1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: I want to tell you about a podcast named model Wars.

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: I mean model as in fashion model, tall legs, big lips.

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: But in the nineteen eighties, it took more than that

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: to make it in the industry.

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 2: It's a freaking war zone. These people are animals. There's

6
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 2: no integrity, there's no loyalty.

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 3: That's all gone, and so models needed an agent to

8
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 3: help them fight their way to the top.

9
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 4: Till this day. Honestly, if I see a measuring tape,

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 4: I freak out. The model agent who fought the hardest.

11
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 4: His name was Paul Fisher.

12
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 5: Everyone kissing them praying.

13
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: I want that Paul was an agent powered by questionable money.

14
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 2: There was a rumor that his family was mob.

15
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: Connected, and Paul soon found himself fighting for his life.

16
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 5: I got off the phone. I pissed my pants. I

17
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 5: knew it. He was coming after me.

18
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: This is the real story behind the modeling industry.

19
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 5: Buck buck buck n deals.

20
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: Let's get models in, let's get them out.

21
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 4: It's about drugs.

22
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 5: And he wakes up with blow all over his freaking

23
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 5: nose and he says, hey, listen, I want you to

24
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 5: go to New York City and open up a modeling agency.

25
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 4: It's about cash.

26
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: Guys just carry me six thousand bucks.

27
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 5: Say Monday morning, you come in and work for me.

28
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 4: It's about sex.

29
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,199
Speaker 6: I saw all these creepy guys there and I turned

30
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 6: around and I said, I'm not here to your friends.

31
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 4: And it's about violence.

32
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 5: I've seen his boys hurt people badly, badly, badly, put

33
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 5: him in the hospital. That's part of it.

34
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,679
