00:00:00
Speaker 1: I want to tell you about a podcast named model Wars. I mean model as in fashion model, tall legs, big lips. But in the nineteen eighties, it took more than that to make it in the industry.
00:00:14
Speaker 2: It's a freaking war zone. These people are animals. There's no integrity, there's no loyalty.
00:00:20
Speaker 3: That's all gone, and so models needed an agent to help them fight their way to the top.
00:00:28
Speaker 4: Till this day. Honestly, if I see a measuring tape, I freak out. The model agent who fought the hardest. His name was Paul Fisher.
00:00:36
Speaker 5: Everyone kissing them praying.
00:00:38
Speaker 1: I want that Paul was an agent powered by questionable money.
00:00:44
Speaker 2: There was a rumor that his family was mob.
00:00:47
Speaker 1: Connected, and Paul soon found himself fighting for his life.
00:00:52
Speaker 5: I got off the phone. I pissed my pants. I knew it. He was coming after me.
00:00:56
Speaker 1: This is the real story behind the modeling industry.
00:01:00
Speaker 5: Buck buck buck n deals.
00:01:02
Speaker 2: Let's get models in, let's get them out.
00:01:07
Speaker 4: It's about drugs.
00:01:09
Speaker 5: And he wakes up with blow all over his freaking nose and he says, hey, listen, I want you to go to New York City and open up a modeling agency.
00:01:17
Speaker 4: It's about cash.
00:01:19
Speaker 1: Guys just carry me six thousand bucks.
00:01:21
Speaker 5: Say Monday morning, you come in and work for me.
00:01:23
Speaker 4: It's about sex.
00:01:25
Speaker 6: I saw all these creepy guys there and I turned around and I said, I'm not here to your friends.
00:01:31
Speaker 4: And it's about violence.
00:01:34
Speaker 5: I've seen his boys hurt people badly, badly, badly, put him in the hospital. That's part of it.
