As a kid growing up in Chicago, there was one horror movie I was too scared to watch. It was called Candyman. It was about this supernatural killer who would attack his victims if they said his name five times into a bathroom mirror. But did you know that the movie Candyman was partly inspired by an actual murder? I was struck by both how spooky it was, but also how outrageous it was. Listen to Candyman, the true story behind the bathroom mirror murder, starting October 3rd, wherever you get your podcasts.

You're listening to Comedy Central. Ow. From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central, it's America's only source for news. This is The Daily Show with your host, Ronnie Chieng. Thank you. Thank you. Welcome to The Daily Show. I'm Roy Chang. We got so much to talk about tonight. Rudy Giuliani screams into the void. People are reading porn sites for the comments. And Lewis Black is here.

He seems really mad about something. So let's get right into it with another installment of Indecision 2024. Let's kick things off with breaking news out of the North Carolina's governor's race where the Republican candidate is Mark Robinson, a hardcore mega conservative who is on the record with statements like this. There's no reason anybody anywhere in America should be telling any child about transgenderism, homosexuality, any of that filth. And yes, I call it filth.

Ain't that but men and women. Ain't but two genders. Wow, this is the worst Nutty Professor reboot ever. I mean, looks like this guy is pretty anti the gays. And if there's one thing history has taught us is that when a politician is this outspoken about how gross gay and trans people are, there will be nothing in his internet history that will embarrass him at all. In three, two, one.

Shocking new details about the Republican running for governor of Battleground, North Carolina. The state's current lieutenant governor, Mark Robinson, a CNN investigation finds that Robinson, for years, posted on a porn site starting in 2008. In the form of the website Nude Africa, Robinson wrote, I like watching *** young girl porn. That's's hot.

It takes the man out while leaving the man in. And yeah, I'm a perv too. I guess there are more than two genders when it's time to jerk it. I mean, it says that right in the Bible, right? Like if you couldn't read it, it's because the pages were stuck together. I mean it says that right in the Bible right like if you couldn't read it is because the pages were stuck together I mean Look this is not going to play well with his base his political base not his other the base of the

I mean is there anything else he said on these sites? Robinson called himself a quote black Nazi and when describing then President Barack Obama, writing quote, I take Hitler over any of the shit that's in Washington right now. It even goes beyond that. Another disturbing post, Robinson defended slavery, writing quote, slavery is not that bad, and I wish they would bring slavery back.

I would certainly buy a few. Oh! So this guy called himself a Nazi who likes Hitler and slavery. I take it back. I think maybe his base will still like him. I mean the whole thing just kind of, it cancels out, you know what I mean? But this is the craziest combination of scandals I've ever seen. But the most insane part of this is that he said all of this stuff in the comment section of a porn site. Nobody should be writing in the comment section of a porn site.

You know what you should be commenting on a porn site? Nothing, nothing. You're not there to make friends. nothing, nothing. You're not there to make friends. You're spending way too much time on porn sites if you're getting into your views on slavery, okay? Like, most people are there to watch porn, and you're like, here's my problem with the Emancipation Proclamation. However, if you are a politician

and you just have to comment on nudeafrica.com, instead of Nazi stuff, make it uplifting. Like, you know, once I'm done jerking off, let's work together to solve the housing crisis. But let's move on from Mark Robinson to the guy who called him better than Martin Luther King. It's Donald Trump. Last night he held a rally in Long Island, otherwise known as the Florida of New York.

And... I know you're thinking, is New York a swing state? No, it's not. But Trump just wanted to go someplace where people were more bronzer than him. Now, at the rally, Trump did his usual rant about how New York has turned into a third-world hellhole. And to prove his point, he brought out a New York icon that has decayed beyond all recognition.

Rudy Giuliani. God bless Donald J. Trump, his wonderful family. I pray to God that he keeps them alive. No more attacks! No more attacks! No more! Stop it! If there's anybody behind it, I'll find them!

I did it to the mafia! I can do it to them! If you're behind it, Rudy is so feral, I'm worried RFK Jr. will put him in his trunk. But you heard Rudy Giuliani. Hey, if you're the person who keeps trying to assassinate Trump, he wants you to stop it. Stop it. Stop it, you bad assassin. Stop that right now. He's coming to get you, he's gonna get you.

And good luck trying to outrun Rudy Giuliani on three whiskeys. But one of the big stories of the night was that Trump said he's going to visit Springfield, Ohio. And not for their lovely attractions like Buck Creek State Park or any of the other stuff I saw on their Wikipedia page. No, Trump is going to Springfield so he can continue spreading bullshit lies about Haitian immigrants eating cats. Even though journalists have been looking into the original reports and surprise surprise,

they're all falling apart. The woman behind a Facebook post credited with launching the baseless rumor is speaking out to NBC News. Erika Lee says her claim that a neighbor's missing cat may have been taken by Haitian neighbors was wrong, now saying she had no firsthand knowledge of any such incident. Lee telling me, I messed up royally. Uh, whoopsie doopsie!

Sorry, I set off a race war in the middle of a presidential election. That's... totally my bad. This is why it's a bad idea to let our politics be driven by random shit people post on Facebook. Okay, Facebook should not be considered a news source. It's a place you go to see AI images of what Jesus would look like as a shrimp. And that's not the only story that's been debunked. Remember the Ohio woman who said her Haitian neighbors

stole her cat? Any updates on that? The journal tracked down this Springfield woman you see on your screen. She had reported that her cat was missing and that she believed her migrant neighbors were to blame. Well, the Trump campaign reportedly pointed to her story as an example, but that woman's cat, Ms. Sassy,

was later found in her own basement a few days later. And the woman acknowledged her mistake and said she apologized to her neighbors. The cat was in the basement the whole time! Here's a little tip for anyone out there with a missing pet. Okay, before you accuse your Haitian neighbors of stealing them, maybe you could first try looking around your house.

So, you might imagine. You might imagine that JD Vance would apologize for spreading these lies, but that's not what happened when he was confronted with the truth. Why are you continuing to double and triple down on these baseless claims? I trust my constituents more than I do the American media that has shown no interest in what's happened in Springfield

until we started sharing cat memes on the internet, which is disgraceful that the American media ignored this town. And that's the most important part. Is that the most important part? I mean, so what you're saying, it's okay to say things that are bullshit in order to get people to focus on other things that aren't bullshit? I mean, if that's true,

this is gonna revolutionize the way I write resumes. Okay, okay, I wasn't the CEO of Microsoft, but how else would you have noticed that I'm proficient in Excel? Although, in a way, Vance's plan did work, because lying about this did bring attention to another bigger issue, that these guys are all super racist.

So very sneaky, JD. For more on this, let's go live to Springfield, Ohio with our very own Troy Iwata. Troy. Troy. Troy. Troy. Uh, holy shit.

What happened to you? Well, Ronnie, I interviewed Ms. Sassy the Cat. And just like her name implies, she really is a f***ing bitch. Okay, wait, wait, wait. You interviewed the cat? Why? Because this whole story didn't make any sense to me. Trump supporters being racist, JD Vance being an unlikable attention-seeking asshole, it doesn't add up. And it's pretty clear to me what happened.

Miss Sassy is a talking cat who has gone girled herself and blamed it on the Haitians. Okay. And why would she do all that? Because she's a cat, okay? And cats love drama. And when I called her out on it, she started crying and saying that she hasn't been herself

since she was kidnapped by Venezuelans who tried to give her gender reassignment surgery. And when I said, I said, that's bullshit and you know that's bullshit, Sassy. She did this. Okay, okay, okay. I can't believe a house cat brought a whole state

into an anti-immigrant frenzy. Ms. Sassy is not a house cat. She's a diabolical slut. But hold on. I've just received some breaking news, though. Oh, my God. Okay. So, Miss Sassy has been kidnapped by ISIS. They say they're going to convert her to Islam

unless Trump wins the election. Oh, my God. Wait, wait, wait. Who wrote that report? You know, now that I'm looking at it, it does look like Miss Sassy's handwriting. Okay, okay. So... Sassy!

All right, does anybody have a spray bottle with acid in it? Okay, okay, I'll look for one. Troy Wada, everybody. What? When we come back, Lewis Black can see us, so don't go away. Go. Go.

Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. As a kid growing up in Chicago, there was one horror movie I was too scared to watch. It was called Candyman.

The scary cult classic was set in the Chicago housing project. It was about this supernatural killer who would attack his victims if they said his name five times into a bathroom mirror. Now we all know chanting a name won't make a killer magically appear. But did you know that the movie Candyman was partly inspired by an actual murder? I was struck by both how spooky it was,

but also how outrageous it was. We're gonna talk to the people who were there, and we're also going to uncover the larger story. My architect was shocked when he saw how this was created. Literally shocked. And we'll look at what the story tells us about injustice in America. If you really believed in tough on crime,

then you wouldn't make it easy to crawl into medicine cabinets and kill our women. Listen to Candyman, the true story behind the bathroom mirror murder, early and ad free, starting September 26th with a 48 hours plus subscription on Apple Podcasts. Lewis Black catches it for a segment we call Back in Black. -♪ Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop to stay drunk from April to November just to get through it, which is two weeks longer than I'm normally drunk. But this election sucks extra ass because it might have huge consequences for our country.

And it all comes down to turning out one crucial voting block. Young people. Sticky, disgusting young people. Sticky, disgusting young people. Now it used to be that all you needed to turn out young voters was a beloved musing star threatening to kill people. God, that was fun wasn't it? Can you believe Pete Diddy turned out to be an alleged sexual abuser? And here I thought he was just a harmless murderer. But these days, if candidates want to reach young people, there's really only one way, social media influencers.

From TikTok to Instagram, online platforms are becoming a key tool for political campaigns. A lot of young people, not just political news, but a lot of people use YouTube and TikTok. Social media influencers descending on the Republican and Democratic National Conventions. Both parties officially inviting and credentialing hundreds of content creators to help draw eyeballs to their platforms and candidates. This is what it's come to. Our election rests with the same people trying to sell you diarrhea-infused beauty cream.

And if you're unfamiliar with influencer culture, here's a quick peek. Move over, Fred Astaire. Captain Frito-Lay is in the building. In the old days, doing a karate kick at 7-Eleven didn't make you a millionaire. It made you a meth head in Florida. But if the campaigns are focused on courting these influencers, surely you'd think they must be getting some primo content in return. Oh, I got dick down at the DNC.

Dick down at the DNC. Yeah, yeah. Thank you for having us. Thank you guys. It's been a real pleasure. Theater kids are losing their virginity at the DNC? Well, there's hope for you yet, Cory Booker. By the way, if anyone got dicked down at the DNC, it's Joe Biden. But don't worry, Democrats, there are dipshit TikToks for

conservatives, too. Voting Donald Trump, baby. Whoa, what the f*** was that? That video makes me pro-gun just so I can deep throat one in the bathtub. And look, I appreciate shitty content just as much as the next person. I watch both seasons of MILF Manor and the behind the scenes featurettes. That doesn't mean I'm going to let the MILFs tell me who to vote for. But as TikTok stars gain political clout, both camps are now planning entire campaign

stops around meeting them, like when Trump and Logan Paul had this meeting of the minds. And where are we? Wow. That's the first time I've ever seen Donald Trump genuinely laugh. And all it took was the hilarity of staring down a roided up boy. Then there's Kamala's VP Tim Walz who went on the TikTok show Subway Takes to have an earth shaking debate about gutters. So what's your take?

My take is the most neglected part of home ownership is the gutters. It's personal for me. 100% agree. I've had problems with gutters before. You get your basement wet, you get ice dams, cause a lot of problems. Where do you buy gutters? The down spots I bought at Menards. Save big money at Menards.

Oh good, a video for no one. Candidates skip entire states during the campaign, but Subway takes gets a sit down interview? He wasn't even on the subway. I didn't see a single rat fist fighting a baby. Also quick tip for Tim Walves. Young people don't give a shit about gutters because they don't own homes. And they never will.

So we know what the candidates are getting out of this. Civic excitement, higher voter turnout, and free gutters from menards. But what about the political influencers? What's in it for them? 23-year-old Awasane made a name for herself, dispensing beauty tips on TikTok. Awasane says she was hired by Protect Our Care,

a progressive advocacy group. What's your rate? So a video just for a creator in my size, an average, can go from $3,000 to $10,000 depending and upwards. $10,000? And all you have to do is sacrifice your dignity. Time to get paid. Hey, guys. It's Louis B.

I'm an influencer now. I got dick down at the RNC. I got dick down at the DNC. Now pay up, assholes! Right, so, I'm Louis B. the DNC. Now pay up, assholes. Ronnie, shoot me. All right. Thank you, Louis. Louis Black, everybody. When we come back, Phil and Liv will be joining me on the guys. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. The scary cult classic was set in the Chicago housing project. It was about this supernatural killer who would attack his victims if they said his name five times into a bathroom mirror.

Listen to Candyman, the true story behind the bathroom mirror murder. Early and ad-free starting September 26th with a 48 hours plus subscription on Apple podcasts. Welcome back to The Daily Show. My guest tonight is the co-founder and creative director of the fashion brand 3.1 Philip Lim.

Please welcome my good friend, Philip Lim! Thank you. Thank you. Thanks for coming on the show. Thank you for having me. Fashion legend, man. You've done it all. You've dressed people for Met Gala. You've been on the in-crowd in New York City fashion for like 20 years now. Right? Is it Devil's West Prada every single day? Yes, you could say that. It is that the mystery, the intrigue, fashion is so much more than just fashion.

It's so much more than just fashion. It's so much more than just fashion. Right, like is it Devil's West Prada every single day? Yes, you could say that. It is that the mystery, the intrigue, fashion is the place where anything's possible, but also you never know what's around the corner. Right, and how do you, for 20 years now, how do you think you stay on the cutting edge of culture? I feel like it's one of your superpowers.

Yeah, I think the only way to do it is to be part of culture. To be humble, to stay curious, and also to fight like hell, to maintain the grit and the honesty and the tenacity to stay in fashion. Right, but where do you get your influences from? For 20 years now, you've always been, where do you go to get inspiration for stuff? I I mean when we started the brand you know it was like we made clothes for ourselves and I remain the consumer too so it's really a

dialogue of what I would like to wear what the women around me would like to wear my friends like to wear and it's like you know you were part of this world we're part of society I tend to love to be part of pop culture, so I kind of just roll with it. And you have to embrace the change while also remaining true to yourself. Right, and this 20 years now in American fashion, or more longer really, I mean 20 years is the brand,

but you've been in fashion for way longer than that. Have we gotten trashier? Yes, we've gotten trashier. Oh, that's, some guy almost applauded that. Yeah. It's true. I mean, now you wear- This isn't just a fashion dip.

We have definitely, you've been seeing a trend of we are trashier now. It's a race to show less, basically. So what you wear on the inside, it's on the outside now. So it really is bold and I commend the bravado of some of the looks I see, but hey, we roll with it, right? It's fashion. Right.

And you, man, I mean, you're not, you born in Thailand, was in Cambodia for a bit, then you came to America as a child. Yes. And you grew up in California. Yes. So no formal fashion child. Yes. And you grew up in California. Yes. So no formal fashion training. No.

You don't go to fashion school? No. I have a degree in home economics. And I'm a business school dropout, a disappointment to my immigrant parents. And somehow I found my way and became fashion. So do you think fashion? Oh, yeah.

You can applaud. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.. So do you think fashion, oh yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So what do you think about fashion school then, in that case? You know what I mean? If you are talking to a kid who was maybe trying to become

a fashion person. Listen, I think education is very important as a foundation for whatever you want to do. That's because what you study doesn't mean that you'll end up there. I think if you start with an education, but the most valuable advice I could give is on the ground training internship Learning off someone else's dime basically, so that's what happened. Yeah I my first internship turned into my first job in fashion and

25 30 years later. I'm still here and 25, 30 years later, I'm still here. Yeah. Yeah. No, but don't... No, that's cool, but don't gloss over that. Like, how did you get the first internship? So you're working at Barneys? Okay, I was working at Barneys, New York.

Barneys were in that time, and I was living in Southern California, and I dialed 411 because I was unpacking a new shipment. And I'm like, okay, I'm gonna dial 411 because I needed to get that degree to graduate, to get that certificate, to show my immigrant parents that I'm somebody, you know? And so I dialed 411, got the designer,

the creative director's assistant on the phone. I was like, okay, hey, listen, I'm looking for an internship. Are you guys taking free work, free labor basically? I'm so sorry, what's 411? Information. Wait, what is 411? Who can help Ronnie answer what 411 is?

No, these guys don't know either, okay? No, no, I see my age in the audience. What's for what? You mean information. So that's public service information. Yeah. You press buttons on the phone. That did did did like that. That's crazy talk. And then what happened? And then what? Charlie Chaplin answered? Yeah. Close enough. Charlie Chaplin's assistant answered and brought me in. I showed some Polaroids. She's like, okay, when can you start?

Started right away. Didn't tell my parents yet that I had just left, dropped out of business school. Two weeks into the internship, they brought me downstairs. I'm like, oh, oh, shit. Oh, wait, can we say shit? You can say shit, yeah. We say shit all the time. We said way worse in was like, Oh, shit. Oh, wait, can we say shit here? You can say shit, yeah. We say shit all the time. We said way worse in Act 1.

Oh, shit. Oh, f***, basically. I'm gonna get... I'm gonna get let go. It's like I'm not even good enough for free labor, basically. And she's like, do you... So-and-so wants you to stay on. Will you stay on as a full-time job?

Instantly, I was like, yes, I will. But I had to also figure out how to convince my professors at the college to let me graduate with a degree without going back to school. And you... I did it. Oh, you figured it out? Yeah.

I did it. That's for real. And I mean, that's... I think one thing I really like about you, I mean, getting to know you as a friend personally, it's been one, I think you have many superpowers. Thank you. I think one of your real superpowers, I find, is that you're a very down-to-the-guy.

Yeah. Like, we'll go for lunch in Chinatown in Manhattan, and you'll insist on going to the mom and pop store not the fancy places and and and I guess like yeah like what how do you how have you managed to stay in that devil's devil wears Prada world and still be like hey you know I'm just gonna go wear a trench coat and go yeah this you know I credit that to my parents. I credit that to the values instilled early on. I credit it to just understanding that, you know, what I get to do, which is, like, to dream today

and go to work tomorrow and turn it into a reality. That's a beautiful thing, and I think that is something that I am so grateful for. But it comes from my immigrant parents they taught us early on that You're kind of my introductions in the fashion world so is everyone fashion like this Not as down-to-earth as this it you know like it with everything there's a spectrum a range right Maybe I'm like if we say 1 to 10 and 10 is like completely fabulous, and 1 is like nothing.

Yeah, I would say maybe I'm 7 or 8. Right. Well, your other really cool superpower, which I really admire from you is seeing you at work. And I think it's not something a lot of people have a chance to see, a fashion designer actually working, showing his creativity. So if you don't mind, would you mind kind of annotating some of your fashion for everyone in the crowd and at home?

Is that okay if you come in? Right, because you're there. So. All right. So, wow. Okay. This is an iPad. Yeah, I feel very vulnerable right now.

Oh yeah, so we'd just like to see your thoughts on some of these designs. So this is your design. Okay, okay. We'd just like to get your ideas on the inspiration. Can you tell us what's going on here? Sure. So this look, I'm originally from California, surf culture, skate culture.

And the 20th anniversary was a dedication to joy. Meaning like in these tumultuous times, in these complicated times, I needed to find my way back to the purpose of why I'm a fashion designer and the power that has to bring joy onto everybody. So what you're looking at here is the co-collection is kind of like the journey of my California upbringing all the way to my existence in New York City. So what you're looking at here is soap culture, but make it chic. Ha ha ha!

Make it fashion. And what this beautiful young lady has on is this hair Eyelash fringe top like a t-shirt long sleeve t-shirts that you know surfers wear to cover their skin There is drawn. Okay Try to make this happen technology. You have to buy an iPad. So all this is like Yeah, eyelash lace here and And then she's wearing our cargo shorts, cargo shorts that made of lace and poplin.

And then you see the peekaboo lingerie in that black spot to kind of have a flirtatious moment. She's also wearing patchery pearls around her anklet, kind of to signify that surfer girl at heart. Right. Yeah, so that's kind of the look. that surfer girl at heart. Right. Yeah, so that's kind of the look. She's DTF, yeah.

Yeah. She's DTF. DTS, down to surf. Down to surf. Yeah. Do you want to circle her head? Yeah, let's circle the head. Oh, yeah.

These amazing sunglasses are by a Friends brand, Port Tanger. So cool. That's cool. yeah, super cool. And we got another one. Oh. We're not done yet. There's more. So can you tell us a bit about... This is really fun, guys.

Can you tell us more about this look? Okay. So this is kind of related to you, too. Sure. She's Asian. She's Asian. But you do jiu-jitsu, right? Yes. So let's start with She's Asian. But you do Jiu-Jitsu, right? Yes. So let's start with the trousers then.

These are Jiu-Jitsu and judo trousers. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, wow. You got to zip up the back here, so it's like for that sexy moment. Sure, I do that too in Jiu-Jitsu. DTJ.

DTJ, down to Jiu-Jitsu. Yeah. And the top is a it's a lace top, but with football influences. So we took a football jersey. You see the yoke right here, the striped jersey, the striped yoke. And when, it's hard to see here,

but there's arm bands here. And then we put boning around the arm band to push out the sleeves. So it's really like this feminine idea of a football jersey influence with jujitsu pants. Oh wow, very sporty. Random, right? But that's how fashion works.

That's how creativity works. That's how it's like, you take all these abstract elements and you try to put it in, you know, hot looking clothes. It also helps if the person is super hot as well, I guess. So how much would this cost? This would be like. Let's do.

Can you write the price next to it? OK, so let's do the prices. So these trousers would be like $4.35, guesstimates, right? This top, because it's so special, it's a special corded lace, would be another like $4. 450. Okay, can you circle her face just so we can see? Yeah and then the face is priceless. We've never seen an iPad before, pretty excited about this technology. Just bear with us right now. So one thing you're also great at, sometimes people don't know this,

but I come to you for fashion advice. And you're like, you're like, make sure my cuts are okay. You're like my, I'm so grateful to have you as a stylist. But I love your insights into sometimes what's wrong with what I'm wearing. So if you don't mind, could you just critique this? I just want to get your thoughts on this. Oh, okay.

If you don't mind, could you just tell us what's wrong with this fit? Okay. Okay. Okay. It's not political. Guys, this is purely aesthetic critique. Yeah.

Right? If like, if he were to hire me to do this, I would have to point things out because we should tell the truth, no? Yeah. We should tell the truth. Okay. So let's start with a positive note. It is a suit.

So I see here two main big concept issues. One, the coloring is wrong for him. What, his face or the clothes? I think a combination of things, right? So if I were to advise him, I'd say go darker on the Navy so he feels a bit more. Like a black person, yeah. Let's start with the top here, the shoulder pads.

You can draw, you can draw. Let's start here, like the shoulder pads. He needs to have a bit more, let's say, authority there. It seems like integrity. Structural integrity. Structural integrity and the quality is lacking from the top. Yeah. Okay.

Okay. Um, okay. Okay. Okay. Also, if you notice too, he looks like an elder, but in a child's proportion. So it's like, so it almost feels like a blunder of proportions.

Right. Right. Right? But not in a good way. It needs to be readjusted and like brought down to reality here. Okay. So what I would do is let's start with, we started with a stronger shoulder pad that had higher quality. He should also find a new dry cleaner.

Yeah. Because there's a quality issue here with the pressing. So let's start with the lapel. The lapel is too skinny for his body frame, like the broadness. I would ask him to. For someone that wide, you would have a broader lapel. What you want to do is cover the surface area.

So if you have more of a surface area, you have to reproportion all the details to make it look kind of snatched, right? So already with the line that we would broaden the lapel, he already is looking more svelte, right? And then from there, if we come down here, the tie is too long. So it's drawing the attention to the wrong section

of this gentleman, basically. Right? But how else would you see that part of his body if the tie wasn't... So I would go in with a carving knife, a tailor's knife, and I would start to carve out the top of his rib cage a bit. Because you know, like the rib cage, everyone has good rib cages basically, right? And I would just sharpen that part and leave the rest kind of intrigue and mystery. Okay. Yeah. So you bring that in a bit.

Yeah. So basically what we're doing is we're trying to give him more of a V. Basically, this guy, he needs more of a V. He needs more quality. There's a lack of integrity in this suit and therefore in the character. Uh huh. Um. Yeah, yeah. Hey. Listen, you are what you wear, right? And that's the power of fashion and clothes. Like you look sharp. Oh, thank you so much.

Yeah. Thank you so much. And so we believe you. Oh, thank you so much. Well, you, we should. Yeah. I you so much. Well, you showed it. Yeah. I would sharpen everything. I would square that off.

And I would repress the pants, basically. And also, he has long arms. I would extend the sleeves slightly, because it makes him look a bit juvenile when it's too short. Okay. The sleeves. Yeah. I'm sure that's the problem.

Yeah. Right. And the last thing I want to do is, could you just... Oh, my God. This is a photo of a certain young person who... Ronnie, you look the same, basically. I look the same? Still going to work?

So, basically, guys, this look is a future classic, basically. He did not know that he would be this future present icon Today I mean look at this this could be a Nike campaign like the matching track outfit that V right there the Athletic socks that's all the rage right now. Yeah socks outside the pants. Yeah way to go like LeBron You look like you could walk walking down the athlete's hallway. Yeah, this is walking down the mean streets of Manchester, New Hampshire.

Okay, I got nothing to say except, good job, mom. No notes. Good job, mom. Yeah. Thanks a lot. Can you give me a star on that, then? Yeah. So superstar, superstar, superstar, superstar. Thank you, thank you. And this is all money. Thank you.

Thank you, mom. Thank you, mom. And thank you, Phil Alem. Hey, everybody, the legendary Phil Alem, everyone. We're gonna take a quick break, but we'll be right back after this. As a kid growing up in Chicago, there was one horror movie I was too scared to watch. It was called Candyman.

The scary cult classic was set in the Chicago housing project. It was about this supernatural killer who would attack his victims if they said his name five times into a bathroom mirror. Candyman. Candyman? Now we all know chanting a name won't make a killer magically appear. But did you know that the movie Candyman was partly inspired by an actual murder? I was struck by both how spooky it was, but also how outrageous it was.

We're gonna talk to the people who were there, and we're also going to uncover the larger story. My architect was shocked when he saw how this was created. Literally shocked. And we'll look at what the story tells us about injustice in America. If you really believed in tough on crime, then you wouldn't make it easy

to crawl into medicine cabinets and kill our women. Listen to Candyman, the true story behind the bathroom mirror murder, starting October 3rd, wherever you get your podcasts.
