Matan Gets Heated While Confronting Jeffrey Epstein
50m 43s
Palm Beach Pete, a retired real estate executive and social media influencer, appears in a podcast interview to deny any connection to Jeffrey Epstein, despite their striking physical resemblance. He claims to have a legitimate identity supported by documents like a birth certificate and DNA testing, and insists he has lived a separate life in New York and Palm Beach, raising a family and working in real estate. The host questions the authenticity of the resemblance and the timing of Pete’s sudden internet fame, noting that a viral moment involving a kiss on *The Real Housewives of New York* may have inadvertently linked him to Epstein’s image. Pete defends his actions, stating that he never engaged in blackmail or harmful behavior, and that his social media success is a result of personal charisma and timing, not criminal ties. He rejects allegations of being an undercover agent or having ties to Mossad, dismissing them as baseless. While the conversation touches on conspiracy theories and public perception, Pete maintains that he is not Epstein, is not involved in any criminal activities, and has chosen to embrace a public persona that is playful and harmless. He expresses no guilt and emphasizes that Epstein was a "vile, horrible human being" who committed serious crimes. The exchange highlights a blend of humor, irony, and public skepticism, illustrating how appearance and narrative can create false associations in the digital age. Ultimately, Pete positions himself as a positive, harmless figure in contrast to Epstein’s notoriety, using satire and self-awareness to deflect accusations.
Hello everybody, welcome back to the podcast for today's guest. We have Palm Beach Pete where he's coming. Thanks for coming for today's co-host. We have Mike, welcoming Mike. So if you could just pull the mic close to yourself and then introduce yourself to anybody who might not know you, but I doubt that that's very many. Thanks for having me here, Matan. I'm Palm Beach Pete. Nice to meet everyone. And so, you're not Epstein. No, not Epstein. Palm Beach Pete, he's dead. I'm a better-looking version than him. No, you look identical. I thought you guys are the same guys. I'm not true. No, he's dead. I'm me. What's your plan always to pretend to keep yourself and then reappear a few years later as you're looking like? I wish I was that smart. Would you keep yourself? If I was accused, maybe of what you got accused of, then I might so do it. If I knew that I had the way to tinker myself into culture like you have done today. No, I'm just me. Just happen to look like I'm a little bit. So you've looked like this all your life. I've gotten older over the years. And your job now is kind of being a social media influencer. Do you prefer that over banking and all that other stuff? You know, it's a third career for me, so it's a lot of fun. And I'm just having a blast and it's very interesting meeting guys like you. Like me? Seriously, Matan, you guys are amazing, you're brilliant. What you do, what you're able to create and because everyone's trying to do it, but you've risen to the top and I'm hanging with you guys. So it's a fucking blast. I appreciate it. Do you prefer this over banking and all the blackmail stuff? Or because this is a little calmer, you had more power back then. Imagine setting your makeup than forgetting it's even theirs. Meet new groupie setting mist from Mabelie, New York. Gel to mist technology locks in your look for up to 24 hours, with flexible all day comfy grip. No tightness, no stickiness, no residue. Just plump, dewy hydrated skin that still feels like your skin. Try new groupie setting mist from Mabelie, New York. Maybe it's Mabelie. So you kind of. I like them both. But this is fun because my age, how many guys get to do what I'm doing? Nobody. It's a good point. How old are you now? I don't think Epstein would be 71, and I believe. I think he'd be about 73, 74 I guess. Somewhere around there. See that just seems like a lie. It seems like you're just pulling off a couple years. No. I'm being completely serious. No, he's older for sure. Okay. How much money are you making off Cameo right now and should the money be used to help your victims and their families? I actually give money to charity. I didn't want to be associated with Epstein victims because I would be drawing attention. People thinking I'm Epstein and I'm not. So I give it to. But you are. Okay. And anyhow, I give it to charity that I'm involved with. But why don't you give the money directly to your victims instead of just a generalized charity? Because then it might go to somebody who didn't experience something as bad or as monumental. Well, I'm not him, so I don't have to give it to the victims. We don't have to do this game the whole time. I'm actually honored that you decided this is one of your first interviews. I appreciate that you're. I say it's not that good and you think that I'm him, but I'm not. Sorry. Did you appreciate it? No, I appreciate that you have me here. Well because you're Epstein. No, I'm not. You're almost like unbelievable. Do you really see that much of a resemblance? Seriously. Do you see a resemblance of me and myself? I see who you are, but I'm asking, do you think I really look like I'm. No, I was just giving you an example of the same question. It looks like an identical twin to him. You are him. Do I look like an identical twin to him? I guess technically, if I don't have an identical twin, but if I did, I actually have a twin. I do. I have a twin brother. Have you seen? Gary. Gary? Yeah. All these names are super simple. You know what I mean? Jeffery Pete. Gary. That's how they name people back in the fifties. No. Those were the names. I know a guy had a completely different name, but those are very popular names back in the day. Do you deserve the death penalty? No. Why? Because I haven't done anything wrong. I mean, if you want to say that those things are okay, then that's fine, but. That's funny. So what do you think? I know we don't really do the death penalty now, I think it's been like 10 years, but. It's not relevant because I'm Palm Beach Pete. I'm having a fucking blast doing what I'm doing. I get to meet guys like you, so it's not relevant at all. But meeting guys like me doesn't overdo all of those things. I mean, I don't know which ones you were found guilty of, obviously, you died before. Yeah. We really got to know. He did die. It's terrible. He's terrible that he died. Yeah, it's terrible. I said, "Died." Yeah, you said, "Died." With quotation marks. But also, you said it was terrible. See, you're even sleeping up, but that's like a Freudian right there. He died. It was terrible. You wouldn't say that about somebody that's not yourself, especially if they were like a mass. Well, you're saying that I'm him, and he died, it would be terrible if I died. That's my point. So you are him? No. So then why would it be terrible? I don't want to die. I didn't say you died. I said, "He died." I don't want to. I don't want to. Just the idea of Epstein dying to you whether you're in a bad state. Not a terrible? No, it's terrible. What he did. No, that's not what you said, not about. I understand. You're saying what he did was also terrible? Horrific, horrible, vile human being. He was. And did you ever meet him? I didn't meet him personally, but he was at a party that I attended. No, I doubt that. It is sad, though, that he may have died. That's your lawyer, by the way. Okay, thanks. What's my lawyer's name? You should know that. No, only me. I would never know. I've never met him before. Maybe he's just. I wouldn't hire a lawyer wearing this costume. Why? Because this doesn't look like a lawyer to me. Why? Why not looking like a lawyer? He doesn't look like a lawyer. He has your suit on? No. Not happening. Objection, attorney, client, privilege. She sounds like a lawyer. Yeah, he does. You have been accused of being an undercover agent for Mossad. Yeah. What is your response to these allegations? You know, since I'm Palm Beach Pete in 2005, I went to Israel for the first time to play in an a Jewish competition called the McCobby Games, which I'm sure you're aware of. And my first round opponent actually was the head of the Mossad. You said Joker, you're serious? That's serious. Okay, well, that's not at all what I meant when I said that, but you're. Fucking guy. Fucking piece of shit, Rahmai. Go start, go ahead. No, I. You're about to say something. Counsel is mischaracterizing the evidence. No, I'm not. That's not true at all. He just said that he played him. I couldn't play the head of Mossad. Well, that was my first round opponent. I didn't get to choose my opponent. It's done at a. Well, I meant that you were an undercover agent. I mean, with all of the blackmail that you got on, like, US and other foreign politicians along with celebrities. Palm Beach Pete hasn't been an undercover agent. He's a retired real estate executive. And a banker. No, I was never a banker. How did he get up? How did you get all that money? We're wrong. Why did you get all that money from to buy that house in New York? What house in New York? You know, you don't know what house I'm talking about. You live there for so many years. It's a famous house. I lived on the Upper West Side. In New York. So, you're telling me that this guy, Palm Beach Pete, that you're pretending to be. He's also a guy who lives in New York. Palm Beach Pete lives in Palm Beach. And when he was born in New York. Before I became Palm Beach Pete, I was just Peter, and I lived on the Upper West Side, dude. I don't believe it for a second. That's cool. Okay. Well, I'll just entertain this for a second. You played the head of Mossad, you know, in a tennis match? Moti. What's his name? And how was that experience? Did you beat him? I kicked his ass. What's wrong? We drawn what? My client denies these allegations. What allegations? Counselor. What allegations? Probably the. He doesn't talk. Maybe the allegations that you can beat him? The head of Mossad. That's what the allegations were worth drawing. Okay. Was he a professional in tennis, or he used his Mossad ranking to get to play? I played the Makabi games. It's a Jewish Olympics, which you're aware of. Why would I be aware of that? Because I think you're Jewish, aren't you? I'm not Jewish. I thought you were Jewish. No. What are you? No, I'm German. Okay. I was always German, but now I'm just not Jewish. Gotcha. Anyhow, it's a four year, every four years in Israel, and I played, because I wanted to win gold medals. And where did you visit in Israel? What cities? I only. The games where I were playing were in Tel Aviv. I went to Jerusalem, and that was it. Where did you go in Jerusalem? I went to the wall, you know, the wall, and I went to a restaurant, and I was about it. I didn't have a lot of time, because I was competing and winning all my matches. You know, if you're going to pretend that you're not obscene, you might as well come up with a better lie. I mean, you went to the whaling wall in Jerusalem, to play against the Mossad, none of Mossad. You're not listening. My matches were in Tel Aviv. I had one day off. You had one day off and you spent it going to the wall. And I went to Jerusalem. That sounds even worse. Why? Jesus Christ. Unless this is a whole play, you're trying to seem so bad at lying about it, then it may actually trick people. Maybe. I don't know. It's a little freaky. So are you some sort of demon or the savior of the world? Neither. I'm just pumping peace. Assuming you died, and you came back to life and you didn't just pretend to die. No, I have not died. You died. I have not. Okay. I'm here. [BLANK_AUDIO]
I'm asking and I haven't died But I'm here. I'm Palm Beach. So you pretended. No nothing to pretend Well, I was saying because you said that you never died Correct assuming that you did would you be a demon or the savior of the world or how would it work? Because you'd be wondering who my assuming who I am what You heard me who my savior of the world? You probably know who my who my who my gonna be to save the world or be a demon I'd rather save the world and be a demon That's probably what a demon would say who's trying to trick us could be but I should be a Maybe actually if you're the savior of the world and you're also Epstein and you were the savior this whole time then all of those things you did were actually good And we just don't know it yet because we're not on your level. I'll go back to my statement He was a vile horrible human being he did nothing good Objection, I'm a silly clown You said it not me But why would you say such nasty things about yourself? I Would never say anything nasty about myself I'm sure there are where men. I'm saying don't have to about that heart. I don't hate them Vile human being like a little bitch Epstein that's all I have to tell you what did you even just hide in here because I was talking. Oh, that's okay I said he's a vile horrible human being. Don't say that about yourself Advise my client to answer that question not to answer that question the grounds that may discriminate them Okay, so we'll move on. Thank you counsel. I really appreciate it Do you usually eat that weird brown stuff that comes out of your ass or leave it in that circular bowl filled with water that has a Strange lever that makes it disappear. I'm not answering that question. I'm sorry. Why cuz I like Italian food What the hell would that incriminate him off? That's the one thing this guy's done in his whole life. They wouldn't incriminate him Although it's strange to pull the lever because it's weird that didn't exist naturally. We had to build it Do you agree with me Jeff? Pumped speed or you could call me Peter. Can I call you Jeff? No. Why? Because I'm not him But maybe I'm talking about a different Jeff.

I don't want to answer a ridiculous question. Why not? I get that. That's your prerogative. I'm asking why cuz I were going to level three level one is I don't want to level two is because I don't want to and level three is why don't you want to because it's a stupid Ask question, but why don't you like to answer? No, no pun intended because I'm too smart to answer stupid Ask questions and waste time on stupid ask questions and why can't smart people waste time on stupid ask questions? They know not to answer stupid ask questions because it's a waste of everybody's time because you used to have like billions of dollars So you don't want to waste time to answer questions like that. Is that true? I wish So how much money do you have now? couple of seconds All right, this is I have a are you are you joking with me or I have like you're I have a I have a so clearly Epstein H&M H&M I have a roof over my head and I get to eat and I wear clothes and I Wish I had billions of dollars.

No, I Was born in Manhattan and raised on Long Island. You're born in Brooklyn like Epstein. No, I was born in Manhattan not possible Possible doctors hospital. Where was Epstein born? I?

They're only gonna get a great word about it if they think they're upset about it. That's not a great word I think mentally challenge is better What about a mentally challenged No, you can't put that one in there. But technically it's true. They're mentally challenged, but they're Some people are just mentally challenged But all reasons are mentally challenged. I just keep it. Not all mentally challenged people are But all reasons are mentally challenged. I agree with the first statement That statement I just made. No, the first one. You think there's reasons that are not mentally challenged or just all there? I don't I'm not sure. I think we can be pretty sure. I'm not a psychiatrist. A psychiatrist. I mean you don't have to even Before years old to notice that. That's why three year olds laugh at them when they see them in the grocery store. It's so sad Mattan. I don't like this. They don't even know what they're laughing at them. It's sad for them. It's like a dog They think they're laughing because they're funny. They so have feelings. No, they don't. They do. They do about that of a bird. Okay They just like the attention. I noticed it. I used to run an organization Really? What kind of organizations did you run? We would put way too much food in their mouths and make them swallow it until they throw my goodness They get tummy aches too They do. Yeah, they have the same organs and stuff.

Well, personally, I don't know any of them Yes, you did there's so many photos of it. I know photos of Jeffrey who's dead and was alive But we just agreed that you were Jeff being as long as I'm a man. You wanted to name me Jeff when I said I'm Peter No, we made a deal.

We didn't agree on your Peter We're just like going back and forth and like let's get some real questions Because you're avoiding all of my questions Well, because if you really weren't Jeff, why would you care to answer it? Why would why would there be such an issue with the questions? Well, it's obvious that I'm not him Why is that obvious? Because he died and there's an autopsy about him dead That's probably the least obvious death that is ever happening the history of the world and I know who I am And I have a birth certificate and we have a DNA test coming out and we did a lie detector test And that's just the situation But how do we know that this DNA test is not altered with? We had professionals come and we use the best D&S DNA Technicians and the professionals to an island What they did horrible things and then they have to do what you say. Yeah, I'm from Long Island and I'm from Palm Beach Island And what about your island? What island is that? Ah, what was it called? I don't know what the name of the island is You know, I'm running for mayor. You know, I have a I have an image to upheld
And Palm Beach Island, I want to make a better island. - I don't know if Jeffrey Epstein is the mayor. - No, Palm Beach's Pete for the mayor. - I thought you already owned that island. Why do you have to be the mayor of it? - Palm Beach is a municipality and it's not owned by anybody and I'm running for mayor and we have a great platform. - Yeah, but why would you have to make your island a democracy and then run as mayor on it? That doesn't make any sense. - That's how government works. People get elected every four years. I think it needs to be improved. When the elections are and if they happen on the island that you own, I wish I owned an island. I so wish I owned an island. - Come on, are we still protesting? - If I don't do this to hold into you, you're going to-- - If I own an island? - I wouldn't be here, I'd be on my island. - So what is that? - Until they see this, because of the horrible things you were doing with your bodies. - You're laughing, it's funny to you. What happened on that island? - I liked it. - It's funny, what happened to those children? - I love your questions, even though they're inappropriately and grossly overstated and incorrect. - I know, that's what the lawyer said. - That's why I have such a great lawyer here. - Where's the lawyer here? - Do you have Alzheimer's? How could you forget all of the terribly evil things that you have done? - My mother had Alzheimer's, it's a terrible disease. I hope I don't have it. And I know who I am and I know where I was raised and I know where I live. - Do you live now on Palm Beach? - Because living in New York would be too obvious. - No, I lived in New York for 45 years, I love New York. I had a great career in New York. I raised my family in New York, New York's best city in the world, but I had enough in New York. I moved to Palm Beach. - And where do you live in the summer? - I'm out in the Hamptons, West Hampton Beach. - I'm West Hampton. - About 90 miles east of Manhattan. In what state? - New York State, it's part of New York State. You should have done a better job covering this all up. - Yeah, I should have. - You should have done a better job. Especially if you want to deny it. - Mm-hmm. - Listen, if you're gonna go for the point where you just like you have so many similarities to him, the money he'll just live in his house too. - Back to your own brother, let me ask you this. - Imagine setting your makeup, then for getting, it's even theirs. Meet new grippy setting mist from Mavily New York. Just plump, dewy, hydrated skin. That still feels like your skin. Try new grippy setting mist from Mavily New York. - Maybe it's Mavily. - Question H&M. - Okay. - Assuming. - Real quick though, I have to interrupt you. Don't call me H&M, I wanna go all the way. I'm (beep) - Okay. (beep) - If, I was - All the credit. - If, I was at horrible, vile human being. - I don't know if I'd go that far. - Would I be out there parading myself, doing shows like this, going to different events, you can't walk around like having a cameo, having an Instagram, Facebook, would I do that? If I was him. - Yes. - Do you think the authorities would have arrested me and brought me in for questioning? - Lord, do you think of that question? - You could talk, it's okay, dude. - To my understanding, you kind of run the authorities because of all the blackmail. - What blackmail? - My client invokes a privilege against self-incrimination and will be answering the question. - You will be answering the question. I'm taking the fifth. - No, he said you will and he's a lawyer. - It's okay, I'm not paying him enough. - Well, he actually was appointed by the police. - What was the question, let's see if I want to answer it or not. - Um, I didn't even ask a question. I don't know what the hell this dumbass lawyer's talking about. (both laughing) - Finish what you were saying. You were saying something about how you're Epstein and you loved your island? - No, I was not saying that. I was saying, the guys, the gig is up. I don't have fucking time to do this anymore. I'm Epstein. - Is that what you were just about to say? - No, I wasn't even close to that. I was saying, assuming I was him, but I'm not, 'cause he was a vile horrible human being. - I don't know. - I wouldn't be parading around saying that I'm him. - But can I make your counterpoint? - Can I finish? - Yeah, thanks, sorry. It's unfortunate that I have a slight resemblance to him, but I have nothing to do with him. I had my own life and we made Palm Beach Pete an outgoing fun guy wanting nothing to do with that vile horrible human being. - Can I make a counterpoint? - Sure, of course. - If you were Epstein, which I believe you are. - Yeah, he is. You actually would make an Instagram and pretend to do all these things to trick people because if you just started walking around again as Epstein, one of the most famous people of the last 50 years, then I mean, it would be a huge shocker, but at first you convince people that you're this guy who looks like him, you've gotten away with it completely. - So let me ask you this question. Why haven't I been approached by the authorities? Because you have blackmail on them. I mean, that's a question that you could answer really. But at the end of the day, why wasn't Epstein approached by the end of the day he did Palm Beach Jeff. - He did get caught. He was arrested. - Okay, thanks. - And he did go to jail. And he was in jail with a sweetheart deal from my understanding. So eventually he did get-- - What's your understanding? You were the guy in the court. I mean, what understanding do you have to-- - According to my understanding, like you don't really know what-- - Oh, I heard this from somebody. Yeah, the fucking judge. - I read it. You read multiple newspapers, articles, and magazines that he got a sweetheart deal. And it was like a release program in Palm Beach where he went to jail and he got to go out at night. But he was in jail-- - In Palm Beach? - In Palm Beach? - Yeah, he was. Give me a fucking break. I figured out what you're doing, man. I had the only one smart enough to catch onto what's happening. - What's that? - Okay, so you're telling me you and this guy are within years of age. You look exactly the same. You're both similarly. Not exactly. - Like there's not even one difference, because-- - Do you know that we're different heights and different color eyes? - No, you're not. - Okay, but go ahead. - You have those weird little things in, and height boosters, or maybe height fraud, or I don't know what they're called. (laughing) - I don't know. - And then he went to Palm Beach and then you went to Palm Beach. - It's a popular place. It's a nice place to retire too. I don't know anybody from Palm Beach. - You don't know anyone. How about Donald J. Trump? - Yeah, your body. - Your body, and I don't know him. - We're tight, Donald. We play golf, and when we were playing around the golf, you know what I told him? - You met him. - Oh, many times. We played lots of-- - I can't for part. - We played Pete. - No, our president. We played many rounds of golf, and the last round of golf I played with him, you know what I said to him? - What? - I'm meeting the coolest podcaster named Matan. And he says, "I know Matan." - Yeah. - He knew of you. - Yes. But the internet all day long. - Right. - What do you think about that, that the president knows you? - I don't think that happened. - No, it happened for sure. - But let me ask you a quick question. You're saying all questions, give me slow questions, 'cause I have Alzheimer's. - Okay. - Did you meet Trump as Pete or Jeff? - I met Trump as Palm Beach Pete, his pal. - Eh. - And Guy Palm Beach Pete is my Trump. - And you kept on saying this guy, Matan. I love his content. What are you trying to like, yass me up and everything's like, "Okay, all right, Pete, all right, Pete, you're not Jeff." - I'm so happy. - I'm so happy I'm here with you hanging out. This is fun. - Okay. - I am having a lot of fun. I'm surprised you decided to do this interview. When you know that I was gonna ask you about all the things you have done. - I could handle myself. I'm 71 years old. I've been a lot of hard-edged negotiations. This is not gonna throw me off one eye oatah. - It seemed like you were gonna go to jail forever and then you got a sweetheart deal. So what is this to that? Who got a sweetheart deal? - You. - Who's this disgusted? - Palm Beach Pete got a sweetheart deal? - Jeff Webstein. - Oh, not Jeff. - Can we kill you that? - I like that name. - No, I don't like that. - But wouldn't that be accurate because Jeff lived there too? - It's technically, it was a Palm Beach Jeff. - It's accurate that he did have a residence. His house has been raised and I moved down there after he died. - It's true. - No, it's not. - I call Baloney. Can I say that? I don't know what's the lawyer term. - Baloney? - Malorky. - I call Malorky. - Malorky. Imagine it in an alternate universe. You had joined Cloud Gang and you were Cloudstein and you started dating Tessa Brooks, bro. - I don't know any of those people. - Imagine that had happened. - No, but I don't know who those people that you're referring to. - Cloud Gang, which Rai is gone and phase banks. - I don't know anything about that. - It's Tamaray. - Sorry, I'm not familiar. - Imagine it, you had joined there. - But I can't answer that question if I don't know who I'm answering about. - You can still imagine it. - Imagine what? - Did you had joined Cloud Gang? - Explain who Cloud Gang is and the other person you named. - If you had joined them, you would be Cloudstein. - But who are they? - They're like these famous YouTube group from back in the day. - I don't know. - Imagine if you had joined them and there was also Cloud Beast, Cloudstein and Cloud Beast along with the original members, the original founders. - I don't know them, sorry. - So now not only are they famous, now they have a way more famous. - How far back will the days start? - 10, 20 years ago, some of them. - Really? - So imagine these people who are very famous and have the eye of the young people now have the most powerful or one of the most powerful people in the world behind them in the same group. - Who would that be? - You're Jeffrey Epstein. - I mean, Palm Beach Pete. - You're Palm Beach Pete. - Very powerful and strong enough because of my social media presence. It's amazing and they probably reached out to me because Palm Beach Pete is real. How much would somebody have to legally pay you to change their name back to Jeffrey Epstein? It's a good question. - That was the best question you asked. I would be.
I've never changed my name back, forward, sideways, any direction. - 'Cause you already have not even just a lot of money. - I have full name. - My full name is Paul Power over one. - Peter Bart Seymill. That's me. I have a birth certificate. We have DNA testing. We have a lie detector. I don't think I would take his name on. There has such bad connotation, obviously. - Do you think that his name would be your biggest issue to having a correlation to him? - Or the fact that you have the same face? - Could you imagine having that name? - Jeffrey Epstein? - Like, you have to make a cold call and goes, "Hey, it's Jeffrey Epstein." - Truly, I swear it's "Hey, it's Jeffrey Epstein." - I need to get an appointment. You know, I'm a commercial real estate, and they go like clonk, no way. - Yeah, but I'm out of, I'm funny, that would be. - I wouldn't want any of those names. - You don't want anything to do with him. - Correct, I'm the right. - Jackson, attorney, client, privilege. - Thank you, brother, attorney. - By the way, what'd you get to see it's really smashing? What'd you get to see it seriously? You not gonna tell me? Okay. - You were insulting us suit earlier. - No, I like us suit now. - No, I'm not. - Because he's a smart attorney. - Yeah, yeah. Okay, I got you, I got you, yeah. Okay, why don't you just tell you? - Client, client, lawyer, privilege. - That's what he just said? - No. - Or it's the privilege you don't have to tell me. - Correct. - What metric is used to determine if somebody is important, slash famous enough to go to the island? I, for example, would love to go. - Anyone is welcome on Palm Beach Island. - No, it's an open island. - You have to go over two bridges, the North Bridge and the South Bridge, and bam, you're on Palm Beach Island. - I'm not talking about Palm Beach Island, and I'm not talking about the Hamteens, and I'm not talking about Manhattan. I'm talking about that island, you own, with that square house. - I wish I owned that island. - You wish you owned that island. - I wish I owned that house. - For somebody who's not Epstein. - If I owned, if I owned that island, I wouldn't be here. I'd be in Europe for the summer in St. Trope with some really beautiful women and just living life to the beautiful women, yeah. - I wouldn't say that, they were pretty young. - I don't know, I'm not in St. Trope, I don't have the island, I don't have billions of dollars, and if I did, I wouldn't be hanging here, I'd be in St. Trope having the time of my life. But if you were in St. Trope having the time of your life and somebody snagged a picture of you for you did this, they go, hey, that's Palm Beach Pete. - No, before you did. - I'm known, I'm known, I'm known over now, because the internet has amazing power. - You've been famous for like 30 years. - I've only been doing this for almost three months, that's about it. I was leading a very simple, retired life, Matan, and then a dude filmed me on I-95, referred to me as, he's alive, he's alive, he's alive, he's alive. He's alive, he's alive, he's alive, and my nephew and my marketing and manager guys - You have marketing and manager guys? - Yeah, sure, if you want to use an internet, right, correct. - Oh, that doesn't seem like a bunch of fucking baloney to me. - You know how that works, right? - I don't have a marketing guy or a manager guy, and I've been doing this for years. - I'm calling bullshit on that. - I swear, besides viral flooring, because he's been working with me from the day I started. But he's not a marketing or manager guy. - What if he do for you? - Well, he's kind of, he's not even like a manager really, he's my manager, but he kind of handles everything. - Yeah. - He decides where I live, he decides what I get to eat. - We just want to do this professionally. We wanted to distance ourselves from a really bad human being, have fun with it, and it has blown up and a proportion - You want to add a proportion from Epstein, from that viral, horrible human being. Can I ask you a question? And I'll just, one second, my lawyer's talking to me. (laughing) And I'm gonna, okay, okay, okay, okay. And I'm gonna interact with you, this is if you really are Palm Beach Pete and not Palm Beach Jeff. - Appreciate it. - If you truly are, do you think you have any even slight chance in the world to actually distance yourself from him? - You know, is- - Give you some advice from an onlooker. - Great question. - No way. - So I would say 99% of the time, when people recognize me, they go, "Yo, Palm Beach Pete, we love you. "You're the icon." We think you're great. We love your content. So my, my metric for measuring like who I am are the real people in the street. And what about all the people who see you and then you don't see them, they're running. They're like, "Oh, they shed." I guess I'm saying this, I only experience what I can experience. - That's a good point. You wouldn't see this happen. - Yeah, I wouldn't see that. - But do you sometimes see people very afraid? - No, no. But you know, there are the conspiracists that are out there and they're uneducated and they don't know what the fuck they're talking about. - They're too educated. They don't know what the fuck they're talking about. And you know, they could have their opinion. That's why we live in America. You're entitled to your opinion. - Okay, so let me ask you this. I think I have a gotcha on you right here. And I'll just reveal that it's a gotcha because I think I, I don't know what answer you could present it would disprove this. You've always looked like this. - I look like me, yes, go ahead. - And you're not Epstein. - That's correct. - And you only got famous three months ago, correct? - I mean, that's like implausible that you would have not gone viral before that. - You wanna hear a good one? - Yeah. - Okay, there was a TV show called The Real Housewives of New York, Bravo. Do you know that show? You know the franchise? Well, The Real Housewives? - I've heard of it. - So you're familiar with it. - I've heard the name of the show. I'm not familiar with that show where it's branched. - It's a huge franchise for Bravo. And I was in the background and one of the main housewives gave me a kiss. That was it. And now it's COVID. And Generation Z is watching that episode. And she's my daughter's roommate in college and she goes, "Am I your dad's going viral?" So this person that watched it during COVID, put a banner up. Why is Sonia Morgan kissing Epstein? It went viral for like five minutes and they had to take it down because I'm not him. And they knew that. - But do you understand why that doesn't? - Okay. - And there would be legal issues if they kept that up. - Do you understand why that might not do you prove what I said? - You okay there? - That could have just been Epstein doing it. Or you really? - No, it was me. - When did video filmed of you and the real housewives? - During COVID. - No, no, no, no. - Not when did it go viral. - Sorry, sorry. It was replayed during COVID. - But when it originally happened. - That's a good one. I don't remember exactly. - But when Epstein was alive. - I would say. - If you're not right here. - Yeah, he was alive then. - Okay, so then it was just him and then it went viral and I mean, it was-- - It was me. - I just proved what I just said. - It was me. - You were going around the whole day. - And in a car with your convertible off, looking like the most famous criminal of all times. - And one guy took one guy to finally film you. - Matan, we have pre-pombeach Pete when I was just Peter living in the city. - And then we had Epstein. - Yeah, I don't find a little bit. - And then we had post-pombeach when I became a viral sensation due to the fact that I'm an outgoing, big personality, like to have fun and there happens to be a resemblance. - A resemblance. I mean, even if you aren't him, it's like not even a resemblance. It's like I'm looking at him in the eyes. - You are. - Have you ever met him? - No. - Okay. - Unless I was too little to remember. - Right. - But hopefully not, right? - How old you? - I'm 19. - No, you're only 19? - Yeah. - With all the success, you're amazing. - I appreciate it. But you can't flatter me until-- - I'm that flaring, I'm just telling you the truth. - Oh, dude. - I'm telling you the way it is. You're getting to hang out with pombeach Pete that you were able to find me through my team. - To be fair, I'm way older than who you usually hang out with. - With you style. - That's funny. - I love that. - So maybe I'm actually super unsuccessful by that matter. - No, I know you're successful. - Just by me. - Millions of followers, what you do is incredible and that you've risen to the top of the internet fame game and everyone's trying to get into that arena. And you've done well with it. I really could do this to you. - I appreciate it. - My pleasure. - Who are you going to be for Halloween? - You know, I'm not a big Halloween person, but if I had to be someone, I'd like to come back as Roger Federer. - Why? - He was the best tennis player in the world. He was super chill. Really good looking guy, great style. - You met him? - I met him. He's kind to everyone he has. One of the best statements that I've ever heard. It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice. - I agree with that. I actually played tennis for like five minutes with Federer because when he comes to the US open the week before, he has to do his dog and pony show with all the sponsors and he was sponsored by Netchette, so I got invited and I got to hit with him. Couldn't have been a nice human being. He has two sets of twins. So I said, hey, I'm a twin and I have twins and just enjoy the ride. And the guy was just amazing. - And this was when Epstein was alive. - Yeah. - Did all of these people who were obviously friends with you back then as Epstein? Were they not just like, holy shit, you look exactly like that guy? Or like, I don't understand what was happening. - Well, you have to put it in context. So when I was growing up through college, through my early years living in Manhattan, no one knew who he was until, besides his celebrities, are you hanging out with? - Let me finish. No one knew who he was until about 10, 15 years ago. He was this mysterious financier. No one knew what his story was and that's when he came to the forefront. And then when he did those terrible things and when he got arrested, et cetera, he was front page news. - I don't know what to tell you. I mean, you have not laid enough evidence for me to not believe that you're Epstein. - Okay.
And if I'm wrong, yes sir, then the world we live in is a different one because I'm not We're all entitled to our opinions Well, it's not an opinion you either are or aren't Epstein which has been established that I'm not by who by Epstein No, by me. In your Epstein so by Epstein Epstein as a stopper That's good, that's a really good anyhow. Why do you even continue to deny that you're Epstein? Don't you think enough time has passed anyway and people would forgive you? I can't say I'm somebody that I'm not Okay, I'll just just in order to get you to interact with the question Don't you think enough time has passed and people would forgive him? No, never. Why? Because it's disgusting while you mean being. Why? You shouldn't call him disgusting. Even if you are dead, you look like him He did he prayed on victims. He made victims. They weren't victims before him actually so he didn't pray on victims Then he prayed on young, vulnerable, underage girls and he was a horrific person That's not the only thing he did though. He did some other cool stuff To find cool, but he did Ah, owning an island and having blackmail on everybody in the world And that's cool. Yes. Why is that cool? Determined? Let me think. He was wrong Fucking talking about what are you even reading here? Yeah, that's cool. I would say it's cool. Okay. You don't agree? Sorry, don't Can you relate to somebody who doesn't want to work a normal job and wants to live entirely of social security? Because they're a disgusting cripple who lost their arms and legs fighting in a war Oh, they also lost part of their brain so they don't even know what the fuck is going on anyways I don't think I can relate to that one. Could you feel bad for them? I feel bad for some of that lost their arms But they're fucking lazy. They don't want to work. Hey, why do I have to pay with my taxes to keep this guy running? No, I understand what you're saying, but I worked and I contributed to social security, so I'm entitled to social security just like any other American citizen who created it You're talking about yourself? I'm talking generally speaking I'm not talking about you though. You're entitled to social security because you paid one Billions of dollars in taxes or actually you may not have paid anything No, I was just a normal, you know, working stiff I wish I had Billions, I wish I had an island, I don't I have a great life. Why would you want to have that island? I'm having, it's an asset Would you take it right now if somebody offered it to you? I hire a real estate broker to sell it and take the funds and invest it Okay, uh, two options.

This guy looks relatively normal, right? Who's long neck? Who's long neck? He's a guy with long neck Off Instagram? I don't know, I'm sorry Well anyways, why didn't you collect evidence or blackmail on long neck? Is it because he wasn't important enough or because you thought he would do the work himself?

I wake up in Palm Beach Island And I play tennis, I go out for lunch, I have happy hour, I have dinner, I have good friends And then all of a sudden I have the social media presence and now I'm very busy early in the morning Banging out cameos, greeting people, making content That's my day Okay, well I don't blackmail anyone It doesn't mean you're in long neck, but regardless I have to I think even beings are capable of doing some really bad things You would know You would know better than any And when they're desperate They'll do anything considering the footage you have on them Well anyways, I have to film with long neck now I appreciate you coming out of the sink That's it, you're a good man I'm trying to get a look into your eyes And I'll tell you this, what bro I believe you're Epstein and I still respect you because I don't think you did anything wrong Imagine setting your makeup, then forgetting it's even theirs Meet new grippy setting mist from Mavily New York Gel to mist technology locks in your look for up to 24 hours With flexible all day comfy grip No tightness, no stickiness, no residue Just plump, dewy, hydrated skin That still feels like your skin Try new grippy setting mist from Mavily New York from Maybelline, New York. - Maybe it's Maybelline.

Summary:
Palm Beach Pete, a retired real estate executive and social media influencer, appears in a podcast interview to deny any connection to Jeffrey Epstein, despite their striking physical resemblance. He claims to have a legitimate identity supported by documents like a birth certificate and DNA testing, and insists he has lived a separate life in New York and Palm Beach, raising a family and working in real estate. The host questions the authenticity of the resemblance and the timing of Pete’s sudden internet fame, noting that a viral moment involving a kiss on *The Real Housewives of New York* may have inadvertently linked him to Epstein’s image.
Pete defends his actions, stating that he never engaged in blackmail or harmful behavior, and that his social media success is a result of personal charisma and timing, not criminal ties. He rejects allegations of being an undercover agent or having ties to Mossad, dismissing them as baseless. While the conversation touches on conspiracy theories and public perception, Pete maintains that he is not Epstein, is not involved in any criminal activities, and has chosen to embrace a public persona that is playful and harmless.
He expresses no guilt and emphasizes that Epstein was a "vile, horrible human being" who committed serious crimes. The exchange highlights a blend of humor, irony, and public skepticism, illustrating how appearance and narrative can create false associations in the digital age. Ultimately, Pete positions himself as a positive, harmless figure in contrast to Epstein’s notoriety, using satire and self-awareness to deflect accusations.
