Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Zite
at the transy Um, I am Jack. That is Miles.
I believe that was from the beautiful brain of producer
Brian as they call him his MC name MC Brian

(00:23):
beautiful Brain. I'm Jack, that's Miles. I already said that
didn't here we go, Here we go, we will be
talking about my strange is going on? How super soaker? Alright?

(00:46):
Hashtag racist hunter is trending. Uh not Pennsylvania's number one
export racist people who are hunters. But actually they're talking
about Hunter Biden. Yeah, because um, they found there's a
Daily Mail article that says he's got some tweets or

(01:06):
he was using the N word with his lawyer like
real like a like a cool white guy who likes
to just you know, uh, pretend like he's wrapping his
favorite song by himself but over text. Uh. And yeah,
I don't know. They said there's like this other meme
that had like there's some Joe Biden Obama meme and
involving he's like, yo, let me call you the N
word like one time. He's like, all right, Joe, one

(01:28):
last time type of meme. Ship. Uh, and you know
the right suddenly knows what racism is. That raged well,
I mean, they know that we can't deal with this because,
I mean, we think that Joe Biden is the you know,
most progressive human being in the world, and so this
just violates everything we know. We we think of the

(01:51):
Biden family is perfect. I mean, I remember when Joe
Biden's perfect primary or his president chill run all the
way from trying to get the nomination, when he regaled
us with such even handed, nuanced stories of gangster's name
corn Pop, who had a old chain he would hit

(02:12):
people with and like black people put the radio on
for your baby, Like come on now, Uh, I don't
think any I don't know. I'm I look at this
and I'm not surprised because also I'm looking at a
government in d C that, no matter what part that
what the party is, at least the established ones, they
don't know what racism is either, because they ain't dealing

(02:33):
with it. Um. Sorry, Ever since you mentioned the corn
Pop story, I'm trying to remember. Did he say something
about leaving razor blades in rain cans? Yeah, like rusty
razor blades. Yeah, that's so confusing. Anyways, Um, good luck,

(02:55):
being President Hunter Biden. We don't even know what they
think anymore yet. Yeah, it's all clownary like it's almost
I feel like the people who are that have been
in politics out We've heard how Joe Biden spoke as
a senator. Yeah, you know what I mean. We saw
how he treated Anita Hill. Do you think that I'm

(03:15):
now surprised that his son is saying this stuff. It's
not to excuse it, but it's just like it's just
the selective outrage, just so transparent, and it's just it's
actually it does a disservice, like when we have real
consequential types of systemic racism to deal with and people
want to get caught up on like what the president's
son is doing, and then they miss everything else, like

(03:36):
you know, police reform, uh and ship that would actually
affect people's lives day to day. Right. Yeah, And he
said that if Israel didn't exist, we'd have to invent it.
Um not not related to American racism, but certainly related
to a apartheid state in the Middle East. All Right,

(03:59):
I think you should leave is trending. That is the
Tim Robinson Netflix comedy series that broke my brain. We
love it. We love that show around here because I
was on a plane with you and super producer Anna
Hosnie watching it. I don't even think I was watching
for the first time. No, you had like cashed all
the episodes on your phone because you're like, I got

(04:20):
to watch something on this flight. Yeah. And I was
crying so hard that like tears report or I was
laughing so hard, tears were pouring down my face. But
if they didn't know you, someone might think you were
like weeping over something you were seeing because you were
just you had that like convulsive laughter and there was
a stranger between Anna and I was. I remember I

(04:42):
was literally like using all of my energy to try
and like stay quiet and it just wasn't working. Uh,
just trying to control my laughter. I like laughing more
than I laughed hard. Yeah, I go hard farms harder,
Yeah exactly. Um. Anyways, that show is coming out with

(05:05):
the second season, as is the other two, which is
another one of the great uh comedies of the past
few years. Um. Yeah, both both coming out with a
season two in the not too distant future. So we
have been blessed. Um. Brian Williams is trending because he Uh.

(05:26):
So there's there's some like P S A or something
by that put together just testimony from various uh Capitol
Hill police about the insurrection on one six and uh
they tried to use airtime on Fox News to get

(05:47):
it out in front of Fox News viewers, and Fox
rejected that add by so Brian Williams uh showed it
on his program. Uh and yeah, people people are just
into it, like Brian Williams is a badass. Um, what
was the what did the I I'd say, Yeah, it's

(06:08):
just basically showing the human toll, like it's these Capital
police being like that was the most brutal, like hand
to hand combat I've ever encountered, and like showing the
people like dragging people dragging a police like rag dolls
through crowds and stuff, just kind of emphasizing that this

(06:30):
is not like a small, small deal and that it's
wild that we're not going to get any sort of
inquiry into it, which of course is a point that
would be a you know, Fox News viewers would be
allergic to. So hey, yeah, I mean you know, Fox
though famously UH is behind the police, you know, except

(06:52):
in these instances, except beat up by racists almost like
they're behind racism and not the least. Oh whoa, we
don't zoom out so far, jack, you lose all the nuance. Um,
a woman gave birth to ten babies at the same
time I didn't damn time, So she is trending. I

(07:17):
was trying to come up with the right word as
a deck uplet language even go that far, Like at
that point we might have to coin a new term. Yeah,
like even when they're yeah, they'll they'll like Latin people
were putting the like old classic language together. They're like,
what do we do this up to? It's like, I
don't know penta couple what about ten? Kidding me? Ten babies?

(07:42):
We don't need a inventor word for that and babies.
Looks the photo of her when she was pregnant while
she first she thought she's having six babies, and she
went in and then they say she's having eight. She
had fucking ten children on top of already having like twins.
So that's a you know, that's a what is it

(08:03):
cheaper by the dozen? Right there? Hey, all right? You
know what I'm saying. It is the couplets that is,
you bring up cheaper by the dozen because that is
the movie that you were watching on that same flight
and just crying lacking up. Yeah, yeah, Martin is so funny.

(08:24):
You know I was watching Cheaper by the Dozen too,
right right, that is a good one. Oh my god,
Hilary Duff isn't killing it right now? And don't get
the start. I'm serious and Fastly is training because that
is a server company that was down this morning and

(08:46):
brought down The New York Times, brought down Google, brought
down all sorts of for real big websites. When the
East Coast woke up this morning, Uh, a bunch of
the Internet was down. Redd it was down, um so
Fastly wait again, that was because some ransomware ship. I
don't know if it was ransomware. Actually yeah, it went
down this morning, so we don't We still don't have

(09:08):
the autopsy of what knocked half the Internet down. But
it's delicate. Is our whole infrastructure is you know? They
you just like throw a little throw a bag of
marbles on the ground in front of one part of
the supply chain and ship goes wild. Sorry we didn't

(09:29):
plan for this. Um. I'm finally Chris Harrison, uh is
he's gone? Um from the Bachelor. Oh my god, and
it's all he has to show up it. Yeah, what happened?
So he he got fired or he quit fired, he's leaving,

(09:50):
I mean his what Once it became clear that they
didn't want to keep him after he went on a
run just defending a race us on a on a
TV show, being like, mayh yeah, we're gonna bring actually
super producer on a hosni uh to explain take it

(10:10):
away on Hey, guys, I am reporting out from the scene.
I am outside Chris Harrison's house. It does look like
Chris Harrison was threatening to reveal all the deep dark
secrets of the Bachelor franchise. Yeah, I don't sorry, there's

(10:30):
helicopters out here. Yeah, helicopters that go well, guys, sorry, helicopters. Uh.
It turns out that he was threatening Warner Bros. At
So he was like, give me a ton of money
and I'll keep my vouch shut. And so he was
able to get an eight figure deal to walk away

(10:53):
and stay silent. Alright, guys, reporting from the field, this
is all right. That's you love to shout out to
Chris Harrison doing the white Man Golden parachute on out
threatening blackmail to get your way. I love I love it.
What a fucking croc a shit. Everything is also like

(11:14):
well funk. I mean, I'm sure there are pretty like
explicitly like fucked up things that happened, but you can
just tell by the way the show moves that there's
a lot going on there. I'm sure that they don't
want people to know. But what what do you think
was they were concerned about getting out? I think they

(11:35):
just don't want people to know just how explicitly out
of touch and racist the production staff behind it. They're like, oh,
you should see how they choose these people and the
things I've heard them say. It wasn't just me being like,
well the antebelling period was it wasn't really that long ago,
so like, you know, it's okay if some people misunderstand

(11:57):
what it meant or what that means. And just to
remind people his the thing he said was that someone
was like, you know, it's problematic that was it the
Bachelor at or a contestant on the Bachelor. It was
a contestan on The Bachelor who was going to win. Uh.
People were like, it's terrible that she went to plantation

(12:21):
parties and he was like, really, but it was two
thousand eighteen. We didn't know. We didn't know back then,
we didn't know what it was. Again, I would say this.
This was after Charlottesville and we still didn't know what
any of this meant. So yeah, goodbye. A punk is asked,
if you see him, you know milk We need to

(12:42):
start milkshaking rich people. Yeah. Look, rich people should not
be able to show their faces in public, but to like,
they already hobnob at places most broke people or normal
people can never access anyway. So oh, that's like a
new prank show where it's like you infiltrate these like
high societies things. You're like, Hi, Jeff Bezos, I'm this

(13:02):
magnate and then you're like pump pants your ass in
front of everybody. An you're like, yo, look at his
Amazon underwear. She's weird. Um. That's assuming that he, uh,
you know, gets through July. We'll see, um, yeah, we'll

(13:26):
see if karma exists, y'all. Yeah, I guess so live Um.

are trending. Uh here on Tuesday, June eight We are
