Summary

It sure is good that the UK government is giving out funds to help the arts! And it sure is weird that they’re funneling money into Tory donors and their friends from school, to include multi-billion pound interests getting more money than entire cities in the North East! Whoever could have predicted this? To discuss it, we brought on friend of the show, actor, and YouTube star Olly Thorn (@PhilosophyTube) to discuss it with Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum).

0:00.0	You're watching 69 minutes. I'm Brian Kilmead, and we now return to our interview with British
0:09.2	Conservative peer Roger Highsmith, the second Earl of Dartford and the fourth Earl of Billy Ricky.
0:15.0	Mr. Highsmith, before you began your career as a conservative politician, you had a career in rock music.
0:20.2	Is that right?
0:26.5	I suppose you could call it that if you like. I released four studio albums from 1974 to 1990. Hot sounds, Richard Highsmith, higher than Smith, touched by Jehovah and a hard pussy.
0:34.3	Touched by Jehovah? It was an exploration of Afro-Cuban rhythms. I had shaken Stevens on it
0:39.7	performing on the Marimba. And correct me if I'm wrong, but it was through your music career that
0:44.0	you came to be friends with Jeffrey Epstein. No, no, not at all, really. I barely knew him, much less
0:49.6	getting to know him personally. I mean, I barely heard of the bloke. You didn't know Mr. Epstein at all?
0:55.3	I mean, the name rings a bell. I think he was around on the scene, but I never spoke to the man.
1:00.9	Well, Mr. Highsmith, we have 19 separate photos of you together with Jeffrey Epstein.
1:06.5	Three of them were taken in the last five years before his death.
1:10.4	I mean, that's news to me. I suppose I do have a habit of forgetting things.
1:14.8	And you also wrote your hit song, Call Me Mr. E.
1:17.6	Brackets, You Don't Have to Tell Me About Him.
1:20.3	Sorry?
1:21.2	On your 1987 album Hard Pussy, the lead single was entitled, Call Me Mr. E. Brackets,
1:26.3	you don't have to tell me, and was dedicated to, and I quote, my best friend Jeffrey Epstein.
1:31.7	Look, I think you may have me mixed up with someone else, I'm afraid. The idea of the song was that it was Call Me Mystery, like Mysterious. We just thought it would be clever to spell it that way.
1:42.7	Mr. Highsmith, I have a copy of Hard Pussy right here, and we can go over the track list if you want.
1:48.2	Jeffrey Epstein is credited on this album as executive producer, Gackman, my best friend, and the co-author of three of your songs.
1:56.3	Look, the late 80s were a real blur for me. I mean, we were cutting more lines than a panel of script
