boss, what's the most dreaded question that you can get when you tell people you host a podcast called the Lapsed Fan? Ugh. It's what is it about and why is that, do you think? Because to like pro wrestling is to lose the respect of others. Now what if we told you there's a podcast that explains exactly why that is and why it's kind of deserved? For over a decade, we've taken fact finding missions through the thicket of half truths that is wrestling history. We watch old matches, call out carnies, laugh at our own jokes, and have so much fun doing it that some people actually can't handle it. Think wrestling is an escape from real life? Think again. Same power games, same office politics, same people lying to your face. Just with entrance music and absolutely no company health insurance under any circumstances. All I offer is opportunity, not benefits. As do we, Vince. The Lapsed Fan podcast comes. Come for the wrestling history. Stay for the uncomfortable truth about why it used to be better and why you still care.

What's up, everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. A couple of days ago, we talked about a story about a possible suicide note that was allegedly found by Nicholas d' Artaglioni in the jail cell that he was sharing with Jeffrey Epstein. And according to the reports, nobody's ever seen the letter besides Nicholas Tartaglioni and his lawyer. Now the DOJ is siding with the New York Times in hopes of getting this note unsealed. And why wouldn't they? Wouldn't that go towards their narrative? Oh, Epstein killed himself. Pretty convenient that all of a sudden you guys have a note now that nobody ever heard of. And the capper for me is that Nicholas Tartaglioni is the one who found it. As if I'm gonna believe anything that dude has to say. It's like believing Ghislaine Maxwell. You can't believe people who are unbelievable. Not if you want the truth. But when it comes to Epstein, it would seem like the government wants anything but the truth. Today's article is from ABC News Headline Federal prosecutors Support unsealing purported Jeffrey Epstein suicide note. This article was authored by James Hill, Catherine Falders and Aaron Katerski. Federal prosecutors on Monday sided with the New York Times, which petitioned a judge in white Plains, New York, to unseal a purported suicide note by Jeffrey Epstein. The note is sealed as part of criminal proceedings and involving Epstein's one time cellmate, convicted quadruple murderer Nicholas Dartaglione, who told the paper he discovered the note tucked inside a book after Epstein's unsuccessful suicide attempt in July of 2019. So he left a note the first time, but not when he, quote, unquote, killed himself the second time. Okay, I guess that makes sense, huh? If you're an absolute dolt and Tartaglioni just happens to find the note, and now that the government's pushing the whole narrative about what happened to Epstein inside of that jail cell, they conveniently find it. Okay, I guess just another coincidence, huh? The times asked the court to unseal the note, arguing that because Tartaglioni talked about it, there is nothing left to keep secret. And why would it have to be secret? What does that have to do with his case? How does that have anything to do with. With Tartaglioni? And why wasn't it seized by the officers? Did they not toss the cell after Epstein was killed? Or after Epstein allegedly attempted to kill himself the first time? You didn't go in and toss the cell like you're supposed to, huh? I wonder why. Could it be that Tartaglioni was put in that position to do exactly what he did? I'll leave that up to you to decide. Federal prosecutors agreed, writing to the judge that there was no longer a compelling interest in keeping the item sealed. If tartaglioni has publicly discussed matters occurring in the carouso proceedings, then his public statements constitute a waiver of the need for continued ceilings. As to the matter he has publicly disclosed, u. S. Attorney Jay Clayton wrote in a letter on Monday. So since it's favorable to them, or they think it will be, they want the note out. Do you think they'd be so quick to act as it was something that wasn't favorable to them? Notice they haven't said about the npa, right? God forbid they take a look at that. God forbid they do the right thing. But this suicide note, you better believe we want it out. We want the public to see it so they can push their narrative so that they can point to that quote, unquote note that Nicholas Tartaglioni probably wrote and say, hey, Jeffrey Epstein this guy was suicidal, and he planned on doing this the whole time. It wasn't our fault. Nobody did it. It was just circumstance, all coincidence. Everything just lined up at the perfect time on the perfect day for the perfect person. And if people want to believe that, great. Me, personally, I don't buy it for a second. Never have, never will. It will now be up to Judge Kenneth Carrass to decide whether to allow the public to see another piece of long concealed evidence related to the late sex offender who hanged himself in jail in August 2019 before prosecutors could put him on trial for sex trafficking. Minors, allegedly. And you know what? At this point, James Hill knows better. He knows better. He's been covering this story long enough to know better. But it's all part of the hustle, right? All part of the COVID story, all part of the narrative. Epstein was found in his cell on July 23, 2019, with a homemade noose foundation fashioned around his neck, according to a Bureau of Prison's incident report. Do you believe that incident report, though? After listening to Michael Thomas, Tova Noel, the captain, the lieutenant, the warden, I mean, these people didn't even know the basics of their job, if you listen to their depositions. So in my opinion, at this point, everything that happened at that jail, everything that happened to Jeffrey Epstein has to be reevaluated. And. And I think that the way that the OIG went about it, when it comes to Tovin Noel and Michael Thomas, I didn't like it at all. They weren't confrontational enough, and they didn't really hammer home the points that they should have hammered home, and they should have never been given a deferred sentence. Thomas and Noel, they both should have went to prison, as far as I'm concerned. Imagine being that bad at your job and then trying to just say, oh, well, I fell asleep. I don't know. I didn't know what my duties were. I had no idea I was supposed to do rounds or counts. I mean, come on. And that's why I wanted to go through those depositions word for word, like we did, because it shows you how evasive they were, and it shows you that they didn't want to sit down with those OIG investigators. Epstein was lying in the fetal position on the floor of his cell, wearing a T shirt and boxers, and he was breathing heavy and was snoring. His neck was red with no abrasions. The report said Epstein was determined to have sustained a circular line of arrhythmia at the base of his neck and friction marks on the front of his neck. According to the report, at first, Epstein alleged that his cellmate Tartaglione had tried to kill him, an allegation he did not repeat. He later said he could not recall what happened. Tartaglioni has denied attempting to harm Epstein. Yeah, so let's just believe his word. And that's a lie right there too, because Epstein told his lawyer the same thing. So what's James Hill trying to accomplish with this article? Really trying to run cover for the bop. The whole entire framing of it's odd. Tartaglioni first mentioned the existence of the purported suicide note in a podcast last year. Why is he on a podcast? Why is this convicted murderer doing a podcast? Hell, what's next? Rex Heuerman jumping on one of these podcasts to tell us all how innocent he is after he admitted to being guilty? The clown show just continues to roll on, doesn't it? Federal prosecutors from the Southern District of New York did not know of any suicide note written by Epstein. Sources familiar with a matter previously told ABC News. But a two page chart contained in the Justice Department Epstein files referenced it. Sometime between 7:23 and 7:27. NT found the note, the chart said, referencing Nicholas Tartaglioni by his initials. The chart said that Tartaglioni's lawyer, Bruce Barkett, authenticated the note in January 2020, but did not say how. Yeah, let's just believe Barkett and Tartaglioni. What are we doing here right now? Is this really happening? Is this real life? Are people really going to let this narrative play? What a bunch of nonsense. I don't believe that it's a suicide letter. And I think that Tartaglioni is the one who wrote it. Barkett previously declined to comment on the matter to ABC News because the note is sealed. Epstein, a wealthy financier who owned two private islands in the Virgin Islands, came under investigation for allegedly luring minor girls to his seaside home in Palm Beach, Florida for massages that turned sexual. Allegedly. Did he get convicted of that? Oh, that's right, he did. No. Allegedly. Here he served 13 months of an 18 month sentence for sex crimes after reaching a controversial non prosecution agreement in 2007 with the U.S. attorney's office in Miami. And I know, I know. Just another coincidence that MPA was totally organic. They didn't go over the head of the Southern District or anything like that directly to the brass at doj. None of that ever occurred. What are you, a conspiracy theorist? In 2019, Epstein was indicted on charges that he sexually exploited and abused dozens of minor girls at his home in Manhattan, New York, Palm Beach, Florida, among other locations, and use cash payments to recruit a vast network of underage victims, some of whom were as young as 14 years old. Epstein died in jail while awaiting trial on August 10, 2019. His death was ruled a suicide by hanging by a New York medical examiner's office, and the Justice Department concurred with that finding. Well, that's it. Nothing to see here. I always love it when the people that are under suspicion are telling everybody else that the story is over. And the fact that ABC News would run with that narrative is hilarious, especially considering the way they go after the Trump administration for other things. But this narrative, this time around, they're telling the truth and we can believe what they have to say. Tartaglioni was convicted in 2023 and sentenced in 2024 to four consecutive terms of life imprisonment. His appeal is currently pending before the 2nd U.S. circuit Court of Appeals. Yeah, he's never getting out of jail, okay? That dude's gonna be in prison the rest of his life. Why? Because he's guilty. And if you followed the trial, you know he's guilty. Ample amount of evidence was provided. Nicholas Tartaglioni obviously killed those dudes, and there's no reason that anyone should listen to a word he has to say. And as far as the DOJ goes, pretty convenient, huh? This whole conversation starting talking about, you know, Epstein's death, etc, all of a sudden, now they have this note and they want it unsealed. Pretty convenient. Now, of course, the question is, is the judge going to play ball? Will the judge unseal it? So we'll have to see what goes down as far as the judge's ruling, but as soon as we have one, will get it added to the catalog.
