What's going on in Dallas, Dallan.
Speaker 2Yeah, this is a wild one from Robert Wolanski at the Dallas Morning News.
This is some good investigative journalism.
Here's a I'm just gonna read you some of what he wrote.
Here, he says, I called Terry Kafka at two twenty three pm on Tuesday.
I did not expect him to call me back.
Surely, after the events of the last twenty four hours or so, he had chucked his phone into the swimming pool and gone into hiding behind the high white hulls of his home, which the Preston Hollow Advocate once claimed helped pave the way for contemporary architecture in Preston Hollow.
Terry Kaffka is a seventy four year old man who is a high school friend of Jeffrey Epstein.
And it was revealed once Congress got their hands on it, and this is there's a fiftieth birthday book in which all of Epstein's friends wrote him letters.
The reason it's in the news and the reason it's in Congress is because it's the one that allegedly Trump drew a picture of a naked woman on And there's some weird sentences and back, you know, a conversation.
It's got Donald Trump's signature on it.
Speaker 3How long goes this?
Speaker 2Like this has happened this week?
Speaker 3No, No, I'm saying he turned fifty this week.
Speaker 2He's dead, right, Yeah, this would have been a long time ago.
Speaker 4Yeah, him and Trump were kind of close in age.
I think Epstein was a little bit I would guess early.
Speaker 2Two thousands would be my guess.
Yeah.
Speaker 4So this guy, uh, this guy's seventy four down four high school with Epstein.
Speaker 2So he moved here and as well, Oscar writes, I never expected to hear back from him, and I was shocked when two hours later he called me back.
Now, Kafka wrote a letter and it opened with, well, let's say a picture of the night Epstein's parents conceived him.
A drawing, A drawing, he said it was a lurid imagining of it, none of which I think I can quote here.
The letter also contains details about the night Epstein lost his virginity.
There are photos too, in the birthday book of Epstein, Kafka and two other boy boyhood friends and their underwear.
And then by the time they had spoken on the phone, the names and the photos had leaked.
I'm gonna show you guys a picture that's at the top of the Dallas Morning News with this article.
Speaker 3You can't send it, okay, in underwear.
Speaker 2It's four guys.
Speaker 4They're a bunch older there.
Speaker 2They were doing a reimagining a picture that they took, yeah, in high school.
The guy in the tight.
Speaker 4And he's ripped.
Speaker 2So very strange.
Speaker 4Right, how is this guy's name spelled?
Kafka?
So probably Kafka, maybe Kafka.
Yes, Okay, he's probably.
He probably wanted you to keep saying Kafka.
Speaker 2So uh, Wawatsky writes.
Watsky was shocked that he called him back.
He's like, why would this guy he's seventy four, h don't do media on this, Watska writes.
Unlike Trump, who continues to deny having written a letter with a now famous straw in the book, Kafka said that he did and said that the contents of it were horrible and not who he was.
He'll never put this headset on again, he said quote.
He said he also wasn't his idea.
He was instructed by Epstein's girlfriend Gilaine Maxwell to do this quote on the occasion of his fiftieth birthday.
I was contacted by Gilainne Maxwell, who I'd never met.
Good thing to say.
Yeah, She said, we're doing this big birthday party for Jeff and I know he was close to you as a teenager, and could you send him a letter or note for his fiftieth birthday?
She said, make it as funny as you can, and even make it a little raunchy, give him a laugh.
Speaker 4So I did, which, by the way, that's very sure.
That's very normal behavior for people turning fifty when they're friends, Hey, make a raunchy things like that.
Speaker 2Yes, Okay, I don't like, you know, if.
Speaker 4It's a close group of friends have known each other forever and kick each other nuts.
Hey, you know, like I think about how raunchy me and Ben could you know, write a funny birthday note with all our history together and how long we've known each other?
Right, Yeah, if you've known each other for fifty years and you go back to your teens, you can write.
You can come up with something raunchy and you're not gonna think it's going to be used against you thirty years later.
Speaker 3Yeah, you also have no idea what things people are going to do that you just happen to go to school with Yeah, right, Like we go to school with a guy, you know, we grew up with a guy, or I knew a guy who murdered someone.
Yeah, you know, and it's like what it was like that is it's not a reflection on us.
Yeah, Like he just went to our same school for a while.
But it's still.
Speaker 2Well, this is why because he says, I've never been in his airplane, never been to his island.
The extent of our relationship was growing up.
And that's what makes all this even weirder.
It was so long ago, it's all been so surreal.
I'm numb to it now, and he's on the news.
I don't pay attention to it anymore.
Speaker 4But also, he recreated an underwear picture in their Adult Wow.
Speaker 2But there's the thing.
The headline is two Dallas men because of the four men in the underwear picture that I showed you guys, is another man by the name of Warren Eisenstein who died in twenty fourteen.
But he was a Dallas optometrist and a musician who played guitar in the band White Clover before it turned into Kansas.
Speaker 5Whoa like Kansas Kansas is going on.
Harry on our Wayward said two guys, just Dallas dude taking around.
Speaker 4He you just bump into him at a potbelly and then this is becoming a lot like old school and you're just singing dust in the wind and it is crazy.
