longer.
Starting point is 00:03:33 We want you to live better. So check out the mailroom on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. What up, y'all? It's your boy, Kevin on stage. I want to tell you about my new podcast called Not My Best Month, where I talk to artists, athletes, entertainers, creators, friends, people I admire who had massive success about their massive failures.
Starting point is 00:03:57 What did they mess up on? What is their heartbreak? And what did they learn from it? I got judged horribly. The judges were like, you're trash. I don't know how you got on the show. Boo, somebody had tomatoes. I'm kidding.
Starting point is 00:04:09 But if they had tomatoes, they would have thrown the tomatoes. Let's be honest. We've all had those moments we'd rather forget. We bumped our head. We made a mistake. The deal fell through. We're embarrassed. We failed.
Starting point is 00:04:21 but this podcast is about that and how we made it through. So when they sat me down, they were kind of like, we got into the small talk and they were just like, so what do you got? What ideas?
Starting point is 00:04:30 And I was like, oh, no. What? Check out Not My Best Moment with me, Kevin on stage, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple podcast, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcast.
Starting point is 00:04:41 On this week's episode of the next chapter, I, DDJakes, get to sit down with Oprah Winfrey, a media mogul, philanthropists and global trailblazer. My life, although it may look like an anomaly, it has only been possible because I was obedient to the calls.
Starting point is 00:05:03 This episode dies deep into how Oprah turned pain into purpose and what it really means to evolve with everybody watching. Every decision I have ever made has come from sitting with the spirit and asking God What would you have me do first? Whether you're rebuilding, reimagining, or just trying to hold it together, this one will speak directly to you. Listen to the next chapter on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast, episodes drop weekly. Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of Trendor Act 2, Back in the Habit. Hey!
Starting point is 00:05:48 There we go. That's some respect on Back in the Habit. Yeah. Shout out to Whoopi. Shout out to Lauren Hill. Shout out to Kathy Najimi. Kathy Nagimi. Everybody's sleeping on Kathy Nagimi.
Starting point is 00:06:01 This is the second time I had to bring. The voice of an angel. Really? I know. Well, one of the many reasons that you are such a good co-host is that you. I keep you on. You police me on my Kathy Najeemi erasure in this building, in this dancery.
Starting point is 00:06:18 uh my name is jack o'brien that over there is mr miles gray who is it aka or who is it who did the title snarfula oh okay smorfula on the discord arfin keep snarfin uh let's get into the news uh donald trump is now in the uh hang the democrats phase yeah authoritarianism yeah or or if we're doing like the polymarket bit where it's like where is he on his existential crash out right now where the walls are closing in he's now lashing out i mean this feels normal anyway but um so a group of democratic lawmakers who all have like either prior experience serving in the military or like for the intelligence agencies they were in a video where they were like urging members of the military and intelligence community to you know do like the constitutional
Starting point is 00:07:03 thing where it's like you swear an oath to the constitution don't follow illegal orders because you know there's a lot a lot of illegal shit happening especially with just fucking boat murders on the high seas that's what it was in reference to right the bombing of private citizens in votes. Yeah. And I think just generally looking at the tone of this administration, just a good note to remind people, hey, this fucker might actually is probably giving illegal orders. So, you know, the Constitution, if we lived in the same world, it has your back.
Starting point is 00:07:33 But again, Donald Trump. You swore an oath to the Constitution, not this guy in particular. Yeah. He lost it. He, like, reposted, like, sort of like the story about it and said, it's called seditious behavior at the highest level. Each one of these traitors to our country should be arrested and put. on trial their words cannot be allowed to
Starting point is 00:07:49 stand we won't have a country anymore an example must be set it's really oh okay weird then the replies he went all caps on must be set which he hadn't gone all caps in over seven words like to be fair one two three four five six
Starting point is 00:08:06 seven words about fourteen words fourteen words all right oh god yikes oh god that's a real Nazi coincidence there huh so he's losing it then the replies people are saying like they should be fucking killed. They need to George Washington would have hanged them.
Starting point is 00:08:23 And he reposted that reply. And people were like, oh, so you are RT's endorsements? Do you have that on your bio? Is that what that means likes RT's are not endorsements? But maybe they are. So a lot of people were like, Jesus Christ, this guy is big upping the calls for these people to be hanged. He also put, apropos of nothing and, you know, probably unrelated to this.
Starting point is 00:08:47 seditious behavior, punishable by death. Yeah, yeah, there's that too. There's a, it's not just a re-truths. He also just wrote that shit. Yeah, so the lawmakers called the sergeant at arms at the capital because the president is, like, threatening their life. I don't know where that goes. I mean, he gets away.
Starting point is 00:09:13 I'm Jan 6 comes to mind, or fucking everything he does comes to mind. so not sure where that goes legally, but Hakeem Jeffries put out a statement and so does Schumer where they're like, this is absolutely diabolic, I mean, which is true. Yon to the pale. Yeah. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:09:29 I mean, I feel like they should feel safe and comfortable knowing that Hakeem Jeffries has their back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Probably the person most poised in the history of U.S. politics to be the Neville Chamberlain of the modern era. Yeah. I mean, thinking of like just the fucking the beginning of this administration when they were just running a rough shot over everything. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:57 And they're like, what are you guys fucking doing? He was like, we will, uh, we will respond. At the time. And in the eventuality here to four. They said at a time and manner of our choosing. Mm-hmm. Oh, my God. That's right.
Starting point is 00:10:13 And that's a mic drop moment. They're taking your sneakers off as we speak. and running your pockets and we will reply to trust me at a time of our choosing oh don't you taking your sneakers off right now you're hanging upside down right now shaking the change out of your fucking pocket they're shaking money out of your pocket right now even took your house keys not yet hold he's like he's like that scene in braveheart where they're just like waiting for the cavalry to get close enough so they can lift up the spears and surprise oh yeah yeah yeah he just keeps going hold hold and then everybody just gets trampled by the horses
Starting point is 00:10:48 he's just like on the ground dying with a horse print in his face yeah just smashed yeah hold um anyways they'll see they'll see just you just oh we got it we got it right where we want got their ass uh meanwhile Donald Trump did sign the bill you know to release the Epstein files the Department of justice now is apparently they got to release them files that means by this measure we'll have these by christmas yeah um what a christmas that would be oh god i do wonder like there's always
Starting point is 00:11:29 big news that gets dumped over thanksgiving you know because like nobody's there's no news cycle everybody's all you're not gonna yeah yeah you think that's too quick uh i don't know they got a little they got a lot of redacting to do they got a lot of redacting to do it's still not clear what tactic they're going to use, whether it's the, like, do fuckery force somebody to sue the DOJ, so they just go back and forth in court, because that's a time-honor Donald Trump tactic, is just delaying through the courts, which there is an avenue for that here. Not according to Pam Bondi.
Starting point is 00:12:04 According to Pam Bondi, you know, we're going to, we're going to do what is called for in line with the letter of the law, right? Yeah, exactly. She sounds very certain and straightforward about this one. Oh, yeah. It's, it's an absolute, look, let's just hear from her. She's asked pretty directly. So like, you're actually going to release the files. It's kind of like the sort of thrust of the question. And just really key into the absolute projection. I think the question is you, before you said it wasn't even worth releasing and what's changed now that it is the law that it will hear all of that in this clip. Yeah, here we go. mean that you will provide all the files by 30 days? We will follow the law.
Starting point is 00:12:51 The law passed both chambers last evening. It's not yet been signed. But we will continue to follow the law again while protecting victims, but also providing maximum transparency. Madam Attorney General, the DOJ statement earlier this year saying that the files would not release. You mentioned the fact that the review. of the documents and the evidence
Starting point is 00:13:17 did not suggest that any additional investigation of third parties was warranted. Right. That's right. You looked at all these and said, not nothing to see here. No, there's, based on what we're seeing, case closed, open and shut. Yeah. First of all, the guy's dead. Yeah, the guy's dead.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Yeah. Get over it. That is interesting question, Pam. Pamela, what, what hath you say to that question about, if you said there was no reason to investigate, what's the investigations? information that has come for information um there's information that new information and again we will continue to follow the law to investigate any leads if there are any
Starting point is 00:13:58 victims we encourage all victims to come forward and we will continue i think they are they they've they've all come forward yeah yeah there's many i mean maybe there are more victims but they're definitely victims for sure that you guys have like kind of it's like she went into autopilot there of like trying to be a reasonable like legal person to be like and obviously we encourage victims to come forward uh this new is information it's new information new information has come to light man new information for a new investigation um i thought she was about to go into pass the duchy but each generation with new information uh i'm wondering if she was flashbacking to like trump screaming at her i feel like this is a
Starting point is 00:14:42 person torn between worlds, torn between realities, where she just goes and gets reamed out by Trump and then has to come out here and act like she's a reasonable person who's not just doing his bidding. Right, because she does have a legal background. So I mean, like on some, obviously, she's made her devil's bargain in her mind. And she's like, whatever, like, I'm more maga than lawyer. But I wonder like- So you looked at these exact documents and now you're releasing these exact back then you said I don't see shit here you looked at all these same diagnosis now now you are releasing them uh what what changed um I would say information it just information is like the broad it like she could have
Starting point is 00:15:25 the only way she could have gone broader and more vague is like um things there are definitely things new stuff some new shit things are in motion yeah I again I'm glad that she does not have any confidence in saying that publicly. And Cash Patel looks like even more deer in the headlights than usual. A man who's resting face is deer in the headlights. Resting deer in the headlights is now like even more somehow. He is just in the core of his being is a deer in the headlights forever. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:16:03 One thing is interesting, the senators Lisa Murkowski and Tom Tillis did say that like the DOJ better not fucking slow walk this again those aren't really fighting words coming from famous pushover Lisa Murkowski but she said that quote people who feel very strongly about this
Starting point is 00:16:21 will feel like they've been duped if the Justice Department claims we can't release anything because we have an active investigation and Tillis said that delaying the release of Epstein related documents would trigger an angry backlash a.k.a. My constituents are fominy.
Starting point is 00:16:37 at the fucking mouth because of the fucking seven years of slowly ramping this thing up that you've done in their minds. Yeah. They might, I'm afraid of them now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Or are they? The storm is coming. The storm is here. I feel like we should get back to using Q language. They created this shit. Like, let's go. The storm is here.
Starting point is 00:16:58 The storm is almost upon us. Yep. We'll see. We'll see what it reveals. Probably, you know what, Miles, if I had to guess what it reveals? Hmm.
Starting point is 00:17:05 Information. Trump's a cool guy. Oh, I was going to say. Information. One thing we learned. I feel like there's going to be some information in there. Definitely some information.
Starting point is 00:17:11 Let's take a quick break. We'll come back and talk about some shit that's not Donald Trump. A decade ago, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers. But it wasn't until 2023 when he was finally caught. The answers were there, hidden in plain sight. So why did it take so long to catch him? I'm Josh Zeman, and this is Monster. hunting the Long Island serial killer,

Listen to the next chapter on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast, episodes drop weekly. And we're back. We're back. And I'd say number two on the Fox News. like best people list like number one's obviously Donald Trump with a bullet number two's got to be JC right Jesus oh hell yeah you know you don't got to tell me
Starting point is 00:21:14 who JC is bro my man JC he got something to say yep I like a brown yellow Puerto he used hell yeah he liked them all man he loved he loved people uh you fuck it with the Zoonation that's a reference to a very old hip-hop song I'm a classic I'm an old they're They're called classics, Jack. They're called classic. They're called foundational songs. That's a reference to a foundational text, okay? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Get over it. Right. I feel like one day kids are going to call them like spirituals. They're like, bro, are you singing that old spiritual again? I'm like that. That was, can I kick it? Wait, what? Anyway, sorry.
Starting point is 00:21:50 It's like a biblical illusion. Hey, speaking of biblical, Fox News is going all in on Jesus with an upcoming podcast. I'd love to see Fox News getting on the podcast game. Why are they getting in our fucking lane? Jesus podcast. I know. We were just talking about how one of our, I don't know which icon episode it's going to be, but we're going to have
Starting point is 00:22:10 a Jesus episode of the icon show that, by the way, the icon show now publishing Monday mornings. We just dropped the Einstein episode this Monday. Urkel coming up this coming Monday. But yeah, now you have a TDZ episode Monday morning to get it aware. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so they're coming for us
Starting point is 00:22:29 with a podcast called The Life of Jesus podcast. The Life of Jesus podcast. The Life of Jesus podcast. Podcasts are hard to name. Okay. Yeah. Yep. Um, part of their new Fox Faith Vertical, uh, which even has a logo with a little halo over the O in Fox. Okay. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. I feel like, I don't know. The O could have been made into a halo, but we're, we're not going to, we're not going to quibble here. Uh, it will be
Starting point is 00:22:57 presented by Fox and Friends co-host, Ainsley Earhart. And, So I was assuming that this was going to start. They were going to like nutty professor Dean Cain for this. Like it was just Dean Cain playing all the parts. This is where it gets a little, I don't know, depressing. Prestige casting, Jack. This is prestige casting. This is kind of prestige casting.
Starting point is 00:23:21 I mean, in the world of podcasts, this is like fucked. So it has like one of the best podcast casts. It's got Kristen Bell as Mary Magdalene. Ryan Cox as the voice of God. Fucking God, yeah. That's what? John Reese Davies is the narrator. Narrates.
Starting point is 00:23:41 What the fuck? Malcolm McDoll plays Caliphous, Caiaphas, whatever. And who's playing Jesus, Jack? Neil McDonough. Will McDonough is playing Jesus. Yeah, dude. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Come on, man. It's, I didn't realize, I mean, I remember when he was in band of brothers and I was like, oh, okay, this is interesting. and then he like hasn't been in a ton of stuff and apparently it's because he's like obviously I've been blackballed in the industry because I am so Catholic I don't kiss non-wife women on camera
Starting point is 00:24:14 so he'll never he it's like Denzel he's like you're not going to catch me with a white woman on screen like that okay his is you'll never kiss me my wife or else I will go to H.E. double hell wait he won't kiss anyone who's not his wife in the story or period he will not kiss another woman in any capacity unless it's his wife yeah all right this dude by the way i didn't
Starting point is 00:24:41 i didn't know who he was like off the top of my head i do recognize this face he's yeah i'm just a world war two freak so bander brothers has a special place in my mind he doesn't look like jesus he's not giving jesus in any real way i will say yeah um sean aston plays matthew this is what the fuck I mean, they all got to be Catholics, right? Kristen Bell doesn't seem to be religious at all. Oh, yeah. Her mom is born again, but she's been like, I am, my religion is not religious. That's what you can put me down as.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Oh, hell of yeah. But I think this might have, so a bit of explanation. I was like, ready to just be like, why are we letting these people get away with this? Fox News is actually licensing the show from a company called Gulfstream Studios. Yep. So it's possible the actors didn't even know where it would end up. Also, that is a studio named after the jet that is the only motivation for any of the actors working with them. Gulfstream studios.
Starting point is 00:25:43 I need that G6, bro. Yeah. Get me on it. Yeah. It still sucks, though. I mean, what's wild, though, too, is, I mean, I'm not wild. This has happened before. I remember, I think it was like maybe with Daily Wire Studios where, like,
Starting point is 00:25:59 people are like, I'm not trying to be in some Ben Shapiro thing. Like, I did another movie and they just licensed this thing. Yeah, yeah. Got to be careful out there, actors. Yeah, got to be careful out there. That's why, I mean, that's why famously I don't act. That's right. You just never know what they're going to do with your likeness.
Starting point is 00:26:16 Yeah, I'd rather have questionable ads pop up in the ad break and deal with that. Go out there and bend up on Fox News as Jesus. But yeah, Neil McDonough looks at nothing. Sorry, bro. You look nothing like Christ. Yeah. This is no good, man. He looks like Gary Sinesa's brother.
Starting point is 00:26:34 That's like more what he's giving. Who like did a bunch of Coke and his hair turned white. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's got a Beastie Boy's Coke white hair. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:43 I don't know. This studio made a big epic 20 CD verbatim version of the New Testament in 2008. 20 CD. That rules. This shows you, you just know already. It's like, I got the whole thing. What does that look like? Is it a?
Starting point is 00:26:59 Because remember, like, the Wu-Tang album, like when I think of a double disc, I think Wu-Tang Forever did the elegant thing where it looked like a single disc, but the single part just clapped out. But life after death, the Biggie album, when that came out, that was the old school, like, felt like two jewel cases glued together kind of shit. The fuck is a 20 disc when you got fucking 20, 10 of those fucking things? I prefer the double one. Make it feel like what it is.
Starting point is 00:27:25 It's two CDs, you know what I mean? Like an opus, a magnum opus. Yeah. all right and finally this ice experiment where you just like let people go out
Starting point is 00:27:35 and start like and claim ice just be like I'm ice and they don't have to have anything on them and there's no way of tracking
Starting point is 00:27:44 once they abduct someone there's no way of tracking it we had a feeling that that was like going to be I don't know dangerous especially when it was
Starting point is 00:27:52 it was like a recruiting crunch where they were like hey man yeah you're good let me let me see Can I look, look me in the eyes? Yep, you're good.
Starting point is 00:28:02 No, look me in the eyes. Sorry, they say I got shifty eyes. Yeah, sir, just hold eye contact with me. This is part of the admission. Sorry, I can't. All right, it's fine. There's been a rash of stories. Like, you just Google, like, Ice Agent arrested, and it's not like it.
Starting point is 00:28:17 You don't have to look far back into the news cycle to find a bunch of examples. Police in Bloomington, Minnesota, recently completed a three-day sting operation, which they use several methods to find people who are attempting to, to solicit a 17-year-old girl for sex. Wait, so that 17-year-old was an ice agent? No, no, no, no, no. No. So the Operation Creep led to the arrest of 16 men for sex trafficking,
Starting point is 00:28:42 including somebody who, when they arrested him, said, Hey, I'm ice, boys. Oh, you, I'm ice, boys. Bro, you're cooked. That's how he tried to use it to get out of trouble. the Minnesota police were like and so he's in jail now like we can give a fuck
Starting point is 00:29:03 when he was arrested he said I'm ice boys Hodges said well unfortunately for him we locked his ass up he didn't say his ass we locked him up the man is an auditor for ice so that's that's cool but yeah if you just Google ice agent arrested it's a massive shockingly recent list
Starting point is 00:29:22 there's the guy who claims to be an ice agent who pulled a gun on a 17 year old and detained him while off duty, even though he, I think, after the fact, was found to maybe not be, like, ICE is now, like, we don't claim that guy,
Starting point is 00:29:37 but he was going around just pulling guns on people. Right. Which, there's your problem. Anybody can do that because that's what you do. You don't have any, as Brian said, the American dream, just pulling guns on people with impunity.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Truly. Yeah. Yeah, they've created an environment where anyone with a gun can pull it and say, I'm ice and have the assumption of authority because they've loosed a bunch of random people with guns onto the streets who their uniform is masks and no identifying. And just screaming ice or CPB. Like, there was another guy I was reading about this who was arrested in Long Beach because he went into the women's room with his handgun out. Yeah. Hammered. hammered and they arrested him
Starting point is 00:30:27 he ended up taking his own life like recently yeah because he was arrested and then they they they were just like oh this guy odied on drugs after like there's there's so many fucking stories like this there's an NYPD sergeant who pretended to be ice while harassing a woman who like a woman
Starting point is 00:30:43 basically rejected him and he was like I'm am I actually ICE and we're going to deport your family I'm a field director with ICE actually field director As if NYPD sergeant wasn't terrifying enough. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:59 There's also the real ice officer who pulled a gun on a woman he thought was following him and filming him. Yeah. So he was like doing the group stocking thing, which is like, oh, you know, gang stocking, Jack, gang stocking. It's a big problem. Where people think they're being followed. My aunt says it's a big problem. The only reason we know about that one is a cop happened to be driving by when he pulled the gun at an intersection. So he just would.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Yeah, casually. Yeah. had the blammer out. Yeah. What are you doing? The woman being held at gunpoint asked in the video, are you for real right now? And now these cops are helping them.
Starting point is 00:31:31 I'm just driving. The agent said the woman had been following and filming him. The department said, and the officer informed him he could not assist if no crime had been committed. But isn't that like pulling someone over and pulling a gun on them? That's not a crime? I know they're like, well, she didn't do nothing.
Starting point is 00:31:49 They're like, but what about him? Yeah. I guess that wasn't even a question. I guess that's just for law enforcement, I'm like, yeah, bro, you pull out the fucking blicky and wave it in someone's face. That standard procedure. Yeah, it really raises the question. How much awful shit are these people doing, you know, people with no training or qualifications other than wanting to be in a, you know, position to wield power violently over other people? Like what is that leading to? I feel like we're just scratching the surface. Like, we're just seeing the ones that happen. to it like where the person is you know unwell enough to just
Starting point is 00:32:27 like pull a gun on someone at the at a fucking intersection or you know like gets caught on camera I mean the same sick people who are like running even the facilities where you hear about the completely subhuman conditions that the detainees are held under it's only the worst folks
Starting point is 00:32:43 hey I'm with ice I'm ice boys Jesus Christ you know he was probably like I can't wait to fucking do some fuck shit and when fucking PD pulls up. I'm like, hey, man, I'm ice, guys. Wait till I tell him this. They're going to be like, do you see the one guy who was driving drunk? I think
Starting point is 00:32:59 the guy who was driving drunk with his kids in the car? No. And he got pulled over? Yeah. Yeah, man. That's like, it's non-stop. Like, I didn't have time to do, to, you know, bring all of the stories. You just do a Google search. It's fucking endless stream of
Starting point is 00:33:15 people either ice agents behaving in like wildly flagrant ways or people pretending to be ice agents, using that as a means as a pretense to you know no that that one this guy was wild he got arrested in florida he got pulled over and he's like guys on border patrol whatever uh and yet they're like bro you have a seven and nine year old in here do the field sobriety test he fucked it up and then he started asking one of the officers are you Haitian and then trying to flip it on the cop who
Starting point is 00:33:44 was like being like are you drunk he's like are you Haitian because we might have to do something about you and they're like dude get in the fucking car Imagine what this guy's like. Yeah. Brian, the editor, and he said, quote me on this. He said, ice, ice, shady. And that's the best joke he's ever done. And you can quote him on that.
