Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Magic Zeit.
Speaker 1: The last trend short show title courtesy of Johnny Davis
Speaker 1: and super producer Anna Hosni is current OBSESSI with the
Speaker 1: Magic Mic Live show. Yeah, she has informed me that
Speaker 1: I need to take my wife to it as soon
Speaker 1: as possible to give her life. I'm told so. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But but just a rave from super producer Ana Hosnie, like,
Speaker 1: you know, multiple text messages, just like there's a story there,
Speaker 1: and there's they really tie it all together. Channing Tatum
Speaker 1: might be a genius. I think she talked about this
Speaker 1: yesterday also, but um, it's the momentum has not flagged
Speaker 1: in terms of her excitement about the live show. Anyways,
Speaker 1: I'm thrilled to be joined by the co host for
Speaker 1: today's trend writer were t d Easy it is Jim McNab. Hello,
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me, Hi. I also think you should
Speaker 1: take your wife to go see Magic Mike Live. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you were saying show or what a real man looks
Speaker 1: like before we started recording, exactly what I said When
Speaker 1: you said it has a story, I'm just imagine like
Speaker 1: it brought me right back to like when Ninja Turtles
Speaker 1: had that live show and like they had to defeat
Speaker 1: Shredder with the power of key tars. Yeah, I imagine
Speaker 1: I didn't catch that one, but I've caught the Paw
Speaker 1: Patrol live show with my kids, and the storyline there
Speaker 1: seems to have been conceived of in three minutes. A
Speaker 1: perfunctory is what I screamed as I was watching it
Speaker 1: in the theater. Theater, I said, this is not theater.
Speaker 1: The story is perfunctory. The music number is our blah
Speaker 1: drab uninspired. Skip yelled at Rubble, who was DJing the
Speaker 1: set um for some reason, he was a DJ all
Speaker 1: of a sudden. Yeah, give me a break, Rubble, Shit,
Speaker 1: Come on, man, guys, guy's a construction worker. You think
Speaker 1: he's all of a sudden a DJ. Uh no offense
Speaker 1: to construction workers, But I don't think you can be DJs. Um,
Speaker 1: All right, jam, let's get into the trends. Yeah. We
Speaker 1: also shout out to Johnny Davis, still out here, given
Speaker 1: us short show titles that are always great. Thank you
Speaker 1: Johnny Davis. Um, No, thank you Russia is what I'm
Speaker 1: saying on behalf of Tom Cruise. So there's a story
Speaker 1: that Tom Cruise was planning to make a movie in
Speaker 1: the International Space Station, aided by a ride from SpaceX.
Speaker 1: Just all our favorite brands coming together, Scientology, whatever. Elon
Speaker 1: Musk's cult is going to be called. Um. We talk
Speaker 1: about his plan for a company town in Texas aka
Speaker 1: Commune on tomorrow's episode. But the hope was he was
Speaker 1: going to be the first person to film a movie
Speaker 1: in space. I was not hopeful because my feeble brain
Speaker 1: could not think of the right premise for a movie
Speaker 1: filmed in space that Tom Cruise would be on board with,
Speaker 1: like it just yeah, it's hard to run, yeah in
Speaker 1: the space station. But so I watched the trailer. So
Speaker 1: the none of the stories that Russia beat him to it.
Speaker 1: They filmed a movie on the space station. They just
Speaker 1: released a trailer, and I am fully on board with
Speaker 1: the trailer. The trailer looks really good. I was wrong
Speaker 1: to doubt this idea. It looks cool. It's called The Challenge,
Speaker 1: and it is just an episode of MTVS. The Challenge
Speaker 1: in space just recreated line for line Johnny Bananas. So
Speaker 1: it's a great premise. This is what the premise should
Speaker 1: have been. This is what the premise that my brain
Speaker 1: should have come up with. But I think, I think
Speaker 1: the presence of Tom Cruise stopped it. But it's basically
Speaker 1: a astronaut on or a cosmonaut in this case, on
Speaker 1: the space station, gets badly injured, can't be transported back
Speaker 1: down to Earth without you know, harming him, needs emergency surgery,
Speaker 1: and so they need to send a team of you know,
Speaker 1: needle knows doctors up into space. It's like Armageddon if
Speaker 1: Armageddon's plot made sense. Yeah, because like, yeah, that's the
Speaker 1: thing they always say about Armageddon is like, why don't
Speaker 1: they just train astronauts to drill instead of vice versa?
Speaker 1: But like you think of an Affleck said to Michael
Speaker 1: Bay on the set of Armageddon. He said, Michael Bay,
Speaker 1: real quick, que just a quick question, why wouldn't they
Speaker 1: teach astronauts who are notoriously quick learners how to how
Speaker 1: to drill? And Michael Bay said, Ben, shut the fuck
Speaker 1: up up, And that was that was the entirety of
Speaker 1: the conversation. And then Ben Affleck got drunk and did
Speaker 1: the DVD commentary and told that story to be fair,
Speaker 1: like on the set, like wearing a space suit is
Speaker 1: not the time to bring up that complaint. That's a
Speaker 1: good point, Um but anyways, uh, yeah, this this makes sense.
Speaker 1: This is like you couldn't probably teach an astronaut to
Speaker 1: be a like expert surgeon in the space of a
Speaker 1: couple days, right or you know how quickly they need
Speaker 1: to get them up there. Um, and the space footage
Speaker 1: looks really cool, Like it looks great, it looks super cool.
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't understand what anyone was saying. Uh
Speaker 1: so maybe I did not either. It might just be nonsense.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but uh but it looked cool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I mean you can actually see like you have
Speaker 1: that visceral feeling when they look out like the window
Speaker 1: and you see earthy and and yes, it's cool. I
Speaker 1: mean yeah, to the bar has been raised for Tom
Speaker 1: Cruise to do something crazy in space, even crazier than this. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And also, Russia is apparently going to leave the International
Speaker 1: Space Station project in twenty twenty four, so a farewell letter.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's also why it's going to be good, because
Speaker 1: it's not going to be like propaganda. It's gonna be like, well,
Speaker 1: we did you know we're leaving anyway, Let's just we're
Speaker 1: not fans of this, ye, but yeah, probably not. It'll
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how they treat any astronauts that
Speaker 1: are aboard if they're just like funk these guys, they're
Speaker 1: just like shotgunning beers and space. And did the other
Speaker 1: astronauts even know it's a movie? Like are they just
Speaker 1: kind of making it like borat or something? He just
Speaker 1: went up there with a camera. That's a good point, um.
Speaker 1: Miss McConnell was concustant. A fall is in hospital, as
Speaker 1: they would say in the UK, and not really much
Speaker 1: to say about that was it. The USA Today was like,
Speaker 1: what is a concussion? Yeah? That was their headline, which interesting.
Speaker 1: Who is reading USA Today checking in the news about
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell and doesn't know what a concussion? I don't
Speaker 1: understand who this headline is for. Amazing. All right, We
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about Tucker Carlson's continued obsession with your country,
Speaker 1: your homeland, Canada. Yeah, because he recently suggested in his
Speaker 1: fun Way where he's like joking, not joking, that America
Speaker 1: should invade Canada. Yeah, which was the premise of a
Speaker 1: John Candy movie. Yes, doesn't seem like, yeah the best idea.
Speaker 1: It's based on a viral video, like because he's just
Speaker 1: like racist tosh point. Oh, I guess you know, some
Speaker 1: bigoted piece of shit in a goofy hat came to
Speaker 1: disrupt a drag Queen's story hour at a Calgary public
Speaker 1: library and was escorted out because he refused to stop
Speaker 1: screaming and refused to leave, and you know, was screaming
Speaker 1: about the homosexual agenda, which talk about things that aren't
Speaker 1: appropriate for children to be around. You know that he
Speaker 1: just made it horrifying situation for everyone and was escorted out.
Speaker 1: And Tucker Carlson thought the treatment of him was rough
Speaker 1: enough that he should suggest starting a war. Your thoughts
Speaker 1: Jams as the official spokesperson for Canada, Ya, Well, I
Speaker 1: mean it's just so stupid. It's extra stupid because it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he had this like Chiron on the how you say Chiron,
Speaker 1: I've never said saying, you know, like Canada has become
Speaker 1: this authoritarian like atheists state, because I guess this guy's
Speaker 1: like the pastor of some you know, right wing ridiculous
Speaker 1: sect of whatever. But anyway, so saying like, yeah, like
Speaker 1: he framed it as like in Canada, if you believe
Speaker 1: in Jesus, they will throw you out of a library
Speaker 1: and rough you up you know, it's like, well, no,
Speaker 1: this fucking guy like is going in, you know, screaming
Speaker 1: about the homosexual agenda, yelling at kids are just trying
Speaker 1: to have a story right to them, I mean, and
Speaker 1: even like putting aside all of the bigoted shit he said,
Speaker 1: and how like obviously repulsive. This guy is, Like, you
Speaker 1: can't go in and just start yelling in a library,
Speaker 1: like even to be treated. If I yell in a
Speaker 1: library about anything, it's not like, yeah, it's not this
Speaker 1: authoritarian state. Yell about anything else in a library. They
Speaker 1: will probably ask you not to, like yeah, and they
Speaker 1: might if you continue doing so. After they tell you
Speaker 1: to stop screaming about ice cream, like, they will probably
Speaker 1: you know, forcibly remove you from the premises. It's just
Speaker 1: so stupid. But it does seem like because yeah, he
Speaker 1: also he likes straight up and another show said that
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson, I mean, suggested invading Canada because it's become Cuba,
Speaker 1: and uh, like I think one of the NDP MP's
Speaker 1: here like wanted like a formal condemnation. Uh the NDPS
Speaker 1: like the sort of left leaning political party here, so
Speaker 1: it's being noticed. I think it does seem like it's
Speaker 1: the the trucker Convoy is kind of like broke in
Speaker 1: his brain. Yeah, yeah, and he's trying to like keep
Speaker 1: that keep that vibe going. It was the trucker Convoy
Speaker 1: officially a vibe, right exactly. But it's like, yeah, let's
Speaker 1: like trying trying to have that, you know, apply the
Speaker 1: misconceptions he had about that story to you know, a
Speaker 1: guy being thrown out of a small librarian Calgary. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is this is a direct quote, why are we
Speaker 1: not sending an armed force north deliberate Canada? From Trudeau?
Speaker 1: And I mean it, but that's how you know, funny
Speaker 1: people are joking as they say and I mean it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he just generally, I mean, I don't. It'll be
Speaker 1: interesting to see how his show continues on as like
Speaker 1: these leaks of him being like, yeah, Trump is worthless
Speaker 1: and bad for the Republican Party and I don't believe
Speaker 1: in any of this are revealed, and then every night
Speaker 1: on a show he's like, we should start a civil war.
Speaker 1: The election was rigged. After more and more evidence comes
Speaker 1: out that he privately does not believe that. What it
Speaker 1: feels like, he'll just he'll find a way. Anyways, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break, we'll come back to talk about
Speaker 1: important things like the oscars. And we're back. And there
Speaker 1: was the American tourists. Two Americans were killed in Mexico,
Speaker 1: and this has apparently been a big story on Fox.
Speaker 1: They were killed by cartel. It's a horrible, horrific tragedy.
Speaker 1: But the latest update on this is that the cartel
Speaker 1: left people like from their cartel in the car that
Speaker 1: the police were looking for in connection with a kidnapping,
Speaker 1: left them like tied up in the car with an
Speaker 1: letter being like our bad. Actually these guys as bad.
Speaker 1: We didn't mean to do this a direct quote from
Speaker 1: the letter. We have decided to turn over those who
Speaker 1: were directly involved and responsible in the events, who had
Speaker 1: all times acted under their own decision making a lack
Speaker 1: of discipline, and you know, those individuals had gone against
Speaker 1: the cartel's rules, which include respecting the life and well
Speaker 1: being of the innocent. So some major league ass covering
Speaker 1: coming from this drug cartel. But it's just wild that
Speaker 1: they have like a pr strategy. I guess yeah. Do
Speaker 1: you think they have like their own stationary an apology?
Speaker 1: You know it's from them because at the stationary heading
Speaker 1: it's a wild story, obviously a tragic one. There is
Speaker 1: a new Netflix docuse series about Malaysia Flight MH three seventy,
Speaker 1: which is the plan that vanished almost a decade ago,
Speaker 1: so it's a documentary. It seems to be be coming
Speaker 1: from the thesis that nobody knows what happened here. I,
Speaker 1: for my money, I feel like we do know what
Speaker 1: happened here because of that evidence, Like we cover this
Speaker 1: back a long time ago on TDZ, but they found
Speaker 1: evidence like the pilot of the flight had a flight
Speaker 1: simulator in his home and he had done the exact
Speaker 1: flight that he like that the plane that they suspected
Speaker 1: the plane based on like transponders and everything like, that
Speaker 1: was the last flight simulation he flew. So the theory
Speaker 1: is that he was suicidal and decided to take an
Speaker 1: entire plane full of people with him and had planned
Speaker 1: to do it, had flown the flight simulation, and then
Speaker 1: because he had turned off the transponders and depressurise the plane,
Speaker 1: which would have knocked all the passengers out. That's why
Speaker 1: I was like so silent and so mysterious, and then
Speaker 1: you know, you crash it and like most of the
Speaker 1: earth is ocean, and so the fact that like nobody
Speaker 1: found the plane's wreckage is not all that strange, But
Speaker 1: it seems like they are, Like the Washington Post article
Speaker 1: about this like could be a piece of you know,
Speaker 1: sponsored content from the documentary, because it's like there's a
Speaker 1: lot of like I did a search for the word
Speaker 1: like flight simulator, because that seems to be the key
Speaker 1: piece of evidence that like it answers the mystery. Like
Speaker 1: it's pretty it's a pretty big smoking gun that he
Speaker 1: had flown the exact flight as his last, not like
Speaker 1: at one point over the course as his last simulation.
Speaker 1: But that like they don't talk about that because I
Speaker 1: guess it takes away from the mystery, and you know,
Speaker 1: you don't want to spoil your big docuseries. Well I
Speaker 1: found one. There's one review I found that says, I
Speaker 1: guess there's like three episodes and then in the first
Speaker 1: episode they address that theory that it was like a
Speaker 1: murder suicide, but then it says an episode two they
Speaker 1: go into the ill supported theory involving the Russian government. Sure,
Speaker 1: and then it says an episode three they present a
Speaker 1: conspiracy that the plane was destroyed by the American government
Speaker 1: so that the Chinese wouldn't get their hands on certain technology.
Speaker 1: So I guess it's like a different premise in each
Speaker 1: and they get less and less plausible as it goes
Speaker 1: on for some reason. Well at least they open with
Speaker 1: the one that actually makes sense. But yeah, it is
Speaker 1: a favored conspiracy theory area. I am not anti conspiracy theories.
Speaker 1: I'm just I don't think people should waste their time
Speaker 1: on conspiracy theories. That seemed to be pretty clear cut.
Speaker 1: But yeah. Oh, and it says they do to a
Speaker 1: fourth episode, and the fourth episode is just the whole
Speaker 1: show of Lost. They just start playing Lost. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: turns out they were in purgatory the whole time, all right,
Speaker 1: And then the oscars are happening this weekend. There's a
Speaker 1: weird story about how like Zelinski wanted to come and
Speaker 1: wasn't allowed to come. I guess, yeah, I guess he
Speaker 1: wanted to like zoom in Magan appearance, and they were like, no,
Speaker 1: thank you, sir, We've We've had plenty. She apparently was
Speaker 1: the case last year as well, but I don't remember
Speaker 1: hearing that at the time. That he asked to be
Speaker 1: a part of the telecast and they said no, yeah,
Speaker 1: which seems like it seems like the kind of weird,
Speaker 1: tone deaf thing that the Oscars would do. So it's
Speaker 1: kind of I don't know why um encounter to their
Speaker 1: nature to do something that suggests that they're like, we're
Speaker 1: not the center of the world, We're not important enough
Speaker 1: to like because I remember there was a story in
Speaker 1: the early days of the war that like Robert de
Speaker 1: Niro was trying to get Lensky to like come to
Speaker 1: his Tribeca Film Festival because like this is like when
Speaker 1: as he is at the height of trying to like
Speaker 1: marshal an actual war like day to day, they were like,
Speaker 1: what if we if you came through and like introduced
Speaker 1: this docuseries. Well he did, they said, he just did,
Speaker 1: Like he just did a similar thing at the Berlin
Speaker 1: Film Festival. So he's making he's doing this making room. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's I don't think he's like has a short or anything.
Speaker 1: I think he's just you know, uh talking about the war,
Speaker 1: I guess. But it is weird this like, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: all kind of entertainment venues that like when what would
Speaker 1: he do with the Oscars, Like he's going to come
Speaker 1: and winning. Yeah, he's a huge tar head. Uh and yeah,
Speaker 1: he um. I don't know. Well, we'll talk more about
Speaker 1: like what's expected to win and stuff like that on
Speaker 1: Tomorrow's trending. But do you have a personal pick? Who
Speaker 1: are a personal favorite? I mean I think, like I
Speaker 1: was telling you before, like I do love everything everywhere
Speaker 1: all at once, Like it's it's in another world, it
Speaker 1: would be the underdog, and like it would be nominated
Speaker 1: to be like, oh, how did this weird movie that
Speaker 1: came out last March get nominated? Like we're rooting for that,
Speaker 1: but it's it's in this weird position where it's kind
Speaker 1: of the favorite to win it as the most nominations,
Speaker 1: and there's you know, there's a sense I think about,
Speaker 1: like the Oscars nominate movies that aren't cool. It's not
Speaker 1: cool to win the Oscars. It's usually like the lame
Speaker 1: movie wins and the cool movie doesn't win. Yeah, or
Speaker 1: it was neglected and or not nominated. But now I
Speaker 1: just love that movie and I actually do hope it
Speaker 1: hope it will. Yeah. It feels like my experience with
Speaker 1: the Oscars is not letting my brain except that it will,
Speaker 1: because it does feel like the right movie to win.
Speaker 1: It's definitely the movie of the year in terms of
Speaker 1: like being this breakthrough hit, like critically beloved, like audiences
Speaker 1: loved it. And in the same way that my brain
Speaker 1: is not letting me believe that there's not going to
Speaker 1: be like a twenty minute interview between Sean Penn and
Speaker 1: Zelinsky in the middle of it, like it's like, wait, what,
Speaker 1: why are they making the right decision here? So I
Speaker 1: don't I don't want to give them too much credit.
Speaker 1: So there's just just like it's a false story to
Speaker 1: like set you up right exactly, and then we surprise
Speaker 1: them because putin read deadline, so you know, and then
Speaker 1: Best Pictures like, oh, it was a right end for
Speaker 1: they gave it to Green Book again. Yeah, like too
Speaker 1: many Green Books for me to fully trust that they're
Speaker 1: going to give it to the to the right movie here.
Speaker 1: But we'll see, all right, jam Well, we will let
Speaker 1: you get back to defending your Nation from invasion by
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson. Thank you. I'm fashioning a bayonet out of
Speaker 1: pipe cleaners just in case you go, where can people
Speaker 1: find you? Follow you all that good stuff? You can
Speaker 1: find me on Twitter at jam McNabb again. Amazing well
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for us this afternoon. We are
Speaker 1: back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show.
Speaker 1: Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves,
Speaker 1: get the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and
Speaker 1: we'll talk to you all tomorrow by
