---

Epstein List Controversy

The episode kicks off with a heated discussion about the Trump administration's recent declaration denying the existence of the infamous Jeffrey Epstein contact list. Eric introduces the topic by stating:

“Yesterday, the Trump administration announced that Epstein list doesn't exist.” ([02:21])

Brady quickly counters this statement with skepticism, recalling previous mentions of the list:

“We lied about that. Brady. It was there. It wasn't there. He didn't kill himself. He did kill himself. Everything's fine. I was on the list. That's why Brett. So we got rid of them, you know.” ([02:27])

The hosts delve into the conflicting statements made by Attorney General Pam Bondi earlier in the year, who had affirmed the existence of the list:

“Earlier this year, Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox News there was a list. It's on her desk for her review. She also said there's other evidence that we were going to release.” ([02:35])

However, the Justice Department later retracted these claims, solidifying the administration's stance that Epstein's death was a suicide and that no such list would be released:

“Justice Department says it's not going to release anything further. It's declared that Epstein killed himself.” ([02:35] - [03:06])

Evan expresses frustration over the contradictory information:

“The Epstein list is just confusing enough to make you turn it off.” ([03:17])

Brady adds to the confusion by humorously stating:

“We looked at the list and we realized there isn't one.” ([04:06])

The discussion highlights the widespread skepticism and conspiracy theories surrounding the Epstein case, with mentions of public figures like Elon Musk and Alex Jones expressing their doubts and concerns:

“Even Alex Jones is freaking out about it.” ([03:09])

The hosts metaphorically describe the situation:

“The Epstein list. It's just confusing enough to make you turn it off. And it's like, no.” ([03:17])

Brady humorously reiterates the non-existence of the list:

“There isn't no list.” ([04:34])

Scarlett Johansson’s Box Office Triumph

Transitioning to entertainment, Eric shares impressive news about Scarlett Johansson:

“Scarlett Johansson has just been named the highest grossing lead actor movies that she starred in.” ([06:10])

He quantifies her success:

“Yep. 14.8 billion. So she's ahead of two of her other MCU co-stars. Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Downey Jr.” ([06:17])

The hosts commend her achievement and discuss its significance within the film industry, emphasizing her dominance in box office revenues.

Israel Nominates Trump for Nobel Prize

In a surprising twist, the conversation shifts to an unexpected nomination:

“Benjamin is great. Did you see Benjamin yesterday? Brady? He. He nominated me for the Nobel Peace.” ([06:46])

The hosts engage in playful banter about the legitimacy and absurdity of such a nomination:

“Yakka kakakai to you as well. Brett likes this too much. It's encouraging.” ([07:15])

Brady humorously contemplates the nomination's implications:

“I'm going to win the Nobel Peace Prize for bombing a nuclear facility.” ([07:29])

Evan adds to the humor with a reference to Gene Simmons:

“It was me. Gene Simmons of Kiss. That's boring.” ([07:05])

Pop Culture Segments and Additional Remarks

The episode continues with light-hearted segments, including discussions about Richard Simmons memorabilia:

“There's 200 items Bonham auctions will be offering. The bedazzled tank tops, the shorts.” ([08:55])

Brady humorously ties it back to the main topic:

“Brady has the Lincoln Lolita, who takes young girls across state lines against their will and farts on them for six days in San Diego. It's great.” ([10:02])

The hosts weave in personal anecdotes and satirical comments on societal issues, maintaining a balance between serious discussions and entertaining content.

Notable Quotes with Timestamps

• Brady on the Epstein List:

  “When I say there's no list. We, we checked out all the lists. We look at the lists. We look at the list. [...] There isn't one that we looked at.” ([04:13])

  “The Epstein list is just confusing enough to make you turn it off.” ([03:17])

Transcript

[Brett]

That's a fact. You can visit us at the store at northeast corner of 12th street in Indian School or online at mmpguns.com.

[Brady]

You'Ve.

[Evan]

Been deceived by an agent of Satan himself. He's evil sitting right here. Come on. No, no, he's not evil.

[Brady]

He's just a bit rude. 98 a year of piety.

[Evan]

All right, let's get the heck out of here, shall we? It's 10 o'. Clock. Should have been done a couple minutes ago. Or not. Apolog. Well, that's Superman talk. It's time now for the entertainment drills brought to you by our [e-mail] the Home Tactical Black self defense training. And I always said it earlier, there is truth to what I said about defending yourself by screaming, yelling and flailing. Sounds pansy. But man oh man, the people attacking you hate that. So do bees. Somebody sent me the clip of Steve O. And I forget who was that? One of the other guys on Jackass. And to see what's real, what's better if you're in a hive of bees, staying calm or running around and flailing and the dude running around got stung a thousand times. Steva was so high I don't think he felt it.

[Brady]

So it didn't.

[Evan]

It doesn't matter. But I like the idea of screaming, yelling and flailing. Fighting back, that's the key. And learning how to become a sheepdog and not be a sheep. It is a great time to get involved with ReactDefense.com with the craziness that goes on each and every day out there, there's no reason you shouldn't be a little bit prepared just in case. And preparation us means you have more confidence. And that almost always means no one's going to even try to make you a victim so you can win the fight before there's even a fight. That's how it works. And you'll get in great shape while you do it, too. Stand tall, walk a little prouder, and be a sheepdog. Reactdefense.com that's where you go. It's the home attack of Black Brady Entertainment.

[Eric]

Yesterday, the Trump administration announced that Epstein list doesn't exist.

[Brady]

We lied about that. Brady. It was there. It wasn't there. He didn't kill himself. He did kill himself. Everything's fine. I was on the list. That's why Brett. So we got rid of them, you know.

[Eric]

Earlier this year, Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox News there was a list. It's on her desk for her review. She also said there's an other evidence that we were going to release. She was talking about a bunch of videos, but now there's nothing. No list. Justin. Justice Department says it's not going to release anything further. It's declared that Epstein killed himself.

[Evan]

Yeah, they said there's no murder. This whole.

[Eric]

It is this real disturbance in the MAGA, MAGAverse. Even Alex Jones is freaking out about it.

[Evan]

Well, he did. What else?

[Eric]

Elon Musk has gone to town saying it's a.

[Evan]

There's a list of something. It either is nothing on the list or it's so detrimental to so many people that they've decided to pretend it doesn't exist. Yeah, I don't think this is a win for either side. You know, this Epstein list to me reminds me of when you go on a. The other last week, it was pouring rain here on my weather app. I looked and it said no rain. And I looked for, like, next. When is it going to rain here? And it was already starting to rain a little bit. And then it said, there's no chance of rain where I am and it will end in six, six minutes. And I'm like, wait a minute. You said it's not raining at all, but the rain that isn't happening is going to end in six minutes. That's the Epstein list. It's just confusing enough to make you turn it off. And it's like, no.

[Brady]

We looked at the list and we realized there isn't one.

[Brett]

The Belichick and Tom Brady run this investigation.

[Evan]

I mean, yeah, Brady.

[Brady]

When I say there's no list. We, we checked out all the lists. We look at the lists. We look at the list. We're big on this. Like Schindler big. Like Schindler's list. We looked at the list and we said, there is no list. What were you looking at the list? And then it said no list. Actually, it was a list of things that are not lists. So there isn't one that we looked at.

[Evan]

When they say they looked at it and that there isn't one. It's just enough to spin you around like a Batman villain. And then they're gone. Brady.

[Brady]

I looked at my phone and I realized there was no phone. I asked my phone, I said, where's my phone? And it said that you don't have one. And that's what I'm going with. There isn't no list.

[Eric]

Just a flight log.

[Brady]

There's no flight lock. I looked at the flight lock. There wasn't one.

[Evan]

It's just enough to make you go, huh? And then you stop asking the right question. And it ain't just Trump. There's a Clinton family over there getting Bill cool towels. Are they doing it or what's he doing with that goddamn list?

[Brady]

He said there wasn't one, Bill. Oh, thank God.

[Evan]

I love Donald Trump so much.

[Eric]

Most of those places have, like the island that he had as a guest book and people just sign it.

[Evan]

More importantly, cameras. They were everywhere.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Evan]

When they went through his again. Epstein's New York house had thousands of holes drilled in the walls where little pin cameras were. And everyone who was there ended up knowing about that and it scared them.

[Eric]

Extra ventilation.

[Evan]

Yes. That he would be. Look, the day you see Bill Clinton.

[Brady]

Go, you know what? Donald Trump's not a bad guy.

[Evan]

We just need to give it that. Then you know that they made it.

[Brady]

You say, I'm nice on TV and I won't put the list out. There is no list. Oh, I know that. We both know there's no list, but I'll put it out.

[Brett]

They figure if Diddy can walk, then this is gonna walk away too.

[Evan]

The list has life. But I don't know, it's just it. There's something there that isn't there.

[Eric]

Scarlett Johansson has just been named the highest grossing lead actor movies that she starred in.

[Evan]

Scarlett Johansson?

[Eric]

Yep. 14.8 billion. So she's ahead of two of her other MCU co stars. Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Downey Jr. You.

[Evan]

Get into those movies and it's huge. Junior makes a point. That said, don't you find it strange that Israel's prime minister was here and a list wasn't revealed? I don't know if that's a tie in. You tried to Schindler in there. I've brought you no lists today.

[Brady]

Benjamin is great. Did you see Benjamin yesterday? Brady? He. He nominated me for the Nobel Peace. That. It was Jean. No, that was Benjamin. Oh, I think. Was it Ben? Ben, come on in here. Is it you or.

[Evan]

Hello, Mr. President. It wasn't me. It was Gene Simmons.

[Brady]

Come on, engine.

[Evan]

It was me. Gene Simmons of Kiss. That's boring.

[Eric]

You nominated Trump.

[Brady]

I did not nominate Trump.

[Evan]

No, it was Dave Draiman of Disturbed.

[Brady]

Come on in, Dave.

[Evan]

The least I could do is nominate you, Mr. President.

[Brady]

Yakka kakakai. Is that some sort of Jew thing? Hey, Yakka kakai to you as well. Brett likes this too much. It's encouraging.

[Brett]

Bring Kevin back on the phone from earlier.

[Brady]

Kevin would love this. Kevin would be a big fan, as the Jews say. And also, Brady, I'm going to win the Nobel Peace Prize for bombing a nuclear facility.

[Eric]

Congratulations.

[Brady]

It's irony, I know, but it's real. There is no list. Like, there is no Iranian nuke facility. I got that too.

[Eric]

Barack Obama is doing a show in London. A speaking engagement at the O2 Arena. VIP tickets are going for $2,440. It includes a photo op, commemorative ticket, a copy of Obama's memoir, Promised Land. Premium seating, post show, access to private club where there's a bar and live music.

[Evan]

Cool.

[Eric]

And you get to touch Big Mike's unit.

[Evan]

Oh, man, I gotta do that?

[Eric]

No, but that package is more than Beyonce.

[Evan]

VIP Chapter 3 Snake Jaw. I had to learn how to dislocate my jaw to please Big Mike. That's true.

[Brett]

Is he over there playing one of those recorders and stuff? Just like the. The Cobra dance and stuff like that.

[Evan]

Sometimes we play Indian in a basket and Big Mike puts her package inside there and I. The snake comes out. And then I dislodge my jaw and ironically swallow the snake.

[Brady]

There's no list.

[Eric]

If you want to buy some of the late Richard Simmons.

[Brady]

Heck yeah.

[Eric]

Wardrobe.

[Evan]

What?

[Eric]

There's 200 items Bonham auctions will be offering. The bedazzled tank tops, the shorts.

[Brett]

Oh, you need that for night of the Singing, Dad.

[Evan]

Yeah, I think maybe I have to. I think I can just buy that, though. I don't need to get, like, the authentic.

[Eric]

Look at that. A painting of Richard surrounded by Dalmatians.

[Evan]

That's cute. I can make a sweating with the oldies tank. And I certainly don't need bacon strip Richard Simmons shorts to be authentic. I don't think anybody's gonna ask me, are those really his?

[Brett]

You can wear the certificate of authenticity around your neck. While you're wearing it.

[Evan]

And here's a plus for those of you who weren't curious. These are actually worn by Richard Simmons at one point.

[Eric]

That portrait will go right now between 8001200 bucks and the. His gym, the Slimmins gym right there. That little placard you can buy.

[Evan]

Oh, I see.

[Brady]

Slims.

[Evan]

I guess that's a pun. By the way, I just got a text from someone that said some. I was with a guy this weekend that called his. His car, the Lolita Express. Signed Kirby's friend. So there is a list. You're on a Lincoln Lolita Express.

[Brady]

That's right. Brady has the Lincoln Lolita, who takes young girls across state lines against their will and farts on them for six days in San Diego. It's great.

[Brett]

We can feel better about Roxanne. She's 25.

[Brady]

Okay.

[Brett]

Thank God we just got that emailed into us.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Eric]

Still don't know how I feel.

[Brett]

And this guy would bang.

[Evan]

I feel fine about it. Oh, yeah, no, she's good, but you just. You can't say it out loud until you know for sure. Yeah.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Evan]

Because I want to say, remember that one girl we were looking at? I'm like. I don't know if she's 15 or 30. And then I'm like, she's gorgeous. And then turned out she was 16. And you're like, now I'm. Now I'm a weirdo.

[Eric]

She's at least 17 now.

[Brady]

And she was never at Lolita Island. She was never on the plane. She's not on the list. When I was banging her, she wasn't there. That's exactly how that worked. Didn't exist.

[Evan]

Something about that thing is. I said it years ago. I'm glad they're burying this. You do not.

[Eric]

Andrew's, like I told you.

[Evan]

Yeah. You do not want this out. You may think that you're going to get tribal with your Democrat or Republican politics. They're all on it. And the pulling on this little string unravels a big sweater of. It's a disaster. Bury this. Bury it. Oh, please bury it, because it'll be someone we end up knowing, like, triple be on it. Oh, they buried the list that doesn't exist. Burying. Ooh, Speaking of burying. That's what we used to do on Epstein Island. Yeah. I bury my pain into one of those peoples that was on there.

[Eric]

Man, oh, man.

[Evan]

But it didn't happen. Didn't exist. These aren't the droids you're looking for. Is essentially what just happened. We're done. Larry's coming up next. Larry happened. He's real. And aren't you lucky for me, Larry's giving away dates with himself today. If you guys want to go out with Larry, he'll take you over the Applebee's, get a Midori Sour and stare in your eyes for hours.

[Eric]

Nice.

[Brady]

That's nice.

[Evan]

That's the Midori Sour Hour with Larry. That's coming up next. You guys have yourselves a great Tuesday. We'll see you tomorrow right here in the morning sickness.
