The release of the Epstein files has been an incredibly confronting and disturbing time for everyone. The court filings, emails, photos, flight logs and other materials relating to Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal network have exposed so many people in power and most of the world are left wondering whether they will ever have to take accountability for what they’ve done.
But they’re also overwhelming and it can be hard to distinguish what is internet theory and conspiracy from what is fact.

A few weeks ago on the podcast, Britt’s recommendation was Aaron Parnas. He is a lawyer and a journalist and has amassed 5 million followers on tik tok, 3 million on instagram and his substak, “The Parnas Perspective” is the top-ranked news newsletter on the site with more than 750,000 subscribers. His content intersects law, media and policy and he is known for his rapid response posting multiple times a day. He has become a go-to for Epstein file updates.

Today we speak with Aaron about:

• How and why he became such a prominent voice in this space
• Who Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were and how they became connected with very powerful people
• Why we are only really hearing about the Epstein files now
• How Trump is connected to Epstein
• Could Trump possibly be prosecuted in the future?
• Whether we will ever see the other 3 million files
• The people being criminally investigated/fired from their jobs
• How Trump could pardon himself
• Unpacking conspiracy theories like pizza gate, jerky and the babies
• Jeffery’s connection to Russian intelligence and other agencies
• The inconsistencies around Epstein’s death

Hey lifers!

Tonight is the first night of our new TV show and we’re so excited to unpack the ins and outs of MAFS.

How does burnout feel for you? Laura had a conversation about interpreting ‘normal’ requests as threats when you’re at the point of burnout and how it’s showing up in every facet of her life at the moment.

Are you good at spotting a liar? How about when it’s your own children? Laura can’t tell when her kids are telling the truth or when they’re conspiring to tell perfect fibs. They could be great actors or Laura could be really gullible!

We need to talk about the Wuthering Heights chaos. Britt and Keeshia went to the Australian premiere last week and give their takes on what they thought of the in person versions of Margot and Jacob.

We unpack whether book adaptations should stay close to the actual story line and why there’s so much criticism about this particular adaptation. We also ask “Why does Hollywood keep adapting the same stories instead of creating new ones?”
