E240: Frederick von Mierers with Tim Gilbert

Hello! This week we're joined by the hilarious comedian Tim Gilbert, who arrived at the studio with delightful and dangerous facial hair. After discussing Love Island, dream vacations and modern slang with Tim, James tells the bizarre story of Frederick von Mierers, a Brooklyn-born male model who believed he was an extraterrestrial reincarnated from the giant star Arcturus, and persuaded New York's most gorgeous models to join his new age cult and live in a compound in South Carolina.
