"Druidon"—Brace, Liz, and Young Chomsky—kick off with chaotic nostalgia over the Gilly Maxwell trial, joking about collapsed Airbnb ceilings and Epstein’s Virginia Roberts, whose suspicious death days before recording left no police files. A hospital-bed Instagram post claiming kidney failure (and just four days to live) raised eyebrows, though the hosts admit medical uncertainty. The episode lingers on unanswered questions: Why no autopsy? Why the eerie timing? Roberts’ death exposes gaps in justice—or something far darker. [Automatically generated summary]
Ladies and gentlemen, not one but two theme songs today.
Why not?
Double your pleasure.
Double your fun.
Like that.
A little nostalgic.
I just feel like that wasn't it.
That gum ad felt a bit seedy to me.
But you love twins.
You know what?
Twins.
You know, it's funny that I mentioned twins because that's something you don't see on TV that much anymore.
People are sick of twins.
Although, now that I'm saying that, isn't there like a plot line in Sinners and Smith Twins?
I don't know.
A plot line?
I think it's about the main character.
I don't know anything about it.
I think about the trailer that I saw, I believe.
And the Thompson twins were just in the playoffs, so maybe still going.
Anyway.
Isn't the Thompson Twins a band?
Also, those guys.
Hello, everyone.
Hello.
We're not here to talk twins.
We're not talking twins.
I am Brace.
I'm Liz.
I'm Young Chomsky.
This is Twin Talk.
No, it's Druidon.
Hello.
Hello.
I think we should just get straight into it.
I just wanted to say that the reason that we were singing that song is that we were just revisiting on the old memory lane and we're looking for a clip that we'll talk about later on in the show from the Gilly Maxwell trial.
And man, that was fun.
I just want to say.
Was that?
I was actually saying the worst months of my life.
What are you fucking talking about?
Yeah.
You had so much fun.
You love to say that kind of shit now.
You had so much fun.
We hung out all the time.
Every day.
All day.
We got a lot of reading done and we, you know, we had a lot of insights.
And we got to.
Yes.
We made Kathy Lorenzo famous.
R.I.P. You talked to a lot of Marshalls.
I talked to a lot of different people.
We had a great, like, up early, going to bed, early schedule.
I did not sleep well.
But yeah, no, it was good.
It was good.
Remember my ceiling fell in?
Yeah, well, that was really an Airbnb issue.
It was.
It was the last Airbnb I think I've stayed in.
Well, they're illegal now, right?
I think so, yeah.
And also I have a home.
Oh, yeah.
But yeah.
Things have changed around here.
Things have changed around here.
I didn't realize it was in 2021.
Wow.
That was a long time ago.
And yet it was just yesterday.
No, it was four years ago.
And yet it was...
It was like it was yesterday.
But we...
But you haven't aged today.
That's right.
We've aged significantly.
Oh, it's horrifying.
You, in fact, look significantly younger.
Yeah.
If anything.
Well, it's the Benjamin Button.
You're like it done in Korea.
We are back talking about Epstein today.
We are.
We are.
Because as most, I would say probably all of our listeners know, one of the central figures in the Epstein case, Virginia Jeffrey, was found dead in her home in Australia just a few days ago as of the time of recording.
Her family and everyone's saying it's a suicide.
I don't think there's any, as of now, I'm sure that there will be by the time this episode comes out in two days.
Fix Dialysis00:01:02
Maybe there won't be, but there probably will be.
There isn't really like much reporting or any police files released on exactly what happened.
But as far as we can gather, she was found dead at her home.
You know, there was a kind of, I don't know how you would describe it, a strange Instagram post that she made a couple of weeks ago that had a picture of her in a hospital bed where she was sort of covered in bruises that had a caption basically saying that she was in a terrible accident and that she had renal failure.
I think it was renal failure.
It's kidney failure.
And that she had four days to live.
The doctor said she had four days to live.
I think a lot of people, I mean, for me, I was like, this doesn't make a lot of sense.
Like, I think you can cure that.
Like, you can fix that with dialysis.
I mean, I just, kidney stuff is kind of the only stuff I know about a little bit.
Yeah.
I was like, I think you can fix that with dialysis.
But there was just like something sort of off about the post.
