Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of tran
Speaker 1: We Back tran We back tran We back of Chance
Speaker 1: the Rapper. Good ass intro from Acid Rap is I
Speaker 1: believe what my brain was quoting when it spit it
Speaker 1: back out at me. Come Acid Rap. I haven't listened
Speaker 1: to that in a long time, but as the Rapp
Speaker 1: was a great a great time. What a mixtape trend.
Speaker 1: We back Brian. I am Jack. That is super producer
Speaker 1: Brian Jeffrey.
Speaker 2: Hello, everybody, It's me Brian the Editor.
Speaker 1: And this is a character who will be playing.
Speaker 2: Yes, I am now hold on, hold on, Jack, hold on?
Speaker 2: Can I finish? Can I finish?
Speaker 1: Oh? Kay? Yeah? Yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: I am rebranding myself as Brian the Editor. Okay, I
Speaker 3: probably respond damn.
Speaker 1: Serious energy, right, a serious branding. Jay.
Speaker 2: Hey, it's twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's twenty twenty four, folks, I don't like it.
Speaker 1: I'd like to return it for one twenty twenty one, please,
Speaker 1: or just anything, just one nineteen eighty nine. Could I
Speaker 1: get a nineteen eighty nine in exchange for this twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four.
Speaker 3: I'm feeling like a two thousand and six, maybe because
Speaker 3: you still you still get enough of the internet. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you can steal pirate movies, it just takes a lot longer.
Speaker 1: Not me. I wouldn't steal a car, and I wouldn't
Speaker 1: steal a movie. What a time to be alive, folks.
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty four can only get better from here, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, it can't be worse. Remember when that was
Speaker 1: the thing that we all thought.
Speaker 3: Honestly, Jack, I didn't think I would live this long.
Speaker 3: So I'm just hey, I'm just glad to be here.
Speaker 1: Guys, Hey, me too. I'm glad to be here for
Speaker 1: the Epstein document drop. So is anyone who's come within
Speaker 1: ten feet of an electronic device this week is probably aware.
Speaker 1: Hundreds of pages of legal documents pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein
Speaker 1: were unsealed, resulting in an online frenzy that caused the
Speaker 1: court website hosting the docs to crash within minutes.
Speaker 3: Which, may, I add, if you've ever been on a
Speaker 3: government website, that's really not much of a statement, continued.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they crash, all they not great. So people were
Speaker 1: expecting some bombshells about high profile associates, but it was
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff that I think we already knew.
Speaker 1: People seem surprised that Stephen Hawking was on there, but
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I knew that already, that he was
Speaker 1: like a known associate of Epstein, And there's definitely been
Speaker 1: some stories about Stephen Hawking being a little bit of
Speaker 1: a creep proof in the past, So you're not gonna
Speaker 1: believe this one. Bill Clinton was mentioned over fifty times,
Speaker 1: but not accused of any crimes, although the documents do
Speaker 1: reference one of Epstein's accusers alleged that Epstein wants remarked
Speaker 1: that Clinton likes him young, which doesn't sound good. Would
Speaker 1: make sense given what we know about him being president
Speaker 1: to most famously have had an affair with a fucking
Speaker 1: relative child in the Oval office. Donald Trump also mentioned,
Speaker 1: but it's not like it's just The most damning story
Speaker 1: involves Epstein suggesting that they call up Trump during a
Speaker 1: stop in Atlantic City, so Trump supporters are like, we won, baby,
Speaker 1: he wasn't in there that much, which is I mean,
Speaker 1: kind of I see where they're coming from. It's not
Speaker 1: a little weird that they're considering this a win since
Speaker 1: the victim, the alleged victim in this case, whose lossuit
Speaker 1: led to all of these documents in the first place,
Speaker 1: was literally recruited for Epstein while working as a fifteen
Speaker 1: year old cow girl at mar A Lago, So he's
Speaker 1: not unimplicated.
Speaker 2: I would say, I just I just wonder. My whole
Speaker 2: thing with this is how for how long are they.
Speaker 3: Gonna like like wheel out these little drips and drabs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it feels like a distraction at this point.
Speaker 3: Anytime they wheel out a batch of shit you already knew, yeah,
Speaker 3: more or less, and just sort of they're just throwing
Speaker 3: out names like all bunched together. Some of these people
Speaker 3: are sex predators. Some of these people are just people
Speaker 3: that he knew because he knew a lot of people.
Speaker 1: That was kind of his job.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's it's frustrated to see this just wheeled out.
Speaker 3: Anytime they need a fucking headline or I don't know
Speaker 3: what the purpose is because they're not gonna like do
Speaker 3: anything about this. They've had ample time to prosecute anybody
Speaker 3: who's implicated in this, and they have it.
Speaker 2: So like, what is the purpose of this is?
Speaker 1: I mean question, there's a lot of document Like I
Speaker 1: believe that at least part of his strategy for accruing
Speaker 1: power in the world was blackmailing people, powerful people, and
Speaker 1: I think there's probably like I wouldn't be shocked if
Speaker 1: there is eventually something there and like there is new
Speaker 1: like details that I wasn't aware, Like he offered a
Speaker 1: cash reward to prove that Stephen Hawking wasn't at an
Speaker 1: underage orgy, as one lawsuit alleged.
Speaker 3: And but I mean, here's my issue is that it
Speaker 3: seems to amount to more like documentary and people sort
Speaker 3: of profiting off of it. Yeah, actual action. There's been
Speaker 3: ample time. There's been enough time for a slew of
Speaker 3: documentaries to come out, but no cases. Right, It's just salacious.
Speaker 3: That's the word I'm looking for. It's just salacious.
Speaker 1: I will say, I'm not above it. It got my ass.
Speaker 1: David Copperfield did magic tricks at a dinner party with
Speaker 1: Epstein and was asking people he did you observe David
Speaker 1: Copperfield to be a friend of Jeffrey Epstein's. McCauley asked,
Speaker 1: to which the alleged victims said yes. Did Copperfield ever
Speaker 1: discuss Jeffrey's involvement with young girls with you? The lawyer
Speaker 1: then asked. He questioned me if I was aware that
Speaker 1: girls were getting paid to find to other girls, which
Speaker 1: is like suggest that David Copperfield was either like very
Speaker 1: aware of what was going on and still just like
Speaker 1: hanging out, or he was like conducting his own like
Speaker 1: magic guy investigation into into what was happening.
Speaker 2: You never know what those magicians are up to.
Speaker 3: It could be just true, It could be just a
Speaker 3: long time like like something out of the prestige.
Speaker 1: Yes. Dershwit, though, you know, previously claimed that the documents
Speaker 1: would prove that he did nothing wrong. And uh, you know,
Speaker 1: he said he wants every last document and piece of
Speaker 1: paper relating to his pedophile, to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein,
Speaker 1: to be publicly released, asserting that it will prove that
Speaker 1: he did nothing wrong. And then he the documents very
Speaker 1: clearly state that he allegedly raped underage girls and was
Speaker 1: an eyewitness to sexual abuse of many miners by Epstein
Speaker 1: and several of Epstein's co conspirators. And in light of
Speaker 1: this news, Dershwitz defended himself by blaming feminism and hamas
Speaker 1: and that that like not a joke, that's literally He
Speaker 1: went on a Fox News show and like was interviewed
Speaker 1: and he was like I understand that all the feminist
Speaker 1: groups and the radicals who think this is the worst
Speaker 1: thing in the world that anybody ever had any contact
Speaker 1: with Jeffrey Epstein. That's not what people are mad about.
Speaker 1: Where are all those radical feminists when it comes to
Speaker 1: the Hamas rapes so killing it? Uh? Dershwitz, dersho Wits.
Speaker 2: I mean, it just proves, you know, you don't have
Speaker 2: to be smart to be a lawyer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to be smart in one very specific way.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh, what else happened over the break? Should we just
Speaker 1: end it there? Uh? Now, let's let's take a quick break.
Speaker 1: We'll come back. We'll go through some other stories that
Speaker 1: you missed. If you had your head buried under a
Speaker 1: pillow like we did during the break, will be right
Speaker 1: back and we're back. And Donald Trump got kicked off
Speaker 1: the main ballot too. I think he had been kicked
Speaker 1: off the Colorado ballot ye before we took our break,
Speaker 1: before we took our leave of you, good listener. He
Speaker 1: so also off of may and he's challenging that with
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. Stands accused of receiving like millions of
Speaker 1: dollars of payments from foreign governments while he was president
Speaker 1: and is probably going to win the presidency like that that,
Speaker 1: like that. As more news piles up, it seems like
Speaker 1: people who pay attention to this these sorts of pulling
Speaker 1: things are like and yeah, man, he's like like that,
Speaker 1: it's not out looking good for Biden. He's probably gonna win,
Speaker 1: that's the thing. Right.
Speaker 3: Any state that would take him off the ballot was
Speaker 3: already yeah, it was.
Speaker 2: It was already a blue state, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So that's wild that that's going to happen
Speaker 1: fairly soon. There's a controversy over Disney Day Drinkers Club
Speaker 1: where they're mad that they got rid of a mascot
Speaker 1: called Benny. The thing from this story that is news
Speaker 1: to me is just that there's a club of people
Speaker 1: of adults who day drink all day at Epcot in Florida,
Speaker 1: and they're like, leave our leave our little trash can alone,
Speaker 1: leave it, leave it where we drink on a trash can.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's something there's something alarmed, like alarming and sad
Speaker 3: about that that I don't care to articulate or elaborate on.
Speaker 2: But there's just there's something spooky about.
Speaker 1: That to me. Yeah, spookily and very specifically American. A
Speaker 1: thirteen year old became the first human to beat Tetris. Recently,
Speaker 1: an American thirteen year old named Willis Gibson recently beat
Speaker 1: the original Tetris like kind of there's not like a
Speaker 1: victory screen where they're like, congratulations, you beat Tetris. But
Speaker 1: the game is designed to go on forever. But he
Speaker 1: played until his high score caused the game's memory banks
Speaker 1: to overload and crash, which I'll give him. I'll give
Speaker 1: him the win. That's a that he beat the game.
Speaker 1: Like he beat his head so hard. Yeah, yeah, beat
Speaker 1: it so hard that like the game didn't even know
Speaker 1: what to do with itself. So that's pretty impressive.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 3: I don't want to think about how much time that took,
Speaker 3: but I am I am so glad Yeah, for humankind
Speaker 3: that this was done by a thirteen year old in
Speaker 3: any time period and not a grown ass man.
Speaker 1: Well, you lose your like little fast twitchies as you
Speaker 1: get older, so you needed to be a young Like
Speaker 1: they were talking about the way that he was doing it,
Speaker 1: like there there's like a controlling method called like rolling,
Speaker 1: and like you have to have fingers on like one side,
Speaker 1: like on both sides of the controller to like get
Speaker 1: the thing moving fast enough basically because once once, the
Speaker 1: things just like start appearing in a split second, like
Speaker 1: you have no no chance to like control or like
Speaker 1: think about it. It's just immediate. Like the speed with
Speaker 1: which the message is going from your brain to your
Speaker 1: fingertips is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't have time to like process anything. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I've seen videos of people like just leaving their body
Speaker 3: playing Tetris. Yeah, but I never what's the highest level
Speaker 3: you made it?
Speaker 1: Oh? I beat it? Actually, That's why I was so
Speaker 1: surprised to see this story because I beat it myself
Speaker 1: on my game boy. Yeah, yeah, I was. I didn't
Speaker 1: make a big deal about it, but I'm, you know,
Speaker 1: as people know, a tremendous gamer.
Speaker 2: The switch God.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Switch God. Jacob Bryant, No, I don't, I don't remember.
Speaker 1: I do remember. Like this story gives me anxiety just
Speaker 1: thinking about what he sees when he closes his eyes
Speaker 1: at night after doing this, because Tetris is the Tetris
Speaker 1: and skiing are the two things, and being on a
Speaker 1: boat those are like the three things that like fuck
Speaker 1: with my perception so much that hours later, when it
Speaker 1: was like I was going to sleep. I couldn't a jump.
Speaker 1: It was just like everything was Tetris in my brain.
Speaker 3: You know what's funny is that there's I think it's
Speaker 3: called Tetris Connect. There's a new Tetris out and I
Speaker 3: play it in VR and it's like this immersive experience
Speaker 3: with like music effects and all this stuff. It's very relaxing,
Speaker 3: something I like to play late at night before I
Speaker 3: go to bed, and it's it's it's very cool.
Speaker 1: Does it fuck you up? Though? In the same way?
Speaker 1: Do you? Did you get that like perceptual Like yeah.
Speaker 3: Like when you're locked in it does something to your brain. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Visually you get like you can still see the blocks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like it's nuts, getting like acid flashbacks without
Speaker 1: the acid. I'm very boring. I'm getting flashbacks to when
Speaker 1: I played Tetris for an hour earlier. Today. The young man,
Speaker 1: the child dedicated the achievement to his dad, who died
Speaker 1: in December, which was very sad. And yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: pretty pretty incredible. I didn't know he's.
Speaker 2: Going to get a movie made after him with a
Speaker 2: story like.
Speaker 1: That, story like that gotta be true. But yeah, the
Speaker 1: rolling technique, like we can follow in the in the movie,
Speaker 1: we could follow the evolution of the rolling technique invented
Speaker 1: by Hector Fly. Rodriguez used a similar multi finger role
Speaker 1: to set button mashing records on the Track and Field
Speaker 1: arcade game. That's funny. Do you remember that game on Nintendo?
Speaker 2: I never played Track and Field.
Speaker 3: I remember it, but I was never into the track
Speaker 3: and field type games of the Olympic games or anything.
Speaker 1: It was just like tapping a button really fast is
Speaker 1: all it measured. Anyways, congratulations too, Willis Gibson. There was
Speaker 1: some Wonka Nation at the box office that was supposed
Speaker 1: to be a play on domination, but it didn't really
Speaker 1: translate anyways. Wonka was the top movie. There was some
Speaker 1: boffo bo happening. Uh. It had like a solid first weekend,
Speaker 1: but then it I think just had legs. It feels
Speaker 1: Christmasy for in some ways, like it just felt like
Speaker 1: an appropriate movie to be seeing at Christmas time. I
Speaker 1: feel like.
Speaker 2: People love people love Whimsy, people love musicles.
Speaker 1: Like it was like Whimsy the movie seems to be.
Speaker 2: I was a fan of Whimsy, but like people enjoy it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't hate on that.
Speaker 1: Well, you're an intellectual fuck what its whimsy gonna do
Speaker 1: for you? Aquaman not so baff o bo it sank
Speaker 1: at the box office.
Speaker 2: It better late than never?
Speaker 1: Why oh yeah, because that was supposed to come out
Speaker 1: like three years ago.
Speaker 3: It's something I don't know, it's supposed to come out
Speaker 3: when people still gave a shit about Aquaman. There was
Speaker 3: there was a brief moment that they had there, and
Speaker 3: I guess the pandemic fucked that up.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The Color Purple did really well, Like was this
Speaker 1: the biggest musical Christmas opening since two thousand and nine? Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is I wonder if they're going to start admitting
Speaker 1: that movies or musicals and the ads now that two
Speaker 1: musicals have done well, because as we discussed, like the
Speaker 1: Color Purple trailer like kind of I think there were
Speaker 1: some that admitted they were musicals, but like the main
Speaker 1: one that they put before other movies that I saw
Speaker 1: where they were just like, this is just a different
Speaker 1: movie called The Color Purple or Mean Girls, was like
Speaker 1: they didn't show any singing.
Speaker 2: When I saw the little poster thing, I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: they remade The Color Purple, okay, sure, Like yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: like every other movie from the eighties why not except
Speaker 2: robot jocks. Anyway, boy, here we make robot jocks.
Speaker 1: Let's see pink Stanley. Uh did not know what those
Speaker 1: two words meant together. I thought it was like a
Speaker 1: character from a animated show that I wasn't familiar with.
Speaker 1: But there are Stanley Quencher cups that you can get
Speaker 1: in pink from Starbucks, the exclusively in Starbucks at Target stores,
Speaker 1: and they are the latest, uh you know, consumer good
Speaker 1: to make people act badly to one another. Yeah, Like
Speaker 1: they camp out overnight, you know, build build some community,
Speaker 1: and then once it comes time to actually acquire the
Speaker 1: pink Stanley's, uh, people are acting wild.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Here, here's a here's just a little taste of of
Speaker 3: what it's like out there trying to get a sparkly
Speaker 3: pink cup.
Speaker 1: So these people camped out overnight.
Speaker 2: It's a very long or everybody's in their gym jams.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a longest line and people are just loading
Speaker 3: the fuck up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like dozens of pink Stanley mugs and then uh.
Speaker 2: People jumping over the counter.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so in this one, people at the front
Speaker 1: of the line have gotten you guys there after waiting overnight,
Speaker 1: and then a guy just jumps over over the counter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a it's a mess out here. People really
Speaker 2: like these cups for whatever reason. I guess.
Speaker 3: I guess because everybody is like resellers are just yeah,
Speaker 3: that's the grind. It's just reselling items that have a
Speaker 3: scarcity attached to them.
Speaker 1: People waited in line forever to get. Yeah, that's a bummer,
Speaker 1: but to cheer us all up. Let's check in with
Speaker 1: Dwayne the Rock Johnson, who addressed his in and Out flub.
Speaker 1: I'm sure this is a news story everyone was aware of,
Speaker 1: but he basically said he like did an Instagram post
Speaker 1: where it's like it's cheat day, brother, I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: like so much in and out Burger and this is
Speaker 1: my first ever eating first time ever eating in and out.
Speaker 1: And then people pointed out like he's had videos in
Speaker 1: the past where he's eating in and out or like
Speaker 1: been to in and out and he he he bought
Speaker 1: in and out for somebody. But I just like there's
Speaker 1: this weird thing where like a a type of video,
Speaker 1: like a genre of video that he releases regularly. It's
Speaker 1: kind of like the main thing he's known for is
Speaker 1: like his cheat day videos where he's like, all, ah, man,
Speaker 1: look at this stack of pancakes as big as the
Speaker 1: table that they sit on. Uh, and just so much
Speaker 1: all McDonald like a hey loft of McDonald's French fries.
Speaker 1: Just I'm gonna I'm gonna eat them all so bad.
Speaker 1: I better turn this video off while I eat them. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: like it. He ends the video before he eats them
Speaker 1: so often the.
Speaker 2: Camera is just facing the ceiling.
Speaker 1: Pulls a clean fish skeleton from his mouth. Uh. But
Speaker 1: it I just I think a lot of people have
Speaker 1: long suspected that he's lying about his cheat day meals
Speaker 1: and like not actually eating them just to like seem
Speaker 1: like one of the people. Uh, which is.
Speaker 2: Do you think he actually does have a cheat day?
Speaker 1: Probably, and it probably involves, like I don't think it's
Speaker 1: in and out though ants on a log or something
Speaker 1: like that. You know, it's like, oh no, like you know,
Speaker 1: ants on a log like celery with peanut butter and raisin.
Speaker 2: No, I don't know what that is.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 3: I eat mostly liquid cheese, okay, yeah, and cookies and
Speaker 3: pizza and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Now this is a white person delicacy. Ants
Speaker 1: on a three ingredients, can't fuck it? Up the but yeah,
Speaker 1: it's also very popular with young children. It's an easy
Speaker 1: way to get children to eat vegetables. But yeah, like
Speaker 1: bodybuilders are always like, you know, raisins or junk food.
Speaker 1: So that's that's my nasty little secret I have. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: So I think I think that's probably what his cheat
Speaker 1: day actually looks like, is like, uh, like five raisins
Speaker 1: and he pays his personal trainer to like chew up
Speaker 1: peanuts for.
Speaker 2: Him, feed it to him like a baby bird.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's actually a lot of benefits to him baby
Speaker 1: birding me. Anyways, those are those are the big ones.
Speaker 1: Those are the big stories you missed over the break.
Speaker 2: Or at least the ones we could think of.
Speaker 1: That's we were sitting here being like, something definitely happened.
Speaker 2: Something happened, we know it.
Speaker 1: No, what was that thing? Yeah, I'm sure plenty of
Speaker 1: terrible stuff happened, But these are the ones that we
Speaker 1: talked about today. And we are back tomorrow with a
Speaker 1: whole ass episode of the show. Brian. Where can people
Speaker 1: find you? Follow you all?
