Starting point is 00:02:08 Tune in on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of the Trend Crew's Slam Dunk Fail video. Fuck. Yeah. That guy is a failure. Somehow this got forgotten.
Starting point is 00:02:26 It was like one of those, you know why? It's because we've had so many political shitpost worthy, memeable videos of people that it just got buried in our minds. Yeah, we were talking about it before and everyone's like, I don't think I've seen this. Ted Cruz, you know, starts off one end of an auditorium. Sprints through it like it's it's giving Michael Jordan dunking from the free throw line.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Oh, yeah. Like at first, because like he's just backed up. He's not dribbling. He's about to. He's about to jump. Brian, the editor says sprint. He says you say sprint. I don't know if it can necessarily he like does a fast waddle towards the basket. But with a lot of determination, you guys have to see this. We'll put it in the foot.
Starting point is 00:03:18 We'll put it in the foot. No, it is a little buried. So we check out the footnotes. Yeah, there was a big there was able to able to find it on. Yeah. I Z I smile. We are not responsible for any malware you might encounter this website either, but you gotta see him. The trampoline, his body is like 45 degree angle. Like he's like, and I'm about to launch at the rim,
Starting point is 00:03:48 and it seems like he might do it for like a very short second, and then he just runs out of gravity, you know, like runs out of momentum. And the gravity pulls him. He knows he's cooked midair. Like he's like, bro, you got you don't throw the ball your hand at. Yeah. You don't have mad boosties, sir. Yeah. You don't have zero bunnies. So he literally just, the way he just ditched that thing probably is probably how his constituents feel in Texas, where he just said, Nope. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:18 But there's something about the physics with this, like in the same way, Brian, the editor made a good point. There's a, that job block, a job or ramp block against the Lakers where he just like goes up, blocks it catches like a layup with two hands and then like his body just keeps going up. Yeah. In a way that like doesn't make sense. And it's like, Oh, that shit just like glitched on us. Yeah. Fizzy lifting drink. Yeah, this feels this feels like the opposite of that. It feels like Ted Cruz just has more. There's just more gravity, like whatever is going on in his like midsection
Starting point is 00:04:54 is just like that. That's it's again. You actually can't. It's impossible to get that more than three feet off the ground. He will. He will never go more than three feet off the ground because he's not strong enough. And he's just running straight up on like powerful white guy confidence like the way he even trots up to that trampling I'm like you sir. Yeah, you really but I get it everything He's like it always works out magically for me and Ted Cruz down
Starting point is 00:05:19 Show you the world she's singing that song in his head Yeah, they used to like back in the day before, like flight was a thing. They were afraid that humans couldn't go above like eight feet, like couldn't go above the second story bodies like. Yeah, yeah. So like before anybody went up in a hot air balloon, they like sent a sheep up in a hot air balloon, like brought it down to see if it was still alive like I feel like this is what it would look like if that had actually been
Starting point is 00:05:50 Oh, what's true? It's like no no no no no no no no no no your body just like gravitation thing that keeps you at a certain elevation like I can't go any higher than this yeah it's like when you hit the hit the top of the board on like a platformer or something. It's like, don't anyways, we're talking about Ted Cruz. We got started talking about Ted Cruz because he was not surprisingly well, while a massive weather catastrophe was happening in Texas, he was nowhere to be seen. The tragic flooding has GOP members pulling out their thesauri to come up with ways to say incomprehensible and an act of God, not man, and definitely not our fault. And certainly not the predictable result of climate change making a once a generation
Starting point is 00:06:44 weather disaster or sort of a once a year thing. Is there a word for that chat GPT? No. As with past weather based tragedies in Texas, people were like, where, where take, where are you? He on vacation again. And this time, so it's not Ken Kuhn. Can't get a little more fun because you just like picture him with like the big like smear of zinc on his nose and like an inflatable giraffe inner tube or something with like a fancy drink.
Starting point is 00:07:12 But he was on vacation in Greece and so that he was, he was issuing that statement about like how we just, there's nothing we can do, but lift their families up in prayer. He was issuing that from Greece and not from the Athens airport on his way home, from a Greek hotel where he was getting ready to go tour the fucking Parthenon. 24 hours after the tragedy, he was spotted touring the Parthenon.
Starting point is 00:07:44 Oh, so this is not even like as it's unfolding. He's like, yeah, that happened. Let's go see the Parthenon. Oh, so it's not even like as it's unfolding. He's like, yeah, that happened. Let's go see the Parthenon. 24 hours. Wow. After the statement, after people were already like, that was a remarkably like shit response from somebody who, like, is actually in control, like one of the most powerful
Starting point is 00:08:03 people in the state of Texas like You're like we just lift their families up with our prayers Bullshit was very weak He took that in and then went and did like the number one Tourist attraction on TripAdvisor. Yeah, right And I followed it up with a Greek street food tour. It was great Really just want to give high marks to our tour guide. You can find his review Him like getting roasted for being bad at his job. Yeah, he's like they actually call it a yeetle here
Starting point is 00:08:43 Really amazing., really amazing. What a fucking loser. The debate still is raging about like who's to blame and like people are like, they got the warning out in time, but I guess the coordination with local officials is still under debate because a lot of the people who were supposed to be doing that were no longer had jobs. And the response from Trump is, he said the job eliminations did not hamper any weather forecasting.
Starting point is 00:09:13 The raging waters, he said Sunday were a thing that happened in seconds. No one expected it. Nobody saw it, which isn't true. You forecasted it. Yeah, they forecast it. They forecasted it. Got the warning out. The warning didn't get to the people who needed to hear it. And yeah, that's actually what happened. But this is what we're gonna be seeing from them as the disaster they cause
Starting point is 00:09:34 and that they are deliberately undermining our ability to survive, continue to get worse. They're just gonna keep being like, you know, we just have to chalk it up to the man upstairs. He clearly wanted to kill those people more than he wants to kill me. So let's check it with Pam Bondi. What's the latest with her? Because, so just a quick recap, beginning of the year, recap, uh, beginning of the year, she was like, people are gonna, are gonna get answers on this. Uh, I have, I've been watching, uh, videos.
Starting point is 00:10:12 I have the list of, uh, Epstein's client list on my, on my desk. I'm just reading it through. I'm a very slow reader, but I'm, I'm reading through it, looking it over. And you know, earlier this week, they announced, Sike! You're actually not going to get- Oh, you thought? There is no client list, you fucking losers, even though I said that. And everybody on the right has been screaming about the Epstein client list and who's on it or who's not.
Starting point is 00:10:43 And I think obviously at this point we're like, oh, so Trump's in that shit. So now they have to act like there's nothing to see here. Well, if only there were like some initial breadcrumbs that would suggest to us that he might be on there, like videos of him at Epstein parties, like visibly like reacting hornily to underage women or him being on the flight logs multiple times. Oh, I don't know. There's nothing to see. and also like that's the part about the DOJ rollout is we're like and also like it feels like there's
Starting point is 00:11:10 Not even like anybody else who may be even connected that we should even look into and it's not that it's not that big of a Deal actually Jeffrey Epstein is like a good guy. I think so Now so another thing they said is like we're gonna release the enhanced video of the shoe the special housing unit where Epstein was being Detained and a lot of people said wait at like at the 1159 mark it just jumps off like forward one minute and there's just a whole minute of the That too. We don't know why it does that. I don't even know dude. I don't even know It's probably like daylight savings time or something So a lot of people again, they're hearing this from conservative meat
Starting point is 00:11:49 Like they're being asked by conservative media because let's forget they are just they're fucking obsessed with the other The file hunters, you know, of course except they just want it to be Bill Clinton or whatever right like Obama So here's a this is Pam Bondi being asked point blank okay. Yo what's up with this missing minute of footage? And this is her answer that I'm sure put everyone suspicions to bed. And the minute missing from the video we released the video showing definitively the video was not conclusive but the what prior to it was showing he committed suicide and what was on that there was a minute that was off the counter and what we learned from Bureau of Prisons was every year
Starting point is 00:12:37 every night every no I'm do that video is old from like 1999 so every do the reset and every night should have the same minute missing. So we're looking for that video. OK, so if you ever need if you ever find yourself in a speed like situation in a prison, just know at around eleven fifty nine, the camera goes out and you can go buck wheezy in there. What the fuck was that? The video like the way she even looks at Trump and she's like, right, because the video is it's from like 1999.
Starting point is 00:13:15 He's nodding slowly. And he's doing like the throat slit thing in time with her. Like, it's really, really fucking wack. And again, whenever- And Trump also got super defensive? Like Supervisor Victor is saying? Like, everybody's just, nobody's selling this, guys. No, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Cause again, they're so stupid that they think you can just merely say no, and then the reality just changes for everyone. It's so wild that they are like so fucked on this That the big piece of evidence that they were presenting which I didn't like I had no Expectations that it was not going to be conclusive all they needed was a fucking video of the door on the night in question And they couldn't even do that They couldn't even show you the unedited footage of the door.
Starting point is 00:14:07 Yeah, it's just a bad look. Like don't even even if the video evidence is conclusive, just that one minute missing has so many people. What the fuck is going on? I mean, because really the bigger thing video being edited or not is the cover up that we're seeing happening where they're saying there is no Epstein client list and no third parties need any kind of investigation because innocent people may be exposed. Like y'all know. Look, there's clearly a cover up here and
Starting point is 00:14:35 I'm just wondering why who's behind Donald Trump is going out of his way to delete the one minute footage where Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton walk in. In all black, all black wearing medical gloves, the black knit cap. Yeah, medical gloves. And they do an exact reenactment of the Michael Clayton hit. Get the stock check on their watch. Three, two, one. Move your body like I had no expectation for the video.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Like I. No. I think there's a very real possibility that Jeffrey Epstein, you know, did take his own life, you know, because somebody was like, look, man, like there's so much money resting on you no longer being alive.
Starting point is 00:15:22 If you don't do it like everyone that we'll figure out a way to tear it out like we'll make it like worse than you just doing it yourself you know like that that makes yeah a ton of sense because yeah there was just way too much riding on the idea of him you know not I mean it's to the point where now they are just disappearing a fucking like evidence Like come the fuck on that's so wild. Yeah, and then yeah when Trump was asked about it He was like guys move it on Let's move along there are other more important stories to tell and that's it on Epstein and that's it on Epstein And no further answers your honor. Let's take a quick break.
Starting point is 00:16:05 We'll come back, we'll talk about some movies. -♪ MUSIC PLAYING. -♪ -♪ MUSIC PLAYING. -♪ For My Heart Podcasts and Rococo Punch, this is The Turning, River Road. I knew I wanted to obey and submit, but I didn't fully grasp for the rest of my life what that meant.
Starting point is 00:16:32 In the woods of Minnesota, a cult leader married himself to ten girls and forced them into a secret life of abuse. Why did I think that way? Why did I allow myself to get so sucked in by this man and thinking to the point that if I died for him, that would be the greatest honor? But in 2014, the youngest of the girls escaped and sparked an international manhunt. For all those years, you know, he was the predator and I was the prey. And then he became the prey. Listen to The Turning River Road on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And Kevin James was not one that I had pinned necessarily for being like a comedian who wants to go like do the tough guy route, you know, like, you know, I'm actually yeah, or
Starting point is 00:20:43 like, you know, Jim Carrey like was like, I'm going to be a serious actor and I'm going to keep doing it. Right. And you know, gave us the Truman Show, a real classic, created a form of psychosis in Americans for generations. And Bob Odenkirk just made Nobody, which is a really fun action movie where he's just like a normal everyday guy who looks like Bob Odenkirk, but also is secretly John Wick. And Kevin James saw that and was like, yes, please.
Starting point is 00:21:18 I'll have some of that. I'm having that. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Fine. I'm just like. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What? Fine.
Starting point is 00:21:29 I'm just like, it is wild. Huh? I think Christina Ricci is in it and does like a no look axe throw to somebody's dome from underneath a bar. And I was like, okay, so. She looks great. Christina Ricci. I love and everything. Big fan. So they made some smart moves here. I'm just saying now like what this is not. This is not the guy like this. Yeah. The thing we want to see from him is making that cute face in the kitchen. Like that. I know. You know, is that that's I think maybe that's what he's trying
Starting point is 00:22:00 to fucking count. He's trying to. Yeah. He's like, that's not me. I'm not. I'm not the guy. the just the very innocent guy from King of Queens. It's like trying to be innocent, like giving the most like. Yeah. I look like Travolta just letting it go, you know, with my bald head and beard. So in this he does have a bald head and beard. He said, give me the late stage Travolta. And they've nailed it. The action looks fun.
Starting point is 00:22:27 But I just like they're making nobody to like I'm going to watch that. I'm probably not going to watch this. Was he did he have a toupee? And then he just like started shaving it off. Yeah, probably. Oh, so later seasons, he was he had the piece and come over. And then he said fuck it I'm going LeBron actually the no LeBron didn't he's I'm going MJ with it
Starting point is 00:22:49 I'm going LeBron in that one picture in that one picture why I tested it out season and then I got scared and went back to it Oh, yeah, you look I don't know with the shaved head. His real name is Kevin nip thing So he what nip thing K NIP? So he what nip thing K N I P F I N G Kevin George nip thing nor nor in professionalize Kevin James Kevin yeah, well you look tough man, and you know what you look great holding a gun And I think people really don't know that you're actually really tough, dude And you're not like a soft-ass dude like the pictures and think your body of work suggests Yeah, you're fucking hard your proper. Yeah. You're fucking hard.
Starting point is 00:23:25 You're a proper hard man. You're fucking so tough, dog. Yeah, dude. Like if they only knew. Bro. And you're going to show them. You're going to show them all. All right.
Starting point is 00:23:35 And then the first reactions to the new Superman movie are out online and they are mixed but seem largely positive. Daily Beast came with one. They were like, this thing sucks shit. Like the headline is, the terrible new Superman movie is the final nail in the grave for the superhero genre. Nail in the grave?
Starting point is 00:23:57 Yeah, you know, sometimes you put a nail in the grave. Oh, okay. Wait, is that actually what it was? That's what it says, it's copy and paste. What the fuck? They don't, you know, it's written by AI. Oh, it is Wait, is that actually what it was? That's what it says. It's copy and paste They don't know it's written by AI. Oh it is. Holy shit. That was the first review and everyone's like, oh man This is really bad. But then all the reviews since that have been like pretty happy It's like James Gunn generally when it comes to superhero movies makes
Starting point is 00:24:27 Watchable stuff. Yeah. Yeah, It would be surprising if this just like completely missed, but people, you know, we're waiting to see. One thing is for sure. And that is that Superman has gone super woke. Oh, shit. We're fucking tired of it. When we fucking hate it. Yeah. Wow. Super woke is the lower third that they had on Fox in front of you. Yeah. OK. James Gunn at one point said very tepid, middle of the road.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Quote, Superman in many ways is an immigrant being, you know, a fucking alien from a different planet. He's Asian. I knew it. This guy's freaking Asian. Get him out of here. Came from other places. Like he just like defined what immigrant is. He's like, he is, he came from other places and they just Fox News just like flipped over the table and like lit a fucking office plan on fire. So a Fox News roundtable with Kellyanne Conway wrote super woke on the lower third, arguing that people don't want to be lectured to.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Jesse Waters joked, MS-13 is probably printed on his cape, which is like a really good one that they had to just like stop down probably for a little while to just like, you know, pause for laughter. Pause for laughter. Change your pants because you pissed yourself so hard. That's how funny it is, because you just your form of joking is just to say some like propaganda buzzword. He probably had Zoran on his shoe. Fuck. Yeah. Cool. The S is probably a Z in this one.
Starting point is 00:26:01 I love, though, how we've exported our ignorance to Australia and on their coverage on Sky News there they this guy goes this guy sounds like he's like auditioning to be on like the fucking Steve Bannon's fucking podcast this is him talking about like this is this is the real American hero. James Gunn announcing that Superman is really a story about an immigrant an immigrant that comes from other places Looking for kindness now obviously Okay, he's positioning this new movie to be part of the debate over how Trump is treating illegals I don't know made before that happened kind after all
Starting point is 00:26:42 Superman arrived from another planet, a refugee, a migrant looking for love. Of course, what the left miss out is that he was raised in middle America by Christian parents to assimilate American and uphold law. Oh, yeah. No, those people still get deported. Yeah, you want us to be debated. Yeah, there's no.
Starting point is 00:27:02 What the fuck are you talking about? You think we care if you're raised in America? No, no, no. By good like Trump voting parents, they're still going to deport your ass, man. You gotta be, you gotta be born here. You gotta bleach your skin, man, and get facial reconstruction surgery to have more Anglo features. Or else you're not. You're either our ice or you're getting your ass deported Yeah, they and this suck like I don't want to have to Defend a movie that ultimately if it does well is going to benefit David Zaslav Like that sucks. He's like well well well Jack people point out like this cast is like particularly white
Starting point is 00:27:43 but it's so Superman flying by. But the idea that like a woke Superman is a new thing is like, first of all, like the big thing like Ben Shapiro's like truth, justice and the American way. That's what he said from the beginning. That's his promise to us. And they're trying to get rid of that.
Starting point is 00:28:06 That was like added for a few years after world war II, when like during the red scare, they added that every other time. That's a propagandized version of Superman actually. From the start, he was just like truth, justice and like some other thing, you know, it was like freedom or something. Freedom in the sixties and seventies, it was a switch to freedom, but in the thirties, it wasn't even the American way because they knew that they could sell this shit everywhere. Right. They weren't, they were no dummies. The immigration metaphor was there from the very
Starting point is 00:28:40 beginning because the creators of Superman, Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster, were the children of immigrants. And yeah, I know that's fucking that free. And that one freaked me out. Those damn turn of the century in a 1940s radio show. He has for a long time, not like been a fan of racism for whatever reason. During the first Trump administration, the comics tried to appeal to both sides. One comic found Superman defending immigrant workers from a white gunman who was like mad at them for taking his job, which I don't know where they got that plot line.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Oh, yeah, from like literally the news and Superman stood up for them. It's wild to like have Superman intervene in an actual news story, like a mass shooting at immigrants and be like, fuck that. It's like, wait, you wish that hadn't happened? I wish that Superman maybe would have been a little bit slower flying there. Right.
Starting point is 00:29:47 That's all I'm saying. That's the, that's, that's, that's actually, that's what I'm saying. I hate that Superman is on the side of the people that I hate. So that means I'm the baddie. Maybe I'm. It could be.
Starting point is 00:29:58 I mean, it might be. Yeah, it might be. Yeah. Anyway. The fact that they don't know that they're the bad guys is like, wow. I do wonder if they'll ever. No, they do. It's just like their whole existence is spent trying to reorganize the world so they
Starting point is 00:30:11 don't have to change anything and they don't have to be the baddies anymore because it ain't going to come through fucking self-awareness or fucking trying to better yourself. It's like, no, I actually need to make the laws now so that I'm actually on the side of good. And there is no such thing as racism. That's right. Well, anyways, we're all rooting for you as as we always were. You know, we need you. I know you need a win after that whole fucking McKinsey debacle with changing the names and shit. I mean, that wasn't a debacle.
Starting point is 00:30:37 That was exactly exactly as planned. He gets to fucking, you know, blame McKinsey. Yeah. And like other CEOs probably were like, damn, that was smart as hell. Damn, you see how he just fucking barrel rolled under that? This guy operates. Okay, spin move. Brian the Edder is also pointing out
Starting point is 00:30:53 that people are mad that Superman will have vulnerabilities in this one. Even though like Superman 2, the original like Christopher Reeve, I think the high point like pretty much agreed to as the high point of the Superman character in terms of like breakthrough and like wide success is like the Christopher Reeves first two Supermans. Um,
Starting point is 00:31:12 the second Superman is like he's normal the whole time and he does it like for a, for a woman dude, like he's like, basically just like sitting there in a cuck chair, the whole thing.
