Description
[originally published on Patreon Dec 29, 2023] Today I'm joined by Reid (@seriations) to discuss maybe the most conceited man in the world - Ira 'the Unicorn' Einhorn. In this episode, we get into Einhorn's family history and early life, his time studying to be a guru, and his work as a snitch and informant. I lost my damn mind researching a related figure, Weldon Melick, who very much appears to be Something, but what that Something is, isn't entirely clear to me. Then we get into Einhorn's drug dealing and drug usage, which also got me sidetracked with a brief yet interesting parapolitical history of DMT. [note: my buddy Luke Marshall had only just launched his podcast when we recorded this episode, so I accidentally referred to it as "Things Unsolved" when his podcast is "Things Observed"] Songs: Motherly Love by the Mothers of Invention Venus in Furs by the Velvet Underground Absolutely Free by the Mothers of Invention Hungry Freaks, Daddy by the Mothers of Invention
