My Thanksgiving Plea: Track Down The Trans

[Allylaprof]

...that's a lonely man.

[jaydee22100]

You were def more successful than I was in locating Martha....she was one of my bestest friends in kindergarten, and lost touch when they moved to FL. I would love to figure out a way to re-connect with her if you could be of any assistance........

[th1nkp1nk91]

LMAO XD Little shit. That's too hilarious

[harrisonsuniverse]

i found this through sxephil!

[football356]

I hope you had a very TRANNY THANKSGIVING with a bunch of trannys

[Hyphy101dre]

TRAN-NY

[teamr0ckit]

I don't think it was creepy at all. OK, maybe initially, but I think b/c of our boundaries and perceptions it keeps us from getting to know so many people we otherwise would. I think it's a great story. Yah for you? :-)

[mynewrisingsun]

k natalie tran lives in austrailia, not america.

[LCbabyxO]

i am seriously confused.. 

[hugeackman]

comunitychannel!

[vintage7400]

Watched every episode, the story was awesome, not many of us though an get the cash together in such a sort time an d just hop on a plane to fly out from Austalia to get to the USA with ony a few days to plan things.. but good luck to you, I also have fmily in the USA one a sister I havent seen for 35 yrs and some Ive never met but Im stuck here in Australia and very happily married, I just still could not make a pea in public like you did mate, but good luck to you

Once again just awesome

[aLdee83]

watched every episode... LOVED IT!!!

[melloe]

hmm! kind of creepy but I like it lol

[NutShowTV]

Why didn't you reply to one of the emails and tell them they have the wrong address? The real James West could be dead....or starving!!!!

[Mishyb00]

I thought this was extremely creepy..

[smithilberry]

LOL

[HighPriestofLemuria]

No man, it is literally the top of a stove, we don't have many in America, thanks to the financial troubles, so we all have to share our stove tops until we work this thing out.

[evlstarlet]

How awesome! :) I hope you had a great thanksgiving. I didn't spend mine at home, for the first time, but instead with my graduate student friends (also students who couldn't/didn't go home). We all made a lot of food, and it was delicious and fun. I hope your first thanksgiving was great too! I loved reading your story. All the best!

[poeticaeclair]

What an awesome adventure indeed!

[Robertz1986]

Watch the next video. He did go to Thanksgiving with them and did a broadcast from their kitchen!

[MsCrazybadass]

this is a youtue plea. james, you're hot. not sure if i want your baby just yet, but def interested in dating and probably a lot of shagging! please message me so we can figure out if this is okay. if you're bi, that's okay too. just as long as you're not a total pooftah. you are damn fine james, and i will not rest until we meet. xo

[jamie1707]

@MsCrazybadass If James is a 'total pooftah', would he still be damn fine? IMO, damn right! Was kind of hoping he played for my team. I don't really care what side of the road he walks, he'd be a neat guy to meet and chat with. He seems like a totally cool guy.

[aristeo88]

crazy crazy bastard

[asomeman1223]

look for them on facebook

[eujeeves]

Wow this guy can land a job as a spy or Daniel Radcliffe's emo twin in some movie...

[Ericrestes1]

Hey James! Sorry about all the comments that these jerks can leave lol Internet anonymity is BS. Anyway I think that this is awesome. I watched your entire video series on meeting the Trans and it was heartwarming and fun ^.^ My family really liked it. We do stuff like that and invite people we don't know from all over the world to come hang out with us. It's a lot of fun! And hey if you're ever in Arizona I can give you the tour! Are you a journalist? Because you're very well spoken.

[jolgtr]

ur a creepy stalker, why wouldn't you tell them it's the wrong email, that guy probably thinks his family hates him, ya bastard!

[TheKnightsofwar210]

This is one of the best videos I've watched in a long time.

[Sn0wtheMaN]

Epic!

[english6715]

Very noble of you! Congratulations!

[BakRU84]

why didn't you just explain that you weren't the right person? why would you go through all this trouble to have an awkward confrontation? this is a stupid idea.

[chescaleigh]

@BakRU84 stupid idea that has been picked up by news outlets around the world and has connected complete strangers and given them to chance to have an amazing thanksgiving story that they'll talk about for years to come. yup. so. stupid.

[BakRU84]

@chescaleigh The idea itself is stupid. The fact that it was picked up by Gizmodo and a bunch of local news outlets is entirely incidental. He didn't plan this from the beginning. This is just a publicity stunt. Seriously, what could be the best outcome of this? They let him into their house and he enjoys thanksgiving with a bunch of strangers? If this hadn't become a public internet phenomenon, they'd slam the door in his face

[BakRU84]

@chescaleigh I doubt he's a new family friend. Maybe a penpal. I guess it's a fun media story, as my girlfriend just filled me in on the latest.

[chescaleigh]

@BakRU84 like i said, i know the family and they are really amazing. some of the nicest and coolest people you could ever meet. i have a feeling next year they'll find a way to visit Australia as many of them love to travel. you never know! at the end of the day it's a crazy story with a great outcome. what were the chances that they'd say yes and that they would get along so well? take a look at the new videos, it's impossible to deny how fun this whole thing has been

[chescaleigh]

not true. i know the Tran family and they accepted his invitation before this whole thing even became "a story" james is having a great time in Florida and the whole family is enjoying him. so that's what's come of it. a new family friend and an amazing story. why is that a bad thing?

[AdamKaoru]

You're probably not gay so sorry for this, but you're effing cute.

[jeep493]

@AdamKaoru he is gay. he said on the radio he was

[TheMelanar]

lonelygirl15

[ParadoxAndPlaid]

@TheMelanar Aw man, I miss that show. 

[cnstarz]

James, I hope you enjoy the fare and the experience. I think I would be as curious to learn about certain Aussie holidays as you are to learn about ours. Don't listen to the haters expending their energy asking why-I think you explained yourself fairly and properly. We live about 30 miles from where you'll be enjoying your holiday, and all I can say is I'm looking forward to seeing the news reports. :) To the Trans, enjoy your new friend! Have fun to all, and Happy Thanksgiving!

[anotherlookmedia]

love it

[bobct1956]

This is fantastic! I am so glad everyone was nice and you were able to pull this off. Happy Thanksgiving!

[Tuscank]

He's so cute!

[chescaleigh]

@MrPulpNonfiction i know right? how does this not have 50k views?? everyone should tweet this to YT to get it featured for the holiday

[Al3xChap1n]

I watched this story on CBS12 News yesterday. I think it's great! You should already be in Miami, right?

Hope you have a great meeting and meal too... :-)

[LunaCallista1]

This is pretty amazing. Things like this don't happen to just anyone on a daily basis. I can see your complete excitement to have dinner with the Trans family and from the comments below, it seems like that will be happening after all. I hope the experience is just as wonderful as you anticipate it to be. Have fun. =]

[jinx848]

haha awesome. Hope you get invited!

[nightseifer]

Bwahahaha your nuts mate

[benroddaismyname]

Natalie Tran? (communitychannel) she lives in Sydney too I'm pretty sure... they could be related?

[benbutterell]

Your really strange mate, just email then back? very strange....

[airhead22]

I think this is amazing =]]]

[LibertarianChristian]

Just wondering if mostly aussies are getting this trending video... thumbs up if you are.

[lurveit]

1.45 on is pretty funny...

[zdm75]

Why don't you just respond to them?

[masanith]

This is playing out like a University Project Marketing Plan... it makes me sick. Claim you're not selling anything James? You're selling James West. And I'm not buying it. You are the opposite of internet famo... you are staged, deliberate, insincere and opportunistic. Enjoy your fifteen minutes.. tick tick tick.

[chescaleigh]

@masanith honestly, what makes you say that?

[myfriends8008]

Dr. Tran!

[SnakeJake]

Here's hoping you won't get greeted at the airport by a family of Trannies.

[lurveit]

@SnakeJake lol. Good call.

[GreenCross21]

@sxcbeast202 lmao same man

[ReadMyCommentBitch]

I feel like this is gonna end up being viral marketing for a canned corn company

[mooneepondskid]

@ReadMyCommentBitch Well it wasnt a marketing campaign..but it does show you how some people have become cynical using the internet.

[HaleighHoffman]

This is hilarious! I'm sure they would love to have you over.

[SoEscapistique]

This is amazing to the point where I barely believe it, wow!!!

[chescaleigh]

this is fantastic! you're going to have a wonderful time because the Tran family is amazing and George is a fantastic cook. George and Mary are actually engaged and getting married next year. My boyfriend is a long time friend of George's and we've had some fantastic dinner parties at their home. sweetest couple ever. Sorry we can't make it home to meet you and join in the fun! have a blast and enjoy!

[satl2f]

I am also a TRANsssvestite

[katherinentran]

PS, this is Katherine Tran again, when you take my seat at Thanksgiving dinner, it comes with cleaning responsibilities. ;-)

[katherinentran]

For anyone who thinks this is a hoax, I woke up yesterday to the Aussie James West's email. This is just a very nice mistaken identity email address situation... This has been such a nice in the last day... it's a lot of fun to be included in our holiday preparations, we are a very large family and enjoy the festivities :-) Sadly I am in NY this Thanksgiving but I wish James a great meeting with the other James aka Jimmy and a fabulous Thanksgiving with my family!!!

[scmini]

Well i would asume Doctor Tran would know who they are :P

[Caineheist]

Stalker.

[oOSiegheartOo]

Holy shit i clicked this video because i thought it's daniel radcliffe from the thumbnail

[theawkwardmomentwhen]

It's Natalie Tran.

[jesusatesocks]

@theawkwardmomentwhen She is pretty lonely...

[tqdomains]

@theawkwardmomentwhen This has nothing to do with Natalie Tran.

[theawkwardmomentwhen]

@tqdomains 'Twas a playful joke, kind sir.

[rollagirl]

This is so totally rude !

you should have sent an email the after the first month or so and apologised and said 'i am not the person you think i am, very sorry'

rude and against privacy laws !

[MadHatter3Z3]

@rollagirl

If you listened to what he said, which you obviously didn't, you would have heard him say that he thought the emails were spam and so didn't pay any attention to them for years and deleted some.

[blurred666]

@rollagirl eat a dick

[alienwareguy]

This is quite disturbing... i hope you realise this!

That is all...

[X0XemmaleeX0X]

Why is this video trending?

[Yanoss1313]

@X0XemmaleeX0X because he looks like harry potter, lol

[Al5ezdlt]

@X0XemmaleeX0X Why not?

[MrZackeriess]

@X0XemmaleeX0X tosh.o

[simplyianm]

@X0XemmaleeX0X On gizmodo

[davcoolbeans]

@X0XemmaleeX0X Cause it's effing awesome!

[TheBerjay]

why are you selling canned corn -.- :L

[40HarmfulChemicals]

Dr. Trans bringing the ass kicking

[T3AMTATUM]

OMG HARRY POTTER IS A TRANS ahahahahaha

[Kaaylaaax]

He was talking bout this on sunrise i think :S

[DoraTheExplorerizer]

[boodha2]

@DoraTheExplorerizer lol

[pinkskies2704]

[pinkskies2704]

@DoraTheExplorerizer ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that's just hilarious.. but some asians do eat dogs =(

[Saek069]

heres an idea delete the part were your tracking where they live and send this video to them in an email or email them saying your a pervert thats been reading there emails for 3 years

[alipategi]

WTF?

[PlanetaryMATE]

Wtf?why would you make a vid of this shit, Why is it trending?what a homo

[Ataknaldo9]

What the hell is this?

[JayJs95]

[xXCommanderZeroXx]

what the fuuuckkkk is this guy on a bout?

[studogs80]

ur left eye is a downsyndrome hahahaha lool

[madmick82]

watch?v=SZ_9qzJUKmc



[habiebiee]

to be honest, your behaviour is pretty unethical...cant u just send an email back to the sender(the trans) that they have been sending to the wrong james west...instead of reading ppls emails...its like opening and reading others letters....D:

[hamboro]

@habiebiee dude shut the fuck up

[xdottigirlx]

Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi Oi Oi! <3

[Mad1jaM]

bit gay, and why is it in trending?

[Tiacola05]

Loser.

[JustAnotherFan02]

your cute but crazy

[overgrownjackass]

Isn't what you're doing illegal? lol

[ma1ice2you]

@overgrownjackass

why is it illegal to read emails that have been sent to you?

[overgrownjackass]

@ma1ice2you na i ment tracking down the trans and rmailing back if you are the 'other' james west

[habiebiee]

@overgrownjackass totally agree...and its super unethical!!!! D: shame on you,james! D:

[TheBeastGuy6969]

you look like daniel radcliffe :D

[Lawpants95]

testi-pop at 2:34?

[gattcat0]

this is weird bro...

[HaowyXD]

Isn't Tran a vietnamese last name?

[wertlad1]

@HaowyXD it sure is

[shaunosullivan111]

change your email address?

[OriginalGlazedDonuts]

It is actually Natalie Tran. She does this type of thing, as she states she is a "loser on the internet".

[dblai21]

Good Luck mate and have the time of your life!

[Noahboah234]

.This.Is.Retarded.

[noodles824]

James, we really can't wait to meet you! I have a video of my James west on my YouTube account. Check it out!

[kwe54673]

where is your family based? i also have the last name west and i've been trying to track down the "wests" for years now...

[markteys]

Congratulations on the invite.

[eskimoquinn]

Gosh, why are people so nasty?? This is great fun, and the world needs more of that. Have fun James!

[vintage7400]

@eskimoquinn Could not agree more but unfortuntely some people will not learn and always will be that way, they wouldn't know the true meaning of fun, great comment, wtg

[fanderem1]

George is my step brother (the one bringing the good beer).

If you make it to New York after Florida we would welcome you to our home too!

[aceldamadh]

Very quirky and interesting idea. If you go, should vlog the whole thing :D

[loaner1983]

I am one of the Trans! Well I'm a cousin in Texas.

[mntran24]

Hey, its George and you are totally invited! See you Thursday morning!!!!!

[fryedays]

James, I am one of the Trans and can't wait to meet you!!! Have a safe flight! :)

[shuboo]

Wait, these Tran people spent 3 years preparing ONE Thanks Giving? It better be good!

[shuboo]

Dude, you don't want to piss people off BEFORE you meet them. Don't put shit on Martha's stovetop stuffing!

[missy2uty]

dont forget the vegemite!

[babylonsabator]

I know the Trans of which you speak! Some truly wonderful people. James (Jimmy) is Carole's husband, super cool guy.

But I got news for you... They're on to you - Carole just sent me the email with this link...

Are you coming? Dude, I wanna meet you when you get here. Great idea.

Message me, I can help you find them.

(Stovetop stuffing - it's store bought stuffing, it's actually pretty good.)

[bluemeeniesteve]

this is awesome and not creepy at all, they obviously made the mistake of emailing the wrong james west for 3 years.....enjoy your thanksgiving in america james!

[ultracatchify]

Think of the weird conversations you would have with them if you do go to thanksgiving diner. You: "yeah.... so ive been stalking you for three years."

Them: " so............................­...................you made a map of who we are?"

P.S. stove top dressing is the shit you creepy digger you!

[tqdomains]

Have a safe flight, James. Looking forward to meeting you on Thursday! Don't forget the corn!! :)

[mntran24]

I'm looking forward to meeting you! Also, looking forward to some Aussie snacks!!!

[annaky76]

This is funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hano4me]

eww this is sickening.. Get a life man and stop stalking people!!

[inlovewithlove17]

HAHA LMFAO U FUCKIN CREEP

[Slipstream0001]

Hrmm you have their email addresses, I suppose you could write them an email. Then again I suppose you wouldn't get any attention if you did that.

[Jackcouldcanyou]

this is weird

just email them and ask lol

[toiletbrains]

i hope they invite you! if i were them, i would invite you, whats the worst thats gonna happen? You turn up with an automatic weapon? pfft youre more likely to do that if you get denied.

Im subscribing. keep us informed.

[Durbo88]

Don't go, don't ask. That's weird man, think about it from their end, some random guy knows stuff all about them just by accident and now invites himself over for Thanksgiving? Stop trying to track them down. You said it yourself, it's stalking and it's creepy.

[zarbicore]

hmmmmmmmmm how to contact a family of people when I have all of their email addresses hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Life is so hard, help me internets!

[vmmc64]

You seem really nice and 'safe'...lol......but didn't you ever consider that the real James may be missing or something? How come he hasn't said that he hasn't been getting their emails for 3 years? It sounds like the real James hasn't been in contact with them or they should have worked out what was going on by now. Don't you reckon? Something is amiss!!

[zarbicore]

@vmmc64 You think he is missing? What kind of logic is this?

I am sure a whole family would keep emailing a guy who is missing, and then even ask him to bring canned corn to thanksgiving......

[vmmc64]

@zarbicore ...I was thinking the real James may have been missing....because if this James has been getting his emails and yet he hasn't noticed or mentioned it to his family then that seems odd to me......Know what I mean now? Or am I the only one that gets what I mean....lol.....I hope not... :D

[alexloveslife]

you kinda look like ed westwick... ace!!

haha hope you found them!

[Noozygirl]

how cool.. hope you track down the trans and that they welcome you with open arms... You never know where you could end up... GOOD LUCK.... =D

[dmr74]

Good luck in your quest. 

[Becklin315]

If I was a Tran, I'd definitely let you come to thanksgiving :) very funny.

[Annjalie123]

its really wrong that you didnt tell the family they had been emailing the wrong guy. just imagine, that guy's life would've been like hell, he was probably really upset that no one in his family emailed him and probably committed suicide (or whatever) but u know what I mean. you should tell the family ASAP ur not the correct guy. as if u have been doing it for 3 years! i feel so sorry for the real james west. how would you feel if someone did this to you?

[Annjalie123]

@Annjalie123

if you were expecting emails from ur loved ones everyday and they never email you...how would you feel?

[stikitape214]

this is soo fake

:/

[xOxAllehxOx]

your so fun! i like this! :)

Whats wrong with this seriously... This is not like he asked to receive the emails they just started comming.. I cant beleive some of the hate comments, he is being honest and probably wants to experience a thanksgiving. Seriously whats the difference between this and internet dating you are meeting some you have never met online and probably only spoken thro emails any way, are all those people freaks.. This would be a great story for friends if yo
