from 165 - Please Come Kill Us · #165

2 min

Tim relays a vague secondhand story about a family (implying Warren Buffett) reacting suspiciously the day Epstein died, then pivots to interrogating Ray's strange career path from morgue worker to mosquito lab to EDM producer who built his own synthesizer.

In this bit5 moments
  • Tim's friend told him a crazy Epstein story about a Hamptons family that had a meeting the day Epstein died, but he can't repeat the details or name the family on air.
  • Raymond has started making EDM music, a surprising turn given his previous jobs at a morgue, mosquito lab, prison, and media company.
  • Raymond built a synthesizer in high school using parts from Radio Shack and has been flirting with electronic music production since then.
  • Tim notes Raymond's old tracks were nearly unlistenable, but he's made a big leap with his new music.
  • Tim compares the strategy to Lou Pearlman's management of the Backstreet Boys, positioning Raymond as the Pearlman figure orchestrating EDM talent.
