What's up, everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. The story of Jeffrey Epstein and his abuse didn't start on the island. It didn't start in New York City. It started in Palm Beach. And from the word go, the fix has been in. And that's not just me telling you that we have documented proof, documented evidence of people who were involved in the case, talking about how Jeffrey Epstein was tipped off before the raid, talking about how the whole entire investigation was one of the most corrupt in the history of the United States of America in modern times. And the person that's telling us this isn't some crazed lunatic, isn't some conspiracy theorist who's hanging out with Alex Jones. Who we're talking about is the former Palm Beach Police Chief, Michael Ryder. And Michael Ryder said from the very beginning that. That the fix was in and that Jeffrey Epstein was being protected. And over the next few days, I'm going to back that statement up by showing you the receipts. And the first receipt we're going to look at is the one provided by Chief Michael Ryder. According to Chief Michael Ryder, the Jeffrey Epstein case wasn't just a scandal. It was the worst failure of the criminal justice system in modern American history. And Chief Rider would know because he lived it. He didn't read about Epstein in a newspaper. He wasn't reacting to headlines. He was there on the front lines in Palm beach when the calls first came in, when the first victims came forward. When the pattern became undeniable. He watched it unfold up close in real time. And what he saw broke something fundamental in him. Not because he'd never seen evil before. He was a seasoned chief, after all. But because this time, evil was met with obedience. Not from his officers, from the very institutions that were supposed to act. The prosecutors, the U.S. attorney, the federal government. This wasn't a case of miscommunication. This wasn't a missed detail or a procedural slip. Writers department did everything by the book and then some. They built the case the way you're taught to do in every academy across the country. They interviewed victims, cross referenced stories, built timelines, verified evidence, and when it was all ready, they brought it forward, expecting justice to take over. But justice didn't take over. It backed away and it lowered its eyes. What followed, Chief Ryder has described as soul crushing. A state prosecutor who seemed more concerned about Epstein's reputation than the lives of the girls he preyed upon. A secret plea deal crafted behind closed doors. A sentence so light it was practically a vacation. And worst of all, an ironclad immunity deal that protected not just Epstein, but anyone who helped him. It was a betrayal so vast that Ryder, a man known for discipline and restraint, put everything on the line. He took the extraordinary step of writing the FBI. He demanded a federal investigation. He risked professional alienation, knowing full well that speaking out against the machine could mean the end of his career. But he did it anyway. Because what he witnessed wasn't just failure, it was rot. And in his words, the Epstein case represented the worst failure of the justice system in modern times. And in this episode, we're going to hear his story. Not the sensational headlines, not the salacious lists or conspiracies, just the raw, unvarnished truth from the one man who stood inside the breach and refused to look away. This isn't a story about one man's crimes. It's a story about what happens when a system decides some men are too powerful to punish, when truth is inconvenient, and when justice gets priced out. And Chief Ryder, he didn't just sound the alarm. And in this episode, we're going to hear what Michael Ryder had to say. And to do that, we have an article from NBC News and the headline, ex Florida Police Chief Epstein Case the Worst Failure of the Criminal Justice System in Modern Times. The author of this article is Sarah Fitzpatrick and Rich Shapiro. Former Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Ryder spent years trying to convince state and federal prosecutors in Florida to bring serious charges against Jeffrey Epstein. Now the retired lawman wants to tackle a new mission to persuade lawmakers to take action to prevent the next Jeffrey Epstein from perverting the criminal justice system. I thought there was nothing to see here. I thought that Epstein was just a lone wolf and he wasn't protected by anybody. Well, the people who actually investigated Jeffrey Epstein tell us a completely different story. Epstein found every loophole, Ryder told NBC News as part of a months long Dateline investigation. I want some system in the future that this can't happen again. Ryder said he believes the state and federal prosecutors handling of the Epstein case amounts to the worst failure of the criminal justice system in modern times. I guess he's just a conspiracy theorist too. I guess Chief Ryder, who was actually in the middle of all of it, has no idea what he's talking about. And we should listen to Cat Turd and Charlie Kirk instead. Listen, folks, your knowledge only goes so far as your sources. And if your sources are bullshit, if your sources are corrupt, if your sources don't really care, then you're going to be led astray. And that's Why I always tell you, go directly to the heart of it. The people that were on the ground, the survivors, people like Chief Ryder, people who have spoken out against Epstein for years. Those are the people to follow, not these people that have just shown up all of a sudden taking marching orders from who the knows and trying to muddy the waters. Because anybody out here telling you that Jeffrey Epstein wasn't highly, highly connected, wasn't protected, and that what we seen go down in the aftermath of Epstein's death is normal, they're lying to you because there's nothing normal about any of this. The story begins in March of 2005 when the Palm Beach Police department received a call from the distraught mother of a 14 year old girl. The woman, rider recalled, said her underage daughter was having sex with an adult who lives in a mansion in Palm Beach. Palm beach police detectives immediately launched an investigation. They said this is credible, this is believable, said Ryder, speaking in his first in depth TV interview. Our sense from sitting in the room with the first victim was that this is something we've absolutely got to get on. 14 years old and time and time again, a lot of reports out there that Epstein had three girls a day. You do the math. How many girls do you think were abused in Palm beach alone? Then let's talk about all of the girls from Eastern Europe that nobody ever even brings up. My guess is a lot of those girls are never gonna speak up about what happened. We're never gonna hear from them. But that doesn't mean they weren't abused. That doesn't mean that Jeffrey Epstein wasn't doing this on multiple continents, because he most certainly was. The interview with the initial young girl led to another and another. I have no problem telling you everything that I know, one of the girls told police in a videotaped interview obtained by NBC News. Another told police that Epstein pulled out this vibrator thing and he pulled down my panties. The investigators were immediately struck by the consistency of the accounts were Ryder said the stories were all the same. He said they could all describe the house in detail. They could describe what happened. Well, that's because this is the truth and we all know for sure that Jeffrey Epstein was doing this. Imagine trying to move on from that when there's been no justice. Now, look, if this was something that has already been settled and we saw Epstein catch a real bid, then it would be a legitimate point to say, look, all right, he's been punished. We've investigated this fully, it's time to move on. But that's not the case, is it? So until then, respectfully, off with your move on nonsense. If you want to move on, go ahead. Go right ahead. Because the truth is, most of you people that are talking about this topic now haven't been in the trenches. You haven't been here fighting this war against these crazed lunatics for years and years and years. But some of us have. And those of us that have been in this war, the veterans, we know exactly what we're up against. And for those who are coming into this with open eyes, you're soon going to realize what we all realized a very long time ago. That the machine marches on. And that Epstein might be gone, but his operation has just been transferred to somebody else. In many cases, the victim's very specific physical descriptions of Epstein's body matched. But the detectives also observed that the accounts weren't perfectly aligned. That would have been a red flag that the stories were coordinated, Ryder said. The investigators also noted something else's significance. Many of the victims didn't know each other, so there was little chance that they had come together to concoct from false allegations. And of course, you always have to think about that, right? Something that has to be looked at. As an investigator, you have to look at all angles, make sure you're not getting hustled, make sure you're being told the truth. And where does the evidence point? And that's what it comes down to. Where does the evidence point you? And wherever the evidence goes, that's where you should follow. And within the first few weeks, the investigation was already bearing fruit. We realized that this was basically a way of life for Epstein, Ryder said. And it didn't take too long to realize that a lot of people were involved in this. This was a very prolific sexual predator. A lot of people were involved in this. Huh? Okay. I thought that Epstein was a lone wolf, though. Isn't that what the DOJ is telling us now? So are you going to believe the doj or are you going to believe the guy that actually worked the case, who actually has skin in the game? I'm gonna go with Michael Ryder. Detectives picked through Epstein's trash and discovered incriminating messages on scraps of paper documenting phone calls. She is wondering if 2:30 is okay. She needs to stay in school. Read one the note. It was clear to police were about massages and sex, Ryder said. And it isn't just the phone messages. Ryder said Epstein had flowers delivered to one of the victims who. Who was in a performance at her high school congratulating her at the end of her performance. Imagine that bullshit. You're at high school with your daughter for a play and she gets flowers or some shit from Epstein. Nothing to see here, folks. Just a guy that, you know has some proclivities. He wasn't the most prolific sexual offender in modern history or anything. A thousand victims. But let's move on. NBC News has spoken with nearly two dozen women who allege that Epstein didn't operate alone. Ryder said the investigation identified adult women who had sexual contact with underage girls and in some cases, performed sexual battery on children. I thought he did it all alone. There's nothing else to see here, folks. Ghislaine Maxwell's the only one that should be in jail. And you wonder why nobody believes the DOJ and their dumbass memo. And you know, the sad truth is, a lot of these morons out here talking about the case have no idea about the true genesis of what went on. They don't know Michael Ryder from Michael Rappaport. And they're going to be out here telling you that they know everything about the story. They know what happened. They have the inside information. They have the details. No, they don't. They don't even know the basics. But they want to tell us about how the whole entire operation was running. Okay, sure. This was a financially successful, smart, capable, well networked and well financed individual who built an organization around them that supported his criminal enterprise. Writer said, how come there is no rico? Well, I'll tell you why. Because you don't hit your own agents, your own assets with rico. That would be pretty ridiculous, right? You got somebody who's a CI and they're up to no good, you're gonna hit them with RICO if it leads back to you. Zero chance. So that's always one of the big tells when somebody of note gets arrested. If they get hit with rico, chances are they don't have any ties to anybody important. And on the flip side, when you see people get hit with rico, that usually eliminates any possibility that they're working for the government. But when you have the police chief down here on Palm beach saying that Jeffrey Epstein was the head of a criminal enterprise and there was never any kind of RICO investigation, what does that tell you? When he was stonewalled by the feds time and time again trying to open that kind of investigation, what does it tell you? It tells me that Jeffrey Epstein was protected. And you can deny it all you want, but I'm gonna need some proof because I'm showing up with receipts pointing the Other direction. So if you have some evidence that points away from it besides what some politicians telling you, I'd like to see it. But as the months wore on with the police building their case, odd things began to happen. When detectives armed with the search warrant entered his home with a video camera. What they found made them suspect that he had been tipped off. The place had been cleaned up. Ryder said it wasn't completely devoid of evidence, but a computer that was contained. All of the home surveillance camera footage was gone, and all the wires were left hanging there. Ryder said. So where did that go? I'm sure we don't have that evidence anymore either, right? God forbid. God forbid we have any evidence that's needed. And of course, that's all part of the plan. No evidence, no crime. They can fix the narrative. They can have their influencers show up their white binders and act the fool. But if there's actual evidence and actual paper trail, then that poses a problem, right? And that's why I've told you from the very beginning that I think that all of the evidence, anything that's going to be damning, has long been destroyed or stashed in some CIA black vault somewhere. But look again, I'm not the one telling you that Jeffrey Epstein was tipped off. Chief Michael Ryder is telling you that. After six months of investigation, Ryder said the local police department noticed a shift in attitude from the state prosecutors. Ryder said the prosecutors told him the witnesses were not credible. The prosecutors writer said suddenly seemed dismissive of the case and were uncooperative in approving critical investigative techniques that hindered the Palm Beach Police Department's investigation. Now, this is all normal, right? The police chief being hindered by federal agents and being roadblocked by them just to protect some guy who was accused of abusing kids. I mean, really, who does that? And. And why? What would motivate you to do something like that? Especially when we're talking about somebody like Epstein. Look, we're not talking about somebody who got in trouble for fraud or a DUI or something, you know, that we can forgive. We're talking about a prolific predator who, if you don't believe anything else about him, was abusing girls at least three a day in Palm Beach. And he only gets 13 months of real soft time. So please don't tell me that this is normal. Don't tell me that this is just how things go. Because if you're a normal person, a regular old citizen like the rest of us, you're not getting treated like this. You're not getting tipped off that the police are raiding your house. You're not going to know that something's coming down the pipe. They're going to kick in your door and they're going to drag your ass out and they're going to bring you to jail. Unless you're Jeffrey Epstein, that is. Alright, we're gonna wrap up this episode right here and in the next episode, we're gonna finish this bad boy off. All of the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box. What's up everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're picking up where we left off in the last episode, talking about the corrupt nature of the Epstein investigation from the very beginning. This article was published by NBC News and once again the authors are Sarah Fitzpatrick and Rich Shapiro. Epstein, who had a massive bankroll and extensive connections, had assembled the high powered team of lawyers, including Kenneth Starr, Alan Dershowitz, Jack Goldberger and Jay Lefkowitz. Around the time writers said the investigation took another strange turn. Epstein's defense team seemed to know details about the probe before they were made public. Oh, I wonder how that happened. I'm sure it had nothing to do with people on the high giving Jeffrey Epstein's lawyers information, right? That would never happen. That would be way out of bounds. So why was Jeffrey Epstein's lawyers having meetings with high ranking officials from the doj? Everybody wants to talk about Alex Acosta, but bro, you really think Acosta made this decision? You think Acosta was the guy? Zero chance. He was given marching orders and he marched to the tune that the DOJ was playing. Because I assure you that any deal that's getting cut, any kind of serious situation that's involving somebody like Epstein, who has donated so much money, who is so connected politically, that's not a decision that some mid level prosecutor in Florida is going to make. Now he can have recommendations and he can go to his bosses and say, look, this is what I want to do, but the bosses ultimately have to sign off on it. So if you're out here blaming Alex Acosta, congratulations, you fell for it. And whoever Epstein's handlers are, they thank you for it. We believe that the content of our probable cause affidavit eventually, sometime after we presented it to the state attorney's office, ended up with the defense attorneys writer said, because minute details that nobody else knew that were in those documents were being refuted and contrary information provided by the defense. The whole last thing was tilted from the beginning. And remember, they Were doing all of this to protect a guy that was accused of molesting little girls. And when we're talking about Palm beach, that's what we're talking about. Don't get it conflated. We're not talking about 19, 20 year old girls, we're not talking about 18 year old girls. We're talking about girls in High School. 14, 15, 16, maybe. But when Epstein was up to this with the high schools, he liked them young. And when the girls would age out, what he would do is have them go and recruit girls for him. And the girls themselves, they didn't know any better. 16, 17 years old, 16, some guy says, bring some friends over to give me a massage. And to these girls, that sounded like a great idea. Oh, I can go make a couple hundred bucks and give this guy a massage. Until they got there and he started molesting them. But the whole entire network, the infrastructure was built to make that seem normal. So that when the girls will come over and get a massage and then Epstein would do his, they talk to their friends, and their friends would be like, oh, he does that to me too. So in the girl's mind, remember, we're talking about kids here. In her mind, it's like, well, if all my friends are doing it, then it must be okay. But as we all know, nothing about this was okay. And the fact that this dirtbag was getting inside information is just unbelievable to me. And the fact that more people don't talk about it is wild. I mean, if you want to get down to it, you gotta start at the beginning, right? The origin story. And the origin story, when we're talking about Jeffrey Epstein's bullshit, most certainly begins in Palm beach. And this guy was abusing high school girls. Remember, we're not talking about, oh, this girl looked 19. Epstein knew that these girls were underage, and that's exactly what he wanted. But yet somebody in the federal government decided they wanted to protect him. Ask yourself why? Why Jeffrey Epstein? Why pull out all the stops for a man who is accused of crimes against children? It makes zero sense. This is the kind of guy that you usually try to put underneath the prison. Unless, of course, he has friends and money. This writer said, never happened to me before in my career. I don't doubt it. How many times are you dealing with somebody like Jeffrey Epstein? Imagine dealing with somebody like this as the chief and, and all this stuff starts happening and you're saying to yourself, look, I'm just trying to engage in an investigation here and bring down a child Molester. Meanwhile, I got the federal government, state prosecutors, everyone breaking my chops. And folks, unfortunately, this is just the tip of the iceberg. When you start digging into Epstein and what he was up to, it runs deep as. And that's why I find it offensive when you have the President of the United States out here talking about, move on. We haven't even figured out the basics yet when it comes to who was involved as far as behind the scenes. One thing we do know, though, is there are people involved. Stuff like this doesn't just happen. This wasn't a mistake. Somebody didn't just wake up one morning and say, you know what? Let's protect Jeffrey Epstein. There was motivation there. The question is, what was that motivation? And who was providing that motivation? Ryder was so frustrated that he took the unusual step of asking the State attorney, Barry Krisher, to remove himself from the case, citing the office highly unusual treatment of the investigation. The man investigating the case asked for the state attorney to be removed because he felt like there was impropriety. He felt like somebody in the state attorney's office or federal government was feeding Jeffrey Epstein information. And when that didn't work, the police chief turned his evidence over to the FBI, and they said, this is an easy case. This is a horrific situation. We'll put him away for the rest of his life. Ryder recalled. And that's what the U.S. attorney, Assistant U.S. attorney told us as well. So it was an easy case until it wasn't, huh? It was an easy case until Mukazi and Philippe called you and said, look, that's the end of that. Kill this shit. Kick this back down to the state level. Get us out of it, because we don't want to rock the boat. The last thing we want is some unnamed spook kicking in our door and telling us that they better back off of Jeffrey Epstein. I mean, what other excuse can there be? The fact that Jeffrey Epstein was being handled by the very, very top brass at the DOJ should tell you everything you need to know. But Ryder's renewed enthusiasm didn't last long. In time, it became clear that the federal probe was also stalling. Though he believes the FBI agents were invested in the case, I believe that this was a decision made by brass, point blank, period. Nobody else. Ryder arranged to meet face to face with the prosecutor in charge of the case, U.S. attorney Alex Acosta. Acosta would go on to be named U.S. labor Secretary under President Donald Trump. The conversation, Reiter said, did not get off to a promising start. He basically said in a very measured Manner that the defense in the case has successfully delayed and frustrated their investigation and their prosecution of the case. Ryder said. Imagine saying that this is the federal government we're talking about, not some podunk, backwater district. The federal government that has unlimited resources, unlimited money, unlimited prosecutors, but they could do nothing here. They were being frustrated by Jeffrey Epstein, huh? Or were they being frustrated by their own bosses? That's what it comes down to. And in my opinion, that's what was going on. Mukazi and Philippe, they're the ones who slowed this all down, and they're the ones who eventually made it go away. When you're the boss, the buck stops with you. I don't want to hear about middle management. I don't want to hear anything about the supervisor on duty. You're the boss. And that's why I always talk about Acosta being the fall guy. He don't make those decisions. But the fact that he went down for them is another tell that this was a big cover up. But Ryder left Acosta's office hoping for the best after the prosecutor told him they were moving forward with the investigation. I left that meeting thinking this guy hopefully is going to do his job, Ryder said. It didn't turn out the way Ryder had hoped. In 2007, Acosta made the decision not to charge Epstein in federal court. Instead, he sent the case back to the local prosecutors. How could you even write that with a straight face? How could you say that with a straight face? Anybody who knows anything about anything knows that that's not the truth, that a guy like Acosta isn't the one making that deal. It has to get signed off on. We're talking about a bureaucracy here. We're not talking about a guy with no notoriety. We're not talking about somebody who's not connected. We're talking about a guy that obviously had very, very deep connections to very, very powerful people. So acting like Alex Acosta is going to be the one to make that call has always been ridiculous. Ryder was crushed. The same office that had seemingly refused to pursue Epstein aggressively was now back in charge. Acosta agreed to sign a non prosecution deal that ended the federal sex crimes investigation and spared Epstein the prospect of serving several years in prison. Instead, Epstein pleaded guilty to state charges of soliciting a minor for prostitution and serve 13 months at Palm Beach County Jail. Epstein was also required to register as a sex offender and pay his restitution to his victims. So that made it all better. Everything was all fine and well now, right? No. The fact that they didn't go after Epstein here was with federal charges allowed Epstein to continue to operate all the way up until he was arrested. So all those girls who were molested and abused after he was arrested the first time in Florida, that's directly on the hands of the Department of Justice and the federal government. No wonder they want this all to go away. I've never seen anything like it. Ryder said it was extremely unusual and. And disappointing. Ryder said he believes the result would have been different had the victims been underage boys. That would have shocked the senses more. Writer said somehow this hit a different place and that they were young women on the way to being women. Man, that's horrible to even think about. How could you even think like that? Like, I don't even have a daughter. And the thought of a child, a young high school girl, being lured into the clutches of Jeffrey Epstein and is just almost too much to stomach. So I don't know how anybody with a daughter out here could give Jeffrey Epstein any kind of deal. But unfortunately, there's a lot of people who are sick in the head, and some of those people are the ones who can make decisions about mine and your freedom. And if that's not terrifying, I don't know what is. Epstein was released from jail in the summer of 2009. The case seemed behind him until 2018, when the Miami Herald published an expose highlighting the government's kid glove treatment of a man accused of preying on dozens of underage girls. Acosta defended the way his office handled what he described as a complicated case. We believe we proceeded appropriately, acosta said during a July 2019 press conference. We did what we did because we wanted to see Epstein go to jail. You had all the evidence to send him to federal prison. Stop the bullshit. All of the evidence was there. You didn't have the backbone, Alex Acosta, to stand up to your superiors. That's the real story here. Not that Alex Acosta gave out a deal. He didn't give out shit. Bro has no backbone, though, and that's why he should be ridiculed. Imagine your boss is coming to you and telling you that it's time to let this go, that you're just going to kick this back down to the state. I would lose my job. I would go absolutely bonkers. I go to the oig, I go to the President, everybody. There is zero way that I'd be okay with this. And any prosecutor that is okay with it is a spineless ass punk. And there's no doubt that Acosta is certainly guilty of that. But Acosta resigned as labor secretary two days later amid mounting criticism. Krisher, the former state attorney, didn't return a request for a comment from NBC News, but he released a statement in July defending his office and pushing back against Acosta's suggestion that the state prosecutors were driving the case. If Mr. Acosta was truly concerned with the state's case and felt he had to rescue the matter, he would have moved Forward with the 53 page indictment that his own office drafted, krisher said. And look, it's always been a game of hot potato. All these agencies pass in the book when they all play their part. But I think the most egregious issue here is the federal government kicking this back down to the state. They had everything they needed, but instead they punked out. Epstein was arrested on fresh charges in July. New York federal prosecutors charged him with sex trafficking and conspiracy in a case that featured similar allegations to those a decade earlier. Epstein pleaded not guilty, but he committed suicide, allegedly inside his federal jail cell last month. The death left Ryder thinking about the victims and their lost chance to see him held accountable. I feel badly for the victims, ryder said. I realize that there is catharsis in confronting Epstein and they'll never have that opportunity. But he hopes that the entirety of the case will lead to systemic change. Yeah, how's that working out six years later? How's it working out? Oh, that's right. We're just moving on. So what has changed? Nothing. That's what's changed. Absolutely nothing. The criminal justice system needs to learn from this and make sure it can't happen again, said Ryder, who still lives in Palm beach, where he runs a security consulting firm. Ryder wants to see legislation that bars minors from being labeled as prostitutes in the justice system. He also called on Florida lawmakers to to close the loopholes that allow people like Epstein to get away with misdemeanors for child sex crimes. If you look at the first dozen victims and their accounts of what happened to them, it's clear to me he was coached by a lawyer on how to only commit a misdemeanor, ryder said. If you're a member of the legislature and you're out listening to this right now, fix this. It needs to be fixed. Ryder also delivered a message to all those girls whose lives were upended, but by a middle aged sexual predator with endless resources available to him. I don't have any contact with the victims and if they're listening now, I'm embarrassed for the way the criminal justice system treated them back Then in Florida, Ryder said. But I want them to know that not every part of the system failed them. We did our job in Palm Beach Police Department, and everything that happened here should lead to in the future, if any of these things happen again to some other victim, that the system won't fail them. Chief Michael Ryder didn't set out to make history. He wasn't chasing headlines, and he didn't have a political agenda. He was a police chief trying to do his job, trying to protect children, trying to hold a predator accountable, trying to believe that the system he served would do the right thing once the truth was laid bare. But the truth wasn't enough. The Epstein case in Palm beach exposed a terrifying reality that in America, the rules bend for the rich and the powerful can buy not just silence, but immunity. And Ryder saw it firsthand. He saw a case with overwhelming evidence get quietly gutted. He saw prosecutors shrink in the face of billion dollar pressure. And he saw a man who should have faced decades behind bars walk away with a wrist slap and a secret deal that shielded his entire operation. And still Chief Ryder refused to back down. He went to the FBI. He wrote a letter to the victims. He called out corruption when it would have been safer to stay quiet because he understood something that most people in power seem to forget. That silence in the face of injustice is complicity. In this episode, you heard what he saw. You heard how the case was buried, how justice was bought, how victims were sidelined, and how the system, and at every level, chose to protect a predator over the truth. So the question now isn't just what happened. It's why did it happen? And more importantly, who made sure it did. This was never just about Jeffrey Epstein. This was about the system. It was about the system that let him thrive. All of the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
